A/N When I first started Angela's Pet Monster back on March 15th this year, I never expected it to be so popular! 18 chapters with 43 reviews! Honestly, I thought it was a stupid idea at first, and just posted the story for the heck of it, and when I got so many reviews, I was amazed!
Then Angela's Pet Monster 2 came into writing on April 4th. 17 chapters, with 43 reviews, more than APM temporarily! They say the sequel isn't always as good as the first. Well, in my opinion, APM 2 was better than the first! Now here's the third and final installment, Angela's Pet Monster 3, with familiar characters, including a new villain. I do not own anyone except Angela, Lucille, and other OCs; Monsters Inc. belongs to Disney Pixar.

One Week Later…
A white truck was seen driving down a rural road in Monstropolis; as it approached a door, Sylvia and Waternoose jumped out. A large burlap sack followed. The truck morphed into Henkan, who somersaulted through the doorway and into the warehouse. Waternoose snatched up the bulging sack and ran through the door; Sylvia followed close behind, slamming the door behind her and deactivating it.
"Did anyone see us?" Henkan asked.
"I don't think so." Waternoose said; he threw the sack to Sylvia. "Lock this in the closet and do not open it."
She nodded, hauled the sack over her shoulder, and made her way to the closet. The sack wriggled. "Let us out!" A voice inside yelled, slightly muffled.
"Shuddup!" Sylvia kicked the sack with her hind foot.
"AHHH! She kicked me where it hurts!" A different voice screamed.
"She said shut up!" Henkan hit the sack with his tail. "Get that sack in the closet. I'm getting a headache from their yelling." He rubbed his temples with his top-hand fingers to emphasize.
She nodded, then opened the closet door, threw the sack in, and slammed the door shut. "Who knew meerkat monsters could run so fast." She sighed, collapsing on a moth-eaten chair. "My feet are killing me."
"My head is killing me."
"Alright, we'll take a break. Henkan, come with me, son. I need to have a word with you." He led the lizard monster outside.
"What is it, Boss?"
"You're aware that Sylvia had her camouflage gland removed, yes?"
Henkan nodded.
"Well, I've done quite a bit of research. I've contacted an old doctor friend, and he said if we have a camouflage gland from a donor, he'd be able to transplant it into Sylvia, regranting her camouflage abilities. That's where you come in."
"Let me guess: you want me to find a 'camouflage gland donor' for Sylvia?"
"Precisely." Waternoose nodded. "Can you do that?"
Henkan shrugged. "I'll see what I can do." He transformed into a small monster bird, activated the closet door, and flew through the door to Monstropolis.
"Why do I get the feeling I'm not going to like where he gets the gland?" Waternoose muttered to himself; he turned to Sylvia. "Have you checked the security cameras?"
Sylvia cocked her head. "What security cameras?"
Waternoose slapped his hand over his face. "Good grief-the ones we set up around the Gibbs' house! The ones we spent two hours placing around the house!"
"Oh yeah! No, I haven't. I forgot." She smiled widely.
Rolling his eyes, Waternoose approached a large camera; it was divided into 12 different screens. "Look!" Sylvia jumped up and pointed to a camera screen; it showed Lucy, who looked as though she had a bath, as her fur was shining, and had a flower on her right-side ear. Randall was standing in front of her; his eyes were bug-eyed, and his mouth hung open.
Smiling, Lucy approached the open-mouthed Lizog and closed his mouth with her paw. "Close your mouth, Randall." She said. "You'll catch flies."
Randall didn't say anything; he just blinked.
Angela stood next to Lucy. "Didja like it, Randall?"
Randall just numbly nodded.
"See? I told you he'd like it." Angela rubbed the Saluki's ears, who smiled proudly.
"I'M GONNA KILL HER!" Sylvia lunged at the screen, only to be held back by Waternoose grabbing her wings. "I'M GONNA WRING HER LITTLE NECK, AND BREAK HER LEGS AGAIN! I AM GONNA KILL HER!"
"Sylvia! Calm down!" Waternoose exclaimed.
"RANDALL'S SUPPOSED TO BELONG WITH ME! NOT THAT SCRAWNY HUMAN'S PET! ME! ME AND ONLY ME!"
Waternoose grabbed the shock-remote off of the table and pressed the button; the collar around Sylvia's neck glowed a bright blue as it shocked her. When he stopped, she collapsed on the floor, panting heavily.
Waternoose sighed heavily. "Please hurry, Henkan." He muttered.
One Hour Later…
Henkan came in through the closet door with a small cooler in hand; a purple octopus-like monster with hair like Albert Einstein, a white lab coat, and a bulging black doctor's bag was close behind. "Here we are." Henkan said.
"Doctor Octo-Stein, I'm so glad you could come." Waternoose greeted. "Do you have your operating supplies?"
"Right in here," The octopus monster patted his bag. "Is the patient ready?"
"Ready as I'll ever be to get my camouflage back!" Sylvia exclaimed, jumping up from her position, which was lying on her back on the floor.
