Troop Secrets

by Poke'boy24

A Story I've been wanting to do for awhile with Summary inside. Rated M for Monster Girls, Lemons/Yuri, Mass Crossovers, Language, Mild Humor, Violence, and Futa OC X Monster Girl Harem. (Cover Image created by me, KidJuly24 on DeviantArt) (On hold for now)

1. Welcome New Troops

Hey everyone, Poke'boy24 here with the first chapter of a NEW Story that I've been wanting to do for a while after watching my favorite Nick show The Troop!

Now this will be different because I'm adding some Monster Girl Animes into this mix so, please envision the Characters and Monsters as either artwork from an Anime or Comic since I'll be using some descriptions that would be overly exaggerated in real life so just wanted to give you all a heads up so here is the summary.

Summary: Every Troop Squad has between 3 to 5 Members, but what happen if another Student scored the same as Jake on that test as well as what secrets she's hiding.

Contains: Monster Girls, Lemons/Yuri, Language, Violence, and Futa OC x Monster Girl Harem.

I DON'T own The Troop or any of the Series that some Monsters and Elements and Songs that may or may not appear so without further ado, I give you all Troop Secrets!

/ / / / /

I don't know how, and I don't know when. All I do know is that I don't care.

Born between a Bastard Father who abandoned me at birth and a Bitch of a Mother who abused me for a majority of my childhood! But… that's all behind me now as I now got a new life and a new Family.

Secrets are meant to be kept buried, but I would love to share mine since some of these I've kept bottled up, just waiting for someone to listen.

BEEP-BEEP-BEEP-BEEP!~

The sounds of my Alarm-clock going off gave head an annoying headache as I covered my head with my pillow groaning as I moved my hand trying to feel for the dreaded noise box until finding it before-

SMAAAASSSSSHHH! Cling-Clack…

-slamming my hand hard on it with enough force that it was crushed into several pieces as some fell onto the floor. Finally with quietness restored I snuggled back to sleep.

Knock~ Knock~

Only to groan as someone knocked on my bedroom door. "Weslyn time to get up because you don't want to be late for your first day of School~." I heard the voice of my Cousin mockingly giggling before hearing her walk away.

'Well, first day of being Human… again…' I groaned sitting myself up as I stretch with a yawn, my back and joints popping as I slowly got out of bed before picking up my handheld mirror to show my messy mane of Magenta color hair with my two fuzzy antennas sticking through and swaying lightly to my Scarlett skin face along with my discolored eyes with one being a Greyish-Green while the other was a Magical-Pink.

Setting the mirror down I got out of bed and grabbed my CD Player before heading towards the bathroom to take a shower to start my day. Sitting the player on the sink counter I then press play to listen to one of my favorite songs as I began my shower.

Hearing my music, I couldn't help but hum as I washed my hair and body, a perk for having four hands, as I began singing along to the song that was playing. "If you believe it's in my soul~ I'd say all the words that I know~ Just to see if it would show~ That I'm trying to let you know~ That I'm better off on my own~…" I sang as I finished wincing my body before turning off the water and drying my damp fuzzy body before wrapping the towel around tightly as I then started brushing my teeth and hair, again another perk of having four hands, before exiting to return to my room.

"Now what did I tell you about that young lady." A Woman's voice said sternly causing me to sweat as I turned around. "Oh man…" I muttered to myself as my Aunt sent a very stern look my way.

As our mysterious Teen continues to get ready, let see what's happening on the other side of Lakewood.

/ / / / /

"Hurry up Phoebe!" a 15-year-old Boy with messy curly Brown hair called walking out of his House. His outfit consist of a Grey Jacket over a Yellow Shirt and Tan Pants as he was carrying a lot of stuff like his Book-bag, Skateboard, Helmet, and Sketchbook.

Looking at his latest work, he never realizes how breezy this morning was until a gust of wind blew one of his sketches across the street. Chasing after the sketch, he was about to reach for it only for someone to step on it.

Looking up he saw his nasty mean Neighbor. "You're on my lawn. Nm mmm." a Man said grumbling as the Boy looked up to see that the Man was in his 40s with his hair tied in a ponytail while wearing Police-styled Sunglasses as he grabbed the sketch. "It's mine now." He stated sternly before walking back to his porch.

"Hey, you better save that. It's going to be worth a lot someday!" the Boy said as the Man just crammed it into a crate with 'MINE NOW' written in bold Black marker with a lot of other stuff, mostly toys from some of the other Neighborhood kids, as the Man just groan in annoyance. "You know what, how about I just get off your lawn." Boy said in defeat before walking back towards his house.

"He got my Glow-ball last week, which I kind of get. But, what's he gonna do with my Princess Tiara?" a 10-year-old Girl with long Brown hair wearing a Navy-blue Jacket over a White Shirt and a Blue and Yellow striped Skirt said as she walked out of the house with her Book-bag on her back as she walked towards her older Brother.

"Come on your Majesty, Mom said I had to walk you to the Bus." The Boy said as both siblings started walking.

"Funny, Mom said I had to walk you to the Bus. Said you were nervous about the Altitude Test results." Phoebe said with a smirk as she poked fun at her older brother.

"Try totally freaked! Once they label you something, it's hard to shake it." The older sibling stated as he was a mess of nerves before feeling his little sister grabbing his arm getting his attention.

"You can overcome anything Jake, I believe in you." The younger sibling said giving her older brother a reassuring smile.

"Really?" Jake asked with a smile feeling his hopes rising up.

"Nope, I just heard people say that on Tv." Phoebe said with a smirk causing him to sigh in defeat.

SQU-EEeeeeeeaaaaaaakk!~

The sound of brakes squeaking caught both their attention as they saw the School Bus picking up Students and getting ready to leave. "My Bus, MY BUS!" Phoebe panicked seeing the Bus leaving without her.

Dropping his Skateboard, the older sibling gave his little sister a reassuring look. "I got it." Jake said as he began chasing the Bus. "Stop! Stop! I said STOP!" he called as he caught up to the Bus and began skating faster until he was close enough to jump and grab hold of the roof of the vehicle. Crawling on top, he began banging on the side trying to get the Driver's attention only for his attempt to be drowned by the sounds of the other kids inside.

Seeing as his first attempt was failing, Jake began moving over the roof until he was at the front. "I said stop!" he exclaimed getting in front of the driver's window scaring the Driver causing him to slam on the brakes. "WHOOAA! ! !" he cried out as he was hurled off the Bus before getting hit by his Board which rolled under the large vehicle as he groaned.

"Thanks Jake!" Phoebe thanked as she ran towards the doors before climbing aboard as her older brother got back up before skating onward towards his school as she gone to hers.

"And don't forget I won't be back from my Beauty Retreat until tomorrow." A Woman said checking her purse as she told her Husband about where she was going.

"Hn, you are going to need to stay longer." The Man from earlier grumbled as he looked over his lawn not caring about what his Wife was saying.

"What?" the Woman asked loudly getting his attention as he looked up.

"So long!" he said with a fake smile while raising a hand before walking away causing his Wife to shake her head in annoyance while sighing in frustration…

"SQU-AAAOOORRR! ! !"

…until what sounded like a bird squawking caught her attention. "What going on in there?" she questioned loudly as she headed towards the Forest behind their House to see where that strange sound was coming from.

Entering the forest, she began hearing the weird bird call coming from all around. "Hello?" she called trying to figure out who's making those sounds thinking it might be an injure or sick Animal or one of the Neighborhood Kids pulling a prank. Moving forward, she began looking around hoping to see who or whatever was making the sounds.

Moving her eyes around nervously, the Woman never knew that she was being stalked. "SQU-AAAOOOOORRRR! ! !" she her the sound as something rushed behind her as she quickly turned around only to quickly be turned into stone before she could even cry out for help as the creature rushed around its territory!

/ / / / /Ch 1: Welcome New Troops!/ / / / /

"Okay, first day at a new school…" said the Girl from this morning only she was now in her 'Original' Human appearance. Weslyn is a Girl 15 years of age of average height(5ft4inches) with Tanned skin and messy Black hair with bhangs covering her Pink color eye leaving her faded Green eye visible as well as a Scarlett colored headband around her head. Her outfit consists of Dark Blue short-legged Overalls over a Pink long-sleeved shirt and Violet colored Leggings as well as Brown Boots. Her body was something that would attract any boy's attention as well make many girls envious since her outfit shows off her toned athletic built as well ample figure.

"Let get this over with…" Weslyn muttered to herself as she chained up her Bike and grabbed her bag before heading into her new School, Lakewood High, home of the Lakewood Wombats, as she headed towards the Administration Office to pick up her schedule.

Walking through the halls, she couldn't help but feel a lot of the other Students looking at her with different thoughts going through their heads with some of the Guys wondering who the 'hot' new Freshman was as well wondering if she's single or easy with some of the Girls already glaring at her with either hate seeing their Boyfriends looking at her or jealousy eyeing her blossoming figure and eye catching curves while the other Students just wonder who she was, where she came from, and so on.

'Why must I be cursed with such a figure?~' the Halfling thought with a groan blaming both her Adopted Mothers due to the Amazon as well the Succubi DNA from the blood ritual a couple years ago. 'Why did I have to be here? I was some much happier in the Monster Realm going to my old Magic School as well as being with my Friends!~' she mentally whined that even though this Human World wasn't the one she was originally born in, she still loved her new life back in the Monster Realm learning Magic and being with her Friends/Lovers.

"Oh, don't be like that Wessy~ I'm still here with you~" a feminine voice teasingly stated within her subconscious as she just sighed in frustration while blushing in embarrassment from her old nickname.

"I know Nyx, but I was REALLY looking forward to starting my Highschool years with all my friends, not in some Human Realm. That's why I severed all ties with my Biological Sperm and Egg donors to become the very being I am today!" Weslyn mentally stated glancing at her shadow to see a silhouette of a Humanoid Insect-like creature while giving a small flex of her 'wings' to prove her point. "Hard to believe it been nearly five years since my transformation." She added remembering that day she learned the truth, the truth so heartbreakingly painful that she fell into such deep darkness if it wasn't for her Friends showing/sharing the many forms of love that she had always craved causing her cheeks to burn pink with slight fluster.

