Chapter 75 - Deceit and Pain (Part 3)

Last Chapter: As Doey pulled debris away, he spotted Mommy Long Leg's hand. "There she is!" he shouted. One of the humanoids looked at the ground and noticed a few broken purple beads, which made his eyes widen. "No..." Doey said, lowly.

---

When Doey lifted the debris around Mommy Long Leg's hand away, the humanoids' eyes widened when they saw Michelle's arms. "This can't be happening..." Doey continued.

Doey pushed more debris around the area before lifting the large rock holding Mommy Long Legs's arm and throwing it to the other side.

Mommy Long Legs lifted her hand and pulled her arm away, which revealed Michelle with her eyes closed and blood coming from her head. "Did you find her, Doey?" Poppy asked. Doey stared at Michelle before he started trembling. "Doey?" Poppy asked.

Doey started melting before he formed into a puddle. Soon after, Kevin quickly pulled himself out of the puddle before sprinting toward Michelle. "Misha?!" he shouted. The other toys came out of the opening as Matthew and Jack reformed before following Kevin.

When Kevin was close to Michelle, he kneeled and held her in his arms. "Are you alright?!" he shouted. As Michelle's left hand dropped to the ground, her lower arm bent in a different direction, which made Kevin's eyes widen.

Dough arms sprouted out of Kevin's back before approaching Michelle's left arm. As the dough arms gently held Michelle's left arm, Kevin felt a few things poke his palms before carefully lifting it.

As the dough arms pulled part of Michelle's jacket sleeve, Kevin was mortified to see that her lower arm was red and purple, her fingers bent in different directions, and a few pieces of bone were sticking out with blood on them.

The group approached the couple, mortified. "This... this can't be happening..." Kevin said, lowly, before turning his head to the group. "Bobby, Medic, I need you; help her?!"

Bobby BearHug picked Medic up before sprinting toward the couple. Bobby BearHug knelt and held Medic out; he gently placed his claw against Michelle's lower arm and felt around before looking down.

Kevin looked at Medic. "Can't you do something?!" he shouted. Medic looked at Kevin, mortified. "Even with my medical expertise, nothing I can do will help her..." he said.

Kevin's eyes widened before he looked at Michelle. "If Misha's right arm is the same way I felt on her left, she needs a hospital to reform the bones in her arms and be placed in casts," Medic continued.

The group stared in horror. "No..." Kevin said, lowly, before shaking his head. "No, no, no, no... this can't be happening..." Kevin gritted his teeth before looking at Michelle. "You can't die on me, damn it!" he shouted. "What about your dream?!"

Kevin trembled. "You said you wanted to be a farmer whenever you got out of your orphanage," he said. "And you were gonna ask Katie and me if we would help..."

Dough tears landed on Michelle's face. "Back at No Man's Land, you said that I would think your dream was stupid... but you're wrong..." Kevin continued. "I would've loved the quiet lifestyle too..."

Kevin looked at Michelle as his dough tears continued falling. "And that wishful thinking part... I knew you were talking about me as your farmer husband..." he said. "I would've agreed to the proposal without a second thought..."

Kevin laid his forehead against Michelle's. "You can't die on me... please..." he said. As silence filled the room, Kevin growled and his body boiled before looking into the air. "PROTOTYPE!?!" he roared.

Kevin glared at the roof of the cave. "When I find you, I'll kill you with my bare fucking hands if I have to?! There will be nothing left of you!?!" he shouted. The larger group looked at the couple with tears falling from their eyes as Kevin cried.

Katelynn looked away with her mouth covered and slime tears falling from her eyes. "Big Sister..." she said, lowly. Yarnaby whimpered before letting go of the metal canister.

When Katelynn looked at the metal canister, she noticed paper coming out of it, which shocked her, before picking it up. "This canister..." she said, lowly, before grabbing one end.

Soon after, Katelynn twisted the canister open before grabbing the paper inside and looking at it. Katelynn's eyes widened before she sprinted toward the small group. "Big Brother!" she shouted.

Kevin turned his head to Katelynn when she was close. "There might be a way to save her," she said.

When Katelynn held the paper out, the small group saw a blueprint of mechanical arms with the GrabPack's hands. "These are blueprints on how to make Eve the Angel's arms," Katelynn continued.

Kevin stared at the blueprint. "If we give Big Sister these arms, she won't die on us!" Katelynn shouted. Kevin remained silent before looking at Medic. "Is she right...?" he asked. "Is something like this possible...?"

Medic looked at the blueprint before looking down. "Yes, it's possible," he said. "However, if we follow this blueprint... we would have to amputate her arms."

Kevin froze before looking down. "Is that... the only way...?" Michelle asked, which made his eyes widen. When Kevin turned his head to Michelle, her eyes were partially open. "Is cutting my arms off... my only option...?" she asked.

