Monsters at Large Page #6

---

It uses CO2 canisters to shoot

a large net to capture anything.

Ooh, dibs!

You have to reload it

after every shot.

So make each shot count.

One shot is all I need.

After that, we have the always

reliable Nut Buster.

I vote you carry that one.

And finally, I made a souped-up

version of my Taser.

Guaranteed to incapacitate whoever

and whatever gets in its way.

Guess this one is for you.

Oh, and don't forget

the old bag of fireworks.

And the Big Bertha!

Oh, I have another surprise.

- I made this.

- What is that?

It's a grappling hook.

It shoots zipline and a tether.

Do you really think

we need one of those?

We absolutely do!

All right, so we have our tech

to take down this monster.

What's the rest of your plan?

Well, we stand up here and watch

until we find our monster.

- That's it?

- That's it.

You didn't create some kind of

monster tracking device thingy?

No, I was a bit busy

working on everything else.

Just relax and keep an eye out.

This is taking forever.

What time is it?

Don't you have your phone?

No, I lost it.

That's not good.

Yeah, I threw it at the monster

and he ate it.

- The monster ate your phone?

- Yup.

That's awesome!

- It is?

- Yeah.

All we have to do is use Find My

Phone to track his phone.

And if the monster ate it, it'll

tell us exactly where it is.

You're a genius!

Phoenix, gimme your phone.

I love how I can invent

all these gadgets

and all Alex has to do is mention an

app and he gets the title, "genius."

I got it!

According to this,

he's only one mile away.

Let's go!

Geronimo!

This is awesome! Whoo!

That was awesome!

I'm gonna send the tether

back for you...

- ...guys.

- Don't bother.

How did you guys

get down here so fast?

We used the ladder.

I bet that wasn't

as cool as what I did.

I'll bet it wasn't.

All right, let's go.

Guys, wait up,

I think I tweaked my ankle.

Shh! Can you please be quiet?

You're the one who

stepped on something.

Oh, I know that.

Just be quiet.

How close are we?

According to this,

is should be right here.

I don't see anything.

Try calling his phone.

Good idea.

You're a genius.

It's coming from over there.

Guys. Let's shine our lights

on three....

One... two...

Charging?

Phee!

On it!

Gavin, it's all you!

You did it, buddy!

I can't believe it.

You were right.

You were right.

Uh, guys...

A little help here?

Oh, right.

- How did you even...?

- Whoa!

Everyone okay?

- Yeah.

- Yeah.

Now all we have to do

is figure out

what we're gonna

do with our monster.

What monster?

He's moving. And moving fast.

Let's go.

He went to the amusement park?

Where'd he go?

It says he's

around here somewhere.

Why would he come

to a populated area?

How could he possibly hide here?

There he is!

Whoa, whoa, whoa, kids,

the entrance is around front.

But, there's a monster in there.

Yeah, it's a haunted house.

That's kind of the point.

You still gotta buy a ticket.

Come on.

Nice outfits.

Alex?

Ashley?

We'll get the tickets.

What are you doing here?

You first.

Just hanging out with some friends.

What about you?

Well, this is gonna sound crazy, but we're

chasing a monster and it's in the haunted house.

Yeah, you're right.

That does sound crazy.

Can you do me a favor and watch Gavin for

a few minutes while we check this out?

- I'm going with you.

- No, you aren't.

Look, buddy, I know you can handle this, but

I need you to stay out here and keep watch.

- Can you do that for me?

- Yeah.

- Can you please watch him?

- Yeah, sure.

Got 'em.

- Thanks. I'll be right back.

- Okay.

Yeah. Sorry.

Thanks for not hating me.

I could never hate you.

You just owe me.

Alex!

Not him!

Whoa, there, geeks.

Looks like you still think

it's trick or treating time.

Just take our tickets, Gordon.

What if I don't want to? I could

refuse service to anyone, you know.

Go ahead.

Tickets, please.

Thank you!

Monster one and two do you copy?

Monster one

and two do you copy?

Yeah, I copy.

I got the Monster Squad

headed your way.

Give them something a little...

extra special.

Understood.

Did your dad help make this?

No, this is an

embarrassment to haunted houses.

Keep your eyes peeled.

The monster could be anywhere.

Oh!

Sorry.

We need to be more careful with

things so we don't hurt anyone else.

Oh... Sorry about that.

Are you okay?

I-I'm... f-fine.

What are you guys

supposed to be?

Monster Busters.

Okay, this place

is so stupid.

See? It's not even

that scary.

This is so lame.

Ooh, scary guy

in a costume.

It's him! Get him!

Thank you.

I should be in there with them.

Gavin!

You cannot run off like that.

I was worried sick.

Ashley!

You leave her alone!

This way!

Gavin?

He took them!

He's heading that way.

I bet he's heading

to the old cave.

Then that's

where we're heading.

- What happened?

- Those Monster nerds attacked us.

You got beat by those geeks?

Well, there must have

been, like, 20 of them.

No, there's, like,

three of them.

I saw them.

Which way did they go?

Out back towards the woods.

Let's go.

- Doh!

- Oh, Mr. Phillips, I'm so sorry.

Gordon... Gordon.

- Come on!

- Let's get those Monster Busters!

Nice balloon.

Daddy, they're gonna hurt

the Monster Busters.

Monster Busters.

I'll get to the bottom of this.

All right, Monster Busters,

this is it.

There's no turning back now.

We have to stick together.

- I got your back.

- Me, too.

- Ready?

- Ready.

On three.

Monster Busters!

Let's do this.

Lights.

Eww. What's that smell?

The monster must be stealing people's

trash and bringing it here to eat.

Ugh. The smell is horrible.

We found the culprit.

See? Another monsturd.

I found my phone!

Oh, gross!

Selfie!

Remind me to never ask

to use your phone. Eww.

Guys, guys,

turn your lights off.

We don't want to give away

our position.

Dude, he's taking their souls.

Not on my watch.

Hey, ugly!

You wanna mess with someone?

Mess with us!

Lights!

Oh, come on!

Hit him again!

I can't.

It's charging.

It's charged.

Let her go!

Shoot him!

I don't have a clear shot.

Just shoot!

Hey, monster!

I'm about to rock your world!

I can't believe that worked.

Nice shootin', Tex.

Yeah, that was amazing.

Eh, that was nothin'.

What did you do to them, huh?

What did you do to my brother

and girlfriend?

"Girlfriend"?

Alex?

Ashley?

I thought the monster

stole your souls.

- Yeah, are you okay?

- Yeah, yeah.

It was strange.

I remember twisting my ankle,

and I hit my head.

Then I was floating.

And he put his hand

over my wounds.

He made the hurt go away.

- Come again?

- Yeah. He healed us.

Look.

It was so cool!

I got to see inside his brain.

Come again?

Yeah, it was like when

he was healing us,

we were... connected.

That's weird.

Even for me.

I saw his home, and how

he's trapped in our world.

All he wants to do is go home.

I call shenanigans.

All he's been wanting to do

is jack us up.

No, it makes sense.
