"Hey there, Harry..." -Aya

Slowly, Erika made her way through the halls as beside her, Chelsie looked at her with worry on her face. "Are you sure that you want to talk with them, Erika? I mean..." Having seen the raised eyebrow on Erika's face, Cheslie played a bit with her fingers. "... What if they attack you or something?" Ducking her head a little, Chelsie stopped and scuffed one claw along the floor. "I don't want you to get hurt after all..."

More then a little embarrassed, Erika reached up and gently squeezed the animatronic's shoulder. "Hey, look at me." Once Chelsie had turned back to her, Erika continued. "Nothing is going to happen to me, especially if this is my teacher." She glanced beside her where Andrew/Toy Freddy was and smiled. "Besides, I got you two for back up and that's more then enough."

With that, Andrew stood a bit straighter. "Yeah! Me and Chelsie will protect you if it turns out that they're a bunch of bad men! Right, Chelsie?"

Nodding rapidly, Chelsie smiled a bit. "Yeah, that's true I guess..."

A smile crossed Erika's face as she reached the doorway and looked back as she whispered. "Now, you two stay out of sight and-"

However, she was cutoff as a light shined in her face as a voice that she recognized as her professor called out. "Whose there... Wait, Erika!? Erika Perks!? What the-SHIT! RUN OVER HERE RIGHT NOW BEFORE THEY GET YOU!"

There was a grimace on Erika's face as she let out a hiss. "Well... there goes that plan..." Shaking it off, she walked into the room and stopped just inside the doorway with Andrew and Cheslie right behind her. "Hey, Prof..."

While he scrambled to put on his Bonnie mask, Fritz stared at her as he hissed. "Move very slowly toward me, Erika. Those things are dangerous."

Before Erika could say anything, Chelsie placed a hand on the young woman's shoulder and shook her head. "Ah-uh! She's not coming over there! I've seen this sort of thing on the tele so I know what happens next! Erika walks up to you and then you grab her and hold her hostage! I'm not going to let that happen!"

Silence filled the room before, behind his Freddy mask, Jeremy blinked. "What..."

However, there was something else that caught Fritz's attention as his eyes widened some. 'They're... not attacking her? Hell, they're trying to protect her from... us!? What in the hell is going on here?!' After he cleared his throat, Fritz glanced at his cousin before he turned back to Erika. "... Okay then, you can all come a bit closer, but no closer then the middle of the room. I don't want those things getting too close to my cousin or me." He noted how the two animatronics flinched at that while Erika glared before the three walked forward and stopped where he wanted. "Now then... what are you doing here and why aren't they attacking you?"

Erika licked her dry lips for a moment before she took comfort in how Chelsie and Andrew were both close to her. Distantly, she could hear soft thuds as Harry, Becca, and Vicky worked at the wall that sealed the hidden room. "Remember that job I told you that I got, Professor Smith? It kind of has to do with that..."

For a moment, Fritz nodded before he froze as it all clicked into place. "You... work for Freddy's now and fixed the animatronics..." Taking a breath, he shoved his anger down for the moment though some seeped into his voice. "Miss Perks, I don't know what the management at Freddy's told you, but those things are highly dangerous to people, in fact one nearly killed my cousin!"

Now it was Erika's turn to flash up in anger as she glared at him as she noted how both Andrew and Chelsie flinched. "Sir, these people are not things. They're thinking beings like you or I and call them a 'Thing' again, and I am going to knock your fucking head off. You have no fucking clue what has been done to them and why they were so aggressive!"

Surprisingly, it was Jeremy who spoke up. "Wha... what do you mean? Wha-what was done to them?"

Glancing at him, Erika took a deep breath before she answered. "What do either of you know about the Marionette and FredBears...?"

Now with a frown behind his mask, Fritz felt as confused as his cousin often was, which was a strange feeling. Beside him, Jeremy shuddered a bit. "Not m-much, just tha-that it was kept in a b-box with music pla-playing that I had to keep w-wound up..."

As she ran a hand through her hair, Erika grimaced. "Well, you're not going to really believe this no doubt, but the story starts in Nazi controlled Europe in the 40s..."

