We Are Monsters Incorporated!
?
Sora and his team continued to walk forward. It was the dead of night; everything was quiet as can be, the only sound being from their footsteps. In front of them was a building being backed by a massive factory around and behind it. The main building was large, white, had grooves indented into its front and sides, windows at the top, and was in the shape of irregular 4-sided quadrangle. Because it was dark out, the building was being front-lit by a soft gold light; illuminating a white badge with a blue 'M' on the front. Strangely, the 'M' had an open eye at the center of it. Underneath the big building was the entrance to the lobby(*). It was brown, smaller, had a circular window dome on top, and had a set of three light-blue double doors leading inside. At the front of this building was the same badge with the blue 'M', and words that looked to be in the middle of re-construction. At Team Sora's right was a small garden with autumn-orange shrubbery and at their left was another small garden with not shrubbery; but tall palm trees, and underneath Team Sora was a smooth grey sandstone pavement being lit by several streetlamps leading up to the factory.
Sora stopped for one moment to glace in the direction of his friends and move his right arm up and over in a 'C'mon' motion before continuing onward a few paces.
"Sora? What happened to you?!" Momo's voice was shrill, catching everyone's attention.
"What do you mean Momo-" his question was cut short by the sight of...monsters?!
"Wahh!"
The all cried out and jumped back away from each other; drawing out their weapons. "Wha...?" Sora's voice trembled with fright as he came to a realization "D-Donald...Goofy...Momo...?" It was definitely them but-
"Why do you guys look like monsters?!"
It was true...
Goofy had taken on a monstrous form with aqua-green skin. His forearms and calves had become enlarged and spotted with irregular shapes of a slightly darker color, with grey claws on his fingers and toes. His eyes had raised off his head and became different colors from each other; right eye blue and left eye red. His nose had become pointed along with his buck teeth, and he no longer had ears, now he had two small protrusions going out from the back of his head, which faded from aqua to purple. His lower body clothes had disappeared and he was now wearing only an open black zip-up vest with white lining and four dull grey pouches. Goofy still had his hat, but it had become ever so slightly tinted green.
"You do too!" pointed out Donald. The duck was now featherless and had taken on a sort of Cyclops form with blue skin. He had a single round blue eye that was in the center of his face under two small protrusions that were similar to Goofy's. His duck bill featured small fangs and he had two small horns on the sides of his head. His legs were the same color and texture as the rest of his body; blue, and his hands and feet had gray claws extending from the fingers and toes respectively. His tail feathers had left and in their place was a small lavender spike, which matched the inner wings of his new small purple bat-like wings on his back. His clothes were the same in this form, except his shirt no longer had sleeves.
"Wait...You guys?" Momo froze "Do you mean...?" she slowly looked down at herself with wide eyes and shrunken irises, trembling at the implications. Momo had indeed turned into a monster like the rest. Her hair was still pink, but it had become more leaf-like in look and she had two skinny very dark-red almost black horns; matching her tail color, coming out and going back, acting as her ears. Her eyes were the same color as before but were now googly like the rest of her team, and had three small eyelashes sticking out of her top eyelids. Her jawline and chin were covered with very dark-red; almost black, scales that matched her horns and tail. Her nose was absent and her mouth was filled with fangs. She had black claws and the center-back of her hand had the same scales that were on her face. Those scales trailed up under her sleeve, going behind her elbow, and stopped near her shoulders. Her body was slightly pink now and made of the same texture as Donald and Goofy's new forms. She had her usual clothes on, but her stockings and shoes have disappeared and her lower legs had dark scales at the sides that trailed down and ended halfway across the top of her feet. Speaking of, her feet had become more imp-like in shape with sharp black nails at the end, much like her hands.
"W-What is this?!" she asked with concern for her form. She's been through odd events happening to her before, but she was not expecting to be transformed all of a sudden.
"Oh! That's right! I kinda forgot about this part!"
The Monster-Deviluke looked at Sora "What part?"
Sora rubbed the back of his neck after de-summoning his Keyblade "People are not supposed to know about the Outside Worlds, right? Well, sometimes when you go into another World, your looks can change; to blend in with the type of people who live there."
