Randall's Quest: The Search For Truth
I just couldn't wait till I would get my next story up and running! I wanted to wait till I got more reviews on A Reptilian Child, but I did not want you guys to wait. But I'm getting bugged down with homework and projects. But have no fear! Me and Ran will get this story on this site! I don't want to reveal too much, but lets just say in this story Randall's past comes back to haunt him in a way he didn't expect. This will be, like the last one, one of my greatest Randall stories ever.
Pre-Epilogue
For it has only been a couple of hours since the tragic accident with Randall and the others. Sully went on with his CEO job. Celia was as happy as ever that Mike survived. Boo finally returned to her family, who were missing her terribly. Readagar recovered from his wounds, and became a friend of the ones who saved him, especially Randall. He used his money that he earned from the casino to rebuild Viper Manor, where he now lives. Randall worked back as a scarer for Scare Floor F, he didn't work under Sully so it was fine foe him. And Randolph....

Chapter 1 The Unknown Intention
Randall:.......
Randall was asleep at his apartment, finally able to sleep in his own bed soundly for the first time in a while. The day before was tough for him though. Although he had his job back, had gotten a couple new set of "friends". But still...something was bothering him....something in his head that seemed...familiar.
Randall: Ehh....
He was in a dream that was not created by his thoughts of the recent events but others.....
Randall:.....Ehh....huh?...Ehhmm!
He opened his eyes to see himself floating in a vat of water. Seemly, due to the dream, he should be able to breath in his dream, but he couldn't and held his breath.
Randall:!!!!!!
Voice: (Laughing!)
Randall:!!!!
He couldn't yell for help or get out from where he was.
Voice: Remember me Randall?....
Randall:????!!!
The only thing besides the vat and its control panel was complete darkness. But, emerging from the darkness was a hand, similar to his but it was black and red scale colored.
Randall:!!!!
Voice: You should have given it too me!
Randall was confused as well as afraid of actually dying from his dream.
Voice: Guess I'm gust going to have to dispose of you!
Randall:!!!!
Randall suddenly realized that this place was similar to the place that was in his day dream when he first got to New York.
Randall:!!!!
Voice: I'll say goodbye to your brother as well
Randall:!!!!!
Randall realized he tried to speak to make a comeback to his words but let out his breath, he tried to hold it back with his hands....
Voice: Pathetic! Even when you were a child you could have been much more!
Randall:.....
Familiar voice: Stop!!!
Randall looked beyond the darkness to see a small cover of light. Appearing was Sully, Mike, Readagar, A monster that looked like Randolph, another monster that looked like him, and....
Randall: ( Sean! Joy!)
Sean: Let him go!
Voice: (Chuckle)
Randall looked down at the hand as it reached for a control labeled Life Support.
Randall:!!!!
He flipped it.
*
Randall: Ahh!!!!
Randall jumped up from where every he was.
Randall: (Breathing fast)
He noticed he was still in his apartment. He held one of his top hands to his head.
Randall: ( Still breathing fast)...huh?
He could feel his head was cold, but his room was as warm as it should be. A second later, Fungus came in.
Fungus: Randall what's wrong!?
Randall: I...just need a bit of fresh air I...think
He slowly got out of bed, as his four feet fell, he got the sense back of the liquid he had been floating in but continued to the window, breathing in the fresh air, as if he didn't have it when he was asleep...
*
On a outer island Randolph hid in a cave.....breathing hardly....for him, the hours seemed to pass by him quickly. He had swam through the chilling waters and ended up on the cold island.
Randolph: I hop your happy Randall!
Randolph put his tail around his body to keep warm.
Randolph got up a minute later.
Randolph: I'll come back!
(Click!)
Randolph:!!!
He turned to see two...
Randolph: Humans!!!
Before he could move....He was caught inside a net, and the two humans homed there guns on him....
Randolph:!!!!
Human: Is this a monster!?
Human2: Take it back to be analyzed...
Randolph: (Gulp)
*
Randall shivered as he looked out his apartment window....
Fungus: Why did you shiver Randall?
Randall: I don't know.....
Randall: Guess its nothing....
Randall grips his music box in one of his hands...
*
Monsters Inc.
In the company, things were going pretty good. Randall had a pretty good time at wreaking Mikes play. Sully made a surprise party for Randall's return to work. Mike wasn't at the party because he had some black eye kind of pain. Randall seemed like the only scarer in the company, this of course got him to number one because the scare counter on the board still had the old scarer records. Fungus was busy on Sullies laugh floor.