"Oh-ho~ Someone's remembering their first time~ Bet your former Biological Siblings would be jealous that you've gotten not one, but FOUR Girlfriends before any of them!~" Nyx said since it was true since her former siblings should be in either Highschool or College by now.

"S-S-S-Still! Koral, Vexus, Flora, Mixa, and I didn't know what we were doing wasn't MEANT FOR UNDERAGE CHILDREN!" the former Human argued that even though it was wrong, it still felt... nice... knowing that her friends really cared about her that way which was one of the reasons why she changed in the first place.

Even though it was wrong for her to be… intimate with someone at an early age but Human standards don't really have many grounds in a Realm of Monsters and Magic but hey, she was happy that she found her true home.

But she still misses her life back in the Monster Realm, her old School Black Rune Academy, her Mentor/Mother-figure Tantula the Spider Witch, Blasko the Dragoian Lizard Demon/Brother-figure, as well as all her Friends/Lovers.

"I know you miss everyone back home, but I'm still here with you since we are technically together." Nyx said since it was true seeing as she been with Weslyn ever since her mental breakdown which unlocked all her raw Magic that destroyed most of an empty Forest so she became a… 'Teacher in benefits' since she was stuck as an Astral Spirit so the both of them made a little deal.

The deal was that Nyx would help teach Weslyn how to control her massive amount of Magic if said Human Girl helped her reconstruct a new body.

Looking up and snapping from her mental conversation, Weslyn finally found the Administration Office and went to get her schedule as well the results from her Altitude Test which she took before the School year started.

/ / / / /

Skating through the hallway Jake swiveled passed some Students, some quickly moving out of the way, before stopping as he saw one of his friends.

"Hey Jake." The Boy sighed sadly releasing a breath of air in disappointment.

"Eddy what's wrong?" Jake asked wondering what got his friend so down.

"Oh I-uh just got the results of my Altitude Test. Turns out I'm not going to live out my ah dream of being a Matador." Eddy sighed sadly since he always wanted to a Bull Fighter just like how Jake wanted to become a Comic Book Artist/Writer.

"Whatever you're going to be, but it's still pretty cool." Jake said in a reassuring voice hoping to cheer his friend up about whatever career he might had gotten.

"Oral Surgeon." Eddy stated pointing towards his mouth.

"Dude." Jake stated sadly since he was not expecting that career his friend would have gotten stuck with.

"Yeah, so if you know anyone who needs a pair of sequence pants, give them my number." Eddy said as he headed towards class seeing as he now longer needed the outfit he already gotten for his dream.

Seeing the crushed look on his friend's face, Jake was about to head towards his class before noticing the School's Administrator. "Mr. Stockley! Mr. Stockley!" he called getting their attention.

Mr. Stockley is a Man in his 40s with Dark colored skin and short Black Hair and trimmed beard as he was dressed in a Suit as for his Job's dress code as he continued walking.

"Wait!" Jake called as he quickly ran up to him. "I was hoping you could give me a little heads up on my Altitude Test results?" he asked since he was freaking out if he'll have his dream career or not.

"Oh, I don't think that's a discussion you want to have in public. My Office, 10 o'clock." Mr. Stockley said turning the corner leaving the inspiring Comic Artist to himself.

"Just a hint?! Or a revealing glance?!" Jake asked before sighing. "Great, I'll probably end up a Janitor." He said with a groan as he turned around to see one of said Janitors holding a wet trash-bag dripping water staring back at him with a blank expression. "Which would be totally awesome!" he quickly exclaimed trying to recover from his unintended insult.

"Here's your books, pipe busted. Your new Locker is #33, around the corner down the hall." The Janitor said flatly handing Jake the leaking bag while instructing him to his new Locker while said teen just shook his head since some of his other sketches were in those books.

"Seriously?" Jake groaned to himself as he carried the leaking trash-bag through the hall towards his new locker.

/ / / / /

"Here you go Ms. Blaksilk, and I hope you enjoy the first day of Lakewood High." Mr. Stockley said handing Weslyn her schedule of her classes for the semester.

"Thanks, but I should warn you that if any of the other Student are laying on the floor beat up, don't blame since they'll be the one who started it first." Weslyn said in a serious tone since she grew a backbone after her transformation so she would no longer be that submissive little girl her Birth Mother abused her to be as well as the bullies when she first started going to School in the Monster Realm.

Once giving her warning, the 15-year-old Girl turned to leave for her first class before Mr. Stockley stopped her. "Before you go, swing by my Office at 10 o'clock so I can give you the results of your Altitude Test." He said getting her to nod before continuing on her way to class.

Once she was gone, the School Administrator quickly went to check something. "I hope this thing isn't broken, because it's not every day that we get TWO recruits." He said to himself as he double checked something while looking as two Test sheets with the highest scores he had ever seen in years.

/ / / / /

Jake checked the Lockers looking for #33 as he overheard the conversation between some girls but the one that was talking was the one who really caught his attention.

The Girl has long wavy Blonde hair tied in pigtails as her outfit consists of a Blue Jacket over a Black Shirt and White Tee with a necklace around her neck and Black Pants as she continued talking about what happened in her Art Class the other day.

"Thank you." Jake whispery thanked as he looked up but sadly the girls heard him as they turned their attention onto him. Quickly playing it cool, he walked up to the Locker and tried to open it only to struggle with the handle. Seeing that the girls were starting to giggle he decided to use the oldest excuse in the book. "New Locker." He simply stated since it was true.

"Hi, I'm Hayley." The Blonde greeted offering her hand as she introduced herself.

"I know, we've been going to School together since we were in 2nd Grade." Jake said as he shook her hand.

"Aw-ohh um, right well, nice to meet you again." Hayley said as Jake tried to open the Locker again, only for it to seem even more stuck than before.

Trying and failing, the girls started giggling again as he tried slamming his shoulder against it. "Stubborn one." Jake declared since it doesn't want to open.

"Here, let me help." Hayley offered as she stepped up and pound her hand against the Locker knocking the door loose as the other girls continued to giggle.

"Laugh it up ladies, but I'm not a guy who gets easily embarrassed." Jake stated as he opened the door only to find the Locker full of stickers of cute guys, flowers, and someone else's books making him think he might have picked the wrong Locker as the girls giggling became full blown laugher. "But nothing's impossible." He said trying to hide his embarrassment with a grin.

RING-RING-RING-RING-RING! ! !~

The bell for first period ranged as the inspiring Comic book Artist closed the Locker as Students headed towards their respected classes.

Walking into Science class, Jake was quickly met with the Science Teacher who has a scowl on his face. "Nice of you to join us Mr. Collins, we've already paired up for the Frog Dissection, find a partner." The Teacher said while whispering that last part in a sneering tone showing that he's one of those Teachers who doesn't tolerate lateness since Jake was busy drying his soaked books.

Sighing to himself, Jake walked around trying to find a spot until finding one next to a Boy sitting by himself.

The Boy has Tanned skin with short Black hair and Glasses over his eyes. His outfit consists of a Tan and Yellow Jacket over a Grey V-neck Shirt, a Yellow Watch on his left wrist, and Black Pants as he has his arms up behind his head as well as a confidence look on his face as he nodded his head while raising his eyebrows.

Seeing as this Student was alone Jake turned around to try to find any other open seats only to find none.

Seeing what he was doing, the boy leaned forward. "Over here Science friend." He whispered getting Jake's attention causing him to look over.

Seeing that there was nowhere else to sit, Jake decided to cut his lost and sit next to the other student. "Hey Felix." He greeted sitting his bag on the floor before taking his seat next to the now identified Felix.

"Congratulations Jake, you just won the Lab Partner lottery~" Felix said with a bit of a sing-song voice at the last word before looking at his partner. "You can take your A++ to the bank, now here some rules." He started before Jake decided to cut him off.

"I didn't really ask to be-" Jake tried to say before Felix cut him off.

"Hang on, I'm still talking." The Glasses wearing teen said as he bended over to picking up a small bag before placing it on the table in front of the Comic Artist. "This is a bag of Frog Organs, I want you to memorize them." He added getting his partner to look at the bag with confusion.

"But our Frog hasn't even been dissected?" Jake questioned since they hadn't began cutting open their Frog yet.

"I brought these from home, you see I am that good." Felix answered since he takes Science very seriously. "As you can see, I am driving this train and what I expect from you are the three Ls. Loyalty, Listening, and Ladies~ Comment by spoke." He added before turning to his book and began reading while Jake looked over to the table next to him.

"Sanjay, how many weeks is this Lab?" he whispered to one of his classmates wanting to be partnered with anyone else.

"Ssshhh." Sanjay shushed him before focusing on the assignment in front of him getting the promising Comic maker to sigh in defeat.

"Okay, Scissors." Felix asked holding out his hand as they both gotten started.

/ / / / /

"Hey Baby, what brings you here~" a Senior on the School's Football team asked trying to flirt with Weslyn as she was putting her new books in her new Locker.

"Moved from my old home, wishing I didn't but my Mom said it would be best if I stayed with my Aunt for a while." Weslyn said as she had a scowl on her face before looking at her watch to see that it was almost 10 o'clock.

Ever since first period she already had Guys trying to ask her out, Girls threatening her to stay away from their boyfriends, and she caught sight of the Teacher staring at her ass, so she was barely keeping it together.

"Calm down Weslyn, you don't want to get suspended or expelled on your first day." Nyx said as she started taking calming breathes. Back when she was still Human, Wes mostly dealt with her problems by either screaming into something or crying in the bathroom… "Boy were you a real mess back then." Nyx added since a lot, and she meant a LOT, of her earlier memories before she entered her subconscious were her mostly crying.

"That was only because that fuckin' Bitch Kai abused me both mentally and emotionally!" Weslyn argued as her cheeks dusted up with pink recalling how truly fragile and vulnerable, she was but luckily, she made friends who actually cared about her to save her from herself.

"So, what do you say to a date afterschool~" the Senior said putting on a charming smile which caused the Witch in training to roll her eyes in disgust.

"Not interested Bucko since I'm already in a happy relationship with someone back home." 'And those Girls are FAR Bigger than you Tiny! Myself included!' Weslyn said while laughing madly at the insult she thought of since it was true, and in more ways than one.