"That's right!" Donald spoke up while walking up next to Goofy "You know what the magic is for; to protect the World Order!"
Goofy thought out loud while studying Momo "Hmm...I guess Master Yen Sid took care of that for ya too, Ms. Momo."
"So we'll turn back to normal once we get done with our business here and leave?"
"Uh-huh!" confirmed Donald with a nod.
Momo sighed, feeling quite relieved 'Thank goodness...I wouldn't want Rito-san to have to see me like this...' she thought as she looked over her monstrous form.
Sora looked at his hands, which were now furry and had sharp black claws. "But...seriously? This is how we blend in here?" He looked over himself, taking in his strange new appearance. He now had a bestial form entirely covered in very pale/grey fur. His hair had become leaf-like; similar to Momo's, going down and obscuring one eye. His ears were pointed and large, his nose had disappeared, his legs had become beast-like in structure with several black stripes going around them, and had two large feet ending with three black nails. He also had a small short tail with a white-grey bone-sail trailing down it. Although his gloves, neck chain, and jacket were unchanged, the rest of his clothes had disappeared.
"Well, ya three sure scared me." Goofy commented as he walked up to Sora along with Donald and Momo.
Sora picked at his cheek with his new claw and let out an uncomfortable chuckle "Could you guys take a few steps back? You're givin' me the heebie-jeebies."
"You take a step back!" Donald's loud retort accompanying his new look made Sora flinch back in fright.
"A-hyuck! Come on, I think our new look could turn out to be lot's of fun!" Goofy remained ever the optimist as Sora shrugged before turning back around to face the structure.
"Wonder what kind of weirdos live here?" he strolled closer to the building.
Meanwhile, Goofy leaned in and whispered to his other two friends. "Who'd thunk he'd be so creeped out?"
"Oh brother..." the two laughed to themselves after Donald's sarcastic remark. Momo tried to be more respectful, but wasn't doing a good job at stifling her giggles.
Sora focused on the words above the doors leading inside. "Hmm...It says, 'We Scare Because We Care'?" he read the words on the building out-loud.
"That's odd..." Donald came closer behind Sora along with the rest.
"Doesn't sound very caring." commented Goofy with a ting of curiosity.
"If they look like us...they could be trouble." the Keyblade wielder was starting to grow wary 'Why would the Keyblade lead us here?'
"Well, we should investigate." Momo went on ahead of the boys to the doors.
Sora reached out his hand after her "Ah! Momo wait! You shouldn't go on ahead of us!"
Monstropolis - Monsters Inc. Lobby & Offices
The two large doors opened and Momo stepped through with the others behind her. The Lobby was a large blue circular room; matching the shape of the window dome on top. Under the window dome going down the circular room were two vector maps with continents being highlighted in a variety of colors, and underneath those; on a rim above some grey shutters, were analogue clocks depicting different times. The grey shutters were being lit by soft lights and the floor beneath Team Sora was a marble light blue. At the center of the floor was the same 'M' with an open eye as on the building. At the far end of this room was a counter with the same badge as the building and at that counter were two horned monsters facing away from the group; one big light-blue shaggy-furred one with a tail and somewhat faded purple spots on his fur, and one smaller rounder lime-green one with very skinny arms and legs.
And in the clutches of the big one was...a small human girl?!
"Ooooo~" The big one made the noise before letting out a laugh.
"Oh no!" Shouted Sora, concerned for the girl's safety and assuming the worst. His cry got the attention of the two monsters, for they turned to face the source of the noise. The big one was beast-like in body structure, had blue eyes and three-digited feet with black claws; matching his four-digited hands, and a stubby blue nose.
"Hmm?" the blue one seemed confused yet calm. "I wonder who those guys are?"
The lime-green one however, was anything but calm "What?! Careful, Sulley!" he frantically started to warn the other "If they see the K-I-D..." he trailed off with worry. This monster had only one large green eye, a large mouth going across most of his spherical body, and three-digited feet with white claws; matching his four-digited hands.
'Sulley' remained relaxed as he looked down to his partner "It's fine. We got nothing to hide." he assured.
