Chapter 50

"Wait! How'd we take a wrong turn?" question Mike.

When the group pass through the door, it was not a little girl's room, but a dirty electrical factory with some electrical panels on the walls.

"Maybe it's a rift of dimensions.", Happy suggested.

"I don't think that's it.", sighed Charle.

"Who cares?"

Everyone turned and saw eyes and a mouth on the door. Then, it's entire body appeared on the door, it was the purple monster.

"All that matters...is that it's the last turn that you losers are ever gonna take.", he said while smirking.

"What you'd say?!", asked an angry Natsu.

"Easy.", said Erza.

"Randall?!", said a shocked Sulley.

"Who's he?", asked Sora.

"A creep we banished for trying to collect screams by force."

"What!?", said a shocked Lucy.

"That's awful!", said Wendy.

"Yeah. And he used to be Boo's scarer.", he said while Boo gave a scary growl at Randall.

"With that ability to blend in anything, that's creepy.", said Lucy.

"How did you even get back here?", asked Mike. "The door we sent you through is sawdust!"

"Yeah, and I almost got turned into somebody's wallet.", said Randall.

Natsu and Gray giggled. Randall responded by giving them a sour look.

He sighed and continued speaking. "Lucky for me, a real nice guy came along and fixed the door. So here I am."

"Someone fixed the door?", question Gajeel.

"Yeah. And starting today, I'm numero uno! Top of the leaderboard, baby.", he said as he came up to Mike.

"Ha! You, a top laugh collector?", said an amused Mike while he lightly punched Randall's stomach. "In your dreams, Randall. My laugh totals are off the charts."

"And you don't look like a funny guy.", said Happy.

"Who said anything about collecting laughs?", he said.

"What do you mean by that?", asked a cautious Erza.

"I'm after negative emotions."

Everyone had a shock look on their faces.

"Negative Emotions?", said a surprised Sora

"Why do you want negative emotions?", asked Wendy as she came up to him.

"Aw. The little dragon girl is asking why? Well, it's because they are the most powerful source than laughter. It worked well before when the company was collecting screams.", He said as he pinched Wendy's cheek. She responded by moving away from him while Natsu and Gray were about to attack him, but were stop by Erza. "And my new friends have kindly invaded the factory to get 'em for me."

"He's gotta know.", said Donald to Goofy.

"Yeah, Organization XIII must be helpin' him.", said Goofy.

"I bet he knows who we are too.", said Laxus.

"Laughter's just not sustainable.", continued Randall. "Once junior chorts his last chortle, you've gotta start over. But negative energy? Especially sadness? Give 'em something that really breaks their little hearts, and they'll stay sad forever. We'll never have to worry about energy again."

"We're not gonna let you hurt anyone like that!", said Sora as he summon his Keyblade, making Randall a little annoyed. "Not you or your little Unversed helpers!"

"That's right!", said Wendy. "We'll stop you!"

"Just try and stop me. You'll see soon enough.", said a relaxed Randall. "I am gonna be a legend around this place."

Natsu went up to him and punched his face, knocking him against the wall.

"What the hell?!", said a furious Randall.

"This guy is scum!", said Natsu as he was hold back by Lucy.

"You're gonna be sorry when you deal with my friends!"

"Why don't you just be a man and fight, you stupid big mouth!"

"How dare you insult me! You will pay for this, you bastard!" Randall then took a deep breath and calm down. He then smirked. "Now, consider your careers officially over."

"What?!", said a surprised and angry Mike.

"And that goes for the rest of you, too.", he said before he disappeared.

"Hey!", said Sora.

Natsu sniffed the air but he then looked annoyed. "Big mouth got away.", he said.

"Where'd he go?"

The speakers in the factory were turned on and Randall's voice can be heard.

We're in control of this factory now.", he said. "And I suggested a few improvements-some real doozies I just know you're gonna love. In fact, you're not getting out of here alive."

"Oh yeah? I like to see you try. Bring it on, big mouth!", shouted Natsu.

"That weasel means business!", said a serious Mike. "He'll never quit."

"We have got to get Boo to safety first.", said Sulley. "Then, we can take care of Randall."

"But how do we do that?", asked Juvia.

"We can split up.", suggested Happy.

"But we don't know this place.", said Gray. "How will we know if one area we find is safe?"

"Plus, this place is teaming with traps.", said Lily. "This place will never be safe if that Randall is running."

"That's right, we need to stick together.", said Erza.

Sulley then faced Wendy and said, "Wendy, can you protect Boo. These guys are going to need help."

"Of course!", said Wendy as Sulley handed Boo to her.

"Alright. Time to find a way out!"

Everyone nodded and proceeded through the factory.

"Enjoy what's left of your miserable lives.", said Randall.

While everyone ventured through the factory, Heartlesses and Unversed appeared like wildfire and kept attacking them. But everyone easily defeated them. They tried to attack Boo but they were always defeated by Wendy's Sky Magic and Sulley's strength.

"Why won't you just fail already?!", said Randall.

"Never!", shouted Natsu.

