Vanessa's House – Hurricane, Utah – 20 minutes from Pizzaplex

Monday, October 1st 2035

6:00 PM

It was raining outside, the first day of October did call for a forecast of clouds. Vanessa had just got home from work an hour ago, and was busy cooking dinner, while Gregory was in his room doing homework.

Vanessa was wearing gray sweatpants and a white tank top around the house.

On the menu in the Afton house tonight was baked chicken, mashed potatoes, gravy and corn. She was busy cooking things up as the storm continued outside.

Meanwhile…

A Sporty Black 2035 BMW M3 with black low profile rims pulled up in front of Vanessa's suburban home.

Luis Cabrera turned off the ignition. He was a well built muscular Hispanic man with a light beard, jet black hair, and glasses. He often wore dress pants, dress shoes, a white dress shirt and tie. In his earlier days when he first met Vanessa at the Fazbear Delivery Service department, he was known for not being well kept and dressed. Since those days, he has changed a lot, even in how he conducts himself. He was a man once known for being shy, but since working out, eating better, and opening up a successful software company on the side, life has looked up for him. That doesn't change the fact however, that the things that happened at Fazbear 5 years ago when Vanessa was infected by Glitchtrap and his recent experience at Silver Parasol changed him. He was more careful of who he trusted these days. It took a while before he could learn to trust Elizabeth Afton in her current form, helping him leak information from Silver Parasol. He couldn't help but notice that she looked exactly like his former love interest from Fazbear, down to the same color eyes and beauty as Vanessa.

Maybe that's why he began to trust her.

The former Silver Parasol and former Fazbear IT employee looked over to Elizabeth. Elizabeth, like Vanessa had her blond hair up in a ponytail. She wore her high end red leather jacket, designed by Chica and Roxanne's fashion line, with her red tank top underneath, and her red dress pants and brown heels. She checked her new smart watch Luis got for her.

"Daddy is probably assembling his new group now." Elizabeth said with displeasure. She exhaled. The former spirit and circus animatronic turned living human woman was not happy to find out Vanny had successfully managed to bring her father back to life in some form yet again. A man she once loved and would do anything for to impress him, but since her recent experiences at Silver Parasol, and as one of their experiments produced by them by cloning technology, her attitude as changed greatly.

"You sure your ready for this? We can leave and go back to your hideout right now. You don't have to do this today." Luis said.

"No. I'm ready. My niece needs to know what is happening." Elizabeth said trying to calm herself.

"Are you ready for how Vanessa might react? It's going to be little freaky for her to see herself showing up at her doorstep." Luis said.

"My superhuman abilities might be fading since I took a hit from that dart during my escape from Vanny, but that doesn't mean my close quarters combat skills have diminished. I could be considered a master in Ju Jitsu at my skill level….Don't worry Luis I'm not going to attack her, it's only a backup plan for defensive measures." Elizabeth said.

"Okay, well, if your ready, I'll be right here waiting." Luis said.

"I'll wave you to come if things go well. Until then just stay in the car, and let this play out. Wish me luck." Elizabeth said getting out of the car. The rain was heavy but not too terrible for her. She walked up Vanessa's driveway to her front door.

6:10 PM

Vanessa heard a knock at her front door. The chicken was still baking in the oven, she had just put it in.

"Greggy can you get the door for me? I'm a little busy at the moment." Vanessa said still working on dinner.

"Sure thing mom!" Gregory came downstairs to go answer the front door. He opened the door and was taken aback.

"Gregory is your mother home?" Elizabeth asked.

The 13 year old boy was speechless, he couldn't find words.

"Gregory who is it? Gregory. Gregory?" Vanessa said not getting a response.

"Mom…mom….it's…it's you! It's Elizabeth!" Gregory shouted.

As if on instinct hearing her child cry out that sentence, she grabbed a kitchen knife running for the door.

"Hello my niece." Elizabeth said.

"Gregory get behind me! Go to your room and lock the door, call the police if I don't come get you in 1 minute." Vanessa said standing in front of her child with the knife. Gregory backed up and ran but didn't run to his room, watching the scene unfold from around a corner from the kitchen.

"So is that my grandnephew? Can I come in?" Elizabeth said.

"I knew it was only a matter of time before you tracked us down. Stay the fuck away from my son!" Vanessa said razing her knife at Elizabeth.

"Vanessa I'm not here to hurt you or my grandnephew. Please let us talk." Elizabeth said.

"Hell no. Your probably working for Vanny. Dad told me about you when he was alive. I may have been a little girl, but I remember everything. How you would do anything for William and how you always sided with William on everything. You didn't give a shit about Michael. You're the one who killed him! My father would still be here today, if his own sister didn't murder him in that damn animatronic." Vanessa shouted in anger.

