Chapter 11: set the roots with bombs...let the hunt begin.

disclaimer: don't own anything but the Ocs.

Once the party ended we find palmer and the others sitting infront of the school talking while waiting for palmers ride to come and take him and his cousins home. During this time spectra and the others decided to ask palmer questions about him and his family while this was being recorded for the ghostly gossip.

"so palmer, what can you tell us about your family and yourself?" asked spectra

"well origianly there were five of us here till these guys came so now theres ten of us in town." answered palmer "theres my dad ryan, my brothers jack and marki their twins and my sister molly the youngest of us. Then theres these guys johnny, hawkeye and ed along with their sisters tina and gaige"

"what about your mother?" asked draculaura causing palmer to look up to the sky before speaking again.

"my mother died four years ago after giving birth to my sister" he said making everyone quiet.

"I'm sorry I didn't know"

"no its okay I already grieved for her long ago so it doesn't bother me anymore. Besides I have the rest of family with me to get my back in any problem" palmer said

"uh changing the subject here you said you met sibella and the others a miss grimwoods right?" asked clawd

"yeah thats right" replied palmer

"isn't that a school for ghouls only?" he asked causing everyone to look at palmer.

"you went to an all girl school?" asked heath. After a few seconds of silence the sound of laughter is heard in the air. Looking around they find it coming from johnny and hawkeye.

"you went to an all girl school!" johnny said through the laughing.

"jealous?" palmer asked with a smirk making them stop.

"so how did you get into an all girl school anyway?" asked frankie

"my dad got a job as a gym teacher there and as a bounus me and my brothers got to go there for part of our school year, since we were with him" answered palmer

"wait I thought uncle ryan was a doctor?" asked johnny

"or a cop" said hawkeye

"bounty hunter" said ed

"yeah well he was a gym teacher this time" palmer replied

"what do you mean this time?" asked draculaura

"I mean my dad likes to try new things, seeing how they feel" said palmer "but sometimes he isn't always good at the job so I have to give a helping hand" he added making the others look at him with raised eyebrows. While this was going on palmer's ears perked up to the familiar sound of a vehicle approaching, hearing this palmer stands up and makes his way down the stairs before turning to the others "well I love to tell you all more about my life but my rides here" he said as the scrap dragger pulled up infront of him. Seeing this johnny and the others follow down the stairs to join up with palmer turning back to face the school one more time.

"gotta say this school is so much different from the others we've been to" said hawkeye

"yeah its got character and its a real party school" added johnny

"more crazy, more fun" ed said

"thats right ed, but be good" said palmer patting him on the head like a dog. While doing this he notice cleo walking up to him.

"you said before your family had to change your name because of some trouble in the past what did you mean by that?" cleo asked as spectra floated down next to her recoding all this.

"yes please tell us the public has a right to know"

"well its like this my family and I have run into a bit of trouble with some people and now there after us" answered palmer

"what did you do to make that happen?" asked spectra

"oh you know things like stealing large amounts of money or valuables from people, or destroying alot of business or property that cost millions" palmer replied as everyone around him had shocked expressions on their faces from hearing this. "Hey you asked and I got to give the public what they want" palmer said looking at the phone.

"so these people are looking for you because you owe them money?" asked lagoona

"some want money, some want my head on a silver platter, and others for...different reason" palmer replied

"how does someone handle all that?" asked jackson

"two ways, you can let this life control you and eventually die or go insane...or you stand up and face it head on...and go a little crazy" palmer said as everyone looks at him with open eyes "plus it helps to have a hobby or two on the side." he added snapping them out of their trance.

"so what else happen to you guys before coming here?" asked heath

"look I'd like to tell you more about my life but I need to go and pick up the young ones then get dinner ready so I gotta leave" palmer said

"wait you cook dude?" asked deuce

"yeah one of my hobbies and i'm the only one who can cook in my family" replied palmer turning around to head in but is stopped by winnie and elsa with sibella and phantasma behind him, surrounding him "uh oh ambush I have to warn you I don't go down easy"

"we're not going to attack you palmer" elsa said

"could've fooled me" palmer said looking at sibella which reminds them of ealier.

"we just want to know what happend to you after you left grimwoods like you and your family did" winnie said getting in his face.

