[eerie music playing]
[Clawdeen] Well, iBall, it's been a whirlwind weekend.
After I came clean to my dad about my true inner monster,
we had some serious quality time.
-[both laugh] -We laughed...
we ate...
[sniffs] Ah, this smell, this taste--
-I could never forget. -Mom's tamales recipe.
Mine never come out as good as hers, but not bad.
We talked about Mom.
This is my favorite.
Wait, I don't remember ever seeing Mom in werewolf form,
but look at her hand-- uh, paw.
Even if I didn't know, I must have felt it.
Why'd she have to disappear before she could tell me?
I know this sounds one sausage short of a gumbo,
but I have a feeling that she's still alive
out there, somewhere,
and every second of the last ten years,
all I've wanted is to find her.
I know looking into her secrets was dangerous,
but she had to have left something behind.
You can look in her stuff.
Whoa, look at all this.
But I don't see anything about her monster side.
Guess she wouldn't have kept that stuff here.
-A human might've seen it. -True.
Still, some little clues slipped through.
Ha! I've looked at this music box
a million times and never thought it was a clue
about my mom being a werewolf.
She used to sing me this lullaby.
[hums peaceful tune]
But everything else she left was a dead end.
Up next in Mom's box of mysteries,
we have a blank book.
Dad, this book's not blank.
Hmm...
Wait...
Blank.
[gasps] Not blank.
For monster eyes only? [laughs]
Your mom brought it home right before she disappeared.
"Monster High: An Architectural History."
This has to be a clue to where she went,
and I'm gonna figure it out.
All these years without my mom,
my heart's had a paw-shaped hole.
But when I went back to Monster High
after my weekend home,
I realized that a lot of other monster-shaped pieces
fit into my heart puzzle too.
It has to mean something, right?
It's from our library.
But be prepared for killer late fees.
It's ten years overdue.
Oops, you dropped this.
Looks like a puzzle.
This could be a clue about what happened to my mom!
Luckily, I'm an ace code-cracking puzzle solver--
like, almost the best in our puzzle-ology class.
Except for Manny, who is
the best puzzle solver in our class.
Everyone needs a good archrival.
Hmm, that looks like a gorgon
and some sort of bat,
and the thing in the middle is a bullseye.
-Oh! -[electricity crackles]
-What? -Says here
Lagoona's great-great-grandmomster
was the model for the sea monster
guardian statue! Neat.
How is that connected to my mom's disappearance?
I don't know.
Maybe we should start where she left off--
The library!
Manny Taur.
[screams] Oh, hi. Uh, sorry.
Library's usually just me at this hour.
So how can I help you, Draculaura?
[laughs] Help me?
I can't accept help from my puzzle-ology rival!
Not even if you are a junior librarian.
We're rivals? Really?
That's an honor, I guess.
Hi, know anything about this?
[squeals with excitement]
"The Architectural History of Monster High: Volume I"!
This has been out of circulation for a decade!
I've read the other eight volumes twice.
Th--okay, three times.
But now my completionist dreams can finally come true.
There are nine volumes?
-Yeesh. -[inhales deeply]
[sighs enthusiastically]
But this is the only one
that describes the original Monster High
as the founders intended it.
[mutters indistinctly]
Oh! It even talks about
the deepest level of the catacomb labyrinth
underneath the school.
Oh? Feeling a flashback coming on.
[Manny echoes] Catacomb labyrinth.
[woman] We're not stopping now, Dr. Blunder.
I didn't come all the way down to the catacombs for nothing!
Uh, is Frankie okay?
Frankenstein monster thinkies.
It's a thing they do sometimes.
Whoa, Dr. Blunder's brain bit wiggled again--
saw some symbols and catacombs
and monsters in snazzy cloaks and-- and--
and nothing. Poof.
Memory gone.
[electricity crackles]
Uh, Frankie, where are you going?
Oh, Mom says when that happens,
I gotta jog the memory, so I'm going jogging.
Bye.
It's some sort of puzzle.
Oh, I love puzzles! They're kind of my thing.
I also love puzzles,
and they'll be my thing eventually,
but don't you worry, Clawdeen.