"Look Sweetie, I'm one of the most popular guys here in School. So unless you don't want to be seated with the 'Loser Club', you'll have to go out with me." The Senior said with a sneer as his hand traveled down before grabbing one of her butt-cheeks causing her the 'EEP!' loudly. 'Hmm~ Big AND firm, nice~' he thought as he continued to grope her.

Weslyn's face was red, not with embarrassment but with full blown anger as her eyes flashed Pink as she channeled Magic into her hand, intent on seriously harming this pig! 'Only ones to feel up my ass are ME and MY GIRLS!' she mentally yelled as she started tracing a circle with her finger.

"Weslyn wait!" Nyx called causing her to stop tracing. "Humiliate this chump instead!" she exclaimed with an 'evil grin' getting Wes to smile as she quickly kneed him in the nuts!

"AAOO-OOOHHHH! ! !" the Senior wailed in pain quickly moving his hands over his bruised pride before getting kneed in the face before pushing him face down into a trash bin, making sure to get his legs in as well, as she looked at her handy work.

"See you later, Sweetie~" Weslyn said sarcastically as she wrote something down on a piece of paper before sticking it onto the bin as she headed towards Mr. Stockley's Office as Students soon flooded the halls.

SMACK!

"AOOH!"

SMACK!

"AOOH!"

SMACK!

"AOOH!"

The Senior cried out as Students were smacking his butt, which was sticking out from the trash bin, hard since there was a sign on the bin that said 'SMACK ME REAL HARD!' with an arrow pointing towards his butt as the ones smacking him are either other Students he bullied as well as Girls he dated and dumped as he now has bruised nuts, bruised face, as with the amount of Students walking by, a very bruised butt.

/ / / / /

Sitting outside of Mr. Stockley's Office Jake was sketching in his notebook before looking up as the Administrator exited his Office with a Boy dressed in Black Rocker style clothes following.

"I just don't get it?! Accounting?!" the Student stated not happy with what career he was being told.

"The Test doesn't lie." Mr. Stockley said with a professional smile since many Students were in denial about their test scores.

"Are you sure? This is a huge debit in my joy column. I'll have to amortize my happiness over the next seven quarters." The Student said not hearing himself as the dark-skinned Man placed a reassuring hand on his shoulder.

"Somehow I think we got this one right." Mr. Stockley said feeling that this kid will be a natural Accountant even though he was still upset about not following his dream of being a Rocker.

"Sorry Herp." Jake apologies to the Rocker dressed teen since he knew how much this dream meant to him.

"Thanks Jake." Herp simply said as he headed towards his next class just as Weslyn walked in.

"Aw Ms. Blaksilk, glad you could make it." Mr. Stockley greeted getting Jake's attention as he looked at the new girls who he'd never seen before.

"Hey, I'm Jake. Jake Collins, and you are…?" Jake introduced himself as he offered his hand.

"Weslyn, and I'm not interested in going on any dates so don't bother asking." Weslyn stated with a growl which caused him to step back as a cold shiver ran up his spine.

'Note to self, don't get on the scary chick's bad side.' Jake mentally stated before turning his attention back to Mr. Stockley.

With a big smile on his face, Mr. Stockley gestured towards a bowl of Fruits. "Take one, both of you." He encouraged causing both teens to wonder what he was getting at.

"You can't be serious, right?" Weslyn asked though beating up that Senior jerk had worked her apatite a bit.

"It's okay, I'm not really hungry." Jake politely declined since he was more worried about the results on his Altitude Test to even think about eating.

Sliding the bowl forward, the Administrator encouraged them again. "Take one." He requested as both of them decided to just go along with it.

Picking through the Fruit, both of them found something they never seen before. "Hmm, looks good." Jake hummed as he picked up a Yellowish-Orange oval-shaped fruit with tiny spikes around the skin while Wes pulled out a Reddish-Green pear-shaped fruit with the skin looking like that of a Pinecone.

Looking over his fruit Jake looked towards the desk as an idea came to him before slamming the fruit against the surface cracking it open as he peeled the skin apart showing a gooey Green center. As Jake took a bite from his fruit, Weslyn was studying hers as she tapped the surface before finding a weak spot before smacking it onto the edge of the desk as a snap was heard as she twisted the top part open showing an Orange juicy center.

Seeing as both of them managed to get the fruits opened Mr. Stockley couldn't help but smile since both of those were very tough to open by hand.

"It is good." Jake said as he tasted the fruit's center finding it surprisingly delicious.

"Hmm, sweet with a bit of tanginess." Wesyln stated as she ate her fruit since she was enjoying the tasty fruit.

"Impressive." Mr. Stockley simply stated getting both of their attention. "Okay, let's go." He suddenly said as he started walking off confusing both of them.

"Go where?" Jake asked as both him and Weslyn followed the dark-skinned Man towards the Gym. "So, this is how you let people down? You offer them some fruit then tell them their future is over?" he asked throwing away the peel of his fruit.

"Offering something before giving someone the bad news could sometimes help ease the blow of rejection. And I should because I have personal experience." Weslyn stated before mumbling the second part to herself as she finished her fruit before throwing away the peel.

"I already know what I want to do, I want to draw Comics." Jake added since with his skills he could make his dream a reality.

"Hmm, this kid was like you when you wanted to learn more about your Anodite abilities." Nyx said recalling her 'Landlord's' childhood wanting to know more about Mana capabilities before her arrival to the Monster Realm.

"Yeah, was Kai horrified when I stabbed her through the chest with my own hand before disowning me. Kind of makes me glad she did that because then I wouldn't have broken into that old Library since I would have never found my true home." Weslyn stated with a finch remembering that harsh beating she gotten before running away with her Egg Donor yelling how she disowned her as a Daughter, but at the same time happy because if she didn't than she wouldn't have met the Rangers, Tantula, or any of the Monster/Demon Friends she'd made. "But while by current training is being put on hold, I can still work on my back-up dream of being a Graphic Novelist." She added since her and Jake's dream careers are sort of the same with a few differences as she'd always had a knack for drawing.

"So, what if I told you that instead of drawing Heroes, you could become one." Mr. Stockley said grabbing both their attention.

"I-I would say that you were trying to sell my something." Jake said thinking that the older man was messing with him.

"And I would say you're pulling my leg since I hardly see myself as the Hero type." Weslyn added crossing her arms as she recalled some of the adventures she'd been on back in the Monster Realm, but those were mostly tied with either business, school, or her friends but still, she only saw herself more of a part of a rag-tag group of misfits just doing their best to get things done.

"You know Felix, Hayley." Mr. Stockley said as he gestured up towards the bleachers showing the two were sitting there the whole time.

"What are you doing here? You flunk the Altitude Test too?" Jake asked wondering why they were here as both Freshmen got up and made their way down.

Next thing that happens was Mr. Stockley pulling out a small device before scanning the both of them. 'What was that all about?' Weslyn thought feeling uncomfortable as both Hayley and Felix began patting them. 'Better watch those hands if you want to keep them~' she mentally growled as she already had enough with people checking out her Human body but also made her wonder what reaction they would have if they saw her Monster form as well her true Alien form since she wasn't just a Halfling, but a Mixling.

"What the heck was that!?" Jake questioned he was scanned before getting patted down as well.

"Just making sure nobody's listening. Gotta keep our secrets." Felix said with a smile as he finished patting Jake seeing as both him and Weslyn were clear of any listening devices.

"You guys most really take this Altitude Test thing seriously." Jake concluded as he was completely lost here.

"I don't think this has anything to do with Altitude Tests at all." Weslyn said since she seen/read similar things like this in Movies and Books about how some secret groups use something simple like Tests or Video footage to find new members to their ranks.

"She's right Jake, there's a test within the test. A hidden test that gages from other unique abilities, extraordinary Altitudes. Now both of your test scores were the highest we have ever seen." Mr. Stockley said allowing them to let it sink in. "I didn't believe that we would be getting TWO new members, especially until you broke open that Dumb-Melon and Doof-Pear. Do you know how many people choose those fruits much less figure out how to open them." He added chuckling a little since now many recruits in the past pick those due to either their names or difficulty to open.

"No, wait, did I eat something called a 'Dumb-Melon' while she ate something called a 'Doof-Pear'!?" Jake question feeling like he'd been insulted by some fruit.

"Okay, those can't be their actual names?" Weslyn added knowing that no kind on fruit or vegetable would have a dumb name like that, and she's eaten things with even dumber names!

"The both of you were made to be part of the Troop." Mr. Stockley simply answered, the smile never leaving his face since was something that rarely happens in Troop history.

"We fight Monsters." Hayley said getting both of them to widen their eyes at what she just said, for Jake it was disbelief but for Weslyn, she was now starting to sweat nervously thinking that they knew what she really is!

"Don't panic Weslyn, I'm sure they don't have anything on you. I mean, why would Lynx's Stepsister be living in this Human Realm if they were just going to send you back?" Nyx said bringing up a very sounded point because why go through the trouble of sending her to the Human Realm near the end of Summer while also filling out the paperwork to enroll her into a Human Highschool if they were just going to send her back anyway?

"You're kidding right?" Jake asked with a smirk thinking that they were just pranking him getting the only Adult in the room to chuckle.

"Not at all." Mr. Stockley suddenly said in a serious voice. "We're part of a Secret Worldwide Organization that's dedicated to keeping the World safe from Monsters." He explained as his smile returned.

"Sorry about that whole flooding your Locker making us Lab-partners thing, just thought it would have been easier to have an excuse to hang out together when we finally teamed up." Felix apologized revealing that he was the one who sabotaged the pipe that drenched all of Jake's books.

"You know you could have just asked right, since what you did made you look desperate. And I know desperation when I see it." Weslyn stated since what she said was no joke since her brother-figure Blasko once shrunk her friends and turned her entire skin Blue out of fear losing his BSF, Best Sister Friend, since Demons and Monsters do a LOT of crazy things when they're missing someone. Same with her Girlfriends when she started making new friends from either School or Work in since all of them were an outcast at one point before things slowly gotten better.

"T-This is a LOT to take in." Jake said since what he was told was really overwhelming.

"Want to see something amazing?" Mr. Stockley asked leaning over. "Show him." He said getting Felix to chuckle as he took something out of his pocket.

"Boo-yah-ka-sha~" the Glasses wearing Boy said before pressing a button on a device causing it the beep loudly.

