"Take them to Parts and Services. Worst case scenario is we have to transfer memories to the replacement suits in stock. Be sure to rid of all memories of tonight. I won't let anyone else interfere with my moment…"
Vanessa blinks as the mechanical tubing bots work at rapid speed to repair the animatronics before her. She hope they wouldn't have to be replaced. Granted, the replacement suits are the exact replica. It would be the transferring of all the data and whatnot – that alone would take hours, the Pizzaplex is opening in a couple more hours and they're schedule to perform at noon – she didn't have the time, patience, or energy to deal with it.
"Repair and Restoration complete." The overhead announces. The repair bots disperse into different corners, revealing a shiny new Freddy, Monty, Roxy, and Chica. Not a scratch in sight, like they didn't go through a battlefield just moments prior. She awakens all of them wearing frighten and confused expressions. Might as well reprimand them and get it over with. "You idiots! Why did you guys do it?" She shouts, prompting their attention to her. "It's stupid that you four nearly got destroyed because of a kid. A kid! I said no funny business tonight. Now I got to wipe your memories and all events of what took place, so this place doesn't get sued."
Roxy's eyes widen. "Wipe our memories? What about Gregory? Where is he?"
"Why does that matter?" She snares, flipping on the computer. "After this, you are all on lockdown. No roaming about unless the PizzaPlex is opened and filled with children."
"Vanessa please, you cannot do this!"
"Gregory's in trouble, you have to let us out!"
"Shut it," She snaps as she began the process. "Two hours and 46 minutes. Ugh, my head."
"Press 'continue' to begin backup transfer files." The overhead voice states. She goes to click.
"Vanessa, you don't have to do her bidding."
"What are you going on about now Freddy? Stop distracting me."
"Listen, please. We know Colleen is controlling you, but you can fight it. We can't let her plan succeed – whatever it is – but if she kills Gregory, who's to say that she won't continue killing other children."
"Oh, for the love of God, Freddy! I'm not under a mind control. And why do you care whether a kid is killed or not?"
Freddy looks at his friends before back at her. "Because it's our calling."
Vanessa froze.
"Vanessa please, all he wanted to do is save his dad." Chica pleads. "And something tells us that you know where he is."
The woman sighs.
Press the button.
Her hand hovers over the cursor.
Do it you coward!
Stop it.
You will not mess up my plan Vanessa! Do it!
Fine.
She closes her eyes and clicks.
That's what I thought.
Vanessa counts to three and opens her eyes, to see the animatronics release and onto their feet.
Monty smirks. "I knew you were too good of a person."
"And if you tell so much of one soul, you are a dead gator." Vanessa threatens. "Follow me." She leaves Parts and Services, entering a hallway. "Freddy and Monty, knock down this wall."
"Why the wall? What's behind there?"
"Oh God, Monty! Shut up and do it."
"On three Monty." Freddy instructs and a count, they knock down the wall. Vanessa rushes ahead of them and bangs on the door. "Frank! Franklin!"
"Vanessa?"
"Ah! A ghost!" Chica squawks. Vanessa tries opening the lock without fail. "Crap! Stupid code!"
"Allow me." Roxy presses a few buttons, and the lock bolt opens, revealing an injured but alive Franklin Silo. The man didn't know whether to be scared or grateful that 8 feet tall robots and his colleague rescuing him.
"Aww, I see where Gregory gets his good looks from." Chica admires. He opens his mouth in shock. "Gregory? Where is he?"
"We don't' have time to stand and explain. We need to go." Vanessa pulls on him, forgetting about his injuries before Chica and Freddy assist him.
"Vanessa, what is going on? Where is my son?"
"We'll explain everything on the way, but we have to hurry!"
"We get there, how we gonna stop her?" Monty inquiries. The security guard ponders for a moment.
"I have just the thing."
He couldn't feel were his hands. No, wait…he could move them, he couldn't move his wrists, as they were tied down by an unusual material. Same for his ankles, kneecaps, and shoulder blades. And of course, he couldn't see because of the darkness. He was sure he was dead.
"Wakey, wakey, superstar." Vanny's voice emits. The lights on, irritating his pupils.
Or maybe it's seeing the bunny woman hovering over him. He yelps and despite knowing good and well he was tied down, frantically wiggles on a gurney-like table. Vanny grabs ahold of his neck, pinning him still.
"You know Gregory," She starts before taking the mask off and revealing Colleen with a sinister smile. "You gave this old woman quite the workout. A lot more resilient than the other children, I'll give you that."
"What do you want with me?"
"The Golden Quest." Colleen releases her grip, beaming. "They said it couldn't be done, hundreds tried and here I am about to fulfill enteral prosperity. A chance to live forever. To never die! And with my Nightmarionne bots, I can take over the world, sacrificing children generation after generation to please the dark souls." She grabs his jaw smirking. "But when I kill you to gain that prosperity, it'll double as payback for the pain in the throne you've caused this company."
"You're insane lady!"
"Perhaps, but you won't live to stop me. All your 'friends' have been scrapped and replace with no memory of this. No evidence will be brought against me. And I would kill your father, but I'll let him live the rest of his misery days seeing his son in cold blood." Colleen turns toward a table on the other side of the room, hearing Gregory struggle painfully against the gurney. "Struggle all you want, my dear boy." She picks up the knife, still covered in blood from her last victim and wipes it off. After sharping it, she lets the light reflect off the blade. The presence of a dark entity fills the room, dimming the lights. They have arrived.
"It's been fun kid," She turns and holds the blade high above him. "Try not to scream too loudly."
"Wait, no, please!" Gregory pleads and she grabs his neck, squeezing it tighter than before. He felt something pulling at him and start yelling for help. He can't die, not by the hands of a crazy nutjob with an obsession for some fairytale.
A door blasts open and in through his tears, something tackles Colleen onto the ground. "Take your hands off me you stupid alligator!"
Monty. He felt the ties being cut off and lifted up by Freddy and Chica "Dad!" He jumps off the gurney and rushes into his father's arms.
"Unhand me!" Colleen is pinned to the wall by Monty assisted by Roxy. She spots Vanessa and smirks. "Dead, you're all dead! Vanessa call in the Nightmarionne bots." She orders, only for Vanessa to shake her head.
"You don't have ahold on me anymore," Vanessa states. "I have a different calling."
"It's over Colleen, you're done for."
"That's what you all think!" She retorts. The dark entity had gone and caused a fire by allowing the circuits to explode. "If I die, I'm taking you all with me!"
"Run!" Vanessa shouts, leading the group. The fire causes walls to collapse and enclosing them in. Monty and Freddy goes to break down walls, leaving Roxy and Chica with Colleen. The woman takes the moment of panic to break free from the animatronics, quickly retrieving the knife and darting towards Gregory, impaling the blade into his chest.
Or she thought she was impaling him. At that last moment, Vanessa had pushed the child out of the way, earning herself a blade to her side.
"You stupid woman! You got in my way!" Colleen was ranting before gaining the annoyance of the animatronics. Roxy aggressive slaps the elder woman, knocking her into the wall unconscious.
"Vanessa! You okay?" Gregory and his father helps her up and she smiles wearily. "I've been stabbed in worse places."
"Didn't think you'll be happy about that." Franklin leans her against him.
"The place is crashing, we got to move!" Freddy orders. He and Monty punches wall after wall, removing enough obstacles for them to reach the main floor, darting for the exits and far away enough in time for the PizzaPlex to go up in smokes before collapsing into the ground.
