Saphira ran towards the lift as quickly as she could. She had her hands on her stomach as she ran as running was extremely uncomfortable and painful. She had no choice as she did not want to be caught by the animatronics. She hated that she had to run from them, but Glitchtrap has infiltrated their system, and he has taken over. She hated the fact that she was right about her birthday. There was a reason why she never celebrated her birthday, and she now had another reason because it always seemed bad things would happen to her.

She stopped as Roxy ran in front of her, looking at her with her teeth bared and hands raised. "Why do you flee?" She asked in a cold, slow tone. Saphira stepped back from the wolf nervously. Roxy stepped closer in a stalking stance. "Don't be scared. I can help."

"You can help by keeping away from her!" Happy Frog snapped, startling Saphira as Happy Frog ran in front of Saphira, making Roxy flinch and frown at the frog animatronic. "I know this isn't you. Stop controlling her, Glitchtrap! She doesn't belong to you!"

"Who are you talking to?" Roxy asked with a smirk. "Talking to ghosts, I see." She chuckled slowly as Saphira continued backing away nervously. She was thinking on what to do now, and her only option was Rockstar Row now. "Move aside, Happy Frog! I don't want to hurt you."

Happy Frog just frowned Roxy. She knew that it wasn't Roxy talking to her now, even though hurt Roxy was the last thing she wanted. But she had to do what she must. Saphira herself didn't know how she was going to get to Rockstar Row. Chica was being kept distracted by Foxy and Foxette for the moment, which pretty much left Freddy, Monty and Bonnie, and those three may not be so easily distracted.

"Super star." She shivered when she heard his slow, deep, cold tone call out to her. "Why are you running from me?" She looked at him as Mr Hippo stepped in front of Freddy. Freddy did not look at Mr Hippo and looked past his shoulder. "Come to my arms and we will share in each other's pure bliss and pleasure."

Saphira grimaced a little as tears fell from her eyes. "Saphira!" She looked up as Moon jumped down at her from above. "Grab hold! And hold on tight!" She shrieked as he scooped her up suddenly and Bonnie tried to lunge at them as Moon lifts her up.

She was surprised as she held her arms around him tightly. "Uh…h-how c-can you hold me?"

"I might look very weak and lanky with my thin body, but I am strong," Moon responded with a light chuckle. "I'll take you to Rockstar Row." She looked down as Freddy, Monty and Bonnie shoved Mr Hippo, Orville and Pigpatch to the side to chase them. "But I am going to take a secret way to try and confuse them."

"Won't Glitchtrap know about it?" Saphira asked curiously as she was worried and scared. "Uh, I know y-y-you a-a-are trying to help…but if Glitchtrap used y-y-your system, he w-w-will know the secret ways through the pizzaplex."

Moon looked at her as he realized she was correct. "Ugh, I am a fool! I did not even think of that!" He looked down at the animatronics and he moved on his line anyway. "This is better than you running around anyway, Saphira. I can get right in Freddy's room…and I might be able to stop him long enough for you to get to the office."

Saphira didn't know if he could. Moon was smaller than Freddy, and she didn't believe he could stop Freddy, nor could he stop Bonnie and, especially, not Monty. "Well…thanks…" She took deep breaths as she kept hold of Moon tightly. "My whole body is going to be screaming at me tomorrow after running like that…but if Glitchtrap hadn't taken over the animatronic mainframe, I think I would be good."

"He's so bad!" Moondrop said angrily. "He must be punished! He ruined my system, now he's ruining the others." He shakes his head and she flinched as he swing into a gap of the wall that opened for Moon. It really to explain how he was able to move around the facility with ease. "I will keep you as safe as I can, Saphira. Just hold onto me tight, and you will not fall."

Saphira was still worried about falling, even if she was holding onto Moon and he was also holding her with one arm. He didn't need both arms to navigate through the pizzaplex on his strong. She didn't know what was going to happen. Tears fell from her eyes as she wished that today had gone differently, even if it proved why she didn't celebrate her birthday. Another bad thing happened on her birthday, and she may not celebrate it again next year.

