After a lengthy plane ride through a few gates of light, Kat and Sulley finally arrived at the Hawaiian airport. The two Anthros casually chatted with each other as they looked for their bags on the conveyor belt,
"Ugh, I'm glad to finally be off that plane," said Kat groggily,
"Aw come on, it wasn't that bad," Sulley replied with a smile,
"To you maybe since you were sleeping most of the ride with your sound-proof headphones on, though to me it felt like we were on that plane for months! And it didn't help that there was a stupid baby crying for half the ride!" Said Kat in an irritated tone as he clenched his teeth,
"Kat…" Sulley tried chiming in though Kat kept going on his tangent,
"Four ears Sulley! Four of them! It was especially bad for me on that ride!... though come to think of it do you even have ears?" Kat asked, his tone calming down near the end of his query,
"Yeah, they're just small, though anyway Kat, relax, the plane ride is over, now we just got to go to our motel," Sulley explained. Kat took a deep breath and sighed before crossing his arms,
"I guess you're right, things'll be a lot quieter since it's just the two of us on this vacation," Kat commented, though Sulley awkwardly looked away from Kat and scratched the back of his head,
"Um, about that… I actually invited one more person to join us on this vacation and forgot to tell you," Sulley explained. Kat tilted his head as he looked at Sulley,
"Oh? Well who is it?" Kat asked,
"My brother," Sulley replied bluntly, causing Kat's eyes to widen in surprise,
"You have a brother?!" Kat asked with a shocked tone, he was so caught off guard that he nearly missed picking up his bag as it was coming by, though thankfully Sulley reached over with his large arms and retrieved it for him. After graciously accepting his bag from Sulley, Kat spoke up again,
"How come you've never mentioned your brother before?" Kat asked,
"You never asked, plus you and I don't hang out and talk nearly as much as you and Panthro do," Sulley explained,
"I guess that makes sense…" Kat commented as he trailed off. A minute of awkward silence followed Kat's last comment before Sulley spoke up again,
"It's not an issue if he joins us, is it?" Sulley asked,
"Is he nice?" Kat asked,
"Yeah, I think you'd like him," Sulley replied,
"Then I don't see an issue," Kat replied with a shrug,
"Thanks Kat, and again, sorry for springing this on you," Sulley explained,
"It's fine, don't worry about it," Kat replied. Kat then noticed Sulley's suitcase come around, and retrieved it for him,
"Thank you," said Sulley with a smile as he graciously accepted his suitcase from Kat,
"You're welcome, though I noticed it was super light," Kat commented,
"Well as I'm sure you've noticed, I don't normally wear clothes," Sulley explained, gesturing towards his nude body,
"That's true," Kat replied.
The two Anthros then made their way to a certain section of the terminal,
"Is this where your Brother is going to be meeting us?" Kat asked,
"Yeah.. at least.. I think so," Sulley explained,
"You don't sound very confident," Kat commented,
"I can be forgetful at times," Sulley explained before he got out his phone,
"Wait right here, I'm going to double check real quick," Sulley explained before he walked away as he fiddled with his phone, leaving Kat to wait alone. A few minutes passed before Kat heard a familiar voice in his head,
"Hey Kat," Elster greeted,
"Oh, hey Elster, how are you? I haven't heard from you in the last few days," Kat replied mentally,
"Yeah sorry, I've been distracted by this strange phenomenon going on," Elster commented vaguely,
"What do you mean?" Kat asked,
"Kat, we have a dimensional intruder running around on our turf," Elster explained,
"A dimensional intruder?" Kat asked,
"Yeah, as in someone from a different dimension who decided to pay ours a visit," Elster explained,
"Are you serious? How can you tell?" Kat asked,
"I've reached my hands into the dark vortexes enough times to pick up a sense for things from other dimensions," Elster explained,
"I see… is this visitor bad news?" Kat asked,
"I dunno, it's kind of impossible to tell without meeting them," Elster explained. Kat then took the time to take Bruiser's ball out of his pocket, the hybrid could see through the red roof of the pokeball to see the Incineroar was resting peacefully and smiled. Kat was tempted to leave Bruiser back at the base with Kuriboh, though he remembered Bruiser had worse abandonment issues due to his past so he ultimately decided against it. Fortunately the airport was ok with Pokemon being apart of the luggage as long as the locking function of the ball was in use for as long as the trainer was at the airport or on the plane. Kat then put Bruiser in his pocket before Elster spoke up again,
"Though enough about the visitor, you're taking a vacation huh?" Elster asked,
"Yep," Kat replied,
"Is a blue moon in the sky?" Elster asked,
"What? No, it's not even dark outside yet," Kat replied,
"It's just a figure of speech, I was commenting on how rarely you take it easy," Elster explained,
“Everyone keeps saying that… I know how to take it easy..” said Kat as he crossed his arms. It then fell silent between Kat and Elster for a bit before Kat gained a concerned look,
“El?... Are you still there?” Kat asked,
“Kat… don’t be alarmed, but the intruder.. He’s right behind you” Elster explained, his words caused Kat’s heart to skip a beat.
Kat’s heart beat very rapidly and he somewhat trembled, he knew that what Elster said about someone being behind him was true since he could faintly feel breathing on the back of his neck. Kat started to turn around very slowly, before he decided that the suspense was killing him and he quickly turned around all the way to see a man standing behind him. The man was a foot taller than Kat and more muscular, he wore a black tee shirt and he had long messy dark brown hair. Kat and the man stared at each other in silence for a bit before the man spoke up,
“We can do this peacefully,” the man offered,
“Do what peacefully? Who are you?” Kat asked in confusion,
“Your power coin… give it to me peacefully, and I’ll spare your life, though I’ll only give you one chance, if you refuse to give it to me, I’ll kill you in the slowest and most painful way I can manage, and take it by force…” the man explained nonchalantly,
“Are.. Are you threatening me…?” Kat asked as he tilted his head. Kat then saw a black aura surround the man as he spoke again,
“What will it be hybrid?” said the man in an intimidating tone causing Kat’s heartbeat to quicken. Kat then clenched his eyes shut and swung at the man,
“Go Away!” Kat yelled, though the hybrid was confused when he didn’t feel his fist collide with anything and opened his eyes to find the man was gone.
Kat looked around to see that the man was nowhere to be found, though a few people were staring at him thanks to his previous outburst. Kat then looked away from the people nervously,
“I-I must’ve just been imagining things heh heh, silly me.. Right El?” Kat asked mentally with a small nervous smile, though after a moment his smile faded when he noticed his ancestor wasn’t responding,
“Elster?” Kat inquired mentally,
“Kat!” said Sulley calling out to him. Kat then turned around to see Sulley approach him with his phone in his large clawed hand,
“Oh, hey Sull… did you find out if we’re at the right place?” Kat asked nervously,
“Yeah, this is the right place.. Are you ok? I heard you yell,” Sulley explained,
“Did you now?” Kat asked rhetorically as he looked away in shame,
“Is everything ok buddy?” Sulley asked,
“I… thought someone was threatening to kill me…” Kat explained in a frightened tone as he trembled a bit. Sulley’s eyes widened a bit when he heard what Kat told him, so he put a hand on Kat’s shoulder,
“Kat, tell me everything.. Who did you think was threatening to kill you?” Sulley asked in concern,
“Well, he kind of just.. Vanished, but just a moment ago... There was a man with long dark brown hair, he was demanding something from me, I-I think he called it a power coin, and he threatened to kill me if I didn't give it to him..." Kat explained as he attempted to calm his nerves with deep breaths,
“A power coin? That’s odd, though I wouldn’t worry Kat, I think you were just imagining the guy you were with, being on missions so much has probably taken a toll on you,” Sulley explained,
“But-” Kat tried interjecting, though Sulley kept talking,
“Besides, even if that guy was real, don’t worry, you have the best monster in Monster’s
Inc to keep you safe if he’s too much for you to handle,” Sulley explained as he playfully flexed one of his arms,
“I… heh, you’re right, thanks Sulley,” said Kat with a smile. Sulley then patted Kat on the head before giving him a little hug. Kat broke the hug and asked-
“So when should your bro get here?”
