A/N: Hey guys. After a long period of consideration, I have decided not to continue writing about another Disney World park or Universal Studios or whatever. For those of you who are disappointed, I have several reasons why I decided against it.

Firstly, time constraints. My laptop's screen broke and I had to get it fixed for the first half of my vacation, so I had nothing with which to write a chapter. I also went out a lot with my family a lot even after I got my laptop back, so I had no time to spare for Mike's New Ghostly Family last week. My rotation also started again this week, so I had no time to conduct the same level of research that I needed to do for the Magic Kingdom chapter. I simply do not have time to put in the level of effort necessary for another amusement park chapter, especially considering the fact that the Magic Kingdom chapter is long enough to cover 2 chapters in and of itself.

Secondly, while the Magic Kingdom chapter was well received, there haven't really been many calls for me to continue writing chapters for things like Hollywood Studios, Universal Studios, and the like. Writing the Magic Kingdom chapter frankly exhausted me, and I simply do not have the energy or motivation to writing a similar chapter. There's also the problem that my memories of the other amusement parks in Orlando is vague compared to Magic Kingdom, and even with research, the chapters would essentially end up as "the shitty version of the Magic Kingdom chapter." This would be a disservice to you guys, especially since I won't be able to post a chapter next week due to my shelf exam.

And finally, my mood and interests have recently shifted away from wholesome happy times to a darker temperament, at least regards to my runaway imagination. This aligns poorly with and would hinder my ability to properly write something wholesome and light, but is an EXCELLENT match for the OTHER big event that I promised would be coming right up…and I think you guys know what it is 😉

NOTE: Keep in mind that Infernal [[INSERT NAME]] and Nightmare [[INSERT NAME]] are the same being. I generally imagine Infernal as the Nightmares when their bodies are burning with Hellfire (basically Jack-O-animatronic) and Nightmare when they're not, though this isn't an official rule that you have to follow by any means.

AnonymousAsAlways: Glad to see that you're enjoying the fic so much! I promise there's more come! 😊

Chapter 94 – The Dealings of Demons

Though Mike and his children had no way of knowing it, his family was not the only one to have a Happy Holidays that year.

Nightmare sat upon his black throne, incredibly pleased with the events of the last few weeks. For centuries, he and his clan had stayed out of the numerous conflicts and power struggles that ravaged Hell's hierarchy, for there was no reason to involve himself in such affairs when there was little to be gained. And while his stance of neutrality had all but secured the position and control of the Nightmares over their own domain, it had also unfortunately come with the inconvenient detriment that there were more than a few who sneered at their lack of action, seeing it as weakness.

A fiction that he thoroughly and irrevocably destroyed when he had slaughtered Vucarik's legions on the war-torn battlefields of Gehenna.

All now knew of Nightmare's power, and of the utter horror and devastation he was capable of should he finally be motivated to act. The whispers of other demons that had once sneered at him and his family were now murmurs of relief and gratitude that his participation in Hell's affairs was minimal, for any he chose to side with would gain a mighty if not indomitable advantage indeed. The other demon lords who had fought alongside him against Vucarik's ill-fated rebellion had even opened up friendly communications with him, and while he refused to join any official alliances, he maintained amiable relationships with his fellow demon lords to the point of occasionally trading damned souls with them for their own twisted amusement. The fact that Lucifer himself had personally praised Nightmare for his role in breaking the traitor's schemes, despite his lack of overt loyalty and devotion to the Emperor of Hell before this moment, emphasized just how thoroughly circumstances favored the Nightmares at present.

Of course, such circumstances wouldn't last forever. Hell by its very nature was chaotic and capricious, and once the fortune that smiled upon him and his clan faded away he would need to counter the winds of fate with new plans and contingencies. But that was a problem for him to address in the future. At present, Nightmare had more pressing concerns to deal with.

"BROTHER…" Infernal Bonnie hissed as the Nightmares gathered in the throne room. The lesser Nightmares each conjured up a smaller version of Nightmare's black throne before taking a seat at the foot of their master. "BEFORE WE ADDRESS THE TOPIC OF THIS MEETING FOR TODAY, I HAVE A QUESTION I WOULD LIKE TO ASK YOU. ONE THAT I AM SURE THAT MORE THAN ONE OF US HAS IN MIND."

"SPEAK," Nightmare granted with a wave of his claw.

