The time was now 6 am as the sun slowly begun to rise over the eastern edge of the city, casting a small but widespread ray of light upon the grounds outside the entrance to Freddy Fazbear's Mega Pizzaplex. And thanks to Gregory managing to reach out, there were a group of police cars at the scenes along with a pair of firetrucks and ambulance on standby. The officers made their way to the front doors, waiting for the shutters to open. Just then, another car appeared on the scene which did not draw everyone's attention. But in the case of the police, they decided to manually open the doors with force. But when one of the officers attempted to pry a crowbar under the door, he was met with a brief electrical shock, making him fumble backwards while dropping the bar. They soon heard a digitized, malicious laughter coming from the speakers outside. Though they did not know it, this was a precaution left by the malicious Glitchtrap whose laughter played on loop.

As his laugh continued to play, the inside of the Pizzaplex was in an array of partial destruction caused by the events that plagued Gregory all night. Broken staff bots laid across the ground, including the decomissioned bodies of the imposter animatronics built by Afton. As the sun begun to seep through the windows, everyone's attention was currently focused upon the massive crater left behind by Gregory's battle with Afton, the two now deep underground….


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

THE GRAND FINALE: Afton's Final Breath! Time to Go Home, Gregory


~ 6:00 am | Somewhere Deep Below the Pizzaplex ~

At the very bottom of the crater left behind, large chunks of floor and roofing laid scattered across the ruined remains of a room further below the Mega Pizzaplex. Fire had broken out as the flames continued fanning among the rubble and electronics spurt sparks from their broken parts. In the far corner of the room, having surprisingly survived the entirety of the fall, was Freddy's gravely wounded animatronic body. His eyes shut and limbs now fallen to disarray, something was still fighting from within his chest compartment to get free. With one strong kick, Gregory managed to escape and fumbled outwards, heavily panting while he slowly opened his eyes and surveyed the area. The Freddy doll he was holding onto still rested within his chest.

"W-Where…are we?" he asked. He quickly brought up his Fazwatch, seeing if he could call Vanessa. But it appears the fall had damaged the watch as well. He lightly groaned, taking it off his arm and throwing it into the rubble. But shortly after, he turned back to see Freddy only to look on in horror at the animatronic's bear wounds.

"FREDDY!" he exclaimed, kneeling down to his side. He started to shake the bear's body with all his might.

"Freddy?! C'mon, you big oaf! Open your eyes!" he proclaimed while shaking. The boy started shedding tears as Freddy showed no signs of moving. He looked closer at the animatronic's face, seeing a good majority of it damaged. But, to his surprise, Freddy was seemingly able to force one of his eyes to open. It looked Gregory's way.

"G-G-Greg-gorrryy. A-are…you okay?" he asked. Gregory could easily tell Freddy was nearly on his last legs by the way his voice glitched about. He looked down his damaged arm before he tightly gripped onto his endoskeleton hand. Tears continued down his cheeks.

"Freddy….I'm…so sorry. I didn't mean for you…." he sniffled "You got seriously hurt...because of me!" Despite his wrecked state, Freddy was still able to see the kindness radiating from him. He slowly moved his wounded arm, fighting against the joints locking up, to put it atop his head. Gregory was lightly surprised, looking at his friend.

"A-A-As long as….you are…..o-o-okay….I am….g-g-g-glad." he said. Gregory's sniffles came to a stop, wiping them away before smiling back.

"Come on…let's see if we can't get you up and back to the others. Judging how far we fell, not even AFTON could've…" he said, readying to help Freddy. But before his sentence finished, something broke its way through the chunks of rubble behind them. Freddy was unable to emote but Gregory, upon hearing the rubble move, couldn't help himself from becoming overwhelmed from sheer terror as his pupils shrunk also. The something in question appeared to be the heavily injured but still functional left arm of Afton's body. But so much of the shell broke off that a mostly bare animatronic arm was left.

"No way. It C-C-CAN'T be…" the boy stuttered, slowly looking behind him. At the same time, the wrecked remains of Afton's rabbit body began crawling its way out, much to Gregory's rising fear. His body was as gravely wounded as Freddy's, his massive frame now reduced to a more human-sized skeleton coated with the destroyed parts of his casing. Half of "Glitchtrap's face" remained intact while his other showed the burnt and worn down remains of the original Springtrap suit, his eyes now glowing purple and a human-like jaw exposed. Wires seemed to dangle down from the broken remains of his ears. Gregory and Freddy could not believe the sight they were seeing, panic soon overtaking the boy.

"YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME! WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO KILL THIS FREAK?!" Gregory screamed. Freddy let out a glitchy gasp as Afton started to attempt moving in their direction. His legs were damaged to the point that he could not move in a straight line and wound up fumbling from side to side. One could say he devolved from his new persona and even further beyond the identity of Springtrap, now appearing as a "Burntrap".

Y-Y-YOU….DAMN…CHILD…L-LOOK AT….W-W-WHAT YOU….DID TO M-M-ME!

Gregory tried slowly backing up but tripped over the rubble behind him as Burntrap drew closer.

F-FORGET TAKING OVER YOUR B-BODY! THE ONLY THING….I W-W-WANT NOW IS YOUR L-LIFE! Y-YOU'LL….NEVER S-SEE….THE LIGHT OF D-DAY AGAIN!

While trying to back away, Gregory soon felt something by his hand. Looking down, he saw it was his Fazer Blaster but slightly damaged. All he could believe was that Vanessa must've dropped it in the chaos above and it came down with him. But before he could process more, he heard Burntrap roar and come rushing at him. But quick as a flash, he retaliated with a laser shot to his eye. The scrapped creature howled in agony.

"You may be a monster, Afton, but DON'T think I WON'T stop fighting back!" Gregory shouted. Burntrap shook his head until his vision returned but he came under fire again by Gregory shoot more laser shots into both eyes. He maintained a firm stance while Burntrap was forced backwards.

D-DAMN YOU!

Burntrap suddenly begun charging for Gregory despite being blinded. He was left stunned momentarily until he hurried to get out of the way as the robot lunged his claw hand out, grabbing the blaster and quickly crushed it to parts.

"NO!" Gregory shouted. Burntrap panted while his vision returned, looking at his hand to see the remains of the Fazer Blaster and turned to see Gregory, demonically laughing.

WHAT C-CAN YOU D-D-DO NOW?! WITHOUT Y-YOUR LITTLE TOY?!

Burntrap came on the attack, swiping his damaged claws at him with no hesitation. Gregory frantically moved to avoid each swipe before a sudden counterattack clawed his chest. The plate that Gregory had under his hoodie took the majority while he was knocked down. Gregory was thrown sideways, landing face down in the rubble. But Burntrap waisted no time in grasping the boy's head when he tried to rise.

"N-NO….A-A-AFTON!" Freddy yelled before part of his jaw broke. Still fueled by his anger, Burntrap kept him down while drawing back his other hand.

T-THIS IS WHAT YOU G-G-GET…FOR T-THINKING YOU COULD OUTWIT…W-WILLIAM AFTON!

But before he could lash out, he suddenly heard something descending from above. He looked up and saw Vanessa being lowered down by the Puppet's ghost before breaking free to dive kick Burntrap's face. With that one kick, she successfully downed the beast before rushing to Gregory.

"Gregory! You all right?!" she asked, helping him back on his feet. Black soot partially covered his face from the smoke filling the room.

"V-Vanessa?! How did you…?!" he asked, stopping when he saw the Puppet's spirit. Burntrap forced himself back up and turned his gaze towards both of them angrily. Vanessa was unaware of him as she was tending to Gregory. He took this opportunity to begin channeling an electrical charge into his right hand. The claws on his bladed fingers lit up from the current, emitting a violet glow to them.

"Come on. Let's get you out of here." Vanessa said, eyes still on Gregory. Freddy soon noticed Burntrap drawing closer with his electrified claw drawn back and targeting the security guard. The Puppet's spirit spotted him as well, turning quickly to Freddy. Burntrap now loomed over Vanessa and Gregory. It only took the notice of his shadow to alert the two humans. Vanessa's eyes begun shaking, fearing she had no time to get them to safety. She tightly hugged Gregory while Burntrap grinned.

N-NOW YOU WILL…B-BOTH OF YOU! BUUUURRRRNNNN!

He attacked with lightning fast movement while Vanessa shut her eyes, waiting for the strike. But instead, Freddy's withered body had somehow rose quick enough and threw his arms out in front of them both. Burntrap did not realize what had happened, but his electrified slash had straight up shattered Freddy's entire body and sent his animatronic head flying away along with his other parts. But what the villain had seen was his own claws slashing down on Michael's soul, the reason behind Freddy's movement.

M-MICHAEL…?!

Vanessa's tension eased up and she turned back, seeing parts of Freddy's tattered body on the ground. Gregory moved his head and saw his battered head among the rubble.

"FREDDY!" Gregory screamed, suddenly breaking off Vanessa to hurry to his side. Burntrap remained frozen as Vanessa, still seeing his looming figure, hurried to move away. The boy picked up Freddy's head while tears raced down his face. The slashed Freddy doll sat by his knees, thrown in the same direction as his head.

