Chapter 18: Halloween Hunt
Hey everyone, I'm back with a new chapter and as an early Halloween gift to you all it's a Halloween special. I hope you guys like what I have planned I'd also like to thank my friend masters123lfm for giving me the idea to do this. Please Review and Enjoy.
At Monster High, the bell rang signaling it was time for Humanology class.
"Hey has anyone seen Drake? I didn't see him at breakfast?" Frankie asks.
"He said he needed to help his parents prepare for today's class." Lagoona said.
"Really what for? Is today special?" Cleo asks.
"I don't think so, it's just October 31st." Draculaura said when they opened the door to see Drake and his parents had decorated the room in orange and black with Halloween decorations everywhere.
"Whoa, what is all this?" Clawdeen asks interested when Drake walked over and handed them each a piece of candy.
"Here you go girls." Drake said.
"Ooh candy in class. I'm liking this day already." Cleo said as all the monsters came in to see the decorations.
"Happy Halloween everyone." Mr and Mrs. Rogers said walking in with a carved jack-o-lantern.
"Uh excuse me, but what's Halloween?" Draculaura asks.
"That's what every October 31st is. It's a holiday for us humans." Seth said.
"Does any of it explain why you carved a face into a pumpkin?" Clawdeen asks.
"That's part of the fun. You see on Halloween humans dress up like monsters and we decorate our houses to make them look scary while we pass out candy to each other." Drake explains getting all their attention.
"So wait, humans dress up like us? For fun?" Raythe asks.
"And you give out free candy as long as you look like one?" Deuce asks.
"Gob!" Gob said saying it was the best holiday ever.
"Yes, yes it's all true but like with Ari Hauntington they wouldn't know the difference because they'll just think you're people in costumes." Mary said causing Draculaura to gasp at an idea.
After class, Draculaura was talking with Drake and the ghouls.
"All I'm saying is if this is the one day a year Monsters could come out of the dark and hang out with normies we should take this opportunity while we have it." Draculaura suggests.
"So what can we do?" Cleo asks.
"Well I may have found out Ari is doing a Halloween concert in town." Draculaura said causing Drake to chuckle.
"You want to go don't you?" Drake asks.
"More than anything." Draculaura smiles as everyone else giggles.
"While that does sound fun how are we going to get so many monsters into town?" Frankie asks.
"Simple we ask Ben if he can drive Rook's RV." Drake said.
"Oh my ghoul this is gonna be so much fun." Clawdeen smiles.
"You know Drake you should dress up too." Lagoona said.
"Why not? It's Halloween." Drake smiles.
As the sun was setting Drake was walking out to the front of the school in his leather monster hunter costume when he felt a presence nearby.
"Hey Twyla." Drake said as Twyla came out of the shadows and appeared next to him.
"Wow you're getting better at knowing when I'm around." Twyla said impressed. "That's a cool outfit, what's the occasion?"
"Ben's driving us to Ari's concert in town, you want to come?" Drake asks.
"Mmm I don't know hanging out in crowds isn't really my thing maybe some other time." Twyla said.
"Alright, happy Halloween. I'll bring you back some candy." Drake said.
"Thank you." Twyla said as Drake walked out to see Ben pull up in the RV with Draculaura, Frankie, Clawdeen, Lagoona, Cleo, Kai and Julie were waiting up front.
"Alright everyone aboard the Halloween express." Ben smiles as they open the door.
"So how did you convince Rook to let you borrow his RV?" Kai asks.
"Easy." Ben smirks.
In the school cafeteria, Max and Matthew were cooking up some sort of strange meal and Rook was taking notes on the recipe.
"So many cups of Dung beetles do you add?" Rook asks.
"Two cups." Matthew said as Max poured bowls and placed them down for the werepups.
"The little guys just can't stop eating this stuff." Max chuckles.
Back on the RV the humans were feeling green.
"Why do I have a feeling that's gonna be on the Creepateria menu?" Julie shudders.
"We better load up on candy then." Kai said.
As they made their way into town none of them noticed a few Forever Knights on the rooftops and saw the RV pulling up at a stoplight.
Looking through a pair of binouculars one sees Drake sitting down and see the Omnitrix on his wrist.
"Sir we've found the human who freed the Dragon." The knight said through a phone.
On the other line Connor tightens his fist. "Where is he heading?"
"To Tash's concert."
"Good, see to it you don't let him out of your sight." Connor said as grabs a laser lance and his helmet before leaving to get revenge.
At the concert, Ari was backstage in her room getting ready when she heard a knock at the door.
"Come in." Ari said as the door opened to reveal a security guard.
"Tash you have some visitors, they say they're from your school." He said causing her to smile.
"Let them in." Ari said as she turns around to see the ghouls, Drake, Ben, Kai and Julie walk in.
"Hey there superstar." Kai smiles.
"I figured you ghouls would show up, Halloween is the best day for Monsters to come out of hiding." Ari smiles.
