Saving Playtime.

Summary:

My first ever Poppy Playtime Story, and I got inspired by other works of Poppy Playtime.
This doesn't have anything to do with the former worker/The Player, but someone who never worked there on a small side mission for a Plush Toy, but he will encounter and change his plans, to ensure those who have suffered get out, but first he would have to get through the horrors that lie within.

A total alternate, and not all of the Toys we know from the game are going to live.

Chapter 1: The Guy ready for Playtime

Chapter Text

This is my first ever Poppy Playtime Story, involving my OC from a previous story venturing to the horrors and nightmares, of the most notorious and secretive Toy Factory, where he will encounter the Toys that wait, after so long. I hope you all enjoy reading this new one guys.
Saving Playtime.
“The Guy ready for Playtime.”

(The town of Thebes, Illinois.)

A large black pickup truck is driving around the neighborhood, and stops when some kids run by and head off to play, the man inside smiles seeing this. ‘Kids have to be careful when crossing the street.’ He then continues to drive around this small neighborhood, and he’s looking for something. ‘My brother told me that there could be a possible yard sale here. But where? I wish he gave me actual specific answers on the location.’

The man then spots the yard sale. “There!” He manages to park his truck nearby, and the man comes out. He’s in his late 20’s, and has short brown hair, and tends to wear a jacket or hoodie, and always hauling around a large mountain pack or really big backpack, his name is Neil Spellman and he’s an urban explorer and the middle child to his adopted brothers in the family.

Neil heads to the yard sale, and sees not much folks showed up to this. He looks around and checks out the old stuff, and he can tell that many of this stuff dates back to the 70’s, all the way to the 90’s. ‘Dang, this stuff looks awesome. No freaking way, an album from Black Sabbath, and in pristine condition no doubt!’ But then he remembers something. ‘Oh wait. I already have one.’

So he just looks around some more, for something interesting, and then he sees this large box and he checks inside and is surprised to see some toys inside, well more than just some toys, a whole lot of toys. ‘Now what do we have here?’

Neil picks up one of them, and it’s a blue furry toy with long arms and legs, and red lips with a smile, and he sees the tag and the name. “Huggy Wuggy.” Then he sees a Pink version. “Kissy Missy? What kind of Toys—” He looks to the tag again. “Playtime Co? What the heck is that and how come I never even heard of it?” He then checks the rest of the stuff inside.

He sees some Toys of PJ Pug-a-Pillar, which you can put together and combine with others just like him. A large blush of Bunzo Bunny, some used Playdough called Doey. A plush lion called Yarnaby, and its mane is literally made of lots of yarn, and he seems a little bit dusty. This large toy called Pianosaurus, and the name confuses him, but he chuckles when he sees why. ‘He’s got a mouth that’s a keyboard!’

Neil sees, this action figure inside of its box still called Miss Delight and he reads the back. ‘A Toy that can give you some advanced lessons. Collect all 13 to make your own home school playtime. What the what?’ He sees this small red tape, with the name ‘REJECT TOY’ labeled on it. “Well, this is weird.”

But then he grabs the Mommy Long Legs Action figure, and still in the box and hasn’t been opened, and he reads what this toy is all about. ‘Hmmm, Elastic Plastic? Never heard of this material, and she looks kinda pretty. I’ve seen a lot of vintage toys, but never toys like these. This stuff looks like todays modern toys. Are these really vintage stuff?’

But then he sees this pale white doll with red hair, and he sees the name. “Poppy Playtime.” But he sees how it stars at him. “Sweet Chrysler. No thank you. I’ve seen Scary Videos of haunted stuff, and I don’t need a Doll like this displayed in my home.” He puts the Doll out of the box and leaves it standing on another table with some other random stuff.

Neil then takes a look at the Smiling Critters Plush Set inside, and he sees there are Seven of then and he reads their names. “DogDay, CraftyCorn, PickyPiggy, KickinChicken, Bobby Bearhug, Hoppy Hopscotch, Bubba Bubbaphant? What?” He checks inside again, and sees nothing else. “Huh, well despite being Seven… I think I’ll take these, the whole dang box.”

“Good choice, that stuff has been rotting in my attic for a long, long time and needed to be cleared away.” The owner of the Yard Sale shows up. “Hey there. My name is Pace Walters.” The man has a cast on his right leg, and is using crutches.

That’s when Neil recognizes who this man is. “Wait, wait. You’re the guy who survived that Bus Accident outside of town, right?”

Pace chuckles. “Yeah, that’s me. I came, I saw and I survived, and now, this… This also isn’t the first time I got into an accident. Also, I had to get help from some local teenagers to move my stuff out of here and sell them. This sure has been one hell of a life for me in this town.”

“Dang, you survived so much and still alive. I mean, mad respect and—” Then he realized what he said. “Wait, what? So, this yard sale… You’re moving out of Thebes?”

Pace sighs, and nods. “Yeah, too many bad memories of everything I’ve been through in this town and I just… I need to find someplace else to live in. I’ve been around here since I started working around the 90’s, and I think I need a break from this town, and my bad memories. So, all the stuff from my bad past has to go, and you can take the whole box of toys… For Two hundred bucks.”

“Sold” replied Neil. “But ummm… Not that one.” He points to the Poppy Playtime Doll. “that thing is just wild and creepy to look at.”

Pace chuckles. “Hey, I don’t blame you. Kids back then, they went wild and wanted that kind of doll. Being able to talk and be they’re friend. But now a days, kids see that kind of Doll as something out of a Horror Movie, kinda like Childs Play.” This makes Pace and Neil chuckle. He then checks the stuff in the box. “All of this, I gathered after I lost my job at the Factory, and brought it with me as a souvenir, which I forgot for so long.”

“Didn’t know you worked in a Toy Factory, must have been fun” replied Neil.

“Yeah, it was. Then I tried to figure out what was below the Factory level. But I got too snoopy with everything and was told to leave. I was the same age as you when I started working there” replied Pace. But then he sees the Smiling Critters inside of the box. “Ah, I remember these guys. They were all the rage back then. A shame this is just seven of them.”

That gets Neil’s attention. “Wait, Seven of them? There are more?”

Pace nods, and he explains. “There are eight of them, the eight one being called Catnap, but his toy got recalled on January 3, 1995 because the lavender scent he was supposed to release from his mouth was causing hallucinations and nightmares onto kids. Even when they did recall the toy, the damage has been done. These other ones here, they all don’t have anymore nice scented smoke coming out.”

Neil looks to the Smiling Critter plushies, and he feels like it’s wrong to have an incomplete set. “Sir, where did you work again?”

Pace chuckles, and he knows where this is going. “Alright then. On the other side of town, there is a large forest. If you take the pathway that has been hidden for some reason, then it will lead you to where I used to work. The Toy Factory called, Playtime Co. I don’t know, but there might be some Catnap Plush toys somewhere there, in good condition if you want. But, are you sure you want to do this?”

Neil has a look of determination. “Sir. My name is Neil Spellman, and I’m an Urban Explorer and have been doing this for five years, and have been through many tough situations and even went to Japan and explored their abandoned and haunted places. Surely, an abandoned Toy Factory is no challenge for me.”

Pace smiles, and he can feel the courage and strength this man has. “Very well then, but be careful. It’s an old Factory and I don’t know if it could still be standing. I don’t even know if the Company is even around, or if they even bothered to check their factory that was abandoned. The day it shut down, I was sick and couldn’t make it to work. I still don’t know why it closed down on August 8 1995.”

Hearing that, has got Neil curious. So, he pays Pace and heads back to his Truck with the box of toys and he drives off. Pace sits on the chair and continues to watch over his Yard sale, but then he remembers something back then, ten years after the closing of Playtime.

‘I swear, I think someone sent something to me in the mail, but I couldn’t get to it because the storm blew away my mailbox. Whatever was in that mail, I hope it wasn’t important.’ He doesn’t notice, the contents from his mailbox is located, on the roof of his house, stuck and covered in dirt, mud and dried leaves, a VHS Tape, and a letter.

(The Following Day.)

A local Japanese Hobby Store opens, and Neil comes out with his purchase. ‘Finally. Took them so long, but I now have it. The Real Grade RX-78-2 2.0 Gundam. Maybe next time they might have the Real Grade Shining Gundam. I can assemble this back at home, once I’m done exploring.’

Neil heads back to his truck, and he accidentally places his purchase into his mountain pack, and he packed a lot of food, mostly sandwiches, and some nuts and water and juice packs. He then goes into his truck and he starts the engine and he drive off to his next location to explore.

‘Alright, I did my research, and yet there is no further information on explaining why this Toy Factory shut down. Something doesn’t smell right here, and I think I’ll be finding more than just a Catnap Plush once I get there. Time to visit Playtime.’ He continues to drive off, and doesn’t notice a car driving by him, with a moving truck following.

(somewhere outside of Thebes.)

Neil’s truck shows up near the woods. “This is the forest. But, where would the pathway be?” Neil then looks around, but he doesn’t leave his truck, and then he does see something, odd. A broken part from a Fence. “And there’s my clue.” Thankfully, his truck is an all-terrain vehicle and he enters the woods, and bypasses the trees.

He does notice, the trees are far apart, and he looks to the path ahead, and he looks closely and he can tell that the grass is not fully populating the path, which means this is the dirt path, the secret path towards the Factory, and yet this makes Neil curious. ‘Why would they make the pathway to the factory a secret? What is this factory hiding?’

Neil continues the long drive through the woods, and then he stops and sees it, a busted gate and it’s slightly open. Neil pushes a button, and his truck deploys a spiked ram, which he also deploys the snow plow. “The guy said, that this Factory is forgotten, and obviously nobody has been here in years. So, I don’t think this counts as trespassing if I just do this!”

Neil floors it, and his truck breaks down the broken gate way too easy, and the rest of the gate flies off and hits some other stuff, and then he stops his truck and looks to the Factory. Neil stops his truck, and he leaves the vehicle and sees that he has arrived. “This is it. Playtime Co. Factory.” He grabs his mountain pack, unaware of the other stuff he may have accidentally put in there.

Neil walks towards the Factory and he sees the place looks old, ruined and plants growing on the outside, and some grass all over the place. ‘Damn, this place has seen better days. This is a clear sign, that nobody has ever bothered to come here, and fix the place up. Which means, this is my chance, to venture inside, and find what I seek.’

Neil looks to the photo in his pocket, the photo of the Catnap Plush he’s looking for, and so he goes into the Factory entrance, and thankfully the door is slightly open, and he goes into the Factory, unaware of the horrors, nightmares and monsters in store for him.

To be continued…
A/N: My first ever Poppy Playtime Story, and all inspired from several work from AO3, and so it’s time for my OC to enter, and search for the Plush, or… Change his plans, and save those who have suffered. I hope you guys enjoyed reading this.

Chapter 2: A Tight Squeeze

Chapter Text

And now the time has come, for Poppy Playtime Chapter 1, an encounter with a big blue creature, and finding mysteries and other stuff that are just cryptic, and ominous. A total change from the game, where our fave big blue monster doesn’t face his end. I hope you all enjoy reading this new one guys.
Saving Playtime.
“A Tight Squeeze.”

Venturing into the darkness, and going down the halls, is Neil Spellman with a mission to find a Catnap Plush, and to complete his collection of the Smiling Critters, and he just walks through the ruined structure, and sees the damages this place has sustained for not being cared for or tended to.

Neil then sees the pathway, or hallway which leads to the main lobby. “Wish this place had a map, maybe I can find one and it’ll help me.” Neil then stops, and he turns on the flashlight on his right shoulder, and he sees a switch to his left, and out of curiosity he flips it.

The lights turn on, and then he sees it leads to a room, and he is surprised. “Wow! The light in here still works, which means it must be running on generators that haven’t been touched. Dang, they knew how to preserve power with old tech.” Neil enters the room, it’s the lobby with the receptionist’s desk, and he looks around. He can see the old computer and a large painting on the wall of Huggy Wuggy, but it looks old and faded.

“This place has seen better days. I wonder if there are any posters around here I can bring back.” Neil then stops and sees, what looks like a green VHS Tape, and it still look in good condition. “Now what is this?” Then he stops and sees a VCR, and it is connected to the TV which is hanging from the corner of the wall above.

Neil thinks about this. “I doubt this would still work.” Neil goes to the VCR and he checks it. “Wait, this thing still works?!” Neil takes the VHS and he puts it inside, and the TV plays. “Holy smokes. This stuff still works!” Instead of a video, he hears a voice, it’s an audio recorded VHS Tape.

“Hi. My name is Leith Pierre and I'm the Head of Innovation here at the Playtime Co. toy factory. If you're seeing this, then you're trespassing. Yeah, we play this little tape on loop whenever we close the factory for the day. So, trespasser, just to make you aware, while we pride ourselves primarily on our high-quality toys and excellent childcare, we also pride ourselves on our security.”

“For example, this facility is full of hidden motion triggers which, once set off, will turn on the factory's emergency alarms and directly contact the authorities! And that's one of the more tame aspects of our security system. No spoilers! So, you've got my warning. It's not too late to turn around. I just hope you're certain whatever you're doing is worth it.”

Neil remains silent. “Wow. They left this Green Tape out here for anyone trespassing? Effective, well not really. Still, one thing’s for sure… This place is abandoned, and I am not trespassing if there is no one around to bother with this place. So, let’s see where to go to next. There’s gotta be a storage area where they put all the Toys. But where?”

Neil does spot, the Gift Shop and he goes in there. He looks around, and he finds nothing of the sort. There doesn’t seem to be much toys, but he sees some broken ones on the ground, and some scratch marks. “Weird. Maybe there’s an animal nearby hiding here.” Neil then looks up and sees this large toy train going around in a circle above him. “Huh.”

He does see, the train has a color pattern. Green, Pink, Yellow, Red. Neil then leaves the Gift Shop, and he spots the Security Room. Curious, he goes there and sees the color pad, and he recalls the train and pushes the colors Green, Pink, Yellow and Red. The door opens, and he is surprised by this. “Wow. My other idea was to keep clicking on purple… Or breaking it to override.”

Neil goes into the Security Room, and he looks around the place. “Jeez, the Company should have salvaged whatever stuff they left behind here before they closed the doors. Literally everything here is still working. Wait, what’s that?” Neil finds a dark blue VHS Tape. He does see the VCR and TV and so he places it in, and it gives instructions on this item called, the Grabpack.

Neil reads the instructions on the TV screen. “Tighten the straps. Hold both cannons. Pull trigger to Fire - Pull again to retract - Hold to grip onto object. ONLY fire at small objects/handles. Do NOT fire at a coworker. This may cause injury. Wire is conductive! Use for rewiring.” Neil remains silent, then the small door near the TV opens and the Grabpack is revealed.

Neil is still surprised by what he read. “Alright, so this could’ve been useful for old folks of this day who can’t move around… Sweet mother of chocolate, what is wrong with this Company.” Neil goes to the Grabpack and he picks it up, and puts it onto his backpack, and he straps it in, but then he notices something. “Wait, there’s only a blue hand here? What the heck? Defective?”

Neil leaves the security room, and he returns to the receptionist’s area, and then he sees the door he can’t open, but he sees the blue hand print on it, and he now sees what this means. “Alright, here we go!” He fires the blue hand, and it attaches to the blue hand pad, and it gets scanned. “Huh, that worked. Seriously, why didn’t they just have this mass produced for elderly folks who can’t move?”

The scan is complete, and the door opens, and so Neil enters and is surprised to see, something standing and with one hand waving, blue fur, and red smiling lips. “Whoa! Huggy Wuggy?!” Neil goes closer, and he sees the large statue of Huggy Wuggy. “Wow. This Company really did invest to make this place look incredible, and sweet jeez you are tall big fella!”

Neil walks around Huggy and he is impressed. “Good condition for a large statue with fur. Dang, this place made some good statues and—” He does look around, and it seems to be messy in the main lobby. “Something happened here… Or, some folks came here before me and raided the place. I mean, that would explain the busted gate.”

Neil then looks around, he sees the cafeteria and then a room which needs a red and blue hand, which he only has the blue hand. “Now where can I get a—” He then sees another door, which is Power. He goes over, and tries to open it, but it’s locked. “Maybe I can break this down and—” Then he sees a room, which needs only a blue hand. “Alright, second times the charm!”

Neil fires the Grabpack and the blue hand sticks and scans, but the door short circuits, and it sends some sparks flying and so he backs up. “Alright, so second times don’t always work, and damn that was close—” But then he hears a jingling sound, and he turns around and looks to the Huggy Wuggy statue, and he looks to the hand waving is still in place, but now there’s a key on the thumb.

“Okay… Was that always there?” Neil then looks to the lifeless face of the statue. “Hope you ain’t playing tricks with me big guy.” Neil looks to the Grabpack, and he fires the hand, and grabs the key. “Wait, could this open the room?” Neil manages to open the power room, and he goes inside.

Neil then sees, the place is empty with a few lights on, and he goes to the nearby lockers, and sees nothing else. But he sees one, what looks like a large door with hand prints, and he manages to open it, and he backs away seeing the high voltage power source. “What in the heck is this? Wait, a power source perhaps?”

Neil recalls, what the Grabpack was meant for. “Alright, time to see if this thing will work, or possibly fry me.” He fires the blue hand, it connects and he sees it’s now generating power, and containing it with the extended wire, and he chooses not to touch the wire of the extended hand.

“Alright, I got some power. Now, where the hell do I connect this—Thing?” He sees, this large metallic coil standing, and so he walks around it, and it turns on and glows. He sees the electrified cable has made contact, and charged it up and now he knows how this works. “Oh, very innovative indeed. Why the hell are they making toys when they could be helping with people’s normal lives?”

Neil spots the same standing metal coil, and he goes over, and walks around it, the cable extends and touches the coil and it also charges up, and now there is power in the area. “Ha! I freaking did it! Yeah, that was… Not so hard, okay maybe a little.”

Neil then retracts the blue hand back, and it’s back to normal. “This is by far something the world could use at reactor plants without even making problems. They really should’ve mass produced these things because they are useful.” Neil heads back to the main lobby.

But then he stops and notices, something is missing. He walks forward and sees, Huggy Wuggy is gone. Neil remains silent, and shocked and he looks around. “Okay… So, there must be someone here, fucking with me….” So, he calls out. “Alright, whoever you are. This is not funny anymore! You can come out now, whoever you are!” But no response, and he realized something.

I would’ve heard footsteps even when I was in the other room. So, where the hell is Huggy Wuggy?’ Neil then looks around some more, and he just decides to leave it be, and he uses the blue hand on the door that short circuited and he manages to get it to open. “Woohoo! It worked! Thank goodness.”

Neil then sees the sign. “Make-a-Friend. What?” But then he sees one of the doors, has a large blue furry arm sticking out with a yellow hand, and then it goes inside, and he races towards it and opens the door, and sees nothing. ‘Okay, well… This is getting kinda creepy. Maybe someone is using the statue as some kind of big puppet?’ Neil then goes through the door, and down the hallway, and he sees another room.

Neil enters, and it looks like the storage or shipping room. “This must be where they package the products.” Then he spots a Yellow VCR, and TV, but no VHS Tape, and so he takes the stairs and goes up to the catwalk, and he sees a large claw above, like something from a claw machine, or crane game, and this annoys Neil. “Are you serious right now? I’m terrible at crane games!”

Neil then sees, the Red Hand inside of a glass display case, and he now sees, he needs to get it with the crane claw. He sees the control panel, but the color codes and missing battery symbols. “Well, that’s just… Oh hey, here’s one of them.” Neil picks up the blue battery and it is large. “Dang, this could keep my truck powered for a long time.”

Neil heads back down, to look for the rest of the batteries, and he does find the rest of the batteries, but then he stops and sees the Yellow VHS Tape. “There you are. Now to see what this has inside.” Neil goes back to the yellow VCR and TV screen, and he plays what has been recorded, and once again it’s an audio recording of two people named Rich and Avery.

Avery. “Ugh, Rich, where are they keeping the Huggy boxes?”

Rich. Scoffing sound. “I don't know, I couldn't tell you. Remember when maintenance last did a sweep of this place?”

Avery. “No.”

Rich. “Exactly, nobody in this stupid company knows what they're doing. Aw, I swear, I haven't seen a single box in its place since they started flooding the storehouse with orphanage junk.

Avery. “Right...”

Rich. “I get it, it's a nice program and all, on-brand, but…” Sighs. “It's just hard to be happy about it when manufacturing is on OUR NECKS about it, cause we can't find the stupid Huggy boxes!”

Avery. “Rich...”

Rich sighs. “You're right, you're right. It's... It's for the orphans... I just wish there were less boxes Anything less would be more abidable. Is- is that even a word? Abidable?”

Neil remains silent. “Wait, wait. Orphans? What the heck is going on here? Are they donating stuff to an orphanage or… Is something else going on here?” Neil then walks back to the catwalk, still confused by what he heard, and he plugs in the batteries, and the power is back on in the storage warehouse room. “There we go, now we got some electric charge tonight.”

Then he sees the crane claw move, but then it stops and breaks down, and the glass display case falls onto the ground and breaks open. “Oh snap.” Neil takes the catwalk, and he makes it to the conveyer belt system, and he sees the Red Grabpack hand is fine. Neil attaches it to the right hand and he smirks. “Now I got red and blue… Which is weird because this is usually a rival color in social media and stuff.”

Neil sees the door, that needs both hands to open, and he fires both hands and they get scanned. Neil then hears something, and he slowly looks to the right, and sees at the top of the wall far from him, the vent is open and he sees the face of Huggy Wuggy looking at him with a toothy smile.

Neil and Huggy make eye contact for a long while, and as soon as the door opens, Huggy disappears back into the vent, and this surprises Neil. He blinks and looks back. “What in the hell is going on here? Am I seeing things?” Neil decides to leave it be, but now he’s being cautious about his surroundings, and he makes his way down this ventilation shaft.

Neil does manage to find another power source, and he reroutes the power to the power outlet back outside, and that means there is now power within another area, and the gateway from within the ventilation system is now open, and he can pass through, but he does hear some sounds of stuff being dropped, almost like the factory is coming back to life.

‘Wait, so does that mean there’s gonna be smoke coming out from the smoke stacks outside?’ Neil makes it down the vents, and he sees, he’s in another room. “Wow.” But then he sees the machine, and the sign. “Wait, this is the room. Make-a-Friend room. Wow, and… What?” He sees the gate, and what it says. “Nobody leaves without a toy.” He sees it can’t be opened, but there is a scanning machine.

He then looks to the machine which looks like it makes toys. “Oh, I get it now.” Neil then looks around for something to turn the machine back on, to make a friend, er toy.

Neil sees the flight of stairs and he takes it, and he can see another VCR and TV here. “Why the heck is this even up here and—” Then he sees something, the pink VHS which is beneath him. “Huh, convenient.”

Neil puts the VHS in, and he hears another audio record log. It’s an interview for someone to join the Company, and her name is Stella Greyber. Hearing this interview, makes him wonder more about the staff and what else is going on. “Well, she sounds nice.” Then Neil sees how the power can be restored, just like back in the Power Room.

“Alright, just gotta connect the source to those power poles, and then the receiver and this place will be up and running!” Neil does exactly that, and with no trouble or getting confused, he figured out the previous one and this one seems to be something he can figure out, and the whole place is back online and the machine is operational again.

Neil heads back down, and he heads to the machine which makes the toy, er friend. Neil turns the power on, and the sounds of a train is heard, and the machines eyes open and Neil is surprised.

“Wow. They really did make this place impressive, and also… Kinda creepy.” Neil then sees the three levers, and he flips them down to bring the parts to the machine.

Neil waits, and watches as the machine goes to work, and he does walk around a bit and notices the eyes of this Make-a-Friend Machine are following him, and it makes him feel uncomfortable, and it feels like the eyes of an animatronic following him or something. ‘They should’ve been making machines for rides and amusement parks.’

Neil then sees, the Toy is done and he waits at the Conveyer Belt and sees what it is. A Cat Bee Hybrid toy, named Cat-Bee. “Wow. I don’t know what this is… But I am keeping, wait…”

He then brings the toy to the scanner, and it works. The door opens. “Thank you Cat-Bee.” He does find a box to carry the toy with and he goes through the door and heads into the dark hallway.

But then, someone appears from the dark hall, and he backs up and sees it’s a walking Huggy Wuggy and the tall creature walks towards him with a smiling mouth filled with teeth. “What in the hell? Huggy?” The monster looks to Neil and growls and keeps walking. Neil heads back to Make-a-Friend and he keeps backing up, and tries to find some way to outrun Huggy Wuggy.

But he notices, Huggy is still following him. “What in the hell is going on here?!” Neil then hears the security alarm, and he sees a door open, leading to the conveyer belts system, and he goes inside. Neil panics, and he goes down another hall with conveyer belts, and then another door shuts, and another one opens for him to run through.

But then he stops, when he hears something coming towards him, and he turns around and sees Huggy Wuggy squeezing through, and chasing him. This makes Neil scream and he keeps on running, and running, to avoid the large blue creature. “What the heck are you doing chasing me?!” Neil keeps on running, trying to find some way to escape the beast chasing him.

Neil does pass by some painted words on the wall, and they all say. “Never Forget the Hour of Joy.”

Neil does look back for a brief moment, and he slips and yells as he goes down a slide conveyer belt, and he is now out of the conveyer ventilation shafts, and his Grabpack triggers, and a large box above him is grabbed and it comes down. Neil sees this coming, and so he rolls out of the way, but Huggy shows up from the gate, and he is struck by the box, and the catwalk falls beneath them and they both fall.

Neil and Huggy Wuggy hit the second cat walk which is now breaking and the box lands down and breaks that catwalk too, and now both are falling again with Huggy screaming in fear, but Neil uses the red hand to hold onto another catwalk, and he sees Huggy falling, and he uses the blue hand to grab his yellow hand and keeps him from falling into the dark abyss below.

Huggy Wuggy stops screaming, and is shocked. He sees, his yellow hand is holding the blue hand, and he looks to Neil who is panicked and concerned. “I got you! Hold on big guy! I’m gonna try and pull us both up. Alright?! You understand me?” Huggy for some reason, nods.

Neil then uses the red hand, to pull them both onto the catwalk, and they both manage to climb the rails and sit onto the catwalk, and catch their breath. “That was… Intense… Also, scary… First time for me… To almost fall, and die… Wow.”

Neil then realizes, he just saved the creature that chased him, and so he looks to Huggy but instead Huggy Wuggy hugs him, and he can feel him shivering and whimpering. So, Neil hugs him back and rubs his back. “Hey, calm down bud. It’s over now, and I’m sorry that happened. My Grabpack triggered, and that box came down and caused it. We’re fine now.”

Neil does notice, Huggy’s fur is a little dusty, and he can see some damages on him. They depart from the hug, and Neil opens his backpack and he grabs a medical kit, and so Huggy kneels down, and he watches as Neil places some bandages onto some of his cuts.

“I guess squeezing into those tight spaces is not a good idea big guy.” Neil does notice, some blood from the cuts, indicating that Huggy Wuggy is not an ordinary living statue. This means, he is an actual living breathing Huggy Wuggy.

Neil finishes patching him up, and then Neil grabs two sandwiches, and hands them to Huggy. “These are both ham, go ahead.” Huggy is surprised, and he takes both sandwiches and he eats them fast, and Neil can see that he is very hungry. Neil grabs one of the water bottles, and he mixes the juice inside, and he hands it to Huggy, and he drinks all the orange juice water.

Huggy Wuggy calms down, and he sighs in relief. Neil then offers him a hand. “My name is Neil Spellman. Nice to meet ya, Huggy Wuggy.” Huggy stands up and shakes his hand. “Look, I don’t know what’s going on here, and I don’t know how you’re alive. But, I came here to explore and see what’s going on, and also look for something. You can come along with me if you want.”

Huggy nods, and then Neil asks. “Can you talk?” He shakes his head. “But you can understand me, right? Huggy nods. “Hmmm, interesting. Well, at least you can understand me. But I gotta know… How are you alive?” Huggy just shrugs, and now Neil can see, that Huggy Wuggy is alive, but doesn’t know how or why, that is something he might run into.

Neil and Huggy leave the catwalk, and they do so brisk walking since they are afraid of the catwalk breaking beneath them. But then they have to walk onto another catwalk, and Neil looks to Huggy.

“Calm down, let’s not look down and focus on… What are you looking at?” Neil then sees Huggy pointing, to this door and around it is a large painting of a red flower. “What the heck is that?”

Neil and Huggy continue their walk, and then he sees this black VHS Tape, and now both are curious. Neil picks it up, and Huggy points to he black VCR not too far, and the TV. They go over, and Neil puts it in, and it plays another audio log.

“Final log. In relation: 1006. The Prototype. Coordination and cooperation is evidently within his skillset, as well as the skillset of the other experiments of his type. Though still missing, today's events are no doubt in relation to him. His absence was a flaw in the scientific process, which should have under no circumstances been left unaccounted for.”

Pounding and screams can be heard in the background.

“Any future experiments will need to be contained and disposed of in a secure location. I'm not worried about myself. One breakthrough and I'll be back. We must forge onward in the name of science, whether those who are beneath us understand it or not! End of—”

The VCR is destroyed by Huggy and he throws it away, but he calms down and looks nervous again. Neil remains silent. “I’m not gonna ask anymore about what happened, and we’ll keep this between ourselves, alright big guy?” Huggy nods, and so Neil hugs him and he hugs back. Neil can tell, this could be the one thing to comfort the big blue tall toy.

Neil is confused why Huggy acted like that from hearing the VHS recording. ‘What the heck is this Experiment 1006? What is the Prototype? What the heck is going on? And how the heck is Huggy Wuggy even alive?’

Neil and Huggy break their embrace, and head to the door that leads through the red flower. But he sees the toys that have been hanged outside, and the danger signs. “Do you know about this?”

Huggy shrugs, and so Neil opens the door, and they go inside and it’s a hallway, like what you would see in a normal house. “Okay, now this is getting weird… Love the color of this wallpaper though.”

Neil and Huggy continue onward together, and they see the wardrobe, small dollhouse, and then they see another hallway, and then another one and it all looks like the theme to an old house. Then, there is a hallway where the lights are red colored. “I’m getting The Shining Vibes.”

Huggy Wuggy is confused by what Neil had said, and doesn’t even know what he’s talking about.

So, Neil goes to open the door, but Huggy opens it for him. “Thanks big guy and—What the heck?” They both see, at the middle of this red lighted room, is a display case and inside is a Poppy Playtime Doll, trapped and with its eyes closed.

Huggy is wide eyed, and now he remembers what this room is all about. Neil sighs, and he goes closer. “Please don’t come to life too.” Neil opens the glass case, and he backs away, and then the eyes of the doll open, and she looks to Neil and Huggy directly, but she focuses on the human who is shocked, and then she speaks.

“You opened my case…” This makes Neil scream from the sight of the Living Poppy Playtime Doll, and she panics and screams too, and Huggy goes along and screams for some reason, and then Neil passes out.

To be continued…
A/N: He met Huggy and seems to have befriended him, and now the case has been opened, and the real fun begins. I hope you guys enjoyed reading this.

Chapter 3: Fly in the Web

Chapter Text

And now for what we have been waiting for, trying to get explanations from Poppy, and an encounter with someone whom Neil would not have expected to meet, and the start of the Games that will be his trial to escape, or find something else instead. I hope you all enjoy reading this new one guys.
Saving Playtime.
“Fly in the Web.”

Everything is dark, and all of a sudden, he blinks and he opens his eyes. “W-What happened?” Neil Spellman awakens, and he sees, he’s in the same room where he opened the case but the red lights are no more. “Wait, wait… So, that wasn’t a dream?”

He turns to his left, and he sees the smile of Huggy Wuggy, he sits next to him and checks if he’s fine. “Huh, so that wasn’t a dream. Hey there, big guy.”

Huggy Wuggy nods, and then embraces him, and this makes Neil chuckle and hug him back. “Thanks Huggy, always the huggable big blue furry fella.” They then depart from the hug, and he looks around and sees Poppy Playtime is gone. “Ummm, what the heck happened after I blacked out?”

Huggy just looks at Neil, and then he recalls something about Huggy Wuggy. “Right, you’re not a talker. Forgot about that one.” He then grabs the Grabpack and puts it on, and his backpack. “Alright, so let’s find that missing Poppy Playtime Doll thing. I swear, this Factory is full of surprises and scary mysteries.”

Neil and Huggy get back up, but then they hear someone call out from somewhere. “This way…” This startles them and they look around, and the sound is gone.

Neil and Huggy go back down the hallway where they came from, and they stop near the wardrobe and Huggy points to this door, which they never noticed. “Huh, weird. Alrighty then. Let’s go Huggy, and find Poppy.” They both open the door, and head on through to look for the runaway living Poppy Doll.

Neil and Huggy go down through this hallway, and it is large. “Wow. This Factory is bigger than I expected, but then again we did go down.” He spots on the wall a mural of Huggy Wuggy, and another of this large red dinosaur, known as Bron.

Then they see it, a door and the name on top. “Elliot Ludwig? Wait, that name. I recall seeing it a few times when I saw you, the founder of Playtime, right?” Huggy Wuggy nods, and they open the door but it’s locked. “Okay, I guess we need a key, but where?”

They do see a third door, and they see the ditch at the bottom, which means the hallway is broken. “Well, this looks bad. Perhaps the Grabpack can help—Huggy?” He sees Huggy Wuggy come back, and now he’s wearing a Grabpack. “Did you find that when we were walking here?”

Huggy Wuggy nods, and he grabs Neil and uses the Grabpack hands to grab the bar above, and they swing over the hole and reach the other end of the hallway, and this surprises Neil.

“Wow. That was a fun ride, thanks buddy!” Huggy Wuggy nods, and they keep going down the hall, and see a door barred up, but they see a large cutout of Huggy Wuggy, and a button that can be pushed.

Neil looks to Huggy and then the cutout. “Hmmm, I’m gonna push it. Bop.”

“[Goofy Huggy Wuggy laughter]”
"Does someone need a huuug?"
"Gimmie a biiig squeeze."
"I promise I won't bite."
"Come closer, friend."
"I'll squeeze you until you..."

The rest becomes static, and then Neil looks to Huggy. “Is that supposed to be your voice?” Huggy shrugs and feels kinda embarrassed. “Don’t worry big guy. I ain’t one to judge the way you sound, or if you do wanna talk.” They then see some barrels blocking a door, and so Neil and Huggy use their arms to remove the barrels, and not use the Grabpacks.

They open the door, and right there on the wall is a large key with a poppy flower symbol. “Oh wow. Weird, and this might help open the door.” Neil grabs the key, and both Neil and Huggy Wuggy head back to the office door, and they do swing again since it was pretty fun.

The duo arrive to the door, and Neil uses the key, and the door is now unlocked. They both go inside to see the office still looks fine. “Huh, you could really setup a good place to stay here.” He sees drawings from kids, and even this trophy of a flower figure and this confuses Neil.

Huggy then points to a VCR, and even picks up a VHS and hands it to Neil. “Thanks big guy. Let’s see what’s inside of this thing.” Neil puts the tape into the VCR and they watch, the documentary of the origin of the factory. 

Playtime Co. is the product of a great man named, 'Elliot Ludwig' Divorced, but a family man at heart.

His sights were always set on bringing amazing toys to amazing children around the globe.

Ludwig spent countless hours in the factory, working overtime relentlessly in an attempt to continuously innovate and surprise.

In the 1960's, an unfortunate family death had pushed Ludwig down to his lowest.

But with so much ambition, he rose back up and continued to fulfill his vision for the Playtime Co. toy factory. Ludwig could never be content leaving a project unfinished.

But just how did one man come to create such an astounding empire?

How did he manage to stay determined even after suffering such a tragic loss?

It all began in the fateful year of 19-

Neil is confused by the end, and why it didn’t continue. But then he sees the note on the table, and he sees it’s a document, about Experiment 814.

A rat was fed 3 portions of food every day for 2 weeks before being killed and submerged in a gel mixture made from poppy flowers. 1 week later, an electric shock was applied to the rat in a revival attempt. However, it did not spring back to life.

Neil is surprised to hear this. “What in the hell? Wait, wait…” He then looks to Huggy. The big blue toy is confused, and so Neil shrugs it off, and doesn’t think of such, and yet he feels like this is how Huggy possibly came to be, if he could figure out what Huggy was before he was this giant living toy.

Huggy then points to a loose vent, and so Neil brings it down, and the duo keep walking through, and pass by some red lights, and this is feeling kinda cramped, but they still keep going. They even hear the same voice whispering from somewhere. “Keep going.”

This alarms Neil. “Hey Huggy, are there ghosts down here?” Huggy shrugs. “Good to know.” They just continue their journey into the ventilation shaft, and being cautious about what else might be lurking here. Neil knows that Huggy has more knowledge of this factory, but with his inability to speak, he might not get any answers from him.

They soon enter an enclosed room, and they look around, but then a box falls and this startles Neil and Huggy, and they both look up, and there she is, Poppy Playtime. “Oh! Uh, sorry! I didn't mean to scare you. I was just... trying to get the power back on! Here.” She steps aside, and Neil sees the power source and he knows what this means.

So, he uses the blue hand to connect, and he walks around the power rods and then uses the red hand to connect to the outlet, and the power is back on and the door opens. They then look to Poppy who claps and is happy that he solved the puzzle.

“Ahem. Um, I wanted to thank you for freeing me. I was stuck in there for so long! Thank you. I'd like to pay you back.” She then heads into the vent before Neil can talk, and he sighs. But then they hear Poppy speak from the vents. “There is a train station nearby. It needs a code, and I have it. We're gonna get out of here.”

Neil and Huggy look around for her, and Poppy reappears from the bigger vent, startling Neil a bit. “Sweet Cheese and Crackers. Stop doing that!” Huggy offers a hug, and he hugs Neil from behind and lifts him up a bit. “Thanks big guy.” He then puts him down and departs from the hug.

“Sorry, also why is Huggy with you?” asked Poppy.

Neil chuckles, and Huggy looks nervous. “I guess you can say, we had a close call encounter with each other, he chased me and now, we’re friends after I saved his life. Right big guy?” Neil shows him his fist, and so Huggy fist bumps him, and they high five.

Poppy is surprised. “Odd, and fascinating. But anyway, come on up here, now.” Neil sighs, and he uses the Grabpack and so does Huggy, and they pull themselves up into the large ventilation shaft. They manage to make their way back up into Elliot Ludwig’s office.

“Why the heck are we back here—”

Then Poppy appears from the vent. “Hey, I'm up here! I see you...!” She does this playful laugh which almost sounds kinda creepy. “I should be able to follow you through the vents. This way!”

This makes Neil unsettled. “Huggy, if something happens… Can you please eat her?” Huggy is surprised he would ask that, and so they head out of the office, and see the next door, and it is barred up by a gate, and it needs the red and blue hand, and so Neil does that, and the door slowly opens. “This Factory is just full of surprises, but that doll coming to life is on a whole new level of creepy.”

They both go down the hall, and see the large hole gap and it leads deep below. “what the heck caused this damage? But then again, this place is old and—Whoa!” Huggy grabs Neil and uses his Grabpack to swing them to the other side, and they land safely.

“Wow! That was cool, Huggy and also thanks. Also kinda scary, like an amusement park ride.” Neil and Huggy see the door, and a poster of CatBee, and he sees it’s in good condition, and so Neil manages to remove it from the wall carefully, and he rolls it up and puts it into his backpack.

Huggy is confused by this, and Neil looks to him and explains. “I’m not gonna turn away a good condition poster of the Toy I made and… Wait, where the heck is CatBee?” Huggy also realizes, the Toy Friend he made, is gone and so he does this hand signal, and Neil just takes a guess.

“He’s back at Make-a-Friend, isn’t she?” Huggy nods, and Neil sighs. “Yeah, that makes sense. I guess I dropped her. Well, once we make it back to the surface, we can pick her up along the way.” But Neil sees, a CatBee on the ground, but broken and with red smeared dry stains, and they almost look like… Blood.

Neil is confused, and so he opens the door and both Neil and Huggy go inside. They see this large hole in the ground, and Poppy is there. “Poppy, there you are.”

Poppy turns around and speaks to Neil. “Listen. I'm going to need you to trust me—” She then screams as something grabs her and drags her down the hole.

Neil remains silent. Huggy is shocked, and looks to Neil, and then he just claps which confuses Huggy. “Now that was a good magic trick, Poppy.”

He then stops clapping. Then silence remains, then he asks. “that wasn’t a magic trick was it?” Huggy sighs, and shakes his head. “Oh boy. Alright, looks like we’re going after our ride outta here. Let’s go big guy.”

Huggy grabs Neil. “What are you doing?” Then he realizes what Huggy is gonna do. “Wait, wait. Huggy, what—” Huggy jumps into the hole and Neil screams, but then he stops and realizes, they’re going down a slide, and so Huggy let’s go and they both raise their arms and cheer.

“This is awesome!” They can see some lights revealing that they are going down a blue slide tube, and they make it out and land safely. “Nailed it!” They then turn around and see the slide, and it is one of three slides.

“This slide we took, is from Elliot Ludwig, and this one is for Stella Greyber and the other one for Leith Pierre. Wow. This is how they go around the factory? That’s kinda fun and awesome!”

Huggy chuckles, and they turn around and see the large doors, and the name on top. “the Game Station, just like what Poppy said, and whatever, or whoever took her, must be in—Huggy, the hand that grabbed Poppy… Was it Pink?” Huggy nods, and Neil is wide eyed and surprised. “No way, no freaking way!”

Huggy then goes to the Power Room, and Neil follows and he watches as Huggy uses his Grabpack to the power source, around the power poles, and then connect with the outlet, to get the gate open. “Dang, nice one Huggy!” Huggy smiles and nods. The gate opens, and they both walk through.

They go through the hall, and see the Game Station sign. “Hey Huggy, is there something else we have to deal with?” Neil uses the red hand onto the scanner of the door ahead of them. “Because I feel like—”

Then the red hand is grabbed, and a female motherly voice is heard, and she gasps. “A New Playmate!” The red hand is ripped off, and now Neil’s Grabpack only has a blue hand. They both look up, though Huggy growls and is on the defensive, and ready to fight back.

But Neil looks in awe, as Mommy Long Legs reveals herself, a large living Mommy Long Legs is above them and using her right arm and legs to keep herself clinging to the wall, and she looks down towards Neil. “It’s been so long. Isn’t this exciting Poppy?”

She reveals a webbed-up Poppy on her left hand, and pretends to make her talk like a puppet. “Very exciting Mommy!” But Poppy struggles, and can’t break free from the webs. Huggy didn’t like this, but Neil is still baffled and in awe.

Mommy Long Legs notices Huggy Wuggy is here. “Odd to see the Guard dog down here.” Huggy snarls and growls and shrieks, and this makes Mommy Long Legs giggle. “Now, now. Play nice, and be a good little Lobby Guard Dog.” This just annoys Huggy, and he notices Neil putting the Grabpack down, and his backpack.

Mommy Long Legs then speaks to Neil. “Mommy heard that Ms. Poppy was going to just give you the Train code to escape. Now how is that fun? Instead, why don't we make a game out of it? The Game Station is still working. It will be just like old times” Then she tries to mimic Poppy to make her speak.

“And if you win all three games, I'll give you the Train code!” This makes Mommy Long Legs smile. “Mommy loves that idea, Popp—” She looks to Neil and he hands her two wrapped-up Ham Sandwiches. “W-What is this?”

“A Sandwiches” replied Neil. “I thought you could use one. I gave two to Huggy earlier, and I think you might need—” Mommy Long Legs takes the sandwiches, and she eats the two sandwiches like she hasn’t eaten in years, and she feels like her hunger has been satisfied, sorta. “Need some juice?” Neil hands her the bottle, and she takes it and drinks it all.

Huggy is surprised by what Neil is doing, and then Mommy Long Legs sees Neil grab something else from his backpack, and he shows her the Mommy Long Legs Action Figure still in the box, and hands her a marker. “This is something I wanna take the chance, and so… Can you sign this please?”

Silence remains. Poppy is shocked, and so is Huggy with his mouth agape, and he looks to Mommy Long Legs. She blinks and is confused. “Alright.” Mommy Long Legs takes the marker, and she signs her name at the back of the box. She hands the marker back, and Neil puts the action figure away.

“Thanks, and I have to say, you look amazing and incredible. I mean, you’re real! You’re actually real! Just like Huggy! Wait, that would mean, there are others who are also real! I mean, I have seen the Poppy Playtime Doll from the yard sale, and I didn’t buy it because it’s a creepy looking little thing, but you are by far something I didn’t see coming! You are real! Mommy Long Legs is freaking real!”

This makes the three toys silent, and then Mommy Long Legs asks. “Who are you?”

“Oh, pardon me, where are my manners?” Neil dusts himself off a bit, and he offers his hand to shake. “My name is Neil Spellman, and I am an urban explorer.”

Huggy looks to Neil slowly, confused. Poppy is wide eyed and confused, and Mommy Long Legs right eye twitches, and she shakes his hand. “A pleasure to meet you. Did you used to work here?”

“No, no I didn’t. I just showed up here to explore the abandoned Toy Factory that I was told about from the guy at the yard sale who sold me the whole box of Vintage Playtime toys” replied Neil with a smile, and they depart from the handshake.

Hearing this startle, them all. This man who entered the factory… Is not a former Playtime Co. Employee!

Poppy feels horrified, and Huggy also realizes, he chased down this random person. But Mommy Long Legs, she sighs and she feels like she made a terrible mistake, but taking Poppy away is something not of a mistake but with a purpose.

Then Neil breaks the silence. “So, you said Game Station Games right? Well, I think we have time to spare, and it wouldn’t seem fair to just take Poppy and this Train Code. I can tell someone like you needs Company, and probably won’t give us the Train Code unless we play, am I correct?”

“Yes, that is correct” replied Mommy Long Legs with a confused expression.

Neil smirks, and he wears his backpack and Grabpack. “Challenge Accepted. Let the Games begin.” Huggy Wuggy is baffled that he’s accepting this, and even Poppy is shocked by this random person accepting the games.

Mommy Long Legs, she smiles and giggles. “That sounds truly wonderful! Oh, you’re going to have so much fun, Mr. Spellman. Head to Musical Memory and Mommy will get things started.” But then something inside of her clicks, and she slowly brings her head closer. “Obey the Rules, or I’ll tear you apart and eat your insides while you’re still alive.”

Neil remains with his smile, and his eyes are shocked. “What?”

Mommy Long Legs giggles, and she disappears back into the darkness with Poppy. Huggy then goes towards Neil. “Ummm… So, did I just sign our death bed?” Huggy facepalms himself, and he uses his Red Hand to open the door. “You gonna come along and help me with the games?”

Huggy Wuggy nods. “Oh boy, are the games hard?” Huggy thinks about this and he nods. Neil sighs. “Alright, well then.” They see the door open. “Let’s do this thing.” Neil and Huggy step through the doors of the Game Station and get ready for the first Game.

To be continued…
A/N: They encountered the Living Doll Poppy Playtime, and the Living Large Pink Spider Toy Mommy Long Legs, and the time has come for them to get to the Games and then get the hell out of this place, but it won’t be easy. I hope you guys enjoyed reading this.

Chapter 4: GAME STATION: Musical Memory

Chapter Text

Time to enter the Game Station and Play the First of the Games, and try to win! I hope you all enjoy reading this new one guys.
Saving Playtime.
“GAME STATION: Musical Memory.”

The door opens, and Neil and Huggy enter, and see the hallway with a large mural of Playtime Co. and with so many toy mascots, and even Huggy Wuggy and Mommy Long Legs. “Wow. The whole set right here, and—” Neil turns around and sees a mural of what the Game Station looks like.

“Well dang. Is it that big? This sure looks… Wait, what the heck?” He sees the mural has Mommy Long Legs playing with the children at the Game Station, and what looks like folks in lab coats at observation decks above, and this confuses Neil. “Huggy, what the heck is going on here?”

Huggy sighs, and he rubs his arm and feels nervous. Neil can tell that something is wrong, and he feels like the secrets and answers are deep within, but right now they have something else to focus on, beating these games and getting Poppy and the Train Code and getting out of here.

Neil does see a PJ Pug-a-Pillar toy on the ground, but the eyes are gouged out, and there is blood. ‘What in the hell is going on in this place? What is happening?’ Neil then sees Huggy pull the lever and open the gate, and they both walk through.

The lights all turn on, and Neil is surprised by the size of this place. They have entered the Game Station! “Holy Mother of Macaroni and Fried Shrimp!” Neil can see some small playgrounds, drawings, benches and the train and a control panel.

“This is the Game Station for reals?! Why is it so huge and… Dang! This could’ve been an amusement park down here!” Huggy Wuggy chuckles hearing Neil be amazed and surprised, and he sees some webs on some parts of the walls, and Huggy knows this is Mommy Long Legs territory.

Neil then sees a cutout of Mommy Long Legs and he pushes the button, but instead there is only weird muffled sounds and static. “Okay, weird. Why would these ones not make a sound? I thought we’d hear the voice of Mommy Long Legs.” Neil then sees Huggy walking towards the Train Station, and so he follows him.

Neil does notice, these three large gate areas, and the names on them. ‘Those must be the Games we have to go to. Well, let’s see how we can open their gates and step into the trials that await us.’

They make it up the small flight of stairs, but they do encounter a Kissy Missy cutout, and she’s dressed like a Train Conductor. “Whoa. Kissy Missy. Is she like, supposed to be in charge of the Game Station Train?” Neil sees the button on the cutout, and so he pushes it.

"Preparing for departure in three... two... one! Choo choo!"
"Chug-a chug-a chug-a chug-a choo choo!"
Kissy speaking faster. "Chug-a chug-a chug-a chug-a choo choo!"
Kissy speaking faster again. "Chug-a chug-a chug-a chug-a choo choo!"
"Tickets please, tickets."
"Her name is Kissy, Kissy Missy!" Kissy giggling.
"Be safe and have fun."
"Muah." Kissy giggling.

And like the one with Huggy’s cut out, the rest is all just static. “What’s with the broken static?” He then heads to the control panel, but then he sees Huggy looking at the Kissy Missy Cutout, and he goes over and checks on him. “Are you alright, Huggy?”

Huggy sighs, and shakes his head, and so Neil hugs him, and Huggy returns the hug. They both depart from the hug, and Neil can tell that Huggy is feeling better. They both head to the control panel and see how it works.

Neil hears the beeping from the panel, and he sees one of the lights is on red and so he pulls the lever, and the red light becomes green, and they both hear someone speaking like an announcement, when it is actually a recording.

“Hi, kids! Welcome to the Game Station! I'm Stella, and we've got three super-duper fun games to play! These little tests show us just how crazy strong and smart you are! Follow Mommy Long Legs down the stairs, and we'll start by playing Musical Memory! See you in a bit!”

“Huh, I guess she was more in charge of this area more than Mommy Long Legs.” They hear a loud creaking sound, and it’s the sound from one of the gates opening, and they head over to the Gate with the name MUSICAL MEMORY. Neil sighs and looks to Huggy. “This is it bud.”

Huggy nods, and the gate is fully open, but they can hear the giggling of Mommy Long Legs echoing from within. “Sounds like she’s waiting for us. Let’s not keep her too excited, come on buddy.” They both step inside, and they go down this hallway which looks like it needs some cleaning.

But Neil notices a few toys on the ground, with red blood stains and this concerns him. ‘Why do I keep seeing blood stained toys in some areas? It makes it look like a murder happened here. Jeez!’ They see the main door to go inside is half-way open, and they both can’t get through.

“Looks like we have to find a way to power this gate and open it, huh?” Huggy nods, and they see the large hole to their right, and they go on inside, and step into another hallway, and it’s dirty and a mess. “Seriously, this place needs some maintenance. At least you’re Lobby wasn’t dusty or dirty.”

This makes Huggy Wuggy snicker, and grin. They make it to the end of the hallway, and they see this hole and they hop inside, and go through this tunnel, a tunnel that looks like something dug their way through. “I think I preferred the ventilation shaft better than this.”

Neil and Huggy make it out of the tunnel, and enter a dark room. “Where the heck are we?” Huggy looks around and he goes to this red blinking light, and he grabs the switch and flips it, and the light turns green and all the lights turn on.

Neil looks around and sees where they are. “Molding Room. Huh, I wonder…” But then he sees the machines, and the purpose of this place. “Wait, wait. Is this where the Grabpack hands are molded? I can make another one for what was missing.”

Huggy Wuggy wanders around, and so Neil does the same thing. Neil does pick up a green VHS Tape, and he sees the Green VCR and TV, and he watches what it says. It’s an instruction tape on a new kind of hand for the Grabpack, the Green Hand.

“Alright, so I just shoot the Green hand on the Power Outlet to temporarily hold the electricity and then shoot it to an unpowered outlet to temporarily provide that power to open gates. The power charge on the hand will last ten seconds before fading away. Sounds simple enough and also kinda dangerous.”

Neil then goes to the Control Panel, and then Huggy lands down next to him startling Neil. “Holy—Buddy, what were you doing up there?” Huggy then looks to the Control Panel, and he pushes the button, and they keep pushing the buttons and the whole place keeps on continuing to make the green hands.

What Neil doesn’t know, while he was watching the Green Hand Tutorial, Huggy has been fixing some issues that would happen to the Molding Machine.

Then they look to the Conveyer Belt and the Green Hands are all ready for use. “Wow. These look nice.” Neil grabs a Green Hand, and he attaches it to the missing right Grabpack hand, and Huggy grabs one too, and Neil watches as he swaps the red hand for the green hand.

“Wow. You can swap them? Nice.” Neil then sees a green glowing power outlet, and he uses the Green Hand and he grabs the power, and it’s now contained within the Green Hand. “Whoa. I feel like a Tesla Trooper from Red Alert now.” He uses the Green Hand again onto an unpowered outlet, and it works, and the Conveyer Belt Door opens, and so Neil and Huggy step inside and walk through.

Neil and Huggy make it out using a hole in the wall, and they see the pathway they took earlier, and they go back to the pathway to the Game, and they see the cutout of Bunzo Bunny. Neil then pushes the button to hear what he says.

“I know when your birthday is~! June 28th." Bunzo laughing sounds.
"Make a wish...!"
"Happy birthday!"
"
♪ Oh, happy birthday! Oh, happy happy birthday! Oh, happy birthday, happy birthday to youuuu~!

Neil is not baffled by this, but then he speaks. “Not even close little rabbit. But my birthday is on March 6.” Huggy Wuggy then high fives with Neil. They both walk away and head to the Game itself, Musical Memory and they stand in the middle of the platform after crossing the catwalk, and everything seems dark.

They then look up and see Bunzo Bunny high above this tunnel, and then the TV screens turn on, and the lights, and they look around. “Is this… The game Musical Memory?” asked Neil. Then the screens are purple, and what they see is an instruction on what the game is, voiced by Leith Pierre.

“Welcome to Musical Memory! This advanced memory and cognitive recognition test is designed to stimulate several segments of the brain, allowing us to see how quickly and efficiently your brain works.”

“A sequence of colors will be shown, and you must recreate the exact sequence using the buttons around you. Bunzo will slowly lower towards you. When you complete a color pattern correctly, Bunzo will rise back up. When you input a pattern incorrectly, Bunzo will lower towards you faster. If Bunzo reaches you, your test is over.”

“The test will become more difficult as it continues, with longer patterns in quicker succession. That's all. Good luck!”

“Huh, so that’s it?” asked Neil. “Well, you’re right big guy. These games are going to get hard.”

They then see an observation deck, and inside watching them is none other than Mommy Long Legs. “Oh, isn't it amazing? Mommy hasn't seen the place up and running in years! Mommy can only imagine how excited Bunzo must be. It's been such a long time since he's been able to play, to cheer, to eat...”

They hear cymbals clashing, and they look up and see Bunzo Bunny is ready, and he has a mouth with some sharp teeth. Neil is confused and Huggy growls and hisses. “Oh! That's the dinner bell! Good luck.”

Neil then calls out. “Hey, why does it sound like you wanna kill me? I told you that I never worked here—” Then the Game starts, and Neil and Huggy get ready for this.

The screens announce the color of the button they have to push, and they see the buttons that have been deployed for them, and Neil now knows what this is. A Color matching and kinda like Simon Says Game, and both Huggy and Neil manage to ace the first round. This also pulls Bunzo back up a little bit.

But the second round starts up, and they both work together to recreate the color sequences which are now faster, and added a new color.

The third round also comes up, and another color is added, and both Neil and Huggy manage to listen to the sequence and recreate it to win the third round.

Next is the fourth round, but this time the buttons of the letter J, a heart and pie appear, and they do their best to listen to the fast sequence to match it again.

Neil chuckles, and he calms down. “Huggy, gotta say. You know how to keep up and play this game. I’m actually having fun.” Huggy chuckles, and nods. Mommy Long Legs notices this, and she also smiles, seeing someone enjoy themselves with the game after so long makes her feel warm inside.

But then, when the fifth round begins, the whole place malfunctions and there are more buttons and the voice announcer speaking too fast. Neil is confused. “Is this part of the game?!”

Mommy Long Legs also notices this. “No, it’s not.” She now panics, and looks at the madness of the whole game going out of control. “What is going on down there? What did you do?!”

“We didn’t do anything! The place is going broken! We have to stop this thing!” yelled Neil, and they look up and see Bunzo is panicked and doesn’t know what’s happening, and he feels like his rope is going to snap.

Neil sees this warning button moving, and he uses the Grabpack to press it, and it works. Everything shuts down, and restores back and it’s all over. Bunzo then falls from above, and Huggy catches him.

Neil sees Bunzo shaking like a leaf. He then hands him a bottle of water, and he drinks it. “Are you alright, Bunzo?” The Bunny nods, and then they hear the voice of Mommy Long Legs.

“Oh... it broke... That's no fun... Sorry that happened. Mommy doesn’t know why it malfunctioned. Still, for doing such a splendid job, Mommy has decided to give you... part of the code for the Train. Look up... Take it.”

Neil sees her hand stretched above, and with the first part of the code for the train and so he takes it, and her hand retracts back. “Thank you.”

“You’re welcome” replied Mommy Long Legs. “A Shame the Game broke, Mommy was hoping the Game would last a little longer, but it’s alright though, there are two more games to play.” She giggles and sneaks away into a vent. “See you there, Mr. Spellman.”

Neil remains silent. “Okay, and now she’s entered a murderous mode. What else is trying to kill me?” Bunzo raises his hand. “Rhetorical question little fella.” He then looks to Bunzo. “Wanna tag along?” Bunzo nods, and then Neil hands Huggy a bag of nuts, and he shares them with Bunzo and the trio leave using the catwalk.

But then the catwalk falls to the ground before they even set foot. They remain silent, and are shocked, “Well, that was too close. Come on guys.” Neil uses the Grabpack to get down there, and same with Huggy Wuggy who carries Bunzo Bunny down there.

They all enter this ventilation shaft again, and they enter this large room. Neil then lands down and sees the many toys here. “Wait, wait…” he sees a box filled with Miss Delight Action figures. “This is the Reject Toys room! Wow! This is where they dump the bad idea toys.”

They then spot this Bron cutout, and so Neil presses the button to hear what he has to say.

“Wanna hear a dino joke? Click once for the question, click again for the punchline.” chuckles
“What do you call a dino with one eye? A "Do you think he saur us?" laughs
“What do you call a dinosaur who's a noisy sleeper? A "Tyranno-snore-us." Laughs
“What do you call the scariest dinosaur?”
“Me...”

Neil is confused. “So… Bron is a weirdo Comedian who doesn’t know how to make things funny?” They all wander around, and look for some way out, while Huggy and Bunzo are trying to figure someway out, they are unaware that Neil is busy looking for something which is the reason why he’s here.

Neil just ends up finding so many Rejected Toys and Document files about them. Sir Poops-a-lot, Owen the Oven, Kick me Paul, Daisy the Marionette, several early concept designs of Mommy Long Legs and Pet Stone.

Neil is baffled by these toys. “Whoever came up with some of these toys, needs to be fired ASAP. Oh wait, they were.” He chuckles, and keeps searching. ‘Dang it, not a single Catnap found.’ He doesn’t even notice Huggy and Bunzo manage to find a way out for them.

Neil then hears cymbals clashing, and he sees Bunzo wave to him and he goes over and sees that Huggy managed to find a lift, and all he had to do was move the giant Bron statue out of the way. “Huh, nice one. Sorry for wandering around, I wanted to see the weird rejected stuff in here. Also, Barrel O’Huggy’s? Who makes up this stuff?”

Huggy and Bunzo shrug, and they take the lift out of the Rejected Toys Warehouse. Neil, Huggy and Bunzo continue down the halls, and they make it to another electric puzzle to solve, and this time Neil manages to do this, and they get the lift operational and make it out of there.

The Trio then go through multiple halls, and then see this door with a chair blocking it, and Neil removes the chair and they open the door and are back at the main entrance of Musical Memory, and the hole on the wall is now blocked by webbing, signs that Mommy Long Legs did this.

They leave the Game Area, and head back up to Game Station. Neil then kneels down to Bunzo. “Hey, we’re gonna go off and do the next game. Are you alright being here at the Game Station Train Station, or do you wanna come along with us?” Bunzo goes closer, and hugs his leg. “Alright, coming along with us it is then.”

This makes Huggy chuckle, and they all head to the Control Panel and get ready for the next game. But they are unaware, that Mommy Long Legs is watching them from the catwalks above. ‘Interesting.’

To be continued…
A/N: They finished the first game, and the next is Whack-a-Wuggy, and they made a new friend. I hope you guys enjoyed reading this.

Chapter 5: GAME STATION: Whack-a-Wuggy

Chapter Text

The next Game, time to Whack some Wuggies, find out some more mysteries, and possibly make some new friends. I hope you all enjoy reading this new one guys.
Saving Playtime.
“GAME STATION: Whack-a-Wuggy.”

Neil and Huggy make it to the control panel, but then Neil looks towards his leg, and Bunzo still hugging it. “Hey, Bunzo. I need my leg, so can you please get off?” Bunzo nods, and hops off, and then Neil pulls the lever and they hear the voice of Stella Greyber again.

“Whoa! You did fantastic! Who gave you permission to be this smart?” Stella giggles. “Mommy is super proud of you! But I'm sure she's already told you that herself. Our next game is Wack-a-Wuggy! Head downstairs and have fun!”

The doors to the next game opens, and the trio head on over there to see the place. But Huggy seems a little nervous, he knows this place, and he knows what lies within, and he shakes it off to gain some confidence. Bunzo hops on Neil’s shoulder, and they both take notice of this.

“Hey, Huggy. Are you alright?” Huggy nods, and they proceed down the hallway, but then Neil sees this poster, of Mommy Long Legs hugging some kids, and Huggy Wuggy, and it’s not damaged or dirty. Neil removes it carefully from the wall, he rolls it up and puts it into his backpack.

Bunzo Bunny is confused, but Huggy growls and snarls, explaining to Bunzo and he now understands. The group then head off down the hallway, and then they reach this large empty room, with many pipes all over the wall, and a TV on the top corner.

Just then, the TV turns on and it gives instructions on the game, and the door closes behind them, and the voice once again is Leith Pierre.

“Welcome to Wack-a-Wuggy! This advanced test is designed to assess the extent of your reactionary abilities. A dual palm Grabpack will be provided to you for this test.”

“Around you are 18 sizable holes. An adorable Huggy Wuggy toy could appear out of any one of these holes.”

“If one comes out, hit it with your Grabpack. That's all. Good luck!”

Neil remains silent. “Okay, well this is gonna be bad. I could only guess, they’re going to try and eat us?” Bunzo hisses and looks around, ready for the incoming Mini Wuggies. But then someone from above speaks, at the observation deck and it’s none other than Mommy Long Legs.

“The toys in this game used to have strings attached to them, so they could be pulled back when they got too close to the children.” She reveals the strings in her hand, and drops them. "Hmm... Have fun." She watches with content, and this confuses Neil.

Then they hear small growling, and Neil looks around, to find where they’re coming from, but then Huggy walks somewhere else, and a Mini Wuggy comes out and is startled seeing Huggy, and he just gives him a steady push back into the pipe.

Neil and Bunzo watch as Huggy goes to another pipe, and he pushes another Mini Wuggy back inside, seeing this Bunzo heads to the other wall of pipes, and a Mini Wuggy comes out and he lightly pushes it back. Huggy pushes another one back, and so Neil goes to the other wall and sees one coming, and he gives him a light push with his Grabpack hand slowly sending him back.

Neil now understands, Huggy doesn’t want to whack these mini versions of himself away, just a light push and not get hurt. This confuses Mommy Long Legs, and the trio just continue to lightly push each incoming Mini Wuggy back into the pipe.

Then, there’s a bell sound and that means the game is over and they survived, er won. Neil chuckles and Bunzo claps his Cymbals with joy, then the four Mini Wuggies come out, and they slowly approach Huggy, and Neil sees them. Red, Blue, Yellow and Green smaller versions of Huggy Wuggy, known as the Mini Wuggies.

Huggy picks them all up and hugs them, and so Neil goes over, and he gives each one a strawberry and grape, and they eat the fruit and are filled with joy after not eating for so long, which makes Neil smile and feel proud of himself, but then they hear Mommy Long Legs speak, and she sounds annoyed.