“He should be here soon,” Sulley replied before he got out a sign with “Ben” wrote across it and held it up,
“Ah so his name is Ben,” Kat commented,
“Yep, though I probably should’ve told you that a bit earlier,” said Sulley with a nervous chuckle,
“It’s cool, I’ll be on the lookout for Ben Sullivan,” Kat explained,
“That’s one of the names he goes by, though he also goes by Ben Fuller” Sulley explained,
“Ben... Fuller...? Why would he go by a different last name than yours? I thought you guys were brothers” Kat commented,
“It’s kind of a long story, I’ll tell you another time,” Sulley replied dismissively.
It wasn’t long before someone approached Sulley and Kat, he was an anthro bandicoot with orange fur on most of his body, though yellow fur around his mouth and neck and purple spots in various areas of his body, spiky brown hair that had blue highlights in it, one of his eyes was dark blue, while another was brown, he wore an outfit with predominantly blue and light green colors, his shorts were baggy, his shoes were large, and around his neck he wore a strange-looking star-shaped charm. The Bandicoot wheeled around his suitcase as he was walking in Kat and Sulley’s direction, and he didn’t seem to pay the Anthros any mind at first, likely because he didn’t yet see them. Though Sulley’s face lit up when he saw the bandicoot, and he waved his sign at him excitedly,
“Ben! Over here!” said Sulley happily to the bandicoot. The bandicoot’s eyes widened when he heard Sulley’s voice and when he turned his attention to the monster he seemed incredibly happy,
“Sulley!” said Ben as his eyes sparkled with excitement and he ran towards Sulley,
“Bro!” said Sulley excitedly as he opened his arms nice and wide. The two brothers hugged each other as they chuckled, and Sulley even slightly lifted Ben off the ground and spun him around once before setting him back down on his feet,
“Bro.. you don’t understand how much I’ve missed you,” said Sulley happily,
“I’ve missed you too big bro! I can’t wait to spend time with you in Hawaii” said Ben happily as his eyes sparkled. Sulley then rubbed the back of his head in embarrassment,
“Well uh, actually I forgot to tell you, but someone will be tagging along with us,” Sulley explained,
“Oh? Well who is that?” Ben asked, Sulley then gestured towards Kat, who gingerly waved,
“This is my teammate Kat, he’s been overworking himself so he has to take a mandatory vacation,” Sulley explained,
“Hey” said Kat timidly,
“It’s nice to meet you Kat.. though uh, what do you mean teammate Bro?” Ben asked,
“Oh right, I haven’t told you about that yet either… basically Kat and I are apart of a hero team called “The Anthros of Justice”, we help people all the time and were one of the best teams around,” Sulley explained,
“Gosh, that’s quite the leap from being CEO of Monster’s Inc,” Ben commented with a smile,
“I mean I’m still CEO, I juggle the jobs,” Sulley explained,
“Ah, that must be hard, though in any case it’s good to see you again, and Kat, it’s nice to meet you,” said Ben warmly,
“Likewise,” Kat replied,
“So how have things been for you? Still swinging your big key around?” Sulley asked,
“I keep telling you bro, it’s a keyblade” Ben corrected,
“Keyblade?” Kat inquired,
“Yeah, I would show you, though I don’t want to get in trouble with airport security,” Ben explained,
“Though it’s a giant key that can be used as a blade right?” Kat asked,
“Yep, have you seen a keyblade wielder before?” Ben asked. Kat then recalled his meeting with the Paragons in the burning building,
“I did, King- er… Mickey Mouse” Kat explained, remembering that Mickey wasn’t big on formal titles,
“Wait… You’ve met Keyblade Master Mickey?!” Ben asked in surprise, Kat shrugged in response,
“I uh… think so? His key is golden and his handguard is silver, and there’s an area where a crown symbol is in the negative shape of the blade” Kat explained,
“Oh my Gosh! You saw him wielding Kingdom Key D!?” Ben asked excitedly before he grabbed Kat’s shoulders,
“Not only did you meet the Mickey Mouse, but you also saw him wielding the powerful keyblade he acquired from the world of darkness and..” said Ben before he let go of Kat’s shoulders,
“Oh uh, I’m sorry, I got really excited, I didn’t mean to make this awkward,” Ben explained bashfully,
“Nah it’s ok, your nerding out was actually kind of cute,” said Kat before he blushed, regretting his wording. Ben then blushed and tried speaking,
“Uh.. thanks, I-I wasn’t expecting that kind of compliment,” said Ben nervously before he buried his face in Sulley’s chest fur to hide his blushing, causing Sulley to shoot Kat a “what were you thinking?” look,
“I-I just meant cute in an endearing way! Not in an attractive way, I think we all have someone we look up to and nerd out over, for me it's Link, who I've also met, matter of fact I've met all the Righteous Paragons,” Kat explained,
“Wait.. I’ve never heard of the Righteous Paragons, though Link, the hero of time is a member? Who else is a member besides him and Mickey?” Ben asked, his voice was muffled due to his muzzle being against Sulley’s chest,
“Well let’s see… There's Sonic the Hedgehog, Mario, All Might, Red, and Lion-O” Kat explained. Ben then moved his head away from Sulley again and once again excitedly held onto Kat’s shoulders,
“Oh my gosh! I’ve heard of most of those guys before! You should introduce me to them sometime, as well as the other members of your team since I’m curious who else my bro works with!” Ben requested excitedly,
“Eh heh, I’ll see what I can do,” Kat replied,
“Awesome!... say Kat? What about Crash Bandicoot?” Ben inquired,
“Oh uh, I dunno about Crash, I don’t think he’s in the Paragons, though he might be a hero,” Kat explained,
“Oh Kat there’s no “Might be” about it, he IS a hero! I’ve played all the games based on his adventures ever since I was young, and I’ve looked up to him for as long as I can remember, if you want I could even go into his origin story of how he became a he-” said Ben as he was going on a tangent,
“Ben!” said Sulley to get Ben’s attention. Ben then realized he was being a bit too talkative and gave an embarrassed look,
“Oh uh, heh, sorry, I was getting carried away,” said Ben,
“It’s ok, you don’t have to stop talking, though maybe slow down a bit and talk while we walk to the motel,” Sulley suggested as he started walking,
“So uh, you played the Crash Bandicoot games when you were younger, that’s cool, I played the Legend of Zelda games when I was younger, hence why I look up to Link.. what about the Mario and Sonic the Hedgehog games? I’m guessing you’ve played those too considering you seem to recognize them,” Kat commented as he followed Sulley,
“Oh yeah! I loved playing those games when I was younger, though in the Sonic games I think I spent more time raising Chao in the Chao Garden than going through the levels,” Ben explained,
“Wow Ben, you must like video games,” Kat commented with a smile,
“I do like video games! They’re so much fun!” Ben explained happily. After walking around in silence for a bit, Kat spoke up again,
“Say Ben? Where are your horns?” Kat asked,
“My horns?.. Oh yeah, since I’m Sulley’s brother you were probably expecting to see horns, though I actually don’t have them in this form, though I do have them in my half-monster form,” Ben explained,
“Half-monster form?... come to think of it you don’t look like Sulley too much apart from also having purple spots, heck you even got ears unlike him,” Kat commented before he gave one of Ben’s ears a quick poke. Ben then blushed and gasped a bit when Kat poked his ear, and the ear instinctively twitched to Kat’s touch,
“W-well I’m half bandicoot, half Sullivan monster, as such I’ve dubbed my species, Sullicoot.. Also please don’t poke my ears, they’re sensitive,” Ben explained,
