He yells out for the women but doesnt here a response and he keeps yelling for her and yelling but there's no response. The fire is gone and the door shuts itself and locks. Bishop runs to open the door but cant. Bishop then hears laughter coming from all over the house. Bishop starts walk towards the kitchen of the house to investigate. Whose there? Then he calls out for the women again while walking to the kitchen. Bishop steps foot in the kitchen and he sees the backdoor is open and a strong wind is being let in. Bishop turns around and he sees his wife and he ask her what she's doing here. His wife has a knife being her back. She replies you called me. He tells her no I didn't. She replies yes you did check your phone. Bishop turns around to check his phone and he sees in the reflection of the toaster that his wife is about to stab him with a knife and he dodges it. Bishop ask his wife what are you doing kim?

His wife transforms back into his original form.

Bishop goes Oh no. How did you get out you was in Transylvania.

The Man laughs and tells Bishop he's touched that he remembers him. Everyone else forgot. But after tonight they'll remember.

Bishop looks to his left and another knife floats in mid air and stabs Bishop in the hand.

Bishop wakes Up Screaming. His Wife jumps up out of bed scared as there is blood everywhere from Bishops hand. Bishop tells his wife he's out. He's escaped Transylvania and his wife runs into grabs some tissue and runs back into the bedroom and starts wiping Bishop hand. He's back Kim. He's Back. He's out of Transylvania

The cause of death is in their sleep.

His wife says omg as Bishop takes the remote and turns off the TV.

He grabs the phone and tells Melvin what just happened with him.

Melvin tells Bishop he better get down to the police station and fast.

Alright I'm on my way. said Bishop

Bishop's wife receives a phone call she has to get down to the hospital there is alot of people injured and in critical condition.

... Selena's home...

Xan starring at the piece of paper he took from the notebook. He starts to Reading it and finds something very interesting. Selena walks in the room with files.

What are you doing with all those files? ask Xan

I'm looking into the men in suits that took neil all those years ago. Selena's replies

You've been looking at those files for 10 years selena and you've found nothing. Xan replies.

Xan puts the piece of paper in his pocket

Selena sits the files on the table and tells Xan

These men in suits have Showed up on Different occasions.

Their First encounter was with Harold Dahl in 1947

The Second encounter was with Robert Richardson in 1967

The Third was Jack Robinson in 1968

The fourth encounter was Dr. Frost in 1976

Then It was with neil and me in that factory ten years ago.

According to this article Dr. frost has a grandson that doesnt live too far from us.

Maybe he'll know something about the men in suits. Which may give us some leads.

Why didn't you figure this out ten years ago?

Because I was a frightened little child.

I'm 17 now Xan. I can handle more now then I could have back then.

Let's go.

Alright then. xan replies

... At the police station.....

Bishop! Bishop! What is it? The mayor is in your office. He's Mad Bishop.

You better get in there.

Okay. Hands him the book.Give this to danny tell him to get the special force team geared up and ready and tell him to put UV Nitrate rounds in their guns. one shot of this and that bastard will be weakened and we can arrest him. Tell the rest of them to gear up to.

Yeah no problem I'm on it Bishop.

Thanks Melvin.

Bishop walks into his office and shuts the door.

Mr. Mayor good to see you.

How did he get out Bishop?

We dont know. replies Bishop.

You assured me he was in Transylvania for good. That he was not going to get out.

I know. The prisons are designed to hold Each prisoner different.

WELL APPARENTLY NOT BECAUSE I HAVE 50 PEOPLE DEAD AND 120 INJURIED FROM THIS THING BEING LET LOOSE. THE ONE CREATURE THAT WAS NEVER TO BE LET LOOSE IS LOOSE ON MONROE. The mayor says yelling at Bishop

Mr. Mayor calm down. I've assembled the strike force we are going to stop him.

Yeah how?

All of a sudden, There is a loud howl inside the police department.

One of the Cops yells WEREWOLVES

Bishop tells the mayor to stay here.

Bishop takes out out his gun and loads it with Silver bullets.

Then Heads outside the office and tells the cops to use silver bullets take them down but dont kill them. Then bishops starts Letting off rounds from his gun. The strike team comes from the back along with melvin and stars letting off rounds .Some of the cops that are bitten and starts to transform halfway. Half man and wolf and stars attacking the other cops.

