Gregory's search for the supposedly cursed animatronic parts had led him and his animatronic companions on a long round about trip through the halls of Parts and Service and beyond. They had not been able to find the discarded casings of Bonnie's brute form no matter how far they went or hard they searched, unaware that they were in the clutches of Roxanne's false self roaming the Pizzaplex. On top of that, they also had not seen much from Chica since the escapade with the false version of Monty. Gregory knew their time was running short but, despite this, he continued to keep his spirits up, knowing that he wanted to help them out of his free will. Little did he realize that, in the shadows of the lackluster halls, another animatronic had been stalking them for a while and it gave off a shape sinister to that of the missing member of the Fazbear Band, Chica….


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

Hour 5.4: Is The Search Finally Over? "Chica" Returns?


~ 4:29 am | Maitenance Tunnels ~

Still trekking through the darkened paths beneath the Mega Pizzaplex was Gregory, Roxy and Monty in their mission to awaken the unconscious children. What should have been a simple trip, according to Monty, now became a unnecessary long goose chase as the boy continued riding inside the gator's chest compartment. As they emerged from a nearby tunnel, finding they were in the underground tunnels that connected to the various attractions, Gregory took the time to hop out and stretch his legs.

"You've gotta be kidding me. We went from the service elevator in the main atrium…to the MAITENANCE tunnels?" Monty asked, questionably surveying their surroundings. Roxanne heavily groaned, smacking her hand against the wall.

"Damn it! Bet anything those sneaky rabbits knew we were coming. I wouldn't be surprised if Afton has one of those dirty fakes hoarding the missing parts!" she snarled. Gregory glimpsed between his two friends.

"If that really is the case, then who could it be? Your faker is probably still stalking around Roxy Raceway….but we haven't seen a single sign of Chica in a long time." he said. Roxanne groaned more, bringing her other hand to her face.

"Don't remind me." she sighed. The boys lightly gasped.

"O-Oh. I'm…sorry, Roxy. I…forgot how important finding Chica was to you." the child said. She turned back as Monty lifted his shades.

"Keep your spirits up, Roxanne. I bet you ANYTHING that the "real" Chica has been doing everything she can to reunite with us. She's not that kind of "chicken"…and she definitely ain't running around like she had no plan. We'll find her." he said, attempting to comfort his animatronic friend. Seeing the worry in his gaze, Roxy shed a small smile.

"Thanks…Monty." she said "When it matters, you know what to say to keep things cheerful." While Monty himself cracked a smile, the sounds of animatronic footsteps begun echoing around them. Everyone gasped and quickly turned back, the sound seemingly coming from the tunnel they just came from.

"W-What's that?" Gregory asked "D-Do either of you have night vision like Freddy?" All eyes soon turned to Monty who looked back at them with a baffled expression.

"Don't look at ME!" he proclaimed "I'm not built for this!" The wolf heavily groaned.

"Well, I CAN'T either! If I had my new EYES back…it'd be different!" Roxanne shouted. The sound continued to grow louder as they awaited the sight of their stalker.

"Might as well be ready….in case this is somebody Afton's sicking on us." Monty said, readying his claws. But from the shadows, Roxanne begun to make out a silhouette as it stumbled its way into the light casted above them. What they saw appeared to be a wounded, but still functional Chica stumbling their way. Upon sight of her, both animatronics heavily gasped.

"C-Chica?!" they shouted. Gregory looked on speechless as Chica raised her head, gasping at the sight of them. Unlike before, her eyes were not glowing purple.

"R-Roxanne! Monty! I thought the voices I heard sounded familiar!" she proclaimed, hurrying into the arms of her friends. From the sidelines, Gregory looked on upon the scuffs and dents on her body. Monty soon noticed, backing away to see her.

"Whoa…back up. Chica? W-What happened to you?" he asked. Chica looked down at her wounded body.

"It…was horrible. Somebody came storming into my room while I was practicing and attacked me! Next thing I know, I wake up down here…in the sewage where they dump the garbage." she explained "I have been trying to find my way out of here all night…getting attacked by a bunch of crazy staff bots. W-What is going on?" Monty and Roxanne glimpsed at each other.

"It's kinda hard to explain. But, short version…some psychos dressed up in rabbit outfits overtook the Pizzaplex and sent a bunch of replicas to abduct and replace us." he explained "They're out to sabotage the Pizzaplex and harm innocent kids while they're at it." Chica heavily gasped.

"N-No way…..why?" she asked "What did we do to them?" Gregory shook his head, quickly gaining Chica's attention.

"Most likely nothing…seeing that's how Afton likes to play." he continued. Chica lightly tilted her head upon the sight of Gregory.

"Wait. Who…are you?" she asked.

