Monsters at Large Page #7

---

He never actually

harmed us.

All he was trying to do

was protect himself.

From our attacks.

Oh come on,

he tried to eat us.

His teeth were this

close to my face.

Now, isn't that right?

Great.

Next time can someone

please have eyes on him?

He's gonna try

to sneak up on us.

Well, well, well If it isn't our

little friends, the Monster Busters.

Oh, look, they dropped

their toy.

My friends don't really appreciate

what you did to them back there.

No, we really didn't.

Look, I'm really sorry.

It was an honest mistake.

Oh, you're

gonna be sorry.

No, I think I'll take

the first shot.

And, since I won't hit a girl,

who will take her place?

I will!

- No. I will.

- I said I will.

No, I will!

Enough! This one's got your name

written all over it, Parker.

What's your problem

with me, huh?

You've always

just been a jerk to me.

I just don't like losers.

And you... are a loser.

I'm not a loser.

I'm a Monster Buster.

Lights out, Monster Buster.

Hey, hey, hey, hey.

What's going on here?

Mr. Phillips,

what're you doing here?

I warned all of you,

that if you kept up with

this Monster Busting thing,

there would be consequences.

But you don't understand.

There really are monsters.

- I've heard enough.

- Yeah. Me, too.

You're all acting

like children!

Look at you!

In your ridiculous costumes!

Playing in a cave!

That's what's wrong

with kids these days.

Huh? You just let your

imagination run wild

without any basis

in scientific fact.

When I was a kid,

we didn't do these crazy things.

We had video games!

Now, I want all of you out

of here right now.

But, what

about the monster?

Are you not listening to me?

I told you.

There is no such thing

as monsters, and that's final!

Uh...

Mr. Phillips?

What?

We... we tried to tell you.

Tell me what?

Oh, you mean the...

Sorry, Mr. Phillips!

It's okay.

They won't hurt you anymore.

No, he's right.

We don't want

to fight anymore, do we?

- No.

- No.

Easy, buddy.

Oh, I love Twinkies.

Ugh. Still love 'em?

- Eat it.

- I am not gonna eat that.

- You have to now!

- You eat it.

He's offering it to you!

Take one for the team.

Ohhh.

Mmm!

Good.

Can we please leave before

he makes me eat something else?

Good idea. We'd better be

getting home anyway.

Wait. We have to help him.

Yeah. He needs to be

in his home.

Away from all of this.

How?

His home is down there.

Is... is that your home?

You know, home?

I don't believe his mouth has the

capability to make the same noises we do.

Well, obviously.

That's so sad.

See? We have to help him.

Well, how are we gonna move

several tons of rock?

I have just the thing.

You guys ready?

You might want

to plug your ears.

Where's the kaboom?

There's supposed to be

an earth-shattering ka...

Whoa.

It's beautiful.

See how the algae

creates a glow?

This must be why his

eyes are so sensitive.

I could spend days here

looking at all the flora.

Sounds super exciting.

Well, Mr. Monster, it looks

like our work here is done.

Sorry for the whole

misunderstanding thing.

I guess we shouldn't assume

all monsters are bad.

I don't know where we could

have gotten that idea from.

Uh... What?

How was I

Supposed to know?

Do you forgive us?

Ohhh, I think that's a yes.

If you don't mind, I'm not gonna

hug you, so how 'bout fist bump?

Hey, don't leave me hangin'.

That was the worst

pain ever.

Hey, monster.

The next time you have to

visit the surface...

...you'll always be

part of the Monster Busters.

- Hey...

- Yeah?

Did you call me

your girlfriend earlier?

What...? I don't know.

- Maybe.

- That's what I thought.

- -Well, I was

caught up in the moment.

Besides, the monster's not gonna

understand platonic friend that is a girl.

You're ridiculous.

Hey, um, would you like

to hang out with me, sometime?

I thought you'd never ask.

I am not kissing you,

so don't even think about it.

But, I...

I wasn't...

Yes, you were. I saw it in

your pathetic little face.

Tahiti.

What are we gonna

do with Mr. Phillips?

Help me carry him home,

I guess.

All right. It's time

to go face Mr. Phillips.

I told you, you shouldn't have

left him in his front lawn!

Hey, the man

was getting heavy.

Besides, after

the hit he took,

I bet he doesn't

remember a thing.

Let's hope so.

If he gives you any hassle, just give

him a bag of sugar-free Gummi Bears.

Sounds good.

Good luck.

Thanks, guys.

Hey. You'll be fine.

Turn this is in

by the end of class.

The science test?

But I thought you hated me.

Hate is such a strong word,

Mr. Parker.

I feel that perhaps

I've been a bit too hard on you.

And for that, I am truly sorry.

Why the sudden change?

Well, I woke up in my yard,

after a very odd dream of

you kids in a cave in Tahiti.

And I went inside

and I decided to look

at the security camera footage

from the other night.

You saw?

I saw.

It was nice to know that, one,

I wasn't so crazy

all those years ago.

And two,

that there are kids like you

out there who can protect us.

Go Monster Busters.

Hey, kid.

You running In the halls?

- No.

- No, I think you were.

And Murphy High doesn't

like runners.

So, I'm gonna have to

write you up.

It's the monster!

- Have a good day, kid.

- Thanks.

You guys ready for this?

You know it.

Hands in.

Monster Busters!
