This chapter is where many changes happen....some good....some bad......you'll see....

Chapter 17 A Deal

Randall stood there, unsure of what to think.

Reptile: Listen....I want those keys now!

Randall: I'll....give them to you if you free my family and friends!

Reptile:...Deal...

Reptile: To get back here, us the door in that...what do you call it...

Reptile: Oh yes.....Scare Floor...

Reptile: A door is set up for you there...
Reptile: Now.....just give me what I want...and you'll get what you want...

Reptile: (Chuckle) Good luck...

Reptiles line cut off.

Randall:!!!

He placed the phone back.

Fungus: What?

Randall flipped the key in the air and caught it with his bottom left hand.

Randall:...I'm saving my family....

Randall turned to Fungus.

Randall: Fungus.....you prepared to help me?

Fungus:...Sure Randall...

Randall: I mean...really help me...
Fungus:????

*

Randall was at the entrance to Scare Floor F. He asked Fungus to actually 2319 himself to be used a the C.D.A. distraction. Randall was concerned if he was hurt, but not much. After checking to see if he was alright, he went to the Floor. He made his way down the hall, to his station.

Randall:....

In the station was a red door, its handle made of pure diamond.

Randall:...(Must lead to his own room....)

Randall: Well....he better had kept his promise...

*

Meanwhile....The monster was watching in the video screen room, seeing Randall on one of the screens.

Reptile: Hmm....

????: Sir....what to we do with him?

Reptile: We have a deal...lets see how good he is...

Reptile: You placed the door outside the facility right?

????: Of course....and I released the dogs as well...

Reptile: What?!

The reptile turned to the human, gabbing his shirt with all of his four hands.

Reptile: You released the dogs!

????: I thought you wanted me to!

Reptile: Your useless! I said I want him alive!

He threw the human to the ground and exited the room

*

Randall had much thought in a plan, but went ahead and entered the door. When he closed it behind him...the door's power went off.....

*

Randall: What?!

Randall could see the door wasn't placed in a building at all. It was placed in an open field of grass and trees.

Randall: !!!!

He could see that it was night, and up ahead was a huge building. The building had many humans with guns, search lights, and gates.

Randall: !!!

He turned to see the door was placed into the ground. He grabbed the handle and turned the knob and pushed the door open.

Randall:!!!

It opened up revealing more of the field, the door was no longer connected to the Monster World.

Randall: He tricked me!

Randall: Eh...

Randall turned to the facility.

Randall: Hmph...he wants to make this hard for me......fine!

Randall needed to get inside himself, knowing this, he wasn't sure this was going to be easy.....

Randall: (Sigh)...Mom....Dad....here I come...

(Howl)

Randall:!!!!!!!

He slowly turned his head around.

(Howl)

Randall: AHHH!

Racing toward him were six pit bull dogs...

Randall: AHH!

Randall got on all eights and ran towards the building. He looked behind him to see the dogs teeth and eyes.

Randall: Ehh!

He focused to run faster as the dogs gained on him. Randall had ran from dogs before, he usually got caught more times than he escaped, but that's only because it was his first time. He did know what would happen if he was caught....

Randall: (Come on! Come on!)

Ahead, he could see the walls surrounding the building, he knew he was safe now....He turned his to the dogs.

Randall: Hey dogs! Want to chew on something!

He attached to the wall an ran up it, dropping down on the other side on all eights.

(Slam! Slam!)

Randall grinned.

Randall: (Chuckle) Sorry boys...but I don't fancy cement....

The dogs were gone.....but now he had to get in. He was in a dark area next to a warehouse, he could see a search light at the front of the warehouse, but its range couldn't reach him.

Randall: Ok.........

He figured options to get in. He moved to the back of the warehouse and looked over the corner.

Randall: Hmm...

In the distance was a heavily bunker that seemed to lead into the ground.

Randall:....

There were two search lights and four men passing it.

Randall: (Now....how do I get in...)

He looked around seeing nothing useable.

Randall: Nothing...Hmm...

He looked up seeing a ventilation system that lead into the warehouse he was at.

Randall: (Maybe they store something useful....)

Randall went up the warehouse wall and into the vent.

