Misty and Squeaks at the Docks.

Segment 1: First Time for Anything!(Based on The Spongebob Musical)

There was a time me and Misty were not friends, much less know eachother. I was only hearing about her battles against us toons, us getting sad, and all that. The reason I care about her is 'cause she's an emotional person, and didn't really have any friends, just like me. Funny story, when I was around the dock, there was one of her cloud hats was just floating around there, so I grab it. I did not even fight her, and yet, here's a cloud hat for me. Wanted to repay the favor, so I had 2 plan a great day, where she and I can hangout somewhere. On that day, I sang, and others joined in. First, I went to Sellbot HQ, and Jr. sang about how he was bored, while I got some breakfast snacks for him and I. Graham, who was there for unspecified reasons, sang about proving himself as a leader, song was nice, but I didn't need to hear it, and I didn't have time so I left. Felt like walking to the Boatyard, I was heading through Acorn Acres, despite the Chip incident, Snee-Zee, was by herself 'cause Tact's busy with his work, and sang too. She's practicing her music for some concert tomorrow, it was gonna be in Toontown Central. Heh, they all sang by my side, when I encountered them, this feels like the calm before the storm, something bad's gonna happen, I know it. It felt like even the others, like Flint, Tact, and even Prester, were singing.

It was alright, then comes Bessie. Actually, she wasn't a problem 2 me, yeah, she said not to go near that cog, unless we fight them, but I ignored that. When I got there, I introduced myself to her, being careful of what I say, as I don't wanna deal with the weather, and invite them to go somewhere today. Really, the problem was Misty herself did not want 2 leave her post, not by force. Even when I said this was no trap, here or the places we would go, and I wouldn't hurt her, they still refused. Decided to ask what she possibly be doing, beyond dealing with those- er, us toons. She says that at some point in her job, she's supposed to check for boats, that are COG owned, of course, checking supplies, work stuff. While she's talking, I threw my black hole under her, dropping them in a seat of the Pizzaria. Yes, I might have took her there anyways without their approval, but it wouldn't be that bad to be gone 4 a few minutes. Course, It was pretty much a bad move, since they started panicking so bad, I could of swore that I heard thunder outside. Tried helping them relax with bread sticks and ice cream, because those would be my favs if I cared to eat, mmm, yummy filter. She seemed 2 started to calm down, until she hears something, saying that a boat is at the station right now, not knowing why she thinks that however, I couldn't let them just leave. Unfortunately, she splashes me with water nearby, and shocks me 'til I got stunlocked, yelling at me 4 ruining her job schedule. She then flew back 2 the docks, leaving me alone, upset that this didn't go to plan.

Suddenly, Flint rushes in the pizzaria, probably to tell something 2 that Pluto headed guy. At that moment, he saw me, and would tell me what's going on, as this might affect toons as well. ... Oh, this is the bad thing I was suspecting. There is a tower south from there, basically between The Gardens and Acres. It's too dull to be a toon building, too colored for a cog building. Of course, I was confused, like, what do u mean a tower just popped out of nowhere? I left him to his own business, and tried to figure it out on my own. When roaming around, everyone was in a frenzy, both toons and cogs being worried about that tower. The fact a tower from out of nowhere, shows up on the day I tried befriending Misty... No, not her. It can't be her. I had to talk 2 someone, Tact, who was nearby, can confirm it's something I don't have to worry about. He tries to make a pun on my presence, thinking it would calm me, not like I care for his jokes, and even he wasn't sure what will happen with the Tower, and said it was definitely dangerous. Then, I realized something, if this was her doing, and I didn't hear a thing about it, Misty's job thing happening could be a lie that was made up, implanted in their head. In a stressed out manner, I asked if there was any deliveries, both toon and cog, at the Lighthouse, he said not since that Tower appeared.

Oh no, so that means... MONSOON, THERE IS NO BOAT!, I thought, THAT BEAST IS LYING TO YOU! When I went flew 2 her dock, 'cause us bat toons can change our arms to wings, and it's faster, I did not notice the weather is just cloudy, round the lighthouse, which would mean their powers aren't working or... I don't want to think about it. Bessie was probably yelling at me 2 get down in-case, but I didn't care, I would not care. Once I was there, I looked around for any sign she's nearby, but I didn't see her. I did notice something though, a wet dock, which wouldn't be important since rain or squirt could cause it to be wet, but then I saw a big, still ripple, and I saw bubbles coming out from there, which means... no. No. nO. NO. NO. NONONONO. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO-

After what happened, I was racing towards the Sellbot HQ, with her cold, lifeless, and soaking body in my arms. I had to go in the ocean in order 2 try and save them, that meant I soaking and cold as well. The reason we're going 2 Sellbot, not Lawbot, is cause I know someone who's willing to help fix her. Yes, that right, the very unproductive, Multislacker. As said in his Ink. thing, when adequately motivated, he can do stuff, but is said he isn't motivated at all. However, he's really helpful, when fixing the TV's, The Burrow, his ride in case he had to go far, and especially Suits, or Cogs as they're called. Of course, I had 2 convince him to help me, even if saving just one meaningless life is pointless to him. Had 2 tell them that I had done so much for him, that we're best friends, and that they should save her life for me. Dude wasn't budging, so I slipped info about the Tower thing, that it could worry his father, and it could effect the channel watching forever. He agrees, begrudgingly, but only if I can find some compatible parts for her, which would mean I had to go over to Lawbot anyways, sigh. So off I go, don't worry about me Misty, I should be fine, even though you think I could be saddened easily, you'd be wrong.

To recall what happened to me, I was trying to find a ship, b-but I fell into the water instead, now I'm here, lying on some bed. Hopefully the damage isn't that ba- Hold on, w-why can't I move? I try to rock around... and I fall flat on my face, which means I can at least roll, but now my vision is blurry for a minute. Actually, now that I think of it, I feel like I can move normally, so I get off the ground. There's no feeling in my body, but I can move. This doesn't look like any place I've been, again, from what I can tell. I looked around, noting it looks like I'm inside a purplish-pinkish room. D-did I get broken, to the point where I needed someone, other than my Department, to fix my body?! After that, I checked my body, and it's kinda wet- wait, I see my body, and my face, but not in a mirror! Finally my vision clears up and I get a good look at my hand, the one that I got up with, and not only is it transparent, but it's a toon hand! My old body!! How did I get into yet another chance at living?! Did the world decided I was special enough to try and live?!!

Of course, as I was questioning these things, I started to hear someone. A suit, with a empty voice, like they were not wanting to do any work, I get that feeling. Was that the one who will be fixing my body? I cannot make out words, as they were mumbling, that or my hearing is also a bit off. Then I heard singing, and It sounds like... a toon. I peeked into the room, and saw a Sellbot with a TV head, with a bunch of other TV's, and... Squeaks?! That bat toon is still here?! I-I-I... mmm, well it seems she still wanted to be around me, so she must of pulled me out of the water, and tried saving me. Oh, if she wanted to hang out, she would let me do my job first, instead of dragging me for food that's not all that good! Unless she wanted to do something at the moment, we'd sit next to eachother, singing songs, play some games, all that. Now, I'm stuck here for maintenance, and I'm some ghost toon again, all because she wanted to go places! Great, she's leaving to get parts, instead of taking me to my Headquarters for an easy and safer fix! Well, I'm deciding to go back in my body and rest, 'til she comes back, and have her face the consequences.

______________________________________________________________

As I was rushing over to Lawbot HQ, 2 get stuff and fix her, I encountered Witch Hunter, but he didn't care for me, likely waiting for whatever's the Tower's stuff to happen. Of course, while I would not let her do the thing, whatever's she planning, there's still a kind of problem. As a toon, I was not allowed inside the building for the stuff, so I had 2 do it as a cog. Yet, I did not have a Lawbot suit, coming from the person who refuses to team up with others, so I had 2 go in, but as my normal self. Yes, my bat form is not my normal form, as I was hinting at by fully refering myself as a toon. You could say I can look like a Rainmaker, but all black and white! Yep, it is I, SABES!

While I changed, it was in a hidden spot, so no 1 would notice some toon changing into a suit-like person, and go after me. However, Prester had noticed that I went in the corner as a bat, out as a unique suit and, turns out, he knew about this form for a while, with a special vision thing. Again, he didn't care, and I had no time to question this, plus his magic thing, so I went in Storage, and got the parts I needed. There were some side eyes, entering and exiting, but no 1 asked who I was, or what I'm here for, hopefully they were more concerned of the Tower. Was very confused on where 2 go also, but he decided to lead me where to go and got me there.