"still the same werewolf as ever eh winnie, and I would love to hear about what happend to you all and tell you all about my time after grimwoods to now but that can wait till tomorrow" palmer said

"how do we know you will come back tomorrow and not just run off?" asked sibella

"hey its me remember and why would I leave a place like this?" palmer said gesturing to the school "this is my kind of school never a dull moment here and I can be me here like the rest of you i'm staying thats a fact" he said making them smile

"ok tomorrow you better tell us everything or its daylights for you" sibella said poking his chest

"don't know how a tan would be a punishment but okay I come tomorrow or I'll get a tan" palmer said playfully said making everyone laugh.

"Okay then its settle see you tomorrow and say hi to your family for us" phantasma said phasing through palmer giving a chill then a hug.

"yeah sure thing and please stop doing that" he said holding his chest. Getting back on his feet palmer says his goodbyes and recieves hugs from sibella, winnie and elsa then heads into the scrap dragger and heading off. After picking up the others they arrive home parking the car they enter the house to find their dad and willie past out on the floor surrounded by empty bottles of whiskey and beer cans. Seeing this palmer takes out a pistol and signals the others to cover thier ears, once they have he lets off a few shots in the air causing a loud bang waking his dad and willie in pain from the sound and hangover. Looking up they find palmer holding the gun and everyone surrounding him.

"let me guess we have to talk?" ryan said holding his head as palmer nodds

"everyone to the living room, ed grab the drunks i'll be in the kitchen" palmer said as everyone began to move with ed grabbing ryan and willie and taking them to the living room. In the living room everyone was sitting watching a monster movie while palmer was cooking something in the kitchen, ryan and willie were having another drink when palmer came in holding two plates of fried chicken placing them on the table. As soon as he did this everyone grabed a piece and began eating, ryan was the first to speak.

"ok what did you want to talk about this time?"

"I think its time we proceed with some of our plans as well as deal with some problems we're facing at the moment" palmer said before eating an entire chicken whole bones and all like a wild animal. Looking up from his meal he sees everyone looking at him "what?"

"you ok there?" ryan asked as palmer eats another chicken in the same manner.

"yeah its just almost time to let him out that all" palmer said continue to eat.

"so you mean you need to go on a hunt soon?" marki asked with excitement.

"yeah so after we get done with this meeting I will need to head out to start the hunt"

"can I come?" molly asked

"sorry baby but you know I have to go alone" palmer replied making her sad "but hey I promise I'll take you with me on one of my runs next time" saying this made her perk up again.

"ok with that over what should we do next" johnny asked "start setting the roots down?"

"no the first thing is getting us some extra green incase this doesn't work out how we want" palmer said

"so how do we do that get jobs?" hawkeye suggest

"hell no I plan on having a fun high school life that doesn't involve working a job everyday for peanuts" palmer replieds "with that said I may know of something that can help come on" palmer said getting up and leaving the living room, but returns to grab more chicken then leaves again with everyone following. We now find palmer and the others walking down a hallway that was the same one palmer was attacked by charmcaster in.

"so you gonna tell us where your taking us?" hawkeye asked throwing a bone at palmer who caught it and ate it.

"remember when charmcaster blasted me into this hallway?" palmer asked

"yeah after she tried to get us to leave the house by knocking us on our asses" replied johnny

"right when she was blasting me down this hall I saw something while running down these halls avoiding her attacks"

"which was?" asked ryan

"this" palmer said pointing to a large set of doors made of metal of somekind with two dragons carved into it"

"what is it?" asked jack

"there doors jack try to keep up" palmer said as the others laugh.

"so what do you think is inside?" asked marki

"I don't know lets ask charmcaster" palmer said causing everyone to look at him in confusion

"charmcaster?, how?" johnny asked

"what do you mean how she been here the whole time" palmer said causing everyone to look around "you can come out now I know your there" he said as a cloud of smoke appear infront of him and out of it comes charmcaster.

"how did you know?" she asked

"I can smell you perfume and you are wearing too much"

"so are you here to attack us again?" hawkeye asked while he and johnny and ed point guns at her

"no not this time and I recall someone say I could come by anytime right?"

"thats right, so why don't you tell us whats behind this door" palmer said signaling the others to lower their weapons.

"so tell us whats behind this door?"

"its the vault"

"awww bingo, jackpot" palmer said as he and his family try to pry the doors open while charmcaster and willie look on "why won't these doors open?"

"maybe it'll open to this?" marki said holding a wad of exploding putty

"hey thats mine" palmer said taking it and putting on the door then backing away then detonates the putty. When the smoke clear the door is undamaged "oh come on"

"can I finish?, or are you going to try something else that won't work?" she asked as palmer holds up a rocket launcher.

