Hey everyone! I have returned from my holiday hiatus to bring you guys the 3rd part of this series! I've also done a lot of thinking while I was on break. A game? Idk, I have little experience with coding, and one of my friends told me that I would have to build an entire game engine from the ground up. I also have another issue with copyright, because I actually want to make it public with huge amounts of content, so my best explanation is that it's a parallel universe with things being very different from what it is in here. Eh, I assume you guys don't want this to A/N to be longer than it is now, so I'll stop talking about it, except that it's going to be an RPG. Let's get right in to the 1st chapter of this story!

The pizzeria had a strange, different atmosphere to it. It seems that the mysterious man had changed the entire place, and it didn't even seem to be a pizzeria at all anymore. The halls were narrower, grimier, and darker than before. Inside what used to be the Employee's Lounge was a single animatronic, unknown about these changes...

[Decayed Employee's Lounge]

The animatronic quickly woke up, unaware about what had happened to the place. He looked down, at himself, seemingly to have lost his memory. He tried to look around the dark room, but his vision was blurred. The animatronic took a step closer, and tripped onto the ground. He was surrounded by sandbags futilely trying to prevent him from getting out.

"Damn... where am I? Who am I?" The animatronic spoke in a cracked voice. He looked at a calendar, the year reading 2020. He looked down at his arm, strangely knowing where to check to see how long he has been asleep. He pressed on a half broken button, and a small box weakly opened from how long its been closed. He wiped away some dust and read the date.

"Dec. 14th, 2015? It's been 5 years..." The animatronic whispered to himself. He heard the wind whiz by him, and he looked up to see the door creaking open.

"Curious..." The animatronic said as he walked towards the door, exiting the room.

[Broken Show Stage]

The animatronic followed the footsteps into an area that seemed to be familiar to him. He suddenly had a flashback about another animatronic, a bear.

"F-Freddy?" The animatronic said as he began to recollect his memories.

Bonnie. Chica. Foxy. Flame. Exo. Gust. Swift. All these names were coming back into his mind. But he still can't remember his own name. The animatronic remembered his role in the place, but not even his own name?

The animatronic looked at a strange one sided glass, and sees an attraction that had the same mood as the decaying pizzeria. His memories began to flood yet again.

"These peop- no. These animatronics..." He said.

Toy Bonnie. Chia. Fronick. Mangle. Mike. And suddenly, his own name hit him.

"J-Jeremy! I'm Jeremy! B-but what happened here?" Jeremy said as his eyes widened. All of Jeremy's memories have fully returned to him. He looked around, in his torn up bunny animatronic body. He remembered why he was in it. It was Mech; Mech had shot him 7 years ago when they were still enemies, when Vincent was still around...

Jeremy heard the wind rush again. He looked towards the stage, to see the curtains blow slightly by the wind. Jeremy looked around the tables for any weapons. He had to settle with a rusted kitchen knife. Jeremy slowly walked towards the stage, ready to strike down anyone that stands. Jeremy quickly and silently went around the curtains, to see a strange animatronic standing, looking down at a table with a part on it.

Jeremy's vision was still blurred. He could make out some features, while a few were still indeterminable. The animatronic had burn marks all over his body, and a stash was barely hanging out to his shoulders. Jeremy thought of a name and stared at him.

"Exo? Is that you?" Jeremy asked. The animatronic's body stiffened for a moment, then began to relax. He started cackling, and spoke in a rude and crackly matter.

"Exo? Who the hell is that?" The animatronic said as he turned to face Jeremy. The animatronic's eyes were black with grey pupils. He had a sly grin, as he took a step forward.

"Oh, you mean him? No no, I'm not THAT Exo." The animatronic said. Jeremy stood there, dumbfounded.

"You're confused? Ha, I thought you scum surface animatronics would know this." The animatronic said as he laughed a bit more.

" 'Surface Animatronics'? What the f*ck are you talking about?" Jeremy said in an annoyed tone.

"Here, let me explain to your retarded mind. There's 2 animatronics, the 'Surface Animatronics' and the 'Phantom Animatronics'. The Exo you're talking about is what we call Surface Exo. You can call me Phantom Exo." The animatronic explained.

"Damn man, why the hell are you so rude?" Jeremy asked.

"You f*cker don't get it yet? We don't give a shit about anyone but ourselves. Unlike you surface animatronics." Phantom Exo. Jeremy clenched his fists in fury.

"Do you want to get beat?" Jeremy said darkly.

"Ha, go ahead. Let's see if you can even land a damned hit on me." Phantom Exo taunted. Jeremy raised his knife at Phantom Exo, but much to his surprise, the knife went right through him, making him trip and fall back to the ground.

"Idiot. We can't be hurt physically. Now do you actually want my damn help or not?" Phantom Exo said.

"Your help? Why would I need your help?" Jeremy said angrily.

"Oh well, I guess you don't want to see your friends ever again..." Phantom Exo said slyly.

"Wait, what are you talking about?" Jeremy asked.

"Your so called 'friends' are all stuck in the phantom world, beside you of course. That man is one of the few who can traverse between each world. He, painfully might I add, ripped apart your friends between the worlds to let us, the phantoms, to traverse to your pathetic world. This caused your friends to be trapped within the phantom world." Phantom Exo explained.

"T-trapped?" Jeremy said in a worried tone.

"Yeah, trapped. He then scattered the 3 part sets into different rooms of this rotten pizzeria. If you can find each of the 3 parts, then you can essentially bring them back. The catch is that since you've been asleep for so long that you only got 5 days left to save them all." Phantom Exo finished.

"So, you're saying that I have to get 30 plus animatronics back with only 5 days!? How!?" Jeremy shouted annoyingly.

"Calm down, the more that you've saved, the more you can save later with the additional help." Phantom Exo told Jeremy. Suddenly, another phantom animatronic came from behind the curtains.

"Eh? What are you doing here? It's almost 12." Phantom Exo said sternly.

"S-sorry you... uh... b**ch." The animatronics said. The tone convinced Phantom Exo, but not Jeremy.

"Anyways, I guess I can help with the 1st piece." Phantom Exo said. He stepped to the side. Jeremy looked and saw Freddy's head sitting on the table.

"The 3 parts you need are the head, the chest & arms, and finally the legs. Good luck, you're going to need it." Phantom Exo said as he vanished from sight. Jeremy stood there, taking in the new information.

"Jeremy! It's me!" The animatronic shouted, taking out a katana from his scabbard.

"Flare! But how?" Jeremy asked.

"Remember when That phantom said that few people can-" Flare said before he was interrupted.

"You were eavesdropping?" Jeremy said.

"That's not the point. The point is, that I can do that! I've been informing the others about whether or not if you've been asleep." Flare said.

"What!? Why haven't you waken me up!?" Jeremy asked a bit angrily.

"Well... I was... dismantled too..." Flare said as he shivered.

"W-what was it like?" Jeremy asked.

"P-please... don't remind me about it... anyways, I am only in a physical form over there, while I'm a phantom here." Flare explained.

"So what do I do?" Jeremy said.

"Fix me up first, then I can be of use AND be able to inform the others about what's going on." Flare said.

"Alright... I'll try." Jeremy said.

A clock suddenly began to chime. 1... 2... 3... 4... eventually it hit 12.

"So, what does that mean?" Jeremy asked. Flare sighed and looked down.

"The night guard is here, and that'll make this job much harder than it needs to be..."
