Freddy ran out of the elevator, stepping into the Atrium. He tried to contact Gregory on the fazwatch. He received no response. "Gregory! Gregory, where are you!?" Freddy cried out, wildly searching for the boy. Ayla, Sun and Moon, along with Roxy, Chica, Bonnie and Foxy walked out of the elevator, meeting up with Freddy.
"Did you find him?" Chica asked him. Freddy shook his head. "No."
"Gregory's never acted like this before. I wonder what set him off. It was like he was afraid of us, like he didn't realize who we were." Ayla murmured. "He was like a totally different person." Her eyes widened and she reached into her pockets, only to find that the paper with the binary code was missing. It must have slipped out when she was dancing with Sun. Gregory must have found it.
"I don't know, but we need to find him. I'm not going to leave him alone." Freddy said.
"We could look over at gator golf?" Bonnie suggested.
"Or Mazercise, it's quicker over there." Chica replied.
"Are you crazy, lass? I don't think the kid went over there. That maze of yours is ridiculous, constantly changing pathways. It would take hours to solve it." Foxy replied.
"Well, do you have a brighter idea? I'd love to hear it!" Chica retorted, frowning. Ayla hummed in thought, thinking.
Maybe, Gregory did go over there. He was a smart kid. In fact, abnormally intelligent for a child his age. He wasn't normal. Just like her. Lost. Just like her...Ayla's eyes widened a little. Could Gregory actually be an animatronic!? That had to be it! She had the real Ayla's memories from her previous life. So, Gregory must have someone else's memories, who died, as well.
"Ayla?" Sun asked her. Moon noticed as well, his head turning as he saw her expression.
"I think that we should split up." Ayla replied. Everyone's eyes widened in surprise. Sun shook his head furiously.
"Absolutely not!" He shouted.
"I meant that you two can come with me." Ayla reassured him. Sun sighed in relief, glad that he wasn't going to be separated, while Moon silently stared at her. "While the others can go check other areas in the Atrium. It'll be quicker to find him this way." Ayla insisted.
"And then what do we do, knock him out? The kid's terrified of all of us." Foxy replied.
"Just contact Freddy and he can send out your signal." Ayla replied. The robot group split up, heading towards their destinations. Sun and Moon and Ayla headed towards the Mazercise walking inside. It was a small gymnasium covered in foam floors and plush balls and stairs. They left the room to get to the Mazercise maze only to find the door was opened and the pathway blocked.
"Seems like Gregory probably went through here." Ayla said.
"There's a control room right there that will move the maze." Moon pointed out. The three avoided the security bot patrolling the area and walked inside the room. Ayla flipped the switch and a lot of lights lit up as multiple buttons came on as well as the screen showing the maze just outside the room on camera. There was countless movable walls going each way.
"What kind of sick psychopath made this?" Ayla commented. Then she noticed an opened vent at the other end of the room in the maze. "Look! Gregory must have gone through there!" Sun and Moon and Ayla looked back to the complicated buttons on the wall that controlled the maze. Ayla walked over the buttons and started to push each one randomly.
"This is going to take hours." Moon groaned.
"H-Hours?! We don't have that kind of time!" Sun shouted.
"Done." Both Sun and Moon blinked and turned to Ayla as she pressed the last button and the last wall moved making a pathway towards the vent. She turned back to Sun and Moon who both stared at her silently in the dark in suprise. "What?"
"You're so smart!" Sun exclaimed, hugging Ayla as he wrapped his arms around her tightly.
"I-It's nothing. I've solved puzzles way more complicated than this." She hugged him back. "Come on, let's go!" The three headed inside the room, stepping inside the maze. The path felt like it was going to take forever with so many twists and turns and spirals as they continued to walk to get to the vent. As they reached near the vent, the walls began to move on their own about to crush them. Ayla felt a hard shove to her back as she was pushed towards the vent by Sun. Moon quickly jumped up and stuck onto the ceiling like a spider with his claws. He looked down seeing Sun trapped in a corner with walls surrounding him from all sides and Ayla standing by the vent.
"I'm going on ahead. You two catch up to me when you can." Ayla called out to Moon and Sun.
"No! I'll be right there! Just-" Sun banged against the wall as he slammed his body up against it. He let out a hiss in pain, holding his arm.
"That will take too long. Moon will come over to help you then the two of you will climb over to the vent and meet up with me on the other side." She told them.
"Wait!" Sun cried out. He jumped back when Moon crawled down the wall next to him.
"She's already gone, Sun. Come on. We need to get to her." Sun grabbed onto Moon as he scaled up the wall reaching the ceiling.
"How did the maze move on it's own?" Sun asked Moon. Moon hummed to himself wondering as well.
"I don't know. Probably Vanny." He spoke.
"We need to hurry, Moony." Sun said, urgently.
Ayla crawled through the vent until she reached the end and climbed out. She was in Monty's Gator golf. She looked down below to see Freddy and Bonnie along with Chica and Roxanne on the course. Across from her was a platform leading to a catwalk. Ayla's eyes widen. Gregory! She quickly crawled over to him. Gregory was sitting down with his head tucked into his knees, crying.
"Gregory." She whispered softly to Gregory, trying to not to scare him. Gregory lifted his head and his eyes widen and he crawled away from her.
"Don't come near me!" He cried out.
"Gregory, we are not here to hurt you. Look down there." Ayla pointed down to Freddy and the rest of the gang, showing him. "We've been looking for you. Freddy's worried sick about you."
"He-He is?" Gregory asked her.