"yes please continue" he said putting away the rocket

"thank you, the door can only be opened with the staff of ages which without theres no way in"

"ok first tell us that before we try that and second where is the staff?"

"it should be somewhere in the house hex kept it with him all the time"

"with him all the time...wait I think I know" palmer said snapping his fingers causing chomps to hop to him. After palmer reaches into his mouth and pulls out the cane willie gave him "willie is this what I think it is?"

"aye that be the staff"

"you gave him the staff, why willie?"

"it was the professors order"

"unbelieveable" she said "not only does he give you the library but the staff too, what else did he give you the alpha rune?" she said

"ok one calm down and take a breath and two what the hell is the alpha rune? and third thank you for your help now lets open this door" palmer said patting her on the back then walks towards the door then looks back at charmcaster "i'm sorry but how do I do that?"

"really, god your hopeless" she said walking up to him and taking his hand with the cane and tapping the door making it glow then slowly open. Once fully open they all walk in to see the walls decorated with books and weapons of old, trinkets on podiums and old artifacts in glass cases.

"look at all this crap" johnny said

"this isn't crap this stuff is worth millions on the market" charmcaster said

"great lets sell this and roll in the green" hawkeye said ready to smash a glass case to get the content until charmcaster stops him by lifting him the air and tossing him towards palmer, johnny and ed. Seeing this coming palmer jumps out of the way while he crashes into the others.

"you are not touching this!" she said making her hands glow ready to fight them until palmer puts one hand in the air.

"relax we're not, cause thats our target" he said pointing to something behind her making everyone look up to see a giant vault door. Walking up to the door palmer taps it with the staff causing it to open, backing away to watch it open with the others. Once finish they walk inside to find a large room filled to the brim with gold and money. Seeing this everyone is speechless until palmer speaks "Das ist die Scheiße (this is the shits)" palmer spoke in german making charmcaster look at him.

"you speak german?"

"Ich komme zurecht (I get by) and this is beatiful, look at all this money"

"this is more then enough to get us out of any trouble" hawkeye said when ed fell over and past out.

"I feel the same way ed" johnny said not looking at ed

"you think this takes care of the money issue?" ryan asked palmer

"oooh yeah" palmer replied before heading down to get a closer look. Once down there they begin to grab and inspect the treasure seeing the piles of it all over the room.

"so what do you think?" ryan asked sitting on a hill of gold coin with a crown in his head.

"well the cash should be easy but we'll need to find a way to cash the gold and jewels" palmer replied

"how do we do that?" marki asked poping out of a pile with jack and molly.

"I'll have to call someone we know who can do it for us in secret but we should be more than fine" palmer said before his ears perked up hearing something near by then spot a pile of gold shifting. Walking towards it everyone takes notice and watch him move closer to the pile.

"what is it?" johnny asked

"shhhhh" replied palmer walking closer to the pile hearing the sound of a low growl. Suddenly a large object shoots out of the pile and colides with palmer knocking him away landing infront of charmcaster. After, a large creature jumps out the pile revealing itself to be a spider-like monster with five large legs and two small arms looking to be made of wood and stone.

"what the fuck is that?" hawkeye said as ed charges at the creature only for it to jump dodging him and attempting to land on top of him but he jumps back at the last second regrouping with johnny and hawkeye who hands him a gun. Slowly waking up to the sound of gun fire palmer looks up to see a smirking charmcast looking at him.

"let me guess you knew this thing was in here and wanted to see if it could kill us right?" palmer asked in a deadpan tone getting back to his feet.

"kinda, I knew something was guarding the vault I just didn't know what" she said watching johnny and the others fight off the creature.

"so do you know what that is?"

"nope, never seen it before in my life" she replied "hex is the only one allowed in here"

"so if hex is the only one allowed then maybe" palmer said deep in thought tilting his head to avoid a flying hawkeye heading towards him, looking back he see hawkeye getting back up reloading his gun and running past him.

"what are you doing?"

"thinking what else?" palmer replied

"we could really use your help here" hawkeye said pointing to the creature shooting some kind of venom at johnny and ed while ryan and the kids took cover behind a pile of gold.

