"And that's about it." Daniel had just finished explaining to the small group of animatronics about how he knew of their identity. He explained to them about the groups at Freddy's and how he defeated their killer. He didn't indulge too much information though, leaving things simple and undetailed.

The red animatronic, who Daniel found out's name is Baby, was deep in thought. If this human had helped another group similar to theirs with their problems, then maybe he can help them. But she wasn't sure. For all she knows he just told them one big lie. No, she'll wait this out before she begins trusting him.

The other animatronics weren't so cautious though. The fox animatronic, who was called Funtime Foxy, was jumping around in excitement. She seemed to be thrilled at the thought of being freed at last.

The bear, Funtime Freddy, was shaking his head in exasperation at the Funtime Foxy's antics, but he couldn't hide the hopeful smile on his face.

Finally, Ballora, the ballerina animatronic, has her mouth in a thin line. This boy seemed trust worthy, but she knows what happens when someone trusts someone else so easily. It's how they got in this mess in the first place…

She shakes her head of those thoughts. She knew better than to use one experience to judge everyone. But she still couldn't just believe blindly either. She'll wait and observe his behavior, see if he is being genuine. She's always been good at reading others.

Daniel took in all of the outside emotions in only a couple seconds. He could see the hope in all of the animatronics, but he could also see the distrust and doubt in Ballora and Baby. He'll need to try hard to gain their trust. But how?

Daniel's been mulling over this idea ever since he began the story. Ballora and Baby are simple too cautious for one story to convince them. The only solution he can see is solving their problems, just as he did to his group.

Deciding that first he'll need to find the problem, he says "So now that I told you my story, why don't you tell me your's?"

Baby stopped thinking as she registers what he just said. "Our story?" Daniel nods.

Baby's eyes narrow as she contemplates the request. There really is no reason to keep their story a secret. But she'll need to leave IT out of it.

In the end, Baby nods. "Fine, I'll tell. But it won't be much. Simply put, we were killed by the animatronics we inhabit currently. We still aren't entirely sure why it happened, or why the animatronics are so deadly, but it did. Ever since we have simply been wandering around, trying to find some way to escape. The place was abandoned shortly after we died, so no one had to deal with us. And we prefer it that way. If no one comes down here, no one gets hurt."

Daniel listens intently and is almost disappointed in how simple the story is, but then he catches the ending. So no one gets hurt. They obviously aren't trying to hurt him now and can easily recognize colors, so why would that be a problem? If they don't want to, then something must be making them.

"Wait, so you don't want to hurt others, right?" Baby nods.

Daniel then says "So if you don't want to hurt others, then what's making you?"

Each animatronic stiffens. Daniel knew he caught them red handed and he is now determined to get the reason out of them. "Well?"

Baby looks around nervously. She already revealed too much information. If she reveals that IT is here, then what will they do then? IT can't know that someone is here.

But then again, he does seem capable. Magic isn't bestowed on just any random person, she knew that. Maybe this boy can help them.

Baby sighs, resisting the human urge to bring a hand threw her nonexistent hair. If this boy is as capable as he says he is, then surely he can fight IT.

"Fine. I'll tell you." Each animatronic gasps and stares straight at Baby as if she was crazy. Baby flinches, but stands her ground.

"The person who does this isn't human, or a possessed robot like us. He, or it, is simply an animatronic. A robot. But it isn't normal. It has magic capabilities, and it can interfere with our magic energy. If it does interfere with our magic, it can control us. It always makes us kill."

Daniel grimaces, not liking the problem one bit. A robot capable of interfering with magical energy isn't a good thing. If this thing is strong enough, it could take him over as well.

But Daniel isn't one to sit idly around while a problem is at hand. He'll take care of this problem, and he'll make sure they ALL walk away from it. He didn't come here to fail.

"Seems like trouble. And I can see why you can't leave. If that thing is programmed to keep you here, then it'll have almost no trouble doing so. But if this is this case, then I'll help how I can."

Baby looks up in slight surprise. "Really?"

Daniel nods. "But I'll need to see this animatronic first. If it is just a robot, then I'll need to shut it down. You can't reason with a machine. No offense." The last part was thrown in just in case one of them points out that they are machines to. Judging from the fact the Funtime Foxy closes her mouth, he guessed right.

Baby nods at his logic. She also knew exactly where IT was going to be. "I'll show you to it. Follow me." Baby gets up and leaves the room, not waiting to see if Daniel is following.

Daniel quickly gets up as well and follows Baby out of the room, the other animatronics following close by. But Daniel wasn't prepared for the next area.

The place underground seemed to be some sort of maintenance or observatory room. The room they are in currently branches off in three directions. The path to the left, through a vent, leads to the Ballora Gallery. The path to the right, once again through a vent, leads to the Funtime Auditorium. And the one in directly in front of them leads to the Circus Baby Auditorium, again through a vent.

Baby almost instantly takes a left into the Ballora Gallery. She is just barely able to fit through the vent, squeezing her way through the confined space and into the room. Everyone else follows suit with no problem.

The Ballora Gallery was almost exactly as Daniel expected in a place like this. By that, he means dark. It was almost pitch black in the room. The only reason he could see at all was because of his fox biology giving him enhanced eyesight in the dark.

Baby once again doesn't wait for the group to catch up and almost instantly goes to the left, navigating through the large room with her glowing eyes.

After a few moments of walking, the group arrives at an old wooden door. Daniel studies it meticulously, looking for any traps or clues.

He doesn't get to observe for long though as Baby opens the door and walks inside, everyone else following close behind.

The room the enter looks almost identical to his office in Freddy's, albeit without the Freddy posters. Or the color scheme. Oh, and the multiple monitors lining the wall in front of them.

"This is it." Daniel stops looking around as Baby speaks again.

"So, this is where the robot is?" Baby nods.

Daniel's face becomes colder as he looks at the multiple monitors on the wall. He's have to be an idiot to not know that this is a security room. And any security room will have cameras.

It only took a few seconds, but Daniel was able to find the control for the monitors on the wall. He switches on the camera system and takes a look around. He doesn't see anything, but he feels like something is there.

Suddenly, a loud noise is heard. It seemed to sound like creaking metal. Every animatronic froze in fear, each one's eyes wide open. Daniel looks at each of them, instantly on guard. "What's wrong?"

Baby shakes violently, but she is able to answer with some effort. "I... H-He's coming."

Daniel looks at here with worry filled eyes. "Who! Who is coming?"

Baby looks directly into Daniel's eyes, pure horror filling her mechanical orbs. "Ennard."