Ha, thought this would be easy? Well, we got a problem, 1 word, Pacesetter. He ruins everything for anyone, whether with toons or his fellow cogs, like only Flint cares about u, dude! Going from The Brrrgh to Sellbot HQ is not an easy task, didn't want 2 go to the Boatyard, y'all know why, and I couldn't use the black hole without being spotted, so I had 2 go through Dreamland all the way back. In hindsight, I could of directly gone to Melodyland, but it was nicer and quiet here, of course, 'til he showed up. Just 'cause he wants to be a ruler, doesn't mean he can barge into others business, like MINE. He tried 2 block my path, thought I was the owner of that tower, since I don't look like any suit he knows that look like me, BECAUSE THAT MAKES SENSE. He's somewhat right I'm involved, in some way, but I didn't make the Tower. I just wanted to tell him that I'm saving someone, or getting someone who can help me remove the Tower, or that it's Squeaks, anything that would give me a break. Knowing him, he would want 2 join along and try to be THE main hero, plus I don't want him 2 get hurt by her of all people. So, I tried to sucker punch him, he dodges, I ran up the building nearby, and he would chase me from there, 2 the Sellbot entrance, while singing how famous he will be, if he stops me. When we were almost there, I pulled out my teleport hole and, as he was on the last verse, he fell in, going back 2 his place. Yes, I have direct access to the Pace Place, back to fix time.

Even though I was resting, I could still hear the noises. Some clanking, hitting against my metallic skin, then the twisting of screws, drying other parts, but the worst of it was the z-zap sounds. Oh, that poor suit must be really upset about the z-zapping, and considering the mumbles, maybe even having to fix me in general. I wanted to apologize for e-everything, and thank them for helping out anyways, right then and there. However, w-without being online, and not being able to speak, I couldn't... Unless I can use my current form to possess something, and speak from an object, like last time. Maybe that suit can even tell me about certain things, like anything about Squeaks. Now, what to possess? Hmm, not that, or that... How about all those TV's, back there, since they make noise. Yeah, t-that might work. ... Wow, I still feel cold, despite being a suit that can handle being cold, heh. ... I've lost so much of my humor.

Finally, I got to Sellbot, and got the stuff 2 fix Misty. Just hope that neither of them don't question why I look like this, I can't change back right now, I'm tired. Anyways, I go in through the roof window, and give him the stuff to finally fix her, he said nothing to me, probably figured out with the box, and by the way I act. So now, we- (-U ARE - SO MUCH TROUBLE!) Wait, why are his TV's staticing, and sounding like Misty? (-Can't believe by dragging me out, I- MMMMM!) ... Oh no, that is her, speaking currently 2 me. I wasn't sure if the whole Tower thing would effect her more than the incident, guess they can possess things now. Apparently, she was gonna talk to him after I left, stuff about me, but then she sees me instead, realizing that I was Squeaks, since nobody else would know she's over here for repairs. We ended up complaining about our situations, hers with the whole body thing, and she said that because of what happened, it'll take awhile before we ever become friends, much less besties. I ended up talkin' about the Tower that appeared, admiting that I was stupid for dragging her away from there, and if only I knew JUST WHAT TOONEE WAS UP TO- ... OH COG, I had said too much, they know about her now, everything is ruined. Soon left after getting upset with Misty, crying tears of black (still don't know what fluid it is), I gotta talk to Toonee right away, and make her stop this.

W-what was she talking about?! Like, what is this Tower, and who's Toonee?! I don't even understand why she wears a hoodie under her suit, it doesn't seem waterproof, I haven't got one when I asked for it awhile ago, and she also still hadn't apologized! Again, I tried to tell her that making friendships takes time, and we start doing what I want to do, but she didn't listen! What can I even do now?! huff Thinking on it, maybe she feels sorry, but she can't get the words out when stressed. Once she's calm, we should try to apologize together, that way we can both feel better. So when that Suit's done with fixing me up, I could go see where she's gone. Finally, once I want back into my body, I gave my thanks and asked for his name, Cathal, like the Vice President's son? Right, go find Squeaks and- WEH. (falls) Unfortunately, there were some problems, he couldn't fix everything, even with the extra stuff, which meant a few issues. I couldn't fly, because the propeller part is stuck in closed mode, so I can't get to her that way. That's already bad enough, but not being able to use my legs, without falling, as in, I am unable to even walk, before I get even more hurt, is real bad. He offered me a walking stick, apparently he only uses it when in a rolling chair, gosh he's such a lazy fellow, explains why I'm working at the bare minimum. She really should've took me over to my HQ, at least drop me by the tunnel to it. At least there was some plus to this, I was awake, able to move a bit, and I wasn't really studdering and cold anymore.

Well, now what? I don't want to leave my body again, and I can't just simply slow walk my way back anywhere. Hmm, what to do? That's when he gave me a suggestion, maybe I can use my weather powers to make a cloud to ride on, that way I can go to places faster then on my own feet. Although, while I'd made clouds, it was during some bad moods, in certain areas, and I'm indoors right now. Yet he encouraged me to just do it, like he was fixing me, and putting dry rice on the wetter spots- What? Well, guess there's a first time for everything, and I still needed to find Squeaks. Focusing on light things... Come on, work... Wow, that was easy, I thought I would have to spend a lot of time figuring out, yet I got it first try, both making and controlling it. Soon, I got on my flying cloud, and was told to go through the open roof. He told me to keep the stick, as he has spares, and go on my way, he got some shows to watch. Baa, I wish that was me.

______________________________________________________________

As I was going to find her, the realization had hit, I had no idea where to go. She could have gone to an HQ, or a toon residence. Trying to find someone you barely know about is hard, whether it's her or Toonee, and I still don't know if she's a bat toon or still some suit. I could find where that Tower... No, I cannot go there, especially with my condition. Maybe, I should talk to someone around The Brrrgh, like that Pizza Place she showed me. So, I went near the area there, took a peek and... Toons everywhere, looking stressed out more than me. Of course, it is not a good idea to ask a stressed Toon, even one of them, they would take advantage of my weakness, so I left the area, and dropped into a empty spot. Sigh, if only someone I actually knew could help me- Ah! Who- hey, I bumped into Flint, we had spoken sometimes as we were heading to our jobs.

I talked to him, trying to explain the situation as best I could, while keeping the certain details quiet. He was willing to help, but had to talk to his boss first. Feeling like lightening the mood, I was like, 'Bossbot?', he said, 'No, a Cashbot...' We both couldn't help but smirk at my joke. Didn't know who he was, and wanted to learn more, but I waited for Flint to be done with it, so that we can finally find Squeaks, and get rid of that Tower, while were at it. Yet, I drifted to sleep, making that cloud must've took alot out of me. Suddenly, I woke up in an instant, and I was once again separated from my body. Mmm, does my subconscious want me to check on them? Suppose I can check, just for a moment, to peek at what his boss was doing about this.

Walked into the Pizza Place, and no one in there noticed my presence, so that's a good thing. Found myself in the freezer, and my, this place looks "literally" cool, heh, gosh these puns are more likely to hurt me than anything else. Peeked through the doorway, and saw his boss, a Cashbot with a round head, and he has one of those big cigar sticks in his mouth, I personally do not smoke, so I don't understand what's so good about them. Also, I'm not as familiar with Cashbots, only knowing that they're focused on the financials, but I can see why he's a boss for him. Flint was telling him about helping with the Tower situation, and of course that little Cashbot wants profit from the panic instead. Yikes, they were arguing aggressively, going back and forth, so I went back to wait a little longer. Yeah, some suits aren't very nice, they need some time away from eachother.

When I came back after a few minutes, to get back in my body, I slightly jumped at the sight of a toon checking up on me. What was weird with this toon, is that he isn't any common toon I've seen here, being a bull, that's when I recognized him. His name is Tact, and he's one of those elite toons, but isn't a leader, both stuck in a HQ, or in general. He's willing to help both Toons and Suits, if us Suits wanted it, and since I did need his help, I thought of asking him about her, after getting up. That bull was shocked that I was still moving, believes me when I say it's been a long day, then I had asked him where Squeaks would go at this time. Surprisingly, he was not good friends with her, she doesn't get his sense of humor, now how can we find her? He had a solution to this, while he can't find her, a friend of his is a friend of Squeaks, so we could teleport to said friend and find who we're looking for. So, we wait for Flint to come back, as I promised we go looking for her together, he did come back, but he was soaked and frowning, saying it's been a long day. Despite being concerned about him, we still need to find and question her on all of this, also WHERE CAN I GET A COAT LIKE HERS?!

