And as I said, this time we'll focus on events from JSDF High School. Events in this and few following chapters will take place after the failed offensive over Fulda Gap, some time after 4th School Fleet left Europe for Egypt.

So, without further extending.

JDS Isoroku Yamamoto, Bar&Grill

Sakamot and Takei were sitting in Bar&Grill, eating some hamburgers and drink cola. Although it's been almost a week since the failure over Fulda Gap, bad mood on the ship was still visible. There was not so much talks as always and frustration was clearly visible on everyone's faces.

Takei noticed the same on Sakamoto's face.

"You're all still about that?"she asked.

Sakamoto nodded.

"Sure. This offensive had to finally break Chinese resistance in Europe, open our way to Berlin and after Berlin, take Moscow and fully liberate Europe"She shook her head"And it turned out to be a failure."

Witch then put her hands on sides of her head and supported it on her elbows.

"To it, we lost Kotaro, which completely devastated Misaka. It could be only worse"she said.

"Hey, it's not your fault"Takei tried to calm Sakamoto down.

"I know, but…Hell, since we arrived here, it was the first operation we failed"Sakamoto replied.

She took sip of cola and again looked at Takei.

"Anyway. Now, I have to take care of not failing more".

Takei tilted her head after hearing that.
"I'm sure it's gonna be easy for you?"she asked.

"I don't know. We'll live, we'll see"her friend replied.

"But I'm sure about one thing. With your command, this squadron will surely become the best in this war".

Sakamoto just threw up her arms.

She drunk her cola and ate her hamburger.

"Anyway. See you later."

"You know? My room is actually on the way to the elevator. We can walk there together"Takei proposed.

Sakamoto threw up her arms.

"Okay. It's okay with me"she said.

Takei then ate and drunk everything too. They then left the Bar&Grill.

15:57

Deck 4 corridor

As they were walking down the corridor, they were talking about things, that interested Mio the most.

"And by the way. How is it in our world?"she asked.

"Not as bad as you could think"Takei replied"Damage you already done to Neuroi is done and they can't bounce back. They're loosing several fights everyday."

"Good to hear it"Sakamoto agreed.

Right then, as they were walking down the corridor, they passed by Osamu's room.

"Maybe we'll see what Osamu's doing?"Sakamoto proposed.

"Why not?"Takei replied.

Two Witches stopped and looked inside. They saw Osamu sitting in front of his computer and playing a game on it.

"What are you doing?"Sakamoto asked.

Osamu paused the game and turned around.

"Nothing special, boss"he replied"Just playing some FNAF".

"Playing…what?"Takei asked.

"Sit down"Osamu said, pointing at his bed.

Witches did what he said and sat down on the bed. Osamu turned around and unpaused the game.

"I play Five Nights at Freddy's"he explained"It's a game, where as nigh security guard, you have to survive several nights in the title restaurant".

"Survive from what?"Sakamoto asked.

Osamu then checked the cameras in the game and looked in both door. Next, he returned to explaining:

"Well. In this restaurant, there's a band of Animatronics, which in the day plays music. However, during the night, the Animatronics comes to live to kill".

After hearing this, Witches looked at each other.

"You really like such games?"Takei asked.

"I simply love survival horrors. I'm surprised, that you didn't noticed"Osamu said.

"How could we notice?"Takei wanted to know.

In response, Osamu simply pointed behind himself. Sakamoto and Takei turned around and understood, what he was talking about.

All over his room's walls, they could see 'Resident Evil' posters and on shelfs, there were figures of various horror games characters and monsters, like Mr. X from 'Resident Evil 2'. There also were numerous boxes with the games themselves.

"How couldn't we notice? I never noticed these things"Sakamoto said.

Osamu simply threw up his arms.

"I have to know? You tell me"he said.

"So maybe we would not interrupt you anymore?"Takei asked.

But the green-haired boy shook his head.

"If you want, you can look"he said"This won't disrupt me. You also can play, if you ask me".

Witches simply threw their arms up and looked at the computer's screen.

Some time later…

After some time of playing and watching, Sakamoto and Takei already knew all Animatronics and knew, how to play the game.