Ranft had just come in when Randall attached a canister to the doors clamp, getting ready to scare.
Ranft: Hi Randall....
Randall did a "Hi" signal as he attached the canister. He then put his hand on the door knob.
Randall: So....makes it feel like the old days...
Ranft:...Can I scare with you Randall?
Randall:???? I thought you like the pie in your face?
Ranft: Well...just a little....for old times...
Randall: Well....here..
He tosses him a cardkey.
Randall: A competition....
Ranft:...Ok!
Randall: First one to 1,000 scares wins..
Randall wanted competition, and Ranft was a good scarer.
Randall: Ok.........Go!
They both went into there doors, and came out just the same, Randall of course was in the lead.
By the end, Randall won. Ranft was close with 937 points.
Randall: No one can beat me....
Ranft: That....was fun
Ranft: You don't mind if I come here every now and then do you?
Randall: Me a boss?...Ok
Ranft: Ok, I'll tell Sully so you wont get in trouble
Ranft heads out.
Randall: Well...I filled my quota....now what...
His stomach growled.
Randall:...Guess I should get something to eat...
He heads out, flipping the return switch with his tail and went to the lunch room.
*
In the lunchroom, Randall finally got respect from some of his fellow workers. Fungus, Ranft, and Bobby were eating at the same table with him.
Bobby: How's that record of yours coming Randall?
Randall: 1,000,783,237 points
Bobby:(Whistle)
Ranft: I'm thinking of joining Randall....
Bobby: When you telling him...
Ranft: Now actually...See you later Randall...
Ranft and Bobby go, and Fungus finally spoke up.
Fungus: I forgot to say...sorry....
Randall: About the Extractor?...We can build another....
Randall: But don't try to use it on me again!
Fungus:!!!...ok....
Randall:....
*
Randolph: Oh....my head....
Randolph looked around to see that he was in a metal room with one light, and a table. He picked himself up and looked for a way out.
Randolph: (A lab?...Where am I!?)
He could only see the two objects in the room.
Randolph: Let me out of here!!!
No response. But up in ceiling, people were observing him...
Human1: Subject seems to be dazed and angered...
Human2: I'm not so sure this one is of use...
Human3: Well....We'll test it....get a sample..
He pressed a button.
(VEMP)
Randolph: Huh?
(sshhsshhsshhsshh)
Randolph: Gas!.....Oh...I'm...falling...asleep....
(Plop!)
The gas vanished and two men came in with a cart from a now opened door.
Human1: He may be delicate...
Human2: Lets see if its related
He took some pliers and slowly took a piece of Randolph's skin off and placed it in a jar. When the humans were putting away the tool's, one of Randolph's eyes opened. A reptile doesn't have a nose, so it was his tongue. He quickly slithered under the cart and stood up at the doors entrance and pushed the cart against the humans, causing them to fall back as he ran down the hall....
*
He was in a laboratory with long walls. Some room's walls were made of glass. He found an exit door to his left and headed for it....
(WHOOP! WHOOP! WHOOP!)
He looked behind him to see 4 men with guns chasing him.
Randolph tried to camouflage but it didn't work.
Randolph:!!!
When he got to the exit they got to him.
Randolph: Err!
*
By the time the employees were leaving, only a few of the buildings staff was left. It was getting late....
Randall went over to Celia's desk and took up a phone and dialed a number.
(BEEP.....BEEP...)
Other line: Yeah?
Randall: Readagar?
Readagar: Randall? Why you calling?
Randall: I was just wondering if anything was saved from the explosion...
Readagar: Oh...Sorry...nothing was saved that I know of....
Randall: (....Maybe there was something about that place....)
Randall: Thanks....
Readagar: Ok...
They hung up....
Randall: (Sigh)
Celia: Who were you calling?
Randall looked up to see Celia. She was wearing a blue dress, and her snakes had little hats on. Her snakes didn't hiss at Randall at all since he saved Mike. She had begun to trust him.
Randall: Readagar...
He got down from the elevated step.
Celia: That red guy that looks like you?
Randall: Yeah....Why are you wearing that?
Celia: Oh this? Goo....Michel's taking me out to dinner...
Randall: (How can ocular get so much money!?)
Randall: Yeah whatever....see ya...
Celia: Uh....Randall...
Randall: Hmm..
Celia:....uh...never mind....
Randall:.....?
Randall continues.
Celia turned and saw Mike. His eye was a little red.
