Smartie, Cockroach's smartphone son, rode in Monger's jeep, going over the plan. It was likely that it was a group kidnapping the monsters; Smartie would hack into their phones and computer network to cut off communications and bring down security. Then Monger and his troops could run in guns blazing!
Finding the jeep Team Monster had abandoned, they found Chewie running over to them alone. The chupacabra led them to a metal door in the ground, not a monster in sight. The general had anticipated something like this and had called in for a plan B. Two figures approached him. "For once I'm glad to see you Man-Beast," the general greeted.
"Always happy to help Susan," the wolfman smiled grimly. Smartie hid in his pocket as he approached the door alone. It opened suddenly with a taser shot at the wolf, stunning him into near unconsciousness before being pulled inside.
Team Monster woke up in a daze, unsure of what had happened. Susan was wrapped with a metal restraint which prevented her growth. B.O.B. was squished inside a plastic case with no holes, his eye on a shelf by the door. Link was locked in a tank in the room, across from the cage where Susan, Cockroach, and four werewolves were locked up. On the wall opposite the door were two other cages and a preservation tube. The tube was empty. In one cage was a hideous creature with blue, warty skin and long fingernails and foaming fangs. In the other cage was a Bigfoot, which looked like a tall human with huge feet and covered in hair, and a green, reptilian creature without a tail. Above these cages was a huge cage with a gigantic bald eagle with a second head growing out of its chest, a man-sized owl, a large goat with bat wings and fangs, a girl with a muzzle wrapped around her mouth, and a half-serpent half-eagle, all chained to the walls.
"Isn't this just peachy," muttered Link, started when a voice inside the tank "mm-hmmed" in agreement and a pair of eyes floated over to him.
"Where are we?" questioned Cockroach, holding his aching head.
One of the werewolves, the only male, spoke up, "We are in Cutter's holding cells, waiting for experimentation."
"Did you say Cutter?!" interjected Susan, ignoring a muffled cry of "Evildoer!" The werewolf nodded. Just then, the door slid open, revealing a group of humans dragging a semi-conscious Man-Beast into the room.
"Back away from the gate!" warned one of the guards. Susan, Cockroach, and three of the wolves backed off, those who were able raising their hands. The guards carried laser guns, security cards dangling from strings on their bellies. One wolf, a young female, stayed in front of the gate with her hands up. "Back away!" the guard hissed.
"I ain't doin' nothin'," she replied. The guard swiped his card in the lock, opening the door so his companions could drag the Man-Beast inside. After they dropped him, the she-wolf jumped up, grabbing the bars of the ceiling. She swung her feet forward, kicking one of the guards in the face before letting go of the bars. The other guard quickly zapped her with a taser, stunning her so she landed groaning on her back. The humans locked the cell and left the room.
The other young female wolf and the male wolf came forward, the female helping Man-Beast to his feet while the male scolded the troublemaker. "Why you do this? You stupid?"
"I got his card key, didn't I?" she smirked as she took a card from between her toes, which she had covered with her tail after grabbing the card.
"Ingenious!" shouted the lizard-bird.
"Quet, shush!" the Bigfoot put a finger to his lips. "They'll see on the camera!" The she-wolf hid the card as the security camera pointed at the wolf cage before sweeping around to the other side of the room. Cockroach helped the wolf up and she swiped the card in a lock in Susan's restraint, then swiped it through the lock of the cage.
"Way to go, Mama!" cheered the green liquid Link was floating in, freaking him out further, although he hid it from the others.
On the p.a. next to the door, a boy's voice came on, "Dad, can you hear me?"
"Smartie!" grinned the mad scientist, crawling to the intercom. "You've infiltrated their system?"
"Yeah, easy!" answered the phone smugly, the camera swiveling around to point at the bugman.
Susan turned a valve on Link's tank, opening the top so he could jump out. A green blob followed him, revealing a big smile and a pair of eyes similar to B.O.B.'s. The older, injured she-wolf threw the blue blob's case on the ground, shattering it and freeing the friendly monster. The other wolves were unlocking the bird cage and most of the bird-like creatures. The owl and goat-thing tried to lash out at the others and were left in their chains. Susan released the Bigfoot and green creature, but was warned not to let out the Bogeyman. The ugly creature jumped around, furious and foaming. "Hey kid," the green blob looked into the camera, "Can you see a blonde lady in a gray cape anywhere?"
"Hold on, hold on, oh, she's on a dissection table!"
