As security robots begun heading towards Bonnie Bowl, Freddy could be seen outside watching them with a look of worry in his eyes. Their numbers already made it hard for him to get passed, their bodies making it difficult to walk. He looked up ahead of him and begun worrying about Gregory, their obvious target. The security alarm continued to sound as Freddy managed to break away from the horde of droids. But soon after, he looked across the floor of the Pizzaplex, stopping in utter shock at the sight of the giant Bonnie looking on with eyes wide open at the chaos unfolding. Unable to realize who it was, however, Freddy pressed on into Bonnie Bowl….
FIVE NIGHTS AT FREDDY'S: SECURITY BREACH
SUPERSTAR EDITION
Hour 2.6: Sinister Secrets of the Mega Pizzaplex
~ 1:51 am | Bonnie Bowl - Security Office ~
The monitors continued streaming "Willie's" face, his true name revealed as William Afton to Gregory and Vanessa. The alarm blared as Afton was now maliciously laughing, his broadcast locked in a repeated loop. Vanessa attempted to use the keyboard but to no avail, angrily pounding her fists against it.
"It's no use! I can't shut down the alarm!" she groaned "That stupid "Afton" has this console completely under HIS control!" Just then, Gregory gasped as he heard the security bots gathered around the office beginning to pound away on the door in a mob. Their relentless attacking even caused some of their fellow robots to be shoved aside or tripped over, left stuck on the floor with no way up.
"V-Vanessa? Any ideas what we should do about THEM?" he asked, pointing to the window. She quickly glanced outside before searching what they had access to in the security office. Much to Gregory's worry, she did not respond to his question.
"Vanessa! C'mon! What are we gonna do?!" he asked "I don't think Freddy can get here through a swarm of security robots!" Just then, Vanessa noticed something and snapped her fingers. In a swift movement, she picked up a crowbar and handed it to Gregory.
"Sorry….this will have to do. If you need to, just BEAT your way through! But don't worry. I've got your back." she said, bringing out her taser. Gregory nodded, prepping himself before the door finally gave out and the security robots began charging in. But the swarm was met with a swift kick by Vanessa, knocking a good number over. Some barreled by to grab Gregory, but they were either retaliated with the crowbar or taser from the duo. With enough effort, they had pushed enough back to squeeze out of the office. They ran down another hallway as the remaining robots gave chase.
"What now?!" he asked, eyeing the swarming robots.
"It's okay! These hallways loop back around. As long as we keep moving, we should be able to find a way back to the main atrium!" Vanessa responded. Behind them, the security robots began to hiss and give out screeching sounds. They passed around another corner but Vanessa took a moment to throw out another of the costume racks and other debris, building a mock barrier to either slow them down or cause them to stumble over. Those who could still move kept up the chase as, true to her words, Vanessa and Gregory came out another door leading back to the bowling lanes. But waiting outside were more security robots, stopping at the sight of them.
"Oh COME ON!" Vanessa groaned.
"How many of these things are in this place?!" Gregory added. Just then, he heard a voice calling out to him from across the room.
"GREGORY! HOLD ON!" Freddy cried. Gregory gasped and searched through the crowd to see Freddy forcing himself through the mob. When they began building up too much, some deciding to turn on him to block his path, Freddy began to growl. Vanessa had a feeling she knew what was coming next.
"Uh oh! Gregory! EARS!" she yelled, turning away as both covered their ears. Like before, Freddy let out his "grizzly roar" from his mouth, meant for when a threat was detected. The staff bots begun freaking out as many of them started to either spin in place, knocking each other over in a panic or lose their heads as it was too much and their heads popped off. Vanessa then crouched down and helped Gregory onto her in a piggyback fashion before dashing to rejoin Freddy.
"C'mon Freddy! Back to the main lobby!" Vanessa shouted. Freddy nodded and joined them in fleeing, effortlessly plowing through the now stunned robots. They successfully managed to reach the outside, stopping for a moment for Vanessa to catch her breath. But soon after, they looked towards the elevator shaft and saw, in shock, more of the other staff robots approaching.
"W-What?!" Gregory shouted. Vanessa had a mortified expression as she looked on at the mob.
"Just great! Afton must've turned ALL the staff bots in the ENTIRE building on us!" she exclaimed. They then heard another loud roar come from across the floor. But this was a sound Vanessa had heard previously. She glanced to see the giant Bonnie glaring at them, his eyes turning purple too. The mere sight of him caused her to shriek, catching Freddy and Gregory's attention.
"Not YOU too!" she yelled. They both turned towards El Chips and watched as the giant rabbit began backing up. It then charged forward before effortlessly springing over the large gap in the mall floors.
