The group approached the Pyramids of Giza and eyed the Sphinx. Wilhelm snaps a photo of it on his phone. Suddenly, there was a sandstorm. In need for shelter, the group rushed toward the biggest pyramid and came to the entrance. Walking down the steps into the tomb away from the violent windstorm, Fritz lit a lantern.

"Just so you know, this is definitely going into my "Most Craziest, Yet Super Interesting Vacations" file." Wilhelm told him.

The storm surprised everyone by following them inside and forming into two figures. Each one rapped in bandages and wore royal Egyptian pharaoh wear.

"What the hell?" Ulrich exclaimed.

"Who dares enter my land unannounced!?" The mummy ordered, his voice echoing around the chamber.

"I've seen a lot of those Mummy movies!" Frederick shouted as he held a small blade out to defend himself, but the mummy swatted it aside.

"King Imhotep, I presume?" Fritz said stepping forward.

"I am." He nodded.

"My lady." He bowed slightly to Queen Nefertiti.

"Why are you here?" Nefertiti demanded.

"Doomsday is coming." Fritz explained.

"Explain." Imhotep said.

"Sammael, lord of Hell, is after the secrets that their ancestor discovered." Fritz explained gesturing to the Frankensteins. "And he will stop at nothing until he gets them."

Imhotep paused and looked at Fritz a moment. "Come with me." He said.

He and his queen lead the group further into the tomb. Wilhelm was snapping some photos of the decor and the paintings. They came to a chamber filled with mystic artifacts. Imhotep removed a jeweled scarab.

"I sensed a deception amongst you all. This scarab will bite whoever it is that deceives me." The Mummy muttered a spell and the scarab came alive, leaping straight at Wilhelm and biting his hand.

"OW!" He shrieked.

Everyone gasped. "Dad!?" Frederick exclaimed.

"I'm not tricking you, Mr. Imhotep! I swear!" He explained hysterically, trying to reason with him.

"More lies!" Imhotep fired a blast of ancient magic.

Dracula quickly stood in front of him and held his hand out, eyes glowing. Imhotep's magic died down as well as his temper. Fritz picked the scarab up and examined it.

"I think your scarab has been tampered with." He noted.

Imhotep didn't listen and muttered another spell. Jackal-headed soldiers appeared and attacked the group. Jekyll imbibed a serum from a vial and turned into Hyde while Larry transformed into the Wolfman and the two fought against the guards, while Dracula summoned his bats. Nefertiti summoned a miniature sandstorm to join the fight.

A loud gunshot interrupted the brawl and everyone looked to see Fritz holding a rifle into the air.

"That's enough of this." He said sternly. "This is exactly what Sammael wants us to do. He and his demons are close to taking our world for himself and you all are acting like CHILDREN!" He turned to Imhotep and handed him the scarab. "Your scarab must've been messed with and we did not come here for you to spread out rumors amongst us and just jump to conclusions."

"You dare to lecture-!?" Imhotep suddenly paused as he felt his thoughts suddenly change. "No, perhaps you are right. I will reexamine the scarab." They all turned to Nefertiti.

"I will trust my husband's judgement." She then turned to Fritz "...but lecture me again, compare me to a child and you die!"

"No promises." Fritz responded. The she-mummy glared.

"I wonder how your mother's doing." Wilhelm told his sons.


Margot Frankenstein was sitting in the Golden Gate Park in San Francisco with her friend Katherine "Kat" Belschings. Margot would sometimes come down here with her family to visit her family time to time, but this time, she decided her boys needed some bonding time. To reconnect for her sake. She and Kat used to go to high school together. The two women sat at a picnic table and spoke about their lives.

"So what's new?" Kat asked her best friend.

"Wilhelm just texted me saying he and the boys are traveling to world together." Margot sighed. "Having a little father-son bonding thing. It's been forever since they've done anything together."

"That's a good thing, isn't it?" Kat asked.

"Yeah, but..." Margot was about to answer when the two saw Kat's son, Louis and his friends come over.

"Hey, guys." Kat greeted her son and the rest. "Louis. I'd like you and your friends to meet my friend, Margot. She's from Maine. I used to go to school with her and her husband."

"Hi." They all greeted warmly.

"She's going to be with us for a few days." Kat explained.

"Nice to meet you kids." Margot said.

They all shook hands and exchanged greetings. "So what are you here for?" Olivia, one of Louis's older friends, asked.

"My husband has a job in town. I don't get to see him or my sons that I often so I took time to visit." Margot explained. Her phone beeped and she looked at it.

