"Are you sure you're alright?" Tae asked worriedly as he had his hands on Liam's shoulder. He seemed very concerned for him, and the other 4 Town members noticed.
"I... I don't know..." Liam spoke. "I'm... I never felt like this before. I never was that unstable..."
Aaron T noticed the ball underneath the chair Liam was sitting on. The chair had fallen over, the ball pit ball was still in the same place. T went over to it and picked it up. "What is this?"
Liam turned his head and looked at him. He gasped a bit and backed away.
"W-What's wrong?" Tae quickly looked back at Liam once he felt he left his grasp.
"Where did that come from? They've been all over the stadium. I thought I cleaned it up. Huh, I must have left one," Jeese said, taking the ball from Aaron T.
But, Aaron Z noticed that Liam was still looking at the ball like he was fearful of it. "Liam... Do you know why all these balls are all over the place?"
Liam saw Tae look up at him.
He did know what they were. But, only just. He knows that he somehow fell into the ball pit to reach here, but he doesn't know how that's possible. "I... I don't know," He didn't know what to say, but he saw that 4 Town wasn't believing him.
So-
He tried to explain to them.
"Okay. So... let me get this straight-," Jesse began. "In the world you came from- You as the robot rabbit, walked over to the restaurant's ball pit, got dragged inside by another robot rabbit, that is golden, and... then you ended up here?"
"That would explain the scattered balls," Aaron Z commented.
"Liam, why didn't you tell me this?" Tae asked, looking at Liam with a mix of concern and curiosity.
"I... don't know. I thought you wouldn't believe me,"
"Dude, we see that you can turn into a robot thing," Aaron T said with a chuckle.
"Not to mention, we literally have a door that can lead to multiple dimensions. You falling into a ball pit doesn't faze me in the slightest," Jeese said, folding his arms.
Relieved that they believed him, Liam thanked them, and a brief silence ensued until Tae inquired, "So, this golden rabbit you mentioned... what happened to it?"
The others nodded. "Yeah, where did it go? It dragged you into the ball pit, shouldn't that mean—"
"Oh shit!" Robaire yelled. "It's here with us?! Look, I guess I can slowly come around to Liam's robot, but a golden one that seems to be evil? Oh hell no! I don't want that thing near me!" Robaire yelled, grabbing onto Jesse's arm out of fear.
"Calm down Robaire... it isn't here, at least I don't think so," Jeese said.
Liam looked at them. "It said... It wanted someone called Oswald..."
Robaire blinked, then looked up at Liam. He eased from Jeese's arm. "Who?"
"Oswald? Who's that?" Tae asked.
"I- I... I have no idea," Liam said. "I know as much as you guys."
Tae looked at his other friends. "Did you guys see another person here or something?"
"Other than Liam? No," Robaire said.
"Haven't seen any other animatronic but his blue rabbit either," Aaron T said, as he threw the ball into the air and caught it. But doing so a second time, he missed, "Oh crap!" He tried to catch the ball, but it hit the ground rolled over to Liam, and hit his foot.
Liam then felt a shock go through him. His skin turned blue, just before he turned into Toy Bonnie once again.
It didn't take anyone any more time to realize the ball was doing this. "AHH!" Robaire yelled.
"Liam!" Tae gasped, looking up at the 10-foot animatronic. Once again, Liam couldn't take control. Toy Bonnie was glitching up. Tae looked down at Toy Bonnie's hands. He quickly grabbed it. "Liam, calm down!" He said. He tried to comfort him.
Liam tried to listen to Tae, and... it worked. He got calm. He tried to loosen himself, and the strain went away. He opened his eyes, to see that he was closer to Tae Young. He was a human again. And not the robot.
"Jesse... that rabbit is horrifying," Robaire said, as he was practically one with Jesse. He did not want to bear near Toy Bonnie at all.
"It's the freaking ball!" Aaron T said. "You guys saw that right? It rolled over to his foot, and then he turned back into the animatronic,"
"But why..." Liam said. "And as I said... I wasn't this unstable as Toy Bonnie. I mean... I never used to could talk to humans. At least, not clearly... But other than that... I never glitched like that..." Liam said, with a sigh.
"Maybe you just need to calm yourself when you're Bonnie? Maybe practice being it, so when you do change into it, you can regain control?" Tae suggested.
Liam thought about it. Maybe he could do that.
"There must be a way for you to talk," Tae spoke. "I heard you before. But it was very quiet..."