"This was both pretty fun and pretty scary"Takei stated.

"Hell yeah. I always like these thrills coming down my back, while playing survival horrors. Nice you liked them too"Osamu replied.

Sakamoto threw up her arms.

"Anyway. We have to go. I have a night guard today"she said.

Takei looked at her.

"What?"she asked.

"I signed up to school's security services. Tonight, I have a duty on the Hangar Deck. Fortunately, only from 17:00 till 20:00"she explained.

Next, she noticed, that Takei scratches back of her head.

"What is it, Takei?"Sakamoto asked.

"You see…Yesterday I signed to security services too. And I also have duty on Hangar Deck today. And in the same time"Takei replied.

Sakamoto looked at her and threw up her arms.

"Okay. That doesn't matter anyway. If we have the night duty in the same time, than yeah. It's nothing"she stated"Also, I can teach you some stuff about this job".

"Okay then. I would like to see, how you work".

Two Witches left the room, while Osamu returned to his computer.

He decided to look on the school's Facebook profile. When he opened it, he noticed one thing, that make him grin.

"This is going to be fun"he stated.

19:02

Hangar Deck, Gatehouse

Later that night, Sakamot and Takei were sitting in Hangar Deck Gatehouse, where all security equipment was located. They were also wearing their security uniforms, in form of navy blue jackets and skirts.

"I didn't knew this job is so boring"Takei stated.

Sakamoto looked at her from behind the newspaper she was reading and threw up her arms.

"This is how this job simply is. Nobody tries to steal anything from here, because, well. There is nothing to steal from this hangar"she replied.

"So why there is security needed?"

"Because, as headmaster said, 'you never know'".

Right then, a school courier passed by the gatehouse. And, when they saw what he was carrying on the trolley, they widened their eyes.

"Is that…Freddy?"Takei asked.

Courier stopped in the door and looked at them.

"Yup. The same Freddy from FNAF"courier replied"Straight from Freddy Fazbear's Pizza".

"I thought it's only a game"Sakamoto said.

"Game, based on urban legend"courier said.

"And how did this got here?"Takei again turned her eyes on Freddy.

Courier patted the head of Freddy.

"One of the restaurants was in headmaster's hometown. He saw these on eBay and bought three: Freddy, Fox and Bonnie. He felt a little nostalgic, I think".

He grabbed the handles of his trolley.
"But well. I now have to put this in magazine. Fox and Bonnie are already there. So see ya".

Courier then left.

Witches looked at each other.

"He said it's based on urban legend"Sakamoto said"And it means, that something might actually happen".

"What even is urban legend?"Takei asked.

"Some legend popular among normal people, not created by years long traditions. So, simply, something created by common thinking of some people"Sakamoto explained.

"So…it's rather not true?"

"Sometimes, urban legends were true".

Then, thrills came down their spines.

"Anyway. We have to work only until 20:00. So this is going to be someone else problem"Sakamoto stated with smile.

But then, no one other, that their boss, stood in the door and looked at them, with smile on his face.

"Listen, ladies, there is a situation"the boss said"The guys, that were supposed to change you for the night time has fallen ill and can't do it".

Witches looked at each other. But their boss didn't ended:

"So it seems, like you two are working late! Haha!"

Next, he simply walked away, with smile and laugh still on his face. Sakamoto made a tormented expression and said:

"Ah, shit".

23:01

Four hours later, Witches were still sitting in the gatehouse. Sakamoto was still reading the newspaper, while Takei was nervously looking around.

"You really think these Animatronics will come to life?"Sakamoto asked.

"Yeah…"Takei replied unsteadily.

"I, honestly, stopped to think like that two hours ago. If they haven't came to live till now, then why should they do it now?"

But as Sakamoto said it, lights in the gatehouse turned off. Only source of light now, were the screens, with camera views on them.

The two gulped.

"What just happened?"Sakamoto asked.

"Better check the camera view from the storage"Takei said.

Sakamoto looked on the said camera view and felt, as cold hand grips her throat.

Animatronics weren't present there.

