After the group went through the hole, they looked around. "No signs of any Outimals so far..." Doey said, lowly.
Michelle heard Glowby make an alert sound before pressing the green button twice, which turned the blacklight on. Soon after, the group spotted an arrow pointing to the left with the blacklight.
When the group turned to the left, they saw another arrow near a makeshift ramp pointing toward a large vent. "I'll take the lead inside the vent," Michelle said as she pressed the button twice, switching from the blacklight to regular light before walking forward.
Michelle climbed the makeshift ramp before entering the vent, which made the toys follow. As the group traversed through the vent, Michelle looked around while aiming the light.
The group heard bumping above them, which made Yarnaby growl; Michelle made a gentle shushing noise. "It's alright, buddy; nothing is getting near us," she said. Soon after, the group heard a loud thump, which surprised them and made them stop.
When Michelle aimed the light up, she saw a green Outimal staring at her before running away; she sighed a bit and looked forward. "Let's keep moving," she said before they moved forward.
When Michelle was near the end of the vent, she saw an Outimal running away before getting out and landing on the ground.
After the toys got out of the vent, Michelle looked around. "Besides that one Outimal running away, nothing major so far..." she said. "Hopefully, Giblet's group shouldn't have a problem with their route."
Katelynn looked down with a slight frown and crossed her arms; Jack noticed and looked at her worried. "Is something wrong, Katie?" he asked.
Katelynn flinched a bit as the others turned to her. "I'm fine; it's just that..." she said before looking away. "Something has been bugging me before we left..." Doey looked at Katelynn. "You mean that statement Giblet said about the orphans?" he asked.
Katelynn nodded. "You're not alone in that department, sweetheart," Mommy Long Legs said. "It made me feel uneasy when he said that." Huggy Wuggy rubbed his head while Yarnaby tilted his head. "Why Giblet say that?" he asked.
Michelle slightly frowned and placed her hand against her chin. "There could be a possibility that these orphans could be dead or worse... that's why he said that statement," she said.
The toys were silent as Michelle looked at CatNap. "Do you think it's possible that the Prototype could've killed them?" she asked.
CatNap shook his head. "The False God had plans for them," he said. "I have a theory on what this plan could be, but..." CatNap looked down as his ears drooped. "I don't have enough intel to confirm it," he continued.
Michelle smiled a bit. "Well, as long as he didn't straight up kill the orphans, that's good enough for me," she said. "We can only hope that they're still with us."
Jack looked at Katelynn before wrapping his arms around her leg, which surprised her and made Doey flinch. "Everything will be OK, Katie; I promise," he said.
Katelynn looked at Jack before giggling a bit and petting his head. "Thank you, Jack," she said, which made him smile.
Doey grabbed Jack, which made him flinch. "That's enough out of you," he said before he fused with them. Soon after, Doey pouted and crossed his arms. "Party pooper," he said, which made Michelle and some of the group giggle a bit.
Glowby made an alert sound, which made the group look at it; Michelle pressed the green button twice, which changed the regular light to the blacklight.
When Michelle pointed the blacklight forward, the group spotted an arrow pointing to the vent. "You might lead to something important," she said before approaching it.
After Michelle climbed the boxes, she spotted an opening in the vent before entering and going up the ramp; when she turned to the left, she spotted an opening in the distance.
When Michelle was close to the opening, she spotted an Outimal near the door. Michelle pressed the green button twice, which changed the blacklight to regular light, before exiting the vent.
When Michelle aimed the light at the Outimal, they made pained noises before opening the door and running away. "That takes care of them," she said.
When Michelle looked at the console, she spotted a yellow cassette tape before picking it up. As Michelle left the room, the group looked at her. "Find anything?" Huggy Wuggy asked.
Michelle held the cassette tape up. "Just a cassette tape," she said before pressing the white part on Glowby, which opened the slot. "Let's see what you have for us." After Michelle inserted the cassette tape and closed the white part on Glowby, she pressed the red button.
