A/N: Chaser of Shadows left off and Sulley will be leading him to the human resistance to find Mike. But what Mike doesn't know is that he has a soul implanted in him.
Sulley: Will he still recognize me though?
That doesn't come until the chapter after this one. Anyways, enjoy!
Morning came and the Seeker was knocking on the door of the bedroom.
"Chaser of Shadows? The extraction is ready to begin" said the Seeker in a polite tone, but there was no answer. The Seeker then kept kicking the door with his foot and it wouldn't budge. He kicked it again and this time a snapping noise was made, he came in to see an electrical cord hanging from the coat hanger and that Chaser of Shadows wasn't in his room.
"I should have known. That 'Sulley' persuaded him to go find Mike" The Seeker muttered. He took a phone out and pressed a button.
"Yes?" the voice from the other end asked.
"Organize a search party. Chaser of Shadows has gone rogue and he's on the run somewhere" said the Seeker.
"Yes sir. When should they leave?" the other voice asked.
"Right away if possible" he told.
"Yes sir" and then he hung up.
Meanwhile, in the middle of the desert. Chaser of Shadows was driving through it.
"Wait a minute" said Chaser of Shadows as he slowed down on the road a little bit.
What do you mean 'Wait a minute'? Why are you slowing down?
"I know what you're really doing. You're really going over to the human resistance and bring them to us in a vicious attack" he said as he turned the car around to the other end of the road doing a U-turn.
"The Seeker was right about your kind. You only care about yourselves and your race. I give you my trust and support to find your friend and this is how you thank me? I disagree with that by one hundred percent" said Chaser of Shadows said in a tone that was saddened.
What's gotten into your head? I wanna find Mike and that's it!
"Don't lie to me!" Sulley then used his inner strength to try and get back on the road they were originally driving on, but it made the car tip over and land in the sand.
"OW" said Chaser of Shadows. He got out of the truck's wreckage and took out with him a bottle of water that was in the cup holder.
"Now what? The only form of transportation we have is destroyed" he asked.
Walk through the desert. Save the water for whenever you really need it. Walk on the rocks to cover your footprints.
Chaser of Shadows did as Sulley instructed and did so. Every rock he stepped on hurt his feet a little bit but he was able to manage it. After a little bit longer of walking and there were no more rocks left, Chaser of Shadows looked behind him.
We're far enough from the truck wreckage, you can walk on the sand now
Chaser of Shadows felt relieved as he began to walk on the soft sand.
Meanwhile, the Seeker was driving in his silver sports car until he spotted the wreckage of a truck. He parked his car near the wreck and looked at it.
"This has Chaser of Shadows' actions written all over it" he muttered.
Back with Chaser of Shadows, he kept walking and walking and his water bottle was near to empty. His fur was shedding a bit, sweat fell from his armpits and forehead, and he had some burnt skin underneath his fur that left some flakes on the sand whenever he scratched it.
Save the water, you'll need it for later.
"I need it now" Chaser of Shadows said with his tongue dangling out of his mouth and drooling. He took the last sip of water and threw the bottle away in the sand. He then wiped some sweat away from his forehead and continued to pant with exhaustion.
I know, you're exhausted. But we need to keep moving on.
"I'm so tired. Please let me sleep" said Chaser of Shadows. He spotted a dead tree and decided to lay down next to the trunk of the tree.
Alright, but just for a little while okay? We can't waste any time
And then Chaser of Shadows closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep. And so did Sulley who decided to take a little cat nap while Chaser of Shadows was doing so.
A day passed and Chaser of Shadows wouldn't wake up from his sleep. He was about to die of dehydration. But he felt something wet touching his lips. He opened his eyes halfway to see it was a flask full of water. He then looked up to see a face that only Sulley recognized.
Melanie Stryder? I used to scare her until she turned seven. She showed she wasn't scared of me by whacking me in the nuts with a wiffle ball bat
He took the flask out of Melanie's hand and began to drink.
"You found us" Chaser of Shadows said in a barely audible tone to the human girl.
"Us?" Melanie asked. She lifted his head up to reveal those glowing rings of silver around the pupils of his eyes. Melanie then thought to herself for a little bit.
'This is really the guy Mike is looking for? The same one Mary met when she was two? It's gotta be. Nevertheless he has a soul inside of him, but like Wanda, he can be rehabilitated'
She then looked behind her to see Ian's brother Kyle carrying a machete.
"Melanie, get away from that thing!" he shouted, getting his weapon ready to cut off Sulley's head. Melanie stood up and stopped Kyle by kicking the blade out of his hand with her boot.
"OW! What the heck was that for?" Kyle asked.
"This is the one Mike has been looking for" she told Kyle in the most strictest tone possible.
"Not anymore he isn't. He's one of them now" Kyle explained as he pointed to Chaser of Shadows inheriting Sulley's body and drinking from Melanie's water flask.
"He can be rehabilitated like Wanda was when she was inside my body. Give him a chance" Melanie said, trying to persuade Kyle.
"Fine. Blindfold him though so he doesn't get any ideas" Kyle said. Melanie only nodded and took out a bandana from her back pocket. She wrapped it around Chaser of Shadows' eyes and lifted him off the ground by his arm gently.
"I'm sorry about this, but it's the only way we don't give away the position of our resistance to any outsider" Melanie explained.
Just cooperate with her. She said she knew where Mike was. Do what she says
"I'll cooperate. As long as I get to see Mike again" Chaser of Shadows said as if he were speaking in Sulley's position. Melanie smiled, she knew that this soul and Sulley were sharing thoughts and feelings like she and Wanda were back when she took control of her body.
"Alright, let's move out. We're not too far from our base" Kyle said in a tone that sounded like he was in command now when she was put in charge by Mike to find Sulley. She rolled her eyes and held Chaser of Shadows' hand and lead him towards the base of the human resistance.
A/N: Now Chaser of Shadows has ran into Melanie and she's leading him to Mike and the human resistance. And she saved him from dying of thirst. More to come tomorrow.
Sulley: Thanks for saving me from dehydration I guess.
Yeah, a pretty girl saved your butt from dying, don't forget that. Please review, thanks!
