Chapter 63 - Success

When Michelle got out of the giant wormhole, the infirmary was pitch black, which shocked her. "Even in here, too; this is bad..." she said.

Michelle grabbed the right arm cannon's handle before making a quick motion with it, which opened the flashlight's hatch and turned it on before looking around. "Misha," a gruff male voice said, which surprised her.

Michelle aimed the right arm cannon at the source and saw Huggy Wuggy standing in front of Kissy Missy while the Mini Huggies held her, scared. Michelle looked at the group with a gentle smile. "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; when she stepped forward, she felt something hard under her foot, which surprised her.

Michelle looked down before aiming the right arm cannon at the ground, revealing a brown VHS tape under her foot before getting off it and picking it up. "Another time," she said before holding it under her left arm and looking at the group. "Let's move."

The group nodded as Michelle aimed the right arm cannon forward before walking forward, which made them follow behind her. Soon after, the group entered the main room; Michelle looked around. "I just hope the others are alright..." she said in a low voice.

Michelle heard a 'psst' noise, which made her aim the right arm cannon at the far right. When the light was aimed at the opening in the generator room, they saw a dough arm make a 'come hither' motion before retracting, which made the group approach it.

The group looked through the opening and saw Doey, Katelynn, the mini Smiling Critters, the mini Kissy Missy, Poppy, Bunzo Bunny, Miss Delight, Scout, Medic, KickinChicken, and an unconscious Bubba Bubbaphant in the corner.

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

Bunzo Bunny quickly approached Michelle and hugged her leg. "Welcome back, Big Sis..." he said in a low voice.

Michelle smiled and petted Bunzo Bunny's head with her left hand 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, some of the toys could hear laughter in the storage room before it went quiet."

Michelle hummed a bit and 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 with somber eyes; Michelle looked at the duo and noticed their expressions before facing them. "You two know something, don't you?" she asked.

Miss Delight looked at Michelle before sighing. "It happened while you went after Mr. Kevin..." she said.

(Flashback Begins)

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

Miss Delight knocked on the wall. "Mr. Bubba," she said, which made Bubba Bubbaphant stop and look at her. "Are you alright? You've been in this room 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 on this sphere is so technical that it calls for my full focus, especially with this task given to me."

Miss Delight looked at Bubba Bubbaphant with worried eyes. "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 in a low voice.

Bubba Bubbaphant placed the tweezers on his workbench before closing the small panel on the gadget. "I think I'll—" he was interrupted when KickinChicken poked his head out of the opening with happy eyes. "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 workbench before approaching it. "Hang on, is that...?" he said in a low voice.

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 in a low voice.

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 with panicked eyes. "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 workbench 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 workbench hard, which launched the gadget into the air.

Miss Delight looked at the gadget with a gasp and covered her mouth. "The gadget!" she shouted.

When Bubba Bubbaphant and KickinChicken looked at the back with shocked eyes, the gadget hit the ground still intact.

The trio stared at the gadget. "Well... at least it—" KickinChicken was cut off when 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 with shocked eyes. "What the hell...?" he said in a low voice.

Bubba Bubbaphant started giggling and let go of KickinChicken's arm, which made the duo look at him, concerned. Soon after, Bubba Bubbaphant started laughing maniacally. "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 with a struggle, panicking. "Whoa, 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 as he struggled. 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 in her left hand. "This gadget caused all of this," she said.

Michelle looked at the gadget before looking 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," Katelynn said.

Michelle made a quick motion with the right arm cannon, which closed the flashlight's hatch, before letting go of its handle and looking at the group. "Has anyone counted how long it's been since the power went out?" she asked.

Doey placed his hand on his chin with a slight hum. "I want to say it was roughly an hour since the power went out," he said.

Michelle hummed a bit. "An hour will have to be enough..." she said before she started stretching her arms. "Now I need to pull my slack."

The group 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.