"Oh shit"Sakamoto said"Better find them now!"

The two then started to look from screen to screen, looking for the Animatronics on the screens.

"I see Bonnie. She's in the kitchen"Takei reported.

"And I see Fox"Sakamoto said"He's in the gym".

But then, she noticed one thing. One, which made her gulp again.

"But I can't find Freddy. Where can he be?"she asked.

In that moment, Takei started to lift her pointing finger and tried to say something, but she simply couldn't. Sakamoto saw fear in her eyes, nodded and pointed behind her.

"H-He's standing right behind me, aren't he?"

Takei nodded in response.

"Yeah. Thought so"Sakamoto said and started to turn around on her chair.

And when she ended, she looked straight into Freddy's eyes. Animatronic looked at her and gave his terrifying laugh.

Witches gave the scream of fear and quickly jumped up from their chairs, leaving the gatehouse as fast as possible. Freddy followed them.

"Let's go to the hangar! We can hide between the fighters!"Sakamoto said.

"Good idea!"Takei replied.

The two then turned towards the Hangar and quickly ran inside. They started to run between fighters.

Few seconds later, Freddy entered the Hangar too. He looked around, but couldn't find his victims. Next, he started to walk between them.

After he passed a two-seated version of F-2, Sakamoto and Takei looked out from the cockpit and saw, as Freddy passes the fighter.

"They won't come to life, huh?"Takei asked.

"You're gonna remind this to me now?"Sakamoto asked"Better think of way to survive the night, with that thing following us".

Takei threw up her arms.

"But I don't know, what to do. It's the first time I have to run away from Animatronic"she replied.

"Me too. But it has to have some weaknesses"Sakamoto stated.

They then hid again, because they saw, as Animatronic returns and again passes by their hideout.

"Shit. If he's going to circle around like that…"Takei stated.

"I know. We'll be screwed"Sakamoto agreed.

Takei then started to look around. Right then, she saw an F-2 with it's engines pointed at the wall. And idea popped in her head.

"I think I know what to do"she said.

Sakamoto looked at her friend.

"What?"

"You see that F-2?"Takei asked and Sakamoto nodded"I'll try to get inside. You find Freddy and lead him behind the fighter".

"And?"

"And then, I will turn the engines on and burn that robot down".

501st second-in-command was thinking about it for a little and finally nodded her head.

"This might work"she said.
"I know. So better let's try"Takei replied.

They carefully looked around and when they stated, that they are safe to go, they jumped out of the cockpit and landed on the ground.

Only to be surprised by Freddy jumping on them from behind the fighter they were hiding behind.

Witches simply screamed and started to run away from Freddy. However, not in the direction of fighter noticed by Takei.

"And that's my plan for you!"Takei shouted.

"Stop screaming and keep running!"Sakamoto replied.

Next, they turned into smaller corridor. Freddy was still following them. Sakamoto pulled Takei's arm and the two quickly jumped into nearby storage.

Freddy, of course, entered there behind them. However, instead of finding them inside, he saw only numerous props for theater. He looked around, looking for his victims. But they weren't present there.

Right then, sheet behind him lifted up and before Freddy orientated, Sakamoto covered his eyes with rag. Animatronic started to sway around the storage, while Sakamoto and Takei ran away.

When they continued to run down the corridor, a new idea to stop Freddy appeared in her head.

"Takei, I think I got it"she said.

"So. Tell me. How do we have to stop that thing?"Takei asked.

"We just need a lot of time and a lot of things"Sakamoto replied"Trust me, it will work. Now listen".

And then, she started to explain her plan.

00:12

One hour later, Freddy was still looking for Takei and Skamoto. But, somehow, the two disappeared.

"Where the hell are they?"Freddy asked himself.

In that moment, he got hit with something. He looked on the floor and saw a boot. Next, he looked into the corridor, from which the boot flew. There, he saw Takei.

"Want to catch me?"she asked"Then come at me".

Without hesitation, Freddy started to charge at her.

Takei quickly turned around and started to run away from the Animatronic. She looked behind. Fortunately, Freddy was a bit slower than her.

