Po is running full-speed toward the Teletubbie house, fear etched into her face. She mutters to herself in panic, frantically rambling about Laa Laa's disappearance and her urgent need to warn Tinky Winky and Dipsy. Her run is interrupted by the sudden rise of a voice trumpet from the ground. It speaks in a slow, cold tone: “Where have the Teletubbies gone?” The question sends a fresh wave of dread through Po. Her eyes widen, and she bolts toward the house even faster, no longer trying to make sense of what’s happening, just trying to survive. Inside, she skids to a stop. The room is cold, dark, and still. In front of her stands Tinky Winky, motionless. Behind him lies Dipsy’s decapitated corpse. Po gasps and stumbles backward. Tinky Winky turns to face her, his expression twisted into a terrifying, exaggerated frown, as if his face itself was warped by madness. Then he lets out a bone-shaking scream, high-pitched and unnatural, that rattles the walls. Without a word, he charges. Po runs into the forest, dodging between trees, heart pounding in her ears. She pushes forward until she’s trapped and cornered against a thick tree trunk. Tinky approaches. His face contorted, his pace relentless. Just before he reaches her, the screen cuts to black. The story picks up days later. Three unfamiliar Tubby characters: Doopy, Goopy, and Nathan, are trudging through the landscape toward the Teletubbie house. The sky is gray, the world strangely quiet. Goopy lumbers behind the group in a small mech suit, while Doopy leads the way and Nathan observes his surroundings cautiously. As they near the house, Nathan spots a voice trumpet half-buried in the dirt, the same kind that spoke to Po. It feels... wrong. They pause and talk briefly about it, sharing a sense of unease, but ultimately move on. Once inside, they begin converting the house into a makeshift base. While Goopy sets up supplies and Doopy checks structural integrity, Nathan glances out the window—and freezes. He spots a Tubby-shaped figure standing in the distance. But as soon as he rushes outside, it's gone. Doopy calls out, telling him to come back in. Nathan obeys, the unease in his gut growing heavier. That night, the three settle in and drift to sleep. The screen fades to black once again. Suddenly, Nathan is jolted awake by Goopy's panicked yelling. “Wake up! The house is flooding!” The lower levels are rapidly filling with murky water. Doopy is nowhere to be found. Worse: he’s taken the mech and vanished without a word. Nathan and Goopy scramble up the iconic Tubby Slide to escape. At the top, they emerge into the dim morning light and come face to face with Tinky Winky, now mutated. He’s no longer just Tinky, he’s Tinky Tank, a hulking, abnormally buff version of himself. His body is stretched unnaturally, skin pulsing with rage and custard-induced mutation. Tinky Tank roars and charges. Goopy tries to hold him off, but he’s quickly overwhelmed, mauled brutally as Nathan watches in horror. With no other choice, Nathan runs. He flees across the infected fields until he reaches the edge of a vast misty beach. There, beneath a lone tree half-buried in snow, lies Laa Laa’s corpse,lifeless, her eyes scratched out, her face locked in a silent scream. Nathan pauses, frozen in despair, but not for long. He turns and wades into the dirty ocean, swimming through the murky waters toward the distant mountains. Nathan emerges from the water into a blizzard-stricken alpine region. The snowy mountains are eerily quiet. As he stumbles forward through the frost, a figure emerges ahead: a white Tubby, wearing Dipsy’s missing hat. Nathan hesitates. The sight is strange, even threatening but something about the Tubby seems... calm. Trustworthy, even. With little choice, Nathan follows the white Tubby into the storm, toward what may be the last safe place left.
