[eerie music playing]
Aw, furballs, where'd I put it?
Oh! Hey, iBall.
Time for my monster minute-- Well, monster 30 seconds,
because things have been hairy since the Blood Moon eclipse.
[card growling]
Spent most of the semester break with Mom.
Having her back is everything I wanted all those years.
You are adjusting to this dimension way faster than I did, Mamá.
It's so good to be home.
Already, Beheme and our pest control business there
feel so far away.
-[door opening] -Splitsee attack!
[thudding]
You're right.
I should have added more marshmallows to the cocoa.
-Ah! -[glass shattering]
[Clawdeen] Plus, I've had my paws full
trying to tell the monster world
about the shocking truth we discovered.
Humans are monsters!
See, there are the six original monster types we all know...
were-creatures, vampires, mummies, frankens,
sea monsters, gorgons.
But humans were one of the original monster types too.
So what? Even if humans were monsters long ago,
now we don't get along with them. They're icky.
Ugh! No offense, Clawdeen.
They live in the human world, and we live here,
and everybody's happy.
[Clawdeen] And then there's the big thing.
Since I defeated Mrs. Stripe,
turns out I'm now the Were-Ruler
of the Alliance of Were-Species!
The great thing is, as Were-Ruler,
I can make a difference.
At least I think I can.
No one's told me what a Were-Ruler does,
but I'm about to find out.
[Bearon] I present Her Most Furry Majesty,
leader of all were-creatures, the Were-Ruler
of the Alliance of Were-Species,
Clawdeen Wolf!
[groans]
[crowd gasping]
That's my baby!
[cheering and howling]
Yeah! Attagirl!
Okay. I'm gonna make a difference.
Gonna make a difference.
[toilet flushing]
Oh, uh, Your Rulership, the hydrant in there is busted.
We're going to have to put in a work order.
Uh, yeah, my first task, great.
Uh, two questions-- one, how do I do that?
And two, who are you?
Oh, forgetful me.
I am Foxford, assistant to the Were-Ruler.
An assistant, nice!
Um, can you assist me
in knowing what I'm supposed to do?
I have your sovereign schedule laid out.
First, paw print here, please.
[electronic chime]
Keys?
The ruler's keys.
You need to keep those on you at all times.
-[grunting] -And don't lose them.
-Getting gilded keys recut... -[thudding]
-...is a hassle. -[door bangs open]
Clawdeen Wolf, I challenge you to combat
for possession of the were-throne!
Romulus, I'm not fighting you.
Then prepare to be defeated.
Ahh... [groaning]
[thudding]
I'm okay!
And I will be back to claim the throne
just as soon as I get an ice pack!
[chuckles] That sort of thing happens,
uh, well, fairly often--
one of the perks of power.
Let's get started on the duties of rulership.
Uh, sorry, I can't right now. I gotta get to school.
-It's the first night of the semester. -Very well.
Education is a-- [gasps] No!
You can't remove your crown on the night of the coronation. It is a were-custom.
Oh, uh, didn't realize that. Clawsome.
I'll just keep this bad boy right here.
[buzzing]
Same school, new semester, extra excitement.
The clawculator my mom got me is X equals voltageous!
And our new classes are gonna be shocking.
But I'm most excited about first night back zapaccinos
with Clawdeen and Draculaura--
first-night-back-accinos!
Loving the volty vibes, Frankie,
but ever think about how over the break
Draculaura went to Craft Camp
and Clawdeen became the Were-Ruler?
Yep. Think about it a lot.
Wait, you're thinking about it too?
We are so in sync.
I just don't want you going to pieces
if Draculaura and Clawdeen
don't have as much time to spend.
Oh, Cleo! You don't understand the nuts and bolts
of the boo crew friendship.
It comes easier than assembling a monster
out of slightly used people parts.
[whooshing]
[gasps]
[dramatic music]
Draculaura, I know witchcraft is allowed now
based on our agreement, but extreme showing off
is still frowned upon at Monster High.
Sorry, Headmistress Bloodgood.
-Frankie! -Draculaura!
-Frankie! Draculaura! -[both] Clawdeen!
[all squealing]
[laughter]
[grunting]
Uh, do you want us to come to you?
[Clawdeen] Oh, no, no. It's all good.
This Were-Ruler stuff's just a little bit heavy.
[all cheering, laughing]
Oh, I missed you both so much. Draculaura, how was camp?
