Moon and Ayla stared at each other silently before they heard a loud thud.
"Freddy!" Ayla heard Gregory cried out and saw that Freddy had fallen on the floor. Moon placed her down and she ran over to him
"What's wrong?" She asked, concerned. Freddy whole body started to twitch as he struggled to talk. He saw that his systems were starting to shut down.
"I missed my hourly re-charge, my systems are failing." He replied. Ayla's eyes widened as did Gregory. "I need to get to parts and service."
"How can we get you there?" Ayla asked. "I don't have any clearance. Is there a way?"
"There's a quick way down that's in the main stage in the Atrium. Normally, after every concert, I go there. It's the only way that I know of. Entering rest mode."
"Okay, hang in there." Ayla said.
"I want to help Freddy, too!" Gregory said.
"Are you sure that you're up for it?" Ayla asked him.
"I'll do my best." Ayla turned to Moon.
"Moony, take Freddy to the stage and wait for us there." She told him. "You and Sun are the only ones who are able to carry Freddy."
"Moon! We can't leave her!" Moon heard Sun's voice answer in his head.
"I don't want to either, but we don't really have a choice here, Sun." Moon replied back to him.
He walked over and helped Freddy up back onto his feet, supporting him. Moon looked back Ayla. "Just get in and get out." Ayla nodded and Moon dragged Freddy as he walked away, heading towards the Atrium.
Ayla and Gregory stepped out of Freddy's room, and headed over to the stage lift control room. They went up the stairs and saw two doors in front of them with different designs. One had a electric guitar while the other one had a microphone, similar to the Glamrocks color.
They went through one of the doors and it slid open as they walked into the stage control room. They saw two similar doors across the room with different designs as well. There were monitors scattered all around the room as well, showing different locations of the Pizzaplex. The two stopped in front of the large screen, looking around for anything the looked like the controls for the lift. Gregory noticed a security lock like the one inside the daycare. He walked over and opened it up, revealing another security badge inside and took it out. However, he noticed that there was something else underneath the badge that looked like a disk and picked it up as well.
"There's something else in here. It looks...old." Gregory said, showing the disk to Ayla. She took the disk from him, looking it over.
"It looks like a performance disk to the stage." she explained.
Suddenly, a loud alarm went off and all of the doors closed shut, sealing Ayla and Gregory inside of the room. They were trapped. Ayla went over one of the doors, trying to pry it open but it wouldn't budge.
"Crap." she muttered under her breath. Then, the two were startled as they saw Freddy on the large screen of the monitors. Moon was also standing next to him.
"Ayla, Gregory, can you hear me? What did you two do? Something happened. I think that you fixed my signal. Thank you."
"Freddy! You scared us!" Ayla shouted.
"Sorry."
"What did you do? The alarms are going off all over the pizzaplex!" Moon shouted.
"Gregory found a disk for the stage controls. But, I guess it was rigged for the alarms to go off if anyone who was not an employee."
"How are you still standing up?" Gregory asked Freddy.
"Consider it a second wind." Freddy answered.
Suddenly, Ayla and Gregory heard footsteps as they got closer, followed by banging on the doors.
"What's that noise?!" Gregory exclaimed. Ayla looked over at the screens for the doors and saw Roxy and Monty outside of them.
"It's Roxy and Monty. They're both trying to get inside the office!" Ayla said.
"Get out of there!" Moon shouted.
"There is no way out. All of the doors are locked!" Ayla shouted.
"Do not let them in. There security doors are linked with electrical deterrents. If you see them at the doors, hit the right button to the door that they're at. The shock should stun them." Freddy explained to them.
"But, how do we get out of here?!" Gregory cried out.
"There should be a large vent in the floor. If we can reach to the room under you, we should be able to force it open and let you both out." Freddy told them. The two saw a large vent in the center of the room.
"We'll keep a lookout on the monitors and let you in." Ayla replied.
"We'll be there soon." Moon said.
