Double Trouble Chapter 12: Toon Logic
Felix and Corr had been crawling through the vents for quite some time and had grown tired so they ended up falling asleep for a few minutes...hours? Who knows there aren't many clocks in Hyde’s Studio that's for sure, as the Toon and his human friend slept in the vents someone's voice woke them, “HE WHAT!?” a voice shouted. Edwards shout startled the sleeping Toon and human causing them both to hit their heads on the vent ceiling. “Ouch.” the two said in unison. “Ugh...Corr how long have we been out for?” Felix asked. Corr rubbed his head and looked at Felix, “Uuuuh...hard to say, you got a watch or somethin?” he replied. Felix checked his wrists and pockets, “Nope.” he answered. “HOW DID THAT BOY ESCAPE DREW!? HE WAS TIED UP! THERE IS NO WAY IN HELL HE ESCAPED FROM THOSE ROPES!” the voice shouted. Felix and Corr could hear this voice and decided to investigate and listen in on the conversation, The two followed the voices of the two who were having an argument. “LISTEN HERE EDWARD, SOMEONE ELSE HELPED HIM ESCAPE AND I AM SURE YOU KNOW WHO IT WAS!” Drew shouted angrily. Felix and Corr finally found a vent opening and looked through it to see Edward and Drew, “I think they're talking about you Felix.” Corr said wincing. Felix nodded, “Let's hope they don't know we're here.” he whispered. Edward sighed, “I am well aware of the fact that the little imp is running and crawling around the studio but it's hard to find him!” he said as he pinched the bridge of his nose. Felix looked up at Corr, the little Toon didn't look happy he seemed scared. “Oh? Are you sure it's THAT hard to find Corr AND Felix?” Drew replied with a sinister smile. Corr and Felix grew nervous and confused, “What are you saying Drew?” Edward asked. Drew looked up at the vent opening and saw pair of true blue eyes staring at him and Edward, a shiver was sent up Felix’s spine. Edward soon looked up and saw what Drew was looking at, “Hello Felix...Corr I know you're in there.~” he said. Corr immediately rushed off while Felix was frozen in place out of fear, “Wh-Why can't I move!?” Felix thought to himself. Drew jumped up and pulled off the vent opening causing Felix to snap back to reality, he almost fell down through the opening but luckily he didn't. Felix turned around and began to hurry away but Drew ran to the next vent opening and tore it off and sadly Felix fell and Drew caught him. “N-NO! LET GO OF ME! LET ME GO!” Felix cried. Edward slowly approached Felix enjoying how terrified the boy was, Felix kept thrashing and screaming.
“Well now finding YOU wasn't that hard, good work Drew. Now then where is Corr?” Edward asked. His face a few inches away from Felix’s, the boy didn't reply he kept thrashing around as Drew held him still. Edward grew annoyed with Felix’s defiance to listen to him so, “Drew...crush this boy till he understands that he has no power here.” Edward said as he scowled at Felix. Drew began slowly tightening his hold on Felix squeezing the life out of him, Felix began screaming and crying he could barely move anymore and all he could do was nothing but scream and cry. “S-STOP! STOP IT PLEASE! AAAAAAH!” He cried out in anguish. Edward smiled at the sight the sick bastard wanted Felix to keep screaming and begging for mercy. “Give up on escaping Felix, stop trying to run. If you give in and stop running and obey...then I'll tell Drew to stop crushing you.” Edward replied with a sinister smile. GIVE UP!? OBEY!? Felix didn't want to do either of those but if he didn't then he'd have some serious damage done and if he did he'd be stuck here forever a prisoner! He didn't want to give up! He has family and friends to get back to! Felix’s thoughts were interrupted when Edward lifted his head up to see him. “Come now Felix last thing we want is to hurt you. After all you have the knowledge we need.” Edward said. Felix was about to tell Edward he'd agree but out of the blue, “HEADS UP #@$%#!” a mallet slammed against Edward’s back sending him flying across the hall, “C-Corr! You came back!” Felix cried. He was glad Corr had come to the rescue just as he'd almost given up hope. Corr smiled confidently, “Course I did! Your my friend Felix!” the little toon swung his mallet once again hitting Drew in the side slamming him into the wall splatting ink over it. Felix was free from Drew’s grasp and collapsed onto the floor taking in large gulps of air. “FELIX! YOU OKAY!?” Corr asked worriedly. “Y-Yeah, just in a lot of pain from Drew crushing my ribcage but I'll be fine.” Felix replied.
