It was late noon. Junior found himself carrying a bag over his shoulders, as he made his way over to the back of a van. He grunted as he tossed the bag inside, along with a few other bags. He grimaced as he found several bags of the same color, stacked up. He sighed in dismay before slamming the back doors closed. Junior turned to find the Main 7, the Dazzlings, Mutant 4, Erika, and Flash to be standing around, all conversing amongst themselves.

"Hey, Rarity. Tell me why exactly you need all of that crap in the back?" asked Junior in annoyance. Rarity gasped in offense.

"Excuse me! That 'crap', as you said, are my essentials for the trip! My clothes, a change clothes, my pajamas, a change of pajamas, a couple of dressy casual dresses, formal dresses, my makeup, my hair drier, my hair iron, my hair curlers, and my dental supplies!" said Rarity indignantly.

"Over half of that wouldn't classify as 'essential'," said Junior flatly.

"He's right, Rarity. The trip is only for the weekend," said Rainbow.

"You can never be too prepared, darling. Also it's a three day weekend," huffed Rarity.

"Hey, at least she's not a doomsday prepper," said Sunset.

"At least doomsday preppers have useful things. That stuff in there is just to look pretty!" said Junior.

"Gojira Takeshi II, I refuse to part with anything!" shouted Rarity with a glare. Junior sighed in exasperation.

"Oh God, and I'm stuck with you the whole trip," said Junior in dismay.

"Goji, be nice," said Fluttershy in disapproval.

"I'm not being mean. There's barely enough seats in this van as it is. Two of us have to sit in the back with all of our stuff," said Junior.

"You packed a pillow and blanket right? Maybe you guys can lay on those to help," said Angirasu. Junior sighed. He then turned to the van with an annoyed look.

"And whose piece of shit van is this? Who's the degenerate hippie?" asked Junior, pointing to the van. It comprised of a faded lime green coat of paint, decorated with flowers. On the side of the van were the words, "The Secrecy Machine". The vehicle appeared old, being a 1972 Ford E200 Econoline Van. It bore some rust and chipped and fading paint.

"The fuck kind of name is that?! Who names their van?!" asked Junior.

"Hey! That's my uncle's van!" said Flash, indignantly. The mutant pointed a finger at him.

"Your uncle is a-!" Junior stopped as he took in Flash's appearance. "What the fuck are you wearing?"

Flash was sporting a white shirt, with a blue collar shirt underneath. He also wore a yellow scarf around his neck.

"I thought I'd try wearing something new. Pretty cool, huh?" asked Flash with a grin.

"Sure, if you're from Bay City." Junior smirked.

"Hey!" said Flash in offense. Aria snickered.

"Goji!" Fluttershy gasped.

"That's not cool, Gojira," said Sonata in disapproval.

"What? Tell me that outfit doesn't make him look like a fruit! At least get rid of the scarf," said Junior.

"It's called an ascot, you uncultured swine!" Flash retorted.

"Oh yeah? How about I kick YOUR 'ascot'?" Junior growled.

"Bring it, big man!" said Flash.

"OK, enough! Get a grip, you two!" said Sunset, getting between the boys.

"I must say, Flash. I admire your attire! The ascot is certainly a nice touch!" said Rarity in approval. Flash smiled smugly.

"Don't encourage him," said Junior. He then noticed Twilight to be shuffling over, carrying a big bag over her shoulders.

"Here, let me take that for you, shortcake," said Junior as he held out a hand.

"Thanks. But I keep telling you, I'm not that short," said Twilight in dismay.

"You are to me," said Junior as he tossed the bag into the back. Then, he raised a brow as he found Twilight wearing a thick frumpy lavender sweater.

"What? It's gonna be cold," said Twilight with a shrug.

"It's not that. It's just..." Junior looked to Flash and Rarity. Rarity had her hair down, wearing a sky blue hairband. She also sported a white one piece long sleeved dress with a blue stripe running along the bottom. A light blue scarf was also wrapped around her neck. She also wore heels and violet tights.

Then Junior looked back to Twilight, sporting a platted skirt with her sweater, knee high socks, and her thick pair of glasses. He then found Rodan walking over, carrying a large box full of snacks as he sported a shirt that seemed to hang down to  the waist, as though it was too big. Then, Junior looked to the van. There was something very familiar about this.

"Gojira?" called Twilight.

"Nah. It must be my imagination," said Junior.

"Gojira, I got a lazy shirt for you! It'll be comfortable for the trip! It has a cute dog on it!" said Fluttershy, holding up a large grey t-shirt, depicting a cute cartoony dog.

"Agh! I should've thought of doing that!" said Mosura to herself. Junior furrowed his brows.

"You don't like it?" asked Fluttershy frowning.

"Huh? No! No, it's fine. Thanks. I'll be sure to wear it," said Junior weakly smiled.

"OK! We have everything packed, we have snacks and food for the trip, we have our phones charged, we all went to the bathroom... I say we're ready to hit the road!" said Sunset.

"Yeah! Road trip!" cried Pinkie.

"Alright! Pile in guys!" said Flash as he ran to the 'Secrecy Machine'. The teens all split up and climbed into three vehicles. Flash took the driver seat of the Secrecy Machine, while Rarity and Twilight took a seat at the front next to him. Meanwhile, Junior and Rodan hopped in the back. The engine roared to life but briefly sputtered.

"Ooh. That doesn't sound good," said Twilight.

"Don't worry. This baby can hold her own," said Flash in reassurance. The van began to roar as it drove off, with the rest of vehicles in pursuit. Junior sighed as he sat his pillow down and began fold his blanket and lied it beneath himself.

"Guess now's a good time to catch up on some Z's," said Junior, lying down.

"Good luck with that," snorted Rodan. Sure enough, Junior began to drift to sleep.

"Man, that guy can sleep through anything," said Rodan in shock.







Junior found himself standing outside of the van with Flash, Rarity, Twilight and Rodan. They all stared wide eyed at the large creepy mansion that stood on a hill, just beyond the road. The cries of bats filled the air as they soared during this cold moon lit night.

The sound of music suddenly filled the air.

"Goji, Goji-Gojira, Where are Yah~? We some got some work to do now~. Goji, Goji-Gojira, Where are Yah~? We need some help from you now~." a feminine disembodied voice suddenly began to sing.

The teens found themselves roaming through the dark mansion warily, unaware by the music that played out of thin air. From the shadows, a ghostly figure appeared, glaring from a distance at the trespassing teens. Meanwhile, Rarity walked about, absent minded, unaware of the cold dead hands of a phantom reaching out for her. It swiped for her but missed by a hair and the girl was none the wiser. Elsewhere, Flash was sitting at a dusty desk, looking through a book. The wall behind him suddenly rose up, revealing a hidden passage. Flash yelped as he leaned back and fell into the dark passage. Junior suddenly found himself standing with his arms crossed, while the teens ran for their lives back and forth through the halls of this haunted mansion.

