Saphira and Gregory back away from the animatronic slowly. While this was indeed the Freddy endo that Saphira has met before, but with his new casings, he was extremely different from the Glamrock Freddy they knew. Not only was his body worn with cracks in the casings, clear signs they were once on Freddy, but his blue toes were long and sharp. And his claws on his fingers were also very long and sharp, and his fingers seemed to have knuckle braces welded to the endo skeleton, making the animatronic's punch a lot more dangerous if it were to make contact. The bracelets on his wrists also had longer spikes. But they were not the main concerns. His mouth was full of long, sharp, rusty teeth. The head shape was still the same size, but the animatronic could not close his mouth the whole way like the normal animatronics could. But he can deliver an extremely painful bite that would cause serious bleeding.
And as for his stomach hatch, well, there was a row of teeth around the edge of the hatch line, signifying that there was likely something more dangerous within him. This was definitely not the Glamrock Freddy they knew. This was more like a Nightmare Glamrock Freddy, something that neither Saphira and Gregory would have considered imagining. But here he was, standing before them, speaking with the same voice as Glamrock Freddy's. But his voice is dark, sinister and he was clearly being controlled.
"Why do you back away?" Nightmare Glamrock Freddy questioned as he watched the two step back from him. He took a step towards them and seemed to smirk slightly as he saw how terrified they are. "Come now, don't be shy…"
"Run." Saphira whispered loudly to Gregory and the two of them turn to run.
The animatronic watched as they had a long way to go before they would even find their way out of this large room. There was not many places they could go, so the animatronic did not bother to run after them. At least not yet. The two heard him chuckling a loud, slow laugh that echoed through the large room, and they quickly realize that it was a huge space. Saphira saw white marks on the ground, which suggests this was used as a parking lot a long time ago. But it was now connected to the underground area. She was certain the endo factory was not too far from where they are though.
However, Saphira didn't get too far as a contraction made her stumble and brace herself against a nearby column. She groaned and hunched over a little from the pain. Gregory skidded to a stop when he realized and ran back to her, glancing back at Nightmare Glamrock Freddy. He was glancing at Saphira and seemed to notice she was having a contraction, which made him laugh loudly again, and send shivers down their spines. Both Saphira and Gregory had no idea on what to do.
"I am not sure if our weapons can even hurt that thing," Gregory whispered nervously to Saphira as he stared at the animatronic as he continued walking closer to them. "But…I guess we might not have a choice…your contractions are getting worse."
Saphira was fully aware of that. She leaned down to whisper to him. "He will likely go after you, Gregory. Springtrap won't have the animatronic do anything to me…I think…but we might need to split up in this room and find a way out of there. I fear that the other endos Springtrap has will look similar to this Freddy here."
Gregory was a little uncertain by the plan, but they might not have a choice. "Well…I am…"
"TAG!" Nightmare Glamrock Freddy shouts suddenly, startling the two as he lunged towards them. "Let's play tag!" Saphira shrieked as she ducked behind the column before he could reach her, while Gregory ran away. "Ha, ha, ha…" He leaned slightly to look at Saphira, making her back away from him nervously. "I am sure you know the rules…" He scratched the column slowly as he walked around it slowly as he got closer to her. "I am it, you run and I catch you. That's the rules. But…" He stepped closer and punched his fists on the next column, making her yelp and move back a little faster from her. "When I catch you…" The eyes glance down at Saphira's stomach and he smirked. "I will take you somewhere a lot more comfortable. So run, run, run as fast as you can."
Saphira could see that this was turning into a game, but this animatronic did not have to her twice to run. She did not know where Gregory had run off too, but she turned to run from Nightmare Glamrock Freddy. She shines her light around, seeing the various cables on the ground, a few destroyed nightmare bots, a snake bot and she even saw a few small, Music Men on the ground too. But she made sure to not let herself get distracted. She needed to figure out a plan.
