"Kandase, wake up!" I heard Kong whispering in my ear, and felt him shaking me. "I was the first one to wake up and I thought you'd want some time to think. You seem so desperate to save everyone." "That's because I got everyone into this mess," I replied. "You were forced to. Let's stop arguing so you can start thinking."
After a little while of thinking, I said to Kong, "Hey, you know what? I've always wanted to meet you!" "Well that's cool. You're not going to be like Hunter, are you?" "No," I giggled, remembering that episode in great detail.
A long while later, when everyone was awake, people kept asking me if I had anything yet. I got a little aggravated, and I had to stop thinking for awhile to apologize after I yelled at Bingo. Whoops.
Finally, I remembered something. Then I noticed something else. "I've got it!" I said. "What is it?" everyone asked in unison. "I'll need someone to rebel," I explained my plan. Carma volunteered to rebel, and everything was perfectly in place. Later on, when the Legal Eagle came into the room, Carma yelled, "Hey, Metalmouth, I've got a few things to say to you!" The Legal Eagle walked over to her in a rage, opened the door, brought her over to the chair, tied her up in Red Tape, and loaded the gun. "Go ahead," he said. She got really nervous. "Heh, heh, come on, that whole 'Metalmouth' thing was just a joke! I didn't mean any harm!" she said, kicking the ground. Everything was going perfectly.
"Not so fast!" I said, jumping out of the cell, along with Kong, Flapjack, Smirky, and Bingo. All the other Toons followed. "Wha-" he was intrigued. "Simple. I just got Carma to make you angry and take her to that spot. When she kicked the ground, she was kicking a bobby pin that had fallen out of my fur. Then I picked the lock for our cell, slid the bobby pin to the other cell, where another Toon picked their lock, and voila!" Carma then broke out of the red tape and ran to my side. "Yeah, with an amazing leader like Kandase, you had no chance!" I smiled when I heard that.
"Wait a second, I just realized, Flunkies and Legal Eagles are two different types of Cogs! Which HQ are we in?" I wondered. "Haven't you figured it out yet? You're not just in any old HQ! You're in COGNATION!" The Legal Eagle said, and at that moment, thousands of different Cogs joined him. "Holy mother of Flippy..." I heard Carma mumble as they got closer and closer.
"What's all this racket?" another robotic voice, one I had never heard before, said. This voice was deeper and louder, and all in all, scarier. A huge Cog unlike any I had ever seen walked in. "M-Mister Chairman, the Toons escaped!" The Legal Eagle said. "We were just—" "That's enough," the Chairman interrupted. He threw a pink slip at him, and said, "If you want something done right, you have to do it yourself. Charge!"
"Kandase, what do we do now?" Carma asked. "I... don't know," I said. Suddenly, we heard a voice. "Kandase, Carma, all the Toons! Catch!" Our gag pouches flew through the air to us. We looked over to where the voice had come from, and everyone gasped.