Celia: Googleybear! Feeling better?
Mike: A little...Randall has a strong grip....
Celia: I admit it wasn't anyway to treat someone....
Mike: Maybe I did deserve it....
Celia: Because you made him a laughing stock?
Mike:.....
Celia:.....
Mike: I....was thinking we could go to Harry Howsins today...
Celia:????
Mike: You don't remember what day it is?
Celia:....
Mike: The day we first met!
Celia Oh! I forgot!
Mike: Ok lets go
*
Randall had caught up with Fungus when he was leaving, so they tried to strike a conversation.
Fungus: So, what are you doing tonight?
Randall: Go to Harry's....I'm as hungry as ever....
Randall: Haven't seen my old buddy in a while....
Fungus: Well...I'm heading home...
Randall: Thanks for helping me with the...
He signaled his left arms...
Fungus: Oh....No problem...
Fungus heads off....
Randall: (He seems confident....But why do I answer his questions?...)
Randall: I need to get back from the vacation from myself...
Randall: Snap out of it Randall....
He trailed off, wondering that he had changed.
*
Randolph had made his way to a hill near the city....The darkness kept him form view...he stood there for a second, then made his way down, limping ....
*
Mike and Celia were having familiar conversations when Randall entered, not noticing, or being noticed by, the two. He walked up to a door labeled "Manager"
(Knock!)
Voice: I don't take complaints from customers!
Randall: Then how about old friends?
The door opened to reveal a monster that was a little taller than Randall. He had 4 arms, 8 tentacle legs, 2 eyes fitted into his head, and he was red with black spots.
Harry: Randy!
He hugs him.
Randall: Uh Harry!
Harry: Oh yeah right...
He goes back.
Harry: Didn't mean to get all mushy....
Harry: Its jus been years since you been here!
Randall: Things happen....
Harry: I'm I going to celebrate..
Harry: I'll get Nick to make you some Meat Lasagna....
Randall could just chuckle at that. The dish was only for special occasions, but a couple years back Randall helped Harry out by scaring out some of the over raged customers. So he would make it for Randall any time.
Randall went over and sat in a table. Not noticing that Mike and Celia were in the one behind him, he picked up the menu, just to look at something while Nick brought over a plate of the dish made for him.
Randall: Thanks Nick...
Nick: No prob good buddy
Nick goes over to serve the rest.
Randall began eating as the conversation behind him got to where he could hear it.
Female Voice: So this is the day we met?
Male voice: Yep!
F. voice: The first time we cam here was 11 years ago...
Randall held his fork in mid-air as he listened to the conversation.
M. voice: Yeah...that reminds me..
M. voice: Did I tell you how we got him?
F. voice: Who?
M. voice: Randall
Randall:!!!!!
He put his fork down and pulled his head over the small dividing wall....seeing Mike with his back turned.
Randall: (Growl)
Mike: Oh it was funny!
Celia: Um...Michel....
Mike didn't know Randall was standing right behind him.
Mike: Let me finish, I slammed the door in his face!
Mike: That must've hurt tomorrow!
Randall waited...
Mike: I mean that creep surprised us, but I wasn't a coward!
Randall pulled his arms back and opens his mouth.
Randall: RAGH!!!!!
Mike: (Shrike!)
Mike landed in Celia's arms.
Mike:!!!
Randall: (Chuckle)
Celia: Randall!!
Randall: Little ball deserved it....
Mike: I wasn't scared.....Allergies again...
Randall: Sure you weren't scared...!
Celia: What are you doing here?!
Randall: Enjoying my friends restaurant....
Mike got down next to Celia.
Mike: You know Harry?
Randall: Yes....what are you doing here!?
Celia: "Our" anniversary
Randall: Big de....
Randall hissed for a second to get a smell of the air.
Randall: Is something burning?
Mike: Stoves lizard boy.....
Randall: No I mean....
(KAAAAABBOOOOOMMMMM!)
The front door exploded. Randall got blasted under his table, slamming him into the metal bar holding it down, as Mike and Celia hid under there's as the other's did.
Randall:.........
Mike: Celia! You ok!?
Celia: (Cough) I'm fine....
Mike: How about you Lizard b.....
He could see Randall a little dazed.
Mike:???....
3 bulky monsters entered, with guns in there hands.
Mike:!!!
Monster1: I'll take the kitchen....
Monster2: I'll take the other rooms..
Monster1 quickly hops into the back of the kitchen while the second one went into a door marked "Private", while the last one trailed down the row of tables, trailing the gun on anyone.
