Chapter 16: Charmed and Hexed
Hey everyone I'm back with a new chapter. This idea came to me from my friend masters123lfm who felt the characters in this chapter deserverd a chance to be on the right side this time. I hope you like what I have planned. Please Review and Enjoy.
It had been a few days since Drake's battle with Vilgax and since he found out his grandpa was a Plumber.
Sitting at the table Drake's family was gathered around Matthew as he finally told them his story.
"You know dad, when you said you were a Plumber, I thought you meant the fixing sinks not aliens." Seth said.
"Well when you said you two had become teachers, I didn't think you meant for this kind of school." Matthew gestures.
"Touché." Mary said.
"But the biggest surprise is me and Max coming out of retirement to find out Vilgax, the biggest and baddest alien in the galaxy is after my grandson who has the most powerful weapon strapped to his wrist." Matthew said looking at Drake.
"Believe me Grandpa if I could get this thing off me I would." Drake said holding up the Omnitrix.
"Boys, our family is crazy." Mary said.
"Agreed." Drake, Seth and Matthew said at the same time.
That weekend Drake was sitting down drinking a smoothie when Ben, Julie, and Kai walked by.
"So how did your family reunion go?" Ben asks.
"Let's just say there was a lot of explaining on both sides." Drake sighs.
"I bet." Julie said.
"I mean your grandpa is one of the Plumber Legends and you and your parents work at a school for Monsters." Kai said.
"And yet somehow the surprises keep coming." Drake sighs.
"Hey don't worry it'll be okay." Julie said patting him on the shoulder.
"Yeah I mean it's not like you have to go through this alone. You got your friends and you got us." Ben said.
"Thanks guys, but I just need something to take my mind off this." Drake said.
"Well why don't you come with us? We're going into town to pick more food for the cafeteria and vending machines. Maybe a change of scenery is what you need." Kai suggests.
"You know what, I will. Mind if I tag along?" Drake asks.
"Sure." Ben said.
Driving into town with Kevin, they arrived at the store where they started loading food into the truck.
"Remind me why I'm helping again?" Kevin asks.
"You're the only one with a license." Julie said.
"And again, I repeat why me?" Kevin asks loading a box onto the truck.
"You know Kevin it wouldn't kill you to do something nice for once." Ben said.
Kevin rolls his eyes.
"How about I drop your detention time by 2 weeks?" Drake offers.
"Not good enough." Kevin said.
"I'll throw in access to the dessert cart." Drake adds.
"Deal." Kevin said as they loaded the last of the food onto the truck.
They were about to leave when they heard screaming coming from the museum down the street.
"That doesn't sound good." Kai said.
"Come on!" Drake said as they ran towards the screaming.
At the museum, a man with pale white skin and red robes was fighting his way through security, this was Hex.
"Foolish mortals, you will not interfere with my goal." Hex said as he raises his hand and blasts the security guards before making his may to an exhibit where an old spell book was being held.
He was about to reach for it when something fast came in and punched him out of the way.
Looking up he saw XLR8 glaring at him.
"You know if you wanted to see the book so badly you could have just paid for the tour." XLR8 said.
"Why would I pay for something that is rightfully mine?" Hex asks as he fires a magical blast at XLR8 who runs out of the only for a second figure to appear out of the shadows and blasts the ground causing XLR8 to fall.
"You know what they say, you should always watch your step." XLR8 turns to see a girl with long white hair, a purple dress with a pink ribbon around her waist and a black crown on her head standing behind him. This was Charmcaster.
"I don't suppose you'd be willing to listen to reason and leave the book alone?" XLR8 asks.
"Not a chance." Charmcaster said as energy similar to Gwen's formed in her hands.
Eyes widening XLR8 dashes out of the way as Charmcaster threw multiple magic blasts at him.
As Hex broke the glass containing the spell book Ship jumped at his face.
"AAGH! Get off of me!" Hex yelled as he ripped him off his face only to be met by a kick to the gut by Kai.
Ship jumps off Hex's face and lands on Julie's arm turning it into a blaster while Ben grabbed his proto tool.
"Don't move." Ben said.
Growling Hex spins his staff and fires a powerful blast knocking them to the ground.
Nearby Kevin was watching as XLR8 was literally running circles around Charmcaster hitting her multiple times.
Growling in anger Charmcaster creates a wave of magic which blasts XLR8 knocking him into the wall causing the watch to time out and turn him back into Drake surprising her.
"What kind of magic is that?" She asks as she makes her way towards him.
"What are you talking about? There's no such thing as magic." Drake groans when Charmcaster stands in front of him, but little did she know Kevin tossed a tracker chip which attaches itself to the ribbon around her waist.
"You would do well to learn that things are different than what they seem." Charmcaster said before delivering a punch to the face causing everything to go black.
After Hex and Charmcaster had escaped, they had returned to Monster High where they told them about what happened and Kevin and Toralei were laughing at the black eye on Drake's face.
"Drake got beat by a girl! Drake got beat by a girl!" Kevin mocks when Frankie zaps him causing him to shut up.
"That's enough out of you." Frankie said.
"Yes I got a beat by a girl it's not that big of a deal." Drake groans as Cleo handed him some ice.
"Was she cute?" Ben asks.
"Ben!" Kai snapped.
"More than cute, hot." Kevin grins when suddenly Toralei sunk her claws into his arm making him flinch in pain.
"Did they say for what use they needed that book for?" Clawdeen asks.
"Maybe they're like Animo who wanted to use it to get revenge on someone." Draculaura recalled.
"If they are there's no way it'll work. They took supposedly an old spell book." Drake said.
"Why do think that's not gonna work?" Frankie asks.
"There's no such thing as magic. It's just science that hasn't been explained." Drake said.