Elizabeth didn't want to go there but should have figured it was coming. Flashbacks of the scooper she operated while inside Ennard ripping out Michael's insides flashed in her mind. Images of watching Michael burn in the old underground Pizzeria with her and their father flashed in her mind. She tried to push her emotions aside to continue her mission.

"Vanessa, I'm going to ask you nicely to put the knife down. I'm not here to hurt you. I'm not here to hurt anyone. Please." Elizabeth asked calmly.

"It wasn't enough grandpa was in my mind for 5 years as Glitchtrap. No. My old boss Jason Tyler had to take my DNA and make a body for you and one for Vanny as one last "fuck you" to me. I'm not afraid of you, and I still don't believe you. You and William were one and the same. Just as evil as he was. You also stole from my company and my new family. Not only you're the reason I lost my father, but your also the reason I almost lost my son a few months ago on what should have been an innocent trip with the two animatronics that love him. That modified Twisted Wolf just didn't come out of thin air. You had taken the schematics you found at our warehouse and gave them to Vanny. Your also the reason Freddy lost one of his closest friends that night as well." Vanessa said with tears coming down her eyes.

Elizabeth looked to side as if she didn't want to face some of the truth of her past actions she deeply regrets today. But everything she held in came as anger in this moment.

"I said. GET THAT DAMN KNIFE OUT OF MY FACE!" Elizabeth said grabbing Vanessa's hand with inhuman speed and disarming her forcing her to drop the knife.

Vanessa then snap kicked Elizabeth in the stomach while she still held Vanessa's arm.

The two women were now fighting each other, both of them testing their fighting skills. She let go of Vanessa's arm as she was pushed back. She swung at Vanessa, with Vanessa dodging it then countering by knocking her arm out of the way and going for a punch to Elizabeth's face, but Elizabeth grabbed Vanessa's fist with her other hand stopping it, using what was left of her superhuman strength. Vanessa could feel the pain of her squeezing. Elizabeth then took her other hand and pushed Vanessa to the ground then pinned her down. Elizabeth kept her pinned down not to hurt Vanessa, but to keep her from attacking her.

"Stop please." Gregory said. His words were not heard from ether of them. He ran to his room to grab something.

"You think I don't regret that! Ever since they brought me back in this body, the same body you have, I have had non-stop nightmares about what I've done so long ago, every damn day. I miss my brother! I…was just too stupid to see how much he was looking out for me, my mother and Evan." Elizabeth couldn't keep up the tough appearance anymore. Tears started come down her cheek, her voice breaking.

"I know Evan's death was an accident, and I blamed Michael for all of it. Maybe that's why I had sided with father for so long. But I was wrong, he was just trying to save me from father and from the pain I felt being trapped inside that machine." Elizabeth said.

"You can apologize all you want. It doesn't change the fact I had to grow up without a father for half of my life, because of what you and William did. Now get off me…." Vanessa said turning her face away with tears.

"Vanessa….why is our family so fucked up?" Elizabeth asked. Normally she does not swear often, and for most of her life was soft spoken and gentle sounding. But her experiences since being re-born in a new body, have changed her a bit.

Vanessa still had her head turned away, with more tears coming down her face.

"Vanessa say something." Elizabeth pleaded.

"…I don't know. That's a question for my grandfather. And he's gone now. I stopped him months ago. Now please Elizabeth…get off me." Vanessa said sounding defeated.

Elizabeth got off of Vanessa. She offered her hand to help her up.

Vanessa while she was still upset and irritated, did accept. Elizabeth lifted her back up.

They both noticed Gregory was still standing there. Gregory had his exosuit on, in combat mode, ready to go.

"Gregory I told you to go in your room! And call the police!" Vanessa said.

"I…couldn't just leave you alone mom. I know you can usually handle things on your own, but I wanted to be there incase I needed to jump in. I may be a kid, but that doesn't mean I can't fight to protect my mother when needed. But…it looks like I didn't need to jump in." Gregory said.

"I appreciate it but what if something happened to me just now? What would have you done then?" Vanessa asked.

"Eliminate the threat. Just like you did to great grandpa." Gregory said looking at Elizabeth with a glare.

Elizabeth was shocked to see how tough the child was compared to her younger brother Evan.

"Well…I think things are okay for the moment. But keep your suit on, and don't go anywhere just yet." Vanessa said. The child carefully stepped back keeping an eye on Elizabeth as he stepped back.

She turned to Elizabeth throwing her hands up.

"So what do we do now? Did you really come here to ask for forgiveness? I know Jason brought you back for a reason. You are the one who stole from our warehouse in St. George and killed one of our guards. Your lucky I haven't even told the others yet that you're here. Why are you really here? What do you want with us?" Vanessa asked.

