Deuce Pov:

"While the ghouls and Junior spoke with Draculaura trying to convince her to come back to Monster High. I had to talk with Mira about why she decided to leave with her in the first place it was a surprise for her to do something like this, though what she told me was the first time I'd ever seen her serious before. The reason for her feeling unwell and being out of focus on almost everything was that she was slowly learning about herself. Rather her mother since both our mothers and the school had little information about Mothra since she was busy tending to the sick and ill, not having time to share her stories with anyone. It's understandable since she could have been just as powerful as Gojira and sparked a debate on who would be better to lead the Kaiju. Still, that's the last thing that should be brought up since it seems that tonight at Fright Ball the ones that'll be nominated for King and Queen will be Toralei and Ghidorah due to the influences they've had across the school. I guess my main concern is keeping my automaton sister close by and not getting anyone to think that Mira is missing, hope the others can do the same for the automaton Draculaura."


Next Morning-Monster High

Having avoided the gargoyles that watched over the school when returning to the school, the gang was able to retreat to their dorms and have a long sleep from the journey they had. While it seemed the trip was all for nothing, they at least knew that Draculaura was doing a noble cause to help monsters and witches find common ground with one another. Each of them had different thoughts running through their minds such as Frankie, who had to speak out against their friends on not turning on one another and how they were alone before they met each other when they arrived at Monster High. Clawdeen, who still felt concerned for Draculaura in being at a witch's coven by herself while also thinking about what her automaton self said about taking her and Junior to the Fright Ball. Junior was the one thinking about how he's powers were growing further due to how he almost burnt the floor when they came back into the dorm room.

"Good morning Monster High! Tonight is Fright Ball and classes will end early for all of your creeps and ghouls to get your suits and dresses for tonight. Along with knowing who you believe should fit the role of king and queen, the choice is up to you to see who will get the crowns!"

The announcement spoke out excitedly as the first to respond was Junior whose eyes opened up and looked at the speaker across the room. The reptile wanted to rip it off due to how loud it was, but he ignored it since he had to avoid any kind of aggressive situation since he hadn't asked anyone out yet despite Fright Ball being today. Clawdeen and Frankie woke up from the announcement and noticed how the reptile didn't seem pleasant after returning home.

"So. Will you be going to the ball tonight?"

Frankie was the first to ask since they were curious about how Junior would approach the situation due to Toralei and Ghidorah taking the situation into their hands and doing whatever they wished once they got crowned. It took a moment for him to think about what Frankie asked and had no way to possibly answer their question.

"I don't know. I might because automaton Draculaura doesn't have anyone, unless you want to go with her Clawdeen."

He responded about what his predicament could be and turned it to the wolf girl which left her to blush since it wasn't easy for her to respond. While it would be nice to go with her to her first ball, it wouldn't be the same since it was a copy of her vampiric friend. Yet still concerned about how she felt about how the automaton wanted to bring him along to the ball.

"Sure. I mean to keep up with the appearance of her still being here. Though I want to make sure you and Frankie have something planned for tonight."

Commenting on that with what's been happening about witchcraft being allowed at the school and the tension amongst the group, it seemed that the two didn't have anyone to take to the ball. After hearing that and taking in that he needed to be with someone who could help him with his issue, he looked over to Frankie as Junior was nervous about asking them a question.

"Then, would you want to go with the ball with me?"

He asked Frankie in consideration of how they knew what was going on within as well as a chance they could take his power without becoming his queen. Frankie, felt speechless at his offer since they didn't know whether it was because no one asked them out or if he needed help with what was happening. Both Junior and Clawdeen noticed Frankie's check brightening up in a pink shade to the point where the lightbulb by their bed was short-circuited and fried in an instant.

"I think I'll go get a new light bulb from the school store. And then possibly find a good outfit to wear for the dance."

Frankie answers his offer and holds in their best to not get embarrassed for losing control of their electricity. Running out of the dorm quickly, Clawdeen chuckles at how she saw him asking them out but could tell there was a motive behind it. Junior noticed how she looked at him with her yellow eyes as well as sniffed out what he might be trying to do and decided to respond to her stare.

"Alright, since there have been enough secrets amongst the group. I should be the one to say mine, just in case I don't survive the night."

Stating to her his condition since he has been using his powers scarcely to the point where he was burning anything in his path from the floor to that of his bed, hearing that left Clawdeen concerned about what he meant and gave him her full attention since it sounded serious.