As I was walking in the woods, looking for Toonee, 'cause she said 2 meet here, there was a noise. Then I spotted out of the corner of my eye, I saw him, Chip Revvington. He's getting close to me, and I notice, properly looking directly at him, his eyes are blank, and it's like he's staring at me. No, not The Override, first and last time I fought it, I was hurt, launched out of a cannon, then Tact ran inside the building, and really hurt him, 'cause I indirectly reminded him of his past or something, which lead 2 Spruce finding out about this... Monster. I still don't know if Spruce talked about it, after all I stopped going over there, but anyways... RUNNING FOR MY LIFE, FROM THE OVERRIDE, SHARP LIKE A KNIFE, IT'S THE OVERRIDE, A BEAST IN A COGS SUIT, DEADLY AND MONSTEROUS OVERRIDE. Yes, that was a reference to something dumb, I needed to undo the tension.

I ran 2 Cut to the Chase, 2 call out for Spruce, and get him to help calm Chip down. Wasn't sure how he'd help, however considering my situation, I would prefer brute force from a log than some chainsaw man. Suddenly, he stopped moving, and fell to the ground, motionless. Knowing this could be a trick, I pulled out my staff, ready to smack him in the ground for sure. Wait, I'm just noticing his side lights are purple, and he has not spoken at all. Dammit, is she controlling him and trying to teach me a lesson that tortures me? Oy, I suppose, I do learn better in unnatural situations, but can't she teach me about friendship and helping someone like a normal lesson? NOW'S HERE'S THE FUN PART, I had lowered my guard for A SECOND, noting something in the back of the woods that looked purple and- point is she launched him towards me and RUINED MY CHANCE TO HIT! I HATE YOU TOONEE! HEAR THAT?! HATE YO- (BONK)

Well, me, Flint, Tact, his toon friend Zee, we are finally looking for Squeaks. Although it's getting dark, and I don't want to be out for longer, we both still needed to talk about certain things. Now as much as I want to explore the town, I had never ever been in Acorn Acres before, despite the fact that I'm friends with William, who is a Bossbot. Just because I try to be close to him, all the time, I wanted to hang with Rain, because... I'm getting off topic, I had yet to explain that we were looking for, not likely a bat toon, but some custom Suit that has curly black hair, a pale face, and wears a hoodie. When I did explain it to them, they all said they never seen a suit like that before, Flint and maybe Zee I could understand, but Tact not knowing? How could he, of all Toons, not know someone like that? Unconsciously, I walked away from the group, forgetting my balance, and falling down in the dirt. Thought they tried to catch me, or at least warn me, but oddly, they weren't moving at all, not even a muscle, like time itself stopped. As I got up, finally I see Squeaks, in her Suit, with someone else that isn't familiar to me. Was that Toonee, the person she talked about? While she doesn't look like a threat, if anything she looked like a short clown Suit, wearing a purple dress, it looks like Squeaks was knocked out. "Squeaks? Is that really the best name she can come up with?"

Huh? Did I say that out loud? Unless... No way she could- "Read minds? Without the use of those swirly glasses, or some other tool? All I can say is it's magic, like how everything's staying still, just like your 'pals', and you of course." What? But I- "Mmph. Mmm, MMM, MMPH!" Guess she's right, I couldn't even open my mouth, and I haven't heard a thing from the others, so it really was just the two of us. "That's right. Ah, also I should let you know, I am okay with they and it pronouns, 'cause I know you're gonna be thinking about her, don't want the viewer to be confused." I, uh, what?! You know what, no, I'm done playing along whatever you think this is. All I want from her is an apology, so we can fix our mistakes, and try to be friends, meet in the middle, all that stuff. YOU need to leave, and take that Tower with you, because it's stressing out everyone else, including her as far as I can tell!

"... Afraid I can't do that, not 'cause I don't want to, or that I can't move it from there, I've seen both sides buildings jump up in the air. No, it's 'cause it's set to go off in a day's time, FIXING this mistake. ... Want me to make it clearer? Never mind, gonna do it anyways, once it goes off, it will erase this timeline, undoing the stuff that happened. The thing is, I don't attend to set a time to go back to, meaning you might have to witness some bad stuff in your previous life, and your current life. It hasn't happen before, I do remember that, and Sabes here can vouch too, as she's not from this world. That's right, she's no toon or cog, she's something else, well kinda, she's mostly robotic, but takes no damage from gags. You'll have to find me tomorrow if you want to set a time, yawn don't feel like doing it right now. See ya." ... WHAT?!! THIS IS TOO MUCH INFORMATION FOR ME!! YOU KNOW ABOUT MY PAST?!! DID YOU CAUSE ME TO FALL IN THE WATER?!! (Falls) mmm... Time is moving again, and the others noticed my disappearance, asking what just happened and how they didn't realize I fell down. Now I can't begin to try and explain, that Tower will likely restart us tomorrow, even if I won't remember it, and if they don't setup the specific date... I'll see my original home destroyed again... Finally opened my mouth, simply saying that I wanna go back to my HQ, and get fixed properly. That deer toon was about to say something, but Tact covered her mouth, knowing that he couldn't fix what really hurts. He dropped me by my HQ, and left with a single wave, he's the only one who understood how I felt about this.

Not only was I getting my body properly repaired, and getting some rest, but to get my memory of today wiped. There was no way for me to try and stop that mind controlling being, even if I were able to use my powers, and the others were not likely gonna help me if they knew about my encounter with it. Plus, I just wanted to forget, Squeaks, Sabes, or whatever her name is now, and not even deal how much she was hurt as well. We both failed to have a healthy conversation, and she'll have to see everything that went wrong for me this morning, or worse! Just, MMMMMMMMMMMMM, I HATE ALL OF THIS!! I HATE THEM!! I... just wanted to erase the things that happened today, and stay asleep, not even leave for work. It's all over... As soon as I write my report...

Then, after I sent in my personal repair report, a Suit I knew wouldn't talk to anybody normally, came up to me, and tried getting me back on my feet, or in this case, metaphorically, heh. It was Prester, he knew about the Tower timeline situation, the Toonee creature, and who Sabes was... You know what, at my lowest point, who cares if he knows info no one knew. Anyways, he had a plan that could stop it from sending us back, but I needed to be apart of it. Prester, buddy, WHY SHOULD I EVEN TRY?! The thing is that this is an impossible task, saying it's possible won't change my mind, because that thing can change it! WE ARE DOOMED, END OF STORY! After that, he mentions that not everyone will forget about this timeline, and they could end up changing it for the worse, even untenably, trying to prevent the already bad things, like losing someone you care for, or yourself... There was also the fact that everyone I had encountered, amongst some others, were trying their best to be ready for tomorrow, even though they don't know what the Tower will do. While that made me feel a little better, I still feel awful about everything else, and the factory had to erase the memories, hmm, in a way, I don't have a choice in not joining. Told him about that memory erasing, he understood what will happen doing that, and took that as a yes. He also plans to remind me about the cloud flight, which would be hard to remember, if he didn't practically know everything about magic, heh, even though he's the Witch Hunter. Sigh, there's no going back after this.

Cog, what happened? My head hurts like hell, and this doesn't look like my room... Misty, they only have tomorrow, to try and save the town. Oh, if only it was real easy, but I guess for now, it was time for me to sleep. As I was heading 2 rest, I looked at a mirror nearby, to see if I got any marks from Chip. Weirdly enough, not a scratch, thought she would leave one in the spot where my first scar, from the Incident he caused. Suddenly, the mirror revealed what happened after being knocked out, we were knocked out by a big log, straight from Spruce. After he did that, he soon realized that he hit Chip as well, and freaked out hurting his bro. Whether or not the Override is off, hope that they're both ok, as well... UGH, I left her with the crazy psycho, and let it answer everything I was doing, again! PLUS, I failed 2 apologize about the "removing her from work" thing! ... Maybe, it was better if we were separated from each other, or never met at all, and I should have never took that cloud hat. Surprisingly, the mirror changed 2 some 1 else, a toon, but it looked like a sheep instead of any usual toon. Funny, it looked like I was the toon, who I'm gonna call a "she", with her doing my moves, as I was looking at my own body, which was normal. When I decided to touch the mirror, I heard a voice from that toon, her voice- "On three, you have to apologize." ... Ok, maybe it's just Toonee messing with me again, making me feel bad about- "One." Really? H-hey, can't we just talk this out? Y'know, as b-bud- "Two." Can't let go, can't look away, can't move, can only say- "Three!" "I'M SORRY!" As I yelled that, the mirror cracks, making me see my own reflection again. Being alone with my own thoughts, I shut down on the floor, in both ways, saying those final words over and over. I'm sorry. I'm sorry...

