Chapter 553

When Catnap awoke from his "nap" he was suddenly hit with pain. Pain so bad it made him nauseous, but he knew he couldn't throw up because of his new suit. Catnap wanted to look around at his surroundings but was unable to as when he tried to his body burned from even the smallest amount of movement. He wanted to scream but something wasn't right, he had no voice box. He tried to scream but nothing came out. Catnap felt like crying but he wasn't able to as a bright light turned on above his head, he blinked as the light got covered by a familiar face, Lively Lynx. "Good day Catnap" Lively grins with a menacing look. Catnap tries to speak but nothing comes out and Lively laughs "don't bother, you're getting a new voice box to match your new suit~" Lively seemed to be enjoying this too much as he laughed a bit in Catnap's face. Catnap trembles and tries to escape but is unable to since the pain comes full force when Lively pressed on his arms. Catnap silently screams out in pain, but Lively just laughs at him. "Look how pathetic you look now~" Lively smirks as he hovers over Catnap. "Just relax, it'll make everything more bearable for you" Lively explains as he grabs a scalpel. "It won't hurt you..." he whispers to Catnap as he begins to slice into Catnap's chest, the pain was too much for Catnap to bear he just passes out. Lively laughs above Catnap "success" he whispers as he continues his work.

The Prototype had Lively and Lovely taking care of Catnap while he goes to the surface. The Prototype's clawed hand makes its way to the surface and into Poppy's room. It scans the room for anyone close by but the only one there was Poppy, asleep by her own poppy gas from Catnap. The Prototype will soon have full control over that powerful red gas that puts those who breathe it into a nightmarish reality, he couldn't wait, but he knew he had to figure out this part now... getting Poppy out of her case. The Prototype could tell that there was a key for the case but since he didn't have the key he had to use something else... he lock picking skills done by his own claws. The Prototype was not dumb, he'd always been able to lock pick but it was challenging for him when it came to that stupid holding cell he was trapped in for so long, it was thanks to Killy Willy that he got out at all thanks to the extra pieces he had gotten to make that laser pointer. But enough of that, he was here for Poppy only, the clawed hand made its way towards the case and immediately stuck one of his fingers into the lock, jiggling the lock around he could sense the lock mechanism clicking as the lock opened and swiveled around. The Prototype wasted no time in opening the case and grabbing Poppy's unconscious form before dragging her into the vent to discuss important information about his plan.