*

In the ware house's ceiling, one of the shafts broke open. Randall fell down but caught himself with his limbs. He got to his feet and looked around.

Randall: Whoa!

Scattered about the room were crates of gun's, machine gun turrets, rocket launchers, cages, many can's of chemicals, and needles. Randall was shocked, but could tell what they were to be used for....

Randall: (He's thinking of capturing monsters....)

Randall: That.....monster! How could he!...Ehh...

He walked around trying to find anything that would help.

Randall: Ah...

He went over to a crate and lifted its top off. Inside were grenades, but they were flash grenades.

Randall: Good...

He grabbed two and placed them in his bottom hands. He found a bag that he placed under his bottom left arm. He placed the flash grenades in it, and some smoke grenades he found in another crate.

Randall: Ok...its time...

He went out of the warehouse through the vent.

*

Randall:....

He was waiting at the corner, wondering how to plan it out...

Randall: (Hey...wait...I can...stupid....stupid...)

Randall places the back behind his back, and turned invisible. If you looked at the front of him, you wouldn't see the back his bottom hands were holding behind his back. He knew the....armory would

Randall: (Ok....I hope it lasts....)

He slowly moved in a curve motion to the bunker, seeing the marching men closer and closer, and the search lights bearing down on the ground.

Randall: (Careful....)

Randall was concerned about three things at one time. Keeping himself invisible, not dropping the back, and loosing the key in his top right hand, which he had used to grip the key so it wouldn't leave him. He made his way to the de-elevated area that led to the bunkers door.

Randall: Uh oh...

He suddenly felt something moving in the bag. He caught sight to see one of the grenades falling out of the bag....

Randall:!!!!

One of the flash grenades fell out.

Randall: (No, no, no!)

It fell to the ground and rolled over to the four men.

Randall:!!!!

The grenade stopped at one of them, making all four stop and look at it....

Solider: What is this doing here?

Solider2:Those warehouses are sealed!...

Randall took this time to run into the bunker, but one of the guards noticed the floating bag heading in....

Solider3: Did you see that!?

Solider4: Seems our spectator friend is here....

Soilder1: Does the boss want us to capture him...

Soilder4: No...

All:???

*

Inside the halls were white and had number markings on them. It seemed like the place was a combination of a huge lab and military facility....

Randall: Ok...

He stopped any movement he made.....hearing no foot steps....

Randall: (Everyone's probably guarding that base...)

He slowly transcended the hall's looking for anything that might lead to his family or that reptile...

Randall:........

He had gotten to another hall that had many steel doors, as Randall tried, he couldn't open them.

Randall: (Whisper) Mom.....Randolph?....Sean?...Joy?....Dad?

Nothing.

Randall: (He must have them with him....waiting for me...)

Randall continued, trying to find a map or something.....He came upon some offices but noted that none had a map. He tried a couple, but none suited his purpose. As he finished closing the door to an office, he could hear voices coming to the hall.

Randall:....

He didn't panic, knowing he was still invisible.

Randall: ( They just try....huh?!)

He looked down at his body, seeing that it was returning to its normal state.

Randall:!!!!

He ran into the office.

*

Randall hid behind the desk in the office. When he got under there, he tired to turn invisible. It didn't work. It was if this place somehow made it so you can only turn invisible once...

Randall: Great...

Voice: Wait I just need to get something in my office...

Randall: Ehh...

*

(ERRKK)

The door opened and a human stepped in. He went over to the desk and picked up a file. he turned to the door and reached for the knob. But then....he stopped, tuning back to the desk...

Human:???

He went over to it...

Human: Hmm...

He bent down and looked behind it.

Human: Huh?

Nothing was there....

Human:???

He stood up straight and scratched his head.

Human: I could have sworn...

Behind the human, on one of the ceilings panels...Randall's tail could be seen heading into the ceiling...

Human: Oh well...

*

Randall looked through a crack in the ceiling panels to see the human leave.

Randall: (Chuckle)

He straightened his tail back to its original position and continued through a series of white ceiling tiles and small pipes.....

