"It seems they're coming back online, did you all have to attack him the way you did?" Coming from the voice of and what seem to be in elderly men.
"Aaaawwww~ I was almost done playing surgent." Coming from the voice that seems to be a young girl.
"Quit your whining as you could always-"
Lou slowly opened their eyes that were changed from being dark brown to white with many ovals onto ovals. They looked around to see puppets and will along with stuffed animals surrounding them. Lou could feel that a lot of things besides their eyes were changed. His arms were doll-like, including his legs, within his body there were so many things mashed in or changed…. Even Lou's teeth were changed to cartoony teeth with a gap.
Lou tried to get out but they were strapped to an operating table.
"I must ask you to calm down, you do not want to get up right now, these toys may look homeless but they are the ones that took you down so easily in the first place. It seems whoever built you was not fully looking into your full potential as you are an original model of a circus clown cyborg….. Truly fascinating." Said the white haired old man with a wooden arm and leg who at the time was working on a rocking horse. "You're probably also wondering who I am and why are these toys living? That is a simple answer. My name is Tom Miller, but my grandchildren along with my passed wife call me "The Toymaker". These toys are like my own children as they care for me and hope that no one tries to harm me or this sanctuary that is the Toy store, but the question that I have today is why are you here and what business do you have here?" When The Toymaker said that, the toys revealed their own little weapons from guns to bladed fingers, big hands to drills on their heads.
"Ieez jeazust waeeznted aiz pleazace theezat Ieez ceazould heezide…. Ieez wizish teazo keaznow wheezat heazappened teazo meeze…." ("I just wanted a place that I could hide…. I wish to know what happened to me....") Lou said with honesty and actual tears that began to roll down Lou's face.
The toymaker walked over and wiped away the sad Bionic clown's tears.
"Dizon't weezorry, Ieaz wiizll heezelp yeazou." ("Don't worry, I will help you.") The toymaker shocked the toys along with Lou….
Ever since Lou woke up from that pod, they had not heard anyone talk or spoken in their language of ciazarn in such a long time…. Meaning that The Toymaker was of circus dissent or carny dissent. Once the straps were off, Lou leaped onto The Toymaker and hugged him with tears explaining everything that they had gone through until now along with the forgotten memories that Lou still doesn't have. The Toymaker didn't know what to do with all this information but could definitely tell that Lou was scared and pained by this world, all the conditions that come with it. Lou could only hold The Toymaker with all this pain within his being which made the toys feel sympathy for this bionic clown and felt bad for what they've done to him…..
"Don't worry little one, everything will be fine as you are safe here and as of now you are our guest." Said The Toymaker was given the urge to hold Lou but didn't….. The Toymaker had seen so much pain and had been tricked for so long that he didn't know if he could trust Lou anyone just yet besides his toys... But The Toymaker knew that he had to make a decision….
After some tears, Tim took Lou to a part of the Underground Toy Factory where he takes naps which will now be where Lou will stay. "You will stay here for the time being until you find your own path, until then I will teach you how to take care of yourself in the outside world so you'll be able to handle anything that any city or place could throw at you. I know that it will be tough at first with your table manners, ballet, piano lessons, then how to handle small and big enemies with the art of being a clown, then finally learning how to use your abilities as I found some anomalies within you as in that orb that you have. I Will not ask about it unless you feel the need to tell me but I can tell by the look on your face that you aren't one for violence but to survive in this world you have to fight and defend yourself as circus folk like you and I have been considered banned by the public. As soon as my history was found out I was unable to do robotics or make children happy... Trust me, this world is not like the one you left behind, you may have memories or maybe they are lost but the fact is you have to continue moving forward, I will teach you everything that I can.... But I need you to promise to make sure that you do not cause trouble for me or my family…"
Lou nodded their head "Ieaz Prizomise…" ("I promise…") After that day, the training began as it was tough at first but with time….
{Few Months Of Fun Later}
A record was placed upon the record player, a crank was turned a couple times by the doll hand of Lou appearing to place the needle down. The sound of a classic song known as "Dance of the clowns" filled the underground toy factory with bliss. Lou began to swish and twirl with a bit of humming to the utmost splendid music while setting the table. Lou had learned many things and even got to experience so much fun thanks to The Toymaker within these passing months as they even learned the art of speaking English, table manners, proper dancing, building toys, learning how to play the piano / trumpet / saxophone, hiding using the art of stealth, playing music, fighting, the performing arts, study scientific magic, cooking delicious meals & desserts. Lou was even able to have as much fabric and tools as possible so whenever they were sent out to get something for The Toymaker would be prepared. The Toymaker even noticed how Lou's nose healed on its own but it wasn't a red clown one it was a normal human red nose, there was so much that The Toymaker found out about Lou that was extraordinary.
