With my huge obsession with Monsters University spreading throughout my brain I have decided to make another multi chapter story. I will make sure to update this if people want it to be continued. I mean if it doesn't interest people I'll just keep it as a oneshot. But if you guys like it just tell me through reviews. But I warn you now this story will be dark. That is all I will say. Now enjoy
Part I
Mike Wazowski got into the seat closest to the window but in the middle row. He had just arrived at his mandatory Calculus course. The only reason he was taking it was because he needed a math course to take while preparing for the scare games with Oozma Kappa. Plus because Sulley was taking the course so he wouldn't be bored completely out of his mind.
It was a beautiful morning really. The sky was clear of any clouds and the sun was beating down heavily over the University. Something told Mike this would be an interesting day.
"Hey I think the teach is goanna start?" Sulley pokes Mike on the head and points Mike to the front of the class. Sulley was sitting just to the right of him.
The teacher, who was a purple slug creature, greats the student with enthusiasm. "Good morning again class." They all respond the same to the woman.
"Now students we will be going over a common mistake done in Calculus. Now if you would like please open your textbooks to …" Her voice trails as Mike loses her attention. He rather be practicing for the scare games than be here.
Mike was about to go and open his textbook when he starts hearing this strange noise. It sounded like a loud marching band. Mike looks out the window but sees no marching band of the sort. He raises his hand, maybe the teacher would know what that sound was. The teacher instantly calls on Mike.
"Ma'm do you hear that?" He asks before looking out the window again.
"Yes it is probably the marching band or possibly a plane-" The monster pauses.
The desks start to shake all of a sudden. Then the walls and even the floor itself start vibrating. The light fixtures above start to sway rapidly and the books on people's desk start to fall over. It hit everyone quite clearly what was going on.
It was an earthquake.
"Everyone get underneath your desk now!" The teacher orders. Everyone follows her order, some monsters such as Sulley who couldn't fit, got to the ground and covered their head with their hands.
The teacher quickly rushes over to the windows and shuts the blinds. She herself quickly scurries over to her desk and gets underneath it.
The lights soon after shatter into a rain of fractured glass. The loud pops it made sent even more panic across the room. Monster whimpers could be heard from some students while others were completely silent. Bookshelves topple over, chairs rattle and the very ground underneath feels like you're in water. This was quite possibly the scariest event that Mike has ever confronted.
Then it was all over. Just like that. A minute ago everyone was cowering and then all of a sudden it just stops. The first one to stand up was Sulley. He saw the room was now in terrible condition. Books, papers and glass littered the floor of the dark room. But for the most part it seemed like it was safe to come out.
"You guys can come out now. The quake stopped." He calls out to the class. Mike is the next one to stand at his best buddy's announcement. He looks over to his buddy and sees he is fine. He was glad to see that. Now he wondered if the others of Oozma Kappa were alright.
Soon after the teacher gets out of her hiding place and the other students follow suit.
"Is everyone alright?" The teacher asks. She scans over the students carefully; she wanted to make sure everyone was alright. Everyone nods but doesn't speak. They were still startled by the recent events.
"You guys stay here till I get back. I'm going to go check the other classes and see if their classes are okay." The slug creature dashes out the room leaving the students. Everyone instantly starts speaking. Some like Mike were concerned about their friend's safety.
"Hey Sulley you okay?" Mike asks with concern.
"Yea I'm good. I just wasn't suspecting an earthquake in our forecast."
"Yea me either. Let's just hope we don't get any after tremors."
"Yea I hope to. Hey I can't see a thing in this darkness. How about we open those shades Mike?"
"Gotcha buddy, I'm on it." Mike even though close to the window, walks carefully towards it. He didn't want to slice up his feet. Once he got to the window, he opens the shades.
Mike gasps. Sulley turns at the sound of his gasp and is left speechless when he sees it.
"Hey what's up with-" A student stops when he sees what the other two are seeing. This feverish shock soon passes through the rest of the students. That is until a male monster nearest to the exit barks,
"Why is the sky green?!"
"M-Maybe this is all just some prank someone pulled on us?" One monster girl says hysterically.
"This! A joke? How can this be a joke?" Says another student, this one male.
"Well if this isn't a joke then what do we do? I definitely ain't waiting for the teacher." Says a monster as he leaves the room.
"Yea he's right. I'm outta here. " Says another monster. Soon monsters start to file out of the classroom.