“Oh, well will you look at that. You did it.” She sighs, and then calms down, changing her tone to a cheerful one. “Mommy is so... Proud of you! Here, Mommy has another hint for you." From below a metal grate, the next code for the train is revealed, and so Neil goes over and takes it, and her hand retracts back.

Mommy then gets her hand back, but she sees a bacon sandwich in her hand, and she sees Neil wave to her, he left a sandwich on her hand before she pulled it back, and she calms down and speaks. "Only one game left to play. Hmm... Sad. Mommy was hoping you'd stay here forever. Though, it's never too late to change your mind." Mommy Long Legs leaves, and her menacing laughter is heard.

They also hear the sound of eating through the vents. “She likes the sandwich.” Neil looks to the Mini Wuggies. “Well, welcome aboard Mini Wuggies. We’re about to head to the Train and get the heck out of this place. Wanna tag along?” The Mini Wuggies cheer, and also want to come.

Huggy smiles, and Bunzo hops around crashing his cymbals, then the metal grate opens fully and they all head into this storage hallway area or something, and then they see a spiral of stairs which lead up, but there are some steps damaged. “We’re going up boys!”

Neil has Bunzo on his shoulder, and Huggy has the Mini Wuggies hold onto him, and they both use their Grabpacks and make it to the top, and then they see the cutout of Candy Cat, but before he can push the button it loses balance and falls to the bottom. “Dang it. I wanted to know what Candy Cat says.”

The group enters this yellow hallway, but it has rails and metal grates and then Huggy, Bunzo and the Mini Wuggies realize where they are, and Neil sees the sign. “Cart Corridors… Oh snap. I could only guess, this is a labyrinth?” The other toys nod, and they look around for any way to get out of here and avoid getting trapped.

They see the metal grate blocking their path and some power outlets with no power in them, and they head down another path which leads to a steep rail slope, with a barred-up door, and then another hallway and they see the metal grate down. “Dang it. Can you mini Wuggies get to the other side and try to flip the switch to… What?”

The Toys aren’t looking at him, they’re looking at something else, and so Neil turns around and is surprised to see a Toy at the other side of the closed grate. “Kissy Missy?!” It is her, the Pink better half of Huggy Wuggy, and she looks to Huggy and Huggy look to Kissy.

They have a long stare, and then Kissy sees the lever, and she manages to flip it down, and the sound of the gate opening is heard, but then Kissy takes her leave back down the hallway she came from, and as soon as the gate opens, Huggy goes after her, and so do the others.

They turn to the next hallway and see, that she’s gone. Huggy sighs, and then Neil holds his hand. “We’ll find her, Huggy. I promise.” Huggy smiles, and hugs Neil, and so he hugs him back. Then the Mini Wuggies join in and even Bunzo.

The Group depart from the hug, and they continue down the hallway, and they see this cart and Neil goes closer, and he sees eyes on the cart and there are some toys inside of it, but it’s not alive. “Huh, Barry the Cart. Well hello Barry. I guess he’s going to be helping us, maybe.” This confuses the others.

They spot some Power Outlets, and unpowered ones, levers and more. So, they all work together, powering up the outlets, and pulling down some levers, opening the metal grates, and navigating through this labyrinth of railways and hallways. 

But then, Neil finds this blue VHS Tape, and a VCR and TV nearby. “Why do these things magically pop up in places like this?” He puts the VHS into the VCR and they watch an interview between Leith Pierre and this employee named Marcas Brickley.

Leith Pierre: "Mind if I film this?"

Marcas Brickley: "Oh, not at all sir."

Leith Pierre: "That's what I like to hear. So, Marcas, what happened?"

Marcas Brickley: "You see, I was heading home for the day when my ape arse realized that I left me bloody wallet in the cafeteria. So, I'm running through the lobby...And that's when I see it. A mop handle lodged under the innovation wing gate."

Leith Pierre: "So what'd you do, Marcas?"

Marcas Brickley: "Well I just thought I'd nab the bloody yoke and be on me merry way."

Leith Pierre: "And?"

Marcas Brickley: "Well, I'm reaching for the thing, and the mop handle jolts on its own. Had me scared stiff. I thought I was the only one there. S-So I took a peek beneath the gate and some massive bloody thing was dodderin' about the bloody hallway!"

Leith Pierre: "Thing? You're sure it wasn't a person?"

Marcas Brickley: "Ain't no person that's 50 feet long with a thousand legs."

Leith Pierre: "Marcas, you're losing me. Maybe you just saw a bunch of people walking by."

Marcas Brickley: "Look, it wasn't people! Alright? I haven't a bloody notion what it was but it wasn't human."

Leith Pierre: "Hmm...Who have you told about this? Besides me, obviously."

Marcas Brickley: "Just you, sir. Obviously."

Leith Pierre: "OK, I'll have security skim the cameras and take a look."

Marcas Brickley: "What?! There's a massive bloody... Monster! Skimming ain't going to get rid of it!"

Leith Pierre: "You're out of line, Marcas. We make toys, not monsters. Now come on, get out of my sight. Actually uh, grab me a coffee, will you? Actually, never mind, get out of my sight."

The video ends, and Neil is confused. “That guy looks weirdly familiar, and his voice also sounds weirdly familiar. I must be hearing things.” He looks to Huggy and the Mini Wuggies. “Alright lads. Let’s get the heck outta here and then back to the Game Station!”

The group continue to open gates, and restore power to unpowered outlets, and they reach the main rail where they came from, and with Neil and Huggy pulling Barry. “Alright, time for Barry the Cart to shine and serve his purpose!”

“Are you ready for this Barry?!” The Cart doesn’t say anything at all, because its not even alive. “That’s what I wanted to hear!” They all push Barry the Cart, and they watch him go down the steep rails and then smashes through the barred door clearing the way. “He did it!”

Then Barry falls into a hole and is gone. They all remain silent, and so Neil brings out his cell phone and he plays a trumpet sound and salutes, and the others bow their heads in silence to honor such a brave Cart. “You’re a god damn American Hero Barry! We will remember you! Even if we only met for a few minutes.”

They all carry onward, and head down another hallway, and see some generators, and some unused and broken. Neil does notice, some broken Mommy Long Legs toys, and this concerns her, then he asks Bunzo. “Hey Bunzo, can you talk?” Bunzo shakes his head. “Okay, nevermind. That’s alright, Bunzo.”

As they continue to walk, Neil shares some trail mix with the toys, and Neil checks if there is a signal on his cell phone, and there is none. “Figures, we are underground after all. There’ll be no way for me to contact anyone from the outside.” The Toys are surprised by the device, they have never ever seen one before.

They then see this hole, and so they all go down and land safely onto a mattress and pillows someone left there, and they are back at the hallway which leads to Whack-a-Wuggy. Neil feels like, Mommy Long Legs placed it there, she knew they would end up taking that dangerous path. ‘At least she cares, sorta.’

The group take their leave from Whack-a-Wuggy, and make it back to the Game Station, and get ready for the next games, but deep down Neil feels like, he should do this last one, all on his own, for the safety of the others.

To be continued…
A/N: They made more new friends, and finished the second game, with no problems at all, a shame that a noble Cart sacrificed himself so they can get out, such a brave toy. His sacrifice will not be in vain! I hope you guys enjoyed reading this.

In Loving Memory of Barry the Toy Cart – He Lived, He carried toys, and broke down walls.

Chapter 6: GAME STATION: Statues

Chapter Text

One last game, time to end the games and then get the hell out of here, but it might not end quite well, and he might make another new friend. I hope you all enjoy reading this new one guys.
Saving Playtime.
“GAME STATION: Statues.”

Neil Spellman, Huggy Wuggy, Bunzo Bunny and the Mini Wuggies make their way to the Control Panel, and Neil looks to them. “This is it guys.” They all nod. So, Neil pulls the lever and they once again hear the voice of Stella Greyber.

"Geez! Have you played these before? You're so good! Seems like you're ready for the final game... Statues! Follow Mommy down the stairs one last time! I hope you had a fun day in the Game Station! See you next time!"

They see the door to Statues is jammed. “And that right there is bad.” They all head over there, and so Neil and Huggy work together, and they use all the strength they got, but then a Pink Hand from above comes down, and helps pull the door.

This startles Bunzo and the Mini Wuggies, and they hide behind Huggy, and they see Mommy Long Legs come down from the catwalks. “Thought you needed some help. Don’t keep Mommy waiting.” She snickers, and laughs as she goes into Statues.

This concerns Neil, and he looks to Huggy Wuggy. “Huggy, don’t come with me.” This startles Huggy, and he looks towards Neil. “Stay here, and please watch over the others. Let me do this on my own, I can handle this last game. That goes for the rest of you.”

Bunzo goes over, and looks concerned. Neil goes down and pets his head. “Calm down, and listen to me, alright? We will get outta here, that is a promise. Right now, Mommy Long Legs looks agitated, and unpleasant, allow me to go in there and try to reason with her. Alright?”

The Mini Wuggies go over and hug him. “everything will be alright guys. I got this.” Then Huggy hugs him, and then Bunzo and so Neil hugs them back. They depart from the hug, and Neil makes sure the Grabpack is strapped in tight, and he goes into the hallway of Statues.

Neil sees the stained and messed up murals of something long, and then he sees the doorway is blocked again, and so he goes down this maintenance room hallway. He then sees the ruined poster of PJ Pug-a-Pillar, and then he enters the room for the power.

But he sees the cutout of PJ Pug-a-Pillar, and he pushes the button and hears him speak, and he has this Scooby Doo kind of voice when talking.

"Do you want to play with PJ?
"Caterpillar or pug?"
"I’m crawling on all four hundreds!"
"Mmm, I’m hungry for some delicious bones! Do you have some bones for PJ?"
"Bworlf! Bworlf!"

The rest is static and tis confuses Neil. ‘Why always static at the end of these things? What the heck is going on here?’ Neil then sees the power outlet, and he sees where to connect it. “Alright, lets do this thing!” He manages to solve this power connection puzzle.

Connecting the Power Source outlets, letting the Grabpack cables touch the power poles, and then heading to the top and relaying the power connection and he can hear some gears whirring and electricity starting up, and he gets down from the top and heads back to the main hallway.

Neil steps into the now open door to the next and final game, the room seems dark, but then a light turns on, and the gate closes, and then the TV near the gate turns on, and instructions to the game are announced, and with the usual voice of Leith Pierre.

"Welcome to Statues!"

"This advanced obstacle course is designed to test your physical endurance and strength."

"The rules are simple. The lights will turn off. You can move through the obstacle course at this time. However, when the lights turn on, you can look around but cannot move. You may move again once the lights turn back off."

Then something emerges from the darkness, Neil notices it, and he is surprised to see an actual life size PJ Pug-a-Pillar, and he pants and looks like any ordinary pug, but with a long body and many legs. PJ looks to Neil and barks and this doesn’t scare him, he just remains speechless and surprised.

"The lovable PJ Pug-a-Pillar will follow you! If PJ reaches you, your test is over!"

"That's all. Good luck!"

The video ends, but he did listen and just looks to PJ. Neil approaches PJ, and he hugs his head. This surprises PJ, and he can feel this man scratching his chin. “Who’s a good big cute puppy? Yes you are a big cute pug puppy!”

Neil places a kiss onto PJ’s nose, and then hugs his head, and scratches his sides, and this makes PJ bark, and he likes this. Then someone calls out, and he sees at the observation deck, and sees it’s Mommy Long Legs again and she doesn’t sound happy at all.

"It was always so sad to see the kids go... They called me "Mommy" because I was the closest thing they ever had to one. But they'd come for games, and never come back. They left Mommy to die alone. Mommy didn't deserve that! But you? You worked here. So, if anyone deserves to die alone, it's you."

Neil is confused, and he leaves PJ alone for a while, and the Pug-a-pillar whimpers and wines. “Mommy Long Legs, listen to me. I am not a threat to you, I don’t want to cause any trouble. I just wanna leave, with the friends I made and—”

“YOU WILL DO AS I SAY AND PLAY THIS LAST GAME!” Mommy Long Legs calms down, and she sighs and looks annoyed. “When you do win, then Mommy will give you the last code for the train. Now go, and PLAY. THIS. GAME!”

Neil didn’t like the sound of this, and so he gets into position, and he looks to PJ Pug-a-Pillar, and he doesn’t want to chase this man, but Neil smiles. “Hey PJ. See you on the other side to see who wins?” PJ barks and is excited, and ready to play.

The game starts, and the lights turn off and the music plays, Neil… Sprints his way through the maze, and he manages to bypass so many obstacles, and he makes it to the monkey bars, but then he stops when the lights turn on and the music stops.

Mommy Long Legs is surprised that he made it there, and she sneaks off to do something else.

The lights turn off and the music plays, and Neil is already swinging to reach the other side, and without the use of the Grabpack, since he knows how to climb, and move fast, he is after all an urban explorer and this doesn’t seem like a challenge. ‘This seems like another day working out in the woods.’

Neil makes it to the other side, and he stops just as the music stops and the lights turn back on. PJ sees how far Neil is and he barks and is happy and continues his journey towards him. The Lights turn off, and the music starts, and he sprints into the hard tube which is long, and he doesn’t mind and makes it to the other side, and he stops moving again as the music stops and the lights turn on.

Neil then moves as the lights turn off, and the music starts and he parkours over the yellow boxes over the soft block pool, and he reaches the other side, and he is startled to see the finish line is gone, instead there is fallen debris everywhere. ‘What the hell is this?’

Neil then decides to just sit there, and wait. He sees PJ Pug-a-Pillar still on his way and so Neil waits and watches him come over, and he does wave over to PJ, and he barks and makes his way there. Neil then looks to the observation deck. ‘Where the heck is Mommy—Oh no, she didn’t.’

He now understands, that Mommy Long Legs caused this area to collapses, blocking the finish line, and preventing him from winning. ‘Doesn’t she understand? I never did work here, I mean… Is there something wrong with her? How long was she—How long were they all down here?’

Then he sees, PJ Pug-a-Pillar right in front of him and panting, and so he boops his nose. “And you’re here, hello PJ.” PJ barks, and he licks his face, making Neil laugh. “I love ya too, big Pug-a-Pillar.” He then stands up and they both look to the debris. “Does this count as cheating?”

PJ looks closely, and sees no finish line, and he growls and then barks. “Which means, she’s the one cheating.” He sees the observation deck. Neil then heads over, and uses the Grabpack to make it to the observation deck, and he looks down and sees PJ at the bottom and whimpering.

Neil then tosses him two bacon sandwiches, and he eats them, and then calls out. “PJ! Do you know your way out of here and back to the Game Station Train Station?” PJ barks and nods. “Alright, head back there, and explain to the other toys that I’ll be with them soon, alright?”

PJ Pug-a-Pillar nods, and he heads out of the Statues Game, and so Neil looks around the Observation Deck, there is no sign of Mommy Long Legs anywhere here, and he sees this file document, and reads it. “Game Station Test Subject Assessment Form?” He reads another one, and another.

“What in the hell are the employees doing here? Are they testing the children? What kind of suck and twisted experiment is this?” Neil sees how messed up the place is, and he looks to the ground and he can identify it is dried blood. “I don’t like this. Something happened here at Playtime, but what?”

Neil then looks for a way out and also searches for any trace of the last train code, and also wherever Poppy Playtime is, but he sees this hole on the ground. “That is one long fall.” Then someone lands behind him, and he turns around and its Mommy Long Legs, and she looks furious.

“WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU’RE DOING HERE?!” She tries to grab him, but she misses and Neil trips and falls into the hole. This makes her panic, and she tries to grab him, but she misses and he falls down the hole, and lands hard on the ground.

“Ouch.” But then the ground beneath him breaks. “Oh no.” He then falls down another hole, and this alarms Mommy Long Legs, and she roars and takes the vents to find Neil again, and deal with him personally.

Neil falls but then lands into the Ventilation Shaft, which slides him down and he screams, and then he breaks through the doors of this ventilation shaft and is thrown out and into another ventilation shaft, and then it drops him into the Water Treatment Center.

Neil groans, and he opens his eyes, and ties to get back up. “Thank god this backpack was designed to take a hit, and not break everything inside, and me as well.” Neil slowly stands up and he looks around. “Where in the hell am I now?”

He then realizes something wrong. “I have to get back to the others. We have to find Poppy and the Train Code, and then get the hell outta here. Mommy Long Legs is not being so motherly anymore!”

Neil then sees some water. “Huh, I could refill the bottles while I’m here.” He does check the water, and it’s clean and alright. He refills all the bottles, and containers, and the thermos, and then he puts them back into the backpack, and then he sees a control panel to the place.

Neil heads up there, and he sees the control buttons, but he also sees this file. “What’s this?” He reads it, and what he reads surprises him.

TRANSFER REQUEST
Experiment 1222
‘MOMMY LONG-LEGS
Subject - Marie Payne

ABILITIES:
Mommy Long-Legs has the unique ability to stretch any of her limbs for several hundred feet. This includes her fingers, arms, hair, neck, waist, and legs. She's very hostile towards the staff, but is very motherly and acts warmly towards the other experiments. She is protective of them.

PROBLEM:
The hostility is quickly becoming problematic, but perhaps there is a solution to put her in her place.

PROPOSAL:
Mommy Long-Legs would be perfect for facilitating everything with the children in the Game Station. She has the warmth that a mother should, and any rowdy child can learn to “listen to their mother.” It makes sense that her seeing these children daily would improve her behavior, and it is very unlikely she will act out in front of the children. Have her transferred to High Security Maintenance immediately. Conditioning can begin.

Neil’s eyes feel hollow reading this, and he puts it down, and now he realizes what’s going on. “No, no. No, they’re… They’re not toys, they’re all…” He then recalls, the dead toys with blood, the blood from Huggy Wuggy’s cuts. “Children?”

It all makes sense now, and he recalls Poppy, and the Scientists on the mural who observe the children from above and the purpose to all the Games in the Game Station. “This is not just a toy factory… They turn children… Into, big toys?” Neil puts the document file back into his backpack, and he starts the control panel of the Water Treatment Center.

Neil doesn’t even bother with the VHS Tape there, and he’s just got one thing on his mind. ‘We’re all getting the fuck out of this horrible place, and Marie Payne is coming with us as well! I have to find her, I have to help her! I have to help these kids, and get them out of this nightmare!’

Neil does see the photo of the plush Catnap in his pocket, and he sighs. “Sorry, but the plans just changed, and you’ll have to be for some other time. We have to get outta here!”

To be continued…
A/N: He passed statues, and now he knows the truth, the truth behind Mommy Long Legs, and the mission has just changed. I hope you guys enjoyed reading this.

Chapter 7: One Last Game!

Chapter Text

The plans have changed, and now a new mission is in motion, to save these Toys and get out of this horrible, horrible Factory, and make sure they don’t suffer even further from the horrors that this place has done to them. I hope you all enjoy reading this new one guys.
Saving Playtime.
“One Last Game!”

Someone is seen running down the utility hallways, and it’s Neil Spellman, and he looks panicked and is looking for someone, and that someone is Mommy Long Legs. He managed to get passed the Water Treatment Center, and even making his way through multiple other puzzles.

He keeps running and calls out. “Marie! Marie! Can you hear me?!” Then he tries a different call. “Mommy! Mommy Long Legs! Come on out! I’m right here!” But no response, and this makes him even more concerned, and he keeps looking for her, or a way out to find the others back at the Game Station.

Neil then stops, and he sees this large metal grate, and he slowly makes his way towards it, and he uses his flashlight, and what he sees on the other side horrifies him.

There are catwalks, tables and beds. There are tools for opening things, scalpels and scissors and other tools meant for surgery, and there he is shocked to find some buckets filled with red liquid and gel, and some limbs for toys, but the limbs are pink and meant for one Large Toy.

“No, this is…” Neil has some tears, and he bangs his fist to the metal grate, and he has fury in his eyes, he hates what they did to the children, and to Mommy Long Legs. He now knows the truth, and it’s sick and horrific. “I promise, we will get out of here, and you can all live happily and free from these nightmares!”

Neil steps back, and walks away from the area, and he needs to try and find where Mommy Long Legs is, and help her see reason. He then sees the vent, and he takes it.

Neil enters a room, and manages to figure out the power outlet and source puzzle, and he gets the power back online, and he sees this Red VHS Tape, and a VCR. He manages to open the door after restoring the power, but he doesn’t know it also opened the door for the metal grate leading to the old experiment lab.

Neil then sees what’s on the VHS Tape, and it’s about Mommy Long Legs.

“The following is a pre-recorded announcement to address the many complaints regarding an alleged 'very, very big spider' crawling around in the facility."

"The Playtime corporation wants me to remind you all that spiders that big... Do not exist."

"And if they did, quote: We would already be dead anyways. End quote."

"Regardless, you can all rest assured the company's sending some specialists down here to have a look around and relieve the constant whining."

"Complaining seems to be everyone's primary contribution to this company. It's just a spider. You are all safe. Please, please carry on with your jobs.”

This angers Neil and he takes the TV and VCR and he throws it to the wall, and then stomps on it. But he calms down, and he looks pissed off. “Fuck this place, and fuck the people who worked here. I hope they suffered and died horrible after what they have done to these children, and Marie!”

Neil leaves the room, ignoring the cutout of Boogie-Bot, because he’s only focused on Mommy Long Legs, Neil then sees an open ventilation shaft, and he goes inside to find a way out to find her, but then it breaks beneath him and he falls and lands onto the ground.

“Okay, that hurt. Should’ve landed on the backpack” Neil gets back up, and is fine. He dusts himself off a bit and looks around this dark hallway, and then he sees the other end of it, and goes over there and he looks up and sees a handle he can use to pull himself up and find another way out.

But then something large and pink comes down roaring with rage. “AAAAARGH!!!” Neil panics, and backs away and screams, and he sees it’s an angry Mommy Long Legs. “I ASKED YOU TO PLAY FAIR AND YOU CHEATED! I HATE CHEATERS! Now, we're going to play one, LAST, GAME. It’s called… hide… and… SEEEEEK!!!”

Neil can see, she has entered a deranged state, and he tries to speak to her. “Listen to me, please—”

But Mommy Long Legs doesn’t listen and she starts counting down. “Ten. Nine. Eight. Seven…”

Neil sighs. “Alright, alright.” He looks to Mommy Long Legs and wipes away a few tears. “One Last Game.” He then makes a run for it through the doors, and he goes down the stairs, and parkours all the way down, and through the doors, and he tries to look for someplace to escape, and rethink his plan.

Neil passes by these dirty hallways and they are a mess, and ignores some signs, and he goes up some stairs and onto the catwalk and he sees some pipes and webs all over the place. ‘This is it. This is her domain, this is where Marie’s been hold up all these years. Poor girl, I have to try and get her to wake up and listen to me. I have to help her!’

Neil then goes through a hole in the wall, and sees that this is where a lot of pipes are checked on, and he follows them and sees another hole, leading into a tunnel that has been dug. Then he goes into a storage room, and then he flips the switch and goes onto the conveyer belt and into the ventilation shaft where he goes down the vent shaft leading below.

Neil lands into a room, and sees a large gate that is the emergency exit, and he sees this document and reads it, which is about a Construction Company that agreed to expand the labs underground and keep it all a secret, and this pisses him off. “Fucking assholes. Even the construction workers were all in on this? Glad they’re company shut down years ago.”

Neil notices a dead Candy Cat and Bunzo Bunny toy, blood on them, and he opens a door leading down a hall, and then he opens another door meant for the staff, and he sees the colored levers, and he sees the gate and he closes his eyes and calms down. “another pathway, another puzzle and more problems. Let’s end this thing.”

Neil doesn’t even notice the words on the wall that say. Remember the Hour of Joy.

He does look up and sees an open vent, so he fires the Grabpack and pulls himself up and he sees the colored wires of the levers, and all numbered and he now knows which lever to open first to last. He gets back down, and he gets to it and completes this colored lever puzzle and the gate opens.

Neil goes down the hallway again, and he can see some webs, and some chains, and he didn’t like this, and just as he makes a turn to the corner, he hears this moaning sound and Mommy Long Legs appears, and goes after him, but he doesn’t run.

Neil holds his ground, and she leaps towards him, and so he ducks down and makes a run for it, and she stumbles and hits the wall, and she turns around and can’t see him anymore, and she tries to find him again. “Don’t you dare dodge me little fly! You are in my web now!”

What she doesn’t realize, Neil has entered the furnace room, and here he sees the furnace and he wanders around and now he sees what’s wrong. “I need to make a gear, wonderful. God this place is starting to become awful.” Neil then gets to it, and with the power of the furnace, and some power from the outlet, he makes a gear.

Neil sees a poster of Mommy Long Legs, and he can see that a Toy like her is not meant for a place like this. ‘Don’t worry. I will find you and help you, that is a Pinky Promise.’

But he does see, that the furnace kinda acts like a way for him to hide. “As if I want to hide from Mommy Long Legs when I clearly have to get her to listen to me. God fucking damn it.” Neil then brings the gear over to the generator, and he places it in, and then flips the switch and the gate now opens.

Neil sees the hallway ahead, he stands tall and is not afraid of what might come next, and he yells. “Mommy Long Legs! Here I am now, come and get me!”

Then she shows up, from the catwalk hallway, Mommy Long Legs, and she gives chase, and Neil runs off to try and find someplace to stop or slow her down. He takes the door, and he dodges the falling debris caused by her outstretched arm and he goes through another door, and runs down another hallway.

He can see Mommy Long Legs pass by some pipes, and he leaps down into the sewer system and then Neil makes it to the top, and he looks around for a way out and he enters these sewer pipes, but he sees the arms of Mommy Long Legs trying to reach for him, which he ducks down and goes through different pipes, and this surprises him.

How the heck is she able to stretch that long? Does she get powerful when she gets angry?’

Neil arrives at a dead end, but he looks up and uses the Grabpack to pull himself up there, and not too far behind is Mommy Long Legs still chasing him, and he swings his legs to avoid her from grabbing him and he makes it to the top and starts running down a hallway again.

Neil makes a hard turn, and he turns around to see if she’s still following him, but then he trips and falls into a hole and he sees he’s back in the same room, where the emergency exit is, and the gears are now turning, which means the vibrations and collapsing of this are caused the whole systems to come online.

He flips the switch and the Emergency Exit doors open, and he ducks underneath and makes a run for it, and then he spots something ahead of him. A Long hallway, with a large mural of Mommy Long Legs, and he makes a mad dash for it. ‘I have to find someplace to keep her pinned and then talk to her and calm things down! She doesn’t realize what’s happened to her!’

Neil sees a door, and it needs a blue hand and he shoots it and it starts to scan, but he doesn’t realize Mommy Long Legs is coming at him, and she roars, and laughs, this alarms Neil and he turns around, and she leaps forward, and the door opens and they both are knocked inside of the Grinder Room.

Mommy Long Legs hits the Grinder, with her left hand is stuck and she tries to grab it, but then Neil hits the lever, and the grinder turns on, and it starts to consume the hand of Mommy Long Legs and this breaks her deranged state and she screams and panics.

“AAAAAAAGH!!! WHAT HAVE YOU DOOOOOONE?! HE'LL MAKE ME PART OF HIM!”

Neil is horrified at what’s happening, and he tries to flip the switch back up, but it breaks and so he charges over, and yells as he jams the lever into the grinder, and then he uses the Grabpack and he even uses the Grabpack to grab a cinder block and jam it in there as well.

The Grinder comes to a halt, and both Neil and Mommy Long Legs see, it’s over. But then Neil struggles to get her hand out, and this surprises Mommy Long Legs. “W-What are you—”

“Calm down, Marie. Please. Let me help you get out of here, god damn it!” Neil struggles to pry the grinder open to get her hand off. “There has to be a way to get you’re hand out! I didn’t want to put you in this situation, I just wanted to talk and calm you down! Because I never ever Worked in this Stupid Factory!”

Mommy Long Legs is wide eyed, and shocked. “W-What?”

Neil then grabs a rock, and he goes to the lever panel of the grinder, and he smashes onto it so many times, that the Grinder comes online, and it reverses and now Mommy Long Legs hand is free, and she sees it’s broken, and has some blood stains, and it hurts.

Neil goes over, and grabs the medical kit from his backpack, and he starts to tend to her wounded left hand, and she looks to the man who has tears, and is trying to help her. “I’m sorry. I’m so sorry, Marie. I’m sorry they did this to you! I’m sorry they made you into this Toy! I’m sorry they took your life away!”

Mommy Long Legs is surprised once again. “W-What did you just call me?”

Neil manages to wrap some bandaging around her hand, that’s the best he can do. “Don’t touch it, Marie. Please, don’t. Let it heal, until we can find something to help repair you, I just… I don’t know. I’m not like my brother who is good with medical stuff. This kind of injury, is out of my league.”

Mommy Long Legs nods, and then she asks. “How did you know that name?”

Neil then grabs the Transfer File, and he hands it to Mommy Long Legs, and she reads it. She reads all of it, and she starts to shed tears, and she sobs silently. “T-They broke me… They t-tore me apart… I am… I am not Marie Payne… N-Not anymore!” She starts to cry, but then Neil embraces her.

This surprises Mommy Long Legs, but she too sobs, and hugs him, and rests her head onto his shoulder, and he also cries and feels bad for what they did to this poor girl. Mommy sniffles, and coughs a little, and they remain like this for a while. Neil rubs her head, and back, trying to calm her down.

All this time, the Giant Elastic Plastic Toy he saw in amazement, was actually an innocent child who was torn apart, and made into something she never asked to become. Now he has a new reason to be here, and that is to get these children turned toys out of this house of horrors and nightmares.

They depart from the hug, and Neil touches the face of Mommy Long Legs, and he wipes away her tears, and she whimpers, and he holds her bandaged hand. “We’ll need to find some way to fix this, and then you’ll be alright again. I promise.”

“Will I? Will I be alright again?” Mommy sniffles, and she tries to calm down.

Neil kisses her forehead. “I Pinky Promise Marie, and I wish I could bring back the life you lost. But, I just don’t know how—”

“It’s alright, I just… You had nothing to do with this. They did this t-to me, and… You didn’t work here… I’m s-sorry for chasing you, I just… I thought you were lying, but now… I can see that you are telling the truth. You are not an employee from Playtime” replied Mommy Long Legs, and she holds his hand, and hugs him again, and so Neil embraces her again.

But then, they both stop and hear something, they turn around and right there, beneath the wooden barred steel grate doors, is a metallic skeleton claw, and it reaches around for something that has died here, and this makes Mommy Long Legs scream and back away in fear.

“HE’S HERE! HE’S HERE! HE’LL MAKE ME PART OF HIM! I DON’T WANT TO BE PART OF THE PROTOTYPE!”

This alarms Neil, and then he recalls the VHS he watched before Huggy destroyed the VCR, the name of the Prototype, and seeing the fear in Mommy Long Legs eyes is proof enough, that this Prototype is dangerous, and a reason to be feared, but to Neil. All he sees, is a metal claw hand.

Neil goes towards it, and he pulls out a swiss army knife from his pocket, and he looks down with anger at the hand. “You’ve done enough, and Marie is not yours to take! She is leaving with me!” He stabs the knife onto the hand, and it panics and tries to flee, but Neil holds it still, and he grabs the nearby stone, and bashes it onto the arm.

This causes the Prototype to panic, and it uses the strength it has to break free, and it manages to escape and roars and screams in pain. Neil looks to the bottom of the grate and he yells. “Yeah you better run you monster!” Neil then calms down, and puts his knife away.

Neil turns around, and is hugged by a scared and weeping Mommy Long Legs. “He almost got me! He almost got me! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!” Neil smiles, and he hugs her back, and tries to calm her down.

This hug lasts a little longer, and they soon depart. “Thank you, for saving me from the Prototype.”

Neil smiles. “No problem, and I meant what I said. You aren’t going to stay here anymore. I will get you and the others out of here. A Pinky Promise that I will not break.”

This makes Mommy Long Legs nod, and smile. She can trust this one, he’s not like any human, and he’s not an employee of this horrible place. They see the other gate open, and so they step through and try to return to the others at the Game Station.

To be continued…
A/N: It is done, Mommy Long Legs has been saved, and they escaped the Prototype, and now comes the next part, getting out of this horrible place. I hope you guys enjoyed reading this.

Chapter 8: Leaving the Game Station

Chapter Text

He managed to make friends, escape the Prototype, and rescue and help a Giant Pink Spider, and now all they have to do is escape this Factory and make it back to the surface without getting into harms way once again. I hope you all enjoy reading this new one guys.
Saving Playtime.
“Leaving the Game Station.”

Walking through the hallway, and away from the Grinder Room, is Neil Spellman and Mommy Long Legs/Marie Payne. He managed to save her, and restore the memory and name she lost, and now he’s going to accomplish his promise to her, and get them out of this dreaded Factory.

They enter a series of stairs and catwalks, and Neil walks and leaps over some holes, while Mommy Long Legs stretches to the top and waits for him. They go into this hallway, and they see a black VHS Tape, and a Black VCR, and this looks familiar to Neil.

“Oh no. Not this again.” Neil then places it in. “Another recording, involving… The Prototype.” This alarms Mommy Long Legs, and they hear the audio of what happened. The voice of one of the scientists.

"Log Code 08502. In relation: Experiment 1-0-0-6. The Prototype. A close call occurred this week, in which he nearly breached containment.”

“The Prototype seemingly disassembled the digital alarm clock within his room, and utilized the battery along with several other components to create a laser pointer, which he then fired into the security camera, disabling it.”

“These actions allowed him 28.3 seconds completely unmonitored.”

“Once function returned to the camera, the room appeared to be empty. One surveillance specialist went in to confirm his absence.”

“However, upon opening the door, she realized that the Prototype had hidden in one of the camera's blind spots.”

“The Prototype attempted to escape through the open door; however, another surveillance specialist was able to remotely re-lock the door, despite the other specialist still being inside. One casualty occurred.”

“The Prototype seems to possess an unprecedented level of intelligence beyond that of all other test subjects, as well as an alarming willingness to commit violence.”

“Further suppression treatments will need to be enacted to ensure that no other experiments develop these qualities.”

“Experiment 1-1-7-0, 'Huggy Wuggy,' remains the optimal outcome due to his sufficient intelligence paired with maximum obedience. End of log."

The Video ends, and Neil is surprised and he scoffs. “Cunning, Intelligent, Dangerous, Monstrous. What the heck was this Factory trying to make?”

“The People who worked here, they are all monsters” replied Mommy Long Legs. She seems scared, and so Neil rubs her head, and this calms her down. Neil does question about this Prototype, and who made this thing, because he feels whoever made the Prototype, also made the Children into the Giant Toys he has encountered.

Then Neil sees a set of stairs that leads to someplace else and he sees the name and he sighs. “Marie listen to me. I have a plan on how to repair your hand and have it back to normal. We have to go to—”

“The Labs where I was made?” asked Mommy Long Legs.

This surprises Neil. “Wait, you know of the labs?”

Mommy Long Legs nods, and she looks kinda unsettled. “I always see it. Every time, and it hurts to remember everything, and then I stopped seeing it and kept it away, and then lost myself through my insanity of being trapped in here for so long.”

“You don’t have to go, we can find another way if you want” replied Neil.

But Mommy Long Legs shakes her head. “No, we have to go there. There is something there that can help me, and I don’t mean the spare parts.” She sees the door, and takes a breath and calms down, she then opens the door, and they both walk through.

They enter and see all the lights are on, and this startles Mommy Long Legs, and she stays behind Neil. “We don’t have to be here if you don’t want to. Let’s go and—”

“N-No, the thing used to help, is right over there!” Mommy Long Legs closes her eyes, and she sucks up some courage, and she heads down the catwalk, and lifts Neil with her, and they make it to the bottom, and avoid going near the bed where she was made.

Neil sees the barrel, and he opens it and sees the Red Gel inside. “What in the heck is this?” He then sees Mommy Long Legs unravel her bandaged hand, and she is still concerned about her damaged hand, and she dips it into the gel, and then she waits a few seconds, and Neil is confused. “What are you doing? What is this stuff?”

“You’ve read some files about the Poppy Flower, correct? This is Poppy Gel, and it is responsible for our creation, and also…” Mommy Long Legs removes her hand, and it’s as good as new. “Helps heal our injuries, but only if the injuries are fatal.” This surprises Neil and he touches her hand, and she giggles. “All done, and better.” She moves her fingers and she sees Neil is still shocked.

“This Factory is one messed up place with so many surprises.”

“Tell me about it” replied Mommy Long Legs. They both head out of the labs, and back up the catwalks, and Neil does look back and is disgusted by the labs and everything within, they both head up some more stairs, and then they open the door, and they’re now at the main observation deck, right above the entire Game Station.

Neil looks down, and he can see Huggy Wuggy, Bunzo Bunny, the Four Mini Wuggies and PJ Pug-a-Pillar playing around, and just having fun. Mommy Long Legs also smiles seeing this. “You gave them hope, and befriended them. Changed them to become better, and different.”

“I just came here with different intentions, but now it’s all changed” replied Neil.

That one confuses Mommy Long Legs, and then she remembers something. “Right Poppy and the Last Piece of the Train Code. This way, Neil.” She leads Neil to one of the security rooms, and there’s one with an open door, and they both go inside, and see the Train Code, and a webbed up Poppy Playtime.

Neil goes over, and he sees Mommy Long Legs removing the webs, and she takes the Train Code, and now Poppy is free. She does look to the Giant Pink spider. “Why is she here? Why didn’t you kill her?”

This surprises Neil. “You want me to kill a child?!”

That startles Poppy. “W-What?”

“Her name is Marie Payne! She is Mommy Long Legs because of those lab coated morons! I am not killing her or the others because they’re all still children!” yelled Neil, his yelling can be heard by the others at the Game Station, and then he calms down.

“Poppy. I have learned the truth about how they came to be, and I am sorry that they all had to suffer, but I will not kill them. They don’t deserve to die after all they have suffered and been through. But you wanting her dead, well that just makes things sound personal now doesn’t it?”

Poppy is surprised to hear this man speak against her, then Mommy Long Legs speaks. “He saved Mommy, from the Prototype, and he hurt the monster and it fled.”

That one surprises Poppy, and then Neil shows his knife which has some blood, and some oil and metal shards. “It came. It tried to get Marie. I stabbed it. It fled like a coward. Any other questions?”

Poppy is surprised by this, and she thinks about this. “That is very interesting. You’re stronger than I thought.” She then heads into the vent. “Board the Train. We need to leave now.” This makes Neil sigh, and he ignores the documents in the room.

“Are you okay, Neil?” asked Mommy Long Legs, and she looks concerned.

Neil smiles and nods. “I’m alright. We can finally get out of here, but we need to speak to the others, alright?” Mommy Long Legs nods, and they both leave the room, and Mommy Long Legs grabs Neil and she brings them both below, and this surprises the group of Toys.

Huggy Wuggy sees Neil placed down, and he hugs him. Then Bunzo, and then the Mini Wuggies, and then PJ Pug-a-Pillar wraps himself around them and he laughs. “Wow. You guys missed me. Well, I missed you guys too.” They depart from the hug and they see Mommy Long Legs return to the size as seen on the cutouts.

“Fellas, this is Marie Payne, or as you all see to her called, Mommy Long Legs—”

“Please, Mommy only want you to call me by Mommy’s real name. Mommy would rather have everyone else call her, as Mommy. If that’s alright with everyone else.” Neil looks to the others, and they all nod, and agree.

Huggy goes towards Mommy Long Legs and he hugs her, and then Bunzo followed by the Mini Wuggies, and with PJ Pug-a-Pillar wrapped around them, and this startles Mommy Long Legs, but she hugs them all and cries. Neil sees this as a touching scene, and then he pulls a blanket from his backpack, and he places it onto the ground.

The Toys notice this, and he sets up some food. “Come on, let’s eat before we leave.” They all like the idea, and Neil has a pack of Beef Jerky and he tosses it and PJ grabs it and barks, and he keeps playing Jerky throw with PJ.

The others snack on some sandwiches, and nuts he packed, and even trail mix. Mommy Long Legs is handed a container with strawberries and she shares them with the rest, and she sees how happy everyone is, something she hasn’t seen in a long, long time.

Then Mommy Long Legs looks towards Neil and she asks. “Where do you live?”

Neil stops, and he pets the head of PJ. “A Large Home, an estate really. Outside of town, and belonged to my grandparents and they passed it onto me after they passed away. I used to live in an apartment building, but then I was told about their will and they pass the Estate to me.”

“I know why you’re asking, and calm down. I have the wealth to help you guys and support all of you. The backyard is big, and has a lot of space, and there are plenty of spare rooms for everyone to stay in, and also my office where I do my work and which I don’t want anyone to go inside.”

“So, is that one of the rules at your home?” asked Mommy Long Legs.

“I guess it is” replied Neil, and he eats a sandwich, and then Mommy Long Legs notices her boxed action figure still in his backpack, and something else comes to her mind, and even Huggy Wuggy knows what she wants to talk about next.

“What are you doing here in the Playtime Factory?”

Neil drinks some water, and he sighs. “Guys, let’s be real here. So yes, I am an urban explorer. I like to check out some well-known abandoned places, and see what lurks within, and what other history those abandoned places have.”

“But, I came to this Factory not just to explore… I came here, to complete the collection I bought at the Yard Sale.” This confuses the toys, but some of them recall, Neil got the Mommy Long Legs Action figure from a yard sale from someone who used to work at Playtime.

Neil then grabs the photo and he places it onto the center and they are shocked at what they see. “This is what I came here for. To complete the Smiling Critters Plush set. I am missing, Catnap. I know he got recalled for a good reason, but I know this Factory has one, which have their scents gas removed.”

Huggy Wuggy is at a loss for words, the Mini Wuggies, and Bunzo seem scared, PJ growls, and Mommy Long Legs is wide eyed, and her right eye twitches. Neil can see this, and he can tell that they all don’t like seeing Catnap, and so he explains something else.

“But… The Plans changed.” The Toys look to Neil and he continues. “After witnessing everything, and finding out the truth about… All of you… We’re leaving. This Catnap Plush, means nothing now. We’re leaving Playtime, and I am bringing you guys home with me, and you’ll all have a happy life.”

“I just… I’m sorry that you all became these giant living toys. I’m sorry that you kids have been tormented, and altered and made into something you didn’t choose to be. I’m sorry that you guys had to suffer, and endure all this pain and suffering. You all deserve better.”

They are all touched to hear this, someone from the outside who cares, and wants to take care of them all. They feel like they found someone, whom they can call their family, or their father.

Mommy Long Legs breaks the silence. “Thank you, for saving us… Father.”

This makes Neil smile, and he goes over and hugs all he Toys, and so they return the embrace, and shed some tears, and Neil tries to comfort them.

Poppy Playtime sees this from the nearby vent, and she is baffled by what she heard. ‘All this time. He came this way to find a Catnap Plush, but he’s changed his plans because he knows the toys are children. This… This is what I’ve been looking for, he might not have worked here, but he’s perfect.’

(Later.)

All of them hop onto the carts of the Train, and Huggy joins them as well. Neil heads to the main engine, but then Mommy Long Legs follows him. “Marie? What’s wrong girl?”

“C-Can I ride with you? Mommy knows she should be with the others, but… I just—”

“Alright, come along big girl” replied Neil. This makes Mommy Long Legs smile, and Neil looks back and sees Huggy Wuggy giving him a thumbs up, and they board inside. It seems somewhat cramped, but Mommy Long Legs shifts her size so they won’t be cramped together.

Neil puts the puzzle together, and the Train Code is complete. The switch is revealed and he pulls it, and the train is now slowly leaving the Game Station, and then Mommy Long Legs pulls and makes the train whistle. “I’ve always wanted to do that!”

This makes Neil laugh, and the others are cheering, and they look back and see that they are now leaving the Game Station. To the others, this was their home, but also their prison and now they’re free and are no longer bound to the horrors and pain they had to endure.

“We’re going to be out of here soon guys, and then I’m taking you guys home and giving you all baths!” replied Neil.

“This is so exciting!” cheered Mommy Long Legs. “I wonder how things have changed since we all got abandoned here since 1985.”

Neil is surprised to hear what she said, but then they both hear Poppy on the radio speaker. “I was so scared she'd put me back in that case. But you saved me. You are perfect. Too perfect to lose. I'm sorry. I can't let you leave.”

This makes Neil and Mommy Long Legs wide eyed and shocked, and they speak in unison. “What?” The train changes course, and the others notice that they’re not leaving the factory.

Neil then realizes. “Poppy has control over the rail relay station. God damn it!” He then tries to call out. “Poppy! What are you doing?!”

“Miss Poppy, what is this?! Why did you change the course?! We’re supposed to be leaving this place!” yelled Mommy Long Legs.

“I've never met anyone like you. Hmhm. Do you know how long I've been stuck in that case? Well, too long... I had so much time to think and reflect. Time to figure out exactly what I would do when free. We'll set things right. Terrible things have happened, but I know that whatever I need you to do, you're capable. We will...” then an alarm beeping is heard. “What-?”

The voice of Poppy is gone, and the train is now picking up speed, and this horrifies Neil, Mommy Long Legs and the other Toys. Huggy holds onto the Mini Wuggies, and PJ wraps himself around Bunzo.

The Train keeps moving faster and faster, and at dangerous speeds. Neil pulls onto the brakes, and so Mommy Long Legs helps him, but it’s not working and the train is still picking up speed, and then Neil realizes what’s going to happen.

Mommy Long Legs wraps herself around Neil, and he looks back to the others. “Brace for impact—” The Train is knocked over, like something was beneath the train, and the entire thing rolls and smashes around the tunnels and then comes to a halt and crashes, and everything turns dark.  

Neil slowly opens his eyes, and everything is silent.

He turns his head, and he’s laying on the ground, and he sees the sign.

Then he sees the face of a panicked Mommy Long Legs calling out his name and checking if he’s alright.

Neil turns to the sign again, and it says. “Playcare.” Then everything turns dark again, and the last thing he hears is Mommy Long Legs crying, and calling out his name.

To be continued…
A/N: They crashed, they left the Game Station, and crashed, and have now arrived at the one place the Toys don’t ever wanna return to… Playcare. I hope you guys enjoyed reading this.

Chapter 9: Welcome to Playcare

Chapter Text

After what happened previously, the time has come to try and find a way out of the one place in the Factory that the others don’t ever want to go to, and the new threat to deal with, and so much more. I hope you all enjoy reading this new one guys.
Saving Playtime.
“Welcome to Playcare.”

Everything is blurry, and Neil blinks and he feels he’s being dragged, and he looks to see Mommy Long Legs lifting him up, and then she carries them towards a trash chute, and they both slide in, and everything is dark again.

Neil slowly opens his eyes, and he groans. “Ow. My aching head. What in the heck happened?” He sits up, and looks around at where he is. “Wait, where the heck am I?” He sees, that he’s at a utility closet, and a big one. “What the heck? What happened earlier?”

He then realizes what had happened, but then he gets up and sees a VHS and a VCR, and so he puts it in, and hears it’s another audio recording, a conversation between two staff members, and one of them is named Claire Harper.

Female Scientist: "Alright, Ms. Harper, please explain the situation. Spare no detail."

Claire Harper: "Well, like any night, all the children are getting to sleep. It was peaceful, quiet. CatNap had the red smoke in the room. Then, suddenly, there's this scream. Nightmares happen, I know, but this... I mean, dilated pupils and quivering lips? The way her eyes darted around the room? And I swear, her hand in mine, it felt like her blood was boiling beneath her skin... She saw something too, something horrible! She- I-I'm sorry, I don't mean to..."

Female Scientist: “Ms. Harper, we'll provide the very best care we can offer, you have my word. But this is important. Did Marie happen to describe what she saw?"

Claire Harper: "Yes, a monster she said, said it was...colorless... Gosh, I could feel her poor little heart pounding. For her, it was right there! A-And her movements, they were wild! Arms flailing, legs kicking..."

Female Scientist: "Hmmm..."

Claire Harper: "I... I wanted to talk to her. See how she's doing. I just... I really need to hear her voice right now."

Female Scientist: "That would not be advised, Ms. Harper. There are many concerns we must address at this time. But vitals show normal, and we'll continue to monitor. She'll be okay."

Claire Harper: "NO! Well, pardon me if I'm not comforted by that! Just bring my little girl back to me..."

Hearing this, Neil covers his mouth and has tears, and he sighs. “Claire Harper… I just… I’m sorry.” But then he calms down. “But, I promise. I will take good care of Marie, a pinky promise I will not break, ever!” He then removes the VHS, and decides to keep it.

Neil looks around, and then he hears movement, and the vent above opens, and he sees Mommy Long Legs come through. “YOU’RE AWAKE!” Neil races to her, and they hug each other, though Mommy Long Legs wraps her arms and legs around him.

They depart and Neil chuckles. “I’m glad to see you’re alright, Marie. Thank god.”

Mommy Long Legs wipes away her tears. “I am too. Also, I’m sorry I dragged you down here. I had to, we were being chased by… Catnap.”

Neil is shocked to hear that name. “What?”

“Catnap, a bigger body version, and this is his domain. We have entered his home, and he doesn’t want any of us here. I didn’t have time to look for the others, I had to get you out first, and so I brought us through the trash compactor chute, and then through multiple horrible obstacles and then here. I went out to see if we were being followed, and I believe Catnap has lost interest in us, for now.”

Neil nods. “I see. Also, thanks for saving me.” Neil checks himself with a flashlight, and he sees no cuts and bruises, but he sees a small bandage on his forehead.

“That’s my doing, you had a small cut” replied Mommy Long Legs.

Neil smiles. “Brave girl.” Then he has the VHS. “Marie, you have to see, well hear this.” He places the VHS Tape in, and it plays exactly what he heard, and this makes Mommy Long Legs wide eyed and so Neil holds her hand to calm her down, and she knows that voice, and she now knows the truth, someone did care for her, and wanted to adopt her, but it never happened.

“M-Mom?” Mommy Long Legs starts to shed tears, and so Neil comforts her, and she doesn’t let go of him, and keeps crying. Neil knows this hurts for Marie, knowing that Claire Harper wanted to see her, and also wanted to take care of her like any mother would, and that will never happen, because Claire Harper is gone.

Neil and Mommy Long Legs depart from the hug, and Neil uses a towel to wipe away her tears. “You ready to get moving, Marie?” Mommy Long Legs nods, and she holds his hand, and he guides her out of this room, but then they encounter a cutout of Bubba Bubbaphant.

“Huh, well this is new.” Neil presses the button, and they hear what he has to say.

"I'm Bubba Bubbaphant! Hey! I remember you!"
"An elephant always remembers!"
"Want to know what I remember about you?"

The rest sounds like Bubba Bubbaphant laughing, and then screaming, and then static and it ends. Mommy Long Legs then looks to Neil. “A lot of the cutouts tend to end with screams, but the ones of me… I did that, and removed the sound. Sorry.”

“Hey, it’s alright” replied Neil. They then see that two batteries are needed to open the door and they both look around, but then Mommy Long Legs sees one and she grabs it. Neil spots one high above, and he uses the Grabpack to take it.

They insert the batteries, and now there’s power. Neil uses the blue hand to open the gate, and they walk down the hall. “We need to find the crash site of the train and see if the others are fine!” Mommy Long Legs nods, and they keep running down the hallways.

But then they stop, and they can hear a phone ringing. They enter the room where the ringing is coming from and right there on the wall, a telephone is ringing. “Ummm, is this normal down here?” Mommy Long Legs is startled by this and doesn’t know what’s going on.

Neil answers the phone. “Hello?” The voice of a child can be heard responding.

"Hey, hey! Can you hear me? You look kinda lost. I don't want you to die, so, I'm gonna help you! Check this out. Look at the tube thing on the back wall. Ready?" The battery exits from the tube and Mommy Long Legs picks it up. "Buh-boom! You can use that battery to open the door!"

“Wait, is that Mommy Long Legs with you? How did you make friends with her?” Then he hangs up, and this surprises Neil, and he looks to Mommy Long Legs and she’s also confused. They plug the battery to the wall, and the door can now be opened.

Neil and Mommy Long Legs walk through, and are both horrified with wide eyes, to see the train, it’s all destroyed, and on fire. Then Ollie on the phone speaks again.

"Woah... Did you do that? I guess that's where CatNap found you... I know you're probably mad at Poppy for not letting you escape, but she needs you. We need you. You are our mission! Together, we can save a lot of people! Including you! Playcare is straight ahead. It's the home of CatNap, one of "The Smiling Critters". There used to be...eight of them, I think? Now it's just him. Playcare is his church, his hunting ground. Whatever he wants it to be. You better get moving quickly... We'll keep in touch. Oh, and by the way, my name is Ollie. Nice to meet you!"

Neil drops the phone and completely ignored everything Ollie said, or he did hear him and doesn’t care, and he yells. “KIDS!” Neil and Mommy Long Legs race to the wreckage, but then he stops her. “No! No! Stop, this is fire and you’re Elastic Plastic cannot handle the heat!” Mommy Long Legs wants to protest, but Neil goes into the wreckage, and he looks around, and yells.

“Huggy! Mini’s! PJ! Bunzo! Answer me! Where are you?! Call out, please!” Neil manages to lift debris out of the way, and he keeps searching.

Mommy Long Legs can hear Neil trying his best, and she wants to help him, but then she hears groaning, and sobbing. “Neil, over here!” Neil hears this, and he races to where Mommy Long Legs is headed, and then he stops and his heart sinks.

Huggy Wuggy, is alive with a few bruises and scratches, and he has some tears, and with him, are the remains… The Lifeless corpses of the other Toys!

The Mini Wuggies look torn apart. PJ is half burnt, and half his face destroyed, and Bunzo… His face is disfigured, his body split in half. They didn’t survive the Train Crash and died.

Huggy sits there, hugging his legs and crying. Neil goes down to his knees and also cries, and screams, and same with Mommy Long Legs, the Toys from her Game Station, the Toys she knew and cared for, are now dead.

Neil then cries, and sobs like a mess, and so Huggy Wuggy and Mommy Long Legs go over, and embrace him, all of them in pain after knowing that the other toys, are no more. But deep down, Neil feels like they are finally free, and even though they might not be able to be freed from the factory, they’re souls are free, and they won’t have to remain as toys, forever.

But they are unaware, that Catnap is seeing this and he sighs, and in a way…. Feels bad, that the others are dead, and all because of this train crash, and so he disappears into the darkness, and leaves them alone.

(Later.)

Walking down the tunnel, and away from the graves that have been set, are Neil Spellman, Huggy Wuggy and Mommy Long Legs. All three of them have finished crying and mourning, they spent a mere twenty minutes doing all of that. Now, they look stern and ticked off.

Because they can only know one person who is responsible for all of this, responsible for changing everything and they’re chance to be free and live. POPPY PLAYTIME!

The trio arrive to the station, which leads into Playcare, and then Neil asks. “How long have you guys not been here?”

“Very long, we would never set foot in here, it’s too dangerous and Catnap lurks within these ruined shadows” replied Mommy Long Legs, and even Huggy agrees. “Despite the fact Huggy and Mommy are both strong, Catnap uses the shadows, stealth and ambush to hunt his prey. We should be careful, he could be anywhere.”

Neil nods, and he’s glad Huggy still has his Grabpack, and Neil brought the phone with him, and they already explained to Huggy about this kid Ollie, and this confuses Huggy because he didn’t think there would be a kid somewhere in Playcare still alive.

They then see a security room, and venture into the power room, and there Neil is confused by the power source puzzle since it looks different, but Huggy has seen this before and he shows him how it’s done, and they now have power within the station of Playcare.

The Trio leave the rooms, and then head through the gates and towards Playcare, and they have to enter the Dome, and through Elliot Express. But then they see the cutout of KickinChicken. Neil pushes the button to hear what he says.

"Hey, I'm KickinChicken! Wanna go outside and hang out?"
"It's lookin' pretty rad outside!"
"I've... never been outside before."
"Will you come with me? I'm scared..."
"Here, follow me. I'll step out first."

The sounds of screaming are heard, and then it ends. “Sounds like they’re dying” replied Neil, and then they leave towards the cable car, which would lead them inside, and Mommy Long Legs knows this part, and she stretches her arms to flip both switches and the cable cars doors open.

The trio enter, and the doors close. The Cable Car shakes a bit, and then slowly moves. Then a recording is heard over the speakers, and even a TV turns on, and the voice is none other than someone Huggy and Mommy hasn’t heard in a long time, the founder of Playtime, Elliot Ludwig.

Elliot Ludwig: "Hello. My name is Elliot Ludwig."

A portrait of Elliot—his face censored—appears on the TV, with "Elliot Ludwig - Founder of Playtime Co." below it. Neil is confused. ‘Why would they do to his image? He’s the founder? Why do this?’

"When you look around at the world today, what one thing do you think it needs more of? I asked around once: "Money, I never have enough." "Understanding, I can never get any." "Faith, the common man has lost it." Each answer was different... and I could perhaps see some little truth in each. But I think each was also missing something. Something... simple."

In a large cave system, a giant dome—the cable car's destination—comes into view. Huggy and Mommy Long Legs seem nervous going through here, and Neil understands why.

"You see, not one of them could muster a smile... (brief pause) A smile is hope. A smile is love. A smile is understanding. And there is nothing more gratifying to my soul than being the reason for a child's smile. To be the spark that ignites all their hopes and dreams. For it is only through hopes and dreams that we may create a better world. One where our children need not be afraid. One where they are protected. After all, this company and its toys are nothing without them. These children deserve to smile, they deserve to love, and they deserve a safe... home."

After passing through a cloud of red smoke, the cable car enters The Dome, the location which within is called, Playcare.

"That is why it is with enormous pleasure that as the founder of Playtime Co., I announce... PLAYCARE! Our very own onsite orphanage. But it's not only that. It's a school, a playhouse, a place to belong. Our very own ecosystem beneath the surface, dedicated in every inch and detail to ensuring a child's smile. It's teachers and counselors, mothers and fathers, until such a time they have all of that in you. May Playcare bring joy, inspiration, and smiles to all who enter these doors! For what gives life its meaning, if not a smile?"

Neil is at awe seeing Playcare which is way bigger than the Game Station, and the many buildings there are, but he knows that this is all a messed-up setup, for the children who were once orphans here, not knowing they were to be experimented. The cable car stops, and so the trio get out.

Then the phone rings, and he knows it’s Ollie and so he answers it, and they all hear Ollie speaking. "Psst. It's me again, Ollie. Cool place, right? The kids used to live here. Now look at it..."

Neil then speaks. “I doubt this horrid place would be a cool place, Ollie.”

Then Ollie keeps talking for some reason. "Anyways, do you see that statue in the middle of the room? Take the stairs that go under it. There's a really cool room in there that powers literally all of Playcare! I can give you a key down there."

They enter the center, and see the statues and the Catnap one has fallen over. Neil goes towards the door, and he opens it and goes inside, leaving Huggy and Mommy Long Legs alone above, and watching over what might be around.

Neil goes down the stairs, and ignores everything because he just wants this over with so they can leave. Neil then sees this locker, and he opens it and a blue key, slides down, and he picks it up. “What in the heck?” Then Ollie is heard on the phone.

"So, you got the key. Now the question you're probably asking yourself is: 'Where does it go?' Well, head back out, and you should find a door just to the left of the cable car you took down here."

Neil returns back to the surface, and he walks back to the Cable Car, and so Huggy and Mommy Long Legs follow him, and they see the door. Though, Huggy and Mommy Long Legs don’t feel comfortable about this, and so Neil unlocks and opens the door.

The trio go through the hallway, and Neil grabs the poster of Mommy Long Legs wearing a gas mask, to which Mommy Long Legs is confused by the poster, and she feels like it’s familiar. They do spot some scratch marks everywhere, and the doors, clear signs that Catnap was here.

They enter the room, and this place is something Mommy Long Legs knows. “Wait, wait. This is the Gas Production Zone! What the heck are we doing in here?!”

Neil is also confused, and then he looks around and sees the size of this place is massive. Then he hears the phone ring, and Ollie speaks again.

"Welcome to the Gas Production Zone, the beating heart of the whole evil Playcare system. All that gas you see coming from the machine is made right here in the factory. It's called 'The Red Smoke'. Right now, it's all headed off to the right. We need to make that Red Smoke go left instead. That's how we can get to him. The machine will probably have a few dumb safeguards for you to work around, but I think you can do it. I'll call you once it's done."

Neil sees Mommy Long Legs is shaking in fear being here, and so he goes over and tries to comfort her. “Calm down, Marie. Calm down. We have to get through this, it’s the only way for all of us to get out of this place. Alright?” Mommy Long Legs musters her courage, and she nods.

They walk around and look for a way to restore the power to the computer, and to try and get the gas transferred to the directions from what Ollie said. Neil then sees a door, and enters, and he looks around and sees this large mechanical structure holding something down.

Neil then spots the green battery and he grabs it, and heads to where it’s needed and he manages to open the door and he goes inside, and spots something. “What the heck? A new hand?! What?!” Neil goes over, but he sees it’s attached to a new kind of Grabpack, and so he takes off the old one and wears the new one which has the purple hand, and also comes with a green hand.

Neil then sees a green VHS Tape, and he sees a VCR and a TV, and he puts it in and sees, it’s a tutorial on how to use the Purple Hand, and swapping hands depending on what is needed.

“Grabpack 2. 0 Prototype. Extended Wire length. Swapping Hands. Air jets to break long falls.” Neil looks to what he’s wearing. “Well, this sure is something. Alright time to go and check on Marie and Huggy.” Neil leaves the room, and he doesn’t see them anymore. “Kids?”

“Up here.” Neil looks up and sees Huggy and Mommy Long Legs above him, and they wave. They then point to the purple hand print below, and so Neil uses the Purple hand, and he is spring boarded up and lands next to them.

“Whoa. This is… Whoa!” He then notices what Huggy is wearing. “Oh you found a new Grabpack too? Awesome.” Huggy nods, and they make their way down some utility hallways, and encounter more of the purple hand print jumping obstacles, and just parkour throughout the whole thing and try to reach the other side, and avoid the water and red smoke.

Thankfully, Mommy Long Legs can just crawl on the walls and avoid all of this with ease. But they soon encounter another Power Outlet puzzle, with the new mechanics turning power transfer poles. But thanks to the team work of Neil and Huggy Wuggy, they manage to get the power online.

The trio make it back to the main computer, and they see the computer is online, and so Neil pushes the button, and they watch as the Red Smoke is transferred to the next empty container, but then the power goes out. “What in the heck?! Why?!”

Huggy Wuggy hisses, and Mommy Long Legs looks around in panic, then they get startled when Ollie calls them. "Oh no! Someone killed the power. Okay, I sent you another key. It's under the statue. Use it to get into Home Sweet Home. Then once you're inside, find the building's backup generator. Good luck!"

Hearing that name, Home Sweet Home makes Huggy and Mommy Long Legs surprised and they are concerned about what could happen… They then see Neil leave the Gas Production Zone, and so they follow him and he’s at the statue and he goes inside, and so they follow him.

Neil comes out from the door, and he has the key. He then looks to Home Sweet Home, and he sighs, and gets ready to enter, but then Huggy Wuggy and Mommy Long Legs get in the way. “What are you two doing?”

“What on earth are you doing?!” asked Mommy Long Legs, a combination of fear and anger. “You’re just going to walk into Home Sweet Home and not even tell us?!” Huggy Wuggy doesn’t growl, but he whimpers and this is a clear sign that they are both worried for him.

“I just… I just want this to be over with. I want us all to leave, and never come back here. We were all supposed to leave, and I made a promise, but that’s slowly breaking because the others are dead!” Neil wipes away some tears. “We have to get this stupid power back on, and get that stupid gas transferred, and then find Poppy and get her to explain why she did all of this and then leave together!”

Mommy Long Legs and Huggy Wuggy now understand why he wans to rush this and end it. “We do it together, we don’t leave each other be and fight this together. Please, let us help you so we can leave together. The others, they would’ve wanted this.”

Neil goes closer to them, and he embraces both Mommy Long Legs and Huggy Wuggy. They also hug him and have tears. They don’t even notice, Catnap seeing them from the roof of Home Sweet Home, and he disappears into the shadows, and enters the orphanage itself.

The group depart from the hug. Neil looks to the two large toys. “Don’t come with me in there.” That surprises Huggy Wuggy and Mommy Long Legs. Before they can even protest, he explains why. “I don’t wanna lose more of you. You two are the only living toys part of this still standing, strong and alive. Please, don’t come along with me.”

Mommy Long Legs and Huggy Wuggy want to come with him, but they look back to Home Sweet Home and then back to Neil. “Please, stay near the Statue at the Center of Playcare, and if something is coming, then take refuge in the utility room beneath the statue. Alright? I’ll be back, and then we can finish this damned objective.”

Huggy Wuggy goes over, and hugs Neil again, and he returns the hug to the big blue hairy toy. They depart and then Neil goes to Mommy Long Legs, and he wipes away some of her tears. “Stay hidden, and stay safe. Have each other’s backs, and don’t let anything else get to you both.”

