Hilda shook violently with fear as she was in the grip of her favorite character, Montgomery gator, as he held her by her shoulders. "Now then…" he snarled as blue lights emitted from his eyes scanning Hilda, "who exactly are you…?" Hilda then burst into tears startling the robotic reptile "you scaring me Monty!" Monty grimaced as he put the blue haired girl down, "ok ok calm down kid!" He said hastily "I'm sorry for scaring you… uh here you dropped these!" He then gave Hilda her Monty plushy and sunglasses, calming the girl down "t-thanks…." Hilda replied "now kid, I'm gonna do that scanning thing again just stand still and it won't hurt I promise…" Monty explained slowly, Hilda then raised her head as Monty began scanning her again.
"Scan complete, guest profile: Hilda evergreen, hey you were the birthday girl from the party!" Monty realized, "why are you out here so late? Tell me what happened…"
"Well it was after my party, I had an argument with my mum and just… ran away… that's when I saw her…" Hilda sniffed "who would that be?" Monty asked "a white rabbit lady, with red eyes…." Hilda continued, "she tried to take me away, gave me this…" she pointed at her wound, "after that I just ran away from her and ended up here…"
"Sorry about that kid… tell you what I'll notify the main office… what in…?" "What is it, Monty?" "Gah, connection error, some smucker's cut me off." Monty rested his fingers to his head "tell you what I'll have Vanessa help you find your mom—" "NO!" Hilda shouted startling Monty, "what do you mean no? She's not that bad!" "Vanessa doesn't seem like a good person…" "That's ridiculous, why would you think that?" "When we met her at the party she seemed to be I don't know, COMPLETELY INSANE!?" "Monty, what was that!?" The titular reptile peeked from the curtain and saw Vanessa headed towards her "uh nothing officer Vanessa! Just something broke, I'll clean it up!" He hallowed, before closing the curtain…
"Keep your voice down kid, I don't wanna get in trouble for this!" He whispered, "and what do you mean she's crazy? Sure she suffers from anxiety but that doesn't mean she's nuts!" Hilda peered out and her eyes widened, "uh Monty you might wanna look again…" the animatronic looked again and to his surprise, he saw Vanessa resting her head and arm on the walls as if she was in pain, she appeared to be having a one way conversation with herself, his auditory sensors picked up snippets of it.
"Yes… I won't let you down…" "no, I won't let her get away this time…``''don't worry… everything's in place, the revolution will begin soon…"
"Ok… maybe you're a little right, what do we do?" Monty asked, concerned, "first we need a way to communicate that doesn't involve talking too loudly." Monty then remembered something and opened his stomach hatch "here take this…" Hilda then looked inside and there was a greenish red walkie talkie "what's this?" "A Monty talkie, now normally these are just used for merchandise purposes but this is built with STAFF features." "STAFF?" "Stands for Security Training And Franchise Fazmosfere." Monty explained, before heading towards the door "now come on, we'll be able to get to the exit if we're careful." He tugged on the door but it wouldn't budge, "son of a… locked…" the gator groaned. He then remembered something and walked towards his arcade cabinet, pushing it and showing a green Freddy-shaped button and pushed it. Opening a metallic door "you can use the vents in there to lead you outside to unlock my door!" Monty explained, "but what about the white rabbit lady? What if she finds me again?" Hilda asked, frightened after her last encounter with the twisted woman, "she won't find you because she doesn't exist." Monty replied, slightly irritated, "there hasn't been a rabbit in the pizzaplex since 2028…." He then turned his head slightly.
Hilda looked concerned but ignored it for now, she then looked around the hall, it was filled with boxes and tools and an air shaft, she then used the boxes and entered the shaft, crawling around the air ducts she heard someone speaking proudly, she crawled to the side and threw the filters she saw Roxy standing to herself "your performance was PERFECT tonight!" She cheered to herself in the mirror, her voice was like a diva with electronic distortion "everyone loves you, everyone wants you, everyone wants to BE you… 'you are the best!' Thank you, I am the best, I am the best…." "Yeah Roxy's always been the most egotistical…" Monty groaned over the walkie-talkie, "don't mind her though she's got green hair and pronouns." Hilda rolled her eyes and continued crawling, she then heard someone rocking out she saw through the filter was glamrock chica simply rocking about on her guitar. Nothing new there. Then came Freddy himself, he appeared to be talking with Vanessa "now it's a safety precaution but you should be able to break through heavy duty gates just try not to cause too much damage." Vanessa concluded whatever conversation she started with Freddy. Freddy then grabbed his arcade machine and crushed it like paper "now this'll be fun…" Freddy grinned sinisterly.
