A/N: Finally saw Monsters University yesterday, and after that my mom and I watched the new episode of the hit new series based off the popular novel 'Under the Dome' by Stephen King' and thus, this idea was born. Everyone in Monsters University is trapped underneath an impenetrable force field and nobody can get out, and everyone's true selves come out, some friend will be made, enemies will be made, and some will go beyond who they really are and do things so unimaginable they just don't know who they are anymore. Enjoy!

It was another day in the middle of October, two more months until the final exam came. As usual, Mike Wazowski was fitting in some study time in with normal class time so he could pass and show everyone that he has a better chance of being a scarer than James P. Sullivan, whom liked to be called Sulley for short.

"The answer is B. Drool!" Mike called out to Prof. Knight.

"Correct, like I told everyone last week: Drool is a tool!" Prof. Knight exclaimed, circling the right answer on the chalk board with his half already used chalk. Mike's best friend, Randy Boggs whispered into his ear.

"Hey Mike, great job" he said. They both made a fist-bump and made a silent explosion sound and turned their fists into full open hands and palms.

"Okay, that's enough review for today. Now we work on scare techniques. This time we're gonna go outside and practice" Prof. Knight said to everyone. The students looked to each other with glances of confusion and some were just dumbstruck at why he's going outside for scare technique training.

"Could I ask why, sir?" Sulley asked, picking his two front teeth with his pencil, leaving a graphite stain in the middle of his teeth that was hardly visible.

"I figured you all could use some fresh air and get out of the classroom for once. Besides, you look paler than usual for being inside studying all the time in class. This'll be good for all of you, no buts about it... Let's move out everyone!" Professor. Knight said to everyone. Everybody nodded to let their professor know that he had made himself perfectly clear.

Outside, their professor was giving them the drill procedures for the techniques they'd be learning today. When Prof. Knight asked for a volunteer and Mike was raising his hand, Randy too raising his hand wanting to join his friend in reciting the techniques an earthquake was taking place.

"Everyone stay where you are!" their teacher cried out and placed his hands on his head, everybody did the same and kept their eyes closed. The quake died down and everyone was relieved.

"It's okay everyone! Just a tremor! We're safe!" Prof. Knight called out. All the students opened their eyes and took their hands, tentacles, and claws off their heads. What everybody saw next was unexplainable, a giant wall of what looked like glass collapsed onto the ground and it created a line in the ground. The ground shook and it made everyone fall onto the ground from all the shaking the ground made.

"Is everyone okay!?" Knight shouted to everyone. All the students nodded and/or said 'Yeah'.

"Look!" Sulley shouted pointing to one yellow slug monster who was close to the glass wall. All his classmates turned their attention to where the big blue monster was pointing at. The slug monster was cut in half and his insides and bones could be shown, one half of the body was on the inside of the wall, and the other half was on the outside.

"Eww!" they all shouted, others like Randy, Mike, Prof. Knight, and Sulley were covering their mouths in horror and gasping and screaming. Sulley ran over to where the one half of the body was and stood in front of the front of the glass wall.

"Mr. Sullivan! I'd advise you not to touch that thing!" Prof. Knight shouted out to the other monster. Sulley didn't listen and placed his index finger on the wall and touched it. A wave of electricity painfully shocked Sulley and he fell onto his butt on the grass. Mike and Randy who found it amusing a little bit, smirked and snickered and shared a high-five.

"Did a glass wall just shock me? How did that happen?" Sulley asked himself under his breath. He decided to touch it again, but he placed his hand on the inside of the slug monster's corpse and got blood on his fingers and palm. Everyone made gagging noises and they went 'Eww' again.

"Sullivan, don't do that! How do you know that guy didn't have some kind of blood disease or something?" Mike asked with a shout. The big blue monster rolled his eyes in annoyance and placed his hand on the wall again. This time it didn't shock him, it just made some sort of weird hovering noise and it made a distorted pattern that only a touch screen makes whenever someone pressed on it too hard with their finger.

