Meanwhile…
In the land of Evilopolis, the early noon sun was dim as usual as it shone towards the castle of Horror, where the Hexes Family lived and ruled over the land. The rulers were partly vampires so the place was quiet at noon since most of the residents were sleeping until…
BANG! BANG! BANG!
"Shadow! Wake up!"
Shadow Hex groaned at the sound of his older twin brother's voice.
'Ugh…' he pinned his ears to block the noise and shut his eyes, trying to sleep again.
Suddenly, the door burst open and in came his older twin brother Mephiles Hex.
"Shadow, WAKE UP!" he yelled.
Shadow groaned again and open his eyes then he unwrapped himself from his bedtime cape and jumped down from the ceiling, landing on his bare feet as he wore his pajamas (since they're part vampires, they sleep upside down on the ceiling. Lol).
"What do you want from me, Mephiles?" he growled, folding his arms.
"I know you're tired, Shadow," Mephiles replied. "I am too. See, I'm still in my pajamas and bedtime cape too but father wants to see us,"
"This early?"
"Yes, Shadow. This early."
Shadow rubbed his eyes and yawned. "Fine, fine. Put on your suit and I'll put on mine then let's go to father, alright?"
"Deal." Mephiles nodded then he sped back to his room to change.
Shadow sighed in relief then he stretched as he made his way to his closet. He grabbed and placed on his dark grey, long-sleeved shirt, autumn green vest, blue jeans, black belt, and red vampire cape then he walked out of his bedroom, shutting the door as Mephiles came out of his room with his vampire suit.
"Let's go, Shadow." the older one motioned his younger twin brother over then they walked through the castle halls.
Finally, they made it to the throne room, where their eldest brother Lancelot Hex and their little brother Eclipse Hex were standing in front of the throne, where their father Doom Hex sat down as he stared at his children with cold, blood red eyes.
"Good that you two are here," Lancelot said with a nod. "Father has been waiting for the two of you to show up."
"It took a while for Shadow to wake up from his slumber," Mephiles chuckled.
"It's early noon." Shadow growled. "What do you guys expect from me? To be awake during OUR bedtime?"
"ENOUGH!" Doom slammed his fist onto the throne, catching the attention of his four sons, who all turned to look at him with shock and fear. "I HAVE CALLED YOU FOUR HERE FOR A GOOD REASON! NOT TO FIGHT EACH OTHER! IS THAT CLEAR?!"
"Yes, father." the four immediately bowed their heads.
"Good." Doom huffed, standing up from the throne. "Now, to start things off, I would like to tell you four that I have completed the spell to finally take down those goody-two-shoes monsters once and for all!"
"How, father?" Eclipse hesitantly asked, taking it slowly because he knew their father's temper.
"By creating a barrier spell that's powerful enough to keep good monsters from our land but soft enough to let us evil monsters go through theirs." Doom grinned evilly. "So, here's the plan; I want the four of you to guard parts of our land. Lancelot, I want you to take the northeast part and Mephiles, you take the northwest. Shadow and Eclipse, you take the most important parts; the ones near the barrier."
"What do you mean, father?" Shadow folded his arms and raised an eye brow.
"Well, Shadow, I mean I want YOU to guard the southwest part of the land and Eclipse, you are to guard the southeast. They are the ones near the barrier so you two will have a chance to grab whoever goes near the border and take them to me."
"So, father," Lancelot repeated their father's words. "you're telling us that this barrier spell you casted allows us evil monsters to go to Goodville but prevents the good monsters from getting Evilopolis yet we can force them in our land as long as we are with them?"
"Correct." Doom nodded. "So I will be able to threaten our enemy King Charles Magic of Goodville and his family and I will be able to force him to surrender! Mwuhahahahaha!"
The brothers stared at their father and nodded in understanding then they headed out of the throne room.
"Alright," Lancelot spoke to his brothers solemnly. "Let's get out of here before father thinks we won't do our job. Shadow, even if you're guarding your part of Evilopolis, keep an eye on Eclipse. And Mephiles, I'm keeping an eye on you for safety measures, understood?"
Mephiles grumbled. "Yes, big brother."
"Understood." Shadow grumbled too before he grabbed Eclipse and sped out. 'This is going to be a LONG day…'