"To warn you." Elizabeth said.

"About what?" Vanessa asked raising an eyebrow.

"Your grandfather is alive." Elizabeth said with a serious tone.

Vanessa's heart sank.

"What!? No..that can't be right. I stopped him. I destroyed him using the ARP-7 on him in his monster form. It should have eliminated any traces of Remnant he could latch on to." Vanessa said.

Even Gregory was shocked at this.

"You can thank Vanny and the Glitchtrap cult for that. Keep in mind Vanessa. Glitchtrap was a virus, a piece of code, a program. Just because you stopped one thing he resided in, doesn't mean he didn't have copies of himself stored elsewhere, that he didn't have other people aside from you under his influence. He was exactly like William when he was alive, he always had a backup plan to the backup plan. It's how Jason was also able to bring back Vanny. Even though she was a personality Glitchtrap helped form in your head, all it took was for Jason to do a scan of your head, during one of the episodes you blacked out in, using his technology to get a digital copy of that personality. And store it for later use on a set of hard drives. Once he had that, he did his first cloning experiment using DNA he extracted from a strand of hair he found in the Pizzaplex locker room showers, while you were secretly living in the Pizzaplex as Vanny. All this happened while you were under Glitchtrap's control, you just don't realize it." Elizabeth said.

"So you mean, everything we did. Everything to stop him. Was all for nothing?" Vanessa said taken aback.

"I wouldn't say it was all for nothing." Elizabeth said noticing a photo on wall of all the Glamrocks, Vanessa and Gregory together during their beach trip.

"Because it seems like you gained the family I never got to have." Elizabeth said.

"And where do you fit into all this?" Vanessa asked.

"After Jason successfully made a clone of you to become the new Vanny, without your influence keeping her at bay, he set his sites on improving his cloning technology. But he made me after the Pizzaplex incident happened. You see, Jason did survive the explosion, but was horrifically disfigured. I don't know how he escaped the fire, the wolf or the blob he resided in, but someone helped him pull it off. That's when he started his work underground at Silver Parasol, under the facade of that lovely gaming company that once created the VR tech Glitchtrap used to get in you. Once my consciousness was made from the old chips that resided in Circus Baby, he gave me this body made from your DNA, with a few modifications to my genetic code. Once he saw how much of a success I was, he took advantage of using me to do his dirty work for him outside of the walls of the hidden Silver Parasol facility. It took some time for me to realize what I was being used for, and who I used to be before living in this new body. Eventually Vanny double crossed Jason, killed him, this time for good and took over Silver Parasol. I never wanted any of this Vanessa. I was born and forced into it, no different then when I lived my life as Circus Baby. All I want, is see Michael, Evan and my mother one last time, and to stop my father once and for all. You were the last living piece of my family left alive until today." Elizabeth said.

"Were?" Vanessa asked but then Luis Cabrera walked into the house. Everyone looked at him.

Vanessa recognized the voice and the face. This was a man she had not seen since the VR incident 5 years ago. But he sounded different, more calm and collected.

"Luis…is that you?" Vanessa said in disbelief as she saw the well dressed and confident man walk in.

"Yeah…Ness it's me. It's been awhile hasn't it?" Luis said with a confident smile.

She couldn't believe this was the man that once had a crush on her at the office when she first started at Fazbear Entertainment. To this day, she fells bad for taking advantage of him, even if it was Vanny taking over her to do it.

"Luis…it's been awhile…" Vanessa said not sure of what to say.

Gregory was stunned at the scene so far. It just kept getting crazier and crazier for him.

The oven went off for the chicken Vanessa was cooking.

"Maybe we should all sit down and talk things out. I can assure you Ness, Elizabeth only wants to help, and so do I. There is much that happened during the Salt Lake City incident, you need to know about." Luis said calmly.

Vanessa nodded.

"Yeah. Gregory take off your suit. Help me get the plates ready." Vanessa said.

"Okay mom…" Gregory said shutting down his suit then taking off pieces of the advanced suit off. He took his helmet off as well.

Luis shut the front door then they all took a seat at Vanessa's dinning room table. There was enough food to serve everyone.

"Ness, your going to want to get Glamrock Freddy on the phone for this. And before we proceed. I was the whistleblower you and the OAS had been in communication with." Luis said.

"Fuck…I'm going to need a drink." Vanessa said as she grabbed her iPhone and called Freddy putting him on speaker phone.

"Hello Vanessa!" Freddy said in his usual cheerful voice.

"Freddy….your not going to believe who is sitting in my dinning room right now…" Vanessa said.
