After the volleyball game, Draculaura was giving makeovers to the Tiki people and even to Mo.

"Let's see your hair without that bandanna." Draculaura smiled.

"Uh, no, um, that's okay." Mo smiled nervously.

"Oh, come on, it can't be that bad." Draculaura said.

Mo sighed nervously and soon undid her bandanna to reveal an awkward hairstyle. Cherry's eyes widened before she was heard snickering behind her hand.

"That's it; I'm putting it back on." Mo said.

"No, no, I just remembered a funny joke!" Cherry smiled nervously.

Draculaura soon started to get to work on Mo's hair.

"Oh, this is stupid!" Mo frowned.

"Oh, don't worry." Draculaura said before she finished with Mo's hair.

Mo winced nervously as she tried to sit still.

Draculaura hummed as she styled Mo's hair and then stopped. "There we go!" she then handed a mirror to the tomboy. "Well, what do you think?"

"Amazing." Mo smiled.

Draculaura smiled back. Mo's hair was soon curly and bouncy, looking quite cute. Atticus let out a whistle to show how much he loved her new hairdo. Mo smiled at his compliment. Atticus smiled back.

"Ya do look nice, kid." Evil Manta even agreed.

"Thank you." Mo smiled.

Draculaura smiled to that and she soon gave the Tiki people makeovers with her make-up kit she brought with her.

"She is good." Cherry said.

"Why don't you try on some make-up?" Atticus smirked.

"Yeah, no..." Cherry shook her head dismissively.

"Why?" Atticus asked.

"Make-up... Gross..." Cherry stuck her tongue out.

"Oh, brother." Atticus said.

Mo looked at her reflection and wondered if she should wear a little make-up for the party herself. "Maybe a little make-up would be nice..." she then pondered.

"Not that you need it to look pretty." Atticus smiled.

"Oh, you." Mo blushed to that.

"Oh, barf." Cherry rolled her eyes.

Draculaura was soon finished with the tikis.

"Draculaura, if it's not too much trouble, could I go next?" Mo asked. "Please?"

"Oh, honey, I'm so happy!" Draculaura squealed with a gasp and hugged Mo.

"I'll take that as you'll do it?" Mo guessed.

"But of course!" Draculaura smiled.

"Great." Mo said.


"Oh... I am royally exhausted..." Cleo groaned. "What terrible job did the Tikis stick you with?"

"Ours was decorating," Clawdeen smiled. "It was fun!"

"Decorating? DECORATING?!" Cleo glared with her left eye twitching. "They made me cook and clean!"

"That was kind of unfair." Cherry said.

Clawdeen giggled to that however.

"Oh, my Ra!" Cleo glared. "Are you laughing?!"

"No..." Clawdeen shook her head innocently only to laugh again. "Okay, yeah!"

"How could she not?" Atticus asked.

Cleo groaned at her own misfortune while the werewolf girl laughed.

"At least you're learning about hard work." Atticus said to Cleo.

Cleo glared as that didn't feel like much help.


Evil Manta looked over and saw that Bartleby and Kipling were leaving their ship and decided to do a little sneaky work just as Lagoona and Gil decided to do the same. He made sure they didn't see him. Lagoona and Gil looked to him.

"Come on, they're leaving, let's go." Evil Manta told the two aquatic teenagers.

Lagoona and Gil soon nodded.

"Let's hurry." Lagoona said.

"Great idea," Gil replied. "I don't wanna be in the sea any longer than I have to."

"Why's that?" Evil Manta asked.

"Uh, well, my parents are river monsters, so I'm more a freshwater monster than a saltwater monster." Gil explained.

"Ohh." Evil Manta said.

Gil smiled nervously.

"That explains the helmet." Evil Manta tapped his glass.

"Ah! Don't tap it!" Gil told him.

"Sorry. Sorry." Evil Manta said.

"Come on, let's go." Lagoona said before swimming.

Evil Manta then joined her, but Gil stayed put since he didn't like saltwater.

"Whales go to the bathroom in here, Lagoona!" Gil told his girlfriend.

"Is he seriously not coming?" Evil Manta groaned.

Gil sighed and soon came over after them against his will slightly.


Before everyone knew it, it was night time, and everyone was gathered.

"Finally." Mo said.

"Welcome, welcome, the show of a lifetime!" Bartleby grinned to the guests. "The show is about to begin!"