Unfortunately, The Toymaker couldn't find the courage to tell Lou everything about his abilities to the orb but he could tell deep down in his heart that Lou was truly without a shadow of a doubt the ultimate entertainer which nothing or nobody will ever be able to take away from Lou Lottalove.
Anyway, Lou could feel the notes from the Record Player floating by them and moving along with them instead of Lou moving with the music. Once the table was set, Lou went to change their attire from being in normal attire that was a Victorian Era suit to that which was a mitch match of many patterns that they felt would go well with their design. It didn't matter if it was weird Lou would create different designs like for instance one that had polkadots, zebra pelt, cheetah pelt, purple along with gray and black fabric that really worked with the look that they were going for since they even got themselves a white blouse that Lou got from a broken down nutcracker. They added a black and green jester hat to finish off the ensemble, truly making themselves at home in this underground factory. They had a long set of outfits for every occasion.
"This is great, Tim is definitely gonna love this." Lucky for Lou, there was an old fashioned oven down here so they can easily cook freshly made pastries. There was also a grease trap that Lou found while going through the garbage dump for new parts a week ago. "Tim did say that he fancied sweets, especially the carnival kinds." Lou said as they went to the oven, they grabbed a pair of mittens so Lou was able to take the pastries out of the oven on a tray just to put each one onto a plate with the spinning carnival tray in the center of the table. Lou smelled the sweet air and soon heard tiny footsteps meaning that the toys were hiding which made them smile.
BANG!
With ease, Lou dodged and caught a few bullets from some of the cowboy toys with the happiness that he had knowing that he was able to avoid them while also making sure that they did not hit the decorations. Many of them had their own little personalities and Lou treated them like The Toymaker would treat them, like family.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There was Mr. Grime who was the second in command of the toys, first in command would always be The Toymaker. Mr. Grime had blades for fingers and even in his eyes where he's able to shoot small daggers that explode on impact.
Next came Little Jane, The china doll that any little girl would want as she can walk, talk and she is willing to learn about new things slowly but even though she is innocent she is willing to take extreme actions to protect her friends and family aka the toys. She is good at playing hide and seek but be careful, when she hides she makes sure that you never see her coming. She has a jump rope as her choice of weapon that could be used as a whip or just a grappling hook.
Big Man is the oldest toy that the toy maker has but did not create as his father created this one as it wears a black turtleneck. It has big arms, small legs and a small head along with a big torso, hands wrapped in white bandages like a boxer. He is the strongest out of them all and able to take as much damage as possible and this gives back the same.
8 Armed Marvin has the appearance of an alien with an outlaw outfit, plus having 8 arms and 8 ray guns. He is able to work a small flying saucer and is able to stick to walls.
Robbie Cassidy is a young looking doll that wears a mafia outfit and has the attitude of a mobster along with the personality of a high school greaser. He is the second strongest Big Man as he has a tommy gun along with a mallet, his choice of weapons along with a crowbar. He treats Little Jane like his own daughter.
Corp is a puppet chamaeleon frog with clown make up along with wearing a comedian like it as he would be able to jump long distances and climb up walls while blending into his surroundings.
Porky the gluttonous puppet that has a Swedish accent and loves to eat. If an enemy comes his way he will even try to eat his enemies hole no matter the size.
Los Dorado, A puppet that looks similar to a Spanish outlaw that has a fencing sword and A drill in his head that is hidden underneath a sombrero.
Lady Shiba, not only can she turn her enemies to stone with the bite of her hair but also from the tip of her tail as she has a snake-like lower appendage. She also has wings like a butterfly so she can swoop in and bite her enemies in a swift second like a paper airplane.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Anyway, The place was all set up as there were Christmas lights being used as decoration and the music continued to play.
"This definitely looks good, I do see burn marks on the crust of these deep fried oreos but it will do for this old man's party." Robbie being an asshole sitting down in his seat.
