[Bloodgood] Now, for the last act of our Monster Enemies
Through History class this semester,
please pass your textbooks to the front of the room.
[laughing]
Oh, it's been a joy to teach you all about how a spirit
of non-forgiveness has shaped the monster world.
From the centuries-old feud between Dracula
and Van Helsing to the ongoing animosity between Sea Monsters
and Fresh Water Monsters, every grudge shows us
the power of the Monster Way.
A's for everyone!
-What? -No way.
[Cleo] Yes! Thank Ra.
I am kidding.
[laughs] Oh!
[chuckles] A joke too far.
Tonight's Blood Moon Eclipse has me losing my head.
But giving out grades you didn't earn
would be against the rules. And I must uphold the rules.
So, I just want to say what a pleasure it's been to teach
such devoted, disciplined...
[wind blowing]
...Departed young monsters.
School's out.
[cheering]
Oh, tonight we bring Clawdeen's mom back
and I go to my first formal dance.
[electricity crackling] Zaparonis!
I can't believe it's already here.
I can.
The start of this semester
feels like an afterlife time ago.
Back then, I had a dorm to myself.
We're going to bring back my mom, right?
Yes. Everyone has their talismans,
we've practiced, we-- Whoa!
Guess what poltergeist slayed their hanutonomics final?
Booyah!
[laughs]
First up, maniclaws, then--
-Mama. -Oh, Toralei.
You found the Students of the Lunar Cycle wall.
Aren't I impressive?
Impressive would be you getting the Moon Claw,
since as were-ruler, that talisman should be mine.
Instead, you let that half-human keep it.
And she outperformed you to be top Student
of the Lunar Cycle.
Just once.
But remember, I got it six cycles in a row last year.
That's how humans work.
Give them a whisker, they take the whole kitty.
She's already changing this institution with her humanity.
I don't care who or what her parents are.
We're friends.
Her mother is my enemy, and thus,
my daughter is her enemy.
This is the wisdom of our kind, the true monster way.
Think about what kind of monster
you want to be, Toralei.
Now, I have business to attend to.
-[phone ringing] -What's this?
Hey, Squashies, Autumn Patch here.
Volume up.
You're about to get a sneak peek
of the spooky good time we'll have at the Monster Ball.

Mr. Mothmanson--
Not another word needed.
According to my... [flutters lips]
impeccable foresight ability...
Whoa!
The Monster Ball will now begin.
Have fun.
[dance music]
[gasps] Look at those talismans.
[talismans chiming]
Oh!
Ew, got stuck in a little goo here.
Oh, sorry.
Lagoona, that dress is fintastic.
Thank you, Gil.
I'm excited to dance,
but first I must see to my duty
as a talisman holder, which will take five, ten minutes, tops.
Lagoona, your presence is requested
-and you are RSVP-ing a "yes." -Yeah.
Before we follow Clawdeen into the catacombs to mess
with a power with the potential to destroy us,
the school, and everything we love, we're gonna get a pic.
Everybody say Blood Moon Eclipse.
[shutters whooshing]
Dad?
So, that was Clawdeen and Clawd.
Oh, and here's the head of the dance committee, Cleo De Nile.
You're live-streaming?
Yep.
Two million monsters are watching.
[Cleo] Two million?
Hello. Hi, hi, hello.
Did Autumn mention I am basically
Monster Ball royalty?
Hi. I'm Twyla.
Hi, I'm Autumn.
-You want an autograph? -No.
Well, maybe yes, later.
But I wondered if you had any more of those headphones?
I left mine at home and it's quite loud.
Yeah. I always have extras.
Can't hang out by speakers all night
without noise-canceling tech.
Thank you.
Now I can stay for the Ball.
Oh, dream-cheese puffs.
[Toralei] Clawdeen! Wait!
I was thinking I could offer
my services for the Eclipse.
Toralei, is this another scheme to get Clawdeen's Moon Claw?
Please, it doesn't even go with this outfit.
Any-meow, I could act as lookout,
in case anyone tried anything.
Um, well, maybe.
Seriously?
Clawdeen, did we risk fang and paw
to get mom's journal, just to ignore it?
Clawd's right. Only the talisman holders can be there.
It's what my mom's journal says, the way it's always been done.
Not even my dad and Clawd can come with us.
[scoffs] Doing things the way they've always been done?
Wow, Clawdeen, one semester here and you're
sounding like a full werewolf.
Thanks, I guess.
Well, gotta go.
I'm supposed to be here.
Humans don't belong in the Monster World.
It's our biggest rule.
Dad?
I brought cookies.
We got ya.
No humans at Monster High.
We've discussed this rule before.
This is an exception to the rule.
[gasps] You're strong, just like your mom.
Look at you.
Guess my sweetie pups has
grown up into a top dog.
Hardly, but you know what they say--
you only get one chance to make a first
impression with the mom you haven't seen in 10 years.
It's time.
[phone beeps]
Draculaura, gather the council.
During the Blood Moon Eclipse, the talismans
guide the wellspring of power.
Encircle the portal with the talismans
and instruct the power to go there.
You've read that part of your mom's journal
so many times, I have it memorized.
