In another location of the Pizzaplex, Afton stands alone while he pursues through his Fazwatch at the multitude of security camera footage he had access to. His last broadcasted feed came from the lower storage, the site of Roxy and Foxy finding Monty, before he shifts to the arcade Gregory is currently in. As the cameras show DJ Music Man rising up and the Glitch's control coming over him, the villainous mastermind reacted almost as if he was in complete shock at what was happening. His fist shook with anger as he abruptly turned the screen off and hurried off down another hall…


FIVE NIGHTS AT FREDDY'S: SECURITY BREACH
~ SUPERSTAR EDITION ~

Hour 4.5: Gregory the Hero! Fight to Free DJ Music Man!


~ 3:52 am | West Arcade - Dance Floor ~

Now under the influence of the Glitch, DJ Music Man laughed maniacally as he locked onto Gregory. Vanessa stood between the two of them, acting as a shield for the boy, with her eyes dead set on Music Man.

"DJ! If you can hear me, fight back! Don't let this bug get the better of you!" she yelled back. The robot's "eyes" narrowed, seemingly taking offense.

"HEY! WHOEVER SAID I WAS A MERE "BUG"?! I'M A FULL ON COMPUTER VIRUS, LADY! COULD A "BUG" DO THIS?!"

Music Man's left arm raised up and was soon hovering over their heads. Sensing what was coming next, the security guard acted fast and scooped up Gregory. They hightailed it off the dance floor as Music Man slammed his hand down hard, smashing the neon board into pieces and leaving a massive handprint.

"V-Vanessa! I remember that "voice" coming from the robots at Fazer Blast!" Gregory proclaimed "That must've been why the boss bot went spastic on me!" Rather than reply, Vanessa hurried to Freddy's side with the boy still in her arms.

"Freddy! Take Gregory and get him back to the elevator! I'll follow you guys once you're safely out of here!" she explained, handing the boy to him. But just then, they all heard the sound of a beastly roar from nearby. They all turned in shock to see the broken, shattered top half remains of Fake Monty, dragging his splintered body across the ground with his deformed hands. He crawled at a frantic pace.

"T-That's the fake Monty! But…how'd HE get up here?" Gregory asked "He literally blew up when we threw him off the catwalk!" The fake Monty lunged towards Freddy, jaws opened up wide, before chomping down on his leg casing. The shock of the attack caused the bear to repel Gregory aside to keep him safe. He then quickly acted to pry the beast off.

"You're MINE, FAZBEAR!" Fake Monty snarled, not letting go. In the panic, DJ Music Man laughed before quickly snatching Gregory up in his hand. Vanessa gasped as he then begun to crawled away along the walls.

"GREGORY!" she shrieked as the DJ crawled into an open tunnel on the nearby wall. She then hurried off as Freddy still dealt with Fake Monty. Using his brute strength, he eventually pried the teeth off long enough to break free. But there were now puncture marks visibe on his casing. The broken animatronic flopped to the ground before looking him dead in the eyes

"So…YOU are the monster that tried to replace my friend!" Freddy shouted. Fake Monty flashed a toothy sneer before using his arms to lunge at Freddy.

~ Same Time | Lower Level Storage ~

In the storage area beneath the Theater, Foxy and Roxanne just came under attack by Vanny and a group of endoskeletons following her command. The vicious rabbit lady came after Roxanne with frequent jab attacks and slashes from her knife. Meanwhile, Foxy kept the endoskeletons coming for him at bay with his sword. Monty remained silently sleeping in the unactive recharge station.

"Damn! Never thought that sinister hare would get the jump on us!" Foxy groaned, struggling against an endo. Roxanne just avoided one of Vanny's lunging jabs before, briefly snarling, grabbed onto her arm and threw her backwards. But Vanny was able to land on her feet before facing her once more.

"You CAN'T beat me! You're nothing!"

Roxanne growled, turning around just as Vanny came for another attack. But Roxanne met her head on and surprised her, getting a chance to swiftly knock the knife from her grip and kicked her, sending her sliding backwards. She then lunged again and managed to tackle into Vanny, causing them to collide with a pile of cardboard boxes.

"Say that AFTER you de-clawed me, filthy RODENT!" the wolf yelled. A fierce fight broke out between the two soon after as Vanny broke away and the two began throwing jabs and kicks at one another. Their movements were almost near simultaneous as they had somehow managed to parry or dodge the other. At the same time, Foxy managed to outwit an endoskeleton before slashing at it with his sword. Though it missed the neck, it was able to cut the wires connecting its arm and caused it to flop off.