"Yes. He cares about you a lot." Ayla nodded.
"I care about him, too." Gregory told her.
"What made you run from us like that?" Ayla questioned him. Gregory looked down avoiding her eyes.
"I-I don't think I'm what I think I am. I remembered something, something awful." Gregory told her.
"What do you mean?" Ayla asked.
"All I remember was a party, an older teenager surrounded by others as well. A robot, like Freddy but older, different. They wouldn't leave me alone and dragged me over to it while I begged them not to. Then I felt a sharp pain on my head and nothing. Everything went dark." Gregory told her. Ayla's widen a little.
"That sounds like a memory." She told him. "I understand. I get them from time to time."
"So I really am dead." Gregory said. 'I'm one of them, a monster."
"No, you're not." Ayla told him, making Gregory look at her. "All I see is a scared little boy, who is also very brave and smart, trying to survive. You're not alone, Gregory. We're all here to help you, if you let us." Ayla said, holding her hand out to him. Gregory looked down at it and slowly took her hand, standing up with her.
"Let's let Freddy know that you're safe." Ayla smiled. Gregory nodded and leaned over the railings to the catwalk, calling down to the bear animatronic. "Freddy!"
Ayla and Gregory saw Freddy look up to them, along with Bonnie, Chica, Foxy and Roxy, seeing them on the platform.
"Superstar, you're alright!" Freddy shouted in relief. Chica smiled.
"He's okay! Thank goodness."
"Hey, where's the twins? Sun and Moon, weren't they with you?" Bonnie asked.
"We've got separated in the maze. They should be coming back any minute." Ayla answered.
"Then let's get you two down from there. Gregory, it's almost six am! You can leave this place!" Freddy called out. Gregory's eyes widen. Ayla and Gregory thought for a moment wondering how to get down from the platform. The other way was blocked off and it was too far for them to jump. Then a loud roar rang out through the golf course. Ayla and Gregory's eyes widened, seeing Monty riding on one of the rides with his face on it from the ceiling. He hopped off from it, landing in front of Ayla and Gregory. Ayla pushed Gregory behind her as Monty began to stalk slowly towards them.
"Ayla!" Gregory cried out, pulling on her arm to run. Ayla ran, dragging Gregory behind her when Monty lunged at them as he jumped in the air. He slammed back down on his feet from where they once stood.
"You're not going anywhere."
"Monty! Stop! Leave them alone!" Freddy shouted. The gator ignored him, inching closer to Ayla and Gregory, who backed away from him. Ayla heard Chic cry out "Bonnie! Where are you going!?" and looked down to see Bonnie had hopped along another platform, climbing up to get to them. He landed in front of Monty, stopping the gator from reaching them. "You two skedaddle! I'll hold him back for as long as I can!" The glamrock shouted. Ayla turned her head, noticing some ball shooters. What were they doing up here? Wait a minute, they could come in handy! Ayla grabbed Gregory by his arm.
"Come on!"
Sun and Moon crawled out of the vent, seeing Monty fighting against Bonnie.
"We missed a lot." Moon said.
"There's Ayla! She's with Gregory!" Sun shouted, pointing over towards the two as they ran over to the ball shooters. Sun and Moon hopped across the platform, meeting up with them.
"We're fine! Go help Bonnie! Distract Monty!" Ayla shouted at the two. Moon turned, creepily rushing towards the two fighting animatronics on all fours. "Sun, go help them!" Sun shook his head, placing his hands on his hips. "I'm not leaving you alone again." Ayla sighed. She smiled at him seeing the animatronic turn his head as he looked back at her. She couldn't be angry at him. She loved him but Sun really needed to work his separation anxiety issues. She'll work on it later once this whole crazy thing and Vanny was dealt with. "Fine. Go over to the other shooters and start them up." She told him.
Moon joined up with Bonnie, trying to hold Monty back. "I don't know how you're back. But I'm going to smash you piece by piece until there's nothing left of you to fix."
"I don't know why you're angry at me. But Freddy considers you a friend. Don't make me do this. You're not thinking clearly, Monty. We can help each other!" Bonnie shouted at him. Monty pulled Moon off of him, roughing tossing to the side. Moon quickly grabbed onto the platform with his claws, stopping himself from falling. Then Monty pushed Bonnie back, making him fall onto the platform on his back. Before Bonnie could get back up again, Monty stomped his foot down on the rabbit animatronic's chest, pinning him down.
"Rock and roll!" Monty roared and adjusted his sunglasses. Bonnie struggled to push Monty's foot off of him but the gator, didn't move. He raised his claws getting ready to bring them down on Bonnie. "Say bye bye, Bunny."
"Hey Monty!" Monty stopped and turned his head, seeing Ayla, Gregory and Sun, standing in front of the ball shooters. "Have a nice fall!" The three fired the ball shooters at Monty, hitting the gator. The balls bounced off his body as it pushed him back as he tried to swat them away. He backed up, going further and further until his foot was met with empty air. Monty let out a scream as he fell off from the platform, plunging down to the golf course below. The group heard a snap followed by a crunch and a loud thud.
"Monty!" Chica cried out. Bonnie got up and helped pull Moon up and onto the platform. Ayla rushed to the railings looking down. Sun and Gregory followed her, looking down as well. Freddy, Chica, Roxy and Foxy were gathered around the gator as he laid on the course. He didn't move as he was out of power. The metal on his endoskeleton was shattered in several places as bits of wiring poked out through them. His legs were snapped and broken off laying a few feet away from the rest of the glamrocks.
"Let's get him into Parts and Services."
