And I'm back, man-sters and ghouls! All the way from the Underworld too, I might add!

I am simply blown away by how many reviews I received for a single chapter of this story. I can not express how excited I am that people are enjoying this, readers from my previous story and new ones alike. I can not say thank you enough times.

Menatron the Angel of Ideas – You are welcome.

StrongGuy159 – Ah, a different response, eh? I guess you aren't a robot!

Codecrash – No, I don't think Cupid will know who Ben is, because that Cupid is in a different dimension than this one is. Confusing, I know.

Bigby the Big Bad Wolf – Thank you for wonderful compliment! I will admit, that this will probably be tough to write, but I like a challenge. Plus, that's what I was going for; the ghouls are gonna show the girls how to live a little ;)

Royal Rebel – I did technically already do a poll back in my We're All Monsters story, but I wanted to do this again to see if things had changed since that one episode. I actually set up a poll on my profile, but since a lot of people responded to it in the reviews, I'll count those too.

Dragonsaurus – You have nothing to feel sorry about. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions, and I was merely making a joke (luciayshadow says to tell you that they're a girl, "a little, crazy, pervert gal", in their own words. As for the couples: AUGH! It wants to make me tear my hair out sometimes!

Titanzilla – I have NO intention of separating Hunter and Ashlynn; they're too cute together, and I never break up with canon couples. Also, the black smoke thing was a typo. Been meaning to fix that. And plus, Apple hasn't actually seen Ben yet.

Gojira – I'm glad you think so. It will be quite a while before he shows up, but he will show up. As for Joker, I'll take him into consideration; I got a better look at him, and I like what I see.

Kaiju Fan – You should become a writer! I think you'd do great! As for your first question, here is a question for you: why does everyone fear Raven? That, my friend, is your answer. As for your second question, I set up an actual poll on my profile, but I will still count the votes made in the reviews.

Rexy – Right on, dude!

Ernest P Worrell – I thank you for your contribution to the votes. As for the deadline, the poll will probably be taken down in another week or so. Never really intended for a deadline.

masterart – Maddie will probably figure things out faster than the others if the Narrators aren't careful. As for Ben's ghoulfriends, they will appear at one point.

Subtle Approach – Now THAT is an ironic username, considering the review you gave me. I like it.

luciayshadow – As I said with Dragonsaurus, you have nothing to apologize for. It was intended as a joke, nothing more, and I get that tests can cause a lot of stress on people. Makes you wonder why they make schools in the first place, huh? As for Rook Shar, I don't think she'll appear any time soon, if at all. I really don't think she'll drop in on the Ever After characters any time soon either, but I think Rook will play a bigger part in this.

StrikeLord – I intend to. NEVER SURRENDER!

Redrangerlegacy – Yep. I fully intend to united girls and ghouls. Oh, the chaos. It is most delic.

morganoth – Is that what I wrote? Sorry about that. Got kinda eager.

Da999 – Canon couples off limits! My number one rule! As for your suggestions, I will take them into consideration.

DracoAngel7 – Not unlike Ben and Frankie, eh?

Darkness Rissing – All the pairings, I like. I'll see what I can do.

Guest – Huh. Ben Bad Wolf. That does have a nice ring to it. As for the Storybook of Legends, that does have a major part to the story. And when the blue jay flies, the mice eat cheese.

IcySnowSage – If you're asking if Cupid's Crystal Ball and Once Upon a Tennyson, they are not.

Cloud4012 – You'll have to read on and see! I shall never reveal my secrets! NEVER!

Spurlinpatricksean2 – Yes, Ben and the ghouls are still together. I have no intention of breaking them up AT ALL.

Fanfic Fan – Maybe. But there's always a chance that I'll portray them wrong. I don't like to take chances like that (although when it comes to stories blending Ben 10 and Ever After High, I seem to be utterly fearless).

Erebor – You will have to wait and see, my friend. Wait and see.

kival737101 – That information is disclosed and private. Nothing escapes my lips!

Well, I think I've wasted enough of your time. As always, comment, review, suggest, and request down below!

Onwards!

"So, uh, what's Ever After High like?" Blitzwolfer asked Ashlynn as they hiked through the woods. "And are ya sure ya don't want a ride or something? I mean, considering you're a princess-" that was all the Loboan got to say before Ashlynn whirled around and grabbed by the fur of his hairy chin-chin, yanking his head all the way down to her level.

"Look, just because I'm a princess doesn't mean I'm not afraid to get down and dirty, got it?" she frowned and narrowed her eyes at Blitzwolfer; the Loboan quickly nodded his head, and Ashlynn released her grip on him before turning around to continue on her merry way.

"So, uh, you being a princess? Touchy subject?" Blitzwolfer asked, rubbing his chin.

"You could say that." Ashlynn sighed.

The Loboan scratched his chin with his good hand in thought. "Look, I'm no genius, but . . . is something bothering you?" he asked. "I know we just met and all, but I'd like to help in anyway I can."

The Loboan and princess were silent for a few more minutes, the only sounds between the both of them being the ocassional snort from Blitzwolfer when a stray butterfly landed on his nose. "It's just . . . my school is divided."

"In the literal or figurative sense?" Blitzwolfer asked.

"Figurative." Ashlynn replied. "Things were better than before, but everyone's chosen sides over this stupid little problems of ours."

