Part two written by Swing123
Jark stood in the doorway of the theater, looking back and forth along the crowd.
They were all staring at him with wide eyes and dropped mouth.
"Oh come on!" He shouted. "You act like you've never seen a monster before! WHERE IS HE?!"
"Who?" A man asked.
"CALVIN!!" Jark screamed. "The spike haired child! What theater is he in?!"
Calvin backed into the theater.
He rushed up to seats where Hobbes, Socrates, Andy and Sherman were sitting.
"Guys, we have to go." He hissed.
"What?" Socrates demanded. "We're right in the middle of the movie! We can't leave, now!"
"We worked darn hard to get in this theater!" Hobbes said, crossing his arms.
"You?" Andy demanded. "You got in for free. Calvin and I were the ones who worked to get the money for this."
"Listen, it doesn't matter," Calvin growled. "Some monster just escaped from under my bed, and it's looking for me!"
Hobbes, Socrates, Andy and Sherman stared at him.
"Why is it looking for you?" Socrates asked.
"How am I supposed to know?" Calvin demanded. "Let's just go!"
"What are you guys talking about?" Klein cut in, suddenly.
"Nothing," Calvin said. "Listen, we all have to go!"
Klein shrugged.
"Eh, suit yourself." He said.
Hobbes and Socrates groaned, but followed Calvin.
Calvin and the gang made their way to the emergency exit, and ran out.
Right on cue, Jark burst in.
"Where is Calvin?!" He demanded, angrily.
Several people looked around.
Jark glared at them.
"Well? Answer me. WHERE DID HE GO?!"
The people, apparently unable to see the monster in the darkness, pointed at the exit door.
Jark's head whipped around.
He grinned, evilly.
"Human race, your days are numbered." He growled.
And with that, he raced out.
Calvin, Hobbes, Socrates, Andy and Sherman were hiding in the theater hallway.
"Good thing I brought that hologram projector from the Time Machine's hard drive." Calvin grinned.
Hobbes, Socrates, Andy and Sherman rolled their eyes.
They watched through a window as Jark ran off down the street.
"Why exactly does this monster need you so badly?" Sherman asked.
"Who knows?" Calvin said. "Maybe he thinks I'm the Earth Potentate. Anyway, we have to get out of here before he figures out we tricked him."
"We?" Socrates demanded. "You're the one he's after."
"Nice, Socrates," Calvin said, turning to the tiger and crossing his arms. "What exactly do you think he's gonna do with you when he finds out your associated with me?"
There was a moment of silence.
A light came on in Socrates' eyes.
"We have to get out of here!" He gasped.
Calvin, Hobbes, Andy and Sherman rolled their eyes.
Meanwhile, MTM was still sitting on Calvin's desk.
The Mega-Shrinker 6000 was still throwing sparks up, and the portal between Calvin's world and the monster's seemed to be getting larger.
MTM observed this with some confusion.
"Weird," He said, to himself. "Why aren't there any other monsters coming out?"
Just then, the CD player started beeping.
"Whoops," He said. "I'm getting a call."
There was a click, and the beeping stopped.
"Hello?" He asked.
"MTM!" Calvin yelled over the phone. "Thank goodness Andy has you on speed dial! Now it only takes me three minutes to call you!"
"Uh huh." MTM replied.
"Anyway, we need you right away! How fast can you get here?"
"I dunno, three... four seconds."
"Make it quicker!" Calvin ordered.
"Whatever."
Calvin then hung up.
There was a pause.
"Teleporter activated." MTM said, suddenly.
There was a blast of electricity, and the CD player suddenly imploded, leaving the desk bare.
Calvin, Hobbes, Socrates, Andy and Sherman stood out in the middle of the hallway. Calvin had his hand out in front of him.
Suddenly, the air around Calvin's hand began swirling around.
KA-ZAAAP!!
Something chrome and red expanded outward, and suddenly the MTM appeared in Calvin's hands.
"You deliberately waited five seconds, didn't you?" Calvin growled.
"You have no idea how much energy it takes to teleport, do you?" MTM asked.
"Whatever," Calvin said. "MTM, I need you to do a thorough scan of the entire city. Locate this Jark fellow."
