I am sooo sorry for not updating for months. I guess I got kinda bored of fanfics for a time, but TheOnePistol gave me the push I needed to start writing again, so thanks!
"That's it. That's the door I want," Randall said. He was smiled evilly at the door. It was obviously a banishment door that never made it to the new factory. The door looked as if it was made of scraps of metal.
With the help of Fungus, the door was put into the slot.
"Why do you want that door?" Celia asked, her tentacles folded across her chest.
"Behind this door are the most dangerous monsters in Monstropolos. Word on the street is no one could catch them, but the original Mr. Waternoose managed to catch them, and banish them." Randall said, putting a hand against the door. His scales turned a light blue because of the cold that radiated from the door.
"Then why didn't they shred it?" Celia asked.
"The shredder doesn't like to break down metal." Randall tapped on the door. It was defiantly made of metal. "And Waternoose wanted it just in case he needed it. The door was passed down, but it was kept here so no one would know about it."
"How do you know about it?" Fungus inquired.
"He told me all about it when we agreed to work together." Randall said.
"But...he's dead. Long dead." Fungus began counting all the decades he's been dead for.
"No you idiot!" Randall exclaimed. "The current Waternoose told me about it! Why am I always paired with such idiots?"
"You know what? I'm finished. I'm through with this." Celia threw her arms in the air. "I can't believe I even tried working with you. I'm tired of all of the insults and how you treat me. I'm leaving!"
Celia stormed off in the direction of the doors. Fungus stared at her in awe, wondering if Randall would react and if he should leave with her, leaving Randall all alone.
"Okay. Go." Randall said when Celia made it to the doors. He said it so calmly, Celia had to look back at him to see if he was being sincere.
"You're just letting me leave?" Celia asked. She wondered why he wasn't putting up a fight.
"Yeah. Go. It's just that...you know that little green boyfriend of yours? You might not be seeing him very much." Randall said, knowing he had her once again.
Celia felt anger rise up inside her. He had to use the the most cliché threat in the book. She stood at the door for a while, contemplating whether Randall was merely bluffing, or if he was telling the truth. She knew Randall would get rid of Mike if he wanted to. She sighed heavily, then turned away from the door, hear head down and her snakes looking saddened with defeat.
Randall went back to the door. He was trembling with excitement. He had no idea how many monsters were behind the door, or what they were even capable of. The most recent Waternoose told him they were capable of destruction beyond his wildest dreams, but the monsters would be a slave to him for taking them out of wherever they were banished to.
He went to open the door. The hinges creaked as the door slowly opened. A puff of mist streamed from the door, and as the mist vanished, he could see inside of the door for the first time. It was completely dark inside. He waited a few moments for the evil creature to come out, but nothing happened.
Randall banged his fist inside of the door a few times. "Hey! Your door just got opened. Wanna come out? You can repay me by becoming my evil henchmen."
Nothing happened.
"Flashlight!" Randall turned to Fungus and Celia. "Get me a flashlight! Now!"
Fungus scampered off to find a flashlight, but Celia didn't move. She felt more relaxed to know nothing was inside of the door. Everyone would be safe, and Randall would stop blackmailing her. Celia could only feel smug from the anticlimactic moment.
Fungus darted back into the room with a dated flashlight. Randall snatched it from his hands. He put it inside the door and turned it on, but nothing happened. Randall stared into the bulb, then glared at Fungus.
"You idiot! The batteries are dead!" Randall exclaimed, smacking Fungus with the dead flashlight. Suddenly, it flickered on.
Randall shone it into the door. No one was in there. It was just a dark, empty room. It looked as if it had been empty for a number of years. There was no sign of life. It didn't even go into another world. Just an empty room.
"You have got to be kidding me!" Randall shouted into the room. His voice echoed a few times. "I've been waiting all this time, and nothing is in there? Waternoose lied to me! He trusted me with everything and then he just lied!"
Randall hammered his fist onto the door frame in anger, but he recoiled in pain, trying not to show it.
"Yeah...that's a shame...." Fungus added in. "I mean, it's not like you can actually go and demand the door from Waternoose, 'cause he's in prison and all...so can we go now?"
"Fungus, you're not completely useless." Randall said, the closest thing to a compliment Fungus ever got from Randall. "Waternoose is in prison, but that doesn't mean he can't have any visitors. Who's up for a little road trip?"
