Morgan had a hunch that there was at least one other group of attackers, and they were proved right by the sound of several other little sounds of plastic movement from not too far away from them. They fished around for their whistle and gave the command for Kaodie to do it again. They were certain that his instincts would protect them both, but they liked to have at least a little bit of control in the situation. Kaodie turns towards where the bullets had come from, and sticks his tongue out to collect this other group as well. He crushes them in his jaws fairly easily, and then he spits out the pieces on the warehouse floor.
Morgan raises up and scans to find the third company. They seem to have hidden themselves quite well though. Kaodie returns to Morgan's side, standing in front of them and not quite behind the makeshift shield himself.

For a moment, all is quiet. Morgan swallows, and scans the areas above the machines with their eyes in the direction that they had heard the little plastic boots moving before. They couldn't see anything, though. "C-come on Kaodie, we better move, regardless." They reach out and tap him on the back, since he wasn't paying attention. He follows Morgan after giving a noise of complaint, and they try to navigate the practical maze of technology in the vague direction of going to the 'back' from the door they had just entered. They were sure that it was the correct direction, since it made the most sense. What they had not been expecting, however, was how hot it was getting closer to the back. They began to sweat in the dry heat.
They were expecting another barrage from the remaining set of little military men, and because their attention was split on that they didn't expect the next attacker...

They hardly heard the distinct sound of galloping before the attacker struck; attempting to trample the both of them with wooden hooves. Kaodie is able to wrap his tongue around of the attacker's legs, but he is dragged along for the ride due to his small size. Morgan raises their own hands, producing a shield without their own knowledge to protect them from the brunt of the attack as the strange thing brushes over them- knocking them back just the slightest smidge and bruising their shoulder. They turned their head to get a better look at it and realized that their idea of the noise being like wooden hooves was accurate. The attacker was almost like a wooden horse, like those old rockers- but this one most certainly was no longer attached to any sort of bow of wood.
The human stands, instinctively drawing on their magic. They couldn't even laugh as they saw Kaodie gnawing on one of the creature's hind legs.

Kaodie draws his jaws together again as soon as he is able to, even shaking his head from side to side a tad. If it bothered or stopped the creature, it certainly didn't show it. Morgan tries to focus on the creature as it wheels around for another attack, much slower now. Morgan focuses right into the creatures eyes and pulls at the electric sensation that they could feel within it. Suddenly, the horse stops, rearing up and neighing almost like the real deal. The strange horse-like toy monster seems to be distracted enough to stop for a moment, giving Kaodie enough time to draw his jaws together yet again, this time splintering wood.
The horse becomes very still all of a sudden, as if it had never been moving at all. Kaodie drops the wood out of his mouth, spitting. Morgan turns at the sound of tiny feet, and this time they see the little army men clambering over the nearest machine.
"Come on Kaodie, we're almost there!"

Morgan rounds a few corners at a dead sprint, holding one hand on their shoulder. It felt distinctly dislocated, but they didn't really have time to heal it. They had to make their way to the back to shut off the ridiculous factory for good. Each time they passed one of the toys on the conveyor belts, the toys would try to crawl off of the belts to get to them (thankfully, they were half made so Morgan was fast enough to get away). Kaodie hung just a bit back, taking a barrage of shots and then another close after, keeping him from being able to attack them with his tongue accurately.
While Kaodie kept the third brigade at bay, Morgan was able to get to the back with only a small additional wound on their ankle where a strap from one of the machines had tried to trip them. By the time they slammed the red button, they were exhausted. The entire shop rolled to a stop, and the little army men suddenly went still...
Morgan's determined expression softened for a moment as Kaodie rounded the corner to return to them. "...I'm going to get some answers about this."