"Recently I learned that I've been getting powerful, which has become dangerous to the point that it can harm the people I've become fond of and myself. This has led to a rather unusual solution that my dad left when he gave me that guitar case, which is to find someone to be with me and share that power with that person."

He explained in a short manner which caught Clawdeen off guard and didn't know how to respond to his predicament as she saw Junior pulling out the note that was left for him. Handing it over to her to look at it with her own eyes, the note left the wolf girl shaken by how it was life changing move for Junior to be in a relationship to continue living and being king of the realm. What surprised her further was now Frankie's father was now involved in the courtship and helped Gojira in the process of managing his condition, which left her to figure out why he asked Frankie out to the ball.

"Frankie knows about this, don't they?"

She questioned the reptile about how if things turned out well and having found that connection, Junior would have to make Frankie his queen as well equal to looking after the realm. Struggling to find a proper way to answer Clawdeen's question about having her friend dating him giving Frankie half of his powers. The look on her face showed tell he wasn't thrilled about putting Frankie in this predicament, yet she could tell there was more to this issue.

"You're hiding something else, aren't you? it's not that you're worrying for Frankie's safety, there's more to it."

Calling out on how despite him finding someone that might like him and could help with what's happening within himself. Clawdeen could see his emotions clearly than anyone, left Junior to have an issue in answering her due to how it was impossible to explain it. Just before he decided to tell her, they heard Draculaura's coffin opening up showing the automaton version coming out with a smile on her face.

"Morning friends! It was lonely without you here, but I'm glad your back for the ball tonight. I can't wait to spend time with you when we attend the dance."

Draculaura called out with optimistic attitude which felt odd for them since they were used to a Draculaura that was relaxed and levelheaded. While it did help with everyone believing that she and Mira was here, it wasn't the same without the real ones here. Taking the chance, Junior decided to move fast and get out of the room quick before Clawdeen made him tell her about what else he was keeping hidden.

"Exactly, so while that's happening. I'm going meet up with Frankie to see what exactly will be happening tonight."

Junior responding to Draculaura with her being with Clawdeen as the wolf girl saw him getting his clothes on and running out to catch up with his soon to be 'date' for tonight. Growling at the ruin moment that she had with him, another idea came up in her head in a way for her to get his answer from him. Which is by the automaton Draculaura as she had seemed to retain most of their friend's personality, so the copy might have the same identical ones.

"Hey Draculaura, do you want to talk about something interesting and special?"

Asking in the politest manner to the automaton which made the vampire smile in excitement as she walked over to Clawdeen's side and seats by her. Curious about what question's she had waiting to be heard, the wolf had to be sure that the question she had to tell her wouldn't offend her since she wasn't the real Draculaura.

"Alright, so I want to get this out of the way that. We know you're helping our Draculaura out, which is really cool since you're basically her but smiling since she normally doesn't that much. Not that it's a bad thing! But there's something that I'd like to know just in case if anything happens tonight."

Clawdeen started off with how she was alright with the automaton being here in Draculaura's place and how different she was from her. While in return compliment that it was nice seeing a version of her being positive and open, she needed to know about what she spoke when the gang saw her emerge from the coffin. Taking a moment to study the wolf's facial expression and how she was coming to speaking out her question, the automaton was able to figure out what Clawdeen was getting to and decided to help her with an answer.

"You're curious about how the real one felt about Junior asking her out and me saying I'd want to go with you and Junior at the same time."

The automaton ghoul beating her to the question which left the werewolf to get nervous on how she was able to figure it out that quickly. Having blushed at the response and her figuring it out, Clawdeen breathed in deep for the copy vampire to give her an explanation about the answer. Seeing how this could be her chance to learn why Draculaura might have rejected Junior's request but hide how she would want to go with him and herself to Fright Ball.

"While I am a copy of Draculaura, I still have the same thoughts and emotions as she does. In which she does care for you and Junior, to the point of how surprising it was for you to accept her using witchcraft. While for Junior giving her encouragement to be assertive to her father, which was humorous when he told her. Despite how distant the real version is and focused, she values both you. While in return, Junior secretly values me as much as you."