"IT CONCERNS THE HUMAN THAT YOU ARE ALLIED WITH…MIKE SCHMIDT," Infernal Bonnie explained. "WE HAVE ALL SEEN THE VISION NIGHTMARE FREDBEAR PRESERVED, HOW HE UTTERLY MASSACRED WILLIAM AFTON WHEN HE DARED TO ESCAPE FROM OUR CLUTCHES, HAVE WE NOT?"

Mocking laughs and cheers burst out from the mouths of the Nightmares. "IT WAS SIMPLY DELIGHTFUL TO WATCH!" Infernal Chica cackled. "THAT PATHETIC IMBECILE HAD NO IDEA WHAT WAS COMING. AND ALL THOSE TORTURES THAT SCHMIDT UNLEASHED UPON AFTON…I HAVE HALF A MIND TO TRY SOME OF THEM MYSELF!"

"NOT TO MENTION THE LEGIONS OF DARKNESS THAT HE SUMMONED…" Infernal Freddy growled appreciatively. "HIS INNER DEMONS ARE MUCH MORE POTENT THAN WHAT I WOULD HAVE EXPECTED FOR ONE WHO HAS COMMITTED HIMSELF TO WALK IN THE PATH OF THE LIGHT."

"AND THAT IS THE QUESTION," Infernal Bonnie continued, staring at his master questioningly. "WHY DO YOU NOT SEEK TO CORRUPT HIS SOUL AND BRING HIM DOWN INTO DAMNATION? WITH HIS DARKNESS, HE WOULD MAKE FOR A POWERFUL SERVANT AND ALLY."

Infernal Foxy's bared his fangs predatorily. "IF HE HAS EVEN A FRACTION OF THE POWER HERE THAT HE WOULD HAVE IN THE WORLD OF DREAMS, POWER THAT WE CAN SPARE IN SPADES, HE WOULD MAKE US UNSTOPPABLE!" he boasted.

Nightmare Fredbear rolled his eyes in contempt of his lesser kin's shortsightedness, but before he could dismiss Infernal Foxy's claim, Nightmare raised his claw and everyone instantly silenced themselves.

"DO YOU HONESTLY BELIEVE THAT I HAVE NOT GIVEN THIS MATTER THOUGHT?" Nightmare challenged, though his tone was filled more with amused condescension rather than wrath. "THAT I HAVE NOT FELT THE TEMPTATION TO BRING MIKE SCHMIDT INTO DAMNATION? IF I BELIEVED THAT SUCH AN ENDEAVOUR WOULD YIELD A DECENT CHANCE OF SUCCESS, WITHOUT RISK OF SIGNIFICANT DETRIMENT, I WOULD HAVE ALREADY BEGUN TO CORRUPT HIM LONG BEFORE NOW."

Infernal Bonnie didn't look convinced. "AND WHAT CAN POSSIBLY STOP YOU FROM DOING SO?"

"THERE ARE FAR MORE OBSTACLES TO SUCH A PATH THAN YOU ARE AWARE OF," Nightmare answered. "THE FIRST AND MOST IMPORTANT BEING THAT MIKE SCHMIDT HAS FAR TOO MANY ANCHORS FOR HIS MORALITY. THE GHOSTLY CHILDREN THAT HE HAS ADOPTED, HIS MOTHER, HIS ADOPTIVE FATHER, HIS FRIENDS TO A DEGREE. EVEN HIS BIRTH FATHER, THE ONE WHOSE ACTIONS CREATED THE DARKNESS IN SCHMIDT TO BEGIN WITH, TAUGHT SCHMIDT HOW TO FORGIVE. THERE ARE FAR TOO MANY BEACONS OF LIGHT IN HIS LIFE, BOTH IN HIS PAST AND PRESENT. THEY STRENGTHEN THE GOODNESS IN HIS SOUL TO SUCH A DEGREE THAT HE WOULD NEVER ALLOW THE EVIL WITHIN HIM TO TRIUMPH, AT LEAST NOT TO THE EXTENDED DURATION THAT WOULD BE REQUIRED FOR ME TO CORRUPT HIM SUCCESSFULLY."

Nightmarionne snorted. "I WOULD BE VERY SURPRISED IF SCHMIDT HAS COMMITTED AN ACT OF EVIL THAT IS ANYWHERE NEAR THE SAME DEGREE OF INTENSITY THAT HE DID TO WILLIAM AFTON WITHIN THE LAST FEW DECADES," he commented dryly. "AND CONSIDERING THAT THIS IS WILLIAM AFTON WE ARE TALKING ABOUT, I DON'T EXACTLY BLAME HIM."

