A/N: Season 3 baby! This will probably be the most intense season out of the series. There will be more enemies to face, but the main concern of the series is the Unagi-Kai (The aliens who placed the field over MU). Let's get this season on the road! But first, an opening monologue from Mike Wazowski himself. Enjoy!
(Mike Monologue)
Monsters University was like any other college to attend, or at least it used to be. Until we were cut off from the rest of the world by a mysterious force-field. Inescapable, indestructible, built completely from pure evil. My friends Bug, Sulley, his girlfriend Angel, Randy, Chandler, the Oozma Kappa fraternity and myself have formed a fraternity of our own known as 'First Watch'. We fight to keep the peace between the students, and we fight to destroy the Unagi-Kai, a hostile alien race who are responsible for the field trapping us. We don't know why they're here or why they're doing this to us, but now that we're all trapped inside the field together, none of our secrets are safe.
(Normal P.O.V.)
Randy was showing Squishy how to work the short wave radio that they used to pick up military and alien communications.
"What you're gonna be doing is wearing these headphones and turning this knob" Randy said.
"Wear headphones... turn knob... got it" Squishy muttered. Randy could hear what he was saying and Randy rolled his eyes and smiled a bit.
"Also, on the notepad I gave you, write down anything you might hear whether it could be alien or military" said the Reptilian. He then left for Squishy to do the work he was assigned to do. He kept turning the knob until he heard a bunch of static and one word coming out sounding distorted.
"...MOAB...MOAB...MOAB" Squishy wrote it down and called out for Randy.
"RANDY!" he shouted. The purple lizard with glasses came back in.
"Yes?" he asked. Squishy showed him the notepad with the word 'MOAB' written in marker.
"MOAB? Really?" Randy asked with a confused look.
"I swear, that's what it was saying. Everything else was static and I couldn't get anything, MOAB was the only word that was being spoken so fluently" Squishy explained. Randy looked at the radio to make sure it wasn't broken based on what Squishy told him about it being all static.
"Do you think it's Unagi-Kai language?" Squishy asked.
"Probably, I've never heard that word in my life and it sounds like something only one of the aliens would say" Randy said looking at the wires and switches to make sure the device was working properly. They both heard the bathroom door open and Bug came out of it taking a deep breath and ran his claw through his hair. Squishy then turned around and looked to his leader.
"Bug, there's something I've gotta tell you" Bug came over to where Squishy sat at the radio.
"What is it?" Bug asked.
"The radio was acting up and nothing but static but the only word frequently got through. MOAB" Squishy explained.
"MOAB. I believe it might be alien language" Bug said.
"We think so too" Randy piped in. Bug then went over to the front door.
"Try and fix it to see if you can make it stop transmitting static only" Bug ordered and then left out the door.
Meanwhile, Sulley was walking towards the front gate of Monsters University where the field wall blocked. He was talking into a walkie-talkie.
"Mike, Mike come in. Do you read me?" Sulley said into the speaker, but no luck. He didn't respond.
"ROAR!" a voice shouted behind him. Sulley jumped a bit and turned behind him to see it was Mike laughing.
"Not funny" Sulley said.
"Was too! Now what is it?" Mike asked.
"I've been thinking a lot about our seizures, and about what we said" Sulley said as Mike was now walking with him.
"The Red Stars form the Destroyer? Have you figured out what that means?" Mike asked.
"No, not yet. But if the Unagi-Kai are using the field to send out messages then we're like the receivers. We can pick up a few of those messages on our own, but when we get too close to each other..." Sulley then pressed the button on his walkie-talkie and held it up to Mike's and a bunch of screeching and static was made.
"...Feedback" Sulley then put his walkie-talkie away and then Mike spoke with a confused look in his eye.
"Sulley, why would the Unagi-Kai only talk to us?" the cyclops asked confused.
"I don't know. But when I came out here to find out, I saw THIS" Sulley said as he pointed to the wall of the field and Mike and Sulley saw that it was surrounded by several monarch butterflies.
"Wow" Mike whispered.
"I know right? Monarch butterflies aren't even in season. It's the middle of December, they shouldn't be anywhere near Monsters University" Sulley explained. The both of them smiled at the beauty that these creatures beheld.
"What do you think they're doing here?" Sulley asked.
"I don't know, and I don't really care. It's beautiful" Mike said. The gaze of how beautiful it was made him somewhat misty eyed. The both of them heard footsteps coming towards them. They turned around to see it was Bug, and Chandler who was wiping alien parasite blood off his sword and then put it back in it's case.
"I got your message, what's up?" Chandler asked.
"This" Mike said pointing at the butterflies. All of them were smiling at all the butterflies covering a large part of the field.
"Isn't it amazing?" Sulley asked.
"Yeah. It's really pretty. I haven't seen anything like this since I was a little kid" Bug said in awe. Chandler then walked up to the barrier wall in which the butterflies clung to it and placed his paw onto it. Around Chandler's paw made the distorting pattern and it made the low pitched hovering noise. But it also made the butterflies fly away at once. Chandler took his paw off the field and everyone giggled a bit at the sight of the butterflies leaving.
"That was amazing" Chandler muttered. A military soldier standing outside the field looked over to them. Mike gave a kind wave and a small smile, which the soldier returned.
"These guys are now just suddenly paying attention to us?" Chandler asked with a scoff. They all then looked to see travel buses.
"Are they sending in more soldiers?" Sulley asked.
"No. Civilians" Bug said. Many monsters of all shapes and sizes came out of the buses. Mike recognized one of them. It was a female who looked just like him only she wore lipstick and had her nails done.
"Hey, that's Kelly" Mike exclaimed in delight.
"Who?" Chandler asked.
"My sister. I attended her wedding in high school before the field came down" Mike said. He noticed she brought her husband, Hank and their child Sam who was Mike's nephew.
"Guys, it's been two and a half months since the field came down, it's the middle of December and the military hasn't let anybody near this place. So why are they now busting in the folks?" Bug asked. Sulley looked to Bug.
"Haven't you ever been to summer camp?" he asked. Bug shook his head. Sulley smiled and then spoke back.
"They're finally giving us our own visitors day" He said happily.
A/N: Yep, they all finally get to see their families and loved ones after so long of being trapped by aliens inside a giant prison made out of energy. The next chapter we will get to see the families and loved ones of 'First Watch' all that and more tomorrow. Please review, thanks!