“Ah! I’m sorry, I know how you feel, my tail is sensitive too,” Kat explained. Ben then pointed ahead at Sulley who walked a few feet in front of them,
“I know from experience my bro’s tail isn’t too sensitive, though he is good at tickling with it,” Ben explained,
“Sulley tickled you? Is that something he does a lot?” Kat asked,
“Only sometimes,” Sulley explained,
“Is that a thing siblings normally do to each other? I don’t remember my big sis and I ever doing that” Kat explained,
“It’s not too odd, just think of it like a friendlier version of sibling wrestling, I do it because Ben enjoys it,” Sulley explained,
“As a result I’ve nicknamed him “the tickle monster,” Ben explained. The three of them finally exited the airport,
“That sounds cute, is that like when Panthro calls me “Kitten?” Kat asked,
“Uh.. sure,” Sulley replied with a smile,
“Kitten? I think I need an explanation,” Ben commented,
“Oh hey! We’re finally out of the airport, so I can finally put my collar back on without security hounding us,” said Kat happily before he put on his precious bell collar that Panthro gave him
"A bell collar? Are you like someone's pet?" Ben asked
"What? No! I wear it because Panthro gave it to me and it's precious to me!" Kat explained in annoyance, clearly taking offense to what Ben said,
"Who's Panthro?* Ben asked,
"He's my leader, and the best friend I'll ever have, he doesn't treat me like a pet, he treats me as his equal!" Kat explained,
"Ah I see, I'm sorry Kat, I didn't mean anything by it, it's just that usually I see collars being worn by pets. I understand how you feel though, my wayfinder is precious to me," Ben explained as he gestured towards his necklace,
"Oh? Your star-shaped necklace is precious to you? Who gave it to you?" Kat inquired, his tone calming down,
"My friend Stitch, and he didn't just give it to me, he made it for me," Ben explained,
"Ah, well handmade gifts are always the nicest," Kat commented,
"Yep! And you know what? My friend Stitch lives in Hawaii too! I can't wait to see him again," said Ben excitedly,
"You can see him tomorrow bro, it's going to take a few hours to get to our motel and unpack, we'll be exhausted by then," Sulley explained,
"Ah I guess you're right" Ben replied. The three of them then proceeded to walk in silence for a minute before Kat broke the silence by asking-
"Hey Ben? What's Stitch like?" Kat asked,
"Oh he's amazing Kat! He's small, cute, fluffy, and strong," Ben explained,
"Is he like a dog or something?" Kat asked,
"Oh no, he's not even an anthro, he's an alien… like an outer space alien, not a foreigner," Ben explained,
"Ah well that's cool, an alien in Hawaii" Kat commented,
"Oh Kat, there's a number of aliens in this world's Hawaii, you just gotta look around, Stitch calls them his cousins," Ben explained,
"Wow, how many cousins does Stitch have?" Kat asked,
"From what I've heard… 625 of them" Ben explained, causing Kat's eyes to widen,
"That's quite a large family!" Kat commented in amazement,
"Sure is," Ben replied with a grin.
After much travelling and walking, Kat, Sulley and Ben finally arrived at their motel and almost as soon as they entered their room, Kat collapsed onto one of the beds after haphazardly tossing his bag aside,
"Heh, you must be exhausted after that long plane ride and the walk to the motel," Sulley commented,
"Mmmhmmm" Kat replied in a tired tone. Ben and Sulley then set their bags aside,
"I know how you feel Kat, it felt like it took so long to get here, and I was kinda nervous on my plane ride too since it was my first time flying solo. Thankfully I had my headphones and music," Ben explained,
"Heh, me too, though it looks like there's only 2 beds, so me and you are gonna have to share one when we turn in for the night bro," Sulley explained,
"I'm ok with that, though will you be ok sleeping by yourself Kat?" Ben asked,
"It's cool, I have Bruiser to keep me company if I get lonely" Kat explained,
"Who's Bruiser?" Ben asked,
"His Incineroar," Sulley explained. Ben's eyes then lit up with excitement,
"Oh wow, you have an Incineroar? I didn't even know you were a Pokemon trainer!" Ben explained excitedly,
"Well I only look after Bruiser since he and I have a history," Kat explained,
"Ah I see… do you mind if I see him?" Ben requested. Kat then took Bruiser's pokeball out of his pants pocket and casually tossed it to Sulley, who skillfully caught it. Sulley and Ben then peered into the ball through the translucent red top to see a very shrunk down Bruiser, who stared back at them with a casual expression,
"Oh wow, he looks so cool… is it ok to see him outside his ball?" Ben requested,
"Sure," Kat replied casually. Sulley then released Bruiser from his pokeball with a stream of bright light, within moments the light took form, and with a roar, Bruiser flexed as his flame belt lit up. Ben looked at Bruiser with amazement when the Incineroar joined them in the motel room,
"Wow, so this is Bruiser.. he looks like he's been through quite a few battles," Ben commented,
"He's got some scars, and he can be aggressive to people he doesn't like, though deep down, he's a teddy bear," Sulley explained with a smile before he pet Bruiser on his head. Bruiser chuffed as he sat on the ground and pushed his face into Sulley's hand,
"Awwww, that's so adorable… can I try?" Ben requested timidly. Bruiser then turned his attention to Ben and moved closer to him before sniffing the sullicoot thoroughly,
"He-he's sniffing me…" said Ben timidly as he stood still,
"He's trying to get your scent and decide if he trusts you," Kat explained. After a thorough sniffing, Bruiser nuzzled against Ben's chest as he chuffed happily,
"And it looks like he does," Sulley commented with a smile. Ben blushed as excitement filled him,
"Oh my God! I can't handle how adorable this is!" Said Ben happily as he pet Bruiser on his head with both hands,
"You're such a good Incineroar," Ben commented with a smile,
"Rawwwr~" Bruiser replied with a happy growl,
"Who's a good kitty?" Ben asked rhetorically as he continued his petting,
"Hey Bro, when you're done petting the good kitty, do you want to go on a walk with me?" Sulley asked. Ben then finished his petting and patted Bruiser on the head,
"Oh sure, I guess you'll be keeping Kat company, huh Bruiser?" Ben asked, Bruiser then turned to Kat and spoke to him by using his cries a few times,
"Actually, he says he wants to go with you guys so he can start to familiarize himself with the scents of the surrounding areas," Kat explained,
"Ah, I guess that makes sense considering we're not only in a different country, but also a different world," Ben commented,
"Well alright then, get some rest Kat, and enjoy yourself while you're here" Sulley instructed,
"Sure thing, just be sure to keep a close eye on Bruiser while he's with you," Kat instructed,
"Sure thing, c'mon guys let's go," Sulley instructed as Ben, Bruiser and him exited the motel room, leaving Kat alone on the bed. When Kat was sure that he couldn't hear the others, he sat up and began talking to himself,
"Elster?... Are you there?... I haven't heard from you since we encountered that guy at the airport," Kat commented aloud. An awkward silence followed Kat's comment before the hybrid spoke up again,
"I'm worried… was the guy we encountered that dimensional intruder you were talking about?... Come to think of it, was that guy even real? You saw him too right?" Kat asked aloud in concern. Another silence followed Kat's question before the hybrid sighed in frustration,
"Well.. talk to me when you can, I could use some sleep," Kat explained aloud before he lied back down, got comfortable, and was asleep within moments.
