Back in the monster dimension, Penny was analyzing the evidence she got and with the AIs help. Everyone else was learning and helping out with the village. Nick had just come back from the mines, with dirt and mud all over him.

Nick: Hey guys.

Rumi: Hey Nick, catching a break from the mines?

Nick: Yeah, -stretches- we are taking a break from getting out the tin, copper and silver, there was a lot of it though. How are things going here?

Penny: The analysis is finishing in a few minutes.

Nick: I'll grab a shower and come back.

Nick went to take a shower but Cinde knocked on the building gently when Nick was done showering.

Nick: Who is it?

Cinde: It's Cinde.

Nick: What's up?

Cinde: How are you able to do all of this, despite your size?

Nick: It's how you tackle each problem.

Cinde: This might sound offensive coming from me but...

Nick: You can say it.

Cinde: I always thought you humans didn't have anything special about you, your small, weak and other things but you keep proving us wrong.

Nick: It happens all the time, sometimes we think the same way back on our earth.

Cinde: Well, I think we would get along fine.

Nick: Yeah, I think so too.

Once Nick gets dressed he came back down and Penny finished analyzing the evidence.

Penny: Ok, it's done; let's see what we got here.

Penny brought the results up on a holographic screen.

Penny: Well this is a new one.

Nick: What is it?

Penny: We found some tissue in the Victim's nails and we thought it would belong to the murderer, in which it was but this is not any monster we know.

Rumi: How can you tell?

Penny: I asked the monsters here to give blood samples to figure out what kind of monster it is that killed the dryad but this is saying that it is not what we have.

Nick: Then what?

Penny: Wait a minute; let me break down the sample I got to a genetic base.

Penny does some adjustments and the genetic strand of the tissue shows up.

Cinde: What exactly is that?

Penny: That is the basic building block of all of us. It says how we are built and what we are but something is odd here. Some of the attributes match up to some of the samples I collected.

Cyber: Match up the samples we have against it.

Penny does some more adjustments and brings up all of the genetic builds of all the monsters they collected.

Penny: Ok everyone; find the same or similar piece to what we have against that.

Everyone was looking at the strands and pointing out similar pieces.

Neko: The third from the left on this one.

Penny: Yeah, that is matching.

AI: fifth on this one.

Penny: Got it.

Once they were done, Cyber confirmed the strands to be the same.

Cyber: Confirmed, they are the exact same.

Penny: By how much?

Cyber: Over 80%.

Penny and Nick look at each other.

Penny: That could only mean one thing.

Nick: What?

Penny: Someone or something, is experimenting with combining monsters and making them a kind of monster we call Frankenstein.

Cinde: What is Frankenstein exactly?

Nick: Frankenstein is a kind of monster that was brought to life by a mad scientist but not like the ones we have back home, this scientist used deceased peoples' body parts to build his creation and used a thunderstorm to get it going.

Rumi: Did it work?

Nick: Who knows but looks like this person found some way to do it.

Human: What brought you to that analysis?

Penny: Think about it, they don't use technology here like we do and there isn't much on the board left that requires hearts other than someone or something that eats hearts like that unless they were that insane.

Werewolf: Wait a minute that would line up with some robberies we had some time ago.

Penny: What was taken?

Werewolf: Some graves were disturbed and bodies were stolen, we caught a scent but it was moving way too fast to keep up, even in wolf form.

Cyber: There is still one thing wrong though, what kind of tech is this person using to do this?

The Dragon King comes in.

Dragon King: What if it is not technology, what if it is magic.

Penny: That is one possibility, since we are in a world of unexplained science they could be using something similar to have the same effects.

Just then they heard a howl outside.

Werewolf: Uh oh.

Dragon King: What is it?

Werewolf: They were trying again but the pack is stationed in the forest keeping track since I am here, no one was harmed but they are in pursuit heading south!

Human: If we leave now we can intercept it and see what is really going on.

Dragon King: Get on me; we can get there faster from the air.

Werewolf: I will keep to the ground and you can get where it is.

Dragon King: Let's go.

The Dragon King, Cinde and Rumi transformed and let Penny, Cyber and Nick get on.

Penny: Anyone got anything that could knock out that thing?

Dragon: Here, take this, it makes a mist that knocks out anything.

Penny takes the bottle and they leave quickly with the wolf on the ground tracking the action. A couple of minutes later they caught up to the pack and the monster.

Penny: There it is!

Cyber: We have to corner it!

Nick: We need to get it into a clearing where it can't escape.

Cyber: Tell the wolves to herd it to one.

The Dragon King roars and it tells the wolves to get the monster to a clearing. Since they know the forest well and are great at herding prey into a corner they knew where a clearing was and were getting it there.

Penny: Cyber, start recording, if this thing gets away this might be our only chance to see it in action.

Cyber: Recording now.

The wolves were successful at getting it to a clearing and the dragons made a ring of fire on the ground to cage it. The monster stopped and turned around, Cinde, Rumi and the Dragon King touched down. When they looked at the monster it was the most horrifying thing the ever saw, different parts from different monsters sewed together and it was very nasty.

Nick: Well that just made the top ten of the most horrifying things I have ever seen!

Penny: What's at the top?

Nick: That!

Cyber: Penny, the bottle!

Penny threw the bottle near the monster and a mist formed around it. It was starting to get dizzy and fall asleep.

Penny: It's working!

Just then a portal opened out of nowhere and two other monsters like it came out, one had wings and it blew the mist away, they were trying to get the one that was gassed to safety. The dragon king blew a breath of fire to stop them but the other one blew a breath of fire as well. It bought them time to take it through and escape by the one blowing the breath backing away and jumping in at the last second. When they escaped, Penny, Cyber and Nick got off and the dragons switched to hybrid form.

Rumi: I think, I'm going to be sick.

Cinde: Really?

Rumi: Yup.

Rumi goes to the side and hurls. The dragon King uses his magic and stops the fire around him.

Dragon King: What were those abominations?

Penny: Frankensteins.

Nick: Please tell me you got that?

Cyber: Every second.

Penny: Whatever this person is doing they know how to do multiple of those monsters.

Cinde: Which means they could be trying to build an army of those things to combat all of us.

Penny: But one question still remains, how far did they get to build said army?

Dragon King: Who knows, we better get home and get ready for them.

Nick: One thing to do too, we need to learn magic if they can do all of that and more.

Dragon King: We need to learn from all angles to combat this problem.

Cyber: It might be tough building stuff using a blacksmith but it would be worth a shot.

Nick: We might need to update home base on this, we might need more backup.

Cyber: Bad idea, we might cause panic and disorder among all of the villages.

Rumi gets up from barfing and comes over.

Rumi: He right, everyone is already on edge about these murders, bringing them in would certainly tip them over that edge.

Penny: Then what?

Dragon King: We update them on the current events and see what information we can gather to combat and possibly end whoever is doing this.

Meanwhile at an unknown location the three monsters appeared, one of them was carrying the one that got gassed. A woman came to them and they bowed towards her.

Woman: What is the matter my pets, didn't you get anything today?

The monster that got gassed coughed up a puff of the mist.

Woman: Ah, they are catching onto our plans, no matter; when they fully realize our plans it will be too late.

They come close and she pets them.

Woman: Don't worry; we will have more chances to make more of your brothers and sisters.

The woman walks away and the monsters follow her to a castle with a thunderstorm all around it and it was in the eye of the storm. Looks like things are getting bad for each side of the board and it looks like everyone needs to work together to deal with each problem on each side of the board.
