A turning point chapter this is. The story leads into more of the plot....
Chapter 7 A Promise/My Second Home
Randolph: Ehh....huh?
Randolph opened his blurry eyes to see bright lights moving past him quickly. As his vision became clearer, he noticed that his hands were tied, and his tail was in the tie also un-movable. His feet were tied too.
Randolph: (How can I...!!!)
He noticed that he was being carried by two solider looking humans. Another on was in front of him, which stopped, Randolph's carriers also stopped. The one in front of him opened a door to the left.
The ones carrying Randolph threw him in.
Randolph: Ehh!
(SSHH)
They locked the door.
Voice: Randolph!
Randolph: Huh...?
Randolph shook his head to try and clear his eyes.
Randolph: No....it.....Mom!?
It was Naomi.
Naomi: Son!
She helped him up and hugged him. Randolph at this point had his eyes forming tears.
Randolph: Mom! I thought you were....!?
Naomi: I thought you wouldn't remember me....
Randolph: I do!
Naomi: I'm so glad to have you back....
Randolph: You too mom.....
Naomi: Where's your brother?
Randolph: Safe....
Naomi: Oh good....I hope Ray found him....
Randolph: Dad!? He's alive too!?
Naomi: Yes...we all are...
Randolph: What's going on mom?
Naomi: I'll tell you.....

As Randall went down, he noticed a bag that could carry his book. Figuring it would be good to know more, he placed the book inside and zipped the bag up and continued down.
Randall: Ok....
Randall, Ray, and Readagar were now in the living room, as Sully and Mike drag in a door.
Sully: Well...we got the door...
Mike: It was hard getting this thing here.....
Ray: The main thing now is getting that key back....
Randall: For Randolph...and...my mom....
Ray:???
Readagar: So five of us?
Randall: Your coming?
Readagar: Randall remember...us Boggs and Vipers are family....sort a speak....
Sully: Ok....
Randall: Your coming!?
Sully: Randall, this concerns us too....
Mike: Yeah, I mean all we got to find is a medal....
Mike: How hard can it be?
Randall: (If you would have spent more in banishment you would know more...)
Randall: As I told you it leads to New York?
Sully: Yeah....but its one that was in the stockpile....
Randall:???? Well....good....
Randall: The only reason I'm letting you two come, is to get a sample of what I've been through....
Sully:.....
Ray: Son....can you do this?
Randall: Of course dad....
Ray:....
Sully: Well....
Mike: Sully...this thing doesn't have power...
Readagar: I have a station in the bottom rooms...
*
Sully places the door in the station.
Randall: Ok...lets go...
Randall quickly enters the door followed by the others.....
*
(ZZZOOOPPP!)
Randall came into there destination, but slammed into a wall.
Randall: Ehh....
He fell as Ray came in, landing on his four feet on the ground, going over to Randall.
Mike and Sully dropped down with Readagar. Readagar noticed the door was in mid air hanging on a clamp....They could see they were in some warehouse
Randall: Ehh...you didn't say it was in mid air!
Sully: Sorry..
Ray helps Randall up.
Ray: Well son...where are these friends of yours....?
Randall:.....

Unknown
A couple of humans were in a room filled with computers, radars, and various equipment. They were all sitting in chairs, besides one...
Solider:...Sir!
The standing man, his face covered by darkness, came over to him.
????: Yes...
Solider: I have just seen a disturbance on the screen...
????: Where?
Solider: Right near New York sir...
????: That must be them.....
Solider: Send some troops sir...?
????: Only a couple.......
????: They may lead us to the keys...

(Errrk)
Ray peered out, there location seemed remote from the city, so no houses were around.
Ray: Oh....
Ray looked at the city.....Randall seemed to carelessly open the door completely.
Ray:!!!
Randall: Its ok dad...
Ray:....
Randall looked at the city.
Randall: There it is....
Ray: Oh....
Readagar came out next, but attached himself to the wall and climbed up to the warehouse's roof.
Readagar: What a site...
Sully and Mike came out next.
Sully: Wow...
Mike: Why couldn't we be banished here?
Mike: No snow, pretty lights.....
Randall edged forward.
Randall: This city is where I meet one of my f....
Suddenly a gun came out of the shadows and was aimed to Randall's neck.
Randall:!!!!!
Ray: Randall!..
Voice: Don't move!
Another gun came out of the shadows and pointed itself to Rayford, then two other humans emerged from the warehouse's sides.
Randall: Err.....a trap....
Readagar could see the whole thing.
