One of my long chapters! This one puts in a new character, Readagar (Last name not to be reveled yet). Readagar is the property of well...me. So if any wish to use him in a story....ask me first. More about Readagar will be learned later in the story. This took me a while to write....So please! Review. Were lonely.
Chapter 3 Readagar and a Postponing Trip
Inside Randall's lab a figures shadow materialized on the wall...It was Readagar
Readagar:...
Readagar looked identical to Randall, except his natural skin color is red. He can still turn invisible. None in the city of Monstropolis know hardly anything about him. For some reason, few know his last name. But he is characterized as a dangerous reptile, his record unknown.
Readagar: Now to catch the bait....
Readagar: Then bring them back with the reel....
He vanished.
*
Randall was searching through Sullies office when Mike entered into Monsters Inc. He looked at the burnt part of the room.
Mike: Jeez....Ow!
He stepped on a hot piece of brick. He started blowing at his foot then stopped.
Mike: Now....where's Randall?...
Mike starts heading down the burnt hallway.
Mike: Hmm....
He turned a corner.
(Bump!)
Mike slammed into something then looked back at what it was....Readagar.
Readagar: Watch where you going!
Mike: AH!...Randall could you stop sneaking on me like that?
Readagar knew who Randall was, so he used his likeness to fool him. Mike saw he was still red.
Mike: What? I bump into you so hard that your going to stay that way?
Readagar(Randall to Mike): What are you doing here!?
Mike: I came on my own....
Readagar:....!!
His fast hearing caught the sound of four foot steps.
Readagar: Hey....What's that!
Mike turned, not seeing Readagar turn invisible. He turns back.
Mike: Randall?....Where you go?...
Mike started to finish his turn but bumped into Randall.
(Bump)
Randall: Wazowski!
Mike: Sorry......so you changed back...
Randall: What are you talking about!?
He said this angrily as he picked himself up.
Mike: Well you were red and...never mind...
Randall decided to ignore him...but remembered the picture in his hand. He skipped right to the point with Mike.
Randall: Why....did Sullivan keep this?...
He shows up his picture.
Mike: You've been going through Sullies....!
Randall: Tell me!!
Mike yelped....he knew he couldn't take on Randall alone.
Mike: He....took it after the day we banished you.....
Randall: But.....why?...
Mike: Don't know....
Mike: Why would he keep something of you anyway...?
Randall: Why you little!
Randall put the picture in his lower right hand and uses his top hands to slams Mike into the wall.
Randall: You know what I'll do now!
Mike hesitated, knowing what Randall might do.
Mike: Uh! Randall!!
Randall:(Chuckle) Why should you live anyhow!?
Randall: I was just bidding my time!
Randall: But now your alone!
Mike:!!!!
Randall: No witnesses...!
Randall put on his grin while speaking.
Randall: Now! Payback!
Mike: (Breathing fast) (Gulp)!!!!
Randall: To finish what I started......!
(Drip...)
Randall:????....Years ago!
(Drip...)
Randall: What the?...
Randall losses his grip and Mike slides away. He stood a good distance away from Randall....
Randall: What the...?
(Drip...)
Mike starts heading down the hall.
Randall: Don't think your getting away!
Mike halts.
Randall: My company never made that sound before....
Mike: You mean Sullies com....
Randall gave a fierce grin at him, and he shut up.
Randall: Quiet!
Randall decided that it was more important to find out what that weird sound was, and headed to where the sounds were coming from...
Mike: (Gulp)
*
Randall was looking through a hallway, much like he was when he was looking in his lair and found that Sully had unplugged his machine.
Randall: ( I've known this company more than Sullivan...but I've never heard that sound..)
Randall etched near a corner.
(WHAM!!)
A hammers blunted end hits Randall in the head, causing him to fall to the ground and fall unconscious .
Randall:........
Readagar emerged.
Readagar: ????!!!
He noticed Randall wasn't bleeding and didn't even have a bruise where he had hit him. Which made sense. Randall seemed to have an immunity to physical contact. Although, if it was a knife or anything sharp, it would cause him to bleed.
Readagar: Its good you have a hard head....
*
Readagar dragged Randall to a door in the "Training Room". A different door, other than Boo's, was placed into the door boarding. He picked up Randall and dragged him up close.
