Chapter 3:
Practice makes everybody hungry
The five intrudes were standing in terror at the sight of the strange green beast in possession of their missing Volleyball. 'Those guys I can burn.' He said in his native tongue through snarls.
"It's the Grimwood's weird guard-dog." Tug informed the others while pointing with his right hand. He and the others saw that the 'dog's' scales were turning from green to red which they have seen, heard, and knew was a bad sign.
"And he looks mucho hot under the collar." Miguel commented and just wanted to leave before they had to chip away charred skin in about two seconds. The tallest of the group took a stab at befriending it.
"Easy boy, we just want our ball." He said in a slightly nervous tone of voice. His answer was a quick fireball to the face, but thanks to having some of the hand-eye coordination of his cousin Vince La Salle he was able to dodge it; causing to fly in between the top of his hair and the base of his mid-air hat. "But I think he wants to keep it." He said to the others after his hat landed on his head, and ran back to the others.
"Cadets, advance to the rear, and step on it." Their field leader shouted before running away even though that he knew his relative TJ would have found a way to bypass this obstacle. His team followed his lead and they all rushed to the grass themed barrier.
'Time for you to fry.' Matches thought after positioning himself on top of the ball and unleashed a devastating flamethrower. Since his old friend had instructed to only use his fire as a warning the flame had a minimal range, but after opening his eyes he saw that it did the job - they were gone.
"I guess we'll be cutting our Volleyball practice short." Grunt said to them through a series of pants after: Jamal, Miguel, Tug, Baxter, and himself ran over to their side. There was a large part of him that knew his family member Mikey would have been able to sooth the beast no problem.
"Ball." The land dragon grumbled to himself before picking up the sphere and walking off. The girls and the trio of heroes knew of nothing that just happened - Matches going out for some air, the cadet's uninvited visit, and their guardian having a new toy. They only knew that it was time for their next activity.
"So, what should we try next?" Danny questioned to the others since he, personally was still new to the part of teacher. The dragon and the shape-shifter thought over what to do as well, but wasn't sure either.
"I don't know…" Jake said aloud before glancing out the window and saw the twisted forest. "Maybe a jog." He suggested to the others.
"Sounds good to me." Winnie said and felt that there was a part of her that wanted to show off her speed skills to the scale belly. The other two teens looked at one another before nodding in agreement, but it was at that time that the alien monster remembered something.
"There's just one thing - all of our backup clothes are in the Rustbucket. The two groaned after recalling that they did not have the foresight to grab their gear last night. "No worries guys. I'll get them and come back." The fuzzy alien then taped the hourglass symbol on his waist - praying for the flyer he was thinking of, but instead came up with:
"Wildvine? Oh, man." He complained before stretching out to the window. As soon as he left the female flier walked over to the window and watched as he made his way to the roof.
"He seriously needs to get that thing checked." Jake stated as they all decided to wait for him. On the roof the plant had wrapped his hands on the guardrail on top of the house. With as much luck as he usually hoped for the pulverizing plant released his foot hold on the house and launched himself onto their vehicle.
'Glad that worked…sort of.' The hero thought while rubbing his face after slamming into the windshield. Once he could no longer feel his head ringing Ben was about to head into the machine until he heard a strange bubbling coming from the moat. "Huh?" He questioned before turning to see nothing out of the ordinary. "Must still be dizzy." He concluded before grabbing the outfits; once outside he grabbed a chunk of ceiling like a grappling hook before pulling himself up.
"Nice one, Ben." The ghost congratulated before floating over to their room. As soon as it was shut the ghost boy phased his head out of it and decided to give his fan a fair warning. "No peaking Phantasma." This caused her to pout a bit since she really wanted to do as he anticipated.
"I better change too." Long told the girls before heading to his room. The orange haired wolf restricted herself from doing what the spirit wanted to do. It didn't take the dragon long to get dressed, but Ben was a little shocked at what he came out Jake wore a Legend of the Dragon T-Shirt with Double Dragon shorts; shoes stayed the same.