"Come on Gojira, we see you. Pretending you fling your finger~. You're not fooling me, for I can see the way you hold your anger~."

Junior sighed in annoyance, shaking his head. He then noticed Rodan crying out as he came rolling down the hall with a pair of skates, clearly unable to control his movements. He crashed into the bathroom, where he sat in a tub, where cold shower water rained over him. Junior laughed in amusement.

"We know we got a big bad to catch and we need you to act~. Don't hold back~!" the singer sang. Rarity and Twilight gave startled and alarmed gasps, while Flash turned his head, eyes widening.

The teens were suddenly cowering behind Junior, who stood tall as a red and aquatic dinosaur-like beast stared down at them from a lake. Its eyes glaring at them as it bared its teeth from its spinosaurus-like jaws. The group began to flee, coming across many different threats. From Purists, aliens, and even other strange monsters and spooks.

"Goji boo, if you come through, you might get yourself a snack~!"

Junior suddenly found himself about to take a bite of a sandwich, but stopped as he found a miniature version of Adagio Dazzle to be lying on top of it, a sultry smile on her.

"That's a fact~!" Adagio sang as she playfully 'booped' Junior's nose, prompting a blush.

"Goji, Goji-Gojira, here are yah~! You're brave and you're willin'~!" Adagio's voice lingered in the air, while Rodan cried out in fright, as his hair stood on end. Junior glared and shushed him. The teens found themselves crowding over Twilight as she read a book. They suddenly shot their heads up, their sights directed to the fourth wall.

"We can count you, Gojira~. I know you'll beat that villain~!"

Junior gasped as his eyes shot wide open. He found himself staring up at the ceiling of a van. He blinked briefly.

"The fuck was that dream?" asked Junior.

"Oh! You're awake!" said Twilight from the front seat. Junior sighed as he sat up, wincing.

"Yeah," said Junior.

"Dude, how do you do it? I could barely sleep back here. You slept for like five hours!" said Rodan.

"Damn. So we're not there yet?" asked Junior, looking to the back windows of the van, finding a dark road, where car head lights shined in pursuit.

"Just another hour, guys. You're gonna love it," said Twilight.

"Hmph. I guess it pays to be a rich girl if you can have a cabin miles from civilization," said Junior, leaning back. There was a sudden bang, which startled the teens out of their wits.

"Uh oh!" exclaimed Flash.

"What, 'oh'?!" asked Junior in alarm.

"Hold on! Ol' girl is giving us trouble!" said Flash as he pulled over to the side of the road. The other two cars following them stopped as well. The teens stepped out of the vehicles, as Flash inspected the engine. As he opened the hood, a plume of smoke suddenly spewed out, prompting the teen to recoil.

"I told you this thing was a piece of shit," deadpanned Junior.

"Man, this bites," said Flash in frustration.

"Don't worry! There's a town not too far from here. Maybe we can get it fixed up," said Twilight.

"Alright. Let's get to pushing. Twi, hop in the front and steer!" said Flash.

"Yes sir!" said Twilight with a salute, before rushing to front seat. Rarity followed. Junior, Rodan and Flash began to make their way to the back of the van.

"OK, what can we do to help?" asked Mosura.

"You guys go on ahead! We'll catch up to you. Remember, follow the directions in the texts I sent you!" said Twilight.

"Alright. Good luck guys. Call us if you need anything," said Sunset, worriedly. The rest of the teens began to board the two remaining cars and drove off.

"What we need is a tow truck," said Junior as he and the other two boys began to push. They strained as they moved the vehicle down the road. The pushing lasted for several minutes, and it felt like they were making little distance.

"Can't you boys go any faster?" asked Rarity, peering through the window. Junior scoffed.

"You could help too, you know! Only one person needs to be up there!" said Junior.

"And ruin my outfit with sweat? Or break a nail?! I think not!" said Rarity.

"Whatever, Princess," said Junior. Rarity gave an indignant huff before bringing her head back into van.

"She does look good in that outfit though," said Rodan with a pant.

"Shut up," said Junior.

"You know... I thought it'd be easier," said Flash, grunting.

"Yeah?" asked Junior.

"Yeah! Because you two are mutants. Aren't you two pretty strong?" asked Flash.

"Yeah, but this thing must weigh a ton!" said Rodan.

"Yep. Unless the parking brake is... Wait a goddamn minute." Junior's face formed a scowl. He then raised his head.

"Twilight, is the fucking parking brake pulled?!" Junior shouted. There a moment of brief silence.

"Yeah..." Twilight awkwardly called back.

"Twilight..." Junior growled.

"Oh come on! I didn't know!" said Twilight.

"Just move the damn thing!" said Junior. The van suddenly felt lighter to the teens as they pushed.

"Now we're getting somewhere!" said Junior, as he mustered more of his strength, pushing the wagon like a mere grocery cart.

"Hey, I can't keep up!" said Flash.

"Cram that whining and push, wuss! Double time!" said Junior.

"Let's go!" shouted Rodan, as he mustered his own strength. The van continued to roll down the road, while Flash struggled to keep up.







The Secrecy Machine was rolled into a small town. It existed on several strips of streets, with small buildings making up the town. Some houses lied further out, but were ultimately walking distance from the main town. The teens stopped briefly, looking around the quiet and dark town.

"This place gives me the creeps," said Rodan. Junior hummed as he looked to the side, finding an animal pound to be nearby. A large man stepped out from a truck, carrying a cage. Junior began to make his way over.

"Excuse me, sir!" called Junior. The animal control man stopped and turned his attention to the boy.

"Hey, our van broke down. Is there like an auto shop or something around to help us get it fixed up?" asked Junior. The man looked over Junior's shoulder and grimaced.

"That piece of shit is yours?" asked the man.

"Hell no. That thing belongs to this prick's degenerate uncle," said Junior, pointing his thumb back at Flash, who leaned against the van.

"Hm. Well, just head on down to that corner. You'll find Phil. He usually works late," said the man.

"Thanks," said Junior as he made his way back to the van. The boys pushed the van again, making their way further down the street. The van was soon taken to "Phil's Auto shop". They met with Phil, who began to inspect their vehicle. Later, Twilight, Rarity and Rodan found themselves sitting inside of a diner. Soon, Junior and Flash wandered inside of the diner, taking their seat at the booth.

"Well, we better get comfortable. Phil says that the van won't be ready to go until tomorrow," said Junior.

"We could've been at the cabin by now," said Twilight in dismay.

"We might have to rest at the Inn here. You think we have enough money?" asked Flash.

"You got me. My broke ass is lucky enough to afford a meal," said Junior.

"We can try asking someone to come back and give us a ride the rest of the way," said Rodan.

"I'll have to stick around here anyway for the van," said Flash.

"It's real, I tell ya!" a voice shouted, startling the teens. They peered over their booth, finding an older man, who appeared ragged. He stood at the other booths, where the local townspeople looked at him oddly.