Medic looked at Michelle. "Unfortunately, yes..." he said. Kevin looked at Michelle. "Hang on, you want to go with this?" he asked. "You could die from it."

Michelle looked at Kevin. "Whether I get my arms amputated or not, I'm gonna die either way..." she said, which made him freeze up. "If my arms start to form blood clots, they'll block my heart and kill me..."

Tears pricked Michelle's eyes. "This pain, it's unbearable..." she said, lowly. "I want it to go away..." Dough tears pricked Kevin's eyes. "You do realize what you're asking us, right?" he asked.

Michelle turned her head to Kevin. "Yeah, I do..." she said. "You remember what I said back at Safe Haven, right...?"

Michelle weakly smiled. "I want to live my life with no regrets..." she continued. "And if this is how I die... I can die happy knowing that I saved another person's life..."

Tears fell from Poppy's eyes, and she covered her mouth. "Misha..." she said, lowly. Michelle looked at Kevin. "Ultimately... this decision is on you..." she said.

Kevin stared at Michelle, scared. "What if I make the wrong decision?" he asked. Michelle weakly chuckled. "I know you won't..." she said before smiling at Kevin. "Because you always make the right decisions..."

Kevin remained silent before looking down. Soon after, Kevin took a deep breath and exhaled before looking at Medic. "We're doing the operation," he said.

The large group looked at Kevin. "We'll need a suitable place to do it, along with those who have medical knowledge and mechanical knowledge," he continued.

Bobby BearHug stood up and looked at Kevin. "Obviously, Medic and I will come with you," she said. DogDay approached the small group. "I have some medical knowledge, but I don't know how much of a help I'll be," he said. "I can help in both fields if necessary."

Bubba Bubbaphant approached the small group. "I don't have much medical knowledge, but I can help with the mechanical knowledge," he said. Kevin looked at CatNap. "CatNap," he said, which made him look at him. "We need your Red Smoke. Please... help us..."

CatNap stared at Kevin. "You don't have to tell me twice, Kevin," he said before stepping forward. "Use my smoke however you please to save Angel." Kevin carefully stood up with Michelle in his arms. "Big Brother," Katelynn said, which made him look at her.

Katelynn held her right hand out before the red beaded bracelet emerged from her palm. "I kept the bracelets inside my body for safekeeping, but..." she said. Katelynn held the bracelet out to Kevin. "You can think of it as a luck charm," she continued.

Kevin stared at the bracelet before a dough arm grabbed it and the blueprints. "Thank you, Katie..." he said before looking at the others. "Let's move quickly." The said toys nodded as they sprinted away.

Inside one of the lab rooms, the group entered. "Place Misha on that metal table," Medic said; Kevin nodded as he quickly approached the metal table.

When Kevin was close to the metal table, he gently placed Michelle on it. "Kevin..." she said, which made him look at her. "I... I'm scared..."

Tears started falling from Michelle's eyes. "Even though I said all that stuff... I don't want to die..." she said before closing them. "I don't want to leave you two again..."

Kevin frowned before retracting his claws and gently wiping Michelle's tears away. "Don't worry... you're not leaving us behind..." he said, which made her look at him. "Even as a human, you're much stronger than all of us..."

Kevin gently laid his head against Michelle's. "I know without a doubt that you'll get through this too..." he continued. Michelle stared at Kevin. "Kevin..." she said, lowly.

Kevin gently kissed Michelle's forehead. "Stay strong, Misha... I'll be waiting for you..." he said; she sniffled a bit before nodding.

As Kevin stepped back, Bobby BearHug approached him while holding Medic in her hands. "Take Medic with you; we don't want him to get hit with the Red Smoke," she said.

Kevin stared at the red bracelet in one of his dough arms before putting it on his left wrist. "Right," he said before approaching Bobby BearHug. After Kevin held Medic in his hands, he approached DogDay and held the blueprints out to DogDay. "Here..." he said, lowly.

DogDay nodded as he grabbed the blueprints. "Don't worry, Kevin... she's in safe hands..." he said. Kevin remained silent before approaching the door. "I'll believe it when I see it," he said.

As the duo left the room, DogDay looked at CatNap. "CatNap..." he said. "It's time..." CatNap nodded before approaching Michelle; when he was close, he looked down. "Angel..." he said, lowly. When Michelle slowly turned her head to CatNap, she noticed he was trembling.

Michelle gently smiled at CatNap. "It's alright..." she said, which made him look at her. "You can use your gas on me... I won't hate you..." CatNap stared at Michelle before closing his eyes and taking a deep breath.

Soon after, CatNap blew out Red Smoke, which filled the room; Michelle felt the effects before her eyes started to close. CatNap looked at Michelle as things started going dark. "Don't worry, Angel..." he said. "When you wake up... you'll be as good as new..."