"Rooms all yours, Ben." Danny said as he walked out with a pair of average jean shorts but with a Ghostbusters shirt: the real Ghostbusters in the front, Extreme Ghostbusters on the back, Slimer on the left short sleeve, and the Ghostbuster logo on the right short sleeve.
"Thanks." The shape-shifter answered back before walking in and turning back into his form then. "I just hope I can train without my heroes." He muttered to himself while he was getting dressed.
'I can't believe them.' The vampiress thought as she watched Ben walk into his bedroom while in the plant creature's form, and recalled the look in her two friend's eyes.
'You know that there was a small piece of you that wanted to transform and spy on him.' An unknown voice in her mind thought back to the logical half, but was successfully ignored.
"Okay, let's get this next part underway." Tennyson said to them as he walked out wearing sport shorts and a Men in Black T-Shirt. Unlike the guys the girl ghouls simply went out with the clothes on their back.
"Follow us, girls. There's nothing like a little run to get you in shape!" Danny said to the group after they made their way to the front door, lowered the drawbridge, and headed out. The specter found his comment ironic since he hated running back at school, but here he was able to use his natural talents.
"And, no offense to Ms. G, but we don't have to wear a tutu either." The mystical American Ambassador said to the others since he did not mean to insult the generous woman's sense of fashion.
"I don't know. That tutu did help me out a bit." The brown haired hero said with a blush of embarrassment after being so caught up in their exercise that he didn't realize that he was practically mooning the vampire until she shouted in alarm. As for the girl in question she was holding onto her hair as she and the others were running behind them.
"There's nothing like feeling the wind running through your hair!" The violet themed vampire said in happiness since she enjoyed the wind in her hair a bit more then she liked it in her wings.
"This is good for the hearts. Mine are both beating fast." Elsa, who was running in front of the flier, commented while keeping pace despite her heavy set body. There were two following the other six, but luckily they were able to keep up.
"How you doing, Tannis." The wolf woman questioned to the girl behind her as she trotted on all fours.
"Great, Winnie. I've got built-in leg warmers." The bandaged beauty said while bringing up the rear of the singe file parade. As the group of eight were running the spirit's foot landed not on dirt, but on flesh.
"Matches, how about burning up a few miles?" Danny questioned after running past the digging dragon. The guard dog heard the question even while being in the ground, so he decided to give the questioner a straight answer.
"Uhn-Uhn." He said back while turning his head from his right shoulder to his left shoulder and back again. The trio saw this and did not want to test him any further.
"Sorry I asked." Fenton said after remembering what he had done to Ben and did not want to suffer a similar fate. Feeling that a fellow flame-thrower needed some reassurance Jake spoke out.
"Matches: train? The guy is as tough as me." The New Yorker commented after he and the others rushed past him. The team kept on running for a bit until the black and white haired one spoke out to the group.
"I just love running through the trees." Frankenteen said and emphasized her point by plowing through three of the trees without feeling a thing afterward.
"Me too!" The female spirit explained while phasing through the fallen trees. The daughter of an electro-monster was filled with so much adrenaline and electricity that she was able to race past the three human formed teachers.
"Last one home's a rotten apple." She said to the three while passing them. Unknown to her was that the shockwaves from her foot stomps were so great that they caused one of the trees to lose it's products. Despite Danny, Jake, and Ben's various training days they were unprepared by the green apples, tumbling on them, and slamming into a tree.
"As long as we're here we might as well take a break. And a bite." The ghost child said with his back to the base of the tree before grabbing a fallen fruit.
"Yeah, a bite." Tennyson added while regretting that he landed belly first on the spirit's lap, but ignored that and grabbed an apple; Jake did the same. The trio bit into them, and were surprised by the taste.
"These taste like Lunchlady's meatballs covered in Skulker motor oil." The Amity Park apparition commented.
"To me they remind me of rotisserie style Dung Beetle Balls." Ben said to them before shivering at that memory of eating said tool. Right when Jake was about to speak of the…food that Bertha, the giant, made for him, he was interrupted.