"ok tell the others to stand back, I want to try something" palmer said taking out the staff. Hawkeye lets out a whistle alerting the other who look at him as he signals for them to fall back seeing the signal johnny and ed grab the others and move away from the creature. Once back to palmer they move to the side as palmer and the creature have a stare down, palmer runs towards the creature as its shoots venom at him moving to the side avoiding them, until one comes directly infront of him unable to move to the side palmer jumps over it landing infront of the creature. Looking up palmer can see the creature ready to bite down on his head, but before it can palmer takes the staff and taps the creature on the snout. Coming out of cover ryan and the others look to see what has happend and find the creature kneeling down to palmer while he rubbs its head.

"what the hell?" johnny asked looking at this

"how did you do that?" charmcaster asked schocked like the others

"I just showed him we're not intruders and he calmed down" palmer answer as they can up to him.

"its a boy?" ryan asked

"yep"

"how did you get him to stop?" asked johnny

"I just tapped the staff on him and it showed him we're friendly"

"so what its now our friend?" asked hawkeye\par

"yep"

"what is it?" asked ed

"don't know?, willie?" palmer asked looking at willie

"don't look at me this is the first time seeing this thing, hex was the only one who came in here" replied willie

"how did you know that would work?" ryan asked

"I didn't, but after what charmcaster told me that hex was the only one who comes in here, he must have something that allows him to not get attacked by oak fang" palmer replied

"oak fang?" ryan said

"yeah thats what I'm calling him, cause he looks like a tree with teeth and he is as tough as an oak" palmer replied

"he has to be taken that many bullets" johnny said

"so you thought that it might have something to do with the staff?" asked hawkeye

"yeah, I guess it showed him we're the new owners of the house and that got him to stop"

"so what now?" asked ed

"alright now thats over with grab some of the money and lets go, I need to handle something else" palmer said as everyone grab as much money as possible while charmcaster watched. Just then palmer walks up to her, seeing this she wonders what he going to do and is surprised when he hands her a stack of cash.

"whats this?" she asked

"its money, partly for helping out today" he replied

"what why, I brought you all in here to try and kill you, knowing that there was something in here and you just hand me money"

"yeah because if you didn't help us earlier than we would still be trying to blow the door open and probably destroyed half the house in the process" palmer said "so thank you again" he added which made her confused about his ways. After collecting the money they all exit the vault when tina notice oak fang following them.

"should he be leaving the vault?" she asked

"yeah we're not going to keep him locked up in there so he coming with us" palmer replied

"are you sure?" asked gaige

"yeah it'll be fine and look he doesn't want to be locked up in there by himself anymore" palmer said gesturing to him making the others agree then continue to the living room when charmcaster stop in her tracks. When she does this everyone turns to look at her "whats up?"

"I came here because I wanted you people out of my house but the plan I had seems to have grown attached to you all so now i'm leaving to find another way of getting you all out of here" she said about to disappear when palmer stops her.

"hold up" palmer said before running with monster speed then came back with a container of food "here for you on the go" he said handing her the food.

"you are so weird" she said before disappearing while the others watch

"well it nice to know she isn't all bad" ryan said

"aye it was good to see her safe and sound" willie said

"so what was the other thing you needed to do?" hawkeye asked

"I need to go see a friend we met in town about somethings then deal with school in the morning" palmer replied.

"a friend?" johnny said raising an eyebrow

"yeah we met him when we went to check out the town" palmer replied "his names ron and I should call him about what I found at monster high" palmer said putting his hand in the air as a small screen pop up with a list of names then stops when he finds ron's name and taps on it, putting a little head piece in his ear palmer begins to have a conversation while the others looked on.

"so what can you guys tell us about this ron guy?" hawkeye asked

"he nice a bit off though" molly replied

"off like how?"

"he says theres alot of weird things going on in this town including at monster high" jack said

"so this guy is looking to find the truth?" johnny said

"yeah and palmer and us are helping him uncover it cause it sounds like fun" marki added

"ok ron thanks i'll be there see ya" palmer said hanging up and turning towards the others "alright I gotta go met ron at the lighthouse be back" palmer said about to walk out when johnny walks infront of him.

"whoa hold on we're coming with you" he said

"why?" palmer asked

"cause I want to meet this guy and know all about what he knows about this town and i'm not so sure about this guy" johnny replied "you remember the last mystery nut you ran into right"

"good point but ron doesn't look like a threat to anyone but his sister's reputation" palmer said

"even so we're still coming" hawkeye added

"see town make big boom" ed said holding a round bomb that was activated. Palmer seeing this grabs it puts it in the rocket launcher and shoots it out the window landing far away then explodes.

