On their nefarious mission to scare the Buckingham Palace Guards, the Terrible Trio ended up in Ireland, where they were taken in by the infamous Dr.Ruskenstein, an acquaintance of Mummy. The Doctor turns out to have a yet untested teleporter with which they can get to London within seconds.

It was early in the morning when Dr.Ruskenstein fired up the teleporter. A ginormous portal opened up in front of the horrory trio.

"Thank you for helping us, Doc" Mummy said.

"Oh no problem! Just let me know if you guys make it through so I know if it works or not."

Without much further ado, Zombie and Dragon hopped through the portal, followed closely by Mummy. Dr.Ruskenstein heard something falling so she looked away from the portal for a few seconds... long enough for a bat to fly through unnoticed before the portal was closed.

Meanwhile the horrory trio had ended up in London, or rather, deep down in the London sewers. As soon as the stepped out of the portal they found themselves trying to not fall into really gross poopy water.

"This place stinks!" Zombie yelled.
"Where are we?" Dragon asked.
Mummy reached into his bandages and pulled out a torch, which Dragon lit for him. Now that they could see everything they found themselves in a cavernous sewer, with a faded London Underground symbol on one of the walls.

"This must've been an old subway line." Mummy remarked. "If we just go in one direction we should find our way out of this mess."

While the three walked off in one direction (if anyone makes a 1D comment Zombie will eat you all!!!), the bat landed in a dark part of the cavern and materialised into a shadow.

"You can run, Mummy," it snarled, "but you can't hide..."

The shadow whistled a short blast which would seem like a dead giveaway, but since sewers are full of weird noises no one even noticed... except for a thousand pairs of red glowing eyes. A giant rat stepped out of the darkness.

"I see you've come to collect on that favor I still owed you."
"I have fresh prey for you Ratman." the shadow replied. "A mummy, a zombie, and a dragon. Kill the mummy, you can do with the others whatever you want."
"Your highness is generous as always."
"Just remember Ratman, I was never here. If the Family finds out I'm dealing with you, I'll be banished to the Sahara for 5 years."
"As you wish... Count Dracula."