Nightmare nodded to his brother. "AND AS FOR THE OTHER REASON, IT IS QUITE SIMPLE. HEAVEN HAS BEEN PAYING SPECIAL ATTENTION TO SCHMIDT'S FAMILY, IN PARTICULAR THE GHOST CHILDREN. THEY HAVE ALREADY ALLOWED SOULS OF THEIR RELATED LOVE ONES TO VISIT THEM MULTIPLE TIMES BOTH IN DREAMS AND IN REALITY, WHICH BY ITSELF IS AN ANOMALY. AND WHILE THEY HAVE CERTAINLY EXPERIENCED THEIR FAIR SHARE OF HARDSHIPS, ONE OF THE FIRST OF WHICH I WAS DIRECTLY RESPONSIBLE FOR, THEY HAVE BEEN ABLE TO TRIUMPH OVER EACH STRUGGLE THEY HAVE ACHIEVED. HEAVEN MAY NOT BE AIDING THEM DIRECTLY, BUT IT IS ALMOST CERTAINLY KEEPING WATCH OVER THEM, AND MORE THAN LIKELY EVEN SMILING UPON THEM."

The scarlet glow in Nightmare's eyes flashed. "YOU KNOW THE CODE BY WHICH I CONDUCT MY BUSINESS AND MY DESIGNS," he growled. "I WILL NOT COMMIT ACTS OF EVIL IF I HAVE LITTLE TO GAIN OR MUCH TO LOSE. I HAVE SPENT CENTURIES CAREFULLY CULTIVATING THE GOODWILL OF HEAVEN, EARNING US PRIVILEGES THAT OTHERS OF OUR KIND WOULD SLAUGHTER TO OBTAIN AND MINIMIZING THE KINGDOM OF LIGHT'S INTERFERENCE IN OUR AFFAIRS TO PRACTICAL NONEXISTENCE. AND I WILL NOT SACRIFICE THAT GOODWILL FOR THE SAKE OF A FOOL'S ERRAND THAT HAS SO LITTLE CHANCE OF SUCCEEDING THE VERY PROBABILITY IS LAUGHABLE!"

"ONLY A FOOL WOULD RISK TRANSFORMING A SECURE VICTORY INTO A CATASTROPHIC FAILURE FOR THE ILLUSION OF PERFECTION," Nightmare Fredbear agreed.

The Infernals nodded in acknowledgment of his words, though some, particularly Infernal Bonnie and Infernal Foxy, still appeared dissatisfied with his answer. The intensity in Nightmare's glare faded, and a grin began to spread across his face.

"BUT DO NOT WORRY, MY SIBLINGS," Nightmare assured them as he showed them his razor-sharp fangs. "I HAVE A…DIFFERENT PLAN IN MIND. ONE THAT, SHOULD IT PROVE SUCCESSFUL, WILL YIELD A RESULT VERY SIMILAR TO THE OUTCOME YOU HAVE ENVISIONED WITH THE CORRUPTION OF MIKE SCHMIDT, AT LEAST FOR OUR PURPOSES. ONE THAT WILL NEITHER INVOKE THE WRATH OF HEAVEN UPON OUR HEADS, NOR REQUIRE ME TO INFLUENCE THE MORALITY OF SCHMIDT'S SOUL IN THE SLIGHTEST."

"OOH….DO TELL, BROTHER!" she hissed, excitement gleaming in her and her siblings' eyes.

"PATIENCE," Nightmare answered. "IT MAY BE YEARS BEFORE THIS PLAN COMES TO FRUITION, AND THERE IS NO NEED FOR ME TO REVEAL THE DETAILS NOW. LET US TURN OUR ATTENTION TO…OTHER MATTERS. MORE IMPORTANT MATTERS."

"ARE WE NOW TO DISCUSS THE TORMENTS OF WILLIAM AFTON?" Infernal Freddy asked.

"INDEED," Nightmare confirmed. "WHILE LORD LUCIFER REWARDED WILLIAM AFTON AND VUCARIK WITH HIS PERSONAL ATTENTION FOR THEIR IMBELIC DEFIANCE, I HAVE COME UP WITH MY LATEST DESIGN TO BREAK HIM. WE ARE ALL FAMILIAR WITH THE SORDID HISTORY OF OUR HONORED GUEST, ARE WE NOT?" he asked, his voice practically dripping with mockery and venom at the two words. "HOW HIS NUMEROUS MURDERS AND BETRAYALS INITIATED THE CORRUPTION OF THE FREDDY FAZBEAR FRANCHISE, TURNING IT INTO A CARNIVAL OF DEATH, TERROR, AND DESPAIR? THE VERY FORMS THAT WE CURRENTLY WEAR ARE A REPRESENTATION OF THAT CORRUPTION."

