Michelle lay on the ground on her stomach. "ANGEL... ANGEL..." she groaned a bit before slowly opening her eyes. When Michelle's vision cleared, she saw CatNap staring at her, worried. "ANGEL..." he said.
Michelle slowly sat up and rubbed her head. "Ow... my head is killing me..." she said, lowly. CatNap lowered his head to Michelle. "ARE YOU ALRIGHT...?" he asked. Michelle slowly got up. "I'll be fine," she said before petting CatNap's head. "Thank you for your concern."
CatNap closed his eyes and purred, which made Michelle smile. After Michelle stopped petting CatNap, she looked at the door. "Are we?" she asked. CatNap nodded. "WE'RE INSIDE THE PRISON..." he said. "I TRIED TO OPEN THE DOOR, BUT IT'S LOCKED..."
Michelle turned her head to the back and saw a hole in the wall. As Michelle approached the hole, she saw the back of a different cell and a gray dead end. Michelle turned her head to CatNap. "You wait here; I'll try to find a way to open that cell," she said.
CatNap nodded as Michelle walked forward; when she reached the dead end, she looked up and saw a handle. Michelle aimed the blue hand and pulled the left trigger, launching it to the handle. After the blue hand grabbed the handle, Michelle pulled herself up.
When Michelle reached the top, she saw a corpse hanging by a pipe from its left shoulder, which made her shudder. "I never thought I would get this close to human corpses..." she said, lowly. When Michelle looked forward, she saw a vent on the right side.
Michelle swung herself onto the higher ground before walking forward. When Michelle was close to the vent, she crouched and crawled through it.
When Michelle spotted a hole in the vent, she saw a blue hand scanner near the cell. "That would explain why CatNap couldn't open it," she said before aiming the blue hand and pulling the left trigger.
The blue hand touched the scanner; after it finished, the cell door opened, which made CatNap step out of it. CatNap spotted Michelle in the vent. "THANK YOU, ANGEL..." he said.
Michelle smiled and nodded before crawling the other way. Soon after, Michelle got out of the vent and approached the ledge. Steam came off the pipe, but Michelle was unfazed before jumping down.
The air jets activated before Michelle landed on the ground. After Michelle reentered the hole, she caught up to CatNap; the duo heard giggling, which made them look around.
CatNap growled as Michelle twisted the knob, switching from the purple hand to the orange hand. "I don't know about you, but I'm ready to get the hell out of this place," she said.
CatNap nodded as they walked forward; Michelle spotted a cell door partially open, which made her approach it. When Michelle pushed the cell door open, she saw a note on a small table, which made her approach it and pick it up.
CatNap looked at Michelle as she read the note. "A NOTE...?" he asked. Michelle looked at CatNap. "More like a weekly checkup to whoever this Experiment 1172 is," she said.
Michelle looked at the note. "I mean... unconsciously rubbing the fur on her arms as a response to stress, emotional dysregulation... she must've gone through a lot..." she continued.
Michelle folded the note and put it in her pocket before leaving the cell. "We should keep going," she said. CatNap nodded as they walked toward the other side.
When the duo was close to a closed cell door, they heard banging, which made CatNap place his arm beside Michelle with a growl. Michelle petted CatNap's arm. "It's OK, CatNap; whatever's on the other side isn't worth it," she said.
CatNap stared at the door before they walked forward; soon after, they saw an open cell door. As the duo got close, they saw two Nightmare Critters: one shaped like an alligator and the other shaped like a shark, inside the cell, eating a toy corpse.
Before CatNap did anything, Michelle held her arm out, which made him stop and look at her. Michelle turned her head to CatNap and placed a finger over her mouth before pointing to the cell door.
CatNap nodded as he quietly reached for the cell door; the Nightmare Critters turned to the duo with a growl before he closed it. Michelle giggled a bit and petted CatNap's arm. "Good job, buddy," she said, which made him purr.
When Michelle looked forward, she saw a slightly open cell door, which made her approach it. When Michelle pushed the cell door open, they saw a large hole. "That should get us to the lower part of this prison block," she said.
CatNap nodded before Michelle jumped down; when she landed on the ground, she spotted a couple of Ruined Critters eating a toy corpse.
Michelle aimed the orange hand before shooting a flare at the ground, which scared them away; she placed her hand on the cell door before opening it. When Michelle left the cell, CatNap landed on the ground before following her.
As Michelle looked around the area, she spotted a red hand scanner. "Well, I haven't seen a red hand scanner in a while," she said before looking at the barricaded path. "That means there's a red hand around here somewhere."
