*We cut back to the basement as the remainig holiday toons are still disoriented. * Soulvester: Are my leiges okay? Gourdy: Yeah... I'm fine. Bassie: What just happened?.... Soulvester: I have no idea why she committed this horrible sin, but we must find out. Gourdy: Wait, Christmas lady did this? Soulvester: I regret to inform you, yes she did. Bassie: Why would she do something like this? She seemed perfectly fine before! Soulvester: We may never know... Gourdy: We gotta get out of here! We need to find the other toons! Bassie: You're right Gourdy... We must get out of here. It's freezing in here! * They travel through the storage room and soon find what was left of eggson. * Gourdy: Miss Bloomington, was is Mr Eggson doing? * Bassie is visibly holding back tears * Bassie: He's sleeping.... Don't try to wake him up. * Gourdy then realized * Gourdy: Oh... * They continue on, and Bassie eventually finds a flashlight. It was very dark in there so they took it with them since they couldn't use soulvester's glow forever. * Gourdy: What was that...? Bassie: Gourdy, there is nothing to be scared of right now. * They hear a loud crunch that sounds like ice breaking* Gourdy: That! * Bassie slowly turns her flashlight over to the creature. * * She then drops the flashlight in shock * Bassie: Is that... Soulvester: I believe it is... * They had found ginger who had been in the basement for awhile and was the only Xmas toon down there at the time. * Soulvester: Well, at least she is not hostile to us. * Ginger stares at Bassie right in the eyes * Bassie: I... I can tell she's still in there... * They unfortunetly left ginger behind, but little did they know ginger followed... * * Bassie then shines her flashlight on what she thought was a box, but then her heart skipped a beat... * * The room falls into silence as they look in horror at the beast in front of them * Soulvester: Dear Walton.... * Gourdy is too scared to speak Bassie: Cocoa...? * Eclipse and Cocoa had turned into an amalgamation during the cold snap. * * Eclipse was forced to rely on cocoa for sight. * Soulvester: That wreched beast is guarding the door! Bassie: Well, one side looks asleep, so maybe we can- * The cocoa side lunged at Bassie. It ended up severely damaging her eye * Bassie: AHHHHHHH * Tears stream down Gourdy's face * Soulvester: UNHAND HER YOU FEIND!!!! * Soulvester swings his sword at the amalgamation and ends up cutting off the cocoa side's jaw. * * The creature howls in pain and then runs up to escape the storage room... * * The room sits in silence for a couple seconds as they hear the footsteps of the amalgamation slowly get more distant * Bassie: Y-You... Saved me. Why...? Soulvester: It is my duty to protect anyone from any harm. Bassie: Thank you... * Bassie goes to comfort Gourdy who is still crying in the back * Gourdy: * Sniff * Will you be okay?... Bassie: I'll be fine. * Soulvester puts an eye patch around her dammaged eye * Soulvester: That's all taken care of, lets get out of here. * The three walk up the stairs with Gourdy clenching Bassie's hand tightly. * * When they finally get to the top, they go to the lobby * * They find the lobby is completely iced over, icicles and mounds of ice everywhere, and the tree was destroyed by how much ice there was on it, ALMOST no toon in sight. Bassie: How did this happen...? Gourdy: Look! It's Mr Dandy! Let's ask him! * They walk up to dandy who looks quite off. His outfit was changed from a minty buissness suit, to a light blue one. His eyes looked soulless with a blue coloring * Soulvester: Hello sir Dancifier! Do you know what caused this mess? Dandy: Sorry, Bobette would not like me to give any information to outsiders. * His voice sounded robotic, like every word he was saying was being chosen for him. Bassie caught on quickly. * Bassie: He's being mind controlled. Soulvester: Oh. Dandy: You better get out of here before I notify her of your location! * They all run to the elevator not wanting the stick around for what happens * * When they get to the elevator, they realized that someone was following them. * Soulvester: Ginger? What are you doing here? If you hurt them you must face my blade! * Ginger shakes her head to show that she's not there to hurt anyone. * Bassie: Soulvester, she's passive. I think she knows something, we gotta keep her around for more info. * They let Ginger into the elevator and press the floor 20 button hoping to find awnsers as why SHE did... * To be continued...