Fangtastic! I mastered alchemy, manifestation,
and making houses out of gingerbread.
Frankie, how was Spookyland with Cleo?
-It was so vol-- -[bell chiming]
-[screaming] -Oh, there's the bell.
Let's catch up on the way to Ms. Ziz's class.
Oh, I have Mrs. O'Shriek first period.
Uh, you mean Mr. Mothmanson?
Uh, this has to be a mistake.
Mm, I guess we got busy and forgot
to do our class sign-ups together.
Zaps. But we're still on for first-night-back-accinos,
-right? -[screaming]
Oh, no! [screaming]
-Good hustle, Deuce. -[screaming]
Bad hustle, Deuce.
Dude, again? Not cool!
Ahh!
-[grunts] -Boo crew to the rescue.
-[growling] -Um, Clawdeen?
[grunts] I'm coming. All right.
Hard to spring into action with all this...
-[clanking] -...stuff.
Okay. [grunting]
Almost halfway. [grunts]
[thudding]
Your rulership, a dispute needs
your immediate attention.
I'm kind of in the middle of an epic battle here, Foxford.
Clawdeen, don't worry about it.
We can handle this.
Only you can do Were-Ruler stuff.
-Go be regal. -Yeah!
You rule!
We'll meet up for first-night-back-accinos later.
All right, no big deal.
Just got to juggle school, friends,
and running the entire were-world.
-Your agenda. -Great.
Let's show 'em what I got.
[dramatic music]
[chuckling]

I have a problem!
But my problem is way more of a problem.
-[both snarling] -Well, lucky for you,
I'm getting this Were-Ruler stuff down.
I'm stronger, smarter, and here to make a difference.
Just one sec.
Foxford with the assist?
Whiskerene and Whiskerbeth are the mayors
of West Furham and East Furham.
[both] And they stole our statue!
How dare you blame us Westies for what is
obviously the action of some mutt from East Furham.
[gasps] Mutt? I'm aghast. Aghast!
It was probably one of those purebred werewolves
in West Furham who took it.
Oh, say that to my fangs!
[thudding, grunting]
The statue of which they speak
marked the boundary between East and West Furham.
All right. Uh, seems to me that we need a--
Can we take a minute to-- break it up!
Your Were-Ruler commands-- oh, goodness growl-cious.
Hey, stop. Stop! Stop!
[sighs] Thank you.
So it seems like we just need to replace the statue.
[gasps] The statue is irreplaceable!
And you knew that when you stole it.
[thudding, snarling]
Hey, hey, come on.
Your rulership, might I see you under the desk?
This is bad, right?
The entire were-world is split down the middle
on the Furham issue.
And due to a series of treaties,
if the Furhams are further divided,
the entire Alliance of Were-Species
will be, well, unallied.
The alliance would fall apart on my watch?
Oh!
Hey, hey, enough of that.
Battling is no way to solve an argument.
Is she serious?
I was never a Catarina supporter, but come on.
Uh, Your Highness, battling is the way to solve an argument,
the were-way. You won the crown by defeating Catarina
in a battle, remember?
Your hat, Whiskerene.
Your hair, Whiskerbeth.
[both] What's your solution, Were-Ruler?
Um, I think you should come together.
Maybe instead of East and West, just be Furham.
Huh, wonderful idea. Then I'll be the mayor of all of Furham.
-[chuckles] Prepare to get conquered. -Not so fast.
We'll have a proper battle, which I'll win.
Then all your citizens will be my citizens.
Oh, thank you for your vicious ruling, Were-Ruler.
I look forward to following in your pawsteps
and solving my disputes with violence.
The battle will commence tomorrow at midnight.
No, no, no, no. There's not going to be any battling.
-I'll figure this out. -Huh. I have to say,
I am interested in seeing what you come up with.
[chuckles] Yes. This ought to be hilarious.
You have until tomorrow at midnight,
or else Whiskerene and West Furham is going down.
In your dreams. Westie is the bestie.
It was a nice idea to unify East and West Furham--
-simple, but nice. -[toilet flushing]
You know that hydrant's broken?
Yes, Romulus. We're on it.
Good, because Clawdeen Wolf,
I challenge you to combat
for possession of the were-throne!
[eerie music]
[growling, gasps]
[grunting]
Did I mention that hydrant's leaking?
I'm working on it. Romulus, I don't have time for combat.
