A Monster's Will
Chapter 7
The mission has been accomplished. The Monsters and Alex have defeated the giant robot and saves San Francisco. The team are on a flight back to base. Alex got a bit excited after the battle.
"I can't believe it! I mean I had fought a giant robot and won!" He said with excitement.
"I'm still buzzin'. Did you see how strong I was? Probably isn't a jar in this world I can't open." Susan said.
"You were positively heroic, my dear," Dr. Cockroach said, "I especially loved how you and Alex destroyed the robot. It was a nice touch. Wasn't they amazin', Link?"
"Yeah, they were great. Really cool. Loved it." Missing Link replied with no mood.
"Oh, poor Link. After all that tough talk, you were out-monstered by a girl. No wonder you're depressed."
"Hey, I'm not depressed. I'm tired."
"Why are you so tired? You didn't do anything." B.O.B said.
"Well, I haven't been sleeping well. Right? I got sleep apnea... apnea. Whatever. It's not fun.
"So Link's a little rusty..." Ginormica said, "I mean, sleep deprived. You'll be back to your old self in no time. And so will Alex and I."
"Can't wait, man. I mean I do like this ring. I was lucky that I survived the explosion." Alex said.
"Wait! Did you explode?!" B.O.B exclaimed.
"Well, the meteor exploded and I was bathed in the light." Alex replied.
All of a sudden the plane lands.
"What's going on?" Alex asks in confusion.
That is when General Monger appears.
"First stop, Modesto!" He said, "Ginormica, Green Lantern, I called your families to let 'em know you were comin' home. Now, I also called the Modesto PD and told them not to shoot at you."
"Thanks, General." Susan said, saluting to him.
"Home. I can't believe. We're home." Alex said with a smile on his face.
The door of the plane open and the monsters and Alex walk out. He and Susan smile to see their homes again. Alex flies out to find his family. Alex looks before he sees his familiar home. He looks before he sees his sister, Lucy sitting on the porch. He reaches to the front yard before speaking.
"Lucy!" He said.
Lucy gets up form the chair before seeing her brother waving.
"Alex!" She shouted before running towards him. Alex lands and the two siblings embrace each other.
The door to house opens and their parents step out. Alex looks and sees them.
"Mom! Dad!" He said.
"Alex!" They said before they run to their son and embrace him nearly crying.
"I'm so glad you're safe, my baby." Anna said.
"I was worried about what those people did to you. I thought they were going to do experiments on you." Drake said.
"It's okay, guys. They did not do anything bad to me. I get to meet some new friends who are... *ahem* monsters." Alex said.
"Monsters?" The three said in confusion.
"Oh yeah! You should meet my new friends. They're just down the street. Come on!" Alex said.
Alex leads his family down the street before Anna, Drake, and Lucy were awe. In front of them were Alex's friends, Dr. Cockroach, B.O.B, and the Missing Link They were amazed to see them in person. Even Lucy was astounded.
"Wow. Radical." She said.
"Hey, guys! This is my family." Alex introduced his friends to his family.
"Oh Derek! I knew you came back!" B.O.B said before embracing Drake. He gets stuck inside.
"B.O.B, let him out! That's my dad!" Alex said.
"Oh. Sorry. Hehe." B.O.B said as he spit him out.
"You, okay sweetheart?" Anna asked her husband.
"Ugh. I smelled like ham." Drake said as he is covered in goo.
"Ah, Mr and Mrs Hudson. Your son has done a marvelous job of saving San Francisco with his new powers." Dr. Cockroach said.
"Uhh. Okay." Anna said.
"Wow. You're a real Fishman! I've used to have a friend who like mystery creatures like Bigfoot and the Loch Ness Monster." Lucy said.
"Yeah, but those guys are nothing compare to me, the Missing Link." Link said.
"You wanna see my karate moves?" Lucy asks.
"Boy would I!" Link said.
"Hey, where's Susan?" Alex said looking for the giant woman.
That is when Susan's parents appear.
"She said she'd went to go looking for Derek." Susan's mother said.
"In the meantime, we should have a party." Susan's father said.
Later in the evening, while his friends and family party, Alex is on the roof looking at the starry sky. He sees Insectosaurus who is dancing while ignoring car alarms. He then looks down to see both parents talking to Susan's, Lucy showing some Karate moves to Missing Link, and B.O.B is talking to a plate of Jello.
Alex smiles before he takes to the air to go find Susan. It is easy since her height gives her away. He carefully follows the footprints before reaching Downtown Modesto. He lands on the roof of an apartment before looking around. Alex creates binoculars before he sees Susan talking with someone. He creates a small Parabolic microphone dish and headphones to listen in on the conversaton.
"Yeah, but I'm still fine. I'm still the same girl you fell in love with." Susan said.
"Except you did just destroy the Golden Gate Bridge." The person said to Susan
"But that was the only way I could stop that giant robot! Did you ever think I could do something like that?"
"No, I didn't. I can honestly say it never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever occured me."
"Look, I know this is a little weird. OK, it's a lot weird, but we'll figure it out. I know that, together, we can find a way to get me back to normal."