Suddenly, the monitors cut off, severing Freddy's connection to it. Vanny appeared on the screen. She smirked, looking at Ayla and Gregory.
"There you are. See you soon!" She taunted, waving to them. The monitor shut off, revealing a timer on it.
"Gregory, do you want to watch the monitors or the doors?" Ayla asked.
"Monitors." Gregory replied. Ayla nodded.
"Then, I'll handle Roxy and Monty."
Ayla ran over to the doors and pressed a button beside one of them when she saw Roxy banging on it. An electric current from the door sent a shock to the wolf animatronic, stunning her. Gregory was watching the screens, listening for Freddy and pressing buttons to release the doors to let the animatronic in. Ayla heard Monty pounding on the door other side of the room. She quickly looked at the screen to see which one he was at and ran over and pressed the button, sending out a shock, stunning him. She noticed that the doors locks were starting to give away by the animatronics strength as they pounded on them.
"Hurry, up you two! They're starting to break in!" Ayla shouted.
"Over here!" Ayla and Gregory heard Freddy call out to them. They ran over and saw him jump up, pulling the vent off from it's hinges.
"Freddy!" Gregory exclaimed, happily. He jumped down into Freddy's arms and he caught him.
"Superstar, I am glad to see that you are okay." Freddy said. Ayla smiled as she saw Moon, next to Freddy.
"Hey, Moony."
There was loud crash, making Ayla, jump. She turn her head to see Roxy had broken in. The wolf animatronic rushed over to her, getting ready to pounce.
"You're not getting away!" Roxy shouted.
"Quick, jump down!" Moon shouted. Ayla hopped down from the vent just before Roxy could grab her. Moon caught her in his arms.
"Thanks, Moony." She smiled then turned to Freddy.
"Freddy, we found the program disk for the stage." she told him.
"Follow me to the Atrium. Put the disk into the sound booth to run a showtime program and it should activate the lift." Freddy said as he lead them down the stairs, heading to the Atrium. He stopped on the stage as they reached it. "My systems are failing. Go to the sound booth and put the disk in then come back. Please hurry, I don't have much time left."
"Okay, save your battery, Freddy. Gregory, stay with him." Ayla said. "I'll take Moony with me and get the disk started."
Ayla and Moon headed across the Atrium, while dodging some of the security bots along the way. As the reached the stairs to the second floor. Ayla stopped as she saw Monty who was on lookout. Moon noticed as well. The two quietly walked around him while avoiding the spotlights and quickly headed up the stairs, reaching the second floor.
"I bet that you don't even have friends." The two heard Roxy nearby and saw that she was searching for them as well.
"You're my friend, Roxy!" Ayla shouted. She quickly covered her mouth, but it was too late. Roxy had heard her and was now coming towards Moon and Ayla.
"There you are!"
Moon grabbed Ayla's wrist and dragged her away as they ran. "Come on!"
"That's right, run away, coward!" Roxy shouted at them as Ayla and Moon ran. Moon stopped and growled and turned back to face her. Ayla stopped him by grabbing his arm.
"Moon, don't listen to her. We don't have time. We need to get to the booth!" She told him.
"Fine." the moon animatronic huffed. The two quickly headed up to the third floor until they spotted Chica and some more security bots, patrolling nearby. They carefully tried dodged around them but Chica spotted the two as they were heading towards the sound booth and chased after them. Ayla pulled Moon around the booth and the two hid as they heard Chica's footsteps walk past them until she left.
"Where are you?" Chica called out. "Ayla, you're already in big trouble. Don't make this any harder for yourself."
Ayla peeked around the corner of the booth and saw that Chica was just a few feet away. She slowly crawled out, so did Moon. Ayla stopped in front of the controls, placing the disk inside. The stage lights came on and large holograms of the glamrocks, followed by music came on as well.
"That should do it." she said. "Let's get back to Freddy."
Just as the two stepped down from the sound booth. Ayla froze as she saw the elevators slowly slide open, seeing Vanny step out.
"Moon, Vanny's here." Ayla warned him.