"It was a horrible beast! It had fangs like knives! Hellish red eyes! And claws that could cut through concrete!" cried the old man.

"George, I'll have to ask ya to stop scaring my customers!" said a middle aged woman in uniform.

"I ain't scaring anyone! I'm warning ya'll about the demon that's out there in the woods!" cried the man.

"Demon?" asked Twilight. The old man craned his neck to the direction of the teens, who recoiled under his gaze.

"It ain't no natural creature. It stood like a man, but behaved like a beast! It was a savage monster that only destroyed! And it'll kill us all if we don't leave the town!" yelled the old man, before running out of the diner, screaming.

"Yeesh. He has a few screws loose," said Flash.

"Maybe not," said Twilight in thought. She looked to her friends, a look of dread on her face.

"What if it's another genetic experiment by Discord?" suggested Twilight.

"Or a rogue Transmutant," said Rarity.

"Well, it ain't our problem," said Rodan, sipping his soda.

"Rodan!" said Rarity in shock.

"No, I'm with him. We shouldn't get involved if we don't know what's going on. The last thing we want is to get roped into another bullshit adventure," said Junior.

"Guys, come on! We should at least investigate! Think of the lives that may be at stake," said Twilight, pleadingly. Rodan frowned.

"Ah I can't say no to a pretty face," said Rodan.

"Yeah, it's terrible," said Junior with a deadpanned look. He then sighed.

"But I guess it wouldn't hurt to keep an eye out," said Junior. Twilight and Rarity grinned.

"Well gang, it looks like we have a mystery on our hands!" said Flash. Junior slowly looked his way.

"What?" Asked Flash in confusion. Junior opened his mouth to speak, but was unable to get the words out.

"Never mind," said Junior.







The air was cold. The distant cry of a wolf filled the night air, as the moon hung high and bright in the starry sky. The teens had spent several minutes looking around.

"Old man George said that he saw the creature somewhere around here," said Flash, as the teens stood in a darker part of the town. All of the establishments were closed, and not a single light was seen from the windows. Rarity gasped as she pointed to the ground.

"Look! Footprints!" cried Rarity.

Everyone turned their attention to the dirt ground. As said, they spotted footprints. There was a pair of prints that trailed down an alley. Twilight knelt down and held her phone over the tracks, casting a light over them.

"Odd. They appear human, but they're larger than the average male's. They're even padded like an animal's!" said Twilight, analyzing the prints. There appeared to be also claws imprinting at the end of the toes.

"Oh boy! Maybe we should go! Call Sunset or someone so they can pick us up!" said Rodan, scrambling away from the prints.

"What happened to you not being able to say 'no' to a pretty face?" asked Flash.

"That was before I knew that this was for real! Let's boogie! Scram! Make like trees and leave!" cried Rodan.

"Ro, calm down! You're starting to stress me out!" said Junior in annoyance.

"Well, it would appear that we have a genuine monster on our hands," said Rarity, placing her hands on her hips.

"Alright. We should split up and look for more clues. Gojira and Rodan, you two go that way. Rarity, Twilight and I will go this way," said Flash, pointing to another direction. Junior glared at him.

"OK first of all, why are you calling the shots like you run this operation?" asked Junior.

"Yeah! And why do we have to split up?" asked Rodan.

"To cover more ground," said Flash, as if the answer was obvious.

"While there's some kind of creature running around in the middle of bum-fuck nowhere?" asked Junior, incredulous.

"What are you two worried about? You guys are tough, aren't ya?" asked Flash with a scoff.

"I'm worried about you guys! Wouldn't it be better if the groups comprised of at least one Transmutant?

"That's a good point, actually," said Twilight. Flash sighed in annoyance.

"Fine. Rodan, Twilight and I will go this way. You and Rarity go that way," said Flash. Rarity grunted.

"Fuck, I didn't think this through!" said Junior, his eyes widening.

"Too late! No take backs!" said Flash with a smirk. He then brought an arm around Rodan and Twilight. The petite girl bore a goofy smile as she blushed, while Rodan's eyes darted all around.

"Good luck!" said Flash as he began to lead Rodan and Twilight away.

"Flash, you dirty, bland as rice, pretty boy, son of a bitch!" Junior shouted angrily.

"Get along you two!" said Twilight, waving to Rarity and Junior.

There was an awkward silence. Junior and Rarity glanced at each other, both holding displeased looks. Rarity cleared her throat as she forced a smile.

"So... Shall we be going, partner?" asked Rarity.

"Just don't whine the whole time," said Junior, turning to walk. Rarity scoffed.

"When have I been whining?" asked Rarity.

"Let me think," said Junior with a hum. Rarity growled in frustration.

"You are incorrigible!" said Rarity. There was a sudden howl, which caused Rarity to squeal in fright. She ran to Junior and cling to his arm, causing the boy to stumble.

"Watch it!" Junior barked.

"Did you hear that?" whimpered Rarity.

"Yes, it was a wolf. And it was at least a mile away. Let go," said Junior.

"Do you mind?" asked Rarity, her lips pursed and her eyes big, giving her the appearance of a begging pup. Junior sighed in dismay.

"Alright," said Junior. As the teens walked from the area, a shadowy figure lurked in the darkness. The sound of growls filled the air.







Flash, Rodan and Twilight were wandering around near the outskirts of town. They searched high and low for any more clues. So far, they had little luck.

"Guys, I don't think we're gonna find anything. Let's head back," said Rodan.

"Don't be such a wet blanket, Rodan. Come on, isn't this exciting?" asked Flash.

"There's nothing exciting about looking for danger!" said Rodan, glaring at the boy. Twilight sighed with a day dreaming look.

"Flash, you're pretty brave," said Twilight.

"Ah not really. I'm mainly stoked because this is my first actual adventure with you guys!" said Flash, grinning.

"Oh yeah, we never really have you tag along on our hijinks in the main story line. Hell, we rarely do it for the non-canon stuff," said Rodan.

"Why is that?" asked Flash.

"I don't know. I guess the author just doesn't care that much for you," said Rodan with a shrug. Flash frowned in disappointment.

"Oh..."

"Uh guys, can we get back to the plot?" called Twilight.

"Right! Right, this is Pinkie's thing anyway. Ahem. I'm scared!" Rodan suddenly cried.

Out of sight from the group, Pinkie emerges from the bushes, glaring angrily at Rodan.

"You will be" Pinkie said ominously. "You will be"
Pinkie descends back into the bushes.

"Hey look! More tracks!" said Twilight, kneeling to the ground.

"Good eye, Twi," said Flash in approval.

"I do have these," giggled Twilight, bringing her glasses up and down her face.

"Agh. Get a room," said Rodan, rolling his eyes.

"What's that black stuff?" asked Flash in confusion, pointing to the ground. The teens turned their attention to around the tracks. There were some black splotches in the dirt, appearing to have yet sink and become mud with the earth. Rodan hummed as he stuck a finger into the muck and brought it to his nose. He took a couple of sniffs.

