Chapter. 36 Kicking and Screaming
After Randall slunk away, Mike whirled around and eyed up Kelsey suspiciously. "Okay, I don't know who you are or who sent you, but I just want you to know that you'll never get anything out of me or my friend."
"Are you kidding me?" Kelsey asked, "Ten minutes with Jack and you'd be singing like a canary."
"Give me one good reason why I should listen to you," Mike said, "ONE!"
Kelsey looked down and smiled, "I can help you get rid of that thing running around your ankles." Mike looked down. A small girl dressed in a monster costume with brown hair and pigtails looked up at them with an adorable smile. "Step into my office," Mike said pulling them into a room.
Sulley flicked the light switch on while Emma looked around at their surroundings. "Your office is a broom closet?"
"We're low budget okay," Mike said defensively, "Now how do we get rid of the kid."
"Aww why would you want to get rid of her?" Emma asked. The two had been engaged in a game of peekaboo. "She's lots of fun!"
"She likes playing with Mike's teddy monster," Sulley said fondly, "It's so cute!"
"Hey!" Mike interrupted, "Focus! You're not going to whip out a billfold and start showing baby pictures are you?"
"We're looking for a door," Kelsey said directly.
"Well," Mike said with a huge salesman like smile, "What type are you looking for? We have screen doors, barn doors, oak doors, metal doors, glass doors, condors, labradors..."
"We're looking for one specific door," Kelsey interupted.
"What?!" Mike cried, "That's stupid! Do you know how many doors are in this factory? It would take years!"
"If it's so stupid then why are you two chuckleheads trying to do the same thing?!" Kelsey demanded.
Sulley and Mike exchanged glances awkwardly, "Touche!" Mike said, "What's your plan?"
"You help us find our door, we'll help you find yours," Kelsey said.
"Done." The two shook on it.
"We'd better get started," Kelsey said, "Come on, Emma. Emma?"
"Boo?" Sulley cried. The door to the janitor's closet hung open. It was too late. They were gone.

"I'm getting very sick of rescuing your cousin," Jack grumbled as they tore down the hallways, "You should teach the kid how to use a sword."
"No way!" Kelsey cried, "She's only six years old!"
"Pah!" Jack muttered, "When I was six years old I was wanted on three continents. The least she could do was learn how to use a sword."
"No!"
"Suit yourself," Jack grumbled, "But it would save you quite a bit of hassle!"
"Look!" Kelsey cried, "Let's split up. We can cover more ground. You two go that way, Will, Jack and I will go this way."
The monsters nodded and took off down the opposite corridor. "Let's hope they haven't gotten into too much mischief," Kelsey said with a sigh.

