As Michelle opened the door, she saw an open cave. "This must be No Man's land..." she said, lowly, before walking to the left.
Michelle looked at the tents scattered around the area. "Were these tents for the humans? Or were they here after the Hour of Joy?" she asked herself.
Michelle heard steps, which made her blood run cold; when she turned her head to the left, her eyes widened when she saw Pianosaurus staring at her while making music-like noises. Michelle panicked and started sprinting away, which made Pianosaurus sprint toward her.
Michelle turned her head to Pianosaurus. "Even after everything Suzy did to him, he's still alive!" she shouted before looking forward. "How can I lose him?!" Michelle's left foot tripped on a rock, which made her yell as she tumbled to the ground.
As Michelle sat up, Pianosaurus was getting closer to her. Before Pianosaurus got too close to Michelle, Yarnaby tackled him before they tumbled to the ground. Michelle looked at the duo, shocked, as they attacked each other.
Yarnaby opened his mouth before biting Pianosaurus's left leg, which made him scream with music-like noises. Pianosaurus scratched Yarnaby's front right leg, which made him yelp and let go before backing away.
As Pianosaurus stood up, Yarnaby growled with his mouth open; he made growl-like noises before they charged one another. Before the duo could do anything, they heard melodic music, which shocked them and made them stop.

The duo turned their heads to the source and saw Michelle singing the lovely tune. Yarnaby closed his mouth before he and Pianosaurus slowly approached Michelle and stared at her.
When Michelle stopped singing, she looked at the duo. "I'm glad to see you're not fighting anymore," she said.
Michelle looked at Pianosaurus's bite mark on his left leg and Yarnaby's scratch mark on his front right leg. "Both of you are hurt..." she said, lowly, before digging into her right jacket pocket.
Soon after, Michelle pulled out a rolled gauze. "The Doctor didn't make any mention of bringing supplies with me," she continued. When Michelle turned to Pianosaurus, he was hesitant and stepped back.
Michelle gently smiled. "It's OK... I'm not gonna hurt you..." she said. "All I want to do is patch you up..." Pianosaurus stared at Michelle before slowly stepping forward. "There we go..." she said, lowly, before kneeling to Pianosaurus's left leg.
Michelle undid the gauze a bit before wrapping it around Pianosaurus's left leg. "I don't have any of the alcohol wipes with me, so for now, we'll cover the wound," she continued.
When Michelle finished wrapping the gauze, she tore a bit and laid it on itself before standing up. "And since you've been a good dinosaur," she said as she dug into her right jacket pocket.
Soon after, Michelle pulled out a bag of cookies. "You deserve a treat," she continued before opening it and putting her hand in her bag. Soon after, Michelle pulled her hand out with a cookie in her fingers before holding it out to Pianosaurus with her palm.
Pianosaurus approached Michelle and sniffed the cookie in her hand. Soon after, Pianosaurus opened his mouth and carefully grabbed the cookie off Michelle's hand before eating it. Michelle smiled before turning to Yarnaby. "Alright, your turn," she said.
Yarnaby started growling at Michelle, which made her flinch a bit. Soon after, Pianosaurus stood before Michelle and made growl-like noises at Yarnaby, which surprised her.
Michelle smiled a bit and petted Pianosaurus's head, which surprised him and made him look at her. "Thank you for defending me, but I got this," she said. Pianosaurus stared at Michelle before stepping to the side.
Michelle looked at Yarnaby and knelt before him. "I know you're loyal to the Doctor... and even though we're enemies, I don't want to see them hurt," she said. "I bet he doesn't want to see you hurt too..."
Yarnaby stared at Michelle before lying on the ground and raising his right front leg, which made her smile. As Michelle wrapped the gauze around Yarnaby's leg, he stared at her.
When Michelle finished wrapping the gauze and tucked it in, she stood up and dug her hand into the cookie bag. "You deserve a treat for being good, too," she said before pulling a cookie out and holding it out in her palm.
Yarnaby stared at the cookie with hesitance. "You still trust don't trust me, huh?" Michelle asked. Michelle thought of something. "How about we try this..." she said before tossing it in the air. As Yarnaby looked at the cookie, Michelle caught it with her mouth before eating it.
Michelle grabbed another cookie out of her bag and held it out. "Wanna try it now?" she asked. Yarnaby eagerly nodded and opened his mouth, which made Michelle giggle a bit. "Alright, here it comes," she said before tossing it in the air.
Yarnaby leaped toward the cookie and chomped on it. When Yarnaby landed on the ground, he chewed the cookie while purring.
Michelle giggled and approached Yarnaby before placing her hand on his head, which made him stop. "Good boy," she said as she petted his head.
When Yarnaby turned his head to Michelle, she flinched a bit and quickly removed her hand. "Sorry, that was pure instinct..." she said, lowly. Yarnaby stared at Michelle as she cleared her throat. "A-Anyway, we shouldn't keep the Doctor waiting," she continued.
Pianosaurus approached the duo while making piano-like noises. Michelle tied the cookie bag before putting it and the gauze in her jacket pocket. "I'm sorry, Pianosaurus, but you can't come with me..." she said.
Pianosaurus looked down while making sad piano-like noises, which broke Michelle's heart. Michelle crossed her arms and looked down before thinking of something and looking at her jacket.
Michelle unzipped her jacket and took it off before approaching Pianosaurus and wrapping her jacket sleeves around his neck. "You can hold onto this while I'm not here," she said.