"Very well, However, I might want to alert you of something."
"What?" Calvin asked.
"The portal which was ripped open between our world and theirs is getting larger." MTM said.
Andy gasped.
"That must mean there's more monsters coming!" He exclaimed.
"That's the thing, though," MTM replied. "There's nothing else coming out of the portal. With an entire other dimension, you'd think there'd be more monsters. But there isn't."
There was a long pause.
"That's weird..." Calvin started. "From what I've heard from under there, there are defiantly more monsters there. Where all they all?"
There was a long thoughtful moment of silence.
Meanwhile, Jark had returned to Calvin's house.
He walked up to the wall, and looked up at the window two stories above him.
The monster held his hand up.
Long white claws shot out of its fingers.
It grabbed hold of the wall, and pulled itself upwards.
Then, it gripped the wall with its other hand, and started climbing up the wall towards Calvin's bedroom.
He grabbed hold the window, and pulled himself up.
He looked back and forth around his room, which was empty.
MTM wasn't even there anymore.
Jark turned his head.
His neck cracked as he turned it completely around, and looked back towards the city.
His eyes narrowed.
His vision suddenly zoomed in on the city.
It past up trees and buildings before coming to the theater, again.
There, the spied through the theater's window, and peered straight at Calvin, who was holding the MTM, talking to it.
A wide, sinister grin spread across his face.
"There we go," He growled, dangerously.
Jark released his grip from the house, and landed back on the ground.
He cut his eyes from side to side.
Then, he reached into a pocket in his skin, and pulled out a glowing white orb.
It was vibrating violently, and there were tiny sounds coming from it.
"Patience my brethren." He hissed at it. "You will find your freedom in due time."
And with that, he rushed off back towards town.
"Alright, MTM," Calvin said, looking around, outside. "I need you to scan the entire city and find him."
"Sure," MTM said.
"But wait a minute," Andy started. "People have seen Jark. What are we going to do before someone calls the FBI about this?"
"Taken care of," Calvin grinned.
There was a pause.
"...How?" Socrates asked.
"Psychology." MTM said.
A man ran past Calvin, Hobbes and the gang, frantically, and up to a pay phone.
He put a quarter in, and started dialing some numbers, breathing heavily, and looking over his shoulder, nervously.
"Hello, police?" He gasped. "There's some kind of manic running around in a dinosaur costume, threatening to kill us!"
There was a pause.
"Sure, I'll hold." He said.
Calvin rolled his eyes.
Just then, Klein came walking out of the theater.
"Well, movie's over." He said.
Calvin, Hobbes, Socrates, Andy and Sherman groaned.
"How'd it end?" Andy asked.
"Oh I despise spoilers." Klein said, "I don't think I should."
"Yeah, well, he's got a point." Calvin shrugged.
Hobbes, Socrates, Andy and Sherman stared at Calvin.
"Well, I've still got work to do." Klein said, checking his watch.
"Well go on then, Klein," Calvin grinned. "We'll handle this,"
"Sure," Klein said. "Good luck defeating that monster and saving the Earth."
Calvin, Hobbes, Socrates, Andy and Sherman's eyes all blanked out as Klein went past them, whistling and jingling some keys in his pocket.
There was a moment of silence.
"Uh, right," Calvin said. "Anyway, MTM I need you to scan the area for Jark!"
"Whatever," MTM said.
"Now, let's get out of here!" Socrates said, looking towards the exit.
"Agreed," Hobbes said.
"Processing." MTM said.
They kept running.
"Processing." MTM repeated.
Calvin ran up to the door.
"Processing." MTM repeated.
Calvin ripped the door open.
Everyone froze.
Jark was standing behind it, grinning, evilly at Calvin, and holding the orb in his hands.
"Hello," He said, dangerously.
"Specified person located." MTM said, suddenly. "He's behind the exit door."
There was a moment of silence.
"Good job," Hobbes said.
Jark made a grab for Calvin, who leaped from the way.
"RUN!!" Calvin screeched.
Calvin, Hobbes, Socrates, Andy and Sherman whipped around, and started running in the other directions.
Jark watched them, calmly.
"Oh, how I love moving prey," He hissed.
And with that, he crouched down and leaped upward, landing on the roof.
