The trio entered the shipping area before getting on the lift. "This should take us to the cable car line," Katelynn said as the gate to the lift closed. Doey nodded as the lift started going up; he looked at Michelle as she trembled. "Misha..." he said, lowly.
When the lift reached the top, the duo got off it. When Katelynn looked forward, she noticed the cable car was gone. "Aw man, the cable car isn't up here anymore; I was kinda hoping it was..." she said.
Doey looked up and spotted a handle. "We won't need the cable car," he said, which made Katelynn look at him. "Climb on my back." Katelynn nodded as she approached Doey before she got on his back.
Doey stretched his arm to the handle and grabbed it before getting on a platform. "Hang on tight," he said as he stepped back. Soon after, Doey sprinted forward and jumped, which caused the handle to move down.
When the handle reached the end, Doey let go and landed on the ground. After Katelynn got off of Doey, he turned his head to the right and spotted an opening. "This way," he said; she nodded before they sprinted forward.
The pathway started shaking before rocks fell on the left side, which made the duo take the right side. Doey spotted a handle with electrified water under it before stretching his arm.
Soon after, Doey swung himself to the other side before landing on the ground. Katelynn jumped to the other side before the duo sprinted forward.
When the duo turned left, they saw large mining machines on the ground with a small gap. As Katelynn went through the gap, the ground under the machines broke before they fell into the abyss.
Katelynn looked at the giant hole before placing her hands on the wall. "Just in case..." she said before she continued moving.
When Katelynn was on the other side, separate dough arms came out of Doey before looking at Michelle. "Try not to move..." he said, lowly, before he placed the dough arms on the wall and moved onto the ledge.
When Doey reached the other side and retracted the dough arms, the duo spotted a hole before approaching it; when they were close, they crouched before entering.
Halfway through, the rubble behind the duo fell and covered the hole, which made them look at it. "Well, there's no turning back now..." Katelynn said, lowly, before they moved forward.
Soon after, the duo entered a tunnel. "This looks like a dead end," Katelynn continued before they walked forward and looked around. When Doey got on the broken conveyor belt, he saw a downward slope. "Katie," he said, which made Katelynn turn to him. "Over here."
Katelynn nodded before she approached Doey; when she was close, they slid down the slope. When the duo reached the bottom of the slope, they saw a door with a lever nearby before approaching it.
As Doey examined the door, he spotted an Omni-Hand scanner before looking at Michelle. "Misha... the Omni-Hand..." he said, lowly. "Pretty please..."
Michelle glanced at the scanner before aiming and pulling the right trigger, launching the Omni-Hand, and touching the scanner. When the scanner finished, the light above the lever started flashing. "Thank you; I'll take it from here," Doey said.
Michelle covered her face on Doey's side as he stretched his arm to the lever before pulling it down. Soon after, the light above the door turned green before it started opening.
As the small group entered the Mining Pit, they saw Poppy and Kissy Missy in the center before walking down a slope. Poppy held the phone out. "Ollie...! Ollie...! Can you hear me?!" she shouted. "Ollie?!"
Poppy heard footsteps, which made her turn her head to the trio; she was angry and approached them before looking at Michelle. "You... what have you done?!" she shouted. "Do you even understand what happened?"
Michelle remained silent and clung to Doey as Poppy looked away. "Safe Haven... and the Prototype; he..." she said, lowly, before gritting her teeth and looking at her. "Did you even plant the explosives?" Michelle trembled. "This mess is all your fault!" Poppy shouted.
Katelynn growled and slammed her foot on the ground, which caused it to crack a bit. "That's enough?!" she shouted, which made Poppy and Doey look at her. "Can't you see she's suffered enough?!"
Katelynn approached Poppy with her blue teeth extended. "Big Sister has put her life on the line time and time again without a second thought," she said. "The only reason Safe Haven is gone is because of your asinine plan."
Katelynn glared at Poppy as her body bubbled. "If anything, this whole mess is actually your fault, you shitty doll?!" she shouted. Most of the group looked at Katelynn, shocked, as she tried catching her breath.
Soon after, the phone started ringing, which made most of the group look at it. "Ollie?" Poppy asked. "Hey, what's going on? Where are you?" Ollie asked.
Poppy stared at the phone before looking down. "We're at the barracks..." she said. "And Safe Haven..." Poppy clung to the phone. "It's all gone..." she continued.
The phone remained silent. "I'm... sorry for all of the toys you've lost..." Ollie said. Most of the group stared at the phone. "But we can mourn for the dead later; right now, we need to reach the Labs and stop the Prototype," Ollie continued.
