Clawdeen Pov:
"On the hunt for gorgon venom and fairy dust, or divine moth dust since there seems to be a difference in between the two of them. We made a deal on where we'd go, Frankie and Draculaura would meet up with Tusk since he was the only Kaiju in the entire school to have access to mayonnaise. While I have to join Junior since apparently last night after he was working on his paper, he met up with Mira and figured out he was the new king. I mean it's surprising how no one has been able to figure the two being related, but I guess with how he's avoided appearing like a all powerful Kaiju. Junior tried to look like any ordinary individual, as well we're going meet her along with Deuce. I mean the two of them seem alright and not exactly the type to mess with people, but it's worth a try to see what they would want from meeting us."
Monster High-Gym
Right now in the gymnasium was several monsters and Kaiju's working out which involved doing laps, mastering flight and avoiding not losing any body parts. Right now both Frankie and Draculaura were getting into proper gym clothing as they looked around for any sight of Abby or Tusk. So far everyone was moving either to fast or slow along shouting and roaring all around the two.
"If it comes down to it, we just need to find the two in a sport that requires both physical strength and where cold blooded yeti type creatures would be located at."
Frankie doing a calculation on where the two would be located as they heard a high pitch yell from the weight room. The two feeling like that had to be the ice creatures, they decided to check up what was going on. Heading over they saw inside numerous Kaiju's lifting weights as well trying to prove which was more stronger, Draculaura rolled her eyes at the competition happening to then notice on the other side who they were looking for.
"Guess we found our ghoul."
Proclaiming as they noticed around several Kaiju's was Abbey, who was right in the middle of doing a arm wrestling competition with a cyclops. So far they were evenly match, while on the side was Tusk who was merely watching from the side while letting several monsters use his back as a punching bag.
"You should give up now, Abbey is about to show you how she won arm wrestling competition when she was five."
The frost Kaiju stating to which he smirked at the sight of how Abbey wrapped her fingers tightly around the cyclops hand. This surprised the one eye monster as Abbey flipped him right off the chair and onto the ground. Everyone was surprised about her incredible strength as well how she smiled at the win.
"You did great in arm wrestle, but need work on holding ground. Helps to breath when putting weight on right arm."
Abbey offering advice to the cyclops as he accepted it and gave her a hand shake for the contest. Heading off to continue working out, Abbey noticed Frankie and Draculaura starting at her for how she apparently had muscle behind her sense of cold fashion.
"You both from ancient history class? Did you come to arm wrestle?"
Asking about if they came to have a friendly arm wrestle to which both of them didn't want to since if she could bring down a cyclops then they'd be straws. Draculaura gestured Frankie to start as they were good at making conversation, the reanimated ghoul took a moment to think about what to say as well how to not make it sound like a demand but more of a request.
"We happen to hear that you have mayonnaise, and I was curious if we could have some? There's some food in the cafeteria that I wanted to experiment with and the condiment is just what we were looking for."
Trying to summarize in a way that would allow them to get the condiment, Abbey seemed curious about the question as well turned to Tusk since he was the one who had the condiment. The Kaiju looked at the two ghouls while ignoring the monsters still punching his back for their work out.
"You two done yet?"
Asking behind him as the monsters could see after all the quick jabs and throws they did, Tusk shrugged it off as well seemed to want them to finish. Nodding quickly and seeing how he was going move, Tusk merely stretched himself as well chuckled at their request.
"Now about mayonnaise, I'd be glad to offer this to others. Except I do not know you, and for that I cannot give you."
Making it short and simple which caught the two off by surprise as he seemed rather friendly in class when they first saw him and Abbey interacting with Junior. Now it seem they suddenly changed personality and decided to keep the condiment to themselves. Draculaura almost got annoyed with how they were doing this for a actual ingredient, but retain her composure seeing how they needed to not tell them the real reason.
"Well we can possibly introduce ourselves. For one I'm Draculaura, and this is Frankie. You know us now."
Making a brief introduction of the two to which Tusk blows his nose which felt like a cold breeze. The two ghouls seemed even more confused of how he didn't seem to give them the mayonnaise, turning over to Abbey she merely nodded as it seemed they needed a better understanding of the predicament.
