This chapter is a long one (Thanks for your review Joy). There are a few unexplained area's that will be cleared up later. This is also another turning point chapter, sadly there's a part at the end that's pretty sorrowful for Randall, but.....well you'll see....
Chapter 15 Randall's Trouble
(Drip)
(Drip)
Randall:...........
Randall had seemed to be knocked out for hours.....but he slowly started to wake up. First, his mind came awake...
Randall: (That...Sullivan! I knew he would betray me!)
Randall: ( I shouldn't have been so blind!)
Then....his scales recovered, making him able to feel again. As his eyes were still closed, he felt he was floating somehow....and have of his body was a different temperature.
Randall: ( Where did he take me anyhow!?)
Soon, he was able to move.....First he opened his eyes, slowly.
Randall: Ehh...
He shook his head to get back his sight. He could see he was in a metal room, a single door in front of him in the distance. Then he found out halve of his body was in a small pool. The pools water reflected onto the wall's as its miniature waves hit Randall's scales.
Randall: Huh?
He had no idea why Sullivan would knock him out, then dump him in a soothing pool. At that, he pulled back his right top hand to where Sully had dart him. The area was in pain, but not bleeding.
Randall: I have no time for this!
He moved his feet underwater, making sure they were working, and then his arms. Both sets of each were working.
Randall: (Guess that dart didn't do much after all...)
Using his suction cupped hands, he slowly climbed out of the pool. He had gotten up when something caught him...
(SSSHH!)
Randall:!!!
His fronds perked up, knowing that the door had opened. Randall stood there.....waiting to know who...or what it was.
Voice: Randall...you feel better already.
Randall: Err!
He slowly turned around in his position, seeing Sully in front of the closed door.
Randall: You!
He was about to attack him, but noticed that his bottom body was still dipping with water, making it easy for him to fall right in front of the blur rug.
Randall: I'm going to rip you apart with my teeth this time!
Sully: Hehehe....too bad Randall..
Sully slowly trailed the edge of the pool, its light reflecting on Randall's scales and Sullies fur, heading to Randall.
Sully: Remember when I caught you?....Oh...that was grand...
Sully: The way you tried to kill me....but then you gave up with a simple hold..
Randall was suddenly enraged with the remembrance of that day.
Randall:!!!! Don't EVER talk about that day!
Sully chuckled and continued.
Sully: You were a helpless rodent!
Sully: A snake which I wanted so much to skewer....
Randall:!!!!!
Sully: Ha ha ha....I didn't even give you mercy...
Sully stopped, not too far from Randall. They were each starring at each other, Randall outraged and Sully calm and slick.
Sully: Like you deserved any....
Randall:!!! That's it! You die now!
Randall's old anger returned, without hesitation, he leaped at Sully....
(GLUG!)
Suddenly he was stopped. Randall was amazed and a little scared of how fast Sully was. Randall was held in mid-air, Sullies right hand gripping Randall's neck.
Randall:!!!!
Randall tried to lifted off Sullies hand with his top set, but without success.
Sully: You weakling!
Sully lowered Randall back onto his feet, Randall tried to move away, but Sullies grip was too strong.
Sully: I was waiting so long to take you down!
Sully gripped harder, making Randall get down on his knees.
Randall: ERRRKKKK!
Sully: I was going to kill you for what you did!
Sully: But I had a better idea....
Sully: What's worse?
Sully: Being trapped in the human world!
Randall: ERRRKK!
Randall's tail fell flat on the floor.
Sully: Being around ones that hated your kind!
Sully: Making you suffer slow and painful!
Randall: ERRKKKRRKK!
Sully: But we had plan's for you!
Sully released his grip, making Randall fall to the floor. Randall's feet and tail on the floor as his sets of arms elevated his head, which was gasping for air.
Randall: (Heavy breathing)
Sully:...Failure...
Sully went over to the door, avoiding the gasping lizard, and opened it. From behind him, 2 men with a stretcher came in, heading over to Randall. When they got over, Randall couldn't do anything, feeling that his body was paralyzed by the grip. The men then placed Randall's head and neck down, making his whole body lay flat on the floor.
(Cluck!)
Randall: Argh!
