Getting the Protective Cylinder to repair the animatronic's casings automatically was quite the achievement. But as Darren has not yet returned, Saphira was rather concerned. She had expected him to be back, but it seemed that Springtrap was holding him down below. Saphira hoped that he was still alive at the very least. He didn't deserve a terrible fate, and they all knew it. He has been through a lot like Saphira has, and probably worse in the terms of what Springtrap has done to his body so far. They hoped he would return soon.
And Saphira had to check the apartment the next day without Darren being present while the animatronics went about their day in the pizzaplex. The fumes in the apartment were gone, and everything was finished. She was extremely happy and she spent the day moving her stuff in, and she began moving things into what would become the nursery. Saphira also had begun ordering a few other things for the nursery itself, and she did hope it would be delivered before she would give birth.
The other thing she did was stock the fridge and cupboard with good. She was happy that she would now have the room to cook properly, and not rely on the staff bots to bring her food. It was so good, and Saphira ended up cooking a steak for the first time in a long time. And she was super happy about it. Chica was extra excited because she got to watch Saphira cook closely. Even Freddy was fascinated by the cooking process.
Saphira did also do research on Gregory, and she discovered that the boy had indeed been here before. And he had come to the pizzaplex twice when he was younger with his parents. Saphira saw his parents were young, and their names were Elizabeth and Jonathan Yardley. She did wonder what happened after they did not come back, so she tried to look deeper into the past.
With the name, she figured out where Gregory went to school, and she learned he went into the foster system when he was seven. Saphira didn't find out why though. She looked up his parents, and she found no sign of a social media at all. But she did manage to find their names listed in the death records, which she checked out. It seemed his parents died from murder when Gregory was seven. So Saphira searched for any news about murder in that year and area.
And she found one. There was an article talking about a home invasion by an unknown suspect. She read through the article and learned that nothing in the house was stolen. Gregory's parents were stabbed multiple times by a large knife, and apparently, the boy did see the person. But he couldn't see their face because they wore a rabbit costume. Saphira felt anger as she realized that this could have been Vanessa. And sure enough, there was an image on a neighbor's CCTV with a screenshot of someone in a white, rabbit suit waving to the camera. And Saphira could tell the person inside the costume was female.
Vanessa killed Gregory's parents in order to have him put into the foster system and end up in that orphanage so that he could be brought here. This is some kind of cruel, calculated plan that has happened…poor kid.
Saphira didn't even know if Vanessa was brainwashed anymore. She knew Dave was, but she wasn't sure about Vanessa anymore. If she was willingly doing these things without being under the influence of Springtrap, then she is not someone who would change her ways. Saphira knew this, and she did not know if she wanted to deal with Vanessa for too much longer. She could be too dangerous, and Saphira knew it. Vanessa has shown she is scared of the animatronics though. And Saphira fully understood why, since she was terrified of the animatronics when she first arrived. They are much larger than a human, and it wouldn't take much for them to snap a human's neck. But then again, Monty is the scariest out of the animatronics due to his temper, and he isn't afraid to show intimidation when needed.
It was Wednesday now, it was the day of the midweek show. And the pizzaplex was PACKED! More packed then it would normally be on a Friday and Saturday. It was like it was Halloween or something, because every guest who was here were excited for the show. And it was not even a school vacation, so it was really a great turnout. Saphira was happy to see how full the pizzaplex was. But without Darren being present, she had to handle some of his work during the day as there was no one else who could do his work. It wasn't difficult thankfully, and Saphira was feeling better today too. She still could not talk very well, but it was better.
But Darren's disappearance did reveal something. The new eyes the animatronics had could not see into the endo factory or the basement. It actually was concerning because that meant if she was taken down there, they wouldn't be able to find her easily like they could in the pizzaplex. But Saphira made sure all the animatronics had new eyes now. Freddy himself was amazed at how much clearer his sight was with the new eyes. He went on about how there were colors that he could see that he never knew existed. Saphira didn't know what that meant, but she was amused when he spoke about it.