"What's that?" Blitzwolfer asked as he tensed up and grabbed hold of Ashlynn's shoulder, effortlessly lifting her over a small creek that she had been too engrossed in her thoughts to notice; the princess let the gesture slide as she continued on.

"On their second year, every fairy tale will pledge to follow in their parent's footsteps and go through their fairy tale; in my case, I would be forced to work as my evil step-sister's servant before my fairy godmother appeared and gave me a makeover to go to my soon-to-be prince's ball." she explained with an almost bitter tone.

"You don't seem particularly happy about that." Blitzwolfer noted.

"No, I'm not really," Ashlynn sighed. "The reason our school is divided is because some of us believe we should follow the destinies laid out before us, no matter what they are, while others believe they should be free to write their own destinies; the ones that want to follow their destines are called Royals while the ones that want to write their own stories are called Rebels."

"Which side are you?" the Loboan asked curiously.

"Rebel, I guess." Ashlynn sighed. "At first, I was all for following my destiny, finding my Prince Charming, and living my happily ever after. But . . ." the princess trailed off.

"But what?"

"I didn't want any of that. Not after I met him." Ashlynn replied, a light blush coming to her face.

"Who are you-" Blitzwolfer started to ask before he was interrupted.

"Ashlynn!"

The two of them turned their heads to see a figure running towards them, stumbling over a tree root and nearly falling down onto his face before he regained his balance and continued running. He was a boy a couple inches taller than Ashlynn with a darker shade of skin than her and a pair of well muslced arms and legs that could be seen under his forest green shirt, hunting jacket, and thick pants designed to take thorns and scratching branches without trouble. He had hazel eyes and brown hair, with one side of his head being shaved the rest of his hairing hanging over his ear; it reminded Blitzwolfer of Venus for the briefest of seconds before the boy skidded to a stop in front of them and paused to catch his breath.

"Hey, Hunter!" Ashlynn smiled, pulling her boyfriend into a tight hug.

"Hey, yourself, beautiful." Hunter grinned. "Enjoy your walk in the woods?"

Ashlynn nodded. She was about to say more when Hunter finally took notice of Blitzwolfer and did a quick double take, his eyes nearly popping out of his sockets when he caught sight of the razor sharp teeth inside of the Loboan's strong jaws, the wicked claws on the end of each muscled finger, hand, and arm, and the cold, green eyes that starred at Hunter with a hungry expression despite the fact he was trying to look friendly.

"Get back, Ashlynn! I shall protect you from this foul beast!" Hunter declared, grabbing hold of his shirt and tearing it off in one swift motion, exposing his strong, muscle chest as he clenched his hands into fists and made several punching motions as Blitzwolfer blinked.

"Is this guy for real?" he asked Ashlynn.

Ashlynn shrugged with a heavy blush on her face. "He sometimes does this when he thinks I'm in danger." she giggled slightly before returning her attention to her bare-chested boyfriend. "Hunter, this is my new friend, Blitzwolfer. He's the Son of the Big Bad Wolf." Ashlynn explained.

Hunter squinted his brow and glared at Blitzwolfer with suspiscion before speaking. "Are you by chance related to Professor Badwolf?" he asked.

"Uh . . ." Blitzwolfer trailed off; he had no idea who this Badwolf was, but if tone Hunter was talking was anything to give by, he was not someone the Loboan wanted to cross. Considering he was playing the part of the 'Son of the Big Bad Wolf' though, this was going to be difficult. "Yes. He's my . . . very, very distant uncle." he lied, hoping Hunter and, to a lesser extent, Ashlynn would buy it; Hunter cocked and eyebrow and stared at him for a few more seconds before slowly nodding.

"Fine." he said. "But I'm watching you." he warned.

Ashlynn rolled her eyes as she dug into her purse and pulled out an extra shirt for Hunter to wear. "C'mon, put your shirt back on; as much as I'd like to stare a little longer, the Headmaster will have a fit if we're not in classes on time." she said with a fading blush on her face as Hunter took the forest green shirt and slipped it back on before screaming and hopping wildly as he beat at his shirt.

"What's he doing?" Blitzwolfer wondered.

"Oh, that's right." Ashlynn remembered. "I lent my purse to a family of homeless mice. I guess they chose your extra shirt as a bed." she laughed as Hunter froze on the spot, four sleepy mice crawling out of his sleeve and dropping down into Ashlynn's hand where she sang them a quick lullaby and deposited them back in her purse with a smile.

"Is this normal for you? The whole animal thing?" Blitzwolfer asked.

Ashlynn shrugged. "All fairy tale princesses have a connection with the woodland creatures; I just happen to be the only one that can talk to them."

Blitzwolfer grinned a wolfish smile; Ashlynn instantly reminded him of Jane. Should the two have them have ever met, one would have thought they were life long friends, maybe even sisters. Then again, Jane was purple and raised in the jungle while Ashlynn was fair skinned and raised in a palace, among other things.

Hunter caught sight of his seemingly threatening smile. "What are you so happy about?" he frowned.

Blitzwolfer shrugged. "Your girlfriend just reminds me of someone."

"Like a latest meal or something?" Hunter cocked an eyebrow in a threatening manner.

"Is he always like this?" the Loboan sighed.

Ashlynn sighed as well. "No. He and Professor Badwolf just have some . . . rough history."

