Chapter 2: Not Impossible, Just Challenging

Hey everyone I'm back. Wow I am amazed how many people were interested in this story, it inspired me to keep writing until I got this chapter finished. I've been getting a lot of good ideas for this story and I hope you'll like it. Please Review and Enjoy.

It had been a month since Drake and Draculaura had become friends and they hung out almost everyday since then, at first Drake was surprised to see a Vampire out in the sun, but Draculaura told him that it was just another lie made up by the movies.

"Okay so what about Garlic? Is that poison to you guys?" Drake asks as he and Draculaura were sitting on a log talking.

"No, just allergic. Can't eat that stuff." Draculaura said.

"Alright what about turning into a bat?" Drake asks.

"I'm still working on it my dad is taking me out to practice flying tonight." Draculaura said.

"Okay what about Wooden Stake through the heart?" Drake asks.

"Uh who wouldn't die from that?" Draculaura rolls her eyes.

"Good point. Wow so your dad is the real Count Dracula." Drake said.

"Yeah he's a good dad, but he's really old school. Not very trusting towards others." Draculaura said.

"So I guess I won't be visiting your house anytime soon." Drake sighs.

"Sorry." She apologizes.

"It's cool, I like that we hang out like this." Drake smiles.

"Me too Drake, you're the first friend I've had in ages. Hey maybe next time you can meet Webby?" Draculaura said.

"Is he friendly?" Drake asks.

"Very." She said. "Well you now know about my family, tell me about yours."

"Well my parents are teachers." Drake said as they continued talking but little did they know a battle was taking place right above Earth in middle of space. A large red ship was attacking a smaller blue ship.

"Prepare to fire." A sinister voice from the large ship said. Stepping out of the shadows was a large grey alien with what looked like an octopus for a head in black armor. This was Vilgax. "Let nothing leave that ship. I must have the Omnitrix." He orders.

As night came Drake and Draculaura said their goodbyes. At Draculaura's house she was listening to her music with headphones on when a man with white hair and glasses floated outside her window and knocked on her window. This was Count Dracula, her father.

"Draculaura?" He said knocking on her window again, but she was too into her song until Webby stood in front of her and points to the window.

Turning her head, she saw Dracula opening the window. "Draculaura are you ready?"

"Hey dad!" She said taking off her headphones. "Oh right, it's tonight. I can do this." She said taking a deep breath as she made her way to the roof.

"You know maybe we can do this another time, when you're more comfortable." Dracula said.

"I'm perfectly comfortable now dad." Draculaura said.

"I'm just saying. Now remember, you can never be too cautious. The outside world is dangerous. It's filled with…humans!" Dracula said all scary like.

"Oh no! Not the humans!" Draculaura mocks.

"This is no laughing matter, they may look innocent enough, but humans are one of the most dangerous species on earth." He said.

'Oh please Drake isn't scary at all.' Draculaura thought.

"It's essential that you never let one see you. They're just not ready to accept us." Dracula said.

"Dad you don't know that, I bet if you saw a human you would change your mind." Draculaura said.

"Promise me, Vamp's honor." He said.

"Ugh I promise. Now if you don't mind…" Draculaura stretches and starts running before jumping into the air turning into a bat but ends up crashing onto a roof turning back into her vampire form.

"Not all vampires get the bat transformation on their first try. Second time's the charm." Dracula said as Draculaura got up and ran to the edge transforming into a bat again. "That's my gho—"

He was stopped as Dracularua transformed back to normal and hit the roof causing him to wince.

"It's okay. I got this. So close. Maybe not." Draculaura said as she crashed into the roof again and again. Just before she hit the ground Dracula transforms into a bat and catches her bringing her back up to the roof.

"Ugh I can't do this. It's impossible!" Draculaura groans.

"Not impossible, just challenging. Come on. Let's try it together." Dracula said as he jumped off the roof and transformed into a bat. Draculaura takes a deep breath and jumps off the roof transforming into a bat a third time.