Readagar: Time to visit your 2nd home....
Readagar: Don't worry....its just for a little while (Chuckle)
Readagar throws him in and shuts the door.....then shut it off, meaning he couldn't come back through....
Readagar: Now to lure Sullivan!
*
Mike was actually a little worried that Randall hadn't come back. He was waiting near Celia's desk, rotating his thumbs.
(Ring!)
Mike: AHHH!
Mike looked behind him......it was only one of the phones.
Mike: Phew...
He picked it up.
Mike: Hello...?
Caller: Mike?....Is that you?
Mike: Sully?
Sully: Yeah its me...
Mike: You alright?...
Sully: Yeah...
Mike: Phew...listen could you come down...
Mike: Its just Randall's missing and something weird is going on...
Sully: Ok I'll be right down.....
*
Sully was still on the phone....
Sully: Ok I'll be right down.....
Mike: Thanks Su.....
A struggling sound was heard.....and Mikes voice disappeared...
Sully: Mike.....Mike!!!
Sully ran out of the apartment....
*
Sully arrived at M.I. and looked at the receptionist desk.....Mike wasn't there...
Sully:!!!
*
Readagar was hidden atop the room on one of the pipes peering down at him, he could see Sully, but Sully couldn't see him. Readagar had been told to be careful with Sully. Since of Randall's defeat, Precautions needed to taken upon. Readagar followed him through the pipes to Randall's lair.
Readagar: (I'd knew you come here...)
Sully slowly moved in....then moved to where Randall's machine used to be.....
Readagar: (A little more.....)
He continues....
Readagar: Now!
He pulled a wire which....dropped 3 bowling balls on top of Sullies head.
(BANG! BANG! CLUCK!)
Sully(Dazed): The spaghetti is on Fridays......
He fell, Readagar dropped down.
Readagar: Too easy.....
*
Meanwhile.....
Randall was still unconscious, he didn't know that he was in a house owned by a human who owns a Pet shop with his wife. This room seemed like it was built for a future child of some sort.
(Crrk)
Wife: Honey? What was that loud thump?
George:....Wha?...
He could see Randall on the ground.
George walked over and his wife entered.
Wife: What is that?!
George: Looks like a snake...some reptile...
Wife: Kill it!
George kneeled down near Randall.
George:....No
Wife: It may be venomous!
George: I've never seen anything like this...
George opened Randall's mouth a bit and felt around his teeth.
George: Jeez....all those sharp teeth...
Wife:!!! We can't keep it!
George: I'll put it in my shop....
Wife: Well....ok....
George tried to pick him up...
George: Could you help me....
Wife: Is it venomous?...
George: No....
Wife: Well....ok...
They pick him up and take him out.
*
Readagar had put in another door for the pounded Sully. He grabs Sully.
Readagar: Your.....heavy!
Readagar managed to put him in and closed the door.
Readagar: That will give them the idea....
*
Sully was in the same position as Randall...He was in some kind of small woodshop room, and 2 men entered.
Man1: What the!?
Man2: What's that thing near your closet!?
Man1: Looks like a bear?
Man2: But this is the city!
Man1:.....
Man2: What do we do with it?
Man1: Kill it?...
Man2: Hey...why don't we sell it to the pet shop guy...
Man1: Yeah....
Man2: I got a cage I use for shark feeding, we can put it in there....
Man1: Ok...Lets lock it up....
*
Randall's lab
Mikes eyes opened his eyes with blurry vision. Readagar drops his face down.
Mike: Ahh! Randall!.....phew...hey?...
Mike: Why you still red?
Mike tried to move his arm but couldn't. He looked to see he was in some kind of chair that resembled the Extractor Chair.
Readagar dropped down on his fours.
Mike What are you doing!?
Readagar comes closer.
Readagar: The eyeball doesn't get it!
Readagar: Me 3 points. Michele zero!
Mike: Michele! Your not Randall!
Readagar: We have a winner!
Mike: Where's Sully and Randall!?
Readagar put his 4 hands on the sides of the chair.
Readagar: On their little vacation....
Mike:!!!!!
*
Randall:.....(Snort)huh?....
Randall was coiled up, and was in some kind of shop.
Randall: Ow....
His head was still ringing.
Randall: Where.....
He was in some kind of long cage. The bars were too squeezed together to slip through. Randall realized where he was....
