Michelle fell into the dark water before she started sinking. Michelle opened her eyes a bit and grunted a bit. Damn it... it's hard to breathe... she thought.
Light started glowing below Michelle, which made her look at it. This light... she thought before swimming down. As Michelle reached for the light, it engulfed the area.
Soon after, Michelle saw a dim lit room. "Where... am I?" she asked herself. Michelle tried lifting her arms, but she felt something hold her down, which surprised her.
Michelle looked down and noticed her wrists and ankles were restrained in belt-like restraints on a metal table. Michelle struggled to move her arms and legs. "Damn it; I'm stuck," she said. "Misha..." Michelle's eyes widened before she looked forward.
Michelle saw Suzy in the corner of the room, restrained by chains on her neck, wrists, and ankles, with parts of her body frozen. "Suzy!" she shouted before she tried moving her restraints again.
"Struggling is futile; those restraints have you held in place..." Michelle's blood ran cold before turning her head to the left. Soon after, Michelle saw one of the Doctor's mechanical bodies enter the room while pushing a whiteboard.
Michelle glared at the Doctor. "You... why the hell is Suzy in those restraints?" she asked. "You have me already; just let her go."
The Doctor deviously chuckled. "You're so naive, little germ..." he said. "Did you honestly think having you in my grasp would make me let go of 1332?"
Michelle growled a bit. "But don't worry, I'll let her go..." the Doctor continued before looking at her. "After I finish my procedure on you... Subject 1477."
When the Doctor spun the whiteboard on the other side, Michelle's eyes widened when she saw a diagram of a toy shaped like an angel with arms similar to the GrabPack's arms wearing a white dress. "Also known as Eve the Angel," he said.
Michelle stared at the diagram in horror as the Doctor turned away. "Now then, it's time for me to gather my supplies; I'll be right back," he said before walking forward.
When the Doctor left the room, Michelle gritted her teeth. "I have to get out of here..." she said, lowly, before she started pulling on her restraints.

In a white hallway inside a barred cage, Yarnaby lay on the ground. As Yarnaby looked down, he remembered the Doctor staring at him. Once I'm done with that germ, I'll make sure any memory you have of her will be erased," he said.
Yarnaby curled up on himself and whined; he heard steps, which made him jump a bit before standing up. When Yarnaby looked forward, he saw Pianosaurus approach the cage while making piano-like noises.
Soon after, CatNap appeared next to Pianosaurus. "Well, if it isn't the Doctor's little pet," he said. "I wasn't expecting to see you in a cage..."
Yarnaby growled and opened his mouth, which surprised CatNap. "That's new... when I ever mention him, you never growled before," he continued before humming. "Perhaps Angel changed your wicked ways as well?"
Yarnaby closed his mouth before whining and lying on the ground. CatNap stared at Yarnaby. "You want to save Angel, don't you?" he asked. Yarnaby lit up and looked at CatNap. "Well, today is your lucky day," he said.
A large shadow stood before the cage, before grabbing the bars and tearing them off. "We're here to save our Angel; if you comply with us, I'm certain your sins will be forgiven," CatNap continued. Yarnaby stared at CatNap before stepping out of the cage.
Yarnaby looked at Michelle's jacket wrapped around Pianosaurus's neck before approaching him and sniffing it. Yarnaby turned to the left before sprinting forward. "Let's move," CatNap said before they followed him.
...

...
Inside the room, Michelle pulled on her arms with a grunt, which made her hands hit the restraints and caused them to redden.
When Michelle stopped, she tried to catch her breath. "They make it look so easy in the movies," she said before she continued pulling her arms while grunting. Suzy slowly looked at Michelle as she pulled the restraints. "Misha..." she said, lowly.
Michelle looked at Suzy. "Hang on, Suzy; I'm gonna get you out of this," she said before pulling on the restraints with a grunt. "I hate to say it, but I think I have to dislocate my thumbs to get out of them."
Suzy looked down. "You shouldn't have come here..." she said, lowly. Michelle's eyes widened as she stopped pulling on her restraints before looking at Suzy. "If not for me... you wouldn't be stuck on that table..." she continued. "I'm sorry, Big Brother... it's all my fault she's like this..."
Michelle gritted her teeth with tears pricking her eyes. "No, it's not?!" she shouted. Suzy was shocked and looked at Michelle. "I chose to come to this place on my own!" she shouted. "Do you want to know why?"
Tears fell from Michelle's eyes as she smiled. "It's because I care about you..." she said. "I care about you just as much as your Big Brother does, and I'm not letting that fucker hurt you ever again..." Suzy stared at Michelle with awe. "Misha..." she said, lowly.
The door opened, which made Michelle look forward; she saw multiple mechanical bodies with medical equipment and small canisters in their hands, and a large canister with a small gas mask connected to it. "It's time we begin the procedure," the Doctor said.
Michelle growled and turned her head away. "Go fuck yourself," she said. Two of the mechanical bodies approached Michelle's sides and placed their hands on her shoulders before one of them grabbed under her chin and made her look forward.