"If you say so." Blitzwolfer grumbled as he turned and started to move farther down the trail where the trees and vegatation were starting to thin out. Ashlynn followed on his heels, with Hunter watching his every move like a hawk; something about the large wolf didn't sit well with the Son of the Huntsman.


Blitzwolfer gulped nervously, drumming the claws of his good hand against the arm chair; the air was thick with silence, thick enough that he could have sliced it into ribbons with his sharp claws if he wanted to.

The Loboan had to admit, the school was rather impressive. It was a tall, large castle located at the top of a cliff overlooking a wide and beautiful valley beneath. Tall, white spires and towers seemed to hold up the sky itself, with everything done in bright, warm colors of red, pink, blue, and white, with some gold thrown in for good measure. The school was close to the Village of Book End, a small town he had to travel through in order to get to the castle affter leaving the Enchanted Forest that ringed the school and town.

Now, he was in a large and spacious office with deep, red carpetting and velvety curtains over the large windows that looked out upon the world of Ever After. He sat in a cushy chair in front of a pair of desks, one that was nearly blank and imaculate while the other was stacked with a few piles of papers and post-it notes; at the nearly empty desk was a thin, wiry man dressed in a maroon coat, orange vest, loose ascot, a pair of mismatched socks, glasses, and, surprisingly, a pair of sneakers. He had kind, green eyes,and sported wild, dark gray hair on his head and chin as he leaned back in his chair in an almost child-like manner. The other man however, seemed to be the complete opposite, with a blue coat, light blue vest, blue ascot, a pair of dress shoes, and a golden decoration with a red stone on it resting on his ascot. Unlike the other man, he was quite stout and had a thin mustahce on his lip as he hurriedly glanced over dozens of papers until the other man cleared his throat to catch his attention.

"What is it, Giles?" the man asked tiredly.

"We seem to have a new student, Milton." the man, Giles, replied.

"We do?" he cocked an eyebrow, having been too engrossed in his work to notice. "Oh, I see." he said upon seeing Blitzwolfer sitting in front of him; the stout man cleared his throat and seemed ready to launch himself into a long and incredibly boring welcome speech when Giles interrupted him.

"Perhaps we should just give him the short version, eh, brother?" Giles coughed.

Milton deflated slightly but agreed. "Mr. Wolf, I am sure you understand the purpose of our school, yes?"

Blitzwolfer nodded. "To teach the sons and daughters of fairy tales to follow in their parent's footsteps." he practically recited.

Milton nodded. "Yes, that is part of it. Has it ever occurred to you why we do this?" he asked.

"Well . . . no, actually." Blitzwolfer admitted.

"The reason, dear wolf, is because our survival depends on it. Should a story not be completed, it, and everyone within it, will cease to exist all together. If too many stories disappear, our world ceases to exist."

Blitzwolfer gulped; Ashlynn had failed to mention that.

Giles rolled his eyes. "Brother, we are not certain of that yet."

Milton huffed and sat back down in his seat, returning his attention to his work as Giles took over. "My name is Giles Grimm, and this is my brother, Milton Grimm. My brother insists that you refer to him by his last name and profession, but you need not use such formalities for me." he waved it off. "Now before we give you your class schedule, we are required to ask you some questions."

"Shoot." the Loboan shrugged; deep down though, he was terrified; not only had Ashlynn failed to mention that she and her friends were practically preventing the end of the world, but if he let anything slip, it could very well be the end of him. This world was heavily filled with magic, and none of his forms were well versed or prepared for magic of any kind. He gulped and tried to steel his nerves as Giles began to question him.

"How old are you?" Giles asked.

"Uh, eighteen." Blitzwolfer replied.

This seemed to startled Headmaster Grimm. "You have been the Son of the Big Bad Wolf for eighteen years and have never attended this school!?" he yelled.

Giles ignored his brother. "Considering your age and lack of education, we'll be placing you with the second years, Blitzwolfer." Giles said. "Now then, would you like someone to show you around, or do you think you can find your way on your own?"

"With this nose, I'll be able to find anything." the Loboan grinned, tapping his impressive sniffer.

"Very good." Giles nodded. "Final question. Though I suppose it isn't a question, really. More of a test." he said as he clapped his hands together; a flash of white light came from behind Blitzwolfer, and he turned around in his chair to see a ramshackle shack about the size of a large doghouse sitting in the office.

"How'd you do that?" the Loboan gaped.

"Magic." Giles simply replied. "Now then, we require a small test, I'm afraid. We wouldn't do this under normal circumstances, but we require a sort of evaluation of your skills as a possible, future villain."

"Alright." Blitzwolfer sighed as he got up from his chair and stretched a little before he turned around to face the derelict shed. "So I just huff and puff?" he asked.

"Yes. Simple as that." Giles nodded.

Blitzwolfer gave a shook shake of his fur, scratching himself under the chin as he contemplated; if he tried using simple breath to try and knock the shed down, he would be exposed for a fraud. If he used his special power, then suspicions would arise. But then again, if he didn't, he would be exposed faster than he could blink. With little choice left, he sucked in a deep breath until his lungs were full to bursting before letting out a loud howl as his muzzle separated into four, toothed flaps that amplified the sound into an ultrasonic sound that smashed into the shed like a freight train and obliterated it into splinters before barreling right through the remains into the wall behind the destroyed shed, annihilating the wall into plaster and stone.

