Chapter 24: Omni-Trackers
Hey everyone I'm back with a new chapter. To rileystack12 I will have them go to Rook's planet but give me a little time to work everything out. I thought before I really start bringing in characters I should do this one. Also I am happy to announce that this story now has over 200 followers! Thank you all so much for your support. I hope you like what I have planned. Please Review and Enjoy.
In the hallway, Draculaura opened her locker to see herself in a mirror but since she was a vampire you couldn't see her reflection.
"Webby." Draculaura said calling her pet who lowered down on a web. "All good?" She asks and Webby gave her a thumbs up when Clawdeen walked over.
"Draculaura I think I finally got it down." Clawdeen said as Draculaura walks over and the two of them did a secret handshake.
"Wow Clawdeen you might be the only werewolf in the world that can do a vampire handshake." Draculaura said as the bell rang.
"Come on ghoul, we're gonna be late for Monster History." Clawdeen said.
In the classroom, Kevin hooked up the cube he got from Vulkanus to a few wires and then to a laptop.
"Okay Frankie, let her rip." Kevin said as Frankie typed furiously and the cube started to glow as a map of the town appeared on the screen and Frankie saw many red dots indicating monsters all at Monster High.
"Is that the whole school?" Frankie asks as she zoomed out to see a map of the town. "Voltagous this is gonna be so much easier."
"Yes it is." Kevin smirks when Drake walked in.
"Hey guys." Drake said getting their attention.
"Drake you gotta check this out." Frankie said as Drake walked over. "Look at all the Monsters that Kevin's tech found."
"Oh man." Drake said amazed.
"Am I awesome or what?" Kevin asks.
"Not gonna deny it, great job Kevin." Drake admits.
"And that's just on Frankie's laptop, wait until I hook this baby up to something bigger." Kevin said picking up the cube when Draculaura and Clawdeen walked in.
"Draculaura, Clawdeen over here." Frankie said gesturing to them.
Smiling the two of them walk over and Clawdeen noticed the cube in Kevin's hands.
"What do you have their Kevin?" Clawdeen asks.
"Something awesome." Kevin said as Dracula flew in and changed back to normal.
"Hello class, I trust you all did your reading assignment on prominent Vampire Families throughout history?" Dracula asks.
"Uh Mr. Dracula I couldn't do the reading because I accidentally took Deuce's history book by mistake." Raythe said.
"Oh uh yeah and I took Raythe's book." Deuce said as they swapped books.
"I just didn't do it." Kevin shrugs not bothering to come up with an excuse causing Dracula to sigh.
"Those of you who did do the reading should be up to speed on the royal VanBat Family." Dracula said as a painting of a family of vampires appeared.
"I can't imagine what it must be like to be part of such a powerful family." Lagoona said.
"Speaking as a royal heiress I can tell you it's pretty great. People do whatever you want, give you presents, I highly recommend it." Cleo said.
"Sadly, I don't think many of us can experience that kind of life Cleo." Drake smirks.
"Uh Dad I mean Mr. Dracula. Vampires live for over thousands of years wouldn't that mean members of the VanBat family could still be around?" Draculaura asks.
"Excellent question but the VanBat family all but vanished when humans arrived in Transylvania." Dracula said.
"What about these rumors of the secret VanBat Princess?" Clawdeen asks looking in her book.
"I believe they were just that, rumors. If there was a VanBat Princess somewhere I'm sure we would know about it." Dracula said.
"We could use the Mapalogue to find her." Draculaura said.
"Actually no you can't because you would need a first name to use it and no one knows the VanBat Princesses' name." Dracula said.
Draculaura frowns wishing there was a way to figure out if the rumors weren't just rumors.
That night, Draculaura was in her room with Daimen and Webby sleeping in a little hammock together as she flipped through her book.
"I've got it." Draculaura said taking out the mapalogue. "VanBat lost Princess Exto—"
"Where do you think you're teleporting to at this time of night?" Dracula asks stopping her.
"The Creepateria for uh a smoothie. Teleporting is so much faster than walking." Draculaura said nervously.
"Nice try, Drake's the one who likes smoothies." Dracula said.
"Alright fine, I was going to go look for the VanBat Princess." Draculaura admits.
"And how do you plan to do that? It won't work without a name." Dracula said.
"Not true. I found out if you know a few things about the monster like that she's a vampire and a princess the mapalogue will teleport me someplace close to the princess." Draculaura explains.
"Someplace close?" Dracula asks.
"Closeish." Draculaura cringed.