Suzy watched in horror. "Stop..." she said, lowly. A different mechanical body grabbed the gas mask. "I'm going to enjoy this one..." the Doctor said before approaching Michelle; she panicked and tried moving away. "No, no, no; I don't want to be turned into a toy?!" she shouted.
Suzy's blue teeth extended as she gritted them and pulled on her chains. "Stop it..." she said. As the Doctor held the mask out to Michelle, she stared at it with tears pricking her eyes. "Stay away?!" she shouted.
Suzy was angry. "Stop it, stop it, stop it!?!" she shouted; as she roared, a child-like humanoid appeared inside as she pulled the chains out of the wall.
The metal pipes and debris above Suzy collapsed on her, which made the Doctor stop and look at it. "What on earth..." he said, lowly.
Something emerged from the debris, revealing a giant serpent-like creature made out of pink slime with large black eyes, long axolotl frills on its cheeks, and a large, creepy smile with large blue teeth and a child-like humanoid inside.

Michelle stared at the serpent-like creature with widened eyes as it made pained, angry noises. "Suzy..." she said, lowly. Suzy roared at the mechanical bodies as her tail shot toward the one holding the gas mask, which destroyed it.
The mechanical bodies stared at Suzy. "Even with being partially frozen from liquid nitrogen, she's still mobile," the Doctor said. Suzy growled as large pink slime arms came out of her body before reaching the mechanical bodies on Michelle's sides and lifting them.
As the other mechanical bodies dropped the supplies and charged toward Suzy, she roared as she swung the mechanical bodies in her hands, which destroyed them in the process.
Michelle watched in horror as Suzy slammed the mechanical bodies in her hands onto the ground, destroying them. The Doctor stared at Suzy as her arms retracted with a red eye. "You annoying glob of slime..." he said.
When the door opened, multiple mechanical bodies charged toward Suzy, which made her roar and destroy a few of them. Before the door could close, black claws dug into the wall before they tore it off, revealing CatNap.
Michelle smiled at CatNap. "CatNap!" she shouted. CatNap stepped into the room. "I brought the cavalry," he said. Yarnaby charged into the room and opened his mouth before biting a mechanical body's head and tearing it off.
As Pianosaurus entered the room, CatNap looked at him. "Take care of the Angel's restraints," he said. Pianosaurus nodded before sprinting toward Michelle; when he was close to her right side, he readied his claws before slashing the restraint on her right wrist.
Before Pianosaurus moved forward, a mechanical body stood before him, which made him stop. "You've made a terrible decision, 1163," the Doctor said. Before the mechanical body could do anything, a pink hand grabbed it, which shocked the Doctor before being lifted.
The duo looked forward and saw Mommy Long Legs with small burn marks and slash marks all over her chest and abdomen, with dried blood on them, and her right leg missing. "Mommy!" Michelle shouted.
Mommy Long Legs glared at the Doctor. "The only mistake I see here is you taking my little Misha away from me!" she shouted before slamming the mechanical body on the ground, which destroyed it.
As Yarnaby was slashing at a mechanical body on the ground, a different mechanical body was behind him. "You'll regret this, 1166," he said as he raised his arm. Before the mechanical body could do anything, a blue arm wrapped around it.
As the mechanical body turned his head back, the Doctor saw Huggy Wuggy with his blue bowtie wrapped around his missing lower left arm, slash marks with bloody stuffing inside being held by rope, and bandages wrapped around his chest, right arm, and left leg, growling at him.
After Pianosaurus slashed the remaining restraints, Michelle sat up and looked at Huggy Wuggy. "Huggy!" she shouted. Huggy Wuggy screeched. "Protect Misha!" he shouted before throwing the mechanical body at the wall, which made it hit the wall and crack behind it.
As the mechanical body landed on the ground, the Doctor stared at the group with a red eye. "All of you will pay for this... you'll all pay—" CatNap stepped on the screen, which destroyed it. "That's better..."
As Michelle got off the table and rubbed her wrists, Mommy Long Legs picked her up and hugged her. "Oh, I'm so glad you're alright, my little Misha," she said. "When CatNap said you were heading to the Doctor's lair, I was so scared..."
Michelle smiled as she hugged Mommy Long Legs. "I'm glad you're alright, too..." she said. When Mommy Long Legs placed Michelle on the ground, Huggy Wuggy approached her and kneeled. "Huggy miss Misha," he said.
Michelle smiled and petted Huggy Wuggy's cheek, which made him purr. "I missed you, too, buddy," she said. Suzy roared as she destroyed the remaining mechanical bodies, which made the other toys look at her.
The toys surrounded Michelle as Suzy tried catching her breath, growling. "Who or what is that?" CatNap asked. Michelle stared at Suzy with tears pricking her eyes as she roared. "It's Katie..." she said, lowly.
The other toys looked at Michelle. "Misha's friend?" Huggy Wuggy asked. Michelle nodded. "When the Doctor was trying to put the gas mask on me so he could turn me into a toy... she went berserk and destroyed all the mechanical bodies in this room..."