"Hope your plan will work, Mio"she thought.

"Alright, Takei. Let him follow you"Mio said in communicators.

Strike Witches second-in-command was watching Takei on the security tablet, which let her to look at view from just single camera, but Takei had a transponder with her, so Mio knew, which camera she has to turn to.

To it, they also had their Witches communicators, so they could easily communicate, without Freddy knowing it.

"The first trap is behind that turn. You know, what to do"Mio instructed.

Takei nodded. She turned and jumped over the red laser of movement detector.

Freddy, however, was not so lucky and ran right into the movement detector, which resulted in a bag of flour falling on him. Before he orientated, he was all white and coughing.

"Come on!"he whispered.

Next, he continued his chase after Takei.

Witch looked behind her and saw, that Freddy is behind her again. She tried to run faster, but she was already running at full speed.

"Second trap, right in front of you!"Mio communicated.

Takei looked in front of her and saw a cord. She again jumped over it. And again, Freddy didn't which resulted in him cutting the cord.

Right then, a toolbox fell on his head. He started to massage it.

"Really?!"he exclaimed, but still quiet enough, so Takei couldn't hear him.

"I think these your traps are actually working!"Takei said in communicator.

"Of course they are. Now, I want you to lead him right towards me. We will finally take care of him".

"On it".

Witch once again looked behind her. Freddy was now far behind her. He would not be able to catch her now.

She turned in the side corridor. On it's end, she met with Mio.

"He's right behind me"Takei said.

"Good. Take the rope"Mio said.

Two Witches then grabbed the rope laying on the floor. Meanwhile, Freddy ran into the corridor. Hearing, that his footsteps are closer and closer, the two started counting:

"Three…Two…One!"

And they pulled the rope.

Freddy saw as the rope lifts up, but was unable to stop. He collided with it, tripped, rolled on the floor and hit his head in the wall.

"Ouch!"he exclaimed.

After hearing this, two Witches looked at each other.

"Wait a minute"Sakamoto said"Since when does Animatronics shout like teenagers?"

Next, they both approached Freddy, which was now sitting on the floor. Takei grabbed his head and pulled it off…

…only to reveal Osamu's face under it.

"OSAMU?!"the two exclaimed.

"Hey. What's up?"Osamu asked"Ouch, my head! Why you used that toolbox?"

"We have better question"Takei said"Why was you chasing us like that?!"

Osamu threw up his arms and started to stand up.

"On school's Facebook page, I saw that headmaster bought these Animatronics. So I thought, that because you played my copy of FNAF, I might do a simple joke"he explained.

"You know we were terrified?"Mio asked.

"I know. And it was my goal".

He again massaged his head.

"But I think, that we're even. I scared you and you almost broke my head. And suffocated me with flour".

Witches again looked at each other and smiled.
"Yeah. We're even, that's for sure"Sakamoto stated.

"And I'm sure, I'll remember this night for long"Takei added.

And next, all three erupted with laugh. They were laughing for few seconds, until Takei asked:

"Now, tell us. Who else did you engaged into this?"

Osamu looked at her with asking look.

"What do you mean?"he asked.

"Well. You was Freddy. Then who was Fox and who was Bonnie?"Sakamoto asked.

But Osamu simply threw up his arms.

"I don't know, what you're talking about. When I left the storage, they were still standing there".

Witches looked at each other, then back at Osamu.

"Wait a second. Then who…?"Sakamoto asked.

But before she ended, they heard quick footsteps. They looked in it's direction and saw Bonnie standing at the end of the corridor. Fox was standing next to her. Thrills came down all three spines.

"Oh no…"Takei whispered.

Then, Bonnie and Fox charged at them, giving the terrifying screech. The three quickly hugged each other and started screaming.

And then, Sakamoto woke up. She was sweating and heavy breathing. She looked around her room. On the clock, she saw, that the hour is five minutes after midnight.

"So it was all just a dream"she whispered"I think I will never play any survival horror anymore".

Witch laid back down and covered with quilt.

So she didn't saw Freddy smiling at her in the dark.