"Do you have the camouflage gland?" Waternoose asked Henkan.
"Right here." Henkan handed Dr. Octo-Stein the cooler.
"Where'd you get it?" Sylvia asked curiously.
"You don't need to know." Henkan said simply, raising one eyebrow.
"Ok, Ms. Schneider, just come with me." The doctor led Sylvia into a separate room.
"Where did you get it?" Waternoose muttered.
"You don't want to know."
A half an hour later, Sylvia was ready for surgery. "Are you sure this is fool-proof?" Waternoose asked for about the fifth time. "She's an important member of my organization, aside from her craziness, and I do not want to lose her."
Henkan nodded in agreement.
"Don't worry, I've done transplants before." Dr. Octo-Stein assured. "She will be fine. In fact, this surgery may lessen her condition."
"That's a plus." Henkan smiled as the doctor left.
"Yes, but something may go wrong. You'll never know."
Henkan's fronds drooped; he knew how true that was…
Henkan ran to the hospital and climbed on the walls outside the building, turning invisible and looking in the windows. Soon, he found Yoshi's room; he was lying sick on a bed, with his parents and a doctor by the bedside. Henkan pressed his ear against the glass, trying to listen. "I'm sorry. There is nothing we can do." The doctor sighed.
"Nothing! There must be something you can do!" Yoshi's mother cried.
"I'm very sorry. No one has found a cure for this disease. It's fortunate that Yoshi had a 10-year-long happy life. I'll let you say your goodbye's, then I want you to come with me." The doctor left the room.
As Yoshi's parents said their tearful goodbyes, Henkan struggled not to cry; he knew Yoshi had been sick for the past few months, but had hoped he'd get better. Yoshi was his only human friend; he was the only human he trusted in fact.
Once the boy's parents left, Henkan transformed into a small bug, flew through the window screen, then back into his monster form. "Hey buddy." He said quietly.
Yoshi smiled weakly. "You came." He whispered.
"Of course! You're my best friend. I…I wanted to say…goodbye." He sniffed; suddenly, he punched the wall.
"Henkan! Calm down!"
"Nothing they can do, he says! There must be something! They're just not trying hard enough! They just have to try harder!"
"Henkan! Please, stop!" Yoshi exclaimed. "Someone will hear!"
The lizard monster stopped and took a few deep breaths. "I'm sorry. I'm…I'm just scared. I don't want you to die. You're my best friend. I just…" A tear slid out of his eye; he quickly brushed it away.
"Henkan…come here."
He approached his best friend's bed, laying his top hands on the bedspread. Yoshi took one of his clawed green hands in his. "It will be ok. Someday, we'll be together again. It's my time to leave; you have a long life ahead of you. It will be all right. It's ok to cry."
Sniffling, Henkan squeezed Yoshi's hand; tears fell down his cheeks, trailing from his eyes. This time, he left them be. "Can I ask one last thing? How do you say goodbye in Japanese?"
"…Sayōnara…" Yoshi whispered; his eyelids slowly closed as he sighed. He didn't inhale.
"Sayōnara…Yoshiro." Henkan whispered; he finally buried his face in his hands and sobbed.
Henkan brushed the growing tears out of his eyes; he had managed to leave the hospital before the humans noticed him. A few days later, he found Yoshi's grave; he laid a bouquet of flowers by the headstone and said one final goodbye. He left for Monstropolis, overfilled with grief; he couldn't bare to live in Japan anymore, as he hated humans. He hated them because they were unable to save his best friend.
It was in Monstropolis that he met Waternoose after he escaped. The elderly monster told him about his cousin, Randall; about how he had aided him in a plan to solve the energy crisis in Monstropolis, and had been banished to the human world. Henkan hadn't known what to think at the time; now that he knew his younger cousin had befriended a human, he felt angry and sorry for him. Humans weren't as immune to diseases as monsters were, and if luck weren't on Randall's side, he'd suffer as Henkan had.
"Henkan…are you all right?" Waternoose asked, startling the monster out of his thoughts. "You look as though you've lost your best friend."
You have no idea how accurate you are. Henkan thought. "Boss…there's something I have to tell you."
"Mr. Waternoose! Mr. Boggs!" Dr. Octo-Stein yelled from the operating room. "We have a situation!"
A/N If you're really smart, psychic, or just lucky, you'll probably recognize the boys in the sack. Hint: they made a couple of cameos in APM 2.
The idea for the security cameras...it just came to me. It seemed like a good idea for the bad guys to keep an eye on the good guys. I got the idea of Sylvia's overreacting from charlette's review. It seemed right for her, since she's obsessed with Randall and is a little crazy.
Sorry for such sadness; I planned for Yoshi to die from a disease in the first place; a disease that doesn't have a cure, sparking Henkan's hatred for humans, since the doctors couldn't cure his best friend. I looked for one, but couldn't find a specific one, so I kinda skimped on the details.
CLIFFHANGER! What went wrong? What's wrong with Sylvia? Will she survive? I dunno...JUST KIDDING XD. Thanks for all the reviews! I really appreciate it!