"Yeah, Tae, that takes a lot of my energy..." Liam said. "It's possible, but I felt like I was dying again when I tried to make a sound,"
"Oh..." Tae said sadly.
"But... I can use the voicebox," Liam said.
"Voicebox?" Tae said tilting his head. "What voicebox?"
"That speaker that's in the middle of Toy Bonnie's chest," Liam told him.
"Oh, that was a speaker?" Aaron Z asked.
"Dude, it literally looked like a speaker. The hell you thought it was?" Aaron asked.
"Wow, so you can use that to speak? Well, why didn't you then? Does it take more energy?" Tae asked.
Liam shook his head, "Nah, it's just been broken. I can't use it if it's damaged,"
"Darn," Tae grunted.
"Broken?" Jesse perked up. "Maybe I can fix it. I'm good with tools,"
"Fix it? But that'll mean Liam has to be Toy Bonnie for you to do that," Tae pointed out.
"I can try. I know he's unstable as it is, but if it means he'll be able to talk to us as the robot, it'll be worth it,"
Tae blinked, then looked over at Liam. "Liam... are you up for that?"
Liam sighed, realizing it might be necessary. He hadn't used the voicebox in a while. He had tried once during the day to make a child happy by saying their name, but it had raised suspicions among the staff, who believed someone was hacking into the animatronic systems.
Tae walked over to Aaron T and took the ball from him. "Liam... are you sure you wanna forcefully turn back into the animatronic?"
Liam nodded.
"Okay..." Tae said nodding. "Brace for it..." He reached over slowly and placed the blue ball onto Liam's shoulder.
There was a zap, and Tae quickly stepped away, just as Liam warped into his robot.
Once again, Toy Bonnie's head was twitching, and there was a single white dot in both pitch-black eyes, Seeing this, Robaire hid behind Jeese again.
"Alright-, wait here," Jeese said as he went to get his tools.
There was a problem. Once Jeese came back with his tools, he and everyone soon realized that they didn't know what they were doing.
They wanted to fix the speaker, but they didn't know how to access it. "Oh shit... guys, how am I gonna... do I need to take the entire voice box out? How do I do this?" Jeese said, poking around the rim of the speaker. He was trying to find a latch, or a screw, or anything. He there was nothing.
"Shit, we should have asked Liam how we are supposed to open it..." Tae grunted. "Now what are we gonna do?"
Liam could hear them speaking. He tried to keep still, but he was still shaking. Because he wasn't trying to talk to them, he stayed relatively still and wasn't moving too much.
He didn't want to try to warp back, and then back to Bonnie again, so he tried to use some energy to talk to them. But he knew it wasn't gonna be easy. But, all he needed to say, was a few words.
Liam got ready, then spoke-
"The... Button... on the face..."
There was a slight whisper. Tae heard it. "L-Liam? What did you say?"
Liam tried to say it again.
"The button... The face-plate..."
Aaron T blinked. "Okay, I heard the word plate. Is he talking about a plate of food...or?"
"He said face...plate...?" Tae puzzled.
Jeese looked up at Toy Bonnie's face. "I think what was said, was face-plate," Jeese pointed to Toy Bonnie's head. "What we need is there..." But Toy Bonnie's head was glitching. Not as constant as before, since he's not trying to talk as much, or is scared as he was before, but it was still glitching nonetheless. Jesse was worried about what would happen to his hand if it got caught mid-glitch.
After looking at Toy Bonnie's head, he finally saw the button. "Okay... here goes,"
He quickly went to press it. The button clicked, and the face plates opened up then Toy Bonnie's eyes fell, and dropped to the floor.
Robaire gasped at it, but then seeing Toy Bonnie's face open, exposing the metal skull, was too much for Robaire, and he fainted. "R-Robaire!" Aaron Z gasped, and caught him.
"Oh shoot!" Jeese said once the eyes fell, he tried to catch them, but they landed on the floor with a loud bang.
Liam got worried and thought someone got hurt, he also winced when he noticed Robaire had fallen over.
Aaron Z held onto Robaire and then looked up at Toy Bonnie. "Oh geez... What do we do now?"
"The... button on the jaw..." Liam tried to speak.
Jesse only caught the word 'Jaw'
So, he looked at it. He quickly saw the button, and he quickly went to press it.
Then- there was a loud clang sound, as the chest capacity slowly opened from two doors, with the speaker in the middle below the bow tie, revealing the inner workings of the Toy animatronic.