Saphira was feeling much more sluggish today too. And heavier. She didn't know why at the moment, but she was able to get what she wanted done before night came. It was just after eight, and the show would start in about thirty minutes. The animatronics were all in Parts and Service, getting ready for the show. Freddy mentioned that ever since he was hit in the neck by her father with the crowbar, he had been feeling off. He had not mentioned it until today as he said it was worse. But there was no time to fix it, and Saphira couldn't fix it at the moment. They were still waiting on Darren.
She was sitting in Parts and Service going over some things with the computer for the cylinder to see what else she could potentially upgrade in the future. There really was not much she could see that could be upgraded, but it was still something she considered. Plus, she was using it as an excuse to spend time with them before the show has started. And it seemed that the crowd has drawn Gregory out too. Mr Hippo said he saw the kid leave the dark parts of the building, and now he was among the other guests. And there was no way to see him right now.
"I cannot wait to show all the fans my perfect performance!" Roxy said in an enthusiastic, confident tone, running her hand through her hair and swinging her hips. She looked at Happy Frog and teased her hair playfully. "And I cannot wait to see your performance."
Happy Frog grinned and kissed Roxy quickly, making the wolf wag her tail happily. "And we both will be perfect on that stage." The two nuzzle each other lovingly and Saphira chuckled a little as she could hear the two of them even while she was looking at the screen. "I am quite happy to have a midweek show. All of our fans are waiting!"
"I am excited too!" Chica said enthusiastically, jumping up and down on the spot excitedly. "Being able to rock it out three times a week is so much fun!" She turned to Saphira with a smile. "I know this might be a lot, but do you think it is possible that there could be a new part added to the pizzaplex once Spacebridge is completed?" Saphira looked at the animatronic in surprise by the question. "Monty and Roxy have their own private stages, and while we have the karaoke lounge, there isn't an actual area in the pizzaplex to use for private performance parties. I had always wanted to do that, and there's still a lot of room."
Saphira pondered on the idea and nodded thoughtfully. "I will put that idea forward for you, Chica. Spacebridge should be done soon…it is just the Roxy Bumper Cars that we need to have finished. The workers are just so lazy with it."
"Tell me about it!" Roxy shook her head in disappointment as she thought about it. "The project started way before Spacebridge was even planned, and I have no idea why those workers are so lazy! There is always something wrong with it, and I almost think it should not be completed." Happy Frog looked at Roxy in surprise and the wolf rolled her eyes. "If it cannot be made, it should not be made at all. Might as well forget about it. I am not excited for it anymore."
"Roxy is kind of right about that," Bonnie said in an agreeing tone. "It was being worked on since you got here, Saphira, so I think it is time that it needs to be revaluated. Maybe it has a lot to do with Springtrap, but I don't know." He shrugged a little and put his glasses on. "But whatever happens, we don't really need more areas. The place is big enough as it is."
Saphira could not help but agree with that. She smiled at them as she thought on it. "Look, I have a lot on my plate at the moment, guys." She coughed a little as her throat was still sore, and her voice was dry, but she wasn't stuttering like she was before. "I don't want to think about a new area opening right now, because I really just am not feeling it."
"We know. It is not something that is important, to be fair." Mr Hippo placed a hand on his hip as he frowned at Roxy and Bonnie. "So please don't make it seem like it is important, we don't need Saphira to be really feeling more stress and worry." He looked at Saphira who was looking at him with a grateful expression. "I got your back, Saphira."
"I know…dad," Saphira responded with a light chuckle. "I might even go out to the atrium to watch the show. With how packed it is, I kind of want to see if I can spot Gregory in the crowd. I know I won't be able to catch him if he runs, but at least I could probably get close to him to talk." Saphira did know she had to be careful with Vanessa and Springtrap watching. And Vanessa was not really hiding much now either. "But I am not holding my breath."