Readagar: I'll get th....
(PWWRRR!)
Randall: Red!
Readagar fell to the ground in front of the warehouse. He was still on the ground clutching his shot leg.
Readagar: Ahh!
Randall:!!!
Randall started toward him, but the human near him, slammed his gun into Randall's chest. This caused him to fall on his back. To make sure he didn't get away, th human placed his foot on Randall's tail.
Randall: Ahh!
Ray: Randall!!!
Human: Don't move!
Ray: Err!
Randall tried to get away, but he was pinned down.
Sully: Randall!
The human from the roof jumped down and trailed his gun on Readagar. At that time, Randall's human placed his gun to his head.
Ray: Son!
Human: Where are those keys boy!
Randall: I don't know!
Human: Where are they!!!
Randall: I'm not telling you!
Human: Wrong answer!
Red/Ray/Sul/Mike:!!!!!!
Human: Bye lizard!
Randall:!!!!!
(Whoof! Clang!)
A small knife like blade appeared in the guns ammunition compartment making it not able to fire.
All:!!!???
Voice: You don't think you'll be hurting my friend now will ya?
They looked to the dark area to see...
Randall: Sean!!!!??
Sean was there, in black clothes and a silver sword in his hand.
Sean: I knew I'd see you again Randall....
The human with Readagar trailed his gun on Sean.
Randall:!!!!
Another voice: Hey!
Human:!!!
The human turned.
Human:!!!!
(POW!)
He was socked in the face by Joy....
Randall: Joy!
Joy too was dressed in black. She gave Randall a smile.
Human with Randall: Meddling ki...
(SLASH!)
His gun split in two.
Sean: Sorry, you wanted that rare or well done!
Human:!!!!
Sean summersault kicked him letting him fall, and Randall free..
Other humans:!!!! Lets get out of here, report to the boss!
The others ran, the one with Randall got up and ran away. Randall picked himself up as Joy came over and hugged him.
Joy: Randy! You came back!
Randall: Guys!
Sean: Told you we'll met again
They all hug.
Joy: You kept your promise you came back!
Ray:!!!??? Randall....
The three stopped.
Ray: You know these two?!
Randall: These are my friends dad....
Ray:....
Sean: Mr. Boggs?
Joy: Oh......
Sean: Hmph have to admit you got his looks Randall....
Ray:????
Sully at that time helped Readagar up.
Sully: Who are they?
Mike: Yeah...
Mike: Its like somebody turned two pages at once....
Sean: We'll explain....
*
Sean and Joy had took them to a house not so far from there location. They were lead to a living room that was white with a computer, two couches, a T.V., and a fireplace. Readagar was resting on the couches holding a cloth with a solution on it while listening to the conversation.
Sully: Your the one that brought him back?
Mike: Great job....
Sean got up from the chair he was in and approached them.
Sean: Lets just say....
(POW!)
Sean socked Sully in the jaw making him drop down.
Randall: (Now that's a friend)
Mike tried to help Sully up.
Sean: If it wasn't for you this wouldn't have happened!
Sully finally got up.
Sean: I would kill you right now but I believe Randall and his father have an important matter to discuss
Mike and Sully sat down in seats away from Sean.
Joy: I'm so glad you kept your promise together...
Randall smiles at her....
Ray: I'm surprised he did...
Randall: Dad...
Ray: (Chuckle)
Joy: So what's going on?
They explain.
Sean: Oh....there's just one thing I don't understand....
Randall looked at both of them.
Randall: Hey...wait a minute...
Randall: You....guys don't look older at all....
Sean:???
Randall: I mean ten years should do something...
Sean: Ten years?
Joy: It seemed allot shorter than that....
Randall: You look exactly like you guys did years ago.....
Sean:???
Mike: What?
Mike: You guys miss a couple of years or something?
Ray: Randall...
Randall: Yeah....
Ray: What....did Randolph's machine do?
Randall:???.....
Readagar: I can answer that....
Readagar: It was to destroy this planet...
Sean:.....
Ray: What about the parts....
Readagar: Control panel, D.N.A extractor, la.....
Ray: Oh no....
Randall: What dad?
Ray: That D.N.A extractor might have possible activate Monster D.N.A
Randall:???
Ray: Meaning anyone with Monster D.N.A can be fused with it....
Randall:????
Sully:?
Sean: So...if a human had monster D.N.A. with them....it alters human D.N.A?
Ray: Yes.....but you two don't have any...
Sean: Actually....I do...
All:!!!???