"Woah..." Tae said in awe.
"Same here..." Jeese said. He looked directly at the speaker. "It... looks fine to me. There's probably just a faulty wire..."
And that's what it was. Liam tried to keep still as Jeese worked on the voice box. And after a while, it was finally fixed. "There, done... I think," Jesse shut the chest doors, then the face plates shut with it.
But Liam realized it wasn't done. They needed to test it out.
"You... Need to turn... Me on..." Liam garbled.
Jesse squinted his eyes. "You guys caught what he said?" He turned around to the bandmates.
Aaron Z shrugged.
"I caught turn him on," Tae said.
Aaron T had a confused look on his face. "Turn him on? Like... sexually?"
Even though Liam was ever so slightly unstable, after hearing that, Toy Bonnie's head lifted up, and he yelled out "What?!" His voice sounded garbled, but everyone made out what he said.
Aaron Z busted out laughing, and pushed Aaron T. "Dude?! Get your mind out of the gutter!" He laughed at Aaron T.
Tae face palmed, giggling himself.
Jesse shook his head and looked back at Toy Bonnie. "Liam must have meant to turn on the robot..." Jesse looked around the frontal part of the animatronic. "But I don't... know how to do that," He said after.
"I thought you were good with things like this?" Aaron T smirked.
Jesse sighed. "Radios and such. The speaker is more my strength. I just don't know how to turn on a robot,"
"Bow tie..." They heard Liam whisper.
Jesse looked up at the animatronic rabbit. "Hmm? Bow tie?"
Liam was at his breaking point of collapsing. He has been using too much energy. But he had to stretch it out. "The Bow tie... turn it... two times to the right... then... left..."
Jesse tried to follow along. He looked at the red bow tie. "Alright... I caught two times to the left and then right. I'm gonna assume you meant my right..." Jesse reached for the bow tie, then turned it to times to the right, then left.
There was a clank sound.
"Holy hell!" Aaron Z gasped from behind Jesse.
Toy Bonnie stopped glitching, and it lowered down a bit. As if... the animatronic shut down.
Jesse stepped back a little.
"What's happening?" Tae asked. "Is he okay?
"I don't know," Jesse said. "I did what he told me. I really hope it was supposed to be my right and left-,"
Then, Jesse got cut off, by Toy Bonnie making a sudden jerk, it quickly stood upright, and its eyes opened to reveal the animatronic's normal eyes. "H-Hey kids! And welcome to Freddy Fazbear's P-P-P-Pizza! L-L-Let's ROCK!" Toy Bonnie's waist turned, followed by his arms, then his torso tilted a bit, his head turned towards the band members, his eyes were delayed a bit. Then rose its arms up to them, and waved at them.
Everyone stood there, staring at what was happening.
"Holy shit..." Tae said smiling.
"Honestly, same... He's moving like an actual robot..." Aaron Z said. By then Robaire woke back up, but after seeing Toy Bonnie moving in performance mode, he almost passed out again.
Aaron T was laughing. "Why did his voice sound like a chipmunk,"
"It sounded a little shaky at the end..." Jesse said. "Maybe the voice box needs some-,"
Then, Toy Bonnie stomped off and pushed past the band members.
"W-What? L-Liam? Where are you going?" Tae asked, blinking. He turned around and looked at Toy Bonnie walking away.
"Ahh!" Robaire yelled and hid behind everyone.
"What's happening? Why did he step off?" Jesse asked.
Toy Bonnie stopped. Its head looked around.
"Error..." It said.
"What?" Aaron Z asked.
"Error..." It repeated.
The band members looked at each other.
"Error... Pathfind not found..."Toy Bonnie spoke.
Tae blinked. "Pathfind?" He asked. He looked at Jesse. "What's a pathfind?"
"Error. Pathfind not found..." Toy Bonnie reapted.
Sounds of gears turning could be heard from the animatronic, and it turned around, facing 4 Town.
Tae thought it was Liam turning back around to them all, but... it wasn't.
The animatronic's eyes went red.
"Intruders..." It said to the band members. "Intruders..."
Tae gasped, and backed up. "W-What?"
"Intruders..." Toy Bonnie stepped closer. "Fazbear's is closed... Intruders..." The robot started to walk a bit faster towards Tae and the others.
"Uhh... should we run?" Aaron T asked with a worried expression coming on his face.
"I think we should!" Tae yelled.