"And we would prefer if you did not put yourself in a position to be in danger again," Mr Hippo warned gently. "I know, we want to help him too. But it feels like helping him would be at your expense. And we honestly do not want that to happen." He looked at Freddy as he noticed the bot rubbing his neck with a frown on his face. "And Freddy agrees with this too."
Freddy blinked and looked at Mr Hippo in surprise when he was spoken to. "Oh, I apologize. I had not realized you were speaking about me." Saphira looked at the bot as she could tell his mind was on something else. "The wiring that the crowbar hit on my neck just feels…itchy…I think that is the right word…I do not know what itchiness feels like."
Saphira smiled at him and placed a hand on his arm gently. "Don't worry, Freddy." She leaned a little to look at his neck and Freddy tilts his head slightly and she could see the wiring. "It looks loose…maybe I could fix it…" Mr Hippo immediately gave her a frown of disapproval and she rolled her eyes at him. "I won't be standing against the table, Mr Hippo. If Darren does not come back, I am the only one who can do something about it." She sighed and looked at Freddy's neck again. "Are you feeling anything else aside from an itchy neck?"
"My system…" She raised an eyebrow immediately. "When I was interacting with a kid earlier, my speech wasn't quite right. My voice glitched a little and I think I scared them a little. And, I am not sure, but you might have to check it. Maybe the wire is the reason."
"Hmm…I would say so…" Saphira gestured for him to get closer, and he got onto one knee, tilting his head and she looked closer at his neck. She was glad that a part of his endo could be seen since the casings had gaps in the joint areas of the body. "I see…" She leaned a little closer as she looked at it. "Looks like the protective layer around the wire is damaged, and some of the internal wiring is splitting…it needs replacing…but this one helps to power and control a lot of your joints in your face, Freddy. And connects to your brain…do you have trouble with any of your limbs?"
"Just some stiffness in my hands." He flexes his fingers a little, and Saphira looked at them as she heard them groaning a little. "I am certain it is also partly due to punching the staff bots Vanessa sent to us the other day. But they are stiff before that…so if this damage wire if causing that, then you have no choice but to fix it after the show is finished."
"I hope you can hold your microphone." The bot nodded and grabbed his microphone and microphone stand with ease, but the way he held them suggested it was not a good grip. "I suppose that is good…well, I should probably head up to the atrium if I want to watch the show." Saphira moved to stand, and Freddy was quick to help her stand. "Thanks." She took a deep breath and smiled at him. "If you feel anything serious from that damage, warn me and I can have the show put on hold for Friday…even if it upsets a whole heap of guests."
Freddy nodded with a smile, walking with her over to the door. "I will make sure that I inform you if something is wrong…but if something does happen and I am unable to send a message, one of the others will do it."
"And I will be keeping a closer eye on you, old friend," Bonnie said, pointing his fingers at his eyes and turned them to point at Freddy, making him chuckle a little at Bonnie. "Especially if it seems to be getting worse, which it seems like it. I don't know why Darren never fixed it anyway. He had the chance when it happened. Oh well." He shrugged and picked up his guitar, placing a couple strings playfully. "We have a show to focus on while keeping a close eye on our lead singer."
Saphira smiled as Freddy opened the door for her and she turned to look at him. "Try not to scare me. I have had enough scares this week, Freddy." She wrapped her arms around his waist, and he leaned down to kiss her. She grimaced as she felt a kick, and Freddy felt it too. "Ow…their kicks are getting so much stronger…"
Freddy placed his hand on her stomach gently and rubbed to try and soothe the kicks and discomfort. "At least they aren't kicking like they had before." She nodded in agreement, and he kissed her again. "I will try not to worry you more, Saphira. I love you, super star. I will see you after the show." He winks as her, making her blush and giggle at him.