CRR-EEEEAAAAAAKKKKK! ! !~

The floor under them creaked before slowly opening as different Animal-like sounds could soon be heard as everyone looked down to see a bunch of different kinds of creatures kept within holding cells like you would see in a Sci-fi Movie.

"Whoa~" Jake said speechless at what he was seeing.

Meanwhile Weslyn was looking all the different Monsters standing right under them, some she recognized while some she never seen before. 'Husking Drak, Kaiju, Shrieking Wrynn, Stalking Stickman, whoa these guys are good.' She thought listing some of the Monsters she knows since she either fought and/or studied them for either School or her Apprenticeship under Tantula.

Looking up at them was a Reddish-Brownish Slug-like Monster before launching itself up before coming into contact with extremely thick glass as Orange slime oozed against the invisible surface as it gnaws showing its circular mouth full of sharp needle-like teeth before falling back downward as the slime changed from Orange, to Violet, to Sky-Blue.

Jake gasped taking a step back from the sudden 'attack' before looking towards the three while Weslyn glance at them but kept her eyes on the Monsters below them.

"I know that look, you're thinking somewhere along the line that 'these guys are crazy keeping some of the most aggressive Monsters under a School full of defenseless Humans' or something like that which is true." Nyx stated since through her 'Student's' eyes she can see some of the most aggressive Monsters like that Slug Monster and Ratadon for example as the floor began closing.

"No way!" Jake stated in disbelief trying to comprehend what he was being told/shown.

"Monsters are real Jake, they've always been here all around you your whole life. Throughout time, Troops have been there to keep Monsters from taking over." Hayley explained helping him understand the situation.

"Do you remember that Giant Moth attack from two years ago?" Felix asked getting Jake to think about while Weslyn looked over towards them.

"I only moved here two Months ago so I am at a lost." She stated as she sweated a bit since she was also part Papillion Monster as well as seeing a couple of different Giant Moth Species back home.

"No." Jake simply answered since he doesn't recall anything from said attack unless it was something from an old Movie, Game, or Comic.

"Exactly, we stopped it. We're that good." The Tan-skinned teen added with a silent 'Whaaaat' gesture before stepping aside to let the Administrator speak.

"We would like the two of you to join us." Mr. Stockley started offering two Cards only to quickly pull them back. "But think about it carefully. It's a big responsibility as well as incredibly dangerous, you don't get paid~" he added as Felix stepped up.

"And you can't tell anybody about it." He stated with a serious tone since this Organization had to be kept secret for a reason.

"But you get to hunt Monsters?" Jake asked now sounding interested judging by the excitement in his voice.

"Well, yeah. But-" Hayley started only for the inspiring Comic Artist to snatch one of the cards.

"I'm in! When do we start?" Jake asked excitedly now wanting to hear anything else.

"I think you should at least hear what they're trying to say Jake. Because this isn't a Comic Book, this is real life." Weslyn said getting Mr. Stockley to smile at her.

"I see that we have someone who knows the dangers of the job, no wonder Katherine recommended you to the team." The dark-skinned Man said getting the young Witch-in-training to widen her eyes. "Don't worry, your Secret is yours to tell." He added whispering into her ear since she had no idea her Aunt was even a part of the Troop.

"Wait, Katherine? As in Katherine Hyde the Troop's top Monster Physiologist as well as Monster Behavior Expert?" Hayley asked since she read about her when she was first recruited.

"Katherine Hyde as in voted as one of Troop's hottest Agent in both mind and body, that Katherine Hyde?!" Felix exclaimed with his voice becoming high as he was going all fan-boy crazy.

"W-Well she's m-my Aunt, but only by Marriage." Weslyn stated as her cheeks blushed embarrassed since Tantula said her Stepsister was a Doctor so she just assumed she works at either a Hospital or Clinic.

"He's right about that part of her having the 'hottest body' huhu~" Nyx giggled causing the disguised Monster Girl's blush to become even redder

"Who's Katherine Hyde?" Jake asked confused before Mr. Stockley cleared his throat since they were getting off track here.

"Now then Weslyn, what do you say?" he asked as all eyes were now on her making her feel really nervous.

'W-What should I do!? I-I'm not cut out for the whole Hero thing!' Weslyn was having a bit of a mental breakdown as she continued spiraling. 'I-I mean the whole Hero bit belongs to that Bastard's Family! A-A-And I've severed ties with him and that Bitch he called an Ex-Wife for a reason! But then again it has been a while since I've last fought a wild Monster… OH MAN, WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO!? !? !?' she cried out feeling conflicted about this decision.

On one hand, if she joins then it will prove to be a serious kick to the balls move for her former 'Father' showing that he was wronged about her. But on the other hand, if she says no then it would feel like she was insulting her Aunt since she was the one who recommended her to this team.

Sensing that her Magic was starting to act hay-wired, Nyx decided to step in before she accidently hurt someone, again. "Weslyn listen! You've came a long way since arriving to the Monster Realm as a little girl, and you're going to let some decision get to you? NO!" she exclaimed as she started listing her points. "Learning the truth about your 'real' birth Father, almost losing Tantula to her curse, nearly getting killed dozens of times, and getting kidnapped to be sold as a slave didn't stop you before even with all the physical, mental, and emotional impact each of them had couldn't keep you down! So WHY LET THIS ONE?!" she yelled in a voice of encouragement reminding her Student of all the hardships she fought! The trials she overcame! The heartwarming loves! And the heartbreaking lost!

Hearing Nyx say that made her recall everything she been through, the Friends she made, the Enemies she fought, the Girls she had made part of her Family, her REAL FAMILY!

"Look here Wes, you may had been both a frail fragile Human, but now you are an ass-kicking Witchling with Spider-Beast, Succubi, AND Butterfly Monster coursing through your veins along with your natural Anodite and Ectonurite abilities as those make you a literal Double-D, a Deadly Damsel!" Nyx added snapping the girl out of her inner turmoil.

"Thank Nyx, but did you really have to bring my Cup-size into this?" Weslyn asked feeling a little embarrassed since she was more developed than most girls at this School.

"What? It sounded better than 'Fierce Flirt' since that is your real size, even though you're still growing hmhm~" Nyx stated giggling at the end causing the young Witchling's blush to become darker since it was true.

"Okay, I-I'll try my best." Weslyn stuttered giving her answer.

"Good." Mr. Stockley said handing her card to her. "Both of you can start today." He added with a smile as the team now has two new members.

/ / / / /

Deep in the Forest Jake was walking as he checked his card trying to figure out how it works since it looked like a rectangular piece of plastic with a metal chip as well as a Red Triangle symbol made of three separate lines.

Hearing the sound of rustling leaves, he quickly looked around only to spot a Squirrel. Playing it off as his imagination, he continued walking only to hear the small Mammal release a frighten squeak causing him to quickly look back to see that the Squirrel was now turned to stone.

"SQU-AAOOOORR!~"

Jake heard a strange squawking sound as he thought he just seen something speed by. Picking up the stoned Squirrel, he quickly made his way back to the School to tell the others.

"SQU-AAOOOORR! ! !"

"AAAA-AAAAHHHHH! ! !" Hearing the sound again, this time louder and closer, the Rookie Troop member began running in the other direction as the creature began chasing him down. Fearing for his life, Jake took a quick look behind him only to be unable to get a good look at the creature chasing him before running over a ledge. "AAA-AAAAAHHHH! ! !" he screamed as he fell over onto the ground below.

"What's your problem Freak-show?" a Man voice asked tauntingly getting Jake to look over to see his nasty Neighbor who took his sketch this morning sitting in a lounge chair making him realized that he probably tripped over a log or something.

"I was just being chased by something horrible!" Jake huffed catching his breath as he pushed himself back up.

"Well, I'd would've said it was my Wife, but she's out of Town." The Volunteered Policeman stated as he got up from his chair while Jake looked around, still shaken up from what happened. "Look, I know you're not officially on my lawn so I'm warning ya. Stay off near my lawn." He sternly stated not caring about how scared the teen felt right now.

"I-I'll go, but it's not much of a lawn. All patchy of Crab-grass." Jake stated insulting the Man's lawn since he was no help at all before walking away.

"When you get a lawn of your own you can judge! Now get out of here!" the Man exclaimed since he cares about his lawn more than his own Wife, who he doesn't know is still around the back of the house.

/ / / / /

"It's defiantly a Monster." Jake said showing Felix, Hayley, and Weslyn the stone Squirrel he picked up in the Forest yesterday as they walked through the hallway of the School.

"Actually, Squirrels are not Monsters Jake." Felix started as Hayley opened the door to the Janitor's Closet.

"He meant what done this to the Squirrel Felix. The fact that they can turn their victim to stone would have been obvious to you smart guy." Weslyn said with a smirk getting the Glasses wearing boy to nearly trip over while Hayley and Jake chuckled at that burn.

Once making sure the coast was clear, all four Freshmen entered the closet before closing the door. Inside Hayley began moving stuff out of the way while handing a few items to the other three.

"Very clever, I always thought this was an actual barf bucket." Jake said surprise as he was handed a Light-Blue bucket that had seen better days.

"That because it is." Hayley said getting him to quickly sat it down somewhere as she moved a picture out of the way revealing a hidden keypad before pressing her card against it before beeping as the wall opened up revealing a secret elevator.

"So that's what that card does." Jake said in awe once seeing the hidden entrance to the Base.

"This is so like how every Spy Movie or Novel starts out." Weslyn said feeling her fan-girlish side squealing in excitement due to her love of Mystery/Fantasy Novels that inspired her to become a Witch in the first place.

"That not all the cards does. I sometimes use mine to wedge out stuck batteries. Being a Troop member has its perks." Felix added with a smile as they entered the elevator as Hayley pressed the button making them go down to their hidden Base.

Walking out, Jake and Weslyn had looks of awe on their faces for different reasons. For Jake it was how cool the place looked with its stone walls and high-tech Computers while Weslyn was feeling amazed since after years of getting used to Crystal Balls, Bird-phones, and Magical Scrolls she forgotten how advanced technology was since she hadn't seen it since her Original Realm where Humans and Aliens co-exist with each other.

