YEAH! THE LONG AWAITED 12 DAY'S OFF FROM SCHOOL IS HERE! If anyone is about to read this, you may want to grab a Coke and some Doritos, because this is a long chapter. Note that I will most likely be dumping a payload of chapters in the next couple of day's for each story I am working on. I got word from Randall that he will show you what his Christmas was like in the human world, and something's of what he used to do for Christmas in his own world, in the next, next chapter of his story.
Chapter 8 Trouble Pinned On Randall
It was the next morning now everyone got up and were to meet in Randall's room a couple of minutes later. Then later everyone was there. The hotel had a small ravine near Readagar's room off on of the sides that ....Of course Randall's room had a back door that lead outside to a big open area with a road. The ravine also had a path that lead up to the road. Everyone else's was connected, and it seemed....they were the only ones there...Anyhow...
Sean: Ok....
Ray: First we need to find that Key before them....
Randall: Rescue My brother and...Naomi...
Mike: And I'm getting the heck outta here...
All: Mike!
Mike: Alright....I'm in...
Sully: So were do we look?
Sean: FSK...
Readagar: FSK?
Sean: A mall....
Joy: Ok Randall....Think.....were did you last see it?
Randall was right next to his father at this point, rubbing his head to try to remember...
Randall: Last time I had it on was when I......!!!
He hesitated and took a step away from Ray.
Ray:???
Randall:.......I had it on in front of the building and....
Ray: Son....you didn't....?
Everyone looked at the two.
Randall: I....
He tilted his head away from Ray.
Randall: I....must have lost it....in the snow...
Ray:.........
Sean:....???(He's lucky....I thought Ray would....)
Readagar: Someone's probably found it.....
Sean: (Hmm.....) Yeah....
Randall: Sorry dad......
Ray: Its.....not your fault son....I should have hid the medal as well...
Joy: Then how can we find your medal Randall?
Sean: Hmm....Was there anyone there? Anyone at all?
Randall raised his hand at being asked a simple question.
Randall: Yeah...that guy I hitchhiked with....
Ray: You rode in the back of a...!!!
Randall: Don't worry....I wasn't seen...
Sean: What van was it?
Randall: A supply van from a school....
Sean: I guess its the year supplier...
All except Joy and Sean:????
Sean: Meaning it picks up supplies for the new year, a couple van's do....
Sean: Hmm.....They do that every year....
Randall: Oh no...
Randall fell back , but Readagar caught him before he hit his head on the ground and pulled him back up.
Sully: What's the problem?.....
Sully didn't hear that last part of information.
Mike: Only Lizard Boy here lost the...
Sean locked his eye on Mike's.
Sean(Whispering): I'd be careful of what you say.....Could get you hurt..
Mike:!!!(Gulp)
Ray: He might have found and pawned it....
Sean:...Maybe we could put up fliers...
Joy: That will make it easier to find...
Randall went back into the conversation.
Randall: You think he could have missed it?....
Ray folded his two set's of arms.
Ray: Human's always take things away from you.....
Ray looks up seeing Sean and Joy giving him some sort of face expression that he didn't like.
Ray: No offense...
Sean: None taken...
Mike: Could we hurry up, I'm boiling like an egg....
Sean:.....Anyhow...Me and Joy will take a look at the scene...
Sean: You guy's just.....umm..
Joy: Hide....Well at least make sure no one sees you....
Sean: Yeah...
Sean went over and grabbed his coat and placed his hand on the knob of the back door in Randall's room, the car parked into a garage near there location. Sully and Mike went back to there room, as did Readagar. Ray headed into his, but stopped seeing Sean talk to Randall.
Sean: And Randall....
Randall: Yeah?
Sean: Be careful.....that military force would do anything for you....
Randall:???
Before he could say another thing, Sean and Joy left, Joy giving him a wink as she left.
Randall:???
*
Back in the "cell", Randolph was resting on the cold marble bench, Naomi brushing back his scales from his fronds to his middle body. Randolph stayed there flat on his stomach as he moved his mouth, he seemed weak and tired, unable to move as well.
Randolph: What......did.....they do...?
Naomi: I don't know son.....
Naomi: But I'll so them a thing or two about hurting my boys....
Randolph pinned his eyes on her at the last word but then starred at his fogy reflection in the marble bench.
Randolph: I hope.....Randall's ok....
Naomi: Me too son.....me too....
Naomi: But get some sleep....