Calvin and the gang ripped through the hallway, passing theater all the theaters up.
"Come on, let's hide in here!" Sherman yelled, pointing at one of the theaters.
Socrates looked at the title.
"Transformers," He read. "Well, that's always nice."
They rushed inside.
The theater was empty.
Calvin, Hobbes, Socrates, Andy and Sherman looked around.
The movie had ended, and everyone had left.
"Well, we should be safe in here," Andy said.
"Remember," Calvin said. "Fear and despise every truck you see!"
Everyone rolled their eyes.
There was a moment of silence, as everyone looked around the empty theater.
Just then, there was a rattling coming from up above.
Everyone froze.
Something was scratching around on the roof.
Calvin, Hobbes, Socrates, Andy and Sherman stared at the ceiling waiting for it to go away.
Finally, the sound seemed to vanish, and everything fell into dead silence, again.
Calvin blinked.
"Well, gee, that was easy." He said to himself.
"He's not gone," MTM said.
"I am quite aware of that, MTM," Calvin said.
"What does he want with you?" Hobbes asked. "Surely he wouldn't go through all this trouble just to eat you!"
"No, that's not it." MTM said. "It's something else. He needs Calvin for something."
"But... what?" Andy asked.
The MTM started humming.
"It has to have something to do with nothing else coming out of the portal except him." The machine considered.
"Well, you know, most of the monsters under my bed vanish when I turn the light on," Calvin said. "But that's not so with Jark,"
"That's right..." MTM hummed. "For the other monsters, the bright light out here would destroy them because of their molecular structure,"
"But Jark's out there," Socrates said. "What's different about him?"
"For some reason his structure is denser, like ours," MTM said. "But.. How?"
Just then, a tan hand exploded from the wall, throwing bricks everywhere.
"AAAAUGH!!" Calvin screamed as it grabbed hold of his shirt, and started pulling him forward.
"CALVIN!" Hobbes yelled, grabbing Calvin's feet.
Andy rushed over, and grabbed Hobbes, and started pulling him back.
Socrates did also.
"Well, this is certainly awkward," MTM said.
Jark yanked his hand out, pulling Calvin, Hobbes, MTM, Socrates, Andy and Sherman along with him.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAUGH!!" They all screamed, upon exiting the building.
Jark held them over the ground, grinning insanely.
"Finally," He growled.
He dropped them all on the ground, where they landed in a heap.
There was a pause.
"OK," Calvin growled, standing up. "You have me, now, so what are you going to do with me?"
Jark stared at Calvin.
"I do not explain my plans to my enemies." He growled, reaching into his pocket.
Calvin aimed the MTM at Jark.
"Too bad, your gonna tell me, strawberry eyes," He warned.
Jark looked back and forth between Calvin and the MTM.
"What are you going to do?" He grinned. "Make me listen to rock 'n' roll on full blast?"
"Sort of," Calvin grinned. "MTM?"
"Yep," MTM replied.
BLAAAAAST!!
"AAAUGH!!"
Jark went flying off his feet as the blast threw him backwards.
"Now, that was only minimum power," Calvin warned, moving forward. "Tell me what your doing, and how your able to stay out here, and I'll let you go!"
Hobbes, Socrates, Andy and Sherman rolled their eyes.
Jark looked up, and grinned at Calvin.
Then, he took the glowing orb out, and tossed it to Calvin.
"Here, catch," He cackled.
The orb flew through the air, towards Calvin.
Calvin unintentionally caught it.
He closed his eyes, gritted his teeth, and turned his head away, waiting for it to explode.
It didn't explode.
Slowly, Calvin turned, and stared at it.
"What's this?" He asked, staring at the glowing orb.
"It's a ball," Jark said. "What do you think it is?"
There was a moment of silence.
Calvin looked back and forth between Jark and the glowng orb.
"Uh, OK," He said, unsurely. "And what exactly am I doing with it?"
Jark grinned, sinisterly.
"Stabilizing it." He said, calmly.
Just then, the orb started vibrating.
Calvin dropped it in surprise.
The orb landed on the ground, and started vibrating more violently than ever.
The wind started picking up.
Jark started laughing, insanely.
