Smiling Critters continues on...

Chapter 593

"Look Killy we know you do, but it's best you stay down here-" before Lively could say more Killy spots Small Frown... or whatever was left of the fox plushie. "Oh, that's... we don't really know what that was but we didn't care it was snooping around and we had to kill it" Lovely said clearly not ashamed at all for killing a mini critter. The Prototype just watches a bit as the three talk so casually, but he turns towards a certain tunnel, where a few eyes stare back awaiting his command. "They're ready" he announces and it causes Killy, Lively, and Lovely to all look at him. They take note of the eyes staring back at them, and they all shudder. "Who are they?" asked Killy "in time you will know" was all the Prototype said before he makes his way deeper into the room. "I hope we get a part in this plan..." said Lively but Lovely shut that down real quick by saying no. "We will watch from the sidelines, I will not allow you to be hurt anymore than you've been" she explains much to Lively's annoyance but he understands why she's so protective, after all she was there to witness his pain, and he didn't want her to ever see him in pain again. "Alright... we will watch from the sidelines" as Lively said this a few giggles came from the eyes that were staring at the three toys and they soon disappeared into the tunnel again. Lively, Killy, and Lovely all were speechless before they all followed the Prototype in fear that the toys in that tunnel will attack them if they're to stand there for any longer.

Hoppy was desperate to find anyone, even Miss Delight would've been okay to see now, but they're running out of the time, and they haven't found anyone, they look behind them and notice the others are also looking very upset and tired of searching. "Shade... I don't think Small Frown is up here... on the surface" as Hoppy said that both Shade and Gloom were silent for a few seconds before they began to violently break out of Picky and Hoppy's holds and make their way into a vent. "NO!" everyone shouts and Bunzo also runs into the vent to stop the two foxes from making a big mistake. Hoppy, Picky, Bubba, Kickin', and Crafty all wait with bated breath as they watch the vent to see if Bunzo saved the two or not. After a while though Bunzo comes back with a frown and shakes his head, he failed to save them as the two foxes had jumped down the shaft to the underground. Hoppy felt horrible 'is this how Dogday feels every time he had failed someone..?' they thought as they grab their ears in frustration "we don't have time to waste like this!" Hoppy said as they turn towards everyone "new plan guys, we leave now, we can't find everyone, and we don't have the time either" Hoppy said as they took in everyone's expressions... or at least those who could still make an expression.