"W-What the hell….?!" Gregory proclaimed. Bonnie landed ahead of the trio with a booming thud, shaking up the ground and throwing them partially off balanced while the staff bots fell over. He then feverishly turned back, eyeing Vanessa with a snarl.
"Wait…Bonnie? I-Is that you?!" Freddy asked, baffled by what he was seeing. The young boy gasped.
"H-Huh?! You mean THIS guy…is HIM?!" Gregory asked, pointing to the artist render on the wall. Vanessa groaned.
"I guess so, Gregory. But…it looks like Afton got to him too." she explained. Freddy was next to gasp.
"A-Afton….?" he thought "Why….does that word…seem so familiar to me?" Bonnie's snarling grew worse before he exploded into an vicious roar, the soundwaves having the same effect on the staff robots as Freddy's voice. He loomed over with eyes on Vanessa, Freddy and Gregory, steam blowing out of his nostrils as he snorted like an enraged bull.
"B-B-Bonnie? If…If that's you in there, p-please…hear me out. My name is Vanessa….a-and I'm one of the security guards that work here. D-Do you remember anything about the nice people that also work here at the Pizzaplex?" Vanessa asked, trying to calm his enraged spirit. However, her words did not seem to work as Bonnie's face showed no sign of change.
"Bonnie….no." the animatronic bear muttered. Looking over Vanessa's shoulder, Gregory was utterly silent as he could not look away from the angry animatronic. But as he did, another strange feeling began to come over him. He lightly gasped, having flashes of hallucinations on par to when Vanny first met him. But these seemed to be more of ghastly figures emerging from Bonnie's body like steam, black in color with red eyes.
"Uhhhh….do you guys see the….creepy black smoke seeping from Bonnie's joints?" he asked, pointing towards him. Vanessa and Freddy lightly gasped, looking back at the large animatronic. But there were no signs of the "smoke" Gregory spoke of.
"Gregory….I do not see anything." Freddy replied.
"Same here." Vanessa added. From Gregory's eyes, the red eyed figures then turned towards him with all their eyes fixated on me. The young boy gasped, feeling the weight of their stares. Bonnie did likewise, his eyes turning towards his. However, the moment their eyes met, Bonnie's expression suddenly changed as did the dark figures seeping from him. Their eyes now looked either surprised or stunned to realize Gregory could see them. In almost an instant, the air of rage he exerted lifted itself from around the four of them. Vanessa could not believe her eyes, staring in awe with Freddy.
"Gregory….?" she thought, her eyes quietly looking his way. Just then, Bonnie slowly rose a hand and begun reaching it towards Gregory. The young boy's fear appeared to be fading as he merely watched quietly.
...PLEASE...HELP…USSS…
Freddy and Vanssa were taken aback slightly, these being the first words Bonnie had spoken all night thus far. But worrying that Gregory was still in danger, Vanessa slowly backed away from Bonnie. The animatronic looked a bit surprised, beginning to worry.
"F-Freddy? C'mon. Let's go." she muttered "Before Chica or the rest show up…." Freddy silently nodded as they then hurried off. Bonnie gasped as he kept his arm extended, eyes still looking on at Gregory. The young boy could not shake his fixation on the rabbit either, seeing the silhouettes now full of worry.
"Don't worry!" Gregory called, his voice stunning the animatronic "I'll save ALL of you! I SWEAR I WILL!" His voice echoed through the atrium as they ran farther away. Bonnie then slowly lowered his arm, his eyes now looking slightly dejected and full of misery. From the security cameras, Afton watched Bonnie's actions before he himself begun growling.
BONNIE! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! MOVE THOSE OVERSIZED FEET AND BRING ME THE BOY!
His voices played over the speakers as everyone could hear it. As it reverberated in Bonnie's ears, the animatronic rabbit's face returned to a look of rage as he let out a loud roar towards Afton's voice.
TCH. SO BE IT.
Messing with the controls, Afton suddenly had the remaining security robots turn away from their chase and now begun swarming towards Bonnie. The bunny watched as he became surrounded from all sides. He began snarling once more before going into a blind fury, swinging his giant arm at a horde of them.
~ 2:00 am | Children's Cove - Play Floor ~
As Freddy and the rest fled, they found that the entrance to Children's Cove had been left partially opened. The animatronic was able to get it open and then close it behind him, using all his might to ensure it. With the threat behind them, Vanessa put Gregory down as the two slowly found seating among the statues and displayes littered about Children's Cove, the area modeled after an attraction meant for Captain Foxy. There were items such as lighthouses, a large slide leading from the top of a pirate themed ship, cutouts of various sea creatures and more scattered around the room. First assuring the doors were locked tightly, Freddy approached the others.