In Kat's dream, the hybrid found himself resting on his featureless station of awakening. Kat looked around, though he didn't see Elster anywhere, the hybrid grew worried and tried calling out to Elster several times as he looked over every part of the rounded edge hopefully for some sign of his ancestor, though the search was all in vain. Kat sighed and sat down,
"El… where did you go?" Kat asked aloud as he clenched his eyes shut and rubbed his temples in frustration. Upon reopening his eyes, Kat was surprised to find that he no longer sat on his station, though he was now in the middle of an endless dark void, where in the distance he could see Elster standing and speaking very quietly. Kat stood up and approached his ancestor very slowly and carefully, unsure of what Elster was saying or who he was talking to. Kat gradually closed the distance between him and his ancestor until he stood a few feet away and faced Elster's back. Kat could now vaguely make out what Elster was saying, he was repeatedly saying-
"go to him" in a very quiet tone, and what Kat found to be especially odd was when he looked around Elster, he didn't see anyone in front of him. Kat gingerly reached his hand towards Elster's back, though the moment it touched, Elster suddenly turned around to reveal he had glowing white eyes before he gave Kat a mighty shove as he yelled-
"Kat! Watch out!".
Kat then woke up, and immediately rolled out of bed, upon quickly getting back on his feet and looking towards his bed, what he saw caused his heart to skip a beat. Drakkon, the ranger from Kat's nightmare, stood on the side of the bed opposite to Kat, his flute dagger firmly pierced into the part of the bed Kat was laying at a moment ago. Drakkon slowly pulled out his dagger at an angle to further tear the fabric of the sheets and bed as Kat got to his feet. Drakkon didn't break his gaze from Kat as he freed his weapon from the bed,
"You're… you're Drakkon…" said Kat in disbelief,
"So you've heard of me, that's curious considering no version of me exists in this dimension, though such trivial details don't concern me" Drakkon commented,
"This dimension? Perhaps he's the dimensional intruder Elster was talk about… terrific…" Kat thought sarcastically,
"Why are you here? What do you want from me?!" Kat demanded angrily. Drakkon then readied his dagger and Kat responded by quickly summoning a small dark vortex and retrieving a kunai from it,
"I already told you… I want, YOUR POWER COIN!" Drakkon yelled as he lunged at Kat with his dagger ready. Kat quickly retreated to the foot of the bed, then quickly to the door, though Drakkon rolled over Sulley and Ben's bed and stood in front of the door before Kat could get to it,
"You can't run from me!" Said Drakkon powerfully before he swung his dagger at Kat again. Kat responded by blocking the swipe with his kunai, before the two of them proceeded to exchange swings with their small but still sharp and deadly weapons,
"What even is a power coin?! Is that like an artifact I stole a long time ago? Well sorry to say, but I've likely sold it by now!" Kat explained as he continued deflecting Drakkon's swipes,
"You can't lie to me! I know you still have it, I saw you wearing the outfit of the green ranger!" Drakkon explained angrily,
"What? I've never worn a ranger outfit in my life!" Kat replied,
"Liar!" Said Drakkon as he flipped over Kat, picked up the small TV in the room, and threw it at the hybrid, which Kat narrowly dodged. Drakkon then attempted to stab at Kat again with his dagger, though Kat dodged his attack, jumped onto his bed, then quickly drop kicked Drakkon in the head, the hybrid hit Drakkon so hard that he flew into the nearby clothes dresser that the TV used to sit upon, and crashed into it so hard that he left a noticeable crack in the wood. Kat then landed in front of Drakkon and pointed his kunai at the ranger's throat to keep him from getting up, though Drakkon simply chuckled,
"So you do have a bit of fight in you," said Drakkon before he skillfully kicked Kat's kunai out of his hand within a moment, and got to his feet as he stabbed towards Kat with his dagger once more,
"But you aren't good enough!" Said Drakkon. Kat quickly grabbed Drakkon's hand that held his dagger as he fought against Drakkon as the ranger tried to force his dagger into him. The struggle continued for a tense couple of seconds as Kat clenched his eyes shut, though after a moment Kat suddenly couldn't feel Drakkon's hands anymore as he suddenly fell forward, though thankfully he managed to catch himself with his legs before he fell onto his face. Kat then quickly looked around, only to find that Drakkon was nowhere to be found, though the hybrid wasn't taking any chances and took the opportunity to pick his kunai back up and check under the beds and the bathroom, since those were the only two places Drakkon logically could have ran off to, though there wasn't a trace of the evil ranger.
Kat then sat at the foot of his bed as he scratched the back of his head in confusion, when suddenly the door swung open, and Bruiser pounced onto Kat before immediately repositioning himself so that he wrapped Kat in a big loving hug and he nuzzled against him worriedly. Kat appreciated Bruiser's attempt to cheer him up, though he also heard Sulley's voice as he approached the doorway and looked around,
"Kat! When we were concluding our walk Bruiser suddenly ran back to motel room, almost like he… knew.. something was.. up," Sulley explained, his voice slowing down as he got a good look at the damages to the room. Sulley eyes travelled around the slash in Kat's bed, to the busted TV on the ground, to the crack in the dresser,
"Uh Kat?... What happened in here?" Sulley asked,
"I got into a fight," Kat explained,
"With who?" Sulley asked,
"Drakkon!" Kat explained with a worried expression,
"Who's Drakkon?" Sulley asked,
"The guy from.. my… nightmare," Kat explained sheepishly as he realized what he just said. Sulley was about to shoot Kat a skeptical look, though Kat quickly and frantically elaborated,
"N-no! It's not what you think! He's real! He came from a different dimension, and he tried to kill me!" Kat explained desperately. After a moment of silence, Sulley looked behind him to see Ben, who was all too confused with the current situation. Sulley leaned close to him and requested-
"Hey Bro, can you give us a minute in private?", Ben nodded and leaned against the outside wall next to the motel door, as Sulley approached Kat, the monster returned Bruiser to his ball, and handed it to Kat, before he sat down on the bed next to him.
Sulley looked at Kat with concern in his eyes before Kat looked away angrily,
"Don't look at me like that, I'm not crazy!" Said Kat angrily,
"I didn't say that," Sulley replied,
"You were going to," Kat replied,
"I was not, I'm not trying to judge you, I just want to talk.. are you sure you weren't dreaming?" Sulley asked,
"Dreaming?" Kat inquired,
"Yeah, like you had a very realistic dream where you thought you were being attacked by this Drakkon guy?" Sulley asked,
"No! It really happened!" Kat replied defensively,
"Kat.. if you're worried about the damages to the room, it's ok, it'd be pocket change for us to pay for the damages, and it's especially ok if you legitimately thought you were being attacked, though don't lie to me," Sulley requested,
"I'm not lying though, I didn't think I was being attacked, I was being attacked!" Kat replied defensively,
"How long ago was your battle with this Drakkon guy?" Sulley asked,
"Like a minute or two," Kat explained,
"And the only 2 ways out of this motel room are through the bathroom window, which is so small a child could barely fit through it, and the front door, though I didn't see anyone running away from the motel. So did he just vanish into thin air?" Sulley asked,
"I-I dunno!... Maybe?" Kat replied, sounding incredibly unsure of himself. Sulley reached his hand over to Kat and pet him on the head,
"You're going to be ok Kat, there's no one trying to kill you," said Sulley with a reassuring tone. Kat took a deep breath and sighed, while part of him still believed that Drakkon legitimately attacked him, the rest of him couldn't deny that the ranger's sudden disappearance made Sulley's dream theory make too much sense. Kat reluctantly nodded, which caused Sulley to stand back up,
"Great, just try and get some sleep, things'll get better tomorrow, you'll see," said Sulley with an encouraging tone before he walked to the door to let his brother into the motel room. Though as Kat curled up on his damaged bed and tried to go back to sleep, he feared for the worst during his Hawaiian vacation.