"ok lets go before you decide to try anything" palmer said leading them to the car and leaving for the normie side of town. Once in town they pass a large crowd looking at an exploded parking lot, seeing it palmer just keeps driving avoiding eye contact with the scene.

"hey isn't that where the bomb landed?" asked johnny

"don't make eye contact, just keep driving" palmer said speeding up a bit to get away from the area before someone sees him. Now far away from the scene palmer and them are driving along looking for the adress given to them by ron.

"yo you think we seen this light house by now huh?" johnny said

"I know where is it?" said hawkeye

"he said it was in this direction" palmer said looking around for it\par

"look lighthouse" said ed making the others look to see the top of a lighthouse in the distance.

"there it is thanks ed" palmer said driving up to it. Upon a closer look they see it is not actually a lighthouse but a broken down drive-in movie with one large screen. Parking the car and getting out palmer and the others look up at a worn out sign "the lighthouse, its a drive-in?"

"looks like it" hawkeye said as they walked inside looking around seeing a broken down snack stand and the remains of broken cars in the lot, the lighthouse was old with paint thats fading. While they were looking around a loud crash is heard coming from the snack stand making them look in defense with guns pointing towards the stand. Palmer slowly makes his way there with the others watching his back, once close he sees ron on the floor then signals the others to hide the guns as he jumps over the counter to help him up.

"ron you alright man?, what happend?" palmer asked helping him on his feet

"palmer dude you made it, I heard someone coming and ran out to see who when I tripped over a mop and well you saw" ron answer looking at the new faces "hey who are they?"

"these are my cousin johnny, hawkeye and ed" palmer said pointing to each one "there staying with my family and me due to some problems"

"nice to meet you i'm ron and welcome to the lighthouse" ron said walking up to them.

"sup" said johnny

"hey" said hawkeye

"hi" said ed

"so this is the lighthouse huh?" hawkeye said looking around "I thought it be an actual lighthouse"

"oh it was but it was turned into a drive-in a long time ago" ron answer

"doesn't look like its been used in a long time" johnny said

"it was closed down long time ago due to lack of buisness and abandon here"

"so why are you here then?" palmer asked

"oh cause my parents bought this places and let me use it as a hangout" ron answer

"your parents bought you this place just to use as a hangout?" asked hawkeye

"they think if I had my own hangout I get more friends"

"ah that makes sense now" palmer said

"I use this place as my hq for all my work on trying to figure out the secrets of this town, come on i'll show you" ron said leading them to the lighthouse and up a sprial staircase. Reaching the top palmer looks to find the place is full of papers a giant light in the center and a projector facing out a window. Over to the side is a board with different pictures of places and people in town all connected by strings.

"you sure have some theories here ron" palmer said looking at it all then notice the picture of him and his family standing infront of a large fire "hey whats this?"

"you tell me cause I saw the whole thing" ron said looking at some papers shocking palmer "I also know your names not cooper" saying this makes palmer nervous.

"what makes you say that?" palmer asked trying to figure out what he knows

"I used my knowledge of computers to find cooper and came up with no results then I tried facial recognition and found one result and thats venture" ron said turning to face palmer and the others

"damn he good" hawkeye said

"so i'm right you are palmer venture, the palmer venture?"

"yeah i'm palmer venture and my name ain't cooper" palmer said as ron let out a cry of joy

"I can't believe it I was right about something and its you palmer venture" ron said getting in his face

"yeah ok calm down and take a few steps back man or I will knock you out" palmer said making him back off

"sorry but this is big, now I know you can help me find the truth"

"how is that?" palmer asked

"are you kidding, your palmer venture and thats johnny gat, hawkeye and psycho you four do whatever you want go anywhere and don't let anything stand in your way"

"ok settle down fanboy and wind it back, cause i'm kinda lost here" hawkeye said

"sorry, I have been looking into this towns secrets finding clues in places and in people including the other side of town but i'm unable to get very far what with this town, my sister and my reputation getting in the way" ron said "but now you guys are here and you can help me uncover the truth" he added

"so you need us cause we don't give a shit about anything and do whatever we want?" palmer said

"yeah so what do you say?" ron asked as palmer walks over to the board looking at the pictures before turning facing the other giving them a smirk.

"this sounds like fun" he said making the others smirk and ron with a huge grin

"so your in thats great" he said

"yeah but I need you to keep it a secret about who I really am between just us" palmer said

"why?"

"cause I got a whole lot of people hunting for my blood and need to lay low for awhile got it?" palmer asked as ron nodds "good now about what you asked me to do at my school"

"oh yeah what did you find?"