"It's the best, people have been coming up to me and saying how much they love my outfit. I could really get used to this." Cleo said.
"Anyway we wanted to ask if you wanted to hang out with us after your concert." Drake asks.
"I'd love to, but I should tell you after tonight I'm putting my tour on hold for a while." Ari admits.
"What? Why? Your fans would be crushed." Draculaura asks.
"Because after tonight I start Monster High." Ari smiles causing all of them to smile.
"Really? You mean it?" Draculaura asks excited.
"I wanted you all to be the first to know." Ari said.
"Well we're happy to have you." Frankie said.
"Tash you're on in 15 minutes."
"Well I guess I'll see you all after the show." Tash said grabbing her guitar. "See you soon."
"Eeeee I'm at a live concert." Draculaura squeals.
"Easy Draculuara the show hasn't even started yet." Lagoona said as they walked out past the bouncer who nods fine with them until a person in Forever Knight armor tries to walk past him.
"Hey you can't be back here without a pass." He said but the Knight punches him in the face knocking him into the wall.
"I have eyes on the target, I will capture when the time is right." He said into a speaker.
Up on stage the crowd was cheering as Ari made her way on stage.
"Happy Halloween everyone!" Ari called out as the crowd cheered.
Standing backstage the ghouls and plumbers were excited.
"I can't believe we got free backstage passes." Julie said.
"Guess when you go to school with the star it has its perks." Ben chuckles.
"Now let's kick this Halloween off with some fun." Ari said as the music started.

When the song ended everyone burst into cheers.
"Happy Halloween everyone!" Ari said as walked off stage. "What did you guys think?"
"What did we think? That was voltageous!" Frankie said.
"Ari you were amazing." Clawdeen said when the Forever Knight walks up from behind them.
"Oh hey there, nice costume." Ari said when the knight pulls out a laser lance causing Drake, Ben, Julie, and Kai to gasp.
"That's not a costume!" Ben yells as he fires at them.
"Hand over the human with the watch and the rest of you will be sparred." He orders as they took cover.
"I'm guessing he means you." Ari said looking at Drake.
"Sadly yes." Drake nods.
"Ben we gotta get Drake outta here." Kai said.
"Take him to you know where." Julie said.
"What about you guys?" Ben asks.
"We can handle him." Kai said taking out her proto tool firing a blast she knocks the knight back giving them an opening. "Get going!"
Acting quickly Ben grabs Drake and Ari.
"Hey wait what are you doing?! I still have a concert!" Ari said as they ran out but before they could the knight threw a tracker which latches onto Drake's jacket.
"I guess we're ending it early. Ben where are we going?" Drake asks as they ran to the RV.
"Somewhere no humans outside the Plumbers knows about." Ben said driving past a car that had Connor in it.
Taking out a small device he saw the tracker on Drake was leading them to the outskirts of town.
Arriving at their destination they stop in a large construction site where a giant sewer hole was sticking out of the wall.
"Uh where exactly are we?" Ari asks as they climb out.
"Hold on." Ben smirks as he led them inside and when they came out the other end Drake and Ari looked in shock to see an entire town filled with stands, shops and houses filled with so many different kinds of aliens. "Welcome to Undertown."
Both Drake and Ari dropped their mouths in shock at this amazing place.
"Those Forever Knights will never find us here." Ben said leading them to a store.
Upon entering an old man with glasses was cleaning up when he sees Ben walk in.
"Hey Mr. Baumann." Ben said.
"Oh no. Ben Tennyson I have made this perfectly clear, you are banned from my store." Mr. Baumann said.
"I know, I know but my friends here are in trouble. They need to hide out for a while." Ben said gesturing to Ben and Ari.
"Oh my." Mr. Baumann walks up to Ari amazed by her appearance. "I've never seen an alien like you before."
"Uh I'm not an alien, I'm a monster." Ari said.
"Monsters, wow." Mr. Baumann said when he notices the tracker on Drake. "Uh oh. I think we might be too late." He said pulling it off Drake causing them all to gasp. "Ben take this and run as far away from here as you can, maybe it'll lead them away."
"Good call." Ben said as he ran out of the store with the tracker.
"You really think that'll work?" Drake asks.
"Not really, but I just wanted him out of my store." Mr. Baumann smirks causing them to chuckle. "Come over here I'll get you something to eat."
"Thank you, Mr. Baumann." Ari smiles as they sat down at the restaurant area.
"So what Ben do to make you ban him for life?" Drake asks as Mr. Baumann hands them glasses of water.
"I couldn't take it anymore. That kid makes a mess out of everything and I just couldn't take having to pay to get everything fixed. My store, my car, my house." Mr. Baumann growls.
"Ok ok we get it calm down." Drake said quickly.
"Sorry." Mr. Baumann said calming down.
"So what is this place?" Ari asks.
"Well some aliens come to earth to settle down so the Plumbers created Undertown so the aliens could live in a safe place and not have to worry about the humans finding them." Mr. Baumann said.