The world is on the brink of collapse,
and Monster High was severely lacking
in the Intro to Were-Ruling classes.
May I suggest you consult the ruler's library?
It has the world's largest collection
of books on were-history, genealogy, rulers' diaries--
at least I think it does.
Only the ruler is allowed inside.
[grunts] Which key is it?
Sorry, but the assistant isn't allowed to use the keys.
[grunts] Right.
Hmm.
-[grunts] Ahh! -[keys jangling]
Double zap for Frankie, easy on the volt foam for Clawdeen.
They should be here any minute.
[tense music]
Hey, Draculaura. Back-to-school lawn howling game in five.
-You in? -Thanks for the invite...
-[phone vibrates] -...but me and my Craft Camp friends
are going to be doing some remote conjuring.
-Bye! -Your loss.
Snakes ya later!
[growling]
Whoa!
Oh, zaps! I lost track of time electrifying my skates
and must have missed my boo crew. Aw.
Hey, skates! I'm trying to sadly walk away here!
Okay, I've read everything in the ruler's library
on East and West Furham, and I think you two
are more alike than you realize.
[both] Hmph!
You just need to get to know each other.
What's your favorite thing to do?
[both] Fight.
Hey, stop copying me.
You stop copying me.
[both snarling]
Ah!
Here's a little art therapy to help you two see the good in each other.
I want you two to paint on these Dorian Gray-scales.
See, here's a painting I did of Foxford.
-And if I add a scepter... -Oh, wonderful.
What should we paint?
Each other!
With these scales, whatever you paint
is reflected on the other.
So you need to make each other look the best you can.
Very good, Whiskerbeth.
I like how you captured Whiskerene's
bloodthirsty snarl.
Sorry. That was an accident.
[chuckles] Oopsie-poopsie!
[growls]
Okay, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop.
This is all just the tail wagging the dog.
None of this changes the fact that they stole our statue.
East Furham is obviously not in capable paws,
and the battle will prove who should be in charge.
Ah, see, this is what I've been saying from the beginning.
And once all your Westie friends are under my command,
I'll get them in line. Battle at midnight!
No, no. These were just, um, tests.
I'm going to announce the real solution at Furball Hall tonight.
Come on, Foxford.
Actually, I should clean up in here.
Mrs. O'Shriek's a bit of a yeller.
So you two go ahead.
Mom? What's all this?
Oh, I was just testing the new equipment.
You'll need to train so you can win any battle
and remain Were-Ruler.
Here, get some reps in.
[grunts]
Hey, maybe you can fight me, you win,
and then you're the Were-Ruler again like you're supposed to be.
Clawdeen, there is no dimension
in which I'm going to battle you.
I respect that fate has put this in your claws.
-But if you need advice-- -Yes!
There's this dispute, East and West Furham.
And somehow I gave them the idea that one of them
should take over the other.
If I don't do something,
the whole were-world
is going to start fighting, and the alliance will be kaput.
[grunts]
And why is that a problem?
Because everyone's going to get pulled into
and maybe hurt by this beef
between Whiskerene and Whiskerbeth.
And you care about them, all these werewolves, werecats,
werefoxes you've never even met?
Yeah, of course. I'm their leader.
[soft music]
It's a funny thing, but I think
your love for your fellow monsters
is your humanity shining through.
And I always thought that were-society
had things to learn from humans.
So, trust your human instincts and lead.
[howling in distance]
-[Draculaura] Clawdeen. -Hi.
We got your text.
I'm over my head.
And according to my human instincts,
I really need my boo crew.
Oh, me too.
I know you both got exciting afterlives,
but I need boo crew time.
Oh, me three!
Let's never be too busy for each other ever again.
[knocking]
-Toralei! You made it! -Cat-solutely.
I haven't seen you fur-ever!
You have to thank your parents again for letting me stay.
-Hi! -Hi!
Hey!
If I'd have known you were having a party,
I'd have shown up late.
I need your help with a decision I have to make.
It was very smart of you to ask for my expert opinion,
but why are you bringing in other monsters?
Multiple points of view. Other monsters will bring in an outside perspective.
Hey, can we have Spooker Eats bring some dinner?
I mean, we can't change society on an empty stomach.
-Sure! What should we get? -Stir-fried mice.
Bonearoni pizza!
-[hissing] -[growling]
Hey, no fighting!