"I found that it isn't like other schools for one thing"

"really how so?"

"its a school for monsters that so"

"so now you know"

"what?"

"you now see the school known as monster high a school for monsters" ron said

"wait you already knew it was a school of monster then why did you make me take pictures?" palmer asked

"I first needed to see how you would react to seeing the school then see if you could help me or not after"

"so you needed to see if I could handle things like monsters and mysterys?" palmer asked

"yeah and now I have my answer"

"so what now then?"

"now we can go and do things I couldn't have been able to do on my own like going to the other side of town and finding out what is hidden there"

"sounds like fun" palmer said

"oh it will be and possibly dangerous"

"like I said fun"

"and maybe we can go beyond new salem to uncover other things I've been working on" ron said pulling out another board with more pictures "things like cropcircles, lost cities and even the vamwolf" he said catching the others attention with that last one.

"the vamwolf?" palmer asked sounding confused

"yeah you haven't heard about a large wolf-like creature with the wings of a bat seen around the world causing trouble, its on so many chatrooms about this creature that its famous like bigfoot"

"no I don't get on the internet that much to look at these things" palmer said looking at a blurry picture of a large beast and recognize it as the vamwolf. Looking away from the picture palmer see another picture of a man he recognize from somewhere. "hey who this?" palmer said pointing at the picture.

"oh thats alexander dugone the fifth the mayor of new salem" ron answered

"oh yeah al's father the mayor I didn't know that" palmer said looking at the picture "he looks like the statue"

"yeah weird isn't?"

"for some reason they all do"

"they?"

"yeah as far as this town goes back all the males of the dugone family look alike" ron said taking out an old book opening it up to show pictures of the dugone family.

"your right they do" palmer said seeing the pictures

"yeah and I believe theres something going on with them and this town"

"just one more thing to look into right?" palmer said

"exactly" ron replied

"so now that over we should head home and get ready for the days to come" palmer said leading his cousins down the stairs. Once outside palmer and the others are seen talking infront of the car.

"ok so we'll see you around ron we need to get back to get ready for school and anything else that comes our way"

"ok see you guys, i'll call you about anything that comes up and don't worry your secrets safe with me"

"thanks man see ya" palmer said before entering the car and driving off

"you know I had my doubts about this guy but he seems alright" hawkeye said

"yeah well we should be careful about how much he knows for now" palmer said

"why you say that?" ed asked

"he figure out who I am and that is impressive since most of the crap we do gets coverd up" palmer said

"still he can't be a threat to us can he?" johnny asked

"not him but there are others who may find out what he knows and use it to find us"

"ok so we'll have to be careful when letting things get out" hawkeye said

"right since the more he know the more fun it gets for us" palmer said "cause when the time comes the whole world will know whats going on"

"great now what?"

"we go home and get ready for tomorrow cause I still have alot to do at school" palmer said

"you mean with those girls and what happen to you?" johnny asked checking his gun.

"yep, ugh this is going to be a pain" palmer driving up the road.

ELSEWHERE:

In the house of dracula draculaura and sibella were in the living room with their parent talking about what happend at school and the party.

"then right before the creature got near out pops this huge guy in a gas mask smashing the scargoyle til it turned to smoke" said dracualura

"yeah then we found out that it was palmer's cousin who was following heath around just to return his wallet" sibella said

"that must have been something seeing all that happen and then meeting some of palmer's family" said vanna

"yes great but lets get back to the topic at hand is he who you thought he was or not?" drac asked

"well it turns out he actually is adrian palmer venture and he remembers us" sibella said then see a shock expression on his face "dad are you alright?" she asked as he gets on feet raising his fist to the air then yells.

"VENTURE!" said drac

With Frankie:

around the same time frankie and elsa as telling the same story with there dad hearing the same thing finding out thats its the same guy gets up and yells.

"VENTURE!" said frank

Back with palmer:

Back with palmer after parking the car and making their way into the house palmer stops and looks back as his cousin take notice.

"what with you?" asked hawkeye

"I don't know just thought I heard someone callout my name just now" palmer replied. After a few seconds of listen to nothing they turn to him.

"I don't hear anything" johnny said

"probably just the wind then" palmer said heading inside

With frankie:

"your sure its him?" frank asked calming down

"yes its him, he remembers grimwoods and everything" elsa said seeing her father about to get mad again

"now frank you need to put this all behind you I mean he just a kid" elle said calming him down.