"I don't see her." Moon growled. He didn't see anything as he looked around, only Chica a few yards away from them. Then he heard a dark chuckle, taunting him as it came closer. The same voice that always gave him orders.
"You can't see me." He heard a sing songy voice said in a mocking tone.
"Why don't you come out and show yourself!" Moon shouted, growing more irritated.
"She's right in front of us." Ayla told him. Then Moon had an idea. He picked Ayla up and slung her over his shoulder like a sack of potatoes. "Wait, what are you doing?" Her eyes widened as Moon jumped on top of the railings. Vanny stopped in her tracks. He made a gravely chuckle, looking down at the ground floor.
"Taking a short cut."
"What?! No! You're crazy!" Ayla screamed.
"Moon!" Moon heard Sun shout at him, trying to get him to stop as well. But, Moon had already leaped off from the railings. The two plummeted down and Moon slammed his feet onto the ground floor as he landed.
"See, we're already at the bottom." He laughed and placed Ayla back on her feet as he set her down on the floor. Ayla was still shaken from the fall.
"Moony! She's not built like us! What if she gotten hurt!?" Moon heard Sun scolded him in his mind.
"Well, that was fun. But, I never want to do that again." Ayla replied as she tried to steady her heartbeat. It felt like she had run a marathon as she felt the adrenaline rush all over her body.
"You won't get away!"
Ayla's eyes widen. She looked up as did Moon when they heard Vanny. She saw Vanny looking down at them from over the railings before the two saw Roxy, Chica and Monty advancing towards them. Ayla grabbed Moon's wrist, pulling him with her as she ran. The other three Glamrocks chased after them as they headed towards the stage.
"We're back!" Ayla called out to Freddy and Gregory as Moon and her stepped back onto the stage.
"Well done, now press that button and the lift will take us down." Freddy said. Ayla quickly pressed the button and the stage started to descend down to parts and services. Vanny growled as she saw the stage leaving.
"I won't let you escape!" she shouted and turned to the alligator animatronic. "Monty, after them!" Monty's eyes glowed red and he let out a ferocious roar. The four heard it and looked up to see the gator animatronic looking down at them from above.
"Monty's after us!" Gregory shouted.
Monty leaped off from the stage and dived down and landed on the lift. He growled as he looked up at the group, standing up. He lunged at them immediately, but Moon lunged out as well. He grabbed Monty by his claws, holding him back.
"Go!" Moon shouted at them to run. Freddy grabbed Gregory but noticed Ayla didn't move.
"Ayla, come on!" Freddy shouted. Ayla shook her head frantically, looking at Moon.
"I'm not leaving you!" she cried out. Moon growled as he felt Monty push against him.
'Fazbear, get her out of here!" He shouted towards Freddy as he struggled against Monty's strength. Freddy ran over and grabbed Ayla, lifting her up as well, carrying her. He ran down the ramp, opening the sliding doors that lead to parts and services. Ayla's eyes widened in horror as she saw Monty threw Moon, slinging him across the lift. His face smashed hard against the concrete wall.
"Moony!" Ayla cried out to him.
"Freddy, we have to go back!" She cried out as she tried to get out of Freddy's grip as he continued to run. The three jumped as they heard Monty roar, as he was chasing behind them. As they reached the front doors to Parts and Services, Freddy stopped in front of a charging station and placed Ayla and Gregory inside of it. The door slammed shut, locking the two inside of it. Ayla and Gregory pounded on the glass window, trying to get the door to open.
"Freddy, what are you doing?!" Ayla shouted.
"Freddy!" Gregory cried out.
The two saw Monty come around the corner and jump out at Freddy, knocking the bear animatronic down onto the floor. They saw Freddy lie motionless on the floor, completely out of power. Ayla and Gregory could only watch as they saw Monty drag Freddy away, pulling him into Parts and Services. The door to the charging station flung open. Ayla and Gregory ran out of it. Gregory ran over towards the door, looking inside of the windows into Parts and Services.
"It's locked!" He exclaimed as he pulled on the doors.