"Ha! Looks like yer "un-ARMED" there, feller! Care ta surrender?!" he replied. However, the remaining endos suddenly came charging at him all at once. They eventually tackled Foxy over and had him pinned beneath their bodies.

"AAAAAHHHHHH! R-Roxy! Lend me a HAND over 'ere!" he yowled. But Roxanne was too busy fighting with Vanny to have noticed the fox's plea for help. However, that did not seem to stop the slumbering Monty to begin stirring from all the noise. His eyes slowly opened as his processors needed time to realize what was happening. Once he became aware, Vanny and Roxy's fighting happened to cross paths with the front of his pod. This gave him enough time to punch clean through the glass, socking Vanny's face at the same time. Roxy gasped as Vanny skidded across the ground.

"Oi! No one gets to lay a PAW on my friend and gets away with it!" the croc roared. A bit dazed, Vanny slowly sat herself upright and looked shocked at Monty glaring angrily back at her. Using his raw strength, he began to punch away at the door. Each blow left a dent in the door before one last strike sent the door flying off, breaking the lock and launched the door at one of the endoskeletons. His mere presence surprised them and halted their assault on Foxy, giving him a chance to slip out enough to see the gator's face boiling over with anger.

"About time you woke up, stupid gator!" Roxy jokingly teased. Blowing steam from his nose, Monty erupted into a loud roar and came charging like a bull at the endoskeletons.

~ West Arcade - Music Man Tunnels ~

Gregory was still in Music Man's hands as the large spider was now crawling through the multitude of tunnels connecting around the arcade. From the inside, they were all faintly lit with small lights.

"L-Let me go!" the boy yelled. Music Man's eyes glanced at him before the Glitch laughed.

"NOT A CHANCE, KID! I'M TAKING YOU FOR A RIDE!"

The animatronic begun to speed up as Gregory watched in shock at everything whooshing past him. Their trail eventually led to another section of the arcade, but looking down showed Vanessa still on their trail, having knowledge of the layout of DJ Music Man's tunnels.

"Gregory! Are you okay up there?! Hang on! I'll find someway to free you!" she yelled in a panic. But the boy did not have a chance to respond as Music Man crawled down another tunnel. Now inside the tunnel, something begun to happen as Music Man's head started to rattle, almost as if someone was interfering with his signal.

"OH, WHAT NOW?!"

Gregory watched in shock as one of Music Man's glowing eyes changed color from green to purple and they "faced one another", giving him a cross-eyed look. This did not stop the animatronic's movement though.


"Glitchtrap! You IMBECILIC jumbled mess of coding! What do you think you're DOING?!"

"HEY! LANGUAGE, WILLIE! HOW'D YOU EVEN KNOW I WAS HERE?"

"How? Because the security cameras are watching your EVERY MOVE! That's why you dunce! I demand you let the boy go before your recklessness ends up KILLING HIM!"

"BUTT OUT! I'M TRYING TO HAVE AS MUCH FUN WITH HIM AS YOU ARE!"

"We need him ALIVE! Or did you forget THAT part when you hijacked the mind of this oversized spider?!"

"YOU EXPECT ME TO JUST SIT ON THE SIDELINES ALL THE TIME?! IT'S CLEAR YOUR METHODS ARE GONNA END UP BLOWING UP IN THE END! JUST LIKE THAT REJECT MONTY YOU MADE!"


While they continued to argue, both their voices were being projected out of Music Man's mouth, giving Gregory easy access to their debate.

"Wait….Afton wants me "alive"? Then what's the point of sicking the other animatronics on me earlier?" he thought, attempting to put things together. Just then, he felt a strange surge come over him. He begun seeing hallucinations again, similar to before, but they seemed to be manifestations coming from DJ Music Man's body.

H-Help…me….I….can't control myself…

Gregory lightly gasped, wondering if the words were the remnants of Music Man's mind. He looked up the animatronic's body at the mini robots still jacked into his outer shell. He lightly nodded before turning his attention back to the main robot.