"I know but just the thought of him going to school with my daugthers just grinds my bolts" he said

"well you should forget it and be happy for your daughter that an old friend is here and besides he not so bad" elle said

"your right maybe i'm just to caught up in the past to forget" frank said "i'm sorry girls i'm happy for you"

"thanks dad" elsa said

"yeah thanks dad" frankie

"great now lets go enjoy dinner" elle said heading towards the kitchen

"dad why were you so made at palmer?" frankie asked

"oh well I met palmer in a race and he cheated to win"

"frank he couldn't have cheated cause there were no rules remember"

"you and palmer raced once?" frankie asked

"yeah at the monster road rally and he beat us"

"wow so palmer was in that race huh?"

"yep dracula needed a werewolf when your friend winnie's father decided to retire early so he looked for the best human driver to turn into a werewolf for the race and found your friend palmer" frank said

"yeah and after a bunch of things he won and left real quick with that trophy after mopping the floor with everyother monster in that race even dracula" elle said sticking her head out

"yeah that too" frank said heading to go eat

"wow there something to talk to palmer about when we see him tomorrow right?" frankie asked while elsa nodded before heading to go eat.

With draculaura:

After yelling out in anger drac finally calms down and looks towards his family.

"so it really is him adrian palmer venture" drac said with venom in his words

"yes father and he remembers us and grimwoods" sibella said

"of all the normies in the world it had to be those ventures" drac said

"oh drac you need to let what happen at the monster rally go" vanna said putting a hand on her husband.

"what happen at the monster rally?" asked draculaura

"your friend palmer was a driver at the rally and won beating all the others monsters there and taking the trophy and a spell book before running off" vanna said

"yes and then he leaves me in the ocean with a shark while he and his family disappear from the world, until now" drac said

"why did he take a book?" asked sibella

"oh that your father accidently turned his father into a werewolf and promised him that if he wins the race he would turn him back into a normie" answered vanna causing the girls to look at their father with disbelief.

"oh daddy" said sibella

"what I needed a werewolf driver and I thought a driver from the normie would be a good idea and faster than looking for another werewolf" drac defended

"well thats something to talk to palmer about tomorrow" draculaura said

"right you are sister we'll have a talk with palmer about this and see what he says" sibella said

"great thats that then now lets go have dinner after all this talk about old faces" vanna said leading the others to the dinning hall.

With cleo:

in the home of the de nile family we see cleo and her family sitting at a table talking and having dinner.

"so then out of nowhere appears this huge man in a gas mask with a mohawk, then he starts smashing away at the scargoyal till it turned to dust" cleo said

"so this ed is related to palmer?" asked ramses

"yes hes his cousin and talk about brutish" nefera said "I mean he comes out of nowhere dressed like a caveman smashing at everything and that palmer is no different hitting the guy knocking him on the ground"

"so is it him or not?" asked tanis

"yes tanis it seems to be the same palmer you meet at grimwoods" cleo said as tanis let out an excited squee.

"I knew it was him this is so awsome I can't believe its him" tanis said

"calm down tanis so what if its some normie from the past?" nefera said

"It matter to me, he was amazing and kind he saved me and my friends before and helped us win back at grimwood" tanis said

"now girls please, we're happy for you tanis aren't we girls?" ramses giving a stern look to cleo and nefera who nodded in agreement. "I have to say hearing all that this palmer has done makes me wonder how mighty he is for a normie"

"he is amazing taking on things bigger than him and not flinching or backing down and he moves like nothing you ever seen" tanis replied

"I would love to meet this palmer myself someday to see if thats true or not"

"really me too cause I don't believe any normie is that tough" nefera added

"well it the truth I seen it myself and so did the others and theres proof on the ghostly gossip, right cleo?" tanis said looking for help from cleo

"yes there is a video showing him fighting a golem, destroying it with a cannon" cleo said

"well now that is something who knew a normie could do that" he said

"I really happy thats its him, its like being back at grimwoods with all my friends and I can't wait to see him again" tanis said

"calm down tanis you'll have plenty of time to see him but give him time to settle in before you meet him again" said cleo

"awww but I want to see him and find out what happen to him after he left" cried tanis

"now tanis there will be time for that but for now we should let this palmer get settle in and become familiar with the town and such before you see him again" said ramses

"ok uncle" tanis said lowering her head

"don't worry tanis you'll have plenty of time to meet him soon" cleo said lifting her spirit as they went back to eating.