I'll figure this out no matter how hard it is
or how long it takes,
even if I have to go to the ends of the Earth
or even the ends of the universe.
-Got it! -[sighs]
-Show-off. -The Monster High founders
built the school on a wellspring of power
that could only be accessed through the catacomb labyrinth.
There were entrances to the labyrinth
around the school, but they've all been sealed off.
This map shows the original entrances,
and the symbols line up!
[Clawdeen] This one. It's the werewolf statue
in the garden.
[Manny] We'll need to do some research.
If this led to your mom disappearing,
we'll wanna be careful. Uh!
Werewolf zoomies-- it's a thing they do sometimes.
Come on.
[inhales deeply]
Aw, it's just statue-y.
W-We could go back to the library
and read the book for more information,
and I'm not just saying that because I really wanna read it.
But we're so close.
My mom's been gone for ten years already.
I need her back.
I'm not letting some statue get in my way.
[mechanical whirring, clanking]
What'd you do?
-Ah! -Whoa!
Yo, Frankie, what's up?
Eh, just out for a jog with Watzie
and trying to remember something.
[hissing] Precious memories?
[electricity crackles]
[gasps]
[hissing] Place the talismans.
The portal should only be open
during the Blood Moon Eclipse
with the full monster council present
and their respective talismans in hand.
Otherwise, opening this portal
could unleash disaster on our entire world.
[gasps] Opening this portal
could unleash disaster on our entire world.
That sounds like a real bummer.
And it sounds like something
Clawdeen would do to find her mom.
Watzie, legs!
Come on, Deuce.
Hmm, this must be the catacomb labyrinth
the book mentioned--
the book I didn't get a chance to finish reading.
[screams]
[whimpers]
Uh, we should probably head back to the library
and do some more research.
We can come back later.
[eerie voice echoes]
A lot later.
Uh-uh. No way. We're so close.
Mom must've left the moon claw so I could find Monster High,
and now I have the clues to finally find her.
[sighs] Fine.
I'm a total bloodsucker for family reunions.
Looks like we've got a labyrinth to solve, Manny.
[eerie voice echoes]
And if we could do it superfast,
that would be much appreciated.
Draculaura! CD! You in here?
-[gasps] -[electricity crackles]
[gasps]
The map? If they know about the statue,
bet you they're already in the catacombs!
We have to stop them before they unleash that disaster.
Watzie, could you use that super sniffer
-to track Clawdeen? -[barks]
[eerie voice echoing]
That howling was just a draft.
See? There's nothing to be worried about.
But where's the draft coming from?
Yeah, all I see is rock wreckage.
[gasps] Draculaura, you're a genius!
I know.
But feel free to tell me why you think so.
The stones must fit in there.
[triumphant music]
-[grunts] -Yes! We did it!
-[shimmering] -But what's it doing?
-Look! -[tense music]
Bullseye,
the last symbol on Mom's notes. I'm coming, Mom!
-Wait! -Don't!
Whoa. What is this?
[gasps]
-Over here! -Frankie, Deuce.
Hey, so any luck with that memory you were jogging earlier?
Because Clawdeen just went into a big black hole,
which seems bad.
Yup, remembered it all,
and it's definitely bad she went down there.
Gluttony is scared of heights.
Makes me queasy.
You're not gonna like what's about to happen next then.
[wind blows]
[screams]
[grunts]
-[both scream] -Whoa!
[grunts]
-[grunts] -What are you all doing here?
Oh, just came to tell you that since
it's not a blood moon eclipse,
and you don't have a monster council,
opening the portal would unleash disaster,
so don't put your talisman in there.
You already put it in, didn't you?
[talisman whirring]
[eerie voice echoes]
[suspenseful music]
Mom? Are you there?
It's me.
-[creature fluttering] -[all grunting]
Oh, claw. Who was that?
[snarls]
-Oh, what? -Hey!
I think it's time to exit, friends.
Wait, my necklace! The moon claw!
That thing from before must've snatched it.
We have to stop it.
Run now!
[dramatic music]
Oh, zap.