Mommy Long Legs nods. “Please come back to us, and stay safe. We don’t want to lose you.” Neil does hand her a bag of trail mix, and two bottles of water, something to keep themselves sustained while they wait for him to come back.

Neil smiles, and he kisses her forehead. “You two have been trying to kill me since I got here. I’ve been through worse, and I will come back. That is a Pinky Promise.” Mommy Long Legs giggles hearing this, and the two big toys watch as Neil makes his way towards the orphanage.

Neil goes up the stairs, and is now right in front of the Orphanage. He takes a moment to catch his breath and he sighs, and drinks a bottle of water. “Alright, let’s do this thing.” He looks back to Huggy Wuggy and Mommy Long Legs and waves to them, to which they wave back.

The Two Toys make their way to the Statues at the Center of Playcare, and Neil looks to the doors, he pushes them and goes inside, ready to brave whatever horrors lie within.

To be continued…
A/N: This just got worse, and now they must deal with whatever the hell does Playcare have in store, if they are to escape the Factory they need to move the one obstacle in their way, and they’re in his domain now. I hope you guys enjoyed reading this.

Chapter 10: Home Sweet Home

Chapter Text

The first task to deal with, is at the orphanage responsible for harboring kids who would soon face the real horrors, but the truth behind many more horrors are about to be revealed. Welcome to Home Sweet Home. I hope you all enjoy reading this new one guys.
Saving Playtime.
“Home Sweet Home.”

The doors open, and his footsteps heard throughout this building and he stops. Neil looks around and is surprised by the way the start of this looks. “Huh, the interior is well designed. I am impressed, heck this would’ve made a nice house for a family, or possibly a decent motel.”

But then Neil sees the remains of a CatBee, and another Toy hanging above. He can tell, he’s going to be seeing many more dead toys as he enters this horrific place. “Well, let’s get this nightmare done with—” He enters another room, but he is exposed to the Red Smoke. “Oh no.”

Neil tries to hold his breath, and he uses his flashlight to try and see through the Red Smoke, unaware that Catnap walks right behind him, and then disappears. Neil walks through the fog of Red Smoke, and he sees another hallway and he goes down the stairs and tries to catch his breath.

“Right, I didn’t find or bring a gas mask.” He doesn’t know, he already inhaled Red Smoke which means the effects are slowly taking hold, and so he goes down the hallway, and he checks each door, but they won’t open. Neil then continues down this hallway, and sees a junction and the radio on the table with static.

But he looks to the ground, and there are worse carved into the wooden floor that say.

HAPPY AND FUN. WHY WAS IT DONE?

Neil then turns right, and goes down the hallway, but then he stops and sees something is wrong, he’s at the same junction and the radio is now online and he hears an announcement on the radio.

"Tragic news this morning. As of 9:45 AM, local authorities report that the body of a young boy has been found on the estate of the late Elliot Ludwig, an esteemed toy maker and originator of the Playtime Company. At this time, an identity for the child awaits official confirmation. Found in an upstairs bedroom in a large duffel bag, officers on-scene report that the remains appeared to have been disturbed. Organs as well as key bones from the skeletal structure were reported missing from the body. It is unknown at this time whether this extraction was, in fact, the cause of death."

Neil is shocked to hear about this news, but then he looks around. “Wait, wait. Wasn’t I here before? What the heck?” He then takes a right again, and through the hallway, but he once again encounters the same junction and the same radio, the same words on the ground. “Okay, what the hell is this?!” Then the Radio continues.

"Following recent events, Playtime Co. was asked for any comment regarding the discovery. This is what they said to say, quote: "It's sickening. Elliot Ludwig was a great man, and those who knew him understood that he was not capable of violence, let alone what others now claim. He had a deep love in his heart for children like this one, making the actions of whoever planted this body all the more sick. We look forward to clearing his good name, both in the public eye and in the eyes of the law." STAY TUNED FOR MORE..."

Neil is still baffled by the fact he’s back at the same junction. But then he realizes what’s happening. ‘Oh, the Red Smoke. So, that’s why Marie was afraid of the Red Smoke… This is some kind of hallucination fear or shock tactic creation. Did they also turn Red Smoke into the Red Gel?’

Neil then hears a phone ringing, and then he realizes he doesn’t have the phone with him, and so he goes to this room and answers the phone, where he hears Ollie speak. “You need to run!” Then it hangs up.

Neil is confused, but he turns around and for a brief moment he sees Catnap at the door, and he disappears. Neil goes back to the hallway, with no signs of Catnap, and so he does as Ollie says, and goes down the hallway, but this time turning left.

Neil keeps encountering the same junction as he turns left, and he keeps hearing the radio talking more about the news, and he just keeps going left and is stuck in a loop, but he knows this loop has to end soon.

"Despite Playtime's proclamation of Ludwig's innocence, many believe his reclusive and mysterious nature displayed over the previous decades lends suspicion to this claim. When questioned, Ludwig's neighbors indicated that he would often return to his home in strange hours of the night, and depart again before sunrise. Some believed he was sick, others, that-- DON'T MOVE. DON'T MOVE AN INCH. --Playtime Co., it seems, intends to keep Elliot's name within its brand regardless. What is sure to be a long legal battle will follow."

Neil then takes a right turn, and then down the left hall, and is now in a loop, scratch marks on the ground, and then he sees Catnap and takes the hallway he keeps fading to. But then he stops when he hears the radio, and he can hear it in reverse, and so he pulls out his cell phone and records everything.

Neil waits for the whole thing to finish on the radio, and he doesn’t even know Catnap is standing behind him, and pretty soon the radio finishes, and he listens to the sound, but reverses the reverse radio sound.

"I find your presence intrusive. After all this time you return. You come in here and you kill and murder; you pillage and destroy! Your presence was demanded 10 years ago and you didn't show up. 8/8/1995. You were supposed to be here. Why weren't you here? You missed the event, you missed the meeting, you missed the party! YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO BE HERE. 8/8/1995."

Neil is confused by what this means. “What?! What the heck are you talking about? I don’t even work here.” He turns around and is startled by Catnap and he disappears, and is walking down the hall, and so Neil gives chase, and tries to catch up to him.

But he sees more words carved into the ground that says “GUILT HAUNTS YOU” But he ignores it, and then he stops and hears the sounds of children laughing, and some crying, and then someone speaks to him repeating the words. “Get up.”

Neil continues through the hallway, and he reaches a room, he enters and sees several beds, and a TV and VCR on the Desk, and so he puts the tape in, and hears whatever is recorded. “This had better be good.”

"Greetings, Employees, and welcome to your first day here in Playtime! We're certain that in the days to come, you'll find your new family here every bit as loving and supportive as your own. Feel free to wander the halls. Sit in the mess for lunch! Or watch our children play and learn to their little heart's content. Join the Innovationists, where the bounds of science are continuously pushed! Or join the Counselors of Playcare, whose diligence and care for our children will help shape a brighter future, just you see... Now, every one of you has your part in that future, so should you come back tomorrow feeling unhappy for where you are, or what you've done... worry not, for your supervisor is here and happy to listen! And... should you come back... years later... your conscience finally getting the better of you..."

The image of Huggy Wuggy slowly fades to black, and then reveals a nightmarish version with black eyes and sharp teeth. Neil is confused, and doesn’t know why he can’t look away and the nightmare Huggy image is suddenly getting closer to the screen.

"May you descend into the dark and the dust, finding all that awaits you are incomprehensible horrors... each hungry for your return, each eager that they may find you. Perhaps they'd smile at you from a shadow, their smiling mouths full of teeth and meat and plastic, watching and waiting patiently for their turn at a warm welcome... Or perhaps, they won't allow you such time to figure your place in the world you'd left. A world that's theirs now. Welcome home."

And then the nightmarish Huggy slowly crawls out of the TV, and Neil backs away and is shocked. “Oh my God!” The nightmarish Huggy Wuggy looks to Neil and goes towards him, but he doesn’t run and is too scared to move, and then everything fades to dark as he gets eaten by the monster.

Neil suddenly opens his eyes and he wakes up from sleep. He realizes it was all just a dream, or a nightmare, and the room he’s in was once riddled with Red Smoke. ‘Wait, wait… So, I blacked out when I came through? That was all just a dream I saw?’

Neil does cough and some red smoke comes out of his mouth. “Well, that’s not good. Looks like I did inhale this red smoke.” Neil suddenly feels kinda tired, and so he opens a door and stumbles a bit and he keeps on going and finding some way to start the power.

Neil goes down the hall, and he makes it to a large open area of the orphanage, and he ignores the other cutouts. Neil then musters his strength and he walks around and sees a hole with a gas mask and he picks it up. “This would’ve been more useful if it was at the entrance of this place.”

Neil then goes down the hole, and sees Red Smoke up ahead, he puts on the gas mask and ventures through where he encounters this large Toy Car. He pulls on the string at the back, and it races off smashing the wall and making an opening. “Huh, weirdly convenient to have this thing here.”

Neil keeps going, encountering a purple hand print to jump, and he enters the laundromat of the orphanage and he looks around and checks for any dangers. Neil keeps on going through different areas, and move aside some debris to walk through, he then removes his gas mask knowing that the red smoke is not around.

Neil wanders around, and doesn’t bother with the VCR, and he almost encounters Catnap and doesn’t bother to follow him. Neil leans against the wall, and he has some tears, and is feeling tired after what he had to endure at the start of this place. But he gets back up, and he has to get this done. ‘For the kids, come on asshole. Get up and finish this, and then get the hell out of here!’

Throughout the journey down this wretched orphanage, he tries to turn on the power, and switch the night setting of the place to daytime, and he doesn’t even notice one of the rooms, has Kissy Missy on a bed and looking at the photo of a child in her hands.

Neil just continues finding batteries, and relaying the power to get everything all over Playcare back into full operation again if they are to escape this place. Finding more pull back race cars, and sending them crashing to make clearings, and discovering large monitor-purpose Bobby Bearhug statues.

Sounds of giggling, and footsteps, an entire room filled with cribs, and then finding a PickyPiggy Cutout, which he pushes the button and hears what she has to say.

"Hi there! I'm PickyPiggy, let's eat!"
"Roast beef? Delicious!"
"Grilled chicken? Down the hatch!"
"Seared elephant? Yum!"
"Flayed unicorn? Mmmm...!"
"Still hungry... Hey, what do you say you and I be friends?"

Neil is surprised by this, and so he walks away from this. ‘Was she talking about eating her friends? What the heck is wrong with some of these Smiling Critters! At least this one didn’t scream like a bat out of hell!’

Neil just continues his mission, to find more batteries, transferring the power, and it sorta makes him feel kinda tired like he can’t keep going. But every time, he just keeps thinking about the Two only Bigger Body Toys still alive, waiting for him, and that gives him a reason to keep on going, for them, for all of them to get away from this Factory and go home.

He avoids the gas using the gas mask, and surprised to see some Red Smoke in the areas, which means Catnap was here, and then encountering a Huggy Wuggy cutout again, and he pushes the button and hears what he has to say.

"A hug a day keeps the monsters away!"
"Two hugs a day is better in every way!"
"Hugging forever, hugs are nonstop."
"I'm gonna hug you until you pop."

Hearing this makes Neil smile. “When I get back, I’m giving you a hug buddy.” Neil continues on his journey, now motivated by the voice of the cutout, and not even noticing a box on the ground, with an unopened toy, a plush of Catnap.

Neil manages to get the last battery inside, and he hears a rooster crow, and it means the daytime mode has been set, and the Power through the entire Playcare is now back online, and he sighs in relief, and makes his way back to the ground level to leave this wretched building, and he doesn’t even notice the eyes watching him from the doors, small white eyes staring.

Neil enters a vent, and then into a room, and sees the beds and medical stuff, and so he grabs whatever medical supplies he needs, and sees what he can use for when they do get hurt, and he doesn’t even know he has some cuts on his arms. But doesn’t bother, because what matters are the kids outside waiting.

Neil takes his leave, and goes down the hall and sees Catnap passing by and doesn’t bother, and then enters the cribs room. He makes it to the center of the building, and the main lobby of Home Sweet Home, and he sees a door that needs his blue hand, and it leads him to the power generator room.

Once again, he has to complete the advanced electric circuit outlet and source puzzle, and thanks to memory, he recalls how it’s done thanks to how Huggy does it, and he manages to complete every single trial involving the electricity, and this means the power is restored, but he looks out the window and sees it’s still dark out.

“Must be a system outside that needs to be triggered. Well, I did what I could here, now’s the time for me to head back to Huggy and Marie, and then get that stupid gas transferred and then get the hell out of here.” Neil heads for the main door, but then he stops and lays on the ground for a while.

Neil blinks, coughs out some red smoke, and sees some blood on his hand after he wipes his mouth, and he sees the face of Catnap looking at him and then leaving with several smaller critters, and then everything turns to black.

To be continued…
A/N: The Power is back online, but the Red Smoke has been inhaled, and now we wait to see what will happen before he continues onward, and tries to get everyone else out of this horror show. I hope you guys enjoyed reading this.

Chapter 11: Confronting that Doll

Chapter Text

So much has already happened, and it is a grueling nightmare, but the time has come to restore the power, and confront the Doll who caused this change of course from the start. Time to confront Poppy Playtime! I hope you all enjoy reading this new one guys.
Saving Playtime.
“Confronting that Doll!”

Everything is blurred and muffled, and Neil slowly wakes up and tries to stand up, he feels like going back to sleep, but a sound echo into his ears, the sound of Huggy shrieking, and Mommy Long Legs screaming, and this gives him the motivation to get up.

Neil manages to stand, and he’s back at where he collapsed, and he makes his way out of Home Sweet Home, and he looks around for any signs of whatever might come, and then he’s tackled to the ground by Kissy Missy, but then Poppy Playtime shows up, and she stops Kissy Missy.

“No! No! Let him go! He’s not the enemy! He’s here to—”

They hear this angry roar, and Mommy Long Legs tackles Poppy and pins her to the wall, this surprises Kissy Missy, and she tries to stop her, but Huggy Wuggy pins her to the wall, and screams and roars at her face, startling Kissy Missy.

Poppy struggles to break free, but her body is now webbed up again. “Wait, let me go please!”

“What did you do?!” yelled an enraged Mommy Long Legs. But then they see, Neil is unconscious. “No!” She goes to check on him, and so does Huggy. They try to get him to wake up, and Kissy sees how much this person means to Mommy Long Legs and Huggy Wuggy.

Mommy Long Legs holds his face, and tries to see if he’s alive. “He’s breathing! Thank goodness.” She then changes to enraged, and she looks to Poppy who is stuck on the wall. “Do you realize what you have done?!” Huggy also shrieks at her for what had happened.

But it seems like Poppy is unaware of her actions, and then they hear groaning and Neil sits up. “Did anyone catch the license plate on that ape?” This alarms Huggy Wuggy and Mommy Long Legs, and they both embrace him and shed tears, this surprises Neil and he hugs them too and also has tears.

“I’m glad you guys are okay.”

“We thought we lost you! You took a long time in there!” cried Mommy Long Legs, they depart from the hug, and she asks. “What happened to you?” They see the bruises, and some injuries on him. “Was it… Catnap?”

Neil sighs, and he nods. “He got me, several times… Red Smoke, and I passed out, several times.” Neil tries to stand up, and he feels some pain on his sides and back. “I kept seeing, these dreams or hallucinations, or something. I don’t know why it would show me that. I don’t even work here, I never did.”

Kissy Missy is surprised to hear this, and she sees Huggy cross his arms and nod. Neil then continues. “Then I got the power back on, but when I was facing those hallucinations, I encountered… A nightmarish Huggy Wuggy.” This startles Huggy. “But, I knew it wasn’t him.”

Neil looks to the two Bigger Body Toys. “You both are the reason I came back. I just… I couldn’t leave you two down here alone. I made a god damn promise, and I’d be damned to hell if I break that promise. We’re getting out of here, with or without—” He looks to Poppy, and he is pissed off. “You!”

“Wait, wait. Let me explain, I needed you. We needed you!” Poppy tries to break free, and so Mommy Long Legs grabs her. “Wait, put me down, please!”

“Not a chance!” yelled Mommy Long Legs. “You don’t even know what you did!”

This confuses the Living Doll, and even Kissy Missy doesn’t know what’s going on, and then Neil yells. “You killed them!” Silence is left, and this shocks Poppy. “They’re dead, because you changed the tracks and brought us down here to crash, burn and die!”

“Bunzo! The Mini Wuggies! PJ Pug-a-Pillar! All of them are dead because you wanted us to come to Playcare, when I clearly changed my plans to just leave with the Toys! Because of you, they will never experience the outside! They will never experience freedom! Now they’re gone.”

“Are you happy now Poppy Playtime?! You’ve become exactly what the others have become, a murder machine Toy!” Poppy gasps hearing this, she didn’t know about the others, she now sees why there is only Huggy Wuggy and Mommy Long Legs. Neil walks closer to Poppy. “You make me sick!”

But then Neil calms down. “But, we’re gonna need you alive if we’re all to escape, and that includes you Kissy Missy.” Hearing this surprise, her and he goes closer. “Don’t think I didn’t notice you back in there. I chose not to disturb you, because you seemed to be in your own place of pain at the time.”

Then Mommy Long Legs speaks. “You’ve been through a lot, and same with the rest of us. Neil here, wants to help us leave this factory, to leave the nightmares, to leave this prison, and to leave alone the horrors we had to face. You can come with us too, Kissy.”

Kissy Missy is unsure about this, but then Huggy Wuggy holds her hand, and he smiles and nods. This makes Kissy have tears, and she hugs him. Then Neil hugs them both, followed by Mommy Long Legs, and Kissy sobs as she embraces them all.

And, to make sure this is not interrupted, the mouth of Poppy is webbed up again.

They depart from the hug and look to Poppy who is still webbed up and picked up by Mommy Long Legs, and they remove the web from her mouth. “Talk, now!” replied the giant pink spider. But they instead see Kissy Missy walking towards a panel, and they follow her.

Kissy hands Neil a key, Neil uses it on the panel and it reveals the hidden lift, and so they all board onto it. Then Poppy starts talking. “Listen to me, I am not your enemy and I’m sorry the others died! I didn’t think that would happen—” Neil slams his fist to the metal rail, and it bends from the impact.

The others don’t blame him, after what Poppy did, they’re also furious. Kissy on the other hand, she whimpers, she didn’t know the Mini Wuggies from Game Station would be coming, and now all four of them are dead.

Poppy then continues. “Look, you might not have worked here, but we need you! What happened down here is bigger than any of us. We need you to get revenge on all the monsters who tortured us for all these years in the factory, and they didn’t work alone—”

“We get it, they’re all disciples of the Prototype” replied an annoyed Mommy Long Legs. “So, what? This is your plan? Have Neil go and face the Prototype and see the meaning of death and hell?!”

 The lift reaches the platform, Kissy shows Neil the button, and so he pushes it and the lights and power to Playcare have been restored. Neil sighs. “Poppy. I am not going to play these stupid games of yours. What you did is unforgivable and I didn’t come to this place to die. I am not the one you seek, because the real person is a former Playtime employee, and he left the town.”

The Lift goes back down, and he sees a double white door near the dome, and it is barred up with wooden planks, and he sees the name on it. “Emergency Medical and Spare Parts Room.” This gives Neil an idea, to check out the place.

Poppy then speaks. “the Prototype won’t let you all leave. He’ll kill you all before you can even get out of the Factory. He's the reason I was trapped in that... god-awful case for so long! You have no idea the things he's done! Let me help you kill him! Let me help you save everyone. We've all seen you, how capable you are.”

“I am still surprised that you didn’t kill these two.” This makes Huggy Wuggy and Mommy Long Legs look annoyed, and want to end this doll. “But you have proven to be quite strong, and capable of handling whatever comes your way. You’re perfect for this, and you have to help me stop the Prototype once and for all!”

The lift reaches the bottom, and they hear a rattling sound somewhere in Playcare. “Catnap is here, he is the final obstacle to the prototype…”

Neil then grabs the phone and walks away with the others following. “Marie, make sure Poppy doesn’t speak or do anything stupid. I’m getting sick and tired of hearing her voice.”

This makes Mommy Long Legs giggles. “Gladly.” She webs her mouth and keeps on carrying her. Neil then gets a call from the phone and he answers it.

"Hey, Hey! It's me again! It seems like Poppy explained everything now... And she turned on the dome's backup power! Now the plan from here is pretty simple: we need to restore power to the Gas Production Zone!"

Neil sighs. “We just wanna leave kid, so just tell me what I have to do to get this place powered up and for us to leave.” Neil does hand Kissy Missy two sandwiches, and she eats them and then Huggy hands her a bottle of water.

“Okay, okay. First, go back to the Home Sweet Home building you were just in! You should be able to find a big power cord somewhere around the porch! Grab it, and plug it in underneath the statue!"

Neil does so, and he goes near the orphanage which now has all the lights turned on. Neil sees the cord, and he pulls it out and drags the incredibly long cord. “Jeez, this is like something used for power plants.” Huggy and Kissy also help carry the cord.

They make sure it doesn’t get tangled, and they reach the room below the statues, and they plug it in and the monitor now shows gas production to be 50%.

"Awesome, look at that! Remember that generator you turned on inside of Home Sweet Home? Well that was a backup generator for just that building. And every building should have one! Now you've just taken Home Sweet Home's backup power and routed it here! We're already halfway done! Hmmm, but where to go next... everywhere is pretty dangerous around here. That Playhouse especially. Yuck! So... your best bet is probably the School. CatNap usually leaves that place alone. Sending you the key now!"

The key shows up and Neil grabs it, and they all head out of the room, and back to the surface where Mommy Long Legs is waiting with the still webbed up Poppy. “Where are you going now?”

“Ollie said to go to the School.” Neil looks to the Playcare school, but he sees the tense looks from Huggy, Kissy and Mommy Long Legs. “Guys? What’s wrong?”

“The School, had teachers in there, and we don’t know if there is anything still alive in there” replied Mommy Long Legs. “It’s been so long, and we don’t even know if one of Catnap’s underlings might be lurking there. It’s dangerous if we don’t know what’s inside there!”

Neil looks back to the school. “Kids, listen to me. Home Sweet Home is cleared out. You can all stay in there, and keep an eye on Poppy Playtime and make sure she doesn’t leave.” Huggy and Kissy nod, and they are given the tied-up Poppy and head into the Orphanage.

But then Mommy Long Legs goes towards Neil. “Mommy is coming with you!”

“Out of the question. Marie, I don’t want you to come—”

“But I have to!” yelled Mommy Long Legs. “I watched you unconscious and hoping you’d wake up! I watched you do so much for us! You went into Home Sweet Home and came out a mess! I will not let you go into that school alone! Please dad!”

Mommy Long Legs fades from her enraged state, and she starts to shed tears and cry. Neil understands what she means, and so he goes closer and he hugs her. Mommy Long Legs starts to cry on his shoulder, and he rubs her back to calm her down.

Neil rubs her head and tries to comfort her. “Marie, I have to do this. I don’t want you guys to go through this, because the way you all are agitated being here is proof enough that you kids are going to lose yourselves. You’ve all been through so much, let me handle this.” They are unaware, that Huggy, Kissy and the webbed up Poppy see this.

“The others, they need you. You’re stronger than anyone I have known in here. Heck, you’re far stronger, and agile than any toy that I have seen in here. Please, stay with the others and I pinky promise that I will come back safe and sound, and when this is all over, then we’re all going home, and we can enjoy watching the real blue sky, together.”

Neil and Mommy Long Legs depart from the hug, and he wipes away her tears, and kisses her cheeks, and forehead. “I promise, I will return for you kids. I won’t break this one, never ever. You’re a brave and strong girl. Be there for them, all of them…” He then whispers. “Except Poppy.”

This makes Mommy Long Legs giggles, and Neil chuckles. “Heck, if you guys get attacked, throw Poppy at the threat and maybe her creepiness will make them flee.” This can be heard by Poppy and she rolls her eyes.

Mommy Long Legs sighs, and she looks towards Neil. “Okay, I’ll stay with the others. But please, don’t get hurt, and please come back to us.”

Neil nods. “I will. I pinky promise.” They both hold their pinkies together assuring that the pinky promise is kept, and chuckle. Neil then walks away from Mommy Long Legs, and she heads back to the others, but she looks back and watches as he heads, for the School.

To be continued…
A/N: They have confronted Poppy, and they won’t go on with her plan, because they have to get out of this wretched place, but the next obstacle is the School… Time for a special lesson, on Survival! I hope you guys enjoyed reading this.

Chapter 12: A Lesson on Survival

Chapter Text

Time to enter the one of the dangerous places within Playcare, the School and an encounter with a Mascot Toy who is dangerous, lethal and hungry… Can she be changed? I hope you all enjoy reading this new one guys.
Saving Playtime.
“A Lesson on Survival.”

Neil opens the doors to the school and he walks inside and sees the hallway and the messed-up school, lockers, desks, paper and literal trash everywhere, and what looks like dried blood stains, and this concerns Neil. ‘Something is wrong here.’

Neil uses the phone to speak to Ollie. “Ollie, I have entered the school and this place is a mess.”

"Okay, make this quick! Turn on the generator, leave, and plug the School's power cord into the center! Be careful in there, I don't think I can connect to you on that side of the dome! And you won't be alone.”

Just then, the phone starts to make static sounds like it’s breaking up. “There's someone else in there too. They're not your--"

Neil is wide eyed. “Ollie? Ollie? Buddy? You there, buddy?” He then puts the phone away. “Well, time to get this nightmare over with, and I’m pretty sure something is in this school, waiting for me.”

Then a cheery female voice is heard on the intercom, which startles Neil. “This is Miss Delight speaking, please excuse the interruption! Students, remain in your seats until the bell has rung, and no going in the halls without a hall pass!”

Neil is wide eyed and shocked. “Alrighty then, looks like this Miss Delight is here. They never mentioned about… Wait, teachers? Or, teacher… Well, this shit ain’t good. Time to see what this place has in store. So, from the words of a true and noble man… Just Bring it.”

Neil enters one of the classrooms to the right, and he sees the mess that it’s in, the state of this place. But then he sees this note, on a piano chair, and he picks it up and reads it. Even if the writing looks messed up and almost faded, he manages to read it.

Just a few weeks ago now was The Hour of Joy. Today, there is only silence in this school. I don't think any of us here know what to do with it. The hallways without the children carry even the smallest sounds as if they were shouts. The other teachers and I startle each other constantly. We'll have to get used to it. Something locked the front door this morning. We haven't been able to open it.

He then sees a poster on the wall, with the image of a smiling teacher, humanoid teacher and this is surprising. “Whoa. This must be here, a humanoid Big Toy. Weird, but why make her human?” He then spots the Power Outlet, and he takes the power with his green hand, and leaves the classroom.

Neil places the power into an unpowered outlet, and the gate opens. He does see some written “Help!” on the walls, chalkboard and mirrors. Which means something happened here, and once again he sees some writing that says. “Remember the Hour of Joy.” He still hasn’t asked the others about that one.

Neil enters the hallway and takes the left hallway. Neil sees this classroom on the left, and so he goes over there and sees the insides of the classroom is still a messed-up state, but then he sees another note, on the window sill and he reads what is written, but there is a faded blood stain on the right corner.  
I heard a knock at the door today. I heard it breathing. Whatever it was, it wouldn't speak when called out to.
I spent hours after it went silent wondering if this was what locked us in here. I've made a weapon of sorts. Pencils and rulers and tape and twine.
I've taken to calling it "Barb". It's crude. But if that door opens, I need to be ready.

Reading this concerns Neil. “She armed herself up, and they were locked in here. What the heck… Wait, Catnap.” Neil sees a battery and he grabs it, and leaves the classroom, and he makes it through the hall and into another classroom where he can insert the battery, but he needs another one.

Neil looks to his left, and he sees the other battery, stuck on the other side of the fenced wall. But he does see above the battery. “An open vent. I need to find another way through to get to that battery.” Neil leaves the classroom, and he crouches underneath some fallen chairs.

Then a dark humanoid figure hobbles far in the darkness somewhere else, and this makes Neil wide eyed, and realize who that was. “Okay, so that’s Miss Delight. Why does she walk like it’s a god damn horror movie?”

Neil then goes to the classroom where she came from, and he sees the ruined computers and chairs, and this makes him worried about this stuff left behind, to be destroyed. Then Miss Delight is heard over the intercom.

“Wait, I recognize you... Yes! I remember! You used to work here! How are you... alive? Hm? Barb? Oh... Barb says you're looking for your co-workers. CatNap wouldn't like that you're here! You should leave, for your own safety”

Neil is confused. “How the heck would you even recognize me? Is it the Grabpack? Miss Delight, I don’t work here!” But there’s no response, and likewise she might not have heard him, and so he leaves the classroom.

But then Neil is confused by what she said. ‘Wait, was she talking to Barb? She’s talking to her weapon?’ Then he spots this note, on a knocked over stool, and he picks it up and reads what it says. But just like the previous note, this one also has some dried blood stains.

No food for days. The others argued with me over what was left.
They started glaring. Judging.
They blocked the kitchen doorway with their bodies.
I think they've singled me out to die first.

Neil didn’t like the sound of this, and he now sees, the only living Miss Delight, must have done something, to her sisters. Deep down, he feels like he should find her, and try to see if she needs help.

Neil wanders around the room, but then he sees the open vent above him and so with the use of the Grabpack he pulls himself up. He walks through the vent, and he makes it to where the other battery is, and he manages to grab it, and then make his way back.

Neil manages to return to the previous room, and he inserts the battery to the wall, empowering the outlet, and he snags it with the green hand, and makes his way to the closed shutter gate, and he uses the power to well power it up, and it opens.

But then he sees a VHS tape in one of the lockers, and on the other side of the now opened pathway, is a TV and VCR, and so he goes over there, and puts it in, and another audio log, but with the voice of Miss Delight, and what had happened.

"Where are the kids? Please, where are the children? Are they... in the same place as the employees?"
Miss Delight tries to mimic the voice of Catnap. "No."
"Are the children safe?"
"Yes."
Miss Delight sighs. “Can I see them?"
"No."
"...And that was it. That's all he'd tell me."
Miss Delight chuckles, and the sound of Barb dropped is heard. "Probably because he knew I'd kill 'em all!" Miss Delight laughs hysterically and the VHS Tape ends.

Neil is horrified, and he now sees, that Miss Delight has lost his mind, but then he recalls Mommy Long Legs and the state she was in. ‘There’s still a chance. I can try and talk to her, and then calm her down and then maybe she won’t want to try and kill me.’

Neil does notice down the hallway door, he could see Miss Delight hobble right by, and so he removes the fallen cabinet, opens the door and goes to look for her. “Miss Delight? I wanna talk, please?” Neil turns around and sees another battery is needed for the closed gate, and so he enters one of the classrooms.  

Right there, he sees a Bunzo toy hanging on the ceiling with the rope around it’s neck, and a note on it, and he reads this note, and there are dried blood stains again.

The pit in me howls for FOOD.
I CAN''T THINK about anything other than how HUNGRY I AM.
HARDLY HAVE THE STRENGTH NOW TO PICK MYSELF OFF THE FLOOR. Barb speaks to me though. SHE GIVES ME STRENGTH.
I've found that if I stand still, COMPLETELY STILL, everyone thinks I'm DEAD. BARB says I need to EAT, AND THAT THE OTHER TEACHERS would never see me coming.
ANYTHING TO STOP THE HOWLING.

‘Poor girl, starved and hungry. Her sisters, why? I thought they were in this together? What the heck is wrong with them? I have to find Miss Delight, and help her.’ Neil puts the note in his bag, along with the others he chose to keep.

Neil then looks up and sees the open vent, and with the Grabpack, he hoists himself up there, and he takes the vent hallway to find where to go next, he does spot this slightly open part of the vent, and he looks down and sees Miss Delight hobble on by. ‘Why does she walk like that? Is she broken or something?’

Neil manages to drop down into another classroom and once again Miss Delight is heard over the intercom, and speaking to the man who has entered her territory. “Not a good listener, are you? You're a lot like the other humans in that way. I wonder if your screams will sound like theirs too!” Miss Delight laughs. “I look forward to finding out.”

Neil should be scared, but he knows that she needs help and he intends to help her. Neil leaves the classroom, but he sees the energy outlet, and he snags the power with the green hand, and he inputs it into another unpowered outlet, and the steel grate gate opens, and he’s in another computer classroom.

But he spots this cutout of Miss Delight, and he goes over and pushes the button to hear what she says.

“Hello, students! Find my sisters and I to learn facts across a variety of subjects. Press my button to hear some facts on anatomy!"
"Did you know that there are sixty thousand miles of blood vessels in the human body? For comparison, the Earth around the equator is almost twenty-five thousand miles!" 
"The smallest bone in your body is the stapes in your ear. Still, damage it, and you risk losing your hearing!"
"Want to learn more about human organs? Pay close attention in class!"

Neil is surprised. “Wow. I feel like I’m back in High School all over again.” Neil sees a shelf which has fallen over, and he goes over and sees the note, and he reads it, and once again it’s written down by Miss Delight.

I'M SO SORRY.
I HAD TO EAT.
I HAD TO SURVIVE.
I ATE THEM.
I HAD TO
I HAD TO
I HAD TO
I HAD TO

Neil wipes away some tears. “I’m sorry girl, I’m sorry.” Neil feels bad, that she has guilt inside of her, and now he’s more determined to finish a new quest, to find Miss Delight and help her out of this insane mess she’s gotten herself into.

Neil enters a room, and he sees the Generator, but it’s not powered. Then he sees a very familiar puzzle, the Power Pole Puzzle. “Been a while since I’ve seen one of these ones around here. Alright, this should be easy.”

Neil using his Grabpack manages to get the power transferred, and the generator sparks and is now turning on. “Yes!” Then he sees the door nearby open, the red-light flickers and he sees this female figure walk towards the generator, and smashes it with her weapon and the battery falls out.

The figure looks to Neil and stays still, almost like a paused animation before she can walk. Then he realizes something. ‘Weapon in hand, standing still, humanoid figure...’ “Miss Delight?” He sees she’s around 5 foot ten in height, and he tries to look clearly at her.

Neil has his flashlight, and he shines it to her face, this does stun her and she tries to look away, breaking her staying still game, and her face is revealed and is a horrific torn up mess, and this makes Neil scream in horror.

“Oh, my sweet lord from high above! What the hell happened to you?! You look like you got ran over by a herd of goats, struck by a semi-truck, and then landed face first onto a barbeque grill followed by a—”

“I get it my face is disfigured! You don’t have to give me the play by play of what you think!” Miss Delight, then slowly walks towards Neil, and he backs up. “You shouldn’t have come here, Worker!”

Neil then stops being scared. “I never worked here, I just came to this place looking for a Catnap plush.”

Miss Delight giggles, and snickers and she snarl. “You’re lying! You have a Grabpack and you used it so many times! They warned me of you, and now you’re here, and trespassing into my school! You’re going to be given to Catnap, or perhaps… I can finally have something to eat!”

Neil then remembers. “Wait, I forgot! You’re hungry!” Neil then kneels down and he reaches his backpack and opens it. Miss Delight should attack, but she waits for what this human will do next, and yet she feels agitated as he keeps reaching into his backpack.

Miss Delight then roars, and she charges at him, ready to swing Barb to his head, but then he hands her a sandwich in a plastic wrap. “Here, this could help. It’s a Ham and Egg Sandwich, with some mayonnaise and some lettuce.” Neil also has a water bottle, and he mixed it with some apple juice.

Miss Delight is shocked, and surprised. She drops Barb, and she grabs the sandwich and rips it open and she starts to eat it like a ravenous animal. Neil is not surprised or startled, since he’s seen Huggy Wuggy and Mommy Long Legs eat like ravenous animals before.

Miss Delight is handed the bottle of apple juice, and she drinks it and closes her eyes, and has tears. She then stops and she hands him the bottle. “T-Thank you… Thank you.”

Neil nods. “No problem.” They remain silent, Miss Delight places her hands together onto her dress, and playing with the fabric. Then he breaks the silence. “Are you alright?”

Miss Delight nods, and then she asks. “Why did you help me? Why give me that food?”

“Because you’ve been hungry for so long, and all because those sisters of yours singled you out, and if you ask me, that’s wrong and messed up” replied Neil. “I would never do that to my brothers, I would work with them and figure something out. You didn’t deserve that, and neither did them.”

Miss Delight is surprised by this man’s words. “You never worked here, did you?”

“I don’t work here, I never did” replied Neil. “I am an Urban Explorer, I check out abandoned places, and I chose to come here to complete the Smiling Critters Plushies I got from a yard sale, and the one thing missing is a Catnap plush, but the plans have changed after I found out the truth about Mommy Long—Marie Payne.”

“Wait, you figured out her real name?” asked Miss Delight, and Neil nods. This surprises her, and then she asks. “What was the changed plan?”

“To get them out of here. Huggy, Kissy and Marie, and bring them home. A chance for freedom, life and not be trapped in this horrible factory and all the wretched nightmares they have done to all of them” replied Neil. “Do you wanna come with us, Miss Delight?”

That question, shocks Miss Delight and she has tears welling up in her eyes, and she starts to whimper, and she feels like, she found someone who cares about her, someone who knows how she feels, someone who can save her from her personal and insane prison, her hell.

“Y-Yes, please! I don’t wanna be here anymore, I just… I don’t wanna be the bad guy, the monster. Please, I want to leave.”

Miss Delight is surprised when Neil hugs her, and this causes her to sob and hug him back. They stay like this for a while, and then they depart from the hug, and then she picks up her weapon, called Barb. But she looks at it. “I can’t hear her anymore.” She then looks to Neil. “Thank you.”

Neil nods. “No problem.” They then see the damaged generator, and this makes Miss Delight feel bad. “Don’t be that way, we can try and find another way.”

“I know how” replied Miss Delight. “There’s an emergency generator, it’s the same as this and it’s deep within the caverns at the back of the school.”

Neil smiles, and he nods. “Then lead the way, Miss Delight. I’m Neil Spellman, it’s nice to meet you.” Miss Delight nods, and she’s glad she changed, and all thanks to him.

So, Neil Spellman and Miss Delight walk around the school, they work together, she grabs batteries, and Neil grabs power from the outlets, and he plugs them into where they are needed, and they manage to open the door that leads to the back where the emergency generator is found.

The duo go through the halls, and they see the lights here are dim. This hallway leads to the maintenance room, and they make it into the room, but the gate behind them is going down, and Neil grabs Miss Delight before she gets crushed, and they are both startled by what happened.

“Thank you, that nearly crushed me.” Miss Delight then let’s go of his hand, and she looks nervous.

They then spot a cutout of another of the Smiling Critters, Hoppy Hopscotch. Neil pushes the button, and he hears what the green rabbit character has to say.

"I'm Hoppy Hopscotch! Wanna try hopping to the moon with me?"
"On three, with me! 1... 2... 3! ...Heh, didn't get very far, did we?"
"Again! 1... 2... 3! Nope. Still didn't make it.
"Listen, this won't stop until we make it to the moon!"
"1... 2... No, no, don't look at your feet! None of that matters! Again! Again!"
"JUMP! JUUUUUU--"

The rest is static, and screams and it’s over and turns off. “What the heck happened to the Smiling Critters?”

“I honestly don’t know. Chances, Catnap did this, because they wouldn’t listen to the prototype. He called them heretics, I avoided that and chose to just… Not get in his way, and be his emergency alarm. Sorry” replied Miss Delight, and she feels bad for all she’s done.

Neil then sees a note nearby, and he picks it up and reads it.

The door opened today, and I heard something enter my hall.
Together, Barb and I found CatNap waiting.
ALL THIS TIME, ALL THIS AGONY.
It was HE WHO LOCKED THE DOOR, I know it.
I wanted to KILL HIM, but I knew better than to believe I could. He seemed oddly glad to see I was all that remained.
We made a deal
We take care of each other now.
Report what we see to the other, and to HIM.

Neil sighs, and he puts the note away, and then looks towards Miss Delight. “Don’t be sorry. You did what you had to, to survive. Everyone else had to, even Huggy Wuggy and Marie. But we’re all getting out of here, and you can all be free from this horrid Factory.”

Miss Delight wipes away some newly formed tears, and she nods, and so she leads Neil deeper into the maintenance room, and they both head to the location of the emergency generator, within the caverns.

To be continued…
A/N: He did it, he saved and changed Miss Delight from her insanity, and now she’s part of the group to leave the Factory and be free, now they have to find the other generator, and get everything back in full operation. I hope you guys enjoyed reading this.

Chapter 13: The Last of the Smiling Critters

Chapter Text

Time to venture deeper within Playcare and they will find a lot of surprises, and much more horrors to confront. I hope you all enjoy reading this new one guys.
Saving Playtime.
“The Last of the Smiling Critters.”

Neil Spellman and Miss Delight manage to open the door into the restricted area, and along the way Neil found a new hand to swap with, called the Flare Gun, and he’s going to use it should something else bad and dangerous happen.

They now enter the caverns, and Neil doesn’t bother with the VCR or the VHS, and they keep going. “The generator is… Oh, there it is.” They see the generator, and there is another electrical pole puzzle again, and so Neil uses his Grabpack, and it’s the same as the one in the school, and he powers the generator, and now power is back online.

“Alright, the power is back online. But I need to keep going and power the next place. Ollie told me on the phone, to go to the Playhouse to get more of the power back up and running. Do you know an Ollie? He’s this kid on the phone whose been helping me.”

“Ollie? Hmmm, no I don’t. Also, that wouldn’t even be possible and—Wait, wait. Did you say, the Playhouse?!” yelled Miss Delight with shock.

Neil nods. “Yeah. Let me guess, it’s dangerous?” Miss Delight nods, and he sighs. “Damn it. Well, there’s no turning back now, I have to keep going and power up everything to clear the red smoke and we can all get out of this horrific place.”

Hearing this, seems to be giving Miss Delight some confidence, and she readies Barb. “Then I’m coming with you. Playhouse is a dangerous place, and you are not fighting off the danger alone. I have a weapon, and her name is Barbara!” This makes Neil chuckle, and so they make their way onto the catwalk.

Neil sees this large gap, and he knows that he has to use the purple hand to jump. “Delight, hold onto my backpack and don’t let go!” Miss Delight nods, and Neil uses the Purple Hand from the Grabpack to catapult them upwards, and onto the steel platforms above them.

They make it to another Power Pole puzzle which seems more difficult, but Neil manages to figure it out, with Miss Delight just watching, and he powers up the elevator, and this makes Miss Delight clap. “You are smart and observant too.”

“Learned from Huggy Wuggy when we encountered one of these, and he also has a Grabpack 2.0” replied Neil. Neil and Miss Delight take the elevator to move upwards further. Then Miss Delight asks.

“So, there’s only Mommy Long Legs, Huggy Wuggy, Kissy Missy and Poppy Playtime? What about the others? There are other toys from the Game Station—”

“They’re dead, Poppy Playtime killed them, and she is dead to me” replied Neil, and this startles Miss Delight, and she can see that this is personal, and also personal for Mommy Long Legs and Huggy Wuggy.

They make it to another catwalk, and they venture forward, but then Miss Delight grabs Neil. “Get down now!” They are now both prone, and they see, not too far is a shrine, and what looks like a statue made from several toy parts, skeletons and other junk.

Then Catnap shows up, looks to the statue and he stands up and it looks like he’s praying to it. Neil now knows what that statue is meant to symbolize. “Is that what the Prototype looks like?!”

“Yes, but the real one is big and uglier than that statue. This is a shrine dedicated to him. Catnap worships the Prototype like a god, when clearly, he’s lost his mind and doesn’t know what he’s gotten himself into. So, technically the big Purple Red Smoke feline is a priest, or cult leader in the name of the Prototype” replied Miss Delight.

Neil and Miss Delight look away, and sneak down the catwalk, but they are unaware that Catnap is gone. They both make it through the catwalks, and then they see the door that leads to the Playhouse. Neil looks to Miss Delight. “Are you ready for this?”

Miss Delight spins Barb. “Born and Built ready, Neil. Let’s get in there and rip ‘em apart!”

That one surprises Neil, now Miss Delight sounds like a savage warrior ready for the fight, and bloodshed. Neil uses the blue hand to the scanner, and the door opens, and the duo walk inside and go through the catwalk, and see the door leading to Playhouse itself.

The enter, and see another open door, but then they hear a giggling sound, and right there with white small eyes, is a living plush of DogDay, and it looks to Neil and Miss Delight, and snarls. Neil is confused. “What am I looking at?”

“The Ruined Mini Smiling Critters, experimented children turned to living toys, and they are the disciples of Catnap, they are many and dangerous” replied Miss Delight, and she moves forward, and kicks the small DogDay away, then another one shows up, and it’s PickyPiggy.

Neil fires the flare gun, and the light startles the little PickyPiggy and she retreats back into the darkness. “Huh, they don’t like the light either. Alright, look alive, and be aware of your surroundings Miss Delight. We’re about to have some company as we walk on through.”

Miss Delight smirks. “Then bring it on!”

They then stop and see the sign written in claw marks. “LEAVE MY HOME!” Then they see a VCR, and Neil can see some makeshift tents, and he grabs the VHS Tape, and he puts it inside, and another audio recording, but this is between Leith Pierre and Catnap.

Leith Pierre: "Okay... this is... CatNap. Uhhh... experiment #1188..."
"What's his real name again? Ah! Okay."
"Heya Theo! How ya doin' bud? Normally, I'd have Dr. Sawyer do this but he's uhhh... out, let's say."
"So you got me until they find his replacement."
"First off: congrats! This is officially your 4th year in your new body and you've made some real progress pal."
"I was told that when you and the other smiling critters, y'know, DogDay, PickyPiggy, yadda yadda yadda, were added into Playcare, that you weren't really getting along too well with the kids like everybody else was."
"But look at you now! The kids love ya, and that red smoke. I mean- That's fantastic isn't it?!"
"Is his uh, voice thingy still broken-"
CatNap: "The Prototype will save us."
Leith Pierre: "Theo... Nobody's gonna save you. This prison is where you belong. We'll let you out here and there to go see the kids in Playcare, but your home is here."
"And as for 'The Prototype', his home is in The Labs. THIS is your life now. Get used to it."

Neil takes Barb and he smashes it onto the TV several times, Miss Delight remains silent, and understands why he’s pissed off. Neil stops and he hands her back the weapon. “Damn you, Leith Pierre. Wretched bastard.”

“Nobody liked him, believe me” replied Miss Delight. “He even cut corners, and reduced the break time my sisters and I have, and even removed the complaint box we had in the faculty room. We tend to ask the staff if we could teach something more fun for the kids, but that man changed everything. I wish I did kill him, and then heard his screams of pain and suffering.”

Neil chuckles and nods. “Sounds like something we can both agree on, and would want to bear witness, and Catnap… His name, do you know the name, Theo?”

Miss Delight thinks about this. “Unsure, there were a lot of children, and I just don’t know.”

Neil calms down, and he sees a Bobby Bearhug cut out, and he pushes the button, and hears what she has to say.

"Hi! I'm Bobby BearHug! Wanna know how much I love you?"
"I love you to the moon and back!"
"I'm crazy about you."
"I'm lost without you..."
"I've been lost a long time..."
"Please, take me with you this time."
"You won't leave me, will you?"

Neil just feels bad for this one. “Poor girl, I’m so sorry.”

Miss Delight sighs. “Bobby was always the more sensitive of the Smiling Critters. I don’t know what even happened to her.” This also concerns Neil, and they look to the door, and they pass into the hall, which has soft walls.

They walk right into the playhouse itself, and they encounter several Ruined Mini Smiling Critters, and so Neil uses the Flare Hand from the Grabpack to scare them off, while Miss Delight uses her weapon Barb to knock them away. Both working together and making sure none of these little disciples from Catnap can get to the other.

They go through tube tunnels and down some slides, while also fending off, and escaping the Ruined Mini Smiling Critters trying to get to them. But they soon go down a slide, and enter a labyrinth, and they look around and Miss Delight knows this.

“We need to get the Power back online, if we’re to escape and—What are you doing?”

Miss Delight follows Neil and he kneels down and sees a Catnap Plush, a living one, and he looks scared and backs up in the corner, and whimpers. Neil uses his flashlight and sees the little one has some scratches and bite marks, and he can see that this one is different.

“Hey there little fella. Don’t be scared, we won’t hurt you.” This makes the little one cover his eyes, and whimper.

Neil grabs something from his backpack, a strawberry and he places it in front of the Ruined Mini Smiling Critter, and he sniffs the strawberry, his eyes go wide, and he eats it whole. “Take it easy there, don’t swallow all of it or you could choke.”

The Little Catnap finishes, and then crawls onto the Neil and then sits on his shoulder, and nuzzles his face, Neil smiles and he hugs the little one. “Wanna come along with us, little Catnap? Er, Catnip?” The Mini Catnap, or Catnip nods, and hugs his face.

Miss Delight is at awe seeing this, and now they have a little friend with them along for the ride. Neil gets up, and the trio head down the labyrinth, and try to get the Power in the area on, by using giant blocks onto the large buttons.

Catnip does warn Neil and Miss Delight for any signs of the other dangerous Ruined Mini Smiling Critters, which allows them to fend them off. Now, the Flare Gun just scares them because of the light, and Miss Delight is not actually bashing them more like a threatening smash near them making them run off in fear, but she does kick and slap away some coming for them.

After successfully completing the electric puzzle, they make it out of this labyrinth, but they look back and with the use of the flashlight, they see a large group of Ruined Mini Smiling Critters coming for them. “Sweet mother Hubbard.” They close the door, and they grab some of the debris and block it. “You think that’ll work?”

They look down and see Catnip moving some rocks to block out the vents nearby. “Seems like it. We should keep moving. There has to be another Power Source somewhere here, and then we can leave” replied Miss Delight.

Neil picks up Catnip and they make their way through the hall and into a room with an empty Swimming Pool. “Huh, makes sense why they would have this here.” They would see the pool is drained of water, and there are large yellow ducks meant for riding, and they see toys hanging on the ceiling.

“They proved their loyalty to Catnap and the Prototype, by finding heretics and hanging them, executing them and ensuring the words of the Prototype aren’t being abused” replied Miss Delight, and this makes Catnip shake with fear.

Neil then asks. “Does Catnap give you food?”

“No, he stopped doing that five years after the Hour of Joy” replied Miss Delight. “I barely get anything to eat, unless some random mouse comes around, or if one of the Ruined Mini Critters would randomly enter the school out of curiosity. I guess, Catnap singled me out to die, huh?”

Neil feels bad for Miss Delight, and then they hear some groaning, and so they go through the door, and they see, what looks like holding cells. “Wait, wait. Is this, an actual prison? There’s an actual prison down here?”

Miss Delight nods. “This is where the Bigger Body Smiling Critters were kept, and also Mommy Long Legs when they tested her out to reside here long ago, and that didn’t go so well. Even Catnap is held here, well he’s always placed here the longest by the horrible people who worked here.”

Neil is at a loss for words witnessing this. “I knew this Factory was a Prison, but I didn’t think there would be an actual prison—” They then hear the groaning sound, and so Catnip jumps off, and goes through the hallway which they follow the little fella, and he stops at a holding cell that is open.

A voice is heard. “You… You’re… You’re the one, Poppy’s Angel.” Neil and Miss Delight see who it is, and are shocked to see, it’s DogDay, suspended by his arms, and he has no legs… Well, he has no lower half.

“DogDay?!”

“W-What the heck happened to your legs?!” yelled Neil.

“You’re alive this whole time?!” asked Miss Delight in shock.

Catnip nods, and then DogDay speaks. “You have come to save us, when there is nothing left to save, not here…” He then looks to Miss Delight. “Funny seeing you out of the school, I guess this one managed to reason with you?”

Miss Delight nods and she asks. “DogDay, are the others still alive?”

DogDay looks down and sighs. “I do not know. I am the last of the Smiling Critters. I don’t know if the others even are alive… Bobby… Crafty… Picky… Hoppy… Kickin… Bubba… They might be dead, or somewhere in the same state… As I am now.”

Neil then goes over to the suspended Smiling Critter leader. “Delight, Catnip. Help me with these restraints!” They both nod and help him. Neil uses his knife to try and cut the leather belt straps, Miss Delight uses her weapon to try and make cuts onto the leather straps and Catnip tries to bite onto them.

DogDay is surprised by this. “No, you cannot save me. I will only slow you down. You're in CatNap's home, angel. Their home. A million pairs of eyes are on you now. Watching, waiting, hungry. They want nothing more than to crawl beneath your skin and eat you away bit by little bit-- fill what feels empty inside themselves. That... thing... CatNap. The Prototype is his God—”

“Yeah we know, we saw the statue and the shrine” replied Neil, and he continues to slowly cut at the leather straps. “Stay still and calm down, DogDay, we’re getting you out of this and then seeing how to fix you up!”

DogDay has tears, seeing that they want to free him, but he doesn’t want them to, not when he’s in this state. “Listen to me, you need to get out of this place! You need to live! You and Poppy can fix this, end this madness, the torment, the...” DogDay then feels something’s wrong. “Oh no...”

Neil, Miss Delight and Catnip see them, from the holes in the walls, are multiple white eyes, the rest of the Ruined Mini Smiling Critters, and they start cutting the straps faster. “Oh no! "Leave me, please! Just go!... RUN!"

“WE ARE NOT LEAVING YOU!” yelled Neil, and he fires multiple flares, scaring off the Ruined Mini’s, and then they break the straps off. Neil grabs DogDay and has his ride on his backpack, Catnip sits on his head, and surprisingly, he carries Miss Delight bridal style. “Everyone hang on! We’re getting out of here!”

Neil starts sprinting while carrying the others. DogDay and Miss Delight are surprised that this human can carry them both, but then Catnip looks back and sees a wave of Ruined Mini’s coming, and even DogDay sees this, and he grabs the flare gun hand, and fires it, scaring some of them off.

They continue down the slides, through the tunnels, fending off the Ruined Mini’s, and with the help from Catnip and DogDay, some of them try to attack from above, only for Miss Delight to whack them away with her weapon Barb.

Neil then sees ahead of them is the hallway, and they go through and he sees the door with a Purple hand platform for jumping. DogDay sees this, and he helps using the Grabpack and the Purple hand to help them jump and cross the gap and reach the other side.

Neil lands safely, and fine. They turn around and see the metal gate come down, and the Ruined Mini Smiling Critters all growl, and hiss and try to open it, but they can’t. They all take this moment to catch their breath. “That… Was too close… And also, scary… Reminds me of… A Zombie Apocalypse Chase.”

DogDay then looks to Neil. “Why did you save me? I’ll only slow you down. You should have left me to die.”

Neil looks back to DogDay who is still on his backpack. “No, you don’t deserve to die. What you deserve is freedom, and a chance to a better life. You and the others, Huggy, Mommy, Delight, Catnip, and Kissy deserve to see the outside, and breath the fresh air and feel what it’s like to be alive once again. We’re getting out of here, especially you, and I promise we will fix your legs issue.”

DogDay is touched hearing this, and even Catnip, and they wipe away their tears. “Thank you Angel, thank you.”

Neil chuckles. “I ain’t no angel DogDay. My name is Neil Spellman, I never worked here, because I’m an Urban Explorer.” Neil goes onto the elevator and he pushes the button and they all head up.

But then Miss Delight pokes his face. “You can stop carrying me now, also you’re very strong.”

“Oh my Goodness, Delight I am so sorry. I forgot that I was carrying you.” Neil places Miss Delight back down and she stands up and dusts off her skirt.

“No worries, and I am surprised at how strong you are. Such strong muscle density and bone structure, to allow yourself to be able to carry me, DogDay and Catnip” replied Miss Delight, and she looks kinda nervous, and kinda liked being carried.

They arrive to the top, and are now in a large room, and they see a DogDay cutout, and so Neil pushes the button, and he still has DogDay on his backpack and even he hears his former voice.

"DogDay says... fetch!"
"Go! Go! As far as you can!"
"Why are you... just standing there?"
"You can't be here. You can't stay."

The rest are long screams of anguish and pain. This startles Miss Delight and Catnip, but DogDay sighs. “That sound… That was the day, my old friend ripped my lower half, to keep me from escaping and siding with the others. At least the others escape, but I hope they survived the Prototype’s wrath.”

Then Neil sees Miss Delight come out from another door, and she explains. “Found the other generator, but it didn’t seem to have much power. Got it working, and now we can leave this place.” Neil nods, and he’s grateful to have these guys tag along, and they kinda remind him of Huggy Wuggy and Mommy Long Legs, sorta.

The trio take the red tube slide, and they make it outside of the Playhouse and are now back at Playcare. Then the phone rings, which startles the others, and so Neil answers it, but DogDay knows who it is. “Ollie?”

"Hey, are you alright!? No ouchies or lost body parts? (sigh of relief) I'm really glad you're okay. I don't want to lose any more friends to this place! Hey, did you see the shrine? CatNap made it for The Prototype. See, before CatNap turned into... CatNap, I guess there was some pretty serious accident. He almost died, but, they say that The Prototype saved his life, giving up his own freedom in the process. In CatNap's eyes, The Prototype is a superhero, and has saved this place. So CatNap treats him like a god, killing everyone that opposes him. Us included, if we're not careful. That shrine... did it scare you? If you thought that was terrifying, just wait until you see the real thing."

This confuses Neil. “What?”

"Anyways, we're really close to the end! I sent you a new key. You're going to the Counselor's Office instead! It's not ideal... but it should have enough juice. If you can get that generator going and plug it in, I think we'll be done! And keep your eyes open for CatNap. Every shadow and every flickering light is a hiding spot. He always stalks his prey first. He'll take away anything you have to defend yourself. And when you're at your most vulnerable... he'll kill you. CatNap lives for the hunt. Good luck, talk soon."

They all remain silent. “So, now I have to go in there?” They all look to the Counselors Office. “Wow, well this just got messed up.” He then sees the lights of Home Sweet Home are still on, and he can see Kissy Missy sitting outside and then goes back inside.

“Delight, take DogDay.” Neil gets DogDay off his backpack, and he wraps his arms around Miss Delight, acting as a backpack for her. “Head to Home Sweet Home, and tell the others I sent you guys, oh and Catnip too.” Neil places Catnip onto the shoulders of Miss Delight.

But Catnip reaches for him, and so he kisses his cheek. “Stay with the others, you’ll be safe with them. I’ll be back.”

Miss Delight then speaks to him. “Wait, are you sure you can handle going in there by yourself? Catnap could be hiding there, and his red smoke could get to you!”

“I am aware of the Red Smoke, I inhaled it when I went into Home Sweet Home, and saw nightmares which didn’t make sense to me” replied Neil. He then hugs Miss Delight and DogDay. “Stay with the others, and explain to them about what happened. Everything will be alright, and I will return to you guys.”

This surprises them, and they hug him back. They soon depart from the hug, and then Neil wipes away their tears. “We’re getting out of this place, I promise. Now go.” Neil does hand her some sandwiches, and a bottle of water, since DogDay has to eat. Miss Delight nods, and she heads off to Home Sweet Home, with DogDay and Catnip.

Neil does spot the Toy Store, and from his distance he can see the whole place looks boarded up, and then he sees the large double doors leading to what could be an emergency medical room, and spare parts. ‘We’ll figure out what to do there later, and perhaps we can find something for Miss Delight and DogDay.’

Neil heads for the statues to grab the key, and then make his way into the Counselors Office.

To be continued…
A/N: They managed to survive the Playhouse and free DogDay, the next one is the Counselors office, which will hold so many secrets which will shock and horrify our protagonist. I hope you guys enjoyed reading this.

Chapter 14: Into the Counselors Office

Chapter Text

With Home Sweet Home, the School and the Playhouse done, that leaves one place left, and there will be some truths uncovered, and some encounters made. I hope you all enjoy reading this new one guys.
Saving Playtime.
“Into the Counselors Office.”

The front door to the Counselors Office opens, and walking inside is Neil Spellman, with his Grabpack and Back pack ready, he braves through the hallways, and even sees a candy vending machine based on Candy Cat.

Neil continues to wander around, and then he realizes that this places was more than a counselors office. ‘Dark secrets hide in here, and the people who worked here are the ones responsible.’ Neil then sees a room that is locked, and it needs a green battery to open it.

But then he looks through the glass of the door, and he can see the room is flooded with Red Smoke, a good sign to use the Gas Mask, and so he walks around to look for the battery, but then he sees something written on the wall.

YOU’RE TOOLS WON’T PROTECT YOU.

Neil knows that this was written by Catnap, and he ignores it and carries on. He finds one of the batteries, and he uses it to open one of the locked offices, and so he enters and sees another battery is needed, but then he sees a VHS Tape, a VCR nearby, and is connected to the TV hanging above.

Neil puts the VHS inside, but he covers his ears when he hears an EAS Alarm. Then he hears the voice of an announcer, and looks to the screen and sees the words displayed.

"The following message is for all Playtime Co. employees."
"At 11:01 AM, Eastern Standard Time, an unknown hostile force was declared present within the Playtime Co. facility."
"Personnel are to begin enacting emergency evacuation protocols immediately."
"Leave all personal belongings."
"Do not engage with any hostile individuals."
"If no exit path is available, seek shelter in a hidden location."
"Use blankets or pillows to cover your body, and remain silent."
"Do not look through any windows."
"Do not open doors for any individuals."
"Do not make eye contact with-"

Next is all static. Then something else is revealed on the screen.

"OPEN THE DOORS NOW. THE HOUR OF JOY HAS ARRIVED."

The EAS Alarm noise is heard, and then it ends. Whatever that last part was, confused Neil. ‘I’ve been seeing those a lot lately. What in the hell is the hour of joy? What was that video all about?’ Neil looks around the room, and sees another locked door, but there’s no other battery.

So, he stays still within the room, and uses the Grabpack to take the battery from the previous room and bring it to him and the door he came through before closes. He puts the battery inside, and the locked door nearby opens. ‘I’ll have to worry about escape once I finish here.’

Neil goes down the hallway, and he tries to open some of the doors nearby, but some of them are either locked, barricaded or have dead toys impaled at the entrance. ‘This place is just a nightmare to look at, better yet it looks like the proper place to make a horror film.’

Neil then sees another battery port, and he needs to find another battery, and then he sees this door, which has the name. “Head of the School. Maria Ashokan.” Neil opens the door, and he goes inside. But he finds nothing useful, then he hears some noise outside.

Neil goes to see this door that is locked, but the glass is broken, and he can see a small Bunzo Bunny Toy walking, and then falling over, and it gets snatched away by Catnap, startling Neil. He then sees the green battery, and with the use of the Grabpack he takes the battery.

Neil goes back to open another locked door, and so he goes down the hallway, and sees more office doors blocked off, and with dead toys at the top. ‘So, this is where they also place the dead toys, those who wouldn’t listen or obey the Prototype. This is sickening.’

Neil goes to the end of the hall, where there is a small bright red light, and a sign on the wall. “HELP.” Neil looks up, and he spots the large open hole, and si he uses the Grabpack to get himself up there, and he crosses into the vent,

Neil sees it leads back to the caves after he used the purple hand to get to the door, and now he has to try and once again solve the Power Poles and advanced power reroute again. After jumping around, and connecting the power together, he makes a pathway to cross the catwalks, and he arrives at the Office.

Neil goes inside, with the gas mask ready in case there might be some more red smoke. But there’s no smoke, and he sees some more wrecked computers, tables knocked over, and then he sees another door, an office door and the name of… Stella Greyber. “This is her office?”

Neil goes inside, and sees the place is a little messy, and he finds a Pink VHS Tape, and he sees the VCR. He puts the tape in, and hears another audio recording.

Stella Greyber: "Oh, Mr. and Mrs. Hartmann? Come on in! Please, have a seat! How was your ride down?"

Mr. Hartmann: "It was... nothing like we were expecting. Mr. Ludwig's speech was... Well, it just confirms for us that you're the orphanage we want to go through."

Stella Greyber: "It's a truly magical place. I felt right at home from the second I entered. You open the door the first time and you just know, you're never going to leave... Kind of like finding a home as a child, and always thinking of it when you want to feel comforted."

Stella Greyber: "I understand you want to give Jeremy that home."

Mrs. Hartmann: "Yes, and we would like to adopt."

Stella Greyber: "Amazing! You'll be perfect for-... Oh..."

Mrs. Hartmann: "W-what?"

Stella Greyber: “Well, it appears there's... been some complications."

Mrs. Hartmann: "Complications?... W-what kind of complications?"

Stella Greyber: "I-I don't know. Uhm... The form, says 'Testing'."

Mrs. Hartmann: "What does that mean!?... Tell us, what does that mean!?"

Mr. Hartmann: "Ms. Greyber, we deserve a better explanation than that, don't you think!?"

Mrs. Hartmann: "You're in charge of all this, how could you not know?!"

Mr. Hartmann: "And why are we only finding out about this now?!"

Stella Greyber: "I-I don't... I'm sorry."

The tape ends, and Neil sighs. “God damn. I feel bad for this kid, they would’ve been a happy and nice family.” Neil then looks up and sees a loose vent, and he uses the Grabpack, the vent opens and a key falls out. “Convenient.” Neil picks up the key, and he leaves the office.

