1F – Living Room

8:30 PM

Cue Music:

Final Fantasy 13-2 Main Theme Wish

Vanessa and Gregory had just got home from the Pizzaplex an hour ago. She, Gregory and Cassidy had had dinner with the rest of the gang at El Chips.

Cassidy had just dropped them off at their home in her 2011 Civic Si, they said their goodbyes, hugged then headed inside as Gregory got his stuff together for another school day tomorrow, he walked by the Christmas tree that was now put up in the living room. The tree already had presents underneath it addressed to him, Vanessa, as well as some of the glamrocks.

Gregory with his bag of gym clothes still in his hands, stopped to looked at some of the gifts under the tree as Vanessa was about to head to her room she noticed him there with a smile on his face. He turned the lights on the tree, the glow of the lights dancing in a cycling pattern. There was even ornaments hanging off the tree with the glamrocks logos on them.

Ha…it's kind of crazy to think…the people I was most afraid of that night at the Pizzaplex have become the people I love the most. I actually have a family again…a real family…I don't care if most of them are machines on the inside and one of them used to be a crazy rabbit lady. I can't believe I almost forgot what it was like to have a mom like Vanessa, or well in this case moms, when I think of Roxy too. A dad like Freddy, siblings like Cassidy and, uncles like Foxy, Bonnie and Monty.

I can't believe it's our first Christmas together, it's their first Christmas outside the Pizzaplex.

Stockings for literally everyone adorned the fireplace. This was home.

"Hey kiddo, excited for your first Christmas with us?" Vanessa said sitting by the boy in front of the tree.

"Yeah! I can't wait mom. It's also the first time the band has ever celebrated Christmas outside the Pizzaplex isn't it?" Gregory asked.

"Yup, they've never had a chance to celebrate outside the Pizzaplex, at least not for themselves…More often than not when Jason was CEO he put them on a winter concert tour to play for audiences. They, never really had a chance to celebrate it on their own terms amongst themselves. But…that changes this year!" Vanessa said trying to lighten up the mood.

"I can't believe the year is almost over." Gregory said looking up at the tree. A neon lit star provided by Freddy was on the top. It's neon glow reminding him of how Freddy calls him "Superstar".

"Yeah…time sure flies by….you don't even fit in your father's cake compartment anymore."

"I know it's really crazy to think about…I didn't realize how many months it had been since that night. It was an awful night but if I had never snuck into the pizzaplex, I'd never have a dad like Freddy or a mom like you Vanessa." Gregory said.

"Despite how awful it was, I can say the same, little hero. If it weren't for you, the real me would have still been stuck in those games. Come here." Vanessa said hugging her adoptive son.

"Mom!" Gregory said.

"My Greggy is the best thing that has happened to me." She said hugging him tighter and kissing his forehead.

"You too mom." The two sharing the moment with smiles.

"Now I know it's a school night, but we got an hour to kill before bed. So what say I make us some popcorn and we watch a movie?" Vanessa asked.

"I can never say no to that. Also load it up with that exotic butter you always buy." Gregory said.

"You know I switched to a low cal alternative right? We just had a workout not that long ago. Besides as tasty as Fazbear Exotic Butter is, it's not exactly good for you. Even Freddy is working with the food division on trying to get the formula replaced with a healthier alternative." Vanessa said walking over to the open kitchen.

"Sigh…why does the bad stuff always taste amazing?" Gregory asked from the living room couch.

"Because it's bad for us." Vanessa laughed.

"I envy the animatronics like Monty, remember this past thanksgiving we had to buy two turkeys? He ate like half of it and felt perfectly fine. I wish we could eat like that." Gregory said.

"Yeah but he's a robot with a new nanomachine stomach. Even if we could eat like that Gregory, it still wouldn't be good for us." Vanessa was putting the popcorn in the microwave.

She set the timer and started the microwave.

Meanwhile….

"Sir we are in position outside the home…let me know when we're ready to deploy the units." A man dressed in tactical gear with a gas mask on his head, said on his radio unit.

"Is the boy and his mother inside?" Eclipse said on the radio.

"Affirmative."

"Deploy the endo solders…LongJack. This will be a great test of their combat ability….Also…have some fun with it. Make it as messy as you possibly can." He grinned.

"I thought William just wanted us to dispatch the boy, his mother and then get out ASAP?"

"Sometimes you need to set an example. The machines can take pictures through their ocular sensors, they also have the same optics as Roxanne thanks to some blueprints we gained access to. That could make for some interesting combat data to analyize later. Let's see if the boy is as strong as they say he is….Deploy the tactical bear's and wolves' now." Eclipse said.

"This LongJack to basegirl, permission to deploy the weapon has been granted."