"Well. I think we have our newest student." Giles blinked as he opened his desk drawer and pulled out a schedule and key. "Here is your class schedule and dorm key; you'll be rooming by yourself for the moment until more students arrive." he explained as he handed Blitzwolfer the piece of paper and metal key. "Now if you'll excuse me, I better call an architect before my brother blows a gasket."

Blitzwolfer took one look at the Headmaster and had to stifle chuckles when he caught sight of the look on his face, hastily leaving the office before he couldn't contain himself.

Once he was out in the hallway, he unfolded the piece of paper and glanced over his classes, noting that they shared a similarity with Monster High: most, if not all, of the classes were puns on what they actually taught. Blitzwolfer didn't know if it was just a thing with certain realms or if it was a coincidence or not. A sudden beeping caught his attention, and he glanced down at the collar around his neck to see the Omnitrix flashing a warning green.

"Voltage!" he cursed as he hurriedly looked around for a place he could hide and change in peace; he quickly found an empty janitor's closet and closed the door behind him just as the Omnitrix timed out in a burst of green light and returned Ben to the world.

"Whew." he sighed with relief. "What's up with you? You lasted for like, two days last time this happened." he scolded the Omnitrix as if it were actually listening to him. With a sigh, he cracked open the door of the janitor closet and slipped his schedule and key into his pocket; he turned to the Omnitrix and turned it on, cycling through the transformations until he came across the Loboan icon and slapped the activation button, engulfing him in a flash of green light. His skin began to crawl as it hardened and smoothed into something similar to an exoskeleton, yet not quite at the same time as it turned black as midnight with blue blotches with lighter centers appearing all over him. His fingers became sharper as they turned into claws while his toes ripped out of his shoes, melting into a pair of claws as his heel thrust out behind him, forming a third toe with a loud grinding sound. His teeth fused together into two plates that felt like they could bite through almost anything as his eyes widened and bugged out of his skull, flashy a spooky green as three darker dots appeared. Muscles piled themselves up on his chest and arms as his spine arched and forced him to hunch over; an itching sensation came from his back and head as four, large wings ripped out of his back with a sickening noise like that of wet flesh slapping against each other as a pair of antennae burst out of his head. The wings and antennae flapped for a few seconds before they wrapped around him like a cloak and hood; he could feel a sudden chilling sensation in his core, a feeling than through his veins and arteries that felt as cold as ice as the Omnitrix appeared around his waist on a green belt, completing the transformation.

"What the- this isn't what I asked for, Omnitrix!" Big Chill rasped angrily. "How am I supposed to blend in now!?" he growled before the floor around him sudden burst into a flash of purple light, forming a ring around him as it glowed brighter and brighter.

"Did I say the magic word or something?" the Necrofriggian wondered before the purple light swallowed him.


Raven sighed miserably as she sat in the back of the class, trying to look invisible; she had tried to find classes that didn't force her to do evil deeds for homework and assignments, but all the classes were either too full, got boring really fast, or downright rejected her upon her either signing up or even walking in through the door where she would then be promptly pushed out into the hallway and sent down to the library to organize the books or dust the shelves depending on what the terrified teacher would say.

Why was it so hard for people to grasp the fact that she didn't have en evil bone in her body, that she really was a good girl and not some wolf in sheep's clothing? They just couldn't simply get past the fact that she was related to the Evil Queen, the most terrifying and diabolical villain the world of Ever After had ever seen in all its days; Raven had never really been close to her mother for reasons she kept to herself, but it wasn't hard for her true friends, like Maddie and Cerise, to see why.

With a dejected sigh, Raven rested her head in the desk and returned her pencil back to her notebook, barely even paying attention to what Madame Yaga was teaching the class of rejects, future villains, and other monstrosities; she already knew more than half of the stuff by heart, thanks to what her mother-

Raven stopped right there. She wasn't going to think about the bane of her existence right now; with a calming breath, she returned her attention back to her notebook where she was carelessly doodling away whatever came into her mind to pass the time until the bell rang and she was able to go to the one class that she hadn't been discouraged from: Muse-ic. Ever since her father had given her a toy violin to practice and play on before giving her the real thing, Raven had loved music and had dreamed of growing up to become a pop star one day. But that was before-

Raven mentally slapped herself. There she was doing it again, always turning her thoughts back to her mother, the person that had ruined her life before she was even born. She forcefully pushed the thoughts out of her mind and concentrated harder on the notebook in front of her, trying to remember the details she had grasped onto when she had been awoken by Apple that previous morning; odd creatures of alien design decorated the borders of her page, everything from ones that bared striking resemblances to ghosts and vampires to others that looked like walking plants or gigantic insects. These were put in scarce detail, since she was concentrating most of her focus on the picture that took up the middle and majority of the page. In the center of the page was a carefully detailed sketch of Raven in the warm embrace of the boy from her dreams, her head nuzzled lovingly into his chest as he held her protectively, his chin resting on her head as his hand rested around her waist and head. Most of the mysterious boy was blank, her mind unable to comprehend what he could possibly look like; the only features she was able to fully make of him was the strange watch that was strapped to his wrist.

She was so engrossed in her drawing that she hardly heard Madame Yaga until she had slapped her ruler on the edge of Raven's desk while screaming her name; the notebook was promptly closed before the old hag could get a good look at it as Raven jolted up into her seat with rapt attention. "Yes, Madame Yaga?" she asked, her ivory skin flashing pink with embarrassment as several students snickered under their breath.