Infernal Foxy rolled his eyes. "WE ALREADY KNOW THIS, BROTHER," he growled impatiently. "GET TO THE POINT."

"YOU ARE VERY FORTUNATE THAT I AM MORE MERCIFUL THAN MOST, FOR THERE ARE OTHERS WHO WOULD HAVE SLICED OPEN YOUR THROAT FOR YOUR INTERRUPTION," Nightmare snarled his retort. "BUT AS I WAS SAYING, WILLIAM MURDERED AND ENSLAVED THE SOULS OF HIS VICTIMS WITHIN THE ANIMATRONICS, DRIVING THEM MAD WITH RAGE. A RAGE THAT THEY UNLEASHED UPON INNOCENT VICTIMS, NIGHT GUARDS WHO HAD NO KNOWLEGDE OF THE DARKNESS THAT DESECRATED WHAT WAS ONCE AN INNOCENT CHILDREN'S SANCTUARY."

Infernal Freddy's eyes gleamed. "I THINK I AM BEGINNING TO SEE WHERE YOU ARE GOING WITH THIS," he mused.

"THE CHILDREN WILLIAM AFTON MURDERED CLAIMED THEIR VENGEANCE WHEN THEY PURSUED HIM INTO THE SPRINGLOCK SUIT, TURNING HIM INTO A MANGLED, BROKEN MONSTER EVEN MORE WRETCHED THAN THEM," Nightmare declared. "WHY NOT FORCE HIM TO SUFFER THE DESPAIR AND TERROR OF THE NIGHT GUARDS AS WELL? THROW HIM INTO A PRISON FASHIONED IN THE LIKENESS OF THE OFFICES OF THE FRANCHISE THAT HE CREATED AND CORRUPTED, AND TORMENT HIM THROUGH THE VERY SAME TRIAL THAT HE FORCED UPON OTHERS." Nightmare laughed with cruel amusement before continuing. "I MUST CONFESS THAT I AM QUITE CURIOUS. DOES AFTON POSSESS THE SAME SKILLS IN REPULSING HIS CREATIONS THAT HIS SON DOES? OR WILL HE PROVE HIMSELF UTTERLY INCOMPETENT ONCE AGAIN…AND PAY A HEAVY TOLL FOR HIS FAILURES? OF COURSE…" Nightmare sneered. "THE NIGHT GUARDS HAD TO DEAL WITH ONLY TEN ANIMATRONICS AT MOST. WE, ON THE OTHER HAND, HAVE NO SUCH LIMITATIONS..."

The Nightmares laughed with delight at Nightmare's suggestion…all save for one. "BROTHER…" Nightmare Fredbear growled, not sharing in his siblings' amusement. "WHILE YOUR IDEA IS CERTAINLY INVENTIVE, I HAVE SOME…CONCERNS, REGARDING ITS OVERALL EFFECTIVENESS."

"OH?" Nightmare asked. "AND WHAT WOULD THOSE BE?"

"AS ENTERTAINING AS IT WOULD BE TO WATCH WILLIAM AFTON BE BRUTALIZED BY HIS OWN CREATIONS, WOULD SUCH TACTICS NOT BE LESS EFFECTIVE THAN WHAT WE HAVE ALREADY EMPLOYED?" his golden-colored counterpart challenged. "ASSUMING THAT OUR RECREATIONS ARE FAITHFUL TO THEIR ORIGINAL BEHAVIOR, WHAT WOULD FREDDY FAZBEAR BE ABLE TO DO COMPARED TO US, LET ALONE LORD LUCIFER?"

"HE HAS A POINT," Infernal Bonnie admitted. "IF THE RUMORS ARE TRUE, LUCIFER SLICED OPEN WILLIAM AFTON FROM HIS CHIN TO HIS ASS, SPILLED OPEN HIS ENTRAILS, AND CRUCIFIED HIM AND HIS STILL HANGING ORGANS TO A FLAMING CROSS UPSIDE-DOWN. DEATH BY ANIMATRONIC, OR EVEN TORTURE BY OUR HAND, SEEMS RATHER UNIMPRESSIVE BY COMPARISON."