Pianosaurus stared at Michelle as she turned to Yarnaby. "We should get going," she continued. Yarnaby stared at Michelle before approaching the gate, which made her follow him.
When the duo was close to the gate, it started opening; when they entered the area, it closed afterward. Pianosaurus approached the gate before looking at it while making worried music-like noises.
As the duo walked forward, Michelle turned her head to the right and saw a few toy corpses, which made her shudder a bit. "These poor toys..." she said, lowly, before they turned to the left. When the duo was close to the crane, they saw a large gap.
Michelle looked up and saw a hook hanging from above. "If I had my GrabPack, that would be an easy grab..." she said, lowly.
Yarnaby looked at Michelle before laying the ground as he made a low grunt. Michelle turned to Yarnaby. "Do you... want me to climb on your back?" she asked.
Yarnaby nodded, which made Michelle smile a bit. "I'm glad you'll let me ride your back," she said before approaching him. After Michelle climbed on Yarnaby's back, he stood up and started backing away.
When Yarnaby looked forward, Michelle wrapped her arms around his neck before he sprinted forward. Soon after, Yarnaby jumped to the other side before his feet dragged on the ground.
Michelle unwrapped her arms around Yarnaby's neck before looking at him. "Good job, boy," she said. As Michelle held her hand out to Yarnaby, she stopped herself and looked away. Before Michelle pulled her hand back, Yarnaby placed his face in it.
Michelle looked at Yarnaby, surprised, as he purred; she smiled a bit before petting his head. "Good boy..." she said, lowly. Soon after, Michelle stopped petting Yarnaby and looked forward. "Let's go," she said. Yarnaby looked forward before he started walking.
Soon after, the duo saw a large door. "Is this a way to get inside?" Michelle asked. Soon after, the doors started opening, which made them look at it. Michelle took a deep breath and exhaled as Yarnaby entered the room.
As the doors behind them closed, Michelle looked around the silver room. I'm not seeing any forms of escape, not like that it'll help me without my GrabPack, she thought.
"Ah, you brought her..." Michelle flinched a bit and looked forward; she saw one of the Doctor's mechanical bodies wearing a white cloak. The Doctor walked toward the duo. "Now then, it's time for you to come with me, little germ," he said.
As the Doctor held his hand out to Michelle, Yarnaby turned to him with a growl, which shocked them. Michelle looked at Yarnaby. "Yarnaby?" she asked. The Doctor looked at Yarnaby. "What's the meaning of this, Yarnaby; hand the germ to me," he said.
Yarnaby growled as he opened his mouth; the Doctor stared at him before the eye on his screen turned into a large, chaotic red one. "So she infected you, too," he said.
Yarnaby roared as he tackled the Doctor's mechanical body before biting the screen, which destroyed it. Yarnaby's claws dug into the mechanical body before tearing it apart.
Yarnaby tossed the TV screen to the side and panted a bit; Michelle looked at him. "Why did you do that?" she asked.
Yarnaby turned his head to Michelle before laying his head against her leg while purring; she stared at him before smiling a bit and petting his head.
"So you managed to tame 1166 as well..." the duo was shocked and looked around. "Your affection for these creatures is a disease."
Michelle glared at the intercom. "They're not creatures! They were human beings like us; something you and your scientists wouldn't grasp?!" she shouted. "There's your sickly sentiment again... you remind me of that woman that bastard Leith trusted," the Doctor said.
Michelle growled. "Stella and I are nothing alike?! The only difference between me and her is I have the balls to say this is wrong!" she shouted.
Yarnaby looked at Michelle. "The toys you turned were once orphan kids; you have no right to play God with them?!" she shouted. "No right to play God, you say..." the Doctor said before he started laughing. "In this factory's science field, there is no God..."
Red Smoke started filling the room, which shocked the duo. "The only thing that's important to me is reaching my goals," the Doctor continued. "One of my new goals is dealing with you..."
Yarnaby charged toward the door and slammed his body on it, which made Michelle hold onto him. Michelle felt the effects of the gas and started coughing as Yarnaby kept banging on the door. "Stop it, Yarnaby! You'll tire yourself out even more!" she shouted.
As Yarnaby kept banging on the door, he started slowing down. Soon after, Yarnaby collapsed on the ground, which made Michelle roll off him.
Michelle stared at Yarnaby as her vision blurred up and slowly raised her hand. "Yarna... by..." she said, lowly, before falling into unconsciousness.

Outside No Man's Land, Pianosaurus paced around the door before looking at it while making worried music-like noises. Pianosaurus heard steps, which made him flinch and turn to the back while making growl-like noises.
Pianosaurus froze when he saw CatNap staring at him, which made him tremble. "So you're the toy that attempted to attack Angel back in that cell," he said.
CatNap looked at Michelle's jacket wrapped around Pianosaurus's neck. "But it seems like she's already forgiven your transgressions... that would be something my Angel would do," he continued.
Pianosaurus turned his head to the door while making worried music-like noises. "You're worried about Angel, aren't you?" CatNap asked. Pianosaurus looked at CatNap before nodding. "There's no need to worry, new follower..." he said.
CatNap remembered Michelle getting close to his ear. "Find them; I'll edit or add to the plan as I move forward," she whispered.
Two large shadows emerged, which made Pianosaurus stare at them while making shocked music-like noises. "The Angel's cavalry has arrived," CatNap said.