Sean pulled out Randall's I.D. card.
Sean: Randall could have had plenty of D.N.A. on this....
Sean: And I have always kept it with me....
Ray: I suppose that passes....
Readagar left to find a bed room at this point.
Ray: But what about Joy?
Joy:!!! Well I....!
Randall butted in placing his hand near her mouth.
Randall: She has the D.N.A.! She...umm...well she just has it!
Randall looked at his dad, Sully and Mike were confused, and Sean tried to keep back from laughing.
Randall(Whispering to Joy): Icksnay on the k-i-s-s....
Joy nodded, a little amused at that, and Randall moved his hand away.
Sean: So we are like you guys...
Sean: Were older but our body structure doesn't change?
Ray: Exactly....
Sean: Ok....now you guys need to explain...
Randall: Ok...
Randall and everyone else explained the situation.
Sean: Hmm....You guys are in big trouble...
Randall: So you guys helping u...
Sean: Of course!
Joy: Were always beside you Randy!
Randall: Thanks.....really...
Sean: Ok...so Randall....where did you lose this medal?
Randall: I....lost it at a mall....
Sean:?? What kind of mall?
Randall: One called "FSK"
Sean: FSK!
Ray: You know this place?
Sean: Yes Frederick Scott Key Mall....
Sean: That's in my home town....
Ray: Alright so we go there...
Sean: Wait....lets leave tomorrow night...
Ray:???
Joy: Yeah...you guys need rest for tomorrow...who knows what can happen....
Ray: Well..
Mike was already asleep....
Ray:???
Randall: Well dad....might as well...
Ray: Well...ok...
Sean: Good, we have a couple rooms down here and upstairs...help yourselves to anyone...
Ray: Ok....well rest tonight human....
Ray starts over to another room.
Randall: Da...
Ray already left into the room.
Randall:....
Sean: He's not like you Randall....
Randall: I guess he isn't....
*
Sully and Mike had already fallen asleep in a room upstairs with Readagar. Ray was on the couch in the living room, deciding to not leave his son with a "human". Joy was in the room taking care of Readagar, and Sean was unpacking a sleeping back near the fire, next to Randall who was reading the diary.
Sean:?? What's that?
Randall looked up at him.
Randall: My...fathers diary...
Sean: Oh personal...sorry...
Randall: Its ok...
Sean climes into his sleeping back.
Randall: Say Sean....how did you know where we were anyhow?
Sean: Oh....look closely at your tail will ya...
Randall:???
Randall placed the book down and flipped his tail over so he could see it and examined it.
Randall: I don't see anything....?
Sean: Well...
Sean took a small device out of his pocket. It looked like a small controller.
Randall:???
He pressed a switch.
Randall: Huh?
Randall looked at his tail to see on of his scales were flashing red.
Randall: What the?
He looked at it closely to see a very small button shaped metal object on the scale.
Randall: What the heck is this thing?
Sean: A tracking device...
Sean: Remember when I told you I was there when you were banished?
Randall: Yeah...
Sean: Before they threw you through the door, that little guy attached itself to you...
Sean: And I can track you with this controller....
Randall: Wow....
Sean: Hey it might come in use again a pal?
Randall: Yeah...I guess so...
Randall placed his tail back to where it was, the flashing of the small object on one of the scales stopped.
Sean: See ya tomorrow buddy...
Sean falls asleep.
Randall:....(Well I got time...)
Randall opened the diary up again and starts to read.
*
"By the time Randall was 2, I took him to Monsters Inc. The future job he was going to be working in. He need to be the next Boggs to work here, after Randolph of course...."
Ray had Randall in his left arms and a metal pail in his bottom right hand. He had already gotten to M.I. and stopped at the entrance.
Ray: "We Scare Because We Care" hmph....we need a new one...
Randall looked up at the words.
Randall: What's that dad?
Ray: Or saying son...
Voice: And a good one Mr. Boggs....
Ray turned.
Ray: Ah Mr. Waternoose..
Waternoose the 2nd: Ah my top scarer pulsing to work early eh?
Ray: But of course....
Waternoose the 2nd: And who's this?
Ray: Oh, my son Randall....
Ray: Randall, this is my boss Mr. Waternoose....
Randall waved his top left hand at him.
Waternoose the 2nd: Ah yes, young Randall Boggs...
Waternoose the 2nd: Taking after your father a boy?
Randall nodded.
Ray: Well Randolph before him but...
Ray: As well with us Boggs its easy to become top scarer..
Waternoose the 2nd: Well if young Randall here is to become a scarer...