"Your assignment?" Madame Yaga prompted.

Raven bit her lip; she had totally forgotten about the assignment. "I've been given a lot of assignments lately, Madame Yaga. Could you be a bit more specific?" she asked, hoping the old hag would buy the lie.

Madame Yaga sighed. "The one where you were supposed to summon an evil creature for the class?" she reminded her; contrary to popular belief, she wasn't as gullible as people thought she was. The only reason she was playing along with Raven for the moment was because she was fully aware of how the young witchling had been treated in her early life.

"Right. That one." Raven nodded confidently, despite feeling like she was about to walk into the Village of Book End stark naked holding a neon sign that advertised she still sucked her thumb in her sleep; Raven had broken that habit before she had entered Nursery Rhyme School, but it didn't change the fact that she was incredibly embarrassed as she walked up to the front of the dungeon-like classroom, gulping nervously when she noticed all eyes were trained on her.

She sucked in a deep breath and calmed her jittery nerves, summoning the dark magic that coursed through her veins like a virus and felt the familiar tingling sensation at her fingertips, her hands glowing an ominous purple as she raised them above her head, quietly chanting incohert things under her breath as she tried to summon the most pathetic looking monster in the realm of Ever After; maybe if she did that, people would understand she wasn't evil and just leave her alone. She then felt a light sting as her power reached its peak and opened a small rift in the wall of reality to bring the creature she had summoned forth into the classroom in a flash of purple light.

She was breathing heavily as she let her arms drop to her sides, smoke curling from the floor in a ring where the monster she had summoned would be until she was ready to send it back to wherever it came back; the smoke began to fade away into thin air, revealing a roughly human-sized creature curled into a ball on the floor. The creature stirred after a few seconds and groaned, the sound coming out low and whispery as it climbed to its feet and looked at its surroundings; it mostly resembled a black human with blue spots wrapped up in a dark blue cloak and hood, save for the large, bug-like eyes, sharp claws for feet, and permafrown grin. Raven cocked an eyebrow at the creature when it suddenly gave an inhuman screech and lunged at her, the cloak surrounding its entire body unfolding into four pairs of huge, leathery wings and antennae that added to the creature's side.

"Where am I!?" the creature hissed in an angry tone. "Send me back!" he snarled, an icy vapor drifting out from his jaws as the cloak that surrounded him unfolded into four, large, leathery wings and antennae; the temperature seemed to drop by twenty degrees as the large creature narrowed its eyes at Raven.

"Very good, Ms. Queen!" Madame Yaga clapped as she quickly marked down something on a clipboard. "But, uh, what is it?"

"I don't know." Raven admitted as she raised her hands, her fingers already glowing an ominous purple. "But I think I better send it back. And quickly." The creature seemed to calm down upon his and lowered its wings slightly, relaxing as Raven raised her hands and cast them directly at the creature, enveloping it in a flash of purple light and sending it back to wherever it came from.

"Well then, Raven. Nicely done." Madame Yaga nodded. "You really are on your way to becoming the next Evil Queen." she smiled as Raven made her way back to her seat.

Raven, for once, ignored the comment. She was too busy reeling from what she had seen; fixed around the creature's waist was a green belt with a familiar symbol on its center.

The same one from her dream.


Big Chill sighed with relief as he reappeared back in the janitor's closet just as the Omnitrix timed out and turned him back into Ben in a flash of green light; his secret was still safe and he had managed to escape before he was exposed. Thankfully acting hostile and feral worked in his favor for once, saving him from being divulged and causing a mass panic. He didn't want a repeat of Monster High.

The bell rang loud and true, and Ben quickly glanced at his class schedule, noting happily that his next period was actually Brunch in the Castleteria; considering the students actually lived at the school, it made sense that their classes would run later than other schools, thus allowing them for more breaks than an average school did. He turned to the Omnitrix and cycled through the roster before selecting the Loboan icon again.

"If you turn me into Goop, you're dead meat." Ben threatened as he pressed the activation button with a finger instead of slapping it like he usually did, swallowing himself in a flash of green light and changing his DNA on the molecular scale into something new. He felt himself grow taller and much more muscled as thick, shaggy, gray colored fur sprouted all over his body as his back and chest swelled with muscle and tissue, his skeleton crunching and cracking as it was reinforced and changed to accommodate his new body. Ben's skull crunched and snapped in an almost painful manner as his face bulged forward into a pointed muzzle lined with sharp, canine teeth as a wet, black nose formed at the end; organs sloshed around inside of him as his bones crunched and ground heavily against each other while his muzzle split into four, flexible flaps. His fingers became longer and tipped with wicked claws that looked like they could easily slice through most objects as two, large talons ripped through his shoes while a third popped out from the back. A long, fluffy tail sprouted from the base of Ben's spine as a mane of dark, coarse fur rose from his shoulders and neck as spikes sprouted from his elbows and shoulders; a green and black body suit appeared on his shifting body with green wrist bands and a collar around his neck with the Omnitrix at its center, completing the transformation.

"Oh, thank goodness." Blitzwolfer sighed with relief as he pushed the janitor's closet open long enough to make sure no one was watching before he stepped out into the hallway and made his way down to the Castleteria, wincing at his pained paw; the Omnitrix had been successful in slowly repairing his hand to the point where he could successfully flex some of his fingers without pain. Another use, and the hand would be fully repaired by then.