*

Meanwhile in the living room which the reptile and Ray were in, everyone was accounted for. The reptile was near the fire, a pocket watch in his top left hand, looking at it. Ray, Rayford, and Sully were cuffed together, making them unable to move. Sean was cuffed and held by a guard. Joy and Mike were also held the same way. Other men with gun's were around....

Reptile:.....He's late....

Reptile: But I would say that if he survived the dogs...

Reptile: I suppose its fine....

Ray: Dogs!

Reptile: Yes....my own personal pack....

Ray:!!!!

Readagar: You wont get away with this! Randall will come and show you a thing or two!

Sully:...

Joy: Yeah! You think your so tough!

Reptile turned to Joy.

Reptile: I don't think it dear lady....I am...

Joy:!!!!

Sean smiled at that turning to the reptile.

Sean: They say that those who don't resort to violence are the toughest of the people....

Reptile: Who would say that!?

Sean: Me...

Reptile:!!!!

*

Randall had made his way past several rooms, then climbed down a series of pipes to a lower level.....soon...he came to what he was looking for. He was on the ceiling panels of the room where everyone was....

Randall: (Bingo!.....He wants an entrance...I'll give him one...)

Randall pulled out the smoke grenades from the bag.

*

Readagar: What are you trying to accomplish!

Reptile: Oh....I can't tell it now...were missing guests...

Readagar:!!! Eh...don't even think you'll hurt Randall's mom and brother as well!

Sean:....(Hello....Good thinking Ran...)

From a crack in the ceiling, the gas was coming in....

Human: Uh boss...

Reptile: What is it you buffoon?

Human: Is that normal sir?

Reptile: What isn't no...(Coughing)

Soon a full smoke grenade was dropped to the ground, sending up more gas.

Everyone: (Coughing)

Randall's figure can be seen dropping from the ceiling as gas filled the room....

*

After sometime the door to the room opened....Inside, everyone was untied and the reptile and his guards were still coughing.

Sully: Randall your alive!

Mike: Thanks Lizard boy!

Randall: Yeah whatever!

Randall turned to the door's exit, but he was soon caught with a face of which he feared......He stopped dead black....knowing who this was....

????: Hello monster....

Randall stepped back, seeing the guards from inside the room get up and trail there guns on the nearest monster.

Randall: No, no, no!

????: Yes its me...

The gas cleared and Joy and Sean took a look at what Randall was helpless to look at.

Sean: Now I know who you are!

Joy: Who!?

Randall: H...H...Hands!
Hands: That's right!

Hands slugged Randall in the right cheek, causing the monster to fall to the floor.

Joy: No! It can't be!

Hands: Well...if it ain't the kicker...

Joy:!!! I'd kick you to the moon right now!

Hands: (Chuckle) She has a fighting spirit a Randall?

Hands was about to kick him in the stomach when...

Reptile: Stop Hands...

Hands:.....

Reptile: We'll deal with your......whatever it is...later..

The reptile lifted Randall to his feet, who was still shocked at the hunter's face.

Reptile: Lets make this a proper exchange Randall...I'm a man of my word...

Reptile: Dazzling entrance I might add...

Randall:?!?!?

Hands: Why don't I just take the key!?

Reptile: No...I think I'll...show him...Oblivion...

Randall:...

All:???

*

Soon, everyone was following the reptile. Randall was beside him, as the guards force him to walk beside him. The others could only move along.

Randall: What about my mom and brother!?

Reptile: Oh....there waiting for you there...

Randall: You better not be lying to me!

Randall: Because if you are...!

Reptile: Randall please....lets take this out like civilized....lifeforms....

Randall:???

Randall kept quiet, mad that his plan had failed by the shock of the hunter that had tried to sell him off as a circus freak....or rather kill him. Soon they al stopped at a door labeled "Project OBLIV."

The reptile punched in a code, and the door opened...

All:!!!!

The room was a large dome that seemed to have many floors. In the middle was a large sheet cover something. The room's wall's were full of scream canisters from Monsters Inc., each one of them filled with scream power. Below were many power generators and cooling systems. Whatever Oblivion was, it required allot of power, and seemed to be cooled down after it had done its job....Around were many computers, boards, circuits, wires, pipes, anything mechanical was around. The room itself was vast and silver colored...