Moon swung into Rockstar Row and she looked down to see Bonnie and Monty looking up at her with glares. She did not see Freddy, and she wondered where he was. Mr Hippo, Orville and Pigpatch ran into Rockstar Row and began to stall them again, but something simply didn't seem right. Freddy was not there, and that may mean he could be in the atrium, but she doubted it. She felt he was somewhere else.

"Moon, Freddy has disappeared somewhere," Saphira said as Moon swung closer to Freddy's room. "I don't that is good…" She looked at the window and saw the curtains were drawn closed, which meant they could not see if Freddy was inside there or not. She looked at Roxy's room next to Freddy's and looked at Moon. "Take me into Roxy's room instead."

Moon looked at her in surprise. "Why? Freddy's room is the furthest from the atrium."

"That might be the case, Moon. But I have a feeling Freddy is in his room waiting for us. And I don't want to give that to Glitchtrap. The curtain at Freddy's room is the only one drawn closed, and he might be in there." Moon listened to her and he was close enough to Roxy's room at the moment so he decided to change course. Saphira saw that and she sighed in relief. "Thanks for listening, Moon. I am sure you wanted to do the right thing, but Glitchtrap doesn't want to play the same game."

"I will make sure to not put you in directly harm's way." He swung towards the top of the window of Roxy's room and Saphira watched another part of the wall open for him. "It's amazing that I can get through the whole pizzaplex this way."

"Yeah, just like DJ Music Man." Saphira was happy Glitchtrap did not send that giant animatronic after her, as the animatronics were more than enough. "I guess Springtrap had the entire place planned out for animatronics that can go through the building and no one would even know. It's pretty ingenious."

Moon lowers himself quickly by the backroom door, and Saphira lets him go, walking towards the door as it opened into the backroom. "Whatever the reason, it is helping today." He gasped as he looked towards Roxy's door and looked at her. "Get to the elevator now! Freddy's coming!" She nodded as she ran towards the elevator with a grimace and hit the button to open the door. "Freddy! Stop right there!"

"Super star!" Freddy shouted as she heard him running to the backroom. "Do not run!" She stepped inside the elevator as the backroom door opened. She saw his shadow and he walked towards the door as she hits the button to head to Parts and Service and the close door button. "Saphira!" She jumped as his voice changed to anger as the doors closed. She saw him step up to the doors and yelped as she heard a punch at the door. She was relieved when the elevator began to move and she now had a chance to get to the office.

Saphira stood against the wall as she was extremely nervous right now. She didn't know what was going to happen when she makes it to the office. She didn't blame the animatronics at all. She wished she had already taken action against Glitchtrap to prevent this from happening. She was angry with herself mostly. She waited and waited to perfect the antivirus that was more than enough to stop him. But she had to be a perfectionist. This was about her life, and the life of her twins, and she realized all bets had to be off the table now. The trojan horse was almost ready, and she would use it as soon as she could to dissolve Glitchtrap from the system completely.

But she had to deal with this first. Once the elevator doors open into the hallway, Saphira ran as quickly as she could. She made sure to keep well balanced as she did not wish to fall due to her unbalance from her pregnancy. She was hoping that Moon and the others would be okay, because she didn't know if Glitchtrap would use the animatronics to hurt anyone. He hasn't yet. But the yet part was the most concerning.

Once she door opened onto the ledge behind the cylinder, she sighed in relief. She walked down the stairs quickly, rubbing her stomach as she made her way to the office door. She thought about setting up the cylinder for maintenance, but she didn't have time. If she did that, Glitchtrap would have the animatronics in Parts and Service before she was done. She just needed to get to the office quickly.

"There you are!" Monty's shout of glee startled Saphira as she reached for the door handle. He had taken his elevator and she opened the door to try and run up the stairs quickly. "It is party time!" He laughed as she heard him running. "Get back here!"

"And this is what I am talking about! Strike!" Bonnie's voice added and she was surprised as she hadn't expected him, but that meant the bots had gotten around Mr Hippo, Orville and Pig patch. She hoped they were alright. "Why don't you come to the bowling alley, Saphira? We could use a special pin to get a great strike!"