Monty walked over and placed a hand on Freddy's shoulder. "You'll end up missing the show if you keep making the girl blush like that, Freddy." He was grinning as Saphira giggled some more while Freddy gave him an amused expression. "Get going now, girl, you are slower than us, so you need to the atrium before we do."
Saphira was still giggling as she turned after Freddy closed the door. Monty was blunt and honest so often, that it was at times funny. Saphira was glad that she has gotten used to it by now, and that he had become a great friend. She still remembered how angry he was with having her around here, and to learn it was from fear was just so heart breaking at the time. But the two of them have grown as friends, and Monty was like the older, protective brother to her. If Monty were a human, Saphira could picture him as a man with large muscles and everyone would avoid him simply by looking at him. But Saphira knew he had a soft side to him, but he hardly shows it willingly.
Saphira went through to the office to her elevator so she could go to the atrium. She wasn't entirely confident about getting to the third floor very quickly. But she did intend on using the elevators to head up to the third floor, which she was happy that the atrium even had them available. The escalators were another option depending on how packed the atrium was. And she knew that the elevators probably will be used, so she would use the escalators if the elevators were too busy.
She would definitely want a seat once she reached the third floor of the atrium. She stepped out of the elevator and hummed the theme song softly to herself as she walked along the hallway to the atrium. When she opened the door, she widened her eyes at how packed it was. Guests who saw her as she walked out quickly moved to give her room when they saw how heavily pregnant she is. She appreciated that, and she decided she wasn't going to waste her time with the elevators, so she made her way to the escalators to head up to the second floor.
It was so loud in the atrium as well. So many people were talking, the sound of cutlery hitting the plates was occasionally too loud to her ears and there was a lot of laughter from kids echoing around the atrium. It was very loud, and Saphira had to cover one ear just so she didn't feel like she was going to go deaf. She walked over to the escalator and stepped on, and stood there waiting for it to carry her up to the second floor. She glanced around occasionally to act like she was just watching her surroundings, but she was truthfully looking for the boy.
But she didn't see Gregory yet. She did spot Vanessa however. She raised an eyebrow as she thought that was interesting. That meant Vanessa knew where Gregory was, and she was also looking for him. But as Vanessa was on the bottom floor, Saphira assumed he could be anywhere. Vanessa did look up and see Saphira, and Saphira gave her a little wave, which irritated the woman. Saphira shrugged as she didn't really care that she upset Vanessa and stepped onto the second floor and moved to the next escalator to head up to the third floor.
She kept glancing around casually, not able to spot the young boy at all anywhere in the atrium. It was hard, because there were a lot of kids with brown hair and brown eyes, so seeing him from a distance was not going to be easy at all. But Saphira knew she couldn't do much with Vanessa in the atrium actively looking for him. So she just figured casually looking was good enough. And thankfully, the third floor was not packed at all. Saphira walked off the elevator and made her way to the left to find a comfortable seat to watch the show. She did not feel like standing and watching the show.
When she found an empty lounge looking directly at the stage, Saphira took a seat and sighed in relief, leaning back and rubbing her stomach as she relaxed in the chair. She forgot how comfortable these seats were, and she was already appreciating it. She made a quick order from a large cup of coke from a staff bot and relaxed as she waited. It has been a long time since she has seen the show, so this was going to be a lot of fun for her, and she looked forward to it.
As she was relaxing and waiting for the show to start, she checked the time and saw it was twenty past, which left her ten minutes until the show. She jumped when a shadow moved over her and she looked up to see Vanessa. The woman was giving her a suspicious expression with a hand on her hip. Saphira rolled her eyes at her as she did not want to deal with her right now. But she guessed Vanessa had decided to follow her.
"What do you want, Vanessa?" Saphira asked in a blunt, cold tone. "You are in my space…" She spotted a staff bot rolling over with her drink and it stops by her. "Ah, right on time. Hopefully I don't have to waste this on you." She grabbed the drink and sips the drink through the straw. "So why are you bothering me, Vanessa?"
