Welcome to Seabrook again. Things are a lot better now that things have settled after last year. Wolves, Zombies and Humans all live in harmony now, able to live wherever, study wherever and do whatever. Since becoming the great Alpha, my life hasn't changed all that much. Well, if you count the fact that now all of the wolves, even the adults, listened to me without question. I'll admit, it took some getting used to, but I think I've settled in quite nicely. Seabrook is becoming the best place for beings from all walks of life to come live. However…there is one hurdle that non-humans can't seem to jump right now…College. But, we had a plan, and that plan relied on the one and only Zed Necrodopolis. If he screws this up for us, I'm going to gut him.
"You're going to study history at college?" Willa asked as we walked through the courtyard of Seabrook High where all of the students were preparing for tonight's game. "You know they're just gonna give you bogus everything right?"
"I know." I said. "But, with that PhD in my name, Dr Waverly Howlman, Great Alpha of the Wolves, will rewrite history." Willa smiled at me, gently nudging me with her arm.
"I know you can do it." My ears twitched as I heard something woosh through the sky and then thud against something. I stopped walking for a moment, looking to the sky before down at my Moonstone Necklace. I frowned as the diamond flashed red. Looking up, I saw Willa's own Moonstone fade to normal. "Our Moonstones are acting weird." Willa stated as her brother stopped beside us. "Something big is happening."
"Something big is happening." Wyatt agreed. He turned to us, showing off a Seabrook pennant. "Biggest football game in the universe.
"Just the biggest in Seabrook." Willa corrected him. I reached out and grabbed a poor Human's hand before she could paint Willa's face.
"Willa." I started softly, pushing the Human away from us. "This game is super important, you know that. If Seabrook wins this game, it's a massive step for all us Monsters."
"Seabrook needs you." Wyatt added. "Cheer wolf."
"You want a fierce Werewolf leader to rally a football team?" Willa wondered.
"Yes, yes I would." I said with a nod. "And if you do…I'll show you the Cheer Championship video."
"The one you supposedly burnt?" Willa asked me.
"The very same."
TIMESKIP
That night, in the heart of Zombietown, Humans, Zombies and Werewolves gathered around the Moonstone for a massive rally. Once all of the Moonstone Necklaces had been charged, and everyone was well enough, I thought it would be best for the Moonstone to be in an area where the Wolves go every day. The Den was so far out of the way if someone's Moonstone needed a rapid charge, it was more easily accessible here. A Forcefield was put up around the Moonstone, a facet of my new powers as the Great Alpha that I was slowly getting a hang of. I watched as Willa let out a long howl at the moon. "Let's tear these Eastside Eeels apart!" She cried. "Destroy them!" Everyone cheered along with her. Willa raked her claws over the top of the bus.
"Maybe just a bit too much school spirit." Wyatt said.
"I think it's just the right amount." Wanda commented from beside me.
"Get out Mighty Shrimp on this bus so we can defend our turf!" Willa said. "No outsiders mess with our pack. Yeah!" I applauded with the rest of the gathered Seabrook residents. "When you're from Seabrook, you are Seabrook!" Willa lifted a poster and started a Seabrook chant. There was some dinging as the tablet in Zoe's hands rang.
"Eliza." Wyatt greeted. I looked down and saw the zombie on the screen.
"Hey, Wyatt." Eliza responded. "Hey, Waverly."
"I-I can't believe you're not here for this. We all miss you."
"Who misses her the most, Wyatt?" Zoe teased. Wyatt hissed at her to be quiet and made a cutting motion with his hand.
"Wait, what'd she say?" Eliza asked, her image flickering. "I couldn't hear what she said." Before any of us could respond, Addison called for everyone's attention.
"Okay, everyone, let's give it up for our football team as they head off to victory." She shouted. "Here they come!" Behind her, Bucky burst from the banner and did a couple of flips, followed by Shrimpy. I rolled my eyes, of course.
"Thank you, thank you for coming to see me off for my big game." Bucky cheered. There was a burst of smoke, and the Football team raced through it toward the bus.
"Go, Seabrook!" Zed cheered. "Hey, Seabrook! Seabrook! Go, go, go, go!" Wynter raced up to the bus and…ran headfirst into it. She turned around with a worried look.
"Too much?" She asked.
"Never too much. You do you." The cheering started up again, everyone chanting Seabrook. Suddenly, there were crashes, and screams, and I looked up to see something descending from the sky…a UFO… The UFO caused a lightning strike to hit an eclectic pole…and it started to fall toward the bus that Willa was on.
"Willa!" I cried. My Mate looked to the pole, and then lept off the bus, into my arms, and we backed away just as the pole crashed into the bus. The bus caught flames instantly, and I held Willa a little closer.
Bucky -
Whoa, I can't deal, man
This can't be happening
Bree -
Is this real or
Or something I'm imagining?
Aceys -
Am I hallucinatin'?
Do you see what I'm seein'?