She grimaced as she hoped up the stairs, breathing heavily as she reached the top of the stairs. She felt like she had to sit down, but she couldn't. She heard the door behind her open as she reached for her office door and closed it, locking it behind her. She knew it wouldn't hold for long, but it was enough time for her. She looked around and walked over to the desk quickly to grab her folder that she used to conceal the laptop.

She turned to head to the animatronic mainframe as the office elevator doors open and she turned to see Freddy. She gasped with wide eyes as she had not expected him to be here. She held onto the folder as she backed away nervously. He was glaring at her, and observing the folder curiously. "What have you got there, super star?"

"N-Nothing t-th-that concerns you, Glitchtrap," Saphira responded nervously as more tears fall from her eyes. "What a-a-are y-you trying to do? Y-You h-have a-a-already succeeded in s-s-scaring me, congrats. W-What more do you want?"

Freddy just smiled at her and she shivered as she did not like this smile. With Glitchtrap in control, she couldn't even recognize the Glamrock Freddy she had fallen in love with. "I want you do hand over whatever you have in your hands, and you can go back to your happy, little, birthday party." He stepped closer and she stepped back from him. She jumped as Bonnie and Monty began banging on the door. "This is your birthday, super star. Be a good girl and hand it over. You will not keep me out, and you will not win."

"Please…" She stepped back again. "Is this even w-w-what Springtrap wants?"

Freddy growled suddenly and narrowed his eyes at her. "He and I are on different terms now. I don't care what Springtrap wants! He's already decided to infect some human child with his mind control…" So Moon was right! "Thanks to Vanessa, of course. But I am in control! Hand it over, and no harm will come to you, super star." He stepped closer and she stepped back again as the door behind her open. "Don't you dare."

"FREDDY! STOP!" Freddy turned his head as the elevator doors open again and he widened his eyes as Mr Hippo, Pigpatch and Orville jump at him. Darren ran in as well and Freddy began to violently tug against the grip of the three animatronics. Darren looked at Saphira and waved at her. "Go and do what you need to do, Saphira! Roxy and Chica will be here soon, so will Monty and Bonnie! Free them from Glitchtrap NOW!"

Saphira just nodded as she walked across the catwalk quickly and into the animatronic mainframe. Once she was inside, she broke down into sobs. She was overwhelmed by so many feelings and she had to let out some of her tears. But she regained control of herself quickly as she knew she needed to free the animatronics. She walked over to each of the animatronic individual systems, and she could see the Glitchtrap virus within Freddy's, Chica's, Monty's, Roxy's, Bonnie's and DJ Music Man's systems.

But she wanted to make sure all the animatronics could receive the new antivirus. She grabbed the laptop out of the folder and turned it on. She brought up the antivirus before plugging in the cord into the system and activating the antivirus transfer into the animatronic system. "Get out of my Freddy! He will never be yours!" She hits enter and antivirus transferred immediately.

She watched as the systems were wiped from code suddenly and jumped when she heard something falling in the office heavily. She took deep breaths and removed the computer from the system. She saw that the antivirus was live in the mainframe and she smiled as she saw that the Glitchtrap virus was gone. Even DJ Music Man's system was completely clear. She felt a sense of relief as the weight of that fear was gone. She now just had to get rid of Glitchtrap from the pizzaplex system for good.

She watched the individual systems of the animatronics, and she saw that Roxy, Bonnie, Chica, Monty and DJ Music Man come online normally as they should. Freddy's was taking longer. She walked over to the screen, watching with worry as she feared something happened. But she was relieved when she saw the correct code and memories load, along with the new antivirus now written into his software.

She grabbed her folder and walked out of the room, feeling exhausted. She felt aches and pains all over her body. She needed someone to give her a good massage. She let out some more tears and sobs as she saw still feeling a heap of emotions. As Saphira walked into the office, she gasped as she saw Freddy laying on his back on the floor. His eyes were closed and he didn't appear to be online at the moment.