Vanessa said nothing for a moment. She glanced at the staff bot as it rolled around her before sitting beside Saphira, making the girl tense a little. "I hope you are not trying to look for something right now, Saphira. Because that is my job right now."
She grits her teeth in irritation as she heard the cold, condescending tone from the woman. "If you have not noticed, I am sitting right here, waiting for the show to begin. And I am not feeling the mood to be going around trying to find something." She sipped some more of her coke while she hoped that Vanessa would leave soon. "If you would not mind, can you leave me alone? I am wanting to watch the show because I don't have anything else to do. You go and do whatever it is you want to do."
Vanessa simply glared at her suspiciously. "I hope you are not lying." Saphira shook her head with a roll of her eyes. "Because if you are, you already know the consequences. And trust me, you will not like them at all, Saphira Dawn."
"So go and put your bunny suit on right now, and show the whole world your true colors," Saphira dared in a snappy tone. "I dare you to do it." She smirked at her as the woman simply narrowed her eyes. "At lesat they will know you are murderer. A woman in a bunny costume has been seen once before, if I am not mistaken."
The blonde woman raised an eyebrow in surprise before smirking a little. "I see…you have looked into some history. Well…I cannot say I am surprised." She looked away from Saphira with a light chuckle. "But I bet you still think I am under some kind of spell. No…I just happened to be fascinated by the story of the previous establishments. I met Springtrap by accident by entering Fazbear Fright many years ago. He almost killed me, but I told him things…"
Saphira frowned a little as she listened to her. "Why the hell are you even telling me?"
"Because you'll be dead soon…" Vanessa smirked as she turned her head to look at her, sending chills down Saphira's spine. "It took us a long time to find you." Find me? "Did you really think that this job you got just fell out of the sky for you? Springtrap was looking for someone very specific, and I told him you were perfect. I have been working outside the pizzaplex for years, and I am the reason why this place, and your precious Glamrock Freddy exists. You are welcome."
Saphira didn't really know what to say. What she was understanding from Vanessa was that she was somehow able to ally with Springtrap, and the two created the pizzaplex. Saphira was not sure if she believed that Vanessa somehow convinced Springtrap not to kill her. He did not seem like he was the kind of person to listen to someone else. But maybe that is the memory that Vanessa had, or if it was maybe twisted. Still…the way she was saying this seemed like this whole thing had been planned for a long time. And she somehow fell into that plan.
Saphira did not know what to say and she simply went silent. Vanessa smirked as she noticed that Saphira went quiet. She stood up with a sigh, looking down at the girl who was side eyeing her now. "I will leave you alone to stew on that for a little while. Stay here and enjoy the show while I keep looking for what I need to find. Stay out of my way."
Saphira said nothing to the woman as she walked away. Saphira shivered a little as hearing the words replay in her mind sent chills down her spine. She really did not know what to think on what Vanessa had just said. She was not surprised that Saphira found out about Gregory's parents, and Saphira guessed that the woman didn't care since no one convicted the woman. Saphira felt sorry for the boy. He was pulled into this because of some sick reason. She almost wanted to get up and head back to the office. But she was stopped when she heard the familiar guitar and drums begin to play, causing an uproar of excitement in the atrium.
"Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, Fazbear Entertainment would like you to put your hands together for the one, the only, Freddy Fazbear!"
Saphira smiled as she never got over that announcement for the animatronics. The screens all light up, showing all eleven animatronics in a lit-up hallway. She chuckled as she knew it was all green screen, but it still looked real and cool as the animatronics wall through the hallway, strutting their stuff before the screen turns to Roxy and Happy Frog swinging a cord each and plugging it into their keytars, following by Freddy and then Orville, waving his wand and showing off fake magic before pulling out a synthesizer keyboard from his cloak. Saphira chuckled softly, as she realized she had not really seen this new updated version of the intro.