"Oh. Don't you like crab apples? They're fang-tastic." The vampire said to them, unknowingly cutting off to what the dragon is about to say. She then took great pleasure into biting the apple in her hand two times and then suck on what's inside with pleasure. "They're rotten." She added while dropping shriveled piece of fruit.
"They aren't half bad, right Ben." Danny commented to her after standing up. When the changeling didn't answer him he glanced over and saw that the fellow hero was gazing at the student sheepishly.
'Okay, that was kind of hot.' The brown haired youth thought as he watched the whole thing. The thought left him when he saw the somewhat angered look from the ghost causing him to go back to reality. "Yeah…yeah they sure are." He said with hesitation of being caught. "In fact I may take a few for the road." He said before activating the watch.
"Echo Echo!" The white alien shouted aloud once the light faded. At that moment the one small alien turned into ten - each of them grabbed two apples, and headed out.
"Come on guys. Let's keep going." Jake said while dining on the crab apple in his claw. As the seventeen continued to run the guys heard their lady friends deeply enjoy their fruits: since they too decided to pick some. While the group of youngsters were finishing the latest exercise routine the guardian of the household was putting away his latest prize; the sad thing is that his actions did not go unnoticed.
"Matches, how many times do I have to tell you? Don't dig in the pumpkin patch." The red cloaked woman said to her pet with the hand spirit mimicking her own hand motions. "We need them all for our Halloween open house." She explained to him as the five digit fiend flew off to carve two eyes and a mouth on an average pumpkin.
'Not bad work.' The spirit thought as the final of three parts fell to reveal a classic scary face.
"And you certainly can't carve that into a jack - o` - lantern." Grimwood finished her comment after seeing the carved pumpkin over to her left. "Now get rid of it." She ordered to the smaller creature before doing what she originally came out to do: watching her girls, and made sure these coaches treated them fairly.
"Just can't please this woman." The dragon grumbled in his native tongue as he lifted the…gift from the boys out of the hole, and walked off. While the girls were running with the heroes and the dragon was doing as his friend said the cadets were working on a plan.
"Here's another water balloon, Grunt." The smallest of the five said after filling up a red balloon with the outdoor faucet, and handed it to the man in question. The kid in question took the item, but had to clarify something even though that his friends have already what they were planning.
"What are these for anyway, Tug?" The strength factor questioned while handing it to their field leader.
"Ammunition." The blonde said back after taking the balloon from his fellow fighter.
"Check. Ammunition." The taller one to their leader's right said after marking on a clipboard checklist. He then turned to his friend and asked in a calm tone, "How's that air bazooka coming, Miguel?" The boy that the question was aimed at was hard at work with the spoken device.
"Be patient, guys. It's surplus surplus. Some assembling is required." He said back to the others as he was trying to combine the last piece of the metal puzzle to the rest, but was having problems. 'Like it would have killed her to have this thing already built.' He thought before hearing the pieces click into one form. "There." He said to the current stock boy who was coming to his direction.
"Check. Bazooka." The speed factor said after striking it from the list. No sooner then he finished his stroke that the cousin to a poet walked over to the two - wanting a new answer.
"Is this gonna get our ball back, Jamal?" He questioned since he still had his doubts over the whole thing, but he did not want to jinx the team.
"Check. Affirmative." He said back to the other with a confident smile. Knowing that if that bazooka was built by his cousin's friend then it would work no problem. At that time their team's tech-head had left the strength and the speed and was heading to their captain.
"Uh, maybe we should test it out first." The uniformed youth suggested with a stutter at the beginning since he also received with the package a note that warned him that this was a proto-type, and his family member's proto-types often had the tendency to make a situation worse.
"Good idea, Miguel. But not till I say: fire." The leader instructed to the weapon specialist. The gun totter nodded and took aim at the neighboring building . "This should put out that pup's fire." Tug said while looking at their projectile in question, and was ready to load it but not before hearing a question from the current marksman.
"Fire?" Miguel questioned since he wanted to make sure he heard his friend right. At that moment the blonde battler realized that he was about to be the victim in one of the biggest gags in comedy, so he had to set things right.
