Chapter 8: Meeting the Enemy
Hey everyone I'm back. Sorry about the wait I was really into my other stories not to mention the new KH3 game finally came out. Now this one was a challenge to figure out, but I like how this one came out. Hope you like it. Please Review and Enjoy.
It was a few days since Drake took the ghouls to the costume party and they were back to bringing monsters back to Monster High.
They found Toralei, a sneaky cat who likes to mess around with others and today they had found Twyla, the daughter of the Boogeyman.
As they sat down for Science class Drake and Draculaura moved to the same desk and stopped.
"Oh uh sorry about that. You can have it." They both said at the same time turning bright red as both of them remembered the kiss they shared.
"Uh you can sit here." Drake said as he took the next seat.
"T-Thanks." Draculaura said sitting down as Dracula walks in.
"Alright class, let's begin our lesson, shall we?" He said taking out the textbook.
As class went on Draculaura and Drake would occasionally steal glances at each other before turning back so the other didn't notice, however this didn't go unnoticed by the other ghouls.
"Did something happen between Drake and Draculaura?" Cleo asks.
"I don't know but they sure are acting weird around each other." Clawdeen said.
"Should we talk to them?" Lagoona asks.
"I already tried, but they kept changing the subject until in the end I just decided it was best to let them tell us." Frankie sighs.
Little did they know a black blob like creature with green lines around it was looking at them from the window before running for its life back to the forest.
At an unknown location Ben, Julie and Kai were sitting down while Rook was pacing back and forth.
"Ugh what's taking so long?" Ben groans.
"Give Ship a chance Ben the location of the Omnitrix is somewhere in those mountains but we don't know where." Julie said looking at the screen waiting for Ship to place the location beacon when suddenly a flashing red light appeared on the map. "Told ya."
"The little thing pulled it off." Kai smiles standing up.
"Wow that place is really hidden. What do you think it could be? A secret base?" Ben asks when Rook walks over.
"I don't know but tonight we stop Vilgax's plans before they even begin." Rook said determined.
'Drake…how did you even get that thing?' Ben thought.
That night at Monster High all the students and staff were sound asleep a small ship was making landing on the outskirts of Monster High.
As Rook, Ben, Kai and Julie snuck towards the building Ship came out of his hiding spot and ran towards Julie.
Ship. Ship Ship." It said as Julie picked him up.
"Great job Ship, time for the hard part." Julie said putting Ship in her backpack.
"This wasn't what I was expecting for a secret base." Kai said looking at Monster High curiously. "It kinda reminds me of a high school."
"Well whatever it is, let's just grab the target and get out of here." Rook said as he picked the lock and they entered the school.
Searching around the 4 of searched room after room to find empty classrooms, creepateria and an empty library before meeting up.
"Anything?" Ben asks.
"Nothing, aside from the creepy décor this place just seems to be a regular high school." Kai said when Julie noticed the school banner.
"Monster High? Interesting name." Julie said to herself when they heard movement down the hall.
"Quick this way." Rook said as they hid in an empty classroom as Harriet and a werepup were walking down the hall.
"Come on you, time for bed all your brothers and Clawdeen are sleeping." Harriet said picking him up when she heard a faint whisper and her ears perked growling slightly Harriet turns to the classroom they were hiding in.
"I think she knows we're here." Kai whispers.
"Then plan B." Ben reaches into his pocket and throws out a smoke bomb which explodes at Harriet's feet causing her to cough as she covered her eyes as Rook sprints out towards her, but at the last second Harriet opens her eyes and grabs Rook's arm judo flipping him to the ground surprising everyone.
"How did you do such an advanced technique?" Rook asks picking himself up.
"You don't become a mother of 10 kids without learning a thing or two." Harriet said as Rook sweeps her leg knocking Harriet to the ground. "Oh it's on."
Rook charges forward but Harriet drop kicks him causing him to hit the wall.
"What a woman." Rook said impressed as he dodges a chair being thrown at him.
Upstairs Ben, Julie and Kai were making their way down the hall when they heard a loud crashing noise down below.
"What are the odds nobody heard that?" Ben asks when they heard the doors open.
"Not very likely." Kai said they turned a corner as Drake, Draculaura, Cleo, Frankie, Clawdeen and Lagoona came out of their rooms.
"What was that?" Drake groans rubbing his eyes.
"It's probably my brothers again." Clawdeen said.