"Wow, that's a harsh thing to say." the group turned their head to the back and saw DogDay approach them. "What? DogDay is that you?" Ollie asked. When DogDay was close to the group, he sternly looked at the phone. "Not just me..." he said.
Soon after, the Safe Haven residents and Michelle's group emerged from hiding before approaching the small group. "Everyone who was in Safe Haven is alive and accounted for," DogDay continued.
"I... I don't understand..." Ollie said, lowly. Michelle lifted her head. "I knew it..." she said. Doey placed Michelle on the ground. "Misha? What's going on?" Ollie asked.
Michelle glared at the phone. "We decided to test your loyalty to our group," she said as she made a thumbs-down. "And I'm disappointed to say that you failed."
Ollie sounded baffled. "W-When did you—" Michelle placed her hands on her hips. "When did we come up with this plan? It happened hours ago."
(Flashback Begins)
Michelle opened the door to the memorial room and looked around. "No security cameras; that's good," she said before entering. Poppy and Kevin entered the room soon after, before the door closed. "What is it you want to talk about?" Poppy asked.
Michelle took a deep breath and exhaled. "What I'm about to say is bizarre, but bear with me," she said. Poppy and Kevin stared at Michelle as she turned to them. "I believe Ollie is the Prototype," she continued.
Kevin was shocked while Poppy's eyes widened. "Are you serious?" he asked. Michelle nodded. "I know it's crazy, but—" Poppy looked at her. "You're wrong?!" Michelle looked at Poppy. "Ollie can't be HIM; it's impossible!" she shouted. "There's no way it's him?!"
Michelle crossed her arms. "You know how the Prototype speaks, right?" she asked rhetorically. "He uses other people's voices and mimics them like a parrot."
Poppy looked down and clenched her fists. "It wouldn't be as far-fetched to say that the Prototype is mimicking Ollie's voice," Michelle continued.
Poppy sternly looked at Michelle. "You have no proof that HE'S mimicking Ollie's voice?!" she shouted. Michelle nodded. "You're right, I don't," she said. "But... we had someone who used to follow the Prototype."
Michelle looked at the door. "Isn't that right, CatNap?" she asked, which made the toys look at the door. "What the Angel said is right..." CatNap whispered. "When I served the False God, there were times I heard Ollie's voice mixed in his cacophony..."
Poppy's eyes widened before looking down. "And this plan you made with 'Ollie' would play in his favor because of one factor," Michelle said before looking at Kevin. "And that factor being Kevin."
Kevin looked at Michelle, shocked. "What? How am I an important factor?" he asked. Michelle faced Kevin. "Let me answer your question with a question," she said. "Besides Katie and me getting hurt or killed, what will cause you to crash out?"
Kevin placed his hand under his chin. "Besides you and Katie, it would be..." he said before realizing it. "The destruction of Safe Haven..." Michelle nodded. "And if I were the one to place the charges in the foundation..." she said.
Kevin's eyes widened, and he looked at Michelle. "He thinks I'll kill you just because you destroyed Safe Haven?!" he shouted before his body started bubbling. "That fucker; I'll tear him apart?!"
Michelle pointed at Kevin. "And that is what the Prototype will try to use," she said, which made him look at her. "Your anger is the key to it all. If you go in a rage so bad that you can't differentiate between friend or foe... it'll be the end of everything."
Kevin sighed as his body stopped bubbling. "I see... he thought ahead of this..." he said. Poppy looked at Michelle. "So then, what do we do?" she asked.
Michelle looked at Poppy. "For now, we'll play along," she said. "As we're playing along, the gadget Bubba is working on is the key for this plan to work."
Kevin crossed his arms. "You mean that sphere he's been working on?" he asked. Michelle nodded. "He said he was gonna try to use it to deactivate any security cameras and anything technological the Doctor has," she said.
Michelle looked at the duo. "Once the gadget is activated and everything shut down, we use the toy corpses around the area, make them look like living toys, and set them inside Safe Haven while the rest escape to a safer area, hiding," she continued.
Kevin hummed a bit. "Interesting..." he said. "But what if Bubba isn't able to make the device on time?"
Michelle sighed a bit. "While not ideal, we could have Scout in a hidden area and use that control panel she holds to turn the lights off," she said. "But I fear it'll be too... unnatural..."
Poppy looked at Michelle. "How will the other toys know when to start your plan?" she asked. Michelle placed her hand on her right shoulder. "We'll need a signal for that," she said. "I can comment that my shoulders are aching."
Poppy remained silent and looked down. "It might be best if we tell the larger toys about this plan," Kevin said. "I don't wanna freak out the smaller ones, and word might accidentally spread." Michelle nodded. "Good idea, but eventually, we'll have to tell them," she said.