"AH, BUT THE PURPOSE OF THIS TORMENT ISN'T MERELY TO TORTURE WILLIAM AFTON…AT LEAST NOT PRIMARILY," Nightmare countered with a knowing look in his eye. "IF WE SIMPLY WANTED TO MAKE HIM SUFFER, THEN CARRYING ON AS WE HAVE DONE IN THE PAST WOULD BE A MORE EFFECTIVE OPTION. BUT THIS ISN'T ABOUT TORMENT…THIS IS ABOUT HUMILIATION. WILLIAM AFTON MAY HAVE DRENCHED HIMSELF IN THE BLOOD OF HIS VICTIMS, BUT IT IS ARROGANCE THAT TRULY DEFINES THE CORRUPTION OF HIS SOUL ALONGSIDE COWARDICE. THE MONGREL CARES ABOUT NO ONE'S INTERESTS APART FROM HIS OWN, NOT HESITATING FOR A MOMENT TO TOSS ASIDE OR TAINT HIS CHILDREN WITH HIS EVIL TO SATISFY HIS TWISTED DESIRES. WHAT BETTER WAY TO SHATTER HIS DELUSIONS OF GRANDEUR ONCE AND FOR ALL THAN BY MAKING HIM THE LAUGHINGSTOCK OF THE ENTIRETY OF HELL? WE WILL INVITE DEMONS FROM ALL CORNERS OF THE INFERNO TO WATCH HIS PATHETIC STRUGGLES, GATHER THEM TOGETHER TO LAUGH AT HIS MISERY. WILLIAM AFTON WILL LEARN THAT HE IS NOTHING MORE THAN AN INSECT, AN INSECT THAT WE CAN CRUSH UNDER OUR HEEL WHENEVER WE PLEASE!" Nightmare roared the last sentence, earning howls of approval and affirmation of his words.

The demon lord turned to look at his golden-colored counterpart directly. "AND AS FOR YOUR CONCERNS THAT THE RECREATIONS OF THE ANIMATRONICS WILL NOT BE SUFFICIENTLY VIOLENT ENOUGH…WE HAVE ALL SEEN MIKE SCHMIDT'S DARKEST ASPECT THOROUGHLY BREAK WILLIAM AFTON'S MIND AND SOUL, HAVE WE NOT? IF A MERE MORTAL COULD STRIKE SUCH PRIMAL DREAD INTO THE DAMNED WHILE WE CANNOT, THEN WE HAVE FUNDAMENTALLY FAILED IN OUR PURPOSE. AND I WILL NOT ACCEPT SUCH A FAILURE."

"IF THE OTHER DEMONS FOUND OUT ABOUT SUCH A FAILURE, WE WOULD LOSE ALL OF THE RESPECT WE HAVE GAINED FROM VUCARIK'S DEFEAT, AND THEN SOME," Nightmarionne drawled.

Sensing that the conference was about to reach its conclusion, the Nightmares except Nightmare himself stood up, the lesser Nightmares' thrones vanishing even as they rose. "WHAT WOULD YOU HAVE US DO, MY LORD?" Infernal Freddy presented the question for his siblings.

"WHEN YOU ARE NOT FULFILLING YOUR DUTIES AS TORTURERS, BEGIN CONDUCTING RESEARCH ON ANY PAST ANIMATRONICS TIED TO EITHER THE FREDDY FAZBEAR OR CIRCUS BABY FRANCHISE," Nightmare commanded, his voice resonating with authority both as a demon lord and as a patriarch. "IN THE MEANTIME, I WILL DESIGN A LAYOUT FOR THE OFFICE AND PIZZERIA THAT WILL SERVE AS WILLIAM AFTON'S DUNGEON, ONE FAR MORE…COMPLEX…THAN ANY FAZBEAR OFFICE OF THE PAST. ONCE I HAVE FINISHED THIS STAGE AND PRESENTED THESE PLANS TO YOU, YOU SHALL DESIGN MECHANICS AND PATTERNS BY WHICH EACH ANIMATRONIC WILL ATTACK."

"DO YOU WISH FOR THESE RECREATIONS TO ATTACK IN A MANNER SIMILAR TO THE BEHAVIORS OF THEIR ORIGINALS," Infernal Chica asked, "OR SHOULD THEY BE COMPLETELY DIFFERENT FOR THE SAKE OF UNPREDICTABILITY?"