Flapping her wings as hard as she could Draculaura was finally able to stay up in the air causing her to smile widely.

"Hey. I did it!" She cheers flying up into the air as Dracula smiles.

"That's my ghoul." He said holding back the tears as he flew after her.

Up in space the battle was getting intense as the blue ship was hit again.

"Thruster systems disabled."

"Prepare to board. I want the Omnitrix now." Vilgax orders.

As Vilgax was about to board the blue ship retaliates and fires a powerful blast creating a big flash of light allowing a purple beam a chance to shoot out and heads towards Earth before the ship was boarded by Vilgax.

On the outskirts of town Drake was walking past an old power plant as he made his way home.

"I hope Draculaura does well it would be cool to see her flying through the air." Drake said when he noticed something shining in the sky above. "Whoa a Shooting Star." Suddenly the star turns towards Drake causing him to panic as he runs out of the way before it crashes into the ground creating a large crater.

Up in the skies Draculaura and her dad were flying through the air when they heard the crash.

"What was that?" Draculaura asks.

"It came from over there." Dracula points causing Draculaura to gasp.

'That's where Drake went.' She thought as she quickly flew towards the crash site.

"Draculaura stop!" He said flying after her.

Drake walks up to the crater and tries to figure out what just crashed.

"Looks like a satellite." Drake said when rocks under him crumbled causing Drake to fall and land near the container. When it opens Drake sees a blue watch lying inside. "A watch? What's a watch doing in outer space?" Drake reaches out to grab when the watch jumps at him and latches onto his left arm. "Ah! Get it off! Get off me!" Drake said freaking out trying to rip it off.

Up in the air Draculaura was closing in on the old power plant when Dracula flew in front of her. "Draculaura stop!"

"But dad!"

"What if a human sees you? You could be a trouble, humans are dangerous creatures." Dracula reminds her.

"Not all of them." Draculaura said causing her father to gasp. "I've wanted to tell for awhile. About a month ago I met someone his name his Drake."

"YOU MET A HUMAN?!" Dracula said outraged.

"But dad it's not what you think, he's not like those from back then he's really nice." Draculaura said.

"My number 1 rule and you broke it. How could you?" Dracula asks.

"I'm sorry, but right now my friend could be in trouble and he might need my help." Draculaura said flying past her father.

"She is in so much trouble when this is over." Dracula said as he flew after her.

Back with Drake he was doing everything he could to pry the watch off him, but nothing was working.

Slumping in defeat he touches the watch and suddenly it activated. "Huh?" From it an image of a strange creature appeared. Reaching down Drake touches it and from it a bright blue flash appears as he transforms into a large plant humanioid creature with hair that resembled flames and on his chest was a blue and black hourglass.

Drake lets out a scream of fear as he examined his body. "What happened to me?!" He screams when Draculaura changes out of her bat mode to see the creature running around.

"What kind of Monster is that?" She asks curiously when Drake turns to her.

"Draculaura! Oh man am I glad to see you!" He said running over scaring her. "Now I know this looks weird but please don't freak out."

"Stay away from my daughter!" Drake looks up to see Dracula jump in and deliver a kick to his face knocking to the ground.

"Dad!"

"Wait! Wait! Wait! I come in peace! Draculaura it's me your best friend! When we met I bought you that Tash album!" Drake said as Dracula was about to attack him again.

"Wait dad!" Draculaura said running in front of him.

"Draculaura what are you doing?" Dracula asks as she approaches Drake.

"Drake? Is that you?" Draculaura asks surprising her father. "What happened to you?"

"Well I was walking home when this meteor fell from the sky. Only it wasn't a meteor but a watch, I tried to get it off, but it was stuck to my wrist. Next thing I know I'm this weird thing." Drake said waving his arms when suddenly a fireball appears in his hands causing Draculaura and her father to jump back in shock.

"Dad we have to get him out of here, what if someone sees him?" Draculaura said.