"Smells like oil," said Rodan.

"Interesting. That may be a clue," said Twilight, as she snapped pictures of the tracks.







Junior stared off to the dark woods that lied ahead. His amber eyes seemed to glow under the moon light, as his mutant sight made his vision clear. He scanned the area, but was interrupted as he heard Rarity approaching with a moan.

"Darling, can we take a break? My feet are killing me," said Rarity, bending down to rub her heels.

"And whose bright idea was it to wear heels during an investigation that could take all night? Didn't you pack shoes suitable for hiking?" asked Junior.

"You can't expect me to wear such a thing with this outfit!" said Rarity.

"And that's why your feet are hurting, Rarity!" said Junior.

"Well excuse me for trying to dress feminine!" said Rarity.

"Oh for-! That doesn't mean that you can't dress smart!" said Junior in exasperation. Rarity trembled as she glared at the boy. Her face turned red.

"Careful, Belle. You're ugly when you're angry," said Junior, smirking. Rarity trembled more.

"Oooh!" Rarity huffed before walking off a few feet away. She crossed her arms and had her back facing Junior. The boy shook his head.

"Good grief," said Junior as he turned his sights back deeper into the woods. His gaze was interrupted again as he heard sniffling. Junior turned with a confused look. He saw Rarity shaking, as the sniffling grew more apparent. Small weeps escaped her.

"Are... Are you crying?" asked Junior, making his way to the girl. Rarity sniffled, turning away as the boy came close. She made sure to keep her face out his sight.

"Ah come on. You're taking it way too personal," said Junior as he attempted to meet the girl's gaze. But, Rarity still avoided contact. She walked away a few feet, attempting to hold in her sobs. Junior sighed.

"Rarity..." Junior called, following the girl.

"Why are you so cruel to me? Do you hate me that much?" muttered Rarity.

"Cruel to you?" asked Junior in confusion.

"All day you've been mean to me. You've belittled me, you've yelled at me, insulted me..." said Rarity.

"I've yelled at and insulted everyone today," said Junior, shrugging.

"And you said that I was... Ugly!" Rarity began to sob into her hands. Junior grimaced, feeling some guilt well up.

"It's true! I'm such an ugly hag! A big eyed, false eye lash wearing, make up caked hag!" Rarity sobbed.

"I... didn't say all that," said Junior, scratching his head. He shook his head. Now wasn't the time to crack smart ass remarks.

"Listen, Rarity. I'm sorry, that was mean. I shouldn't have said that. I should've been more sensitive," said Junior as he stood behind the girl. She still kept her back to him, her tears still flowing.

"And, maybe I've been a little too hard on you. But it wasn't out of hate. I sometimes do it because... Well, I want you to grow, as messed up as it sounds. Its tough love," said Junior. Rarity sniffled.

"But, not everyone responds the same. You're not ugly, Rarity. You're.. Well, you're one of the most beautiful girls I know," said Junior, awkwardly. His cheeks growing red. Rarity sniffled, glancing back with hot puffy eyes.

"Do you mean it?" asked Rarity. Junior greeted her with a sincere smile.

"Honest," said Junior.

"I suppose that I should have been less difficult during this trip." Rarity wiped her cheek, as her make began to run.

"Oh. Uh, here," said Junior as held out his sleeve, allowing the girl to wipe her face. Some of her makeup was wiped away from eyes.

"There you go. See? Even without that much make up, you're still gorgeous," said Junior. Rarity sniffled.

"Are we still friends?" asked Rarity. Junior smiled.

"Of course, 'partner'," said Junior. Rarity smiled. She wrapped her arms around the boy, leaning her head against his chest. Junior began to stroke her hair, affectionately. He was about to stop himself, thinking that Rarity wouldn't appreciate the contact with her hair. But, she didn't seem to mind, keeping her face buried against his chest.

"Hey, you see that?" Junior's sight suddenly fell upon a distant structure. Rarity released him and followed his line of sight.

"Yes, I do," said Rarity.

"Come on, let's go check it out," said Junior as he made his way to the structure. Rarity followed close behind. The sound of grass and sticks being trampled filled their hearing. It was the only thing they could hear in the dark woods, aside from the crickets chirping.

The structure in question was a two story cabin. The building appeared run down. There was some bits of wood hanging loose, and some plants having over grown around the structure.

"How ghastly!" said Rarity.

"Yeah, this place looks like it's seen better days," said Junior, stepping to the porch. Rarity quickly grabbed his arm.

"You're not actually going in there, are you?" Rarity's eyes were wide in alarm.

"There could be something here that may prove useful. It's weird enough that this place is out here," said Junior.

"B-But... It's so... Dirty," Rarity cringed.

"It's all part of the adventure. But if you rather hang out here..." Junior glanced to the woods. Rarity grimaced, stiffening as she heard the distant shriek of an owl.

"Maybe it's not so bad on the inside!" Rarity briskly walked into the cabin, along with Junior. She groaned as she stood in the middle of a large room, where dust collected, and cobwebs hung.

"I stand corrected," said Rarity, flatly.

The two teens navigated through the abandoned cabin. The wooden floor creaked beneath them with every step that they took. Rarity did her best to avoid contact with any cobwebs or dusty furniture that filled the place. Rarity suddenly let out a short scream.

"What?!" Junior exclaimed, while Rarity clung to him.

"T-There's a wolf in here!" cried Rarity, pointing to another room. Junior cautiously made his way over to the room and peered inside. He then let out a snort.

"Relax," said Junior, bringing Rarity inside. The girl yelped as she attempted to pull back out of the room.

"Look, it's just a taxidermy mount," said Junior, pointing his flashlight. The light illuminated a grey wolf, which appeared to be standing hunched with its fangs bared. It stood on a pedestal, decorated to look like the forest floor. Rarity sighed in relief.

"I never was much of a dog person. I prefer cats" said Rarity, eyeing the wolf.

"Hm." Junior nodded, before leading the girl out of the room. Unbeknownst to them, a shadow loomed.

Rarity and Junior made their way upstairs. Again, their steps caused the house to creek. They hoped that no one or nothing was here to take notice of the obnoxiously loud sounds. The pair soon arrived to the second floor, where they found an assortment of different rooms. The two stepped into one of the rooms, finding it to be full of storage trunks.

"Huh, wonder what's in these," said Junior as he approached one of the trunks.

"Uh, Gojira... I don't think we should snooping through that," said Rarity, reluctant.

"What are they gonna do? Arrest us? This place is abandoned," said Junior. Rarity grimaced. She never took Junior as someone who would be careless as this.

"Well, good luck with opening that trunk without a key," said Rarity. Junior suddenly grabbed the lock with his reptilian hand. He clenched his hand, crushing and shattering the lock to pieces. Junior looked to Rarity with a smirk.

"Oh, right. Carry on," said Rarity, nonchalant. Junior took the trunk and opened it wide.