"It is not because he is greedy, but it is because in our village. Mayonnaise was first brought to my village by Tusk's parents long ago after avoiding humans, and had both been shared with my village. Combining ingredients to make incredible snack, you must earn to taste it before getting it."
Explaining how they would possibly get the mayonnaise as Frankie found it interesting for the Kaiju to value the condiment, while Draculaura merely showing a smile hiding away possibly how this was going end up either weird or have to prove they could get it. Tusk merely adjusted his shoulders along bringing the table over that Abbey used for her arm wrestling contest. Pulling four chairs they sat down looking at one another as Tusk went to his bag to pull out a small jar full of mayonnaise.
"In order to get mayonnaise, you must first see if you can withstand the taste. By having tribe's traditional meals."
Abbey stating as she goes to the side of her bag and pulled out her own lunch, in which involved three meals that seemed to be home made due to how cold looking they appeared. The first was piranha that had been both fried as well placed several spices on, the second was a parfait styled snow cone and lastly shish kebab with meat across the side.
"Must taste all three with one drop of mayonnaise to see if you deserve it. Let us show example of what happens when people cannot withstand taste."
Tusk explaining of how what would happen if there was someone that could withstand the taste, in which they noticed by the side Heath who was coming in to get a bottle of water. The Kaiju gestured him to come over as well try some as he grabbed a piece of meat from the shish kebab and offered it to him. The fire boy looked surprised about it and was about to kindly deny the request, however the smell off the meat was irresistible.
"Alright, just because that after doing a few laps with Rhodey I need a quick snack."
Indulging him in taking the snack as Heath soon ate the meat with one drop of mayonnaise on it. Both Frankie and Draculaura were confused since it was just a small drop of the condiment, what exactly happen if they wouldn't be able to withstand the taste? Staring at Heath to see what the result would be for the fiery monster, Heath merely smiled of how tasty it was.
"Cool. I mean I've had cold food but this is alright."
Stating to both Tusk and Abbey about how it was until suddenly he then collapsed on the ground. The two looked shocked at how fast the boy dropping along that Heath of groaning and almost looking like he was about to puke. Abbey pulled out a small bottle of water from her bag and handed it to Heath as he merely nodded to the drink as he slowly got up and tried to shrug it off.
"This seems fun."
Frankie not being frighten of how the substance might be to dense since it looked like the condiment could only be enjoyed by the strong. Draculaura looked at the meals and got nervous since this was either going mess her stomach up or possibly have her pass out. Though she merely ignored the fear and decided to do this for the spell.
"Better time to be grateful I'm a vampire with a strong appetite."
Sounding confident as both Abbey and Tusk smiled of how the two ghouls weren't backing down from the challenge. Making sure they were given even proportions, the two decided to dive right into the meals. Observing how they were enjoying the meals, both Abbey and Tusk got curious of how Frankie and Draculaura were withstanding the taste.
"So far its tangy. Strong and have quite the nutrition, no wonder the spell requires this."
Thinking about it as Frankie continued to enjoy the meals, however for Draculaura was almost regretting doing this. From how the food was it was alright, however the mayonnaise felt like if she was eating a rock. Gripping her hand and trying to ignore it, the two frost creatures went close to the vampire girl seeing if she back down.
"Come on. Don't back down, prove you are stronger than mayonnaise."
Abbey encouraging her as Tusk was also anxious to see if she'd be able to digest it. The pink skin vampire finished it as well showed them a serious expression that it wasn't going slow her down. Watching how they handled the food, Abbey and Tusk watched to see if the mayonnaise would bring them down or cause them to have a stomach ache. However nothing happened, they survived the taste as well showed they could withstand the condiment and the meals.
"By the Himalaya mountains, you did it!"
Tusk announcing as both him and Abbey applauded the two as well gave them a hug for accomplishing the challenge. While Frankie smiled at how even after they tested to taste their food, they were still considered friendly. While Draculaura nodded at the hug seeing how she was glad about proving they were strong enough to withstand the taste.
"Now. Can we please have the mayonnaise?"