Randolph:......
*
Meanwhile....In the unknown room with the many tracking equipment....
Solider: Sir!
????: What is it?!
Solider: I found them!
????: Ah! Capture them!
Voice: Use three....
????: Only three?
Voice: The boy is who I want....but let those fools at the lab test on him first...
Voice: As...an insurance policy....
????:....Whatever you say boss.....
*
Randall was reading, a less important, entry in the diary. Readagar was looking out the window in the same room. Ray was also there watch the T.V., nothing fazed him but he was at the time watching the movie called "Earth V.S. The Spider". Sully was looking at a couple of books on the shelf's and Mike was waiting for the others to come.
Randall:.....
(Knock!)
Ray, Randall, and Readagar were about to stop what they were doing and answer the door, but Mike insisted to get it.
Mike: Well, that better be them...
Randall: (Hmph....like they would come back to see a little....)
Mike: Wha!?
All:!!!!
Sully turned at him.
Sully: What?
Mike: S-S-S....!
Sully moved over as Randal closed his book to get up.
Sully:!!!! Slade?!
Slade: Hi Sullivan....
Randall: What!? Slade!?
The other three got up and went over to the door. Randall blunted his way through so he could talk.
Randall: What are you doing here!?
Slade: I came to see Readagar....
Readagar:???? Me?
Slade: Alone...
Ray: This is all sudden Slade...
Slade: Time is wasting....
Readagar: Ok....You guys....wait in here...
Readagar heads out and closes the door.
Readagar: So.....what did you..
(SLAM!)
Slade slammed his fists down on Readagar's head, the force of four hands caused him to fall unconscious.
Slade: Sorry Readagar....
Slade: You need to be used for now....
Slade turned to the road up ahead.
Slade:!!!!!
He grabbed Readagar and disappeared.
*
Randall:....Well....you did say he use to study here...right?
Ray: Oh...yeah....
Sully:....!!!!!!!
Sully: Guys!
Randall: What now? The ice scream tr....!!!!!!!
Ray: What?..!!!!!!
Outside, a white van was coming to the parking area. Men in the army type suits that were the ones that attacked them when they entered the world.
Randall:!!!!!!!!
*
Sean: Find it anywhere!?
Joy: No luck!
The two had arrived about a halve an hour ago, still looking for the medal.
Sean: Ah this is pointless....
Joy: It could be anywhere...
Sean check over by the bushes.
Sean: Hmm...
(BEEP! BEEP!)
Sean starred at his left pocket.
Sean:!!!!
Joy: What's...!
Sean seemed to fall into the bush patch but got up, placing something back in his pocket and ran over to Joy.
Sean: Hurry!
Joy: What!?
Sean ran past her, aiming for the car, but turned his face so she could hear him.
Sean: Randall!
Joy:!!!!!
She ran after him.
*
(Burst!)
The door to the room busted open. The first thing to appear was the long black tube of a Sniper-type gun. Then the figure of a solider came in, two others coming up behind him.
Sniper: I don't see anything.....
They slowly moved in, looking in every possible direction.
Solider: There here alright....
Sniper: Shh.....
(......(Slow deep breaths)....)
Sniper:....
He turned his gun to the right wall.
Sniper: Not clever at all!
(POORRREEWWW!)
The bullet actually went right through the wall and into Readagar's room, hitting Randall in the middle part of his left arms.
(PSSST!)
Randall: AHH!
Sniper: In there!
Randall fell to the floor clutching his wound.
Ray: Randall!
Ray crouched down near him.
Ray:!!! Its....not a serious one....!
Randall: Dad...Hurry! There coming!
Ray:....
Ray turned his head to Mike and Sully.
Ray: You two go!
Sully: But Randall he can't...!
Randall: Just go! Before were all dead!
Mike: Come on Sully!
Mike fidgeted with the window and it opened and he quickly made his decent. The sound of the door being pounded on.
Sully: Randall.....be careful...
He nodded as Sully made his decent.
Voice: Got it!
Ray: Fast!
*
(BURST!)
The Sniper entered in the middle, tracking his gun in the room.
Sniper:......???
Solider2: The window!
The sniper went over, seeing Sully and Mike climb down a ladder like design on the hotels side leading into the ravine. The Sniper lowers his gun, pointing it near them.
Sniper: A little sport will never hurt....
Sully: Huh?
He looks up with Mike.
Both:!!!!