Neil uses the key to open one of the locked doors, and he makes it out and goes through the hall, and he encounters a cutout of CraftyCorn. He pushes the button to hear what she says.

"Hi... I'm CraftyCorn. Can you help me with my painting? Pass me the blue, please!"
"Thanks! Now, can you give me some red?"
"More red, please!"
"Out?... But... we can't be out."
"You're hiding more red from me... I know you are."
"GIVE IT HERE!"
A distorted scream is made. 
"Ah! Now that's much better!"

Neil remains silent and at a loss for words. ‘Wow. Well, that sounded very brutal.’ Neil backs away from this and just continues down the hallway, and there are some leaks where water is coming out, and at the end of the hallway, above is a hole.

Neil uses the Grabpack and he pulls himself up there, and he goes into another vent, and he decided to se the Flare Gun hand to shoot some light so he can see. Neil keeps on going, and turns around the bend, and sees a grate below, and he kicks it open.

But he sees the room filled with Red Smoke, and he goes inside wearing his gas mask, and he looks around. He sees several doors, one belonging to Head of Playhouse, another who is Head of Home Sweet Home, and the door that is from the Head of Gas Production, and this is where he enters.

Neil spots that some power is needed on the outlet, and he recalls seeing a battery, he leaves the office and uses the battery, and this powers another outlet, and with the use of the Green hand, he takes the power and diverts them to the three offline outlets within the three rooms.

This causes a door to open, and so he goes to the open door, and sees no more red smoke, and so he removes his mask, and sees, more of these advanced power source and relay poles, and this is something he can figure out, and yet this one seems hard. He sees that there are several complicated things he needs to solve. ‘If Huggy can handle something like this, then so can I!’

After dealing with the elevator, finding a battery, relaying the power with the poles, and opening several grates and jumping around with the Purple hand, the power in this area is restored, and Neil drinks from a water bottle. “These electrical grid puzzles are nerve wrecking, and tiring. I hope I finished the job.”

Neil hears this weird distorted tune, and he goes through this hallway from above the area, and he enters a vent filled with steam. He uses is gas mask to keep the steam away, and the flare gun to see through the dark. Neil then falls down from the vent, but he lands safely onto some chairs.

“Alright, did not see that one coming.” Neil gets up, and sees the room is now filled with Red Smoke. “Mother of God. What the heck?” He walks into one of the offices, and there he sees a battery. He picks it up, and is about to leave the office.

Only for Catnap to come out of nowhere, screeching at him, and then pushing him into the office, and his Gas mask taken off. Neil realizes what has happened, and he sees Catnap walking towards him, and everything turns dark.

Dreaming, Neil wakes up and finds themselves standing outside on the road leading to the factory. Poppy's voice is heard, whispering. "Find the flower. Find the flower. This isn't a place you come back from."

Traveling through a cloud of red smoke, the scene transitions to the factory's Main Entrance. "Do you have any idea what you're doing?"

It then transitions to the halls of Home Sweet Home with silhouettes of children. Laughter is heard. Eyes are seen at the end of a hallway. "Do you know what's happened here?"

The sound of children screaming is heard as it transitions to a messy classroom at the School. Children sit in the seats, with Miss Delight at the end. "Do you know who we once were?"

It then transitions to the interior of the Playhouse. Children are seen and faintly heard speaking. "Do you see why we have to end this?"

It then transitions to a room in the Counselor's Office. A child silhouette sits at a table. "Do you even know what's real?"

It then transitions to a void. Huggy Wuggy stands in front of The Player baring his teeth. "No... you don't."

The sounds of an alarm go off, followed by the sounds of people screaming, and running, and lights flickering on and off, and also the sound of a phone ringing. Then someone whispers with a dark sinister voice. IT’S TIME TO WAKE UP….

The image of Huggy appears, and then the image of Mommy Long Legs and then the image of Catnap shows up, and then the image of the Prototype’s hand, and then everything turns dark.

But Neil does speak. “What is going on here? Why am I even seeing this? Why is this even my nightmare? Why show me this stuff? I don’t even work here!”

Neil opens his eyes, and he sits up and coughs out red smoke, and doesn’t realize he’s also coughing out some blood, and he sighs. He does look around, and he’s back in the office where he found the battery, and he stands up. “How many fucking times do I have to say it… I have never ever worked in this god-awful stupid ass factory. God damn it.”

Neil then hears the phone ring, but it’s not Ollie speaking, it’s Catnap. “LEAVE PLAYCARE OR I’M COMING FOR YOU!”

Neil is surprised to hear him talk, he only ever heard him talk from the VHS Tape. Neil takes the green battery and he stumbles and coughs some more, he wipes away some tears, and doesn’t know why that happened. He leaves the office, and then puts the battery in and feels like collapsing.

Neil then sees, a folder he never noticed when he came into the place. He takes a seat, and reads what’s inside, and he sees the name… Theodore "Theo" Grambell, and so he reads all the information about this Theo, and his eyes go wide, and is shocked.

Neil stands up, and he puts the folder into his backpack, and he takes a deep breath, he does cough a bit and then calms down. Neil does wipe away some more tears, and he punches the wall, now he knows the truth behind the monstrous cat that’s been stalking this territory, and who he really is.

‘I… I have to find him… I must find him… Catnap… Theo… I’m sorry, I will… I will find you!’

He goes down the hallway, ready to leave the Counselors Office Building, and he can hear the sound of Ollie talking to him on the phone, but his hearing is muffled, and as he walks, more red smoke comes through, but from the vents, and he doesn’t have a gas mask on and keeps on going.

Then he leans onto the wall, and he can hear screaming of people, and Huggy Wuggy shrieking.

He trudges his way for the door, and he can hear people screaming, and Mommy Long Legs laughing.

He makes it to the door, where he hears more screaming, and something monstrous roaring.

Neil has left the Councilors Office Building, with the Red Smoke still inside, and he coughs out some of the Red Smoke, and everything is now getting blurry, and hearing is now muffled. But he sees, several figures running towards him.

From Home Sweet Home, it’s Huggy Wuggy, Kissy Missy, Mommy Long Legs/Marie Payne, and Miss Delight with Catnip on her head, and they call out his name, and before he can reach for them, he collapses to the ground and passes out, with the last thing he sees, is a crying Mommy Long Legs.

The phone falls from his hand, with Ollie trying to call out, and ask what has happened to their strange Angel of Playtime.

Chapter 15: Some much needed Rest

Chapter Text

Time to wake up, and just take some time, and rest. I hope you all enjoy reading this new one guys.
Saving Playtime.
“Some much needed Rest.”

The sounds of people screaming, and the sounds of people dying, the sounds of monsters screaming, shrieking, and roaring, and the sounds of total silence…

….

Neil blinks, and he slowly opens his eyes, and he looks around. There are lights, and he’s laying on some soft ground, and he stops and sees, he’s at one of the bedrooms within Home Sweet Home, the door is barricaded, and the windows sealed, and the beds and furniture moved away.

Mattresses are all over the floor, with some pillows and blankets, and he’s not alone.

Sleeping next to each other and not too far are Huggy Wuggy and Kissy Missy. Miss Delight sleeping while sitting, and yes, she has eyelids and her eyes are closed, with Catnip sleeping on her lap.

To the left of Neil is DogDay asleep, still doesn’t have a lower half. Neil feels, someone hugging him, and its Mommy Long Legs/Marie Payne, and it looks like she cried a lot too, and she doesn’t let go of him. He understands why, and he can see that they all have been working together, to stay alive.

Then Neil spots someone, stuck on the wall of the room, it’s none other than Poppy Playtime, she’s asleep with her mouth webbed up and he sighs in relief. ‘At least she’s on her best behavior. But we are not letting her down unless we need answers.’

He can see his backpack in the corner of the room, alongside his Grabpack and even Huggy’s Grabpack. He does see, some spiked spears are impaled near the window, which means they turned the outside of Home Sweet Home into a fort to ensure nobody comes in.

Neil then looks to Mommy Long Legs, and he touches her face, and he wipes away some of the tear stains, and kisses her forehead, this causes her to slowly open her eyes, and she sees his smile. “You’re a brave and strong girl, Marie. I’m proud of you.”

Mommy Long Legs is surprised to see Neil is now awake, and she starts to cry more tears again, and she embraces him. Neil hugs her back and comforts her. “I thought… Y-You would never w-wake up again!” This alarms the others, and they also wake up and are surprised to see Neil is now awake.

They all scramble, and head on over to hug him, and so he embraces them all and can hear them whimpering and crying. He knows that they must’ve been super concerned on what would happen to him from within the Counselors Office.

Poppy also wakes up and sees this, she sighs in relief and glad he’s fine. She wishes she can get down and be there, but she knows they still don’t trust her after what she did.

The large group depart from the hug, and Huggy brings the backpack closer, and Neil wipes away the tears to some of the toys, and he looks to DogDay. “How’re you holding up, Sunshine?”

“Better, and the pain is gone, Angel” replied DogDay. “Miss Delight found some pain killers, and they work. I just… This’ll be hard to handle when trying to leave, I don’t have any legs. But, I know you’re going to have answers on how to fix this.”

Then Kissy Missy points to Miss Delight, and she sighs. “Yeah, I get it. My face is broken, what else is new? Still, this is something else for me to try and handle. My limbs are almost stiff, and they make me hobble, and of course, my face that looks like I got out from an accident.”

Neil recalls something. “There’s a room I saw, all boarded up. If we can break that open, then we might find some spare parts for DogDay and Miss Delight.”

This surprises her, and she knows which room he means. “The Emergency Medical Room, which is also a Parts and Services Room. I don’t understand why it got all boarded up though.”

Neil then grabs some food from his backpack, which are just sandwiches, and more strawberries, peanuts and trail mix. He hands them around, and they all share, and enjoy the food. “Guys, tell me… What happened after I passed out?”

Mommy Long Legs is the first one to speak. “We brought you all the way back into Home Sweet Home and then some Ruined Critters came out from the Toy Store and tried to get us all. But we fought them back, and made sure they were sent away running.”

“We had to board up the doors, and seal all windows” replied DogDay. “There were so many, but when it was all over, the others left the orphanage while I remained here guarding you.”

This confuses Neil. “Wait, what? Why did you guys—”

“Ollie” replied Miss Delight. “We needed to finish the task, and you were out and so we did it for you. We took the cord from the Counselors Office, and then plugged it in underneath the statue. We kept following his instructions on what to do, until we got out hands on a blue battery.”

They look to the large Blue battery at the other corner. “We won’t put it into the Gas Production zone, without you” replied Mommy Long Legs. “Ollie tried to get us to do it, but we denied his request. His phone is outside of the Orphanage. We chose to come back here, and wait for you to… Wake up.”

Neil smiles hearing this. “I’m so proud of all of you. For working together, and keeping each other safe. Watching each other’s backs, and making sure each and every one of you were safe from whatever else would come and attack. You’re all stronger, when you all work together.”

Huggy then growls and snarls, to which DogDay translates. “All inspired by you. You managed to save us all, and promised to give us a home and be free from this factory. We owe you so much, for trying your best, and helping us. Changing us.” Huggy nods, and he goes over and hugs Neil, to which he hugs him back.

They depart from the hug, and then he grabs a bottle of water from his backpack, and there is something inside Catnip notices, and he goes closer, and looks at it, to which Neil notices, and he looks inside. “Oh snap. I forgot this was still in here, I completely forgot, and thank goodness this hasn’t been damaged.”

He brings it out, and they all gather and see the box. “Is that a robot?” asked Miss Delight.

“True, but it has a name. This is something I have been planning to find since last year. The Real Grade RX-78-2 2.0 Gundam from Bandai. This is technically a model kit, which means I have to assemble all the moving parts, pieces, plates and accessories.”

This surprises them. “So, like Make-a-Friend?” asked Mommy Long Legs.

“Well, almost. Just more complicated, and only an expert can be able to assemble this. You can say, this is a Toy well, Action Figure for those who collect and like to assemble” replied Neil. “I plan to assemble this thing when I… When we, get back home. Also, I don’t wanna be bothered when I assemble this, it needs a lot of concentration.”

They all remain silent, and understand. “Gee, toys sure have changed over the years. Now folks have to assemble their own toys now.”

“True, but there are other toy companies who are big names, and conquering the toy industry with the marketing, promotion, franchises and series. From Hasbro, Mattel, Kenner, even comic book franchises such as DC and Marvel” replied Neil. “Things sure have changed, and this Gundam was released last year.”

Then something else comes to the mind of Mommy Long Legs, and she asks. “Neil, Mommy has something to ask. What’s the date today?”

Neil then grabs his cell phone, and they are surprised to see this piece of technology, and then Miss Delight asks. “What’s that thing?”

“A Cellular Phone, well Cell Phone for short, and this one is a touch screen one and the best tech to have ever been built for the twenty first century.” This makes the Toys wide eyed, and shocked, and then Neil checks the date. “Holy smokes. I’ve been gone for that long only. Well, the current date now is August 8 2025.”

Total silence is left in the room, DogDay stops eating, Catnip remains shocked. Miss Delight’s jaw feels like it’s going to drop, and she drops her sandwich. Huggy and Kissy are already jaws open, Mommy Long Legs right eye twitches, and Poppy… Well, her eyes are wide in horror.

‘Wait, wait! But, I thought it has been ten years! Did time fly by while I was trapped in that case?!’

Then Mommy Long Legs breaks the silence. “W-What?”

Neil nods. “It’s all true. The date is now… Wait, what’s wrong with you guys?” Then he sees how they’re all still shocked, and then something comes to his mind. “You guys didn’t know, did you? The factory closed in August 8, 1995 and that would mean—”

“We’ve been trapped in here… For thirty years?!” asked DogDay. “What the heck?! How did we not know that?!”

“Well to be honest, the clocks are all broken, we don’t have new calendars and nobody has ever left the factory” replied Miss Delight.

But then they hear Mommy Long legs giggle, and then she laughs maniacally, and they all back away, but not Neil, then she stops entering her deranged mode and she calms down and starts to cry. Neil goes over, and he embraces Mommy Long Legs, to which she returns the hug. Huggy Wuggy goes over, to also give a comforting hug for her.

The others don’t blame her, even they’re still surprised that they have been stuck for so long, and they thought it was around ten years, but it’s been way beyond that, and now they wonder just how different the world has been since they remained trapped in their own prison/hell.

They depart from the hug, and Neil looks to all of them. “I’m sorry you guys were stuck here for so long, but you all pulled through and stayed strong despite the loss of sanity. But it will be over soon, we’re all getting out of this Factory—” He looks to Poppy sternly. “And then we’re going back to my home, end of story.”

Poppy didn’t like the sound of this, and then DogDay sees the document from the bag and he reads this. “Angel, is this… Catnap?” The others notice this and read the document, and are surprised by the truth.

Neil starts to clean up the food and drinks. “Guys, I am not going to kill Catnap.” This surprises them all. “I know that he’s lost in the head, obeying the Prototype, and just seeing him as his god and savior. But, I know that he’s scared inside, scared to disappoint that monster, and afraid of what would happen to him. I will try everything I can, to get Catnap to wake up, and remember who he was, Theodore Grambell, and then he’s coming with us.”

Poppy is horrified hearing this and she feels like it’s a terrible idea. But the others aren’t surprised or scared. Because they have all been down that road. He did after all help Mommy Long Legs, gained the trust of Huggy Wuggy and Kissy Missy, and even saved Miss Delight from her sanity, and hunger.

“Whatever works, but if something goes wrong, then that big bad cat is going down” replied Miss Delight, and she picks up her weapon.

“We’re all with you on this, and we believe you can do it” replied DogDay, and then Kissy Missy picks up DogDay, and Catnip sits on her head. Huggy Wuggy hands Neil his Grabpack, and he puts it on.

Mommy Long Legs goes towards him. “You managed to change me, before I got killed. I believe you can do the same for Catnap, and help him. He’s lost, and all through sanity and loyalty. I am alright with this plan, and maybe I can help you too.”

Neil smiles hearing this. “Thanks everyone.” They all gather for a group hug, then they depart and Huggy Wuggy picks up the battery, and they look towards Poppy who still remains stuck. “I forgot about her. We have to bring her with us anyway.”

(Later, at the Gas Production Zone.)

Walking towards the place, is the large group. Neil Spellman, Huggy Wuggy, Mommy Long Legs, Kissy Missy, Miss Delight, DogDay and Catnip. But then Neil spots something on the ground while on their way, a VHS Tape, and so he picks it up and they see what’s inside.

Another audio recording, of a familiar voice the toys know, and they all say one name. “The Doctor.” Neil doesn’t know who it is, but they watch and listen to this recording.

Harley Sawyer: "Log-code 24459. In relation, Experiment 1006, the Prototype. Stubborn as he is, and always silent with each passing session, I'm still uncovering fresh data nonetheless. Today's discovery? --"
The Prototype makes some garbled audio sounds.
Harley Sawyer: "Hmph. End of log. Hmmm. Ready to talk now, are you?"
The Prototype: "I... possess... a question."
Harley Sawyer: "Go ahead..."
The Prototype: "Do you... feel... anything?"
Harley Sawyer sighs: "This question referring to what, exactly?"
The Prototype: "You stick us. Beat us. Tear at flesh. Do you feel it?"
Harley Sawyer: "There is a secret inside you, 1006, valuable beyond all measure. I cut and prod and burn at it, and I get closer with each session... So, speak, or don't. Fight, or give in. Regardless, I learn something new about you every day..." he then laughs. "It excites me!"
The Prototype: "Thank you."
Harley Sawyer: "You... thank me?"
The Prototype: "Absolutely!" then it mimics the voice of Harley Sawyer. "I learn something new about you every day."

The Tape ends, and Neil is surprised by that voice. “W-Was that… The Prototype?” They all nod, and have some fear. “Good lord, and this Harley Sawyer, whom you guys call the Doctor… Is he the one who—” He sees them all nod, and some of them are nervous. “My god. The man who made this happen. The one who…” He looks to the VHS. “Took your lives away.”

 Just then, they hear the phone ring, and so Neil answers it, and it’s Ollie. “Hey, glad you got your rest. Now take that huge battery to the Gas Production Zone, so we can get out of here! It's the door by the cable car you arrived on. Good luck.”

“Gotcha” replied Neil. “Alright guys, we plug this in, and then it’s all over and we can leave this place.” Huggy hands him the big blue battery, and he heads over to insert it inside, but then the ventilation shaft opens, and Catnap comes out, and he breathes out Red Smoke.

“YOU ARE ALL JUDGED!” He breathes out more Red Smoke, and surprisingly more Red Smoke emerges from the nearby vents, and they all witness Catnap change his form into a pale, and bony looking nightmarish Catnap.

Neil then yells. “Run! To the Elevator!” They are all horrified, and they all make a run for it to the elevator, but Neil and Huggy see Mommy Long Legs is not moving, and she is horrified seeing this form of Catnap, and bringing back horrible memories, the nightmares she got, back when she was a human, Marie Payne.

Huggy Wuggy grabs Mommy Long Legs, and he runs alongside Neil to the elevator, and he pushes the button, and they’re all headed up, but then they see Catnap climbing outside of the elevator. They watch as he climbs off elsewhere, and they all catch their breath.

“We’re all exposed to Red Smoke, and this is bad…” They see Catnip seems fine. “Right, a Catnap plush which is immune to the whole Red Smoke, convenient at least.” The elevator stops, and they are now located someplace else.

“Alright listen up. We need to split up, I know Catnap is after me, so I will lure him out of the area. Get back to the Gas Production Zone, get the Power up and running, and get the power transferred to the other side so we can get the hell out of this place!”

DogDay then asks. “But, what about you Angel?!”

Neil sees the nearby Panic Room. “I’ll hold him off, buy you guys some time. Once you guys finish, head back to the center of Playcare, if I don’t come back… Then come find me. Got it?” They all are unsure, but they can see the stern and determined look in his eyes, and this means he’s serious. “Besides, I’ve been exposed to this Red Smoke, and none of these nightmares are even mine. So, just bring it.”

But then Mommy Long Legs grabs Neil. “I’m coming with you!”

“Marie, no. I can’t—”

“No! No! No more denying this, I am coming with you! You have been going to places filled with danger, and coming out in a terrible state too many times. I am coming with you and I am helping you! You told me, that I am stronger, more agile and possibly, someone Catnap can’t take down. I know that his form, this form he has scares me… But, I am a brave and strong girl.”

Neil is surprised, and he smiles. “Yeah, you are.” He sighs, and nods. “Alright, alright. You can come along with me.”

But then Kissy Missy takes Neil’s backpack, to keep it safe. Neil nods, and then they watch as Miss Delight, DogDay, Catnip, Huggy Wuggy and Kissy Missy race off to finish the task. Oh, and Kissy Missy is still carrying the webbed up Poppy Playtime.

Neil and Mommy Long Legs looks towards the Panic Room, and they see the sign, it is also a Safe Room, and they both venture in there, to deal with Catnap.

To be continued…
A/N: Time to go and see if they can save or remove that Cat from their goal. Time to say hello to Catnap, one final showdown! I hope you guys enjoyed reading this.

Chapter 16: The Purple Cat

Chapter Text

The showdown in Playcare has begun, the showdown between Neil Spellman with Mommy Long Legs, against the follower of the Prototype, Catnap. I hope you all enjoy reading this new one guys.
Saving Playtime.
“The Purple Cat.”

Neil Spellman and Mommy Long Legs enter the center of the Safe room, and they look around and see Power Outlets, Battery inserts, and they need batteries, and outside their perimeter is Red Smoke, and then Ollie calls them.

"I hope this is coming through... There's no time to waste! CatNap is on his way. The room you're in used to be a sort of panic room. It's... not what it used to be, but it can protect you. Learn how it works. Try putting the batteries in the different glowing spots."

Neil and Mommy Long Legs, puts two batteries in slots, one that powers a green hand charger, and another that triggers the release of steam from a pipe, blocking a hallway. This surprises them, and now they know what this place is useful for.

"Good! Okay... now, in between the hallways, there's those two side rooms, on both the left and the right. There'll be green power receivers in those little rooms. They can block off the hallways before CatNap gets to you. Try them!"

Neil activates one of the receivers thus releasing more steam.

"Good! If you see CatNap, use those. You're probably gonna hallucinate a bit. It'll be hard to tell what's real and what's fake. Try using your flares on CatNap to make sure he's real. He's almost there! There might be a way to kill him, if you can hold out. Do you see that computer terminal? Progressively use the batteries to fill the surrounding slots! Please, don't die."

Neil and Mommy Long Legs look to each other, and nod. They both work together, to bring Catnap down.

They then see, at the hallways is Catnap standing there, and so Neil fires a flare, and the illusion is gone. Catnap is making hallucinations of himself, and he’s obviously hiding someplace waiting for the right time to strike at them.

Mommy Long Legs swaps the battery, and she inserts a battery into the top left of the four slots. A three-minute timer (displayed in seconds) starts on the terminal, followed by CatNap's loud footsteps being heard around the area.

Neil shoots the flare gun, and this causes the illusion to fade, but then he turns on the steam and this causes Catnap to flee the area. “We gotta hold him off, till the seconds are done!” But then the timer reaches 135 seconds, and it stops as an alarm from the terminal is made.

They see the display notifies it needs a battery inserted. Seeing no choice, Mommy Long Legs removes another battery, leaving one of the halls exposed, and she inserts the battery in the top right and the timer continues. Catnap, the real one walks towards the hall, but Neil takes one of the other batteries off and plugs it in to deploy more steam sending Catnap backing away and hiding.

But then an alarm is heard, and they look up and see the hatch in the ceiling slowly opens, and Catnap is up there. Mommy Long Legs grabs the hatch and she slowly pulls it back and closes it. She then grabs a pipe, bends it and uses it to keep the hatch above closed.

They continue fending off CatNap and his hallucinations, inserting two more batteries at the terminal at the 90 and 45 second marks, which consequently opens the other hallways. “When is this going to end?! How long must we keep him occupied?!” replied Mommy Long Legs, and she looks around for any signs of Catnap, and the hatch above makes a banging sound, but won’t open which is good.

But then, the timer reaches zero, and the green hand charger above the terminal is now overcharged. Neil uses the Grabpack green hand to take the power, but then Catnap leaps from out of nowhere, he knocks away Mommy Long Legs and she stumbles away. “Marie!”

But then Catnap pins Neil, and is closing onto him “Theo, don’t do this!” This makes Catnap stop, and is shocked by what he heard, then Catnap steps onto the arm of Neil, and this triggers the Grabpack to launch the Green electrified hand, and it hits Catnap and he panics, and is electrocuted and screams in pain. “No! Theo!”

Mommy Long Legs also sees this and is horrified, they both remember the file, on what happened that day, to the boy who was Theodore Grambell.

Catnap then tries to deploy Red Smoke, but the electric spark triggers, and it causes the Red Smoke to ignite and he’s engulfed in flames, causing Catnap to panic and scream. Neil grabs the nearby fire extinguisher, and he uses it on Catnap to put out the flames. The fire fades, and Catnap is not full burnt, but he is in pain.

Then they see the hatch break open, and this makes Mommy Long Legs back away in fear, and they look up and see, the hand of the Prototype appears, and he offers his hand to the downed Catnap, and so he slowly sits up and looks to his god, but Neil notices something else, the hand is slowly reeling back… To strike it’s claws at Catnap!

“No!” Neil tackles the arm away, and the claw misses Catnap, and this surprises Catnap. Neil has his knife, and he stabs the arm of the Prototype once more, and this makes the Prototype panic, and try to get him off. Seeing the courage and strength of this human who is not an employee, wakes up something inside of Catnap, something he forgot. The longing of someone, who would actually care about him.

Neil then yells. “Marie! Get Theo out of here now!” This alarm Catnap again, and Mommy Long Legs is about to head for Catnap, but she is knocked away by the thrashing arm of the Prototype, and so Catnap backs away and avoids getting hit, but then Neil is thrown to the wall, and he gets back up.

Neil wipes away blood from his mouth, and he smiles and looks to the Prototype. The large arm looks angry and ready to fight, and Neil smirks. “Alright then, come and face me you ugly mother fucker!”

The Prototype attacks Neil, but he ducks down and he starts to stab the arm, only to be grabbed, and thrown towards another wall, but he stabs the arm and he’s dropped to the ground, but Neil charges at the arm again, and he dodges the attack, and stabs it again, and this time the arm starts to bleed.

Neil then goes onto the arm and he avoids the claws, and tries to cut more into the arm, but he’s grabbed at the leg and thrown onto the ground and hits the wall. Neil struggles to stand, and he spits out some blood. The Prototype growls and is enraged.

“Well, what the hell are you waiting for? An open invitation, reindeer games? You are not taking Theo, you are not taking Marie! You are not taking any of them! Because I have something you will never have…” The Prototype lunges in fast, and Neil gasps and groans, and he sees the claws of the Prototype have pierced through his right shoulder. But something is wrong, and something is injected into him.

This enrages Catnap. “ANGEL!” Catnap leaps and attacks the arm of the Prototype, and he bites hard, and scratches the arm, causing it to bleed. Mommy Long Legs sees this and she roars in anger, and she starts pulling and trying to rip apart the arm of the Prototype.

The Prototype panics, and tries to shake them off, but they remain attached and keep on attacking, trying to get this thing to let go of Neil. But then Mommy Long Legs grabs the knife, and she stretches her hand into the vent, and she stabs at something big and soft, and this large and ominous shriek is heard, and the arm let’s go.

Catnap and Mommy Long Legs let go, and watch as the Prototype retreats back into the vent with a broken arm. Then they turn around and see Neil fall to his knees, he looks to Catnap and Mommy Long Legs with surprised, and tired eyed, and he coughs out blood, and collapses, but Catnap races over and carries him over his back.

Mommy Long Legs has tears, and fear takes hold, but then Catnap speaks. “MOMMY LONG LEGS WAKE UP! WE MUST HELP THE ANGEL! FOLLOW ME!” Mommy Long Legs is startled by this, but she shakes it off, and she nods. She grabs the Grabpack, and she follows Catnap out of the labyrinth, they both race out of the safe room, but then they stop and hear giggling, and snarling.

They both look around and see the Ruined Mini Critters have arrived, and they all look to Catnap, and they all chant. “HERETIC! HERETIC! HERETIC! HERETIC! HERETIC! HERETIC! HERETIC! HERETIC! HERETIC!” This is not good, and so they both continue to run as the servants of the Prototype give chase.

Catnap does deploy his Red Smoke which covers all of the Mini Ruined Critters, and then he looks to Mommy Long Legs. “NOW!” This makes her remember, what happened earlier, and she uses the Grabpack Flare hand, and she fires the flare as they run, and it makes contact with the Red Smoke, and the entire area ignites into a fiery explosion.

Mommy Long Legs and Catnap race away from the blast, and they escape to find the others, and help Neil from his injuries. But deep inside, Neil is still awake, and he slowly blinks and feels the world shaking as he’s on the back of Catnap.

He slowly closes his eyes, and the last thing he sees, is a bright light from a medical room, and the next thing he sees… Is the Main Lobby, with lots of people, and then Huggy Wuggy, attacking him like a ravenous animal, followed by multiple horrific scenarios, playing over and over and over and over… Again…

To be continued…
A/N: They may have forced the Prototype to retreat again, but at what cost? Now Neil is in danger, and only the toys can save him. I hope you guys enjoyed reading this.

Chapter 17: To save their Angel

Chapter Text

The Angel is wounded… Wings wounded… Body and Mind hurt… They must save him… To ensure, he keeps… His Promise, to them all. I hope you all enjoy reading this new one guys.
Saving Playtime.
“To save their Angel.”

At the Gas Production Zone, Miss Delight comes out with Kissy Missy who is carrying Poppy and DogDay, Huggy Wuggy and Catnip. They head for the statue at the center of Playcare, but they don’t have the phone. “Dang it, we don’t have the phone to tell Ollie that we did it.”

“We’re going to have to wait for Angel” replied DogDay. “He will return, I know it!”

Just then, Poppy Playtime breaks free from her webs, and she escapes from Kissy Missy, and this startles the group. “Finally, I managed to get out of those disgusting webs.” She then looks to the others. “I didn’t think many of you would become part of this, but you have to listen to me—”

“You mean you’re plan involving killing the Prototype?” asked DogDay. “Poppy, do you even hear yourself right now?”

“We are not going deeper underground, it’s far too dangerous even if there is a Safe Haven” replied Miss Delight. “We don’t even know what horrors the Prototype has made down there.”

“And that is why we need him! He might not be the employee I sent to come, but he’s strong, he’s done things that nobody has done! He managed to survive everyone, and even the Playcare horrors and now he’s facing Catnap! He even managed to bypass Huggy to—” She then stops and realizes what she’s saying.

This gets their attention, and even Huggy Wuggy, and he recalls something and growls, to which DogDay can understand. “Wait, wait. There were, others before the Angel showed up?” They all look towards Poppy. “Poppy Playtime. What did you do?”

Just then, an explosion is heard and the ground shakes. “What the heck was that?” asked Miss Delight, then they see two figures come out from a door nearby, and its Mommy Long Legs and Catnap, and right there on the back of Catnap, is an unconscious and bleeding Neil Spellman.

This horrifies the Toys, and Miss Delight gasps, they race over and check on him. “What happened to him?!”

DogDay is surprised to see his former friend. “Catnap? You’re alive?” But he can see some burn marks, and even Poppy wasn’t expecting this monster to live.

“NO TIME!” Catnap hands Mommy Long Legs the unconscious man, and they follow him towards he barred emergency medical and spare parts room, and he charges towards the doors, he pounces and breaks the wooden planks down with his claws, and he enters. “IN HERE! QUICKLY!”

They are all surprised by what he just did, and they all head inside, and they don’t even notice Poppy following them. They pass down a hallway, and go to a room on the right, where many beds are placed like one of those old-fashioned British hospitals for recovery.

They place Neil onto the bed, and Miss Delight sees Catnap push over a cart with several tools for medical use. “SAVE HIM DELIGHT. SAVE THE STRANGE ANGEL OF PLAYTIME.”

Miss Delight looks to everyone, all eyes on her, and with determination she puts on the face mask, and gloves, and she grabs some tools to get to work in stitching the damages, but he has to cut the shoulder to see any internal bleeding damage, and with the help from Kissy Missy and Catnap.

Huggy Wuggy and DogDay guide the others out of the room, and they even place DogDay onto a wheel chair, and even though he would want to be patched up, and get new legs. Now is not the right time, and all they can do is wait for Neil to awaken.

Mommy Long Legs has tears, and she wipes them away. Huggy Wuggy gives her a comforting hug, and so does Catnip, and she starts to cry and hug them both. DogDay also feels bad for her, and he can see that Neil Spellman fought and got hurt, trying to save Catnap.

Poppy sees all of this, and she now sees just how truly capable this stranger is, far more capable than what she would have ever expected, and perfect for her plan.

(Thirty Minutes Later.)

The other toys wait outside of the room, and then the doors open and they see Miss Delight, Catnap, and Kissy Missy. DogDay then asks. “Well, what happened?”

“Surprisingly, he didn’t lose much blood” replied Miss Delight. “I even managed to figure out what blood type he is, and thankfully there are some still useful blood bags within Playtime’s medical storage which are his type. I’m surprised the blood bags have remained fine after thirty years.”

Catnap is wide eyed and looks to her in shock. “WHAT DO YOU MEAN THIRTY YEARS?”

“That one is hard to explain, Catnap” replied Mommy Long Legs, and then she embraces Miss Delight. “Thank you. He would be so proud to see the teacher become an amazing doctor.” Miss Delight hugs her back and has some tears, she too feels like she has truly done good, and redeemed herself.

DogDay then goes towards Catnap. “A word please, follow me.” DogDay then he looks to Huggy Wuggy. “Keep an eye on Poppy, and don’t let her leave your line of sight, same with you Catnip.” They both nod, and ensure Poppy doesn’t leave.

DogDay and Catnap leave the medical office, and are now outside and looking throughout Playcare. DogDay sitting on the wheel chair, and Catnap sitting by his side. “So, he saved you, didn’t he?”

“HE DID. HE CHOSE TO SAVE ME AND WENT INTO HARMS WAY TO ENSURE I LIVED. HE IS TRULY OUR SAVIOR, OUR ANGEL WHO WILL FREE US.”

DogDay nods. “You should know, he’s doing this because he found your file, about the whole incident back when you were… Human.”

This surprises Catnap, and he looks towards his old friend. “Neil cares about you, because he doesn’t want us to suffer. You got hurt yes, but to be turned into this, is beyond wrong and messed up, Same with me, and Mommy Long Legs, and everyone else.”

“I know that, you owe the prototype for saving you, seeing him as your god and savior because of that fateful day before you became what you are now. I don’t know if I can ever forgive you, after all you’ve done Moonshine. But all I can say is, you can try and earn it all back.”

Catnap looks down and feels guilty for all he has done. “I… I UNDERSTAND.”

“I forgive you Catnap.” This makes the large purple cat perk up. “Because you did exactly that. You chose to save the Angel, you chose to get him help, and you chose to fight against the monster you once called a god. You have changed, and it took thirty years for that. I missed ya Moonshine, and I even forgive you for doing this to me, because I know you needed to feed the others, and was controlled by the Prototype.”

“THE PROTOTYPE MEANS NOTHING TO ME NOW. SHOULD THE FALSE GOD RETURN THEN I SHALL DESTROY HIM PERSONALLY TO ENSURE THE SURVIVAL OF OUR ESTRANGED ANGEL.”

“ALSO, THERE COULD BE A WAY TO GET YOU NEW LEGS. THEY ARE LOCATED WITHIN THE MEDICAL FACILITY AT A SECRET ROOM THAT HAS MANY UNRELEASED SPECIAL PARTS FOR NOT JUST YOU, BUT ALSO FOR MISS DELIGHT. I WILL HELP YOU BOTH GET FIXED.”

DogDay smiles, and likes the idea. But then he thinks about it. “How about we wait for our Angel to wake up? Would seem right, so he can see what could be fixed and done.” Catnap nods, and so they both walk inside to speak to the others.

Then Catnap asks. “WHAT DID THEY MEAN EARLIER? THIRTY YEARS? HOW LONG HAVE WE BEEN WITHIN THIS FACTORY?”

(An hour later.)

Everyone else is talking outside the room, but they don’t know that Neil’s hand twitches and moves, and feels like grabbing something, and then he slowly opens his eyes, which now seem bloodshot. He slowly sits up, and he sees the bandaging to his shoulder, and he sighs.

Neil gets out of bed, and some blood drips to the floor beneath his feet. He puts on his shirt, which starts to stain with blood for some reason, and then his jacket, he grabs his Grabpack and he drags his backpack on the floor, and he hears the others talking.

“What is wrong with you?! We are not going down there below the factory!” yelled Mommy Long Legs.

“Because we need to end this! The Prototype has to be stopped!” replied Poppy.

“IT IS A FOOLISH PLOY. THE ANGEL CANNOT SURVIVE DIRECT CONTACT CONFLICT WITH THE PROTOTYPE. HE MIGHT NOT SURVIVE THE OUTCOME OF A FINAL BATTLE AGAINST THE TRUE POWER OF THE MONSTER WE ARE ALL FACING.”

“I agree with Catnap” replied DogDay. “Poppy, we’re done here. Once he’s awake, we’re all leaving this horrible, horrible place. Do you not see what kind of damage he’s gotten himself into?!”

“But he has managed to withstand so much, and change so many toys. He changed all of you for the better—”

“Because he understood the pain we went through, and also he’s a pretty sensitive person with a good personality and a heart to try and help others! He never even came here for your plan, all he was looking for is a Catnap plush, the ones recalled long ago!” replied Miss Delight.

Catnap is surprised to hear this. “WHAT?”

“But he changed his plans, and surely he can change it again once I tell him my full plan!” replied Poppy. “We need him to head down there, we can use the lift, and then find the others and—”

“We are not going down there, and that is final young lady! Do not dare to talk back or disobey Mommy!”

“Then you can stay here, and do whatever you want!” replied Poppy. “The Savior is who we need, it’s what my plan needs! He is the only one who can save us from the Prototype!” She doesn’t notice, the doors behind him open, and the others remain silent.

“You all might not see or understand, but I was trapped in that case for a long time! I had no way to escape, and I would be damned before I’m shoved back in there again! You can either join us to stopping the prototype or just stay behind and do nothing but be the toys who lost your sanity!”

“Take. That. Back!” She turns around, and she sees a stern and angry Neil. “You little creepy ass Doll.” They all cover their mouths, he just cursed.

But they all notice, something is wrong. Neil looks off balance, he has some blood dripping from his right hand, his eyes are blood shot, and he seems kinda pale, and exhausted and like he might collapse. Something is terribly wrong, with their estranged angel of Playtime.

“Your plan is nothing more than an unholy death sentence, and I… We will have no part to play in it!”

To be continued…
A/N: He’s awake, but something is wrong. Something is terribly wrong! I hope you guys enjoyed reading this.

Chapter 18: The Hour… Of Joy

Chapter Text

Now that he’s awake, it’s about time he learned about the truth, the horrible truth of the day everything changed, the day the factory closed, the day the Toys rose up, and fought back, with murderous intentions. I hope you all enjoy reading this new one guys.
Saving Playtime.
“The Hour… Of Joy.”

All of them are still surprised to see Neil awake, but still not looking well. Mommy Long Legs goes closer but he looks to her sternly, and this startles her to back away along with Huggy Wuggy. “Not now kids, right now. Things are about to get real.”

Neil looks down at Poppy. “Wait, savior. Listen to me, we can—” He picks her up by the back of her dress.

“I have a name. So, I suggest you say my name right, the others… Can call me whatever they want because I trust them! So, get my name right or I swear my boot is going to crush you’re head!” The others didn’t see this coming, and Catnap finds this impressive.

Mommy Long Legs smiles, she’s glad to see Neil back and awake, despite the fact he seems to be acting totally different. Poppy is a little frightened and she nods. Neil then leaves the hospital area, and the others follow.

They walk past the center of Playcare, and bypass Home Sweet Home, and the School, and they make their way back into the Gas Production Zone. They see the Red Smoke has been diverted to the left area, and that means the other room is now cleared of Red Smoke and the lift is revealed.

Neil then puts Poppy on the catwalk, and she knows what this might be all about, time for her to tell their savior about what’s been really happening.

“The Red Smoke is finally diverted, and you have done the unthinkable and though you didn’t kill them, you chose to turn them all into powerful allies.” They all don’t like to hear that, because they are more than allies to Neil Spellman.

“You might not have worked in Playtime before, but you deserve to know the truth.” This surprises the others, and they realize what she means. “This is the truth you need to see, the words you’ve seen written everywhere, it all comes down to this. The reason why the factory closed, we called it—”

“The Hour of Joy.”

They all look to Neil, they didn’t think he knew the name so quickly, and he uses the Grabpack to move Poppy aside, and insert the VHS Tape into the VCR, and the TV turns on, plays some music and footage of what happened, on August 8, 1995.

At the factory's main lobby. Several employees are walking around, with Huggy Wuggy in his statue pose in the center. Suddenly, Huggy snaps and attacks the employee closest to him and his nearby co-workers. The others begin to flee, most of them down the hallway for the Make-A-Friend machine.

At the Game Station's entrance, where several more employees are chased by Mommy Long Legs. She tears one apart and lifts three of them to the ceiling before dropping them and she laughs maniacally and goes after more employees.

Bunzo Bunny attacks a staff member and bites on their face, and PJ Pug-a-Pillar comes out of nowhere, dragging some of the employees into the darkened areas of the Game Station.

Cut to near the Water Treatment plant, where an employee is thrown downstairs from being ambushed by Mini Huggies and the Smiling Critters toys.

At the School, a single employee flees to a room, but he’s being chased by Miss Delight and her sisters, and they all smile and enter the room and kill the employee. One of the Miss Delights come out with a small tear on her skirt, and some blood on her face, and she goes after another staff member hiding.

Cut to Kissy Missy loaded on a train with three nearby employees. She throws the one on her right and crushes the left one, before chasing the third that ran away.

Cut to a hallway with Boxy Boo and several corpses. He bites the remaining employee in half and runs off. Cut to the dome of Playcare littered with bodies, with one of them still moving.

CatNap walks through and throws the body up the stairs to the Counselor's office.

The video concludes by showing rooms with only corpses present: The Make-A-Friend room, the Game Station, Playcare's dome, and the catwalk leading to the Poppy Room, all covered in bodies. The screen cuts to black.

Everyone remains silent, and then Neil takes the VHS Tape, and he speaks.

“It went on so long... so agonizingly long. They tried to hide, to run, anything to stay alive... I remember their cries: 'What's going on?' 'Why is this happening?' 'What are those things?' Senseless slaughter, that's all it really was. They killed everyone. The guilty, the innocent, didn't matter. All that death... it didn't fix anything. And then, once it was all over, they dragged those corpses down below where they'd never be found. And they... ate the bodies... to stay alive."

All of them are shocked at what he’s saying, and then Miss Delight asks. “H-How do you know that?”

“Angel, you’re not an employee. How do you know about the Hour of Joy” replied DogDay. But then something else comes to his mind. “Wait, unless…”

“THE PROTOTYPE SHOWED HIM. BUT WHEN?”

“He showed me… Everything.” Neil smirks, and he snickers, and laughs a little. “When he… Sunk his claws in, he put something inside of me…” They see some Red Smoke leaking from his mouth, and this horrifies them. “He showed me, everything… Everything, what you all did… Oh, so glorious and yet… So, so painful.”

Neil drops the Grabpack, and then his jacket, and they see the shirt he’s wearing has more blood stains than before. “But… He didn’t just show me… He made sure… I felt, it all!”

Neil removes his shirt, and all of them are horrified at what they see and even Miss Delight and Mommy Long Legs screams, DogDay and Catnap back away. Huggy and Kissy snarl and shriek while Catnip hides behind them, and Poppy Playtime is wide eyed, and horrified.

Neil Spellman’s body is covered in cuts, bite marks, scratches and open wounds, and they start to fade, and then come back and he groans and has tears, and blood comes out from his mouth, and then more scratch marks appear, and more blood comes out.

“This! This… This shit isn’t even mine… This b-blood, is not even mine!” Neil goes down to his knees, and he looks to the toys. “All of you… Are so amazing… Wonderful and… beautiful, at killing and… God, I can feel it all… Biting, scratching, clawing, and just… Straight out fucking blood shed… This feels…” He then cringes, and his eyes are now red. “So, fucking good… God, they all… They d-deserve it, all.”

“Wait, that’s not your blood?! How?!” asked Miss Delight.

Neil gives them a weak smile, and he vomits blood that is not his. “That’s a funny thing… Ask the Fraudulent God.” He then falls to the ground and passes out. This makes Mommy Long Legs scream and she grabs Neil and she brings him back to the Hospital, and the others follow, and even Poppy.

Mommy Long Legs makes it into the room, and she places Neil onto a bed, and she sees her own bite marks appear on his neck, and he winces and grits his teeth with blood coming from his nose. “Miss Delight! Hurry!” The others show up, and they all look for something to help.

“Do something! Help him!” yelled DogDay.

“DO NOT LET OUR SAVIOR DIE! SAVE HIM MISS DELIGHT PLEASE!”

“I don’t even know where to start! These wounds keep fading, and then coming back, and I think there’s some on his back and it’s not even his blood! This is the blood of every person we have ever killed in this factory! Where do I even start to help him?!” Miss Delight tries to find some way, but she sheds tears and feels like breaking down.

DogDay is in a total shock, Catnip wants to go near Neil, but Poppy stops him. Huggy and Kissy hug each other and shriek in horror, Mommy Long Legs cries, and sobs and she begs him to come back and wake up.

Catnap watches, as all of these toys, are in grief, mourn, pain. Something he doesn’t ever want to see. Catnap leaps onto the bed, startling everyone, and he points his mouth to the head of Neil, and he starts to suck the air around him, but he’s sucking the Red Smoke that comes out from his mouth, nose, and ears and from the wounds.

This also causes Neil to scream in pain, and they go over to try and stop this, but his screams change to the screams of other people, the screams they all remember, long ago during the Hour of Joy! Mommy Long Legs covers her ears, and cries. DogDay helps keep Catnap from falling, and Miss Delight stays still and watches as this happens.

Catnap keeps this up, and then they see the Red Smoke is all gone. “Catnap that’s enough!” yelled Miss Delight.

Catnap stops and he gets off, and he stumbles, and feels dizzy. “Are you alright Moonshine?” asked DogDay, even Huggy Wuggy and Catnip check on him.

“I AM FINE—OH NO--” Catnap covers his mouth, and he goes to the nearby trash can and he vomits out Red Gel and then he stops and then vomits again. This surprises them all, the Red Smoke from Neil became Red Gel within Catnap. He then stops, and is about to speak, but he goes to vomit into another trash can.

This concerns the others, but Catnap gives them a thumbs up ensuring that he is fine.

They watch as Miss Delight starts to stitch up the new cuts and wounds on Neil’s body, and with the help from Kissy Missy. Mommy Long Legs watches as this happens, and she looks away and starts to cry, Huggy Wuggy goes over and embraces her, and he too has tears.

DogDay wheels over to Catnap. “Are you alright, Moonshine?”

Catnap finishes vomiting, and he nods. “I AM IMMUNE TO THE EFFECTS AND THIS IS SOMETHING I DID NOT KNOW ABOUT. THIS IS SOMETHING ELSE SOMETHING DIFFERENT.”

Miss Delight continues to work, and she still asks. “So, the Prototype made that and injected that into him?” She finishes stitching up the cuts on the front, and with the help from Kissy Missy, they turn the unconscious Neil over so she can stitch up his back.

Catnap on the other hand is furious. “ALL THIS TIME THE PROTOTYPE MADE SOMETHING THAT IS JUST LIKE MINE AND NEVER TOLD ME?! THAT FRAUDULENT GOD WILL DIE AND I WILL BE THE ONE TO SINK MY CLAWS INTO IT’S WRETCHED HEART!

“That could mean, the Prototype made this new kind of Red Smoke, from one person….” DogDay looks to the others. “The Doctor.” This makes them tense, and this means the Doctor is alive, and it would make sense, since he is the one who aided in the creation of the Red Smoke.

Poppy just watches as everyone is in distress. Catnap and DogDay furious at who is responsible, Neil unconscious and being patched up by a stressed out Miss Delight and Kissy Missy, and Mommy Long Legs still being comforted by Huggy Wuggy, and Catnip is keeping an eye on Poppy Playtime, and the Backpack of their Estranged Angel.

‘With everyone on edge, this could be what we need… What I need, to ensure they can go along with my plan, and we can end the Prototype once and for all. I just need our savior to also come along with this. But, the Doctor made a new kind of Red Smoke, one that can be injected into someone, and to… How the heck did that even work?’

‘Red Smoke only makes hallucinations, and nightmares… This one, makes you feel everything.’ She looks to the unconscious Neil, and the blood on the ground which is not his, and this makes Poppy question how the notorious Doctor is still alive after all these years, and what else he might have made deep below the undergrounds of the Factory.

To be continued…
A/N: Good God. Whatever the heck is going on underground, does not sound good. Now they must wait again, for him to wake up from what he experienced and endured. I hope you guys enjoyed reading this.

Chapter 19: A Deal and a Way Out

Chapter Text

Time to recover, but an unexpected guest shows up to make a deal with them, if they are to escape and go home, as for Poppy… Screw her plan! It’s going to become hell all the way down there, and they are in no condition or even equipped to enter the underground zones of this unholy factory, I hope you all enjoy reading this new one guys.
Saving Playtime.
“A Deal and a Way Out.”

Laying unconscious, and still alive within the Playhouse Hospital room, is Neil Spellman. He’s been stitched up, and hasn’t woken up yet after the unknown contaminant Red Smoke was removed from his body, and the others aren’t around to monitor him, they have chosen to leave him alone.

Miss Delight is outside of the room, and speaking to DogDay and Catnap about what they found within this large room. “So, there’s a door… A large door, and it’s the Spare Parts room with… With spare parts, for myself and DogDay?”

Catnap nods. Then DogDay speaks. “We found it, but it seems locked. We think we should wait for Angel to wake up, and he could help us with putting a new face for you, and a bottom half for me.”

“THAT IS NOT ALL.” They both look to Catnap and he explains more. “FROM WHAT I BELIEVE TO REMEMBER. THERE ARE SPECIAL NEWLY MADE PARTS. ONES MEANT FOR MISS DELIGHT TEACHERS, AND ANOTHER FOR ALL THE SMILING CRITTERS. I DO NOT KNOW WHAT THEY ARE BUT THEY ARE STILL IN THERE.”

“So, upgrades?” asked Miss Delight, and Catnap nods. This surprises them. “This is… This sounds fantastic, now I don’t have to stay looking like Road Kill.” This makes DogDay and Catnap confused. “What? Neil said something about my face when he first met me.”

Th trio continue to talk, but they are unaware that Neil is now awake. He sits up and sees the blood bag is empty, and he takes it off. They were able to get some blood into his body, he sighs, and feels his body aching. “Mother of God. Everything is in slight pain, or just normal pain. Damn.”

Neil then sees his bloody shirt, and he sees a new shirt left for him, which has the Logo of Playtime and the mascots all on it. This makes him smile, and then he recalls what happened to him, and who did this to him. ‘I experienced all of it, and felt all of it and—’ He sees the stitches on his body, from the cuts, and bite marks that showed up onto him.

‘What the hell did the Prototype make? This is like, some weird ass magic shit. God, that all felt so real, to feel what the others did. I understand why the Toys would do that. It was their chance to get revenge, and end the lives of those who made them into what they are. But, they also killed those who didn’t know, the innocent and guilty were slaughtered.’

Neil then wears the shirt. ‘This Factory is filled with horrible secrets, notorious disasters and unholy ideas, treacherous ideas and emotionless experimentation. This Factory, is Science at it’s lowest and most evil. Elliot Ludwig made this Factory, to make children and Family happy, but it was Leith Pierre, Stella Greyber, and Harley Sawyer who made things worse.’

Neil sees his backpack is fine, and the two Grabpacks are there. Then he sees the blood on the ground, tissues and towels with blood, but it’s not his blood. “This has that Doctor written all over it. He made something new, something Theo doesn’t know about.” He then goes to his backpack and he drinks a bottle of water.

“When I get my hands on those higher ups at Playtime, they’re going to fucking die. Hell, I’d let the kids run rampant at their main building, and let them tear those sons of bitches apart for all they have done here!” Then he hears something, and he looks to the main vent above, and someone slowly opens it, and something comes out and looks towards the man.

Neil is not frightened, and he readies for a fight, but it makes a voice, a familiar voice. “Please. I do not mean any harm now. I just want to talk, if you’ll let me.”

Neil recognizes that voice, and he calms down and crosses his arms. “Alright, talk.”

…..

Outside at the Center of Playcare is Huggy Wuggy and Kissy Missy, laying on the grass and looking up to the artificial sky, and the lights making it look like it’s the sun. Catnip looks to the area where the explosion happened, and he walks through the burned remains of the other Ruined Critters, and he scoffs seeing them all dead.

Mommy Long Legs sits near the statues, and she is holding the box of her action figure, the one she signed and she sighs. ‘What the heck have we done? He came here, to look for a Catnap plush, and ended up doing something else. He should have left when he had the chance, but he didn’t. He got too curious, and wanted to see more, and then… He found out about me.’

‘He is far different than the humans who worked here, those people who worked here. We’re all so grateful, that at least one human came, with changed intentions to save us, and set us free. Everyone calls him the Estranged Angel of Playtime, when clearly he’s just some normal random person, who does random explorations into abandoned places. I hope he’ll wake up soon, I miss him.’

Mommy Long Legs then notices someone coming towards her, and she is not in the mood to deal with her. “What do you want, Miss Poppy?”

Poppy sighs. “Marie—”

“Don’t. Call me. That!”

Poppy is not intimidated. “Mommy, listen to me. My plan is full proof and flawless, the reason for the Red Smoke to be transferred, and what you and Catnap did, this will work. We can destroy the Prototype and put an end to his devious plans, once and for all. You have to help me reason with—”

“It is his choice, Poppy.” Mommy Long Legs looks to the signed box. “It’s what he chooses. This has nothing to do with you, and Mommy is very certain that he won’t be manipulated by you anymore, not after what you did when we were leaving on the Train!”

Poppy is still not moved or intimidated. “He has to come below, deep into the Factory. This whole thing won’t be over until the Prototype is dealt with, until the Prototype is dead! I don’t think the Prototype will even let all of you leave! You all managed to harm him, and he will come back to attack.”

“The Prototype has to die, we have all been stuck in this place for thirty years, and have lost our minds and gotten hungry over the years. We never even knew time went on by. I am sorry for what happened to the others who died, but I didn’t think that would happen. I just wanted us to get to Playcare and just try and figure things out there. I didn’t know it would happen!”

“And yet, it did and it’s all your fault” replied Mommy Long Legs, and she checks the detail on the box. “Now those toys, the Game Station Toys are gone. The Toys Neil befriended and promised to free and bring home. The good news is they’re free, the bad news is… They died in this factory, and all because of your stupid plan!” She then calms down and looks away from the doll.

This annoys Poppy, and before she can talk, they see the doors of the Hospital open, and they see Miss Delight come out, alongside DogDay, and Catnap. They see Catnap is helping support, a now awake Neil Spellman, this causes the others to sprint towards them. “Hey kids, ya miss me?”

Neil then gets off from Catnap, and he is embraced by Mommy Long Legs, Huggy Wuggy, and Kissy Missy. Catnap climbs up his leg, and hugs his head. Neil chuckles, and has some tears, and he hugs them back, and he can hear them whimper, and cry, happy to see him awake and alive.

“I missed you guys too, I’m alive, and awake now. We’re all fine now.” Neil does see, how close Mommy Long Legs is, and she cries on his shoulder, and he smiles and rubs her head. “Shhh. It’s alright, Marie. Everything is going to be alright now, I promise. I Pinky Promise.”

They all depart from the hug, and he places a kiss onto the forehead of Mommy Long Legs. “We thought you would never wake up, you… You were in so much pain, and… we don’t want to lose you.”

Neil looks to all of them going closer. “You’re not gonna lose me. We’re all in this together, and we’re all going to be alright. I’m strong, and survived everything. I survived everyone’s murderous intentions after all.” This makes Mommy Long Legs, Miss Delight and Huggy Wuggy chuckle nervously, but Catnap stays silent.

Then he sees, Poppy walk towards them. “Wow. I completely forgot you were here.”

This annoys Poppy Playtime, and then she speaks to him about something. “Neil, you must know something. Something that happened, after the Hour of Joy. Special Employees were sent back to the Factory, they are called Specialists, and they were sent here to claim parts needed to resurrect the Bigger Bodies Initiative. I know about it because it was before I was trapped in the case.”

“It was known as Project Playtime. During that, the Prototype sent several of his most dangerous Toys to handle them. Huggy Wuggy, Mommy Long Legs and Boxy Boo.” This makes Mommy Long Legs and Huggy Wuggy remember, and they didn’t feel happy that the Prototype gave them orders for that one. “But then, they stopped sending them, and stopped entirely, and this also means… Leith Pierre is alive.”

This makes the others surprised. “What?! But… How?!” asked Miss Delight.

“He had his own escape path” replied Poppy. “And it passed right by my room. He’s alive, and went to reside with the Higher ups at their building, and thus he had control to do what he wants. I am uncertain if Playtime is still in service or doing something…”

“I know, and Playtime is no more” replied Neil. “I am aware of Project Playtime and the specialists all sent here to just die. I am aware of Leith Pierre being alive, and Playtime is shutdown, otherwise I would have been stopped by some minimum waged security in the area of this factory. The Company shut down six years ago, after Mattel and Hasbro sued them for trying to copy two of their products.”

This surprises them. “Wait, how do you know that?”

“Right now, that doesn’t matter. But I do know this… I am not the only one sent here, right?” asked Neil, and this makes Poppy nervous. “Because several others came to this factory long ago and never had a chance to get passed because of Huggy Wuggy at the main lobby, and all it took was someone who didn’t work for Playtime to get passed him, no to befriend him!”

DogDay, Miss Delight, Catnip, Huggy Wuggy and Kissy Missy recall. “Yeah, Poppy. What were you talking about earlier?”

Poppy doesn’t know if she should answer, but then Mommy Long Legs grabs her, and then Neil speaks. “All this time, you have been sending letters and VHS tapes to the former workers who never showed up to come to the factory saying that they have friends who are still alive, and they ended up dead instead.”

“Ten years later, you sent one last letter and VHS tape, and that was the last one before you got captured by the Prototype and locked into the case. So, answer me this, Poppy Playtime. How many former workers did you sent to come back here to the Factory?”

All of them look to Poppy, waiting for a reply. Seeing no other choice, she answers them. “97. I sent 97 letters and VHS tapes, hoping that someone would come and save us all! To stop the Prototype!”

They all gasp and are surprised, and Huggy Wuggy is shocked. All this time that’s how many people got killed. “Poppy, how could you?”

“All those former employees, they had nothing to do with this and didn’t know the truth” replied Miss Delight.

Mommy Long Legs snickers. “Well, well. Looks like Little Miss Poppy is not so sweet and kind after all. Nothing more than a small manipulative troublesome brat who needs to be put back into the corner.”

Catnap is shocked. “SEEMS THAT YOU HAVE BECOME ONE OF US. A MURDERER.”

“I did what I had to! I needed someone to help us stop the Prototype once and for all!” yelled Poppy.

Neil sighs. “Poppy, this is a foolish idea. The times during that era, are a messed-up situation for economy and life. Things are now modern and yet I am ill equipped to even confront the Prototype who would kill me in a straight one versus one. You didn’t think this through, did you?”

“But, it will work! My plan, it’s a long time coming, and I know it will work! That’s why we need the Red Smoke, if you could just—”

“Not gonna hear it!” yelled Neil. “I showed up here, to look for something, and then things changed and I chose to leave this place with the kids. But you wouldn’t let me do that and now the others are dead because of your train rail change stunt! So, no, we’re not going deeper underground, we are going back to the surface and back home!”

Neil walks away from her, and heads back to the hospital to check the room with the spare parts, but this angers Poppy. “We are going underground right now!” They hear something, and turn around to see Poppy Playtime, in possession of a taser stick.

This surprises them, and Neil sees the way this thing looks. ‘What the heck? Playtime made taser sticks that look like something from Jurassic Park?’ He then asks. “Where on earth did you get that thing?”

“I know my way around, and you have to follow me right now! We’re going underground and we’re sticking to my plan and we’re going to destroy the Prototype once and for all! Do not walk away from this, Savior!” Poppy Playtime looks ready to fight them all.

Neil sternly looks to her. “No.” The others are also prepared to fight Poppy, even if they get hurt. But Catnap backs away, the sight of that weapon makes him remember the staff who treated him.

This upsets Poppy. “We are going deeper below the Factory right now! Follow me!”

Neil sighs, and he looks to the others. “Kids, don’t panic or freak out for what happens next.” Neil then calls out. “WHAT’S THE TIME?!”

Then a familiar voice is heard, one that Poppy hasn’t heard in a long, long time. “PLAYTIME!”

The Top of the Dome breaks open, and two large mechanical arms with toy parts emerge, and several mechanical legs like a spider, and they all back up and are shocked, and right there high above is the head, hiding in the darkness with two white eyes looking down onto them.

Catnap is wide eyed, and shocked. “NO. IT CANNOT BE!” Huggy Wuggy and Kissy Missy shriek and growl.

DogDay wheels himself back a bit and Catnip hides behind Miss Delight. “The Prototype?!” Poppy drops the taser stick and is horrified.

Mommy Long Legs goes next to Neil, to protect him but he moves aside. “Everyone calm down.” He then looks up, and waves. “Hello Elliot Ludwig.”

Hearing that name surprises everyone, and the large monster speaks. “Hello there, Mr. Spellman. Thank you for giving me the signal and it seems my daughter has gone too far.” He then sees the others. “Hello children. Sorry for the scare, and sorry that this is what I have become.”

DogDay looks to Neil. “Angel, what is this?”

“What did you do?!” asked Miss Delight.

Neil explains to them. “Guys, when Harley Sawyer made the Prototype, he dug out the remains of Elliot Ludwig, and thus created this thing. The Prototype has always been Elliot Ludwig, but he was lost, broken and filled with hatred and anger after all the experimentation, just like Poppy when they kept opening her up long ago to find the secret to her creation.”

Then the Prototype speaks. “I tried to remain as myself, but every time that wretched Doctor Sawyer kept poking me, picking on me, sticking me, I lost myself and became a broken minded monster, that sought nothing more than to destroy those who tortured me and the others. That was the day I lost my identity and my consciousness hid within this… Thing. I am truly sorry, that I couldn’t fight back.”

“But, there was one time where I did fight back, and tried to regain control… Do you remember, Theodore? The day we both tried to escape?”

This shocks Catnap, and he remembers. Back when he was a kid, and made friends with the Prototype, and tried to help it escape, and then got himself shocked by accident, and the Prototype didn’t escape, instead stayed to signal the staff to save the boy, resulting in the Prototype locked away and Theodore to become Catnap.

“YOU WERE STILL IN THERE.”

The Prototype nods. “Yes, yes I was. The Monster that is this body had every chance to escape that day, but I heard you’re cries, and I couldn’t leave a child alone to suffer or die, and so I stayed and got myself caught, to ensure you would live.”

“Then what about the rest of us?!” yelled DogDay. “Why weren’t you there to save us from what they turned us into?!”

The Prototype sighs. “Because Harley Sawyer made sure I would never escape again. He locked me deep below, and tortured me some more, and thus reverted me to being the monster filled with hatred. The sole reason why I have returned to my state, well I should thank Mr. Spellman, Mommy Long Legs and Catnap.”

Neil explains that one. “The words I spoke to him during the fight, the attack onto the arm of the Prototype, caused him to malfunction and suffer from internal damage, and thus… Elliot Ludwig was free from the control of the monster within him, the monster or demon to which symbolizes his hatred and torture. We freed Elliot Ludwig, and now he has control of this body known as the Prototype.”

This surprises them all, and they all look to the Prototype, his eyes no longer red, and just white. The voice of the man who founded Playtime, and died long ago. They feel like, he has returned to make things right. “No!” They all look to Poppy Playtime who has tears.

“You cannot be him! Elliot Ludwig died long ago, this is a trick! He’s not the founder, his soul is gone!”

Neil sighs and he shows her the document. “This is the file made by Harley Sawyer, of the first time he made life, to which explains he revived the Prototype using the remains of Elliot Ludwig, which his organs were still intact and even his heart. He revived him, in body, mind and soul. The Prototype is Eliot Ludwig, and he can’t rest in peace knowing he’s become this.”

“Poppy…” They all look to the Prototype. “I understand the frustration within you, my child. I truly do, I was also frustrated knowing that I cannot escape what I have become. But believe me when I tell you this, that I am the Prototype within, and have gained full control. It is me, Elliot Ludwig, and I am so sorry that I wasn’t there for you when they hurt you.”

“I am sorry that you got trapped in that case, I am sorry that you had to fight off against everything, and I am sorry that you didn’t have a friend to help you through those dark times, but in truth, I was always there. I kept speaking to you, through the voice of the child who died long ago.”