Once all the students ran out of the room the only two left were, Sulley and Mike.
"So what do we do?" Sulley asks anxiously.
"Well I suppose the first thing we should do is get contact to the outside world. Do you have a cell phone or something like that?" Mike asks, as he carefully escorts him and Mike to the door leading to the hallway.
"No not on me. But we can use the phone in the Dean's office. She isn't here in the University right now."
" I suppose that's good. Well let's just get there…" Mike pauses when he opens the door to the hallway. Students crowded the hallways to the limit. They were running around in a panicked frenzy. Screaming and crying could be heard very clearly in the rush. It was chaos.
"… before it gets wild."
Meanwhile
Squishy was outside the University with his mother. His classes didn't start till later so he had some free time to get off campus.
They were driving down the road back to the Oozma Kappa fraternity house. His mother had just gotten done her weekly food shopping done and she would need to get back before anything spoiled.
"So Mom could I have one of those popsicles when I get back?" Squishy asks. He was riding on the right of his mother.
"Of course honey. Just don't eat too many you know how Art gets…" Her voice is soon drowned out by loud sirens. Squishy looks through his window to see what's going on. Police and ambulance cars by the tens come zooming past them at high speeds. Did something happen?
"Mom what's going on?"
"I don't know Son. Let me ask." Ms. Squibbles rolls down her windows and stops by the sidewalk. She calls out to a male monster that was kind enough to approach her car.
"Sir, do you know what's going on down there?"
"Someone just called me about it. They said there was this big explosion near Monsters University..."
"What!" Squishy exclaims. He was genuinely scared by the news. One question plagued him the most: Were his fraternity brothers okay? He needed to know!
"Yea I reacted the same way as you did kiddo thankfully-" Before the kind monster could finish Ms. Squibbles sped down the driveway. She ignored traffic rules and other rules of the road. She also wondered about the safety of Squishy's friends.
His mom immediately found an illegal parking spot, she nor did her son have time to worry about that. They get out of the car, forgetting to lock the door, and dash over to the humongous crowd.
Nothing could prepare these two for the scene they were about to encounter. The whole entire University was gone. Acres beyond acres of school were just completely wiped from existence; in its wake is a huge crater. How was this in any way possible? And there is not even an inch of the university left. It would have made a tiny bit more sense if there was something left over but there was absolutely nothing. It was like Monsters University was never there to begin with.
There was a huge crowd of monsters gawking and watching at what just went on. It seems like police officers had completely surrounded the University and were stopping anyone from getting too close to the school. It was chaotic near the missing school.
Though in all of these events Squishy got a call from someone. His flip phone vibrated in the breast pocket his mother kindly sowed into his OK sweater. He walks away from the crowd; he needed a quite place to answer this call.
Once he was far enough away he takes out the phone and puts it to his ear hole. "H-hello?" He was still shaken by what happened.
"Squishy you there?" It was Sulley. He was on the other line!
"Y-yea I'm here! Where are you guys?" Squishy says urgently into the phone. He was ecstatic to hear his friend on the other line.
"Where else? In the school man." All of Squishy's five eyes widen. What in the world was Sulley talking about? Monsters University was completely gone, there's no way they can be there!
"School? But the school is completely gone Sulley. What are you even talking about?"
"No wait what are you talking about? We're right here in the school's main office. Didn't you feel that earthquake man?" Earthquake? What earthquake ? There was no earthquake in Monstropolis. He and everyone else would have surely noticed it.
"Earthquake…" Squishy was trying very hard to wrap his mind around this. What exactly was going on?
"Ye- n Earth-ke…" Squishy couldn't make out what Sulley was saying. He was losing the line!
"Sulley speak up. I'm losing you!"
"Wha- I ca- hear you. We're brea- up…"
"Sulley are you still there? Hello?" He desperately says but it was futile. He had completely lost the line by then. He was speechless yet again. Ms Squibbles goes over to her son. She wonders who he was talking to.
"Squishy who were you talking to?" Squishy looks up at his phone, then to his mother.
Squishy still distraught speaks, "I was talking to Sulley Mom." The expression on his mother's face turns from slight wonder to a deep sadness.
"Squishy they're-"
"Mom please don't say it!" Squishy steps away from his mother. He was shaking his head no.
"Son I know you loved those guys to the ends of world but I have to say this. They're gone."
The first though to pop into Squishy's mind was: No they aren't.
