{ Freddy's POV }

After Bonnie was taken away and Foxy stopped sobbing, Freddy approached Marionette, BB, and Mangle. "Okay, guys. We really need to find Gold now."

"But you agreed to turn on our friends!" BB cried, pointing to the Parts Closet where a shiny chicken, bear, and bunny stood. Marionette nodded, the eyes of his mask boring into Freddy.

Freddy huffed impatiently, but they got to work. Eventually their found the on/off switched and turned them all on. Their voice boxes were in a much better state than the ones from Freddy's pizzeria. They hardly stuttered at all. They were so excited to see Marionette, BB, and Mangle again, and were completely cool with Freddy and company. Marionette explained to them the deal he had made, and the robots understood. The blue bunny nodded. "Okay. We'll hang out in the security office for a while. Come see us when you're done with these guys and we can have a party!" The chicken squealed in delight.

The animatronics walked down the main hallway. Freddy estimated doing all that took about fifteen minutes. A lot could happen in fifteen minutes.

He turned to Marionette. "Now can we look for Chica and Gold?" He asked pleadingly.

Marionette nodded. "Okay. I suggest we look in the party rooms."

"Already did."

"Oh. Parts closet?"

"That's where we just were. There's nothing there."

"Right. Er... Kid's Cove?"

"That's where you found me, Marionettet."

"Right," Marionette giggled.

"What about the Security Office, where our friends went?" BB spoke up. "There's a tablet with cameras in there."

Mike and Foxy walked up, Foxy still looking shaken, his eyes still glassy. "I was in there," Mike told them. "And I checked all the cameras. I saw nothing."

They went silent as they thought. Foxy sniffed and murmured, "if only Bonnie were here. She's so smart, she would know." He broke down into sobs once more, Mike patting his back comfortingly. Mike then looked up at Freddy.

"Who are these guys, anyway?" Mike asked incredulously, eyeing Marionette, Mangle, and BB.

"This is Mark and Bo, but they go by Marionette and BB. The fox is Mangle, BB's pet. They agreed to help us find Chica and Gold."

Marionette waved enthusiastically and laughed. BB grinned. Mike smiled warily.

"Okay guys, let's think. What part of the pizzeria have we not explored yet?" Freddy said, scratching his head. He couldn't help but feel naked without his top hat, but it was somewhere back in South Carolina in the pizzeria supply closet.

Mike suddenly gasped, then burst into a fit of wheezing and coughing, holding his chest and trying to suck in breaths as Freddy continuously asked what was wrong. He finally caught his breath and managed a small, "I'm fine." He took a few more deep breaths then continued. "The girl's bathroom. We went into the boy's, but not the girls."

It all clicked together in Freddy's head. "Yes!" He said, snapping his fingers. "Mike, you're a genius. Let's go, guys!"

The gang headed down the hall, Foxy limping on his injured leg, and stopped in front of the girls restroom.

"But we're boys, we can't go in there!" Marionette Puppet insisted with a snicker.

Freddy shot him a half-amused, half-angry look. "Come on, guys. Take the mirrors down, check the walls, anything you have to do."

There were nods and murmurs. Freddy opened the door with a creak. Mike shone the flashlight into the dark room. They all walked in and began removing mirrors, sinks, and tapping on the walls.

BB was tugging on Freddy's jacket. Freddy, who had just taken down the last mirror, turned to the young boy, raising his eyebrows in question. BB said nothing, but pointed to an old air freshener above the door.

Freddy was skeptical, but he nodded to BB. They grabbed Mike and the three boys stood by the door. Freddy and Mike locked their fingers and BB stepped into their hands. They boosted him up and he tore the air freshener off of the wall without hesitation. A small, glowing red button was in the middle of the spot where it once was. BB smiled in triumph and pressed the button. The wall across from them slid sideways to reveal a dimly lit hallway that sloped down into the ground.

Freddy set BB down. The cut on his back was stinging from the effort of bending. Foxy, Marionette, and Mangle appeared from inside some of the stalls. After exchanging quick glances with each other, they all walked inside the secret hallway.

The hallway ended and expanded into a large room. The walls were grey like the walls of the pizzeria, the floor made of black and white tiles. Bean-bag chairs and couches were placed around the room in no particular order. Three flickering light bulbs hung on the ceiling, threatening to go out any minute. It was as if someone had found the pizzeria's cellar or something and turned it into a hangout. Gold was sitting in a beanbag chair, facing away from them. The fox and bear animatronic were in the corner, their eyes dim. Apparently what Marionette had done worked.

Across the room Freddy caught sight of Chica and had to force himself to stay quiet. She was tied to a pole, her ankles bound and her hands tied around the back. She wasn't gagged and she looked healthy enough, but even from across the room Freddy could see the dark circles underneath her eyes. She was sleeping, but she would occasionally jerk around or make a soft moaning noise.

Behind him, Freddy heard footsteps. He turned to see Marionette, BB, and Mangle leaving. "Guys!" He called in a whisper. They turned back.

"What?" Marionette asked quietly. "We said we would help you find them. And we did."

"Yeah," BB added. "We're gonna go catch up with our friends. But don't worry, we'll meet up again soon." The little boy grinned, but it almost looked malicious. With that, they disappeared, leaving only Freddy, Mike, and a Foxy on the edge of an emotional breakdown.

"GAH!" A yell from Gold startled them. They looked back into the room, hoping the shadows hid them. The blonde boy was staring at his phone, his knuckles white from clutching it so hard. Freddy couldn't see his face, but by the tone of his voice he suspected his brother was raging mad. "Damn you, you stupid fat yellow flappy bird!" He screeched, then chucked his phone across the room. With a crack and a couple sparks, it hit the wall and broke apart into two pieces. Gold stood and walked over to Chica, caressing her chin softly. Freddy was trying to keep himself hidden; he was so close to going all Chuck Norris on his brother.

Suddenly Gold turned and looked directly at the trio. His insane grin spread across his face. "Wow! You win!" he said. Their faces must have been shocked, because Gold said, "I have cameras of my own. I've been watching you guys. Although I do think calling an ambulance is cheating." He was walking across the room towards them. He beckoned into the room with one hand. "Come in, come. Sit down, get comfortable, make yourself at home.."

Reluctantly, they walked in, but didn't sit down. Freddy was just glad Gold wasn't deciding he wasn't going to go for the if-you-move-a-muscle-I'll-kill-the-girl cliché.

"Well," Gold said. "I think we should even the playing field. One on one. Mono e mono. What do you think, Fred?" He giggled and walked up to Mike. "I know how your chest is vulnerable from my chicken punching you. Let me help with that," He offered, then kicked Mike in the chest so hard Freddy winced. Mike fell to the ground, gasping for breath. He then slumped down and passed out.

Gold then proceeded towards Foxy. Freddy tried to stop him but to no avail. He pulled a knife out of his yellow vest. Foxy attempted to punch him but Gold ducked. He stomped his foot hard onto Foxy's calf, causing him to screech in pain, then sliced his knife across Foxy's chest. Not deep enough to cause any fatal damage, but Foxy began bleeding quite a bit, and blacked out within a minute.

Then it was just him and Gold.

Gold put the bloody knife back into his pocket, wiping his hands on his chest. "Well, brother," he said, his grin widening. "Shall we play a game?"