So Erika told the whole story behind Freddy's and finally wound down. Several moments passed as Fritz got up and began to pace a bit. "You're trying to tell me that magic is real and that the Marionette is some kind of Nazi creation that was trying to create a cyborg zombie? And that Vincent killed those kids before he shoved them into the original costumes to make more? Then the Marionette controlled them to get them to kill guards so that they could be stuffed in an attempt to make more?"

Once more running her hand through her hair, Erika let out a sigh. "Yeah, like I said, rather unbelievable. But it's all true. Hell, my cousin goes to a school of magic. It's just that they hide themselves by wiping people's memories."

Fritz stared at her before he reached up to pinch the bridge of his nose, only for his fingers to hit the Bonnie mask instead. "Saying that it's unbelievable is putting it mildly... But let's say for a moment that I am willing to even give you the benefit of the doubt about all this. Why aren't they attacking now? And what about the Toy animatronics? Also, what proof do you have of all this? Because I'll need some before I fully believe any of what I am hearing here."

It took a moment, but Erika relaxed a bit. "Well, they're not attacking because Harry kind of went and destroyed the Marionette in a fight alongside his Aunt, who is one of the murdered children and who was able to resist it's control."

Raising a hand, Jeremy blinked. "Um... wait, this Harry guy destroyed the Marionette? And... his aunt was put into one of the suits?"

Slowly, Erika nodded a bit. "Yeah... he's a guard at the reopened location and attacked it with a hammer on a night when it finally got managed to drain the power to open the doors to let the animatronics get at him. His Aunt Rose is in the Golden Freddy suit, though her body is still inside..."

That caused Fritz to narrow his eyes a bit as he shivered a bit at the last bit of what she had said. "Wait... is he here in this building? Because we have been seeing someone in a Freddy's guard uniform walking around with... wierd stuff happening around him..."

With a smile, the young woman nodded. "Yeah, that's him though the wierd stuff is probably Aya's doing..." Seeing the looks, she shrugged. "She's a dead, former guard who hangs around him as a ghost thing. Anyways as for the Toy animatronics... well, they... um... kind of contain the souls of some kids who kind of died recently because of some stuff... Chica here is actually a girl named Chelsie, Andrew is in Toy Freddy, a girl named Vicky is in Toy Foxy, another girl named Rebecca or just Becca is in Toy Bonnie, and finally you have a small boy named Robbie inside of Balloon Boy... They don't want to hurt anyone-"

Suddenly she was cut off by Andrew. "Yeah, unless you hurt someone like Erika or Michelle. So, um... yeah, don't."

Both Fritz and Jeremy stared at him as Erika facepalmed. "Not helping, Andrew..."

Wincing, Andrew fiddled with his fingers. "Sorry, Erika..."

Unknown to them was the thought that ran through Fritz's head. 'Okay... if I did not believe her a little bit before, now I definitely do... that was too much like a kid being scolded...'

Meanwhile, Erika turned back to them. "As to proof..." She bit her lip a bit in thought. 'If Rose was here, then I could ask her. But I don't want to bother them, which means...' A glance to the phone and Erika frowned. "Do you know if that phone works when calling to the outside...?"

Caught a bit off guard, Fritz blinked at his student in confusion. "Does the phone here work with calls to the outside?" At her nod, he frowned a bit. "Not... really. About the only place this phone will reach is other Freddy franchises and maybe a storage facility that I heard about. Why?"

Erika walked over despite how the two animatronics looked nervous about it. "Does it hook up to the one in Little Whinging?"

Still confused, Fritz shrugged a bit. "Maybe?"

It was then that Jeremy spoke up. "Um... that would be one on speed dial..." Seeing the looks, he wrung his hands a little. "I kind of played with the phones while I was here and they were building one over there... I remember that Fritz told me that they rushed after... you know."

Sharing a look with her professor, Erika smiled a bit. "Well, that works then."

After she picked up the phone, she pressed the one for speed dial. It took two tries, but finally someone answered her. "Hello? Freddy Fazbear's Family Pizzeria, where fantasy and reality meet! I'm sorry, but we're currently closed at the moment."

With a chuckle, Erika shook her head. "Lisa? It's me, Erika."

She could practically hear the frown on Lisa's face as in the background she could hear the sounds of the animatronics there going about their business. "Erika? What are you doing calling here and... wait, it's reading as this line being from the pizzeria you guys were checking out?"