Soon after, the group heard muffling and crying. "This is ridiculous. Tying them up, leaving them in there... just kill them and be done with it," Bobby BearHug said. "It wasn't supposed to be like this," Giblet said.
"Don't be a coward; you know what they did to us," Bobby BearHug said. "OK, what did these people do, huh?" Giblet asked rhetorically. "They work in the warehouse; they've never even been down to Playcare."
The group stared at Glowby. "You don't know them any more than I do. Let's just leave before—" before Giblet could finish, they heard metal clanking. "Survivors?" The group froze. "In there; he tied them up," Bobby BearHug said. "Why?" the Prototype asked.
"Because he's soft," Bobby BearHug said. Michelle stared at Glowby. "But this isn't, I... I can't; I-I... I just can't..." Giblet said. "You can... you have to," the Prototype said. "N-No... No, I—" the Prototype interrupted Giblet. "They can't leave... and they can't stay."
Some of the toys looked down. "But I... I... I never wanted this..." Giblet said, lowly. "Want is inconsequential; we agreed. We do this, together," the Prototype said.
Soon after, the group heard Giblet crying before hearing stabbing noises and muffled screams from the employees until the cassette tape stopped playing.
As the white part opened, Michelle pulled the cassette tape out and looked at it. "Now I can see where his pessimism comes from..." she said before closing the white part.
After Michelle placed the cassette tape on the wooden crate, she looked at the group. "We should keep moving," she said, which made them nod.
As the group went out of the opening, they saw the shadow of an Outimal before running away; Yarnaby growled and opened his mouth a bit.
Michelle petted Yarnaby's head. "It's OK, boy... it's OK..." she said, which calmed him down and closed his mouth. After the group climbed the stairs, they saw a hallway with an opening in the distance before walking forward.
When the group reached the opening, they saw a giant Bron lying on the ground with shackles on its neck and tail, and a hole on its right side, and stuffing coming out of it.
The group stared at Bron. "A Bigger Bodies version of Bron; now I've seen everything..." Michelle said, sarcastically, as she turned the light on Glowby off.
CatNap stared at the hole on Bron's side. "Seems like the Outimals were using him as a food source," he said. Michelle crossed her arms and looked down. I get that it's survival of the fittest, but this is all sorts of wrong... she thought.
On a metal beam, a large Outimal with brown fur stared at the group with animalistic growls; when they looked at Michelle, they leaped toward her. Katelynn shaped her fingers into claws before she stabbed the Outimal in their chest, which shocked the others.
As Katelynn pulled her fingers out of the corpse, other Outimals appeared around the room, which made most of the toys take fighting stances. "How did she know..." an Outimal with yellow-like fur said, lowly.
Katelynn shook the blood off her claws before glaring at the Outimals. "I can sense vibrations on the ground with my feet from miles away," she said.
Claws formed on Katelynn's other hand before taking a fighting stance. "If you thought you could ambush us and kill Big Sister so easily, you've got another thing coming," she continued.
Yarnaby lay on the ground, which made Michelle get on his back, before he stood up and growled with his mouth open. "The Judge wants the human dead..." an Outimal with red hair sticking out of them said. "Those who interfere will pay."
Doey's red teeth extended. "And you'll regret those words coming out of your mouth," he said. The Outimals roared before charging toward the group, which made them split apart.
A large Outimal with gray fur sticking out of it lunged toward Huggy Wuggy; he grabbed it before slamming it to a different Outimal.
As a few other Outimals charged toward Huggy Wuggy, he screeched. "Protect Misha!" he shouted before he continued swinging the Outimal he held at them.
As a few Outimals charged toward Mommy Long Legs, her pupils dilated, and she had a creepy smile as the fingers on her left hand elongated before she shot her arm toward them and grabbed them.
Mommy Long Legs laughed. "You really thought you could kill my little Misha... all of you are so foolish," she said before shooting her right arm at the roof and getting on it.