"This thing sure isn't glass, that's for sure" Sulley whispered. He took his hand off the wall and the hovering noise could no longer be heard, and the distortion pattern was gone too, only Sulley's bloody paw print could be seen on the wall. Sulley's classmates all gasped in horror at everything they saw.

"What is that thing?" Randy asked Mike while shaking.

"I-I wish I knew b-buddy, I r-really do" Mike stuttered. Sulley went back towards his class, looked at all of them and spoke.

"I don't know what this thing is, but looking at that giant dirt line it made while going into the ground, it goes around the whole campus" everybody gasped and started looking at the line the wall made. Someone walked over to Sulley and poured water from a plastic bottle on the blood on Sulley's paw and the bigger monster scrubbed his paw clean and free of the iron scented body fluid.

"It's definitely no wall" Randy said.

"Well, if it's not a wall... what do you think it is?" Mike asked.

"It seems to be some sort of force-field" the purple lizard whispered. Mike looked towards Prof. Knight and spoke.

"Sir, do you know what this thing is?" the teacher patted Mike on the shoulder and looked down in sadness.

"No, I don't, but there is one thing I DO know"

"What?" Mike asked with a curious glace.

"We're trapped. With this thing surrounding the entire Monsters University campus, none of us are going anywhere" he said looking at the paw-print Sulley left on the wall. A sound that sounded like flapping could be heard and it was Dean Hardscrabble. She landed in front of the class.

"What is the meaning of this? First an earthquake, there's an aftershock, no power in any of the buildings in the campus and now this? Scaring student getting scared? How pathetic of all of you" she scolded all of the class with a smirk on her scaly devious face. Mike gave her the stink eye, so did Sulley and Randy.

"Mrs. Hardscrabble, with all due respect, we have a right to be scared" Prof. Knight said with a stern look standing up for his students.

"And why is THAT? Professor? Are you a little scared yourself? I thought nothing scared you easily" Hardscrabble said taunting the teacher. This made Mike and Randy, but Sulley the most, really mad, mad enough they were giving off low pitched growls and showing their teeth.

"That thing is trapping us inside the campus! No one can leave, we can't get through it!" Knight argued with his major. The dean walked up to the wall and touched where Sulley's bloody paw-print was placed. She gasped and stood back a little after getting shocked the same way Sulley had been.

"Is this some kind of joke!? If it is, I want whoever responsible off this campus immediately!" she shouted. Mike was even angrier with her. Everyone knew no student would be smart enough to make something like this and use it as a tool for amusement to prank the other students.

"You can't expel someone just because of this! Nobody is smart enough to build this thing or play a joke like this with it and you know that as much as I do!" Mike shouted with anger.

"Do not back-sass me, young man!" She shouted pointing at Mike.

"Something is keeping us locked up here, are you too stubborn and stupid to believe what it is!?" Mike shouted, standing up for himself.

"I'm not listening to this childish nonsense of yours, Wazowski! I'm going to fly up there, go on the other side of that wall and show you that we are NOT trapped" she said. Hardscrabble spread her wings and jumped into the air. When she was pretty high in the sky, a snapping noise could be heard and she started falling from the sky and onto the ground in front of the whole class. Everyone screamed, but Mike, Randy, and Prof. Knight ran over towards her body.

"Her neck's been snapped" Knight said while examining the corpse.

"Serves her right" Mike whispered.

"Agreed" Randy said. Knight then looked with a worried face and sweat trickling down his forehead.

"Help! Somebody help us! Faculty down! Get a doctor, nurse, anybody! Help us!" he cried out.

A/N: How was that? Pretty good start? I am a HUGE Stephen King fan by the way, and I like the new show based on one of his books 'Under the Dome', but this one I'm calling 'Inside the Field'. Hope you all liked it! Please review, thanks.