"My name's Gregory. I was brought here by Afton as well." he explained, extending his hand "So far, I've been keeping myself busy. Freddy's been watching over me as the two of us, the security guard also, have been trying to find you guys." Hesitating at first, Chica slowly accepted Gregory's handshake. But shortly after, she gasped again.

"Oh…Oh crud! I almost forgot!" she proclaimed, surprising Gregory "You guys! You won't believe me…but I remember seeing Vanessa! She was in horrible shape, like someone attacked her!" The gator heavily gasped with Gregory following after.

"Wait! Vanessa's here too?!" Gregory asked "W-Which way?!" Chica begun looking around her, trying to gauge her position, before pointing up ahead of them.

"If my memory of the maitenance tunnels is right…I think there's a path ahead of us that should lead back there. Come on! We gotta help her!" she explained. Monty nodded, telling Chica to lead the way, before hurrying off with her and Gregory. Roxanne surprisingly stayed behind for a brief moment before joining in the pack.

~ 4:33 am | Kid's Cove - Play Floor ~

Returning to Kid's Cove up above, Freddy had just re-emerged from the recharge station before looking over the unconscious children and later Charlie sitting with Bonnie and Foxy. He then glanced up at the clock over one of the doors, easily reading the current time.

"We are almost there….Gregory. Just a little more than an hour left…and you'll be safe. For good." he muttered. He soon felt someone tapping his shoulder, turning around to see Sir Grizz.

"Arr….pardon me, Fredbear. But…are ye thinking about the boy per chance?" he asked. Freddy lightly shook his head, letting out a hefty sigh.

"Is it that obvious? I…cannot help but worry about Gregory…especially now. We've been through so much tonight. But…above anything else, I want to make sure he lives to see the sun again." he explained. Sir Grizz looked down, slowly removing his cap.

"Aye…I hope the lil' one is doing okay. Tis been a while since he, the gator and Roxy lass joined him in going down below." he said. A realization seemed to hit Freddy as he looked back at the clock once more.

"Sir Grizz? What time, exactly, did Gregory leave with the others?" he asked, eyeing the clock with a worried look. Grizz lightly scratched his head.

"Uhhh….bah. It escapes me right now." he replied "Cap'n! What time was it since the lad went off with the others?" Foxy quickly turned his way.

"Huh? I believe it was….quarter past four, Sir Grizz." he answered. Without warning, Freddy let out a gasp.

"If they haven't come back yet….then something must've happened to them! Gregory could be in SERIOUS TROUBLE!" Freddy proclaimed, surprising everyone else around him. Sensing the same thing as the bear, Foxy quickly hurried to his side before casting his hook at Grizz and Rogers.

"Men! Stay here and look after the other buccaneers! I'll be joinin' Fazbear in goin' to search" he shouted "He's right! Been TOO long since both he AND Vanessa left us….meaning those blasted hares could've gotten to them!" He then bolted towards the shutter door and begun trying to open it as Freddy still remained fixated on the clock.

"Vanessa….Gregory….please be safe." the bear thought.

~ 4:35 am | Garbage Dump - Sewers ~

At the same time, Chica had led Gregory, Roxanne and Monty to the site of where she last saw Vanessa, the large and putrid smelling lot that was the garbage collected from the Pizzaplex and tossed down the garbage chutes. Mountains of the rubbish filled the area around them as they just arrived from the mouth of a tunnel. While they went further inside, Gregory came to a stop when he noticed a strange little doll situated among the garbage piles. Kneeling down to get a better look, he saw the doll was of a strange black furred variant of Freddy but with a gold star on his chest and a bright red hat atop his head.

"Huh….must be old merchandise. Guess its true that whatever doesn't sell ends up junked." he said, picking it up. Seeing as there was no harm, he safely tucked it away in his backpack, placed alongside the Freddy doll that kept his tracking device safe. Meanwhile, Monty and Chica were perusing the garbage piles for any sign of the wounded Vanessa.

"Hey! Chica! Where'd you see her?! There's so much junk down here that I can't make heads or tails of anything!" the gator shouted. Chica surprisingly stayed silent, still digging through the garbage before her.

"I…I don't remember! But keep looking, Monty! She wasn't in great shape when I saw her!" she proclaimed. Gregory hurried to rejoin Roxanne who was quietly observing from the side as her friends dug. The boy soon noticed and looked up to her.

"Hey….Roxy? Why aren't you helping out?" he asked. She momentarily glanced at him before approaching Chica.

"Chica! Hold up a sec. Can I ask you something?" Roxy asked, stopping by the base of the trash pile she was digging from. The animatronic bird looked down at her friend with arms crossed, sliding back down to her.

"W-What is it, Roxanne? Whatever it is, it'll have to wait until…" she said. But Roxy suddenly leaned in closely towards her, startling her momentarily.