Sniper: The ravine will kill'em!
(Smack!)
Randall's bottom feet hit the Sniper in the back, causing him to fall out.
Sniper: AAAAHHHHHHHH!
Solider: Hold it!
Ray came down and hit the other two, slamming them on the floor.
Randall: That....was....for shooting me!
Ray: Yeah...
He goes over to Randall.
Ray: Nice kick...
Randall: Thanks...
Solider:...ERR!
Ray:...!!!!!!
Before Ray could stop him, the solider unhitched a dart gun from his belt and shot one at Randall.
(THINCCK!)
Randall: EHCK!
Ray slammed his bottom hands on the humans head then turned to Randall.
Ray: Randall!!!!!
He started backwards.
Randall: Randall no!
Ray ran over to him, but was too late. Randall fell off into the ravine.
Ray: Randall!!!!
He looked down, Sully and Mike as well, seeing Randall laying down there in the ravine.
Ray:!!!!!
*
Sully:...!!!! Randall wake up!
The reason Sully was doing this, was because two scientist looking men came over to his body.
Man with gun: Should I take them out?
Man: No, were here for Randall!
The two went over and picked him up.
Ray: Son!!!
He slithered down as fast as he could, then up th hill, seeing them place him in the van. But....the drove off, Ray barely catching the dust from the wheels.
Ray: No!
Sully and Mike dropped down, going over to him.
Sully: They....they got him....
Mike: Never thought I'd see that for lizard boy.....
Ray turned, anger and fear in his eyes.
Ray: Shut up you eyeball!
Mike:!!!!!!.........
Ray turned to where the van drove off.
Ray: I have to get back my son...!
(ERRRKK!)
Sliding in front of them, coming from the opposite road, was Sean's car. Not even waiting till it came to a complete stop, Sean opened his door.
Sean: Where's....!?
Ray: They have him!!!
Sean:!!! Get in!
The 3 scamper into the car as fast as the could.
*
With the description of the van, they followed its trail to a high contained facility. Scientist, military, search lights, almost like a prison, but it seemed more like a large lab facility. The group was behind some bushes that was a fair distance away from the facility. Ray could see, while telling the others, that Randall was being taken in.....on a stretched.
Ray: I'm going in!
Ray was about to go down, but Sean grabbed his tail, pulling him back.
Ray: Hey!
Sean: We can't set a foot in there!
Sean: We'll all be caught!
Ray: But...!
Joy: We have to save Randall!
Sean: I know...
Sully: Yeah...these guys are serious...
Mike: And I'm not becoming Swiss cheese...
Sean: I know Randall....he may find a way out...
Sean:....( I hope....)
*
Randall:..............
In Randall's mind, he could feel something on top of his head, and he could hear voices of people. He could also feel that his vision was coming back to him.....But he fell into that ravine? How could he have....
Randall:.....Ehh....
Randall shook his head, trying to let his vision return. He noticed that he was strapped to a stretcher on his back. He moved his eyes to see a bandage around his head and fronds. The looking around seemed to get worse. He was in a lab room. Two scientists around him. They didn't seem to notice he was awake.
Scientist1: Ah....I never thought that theory would be proven!
Scientist2: We have to tell Blake thanks...
Scientist2: Let us study him for a couple of hours.....
Scientist1: Yes.....
The scientist placed a hand on Randall's middle scales.
Randall: Hey!
They jump back.
Scientist: It can talk!?
Scientist: Fascinating.....
Randall struggled, but stopped when he felt pain in his head.
Randall: Let me out of here!
Scientist1: Too bad we cannot allow that...
Scientist2: We need to get as much information out of you as we can!
Scientist1: Of course.....there is that insurance....
The scientist reveals a needle. But in the tube wasn't a liquid, but a gas substance. Only knowing that liquid goes in a needle, Randall tried to break free.
Randall:!!!!!
Scientist1: Hold him still!
Scientist2: Yeah....
The scientist pressed his hands on Randall's neck and head. The needle got closer, and was stuck into Randall's body.
Randall: AAAAAHHH!
The gas substance filled into him was as cold as ice.
Randall: Argh!
The scientist pulled it away as the other one sealed it with a patch, letting his hands off Randall.
Randall: Ahh...(Breathing fast)
The scientist starred at Randall. He was, at that point, immovable and in pain.
Scientist: Lets get this over with....
Randall looked behind the scientist, his vision a little blurry. He could see a shining object drop down behind the scientist.
