After the duo got on the lower floor, they saw the large gate open with a shutter and a small room on the side. As the duo went through the open gate, Michelle stared at the shutter. "That's the place where Yarnaby took me when I was the Doctor's prisoner..." she said, lowly.
Katelynn looked at Michelle. "Don't worry, Big Sister," she said before raising her arms. "You got me to take care of that bastard with you."
Michelle flinched a bit before looking at Katelynn. "While I appreciate it, you shouldn't be saying curses..." she said.
Katelynn angrily pouted at Michelle and crossed her arms. "You're being a huge hypocrite; you and Big Brother curse all the time, but when I do it's like the end of the world..." she said.
Michelle looked at Katelynn with a sweatdrop before sighing and looking away. "Alright, but don't turn out like your brother or me," she said.
Katelynn stared at Michelle before giggling a bit. "I can try, but I can't make promises since I'm a Barnes," she said before pointing at her, which made her look at her, surprised. "And you'll be a future Barnes, too."
Michelle stared at Katelynn with a blank expression until her face turned red, and she looked at her with angry eyes. "Don't start saying ridiculous stuff!!" she shouted.
Katelynn giggled before looking at the cave opening on the right. "That should take us to a different path," she said.
Michelle quickly shook her head, which made the redness on her face disappear before quickly approaching the opening. "Then let's get going!" she shouted, which made Katelynn nod and follow behind her.
When the duo was on the other side, they heard the intercoms go off, which surprised them and made them look around. "Ah, and here you are; just as I expected," the Doctor said. "And it appears you are every bit what the Prototype fears."
The duo glared at the intercoms. "As much as I don't like the bastard, I can see why Leith wanted you in Playcare," the Doctor continued. "Your tenacity and intelligence got you here thus far..."
Katelynn growled as her fingertips turned into claws. "But I'm curious... why come here when you could've stayed back at your old orphanage and not deal with this place?" the Doctor asked. "Was it really to find answers for your missing friends... or is there more to it?"
When the intercom turned off, Michelle stared at it before looking down with a slight frown. Katelynn glanced at Michelle and noticed her expression, which made her retract her claws before looking at her, concerned. "Big Sister?" she asked.
Michelle took a deep breath and exhaled before looking at Katelynn. "You're probably wondering about what the Doctor asked, right?" she asked.
Katelynn remained silent and looked down, which made Michelle sigh and look away while holding her right arm in her left hand. "The caretakers in my orphanage were talking about kicking me out when I turned eighteen," she said.
Katelynn looked at Michelle, shocked. "Since I knew they were gonna throw me out on the streets, I decided that it was better to do it now than have them do it months later," she continued. "I gathered what I could in my bag and left without a trace."
Michelle crossed her arms. "Since a few days have apparently passed, I'm not sure if they have a missing flier for me or if they even cared to look around..." she said before turning away with a frown. "Sometimes... I wonder if they even cared about me at all..."
Katelynn frowned before approaching Michelle and wrapping her arms around her, which surprised her. "Well, you have us that care about you..." she said.
Michelle turned her head to Katelynn before gently smiling and petting her head. "Thanks for that, Katie..." she said, lowly.
Michelle looked at the wall and saw a warning sign about high voltage, which concerned her. I kinda hope that doesn't happen while we venture through here, she thought.
Michelle turned her head to the rocky ramp. "We'll need to get on that ramp," she said.
Katelynn nodded before lifting Michelle to the rocky ramp; after she got on it, they climbed it before getting on the catwalk.
When the duo turned left, they saw liquid nitrogen coming out of the blue pipe, which made Katelynn shiver and cross her arms, uncomfortably. "Those bring back bad memories..." she said, lowly.
Michelle spotted a different path with stairs above the liquid nitrogen. "There's a different path we can take to pass the liquid nitrogen," she said.
Katelynn nodded as the duo approached the path before climbing the stairs. After the duo went down the stairs, they approached the ledge and saw more liquid nitrogen on the lower floor.
Michelle turned her head to Katelynn. "Why don't you stay here? I'll try to find a way to stop the liquid nitrogen near this opening," she said.
Katelynn nodded as Michelle approached the left side of the ledge before jumping down. After Michelle landed on the ground, she stood properly and looked around the room before twisting the knob, switching from the orange hand to the red hand.
Michelle looked at the handle on the blue pipe before aiming at it and pulling the right trigger. The red hand shot forward and grabbed the handle and pulled on it.
After Michelle retracted the red hand, the handle moved forward, which stopped the liquid nitrogen. Katelynn jumped down and landed on the ground before approaching Michelle as she looked around.
Soon after, Michelle spotted a machine with a blue keycard slot on it. "There's a blue keycard around here somewhere," she said before walking forward, which made Katelynn follow behind.
When the duo was close to the tent, Michelle walked around it until she spotted a turn handle before aiming at it and pulling the left trigger.
The blue hand shot forward and grabbed the yellow handle before turning it, which stopped the liquid nitrogen. "That tent probably has something important," Michelle said.
Katelynn entered the tent and looked around before spotting a blue keycard on the desk. Katelynn approached the desk and picked up the blue keycard before approaching the opening; as she stepped out of the tent, Michelle approached her. "I found the keycard," she said.
Michelle nodded. "Nice; now to take it to the machine," she said.