Slowly, Erika twisted the phone line around her finger as she continued. "Well, you're right about the phone line. As for why I'm calling, we ran into a bit of a snag." Having heard the gasp at the other end, she was quick to reassure. "Nothing really that bad, Lisa. But could you have Veronica come on over? I'm pretty sure that she can teleport right where I am."

Unsure, Lisa hummed for a moment. "I guess? I'll go and ask her and if no, I'll call you back."

The other end then hung up and Erika placed the phone back into place. "Now we wait." She just smiled at the confusion on both Jeremy's and Fritz's faces as they watched her. Then Erika felt the hairs on the back of her neck stand on end before both male guard seemed to get woozy. "And she's here."

Once they turned, the two cousins were surprised to see a golden Foxy costume slumped against the wall. Suddenly, both eyes snapped open and it stood up. "Erika? Lisa said that you needed me for... some... reason?" Her eyes narrowed as she looked at Fritz and Jeremy in suspicion. "Who are these two...?"

Before Erika could say anything, Jeremy shakingly stood up. "R-Ronnie? Is that... really you?"

Veronica's head snapped in his direction and she blinked as she recognized his now much older voice and stared. "Jeremy? Jeremy Fritzgerald? Is that really you?" At his nod, she smiled and chuckled a bit before she became saddened. "It has been a bit, hasn't it?"

Confused, Fritz looked between Jeremy and the apparent animatronic as he tried to puzzle out what was going on. Meanwhile, Jeremy got up and walked around the desk. "I... yeah, it has been a long time. What happened to you? You disappeared and... well, everyone thought..." He trailed off as the pieces fell into place and he slumped a bit against the desk. "... You are, aren't you?"

All Veronica did was nod her head as Fritz frowned in thought. "Wait, Veronica, wasn't that the entertainer at that Freddy's who cross trained you in how to operate the springsuit things? The one that you were going to ask on a date?"

Both Jeremy and Veronica flinched at that before Jeremy shoved his hands into his pockets. "I... think that it might be a bit too late for that..."

Having glanced toward Veronica, Erika walked over to where Fritz was watching the two as if he didn't quite want to believe what they were hinting at. After she cleared her throat to catch his attention, Erika grimaced a bit. "Prof? Just... take a look inside the suit..."

Unsure, Fritz looked toward Jeremy who had a far off look on his face as he stared at Veronica. "Trust her, Fritz."

Surprised, Fritz walked over and she moved so that she was facing him. Once he pulled out a penlight, he shone it into the mouth and paled as well as turned slightly greenish. Breathing heavily as he tried to keep his gorge down, he then looked toward one of the holes in the chest of the suit and leaned in before he shone the penlight into it. "It's..." A moment later, he rushed for the garbage can and started to dry heave. "Oh... God, Oh God... Oh bloody God..."

Harry swung the sledgehammer as hard as he could and knocked a large chunk of brick off the wall as beside him, Rebecca's axe bit in deep. They weren't alone as Vicky was busy jamming the crowbar she held into sections of the wall and slowly working to pry pieces off. "Bloody hell, how long are we going to be here for?"

A bang sounded from inside as Rose spoke up, her face visible in the large hole. "Maybe not much longer..."

Just as Rebecca was about to say something, a hammer burst through the wall and nearly got her in the knee. "Hey! Watch it!"

Sheepish, Rose rubbed the back of her neck. "Sorry about that." The work halted for a moment as Rose poked her head out of the hole and looked down. "Huh... Doesn't look like there's too much more from your side..." For a moment, she rubbed her chin before she nodded. "One moment..."

Before any of the others could say anything, there was a crash and her foot burst through the wall near one of the thinner sections though Harry heard the sound of bone cracking. The foot pulled back and then crashed through another spot as did a fist. Blinking from where she hung from Harry's shoulders, Aya looked over at Rose. "Well, that makes our job a little easier."

As she demolished another weakened section of the wall, Rose glanced at Aya a curious gaze. "So... I've been wondering something, Aya." The animatronic waited until the spirit nodded. "I've been wondering what is going to happen in regards to you once Harry heads back to school."

With a tilt of her head, Aya shrugged as Harry blinked the eye closest to her which was utterly black with a small pinprick pupil. "I'm going to stick with him even when he arrives at Hogwarts of course, why?" Having noticed the looks toward her, she blinked. "What?"