______________________________________________________________

Another day of work, yet this time, I feel like I've been tuned up, heh heh. Soon as I was going to the door outside HQ, my work associate Prester wanted to tell me about something in private, when it was usually me who wanted to ask for something. He dragged me into his office, which had neater papers than my own, dim lights, and crossed out pictures of the Litigation Team, since he's bitter about not being one of them. First, he told me that I recently erased my memory apparently, so I didn't know what's going on now. He started to talk about some sort of plan, a tower changing the timeline, stuff I don't get. That is, until he asked to hold out my hands, and then his hands held my own, he was trying to cast a spell... Now I remember something, not just that, someone. She didn't believe that was me, apologized loudly when she realized, then my memory faded from there. Tears were flowing down my face, knowing she's not in a good situation. Not just that, but Prester was crying too, still holding my hands, must've been a side effect, showing me something that made me feel bad. He mentions that it wasn't my emotions that was causing him to cry, but because of the form I saw of her, reminded someone he lost, before coming here. Knowing about where he used to work, and how emotionless he is nowadays, I knew it could be one thing. Soon he told me to get back on track, and put in the idea of my part of the plan. Flint would be at the entrance at the bottom of the Tower, he had one of those climbing gear things, so we don't separate suddenly when we climb. Where I come in to help, besides actually talking to the others, is the fact that the place will prevent the use of our propellers, to go straight up, and that any platforms might just make us lose progress, so I have to use my clouds. How'd I even do that, what was gonna be my next question, was answered with a memory of me making said clouds, just to find her. Remembered that it came out with a feeling, positive ones, and it was caused when I thought about her. Even if I was upset at her, she gave me little moments where I was happy, and made my currently metal heart feel floaty, and the rest of my body of course, heh heh. At that moment, I realized that I was still holding his hands, and I was touching the roof while he was a few inches off the floor, so I relaxed, got back on the ground, he let go of my hands, and sent me off. Do not worry, I will save you, Sabes, as you're known by I guess.

As I got up from crying out on the floor, noticed that the room I was in became more empty, except that mirror was there. Because of course, this was the Tower, I wasn't allowed to leave, NOT EVEN 4 A MINUTE! *huff* Knew I had no choice, but 2 wait for Misty and maybe others to save me. At least I have a view, with the mirror, of that concert that Zee and Tact are holding, because they still had a job to do, which is to have fun. Not the first time I see some concert during a crisis, the last one I was a part of it, and in short, there were so many insects, ones I could not crush. Anyways, it's in Toontown Central, they're playing underneath the gazebo, the toons were cheering on, and as they were at the ending solo, something jumped over them. What a climax, it's the Jr. Vice President, in his Burrow... with a passed out Chip, and taking him into the basement. So at least Chip was not okay, therefore Spruce went 2 Junior for help. The main question I have, is why go to Brian? I guess, 2 fix the Override, but still, the "I don't want to work with anybody else" Brian. Just so y'all know, I don't have an idea where this goes right.

There it was, the Tower, between those two nature areas, the Acres and Gardens. Flint was indeed waiting for me, we'd spoken sometimes, as we were- Oh wait, I said that already, heh heh. Anyways, he didn't know why they were chosen to be the one to help me, but they were gonna help get me up that Tower. They did try to fly up the sides, but because there was stronger winds that prevented him from simply flying to the top, he had no choice, but to wait and go in. Told them if he had that climbing gear, and he did, getting us harnessed together. We entered and see that Prester was right, this looked terrible to navigate already, with tilted steps, some broken, a few missing, otherwise floating, this seemed bad. Also, the fact that there were wooden steps as well stone, and we knew how Flint stresses, yep, this was bad. For a moment I thought we couldn't even start, but came an idea, if I can keep my positivity up, we'll use my clouds as stepping and rest spots, and he can give me ideas, in case I couldn't think of something. Yep, that could work, so onward and upward. Gosh, I sound just like Prester, with the amount of words I keep adding, heh, guess he rubbed off his way of talking, onto me. Now that's some positive thoughts to hang onto, as well as some others about her.

We had gotten to the roof up here, after a few trip ups, so we took a break from going up for a moment. Suddenly, Flint spoke about some people that did not want to deal with this Tower alongside us, like his boss, Cosmo. Before he explained any further, I warned them my memories of yesterday were erased, so if there was somebody I only known since yesterday, he should remind me of who that is. They told me that Cosmo was a money hoarder in simple terms, and that he would rather have some sale before it's too late, than help save even other Suits. The fact his boss won't try to do anything, not even send his other workers, kind of makes them upset, but luckily we aren't on wood. Also, he mentioned how Graham wanted to help, then realized we hadn't met, and yet I told them that I knew who he was. While he's someone I hadn't met that day, as far as I know, I had known about him for some time now. See, Flint had talked about him in most conversations, mentioning him so many times, it seemed like they were a thing. Heard he was a musician and when I caught his Suit name, I searched for the music he made and listened to it, when I felt like I needed a start up to my day. However, I have not met the man himself, so beyond those things, I barely know a thing about him. Now Flint was a bit flustered that I knew much about him, and the idea of being a thing with him made it more hot in the face, as well as me actually enjoying his music, heh. Once they regained their composure, he told me that Graham wants fame, to be a hero in others eyes, not just to them, and that he would of tried getting up here in seconds, then fail and ask us for help. While that does sound like something he'd do, if he wanted to be popular, why didn't he come with us?

"It's 'cause he's a coward, when facing something that proves to be stronger than him." Oh yes, had 2 make sure they heard me, and in a way I'm glad, this means they're here to rescue me, both Misty and Flint. Am I gonna get a mouthful from him, saying bad things about that speed freak? Y'know, whatever happens, it won't matter in the end. Misty called out to me, asking if I was okay, course I was, at least physically, she then asked if there was a way in there. Well, suddenly a hatch door appeared, the only thing that's between those two and me, and will unlock on my side, which only appears when OTHERS need in. *sigh* Right, gotta let them in, and show off my true form, I'm still Sabes after all this time. Once I opened it and they got through, they finally saw me, of course Flint was confused at first, he didn't know about me actually being something else, however he knew that I had a suit-like body. What was interesting, Misty just looked at me in silence, probably trying to figure out what to say next. After all, they shouldn't even remember me at all, since their memories of that whole day were removed, course that magic suit gave her some memories, but she shouldn't fully remember. Literally as I was to speak, soon she went up to me, held her arms out and... Went in for a hug, like I'm some old friend, or that I'm hurt real badly, which I AM NOT. As I was tearing up and being confused, I asked why, after being the cause of everything these last daysd, WHY WOULD SHE EVEN DARE HUG ME? Her answer? "Well, I thought we both needed it after everything, you know, us getting up here, and you being trapped. Also, I wanted to say thanks, for apologizing before I forgot about you for a short time, it gave me reason to get way up here, maybe farther." ... *sniff* Heh, I don't really know what to think. Last time I tried making friends the way I did with her, it took multiple days, and that was when I had some corruption going on. Wanted to let go from the hug, but I couldn't, felt like 4 ever since I got 1, I... We needed to deal this Tower problem quickly, and tell Toonee to knock it off.

______________________________________________________________

Ugh, what happened? Before I recall, let me see where I am... There was nothing. Nothing but a dark and endless room, a room I recognized... No, it's fine, this was likely a bad dream, just needed to wake up. Let me wake up, please. ... Again, nothing had happened. Well, I wouldn't be conscious if I was being fixed, and I can't be stuck as that Override, that would lead to the worst kinds of things. Spruce getting hurt, anybody getting fired out of a cannon, again, and... Oh no, am I already being repaired by someone who doesn't know what they're doing? Is this some punishment for what I've done? Let me just think about it, I don't know what happened, one moment I was doing my paperwork, the next, I'm here in my mind. There was nothing to get upset about back at there, and... Oh nevermind, the point is, I remember nothing since that and now, so something or someone got in, shut me off, and likely used the Override. Now I'm stuck here, unable to get out from the darkness, or ask what's going on...

Hold it, I hear another voice. It sounds like... I turned around to see Mr. Virgil, of the Stone & Iron District. We rarely talked, mostly on my side, because of me being busy and the- Well, I know it by now. He told me that my body was being fixed by the Sellbots, that brain one is trying to fix important parts, while Junior is working on the rest. Weird, I thought that Suit wouldn't do anything, but watch TV and complain about being at meetings. He had also mentioned a tower, which would reset time far back by the end of the day, if he wasn't planning something. At this point, I am not gonna question that, he's more advanced in magic things than anyone else. Now, did he know why I had to be fixed here? Yes, he did, there was this creature, that was neither toon or suit, and had likely controlled me for a short time to get close to- Squeaks?! Why did it go for me, just to go after her anyways?! Apparently Squeaks knew about this tower, and the best way to stop it, and that thing didn't want that, plus it couldn't control her for certain reasons. Then, while possessed, Spruce smacked me and her with a log and got it out, which is why I'm being fixed. You know, he could of hit a little softer... Actually, then again, it's Spruce. Now with that cleared up, I had to ask another question, why is he of all people telling me this? Simply put, he's the only one who can do this mind stuff. Besides, this gives enough time to talk about my part of the plan, wait, but I thought... vrr Fine, whatever, what's that plan of yours?