Mommy Long Legs looked at the Outimals in her hand. "Maybe you'll think smarter in your next life," she continued before letting them go, which made them hit the ground hard and kill them instantly.
An Outimal with cyan fur sticking out yelled and charged toward CatNap; his claws extended before he slashed them vertically.
As the corpse halves landed on the ground, a larger Outimal with white fur sticking out of them launched toward CatNap; he grabbed them before slamming them to the ground, killing them instantly.
As the other Outimals looked at CatNap, he glared at them with his ears pointing back, and a small bit of Red Smoke came out of his mouth. "Those who try to harm our Angel will die for their sins..." he said.
As a few Outimals launched toward Doey, he slammed them against the wall hard, killing them instantly. "There's no end to them..." he said, lowly.
When Doey glanced at Katelynn, he saw an Outimal launch toward her; she stabbed them with her claws before slamming them on the ground.
Katelynn pulled her claws out of the corpse and shook the blood off; unbeknownst to her, a large Outimal holding a screwdriver stood on a railing above her, growling, before jumping down.
Kevin split from Doey and looked at him. "Toss me in her direction," he said as he stepped back. Doey nodded as he held his hands together before lowering them, which made Kevin sprint toward him.
When Kevin jumped and landed on Doey's hands, he launched him toward Katelynn's direction; his claws sharpened before stabbing the Outimal, which made them yell.
Katelynn looked at Kevin as he landed on the ground; his body boiled, and he glared at the Outimal. "Never get near my family again?!" he shouted as he grabbed their upper half and roared before tearing them in half.
Katelynn stared at Kevin as he tried catching his breath, and his body stopped boiling; when he looked at her, he flinched before looking away.
Katelynn frowned a bit and approached Kevin before wrapping her arms around him, which surprised him. "It's OK, Big Brother... you did what you had to do..." she said.
Kevin looked at Katelynn before smiling a bit and petting her head; unbeknownst to them, a large Outimal slightly growled at them before leaping toward them. Matthew split from Jack and grabbed his arm. "You're up, Jack!" he shouted before throwing him in their direction.
As an Outimal with purple fur charged toward Matthew, he formed his left hand into a Morningstar-like weapon before slamming it against them, killing them instantly.
Jack formed an axe-like weapon from his right hand before cutting the Outimal's head off. The siblings let go and looked at Jack as he landed on the ground before looking at them. "You two alright?" he asked.
Katelynn was amazed and wagged her tail a bit. "That was awesome, Jack; you were like a superhero," she said. Jack blushed and looked away with a goofy smile. "Uh, thanks..." he said, lowly.
When Jack looked at the siblings, he noticed Kevin was sternly looking at him, which made him flinch. "Make one wrong move, and you'll answer to me," he said.
Jack panicked a bit as an Outimal with green fur sticking out of it launched toward him; Katelynn sprinted toward him. "Duck!" she shouted.
Jack flinched and ducked before Katelynn swung her tail at the Outimal, launching them into a wall hard. "Now's not the time to stay still; we've gotta keep fighting!" she shouted. The duo nodded as they kept attacking the Outimals.
An Outimal with dark blue fur sticking out of it charged toward Michelle and Yarnaby on their left side; she noticed as they leaped toward them. "To your left!" she shouted.
Yarnaby turned left and leaped toward them with their mouth open, which made Michelle hold onto him; he chomped on the Outimal's head before landing on the ground.
A larger Outimal with red fur sticking out of it stood on a crate and leaped toward Michelle. However, Yarnaby faced the Outimal before digging his claws into them and slamming them to the ground.
Michelle gritted her teeth a bit as Yarnaby ate the Outimal in his mouth. "There has to be a way to stop these Outimals from attacking us," she said. When Michelle looked at Bron, she thought of something before looking at Yarnaby. "Yarnaby," she said.