She stated to Clawdeen in a sincere way as well placed her hand upon hers as the automaton wanted to show how the real version would express herself to her. The wolf girl was stunned at this and slowly held the automaton's hand seeing how it felt special, especially how in a way she learned what Junior was hiding from her. With having earned the answer to her question, the two heard the door opening up which showed Frankie and Junior returning with several items for the room as well what seemed to be their clothes for the ball tonight.

"We got our clothes for the dance tonight, which is a surprise since the school itself managed to study the student's idea in style and accessories and made them for each one. I already have the one I've dreamt of wearing in an occasion like this."

Frankie spoke out excitedly about their own clothes for the ball as they went to the bathroom to try out their new clothes. Junior had his along the other ghoul's clothes as he walked over to hand them to the two in a silent manner seeing how he didn't know if Clawdeen would ask him about he was hiding from her. Just before he was going to examine his clothes for the night, he noticed a hand holding his which was Clawdeen's as it left him surprised by her hand holding his hand.

"Thanks for almost opening up to me, even if you needed a push or two."

She said with a smile as Junior looked over to the automaton vampire and smiled back to him which left the reptile to look embarrassed about what she might have told Clawdeen. Lowering his head about his feelings for her since it seemed obvious at this point, he growls softly before turning away to check out his suit for tonight. Smirking at how she'd figure him out along seeing how there was much emotion around the room, she knew it be an interesting moment amongst them when they attend the ball.


Later-Ghidorah's Room

For the past few hours since he saw Junior and the others leave to travel into the human world. The three headed dragon was secretly informing his father about the current progress of what's been happening, especially how he had the school influenced to be against witchcraft as well showing his strength against Junior. Right now the brothers were looking at their suit who were checking out their suit for the dance tonight, while the heads were confident for what has been accomplished. Kevin was feeling conflicted about the turn of events that have happened and the response they'd earn from their father for 'winning' the fight.

"Is what we're doing the right thing?"

Kevin asked his brothers on things had been going which included trying to usurp the new king and showing both Kaiju and monsters how powerful they were. While they did pose as a force to be reckoned with by their peers, it had begun to affect Kevin due to him representing the emotional side that the other heads neglected.

"Don't go thinking about this school Kevin, we're doing this for our family. For the right to rule and to show them that our father was the one to be king in the first place!"

The right head claimed in a dominant tone since it was their time to be respected by the rest of the Kaiju's and that they were worshipped as royalty. While the middle head remained silent and about to explain to Kevin why their actions were justified, Kevin growled at his brother for speaking to him that way since they shared the same body.

"Ever since our childhood we've lived under his teaching's that we had to be the ones in charge. He has taught us only to be cunning, ruthless as well do whatever it takes to become king. And for what? We all know what will happen when the plan goes underway!"

He responded back to his brothers about the plan that would be happening when the night had come out. The right head snarled at his brother for speaking that way and rethinking about what their father was doing for them. With how the two brothers were prepared to fight each other, the middle head stopped the two as he was able to grab both of their necks in order for them to not try anything reckless.

"Now brother. Despite him taking a name and not being like us, we've always looked after each other through our father's training. This is not the time to bite our own necks."

Talking down to him on not bullying Kevin since he was there to experience the pain and difficulty Keizer Dorah put them in when growing up. While he held his brother's neck, he shared the same pain that he was putting them in due to their connection. Looking over to Kevin where it was his turn to have his lecture, he could see in his eyes that there was more he wanted to say since it was his first time to speak out against them.

"If there's anything else you wish to say Kevin, I suggest you make your words worthwhile."

Instructed him on whatever he says has to important for them to listen to him. Letting go of his neck to let him as well himself and the other brother breath, Kevin nodded his head thanking him for letting him has his say. It was difficult for Kevin to be the one in command since his brothers had a presence to make anyone listen to them, but now it was time he had his say. Taking a moment to look around the room, he guided them to the closet where he opened the door to show a portrait of Keizer Dorah in his former glory of being feared by the kaiju in the realm.

"When I was a boy, he was like a god I worshiped. Father. I could hear your voice, echo in the halls like thunder. Father!"

He started to sing softly before getting aggressive as the tone coming from Kevin was surprising to Ghidorah and the right head. They remembered how when they hatched from their eggs and meeting him, it was the same day that the three singular dragons became one being like their father.

"On a mission to prove we was worthy of approval from you, father. We've been brave, feared, and fearless, ruthless and relentless, just like you."

