A/N: Sorry I took so long, but after 3 months, I finally have the 2nd chapter ready. And this time, there would be a couple of special guests from the "Destroy All Humans" franchise. I think you might know who they are when you read it (at least those of you who know about it). Either way, enjoy. :)
Monsters VS. Aliens
Chapter 2: Meet the Monsters
Sometime later, an alarm of sorts rang out.
"Honey, could you hit the snooze? Baby, why did you set the alarm? We're on our honeymoon.", Susan spoke as she turned and reached out before she then woke up just in time to fall off her apparent bed before standing up to notice a red light flashing from above.
"Hello? What's going on?", Susan puzzled before the bed was suddenly moved into the wall and the apparent wall closed with the room going down before abruptly stopping after a moment with the red light ceasing its flash before retreating upward with the wall opening up, revealing a sort of table and chair before the wall behind Susan pushed her off the room, frightening her as she tried to scoot back, but to no avail until…the wall stops, giving Susan time to take a deep breath and stand up before walking forward.
"Hello?", Susan spoke before a gate descended in front of the wall and closed.
By that point, Susan met a lot of familiar faces.
"Susan?", Matt asked before Susan turned to see him.
"Matt! You're really here?", Susan asked in relief.
"Yeah. But apparently, I didn't come alone.", Matt responded as Susan also noticed Wendy, Tamara, and Marilyn, who, in turn, noticed her.
"Susa!", the trio of sister shouted before they ran to Susan and hugged her.
"Wendy? Tamara? Marilyn?! You're all here, too?!", Susan asked in surprise as the trio hugged her, one of which accidentally stepped on a chair, bending it.
"Oops. My bad.", Wendy apologized.
"Wait. Why are the table and chair so small? And where's Carolyn?", Susan puzzled.
"I don't know for sure yet. But I do know one thing. We need to find Carolyn and get her back. Or at the very least make sure she's all right.", Matt responded before they all heard voices.
"Are they just legs? Did they capture giant pairs of legs?", someone spoke.
"Silence, B.O.B.! They'll hear us!", someone else whispered urgently.
"How? Legs don't have ears.", someone responded.
"Just shush!", someone else responded.
"You think someone is there?", Wendy puzzled.
"Could be. I'll go check just to be safe.", Matt responded before going over to notice a slightly opened gate, showing a slightly darkened area where what appeared to be a cockroach and blob were watching before they hid as Matt spoke.
"Hello? Is there someone there? If anyone else is here at all, could you please tell me where we are?", Matt asked before a sort of valve descended and spurted out what appeared to be a gooey substance before then spitting out 5 spoons for each giant and then retreating back up to the ceiling before the 5 giants walked over to the pile and each pick up a spoon.
"Is that thing even edible?", Marilyn asked before they heard fast footsteps as a sort of cockroach-like creature passed by the 5 giants, making them, turn around quickly.
"Hello? What was that?", Tamara asked before they all turned after hearing the footsteps again.
After a moment, a sort of man with a cockroach head peked out form the pile and introduced himself.
"Hello.", the being greeted sophisticatedly, surprising Matt, while affecting Susan and her sisters even more so.
"Ew!", Susan exclaimed before tyring to hit the cockroach man, but to no avail as he dodged the first two times.
"Will you stop...?! Careful!", the man with a cockroach head urged before Susan then whacked him with a spoon only for him to grab onto it.
"Please, madam! Stop! Doing! That!", the being exclaimed as he then repeatedly got banged against the table before he finally let go, now quite disoriented before he started to recover.
"Whatever mad scientist made you, he really went all out.", the being spoke while spinning before tipping down forwards.
"Look…, cockroach man.", Matt began.
"Actually, it's Dr. Cockroach. Ph D.", Dr. Cockroach responded.
"Whatever. Anyway, I can assure you, no mad scientist made us.", Matt responded.
"You can talk.", Wendy spoke in surprise as she and the others backed away before Marilyn slipped on something and fell down with Susan and the others rushing to her.
