This story takes place immediately after the events of The Awakening. Gloria Salah, adrift in her lifeboat, is picked up by a ship and believes she can finally return home. But actualy, she has been rescued by a fearsome pirate crew, the vanguard of a vast fleet from around the world, intent on attacking the Rave Party, kidnapping numerous people, and demanding a hefty ransom. However, the ship is quickly sunk by Scylla, another recently awakened member of the family, and the survivors, including Gloria, find themselves on Monster Island ! While Gloria clearly has little to fear from the family, the same cannot be said for the many cruel pirates, drawn by the lure of profit, who believe they can make a fortune off the monsters... but they have other plans, such as letting the rest of the world know that they're indeed real !