The prototype then changes his voice, to Ollie. “Don’t worry Poppy. I’m still here, and I won’t let anything hurt you ever again. I promise, we’re friends and together we can do anything.”

Hearing the voice of Ollie, horrifies all of them. They’ve been talking to the Prototype over the phone the entire time. “DID NOT SEE THAT ONE COMING” replied Catnap.

This infuriates Poppy, and she doesn’t know what to believe. Then the Prototype looks down to the others. “You can all leave Playtime Factory. I won’t get in your way, now that I have regained control I can make things right and fix this place. It is your choice if you wish to stay, but I know you want to come with Mr. Spellman, and live a better life after being trapped here for thirty years, and to be honest I didn’t even know time flew by.”

“The path will be cleared, and with no issues, no danger and no troubles. Take the lift, and it will lead you back to the surface, back to the main lobby above since the power to Playcare, the Lobby and Game Station have all been restored. But, I ask for one thing in return… Poppy Playtime.” They all remain silent, and don’t bother to respond.

But Poppy, she didn’t like this and sheds tears. “No! No, no you can’t have me again—”

“Done” replied Neil. “Take her back Ludwig, and treat her well, and don’t do anything rash, since Poppy has been through so much.”

The Prototype nods. “I still remember everything from before, the many times I would visit Poppy and spend time with her. I really did make many mistakes when I was alive, and shouldn’t have ignored my wife and daughter… I should have been a better father, and I will try and do it again.”

This shocks Poppy and she looks to Neil. “What are you doing?!”

“Reuniting Father and Daughter, and we’re not going with you to do this plan deep underground, because the worse case scenario is that the entire factory might collapse due to structural damage. This place has been abandoned for thirty years, so who knows how weak the underground structures are, you’d end up killing us all into the earth” replied Neil.

The others also think about this, and he has a good point. This surprises Poppy, and she backs away and makes a run for it, and they all call out. “Poppy!” But it’s too late, and she escapes the dome using a hole in the wall, and runs off someplace else.

“Oh boy” replied Neil.

“Do not worry. I’ll find her, and talk to her. She couldn’t have gone far” replied the Prototype, and they all look to him. “You can all leave this factory and go home, but I suggest getting DogDay and Delight repaired, they both look like a mess.”

This kinda annoys Miss Delight. “How many times is everyone going to mention my face?” They all head to the school, but then Miss Delight look stops Neil. “You went into the Councilors Office, right? You’ve seen the files… I need to know—”

“Where you came from and if you were ever alive?” asked Neil, and so he explains. “I did find some files, and even read one, involving you and your sisters. Miss Delight, you and your sisters are not from the remains of children. You and the other Delight’s, are made from the corpse remains of those who Huggy killed long ago, during the times whenever he would lose himself.”

“They needed to use the flesh remains for something, and so they used the flesh and other remains of the dead staff into the animatronic bodies of your sisters and yourself. They chose to make you and the other teachers alive, to save up costs on maintenance and electricity. Delight, you and the other teachers were supposed to be mindless animatronics during the 1990’s.”

“The whole thing was a plan orchestrated by Harley Sawyer, since the Bigger Bodies Initiative was something planned and going well, and so you and your sisters became part of the whole thing. Feeding you and the teacher’s food, and just tending to small necessities. Not even treating you and the other teachers as if you’re all living, and that sounds messed up and wrong.”

This makes Miss Delight shocked, and everyone else. But she sighs, and calms down. “Good to know.” She walks back into the Hospital and so do the others.

(Later.)

Inside one of the medical rooms, we see Miss Delight, along with Neil and Kissy Missy, and the trio have finishes stitching up the bottom half of DogDay, while Huggy Wuggy, Catnip and Mommy Long Legs are handling the burns that Catnap has on his body, and making sure he’s fine.

They finished the stitching and leave DogDay unconscious. “Rest easy buddy, you’ll be back on your feet in no time” replied Neil. He then looks to Miss Delight. “How long will it be before he can walk again?”

“Could be a while, but the nerves from the new bottom half should connect easily and ensure he can walk again, but the real obstacle is his experience. He’s been unable to walk for thirty years, and who knows what could happen when he wakes up, all we can do is wait, and help him along the way” replied Miss Delight.

This makes Neil nod, and he sees Catnap remains asleep after being treated of his burns, then he grabs the steel case from the box. They managed to get the new upgrade parts. “And now your turn, Miss Delight. Let’s replace your face with this new one.”

Miss Delight nods, and she sits onto the chair, they shine some lights onto her, and Neil reads the instructions, and then he goes towards her. Neil places his hands onto the side of her face, and he finds two buttons hidden near her eats, and he removes the broken face.

Neil sees, she has more flesh exposed. This makes the others silent. “I would say this is gonna give me nightmares… But I already had them earlier.” He then grabs the new face, and he places it on. He makes sure it’s secured, and tight. “Alright, and done. That was easy, and the systems would be connected to your brain to allow movement.”

They watch as Miss Delight opens her eyes, and she feels her race, it’s a soft plastic structure, like Elastic Plastic, and she can move her mouth! Her mouth is no longer a permanent smile, and she can move her cheeks, and show emotions instead of just a stuck smiling face.

Mommy Long Legs hands her the mirror, and she is surprised. “My face… This is the upgrade which never came through?”

“Seems like it, says on the case this is a prototype facial software for all Miss Delight teachers, and had it planned for installation on August 9… Oh, 1995.” They all remain silent, and feel regret for that to happen.

Then Miss Delight hugs Neil and she has tears of joy. “Thank you, thank you so much!” She does kiss his cheek, which surprises Neil and he hugs her back, he’s glad she has her face back.

Everyone else is happy for this, even Catnap who is awake, and he sees it was a good idea to have Neil open the door, and help them with these only two upgrades. “Wow. That’s good.” They all see, DogDay is standing, and he looks fine. “What?”

The group come out of the hospital and Neil explains to DogDay about his legs. “So, the legs give you more strength, and speed. They’re also durable and there were supposed to be others for the rest of the Bigger Body Smiling Critters, but were never finished. Apparently DogDay was supposed to be the first to try them out.”

“And they feel alright, and normal” replied DogDay. “I’m surprised I was able to walk by the time I woke up.” He sees they look good as new, and clean too. But he notices his upper half is not clean, which makes sense.  DogDay goes over, and embraces Neil. “Thank you, Angel, for everything.”

Neil smiles, and he hugs him back. “You’re welcome buddy.” They all gather around and have a group hug, happy and grateful for the estranged Savior of Playtime, to come and help save them, and bring them to his home, and become part of his life.

To be continued…
A/N: Surprise, a total shocker, and this is something I chose to do, but don’t worry, there will be future chapters dealing with more to come. So, everyone calm down. I hope you guys enjoyed reading this.

Chapter 20: Leaving Playtime

Chapter Text

Time for them all to leave this horrible factory, and head on home to become part of a new life. I hope you all enjoy reading this new one guys.
Saving Playtime.
“Leaving Playtime.”

The sounds of a lift is heard, and it goes up and leaves the Dome of Playcare, and onboard are Neil who is carrying his Backpack and damaged Grabpack, Huggy Wuggy who also has his Grabpack, Kissy Missy with Catnip on his shoulder, Mommy Long Legs, Miss Delight, DogDay and Catnap.

They all just patiently wait for the lift to make it up, while listening to different Playtime theme songs, the theme songs used for commercials back then from Mommy Long Legs, and the Smiling Critters. Neil then speaks. “I never knew that the Smiling Critters had a cartoon. I don’t even know if their available on the internet.”

This makes DogDay curious. “What’s the internet?” The others also want to know.

Neil realizes this, these kids have been held in Playtime during the vintage era. “Oh, well. That’s gonna be hard to explain. I’ll tell you guys when we get home. But in short explanation, it’s like a vast internal system to access a lot of information and other stuff.”

“Like a really big infinite library?” asked Miss Delight.

“Kinda” replied Neil. “You just need either a computer, a phone or some other electronic digital device that can connect to the internet signal and servers.” This makes sense to them now.

“Mommy doesn’t know how a computer works, or know how to use one” replied Mommy Long Legs, that one they all know, something Neil found within the Counselors office from Stella Greyber.

Neil also remembers, inside of his backpack he has some VHS Tapes, Documents, and Files, and he feels like this could be useful. ‘Playtime is no more, but the people who worked in higher ups still exist, if I can figure out how to spread this information to some lawyers, maybe we can sue the former higher up people, and ensure they get locked away for their crimes, especially Leith Pierre!’

The lift then stops, and they see the gates open. They all walk off the lift, and through the gate, and they go through this hallway which then leads to Make-a-Friend, and this surprises Neil and Huggy. “Wow. Good memories, right big buddy?”

Huggy Wuggy snickers, and rubs the back of his head. Then they both notice something. “CatBee!” Neil goes over, and picks him up. “You’re still here. I completely forgot about you!” He sees how much in good condition the toy is, and even Huggy Wuggy is happy to see the toy he made.

Mommy Long Legs then realizes. “Oh, this is what you made to get through that door. That makes sense, since you need to Make-a-Friend in order to enter. But then Huggy Wuggy got to you first?”

“Yeah, the first time two friends meet and one of them wants to kill you” replied Neil. “And it all started when I made this little one.” Neil then hands CatBee to Huggy, and he will carry her. The others don’t know how to even respond to what he said, but this does make Kissy snicker, and Huggy feels embarrassed.

They do spot the Machine which makes this, but they see it’s now offline. Neil does wonder, why this toy making machine even needs eyes, because it sounds weird, and almost makes it sound like, it is alive.

They all make their way through the doors, hallways, and catwalks, and they make it back to the main lobby, the place where Huggy Wuggy would stand and stay still, the place where he would act the guard dog, the place where he would kill those who would dare try and get through, and this makes Neil and Huggy recall the moment they locked eyes and met.

Neil sighs, and they go back through the hallway again, and towards the receptionist’s area, and then they see the hallway, which then leads to the archway, and the gate and leads outside… Of the Factory.

Neil steps out, and he sighs, he smiles seeing to be outside, but then he turns around and sees the others are still at the archway and not moving. “Guys, what are you all doing? Come on. There’s nothing to be afraid of.”

This makes them nervous, but then they see Miss Delight walk out, and she closes her eyes, by the time she goes out she opens her eyes, and she looks around. She is wide eyed, to feel the cool air, and he warmth of the afternoon sun, and she chuckles and giggles, and then she screams.

This startles everyone, and even Neil. “Sweet mother of… What was that about?”

Miss Delight sighs, and she calms down. “Sorry… I needed that… I needed to vent out everything… Being trapped in the—” Then they hear several more screams. They turn around and see the others have come out, and scream as well, even Catnip gives out a scream.

They all stop, and catch their breath. Neil goes over to check on them. “Are you kids alright? Feeling better?”

They all nod, and Catnap lays on the ground, and he feels the grassy ground. Catnip also joins him. This makes him smile. Miss Delight and Huggy and Kissy look around, they can see the forest, and Huggy remembers when he escaped once, and went someplace, for some reason reminded him of something, and he doesn’t know if he should even search for that place again.

Neil can tell, they’re all amazed being outside, then he looks back to the factory and he asks. “I haven’t encountered that giant Jack-in-a-Box fellow. Where’s he located anyway?”

The toys all look to each other. “WE DO NOT KNOW ANYMORE” replied Catnap.

“We think he might be roaming the halls of someplace else. But we avoid going near him” replied DogDay.

“Boxy Boo with never enter the Game Station, because he knows Mommy is capable of killing him” replied Mommy Long Legs.

“His sole purpose was to eat, er terminate anyone within Playtime who would question so much about the company” replied Miss Delight.

This surprises Neil. “Wow. Well, I’m glad I never met him.” He then goes towards his pickup truck, and he removes the leaves, and then checks the time and date on his phone. “Wow. I was gone for a long while. It’s already August 9 now, and almost 5 pm. Night time will be rolling in soon. We should get—”

He turns around, and sees the other toys looking at the Factory, and he also looks to the Factory and he sees the Prototype by the gate, and so he goes closer. “Ludwig?” The Prototype reveals his clawed hand, and gives him a gift box.

Neil takes it, and he opens it and is surprised by what it is. He reveals, it’s a Smiling Critter Box, and inside of it is a Plush Catnap. They look to the Prototype and he nods. “The Red Smoke is removed. Replaced with an actual Lavender Scent. You are now the proud owner of the newly designed Smiling Critters Catnap plush.”

This makes Neil smile, and nod. The others didn’t expect this, he got what he came for since he first entered the factory. Catnap is shocked, he didn’t think there would be actual toy Catnap’s without the horrible red smoke scent from long ago which caused the major recall.

Then the Prototype gives Neil this large box. “This contains many files, documents and more, this is all I could scavenge throughout the Factory. Use these well, and… Give Leith Pierre a piece of his harsh reality, and make sure he never ever sees freedom, ever again.”

Neil nods, but before he can take the box, DogDay does it for him. They all smile and wave to the Prototype, and he waves back. “Farewell children, enjoy the life you now have.” The Prototype retreats into the darkness of the factory, and he closes the gate.

They are unaware, that Poppy sees them from the window, and she has tears, and is furious that her plan has failed. She then stops and hears the door nearby creak open, and right there is the Prototype, her father Elliot Ludwig. “Poppy please… We need to talk and—” But she runs off, and goes into the vent.

This makes the Prototype sigh, and he heads off someplace else, to find out where she went, and try to talk to his daughter.

Neil heads to the truck and he places the box in the back, but then he sees the position of how the others will fit. Then Mommy Long Legs goes over. “How are we all going to fit on there? Some of us are quite big.”

Neil thinks about this, then he looks around and sees something, a small four wheeled trailer, which is used to carry not so large crates. The other toys also see this, and now they can see where this is going, and they all head over to drag this thing to the pickup truck.

(Later, somewhere inside the town of Thebes.)

The black pickup truck drives into the town, and past the busy streets, the people don’t seem to bother with the truck and what it’s hauling, because they know this is Neil Spellman, who once again is back with something from his urban exploration journey… Not the first time he brought back something strange.

The Black Pickup truck is towing the trailer from Playtime, it has no roof and that means the big toys at the back are visible, and they can see the town, and the people going about with the rest of their day, and how much things have changed in this year.

All of them are fascinated to see the different businesses, and the people with their phones, and the cars driving by. Neil despite being sore, is driving well, with Catnip watching from the window, and Miss Delight sitting at the front passenger’s seat, and she looks out the window and sees how everything has changed, but then again she’s never been outside the factory before.

Neil sighs, and he yawns a little. This is noticed by Miss Delight. “Are you feeling okay, Neil? Tired?”

“A little, but I can handle this. Not the first time I got tired on the drive, and everything is still somewhat sore.” Neil then checks the time. “Dinner time seems almost done. I think we should get something to eat and I know just the place.”

Miss Delight nods and she looks out the window again. “I’ve never seen the outside before, and this town seems so lively, and full of people and different locations. Everything really has changed, the last time I heard folks talk about the outside was around 1992, and they were talking about new cars and other stuff.”

Neil chuckles. “Welcome to 2025 Miss Delight. Everything here is totally different, and glad this country has an awesome woman for a president whose doing good and fixing the stupidity from the previous presidents. God, I miss Obama and his good times. Also, modern technology is advanced and helpful.”

“I wonder how education has been lately.” Then Miss Delight asks. “What was your education Neil? Good grades?”

“A lot of good grades, I learned elementary school here, Middle School, High School and even went to college, and same with my brothers. But, I’ll tell ya guys more when we get home” replied Neil.

Miss Delight nods, and Neil spots the restaurant, and so he moves the truck to go there, and parks it. The other Toys are confused by the place they have arrived to, and then DogDay asks. “What’s a Shawarma Shack?”

Inside, the dinner rush seems to be done and there are no more customers, and they’re now cleaning up everything. One of these men, is an African-American, and his name is Jason, and he finishes cleaning one of the tables. “Alright, we’re just about ready to wrap this up.” Then he calls out. “Hey Joe! We about done back there?”

“Almost, we need to double check inventory for tomorrow!” replied one of the staff members named Joe. “Also, I gotta get me a new pot. This one’s finally hit her last stride. Dang shame too.”

Then the cashier by the name is Janna finishes checking the register and also fixing some of the issues they had with it earlier. “And we’re done here. We survived another rush, and a shame that Jose couldn’t come and help out, but he’s sick. So, what the heck are we supposed to do?”

Jason laughs, and he goes to clean another table. But then the door opens, and he calls out. “Sorry buddy, but we’re closed—”

“Closed? Closed even for someone like me? That’s rude Jason.” They know that voice.

“Hey, man. Neil, been a while since—” Jason turns around and is wide eyed and shocked, and same with Janna. Joe comes out of the kitchen and sees this.

Neil smirks, and with him are Huggy Wuggy, Kissy Missy, Mommy Long Legs, Miss Delight, DogDay, Catnap and Catnip. They see the bruises, and stains on Neil, which seem like dry blood, but they are confused about the creatures with him.

“Can you guys set up a large table area, and some menus please?”

All the tables have been made to make one whole big one, and right now Neil is enjoying his Spicy Shawarma wrap, and there is plenty of food on the table, and the other Toys are also eating. Catnap is sitting on two chairs, well slouching and he eats some fish chips. DogDay is next to him, with his feet resting behind Catnap, and he is also eating a Shawarma wrap.

Miss Delight is eating with a fork and knife, and she even eats some chips. Catnip is sitting in a bowl of his own chips and eats some, and then drinks some water. Huggy Wuggy and Kissy Missy are also sitting and eating a large Shawarma Wrap, and they look to each other and smile, liking the food.

Mommy Long Legs sits closest to Neil, also enjoying her Shawarma wrap, and grabbing some fries. She drinks her glass of water, and though she prefers tea, this will have to do. Neil then wipes his hands with the napkin, and he eats some more.

His backpack and the two Grabpacks sit onto another chair, and they all just continue to have their dinner, and glad it’s just them eating. Neil will pay for all of this, and they really do need this. Something decent, warm and delicious and good to eat.

The three staff members watch this happen, and then Janna grabs the broom and sweeps some of the parts of the floor. Jason is surprised by all of this. “I honestly don’t know what the heck happened, but this kinda looks like what happened after the Avengers, man.” The others also agree.

Neil then looks to them. “We can hear you guys.” The group just doesn’t bother with the others, and return to their food, and enjoy this dinner, together as a family.

To be continued…
A/N: They have left Playtime, and are just enjoying something good to eat. I hope you guys enjoyed reading this.

Chapter 21: Welcome Home

Chapter Text

The Factory is behind them now, and everything they have been through is gone, and now they can be part of a new life, and a new home with their estranged Angel/Savior of Playtime. I hope you all enjoy reading this new one guys.
Saving Playtime.
“Welcome Home.”

The group are now back on the road, Neil driving the truck and all of them still watching as everything goes by, and they all have blankets since it is night time and the air is getting cold, and it is the month of August after all.

Neil continues the drive, all the way back to his home, and he looks to see Miss Delight is asleep at the passenger’s seat with Catnip on her lap, and he smiles. He can hear her mumbling, about food. ‘Glad they enjoyed dinner. A nice, and warm delicious dinner. Being stuck in that Factory for 30 years really has gotten to them, but now they’re free.’

Neil still remembers the other stuff he has to do, now that he has the box filled with all the documents, files and several VHS Tapes, and all of this could help lock away those from Playtime, well those who worked for Playtime as the surviving higher ups, who all kept the secrets of their crimes, and unholy horrors onto the children and made them into what they are.

‘I should show this evidence to them, to shut down those who still live and hide their crimes, but I have to be there for the kids and… Wait, wait!’ Neil looks to his jacket, and he sees the camera, is still on! The camera has been running this whole time. This means, whatever he has seen, so did the camera.

Neil smiles. ‘I think we finally got more evidence and proof, confessions and everything needed to put those bastards down for good!’ He then sees they’ve entered the other side of town, and he can see, the large gate to the Estate he lives in.

Neil takes the remote from the trucks glove compartment, and he pushes it. The truck stops in front of the gate, and the lights turn on outside by the fence and this wakes up the Toys, and they see the gate, and it opens. They look in awe, at the large home Neil Spellman lives in.

“Children, welcome to your new home, Spellman Estate.” The Truck slowly moves inside, and they see the front yard is pretty big, with some hedges and bushes, the house itself is a literal mansion. “There used to be servants here, but they chose to leave because they knew I could handle this on my own, and I did. I had a blast being here and just handling this place.”

Neil then realizes. “Oh jeez, I hope Leon and Sergei got my note and went to keep checking on the chickens.”

“You have chickens here?” asked Miss Delight.

“Yeah, a chicken coop at the back” replied Neil. “About ten chickens back there, kept safe.” They arrive to the front doors, and Neil turns off the truck. All of them leave the vehicle and trailer, and look to the large structure.

“This is where you live?” asked Mommy Long Legs.

“This place looks big, but the Factory was bigger” replied DogDay.

“THIS LOOKS NICE” replied Catnap.

Neil chuckles. “Well, come along then.” He uses the remote again, and the house security system is turned off, and they climb up the steps and towards the main doors. He sees the note on the door is gone. “Looks like my brothers did get the note, which means they kept an eye on the chickens. Chances they left earlier today and went back to their home.”

Neil opens the doors, and he claps his hands, the lights turn on, all over the place. They’re all surprised at the interior, there is a large staircase in the center of this area which leads to the second flood where a lot of bedrooms are located, especially Neil’s Gaming Office/Work Office.

To their right is the Dining room, and behind it is the kitchen, to their left if the Living Room which has the TV somewhere, and behind that one is the Family Library, which has a fireplace. They’ll check the backyard when the daytime comes, just not now.

Neil then looks to the toys, and asks them. “Well, what do you kids think?”

“I think this is really nice, big and spacious, right guys?” DogDay looks to Huggy, Kissy and Catnap, and they nod and like it here.

“ARE WE GOING TO GET SOME SLEEP?” asked Catnap.

“Yeah, it’s pretty late. 9 pm to be exact, and we need to sleep” replied Neil. “But first, you all need to get cleaned. You’re all a mess, and don’t worry, I’ll be there to help clean you guys. There’re several bathrooms upstairs that we can all use. Some haven’t been used for quite a long time, but they still work.”

“I can handle cleaning myself, and I can help clean Catnip too” replied Miss Delight.

“Mommy is capable of cleaning herself” replied Mommy Long Legs.

“I can also clean myself, and let me handle cleaning Moonshine here” replied DogDay, and this makes Catnap feel embarrassed. “Believe me, he doesn’t like water and back then myself and the others were the only ones who could make sure he gets a bath.” Catnap tries to sneak off, but DogDay grabs his tail and stops him from leaving.

They can see that Catnap looks scared, and they don’t blame him, he has a cat-like nature after all. Neil chuckles seeing this. “That leaves me to—” He sees Huggy Wuggy and Kissy Missy stop him, and they nod. “Oh, you guys can handle cleaning yourselves?”

“They can. We have all seen them do it on their own, but only when nobody else is watching” replied Mommy Long Legs. “Back then, the staff would be the ones to help clean us. But after many staff were removed from Playtime, we would have to do it ourselves. We learned to adapt, and went along with it. Don’t worry, about us. Worry about getting yourself cleaned up.”

Neil does notice, he smells awful, and his clothes are a mess. “Fair point. Also, Delight I can find some clothing upstairs from the attic. There’s gotta be something up there that can fit you.” Miss Delight nods, and they all follow Neil up the stairs, and he guides them to each room that has a bathroom they can use.

Though, Catnap once again tries to flee, DogDay grabs him and Neil helps drag the frightened Purple Cat up into the bathroom, and into the bathtub filled with water, though Catnap should resist this, he shouldn’t since Neil is the one who’s giving the commands that he needs a bath.

After finally getting Catnap into the bathtub, Neil exits the attic, and he has the pajamas for Miss Delight, something his mother wore long ago. He goes to the room, and he places the clothes onto the bed, and he can hear Miss Delight humming in the bathroom, and so he leaves them be.

Neil returns to his office instead of his bedroom, and there he places the Gundam Model Kit box, the Mommy Long Legs action figure box, and the Catnap plush in the box. He sighs, and smiles. ‘And to think, this all started because I went to a yard sale and became committed to finding this little one.’

Neil leaves his office, and he locks the door. He heads to his bedroom, where he takes off his jacket, shirt and even puts his backpack on the ground, and the strap is almost loose and should use some repairs. Neil then enters his bathroom, and he looks to himself in the mirror.

He has several bruises that are slowly healing, some cuts and bite marks which are stitched up, and also slowly healing. Neil knows he might have some internal injuries, but that was all from the shoulder and Miss Delight handled fixing up that one.

Neil sighs, and he takes some medicine from the cabinet, and then looks to himself. “Well, I guess it’s official. You are now officially a father of Seven… Six, I forgot Miss Delight is not a child, just a living breathing animatronic Toy… That’s so weird to say, and makes it sound like Five Night’s at Freddy’s.”

Neil then takes off the rest of his clothes, and he will have to wash them soon. He enters the shower, to get himself cleaned, and he has an idea how they can all get some good nights sleep, and it doesn’t have anything to do with Catnap and his Red Smoke, which is another thing they will discuss for next time.

(An hour later.)

After getting themselves cleaned, all the Toys make it down the stairs, feeling fresh and clean. Huggy Wuggy and Kissy Missy look as good as new, and their fur is no longer dusty and dirty. Catnap is also clean, and yet has some small burn marks, and even DogDay looks as fresh and clean as the day he was made, which probably doesn’t sound too good.

Mommy Long Legs stretches down, and feels happy that she’s nice and clean and her elastic plastic body shining once again, and even little Catnip is clean and looks like a brand-new toy. Miss Delight, her hair is now down and her entire body clean with no more dirty stain marks, though she hobbles a little bit, which they will fix next time. She is wearing white and red striped pajama shirt and pants, the pajamas Neil found for her, and some other clothing too, and they fit her.

They all head to the living room, and see the furniture has been moved aside, and the center is surrounded by large mattresses, they are bigger than any mattress they have seen back in Playtime Factory. There are some pillows, like really big pillows, and blankets. All the windows have been covered up by the curtains and the other lights around the place have been turned off.

They then spot Neill wearing dark blue shorts, and a white sleeveless shirt. “Hey kids, ready for bed?”

“What’s this? I thought we were sleeping in the bed rooms” asked DogDay. The others also thought the same thing.

“Well, we’ve all been through a lot to get here, and also I haven’t figured out the sleeping arrangements for everyone. So, this would seem better, for all of us to sleep together in the same place just for the night, kinda like what happened at Home Sweet Home” replied Neil.

This makes them smile, but then Mommy Long Legs recalls. “To be honest, from what we really remembered. We spent the time at Home Sweet Home sleeping together after we saved your unconscious body after your trip to the Councilors Office. Remember that?”

The other Toys chuckle and snicker. Neil sighs, and he too chuckles. “Yeah, that sounds about right.”

They all lay onto the pillows on the large mattresses. “Wow. These are so soft, softer than what we had back in the Factory” replied DogDay. “What do you think, Moonshine?”

“PERFECT SLEEPING PLACE. BETTER THAN MY BED.” Catnap yawns, and slowly closes his eyes.

Mommy Long Legs lays down and she likes how soft it is. “Where did you find these large mattresses and pillows?”

“A closet with stuff meant for when there are guests here” replied Neil, he also lays down, and to his right laying next to him is Mommy Long Legs, she wants to be close to him. He sees DogDay laying on the other side of her, with Catnap curled up close by, and with Catnap sleeping on a pillow next to them.

Onto Neil’s left he sees Miss Delight laying down next to him, and next to her are Huggy Wuggy and Kissy Missy. Miss Delight also has a sleeping mask, and they all get comfortable and close their eyes, enjoying this comfortable sleeping area. Catnap is asleep immediately.

Neil claps his hands, and the lights turn off, some moon light shines from the window ever so slightly, making some light for the room. He then sees Mommy Long Legs looking at him, her emerald eyes visible even in the dark.

“Thank you, for freeing us, and giving us a home to stay. Thank you, for being there and caring for us, father.”

Neil smiles, and he kisses her forehead. “You’re welcome, Marie. All of you, mean something to me. I’m glad I found all of you.”

This makes her smile, and she inches closer, and hugs him, like her teddy bear and soon falls asleep. Neil smiles, and he rubs her head, he slowly closes his eyes, and drifts off to sleep, alongside the toys he calls his children.

Chapter 22: New Home and New Life

Chapter Text

They have a new life now, away from the Factory and they’re horrific past and memories, and now they have to adjust and adapt to living with the man who freed them from Playtime. I hope you all enjoy reading this new one guys.
Saving Playtime.
“New Home and New Life.”

The sunlight shines onto the home of Neil Spellman, and it peaks into the windows, but this doesn’t wake up the sleeping Toys from Playtime. All of them are still fast asleep, and enjoying their comfortable sleep on the soft mattresses and pillows.

But then, DogDay sniffs the air, and so does Catnap and Catnip. They are the first to wake up, followed by Huggy Wuggy, and Kissy Missy. Miss Delight stirs, and she sits up. “What? W-What time is it? Why’s everything dark?” She then removes her facemask. “Oh, right.”

Then Mommy Long Legs wakes up, and she yawns and outstretches her limbs, and retracts them back. “Oh my, what a nice sleep. What’s the time?”

DogDay looks to the clock on the wall. “Huh, around six in the morning. We woke up—Wait. Where’s the Angel?!” They see Neil is missing, and this makes them panic, mostly Mommy Long Legs.

But Catnap breaks the silence, and stops them from panicking. “CALM YOURSELVES. I KNOW WHERE HE IS. FOLLOW ME.” They all follow Catnap as he leaves the Living Room, and they head to the Dining Room and are surprised to see a lot of food has been setup.

Then Neil comes out from the kitchen, with a large plate filled with pancakes. “Good morning kids.” He’s also changed, dressed for the day. “Breakfast is done, and I made a lot. Don’t worry, this isn’t a burden for me, just feels like a wicked awesome challenge.”

This is a total surprise for them, but the smell of the delicious food calms them down, and they all take their seats and have their own large plates, and they all get some food.

Neil has one ready for Catnip and he accepts it. Mommy Long Legs pours everyone some orange juice.

“This stuff tastes amazing, Neil. You are an amazing cook!” replied Miss Delight, and she enjoys he crispy bacon and delicious eggs.

“We haven’t eaten anything like this before” replied DogDay, he drinks his orange juice and eats some more pancakes.

THAT’S BECAUSE PLAYTIME WOULDN’T GIVE US GOOD FOOD. JUST LEFT OVERS AND SOME SCRAPS.” Catnap slurps his plate of milk, and then eats some pancakes.

“I don’t think I have ever eaten anything like this before, normally they would just give me tea and small cakes” replied Mommy Long Legs, and she eats some pancakes, and a strawberry. That one Neil didn’t know about.

Neil can see Huggy Wuggy and Kissy Missy loving their plate of bacon and eggs, and pancakes. Catnip sits on the table next to Neil, and eats his large pancake, and drinks a glass of milk.

“Glad you guys enjoy this. I learned a lot of cooking from my grandmother, and also from a friend of mine who is currently living in Texas.”

As they eat, Miss Delight notices the calendar. “Neil, why is the ten on the calendar marked?”

“Because today is August 11, why?” Neil eats his pancakes, and drinks his orange juice. But then he sees they all stopped eating, and are shocked. “What?”

DogDay speaks. “Angel, we left Playtime and came here at August 9… How long were we asleep?”

Neil then remembers. “Right, we all overslept, and didn’t wake up. Well, I did and it was already August 11. Apparently, we were too tired and exhausted, that and sleeping on a very comfortable mattress with pillows really relaxes the body, and calms the mind.”

They are all baffled, and shocked. “Don’t worry kids, we’re all fine and glad I woke up too. I didn’t think we’d be able to sleep for more than twenty-four hours, but then again… You were all trapped in Playtime for thirty years, and I went through hell and back again. That’s what I call one hell of a journey.”

They all decide not to bother with that, and just continue eating. Then Mommy Long Legs speaks to him. “You could’ve woken one of us up to help you. We don’t want you to do all the work alone, we can help.” The others also agree.

“You have done so much for us, the least we can do since we’re living here to help as well” replied DogDay.

YOU SAVED US. GAVE US A HOME. MADE US FAMILY. WE WANT TO HELP AS WELL SAVIOR” replied Catnap.

Neil still remembers, they can technically call him whatever they want, let it be Angel, Savior, Father, or just his name. “Kids, it’s alright. I was able to handle it all by myself, but when this is over we need to clean the table and handle the dishes, and another reason why I didn’t wake you guys up…”

Neil shows the photo on the phone of all them sleeping, and even a selfie of himself with a sleeping Mommy Long Legs and Miss Delight.

“You all looked so calm, and peaceful and cute when sleeping.” This makes them blush and feel embarrassed, and this makes him chuckle and feel like he’s already a good dad.

“Please, allow me to help with the dishes, everyone else can get themselves cleaned up again” replied Miss Delight. “The least I can do, after I tried to threaten to eat you at the school.”

“And glad you didn’t” replied Neil, and he looks to the others. “Thanks kids, and later I will show you guys the bedrooms you’ll all be staying, and Theo…” The large Purple Cat looks towards him. “Do not think about escaping from bath time.”

This makes Catnap silent, he has to take another bath, and he sees DogDay looking at him. “You’re not running from this Moonshine.” Catnap sighs, and he has to accept this.

(Later after breakfast and taking a bath.)

With all of them done with breakfast, and taking a bath. They all gather at the hallway upstairs, and see the doors meant for them, their own bedrooms. “Now, I woke up around four in the morning, and don’t ask but that’s a normal thing for me. I had time to setup the bedrooms which you will all be bunking in.”

“So, we’re gonna be roommates to one another?” asked Mommy Long Legs.

“Pretty much” replied Neil, and he shows them each of the rooms, and who will be roommates with who.

A door with a Pink and Blue Heart, which is going to be the shared bedroom for Huggy Wuggy and Kissy Missy, and there aren’t much in there yet, they have a bathroom which they have to share.

A door with a yellow sun, purple moon and small white moon. This will be shared by DogDay, Catnap and Catnip. Catnap has a small bed near the drawers table, and they have a bathroom which they have to share, and whether he likes it or not, Catnap has to take a bath from time to time. Also, there is a small door at the bottom of this bedroom door, for when Catnip wants to go inside or leave.

A door with a Spider Web symbol and an Apple. This is for Mommy Long Legs and Miss Delight. Two beds apart from each other, a shared bathroom and like the other rooms, there isn’t much inside to decorate.

“Now, there aren’t any other stuff to make these rooms look nice, but we will go shopping soon to give your bedrooms personality and look good. Alright kids?” They all nod. “Now, does anyone have any issues with the arrangements? Speak now, it’s alright.”

“We don’t mind, it feels right and nice” replied DogDay.

“We are used to each other, and it all started when we came together at Home Sweet Home” replied Miss Delight.

“We’ll worry about the contents within the rooms next time. Thank you for this, father” replied Mommy Long Legs.  

Neil smiles, and so he heads downstairs, and the others follow him. “Now, remember this, if I am in either my bedroom or office room, just knock but do not open them. Got it? But there will be moments when I tell you guys where I’m going to be. Got it?” They all understand.

The group head back to the Living Room, and the mattresses are all put back, and the furniture back in place, and they see two couches, and two arm chairs. But they don’t see the TV. “Now, the TV is right here.” Neil takes a remote from the nearby shelf.

He uses the remote, and the wall opens and reveals the TV. This surprises and amazes the Toys. “There is satellite connected channels, which I haven’t bothered to ever use because I would rather stick to using the internet connection with this thing. Also, there is a wireless internet connection known as Wi-Fi.”

Miss Delight is the one who is amazed hearing this. “Fascinating.”

“Alright, so there is a library in the other room, and that library has a door connected to the kitchen which is next door, and right behind the dining room. The kitchen has a sliding glass door that leads to the backyard. You kids wanna go and check it out?”

All of them are excited hearing this, and they race to the dining room, except for Miss Delight. Neil chuckles seeing this. “Don’t run inside the house kids! Unless your Catnip.” He reaches the kitchen, and opens the sliding door for them, and they all head out and are surprised to see… The back is large!

The backyard is literally huge, and vast. This is the land owned by Neil’s grandparents long ago, and there are some flower gardens close by, and not too far is the chicken coop.

There is a forest far ahead, and this makes the area feel like they’re in a wild open field. “Welcome to Spellman Estate Grounds. The forest up ahead, also owned by me, and is where I leave traps.”

This surprises them and Catnap asks. “TRAPS?”

“Wild Boar Traps. Sometimes the best Pork meat, is from the Free Ranged Wild Pigs who dare to trespass on this land. Now what are you kids waiting for? Go have fun.” The Toys all race to the field and enjoy running around, checking the flower garden, and just be kids.

Catnap does run, but stops and lays on the ground and looks to the sky, and then naps, as usual. DogDay runs around alongside Catnip, while Huggy Wuggy lays on the grassy ground with Kissy Missy. Mommy Long Legs walks around the flower gardens and she smells the flowers, and loves this place.

Neil heads to the nearby chicken coop, and inside all the chickens are just minding their own business, and so he opens the fence to let them out, and they run around and go look for something to eat. Miss Delight goes over, and asks. “Is it wise to let them out?”

“They know what they’re doing” replied Neil. “These chickens have been with me for a long time, and they don’t enter the forest, and if a wild animal does enter the area, then the perimeter alarm goes off, and I come out with a gun.”

This makes them all remain silent, and look to Neil. “What? I have to defend myself, and I didn’t bring a gun at the Factory because I thought it wasn’t needed.” Neil watches as DogDay hugs several Chickens, and Catnip is riding on the back of one, and the chickens don’t seem to mind.

Miss Delight goes to the open grassy field, and she sits down and watches the others have fun, and so Neil sits next to her, and they watch the kids having fun.

“This… This looks all so real, and not like the fake sky that Playtime has. This all feels so nice, and so comforting.” She closes her eyes, and enjoys the soothing cool wind blowing.

Neil smiles. “You’ve all been trapped down there for thirty years, a place once called home becoming a hellish prison. But now you’re all free, and now here outside, to see that things aren’t fake. This was all worth it, for all of you to be free. I have no regrets for leaving Poppy to the Prototype, well Elliot Ludwig, I just hope she can try to calm down.”

“Well, Mommy doesn’t care what happens to Poppy Playtime.” Mommy Long Legs sits with them, and she has a flower crown on her head, and she places one onto Miss Delight and Neil.

“We all love this place oh so much, so vast and large, so much space. Better than anything we have had within that dreadful factory.”

They then watch as Catnap wakes up, and he runs around chasing the chickens, alongside DogDay. While Huggy and Kissy remain laying down, looking at the real sky, and the clouds flying by, and they growl which is their way of speaking, making out the shapes of the different clouds.

Then Miss Delight asks. “Neil, we have to know… Are you still going to be an urban explorer?”

“Well, after what I’ve been through… I don’t think I’ll be coming back to that” replied Neil. “I have a new goal, a change of plans. You guys. So, I am officially retiring from the side hobby I did back then. Urban exploration is over, but not my actual job which I have been doing for a long time now.”

“And what might that job be?” asked Mommy Long Legs.

“Video Games, well online Video Gaming alongside my brothers, and my friend whose at Texas” replied Neil. “We have fun, play video games, get angry at each other, make jokes, screw up, loose our cool, act like idiots and just… Make decent content which we can post for others to watch, and that pretty much gets us all paid.”

This has them all confused. Then Mommy Long Legs asks. “What is a Video Game?”

The others also want to know, and that’s when Neil realizes, these guys don’t know what Video Games are, because they have been in the factory for so long. Though, Mommy Long Legs doesn’t know what a computer is, or how it works.

….

While everyone is eating lunch, and also enjoying some TV time, Neil is in his office, and he hasn’t even begun on the Gundam model kit which is still inside of the box. But instead, he’s going through the box of files and documents and he sees a lot of full proof evidence that could help.

‘From what I found out, Mattel bought out the Playtime Company building, and it’s now they’re building with their franchise. So, that would mean somewhere in there are the files and stuff that Playtime has kept, and obviously Mattel is unaware of this. Perhaps, if I could send this evidence to a powerful lawyer and—I think I know who to call to make this work!’

Neil grabs his cell phone, and he sees a number from a friend he knows, and he makes a call to her. “Hey Michelle, it’s me. Say, how many victories have you had ever since you started becoming one of the most powerful lawyers in the country?”

To be continued…
A/N: Seems like Neil finally has a plan, a plan to execute soon to ensure Playtime’s former Higher ups are dealt with, especially the surviving Leith Pierre, and as for the Toys, they’re loving their new home, and there is yet so much they don’t know. I hope you guys enjoyed reading this.

Chapter 23: Spending time with the kids

Chapter Text

Time for some time of fun, bonding and shopping with his kids. I hope you all enjoy reading this new one guys.
Saving Playtime.
“Spending time with the kids.”

Outside of the Spellman Estate, Neil comes out of the house alongside the Toys. They all board the towed trailer, and with Miss Delight and Catnip riding in the truck with him, but there is space for DogDay inside the truck as well.

Neil then calls out. “Are we all ready?” They all cheer and nod. Neil starts the truck, and they drive away from the house, the front gate opens and they drive out and then the gate closes and they drive into town.

They enter the town, and they Toys notice the people don’t seem bothered seeing them, some of them even wave to Neil and the large Toys, and even a police car driving by waves to Neil and he calls out. “Still weird to being normal, Spellman?”

Neil laughs. “As normal and as weird as it gets officer Rand. Also, this has nothing to do with the whole bison and African Water Buffalo incident.”

“Good to know, because that incident was wild!” replied the Police officer, and then he turns on his siren and drives off to go and help the other cops to a small robbery incident happening somewhere in town.

Neil’s Pickup truck stops at a red light, and then Mommy Long Legs stretches her head and she asks. “Father, what did the nice police man mean by, the Bison and African Water Buffalo incident?”

Neil sighs, and he doesn’t seem to have a choice. “Alright, so two years ago, the local zoo needed help with a Water Buffalo who was feeling down in the dumps, and they asked if my open field estate would be a good place for the bovine to calm down and regain himself, and he kept fleeing into the woods because of the river located there. It was not easy for me, and he also kept trying to enter the town.”

“Cops helped me bring the beast back, and it happened for the next four months, but then he calmed down, became cooperative, would listen to me even after trying to kill me with his horns, and thankfully he didn’t cause damage to the chicken coop too. Then I returned the Water Buffalo and he was ready for mating season, and back on his hooves and feeling positive again, he just needed some time out of the zoo.”

They all are surprised to hear this, then DogDay asks. “And the Bison incident?”

Neil looks nervous and he explains. “So, after I explored an abandoned hospital and explored it, and then escaped a paranormal encounter…” That one alarms them. “I was headed home, when there was a bison in the middle of the road, and she had a pink collar, a young bison which I figured out is nothing more than a family pet and her name is Abby, and I found no farms or homes close by who would own a bovine such as this.”

“So, I brought her home, and everyone saw the bison and didn’t think one would be seen by everyone in town. She stayed quiet, and calm at the backyard, and took some photos of her and posted them online if they know this pet bison. I took care of her for a week, and she was chill, but then came one night she went missing, and went into town, and I managed to find her… in the park, which made me and several officers confused… How did she enter the park when the gates were closed?”

The light turns green, and they continue to drive, while Neil continues to explain.

“Then, two days later the owners showed up and said it’s happened three times, and they call her the wandering Abby Bison. I informed them that if I do encounter her again, I would take a photo and contact them.” This surprises them all, and this is a clear sign why everyone in town find it normal when Neil has something strange with him.

(At the Mall.)

They all enter the doors, and are surprised to see a shopping mall for the very first time. “This place is huge, possibly the same size as the Game Station” replied Mommy Long Legs, and they can see all the people inside, busy with their shopping and running their business.

“I have never seen or heard of a place like this, it feels like the town has been put into a building” replied DogDay.

“SOUNDS CLOSE TO HOW PLAYCARE IS” replied Catnap, and he sniffs the air and smells food being cooked.

Huggy Wuggy and Kissy Missy see a toy store, due to their height and good vision they can see it from afar. Catnip stays close to Neil and just sits on his head. “Alright kids listen up. We’re gonna go together as a group to different locations, we have a lot to shop. Got it?”

They all agree. “And another thing, be on your best behavior and do not cause any trouble.” They all remain silent, and nod. They already know what to do, and to just be good.

The first place they head to is shopping for clothes, which they check four different stores that sell clothes. Some clothing for Miss Delight, since she’s got the more human appearance, and something to help keep Mommy Long Legs abdomen warm.

Even clothing for DogDay and Catnap, for when winter might show up, and Huggy Wuggy and Kissy Missy and Catnip get something for them to feel comfortable and feel normal, sorta. Neil manages to pay for all of this and it’s a good thing this mall is having a sale.

Then they look for some stuff that would make their bedrooms feel unique. They find some stores which sell some posters that look nice, head to book stores, and visit the toy store for something to bring home and keep themselves occupied. Neil doesn’t mind this, since they are kids.

But it is a total shocker when Miss Delight gets herself a laptop to use, she found out that it’s a computer but more portable for her to bring along anywhere, which she will have to figure out how to use. Neil also buys something, that DogDay, Miss Delight and Mommy Long Legs would want to use one day.

Catnap even asks if he can buy, a bell collar. Something to make him feel, special and different.

Then they visit the Food Court, and thank goodness they were able to take several tables and chains, to make them bigger for all of them to eat together as a family, and a whole lot of food to enjoy. But the kids do notice, Neil hasn’t bothered to go anywhere he likes, which concerns them but he doesn’t seem to mind.

(At the Local Grocery Store.)

The group enter, and the folks don’t seem bothered by this, several staff take notice and will be cautious due to the fact some of these large creatures with Neil Spellman seem big and animal-like, but then again, they all recall the Bison and Water Buffalo incident.

“Alright kids. Be on your best behavior, and we can buy something nice to bring home. There’s a lot on the grocery list to find, after all you guys are staying with me and we need to stock up on more necessities.” They all understand.

Neil grabs a cart, and so does Miss Delight and DogDay, they have the others follow along and help out, and with the assistance from Huggy Wuggy and Kissy Missy, they can reach the shelves at the top for what they cannot reach.

Neil goes along with Mommy Long Legs and Catnip sitting in the cart. Miss Delight has Kissy Missy, while Huggy Wuggy is with DogDay, but they are confused by Catnap who remains inside of the truck and just napping there. Almost like he wants to guard the vehicle.

Eventually the group finish their shopping, and got everything on the list, and with Neil’s permission they got some treats. Chocolates, some candies, sodas, though Miss Delight seemed keen on the baking powder and some recipes for her to make some apple pie and cookies.

After they check out the food, and it took a long time for that, but it would make sense and Neil got his hands on some coupons to decrease the price further, they would return back to the truck and they see police are outside, and they apprehend this man and take him away.

Catnap stands by and watches this happen, Neil heads over with the others. “Theo, what the heck happened?”

“THIS PERSON TRIED TO STEAL YOUR TRUCK. BUT I STOPPED HIM AND DIDN’T USE THE RED SMOKE.”

This surprises them all, and the other people in the parking lot clap at what Catnap did, he took down a car thief, and he could’ve stolen the other cars parked there if he wasn’t around. Neil goes over, and rubs Catnap’s head. “Good job kiddo, you did an awesome job. Proud of ya, Theo.”

The others are also proud of Catnap for what he did, and deep-down Catnap feels like he has a shot to make things right, and remove the sins from his mind, and try to do some more good, and help out.

They load all the groceries into the back of the truck. “I guess when we get back home, you wanna make something from the oven, right?”

Miss Delight giggles. “Oh, you noticed? Well, good to know. I was thinking of baking some cookies, or apple pies. I like apple pies.”

“I kinda figured.” Neil goes into the Driver’s seat and he starts the truck. “Alright kids, we’re headed to the Park for some Fun and Calm times.” They all cheer, and like this idea, and they drive off. Neil then notices, Catnip yawning, and so Miss Delight picks him up and lets him rest on her lap as she rubs his back.

Neil then recalls another thing. ‘I haven’t contacted my brothers yet, that or they might be busy.’

(Somewhere at the Park, within the town of Thebes.)

The Playtime Toys are now enjoying their fun time here in the Park.

We have DogDay and Catnap by the swings, Mommy Long Legs going through the playhouse and monkey bars, but Huggy Wuggy and Kissy Missy remain laying on the grassy ground again, looking at the sky and watching the clouds fly on by.

Neil sits on the bench, and he sees Miss Delight under the shade of a tree, reading a book and with Catnip still snoozing on her lap. ‘They’re all having their own sense of fun. I should be joining them, but dang am I tired.’ Neil closes his eyes, but then his phone rings, and he checks whose messaging him.

Neil, the evidence you sent me is full proof and enough to make a case happen. I’m also contacting Mattel and they double checked the building which was once the Playtime higher ups headquarters, and they found several unchecked and hidden files within a hidden room. They’re going to help the case, and put an end to the man who tired to ruin their companies back then.

Neil messages back. “What do you mean Michelle?”

Years ago, somewhere after the Hour of Joy, the man named Leith Pierre attempted to sue both Mattel and Hasbro for copyrighting their toys, but they didn’t even copy anything and Playtime got blamed for fraud and attempting to mess with two major giant toy companies. Even to this day, the name Leith Pierre is an enemy to both companies.

The original founders of Mattel and Hasbro did respect the true founder of Playtime, and have speculated that the one who tried to frame Elliot Ludwig with the death of a child leads to Leith Pierre himself which then really makes sense why he became the one in charge after the death of Elliot Ludwig. The hidden documents and files will help uncover the truth, and we’re going to prepare the case and ensure Leith Pierre and his former associates are locked up for a long, long time.

Neil sighs, and he smiles and replies back. “Keep me updated on anything else, Michelle.”

Will do, and take care of those kids, I’ll see to it that they remain in your custody. Also, you should know, there is this recording from your camera of you going down a hallway and encountering this radio and that nightmarish version of Huggy Wuggy. What the heck was even going on down there?

Neil remains silent, and is surprised. ‘Wait, what the fuck?! But, that was all supposed to be a nightmare!’ Neil then puts his phone away, he gets up and heads to where Miss Delight is and he sits next to her.

The former Teacher from Playtime looks to him. “Something the matter?”

Neil then sees the other kids go towards him, and he hugs them all. They depart from the hug, and he recalls that Miss Delight sometimes tends to hobble even after she got her face replaced and fixed. “Kids, my brothers will be coming tomorrow, and when they do, you guys will need a medical checkup, alright?”

All of them remain silent, and surprised. “Guys, it’s necessary. I care about you all, and I wanna make sure you guys are healthy and fine. My brother, Leon is a Doctor, well surgeon and he knows what he’s doing, while my older brother Sergei is a former construction worker, and currently a mechanic. You kids can trust them.”

They all seem unsure at first, but then DogDay speaks. “We’re all fine with it, and we look forward to seeing your brothers, and possibly getting to know them. Do they know about what happened to you?”

Neil chuckles, and he sighs. “I intend to tell them, tonight.”

To be continued…
A/N: They all had a fun outing, and come next chapter is the arrival of Leon and Sergei, the brothers of Neil Spellman, and just like him, they too are adopted into the family long ago. I hope you guys enjoyed reading this.

Chapter 24: The Spellman Brothers

Chapter Text

Time for a checkup, in the hands of Neil’s two brothers. To ensure the kids are fine, healthy, but mostly Neil since he took a beating when he went into that factory of horrors and nightmarish terrors. I hope you all enjoy reading this new one guys.
Saving Playtime.
“The Spellman Brothers.”

A red Pickup truck is headed for the Estate, the gate opens and the vehicle comes inside, and stops at the front of the building. Catnap is on the roof, and he leaps down and lands in front of the truck startling the two inside, and they both come out.

They are Leon Spellman and Sergei Spellman. Leon is German and is 27 years old, Sergei is Russian and 31 years old, both are adopted into the Spellman family long ago when they were little kids, Neil is 29, and also adopted. They are the last of the Spellman’s since they’re parents, little sister, and grandparents are gone.

The two brothers look to Catnap and Sergei waves to him, and so Catnap walks towards the door. “He did tell us that these kids were something else” replied Sergei.

“And he told us that it had something to do with Playtime” replied Leon, and they both walk up the stairs. “I hope the evidence he had will help with the case, and put an end to the many years of suffering and lies.”

The two brothers are about to knock, but Catnap opens the door for them. “PLEASE COME INSIDE.” Catnap goes inside first, and so Leon and Sergei follow, and are surprised by the voice of this large Purple Cat Thing.

The two brothers head to the Living Room. “Alright let’s see the—Sweet mother of the Empire.” They both see the other Toys Neil talked about, they don’t seem surprised about Miss Delight, but the others are something else, and they see Catnip sitting on Kissy Missy’s head.

“Wow. You weren’t kidding, they are living toys, and formerly kids” replied Sergei, and he waves to them. Only Huggy and Kissy wave back to them. Mommy Long Legs seem cautious, and then Huggy hugs them both, and this is a surprise.

Leon pats his back. “Thanks, big blue fella.” They depart from the hug, and Leon goes towards Neil. “Alright, so who’s getting a checkup first from me?”

 Neil explains to them. “Alright, so know this, they are Organic and Inorganic in nature. They all have components which is what many toys have. Huggy and Kissy are furry, but they have flesh and blood within them and internal organs.”

“DogDay, Catnap and Catnip are sorta the same as Huggy and Kissy, but more skeletal in structure, and have some unique capabilities from which what I have seen. Catnap and Catnip can use Red Smoke which is dangerous, and DogDay can run fast. Like, cheetah speed. Also, Catnap’s real name is Theo, but he seems more comfortable if I call him that.”

“Now, Mommy Long Legs real name is Marie, and only I can call her that, because she only wants me saying her real name. She is made out of something we have never ever even heard of, called Elastic Plastic, and thus giving her stretchy abilities on her arms, hands, fingers, legs, waist, and hair. All of her vital organs are located at the abdomen, not the thorax.”

“Now, it’s Miss Delight who needs the attention first. She has been hobbling for a while, and at times it gets stiff on her leg and sometimes her arm joins. She’s plastic and flesh, but I am unsure if there are more within her body—”

“Steel Joints and Bones” replied Miss Delight. “I have flesh inside of me, Neil has seen that when we met, and he was scared and kept describing how my appearance looked.” Neil remains silent, and he remembers. “My knees, elbows and heels are the issue. The joins are stiff, and it’s because I haven’t had a checkup from a technician for a long time.”

Leon goes over, and he checks her legs, and she doesn’t mind. He touches the plastic, and he tries to feel for something, Sergei checks her right elbow, and also feels for something. Leon then asks. “Anyone else besides Miss Delight and you?”

Neil understands why he is mentioned. “Theo’s burn marks are healed up. DogDay has a new bottom half, Huggy and Kissy’s cuts are healed, and then we have Marie. Her hand got damaged, from the grinder, but we got her hand healed up using the Red Gel from the labs where she was made.”

“We didn’t find any Red Gel when we were in the Playcare Hospital” replied DogDay.

Catnap sits on the other arm chair. “THAT’S BECAUSE THE RED GEL IS KEPT IN ANY PLACE THAT IS A LAB AND IS RESPONSIBLE FOR FAST HEALING AND CREATION TO TURN CHILDREN INTO TOYS.”

Now this does make sense. Then Sergei asks. “Is his voice box broken or something?” Hearing this upsets Catnap.

Neil calms him down, and then replies. “Apparently no. This is what he sounds like, and from a file I read, the staff from Playtime thought his voice box was broken, but it’s really not. For some reason, it’s naturally part of him.”

Sergei nods, and then he asks Leon. “So, what do you think Doc?”

Leon stands up, and sighs. “We need to take you to the hospital to perform an X-Ray on whatever damage might be happening within. Chances, you’re gonna need surgery.”

This shocks the others, and Miss Delight is stunned. “W-Wait, what?”

Leon then looks towards Neil. “That goes the same for you too. We don’t know if you might have some internal injuries.”

(At the Thebes Hospital.)

Miss Delight is wearing a hospital gown and sitting on a bed, and she’s accompanied by the others. Leon then walks inside, they finished her x-ray earlier. “So, what’s the situation doc?” asked Neil.

Leon then has the results. “So, she has internal joints within her elbows, knees, and ankles, they aren’t bone structure but metal, the rest is all skeleton. We need to try and operate, and replace those metallic joints with something less dangerous and more efficient that won’t get stiff or need daily maintenance. Prosthetic Joint connections, courtesy from FutureTech’s medical advancement technology.”

Neil is surprised to hear this, and that FutureTech medical prosthetics will be involved, but Miss Delight seems kinda nervous, and she holds the hand of Neil. “Will you be there when they do this to me?”

Neil holds her hand, and he looks to Leon. Leon nods. “Not the first time you had to help and watch me perform surgery. You can come along.”

Neil smiles and nods. He looks to the others. “Kids wait outside the surgery room, while we tend to Delight. Sergei will keep you guys company, alright?” The others are concerned, but they nod, then Kissy Missy steps up and raises her hand.

Miss Delight knows what she means. “Doctor Leon, can Kissy Missy come along as well? She did after all help me when we had to stitch up Neil after his mysterious appearing and disappearing injuries.”

Leon is confused, and he looks to Kissy Missy and she smiles. “Normally I would have other doctors, and nurses come along, but I guess I’ll let this one slide. Alright then, let’s get you prepped up for surgery Miss Delight.” Then he looks to Kissy. “And let’s get you a nurse’s attire.”

They all leave the room, and help get Miss Delight ready for her joint’s surgery, which is a first time for Leon to perform, and he contacts the doctors and nurses he knows and trusts.

(Later.)

Outside of the room, Sergei is playing Jenga with the Toys, and they have never ever played a game like this before. They made one big tower, and the good news is the halls are empty. Sergei slowly removes a block, and the tower doesn’t fall.

The others sigh in relief, but then Mommy Long Legs pulls a wooden block, and it doesn’t fall. “This is so much fun. We have never heard of this game before.” Catnap remains on the chair, asleep alongside Catnip.

“I play it at times with the others, and sometimes we play some board games, mostly online video games” replied Sergei, and he means Mario Party.

“We have never heard of played Video Games before, we have yet to see it” replied DogDay, and he manages to pull one of the wooden blocks, and it doesn’t fall. The tower is still standing. “This tower is one tough thing to fall.”

Just then, the doors open and Leon comes out with some blood on him, “Good News. The surgery is done, and her new joints have been installed, and we stitched up, well placed back her plastic leg parts. That was super weird to say.”

They are all happy, Huggy Wuggy pulls a wooden block, and the tower falls, and he sighs. The others yell out. “Jenga!”

“What’s Jenga?” They are all surprised to see, Miss Delight is awake, and on her feet, and walking normally. “Hello everyone, I’m feeling fine now.”

This surprises them, well not the Toys. But Leon is shocked. “What the hell?! Why are you standing and walking now?! You should be getting rest!”

Miss Delight giggles. “I’m a walking, breathing living Toy, Doctor. Remember?” Leon realizes this, which means she can recover from surgery and go back to walking as if she were a robot who can manage one maintenance and then get back to work.

The other toys also chuckle, and the other doctors and nurses are baffled by this. Sergei smirks. “This is some getting used to, and glad you’re back on your feet again.”

“My legs feel fine and are no longer stiff, no more hobbling for me” replied Miss Delight and she walks around in a circle. “This is amazing, these prosthetic joints will be helpful and won’t be an issue.”

Leon then calms down. “Alright, Neil you’re next. We need to know what internal damage you have.” Neil sighs, and he heads to one of the rooms, with the others following. Miss Delight does return to the room she came from, to get her clothes back on.

They watch as Neil takes his jacket, and shirt off showing his scars and stitches from after what had happened at Playcare Emergency Hospital and Spare Parts. Leon checks all of the stitching, and he is impressed.

“These are impressive looking stitching techniques. This seems like the same kind of strategy I would use, heck even back as a Combat Medic I made these same kind of stitching and patched up a lot of troops. Who did this?”

“MISS DELIGHT.”

Sergei smirks. “She is impressive. I mean, we recall Neil said she was a teacher for the human anatomy, while the other teachers had their own lesson teachings, before they all get cannibalized, right?” They all remain silent.

Leon then has Neil wear a hospital gown, while the Toys wait outside with Sergei, and wait for Neil to finish his X-Ray.

Miss Delight is now with the others, hew attire back on, and they’re talking to Sergei about Video Games, and he explains so much about the different genre of video games, and how he plays with his friends, and that Neil’s favorite video games are called Real-Time-Strategy, also known as RTS.

This is something Mommy Long Legs is confused by, and she feels like she should see how these video games work, but she can’t enter the office of Neil, since it’s one of the main rules, they would have to knock and at times he might not hear it because he’s at work.

They even explain to Sergei that Neil is retired from being an Urban Exploring after what had happened at Playtime Co. Sergei understands this, and he feels like something else might still be there, besides the Prototype and everything else that is hidden and dangerous deep below.

Then Neil comes out along with Leon. “So, what’s wrong with Angel?”

Leon is confused why he called him that. “No internal injuries, and no damages to his bones. He’s sturdy and strong as he was after we were in service in Afghanistan. Also, Miss Delight you’re stitching on his injuries is fantastic and incredible. I mean, that is some impressive medical treatment for him.”

Miss Delight chuckles. “Thank you. I did learn something for when the kids would get hurt. But, Kissy Missy did also help me with that when Neil was unconscious on the bed after all the pain he went through.”

Leon and Sergei are aware of that one, and they are impressed and surprised that Neil survived all of that, then Sergei remembers something. “Not the first time Neil would race through danger. When we were pinned down, this maniac ran through gun fire, and flanked the position to take out the enemy. He could’ve been in trouble, if he didn’t save the entire team.”

“Sarge was impressed, and called him the maniac of the team, he even ran into a building, right past the enemy and made it to the roof just to take out the sniper, and he stayed on the roof and kept gunning down everyone who would come up onto the roof. Even using the weapons belonging to the enemy. He was an all-out beast and machine.”

This surprises everyone. Mommy Long Legs pulls Neil close, she doesn’t want him to go through that again, and this surprises him. The others then go over and hug him, and so he hugs them back. They’re glad he’s fine and didn’t know their Estranged Angel/Savior is a soldier who fights like a beast.

Miss Delight then motions Leon to speak alone, and even Sergei follows. “I could use some changes, onto my face.”

Both brothers’ are shocked. “What?”

Miss Delight nods. “Each and every one of them, they all have their skills and capabilities. All I have is Barb, I was a total beast when I had my face scarred and disfigured. I know that beneath this modified face, is a way for me to help keep the others safe, using fear and ambush. I still have barb back in my room.”

Leon and Sergei take a look to her face, and even see the buttons on the side responsible for opening the face plate. Sergei thinks about this. “Well, I think I could reverse engineer the faceplate, and make something new. Something that can be easily opened by you, to reveal what you look like beneath.”

“How scary are you beneath the face plate?” asked Leon.

Miss Delight giggles, and she uses her hands to find the buttons, and she manages to remove her face plate, and both brothers are shocked to see her face underneath, the same thing that Neil saw when he encountered her, and they both scream in horror.

The others come into the room and see this, Leon faints, and Sergei speaks. “By the name of General Winter. You look like you got ran over by a herd of Bison, then rammed hard by a Satan’s Camaro, and then landed face first onto a hot concrete surface and—”

“I GET IT!” yelled Miss Delight, and she puts her face back on. “This is why I need modifications, to ensure everyone is safe, I never even used Barb when I faced Neil or showed how truly scary I can be.”

Neil is shocked, and so are the others. Then Neil shakes it off. “I think it’s a good idea. Also, what does your jumpscare look like—” Miss Delight grabs Neil and she opens her face and screams at his face, and this makes Neil scream and she lets go of him and puts her face back on.

The other Toys are horrified, and shocked by that. “Well?”

Neil calms down. “That was awesome and scary! Guys, do it—Leon wake up. Make her those modifications, that was fantastic and terrifying—” Then he faints. Sergei chuckles seeing this and they all check on him. They all agree one thing; Miss Delight is by far scarier than the others.

To be continued…
A/N: They met the brothers, and they can trust them with medical and other necessary repairs. Miss Delight, she’ll get her modifications, to show her true tactics and how she can help protect the others. I hope you guys enjoyed reading this.

Chapter 25: Some new Things to Learn

Chapter Text

Medical checkup done, and now time for the Toys to learn a few new things, and other stuff, especially what powers the mansion they live in. I hope you all enjoy reading this new one guys.
Saving Playtime.
“Some new Things to Learn.”

At the front yard, Kissy Missy is watching as the sprinklers are just watering the grass and hedges, and DogDay is running around and playing with the water spraying everywhere, with Catnap and Catnip on the roof and watching this happen.

At the backyard, Huggy is looking at the stone charcoal oven near the back of the house, and is completely confused by this thing. He also doesn’t see one of those classic backyard grills.

Inside, at the Living Room, Neil present something for Miss Delight and Mommy Long Legs. Cell Phones, and he teaches them on how they work. “So, you have your own cell phone numbers, and my number is also in both your phones so you can call or text message me.”

