Everyone was at the dinner having breakfast in the main dinning hall. The professors were talking about the dome that was right next door to them, but tried to keep the students out of their conversation. Most of the students were calm and collective eating their breakfast with no need to bother anyone. Oskar was sitting next to Sunshine reassuring her that the food was edible. Things seemed to be pretty okay, except for Howard being suspicious about the food.
"Cunningham, are you sure we can eat this? What if its a person?" asked Howard
"I can assure you that the food may be a little raw but I took extra care to ensure that it was edible for humans as well as vampires." said Lenny
"Ok, but if I see even one human finger I'm out of here." said Howard taking a bite out of the sausage. "This is actually pretty good."
Howard continued to eat, more so than normal. Randy joined in eating breakfast keeping some distance from Gothetta after their shared dream tango.
"I have to agree with Howard this is pretty good, but I am a little curious. What is this exactly?" asked Randy
"Oh, it is blood sausage with eggs and pork blood mixed with chicken blood." said Lenny
This made all three humans stop eating, and for Howard to turn green and throw up.
"Cunningham pack your bags! We are leaving this place." said Howard
"Howard despite how valid your point is, I have to ask; Where?" asked Randy
"Where else, AMERICA!" said Howard
"Just one problem, we don't have our stuff. That includes our passports." explained Randy
"So, we'll just go get them and then we go on the first flight out of here...Oh wait I just remember where they are. Wonk it." said Howard sitting down again
"Well outside of this, Lady Kryptina and I have businesses to attend to." said Ox Blood getting up from the table.
"Lenny make sure that the students stay here and not to go near the town." said Lady Kryptina
"Understood ma'am." replied Lenny
"Wait, what about us?" asked Sunshine
"What are we supposed to do?" asked Oskar
"You are to stay here, we'll look into this. Don't worry Oskar we'll get Alarich back." said Lady Kryptina
With that the two professors left, leaving the young vampires and the humans in the castle.
Randy and Howard went to check up on Heidi while everyone else was hanging out or in Oskar's case giving Sunshine a tour of the castle. As the two freshmen from Norresville walked up the stairs they began to talking about what the juice where they going to do.
"I still say that we should jump on an plane and hijack it to go straight to Norresville." said Howard
"Yeah, a couple problems with that; Homeland security, no papers, Heidi most likely nagging or yelling at us, and leaving an evil vampire with dark magic that could spread his evil to the entire world." said Randy
After that conversation the two Freshmen arrived at the room where Heidi was resting and found her still inside the coffin where they placed her earlier that day. They went up to the coffin and saw her just like they left her. Not a single hair out of place.
"Um, shouldn't she have woken up by now?" asked Howard
"Heidi, Heidi wake up. It's almost ten at night." said Randy slightly shaking her shoulder
Heidi remained unchanged. Randy Cunningham
"OH MY JUICE CUNNINHAM! THEY DRANK HER BLOOD SHE'S DEAD!" freaked out Howard
"Calm down Howard, check out her neck." said Randy
"Dude! She's my sister!" said Howard with disgust
"For bite marks, Howard. If she was bitten then she'll have vampire bite marks on her neck." explained Randy
"Oh, right. I knew that." said Howard
They then lifted Heidi up and began to look at her neck for the two puncture marks anywhere. To their relief or rather disconcert, they found nothing on her neck. She wasn't cold nor was she looking sick.
"I don't understand, she isn't waking up nor yelling at us." said Randy
"Which is usually a big win in my book." said Howard
"They must have done something to her back in that cave to keep her asleep." said Randy walking towards the window.
"Hey, were are you going?" asked Howard
"Take a wild guess." said Randy putting on the Ninja mask
"Your gonna leave me here with the vampires!?" asked Howard
"I'm leaving you here to see if you and everyone else can find anything about Dracula. Maybe this can help out." said Randy handing out the old book he got from the abandoned library
"Where you just holding on to that book this whole time?" asked Howard
"Would you believe that I completely forgot about it? Never mind just see what you can find out." said Randy jumping out of the window
"Aw man." said Howard very annoyed
At the far reaches of the dome both Professor Ox Blood and Lady Kryptina were examining it.
"I still am unsure about this Lady Kryptina. If we enter this dome there is no telling what we'll find there." said Ox Blood
"I know but we cannot let something like that stop us. Whatever Dracula is doing in there we must find out." responded Lady Kryptina
"Then what are we waiting for?" asked Randy dropping from the tree tops startling Ox Blood.
Both vampires turned to see the protector of Norresville. Neither of them looked pleased about his sudden arrival.
"Young man, we directly said that you were to stay in the castle while we looked at the situation." said Ox Blood crossing his arms
"No, you said 'the students' had to remain in the castle. I'm not one of your students, therefore I'm only doing what I think is right." explained Randy
"*sight* He is not wrong Ox Blood. But, if you are to come with us, you must remain at our side at all times. Understood?" questioned Lady Kryptina
"Yeah, I mean yes." replied Randy
The two vampires and the Ninja turned to the dome and slowly began to enter it. As they walked in they found themselves surrounded by a thick fog. They could barely see each other until they were able to step right out of it and walked onto the stone road. They spotted the town right down the road and continued walking towards it.