Sitting down at two of the computers, Felix and Hayley began typing as Mr. Stockley entered. "The two of you will be spending a lot of time down here." He said addressing towards Jake and Weslyn since they were new. "Now the chairs may be uncomfortable, but that's because we've spent all money here on the Troop Grid." He added gesturing towards the largest computer in the room surrounded by a bunch of smaller computers. "We've used this to monitor levels of Monsters activities around the World, access our Data-base, and communicate with other Troops" He explained getting both of them to look in wonder.

It was at that moment a few of the screens changed showing a few Teams from different parts of the World. "Now there's Peng-Ni and her team from Beijing." The Lakewood Adult Officer introduced as one of the teams from Asia waved in greeting. "And there's Maurizio and his {team} from Rome. Hey Maurizio, {How's it going over there?}" Mr. Stockley asked speaking one of the many languages from Europe as the Rome Troop greeted them. "Eh! Ciao Maurizio!" he suddenly said before the other adult could answer.

(AN: Again, I'm not good at writing/spelling/translating other Languages and I don't want to come off as rude so this {} with anything between them will be that Language so if you are fluid or have knowledge with that Language, than good for you because I am completely clueless.)

Both Lakewood Rookies gave him either questioning or confused looks on why he hung up so quickly? "If you get him talking, he will never stop." He explained since they have a Monster to deal with so there was no time for Socializing before another screen beeped. "And here's my Mom~" he said with a loving tone as his Mother waved. "She thinks I have my own Tv Show. And we'll be right back!" he said doing the classic Game Host's sign-off before commercial getting Jake to chuckle and his Mother to clap before cutting off.

"She seems nice." Weslyn said with her hands in her Hoodie pockets seeing as her own Birth Mother never supported her but that was all behind her now.

"So, based on its ability to turn things to stone, I think we can narrow it down the Monster that chased you to one of these five potential Monster Species." Mr. Stockley said as the Troop Grid shown some Monsters with this type of ability. "Cockatrice," show a picture of a Monster that looks like a Tannish-Brown Jellyfish covered with Black spots. "Ambezian," show a picture of an Orange Humanoid-like creature with a small head and long tube-like neck and tentacle-like arms. "Medusa," shows an ancient picture of a Woman with pale Green skin, Snakes for hair, and a huge and long Snake tail lower body which quickly caught Weslyn attention.

'They should update that since Medusa and Gorgons hardly look like that anymore.' She thought since her one of her Girlfriends, Koral, is a Semi-aquatic Sub-species of Mudusa but also thinking that their pictures might be a little mixed up or the names since she seen some of those from the Beast-Keeping Track at Black Rune.

"Basilisk," show picture of a Raptor-like Monster that look like a cross between an Ovirapter and Rooster. "And Calimobie." Show a picture of a creature with a Spiral Shell and three Insectoid-like legs as Mr. Stockley finished listing the Monsters with the ability to turn their victims into stone.

"I'm moving us to Monster Con-3." Hayley announced as she finished typing as an alarm went off.

"What's that?" Jake asked as he walked over to the desk.

"It means a direct threat exists. It's all right here is your Troop Manual, it's a little old but the information is still good." Mr. Stockly explained handing both Rookies a book.

'And a little misguided.' Weslyn mentally mumbled as she looked over the paper-back which basically looked like the Novels she has in her room. "So, I'm guessing the threat level is in reverse scale with 5 being the minimum while 1 is the maximum?" she asked since the Monster Con level was at 5 before being changed into a 3.

"Exactly, look at you already climbing the rope." Felix said impressed with the tanned-skin girl's deduction.

"Read this as this is important since Troops has used this for years. Why don't you guys show Jake and Weslyn around a bit, and I'll keep checking to see if there's more I can uncover." Mr. Stockley instructed as he walked over to the Troop Grid as Hayley and Felix got up to show the two around.

"I'll take you two on a tour of our holding cells. It's completely safe." Hayley said with a cheery smile as she handed them some full-body Cover-alls.

"What do I need this for?" Jake asked not understanding as the Blonde walked away.

"To keep our clothes from getting ruined, how are we going to explain to people why we're covered in Monster goo or spit?" Weslyn stated as she started putting the cover-alls on.

/ / / / /

Hayley, Jake, and Weslyn now dressed in their cover-alls walked through the holding cells with the only boy carrying an Orange tote along with an Orange box as the Monsters began making their natural noises of grunt, growls, snort, and chirps until they were blast with Blue slime by a Monster with a head-cold.

"Gross, now I'm starting to see why you had us wear these." Jake stuttered as he was just blasted with Monster snot.

"Well, Jake, Weslyn, this is where we keep the Monsters." Hayley started as she picked up the box that fell off the tote before handing it to the female recruit. "They're safe, well taken care of, this way they can't hurt anybody or each other." She explained just before one of the Monsters next to them spat saliva over them while shrieking.

"Hmm, a Shrieking Wrynn and this one's still young." Nyx hummed as she and Weslyn looked up to see a creature that looked to be a cross between a Bat and a Pterosaur the size of a Cat-crate flying around its cell since those species are the size of a Llama when full grown.

"And judging by the different sizes some are either full grown adults or younglings still in their adulation stage of life." Weslyn said looking around to see a couple Monsters she's familiar with since they live in her Home on the wayside of the Boiling Isles.

"Yes, some choose to reform their ways so they can co-exist with us. For example, Big Foot, Loch Ness Monster, Wolf-men, some of them, don't bother anybody anymore. But others…" Hayley explained before they were all covered in dust due to standing in front of the cell of a large Earth burling Monster. "…not so much. Each Troop is tasked with keeping its Town and designated area Monster free." She added as a large Purple tentacle shot from one of the cells behind them grab a wagon before crushing it like an empty soda can dropping it on the floor.

"As well as the People living there since these creatures would make what you see in Horror Movies look like bedtime stories in comparison." Weslyn stated while speaking from personal experience from facing against wild and untamed Monsters, not to mention some of those times she nearly bit it if she didn't have her Family and Friends watching her back before the three teens were spat on by another, much smaller Monster.

"Yeah, and there are Thousands of Troops out there just like ours all over the World." The Blonde girl explained with a smile on her face, happy to have been chosen for this.

"And no one even knows, wow!" Jake exclaimed as he was very impressed by all this while Weslyn turned her head.

"That's because if the whole World finds out Monsters are real, then it would be mass panic, and Troops won't be able to protect them in secret because of how dangerous it is. Especially if your Friends and Family are constantly worrying about you not to mention the People out there who will use these creatures for their own personal gain." She explained since some of these Monsters are just following their natural instincts, just like Animals do here, some are just trying to survive in a Realm completely different from their natural habitats knowing how it felt to be an outsider as well feeling like you never belong here in the first place.

"And… all these Troops are made up of Teenagers just like us?" the male Rookie asked now understanding what Weslyn meant since just like Heroes in Comic Books, they would also have to keep things like this a secret to protect those close to them.

"Yeah." Hayley started before they were all sneezed on this time by two other Monsters, one who snot was clear while the others was Coffee-Black. "We're chosen because we're still able to… think in ways that Adults can't." she tried explaining it in a way that might make sense before placing her arms in front of the new recruits as a smaller Blue/Lavender colored tentacle wiggled in front of them.

"Snatching Gripopus, sneaky fellas that grab whatever is in front of them. Also, very grabby even when the tentacle comes off." Nyx said with Weslyn nodding in agreement though she only seen the tentacles themselves but never the body their connected to.

Jake released a deep breath since he was the closest when that tentacle almost grabbed. "You know those things that you saw under your bed and in your closet when you were little, and your Parents just say they're clothes and toys?" Hayley asked getting him to think about it.

"Yeah." He simply answered looking at her.

"Those were Monsters." The Blonde simply answer before walking with Weslyn following right behind.

"I knew it!" Jake exclaimed to himself knowing that what he saw back as a kid wasn't his imagination as he started walking after her but not before getting barfed on by the first Monster as he was now getting covered with Blue vomit, really glad he's wearing these cover-alls since he would have to burn his own clothes if he didn't.

/ / / / /

After taking off their cover-alls, as well as a quick disinfecting shower, the three enter another part of the Base to see Felix working on one of the many Weapons on the table.

"Now this is what I'm talking about." Jake said excitedly looking at all the Weapons from Blasters to Hand-cannons to others.

"This is our New Technologies Room, this is a high-tension Plasma Sensor, this is a Freeze-ray, Night-vision Goggles." Felix listed as he finished cleaning the Plasma Sensor before placing it on a stand.

"Communications Device?" Jake asked picking something up before pressing it against his ear.

"Not if you think Teeth and Gums can talk." Weslyn said getting Felix and Hayley to look over to see what they were talking about.

"No that's actually my Retainer." The glasses wearing Teen said causing Jake to put it down while recoiling in disgust since he put that in his ear.

"Sorry." The male Rookie apologized since that was weird for Felix as it was for him as the tan-skinned boy began cleaning his dental-piece. Turning away from the awkward moment, he spotted something that caught his attention. "What's that?" he asked walking over to what looks to be a Shooting Range as he picked a small hand-held Blaster.

"Hold on Jake!" Hayley called as she quickly walked over as he looked the weapon over trying to figure out how it works. "You can't just pick that up and make it work! It takes years to get certified so don't expect it to just-!" she sternly stated only to be interrupted when Jake got the Blaster to turn on before firing four blasts at four incoming targets knocking three of them down while kicking up a lot of smoke. "Again… Education's overrated." she added completely speechless by what she just saw.

"Talk about a lot of power packed into a small item." Weslyn said with wide eyes feeling that Mr. Stockley may have a point about Jake being made for the Troop.

"Only seen excellent marksmanship from either the highly skilled or naturally gifted…" Nyx added with her own stunned tone only having seen talent like that from the Witches, Wizards, and Warriors of her Era as well as the Honor Students from Weslyn's old School.

"You've missed one." Felix stated as he stepped up but was still three out of four is very impressive for someone's first time firing a Blaster.

"Wait for it…" Jake started raising a finger as the fourth target slowly fell over onto the floor along with the others. "This is going to be so cool." He said with an excited smile since he'll be living the life just like the Heroes in his Comics.

"He's way better than Kevin ever was, by the way…" Hayley whispered to Felix once getting over her stunned expression as the Glasses wearing teen slowly nodded in agreement.

"Who's Kevin?" Jake asked wondering who that is.