Vicky grabbed Harry's sledgehammer and swung it, breaking through a section of the wall. "Aren't you in the least bit worried about how some might react to you being around?"

Rolling her eyes, Aya scoffed. "It's highly unlikely that they'll even notice me unless I make them notice me. Besides, considering the stories that Harry's told us, I think that he might need the backup."

All Harry did was raise a finger and eyebrow as he looked around. "You know, I'm right here..."

There was laughter as Aya reached up and patted him on the head. "That's nice, dear."

While she shook her head and laughed at the pout on Harry's face, Rebecca looked around with a smile. 'They're like a family... I got a family...' She looked down at her blue plastic covered hand and wished for a moment that it was flesh and blood before she shrugged it off. 'At least it's not as bad as it could be... and now I got a family! Not just me, Andrew, and Chelsie! I got brothers and sisters and everything!'

Unknown to her, Vicky had similar thoughts as she enjoyed the talk that was going on. 'Sure, I may be a soul possessing an animatronic, but better then the streets or... being home with dad. I'm a lot stronger now and no one is going to push me around. No one is yelling at me, I got a nice and warm place to sleep, and a lot of friends! Heck, we're practically family...' That thought caused her to pause and look around before she softly smiled and went back to working on the wall. 'I mean, yeah, it's a wierd family but still a family. Way better then what I had before...'

A shout grabbed their attention and saw Rebecca back up a bit. "Guys, move away from there!" Once they did so, she rushed forward and then leapt forward before she swung the axe downwards as she used her weight behind the swing. The axe broke through one section of the wall on it's downward arc before it came to a stop. "HA!" For several moments they just stared at her before she blushed via her cheeks lighting up and grabbed one ear. "What?"

Suddenly, Vicky grinned a bit. "Okay, that is actually a pretty awesome idea... give me a moment..." Like Rebecca before her, Vicky backed up some and then rushed forward before she leapt and brought the sledgehammer in her paws down. Unlike the axe, which cut apart bricks, the sledgehammer instead shattered them under the force of the blow. "HIYAH!"

Once the shards stopped flying, Rose looked over the work and then motioned them back. "Okay... let's give this another shot then..." After they had moved to the side, Rose walked to the back of the room and then sped forward. This time, when she hit the bricks, the damaged wall gave way. For a few moments she stood there and then raised one finger...

And promptly fell over. "Ow..."

Robbie poked his head in and stared before he shook his head and left. "The Koolaid man, she is not..."

Having heard a crash, everyone in the security office turned toward where it came from as Jeremy jumped. "Wha-what was that!?"

With a frown on her face, Veronica scratched the bottom of her muzzle as she hummed thoughtfully. "Sounded like something... crashed through something?"

As she sighed, Erika facepalmed and groaned. "I think that I know what that was." Once she noticed the looks, she shrugged a bit. "Harry found where Rose was hidden away in that sealed room. When I left, he was breaking down the wall with some of the others to help her so that she would not be trapped there when she hasn't teleported anywhere else."

Just as Fritz was about to ask, another voice spoke up. "Yeah... though it was hilarious to see her burst through the remains of the wall only to fall on her face-" The voice got cut off by the sound of something hitting flesh. "OW! That hurt!"

There was a small growl. "It was supposed to..."

Grumbling, the first voice spoke up from the shadows of the hallway. "Anyways... everything alright now, Erika?"

While she chuckled at the byplay, Erika nodded as she turned. "Yeah, everything is just okay, Harry. You and the others can come out now."

Much to Fritz's and Jeremy's surprise, the guard that they had seen walked out though there was some dust on his uniform. But that was not what surprised the two of them the most as Jeremy stood up. "Y-you're a kid!"

Harry turned toward them and raised an eyebrow as he crossed his arms. "I'm fifteen you know, and considering what I've been through, I don't think that I can count as a kid anymore."

Slowly with a disbeliving look, Fritz rubbed his face. "Jesus bloody Christ, you're still a kid to us. Fuck, Jeremy was older when he worked for Freddy's..."

As he glanced with some surprise to where Veronica was, Harry shook his head. "Needed a summer job to take my mind off some things... though with Veronica here I'm guessing that Erika explained everything then?"

