A/N: Manhunt time! Sulley, Bug, Mike, Angel, and Randy are hunting for deadly fugitive Johnny Worthington. Now everyone's got some weapons and they know where Johnny's running away to, so they have the upper hand. More to come in this chapter! Enjoy!
Everyone stood behind the PNK house and they all looked at the footprints in the dirt.
"He didn't even bother covering up his tracks, like that was real smart of him" Mike said sarcastically. Bug went over to a small opening in the woods.
"Alright here's the plan, we follow the footprints, it'll lead us to Johnny" Sulley explained, they were all in favor of the plan until Bug spoke up.
"No, that's just a dummy trail, he'd never to anything THAT obvious" he then signaled them to come over to where he was standing. They all walked over to where Bug was and they paid close attention to all he was pointing out.
"Look at this. Branches are broken, leaves are stomped into the ground. He's obviously going this way, he made a decoy trail to cover up this one" Sulley and the others took in every detail that was explained. Bug lead the way and the others followed him.
"You don't think he could have gotten far, could ya?" Mike asked as he loaded his gun as he walked.
"We're trapped inside an indestructible force field, he's not going anywhere farther than this" Sulley said. As the five of them continued to walk, they noticed a rustling sound coming from the bushes and they all pointed their guns at it.
"If it's Johnny, do we shoot or not?" Randy asked.
"Shoot, definitely shoot" Bug answered as he cocked his mini Uzi and got ready to fire it. Out of the bush came out a pig that looked like Feartech's mascot with a dead two headed bird in it's mouth.
"Oh, it's just a stupid pig" Angel said, relieved that it wasn't Johnny getting ready to shoot them or something like that. Another sound came from behind them, it sounded like dead leaves being stepped on. They all turned around and pointed their guns at where the sound came from to see Johnny with a small pistol.
"Quick, everyone get behind the trees" Bug ordered with a whispered. They all his behind the trees, except for Mike who was hiding in the bushes.
"No one make any sudden movements or sounds okay?" Sulley acknowledged everyone. Bug, Randy, and Angel nodded in reply. Sulley made a clumsy mistake and stepped on a large stick and split it in half by accident. The noise caught Johnny's attention and looked towards the trees. Bug then gave Sulley and angry look.
"What happened to 'Don't make any sudden movements?' you want us to die?" Randy said with a whisper.
"Don't blame Sulley for this okay? It was an accident" Mike said in Sulley's defense. A loud bang could then be heard and a small log's bark exploded right off of it.
"Crap, he spotted us" Angel shouted, she then began firing her M4 at Johnny. Bug was also firing his mini Uzi at Johnny, hoping to his his pistol and knock the weapon out of his hands, but no avail at all. Sulley attempted to shoot an arrow into Johnny's leg with his crossbow, but that didn't work either.
"Wait, I think I've got an idea" Mike said to the others. He loaded his gun and shot one lone bullet into Johnny's leg, it was successful and he screamed out in pain.
"You maniacs! Curse you all! You're all gonna burn!" he screamed out. Bug tried to fire the gun again but no bullets came. He reloaded the gun with some spare ammunition in the bag he carried and tried to fire but was stopped by a voice.
"Stop, hold your fire!" Mike called out. Johnny ran away and fired two more bullets, but they both missed when they attempted to hit Sulley and Randy.
"Why did you let him go? We had him by a bleeding leg with a bullet in it, we almost had him" Angel said to Mike as she put her gun down.
"I hit his leg because there are dead leaves on the ground" he explained.
"Yeah, so?" Bug asked.
"So, the leaves will pick up the blood from Johnny's leg will leave a nasty little trail of blood, that's our ticket to getting Johnny" Mike said with a smirk. They then went along with Mike's plan and followed the trail of blood.
"Wait a minute, he left the woods? Why?" Angel asked confused.
"I don't know" Sulley responded. They went into the blacktop where the trail lead to and they saw an open manhole.
"Why is he going into the sewers? Mike wondered as he plugged his nose, letting them know he doesn't like the fowl stench of sewage even though there was no scent at all. Bug then looked up at the field and then hatched an idea.
"Has anyone tried to go under this thing?" he asked.
"Yeah, there were a few students with shovels who were trying to dig tunnels underneath it and try to get out, but that thing goes deep" Randy said.
"No, I mean like... deeper. Hasn't anyone tried to escape through the sewage pipes?" he asked.
"It's a possibility, I don't think anyone would actually consider escaping through the sewers" Mike said. Angel then piped in on the conversation.
"But what if the field actually cuts through the sewer and it blocks the exit route through that as well?" she made a good point, there were several escape attempts made, but they all failed. The field was considered indestructible and nothing could penetrate it, not even a bullet. It would be no surprise at all if their routes were cut off in the sewer.
"The MU sewer is connected to the sewers of Feartech. If the field doesn't go through the sewage line, he might cause even more havoc at the other school" Sulley said, realizing how bad their situation was. Feartech was Monster University's rival, but the students could all die in the hands of that madman. And it would result in one huge bloodbath.
"Should we go in there? I feel we have to"Angel asked. They all looked to one another and gave a serious look to each other and nodded. They all grabbed their guns and hopped into the sewer.
"It's so dark in here" Mike complained.
"Bug, you've got flashlights in that bag?" Angel asked.
"Yeah, some or hand held, others can attach themselves to the top of your guns" Bug said as he handed Randy a hand held flashlight since he only had two pistols and they couldn't attach themselves to small pistols. Bug attached one to his Uzi and Sulley got a hand held, Angel and Mike got flashlights that attached to their shotgun and M4. They turned their lights on and waved them all around the tunnel.
"They work" Randy said as he pointed his to the other end of the stone hallway. Sulley pointed his at the sidewalk, revealing a still fresh trail of dripping blood. No doubt it belonged to Johnny himself.
"Now what?" Angel asked.
"Stick to the plan and follow the trail to Johnny" Bug explained. They all proceeded to follow the trail of Johnny's blood. They all walked at their own pace until they saw another light that wasn't one of theirs. It was Johnny. He kept on walking and walking until he bumped into something that couldn't be seen, indeed, it was the field itself, it cut all the way though to the sewers.
"No, no" Johnny whispered as he placed his hand on the wall and the distorted wall pattern was made around his hand and the low pitched hovering noise was made while pressing his hand against the impenetrable barrier wall. He looked down to his hand to see his flashlight was shaking in his hand at it's own will. He threw it on the ground next to the wall, Johnny attempted to pick it up.
"Don't" Bug said behind him. Johnny looked behind him to see Mike, Bug, Angel, Randy, and Sulley behind him with their weapons ready, and then looked back to the flashlight, it exploded and it was nothing left but smoking batteries and springs and small pieces of dented metal and bits of the glass lens. The angry Johnny then raised his gun at them, and so did they raise their weapons to Johnny.
"You shouldn't have followed me" he growled with a low hoarse tone in his voice.