One of them pulled Randall's first set of arms up and cuffed them, as the other one cuffed his bottom set. The cuffs themselves locked Randall's hands together instead of ones used by cops. Then they picked the unmovable monster up and placed him on the stretcher. They then took him to the door, but stopped by Sullies hand. Randall was going to chomp his face off, but was met again by Sullies fist.
(Pow!)
The blow was the same as the on he got hit with when he tried to choke Sully that one day.....This caused him to fall back to sleep.
Sully: Hmm?
Randall's forehead revealed a cut, one that was bleeding out Ectoplasm.
Sully: Ehh...get him fixed up first....make sure that he isn't bleeding or anything
Man: Yes sir...
They head out with Randall, the door closed behind them, leaving Sully in the room.
Sully:.....(Laughing)
Sully: Oh Randall...
Sully: Never forget the past!
On the wall, Sullies shadow was shown. Although....The shadow...seemed to change shape.......
*
Sean:...Where is he?
Sean was eagerly tapping his foot on the carpet in front of the door. Joy was watching out the window to see if he was coming. Readagar was reading the paper while sitting in a chair. Ray was pacing back and forth, worried. After a while he stopped.
Ray: Sullivan wouldn't want him to work this long!
Sean stopped tapping his foot.
Sean: Maybe I should call....
Sean went over to the phone. Randall had kept Sullies number by it incase to call him to blow off some steam or discuss something important.
Sean: Mike should be home if Randall and Sully are working alone...
(Beep....Beep)
Sean: Mike? You there? Listen...
Voice: Mike? No this is Sully....you want to talk to Mike?
Sean: Sullivan!? I thought you were at M.I. with Randall!
Sully: No....he hadn't come in and I never told him to come over...
Sean:!!!!
Ray:?
Readagar: What?
Sean: Thanks...We need you to come here as fast as you can...
He placed down the phone, his hand shaking.
Joy: What is it?
Sean turned to her.
Sean: We have to go....
Sean rushed out of the room.
Ray: Wait!
The others follow.
*
Sean ran down the steps in front of the door, Ray and Joy following with Readagar close behind.
Joy: What is going on!?
Sean: Something's wrong!
Ray: What with Randall!?
The group stopped at the bottom of the steps, seeing Mike's car pull up, Sully inside it.
Mike: So what? The MonStar's loose the second quarter or what?
Ray then starred at Sully.
Ray: Sully!? Where's Randall!?
Sully: I don't know, I thought he was with you guy's....
Readagar: Is it me or...somehow...
All: Those guy's have him!
Everyone packed into Mikes car.
Mike: Hey, hey, hey! Watch it! This ones new...
Ray: I don't care if its new or not! Just step on it!
*
(ERRRKKK!)
Mike's car scatted to a stop and everyone piled out.
Sully: Wait, wait, wait!
Sean: What!?
Sully: What is going on here?!
Everyone stopped, but Ray continued.
Sean: Ray!
Rayford already went into the company.
Sean: Ehh....
Sully: What's going on?
Mike: And where's Lizard b....
Sean gave him another look.
Mike: Uh....Randall...
Sean: Listen Sully, you were here....
Sean: You told Randall to stay late because of something going on here at night....
Sully: No I wasn't...
Sully: I was at home with Mike...
Mike: And I told Celia to keep everyone calm...here...
Readagar: Sully...you have a brother or something?
Sully: No...
Sean: Then if you were at your home...
Joy: Then who was here?
Mike:....Something weird is going on here...
Sean: I don't get it....
Each of them ran inside.
*
Then they entered, Rayford went up to them, huffing air in and out.
Ray: I....I searched everywhere....
Mike: That fast?
Ray:.....I couldn't find him...!
Sean:....Everyone! Scare Floor F!
*
Sean already knew the building, which seemed strange to everyone except Joy. They made it, and Readagar spotted there next target.
Readagar: Bingo!
In Randall's station, was the door.
Joy: That door looks....different then the others that are around here...
Readagar: This must not be a company door.....
Sully: Then that means....!!!!
Sean: They have him....
Ray: What!?
Readagar held Ray back, as he was about to burst through the door.
Readagar: Calm down Rayford!
Ray: But!....but.....(sigh)
Ray settles down and Readagar releases Ray.