"Are you okay?", Susan asked.
"Yeah. I think so. Just slipped on some…blue goo?", Marilyn responded as she then brushed the goo off her only to notice it forming an eye and mouth before he spoke.
"Hi, there!", the blob greeted before Marilyn reacted in disgust and chucked him over to the table, causing the blob's bottom half to separate from his upper half.
"Oh! My back! Just kidding. I don't have a back!", B.O.B. assured before laughing as he then went back on top of his lower half.
"Forgive him, but as you can see, he has no brain.", Dr. Cockroach stated.
"Turns out you don't need one. Totally overrated! As a matter of fact, I don't even...", B.O.B. began before he stopped breathing, making him choke.
"I forgot how to breathe! Don't know how to breathe! Help me, Dr. Cockroach! Help!", B.O.B. panicked as his eye got out of the blob and went on top of his head.
"Suck in, B.O.B.", Dr. Cockroach suggested before B.O.B. then did so and breathed out.
"Oh, thanks, Doc. You're a lifesaver.", B.O.B. sighed in relief.
"That is a rather odd bunch of friends.", Matt spoke before a sort of half ape half fish creature named the Missing Link, or Link for short, hung upside down.
"Wow, look at you. I know what you're thinking. First day in prison, you want to take down the toughest guy in the yard. Well, I'd like to see you try. Ninja!", the creature spoke as he rolled off Matt and did several "attacks", puzzling the 5 giants before winding up breaking his back, or at least cracking it painfully, upside down and landing on the ground.
"No. Clearly, that was not what I was thinking at all.", Matt responded.
"Gosh. Look, they're speechless. Even her.", Link spoke as he straightened it back up.
"Her?", B.O.B. puzzled.
"Yes, B.O.B.! We are in the presence of the rare female monster. 4 out of 5 of them at that.", Dr. Cockroach responded.
"No way! They're all boys. Look at their boobies.", B.O.B. responded, pointing to the others.
"Yeah, I don't know how to respond to this.", Wendy responded.
"We need to have a talk.", Link spoke to B.O.B. as he put his hand on the blob.
"Gentlemen, I'm afraid we are not making a very good first impression.", Dr. Cockroach spoke.
"At least I'm talking. First new monster in years, we couldn't get a wolf man or a mummy. Just, you know, somebody to play cards with.", Link responded before he and the 2 other monsters turned to the 5 giants.
"Might we ask your names, madam?", Dr. Cockroach asked.
"Susan.", Susan responded.
"Matt.", Matt added.
"Wendy.", Wendy added.
"Tamara.", Tamara added.
"Marilyn.", Marilyn added.
"No, no, no. We mean like your monster names. Like, what do people scream when they see you coming? You know, like, "Look out! Here comes...!"", B.O.B. began.
"Susan.", Susan repeated.
"Matt.", Matt repeated.
"Wendy.", Wendy repeated.
"Tamara.", Tamara repeated.
"Marilyn.", Marilyn repeated with the last two saying their names in unison.
"Really?", Dr. Cockroach puzzled.
"Susan! Ooh. I just scared myself. That is scary.", B.O.B. grinned.
"No. Those were our names before we got turned into these…things. And right now, I hope they still are.", Matt responded before a beeping noise sounded.
"Yes! Eat times.", Link shouted before he and the other 2 went to a small table with a valve appearing and dishing out several raw fish for Link to eat, disgusting Dr. Cockroach.
"That is repulsive!", Dr. Cockroach spoke before a pile of garbage descended down in front of him on the table.
"Ah! An old slipper!", Dr. Cockroach spoke excitedly before picking one up and whacking B.O.B.'s hand off one of the trash bits before a piece of ham was shot towards B.O.B., who then sucked in the ham and then started digesting it, leaving only a bone inside.
"Well, I guess we know what the small table was for.", Matt spoke.