"Susan, try and look at this from my perspective. I have an audience that depends on me for news, weather, sports and heart-warming fluff pieces. So. You could expect me to put all that on hold while you try to undo this thing happened to you? That I had absolutely nothing to do with?"
"Yes. That's exactly what I expect. But what about the life we always talked about? Don't you still want that?"
"Of course. I just... don't see how I can have that with you."
What Alex heard about about it is true. He car hear Susan starting to slightly break down.
"Derek, please, don't do this." Susan said with tears in her eyes.
"You have to face facts, Susan," Derek spoke, "Don't crush me for sayin' this, but I'm not looking to get married and spend the rest of my life in someone else's shadow. And you're casting a pretty big shadow. I'm sorry, but it's over. Good luck, Susan."
Alex dissolves his construct before looking at Susan who is devastated. Her fiance, Derek, had broken her heart by ending their relationship. Susan starts running while crying.
"Susan, wait!" He said while going after her.
He follows her to an open area where he finds her sitting on the roof of a gas station. Alex slowly approaches her.
"Susan, are you okay?" He asks her.
"Oh Alex." Susan said before grabbing him and placing him between her breasts again. Alex could enjoy but that's not the time. Susan pulls back allowing Alex to float.
"I heard what happened between you and Derek. I'm sorry for what he did to you." Alex said to her.
"Yeah. Thanks. You're the one I appreciate." Susan said.
"Umm. Listen, Susan," Alex began, "I... When I first meet you, I think that you're beautiful. Well. You are. I know you're hurt after Derek broke up with you, but I don't want you to feel downward."
"What are you saying?" Susan asks Alex.
"Wow! What a shindig! Your parents really know how to throw it down." Dr Cockroach said as he, the Missing Link, and B.O.B appear next to Susan.
"What? No, that was a great party, one of the best I've been to since got outta prison," Link says.
"I must've been at a different party, 'cause that's not how I interpreted at all. I don't think your parents liked me, and I think that JELL-O gave me a fake phone number." B.O.B says.
"Well, at least the garbage was free. You know? I mean..."
"Ah, who are we kidding? We could save every city on the planet, and they'd still treat us the same way they've always treated us... like monsters."
"Right. Monsters." Susan agreed.
"And I'm not a monster. I'm more like a Superhero, but what's the point?" Alex said.
Anyway, how is Derek?" Missing Link asks Susan.
Susan sighs before replying, "Derek is a selfish jerk.
"No!" B.O.B exclaimed.
"Yes. All that talk about "us." "I'm so proud of us. Us just got a job in Fresno." There's no "us." There was only Derek.
Susan gets up to walk around, Why did I have to get hit by a meteor to see that? I was such an idiot!" With her frustration, Susan goes and kicks the roof of the gas stayion. B.O.B gets thrown into the air, laughing, "Why did I ever think life with Derek would be so great, anyway? I mean, look at all the stuff I've done without him. Fighting an alien robot? That was me, not him. And that was amazing! Meeting you guys? Amazing! Dr. Cockroach, you can crawl up walls and build a supercomputer out of a pizza box, two cans of hairspray, and..."
"And a paper clip!" Dr Cockroach finishes
Amazing! And you!" Susan speaks to Link, "You hardly need an introduction! You're the Missing Link! You personally carried 250 co-eds off of Cocoa Beach, and still had strength to fight off the National Guard"
"And the Coast Guard and, also, the lifeguard." Missing Link said.
"Amazing!" Susan sees B.O.B landing on the ground, "B.O.B.! Who else could fall from unimaginable heights and end up without a single scratch?"
"Link?" B.O.B pointed to the Fishman.
"You."
"Amazing!"
Susan then turns to Alex, "And Alex. You're the only who is not a monster but had granted powers from the ring you're wearing. You can fly and create things like a car, a battleship."
"Even the International Space Station" Alex said to Susan.
"And you were the one who destroy the giant robot. It... makes me wanna fall for you."
Alex blushes madly before Insectosaurus appears, roaring.
Good point, Insecto!" Link said to the giant bug, "Susan, don't short-change yourself!"
"Oh, I'm not going to short-change myself ever again." Susan said.
"Testify!"
"Yeah"
"Oh, yes."
"Now where talking!" Alex said.
All of a sudden, a light shines on Susan and she gets lifted off the ground. From above a large spaceship had appeared under the cover of darkness.
"Susan" Alex and Link shouted.
As Susan is lifted up, Insectosaurus shoots a string of sticky web from its nose and it grabs Susan's feet. She pulls to try to get to the ground. All of a sudden, a pink light glow before it fires at Insectosaurus.
"Insecto, look out!" Link shouted.
Alex stands in front of Insectosaurus and creates a large shield. The ball strikes the shield and Alex gets thrown away with the construct shattered. Then the ball strikes Insectosaurus making him fall to the ground.
"Insectosaurus! Alex! No!" Susan shouted as she gets taken inside the ship.
From the ground, Alex groans before getting up. He sees Insecto before seeing the ship. He flies to go after Susan.
"You'll pay for this!" He shouted as he flies to go get Susan out. He flies to the side of the ship before making a hole to get inside. Once in, Alex begins his search for Susan.
