Two years have passed since Michael and Charlie began their investigation into the dark secrets of William Afton. Now, in 1981, Circus Baby Pizza World is about to open its doors to the public for the first time. Michael vividly remembers that it is the day his sister Elizabeth will die at the hands of the Funtime animatronics, but he is determined to prevent this tragedy at any cost.
On the day of the grand opening, the excitement is palpable. William Afton and his friend Henry Emily are eager to present their newest creation to the world, and each decides to bring their children, Charlie, Michael, Evan, and Elizabeth, to experience the new restaurant firsthand.
On the way to Circus Baby Pizza World, Michael is nervous and restless, knowing what is about to happen. He tries to hide his feelings from the others and focuses on finding a way to avoid Elizabeth's death.
Upon arriving at the restaurant, Michael keeps a close eye on his younger sister, Elizabeth, at all times. He knows that the tragedy will occur when she approaches Circus Baby.
While the children are entertained by the attractions at Circus Baby Pizza World, Michael finds a moment to slip away and search the place for a solution. He knows he cannot tell anyone about what is happening, so he must act on his own.
Michael discovers a secret control room backstage, where the animatronics can be monitored and controlled remotely. He remembers his findings about his father's sinister projects and decides this is the best chance to prevent the tragedy.
With care and discretion, Michael finds a way to temporarily shut down the systems of the four Funtime animatronics: Funtime Foxy, Funtime Freddy, Ballora, and Circus Baby. He fears the consequences of his actions but is determined to protect his sister.
Meanwhile, Charlie is vigilant, taking care of Evan and Elizabeth. She notices Michael's strange behavior but decides not to press him, trusting that he has his reasons.
As the opening of Circus Baby Pizza World continues, the guests have a great time, including the children who seem to be enjoying themselves. Charlie notices the absence of movements from the Funtime animatronics but does not mention it to the other children, fearing it might frighten them.
However, when Elizabeth expresses the desire to meet Circus Baby up close, Michael panics. He quickly intervenes and distracts Elizabeth, taking her to another exciting ride and diverting her attention.
Charlie senses the tension in Michael and approaches him privately. She asks what is going on and if he is hiding something from her. Michael hesitates but eventually confesses that he knows something bad will happen if Elizabeth gets close to the Funtime animatronics, without revealing the details about the future.
Charlie is shocked by the revelation but also understands that Michael acted with good intentions to protect his sister. She promises to help him and assures him that she will do everything possible to keep Evan and Elizabeth safe.
Meanwhile, William and Henry are busy greeting the guests and ensuring that everything is going as planned. They are happy with the success of the Circus Baby Pizza World's opening and hope it is the beginning of something great.
However, they are unaware that the Funtime animatronics have been temporarily shut down by Michael. What he did not foresee is that, with time, they can be rebooted, and their programming can be restored.
As the day continues, Michael and Charlie keep a close watch on the children, especially Elizabeth. They know the danger is still present, and they cannot let their guard down.
As night falls, the atmosphere at Circus Baby Pizza World becomes even more mysterious and eerie. The lights flicker, the ambient music echoes through the restaurant, and the animatronics automatically reboot.
Michael and Charlie realize that the situation is out of control, and the Funtime animatronics are about to come back online. They hurry to gather all the children and their parents to leave the place as quickly as possible.
However, as they are heading for the exit, Elizabeth lingers behind, drawn to Circus Baby's presence. Michael panics again and rushes to rescue her before it's too late.
He approaches Elizabeth and tries to persuade her to leave, but she is mesmerized by Circus Baby's appearance. Michael has only a moment to make a difficult decision: he can reveal that he knows about the future and convince Elizabeth to leave, or he can act quickly to prevent the tragedy.
He chooses to act and, in a brave move, Michael shuts down Circus Baby's mechanism, preventing her from performing any harmful actions. Elizabeth, confused, accepts Michael's help and leaves the restaurant with him.
As they are leaving Circus Baby Pizza World, the other Funtime animatronics regain their functionality and begin to behave erratically, but Funtime Freddy catches fire.