Calvin, Hobbes, Socrates, Andy and Sherman stared at it with wide eyes.
Then, MTM spoke.
"Calvin, you might want to consider dropping that thing," He said.
Calvin, Hobbes, Socrates, Andy and Sherman turned, and stared at MTM for a long moment.
"What?" MTM asked.
"I hate you," Hobbes growled.
Just then, the top of the orb opened up, and a pair of hands exploded from the opening.
Calvin gasped.
"It's... it's a portal!" He exclaimed.
"Correct," Jark said, as another monster started climbing out of the orb. "And you have stabilized our structure!"
And with that, he started laughing, again.
"Portal..." MTM said to himself. "Stabilized... Oo boy... I just figured out what's going on..."
Calvin and the gang stared in horror as monster after monster started leaping out of the orb, grinning madly, and holding their claws up.
"RUN!!" Calvin screamed.
There was a mad scramble, and Calvin, Hobbes, Socrates, Andy, Sherman and MTM vanished.
"Find them!" Jark ordered. "I want Calvin alive! For the others, you can feast!"
There was a pause.
"Well, the CD player didn't seem that edible." One monster said.
Jark stared at him.
"Then don't eat the CD player," He growled.
"And I think the tigers would give me indigestion," Another monster said, holding his stomach.
Jark glared at him.
"Then don't eat the tigers!" He growled.
"And the boy..."
"LOOK, WOULD YOU JUST BRING THEM BACK HERE?!" Jark shouted, finally.
The monsters saluted, and rushed off.
"Jark was able to come out into the sun because of the combined power of the Shrinker and me stabilized him, so he could come out here," MTM said, as everyone hid behind a dumpster.
"And the other monsters?" Andy asked.
"Absorbed Calvin's DNA." MTM replied.
Calvin's eyes squinted.
"That's how they were able to come out then," Andy said.
"But why me?" Calvin demanded. "Why couldn't he just use someone else?"
"No, he had to use you," MTM said. "You're the one who's been over the open portal for all these years, so you're the only one who could properly stabilize them."
"So what's going to happen now?" Hobbes asked, watching as a pair of monsters walked by them.
"Eh, The monsters are going to kill off the human race and take the Earth for themselves." MTM said, calmly.
"Yeah, that sounds about right," Socrates said.
Calvin's mind was racing.
"Suppose we could destabilize them?" He said, finally.
Hobbes, Socrates, Andy and Sherman looked around at Calvin.
"How do you mean?" Sherman asked.
"If we could somehow destabilized them all, then what would happen?" Calvin asked, turning to the MTM.
MTM was silent for a moment.
"Then, they'd activate a device they have with them that would suck them back into their dimension." He said, finally.
Calvin grinned.
"Sounds good to me," He said.
"But how are we going to destabilized them?" Socrates asked.
Calvin thought for a moment.
Then, his eyes lit up, and the grin got larger.
"I've got it!" He chuckled.
Jark stood on the top of the theater, laughing insanely.
"People of Earth!" He cackled. "Hear me! My name is Jark! I am the most powerful monster in the entire monster universe! I AM YOUR FUTURE!!"
People stared at Jark in confusion, trying to figure out why there was a man in a costume on the building screaming at them.
Jark glared at them all.
"Didn't you hear me?" He demanded. "SURRENDER TO ME!!"
Several people exchanged glances, then kept on walking.
Jark glared at them.
"Very well," He growled. "Then you will be destroyed."
The monster held his hand up, which began glowing.
He prepared to bring it down, when suddenly, another monster ran up.
"Uh, Master?" He said, unsurely, running up.
"What?" Jark demanded, whirling around to the monster. "Did you locate Calvin?"
The monster stared at him.
"Uh... What?" He started.
Jark's eyes narrowed.
"Oh!" The monster said, suddenly. "No, we haven't found him. But we found his CD player!"
The creature opened up his fist, revealing the MTM.
"Hell-o," MTM said, cheerfully.
Jark stared at him.
Then a wide grin spread across his face.
"Ah, the little dog with a nasty bite." He growled.
The monster set the MTM down, and ran off.
"How does it feel?" Jark asked, glaring down at the CD players.
"Easy." MTM replied, simply.
Jark stared at him.