"Whoa," said Junior in surprise.

"What is-" Rarity gasped. The two teens found a pile of fur pelts to resting inside of the trunk.

"Hey, Rare, you think it's real?" asked Junior. Rarity knelt down and began to feel the soft texture of the pelt.

"There's no doubt in my mind. This is real wolf fur!" said Rarity.

"Wait, isn't it illegal to poach wolves in our state?" asked Junior.

"Quite illegal," answered Rarity.

"Heh. I bet there's more in the other trunks. Whoever stashed this stuff here is fucked," said Junior

"Well, shall we let the others know and report it?" asked Rarity, standing up with Junior. She had her cell phone drawn out.

"Yeah. It's no monster, but we may have stumbled onto something-" Junior paused as he caught a thick smell in the air. It was foul, like an animal. Meanwhile, Rarity was sending a text message to Twilight.

"Alright. I told them to meet us..." Rarity trailed off, noticing that Junior had tensed up.

"What is it?" asked Rarity. Junior shushed her, his eyes wide and alert. He scanned the darkness of the second floor. His heart rate was steady. He could make out Rarity's own heart beat starting to quicken. That just reminded him to be all the more cautious.

"Come on. Let's get out of here," said Junior as he began to take a few steps away. Rarity followed close behind. As the two made their way to the stairs, the floor began creek louder.

"Whoa, whoa. Walk softly. The floor doesn't-"

There was a loud crash. Junior and Rarity screamed as the floor beneath them suddenly gave in. Rarity caught onto the railing that remained intact. Meanwhile, Junior slammed to the bottom floor.

"Ow..." Junior groaned.

"Gojira!" Rarity cried, dangling above. Junior winced as he shakily stood up. His eyes widened.

"Oh crap, Rarity!" cried Junior.

"Help!" Rarity strained, kicking her legs.

"Alright, don't panic! Just let go and I'll catch ya!" said Junior, standing under the girl.

"Eek! Gojira, don't look up my dress!" Rarity tucked her legs in, her face beat red. Junior grunted as his face flushed as well.

"I wasn't- Rarity, just come down!" said Junior.

"Not until you look away!" shouted Rarity,

"Well, I have to look at you if I'm gonna catch you! Just let go!" said Junior.

"NO!" cried Rarity, her face still hot.

"YOU ARE WEARING TIGHTS!" Junior shouted in exasperation. He couldn't fathom how this girl could be so stubborn. She was bound to lose her grip anyway.

Rarity gasped as she heard heavy footsteps. From the second floor, where it was still intact, she saw a large figure stalking towards her. A loud growl filled the air, as a pair of hellish red eyes glared at her. The creature had a large burly body, almost humanoid. But its head was that of a brown wolf. Its sharp fangs dripped saliva to the floor, as this wolf-like creature barred its teeth.

Rarity yelped as she suddenly released the railing, falling out of the beast's sight. Junior grunted as he caught the fashionista, carrying her like a princess.

"Nice of you to drop in," said Junior. Rarity suddenly screamed in panic as she began to kick and squirm. This forced Junior to put her down.

"Run, Gojira! RUUUN!!" Rarity screamed as she took off running out the front door of the cabin. Junior bore an odd look.

"Man, she can run fast in those heels," said Junior. He then stiffened as he heard a loud thump from behind. He turned to find the wolf man, standing up to a full height of 7 feet. Junior gulped as the beast snarled. Junior gasped as he stumbled back, his foot hitting a radio. It suddenly crackled to life.

"Who let the dogs out~?! Woof! woof! woof! woof! woof!"

Junior cried out as he broke off into a sprint, while the wolf man howled.

"Who let the dogs out~?! Woof! Woof! Woof! Woof! Woof! Who let the dogs out~?!"

Junior had managed to catch up to Rarity, who was still running without struggle. The two yelped as they felt the wolf land behind them. The beast gave fierce barks as it gave chase. The two teens picked up speed, as they ran into town. The two suddenly ran passed a pedestrian, who was crossing the empty street.

"Hey, what's with all of the- OH MY FUCKING-!" The pedestrian was interrupted as the wolf man rammed into him, sending him flying to the side.

"Woof! Woof! Woof! Woof! Woof!" The wolf man backed, continuing the chase.

"Who let the dogs out~?!"

Junior stopped for a brief moment, finding a stack of catnip to be sitting just outside of a local petshop. He grabbed a bag and hurled it towards the wolf. The beast yipped as the bag hit it, then resorted to tearing it apart.

Throughout the neighborhood, every cat, domestic and stray, stirred. They all began to yowl, running to the source that had disturbed their slumber. The wolf man suddenly found itself swarmed by a horde of cats, which began to claw, bite, and rub against it. The wolf man yipped and whined as the cats assaulted it. This allowed Junior and Rarity to put some distance between them and the creature.

"The party was nice the party was pumping~. Ah yepee ah yo! And everybody having a ball~. Yepee ah yo!"

Junior and Rarity rounded to a street corner, where they encountered Flash, Rodan and Twilight.

"Oh, hey guys!" Greeted Flash in surprise.

"Flash, MOVE!" cried Junior, skidding to a halt. He quickly looked over his shoulder.

"What's the deal? I thought we were supposed to-"

"Oh fuck! See ya!" said Junior, as he and Rarity ran passed the rest of the gang. It was here that the wolf man had come around the corner, barking. Flash, Twilight and Rodan screamed in unison, tripping over themselves to run away. The teens began to split off from each other as they fled.

"And tell the fellas stop the name callin'~. Yepee ah yo! Then them girls respond to the call~. I hear a woman shout outâ?¦~"

Rarity and Twilight sprinted across the town, as the wolf's barks followed close behind. The two found a lamppost. The two quickly scaled up the metallic pole, just as the wolf man came running by. The girls clung to the lamppost, high above the wolf man's reach. But, the beast continued to bark, swiping its claws at the girls in a vain attempt to reach them.

"Who let the dogs out~?! Woof! Woof! Woof! Woof! Woof! Who let the dogs out~?! Woof! Woof! Woof! Woof! Woof!"

A rock suddenly came hurling towards the wolf man's head. The beast yipped in pain, then turned to find Flash Sentry to be standing some short distance away, carrying rocks. He then hurled another, hitting the wolf man on the snout. The wolf snarled as it gave chase. Flash fled from the area, allowing Twilight and Rarity to climb down from the lamppost.

"Who let the dogs out~?! Woof! Woof! Woof! Woof! Woof! Who let the dogs out~?! Woof! Woof! Woof! Woof! Woof!"

Junior panted as he and Rodan stopped by a building wall. The two peered over the corner, finding Flash fleeing the wolf man down the street.

"Who let the dogs out~?!"

"Does anyone else hear music?" asked Junior. Rodan looked at him with a questioning look.

"What are you talkin' about?" asked Rodan.