Sean: Wait....just to make sure...
Sean pulls out his Tracer.
Ray: A Tracer?
Sean: Yeah....a...human kind...
Sean: I can find Ran with this....
He turns one of its switch's and a blueprint of the Monsters Inc. building.
Sean: He's not here...
Sully: They have him!!
Ray: Oh no...
Readagar places his top right hand on Ray's left shoulder.
Readagar: Ray....we'll get him back...
Ray:....
Readagar: You son's a tough kid.....believe me...
Readagar rubs his head with his other top hand, then takes his hand off Ray.
Readagar: So how about it everyone?
Sean: Were not leaving Randall at all!
Joy: Tally ho!
Sully: Guess we have to stop them...
Mike: I'll be the private!
Sean:....Aw heck! Lets do it!
Ray: Ok so what's the....
(Crrk!)
All:!!!!
*
The door opens, and a head peers out.
Voice: The coast clear?
Human: Yeah....
Two humans then came out, each looking around the place.
Human1: Creepy...
Human2: Yeah....
(SLAM!)
Suddenly, both of there heads slammed into each other, knocking them to the floor unconscious. Readagar then materialized behind them, flipping one of there hats onto his head.
Readagar: Clear!
(Plunk!)
Everyone appeared onto the floor from behind the door.
Sean: Guess I'm not good at being thin!
Sully: I've done this before...
They each got up.
Sean: Anyone inside Read?
Readagar: Nope....empty room...
Mike: Phew...
Readagar: I think were safe in there...
Sean and Joy went in first, followed by Sully and Mike.
Ray: Readagar....take that off your head
Readagar: What?
He takes off the hat and places it on the knocked out human.
*
The room was white, a table in the middle, a bunch of needles on the wall, solutions of all types placed on the tables, and scientific equipment, like telescopes, lying around. There is one foggy glass door on the left side.
Sean: Weird place....
Sully: I hope they didn't hurt Randall....
Sean: Why would you care?
Sully:!!!!
Joy: Where do we go?
Sean: Hmm....we all can't go so...hmmm...hello...
Sean looked at an open locker in front of him against the wall.
Sean: Readagar, you keep Sully and Mike here...
Sean: Ray....I know your is father, so, your coming with us...
Sean: And Read....
Readagar: Yeah...
Sean: If anyone comes here beside us...you know...
Readagar: Oh...
Readagar extended the claws on his top left hand.
Readagar: No prop....
*
Sean and Joy casually head out the door, making sure Ray, who was invisible, made it through the doorway. Sean and Joy were wearing whit clothes, almost looking like scientists. The hall was empty, but the wall's were blue and white, lights hanging on the ceiling, reflecting off the white tiles on the ground.
Joy: You think anyone would know who we are?
Sean: I don't think so.....Ray where are you?
Ray: I'm fine, I'm on the ceiling....
Sean: Ok...
*
After passing through some double doors, the two.....three were in hall's with other scientists, although not many..., occasionally....a solider would go by, armed with a firearm.
Joy (Whisper) I don't like it here...
Sean: (Whisper) Its ok....
Some people passed by them, some giving various hello's and all, avoiding conversation and the knowing of Rayford on the ceiling.
Sean: (Whisper) Maybe we should find a map or something...
Joy: (Whisper) What about that...Tracer thing of yours?
Sean: Oh yeah...
The two slipped into a corner not occupied as Sean pulled out Tracer.
Sean: Come on Tracer old buddy....
Sean: Aw great...
Joy looked at the screen seeing it glowing red.
Joy: What's the problem?
Sean: The signal's jammed...I can't pinpoint it...
Ray's voice: (Whisper) But is he here?
Sean: Yeah...and alive...
Sean placed Tracer back into his pocket.
Voice: Hey!
Joy and Sean turned, seeing a solider.
Solider: What are you doing here?
Both:!!!!
Solider: Were are you posted?
Sean: Umm...
Joy: Well...
Sean: We....are to work on that purple lizard they brought in....
Solider: Where's your Level 4 card?
Sean: Umm...
Rayford, invisible, notices that the solider had a Level 4 card hanging out of pouch.
Ray:!!!!