Asking in which Tusk nodded as he offered them a small jar of the substance which the two thanked him and Abbey for their time. The two soon head off with different expressions as Frankie seemed happy for doing something with Draculaura since the two didn't had time to spend time with one another, while for the vampire still nauseous from the food.
"I'm betting my fangs on this possibly messing up Junior's stomach."
Thinking a wicked idea of how that she was close to falling to the ground on how tough it was eating the food and the mayonnaise to the mix. So it would help down the spell and make it edible, however she wouldn't mind the reaction on Junior's face once it was all complete. The last part was him and Clawdeen to get the gorgon venom and moth dust from the others so by tonight they could get this finish once and for all.
Later in the woods
Outside of Monster High was both Clawdeen and Junior who were following the same path way where he saw Mira last night. Right now the two were discussing about what had happened along how the moth girl was able to recognize him.
"Did you think Mira knew who you were when we first met her?"
Clawdeen asking about how if Mira knew about who Junior was on the first day, wouldn't it mean others could figure it out. So far the lizard merely rolled his eyes of how it might have been due to her divine moth nature. From what he's been able to research on old Kaiju's before Monster High and Pandora, Mira's mother Mortha was somewhat of a goddess that was able to bless the land as well learn about almost anything about anyone.
"Maybe. We should just figure out if they'll help us out."
He responded sounded possibly annoyed of how just as things might go their way and might get a chance to have good things happen. The wolf girl could see how he seemed to have change personalities as this was new seeing him upset, walking right by his side the lizard noticed Clawdeen being close as he tried to keep his space.
"I'm guessing she said something that wasn't so friendly right?"
Asking about how there might have been something off with him, in which Junior noticed how she was concern for him. It was unlike anyone to try and getting to know him, the only time it was had to be Komos when he learned about his heritage. However this was different since Clawdeen was a werewolf hybrid who's had it rough, meaning that if there was anyone who understood a challenge of living with a secret it be her.
"Well not exactly, it's just. I've kept to myself for so long and never stopped to have a simple conversation with anyone. Not exactly a people's person."
Stating to Clawdeen due to how from what she's heard from the videos along avoiding being seen. It seemed that this was a choice he had to make, much like herself whenever she tried to go out to enjoy any human activities.
"Maybe that's because you need to open up, not to much but let people know who you are. I mean we're not hanging around you cause your king, we're hanging out because there things we like. Music, a good sense in food and possibly a open mind for new things."
Offering Junior the opportunity to allow himself to share certain things with her and the others since they've hanged out for such a while. The lizard blew air out of his nose since it seemed like a far fetched idea, as well how it wasn't easy. Continuing their walk Junior wanted to believe in the words Clawdeen was offering, however it was more difficult the she would realize.
"Asking for a friend who's got some insecurities. Acts like he's so confident but it's just make believe."
Starting to sing slowly as well travel deep into the woods where he was able to hid himself in the shadows. Clawdeen saw how quickly he moved as well kept her calm since he was obviously trying to scare her, slowly creeping behind Junior saw how the werewolf stood in the single spot without showing any fear.
"Wanting to be myself but it just ain't easy for me."
"You mean your friend?"
Asking him which threw him off as she turned around curious as the look on Junior's face made him confused since he was trying to think of a way to best describe himself.
"Right, he wants to feel less like he's some kind of freak."
Admitting to how while he had his issues as well trouble with building friendships he felt like something entirely different then a monster or Kaiju. Moving towards a tree he placed it his claws across the bark and spun around allowing himself to let the air calm him down from the surprising question.
"I, I, I. Something 'bout when I look in your eye, eye, eyes."
"You?"
Clawdeen coming up from the side which took Junior again by surprise of how quick she was. Dropping to the ground he dusts himself off as well see's his claws making a spiral around it along question if this was his true self.
"Yeah? Makes me feel like I can be my real self. Oh, I'm so sick of tryna be somebody else. I don't know what to do, Can I trust you?"
Asking her about if there was chance he could trust someone like Clawdeen. Even with having a human side as well getting in deep trouble with lurking around Monster High to find a way to retain her werewolf form, deep down he still felt like he could trust her or the others.
"It takes a while for trust to be build on, as well it's good to go slow in the beginning then rushing it."