"I am sure the master will definitely appreciate what you are doing, especially the chocolate funnel cake." Said Mr. Grime relaxing for once.
Big Man was eyeing the corn dog while little Jane was guarding the plate of macaroni burgers from Porky who was drooling to get a sample along with the deep-fried Oreos and Sugar Cookies. This was met by Robbie who put Porky in his place.
Los Dorado was dancing with Lady Shiba while Corp and 8 Armed Marvin watched the upstairs area of the broken down toy store for The Toymaker.
"Seems everything is all set up now all that we need is-" Lou walked to the closet and had a long box that was gift wrapped. "The present"
All the toys were all by the present that Lou had as they all felt a little sad because they didn't have a present for their master. Lou luckily had a plan already for if they didn't have anything. "Don't worry I made a card so that all of us could sign it." He gave the card to each of the puppets and dolls as everything seemed like it was going good but….
CRASH!!!!!
Suddenly, Lou and the toys heard the sound of a car crashing into the toy store then hearing it backing up, destroying the front structure of the toy store. Lou decided to carefully climb up the walls and pop through the vents to get to the upper floor, they ended up finding out what was going on which turned out to be the case that they were being ransacked and destroyed things along with the cameras connected to the within the toy store.
"Look at all this shit, this guy must have been trying to test the patience of the G.O.Ds (Guards Of Despair)." Said the guy that was wearing a bunny mask.
"Definitely, as you can even smell the fun in this place….. Speaking of smells, something smells 'odd' to me…." A Masked woman said while taking out a smell detector with a rifle as she could definitely smell the party downstairs leading to her shooting the lock on the door. "This way!"
("Oh no.") Lou said within their own mind but then they remembered their AI. "Glitch, Glitch turn on the video cameras downstairs." Glitch the AI Dog did just that as it just took one bite and eighth to turn on the TV cameras. Deposits and dolls were quickly alerted as they got into position like they have practiced so many times before and stood still in their chairs.
Once the mask individuals went down there, they were surprised to see dolls and puppets sitting down to a feast of carnival food, almost like a tea party which had a happy birthday flag above the table how long with a large box in the back.
"Search the place boys, we don't want a single stone unturned, if something pops up tonight but if you see something and it looks innocent still kill it as you know the rules… hahaha there are no rules in this game of life!!" Said one of them to the other four.
Lou could smell blood on them through the vents but there was another familiar smell as someone else was coming through the front entrance that was destroyed as Lou went to check it out but they were NOT prepared for the sight that they were forced to see…. The Bunnyman... The Monster that has been chasing Lou for months now, finally tracked their position…..
In other words, they were here for Lou and willing to kill anyone that stands in their way from killing Them.
Things got EVEN WORSE when Lou could hear The Toymaker opening the back door along with two other individuals that weren't familiar to them.
BANG BANG BANG!!!
("NOOOOOOOO!!!!!") Lou truly was angry as the camera showed footage of The Toymaker being shot along with what looks to be his children, along with his glasses hitting the floor then stepped on by The Bunnyman. Lou didn't want to give away their position but seeing the father figure that they truly needed at this time made it hard for them not to reveal themself right now.
"HEY!!" Said Lou shouted as loud as he could, making The bunnyman creature turn around in the bunny suit and look to find where that familiar voice was coming from.
Once that was heard from down in the basement, The basement door was locked on its own thanks to Glitch, then the toys did their thing and began their attack each one of the masked men and women along with aliens. The bunny suited creature was too focused on Lou to hear the noise.
Once The Bunnyman went to the vent by crawling over to it with a gun, Lou took a deep breath and once the creature was in their sight, Lou let out a loud-
"HONK!!!!!!!!"
Lou was trying to say something else but they let that come out instead which sent a shock wave throughout the area. Car alarms went off, glass shattered, the G.O.D's motion sensors went off from the sonicwave that just hit an area nearby. The Bunnyman was sent up through the ceiling of the building, sent through the city and out of the city. Lou had crawled out of the vents while quickly going to check on The Toymaker that had protected his children which turned out to be his grandchildren. "No no no no no no no no no this can't be happening!" Lou tried their best to heal both the boy and the girl, they both were going to be fine, they just had barely fatal wounds which was lucky for them….
…The toy maker on the other hand was barely holding on…
"Hold on, I just need to finish healing them and I will-" Lou said, barely staying focused as anxiety was washing over them just to see a smile on the face of The Toymaker.