First, I was taken into a Toon Schoolhouse in the Central Oil District, because the factories were not available, and it was the only way to not have the Override. That's a bullet dodged, they would of broken me down again, put me in Override permanently. Then after I'm fixed, me and some others will... Vergil, you can't be serious. I can't just attack someone who just took my body, if that thing even has a body, and if it does why- Yes, to break and traumatize her, with the incident, and keep her still to get her back, right. Seriously, absolutely under no circumstances, am I gonna fight that thing. eir Yes, I get it, I'm pretty strong and can try breaking it for revenge, but Spruce... WHAT- Ahem, so Vergil can take others while sleeping, and put them in the same area, a "dream world" in simple words. Problem was, how much intelligence someone has, actually makes the body look like how it supposed to be, and even I admit, Spruce isn't all that smart. So, to my surprise, when looking around, I saw him as a little beaver, and not like one of those special critters, a normal one, yet he's green and still got his wood hat and mouth log. Well, if he's not upset 'bout looking like this, I'll admit that's cute.

Back to the matter at hand, what's my motive? Well, some other lives are on the line, and yes, changing the timeline for the worst is at risk. A better question, rather, how do we even beat it?! No matter what could happen, we are most likely to lose! Spruce gripped my hand with his paw, that made me slightly calmer, so I let them explain further. Virgil said that those critters out there are setting up a way to get us up there, using a vehicle with high speed and air time, to make us get there and quick. Why, in this world, would you let them toons help? This really is the end, someone like him asking for help. Both of them made me feel better about what happens with the time stuff, and eventually convinced me to join the plan, if only 'cause I just stopped asking questions about all of this at that point. Oh Spruce, I wish I'd told you about my Override sooner, if you were fine just knocking me out of it. After talking with them one last time, they left me alone, here, in my mind. Hope that I wake up soon...

Okay, now back to me, after our hug time was over, a opening to the top appeared, because why not. We're just a couple steps away, to save the day, when Misty decided to ask me something, about why Toonee wants 2 go back in time specifically. Sigh, she needed it to be spelt out, even though there were many signs, wait, she only met them once. Right, Toonee's reasoning is "simple", I befriended you the wrong way, so they'll "start everything all over", and I'm not sure how far she's gonna 2 go, but showing that we're friends now, will make her stop doing that, it'll mean I learned things, something she likes. Both of them were surprised, and Flint felt like they were gonna go and sit this one out, since we were not really pals. Yeah yeah, last minute answers, changes everything, but still, we need to stop her. I am not having another third act misunderstanding, that was during the TV scene. Let's just hope this plan will work, yeah I know about his plan, through that portal thing earlier, but I doubt it'll work.

Honestly, I was shocked! Erasing memories, of mine, and others, this place I call home, just for teaching her a lesson about friendship, that's really, really wrong! You know what, I'm gonna hope that they get hurt by the others real bad, just for that! Anyways, we had finally reached the top floor of the Tower, where the winds were at the wildest, the clouds being a purplish grey, and in front of the three of us was her. That monster was just standing there, wasn't sure what its's planning to stop us, but we'll try to be ready. Even when I felt like I was at my angriest, I confronted her, and calmly told them to stop the time reset, adding on the fact we both understood, that we are friends at least in a protective way. ... She couldn't? I- is she not a reality controller, where setting up the Tower was no problem? Either way, my patience has dropped, and I end up unleashing a Storm Cell attack directly on them, without the others getting hurt. When the light and smoke cleared, there was nothing in front of us, and for a second, I thought they were no more. Yet I couldn't move anything but my eyes, and I can only assume that at least Flint is the same, she's still around and causing problems. Felt a hand on my shoulder, but it was Sabes, looking terrified from what I could see, turning me around halfway, and I realized attacking what I just said a reality controller, wasn't the best idea. Heh, heh...

Well golly gee. I thought you would play nicer 'round both of us, after what had happened yesterday. T-Toonee, please, not now, not her- I had to make sure she was ready for a friendship again, after leaving her last friends. H-hey, you know it was my choice, I can go back to them- So what a surprise, a messy haired, pale skinned, and mostly machine girl, goes against me, guess you two aren't all that different. Besides the fact that you're a Toon, and she was humane. Wait, I'm confused, what do you mean-LET ME SPEAK! I know that magic machine plan, to try and get me down to your level. Well, believe me, if they want to fight, I'll give them a fight, above the clouds. However, the rest of you will have to make your own entrance, if only weather girl could control her emotions, then she could get through. ... Also I can't stop this time thing, because it's already erasing the timeline, and if I stop it, it could break this world completely, but I can change how much time is removed in a snap. Sooooo, ta ta!

______________________________________________________________

"After all that, I suddenly wake up, feeling a lot of pain, all over my body. At that moment, all I saw was darkness, but I could make out a few things around me, like a wooden thing I was laying on. So this wasn't the dream world, but where is everybody? Well, can't lay here all day, gotta save the people. After I got up, which surprisingly didn't hurt, I left the room, up the stairs and went outside. This was the main area of the Central Oil District, but for the moment, I didn't see many critters. Then, I saw it, my closest pal Spruce, and that horrid cow, were building a odd cannon and putting some big wheelbarrow into it. ... This was it? Also, Spruce, someone I care about, is working with The One, who by the way, punctured holes in my body like I'm some golf course, and nearly KILLING ME OVER SOMEONE ELSE?! This is why I think of him as not being the smartest, it's not even something to take us all the way over there! That cow had the NERVE to wave to me, and explain how we get up there! Oh, Toon Logic shall make it big for us big Suits, and use the colored cloud to bounce us up there, to the top of that tower, it's that easy?! VRR LIKE I COULD TRUST YOU, COW, YOU TRIED ENDING MY LIFE, ALL BECAUSE YOU HATE BROTHERS!! AND, and... Wow, look at me, getting angry, without The Override, it's weird, I would of snapped at that point."

"Still, what can be big enough for, at least, me and Spruce? Apparently, a wheelbarrow, without it's wheels, and some exhaust pipes. Alright, but if this fails, and I don't come back, I'm gonna haunt the rest of your days. So, Prester got in first, and- Wait, Spruce, you're not coming? You rather stay here, with these Critters, and the other Suits, until I come back? What if I- He stopped me from finishing that question, as if to say, stop talking and get a moveon. Well, lets hope we meet again. There was someone else joining us, a deer Toon, likely a friend with that cow, or bull, as he prefers, in case that thing is harder to hit target, like if it dodges every attack I make. Ready to be launched, see y'all soon. As we were saying our goodbyes, I noticed something, in the distance. Fog, which could only happen, when the temperature's messed up. There was a bad feeling in me, and not physically like I was hurting, it felt like, once I left, the fog will take them, and I'll never see them again. Tried getting out, but it was too late, the sling threw us over, to that Tower."

Grr, Toonee, making things complicated, with her treating these lessons like Lesson Zero, of MLP. She's floating too high for us 2 fly up there, and also, the weather is still bad. Oh, I'm so sorry for even trying 2 be a friend, to u, Misty. Now, this world is straight up screwed, and I'll never try making a new friend, ever again. Then, just when I thought it was all over, something, or someone, jumped over us, but it wasn't Prester, Chip, anyone I was expecting, rather it was... Graham?!! Wow, he must really be in love with Flint, if he's willing to run up here, and smack some sense into her. They both deny anything romantic, but I think we all know. Oh, what's this? The expected ones are here, the two I'd mentioned, and Snee-Zee, who's wearing flying gear and some tools, riding... THE BURROW?!! HE GAVE HIS RIDE AS A LAUNCHED PART?! I mean, it's just shocking, that he would even try 2 help, even if he didn't want 2 fight, heh. Everyone was fighting up there, somehow, maybe Toon Logic keeps the clouds like bouncy or regular platforms, so they don't fall. Wish I could go up there. Whoa, Misty, you're gonna go up there, and resolve this, once and for all? Mmm, won't stop you, but take my special stick, in case she tries, and does, ignore u, or even attack u. You'll figure out how it works. Also, you're welcome, and good luck.