"Hey it's the girls from the party." Ben whispers.
"But why are they still in their costumes?" Julie asks when the footsteps got closer.
Getting ready Kai lunges out from corner and tackles Cleo to the ground.
"What's going on?" Frankie said when Julie throws Ship into her who traps her against the wall.
"Okay now I'm mad." Clawdeen said as she lunged at Ben tackling him to the ground.
"Bad dog! Bad dog!" Ben said as he struggled to keep her from biting him.
"Wait Ben, Julie, Kai? What are you doing here?" Drake asks when Cleo knees Kai in the gut and pushes her off.
"Hand over the Omnitrix!" Julie said.
"Omnitrix…wait they're with the robots!" Draculaura gasps.
"I suggest you come quietly." Kai said.
"Oh no you're not taking him from us!" Cleo said as she fired her bandages wrapping around Kai, she tries to escape but Lagoona rushes towards her and delivers a powerful kick to the chest knocking Kai backwards.
Frankie creates a ball of electricity in her hands and zaps ship causing it to jump off her and land next to Julie in pain.
"He's with us!" Frankie said as Drake activated the Omnitrix.
"Alright Ben you may be a friend but I'm only gonna say this once." Drake said as he slammed down on the watch turning into Snare-Oh. "Get out!"
Ben reaches to his belt and pulls out a Proto tool and fires but Draculaura turns into a bat and flies out of the way before turning back to her vampire form and dropping down towards Ben.
As Snare-Oh faced off against Julie and Ship a serious expression appeared on Ship's face as it jumps onto Julie giving her a black and green battle armor.
"Whoa, where can I get one of those things?" Snare-Oh asks.
"Sorry not for sale." Julie said throwing a punch at Snare-Oh but Snare-Oh morphs his body so the punch went right through him.
"Not gonna work." Snare-Oh said wrapping around Julie throwing her down the stairs where Rook had Harriet in a headlock.
"Now I'm only going to say this once! What does Vilgax have planned?!" Rook said.
"Who's Vilgax?" Harriet asks trying to break out of his hold.
"Wait…which master do you serve?" Rook asks confused.
"Master? In my house I'm the boss." Harriet said as Rook let go. "Now what possible excuse could you have for breaking into our school?"
"Wait you don't even know why? Oh boy." Rook said face palming when Snare-Oh flew into the wall nearby.
"Julie wait stop! They're not with Vilgax!" Rook said distracting her.
"Wait if you're not with Vilgax who are you people?" Julie asks as Snare-Oh wrapped his bandages around her.
"We're Monster High." Snare-Oh said.
"Monster High? Wait like Dracula and Frankenstein?" Julie asks.
"Yes, what did you think I was?" Harriet huffs.
"Rook…I think we might have made a big mistake." Julie said.
"I believe so." Rook said.
A half hour later Drake, Draculaura, Frankie, Lagoona, Clawdeen and Cleo were sitting down with Ben, Julie and Kai in the main room as Dracula, Harriet, Mary, Seth and the Werepups were helping fix the damages.
"I don't believe, you guys are real monsters?" Julie said surprised.
"And here I thought you guys just had on good costumes." Ben joked.
"Oh we're real alright." Clawdeen said.
"Well except for Drake he's just got that freaky watch." Lagoona said.
"The Omnitrix." Rook said.
"Wow everyone seems to know what this thing is except for us." Drake said annoyed by that.
"Now I think the bigger question is what on earth made you four think you could break into our school, attack us and try to kidnap our friend?" Cleo said.
"Start talking or I'll have Clawdeen's mom throw you across the room again." Drake said.
Rook looks across the room to see Harriet sweeping nearby. "Don't think I won't." Harriet said.
"Your mother is quite the warrior." Rook whispers to Clawdeen.
"Toughest monster I've ever met." Clawdeen smirks.
"How did you find us?" Draculaura asks.
"Simple all the aliens we see on the news saving the town all have that logo on it." Ben said pointing the hourglass logo on the Omnitrix.
"How do you know what that symbol means?" Drake asks when Ben, Kai, Julie and Rook reach into their pockets and pulls out a round hourglass logo just like the Omnitrix surprising them.
"Oh my ghoul." Frankie said.
"This is the symbol of our organization, we call ourselves the Plumbers." Kai said.
"Plumbers? You mean the guys who fix sinks?" Drake asks.