With spectra:

In the house we see spectra and her family in the living room relaxing while spectra is on her computer updating her blog while phantasma is bouncing off the walls in excitment.

"phanta you seem more energenic then usaul" said spectra's mom

"sorry auntie moana i'm just so happy after seeing an old friend of mine" replied phanta

"it must be nice to see palmer again like you did?" asked spectra looking up from her computer.

"it is he was a great friend and is a whole lot of fun back at grimwood and I can't wait to see how much he changed since then." she said

"so am I after seeing him and his cousins in action I too would like to know more about palmer and his family, it would make for a great story" replied spectra

"thats nice to hear, now how about we have dinner now and talks some more about this after" said moana leading everyone to the dinning hall.

With Clawdeen:

We find clawdeen and her family sitting in the living room while they talk about what happen at school to their parents and howleen who was listening to the whole story.

"then out of nowhere pops out this huge guy in a gas mask, who then tackles the scargoyal then starts pounding it till it was dust" said winnie

"wow thats some story, I wish I seen it that would have been awsome to watch" said howleen

"trust me little sister it was just as scary seeing that thing charge, then seeing a huge guy in a gas mask come out of nowhere like that" replied clawdeen

"yeah but we had nothing to worry about cause of palmer and his family there" said clawd

"thats right, so was it the palmer you were looking for or not?" asked feral

"yep its him and he remembers us too" answered winnie

"thats great, now tell me is he as cute in person as he is in the picture?" asked feral making winnie and clawdeen blush

"mom why would you ask that?" said clawdeen all flusterd

"what I saw the picture of the boy and how cute he was when he was younger and then I heard all that howling before and that this is some boy to get you girls all riled up like this" she said making thier blush intensify

"well he has changed alot so I think he looks tougher than back at grimwoods" said winnie

"what was he like at grimwood?" asked howleen

"he was kinda the same only a little nervous and cautious" answered winnie

"what do you mean?" asked clawdeen

"I mean like he was worry about something and look like he was hiding some from us which made him kinda clumsy"

"so what was it he was hiding?" asked clawd

"don't know he told us he wasn't but we knew better"

"so he is hiding something, just like I thought" said clawdeen said in deep thought "we're going to have to talk to palmer about this and find out cause this sounds pretty suspious to me" she added

"well this boy sounds like a real piece of work to get you riled up clawdeen" said an older looking male werewolf sitting next their mom

"you think so too clawson" asked feral

"after seeing the pictures you showed me I think this boy is fierce and hiding something big he doesn't want know" said clawson

"you really think so dad?" asked howleen

"yep and I think seeing your sister and cousin taking a liking to this boy proves that" he said making them yell out gibberish at him while they laugh "you best watch out howleen he might make you the same" he said making her join in the yelling as they pound on his chest to make him shut up. After a minute of this feral stands up to get their attention.

"ok ghouls thats enough establishing dominence lets go enjoy dinner before you all kill your father" she said making them stop the beating letting their father get up and head to the kitchen followed by the other. "so are you going to see him again or what?"

"we're going to talk to him tomorrow to find out what happen to him and get some answers" said winnie

"thats nice make sure to grab him fast before he gets taken away" feral making the girls blush as they made their way to dinner.

Back with palmer:

Returning to the house after talking with ron and avoiding the destroyed parking lot we find palmer and his family in the backyard that leads to the woods.

"okay I should be back later so everyone get some rest for tomorrow, cause I got a feeling we're going to have a strange day tomorrow" palmer said facing his family

"becareful not to get spotted to soon, we don't need the news on this sooner then expected" ryan said making everyone laugh

"yeah I'll try and tell him that, and prey he listens" palmer turning away from the others getting ready to run before getting stopped.

"I don't think he understand is the problem" said hawkeye "I mean he acts like a newborn dispite his size"

"maybe but I still got to try, see you all later" palmer said runnig into the wood while his family waves at him. After he disappears into the woods they look at eachother before ryan speaks.

"ok place your bets what will he eat tonight?" said ryan taking out a pen and notepad "I got my money on deer"

"great now everyone take out their money and put it here then wait for morning, after get to bed" ryan said as everyone does that placing the money on the table then heading for bed. Ryan being the last looks back at the woods with molly.

"you think he'll be alright?" asked molly

"of course he will, this is palme we're talking about" ryan said picking her up in his arms "and lets not forget the other guy, now come on time for bed" he said taking her upstairs as the sounds of a howl is heard coming from the woods.