Dracula looks at her daughter and Drake and sighs. "Alright follow us." He said as he and Draculaura turned into bats.

As they walked away none of them noticed a figure with blue and green eyes in the window of the power plant had seen the whole thing.

Up above them in space the blue ship was destroyed and Vilgax's ship was damaged.

In the medical room the remains of Vilgax's body was inside. He had lost both his legs and an arm.

"What do you mean it's not there? This battle nearly cost me my life and you say the Omnitrix is no longer on board the transport." Vilgax said enraged.

"Sensors indicate one of the crew members on board escaped to the planet below." A minion said.

"Find it…bring it back to me." Vilgax said as a shadowy figure left the room.

At Draculaura's house tensions were high as Dracula and Draculaura were looking at Drake's new form.

"So uh Drake my daughter says you're a human." Dracula narrows his eyes.

"Yes sir, she's my best friend." Drake said.

"How do I know this isn't a trick, you could just be pretending." He said when Webby crawls down towards Drake.

"Is this Webby?" Drake asks as Draculaura nods. "Hey there little guy." Drake said petting him.

"So, this watch just jumped onto your wrist and changed you into a monster?" Draculaura asks.

"I swear that's what happened." Drake said.

"I've never heard of such a thing." Dracula said when he notices Drake staring at him. "Is there something you'd like to say?"

"Sorry it's just wow. You're the real Count Dracula bleh, bleh, bleh." Drake said causing Draculaura to giggle.

"I have never said that in my life." Dracula narrows his eyes.

"But seriously what am I gonna do? How am I gonna explain this to my mom and dad?" Drake asks when a beeping goes off on his hourglass and turns him back into his human form.

Draculaura and her dad look in shock to see the real Drake standing in front of them. "I'm me again." He smiles.

"Well that's a relief." Draculaura smiles.

Meanwhile in space a figure shot out of Vilgax's ship towards the crash site, expanding in size a large black robot with glowing red eyes looked at the container containing the Omnitrix and destroys it. Firing two discs off his shoulder they turn into two small robots who fly ahead and scan the area.

"Alright Drake, I have one more question for you. Why is it that you even became friends with my daughter in the first place?" Dracula asks.

Drake sits down and sighs. "Because making friends was never easy for me, I was always an outcast. I mean I'm not that cool, I'm average when it comes to school, I just didn't feel like I really had a real friend until I met Draculaura." Drake said causing her to smile.

Dracula stands up and walks over to him causing both him, Draculaura and Webby to have panicked looks on their faces before a smile forms on Dracula's face. "If only humans back then we're more like you."

The three of them smile. "So Drake and I can still be friend?" Draculaura asks.

"I don't see the harm, but we need to figure out how you can turn into monsters." Dracula said.

"Agreed." Drake nods.

"I'll make some fresh bat tea." Dracula said.

"Yeah and I better call my parents." Drake said when they heard a ringing and knocking sound surprising Dracula and Draculaura as they ran to it.

"Someone's at the door?" Draculaura asks.

"No one's rung that bell for 150 years." Dracula said.

"Hey, I know you're in there." A female voice said.

"No one saw you two, right?" Dracula asks.

"I don't think so." Drake said.

"Of course not I—"

"I saw you today I saw you and that boy change forms." She said causing Drake and Draculaura to panic while Dracula glares.

"Oops." Drake said.

"You can open up. I'm one of you." She said as Draculaura looks through the eye hole and gasps.

"What are you doing?" Dracula asks as she opened the door.

"She's one of us!" She smiles as they see a girl with green skin, stitches and she was holding her left hand right hand.

"Whoa." Drake said in shock.

Inside Drake was on the phone with his parents.

"I know it's late mom and I promise I'll be home soon." Drake said as Dracula was taking in their new house guests.

"Alright Drake but be careful." She said as Drake hung up.

"Bat tea?" Dracula offers their guests.

