Soon after, the group entered a room with multiple crates scattered around the area. As the group climbed the ramp, the ground shook, which shocked them, before a cable holding a large yellow crate above the ground disconnected.
After the yellow crate hit the ground, Michelle looked around the large structure made with large rectangular crates and a few pallets before spotting an opening on the top left. "That direction should allow us to move forward," she said before walking forward.
When Michelle stood near the large yellow crate next to two pallets, she looked at the area with a few crates before aiming both arms at a red crate.
The blue hand and Omni-Hand shot from Michelle's wrists and grabbed the red crate before she pulled it toward her and lined it with the large yellow crate.
After Michelle let go of the red crate, she aimed at the small blue crate before the blue hand and the Omni-Hand shot from her wrists and grabbed it.
As Michelle pulled the small crate toward her, she felt a burning pain through her arms, which made her wince and quickly let go of it.
After the blue hand and Omni-Hand retracted to Michelle's wrists, she gripped her upper arms with gritted teeth and collapsed to her knees, which shocked the group before they quickly approached her. "Are you alright, Big Sister?" Katelynn asked.
Michelle grunted a bit, and her grip on her arms tightened. "It's... my arms..." she said, lowly, through gritted teeth.
Doey looked at Michelle, worried, before turning his head to Medic. "What's happening to her, Doc?" he asked.
Medic looked down with somber eyes. "Unfortunately, this is phantom pain," he said. "This happens after amputation; it's caused by the brain reorganizing after losing sensory input, causing it to misinterpret signals from severed neurons."
The Mini Huggies looked at Michelle with worried chirps, which made Huggy Wuggy look at them before looking at Medic with a slight frown. "Can Doc do something?" he asked.
Medic looked at Huggy Wuggy. "The only thing we can do is give her painkillers; that should help with the pain at least," he said before looking down. "However, the painkillers in this place would be less effective on her."
DogDay remembered something and looked at the group. "Hang on, the first-aid kit in Misha's bag; I remember seeing a bottle in it when we were in Pianosaurus's enclosure," he said. "That bottle might be some sort of painkiller."
Doey nodded as he quickly grabbed the zipper on Michelle's bag before quickly unzipping it. Doey looked inside Michelle's bag before grabbing the first-aid kit and the water bottle out of it.
After Doey placed the water bottle on the ground, two dough arms sprouted out of his back before they grabbed the first-aid kit.
When Doey opened the first-aid kit, he saw a cylindrical bottle before grabbing it; he turned it to the label and saw the word 'Advil' on it. "Perfect," he said before carefully opening it.
Doey held his hand out and carefully tapped the Advil bottle, which made two pills fall out of it. After Doey closed the Advil bottle and placed it on the ground, he grabbed the water bottle and untwisted the cap before holding it and the pills toward Michelle. "Here..." he said.
Michelle nodded as she carefully grabbed the pills and put them in her mouth before grabbing the water bottle and drinking from it. Michelle pulled the water bottle away from her mouth with a sigh before holding it out to Doey. "Thanks..." she said, lowly.
Doey nodded as he grabbed the water bottle before twisting the cap back on. Doey grabbed the Advil bottle before it, and the water bottle went inside his body. "I'll keep these two inside me in case the pain comes back," he said before closing the first-aid kit, and the dough arms on his back retracted inside him.
Michelle nodded as Doey put the first-aid kit back in her bag. "Good idea..." she said, lowly, as he zipped it back up.
As Michelle slowly stood up, Doey grabbed the bag's straps before taking it off her, which made her look at him. "And with what you're going through, someone else will be carrying this," he said before looking at Miss Delight. "Miss Delight?"
Miss Delight nodded and approached Doey. "If it's to help Miss Misha, I will carry her bag again," she said.
Doey nodded as he helped Miss Delight put Michelle's bag on her back; unbeknownst to the group, Poppy stared at the interaction. When Poppy turned her head to Michelle, she frowned before looking away, which made Kissy Missy look at her before petting her head.