"So in other words you have no idea where you'll be going." Dracula assumes.
"Yeah no clue." Draculaura sighs in defeat.
"Draculaura you are my daughter and the fright of my life but I cannot have you go to mysterious locations all on your own." Dracula said before walking away.
"Then I won't go by myself." Draculaura said getting an idea.
The next day in the library, Kevin was putting down multiple boxes filled with tech while Dracula watched.
"I'm telling you we don't need all this stuff." Dracula said.
"Look Drac books may have been great when you were young but it's the 21st century. Time to get on board." Kevin said taking out a computer screen.
"Face it Kevin, he's too old school to try something new." Hope said getting their attention.
"How old do you think I am?" Dracula asks.
"Oh I don't know how to use a phone so I have to write letters bleh bleh bleh." Hope said mimicking Dracula causing Kevin to laugh.
"I don't say bleh bleh bleh." Dracula said annoyed.
"Sounds like something you would say." Kevin smirks.
Dracula groans when he turns around to see Draculaura, Drake, Cleo, Frankie, Clawdeen and Lagoona causing him to jump back startled.
"What is this? Why are you smiling?" Dracula asks.
"You said I couldn't look for the VanBat princess alone. Well as you can see I'm not alone anymore." Draculaura gestures. "Do the smiles again."
"Draculaura." Dracula glares.
"Dad this is a team of most talented people I know. Frankie's got the brains, Lagoona amazingly athletic, Clawdeen's fierce and determined, Drake's quick and adaptable and —"
"And I'm all those things and me." Cleo finishes.
"She forgot humble too." Kevin smirks.
"Dad do you remember what life was like before we invented Monster High? All day I spent cooped up in my room with no one else. This princess is probably just like me. She deserves to know that there is a place that she can belong." Draculaura said.
"Ooh she's good." Cleo said.
"We may have practiced this a few times." Drake smirks.
"Do you all promise to look out for each other?" Dracula asks.
"Yes." They all said.
"Do you all promise to wear helmets, lifejackets, and sunscreen when appropriate?" Dracula asks.
"Yes." All of them said with less enthusiasm.
"Okay you can go." Dracula said.
"Yes!" All of them cheer when Hex shushes them. "Yes." All of them said quietly.
"But first, we do research." Dracula said.
"Huh?" All of them said losing their excitement.
"Hey I just said you can go be a little excited about the research." Dracula said.
"Yaay research." All of them mumble.
"Boy I should come to the library more often, lots of funny stuff to watch." Kevin said as Dracula grabbed some binders.
"This has everything you need to know about the VanBat family. Since the family resided in Transylvania for centuries so that's probably where you will go, but be warned you could be anywhere any questions?" Dracula asks.
"Does rescuing lost monsters count as extra credit?" Cleo asks.
"If it does, I would like to join as well." Hope said.
"Me too, I'll do anything if it means getting out of Art class." Kevin agrees but Dracula ignores them.
"Uh I'll leave you in charge of this." Dracula said handing the mapalouge to Draculaura.
Holding out all of them reached out and touched it.
"VanBat lost princess, Exto Monstrum." Draculaura said as the 6 of them teleported away.
In Transylvania, they appeared in the air and landed on their legs but wobbled before falling down.
"At least we no longer hit out heads on the ground." Drake groans.
"That is an improvement." Lagoona agrees.
"It worked, there must be a VanBat Princess in there." Draculaura said as Drake knocked on the door.
"Hello Princess VanBat?" Clawdeen calls out.
"Maybe no one lives here anymore." Drake said.
"No, this castle definitely belonged to the VanBats. Look." Frankie said pointing to the door where a strange logo was.
"Uh what are we looking at?" Clawdeen asks.
"On the door, that's the VanBat family crest or part of it. It was in Mr. Dracula's binder, didn't any of you read them?" Frankie asks.
"I skimmed it." Cleo said as Frankie traced the other half of the logo on the door making it open.
"Oh thanks dad." Draculaura said wishing she had read more.
Opening the watch, Drake fiddles with it. "If it's a vampire I bet Whampire will be a great help in finding her." Drake said slamming down on it but ends up turning into Heatblast. "Ugh stupid watch."
"Okay we better make sure Heatblast doesn't touch anything." Lagoona cringed.
"How about a light?" Frankie said as Heatblast made a flame in his hand and walked forward lighting the way for them.
"Look at this place. It's like going back in time to a different century." Lagoona said.
"I don't know Draculaura, it looks like no one has lived here for years." Clawdeen said.