Ray slowly went over to the ceiling above the solider.
Sean: Well, you see...
Ray slowly reached for it with his left hand, using his feet to keep him attached to the ceiling.
Ray: (Careful Ray!)
(Swipe!)
He got it, attaching all his limbs onto the ceiling.
Ray: (Phew...)
He heads over to Sean, the floating keycard not being seen, and dropped it behind him.
(Click!)
All:!!!
Sean: Oh....I must have dropped it....
Sean picked it up.
Sean: ( Smooth Ray.....)
He then show's it.
Joy:...
Solider: Hmm....Follow me....
*
The solider had led them to a sealed metal door.
Sean: He must be in there...
Joy: There's no window...
Sean: Hmmm....this requires a key...not a card...
Joy: What do we do?
Sean: I...think....we need Sullivan's strength...
*
Meanwhile....in a dark room....
Joy: "What do we do?"
Sean: " I...think.....we need Sullivan's strength..."
The dark lizard was watching the video camera monitors...seeing Sean and Joy's every move.
Reptile: Hmm.....
Voice: Sir...
???? came up.
????: What?! Them!
Reptile: Calm down....
????: But sir shouldn't we...
Reptile: Pull out all solider and scientist related personnel from that sector...
The reptile hop's up from his chair.
????: But sir....!
Reptile: Do it!
????: Yes sir...
Reptile: I'm going to see Randall....
Reptile: When those others come to save him, send in our soldiers...
Reptile: Randall will find the key for us...
Reptile: I kind of admire that kid...
*
By now, the whole group was trailing the hall.
Readagar: This doesn't seem right...
Sully: Yeah...no ones around...
Sean: There probably beefing up security on....that machine of yours Ray....
Ray: Most likely....if its destroyed....it would take about another 10 years to make...
Sully: Why are me and Mike coming...
Sean: Sullivan, for once in my life I need you....to....help...
Sully:....( Pushy....what's with this guy?)
They soon came to the door.
Mike: Well....work your magic Sully...
Sully: Well...
Joy: ( Why does it look like its been open recently?)
*
Randall: Ehh....Ehhmm!
He opened his eyes to see himself floating in a vat of water.
Randall: ( No! The dream!)!!!!
Voice: (Laughing!)
Randall: !!!!
Voice: Remember me Randall?
The dark lizard came out of the shadows.
Randall:!!!
Reptile: You should have given me what I wanted!
Reptile: Too bad for you....
Reptile: I'll take care of your friends for you....good care...
Randall thought twice and didn't open his mouth.
Reptile: Pathetic! Even as a child!
Randall:....
Reptile: But I admire that...
Randall: (What?)
(CLASH)
Sean: Stop!
The group emerged from the broken door, stopping a distance away from the dark lizard.
Randall: (Guys! I knew they'd come!)
Sean: Let him go!
Reptile: Gladly....
Reptile: Good luck Randall.....in finding those key's or me...
Randall looked down at where the Life Support switch was in his dream, in its place was a switch named "Release".
Randall: (What?)
Reptile: Bye...
The reptile flipped the switch and suddenly, Randall found himself caught in the water draining downward into a hole.
(FFFFFFFLLLLUUUSSSSHHH)
Randall: AHH!
The tank unfilled and was completely empty.
All:!!!!
Ray: What did you do!
Reptile: Relax....he's back in Monstropolis about now Rayford...
Ray:!!!! How do you know my name! And why did you hurt my son!
Reptile: Will be explained....
Readagar extended all his claws.
Readagar: Wrong answer!
Sean: Yeah!
Reptile: Poor boy....(Whistle)
Voices: Freeze!
Suddenly they were surrounded by soldiers trailing guns on each of them.
Reptile: Seems like you won't be able to touch me....
Sean: You....
?????: Watch it boy....
Sean:!!! (Do I know him?)
Reptile: For now....you are guests like Ms. Naomi Boggs and Randolph Boggs
Joy:!!!!
*
Randall:..........
Randall:..........
Randall: Eh....oh....my head...
Randall moved his limbs, making sure they were ok. He felt his pounding head. Around him were sounds of clanking and clanging.
Randall: Where....am I....
He looked around seeing various doors around. He was somehow.....in the Door Vault.