"My youngest son, Ulrich just texted me. 'We're heading to Brazil now.'" She read the text.


The group was now riding a plane to Brazil. The monsters were sitting in the middle section of the plane. Some people eyed the oddly. Most assumed they were cosplayers. Larry was eating a paper manuel, catching the attention of a flight attendant.

"What?" Larry growled. For his part, Dracula was debating with a group of "Twilight" fans.

"Um, sir. You're not supposed to eat that." The flight attendant said.

"Then bring me something!" Larry ordered disgruntled.

"How can you children believe this Cullen boy is a true Vampire? He sparkles in the sun!" Dracula asked a couple of young people sitting on the left side of him.

"He can survive in the daylight." A male fan said.

"So can I-I mean Dracula! The movies have it wrong." Dracula said.

"What's that supposed to mean?" A dark-haired girl asked.

"Bram Stoker wrote that vampires could walk during the day if they wanted but they were powerless until nightfall." Dracula said.

"Sounds legit." The boy shrugged.

"Well, not to me!" The girl exclaimed. "How can you compare a stud like Edward to that geezer Dracula?"

The boy scoffed at his friend's bigheadedness. "Well, I'm sorry that not all vampires are hot male models with pale skin, cool hair and strong pecs."

"Shut up! No one cares about your opinion! Edward's hotter than Count Dork-ula!" exclaimed the girl hotly.

Dracula snarled under his breath. "You're lucky it's daytime here."

"Beg your pardon?" The girl asked.

"Nothing." He said quickly.

Wilhelm laughed when he looked at his phone and said "My wife just send me a photo. Look." He shows it to Fritz. It showed Margot, Kat, Louis and his friends posing in front of the camera. Fritz just grunted at this and face-palmed.

"What's the matter?" Wilhelm asked.

"How can you be calm!?" Fritz demanded. "We're at war."

"Just thinking of something positive." Wilhelm countered.

"Yeah, positive." Ulrich muttered apathetically as he looked at the same photo on his phone. "Hope Mom's okay."


Meanwhile, Olivia was sharing her stories with everyone. Kat laughed at the sight and turned to Margot who smiled weakly in return.

"So this guy just jumped behind me while I was on the bus and I guess he just wanted to look at my butt the whole time." Olivia said, recalling a rather embarrassing time.

All of her friends laughed her expense. "Well, you are pretty attractive." Julia, one of the friends, told her.

"I know that. But I'd rather have a certain someone stare at my backside." Olivia grunted crossing her arms, wanting to end this subject.

"Is there something you want to share?" Julia asked Margot who seemed out of it.

"There isn't very much to tell." Margot shook her head.

"There must be something about you that we don't know." Julia said with persistence.

"My story won't capture your interest very much." Margot said to them. "But I bet someone..."- She jabbed a finger at Kat -"...has something more important to tell you."

"Huh?" asked a confused Kat.

"Tell them about the time we went to the Limp Biskit concert after you had Chinese for lunch." Margot said.

The kids started pestering Kat and Margot slipped away, letting a frown crease her features. All of this was starting to remind her of her family, her two boys, which made her miss her boys even more. She hoped they were alright.


"We have arrived." Fritz said.

"Now passengers, we are now arriving in Rio de Janeiro. Weather is perfect 12 degrees Celsius. Time is exactly 10:45 P.M-" The pilot announced. Larry looked all around.

"Whose saying that?" He asked confused.

"We'll explain later." Ulrich said and helped him out of his seat. Their plane made a clear landing along the tarmac in Rio de Janiero-Galeão International Airport in the city of Rio, Brazil. They exited the plane and left the airport. The monsters of the group looked around the establishment they were in. All of the things they weren't familiar with caught them by surprise. The restaurants and everything. Renting a car, a van, big enough for all of them, they drove across the city. Wilhelm took photos of the city around them with a tinge of excitement. As they stopped at a red light, Larry observed at the beachgoers of the Ipanema beach. It confused him as to why most of the people of the beach wore less clothing. There was one voluptuous young girl with olive skin and chest brown hair tied in ponytail who was rather beautiful. She wore a black and white-stripped two-piece bikini and Larry's hormones were on fire as his face heated up. His werewolf instincts almost took control of him. The girl saw him and with a flirty glance, she blew him a kiss and winked at him. Larry blushed at this.

"Notice anything, old chap?" Jekyll asked him.

"Nothing important." Larry lied.

Minutes turned into hours as they drove across the country, viewing the Brazilian landscapes and whatnot.