Doey approached the small crate and picked it up; after he placed it next to the red crate, he turned his head to the rest of the group. "We should keep moving," he said.
The group nodded as some of them climbed the crates while others went over them. Doey stood beside Michelle as she climbed the crates. "You know you don't have to baby me all the time," she said before getting on top of a pallet.
Doey grabbed the top of the large crate and pulled himself up before getting on the pallet. "I know, but you also know that I'm going to worry about you all the time," he said before looking at Michelle. "Especially when we get out of this place..."
Michelle chuckled a bit and placed her hand against Doey's cheek. "You three are too good to me," she said.
Doey smiled as Michelle removed her hand before they climbed the ramp; when they got to the top, they saw a small hole.
Michelle jumped down before going through the small gap, which made Doey jump down and follow behind. When the duo was on the other side, the ground shook a bit before a small red crate fell away from the group.
After the duo landed on the lower ground, DogDay looked at the large vent grille. "We'll need that vent grille out of the way," he said before looking at Bubba Bubbaphant and KickinChicken. "Bubba, Kickin'."
Bubba Bubbaphant and KickinChicken nodded. "On it," they said as they placed the smaller toys in their arms before approaching the large vent grille.
Bubba Bubbaphant placed his trunk on one end of the vent grille, while KickinChicken placed his hands on the other before they started pulling on it.
Michelle looked at some of the group. "Well, besides the Nightmare Critters being gone for two weeks, did anything else happen while I was unconscious?" she asked.
Katelynn smiled at Michelle and wrapped her arms around her before laying her head on top of hers. "Two weeks ago, it was my birthday," she said.
Michelle smiled at Katelynn. "Was it?" she asked rhetorically before petting her head. "Happy late birthday, Katie."
Katelynn giggled a bit while her tail wagged before Michelle stopped petting her head and looked at the others. "Anything else?" she asked.
Bobby BearHug looked at Michelle. "Well, nothing too important..." she said before looking down. "Except..."
Michelle looked at Bobby BearHug. "Except?" she asked.
Bobby BearHug looked at Michelle. "After we finished cauterizing your arms, we placed your broken lower arms in a different room," she said. "However, the next day... they disappeared."
Michelle realized something before her face went slightly pale. "You don't think they... ate my lower arms, do you?" she asked.
CatNap looked at Michelle. "If that were the case, they would have discarded the broken bones," he said.
Some of the group sternly looked at CatNap, which made him look away. "At least that's what I would've done back then, but I wouldn't do it now," he continued before lowering his head to Michelle. "That would certainly upset Angel."
Michelle smiled a bit and petted CatNap's head. "And that is something I do appreciate," she said, which made him purr.
Soon after, Bubba Bubbaphant and KickinChicken pulled the vent grille off the vent before setting it to the side. "It's done, DogDay," Bubba Bubbaphant said.
DogDay nodded as Bubba Bubbaphant and KickinChicken picked up the smaller toys they held before grabbing the small red crate and placing it near the opening. "Let's keep moving," he said.
The group nodded as they went through the opening with the small crate. After Doey got through the opening, he helped Michelle get through the opening before the group walked forward.
After the group got to a lower part of the floor and walked forward a bit, a vent grille above them fell, which made Michelle look at it with a flinch; Doey slightly grinned at her. "Jumpy much?" he asked.
Michelle slightly glared at Doey. "Shut up, Kevin," she said before walking forward.
When Michelle was near the second vent grille, Boxy Boo's arm shot through it with a roar, which made her scream and back away. After Boxy Boo's arm retracted, Michelle looked at the group. "Run!!" she shouted before they sprinted forward.
Soon after, the group got on a conveyor belt moving against them before running against it. Michelle spotted an Omni-Hand scanner before aiming her right arm at it.
The Omni-Hand shot from Michelle's wrist and touched the scanner; soon after, the gate in front of them opened. Michelle spotted another Omni-Hand scanner and aimed her right arm at it; the Omni-Hand shot from her wrist and touched the scanner.