Michelle turned her head to CatNap. "Think you can make a path through this barricade?" she asked. CatNap chuckled before approaching the barricade. "CHILD'S PLAY..." he said.
CatNap extended his claws before digging them into the broken cell door, pulling it away, and setting it to the side. After CatNap moved the other debris away, he turned his head to Michelle. "IT'S DONE..." he said.
Michelle smiled. "Nice going, buddy," she said before walking forward. "Now then, let's find ourselves a red hand." Soon after, the duo entered a room with a few bunk beds and tables.
Michelle turned her flashlight on and looked around. "This area looks like it was a sleeping quarters for the guards," she said.
As Michelle turned her head to the right, she saw a red hand near a corpse. As Michelle approached the red hand, she twisted the knob, switching it to the empty slot.
When Michelle was close, she picked the red hand up and put it in the empty slot. "Hello, old friend... I think the last time I saw you... Mommy was dragging you away," she said. "Good to have you back."
Michelle twisted the knob, switching from the red hand to the orange hand, before approaching CatNap. "Let's head for that scanner," she continued, which made him nod.
As the duo left the resting quarters, the intercoms started going off, which surprised them. "The subjects scramble for an advantage; they appear lost and disoriented," the Doctor said.
CatNap growled while Michelle looked around with her orange hand ready. "Heavy breathing is indicative of fear, and rightly so. Let's test the response to said fear when pushed into action," the Doctor continued.
The cell doors beside the duo started opening, which made them look at them. Soon after, Nightmare Critters and feral Mini Huggies started coming out of the cells and charged toward the duo.
CatNap quickly picked Michelle up by her jacket's hood with his mouth before swatting the smaller toys away. A few smaller toys tried jumping on Michelle, but CatNap quickly moved out of the way.
Michelle aimed the orange hand before shooting a few flares, which scared a few of them away. "We need to close those cell doors," she said. CatNap nodded as he quickly approached an open door on the right and closed it.
Soon after, CatNap approached the left side in the far back corner, and he closed the cell door. A few smaller toys bit CatNap's lower legs, which made him growl and swat them away.
Michelle shot five flares at the smaller toys, which scared them away. There's no end to these little bastards... she thought. CatNap kept closing cell doors as they opened and swatted the smaller toys away while Michelle shot flares at them when she had a chance.
Soon after, a horde of smaller toys quickly approached the duo. Before the duo could do anything, the intercom went off. "I've seen enough... thank you; you may proceed," the Doctor said. The smaller toys started crawling toward the vents before entering them.
Michelle stared at the vents with a sigh. "That's finally over..." she said, lowly. CatNap placed Michelle back on the ground. "Let's get to that hand scanner," she continued.
CatNap nodded as they walked forward; when they reached the scanner, Michelle twisted the knob, switching from the orange hand to the red hand. Michelle aimed the red hand before pulling the right trigger, launching it at the scanner.
After the scanner finished, the gate opened; Michelle turned her head to CatNap. "You wait out here," she said. CatNap nodded as Michelle climbed the stairs; soon after, she entered a security room.
As Michelle looked around, she saw a cutout of a lion-like toy with a multicolored yarn mane. Michelle smiled. "It's Yarnaby," she said before approaching the cutout.
When Michelle was close to the cutout, she pressed the button. "The name's Yarnaby! Would you Warn-a-be my friend?" it said. Michelle giggled. "Still adorable as always; I even have your plushy in my bag and always take care of your mane," she said.
Michelle stopped a bit before looking at the vault door on the other side with worry. "I hope the others are OK..." she said, lowly. Michelle turned her head to a clipboard next to the main console before approaching it.
When Michelle was close to the board, she noticed a game of Hangman on it. "Those assholes..." she said, lowly. Michelle looked beside the hangman and saw the word 'CELL' under the lines.
Michelle looked at the other part of the board with the word 'Assignments' above it, along with numbers corresponding to a letter. Michelle hummed. "3-2-5-5... that's my code," she said before approaching a keypad.
After Michelle typed the numbers in, a case covering the red button opened, which made her press it. The vault door across from Michelle started opening. "That'll do it," she said before approaching the door.
As Michelle left the room, the upper gate started opening. Michelle stared at the gate before approaching the top of the stairs. "CatNap, the vault door on the other side is open; climb up the hole that let us get to the lower level," she said.
"GOT IT, ANGEL..." CatNap said before Michelle heard his steps getting quieter. As Michelle went through the gate, she saw CatNap exit a cell. When Michelle caught up with CatNap, they approached the vault door and left the prison block.
