A Monster's Will
Chapter 4
Just a few weeks later, the monsters are having food at the table. Alex looks at his ring before sighing. He still misses home along with his family.
"Hey, Alex. Can I have your sandwich since you're not eating it?" B.O.B asks.
"B.O.B, please let the boy eat." Dr. Cockroach said.
Susan sees the young man, "Are you alright?"
"Yeah, I'm alright, Susan. I just miss home that's all." Alex replied.
"All I wanted to do I go back to Modesto so I can marry Derek, but now I am here not as a monster but as a prisoner as well." Susan said before throwing her spoon at the wall.
"I'll get you a new spoon." Alex said.
"I don't want a new spoon. I want out." Susan said, before pulling the spoon off the wall. It suddenly opens up a secret hallway. She and Alex were amazed to see a way out.
"Looks like that spoon has opened us a way out." Link said.
Susan and Alex look at each other before looking at the open doorway.
"I don't know where it leads us, but it is our only way out. You ready to go back home, Susan?" Alex asks her.
"Yes, I am, Alex. I can't wait to get back to Modesto" Susan replied.
Just as the two were about to leave, Dr. Cockroach stops them, "Wait! You two will need my latest inventions... Muahahaha!" The two look in confusion before the scientist hands them communications, "They're communication devices."
Alex and Susan were given a device and inserted them on their right ears.
"Comfy." Alex said.
"Let's go, Alex." Susan said as she and Alex begin to make a run for it.
They started to make a run to escape from prison.
Meanwhile, an employee alerts General Monger.
"General. The monsters are attempting to escape from prison. What should we do?" He asks.
"Son, I did not spend the last 50 years having these monsters locked up. Bring out the US Avenger!" Monger ordered.
Back in the large hallway, Susan is running when she slips on two jeeps like roller skates.
"Oh no! What do I do?" she asks.
"How should I know, Susan? I'm a scientist, not a roller derby enthusiasm." Dr. Cockroach said.
"Ginormica and Green Lantern are entering Sector 7. Seal all exits!" Monger ordered.
"Susan! Alex! You have to get out of there! The doors are closing!" Cockroach said.
"Ring, find us a way out of here!" Alex said to the ring.
"Follow the line." The ring replied.
"Susan, follow me!" Alex said to the giant woman.
The two reach out to a large open cavern. Susan looks at her "roller skates" and now starts to get the hang of it.
"You sure know how to handle those?" Alex asks Susan.
"Let's how you roller boogie." Susan replied.
"You should be miles apart from trouble." Dr Cockroach said to them via radio.
"Warning! Large contact detected." The ring alerts.
"Large contact?" Susan asks in confusion.
Just then a giant robot on treaded wheels with large arms and claws arrived.
"Target Ginormica and Green Lantern!" It said.
"Uh oh!" Susan said.
"Miles away eh, doc?" Link ask.
"Well didn't say miles apart." Dr. Cockroach replied back.
"Follow me!" Alex said to Susan. He leads her through the pathway trying to find a way out of the facility. Soon they reach a large portion of the facility like an arena before the US Avenger arrives.
"If we can't outrun it, then we have to destroy it!" Alex said.
"What?" Susan asked in confusion.
"I think this thing is sent by General Monger to catch us. We better destroy it or we are not going home." Alex said.
"Target acquired! Firing lasers!" The US Avenger said before shooting yellow lasers while spinning around like a top.
"Susan, duck!" Alex alerted.
Susan sees the lasers before ducking down to avoid the spinning lasers. The US Avenger spins faster before stopping. Then three robots about Susan's size approach her.
"Look out!" Alex shouted to Susan.
Susan sees them before she kicks one of them towards the US Avenger, damaging it. Then she does it again to the second and the third robot. The large robot shoots a green laser and Susan jumps and spins like a ballerina in the air before landing on her feet. Alex was amazed about it.
"Wow." He said in awe.
"Missiles armed! Firing!" The US Avenger said before firing three missiles towards Susan.
Susan sees them approaching her before using her skills. She spins kicks the first missile. Next, she leaps and back kicks the second one. Then she grabs the third one before throwing it back at the giant robot. The missiles strike the robot, damaging it.
"Alex, see if you can create something that can destroy the robot." Susan said to him.
Alex thinks about it before he creates the terrifying German V1 Flying Bomb. He throws and controls the construct to destroy the robot. The engine makes Susan cover her ears before the flying bomb strikes and the explosion rips the US Avenger in half.
"Well done, Susan and Alex. You have destroyed the robot. Now we are blowing this popsicle stand!" Dr. Cockroach said.
"How did you learn how to do that with those moves?" Alex asks.
"Well, I did some gymnastics back in high school." Susan replied, Anyway, you ready to go home, Alex?" Susan asks the young man.
"Yes. Let's go." Alex replied.
Just as the two reach the large doors, they open up revealing General Monger, hundreds of troops, several tanks, and choppers, blocking their exit.
"Going somewhere, monsters?" General Monger asked.
"Oh no." Alex muttered.
Soon the monsters that escaped were captured and sent back to their cells. Alex sighs before laying on the bed.
"Mom, Dad, Sister. I failed to see you again." He said before closing his eyes.
"Modesto." Susan said.
"Sleep well, monsters. You're home... to stay." Monger said before the cell doors slam shut.