"Is he also on the Team?" Weslyn followed wondering if this Kevin person was here as well as knowing that most Teams/Squads/Cells have the minimum of 3-to-5 members, each with an important role for that team as well.

Looking down sadly, Felix decides to explain. "He's a Troop member you guys replaced, as well… as my… best friend. He's gone now." He said in a sad tone as he was emotionally hurting right now thinking about his old friend/teammate as the Blonde girl patted his back.

"I'm so sorry Felix, we didn't mean to bring up something so personal." Weslyn apologized feeling terrible about bringing up a sore subject since she had also lost friends, mentors, as well as Family-figures over the past few years.

"Taken out by Monsters?" Jake asked feeling bad for replacing a teammate that they may have recently lost.

"Moved to Delaware, God, I miss him." Felix sighed getting both Rookies to sweat drop.

'Seriously? HE GOT US FEELING SORRY ABOUT A FRIEND MOVING AWAY WHILE WE THOUGHT HE WAS DEAD! ! !' the Witch-in-training mentally screamed in anger since she hates it when someone plays with her emotions! The emotionally rage quickly caused her Magic to send a pulse towards the rack on the wall causing all the Weapons hanging on it to spark.

"Well, now that I'm part of the Troop, we'll be hanging out together." Jake said since even though he was a bit dramatic about it, he couldn't stay mad since the smart one of the team still lost his best friend.

"That's why I made this Friendship schedule!" Felix quickly said pulling a folded piece of paper out of his pocket which caused Jake's smiling face to falter realizing why he even said anything while Hayley.

"HA! This guy is almost as bad as you were when making friends!" Nyx laughed while teasing Weslyn causing the disguised Monster Girl to blush in embarrassment but that was her Birth Mother's fault for keeping her in isolated by forcing her to attend different Private Schools and never letting her socialize went any other kids her age since it was always study, study, study day in and day out! "One time you even chained yourself and Mixa to your tree-fort when you thought she was moving all the way to the Foot of the Boiling Isle when her family was just moving across Town to a bigger House!" she continued laughing causing her student's blush to darken since the other Witchling was the very first friend she made upon arriving to the Monster Realm.

"Now, on Tuesdays we'll watch Movies, on Fridays we'll have Sleepovers and Jake… Jake?... Jake?!" Felix listed never noticing the three leaving the room until he looked up to see them walking away. "Tonight, I'm cooking Chicken Ferritin! Jake?!" he called only for them to already be out of earshot before the Weapons on the wall rack began sparking before falling apart onto the floor wondering how that even happen?

/ / / / /

That afternoon in Jake's Neighborhood the nasty Mr. Burker was sitting in his lounge-chair playing with the Paddleball from his crate of confiscated toys with a smug smile on his face as he kept paddling away.

"SQU-AAAOOORRR!"

The sound of a weird bird caught his attention as he tried ignoring it but his curiosity got the better of him.

"SQU-AAAOOORRR! !"

Hearing the sound again, this time louder, he got up from his chair. "Ethel?" he called as he walked towards the Forest behind his house. "Ethel? What the heck are you doing out here?" he questioned in a stern tone before taking his Glasses off upon seeing his Wife's stone frozen body.

"SQU-AAOORR!"

Hearing the strange sound close by, Mr. Burker dropped his glasses out of fear as he panicky looked around, not knowing that he was being stalked as the Creature got ready to strike while he stepped back in fear.

/ / / / /

Lying in bed listening to music, Jake was currently ready the chapter in his Troop Manual titled 'MONSTERS Vs. COMMIES; Who's the Real Danger?' until the sounds of his nasty Neighbor's cries of terror as well the call of a Creature attacking drew his attention before shrugging his shoulders before going back to reading.

/ / / / /

Walking through the Forest, Jake decided to check out the noise from earlier anyway as he got a gut feeling that something wasn't right. "Mr. Burker?" he questioned spotting his Neighbor's Glasses before picking them up and looked around wondering what happened before spotting the Man turned to stone with a look of terror over his face.

Reaching over to touch the frozen Man, he snapped the ponytail off causing the inspiring Artist to step backward in shock. "Don't freak. Don't freak." He told himself trying to remain calm before knocking into the stoned Mrs. Burker knocking her head right of her shoulders and onto the ground scaring him even more.

"SQU-AAOORR!~"

Hearing the sound of the same Monster that chased him yesterday, Jake knew exactly what he had to do. "AAA-AAAAAAAAHHHHHH! ! !" he screamed while running the heck out of the Forest to get the team together!

/ / / / /

In the Troop Base everyone was looking at the piece of stoned hair knowing that things had now gotten dire.

"Now if what you heard was right, then it can only be a Basilisk." Mr. Stockley said before clicking a button causing the Troop Grid's Basilisk Information to appear on the screen. "Which means there is only 48hours from the time of attack before the victim is turned to stone forever." He added since one had already been turned to stone since yesterday.

"Basilisks are also sometimes called Cockatrice due to the near similarities as well being in the same Family-group but the former is more Serpent to Dragon-like while the latter is more of a Dragon-Avian hybrid in appearance with the feathers and Chicken-like head." Weslyn added in having read some of the books from her old home to refresh her knowledge on Monsters. "But either of those Species are much more native to either a large body of water like a Lake or Lagoon as well as Mountain ranges, so the fact the this of is living in the Forest shows that it's a Lesser Sub-species. But like all Basilisk and Cockatrice, they are aggressively territorial and had claimed the Forest as its territory and will attack anything it sees as a threat." She added getting everyone to look at her.

"Wow, that is just… wow." Felix said speechless feeling like he found the love of his life since he knew a lot about Monsters, but this girl's knowledge is on a whole different level.

"But wait, I thought Cockatrice were Jellyfish-looking?" Jake questioned completely lost since he saw the picture himself.

"Clearly the names may had gotten mixed up or something else." Hayley said impressed with the new girl's knowledge despite only being recruited yesterday.

"Let focus on the current Basilisk at hand for now." Mr. Stockley said thinking that the Troop Manual might be a little more outdated than he thought.

"Right!" Felix exclaimed snapping his fingers. "Mirrors, Basilisk Kryptonite." He stated grabbing a nearby table mirror. "Oddly they love Kryptonite, can't get enough. Ironic right?" He added chuckling at that little humor.

"Felix. Mirrors." The Blonde Troop member sternly said getting her glasses wearing teammate to focus.

"So, you take the mirror and POW! Basilisk down for the count." The tan-skinned Boy explained flashing the mirror's glaze into Jake's face to further prove how effective they are.

"Not to mention annoying when you try using it to blind someone." Weslyn sternly said with her arms cross getting Felix to put the mirror down upon seeing the irritated look on Jake's face.

Once the spots left his eyes, Jake decided to voice his own plan of action. "Actually, I was thinking we could charge into the woods, Freeze-ray blast it, and-" he started saying while picking up a Multi-Energy Blaster before getting interrupted.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa! Easy there Texer, first of all I'm leading this charge!" Hayley said in an authorial tone taking the large Weapon from him.

"Secondly you can't freeze a Basilisk, its only get them mad. Didn't you read your Field Manual?" Felix asked since that information was right in the Manual given to him just yesterday.

"I… didn't get that far yet." Jake admitted getting everyone to look at him questioningly since the 'Basilisk' section of the book was one of the many first pages in alphabetical order.

"Basilisk starts with a B." the glasses wearing boy stated since it was one on the Monsters that is around the start of the 'B-Section' within the Monster Information part of the Manual.

"I'm a slow reader." The Rookie simply stated since he was more into reading comic books than actual books.

"Just how far did you get anyway?" Weslyn asked with a raised eyebrow since she just skimmed through the Manual to those five Species Mr. Stockley listed and she was right since some of the information was mixed up.

Rubbing the back of his sheepishly, the inspiring Comic Artist gave them the name of the Monster he last read. "Acid Crawler." He simply said getting everyone to give him deadpanned looks seeing he only got through the first few pages.

"Then just follow us." Hayley said handing him an equipment belt along with Weslyn.

"So, hang on tight." Felix added saying words of encouragement seeing as their new teammates will be dealing one of the mildly dangerous Monsters in Troop history.

"Watch your back Weslyn, Lesser Species or not Basilisks are smart cunning creatures when it comes to dealing with outsiders of their territory." Nyx advised as Weslyn looked at the picture again along with the basic information like Size and Weight.

"You're right Nyx, judging by it built, this Lesser Basilisk is made for speed as well as running on land. And from the way Jake described his last encounter that it is a stalk and ambush attacker." Weslyn mentally stated agreeing with her tenant meaning that the team will have to be extra careful before putting on her belt.

"To what?" Jake asked wondering what Felix meant by 'hang on tight' as the team began moving.

His question was soon answered as were soon speeding through the underground corridor on ATVs with Weslyn riding with Hayley holding on tightly from how fast they were moving.

'I rode Staffs as well as Wild Monsters and even Raav, but I've never been on any of these things before!' the Witch-in training mentally screamed holding onto Hayley for dear life as tears leaked from her eyes. 'I will never get used to advance Human Technology!' she cried pressing her very endowed breasts into the Blonde girl's back as she held on even tighter since even though her old Home had Human Technology, some of it was all stuff dropped into their Realm originating from between the 1770s to the 1990s so the knowledge on that was somewhat limited since everything else was either powered by Magic, Natural Elements, or Crystals depending on what powers them.

Ironic that a Girl who originated from a highly advanced Human Realm would be afraid of something that to them would be consider obsolete. But that's what happens when you spent the second half of your childhood within a Realm of Monsters and Magic that you've gotten so used to it that you've forgotten about how things worked.

Meanwhile Hayley was blushing from feeling the newest female Troop member's gifted assets pressing into her back. 'Dang her breasts are big.' She thought feeling both embarrassed as well as envious of the Tanned-skin Girl's chest since she's a borderline B-to-C-cup while the girl behind her was a borderline D-to-E-cup.

Reaching the end of the corridor, the wall opened up allowing the four to exit out of the Base before speeding off towards the Forest to deal with a dangerous threat.

/ / / / /

Once arriving to the scene of the Attacks, the first thing to do was reattaching Mrs. Burker's head to her body.

"Duct Tape? That's your high-tech solution?" Jake questioned as Hayley finished taping up the stoned woman's neck since they were fixing her up like a lot of broken things duct tape was used for.

