Author's note.
And the bomb dropped, did you like Boogie Bot's flashback? Anyway, we'll be getting close to the 'Deep Sleep' boss fight. But, that means that this Chapter is gonna be a short one. So, leave a review, sit back, relax and enjoy the show.
Chapter 16
Gas Production Zone, we're almost there.
"You mean to tell me that that big, purple, nightmare causing cat is Theodore Grambell?" Asked Ben.
"I'm sorry to say, that is the case," said Dogday. "We need to keep moving". They continued to move through Home Sweet Home until they saw another door marked 'Staff only'.
"This has to be it" said Ben. When he opened the door, he was right. There was the rest of the Scaffolding. Dogday then walked out and placed Ben on his shoulders.
"It's not too far now" said Dogday. He then continued to walk across the Scaffolding.
With Catnap.
"You're….You're really Theo?" Asked Max.
"I was, but I grew out of it" answered Catnap.
"Why?" Asked Max.
"Not like I had a choice," answered Catnap. "Not that you cared, Max."
"I DID care," said Max. "And I still do".
"Like you cared about Devin?," mocked Catnap. "Or Stella? Or Rich? Or Bruno?".
"Why are you doing this?," asked Gwen. "What do you get out of it?".
"Who says I WANT anything out of it?," asked Catnap. "I just follow the golden path pathed by our angel of salvation, as gratitude for sparing from damnation".
"You're nuts!" Shouted Gwen.
"And you're chained to a wall" said Catnap.
"Theo," said Max. "I know that you don't really want. And I know that you hated following the rules that were set for you. But, believe me, you can still stop this. You can let us down and help us stop this whole thing. Theo, Please, just-".
SLASH!
Catnap had scratched Max across the cheek, leaving a scratch. He then got in his face.
"Theodore. Grambell. Is. Dead," said Catnap. "Deal. With. It. And if you couldn't save a kid from falling into a vat of Dough, how could you save every child in this factory?".
Meanwhile, outside of Playcare.
"We're not too far now," said Dogday. "How's your watch doing?".
"I've been trying, but it's still red" said Ben.
"Maybe it was the exposure to the red smoke?" Theorised Dogday.
"Maybe, but, I'm still gonna need something to defend myself" said Ben. Dogday then reached into the duffle bag and pulled out what looked like a Plumber's gun.
"I found this while I was searching with Poppy and Kissy," said Dogday. "You can use this to defend yourself". Ben took the gun from Dogday.
"Let's skin that cat" said Ben.