Randall: No! No,no,no,......Not this place!
Randall did not want to spend any part of his life in this prison....He did not want to be this world's monster slave. He un-coiled himself and tried to stand up.
(BAM)
Randall: Ow!
The cage was long enough for him to stand on all 8's but not high enough for his normal height.
Randall: Where am I...
He looked around. He could see a sign that read " Georges Pet Shop".
Randall:!!!!
He looked around seeing snakes, and lizards in cages.
Randall: Oh....no...
*
Sully:....Oh....my head....
Sully was also in a cage fit for his size. He kept quiet....and saw he was in a shop. Sully had never been in a place like this. Sully heard footsteps and immediately closed his eyes and listened.
Man1: So we take it down...
Man2: Yeah...
Man1: Did George tell you he found some kind of reptile?
Man2: Yeah one that's not classified...
Sully: (Randall?...)
Man1: Well...lets get this bear there....
They pick up the cage.
*
No human was in the store so....Randall was tugging at the bars of his cage.
Randall: I got to...ehh! get out of here!
Voice: I don't think you can...
Randall:!!!! Who said that!?
Voice: Me....
Randall turned to where the voice came from and saw a Boa Constrictor in a metal cage.
Randall: Did you....
Boa: Yep....
The snake was talking.
Randall: How could you...
Boa: Talk?....Well your a reptile aren't you?
Randall: Yeah....
Boa: Well only relatives can talk to each other....
Randall could see what the reptile was saying. It was some kind of telepathic talk.
Boa: What's your name?....
Randall felt he could trust his reptilian brethren.
Randall: Randall Boggs, you are....
Hobs: Hobs....
Hobs slides his tail through a crack in the cage, signaling to shake tails...Randall's tail moved to his to shake, then they retracted.
Hobs: Your a strange one...I mean by how you look...
Hobs: You not from around here?
Randall: No...I'm not...
Hobs: You got caught too huh?
Randall: Yeah....wrongly too...I don't know how I got here...
Voice: Some of us don't either....
Randall turns and sees a water snake, chameleon, and cobra.
Cobra: You shouldn't worry about the human....
Chameleon: He's ok to be with...
Water Snake: He seems to like us....
Randall thought it was ironic that he is in another world and is having conversations with those of his status.
Randall: I...hate this place...
Hobs: It isn't that bad......
Randall: Listen...
Randall felt he could trust Hobs. Besides, who could he tell?
Randall: I'm from another world....
Hobs put his tail to the bottom of his head, seeming to think.
Hobs: I...guess that makes sense..
The others heard the news.
Chameleon: Yeah...I've never seen a snake with 8 limbs....
W. Snake: Yeah we have none....
Hobs: You...said you were here before....
Hobs: How?...
Randall: I...was thrown out of my world...
All: (Gasp)
Hobs: What!?
Randall: Its not like you guys haven't been taken away from your homes...
Hobs: Were not thrown out... We just stay here for a couple of days the...
Cobra: We get released or go to a nice family....
W. Snake:!!! Someone's coming!
They all stopped and Randall went to the darkened part of his cage....Two men with a covered cage entered.
Man2: I'll write him a notice....
Man1 put the cage near the other 3 snakes.
They both leave....
Cobra: Now whose this?...
Cobra wraps his tail around a piece of the cloth covering and pulls it off.
Randall: Sullivan!?
Chameleon: What is it?...
W. Snake: A bear...I saw them at my home
Cobra pulls his tail back in.
Cobra: May be dangerous....
Hobs:....???
Hobs could see Randall staring at Sully.
Hobs: You know that thing Randall?
Randall: As a matter a fact I do...
Chameleon: A snake and bear friends?
All except Hobs: (Laughing)
Randall: Hey, hey, hey! Were not friends!
Hobs: You just know each other....
Randall: Yeah...Say Hobs..
Hobs: Hmm...
Randall: I need to get out of here..
W. Snake: There's too many humans....
Randall: Then.....at night
Cobra: Shhh! Here he comes....
George enters and sees Randall awake.
George: Guess your alright...
Randall:.....
George looks at Sully.
George: What the...?...Oh..
He finds the note:
Dear George,
We got this thing from our house and we didn't know what to do with it. We know you like strange things. -Billy
George: Guess I'm stuck with it....