Still not quite sure of everything, Jeremy scratched along his scars. "You mean about how that damn fox was possessed by a dead kid stuffed into him? And how the Marionette was some kind of supernatural Nazi shit? Yeah..." He then narrowed his eyes and pointed at the Toy animatronics. "Still doesn't explain why those guys kept trying to kill me."

Blinking, Harry turned a surprised look onto Erika. "Wait, you didn't tell them about the programming we found in the Toys?"

With a soft groan, Erika facepalmed. "I can't believe that I forgot that."

His eyes narrowed at her, Fritz scowled a bit. "What programming?"

Rubbing the side of her head, Erika sighed. "You know Richard in your programming class, Prof?"

Now with his scowl softening into a frown as he grew slightly concerned with where this might be going, Fritz nodded. "Richard? Of course I know him, kid is the best programmer in my class and, unless I miss my guess, is a pretty damn good hacker. Why?"

After she chewed her lip a bit, Erika took a deep breath. "I... had him check the programming for the Toys as there were some issues still. Even though the spirits in them are in full control, the programming was still telling them to attack anyone teenager in age and older. So I asked Richard to check to see where the malfunction was coming from..."

It was then that Harry took over. "What he found was that it wasn't a malfunction at all."

That caused both of the former guards to stiffen and stand a bit straighter. "Wait, what?"

As Harry nodded, Erika continued. "He found that someone had slipped some code into the main programming, in particular into the facial recognition and behavioral programming. One bit of code caused them to ignore a certain person, no matter what he did. The other bit though would, when the correct commands were given, cause the animatronics to turn hostile to adults as they would see them as predators and, eventually, attack them. In fact, their programming told them to attack anyone with a uniform such as security guards or police..."

Enraged, Jeremy punched the desk hard enough that Fritz winced. "WHO THE FUCK WROTE THAT IN?!"

There was a unamused look in Harry's face as he leaned against the wall. "According to the notes we saw, Tony gave full access to a guard who also worked as a technician." Seeing the paling face on Fritz, Harry nodded. "A guy by the name of Vincent."

Cursing, Fritz began to pace. "So that was how that bloody bastard did it... fuck!" A thought then occurred to him and he whipped around. "Wait... I remember that when they fixed Foxy up just before..." Fritz glanced at his cousin who had gone stiff. "That had happened, they had downloaded the same programming that the Toys had. I know that Erika and Foxy from when he showed up said that he did what he did was because he thought Jeremy was that child-killing bastard, but was the programming a part of it?"

Both Harry and Erika shared a look of slight surprise, before Harry shrugged. "It's a definete possibility which is why we were going to bring it up with law enforcement. It would help explain what happened and since said programming got removed from him..."

Hearing the last bit caused Jeremy to grit his teeth. "You were going re-commission him, weren't you?"

Now that caused Fritz to glare at Harry who was nonplussed at their reaction. "That is the basic plan, the lawsuit stated that Foxy was never to be recommissioned unless there were extenuating circumstances. In this case, my solicitor says that the programming code counts."

Finally, pieces fell into place in Fritz's mind and he boggled at Harry. "Wait... I heard that Tony got killed and someone else had bought Freddy's... that was you!?"

All Harry did was smile and nod before he chuckled. "A number of the good memories in my rather bloody shite childhood involve Freddy's. And besides, my Aunt is there and I consider the animatronics family. Like hell I am not going to give them another chance."

Just as Jeremy was about to step forward, he caught something out of the corner of his eyes and paled. "Oh no..."

Everyone followed his gaze and froze with their eyes wide at the sight of a shadow similar in shape to Bonnie except for a rictus grin and two glowing white spots for eyes. Beside him, was a purple Freddy who seemed surrounded by shadows whose eyes were also white as it stared at them. Then both spoke as one. "IT'S ME."

Slightly nervous, Vicky was the closest to the two shadowy beings and held up her hands toward them. "Um... hi there? Nice to meet you, I'm Vicky and..." Both beings stared at her which caused a shiver to run down her spine. Shadow Bonnie seemed to flicker for a moment before it moved.

And the next thing that Vicky knew, she was sailing through the air and slammed into the wall with enough force that she felt her endoskeleton strain. His eyes wide, Andrew soon narrowed them and charged at the two as he noticed them seemingly floating toward the stunned Vicky. "LEAVE HER ALONE!" They turned toward him as he attempted to knock them away from her, but instead went through them as if they were nothing more then smoke. Andrew went to turn only to find the "Shadow Freddy" before it backhanded him and sent him skidding along the floor. "ARGH!"