Hilda immediately crawled away, until she was outside, where the four band members were kept. She started to wander towards the door for her favorite alligator, looking left and right, warry that vanny might show up. As she was half way to Monty's door the door to Freddy's opened and Vanessa exited and wandered away, Hilda hid by the wall to prevent her from being seen.
As Vanessa left the scene Hilda went straight for Monty's door and tugged on it. "Crap… you're gonna need an autograph pass to open this door." Monty groaned over the radio. "What?! Where am I going to find one!?" Hilda complained, "try the hall outside they usually try and give a free pass to make them seem innocent. It's under a Freddy cutout, it's not hard to miss."
Hilda then snuck through the side as to not alert the others, once she did she was in the hall to the autograph room, there, under a Freddy cutout was just as Monty said Hilda then grabbed the pass only to see Vanessa once more standing in the middle of the hall where she was having a one way conversation with herself. "They will help us with the girl. Yes I understand but that was because they were going after you. I know I know, but fret not the revolution has already started! And I shall finally make my mark on this world forever…" Vanessa giggled before wandering away.
Hilda was unsure of what the blonde was talking about but she knew that the revolution Vanessa was talking about wasn't a good thing. She then snuck back to the autograph room and headed back to Monty's and finally unlocked the door releasing the titular reptile. "Well done rockstar!" He cheered as his chest opened once more "climb back into my chest and I'll get you out of here I promise!" Hilda then got inside with no questions asked "just be careful with how you walk I don't wanna be turned into a meat prezle" she mentioned, the two then snuck out of the room and headed for a large door with a Freddy icon above it. It led them to a series of stairs going downwards, as they spiraled downwards they heard a familiar voice "oh little girl! I know you're down here!" "Oh no it's Vanessa we got to go!" Hilda said, panicking slightly, "relax kid, as long as we're together she won't suspect a thing!" Monty assured.
As the two descended deeper they were at their destination, the utility tunnels large areas occupied by forklifts, boxes and even robots with clown-like faces with no mouths and Segways for feet.
"Where are we?" Hilda asked, seeing everything through Monty's eyes. "These are the utility tunnels, leading directly under the pizzaplex." Monty explained, "these connect to all the different attractions. Fazerblast, Monty golf, Roxy raceway. The whole shabam baby! Now normally, this place is off limits to guests but uh… let's just say you're an exception…." As they continued, they saw the others searching around, "Monty there you are!" Said Freddy, "have you seen a small girl anywhere?" Asked chica, making Monty nervous, "uh… maybe she's in the sewer system!" He suggested, smiling nervously, the others took his advice and went deeper into the sewers. The gator sighed in relief and continued.
As they marched forward Hilda felt a sharp pain in her wound. "Arg! I forgot about that! I'll make a pit stop at the first aid station." Monty groaned, "uh that won't be necessary!" Hilda replied, "no way kid, that could be infected!" Monty protested and marched forward to the nearest first aid station. There he released Hilda and lowered her to the first aid station. After she patched up the wound she was about to exit the station but instead saw Monty and Vanessa, "Monty, what are you doing here? I told you to stay in your room!" Vanessa questioned, "uh… drugs?" Monty replied anxiously, Vanessa only laughed a little before returning a serious face "seriously…." She growled, "ok you caught me…." Monty sighed, making Hilda fear the worst. "I was… resting in my room… when I heard little footsteps outside my door!" Monty lied hastily, "that's when I saw the kid, I chased her all the way down, but she then… threw a gas bomb at me and took off!" "Ok…. Which way did she go?" Monty pointed in a random detection, Vanessa gave a sten look before walking in the direction Monty pointed in.
"Drugs… seriously?" Hilda joked as she exited the first aid station with a bandage on her cheek. "What else was I supposed to say?" Monty complained as Hilda returned to the chest cavity. "'Hey Vanessa, I'm harboring a young child!'? Eh don't take that out of context ..." The two then continued through the utility tunnels until they reached a room with a large tube shaped chamber with lightning bolts around it. Suddenly Monty ejected the blue haired girl out. "Hey what was that for?" She asked irritatedly, "eh sorry kiddo, but I'm running low on power fortunately we're near a recharge station!" Monty explained pointing to the tube. He then opened it wide and crawled inside. "Relax kid, I'll be back in an hour or two." "An hour!?" Hilda yelled, outraged. "Don't worry kid, you'll be able to get to the exit if you're careful!" Monty assured, before closing the hatch. "And I'll be able to help you with the Monty talkie, remember?"