Monster3: Alright scum! Stay where you are!
The monster looked down to see Mike and Celia.
Both:!!!!
Monster3: Hmph....get up!
The two did, and the monster pulled the gun on Celia.
Mike:!!!!!!
Monster3: Just a warning for all of you! Bye girly!
Celia:!!!!!
(SMACK!)
The gun set off onto the ceiling as the monster fell down, Randall's tail hit him in the face. The gun went flying under a near table.
Mike: Randall!!??
Randall: Find a call button! And Wazowski! Get these monsters out of here!
Mike: Ok Ran! (High whistle) Everyone run! Follow me!
Mike ran with Celia to get the monsters out while trying to find a C.D.A. call button.
Randall: Huh?...
He felt something near his front legs....he looked down to see the monster pull him down to the floor. Giving the monster the chance to grab his gun and point it at Randall.....who was on all eights and was about to attack, but couldn't do to the situation. The monster got up as Randall remained on all eight.
Monster: Goodbye lizard!
Randall:!!!!
(SLASH!)
The monster dropped the gun and felt as though something hit his back. He fell and a silver tail, with its curled end covered in a dripping green fluid, was seen.
Randall: You!
The monster's full figure landed on 4 feet. It was that monster that had helped Mike find Sully in that unknown town.
Slade: Please, call me Slade
Randall: You saved me...took me to that hospital....
Slade: Yeah I was around...
(Weeep! Weeep!)
Randall: (Guess Eyeball's found a call button)
Slade: Listen, I'll take care of these guys...
Slade: If the C.D.A catch you here.....they might blame you.....
Randall:...Ok...
Slade ran into the kitchen...
Mike and Celia arrived to Randall.
Mike: That guy again....
Celia: I think we should get out of here....
Randall: Right.....
The three ran out the door.
*
Randall went to his own apartment, while Mike and Celia go to Sullies apartment. Randall entered his apartment and turned on the T.V. to see the news....Randall waited impatiently.
News anchor: "Breaking story today. Various Monsters have caused havoc for the past couple of hours. The break ins, have appeared rapidly, but were silenced by the C.D.A. The weapons recovered seemed to be not of much monster species."
Randall:....
News anchor: "Suspects in the accidents place the blame on Randolph Boggs....."
Randall: Brother?...
News anchor: "Possible suspicion increases. Mr. Boggs has committed several issues on humans and monsters alike, giving the citizens the right to blame the monster. C.D.A has tight security around Monsters Inc. The well known company is where a strike is most likely."
Randall turns it off..
Randall: M.I.....Randolph...
*
Randall: Had decided to go to M.I. first thing it opened, and checked out to see if anything was going on....
Randall:....?
As he walked down the street, many monsters hesitated at looking at him. Although Randall was somewhat despised, he wasn't avoided by everyone he passes.....some went into there houses to avoid him, probably because his last name was the same as Randolph, and having a bad reputation to the public.
Randall:...
He finally made it and presented his I.D. to the C.D.A. to gain clearance.
Agent: Don't do anything crazy Boggs.
Randall: Whatever....
He heads in...
*
Randall first went to the Scare Floor. He searched everywhere, then came to his section....
(Gasping)
Randall:????
He turns invisible and looks around...nothing..
Randall: Hmm...
(Bump!)
Suddenly he was tackled to the ground, turning him visible. He then threw the thing that attacked him into the door clamps. He then looked at what he threw.
Randall: Randolph!!!!!!
He got up, but noticed something green on his scales, but decided not to worry about it and went to his brother.
Randolph remembered the voice, not moving from where he was.
Randall picked his head up and turned his body so he was laying on him on his back.
Randall:!!!!!
Randolph was shot in his chest....bleeding terribly, he had been scarred and sliced as well. Almost as if someone had put him through the shredder...
Randall: What happen! Are you with those monsters!?
Randolph: (Deep breath)....No..
Randall believed him.
Randall: What...happen to you!
Randolph: I....can't....
He covered his most serious wound with one of his hands. Randall could tell what he meant...
Randall :Randolph...
He helped him up....
Randall: I'll take you to my apartment...
He covered Randolph with a sheet that was on one of the tables, and they exited.....
*
Did anyone really think Randolph was dead before they red this? Come on I know there was someone.....Review, please I need reviews and encouragement. Oh, incase you didn't guess or just thought it wasn't going to be long or anything, but Me and Joy return in this story! I'm so glad.
