A little while later, Bela has told his minions that they have to show him their skills. "Alright, to prove that you guys are going to stay, you need to complete my extra hard and challenging... TRAINING COURSE!", Bela said.
In an area away from the hotel, Mina has set up a training course for the Bela-lings. "All set.", she said, as she placed down the last obstacle of the course.
"Perfect!", Bela congratulated. "Now,", said Bela as he flew over towards his new cronies, "We'll be doing this course in age order.", he continued, "So, who's the youngest?".
A Bela-ling with light-blue eyes, and tufts of hair came up towards Bela. "Splendid!", Bela said, "Your name, please?".
"My name is Pippé, Mr. Bela", said the young Bela-ling. "Well Pippé,", said Bela in a serious voice, "You get to go first in the training course.".
"What do we do in this training course?", Pippé asked Bela. Mina told all the Bela-lings, the five requirements they need to do to complete the course.
"The first task,", said Mina in a serious voice, "is to work on your flying skills.". Pippé was so excited, that he is ready to try out the flying course.
On a high ledge, Pippé walked over to the plank and spreads out his wings. "You ready, Pippé?", Mina asked, "Yep!", Pippé shouted with excitement.
"On the count of three,", Bela told Pippé, "you jump off that ledge, and glide through this course. You got it?". "Got it!", Pippé shouted back.
Everyone started to count to three, and on the count of three, Pippé jumped from the ledge, and glided through the course.
He glided to the left, and he glided to the right. He went through the various obstacles on the course, including trees, rocks, and makeshift cardboard props that resemble Hotel Transylvania.
He then reached a part of the course, where there is a lot a shrubs. Fortunately, he went through the shrubs, but unfortunately, he has lost control when he did, causing him to crash land on the finish line.
Everyone went over to Pippé, "Are you alright?", said one of Pippé's brothers, "Yeah, I'm fine.", Pippé said. "Well, that was a bad ending, for a possibly good flight routine.", Bela told Pippé, making him sad. "But you did manage to fly through the whole course, so you past the flight test", Bela reluctantly said.
"I think it's time for the next requirement.", Mina said happily.
"The second requirement,", Mina told Pippé, "is to climb up this rock wall.". Pippé looked at the wall, and noticed how tall it is.
"Y-Y-You want m-me to climb up there?", Pippé asked in fear. Bela soon shouted, "Don't be a coward, just think of it as flying.".
"Yeah,", Pippé told Bela, "but that wall is bigger than the ledge I jumped off of.". Pippé does seem to have a point, the wall was very high.
"Come on!", Bela screamed, "You have to climb up to the marker, and that's it! You don't have to climb the whole wall.". Pippé soon noticed the blue marker in the mid-section of the wall.
"Oh, that's makes it a little easier.", Pippé said. He grabbed onto on rock, and then another, until he reached the area where the blue marker is. "I DID IT!", Pippé shouted, and everybody cheered.
"Well done Pippé,", said Mina, "You based the climbing test.". Bela boredly clapped, as he said, "Yes, well done indeed. But the tests just got started.".
"The third requirement,", Bela told Pippé, is to use your wand to destroy these dummies. The dummies all look like Dennis, with doofy faces and Pippé looked confused for a second.
"Mr. Bela?", Pippé asked, "Who do those dummies look like?". Bela then told Pippé the purpose of the dummies, "That person in which those dummies look like, is Dennis! He is my arch-enemy, and your main goal is to destroy him!".
"Bela,", said Mina, "You know we made this course to teach the Bela-lings about their powers.". "Well Mina, this is part of the test of destroying your enemies!", Bela criticized, "I mean, look at Pippé.".
Pippé uses his wand, and destroys the dummies, one by one. As Bela got excited, Mina winces away from the debris.
Dust soon covers the entire combat arena, and Pippé was breathing heavily with anger. "How was that?", asked Pippé.
Mina was speechless, but Bela was very, very excited. "I knew you can do it!!", he said, congratulating his new minion. "Let's just go to the fourth requirement!", screamed Mina, "Calm down Mina, this was just a test.", Bela coaxed his wife.
"Are you calm now?", Bela asked Mina, "Yes, I'm calm.", she responded. "Anyway, the fourth requirement is to stay hidden from your enemies.".
Pippé totally gets this part of the course, because he is very sneaky himself. "I'm going to pass this one for sure.", he told Mina.
"Well then,", Bela interrupted, "It's time to give this part of the test, a little bit more spice.". "Bela, no!", Mina warned him, "Aww, I want a bit of a challenge.", Pippé complained.
Bela then realizes a robot into the stealth chamber. "You see, this robot right here will be Dracula, the owner of the human attracting hotel,", Bela explained to Mina. Mina did realize that the 'spice' that Bela added in the chamber, is more beneficial.
"Okay Bela,", Mina said, "I will allow it.". The robot roams around the chamber, and Pippé starts evade the robot's actions.
Eventually, Pippé made it to the end of the course. "You did it, Pippé!", Bela shouted, "Now push the button to deactivate the robot!". Pippé found the button on the control panel, and pushed it, causing the robot to turn off and collapse.
"Good job, Pippé.", Mina said, "Now it's time for the final test of the training course.".
"The final requirement is to try to solve various puzzles, to access the door.", Mina told Pippé. "I'm going to make you proud, Mina.", Pippé confidentiality told Mina.
The first puzzle involves moving a ball, to the base on the other side of the map. Pippé tilted the board, and although he hitted a few dead ends, he eventually made it to the end.
The second puzzle involves pulling various pins on a lock, which will cause the lock to unlock. Pippé pulled the pins in a random order, and unlocked the lock.
The final puzzle involves solving a memory game, by hitting blinking lights with a mallet. Pippé only managed to get six correct, but he passed anyway.
"You did it!", Bela congratulated to Pippé, while all of the other Bela-lings cheered right behind him. "I passed?", Pippé asked with tears of joy in his eyes, "Yes Pippé,", said Mina, "you passed.".
Pippé told everyone about his good grades during the tests, and everyone was amazed, while waiting for the next Bela-ling to get ready for the test.
Authors notes: This chapter marks the introduction of Pippé, the youngest member of the Bela-lings.
Also, with each biography, all of the Bela-lings will be named after various scientific names of bat species.
Pippé is the youngest Bela-ling, who is most likely as the most fore front of the group, and he wields the orange topaz magic wand. He looks just like Bela, but has light-blue eyes and tufts of hair on his head. He is a parody of Larry Koopa, and is named after the bat species, Pipistrelle.