"What?" He asked.
"I said it feels easy." MTM said.
"What are you talking about?" Jark demanded.
"It was easy to track you down. I didn't even need to locate your DNA signature." MTM said. "My sensors could pick up your body odor over five miles away. I mean seriously, when was the last time you took a shower, Zit face?"
Jark glared murderously at the MTM.
"You seem over confident," He said, calmly. "Are you assuming your going to escape?"
"Right, like I can really escape." MTM said. "I'm a CD player, you overgrown sparrow! Ooooh, lock it up and swallow the key! Put a 24 hour guard on it! The CD player might escape!"
Jark stared at MTM.
"Yeah, I think I'm just going to destroy you, instead of using you to take over the Earth," He said, calmly.
"Oh, sure," MTM said. "The CD player is a threat! Kill it! It might stop me in my highly unoriginal plans!"
Jark growled, and raising his claws.
"Unfortunately for you, that is the case here," MTM said.
KA-BOOM!
Suddenly electricity exploded from the tip of the MTM, engulfing Jark in yellow.
"AAAUGH!" Jark screamed, stumbling backwards.
He almost fell off the roof, then turned back to MTM.
"THAT'S IT!! YOU'RE GOING TO DIE!!" He roared.
"I think the word you're looking for is deactivate, because I'm not alive, you see," MTM said. "I merely carry with a me a voice chip and a personality hardrive."
"I WILL DESTROY YOU!!" Jark screamed, advancing over the MTM. "And I WILL take over the planet!"
"Did your mummy tell you that?" MTM questioned.
Jark shrieked, angrily, and began flailing his arms against the brick wall next to him.
"Whoops, someone give his lolly pop back!" MTM shouted.
Jark snatched the MTM of the ground, and held up to eye level, growling, dangerously.
"Ooooh... bad move, Takeo," MTM said.
Suddenly, the CD player started glowing bright green.
Jark stared at him for a moment, then suddenly his eyes popped open.
He screeched and dropped the MTM.
MTM's arms shot out of the tip, and lowered it to the ground, softly.
"How did you get so hot?!" Jark demanded.
"I've always been hot, baby," MTM replied.
Jark began screaming, again.
"YOU KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT!!" He shrieked. "You just generated enough heat to bend metal!"
"No, I didn't." MTM replied. "All I did was activate my energy absorber. I just sucked all the foreign DNA out of you. Wasn't that nice of me?"
Jark stared at MTM in horror.
"YOU WHAT?!" He demanded.
"Teleportor activated." MTM said, casually.
ZZZZZZT!!
Suddenly, Calvin, Hobbes, Socrates, Andy and Sherman appeared around the MTM, grinning, happily.
"Hello," Calvin said, friendly, holding his hand up in greeting.
"YOU'RE GOING TO PAY!!" Jark screamed, angrily, moving towards Calvin.
"Pay?" Andy demanded. "He doesn't owe you a cent!"
Calvin, Hobbes and the others nodded in agreement.
Jark reached out for Calvin, his arm shaking.
Then suddenly, he collapsed to the ground.
"The sun!" He screeched. "It's too... bright..."
"Don't worry," Socrates said, picking the MTM up. "Only five billion years before it goes out."
Jark reached into his pocket, and pulled out a chrome remote.
He glared angrily at Calvin.
"I will have my vengeance, Calvin," He growled, calmly. "Mark my words."
"That's nice." Calvin grinned. "Anything else unoriginal you'd like to say and or do before you go?"
Jark glared at Calvin, and pushed the button on the remote.
The lights along the remote began turning on and it began beeping.
Suddenly, the monster imploded into a tiny portal in the air, disappearing inside it.
The portal lingered for a moment, then vanished.
Calvin, Hobbes, Socrates, Andy, Sherman and MTM stared at it for a moment.
Then, Socrates handed the MTM to Calvin.
"Well, better email the upgrade." He grinned.
"Yep, I'd better," Calvin grinned.
He calmly walked over to the edge of the roof.
"MTM, activate your energy absorber." Calvin said. "Destabilize every single monster in a fifty five mile radius."
"Gotchya," MTM replied.
Suddenly, a green light burst from the MTM, engulfing everything around the group.