"No! Not…" He said to his bazooka hauler, but was too late and suffered a high powered blast of air - sending him flying. "…yet!" He shouted while in the air. On his way down he landed on the one man he did not want to insult.
"Cadet Detweiler what is the meaning of this?" The colonel of the school said through the skin of the balloon.
"I can explain everything, sir." The boy in question said nervously as he stared at his commanding officer's angry expression. 'Great, I'm turning into him.' Tug thought since there was a part of him that was rolling with laughter over what he had done.
"Check. We're in trouble." Jamal said after checking a statement in red which read: This will not end well. He too, like the others had a small piece of themselves that were laughing at what just happened to Calloway. As this argument was about to start the small creature had made his way back to the hedge barrier.
"Stupid cadets. I don't know why I have to give this back." Matches grumbled before launching it back at them with his tail. As he did that Tug gave his friend their commander's hat while he tried to sort things out.
"Our volleyball was missing in action, sir." The field leader said to his leader calmly.
"So, we planned a recovery action." Jamal explained while trying to wring out all the water that was splashed on the hat. Unknown to them - the object in question was heading back to them. After it went over the hedge the ball slammed the colonel right in the face. As soon as it left Calloway's face the newest member caught in his hands.
'Hey, I caught it. Cool.' Baxter thought - surprised that he was able to catch the speedy target.
"I'm the one in need of recovery. Report to the Volleyball court." Colonel Calloway commanded to the five in-training youths. "At once!" He added for emphasis while pointing to where he had personally put it.
"Yes, sir!" The group shouted while saluting in honor before marching their way to that sports spot.
"Hup. Hup. Hup. Hup." Calloway said as they left them, but noticed that the tallest of the five stopped in front of him with an, 'Oh yeah' expression.
"Your hat, Colonel Calloway." The youth said after facing the leader of the school and gave him the item in question.
"Thank you, Cadet LaSalle…" The older man said, feeling humbled that the youth of today would do something as selfless as this. When the exchange was complete Jamal headed off to the others, but no sooner then he left that side of the yard that something strange happened to his commanding officer. "…for nothing." He added as he felt his hat shrink down to the size of a doll hat.
"Come and get it, my little ones." Grimwood, who left the girls sight to get something from the house, said on her way to a picnic table with a white tablecloth on it. The three heroes, who gave the girls a break from training heard the statement and rushed over to the table in the distance.
"I thought you'd never ask." The land based speed demon said after sitting on a wooden chair with a dragon to his left and a ghost to his right. "Running really revs up the appetite. Right, Jake?" The Kineceleran added to the red beast beside him.
"Yep, it sure does." The New Yorker said before lifting the lid to the serving tray that the headmistress put on the table.
"Now, those look pretty tasty." The spirit of PE commented after getting an eyeful of the steaks hidden under the dome. The head female appreciated their words, and decided to respond to them.
"Oh, I certainly hope so." She said while noticing that the one closest to the meat was eyeing it out of hunger.
"Time for some real food." Long told them even though he did enjoy the taste of the apples; nothing out weighed the flavor of meat. He closed his eyes out of happiness and decided to pick them up with his claws, but when he opened his eyes he saw that his hand was stuck in the table. "What the?" He questioned aloud and saw that the woman was carrying them to a plant creature.
"Nothing's too good for my garden." She informed them while heading to an almost familiar sight. "Come and get it." She said in a sing-song voice to three plants which with the help of the hand spirit fed them the steaks in question.
'Not bad meat. Not bad at all.' The first of the three thought as it ate the chuck of meat tossed to it. One of the teachers was not taking this very well:
"HEY! Those overgrown flytraps are grabbing all the grub." Danny shouted in anger. His statement however got on the changeling's nerves.
"No offense, but I sort of resemble that remark." XLR8 said to the ghost guardian in a miffed tone.
"Sorry about that." The fellow hero said in an apologetic tone. As most of the girls relaxed in the woods around them Tannis saw their teachers and decided to show them that she can be helpful in anything that they might need.