Bringing up a memory how much training they did when they were born and the endurance they were put through. While Keizer's heads shared one personality, the three begun to develop their own personalities and emotions. Just as they observed Kevin looking up at the portrait, they saw how he controlled the right hand and placing it at Keizer's face

"So, am I just like you?"

Kevin asked the portrait and possibly his brothers as they witnessed their right hand shaking violently. It led to Kevin slashing the portrait down which ripped apart Keizer's face, it shocked them on this surprising attack. To the point where they felt Kevin taking control of the body and walking around the room to let out his own anger.

"No! What kind of king is in our blood? I don't know. What kind of dragon have I've become?!"

He questioned the two and the possibility of them being king if they would be able to handle it, especially how everyone had known them for being a serious and intimidating creature. Continuing to let out his anger in the room, Kevin was able to let out electricity that begun to brighten the room in array of different colors.

"I am stuck with this darkness that runs through my veins! Am I a prisoner or can I change? What, what I've become. When it's in my blood!"

Asking again before stomping his foot to explode all the bulbs in the room. The room had become dark with only his red eyes being visible in the darkness, to which Kevin stepped out of the room where he saw no one watching the performance. Ghidorah wanted to try and stop him but was unable to due to the control Kevin had over the body.

"My blood, when it's in my blood. My blood, when it's in my blood!"

He shouted as Kevin guided them down the hallway so he could continue to let out his pent out aggression. Not noticing from the side was Toralei, who happened to notice him walking in an aggressive attitude. Deciding to follow him in secret, she saw him entering one of the bathrooms where no one could follow him. While it was unlike her to pay attention to anyone's emotions, she was curious to see what was wrong with him. Taking a second to see the janitor's room, she rushed in to see a ventilation vent which allowed her to slip in and travel into the boy's bathroom. Taking a chance to see threw the open vents, she saw Ghidorah's heads battling one another for control.

"Never been anything but his loyal sons. Been a good soldier, followed your orders never questioning you once. You're all we've wanted to be but now it's all unraveling, there's blood on my hands. Don't know if I am a monster or the son of a would be king!"

The right head reminding them of being an obedient son to him and how they had Junior's blood on their hands during the fight. He tried to remember it but began to feel the confusion and anger Kevin was having, it led to him thinking if it wouldn't be enough to impress Keizer. The two heads continued to let out their anger which left Ghidorah to stop them as he slams his tail to the ground which silenced them. Walking over to the mirror to look at himself, Ghidorah noticed how he almost looked Keizer being filled with anger and rage. It begun to scare him to the point where he almost couldn't recognize himself.

"Just like you? No!"

Ghidorah shouted as he smashes the mirror with his fist and letting out his own aggression. Toralei who was left in utter silence saw the three headed Kaiju breakdown and beginning to break the mirrors within the bathroom.

"What kind of king is in our blood? I don't know! What kind of dragon have we've become?!"

The three heads asking in unison as they were all sharing the same ideal of what more they could do for Keizer Dorah. Especially how things would go on for the rest of the night, he continued to move against the bathroom making sure they couldn't see their reflection due to what they had become.

"I am stuck with this darkness that runs through my veins! Am I a prisoner or can I change? What, what I've become. When it's in my blood!"

Calling out as they soon began to absorb the electricity within the room into himself. Toralei, who continued to keep silent watched at how he began to glow with power. Ghidorah wanted to let it out in order to get rid of the pain he was feeling, though none of them wanted anyone from the outside to hear it.

"My blood, when it's in my blood. My blood, when it's in my blood!"

They finished the song and returned the electricity back into the bulbs so that they didn't burn out. Ghidorah and his brothers were out of breath as they soon placed their back against the wall, Ghidorah slides to the floor slowly and felt conflicted with the events that were slowly coming. They didn't react to the sound of an air vent and Toralei coming out as she landed on her feet. Staring at the would be king who should be thrilled on a chance of being the Fright Ball king, she heard from the singing there's more things going on for him.

"Care to tell me what's wrong. Or are you going start acting moody?"

She asked Ghidorah and added a remark to see if she could get the right head to growl at him. Though was meant with silence as it seemed he wanted to tell her what was happening as he brushed away the glass with his tail to make space for her. Taking cautious steps to Ghidorah and sitting on the floor by his side, Toralei was given the full story of what was going on and why he sang about his father in a negative tone.
