A New Thread of Life
A “Monsters vs. Aliens” Fan-fiction

---Chapter 1---

“NO!!! They’ll never take my experiments away!!!” I shouted as I swung my hand across my table in my makeshift lab within my cellar, destroying everything I had worked on. The beakers and test tubes shattered and the chemicals contained created fumes that made me slightly dizzy. The floor above me, men were trying to break down my family’s front door. I realized I would have to do my final test right there and then. I had been saving it for when I was sure it would be successful. I took my latest serum and approached my most important test subject who was supposed to be the first receiver of my successful serum. “Here goes nothing!” I said.
                 Suddenly, someone from above yelled, “Fire in the hole!”
A loud explosion rocked the house and I slipped on the chemicals on the floor. In an attempt to stay standing, I flung the serum in the air to maintain balance. No good. I fell on my test subject and the serum fell on my head and shattered! Suddenly I realized that I was in contact with the subject while it was in contact with the serum.
           I was feeling the serum take affect but had no idea what would happen because I had so far only tested on my simple structure test subjects so what would happen when it was on a complex subject. My subject suddenly disappeared and I wondered where it went. I tried getting up but the fumes were so strong that I was getting weaker and weaker by the second. The sound of marching feet approached the top of the cellar stairs.
                         A strong American voice said, “Fumes!! Boy, this feller’s a tough one! Send in the chem. Squad!”
                                 I was almost unconscious from the gasses when suddenly a stabbing feeling was in my leg. They had tranquilized me!
                                   I last thing I heard was the strong American voice saying, “Well we weren’t here for a monster but oh well this is a new capture record, 3.5 seconds! YEEHAWWW!!”
“Monster????” I said weakly right before I passed out.

               “BZZZZTTT!!! BZZZZTTT!!!” Sounded with a blinking red light as I came to groggily.
                “Ugh why is my bed soft yet hard and cold yet warm?” I groaned as I realized I wasn’t in my room any more.
                Suddenly the bed beneath me came out from under me and I fell to the ground and that woke me up fully. Yet something was wrong, the landing was hard yet soft like I had padding on but I still felt the impact fully.
                 I looked at my skin, wait a minute…my skin it’s soft but not like flesh but like fabric. “Oh my gosh! I have fused with my test subject!                   ” I gasped. I started sweating in shock, but how…, my flesh was fabric. “I guess I have human body functions still.”
               For some reason the clothes I had been wearing had been removed and replaced by a black collared t-shirt, black shorts and a black pair of sneakers, each with an orange trim and on the t-shirt, the number ‘0006’ was on the left breast of the shirt.
                 “What the…” I said and suddenly the buzzing light stopped and I feel as if the room was falling like some type of elevator. And as soon as it had started, it had stopped with a jerk and I fell to the ground again.
                The light retracted into the ceiling and the wall in front of me opened and I saw an enormous room! Big enough to fit The Space Needle! I was nervous to enter it but apparently the room I was in didn’t want me in it as one of its walls moved towards me and I was pushed involuntarily into the room.
                  I guess I was going into the room after all.
In the room were two tables, a small table for my height and a huge table! I mean huge! It was tall enough to be for someone 50 ft tall to dine at, I estimated, I could be off by an inch or so. But there isn’t anyone that tall? I remembered something important but it couldn’t surface… Something about monsters.
                   Oh yeah! There was this thing on the news a few months ago about monsters saving the world from giant robot, an alien invasion and then Paris from a giant snail. But the government was saying it was a huge prank by the media, but I didn’t buy it…
                    That’s right! I had been inspired by the existence of monsters to do my experiments. How could I forget that? I guess the whole new place and the effect my experiments had on me made me think in the moment.
                     “BEEEP! BEEEP! BEEEP” sounds from the corners of the room. From the ceiling three tubes are lowering down to the table at my height.           The first one drops a ball of fluff onto the table. The second one drops a colorful ball of fluff. Lastly the third tube drops a large lumpy mess onto the table and then a spoon drops down as well. After that the tubes recede.
                    I approach the first fluff. “I guess whoever caught me has decided to test what I will eat based on my body.” I picked up a piece of it and gave it a nibble and spit it back out. “YUCK! Cotton balls? Just because my body is fabric doesn’t mean I eat cotton like some stuffed animal!” I yell out hoping my capturers would hear that.
                     The second one is the colored fluff and I don’t expect much difference. I taste it, “Cotton Candy? Ah, since I’m half fabric and half human they thought of this. The cotton for the fabric and candy for human but this is breakfast time I believe and I actually eat right.”
                 The third one was the ‘glop’. I pick up the spoon and scoop up some of it and taste it. “Oatmeal! Finally real food!” I eat all of it and feel full. I guess my stomach is still human.
                 “Ah good you eat real food, I’ll tell the boys down in the mess hall to take note of that,” says a voice from behind me. It’s the same American voice I heard right before I passed out when I was captured.