Jace tells Bishop it's too many of them.

Hold your ground! Bishop tells the cops.

The lights in the police station goes out.

Then the cops hear heavy dark murderous breathing

The strike force puts on there night vision goggles.

They see circle Throwing stars being

thrown at Multiple Werewolves taking them down. They also see a powered electric like rope fired and wrapped around the wolves and shocks them as they pass out howling in pain. Bishop ask them what the hell is going on?

Then more circle shaped throwing star and syringes that are fired right into the wolves and then the lights are back on and all the wolves are back into human form and knocked out.

Bishop Ask them what the hell happened.?

Someone one took them all down from the shadows.

Jace walks forward and picks up one of the Throwing star objects.

What the hell are these? danny ask

Idk but whoever it was thank god.

Or what it was danny adds.

Jace picks up one of the object and walks to Bishop and tells him to look at this.

Bishop hold the object in his hand. It's a circle like throwing star with a button in the middle once pressed sharp edge razers come out on the four end sides. The throwing stars floats up and the top circle part lefts up and scans Bishop and the area then the top part goes back down together with the bottom and they fly out. Almost like there where bening summoned back to the owner.

Bishop And the other cops look on ahead at the throwing stars leave in amazement.

Bishop okay folks shows over. I want you to take the Werewolves and the cops that have been turned and get them ready for Transylvania.

Then the mayor screams from the office and Bishop runs in and he sees a werewolf has him and jumps out the window with the mayor.

..... Selena and Xan arrives at Dr.Frost grandson house....

Knocking on the door.

A Man comes to the door.

He's white stands about 6'0. His hair is a mess.

He has on a white t shirt with blue jeans.

Hey I'm Selena Pryce and this my uncle xan.

We like to ask you a few questions about the men in suits.

The man shuts his door quick and tells Selena to go away.

Selena tells the man it's important that these men in suits took her brother.

The man slowly opens his door and he looks at Selena and be says you too huh.

Selena ask him what does he means by yours too. The man opens his door to Selena and Xan.

They walk and the man shuts it. He tells them to follow him. They walk down into a basement where its walls filled with. newspaper photos of missing children and of everywhere the men in suits been. The man starts to explain to Selena that men that took her brother are the same men that took his. He ask her where was her brother taken at? She tells him at the old factory that use to be ranned by simmers. He replies

Oh I read about that. That was a horrible thing you went through but I heard you was the only survivor. She tells him no her Brother had survived too. He was taken by the men in suits before the cops came there to rescue him.

The man ask her was he the oldest out of the two. She replies yes. The man smiles and he tells her that the men in suits always takes the first born of every monster hunter child . That the men in suits take them and train them into the greatest monster hunters who ever lived but he believes only few or just 1 survived the training. He Goes on to explain that the men in suits training was so intense and brutal that the one could ascend pass the conditions of the human peek performance into a new one. This would put extreme stress on the body and heart which is why they teach alot of techniques and methods for the children to learn to keep them from dying but it doesn't always work. They also teach them to outsmart the enemy. Telling her she just doesn't know how smart and capable they become. They are able to craft weapons and form things that's ahead of science and chemist for years to come. All while having the skills of the greatest techniques and marital arts in the world. The down part is these kids are trained at a young age to become killers of anything that's a monster. They are trained in the shadows to hunt the monsters at their own game. The children are said to be far above that of silence and sneaking than any assassin could do. Because even the monster cant see or hear them in the dark. They become the predator of predators. Something truly worth fearing .He tells her he knows all this because Wright his brother use to write him letters about it all but then it stopped 3 years ago.Which he came to the conclusion his brother had died. Then he shows them pictures on the wall where there have been many monsters taking down by a unknown man. He tells them that the only witness that has seen the man describes him wearing a black anubis like cowl with black gloves and black boots and a tight sixpack body suit. That the man said he fired syringes from the shadows along with throwing circle stars that scanned and followed the monsters. That the monsters themselves looked shook with fear. That the man took down 4 vampires all from the shadows. What's really weird if you ask me is how come the vampires didnt catch him.? He says looking at Selena because they couldn't see him in the dark. But How that's impossible I thought only a flash bang could blind vampires. Said Selena

The man response it must be something he designed in his suit something that keeps monsters from seeing him. He goes into explaining about the men in suits and

That this vigilante was trained by the men in suits. The monster told the cops who came to get him that there was something out there even worse then him. The cops called him The jackal.