[panting]
[barks]
[eerie music playing]
[owl hooting]
Add three drops of basilisk venom.
That's, like, three-ish.
[door creaks]
[scoffs] Hello?
Are we just bursting in on mummy royalty
without knocking now?
[screams]
Who screamed?
Thanks, Ghoulia.
Alert!
Unidentified intruders spotted in Monster High.
-Alert! -Wait, what's the plan?
-Stop the disaster. -Simple, but solid.
-We'll go this way. -[Cleo] Help!
We'll take this side.
-Cleo? -[gasps]
-You okay? -No.
I have been intruded upon!
Over there!
[growls] Rawr!
[grunts]
Give me my necklace back, you--
Wait, you're a werewolf.
-And you're in my way. -Who are you?
I'm the only one who can stop that disaster.
-[squeaks] -My tamale!
[Clawdeen] My necklace!
[sniffs] I know that smell.
[squeaks and growls]
Don't you dare, you lunch-stealing splitsee.
[growls]
-[snarls] -[squeaks]
Splitsee. It splits. I get it.
-[squeaking] -Hey!
[gasps]
What is that thing-- or things?
I kind of want to study them.
[growls]
[all squeaking]
Or hug them.
[growling]
[munching]
Don't be fooled by its cuteness.
The splitsee is a world destroyer.
Wait, who are you?
Why do you have my mom's tamales?
These are my mom's tamales.
Wait a minute. Clawdeen Wolf?
[gasps] How do you know my name?
My mom told me all about you--
our mom.
I'm Clawd, your brother.
[all] What?
Clawd and Clawdeen? [chuckles]
Thank Ra my parents didn't name me Nefera-een. Ugh.
Right. Not the time, Cleo.
Mira, it's a long story.
So, I'm gonna give you highlights--
[crashing and snarling] On the move.
Come on.
Oh, hey, hello?
I am coming with!
[squeaks]
[dramatic music]
Mom got trapped in Beheme, the place where I grew up.
Pero, she didn't know that she had a bun in the oven,
AKA the adorable baby me.
Frankie, Cleo, this way!
-Right behind you! -Coming, Draculaura!
But you're too old to be my little brother.
Technically, I'm your older brother, because I'm 16.
Time passes differently there.
It's filled with terrifying beasts
and whatever you did earlier brought me and splitsee here.
[squeaking]
[grunts]
[both grunt]
[all squeaking]
Based on what Mom told me,
I'm guessing this is Monster High,
which is exactly where Mom and I
have been trying to get for years,
so thanks, I guess.
[grunts]
Look, I don't know why you'd make up some story
about my mom, but-- [gasps]
-Huh? -[sniffs]
You're... [gulps]
My... [gulps]
-Brother. -[screaming]
We have to stop this disaster!
But you're telling me everything
in extreme detail later.
If we survive, sure.
Perfecto!
-Aw. -[squeaking]
-Hola, cutie. -[growls]
-[munches] -[gasps]
-[squeaks] -Aw. Two cuties.
[squeaks]
Impressive jumping.
-[gasps] -[both growling]
-Don't you dare. -[squeaks]
-No! -[munches]
What? How dare you
eat the stinkwich of the headmistress!
Detention!
[rapid munching]
-[growls] -Hey!
I was in the middle of an epic text.
-Give it back! -[both munching]
-Whoa! -[all screaming]
Not cool!
What is that thing?
-[all squeaking] -It ate my homework!
[dramatic music]
Well, ha, that escalated quickly.
You don't have to be an expert puzzle solver
to see that.
So how do we fix this, Clawd?
Mom and I, we got a pest control business
back in Beheme.
Figured out we can sing splitsees to sleep,
and then--you don't have a De-Splitifier handy, do you?
[gasps]
[Dr. Blunder] Having this De-Splitifier handy
will help fend off future disasters!
Now, time for lunch.
[cackles]
Whoa, Dr. Blunder has De-Splitifier
stored in the lab.
Also, kind of craving a stinkwich now.
- [alarm buzzing] -[skull] Intruder in the creepeteria.
Intruder in the hauntonomics class.