However, that gave time for Vicky to leap to her feet as Rebecca rushed toward the fallen Andrew with a cry. "You went and picked on the wrong group you bastards!" Snatching the crowbar from where it had fallen, she swung it at them only for it to go through them. For several seconds she continued to do so until she stopped. "Crap."

Fritz had just managed to knock his cousin to the ground as Vicky went flying through the air where they had stood. "Okay... the freaky shit level just went off the charts..."

Rushing to where Vicky was, Harry glanced over to Fritz. "What the hell are those things!?"

Shivering against the ground, Jeremy gulped. "Sh-Shadow Bonnie and Shadow Fr-Freddy... they just appear out of nowhere and stare if you g-got the mask on. B-but I don't k-know how they doing this!"

With a growl, Shadow Bonnie turned toward where Harry was helping Vicky up. "Freddy Fazbear's... must... DIE!"

All Harry had time for was for his eyes to widen as Shadow Bonnie launched itself at didn't reach him though as Veronica placed herself between them. "Like the hell you're going to hurt him!" None of them were as surprised as Shadow Bonnie when Veronica managed to grab hold of his arms and hold him in place, her eyes glowing malevolently. "You want to hurt him or the children... then you'll have to... go through... ME!"

She screamed in pure rage as she headbutted Shadow Bonnie and made him stumble back as she let go of one arm. Then Veronica yanked on the other arm to pull him in before planting one closed fist into his face and sending him flying. Having overcome his shock, Shadow Freddy was about to charge at Veronica as she leapt toward Shadow Bonnie. But then he felt something on his shoulder and turned to see Rose, her eyes black except for two white pin-pricks as she pulled back one fist. "You're mine!"

Foxy had been rushing toward where he had heard the screams and shouting coming from, only needing to dodge as Shadow Freddy nearly slammed into him. "Wha' in the heck?!"

Turning toward him, Harry shouted at Foxy. "GET OUT OF THERE! NORMAL ANIMATRONICS CAN'T AFFECT THEM!"

Sensing something, Foxy dodged to the side in a combat roll just as Shadow Freddy tried to take off his head. "Arrr, yeh be wanting ter harm me friends then? Well, have at yeh!" Instead of fighting though, Foxy dodged around him, leaping here and there as well as rolling just out of reach of the strikes. "Yeh be slower then a drunken urchin, Ar-ar-ar!"

As he kept an eye on both fights, Harry gritted his teeth. "Aya, do you have any idea what the hell those things are?"

There was a silence before Aya answered. 'They seem to be like... what makes up the Black Mass as well as myself. But at the same time they're not.' Both her and Harry winced as one lucky hit caused Veronica to stumble back some before she shook it off and charged back in. 'What I don't understand is how it is that Rose and Veronica can affect them and the others can't... unless...'

For a brief moment, Harry felt his heart stop as he came to the same realization. 'Unless they're somehow related...'

His heart pounding, Jeremy got to his feet only to see Foxy rushing toward him screeching. The former guard's entire body locked up due to flashbacks only for Foxy to shove him to the side. "Ugh!" Suddenly the sound of strained metal filled the room and Jeremy whipped around to see Foxy pinned against the wall with Shadow Bonnie's hand through his stomach, the costume around it slowly turning black and rotting as Foxy had his mouth open in a silent scream. A look to where he had been showed Jeremy that Veronica was slowly rising to her feet. 'He... saved me?'

Shadow Bonnie glared into Foxy's terrified eye and chuckled. "FREDDY... KILLED US... SUITS... FAILED... NOW WE WILL... MAKE SURE THAT FREDDY'S... IS DESTROYED..."

It raised one fist up to Foxy's head height and pulled it back. Then it's fist shot forward...

Only to stop as a human hand wrapped in black mist grabbed it and held it in place. "I think not..."

A hissing sound filled the air as Shadow Bonnie's head turned to see Harry glaring at it with his eyes pitch black and pinprick white pupils. There was also a dark mist that covered his body and seemed to seep from his eyes as he tightened his hold, the spot being from which the sound came. "Guurgh..."

