he will destroy the world.

What?

- Talk about over-reacting.

He plans to shoot a giant

ice sphere into the sun and then...

...the sun

will be extinguished...

...and all life on Earth

will come to an end.

Except for vampires.

Who don't need sunlight.

So in order to save

all life on Earth...

...I have to marry Dracula?

Mmm.

No. We'll stop him.

- But how?

My master is currently

in his Lazarus bath.

He needs it to stop

himself from aging.

Good to know but we're trying

to save the planet here.

You misunderstand.

In the bath he's helpless.

But he's only inside

until sunset.

Okay, we've got no plan

and no time.

Wait. Does this castle

have a kitchen?

Only the best

in the catalogue.

Okay. We need salt,

olive oil and water.

We're making Dracula pasta?

- With salt, olive oil and sacred balm...

holy water, you make!

- Major anti-vampire mojo.

Holy water will beat Dracula?

- For sure.

Once he's beaten,

we'll lock him up forever.

Salt and oil.

And water.

- Er, Max.

Where will we find sacred

balm in a kitchen?

I don't think it's gonna

be in the spice rack.

It's been here

all the time.

Your bandages are steeped

in a sacred embalming fluid.

Okay. Sometimes being smart...

...is extremely cool.

It's amazing what people will do

to knock off just a few years.

I'm gonna jump on the tank and

I'll pour in the holy water.

Awake, the Dark One is.

Emma, why would you stay

with your wretched family...

...when we can achieve

greatness together?

Oh, no, I sense you

brought holy water.

Wow, how can he smell

through that thing?

Your heart is so dark,

no-one could love you.

Do be careful. It's very steep.

- Ouch!

- Told you.

This is from the Wishbones!

For every antidote there

is an antiantidote.

Bon apptit.

And welcome back.

I'm hungry!

I'm sure your mother's love for you

is bigger than her appetite.

Memma. Mon't.

Now bite him and we shall live

together for all eternity.

You are mine.

You are a vampire.

Fulfil your destiny.

I...

...Immove... you.

What are you doing?

Yes, Emma. Do it!

Do it now!

Emma?

No!

No!

Yes!

The greatest magic,

love is.

Yuck.

What?

Why does this always happen to me?

You leave my mum alone.

Ah, so much for romance.

Humans, why must you

always be so... human?

Is everyone okay?

I'm so glad you're awake.

What I have in store for you is...

...much more enjoyable

if you're conscious.

The ice sphere is expanding.

And soon we'll be

ready for launch.

So I'm afraid it's

going to get very cramped...

...and very, very

cold in here.

Let my family go and

I will stay with you.

It's too late,

I'm afraid...

...Emma. You chose

your family over me.

And now I choose

to destroy you.

Just look at it as a

particularly bad break up.

You and my traitorous servant

are about to discover what happens...

...when you betray

the Prince of Darkness.

I've made a huge mistake and

I got us into this.

You were right, Fay.

I'm really good

at messing up.

No, Mum, you were right.

- I was?

It doesn't matter if people look at

me and see an ugly mummy.

I know who I am under

all these bandages.

And it's not that much

fun being scary.

It's actually kind of lonely.

- I'm sorry...

...I said all those

awful things.

I wouldn't want any other family.

- Frank...

...mmove... family.

I mmove you, too.

Room for one more?

You broke the spell!

You're finally happy.

Come on, we have

to stop Dracula.

We've just got this little

problem with the chains.

I don't.

And so you're going

to step up and single-handedly...

...conquer the

Prince of Darkness...

...and take us all home.

- What?

You're the only one

who's not chained up.

Hey.

Hello.

Wishbones, let's save the world then.

The sun is

about to rise...

...for the last time, because

very soon, my little friend...

...your big brother will be

sent to destroy it!

Not you again.

What are you doing here?

You are meant to be frozen.

In your dreams.

The Wishbones never give up.

Such confidence.

Do tell me, my dear...

...how do you plan to defeat

a being who can freeze you at will?

Vile deceivers!

I guess you're not

so powerful now.

I can still press a button.

Not so fast, you creep!

Take that, and that,

and that, that and...

Enough of this.

What's he doing?

Mrap. I mean crap!

Pathetic creatures.

Look at you.

Hideous. Weak. Timid.

But we are a family.

Something that you will never have.

And neither will you.

What now?

I beat a beetle.

- And won!

I think I can

deal with that.

Okay, let's settle

this man to bat.

The sun.

Did you really think

you could defeat me?

Me?

The Prince of Darkness.

The Scourge of Transylvania.

Say goodbye to your...

Pitiful mortals.

You cannot... defeat...

Huh, Dracula.

As I've always said

it's good to do things

together as a family.

More work for you, Wishbone.

No can do.

I'm going home.

I can fire you, you know.

You should think of your family.

That's exactly what I'm doing.

Wishbone! Wishbone!

It might seem crazy what

I'm about to say

Sunshine she's here,

you can take a break

Because I'm happy

Clap along if you feel

like a room without a roof

Because I'm happy

Clap along if you feel

like happiness is the truth

Because I'm happy

Clap along if you know

what happiness is to you

Because I'm happy

Clap along if you feel

like that's what you wanna do

Here comes bad news

talking this and that, yeah

Well, give me all you got,

and don't hold it back

Da-da!

- Yeah!

Happy

Only you

can make me happy

Happy

Only you

can make me happy

So happy

Bye.

Only you

can make me happy