"You don't hear THAT?" asked Junior, pointing to the air. Rodan stood silently, his ears tuned.

"Last year in the dance you had a ball~! You call me millibug and skettell~! Get back gruffy, mash scruffy~! Get back you flea infested mongrel~!"

"Dude, I don't hear anything," said Rodan, shrugging. Junior gave him a slack jawed look. His eyes then widened in realization.

"Oh God! The music in my head!" exclaimed Junior.

"We can worry about your loss of sanity later! We gotta shake off that thing!" said Rodan.

"Alright, alright! Lemme think," said Junior as he smacked the side of his own head. His eyes darted around the town.

"How about that?" Rodan pointed ahead to a structure. Junior gave him an odd look. Rodan shrugged.

"Come on, follow my lead!"

Rodan and Junior bolted off towards a closed restaurant. They made a run for the alley, just as the wolf man arrived to the scene. It snarled as it gave chase. As the boys entered through the back door,
The wolf man skidded to a halt. It rammed itself into the door, knocking it off of its hinges.

The beast snarled as it scurried through the kitchen, knocking over pots and pans. It noticed that the door to the front room of the establishment to be swinging. The wolf growled as it pounced through the door. It gave a confused grunt, tilting its head.

"This won't work," junior whispered, standing in an apron. He sported a fake twirled mustache, as did Rodan.

"Just shut up and act cool," hissed Rodan. He suddenly placed on a big welcoming grin.

"Ey! Look at what we have-a' here! A hungry customah!" Rodan exclaimed, putting on a phony accent. He quickly pulled up a chair and forced the wolfman to sit. He then pushed the chair back to the table.

"Welcome to Mario and Luigi's Restuarante! This is my brothah, Luigi!" said Rodan, gesturing to Junior.

"Uh... Hey, Paissano?" Junior awkwardly spoke. Rodan came rushing by, setting down a basket of breadsticks. He handed off the menu to the beast.

"Now what would you like-a' to order? Care to stuff-a' your face with our pizza? We have the best pies in the house! Or maybe you'd rather slurp up lots-a' spaghetti?" asked Rodan. The wolfman began to skim through the menu. He then grunted as he pointed to an order.

"The Lotsa Meat Pizza! Excellent choice, sir!" said Rodan. Both he and Junior rushed back to the kitchen.

"OK, now what, genius?" asked Junior.

"We shut up and make some damn pizza. Now hand me all of the peppers and hot sauces you can find," said Rodan as he began to grab jars of tomato sauce.

Later, the two had began to take the bucket of tomato sauce, filled with some pepper flakes. Junior held up a spoon that was coated with the stuff and gave a sniff. He dropped the spoon and coughed, his eyes beginning to water.

"Alright, pour it on!" said Rodan.

Later, the boys were carrying out a fresh, steaming hot pizza, coated in cheese, and different meats that ranged from bacon, pepperoni, and sausage. The pizza was set before the wolf man, who began to scarf it down. In a few moments, half the pizza was gone. By now, the creature registered the intense spice. It began to pant, its red hot tongue hanging out.

"Water, sir?" Rodan set a pitcher of ice cold water down. The wolf man snatched it up and began to chug down the refreshing liquid. But it did little to bring relief. The boys set down more pitchers of water, which the wolf consumed. By some miracle, the heat grew less intense. But it still stung. There was a sudden gurgle. The beast held its gut with a whine, as the gurgling grew worse.

"Bathroom is right down the hall," said Junior. The wolf bolted from its seat and rushed to the hall.

"Let's go!" said Rodan. The two mutants fled the restaurant, as the wolf man occupied itself in the bathroom.

Junior and Rodan ran through town. They skidded to a halt once they found the rest of the gang waiting in the street.

"OK, we lost him!" said Rodan

"Now we know this monster is legit. What do we do now?" asked Flash.

"We get the hell out of dodge, that's what we do!" said Rodan.

"We can't just leave the town to fend off that vicious beast!" exclaimed Rarity, shock plastered on her face.

"Besides, the van won't be ready until tomorrow," said Twilight.

"I will walk my ass home if I have to!" said Rodan.

"Let's at least tell the authorities or something. They might know what to- Gah!!" Flash cried out as he was suddenly forced to the ground. He lied face down on the ground, giving muffled screams as he was ran over by a mobility scooter, ridden by a morbidly obese man, with neat golden hair. The teens gasped in shock in horror as they witnessed the wheels grind against Flash's back, leaving dirt tire tracks over his white shirt.

"Damn. I seem to have run over trash," said the obese man with a grunt.

"Dude, what the hell?!" Rodan exclaimed.

"Oh. It's just a poorly written love interest," said the man as he set his scooter in reverse, backing off of Flash. Twilight and Rarity rushed to the boy's side, helping him up to his feet. Flash bore a look of trauma, twitching as gravel fell from his chest.

"Why is everyone so mean to me?" muttered Flash.

"Hey, asshole! No one beats Flash into the ground but me!" said Junior with a glare.

"I was just TRYIIIIING to get to the mayor's office. It's not my fault that he was in the way. The physically challenge have the right away, sir," said the obese middle aged man, his tone bordering on whining.

"Physically challenged huh?" Rodan eyed the man.

"Mr. Petro'grabble!" a young woman exclaimed, rushing over. She was dressed in a formal dress and heals. Bags appeared beneath her eyes.

"Ms. Jitterbug, where have you been?! These hooligans could've assaulted and robbed me! Especially that one right there!" said the obese man, pointing an accusatory finger at Junior.

"Fat fuck," Junior muttered to himself.

"I-I'm sorry, Mr. Petro'grabble! I-I was just looking for my um- Ahem. M-My-" The woman suddenly drew out a pill bottle and began to pour one into her palm, which she ingested and chased down with a bottle of water. The teens just stared, unable to speak.

"Where is- Ah! There you are, you big oaf! Get over here and protect me!" shouted Petro'grabble, shaking his fist. A large and imposing man in a suit came walking over. His face was concealed by a mouthless ski mask. The teens took a step back as he arrived. The imposing man grunted as he made motions with his hand.

"No, my blood pressure is fine! J-Just get me my booger sugar!" shouted Petro'grabble, his face red.

"Boo- Wait, what?!" exclaimed Rodan. The masked man drew out a case, which Petro'grabble snatched. He greedily opened it and found several green candy packets, labeled 'booger sugar'. He tore a couple open, where a syrupy green substance was exposed, coated in white sugary flakes. He began to suck the packets, much to the disgust of the teens.

"Oh. He meant-" Junior was interrupted as Petro'grabble threw the discarded packets to the ground with a sigh.

"These hicks won't want to live here anymore now that there's a monster running around. You brats ought to follow their lead and leave! Now, get out of the way! I don't plan to be here all night! I have money to make!" said Petro'grabble as he raced his scooter passed the mystery gang, followed by Jitterbug and the masked man.

"That. Was weird," said Twilight. Junior narrowed his eyes.