"Oh, please, tell me this isn't real. Please tell me I had a nervous breakdown at the wedding, and now I'm in a mental hospital on medication that's giving me hallucinations.", Susan spoke in weariness while backing away before stopping when she felt something behind her.
"Uh, Susan…?", Wendy spoke.
"I don't think that's a hallucination.", Wendy spoke in fear before Susan looked up and saw a giant insect, who roared, prompting a loud scream from 4 out of 5 giants before they ran in a panic while Matt was quite surprised.
"Don't scare Insectosaurus! He's gonna pee himself, then we'll all be in trouble.", Link warned.
"Just how many of you guys are there?", Matt puzzled.
"Well, just me, Insecto, here, the doc, and B.O.B. Why do you ask?", Link responded.
"Every room has a door! There's gotta be a door here! Where's the door?", Tamara panicked as she, Susan, Marilyn, and Wendy looked around frantically.
"It's OK, buddy. Don't worry about it. Who's a handsome bug, huh? You like it when I rub your tummy?", Link asked as he climbed up Insectosaurus, who then shook his leg joyfully.
"Please! Somebody! We don't belong here! Let us out!", Susan shouted as she started banging on the walls after running toward one.
"Hey, hey, that is not a good idea.", Link warned.
"Yeah, and freaking out like that isn't helping matters, either.", Matt agreed.
"LET US OUT!", Susan shouted before a wall opened up, revealing two red lights in the dark.
"This has gone on long enough!", the disguised voice spoke, worrying Susan as she gasped in fright before both the source, a girl with a blonde ponytail, and a sort of general, both of which have jet packs, flew into the light, revealing the source to actually be a person in a black trench coat, mask, and hat.
"Honestly, though. How much longer do you plan on banging the walls demanding to be let out in a state of panic? Your shouting is grating enough as it is.", the source responded as the took the mask off, revealing the source's face to be that of a woman's with her voice now sounding normal, much to Susan's relief.
"Monsters, get back in your cells.", the general spoke before the 3 monsters left with B.O.B. picking up the food on the table before all 3 went to their cells with Insectosaurus being led back inside its own cell via bright light.
"Wow. You girls are giants? And this guy, too? You all look so cool!", Mindy spoke in awe.
"Aw. Thanks.", Wendy grinned.
"Yeah, she has a thing for monsters like you.", the general spoke.
"I can see that.", Matt responded.
"Oh, thank goodness. Real people. You are real people, right? Not one of those half-person, half-machine, you know, whatever you call those things?", Susan asked cautiously.
"You mean cyborgs?", the woman asked.
"Oh, no! You're cyborgs?!", Susan shouted.
"Susan, they don't look like cyborgs. If they did, they would be mostly made of metal.", Matt assured.
"Oh.", Susan responded.
"Madam, I assure you, I am not a cyborg and neither are they. The name is General W.R. Monger. This is Silhouette, and this is Mindy Peters. We're in charge of this facility. Now, follow us. It's time for your orientation.", Monger spoke as they flew forwards before a door opened, showing an apparent area of lots of people working with a couple choppers flying in as well before Susan, Matt and the others looked down to notice that the platform they're on started moving as Monger spoke first.
"In 1950, it was decided that Jane and Joe Public could not handle the truth about monsters, and should focus on more important things, like paying taxes. So, the government convinced the world monsters were stuff of myth and legend and then locked them away in this year facility.", Monger spoke before the platform stopped seemingly just on the edge with the gate closing and the platform then moving to its left.
"But we're not monsters! We're just regular people. We're not a danger to anyone or anything.", Susan argued before she inadvertently hit the chopper, causing it to crash down on the platform with another copter descending downward near it.
"Don't let her get me!", the pilot spoke before Silhouette gave a smug glare toward Susan.
"You were saying?", Silhouette spoke.
"Sorry.", Susan apologized before the platform started moving up and eventually slowed to a stop as the gates opened with a cow mooing as it was being carried by a chopper passing by the 5 giants.
"How long are we gonna be here?", Wendy asked.