"A GOOD QUESTION," Nightmare acknowledged. "WE SHALL USE A MIXTURE OF BOTH. IT WOULD NOT BE A TRUE RECREATION OF THE NIGHT GUARDS' FIGHT FOR SURVIVAL IF WE DID NOT RETAIN SOME ELEMENTS. BUT GIVING OTHERS COMPLETELY NEW BEHAVIORS WOULD UTTERLY CONFUSE AND DISORIENT WILLIAM AFTON, LEAVING HIM MORE VULNERABLE TO DEFEAT. NOT TO MENTION THE FACT THAT IT WOULD BE HIGHLY AMUSING," he added with a mocking smirk.

The Nightmares replicated the vicious expression on their own faces. "NORMALLY I WOULD SCOFF AT THE IDEA OF SUCH MENIAL LABOR," Infernal Foxy growled, though his tone was pensive rather than vitriolic, "BUT THIS IS SUCH A FASCINATING IDEA THAT I AM ACTUALLY INTRIGUED TO BE A PART OF IT."

"I HAVE TO IMPALE MY CLAWS INTO A DAMNED SOUL'S EYES," Infernal Chica commented. "BUT AS SOON AS I FINISH WITH SUCH BUSINESS I WILL BEGIN."

"I BELIEVE I WILL PRESENT THIS ASSIGNMENT TO OUR FLEDGLINGS IN TIME," Infernal Freddy decided. "THEY MAY POSSESS SOME INSIGHT THAT WE DO NOT, AND THEY WILL ALMOST CERTAINLY WANT REVENGE AGAINST WILLIAM AFTON FOR HIS COWARDLY AND DESPICABLE ATTACK."

"WILLIAM AFTON THINKS HE HAS SEEN THE WORST OF OUR CRUELTY," Infernal Bonnie boasted. "WE WILL SOON EDUCATE HIM ON THE FOLLY OF SUCH A NOTION!"

As the lesser Nightmares dispersed, Nightmarionne turned to face his brother. "YOU'VE PUT MORE THOUGHT INTO THIS THAN I HAD EXPECTED," he admitted. "WHAT INSPIRED THIS RATHER INNOVATIVE AND DETAILED PLAN OF YOURS?"

"THE WORDS OF A BEING FAR WISER AND MORE POWERFUL THAN MYSELF," was Nightmare's only reply, his tone making it clear that he would not elaborate any further on his answer. Sensing that their presence was no longer necessary, Nightmare Fredbear and Nightmarionne stood up from their thrones and departed from the throne room as well, leaving Nightmare alone in the throne room of his mighty fortress.

A cruel, twisted sneer stretched across the demon lord's face. "THERE ARE MANY WAYS TO BREAK A MAN, WILLIAM AFTON," he hissed. "MANY WAYS TO SHATTER THE SPIRIT. THE TORTURES WE HAVE HEAPED UPON YOUR WORTHLESS CARCASS ARE BUT ONE FACET OF HELL'S NEVERENDING CRUELTY."

Nightmare's grin widened, and his scarlet eyes glowed with malice and dark anticipation. "I THINK IT IS LONG PAST TIME FOR ME TO SHOW YOU ANOTHER. HEH HEH HEH HEH HEH HEH HEH HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!"

A/N: And there you have it, readers. Nightmare has officially brought Ultimate Custom Night into play. While the fundamental premise of UCN itself will essentially remain the same, its true nature has been adapted and changed to fit within the universe of Mike's New Ghostly Family. The Nightmares will force William Afton into a desperate struggle to survive against all the animatronics that he was directly or indirectly responsible for corrupting as all of Hell's demons watch and laugh, reducing his very existence to a laughingstock and a mere toy for the Nightmares to play around with and break…a most deserved insult to the man's very existence.

Before we move on, I specifically worded this chapter so that it does NOT necessarily happen after the Magic Kingdom chapter. If you, the readers, really and truly wish for another chapter with the Schmidts and the Marshalls at an amusement park (whether it be Disneyworld's Hollywood Studios, Universal Studios, etc.), I can have the next chapter be at an amusement park again while delaying the first Ultimate Custom Night chapter just a little while longer. It is up to you, but if there is not a lot of interest in another amusement park chapter I will move on to UCN.

Oh, and about UCN…this fic's version of UCN will be MUCH harder than the actual UCN. There will be more animatronics that were not included in the actual game, and some existing animatronics will have their mechanics either buffed or reworked to make them harder. This isn't some vengeful kid's UCN, this is the Nightmares' UCN…and you can bet that they won't be nearly as merciful.

That's all for now, everyone. Hope you guys enjoyed!