"My children are coming, you have to go… If you don't they might think that you did this….." Tim aka The Toymaker said while still smiling.
"Please I will do anything, I'll fix this place up from the ground up I will even try and fix your old toys. There's even a party downstairs waiting for you. We all even made you a gift…." Lou felt the effects of the man they saw as a father figure was dying….
…The other toys came upstairs as they found Lou healing The Toymaker's grandchild while still crying since the Toymaker was on his last legs…
"Find your place in this world, you are a good clown and I know you will bring joy back to this world once again as you may not be human but your heart tells me that you had a soul that was never able to turn evil." The Toymaker spoke as he petted each of his children as even the two toys that were hiding their sadness which were Corp and 8 Armed.
Lou was finally done healing the grandchildren of Tim but they didn't know if they were going to have enough magic to fully heal The Toymaker so they got an idea and went down into the factory, grabbed the present, brought the big box upstairs while moving anything out of the way. Lou undid the present and had a book that he found one month ago which was able to transfer one soul into a body, they put the android body that looks similar to The Toymaker next to Tim.
Lou tries their best to chant the words correctly as a brush of rain starts to roll in along with some thunder and lightning to top it all off.
The toys pulled the grandchildren of The Toymaker aside while Lou continued the chant trying to make sure the body swap was to be completed. tried his best continuing to chant the words as they put all of their heart and soul into it even to the point where he became frustrated but knew that they had to stay focused.
Lou had another idea as they used their electricity along with their coil arm move and shot up into the sky, leading to a surge of electricity coming down shocking Lou to near death by electrocution. They signal the toys to stay back and quickly pressed both their hands down onto the book, this sent Lou flying a few feet as an electric charge went into the two bodies!!!!!
Lou had steam radiating off of their body, they were twitching from the electrical charge and even rubbed the back of their head just to look over seeing that the book that they were using was burning to a crisp. Lou tried touching it but it only led to it turning two ashes with the flames disappearing into Lou's hands. Before they could say anything or see if Tim was in a different body, Lou nearly got shot in the head with a blast.
"GET AWAY FROM HIM MONSTER!!!"
Lou fell down the stairs to the toy factory, they tried to get back into focus, Lou nearly got shot again but they moved quicker than the average human or robot. Lou went to hide as they knew this factory better than anyone.
("This must be the toy makers children.") They within their own mind got to a good hiding spot. While the two were still shooting trying to find Lou, the toys quickly grabbed whatever Lou needed, put them into their spider backpack and the toys quickly tried to find Lou which they did. They gave Lou the new outfit that they made for him. Lou hugged his brothers and sisters which led to them getting spotted.
"Okay boys and girls feeling times over we need to get him out of here pronto, that was the last words of our Sheriff." This coming from 8 Armed Marvin was surprising since he really didn't like Lou that much which made all of them know what they needed to do which was not to kill The Toymaker's children but protect their own.
The battle was under way and while dodging their attacks using acrobatics and clown acts like balloons hovering or disappearing by hiding in small places, Lou threw non lethal cream pies at them while getting dressed at the same time.
"I didn't kill Jim, she was like a father to me. He has been taking care of me for 3 months now. Why would I kill him?" Lou tried explaining to them while they were hiding behind one of the structures in the factory.
"SHUT IT YOU MURDERER!!!" SHOUTED THE WOMAN AS SHE SHOT MULTIPLE BULLETS AT LOU NOT CARING WHAT HE HAD TO SAY ALONG WITH HER BROTHER DOING THE SAME, THE TWO OF THEM TRULY MEANT BUSINESS!!!
Lou sighed, undressed, then came out of hiding while walking over to them. No matter how many shots they blew at them, Lou right now was not going to let any toys get destroyed because they were going against the Toymaker. The toys were supposed to follow an oath which was to protect / take care of The Toymaker, along with his family.
Lou with tears in their eyes looked at both of them that were truly heartbroken but not even close to how much pain Lou was feeling, well they were being shot up they remembered a rhyme that Tim / Toymaker once told them:
"A true clown never lies, just like a pure heart never dies….."
Once they were truly out of ammunition, Lou looked like hell but they still looked at the two with sadness in their eyes. "I will leave and never come back this I promise but please take care of them as your father cared about these toys dearly and it would be a shame if they were to be destroyed."