The Castleteria was a large and spacious room with all manner of fairy tale sitting at one table or another, everything from a girl with a shepherd's staff and several sheep to a giant and small group of fairies, all of them had some sort of place in the lunchroom. Unsure of where to sit, the Loboan merely grabbed a fistful of bacon and a glass of orange juice before making his way towards a quiet table in the corner of the Castleteria and hoped no one would notice as he hungrily dug into his bacon.

"Hey, Blitzwolfer!"

The Loboan froze in midchew and looked up to see Ashlynn waving at him as she made her way across the Castleteria to him, a tray with a salad and bright red apple clutched tightly in her hand as she dragged Hunter along with her. "How's the day going so far?" she asked as she sat down at the table across from him.

"Good, considering this is my first class." Blitzwolfer chuckled as he licked his chops before he noticed the identical palettes of Ashlynn and Hunter. "You two on a couples diet or somethin'?"

Hunter shook his head. "We're vegetarians." he replied. "It's cruel and inhumane to eat animals for food."

"Uh, does that apply to me? 'Cause that's pretty much all I can eat." Blitzwolfer whimpered slightly.

Ashlynn shook her head. "No, those are our opinions alone. If you want to eat meat, fine by us, but don't ask us to it eat." she explained; Blitzwolfer chuckled slightly, remembering how Draculaura would get around meat of any kind, evening fainting at the mere sight of blood.

"Alright. I won't push the subject." he chuckled. "So I get why Ashlynn's a Rebel, but what about you Hunter? Any reason you're fighting destiny?"

Hunter's expression darkened. "Because as the next Huntsman, I'm required to hurt innocent animals for sport and for my story; in the story of Little Red Riding Hood, I'm literally supposed to kill you to save Cerise."

"Then good for you!" Blitzwolfer gulped; he wanted to avoid getting killed if it was possible. He turned back to his bacon, trying to keep his eating down to a minimum so he wouldn't cause Ashlynn and Hunter distress, switching to his orange juice and lapping it up with his long, slobbering tongue when he sensed the bench next to him move slightly.

Peeking out of the corner of his eyes to see a girl that was about a half a foot shorter than Ashlynn and absolutely dwarfed by his muscled frame. She had gray eyes like that of rolling storm clouds and pale, peach skin under her long, dark brown hair with predominantly white streaks on her left side; a blood red hood covered her head and hung down along her back, wrapping her in warmth where her red and black plaid tank top, black skirt, gray stockings, and brown hunting boots didn't cover her up enough. Braces decorated with fur and feather sat on her wrists and elbows as she looked at Blitzwolfer with suspicious eyes.

"Oh, hey Cerise!" Ashlynn smiled brightly.

"Hey, guys." the girl said quietly, grabbing the edges of her hood and pulling them down farther to shade her face.

"How's your day been going so far?" Hunter asked, taking a sip of his apple juice.

"Good. I guess." Cerise replied, starring at the rather large hunk of mutton on her tray before her. "Just came by to see the new kid. Blitzwolfer, right?"

"Yep. That's me." the Loboan chuckled. "Uh, you gonna eat that?" he asked, pointing at the mutton on her tray and reaching for it with a claw; Cerise's eyes suddenly flashed a bright amber and she let out a loud growl, bearing her sharp teeth angrily as Blitzwolfer quickly withdrew his hand from Cerise's tray. "Okay, okay! Keep it!" he whimpered.

"Uh, sorry. I . . . I have a cold." she apologized. "I don't think I've seen you at any of my family gatherings." she noted.

"You have a family reunion with the Big Bad Wolves?" Ashlynn cocked an eyebrow.

"Well, uh, seeing as how we're such a big part of each other's stories, we, uh, kinda hang out together sometimes." Cerise admitted, pulling the folds of her hood down farther to hide her face. "That still doesn't explain why I haven't seen him yet."

"That's cause I'm, er, from a distant pack towards the edge of Ever After. Really far out there and stuff." he replied, hoping it would work; Cerise starred at him for a few more seconds before nodding slightly and turning to her mutton, picking it up by the leg and tearing into the meat with a savage attitude before she realized what she was doing and began to eat more slowly and politely, wincing slightly when she caught sight of everyone starring at her.

"Sorry. I was just . . . really hungry." she swallowed and coughed slightly.

"If you say so . . ." Blitzwolfer murmured.


Blitzwolfer blinked as he looked at the bizarre construction before him. In a section of the school yard in an area roughly the size of a football field was a large tower composed of wooden beams and stone bricks at one end with an open window over looking the whole field. Around the tower was a deep moat about a dozen or so feet across with a stone wall surrounding the entire thing and leaving some open space near the front where there were several smaller walls and barricades of sorts to provide protection.

"What am I looking at?" Blitzwolfer asked.

"Heroics 101. Save the Damsel in Distress." Hunter replied with a sigh. "I know I'm supposed to protect fair maidens and what not, but even this is just plain ridiculous."

"What was that, Huntsman?" King Charming frowned as he rode up to the line of boys atop a snow white horse, clad in his royal robes and a golden crown on his head.

"Nothing, King Charming." Hunter quickly clammed up as the King looked him over before nodding and getting back to teaching his class. "Now then. The object of this exercise is to defeat the minions, slay the dragon, capture the villain, scale the tower, and rescue the damsel in distress, all in the least amount of time in that order." he drawled on. "Not that any of you will be able to beat my boy, Daring." he smirked. "Show them how it's done, Daring!"