"3 self-piloting trucks with special plates on them are 1 minute away. Mission begins now. Tapping into the homeowner's cams in the neighborhood to gather battle footage." Basegirl said.

"What about police, law enforcement? How long of a window do we have?" LongJack asked.

"With our other distractions at play, I'd say 10 minutes tops. Get the job done, eliminate the target and then get out. If they can't finish the job, you have Williams direct permission to eliminate the targets yourself, regardless how much of a hardon Eclipse has for extending the carnage beyond mission parameters." Basegirl said.

The three black 2035 Mitsubishi Fuso FE160's, modified with AI self-driving technology pulled up to the street silently with their lights off.

"Understood Ma'am. Engaging now." LongJack said readying his Heckler and Koch MP5 submachine gun.

He pulled up his smartphone and opened an app that allowed direct command over the units. The units were Bear model, Chicken and Wolf model glamrock animatronics both male and female variants mixed dressed in the same tactical uniform as LongJack. The backs of the trucks opened as they poured out in formation equipped with night vision and X-ray vision in their optics, armed with Kalashniknov USA KR-103's, a series of 7.62mm rifles based off the AK-47.

Waiting for command from admin….

LongJack pressed "Engage".

"Gregory, popcorn is done!" Vanessa said cheerfully.

Gregory was walking across when Vanessa saw a red laser sight coming through the dining room window.

"GREGORY GET DOWN!" She screamed.

A hail of automatic gun fire exploded into the room. Gregory had ducked for his life his bullets were flying overhead.

"Mom what's happening!?" Gregory yelled out.

"Come to me now, crawl!" Vanessa yelled.

Gregory quickly made his way over to his mother on his hands and feet.

They both made their way into the basement. Vanessa has a second gun safe in the basement and Gregory keeps his new improved exosuit in Vanessa's tech lab in the basement.

They made their way into the basement shutting the door behind them.

"Mom what's going on? Is it Vanny?" Gregory asked.

"Maybe I don't know. Right now we need to focus on making it out of here alive and getting help. C'mon." Vanessa said switching over from her motherly side to the serious side she had the night of the pizzaplex incident.

Vanessa lead Gregory into her tech lab, a room that was like the Parts and Service area at the Pizzaplex, with the same repair chair and equipment, along with various other technology and hardware.

She used the code 1987 to get into the secure room. The steel plated door firmly closing behind them. It would hold off any intruders for quite awhile. They could hear them making their way into the house above.

The lab was well lit with white led lighting and Gregory's suit lie in wait on a podium charging. A smile crept on his face upon seeing it.

Vanessa was now in full survival mode, her old combat instincts kicking in to save both herself and her child. She opened a secure high tech weapons locker to reveal her spiked glamrock bracelet's and neck choker along with Gregory's spiked glamrock bracelets. Once she found out they were actually secretly anti-remnant weapons she stored them down here.

"Quick Gregory put these on."

He did not hesitate as he knew exactly what they were.

"Gregory it's time to suit up."

He nodded and walked up to his suit, slipping on the FazArmor, as it's now dubbed since it's last major upgrade, one piece at a time.

Vanessa opened another compartment. She had her black tactical pants ready along with knee pads, elbow pads, bullet proof tactical vest with various pockets and magazine holders, long sleeve black shirt, black fingerless gloves and Bluetooth headset to pair with her black FazWatch. She started changing then and there taking her shorts off, while her son changed on the other side of the room.

After she got her new outfit on, she got out her new VR80 Semi-Automatic Shotgun and her fabled Beretta M9A1 handgun.

Gregory now has his FazArmor on, the exoskeleton armor looking like a high end futuristic tactical outfit. He had his fingerless gloves and spiked bracelets on with parts of the exoskeleton armor connected to his specialized fingerless gloves designed to augment the strength in his hands as well, not just his body.

Vanessa saw in her son in his new armor in awe. Finally he slipped on the high tech helmet with Freddy ears on it. He pressed a button and the Glamrock endo-based HUD inside the helmet loaded up showing his heart rate, environmental conditions, as well as battery life and the fact the HUD was now paired to his smartphone in his pocket.

The suit's AI voice was based on Roxanne Wolf's.

"Ready for use." She said.

"Ready Big Hero?" Vanessa asked.

"You bet mom." Gregory said.

Meanwhile…..

8:30 PM

Freddy and Roxanne had just walked back from their last show of the night with Chica and Monty meeting up with them. They just dressed back into their lounge attire backstage and were about to take a shortcut to their apartments in Rockstar Row avoiding the public since they were getting ready to settle in for the night while staff would be cleaning up areas and putting stage equipment away.

All was well until a notification displayed on their HUDs.

"FazArmor has been activated."

"Oh no…." Roxanne said.

