Save the Factory (Poppy Playtime Reader Insert)

The Next Hurtle

"NO, NO! LET GO! They didn't do anything wrong!" A familiar voice shouted out as Poppy ran into your view with a flashlight under her arm, revealing the pink fur covering the one holding you down. "Poppy? And Kissy too?" You replied while stunned as you began to steady your breathing. Kick was getting up from being pushed over as Poppy turned her attention to you, "They're actually here to help." Kissy sighed as she let go of you and stood back to let Kick help you up. "Well, that's one heck of a way to show up." Kick said as he rubbed his shoulder while Kissy looked away and rubbed her arm sheepishly.

"Sorry about that. This place makes her tense..." Poppy said as she looked up to the now standing you. "As long as you don't do anything like that again, we'll be okay." You replied before turning to the doll at your feet, "But I certainly wasn't expecting to see you here, Poppy." She looked down at her flashlight before saying, "I'm sorry about yelling at you before. But I am glad that you managed to escape the crash, and that Ollie could help you get this far. He's the reason we found you at all." You gestured to Kick as you said, "Well, I also got some more help from Kick here. But while I'm thinking of it. When you got out of the train, did you happen to see any of the others as well?"

Poppy hung her head as she said, "I'm sorry. I didn't see anyone when I escaped, so it might be best to assume The Prototype took them. It looks like the train crash hurt us both..." Kissy then softly grabbed Poppy and placed her on her shoulder as you turned to look up at Kissy, before thinking of the possibility of the others being attacked by The Prototype. "You've been through so much..." Poppy said before looking at Kissy and then back to you and Kick, saying, "You deserve an explanation. Come on."

Kissy began walking away while motioning for you and Kick to follow. The two of you complied and slowly began following the Pink creature to a corner of the dome. While walking, you heard Poppy begin to comfort Kissy as you approached an electrical box with a poppy flower painted on it. Kissy then kneeled down and let Poppy stand on her hand as she held the doll up to the door, allowing her to unlock it with a key and flip a switch inside. She then returned to Kissy's shoulder as a platform came up from a trapdoor on the ground.

The two of them boarded it with you and Kick following. The four of you got comfortable as the gate to the platform closed and it began moving upwards. "Listen... I'm not your enemy." Poppy explained, "But I can't just let you leave. What's happening down here is bigger than all of us. And I need you, so we can get revenge on those monsters who've tortured you... who've tortured all of us. They didn't act alone. They're disciples of the original: The Prototype." You watched as the elevator rose high up above the whole area, listening as Poppy talked while thinking to yourself.

Finally, as the elevator came to a stop, Poppy asked, "Do the honors?" You looked over to a large button that was next to a console. You took a deep breath and pressed it, watching as all of the lights surrounding the dome lit up once again. You could now clearly see all of the surrounding buildings once again as you got back on the elevator and it began to descend. "It's safe to say The Prototype knows we're coming by now." Kick said as he sat down next to Kissy. "You're going to have to deal with him before you can escape, or he'll kill you before you can even make it to the front doors." Poppy said, "He's the reason I was trapped in that god-awful case for so long! I was the only other one the other toy's could listen too. You have... no idea the things he's done to get his way!"

"So, let me get this straight." You said as you thought out loud, "There are essentially two powers who can command the toys, You, and The Prototype. The both of you wanting similar things but having two different paths on how to get it. So he imprisoned you so you wouldn't be able to rally the toys against his cause. And now you want me to kill him so the toys can live without fearful oppression." "Yes, but there's something else." Poppy said as she nodded.