A boy with perfect skin, blonde hair, bright blues, and a dashing smile stood at the start of the course, admiring his reflection in a small hand mirrior as he posed in a suit of armor just perfect for his size. "Right on, old man!" he gave a charming smile as he put his mirror away and pulled out an impressive sword and shield from his belt, striking a heroic pose.

"He can't be serious." Blitzwolfer face palmed.

"Well, at least we can agree on something for once." Hunter smirked as he watched Daring give a warm laugh and charge right through an opening in the stone wall as a dozen flashes of white light danced across the ramshackle battlefield, revealing a small minion about the size of a large child dressed in blood red robes and a black void with two, glowing eyes where its face should have been or a four legged creature with a stone body, paws, slab-like face, and long tail with a red crystal at the very tip. The minions mindlessly rushed at Daring, swinging their little swords in the hopes of stopping him; Daring effortlessly blocked every shot before he swung his blade in a wide arc and decapitated half of them where they immediately burst into flashes of white light upon death. The animal-like minions snarled and growled as they pounced on him, only to be taken out with two swipes of Daring sword before he plunged the blade deep into the last minions chest and killed it before laughing cheerily and posing triumphantly.

He quickly moved on to the next challenge as a large flash of white light flashed in the area between Daring and the moat, fading away to reveal a large dragon the size of a truck with rust red scales decorated in wild, black stripes, strong hind legs, large claws on its massive, leathery wings that it walked on, and a pair of huge jaws with teeth curving up over the bottom lip as a double pair of horns sat on its head.

"Ha, ha! Fear not, young maiden!" Daring yelled triumphantly. "I shall be along to rescue you upon defeating this horrible beast!"

"Oh, thank you, Sir Charming!" a melodic voice cried happily from the tower; Blitzwolfer looked up to see a beautiful girl with bright, blue eyes, ruby red lips, pale skin, and long, blonde curls that supported an apple-like crown. She wore a red top with puffy, white sleeves, a pink and red skirt, white stockings, and red pumps tied up with several golden ribbons.

"Yeah. Keep at it, Daring." another voice drawled lazily; Blitzwolfer instantly recognized her as the girl that had summoned him into the bowels of the school, a glum expression on her ivory face with her purple eyes half open in boredom.

The dragon let out a loud roar and snapped its jaws shut just inches from Daring's face as he bravely raised his shield to block a short blast of fire aimed right at his head; the prince bravely dove right towards the dragon as it reared up on it's hind legs with its wings open wide, and thrust the sword at the beast's exposed belly, barely tapping the thick skin with the blade before the dragon roared in agony and fell on its side, playing dead.

"Ha, ha! They just don't make dragons like they use to!" Daring grinned charmingly as he jumped on top of the dragon's back and used it as a launch pad to throw himself heroically over the moat, striking a heroic pose in midair as he landed skillfully on the other side and held a bored Raven at sword point.

"Oh, no! You have me! I surrender!" Raven droned sarcastically as she put her hands above her head; Daring laughed snarkingly and produced a coil of rope from within his armor as he quickly tied Raven up beefore casting his sword and shield aside to begin scaling the tower, grabbing onto lose footholds and crevices as he easily climbed to the top of the tower and smiled warmily upon seeing Apple's gorgeous face.

"And time!" King Charming announced, stopping a pocket watch in his hand. "Very good, Daring. You shaved four seconds off of your previous record!" he smiled proudly.

"Are you kidding me?" Blitzwolfer scoffed. "This is a sham! The minions are wimps, the dragon's trained to play dead from a single hit, the villain didn't even try to fight, and he spent half the time just posing and showing off his teeth instead of actually rescuing the princess!"

King Charming turned his horse around to glare sternly at Blitzwolfer, who only retracted about inch under the harsh stare of the king. "And you think you could possibly do better, wolf?" he scoffed at the ridiculous idea.

"Uh, yeah!" Blitzwolfer barked angrily. "I could do this whole course with one hand tied behind my back!" he yelled. "And considering I have a broken hand, I might as well!" he snapped angrily as he pushed past the frightened male students and lumbered over to the beginning of the course; Daring and Apple, having seen the whole thing, shared looks with each other before climbing down from the tower and untying Raven.

"Good job, Apple!" a woman with a blue, satin dress, cone hat with blue netting, and a veil that covered her face complimented the Daughter of Snow White.

"Thank you, Mrs. Marian." Apple smiled happily as she curtsied.

"Alright, Cerise! You're up!" Maid Marian announced.

"Great." Cerise sighed unhappily as she pushed away from the group of girls and walked across a bridge towards the back of the tower and climbed a hidden ladder inside of the tower to the top where she would wait for her prince to rescue her.

"Just be glad you don't have to play the villain every time." Raven murmured to her; indeed, Raven had been forced to play the villain throughout the entire practice upon Headmaster Grimm's request in the hopes that the future Evil Queen would eventually learn to like her role in her story and get into the act so she could put off all "this silly Rebel nonsense", as he had put it. Really, it only made Raven angrier.

"And, go!" King Charming announced as he pressed the start button on his pocket watch; the king watched with a devious smirk as he watched the Loboan rush right into the mess, his grin broadening when he saw the minions start to spawn. Unlike Daring and most of the other heroes, he had made sure to increase the number of minions, increase their strength, and switch out the tamed dragon for a wild dragon without any restraints of any kind. The wolf would learn his place after a crushing defeat, he was sure of that.

