Chapter 1: A New Start

When you hear the word "Monsters" what is your first thought? It could be an image of a creature not of this world. A creature that is huge with fur or scales. Maybe it has sharp claws and fangs. It could be possible that it can fly or breath fire. You may think that it's Bigfoot, the Lochness Monster or even the Abominable Snowman. Whatever you come up with, you know that it's just make believe… or is it? What if I told you that the creatures you thought of are real? Don't believe me? Well, you might not think so, but they do exist but not in this world… no, they belong to a world that goes through our closet doors and into a world called the Monster World. In this world are story starts in the city of Monstropolis….

The sun was shining down on the men prison in Monstropolis. Different monsters of all shapes, sizes and types were sent to the prison for small misdemeanors to harsh felonies. Each monster's story is different on how they ended up there. Some there for false allegations, some because evidence showed they committed the crime, and others because they were wrapped into a plot they had no control of. The last one is where one monster had earned his place in this prison. This monster was of reptilian decedent. He was a purple lizard with four arms, four legs, large emerald green eyes, a blue tail and three pink tipped fronds on the top of his head. This monster's name was Randall.

Randall was by no means a bad monster, he just ended up being a pawn in a large conspiracy theory that he wished to be no part of, but couldn't due to a powerful and wealthy monster that was his boss. A conspiracy that ended up having him be illegally banished, tortured by humans, and being arrested by the CDA the moment he came back to the Monster World. There was no say on his part of the crimes. No room for him to tell his side. Nope, just went straight to jail, do not go past go, do not collect $200. He was currently resting in his cell, along with his cellmate that turned out to be his uncle. How that happened he had no idea. He looked down at his uncle, who was lying on the bottom bunk, playing a harmonica. Randall's uncle was a yellow skinned monster with large brown eyes, tentacle arms, and four legs. His usual leather jacket was replaced with an orange shirt, which Randall was also wearing.

"Uncle Rhoul?"

Said monster was about to stop when a guard hit their cell bars hard with his batting baton.

"Rhoul! Knock it off with the harmonica playing!"

Rhoul smirked as he turned to look at the guard.

"Aw, come on Benny, I'm just trying to lighten the mood."

"Well knock it off! The warden is getting a headache listening to you play the same song."

"Oh come on! Who doesn't love Chopsticks?"

"Chopsticks is for the piano! Not a harmonica!"

"Not anymore!" Rhoul grinned as he went back to playing the same tune.

Benny scowled.

"If you're done being annoying, I have an announcement for you two."

"What announcement?"

Randall climbed down from his bunk to stand next to Rhoul, curious on what going to be said. He had been in jail for a little over a year and most of it was spent in the medical ward and solitary confinement due to developing PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) in the human world, so while most of the prisoners got to enjoy some activities, Randall was trying to deal with the turmoil and stress that the human world had inflicted on him. To the guards, Randall was a model prisoner when he wasn't in the medical ward and solitary confinement.

"It's for your nephew. Congratulations Randall, you've been bailed out."

"I-I have? Who bailed me out?" The lizard monster asked.

"You'll see." The guard said, cuffing the lizard monsters hands, opening the cell and escorted Randall out of the prison.

Randall had nothing to really pick up, due to the fact that when he was arrested he had just came out of the human world. After a body inspection, to make sure he had no weapons on him, and turned in his orange prison suit, he was escorted out to see one of his parents. His eyes widen. There was a female purple monster of similar built to Rhoul. Yet instead of brown eyes, she had hazel eyes that were behind blue glasses. Randall gulped at the sight of her. The monster that was standing in front of him was his mother, Cheryal Boggs, a well-known and respected surgical doctor, and she had the worst temper that people knew to avoid at all cost. And how she was glaring at him now, he knew that he was going to end up facing it.

He continued to stare at her, not noticing the handcuffs were coming off. He finally snapped out of his terror when the guard shoved Randall towards the woman. He stumbled a bit before catching himself. He gulped as he went up to her.

"Mom, I'm so-"

"Not now. Let's go." She clipped, not letting him explain himself.

He knew exactly why she cut him off. He could see it in her eyes. She was livid. He gulped in fear as he followed her to the car. She opened the back passenger door for him, before he could reach to sit next to her in the driver's seat. Not wanting to push his luck, he climbed into the back. He looked at her in fear when she buckled him in instead of letting him doing it himself. He looked at her, but she said nothing, but shutting to door (more like slamming it) and getting into the driver's seat and driving off. Randall kept glancing back at her, fear eating at him. The ride was spent in silence, which continued to fuel the lizard monster's anxieties and fears. He wanted to say something, he wanted to, but he couldn't form any words without the fear of her anger silencing him. The moment the pulled in, Cheryal got out and grabbed him by his arm, after unbuckling him and dragging him into the house. She pushed him towards the couch once they entered.

"Sit your tail on the couch!"

Randall ran over and sat, looking at her with wide terrified eyes. She paced back and forth in front of him, tentacles curling in and out as she tried to control her temper, which didn't last long as she turned at him.

"HOW COULD YOU DO SUCH A STUPID AND DANGEROUS THING!?" she exploded at him.

Randall jumped, nearly turning invisible due to reflex. He had to take all his self-control to not do it. He coiled into the couch, trying to distance himself from his mother's rage.

"Kidnapping a human child! Attempted murder! Espionage! You are so lucky that they got their claws on you before I did! Because you are in serious trouble! What was going through your head!? How could you lie to us! I have half a mind to just leave you in that prison you know! What point in your life that such crimes were acceptable!?"

Randall looked at her, tears brimming in his eyes. He didn't choose to do such things! He honestly thought he was doing good! Tears started falling as she continued to rant and scream at him. He was petrified. Her face has gone from purple to a shade of red, her eyes having a wild look of rage and anger, and her tentacles flailing around as she paced. He had pressed himself so close to the couch that he just wanted to blend into it to hide from her anger, but he couldn't. All four of his hands were clutched close to his body, fronds flat against his head as he continued to look at her. His eyes widen when he saw her raise a tentacle to what seem like she was about to strike him.

"I'm sorry!" he wailed, lifting his arms to defend himself. "I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I-I was trying to help the city! I-I thought I was h-helping! Please don't hate me! P-p-please!"

Cheryal looked at him in shock, her anger quickly vanishing. She looked at her arm to see that it was raised like she was going to hit him. Her eyes widen in horror as she quickly lowered it and grabbed his wrists, pulling his hands away from his face.

"No, no, sweetie, I'm not going to hit you. You know I would never do such a thing! I'm so sorry baby. I'm just so upset that you could do such bad things! We have raised you better than this!"

"I-I thought I was helping!" He hiccupped. "I just w-w-wanted to do g-good!"

"Oh Randy…" she frowned sadly, pulling him close.

"I-I didn't want to after Waternoose t-t-told me I-I had to go and sp-spy on F-F-Fear C-Co! B-but I had to! H-He cut my paycheck! H-He even changed the e-entire purpose of my blueprints! I'm sorry mom! I-I'm so sorry!" he bawled.

Cheryal's eyes soften, her anger now gone. She gently stroked his fronds. She knew that he would never do anything so horrible. He was just too sweet. She shushed him gently. She mental scolded herself for letting her anger get the best of her once again, and especially unleashing it to the point that she has brought him to point of tears. She gently kissed the top of his head. So much for a new start.