Corr helped Felix get back on his feet and as the two ran off into god knows what part of the studio Joey and Johann came running into the area to find Edward getting back up while Drew was dazed. “DON'T LET THAT BOY AND TOON ESCAPE YOU DIMWITS! AFTER THEM!” Edward shouted in anger. Joey helped Edward to his feet while Johann ran down the hall to catch Felix and Corr. “Uh Corr? I THINK SOMEONE'S HOT ON OUR HEELS!!!” Felix shouted in fear. Corr looked back and saw Johann chasing him and Felix, he turned his head forwards only to see one thing, “A DEAD END!? ARE YOU KIDDING ME!?” Felix shouted. Corr smiled confidently once again, “HOLD ON TIGHT FELIX! CAUSE THINGS ARE ABOUT TO GET WILD!” he said. The little toon grabbed Felix by the hand and ran straight at the wall, “CORR WHAT ARE YOU IMPLYING!?” Felix said worriedly. Instead of slamming face first into the wall Corr and Felix ran up it and onto the ceiling! “WHAT THE F-” Johann was too busy watching the two run in the other direction that he collided into the wall and dazed himself.
“CORR WHAT THE HELL!? HOW-” “Toon logic! Remember Felix!? You told me you're an animator, you and Henry work together! You should remember these things!” Corr interrupted. Felix chuckled, “Yeah, I should've known!” the two kept running on the ceiling like there was no tomorrow, as they made their way down the hall Edward, Drew and Joey saw them pass by on the ceiling at a fast speed...more toon logic I'd guess. “I suppose that means Johann failed to catch them?” Edward said gritting his teeth. Johann cane walking down the halls in a dizzy manner unable to stay balanced, “I uh...they ran up a wall and onto the ceiling.” Johann stuttered. Joey palm faced himself while Drew stared at Johann unamused and Edward let out an annoyed sigh, “You dimwit! How did you forget. That Corr. Is. A. Goddamn toon?” Edward asked angrily.
Meanwhile Felix and Corr had finally made it into the clear and were no longer on the ceiling but sitting down and laughing, “Corr that was amazing! Oh my god wait wait wait, what if we set up some good old cartoon gags!? Like dropping stuff on their heads!” Felix started. “Throwin pies at their faces!? Loose floorboards that smack em real good in the face!? NOW WE'RE TALKIN FELIX! YOU N ME, US AGAINST THE MOST RUTHLESS #@$!@#%$ IN THIS DARK INKY HELLHOLE!” Corr finished. The two of them began scheming away and setting up cartoon gags left and right each one being set off by one of the Joeys. Drew chased Felix down a hall only to have his head crushed by an anvil, sure he was in his ink demon form still but that hurt a lot! Next Corr was running from Joey, guy was close to catching him if it weren't for Felix slamming a pie into his face. Corr had pulled that outta his hammerspace and gave it to Felix and instructed him time hide around a corner. Then Johann had seen Felix standing at the end of a hall waving while smiling smugly, Johann ran towards the young man only to slip and slide across the floor and fall down a flight of stairs. And finally it was time for Edwards turn, he set off a “trap” that Felix had planned and Corr had set up. He had glue spilled onto him and pillowcases of feathers poured onto him. The man was covered in feathers head to toe, he and the others ended up meeting in a hallway Johann looked like shit, Joey was covered in pie, Drew was suffering from a serious migraine and Edward looked like he was attacked by birds. “The hell happened to you three!?” Edward asked surprised. The others exchanged glances and only replied with three words, “Felix and Corr.” They said in unison. Edward pinched the bridge of his nose, “Should've known.” he groaned.
Meanwhile in an empty room far from the Joeys, there was a little toon and his human friend sleeping peacefully smiles on their faces and papers of more cartoon gags planned scattered across the floor. Felix was holding Corr close to his chest cuddling the sleeping toon, this was nice...it was nice to have a friend to be with and keep you company in a dark place such as the one they were trapped in.
