Chapter Six

Four

"I can't find anything on my frequencies," Four yelled over to Ten.

"Just keep it running," Ten recommended. "Someone might turn on that frequency soon." Suddenly, they all heard Newt scream.

"That sounded like it came from the forest," Nine remarked. "She might be in danger. We are all family now, we need to protect each other." All four of them ran off to go find Newt. They were deep in the forest when Two hunched over in nausea.

"Ohhh," she groaned.

"I hear some kind of emitter," Nine commented. "Ten can you conjure up an EMP?"

Ten tried to answer, but he couldn't because of what he saw behind Nine. "X-x-x," he stuttered. "Xeno!"

Nine spun around, but he didn't see anything. "Just create an EMP," he snapped. They all felt a huge burst of energy escape from Ten. Two no longer felt nauseous, and Ten no longer saw a xeno. The only thing they saw was a heap of scraps. "Looks like this is some kind of sound emitter scrambling our senses, making us fill in the gaps of our perception." Nine lifted up a piece of it. "Sinnerstar's insignia. This must have been deployed from the Sinibombs."

"So where is the other one?" Two asked. "There were two explosions."

"Most likely at Newt," Four remarked. They all continued to run to where they heard Newt's voice.

When they got there they saw both Newt and Five swinging at unknown foes, and Albus firing off spells in all different directions. Ten set off another EMP, and the others all looked around confused. "Where did they go?" Albus asked.

"Right here," Nine answered, patting the nearby scrap heap. "Sinnerstar was trying to mess with anyone who came out to the forest, so he placed these around. He is going to be playing mind games it seems."

Nine's earpiece activated. "Nine, I need you and anyone that is with you to head off to the Mall of America. Apparently, there is someone there," Nine heard Grant say.

"Looks like we are going to have to put you little incursion on hold. Someone needs our help at the Mall of America," Nine told them.

"Good thing I already found what I needed," Newt responded, scooping something off the ground.

"I already have all of you set up to go," Grant said. "Just say when, and I will send all of you."

"Now," Nine said. Their surroundings disappeared to be replaced by a giant mall.

"I always wanted to go here," Four commented, looking around in awe.

"Be very careful," Nine advised. "This place is normally a supernatural hotspot. The creatures might have become more violent because of the temporal freeze. We should all split up to find the person faster. Set your frequency to 626."

Ten and Four went up to the third floor of the mall. They passed by a store that looked like it sold jewelry. Four looked inside the store, causing Ten to think that she wanted something. "Stay here," he told her. He walked inside of the store. Five minutes later he walked out with a necklace for Four. "Don't worry, I left money for it." Four lifted up her hair and turned around. Ten unclipped the necklace, placed it around her neck, and then reclipped it.

Four looked down at the green peridot that was the main piece of the necklace. "Tevi, you have no idea how much this means to me," she admitted.

"It was nothing Foursy," Ten humbly replied. "I just knew that it was the right thing to do."

"Thank you anyways," she replied, giving him a big kiss. They then heard a low howl echo throughout the building. "That definitely doesn't sound good."

Side Note: I got the idea for the illusion devices from Scott Cawthon's FNAF books. I thought that it was a good way to create a little bit of tension.