"Thanks Mr. D. It's really nice of you to let me stay here." She said causing Dracula to glare at his daughter.

"She can share my bedroom." Draculaura said excited.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa let's just pump the proverbial breaks here for a minute. I haven't seen another monster in decades, we still don't know who she is or where she came from." Dracula said.

"I'm Frankie, my pops is Frankenstein." She said striking a pose like Frankenstein. "After the Great Fright Flight he went into hiding like everyone else. It gets lonely all by yourself." Frankie sighs.

"Tell me about, I was lucky when I met Drake." Draculaura said as he walked over. "Please dad."

"I let you have the human not to mention Webby." Dracula said.

"He's a spider dad." She said.

"My answer is final." Dracula said as Draculaura gave the puppy dog pout. "That's not going to work with me." He said when Frankie joins in. "Enough! Okay she can stay!" Dracula said cracking.

Making their way up to Draculaura's room she, Frankie and Drake laid on top the roof.

"So wait this watch turned you into that monster earlier?" Frankie asks as Drake was examining it.

"Yeah, but I can't seem to get it off." Drake said fidgeting with it. "Man this stinks."

"You're one weird normie." Frankie said.

"Normie?" Drake asks.

"You know Normal, human." Frankie said.

"My best friend's a vampire. I'm the farthest thing from normal." Drake smirks as his fidgeted with the watch.

"Hey Drake, have you ever thought of using that watch to help people?" Draculaura suggests.

"What do you mean?" Drake asks.

"Well you're human, but you can change into monsters. Maybe that could be good for us." She said.

"Hey yeah, you could be like an ambassador for Monsters and humans." Frankie said as Drake looked at his new forms.

"That would be something." Drake smirks when he noticed an interesting looking form. "Should I?"

"Yeah let's see what else you can turn into." Draculaura said as Drake clicks it and a bright blue light shoots out as Drake transforms into a vampire like monster with a black and blue jumpsuit and the hourglass logo on his chest.

"Whoa." Frankie said as she and Draculaura stood up.

"Well this is different." Drake said.

"Drake…you look almost like a vampire." Draculaura said in awe examining him.

"I think I know how this thing works now. You just—" Drake stops as he senses something. "Look out!" Drake said tackling Frankie and Draculaura out of the way as a laser almost blasts them.

Looking up they saw two black robots flying towards them.

Running along the roof Drake takes off and flies into the air smashing into one of the robots grabbing onto its head. "Leave my friends alone!" Drake said as he scratched the robot many times with his claws until the other one blasts him off.

"Hang on Drake!" Draculaura said changing into a bat and flying towards him.

As the two robots flew at him Draculaura released a sonic screech making the robots come to stop.

Using this opportunity Drake flies in and rips the head off one before flying over to Draculaura.

"Thanks." Drake smiles.

"Anytime." Draculaura said when the second robot flew at them before they could react, but before it struck it got zapped by a powerful jolt of electricity making it short circuit and explode.

Looking to the roof they saw the electric attack came from Frankie. "Sorry metalhead nobody hurts my friends." She smirks.

Back in Draculaura's room the three of them were sitting down.

"Alright, so it works like this. You click this button and the watch activates, you then rotate it until it lands on the monster you want, you then slam it down and you're 16 different creatures." Drake explains.

"Amazing, but how do we know they're really monsters?" Frankie asks.

"Well that last one did resemble a vampire, maybe it has other monsters in there too." Draculaura said when a news alert appeared on her laptop.

"What the?" Draculaura said walking over and turning it on.

"Hello viewers, you are not going to believe this, but we are under attack by what appears to be a-a giant robot." The news anchor said as the three of them gasp.

"It must be with the things that attacked us earlier." Frankie said.

"They must be here for the watch." Drake said looking at it.

"Those poor normies, what do we do?" Draculaura asks knowing that they couldn't reveal themselves.

Drake pauses to think and gets an idea. "Girls follow me."