"Can I feed this one, Miss Grimwood? Can I?" The mummy girl questioned after walking up to head of her home. The older woman saw that she really wanted to help, so she decided to give the young one a shot.
"Of course, Tannis. But be careful. They sometimes bite the hand that feeds them." She explained to the student, and saw that the helping hand unintentionally demonstrated what she meant.
'I don't care if you are a favorite in this garden. I want out now!' The hand thought as it tried to bash it's way, but was having some resistance. After a few more blows the five fingered fiend was out. 'That was for nearly eating me.' The hand thought after giving the flytrap an uppercut.
"Don't worry. I'll be careful." The young one said before tossing the steak, which was offered to her, into the air. The plant stretched a bit and snatched it from the air. 'That was easy.' She thought while walking away, but Miss Grimwood noticed something bad about what had happened, and had to address it.
"How many times do I have to tell you? Chew before you swallow." She explained to her beloved plant in anger. The vegetation did not understand her concern until it let out a strange burp. "See?" She questioned knowing now that her friend realized the mistake it has made.
"Yo, let's beat it before she gives us that lector." The dragon whispered to the others. With a nod they dashed off to a different part of the ghoul school property. After a few moments the white haired hero saw something.
"Guy's up ahead - I think it's a garden." He informed aloud causing the other two to see what he was seeing. "Now, let's split up. There must be something to eat in this garden!" The youngest Fenton suggested when they all got there; the other gave him a nod and headed out.
"Hey, I found some tomatoes." Jake informed them while flying close to the ground and saw something red. Thanks to a few tips from his mom the young hero knew when a tomato was ready to be plucked, but he could tell that these were way beyond that point. 'Time to put this claws to new use.' Long thought before landing. He then used his left index finger to poke small hole in one of them before angling his mouth so that it would spray right on his tongue. "A little rotten, but not bad." He said aloud and continued what he was doing.
"Here's some squash." The ghost informed them in his legless state. Similar to Jake, Danny also picked up on a few food tips and knew that these were not meant for human consumption. "Thankfully, I'm only half human." He muttered before carefully one up, but saw that it was starting turning to paste as soon as it was off the ground. 'Got to work fast.' He thought before tapping into his multi-image ability, thanks to his foes he was able to master it, and his copies were able to eat it as it fell apart.
"Not bad." One of three copies informed the original while lying under where the vegetable once was.
"Good to know. Now help me with that one." Phantom classic issued to them before getting ready to try a squishable squash with his own taste buds. The third was having a slightly harder time.
'I never was that good at just walking as XLR8.' The alien thought before saying aloud. "Time to go low-tech." That said he hit the hourglass symbol on his chest.
"Time to have a closer look at this garden." Ben said as he walked around not knowing that the other four girls decided to watch the guys at work.
'I'm gonna have to make Jake some Rotten Tomato Juice." The land based fang user thought as she watched the American Dragon drink up some rotten tomatoes. The one to her left, Sibella, was curious as to what the third was doing.
'That looks promising.' Tennyson thought after catching a glimpse of a familiar favorite. "Watermelon: perfect." The hero of Bellwood said before walking over to them. There was a problem which was as soon as he poked it the item in question deflated.
'Guess he found my favorite part of the garden.' The violet vampire thought as she saw the boy before her analyzing the skin that was left behind. Ben just shrugged and picked up the remains of the three out of four of them.
"Kinda tastes like Fruit by the Foot." The shape-shifter said after taking a bite out of it. He then noticed the watchers and decided to address them while eating. "This thing may have expired, but it's still good." He said to the vampire and werewolf before adding, "By the way everything in that garden seems totally rotten." Both ghouls felt a little modest by what he had just said.
"Thanks we do our best." The taller young woman said with a smile to the brown haired youth. After slurping down the rest of the first one Ben decided to give her a response to that.
"And I bet you have done most of this work by yourself, eh Sibella?" The young warrior questioned in a complimenting style. Due to her skin tone he was unaware that she was blushing from that comment. Grimwood noticed that the group of three left the table, but spotted them over in the garden, and heard his sentence causing herself to speak up.