"Ten. Nine. Eight…" The sudden countdown from the animatronic startled Saphira as it gave her the understanding that he was coming very quickly, and he was probably going to drag her to the room Springtrap had set up for her to give birth it. "Seven. Six."
I have to think of something. This animatronic is too strong and scary to outrun. If I wasn't pregnant, maybe I could do something, but…ugh, I can't even see a door anywhere!
Saphira moved as quickly as she could between the columns. She did not bother trying to weave between them, mostly because she knew there would be no point. She looked around to see where Gregory had gone, but she could not see him. She wanted to call out for him, but if he was hiding, she didn't really want to expose where he was hiding to the animatronic. That would be rather unfair. But it also did not matter.
"Zero! Ready or not, here I come, super star!" Nightmare Glamrock Freddy shouts in a gleeful tone before he began to run.
Saphira felt goose bumps on her skin as she heard the heavy footsteps of the animatronic running towards her. Each footstep felt like a small, but noticeable tremor beneath her feet. She could not help but turn to see the animatronic running towards her. He opened his mouth slightly wider and laughed. She felt tears in her eyes as she did not want to try and outrun him. Mostly because she knew that she could not.
Just as he was about to reach her, Saphira turned her head as she heard a loud horn beeping suddenly. Nightmare Glamrock Freddy stopped and turned his head in surprise before lifting his hands to cover his eyes as high beans turn on suddenly. "KEEP YOUR GRUBBY HANDS OFF THE PREGNANT LADY!" It was Gregory! He had found a forklift with a pallet stuck on the forks and he was speeding it towards the animatronic.
The animatronic was shocked and he didn't have time to react as Gregory rammed the pallet straight into the animatronic, forcing him into the wall. The animatronic roared and hit his head against the wall, and he seemed to fall down unconscious. Gregory smiled victoriously as he jumped out of the forklift and ran over to Saphira. She had not expected that the boy would even find a forklift that was working. She guessed it was pure luck.
"Come on! I found a way out!" Gregory shouts at Saphira, grabbing her hand and pulling her with him. "He will not stay down for long! I am glad I got lucky with the first forklift I tested to see if it was working!"
At least that answered how Gregory found and turned on the forklift. It was by luck. She did not say anything as she ran with Gregory through the old lot. She guessed that Nightmare Glamrock Freddy did not notice Gregory reaching the forklift because he was focused on her. At least he did not have time to stop the boy. That was definitely a really good thing, but they were not out of the woods yet. Gregory kept a hold of Saphira's hand as they run through the lot and she saw he was leading her to a roller door that rolled up automatically.
She groaned as there was a slope down again instead of up, but this was another part of the lot. They continue running along the concrete and they stop, glancing around fearfully as it was still very dark and difficult to find any other door. But they would not be given a choice. Saphira screamed as vent panels from above were punched down to the ground and they look up to see nightmare bots dropping down into the room. They were immediately zoned in on the two as they look at them.
"Oh, great…" Saphira held up the axe in her hand, and Gregory held up the hammer. "At least we can destroy these guys." Gregory nodded in agreement, but there was so many dropping down that Saphira shivered. "Don't let yourself get caught."
The two of them knew that they couldn't stand still, even though they were terrified. They began to run away from the bots, and the nightmare bots were quick to speed after them. Saphira and Gregory swung their weapons at the bots, hitting their heads and arms with the weapons. Most of them were slowed down, while some they managed to destroy upon the impact of the weapon. And with all of this madness, they were constantly on the lookout for another way out.
Saphira slammed her axe against two nightmare bots and she was grappled with pain once again. A contraction made her hunch over and the nightmare bots took advantage. Gregory gasped in shock as he saw them grab Saphira and push her to the ground hard, making her shriek in pain and she kept swinging her axe to try and stop them from holding her down. Gregory ran at the bots, swinging his hammer and smashing their heads. But with more dropping in, he was getting more frightened that he wouldn't be able to save her.