This can't be werewolves, zombies, or human beings
Wolves -
Out of the clouds
Down from the sky
Somethin' is here
But we don't know why
Could be a threat
Let's put up a fight
Waverly (Wolves) -
We gotta protect the moonstone tonight
Set up perimeters here (right now)
Move our defences there (get down)
Extraterrestrials all around
They're hovering over our town (watch out)
Everyone -
Oh, falling from the stars
A distant galaxy
Oh, we're not sure who they are
Friend or enemy
Now we really know that we're not alone
It's kinda scary though, but it's kinda cool
Film it on your phone, hide in your homes
It's an alien invasion
It's an alien invasion
It's an alien invasion
Addison -
Can't believe my eyes, is this really real life?
Zed -
Don't know if we should be standing here or running for our lives
Addison -
I can't decide, it's way too much
Zed -
Don't know what this means for us
Addison -
Don't know what instinct to trust
Zed -
They could laser us to dust
Well, either way, I'm ticked they picked today for all of this to go down
Take my hand, I'll get you somewhere safe until we figure this out
Addison -
I'll handle myself, thanks anyways, boo
We don't even know what they came here to do
This could be the start of something new
And if it's the end
Addison and Zed -
At least I'm with you
Everyone -
Oh, falling from the stars
A distant galaxy
Oh, we're not sure who they are
Friend or enemy
Now we really know that we're not alone
It's kinda scary though, but it's kinda cool
Film it on your phone, hide in your homes
It's an alien invasion
I stepped forward, away from the protection of my pack when the Aliens descended into the middle of the broken road. They all had blue hair and silver visors over their faces.
Aliens -
Started on another planet
Look where we at now
Scout ship crash-landed
Underneath the ground
What's the coordinates?
Is it north or is it south?
Utopia is close
We'll get the map and then be out
We come in peace, people, please don't be alarmed
Though we might seem evil, we don't mean you no harm
We've come a long way, travelled near, near and far
Don't be afraid of us 'cause we're not dangerous
A trio of the Aliens took off their visors, and instantly, my eyes were drawn to the only of the group wearing white. They had short hair, pushed back away from their eyes. They wore a white shirt and blue vest with matching pants. They had silver accents on their clothes, as well as some hexagonal markings next to their left eye. I blinked they were…gorgeous. I felt a hand on my arm, and I saw Willa. She was watching the Aliens as well, and her own eyes were focused on the same one that I had been watching. We turned back to the Aliens as they finished inspecting something. A Zombie and Wolf attacked them, but they were able to deflect them and send them back.
Aliens -
We come in peace
We mean no harm
We come in peace
Don't be alarmed
Bree -
We're under attack, in over our heads
Zed -
We've gotta hit back before we're all dead
Bucky -
I don't wanna get zapped, 'Zombie out' Zed
Addison -
Don't overreact, they could be our friends
Waverly -
Let's settle this, right here, right now
Zed -
Move our defences there, get down
Everyone -
Extraterrestrials all around
They've come to take over our town (watch out)
Oh, falling from the stars
A distant galaxy
Oh, we're not sure who they are
Friend or enemy
Now we really know that we're not alone (We come in peace)
It's kinda scary though, but it's kinda cool (We mean no harm)
Film it on your phone, hide in your homes (We come in peace)
It's an alien invasion
The Z-Patrol surrounded the Aliens. Zed had Zombied out, growling and snarling at the Aliens. Willa growled at them, her eyes glowing gold. The Aliens looked worried, so I stepped forward, putting a hand om Willa's arm. "Woah, ok, stand down." I said. "Willa, please."
"Zed, stop!" Addison scolded, pulling Zed back. "Enough!"
"Oops." The tall Alien muttered. "It seems our arrival may have caused a small, somewhat destructive energy surge."
"It appears these angry beings may not give us their most precious thing willingly." The one with her hair to her shoulders added.
"Then we'll have to explain our presence without telling them our mission." The white-wearing one continued. A flyer flew and landed at the feet of the Aliens. The tallest one looked down and picked it up. They shared it with their companions. And a lightbulb seemed to go off in their heads. "I'm thinking what you're thinking." The one with a bub-cut stepped forward, hands on their hips.
"Take us to your leader." They demanded.
"You're Cheerleader." The tallest one lifted the Cheer Championship flyer with a smile. Bucky went to step forward, but Lacey pulled him back. Addison then stepped forward with a smile.
"Hi." She greeted.
"We accept your invitation to the National Cheer Off." The short-haired Alien said.
"Z-Patrol, arrest then!" Dale ordered. The Z-Paterol shot forward to arrest them.
"We'll escort them." I spoke up. "Nothing's more secure than Wolves at night." Dale looked around at the Wolves, who all puffed up their chests. Dale then nodded. When the Aliens had handcuffs around their wrists, I gently took the arm of the apparent leader of the Alien people. "Hi." I greeted, leading them toward the holding facility. "This all must be pretty scary for you, huh?"
"Well, your friends are scary." The Alien admitted.
"I'm sorry about them. They're more of the 'attack first ask questions later' kind of creatures. I'm Waverly, by the way."
"My name is A-Spen." The Alien replied. "My pronouns are they/them." I blinked. "It is lovely to meet you."
"Oh, my pronouns are she/her." I smiled at A-Spen. "It's lovely to meet you as well."
