Despite Daniel's age, he's seen more things than people twice his age and a lot of that is terrifying. He's faced the demons of his past, defeated a murderous ghost, and befriended the most traumatized group of people on earth. But none of that could have prepared him for what he was about to face.

"OhmygoshIcan'tbelievethatahumancamedownhere, ohnowhatarewegonnado?!"

The pink and white fox animatronic was running around in frenzy. It made Daniel dizzy just looking at her. He just stared, dumbfounded at the reaction he received. His ears flop sideways as he tilts his head in confusion.

Another animatronic, this one a white and pink bear with a black top hat and bowtie, tried to calm her down. His efforts seemed to be in vain though as the fox kept running around yelling nonsense. Daniel also noticed that one of his hands was missing, and was instead replaced with a blue Bonnie-like puppet.

One of the other animatronics, this one a blue and white ballerina animatronic, simply sighed in exasperation. She then moved over to help the bear, but not without sending cautious glances back at Daniel.

But out of all of the animatronics present, the last one caught his attention the most. She was a white and red humanoid animatronic, her 'hair' pulled up into twin pigtails. She also was wearing a red skirt and red elf shoes. But it wasn't her appearance that caught his attention. No, it was her behavior.

She had initially looked over at the chaos made by the fox and seemed like she wanted to help, but didn't. Instead she just crossed her arms and glared at Daniel, almost daring him to move. Daniel didn't know why, but something in that look made him cringe. It was the look of someone ready to defend, no matter what happened to them.

After processing this information, Daniel quickly assessed the big picture. He came to this building looking for victims of the Freddy incidents. If these animatronics with human-like behavior aren't what he's looking for, then he'll bite his tail.

Still cautious of the red animatronic's behavior, Daniel slowly gets up. The animatronic snarls, impressive considering that their bodies are still normal robot bodies.

Daniel has no doubt now that this animatronic is the leader, and he knows that he'll need to gain her trust if he wanted to get them back to Freddy's. He puts his hands up in the universal symbol of surrender, telling her that he was no threat. She seemed to get the message as her glare lets up slightly, but she still is on edge.

"For the love of… STAND DOWN FOXY!"

Daniel gets startled at the sudden exclamation, and the name within it. His head snaps back to the other animatronics, and he is met with an even stranger sight than before. The fox animatronic is completely frozen in place mid run, somehow staying the air.

The ballerina is shaking her head with a hand on her face. And the bear is simply glaring at, Foxy.

Daniel blinks, still uncertain what to do in this situation. His head tilts once again in response to his confusion, but this was a bad idea. The fox animatronic seemed to finally notice that Daniel wasn't a normal human. He only had two seconds before a blur rams into his chest screaming "KAWAII!"

His breath is knocked out of him as he once again has a female start snuggling his tail. He's starting to see a pattern here. His face burns with embarrassment as the fox rubs his ears with one hand and holds his tail close with the other. And much to his disgust and the fox's delight, he begins purring. PURRING. That was the last straw for him as his face contorts into embarrassed rage. He slaps the fox away with his tail and quickly gets up again, his face as red as his eyes.

The red animatronic was still glaring at Daniel, but he could see that she was struggling to hold in her amusement. The other animatronics weren't so lucky. The ballerina tried to mask her chuckles behind her hand, but ultimately failed. And the bear was clutching his stomach as he laughs uproariously.

The fox on the other hand was rubbing her cheek in pain, grumbling absentmindedly. She gets up and puts her hands on her hips, glaring at Daniel. "And what was that for?!"

Daniel growls, somehow irritated by the fox animatronic's behavior. "You just rammed into me and began cuddling my tail! How else was I going to respond!"

The fox growls back, not pleased with the answer. "And what kind of human has a tail anyways!"

Daniel raises an eyebrow. "Aren't you human still, even in that body?"

The fox crosses her arms, giving Daniel an appraising look. "Touche." She goes and turns around to get back to her, comrades, when she registers what Daniel said.

She freezes in her tracks, her mind reeling. How could this random person know their secret? They've been down here for six years, and anyone who came was killed! She was completely in shock, unable to comprehend someone figuring them out.

The other animatronics were in similar states of shock. The red animatronic recovers first, her glare back in full force and her voice dangerously calm. "How do you know that."

Daniel blinks, then realizes that he gave away that he knew their secret. He mentally slaps himself, but then decides that this might work in his advantage. He straightens up and says. "It'll be a long story. Can you handle that?"

The red animatronic pauses, but then she nods. This human was suspicious, but he also held an air of kindness. She doesn't trust anyone but her friends, but there is no way that this person knew their secret without somehow being connected in some way.

Daniel watches as the red animatronic gathers the other animatronics and start leading them into the underground building. She looks back and beckons Daniel to follow. He obliges, but what waits for him in the darkness will become his ultimate test.