On top of that, both he and Saphira heard the roar of Nightmare Glamrock Freddy, and the sound of something breaking loudly. He was getting back up. The boy was not wrong that he would not be down for very long. And they did not have much time to lose if they didn't want him to reach them. Especially as his footsteps were already quickly approaching where they are. Gregory was almost tempted to flee, but he did not want to leave Saphira to this awful fate.
Saphira let out a soft sob as she was starting to get overcome with emotion. Though while she sob, she blinked in surprise as she thought she saw an electric rod stabbing the nightmare bots from behind. The bots don't seem to notice straight away as they start to drop like flies. And Gregory noticed too in the middle of his swings, which was making it easier for him to get to Saphira. When he smashed several more, he and Saphira saw it was a nightmare bot with white electricity sparking from its hands jabbing the other nightmare bots.
Gregory grabbed Saphira and helped her up. He and Saphira stare in shock, but Saphira realized this could be Cliff. He didn't attack her last time. Maybe he was here to help her! She smiled a little and the bot gestured for her to run. She didn't know if he was under control by Springtrap, or if he found a way to disconnect himself from the control, but it seemed like he was his own person. And that was a good thing.
"Why is…"
"No time to explain!" Saphira pushed Gregory, swinging an axe at another charging bot, slicing its neck and watching the head roll off. "Keep running!"
The bot jabbed a few more other bots and began to follow Gregory and Saphira. Gregory was suspicious of the bot, but it would attack any of the bots that got closer to them. And with Nightmare Glamrock Freddy getting closer quickly. Saphira spotted a door up some stairs, though she did not know if Cliffton could follow. She had wondered if he was still around, but at least she had an answer now. They run up the stairs and Saphira pushed it open and looked back to see the purple eyes racing towards them. She shivered and Cliffton jumped into the door before Saphira slammed it shut.
She jumped as the bot suddenly pushed a shelf in front of the door to try and slow the animatronic down. Saphira smiled as the bot points to the next door, and she nodded. This room was mostly empty, aside from the shelves, and Cliffton pulled another over in front of the door before following Saphira and Gregory out of the room into another hallway. However, the two had stopped as they saw at the end of the hallway was another animatronic.
"Are you lost?" It was the Roxy endo. Except, like Nightmare Glamrock Freddy, she was wearing old Roxy casings. Her eyes were glowing purple as well, with an exposed muzzle full of sharp teeth. Her hair was not hair anymore. It was, in fact, spikes. The spikes seemed to be shaped like her hair, but for what purpose it was for, they did not know. Her claws were long, her tail was exposed with shape knives that the animatronic could use whenever she tail whipped someone. And her stomach had two rows of teeth. This was definitely a Nightmare Roxy animatronic. "I can help."
"I hope you can point us in the right direction, Cliff," Saphira whispered desperately to Cliffton. "I am having contractions and I need to get out of here." The bot turned its head slightly as it nodded in understanding before pointing at the door to their right. "Thank you!"
"GET BACK HERE!" The animatronic shouts, running towards them with angry eyes. "SAPHIRA, YOU WILL GET BACK HERE!"
Saphira shrieked as she and Gregory run into the room with the bot, closing the door behind them. Saphira turned and saw this was another short hallway, but Cliff points to the other end in desperation to show that they needed to go fast. She just nodded and Gregory followed without questioning. However, they both scream as Nightmare Roxy slammed the door open, snapping it off its hinges, and they saw Nightmare Glamrock Freddy smash the other door on the opposite side.
"Come now, super stars," The animatronic spoke in an angry tone. "Stop running. You are only making it worse for yourselves." Nightmare Glamrock Freddy chuckled in a mocking tone while Roxy grinned at them.
