The world is changing, and it must be for the better. Christopher Gable, the newly elected President of the United States, intends to put an end to tensions between his country and Drakovia by inviting Lord Dracula and his allies to the White House for an official state dinner intended to mark a possible new alliance between their nations. This doesn't please everyone, but the "monsters" of Drakovia believe it could be for the best. However, at the same time, the powerful, mysterious underwater empire of Atlantis, ruled by the great warrior Lokmatal IV, appears to be planning an attack on New York City, seemingly in retaliation for the mass pollution the United States is inflicting on the world's oceans. This reignites tensions, but Dracula and his allies decide to parley with Lokmatal to try and negotiate peace, for the good of all. In doing so, they discover that the Atlantean ruler is actually the victim of a powerful telepath, himself working for someone else who's likely American. As always, people from all walks of life oppose change, but this time, good people, both human and "monster," will do everything they can to prevent them from plunging this world into chaos !