'He sounds like a ringmaster.' Mo thought to herself.

They were soon all given food.

"Whoa, check it out." Clawdeen smiled.

"I know!" Draculaura beamed. "The salad bar is off the 'fang'!"

"Anyone seen Gil and Lagoona?" Clawdeen asked. "Also, now that I think about it, Mo's, uh, friend Matthew?"

"I think they went for a swim." Cleo shrugged.

"They must be having their own fun." Mo said.

"Find them!" Bartleby told Kipling.


Meanwhile...

Lagoona, Gil, and Evil Manta explored the ship.

"This place is giving me the wet willies." Gil shuddered.

"I can't believe I'm saying this, but I feel the same." Evil Manta said.

"Look, this is the island we're in." Lagoona said as she picked up a book and flipped through it.

On the pages there seemed to be traps.

"There's something on this island they're trying to catch... But what...?" Lagoona wondered.

"Must be something big." Evil Manta said.

The door was heard rattling behind them.

"Hide!" Evil Manta told the teenagers.

They soon his as best as they could. Kipling came inside and went to explore the room while they all hid away. He came over to the water cooler Gil hid behind and got himself a drink. He almost looked like he was about to take off his mask, but he soon came outside once he heard something, but only saw seagulls. He soon shrugged that off, got onto a lifeboat, and then paddled away.

"He's gone." Evil Manta said.

"Thanks, now, let's get out of here." Gil replied.

"Wait," Lagoona told them as she came to the movie projector and found an old movie. "'The Beast of Skull Shores: The Worst Monster of Them All'."

"This might give us a clue." Evil Manta said.

Lagoona soon put the movie in so that they could watch it. Of course, being an old movie, the shot was in black and white. There was a human scientist shown in a boat, smiling and waving, and she looked very familiar.

"That normie scientist looks a lot like-" Gil was about to say until the camera zoomed in on the woman.

"FRANKIE!" Gil and Lagoona gasped.

"That woman looks just like your friend." Evil Manta said.


Back with the others...

Frankie was given the royal treatment much to the dismay of Cleo.

"There she is, our guest of honor!" Bartleby grinned as Frankie was placed in a throne.

Ghoulia smiled and took a picture of this on her phone.

"Frankie sure is liking this treatment." Mo said.

"Who could blame her?" Cleo sulked. "That should so be me!"

"Yeah, well, it's not, so get over it." Cherry said.

"Your ceremonial necklace, my dear," Bartleby smiled as he put a necklace on Frankie. "And now, the show can begin!"

There were soon fireworks for the celebration. The Tikis then began to beat on drums.

"What's with the drums?" Mo asked.

"It must be a ceremonial song." Atticus guessed.

"Let me begin at the beginning, and tell you the tale tale of the mythical beast of Skull Shores." Bartleby told the others.

"I have a feeling this story will explain we are really here." Cherry whispered.

"Oh, I'm sure it's part of the show," Draculaura smiled. "Enjoy it."

"For hundreds of years, a horrible beast, as tall as a skyscraper roamed the Skull Shores," Bartleby told the guests while the Tiki people did shadow puppets to help tell the story. "Rampaging and terrifying The Tiki."


Evil Manta, Lagoona, and Gil were watching the movie as Bartleby told the story to those with him.


"The Tiki, bless their hearts, tried to lead it back from once it came, but they were no match for its sheer size and power!" Bartleby smirked. "Legend has it, there was one person who could soothe the savage beast. The Tiki, desperate to save their village, did the only thing they could do: offer her to him, in hopes his rampages would end!"

Frankie's chair soon raised high into the sky.

"Wait, offer?!" Mo yelped.

"What's going on!?" Frankie yelped from the height.

"He's using Frankie as bait," Lagoona said once the movie ended. "Come on, we gotta save her!"

"We better hurry." Evil Manta said.

They soon rushed as the drum beating got more and more intense.

"Uh, can I come down now?" Frankie asked nervously.

"Yeah, come on, this is getting a little too real." Clawdeen added with a glare.

"Oh, patience, my dears, the real show has just begun!" Bartleby smirked.

"This was all set up, wasn't it?!" Mo glared.

There was then stomping heard.

"It's a demigod, everybody protect me!" Cherry ducked down nervously.