Waternoose the 2nd: The third generation of Waternoose will be his boss....
Ray: Oh...
Waternoose: Yes, my younger brother is taking on after me when I retire...
Ray: Well, I hope he's as good as you...
The two laugh and head in....
" I had taken Randall to Scare Floor F where I, his brother and himself later on, was working. Of course my assistant Ferson watched you as I scared those kids..."
Ray came out of the door, telling Ferson to get another door, and went over to Randall, who was on the desk looking at the big floor.
Ray: Like it son?
Randall: This place is big!
Ray: Of course it is...
Voice: Needs to fill all the monsters that's for sure...
Ray turned at the voice. His face expression turned to a frustrated type of look, as a monster that looked exactly like Sully came close.
Ray:.....
Randall: Who's that dad?
Ray: Someone you shouldn't meet son...
Ray: Take a look at that computer son....
Randall turned seeing an open laptop near the back of the table and went over to it.
The "Sully" monster came over to Rayford.
Ray: William, don't even go near my son....
William: You don't have to be grumpy about it....
Ray: I don't want him catching "Second Best Flu"!
William: Jeez.....
William stepped back a bit.
William: So, he taking on after you?
Ray: After my son Randolph of course....
Ray: Will be better than that son of y...
William: Don't go on James now!
William starts forward but is stopped by Rayford's hands.
Ray: Don't even think about it...
Ray pushes him back.
Ray: When my son becomes Top Scarer...
William looks past Rayford to see Randall searching on the computer.
Ray: You and your son will stay away from him...
William: Ray...
Ray: Just keep away...
William's assistant: Got one!....
William:...hmph...
He goes over to his station.
Ray:....
He looks back at Randall.
"Of course I knew William and his son James Sullivan. I knew Randall, and if Randall's brother had the chance to go against one of them, would keep them in that second spot till the end. I didn't want Randall to know them until he was older."
Ray exited the M.I. building, Randall walking beside him as they hopped into the car's front seats. As they were driving...
Randall: Who was that bear dad?
Ray: A scarer son....one you shouldn't know about...not yet...
Randall: Ok....
Ray:...Say son...
Randall: Yeah....?
Ray: Promise me you'll become top scarer...
Ray: And so those Sullivan's a thing or two....
At that time Randall didn't know much about promises, or who the Sullivan's were either...but..
Randall: I will dad! Just like you!
Ray smiled at him.
*
Randall closes the book.
Randall: And I am...
Randall sets the book down near him as he slithers into his sleeping bag.
Randall:(He knew Sullivan's father?....)
Randall drifted off to sleep, thinking of the many occurrences....
*
Meanwhile......
Randolph was on the bench seeming to be asleep, his head resting on Naomi's lap. Naomi had told Randolph everything and they had fallen asleep later afterwards. Then the door opened, waking up Naomi, and waking Randolph up barely. Then 2 humans came in, two outside with guns.
Naomi: What do you want?!
The humans didn't respond. One of them grabbed Randolph's right arms and picking him up, and the other one caught his left arms and they carried him out, Randolph still halve awake. In response, Naomi stood up and ran to the door.
Naomi: Where are you taking h....!
The door shot shut.
Naomi: Bring him back!
*
Randolph:.......Ehh...huh...?
When Randolph awoke, he was clamped onto an operating table by metal straps. He was in a lab filled with various machines and computer equipment. Around were 4 solider looking humans and about 5 scientists.
Randolph: Where.....am...I!?
One of them came over.
Scientist: Much like the other one....
Randolph:!! Let me go! My mom to!
Scientist: We just need information....
Randolph:!!??
The scientist goes over to a desk with various equipment and the man that was in that one room with all that tracking equipment came over, he had brown hair, a straight face, and blue eyes.
????: Well...his son...not the one we need though...
Randolph: What? Randall!? You leave him alone!
???? walked over behind Randolph's head and stopped.
????: You brother knows the location of some items of importance to me...
Randolph: (The Keys?....)
????: Tell me...where is he going?
Randolph gave him a grin.
Randolph: Why not try the traditional way....Look!
????: Hmph...
????: Then....
He grabbed Randolph's fronds and pulled hard.
Randolph: AHH!
????: If you can't tell us freely! Then we'll force you!
Randolph: AHH! EHH!
???? let go.
Randolph: Ahh...(Breathing fast)
????: Do it!
Randolph: ( What is....he...doing!?)

Read and review. I was so glad I finally got a piece of Sullivan there!
