Overdue Check-Up (Poppy Playtime) [On Hold]

(Chapter 4) Part 28: Chase of Betrayal

"I'm sorry..." Doey whimpers, still looking down at the deceased plush before him, "I'm so, so sorry. I failed you."

Everyone looks up at him as he continues talking to the body, "I was never what any of you needed. I was only made to hurt things."

"Doey..." Dan says stepping closer to him.

"My fault. My fault..." he cries, covering his face.

"No, i-it's not..." Nearic starts as he puts the now-deceased toy gently on the ground, "None of this is your fault," Doey starts to breath heavier, his hands clenching into fists, "We all tried our best to-"

"We?" he asks angrily.

"Doey?" Nearic steps back.

"Hurt... Everything hurts," he splays his arms out to illustrate his point, "Hurt back," he shakes his head angrily, "ALWAYS-" he takes a step forward, "hurt back," he steps forward again, "Parents, scientists," he gets even closer, "everyone... Have to-"

Doey suddenly jerkily stretches as he steps back in shock. Now he's covering his face with a hand as he whimpers and sobs.

"My friends," he looks to the ceiling as he cries to the heavens, "He killed my friends!" he wails, his voice gaining the reverberations again.

Nearic steps back even more at the sound, Dan holding onto Nearic with one hand, while both toys step closer, ready to move at a moment's notice.

Doey continues to wail and sob as he slowly pivots towards them, "You," he suddenly points at the family, glaring at them angrily, as if he hadn't been sobbing uncontrollably a moment ago.

"This all started with you," he accuses, his hand and neck stretching closer to them, "You and her," he gestures away from everything, clearly hinting at Poppy.

He stomps as his voice reverberates yet again, "It was you who ruined everything!!!" Doey twitches again as he steps back, "No. No, that's not true," he says, his voice sounding more calm and in control, "They jumpstarted the generator. They-"

Doey slaps himself before he looks angry again and shouts, "Destroyed everything!" he points at them as he shakes a fist, "I'll kill you!!"

He then angrily smashes the pillar next to him, knocking it over and destabilizing a concrete block above him. Doey looks up as it shatters and falls on him, crushing him.

"Back up, back up!" Dan shouts as he pulls his brother back, the toys behind them putting some distance between them and the rubble.

The four look at the destruction, "You saw that too, right?" Catnap asked.

Dan nodded, "Yeah, Doey was fighting himself, like he was... not fully himself anymore."

Nearic looks back at them, "W-what?"

Before anyone could speak, the rubble before them begins to shift and move. A hand in the shadows grabs a rock for stability before another follows suit, but the latter was in the light... and it didn't look normal. Suddenly, a large mass breaks free from the pile, revealing a large 6 legged beast, the left a mix of yellow and orange dough, while the right was completely red. The head? It was monstrous, the mouth was opened impossibly wide, revealing three smaller heads within it. Two pairs of arms grasped the edges, trying to pull it closed, while one set reached outward, reaching towards the family with twitching fingers.

But there was something else, something only Nearic spotted, while the three heads looked at them, only one looked angry. The other two? They were sad, scared, grieving... they were the ones trying to stop whatever was happening... or going to happen.
