Prison Halls and Hells

You slowly began to stir from your painful impact with the wall of the padded cell you and Miss Delight had been trapped in by that mysterious voice. "...(Y/n)..." Came a faint voice as you tried to force open your eyes. Slowly, you were able to make out the figure of Miss Delight, who was trying to wake you up. You groaned as you sat up, rubbing your forehead. "Oh, thank goodness." Miss Delight exclaimed, "I feared the worst after everything you've been through."

"Well, I'm not dead yet. No matter how hard this place is trying to kill me." You groaned as you stretched briefly before asking, "But who was that on the screen? And where are we now? And what happened to the others!?" Miss Delight raised her hands softly as she explained, "Calm down. I have reason to believe the others are down here with us. It appears that we're now within the prison itself. And that..." She sighed in frustration, "...was The Doctor."

Understanding her tone of voice, you stood up and looked around, quickly noticing a gaping hole in the corner of the cell, which you and Miss Delight were able to squeeze through and take a few back routes before unlocking the cell you were in, allowing you to enter into the prison proper.

Finally in the area outside the cells, you could faintly hear the sounds of some of the others yelling and pounding on cells. "Hold on guys! We're coming!" You shouted as you listened for which cells the noises were coming from and unlocking them, freeing the others. While most of them had been waiting, confident you'd save them, Crafty had entered a small nervous breakdown being in the cell.

You and the others were quick to console her, slowly calming her down. After that was done, you decided to ask, "Alright. Now, if you can answer, who is this 'Doctor' that you mentioned earlier?" Miss Delight was kneeling next to Crafty, helping her up before explaining, "'The Doctor' is a methodical AI that the scientists created to help them run their experiments down here. Even more sick and twisted than the scientists down here, before the Hour of Joy, he'd allied himself with The Prototype, helping to unleash chaos. If anyone down here is the most dangerous, he's only beaten out by the Devil himself."

"*Chuckle* Well... my reputation precedes me." Came the same voice from before as you snapped into a defensive position as Catnap and Dogday Protected the others. But nothing appeared to happen as you all slowly moved into another cell with a hole in it, allowing you to enter the first floor of this specific wing.

Moving around more dead critter bodies, and over man-made barricades, you came to what seemed to be some sort of break room. Looking around, you were able to see another dead guard, but unlike others, he had remains of a grabpack strapped to him, with a red hand attached. "I think we can use that, I saw a red hand scanner at the other end of the hall." Kick mentioned as you walked over and pulled the hand from the broken grabpack, attaching it to yours.

You recalled how Mommy Long Legs had taken it before you'd entered the game station what felt like an eternity ago. But with another red hand in your possession, you tested it out before everyone moved back to the other end to activate the scanner. But before you could get far, the speakers squeaked before The Doctor spoke out again, "The subjects scramble for an advantage. They appear lost and disoriented, constantly requiring the aid of others. Heavy breathing is indicative of fear, and rightly so."

"Let's test the response to said fear when pushed into action." The Doctor menacingly said as several cell doors creaked open, and manic toys began to crawl out and towards the group. You switched to the flare hand as you called out, "Shut the doors! We'll keep them at bay." You looked to Catnap, who nodded back at you. The others quickly shut the doors back, with Kick and Crafty apologizing to the manic critters as you and Catnap worked in tandem, swatting or firing flares to scare the assailants away.

They even tried leaping onto you to bite at you, but you were able to shake them off before they could do anything and knock them back. Suddenly, a huge portion of a barricade fell over as even more crazed toys immerged from behind it. But the Doctor's voice rang out again, "I have seen enough. Thank you. You may proceed." The toys then suddenly stopped as they crawled away from you and the others.