They both were shocked and surprised but also scared, Liu's cybernetic body was slowly healing while they packed the rest of their stuff. From the weapons, to the clothes, the supplies that were needed… They put all of that into a spider backpack and finally put back on their new clothes. Lou took a cyborg bulldog that they had been hiding for a while from The Toymaker since he wasn't quite fond of animals, so Lou took care of it for months and now leaves with the pup without saying a single word to any of the toys. This left the two siblings still holding their guns pointing at Lou. They walked to the back exit of the factory just for them to look at the Toy Shop one last time...
….Just like that…..
.....Lou left out the front door and left out their lives....
But the moment they left a miracle happened when the toymaker lived not as who he once was but as a robot playing with his grandchildren who were happy….
{Meanwhile}
Lou was tearing up while eating cotton candy within a dark alley, the cyborg dog was now moving trying to comfort them with licks and snuggles. "Okay okay I'm okay hehehe." Lou laughed petting the cyborg dog that was now their new best friend. "Since I did save your life I guess I should give you a name since we are going to be going on an adventure together, how about Rook?" The dog now known as Rook licked Lou's cheek repeatedly with a tail that was wagging. Liu's A.I. glitchy didn't like this at all but Liu was just happy to have two individuals that can keep them company.
Things seemed like it was going to get better for Lou until a round object appeared rolling up to them. They quickly ran, which sent Lou and Rook flying over a fence, as Lou looked back for even a moment just to see one tall shadow along with four other shadows behind them.
"BRING THAT CLOWN TO ME DEAD OR ALIVE!!!" Said the man and just like that Lou was on the run taking hold of Rook, it led to a chase around the city.
Lou started to get tired which led to Rook taking over by shooting at the enemies while Glitchy caused distractions While at the same time Lou was using their arms in coil mode like grappling hooks. "Thanks boys." Lou relaxed for a little bit but it was until their chasers had other individuals going after them once they hit Rook with a plasma blast. "NO!!!!" Lou yelled which led to the two of them falling but Lou protected Rook once more but this time by landing on his back on top of a fancy building as things truly looked dire. But it was until Lou accidentally smashed one of Lou's pineapples which blinded their enemies along with themself. leading to all of them falling into different areas of a fancy restaurant with the light still blinding everyone. "Dangit, If anyone has any ideas I'm willing to listen to them because now is a good time."
Lou said as neither Rook or glitchy had any ideas as they lay down there next to a now broken dining table and an ice crane right beside them. Truly it seems that all is lost for Lou and their wacky companions…Until…
Lou suddenly something came from their transmitter.
"Hey….. Can you hear me? If you can hear me and you want to survive this hunt then I suggest you follow my directions." Said a mysterious voice leading to Lou covering their eyes and taking Rook then using their rocket feet to go upward from where they had fallen.
Once the bright lights from the pineapples faded along with everyone's vision, Lou and Rook were gone. These guys tried to track them but the trail / signal ended once Lou got to a certain area. They ended up looking all over the city and the place Lou was at last but there was still no sign of them….. They looked up to see that the barrier that goes around the entire city was fixing a hole that had been created earlier and the cameras were still up which meant that…
….Lou found a different way to escape….
Within the toxic field sewers, Lou & Rook continue to follow the transmission by following this mysterious figure that was most definitely taller than both of them, they didn't know where he or she was taking them but Lou had a feeling that they could trust them. "Thank you for saving me, Rook and Glitchy but if it's not too much to ask, can you please tell me where you are taking us, pretty please with rainbow sprinkles?" Lou asks the person guiding them through this mess hole, they turn around once they get to a clearing just for the mysterious figure to lower their hood just for Lou to be shocked beyond belief at what they was witnessing in front of their very eyes. ("Holy snowcones!")
{Curtain Closed}
Wait, there's more!
//Bonus Act//
The Bunnyman came back to the city beaten and battered from all the things they hit on the way and crashed down onto the toy store's floor which led to it landing into the table where the food should be but was moved. The place was abandoned but The Bunnyman still had the will even with a few of their group members dead….
The angered Bunnyman got up and cracked their neck seeing their new base of operation but the moment they saw a picture frame of Lou and the other toys they took off their mask to reveal that The Bunnyman was conjoined twin females. They looked tired but even with the injuries that the twins suffered they wanted Lou to truly feel their pain. "It seems we have more prey added to our hunt sister."