At first it was kinda hard for them, but they eventually figured it out and it’s now easy for them, mostly it’s easy for Miss Delight. “This is fantastic and nice. But, why give these to us?”

Neil sighs, and he looks out the window at the front yard. They can see DogDay playing with the sprinklers. “DogDay might not be fully trusted with tech like this. Huggy and Kissy don’t have fingers, Catnap wouldn’t bother, and Catnip is small and wouldn’t know where to keep it.”

“So, I trust you two because, Miss Delight you can easily keep the device safe, and Marie, you recently bought this nice hand carry bag, and also a satchel bag, and you still have it.” Mommy Long Legs notices her satchel bag. “that means you have someplace to carry it around.”

Mommy Long Legs now understands. “That makes sense, at least I have something to call you when something happens.”

“Same, and also I need help with another thing.” Miss Delight stands up, and she heads back upstairs.

Leaving Neil and Mommy Long Legs in the Living Room, confused by what she needs help with, and soon enough Miss Delight returns, and she brings with her the laptop she bought last time. “I need help with this. I know it has instructions on how this can work, but I need some actual information and help from someone who knows this better. You do have one, right?”

“Yeah, I do. I have my own laptop, and I barely use it” replied Neil. “I mostly use my multi-desktop computer system from my office to do most of my work with my brothers and friends. So, I can help you.”

They sit on the couch and Neil helps them out with how to use Miss Delights laptop and connecting to the Wi-Fi and also how to use the apps, and that she can use the printer in his office, but she has to ask first.

But then Neil remembers another thing. ‘We bought a lot of stuff from the mall, and I didn’t help them decorate their rooms, chances they did that themselves without me helping them. This is a good sign, they know how to handle some stuff without me to aid them. But this timeline has stuff they have yet to truly understand, and I still have to be there, and help them out.’

(Later, outside.)

Neil has setup the ping pong table from the garage, and he’s playing with Huggy Wuggy and Kissy Missy. “Alright, so I’m going to try and beat you guys at this game. Ya ready?”

Huggy and Kissy nod, and so Neil serves, he tosses the ball into the air, and he strikes it and it heads for Huggy, but he just does one gentle swing, and the ball dashes right past Neil, he didn’t even see it coming.

Neil remains shocked. He then turns around and sees the ball is gone, nowhere to be found. Neil looks back and sees Huggy and Kissy clapping. “Wow. Well, that’s the game. I don’t think I can be able to—”

“Then allow Mommy to compete against them.” Mommy Long Legs takes Neil and places him next to Catnap, and she grabs two paddles, and this makes Huggy and Kissy growl, and so she serves, and they hit the ball, but she manages to see the ball coming and counters.

Neil, Catnap and Catnip watch as Huggy Wuggy and Kissy Missy and giving it their all, to beat Mommy Long Legs in a game of Ping Pong, and it’s moving fast, so fast Neil can’t see the ball anymore.

“Can you see the ball Theo?”

“YES.”

They just keep on watching, as the game still continues, and this could be a long, long time for this game to end. This is taking too long, that Neil just sits on the ground and watches this happen, trying to keep track of how many times the ball has been sent to the other.

Far from them, are DogDay and Miss Delight, both laying on the grassy ground and watching the sky. “To be honest, I don’t think I’m good for carrying this cell phone” replied DogDay. “Doesn’t sound like something for me. This new timeline and new stuff, is just something else.”

“Yeah, but we gotta adapt and learn how to handle a lot of stuff” replied Miss Delight. “It took me a total hour to figure out how a cell phone can work, and two and a half hour to figuring out my laptop. Also, I can use the printer in Neil’s office, but I have to knock and ask him, and the reason why.”

They continue to watch the clouds go by, and then DogDay speaks. “I wish the others were here. They would’ve loved to be free, and play out here, mostly Kickin and Hoppy. I miss them.”

“I know, DogDay” replied Miss Delight. “We don’t even know if they’re alive, or somewhere else. I know that Bobby, was the hardest of the Bigger Body Smiling Critters, because of these weird issues those idiot staff couldn’t figure out fixing. I don’t think Neil knows about Safe Haven.”

DogDay sighs. “I don’t think it’s a wise idea to tell Angel about Safe Haven, we aren’t equipped or prepared for that journey yet. I mean, if we ever go there, we would have the Proto—Elliot Ludwig to perhaps help us, I don’t even know if he can be able to free the kids in Safe Haven and let them free.”

“Something might be keeping him from getting to Safe Haven, and I have a bad feeling of who or what it might be.”

“You mean the Doctor, but we don’t know if he is still alive. He hasn’t been heard for a long time after his several failures and scolding from Leith Pierre” replied Miss Delight. “Best we don’t mention this to him, unless something else comes around.”

DogDay nods, and they both remain laying down watching the clouds fly by.

But they aren’t aware, Neil heard everything, and he thinks about this.

(Back inside.)

All the toys, are in the Living Room, and watching as Neil is using the Console, and he’s playing some Mario Kart. They all cheer and watch as he uses Shy Guy and races across Rainbow Road, and he grabs some items, and throws the green shells.

They are all surprised that this is a Video Game about racing, and then they see Neil has made it to second place. “Dang, so close. I sometimes do get to first place, but second place is fine. Alright, DogDay your next, go on ahead.”

DogDay seems excited, and he chooses his character, and the place to race. The others all cheer, and try to help out DogDay and he’s starting to get the hand of it.

Neil then gets a text message, and he reads it, it’s from Sergei.

[I managed to reverse engineer the Grabpacks you gave me. I have to say they are quite innovative and handy, no pun intended and they could be used by so many old folks who need to reach for things and not need anyone to help them out. I think I can make these better.]

This makes Neil smile and he thinks about this. ‘If we are to one day return to Playtime, then we might need more than two Grabpacks.’ He sends back a text message, for Sergei to try and make another one, or more.

He then sees, DogDay made it to first place, and then he gives the controller to Huggy Wuggy, and they all cheer at how he will try and win this next race. Neil chuckles, and he also cheers with them, and they continue to just play some video games with Neil.

(The following day.)

Neil is in his office, and he checks a box of old clothes he never wears, but then he hears a knock on the door. “Who is it?”

“Delight, I need to print something I typed. Can I use the printer?”

Neil goes to open the door. “Come on in, but don’t touch the other stuff except the printer.”

“Very well.” Miss Delight sees the printer, and she manages to plug in the laptop and print out some papers. She does look around the room, and she sees how it looks.

She sees the Computer Setup, three desktops, and two CPU’s below, and two keyboards connected. This confuses her, but she knows this is what Neil does, he explained he plays video games with others, and posts them online, which is pretty much his job. She can see these two framed buttons on the wall, and a gold one.

Neil has a YouTube Play button plaque, and a Gold one, he’s done a lot and gained many subscribers to earn those.

There is a desk and chair, but it doesn’t seem like something for paper work, and has tools, and she sees the box from the Gundam Neil made, and she sees it’s on the shelf. Miss Delight is baffled by the shelves filled with so many Action Figures and completed Model Kits.

Neil then grabs some shirts he can give the other kids, and he notices Miss Delight looking at the shelves. “Yup, this is my collection of a lot of franchise stuff which I tend to review on video and post them. I do a lot of stuff on YouTube and people watch them.”

“These all look like different franchises” replied Miss Delight, she can see the Franchises on here are something she doesn’t know about. Gundam, Pokémon, Transformers, One Piece Ship Models, Tanks, Aircraft, Godzilla, Pacific Rim, and even a single Hatsune Miku Figurine.

Then Miss Delight finally sees the other shelf, and it has the stuff he bought from the yard sale, the stuff from Playtime. The Plush Smiling Critters, the Mommy Long Legs Action figure still in the box, PJ -Pug-a-Pillar, Huggy Wuggy and Kissy Missy.

There are others, Pianosaurus, Yarnaby, and she is confused seeing an action figure of herself. “Wait, wait. When did I get a toy?” She checks it out, and Neil allows her to pick it up and see it. “I mean… We didn’t even, but… What the heck?”

Neil then remembers something. “Well, the box had a Reject tag on it.” This makes Miss Delight shocked, and she slowly looks to Neil with a shocked expression. “Yeah, the guy who owned this stuff is a former worker at Playtime, and I believe he was supposed to receive the letter, and never got it.”

“So, the Miss Delight toys never saw the light or was even given to kids, and I think it’s because it said, collect all 13 to make your own home school playtime.”

Miss Delight puts the Action Figure down, and she goes back to the finished printing, and she turns off the Printer, and she takes her laptop, and the papers and she leaves the room, but then she goes back. “We don’t speak of this to the others, and to be honest… A toy of myself and my sisters, is super weird.”

Miss Delight takes her leave, and Neil understands what she means. Neil then heads out of the office, to give the shirts to the others, if they’ll like them.

(Later in the afternoon.)

The kids are inside the Living Room, and watching some TV. The one to keep an eye on them is Mommy Long Legs, but then she sees Miss Delight show up with a platter of cookies she baked, and they all enjoy what she baked, and then she watches with them.

But then Mommy Long Legs looks around, and doesn’t see Neil anywhere. So, she leaves the mansion and she looks around and she spots him. “There you are.” Mommy Long Legs climbs onto the roof, and she heads to the garage and sees Neil is on the garage roof.

Neil is busy rewiring something, Solar Panels. “What are you doing, father?”

“Fixing one of the damaged Solar Panels.” Neil then fixes one of the wires, and he gets to the next. He replaces it with a new wire, he has a tool box strapped to him and keeps it from falling, and even he is tied to the roof.

“Gotta make sure this is fixed up. The mansion is powered in the daytime by the local electric grid, but when night time comes along, the place is powered by the generators. This is the innovation from FutureTech installation systems, but I can handle repairs and other stuff needed, nothing but easy.”

Mommy Long Legs is surprised by this. “Oh my, I didn’t know there were generators in the mansion. That would explain why you’re good with that kind of stuff back at the Factory, right?”

“Actually, the ones in the Factory are old school and hard to handle kind of tech for some reason, but the ones of this timeline are easy and manageable. I know how to adjust, and repair.” Neil then finishes. “But, when there is no sunlight, a wind vain is triggered from the shed nearby. Pretty much extra electricity. Mostly used, when winter comes around.”

Neil finishes up, and he gets down from the roof alongside Mommy Long Legs. “Also, I need to know, are you alright when winter comes around?”

“I have never seen winter time, or even seen snow” replied Mommy Long Legs, and she helps Neil bring the tool box back into the garage. “But, I think the winter will slow me down a little bit. But I can try and stay warm and it will prevent me from getting hurt.”

Neil nods. “Glad to know, the others are capable of handling when winter comes around, we know the others are furry, and Delight can wear winter clothing. Glad we got some nice warm clothing for you, Marie.” They both head back into the house.

Then Mommy Long Legs asks. “So, what’s for dinner tonight. Mommy can help.”

“I have grounded beef, and with some cooking and baking, I am going to make Beef Wellington” replied Neil. They go to the Living Room and join the others.

(Time skip, night time.)

Dinner time is done, all the Toys are getting cleaned, and the dishes are also done. Neil is back in his bedroom, and he checks his cell phone, and he gets a call from someone, the lawyer who is helping him.

“Michelle, what’s happened?”

“We’re getting the upper hand, Neil. Mattel was told, and they checked the building formerly owned by Playtime, and they found it. The documents, and other files that confirm of the crimes of Playtime’s former CEO Leith Pierre. Everything they did, is all in the files and documents, and will shut him and his other former associates down for good!”

Neil sits on his chair, and he sighs. “Thank god. Notify me if anything else happens. We cannot let Leith Pierre continue live whatever the hell he’s doing, and make sure he’s locked up for good. Payback for all he has done, and I don’t even know what happened to the others part of the whole Bigger Bodies initiative.”

“Same here. We don’t know the whereabouts of his cohorts Stella Greyber, Harley Sawyer, and Eddie Ritterman. But we’ll try to dig deep and find out more. I’ll keep you posted, stay safe and be there for those kids. You’re becoming a great father, Leon and Sergei told me.”

Neil chuckles hearing this, he kinda figured his brothers would call Michelle and tell her about what’s been going on. Neil then gets ready for bed, but he’s unaware that Mommy Long Legs and DogDay heard him at the other side of the door.

They can now see, that they’re adopted father is trying to ensure justice is done, justice for those who have made the children into the toys that they are now. They hope that soon, they will tell him about Safe Haven.

To be continued…
A/N: They’re all just enjoying things, having fun and learning about some stuff, and it seems the case against the former higherups from Playtime are going to be in deep trouble. I hope you guys enjoyed reading this.

Chapter 26: Verdict and the other place

Chapter Text

A call, a verdict, and justice, but so much more, which will lead to a plan to make a comeback to the place where they have suffered, and escaped from. I hope you all enjoy reading this new one guys.
Saving Playtime.
“Verdict and the other place.”

Another good day, and Huggy and Kissy are liking the new shirts they have been given, their new shirts which came from Neil and they are Pokémon themed.

The shirt for Huggy Wuggy is Light blue shirt with a Blastoise. Kissy’s shirt is pink with a Luvdisc on it.

“Look at that, you guys look nice. Love the shirts, and these belonged to me back then, it was when I visit Japan and bought a lot of Pokémon stuff.” He sees the silent expression they’re giving him. “Right, you guys don’t know the franchise. Well, it’s awesome.”

They then see Catnap come into the house, and he hands Neil a package. “THIS WAS FOR YOU. THE MAN HANDED IT TO ME AND SAID YOUR NAME.”

“Thanks Theo, this must be the Perfect Grade RX-78-2 Gundam Unleashed. Nice, this will also take me a long time to make.” Neil then brings the box upstairs. The others then gather to talk to each other, about what the others have heard last night.

“So, Angel is getting help to make sure the surviving Higher Ups from Playtime are locked away for good. This is revenge, and justice. They aren’t running Playtime because it was bought by this Company called Mattel” replied DogDay.

“I know that name” replied Miss Delight. “One time, my sisters and I overheard the staff talking about a lawsuit that Playtime lost from two toy companies who are known as Toy Company giants, called Hasbro and Mattel. Leith Pierre thought he could pull a move and shut them down, but he made the mistake and it backfired.”

“REVENGE AND JUSTICE. SHAME WE CANNOT PERSONALLY KILL THEM.”

Miss Delight is also happy to hear that. “That would be so nice. I still have Barb. Do we even know where Leith Pierre now lives?” This makes Huggy and Kissy anxious to do the same, even Catnip snickers.

“Out of the question guys, and calm down” replied DogDay. “The last thing we need, is to get into some trouble. We have to trust Angel, he knows what to do, and with this Michelle person getting help to ensure Leith Pierre doesn’t ever come back or ever set free.”

“HIS OWN PRISON. SOUNDS FITTING.”

Then Mommy Long Legs head stretches towards them. “Everyone, come on!” They all follow her, and reach the office of Neil, and they hear him talking to someone.

“So, it’s all over? Leith Pierre is done for, and his former associates?!”

“Yes! We did it, we won the case! Hasbro and Mattel aided with it, and it’s all over. We contacted the FBI, and they managed to track down Leith Pierre and several of his former associates from the Higher ups. They tried to speak reason and make an excuse, but the proof, the footage, everything was enough to send them locked away for good!”

“So, what’s the sentence for them?”

“The others are sentenced into prison time for more than thirty years, and chances they won’t live that long, as for Leith Pierre… His involvement with everything is putting him into more than fifty years into prison with no chances of escape. Lawsuit is also done, and more than five million dollars from the guilty have been removed, and split to go to Hasbro, Mattel and you and the kids.”

“What matters is that Leith Pierre and his associates are locked away and will never ever find a way to get out. A shame I can’t have the kids go in his cell, and torment him, give him pain and suffering for what he has done with the others.”

“There’s one more thing. The FBI believe, that there could be even more evidence within Playtime, evidence that can help put Leith Pierre into a life sentence and to be sent to a Federal Prison. They’re asking, if you can go back and find them. You have had more experience, and you can handle situations and have been through a lot. But if you don’t want to, then we understand.”

“Give me some time to think about this, alright? For now, I will discuss this with the kids.”

They all back away from the door, and are surprised. Leith Pierre is now locked away, never to escape from prison and never to ever harm anyone or spread lies of the crimes he committed. Catnap’s eyes are wide, and he really wants to sink his claws into Leith Pierre’s skin and make him suffer.

The door opens, and Neil sees them all gathered. “We didn’t mean to. We’re sorry, for listening in” replied Mommy Long Legs, but then Neil hugs her. So, she hugs him back, and the others also come closer and embrace them.

They all depart from the hug. “Kids, tell me. What else is below, from Playcare?”

They all gather in the Living Room, and Neil has a recorder, which is something he intends to keep and send to Michelle.

“After the Hour of Joy. The Prototype send his Toy followers to face against the Good Toys, and it turned into a conflict deep within the labs area, and the prison” replied DogDay. “I was also there, and same with Catnap and the other Bigger Body Smiling Critters.”

“I was never part of that, I was in the school after all” replied Miss Delight.

“Neither was I, but I was told about the prisons and the labs below, which is where the others have been made” replied Mommy Long Legs. “Delight, and the others of Playcare are made from those labs, but the Doctor. We believe, the Doctor is alive somewhere, which might not even be possible.”

“THE DOCTOR LIVES.”

Neil is confused, and he asks Catnap. “How?” The others also want to know, they haven’t been told of what had happened to the Doctor, Harley Sawyer.

“THE DOCTOR HAS BEEN PUT INTO A COMPUTER. HE IS JUST A SYSTEM OF SECURITY WITHIN THE LABS WITH NO HOST OR BODY. THAT WAS ALL I KNEW AFTER THE TOYS WAR BELOW. I TOOK PART IN THE WAR AND WOULD USE THE RED SMOKE AS MY WEAPON.”

Neil is shocked to find out, that there was a World War conflict within the underground level. “Tell me, are there other toys down there? The Good toys?”

“Yes” replied DogDay. “It’s called, Safe Haven. It was meant as a way for the staff to seek refuge but they never made it, so instead it is a place for those who survived the war. They are the Good Toys and the place is called, Safe Haven. Myself, and Kissy are among the Good Toys who got caught into the mix of being outside. Poppy also one of them, and one named Doey the Doughman.”

Neil is shocked. “Doey is also real?! But how?! He’s playdough!”

“It’s complicated” replied Mommy Long Legs. “I have heard and seen him, but he was very unstable when I first found him, and chose to not bother him. I don’t know if he’s even alive or down there, we all don’t know if they’re alive and down there.”

This makes Neil suspicious and think about it. “ARE YOU GOING BACK DOWN THERE?”

Neil sees the toys all looking at him with concern, and he sighs. “Yes, I am. There are other toys, kids down there who need to be freed from the horrors of that wretched factory. I understand why you guys wouldn’t tell me sooner, because we weren’t prepared for the journey down there.”

“But, we’re here now and refreshed and I can make some calls, to get some others to help with the return to the place where I had to endure so much, but it was all worth it, and I know the return to that place will be all worth it. Leon and Sergei can provide some help once I tell them, and I will call another guy who can help me, and bring some weapons.”

“Another thing you kids need to know, is that Sergei was given the Grabpacks, and reverse engineering them to become better, and stronger and make more of them…” He then looks to the others. “You guys don’t have to come along with me, with us. We can handle this, we were after all soldiers back then.”

“You’ve all been through a lot and survived the horrors and nightmares of Playtime. You don’t have to return there, you can all stay here, and be safe. You all know how this place works, and the folks in town aren’t bothered by you kids. I just… I want you kids to be safe—”

“We’re coming with you, father.” Mommy Long Legs stands up, and she looks stern.

“Marie—”

“No. No, do not Marie me, Father” replied a stern Mommy Long Legs. “We’re coming along with you, because we owe you and we want to help as well. There are others who need to get out of there, others who don’t deserve to be locked up deep within that horrible place. We will not let you handle all of this by yourself. We’re going back to Playtime, with you.”

“We’re not letting you face the labs and the prisons alone. We’re with you on this” replied Miss Delight.

“Plus, if we do reach Safe Haven, myself or Kissy can be able to get them to open the doors” replied DogDay.

“WE WILL NOT LET THE ANGEL FACE DANGERS AND EVIL ALONE.”

Huggy, Kissy and Catnip nod, and are also ready. Neil smiles seeing this. “Thanks kids. I guess the plan is in set and motion, and we’re gonna need supplies and a lot of stuff, if we’re to go there and face whatever the Doctor might have deep within. I feel like, he might be expecting us to come back there.”

“We have the Prototype, well Elliot Ludwig down there, and he’ll be surprised to see us, and maybe we can get his help to clear the way for us. I don’t think the toys of Safe Haven will be welcome to see him, but we will try and reason with them that everything has changed. Poppy… We don’t even know, if she escaped Ludwig, and made it there.”

“I guess we’ll have to see when we get there” replied DogDay.

Then Miss Delight asks. “When do we return to Playtime?”

“Tomorrow, but for now let’s pack and get ready for tomorrow, and tonight I am ordering pizza.” This makes the others excited, and they all work together, to gather what they need, well Neil will inform them of the roles they will play, when they head off tomorrow with some others, for Playtime.

(time skip, night time.)

After a nice night of pizza dinner, the toys/kids are now asleep, and Neil is in his office, and he sees the text messages from his brothers.

[I have the new Grabpacks locked, loaded and ready. I’ll also be packing some tools which will be useful for when we need to break through some obstacles. We’ll meet you there tomorrow.]

[You are so luck that I am having a week off from work and letting the others do their job and prove themselves. I’ll be packing a shit ton of medical stuff for when someone gets hurt. Also, we might face some hurt toys or kids along the way, I also wanna see this Red Gel too.]

Neil then makes a call to someone. “Hey Sharp, been a long while, huh?”

“Spellman? Neil Spellman? Hey man, been a long while since I last spoke with the private of the squad back then. Heard about the case, and the kids you got. Hope things are doing alright with ya.”

“Handling well, now here’s the thing. Apparently, I have to return to that wretched factory and save the kids who are deep within there locked away and trapped. We’re going to go back there, and get them out and find more evidence of the crimes against those who did all of it.”

“And you need my help? Well, it’s been a long while since I have seen some action. I can leave the rest of the guys to operate my Ranch Company. What do you need?”

“An Arsenal. You would be surprised at what the kids are, and what we’ll be facing down in that ruined Factory. So, bring an arsenal of what we need to defend ourselves.”

The line is silent, then Peter Sharp the CEO of Sharp Bovine and Horns Cattle Ranch replies. “Solid Copy. Give me the coordinates of the location, and I’ll get there fast.”

Neil smirks. “Thanks, see ya there, sarge.” Neil hangs up, he then sends the coordinates to Peter Sharp, to make sure he can get there with the arsenal they need. He knows that it will be a lot of weapons, and he looks out the window, and to the night sky. ‘Come tomorrow, we’re all going back… To Playtime.’

Chapter 27: The Return to Playtime

Chapter Text

Some small talk before they head off, and meeting with someone who has all they need to defend, and the roles they will play with what they’ll be packing, to ensure they are ready to enter the place where they last escaped, to save the others. I hope you all enjoy reading this new one guys.
Saving Playtime.
“The Return to Playtime.”

Morning has come, and Breakfast is already served on the dining room, and Neil puts the pots and pans away and he sighs. ‘This is it. This is the day. Today is the day we fucking go back, and we get the rest of those kids and toys outta that hell. Safe Haven, I never even knew.’

Neil heads to the dining room. ‘But then again, even if I did stay, it would’ve been the end of me. We are prepared, and ready to go in there and show the Doctor who the hell he’s dealing with. But then again, we have to be careful, because this is the same man who lead the Bigger Bodies Initiative.’

Neil sees, the others are already here, and ready to eat, but they won’t eat unless Neil is with them. Huggy Wuggy, Mommy Long Legs, Kissy Missy, Miss Delight, Catnip, DogDay and Catnap. Seeing them here, always makes him smile. “Good Morning kids.”

“Good Morning Father.”

“Good Morning Neil.”

“Good Morning Angel.”

GOOD MORNING SAVIOR.”

Neil takes his seat and he has his cup of coffee. “So, before we eat we need to talk. Today is the day, we have packed and prepared everything we need. My brothers are also ready and have everything packed. I have an old friend headed to the location of the Factory bringing weapons.”

“Another thing, there will be more Grabpacks, so that would be for Miss Delight, Huggy and Kissy, along with my brother’s and the friend who’s coming there, because we need to be ready for whatever other obstacles we’ll be encountering if needed. Are you kids sure you’re up for this?”

“We’re with you all the way Neil” replied Miss Delight.

“We won’t leave you to do this on your own Angel” replied DogDay.

“We already discussed this the other day. We’re going with you” replied Mommy Long Legs.

“TOGETHER WE ARE STRONGER AND WE ALL OWE YOU.”

Huggy and Kissy stand up, they head towards Neil, and so he also stands up and hugs them. Catnip climbs onto them and hugs his head. Pretty soon, they all get up and embrace Neil, some of them with tears, because they know returning to the Factory will be hard, but they all have to be brave for whatever they will be fighting.

The group depart from the hug, and they all enjoy their breakfast and there is a lot for them to eat. But then again, they all need their strength for what they all have to do. This also has Neil thinking. ‘We should also pack some food with us. We don’t know how many hungry mouths there are, within Safe Haven and a lot of them will be starving.’

(Later in the day.)

Neil’s truck drives out of town, they have reached the other side, and they see the forest, but Neil sees the pathway they took has been cleared of grass and weeds. This is a clear sign, that someone showed up here to clear it out, and so they take the dirt road.

They soon arrive at the Playtime Factory, the very sight of this place makes the Toys stomachs turn, bringing them back the memories of their torment and horror and their mistakes and horrific intentions.

The truck stops, and Neil comes out, the others come out from the Trailer being pulled. Miss Delight and Catnip come out from the passenger’s seat, and they grab their backpacks, each of them will be carrying something useful, though Catnap doesn’t seem to even need one, and same with Catnip.

They see a Hummer here, and the two guys who took this vehicle are Leon and Sergei, they showed up here earlier and cleared the grass and weeds from the pathway. “We noticed the dirt path is clean again. That you’re doing you two?” asked Neil.

Sergei nods. “Used the mower we packed, and had it attached to the hummer and cleaned it out. We know you called in Sharp to come here, and he’ll need the path cleared for whatever he’s hauling.”

Leon sees they all have backpacks, and so do they. “Looks like we all got what we need. We have roles on what we’re hauling?”

Neil nods, and he explains. “DogDay is carrying food in his backpack, with Huggy Wuggy carrying the emergency food rations. Kissy has the drinks, mostly water bottles. Theo doesn’t need to haul anything, since he’s our Red Smoke carrier. Miss Delight has emergency medical supplies. Marie has an emergency radio system that can pick up signals way below the underground limit.”

“As for me, I have some tools, and also some food. Do you have the Grabpacks ready?”

Sergei goes to the back of the hummer, he opens it and gives some to the others. Grabpacks for: Neil, Leon, Sergei, DogDay, Miss Delight, Huggy and Kissy.

“Now, these have been improved and modified to be better than the Grabpack 2. 0. The cable is extended even longer, a Red hand is available for everyone, along with the Blue hand, Flare Gun, Purple hand and Green hand. They’re lightweight, and yet durable and won’t break so easily.”

“To be honest, these things are by far the most useful thing I have ever seen. I finished the improved blueprints, and plan to sell these so they can be used by old folks and won’t need assistance due to their old age.”

Neil and Leon chuckle hearing this, a classic move from Sergei to improve on something and then have it given to the people who need it.

Leon then has his backpack and so does Sergei. “I am hauling medical equipment a well. Delight will need more help when it comes to medical expertise, and Sergei has tools, as in heavy duty tools meant for cutting, and breaking obstacles.”

Neil nods. “Good to know. We’re going to be facing a lot of hard obstacles along the way, and even powering up some stuff to open doors and other places. We just need to wait for—” The loud horn of a truck is heard. “And here comes the arsenal.”

They all spot, a Peterbilt Semi Truck, red and blue colored with blue flames on the front. This makes the three Spellman brother’s chuckle, and the Truck is also hauling a shiny silver trailer, with an Autobot logo. The truck honks and stops near them.

“I completely forgot you still had this custom-made beast” replied Neil. The toys are surprised to see this vehicle, and Miss Delight is confused why it’s made to look like this.

The door opens, and a man in a cowboy hat, same age as Sergei comes out, light brown hair tied into a ponytail and a goatee. “Well, I wasn’t gonna let this thing sit and do nothing. Good to see ya boys and… Wow. You weren’t kidding.” His name is Peter Sharp.

Peter is surprised to see the Toys, the children that Neil chose to adopt. “A shocker, and that means going into the Factory means we’ll be facing some who are kinda like them, right?”

“Yeah, we don’t know much about the labs or the prison, but what I was told from the kids is that it’s where a majority of the Bigger Bodies have been made. So we have to be careful and cautious when entering the underground levels, way underground from Playcare” replied Neil.

“Good to know, which is why I got the arsenal we need.” Peter heads to the back, and to the trailer. He opens it, and they all see so many guns inside. Ammo, and Demolitions and other gear. Peter goes inside, to get what they need.

“Is this all necessary?” asked Sergei. He is handed a javelin, and ammo, and an M16 Assault rifle and ammo. Even an anti-tank rifle.

“You can never be too prepared.” Peter hands Leon a G43 Rifle with sniper scope, and STG44 Assault Rifle, and some ammo. Even a compound crossbow.

Leon is annoyed handed these weapons. “This is for me because I’m German, right?”

Peter looks at him. “Nah, no way man.” He then goes back to getting more weapons, and this makes Neil and Sergei snicker. Then Peter hands Neil an M16 Assault Rifle, and an M1 Garand Rifle, and an Uzi SMG. Peter Sharp then hands each of them two pistols, and ammo for it.

“Sharp, this seems a little too much” replied Neil, and he manages to put the guns somewhere on his backpack.

“Like I said, you can never be too prepared.” Peter leaves the truck, with his own backpack and a duffle bag, and he has more guns, ammo and weapons. “Alright, so I am packing all the ammo, weapons and demolitions.”

All of them remain silent by what he said. “Wait, demolitions?” asked DogDay.

“Sounds kinda dangerous and a little too much” replied Miss Delight.

“Well, we’re gonna be facing a lot of dangerous toys down there, and we don’t know if they’re gonna be friendly and then we have obstacles which will need a big explosion to clear out” replied Peter, and he closes the trailer of his truck. “Let’s go and do this thing.”

“Wait, wait!” Sergei goes back to the hummer, and he grabs something. “This is for you, Miss Delight.”

Miss Delight is handed a steel ruler, and at the end of it is a steel ball. “What the heck is this?” She pushes the small button at the bottom, and it triggers the steel ball to have spikes. This surprises everyone. “Whoa!”

“Behold, Barb 2.0” replied Sergei. “Thought this would be more useful than a ruler with twine, glue , pencils and other school stuff.” Sergei then hands Peter Sharp his own Grabpack and he puts it on. “We’re going to need everything to ensure we don’t take a heavy beating.”

 Miss Delight puts her new weapon away, and they all check their backpacks if they have everything they need. Neil then looks to the group.

“Alright team, we’re going in there and we’re going to Safe Haven to get those kids out of there, and make sure they find a new home. We don’t know how many kids are down there, but they’re all worth saving.”

Leon then asks. “and what of the Prototype?”

Neil hasn’t forgotten about him. “Elliot Ludwig is still down there, and I know for sure he will help us. He’s awake from his horrific monster state, and I know he’ll want to help us get to Safe Haven, but chances he might be busy trying to find his daughter, and try to talk to her.”

“But even without his help, we have to try and make it down there on our own. We have each other’s backs, we keep a close eye on the environment and whatever might be down there. We haven’t been there in a long while now, and we are uncertain if anything has taken refuge within the Game Station and Playcare, but that’s the least of our concerns.”

“We don’t know the pathway beneath the Prison and Labs. Now, I know some of us here have been there before—”

“HAVEN’T BEEN THERE SINCE THE END OF THE WAR.”

They all look to Catnap, and even DogDay agrees. “It has been a long time, and we don’t know if anything changed. But, we know the pathway to Safe Haven, so that’s a good thing.”

“Then it would be wise to look for some kind of map, or schematic or blueprint, right?” asked Peter.

“We’re going to have to scavenge the lobby or Playcare or the Game Station. There has to be a map somewhere in there, or maybe something within the offices that might have a blueprint or schematics on the whole place” replied Miss Delight.

Then Mommy Long Legs remembers something. “We can try the Game Station Maintenance rooms, there might be a map there. But then again, when we get to Playcare, we can enter the Caves and find something, after all they had the construction company dig below, expand and build.”

Neil nods. “Then we have the plan set. We find a map or schematic, and we head down deeper, to Safe Haven and get those kids out of this hell!” They all cheer, and are ready for this.

But then Huggy and Kissy hug Neil, and so do the others. Leon and Sergei also join in. Peter smirks seeing this and he joins in as well. Neil knows, this will be hard, but they can do this now that they’re all prepared to venture deep below.

To be continued…
A/N: They have returned, and that means it’s time to head underground, and they are prepared and have more allies to come along with them, to get to Safe Haven. I hope you guys enjoyed reading this.

Chapter 28: Welcome back to Playtime

Chapter Text

Return back to the Factory, brave inside at the abandoned first three layers of this place, and find a way to head into the labs below, and find Safe Haven. Time to also see an old and friendly face who will try and help them along the way. I hope you all enjoy reading this new one guys.
Saving Playtime.
“Welcome back to Playtime.”

Footsteps are heard and even rummaging, as the group have entered the Factory, and go through some office doors, and rooms, trying to find something that can help them. They all gather to the lobby, the place where Huggy would stand and watch over.

Kissy stands next to Huggy and watch the area where he would always be. Huggy sighs, and so Kissy hugs him to keep him calm. Catnap and Catnip come out from the vents. “WE HAVE FOUND NOTHING.”

“Same” replied Leon. “But we did find some other documents and files which could help with the case” Sergei comes out of another office, and same with Peter.

But Neil and Miss Delight come out with a blue paper. “We did find something, but it’s just the layout of the surface and main lobby. This will not do to help us” replied Neil.

“This means, we should head for the Game Station, Mommy did say that there are some papers and documents down there” replied Miss Delight.

“Maybach Construction, I am aware and used to work for them and got them shutdown for some illegal business” replied Sergei. “Lets’ get to it.”

DogDay shows up, and he leads them to where Mommy Long Legs is, they enter towards Make-a-Friend and everything is still offline, and they see the pathway that leads to the lift, but they notice, its not moving.

“Marie, what the heck happened?”

Mommy Long Legs shows up from above. “There is no way to power the lift. Mommy tried to look for some way for this to get back and working, but there is no way. Which means, the source of power for the lift is within Playcare. Sorry, but we’re going to have to get to Playcare if we’re to use this to go into the labs and prison.”

“Then I guess we’re going to the Game station, let’s move out” replied Peter Sharp, and they take a different hallway, and this one leads to the catwalks, and they even see he broken catwalks where Neil and Huggy nearly fell.

Neil holds the hand of Huggy. “Calm down buddy. We’re all together, and that’s never happening… again.” They see the catwalk that leads to the Red Flower room, the room of Poppy Playtime. “How can we forget that place. That’s where we met her, and then brought us deeper.”

They all make their way to another catwalk, one that can lead them to the Game Station, but then DogDay stops. “You all go ahead. I’ll head to the Red Flower Room, to see if Poppy is there.”

This surprises them. “Doesn’t seem like a wise idea” replied Leon.

“Don’t worry, the Red Flower Room has a pathway that also leads to the Game Station. We’ll meet there, and I’ll be fine” replied DogDay. Neil goes over, and gives him a hug, he knows he can handle this. They depart from the hug, and watch as DogDay goes off, but then Catnip follows him, and so Neil allows this.

The group continue onward, and they leave the catwalks, and go down this hallway, and it’s kinda long but they soon reach a familiar hallway, the one that leads to the three pathways, and the one in the center is Elliot Ludwig’s office. So, they all head inside to see if there is something there to help.

They go through drawers, and then Peter finds something. “Got something.” He shows them the blueprint schematic, and lay out of Game Station and Playcare. “Looks like we found our map, but doesn’t say anything about the Labs and Prison below.”

This upsets Mommy Long Legs. “Dang it. This is not good, and we don’t even know where Leith Pierre’s office is. I mean, that place would have a map, right?”

“True, but we haven’t seen any pathways or doors that can take us to that office, and the best way to find it is through the slide we took back then, right Huggy?” asked Neil, and Huggy nods. He recalls, they went down the slide and there were others, belonging to Stella Greyber, and Leith Pierre.

“So, what do we do with this map then?” asked Leon.

“Let’s bring it along anyway” replied Neil. “Let’s get moving and—” They hear someone coming, and a secret door opens, and they see DogDay and Catnip show up.

“DogDay! Catnip!” The others head over and hug him and Catnip.

They all depart, and DogDay shows them, a map of the Labs. “Found it.”

Everyone is surprised by this. “What?! How?!”

DogDay explains to them as they leave the office of Leith Pierre. “We went inside the Red Flower Room, and didn’t find Poppy anywhere, but we found out she was there before, and then fled. We then went into this ventilation shaft, and it led us to a barred door.”

“Catnip here managed to enter the vent, and then came back to me with the map and layout of the labs and prison. Which means, he went into the hidden office of Leith Pierre. We now have a pathway and clear view of what the labs and prison look like, but we gotta be careful, it may have changed.”

“Years of being down there with no renovations and inspections on structural integrity could mean there might be some damage, and debris in the way” replied Sergei.

“We got the map to the labs and prison, now all we have to do is get passed Game Station, get some of the power for the lift in Playcare up and running, and then we take the lift and head on down there” replied Neil. “Let’s move!” They all head down the hallway to the Game Station.

To Neil and Mommy Long Legs, this hallway is where they met, and where Mommy Long Legs took the red hand, and they haven’t talked about that in a long while.

They arrive at the Game Station and everything is exactly the same as they left it. Sergei, Leon and Peter are surprised, and amazed by the size of this place. “Whoa, this place is like a Fall out shelter, but ten times bigger. I mean, this place is huge!” replied Leon.

Catnap snickers. “WAIT UNTIL YOU SEE PLAYCARE. THAT ONE IS BIGGER.”

Mommy Long Legs chuckles. “Now, now. Let’s not compete on who has the bigger territory. We need to get… Oh no… The Train…” Neil and Huggy also realize this, and they see the Train is not there, and then he remembers another thing.

“The Train, crashed and… Debris is blocking the tunnel, the tunnel that leads into Playcare. We can’t be able to reach it from here.”

“And that’s where I come in, people.” Peter Sharp checks the map of Playcare and Game Station, and he looks for something, he then whistles for Sergei to come over. “Punch a small hole with a drill, right…” He steps back and then stops. “Here!”

Sergei pulls something from his backpack, he puts the pieces together, and assembles the whole thing, and then places a battery, and then he points the drill to the center point, and he starts to drill int the ground and he reaches six feet.

“Alright done, now what?”

“Now, everyone take cover and stand back!” Peter goes to the hole, and he grabs a steel platform from his backpack, that seems cone shaped, and he slams it into the hole, then he fills it with C4 charges, and this alarms Neil, Leon and Sergei.

“Everyone get to cover now!” They all open the door to Statues, and they go inside and hide there. Peter finishes placing more than three C4, and he goes to hide with the others, and he snickers. Neil is baffled by his emotions. “What in the hell is wrong with you?”

Peter has the detonator. “I guess this is a part of me, that still hasn’t changed. FIRE IN THE HOLE!” He pushes the button, and they all cover their ears, and take cover as the explosives go off, and they hear this steel drill travelling.

The dust and smoke clears, and they are all shocked by what just happened, they hear snickering and all look to Peter. “I am doing the best, with what I am capable of doing. Am I awesome or what?”

Miss Delight and Mommy Long Legs are confused by this man. “Or what?”

They all gather around the hole, which is now even bigger. “Yeah, I fucking did it!” cheered Peter.

Mommy Long Legs slaps the back of his hand. “Language!”

Neil sighs. “Well, that’s the good news. Alright, let’s use the Grabpacks and—” They watch as Mommy Long Legs uses her stretching skills, to stick to the walls of the hole and go down, Catnap has Catnip ride his head, and he uses his claws to grind to the walls of the hole and get to the bottom.

“Alright, let’s get moving.” They then use their Grabpacks, to hang onto something and they all head down there.

The group arrive, and land onto the dome of Playcare. They all remain balanced, and then they see DogDay break a hole onto the dome, and Catnap helps breaks some of the parts. They see the place is in daytime mode, and they all slowly get down from the dome, and enter Playcare itself.

The others are baffled by the size of this place. Leon is shocked, Sergei looks around and Peter almost drops his gun. “My god. Look at this place, and there are other buildings here. This is like a far more advanced place than a Fallout Shelter from Fallout… I think.”

Leon sees the locations, and the wrecked area where the Safe Room was. He even sees the Hospital where they tended to Neil’s injuries. Sergei then looks to where the Gas Production Zone is, and they all head over there, except for Leon.

They enter there, and get started on the power, they do see some areas have been damaged, and they look around to see how they can fix it. But then they see Sergei rip open one of the generators. “Everyone wander around and look for something else useful or whatever.”

They all decide to leave Sergei to handle the generator, but Huggy stays with him in case he needs some help.

The group then spot Leon come back. “Where the heck have you been?” asked Miss Delight.

“Double checking the hospital on stuff, and I found some stuff within a locked room.” Leon shows them, schematics, and anatomy of several toys. Mommy Long Legs, Huggy Wuggy and Kissy Missy. Catnap, and the Smiling Critters, and Miss Delight, and even the Mini Smiling Critters.

“There are several locked up rooms, and I think we should break them down and see what we can bring with us, I feel like we’re gonna need them.” The others also agree, and head to the hospital.

Neil does notice, the bed he was on, the same bed where he was when he was unconscious and almost dead so many times. Mommy Long Legs also notices this and she looks towards him. “Are you alright?”

Neil sighs. “A little bit, but when we get down there, then I’ll be fine.”

Mommy Long Legs knows that he’s uncomfortable seeing the place where he faced a lot of pain and experienced the Hour of Joy. She then looks out the window, seeing the Playhouse, Home Sweet Home, School and Councilors Office. The places where Neil has seen a lot of messed up stuff.

They manage to open some locked doors, to find some more files, documents, and something else, several VHS Tapes, and Leon shows it to the others. Catnap picks one up, and hands it to DogDay. “REMEMBER THESE?”

DogDay is surprised. “Oh, these are our interview tapes. When the staff would speak to us, and I remember seeing these. They don’t end quite well, and some of these are the interviews with the others, from each Miss Delight, Mommy Long Legs, and several Boogie Bots.”

Neil sighs. “We should leave them.” He then asks the others. “Has anyone else seen something? Find anything useful?”

“A Barrel filled with modified parts.” Miss Delight shows them the barrel, stuffed with spare parts for the Smiling Critters, and even some for Catnap but they look way too thin, and he doesn’t like them. He likes the muscle density he has after getting a lot of good food for the past few days.

DogDay checks these limbs. “Maybe we can find the others, if they did survive. I mean, they must’ve survived right?”

Catnap looks down and feels regret. “PICKY IS GONE. SHE ATE BUBBA AND THEN STARVED AND ATE HERSELF. TRIED TO STOP HER ONCE. SHE BECAME FERAL.”

This horrifies them, and that means Catnap had to put her out of her misery, but DogDay saw this coming. “Figured she would end up like that. But that would mean, the others are possibly alive, at Safe Haven… If they got past, the Doctor.”

This concerns them and they bring these parts out of the hospital, and Leon uses his Grabpack to go back to Game Station and leave it up there, and he even found two barrels filled with Red Gel, which was locked in another room, and he’s bringing this with him to be left at the Game Station, and then he soon comes back down.

They then see Huggy Wuggy wave to them. “they did it!” replied DogDay, and they head over and see Sergei got the generator up and running.

“You managed to fix it and get the power back on?” asked Neil.

“Yeah, this was easy actually” replied Sergei. “Also, this is like the same thing used back when I worked for Maybach Construction. I guess, the idea of the generators came from them. Chances, if we encounter something like this, I can get the power back on without the need of Grabpack puzzles.”

Neil and Huggy sigh in relief, they don’t have to do weird puzzles, and glad they got someone like Sergei who knows engineering, and mechanical repairs.

They all watch as the lift comes back down, and they all hop onboard. They then realize someone has to stay behind to keep the lever on, but then Sergei has a remote. He pushes it, and the lift goes down. “You’re welcome.”

“Glad we brought you with us” replied Mommy Long Legs.

The lift continues to go down, Neil speaks to the others. “Alright, we have the map which will help us when we get to the prison and then the lab, and will take us to Safe Haven, but we don’t know how much has changed down there, since this is an old map from somewhere around the 80’s or 90’s.”

“So, we gotta be careful and cautious when going down there. We don’t know what the Doctor might have in store for us. We got the weapons, the gear and everything we need to try and survive the underground. We are so close to Safe Haven. We’re getting the other Toys, out of there.”

But then they feel the lift moving faster. “What the heck is going on?” asked Miss Delight.

“WHY ARE WE MOVING FASTER?”

Sergei tries to push the remote, but nothing. “Guys, I think something sabotaged the lift!”

They all try to hold on, but then the lift halts, and they see something big grabs the center of the lift, using large sharp claws. They all look up, and are surprised to see the Prototype, well it’s eyes in the darkness, and it speaks with the voice of Elliot Ludwig.

“Well, this surely is a predicament you have yourselves here. What are you all doing back here, in Playtime?”

The other toys sigh in relief, and then Neil speaks. “Ludwig, we need to free the toys who are trapped in Safe Haven.”

“That will not be an easy task to perform. The Doctor has locked down the entire Labs and Prison. I cannot even access the ventilation shaft, and if I try to breach inside, he would send his experiments to overrun me. Also, Poppy may have reached Safe Haven when I was trying to follow her here.”

That one surprises them, and Mommy Long Legs bangs on the wall. “That little brat is obviously telling the others about what had happened. This whole thing won’t be easy anymore.”

“We have to try and reason with them at least, and tell them the real truth” replied Miss Delight.

“Some of them might be upset that we haven’t gone here before, but once we get them out of Playtime, then they’ll be happy and grateful” replied DogDay.

Neil looks to the Prototype. “The Doctor, is he sabotaging the lift?”

The Prototype nods. “He is, and for the Doctor to perform this could only mean one thing… He knows that others have come, to destroy what he worked hard on. He wants to make sure no one messes with his experiments, and his horrific work.”

They are all concerned about this, Peter then speaks. “We came this far, and there’s no going back now. We’re going down to these labs, and we’re gonna find Safe Haven and get everyone else out of here, once and for all.”

“The journey will be perilous, but we’ll brave through it all, together” replied Miss Delight.

This surprises the Prototype, and he too is filled with determination hearing and seeing these kids, these people, who are willing to risk their lives to get to Safe Haven and get those toys out of there.

Neil looks back to the Prototype. “Elliot Ludwig, can you lower us down?” The Prototype nods, and he slowly helps bring the lift down, to the ground level of the area known as, the Prisons.

To be continued…
A/N: And they now have to brave the underground levels, and find Safe Haven and ensure they all get out of playtime, together. I hope you guys enjoyed reading this.

Chapter 29: The Prisons

Chapter Text

Time to enter “Poppy Playtime Chapter 4.” They have returned to the Factory, and are now going underground to seek out Safe Haven, but the group have to get passed the Prison and the Doctor. I hope you all enjoy reading this new one guys.
Saving Playtime.
“The Prisons.”

The lift slowly makes it down, and then lands. Neil sighs, and he sees Leon and Sergei and Peter checking their ammo. “Alright guys, this is it. Time to get in there and—” But the Prototype’s arm blocks him and they look up as he speaks to them.

“You must be very careful, all of you. The Doctor has made some, experiments down here which have never ever been made by Playtime. I am sure that DogDay, Catnap and that little one are aware of their old pals, the Nightmare Critters.”

They see DogDay, Catnap and Catnip remain silent, but they swear they can hear DogDay growling. “As I thought, I don’t know if this is true. But there might be, some Bigger Body versions of the Nightmare Critters, but all of them altered and meant to do something horrific, similar to how Catnap deploys Red Smoke.”

They can hear Catnap growling, and then Neil asks. “I don’t think I’ve heard about them. Care to elaborate to us?”

“This will teach you who they are.” The Prototype hands Neil a document, with the names of each of the Nightmare Critters, and even Leon, Sergei and Peter read it.

The Nightmare Critters. Baba Chops the Black Sheep, Icky Licky a Poison Dart Frog, Rabie Baby the Bat, Allister Gator the Alligator, Simon Smoke the Dragon, Poe the Raven, Touille the Rat, and Maggie Mako the Shark.

They look to the other toys, and they remain silent, but Miss Delight speaks. “We never speak of them, it puts these three on edge. Things were going great with them all being friends, but then everything changed after the hour of joy.”

“WE HATE THEM ALL!” DogDay and Catnip also agree with Catnap. All three of them look pissed off, and the other toys take one step away from them. They fear, that when they encounter the nightmare critters, these three will go all out berserk and kill their former friends.

Neil can see there is going to be some tense action down there. “Alright then, I guess now we know what we’re up against. Let’s get going.” But they look to the Prototype. “What about you? What are you going to do?”

“The Toys in Safe Haven will never welcome me, they have been afraid of the Prototype for years. Instead, I will try and scout the Labs and Prisons, and divert whatever Sawyer has away from your path. Stay safe, stay together, and don’t get killed. Also, keep an eye out for the Doughman, he tends to wander the prisons and labs, unnoticed.”

This surprises Neil, and they watch as the Prototype digs into the wall, to reach one of the locked-up ventilation shafts. Neil looks to the toys. “Doey the Doughman? How?”

“You have seen many things down here in Playtime, father” replied Mommy Long Legs.

“Living Playdough, is a hard thing to understand angel. We don’t even know who he was before” replied DogDay.

“Chances, we might find out that truth when we get there” replied Peter Sharp. “Now come on, let’s get moving.” They all leave the lift, and find a way out of the loading bay area.

They see the pipe above, and this is easily recognized by Catnap. “RED SMOKE. SHOULD LEAD US TO SAFE HAVEN.”

Neil looks to the map. “It would seem like it. I guess we’re following the Red Smoke pipes.” They see the stairs, and climb, but then Mommy Long Legs stretches ahead, and she checks the door.

“We got a problem, we need a battery to make this door open.” Mommy Long Legs spots one, and she swings around and she grabs the battery and inserts it, they all clap and so Leon uses the blue hand from his Grabpack to scan the door, and it opens.

They go down this hallway, and DogDay races to one of the slightly open rooms, and then he comes out with a note. “What does it say?” asked Miss Delight.

“Just something about the Red Smoke being flammable and dangerous” replied DogDay, and he hands the note to Neil. “We’ve seen it before, and Catnap here has experienced it.” This makes Catnap silent, and he recalls the fiery pain.

They then spot the door. “Looks like we’re going into a Cave of some sort. This should be less fun, or as Neil would say, fun for him to explore.”

“I explore caves that aren’t too dangerous, and right now this cave system is deep below the ground and way far from the surface” replied Neil. “Also, I’m retired from urban exploration and other abandoned places exploration.”

They all enter through the door, and are now inside of a cave pathway, they can see the remains of some small toys, which means this might be the remains of those who fought against the Doctor, and they can see these are Smiling Critter minis who died.

They reach a dead end, and Sergei sees a crate, and a hole. “Well, we’re all not gonna fit through there.” Sergei hands the others some sledge hammers, and they move the crate aside, and they all smash through the rock and debris, making a larger opening.

“And now we can get through, convenient you had these. How are you even capable of carrying these in your backpack?” asked Miss Delight, and they hand over the sledge hammers back to Sergei.

“I know how to handle heavy cargo and loads. I’ve done it before when I was in service with these guys, and I can do it again.” 

They continue to travel through the dark caves. Encountering some running water nearby, some Red Smoke pipes they need to follow, leaping over gaps, and encountering more and more dead Toys, one of which is a Catnap, and this frightens Catnip who hides on top of Huggy.

They eventually arrive to a large pile of fallen rocks and debris. They all work together, and clear these rocks out of the way, Peter Sharp is about to say something, but Neil stops him. “We’re not using explosives for this, Sharp. So, shut it.”

They finish clearing the rocks, and they can now pass through, and they see that they have arrived at a checkpoint. “This will lead us, to the prison” replied DogDay. “Dang, it has been a long time since we’ve been down here, I forgot how dark and gloomy it is.”

The group enter a room, and they see the gate is sealed by some rope. Neil goes over, and he removes this rope, but it’s tied strong. “this looks hard to handle, and terrible knot tying.” He backs up and uses the flare hand to burn the rope. “There we go, cleared up.”

They see the doors slowly open, and this confuses them. “Not creepy at all, right?” asked Leon.

The group enters, and are horrified to see, mountains of dead toys. “Is this… A graveyard?”

Catnap looks around and is confused. “THIS WAS NEVER HERE AFTER I LEFT.”

“This has to be the work from the Doctor! He’s behind this, and killing them” replied Miss Delight.

“Seems like these are the spoils of war.” Peter checks the remains, and he sees Smiling critters, and Nightmare critters. “And some casualties from his side, that were never able to recover, or he found them replaceable.”

“We have to find the entrance to the prison” replied Mommy Long Legs, and so they all make their way down the path, surrounded by mountains of dead toys, even seeing the remains of small Huggy’s and Kissy’s, and mini Mommy Long Legs.

This scares Neil, he’s never seen this many bodies of toys, and he knows they were all once children, and he sighs. “this place is a true hell, I just… We have to get to Safe Haven.”

But then they hear some movement, snarling, growling and some footsteps. “Guys, I don’t think we’re alone here.” Leon points his gun, and so does Sergei, but they see Neil go to a barrel and he picks up this note, which is marked as “Riley’s Journal Entry.”

August 8th, 1994

Riley, Age 12

First week at Playcare. I didn't know what to expect. I didn't know what I wanted it to be. There are a lot of people here, and they've given a lot to me. A room, a roof, a big pink bed, girly toys (I'm a little too old for that), and a journal. The adults encourage me to talk to the other kids, but I'm not sure what to say to them. Most of them have been here almost their whole lives, or, at least, they were young enough that they can't remember what they lost. My parents loved, protected, and taught me, and I'm not sure the others even remember what that's like. They don't know what they don't have, but I do. I remember a lot. I try to be kind to them though, even if there's very little I can say. Right now, I think I prefer it like that.

The nice counselor who said I was quiet told me that I could say whatever I wanted in my journal, and it would only be for me. Make two lists, she said, one with what's important to me right now, in this moment, and the other being why. She said it might help me. I'm going to try it.

What's important to me:
That the nice counselor cares enough about me to try to make me feel at home.
Trying to get comfortable here. Even if it's not home, it's all I have now.
That my life matters, since it can be lost so quickly.
That my parents' lives mattered too.

Why: Because I'm scared. Anything can happen in an instant and leave you with nothing, and because of that, I'm scared that nothing matters. But I want to feel happy again (Really, I do), and it's important to me right now, in this moment, that someone here cares that I feel at home, even if I'm not.

This surprises them. They felt like, something is wrong with this. This kid Riley, this is like the start of her life story when she entered Playtime, and then Neil looks to the toys and he asks them. “Do any of you guys know a name of someone named Riley?”

“There were a lot of students to even try to keep track of” replied Miss Delight. “We would never see the same kids every time, and you all know why.”

“And same with the Game Station, there were always too many kids for me and the others to try and keep track of” replied Mommy Long Legs. “And during that time, I mourned every time I wouldn’t see the kids I recall. But the name, almost sounds familiar, I think.”

Then Neil looks to DogDay, Catnap, Huggy and Kissy. They shrug, and don’t know either. Neil feels like, there might be more to this kid named Riley. So, they all continue their journey through the Toy Graveyard, and this area is already giving them the creeps, and they’re all being cautious.

Neil should be bothered but seeing that note is making him feel like he should find more, and then they hear a noise again, but this makes Huggy and Kissy growl, like they know this kind of noise, and even Mommy Long Legs finds these small snarling sounds familiar.

But then they see Neil walk ahead of them, and he finds another note. They all head over, and see what it says, and to their surprise it’s another journal entry from this kid, named Riley.

January 14th, 1995

"Being chosen." The other kids talk about it a lot. I still don't know what that's about exactly. If it means being adopted, I'm not sure I even want that.

What's important to me:
Figuring out if I even want to be adopted.
Trying to feel what the other kids seem to feel day in and day out.

Why: If I was happy like them and could feel it like that, maybe I'd appreciate everything more. Maybe I'd want to be chosen too.

February 10th, 1995

I've been chosen. Dr. White chose me.

For a while, I didn't know I wanted to be, or how I'd feel if I was. But, really, I think I'm happy! There were interviews, of course, but I didn't think any of those couples actually liked me. Too anxious. Too quiet. Doesn't get along with the other kids. And good test scores don't always make a good kid, they'd often say. But I guess somebody liked me.

I asked if I could take my journal. They said yes, but I wanted to write this out before l leave.

I haven't felt like this since before the accident. Since my parents. The lists Ms. Harper told me about have helped me a lot in recent months, and now, I think I have more for the first list than ever.

What's important to me:
That I still try to be the girl my parents raised. Live by their values so that a part of them is still here, so that their lives mattered.
Being good to myself, and to whoever takes me in.
Staying happy.
Finding more friends.
Getting used to a new home. -Growing up to help kids that were like me.
Start an orphanage, like Elliot Ludwig, and fill it with toys and good people.

This kinda makes them happy to know that Elliot Ludwig inspired this kid to try and do the same. But they also feel bad, that this kid obviously never made it out alive. They can already see, that this child became part of the Bigger Bodies Initiative.

They continue to walk through the path, and Huggy looks to his right, and he swore he saw a familiar small figure, and so he continues to walk along with the others, but he’s right. Some small things are watching them all from the shadows, and they all look hungry.

The group reach the end of the path, and they can see the gate, but then lights turn on and this blinds them and they back up. An alarm sound is heard, and the gate is closed“What the hell is this?!” yelled Peter Sharp, but then they hear some snarling sounds, and they see from the tops of the dead toy mountains, are living small toys.

“WE WERE BEING WATCHED!”

“Which means they want to eat us, of course” replied Sergei. They see the small toys are Mini Huggy’s, Mini Kissy’s, and Mini Mommy Long Legs.

Neil is shocked, and doesn’t move. So, Mommy Long Legs grabs Neil and they head to the gate. But they see these small hungry toys are coming for them, and so Huggy and Kissy snarl and shriek at them, and this does scare them, but then Catnap rushes in and deploys Red Smoke, and this scares the small toys who all flee from the area and back into the shadows.

The alarm sound is gone, and all of them are shocked by what they have encountered. “Okay, glad we survived that one. Good job, Catnap” replied Leon, and they see Catnap being cautious, but then Mommy Long Legs can see two notes, and she stretches to grab both notes.

They all read the notes, and are shocked by what they read. It’s more of Riley’s journal, but this is something more horrific and horrible, something the Toys have encountered and endured.

????

This wasn't what I thought, what ANYONE thought. They took me somewhere. Not out, but under. Deep beneath EVERYTHING. They gave me a shot, and I went to sleep. Maybe that was days ago. Maybe it was weeks. I remember images. My skin opened up like flower petals, a man who looked like a doctor digging around inside me, taking things out. I remember feeling his touch through my ribs and into the back of my spine. I remember hearing a snap. Everywhere was red.

When I woke up, everything hurt, so I screamed. Hours and hours of screaming. I stopped once I knew no one was listening.

I'm not me anymore. My body is not my body. My hands are not my hands. I try to brush the hair I still feel at my shoulders, and touch nothing. I can't separate my fingers, even though I can almost feel them move. It's like nothing of what I feel actually is. Maybe that's been true for a while now.

I'm in a room that isn't so different from the one I had in the orphanage. Everything's nailed down. I've been here a long time.

I'm trying to write the lists that helped before, but I've dropped the pen three times. I don't know what else to do.

Why did I survive if this was all I'd get? What did it all mean if this is where it put me? This can't be all there is.

What's important to me:
Waking up from this nightmare.
Getting out.
Getting back to being me.

Why: Because I'd started to like life again before, and none of this should be real.

Reading this is now sounding horrific. Then they read the next note, the fourth journal entry.

The room started moving. I'm not sure what that means, or where I might be going. I'm scared, but I'm trying to- Wait, something happened, everything is upside down. There's a hole in the room, but everything outside is so loud. There's screaming everywhere. I'm better off in here, for now. I'll cover the hole with something.

It sounds like everything is quiet now. Don't think it's even been an hour since it all started. No one's tried to get in here. I think I'm going to head outside.

THERE ARE BODIES EVERYWHERE PILES AND PILES THEY LOOK LIKE ME OH GOD OH GOD WHAT'S HAPPENING?!

All of them are in shock. “She… Got turned into, a toy?” asked Leon. They see the others remain silent, and some of them have tears, Neil goes over and he hugs them all. Now Leon, Sergei and Peter can see, the true horrors of this wretched Factory, and what insane experiments the staff have done.

The three guys are already having plans on if they encounter a living staff member, and they want to make them suffer for what they did, but they know that the staff of this factory have all met their fate, in the Hour of Joy.

Just then, Kissy notices something and she points, to the Red Smoke pipe, and it leads up above… They have to climb, the piles of dead Toys. With no other choice, they do exactly that and the very feeling of climbing on these bodies makes them all feel sick.

Neil tries his best to not freak out, but they soon make it to the top and back into a cave path, but then Neil goes to vomit in the corner, and so Miss Delight goes over and rubs his back.

They all understand how he feels, and they soon make it back to their journey through the cavern halls, and to find the Prison.

They use their Purple Hand Grabpacks to Leap over large gaps, swing around and balance themselves, though Mommy Long Legs can just stretch to get there, and Catnap can perform long leaps, and they all arrive to a certain location, a loading bay, and then they hear a phone ring.

“does this place get actual signal for calls?” asked Peter.

Neil knows who it is, and he goes to answer it. “Ollie?” This shocks the others, they already know that Ollie is actually the Prototype and that the Prototype is actually Eliot Ludwig, but it seems Neil just likes to play along with Ludwig and whatever he does. “What’s happening?”

“the Prototype is doing his best, scaring off and diverting a lot of the Doctors guards away from your path. But there have been no sign of the Bigger Body Nightmare Critters. I hope you’re all doing you’re best. I can’t seem to get a signal to call Safe Haven, and Poppy is in there.”

“Whatever you do, do not let you’re guard down even for a second. This place, has gotten worse after you showed up before. The Doctor is making things into his personal experimenting ground and he’s planning to look for Safe Haven and break it open. Get there, and save them all.”

The phone hangs up, and they can tell that this is all too serious. Neil looks to the door of the station nearby. “We need to find some way into the prisons, and then to Safe Haven. Now!”

But then they spot, a decayed human body. They haven’t seen a human body in this place yet, and there is a note. Sergei picks it up, and he hands it to Neil and they read it. This is the fifth journal entry, from Riley. They all fear of what might have happened to this child turned Toy.

Finally calmed down. Have to be calm. Have to think clearly. Have to get out. I'm going to see if anyone is around. There's a man inside the construction vehicle. I tried banging on the glass. I don't think he can hear me, and he isn't moving. Have to get back to my room where it's safe. Figure out what happens now.

This place is a prison. I don't know what I thought it'd be, but it wasn't this. I mean, what did I do wrong? They made me into this, and put me in a cell. There must be hundreds, maybe even thousands of others here. How could this happen?

There's no food here, only the bodies, and I refuse to eat them.

The train, that's what takes everyone here. The conductor's dead, but he has a key, a key that makes the train move. I don't know if there are people elsewhere, or if they intend to come back here with more like me. I'll take the key, make sure no one else can come here. I'll put it where no one can find it.

I don't know how little or how much my life mattered, but I can do this. This one thing. Maybe it'll save someone. Anyone. Even just one person. That would be enough. Nobody else should hear what I've had to hear inside this place. Nobody else should know hell like this, or the demons that live there.

What's important:
That I helped someone the way I wanted to someday when I thought I was adopted.
That my life mattered to someone.

Why: So that I'll know, wherever I go now (hopefully to my parents) that I fulfilled a little of what I said I would, and made life just a little better for someone else, even if this place took everything else.

Neil drops the note, and he wipes away some tears, and this also makes the other toys realize, the Hour of Joy, the aftermath of it all, could have killed her, ended her life, and she leaves behind this key, for the next person to use and make something of it down the road.

Neil then looks to the others. “No time to lose everyone. We have to find that key, and get the hell to Safe Haven, and fast!” They all walk around and search, Huggy and Kissy see the power pylon poles, but the power source is inside of the office station, and they need a key to go inside.

Mommy Long Legs and Catnap at the higher areas, and Catnap sees a container meant to transport toys, and he goes inside and is shocked. “ANGEL! COME HERE NOW!” This alarms the others, and so Mommy Long Legs helps Neil up there, and she too goes inside and they are horrified by what they see.