On the outskirts of town Drake, Draculaura and Frankie were at the edge of the woods. Looking to them both girls nod as Drake activates the watch and scrolls through the forms until he slams it down turning him into a green crystal-like monster with blue and black designs and the hourglass symbol on the on his belt.

"What can this one do?" Draculaura asks.

"I don't know. But I hope it's enough." Drake said.

On the edge of town people were screaming as the large robot was firing lasers everywhere causing multiple explosions.

"Whoa that's a lot bigger than the ones from earlier." Frankie said.

"I'll get his attention, you girls stay hidden." Drake said about to run in when Draculaura grabs his hand.

"Good luck." Draculaura said as Drake nods.

As the police pulled up and started firing at the robot their bullets just bounced off its body before it reached down and grabbed an officer.

"Hey! Leave him alone!" Drake said as the police looked in shock.

"What is that thing?"

"It's it's a monster!"

The robot scans Drakes form and sees the hourglass logo on his chest causing it to drop the Police officer and turn to face him.

Drake takes a fighting stance when the robot fires a laser from its hand blasting him into a police car and then zapping the car causing an explosion.

From the wreckage Drake's arm turns into a blade and he slices an opening through the hood of the car. "Okay I can work with this."

Standing up Drake rushed towards the robot and swings his arm hoping to chop it in half, but the robot jumps in the air and slams down on Drake causing Draculaura and Frankie to wince.

"That looked painful." Draculaura said.

Reaching down the robot grabs Drake's arm hoping to rip it off, but instead Drake's arm turns into a blade and slices the robot's arm off causing the robot to throw him into a building.

Growling Drake picks himself up and turns both his arms into blades and charges at the robot who fires another laser at him. Raising his arm, the laser was deflected off him and hit a car causing Drake's eyes to widen.

"Hey ugly! Come on and hit me right here!" Drake said pointing to his chest.

Putting loads of power into the laser the robot fires it at Drake who holds out his hand and blocks the blast.

"What goes around, comes around." Drake said as delfected the blast making it slice the robot in half destroying it.

From the forest Frankie and Draculaura cheered, but when the humans turned they quickly hid behind some trees.

"Well uh I guess my work here is done." Drake said running off as the police and citizens look around.

"What was that thing?"

"Whatever it was, it saved us all."

Up above the Earth Vilgax's ship was undergoing repairs when he heard about the most recent failure.

"Failure? Unacceptable. The earthling that stole the Omnitrix from me…will soon hang on my trophy wall." Vilgax vows.

After the battle Drake, Draculaura and Frankie were walking him back to his house.

"Drake that was amazing. I've never seen something so voltageous." Frankie smiles.

"You know I think I could get used to having this thing." Drake smiles looking at his watch.

"See Drake I told you you could be a hero." Draculaura said.

"A hero huh?" Drake smiles.

"You know Drake when I hang out with you and Frankie I almost feel normal." Draculaura said.

"How so?" Drake asks.

"I mean I would love to make friends and throw parties." Draculaura said.

"Ooh and go to a coffee shop with funny sounding names." Frankie added.

"It could be called a Coffin Shop." Draculaura said.

"Well what if we did?" Drake suggests. "Think about it, look at the three of us, monsters and a human hanging out. What if we made a place where other monsters could go to?"

"Yeah, a school for monsters." Draculaura said liking the idea. "It could be called Draculaura's Academy for Guys and Ghouls! And beasties. And…others. Okay bad idea."

"How about School for the Scary, Strange and the uh…Generally Unwelcome?" Frankie suggests.

"Or what about Monster High?" Drake suggests.

"Monster High! So simple yet so perfect." Frankie said before letting out a sigh. "If only we could. But it's impossible."

"Not impossible. Just challenging." Draculaura said quoting her father.

"But with the three of us working together I think we can do it." Drake smiles.

The three friends nod as they look up at the sky unaware that their idea was going to become bigger than they ever dreamed of.