I also believe that he's the one who provided the police 5 years ago with the blueprints to build Transylvania and with the training and the knowledge and the skills. The jackal is behind all of it I know he is. I just cant prove it

Your wondering why you never heard if him. That because he only comes out on rare occasions not all the time and I think the reason behind that is because he leaves. He leaves because I believe he's hunting something much more dangerous than any creature that's in Monroe but not anymore I believe he's back in monroe because that creature is on it's way here shortly and I believe he's been getting this city ready for when that creature comes. The reason being when that creature comes it will be nothing like they've ever faced before. He tells Selena it will be the greatest monster hunter vs the greatest vampire. The first born. He believes dracula is coming to monroe.

Xan tells him that he's talking alot of craziness that world mean that Ms.Pryce and Mr.Pryce parents where monster hunters. The man laughs and goes I know. Selena tells Xan to calm down and she ask him even if that was true she's never seen any proof of her parents being monsters hunters. The man replied if they where trained by the men in suits of course you wouldn't. Then the man goes to the wall and pulls off some of the papers to reveal Four pictures Two keys that look almost ancient like, A circle like object and The last picture opens Xan's eyes all then way it's a picture of his kind. Xan Head starts to ringing and he starts holding it.

.... At Cottonmouth place....

Well, Looks like you've been busy. So what you say we get on with the plan.

Have patience Cottonmouth You'll get your wish for freeing me from Transylvania. I will kill Eve and Mave for you but first must come Bishop. He must pay for sending to Transylvania. said the dream walker

I see that Bishop has put the city on 24 hour lockdown and he's all the citizens go into Romaina. The safe place that was built for if you ever break out I here people there don't dream. said cottonmouth

That's okay cause I have a plan for all that.

When it is done. Then I'll reward you for breaking me free until then cottonmouth dont go to sleep. said The dream walker

I wouldn't dream of it. said cottonmouth

... Back at the police station.....

Bishop are you okay? ask Melvin

Kim was suppose to call me when she got to the hospital I haven't heard anything from her.

She's probably very busy you its alot going on. Replies Melvin.

Yeah your probably right. Right now we have to figure out what the Werewolves where doing on this part of town?

Yeah ik Looks Like Donnie can't keep his pack in check no more. The More important thing is who was the mystery man that took down all those werewolves from the shadows with ease. said Melvin.

Idk but he's a vigilante whose taking the law into his own hands and it's not safe he could be seriously injured or worse turned or even killed. said Bishop.

The guy just took down half a room of Werewolves by himself not even the strike force could take on a room of Werewolves by they self Bishop.

Jace comes into the room and tells Bishop that he should get out here. The TV is on and it's the dream walker. Tonight Detective Bishop your going to have to make a choice.

You see i know your moving civilians into Romanian to keep them safe from me. But what you dont know is There's a man inside Romania with a sleep serum that's on my team. He's a thrall of mine. Then You have me. Take a look. Does that look familiar Bishop I'm at the hospital with yours truly. Bishop's wife and all the elderly and sick people and children are there at the hospital and looks like they are falling asleep thanks to my little sleep serum here. You going to have to make a choice because somebodies going to sleep and never waking up again. you have 15 minutes to decide which one your going to save.

A man in a trenchcoat and fedora enters the room. Jace and the rest points there guns at him and tells him not to move. The man tells Bishop while this is a touching welcome that he better tell his men to drop the weapons or he'll drop them here and now.

Bishop tells them its okay he's help him catch The dream Walker in the pass.

Danny tells Bishop here there was a note left in Melvin desk. Bishop tells him just like old times right James.

The man in the trench coat response yeah From our mutual friend.

Bishop looks back

James tells him it's a waste your never see him

Bishop. He's evaded us for years but he stills help.

I'm thankful for all he has done. said Bishop

James take a look at this. said melvin handing him the bag with one of the throwing knives used earlier from the unknown man.

We going to take it to the lab dust it for prints. said Danny

You wont find any prints on this said james.

