James walked into the training room to see Alex training Grinch, Axl, Izzy, Groopert, and Ozzy, walking away from them in frustration.
"How's it going?" James asked.
"Chaotic." Alex said. "Barely made any progress."
"Did you try my maneuvers?" James said before walking out to them.
"Ok we'll start with Izzy. Izzy, what I want you to do is to focus purely on what someone is thinking, and focus on that only. Ozzy, the powers of the soul stone are things like containing souls and healing others, so for healing, think of something that reminds you of life, and try to contain the souls like a Ghostbuster. Axl, imagine that you're using the amount of power you have. Grinch, imagine something you want to see, and it'll appear when you want it to. And Groopert, if you are curious on how something looked or looks in the future, just pull your hand out. Example, *pulls out banana* imagine what this fresh banana will look like in the future." James said before throwing it in the air.
Groopert pulled his hand out and the banana turned pure brown.
"What the!"
Everyone turned to see Cindy, with her jaw dropped.
The brown banana fell to the ground. "Hi." Grinch said.
...
"So it just happened?" Cindy asked her friends.
"Apparently." Groopert said.
"So, you guys have one stone each, but I still have one." Cindy said before pushing out her hand and a blue aura pushed a soda can away. "How did this come up again in James words?" Cindy said.
"Well he said that something snapped inside of you, causing the powers of the stones to somehow come back." Izzy said recalling what James said.
"Is he working on how to fix it?" Cindy asked.
"Yes." Ozzy said.
"Ok. Good." Cindy said before Ozzy, Izzy, and Axl walked off. But Groopert stayed put.
"Aren't you going to leave?" Cindy asked.
"No. Don't blame yourself for this. You couldn't control it, I think. Also, this is kinda cool." Groopert said before letting his hand out, making the soda go back in it's spot.
"Just wait for it." Cindy said before walking out. "Wait for what?" Groopert asked his friend.
"You'll see." Cindy said.
...
Vlad was taking a seat on James's couch when he was thinking about that aura that flew by the team when they were at the fortress.
Dracula walked to his father. "Hey dad, everything okay?" Dracula asked.
Vlad looked to Dracula, he was clearly having something on his mind. "Yeah, just thinking about the crystal." Vlad said.
"What about it?"
"Well, there's something about the look of the crystal when I saw it via the hologram that made me feel like, it was speaking to me. Like it had the same form of magic as the type I use."
"While you're right dad, it could all be just a coincidence. After all, you lost the crystal all that time ago whe-" Dracula went to say before Vlad cutted him off.
"I know I know when my wife died by humans, you don't have to mention that part." Vlad said.
"But it's the truth." Dracula said.
"Whatever, the point is that that aura can be literally anywhere right now!" Vlad stated to Dracula.
...
David opened his eyes slowly, discovering he was tied up by a chain on a pillar.
He then realized his surroundings; he looked like he was in hell, litterally.
"David!"
David turned to see Adam, tied up by a pillar next to him. "Adam! What happened?!" David yelled.
"I don't know! I woke up hearing Silena screamed, I checked on her, and she suddenly knocked me out." Adam said.
"Wait? Where's Silena?" David said, both of them trying to find her.
"Right here."
They both turned to see Silena, with her eyes bloodred. "Welcome to Hell boys, make yourself at home." Silena said.
"Silena, is everything ok?" Her father asked before Silena got close to her.
"OK! *laughs manically* I feel Amazing!" Silena yelled.
"You're not Silena, who are you?!" Adam yelled.
Silena looked at Adam and smiled. "My name, is Justina Dracula." She said smirking.
"What!" David yelled.
"Yep." Justina said.
"What have you done to my wife!" Adam yelled.
"Oh I didn't do this, blame this guy." She said before making a live feed of James appear, who's wearing headphones.
James: Something bad is happening
Something very bad is happening.
Something stinks, something immoral
Something so bad that words have lost their meaning!
Everyone looked at it funny. "Who's that?" David asked.
"James Michael." Justina said.
David and Adam looked at it in confused shock. "Bu-but that's not possible, h-he's dead." David said stuttering.
"Oh he didn't." Justina said.
"He died in a car crash with his brother and my wife." David said.