"Who are we looking for next?" Jekyll asked.

"You'll see." Fritz said.

Finally, after what seemed like forever, they arrived at the Amazon rainforest and started hiking to find the river.

"If the movies are incorrect, what are your true weaknesses?" Jekyll asked Dracula.

"Too many to count." Dracula answered.

"Does Hyde ever speak to you?" Ulrich asked Jekyll.

"Sometimes." Jekyll shrugged in responce.

It was an exhausting trip along the long jungle, cutting through vines, climbing through mountains, but they made it to the Amazon River. "Who lives here?" Frederick asked.

"A humanoid fish creature. The one you've probably seen from The Creature from the Black Lagoon." Fritz said. Ulrich nodded.

"Is there even a place called the Black Lagoon?" Frederick explained.

"No, but films embellish." Fritz said and suddenly sensed trouble close by.

"What is it?" Wilhelm asked.

"We are being followed." The old man said. All of the sudden, the group is ambushed by a gang of demons. The monsters spring into action, Jekyll quickly turning into Hyde. During the fight, one demon was thrown into the river and thrown out a second later. A humanoid creature with amphibious features, a long fish tail, greenish skin, large gills around his neck, moist, seaweed-like black hair with white streaks, webbed fingers and torn dark clothes and bare feet, staggered out of the water and join the fight. With Dracula killing the final demon, the group all turned to the fish-man before them. The monsters prepared to attack the newcomer.

"Wait!" Fritz halted everyone before turning to the fish man. "Are you the Creature from the Black Lagoon?"

The creature looked confused.

"What are you called?" Fritz asked.

"K'awiil" It said.

"K'awiil." Fritz repeated. "Can we call you "Kaa"?" The creature nodded.

"We could use your help." Fritz said.

The creature tilted it's head.

"It's rather important." Fritz said, but the creature only looked confused.

"O lorde demônio, Sammael está planejando mergulhar o mundo em sua própria versão do Inferno. Você vai nos ajudar?" Wilhelm explained everything to the Creature in Portuguese.

The creature slowly nodded.

"You in?" Wilhelm asked. Kaa smiled.


Louis noticed Margot's off expression and decided to strike up a conversation.

"So what are your sons like?" He asked.

Margot turned at the young lad and smiled sadly. "Frederick is the professor at a medical school and Ulrich is a part of his class." Margot explained.

"Tell me about them." Louis said.

"Oh, you'd get bored." Margot said.

"Try me." Louis crossed her arms.

"Well, I remember once..."


(FLASHBACK)

Margot was washing dishes when an 8-year old Frederick rushed in. He was carrying a dead bird.

"Ew, Fred! What is that?" Margot exclaimed seeing her son holding a dead animal.

"It's a bird and I'm gonna save it." The child said.

"Baby, it's already...fast asleep." Margot gently explained.

"I can save it!" Frederick proclaimed and ran off with the bird up to his room. Ulrich came out of his room and followed Frederick.

"Wha'cha doin'?" Ulrich asked.

"Come in and I'll show you." Frederick said and gestured his brother inside. He placed the dead bird down a small table and took some cables connected to large batteries attached to a small gadget with a large switch. He attaches the cables to the bird's legs and charged up the batteries to his invention.

"Wow!" Ulrich said awestruck.

Frederick gripped the switch and flipped it on. A series of electrical currents came before them as the dead bird was being electrocuted.

Margot came in. "Boys, I-Oh my god!" She yelped until seeing what was going on. Frederick turned the switch off and all was quiet for a moment. He and Ulrich waited until suddenly,...the bird moved!

"Awesome!" Ulrich yelled. Then the two brothers laughed.

(END OF FLASHBACK)


"Two 8-year old boys brought a dead bird to life?" Louis asked. Margot nodded.

"Wow." Louis breathed. "So what are they like nowadays?"

"Pretty much the same." Margot said honestly. "Not really. Frederick's mostly drinking on the job and he's kinda quirky. Ulrich, well, he's not exactly the emotional type. He never smiles, he wears makeup. He's a Goth, by the way. All he ever wants is to be left alone. He and Fred used to get along, but they just don't look at each other the same way anymore."

"Don't they ever talk?" Louis asked.

"They speak to each other occasionally." Margot said. "Sometimes, Fred would try to get Ulrich to help him with his experiments as his assistant. Ulrich is not too keen on that."

"You know, me and my brothers don't usually get along." said Louis.

"Do they have books in their rooms?" Margot asked.

"Yeah, but they just have those as decorations, as they've told me. They don't actually read them." Louis said.