Thinking about how Junior could slowly open himself and his emotions to her and the others, which still made Junior doubt the suggestion. Coming passed a lake he noticed several large like aquatic beasts coming up to try and frighten him.
"Never had a lot friends who never had my back. But how can I tell.."
Continuing with the song he soon gets stopped by a growl from Clawdeen as she scares off the sea beasts. Having them retreat back into the water she turned around smiling of how this was a example of having his back.
"I'm going have you back till very end."
Answering his question before skipping off to the side leaving Junior to think about what he saw. While he could have scared the creatures off himself, Clawdeen stepped in without a second's notice showing how he wasn't along in this situation.
"Oh, could I count on you?"
Asking her leaving Clawdeen to leap onto a tree trunk smiling to him of how what she did might have surprise him. Catching up with Junior, he gazed on how the sun behind her was shining leaving him amazed of how it looked like one of his albums of a female rock star.
"Yeah, that's the entire truth."
Responding to him as she soon pulls him out as the two soon we're balancing right onto the log. Feeling a bit worried about falling, Junior soon laughed of how they had to work together as Clawdeen shared the smile seeing that he was opening up.
"I, I, I. Something 'bout when I look in your eye, eye, eyes. Makes me feel like I can be my real self. Oh, I'm so sick of tryna be somebody else. I don't know what to do, Can I trust you?"
Still asking her before he dropped to ground, the sudden stomped made the log shake as well Clawdeen to lose her balance and fall. Seeing her fall Junior sight her which was a surprise since he's never done this before, as well being this close to a girl. Sharing a smile they decided to continue along the path.
"I, I, I. Something 'bout when I look in your eye, eye, eyes. Makes me feel like I can be my real self. Oh, I'm so sick of tryna be somebody else. Can I tell the truth Feel like I can trust you."
Finishing the song as they soon made it to the lake where they didn't know both Deuce and Mira were waiting for them. Seeing the adoptive siblings both Clawdeen and Junior quickly moved away feeling embarrassed of how close they seemed when they arrived. Getting serious the two looked at the others, more importantly Mira since she was the once to figure out who Junior truly was.
"Hey, nice to see you guys here."
Deuce starting the conversation since this might have felt strange for the coming here, in which when he was told by Mira to come with him to the river seemed important. The four looked at one another as Clawdeen felt just as awkward as he did since she had to ask him for his venom.
"Yeah, in a manner of how things don't get weird or anything bad happens."
Clawdeen responding as Junior still felt uneasy about Mira finding out who he was. Mira agreed with Clawdeen on how this can be handled peacefully as she looked to Junior seeing how he felt like there was conflict bound to happen.
"Indeed, because I wish to know what your looking for."
She asked both of them which had Clawdeen's look change feeling that Mira might know what their up to. Junior expressed to the wolf girl of how not to be so friendly to someone that might have a idea of what might be going on. Deuce could tell Mira caught them off by surprise as well felt worried about how his sister might have said it the wrong way.
"To put it in a way that doesn't start any trouble, Mira has a unique talent of seeing things in people. Right now things have gone rather strange with that 'bloody' sign about the school having enemies and lights flickering. She's noticed Junior, and wanted to talk to him since apparently she knows who he is."
Explaining about that Mira's unique talent on looking into people's true nature as well personality. The lizard and werewolf still felt cautious about what Mira might have known as they remained silent for a moment, however Junior decided to speak first since he wouldn't let himself be intimidated by her.
"Let me guess, me getting angry was a giveaway?"
Asking about how Mira have known who he was from how he's acted in the past few days. Except she walked over slowly as she placed a finger on one of his scales, Tracing down she saw how they glowed. Both Clawdeen and Deuce gazed upon how Mira made the scales glow and Junior freaking out as he moved away quickly.
"Because of your emotion, being alone and having so much held back. Much like Clawdeen, your both seeking the same thing. Change."
Stating how while she may not know about Hyde's lab as well a possibly a formula to help Clawdeen retain her werewolf form. Though she didn't expect for Junior to change when they find a way to open the entrance. The lizard said nothing since it was a sensitive topic, however it seemed that it would be something that he would have to tell her by himself.
"The only question is will you be able to accept it once you obtain it?"