"No….F-Freddy…..s-say something! Tell me you're still alive! ANYTHING!" he whimpered, shaking his head. Michael's wounded soul floated up towards the Puppet, signaling him to head back for the surface. Gregory was overcome with a pain unlike anything before, having felt his heart shatter at the sight of Freddy's decapitated head. He brought it close to his chest, hugging it tightly. Vanessa looked on from opposite Burntrap.

"Gregory…." she muttered, knowing what he was feeling. Suddenly, Gregory's eyes turned back to Burntrap filled with the same rage he had when he lost sight of Vanessa. Burntrap's head turned towards him as the boy started to take off his pack.

"You….YOU…BASTARD!" Gregory screamed before chucking the contents of his bag, along with the bag itself, straight at Burntrap. It struck against his skull as the items scattered out across the ground.

"YOU TOOK MY BEST FRIEND FROM ME! I…I HATE YOU! I HATE YOU WITH EVERY FIBER OF MY BEING!" he continued screaming. Burntrap begun snarling as the limbs of his body begun shaking. Gregory had no idea what was happening, but from Vanessa's perspective, it appeared Burntrap was somehow absorbing the negative energy emitting from the boy's body and using it as fuel to move. His dark aura begun growing again as he turned straight at Gregory.

THAT…BEAR….W-W-WAS NOTHING MORE….THAN RECYCLABLE S-SCRAP! YOU W-W-WOULD HONESTLY C-CALL A M-MACHINE…YOUR "FRIEND"?!

Gregory's tears continued to flow and his arms still holding Freddy's head tightly. He grit his teeth while looking Burntrap straight in his lifeless eyes.

"HE WAS TO ME! A KID WHO GREW UP WITH NOTHING! I NEVER EVEN KNEW MY PARENTS…NOT THAT YOU'D CARE!" he exclaimed. All Burntrap could reply with was his usual satanic laugh, enraging Vanessa behind him. But unbeknowst to all of them, black tentacle wires begun to move among the rubble. Even Burntrap remained blissfully unaware as it appeared Molten Freddy's head perused through the debris like a shark's dorsal fin. Gregory suddenly noticed.

W-WELL THEN…Y-YOU CAN "THANK" FREDDY…FOR LEADING YOU T-T-TO AN EARLY G-G-GRAVE…

Just then, one of the tentacles begun wrapping itself around Burntrap's left leg, growing upward like a weed. As soon as it reached his knee, the evil rabbit became aware and looked down in shock.

W-WHAT THE…?!

Burntrap swiftly glanced Gregory's way as the boy confidently grinned.

"Yeah...no. I think I'll thank Freddy for giving your "old friend", Henry, enough time to come visit! He's ALL YOURS, HENRY!" he proclaimed. Burntrap gasped.

H-HENRY…?!

His other leg was then entangled before, in a flash, his entire lower half was pulled down and submerged in the rubble. Henry's giant mechanical body then rose up behind Burntrap, the villain slowly turning around. Though it was hard to see, his robotic eyes showed overwhelming fear at Henry looking back at him from Molten Freddy's head and more tentacles begun wrapping around his chest. The animatronic's head then let out a blood thirsty roar.

AAAAFFFFTTTOOONNN!

In a flash, the wires that made up Henry went on a blind rampage to beat and pound every last inch of the monster's body. Burntrap was enveloped in yet another whirlwind of agony as his upper half struggled in vain against Henry's berserk state, the last glimpse of him being his weakened animatronic arms trying to pry back Molten Freddy's razor sharp jaws. What followed was high pitched mechanical noise among with Afton's original voice screaming in pain. From the side, Gregory let out a small smile.

"Consider this...karma...Afftooonnn..." he said, words slurring as he soon succumbed to his exhaustion. Vanessa hurried to Gregory's side and picked him up into her arms, cradling him against her chest while he held Freddy's head. She then stopped to watch the unfolding chaos before her as the Puppet moved towards her.

"Let's get out of here...we've endured long enough." she said softly. Without a word, the Puppet enveloped them in a glowing light and begun carrying them out of the crater's base and up towards the surface. As they were out of sight, all that could be seen moving now was shredded parts of Burntrap's body flying away from the hurricane. Eventually, once the entirety of Burntrap's body was torn apart, the wires that made up Henry's "blob" body began to settle with the lights going out on Molten Freddy's head and the sight of Burntrap's head pointing skywards in agony before, due to a broken neck, cracked to the right side and the last of his ears broke off followed by his lower jaw.

~ 6:05 am | Main Atrium - Pizzeria Floor ~

The Puppet used the last of her strength to safely lift Vanessa and Gregory back to the main atrium floor. The other animatronics became estatic to see them, but looked on with grim expressions at Freddy's head in Gregory's arms. Chica began showing signs of crying, sniffling to herself while Roxy looked her way. Monty heavily sighed and lowered his head, Foxy doing the same as he took off his pirate hat.