I don't know about the Founders,
but I know supernatural eye stuff,
and that means it's go time.
Wow.
Lunar Eclipses are a lot more impressive
in the Monster World.
Hey, no pickpocketing.
Don't keep cookies in your pocket
and expect it to be a secret.
So, Clawdeen calls when the portal is opened,
and we send this rodent back.
I'm sure everything's fine down there, right?
[all] Power of the wellspring, go to the portal.
Power of the wellspring, go to the portal.
Excuse me.
Pardon your shakiness, we have all six talismans.
Uh, I thought Dr. Blunder's brain bit said it would be
stable with all the talismans.
[Catarina] I told Clawdeen it would be unstable.
But humans never listen
Mrs. Stripe?
Toralei's mom?
What's she doing here?
Power of the wellspring, come to me.
What are you doing?
Did you think I'd let you bring back Selena Wolf?
After all I did to get her stuck in Beheme?
-[gasps] -It was the only way to stop her
from spreading her ideas
through our community.
She was undermining the very values that make us Monsters.
My mom never--
Now, I have to take drastic measures to save
Monsters from this corruption.
Clawdeen, the ritual.
I even became the world's foremost talisman expert
so I could learn how to make my own.
And now that you've unleashed the wellspring,
I finally have the power I need to make it work.
I call it the All-Monster Talisman--
and it will allow me to be the protector, defender,
ruler of All Monsters.
Oh, stealing the power to become ruler of all
monsters must have been the "disaster"
that Dr. Blunder's brain bit was going on about.
Hold her off.
I don't have long to open the portal.
Power of the wellspring, go to the portal!
Stay back, you villain.
Yeti power sure is cool.
[groaning]
Frankie, team-up time.
-Zaps on. -Golem forcefield.
-[electricity crackling] -[groans]
-[screams] -Frankie!
No one messes with my boo crew.
-[screams] -The banshee's wail!
Mom, no! Please!
Toralei?
Power of the wellspring, go to the portal.
-The portal-- -Mom?
You need the human talisman.
It's at home with Apollo.
[thud]
[all screaming]
[Catarina] Yeti power.
[gasps]
A Franken-monster zap.
[electricity crackling]
[all gasping]
And an onikuma throw!
Now, something I've always wanted to do--
Hades teleportation!
[students gasp]
[gasps] The exits!
We're trapped!
Mom!
[eerie music playing]
♪ ♪
[Cleo] No.
Mrs. Stripe stole all the power, shut the portal,
and trapped us here?
[groans] This is not how a mummy of my caliber
should be entombed.
I'm sorry about my mom.
You don't have to apologize, Toralei.
But I do.
I'm sorry I didn't let you come with us.
If the "monster way" doesn't welcome everyone,
it's not my way.
I should have accepted your help.
[thudding]
[growls]
Here, Frankie.
Aw, good ol' flesh and steel again.
[grunting]
I got this.
Power up and blast on.
[Draculaura] The talismans.
Wellspring of power dude, go open the portal, please.
No power and no way out.
Wait, Mrs. Stripe blocked the exits
for monsters, not witches.
Boo crew, gather in.
[whooshing]
[groans] Where's Mom?
I couldn't get her, but I saw her, and she said
there's a human talisman at our house.
The talismans are for monster types.
No way humans are a type of monster.
[echoing] ...Humans are a type of monster...
...Are a type of monster...
[electricity crackling]
Clawdeen, alert, breaking news.
[groans]
There's a human talisman because a human
was on the monster council that founded Monster High.
That means humans are a type of monster.
So us and humans, we're the same?
Cleo, is now really the time to be checking your EekTok?
How else would I know that Mrs. Stripe is live streaming
an Autumn Patch's EekTok?
She's at the ball and--
our ruler, Catarina Stripe--
[gasps]
Sorry for the soaking, but watching that video was bad.
Vampires can do this thing called glamour.
It's like hypnotizing someone with your voice.
I think that's what she's doing
with that All-Monster talisman.
She's hypnotizing our friends?
And the 2,129,384 monsters watching on EekTok.
With the human talisman, we'll have enough control
over the power to get it out of Mrs. Stripe.
But we have to do it before the end of the Eclipse.
We have to get Frankie to our house to find the talisman.
[whooshing]
Ah!
Clawd, enough hanging around, we have a talisman to find.
Hold the hot sauce.
Draculaura was the one doing witchcraft?
Isn't that against the rules?
Uh, it is.
And I'd appreciate it if you don't
tell Headmistress Bloodgood.
Ah!
Frankie, you going in?
That's the human talisman.
[groaning]
[thudding, yelling]
We will protect Monster High.
No one can come against our leader, Catarina Stripe.
We will protect--
-[water splashing] -[gasps] Hide!
Guys, in my locker.
We're not all gonna fit.
Oh my Ra, it is bigger than my walk-in closet in here.
Who did your construction?
We will protect Monster High.
Room for one more?
Twyla? Wait,
are you entranced? Who is your leader?
I didn't get hypnotized like them because Autumn Patch gave
me noise-canceling headphones.
They're gone.
Come on.
Autumn gave you those?