Monty and Bonnie were in the room, they both had very guilty, sad expressions on their faces. And she saw their stomach hatches had damage, as did their hands. Bonnie looked at Saphira sadly. "We are very, very sorry, Saphira. We had no idea that this…"

"It wasn't your fault," Saphira interrupts with her voice cracking. She placed the folder on the desk before walking over to Freddy and dropping to her knees with a groan. "Freddy." She crawled closer to him and placed her hands on his cheeks. She could see some cracks in his hand casings and face casing, but she knew they could simply be replaced. "Freddy? Please wake up! It wasn't your fault." There was no response and she laid her head on his chest. She could hear the strange hummed within his chest that she has gotten to know as his heart. "Please wake up…I need you."

"Saphira!" She looked up slightly as the elevator opened. Roxy, Chica, Happy Frog, Foxy and Foxette walk inside. Chica was holding a closed pizza box and Saphira noticed that all the animatronics had damage to their bodies. Chica walked closer to her with a sad expression. "I am so, so sorry that we almost hurt you. Even if we were controlled." She grumbled and shook her head. "I can remember it all, and it was like I had no control of my own body."

"That's how it felt to be me." Sun walked into the office from Parts and Service, seemingly drained. Saphira saw his face plate was damaged, and she guessed Freddy might have caused it. "I am glad you are unharmed, Saphira. I tried to stop him. Freddy knocked me out."

"It is okay. I got here in time." She kept her head laying on his chest as she caressed his face. "None of this is your fault."

"We know. Man, this sucks!" Roxy grumbled as she placed her hands on her arms. "And I thought my system was the best…but I guess not." Happy Frog gave Roxy a slightly amused looked. "I…I just need a little time, I think. I don't want to hurt people, and…" She looked down at her hands and frowned. "And I had some monster control me to do that! I am not happy…" Roxy flinched as the monitors on the screen suddenly filled with white static.

Saphira looked up nervously and looked at her computer screen. She saw it go blank, and she knew that Glitchtrap was going to send her message. She forced him out of the animatronic systems. Now he had to worry about the main pizzaplex system. She knew once the pizzaplex was under her control, she would be safer. But she still did not know what Springtrap planned, especially now there was a kid under his control.

Well done, little thing. You forced me out of controlling your precious animatronics. But don't think you will get away with this. I'll get back at you. And I will win. I always do.

An image of a man dressed in a rabbit costume appeared. The image points to the throat and makes the slicing motion. Saphira frowned as the threat was unsurprising. She sniffled and looked at Freddy's face as the monitors got black as Glitchtrap leaves her alone. She was more interested in him than some virus.

She leaned closer to his face and kissed his lips. "I love you, Freddy. I guess your system needs time to wake up." She laid her head back down onto his chest. She moved her legs to move his right hand closer and she grabbed it to place his hand on her back, even though he wasn't awake to hug her. "I am right here."

Monty looked at Mr Hippo as the animatronic stood by with a sad expression. "This kind of reminds me of what happened when you rescued Saphira, Mr Hippo." He looked at the gator animatronic in surprise. "That was the first time Saphira ever called you dad. I don't think I ever seen her so desperate." He huffed a little and looked back down at Saphira. "But I guess she knows the system is still fine."

"She does." Mr Hippo crouches, looking at Saphira kindly. "I am so, terribly sorry that your birthday was ruined, Saphira."

"This is why I don't celebrate," Saphira said with a light sob. "Bad things always happen on my birthday. It does not matter if it is Glitchtrap taking over the animatronics and have them chase me, or my dad…dragging me by the throat to…uh…receive…the number of lashes of how old I was. Every year."

"Wait, what?" Darren blinked in shock and frowned in disgust. "Your father used to whip the number of years you have been alive?" Saphira nodded and Darren groaned in disbelief. "That…that is shocking."

Tears continued to flow from Saphira's eyes and she huddled against Freddy's body. "I d-don't think I w-w-will want to celebrate my birthday anymore…it o-only brings pain…bad things always happen." She sobbed some more and Darren walked over to place his hand on her back to rub gently. "Now d-d-do you understand?"

"I do understand," Mr Hippo said gently, surprising all of the animatronics. "However, bad things don't always last forever, Saphira. The way I see it, you are turning things around now." She shakes her head and continued to sob. "We might not really see it now, but…I think you have Glitchtrap where we want him now. And hopefully gone completely." He placed his hand on her head and rubbed gently. "Next year will be better, you will see. We only have a few weeks until Christmas. And then it will be the new year."