"Definitely! Stop your running, you cowards!" Nightmare Roxy hissed as Gregory opened the other door and she ran at them. "STOP! AARRHH!" She shouts in surprise and pain as Cliffton jabbed the animatronic's stomach with the electrical shock. "Traitor!"
Even though Cliffton managed to slow Nightmare Roxy, Nightmare Glamrock Freddy punched the nightmare bot's chest, sending him through the other door. Saphira and Gregory yelp as they move out of the way and watch Cliff hit the wall and fall down. Saphira was shocked, but she couldn't do anything as the Nightmare Glamrock Freddy turned to glare at her. She and Gregory began to run from him again, just as they hear Nightmare Roxy getting back to her feet.
"We have not finished the game yet," Nightmare Glamrock Freddy said as he watched the two run to the next door to run through. "Wait…" He narrowed his eyes for a moment and roared loudly. "GET BACK HERE!"
Saphira and Gregory had no idea what the nightmare bot meant, but they entered a very short room that led into another, kind of like how Parts and Service is designed. Though when they pushed through into the next room, they found themselves in a large server room. And this time, because of how Nightmare Glamrock Freddy reacted, this had to be the mainframe for the endos at least. But while they realized it, they saw this room had multiple entry points. And three other doors open, and stepping inside were three other endos wearing the withered casings of their respective animatroncs. Bonnie, Chica and Monty. They were surrounded.
The Nightmare Glamrock Bonnie had parts of his casing missing around his eyes, giving them a false, larger look to the face. His mouth was full of sharp, rusty teeth like Nightmare Glamrock Freddy's mouth. The casings around the hands were gone, leaving only the endo hand behind with long, purple claws. His ears also had cracks and holes in them. His shoulder pads were gone, and his stomach hatch also had teeth around the hatch door itself.
Nightmare Monty was different. His arms were completely bare of any casing on them. But the whole arm was covered in spikes that have been welded to the skeleton. His own hands were the same hands that Saphira had upgraded to Monty sometime ago, along with his sharp claws. The top part of the snout of the face casing was gone, giving the Nightmare Monty was creepier appearance. His tail had casings on it, but the tail also had three knives that the animatronic seemed to be able to control. A third arm it would seem. And, like Nightmare Glamrock Freddy and Bonnie, his stomach had had teeth along the hatch. Something about their stomach hatches has been changed.
Nightmare Glamrock Chica had no beak. She did have sharp teeth, but they were not huge like the others were. Aside from the withered casing around her body, sharp claws, sharp shoulder pads and teeth around her stomach, she seemed to be the least nightmarish compared to the others. But Saphira and Gregory were still terrified. If this was the mainframe for these endos, they were here to stop them. But Saphira and Gregory had absolutely no idea what to do.
Saphira and Gregory had their backs against each other as they looked around. They felt as though they have lost now. With all doorways blocked by these animatronics, Saphira couldn't really see any way to get out of this. She was more worried about Gregory. Springtrap wants her alive, but he wants Gregory dead. She did not know how this was going to play out now, but as far as she knew, it would end in the boy being killed.
Nightmare Monty started to laugh, making both of them shiver fearfully. "Seems like the game is over. No more games! We won, time for you both to sit down!"
Saphira turned her head as she saw Nightmare Glamrock Freddy running towards them, despite being distracted at first with Nightmare Monty. Both she and Gregory duck under his swipe, but they had to separate in order to be safe. Saphira stared at the boy for a moment and looked at Nightmare Glamrock Freddy who was smirking slightly at her. She was terrified right now. She felt a kick in her stomach, which made a grimace before another contraction hit her. She let out a cry of surprise and pain, which made the animatronic turn away from her to look at Gregory. It seemed they were fine with not holding her due to the contractions.
Gregory himself had jumped onto a table as Nightmare Monty and Nightmare Glamrock Chica stood by the table, trying to grab him as he was climbing up to a ledge to get away from the bots. But there still was no way to get out, so he would be stuck up there. The animatronics wouldn't mind, since he could just starve up there as far as they were concerned. He looked at Saphira who was taking deep breaths while she wasted for the contraction to subside and he was about to shout when Nightmare Roxy ran over and jumped up onto the table and grabbed at his ankle.