"O-Okay….I think I know what might be messing you up. But…I need a little wiggle room here. Can you open your hand enough for me to get out?" Gregory thought, attempting to respond to the voice. To his surprise, Music Man's hand begun to slowly open almost on cue. And neither Afton or Glitchtrap seemed to notice. It then slowly raised itself up onto his back, letting Gregory slide off.

D-Do what…you gotta do….superstar…

In an effort to try and help, Music Man begun attempting to fight against their control and slowed down his movements as to not throw Gregory off. Acting quick, he fished around in his backpack and brought out the Fazer Blaster he won earlier. He then checked the charge gauge to see it was a full bar.

"All right…time to pick off a few parasites." he thought. But sure enough, Glitchtrap caught notice of the animatronic's speed decrease.

"W-WHAT'S GOING ON HERE?! I…I DON'T HAVE FULL CONTROL ANYMORE! SOMETHING'S…CAUSING ME TO LOSE MY GRIP!"

With a single blast at each of their eyes, the strength of the Fazer Blast seemed to do the trick as they caused the mini monsters to lose their grip and seemingly plop off like flies. The first one landed on the floor of the tunnel before one of Music Man's hands crushed it. Gregory had shot off another one by the time they were nearing the exit of their current tunnel. They looked down to see they were on the highest floor of the arcade and, like before, Vanessa was on the floor below him.

"G-Gregory! Jump down! I'll catch you!" she proclaimed, throwing her arms out.

"J-Just a sec, Vanessa! I think I'm helping DJ regain control of himself!" he replied. But he soon found himself almost sliding off the animatronic spider as his footing gave out. The boy let out a loud shriek before able to cling onto one of Music Man's limbs in his fall, albeit dangling for his life. Vanessa gasped.

"GREGORY!" she screamed. On DJ Music Man, the other miniature robots suddenly swerved their heads at him. They each had green eyes, signaling Gregory that they were feeding back to Glitchtrap.

"WHAT?! HEY! WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING?! STOP IT!"

The boy responded by affirming his grip on the blaster and quickly fired back, picking off another of the mechanical pests. It came falling hard to the ground, landing around Vanessa. Glitchtrap's voice snarled.

"THAT'S IT! YOU ARE HEREBY EJECTED FROM THIS RIDE!"

He regained control enough to jostle Gregory's grip off him and sent the boy soaring backwards, his backpack close to flying off him. Vanessa watched in utter horror. But he did not seem entirely phased, keeping his hands firmly on his blaster.

"Hey! Glitch!" he proclaimed, getting the eyes of the mini robots "If you want a body so bad, have numbskull AFTON build you one!" He then opened fire as quickly as he could, sending a barrage of laser shots at each of the remaining robots. To his surprise, most of them hit their mark dead on and caused the remaining ones to power down and plop off, both Afton and Glitchtrap starting to lose their grip.


"NOOOOOO!"
"NOOOOOO!"


Their voices suddenly glitched out at the exact same time DJ Music Man came to a complete stop. Vanessa hurried to try and get beneath Gregory as he fell, panic still plaguing her face. But Music Man had successfully regained control in time to put his hand back out and catch him. He partially bounced as he landed on his palm, looking up to see DJ Music Man's face free of manipulation.

"Thanks a bunch, Superstar! You helped me get that infectious tune out of my head." he replied. Gregory was dead silent until he suddenly burst into a full blown laugh, Music Man laughing alongside him.

"N-No prob! I know what it's like to have a song stuck in your head! Hopefully you'll forget the lyrics to that one!" he replied, still laughing. Vanessa heavily sighed as the fear faded from her face, wiping the sweat from her brow.

"You crazy kid….keep this up and I don't think it'll be AFTON that ends up killing you. It'll be your own recklessness." she thought, lightly shaking her head with relief. Music Man begun crawling down towards the floor below, low enough to drop off Gregory. Once he was safely on the ground, Vanessa hurried over and threw her arms around him. He lightly gasped, feeling the pressure of her hug as her hand nestled the back of his head. It was evident enough that she was still reeling from everything as Gregory looked down with a hint of depression.

"Sorry…" he said softly. Vanessa simply rocked her head a bit.

"I-It's okay. You…did what you could…to help. Just….don't scare me like that again….okay? " she replied, Gregory able to make out the motherly emotion behind her words. He then hugged her back.

"Okay…" he muttered. Nearby, Freddy had just arrived before stopping to watch the emotional scene play out before him, unable to stop himself from smiling as well.