I sense everyone up there, who were willing to help, Prester, Graham, that chainsaw guy, Zee, many were, in a way, helping me, even though they don't know what will happen. It's still not enough, I need to actually have her listen to me, and after that, I can only hope. So I asked Squeaks, if I can try and confront her about this, alone, please, she allowed it. She's really letting me do this, on my own. This must be true friendship, working together, even if it's only one person and a tool. Strangely, she gave me a metal stick weapon, to use against her. Well, I don't think I'll be attacked at all, but thank you, and hope to see you again. Gotta use my cloud power, to get up there, and be ready to stop this. Breath in... Breath out... Okay, here I go.

Finally, I saw what was happening, chaos, and lights. Still, I held my ground, and went towards Toonee. She was attacking Prester, so I called her out on hurting people, just to teach Squeaks a lesson. At that moment, we were glaring at eachother, Graham called us, and we stopped staring. Right, I had to say to her, about my friendship lessons, through a song, and get her to stop this. It seems as I was singing, the toon pulled out a guitar, as well as Prester, who's harmonising with me. Wait, her stick, it can be used as a mic, so that she can hear me better, everyone else too. Soon enough, we were slowly floating back to the Tower's top, both Flint and Graham joined in the song, but Squeaks still wasn't singing, nor the Chainsaw suit, for that matter. Even though they did not sing yet, I knew it would be soon, because when Flint and I put focus on Chip, found his name from Flint that moment, he sang as well. Guess Squeaks, er, Sabes, didn't want to do any singing, but we only had seconds together, and I felt that all she wanted in the moment, was a hug. So, she and I hugged, closed my eyes, the sun had finally set, and-

I wake up, on my dock, in a somewhat foggy environment. Last I remember, I was hugging someone, but I don't think I remember who, now I'm back here. Wait, the Tower, a song, Toonee, but I can't figure out who I hugged. It wasn't a toon, or maybe they were. Should I send an apology letter, even though I don't know where they live? Then, as I thought to myself about what had happened, and I asked other questions, suddenly there was a voice.

Hey, so bad news, she did turn back time, the good, only up 2 early morning of yesterday. Right after I had said hello to everyone, before I'd talked 2 you. Oh, u probably don't remember me, so, uh, introductions. Hi, my name is Sabes, I'm not a suit, or a toon, but something else. No, u cannot have my hoodie. I'm here 2 try and make friends, but as you can see, uh, it's hard for me to even speak. It's not like I don't have any friends around here, there's toons, that help both sides, and the Jr. Sellbot, so I'm not totally alone. Well, mmm, for the most part, this isn't the form I usually take around here. See, I can become a bat toon, and I go by-

Squeaks? Oh, it is you... I... sniff I was not ready to die again, especially if I remember everything... Sorry for getting dark there, lets just sit here, for a while... You know, could you introduce me to them, again? It would be nice to make some new friends. One more thing, would it bother you, if I hummed a few songs? None of them are Ip Dip, rather, some songs that actually makes me feel happy, each time I hum it. Oh, you wanna sing with me? Alright, here's a song for you.

Misty and Sabes at the Docks, singing a song. Not any particular song at the moment, because I couldn't figure out Misty's song.

Segment 2: Fix Us. (A More Original Story)

I get angry, I fight these Critters, I toss them out or they defeat me, I get fixed, repeat. That's how it's always been, since I got this job as a Regional Manager. That is, until that bat, Squeaks, wanted me to sing and fight, when she should know it's impossible. Both that monster and I can't sing, for whatever reason you want us to do that, while fighting with your friends, there is no reason for me to try! Same thing goes for meeting the other Managers, I don't want to be near them, don't wanna be near me! You yelling at me to do something you want doesn't work, and it'll activate- After that, my mind blanked, for a moment, it means they started the Override. Just because I don't have control of my body yet, I could hear things during this, and while I did hear the other Critters, didn't hear Squeaks. Did she scamper off, and left these creatures, once I was hostile to her? Does the Override have a mind of it's own, and tossed her out with a cannon, because of her questions? At that point, it was time for me to take control of it, the usual attacks happen, and it was fine. Then, the moment everything changed, came after me.

It was only a few seconds, but I remember everything, that moment. First, the running noises, with some growling, were among the first things I heard. Once the door slammed open into the wall, I could see some fellows. The one who opened the door was a Critter, a cow, unique in the sense that I don't see a lotta farm Critters here anymore. He seemed mad, like I did something personal to him, likely because I had hurt the bat. Next, I saw a female deer behind him, looking worried, wanting to stop him, but she can't calm him down, at least not yet. Finally, I saw two familiar faces, right behind them, Squeaks, who had one of her eyes covered, and Spruce... He knows what I'm like behind closed doors now, he knows about the destruction I cause, he knows what the Override looks like. Although, I didn't think about it at all at the time, because not only was it taking over, but the cow was attacking me. The fight between me and the cow, started the moment I stopped controlling that Override. That's when I blacked out.

When I woke up, the damage was done, everyone was gone, and the door was shut. Everything hurts, think there was punctures on my body, this was the worst I've ever felt. The door opened slightly, and I thought it was Spruce, wanting to hear what happened, I was wrong. It's that annoying bat toon, Squeaks, who's likely the reason I got jumped by that other one. Would've yelled at her, about forcing me to do things and causing problems, until she showed me her covered left eye. It was like her eyelid was on wrong, and some oil, ink, whatever it was, coming out of it. Did... I do that? No, nononononono, NO. She needs to leave RIGHT NOW, while I go and get repairs from the HQ. I say one more thing to her, and it hurt her as much as it hurts me, to NEVER COME BACK TO THIS BUILDING, EVER AGAIN. She leaves without a word, and I mentally fall apart, knowing that Spruce, someone I care about, saw me as a monster. This was just the beginning of my problems, because when I went to my HQ, the ones who fix me, they planned on making the Override "better". Not on that day, were they gonna do it, no idea when it'll happen, but it's likely bad, maybe worse than last update. If they make changes to this thing, I might not be myself ever again, so after being patched up, I tried to not let Toons, or even Suits, inside my building. Yes, in a way, this is me taking a break, but they allowed it, and hopefully I just write papers, for the rest of my miserable, horrid life.

Weeks had passed since befriending Misty, but months since seeing Chip. I mean, I would of last seen him on the day our friendship started, and he ends up hurting me again, but thank Toonee for that, that timeline's gone. About our friendship first, Misty and I go over 2 that Pizzaria once a week, sometimes Flint's nearby, and we talk lots about stuff in life, and if Pluto or his henches spots us, we leave but give a money tip. Ya know who else hangs around the Pizzaria, Snee-Zee and Tact. I still consider them friends, but I don't like going near Tact, who was the 1 to bring real harm 2 Chip. See, Toons have a unique trait, my kind has the ability 2 fly and hear more, while cat toons, like what Zee was, have flexibility and claws. Bulls like him, other than the horns and strength, has very high emotions, like when he's angry, he gets really mad. What did he get angry about? That's, heh, a funny thing, accidentally reminded him about family stuff, yeah, sounding real familiar, when I tried 2 tell Spruce about hangin' out more with Chip, despite my scar, and being launched towards him. Cog, I am really stupid. Tact was fighting Spruce, with Snee-Zee, and when I mentioned family, Tact decided to run into the building, and attack Chip with all his might 4 no reason. Y'know, I think I gotta talk to Spruce, and see if Chip's okay, or something.

Understand, I don't go near the building, even refuse teleporting 2 Bossbot to avoid going near it, but I still go through the Acres. Was lookin' out for dangers, when I heard a blast, and saw some Bossbots wearing grey, flying without propellers, then falling, heh. ... Oh, he shouldn't be... Maybe that was the HQ banquet guests, you know us toons likes firing suits, for some bosses, whatever, he should be around here. Then I found Spruce, and he's worried about Chip, says the guy who would of knocked him out, with a log, not knowing what was wrong. So, you guys did talk about it? Wait, no? You just didn't go into his office, even after all of that? Chip said I should not to be in the building, not you. Did you not talk about what happened that day, or you just thought that was normal behavior from him now? I...YOU PLANNED TO SEND HIM OVER TO THE HQ, THE MOMENT DUDE'S OUT COLD?!!!! Didn't say that part out loud, mainly cause he's technically right, Chip needs a fix, but from what I heard, he'll be a changed man, and I don't think he knows how bad or violent the Override would get. MMM, I'm not hearing the cannon noises anymore, and can't apologize while he's out cold, so had to wait 'til he's in HQ and fix this.

