Skipping along the halls of the Pizzaplex, Vanny was following a trail of blood as it traveled across the floor in different directions while she was laughing menacingly as her knife was soaked with blood as she was eager on spilling some more as she breathed in the copper scent through her nose, savoring the taste.
" Oh Gregory...I know where you are...I can smell you and there's nowhere to hide from me. " She taunted as she checked every stroller and each store for any trace of the troublesome brat. " Come on out and play with me some more...Freddy won't protect you for much longer...You'll be on your own soon enough...I'm going to enjoy the moment when that happens." She chuckled menacingly as she wagged her tail...how she was able to do such a thing in her homemade rabbit suit is anybody's guess.
Vanny skipped her merry way past Roxanne, who was sniffing around like an actual wolf hunting for her prey, her ears flattened against her head and her tail was swishing about while threating the child by promising to rip his limbs off and eat his heart, something that'll make William Afton proud.
Glamrock Chica on the other hand, was munching on slices of pizza and offering candy to the absent children like a sexual predator between bites as she walked her zombie like gait in her search for Gregory, Vanny wondering to herself on why did she program the chicken to have an eating disorder in the first place.
With the two animatronics joining her, She stopped skipping when she spotted the blood trail ending at a photo booth and sounds of muffled cries of pain coming from within, grinning widely within her mask as she forced the curtain open and much to her frustration, he was already gone...replaced with a Glamrock Freddie sound plush that was repeating pained cries of children, to which Vanny stabbed in the face in anger. " Where are you, you little bastard!?"
Gregory with his arm wrapped in thick layers of toilet paper like a bandage, was crawling through the dark vents when his flashlight ran out of charge and he cursed under his breath over it's unreliability as he rapidly shook it for several minutes until it finally lit back up for him to get jumpscared by someone staring at him with a toothy smile...more like four with the extra head doing the same, what he was able to make out was very heavily damaged from a fire sometime ago.
"H-i-Hi-I *shrk* T-t-t-t-there Sug-sug-sug-sug-Gar! " It greeted with it's damaged voicebox. " M-m-m-m-m-m-My Name is F-f-f-Foxy, but everyone just calls me The Mangle-gle-gle-gle.
" Ummmm nice to meet you too, I guess. " Gregory responded with unease in his voice.
" What's your na-na-name, Sweet-sweet-sweet-ie? " Mangle asked as Yes creaked his body around to adjust herself to the cramped vents, something the boy can agree with the many times he's crawled through the vents and the many run ins from the creepy tiny Music Man toys.
" Gregory..." Gregory responded.
" Aww, Such a cute little name for a even cuter little rascal-cal-cal-cal, Hehe! " Mangle chuckled until their voice went deeper in octave. " Are you having a good time in F-F-F-Freddie Fazbear's Pizzeria-ia-ia-ia? "
" Not really, no and that doesn't exist anymore, you're in the MegaPizzaPlex..." Gregory corrected her, not revealing that the location they were referring to was miles underneath the place they're in and the child would like to forget it or Burntrap ever existed for his own sanity.
" Yeah...I kind of-of-of-of fig-fig-figured that..." Mangle said with a somber tone in her voicebox. " I lost my friends in the fire...except for Balloon Boy, I'm glad he's d-d-dead the annoying little air biscuit! "
" Ouch, that's harsh! " Gregory called him out on it's apathetic whiplash. " He was your friend, wasn't he? "
" No...not really. " Mangle spoke with venom in his voice. " You try spending time with him every day of every moment of your existence dealing with his annoying laugh and dumb jokes and being hit on until your home burns down with him inside and then you'll understand my plight. "
"Uh...okay? " Gregory responded with confusion.
" Sorry, I j-j-just needed to *fade out*...vent! huh? Eheh? " Mangle said as they prodded the unamused child's shoulder while pointing to the vents with a doofy smile over her little pun. " Geez kid, get a sense of hu-hu-romuh-hu humor why don't-don't-don't ya?." She frowned.
" Pretty hard to have one when I'm running for my life here! " Gregory pointed out while pointing to his bandaged arm. " This crazy bunny lady sliced my arm! "
" Oh-oh-oh D-d-d-d-d-ear! " Mangle exclaimed as they examined the arm as the dried blood shown through the toilet paper. " You need to get-get-get this checked out or it'll get infec-infec-infec-ted-ted-ed and I'll have to gnaw it off to save your life!"
Gregory stared at her in alarm.
" Hehe hehe hehehe! Just mess-ess-ess-ing with-with-with you, Sug-ar-ar-ar-ar! " Mangle laughed as their laughter got lower and lower in a more menacing tone as her only working eye turned white as she opened her mouth and lunged forward towards Gregory..."Oh how Your flesh and blood, Oh how Your flesh and blood.. "
who punched him on reflex, knocking their head off and sending it clattering down the vents as it's body chased after it. " Ow you fuckgoblin, I was trying to help you! "
" Then don't lunge at me!" Gregory snapped as he was shaking.
" Now we're both injured! " Mangle snared as he placed her head back on their neck and tied it back in place. " Ah...that's better, now for you! " She said as he crawled towards Gregory and grabbed him with one hand, holding him close as they climbed out of the vents and into the pizzaplex in search of the first aid station. " Be careful with my arm there Sugar, I'm not as stable as I used to be. Hehe Hehe Hehe Hehe! "
" Hey, put me down! " He shouted as Mangle crawled about on the ceiling, understandably not okay with being suspended so high up in the air with the crazy animatronic spider fox.
" Re-re-re-er-er-re-lax little dude, you're safe-safe-safe with me! " They told him while using the large ceiling ventilation system as monkey bars, with Gregory hoping that Roxanne or Vanny won't notice him and that Freddy would save him from Mangle, he's only met her for short while and he's already creeped by them.
Glamrock Chica was roaming the halls until she heard Gregory's voice from up high as she turned her head upwards to follow the sound and noticed him and Mangle on the ceiling, putting a smile on her face until it was quickly replaced with confusion. " Who's your new friend? I don't recognize them at all.." She shook her head to get her mind back on the job and whistled for Roxy and Monty to her, the gator and wolf showing up beside her instantly and she directed their attention to Gregory and Mangle, bringing sadistic smiles to Roxanne and Monty's faces as the trio restarted their hunt for the child and pursued the two.
Vanessa watching the events unfold on the security cameras before getting up and opening her locker to don her bunny suit...
" You're mine, Gregory..." She grinned as her eyes turned purple. " Good work, Mangle. "