"Why haven't you called me "Roxy" since we met up?" she asked, eyes narrowing. The commotion prompted Monty to stop, glaring over his shoulder.

"H-Huh? What are you talking about?" Chica asked. Monty hurried to join them as Roxy continued her confrontation with her friend.

"Out of everyone here in the Pizzaplex, aside from Freddy and Vanessa, YOU are the only one who always called me "Roxy", no matter what. In fact, the day you came to join the band….you never stopped calling me that." Roxy continued "I got used to the name because YOU said it was a "sign of friendship" between us. And….in time, I grew to like it…letting it slide. You have hardly ever used my full name." Gregory curiously watched Roxy as did Monty.

"Also….last I checked, Vanessa is supposed to be upstairs watching the kids we just rescued from a room not too far from here. Foxy is up there with her…same as Bonnie." she said "So why did she suddenly decide to come down to the dump AND wind up as injured as you made her out to be? In fact, why did you LIE when you said WHERE you got attacked?" The bird slowly begun to back away, a look of unease and worry coming over her.

"Roxy? What's…?" Monty asked before she put a finger against his mouth.

"When Vanessa came to us to ask for help finding Gregory….you told everyone you were going to check the pizzeria while Monty said he had to get something from his room. I specifically said I would go and check out the main entrance, thinking he already was trying to leave. That means you COULDN'T have been in your room when the "fake version" of yourself came in and attacked." she continued, suddenly pointing a finger in her face "Unless you ARE Chica's fake! Then you could've tried to make up whatever little lie you wanted…right?" Chica was left speechless, looking around at the others all eyeing her with Roxanne. Everything the wolf had said suddenly clicked with Gregory, the boy gasping when he put it all together.

"Y-Yeah….Roxy! You're right!" he shouted. Monty looked on at Chica, expecting some kind of response from her. But after a heavy silence fell over them all, the animatronic bird began to giggle in a malicious tone, causing Roxy's eyes to narrow. The pitch of her voice began to change, pixelating from her normal self to a mix of hers and Glitchtrap.

"Looks like I was wrong. You're far SMARTER than I gave you credit for….miss "big bad wolf"." she said, narrowing her eyes until her pupils became slits. Gregory and Monty gasped.

"Y-You ARE Chica's fake!" Gregory shouted. Monty let out a ferocious growl, hands clenching into fists.

"WHERE'S OUR FRIEND, YOU CROW IN CHICKEN FEATHERS?!" he exclaimed. Fake Chica continued to laugh, growing more unhinged the longer it went. Roxy begun to growl, readying herself for a fight, before the fake suddenly thrusted her head towards the group.

"I'm afraid it's pointless to tell you….especially when THIS will be the place in which you ALL DIE!" she shrieked. What followed was the fake Chica letting out the same ear piercing shriek she did earlier that evening as, not only was her head beginning to spin around in a clockwise rotation, but compartments hidden on her side suddenly opened. From each side grew a pair of thin, spider like limbs as sharp feather-like metal emerged from her arms. As she rose up into the air because of her new appendages, her eyes transformed into the same colors as Fake Monty when his cover was blown. The tips of her "feathers", feet and beak radiated a dark purple color before she burst into a hysterical, maniacal laugh. One look at her had Gregory frozen in place, eyes widening from fear.

"WHAT is up with these freakish changes Afton gave these guys?! And WHY spider legs?!" he shouted. Fake Chica, now sporting a corrupted vocal tone, eyed Gregory.

"WHAT'S WRONG? DON'T YOU LIKE MY NEW LOOK?! YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO COMPLIMENT A LADY WHEN SHE PUTS THIS MUCH EFFORT INTO HER APPEARANCE!" she yelled "AFTER ALL, IT'S ALL FOR YOU GREGORY!" Roxanne growled again, putting her arm out in front of Gregory.

"She used Chica's voice box to fool us into coming here!" she thought "And here I was hoping that we found her at last!" Monty slowly begun backing up with Gregory.

"Uhhh….Gregster? I think it's about time we BOOK IT!" he shouted. They wasted no time in rushing back the way they came in. But they soon found the doorway had suddenly closed as metal bars blocked their way. Fake Chica begun to close the gap, heading straight for them with a look of utter insanity on her face, as they turned back.

"Monty! Take the kid and find another way out! Leave the poser to me!" Roxy shouted, shoving Gregory his way before catching one of the spider limbs thrusted at her "Just….get him somewhere safe!" The gator nodded before, with Gregory firmly in his arms, dashing towards the other side. They were being tracked, however, by the twisted Chica rotating her head like an owl. She quickly broke Roxy's grip on her before lashing out again, knocking the wolf to the ground.

"AND WHERE DO YOU THINK YOU'RE GOING?!" Fake Chica proclaimed before giving chase after Monty.
