Ben saw a shadow of a morning star weapon swinging towards his head. He moved out the way and the morning star hits the generator. Miss Delight became twisted and showing flesh and teeth.

"You see, I killed the Smiling Critters. And you're my next victim." Miss Delight said.

"Why? I trusted you!" Ben said.

"I had crossed fingers behind my back when we met." Miss Delight said.

"You backstabber!" Ben said.

"And you happened to be the tenth Smiling Critter, so, goodbye, Ben Tentails." Miss Delight said.

"No!" Ben shouted. But then she froze in place. Ben quickly started running as she started moving again.

"How am I a Smiling Critter? It's impossible!" Ben said. Daisy meowed.

"In that same dream, I was a Smiling Critter, but I didn't know it was real!" Ben said.

Ben turned around to face her.

"Miss Delight! It's not too late to change! Please, join us to take down Prototype!" Ben said. Miss Delight laughs.

"I'll pass, I want to eat you instead." Miss Delight said.

Ben's panic attack started kicking in. Ben and Daisy hide behind a table.

"Tentails? Where are you? Come out, come out wherever you..." Miss Delight said but then she froze. Ben had the opportunity to run behind her. She got unfrozen and growled.

"You sly alien wolf! You're lucky I have 20 seconds of movement. But don't worry, I'll catch up with you eventually." Miss Delight said. She chases Ben but stopping every 20 seconds. He uses the electricity to get the door to open. Ben heart was beating so fast.

"Come here, Tentails!" Miss Delight said. She frozed again. Ben waits for her to start moving. She starts moving towards him.

"20... 19... 18..." Ben counts as he starts backing up.

"17... 16... 15..." Ben counts as he grabbed the electricity.

"14... 13.. 12... 11.." Ben counts as he waits for the door to open. She started getting really close. The door opened and Ben started running.

"10... 9... 8.. 7... 6..." Ben counts as he runs.

"5... 4... 3... 2..." Ben counts. Miss Delight started sprinting.

"1." Ben said as she stops and the door crushed her. Her blood splattered all over the door. Ben is relieved that it's over but he felt bad for her.

"You refuses to join us, I had no choice but to kill you. I'm sorry, Miss Delight. Rest peacefully." Ben said. He walks away from her corpse. Ben found a gun hand, he puts it on the GrabPack.

"If we find a TV will see what it does." Ben said. He sees Catnap looking at a creation. He pressed record on his phone as the prototype appeared.

"God, I'm afraid I made another Smiling Critter, Tentails." Catnap said.

"Destroy him." Prototype said. Ben covered his mouth in shock.

"I can't believe it, I'm a Smiling Critter." Ben said. Catnap leaves but Ben still records.

"Right after he's dead, I need to kill one more toy, Catnap." Prototype said.