"Indefinitely.", Monger responded.
"Can I contact my parents?", Susan asked.
"No.", Silhouette refused.
"Derek?", Susan asked.
"Negative.", Monger replied.
"Do they at least know where we are?", Tamara asked.
"No, and they never will! This place is an X file, wrapped in a cover-up and deep-fried in a paranoid conspiracy.", Monger responded.
"In fact, there will be zero contact with the outside world.", Silhouette added before the 5 giants were brought to a sort of holding area where first, they saw a sad and worried Carolyn in a sort of Quarantine lab where she was being studied by all sorts of people in hazmat suits checking on her.
"Susan…? Matt?", Carolyn spoke in worry.
"Carolyn…", Susan spoke fondly with Matt and the others just as worried.
Then, they came across Insectosaurus, who roared happily upon seeing them before licking the glass wall with the 5 then seeing Link next.
"...seven, eight. 999, 1,000. I can't believe I did ten sets.", Link spoke as he was lifting weights underwater before then coming across B.O.B., who laughed after bouncing his ball a few times before bouncing his own eye, which got back in, and then seeing Dr. Cockroach working on a sort of experiment.
"Susan! Matt! And Wendy, Tamara, and Marilyn, too! You 5 wouldn't happen to have any uranium on you? I just need a smidge.", Dr. Cockroach asked.
"I don't think we have that.", Matt responded before Silhouette spoke through her walkie talkie.
"Rescind Dr. Cockroach's toy box privileges immediately.", Silhouette ordered before a cell opened up before Susan, Matt, Mary, Tamara, and Marilyn.
"We had the prison psychologist redecorate your cell. Try to keep you all calm-like.", Monger assured.
"Yeah, but you know that poster is too small, right?", Matt responded.
"Yeah. Like, it looks so sad.", Mindy responded.
"What do you mean? The cat or the poster?", Monger puzzled.
"I think you might know.", Mindy responded.
"But I don't want a poster. I want a real kitten hanging from a real tree. I want to go home.", Susan spoke sadly.
"Oh. Come on, little Debbie, please don't cry. It makes my knees hurt.", Monger spoke.
"Her name is Susan.", Matt corrected.
"Whatever. Anyway, don't think of this as a prison. Think of it as hotel you never leave because it's locked from the outside!", Monger responded.
"But isn't that, like, the exact definition of a pri…", Mindy began before Silhouette cleared her throat to stop her.
"It's okay. We get it.", Marilyn responded.
"Oh, and one other thing. The government has changed your names to Ginormica, Gigantor, Giganta, Gigantoma, and Gigantama, and in that order. And as for the girl in the quarantine lab? She's named Radioactive Girl, now.", Monger responded while pointing to Susan, Matt, Tamara, Marilyn, and Wendy in that order before the cell door closed.
"Well… I guess it doesn't seem so bad. I mean we could always put more stuff in here and…, Oh, wait. What if they're not big enough?", Gigantoma spoke before Ginormica eventually went to a corner, knelt down, and started crying.
"Ah, who am I kidding? It's terrible here.", Gigantoma sighed before Gigantor went over to Ginormica and knelt down to comfort her as he hugged her.
"Matt…?", Ginormica asked after calming down some with Matt hugging her.
"Don't worry. We know where Radioactive Gi.. I mean Carolyn is, so she's safe. I hope. But either, way, we'll figure out something that'll change us back so we can all get out of here.", Matt assured.
"Really?", Susan asked hopefully.
"Yeah. We'll get out of there someday. I just know it.", Matt assured, making Susan grin with hope and placed her head on her knees with a sigh.
"I hope you're right.", Susan spoke.
A/N: Looks like they're all going through a rough patch. In a weird situation like this, who wouldn't? But at least there's someone giving comfort to her so that she may have more than enough strength to move on with determination to find a way to turn things around. Somehow… I guess time will tell where this is headed form here what with Crypto and Pox's involvement and all. Until next time. :)