Ayla was worried for the bear animatronic, wondering what was happening to him. But, was more scared for Moon. Where's Moon?! Please don't let him be captured as well.
"Moon? Moony, where are you?!" She called out into the darkness.
"I'm here, Starlight." Ayla felt relief as she heard his voice and saw Moon's red eyes shining within the dark. He stepped out the corner of the hallway. Ayla ran over to him and immediately threw her arms around Moon, hugging him. As she stepped back, looking up at him, Ayla gasped as she saw a large crack on the animatronic's face, running to his eye which was also partially damaged. She reached up to his face plate, holding it gently with her hands. His hands were slightly cracked as well from the pressure of Monty's claws as he tried to hold him back.
"Aw, Moon, your face. It's cracked." She said, worried, and rubbed her thumbs long the crack. This was all her fault. He's hurt because of her. Moon took her hands, holding them.
"I'm okay. I've had worse damages than this." He replied as he tried to calm her down.
"Freddy! He's in there! We have to get him out!" Gregory shouted. He tried to use the security key on the door but it denied him.
"But, we don't have the security key." Ayla said.
"There is one in the..." The two heard Moon spoke softly before he stopped.
"Where, Moon?" Ayla asked.
"The warehouse. It's in a security room." He told her. "It's not too far from here, down the hallway to the left."
"Great! Let's go!" Gregory smiled. "We need to get Freddy out of there!"
But, Ayla noticed that Moon didn't move as he stayed in his spot. She could see that there was something in his eyes that something was bothering him. He looked disturbed and possibly scared. But, why?
"Uh, Moon, are you coming?" She asked him, smiling. "Don't tell me that you're afraid of the basement?"
Moon stared at her as if she had insulted him. "No, it's just not safe!" He hissed, shaking his head.
"Well, we still need the key in order to get into parts and services. If this is the only way to help save Freddy then we have to go. And you need to be looked at as well." She explained.
"Starlight, you do not the horrors that awaits in there." Moon insisted on her not to go.
"And you do?" Ayla questioned. Moon said nothing to her. Ayla sighed.
"Then tell me. What do I have to watch out for?" She asked.
"There are others in there, that are incomplete. Failures. Left behind. The forgotten." He told her. Ayla's eyes widened at what he told her and he continued. "They can not be reasoned with. They will attack and kill you without hesitation."
"How about this, link your systems with my watch, so that way we can talk to each other. If I run into any trouble, I'll call you."
"Wait, I want to go with you! I want to help Freddy!" Gregory insisted.
"I want you to stay here with Moon." Ayla told him. "If he says it's dangerous then you should stay here with him where it's safe."
"No way!" Gregory argued. "I don't want to stay with him!"
"I don't want you here either, brat." Moon commented, not liking it as well.
"This is why I want you two to stay together. You two need to get along." Ayla insisted. "Just until I get back."
"Fine." Gregory whined and rolled his eyes, crossing his arms.
"Just be careful. Just get in and get out." Moon told her. "If you're not back in fifteen minutes. I'm coming in there."
"I will." Ayla smiled.
"Here, take your flashlight with you. You're going to need it in there." Moon told her as he handed Ayla her flashlight to her. Ayla shook her head, pushing it back to him.
"Sun needs it more than me. It helps him feel safe."
"Then, here, take mine." Gregory handed her his. Ayla smiled and took it from him. She walked away heading in the direction where Moon told her to go. Moon silently watched as she went around the corner.
He could hear Sun screaming at him in the back of his mind, to go after her.
"We shouldn't have let her gone in there alone, Moony!"
"You don't think that I know that! I hate this as much as you do, Sun." Moon said back to him.
Moon felt his hands starting to shake slightly. He didn't like the idea as much as Sun, sending Ayla on her own into THAT place. He hated that he felt like this. He never thought that he would end up back here again. Back to where it all started for him and Sun. He hugged himself as he tried to calm Sun down as well as himself at the memory.
Dark, alone, and abandoned.