Randall:!!!!!
Scientist: Now let me say that this will hurt....
Randall:......!!
(SWACK!)
Scientist: ARGH!
He dropped to the floor. A large cut on his back. Randall looked to see Slade drop down from the ceiling.
Other Scientist: AHH!
Slade moved out of Randall's vision.
Voice: ARRGGHH!
Slade came back into view.
Slade: Miss me.....
Randall tried to grin, but couldn't even budge his mouth.
Slade: Hmm....(Whistle)
Randall looked up seeing three other monsters drop down from a hole in the ceiling. On had Randall's body structure, 4 legs like his. But it had one set of arms that were feather wings, a fur stripe down its scaled body, a beak head, red eyes, and instead of fronds, it had three feathers. It looked like a cross between a reptile and a phoenix. Another was Readagar. The last one had his body structure as well, but he had a shorted tail and down body, which meant he could stand on two feet. He had claws instead of fingers, no fronds, and blue eyes.
Slade: Don't worry Randall....
Randall:??.....
*
Mike had a small white board and was writing on it with a marker.
Mike: Ok then, you go around here, me and Sully here, and you guys bring up the rear.
Sean: Good plan...but.
The others: What does football tactics have to do with this!!??
Mike: Um....well....uh....
Ray: Forget it!
Ray: I'm going in there al...!
Voice: Hey!
They all turned farther down the road.
Ray: Slade!!???
Slade: In the scales....oh...I think these guys an unsigned contract because....
He turned away, seeing that the two monsters were holding Randall, Readagar right near them.
Ray: Son!!!
Ray ran over, followed by the others. When Rayford got there, he looked at Randall. He seemed dazed and tired, not the normal kind..., waving his head a little back and forth.
Ray:!!! What happen to him!?
Slade:....Been injected with Tampered Hydroxide Gas....
Ray:???? What!?
Slade: A chemical dangerous to our kind...
Ray:!!!!!
Joy went up.
Joy: Randall?
Randall: Oh.......
Joy:!!! Who are these two!?
Slade: A couple of friends of mine...
Slade: Felix Volcan...
He directed to the phoenix.
Slade: And Boan Sallyion....
Felix positioned Randall's left arms move over his shoulder.
Felix: We shouldn't be chit-chatting!
Boan: Those guys are after us!
Sean: What!
They turned to the road that the van, carrying Randall, used to get in was being occupied by jeeps heading there way.
Ray:!!!!
Sully: What do we do!?
Readagar:...Anyone for a car chase?
All:!!!!????
*
Readagar had found an abandoned car near where they had come up with Randall and Slade drove it up. Sean, Joy, Rayford, and Randall went in Sean's car as the others went into the one Slade was driving. The cars pushed back and rushed off, followed by three jeeps.
Joy looked back in her rear view mirror seeing the jeeps turn a curve a while back, but gaining on them. Sean was driving, Joy was beside him. Behind Sean was Randall and beside him was Rayford.
Joy: We can't just outrun them!
Ray: And I can't fight on the road!
Sean: I got an idea...
Joy: What!?
Sean: Take the wheel...
Joy: Wha!?
Sean: Just do it!
Joy does it as Sean opens a cleverly hidden hatch on the top of his car and climes out.
Slade:.....Huh?
Slade was upfront driving and the others were in the vacant part. He could see Sean was signaling something to him.
Slade: Ah....
He turned to the back.
Slade: Any weaponry back there!?
Sully: Gun's!? I'm not handle any!
Readagar was looking through some of the various boxes. One that he opened had 4 large guns attached to the case.
Readagar: Yeah....
Boan: Finally some fun!
Readagar took the set out.
*
Sean had most of his body on the car, feeling the wind on his back from the speed of the car in the other direction. Slade pulled his vehicle a little ahead, then near Sean's car. The back of the van opened. Boan and Felix crouched down trailing their guns on the back road. Readagar had one in his right hands, and was holding on up with his top left. Sean placed down his hands as Readagar threw it to him. Catching it, he looked at the road behind them
Sean: Here they come!
From behind them, two jeeps came up. Men on each side poked out of the sides with handguns. Sean turned his head so the others in the car would hear him.
Sean: Look out for any....
(PSST!)
A bullet hit the cars side causing the others inside to duck down.
Boan: You guys ok!!!!?
Joy stuck her hand up, giving the thumps up from hearing his voice.
