Me: Hello! Welcome back! So, to recap the last chapter-

Mikey: She killed Raph!

Me: It was more than-

Mikey: That is all that matters!

Marionette: A battle ensued between the old and new animatronics that I had to fix.

Me: Yeah, but also-

Foxy: It was this one's fault!

Toy Bonnie: It was not!

Chica: It was Toy Freddy who started the real trouble.

Toy Freddy: I was defending Playtime Foxy!

Me: That's not all that-

Toy Chica: You mean, Mangle? *Snickers*

Playtime Foxy: I actually like that. Oh, narrator! May I be Mangle from now on?

Me: YOU CAN BE WHATEVER YOU WANT! But can I tell my story?!

Everybody: Carry on.

Me: Thank-you.

The Marionette worked tirelessly on Raphael. It hadn't worked with a mutant turtle before. Kids were one thing, but this had a shell to work around, too. Not to mention Fredbear was possibly the oldest suit in the whole pizzeria, excluding Spring Bonnie. Spring Bonnie's body wasn't big enough to hold the turtle, shell and all, otherwise, the Marionette would've used it.

As the Marionette worked, the turtles were in their lair. Mikey, with tears streaming his face, was explaining what had happened in the pizzeria.

"No!"

"Raph's... gone?!"

Splinter couldn't believe it any more than his sons could. Raphael, that headstrong little toddler that hated being carried, that small turtle that knocked over his bath water so he wouldn't have to take a bath, that young teenager who had taken down all of his brothers, that proud little turtle holding his very first sai, excited for his next level of training to start, was now dead.

He struggled to keep his voice straight. "Michelangelo, Leonardo, Donatello, you are not, under any circumstances, to return to this pizza restaurant."

"Hai, Sensei." His sons replied.

"Good." Master Splinter walked out slowly, to be alone in his room for a moment to process what he had heard.

Meanwhile, Mikey planned to do exactly the opposite.

"I'm going back."

Leo snarled. "Then we're going with you."

Donnie frowned. "Why would we do that? You heard Master Splinter-"

"I need to go back," Mikey replied defiantly. "I didn't expect you to understand."

Donnie and Leo shared a look and nodded. "Alright. I'll come."

The turtles cautiously reentered the pizzeria.

"Guys?" Mikey called out quietly.

All the animatronics came out of their spots to stand in a lineup in front of the turtles. They had been awaiting their friend's return.

Toy Freddy stepped forward. He slowly opened his mouth. "T-turtle friend-ends."

Leo drew a sword slowly, positioning himself carefully in front of his brothers. He would rather join Raph than let his brothers be taken from him again.

"I w-want to apolo- oo apologize for-or hurting-urting your broth-oth-er-r."

"And-nd we even fixed him-im!" Foxy added proudly.

"What do you mean, fixed him?" Mikey asked curiously.

Then, the animatronics stepped to the side, and between them walked one that Mikey had never seen move before. Golden Freddy?

The Marionette came forward as well. "My friends, allow me to explain. You see, these animatronics are all alive. They are alive because somebody kept coming in and luring children to the Parts and Service room, where they were violently murdered. I saved each of them by giving them new bodies, the animatronics. This is the exact thing I have done here, with your brother. Unfortunately, he can never leave this pizzeria, or his soul will get too weak to stay."

"R-Raph?!" Donnie gasped. Golden Freddy moved forward. Mikey realized he now had eyes, Raphael's bright green eyes, which hadn't been there before.

"H-hi g-guys." Raphael's voice was now deep and slightly staticky. He spoke with the same stuttering hitch in his voice that the other animatronics had.

"Amazing..." Donnie walked around the large golden bear slowly, marvelling in the ingenuity.

"But... he can't come home?" Mikey frowned sadly. His brother was alive, yes, but he was trapped here.

Forever.