-Intruder in the clawditorium! -[feedback screeches]
Ugh! Why are your skulls so loud here?
[gasps] That's it! Skullette !
She's hooked up so every corner of the school
can hear her, which means we can use her
to get all the splitsees asleep at once.
Frankie, get the De-Splitifier. Clawd and I will sing to them.
The rest of you, gather the snoozing splitsees
and meet in the lab.
Dude!
[gasps]
Ms. Wolf, I don't have time to meet new students.
I need to secure Monster High's priceless records
-before that splitsee-- -[growls]
[burps]
-[squeaks] -That's why we're here.
-We need to see Skullette. -[scoffs]
Last time a student got Skullette access,
it was ten minutes of armpit farts broadcast school-wide.
-[growls] -[crashing]
She's all yours.
[squeaks and growls]
[squeaks]
-[growls] -Ha!
No, you have to sing into it. I'll keep my moon claw.

I'm asking that everyone

into the mad science lab--
quietly! Thank you.
-♪ You are my moon ♪ -♪ Eres mi luna ♪
Aw, both adorable and dangerous.
Like me!
Aw, you're so cute when you sleep.
I could eat you with a spoon--
or with a fork!
You don't know where these have been, Lagoona.
-Ew. -Aww.
[peaceful music]
[all snoring]
[device whirs]
[device crackles]
[squeaks]
Dr. Blunder did a bunch of work with splitsees.
This machine combines them all back to the first one.
-[device whirring] -[squeaks]
One of our pest control gadgets.
It'll stop it from splitting again.
Yeah, but what do we do with it?
Don't look at me.
Most cute, tiny, furry things
-are terrified of-- -[squeaking]
Aw, I love it,
and I'm keeping it forever.
The library shift will be even more fun
with a little book buddy.
I wonder if there's a splitsee manual.
Well, they need plenty of water and naps,
and they like chin scratches.
I can't believe I'm helping you care
for the jerk who stole my lunch every day.
[squeaks]
Can you really blame him though?
-Mom's tamales are-- -[both] The best!
I can make 'em for you sometime if you want.
I'd like that.
Uh, Manny, I think I'd rather be your friend
than your archrival.
And let's face it.
I definitely need a puzzle-ology tutor.
And I'd rather be your tutor
than the guy who had no idea he was your rival.
-Good teamwork back there. -Yeah.
So even though I didn't get my mom back,
I figured out another piece of the puzzle that's me
and got back a missing piece I didn't even know was gone--
a brother.
As for the fallout, well,
Headmistress Bloodgood was surprisingly understanding.
The symbols on Watzie's collar match
the monster talismans I saw in the memory.
There's the Frankenstein one,
and Clawdeen's got the werewolf one,
so just need to find the sea monster,
gorgon, mummy, and vampire talismans.
Many of the talismans were hidden over time,
but with some research,
we should be able to track them down
before the next Blood Moon Eclipse.
Why do we need 'em all anyway?
Can't we just do what Clawdeen did earlier
and open the portal now?
Mom is all alone back there.
The portal has already been destabilized.
If we try it again improperly,
not only could it collapse and trap Selena in Beheme forever,
it could release the great power
that flows beneath Monster High and destroy everything.
[thunder cracks]
I promise we will bring Selena back,
but without destroying the world when we do.
[Clawdeen] Even though I really wanna find Mom,
I know we have to wait until the time is right
to put that piece of the puzzle back.
But we don't have to wait that long
before I introduce Clawd to Dad.
Dad is gonna flip, and in the meantime,
Clawd's been helping by telling me all about Mom
and how hard she's been trying to get back here.
I'm just getting to know him, and he's getting to know me...
-and our whole world, really. -[slurps]
[electricity zaps]
Ugh. Ay, sabe malo!
I feel like I licked an electric eel.
[giggles] It's an acquired taste.
-[slurps] -But I have a feeling
Clawd's gonna be more than a brother.
He's gonna be a great friend too,
and you can never have too many of those.
Did any of you see splitsee anywhere?
-[screaming] -[crash]
[growls]
-[squeaking and munching] -[screaming]
[ending theme playing] g] -[screaming]