"If he's wearing the new armor…." Chica said.

"That means Vanessa and Superstar are in trouble." Freddy said.

A loud scream and commotion of shopping crowds in the mall running away got their attention.

Back at Vanessa's house….

"Have you found them?" LongJack said.

"Why do you hide?" Bear F-021 said. A male glam rock bear.

"He can't hide forever." Wolf R-090 said. A female glam rock wolf.

"Come out where ever you are…." Chicken C-191 said. A female glam rock Chicken.

The various drone animatronics walked around the house with their human commander all armed with their weapons.

Gregory got in a fighting stance.

The boy and his mother nodded at each other. Vanessa opened the door and readied her Shotgun.

"I've found him!" Wolf R-288 said.

"Activating combat mode." The exosuit AI said in Roxanne's voice.

As soon as Wolf R-288 raised her weapon, Vanessa already sent a shotgun blast through her eyes.

"My eyes!" She shouted while stunned and blind.

Gregory followed up by picking up Wolf R-288 and slamming her through a wall with his enhanced strength thanks to the suit. He brought his foot down on her metal skull crushing it. Wires and component's flying everywhere.

"Sorry but my Roxanne is better." He said.

They made their way upstairs opening up the basement door into the back den where 5 more animatronic soldiers were.

"Who want's Candy?" Chicken C-191 said lifting her KR-103 opening fire on them while laughing manically.

"Superstar…..Gregory….." Bear F-021 said joining in and opening fire on them.

Vanessa and Gregory had managed to duck behind a table but it would only do so much. Once Vanessa has an opening when they needed to reload, she took her VR80 shotgun and aimed it into the Chicken's mouth, blowing off it's circuits off and it's voicebox to pieces. Vanessa was about to finish her off when Bear F-021 grabbed her and lifted her up from behind.

"You cannot run from me."

"Mom!" Gregory went into action using his great exoskeleton strength to rip off the C-191 chicken drone's head from her body and hurl it precisely at the head of Bear F-021 to stun it's servos.

The bear dropped Vanessa and then came to. He stopped shooting and went hand to hand swiping his claw at her. But Gregory intervened grabbing the bears arm and stopping it from completing it's full swing.

"Such a pathetic child can not stop me." Bear F-021 back handed Gregory sending him into a wall in the den.

"G…Gregory!" Vanessa cried out as she started firing several rounds into the bear but to no avail. It was walking right towards her until Gregory dived on it's back.

"Leave. My mom. Alone!" Gregory shouted.

As she saw her son struggling with the bear, she had an idea.

There was special rounds she had access to for the shotgun.

"Gregory hold on!"

Gregory fought until he managed to cause the bear to slam into their kitchen wall. It stumbled in front the large glass window in the dining room.

"Gregory get out of the way!" Vanessa said as she fired dragons breath rounds at Bear F-021, causing the bear animatronic to be set on fire as it fell out the window into the cold outside air and snowy ground. She fired more of the flame rounds into it's "cake compartment", if it even had one. It would have to turn through it's tactical gear and vest first.

"MALFUNCTION…..Mallllfunction…..mallllfunction…." The bear's last words were before it's head melted down to it's endoskeleton skull. The flames dancing in the night.

As they looked out the window a man in tactical gear opened automatic gun fire on them, Vanessa fired back with her shotgun. Gregory ran out the door.

"Gregory what are you doing!" Vanessa said in fear of her son getting shot.

Gregory tackled the man and took his MP5 weapon from him before slamming him into the ground.

Gregory now held the weapon and had the weapon aimed at him.

"Hahaha….so kid….you think you've won this? This was nothing….this was just the beginning." The man said. Vanessa went outside keeping her gun aimed on the man as well.

"What the hell are you talking about!? Who are you!? Did Vanny send you!?" Vanessa said.

"This was just a test….and it was most impressive Gregory. They can't wait to see what else you can do, it will teach them to improve newer models…." LongJack said.

"Who do you work for!?" Vanessa demanded.

"I'll never tell…." LongJack said pointing to his vest as a beeping around could be heard.

"Gregory get away from him!"

As they ran from the man, a smoke screen bomb in his vest went off leaving a thick cloud of smoke. When the smoke cleared LongJack was gone. He managed to get away swiftly while the thick smoke clouded the area.

Gregory and Vanessa got up choking on the smoke from the smoke blast. She checked her son for injuries, they both were fine.

"What the hell is going on?" Vanessa said looking at her destroyed home and carnage around them.

She could see inside the living room, the tree with it's lights was still intact along with the rest of the room.

At least everyone's gifts will be okay.

"Mom…our home…" Gregory took his helmet off looking at the house.

"Gregory all that matters right now is were still alive." As she held him.