"But the VanBats must've lived here at some point. Maybe we can find a clue about where they've gone." Draculaura said.
As they looked around Cleo walked over to a couch and sat down on it before noticing a handbag.
"Hey ghouls take a look at this." Cleo said getting their attention.
"That bag looks great Cleo but is now really the time to be accessorizing?" Clawdeen asks.
"This bag is from last season. I know I have five." Cleo said.
"That means someone does live here." Heatblast said when a trapdoor opens under Cleo and she falls through.
"Cleo!" All of them gasp.
"We have to find out where this thing goes." Frankie said when the door opens to reveal Cleo.
"It goes outside. It's a slide that sent me back outside of the castle. Keep your eyes out for more trapDOORS!" Cleo screams falling through another and walking back to the front. "Okay this is getting old."
"Lookout!" Heatblast said as he jumped over a trapdoor.
"They're everywhere! Quick to the front!" Lagoona said as Heatblast shot flames at the ground launching him into the air and landing by the front door.
As Clawdeen and Draculara ran to the front they both changed into their wolf and bat forms to avoid all the traps.
Lagoona uses her speed and runs past the trapdoors while Frankie struggled to keep up.
"Someone clearly does not want us to be here." Frankie said.
"That makes no sense, I'm welcome everywhere I go." Cleo said when Heatblast noticed a painting.
"Hey ghouls check this out." Heatblast said as they saw it was a painting of a vampire girl with purple skin.
"Wonder if that's the ghoul we're looking for." Lagoona said.
As Clawdeen looks around she noticed a bat hanging upside down nearby. "Draculaura let's do that vampire handshake."
"Right now?" Draculaura asks.
"Trust me." Clawdeen nods.
From above the bat watches as they did the handshake and immediately flies down before turning into the ghoul from the painting. This was Fangelica.
"Only Vampires know how to do that. How did you learn it?" She asks.
"Because my ghoul friend is a vampire." Clawdeen smiles.
"Wait you're friends with a werewolf? How is that possible?" Fangelica asks.
"Well that's how things are at Monster High." Draculaura said.
"Monster High?" Fangelica asks.
"Imagine a place where monsters of many kinds are together under one roof." Frankie said.
"Everyone is welcome at Monster High." Lagoona said as Heatblast's logo started to beep.
"Whether you're a monster." Heatblast said before turning back into Drake. "Or a human."
Fangelica gasps in fear before hiding behind Draculaura in fear.
"Hey it's okay, he won't hurt you." Draculaura said.
"But he's a human." Fangelica said.
"Yes he is, we have a few humans at Monster High too." Frankie said.
"Things are different now, we're all learning to live together." Lagoona said.
"I've been on my own for so long." Fangelica said nervously.
"We know, I've been where you've been before you don't have to be alone anymore." Draculaura said.
"What do you say? Want to come to our school?" Drake asks.
"This Monster High sounds amazing." She smiles.
"What's your name?" Drake asks.
"My name is Fangelica."
"Well Fangelica welcome to Monster High." Draculaura smiles taking out the mapalouge.
Back at Monster High, Fangelica was opening her locker when she tried to look at herself in the mirror. "Hey Webby?" She calls out and the spider gives her the thumbs up before she walked to class.
"Looks like the new ghoul is fitting in great." Frankie said.
"She's been happy all week." Drake said.
"I can't thank you all enough for all your help." Draculaura said.
"It's what we do." Clawdeen said.
"I just wish we could do this more often." Lagoona said.
"Well that's the thing, after helping Fangelica I realized what if there are other lost monsters out there that could use our help." Draculaura said.
"Why limit ourselves to just monsters?" Drake said getting their attention. "Look around, this school has humans, monsters and aliens what if we tried helping all of them who are lost?" Drake suggests.
"Ooh I love it. A special team created to bringing all three together. We'll need a name and a theme song and cool action poses." Cleo said.
"Anyone have a good name?" Clawdeen asks.
"I was gonna say Ghoul Squad, but Drake's not a ghoul." Draculaura said.
"No he is not." Frankie said causing them all to laugh.
Pausing to think Drake looks at the Omnitrix and gets an idea. "How about the Omni-Trackers?"
"Omni-Trackers?" Frankie asks.
"This whole thing started when I found the Omnitrix and using it we've helped track down all kinds of people and bring them to this school." Drake explains.
"Omni-Trackers…I like it." Draculaura said.
"Now all we need is a theme song." Cleo smiles.
"Cleo." All of them said.
"I'm serious, think about it." Cleo said.