"Are you all right…Gregory? Vanessa?" he asked, voice full of worry. Still panting heavily, Gregory merely looked back before briefly nodding.
"We're….okay, Fredster." Vanessa replied, partially exhausted "But…I have a funny feeling….we won't be returning to the main entrance anytime soon." Gregory opened his backpack and pulled out his water, taking a few good gulps.
"Yes. It would appear that "Afton" summoned as many of the nearby staff robots when he sent that mob after us." Freddy said. Vanessa nodded.
"My thoughts exactly. But…how do you…?" she asked, stopped by Freddy.
"You happen to shout his name amidst the chaos." he explained. Setting his water aside, the bottle now nearing the last fourth full, Gregory turned to his friends.
"D-Do you guys know that guy? He called himself "William Afton"….and I didn't know if he worked here." he asked. Vanessa shook her head.
"No. I never heard of that name or ANYONE here using it. Do you, Freddy?" she asked, to which Freddy shook his head. Vanessa lightly sighed before looking nearby, seeing another office room just near the lighthouse structure.
"Looks like there's a computer here. Maybe….he hasn't corrupted this one yet." she thought. She went to check the office as Freddy approached Gregory's side. The young boy looked up at him.
"You are not hurt….are you?" he asked. Gregory shook his head.
"N-No. I'm fine…nothing broken." the boy replied. Meanwhile, inside the office, Vanessa used her credentials to log into the computer, lucky enough to be free of Afton's control. She then began to access the internet and did a search for the name spoken earlier, "William Afton". As she searched, Freddy and Gregory could hear other sounds coming from a sealed off area of Children's Cove. It sounded like something was banging around, making echoing metallic noises. A voice then cried out from behind the shutter.
Arrrgh! W-Where am I?! Is…Is anyone there? Hello?! Fredbear?! Security Lady? L-Lil' Bucaneer?!
The two gasped, quickly recognizing the voice to be Foxy's. They hurried over towards the shutter and, using Freddy's strength, pushed it open. They peered inside to see Foxy still active but his animatronic body confided to a currently offline charging station. The door was locked shut, kept closed by a dial padlock on the handle, as only his face could be seen from the window. He caught glimpse of them and gasped.
"A-Ah! Friends! Over 'ere! Get me outta this infernal capsule….b-before me nerves get the better of me!" Foxy shouted. Gregory hurried over while Freddy brought on his night vision lights, casting enough light for Gregory to see the lock. He listened very closely, observing each and every sound it made, while moving around the dial. In moments, he had managed to figure out the code and remove the lock, allowing Foxy to break out. Though Gregory was thrown back a bit by the sudden action, Foxy rushed to Freddy and threw his arms around him.
"Ooohhh! Thank you! Thank you BOTH! I thought this would be me resting place!" Foxy cried. Freddy lightly sighed, patting the fox's back with one hand.
"F-Foxy…." Gregory asked, standing back up "What were you doing in there? I thought you were supposed to be with Vanessa." Foxy turned back to the boy as he released Freddy.
"Aye…I was. But then…we got into this grand scuffle with those "friends" yer trying to help. Ohh…that "Roxy" is not an easy lassie to deal with….I tell ya what." he explained "B-But there was this GINORMOUS one fightin' alongside them! A-And I tell ya what…" But Freddy interrupted, asking if he was going to mention Bonnie.
"Y-Yes? Wait. How do you know?" he asked.
"We just ran into him outside Bonnie Bowl. The mall is currently overrun by security robots under the control of someone named "Afton". HE is the reason we are in this predicament…and most likely the one who is harming Bonnie and the rest." Freddy said, explaining recent events. The fox looked on in surprise, taking off his hat to scratch his head.
"W-Wow. And I only just woke up…trapped in that infernal pod." he explained "One of 'em must've picked me up, thrown me in and tossed away da key after the fightin' was over." Freddy and Gregory returned to the open floor as Foxy came along besides them. But he found himself stopped momentarily, glimpsing towards the far wall and left with a face full of shock. At the same time, Vanessa opened the door to the office.
"Freddy….Gregory?" she called, holding a good number of papers in her hand "You….might want to prepare yourselves for what I found." The two looked puzzled as Freddy asked what she had found. Vanessa glanced at the papers with worry.
"It's the results of my online search…for this "William Afton" character." she explained "Let me just say…this ain't no "fairy tale"…" Freddy and Gregory lightly gasped as, back in the previously sealed room, Foxy had been looking at the inactive animatronic bodies of his other crewmates laid against the wall or their bodies slunk on the ground with eyes shut.