His wife comes in.
Wife: I came to help you dear...
George: Thanks...
Randall was feeling disgusted by the two humans with cheerful attitudes.
Randall: (I think I'm going to be sick....!)
Wife: Dear! Yu still have that thing!?
Wife: You should sell it or something....
George: Its not dangerous....
Wife: It could bit your hand off!
Randall:(......Maybe.....)
George: I...can't sell him...
Wife: Why not?
George: No one has every seen that kind of snake....
George: I've studied snakes but never saw him...
Randall: ( Yeah yeah...just keep talking...)
Sully twitch's a bit....
George: He may be one of a kind..
Wife:...Well...I'm going to home...
She runs out followed by George.
Randall: Phew....
Sully opens his eyes.
Sully:...ehh...
Randall: Sullivan?...You up?
Sully:...Randall? Where are we?...
Randall spread his arms in sarcasm.
Randall: Just a little piece...
He closed them into fists.
Randall: Of where you threw me in!!!
Sully:....
Hobs:...So, Randall what about escaping?...
Randall turned to Hobs, Sully on the other hand didn't hear what Hobs said. Sully could hear/speak with snakes since he wasn't a reptile.
Sully:????
Randall: At night Hobs....
Hobs: Ok....
*
Night
The day went by as an ordinary one. Sully kept quite all day so not to be noticed. Randall had conversations with his snake buddy's anytime the humans went out. George and his wife seemed to hardly to come around.....
It was night already and Randall woke himself up.
Randall: Hobs!....Hobs!
Hobs: ZZZZ...Huh?....(Yawn) Randall?..
Randall: Now's the time....
Sully woke up.
Randall: Sullivan....
Sully: Huh?...Oh yeah...
Sully had been told to....Sully picks himself up and bends the bars of the cage and squeezes through.
Sully went over to Randall.
Randall: Don't think about leaving me in here!
Sully opened the cage and Randall got onto his four feet.
Hobs: What about us?...
Randall: Oh...
Randall starts helping them out.
Sully: (???? He talked to them?...Maybe...)
*
Outside
The streets were dim and empty, no one was around. Hobs and the rest were going the same way...
Hobs: See you later Randall!
Chameleon: Yeah! See ya Ran!
Cobra: Bye! Bye!
W. Snake: See ya buddy!
They took there separate ways after waving goodbye.
Randall:...Someone more talkative then Fungus....
Sully: Talkative?...
Randall: Err...lets go...
*
Monsters Inc.
Mike was making his last regrets for 2 hours. Readagar was reading today's paper with a frustrating mood.
Mike: And not telling Sully that I used his toothbrush.....
Mike: And not giving Jimmy his truck back in 3rd grade....
Mike: And some of those things I said to Randall...
Readagar looks at him with sharp eyes.
Mike: And how I....
Readagar: Ok!!!!!That's enough!
Mike:!!!
Readagar: You weren't to be worried about at all!
Readagar: So I didn't need to dispose of you!
Mike: (Gulp)
Readagar: Your turn!
Mike:!!!!
*
Randall and Sully were trailing down a street, not looking at each other.
Sully:..
Randall: Well...I better find a way out of this place....
Sully:....Why not try one of these doors.....
Randall: Note that there all shut down....
Sully stops, Randall also stops.
Sully: So were stuck here!
Randall: Great....
Sully:???
Randall: Now you get to go through what I did....
Randall: But I'm stuck here with you!
Sully knew he was talking about what they did to him.
Sully:.....Randall....
Randall: What is it this time!?
Randall crosses his arms and turns around so not to see Sully.
Sully: I'm....having second thoughts...
Randall moved his head a bit.
Randall:???...Yeah...
Sully: I...shouldn't have put you here...
Randall: I told you!
He turned.
Randall: I will never forgive you!!!
Randall: I still have revenge! I'm...just pushing it back....
Sully: Well...I mean....the Law...
Randall: What?...The Law? You mean Banishment?
Sully: Yeah...
Randall turned again.
Randall: If it wasn't for you and that Law.....!!
Randall: I would have made M.I. a gold mine!
Sully:...I broke it before you...
Randall: What?
Sully: Remember when you banished us.....
Randall thought for a moment.
Randall: Yeah...That was priceless....