"The crash did happen, but they were rescued by this thing by Kala." Justina said.
"What?" Adam said.
"Alright get comfy people, I have a story for you." Justina said throwing burnt popcorn at their face.
...
Alex walked through the house, minding his own business.
Then, he heard a whisper.
He looked around to see nothing.
He heard the whisper again.
He looked behind him. Nothing.
He turned back around to see a black masked figure, wearing a hat, holding a spear with kryptonite on the tip, wearing all black.
Alex screamed and fell down, but then, the man vanished.
He got up and looked around the place, there was no one there but himself.
Alex sighed and sped walked out.
James walked down to his lab and grabbed the dark crystal to place it on a standee.
James pulled out a notepad and a pencil as someone walked down. "How you doing?" The person asked, who had a female voice.
"Doing fine." James said turning to the figure, revealing to be Kara.
"No I mean what are you doing with the crystal?" Kara asked.
"Oh, just studying it." James said.
"Really?" Kara asked.
"Yeah, if we have it, we might as well discover what it can do." James said.
"Ok." She said. "Where do think the aura went?" She asked taking a seat next to James.
"Not sure yet, maybe some Dracula Family related area, a cave, a castle, that would be cool to go to, a cemetery, really anywhere where you think a vampire could be." James said looking at the crystal.
"Hm. Interesting." Kara said.
"Yeah tell me about it." James said before realizing another question. "Wait why are you here?" He asked
"Helping." She said before getting up and walking out.
...
"What?" Adam asked.
"Yep. That's what happened." Justina said.
"But, how does he remember that night differently, and how come you know about all this?" David asked.
"Well, I know about it because when he touched me, I saw his past, present, and future." Justina said.
"What's his future?" David asked.
"Eh, I don't want to ruin the surprise." Justina smiled. "And for the other question, let's just say mama put a little something extra in his juice to make him forget what happened that night."
"Wait, where's my daughter?!" Adam yelled.
"Oh that little rascal, yeah she's over there *points to a small carriage behind the three of them* yeah she's been sleeping this whole time." Justina said.
David turned to Justina. "What do you want from us?" David asked.
"Simple, to return the favor to James. After all, he freed me from my capture." Justina said.
"What type of favor are we talking about here? Family reunion?"
"You can say that." She said before a portal opened up and she jumped through it.
...
James got back up from the lab to see Dracula, Dennis, Johnny, and Clark putting party decorations around the house.
"What's going on here?" James asked.
"Don't you remember, you said we were having a party tonight." Johnny said.
"Oh yeah I did. Should probably get something fancy." James said.
...
Justina teleported into James's room and looked around it. She grabbed the stones from the bag, and she also grabbed a jewel off the shelf and she teleported away.
James entered his room again and grabbed a red buttoned collar shirt and black jeans and he walked into his shower.
Justina teleported back with his items. "What are those?" Adam asked.
"Nothing much. Just a few things." Justina said before walking over to Adam with the crystal.
"This is what they call Jewel Kryptonite. What it can do is mind control someone. And in this case, it's You!" Justina said before putting the crystal dangerously close to Adam.
Adam eyes suddenly go white, and his expression is blank.
"And for you Paps *grabs the bag with the stones* these are the infinity stones, you've most likely heard of it. But do you know of the mind stone, well, it's in the name." She said before she used it on David.
David's eyes went yellow as soon as she used it.
"Great. Now to put these stones back, expect mind, bet he won't notice the jewel missing." Justina said before she vanished.
She teleported back with the stones. She put the stones back where they were and vanished.
James went back into the room with the clothes he grabbed.
He looked at himself in the mirror, he thought he looked rather well, but what will someone else think?
James went outside to see Donna. "Hey Donna, do I look nice?" James asked.
Donna did the full sweep on James and came to a conclusion. "Maybe do something with your hair." Donna said.
James felt his hair. "I think it's fine." James said.
"Because it looks the same as it always does, cone it, put some gel in it, I don't know, just anything." Donna said.
"Alright, whatever." James said walking off.
And that was the newest chapter! the song James sung was called 'Something Bad Is Happening/More Racquetball' from the musical Falsettos