Emma scrambled after Boo as she had wandered back out into the hallway. "Come back Boo!" she cried, "We don't have time for this! Kelsey is gonna get really mad!" The two joined a small bunch of monster children touring the factory. Emma lunged forwards and caught Boo in her arms. "Gotcha!" she cried triumphantly as Boo squirmed in her arms. "Now let's get back and find the others." Emma struggled to walk back the way she came with Boo wriggling in her grip. "Knock it off!" Emma ordered, "We don't have time for this!" Boo scowled and attempted to free her arm. Emma let out a heavy sigh, "Kelsey makes this babysitting thing look a lot easier than it is!"
"Well, if it isn't the little lady out for a stroll? Is it take your monster to work day today?" Emma whirled around in surprise. Standing over them was a glowing blue figure carved out of crystal.
"Rourke!" Emma cried.
"Very good, sweetheart," he said with a sharklike grin. He took a few steps closer, "So whaddya say we go visit your cousin?"
Emma's brow furrowed angrily, "I say no!"
Rourke chuckled, "I'm not really giving you a choice, honey. Let's go!"
"No!" Emma said stubbornly.
"What are you gonna do?" Rourke asked, "You're just a little girl."
"I'm not little!"
"A little puny girl!"
"I'm not puny!" Emma squealed angrily. As she yelled the lights above them flickered. "That's it!" Emma cried. "You're right, Mr. Rourke. I am a little girl! I'm a kid. And if I scream..." Emma drew a deep breath and let out a loud scream. Rourke winced and threw his hands over her crystallized ears. Emma's scream caused a power surge. The light bulbs above them burst and the hallway plunged into darkness. Emma ran forwards between Rourke's legs. She could feel him reach for her, but he couldn't find her in the dark. Emma raced down a corner slipping and sliding as she did. Unfortunately, Boo took advantage of the darkness. She wiggled out of Emma's grasp and vanished in the black hallway. "Boo!" Emma yelled in annoyance, "You're not helping things!" The lights were slowly coming back on. Monsters were racing around in the dark trying to figure out what had caused the power surge. Emma had to hide. She tore down the hallway and flung open the nearest door she could find.
Emma shivered inside. It was dark and cold. She must be in a room near the basement. She stumbled along in the darkness trying to find a lightswitch. It was then that she heard voices.
"Say hello to the scream extractor," Randall said caressing a rather fearsome looking machine.
"Hello," Mike said awkwardly.
"Uh oh!" Emma muttered, "This could be a problem."
"Where is it you one eyed little cretin?!" Randall bellowed angrily.
"First of all its creetin!" Mike said, "If you're going to threaten me at least do it properly. And second of all you're nuts!"
"I'll say!" Emma piped.
Randall whirled around suddenly. "Oops," Emma muttered.
"You little rat!" Randall roared lunging after her.
Emma backed away from Randall as he slunk around her. "What did you think you were going to do? Something bold and heroic?"
Emma backed into the wall, "Well, er ya know... kids are the most toxic thing on the planet!"
Randall snickered, "I'll think I'll take my chances...ARGH!"
Emma had kicked Randall in the stomach so hard he turned a bright shade of pink. She scurried out of his way down towards Mike. "Hold on, Mikey!" she whispered attempting to break his bonds.
"Watch out!" Mike cried suddenly. Randall lunged at Emma. Emma ducked quickly and Randall hit the world. Randall reared his head. Emma gave him a quick punch to the head. He turned green with yellow stripes. Emma chuckled and did it again. This time he was orange. She did it again. This time he was bright yellow with red polka dots. Suddenly, his hands snatched out. He held Emma down with all four of them and glared at her. "Let's see how many colors, I can make you turn!"
"AHHHHH!" Emma screamed again. The lights flickered again. Emma took advantage of the darkness and kicked Randall again. Randall screamed and turned glow in the dark green this time. Emma plopped to the ground and was about to scurry out. She paused and gripped Randall's tail and tied it down to one end of the scream extractor. The lights turned back on and Randall glared at her. Emma was sitting in the operator's chair. She whirled around.
Randall suddenly realized what she was going to do. She was going to use his own machine against him! "Hey, kid can't we talk about this."
Mike laughed, "I don't think she's in much of a talking mood."
At that moment Sulley and Boo burst into the room. "Mike!" Sulley cried, "Are you alright?"
"Oh, me I'm fine," Mike said, "You know me and Emma were just sitting here having a latte with Randall. We were discussing the latest edition of Scream monthly and... OF COURSE I'M NOT ALRIGHT! GET ME OUT OF HERE!"

Kelsey and the others had been running down the hallways when a scream echoed down the corridors. The lights suddenly went dead. "Oh great!" Kelsey groaned, "Just what I need! A power shortage!"
The lights came on again a few minutes later. "That was Emma!" Jack declared, "I'd bet me last bottle of rum on it!"
"Come on!" Kelsey cried, "Let's go get her!"
"You have your own issues to worry about!" Stepping out of the shadows was Hook.
Kelsey scowled at him, "I really don't have time for this!"
"We have a score to settle," Hook snarled, "Let's settle it now! Mano a Mano!"
"Womano!" Kelsey retorted.
"Whatever."
Kelsey whipped out her sword, but surprisingly enough Jack stepped in front of her. "Hold on, Governor," Jack interrupted. He approached Hook with his usual swagger, "It would seem to me, Mate that your problem doesn't lie with Whelp no. 2."
"It doesn't?" Hook asked suspiciously, "What's your game?!"
"No game," Jack said, "It just seems to me that if I didn't bring her aboard you would have never met her in the first place. You were chasing after me. When you met her." Jack drew his own sword, "I believe we always knew it would come to this. There's only enough room in the ocean for one pirate lord. That would be me. Whatsay we settle this ourselves. Without involving the whelps? What say you to that?"
"Jack!" Will cried, "What are you thinking?!"
"Shh!" Jack hushed, "Well, what do you say mate? One climactic battle for our lives and for supreme executive power over the ocean without the whelps, savvy?"
Hook grinned wickedly, "Savvy!"
"Not savvy!" Kelsey interrupted, "You can't go trading yourself, Jack!"
"You had no problem when Will did it," Jack snapped. He looked at Will and ordered, "Get out of here!"
"No," Will said shaking his head.
"Please get her out of here?" Jack begged.
"No," Will cried, "Besides, she wants to stay! How am I supposed to get her out of here."
"Beat her over the head with a paddle. That's proved effective in the past," Jack muttered.
"Enough foolishness!" Hook lunged at Jack with his sword. Jack sidestepped quickly and yelled at Kelsey, "You have to find your cousin before Randall does! Now move it!"
Kelsey tore away from Jack and seized Sophia's hand. The trio ran down the hallway while Jack and Hook were left to decide the fate of The Ocean.