"But you're the CEO! You set the example!"
The big guy simply shrugged before putting the small toddler down on the floor while the smaller monster attempted to clear the air "Guys! Guys, it's not what it looks like!" he ran up to Sora and his team as they walked in "Okay, listen. That kid over there just popped up outta nowhere!"
Sora and Donald glared disapprovingly as he continued to ramble in front of them "We gotta call the CDA. Uh...it's uh..." the smaller monster paused; closing his eye and bringing his skinny hand below his mouth to think "Oh yeah, a Code 835!" he opened his eye again...only to meet the sight of Sora's Kingdom Key pointing right at him; making him quickly shout and jump back.
"Are you trying to scare that little girl?" Sora questioned the one-eyed fiend in a hard accusing manner.
"Yes!...I mean, nonono!" the lime-green monster waved his hands in the air before he re-adjusted himself "We're done with scare power. Nobody's gettin' scared!"
A easy-going chuckle was heard from Sulley as he walked up next to his round partner "Mike, take it easy."
"You should too, Sora." Goofy advised "Ya see? She's happy!" his observation was spot on, as the little girl was happily giggling while Sulley gave her a pat on the head. The small toddler must have been at most a three-year old with brown eyes as well as dark brown hair styled in two small pigtails with pink hair ties. She wore a pink nightshirt, purple capris shorts, and; oddly enough, not shoes but white socks.
"Oh...heh." Sora de-summoned his Keyblade before walking forward. Momo watched as Sora crouched down to level with the small girl. "Hello." he began to introduce himself with kindness "My name is Sora." he pointed to himself.
"Boo!" the child called out as she scurried closer to him.
"Oh, is that your name?" Sora guessed "Nice to meet you Boo." he raised his hand up in greeting, causing Boo to laugh and clap in joy.
Momo couldn't help but smile at the interaction 'How cute.' she brought a hand to her cheek as her tail started to sway in delight.
"Hold on..." Mike's eye widened "You guys really aren't afraid of humans?" Before he could ask any further questions-
"Mike Wazowski!" Boo suddenly pointed at Donald.
"Wak?" he quacked.
"C'mon, Boo! I'm Mike Wazowski!" Mike tried correcting her, but Boo didn't seem to get with the program.
"Mike Wazowski!" she bounced in place and continued to point excitingly at the transformed Donald, causing Mike to sigh.
Sulley let out a laugh "Well, you can see the resemblance; that googly bear eye." he pointed out the similarity.
"What's going on? I'm Donald Duck!" shouted an annoyed Donald before Boo repeated "Mike Wazowski!" and started playing by chasing him around.
"I'm not so sure if he applies as a duck at the moment." Momo quietly stated to herself while Goofy walked forward to introduce himself.
"A-hyuck! I'm Goofy!"
"Well, my name's Sulley." he then brought an arm behind Mike "And this is-"
"Oh, we know." interrupted Sora, humor laced in his voice "Mike Wazowski, right?"
Momo stepped forward behind Sora "And I'm Momo, nice to meet you two." she introduced herself with a bow. Momo brought herself back up when suddenly-
"Huaah!"
She shouted as she felt an unexpected pressure on her!
"Uh! Momo?" Sora was perplexed as to what was happening to the girl, and so was everyone else besides Donald; who was facing away looking for Boo who had mysteriously vanished playing hide and seek.
The feeling was on a particular part that's sensitive to the Devilukean Sisters, as The Third Princess of Deviluke forcefully shut her eyes as she let out quiet but high-pitched moans, struggling to stand and get words out "M-My...M-My!-"
The transformed duck turned, finally registering Momo's voice "Oh!" he had been looking for the toddler that had disappeared, only to find her grabbing and playing with Momo's tail.
"M-My...T-Tail!" she cried out, getting the words into the open.
"Boo!" the small girl announced her presence with a giggle as she looked up to her with a bright smile, completely and happily unaware as to why Momo knees continued to buckle.
"Oh! My goodness!" Sulley went and scooped Boo off and away from the Monster Deviluke's tail. "I'm so sorry about that!" he apologized as Boo lay in his left arm.
