Toying with The Toychests

Toying with the Toychests is a part of Custombrawl's lore decided by a roleplay in a discord server, for the sake of making it actually feel real, one-off gags and characters that conflict with canon have been removed, and some parts of character interactions have been changed to fit this.

Meanwhile, at the Treehouse of Justice!
An Uglygram comes up to the Valiance's Treehouse, telling Willow, Tulip, and Wade that their computer's citizens and queen were bombed by an unknown force, turning them from Pretty into Ugly. an Intelligram that has escaped the Intelliboard's hivemind, a friend of the Uglygram named Tobias, had arrived at the treehouse, scaring the crap out of Wade, who's terrified of the little big-headed freaks, which prompts Sarah to enter the treehouse to investigate, and the Intelligram claims the software responsible for the bombing of the Prettyboard is the scientist Chestnut, formerly Parella. Lizzie catches up with Sarah. Suddenly the television in the treehouse had displayed a commercial for Toychest® Brick System Set, before a giant brick fell from the sky. The heroes went to investigate, and the box opened, revealing a few boxes, and a television screen unfolded from the top of the box.

Attack of the 50-Foot Block
The screen turns on, showing footage of an anthro named ABC, with no correlation to the computer virus of the same name, who asks the Valiance if they can allow him to download a Tetris-style house-building game called Toychest onto the computer. Tobias tells the Valiance that Toychest is a virus, before a small turret pops out out of the box, and vaporizes Tobias into nothingness. ABC tries to pass off vaporizing Tobias as sending him to playtest the game, but Wade calls ABC's Bluff, causing ABC to then download the game onto the computer by force. A claw grabs Wade, and a Proudgram, named Harold, came to avenge Tobias using a Spyware Revolver. The turret charges up, meanwhile the charging happens, a Hategram named Dmitri joins Harold. The turret is blasted by Harold's revolver, making ABC burst into tears. The block shook, and brought out legs to stand on. Harold shoots the catcher claw, releasing Wade, meanwhile the block launched up into the endless network void using rockets on its legs, promising to return one day with large armies.

And We're Watching, and We're Waiting
The Valiance and co. mourn over the loss of the Intelligram they just met, fueling their anger towards ABC. After a touching moment with Willow and Tulip, Imagi arrives, this is the first time in the canon that the Valiance met Imagi, and they explain their story when they figure out who Imagi is. Imagi knows Toychest, it's a piece of Spyware he read about sometime ago, and then he teleports away to get help from the Motherboard. Willow and Tulip have another touching moment and get some ice cream, while the others stay behind, waiting for ABC to return. ABC returns with all his armies loaded in block ships, and he compresses Software Sweets (along with Willow and Tulip!) into a box to carry on the ship.

Lizzie and Sarah Light the Way!
Lizzie and Sarah plan to enter ABC Games HQ and save the siblings and the computer via melting off the entrance with a concoction Sarah had made. Wade throws Sarah into the treehouse to get her bag full o' geeky stuff, and meets back up with the group, plus Harold. Wade throws Sarah over at the door, where Lizzie already is, but she lost the bag, so Harold threw the bag to the girls. Sarah throws the bottle, it only melts the latch. One of the ship's legs tries to stomp Wade, but Harold uses a grappling hook to save Wade. Harold grapples over to the door and pries it open with a crowbar, while Wade fights off the Toychest armies. Harold and the girls find Willow and Tulip in prison cells, Willow feeling pale and humming a tune, and Tulip crying very loudly. Tulip explains the Toychests seemingly tortured Willow, and that they plan on hurting everyone else. Sarah diagnoses Willow with a literal computer virus infecting his mental state, and the team then heads out to find a cure for his virus. The team finds the laboratory, but they are blocked off by guards, Lizzie launches a fireball and Harold blasts one with his gun. Harold holds the other guard at gunpoint, leading to the guard to feign ignorance to try and lead the heroes astray. Lizzie uses her blessed magic to manipulate the guard's emotions, making him tell them that the antidote is located in Tulip's Backpack, which they later find in the laboratory. Running back with the cells, they then get blocked by ABC.

A Balderdash Clash
Harold makes fun of ABC's attitude and is kicked. The girls try to use the manipulated Toychest to convince ABC to stop, but ABC is an idiot and thinks he's better than everyone, so nothing happens. Harold attempts to shoot ABC and his blaster, but ABC has covered himself with ACME Bullet-Proof Spray. Sarah finds the spray remover and makes ABC vulnerable, and Harold proceeds to shoot ABC in the eye, killing him. Using a key card from the manipulated Toychest, they open the doors and pour the bottle on Willow, who was way paler and weaker. Lizzie accidentally used an acidic potion instead of the antidote, melting Willow and triggering Tulip. Harold jumps out of the ship, Tulip gets ready to attack Lizzie, but the place shook and prevented her from doing so. Tulip gets ready to attack again, and tons of Quarantines attempts to stop her. Tulip slashes Lizzie, and everything suddenly fades to white.

The Good Ending
The story returns to the moment where Lizzie was gonna pour the bottle, and out of nowhere Imagi, who had been watching the fight, and loaded one of many saves he had made, explains that the bottle had the acid in it, and it would essentially break the group apart if poured. The group realizes how important Willow is to the group, and they escape ABC HQ. Wade found an antidote, but he's been hijacked by the Toychests. Tulip sliced off a crystal on Wade's back and the group saved Willow. Somehow Wade was freed of the Toychest's heartwashing, and all was right, though some say AU Tulip still exists.