After a lengthy plane ride through a few gates of light, Kat and Sulley finally arrived at the Hawaiian airport. The two Anthros casually chatted with each other as they looked for their bags on the conveyor belt,
"Ugh, I'm glad to finally be off that plane," said Kat groggily,
"Aw come on, it wasn't that bad," Sulley replied with a smile,
"To you maybe since you were sleeping most of the ride with your sound-proof headphones on, though to me it felt like we were on that plane for months! And it didn't help that there was a stupid baby crying for half the ride!" Said Kat in an irritated tone as he clenched his teeth,
"Kat…" Sulley tried chiming in though Kat kept going on his tangent,
"Four ears Sulley! Four of them! It was especially bad for me on that ride!... though come to think of it do you even have ears?" Kat asked, his tone calming down near the end of his query,
"Yeah, they're just small, though anyway Kat, relax, the plane ride is over, now we just got to go to our motel," Sulley explained. Kat took a deep breath and sighed before crossing his arms,
"I guess you're right, things'll be a lot quieter since it's just the two of us on this vacation," Kat commented, though Sulley awkwardly looked away from Kat and scratched the back of his head,
"Um, about that… I actually invited one more person to join us on this vacation and forgot to tell you," Sulley explained. Kat tilted his head as he looked at Sulley,
"Oh? Well who is it?" Kat asked,
"My brother," Sulley replied bluntly, causing Kat's eyes to widen in surprise,
"You have a brother?!" Kat asked with a shocked tone, he was so caught off guard that he nearly missed picking up his bag as it was coming by, though thankfully Sulley reached over with his large arms and retrieved it for him. After graciously accepting his bag from Sulley, Kat spoke up again,
"How come you've never mentioned your brother before?" Kat asked,
"You never asked, plus you and I don't hang out and talk nearly as much as you and Panthro do," Sulley explained,
"I guess that makes sense…" Kat commented as he trailed off. A minute of awkward silence followed Kat's last comment before Sulley spoke up again,
"It's not an issue if he joins us, is it?" Sulley asked,
"Is he nice?" Kat asked,
"Yeah, I think you'd like him," Sulley replied,
"Then I don't see an issue," Kat replied with a shrug,
"Thanks Kat, and again, sorry for springing this on you," Sulley explained,
"It's fine, don't worry about it," Kat replied. Kat then noticed Sulley's suitcase come around, and retrieved it for him,
"Thank you," said Sulley with a smile as he graciously accepted his suitcase from Kat,
"You're welcome, though I noticed it was super light," Kat commented,
"Well as I'm sure you've noticed, I don't normally wear clothes," Sulley explained, gesturing towards his nude body,
"That's true," Kat replied.
The two Anthros then made their way to a certain section of the terminal,
"Is this where your Brother is going to be meeting us?" Kat asked,
"Yeah.. at least.. I think so," Sulley explained,
"You don't sound very confident," Kat commented,
"I can be forgetful at times," Sulley explained before he got out his phone,
"Wait right here, I'm going to double check real quick," Sulley explained before he walked away as he fiddled with his phone, leaving Kat to wait alone. A few minutes passed before Kat heard a familiar voice in his head,
"Hey Kat," Elster greeted,
"Oh, hey Elster, how are you? I haven't heard from you in the last few days," Kat replied mentally,
"Yeah sorry, I've been distracted by this strange phenomenon going on," Elster commented vaguely,
"What do you mean?" Kat asked,
"Kat, we have a dimensional intruder running around on our turf," Elster explained,
"A dimensional intruder?" Kat asked,
"Yeah, as in someone from a different dimension who decided to pay ours a visit," Elster explained,
"Are you serious? How can you tell?" Kat asked,
"I've reached my hands into the dark vortexes enough times to pick up a sense for things from other dimensions," Elster explained,
"I see… is this visitor bad news?" Kat asked,
"I dunno, it's kind of impossible to tell without meeting them," Elster explained. Kat then took the time to take Bruiser's ball out of his pocket, the hybrid could see through the red roof of the pokeball to see the Incineroar was resting peacefully and smiled. Kat was tempted to leave Bruiser back at the base with Kuriboh, though he remembered Bruiser had worse abandonment issues due to his past so he ultimately decided against it. Fortunately the airport was ok with Pokemon being apart of the luggage as long as the locking function of the ball was in use for as long as the trainer was at the airport or on the plane. Kat then put Bruiser in his pocket before Elster spoke up again,
"Though enough about the visitor, you're taking a vacation huh?" Elster asked,
"Yep," Kat replied,
"Is a blue moon in the sky?" Elster asked,
"What? No, it's not even dark outside yet," Kat replied,
"It's just a figure of speech, I was commenting on how rarely you take it easy," Elster explained,
“Everyone keeps saying that… I know how to take it easy..” said Kat as he crossed his arms. It then fell silent between Kat and Elster for a bit before Kat gained a concerned look,
“El?... Are you still there?” Kat asked,
“Kat… don’t be alarmed, but the intruder.. He’s right behind you” Elster explained, his words caused Kat’s heart to skip a beat.
Kat’s heart beat very rapidly and he somewhat trembled, he knew that what Elster said about someone being behind him was true since he could faintly feel breathing on the back of his neck. Kat started to turn around very slowly, before he decided that the suspense was killing him and he quickly turned around all the way to see a man standing behind him. The man was a foot taller than Kat and more muscular, he wore a black tee shirt and he had long messy dark brown hair. Kat and the man stared at each other in silence for a bit before the man spoke up,
“We can do this peacefully,” the man offered,
“Do what peacefully? Who are you?” Kat asked in confusion,
“Your power coin… give it to me peacefully, and I’ll spare your life, though I’ll only give you one chance, if you refuse to give it to me, I’ll kill you in the slowest and most painful way I can manage, and take it by force…” the man explained nonchalantly,
“Are.. Are you threatening me…?” Kat asked as he tilted his head. Kat then saw a black aura surround the man as he spoke again,
“What will it be hybrid?” said the man in an intimidating tone causing Kat’s heartbeat to quicken. Kat then clenched his eyes shut and swung at the man,
“Go Away!” Kat yelled, though the hybrid was confused when he didn’t feel his fist collide with anything and opened his eyes to find the man was gone.
Kat looked around to see that the man was nowhere to be found, though a few people were staring at him thanks to his previous outburst. Kat then looked away from the people nervously,
“I-I must’ve just been imagining things heh heh, silly me.. Right El?” Kat asked mentally with a small nervous smile, though after a moment his smile faded when he noticed his ancestor wasn’t responding,
“Elster?” Kat inquired mentally,
“Kat!” said Sulley calling out to him. Kat then turned around to see Sulley approach him with his phone in his large clawed hand,
“Oh, hey Sull… did you find out if we’re at the right place?” Kat asked nervously,
“Yeah, this is the right place.. Are you ok? I heard you yell,” Sulley explained,
“Did you now?” Kat asked rhetorically as he looked away in shame,
“Is everything ok buddy?” Sulley asked,
“I… thought someone was threatening to kill me…” Kat explained in a frightened tone as he trembled a bit. Sulley’s eyes widened a bit when he heard what Kat told him, so he put a hand on Kat’s shoulder,
“Kat, tell me everything.. Who did you think was threatening to kill you?” Sulley asked in concern,
“Well, he kind of just.. Vanished, but just a moment ago... There was a man with long dark brown hair, he was demanding something from me, I-I think he called it a power coin, and he threatened to kill me if I didn't give it to him..." Kat explained as he attempted to calm his nerves with deep breaths,
“A power coin? That’s odd, though I wouldn’t worry Kat, I think you were just imagining the guy you were with, being on missions so much has probably taken a toll on you,” Sulley explained,
“But-” Kat tried interjecting, though Sulley kept talking,
“Besides, even if that guy was real, don’t worry, you have the best monster in Monster’s
Inc to keep you safe if he’s too much for you to handle,” Sulley explained as he playfully flexed one of his arms,
“I… heh, you’re right, thanks Sulley,” said Kat with a smile. Sulley then patted Kat on the head before giving him a little hug. Kat broke the hug and asked-
“So when should your bro get here?”