Kevin nodded in agreement while Poppy looked at Michelle. "Now that I've told you two my plan, it's time we tell the others about it," she continued. The toys nodded before the trio approached the door.
(Flashback Ends)
Michelle glared at the phone. "After I obtained the Omni-Hand and the Prototype was luring Katie and Doey away from Safe Haven, we began our plan," she said.
(Flashback Begins)
Poppy entered the storage room and looked at Bubba Bubbaphant. "It's time," she said. Bubba Bubbaphant nodded as he grabbed the gadget with his trunk before throwing it in the air.
When the gadget hit the ground, the lights on it flickered before an electrical pulse shot off of it, which caused Safe Haven to go dark. "We've got one hour," Bubba Bubbaphant said as he picked the gadget up with his trunk. "Let's get to work."
Poppy nodded as the duo left the storage room. Mommy Long Legs, CatNap, KickinChicken, PickyPiggy, and Bubba Bubbaphant held toy corpses in their arms before placing them in different locations.
Hoppy Hopscotch, Poppy, and CraftyCorn guided the smaller toys to the unbarricaded shipping area. "C'mon, kiddos, keep moving," Hoppy Hopscotch said. A mini Kissy Missy looked at CraftyCorn while making worried chirps.
CraftyCorn looked at the mini Kissy Missy before kneeling and petting her head. "It's alright, little one; we're going somewhere much safer than here," she said. The mini Kissy Missy looked at CraftyCorn before nodding and approaching the opening.
When the lift with some of the smaller toys reached the top, Yarnaby, with the metal canister in his mouth, lowered to the ground before they got on him; soon after, he stood up and sprinted forward.
As Miss Delight, wearing Michelle's bag on her back, examined the cable car, Yarnaby got on the platform before lying on the ground, which made the smaller toys get off him.
Once the smaller toys entered the cable car, Miss Delight nodded before looking at DogDay. "Mr. DogDay, the cable car is full," she said. DogDay with Scout on his shoulder nodded before pulling the lever, which caused the cable car door to close before moving forward.
When the cable car was on the other side, the door opened, which revealed PJ Pug-A-Pillar and Bunzo Bunny riding on Pianosaurus's back. "Hi there; we'll be your guides," he said. After the toys climbed on PJ Pug-A-Pillar, Pianosaurus sprinted forward, which made him follow.
At the Mining Pit, Bobby BearHug with Medic on her shoulder, Huggy Wuggy with Simon Smoke on his shoulder, and Kissy Missy with the Mini Huggies holding her, guided the smaller toys to different hiding spots. "I want to say this is half the people in Safe Haven," Medic said.
"Hey!" The larger toys looked up and saw Bunzo Bunny waving while PJ Pug-A-Pillar climbed down the wall. "We've got more people coming your way!"
When PJ Pug-A-Pillar was on the ground, Kissy Missy approached him and petted his head. "Good boy," she said while the Mini Huggies happily chirped.
PJ Pug-A-Pillar happily panted and barked as the smaller toys got off him. Huggy Wuggy approached the smaller toys. "C'mon, losers, we gotta find you hiding spots," Simon Smoke said.
As Bobby BearHug watched Huggy Wuggy guiding the smaller toys and PJ Pug-A-Pillar climbed the wall, she heard static before looking at the walkie-talkie on her left side. "Bobby, do you copy?" DogDay asked.
Bobby BearHug grabbed a walkie-talkie on her left side before pressing the button. "Loud and clear, DogDay, over," she said before letting it go.
"The last of the smaller toys are riding the cable car, and the ones inside Safe Haven have finished setting things up; we'll be heading in your direction soon, over," DogDay said.
Bobby BearHug pressed the button on the walkie-talkie. "Roger that, DogDay, over and out," she said before letting it go. After Bobby BearHug placed the walkie-talkie back on her belt, she sighed and looked up. Be careful, you two... she thought before walking forward.
(Flashback Ends)
"You did all of this... just to test my loyalty?" Ollie asked. Michelle nodded. "That's correct; I was giving you the benefit of the doubt because you were Poppy's friend," she said before glaring at the phone. "But after this test we put up, you're not our ally."
Ollie sounded like he panicked. "Y-You're wrong; I am your ally," he said. "I helped you in Playcare; if I were your enemy, why would I help you? It wouldn't make sense, right, Poppy?"
Poppy remained silent before looking away. "Poppy...?" Ollie asked. Michelle glared at the phone. "The charade's over, Ollie!" she shouted. "Or should I say... Prototype?!"
The area went silent until they heard Ollie giggling; soon after, it turned into laughter, which scared the smaller toys. Soon after, the group heard a sigh. "You're a lot smarter than I thought," the Prototype said.