"Actually, they all have, but every so often , something fresh sneaks in." She informed with the strength factor of the school beside her. For a moment the trio saw what she meant until Elsa demonstrated her main ability by ripping it by the roots and tossing it aside. "Thank you Elsa." She said, complimenting on keeping their garden pure.
"Rip corn…YEACH!" Frankenteen said in disdain while shaking her head.
"Watermelon skins and crab apples are great and all, but man what I wouldn't give for a pizza, or at least a smoothie." Ben informed them after finishing up the second skin. It was at that time that the wolf came up with a plan, but it all depended on if the schools flier was up for it.
"How much allowance do you have left, Sibella?" The orange/brown furred girl questioned her fellow monster. She knew that out of the five of them she was the best one to manage money.
"A Transylvania dollar." She answered back while digging into her left pocket just below her red sash. It only took a moment to remember the specials to the 13 beast bar & grill before finishing her plan.
"We should have enough. Get flapping!" The wolfet said to the fellow female. After grabbing both sides of her long hair she transformed into her bat form, and flew off leaving the human smiling.
'She makes transforming almost as cool as I do.' He thought while watching her fly off. As he was doing that Danny was still floating in the garden looking for something - anything that resembled standard human food.
"Now that's some weird melons." He said after spotting something purple on a long, green stem. "What the?!" He shouted in alarm once it opened halfway: revealing an eye. After floating back he saw that the neighboring purple thing was an eye as well. "Got to show the others, but for now…" Danny said before stalling to fire an ice blast at them, freezing them solid. "Guy's we may have problem. I just saw some eyes." He said while floating over to the green jacketed one.
"Rice?" He questioned after shaking his head, clearing his mind from a strange daydream. "They have rice in there too, cool." He said and thought of all the different combos he could do with that form of bread.
"Clean the Stinkfly goo out of your ears! I said eyes." Danny shouted angrily while pointing to the body part he was speaking of. "Let's get Jake, and I'll show you." He informed to the other, but as they did that something strange went down with the new pieces of the garden.
"What are you talking about Phantom, I don't see any eyes." The dragon said after slurping his fifth tomato, and headed over to where the ghost claimed he saw the strange objects.
"You must be hungrier then me." Tennyson said after finishing off the third skin while remembering that his grandfather told him that hunger can often bring hallucinations.
'Whatever you two, I know what I saw.' Danny thought with an angered look on his face. Right when the group was thinking of what they can talk about they all heard a howl. The group turned to the only one that had that kind of skill out of the five to see if there was anything wrong.
"You won't be hungry for long, guys." The blue dressed girl informed before pointing as to why she was sure of what she said. The guys saw that it was Sibella returning from her trip complete with a box and a cup.
"One pizza to go with everything on it." She said while tossing to cup to the sky, and tossing the lid to the side. "Except garlic, of course." She added as she glanced for a moment at the pizza before looking at the other.
"Smells wonderful. Smell great." Danny said as he dove into the pizza provided.
"Yeah." The dragon added while doing the same as the first. Ben also took a slice, and like the others started eating it.
"What's on this one, anyway?" The spirit questioned after taking a break from chewing. He felt like asking it since it didn't taste like any pie he has ever had.
"Oh, the usual: spider webs, snails, and tadpole tails." She explained to them. The guys all nodded and continued to enjoy it without so much as a grimace.
"It is very delicious, Sibella." Jake said to her since he did not want to seem ungrateful for the big snack not noticing that Ben was eyeing him for some reason or another.
"While we're snacking, you girls get cracking on some more jogging." Fenton offered to them before taking another bite. "Coming, Ben?" He questioned to the third who seemed to be interested in the sky.
"In a minute." He said to the others with his eyes glued to the skies.
"Well, I guess we'll see you, and the girls back at the school." The hero of Amity Park stated before heading off.
"You got it you cute little ghost-coach, you." Phantasma said, this time a little more in control of her action while around her idol. The two decided to take a few paces and then wait for their friend to show up.