“He should be here soon,” Sulley replied before he got out a sign with “Ben” wrote across it and held it up,
“Ah so his name is Ben,” Kat commented,
“Yep, though I probably should’ve told you that a bit earlier,” said Sulley with a nervous chuckle,
“It’s cool, I’ll be on the lookout for Ben Sullivan,” Kat explained,
“That’s one of the names he goes by, though he also goes by Ben Fuller” Sulley explained,
“Ben... Fuller...? Why would he go by a different last name than yours? I thought you guys were brothers” Kat commented,
“It’s kind of a long story, I’ll tell you another time,” Sulley replied dismissively.
It wasn’t long before someone approached Sulley and Kat, he was an anthro bandicoot with orange fur on most of his body, though yellow fur around his mouth and neck and purple spots in various areas of his body, spiky brown hair that had blue highlights in it, one of his eyes was dark blue, while another was brown, he wore an outfit with predominantly blue and light green colors, his shorts were baggy, his shoes were large, and around his neck he wore a strange-looking star-shaped charm. The Bandicoot wheeled around his suitcase as he was walking in Kat and Sulley’s direction, and he didn’t seem to pay the Anthros any mind at first, likely because he didn’t yet see them. Though Sulley’s face lit up when he saw the bandicoot, and he waved his sign at him excitedly,
“Ben! Over here!” said Sulley happily to the bandicoot. The bandicoot’s eyes widened when he heard Sulley’s voice and when he turned his attention to the monster he seemed incredibly happy,
“Sulley!” said Ben as his eyes sparkled with excitement and he ran towards Sulley,
“Bro!” said Sulley excitedly as he opened his arms nice and wide. The two brothers hugged each other as they chuckled, and Sulley even slightly lifted Ben off the ground and spun him around once before setting him back down on his feet,
“Bro.. you don’t understand how much I’ve missed you,” said Sulley happily,
“I’ve missed you too big bro! I can’t wait to spend time with you in Hawaii” said Ben happily as his eyes sparkled. Sulley then rubbed the back of his head in embarrassment,
“Well uh, actually I forgot to tell you, but someone will be tagging along with us,” Sulley explained,
“Oh? Well who is that?” Ben asked, Sulley then gestured towards Kat, who gingerly waved,
“This is my teammate Kat, he’s been overworking himself so he has to take a mandatory vacation,” Sulley explained,
“Hey” said Kat timidly,
“It’s nice to meet you Kat.. though uh, what do you mean teammate Bro?” Ben asked,
“Oh right, I haven’t told you about that yet either… basically Kat and I are apart of a hero team called “The Anthros of Justice”, we help people all the time and were one of the best teams around,” Sulley explained,
“Gosh, that’s quite the leap from being CEO of Monster’s Inc,” Ben commented with a smile,
“I mean I’m still CEO, I juggle the jobs,” Sulley explained,
“Ah, that must be hard, though in any case it’s good to see you again, and Kat, it’s nice to meet you,” said Ben warmly,
“Likewise,” Kat replied,
“So how have things been for you? Still swinging your big key around?” Sulley asked,
“I keep telling you bro, it’s a keyblade” Ben corrected,
“Keyblade?” Kat inquired,
“Yeah, I would show you, though I don’t want to get in trouble with airport security,” Ben explained,
“Though it’s a giant key that can be used as a blade right?” Kat asked,
“Yep, have you seen a keyblade wielder before?” Ben asked. Kat then recalled his meeting with the Paragons in the burning building,
“I did, King- er… Mickey Mouse” Kat explained, remembering that Mickey wasn’t big on formal titles,
“Wait… You’ve met Keyblade Master Mickey?!” Ben asked in surprise, Kat shrugged in response,
“I uh… think so? His key is golden and his handguard is silver, and there’s an area where a crown symbol is in the negative shape of the blade” Kat explained,
“Oh my Gosh! You saw him wielding Kingdom Key D!?” Ben asked excitedly before he grabbed Kat’s shoulders,
“Not only did you meet the Mickey Mouse, but you also saw him wielding the powerful keyblade he acquired from the world of darkness and..” said Ben before he let go of Kat’s shoulders,
“Oh uh, I’m sorry, I got really excited, I didn’t mean to make this awkward,” Ben explained bashfully,
“Nah it’s ok, your nerding out was actually kind of cute,” said Kat before he blushed, regretting his wording. Ben then blushed and tried speaking,
“Uh.. thanks, I-I wasn’t expecting that kind of compliment,” said Ben nervously before he buried his face in Sulley’s chest fur to hide his blushing, causing Sulley to shoot Kat a “what were you thinking?” look,
“I-I just meant cute in an endearing way! Not in an attractive way, I think we all have someone we look up to and nerd out over, for me it's Link, who I've also met, matter of fact I've met all the Righteous Paragons,” Kat explained,
“Wait.. I’ve never heard of the Righteous Paragons, though Link, the hero of time is a member? Who else is a member besides him and Mickey?” Ben asked, his voice was muffled due to his muzzle being against Sulley’s chest,
“Well let’s see… There's Sonic the Hedgehog, Mario, All Might, Red, and Lion-O” Kat explained. Ben then moved his head away from Sulley again and once again excitedly held onto Kat’s shoulders,
“Oh my gosh! I’ve heard of most of those guys before! You should introduce me to them sometime, as well as the other members of your team since I’m curious who else my bro works with!” Ben requested excitedly,
“Eh heh, I’ll see what I can do,” Kat replied,
“Awesome!... say Kat? What about Crash Bandicoot?” Ben inquired,
“Oh uh, I dunno about Crash, I don’t think he’s in the Paragons, though he might be a hero,” Kat explained,
“Oh Kat there’s no “Might be” about it, he IS a hero! I’ve played all the games based on his adventures ever since I was young, and I’ve looked up to him for as long as I can remember, if you want I could even go into his origin story of how he became a he-” said Ben as he was going on a tangent,
“Ben!” said Sulley to get Ben’s attention. Ben then realized he was being a bit too talkative and gave an embarrassed look,
“Oh uh, heh, sorry, I was getting carried away,” said Ben,
“It’s ok, you don’t have to stop talking, though maybe slow down a bit and talk while we walk to the motel,” Sulley suggested as he started walking,
“So uh, you played the Crash Bandicoot games when you were younger, that’s cool, I played the Legend of Zelda games when I was younger, hence why I look up to Link.. what about the Mario and Sonic the Hedgehog games? I’m guessing you’ve played those too considering you seem to recognize them,” Kat commented as he followed Sulley,
“Oh yeah! I loved playing those games when I was younger, though in the Sonic games I think I spent more time raising Chao in the Chao Garden than going through the levels,” Ben explained,
“Wow Ben, you must like video games,” Kat commented with a smile,
“I do like video games! They’re so much fun!” Ben explained happily. After walking around in silence for a bit, Kat spoke up again,
“Say Ben? Where are your horns?” Kat asked,
“My horns?.. Oh yeah, since I’m Sulley’s brother you were probably expecting to see horns, though I actually don’t have them in this form, though I do have them in my half-monster form,” Ben explained,
“Half-monster form?... come to think of it you don’t look like Sulley too much apart from also having purple spots, heck you even got ears unlike him,” Kat commented before he gave one of Ben’s ears a quick poke. Ben then blushed and gasped a bit when Kat poked his ear, and the ear instinctively twitched to Kat’s touch,
“W-well I’m half bandicoot, half Sullivan monster, as such I’ve dubbed my species, Sullicoot.. Also please don’t poke my ears, they’re sensitive,” Ben explained,
