Chapter 60 - Success

When Michelle entered the Infirmary, it was pitch black; she turned her flashlight on before looking around. "Misha," Michelle turned to the source and saw Huggy Wuggy standing before Kissy Missy and the Mini Huggies, holding her scared.

Michelle looked at the group. "Hey buddy..." she said. "Got any idea about the power being out?" Huggy Wuggy shook his head, which made Michelle sigh. "I figured as much," she continued before looking at the group. "C'mon, let's get to the main room."

Huggy Wuggy nodded as he wrapped his arm around Kissy Missy's arm before they approached Michelle. As Michelle stepped forward, she felt something hard before looking at the ground.

Michelle saw an orange VHS tape on the ground before picking it up. "Another time," she said before holding it under her arm. "Let's move." As the group moved forward and entered the main room, Michelle looked around. "I just hope the others are alright..." she said, lowly.

Michelle heard a 'psst' noise, which made her look at the generator room; she saw a dough arm make a 'come hither' motion before retracting.

The group approached the generator room and saw Doey, Katie, the mini Smiling Critters, the mini Kissy Missy, Poppy, Bunzo Bunny, Miss Delight, Scout, Medic, KickinChicken, and an unconscious Bubba Bubbaphant in the room.

After the group entered the generator room, Doey stretched his arms and pushed the door closed. "I'm glad you could make it back," he said.

Bunzo Bunny quickly approached Michelle and hugged her. "Welcome back, Big Sis..." he said, lowly. Michelle smiled and petted Bunzo Bunny's head before looking at Doey and Poppy. "Mind filling me in on what happened?" she asked.

Doey sighed a bit. "Everything was working fine until the power suddenly went off," he said. "After that, I could hear laughing in the storage room before it went quiet." Michelle nodded. "And the others?" she asked.

Poppy looked at the door. "DogDay and the others, including CatNap, Pianosaurus, Yarnaby, PJ, and Mommy, scattered around the area to keep HIM away from here..." she said. Michelle looked at Doey. "Has something like this happened before?" she asked.

Doey looked down. "The lights have flickered from time to time, but nothing like this has happened before..." he said.

Miss Delight and KickinChicken looked down; Michelle looked at the duo and noticed. "You two know something, don't you?" she asked. Miss Delight looked at Michelle before sighing. "It happened while you went after Kevin..." she said.

(Flashback Begins)

Miss Delight entered the storage room and saw Bubba Bubbaphant, as he squinted at the silver gadget on the table while holding tweezers with his trunk, moving wires.

Miss Delight knocked on the wall. "Mr. Bubba," she said, which made Bubba Bubbaphant look at her. "Are you alright? You've been in here for a long time..."

Bubba Bubbaphant sighed. "I'm doing alright..." he said as he focused on the gadget and moved a few wires with the tweezers. "This tech stuff is so technical that it calls for my full focus, especially with this task given to me."

Miss Delight looked at Bubba Bubbaphant. "While I can understand the importance of this task, I don't think Miss Misha would want you to overdo your limits," she said. Bubba Bubbaphant glanced at Miss Delight before sighing. "You're right..." he said, lowly.

Bubba Bubbaphant closed the small panel on the gadget. "I think I'll—" KickinChicken poked his head out. "Hey there!" Bubba Bubbaphant flinched as Miss Delight turned to KickinChicken. "Mr. Kickin', what brings you here?" she asked.

KickinChicken entered the room. "Well with a bummed leg, it's boring in this place," he said. "So I came in here if there's anything fun to do." KickinChicken looked at the gadget on the table before approaching it. "Hang on, is that..." he said, lowly.

Before KickinChicken got too close to the gadget, Bubba Bubbaphant's trunk wrapped around his arm, which shocked him. "Don't you dare..." he said, lowly.

When KickinChicken looked at Bubba Bubbaphant, he saw his glare, which made him flinch. "Don't you dare touch my gadget!" he shouted.

KickinChicken stared at Bubba Bubbaphant. "Are you still pissed about that one time I dropped it? It was an accident; I'm sorry," he said. Bubba Bubbaphant glared at KickinChicken. "This gadget on the table is more valuable than your life..." he said.

Bubba Bubbaphant trembled in rage. "And I won't have your filthy hands touching it?!" he shouted before slamming his hand against the table hard, which launched the gadget into the air. Miss Delight gasped and covered her mouth. "The gadget!" she shouted.

When Bubba Bubbaphant and KickinChicken looked at the back, the gadget hit the ground. The duo stared at the gadget. "Well... at least it—" the lights on the gadget started flickering, which shocked them.

Soon after, the gadget shot off an electrical pulse, which caused the lights to turn off and caused a few of the toys in the main room to scream. KickinChicken stared at the gadget, shocked. "What the hell...?" he said, lowly.

Bubba Bubbaphant started giggling, which made the duo look at him, concerned. Soon after, Bubba Bubbaphant started laughing. "It finally worked; it took days for me to finish this, but it finally works?!" he shouted.

When Bubba Bubbaphant finished laughing, he fell on KickinChicken, which made him hold him in place in a panic. "Woah, man!" he shouted before looking at Miss Delight. "Could you get Doey in here? I don't know how much longer I can hold this."

Miss Delight nodded before sprinting out of the room. KickinChicken looked at the gadget. The crazy man finally did it... he thought.

(Flashback Ends)

Michelle stared at the duo, shocked. "He actually did it?" she asked. Miss Delight nodded as she held the gadget out. "This gadget caused all of this," she said. Michelle looked at Bubba Bubbaphant. "And Bubba?" she asked.

KickinChicken looked at Bubba Bubbaphant. "Passed out after the gadget worked," he said. "I think the excitement that his gadget worked exhausted him."

Michelle approached Bubba Bubbaphant and petted his head. "You did a good job, Bubba; you rest up," she said. The lights in the generator room suddenly turned on, which made the group look up. "The power is back on," Katie said.

Michelle turned the flashlight off and closed its hatch before looking at the group. "Has anyone counted how long it's been since the power went out?" she asked.

Doey was thinking. "I want to say it was roughly an hour since the power was out," he said. Michelle hummed. "An hour will have to be enough..." she said before stretching her arms. "Now I need to pull my slack."

The others looked at Michelle. "Are you saying...?" Poppy asked. Michelle smiled at the group. "I think it's time I revisit the Doctor and take his Omni-Hand by force," she said.