Gregory screamed loudly and slammed the hammer on the animatronic's muzzle. "UUGGHH!" Nightmare Roxy shouts in surprise, stumbling back slightly, only to glare and pull his ankle to force the boy to slide off and hit the ground hard. "You're one tough kid. It's too bad you don't even have friends and no one will miss you!"
Gregory hit the back of his head and he grimaced, looking at the animatronic fearfully. Nightmare Roxy jumped down from the table and walked towards him with a sinister grin on her face, but Gregory, still holding the hammer, hit her in the face directly in the eyes. He watched the right eye shatter from impact, though the left eye simply cracked. But it seemed to be enough as the bot just stumbled back and back to look around in confusion and roared angrily.
"YOU LITTLE PEST!" She screamed, rushing forward to try and grab Gregory. He quickly rolled to the side, and she missed him. "Where are you?!"
Nightmare Glamrock Chica stepped closer to the boy and grabbed him by his shirt, pulling him up to his feet and shoving him against the wall behind him, glaring directly into his eyes. "No more games, Gregory!" She hissed at him. "Your usefulness has run it's course, the master no longer has any need of you!"
Saphira finally felt the contraction pass and she was horrified as the animatronics were all circling Gregory. She frowned as she straightened herself up and ran up behind Nightmare Glamrock Bonnie and slammed the axe right into his back. The animatronic shrieks in pain and surprise as the axe broke through the back casing and cut through several lines, causing the limbs and head to spasm uncontrollably as his system reacted negatively to the impact of the body.
She pulled the axe out to raise and hit again, only for Nightmare Glamrock Freddy to shove her away from Nightmare Glamrock Bonnie. She yelped as she dropped the axe and fell to the ground hard, making her grimace as she landed on her tail bone and she shuddered in pain. She took deep breaths as she tried to wait out the pain as Nightmare Glamrock Freddy lifts her by her armpits and sat her roughly on a chair, again causing additional pain to run through her body.
"Now, now…" He raised a finger and wagged it in front of her face. "There is no need to be putting extra stress on your body, super star…" Saphira shuddered as this bot calling her super star felt incredibly dirty and she hated it. "You are already go through so much. So just sit and relax…it will all be over soon, Saphira."
Saphira felt tears in her eyes as she felt helpless. She moved to try and stand again, only for the bot to backhand her suddenly, and it was hard. The knuckles in his fingers clapped her cheek hard, and broke some of the skin upon impact. She was also almost knocked out from how hard he backhanded her. Even her vision blurred slightly because it hurt so much from the impact. She placed her hand on her cheek, feeling the blood seeping out of the wounds.
"I told you to relax," Nightmare Glamrock Freddy said in a slightly mocking tone. "Ooh, sorry about the face, super star. But you really should have stayed in that chair." She turned her head slightly to glare at him and he simply chuckled in amusement. "Gather your strength, I'll take you with me soon." He turned to Gregory when he heard the sound of Gregory smashing the hammer into Nightmare Glamrock Chica's face. She lets him go and stumbled back, and Nightmare Monty lunged at Gregory, and the boy skids underneath the bot. Nightmare Glamrock Freddy narrowed his eyes and growled, startling Saphira at the sound. "You just don't quit!"
Gregory scrambled to his feet and prepared to slam the hammer on Nightmare Glamrock Freddy's body when the animatronic's stomach hatch opened suddenly, and a large claw shot out from the hatch and roughly grabbed Gregory's right shoulder. The force made the boy drop both flashlight and hammer, and pushed him into the ground. He shouts loudly and Saphira heard the sound of a snap, making her realize that the animatronic just broke Gregory's right shoulder. Gregory grasped as the claw, trying to push it away, but it had a tight grip around his shoulder and slowly lifts him off the ground.