“Ah! I’m sorry, I know how you feel, my tail is sensitive too,” Kat explained. Ben then pointed ahead at Sulley who walked a few feet in front of them,
“I know from experience my bro’s tail isn’t too sensitive, though he is good at tickling with it,” Ben explained,
“Sulley tickled you? Is that something he does a lot?” Kat asked,
“Only sometimes,” Sulley explained,
“Is that a thing siblings normally do to each other? I don’t remember my big sis and I ever doing that” Kat explained,
“It’s not too odd, just think of it like a friendlier version of sibling wrestling, I do it because Ben enjoys it,” Sulley explained,
“As a result I’ve nicknamed him “the tickle monster,” Ben explained. The three of them finally exited the airport,
“That sounds cute, is that like when Panthro calls me “Kitten?” Kat asked,
“Uh.. sure,” Sulley replied with a smile,
“Kitten? I think I need an explanation,” Ben commented,
“Oh hey! We’re finally out of the airport, so I can finally put my collar back on without security hounding us,” said Kat happily before he put on his precious bell collar that Panthro gave him
"A bell collar? Are you like someone's pet?" Ben asked
"What? No! I wear it because Panthro gave it to me and it's precious to me!" Kat explained in annoyance, clearly taking offense to what Ben said,
"Who's Panthro?* Ben asked,
"He's my leader, and the best friend I'll ever have, he doesn't treat me like a pet, he treats me as his equal!" Kat explained,
"Ah I see, I'm sorry Kat, I didn't mean anything by it, it's just that usually I see collars being worn by pets. I understand how you feel though, my wayfinder is precious to me," Ben explained as he gestured towards his necklace,
"Oh? Your star-shaped necklace is precious to you? Who gave it to you?" Kat inquired, his tone calming down,
"My friend Stitch, and he didn't just give it to me, he made it for me," Ben explained,
"Ah, well handmade gifts are always the nicest," Kat commented,
"Yep! And you know what? My friend Stitch lives in Hawaii too! I can't wait to see him again," said Ben excitedly,
"You can see him tomorrow bro, it's going to take a few hours to get to our motel and unpack, we'll be exhausted by then," Sulley explained,
"Ah I guess you're right" Ben replied. The three of them then proceeded to walk in silence for a minute before Kat broke the silence by asking-
"Hey Ben? What's Stitch like?" Kat asked,
"Oh he's amazing Kat! He's small, cute, fluffy, and strong," Ben explained,
"Is he like a dog or something?" Kat asked,
"Oh no, he's not even an anthro, he's an alien… like an outer space alien, not a foreigner," Ben explained,
"Ah well that's cool, an alien in Hawaii" Kat commented,
"Oh Kat, there's a number of aliens in this world's Hawaii, you just gotta look around, Stitch calls them his cousins," Ben explained,
"Wow, how many cousins does Stitch have?" Kat asked,
"From what I've heard… 625 of them" Ben explained, causing Kat's eyes to widen,
"That's quite a large family!" Kat commented in amazement,
"Sure is," Ben replied with a grin.
After much travelling and walking, Kat, Sulley and Ben finally arrived at their motel and almost as soon as they entered their room, Kat collapsed onto one of the beds after haphazardly tossing his bag aside,
"Heh, you must be exhausted after that long plane ride and the walk to the motel," Sulley commented,
"Mmmhmmm" Kat replied in a tired tone. Ben and Sulley then set their bags aside,
"I know how you feel Kat, it felt like it took so long to get here, and I was kinda nervous on my plane ride too since it was my first time flying solo. Thankfully I had my headphones and music," Ben explained,
"Heh, me too, though it looks like there's only 2 beds, so me and you are gonna have to share one when we turn in for the night bro," Sulley explained,
"I'm ok with that, though will you be ok sleeping by yourself Kat?" Ben asked,
"It's cool, I have Bruiser to keep me company if I get lonely" Kat explained,
"Who's Bruiser?" Ben asked,
"His Incineroar," Sulley explained. Ben's eyes then lit up with excitement,
"Oh wow, you have an Incineroar? I didn't even know you were a Pokemon trainer!" Ben explained excitedly,
"Well I only look after Bruiser since he and I have a history," Kat explained,
"Ah I see… do you mind if I see him?" Ben requested. Kat then took Bruiser's pokeball out of his pants pocket and casually tossed it to Sulley, who skillfully caught it. Sulley and Ben then peered into the ball through the translucent red top to see a very shrunk down Bruiser, who stared back at them with a casual expression,
"Oh wow, he looks so cool… is it ok to see him outside his ball?" Ben requested,
"Sure," Kat replied casually. Sulley then released Bruiser from his pokeball with a stream of bright light, within moments the light took form, and with a roar, Bruiser flexed as his flame belt lit up. Ben looked at Bruiser with amazement when the Incineroar joined them in the motel room,
"Wow, so this is Bruiser.. he looks like he's been through quite a few battles," Ben commented,
"He's got some scars, and he can be aggressive to people he doesn't like, though deep down, he's a teddy bear," Sulley explained with a smile before he pet Bruiser on his head. Bruiser chuffed as he sat on the ground and pushed his face into Sulley's hand,
"Awwww, that's so adorable… can I try?" Ben requested timidly. Bruiser then turned his attention to Ben and moved closer to him before sniffing the sullicoot thoroughly,
"He-he's sniffing me…" said Ben timidly as he stood still,
"He's trying to get your scent and decide if he trusts you," Kat explained. After a thorough sniffing, Bruiser nuzzled against Ben's chest as he chuffed happily,
"And it looks like he does," Sulley commented with a smile. Ben blushed as excitement filled him,
"Oh my God! I can't handle how adorable this is!" Said Ben happily as he pet Bruiser on his head with both hands,
"You're such a good Incineroar," Ben commented with a smile,
"Rawwwr~" Bruiser replied with a happy growl,
"Who's a good kitty?" Ben asked rhetorically as he continued his petting,
"Hey Bro, when you're done petting the good kitty, do you want to go on a walk with me?" Sulley asked. Ben then finished his petting and patted Bruiser on the head,
"Oh sure, I guess you'll be keeping Kat company, huh Bruiser?" Ben asked, Bruiser then turned to Kat and spoke to him by using his cries a few times,
"Actually, he says he wants to go with you guys so he can start to familiarize himself with the scents of the surrounding areas," Kat explained,
"Ah, I guess that makes sense considering we're not only in a different country, but also a different world," Ben commented,
"Well alright then, get some rest Kat, and enjoy yourself while you're here" Sulley instructed,
"Sure thing, just be sure to keep a close eye on Bruiser while he's with you," Kat instructed,
"Sure thing, c'mon guys let's go," Sulley instructed as Ben, Bruiser and him exited the motel room, leaving Kat alone on the bed. When Kat was sure that he couldn't hear the others, he sat up and began talking to himself,
"Elster?... Are you there?... I haven't heard from you since we encountered that guy at the airport," Kat commented aloud. An awkward silence followed Kat's comment before the hybrid spoke up again,
"I'm worried… was the guy we encountered that dimensional intruder you were talking about?... Come to think of it, was that guy even real? You saw him too right?" Kat asked aloud in concern. Another silence followed Kat's question before the hybrid sighed in frustration,
"Well.. talk to me when you can, I could use some sleep," Kat explained aloud before he lied back down, got comfortable, and was asleep within moments.
