Hey, guys. It's me again. This chapter is the second part of our story's climax. Will Dracula beat Jiku the Fossil and win the prize money Frank needs to pay back Grinder? Only one way to find out!

The final round approaches where Dracula faces off with Jiku.

"Okay, Drac!" Frank told Dracula. "I heard of this guy, and he obliterated his last challenger just for bad mouthing his looks. He has a mean left hook, he tail swipes and he's Ex-Marine."

"A former solider?" The vampire asked with surprise.

"So? You're the owner of the hotel. So, you outrank him."

"ARE YOU INSANE?"

"Aw c'mon! We need this money so I can get Queen Grinder IX off my back! She said I'll be buried alive if I don't pay off the debts! And I mean literally, they're freaking fire ants!"

"Frank, seriously! You should just admit the truth! My daughter, grandson and the other monsters have to know sooner or later."

"NEVER! If they find out, I'll be swabbing the kitchen for months! I must keep this on the hush-hush! Now go out there and kick some butt!"

"I hate you so much right now."

"LET'S GET READY TO CLASH!" The announcer shouted to start the match. Dracula and Jiku meet at the center ring.

"You're going down, clown!" Jiku shouted and throws a punch, but Dracula blocks it. "What the-?" The vampire kicks the prehistoric shark fossil in the gut. "OOF! My self-service pump!"

"Go! Kick the dude's butt!" Frank cheered Dracula on.

Jiku throws another punch, but Dracula slaps it away and punches him hard enough to make a black eye. Jiku tries again and again, but Dracula eventually defeats him without effort and the fossil dramatically falls.

"One, two, three, YOU'RE OUT!" The coach shouted.

"Whoa! I cannot believe my eyes!" The announcer spoke with astonishment. "Dracula actually defeated Jiku the Great! This is a phenomenal moment today, folks! Jiku is no longer the strongest there is! Now he's nothing more than one ugly fish!"

"Beaten by a vampire!" Jiku complained. "Oh, the irony!"

"Well, I must say that prehistoric shark is 'prehistory'!" Dracula gloated.

"And the winner of the Smash N' Crash competition is Count Dracula!" The announcer declared the name of the champion and the audience cheers.

"We did it, guys!" Frank laughed. "My plan worked! We won the $20,000!"

"You?" The coach addressed him. "I'm sorry, Frankenstein, but that money belongs to Dracula only."

"WHAT?! That's so unfair! I went through too much trouble to get that money and I've only got six hours left before Queen Grinder invades my home! I need to pay that loan after I lost the money to a scorpion prince at a game of poker and $20,000 worth of lotto tickets!" The audience gasps as Frank realizes that he publicly blurted out his confession. "Did I say that out loud?"

Suddenly, a manticore in a police uniform appears. "Well, well, well! Wanted the money for yourself, did you?" he spoke as he cuffs Frank. "Frankenstein, you're under arrest for the crimes of cheating and gamgling."

"Oh no!" Dracula, Wayne and Murray whimpered.

"OH YEAH!" A Kool-Aid Guy shouted as he bursts through the wall. He pauses as he sees all eyes are fixed on him. "Sorry!" He leaves.

"Cheating?" Frank asked with confusion. "But all those fights were fair!"

"Not all of them!" Mike spoke up. "During the break, I heard you and your werewolf and mummy friends talking and bragging about how you help Count Dracula beat Snakera by one of your friends knowing about the throat being Snakera's one weak spot!" Everyone gasps at what he said.

"At least the other fights were fair."

"True, but if even one fight was won by cheating, a good number of fair fights cannot help you."

"You're coming with me, Frank!" The manticore officer declared. "You'll be confined to prison for 10 years."

"10 YEARS?! Crap!"

"Drac, do something!" Griffin panicked.

"That wouldn't be necessary, son." Dracula's father, Vlad, spoke.

"Dad?" Dracula asked in surprise as he saw Vlad, Mavis, Dennis, Abraham Van Helsing and his great-granddaughter, Ericka, suits of armor and other monsters arrive.

"The others?" Wayne asked.

"Oh no!" Frank exclaimed fearfully.

"At ease!" Vlad calls off the manticore officer. "Punishment of a monster that committed a no-no by code rightfully belongs to my son."

"But how did you guys find out?"

"I told them about it, Frank." Abraham scolded. "I've been eyeing on you since you first made that loan with that fire ant queen. But also, you didn't realize that major events like wrestling are broadcasted worldwide. Also, a witch's magic cauldron at the hotel ratted you out."

"You forgot about the magic cauldron belonging to a witch named Vivien?!" Wayne shouted.

"Wow, Frank was really dumb." Murray commented.

"Not to mention a poor scammer." Said an unfamiliar voice.

"PRINCE SCORPO?!" Frank gasped as he recognized the voice. "Oh, great, as if my day didn't crapify enough!"

"Well, Frank, I must say we are VERY disappointed in you." Ericka scolded Frank.

"You know, if I hadn't known about this in the first place, I would've helped, too." Prince Scorpo said.

"Yes, Frankenstein. We are very disappointed." A suit of armor said. "But at least you took a little bit of responsibility for your actions. But we can't risk the fact that you never told us about this. So you realize that you must be punished."

"We are placing you into kitchen duty for a week." The leader of the suits lectured. "And we're paying Wayne, Murray and Griffin to keep an eye on you."

"CRAP NUGGETS!" Frank shouted in despair.

"Perhaps I'd better just give up the money since it wasn't earned fairly." Dracula said. He gives up the money and Jiku sees this.

"You have to admit, at least when we discovered his problem, he wasn't even one bit unwilling to let that money go." Mike said.

"Mike, you think you could arrange a meeting with Dracula and the other fighters?" Jiku asked Mike. "I know just the way to fix Victor Frankenstein's creation's problem."

"It's a done deal, kid."

Looks like Dracula won the prize money Frank needed to pay Queen Grinder. But, unfortunately, it solely belongs to Dracula since he's the tournament's champion. Now Frank is being punished for keeping the situation he's in secret from the other monsters, and for gambling and cheating. Looks like Jiku might have a solution to fix Frank's problem.

The next and final chapter will be the epilogue. So stay tuned!