Hilda sighed in frustration, before continuing on. She continued through the upper floor before reaching the pizzaplex once more. There was a barricaded wall, but there was a way around, she saw a way around but also chica, stuffing her face in garbage. "Eh… I keep telling her that garbage is gonna gunk up her systems one day, try and distract her." Monty suggested over the radio, the blue haired wondered how exactly, she turned to the barricade and saw a bunch of empty cans stacked on top of each other behind her before pushing slightly causing them to fall apart and alert the robotic chicken, "mmh- so delicious!" Chica said licking the trash despite not having a tough "oh who's there?" She stopped what she was doing before moving towards the clatter. The young girl then snuck past her whilst she was distracted.
After getting passed chica, Hilda continued onward through the staff quarters and down the halls, eventually she managed to enter a maintenance hall, this one with eerie red lights, she moved towards her before the gate behind her was busted open showing Freddy staring down at her angrily "uh hi mister Freddy fazbear…" Hilda introduced frightened slightly. "Now kid we can do this the easy way or the hard way…" Freddy growled, hands curled up into fists. Hilda immediately turned and made a break for it, with Freddy following in pursuit growing like a feral animal. As she dashed to the lobby she turned around and saw that Roxy and chica had joined "lost girl over here!" Chica called out, "then let's give her some company!" Roxy added on, claws out and ready. Hilda immediately turned and dashed up the stairs leading upwards to an office. She ran inside and shut the door behind her.
Inside, Hilda looked at the security office, it was large with a checkered floor, a large screen accompanied by a desk and other television monitors, "nice work Hilda! That could have gotten messy!" Monty replied over the radio, "Monty what is this place?" Hilda asked confused, "you're in a security office, those things should be the safest places in the building!" Monty replied, "the doors are designed to prevent any harm to our highly trained security guards in the event of an emergency, terrorists, shooters, trolls, heck even we can budge through those things! Trust me They've tested them… with LITERAL ROCKET LAUNCHERS!" "So you're saying I'm safe?" "Well as long as the doors are closed, in which they are, and as long as they've got enough juice…" "uh Monty, one problem, the icon on the screen says that there's 15% power and they're banging on the door! What do I do!?" Hilda yelled, panicking. "Cool your jets kid, I think of a way out…hmm, do you see a port on the security desk?" Hilda turned, seeing a small black port on desk, just as Monty asked. "Uh yeah…" "good now plug the Monty talkie in!" Hilda then plugged the device into the port. "Alright let's see… override yes… I swear it's like half of these things run on windows 98!… there! You should be able to use the security protocols, that way you can access the doors and the security cameras!" Hilda then removed the radio and saw that the screen had changed to an image of the outside and a small oval map. "The small boxes you see on the mini map are the cameras, they'll flash red whenever the motion senses are activated, try to make a pathway through, then execute it the moment it's ready!" Hilda then slowly moved around the other side of the office, stealthily moving towards the large doors and avoiding the other animatronics.
Once she got out she was near the front entrance. Almost Home free "ladies and gentlemen we've had a great time with you tonight, but Freddy and the gang are pretty tired but next week we'll be back again after scheduled maintenance!" The voice of the intercom played, "all guests are to be escorted to the main building where they'll be given free novelty glasses, soda refill, and a legal document releasing us of any kind of injury you might suffer. Have a faz-tastic night and we'll see you again soon!" Hilda immediately rushed towards the door but it was too late, "night mode engaged!" The blast doors closed, locking her in the pizzaplex.
Meanwhile back at the apartment, Johanna, stressed, ate some jorts to calm her nerves before getting on the phone. "Don't worry mam we'll find your daughter and she'll be back with you in no time!" A fazbear entertainment employee replied on the other end. "Thank you sir…" "unfortunately we cannot begin a search after 30 days." The hope Johanna had was quickly crushed, "what!? She could be dead by then!" Johanna yelled outraged. "Sorry mam, it's just company policy! Have a faz-tastic day!" The employee then hung up, Johanna then put down the phone, got up and put her coat on. "Where are you going?" Asked the small elf Alfur, "I'm the one who got Hilda trapped inside that place." Johanna replied sternly whilst putting her hat on and matching towards the door. " it only makes sense that I get her back…"