The scene changed to the image of the front of the pizzaplex reflecting from Monty's glasses before he lowered them and winked before the camera panned back and circled around Monty with Bonnie, Pigpatch and Mr Hippo dancing and playing their own guitars with their backs to each other. The camera changes and moves through a hallway full guitars, with Chica dancing and playing her electric guitar, with the sound of drums being played wildly and Foxy's hook swoops across the screen before the camera panned upward as Chica, Foxy and Foxette look up at the camera with a smile.
The scene than cuts to an image of all animatronics, holding their instruments, stepping onto the lift with smiles on their faces. Despite singing the same song every week, they were always happy and excited to perform for their fans. She smiled as images of showing each animatronic looking up was always a joy. She moved her body a little in the seat as she stared at the lift, smiling as she knew they were getting closer until they all jumped onto the stage enthusiastically as the music continued to play.
The crowd cheered loudly and danced as the animatronics play their instruments while spreading out a little and danced to the music. Freddy was always a joy to watch. His Freddie Mercury moves always made Saphira giggle, and Freddy really brought it out as he dances while parts of the stage lifts several of the animatronics to perform on their own platforms. Saphira closed her eyes and moved her body happily, moving her arms around as she enjoyed the music and hummed along to the tune of the music. She wished she wasn't pregnant, because she would love to dance with Freddy on stage at some point. That would be amazing.
She reopened her eyes as she could hear that the song was nearing to when Freddy would start to sing. The platforms were lowering the other animatronics as Freddy walked up to the front and placed the microphone stand down before grabbing the microphone itself. But as he was about to start singing, something began to happen. Freddy's face began to twitch and Saphira gasped, leaning forward as it seemed that Freddy lost control of his jaw and eyes, and his whole body began twitching and he ended up knocking the mic stand in the process.
The other animatronics notice immediately that something was wrong as Mr Hippo ran forward to see what was happening, but before he got to Freddy, Saphira felt her heart drop as she watched him fall onto his side, causing the crowd to react with screams and shouts of shock. Saphira made her quickly to the elevator by the sound booth and pressed a button to get down to the bottom as quickly as possible. Saphira was very worried, and the chaos had erupted in the atrium.
"Saphira, Freddy has fallen into sleep mode somehow," Mr Hippo said through the Fazwatch in a worried tone. "It looks like the wire has torn more, and now he's not able to function properly. We can get him to Parts and Service, but we are now trying to prevent people from climbing onto the stage to reach him."
Saphira frowned as she stepped into the elevator and pressed the button to go down. Hearing that people were trying to get on stage to reach Freddy while he was down infuriated her. Saphira lifts the Fazwatch and pressed buttons to connect to the intercom to speak. "Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, on behalf of the pizzaplex, I formerly apologize for the sudden end to the performance. Please clear the stage area. The animatronics will be sent down for maintenance, and so we can repair Freddy for the next show." The doors ding and Saphira stepped out, narrowing her eyes as she saw people were ignoring her. "Those who push past the animatronics guarding the stage will be charged accordingly for property damage."
That still did not seem to get through to people. Saphira shook her head and she looked around for Vanessa. She could not see her as she walked towards the stage as quickly as she possibly could. She opened the communicate link to Vanessa. "Where the hell are you, Vanessa?! We need to clear people away from the stage!"
"I will get to it in a moment. I am so close!" Saphira didn't know what that meant. "You'll have to hold them off on your own for a moment, Saphira. I am kind of busy."
"Finding that kid is not your priority!" Saphira snapped back at the woman. "You are still a security guard!"
"That's not my priority. Deal with it yourself."
Saphira could not believe Vanessa, and it angered her even further. But Saphira managed to get around the crown by keeping to the edges of the crowd as she made her way to the stage. She knew the next thing that was needed were the security bots as she looked ahead, and she saw all the animatronics were blocking the paths of the guests. People were trying to shove their way past the animatronics, especially the kids. Many were screaming and crying about him, and Saphira was extremely irritated. And among the crowd, she saw Vanessa. The woman had her eyes on someone, but Saphira could not see who it is, but she did not care.