"Duct Tape was a Troop Invention from 1918, it's all in the Manual." The Girl stated tossing the roll of tape towards Felix who barely managed to catch it.

"Okay Jake, Weslyn, if you hear something shut your eyes immediately." He advised before putting the duct tape back into the gear-bag.

"And then what?" Jake asked wanting to know what to do next since he wasn't looking to be nearly attacked a third time.

"Run, of course." Felix simply said causing the two to quickly look annoyed.

"How am I supposed to shut my eyes and run?!" he questioned since no one could run while having their eyes closed.

"In case you forgotten we can't use Echolocation plus it will just make it easier for the Basilisk to ambush us since they can attack from any directions!" Weslyn stated since this kind of non-sense was what nearly got her killed when someone hired her for a fake Quest, or a mean joke meant to make either her and/or her friends look like complete fools, and she was not going to fall for it a 27th time! "If this is some joke, I'll personally make you regret it. Like the old saying goes, fool me once shame on you, but fool me 26 times then shame on me." She added crossing her arms with a huff making the other three look at her in confusion, each with a different thought.

'Just who is this Girl? Back at the Base she was being all smart but now she's acting like a kid in Elementary?' Hayley thought that while she's happy to have another girl on the team, she was beginning to question the Black hair Girl's mental state of mind.

'Glad I'm not the only one who thinks this is crazy.' Jake thought since he was also fooled in the past, mostly by his little sister Phoebe, but still not as much as she just said.

'Awweee~ She looks so cute when she's mad~' Felix thought looking at the face she was currently making but that's her slightly annoyed face, not knowing that her REAL Mad face would make even the Monsters back at the Base pee themselves, before snapping out of his thoughts, he decided to explain. "It's in the Manual. OW, and crow like a Rooster, Basilisks hate the sound of Rooster crowing." He added clicking his tongue and winked before carrying a large Blaster before heading towards his position already knowing what to do.

That only caused Weslyn to deadpan thinking that he can't be serious.

"He's kidding, right?" Jake asked looking towards Hayley thinking that this might be some joke since there is no way a Monster would be scared of something as silly as a Bird call.

"When it comes to Monsters, Felix doesn't kid." She simply said before handing both of them a mirror. "Take these and plant them over on that ridge behind some bushes. We'll draw the Basilisk towards one of the mirrors with these Pulse Blasters, then at the last second pull back the bush. The Basilisk will see its reflection and turn to stone, then everything returns to normal, easy peasy." She instructed while simply explaining the plan.

"Hey, I have an idea! You plant the mirror, and I'll that the Blaster." Jake suggested since he really want to chase down and blast some Monsters like an RPG Monster Fighting Game.

"Heh, nice try. Now get going, we're burning daylight." She said flatly since they need to deal with this Monster quickly as possible. "Oh, um, and practice your Rooster noises." She added getting him to frown before going to plant his mirrors.

"Except Basilisk are smart creatures so who to say the mirrors won't work?" Weslyn questioned feeling that this plan was terrible, and she should know since she thought of a bunch of terrible plans that either never work or literally blow up in her face, so they are going to need a back-up plan incase this one fails.

"Please, Troops have been dealing with Basilisks for Centuries since they're one of the first Monsters the Troop recorded, so I think we know just what we're doing." The Blonde girl said in a mighty tone placing a hand on her hip with a smirk on her face.

"Fine little Ms. Perfect, but if your plan fails and you get turned to stone, don't say I didn't try to warn you." Weslyn said as she could already guess what kind of person her team's 'leader' is while walking over to her position.

"That girl needs to learn a little bit of humility as well as a quick ego adjustment." Nyx said 'glaring' at Ms. High and Mighty since this plan was never going to work.

"Yeah, she reminds me of my Birth Mother since she's a little full of herself." Weslyn added since learning that Hayley Steele was one of the most popular Girls in school as well as a serious perfectionist along with being in many, MANY, of the Schools Clubs, Afterschool Activity Programs, and so many others that she could be described as a Workaholic.

"Maybe a little pranking would straighten her mood~" Nyx said playfully already coming up with ideas.

"AFTER we deal with this Lesser Basilisk." The disguised Monster Girl stated since there is still a Wild Monster to deal with.

/ / / / /

"Cucka-cuckar-aaarrr~" Jake called practicing his rooster crow while looking at the mirror in his hands as he been sitting for what felt like hours.

"[Hey Jake, are you there!?]" Felix's voice called getting the rookie to look at his new Wrist Communicator showing the glasses wearing teen's face on the tiny screen.

"Did you see the Basilisk?!" Jake quickly asked thinking that the Monster might be nearby.

"[No, just wanted to go over tonight's Sleepover Menu. How do you feel about S-mores?]" he asked before getting interrupted.

"SQU-AAOORR!"

The sound caused Jake to quickly look around knowing that the Basilisk is here.

/ / / / /

In another part of the Forest Hayley was running while talking on her Communicator. "Heads up Felix! It's coming your way!" she called before firing as she herds the Basilisk towards one of the mirrors. "Left flank, send shot so it will come right towards you!" she ordered as it was time to start phase two of the plan.

Hearing her order, Felix began firing a pulse spot in the direction he was told to fire hitting a large rock.

BOOOOOOMMM! ! !

The impact of the pulse blast made a very loud sound causing Jake to breath heavily as he heard it from his spot as well as drawing the Basilisk's attention.

Getting down towards the ground Felix began panting as he looked around.

"SQU-AAAOOORRR!"

Hearing the sound of the Basilisk's call as well the sound of something speeding around the thick vegetation, Felix quickly placed his hands over his eyes and began running.

"[Don't it's a trick!]" Weslyn warned over her Communicator only to be ignored as Felix reached the hidden spot and quickly pulled the bush up.

"AAAAAA-AAAAAAAHHHHHH! ! !" Felix released a very girlish scream while cowering behind the stump as Hayley looked at him questioningly.

"What are you doing?! It should of ran right towards you?" she questioned while looking around wondering where the Basilisk is.

Hearing the sounds of footsteps coming from behind her the Blonde quickly aimed her weapon only to see Jake and Weslyn coming out of the brush.

"Whoa hold on it's me!" Jake cried out raising his hands as the Blaster was pointed right towards him.

"I told both of you to hold your positions!" Hayley snapped as her plan was falling apart.

"Sitting didn't feel right, I felt like I needed to be here." The male rookie said with a small chuckle since everything was feeling tense.

"And I tried warning you that the Basilisk played us." Weslyn stated with an annoyed face since she was basically ignored while Hayley shook her head in annoyance and was about to scold the two rookies…

CRASH!~ shatter~

"SQU-AAAOOORRR! ! !"

… the sound of a mirror breaking as well as the Basilisk's call alerted them.

"It found a mirror." Hayley mumbled as she readied her Blaster.

CRASH!~ shatter~

"Make those mirrors, I told you it was a trick! I said Basilisks were smart creatures, but you didn't want to listen!" Weslyn stated glaring at the Blonde since her plan now got them trapped!

CRASH!~ shatter~

Hearing more sounds of mirrors breaking, the teens soon realized that the Monster had played them into its own ambush! "It's breaking them all." Felix said looking all around thinking that the Basilisk must of have pier knowledge of their plan as well knowing where they hid all the mirrors.

"You were right, its tricked us and is breaking all the mirrors." Hayley said in a flat tone since her by-the-book plan had been used against them as this was a bitter pill to swallow because she hates admitting that she was wrong.

CRASH! ~shatter~

Hearing an even louder smashing sound, the four turn their heads to see that the mirror they just uncovered was now smashed to pieces alerting them that the Basilisk was now nearby!

"Good thing I've brought my mirror with me in case you didn't have a back-up plan." Weslyn said holding her mirror.

"Good, now give me it!" Hayley demanded as she grabbed at the mirror only for the Black hair girl keeping a good grip on the mirror. "As Leader on this Mission, I'm ordering you to give me the mirror!" she demanded thinking that her plan could still work.

"No way, your plan was a failure so we're doing my plan Ms. Bossy Pants!" Weslyn argued sticking out her tongue since she was not dealing with another one of these kinds of girls feeling like she was arguing with her Egg-donor all over again before running away as well getting disowned!

"That's it Weslyn, now kick her shin until she let's go!" Nyx suggested as she did just that getting Hayley to cry from how hard she kicked her but wasn't letting go.

"Stop acting like a Pre-schooler and just let me have it!" Hayley ordered not liking the fact that there's a Basilisk out there while she and the other girl on the team were fighting like kids over a toy while Jake and Felix were wishing to be in the mirror's place of having two girls fighting over them.

"Fine, you asked for it." Weslyn said with a smirk as she let go causing Hayley to cry out as she fell onto her butt as well accidently tossing the mirror away.

"SQU-AAAOOORRR! ! !"

A loud cry caught everyone's attention as they saw the mirror hitting the Basilisk right in the face before stomping on the mirror breaking it as it angrily growled at them.

"DON'T LOOK INTO ITS EYES!" Felix cried out quickly covering his eyes before firing as the Raptor-like Basilisk sped around the Forest's brush.

"There's still the one I hid!" Jake exclaimed as he led everyone towards his mirror as the Monster chased them.

"SQU-AAOORR!"

"Get the mirror and don't look back!" Hayley ordered as the boys kept running as she readied her Blaster planning to fire at any given glance of the Basilisk.

Seeing the Basilisk's tail, she leaped towards and grabbed it only to be easily dragged against the ground as the Monster wasn't even bothered by the weight.

Seeing the so called 'Leader' of the team getting dragged like a blanket, Weslyn decided to use its own territory against it. Quickly drawing a Spell-circle over the ground, she slammed her hand right onto the circle sending pulses of Magic through the ground causing root-like tentacles to shoot up from underground to grab the Basilisk.

Sadly, that didn't work as the Basilisk managed to zig and zag around the roots, the quick movements slamming Hayley against them, before jumping over a log slamming the female Troop member into it causing her to let go of its tail.

"SQU-AAAOOORRR! !"

Looking up was a bit mistake for Hayley as the Basilisk was right in front of her as she looked directly into its eyes as her body quickly turned to stone.

"OH MAN!" Weslyn cried out catching the Basilisk's attention causing the female rookie to make a break for it. "Felix! Jake! Hayley been turned to stone, and the Basilisk is right behind me! Tell me you got the mirror?!" she exclaimed over her wrist communicator hoping that they got it.