Asking them that out of what might happen would they be happen. For Clawdeen she seemed certain about remaining a werewolf, however saw how Junior merely kept to himself and not allow him to get involved in this personal matter. Deuce decided to see what exactly they needed from them and hope for the best about what was happening.
Night Time-Zombie Graveyard
With the meeting concluded and having their ingredients for the spell, Clawdeen was surprised how Junior told her about what he was after when they find Hyde's lab. It was shocking since it was the opposite of what she was after, right now Junior could tell she had questions about what he wanted from the lab.
"You want to become human?"
Clawdeen asking about that after hearing about her story as well being considered a outsider. So the idea of Junior finding his place there could benefit him more since he's grown up to music made by humans as well try to adapt to their environment.
"Ironic right? The girl who wants to be a monster, and the monster that wants to be human. Either way it's better for everyone if I disappear. Let the theory of 'Gojira returning' die."
Junior expressing about how if everyone forgot about the possible return of the Kaiju king, things would be normal here. Along leaving him the chance to finally have a normal life away as well see what life is like without being attacked by monsters who want to be like his father. Clawdeen felt sorry for what he was feeing or how if he vanished, it would have cause trouble here and amongst the Kaiju.
"I'm not a expert on Kaiju politics or anything like that, but I can't tell it might cause problems for others that might actually need a king."
Trying to reason that while he may have not enjoyed being the king and not accepting it, there might be a small percentage of Kaiju's that might ask for a new king. Junior wanted to believe that, however after growing up alone have struggling alone and not getting any type of help he couldn't accept it.
"The day this realm needs a king is when there's someone that'll accept the pain of getting hunt and attacked everyday."
Responding how when this would be over no one would ever try to think about fighting to become the new Kaiju king. Clawdeen saw how serious he was when he said that, in which she didn't know how to respond. Suddenly they saw Frankie and Draculaura coming over with a jar with the spell, the two smiled at the sight along soon noticed a smell coming from the two of them.
"You two smell like mayonnaise, seriously way to much mayonnaise."
Clawdeen responding as Junior nodded to the fact as Frankie chuckled at the mention while Draculaura ignored it since it was going be worth it. Gesturing to see if they had the ingredients, Clawdeen handed them to her as the vampire begun to mix it up which soon caused the jar to glow blue. Handing it to the lizard, Junior merely gulped since this was rather shocking to see this in the palm of his hands.
"Whatever happens, I'm glad that we all had a part in this."
Draculaura responding of how thinking that when she began to practice magic and witchcraft, she'd never imagine doing it with a group. Smiling towards one another Junior begun to drink the potion, feeling the liquid going down his throat he felt the sudden dingle filling him.
"We have to warn you that the mayonnaise isn't for everyone and it might make your stomach groan for the next few minutes."
Frankie warning him as they could tell Junior was tasting the mayonnaise, however it soon went away as his eyes begun to glow blue along his tail scales. The three ghouls were surprised how he looked and that Junior cracked his knuckles as he turned towards where the lab would be.
"Let's do this."
He spoke as well vibrating due to the effect from the potion, walking threw the tombstones and right up to the stairs where they saw the hand print. Looking at his hand feeling like this was the last time he might have claws and scales, he placed it right onto the print. The anticipation was high along that the door was bound to open, suddenly the door begun to glow as well making Junior move back as he saw himself losing his glow.
"Get ready."
Clawdeen advising as they saw the hand print suddenly crumbling to which it broke apart, the four soon saw how it showed a new hand print. This left them speechless as well unable to figure out what went wrong, more or less of Junior seeing that all the work they did merely left them to figure out another lock.
"Damn it."
Cursing while also feeling himself glow again, the three witnesses the Kaiju getting upset seeing how it didn't open. Thought the emotion went away as he turned to the others seeing how it felt like a fail for all of them, however Frankie showed a stern look as they didn't like everyone acting upset.
"We just have to figure this one out, and see how we can solve it."
Giving them a optimistic response to their dilemma as it seem even after what had happen, Frankie wasn't going give up. This left the others to nod at the response seeing how it might things more simpler since it was a regular shaped hand, taking a quick photo of the hand the four decided to head back to the school before anyone notice them and avoid being spotted.