Sully:...If I went by the Law....
Sully: I would have.....you know...
Randall: Hey! That's right!
Randall: First you disobeyed the Law then Banished me!
Randall: So if you never came into my life!
Randall: This wouldn't have happened to me!
Sully:....
Randall shook his head.
Randall: Stupid, idiot, Law....It should be destroyed..
Sully: Yeah....Its unfair...
Randall:....
Sully: You know....now that I think about it....
Sully: I didn't mind us being rival's....
Randall:....
Sully: Maybe...we should stop and find a way out of here....
Randall: Fine with me....
Sully: We got to find Mike too....
Randall: Yeah like he's just going to drop in on us....
AAAAAHHHHHHH!
(Plop!)
Mike drops into the middle of Randall and Sully.
Sully: Mike!!!!
Randall: Great both of them now!
Sully helps him up.
Sully: You ok!
Mike: Yeah....I'm not Humpty Dumpty....
Sully: You sure
Mike: Yeah....
Randall: Great! Trapped here with ocular and throw rug!!!
Sully/Mike:??!!
Mike: He still here?
Randall: Why you little!!!
Randall was about to strangle Mike, but Sully backed him off with his paw on Randall's chest.
Sully: Guys!
Mike backs away as Randall gets some space away from the two.
Sully: We got to get out of here first!...
Mike: Ok...lets find a door....
Randall: There shut off idiot!
Randall: Were stuck here!
Randall: How could things get any w.....
(Bounce bounce roll...)
A green basket ball rolls near Sully.
Randall/Sully:???
Mike: Guys!!!!Help!
They could see a kid run off with Mike to a couple of kids playing basket ball. Sully runs over.
Randall: Oh! This is too rich! (Laughing)
Randall: (Laughing)..Ehh!
Some hand grabs him by the neck and pulls him into an alley.
Randall was slammed against a brick wall, unable to yell. He could see a gang of men in front of him.
Randall:!!!
Ganger: Hey man, never seen anything like this!?
Ganger2: A little late for Halloween huh!?
Another ganger looks at Randall, trying to use his 4 arms and legs to get out of the hold.
Ganger3: Hey! This things real!
Ganger4: Hey lets sell it!
Ganger3: Yeah...
Ganger: Lets see if you bleed green!
He pulls put a knife.
Randall:(!!!!!!!)
It was three feet away when...
Voice: Hey!
The 5 look at the deeper part of the alley. A black young man with short curly hair and a handgun appeared.
????: N.Y.P.D! Your under arrest!
Ganger hits Randall in the stomach and he falls to the ground while the other 2 run away.
A moment later, Sully had gotten Mike back.
????: Jeez....
Randall: Ehh....(Gulp)
???? puts his gun into its holder.
????: Punks....
Sully and Mike arrive and see Randall on the ground and sees ????.
Mike/Sully:!!!!!
????: What the....?
Another officer appears with his gun up.
Officer: What the heck are those things?!
????: Uh....I don't know...
Officer: I think we've had reports on things like this...
Officer: Disturbing the peace 11 years ago in many places!
????: ????
Sully/Mike:!!!!??
Randall was recovering from the hit. He knew what they were talking about.....11 years ago, they were scaring kids....even here....
????: What do we do?
Officer: Lock them up!
The three were shocked.
????: But....
Officer: Its an order....
????:.....
*
Police Station
The two that brought the three "So-called Freaks" seemed to be the only ones in the station....They seemed to be the ones that stayed over night.
(ERRK...Lock!)
Sully/Mike/Randall:....
Randall was on the bed near Sully...They were locked into the same cell.
????: Are you sure....
Officer: Yeah, yeah, yeah.....
Officer: I'm heading out now.....
The Officer took his coat and heads out....
????:.....Jerk!..
???? opens the cell.
Sully: Why are you doing this?
Mike: Yeah....
????: Benny's a jerk...
????: Wants to lock everyone up....
???? stares at Randall....then to the rest...
????: We need to talk....
Mike: Ok...
Mike goes out.
Sully helps Randall up.
Randall: I'm fine Sullivan!
Sully:.....
*
They arrived at a fast food place. Only one other family was eating, 2 parents and a child. ????, Sully, and Mike walk in.
Lady: Ahh! What is those things!
She points to Sully and Mike.