When the gate opened, the group saw Boxy Boo roaring at them and destroying the objects in front of him as they got off the conveyor belt. "To the left!" Michelle shouted.
When the group turned left, Michelle spotted a jump pad on the ground before twisting the knob. The Omni-Hand inside Michelle's arm and the purple hand appeared before sprinting forward and aiming at the jump pad. "I hope this works," she said.
The purple hand shot from Michelle's wrist and hit the jump pad, launching her to the other side before landing on the sturdy part of the broken catwalk.
As Michelle entered the room, Doey stretched the upper half of his body and grabbed the broken catwalk before forming himself into a bridge, which made the rest of the group cross.
After Doey reformed himself with the group, they looked at Boxy Boo on the other side as he roared at them and slammed his fist against the jump pad, destroying it, before turning away and walking forward.
The group stared at the opening while trying to catch their breath. "We lost him... for now..." Poppy said, lowly.
Michelle turned around and spotted a large room with a text reading 'Engineering' above it before looking at the group. "In here," she said before walking forward, which made them follow.
As the group entered the room, the door closed behind them before liquid started spraying on them, which made some of them cover their faces. "What is this room?" Katelynn asked.
Michelle noticed blue horizontal lights on the walls before they started moving down. "It must be some kind of decontamination zone..." she said as they went back up.
When the blue lights disappeared and the liquid stopped spraying, the door opened, revealing fire coming out of the pipes. "Well, that's just great..." Michelle said, lowly, before the group entered.
Pianosaurus turned his head to the left and made music-like noises before going down the steps, which surprised the group. "Pianosaurus?" Michelle asked.
When Michelle looked in Pianosaurus's direction, she spotted a valve before approaching him and petting his head. "Nice find," she said.
Pianosaurus made happy music-like noises before Michelle aimed her left arm at the valve. The blue arm shot from Michelle's wrist and grabbed the valve before she started turning it, which made the fire near the stairs disappear.
The blue hand retracted to Michelle's wrist. "One down, one to go," she said before she and Pianosaurus climbed the stairs.
After the group went down the stairs, they saw a valve connected to a red machine with a red light above it, and a white square with footprints at the center.
When Michelle stepped in the white square, the light turned green before she aimed her right arm at the valve. The purple hand shot from Michelle's wrist and grabbed the valve before it started turning.
After Michelle finished turning the valve and the purple hand retracted to her wrist, the group heard a crashing noise from the wall above and created an explosion, which made the group cover their eyes while the smaller toys screamed.
When Michelle uncovered their eyes, they widened when she saw Boxy Boo above them looking around. When Boxy Boo turned to the group, he roared and bent the fence. "Just how persistent is he?!" Michelle shouted before she and the group quickly climbed the stairs.
As Boxy Boo landed on the ground near the mechanism, the group looked at the large hole near the fire. "Through here!" Michelle shouted.
As the group went through the hole and turned right, Michelle spotted a large creature with red fur walking forward in the distance before the elevator doors closed. What the hell was that? she thought.
DogDay spotted an elevator on the left side. "Get inside the elevator, quickly!" he shouted.
Michelle glanced back and spotted Boxy Boo as he reached the top before twisting the knob, retracting the purple hand inside her arm, and the orange hand appeared.
While the group ran, Michelle stopped and aimed the orange hand at Boxy Boo as he ran forward. "Maybe I can buy some time for the others," she said.
As Michelle reached for the trigger, Boxy Boo let out a terrifying roar, which made her freeze in terror before she started trembling. Come on, damn it; do something to help them... anything... she thought.
Before Boxy Boo got too close to Michelle, a dough arm wrapped around her waist before she was pulled away; after Doey pulled her inside the elevator, he wrapped his arms around her.
As the elevator doors closed, they heard Boxy Boo's roars before the elevator started descending. Doey sternly looked at Michelle. "What were you thinking? You could've—" he stopped midsentence when he felt trembling in his arms, which surprised him. "I'm sorry..."