Saphira managed to reach near the stage, but she could not get through. She looked ahead and locked eyes with Mr Hippo. He acknowledged her with a nod, and Saphira used her bot remote to summon the security bots. While she waited for them to arrive, she began to move through the crowd as best as she could. She really wanted to just smack a lot of the guests right now. There were a lot guests who had left the bottom floor, and that was good, but it was these people right now that were frustrating her.
She lifts her Fazwatch again to speak through the intercom, and the people near her hear her speak. "Please step away from the stage. Unauthorized people who push through the animatronics will receive an immediate ban from the pizzaplex, and you will be blacklisted and unable to return. Step away from the stage now!"
The people who heard her were shocked, and she glared at them, making them move away as they realize she was not kidding. She couldn't believe she had to speak to guests this way. There were adults who were trying to push through too, and Saphira was furious. When she reached the stairs, Roxy grabbed her hand and pulled her up, letting her get through. This made people shout at her as Saphira looked at Freddy. His eyes were open, but he was limp and inactive.
Saphira felt tears in her eyes as she walked over to him and looked at him. "Oh Freddy…" She sniffled a little as she tried to keep herself from crying. "I will fix you in a moment…" She turned around when she heard a shout and saw Vanessa. She walked over to the edge of the stage and stood behind Monty and Mr Hippo. "Vanessa! Do what you are meant to do!"
"He's getting away!" Vanessa snapped back, narrowing her eyes at Saphira. "Can't you see him?!"
"I only see a pathetic security guard abandoning her duties!" Saphira snapped back angrily. "Forget about the chase, and help me!" She then looked at several people trying to shove past the animatronics. "Get out of the pizzaplex!" They look at her in shock at she screamed at them. "All of you, get out! You are all banned for life from the pizzaplex! Freddy requires professional help! Not stupid guests!"
Many act offended and they yank their kids back before walking away. At this point, the security bots began to roll over and push the guests away, lining in front of the stage to keep them back. When the guests tried pushing past them, the bots tasered them, which was something they had in their hands. At this point, Vanessa was looking around like an idiot as she was still looking for Gregory. And Saphira frowned and turned her head to look at Monty as she thought she heard the sound of his stomach hatch opening and closing, but she guessed she was mistaken.
With the staff bots now dishing out punishments to the guests, they finally vacate the stage area and Saphira was able to breath. "Alright…Monty, Mr Hippo…or whoever, let's get Freddy downstairs," Saphira ordered as tears roll down her cheeks. Monty and Bonnie walk over to Freddy and they pick him up. Mr Hippo gathered Freddy's microphone and stand as they walk to the lift. She turned and glared at Vanessa. "You are a pathetic security guard."
Vanessa glared at Saphira before softening her expression. "I apologize. I will make sure the banned guests leave now." She turned away and walked away from the stage. "I have lost what I was looking for it would seem. If you see it, let me know."
Saphira didn't care as she walked onto the lift and hit the button to head down to Parts and Service. All the animatronics were glad that the craziness was over, but they were worried for Freddy. This has never happened before, but the damaged wire was never fixed, and with Darren still gone, it was inevitable that something bad would happen. And it did. Now Saphira had to fix Freddy and make sure that his system was working smoothly. Saphira began to cry as she stood on the platform as seeing Freddy fall that way was upsetting. She felt awful this happened, and she wished she had fixed him before the show. Mr Hippo hugged her gently and rubbed her shoulders as she sobbed.
When the lift reached the bottom however, they were all surprised as someone was standing in the doorway to Parts and Service. Saphira widened her eyes as she saw him. He looked tired and weak, but he was there with a shocked expression on his face. "Darren?"