"It's them," said Junior.

"What's them?" asked Flash, as the rest of the gang looked to Junior in curiosity.

"I think they tricked the townsfolk into believing that there's a monster around," said Junior.

"What?" asked Rarity incredulously.

"How does he know that there's a monster around? These people think it's all the ravings of an old lunatic," said Junior. Twilight shook her head.

"Well, we have been running around town getting chased by what is actually an anthropomorphic wolf. It's not that much of a-"

"So a wealthy looking business man that's fat as a king just happened to swing by as the monster is running loose? I smell bullshit," said Junior.

"Well..." Twilight hummed. Flash scoffed.

"Dude, it sounds like you're reaching. I'm sure it's all an easily explained coincidence," said Flash, dismissive.

"Except I just rebutted- OK, you know what? Let's make a bet, Flash," said Junior, crossing his arms.

"Why? You already spoiled the plot?" deadpanned Rodan.

From behind a building, Pinkie Pie peered over. She glared daggers at the mystery gang, flaring her nostrils. She then slowly returned back to the shadows, disappearing from sight.

"I bet that if we catch the werewolf and prove it's fake, you have to admit that I'm always right. Even when I'm wrong," said Junior, smirking.

"What?" asked Flash in annoyance.

"How old are you again?" asked Twilight, cocking a brow. Junior held out his hand.

"What do I get out of this?" asked Flash.

"Nothing, because I'm right," said Junior.

"I'm not agreeing to the bet if it's not worth my while!" said Flash. Junior sighed in exasperation.

"Alright fine. I'll uh... Fuck. I guess I'll be nice to you for a week or something. And I'll slide you 20 bucks," said Junior. Flash smirked as he held out his hand, prompting Junior to grasp. The two shook hands.







Later that evening, the mystery gang found themselves standing in the middle of town. They were huddled over a crudely drawn map.

"OK, so Gojira and Rodan will act as bait. You two will lead the monster through these obstacles, disorienting it. When you reach the checkpoint, we'll spring the trap. Then, we'll have it right where we want it!" said Twilight, a devious smile on her face.

"It's so brilliant that it just might work," said Flash, a smirk on his face.

"So, why are me and Goji the bait?" asked Rodan.

"Because you guys are the fastest. You wouldn't make helpless ladies such as us act as bait, would you?" asked Rarity with a pout.

"But I don't really wanna be the bait either." Rodan flatly replied.

"Would you do it for a Goji snack?" asked Twilight, holding up a baggie full of cookie-like treats. Junior did a double take.

"I'm sorry, what? Hey! Those are the cookies that Mosura made me! Don't go through my shit!" said Junior with a glare.

"How come she only made some for you?" asked Flash in disappointment.

"It pays to be her crush," muttered Twilight.

"Oh! Mosu's sweets? Ah... But it's still not enough to get me motivated," said Rodan, crossing his arms, raising his nose to the air.

"How about a kiss to go with it?" asked Rarity, batting her eyelashes.

"Can I... Get lips?" asked Rodan. Rarity gasped. She suddenly smacked Rodan across the face, giving an indignant huff.

"Yeah, I deserved that," said Rodan, rubbing his cheek with a frown.

"For once, I disagree. I mean, you're risking your life after all," said Junior with a smirk. Rarity glared at him.

Junior and Rodan found themselves to be roaming through the forest in silence. Their eyes scanned the darkness, as the moon lit up their irises. Rodan's teeth were chattering loudly, as the hair on his body stood on end. Junior grimaced in annoyance.

"Here boy! Come here boy!" called Junior, whistling.

"Look, why don't we bail now and say that we couldn't find it? Or maybe we can lie and say it died," said Rodan.

"I'd love nothing more, but we'll never hear the end of it. You got that dog whistle, right?" asked Junior.

"Yeah," said Rodan, holding out a small silver tube. Junior took the whistle and blew into it.

"Careful blowing into that. It could hurt dogs if it’s blown too long or too hard," said Rodan.

"Why wouldn't we wanna hurt the man-eating werewolf?" asked Junior, raising a brow.

"Oh yeah, good point," said Rodan. Junior went back to blowing into the whistle for a minute. Unbeknownst to him, a figure loomed in the shadows.

"You'd think we'd hear this right?" asked Junior.

"Well, we're not dogs," said Rodan with a shrug. The two fell silent as they heard a low growl behind them. The turned to find the wolfman looking down at them, barring its teeth. Junior quickly hurled the whistle at the wolf's snout, causing it to yip in pain. Junior and Rodan began to cartoonishly kick their legs, kicking up dirt as they attempted to flee. Just as the wolf swung its claws, Junior and Rodan burst off into a plume of smoke.

The wolf gave chase, barking after the teens. Junior and Rodan continued on through the forest, making their way near town. As the two mutants made their way passed a tree, Twilight, Flash and Rarity appeared.

"Here they come!" said Twilight.

They held onto a rope, as the wolfman rapidly approached. The three gave a tug at the rope and released it. Suddenly, a large cage made up of wood suddenly dropped. The wolf skidded to a halt as its eyes widened in alarm. The cage crashed to the earth, catching its prey. The wolf gave a confused grunt, tilting its head. Flash, Twilight and Rarity found themselves trapped in the cage.

"Ruh oh," said Junior, slumping his shoulders.

"Zoinks!" exclaimed Rodan.

"Jinkies!" cried Twilight.

"Jeepers!" Rarity gasped.

"FUCK!" Flash exclaimed in dread. The wolf snarled as it turned its attention back to Junior and Rodan. The two boys looked to each other in dismay.

"I hate improvising," said Junior. The two suddenly took off running, while the wolf man returned to pursuing them.

"Goji, what's a dogs' weakness?!" asked Rodan.

"Shit, I don't know! Table scraps? A tennis ball? A leg to hump?!" Junior cried, as the two ran through the streets.

"Oh wait, I'm thinking of cats!" said Rodan. Junior gasped as he spotted the local animal shelter on their run.

"Follow me!" said Junior, running on ahead. Rodan pursued, with the wolfman hot on their heels. The wolf growled as it began to follow the boys inside of the shelter. It skidded to a halt, finding the boys to be standing at the end of a large room. A room filled with several kennels. Junior smashed his fist against a button on the wall, which caused a loud buzzing sound. Simultaneously, the gates to the kennels all opened, allowing many dogs to emerge. They comprised of many breeds. Mostly large ones. The dogs snarled as they bared their teeth at the wolf man, whose ears folded against its skull. Junior looked the beast dead in the eye from the other end of the room.

"Sick 'em," said Junior.

From outside, everyone in town heard the horde of angry barks and howls filling the air. The cries of a beast also pierced the once quiet night. Everyone in town emerged from their homes and establishments, approaching the animal shelter. Moments later, there was silence. Flash, Twilight and Rarity stood among the crowd, wide eyed.