/ / / / /

Meanwhile the boys just arrived to Jake's position only to find the mirror already smashed. "Aaa-aaa, it's smashed!" Jake exclaimed upon seeing that their last mirror was already broken.

"Er-uer-UER! ! !" Felix loudly crowed like a Rooster only for Jake to slap his arm.

"Will you stop it with the Rooster crowing!" the male rookie yelled getting irritated by it since thing are bad enough as it is!

"It may be the only thing keeping us alive! Er-uer-UER! ! !" Felix argued before crowing again.

"SQU-AAOORR! ! !"

Hearing the sounds of the Basilisk nearby, both of them fearfully looked around just as Weslyn leaped over the dirt mound lying along with them. "When you said Basilisk hate the sounds of Rooster crowing, I thought you were just making that up!" she panicky said since the Basilisk sounds even more ticked off than before. Her heart was beating, her blood was pumping, and boy did she miss this feeling! 'If we make it out of this alive, I can't wait to hug Aunt Katherine since I've missed doing this sort of thing back home!' she mentally exclaimed having missed the feel of fighting Monsters as well as other fun she'd had on Quests/Adventures with her friends since moving to this Realm.

"We're a super high-tech Monster fighting squad we must have a better weapon than a stupid Rooster!" Jake frustratingly yelled just as the Basilisk leaped out from the Forest brush squawking/roaring!

"Oh man, if only we had some other form of reflective surface like either a Phone screen or Police-styled Sunglasses!" Weslyn exclaimed looking back over their cover while secretly trying her plan again summoning root-tentacles out to distract the Basilisk hopefully long enough for them to come up with something!

"SQU-AAAOOORRR! ! !"

It was then an idea popped into Jake's head since he remembered picking up Mr. Burker's Sunglasses earlier. "Run, run towards that clearing right there!" he ordered now having time to explain his idea as the three just ran towards the direction he told them to. "Come on out you ugly lizard!" he taunted as the Monster chased them towards the clearing.

"SQU-AAAOOORRR! ! !"

Hearing the Basilisk behind them, he quickly pulled the shades from his pocket and put them on. "What are you doing?! RUN!" Felix exclaimed as they kept running as the clearing was just up ahead.

"CLOSE YOUR EYES!" Jake called getting the glasses wearing Troop member to scream as he pushed him forward as he and Weslyn leaped onto the ground as well.

"SQU-AAAOOORRR! ! !"

The Basilisk squawked/roared as it was on top of Jake and was about to attack until the rookie turned around, wearing the Sunglasses causing the Monster to see its own reflection before quickly turning to stone as well crumbling into dust.

Panting from their shortage of breath, the three couldn't help but start chuckling since they had just now destroyed a Basilisk with nothing but a pair of sunglasses as well as outside the box thinking.

"Now that, was cool! Not exactly by the book you didn't read, but still awesome!" Felix exclaimed helping Jake up as Weslyn couldn't help but grin.

"Guess we didn't need no Manual after all!" she exclaimed excitedly since she was never one to do things by the book, one of the reasons why Kai was always so tough on her since she's more of a free spirit who loves to do things her own way.

"Was it?" Jake asked since he wasn't sure his plan would work or not, but he still couldn't help but smile.

"Sure looked like it." Hayley's voice stated getting the three to turn around to see her back to normal as she had a smile on her face.

"You're okay… You're okay!" the Artist exclaimed happy to see that she was okay as he held onto her before wrapping her into a hug, one she was against but just decided to let him have this since they had been through a lot now before awkwardly separating. "What? We don't hug after missions?" he asked since what they all just been through was clearly a hugging moment only to get the two experienced Troop members to shake their heads no.

"So, Ms. Commander, ready to admit you were wrong about doubting us?" Weslyn asked with a big teasing grin since turning to stone might help the Blonde with her bossy attitude.

"A little, but not fully." Hayley said as she was impressed yet disappointed by how they handled the Basilisk without her leadership. "Speaking of, with the Basilisk defeated the victims should be returning back to normal." She stated as Jake pulled out Mr. Burker's ponytail from his pocket. "Um, what are you doing with that ponytail?" she questioned confusingly wondering why he even had that in his pocket.

"Hey, how much longer will the Burkers stay turn to stone?" Jake asked looking towards Felix as a mischievous idea entered his head.

/ / / / /

"I don't know why we're in the Woods, I told you I don't remember what happened. But I do know this, if you paid more than 10dollars for that Spa treatment, you'll gone bombed. " Mr. Burker stated annoyed as him and his wife walked through the forest heading towards their house, all the while Jake was sneaking there ahead of them as he took back his sketch as well as his sister's Glow-ball and Tiara before making a quick dash back to his house as the Burkers kept arguing.

"Well, I'll tell ya what, the second you'll shave off that idiotic mustache, then I'll listen to your beauty tips." Mrs. Burker sneered as they just exited the Forest.

"What mustache?" Mr. Burker questioned wondering what his wife was talking about as she yanked in disgust before walking ahead as he began feeling his upper lips to find hair that he sure wasn't there before.

All the while Phoebe and Jake were laughing as they got their stuff back as they sat on the front steps.

/ / / / /

Meanwhile at her own home, Weslyn plopped down onto her bed dressed in her after-school clothes consisting of a Dark-Green tank-top and matching Short-shorts as she sighed lazily after her first day of her new job.

"So Weslyn, what do you think?" the voice of her Aunt drew her attention as she saw a Woman with slightly pale skin, Jade-Green eyes, and long silky Black hair tied in a braided ponytail while currently dressed in a buttoned-up Lab-coat and Gray Pencil-skirt. This Woman is Katherine Hyde, Wesyln's adopted Aunt as well as legal guardian

"Hey Aunty Katty, why did you recommend me to the team anyway?" Weslyn asked as her Aunt sat beside her on the bed.

"Because you need to reconnect with your roots." Katherine said only for Weslyn to shake her head.

"But I am connected to my roots, this is the real me." Weslyn stated as her form glowed and shifted to her true Monster form. Sitting in her place was a humanoid Butterfly-like creature with Scarlet colored face as well arms and legs with a mane of Magenta colored hair as well tufts around her neck, wrists and calves, pointed ears to show her Witch-hood, 4-digit hands and two-digit feet, a lightly fuzzy Aqua-Green torso with the fuzz making it look like she's wearing a leotard, Pink, Indigo, and Violet colored wings folded against her back, and a long tail/abdomen laying right behind her.

Weslyn's Monster form was also different in size too with her height now being a head taller (5ft10inches) with her top and shorts hugging her curves as her figure was even fuller and lightly muscularly toned from years of physical training from different activities with her larger bust (Double-F-cup) pushing her top up revealing her flat stomach as wear a clear definition of abs while her shorts hugged her pear-shaped hips as well bringing full attention to her long lusciously toned legs.

"Not your Blaksilk roots, your REAL roots." Katherine said, this time being more clearly which got her niece's eyes to widen.

"NO! Wessy don't wanna be mean Humans! Mean Humans hurt Wessy! Hurt Wessy very very badly!" Weslyn whined, her voice sounding less like a teen and more like a small child who been traumatized, as she hugged herself tightly with her upper arms around her head, her lower arms hugging her knees close to her chest, and her wings and tail wrapped around her body like a blanket as she was recalling all the physical, mental, and emotional abuse her Birth Parents did to her as her magic was now starting to spark uncontrollably.

"Weslyn snap out of it!" Nyx called out as she quickly began showing her Student her more happily memories as well playing one of her favorite songs to help calm her down before thing could get out of hand, another reason why she's here since the Monster Girl's Magic was deeply connected to her emotions as well as wild and uncontrollable.

"Weslyn honey, that's not what I meant." Katherine calmly said placing her hands on the girl's shoulders. "I didn't mean your Heritage roots like your Biological Family, I meant your roots as a Human being since this is the next step to your recovery." She corrected knowing that her Niece can do this since she came a long way since she was 8years old.

Slowly, Weslyn's Magic began to calm down as she uncovered herself with tears in her eyes since she was afraid that she'll accidently hurt somebody again.

"Promise me you'll at least try, okay my Little Larva." Katherine asked calling the younger Monster Girl by her nickname since her rebirth when she severed all ties with her Birth Family.

Nodding her head slowly, a teary eye Weslyn promised her Aunty that she'll try before receiving a kiss on the forehead as the Troop Monster Expert wiped away her tears before leaving to make supper.

Laying her head against her pillow, the former Human couldn't help but look at her Crystal-ball before deciding to give her Mentor/Adopted-Mother Tantula a call to let her know that she might like it here before looking at her new Badge with the Troop's symbol on in, knowing that her life was now just starting a whole new chapter.

/ / / / /

And finally done!

It may had taken three weeks, but the first chapter is finally done.

First, I would like to say sorry to everyone, but the last Month of Summer doesn't make me feel well especially jerks/trolls who think 'Our Health Concerns' are nothing but b******* excuses.

Also sorry about the delay it just some A****** left a VERY creepy chain letter in the review of my Goddess Return story and I've been freaked out but thank to talking with some fellow Authors who also experience this sort of Troll attack, I'm back to writing again. I mean, things are bad enough with Covid-19, so we DON'T THIS KIND OF STUFF HAPPENING! I mean THIS is one of the MANY REASONS AUTHORS HAVE BEEN QUITING DUE TO FEAR AS WELL PARANIOA SO I HOPE THESE KIND OF PEOPLE ARE HAPPY BECAUSE YOU GOT BLOOD ON YOUR HANDS, CYBER BLOOD!

Also wanted to clear things up about the AN I left for some of my stories. I didn't mean they won't be updated UNTIL Christmas, I meant I'll be giving the final Poll Numbers ON Christmas so sorry about the confusion since that was my bad. Wanted to clear things up because I'll still be writing.

And one final thing, I'll be putting up another Poll but this one will be asking if I should write a Prequel to this Story, and to those who don't know, a Prequel is like the preview of the original like The Thing Movies or the Franchise where they show the origin like Saw or Puppet-Master for example.

So, thank you all for reading and hope you all have a good day since things are slowly beginning to look up and I hope 2021 will be a better year.

See you all next time!