Suzy growled and faced the group; Yarnaby growled and opened his mouth while Pianosaurus made growl-like noises as he readied his claws.
Michelle looked at the larger toys as they got into fighting positions. No... I can't let this happen... she thought as tears fell from her eyes. Kevin... forgive me for what I'm about to do.

Suzy roared as she lunged toward the group until they heard singing, which made her freeze in place. As Suzy looked down, she saw Michelle approach her while singing. "Lay down your head and I'll sing you a lullaby... back to the years of loo-li lai-lay," she sang.
Suzy stared at Michelle. "And I'll sing you to sleep and I'll sing you tomorrow... bless you with love for the road that you go," The humanoid inside Suzy's mouth stared at Michelle as she sang a melodic tune. That song... she thought.
Suzy lowered herself as Michelle held her hands out. Soon after, Michelle gently held the humanoid's head. "May you sail far to the far fields of fortune... with diamonds and pearls at your head and your feet," she sang.
The humanoid stared at Michelle. "And may you need never to banish misfortune... may you find kindness in all that you meet," she sang.
Tears fell from Michelle's eyes as she lay her head against the humanoid's. "May there always be angels to watch over you... to guide you each step of the way," she sang. "To guard you and keep you... safe from all harm... loo-li, loo-li, lai-lay..."
The humanoid stared at Michelle as she sang a melodic tune. I... know this song... Suzy thought. In Suzy's mind, she saw a young Michelle singing to a young Katie, laying her head on her lap. This human... sang it to me... she thought before she and the humanoid closed their eyes.
Tears landed on the ground. "May you bring love and may you bring happiness... be loved in return to the end of your days," Michelle sang.
The other toys stared at the duo. "Now fall off to sleep, I'm not meaning to keep you... I'll just sit for a while and sing loo-li, lai-lay," Michelle sang.
Michelle closed her eyes. "May there always be angels to watch over you... to guide you each step of the way," she sang. "To guard you and keep you... safe from all harm... loo-li, loo-li, lai-lay..."
Michelle trembled. "Loo-li, loo-li, lai-lay..." she sang. The other toys stared at Michelle with somber eyes as she continued singing. When Michelle stopped singing, she sniffled a bit. I'm sorry... I had no choice... she thought.
Suzy's entire body started melting, which made Michelle look at her with widened eyes. "No, no, no, no," she said as she tried holding the humanoid's face. "Don't do this to me...!"
The humanoid's face slipped through Michelle's fingers before Suzy became a slime puddle on the floor. Michelle was mortified and collapsed to her knees. "I'm sorry; it's my fault!" she shouted.
As the toys slowly approached Michelle, tears fell from her eyes. "Please don't leave me and your brother! Come back to us, Katie?!" she shouted before covering her face.
Yarnaby whimpered a bit before approaching Michelle and gently rubbing his head against her right side as she cried. Pianosaurus made sad-like noises as he lay near Michelle's left side; the larger toys approached her and tried to console her.
Large hands came out of the slime puddle before placing them on the floor, which made the toys look at it. When Michelle looked forward, she saw Suzy pull herself out of the slime puddle before it returned to her.
However, the Suzy standing before the group had a tall, slimmer figure, a serious-looking face with longer axolotl frills on her cheeks, slightly larger hands, and a long axolotl tail. Michelle stared at Suzy, shocked. "Suzy...?" she asked.
Suzy opened her eyes and looked at Michelle. "You know... every time I heard you sing that song, I always slept halfway through it," she said. "Your singing voice always made me feel relaxed..."
Michelle's eyes widened as her tears fell from her eyes. "Katelynn..." she said, lowly. Katelynn smiled a bit. "I missed you, Big Sister..." she said.
Michelle quickly got up and sprinted toward Katelynn before hugging her. Michelle clung to Katelynn. "You have no idea how much I've missed you..." she said.
Katelynn softly smiled as Michelle cried with slime tears pricking her eyes before she wrapped her arms around her. "I probably have a pretty good idea..." she said, lowly, before the duo got on their knees.
The other toys approached the duo before circling them and comforting them. When Michelle pulled away, she wiped her tears before looking at Katelynn. "I think it's time we bring you back to your big brother," she said.
Katelynn frowned a bit and looked down, which concerned Michelle. "What's wrong?" she asked. Katelynn crossed her arms. "Do you still think he'll love me...?" she asked before looking at the destroyed mechanical bodies. "Even after everything I did in here..."
Michelle was heartbroken before holding part of Katelynn's hands, which made her look at her. "Of course, he still loves you; he even tried to barge into this place for you," she said.
Katelynn remained silent and looked down before they and the other toys stood up. "C'mon... let's get you home," Michelle continued.
Katelynn slowly nodded before the group turned to the hole and left the room. Before Yarnaby left, he spotted a medium-sized metal canister on the floor. Yarnaby opened his mouth and grabbed the canister before leaving the room.