Readagar: Aim for the tires!
Gun shots flew from left and right, the sounds of metal chipping and the breaking of wind. Readagar concentrated and hit the left front tire of the first car.
(BUST!RHRHRHRHRH!)
Driver in the car: What the!?
Sean: Wait for it....
The car turned left a bit from the blown tire.
Sean: Now!
He shot a bullet at the back left tire.
Driver: I can't....AH!
He turns, slamming his car into a tree.
Sean: Yeah!
Readagar: Nice shooting Tex!
Sean: Same...
Boan: Duck!
Readagar: What...?
(PSHT!)
Readagar: AH!
A bullet hit the cap of his right top leg, causing him to kneel down on the area he was on, clutching the wound with his bottom hands.
Felix: Red!
Slade looked at his rear view mirror.
Slade: Oh shoot! Incoming!
(POP!)
One of there left tires burst, making the car swing. Readagar, have loss his balance at the time, was thrown out
(CLASP!)
Thankfully for him, Felix caught him.
Readagar: This is not what I intended about a car chase!
Felix: Don't......worry....I.....got ya!
Boan: Slade!
Slade: I know!
Sean at the point noticed Readagar hanging out of the van.
Sean:!!!!
Ray: Readagar!
Joy: What!?
Sean: He's hanging out of the.....!
(PHSST!)
A bullet slid past Sean's right palm.
Sean: ARGH!
Joy: Sean!
Sean: EH....Son of a...
He shot a bullet at the other cars driver window. Instead of hitting the driver, it hit the controls near the wheel, causing the car to spin out of control. It slid back and hit the third car that was lagging behind.
Sean: Ehh....
They two cars sped off, the jeeps in a pile wreak.
*
Sean: Dang pain...
Sean turned seeing Slade slow down and Readagar being pulled back in. He went carefully back inside the car, sitting in the seat beside the driving one.
Joy: You ok?
Sean: Yeah......just a scratch...
Ray: Thanks back there....
Sean: Yeah, yeah....
Sean:.....How's Randall?
Ray turned to him, he seemed halve asleep, breathing slowly.
Ray: Randall?
Randall:......
Ray: I think something is hurting him...I think that chemical that's in him...!
Sean:...
Sean moved over his good hand to Randall's bottom right one. He felt very cold like ice almost.
Sean: His body temperature is dropping I think...
Sean: Lets head some place warm ok Joy....
Joy: Sure...
Ray:....
Ray moved more beside Randall, placing his arms and tail around him to keep warm, much like what Randolph did.
Ray: Don't worry son...you'll be alright...
Randall:........
*
???? was on the phone with a solider that was at the scene.
????: Dang it!
He slammed the phone back on the receiver and turned to a shadow near a window. The room was dark, but barely lit by a dim light on a desk. The room seemed like one that belongs in an office building.
????: They got away!
Voice:....(Chuckle)
????: Huh?
Voice: (Laughing)
????: Wha....What's so funny!?
????: We lost them!
The shadow seemed to lift two arms.
Voice: Those fool's!
Voice: They need the cure from us for that boy....
The shadow seemed to turn whatever face it had to the man.
Voice: And well give it to them.....
????:.......
Voice: Prepare a couple troops and get that reverse chemical....
Voice: And....bring that wife and her kid....
????: Ok....if your sure....
???? slowly walked out off a glass door as the shadow turned.
Voice: Oh soon....
It extended its purple hand again.....but....in it was a picture. The picture had Randall on it. Randall was small, sitting on some kind of rock, Rayford beside him smiling along. The picture included a hard to see house and grass as the ground.
Voice: Soon Rayford.....
It ripped the photo in two, reveling another purple hand holding the part with Ray and the first one with Randall.
Voice: Soon.....You...
It dropped the halve with Rayford on the floor.
Voice: And your son....will pay...
Voice: Too bad you dragged him in with you!
The hands ripped the halve with Randall in it in two, making Randall's face and body separate as the pieces fell to the floor near the halve with Ray.
*
PHEW.....It took me a heck of a time making this. But it was worth it. Who is ???? and this mysterious creature? You will find out soon....soon....soon. The next chapter will be short, I think. But I have to gather ideas for the other chapters since I haven't written them down though...Happy Christmas Randall Fan's and M.I. Fan's! Note: I'd like to know who you are ME. Not me as in "me". I mean the ME that has been reviewing my stories. Who are you?