You know what? Let's just vote on dinner.
All in favor of pizza?
Yeah!
Ugh! I accept pizza's popularity,
but can we at least get one with anchovies?
[Romulus] Deal.
Whiskerene, Whiskerbeth, I'm ready to announce my ruling.
Go ahead. I can sharpen my claws while you talk.
[bell dinging]
This is a really complicated problem,
and there's no way I'm going to come up
with the right solution overnight.
I mean, I've never even been to East or West Furham.
Ha! I knew it! Battle time.
[clears throat] I'm not done.
What I know is that I'm not the one
who should make the decision about what happens to Furham.
The way we're going to solve this dispute
is to ask East and West Furham what they want to do.
Hello? I'm East Furham, and I've been very clear
that what I want to do is take over.
You need to work on your listening skills.
I mean we'll ask the citizens of East and West Furham.
No battling. We're going to have a vote.
-[both gasping] -[buzzer blares]
I'm sorry. Did you just say a vote?
[laughs] Oh.
Oh, look, I know you're new here,
but that's not the way things are done in the were-world.
Yeah, I have a plan for that too.
Foxford, can you hit the red button?
[dramatic music]
Attention, Alliance of Were-Species.
I would like to announce my resignation.
In six months, I will step down as Were-Ruler.
It's not that I don't want to be Were-Ruler.
It's that I don't want to be Were-Ruler
because I won some fight.
So I'm enacting my first
were-society-wide law.
The Were-Ruler will be chosen
democratically by vote.
This is the difference I want to make for our society.
And I figured I had to do it before someone
beats me in combat and I can't make any rules.
So we're having an election.
And if you're not into that, then I guess
you can vote in someone who will change it back
to the old combat model.
But at least then you get to have a say in your own lives.
Now, that's thinking like a human.
[Clawdeen] That's it. Thanks for listening.
A purr-fect solution.
[chuckles]
Oh, well. If there's going to be a vote for Were-Ruler,
I guess we can have a vote in Furham too.
She put us on blast on the internet.
The citizens of East Furham would get their tails in a knot if I refused.
They're very easily persuaded by EekTok videos.
Hmm, same in West Furham.
[both] We agree to this plan. Goodbye, Were-Ruler.
Come on, Foxford. We have more changes to make.
Until the vote, I want to focus on learning more
about were-society, understanding
the community the Were-Ruler is supposed to represent.
But there's a lot of stuff on your agenda,
and that all should be done by someone who knows how to do it.
Wait, you want me to do it?
Yeah. I'm an iCoffin call away if you need anything.
-But I trust you to handle all the day-to-day. -Oh!
What an honor. I will not let you down.
-Your rulership, I have the tools. -Bearon!
Right on time. Bearon's going to fix the hydrant.
-Excellent problem-solving. -Now I got to get to school.
Peace out, were-scout!
[upbeat music]
Whoo-hoo-hoo! Finally,
our first-night-back-accinos.
Boo crew reunited!
And thanks to a little help from Headmistress Bloodgood,
our schedules are back in perfect alignment.
Now we're ready to take on a new semester at Monster High.
-To the boo crew! -[Draculaura] And to the election.
[slurping] An election? How electrifying!
[gasps] Are you going to run? Oh, are you going to win?
Actually, I'm hoping my mom will run.
Then she can be Were-Ruler again without having to fight anyone,
and I can still be involved, but also have time for school and my boo crew.
I'm sure your mom will win if that's the competition.
[growls] Clawdeen Wolf did not have the courage to face me in combat.
That is why I should be the Were-Ruler.
Werewolves and werecats get all the attention,
but I'm the only candidate who represents were-skunks.
Hey, this is my section, Teez.
I signed up for it fair and square.
I don't recognize your jurisdiction.
[both growling]
What have I done?
[soft music]
Oh, Whaley.
That didn't at all work as I'd expected.
I thought I would have to trick Clawdeen, sneak around,
keep her distracted, and send her
on the annoying little quests to wear her down, but no.
And then I thought that surely stealing the statue
so that East and West Furham would bring the alliance down,
would send her running away howling and crying.
But Clawdeen's unusual, a rebel.
-She gave me these. -[keys jangling]
Now watch this, my little lovey.
We have access to all the records in the library now.
Soon I'll know.
[grunts] Soon I'll have control.
Oh, wrong key. I really should label these.
[spooky music playing] should label these.