"It's an organization, we deal with the things no one else does specifically extra-terrestrial." Julie explains.
"Wow." Everyone said.
"You know we've had some run in with aliens ourselves." Cleo said.
"So what's your guys deal?" Ben asks.
"What is this facility?" Rook asks.
"This is Monster High. A school for monsters to go to so they can learn to live among humans and one day so we can come out of the shadows and have normal lives." Draculaura said.
"A High School for monsters? Wow." Kai whistles.
"Well now that you guys know about us what exactly do you plan to do and why do people want this watch so badly? Lagoona asks.
They were about to answer when their Plumber Badges went off.
"Gwen, not a good time." Ben said answering it.
"Ben, we got trouble!" Gwen said on the other line.
As she explains it to him, he turns off his badge and turns to everyone. "Rook we gotta go, the town is under attack."
Everyone gasps hearing this.
"Even if we left now, we have to get to our ship first." Julie said.
"I'll go." Drake said opening a closet and grabbing his hoverboard.
"You can't honestly expect us to let you run off and play the hero, do you?" Rook asks.
"You don't have much of a choice. Drake get going." Clawdeen said as Drake activated the hoverboard and flew off towards the town.
"You think he can handle it?" Ben asks.
"Trust me, Drake's got this." Draculaura nods.
In town dozens of VIlgax's drones were attacking the town causing the civilians to scream in horror as they ran for cover.
"Hey Robo losers!" A voice said getting their attention.
Dropping in from above Frankenstrike lands on the ground and fires a blast of electricity destroying two drones with ease. "You like picking on people huh? Well why don't you try picking on me?" Frankenstrike said.
The drones surrounded Frankenstrike charging up their attacks while Rook, Kai and Ben were driving towards him in an old RV.
"Come on you old Rustbucket move!" Ben said as Rook floored it.
Firing their lasers Frankenstrike jumps out of the way and creates a electricity from the coils on his back and destroys multiple droids.
One soars in with its claws ready but Frankenstrike delivers a powerful punch sending it flying into another destroying them both.
"Not so tough now are you?" Frankenstrike said as the robots flew in towards him when an old RV rams into some of them. "What the?"
Looking at the window it rolls down to reveal Ben.
"Need some help buddy?" Ben smiles as Rook jumps onto the roof of the RV and fires two blasts destroying two robots who tried coming at Frankenstrike from behind causing Frankenstrike to smile.
Working together with the Plumbers they made quick work of the robots until Frankenstrike turned to the last of them that had sparks coming from it as it fired a large blast of electricity.
Acting quick sparks came from his coils as Frankenstrike tries to absorb the red blast but when he does his eyes glow red for a second.
Inside his mind Frankenstrike looked around to see the area around him was red and a large version of Vilgax's head appeared in front of him.
"So.. you're the earthling life form that stole my Omnitrix. You can't run and even hide from me I'm going to hunt you down and when find you I'll get my Omnitrix back then I'll destroy you and the things you love most." Vilgax warns before Frankenstrike went back to reality.
"Ugh what was that?" Frankenstrike asks holding his head as Rook destroys the last robot.
"Are you alright?" Rook asks running over.
"I-I saw something and...he said I should be afraid." Frankenstrike said causing a confused look to appear on Rook's face.
Back at Monster High Drake was telling everyone what he saw.
"It was this large octopus thing, he told me he was going to hunt me down and come after the ones I love most." Drake said causing worry to appear on everyone's face.
Taking a deep breath Draculaura walks up to him and puts her hand on his shoulder.
"Hey. We can take care of ourselves you know. We're not gonna let anything happen to us or to you." Draculaura said causing him to smile softly.
"And you guys won't be alone. We'll help too." Ben said surprising them.
"Really? After we tried to beat you guys up?" Lagoona asks.
"What do you mean try? I almost won my fight." Harriet smirks.
"What better way to say we apologize then by helping to protect this school?" Julie smiles.
"Ship. Ship." Ship smiles.
"Wait you guys want to come to Monster High?" Frankie said surprised.
"You guys think you can handle a few more humans around the place?" Kai asks.
"As a Plumber I promise as long as we're here no harm will come to this school." Rook said.
"And here I thought you were just a tough guy." Harriet giggles causing Rook to look at her with interest when the sun started to rise and with it new friends and students have joined as well as their enemy has been revealed.