Slowly, Harry pushed Shadow Bonnie's arm back, both his own and the ghostly animatronic's limbs shaking from the strain of fighting each other. Harry suddenly smirked as a rictus grin overlaid his own face and his already wild hair seemed to move on it's own. "Guess what time it is? It's time to kick your bleeding ARSE back to hell!"

Jeremy could only stare as Harry grabbed Shadow Bonnie's other arm and slowly forced it out of Foxy, the wounded animatronic falling to the floor. A moment later the mist seemed to become more like a cloak around Harry and small, bloodshot eyes opened in it and looked everywhere. "WHAT THE HELL IS THAT!?"

Having dodged past the fighting Rose and Shadow Freddy, Erika grasped his hand and helped to haul him to his feet. "Even though I have never seen it myself, I'm guessing that would be what Harry and the others call the 'Black Mass'."

That caused her professor to stare at her before his eyes were caught by the sight of Harry slugging Shadow Bonnie in the stomach and causing it to stagger. "Black Mass?"

Slowly, Erika nodded around the lump in her throat as she could feel the temperature drop. "You know all the guards who have gotten killed at Freddy's? Yeah... that's kind of what happened to them... thankfully, they like Harry."

Shadow Freddy had just thrown Rose away from it, obviously having gotten hurt from her attacks and snarled at Harry. "WHY!? YOU... LIKE... US! WHY... YOU PROTECT... FREDDY'S?!"

All that caused was for Harry to whip his head around and snarl. "WE'RE NOTHING LIKE YOU!" The rictus grin then grew on Harry's face. "Besides... we're guards, it's what we do."

However, the conversation served it's purpose and distracted Harry enough for Shadow Bonnie to slug him in the face and send him flying. Shadow Freddy grinned at this, only to hear a screech behind him and he turned to see Veronica rushing toward him as she leaked black ichor from her mouth. "You dare harm a child in front of me?! I'LL RIP YOU APART! SKREEEEE!"

Then Veronica was upon him, her claws ripping and tearing at Shadow Freddy. Soon, she was joined by Rose, who was equally enraged. Ignoring this, Shadow Bonnie continued to walk toward Harry who slowly got to his feet. 'I don't know how much longer I can keep this up for, Aya. I'm getting tired and it feels like I'm freezing and burning here...' He hid his wince as he flexed his hand. 'Not to mention the pins and needles...'

With an internal frown, Aya sighed. 'I know Harry, I know. But we only really need to distract him long enough for Rose and Veronica to rip apart that Freddy wannabe...'

Seeing the incoming punch, Harry blocked it with one arm and heard his bone creek under the pressure. And if that was not bad enough, he could see the blood vessels under his paling skin blackening. 'It can't happen soon enough.'

Another punch sent him skidding across the floor, his back hitting the wall. One of his eyes then focused in on his hammer that was on the floor that he had brought just in case, the very same one that he had used to destroy the Marionette. Harry could just feel the grin Aya had as she whispered to him. 'You thinking what I'm thinking?'

A chuckle ripped through Harry's throat as he reached out for it, a stream of mist extending from his hand. 'If it worked on one animatronic...' The mist reached the hammer an encircled around it's handle before yanking it to Harry's hand before he spun around and swung it. "It should work on another!"

The hammer, wrapped in the same black mist as Harry, impacted Shadow Bonnie's leg at the knee. With the sound of snapping and the screech of metal giving way, the entire joint bent sideways under the hit. As he fell to his knee, Shadow Bonnie screamed in Harry's face. "SKREEEEEEE"

Harry's reply was to swing the hammer again and hitting him in the face, crumpling half of Shadow Bonnie's head in. "Well, bloody fuck you too!"

Another screech caused Harry to look to where the badly damaged Shadow Freddy had finally knocked off Veronica and Rose and was charging him. Before it managed to reach him though, a shout caught all their attention. "HEY!" Everyone turned toward the door to the office to see a grinning Michelle who lifted up a spray can and a lighter. "Forget about me?"

Shadow Freddy only had a moment to widen his eyes before Michelle turned on the lighter and pressed the spray can's button. With a whoosh, a stream of flame shot out and hit the shadow animatronic head on causing it to screech as it tried to bat away the flames. Her attack though only lasted a couple of seconds as Shadow Freddy rushed her through the stream of flames. She was forced to drop the spray can and lighter as it tried to take her head off with a swipe of it's paws. "MICHELLE!!"