"No...*Pant*...It's quite alright...*Pant*...Children will be Children..." she spoke between breathes while facing the ground. Eventually, she brought her head back up to Boo.
"Hehe...Hello!" she cheerfully greeted, despite the drops of sweat and the obvious redness on her face. Boo's expression suddenly took on one of fright. She climbed behind Sulley, hiding behind his back and appeared ready to burst into tears.
"Eh?" Momo looked a little hurt "What's wrong? I'm not mad..."
"WAK!" Donald made the noise as he pointed behind her, for blue creatures of darkness had appeared!
"Heartless!" Donald and Goofy shouted, getting ready to fight with their weapons as more small monsters quickly came up from a burst of dark-bluish portals; with a rather large one bursting in from the same type of darkness. Now, Donald and Goofy may have called them Heartless, but upon Sora's closer inspection...
"No...!" he focused on the emblem that lay on the big one...
These were not Heartless at all!
The smaller ones were sleek, humanoid dark blue creatures roughly the size of Shadow Heartless, and their body movements were set in a sudden jerking, twitchy motion. Their arms and legs were smooth and ended in points. They had triangular heads with two long, jagged, lightning bolt-shaped antennae on top, and red eyes that looked set in a sharp irritated expression.
The bigger one may have resembled a dark blue Toad in body structure, but this thing was definitely not a Toad. Its underside had a pink pattern and it had four suction-cup like legs extending out and going down on the floor; the cups being a darker blue from its body. It had a dark blue-purple shell on its back that was accompanied by black spikes with red tips. Its eyes were going up and out of it's body; resembling antennae ending in a circle shape, and had red curved horizontal openings; like silts. The monster's face had a gaping mouth with sharp points that resembled a beak, a dark purple tongue sticking out, and constantly waving black and blue stripped whiskers were coming out at the sides and ended with them becoming pink and splitting up to form a three pronged trident-like shape.
Also, right on the big one's face...was not the Heartless Emblem. This emblem was black with a white outline and used sharp corners, deep curves, and straight edges. The top had four sharp points coming out while the bottom had two endings resembling a two-sided pick-axe. At the center of this emblem...was the shape of a heart.
"That's not the Heartless's Emblem!" Sora pointed out as he summoned Kingdom Key and ran up to do battle.
"Then what?"
"And how come they look so familiar?" Goofy knows he's at least heard of them from someone before...
Sora put up a battle face "Well, they're not friendly!" and he got into his battle stance.
Out of the corner of her eye, Momo noticed Mike and Sulley taking Boo to the counter in the room. Sulley put Boo down behind the counter on the chair, hiding her from the danger.
"Stay here. Kitty will be back." Sulley gently told the toddler; making a "stay" motion with his hands. Boo nodded; understanding him, before ducking down in the chair.
"I'm glad to see she's aware of the situation." a female voice spoke from behind the two monsters. They both looked over to find Momo walking up to them "I can watch over her for you if you like."
"Really?" Sulley wasn't sure if this was a good idea. "But what if she goes for your tail again?"
"Oh, don't worry about that." She brought a finger up to the side of her face "Now you boys go do your thing!" she sent a bright smile and wink.
Sulley still looked a bit uncertain before Mike put a hand on his arm.
"She right, Sulley. This has got bad news written all over it. Let her keep Boo safe."
The big guy paused before he nodded "OK" and he turned to Momo "Thanks."
One word of gratitude later, he; along with Mike, went to fight alongside Sora and his team. Meanwhile, Momo crouched down next to Boo, putting up her finger in a "Shhhh" motion before she opened up her D-Dial.
"Just because we're on the sidelines doesn't mean we can't help either." she turned her attention to the girl "Right, Boo?"
(*) - I'm not sure what you would call this.
Yup, we're doing Monster's Inc first in this story! And that means an early introduction of the Unversed and a certain other Seeker of Darkness.
For Momo's Monster design, I was going for an Au Ra Monster-Deviluke style. (The Au Ra are the dragon-like race from Final Fantasy 14).
(5/31/20 Update - Corrected what could be taken as an inconsistency of sorts, my apologies.)