Randall: Ehh...
Randall: Dad?....Sean?....Joy?....Anyone!!?
No one else was around.
Randall: Ehh...
He used the guard rails to help his unsteady body up.
Randall: That.....monster.....he....has them!
Randall: Oh...what....do....I do...?
He remembered something...
Randall:...(The keys....he wants them...)
Randall: Maybe he'll free everyone once he has them....
Randall: (Might....as well....get the first one....)
Randall limped as he walked to an exit of the door vault.
Randall: But I'm alone now...
Randall: (Like I was....in my plan....)
Randall:....I'll save them...
He found an exit.
*
He soon found himself in Scare Floor F, holding his bruised left arms,.....hoping to see the door there...But...when he got there....
Randall: (Gasp!)!!!
The door was gone, but in its place was several C.D.A agents.
Randall:!!!!
They each turned to him.
Randall:!!!!
C.D.A agent: There he is!
Randall:!!!!
Having being shocked, he slowly backed away.
(Bump!)
Suddenly, hands gripped Randall's four arms, making his bruised one's hurt with pain.
Randall: Argh!
Behind him were two C.D.A agents.
C.D.A agent: Mr. Boggs your under arrest!
Soon the crowd came to him.
Randall:!!!!!
C.D.A agent: Cuff him!
Randall found his hands cuffed behind his back again, and his tail was locked straight by another cuff object, making it so he couldn't pi ck the locks.
Randall: Ehh! Hey!
C.D.A agent: Mr. Boggs you are to be sent to Sloog Jail!
Randall Tried to move, but his hands and tail were locked.
Randall: What's the charge!
C.D.A agent: Under the charge of sending a monster to human scientists!
Randall: What!
C.D.A agent: We have video evidence! Recorded by Monsters Inc. Camera System!
Randall: But you can't just!
One then placed a gag on Randall, making him unable to speak and bite.
C.D.A agent: Direct orders by the B.O.D!
Randall: (WHAT! Those B.O.D are dead!)
C.D.A agent: Take him there now!
The other two lead Randall out, hovering him above the floor to avoid him from running away.
Randall: (NO!)
*
About a couple minutes later, without him having a court, or able to do anything, he was in Sloog Jail.
Randall:!!!
One of the C.D.A had Randall by all his hands, causing pain to them.
C.D.A: Issued order by the B.O.D!
A slug type monster picked up the card that was shown.
Slug: Hmm...Whoa kay...
The dragged Randall past different cells, then into a hall that was empty. The unlocked the cell and took the gag off Randall, and pushed him inside.
Randall: Wait!
(SLAM!)
The cell was closed and locked.
Randall:!!!!!
C.D.A: As some say.....you deserve this!
The C.D.A walked off.
Randall: No! Let me out of here!
He went as far into the bars as he could.
Randall: Don't you understand!
Randall: Monsters and humans are going to die!
Randall: Believe me! Tell the B.O.D! Tell them!
Randall: I'm the only one who can get them out!
C.D.A's voice: Keep him locked up, send him in for Banishment as well!
Randall: What!
Randall: Let me out!
Randall: I have to get my family and friends!
Randall: Your going to let them just die!
Randall: Let me out!!!
Randall: Let....me....
Randall:...Out....
Randall placed his back to the bar's and sat on the ground.
Randall: (Sniffle) No....no...
Randall: No....
Randall placed on one of the face's he had never used before....a sorrow, crying type face....tears ran down his cheeks....Knowing his friends were in danger, his only chance at being together with his family being torn away, and cuffed up like a criminal without a chance to fix it.....
Randall: No....I couldn't have been so careless!
Randall: (Everyone I know....is going to die)...
Randall: (All because of what I know)....
Randall: (Sniffle)...(Why)....
Randall: (Why am I always caught in everything....)
Randall: (Nothing had ever gone right for me....)
Randall: (Maybe this place would have been better without me.....)
Randall tilted his head to his right, feeling defeat and unable to do anything....all because of what he was thought of, and how his life went....
Randall:.......(I'm an accident....ain't I....)
*
I know, poor Randall....and poor us! You would think Randall will somehow get out of here, but think....we can't help him, and he can't help himself, so....how does he get out?