"Sounds amazing. I wish I knew about this place." Ari said.
"I bet the other monsters would love to come here too." Drake said getting her attention. "Think about it, all the monsters at the school have always been in hiding imagine how happy they would be to have a place to go to outside the school to hangout and have fun."
"Sounds good to me." Ari said.
"Too bad you two won't survive to warn them." Turning around they saw Connor standing in front of the door with a laser lance in his hand.
"Connor." Drake gasps.
"Friend of yours?" Mr. Baumann asks.
"Hardly. But since I'm a knight of honor I will you give you one chance to hand over the dragon you stole from us." Connor said.
"You're laying a finger on Jinafire. You knights think you're protectors when really you're just bullies." Drake said.
"Then I will make you tell me the Dragon's whereabouts." Connor said aiming it at Drake and firing.
"Drake!" Flying in Ari grabs him making him intangible causing the blast to go right through him.
Turning around Drake sees Ari's smiling face showing she got his back.
"Please, please don't destroy my store." Mr. Baumann begs.
"Don't Mr. Baumann, we were just about to take this outside." Drake said as Ari grabbed Drake and they flew towards Connor and at the last second Ari lets go allowing Drake to literally kick Connor out of the store.
"Let's see how you fight without your backup." Drake said slamming down on the watch turning into Diamondhead.
"So that's how you escaped us." Connor glares as he drew a sword.
"Pretty cool huh?" Diamondhead said turning his arm into a blade.
"Maybe when I cut off your arm, I can obtain that power for the Forever Knights." Connor said taking a stance.
"Ari get back, I don't want you to get caught up in this." Diamondhead said as Ari ran inside the store but watched through the door.
Sprinting towards each other Connor and Diamondhead clash blades causing sparks to fly as they kept up their attacks.
Locking blades the two of them glare until Diamondhead pulls back his other arm and delivers a left hook knocking Connor to the ground.
Looking up Connor sweeps his legs knocking Diamondhead to the ground before pulling out his laser lance and firing it at him knocking him backwards causing Ari to gasp.
Connor makes his way towards Diamondhead when out of nowhere a mug flew in and hit him in the face.
"Get away from him!" Turning around they saw Ari throwing multiple items from Mr. Baumann's shop at Conner.
Raising his shield he blocks all the attacks before firing a blast at the item causing them to explode and knock Ari to the ground.
Eyes widening Diamondhead looks up to see Connor making his way towards Ari who was trying to crawl away.
"I wonder what happens when you try to destroy the already dead?" Connor asks as he cocked his laser lance much to Ari's horror.
Aiming at her he fires a large blast but at the last second Diamondhead gets in front of Ari absorbing the blast with his hands.
"Drake?" Ari said surprised.
"You like picking on monsters? Well try dealing with me!" Diamondhead yells as he reflects the blast sending it smashing into Connor sending him smashing into the wall.
Looking up Connor saw Diamondhead raise his arm blade as if to finish him off, but at the last second Diamondhead stops as his blade was inches from Connor's face.
"Never come back." Diamondhead threatens as he punches Connor in the face knocking him unconscious.
When he regained consciousness Connor found himself tied to a statue with his tracker broken so he couldn't find Undertown again.
Back at Mr. Baumann's store, Ari handed him a credit card for all the stuff she broke.
"Sorry again about everything." Ari said.
"At least you kids are willing to take responsibility for the stuff you broke." Mr. Baumann said looking to Drake who was sweeping up. "You know you're pretty lucky to have a boyfriend like that."
"Boyfriend?" Ari blushes surprised.
"Well yeah aren't you two a thing?" Mr. Baumann asks.
"N-Not really?" Ari said nervously.
"Could've fooled me. I think you two look cute together." Mr. Baumann said giving her back her card.
As Ari and Drake leave Undertown they saw Draculaura, Frankie, Clawdeen, Lagoona and Cleo running to them.
"Are you two okay? We got here as soon as we could." Frankie asks.
"We're fine Drake took care of that Forever Knight all by himself." Ari said.
"So what is this place?" Draculaura asks.
"We'll tell you about it later, but what do you say we all go get some candy?" Drake asks.
"Sounds like a blast, but where are we going to get candy?" Lagoona asks.
A few minutes later…
A door opens to reveal all of them.
"Trick or treat." They all said holding out candy bags.
"Oh my what amazing costumes." A woman said handing each of them a candy before closing the door.
"Okay this is clawsome." Clawdeen said looking in her bag before letting out a howl.
"Best day ever!" Frankie cheers.
"Come on, let's get the next house." Lagoona said as they ran down the street.
"We should do this every year!" Draculaura said.
Looking to Drake, Ari smiled softly as she reached out and held his hand surprising him.
"Quite the Halloween don't you think?" Ari asks as he nods. "Maybe we can hang out again sometime, but without anyone trying to kill us."
"We can try but I have seem to have a habit to trouble following me." Drake said causing her to giggle as they walked down the street to enjoy the rest of Halloween.