"I-I d-d-don't w-w-want to celebrate Christmas either," Saphira stuttered through her sobs. "I…" She looked at up at Freddy's face and sniffled loudly. "Wake up, Freddy. Please…it w-wasn't your fault. I am sorry I-I didn't stop him before today." She laid her head back down onto his chest. "I am sorry."

"It wasn't your fault either, Saphira," Mr Hippo reassured her with a smile. "You could not have predicted that Glitchtrap would have done this on your birthday." She didn't care as she still felt partly at fault. "You are strong, Saphira. Remember that. We see you as a very strong person, and we love you."

Saphira didn't respond to him as she continued to sob into Freddy's chest. She gasped when she felt his hand move up gently along her back and she looked up to see his eyes open, looking at her sadly. "I love you too, Saphira," He said gently. She sat back in shock, allowing Freddy to sit up slowly. "I am so sorry. Do you forgive me? I…I wasn't myself, and I had no control. I only saw what happened."

Saphira threw her arms around his shoulders immediately and he held her against him as she sobbed into the crook of his neck. "Of c-c-course I forgive you. I-I love you, Freddy. It w-w-wasn't you." She sniffed loudly and kissed his cheek. "I-I am just glad you a-a-are awake."

"I apologize, Saphira," Freddy said gently as he rubbed her back. "My system took a while to boot up. It is a flaw in my system." She wasn't aware of that, but she would look into it when she had time. "But there is no need to worry, I am awake, Saphira." He kissed her cheek gently and looked down at her stomach. "I am…terribly sorry about possibly stressing you and the twins…" He placed his hand on her stomach to caress gently. "I owe you a lot after tonight."

She shakes her head and looks into his eyes. "You owe me nothing. Just being here is enough." She leaned in and the two kiss passionately as she felt relief now that he was awake. "I will want a back and foot rub though. My whole body aches."

"I have no doubt." He smiled at her before kissing her passionately some more. "I don't imagine running while carrying two little humans within you is easy. Especially when they're supposed to be a blend of living metal and flesh."

"It was not."

Chica stepped closer, still holding the pizza box uncertainly. "Uh…I know you don't wish to, uh, remember today…" Saphira and Freddy look up at the animatronic curiously. "But your birthday pizza was delivered when this was happening. Did you want me to eat it or…"

"I will eat it," Saphira responded with a slightly smirk. "I am hungry. All that running made me…" She tensed with a sudden gasp of surprise. Freddy flinched and pulled his hand back from her stomach in surprise. "Oh…" She looked down at her stomach with a smile.

"What did I just feel?" Freddy asked in confusion as his system tried to understand what he felt. He placed his hand back on Saphira's stomach, only to feel it again. "It feels like…kicking…"

Darren gasped and smiled as soon as he heard that. "Wait! The twins are kicking?"

Saphira nodded as happy tears replaced the tears of anguish and fear. "Yeah, they just kicked." She giggled softly as she looked at her stomach. "Ooh…do you feel that, Freddy?" Freddy was already intrigued as he felt movement underneath her skin. "One of them just backflipped…I think…but I felt two feet press on my belly."

"This is…this is amazing!" Freddy's smiled as this was an experience he never had before. "I did not think I would feel them moving. But this is fascinating and amazing! You're amazing, super star." She blushed and looked away from him. "You've done such good work." He kissed her cheek and looked down as he felt some more kicks. "I do hope they do not turn out to be a nuisance."

"It isn't like I can tie their legs together to stop them, Freddy," Saphira joked with a light chuckle. She sighed a little and kissed Freddy's nose, making him flinch suddenly in surprise, but he found he actually like it. "I love you. And I think the twins are letting you know they love you and me."

Freddy looked down at her stomach. "And I love you both as well. Both of you twins. And especially your mother." He looked back at her eyes and kissed her again. "Shall I move you to the couch so you are more comfortable."

"If you would not mind," Saphira responded with a slight yawn. "I cannot really get up from the floor on my own right now."