They all entered into what appears to be a large room with a long conveyor belt. On the belt were large metal parts and off the belt were skinny machines on each side. Suddenly, one of the machines was faceing Sora, Donald, and Goofy and a red glow was coming from the machine. When it got a lock on them, it immediately fired a laser at them. Luckly, the trio dodged the attack, leaving a heated mark on the floor.

"A laser?!", said a surprised Natsu.

"I guess that's it.", said Gajeel. "I don't know what they are. But they sure look tasty."

"Hey! What's with the machines?", wondered Mike. "They've gone totally bonkers!"

"There's no way we can take Boo through here safely."

Boo then hugged Wendy and gave a small worried sound.

"This must be what Randall meant by 'improvements'.", said Sulley.

"Bad ones!", said Donald.

"So what are we gonna do?", asked Happy.

"Sulley, maybe you and Mike should take Boo someplace that's safe.", said Goofy.

"Right.", he replied.

"We'll find a way to turn these lasers off.", said Erza as she requip into her Adamantium Armor. "Do you know how?"

"If you find the contraption controlling those things and smashed it, that should do the trick.", said Mike.

While looking on the , Goofy said, "Maybe we can use the parts here to avoid the lasers."

"Lucy, Wendy, Juvia, Happy, and Charle. Get behind me.", said Erza as she got onto the conveyor belt. They all got on and hid behind Erza, who had her shield up and it protect them from the lasers. The rest then hid underneath the parts that were on the belt.

Erza continued to move forward slowly while the lasers hit her shield, but the lasers didn't make a dent on it. Meanwhile, the others were hiding underneath the metal parts to block the lasers. When a laser past them, they would move to the next part in front. They continued this method until they saw a electrical panel on the second floor behind a fence.

"I see a machine up there in the cage past the stairs.", said Goofy.

"Yeah! Let's smash it!", said Donald.

"Leave it to me!", said Natsu as he got off from the and ran towards the machine.

"Hey, wait for us!", shouted Lucy as everyone got off of the conveyor belt.

When Natsu reached the machine, he punched it hard, leaving a large dent into the machine. After that, the lasers immediately turned off.

Sulley and Mike stuck their head out to check the area. "Coast is clear. Go!", he said and the two of them ran after the group with Boo.

The speakers came on and Randall said, "Yeah, well, that was just a warm-up. The real fun's just starting!"

"You sure?", asked Happy.

"Shut up, you stupid cat. It's only a matter of time..."

The group then continued through the factory. Eventually they reached an area with an elevator. Sora went up to the elevator and looked at it with disappointment.

"Great. The power's out again.", said Sora. "Do you think you can fix it Laxus?"

"That depends if I accidently blow it up with my power.", he said.

"Okay! We know what to do.", said Mike as he looked around the room. "Gotta find…" He then stopped when he saw a door with four long skinny windows and a sign that saids 'Painting Boothe'. "Bingo!"

Sulley looked confused. "Uh, Mike? How's that supposed to help?", he asked as Mike ran towards the door.

Mike stopped and chuckled. He then faced Sulley and made a 'come here' jester with a smile. Mike the whispered something to Sulley's ear.

Sulley nodded and said, "Heh, that's good!"

"What did he say?", asked Juvia.

Natsu, Wendy, Gajeel, and Laxus nodded as well. "Now that's a good plan.", said Laxus.

"What did he say?", asked Happy.

"You'll see.", said Gajeel.

"Yep, take it away!", said Mike as he started to walk away.

"Nice try, Mikey.", said Sulley as he grabbed Mike's headed and dragged him towards the door with him. "I'm not doin' this alone!"

Mike looked confused and then panicked. He said, "Hey! You, not me. C'mon… Sulley!"

The doors open and Mike panicked even more by trying to make Sulley let go. "No. Stop! Sul-ley! Not what I had in mind!" The doors then closed.

The lights inside the room were turned on brightly and there was noise coming from the room. Everyone stood there and watched the door. Then there was a large bell ring and the doors opened. Mike and Sulley both came out but they were covered in blue and pink paint. Mike looked annoyed while Sulley looked fine. Sulley lightly punched Mike in the shoulder and chuckled, but still looked mad.

Everyone then immediately laughed at them.

"You're pink and blue!", said Natsu.

"Aye, sir!", said Happy.

"Shut up!", shouted Mike.

Then lights from the elevator immediately turned on. Sora stopped laughing and looked at the elevator.

"It's on! Nice work, guys!", he said.

"You better find a way to get this paint off of me!", said Mike.

"Relax.", said Sulley. "Let's continue forward."

Everyone the went on the elevator. When everyone got on, Sora pushed the button on the machine. The doors closed and the elevator started to go up. All of the Dragon Slayers immediately became sick.

"Get us... off this thing…", said a sickly Natsu.

"Yeah...what he said.", said Laxus.

"We can't take it…", said both Gajeel and Wendy.

"So that's why they can't ride the doors.", said Mike. "We're almost to the top. So don't worry."

All four of them continued to grone loudly.
