A/N: Sorry i took so long. But exams are done. Thank God. Last chapter, the fog has engulfed a small town of Growlburg. Richard, a police officer of the town, dragged Claws and his friends into a gas station. Sulley befriends a guy named Travis. And Claire's starting to get suspicious about the fog. Let's see what happens in this chapter. Please Read and Review. Especially review.
After Celia has done her "necessities", she exits the women's restroom and is walking in a hall behind the mini-mart. She suddenly hears noises that sounds like someone's fixing something. It's coming from the staff room. Suddenly, there's an explosion behind the door as a monster bursts out and starts coughing from the smoke. Celia dashes to the monster.
"Are you ok!?" Celia asked.
"Yeah. I'm fine. Just technical difficulties." the monster said. It's a blue turtle-like monster wearing a red cap. He looked like he's about 16 years of age.
"What were you doing?" Celia asked.
"My father was trying to fax me something when the machine was jammed by a..." the monster showed Celia a green... "Ping pong ball! I'm guessing Eddy has something to do with this. He's always keep losing this whenever he plays with his jerk of a brother."
"Eddy? You mean that clerk?" Celia asked
"Yeah." the monster said as he got up. "So, who are you anyways?"
"I'm Celia Mae. I'm a business major from Monsters University." Celia introduced herself.
"A college student, huh? Name's Samuel Dubinsky. Call me Sam for short." the turtle introduced himself.
"Dubinsky? So, you must be William Dubinsky's son, aren't you?"
"Yeah. I'm surprised my father's talking about me during his chemistry classes." Sam said as they went back to the mini-mart.
"So, are you always working here?" Sulley asked as he popped open another can of Coke Zero and drank it.
"Yeah. But I was supposed to leave early cos' I was about to head off to a Coachella Music and Arts Festival." Travis said.
"You mean the festival where mostly all of the hipsters go?" Sulley asked.
"Yeah. Actually..." Travis reached down next to where he's sitting and took out a guitar. "I was actually practicing a little for the festival cos', somehow, my friends sorta signed me up to perform there."
"Whoa! Really!? Can I hear!?" Sulley asked, wanting to hear Travis' performance.
"Uuhh... I dunno." Travis said sheepishly.
"Aw come on, man. Don't wuss out. I won't laugh." Sulley said.
"Well... Alright. Here goes nothing." Travis said as he took out a pick from his jacket pocket and started strumming a tune.
"What's somebody like you doing in a place like this? Say did you come alone or did you bring all your friends?" Travis sang.
"Say what's your name, what're you drinking? I think I know what are you thinking. Baby, what's your sign tell me yours. I'll tell you mine. Say what's somebody like you doing in a place like this?" Sulley sang along. Richard was listening to his walkie-talkie, but he could barely hear the voice because of the static and Travis and Sulley singing.
"Hey! Do you mind cutting the damn hipster music! I'm trying to listen!" Richard yelled as he continued listening to whomever's talking via walkie-talkie.
"Sheesh. What a KJ." Travis muttered.
"I know right." Sulley said as both of them fist bump. Claws was about to leave the mini-mart, but he was abruptly stopped by Richard.
"Sir, I'm sorry, but I can't let you leave until I receive further instructions." Richard told Claws.
"I just spoke to Eddy. He said there aren't any useful medical supplies for my friend. And Mike needs it desperately." Claws said.
"I'm sorry, but I can't let you out and risk anybody getting hurt from whatevers outside." Richard told him while trying to stop Claws from getting outside. Eddy rolled his eyes and had enough as he stopped playing his car and walked out of the counter.
"Oh, what the hell! I'll go! Sure beats waiting in here for something to happen." Eddy said. This made Richard mad.
"Oh, you just try, squidface. I've been waiting for an excuse to take you down." Richard said angrily.
"Eddy, are you sure?" Claws asked.
"Yeah. Sitting on my ass all night's boring. There's a pharmacy just a few blocks west. I'm gonna leave through the back door and lock it as I leave, so that nothing will get in." Eddy told them.
"You are not leaving this place!" Richard yelled, causing everyone to watch the confrontation and the little dragon monster to wake up.
"Listen, Rich, there's nothing but fog out there. Nothing more." Eddy spoke back.
"I am in charge here! You better not leave!" Richard warned him.
"You know what? Screw you. Try and stop me." Eddy said as he walked to the back entrance of the mini-mart. To Richard, it pushed him to far as he reached into his holster and was about to take his gun out when the white dragon monster girl approached him.
"Richard, what's going on?" the little monster asked while wrapped in her blanket. Richard pulled his paw away from his holster.
"Nothing, Caroline. Everything's just fine." Richard said as he gave an angry glare at Eddy who left through the back door.
Meanwhile, in the underground labs' 10th level, Dean and her team wanders through the halls. Dean has been silent ever since Prof. Dubinsky died.
"Everything okay, Dean?" Rhiza asked.
"Yes... I'm fine..." Dean answered sadly as Zack raised his hand, gesturing them to stop.
"What is it?" Rock asked.
"Did you hear that?"
"Hear what?" Sid asked. Everyone stayed silent, trying to hear something eerie. They could hear a soft hissing sound. Zack reloads his SCAR 20.
"All right, guys... Stay... on your... guard... Uuhhh..." Zack slowly got tired and fell to the floor unconscious.
"Z-Zack... A-are you... alright...?" Rock also fell to the floor along with Sid.
"W-What's... h-happening...? Uhhh..." Rhiza wearly asked as she was out cold and fell to the floor.
"Uuuhhh... W-What...?" Dean weakly said as she looked at a vent which white gases flows out of it as the Dean fell unconscious.
Inside the dean's office...
"Hehehe... Good, they're tranquilized. It's time to play a little game." the mysterious monster made an evil grin as he typed something on the keyboard. On the screen, a trap door opened as the squad fell into it, leaving Dean out of cold in the hall where there could be mutated creatures roaming it.
A/N: Finished. Phew. Now I can take a break before classes starts. Anyways, looks our mysterious monster is gonna be playing a game with our heroes in the labs. While, Eddy left the mini-mart to get medical supplies. How will this turn out? Well, just read the next one. BTW R&R.