"So, Sibella, what's in that cup?" The wearer of the watch questioned when he saw the object in question coming back at them.
"Oh…" She started to say, but stalled so she could catch it effortlessly, and continued with, "This is a simple swamp sludge and rotten berries smoothie." He stared at the outstretched arm with a raised eyebrow. 'Does he not like it?' She thought out of fear, but was relieved when he took the cup and took a sip.
"Not bad. I like it." He shouted in praise before taking the pizza as well before heading off to the others. As he was meeting with the others one voice was whispered into the delivery girl's ear.
"You must really like him if you went that extra mile for him." Phantasma said to her friend. As always she dealt with this question calm and collected.
"I simply believe I needed to thank him for transforming in the middle of ballet practice to avoid any awkwardness from me or anyone else." She said causing the female spirit to snap her fingers in annoyance. The hero on the other hand just made it to the others.
"Thanks for waiting." The tardy one commented causing the others to shrug it off. As they walked off Danny's discovery reappeared behind them.
"So, the Grimwood girls have a new coach." A voice viewing them on the other side of the eyes said while watching them walk away. "He'll fit perfectly into my plan." The owner of the voice said after a short evil laugh session while looking at Danny Phantom.
"It was a good thing I dropped my Venus Spytraps into Grimwood's garden!" A tentacle themed minion stated while viewing them as well.
"You have done well, my Grim Creeper." The taller of the two said after having their spying devices go low to the ground, but remain active. 'I'm just grateful that you used frost resistant spy devices.' The head enemy thought before walking away from the view port. "Soon I will have all those good little ghouls in my grasp. And then I, Revolta, the witch of the web…will be the most powerful witch in all of monster Dom." The green haired woman said to her lackey. She, the Grim Creeper, and the other grunts laughed about the success of her plan. As for the girls immediate threat the cadets have changed to their yellow/blue Volleyball outfits and have been training all this time.
"Nice spike, Baxter!" The groups field leader commented after the smallest of the five spiked a ball that was served by Jamal. "That's the kind of teamwork we need for Calloway Military to stay on top!" He added while clapping for their accomplishment.
"Affirmative. They don't stand a chance against my behind-the-back-pass attack!" The athlete of the group said while self serving the ball three times over before tossing it to the mechanical member.
"All the way with Calloway." Miguel said while serving it over the net. It was at that time that their commanding officer stopped over to see how they were doing.
"That's the spirit, men." He congratulated them over the tactics that they have made for this latest encounter.
"Yes, sir!" The group said and saluted. In the midst of the salute Baxter was flung off of Grunts shoulder causing Tug to catch his battling brother. With his hands caught he had to let the ball bounce off of his head to get back to the other side.
"No fair, Tug! That's a carry." The big haired boy complained after missing his one chance to return the return. The colonel saw this and decided to congratulate him on this new tactic.
"Keep using your head, Detweiler. I'm going to Miss Grimwood's to arrange our game." Colonel Calloway informed them even though that that was just a formality. He walked out of their gate, through their gate, and past the down drawbridge. He rang the doorbell once, and waited for a response. Inside the girls were in the ballet room relaxing in there before they tried something else.
"All that exercise really loosened you up, Tannis." The headmistress commented to the owner of the bandages and helped her readdress the wrappings. The youngling was happy for the assistance since she never could keep the wrappings on right by herself. "A little too much." She added as to not scare the young lady too much.
"Miss Grimwood, it's me! Colonel Calloway!" The man at the door shouted after knocking on the door three times. The woman had heard both the doorbell and the knock and decided that it would only be proper to answer it, but she still needed to tend to the wrapping, so she looked around for assistance. On the far wall she saw that the daughter of Dracula was sitting on the Ballet balance bar watching her help out a fellow student.
"Will you get the door for me, Sibella?" The older woman asked her student politely
"You bat I will." The student in question stated before transforming into her bat form. Outside of the door was the mystery hand saw her pass by, and knew where she was heading.
'Time to scare that silly, old man.' The helper thought before floating to the door, and opened it without revealing himself to the visitor.
