Mono lay splayed on his back. The force from the explosion must have knocked him out. He opened his eyes and groaned in exasperation. He was back at the place again. The decaying framework of the building looked even more dilapidated than the last time Mono was here. He didn't like that. Mono sat up and looked around, the floor of the building looked even more unsteady and the large crevices revealed the blue creature that seemed to stalk him wherever he went. Mono couldn't see much other than the rustling feathers that looked like bubbling water. Above the crevice was a yellow ball of energy that pulsated violently as if it were trying to escape. It stayed like that before descending into the sea of feathers. The ball of energy seemed to shudder violently as if it were fighting against the force but it was no use as it sank beneath the feathers. Suddenly the scaffolding began to groan and twist.
YOU REALLY ARE AN IDIOT...
The same voice that had been tormenting Mono echoed around the room.
YOU HAD YOUR CHANCE TO LEAVE THIS ALL BEHIND... BUT YOU JUST HAD TO KEEP GOING...
Something was different. The voice wasn't inside Mono's head. It was as if it had a physical body to speak through.
THERE WILL COME A TIME WHERE THIS PATH WILL END... AND I'LL BE THE ONE... WATCHING YOU FALL OFF THE EDGE...
Mono grabbed a loose brick and hurled it into the crevice. It bounced harmlessly off the feathers. The voice chortled.
AWWWW... THE LITTLE BABY IS TRYING TO STAND UP TO HIMSELF...
Mono picked up another brick and threw it at the crevice. He wanted the voice to shut up. He wanted to be left alone.
THROW ALL THE THINGS YOU WANT AT ME YOU LITTLE SHIT... THIS IS THE LAST CHANCE YOU CAN DO SO... WHEN YOU FACE ME... YOU WON'T EVEN HAVE A CHANCE TO REACH FOR ANYTHING...
The floor started to shake. The scaffolding above finally snapped. Splinters of wood and twisted metal rained down from above. Mono tripped forward and went tumbling down the crevice. The feathers parted to reveal thousands upon thousands of grinning human mouths.
ENJOY YOUTUBE WHILE IT LASTS...
...
Mono woke up in a cold sweat. He was still in the daycare, but it was in ruins. The ceiling had collapsed and parts of the floor had fallen away into an endless abyss. Parts of the play structures were strewn about on the uneven floor, evidence of the earlier scuffle. Mono looked next to himself and found Isaac staring at him intently. Mono looked around again and saw Susie and Hat Kid at the edge of a chasm. They seemed to be discussing something. Mono stood up and limped over, Isaac followed him. Hat Kid noticed them, her face looked discomforted for a moment then she regained composure. Susie turned around and smiled, although it looked strained.
"You are awake child," they said smoothly, "Are you okay?"
Mono nodded.
"I believe we have much to discuss."
Mono shifted uncomfortably under Susie's gaze.
"First," began Susie as they gestured to the chasm, "Does this look familiar to you?"
Mono looked inside and his blood ran cold. He could see bright blue feathers at the bottom of the chasm. The rustling was barely audible but Mono could hear it. This wasn't a nightmare. It was real.
"Yes," he said softly, "I've been having bad dreams. Something was talking to me. There were always blue feathers."
Hat Kid looked like she wanted to say something but Susie held up their hand. Hat Kid remained silent.
"Can you describe these dreams to me," said Susie slowly, "What did it say?"
Mono looked again into the chasm. The last thing he wanted was to relive those nightmares. But it was no use. He had to tell somebody sometime. Why not now? He told them everything from his nightmares. The cage-like building. The yellow ball of energy. The way the voice threatened him to stay out of its way. The thing with too many mouths. That part seemed to get a slight reaction from Susie. But otherwise, they were good listeners. When Mono finished, Susie stood still for a moment then turned to Hat Kid.
"I believe that you were put an assignment to investigate the increasing number of Twitter user attacks," they said, "Did Banhammer assign it to you personally?"
"Yes," Hat Kid answered, "But I would have never known that he worked for... whatever that thing was."
"He told about Freddy Fazbear," murmured Mono, "He said he was still angry about that."
Hat Kid whirled around and stared at Mono in suspicion and anger.
"How did you know?" she snapped and she grabbed Mono by the shirt, "No one was in the room with us. Was that baby with you?"
"Calm down..." said Susie shortly, "The last thing we need is to turn on each other. Especially when dealing with Twitter."
"So that was what that thing was?" said Hat Kid as she released Mono, "Twitter?"
"I don't know," muttered Susie, "From what we know now, whoever is behind all of this is operating through Twitter. It may be the embodiment of Twitter but websites have never been known to develop personalities or physical forms. This may be the first time such a thing has happened."
Susie seemed lost in thought.
"This Twitter entity mentioned YouTube. Do you think it may be its next target?" suggested Hat Kid.
"If it is, it would have already done it by now," muttered Susie distractedly, "YouTube Kids has been compromised so it would have found a way to get into the main website. And now with Banhammer having betrayed us, YouTube would have nothing to defend itself from such an attack."
"Well, then why are we standing here," said Mono, "We could know more about Twitter's motives if we see it in the act."
"Agreed," concluded Susie, "I am going to send you three to the outskirts of YouTube. Mono, if the situation gets out of hand, you must find the nearest television and get the others out of here. Once we regroup, we will discuss our next course of action."
Before Mono could ask how Susie was going to transport them to YouTube, they clapped her hands three times and Mono's vision erupted in bright light. When it cleared, Mono found himself, Hat Kid and Isaac on top of a music studio. Mono looked around and realized they were too late. The sounds of chaos below were deafening. YouTube was in anarchy.