Reptile: This is where your machine Rayford...rests...

The guard holding Rayford came up, then everyone else came in. Although, Rayford wasn't tied up.

Ray:....Son...you alright?

Randall: Yes dad.....Where's brother and mom?!

Reptile: Of course...

The reptile was given a walkie-talkie by one of the guards.

Reptile: Bring them in.....

The reptile lowered the talkies antenna and looked over by another door close to the one they came in. Soon two guards came out. Each on e was holding Naomi and Randolph.

Ray: Son! Naomi!

Randall: Mom! Brother!

Randall went over to the two, as did Rayford.

Human: Sir I...
Reptile: Let them...

The two guards holding Naomi and Randolph let go, backing off to guard the door. The two ran to the other two. When they met, the hugged each other.

Naomi: Finally....(Crying) I have my boy's back....

Ray: Together again...

Randolph: Yes...again...

Randall: A family....what I always wanted...

The each hugged individually. Sean looked over, smirking with a smile, but it also showed some kind of irony type of smirk. Joy noticed this, unsure of his intention to do that.

Ray: Yes....and this time....

Naomi: Its all of us...

Randolph hugged Randall.

Randolph: Brother....lets start again...like I said...

Randall: We will...

A tear ran down his face as he hugged Randolph back. Soon the black reptile's calm face turned to an anger type one.

Reptile: Ahem!

Randall turned to him

Reptile: Our deal Randall...

Randall could hear the guards cock there guns.

Reptile: Remember...

Randall:...

Randall opened the palm of his hand, revealing the key....he also kept his bottom left hand clenched ever since he started walking through the hall with the monster.

Randall:...

He hid a smirk that was about to come on his face, knowing that he had only one key and was now giving that one key to him.

Randall: Alright...release my friends first!

Reptile: As will...

He snaps his top right fingers and the guards release everyone, who then ran over to Randall and his family.

Sean: Thanks Ran..

Randall: Yeah...

Joy: You ok?

Randall: Yeah....a little worn out is all....you?

Sully: Were all fine...

Sean: Like he asked you?

Sully:?????

Reptile: Oh this is getting mushy....the keys Randall!

Ray: Son! Don't give it to him! You don't know what he can do with it!

Randall: Its a fair trade dad...

Randall: I'm a fair player in these things...

Ray:???

Randolph smirked, finally knowing what his brother was so sneaky about.

Naomi: Son....

Randall turned to his mother.

Naomi: Be careful...

Randall nodded and slowly went over to the reptile. Now they were fairly close to each other...

Reptile: That's a good boy...

Randall: Quite you!......Who are you anyhow?!

Reptile: (Chuckle) Of course.....

Reptile: We've been in so much lately we haven't been fully introduced...

Luther: The name is Luther...

Randall: Luther....

Randall: Why are you doing all this anyhow?!

Randall: Hurting my family!

Luther: Faintly because...its for revenge...

Luther: I'm sure you understand that...

Randall turned his head to Sully, but then back.

Randall: Revenge for what?

Luther: Honestly, I'll tell you once you give me those keys!

Randall:....I give you the key....and we leave..

Luther: Of course....

Luther: I live by my word...

Luther: I have nothing against you....so you can trust me...

Randall: Yeah? What about those dogs?!

Luther cockeyed Hands who was near him, starring at Randall...

Luther: A little mistake..

Randall saw who he cockeyed.

Randall: What about Hands..

Randall: I know you have him because of what he has against me...

Luther: Oh him...

Luther: He knew much about tracking you....

Luther: So...he's under me now...

Randall starred at Hands, each of them having the same eye's.

Luther: Now....we stop this talking for now....Randall...

Randall:......

Randall reveals the key.

Randall: Honestly Luther.....you really never hurt me..

Luther: Well...lets just say I....know what you've been through...

Randall:.....

Luther slowly takes the key, taking it out of Randall's hand.

WHAT! Hands is back! Yes, the hunter who me and Joy saved Randall from way back when! He's back and is capable of anything! And Randall giving the key to Luther! On a more lightning note, Randall has his family back! But...what will happen???.....................