In Kat's dream, the hybrid found himself resting on his featureless station of awakening. Kat looked around, though he didn't see Elster anywhere, the hybrid grew worried and tried calling out to Elster several times as he looked over every part of the rounded edge hopefully for some sign of his ancestor, though the search was all in vain. Kat sighed and sat down,
"El… where did you go?" Kat asked aloud as he clenched his eyes shut and rubbed his temples in frustration. Upon reopening his eyes, Kat was surprised to find that he no longer sat on his station, though he was now in the middle of an endless dark void, where in the distance he could see Elster standing and speaking very quietly. Kat stood up and approached his ancestor very slowly and carefully, unsure of what Elster was saying or who he was talking to. Kat gradually closed the distance between him and his ancestor until he stood a few feet away and faced Elster's back. Kat could now vaguely make out what Elster was saying, he was repeatedly saying-
"go to him" in a very quiet tone, and what Kat found to be especially odd was when he looked around Elster, he didn't see anyone in front of him. Kat gingerly reached his hand towards Elster's back, though the moment it touched, Elster suddenly turned around to reveal he had glowing white eyes before he gave Kat a mighty shove as he yelled-
"Kat! Watch out!".
Kat then woke up, and immediately rolled out of bed, upon quickly getting back on his feet and looking towards his bed, what he saw caused his heart to skip a beat. Drakkon, the ranger from Kat's nightmare, stood on the side of the bed opposite to Kat, his flute dagger firmly pierced into the part of the bed Kat was laying at a moment ago. Drakkon slowly pulled out his dagger at an angle to further tear the fabric of the sheets and bed as Kat got to his feet. Drakkon didn't break his gaze from Kat as he freed his weapon from the bed,
"You're… you're Drakkon…" said Kat in disbelief,
"So you've heard of me, that's curious considering no version of me exists in this dimension, though such trivial details don't concern me" Drakkon commented,
"This dimension? Perhaps he's the dimensional intruder Elster was talk about… terrific…" Kat thought sarcastically,
"Why are you here? What do you want from me?!" Kat demanded angrily. Drakkon then readied his dagger and Kat responded by quickly summoning a small dark vortex and retrieving a kunai from it,
"I already told you… I want, YOUR POWER COIN!" Drakkon yelled as he lunged at Kat with his dagger ready. Kat quickly retreated to the foot of the bed, then quickly to the door, though Drakkon rolled over Sulley and Ben's bed and stood in front of the door before Kat could get to it,
"You can't run from me!" Said Drakkon powerfully before he swung his dagger at Kat again. Kat responded by blocking the swipe with his kunai, before the two of them proceeded to exchange swings with their small but still sharp and deadly weapons,
"What even is a power coin?! Is that like an artifact I stole a long time ago? Well sorry to say, but I've likely sold it by now!" Kat explained as he continued deflecting Drakkon's swipes,
"You can't lie to me! I know you still have it, I saw you wearing the outfit of the green ranger!" Drakkon explained angrily,
"What? I've never worn a ranger outfit in my life!" Kat replied,
"Liar!" Said Drakkon as he flipped over Kat, picked up the small TV in the room, and threw it at the hybrid, which Kat narrowly dodged. Drakkon then attempted to stab at Kat again with his dagger, though Kat dodged his attack, jumped onto his bed, then quickly drop kicked Drakkon in the head, the hybrid hit Drakkon so hard that he flew into the nearby clothes dresser that the TV used to sit upon, and crashed into it so hard that he left a noticeable crack in the wood. Kat then landed in front of Drakkon and pointed his kunai at the ranger's throat to keep him from getting up, though Drakkon simply chuckled,
"So you do have a bit of fight in you," said Drakkon before he skillfully kicked Kat's kunai out of his hand within a moment, and got to his feet as he stabbed towards Kat with his dagger once more,
"But you aren't good enough!" Said Drakkon. Kat quickly grabbed Drakkon's hand that held his dagger as he fought against Drakkon as the ranger tried to force his dagger into him. The struggle continued for a tense couple of seconds as Kat clenched his eyes shut, though after a moment Kat suddenly couldn't feel Drakkon's hands anymore as he suddenly fell forward, though thankfully he managed to catch himself with his legs before he fell onto his face. Kat then quickly looked around, only to find that Drakkon was nowhere to be found, though the hybrid wasn't taking any chances and took the opportunity to pick his kunai back up and check under the beds and the bathroom, since those were the only two places Drakkon logically could have ran off to, though there wasn't a trace of the evil ranger.
Kat then sat at the foot of his bed as he scratched the back of his head in confusion, when suddenly the door swung open, and Bruiser pounced onto Kat before immediately repositioning himself so that he wrapped Kat in a big loving hug and he nuzzled against him worriedly. Kat appreciated Bruiser's attempt to cheer him up, though he also heard Sulley's voice as he approached the doorway and looked around,
"Kat! When we were concluding our walk Bruiser suddenly ran back to motel room, almost like he… knew.. something was.. up," Sulley explained, his voice slowing down as he got a good look at the damages to the room. Sulley eyes travelled around the slash in Kat's bed, to the busted TV on the ground, to the crack in the dresser,
"Uh Kat?... What happened in here?" Sulley asked,
"I got into a fight," Kat explained,
"With who?" Sulley asked,
"Drakkon!" Kat explained with a worried expression,
"Who's Drakkon?" Sulley asked,
"The guy from.. my… nightmare," Kat explained sheepishly as he realized what he just said. Sulley was about to shoot Kat a skeptical look, though Kat quickly and frantically elaborated,
"N-no! It's not what you think! He's real! He came from a different dimension, and he tried to kill me!" Kat explained desperately. After a moment of silence, Sulley looked behind him to see Ben, who was all too confused with the current situation. Sulley leaned close to him and requested-
"Hey Bro, can you give us a minute in private?", Ben nodded and leaned against the outside wall next to the motel door, as Sulley approached Kat, the monster returned Bruiser to his ball, and handed it to Kat, before he sat down on the bed next to him.
Sulley looked at Kat with concern in his eyes before Kat looked away angrily,
"Don't look at me like that, I'm not crazy!" Said Kat angrily,
"I didn't say that," Sulley replied,
"You were going to," Kat replied,
"I was not, I'm not trying to judge you, I just want to talk.. are you sure you weren't dreaming?" Sulley asked,
"Dreaming?" Kat inquired,
"Yeah, like you had a very realistic dream where you thought you were being attacked by this Drakkon guy?" Sulley asked,
"No! It really happened!" Kat replied defensively,
"Kat.. if you're worried about the damages to the room, it's ok, it'd be pocket change for us to pay for the damages, and it's especially ok if you legitimately thought you were being attacked, though don't lie to me," Sulley requested,
"I'm not lying though, I didn't think I was being attacked, I was being attacked!" Kat replied defensively,
"How long ago was your battle with this Drakkon guy?" Sulley asked,
"Like a minute or two," Kat explained,
"And the only 2 ways out of this motel room are through the bathroom window, which is so small a child could barely fit through it, and the front door, though I didn't see anyone running away from the motel. So did he just vanish into thin air?" Sulley asked,
"I-I dunno!... Maybe?" Kat replied, sounding incredibly unsure of himself. Sulley reached his hand over to Kat and pet him on the head,
"You're going to be ok Kat, there's no one trying to kill you," said Sulley with a reassuring tone. Kat took a deep breath and sighed, while part of him still believed that Drakkon legitimately attacked him, the rest of him couldn't deny that the ranger's sudden disappearance made Sulley's dream theory make too much sense. Kat reluctantly nodded, which caused Sulley to stand back up,
"Great, just try and get some sleep, things'll get better tomorrow, you'll see," said Sulley with an encouraging tone before he walked to the door to let his brother into the motel room. Though as Kat curled up on his damaged bed and tried to go back to sleep, he feared for the worst during his Hawaiian vacation.