The air of the night within the dome had a strange feel to it. It was chilly and at the same time terrifying. There were a few voices that could be heard in the wind, all of them whispering.
"Is anyone else being slightly spooked from the wind alone?" asked Randy
"Please child, we are vampires. We are easily one of the scariest things in the night." said Ox Blood
Randy and Lady Kryptina then noticed that Ox Blood's legs were shaking slightly.
"In any case do you smell that?" asked Lady Kryptina
They all sniffed the air and smelled burning coal and oil.
"Oil." said Randy
"And Coal." said Ox Blood
They continued walking until they reached the town.
"Hey don't you guys notice something different?" asked Randy
"I also think that there's been a change here but I simply cannot put my finger in it." said Ox Blood looking around
The looked around to see that the lamps on the streets were lit with oil candles, there was no electric noise nor cars. Even the people that were walking around wearing suits and dresses that looked to be of a more steam punk era or the 19th century than the Current Era.
As they walked the group began to receive some weary stares, and the occasional hat tip from the top hat wearing gentlemen.
"Something tells me we are going to stand out like a sore thumb here." said Randy
"You certainly will, find a place to change into something more adequate and we'll wait for you." said Lady Kryptina
"Ok, wait for me at the Pitch Black Hotel near the downtown area." said Randy
With that said Randy disappeared into the pitch dark alley shadows without a noise.
"Are we certain that he is not a vampire?" asked Ox Blood
"Yes, we are sure." said Lady Kryptina
Randy ran through the rooftops, around the chimney stacks that spewed black smoke. The smell of burning coal and ash invaded his nose as he jumped from building to building looking for something that would make him stand out less. Something told him that even his normal clothes would be a little to peculiar and people would notice with ease.
Randy noticed that there were several clothes hanging out to dry. With a shrug Randy snatched a few pieces of clothing; a white shirt, a black vest, black pants, and a newsboy hat.
He got dressed and placed his normal clothes in a bag and then went up to meet with the two vampire teachers at the hotel. As an extra measure he hid the Ninja mask under the hat in case they needed to get into a fight.
Randy then spotted both of the vampires and walked up to them in his new clothes.
"Alright, honest opinion; how do I look?" asked Randy
"Presentable." said Ox Blood
"Let's go in now." said Lady Kryptina
The three entered the hotel and walked up to the main desk where a young man was standing ready to check people in.
"Good evening lady and gentlemen, how may I assist you this good night?" asked the Concierge
"Hi there, I'm Randy Cunningham, this is my mother and, my grandfather, we would like to know all you can tell us about this town and time please?" asked Randy making Lady Kryptina to giggle and Ox Blood to glare at the boy.
"Pardon me sir, but I did not understood your question." replied the Concierge
Ox Blood then stepped forth.
"Please, I beg you to forgive my grandson. He was raised in America. We are passing by and we were wondering if you could tell us about your beloved town." explained Ox Blood
"I see, well this beloved town was founded nearly 200 years ago back in 1614." told the Concierge
"Wait, then what's this year then?" asked Randy cutting off the Concierge
"Young man it is quite rude to-" began the Conciege when suddenly
"AAAAAAAHHHHHHH!"
A scream cut the man off.
Randy ran outside to check what it was as it had come from the alley next to the hotel. Once Randy reached the dark alley he saw two pale humanoid creatures, with razor sharp nails, fangs, and dead blue eyes. Both of them were dressed, one as a cop and the other one similarly like how Randy had disgusted himself. Underneath them laid a woman that suddenly rose up once more looking just like her two assailants.
"Wow, you three need some sun quickly 'cause you look shnasty." said Randy
The three creatures jumped at Randy like a pack of wild beasts, growling and snarling.
Randy jumped up to get out of the way. The three creatures left a small crater on the spot where Randy had been. Randy landed behind the creatures and sped quickly to deliver a barrage of punches and kicks against the beasts of the night. He surprised the cop by punching him across the jaw four times before giving the simple one a round house kick, then he ducked as the woman lunged at him from behind digging her claws on the wall.
The three creatures regrouped looking barely worse for wear. Randy then noticed that his knuckles of his suit were scraped by the punching.
"Ok, new plan." said Randy before throwing a small green ball at the three beasts.
The ball exploded filling the three creatures with paralyzing electricity, this gave Randy enough time to get up to the rooftop. Just as Randy reached the roof he was slightly spooked by Ox Blood's face, and in reflex Randy punched him.
"Why would you do that young man?" demanded Ox Blood
"Sorry I was a little freaked by those things." said Randy pointing behind him
As in cue, the three creatures jumped up slightly chard.
"Run?" asked Ox Blood
"Yeah, I suggest so." said Randy before he threw a smoke bomb covering them from the creatures.
Randy is then seen being carried by both Ox Blood and Lady Kryptina in their bat forms back towards the castle.
"Well at least we now have an idea of what Dracula did." said Randy
"Yes, we must get back to the castle and form a new plan." said Lady Kryptina
"Agreed. By the way, I do not look like no one's grandfather." said Ox Blood
"No, you look more like my grandfather's grandfather.I'm just saying." said Randy