Rolling back to her feet, Michelle grimaced at the sight of the shadow animatronic, which had large amounts of it's costume burnt off in it's face and uppet torso. "Okay... that didn't work..." As she dodged another swipe, Michelle reached into her pockets. 'Let's see if the old heirloom from grandpa that mom passed down to me will help...'

Once more trying to swipe at her head, Shadow Freddy was surprised as Michelle ducked under his arm while pulling her hands out of her pockets to reveal brass knuckles that seemed to have crystals on them. Then she punched him in the jaw hard enough to stagger the animatronic. Before he could recover, Michelle followed up with another punch that loosened the jaw. Suddenly, Rose was behind him and pinned Shadow Freddy's arms above his head. "You weren't the only one that he forgot about..."

With a screech, Veronic leapt over Michelle and plunged her claw into the struggling animatronic's chest. "GO! HELP HARRY, WE GOT THIS!"

Nodding, Michelle rushed toward Harry as Shadow Bonnie got up and picked up an axe laying on the floor. "Harry! Catch!"

She threw it along the floor and Harry caught it with the mist wrapping around it as he turned and swung it in an upward arc...

Which caused th axe to embed itself almost entirely in Shadow Bonnie's crotch area. Harry wince a bit as did the other males there. "Er... I meant to do that?"

As he slowly stumbled back to his feet, Shadow Bonnnie's only functioning eye glowed. "GOING... TO... RIP... YOUR... GUTS... OUT!" Not even a moment later, it's head was knocked to the side as Michelle punched him. "GUH!"

Harry held the axe in one hand after having yanked it out of Shadow Bonnie and the hammer in the other as Michelle got into position beside him. "How the hell are you doing that!?"

Blowing some of her bangs away from her eyes, Michelle glanced at the brass knuckles and shrugged. "No clue actually. All I know is that my grandfather on my mother's side used them during World War II at some Nazi castle while he was in the OSS. Said that there was nothing that the Nazis had that they couldn't beat the shit out of. Always did go on about 'Paranormal Nazi bullshit'." At his look, she shrugged again. "I just figured that they might be useful if we ever fought another animatronic."

After a moment, Harry nodded a bit. "Makes sense..." Narrowing his eyes as he ignored how Shadow Freddy was rapidly losing to Rose and Veronica, he grinned. "Let's do this!"

Working together, Michelle distracting Shadow Bonnie as Harry weilded both weapons to damage it, Shadow Bonnie did not last long. Finally, the Shadow animatronic collapsed to the ground and stilled. After Shadow Freddy's crippled body was thrown next to Shadow Bonnie's, Rose shook her head. "Why did you attack us? What are you?"

There was stillness before Shadow Bonnie raised one finger and pointed at both Rose and Veronica as his voice glitched. "L-l-like... th-th-them... di-died wh-wh-when sui-sui-suits fa-failed... P-p-pain... b-b-blood... Bo-bodies clea-clea-cleaned out... g-g-gone in-into th-th-thin air... M-management..."

Shadow Freddy then continued even though his jaw was nearly gone. "N-n-n-need... t-t-to d-de-destroy Fre-Fred-Freddy's... K-k-kill... ma-man-management..."

With a scowl, Aya poked her head out of Harry's shoulders and glared at them. "You're both too late for that, they're already dead. And as to Freddy's, Harry is nothing like them and would not let what happened to you and us to happen to anyone else on his watch."

However, she didn't get an answer from the two as at that moment, the lights in their eyes died and their bodies dissolved into black mist that seeped into the floors. With a sigh, Harry felt Aya leave his body as did the Black Mass while his eyes went back to normal. "Guess it's over..." Suddenly, it felt like he had not slept in days and the world tilted crazily as he stumbled, everything catching up to him. "Wha..."

As the world seemed to blur and swirl around him, Harry barely felt the floor as he fell back and hit it. Not even a moment later, Michelle's blurry face filled his sight as she talked to him. But to Harry, it sounded as if he was underwater as her voice was muffled and seeming to come from far away. "Harry? HARRY!? STAY WITH US!" Then darkness claimed him and he knew no more...