"May good ol' Freddy…find peace in the great beyond…" Foxy muttered. Vanessa looked down at Gregory, the boy now passed out in her arms from his overwhelming feelings and lack of sleep. Though his clothing was now battered and beaten, she had a feeling that all his tension and sense of terror had left him. She could hear him lightly snoring in her arms as tears came to her eyes, a smile coming to her face.

Gregory….just look at you. You've been through so much. Much more than anyone your age…should ever have to go through. But here we are, all of us, at the end. Today's a brand new day…so, let me make you a promise. Even if you can't hear me right now, just know….that I will watch over you. I'll protect you from whatever shadows come your way in the future. Let me fill the void in your heart. Let me be...who you call "Mom"…

~ 6:10 am | Outside the Pizzaplex ~

Because of Burntrap being reduced to scrap, Glitchtrap's hold over the shutter system was lifted and the police were now able to open the doors. What everyone outside saw was the likes of a tattered uniformed Vanessa holding Gregory in her arms and the likes of Chica, Foxy, Bonnie, Roxanne and Monty standing alongside her. In Chica's hand was Freddy's tattered head.

"A-Are you both okay?" an officer asked, addressing Vanessa and Gregory. She silently nodded.

"Yes…we.." she said, stopping to correct herself "ALL of us…are just fine." The animatronics looked her way and smiled.

"You're still you….Officer Vanessa." Roxy said. The officers and medics approached Vanessa as the fire fighters ventured inside the Pizzaplex towards the Daycare, the others telling them that would be where they would find the missing kids. And although she was hesitant to let someone take him, Vanessa slowly let the medical staff take Gregory and bring him towards the ambulance for a check up. But before they were too far away, she realized she forgot something as Chica passed her Freddy's head. She hurried to give it to them as he was rested down on a stretcher.

"Please…if I can ask one thing….keep this guy close by. They really bonded over the course of last night. I can't separate them." Vanessa said. The medics remained silent until two looked at one another and lightly nodded. One of them gently took Freddy's head from her.

"We will. Thank you…miss. After we look him over, we'll have to ask you to come with us to the hospital…same for the other children still inside." a female nurse said. Vanessa nodded before she felt a hand on her shoulder. Turning towards the hand led her to be face to face with the current CEO of Fazbear Entertainment, a middle aged man dressed in more casual attire than business. Vanessa gasped at the sight of him.

"W-Wait a second. Are…Are you…?!" she asked. The man nodded.

"Yes. Don't worry, Vanessa. I know who you are too." he said, taking out a business card for her "Charles Willson…head CEO of Fazbear Entertainment." She paused for a moment to look over the card as Charles looked towards the Pizzaplex building.

"Thank you…for keeping the Pizzaplex in one piece. We seem to have had a horrible track record of our older facilities…well…breaking down and collapsing on us." he continued "Looks like I made the right call when I hired you as security guard. And…judging from how you all looked today…I have a feeling that…you ran into "him"." Vanessa lightly gasped.

"Wait. Sir…does that mean…?" she asked. Charles nodded.

"Yes. I know…about William Afton…if THAT's what he still called himself. How do I know?" he asked "Just call it "insider's knowledge" when I tell you….that one of the original co-founders, Henry Emily, is a distant relative of mine." Vanessa gasped while Charles brought out a small picture from his jacket pocket and passed it to her, showing a picture of the Emily family from before Charlotte's death.

"When Fazbear Entertainment suddenly went out of business following the "Fake Pizzeria Incident", I felt something from within me….a feeling in my gut…telling me to invest in them. It's then been my personal mission….to try and lift the "Fazbear Curse" from this place, a family restaurant that had "good reasons" to come into existence." he continued. Vanessa didn't know what to say, merely looking on at Charles in silence. She then heard the fire fighters beginning to emerge from the Pizzaplex with the other kids, Charlie included. She lightly smiled at the sight of all their relieved faces. But soon after, another sound came to her ears, surprising her enough to turn back to Gregory.

Gre….gory…

She saw Freddy's withered head, gently resting alongside him, speaking again and his eyes opening halfway. At the same time, his voice seemed to arouse Gregory enough to look back at him. Both were exhausted beyond belief, the boy only saying one word before passing out again.

Freddyyy….

Vanessa and the medics now saw a smile on Gregory's face, realizing that his "friend" survived the night….

END OF SHIFT

The "night shift" may be over…but this story is not yet finished…
Look forward to the "Superstar Epilogue"