Can I see?
Cleo, focus on the problem not the celebrity accessories.
For your information, I was thinking
that if we can get those headphones,
we can enact the rest of Clawdeen's plan
without getting all hypnotized by Toralei's mom.
Now that you have all this covered,
I'm gonna go check on Dustin.
It is an honor to ascend from Were-Ruler
to ruler of all monsters.
I promise to preserve the monster way
and reverse the recent damage to Monster High-- admitting
Yetis and half-humans, allowing romances between enemies
like sea monsters and freshwater monsters,
even reports of witchcraft.
Disgraceful.
We will protect Monster High.
Oh!
Clawd.
[groans] Oh, I hate teleporting.
Just call me Frankie McFindy, the human talisman.
Clawd, I need--
I need you to stay with Dad, in case anything happens.
You got it.
Toralei, will you use this to help us?
You want me to have the were-creature talisman
after how I used to treat you?
Yeah, weren't you two, like, enemies before?
Guess I like to change things.
Thank you, Clawdeen,
for forgiving me, for believing in me.
Aw, adorable.
Attention!
Mummy mission success.
Ready boo crew?
[upbeat hip hop music]
Anyone who dishonors our past, breaks the rules,
or goes against our way will be thrown out
of the monster community by my bodyguard,
former Headmistress Bloodgood.
-Incoming! -[yells]
How dare you soak the ruler?
Oh, you really should not stand in the splash zone.
[yells]
[hisses]
[electricity crackling]
[ringing, whooshing]
Stop them, Bloodgood.
[yells]
Unhand-- unclaw me.
You'll thank me for this when you're back to yourself.
Power of the wellspring, leave her
and return where you belong.
[all] Power of the wellspring, leave her
and return where you belong.
[all] Power of the wellspring, leave her and...
-I'll do it myself. -...Return where you belong.
-[electricity crackling] -[grunting]
-[whooshing] -[belt cracks]
Aah! Ow!
Stone her, Deuce.
[laser whirring]
Watch out!
[yells]
[thud]
[grunting]
No matter what happens, just keep chanting.
Power of the wellspring--
Now, not another word out of you.
I hate how humans never listen.
You will succumb to my glamour power.
[laughs]
Humans never listen, not even to glamour power.
You try to divide us, but Monster High
is where we all belong.
And I will not be silenced.
Enough.
Soon humankind will be nothing more
than statues in my garden.
Starting with--
[whooshing]
What?
Dad?
No!
[whooshing]
Leave her and return where you belong.
[whooshing]
[screaming]
Why am I live-streaming?
We will protect Monster--
-Oh. -What happened?
How did we get here?
-We should go back. -No.
-Sweetie pups! -No, no!
I can create a spell.
But I need all your help.
Werecat whisker, mummy wrap magnetized by Franken-zap.
Vampire fang, sea monster fin, eye of Gorgon, human friend.
Bound together, powers mesh.
Cast off the rock, back to flesh.
[whooshing, tinkling]
Witchcraft?
[gasps]
Yes, she's fleshy.
[squealing]
The eclipse.
We still have time to retrieve your mama.
No one makes my dad disappear and...
Oh.
You good?
Yep, now to open the portal.
Clawdeen, wait. Here.
-You don't want it? -I do.
I really do.
But I guess you inspired me to try something new.
That power's not for me.
I need to help my mum.
I hope you save yours.
[all] Power of the wellspring, go to the portal.
Power of the wellspring, go to the portal.
[humming, whooshing]
-[gasps] Mom! -Mama!
Selena.
My loves.
Bye, kids!
[upbeat instrumental music]
Oh, yeah, Mom's the were-ruler.
No, you defeated Catarina.
So now, you are the ruler.
I'm the were-ruler?
-Congratulations, Clawdeen. -Whoo-hoo!
-[cheering] -Yeah!
Ooh, yeah!
[Stef Fink & Music Box, "This Monster Life"]
I noticed you looking at Twyla.
Oh, is it that obvious?
I want to ask her to dance, but my heart goes thump-thump
and my hooves shake and getting to her is harder than any maze
I've ever tried.
A few deep meditative breaths always helps me.
Here, breathe in.
Yes.
This whole semester, you were the one practicing witchcraft?
Yes.
And I know you have to expel me.
You saved me, Clawdeen, the school.
I'll make an exception to the rule.
We don't want exceptions.
Yeah, the dance committee queen demands real change.
I'll do my best.
You have my word.

[Clawdeen] This semester was clawsome.
Not to brag, but I got into Monster High,
found my boo crew, and passed all my classes.
Plus, I got a bling upgrade.
But still, I have a lot to learn.
Like what am I going to do with this were-ruler thing,
what does it even mean that humans are a type of monster,
how to deal with my family doubling in size,
and how to be there for Toralei
while she's dealing with the fallout.
Clawdeen, dinner time.
And I guess I don't need to do this,
since Mrs. O'Shriek's Monster Minute assignment is over.
But talking to you helps me sort through it all.
So, I think I'll keep it up.
See you soon, iBall.
[laughs]
Me?
In the human world?
I can't believe Headmistress Bloodgood agreed to this.