I've only seen this weapon once. I was on a hunt. I was tracking down a very old vampire ???one like nothing I've ever seen before. I Finally tracked it down into a small abandoned house. The vampire and I had an epic fight one that left the room it was in destoryed. I had lost the battle and right when I was going to die. These shurikens came out of nowhere and the vampire dodge them but then the head lifted up on them and they spinned in place as they scanned the room and once they scanned the room almost like they were giving the person a visual on the room then the top closed back down and they spinned right back towards the vampire following it. There was nothing but heavy dark breathing from the shadows it shook me to my core. Then I saw the vampire. A rope wrapped around it burning it as the vampire was pulled into the shadows and then the dark breathing stopped and the vampire was thrown out to the wall it was knocked out cold.

Then a figure appeared from the shadows.

This person or thing or whatever it or him was

A Anubius like cowl that covered his entire face, a pair of black gloves , Black boots with a tight six pack looking body suit in all black. He stood about 6'2 and he spoke he told me to take the vampire to Transylvania dont kill him it's not his fault he cant control his thirst . I told him he was crazy. He told me that in return for him saving my life I would help the police with the most dangerous monsters they come across with that he'd been watching me for some time

and that I have skill to be something great. Then he grabbed a gun from behind his back a zip line rifle and he went towards the window and fired it and then he jumped out the window and I ranned to look at it and he was swinging from it through the sky.

This shuriken is the same one that guy used that saved my life that night.

I'm telling you he's the same person.

Okay. We will talk more about him later.

We need to find a way to stop The dream Walker.

Well for starters you forget detective he had a wife. Remember. I guess old age getting to ya.

I been doing this a long time james.

Yeah me too.

Hey somebody Call His wife and get her down to the monroe's hospital.

Melvin you and the cops get down there to Romania.

The strike force and I will get down there to the hospital on stand by. Bishop opens the note and it says call Transylvania and tell them to stay on high alert cause The dreamwalker is just a decoy. Transylvania is the real target.

Bishop calls Transylvania but he doesn't get an answer. He tells Jace to take Danny and james will go with them to Transylvania. Him and the rest of the strike force will head to the hospital.

..... Outside the hospital.....

The dream Walker's wife arrives a police squad car. She gets out the car and Bishop fills her in on the situation and she grabs the intercom and talks

Harvey. Harvey. What are you doing?

You need to calm down Harvey your sick and need help.

Now I want you to stop Harvey and come on out.

Harvey looks outside and then walks to the phone and calls them. Bishop answers the phone hello.

Bishop put my wife on the phone.

Bishop hand the phone to Harvey's wife.

Harvey it's okay they all remember now. They remember.They feel the same pain you felt when that fire took our children and they covered it up as a accident.

Harvey speaks terra they took him from us. Just because we was different. All we wanted was to live in peace and they took our son.

I know but do you think Adam would want you to do this come on. Harvey that's enough

She looks at Bishop and shakes her head as him and the strike force moves in and take Harvey as Bishop doesnt see his wife as he ask Harvey where's my wife. Harvey laughs. Did you really think this was the end game?

No what did you do

Harvey laughs and laughs

The strike force takes Harvey.

Bishop runs out the hospital and gets in his car and starts to drive to his house.

Meanwhile at the Transylvania

Jace , Danny and James are walking through Transylvania and its blood everywhere . They walk and they see that the cages have been open and Jace tells Danny they have to report this immediately.

Bishop makes it home and yells

KIM KIM KIM and he sees that the phone voicemail record button has lit up as he plays it.

Hey Bishop it's me Kim. I'm being transferred to another hospital in Monroe to help the patience there so I wont be home tonight. I Love you.

Bishop sits down on the bed running his hand across his forehead. His phone rings its Danny. Bishop answers the phone.

Danny tells him all the half of the prisoner from level C and B Have escaped Transylvania. The A and S Level creatures are still in their cells.

Then Bishop feels something fall into his forehead he wipes it with his hand and he feels it again and again and again and he looks up.

OH MY GOD KIM,KIM, KIM GOD NO. Bishop yells crying. Kim is pinned to the celling dead dripping blood . Danny on the phone yelling BISHOP BISHOP BISHOP WHATS HAPPENING WE ARE ON OUR WAY BISHOP CAPTAIN.

Simmers appears behind Bishop and snaps Bishop's neck and leaves.

.... IN Monroe only the strong survive. Only the hard and only the strong....