"I mean, Ulrich has a paraphernalia of Gothic horror novels like The Raven, The Tell-Tale Heart, The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, The Mysteries of Udolpho, The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, The Picture of Dorian Gray, etc."

"He has all that?" Louis asked wide-eyed.

"Yeah." Margot nodded. "It's like he's stuck in his own imaginary world of monsters, ghosts and demons."

"It is the Gothic way." Louis acknowledged.

"That's what I said." Margot chuckled at that.

"So you said that their in Brazil. Why are they there and you're here?" Louis asked.

Margot was silent when he asked such a question.


The gang was riding a boat in the Mediterranean Sea. The Creature from the Black Lagoon, named Kaa, was now a part of the League and is now joining them on their quest for the diminishing the apocalypse. After leaving Brazil, the group had gone on a cruise ship across the Atlantic Ocean. They put Kaa in black wardrobe to avoid detection from the other passengers. Two days of staying on the ship, they took a yacht for themselves and continued their journey over to their next destination.

"How did you manage to stay young forever, doctor?" Ulrich asked Jekyll.

"My formula had some unforeseen side effects." Jekyll said.

"Do you and Hyde ever get along?" Ulrich asked.

"No, but we can focus on a common goal." Jekyll answered.

"What goal?" He asked.

"For now? This." Jekyll replied modestly.

"Staying in one piece." Ulrich guessed.

"Defeating Sammael." Jekyll said.

Before Ulrich could say anything, he was hit with some rain drops and it then started to rain as a storm clouds rolled in. The loud clap of thunder in the distance boomed, alerting the League. Bolts of lightning shot from the sky into the sea. It rained and rained even harder as the storm got closer.

"Oh, great. Rain." Ulrich groaned as he got drenched.

Raging waves came in it's wake, knocking the boat around. Poseidon responded with a violent wind and more waves. But they kept going. Not even a storm in the sea was going to rob them of their confidence and determination.

Frederick screamed in fear as he clutched his brother tightly.

Wilhelm pulled the thrusters and made the boat go faster, narrowly missing the waves. Within minutes, they made it to their destination: Greece.

"You can let go of me now." Ulrich told Frederick. His brother sheepishly did got off the boat and onto the rocky ground. Looking up, there was a Greek parthenon on top a rocky hill.

"Whoa!" Wilhelm crows.

Thunder boomed and lightning struck as they climbed the hazardous rocky trail up to the parthenon. One bolt almost struck them and they finally made it to the ancient, derelict structure. A fearsome hiss was heard from the parthenon.

"What was that?" K'aa asked.

"How unusual." A feminine voice came as a woman with reptilian skin and snakes for hair approached them, wearing shades. The Frankensteins paled, but Ulrich just stared emotionless as usual.

Dracula spoke "Hello, Medusa."

"Who are all of you and why have you all come?" Medusa demanded.

"I am Dracula. My companions and I seek your aid." Dracula responded.

"Aid in what?" She asked.

"The defeat of Sammael." Fritz spoke up.

She gasped and her snake recoiled in terror. "I'm not sure." She hesitated. "My powers couldn't be any match for someone powerful as Sammael as he is dangerous."

Nefertiti scoffed. "Typical, vain, cowardly gorgon. It's just as well as the power of your eyes would never be enough in real battle."

Her snakes hissed at that comment. "Wanna bet?" She snarled.

The she-mummy smirked and took a fighting stance.

"Enough!" Fritz ordered.

"No." Dracula halted him. "We cannot recruit any weaklings into our forces and Medusa might be such. Let us test her."

"Very well." Medusa replied and her snakes lunged at Nefertiti. The mummy queen smacked each snake head away. Medusa rushed forward and threw a bunch of punches, but Nefertiti dodged them and counterattacks her. Medusa performed a spin kick and knocked Nefertiti to the ground. The she-mummy conjured a schimatar and charged her. Medusa removed her shades and beams shot from her eyes but Nefertiti was ready, deflecting them with the bade of her sword. One beam accidentally hit Jekyll, instantly turn to stone.

"Oh no!" Frederick cried.

"Best thing to happen all day." Ulrich comments. Imhotep conjured a spell that turned Jekyll back to normal. Nefertiti slashed at Medusa. But the gorgon finally overpowers her by swiping her sword and grabs her tight, holding the blade close to her neck.

"I yield!" Nefertiti said.

"Good." Medusa said and released her.

"Never seen such ferocity in a women, let alone a gorgon." Dracula commented.

"Don't hold your breath." Ulrich said.