????: Just my kids in costume.....
Man: But its not Halloween?...
????: It was a costume party....
Both: Oh..
The three sat down at a table...Randall was sitting outside. He had refused to sit with humans, especially children, and eat human food.
The other three spoke quietly.
????: So your....not from here?
Mike: Should we tell.....
Sully:...Just...don't tell anyone..
????: Sure, you can trust me....
Sully explains.
????: So your.....buddy out there...along with you scare kids?....
????: And you threw your friend out here years ago?
????: Might I ask...why?
Mike: Umm....a Law..
????: Scream energy.....and another world.....interesting....
The little boy with the other family creped over to the places entrance, with a small Nerf gun.
Randall: Hmph....Trusting a human we don't know....
The little boy opens the door, without Randall seeing, And shoots a Nerf dart at him. Randall gets up and turns in anger.
Randall: You little!!!!
Randall chases the boy in. But stops when....
Lady: What's that!!!????
????: Uh....he's....
Sean: Sorry Randall...couldn't help myself, forgive me...
????: A costume for "Eight-Legged Freaks"
Randall gives an angered expression.
Lady: Oh....
Randall gave up and sat in the table next to the other three's.
Sully: Anyway....we need to get back....
Mike: Yeah....
????: Well....I have an idea that may work....
All 3: What!?
????: You said you have these machines that hold the doors and operates it?
Sully: Yeah....
????: Maybe we could make one like it...
Randall: Maybe......
Sully and Mike look at him.
Randall: Hmph....But you humans can't make it (Chuckle)
????: We'll see about that.....
Randall ends chuckling.
????: I got a friend of mine that'll help....
*
Pawn and Metal Shop
(Ding)
????: I'm back....
A little person covered in clothes cam from behind the counter.
Owner: Well it about time....
The three entered.
Owner: (More?...)
????: I need to build something for my friends
Owner: Ok....what is it?..
Mike hands him a diagram of the door holder. Mike had worked with the doorway for years so he knows what it looks like.
Owner: (Whistle) Neat....
*
All of them spent every second building the doorway, mostly Randall and Sully. Most of the doors frame was made out of metal like substance's. The control panel was the hardest, with the wires and all. Randall knew the construction good enough to make it, Mike also helped make the door clamp.
*
Hours later.....
????: Phew....done..
It was an exact replica of a door holder, with an extra door in the slot that was in the shop.
Mike: Something's missing.....
Sully could see the red light wasn't on.
Sully: Oh.....
????: What?
Randall hits his forehead with one of his top hands.
Randall: Oh I forgot!
????: What!?
Sully: The door needs energy....
Randall: Scream energy....
Sully: Or Laugh energy
Randall: Err...
Mike: Great....
Randall:...ahh...
Randall: You got a tape recorder?
????: Yeah.....
He hands Randall a tape recorder.
????: Why?
Randall: I'll be right back hehehe....
He goes.
Sully:....
*
Minutes later, Randall returns.
Mike: Where have you been?
Randall: None of your business
Sully: Really Randall.....
Randall: Watch....
Randall hold the recorder near the input holder, which took scream/laugh energy, and flips the playback switch and a child's scream comes out....
Sully/Mike:???
The light turns on.
Randall: Bingo....
Sully: You didn't...?
Randall: My kid! My job Sullivan! Still is.....
Sully:!!!
Mike:...
????: Well looks like you can go home....
Sully and Mike shake hands with ???? and the Owner....
Owner: Hope we see again....
???? walks over to Randall....
????: Well...
Randall:???...Hmph...
He quickly shakes his hand with his lower left hand.
????: Hope we'll see each other again....
Randall:.....
????: Well....lets go before we see too much...
???? and the Owner go out.
*
Outside
????: (Sigh)
Owner: Well...we did it...
????: Yep....like told...
Owner: What now Terrence?..
Terrence:...Well ??????....
Terrence: Tell "Him" of course...
Owner: Your friend?...Ok...lets go..
The two headed down the street....from owners backside, a small blue tail emerged.....
*
Sully: Well I guess humans aren't that bad at all....
Mike: To Randall may....
(Lock!)
Sully: Hey Randall!!!!
Randall had gone through and locked the door....
*
What will be next? All I can tell is the chapter title is "A Road Trip".