"Well magic or not she kicked your butt and they got away with that book." Gwen said.
"Still what are we going to do now? We can't let them get away with this." Lagoona said.
"For all we know that book could lead to something dangerous that could destroy us all." Julie said.
"But we have no idea where they went." Kai said.
Drake meanwhile was lost in his thoughts as he recalled Hex and Charmcaster saying the book was theirs, he wanted to think they were lying but the expressions on their faces showed they were telling the truth.
"We? What do you mean we?" Kevin asks getting their attention.
"Kevin, what do you know?" Drake asks.
"Hold it, I have some terms." Kevin said causing all of them to groan.
"Seriously? I mean seriously?" Cleo asks.
"What do you want Kevin?" Drake groans.
"First things first, no more detention duty. Second, no more art class. I am so sick of Clawdeen's mom nagging me about everything I draw." Kevin said.
"You're evil." Clawdeen glares.
"What was your first clue?" Kevin smirks.
"Alright Kevin, deal." Drake sighs.
"Here you go." Kevin said showing them a tracker.
"So when do we strike?" Ben asks.
"Wait. I have an idea." Drake said.
That night at an old white mansion hidden in the forest Drake, Ben, Kai, Draculaura, Julie and Gwen were on the outskirts of the forest looking at the mansion.
"So Drake how do we get in? Are you gonna Four Arms are way in?" Ben asks.
"Or are we gonna sneak in through the window?" Gwen asks.
"Neither. I'm gonna go in first with Draculaura and then you guys will wait in case we need backup." Drake said.
All of them looked at each other not sure what on earth he could be thinking until Draculaura stood up.
"Well what are we waiting for?" Draculaura asks.
On the top room of the mansion, Hex was putting the book from the museum on a bookshelf among thousands of other books.
"At last, we finally have it back." Hex said when Charmcaster heard a noise. Looking towards the window she saw a small bat perched in front of the glass.
"Oh just a bat." She narrows her eyes when from the shadows Drake walks out surprising her. "YOU!" Charmcaster said alerting hex as they prepared their magical attacks.
"Wait! I come in peace! I just want to talk!" Drake said waving his arms in defense.
"Let me guess you and your friends are here to arrest us for stealing?" Hex asks.
"Not gonna lie that was my first thought, but during my fight she could've taken me out when she had the chance, but she didn't. You only came for that book despite there were way more valuable items in the museum." Drake asks.
"And why should we tell you?" Charmcaster asks.
"Because maybe we can help you." Turning around they saw the bat fly in and turn into Draculaura surprising them. "Hi there, I'm Draculaura."
"A vampire, they do exist." Hex said intrigued.
"So feel like talking now?" Drake asks.
Charmcaster looks to Hex who nods seeing they could trust him.
"It all began when I was little, my Uncle and I are from another dimension. One that my father gave his life to help us escape." Charmcaster said surprising them.
"But why did you steal the book?" Drake asks.
"That was my father's spell book. When we first arrived it was lost to us until we found it was at the museum." Charmcaster said.
"Well now that you have your book back what exactly do you plan to do with it?" Drake asks.
"Nothing, now that we have the book we plan to go about our lives." Hex said.
"Wait you just plan to stay in this old mansion for the rest of your lives?" Draculaura asks.
"We're not exactly people that blend in with the normal world." Hex said.
"Well…what if you come with us?" Draculaura said getting their attention.
"Yeah we're from a place called Monster High where we teach other monsters to live among humans." Drake said walking up to Charmcaster. "Want to be a student?"
"Go to school? Sounds boring." Charmcaster said.
"It's not think about it. At Monster High you can be yourself, make new friends and have fun." Drake said when Ben, Kai, Julie and Gwen ran inside.
"Guys we got company!" Ben panics.
"What do you mean?" Drake asks when they suddenly heard Police Sirens outside.
"Come out with your hands up! We have you surrounded!"
Running to the window they saw the Police had parked in front of the old mansion.
"They must've tracked you two from the museum." Draculaura said.
"Annoying pests." Charmcaster was about to walk out to deal with them when Drake gets in front of her. "What are you doing?"
"Stopping you." Drake said causing Charmcaster to giggle. "Don't laugh, I can turn into XLR8 again or any of my other forms, but I'm not going to."
"And I should be concerned why?" Charmcaster asks.
"Your father helped you and your Uncle escape to Earth because he wanted to give you a chance, but if you step out there and attack them you'll be labeled a criminal, but you don't have to make that choice. Come with us to Monster High and you both could have a second chance at life." Drake said.
Charmcaster looks to Drake and saw he was being truthful.
"Uncle, I say we should take it." Charmcaster said.
"Yes, it would be our wisest choice." Hex nods.
"But how are we going to escape without all those humans noticing?" Charmcaster asks.
"Like this." Draculaura said taking out the Monster Mapalogue. "Everyone circle up and put your hands on this."
Acting quickly Charmcaster grabbed her father's spell book and joined them.
"Monster High Exto Monstrum!" In a bright flash of light they all disappeared just as the cops broke in to find the mansion empty.
That night at the Monster High dorms, Drake was leading Charmcaster to her room.
"So, if you need any help with anything just ask me or the ghouls and we'll help you figure things out." Drake said opening the door when he held his eye in pain.
"Thanks and I'm sorry I punched you so hard." Charmcaster said.
"Well we didn't get off to a great start." Drake shrugs causing her to giggle. "Well Charmcaster I hope you like Monster High."
"Hope."
"Huh?"
"That's my real name, Hope and thank you for giving me this chance." Charmcaster leans in and kisses his cheek before walking to bed leaving a surprise Drake standing in the hallway. 'I've got a feeling things are gonna be fun for me.' She smirks.
'Kevin was right...she is hot.' Drake thought.