"I think that might be the monster." Atticus said.

"Just a show, huh?" Clawdeen asked nervously.

Frankie let out a terrified scream and braced herself for impact.

"We've got to warn Frankie!" Lagoona told her boyfriend and the villain of Atlantica.

Evil Manta knew it was risky, but he had to be his normal size to get to Frankie in time.

"Okay, here he comes!" Bartleby smirked.


The beast soon came out and snarled to Frankie while she and the others screamed in fright of his appearance. The beast roared at Frankie, but once he looked at her, he actually seemed to calm down.

"He's calm." Mo smiled.

"Gaugh!" Cherry groaned weakly. "And his breath smells like garlic..."

"Oh, and you came to see me without a 45 pound breath mint." Frankie waved the air.

The beast lowly growled and cupped his mouth.

"I think he heard that." Mo said.

Frankie soon soothed and comforted the beast.

"Oh, just as I predicted!" Bartleby grinned to that. "Beauty has calmed the savage beast!"

"I'm sorry." Frankie told the beast before she was soon grabbed like she was a doll. "You know, you're not so scary when you're crazy, roaring, knocking trees over."

Mo smiled as she could tell those two were meant to be.

"NOW!" Bartleby signaled.

Traps from the trees were then flung to hold down the beast like he was some sort of wild animal.

"NO!" Frankie frowned. "What're you guys doing?!"

Bartleby just laughed evilly. Mo began to look enraged.

"You're upsetting him!" Frankie told Bartleby.

"We've got to save our ghoul." Draculaura told the others.

"STOP THEM!" Bartleby told the Tiki people.

Mo soon used her magic to help her and the others. The beast soon began to use his own powers to also help. Vines started to come out of the ground.

"The vines are back!" Cherry called out.

Mo narrowed her eyes towards Bartleby as she used her powers. The vines soon went towards Bartleby.

"What is this sorcery?!" Bartleby glared, stomping one some of the vines.

"You'll pay for that." Mo grunted.

Bartleby stomped on some vines which seemed to scurry away and he laughed. Other vines however, came behind Bartleby and suddenly tied him up.

"Gotcha." Mo smirked.

The Tikis then threw spears at the beast's back. Mo soon made the trees protect the beast's back.

"You have a great heart." Atticus smiled.

"I don't think anyone has a better heart than Ma-Ti though." Mo smiled back.

"True." Atticus nodded.

The Tikis kept trying to attack.

"Stop it, beasts have feelings too!" Cherry glared.

"Yeah!" Atticus added.

The beast soon knocked the trees down on some Tikis and roared as he stalked off with Frankie at hand.

"Did he just take off with Frankie?" Mo asked.

"After him!" Bartleby cried out while struggling with the vines.

"I can't believe that thing took Frankie!" Cleo complained.

"We have to rescue her." Mo said.

"No, I can't believe that thing took her over me." Cleo huffed.

The others just gave her a look of deadpan.

"Come on, we gotta help Frankie!" Clawdeen told the mummy girl.

They soon started to run off to rescue her.


As soon as they left, Evil Manta, Gil, and Lagoona came to the scene.

"We're too late!" Gil frowned.

"We've gotta find her!" Lagoona replied. "Let's follow Farnum!"

"Agreed." Evil Manta said.

Cherry gasped and panted as she ran with the others, showing that she was clearly out of shape. Evil Manta soon grew into his giant size.

"I can't run anymore..." Cherry groaned as she stopped running with the others. She soon felt the ground shake before turning around to see Evil Manta as his giant size.

"Ah, that feels good." Evil Manta smirked to his giant size.

"Uh, if you say so, but down here, it's rather intimidating." Cherry smiled nervously.

Evil Manta soon gave her a ride on his right shoulder.

"Whoa!" Cherry blinked in shock.

"You better hang on." Evil Manta told her.

"Oh, my ghoul, oh, my ghoul, oh, my ghoul!" Frankie yelped as the beast was taking her to a ledge, but soon jumped from it to get to the one on the other side.

"Something about that monster seems familiar." Mo said.

"What makes you say that?" Atticus asked her.

"I just get the feeling he's familiar." Mo said.

The beast soon took Frankie somewhere that she could rest since being so high up made her faint. Atticus was soon flying into the air to find them. Cherry and Mo waited, though were in a safe distance away from Bartleby.
