"Good morning boys! Time to brush your fangs and put on your PJs. Your father will be up shortly to read you a scary story before bed. Sleep tight." Alright, what is exactly going on here. Kids going to bed in the morning? Brushing their fangs? Let me summarize things for you. The Bauhaus family is part of a long line of vampires. After years of mistrust between humans and vampires, the two groups finally came to an understanding. It came about by accident really. Looking for an alternative for blood, the vampires developed a taste for Redbull energy drinks. Apparently they give you wings. Their thirst for blood was no more.

While their parents were downstairs, Wally and Theo started horsing around in their room. The boys had recently heard from the kids at school that vampires could turn into bats. "No way!" Wally said. "Let me try" Theoretorted. And wouldn't you know it, he transformed from a 10 year old (150 in human years) vampire into a living, breathing bat. He buzzed around the boys' bedroom before smashing through the window. "What was that?" Mr. Bauhaus yelled. "We were just playing around" Wally explained. "It's dangerous out there and he's never been out alone at night. We need to find him!" "Am I in trouble?" "Yes!" Mr. Bauhaus replied. "Aw, gee whiz!"

As his parents and brother were frantically searching for him, Theo was out enjoying his newfound ability to transform into a bat. "This is awesome! How did I not know about this before? I can go anywhere I want, anytime I want. There is no limit to what I can see or do. I'm the baddest vampire bat around!" HOO! HOO! "What was that? Whew! It's just an owl. Maybe I'm not as tough as I thought I was. I think it's time to go home. One problem though. Where the heck am I? I'm cold, I'm lost and I want my Mommy!"

"We've looked everywhere and there's no sign of our little boy" Mr. Bauhaus exclaimed. "What are we going to do? We only have a few hours before the sun rises. My poor baby!"  Mrs. Bauhaus cried out. "How about I turn into a bat and go look for him myself?" Wally asked. "NO!" his parents replied in unison. "This is a desperate situation and I'm going to have to ask a favor of an old acquaintance." "You don't mean....?" "Yes. Professor Vanna Helsing." "Can we trust her?" Mrs. Bauhaus wondered. "We have no choice June. You and Wally head home in case Theo returns. I will go meet with the Professor."

TRANSYLVANIA TECH UNIVERSITY

"Ward? What brings you to Transylvani Tech?" "It's my son, Theo. He's gone missing. He figured out how to transform into a bat and flew out his bedroom window. He hasn't been seen since." "Oh, I see. Well my vampire hunting days are over. I do, however, know of someone that may be able to help." "I'm desperate Vanna. Who is this person?" "His name is Jason Dark. Quite a mysterious figure. Nobody seems to know much about him." "Where do I find this Jason Dark?" "You don't. He'll find you. Good luck my friend." Mr. Bauhaus made his way to the roof of the school and waited for Jason Dark.

"Professor Helsing tells me you need my help" a voice growled in the dark. "Who's there?" "It's Jason Dark. I live in the shadows and fight monsters that haunt people's dreams." "Well, my boy is missing. He turned into a bat and disappeared a few hours ago. The sun will be rising in less than three hours and we're worried sick. He's never been exposed to the sun and we don't want him to disintegrate." "Don't worry Mr. Bauhaus. I'll rescue your son." "Thanks. Oh, and look out for Ghouliani, 'The Vampire Queen.' She commands an army of bats and I'm afraid that Theo may be with her." "I don't fear evil. Evil fears me."

Jason leaped from the rooftop and began bracing for the landing but his feet never touched the ground. He had been intercepted in mid-air by a pair of large bats. "Put me down you overgrown rodents!" "We're taking you to see The Queen. I'm sure she'll be thrilled to meet the infamous Jason Dark." Unable to break free from his winged captors, Jason began plotting his next move. Perhaps The Vampire Queen had captured Theo as well. "Where are you taking me?" "No more questions Dark! You'll find out when we get there" one of the bats angrily replied.