By this point, William and Henry realize that something has gone wrong and try to intervene to protect the children. They join Michael and Charlie to extinguish the animatronic, and together, they manage to put out the fire using a fire extinguisher.
The chaos subsides, and everyone is safe. Michael and Charlie keep the secret that Michael knew about the danger Elizabeth was in, thereby avoiding altering the course of events. They decide it's best that Elizabeth and Charlie don't know about what almost happened to prevent causing more fear or unnecessary concern.
But everyone realizes that the fire has destroyed much of the restaurant, and William will have to close it for a few months.
"Darn, this had to happen right on the opening day," William says, disappointed.
"Will, stay calm, accidents happen," Henry says, trying to calm his friend.
"It had to be Funtime Freddy, one of my weapons... I mean creations," William says, nervously.
(You almost revealed your plans, hahaha), Michael thinks.
Michael, Elizabeth, and Evan, I'm taking you home now and dealing with this mess that happened today," says William.
"Okay, Dad, but can I see Baby later?" Elizabeth asks.
"I've already said no."
"But, Dad..."
"No buts, my daughter."
William takes his three children home and returns to Circus Baby Pizza World.
"Why did the robots do that, Michael?" Evan asks.
"Dad probably bought the robots at MediaMarkt," Michael replies.
"I'm going to sleep," Elizabeth says, sounding a little sad since she didn't get to see Baby.
"Okay, sis," Evan replies.
Michael feels a bit guilty seeing Elizabeth like this, but he knows he did it for her safety because he knew Baby would kill her if he didn't do anything.
William Afton was alone in his office at Circus Baby Pizza World, focused on repairing Funtime Freddy, which had been damaged during the previous incident. As he worked on the animatronic's circuits and gears, he began to notice a strange smell of burning.
Intrigued, he looked around, trying to identify the source of the odor. It was then that his eyes widened as he noticed a subtle smoke rising from one of the corners of the main hall of the restaurant. The flames were starting to dance, consuming something nearby.
"What's happening? How could this happen?" he exclaimed, with a trembling voice. His heart raced, and a feeling of panic began to grip him.
William quickly abandoned the work on Funtime Freddy and rushed to the window of his office to get a clearer view of the hall. The flames were gaining strength rapidly, and he knew he needed to act fast.
Without hesitation, William ran to the door of his office and rushed down the stairs toward the burning hall. He shouted for everyone to leave the place immediately, but there was no one around. The restaurant was empty; he was truly alone.
The fire seemed to have started spontaneously at some point in the hall, and now it was spreading rapidly, consuming furniture, curtains, and decorations. William grabbed a fire extinguisher near the entrance, but he realized it would be futile to try to put out the flames alone.
"This can't be happening. It can't be true!" he whispered, feeling the situation slip out of his control.
William knew he needed to call for help, but panic and the sense of isolation began to cloud his reasoning. He grabbed his cell phone to call the firefighters, but his hands were trembling so much that he could barely dial the emergency number.
After what seemed like an eternity, William finally managed to call the firefighters and describe the situation. While waiting for their arrival, he tried, in vain, to use the extinguisher again, but the fire had already spread too far.
The flames had seriously damaged part of the Circus Baby Pizza World's hall, including the area where William had been working on Funtime Freddy. Smoke began to build up, making the air increasingly difficult to breathe.
Feeling powerless and desperate, William tried to open doors to allow the smoke to escape, but the fire was spreading quickly, making the situation even more dangerous.
As he waited for the firefighters' arrival, William realized that his obsession with his animatronic projects and his malicious actions had led to this catastrophe. He was about to lose everything he had built.
Finally, the firefighters arrived at the scene and started battling the fire. William was relieved to have help, but he also felt guilty and responsible for all the destruction.
When the fire was finally under control, William surveyed the devastating result of the fire. He was alone, surrounded by debris and ashes, and he realized that his selfish actions had led him to this moment of loneliness and desolation.
William sees that the restaurant is no longer suitable to open and turns away, leaving sadly.