When Doey looked at Michelle's face, he noticed tears pricking her eyes as she trembled. "I thought I could stall him, but when he roared, I..." she said before looking down. "I'm so sorry..."
Doey's eyes softened before he petted Michelle's head. "It's alright, Misha..." he said, lowly. "It's alright..."
The group heard a loud thud, which made them look at the elevator roof. "Don't tell me..." Poppy said, lowly.
The group heard banging around the elevator and Boxy Boo's roars, which made the group look around. Michelle looked at the square red panel before it started bending, which made her eyes widen. "Watch out for the red panel on the right!" she shouted.
The group moved forward a bit before Boxy Boo's arm shot through it and swung around before retracting.
The group noticed the black panel near the buttons started bending, which made the group move out of the way before Boxy Boo's arm shot through it and swung around before retracting.
The group looked around the elevator. "Where is he gonna attack next?" KickinChicken asked.
Michelle looked at the roof and noticed the back light was starting to bend. "Back light!" she shouted.
The group backed away before Boxy Boo's arm went through it and swung around before retracting back.
Soon after, the group noticed the other red panel, and the light near the buttons started bending, which made them move out of the way before Boxy Boo's arms went through them and swung around before he retracted them.
The black panel and the light on the left started bending, which made the group move out of the way before Boxy Boo's arms went through them and swung them around before he retracted them.
The group heard banging and Boxy Boo's roars before the elevator stopped. The group looked around as Doey placed Michelle on the ground. "Why did the elevator stop?" Poppy asked.
The elevator doors opened, which made the group turn to it; they saw an Omni-Hand scanner on the wall.
Michelle twisted the knob, retracting the orange hand inside her arm, and the Omni-Hand appeared. "I can get that scanner," she said before aiming her right arm at the scanner.
The Omni-Hand shot from Michelle's wrist and touched the scanner; after some time, it made an error noise, which made her sigh. "No good..." she said, lowly.
Before the Omni-Hand could retract to Michelle's wrist, Boxy Boo grabbed the wire, which made her and the group's eyes widen. "He's got my arm! He's got my arm!!" she shouted.
Boxy Boo started pulling Michelle with the wire, which terrified her; Doey quickly wrapped his arms around her. "Oh no, you don't, you red bastard!!" he shouted with his red teeth extended.
Huggy Wuggy and Mommy Long Legs wrapped their arms around Doey while CatNap wrapped his tail around him before they started pulling Michelle away.
However, as Boxy Boo pulled the wire, the small group's feet were dragging toward him a bit. When the group was near the door, Boxy Boo's other hand dug his claws into Michelle's right prosthetic, which mortified her.
Katelynn growled and shot her arms toward Michelle's right wrist with her blue teeth extended. "Let go of Big Sister, now!" she shouted before biting Boxy Boo's hand.
Boxy Boo roared in pain before pulling his arms, which destroyed the upper part of Michelle's right prosthetic and made most of the small group collapse to the ground.
As the small group sat up, Michelle looked at the base of the destroyed prosthetic arm, terrified. "It's gone..." she said, lowly, before placing her hand over it. "It's all gone..."
Katelynn sat up and looked at Michelle. "Not all of it," she said, which made her look at her.
Katelynn held her hands out, which revealed Michelle's beaded bracelet around a broken circular metal piece. "I managed to save this before Boxy destroyed the rest of it," she continued.
Michelle stared at her beaded bracelet before smiling at Katelynn. "Thanks, Katie," she said, which made her smile.
Soon after, the elevator jolted, which shocked the group, before it started going down at a rapid pace, and sparks were coming from the outside. "Lie on your backs, now!" Michelle shouted.
As the group lay on the ground, Doey wrapped his arms around Michelle before he held her close. "Hang on!!" he shouted.
The larger toys holding the smaller toys covered them before the elevator slammed against the ground, and everything went dark.