Junior and Rodan emerged from the shelter. The wolf man was dragged along, tied up in dog leashes. Everyone gasped in shock and horror at the hairy abomination that was brought over. Junior sighed as he stopped.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the monster of... nameless town," said Junior.

"I told you!" an old man shouted, glaring at those around him.

"OK, let's cut the crap. I'm gonna start accusing here," said Junior, before pointing.

"Mr. Petro'grabble! I suspect that you have something to do with this!" said Junior. Everyone gasped in shock, while Petro'grabble's expression hardened. Jitterbug quickly plopped a pill into her mouth, gulping nervously.

"You weren't here earlier. And you happen to know that this town had a monster problem, while the locals believed it was mere urban legend. That was the first thing that clued me in," said Junior. He then pointed to Twilight.

"Twilight also discovered traces of oil in the general area. A man with a name like yours raised a flag. So I did a quick google search of your name and discovered that you were in fact the CEO of an oil company!" said Junior.

"When did you google that?" whispered Rodan. Junior ignored him.

"Bah! Don't listen to the ravings of this hooligan! He was going to assault me!" cried Petro'grabble.

"By the way, where's your other cohort. The creepy guy with the ski mask? I wonder..." Junior turned his eyes to the wolf man. He grabbed the head and pulled. The head slipped off, revealed to be a mere mask. Everyone gasped as another mask was revealed beneath. A ski mask.

"It's-! Uh... Wait, what was his name?" asked Rarity, scratching her chin.

"Ski Mask Guy! Just as I suspected! This proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that this fat, greasy, grabbling fuck sought natural oil deposits in this town! He set his goon up as a monster to scare everyone out of the town! Even going as far as to poach wolves for their fur to design a convincing a monster! Even mutants like us couldn't smell passed the wolf pelts that made up this costume!" said Junior, tugging at the fur on suit. A maniacal look grew on his face, which began to unnerve anyone that dared to gaze upon his face. He then craned his neck behind himself to his friends, a manic look in his eyes.

"And that means that we not only saved the town by solving the mystery, I also won the bet! I AM ALWAYS RIGHT! HAHAHAHA!!" Junior cackled like a mad man. The rest of the teens trembled fearfully under the boy's shadow.

"G-Gojira, calm down. We get it, the monster was fake," whimpered Flash.

"Say it. Say it now," Junior growled, narrowing his eyes. Flash gulped.

"You... Are always right," said Flash in dismay. Junior chuckled as he stood up straight, grinning.

"I can die happy now," said Junior.

"Hey, your van's fixed," said a man, wiping his dirty hand as he gestured to a familiar van that rested on the street.

"Sweet! This case is closed. Now let's go home," said Junior.

"Quite the investigator, aren't you?" chortled Petro'grabble. Junior turned, cocking a brow. He wondered what this tycoon had to laugh about.

"Yes, you caught the criminal. But, can you actually prove that this man is the same one who works for me?" asked Petro'grabble, smirking. Junior merely laughed.

"Do you see other guys around here dressed in this get up? You tell me if you recognize... THIS!" Junior suddenly yanked off the ski mask. But, he dropped the mask to the ground. His blood ran cold, his eyes widened. He felt sick to his stomach. The man's actual face was grotesquely disfigured. Most of it had rotted and decayed, exposing his skull and muscular tissue. The only things that were intact was the man's lips and the eyes that rested inside of the sockets of his skull.

The mystery gang suddenly all screamed in terror at the sight. Their hair stood on end, as their pupils shrank to pinpricks. They took off running, making their way to the van, which roared to life. The van's tires screeched as it drove off, racing out of town.

"Yessss. Yes! Victory is mine! I got away with it! In spite of those meddling kids and their stupid Mutie!" Petro'grabble cackled, intensely rubbing his greasy hands together. He made strange throaty sounds, that sounded much like a degenerate experiencing sexual pleasure. "I will exploit this town for the oil that lies beneath!"

Jitterbug shakily began to draw out her pill bottle. As she held it over her palm, she gasped. The woman began to frantically look into the bottle. Her face grew pale.

"I'm... I'm out of pills..." Jitterbug spoke. She turned her attention to the night sky. The full moon was revealed from the parting clouds. As the light shined down upon her, Jitterbug suddenly dropped to her hands and knees. She gave agonized screams, as her body began to grow in mass. Her clothes tore from the growth of muscles, and the restructuring of her body. Her body sprouted dark fur, as her limbs carried her on all fours. She let out a howl, much to the horror of everyone around her. The She-wolf suddenly lunged for Petro'grabble and sunk her fangs into him. The tycoon wailed in agony as Jitterbug continued to tear into him.

Some of the town's folk stood, watching in horror at the sight. They were unable to look away from the carnage. Meanwhile, the rest of the citizens sat in lawn chairs, passing beers to each other.

"On the bright side, Petro is going to fill that She-Wolf for weeks" said one of the onlookers, sipping his beer.







The mystery gang found themselves slumped on a sofa. They appeared worn out and traumatized from the night they had experienced. Junior sighed.

"What a fucking night," said Junior.

"Here, here," said Rarity.

"I lost a bet, and I don't think that guy is gonna face justice for what he tried to do," said Flash in dismay.

"Well, life goes on," said Rodan, lazily.

"That's... I don't even wanna talk about it," said Twilight.

"Well, at least we're at the cabin," said Rarity, as the group found the rest of the teens to be dancing to music.

"Yeah, I guess it could've gone worse," said Junior with a shrug. There was a sudden ring of a doorbell. Everyone stopped what they were doing as they heard this.

"Huh. Who could that be?" asked Junior.

The teens all made their way to the front door. Without hesitating, Junior opened up the front door. No one was there. The teens looked around in confusion.

"Hey! I'm down here!" called a young male voice. The teens looked down, their eyes widening. They found a white, bulbous headed apparition with large blue eyes to be staring up at them. His plump cheeks raised as a bright smile appeared on his translucent face.

"Hi! I'm Casper, the Friendly-!"

"AH! A Gh-Gh-Gh-Gh-Gh-Gh- GHOOOOOST!!" Rodan cried. The teens all screamed, their cries echoing out into the forest.

Soon, they were all fleeing from the cabin. They stumbled passed logs, bushes and rocks, screaming.

"Why can't we just have a break?!" Rarity wailed. Soon, the apparition was left alone at the cabin. He frowned deeply.

"Golly, what did I do wrong?"

Meanwhile, the teens all found themselves in the clearing of the forest, far away from the cabin. They were all panting, their hearts pounding in their chests.

"Is that spook still around?!" cried Applejack.

"No, I think we lost it!" said Sunset.

"Wait! Where's Goji?!" cried Fluttershy. The teens all looked around, looks of dread on their faces.

"GOJIRA!! WHERE ARE YAH?!" Rodan cried.

"I'm right here!" Junior suddenly shouted, annoyance in his tone.

The teens all turned to find Junior standing several feet away, by a tree.

"Oh," said Rodan, more calm than moments ago