There is the word “KEY” written in blood, and below it is a toilet, and jammed into the toilet or sitting on it, is a pink furry thing, with a child’s skeleton slowly peaking out, and a key in its small hand.

Neil, Mommy Long Legs and Catnap know who this is, and this makes Mommy Long Legs shed tears, Catnap walks out of there, and Neil takes the key, and he picks up the remains of Riley, and they leave there and make it back to the others.

They all see the body in Neil’s arms, and this confuses them, but they see the key. “Guys, say hello… To Riley.” Neil has tears, and the others gasp and are shocked, to see that this is what has become of the child. They can see, she was meant to be a small Kissy Missy.

This makes them have tears, Peter sees a shovel, and he grabs it and starts shoveling at the dirt, and he’s followed by Sergei and Leon. DogDay goes over, and uses his front paws to help dig, a six foot grave.

Neil heads over, and he sees the hole is done, and he slowly places her remains inside, and then he places all the notes, and he steps away. “Rest in Peace Riley. You did it, you did help someone, you helped us and we will do what we can, to ensure the others do not go through more of this wretched hell!”

Neil wipes away some tears, and the others also mourn. “Wherever you are Riley, I hope you’re reunited with your parents. This is revenge, for you and the others who died in this hell.” They bury the remains of Riley, and they take this moment of silence, and do a small prayer, to honor the child who helped them advance further.

With the key, they open the office station, and Sergei uses his Grabpack to connect with the power source, and then the two power pylons, and then to the outlet, and they don’t even bother with the VHS Tape inside of the Station building.

The train is now powered up and they see one of the cars is open, and so they all board inside, they do have to clear the space in there for all of them to fit. “Alright, we got transportation. Let’s head into the prison, and then find Safe Haven” replied Neil.

They all nod, and so Huggy and Kissy close the door of the car, and they can feel the train is now moving.

They all just sit and wait, but then the TV above glitches, and they all see, an eye on the screen looking at them. This scares the toys, and some of them hiss and growl, and then Catnap speaks one name. “THE DOCTOR.”

This surprises Neil, Leon, Sergei and Peter, and they can hear the dark and sinister voice of this Doctor.

"Mmmm, now what's this? Do I feel something squirming its way beneath my skin? An invasive, foreign little germ? It seems to be multiple little germs. Unwanted parasites. After all this time?... Ah, but I see... You... All of you, I have anticipated the return of those who… Changed everything above.”

“Let’s see. Experiment 1222, Experiment 1170, Experiment 1171, Experiment 1188, Experiment 1181, A Miss Delight Experiment, and one of the Smaller Experiments. Such an odd group. Then we have the little germs who would dare set foot on my skin.”

The room of the car starts to shake, and some metal bangs and clams around outside, alarming them all.

“You have all managed to make things different, and change what was meant to be, something that should have stayed in place. But it seems, you have all changed my plans. But that won’t matter. There are no shadows here that would be of use to you. Not even the ground beneath your feet is yours.”

The ground starts to shake, and they all hold on. “There are no places for you all to hide. Not from me.” They hear his laugh evilly, and the screen turns dark, and they feel the whole room is shaking, and spinning and everything turns dark.

Neil slowly wakes up, and he sees DogDay trying to speak to him, and soon sound comes back. “Angel, are you alright?”

Neil sits up, and he sees the others are also awake. Miss Delight tends to Catnip and his small cut, and Mommy Long Legs comes back after checking some areas, and he sees the others pushing the door to a cell open, and they manage to get it opened. “Guys, are we all in the prison?”

Mommy Long Legs does hug Neil, and so do the other toys, the three guys sigh in relief, and are glad he’s fine. But Sergei speaks. “Seems like the Doctor caused the train to crash here, and also… We’re here, in the prison.”

They all leave the prison cell, and they look around and see that they have arrived to the one place they have been looking for. “We have to be careful everyone” replied Miss Delight. “We may have found the place, but we need to be cautious.”

“She’s right, the Doctor will obviously see this as an experiment session, to observe us” replied Leon, and he checks his G43 Rifle. “So, let’s lock and load, eyes up and don’t let your guard down.”

They all make their way through, and pass by so many holding cells, and they can hear snarling, growling and chatter at each one, then DogDay sees something. “Someone… Close that… Right now.” They also see it, a holding cell with two Nightmare Critter minis, eating a dead toy.

Mommy Long Legs stretches her arm, and she manages to close the cell.

But then they notice, Catnip go towards a slightly open cell, and they all go inside and see this hole in the ground. “Not all of us can enter that hole. We’ll need to find an alternate route” replied Sergei.

“I got one.” Peter Sharp heads to the cell they came from, and then they see him come back with a large piece of metal from the crashed train, and he looks down to the steel grates blocking the below, and he throws it over and it crashes down making a new and bigger hole. “Problem solved.”

They all remain silent, and even the Toys in the holding cells see this and are shocked. The group all make their way down there, but they did see the Guard’s station office above, and they feel like they have to go back there and check it out.

They are all horrified to see piles of burnt small toy bodies everywhere, and this disgusts them, and angers Catnap. They see some obstacles blocking their way, but they can manage over them and get to the other side without finding another pathway or long way.

They then look around for another way out, but then the voice of the Doctor can be heard.

“The Subjects seem to have an advantage, and are truly prepared for whatever outcome, even using complete stupidity to break open obstacles which could be a problem to other children. But perhaps we can test their fear when something else is released.”

 This confuses them, and they see the holding cells all opening. “Oh shit.” Mommy Long Legs slaps the back of Peter’s head.

The doors open to reveal… An army, a flood of mini Huggy’s, and… Mini Nightmare Critters.

This is now serious. Miss Delight readies her new weapon, Barb. Neil, Leon, Sergei and Peter are ready to open fire, and they are all back to back and ready to fight. “Alright, let’s light these little—”

But a furious DogDay, Catnap and Catnip spring into action, and they start tearing apart these little critters with their bare claws and teeth. The others watch as this happens, and some of the Critters all scream and make a run for it.

The carnage is over, and they see DogDay, Catnap and Catnip are panting, and are covered in blood. DogDay then snaps out of it. “Sorry, I just… These are not children.”

Catnap pushes a dead Icky. “THEY ARE NOT MADE FROM THE REMAINS OF SUCH.” Catnip also agrees, and he starts cannibalizing a dead Maggie.

“No need, all understandable, and also… That was pretty killer guys” replied Neil, the others also give them thumbs up. Neil then looks to the camera. “What now?! What now Doctor?!” No response, and the voice feed is cut. “Looks like we scared him off.”

They all head back upstairs, to see the office from earlier, and so Kissy uses the Red hand from her Grabpack to open it, and they enter the guards office, where they encounter this Yarnaby cutout, and so Neil pushes the button to hear him speak.

"The name's Yarnaby! Would you Warn-a-be my friend?"
"Press the button to brush my mane!"
"Brushy, brushy, brushy, brushy"
"Wow! Yarnt I glad to have a friend like you! Get it? Because I'm made of yarn? Yeah you get it."
"Without someone lie you to love, why, I think I'd just come apart at the seams!"

Then music plays and it goes static. “Huh, so that’s what he sounds like” replied Neil, and they walk around this room, and try to find some way out of this area of the prison and advance further. They manage to complete this puzzle, which is a hangman’s puzzle.

They make it out of the office, and then go back to the upper prison level where they last were, and then down this hall and then they see a red hand scan is needed to open another gate. But they hear some static on a phone, and it almost sounds like Ollie, but it’s all in static.

“What the heck? Something’s… Something’s wrong here” replied Peter. They do see the other office rooms, and they feel like they should go in there and see what’s within.

But then Neil speaks. “We don’t have time everyone. We have to keep moving, we have to get to Safe Haven.” The others also agree. Miss Delight uses the Red Hand on her Grabpack and she gets the cell door open, and they head on through. 

They go through the hall, and see a trail of dead bodies, so many dead human bodies. They see a keycard at the end of the hall, but it’s blocked by dead bodies, thankfully Mommy Long Legs stretches her arm to grab the keycard and they return back to the prison gate control area.

They use the keycard, and the Red Hand scan, and another cell door opens, they don’t realize that Huggy also found a VHS tape, and he brings it with him. They enter through the open cell door, and encounter another prison area. “How big is this prison place?” asked Sergei.

“BIGGER THAN PLAYCARE.” Catnap can sense the presence of more Nightmare Critter minis in the holding cells. They all make their way through, and bypass some obstacles, but then Neil notices something wrong, and he counts the group.

“Hang on, guys… Where the hell is Catnip?!”

They all notice, he’s gone. But then an alarm blares, and the voice of the Doctor is heard. “Don’t fight it. Fighting will only make it work faster.” They see, the whole place is going to be flooded with Red Smoke.

“He’s released the Red Smoke from some of the pipes!” yelled DogDay.

“Gas masks up!” yelled Leon.

“That won’t matter!” yelled Neil. “If we don’t get this Red Smoke under control, then it’ll breach for Safe Haven and—” But the Red Smoke fades, and this surprises everyone, as the Red Smoke is now being sent through the vents.

“What the heck just happened?” asked Miss Delight, and then they see, at the lower area of the holding cells, is Catnip and he just twisted the wheel on the pipes, sending the Red Smoke to a halt, and also triggering the vents to suck the Red Smoke out of the Prison.

“Huh, so he snuck off to fix things” replied Neil, and they take off their gas masks. “Catnip, I am so proud of you and also that was very dangerous! Get back up here because you just saved our lives, and the others from Safe Haven!” Catnip nods, and he makes his way up there.

They turn around and don’t hear anything from the Doctor. “Looks like his new test has been put to a halt” replied Mommy Long Legs. “Still, he will try to do something again.” Catnip arrives, and sits on Neil’s shoulder. “We should get moving before—”

They see DogDay staring at an open cell, and he drops his Grabpack. “DogDay?” asked Neil, and they go over and see what’s inside, and all of them are shocked, and even Catnap is surprised.

Bobby Bearhug, a Bigger Body version… dubbed as Experiment 1186. They all gather inside, and check on her. But, she cannot move.

This confuses Neil. “What the heck? Bobby? Can you hear me? Can you see me?!” Bobby does see them, and she is shocked to see DogDay is back, and some other Toys are here, and even Miss Delight and Mommy Long Legs, and she sees four humans.

DogDay sighs and he explains. “Bobby, she suffers from some nervous systems issues. Damages within her, for some reason. She can hear, and see. But she can’t move, or speak. They tried to many times to fix her through surgery, but nothing worked, and it was always the same.”

“Bobby, it’ll be okay. We’re here now, and we will get out of the Factory together, and you can come home with us, alright?” He then hugs Bobby, and this makes her have tears. They’re all touched and hurt to see this, and now Leon has something to fix, the damage within Bobby Bearhug.

Bobby is shocked to see Catnap, and he goes closer, and hugs her. This shocks Bobby, and she closes her eyes, and sheds more tears. But then a familiar voice is heard. “Hello? Is there, anyone there? Hello?”

They all leave the holding cell, with Bobby carried by Kissy Missy on her back. They look to the hallway of the prison cells, and are shocked to see, another of the Bigger Body Smiling Critters. “CraftyCorn!”

CraftyCorn stands at the same height as DogDay. She places one hoof on the wall, and she’s looking around, and they gasp and see, her eyes are missing, and there is some dried blood around the sockets. “Hello? DogDay? Is that you?”

DogDay goes closer, and he holds her hooves. “CraftyCorn, it’s alright. It’s me DogDay. I’m real, we’re all here!” He then hugs Crafty, and she starts to embrace DogDay, feeling he’s real and she starts to son.

“D-DogDay? I thought… I thought that… You’re here! You’re actually h-here!” But then she stops and departs from the hug. “W-What are you doing down here?”

“We’re all here to get everyone out of Safe Haven and take them out of the Factory, and go home with our adopted father, our angel and you’re coming with us” replied DogDay, but he sees her eyes are missing. “Crafty, what happened to your eyes?”

Crafty wipes away some tears, and Miss Delight hands her a tissue. “The… The Doctor… He did this, and… Wait, Bobby! Is she fine?!”

“She’s here.” Neil goes closer, and checks on her. “She’s fine, and… Oh my god, Crafty. I’m so sorry for you. We’ll get you and Bobby fixed up and back to normal, that is a promise.” Hearing the voice of this human, makes her emotional and cry, and so Neil hugs Crafty and does what he can to comfort her.

This scene seems all too familiar to Mommy Long Legs, and she too joins in the hug, and so do the other Toys. Leon on the other hand, now he has another thing to fix, and this sparks some determination to fix both Bobby Bearhug, and CraftyCorn.

They depart from the hug. “CRAFTY. I AM… I AM S-SORRY.”

This startles CraftyCorn, but DogDay holds her hoof. “Calm down. Catnap is with us now, he’s family again. We can trust him, and he has helped us after the angel helped change him.” Crafty feels uncertain, but she’ll give him a chance.

Leon then speaks. “We have to keep moving guys. We don’t know what else the Doctor has planned.” They all agree, and they make their way down the hallway, with DogDay carrying Crafty over his back, and they see this gate stuck trying to close but a crate is on the way. So they go through.

Neil does spot this file, and it’s about Yarnaby, and this makes him concerned and he puts it into his backpack, to read it for later. They make it down hallways, and they manage to open locked doors by breaking them and then solving some more power puzzles to open some more shutter gates.

They go through a main door, and enter this large room, with several other rooms, and they check each one, but the other Toys back away and don’t wanna go in there, and so the four humans enter these rooms and realize, these are rooms meant to observe the toys they make.

Neil is shocked, and they see chairs with chains, and the observation rooms being a mess. He can see the others are tense and they don’t want to go near or see the observation rooms, and he can see Huggy hug Mommy Long Legs, which means this is where she was also observed and reconditioned.

But then Neil, Leon, Sergei and Peter enter another one, but they are trapped inside, and the others try to band on the shutter gates. Then the Doctor speaks.

“I am quite surprised, and entertained. I have never met such intriguing, and resilient humans such as you four. But then again, life out there has changed so much which I must truly understand. Still, employees of this place or not, it appears it’s time for me to begin the next phase of this experiment.”

“The others you’ve faced. 1,170, 1,188, 1,222. Been there, and done that. You changed them, seems like another form of manipulation in the form of care. Quite interesting, but let’s see if you can try and handle something more, different.”

The shutter gate is broken, and the other toys break through, and they hear he Doctor call out. “Oh Yarnaby.” At the other side of the glass, something races from the gate, and they see it’s a living Yarnaby… But his mouth, opens vertical and is filled with teeth and a second mouth!

This makes Neil, Leon, Sergei and Peter scream in horror, and Yarnaby tries to break the glass, but he can’t. “I liked it better as a cutout!” yelled Leon in horror.

“Please do keep making this interesting and enjoyable for me. I’ll be taking notes.” The Doctor goes silent, and Yarnaby takes a ventilation shaft. Which means he’s on the move, and on the hunt.

“Screw you asshole!” yelled Sergei. “What the hell do we do now?!”

They manage to open the door, and they run down the hallway but then the ventilation shaft nearby opens and Yarnaby is right in front of them. Neil then has an idea. “Guys, we can try to use—” But something made of Playdough grabs Yarnaby and throws him into another vent, and the doughy arm goes back into the vents.

All of them are surprised by what they saw, and the other toys know who that was. “Doey?”

CraftyCorn, being blind then asks. “What? Doey the Doughman is here?”

To be continued…
A/N: They have entered the prison, and are now about to deal with Yarnaby. To be continued as they make their way, to head for Safe Haven, after seeing Doey save them, and they even found… Two of the other Smiling Critters. I hope you guys enjoyed reading this.

Chapter 30: Headed for Safe Haven

Chapter Text

The hunt of Yarnaby is still ongoing, but thankfully they will all get help from someone, and then make their way to where they need to be. I hope you all enjoy reading this new one guys.
Saving Playtime.
“Headed for Safe Haven.”

At the moment, they’re all running. Kissy uses her Grabpack to seal one of the ventilation shafts, and then Leon sees another one, and uses his Grabpack to close it. They have been running, and closing the ventilation shafts.

DogDay and Kissy are doing their part, carrying the blind CraftyCorn and immobilized Bobby Bearhug, and both are scared at what’s happening, but hearing the name Yarnaby is all too familiar to them.

“We lost the element of surprise and splitting up is not an option people!” replied Peter Sharp, they go through a labyrinth of shelves, and Mommy Long Legs sees one of the ventilation shafts, and so she knocks over some shelves, and they block the pathway, keeping Yarnaby from coming in.

“Smart move, Marie!” yelled Neil. “Does anyone see any Red Smoke Pipes?!”

They enter another area, and this is a computer maintenance room, but they all stop and stay quiet, as Yarnaby is not too far. Sergei then uses the hand flare gun, and he sends it to one of the Ventilation shafts, and this triggers Yarnaby to enter it.

They all come out of hiding, and they drag some computer parts and they use them to block that path. All of them sigh in relief, and they see Huggy Wuggy head to one of the VCR’s located here, and he did find a VHS Tape, and he puts it in, and they hear this audio recording.

This is a conversation with three higher ups within the Factory. Leith Pierre, Stella Greyber, Eddie Ritterman, and this has something to do with the Doctor, Harley Sawyer, and they all sound ticked off.

Eddie M. N. Ritterman: "This recklessness has to stop. The Doctor has no regard for the safety of this facility, or its staff."
Stella Greyber: "Or the children in Playcare. I've tried to set boundaries with him. He doesn't listen to me."
Leith Pierre: "He doesn't listen to any of us. Not really. Not anymore. And he's behind schedule. Playtime may have turned a corner financially, but that doesn't change the fact that his 'Bigger Bodies Initiative' is still a money hole."
Eddie M. N. Ritterman: "The guy's gotta go, Leith."
Leith Pierre: "And how do you suggest we do that?"
Eddie M. N. Ritterman: "This wouldn't be the first time we've made someone disappear."
Leith Pierre: "We can't kill him, Eddie."
Eddie M. N. Ritterman: "...Why not?"
Leith Pierre: "Because like it or not, we need him."
Stella Greyber: "Eddie's right though, Sawyer can't keep leading this project."
Leith Pierre chuckles and is annoyed: "So we just ask him to step down? Take a demotion?"
Stella Greyber: "No, but-"
Leith Pierre: "I'm not disagreeing. Huggy loose in the woods, that business with CatNap, the whole Stoll thing-"
Eddie M. N. Ritterman: "And half a dozen other incidents-"
Leith Pierre: "Right, and all that pales in comparison to the Theater Incident."
Stella Greyber shudders: "I don't even want to talk about that..."
Eddie M. N. Ritterman: "So... we can't kill the sonofabitch, but we need to knock him out of the equation. What do we do?"
Leith Pierre: "There is one thing I can think of..."

They all remain silent, and even the Toys are shocked. “So, even they didn’t like him?” said Miss Delight.

“Which is odd since The Doctor has always been on good terms with them…” DogDay thinks about this. “But then again, he eventually grew to think he has power over Playtime.”

“SEEMS THAT THE DOCTOR GOT BETRAYED BY HIS OWN FRIENDS.”

“I think the word you’re looking for is Colleagues.” Sergei then looks around for a way to escape, but the others are still surprised by the VHS Tape.

“So, they got rid of him by putting him into a Computer mainframe?” asked Neil. “And to think, he was always putting kids inside of Toys, and instead he got shoved into something else, since they need his expertise and brain. That explains so much.”

“Actually, father…” Mommy Long Legs has something to say. “there was one time, a staff member got put into a Toy, a Bron Toy and the others didn’t like him, because they knew it was no child in there, and they attacked him.”

That one surprises them, they didn’t know that nor did they find any information or files on that. Neil also doesn’t want to ask the toys about these incidents, such as the theater incident, since it might make them feel tense and nervous.

They make it to another room after breaking open the door, and they are once again in another are filled with empty and covered shelves, and just as they keep moving, they hear a familiar growling sound, and they turn around and see Yarnaby show up.

This alarms them and they all make a run for it, but Catnap and Catnip deploy Red Smoke to block his line of sight, and it’s working. Yarnaby is slowing down, and straying away from their path, seems like the Red Smoke doesn’t affect him but instead it irritates him.

But they know Yarnaby is not done with them and will keep on chasing them, and this is indicated to this odd theme song they’re hearing, and they reach a door, and break it down, and then they pile up some desks and other stuff to block his path, and they don’t see anymore ventilation shafts.

“Dude, I didn’t think the path to get to Safe Haven became a Predator conflict” replied Leon.

“Let’s just get moving. We have to find any sign of more Red Smoke Pipes” replied Neil, and so they continue through the hallway, but they see Kissy enter an office, and she grabs the key card, and Neil sees a cutout, of Pianosaurus, and he goes over to push the button and hear what he says.

"Hellooooo! I'm Pianosaurus"
"I used to be in a band, then the asteroid hit."
"Wanna hear a little song that I've made just for you? It goes a little something like this..."

The music of Pianosaurus plays. Then it goes static, and this surprises Neil. “Wow. So, he’s very musical.”

“I don’t think we’ve ever met him before” replied DogDay. “Did we?” Catnap shrugs, and so do the others. They don’t seem to recall a Living Toy by the name of Pianosaurus.

Sergei on the other hand is confused. “So, it’s a Dinosaur and Piano combined? Wow. That is weird.”

Leon does notice this other room, and he also spots this large box, and he swore it moved a little, and so he ignores it, and doesn’t notice, the box cover slowly opens to peek out and see what’s going on.

They enter another hallway, and Neil sees a VHS Tape, and they don’t have time to watch this since Yarnaby might show up, and so he just keeps it in his pocket, but he takes note of the tapes they’ve been collecting, and this one is a Green Tape, about Stella Greyber’s audit.

They all just continue on their way, and look for any signs of the Red Pipes, but they haven’t seen any, then Catnap stops and sniffs the air. They see Catnap go into a room, and there’s a door that needs a key card. Thankfully Kissy has one and they go inside.

But as they go inside, the area shakes a little, and this causes Neil to stumble, and he falls into this large observation area, and he lands at the bottom. This alarms the others, and Mommy Long Legs stretches down to check on him. “Are you alright father?”

“I’ve been through worse falls, don’t worry about… Me?” They all look to what he sees, and right there, is the actual living Pianosaurus. “Oh, god. It’s him, he’s real and… He’s hungry and wants to kill.”

Pianosaurus looks to Neil and Mommy Long Legs, and he makes a mad dash for them, before the others can attack, something grabs Pianosaurus, and they watch as Pianosaurus is slammed all over the place, onto the walls and then to the ground, and then he’s dragged into the darkness.

The sounds of cracking metal and plastic can be heard, crunching and chewing, and then the parts of Pianosaurus are thrown everywhere, and the head thrown towards Neil and Mommy Long Legs. This surprises them and then they hear a voice.

“Man, that sure did hit the spot. I haven’t eaten in weeks!” They see, someone appear, Doey the Doughman. “Hiya there, pal! Don't worry, I won't eat YOU. [giggles] I'm Doey. I was told to expect you. This way. Follow me...”

Neil screams in horror, and this surprises Doey, and then Neil faints.

…..

Neil slowly blinks, and he wakes up. “W-What? What the heck?” He then realizes, he’s being carried by Catnap and they’re all walking. They all stop and check on him. “Guys, wha—” The Toys all hug him, and so he hugs them back. “And I missed you guys too.”

He then looks to Leon, Sergei and Peter. “Guys, how long was I out?”

“A long while now.” Doey shows up. “Sorry for scaring you earlier, I just haven’t had anything to eat in weeks, and then they gave me something to eat and now I’m fine. You already know who I am, right?”

Neil shakes hands with Doey, and he sees some clay stuck to his hand which he wipes off. “Doey the Doughman, and wow you are so… How is Playdough even made to be alive?”

“Big Doey the Doughman here has been guiding us, and we have been collecting more and more files, and VHS Tapes” replied Peter. “He’s leading us to Safe Haven.”

“Yeah, and they told me everything, the truth” replied Doey. “Seems like what Poppy has been saying was sort of true. Thanks for showing up here, and wanting to set us free from the Factory. This means a lot to me, and the other Toys. We just need to reach Safe Haven and then tell the others about what’s really been happening. I still don’t feel comfortable, knowing the Prototype has changed.”

They all continue through this hallway, then they enter the Caves, and Doey becomes a bridge for them to walk over. “But then they told me that the Prototype is none other than Elliot Ludwig, and now I have more hate for the Doctor even more. I have always hated him, and I just… I want to kill him.”

They all continue through the caves, and with the help of Doey to cross some gaps. “But now you’re all here, and we can all get out of this Factory and find a new home. I’m also glad you guys found Bobby and Crafty, I thought they were goners when the Doctor took them. You guys are pretty prepared.”

They enter this room, with a gate that seems heavy and chained. So, they all work together, and use their Grabpacks to pull onto the heavy gate, and even Mommy Long Legs helps pull, and they manage to get the gate open. “Well, that was hard” replied Neil.

DogDay then notices something. “I think we were supposed to use those chains to help us open the gate.”

“Seems too late now” replied Peter.

Neil does find a file, a document and it’s about a kid named, Quinn Navidson. He stops walking and is shocked, the others turn around and see Neil put the file into the backpack. “Something the matter?” asked Miss Delight.

Neil sighs. “We have to try and change Yarnaby.” Everyone remains silent hearing this. “I know who he is, and the Doctor… God damn it, he’s going to pay for what he did to the poor fella.” They can see, that there is another task at hand, try to change Yarnaby.

This seems all too familiar to Mommy Long Legs and Catnap, and they also like this idea. They follow Doey, but since they aren’t like him, they have to use hallways, large gaps on walls, and move obstacles to clear the path and keep following him.

Neil then calls out. “Doey, can you slow down? We’re not made of Playdough like you.”

They soon reunite with him. “Our Generator hasn’t been working so well as of lately, and we try not to use too much power, and so we chose to shut down the area here. But, I can open the gate for you guys.” He then shows them the pathway to take.

After removing the shelves that have been knocked over, they make it down the path and are handed a battery from Doey, and they plug it into the outlet.

They enter this labyrinth and they see this generator, and it’s missing some cogs and gears, and so they all wander around and manage to find the missing cogs, and gears, and with Sergei’s help they get these placed in, and he understands where each one goes.

The repairs are complete, and they can hear a gate open, and Doey speaking. “Nice one, the next pathway is a straight shot inside. I’ll see ya at Safe Haven, and don’t worry, the defenses will be offline so you guys can get on through.”

They all go down another utility loading path, and they go through this now opened gate, and they need to hurry so that nothing else can enter Safe Haven.

They enter another area, and see the body bags hoisted up and hooked, and it seems like this area is once again for experiments on children, and this disgusts Neil. They manage to move aside a fallen locker, and then go on through.

But Mommy Long Legs also moves the locker back in place, realizing this is a way to block off whatever might be following them, and they see the door to Safe Haven is there, but then they hear something not too far behind.

“This way.” They see Doey’s arm motioning them to another area, and they follow and squeeze through this gap, and make it out through the other side. “So glad Mommy can stretch her body” replied Mommy Long Legs.

They make it through some more rooms with fallen shelves, and then they see a painting on the wall, of Kissy Missy and she runs ahead, and they see the yellow gate, and she bangs on the door, followed by DogDay who calls out. “Open the door! It’s us!”

The door slowly opens from within. “Everyone get in there, now!” Neil hears something coming, and so Catnap uses Red Smoke to block off whatever is coming, and they all make a mad dash into Safe Haven.

They all make it inside, and lay down on the floor, but then Huggy and Kissy get up and they help close the door, and the others also help, and it’s sealed. They all sigh in relief, and they are met by so many small toys, all of them being Mini Huggies, and Mini Smiling Critters.

“This is… This is Safe Haven?” Neil then looks around. “Whoa!” They see the multiple makeshift tents, the entire lobby is riddled with so many big tents, for the toys to live and sleep in. “This place is… Like a refugee camp.”

Peter didn’t like seeing this. “Brings back a lot of bad memories, huh boys?” The others also agree, since these four humans did do their service as a squad of soldiers.

They can see some murals on the walls, and then the Toys all look to them. Neil speaks to them all. “Everyone, calm down. We’re not here to hurt anyone, we’re here to help and I promise, we will all get out of this Factory.”

Then Doey shows up. “He’s right. I met with them all earlier.” He stands with the other group and speaks to the Toys. “These guys, are not dangerous or the enemy. They’re here to help us, and that means a lot of the stuff Poppy told us is not all true. They’re not the bad guys here.”

“They needed to leave, because they were tired, and weren’t ready for what was to come, but now they have everything they need to come here, and here they are now, to save us all and get us out of this factory, and this also means, they’re right, that the Prototype is no longer the enemy!”

This makes them gasp. Miss Delight speaks. “It’s all true. The Prototype is actually Elliot Ludwig, he wasn’t himself, and couldn’t control the angry side of him, but then again we have all been angry even after the Hour of Joy, and lost ourselves.”

Huggy and Kissy also agree, and this is heard by Bobby and Crafty, and even they have some hope now.

“This human here, this is our angel” replied DogDay who points to Neil.

“OUR SAVIOR.”

“He changed us, and we’re all part of his family, and perhaps, you can all too” replied Mommy Long Legs.

This shocks Neil. “Wait, what?”

The Toys all cheer hearing this, and Doey claps and nods. Neil also claps, and is unsure about what they meant, that they all could be part of his family. ‘I’m gonna have a lot of mouths to feed.’

But they all don’t notice, Poppy watching them from the corner, and she didn’t like this. They have arrived, and the truth of why they left has been explained, and now they’re here to free everyone and leave this factory. Doey then looks towards them. “So, what do we do now?”

Neil looks to everyone, and then to Peter, Leon and Sergei. “You have been through this before, you lead us down here to get to Safe Haven. Take the lead, Spellman” replied Peter.

Neil smiles, and he nods. “Alright, we have food and water, we have to share them with the Toys here, they’ve been stuck in this place for thirty years. They’re all starving.” The Toys are shocked to hear, that it’s been thirty years, and Doey tries to control his anger, knowing that they’ve been down her for too long.

“Leon, get Bobby and Crafty to the medical center here, and treat whatever Toys who need help the most. Kissy, and Delight, go with him.” They nod, and so they bring Bobby and Crafty to where the medical area is, and they are led by this Scout bot named Medic. Leon puts on some gloves, and he gets ready to help the wounded.

Neil looks to Doey. “We need this place secured to make sure the threats out there is where they should be!”

They see this smaller version of Boogie Bot called Scout, and she pushes the button on the remote. “Locking down Safe Haven. Reactivating the defenses.” This does surprise them, and this also sorta gives Wall-E Vibes to the four humans.

“Sergei, go and see if there’s anything you can do to ensure the generator doesn’t break down” replied Neil. Sergei nods, and so Doey leads him to the generator, and he can get started with repairs.

“Peter, stay and guard the two door areas, and make sure nothing gets in.” Peter Sharp nods, and he heads off, but Poppy does notice the explosives in his bag, something she needs. But then Neil spots her. “Poppy…”

She walks away, and ignores him. Neil sighs. Then Mommy Long Legs goes closer. “We did it, dad. We made it, to Safe Haven and I have to say, they have improved and made progress, and now everyone will be fed, healed and leave soon.”

“We just need to find a way out, to guide everyone out of this place in one piece, and nobody else getting killed.” Neil then recalls something. “there’s still one more thing, finding out how to calm down Yarnaby.”

They see the murals on the walls, many of them seem sad and also about Safe Haven, but then he sees this room, and inside he sees Two toys praying to a shrine, and this shrine is more like an altar to honor those who died, and he sees the mural on the wall, the mural which shows the great Toy war, between the Toys from Safe Haven, and the Toys from the Prototype.

Mommy Long Legs sees this, and she remembers one thing, she was not part of the whole thing and chose to stay in the Game Station, with the toys who wouldn’t join, and remain within her care, and she sighs and recalls, she couldn’t save the other toys who were with her, because they turned on each other.

DogDay shows up, and Neil checks on him. “Everything alright, buddy?”

DogDay nods. “CraftyCorn insisted to let the others be healed, and then Bobby. She said she’s fine staying blind a little longer, and waiting. Also, we gave water and food to the others, and everything seems fine now.”

Neil can tell something else is wrong. “DogDay, are you alright?”

“I just…” Then Catnap shows up. “I want to know, what happened to the others—”

“They’re gone.” They see Doey show up, and speak to them. “The rest of the Bigger Body Smiling Critters, are gone. Hoppy is gone, and we know Bubba and Picky and Kickin are gone. They’re gone. We thought Bobby and Crafty were gone, and same with DogDay, but now we know, they’re alive and all thanks to you, Savior.”

Neil sighs. He sees Catnap hugging DogDay, and then Huggy joins in on this. “My name is Neil Spellman, big guy. Good to see you holding things up well in here. You’re a natural born leader Doey.” This makes Doey chuckle, and then he motions Neil to follow him, and even Mommy Long Legs follows.

They do hear the others talking, the other toys talking about them.

“Can you believe this? These people are here, and want to free us. But, how?”

“I don’t know, but did you see the other toys? How did they change them to good?”

“This is incredible, we’re getting good food, and medical treatment. These are the good guys.”

“I can’t wait to leave this place, and we can finally see what it feels like to be outside.”

“They said thirty years, so what has happened above? Did everything change?”

“I hope so, I mean I remember those cartoons with flying cars in the future.”

Neil chuckles hearing these toys talk, and he hopes he has a plan. They follow Doey and reach the location of the generator, and Sergei managed to open it and is fixing the machine.

“Your friend here is good with the generator, he managed to open her up.” Doey chuckles nervously. “I haven’t been able to for some time. I guess I don’t have skills like this guy.”

Sergei speaks to them while he’s working. “Doey calm down, and I don’t blame ya. The gate to open this thing was almost tough, I had to use the saws and jaws to bust it open, and the systems here seem easy to fix. Also, I am not Neil’s friend, I am his brother, and same with Leon.”

Doey then looks to Neil. “So, what you did up there, is all true. You changed everything, changed the toys who were once bad, and made them into friends, into family.” He then shows him the document, of Harley Sawyer. “Listen, I think I have a plan on how we can all escape.”

“There is a secret lift here in Safe Haven, but it’s on the far side, and doesn’t work anymore. It’s locked up tight, and secured. You need to get something that the Doctor has, it’s called the Omni-hand, it will give you access to open, and control everything here within the labs, and prison.”

Neil now knows what he’s trying to say. “I know, I have to go and confront the Doctor, get rid of him and claim the Omni-hand… Alright, I’ll do it. If it means that everyone leaves Safe Haven and the factory, then so be it.”

Doey smiles. “Thanks, I knew I could count on you. Glad the Prototype is on our side too, I hope he’s alright out there handling whatever the Doctor is throwing at him. But Poppy… She’s just… Her plan, the explosives and Red Smoke… It sounds all too dangerous and could get us all killed.”

“Yeah, we’re aware of her plan to make the Red Smoke into a bomb” replied Neil, and he sees the agitated look on Mommy Long Legs, they haven’t forgotten what happened at the Train and Poppy’s actions that killed the others.

Neil then sees Doey look concerned. “Poppy’s plan, I just… It would be a total waste for nothing. The Prototype is different, and she won’t accept it and we just… We cannot let that happen. The toys here, they’re my family and I don’t wanna lose them, I don’t wanna lose all of them.”

Neil goes closer, and he hugs Doey, and so Doey hugs him back and cries. “There, there big guy. I got ya, I got ya. I promise, we’ll get the Omni-Hand, and Defeat the Doctor, and then we’re all leaving, together.”

They depart from the hug, and then Doey explains something else. “Head to the sewer system by the infirmary. It’s your safest way into the Doctor’s lair, but chances you’ll need more to help you. Other Toys perhaps.”

“And that is where I come in.” They look to Mommy Long Legs. “I helped you once, and I will always be there to help you. I won’t lose you to anymore trouble, ever since what happened at Playcare. So, I won’t take no for an answer, father!”

Neil smiles and he touches her face. “I wouldn’t have it any other way. We’re gonna go there, and kill the Doctor, tear him apart.”

Then Huggy Wuggy shows up and Catnip. “And we got more company, the more the merrier.”

“You need someone to clear the way?” They see Peter and Catnap. “We can do that. Besides, there’s someone on the phone for you.” He throws the phone towards Neil, and he hears the voice of Ollie, who is in fact The Prototype, which we know is in fact Elliot Ludwig.

“Hello. You made it to Safe Haven?”

“We did, and we are giving food and medical attention. How’re things going on way out there?”

“The Prototype is resting a bit, and lost track of the other critters made by the Doctor. But, there is something else going on, something the Doctor has planned. Once the Prototype gets some rest, then it’ll check around and try to find some clues, and also try and remove more obstacles that the Doctor will throw.”

Doey moves closer, to hear this voice, the voice they all knew as Ollie, who is actually the Prototype.

“Stay safe, stay alive and find some way to destroy the Doctor. Claim the Omni-hand, and then leave this place before things get worse, and tell the others… That the Prototype, is sorry for everything it’s done, and that it should’ve made things better, after the Hour of Joy.”

“Another thing. The other orphans, the children who were taken long ago during he Hour of Joy, at first the Prototype had them, but then the Prototype found out they went missing, and the only one with the answers, is the Doctor. But I fear, they have been… Been killed, and turned into…”

“Ollie, calm down. It’s alright, we understand. What matters, is that the rest of us, get out of this place. Stay safe, and do what you can.” Poppy overhears this, and she’s horrified, the orphans from long ago, are gone, and all because of the Doctor, and the Prototype was unaware of this action.

The Phone hangs up, and they look to Doey, and he sighs. “Alright, I’ll help clear the path as well.” They then see Catnap stop, and he looks towards the main gate, and this doesn’t see right.

“Theo, what’s happening?” asked Neil.

“NIGHTMARE CRITTERS.”

This concerns them, the bigger body versions, Peter Sharp gets his guns ready, he heads off with Doey and Catnap to go and deal with those creatures.

Neil, Huggy, Catnip, and Mommy Long Legs head for the infirmary, and they see Leon is still tending to some wounded Toys, and Bobby being ready for surgery, with the help from Medic, and they have enough supplies, even see Miss Delight helping patch up a hurt mini DogDay.

“Looks like everything here is doing alright” replied Neil.

Leon sighs, and he nods. “Doing the best, we can here, and it feels like our service as being soldiers is back again. So, you guys going to go and deal with the Doctor Harley Sawyer?”

“We are.” Neil sees Bobby who remains motionless on the bed. “Do what you can, and help her. I know you can fix Bobby Bearhug, and CraftyCorn, you’re the best god damn surgeon I know who has done the unthinkable so many times.”

Leon smirks and he nods. “I know, I always do my best.” He then goes back to tending to more of the injured toys.

Neil, Huggy, Mommy Long Legs and Catnip venture to this hole, which is a tunnel and it leads them into the sewers, and they see the Red Smoke Pipes and they start to follow it. But then they hear a talk between Poppy and Doey at one of the pipes.

“Poppy you have to understand, what they’re doing is a good thing. They managed to change the others, and even the Prototype. There is no need to blow this place up anymore. Once they finish with the Doctor then we can all leave and never ever come back.”

“I won’t accept that. The Prototype is still dangerous and must not be allowed to continue any longer. Do you remember everything that monster did?!”

“Yes, I know Poppy. That was long ago, a long time ago, possibly more than twenty years ago. But, it has all changed. We know the truth now, and the real threat here is the Doctor. We are not blowing up the underground levels Poppy, it would be a huge waste, and many of us will be killed.”

“So many have already been killed, and all because of the Prototype. Look, I don’t know what will happen next, but this whole place has to go down. Buried, and wiped out. We have to stop the Prototype, and the Doctor. We can’t trust that monster.”

“Poppy, we understand what you’re trying to say, but we’re all starving down here, being hunted. You disappeared, and we kept searching for you. You don’t understand the pain we all had to go through while you were gone, and I had to do everything I could to make sure everything and everyone was fine. We already lost a lot of good toys while you were gone. Do you even realize this?”

“I… I’m sorry Doey, but my plan was necessary, we needed someone to come here, and put an end to all of this. Blowing up everything is worth it, trust me on this!”

“I’m sorry Poppy. But, you’re not thinking or even hearing yourself. You need to figure this out on your own. Now, if you’ll excuse me. I have to go and clear the way, so that the Estranged Angel of Playtime, can find the Doctor and end this thing, for all of us.”

Neil and the others didn’t like hearing this. “I feel like I should have webbed Poppy when I had the chance back there” replied Mommy Long Legs.

“Would’ve saved us all the trouble” replied Neil.

They all make their way further into the sewer, and they reach the small lift, and they take it back up, and they see the Red Smoke pipes as they head to where they need to be, to find the Doctor, take his Omni-Hand and get everyone out of Playtime.

To be continued…
A/N: They did it, they made it to Safe Haven, and now they have to brave through the Labs, and find the Doctor, end his life and take the Omni-Hand. I hope you guys enjoyed reading this.

Chapter 31: The Labs and the Doctor

Chapter Text

Time to find some more truths, involving the Doughman, to confront the Doctor, to find more on what he has done, and claim that Omni-Hand. I hope you all enjoy reading this new one guys.
Saving Playtime.
“The Labs and the Doctor.”

The lift stops, and the four of them step off, Neil, Huggy Wuggy, Mommy Long Legs and Catnip. They look around and enter what looks like the sewage treatment plant, they can see dead bodies in the green water, and then Neil sees this file, a document of this boy named Mathew Hallard, and it has something to do with Doey the Doughman.

Huggy then grabs the nearby VHS Tape, and he puts it into the VCR, and they hear the recording from one of the scientists, talking about this kid named Kevin Barnes, and once again it speaks of… The Doughman project.

“I don’t like this, something doesn’t seem right” replied Neil.

This confuses Mommy Long Legs. “Why would two children be needed for one project?”

Then they spot the Doey cutout, and so Neil pushes the button, and they hear him talk.

"Hiyya there, I'm Doey. I can be anything you...knead."
"Good thing I have your imagination to give me shape! I can never make up my mind."
"When you want a little fun, stretch-around, play-around fun... There's only one thing you need..."

The rest is static and this groaning sound. Neil didn’t like where this was going, but he does take a good look at Doey. He has a blue body, and red bottom and orange right arm, and yellow left arm, but he also sees a red, yellow and orange arm and hand like appearances on his body, and it seems odd.

They see that there are gears are inside of cage like holding areas, and they use the door nearby, which leads them back into the caves, and they look around and see nothing else around here. They see a power source, and a cart carrying a pylon power pole.

They need to figure this out, but then Neil spots something, er someone, well something familiar. “Barry!” It is in fact, another Barry the Minecart, and there is a dead body inside of it.

Huggy then stops Neil and points to something high above, and right there, looking damaged and on some rails, is the real Barry the Minecart, the one from the Game Station and he only has a few toys inside of him now. “Oh, the real Barry! Barry, are you okay?! Sound off!”

But no response, and this confuses Mommy Long Legs. “You do realize that’s not alive right?”

“Don’t worry Barry, you did a good job back then, and I hope you can do it again!” Neil then looks to the others. “Alright, lets finish this puzzle, and then get this Brother of Barry to help us.” Neil and Huggy get to it, but Mommy Long Legs and Catnip are so confused, that’s just a minecart painted on with eyes.  It’s not even a living toy.

Neil and Huggy work together, and manage to figure out the power input puzzle, and the shutter gate opens, then Neil calls out. “Barry! We’ll be back buddy, I promise!” Huggy also cheers and calls out. They head towards the gate, but this still confuses Mommy Long Legs and Catnip.

They head deep into the caves, and see some construction vehicles and more dead toys. They swing around and leap over gaps, and bypass a lot of obstacles.

Then they see this large gate, and so Neil uses the Grabpack, both red and blue hand to open the gate, but then something tries to get through the gate, the familiar claw of Yarnaby, and this surprises them. Neil stops and he turns around. “Run.”

They all make a mad dash for the nearest gates, and they manage to get through. They go down this pathway, and they turn around and see Yarnaby trying to breach through the gate, but he can’t and so he looks for a new path.

Neil, Huggy, Mommy Long Legs and Catnip look around and see where they are, and Huggy growls. “You’re right Huggy” replied Mommy Long Legs. “We have entered, No Man’s Land. Which means, we’re almost there to the Doctor.”

Neil sees a keycard, and then he sees this power outlet, but it looks different and also needs a button pressed to redirect power, and he recognizes this. “Wait, I’ve seen this. Sergei was operating on one after he helped shutdown his former work place. We need to find key cards, and redirect power in order to get whatever main exit is the real path.”

Huggy Wuggy nods, then Neil looks towards Mommy Long Legs. “Yarnaby will be around soon, and we can’t let him slow us down or stop this progress. You think you can keep him occupied?”

Mommy Long Legs grabs a damaged generator, and she throws it to the nearby ventilation shaft, and they can hear Yarnaby banging and trying to get through. “Oh, Mommy can handle that big mane of yarn! Leave it to Marie Mommy Long Legs Payne Spellman!”

She then leaps to the ceiling, and she stalks the area searching for places that Yarnaby might show up.

Neil and Huggy, and Catnip are so confused by what she said. “I don’t think I ever agreed to her name being that.” They all split up, though Catnip goes with Neil and they head off to redirect power, open some gates, and find key cards and try to get out of this place.

But they may have made some mistakes, accidentally getting Yarnaby in the area, forcing Mommy Long Legs to taunt him to follow her, and thankfully he cannot climb or leap that high, and this gives Neil and Huggy the chance they need to finish this, while Yarnaby is occupied.

They all work together, and make sure they can get out and avoid the clutches of the hungry Yarnaby.

They keep going through halls, through different areas, and they even have to turn on the main power by using the hand scanner, and this just makes way too much noise, and this also causes Mommy Long Legs to try and get Yarnaby’s attention.

But then Huggy stops and he notices this large box, sitting near a slightly open door, and he is confused by it and it looks familiar, but then he hears Yarnaby coming, and so he makes a run for it to another area to get the power running.

Yarnaby does walk by, but he hears a tapping sound and goes to the nearby vent, and then this random box moves a bit and blocks the vent keeping Yarnaby from going here, and two eyes peek from the box, and see Mommy Long Legs walk by.

This while thing is now lasting longer than usual, and all because there are way too many different puzzles when trying to send out the power, and they even have to find a lever to get one of the systems online, and they also encounter these fliers, which are propaganda back then when the toys all went to war down here.

But then, they reach the final console, and the gate nearby is open, and needs a red and blue hand. Neil and Huggy use their Grabpacks, and they scan them on the gate and it opens. “Yes!” yelled Neil, but then he covers his mouth, he just had to yell!

But then they turn around and see Yarnaby leaping towards them, only to be blocked by the doors closing. They all sigh in relief, and are glad it’s over, but then the doors are slowly opening, and they see Yarnaby trying to break through.

“Are you kidding me?!” They all make a run for it, to escape this killer Toy made of yarn. While running, there is this weird, and yet scary theme song, and they realize it’s coming from Yarnaby, his music box is broken and now it’s chase music.

Neil then screams. “Why did this become Dead by Daylight?!”

They run through the halls, and they turn around and see Yarnaby still chasing them and they reach a room, where the fire is made, the boiler room, or furnace room. They all head for the stairs, but then Neil trips and he turns around and sees Yarnaby coming.

Huggy Wuggy and Mommy Long Legs go to save him, but Yarnaby pounces onto Neil and he screams. “Quinn Navidson, stop!” Yarnaby lands onto Neil, and then backs off. His claws retracted before he landed, and he sits and looks confused.

This surprises them, and then Neil asks. “Quinn?” This makes Yarnaby react, and he makes some small barking sounds, and he goes closer, and Neil touches his face, and rubs his head. He then grabs two sandwiches from his backpack, and he opens them and hands them to Yarnaby/

Yarnaby smells the sandwiches, his eyes go wide, and he starts to eat them, and then Neil has a water bottle, which Yarnaby opens, and he rubs his head, and pours some water into the disturbing mouth og the toy, and this makes Yarnaby satisfied.

Yarnaby then leaps onto Neil and licks him, making Neil laugh. “Okay, okay. I lobe ya too, you big yarny lion!”

Huggy, Mommy Long Legs and Catnip sigh in relief, and are happy it worked out, and now Yarnaby is on their side. Neil gets up and he hugs Yarnaby again. “It’s alright, Quinn. You’re coming with us, and I’m sorry you had to suffer through the Doctor, but I promise it’ll never ever happen again and—”

Neil looks to the yarny fur of Yarnaby. “You also need a bad when we get back, dang you have dust on ya.” This makes the others chuckle, and then Huggy sees a chain, he pulls it, and a sturdy steel catwalk is revealed for them to cross away from the fire.

This scares Yarnaby, and so he carries him over his back, and this surprises the others. “What? Basic training in the army, to carry heavy loads, and I did exactly that. Let’s get going.” They all cross the bridge, and away from the furnace.

Yarnaby is let down and he goes to Huggy and so he hugs him. “Glad you changed another toy. You seem to have a habit of doing such, father” replied Mommy Long Legs.

“It worked with the others, and it worked again. Now we have another toy coming home with us.” Neil rubs the head of Yarnaby. “How about we all go and say hello and die to the Doctor?” Yarnaby nods, and he growls, he’s ready to help them kill the Doctor, once and for all.

They use the blue hand to scan a gate, and enter a large room, and they see a pod which they can use to go down, but then it breaks and moves down there already. “Well, that sucks. But then again, we could slide down there.”

They all agree, and so Neil goes first, followed by Huggy with Catnip, Yarnaby and Mommy Long Legs. The group make it to the bottom, and they feel kinda dizzy from the fast travel. It was way faster than going down the slide, and then they see the wrecked pod.

Neil looks around. “We need to find the pathway to the labs, and then we’ll take down the Doctor and get that Omni-Hand.” They don’t notice the VHS Tape, which has something to do with an incident from Safe Haven, with Hoppy Hopscotch and several other Toys.

They make their way through some halls, and then they encounter, Doey down here, and checking something. He turns around and sees them and smiles. “Oh, you guys made it and… No way, you got Yarnaby to change!”

Yarnaby goes over and sniffs Doey, and so he pets him, but he backs off because his clay body might get stuck to his yarn. “All I had to do was call out his name and he calmed down and we became friends. Though, he will need a bath when we get back home.”

This makes Doey and the others chuckle, and then he speaks. “I could only guess, you guys haven’t encountered the Doctor lately, huh?”

“We haven’t” replied Mommy Long Legs.

This makes Doey sigh. “Alright then. So, your brother is still fixing the generator, and I have to bring him some parts. We already diverted the Nightmare Critters away, but we don’t know for how long. Your other friend and Catnap are keeping guard. Now, the parts hare can be—”

But then the pipe triggers, and cold air is released, it’s Liquid Nitrogen, and it freezes Doey, and this shocks them. “Doey!”

Mommy Long Legs sees the valve handle, and she turns it, and the cold air is turned off. Huggy and Yarnaby races over and hug Doey, and this helps keep him warm, and he thaws out fast, and is in pain. “Easy big guy, easy. Doey rest up and take your time to catch yourself back.”

Doey groans, and he sighs, and nods. “Y-Yeah… But be c-careful… Traps… D-Doctor hurts… So much… Traps.”

“We know, and we got this.” Neil gets up, and he looks to Catnip. “This might be hard to ask, but can you stay with Doey and help him if he encounters this again?” Catnip nods, he does hug Neil’s head, and then he checks on Doey and keeps him company.

The group make their way through these cavern halls, but they do hear Doey talk to himself. “It’s okay, you’re okay, it’s all okay…” Neil feels bad for Doey, he’s also talking to the others in his head, the others who are part of him. This concerns Neil, and he recalls what the others said about Doey, about being a little unstable.

They enter another room, and it looks like a dead end and then the camera nearby moves, and the Doctor is heard, but Neil doesn’t turn around to face him.

“You wretched little thing. You took my Yarnaby, and now you think you can just come waltzing in to get to me? How pathetic you are, and yet very interesting. A tactic used, before when you changed the others when you showed up here many, many days ago.”

“But no matter, you have no idea what you’re getting yourself into, and judging by the lack of companions, you have found Safe Haven and attempting to help them leave. How amusing, it’s comical at it’s best. You are by far truly an impressive specimen.”

But Neil ignores him, and so they help him get to the top ledge, and they cross the catwalks, and see the pipes, which have cold air, Liquid nitrogen. “We have to be careful kids. That stuff is still dangerous.” Neil looks to Mommy Long Legs. “Can you handle this cold place?”

“Father, I was stuck in the Game Station for thirty years, and it gets cold a lot. This won’t be a problem for me, except heat is my main issue.” They continue through the catwalk, and reach a room filled with pipes that have liquid nitrogen.

They shut down the pipes with loose cold air, and find a key card and use it to get out of there. Neil does rub his hands, and this is noticed by the others, it’s getting cold for him. They then scale up a pathway, and make it to another room, and it looks like a lab.

“Guys, is this where we need to be, or another area close to where the Doctor is?” asked Neil. Huggy checks the map and shows it to him. “Looks like we’re almost there, we just have to get… Wait, organ located in the room? What?”

They see Yarnaby look at another room, and they see through the window, are a pair of lungs inside of a glass container with wires connecting somewhere, and they are shocked. Neil then realizes. “Wait, wait… The Doctor. Harley Sawyer, they… Good god. They tore him apart, and… Okay, I know what we have to do!”

Neil uses the blue hand to open the door, but then cold air is released, and this freezes the blue hand to the scanner, and the room is slowly getting filled with cold air. Then the Doctor speaks to them.

“I’m sure you’re aware of the truth, of the Hour of Joy and the many people slaughtered in the wake of revenge. All the experiments did they part, and under the guide and manipulation from the Prototype, but also from me.”

They all look for a way to stop the cold air from spreading. Huggy sees a console, and he uses his Grabpack to scan the blue hand to shut down the cold air.

“Did you know that Poppy knew the Hour of Joy would start?” They all remain silent, and thankfully the cold air is gone, and the door is now open. “That’s right. She knew it would begin, and she did nothing to stop the carnage. She didn’t even bother to warn anyone, all she wanted… Was for the bad men to be gone and she got her wish.”

“A shame, that it led to the massacre of every man, woman and child on that day, the guilty and innocent all fall down, and perish in the hands of their own creations. I do wonder, what did it feel like when you experienced the Hour of Joy from the Prototype?”

Neil grabs the chair, and he throws it to the camera breaking it, he pulls out his pistols and shoots the other cameras. “Getting tired of hearing his voice.”

Huggy then grabs a plug, which is also a pipe from the console, and he hands it to Neil, and he can see where this is going, this pipe is filled with liquid nitrogen, and he goes to the large power generator, which contains the lungs of the Doctor.

Neil plugs it in, and the lungs freeze and break, and they hear the angry groaning from the Doctor. “Doesn’t feel so good does it? Got cold breath? Well then get some anti-freeze!” They walk away from this, but Yarnaby does grab a large crate, and he throws it onto the power generator doing more damage.

They leave the area, and they hear the voice of the Doctor once again. “Do you even know what you’re doing? Do you even know what you’re trying to accomplish here? You don’t even know the consequences for even stepping back into this Hell.”

They all ignore the Doctor, but Yarnaby growls. He really wants to kill the Doctor, and they enter another lab, and the decayed remains of an employee is here, and with a gas mask. “Wish we could take it, but we have our own.”

It is true, Neil has a gas mask, and same with Mommy Long Legs and Huggy Wuggy, and custom made for them, but then Neil realizes something. “I think… There’s red smoke down here.” This alarms them and also scares Yarnaby.

Huggy takes the note, and he keeps it inside of Neil’s backpack, and they wander around and check out this lab. Neil does ask. “Are you kids alright?”

Huggy nods, and same with Yarnaby and Mommy Long Legs. “Things might be a little scary down here, but we can manage. What maters is that we find out where that Doctor is hiding, and get rid of him.”

Neil sees this computer, and it needs a five-digit code, and he sees five monitors and he realizes what this might mean. “Kids, we’re going to need the gas masks. We’re going to have to find some answers on how to get out of here, by going through the halls filled with Red Smoke.”

This alarms Huggy Wuggy and Mommy Long Legs, but they understand and ready their gas masks, but Yarnaby looks scared and so Neil rubs his mane or yarn. “Calm down, Quinn. Look, stay here and wait for us, alright?” Yarnaby nods, and licks his face, making him chuckle.

They see some oxygen tanks, and so they take it with them and attach them to their gas masks, and they brave through the halls, to look for any clues on how they can solve the five digit code, leaving Yarnaby to watch over for any threats.

But as they all walk through, Neil starts to hear voices of children and staff talking, and he realizes that the Red Smoke effect from Playcare back then is affecting his mind, but he shakes it off and continues. They manage to find the dead Children Experiments, and write down the numbers meant for the code.

They just press on, and with oxygen still remaining, they just brave on through to find the rest of the numbers for the code, and Neil keeps hearing more voices, even one of Stella Greyber, and Ritterman. He does his best to calm down, and they keep on going.

But then they hear the voice, of the Doctor once again. “Why do you submit to their whims? Playtime hurt us. My experiments hurt us. Do you think you can save everyone here? Do you really think you can stop what I am trying to do? Do you even realize what I am trying to do?!”

They then spot one of the organs of Sawyer, and they need to get in there and destroy it.

“Poppy on the other hand, it seemed like you trusted her back then, and it has now failed. Yet you try so hard to finish what she could not. The only difference between her and I. The ONLY Different, is that I fight for actually gains humanity something.”

Neil stops and looks to the camera.

“Otherwise, what was any of this worth? Would you simply make all that sacrifice meaningless?”

They then ignore the Doctor, and they just keep on continuing down the halls, and then they keep going and checking each toy body which has the code number they need to find the way to the Doctor.

But, Neil finds a VHS Tape, and they head back to the main lab room, and he puts the Tape into the VCR, and what they will her is going to be surprising.

Dr. White: "It looks like he's waking up."

The Doctor: "Where am I? What... what is this? Oh no... They didn't. Those backstabbing traitors."

Dr. White: "Dr. Sawyer? Can you hear me?"

The Doctor: "White?! White is that you?! Who else is in there with you? You enjoy watching me writhe like one of them?" The Doctor groans. "My head, feels like it's splitting in two. This is wrong, you must have done something wrong.

Dr. White: "Some disorientation is to be expected, it'll-"

The Doctor: "Who gave you the order? You spineless cowards, after all I've done for this project, for this company..."

Leith Pierre: "I gave the order, Sawyer."

The Doctor: "Leith Pierre, of course, it'd be you. You have no idea what kind of mistake you've just made."

Leith Pierre: "Really? From where I'm sitting, you're the one who keeps making mistakes that need fixing. We gave you so many opportunities to clean up your own messes, but you just couldn't do it, could you?"

The Doctor: "What? You think you could do better? Nobody else can do what I do! You need my knowledge- my intellect!

Leith Pierre: "Why do you think you're sitting in there right now, and not in Boxy's stomach? Let me tell you how this is gonna go, Sawyer. From now on, you're here to give the lab boys answers when they need them, and carry out procedures when and how we tell you to. That's it. You'll be like an open book to us whenever we want. So, fight, or give in, or whatever, because either way we own the infrastructure you're wired into."

The Doctor: "You'll die for this, Leith! When I get my hands on you, YOU'RE A DEAD MAN!"

Leith Pierre: "This temper is a bad look for you, Harley."

The tape ends, and this now makes sense to them, and they recall that other VHS Tape involving the talk between Pierre, Greyber, and Ritterman. Neil takes the VHS Tape, and he keeps it inside of his backpack.

“I should feel sorry, but I don’t. I’d rather see the Doctor dead, and these kids free from this damned factory. Let’s keep moving.”

They keep on going, searching and they finally find the last two number clues, which is what they need for the code. They reach back to the main lab, and Neil takes his gas mask off, and he coughs and leans onto the wall.

This alarms the three toys and they go to check on him. “Are you alright?” asked Mommy Long Legs.

Neil sighs. “I guess I have… PTSD, when confronting the Red Smoke… Also, that Red Smoke we went through, was not ordinary Red Smoke, and it didn’t affect you guys, but I think it left an imprint onto me.”

This alarms Huggy and Mommy Long Legs, the same Red Chemicals that was injected into Neil to make him feel the Hour of Joy. Neil sighs, and he drinks a bottle of water. “When we were searching… I heard the voices, of the kids… And the staff, and… God, I hate those people.”

Neil stands up straight, and he looks fine. “Alright, let’s get this code in, and then find a way to the Doctor. We also need to search for his organs, and break them.”

They head to the computer, and Neil types in the code, but it opened something else, and they hear the gate opening. They all head upstairs, and the room where the Doctor’s organ is kept is now revealed, and then Huggy grabs the cord from the wall, and he brings it to Neil.

“Thanks buddy.” Neil goes towards the organ of the doctor, and the machine attached to it and keeping him alive. But here’s the thing, this cord doesn’t make icy gas, it gives off a powerful electric shock, setting the brain on fire.

They can hear the Doctor groan in pain. “And now he has a headache. I hope you’re ready for the migraine, Doc.” Seeing Neil motivated, and ready for the fight makes them smile, and they follow him.

They head to the exit and down the stairs, but then Yarnaby leaps and attacks a hidden Mini Touille, and he rips it apart. “Whoa. Thanks Quinn. That was way too close.”

They scale a catwalk, and then jump and swing around the ledges, and they look down and see No Man’s land below, where there are a lot of abandoned construction vehicles, which means this place was supposed to be expanded by the Construction Company.

They enter what looks like a loading bay, and they see this water with electricity, and it’s an obvious trap. Mommy Long Legs helps them all get across, and they see they’re at another observation lab, Yarnaby turns around and shrieks, and they all turn around but it’s too late.

Two mechanical arms push them down to the observation area, where the experiments are observed. They then hear the Doctor laugh.

“You are all such pathetic, small and insignificant specks to me. Did you really think Yarnaby was my only pet? Let’s see how fear, and pain, and suffering account into this next experiment.”

The gates open and they see a Bigger Body show up, a Bigger Body from the Nightmare Critters, Baba Chops. The Black sheep charges at them, and leaps. But Neil ducks down and Yarnaby tries to attack, but he stops and smells something weird.

Huggy also smells something and he shrieks, and Mommy Long Legs knows what this means. “That thing is venomous?!”

“What?!” Neil ducks and avoids the bite from Baba Chops, and Yarnaby climbs onto the cages to avoid this. Neil then starts running, and so does Huggy, while Mommy Long Legs grabs the sheep by her hair, and then tosses her away.

Neil then has an idea. “I got an idea. Split up, and I’ll give the signal.” They all nod, and head off. Yarnaby lands onto Baba Chops and then runs, and the sheep chases after him.

But then a blue hand slaps her on the face, and she sees Huggy and so she chases him down. She leaps to attack, but she is hit at the back of the head, by Neil who stands there ready. “Come and get some, Sheep! Come at me!”

Baba Chops bleats and shrieks, and she leaps towards Neil, ready to sink her venomous mouth into his skin, but then he yells. “Game Time!” She’s struck by a steel barred door, and then she’s tossed into one of the cages and the gate is closed.

Baba Chops tries to get out, but it doesn’t work, and then Mommy Long Legs shows up, she was the one who tossed her in there. “Now be a good little sheep, and stay in your little pen.” This angers Baba Chops, and she tries to break the cage.

Neil sighs. “Why the heck would the sheep be the poisonous one? I thought the Poison Dart Frog would be the one.” He then notices, Huggy has been rerouting power, to get the gate open. “Huh, nice one buddy.” While they were all running, Huggy was grabbing batteries, and power source, and connecting them together.

Yarnaby chuckles seeing Baba Chops locked away, and so they all take their leave.

But Neil does go back, and he sees the sheep has stopped fighting, and so he leaves two sandwiches, and a thermos filled with chocolate milk for her, and this confuses Baba Chops. “Seems like you need this, sorry little fella. But, we gotta get going.”

Neil takes his leave, and so Baba Chops picks up the sandwiches, and she eats them and when she drinks the hot chocolate, she is amazed and she looks to the gate where they left, and she thinks about what that man did for her.

They soon make it into a room, and are shocked by what they see, and the Doctor speaks to them.

“Do you believe that you’re taking the moral high road coming here to save the toys from Safe Haven? Is that what you think will work to diminish your thoughts and guilty conscience?”

They see a machine, and a mini Simon Smoke is in the glass, and there are cables and wires connected, and this machine needs an outlet cord to power the gate, but seeing how this works, it might kill the toy inside.

“Dear friend, let me lecture you on the honest truth. Survival necessitates choices. Difficult choices… This one is yours. If you all wish to leave this room, it will come at a cost. It’s this little life, or yours. You know what to do. Just the slightest pull, and you snuff whatever miniscule bit of light still flickers behind those faraway eyes.”

“Let’s be real here, that brutish glob of clay would do it. Poppy would do it. It’s your mission. The door will open or would you rather spare this life and see it as an important thing? Act quickly now.”

Neil doesn’t seem fazed, and he speaks. “First off, I know these aren’t kids.”

“What?”

“When I went through some computers at the lab, I found some logs about the Nightmare mini Critters, and that all of them are made from the remains of the people who died, and that the orphans you took from the Prototype were all tested and used for the Bigger Ones and many never made it through.”