Katelynn nodded before the duo approached the machine; when they were close to it, she put the keycard inside the slot. The large door on the left slid up, which made the duo look at it. "Time to move," Michelle said before they walked forward.
After the duo climbed the ramp, they circled a bit before going right; when they reached the end of the pathway, the door on the left slid up, which made them enter.
As the door closed behind the duo, they saw a morgue with multiple freezers, a couple of stairs leading to the higher floor with a deactivated saw blade at the center, and a computer with a blue hand scanner next to it. "What is this place?" Katelynn asked.
Michelle looked around the area. "Some kind of morgue; they use it to store dead bodies," she said.
Soon after, Michelle's eyes caught a large glass pane on their left before approaching it. When Michelle looked through the glass, her eyes widened when she saw a pair of lungs in a large vital machine on the other side. "Are those... lungs?" she asked.
Katelynn approached Michelle and looked through the glass. "Not just any pair of lungs; I bet they're the Doctor's," she said, which made her look at her.
Katelynn looked at the plug on the machine. "Maybe if we give that machine too much power, it'll fry those lungs up," she continued.
Michelle looked at the blue hand scanner beside the door before approaching it. "It looks like this calls for a blue hand," she said before looking at the blue pipe with a hole next to it. "However... I have a bad feeling about this..."
Michelle turned her head to the back and saw a blue hand with the wire exposed. "Katie, can you cut the wire that's connected to that blue hand?" she asked.
Katelynn looked at the wire with a hum before approaching the stairs closest to her. "I can try," she said before climbing them.
When Katelynn was close to the wire, the right hand of her fingertips turned into sharp claws and raised her arm before swinging it down.
The wire moved down a bit, but it was unfazed, which made Katelynn pout a bit and pull her hand away while her claws retracted. "Damn it, it didn't work..." she said.
Michelle hummed. "That's what I figured..." she said before looking at the saw blade. "I bet that saw blade will do the trick, but it's gonna need a battery."
Michelle looked at Katelynn. "Katie, stand by the stairs; my gut is telling me this is a trap, and unfortunately, to move forward, we have to activate it," she continued. "When those hatches turn green, find the battery and plug it into that saw so you can cut the wire."
As Katelynn stood by the stairs, she looked at Michelle, concerned. "What about you?" she asked.
Michelle took a deep breath and exhaled before aiming at the blue hand scanner. "Someone has to activate the trap," she said before pulling the left trigger, launching the blue hand, and touching it.
When the scanner finished, liquid nitrogen sprayed out of the pipe, which froze the blue hand in place. "Showtime," Michelle said.
When the hatch lights turned green, Katelynn reached the bottom of the stairs and quickly opened the hatches. "You're aware that the employees here are dead by the experiments, yes?" the Doctor asked rhetorically.
Soon after, Katelynn found the battery in the third hatch before grabbing it and quickly approaching the saw blade. "Poppy's sold you her story, of course," the Doctor said. "Innocence is bliss... and she is OH so innocent."
Michelle felt the cold coming from the wire, which made her grit her teeth. "Did she ever tell you her part in the Hour of Joy? That she knew it was coming?" the Doctor asked. "Or did she leave out that crucial detail?"
After plugging the battery into the saw blade, Katelynn grabbed the handle before pulling it to the wire, which cut it and caused the blue hand to drop to the ground. "Yes, that wouldn't surprise me," the Doctor said.
Michelle started shivering. "Has she not strung you along, betrayed you, and told you only what you needed to know to do exactly as she asked?" the Doctor asked.
Michelle glared at the intercom as Katelynn picked the blue hand up. "You've seen what they do to each other; all they want is violence," the Doctor said. "Look around... evidence for it is everywhere."
Michelle heard the Doctor sigh. "Once they had choice, once they were 'free', THIS was their creation. They've made Hell real, and trapped us BOTH there," he continued.
Michelle growled a bit. "Hurry, Katie," she said.
Katelynn quickly approached the computer on the left and placed her blue hand on the scanner, activating it.
When the scanner finished, the door opened, and the liquid nitrogen coming out of the pipe stopped, which made Michelle retract her blue hand before collapsing to her knees, shivering.
Katelynn dropped the blue hand and quickly approached Michelle before kneeling before her. "Big Sister!" she shouted.
Michelle placed her right hand on her left arm and quickly rubbed it up and down. "I... I-I'm alright..." she said, lowly. "Now I know how you and Matthew felt when subjected to that..."
Katelynn frowned a bit and looked down. "Poppy... did she actually know that the Hour of Joy would happen?" she asked.
Michelle stared at Katelynn with a slight frown before looking down. Soon after, Michelle gripped her arm and stood up, which made Katelynn look at her. "We can worry about that later..." she said.
Michelle turned her head to the left and saw the plug before aiming at it and pulling the left trigger, launching the blue hand and grabbing it before retracting. "Let's plug this into his lungs," she continued.
Katelynn nodded and stood up before the duo approached the opening. When the duo was inside the room, Michelle aimed the cord at the plug before pulling the left trigger, launching the blue hand and plugging it.
After Michelle retracted the blue hand, the duo saw the lungs inside the vital chamber start to freeze up before shattering into pieces. "Let's get the hell out of here," she said.
Katelynn nodded as they got out of the room; soon after, they saw a door in the back slide up before climbing the stairs and approaching it.