Freddy chuckled gently as he gently gathered Saphira and stood up from the ground, holding her in his arms as he stood up. Even though he looked like he had damage to his body, Saphira was glad he was functioning well. He placed her on the couch and Chica brought the pizza over to her. Saphira was quick to take the box and open it to grab out some of the slices to eat, rubbing her stomach in a circular motion with a happy smile.

Freddy looked at Sun with an apologetic expression. "I am sorry that I knocked you out, Sun."

"No, no! Don't apologize!" Sun responded quickly, raising his hands to show he was not upset. "I am not upset at you. At least you know what it was like for me when Glitchtrap had me under control." The animatronics nodded as they agree. "I need to head back. My face plate needs replacing, and that cannot be done in Parts and Service."

"How do you even get a maintenance check done?" Saphira asked curiously.

Sun seemed to get really nervous about how to respond. "Uh…I-I have my own personal machine that does it for me. It needs no human interaction reaction."

She wondered if that was true, but it was better to not press. "Alright, you'd better go. Darren…" She looked at the man with a smile. "I think you should start maintenance on all of them. Their system might be good, but they need to go to Parts and Service."

"Sounds like a plan." Darren looked at the animatronics with a smile. "Come on, gang. I think we should leave the couple alone. The party has been cancelled, unfortunately."

"Yeah…and I feel awful," Foxette said softly with a sad expression. "Another party has been ruined by Glitchtrap." She sighed deeply as her tails droop and she looked at Saphira with a smile. "We will check on you later, Saphira. And it is so exciting your twins are letting you know they're active."

Saphira smiled and nodded with a mouthful of pizza. The animatronics leave quietly, leaving her and Freddy alone. She stared at the door as they left for Parts and Service before looking at Freddy. He was standing there with so much guilt on his face, and her expression softened as she saw that. "It wasn't your fault, Freddy…"

"I know. I know…" He lifts his hands before clenching them. "But I saw the terror on your face…" He looked at her briefly before looking away. "I know you used to be terrified when we first met. You didn't even want to stand right beside us. But this was different." He walked over to the mirror on the wall and he saw the damage to his body. "I know that I was controlled by Glitchtrap…but what if Springtrap could do the same."

"Once we deal with Glitchtrap, I'll think of what to do about him," Saphira said gently. "And now that you are no longer at risk of being controlled, I can tell you some plans. I am almost done with making you new eyes."

"New eyes?" Freddy looked at her in surprise. "Why would we need them?"

"You cannot see Vanessa, remember? Not when she has that stupid costume on." Freddy nodded as he realized what she was talking about. "I have narrowed down the frequency, and you'll be able to see her. And maybe more. Plus, I already have a plan to take out Glitchtrap. Especially since the pizzaplex mainframe is right next door to the animatronic mainframe."

"Mmm…well…I do think Glitchtrap will pull something," Freddy said gently as he thought about it. "But that is good." He smiled at her and walked towards her. "I am glad we will have one issue dealt with. But Glitchtrap is within the Princess Quest arcade machines, right?" She nodded affirmatively. "But since they're not hooked up to the system, I guess that means destroying him completely will be easy."

"It will. But to destroy them means we need to come up with a reason. But…" She gasped and smiled when she felt another kick. "I think I'll have to get used to being interrupted." She rubbed her stomach with a light chuckle. "Thankfully, they're not throwing those feet and fists at the bladder yet."

"That sounds painful." Freddy stared at her stomach for a moment before looking at her eyes. "And did you mean what you said?" She frowned in confusion. "You won't celebrate your birthday anymore?"

"Maybe." She shrugged as she could not predict the next year. "Only if Springtrap is gone."

"Then we can give you a better, proper birthday," He said enthusiastically. "You deserve it, super star."

She was happy that he thought so, but Saphira was still on the fence. For the time being, Freddy remained with Saphira during the night. She knew Vanessa never came out to see what was going on. Or if she did, she didn't participate at all. She didn't really care. Saphira was exhausted, and she needed to put her feet up for the rest of the night. Freddy did go to Parts and Service and returned to the office with new casings. He still felt awful. She knew what had seen through his own eyes because of Glitchtrap would have horrible. Now he was weakened, and she would destroy him soon. Even though there was another issue of a brainwashed kid running around that they need to keep an eye out for.