It was night, and I was in my regular form, ready to get in. See, the workers would likely spot me, and keep me away from him, so the only way in was to be a part of the suits, and break in secretly. Also, why he was taken in, and was in Override mode, it's because Toons manage to get into his office, by breaking the window, and straight up stressed him out, and do the usual stuff. To find the place he was being kept at, had 2 ask 1 of those high tier Rangers for a map of the area, think it was the pig, and gave my thanks. Made sure no 1 was roaming around, before I made my move. Waow, so this is the Bossbot Factory, it's neat, no obstacles that are confusing, unlike the golf courses, however there was still a problem. There are plenty of Goons and cameras, but I can skip past them, hiding in the shadows. Got to the area he's in, and uh oh, I see him on 1 of those operation tables, and with bars around his chest and legs, like Frankenstein's Monster. After I saw him, heard someone walking in, had to hide in the upper area, and see what's gonna happen. It was that 4 armed skelecog, named Jason, he's the Bossbot Secretary for the CEO, and I guess takes care of Chip and his Override. Oh, what doesn't that Cog do?

Being scared for an operation is normal, but it being for something destructive, it terrifies even me. I'll rush in, if that Override starts attacking Jason, even if he's a part of the problem. Mmm, gotta come up with a better name than Override, 2 long for me. Heard a button push, and a loud slam sound that would of made my heart pop out, if I had a real one. What happened was Jason turned it on, open the latches, and it stomped the floor when released, so far it's still safe. Then I took a peek at it, the eyes of that thing, beaming white in this dim room, seemingly looking around for something before- Ah, pluck. It stares in my direction, like I'm it's prey, ready to put me down when I get out of the area. The first time, it hurt me while as a toon, second time Toonee used it to surprise me, now I'll surprise it, and show off my true power. Wait... THEN STRIKE! There comes a loud sound, the moment our weapons, the chainsaw and my stick, clashed. At the moment, I just needed to knock him down, get it to stop moving, didn't even care if... Actually, I should stop Jason, at least prevent him from getting out, and warning others about the battle or me. Had the advantage of actually dodging, while they barely move, unless I'm in range. Thrown a barrel of sticky tar at Jason, round his body and mouth, hopefully knocking him out. Now, it's 1 on 1.

Ugh, damn Toons, and just when I was considering opening up again, they break my window, use those Gags against me, and knock me out, again. Well, don't think it can get any worse- Hold on, how long was I out? More importantly, where am I now? Did I get sent to the Factory? Oh no, Spruce, should of told you about why I dont try- CLANG NO NO NO, not good at all! I don't want to hurt nobody for no reason! Just... Unfortunately, I can't use my old method of gaining control, forcing myself into hacked systems, it seems. All I can do, is to wait for everything to stop, then try to gain control. While I waited for a chance, I had heard someone familiar, but unrecognizable, for some reason. Then it hit me, mentally and physically, as she muddered about trying to help, Squeaks?! That flying rat is attacking me... no, the Override, when she could of STAYED OUT OF MY BUSINESS!! Well, guess what, you are doing a good job at holding out by yourself, but I NEED to stay fixed, even if I am just a monster now! PLEASE STOP!!! Suddenly, she did stop, as I don't feel anymore hits, still in pain, though at least she stopped. Did she... Not right now, Chip, try to take control of yourself. I try going over to my systems, at least to see. Yet, I can't move, legs, arms, anything even in this void-like area. ... Squeaks, what have you done?

Heh heh, okay problem 1, can't let Jason remember any of this, so I'll try and clean a couple hours of his memory bank, and set up an excuse, like something he wanted to forget. Also, he's gonna be out 'til morning. Problem 2, Chip ain't moving, after that last swing. He's just lying there, like he's... I know my true power was strong, but I did not want to be too strong 4 him. HRRR, WHY CAN’T I ACTUALLY THINK THINGS THROUGH, BEFORE I DO THEM?! JUST- Breathe. Let me just see the damage, and figure out what to do from here. Gonna feel gross about this, touching the equivalent of his guts, but I need to save him. Got some blueprints scattered around, to figure what's right and wrong, and started fixing him up, though I went auto somewhat, having my body fix things on it's own, while I don't see what's happening. As I was in my own mind palace, thought to myself, how am I gonna get through this traumatizing event? By miracle, got him working and he started to wake up. So, he's gonna yell at me, see this form and question it, then yell at me, or just straight up scar me again. Turns out, it's neither of those 3, rather, I locked him into, gonna put this down carefully, a Override that sees me as it's master. He'll explain from his perspective in a moment. Wish I knew beforehand, that it was the recent stuff, what he did NOT want. God dammit.

It felt... Weird, being awake while getting fixed. Usually I'm drained of power before being fixed, now I'm just awake. Anyways, at least she seems to know what's she doing, since I haven't blanked out even once. Soon, I was up and running again, or so I thought. Still was in that void, which was light now, and despite being able to move, trying to find a way out, but couldn't. That's when I heard it's voice. AWAITING COMMAND. vrrrrrrr That's it. She had offically ruined my life, by picking out the wrong instructions. I can't even- Is she trying to talk to me, despite being the Override now? RELAYING MESSAGE FROM VISION.

CHIP, I'M SORRY ABOUT ALL OF THIS, I CAN'T THINK CLEARLY DOING ANYTHING, NOW I'VE HURT U AND LOCK U IN THE BAD 1! IF I COULD LEAVE U ALONE, I WOULD, BUT AS U SAID, "THEY" WILL MAKE THINGS WORSE, I'M SORRY! *sad face* I mean, there might be someone that could fix this, but we have to take u 2 a different place, 2 prevent your thing from attacking suddenly. By the way, do u have a name for it? Sayin' the Override is a lil' annoying, even 4 u, again sorry, for getting off topic, but I just want 2 know. Anyways. May I get u help, pretty pls?

______________________________________________________________

First, how'd she do that with her mouth? Second, I got to see her, and she looks like us Suits, without an actual suit, likely why she got inside the building. Third, Squeaks, you're right in getting me help, so I'll ask for anyones help, if you think they'll stop it. Last, I don't really have a name for the Override, never assumed it could even be sentient, or got attached emotionally. Unless the tooniness around you affected it, and made it like that. HA, like that could happen to someone like me. Note: I had no idea where she was taking me, could not ask, unless she did understand me when I said stop, still too nervous to say things anyways. Heard lots of sounds in a pattern, must be in that music place, with Cashbot HQ nearby. My first thought was that she's taking us to the HQ, no, that's unlikely, from what I know from Spruce. Wait, does this means she's taking me to-

DAVE BRUBOT! Heh, couldn't help myself. Anyways, Dave is the best candidate for stuff Bossbot related, and also the interdimensional thing, knowing about the Override. Forgot to mention that Dave has that, all versions of hymn can use unatural powers of sorts. Explains the second phase and High Roller, and as much as I want 2 talk about it more, I need hymn to help Chip first. Seems like he's busy, with a show still going on, but of course, one version of hymn was available. Wanna know why I needed his help, but not fix Chip straight up? Because, was wondering if he could make it speak like normal Suits, and 2 make it not attack without proper command. Plus, too much of his power could damage Chip and the Override, so had to be careful on that. He got 2 work, and I waited, listening to the show in the background. Yes, I worried about potential damage, thinking if there was another way, but Toonee would of forced a lesson again, so if anything, made the right decision. Did I? ...

Anyways, he got it done less than an hour, so I have time to deal with the other problem. Came up with a name for the Override before I checked in, wanted it 2 be a pun, called it Dip, hah, you guys get it. Yes, those Bossbot dorks were fine, still a little scratched. However Chip, or rather Dip, said something that honestly surprised even Dave. Likely, it surprised Chip too, but he was still trapped in his mind, so I couldn't see the look on his face.

WHAT HAD HAPPENED? THE URGE TO PROTECT MYSELF AND OTHERS IS GONE. YET, I'M STILL HERE. Wow, it can think now. Don't know if this'll be better or worse for others. I HEAR YOU, DESPITE NO ONE ELSE HEARING YOU. UNLESS, THEY ALSO HEAR THROUGH YOUR MIND. ... What do I even say to that? Don't answer or question that. May you ask Squeaks, where we go now? OF COURSE, HE WANTS ME TO TELL YOU-

Already on it, boys. First, thank you Dave, for everything tonight, see you soon. Now, we are gonna go over to a toon, but before you get upset, the toon is NOT Tact. Obviously I don't want you 2 go to him, after his anger issues kicked in, and well, kicked you out. While he is 1 of those "work with Toons or Suits" types, there's someone else, besides me. See, this is related to Dave, which is why you don't really see hymn getting fixed, he gets help from that toon, when he needs fixing. That toon is Winn Dos, despite her fellow smart guy not wanting her around the Suits, she's quite a helpful bud, when fixing them. I'm sure she'll fix you properly, and make it so you 2 don't have to go to Bossbot for maintenance 4 a long time. Maybe even make you stronger to attacks. What do y'all say?