And Gregory was horrified as inside the stomach hatch there was saws running inside, along with knives ready to cut into his body. His eyes fill with tears as he hung from the claw helplessly. "P-Please…d-d-don't kill me…"
Nightmare Glamrock Freddy just smiled as he pulled the boy towards the hatch. He held his arms out in case the kid managed to free himself from the grasp of the claw that was pulling him closer and closer to the death trap. Gregory knew he had told Freddy the first time he spoke that he did not want to be twisted into a meat pretzel. And…this monstrous animatronic was about to do that to him, and Gregory could not help but close his eyes, hoping that it would be quick.
But just as Saphira and Gregory thought that would be the case, the boy yelped the claw dropped him to the ground suddenly, and all the animatronics seemed to power down as they either lean or fall to the ground. The claw loosened on Gregory's shoulder and he managed to pull himself away, but he was extremely confused. So was Saphira. She had not wanted to watch Gregory be killed that way, but the animatronics simply stopped working.
She turned her head and to her surprise, she saw the nightmare bot with the axe embedded into the hard line of this server room. She saw this not was damaged in the back and front, but it turned its head towards them. Saphira looked over to where Cliffton had been punched, and he was not there. She widened her eyes and looked back at him as she realized this was Cliff. He had not been destroyed by that Nightmare Glamrock Freddy. In fact, he got up and used the axe she had dropped to cut the hard line.
"Cliff?" Saphira stared at him hopefully and he nodded slightly. She smiled as she took deep breaths of relief. "Oh my god! You saved our lives!" She sniffled a little as tears roll down her cheeks. "Thank you…but can you help us get out of here? Or m-m-maybe even the nightmare b-bot mainframe? I…I am in labor, and I need to get out fast, Cliff."
The bot looked down at Saphira's stomach before it nodded. It rolled over to Gregory, and the boy flinched as the bot helped him to his feet. The boy looked at his arm and tried to move it, but he couldn't. He grimaced as he felt the pain as he tried to move it, but his shoulder was broken. The boy side a moment, looking at the animatronics for a moment before picking up his flashlight and walking over to Saphira.
Saphira stood up from the chair carefully, holding her forehead as she felt a throbbing headache thanks to the backhand from that Nightmare Glamrock Freddy. "Um…who is Cliff?" Gregory asked as he looked at her curiously.
She looked at him and smiled. "I'll tell you about him later." She watched Cliff roll away to the door Nightmare Roxy had come in from. "But he knows the way out. I think he's done something to prevent control from Springtrap." Cliff nods and reached into his broken chest and pulled out a small chip. "Oh…that makes sense." She looked at Gregory sympathetically. "I am…sorry…I was no help…"
"I will be fine." Gregory smiled a little at her to try and put on a brave face. "But…I'll need a doctor after."
Saphira fully understood, and the two of them walk over to the door to look out. Despite the fact the endos were now down, they could hear the rumbling sound of more bots rolling towards them. And there was so many. Saphira shivered nervously as she shines her flashlight before Cliff rolled out and both she and Gregory began to follow. She just hoped that Cliff was not in control, but it wouldn't make sense for Springtrap to allow them to destroy the endo mainframe. Regardless, they don't really get far before they hear it.
"Mmm, mmm, hmm, hmm, mmm…"
It was someone humming the original Freddy Fazbear song from way back. And it was chilling to their very core. Saphira and Gregory did not have to turn around to know who it was singing that tune. They recognized the voice, and they feel the hairs on their skin standing up. Cliff was the only one who turned and seemed scared before rolling away quickly and gesturing for the two to follow him quickly. Springtrap was there right now, and he was likely now going to either toy with them, or torture them.
Where are you, Freddy? Springtrap's here! Please! I know you're trying to look for us somewhere, I hope you find us soon!