Blitzwolfer stormed into the battle grounds as the minions spawned, this time being replaced by men sized golems as thick as barrels and armed with iron fists, hollow faces, and massive shoulder cannons that sat on their shoulders or small, child sized minions armed with swords and sitting on the back of a faceless, stone creature with sharp, gem claws. The Loboan roared and tackled the first golem, knocking it flat on its back and tearing his claws into its claws before grabbing its face in his jaws and tearing it off with one movement of his head, killing it. He leaped up into the air to dodge double shots of the golem's cannons before he grabbed them and swung the two golems together like a pair of cymbals, cru,bling them into stone pebbles as he then used the two cannons as weapons, swinging the cannons around him like nunchaku. He quickly clubbed two minions over the head, crushing them into dust before he launched himself at a mounted minion and tackled it off of its mount, tearing it to pieces before killing the animal with a bite to the back of the neck.

The boys watched with shock and slight horror as Blitzwolfer literally tore the minions to pieces with little effort, quickly ending the minions a few short seconds later as he charged straight at the area where the dragon would appear, bunching up his legs and launching himself right at the beast without hesitation as it appeared in a flash of white light. The dragon was taken aback by this as the Loboan latched himself to the dragon's face and drew back his fist, slugging it in the throat before swing down its long neck and leaving long trails of blood where his claws tore through the skin. He jumped onto the dragon's back, dodging the stream of fire sent his way as he jumped down to the ground and grabbed hold of the beast's tail, pulling with all his might as he slowly lifted the dragon off of the ground and over his shoulder, swinging it around and around before throwing it right at the castle.

"What is he doing!?" Cerise yelled in panic as the dragon was thrown into the tower, shaking it to the very core as the castle shuddered and quaked. Raven screamed as she dove to the ground and covered her head while Cerise was thrown against the back the tower; she watched with fear and horror as Blitzwolfer's jaws split into four, flexible flaps lined with razor sharp teeth and a ear-splitting, ultrasonic howl ripped through the air and smashed full force into the dragon and tower, sending the massive reptile through the structure and utterly annihilating the tower into wooden splinters and stone rubble. Cerise screamed as started to fall towards the ground before something slammed into her and hugged her nice and tight against something furry and warm before she felt a brief moment of coldness before something else was pressed up against her. Her entire world was engulfed in dark, gray fur before she couldn't tell the difference between up and down.

"You two okay?" Blitzwolfer asked.

"Y-yeah. Just fine." Raven blinked and held her head as Cerise froze and quickly grabbed hold of her hood, yanking it back over her head and hoping no one had seen it fall off and expose her wolf ears in the process.

"How about you Cerise?" Blitzwolfer asked.

"I'm fine." she replied quietly and gulped; she felt her face heat up, both in the hopes that her secret had not been exposed and that . . . well, Blitzwolfer's arms were actually really warm. It almost made her sleepy . . .

"Girls! Girls!" King Charming's voice cried as he rode up to them. "Are you alright?" he asked worriedly; Maid Marian, her class, the Heroics 101 class, and Headmaster Grimm were right behind him, a mixture of concern, worry, anger, and excitement across their faces.

"Are you kidding me? That was the best thing that's the best thing that's happened to me so far today!" Raven grinned; Cerise nodded, a small smile on her lips.

"YOUNG WOLF!" Headmaster Grimm roared angrily at the top of his lungs. "Just . . . just what was that horrendous display of yours!?"

"I think," Blitzwolfer started. "That I just won the challenge, right?"

"No! Not at all!" Headmaster Grimm spouted. "You didn't even come close! You have no suit of armor, no sword, no shield, no charismic smile, and you're not even a prince or knight in the first place!" he roared at the top of his lungs.

Blitzwolfer bristled andd growled like the beast he was, releasing his hold on the two girls and storming right up to the Headmaster, standing a couple, intimidating inches taller than him as his lips drew back into a cruel snarl; Cerise slightly wilted at her release, but watched with a smile as she watched the Loboan argue with Headmaster Grimm.

"And how," he growled. "Did I possibly fail? I defeated the minions, slayed the dragon, captured the villain, scaled the tower, and saved the girl too. And as an added bonus, I completely shattered Daring's record." he grinned deviously.

"Oh, really?" Grimm snarled before turning to King Charming. "Your majesty, what was Mr. Wolf's time on the Save the Damsel in Distress course?"

The King blinked and looked at the golden pocket watch in his hand, paling slightly when he caught sight of the time he had it stopped at. "Fifty-nine seconds." he replied.

"And what was your son's record?" he asked, a smug grin on his face.

King Charming, for once in his life, looked worriedly as he shifted himself uncomfortably on the back of his horse. "Um . . . two minutes seventeen seconds." he replied nervously.

"That's right, two minutes and- WHAT!?" the Headmaster startled.

"I rest my case." the Loboan snorted with amusement as he strolled away from the field with a smug grin on his face, leaving the classes and Headmaster utterly baffled and confused; Cerise felt her heart flutter a little as she watched him leave, a light brush creeping across her face. Raven however, was in complete shock.

The symbol from her dream. The same symbol on the strange creature she had summoned.

It was on Blitzwolfer.

Duh-duh-duh! And there we go!