GETTING CONFORMATION FROM THE OTHER VOICE. On one hand, I do want control over my body, it has been a long time, since you came into the picture. The other hand, well, you started speaking to me, and I have NO idea what would happen once I am fixed. Understand, I know what you're capable of, but- YOU AREN'T READY TO SAY GOODBYE YET, I AM AS WELL. YOU, DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA OF WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO EITHER OF US?

I... Don't know. ... Then what do I do then? Just let you 2 go free? Because the other suits can and will find you, and, just... AAA! Can't even think of a better solution. Can't do any thing right. I can't- Can't- I am a awful being. Awful, awful, awful. ,.,

SEEMS THAT YOU HAVE A SHUTDOWN WHEN THINGS DO NOT GO YOUR WAY. HE ALSO WAS THAT WAY AS WELL, WHEN I WAS MINDLESS AND CORRUPTED. How'd you-? Well, I still likely will do that, but y'know what, yeah, we should get fixed up, and my control, even if there's risks. Squeaks, we shall go for your idea, if it makes you feel better, and understand, you are not worthless. ... Did she answer silently? SHE SHAKED HER HEAD UP AND DOWN, THAT IS A YES. Well, lead the way, not like I know where to go.

______________________________________________________________

I changed back into my toon form, after a couple minutes of crying. Okay, for a while, I had no idea where that rabbit and mouse lived, like everyone else, including Brian. That is, until Dave gave me a way 2 call, at the very least, Winn, she or Mac always answers it, and sends a portal on our way. I have anxiety, so it's really hard for me to call someone, can't let these 2 talk though, so I must prevail. Oh, wanted to turn off the phone call, right then and there, specifically since it's Mac talking, but I told him straight up that I needed 2 come over there, he accepted the answer. Had hid Chip in my portable black hole, he and maybe Dip must be scared of what's happening. The good thing is Winn's awake, told her if there was a room for Cog parts, they got the hint, and made sure Mac wouldn't follow. After we were safe, pulled them out, Winn nearly shrieked, but stopped herself. I asked how we can keep the Override, so no 1 suspects a thing, but have him more controlled, also the less hurt thing. They got the right thing 4 the job, a machine that will fix something inside his hardware. She shuts him off, and got started on the fix. Problem is, she needs 2 fix some of the outside stuff, and does not have enough time to help him with the hardware stuff before Mac gets curious, I volunteer 2 help him myself, couldn't be that bad. Before I went in though, she warns me that by going in, things could change and go after me, yadda yadda, not worried, lets go!

Now I'm in his dark mind, ready to take out whatevers the problem. Before I got far, someone grabbed my arm, thought it was Chip or Dip, but it felt... Soft yet painful. Gotta say, it's so familiar, that I could hear my own heartbeat, because the idea of who it is, scares me. Woulda saw who it was, if I still felt their hold of my arm, but it had disappeared, before I coulda turn. Walked instead of ran after that, in full defense mode, unsure what will happen next. Still, had to find Chip, face his demons, and maybe, he can fight off mine, if just so it feels even. Something is watching me, HE might be watching me, or even IT is watching, but I can't give up now. Of course, I gave in and just called for Chip, didn't know if Dip could answer, and I saw a shadow jump over me, too fast for me 2 make out any shapes, at first. OOO MY GOD, it was someone I recognized, but not who I was expecting, rather, it was... Me! A version of me that was like the Override, but I got rid of it a while ago, before going to Toontown. When it saw me with those glowing purple eyes, there is 1 thing I had to say at that moment, AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-

Hmmm? What was that noise? Sounded like Squeaks, why would she enter my mind, if she knew how risky it is? Also, where's my monsters, like the Override or Robert, but even worse? Wh- VRRRRRRRR oh, here it comes. My body ends up tearing itself apart, then puts me back together again, different than what I usually look like, my clothes torn and my arms are also chainsaws, but I couldn't tell if there was something else. This was one of the least bad thoughts I get, however, nothing happened yet, so it could become worse. Still, gotta see what that critter's up to, since she wanted to help. Of course, I couldn't move, because I needed to be ordered to do something, despite her screaming out for me. Y'know, had Spruce kept me back in my office, I don't think I would of seen her ever again, and I may as well have been dead, after another attack. Thinking about that gave me an idea, I focused on the people who care about me, Spruce, Flint, any others at the moment, and suddenly, I could start moving on my own again, no commands. Rushed over to where I last heard her, but then, another voice told me to stop, and it wasn't Robert, this voice was feminine, but it wasn't Squeaks, too soft of a voice. Looked around a bit, then I saw a figure, with a diamond shaped bottle for a head. Crystalline, even when I'm at my worst, she somehow makes me feel better, with one spray from her bottle. The problem is, I hate that, I want to express how I feel my own way, whether or not it's a good idea! She is trying to hold me back from helping someone, so let me say this! LET. ME. GO!

Okay so, to keep it somewhat short, he raced towards me, but did not know I would try 2 hurt him too, as that other version of me took my body, also WOW HE IS LITERALLY CHAINSAW MAN NOW! YES WITH THE ARMS AND TORN SUIT! Had to do 1 of 2 things, try and get my control back, or go through my Chip trauma. Chose the latter, didn't care anymore, I let my eye get cut up again, the thing leaves my body 4 the moment, he feels bad about hurting me, I say when it happened the third time, you get used 2 it- Cog. Smacked the glass of that suit that was running towards him, and she(think it a she) fell apart into goo, after then I realized he doesn't remember the second time he hurt me, because that timeline doesn't exist. Almost let him touch my shoulder, to tell me it's okay if he doesn't remember, I pulled back before he touched me, cause DUDE HAS CHAINSAW ARMS NOW, YOU COULD HAVE HURT ME WHILE I WAS DOWN, THINK, WITH YOUR MIND- Getting off topic, we had 2 face a new problem, together. My, whatever it was, and his, whoever it was, are working together to become a new threat, literally. It changed into an amalgamation of both our enemies, mostly looked like Tact and others I don't wanna talk about yet. Both me and Chip learnt something from this, he learned to control his more violent side, as Dip was appearently with him this whole time, and I learned TRAUMA DUMPING IS GOOD. Actually, I admit my flaws while fighting the monster, and I think it attacked less, swear if it was Toonee lesson things again- Also after it was destroyed, I told him about her, and a little bit about the lost timeline, the parts he was in, he'd probably not want 2 hear all about Misty, and he understood that timeline was messed up, but we're cool now. Right, we should get back to the real world, and see if everything's fixed.

______________________________________________________________

Waking up to a messy room, is pretty nostalgic for me, what is not nostalgic, is waking up to a rabbit, staring down my face with a scowl. We got caught, but instead of getting us out ASAP, Mac tried helping us with the exterior of Chip, likely cause he didn't understand what was going on inside. Winn tried sneaking out for some pieces of plastic, and while stealthy, got caught last second by tripping on the doorframe, and made Mac see a Suit and toon connected 2 a bunch of things. It only tried to help 2 get us out faster, however Winn was worried about disconnecting us, without really knowing the consequences, so Mac chose to wait 4 us 2 wake up on our own, and ask what happen in there. Gave him the shorter version, dude starts taking notes about the experience, and I don't want him to find out about my real form, so those parts are changed. After that, we realised that Chip hadn't woke up yet, despite him definitely wanting to leave before he has to work, or something about Spruce. Hopefully I wasn't the only 1 to notice it, but his bulbs were blinking in a pattern, both green and red, kind of like morse code, but I know understand morse that well, or if it's the same kind as- anyways. Told Mac to leave us alone, THEN we'll leave, it needed to review the notes anyways, ask Winn how they fixed Chip that's different from Dave, and other questions. I tried getting Chip to talk 2 just me, and he woke up.

... Sorry, about all of this. Never did I think about others actually helping me, or rather, the both of us. You made me realise, that I should at least put trust in the closest of friends, you know who'd be the first. However, the higher-ups will be taking note of Dip as the Override, so I have to still try to hurt toons and fellow suits, at least I can control how much damage I cause. As for you, if that Toon person you talked about can be reasoned with, then talk to her, maybe make sure she never shows her face around ever again, or only bring her out if the situation calls for it. I'll likely never forgive her of what she made me do, even if it doesn't actually exist anymore, and now I don't wanna forget it. vrr If only I could do the same for my own bosses, Crystalline included.

A bag of unbranded potato chips on a table, mostly crumbs. Toonee's arm is out, and her finger is holding a potato chip, next to a bowl of dip. Sabes is there, smirking at this predicament.