“So…” Neil gets the cord, and is about to plug it in, but the Simon Smoke mini breaks free, and goes for him, but Yarnaby grabs the mini nightmare critter and he devours it. Neil puts the plug in, and the door opens. “You are such an idiot, Sawyer. No wonder why Leith Pierre and the others wanted you put into a computer.”

They see the door open, and the Doctor speaks.

“Well, isn’t this just exciting. You have gone through these lengths to see me. Well then, come now. Let us see which of us beasts of destiny is truly above the rest.”

Neil is confused. “What destiny are you talking about? Jeez, you are a lunatic mad scientist crackpot doctor maniac whacky quack man, with an unhinged and expired Ph.D. in retard school, and broken-down dead-beat childhood that feels like it got shoved under a toilet, lockers and through mental and physical abuse.”

They remain silent hearing that back talk, and this angers the Doctor.

They see a lift, and they take it. “Alright, when we get there, we have to be careful for whatever the heck could be waiting. The Doctor might have a trap ready for us, we need to fight off whatever he has in store. You kids ready for this thing?”

Mommy Long Legs nods. “Mommy will tear his trap apart, and then the Doctor himself.”

Yarnaby roars, and he scratches his claws onto the ground, then Huggy embraces Neil, and so he hugs him back and soon Mommy Long Legs and Yarnaby join them.

The lift stops and the doors open, and they enter a lab, and then get another door open, leading to another lift, and they all ride it. Hearing the voice of the Doctor once again.

“Do you hear it... like I do? Off somewhere. Somewhere... far. Beyond this place. Beyond any place. A bell. For whom does it toll, you think? A wounded little pup lifts its head beneath the shadow of the master's raised foot. For whom does that bell now toll?”

The Doctor chuckles, but this angers the others. Neil looks up, and soon the lift stops.

They walk through this hallway of monitors, but they all turn dark. They look around and stay cautious, and Neil recalls he still has the guns from before, and he’s ready to unload when they face something.

The screens turn on, and the door ahead opens, and then they see him, attached to wires, monitors, machines, generators, and a single computer at the bottom, The Doctor, Harley Sawyer!

“Not even the ground beneath your feet.”

The gate behind them closes, and they are shocked to see, this animatronic endo with a TV screen for a head and torn white lab coat, and has a red eye on the screen, the spare bodies of the Doctor have awakened. The body waves to them, and the floor below opens and they all fall down.

Yarnaby lands on his feet, and same with Mommy Long Legs and she grabs Neil and Huggy, and then puts them down. They turn on their flashlights and see some empty battery outlets, and this means they have to power this place up in order to get back up there.

Neil is now pissed off. “Oh, so this is how we’re going to play you smart ass son of a bitch? Okay, game on Doc! You’re going to die when I get my hands on you! That’s what you said to Leith Pierre!” He sees the others are silent. “Sorry for the cursing kids, but this bastard deserved it.”

Huggy grabs a battery and he plugs it in, this opens one of the doors, and they go through and see the lifeless spare bodies of the Doctor, and this doesn’t scare Neil, he pulls out the M16 Assault Rifle, and he fires one bullet to destroy it.

“Oh Doctor. If I am a germ, then perhaps this germ should evolve into a Virus! Ever heard of the Video Game, Plague Inc?” He then sees some more lifeless animatronic screen bodies, and he shoots each one, and they can hear the Doctor is furious, he didn’t think Neil had guns with him!

They manage to make it through and find a room with a battery, and Neil reloads his gun, and they leave the area with the battery, and with no obstacles in the way. They plug it in, and another door opens, and they can see more lifeless animatronic bodies.

Neil hands Mommy Long Legs a grenade. “Got for it, pull the pin and throw.”

Mommy Long Legs laughs, and she pulls the pin, and she throws the grenade, it blows up destroying several bodies, and she claps. “That was fun! Looks like those weapons being brought along was useful. Are you going to apologize to Mr. Sharp for saying it’s too much?”

Neil remains silent, and then he chuckles. “Nah.” They make their way, and Neil shoots each Sawyer body, and they grab another battery, and this keeps repeating again.

The Doctor watches this from the animatronic bodies he’s using, and it seems his plans are now unfolding, and breaking. Neil has taken command and control of this situation, and is just destroying his backup and spare bodies.

“You bastard! You heathen! This was not supposed to happen! You are supposed to be dead!”

Neil laughs. “And you’re supposed to be smart? Didn’t you anticipate our return back to Playtime? Or are you flat faced and stuck in your own gadgets?” The others laugh hearing this, the Doctor is ticked off, and Neil is on a killing spree.

Huggy does help kill the wounded and damaged Sawyer bodies, and even Mommy Long Legs and Yarnaby tear apart these things.

They soon power all the outlets, and then follow the glowing blue wire, another Sawyer body comes to attack, but Neil grabs the arms, and he knocks it to the ground for Huggy to dismantle. Another one shows up and he ducks for Yarnaby to rip apart.

Neil spots another one coming for him, but he sidesteps it and makes it trip, and then Mommy Long Legs smashes it to pieces. Another one arrives, but Neil shoots both arms with his pistol, and then the legs, and he has the screen face him.

“Remember who I am. My name is Neil Spellman, and I’m the guy whose gonna put you out of your stupid misery, Doctor Harley Sawyer.” He shoots the screen, and then he lifts the dead robot body, and throws it to the others, and then shoots them on the screen head.

They make it up the stairs, and see more of these robotic bodies coming, but this annoys Neil and he pulls out the M1 Garand Rifle, and he goes to one knee and aims, and he shoots each one with ease, and they’re all destroyed.

“So, was that it?” They head to the computer, and see the Doctor trying to get more to show up. But Neil pushes one of the keys and this causes a System Overload.

“You will not stop me heathen! You think you can just come in here and ruin everything I have worked hard to make?! What kind of germ are you to even do this to someone who is far above you?!”

“I’m not a germ.” Neil then has an idea on what to say, and he pulls out his gun. “I. Am. The Estranged Angel of Playtime!” This angers the Doctor, and his face is revealed onto the small screen above, and the gun is pointed at him, and Neil holds onto the chip sticking out from the console.

“Any last words?” The Doctor is about to speak, but he shoots the screen several times, and then he pulls the chip off. This causes a massive electrical shockwave within the room, and the Doctor screams in agony and pain, and his robot bodies who show up shut down and the room goes dark.

But some remnants of his voice speak. “You… Saved… No one…” Then he goes offline.

“That’s where you’re wrong, Sawyer.” Neil tosses a grenade to the computer, and it blows up destroying the last remnants of the Doctor’s original form. “And the Doctor is lights out, for good!”

They hear a door open, and so they go check it out, and they see the doors above are now open, and they enter a room with a computer, and Neil puts the chip inside, and the glass container next it reveals, the Omni-Hand.

This surprises them, and Neil takes it and attaches it to the Grabpack. “Huh, feels like the Red Hand, but with more wires and… Why does something like this need this many wires and random junk?”

They head upstairs, and Neil opens the door, and they are back in the hallway filled with screens who are now dark. They make their way back to Safe Haven now that they have the Omni-hand, and then Mommy Long Legs speaks.

“I… I can’t believe it. It’s… It’s all over, he’s gone… After all this time, the man who made us, who hurt us, tore us apart, and made us into, what we are now… He’s dead, and all because…” They all look to Neil. “You.”

Neil smiles, and he looks at all of them. “They’re all free. The Doctor is gone, and we have the Omni-Hand. This is justice for those who have been tormented and killed, those who lost their lives, and their childhood and who they are. The wretched monster who hurt you all, is no more.”

This makes them have tears, and they go over and embrace Neill and even he has tears and hugs them back. They’re happy that this is all over, that Doctor Harley Sawyer is gone, and never ever coming back to torment their lives, and they can’t wait to tell the others in Safe Haven the good news.

They depart from the hug, and they take the lift, and then go back down to head back to Safe Haven.

But they don’t notice, one of the TV screens glitch, and an eye slowly appears, and then glitches and disappears, and with a slight groaning…

To be continued…

Chapter 32: The Fall of Safe Haven

Chapter Text

Time to head back and tell everyone… The Good… News… Oh no… I hope you all enjoy reading this new one guys.
Saving Playtime.
“The Fall of Safe Haven.”

A cable car slowly makes it, and the group walk out and all make their way back to Safe Haven. Neil, Huggy Wuggy, Mommy Long Legs and Yarnaby.

They all feel kinda tired, and they continue to make their way back to Safe Haven. Then Mommy Long Legs speaks. “So, when we get there, we have to get this Omni-Hand to access the secret lift, and then help the others escape, right?”

Neil nods. “Yeah, pretty much. We’re all getting outta here, we have to meet with the others and speak to Doey. Chances we’re going to be having a hard talk with Poppy as well. Chances, she’ll still argue with us on killing the Prototype.”

“Still, I don’t even know if she should come along with us… I just… I still hate her…” They know what he means, but Yarnaby doesn’t know. “She’s just… She doesn’t understand, and she should… She has to speak to her father, and clear the air between them. Maybe, they can settle it down, and—”

They then hear the phone ring, and Neil picks it up. “Hello Ollie Bollie!”

“Ummm, okay. Well that was an awkward nickname. Also, I know that you finished off the Doctor. His loyal servants have fled and the Prototype will scout the labs and prisons, and see if there are other stuff he hid, something to help you and the others. Get back to Safe Haven, and get those toys out of there.”

Neil smirks, and he hears another call on the line. Peter Sharp.

“Hey Spellman, we just saw the Nightmare Bigger Body critters have fled, we’re headed back and… Hang on, why does my backpack feel… What the fuck?! My explosives, they’re all gone?! How?!”

“POPPY! SHE DID THIS! SHE TOOK THEM! ANGEL, EVERYONE! GET BACK TO SAFE HAVEN NOW!”

The phone line cuts, and this alarms them. “We have to get back there now!” yelled Neil. They make it through more hallways, they run across catwalks, and even race past a sleeping Mini nightmare critter, and they soon arrive to some familiar knocked over shelves, and they see the door is slightly open.

They see Scout is peeking through and she sees them. “Oh, it’s them. Come on inside, hurry!”

They make it inside, and she shuts the door, but Huggy stops her and Mommy Long Legs explains. “There’s no need for that little one. The Doctor is dead.” The other toys stop what they’re doing, and they all look to them, and then they cheer.

Sergei comes out and is shocked to hear this, but Leon is still in the infirmary, tending to more hurt toys, well he finished that. So, he’s busy with some surgery, and doesn’t want to be bothered.

All the toys looks to Neil and they cheer and praise him and seeing the Omni-Hand also is proof enough that he did kill the Doctor, but he looks around and doesn’t have time to listen to their cheering. “Has anyone seen Poppy Playtime?! Anyone at all?!”

One of the Bubba’s raises her hand. “I saw her. She was carrying a satchel and it looked heavy, and I swear I heard her whispering about the sewers.”

This surprises them. “Everyone go and wait by the pathway to the Secret Lift! Pack you’re things and prepare to leave!” This surprises them and even Sergei. Peter and Catnap show up, but then Neil runs off. “I got a doll to deal with!”

Neil races by some more toys and leaps over them, and he even dashes right by the Infirmary and doesn’t even bother to notice DogDay who is hugging Crafty, and he feels like he should follow him. “Angel?” Crafty looks around, still with no eyes.

Neil sees some more Boogie Bots, the one named Izzy. “I heard you’re looking for Poppy. Take the path over there.” Neil does so, and he reaches the sewers, and he goes underground, and he has to find where Poppy Playtime had fled.

But, Neil took the wrong turn, and he’s not in the sewers, and so he goes deeper into some hallways again, and some rooms, but on his way, he does spot some VHS Tapes, and he runs and grabs them and will watch them when he has the time.

He’s unaware, the VHS Tape is about Doey the Doughman, well he finds several VHS Tapes involving Doey the Doughman.

He makes it to the main sewage treatment plant, and he sees the cogs have all been put in place, and now everything is working in good motion again. But this is a bad sign, last time he was here there were no gears put in place. This is a clear sign that Poppy was here.

Neil then makes it into the main sewer path again, and he passes by even more dead bodies of the Nightmare Critter minis and this means this was the work of Catnap and Peter Sharp, and he soon arrives to the path that leads him into the caves.

He doesn’t even notice, another door which leads to another cave area, which has something to do with the Red Smoke.

Neil looks around, and he sees the Two Barry Carts still there, and then he calls out. “Poppy Playtime! Where are you—Whoa!”

He encounters Doey the Doughman with Catnip on his shoulder and he leaps onto Neil’s head, and hugs him. “Whoa, easy there pal. Are you alright? Wait, you have the Omni-Hand! This means… You did it, you got rid of him! The big mean Doctor is gone!”

“We don’t have time Doey, we have to find Poppy now!”

“What?! But why?” Then Doey realizes what’s going on. “What did she do?”

“She took the demolitions and explosives from Peter Sharp’s bag, and I noticed some mine charges I saw earlier are now missing! She’s rigged the Caves and everything to blow! The Prototype is in the labs and looking for any traces of Sawyer’s creations, and deal with them so we can get out! We have to stop her!”

Doey is shocked, and he adjusts his hat. “Then let’s go and find her!” The duo run deep into the caves, and try to look for her, but then he asks. “Neil, I have to ask. Are the others at Safe Haven aware?”

“I told them to go and wait by the access door of the Secret Lift. Right now, as we speak they’re all packing up all essentials and stuff they want to bring along. Let’s just focus on—” Then they see someone small running towards them. “Poppy?! What the heck—”

“I didn’t mean to!” yelled Poppy, and she looks scared. “I was, I was trying to place everything, but… Something… Something else attacked me! It wasn’t the Prototype, but it took all the explosives, and… We have to get out of here, now—”

Then the whole area shakes, and they can hear multiple explosions, and the phone rings and they hear several voices.

“Neil, this is Ollie! Something’s clearly wrong, the Prototype is now in the labs and searching for something the remains of Sawyer, but then—” The line is cut, following the sounds of explosions.

“This is Sharp, we’re close to finished packing and… Wait, what’s that sound?” The sound of collapsing debris and screams are heard. “Everyone run—”

This shocks them, Neil has tears. “No. No, no, no, no! No! No! Back to Safe Haven now!” Doey is also panicking, but he grabs Neil and they leap over the cliffs, and head back, Poppy enters a vent, to get there fast and see what has happened.

They race back into the sewers and they have to take a different route because there is debris blocking the way, and then they race into the sewage treatment plant, and the place is now wrecked, and there is fire at some areas.

They reach more deep into the main hallway. They see it’s also been damaged and wrecked, and the lift is also broken, and so they leap down and make it into the Infirmary, but they see… Rocks, debris and dead Toys are now everywhere!

Doey is horrified, and so is Neil. “No… No, no! We have to find them all!” Neil sees, the dead toys, are the ones who recovered from their medical treatment from Leon.

But then the closet door moves, and so they move the rocks away, and coming out are Leon with Bobby Bearhug, Kissy Missy, Miss Delight, DogDay with CraftyCorn, and Scout Bot. “You’re all alive!”

“We are, the rocks started falling and I pushed the closest toys into the closet with me” replied Leon, and they all look around at the dead toys. “W-What the fucking hell?! What the hell is going on here?!” All the toys he treated, are now dead.

Miss Delight is shocked seeing this. “Who did this?! Why were there explosion sounds?!”

Bobby Bearhug moves away, and she’s walking and moving again. “N-No… No, everyone.” She starts to sob, and though Neil and Doey should be surprised to see Bobby working again, they don’t have time for this. They all race into the main lobby of Safe Haven, and they’re hearts sink at what they see.

The Toys, the Toys of Safe Haven… The survivors from Safe Haven… Are dead. Tents wrecked, small shops destroyed, and the main gates are now damaged. Doey walks away from them, to look for survivors from this madness. Neil and the others also join them.

They then hear movement and shrieking, and so Kissy and DogDay start digging through the debris, and then Neil helps them, and they remove the rocks and debris, and they see Huggy Wuggy, and Yarnaby. They get them out of there, and they have some small cuts, and are a little dusty.

“I’m glad you guys are fine!” Neil hugs them, but the two look around and see the destruction left behind.

Then Leon calls out. “Guys, over here!” They race to where he is, and he moves aside some rocks, and they see more rocks are pushed away, and several figures emerge, and they help them out. Sergei, Peter Sharp, Catnap, and Mommy Long Legs.

“Father!” She goes over, and hugs him, and same with Catnap.

Neil has tears and he hugs them, his kids are still alive, and he sees the bruises and cuts on their body, but what matters is that they’re alive and alright. Peter then speaks and he coughs. “As soon as the ceiling started to collapse, I did my best to save… What I could… Oh no.”

They all look around, and see all the Dead Toys. “What the hell happened?!” yelled Sergei.

“POPPY. SHE DID THIS! SHE KILLED THEM ALL!”

 Peter kneels down, in front of a dead Hoppy and Bubba. “We were supposed to leave, all of us. We were supposed to leave using the lift, and get out of this factory! What the hell just happened?! Why would she do this?!”

Sergei checks on Scout, who is now mourning because the other bot named Izzy is now dead. Sergei looks to the others. “This was not supposed to happen? Why did this go wrong?! What was she gaining from killing them all?!”

Neil looks around, seeing all the dead toys, this horrifies him and he screams and has tears. The others know what he’s feeling, because this is a horrific reminder of what happened when they crashed into Playcare, and the death of the Game Station Toys.

Catnap recalls that, and he goes over and hugs Neil, and he returns the embrace. But Catnap does see Poppy, at the vents and she looks horrified by what she sees. Catnap growls, and then the vent breaks and Poppy is grabbed, by Mommy Long Legs.

“And look who we have here! You little brat! This is all your—” But then they hear more crying, and they go to see who it is, and it’s none other than Doey the Doughman.

Doey is looking down, on the remains of the Dead Toys, and he sees them hugging each other, they died in each other’s embrace. Neil now sees, that the plans to save the Toys in Safe Haven, has turned awry, and now many have perished.

"I'm sorry... I'm so, SO sorry. I failed you. I was never what any of you needed. I was only made to hurt things. My fault. my fault... Hurt.” Then Doey stops sobbing, and he looks to Neil Spellman.

“Everything hurts. Hurt back. ALWAYS hurt back. Parents. Scientists. Everyone. Have to—” But then he stops and starts to cry again.

“My friends. He killed my friends!” But then he stops crying and looks to Neil in anger. “YOU... It all started with you. The day you came to the Factory! You and her. You and Poppy! You just had to bring her back here!”

“You changed everything, you bringing others here! It was you who ruined everything!”

But then he switches to calm and concern. “No, No, it's not true. They jumpstarted the generator. They...”

“Then he slaps himself in the face and becomes furious. “destroyed everything! I'LL KILL YOU!" But then the debris above is about to fall, so Neil grabs Doey and they escape the debris.

But the dust clears, and they see Neil walking out with Doey, and then Neil falls to the ground, with a dislocated right leg, and he groans in pain. “No!” They all race over to check on him.

This confuses Doey, and he backs up and sobs, and feels enraged. Leon grabs the leg, and he speaks to Neil. “So, this is going to hurt, and I swear this happened before…”

“I know! I fucking know, just do it—” Neil then screams, and Leon puts the leg back, and Neil can feel it again, and he sighs in relief. “Sweet Christopher Columbus, that hurt.” They’re all happy he’s alright, but then he looks around. “Wait, where’s Doey—” But then he looks up.

The others turn around, and they all look up. Sergei, Leon and Peter are ready to shoot, but Neil gets up and stops them, the others back away and what they see now, is the true form of Doey the Doughman.

A large, Lizard-like creature, made of clay. With four arms and four legs, and no eyes, but instead the eyes are in the mouth, and within the mouth sticking out are three clay humanoids, each one with red eyes, one is angry, one is sad and one seems neutral. He still has his hat on.

They all are horrified, this is something they have never ever seen before. Doey roars at Neil but he’s unfazed, and he yells. “STOP! STOP THIS RIGHT NOW!”

Doey is confused, but he still wants to kill. “You three, stand down now! Mathew Hallard, Kevin Barns, Jack Ayers! Stop this right now! Do not make me repeat myself!”

“Or what?! What are you going to do?! You can’t tell me what to do!”

Neil looks serious and he yells back. “Kevin, shut up! Stop this right now or so help I will put you in time out, do not test me young man!”

This shocks everyone, he’s scolding a child, well children. This makes Doey back away, and he has fear. “Please, I just… I didn’t mean to…”

But then he goes to anger. “You can’t tell me what to do! You’re not the boss of me! I’m the leader here, you can’t tell me what to do!”

“Mathew is more leaderlike than you ever could be! You’ve seen it, you’ve always seen him be the better leader and good at stopping fights, and calming others down and what do you do, Jack? You hurt others, because you have a short-fused temper. Well so did I back then!”

They all remain silent, and they look to Neil, they didn’t know that. Leon, Sergei and Peter nod, it’s true.

Neil goes closer. “Jack calm down. Look, I know how you feel right now. But this… This is something we didn’t see coming, we all didn’t see this coming. You’re angry yes, angry that you failed, and angry that everything is gone. But that was out of our hands, we had no part to play in this. We came here to help everyone, but I guess we weren’t prepared, for betrayals of small proportions.”

They all look to Poppy, and she realizes what she has done.

Doey is starting to feel enraged, but Neil touches his giant hand. “Doey, I know you’re in there, big guy.” Doey looks down at the man, who has a tired and concerned smile. “We know, that you’re doing everything you can, and you did an excellent job. I’m proud of you, for keeping it together, and—Trying to help others.”

“But let me tell you this, you didn’t need those three kids to make you into who you are now. The way I see it, you did this all on your own. You didn’t need the three personalities that made up who you once were, because that was all in the past. You are your own person, you are your own entity, your own life. You cannot let those three others take control and let them do what they want.”

They can see Doey slowly getting smaller, and the three figures in the mouth are now filled with sadness, and they seem to be crying.

“You aren’t Jack Ayers. You aren’t Kevin Barns. You aren’t Mathew Hallard. You’re Doey the Doughman, the one who led Safe Haven to peace, and safety. You have done all you could, and by far the best dang toy leader I have ever seen, and far better than Poppy ever could be. You didn’t make hard choices, you made necessary choices, that meant every life had to live, even if it meant sparing a small enemy.”

Doey then slowly turns back, and he looks sad. “Doey, it’s time to let the others go. Let the three others go, and just… Just be yourself. Don’t find who you are, because you already did that. Let them go, and let them be… At peace, at last.”

This causes Doey to shake, and vibrate, and they all back away, and they watch as Doey grows, and shrinks and each part of him expands and changes, and then he turns to his monstrous form, and he vomits out a ton of clay for some reason, and then he shrinks back to his normal form.

“Oh, my head and—Wait…” Doey looks around and looks to himself. “They’re… I don’t hear them anymore… I just… They’re gone! I’m me again! I’m me! You… You helped me, you saved me from…” Doey then sees something. “Them?”

They look to the clay he vomited, and it melts away and they all gather and see the skeletal remains, of the three boys who were used to make the Project of Doey the Doughman. Mathew Hallard. Kevin Barns and Jack Ayers.

All of them are horrified to see this, Neil goes to the remains and he sees they’re holding hands, and the clay makes some final words on the ground. “THANK YOU.” Then they watch as the skeletons melt away, just like clay.

Neil looks to Doey. “You did it buddy, you freed them. They can now rest in peace, knowing that it’s all over.”

Doey nods. “Yeah, and all thanks to you, the Estranged Angel of Playtime.” This makes the others smile, and now Doey has been changed, to who he truly is. Poppy is shocked by this, but then Doey grabs her from Mommy Long Legs, and he throws her onto some dead toys, and she backs away in fear. “Poppy… What did you do? Why did you do this?!”

“Was this still that stupid plan to kill the Prototype?!” yelled DogDay.

“The Prototype has changed, it’s Elliot Ludwig. How come you still don’t understand?!” yelled Miss Delight.

Sergei readies an armor piercing round, and Catnap wants to use the Red Smoke onto her. Neil is right behind Poppy, and he looks pissed off. “What in the hell did you do?!”

“Wait, stop please. I can explain, I was only rigging the areas that were away from Safe Haven! I didn’t put them near here. The path I used to blow up is a path the Prototype would take. I didn’t do this!”

This confuses the others, and then Neil asks. “Then if you didn’t do it… Then who the hell did?!”

“That would be me…” A voice, so familiar it sends chills down Neil’s spine, and the others back away in fear, they know that voice and are shocked.

Doey is horrified. “What? No… No, no. It can’t be! You killed him!”

“We did! Neil did and he shot him for extra measure too!” yelled Mommy Long Legs.

Catnap sees claws emerging from the ceiling. “THE DOCTOR HAS RETURNED.”

They all look up, and see the ceiling ripped apart, and right there, is a monstrous abomination made from different mechanical parts, and with several TV screens to make up for one big screen face, and a giant eye is made.

More claws appear, and more arms. “You thought it was so easy to kill me? Well, you’re dead wrong.” They all look away in fear, and some ready for a fight. “The Doctor will see you now!” The Doctor laughs evilly, for he has returned.

Chapter 33: Escaping Playtime again

Chapter Text

The Doctor is back, and they need to get the hell out of here with whoever they can save! I hope you all enjoy reading this new one guys.
Saving Playtime.
“Escaping Playtime again!”

Everyone is in full shock and horror, and they see it’s the Doctor who is back. Neil is shocked by this and he realizes something. “You knew… You knew I would kill you, and made a backup for your subconscious!”

The monster Doctor claps several hands on his body. “Very good. Good Observation. You truly are remarkable and intelligent. Far superior than anyone I have ever met, which was a long, long time ago, by the name of Dr. White.”

“You really did go full lengths and fought with you’re all to ensure my downfall. But sadly, that has failed miserably and now… It seems the time has come, for the world to face the true meaning, of an Experiment gone wrong.”

“As you see, those bodies you saw, those mechanical things, they are me, and they’re sole purpose was not just to guard me. You didn’t even know I had more in hiding, and now my army is ready to emerge, and begin the hostile takeover, of the world above!”

This shocks them, and they see some vents and doors break open, with more TV faced robotic animatronics emerge, and all of them with the eyes of the Doctor. This whole time, he planned to take over the world itself, make it into his world.

“Also, thank you Poppy. Those explosives you brought along and placed down… That was exactly what I needed. You helped damage the Prototype when he went inside the labs, and the rest… Well, thankfully I was able to find out where Safe Haven was located. Thank you, Poppy Playtime, you really are the front star of Playtime. The true face of this Factory.”

Poppy is now horrified, all the explosives she placed and took, the Doctor put them to good use.

They then see, more things coming, more smaller Nightmare Critters, and they see bigger body ones have joined and this angers DogDay, Bobby Bearhug, Catnap and Catnip, and they try to keep the still blind CraftyCorn away from this fight.

Peter then grabs his Rifle. “Alright guys, looks like this could be the end of the line. Let’s make sure this bastard gets the fight of his life, and if we still got grenades, let’s light him up and burn his ugly screen face!”

Leon, Sergei and Neil are ready. The others toys are also ready to fight, to keep fighting till the end, and Doey is ready to enter his monstrous form to fight them off, and protect his friends, his family.

Neil looks to the others, and they all smile. All of them are ready to fight, even if they have to die. They do this together, and put an end to this monster, and ensure the horrors of Playtime never ever repeat.

The Doctor on the other hand laughs. “Such Pathetic Heroic Nonsense. You are all willing to die, to ensure I never escape? Clearly, you are all misguided, and dimwitted. I will get out of here, and begin my new Plan, and you will all die—”

But then a large claw emerges from the wall, and slams the Doctor’s head to the ceiling, and then slams his face onto some of his Critters army, and then throws him to another wall, and then a creature emerges, and that creature is the Prototype, Elliot Ludwig. But he has some damages and burns.

The Doctor is shocked. “What?! But, how!? I saw you fall below—”

The Prototype punches him in the face, and then rips off one of his arms. “I’m the Prototype remember, Sawyer. I’m a strong and durable creature, you made a very strong creation to which you have failed to do so with your own form!”

The Prototype punches The Doctor again, and then slams his face to the ground, and so the three humans open fire on the Prototype and damage some of his parts, and the others fend off the critters, and the robots.

But then a large vehicle shows up, and runs them over, but this backhoe is multifunctional, and it has several arms attached to it, its one of the construction vehicles, made long ago, it has a backhoe, saws and a crane claw. The one driving, is Poppy.

The Doctor is thrown to the ground and he tries to grab them but the Prototype grabs the Doctor and throws him away, and then he looks to the group. “Head to the lift! The path has been cleared! Guess we didn’t need the Omni-Hand after all. Now go, get out of here now! Leave Playtime, and never ever come back!”

But then the Doctor punches Prototype on the face, but then he’s struck by a rocket from a javelin, and this stuns him, and the Prototype tackles the Doctor and fights him below the labs. This shocks everyone, and so they all make a run for it, and with Poppy slowly following, and swinging the arms of the vehicle around, knocking away all the enemies coming at them.

They all see the path to the lift, but then the Prototype is thrown over them and hits the wall hard, and breaks through and into the darkness. Then the Doctor comes out of nowhere, and is about to strike at Poppy with his claws, but then the Prototype grabs the vehicle, and kicks the Doctor away.

This surprises Poppy and she looks to the Prototype. “Are you alright, Poppy?” Hearing that concerned voice, Poppy is surprised, and shocked… It is her father, Elliot Ludwig.

The Doctor then reemerges, and he goes after the Prototype, but then Sergei has a javelin ready again and he fires the rocket, and then several grenades are thrown and land into the Doctor, and they blow up, damaging his body.

This allows the Prototype to land a punch and a scratch, and then Poppy charges in striking the two arms onto the body of the Doctor, and then knocking away more of the robots and Critters. Poppy then sees a large steel gate above, and she looks to everyone who stops running and looking back.

Poppy has tears, and she sees the Prototype, fighting the Doctor with everything he’s got. Poppy looks back to the others. “Everyone, you heard Mr. Ludwig.” This surprises them. “Leave Playtime, and… Never ever come back!”

Poppy pushes a button, and one of the arms shoots a large metal fist, and it hits the nearby button, smashing it and the large metal gate comes crashing down, and blocking the way, separating them from Poppy, and she smiles and has some tears. “Go, and live your lives together. I have to be here…”

Poppy then drives forward. “For my father.” She then attacks several robots, and critters.

All of them are surprised at what she did, but they see some more Critters coming, and so they have no choice but to run, and yet Neil feels like they should go back for her, but it seems she once again chose her path, a path to ensure they’re all safe, and sound. A path, to be there, for her beloved father.

They keep running and they can see the lift, but then a Bigger Body Nightmare Critter comes from above, and lands on top of Neil, and he sees it’s a Rabie Baby and it tries to bite at his face, but he dodges it. The others are enraged, and go to stop this thing.

But then something else tackles Rabie Baby, and they see who it is, and Neil is shocked, and he smiles. “Baba Chops!” The very same one that they encountered from the Labs.

Baba Chops bleats and shrieks, and she tackles Rabie Baby and bites her wing, and then tosses her towards Catnap to grab and rip off the other wing, and then DogDay punches Rabie Baby away, and she hits Poe and Maggie Mako.

Baba Chops races towards Neil, and helps him to his feet. “Hey girl, I could only guess. You wanna come with us, right?” Baba Chops smiles, and cheers and he hugs Neil.

This surprises DogDay, Catnap, Catnip and Bobby. “You gotta be kidding me.” Crafty doesn’t know what’s going on.

They see more Robots coming, and Sergei throws a grenade. Neil grabs Baba Chops and they head to the lift, and then they slowly go up. “Can this thing go any faster?!” yelled Leon.

“Let’s try this!” Neil uses the Omni-Hand onto the scanner, and it gives it a boost, and the lift speeds up and heads out of the underground levels, but the Critters and Robots climb and go after them.

They feel the ground shake, and the walls vibrate, which means the fight is still ongoing deep below, and then they make it to Playcare, and they see the dome is getting overrun by Nightmare Critters, and Robots.

Catnap then deploys Red Smoke to act as a smoke screen and keep them hidden, Catnap then has an idea, and he musters the Red Smoke in his mouth, and he shoots it out like a red ball and it hits an area in Playcare, and so Neil uses the Flare hand, and it blows up the Red Smoke, destroying the foes coming after them.

“Where the heck did you learn that, Catnap?!”

“JUST NOW!” Catnap does it again several times and so Huggy and Kissy use their Flare hands to light up the red smoke balls, destroying several critters and robots.

DogDay, Catnap, Catnip and Miss Delight watch as they leave Playcare, and they called this home, and remember the best times they had, when there were children, Bobby is amazed to see this place again, and she sighs and knows, that they will never ever come back here.

They soon reach the Game Station, and there they see more Critters are trying to come through, and some of them scorched and damaged, but then they see the stuff they left behind, and so they use they’re Grabpacks and pull the stuff towards them, especially the two barrels of red gel.

“We’re not leaving behind these innovative products of medical magic!” yelled Leon.

“Figured you’d say that. Let’s hope you know how to make more” replied Neil.

“Will this help?” Doey hands a paper and VHS Tape to Leon, and it is exactly what he needs. “Kept this with me for some time, inside of me.” Doey chuckles, and the others don’t know if that was supposed to be funny.

Mommy Long Legs watches, as they leave Playtime, the place where she was a prisoner to her own insanity. A place she used to call home, but she knows, is nothing more than her dark asylum to her madness and anger.

The lift stops, and they have arrived back to where Make-a-Friend is located. They leave the lift, and then Neil breaks the controls, and uses the Omni-Hand, and this causes a malfunction, and the lift heads down fast and knocks away the critters and robots coming.

Catnap fills the lift area with a ton of Red Smoke, and they all race away, and then Peter throws a grenade, and it blows up making a fiery blast in the lift area.

They make it through the halls, and then race by the Lobby, and Huggy Wuggy takes one last look, at the place where he would always stand, and always wave.

Neil races to Huggy. “Come on buddy, we gotta get going now.” Huggy nods, and they all race out of there.

They all make it to the Receptionists area, and they see the pathway and head out of there. Neil, Leon, Sergei, Peter, Huggy Wuggy, Kissy Missy, Mommy Long Legs, Catnip, Catnap, DogDay, Miss Delight, CraftyCorn, Bobby Bearhug, Yarnaby, Baba Chops, and Doey the Doughman, are al leaving Playtime.

But then, in a slow motion, a large mechanical claw breaks free, and it belongs to the Doctor and is about to come down on them, but another mechanical arm comes out, and grabs the other one, and then drags it down below.

The others are knocked out of the Factory, but Neil, Mommy Long Legs, Huggy and Baba Chops are about to fall, as the ground below breaks, but then someone grabs them and pushes them away, and the ceiling above comes down, only to be stopped, and someone is carrying it, Doey.

Doey is in his monstrous form, and he roars as he holds the ceiling above. “I’ve got you guys!” But then Doey looks back and he sees some red lights coming, the robots are on their way, and he sees Neil helping the others stand up, and they all look back to Doey.

“Doey come on, we gotta get outta here, now” replied Neil, but he sees Doey not moving. “Doey? Buddy?”

Doey makes two arms, to break through the walls next to him, and outside the others see his giant clay arms emerge, and they grab the smoke stacks of the factory. Then Doey makes more tentacles, and they break through the ceiling, and he grabs more of the smoke stacks.

Doey sees some pipes, and they are filled with gas which can be used to explode, and so he grabs them, and he crushes them, and the gas is released. Doey then looks to Neil and the Toys, and the others outside, and he starts to cry.

“Go… Just, go and… Go and save yourselves. It’s time… That Doey the Doughman, did some actual good. Something, worth it. I have to do this, so that they won’t get out, and hurt anyone! No more hurting! No more pain! Just… Just freedom. From everything.”

“No, no! No! Doey!” Huggy races over, and grabs Neil, and they all head out of the Factory. Neil looks back and sees Doey wave to him.

“Mommy… Daddy…” Doey sobs. “I’m… I’m sorry, I’m sorry!” Doey roars, and he pulls his arms, causing the entire foundation of the Factory to come down, and the pipes are crushed, combined with the electric sparks from the building, causing an explosion within, and this triggers a chain reaction.

The fire ignites, and travels underground, hitting the other pipes, and the Red Smoke pipes, and the Game Station, and Playcare are destroyed, and they come crumbling down into the ground, and deep below dragging the Nightmare Critter minis, bigger bodies and the Doctor Robots.

Everyone up top, and out of the Factory back away and watch as the entire place is sinking inside of itself, falling onto itself, tearing itself apart. But then Catnap senses something. “HIDE NOW!”

They all follow him and go inside of the Truck Trailer, and close the door, and the entire factory blows up, sending fire in every direction, and thankfully not damaging their vehicles nearby, or the trailer. The trailer does rock a bit from the blast, and then it stops.

They all stay where they are, for a few minutes. The door of the trailer opens, and they all emerge, and see, the Factory is gone, it has collapsed and blown up, the rest now underground buried, by tons of debris of broken concrete, and steel, and other stuff.

That would mean, those deep beneath the Factory underground, are now trapped and unable to escape, which is what the Prototype and Poppy have planned, to ensure the Doctor is unable to escape, and endanger everyone above.

They are all just horrified, and shocked. They didn’t think this would happen, but then Neil picks up something on the ground, and they all see… It’s the little hat, of Doey the Doughman.

They all are saddened by this, and DogDay whispers to CraftyCorn about what happens, and she starts to cry and so he embraces her and also cries. They all mourn, the sacrifice of Doey the Doughman, for his courage and the true good he did, to ensure they would all escape the Factory.

Scout goes closer to Neil, and so he picks her up and hugs her, and the little hat. Neil just sheds tears, and cries. He looks to the Factory in ruins, and he coughs. “Doey… Thank you, thank you big guy. You did good big guy. Everything, everything is alright now.”

The other Toys go towards Neil and they embrace him and mourn with him. Leon, Sergei and Peter leave them be, since they are all mourning, that the plan to save everyone in Safe Haven has failed, sorta. But they did manage to save several more toys, and change others to come along with them and be free.

Neil whispers to the Toys. “It’s alright… It’s alright now, we’re all alright now. We’re alright… Right, Doey?” Neil keeps the hat close to him, to remember the one Toy, the living Clay Dough, named Doey the Doughman.

To be continued…
A/N: They’re now out of the Factory, and they managed to save a few toys, and the rest… May they rest in peace, and… Thank you, Doey the Doughman. I hope you guys enjoyed reading this.

Chapter 34: Returning Back Home

Chapter Text

Well, time to go home again and just… Try to not think about what has happened, but they all need to mourn. Though they didn’t succeed in the plan, they at least managed to save those they could get out, and also stop the villain and keep that monster away from everyone else. I hope you all enjoy reading this new one guys.
Saving Playtime.
“Returning Back Home.”

The group are here, in the Hospital, and they are all waiting, for surgery to finish. All of them are tired, and just want to rest, but they’re not gonna rest until someone is repaired, fixed and alright. Neil sees Scout Bot next to him, and so he picks her up and let’s her sit on his lap, and he rubs her head.

They all can see, Neil is in pain, and has deep regret, for not trying to save Doey. But he chose to sacrifice himself, to allow the others to live. They do notice, Scout Bot has the hat of Doey, and she hugs it.

Peter Sharp sighs. “Guys, let’s all be real here. We failed to save everyone, but we managed to save those whom we could get out of there. We just… Everything else, we didn’t see it all coming.”

Yarnaby and Baba Chops are both asleep, they’re both behaving, and the staff of the Hospital don’t bother with these large strange creatures.

Then the doors open, they all stand up and see Leon smile. “It’s done. Everyone, welcome back… CraftyCorn.” They see CraftyCorn leave the surgery room, and she covers her face, and she looks around, and she blinks, her eyes are the same as the other Smiling Critters.

“I can… I can see again! DogDay! Catnap! Bobby!” CraftyCorn races over to the others, and she embraces them, and they have tears, and even Catnap has tears.

The others clap and are happy to see CraftyCorn regain her vision, she then looks around and see the others. “So, it’s all true? We’re… And the… F-Factory?”

“Yes.” She turns around and sees Neil. “It’s… It’s all over, and we’re… We’re never coming back there. Welcome to freedom, CraftyCorn.”

This makes the Smiling Critter shed tears and she embraces Neil, and then the others join in and cry with him, he too cries with them. All of them together, alright and alive, and free. All thanks to the Doughman who gave his life, to ensure they were all safe, and sound and free.

(Later.)

The Truck of Neil is now headed back home, on the road and with the others all inside of the towed trailer, and the back of the truck. Some of them being able to ride with Neil inside, and this gives Neil a reason to get a new vehicle for himself and the kids.

It’s already afternoon, and night time would be close soon. They soon arrive, seeing the familiar gate of the mansion. This is noticed by those who haven’t seen it, and they have been in awe seeing the rest of the town earlier.

“This is where you guys have been living?” asked Bobby.

“Wow. This place is big, and looks amazing” replied Crafty.

“It looks bigger than Safe Haven” replied Scout Bot.

The Truck stops at the front of the gate, Neil gets out of the driver’s seat after turning it off, and he sits on the ground with his back leaning onto the vehicle, and they all head over and check on him. “Papa…” He looks to Crafty. “Are you alright?”

Neil chuckles hearing her say that. “I guess… I’m tried. It’s just… Everything has been exhausting lately, and… I don’t know, Crafty. Don’t worry guys, I’m just… Exhausted, but then again, we’re all exhausted.”

“Well, we’re home now, and we’re alright again, Angel” replied DogDay.

Catnap sees Baba Chops, and so he pets her head, and Baba goes near Neil and he rubs her head, and Yarnaby also wants to cheer him up. Neil sighs, and he has his cell phone. “We’re going to order dinner, not cook anything tonight—”

“Don’t worry, father.” Mommy Long Legs picks up Neil and places him onto the back of Catnap. “We’ll handle this from here.”

Miss Delight nods, and she grabs her cell phone to call for pizza delivery from Pizza Hut. Huggy and Kissy guide Baba Chops into the mansion to get her cleaned up.

Yarnaby sees where this is going, and he’s about to flee and hide, but DogDay picks him up easily, and then he takes him to the bathroom upstairs to get cleaned, and with the help from Crafty and Bobby.

Catnip guides Scout Bot into the mansion, and show her around. This all makes Neil smile, and he sees the kids he has, and they are all 11 kids. Miss Delight is technically not a kid, she’s an animatronic with flesh, or something.

Neil is brought to the couch, and Catnap removes his backpack and Grabpack, and Mommy Long Legs takes his jacket, and they let him lay down. “WE WILL HANDLE THINGS SAVIOR. YOU HAVE DONE SO MUCH.”

Mommy Long Legs nods. “We’ll be alright, we have learned how to do many things here back then.” She places a kiss on his forehead, and she takes her leave to help the others.

Neil sighs and he smiles, and he closes his eyes. But then he senses someone in the room. “Theo, you don’t have to watch over me.” Catnap is sitting on the arm chair, watching him like an owl. Definitely not creepy at all.

(Time skip, later.)

Dinner is done, and the others have been cleaned and washed. The hard part, was cleaning Yarnaby since he doesn’t like baths, cleaning Baba Chops is easy since she cooperates. Crafty and Bobby are also cleaned, and Scout Bot was cleaned by Neil, and he just had to wipe her metallic robot body.

Now, Neil comes down the stairs, and he is dressed for bed, but he doesn’t know why he was called down to the living room, and he sees the living room has been cleared of furniture, and three mattresses have been placed, with a lot of pillows, and blankets, and he sees all the Toys are here.

Huggy Wuggy, Kissy Missy, Mommy Long Legs, Miss Delight, DogDay, Catnap, Catnip, Scout Bot, CraftyCorn, Bobby Bearhug, Yarnaby and Baba Chops.

Neil chuckles. “Just like last time, huh kids?” They all chuckle, and the Bobby holds his hand, to guide him to the living room, and they all sit down. Yarnaby pushes Neil and licks his face, and this makes him laugh. “Alright, alright. I love ya too Quinn.” He then sits back up, and he pets the head of Yarnaby.

Neil looks to all of them, and they go closer, and he remembers the day he met them, and the moment he changed them.

Saving Huggy Wuggy from falling, and tending to his injuries, and giving him food. Giving him a hug, and making sure he’s alright and fine. 
Saving Mommy Long Legs from the grinder, and fixing her injuries, and showing her who she truly was, Marie Payne. 
Reasoning with Kissy Missy, after she tackled, and knock him unconscious, and showing her that she can leave, and be free with them, reuniting with Huggy Wuggy. 
Encountering the disfigured Miss Delight, giving her some food, which helped her break from her insanity, and comforting her for what she did long ago. 
Entering the Playhouse and finding a scared Catnip and offering him freedom from the Playhouse.
Rescuing a shackled and wounded DogDay and making sure he gets his bottom half is back.
Saving Catnap from getting killed, and showing him that someone else truly cares about him.
Finding Bobby Bearhug, and making sure she gets fixed of the pain she has been through.
Finding a lost and scared CraftyCorn and helping her try and get her vision back.  
Reasoning with Yarnaby with his real name, and some food and away from the pain.
Facing off against Baba Chops, and just showing him some kindness, with something to eat.
Encountering the little Boogie-Bot named Scout Bot, and just meeting her. That was it.
And then… There is Doey the Doughman who never could come with them, encountering him and just screaming after he tore apart and ate Pianosaurus.

The Toys all come closer, and they embrace Neil, and he hugs them all back. They all depart from the hug, and Neil smiles seeing them all. “We’re alright now. Everything is alright, and we’re together again, we’re free and… We’re home.”

This makes them feel better, and then Neil claps his hands, and the lights turn on, he snaps his fingers and a nightlight turns on, and they see the Star and Moon patterns, and this makes them all smile, and they just watch the lights go around the room.

(time skip, somewhere close to 11pm.)

The toys are all still asleep, all of them snoozing, and no loud snoring, and Yarnaby doesn’t know, that Baba Chops is asleep on him, and CraftyCorn cuddling close to DogDay, not wanting to be separated from her friend, and Bobby also hugging them both as she sleeps.

Miss Delight with her sleeping mask on, and Catnip asleep on top of her, Mommy Long Legs also asleep, and with Huggy and Kissy sleeping close by and hugging, and Catnap asleep on the arm chair, Scout Bot asleep in his curling form.

But someone is missing, and that someone is Neil Spellman.

At his office, the lights are on, and Neil is inside. He places the hat of Doey the Doughman onto the shelf, near his desk. “Welcome home, Doey. Welcome to the Family.” He sighs, and wipes away a tear, and then he checks his backpack, and he sees the stuff he has.

‘All of this, more evidence for us to use, to go against the bastard who made everything into a nightmare. The Documents, the Files, the Notes, and the VHS Tapes and…’ But then he grabs one. “Wait, did I see this one?”

Neil then recalls, he did buy a VCR before they went home, and he places it onto the computer desk, and he connects it to the TV, and then he puts it inside, and he realizes this VHS Tape, is an audio recording, of what happened, with Doey the Doughman, and the parents of Jack Ayers.

Heavy breathing heard in the background.
Scientist: "Sir, ma'am, I ask that you remain calm whenever you interact with the... patient. He's only been awake a few days now. In many respects he's still adjusting."
Mom: "Is that... Is that him? Is that my boy?"
Scientist: "Yes, ma'am, it is."
Mom: "Oh, George. That's our boy. Jackie."
Dad: "Why does he look like that? What did you do to him!?"
Mom: "Stop it, George! Just stop! That's our son in there. Our SON."
Dad: "Dear, look at it. That's not even human!"
Mom: "Let's just talk to him. Y-You'll see. Let's just go in there and talk to him. Can we? Can we talk to him?"
Scientist: "Yes, ma'am, you certainly can. Go on in, whenever you're ready."
Mom: "Jack? Jack, I... I want you to know... I'm so, SO sorry. I've never forgiven myself for what happened. I've played it all back a million times in my head, and I know, I KNOW there had to be... SOMETHING I could have done. I could've reached a little further. I could've noticed a little sooner. I could've-... But we have you back now. That's what's important. We can--"
Doey: "Who. Are. You."
Mom: "J-Jack?... Honey, it's me. It's mommy."
Doey: "M... Mommy?"
Mom: "Yes. Yes! It's mommy and daddy. You remember, don't you?"
Doey: "Leave. Me. Alone."
Mom: "Hey. Hey, you'll be okay, I promise. Mommy's only here to talk."
Doey: "No, no I don't WANT to talk. Get out!!"
Dad: "Susan, I think we should leave..."
Mom: "Jackie, I'm staying right here. I'm not leaving you. Not ever again, do you hear me?"
Doey: "The gentle voices lie! I know what they do! They lie... And they poke... And they hurt!"
Dad: "Susan, Susan get away from it!"
Doey groans and breathes heavily.
Mom: "J-Jack?... Mommy won't lie to you, Jackie. Mommy won't hurt you. I'd NEVER hurt you."
Dad: "Hey... Hey! Open this door!"  A slamming sound is heard with some crunching sound, and then it goes silent. This is a clear sign, that the Mom has been killed.
Dad: "Oh god, Susan! Please! OPEN THE DOOR!! PLEASE!" He then screams in terror.  
A loud slamming is heard, along with some crunching. Doey starts to cry again.

Neil is horrified to hear this. He now realizes, that he was in so much pain before, but then he calms down and sighs. ‘At least they’re all free. All free from the form they have been trapped in. Mathew, Kevin, Jack and… Doey. So long, and thank you… For helping us.’

Neil turns it all off, and he takes his leave from the office, and he goes back to the Living Room, to sleep with the others and just, look forward to what will happen next for them all, but he is also concerned about everyone being in Thebes, since the location of the Factory that was their prison, is on the other side.

But as he sleeps, in his office… The hat of Doey the Doughman, there is a little bit of blue clay, clinging to the side, hidden from the others, and it slowly moves, as if… It’s breathing.

Chapter 35: The Aftermath of Playtime

Chapter Text

So, time skipping and just checking how everyone else is handling, now that they have a home, and are free from the place they called their prison, and whatever will be coming next. I hope you all enjoy reading this new one guys.
Saving Playtime.
“The Aftermath of Playtime.”

Weeks have gone by, after the fall of the Playtime Factory, and we see Neil sitting in his office, and waiting for the call. He sighs, and just looks out the window, and he smiles seeing Yarnaby and Baba Chops playing together, and chasing a butterfly.

The good news, they don’t harass the chickens, and he still has the photo of the chickens all sleeping on top of Yarnaby and Baba Chops. They seem more comfortable when those two toys are in the backyard.

CraftyCorn and Bobby Bearhug are also getting used to the place, and they both seem to have a great form of talent in something. Crafty is of course good with art, and it seems Bobby knows different kinds of flowers and what they need.

Scout-Bot, she seems really good when it comes to repairing some big tech, she managed to fix the Solar Panel without asking, and it now works right, so she can help when the house needs some help with technological issues, such as wiring in the vents.

Then Neil’s cell phone rings, this makes Neil panic, and he grabs his cell phone, and he almost drops it, but he catches it and then he speaks to her. “Michelle?!”

“We did it! The case if now fully closed! Leith Pierre, and his other associates are now sentenced to for life in prison. The evidence you got, was enough for us to put them away for good, and to never ever see the light again. Though, there is one person on the run and law enforcement are trying to find him.”

This confuses Neil. “And who is it?”

“Eddie Ritterman. He was last seen in London, and avoided being caught to be sent to court. MI6 is aware of this man, and they are on the hunt for him. Must be a bad life for him now that the law is looking for him, and there won’t be anywhere for him to escape since he’s a wanted man.”

“This case is closed, and done. The crimes of Playtime has been revealed, and also the wreckage of the Playtime Factory will be locked down and become a hazardous location, where nobody is allowed to venture. You and the others did it, justice is done and now the dead can rest in peace.”

“A shame that Harley Sawyer was not caught into this, but from what we saw from the evidence, he became the Doctor which is trapped within a Computer System. So, I guess being stuck or dead beneath Playtime is a better punishment for that mad man. We won, you won. Those kids, have won.”

Neil sighs in relief, and he sits down and smiles. He chuckles, and is happy to hear this. “Thank you… Thank you Michelle. Thank you, this… This means so much to me and the—”

He can hear cheering on the other side of his office door, and he knows it’s the Toys hearing him and he smirks. “The kids, Playtime is over.” Neil then ends the call, he gets up and leaves his office to celebrate with the others, that they won and the villain who started everything, is dealt with for good.

Neil leaves his office, it’s been a day since he got that call, and he stretches his arms, and its already afternoon, and they already had lunch. ‘Alright, so I should see if Sharp is up for some League of Legends time, and with Leon and Sergei. It’s been a while since we played that game.’

Neil still recalls, the other day when they were told about the verdict and that Leith Pierre is dealt with, and yet one person is still out there, and his name is Eddie Ritterman. ‘I hope they find that son of a bitch and lock him away for good. I doubt he can escape his own country now that they’re on the hunt.’

Neil checks the time on his watch. ‘Well, time to go and get ready to make dinner for everyone. Time to make some delicious spaghetti and meatballs, and I will need help. I need to check if Delight or Marie or DogDay are available to assist.’

Neil then walks by the rooms, and he checks the doors and the symbols on them, and they have changed.

A Door with an Apple that has a smile, and with a Pink Spider-Man logo, apparently Mommy Long Legs is a fan of the Spider-Man movies.

A Door with a Pink and Blue Huggy and Kissy head logo, and both have smiles.

A door with a Yellow Sun and White Moon. So those two haven’t changed at all.

There is a new door, and this one has a Red Heart, and a Colorful flower, symbolizing the roommates Bobby Bearhug, and CraftyCorn.

Another door, with the symbol of a Rainbow ball, and a Black Cloud, which is the shared bedroom for Yarnaby and Baba Chops. Thankfully, Yarnaby learned how to open door knobs.

And lastly, we have a door with the symbol of a Purple Moon and a Green Robot head, this is the shared bedroom for Scout-Bot and Catnip, and there is a smaller door for them to use since they’re small.

Neil sighs, and he still recalls the day he got them these rooms, and now inside it’s filled with some stuff they like, and it took a while for the new toys to get used to shopping, and going to other places, and yet they don’t seem keen on leaving the mansion unless Neil is with them, they’re still shy when going into town.

Well, except for three others, and they are DogDay, Mommy Long Legs and Miss Delight, they seem to be alright with leaving the estate, and going out to run some errands whenever Neil is busy. It’s the least they can do.

Neil knocks on the bedroom door, shared by Marie/Mommy Long Legs and Miss Delight. “Hey Delight, are you in there?”

“Come on in.” Neil goes inside, and he sees her typing, and then she stops and closes her laptop. “What’s going on Neil? Need help with something?” She then checks the time. “Oh my, I didn’t see the time fly by. Are we making dinner tonight?”

“We are, and it’s Spaghetti with meatballs and I need some assistance.” Miss Delight nods, and she follows Neil out of the room, and then he asks. “So, what the heck were you typing?”

“A book” replied Miss Delight, and they head down the stairs.

Neil is shocked. “A Book? Like, a novel book thing?”

Miss Delight nods. “Kinda like that. Just a little something I wanted to do, to keep myself occupied. After all, I know how a laptop and computer fully work, well the new ones of this generation. The book is nice, and I asked the others on their points of view.”

Hearing this confuses Neil, and then he asks her. “And what’s the book about?”

Miss Delight heads to the kitchen. “The Estranged Angel of Playtime.” This makes Neil stop, and he smiles, and follows her into the kitchen, and he feels like if she finishes this book, they should have it published and see what everyone else thinks.

The following day, Neil is in the backyard, and he sits on the ground and watches everyone else just having fun and doing their own thing, and thank goodness that they’re chores are now done, and they can all play.

Miss Delight is typing in her room, to get her book started and Neil already talked to her about publishing, and she’ll tell him when it’s done and ready to go.

Yarnaby is running around, and playing with DogDay, and they race past Catnap who is asleep alongside Catnip. They both wake up and see this, and then they return to their nap.

Bobby Bearhug is sitting by some flowers, and she takes some of the fallen ones to make a flower crown, well several flower crowns.

CraftyCorn is painting, she was given some art supplies, and she’s slowly improving and she paints Bobby Bearhug and even adding some of the others onto the canvas.

Kissy Missy and Huggy Wuggy… Are back to their usual thing, laying down on the grass and just watching the clouds go by, and even making up the shapes of the clouds and laughing.

Scout-Bot shows up from the garage, and she has made some paper planes out of some scrap paper, these are different shaped paper planes, and she uses a slingshot and sends them flying around, for DogDay and Yarnaby to chase, and soon Catnap and Catnip join them as well.

Mommy Long Legs comes over to Neil and she sits next to him, and then Baba Chops shows up, and he lets her lay onto his lap, and he rubs her fluffy head. “It’s kinda odd, to see Baba Chops act all… Excited and fun, unlike the profile I read on the character.”

Mommy Long Legs chuckles. “Not everything from those cartoons is fully connected with the real-life version. I’m also glad they stopped making those Playtime shows, and another thing I need to ask, father. Did you order something online? What was it?”

“Yeah, I did. I managed to find one, a plushie of Baba Chops, but I am not getting the rest of those Nightmare Critters…” Neil then recalls. “Because that is something I will never ever forget.” This is understandable, since he has seen the Bigger Body versions that wanted to kill him.

Baba Chops bleats, and so Neil does a nose kiss with her, and she giggles and laughs, and then she races off to chase the Paper Planes as well. Then Mommy Long Legs looks to Neil. “Do you want to play tennis?”

Neil remains silent. “Ummm, yea sure.” He recalls, the last time he played tennis with her, she won and beat him, too many times. Well, that’s what happens when a human goes against a giant living toy.

The very next day, Neil is inside of the Living Room, and he is assembling a Mobile Suit Gundam, the Real Grade Shining Gundam, and he’s not alone. Also helping him is Scout-Bot, and she likes doing this. “this is so cool, and awesome. I can’t wait to see it complete.”

Neil smirks. “Same here. Not the first time I’ve had to assemble another Real Grade Gundam, and from what I heard, this version of the Shining Gundam is supposedly hard to handle with the gimmicks, but then again I’ve assembled worse things.”

Scout-Bot manages to use the nippers to get some parts off the runners to assemble the leg. “And what was the hardest thing you have ever assembled, father?”

“The Master Grade Gundam Zeta, and that one was hard because it can turn from Gundam to Waverider aircraft, er spacecraft” replied Neil. “When this is over, I am bringing you into my office and showing you the rest of the Gundam’s and other stuff I have on display.”

“Really? Thank you, father!” Scout-Bot goes towards Neil and so he hugs her, they didn’t even notice Kissy Missy using a large camera to take a photo of them, but then Neil turns around and sees it.

“Kissy? Where did you find that camera?”

Kissy then points upstairs, and Bobby BearHug shows up and hears her speak. “She said she found it in her closet. Does this belong to someone?”

Neil goes over with Scout-Bot, and he checks the camera, and he sees the photo come out and it looks clear. “This belonged to my grandfather, I always wondered where this was. I thought it was in the attic, nice job finding it Kissy and it still works too.”

Kissy nods, but then an idea pops into Neil’s head. “You know, this does give me an idea what to do for tomorrow, all of us.”

At the front yard, they are all gathered here, and they’re not wearing anything fancy. Miss Delight, is wearing a new version of the attire she wore long ago which was damaged. Neil managed to find someone to fix her torn blouse and skirt.

Neil places the camera on a tripod, and he sets up a timer for it. “Alright, good!” He races off with the others, and they all adjust themselves. Huggy Wuggy, Kissy Missy, Mommy Long Legs, Miss Delight, Catnap, DogDay, Bobby Bearhug, CraftyCorn, Yarnaby, Baba Chops, Catnip and Scout-Bot.

Neil stands in the middle, and they can see the timer is about to end, and they all smile, well the Smiling Critters are already smiling, and same with Baba Chops and… You all get the idea, a lot of them are technically smiling, and the camera takes the photo.

But also, Neil has something in his arms, a small black hat, one that belonged to a special friend, who truly deserves to be in the photo with them.

Neil comes down the stairs, and he puts his cell phone away, after he got word that Eddie Ritterman has been caught, and he is going to be locked away after he broke into a family’s house and tried to hold them hostage for his escape.

Neil sighs in relief, glad it’s over. But then Neil hears a knock on the door, which doesn’t make sense since there is still the Gate in the way. He heads over, and sees who it is, but he doesn’t see anyone. He does see the gate slightly open, and the wiring outside for the gate has been sabotaged, by an electric shock, like… From a green hand.

Neil then looks down, and he sees a brown box, and he sees the note on it.

The last remnants of that damned life is over and gone now. Thank you for returning to the Factory, thank you for burying the last remnants of the horrors I never spoke of to the world. Thank you, for being there and saving those whom you managed to change. Now I can live my life, with no more regrets and guilt.

  • W.

Neil then looks around, and he sees nobody there, and he realizes that P. W also known as Pace Walters must have had a Grabpack with him the entire time, and he checks the box and he’s shocked by what he sees.

The Poppy Playtime Doll, the very same one he didn’t bother to buy back then because it looked creepy, this makes him smile. “Hello Poppy Playtime, you did a good job back there. Thanks for making sure, we got out safely.”

Neil also sees, a letter inside with a VHS Tape, and he realizes what this is. ‘Right, he was supposed to go to the Factory long ago, ten years after the Hour of Joy, and the last letter and VHS Tape sent by Poppy Playtime, which never reached the former worker of Playtime.’

Neil also sees something else, and he has some tears and he picks up, the Action Figure of Doey the Doughman. ‘How come this wasn’t in the yard sale?’ He recalls that at the yard sale, all he saw was the Playdough product, but not this action figure.

So, he goes back inside, and a car drives away hidden behind some trees, and the man inside smiles and coughs. He then drives off, away from Thebes and away from the life and regrets he had, and now to find his own life, and path. With no guilt eating him up inside.

The very next day, er night. Everyone is now fast asleep in their bedrooms, and it’s raining outside. Neil looks out the window of his office, and the rain stops and this makes him smile. ‘Gonna be a nice and cold night tonight.’

Neil sits down on his chair, and he looks to the stuff on his shelves, and the Playtime Co. Products he bought, and found.

The Huggy Wuggy and Kissy Missy Plush toys, the full collection of the Smiling Critters Plush Toys, the Baba Chops Plush toy, Yarnaby Plush, Miss Delight and Mommy Long Legs Action Figure, Bunzo and PJ Pug-a-Pillar Plush toys, Doey the Doughman action figure, and the Poppy Playtime Doll, but he didn’t put it into a case.

Neil already watched the VHS Tape, and read the note, and then he sees the black hat of Doey, just sitting there, and he still doesn’t notice the little blue piece of clay stuck inside of the hat.

Neil then recalls, that there have been times when he hears the kids crying, and upset. Some of them, still mourning for the loss of those who never got the chance to be free from the Factory. Neil has been dealing with this a lot of times, mostly at night time.

From either CraftyCorn, Bobby Bearhug, and Scout-Bot. This gives him concerns. ‘We have to move. But, I can’t be able to do that because that would mean leaving the mansion, and this was passed onto me… Perhaps a friend of mine from FutureTech can put his new technique to use again. Moving an entire home, to another location.’

‘The other toys, I have to talk to about this before I can make a move, but then again… I think they would agree, so that they don’t have to linger around the town, where the factory that was once their prison is nearby. But, if we are to move… Where the heck would we go?’

Neil then calls someone, someone whose helped them a lot lately.

….

At Seattle, someone’s phone rings, and it’s in an office of a firm. The one answering is a former pop star, former music talent scout, and now lawyer, Michelle Lewis. She answers the phone. “Hey there, Neil. Also, shouldn’t you be sleeping?”

“Yeah, well. Here’s the thing. I think I should move out of Thebes, with the kids.”

Michelle is surprised to hear this. “Whoa, didn’t see that coming. Are you sure?”

“Yeah, definitely sure. I haven’t told them yet, but I do know they will agree. It’s that… Being in a town, where the place that was once their prison, is not healthy for them. We need a new look on things, and don’t worry about the mansion, I have a plan on how to move it.”

Michelle smiles, and she sits down. “And I could only guess, you are asking me on where’s the best place for you and the kids to move in, right?”

“Pretty much. We just need a spot where the mansion can be set down, has a large backyard or land which I can own and manage. Possibly located outside of a town, and where I can scout it out on any places where we can purchase whatever essentials we need. Know any place?”

Michelle thinks about this, but then she sees the letter on her desk, the same one she opened and read. “I think I know of a place. So, this mayor from a town sent me a letter and asked if I could move into their town so they can avoid another conflict involving another Lake Disaster. I plan to move there soon, the state is in Michigan, and the name of the Town…”

She then recalls, her mistake there, the mistake of when she used to work for America’s Next Hitmaker. Deep down, she feels like she should make amends after what she tried to do. “The name of the town, is Royal Woods.”

“Sounds Fancy. Alright, you got my attention.”

The End.  
A/N: And it looks like… Things are about to change once again. I bet you guys didn’t see this coming. I hope you guys enjoyed reading this.
