Monster High: Haunted Page #6

Something, something,

something all over the something

Porter!

I'm so sorry! Your chains.

Yo, ho! Yo, ho!

Is a thing that pirates say

We have to go!

But there's still 37 more verses.

Now!

- Aye, aye!

- Aye, aye!

What is happening, Spectra?

It's Principal Revenant.

She's sent the Hall Moanitors to Monster High

to turn everyone into ghosts.

With my dad's boogie sand.

Then she wants to load them

with detention chains. Everybody.

Wait. That's it.

The chains.

This is all about the detention chains.

It's like Porter said.

"The chains can't be broken,

only transferred."

Principle Revenant wasn't

just wearing those chains.

She's being punished by them.

Spectra! Monster High is that way!

I'm not going to Monster High.

But you are! Do whatever you can

to stop those Hall Moanitors!

Porter and Spectra, cracking the...

Hi, Spectra. Spectra?

Yes! This is it!

Come on! That desk you fixed up

is going to get some use after all.

We are running out of time.

Can you not make this thing

go any faster, Vandala?

You heard the gargoyle. Full speed!

Nope, looks like this is

as fast as she goes. Sorry!

Bad news. By the time

we get to Monster High,

we're going to be too late to stop them.

Unless...

Kiyomi, you could open a window!

We'd get there in no time!

Can you do it, Kiyomi?

Fangtastic!

- Let's move!

- Wait!

Aye. You're in charge

of the Salty Spectre while I'm away.

Aye, aye!

Okay, now I'm ready.

The Red Lady?

Another boring day at school.

Am I right, fellas?

I take it back.

Prepare the ghost sand!

Time to boogie.

Look! The cannon!

No!

Manny!

Hey!

That is not the intended use

for my confetti cannons.

What are we gonna do?

Let me show you ghouls

a little something

we learned in Ghost Pirating 101.

Ready! Aim!

Gil!

Ya-har!

No!

Okay, what now?

What else could go wrong?

"What I've Learned

About Spreading Gossip,"

a Haunted Herald blog post

by Spectra Vondergeist.

What?

Before coming to Haunted High,

I never saw much harm

in reporting on rumors.

They were just funny stories,

little tidbits of juicy gossip.

It was fun to join in with the crowd

and pass along the latest overheard

pieces of news.

But now I realize

how harmful rumors can be.

There's a particularly nasty rumor

going around here at Haunted High

about how the so-called "outsiders"

want to come to your school

to frighten and scare you.

It's not true, but this rumor

became so powerful, so real,

that it was able to convince

the entire school

to go along with Principal Revenant's

devious plan.

And for what?

Because she really thinks the Monster High

students deserve detention?

No. All this is because she wants

to get rid of her own chains.

And she has a lot of them

because Principal Revenant

is the Red Lady.

The Red Lady?

- No way!

- What's she talking about?

- That can't be true!

- I can't believe it!

It's true! These are her chains!

This building, it used to be her home.

But her chains kept her from leaving,

so she turned it into a school.

The Red Lady wanted

to give you all detention

so you could carry out

her punishment for her.

Look! Up there!

That's quite enough of your blogging,

Miss Vondergeist.

So, you figured it out.

I am the Red Lady.

And your little friends may have

disrupted my plan,

but it doesn't matter.

If I can't have new students

to put in detention,

I'll just give all my chains to you.

They're too fast! We can't outrun them.

We have to keep going!

No. No more running.

Kiyomi, what are you doing?

I started all of this

by opening windows between worlds.

Now, I'm going to do the same to end it.

We have to help her!

How? None of us has ever opened

a window before.

We have to try! Group ghost power!

You are going to be in detention

for a very long time.

Ha! That'll teach you to mess

with another reaper's confetti cannons.

Ha! Not really what I was

going for, but I'm free!

I'm finally free!

Well, it's been fun, boys and ghouls.

It really has.

But if you'll excuse me,

I've got a lot of haunting to catch up on.

No! No!

Why can't I leave?

I don't have anymore...

Chains? What's happening?

Who's doing this?

Is it you?

Is it your little ghoul friends?

Who is doing this to me?

You're doing it to yourself.

- No.

- Yes.

The chains are coming from you.

It all makes sense.

Look around at your students.

All those chains you've given out,

and yet you weren't getting

any closer to freedom.

Because with every haunting,

every unjustified detention,

every lie,

rumor and bit of gossip you spread,

you were creating

more chains for yourself.

You don't know

what you're talking about.

Somebody... Somebody else

must be doing this.

No. Deep down,

I think you knew

what you were doing was wrong.

And your inner conscience

created these chains to try and stop you.

You said it yourself,

"You'll never learn your lesson

if you don't pay the price."

You've been to the Monster World.

You know the rumors

you were spreading aren't true.

The solids are not out to get you.

They're just like you and me.

That was all just made up ghost gossip.

I don't know about you,

but I am done with rumors.

And I think you should be, too.

Good for you, ghoul friend.

Told you we'd find a good story.

I spent so much time

blaming everyone else

that I never stopped

to consider that this was my fault.

She took back the chains!

No more detention!

I am sorry I made you all part of this.

These are my chains to work off,

no matter how long it takes.

Not yours.

And I hope that you'll allow me

to continue being your principal

while I pay for my mistakes.

It is going to take a long time,

but I will earn my freedom.

Someday.

Revenant! Revenant! Revenant! Revenant!

Can I just say,

that was totally spooktacular.

You thought so?

I had chills. And not just because,

you know, I'm a ghost.

So, is it true? About the outsiders?

We really don't have

to be scared of them?

I think it's about time these two schools

got to know each other.

Yar!

Okay, now you try.

Yar!

We'll... We'll work on it, yeah, yeah.

Why am I so itchy all of a sudden?

Oh, yeah, I've seen this before.

You've got sea-fleas!

Sea-fleas!

I thought you know this by now

We're all just ghouls

at the end of the day

Howling at the moon

Won't you come out and play?

Play, play

We're all just ghouls

at the end of the day

And we're breaking through

like zombies coming out of the grave

I like to party like a monster

Party like a monster

There! All finished

I love it! Spooky chic!

So, rumor has it, the ghosts

and the monsters are really hitting it off.

Hey, I think I read

a blog post that said,

"There's nothing good

about spreading rumors."

I think this one is okay.

Make it last forever

We're stopping never

Party like a monster

I'm really gonna miss seeing you

at school every day.

I'm really gonna miss you too, Porter.

After all, we are a duo.

Live inside of your nightmares