As Yarnaby closed his mouth and turned his head to Michelle, she pointed at Bron. "Climb onto Bron," she continued. Yarnaby looked at Bron before sprinting toward him; when he got on his back, Michelle looked at him. "Open your mouth but don't bite him yet," she said.
As Yarnaby opened his mouth, Michelle looked at the ground. "Hey?!" she shouted. The toys stopped before the Outimals looked at Michelle. "Leave my group and me alone, or I'll have Yarnaby kill your only food source," she said.
Some of the Outimals were shocked while others panicked; Kevin looked at Michelle with a slight chuckle. "That's my girl..." he said, lowly. A large Outimal with black fur sticking out of it pointed at Michelle. "You're bluffing," she said. "You wouldn't..."
Michelle sternly looked at the Outimals. "Yarnaby, get closer," she said. Yarnaby started moving toward Bron's neck, which made the Outimals flinch. When Yarnaby was close to Bron's neck, Michelle looked at him. "Close your mouth slowly," she said.
Yarnaby started closing his mouth slowly, which made the Outimals look at him in horror; Michelle looked at them. "You'd better act quickly, or he'll sink his teeth in," she continued.
When Yarnaby's teeth were close to Bron's neck, an Outimal with brown fur looked at Michelle. "Stop?!" he shouted. Michelle placed her hand on top of Yarnaby's head, which made him stop. "We'll leave you alone," the Outimal continued. "Just please... don't kill Bron..."
Michelle stared at the Outimals before patting Yarnaby's head, which made him back away from Bron's neck before closing his mouth. "I'm a woman of my word; no harm will come to him..." she said before glaring at them. "But know this... if you attack us, there will be no mercy."
The Outimals were silent as Yarnaby got off Bron's back; Michelle looked at the large shipping container hanging above her before aiming her left arm.
The blue hand shot from Michelle's wrist and grabbed the handle; Yarnaby walked forward, which pulled the shipping container in the process.
When the shipping container was on the other side, the trio fused back into Doey as the blue hand let go and retracted back to Michelle's wrist. "Let's head to the top, shall we?" she asked.
The group nodded as Mommy Long Legs got on the roof while Doey and Katelynn stretched their arms and grabbed the top part of the shipping container before reaching the top.
Katelynn shot her arms toward Huggy Wuggy and wrapped around him, which made his arm wrap around one of hers, before she pulled him up.
After Katelynn placed Huggy Wuggy on top of the shipping container, a few dough arms sprouted out of Doey before they shot forward and wrapped around Yarnaby. Michelle held onto Yarnaby as Doey pulled them up before placing them on top of the shipping container.
Mommy Long Legs wrapped her arm around CatNap before pulling him up and placing him on the shipping container. Michelle got off Yarnaby before looking at Mommy Long Legs. "Do you see a possible pathway on the other side?" she asked.
Mommy Long Legs stretched her head to the other side and spotted another shipping container on the other side, and a green handprint above it. "There's another shipping container, but there's also a green handprint on it," she said.
Michelle hummed a bit as Mommy Long Legs retracted her head. "Interesting..." she said, lowly, before looking at the door on the left side. "We'll check that room first; see if there's something important inside."
Michelle looked at CatNap, Yarnaby, and Mommy Long Legs. "The room is too small for you three to fit, so you'll be bodyguards," she continued as she sternly looked at the Outimals. "If they break their word, you know what to do."
CatNap bowed his head. "It will be done, Angel," he said. Michelle nodded before she, Doey, Huggy Wuggy, and Katelynn jumped toward the catwalk near the door.
Doey looked at Michelle as she approached the door. "Your idea about stopping the Outimals was smart," he said. "Though I'm surprised that you came up with something like that... threatening to kill him..."
Michelle sighed and placed her hand on the push bar. "Yeah, well... sometimes we'll have to make hard choices," she said before looking at Doey. "Even if they're morally wrong." Doey remained silent and nodded as Michelle pushed the door open before they entered.