This occurred for only a split second, then disappeared.
"There we go," MTM said. "DNA absorbed."
Hobbes, Socrates, Andy and Sherman grinned, and walked over to the edge of the roof.
Suddenly, all the monsters around them started screeching in pain and collapsing on the ground.
People walked past them, staring at them, like they were loons.
Then, suddenly, all the monsters began grabbing their devices and hitting the buttons.
One by one, the creatures started imploding back into their dimension.
Conveniently no one saw any of this.
Of course.
Calvin, Hobbes, Socrates, Andy and Sherman watched this occur.
"This is the most unobservant town on the planet." MTM commented.
Calvin, Hobbes, Socrates, Andy and Sherman nodded.
Calvin turned to the MTM.
"MTM. Transportor." He said. "Destination, my room."
"Uh huh." MTM replied.
ZZZZZT!!
Suddenly, there was a blast of electricity, and everyone disappeared.
Then, reappearing in Calvin's room.
Calvin looked around at all the damage the Mega-Shrinker 6000 and Jark had done.
Everything was either enlarged or shrunk, the walls had been ripped up, the bed had been flipped over, and there was a gaping portal on the floor where the bed used to be.
"Hmm, this simply won't do," Calvin said, tapping his chin.
"Calvin, how are you going to clean this all up?" Andy asked.
"Simple." Calvin grinned. "MTM? Activate concentrated time vortex,"
The MTM beeped.
"Reverse polarity and close the portal." Calvin continued.
A red light shot out of the MTM, and went into the large portal.
Slowly, it began closing up.
Calvin kept the MTM steady.
Suddenly, the entire entrance disappeared, leaving only the floor.
Calvin then stood back, and aimed the MTM at his room.
He pushed a button.
ZZZZZZZIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIP!!
Suddenly, a white, spiraling funnel shot itself from the MTM, and engulfed the whole room.
Hobbes, Socrates, Andy and Sherman watched from behind Calvin.
Suddenly, all the items in Calvin's room grew or shrank to their original sizes. The rips and missing parts of the wall disappeared, revealing it untouched. The bed flipped back onto its stand, and made itself.
Then, the Mega-Shrinker 6000 lifted off the ground, and dropped back onto Calvin's desk.
The wire, which it had been placed right next to, reconnected to the microphone.
Calvin pushed the STOP button on the machine.
The funnel stopped, and left the room, looking totally untouched.
"There," Calvin announced. "All is as it should be,"
"How... how did you.." Socrates began.
"It was a concentrated time vortex," Sherman said, turning to Socrates. "Don't you listen to anything?"
Socrates glared at him.
Calvin sighed, and walked over to the Mega-Shrinker 5000.
"And here's the shrink ray." He muttered. "Right back where I started."
"Ah, cheer up, Calvin," Hobbes said, encouragingly, walking up to Calvin. "At least it's working, now."
Calvin glared at him.
"Or... right..." Hobbes began.
There was an awkward silence.
"Well..." Calvin said, straightening up. "At least I did upgrade it. Therefore that part of my resolution still is done!"
"Actually since you involved the time vortex..." MTM began.
"Shut up," Calvin spat. "It's done! Deal with it! Andy! Quick! What time is it?!"
Andy checked his watch.
"It's four fourteen." He said.
"Cool!" Calvin grinned. "There's another showing of Underdog coming on in six minutes!"
"But we can't afford it," Socrates said.
"Oh, if I know the Kleins well enough, he'll let us in for free." Hobbes assured. "He's the only adult who knows what we've been doing for the last half hour."
Calvin nodded.
"Thank goodness God decided to throw the Klein family on Earth!" He grinned.
Socrates, Andy and Sherman exchanged glances.
"Well.. OK, then," Andy said. "Let's go, then,"
"MTM, teleportor!" Calvin ordered.
"Yep, just use my batteries all you like, I don't mind." MTM said.
There was a blast of electricity, and Calvin, Hobbes and the rest disappeared into thin air.
The camera pans over to the underside of Calvin's bed.
At first, there's nothing
Then, suddenly, a pair of glowing red eyes appeared in the darkness.
"HA HA HA HA HA HA!!" Jark cackled, evilly.
