Grand Pulse, Nightview Mountain

Afton Facility 1F – Lobby

Time Remaining Island Self-Destruction 18:35'11

Time Remaining Until Missile Impact 10:22'55

Gregory felt a jolt of power wake him up. His heart rate skyrocketed to 110 bpm for a moment.

Heart rate stabilizing….

Minor injury detected to right lower rib bone…

Auto-activating Haste….

Battery at 25% percent…..

Activating secret glamrock weapon…..ACTIVATED.

Gregory woke up looking at Cassidy in the eyes.

"Your…your alive!" Cassidy said with relief. She tightly embraced him.

"I had to come back. I can't leave you, Vanessa, Freddy, Roxanne or any of the others behind. I saw my parents….my biological ones, along with Dawkin…They told it wasn't my time, they were right. As much as I miss my parents, it doesn't beat living here and in the now with everyone else." Gregory said.

"There is so much I want to say….but….we need to finally get rid of HIM!" Cassidy shouted at Afton.

"Gregory my systems have managed to revive you, but my power remaining is only at 25 percent. I had to use some of my battery to revive you. You may need to carry out this fight on your own soon. As part of my failsafe protocol, I have activated a secret weapon with in your glamrock wristbands. You can use these to stop Afton, once and for all. Good luck. I will assist you the best that I can with my remaining power…." The FazArmor said to Gregory with it's Roxanne voice.

Gregory got back up, and held Foxy's high-frequency blade in his hand.

"Ohhh so the boy survived. It's a miracle!" William mocked.

Meanwhile….

"He's alive! He's alive!" Freddy shouted with a grin on his face.

The other glamrocks brought their links with Gregory's suit back online, to see from his point of view that he was standing again and facing off with Afton. They could see his heart rate from his HUD, he was alive.

"Vanessa, he's back! Our boy, he's alive!" Freddy said to her. She frantically grabbed her iPhone and remotely accessed Gregory's suit.

"Gregory…My son, he's alive again." Vanessa said with tears of happiness.

Meanwhile…..

Eclipse was in his submarine navigating the cold waters of the pacific. He was in all the camera systems of the facility. He watched the Afton fight. And he also saw the missile launch.

"So…he actually did it…..And the military is on the way as predicted. Well. No need to activate the self-destruct since there is a pending airstrike anyway." Eclipse said as he de-activated the self-destruct.

Time Remaining Island Self-Destruction CANCELED

Time Remaining Until Missile Impact 8:50'55

"Self-Destruct, has been deactivated." A computerized female voice said from the facility's PA system.

"….Hmm….so someone as changed their mind after all." William said to himself.

"Doesn't change the fact the military is going to blow this place to hell once they see what you've done. Ether way, your going to lose Afton." Gregory said.

"The both of you as well. You think you can kill me and escape before this place is reduced to rubble? Ha, that is indeed hilarious. I never thought I'd find a child actually funny. You should be honored, you're the first." William said.

"You know maybe you and the original Afton have more in common than I thought. You both like to gloat." Gregory said staring down William.

"My missile is still on it's way to Hurricane. I have no where I need to be when I already know I'm going to win regardless of the outcome." William said getting into a combat position. He raised his high-frequency blade and put his visor up on his rabbit head shaped combat helmet.

Time Remaining Until Missile Impact 7:44'55

"Gregory, let's end him." Cassidy said getting into a combat position.

"Oh. I intend to. For all of us." Gregory said.

"I was just playing with you the first time. This time, I'm going to enjoy slicing you into pieces." William said as he charged at them.

Gregory was ready and had his guard up with his high frequency blade, the metal of his blade clashed with Willaim's. Sparks were flying.

"I'm going to crush you…." William said.

"Not this time." Gregory said smirking. Cassidy leg swept William, taking him off balance. As William fell to the floor dropping his sword, Gregory went to go strike William's head, but William blocked it with his arm, with William's FazArmor 3 taking the damage. Gregory's blade was not able to cut through because of William's suit but he did leave a bruise due to the blunt force. The damage messed up William's left arm on the suit, making the suit malfunction to provide him with weightlessness on that arm, requiring William to use more of his own strength to swing with that arm. He jumped back holding his arm.

"Son of a….." William almost finished.

"As I said, not this time." Gregory said.

William noticed Cassidy with his high frequency blade, and based on her stance, he knew, she knew how to weld it.

"Heh, so Cassidy is now a master swordswoman. I have seen everything now." William said.

"And the animatronic you hated the most was the one that trained me. Foxy The Pirate. Enjoy that thought for a bit." Cassidy said.

"I will when I tear your endo apart with my bare hands Cassidy. I don't need my sword when I have this." William said activating an injector system in the suit to inject agony into his system. His eyes glowed purple as the agony was infused into his bloodstream. He felt stronger than ever before, more powerful than he could have possibly imagined.

"What the hell…." Cassidy said.

"Now…this….is power!" William shouted.

"Power from people you tortured and killed….." Cassidy said raising her blade.

"Ha, sometimes people have to die in the name of science. Just like you will!" William said charging at her at incredible speed. He was attempting to punch her. In the chest.

Cassidy dodged him and went to swing the blade at William who grabbed it surprising her. Gregory went to swing at William from behind forcing him to release the end of Cassidy's blade and dodge Gregory's swing. William was dodging so fast he was leaving an afterimage to the naked eye.

"Damn it…" Gregory said.

"I did say I was going to crush you." William said before slamming his elbow into Gregory's face knocking him back to the ground.

Gregory's lip was slightly bloody. He wiped it from his mouth.

"I'll give you a chance. Hell. I will wait. Now c'mon get up, you can do it." William mocked.

"Screw you!" Gregory jumped back up slamming his fist into William's chest knocking him back.

William was grabbing his chest for a moment, then grinned.

"Wow! That one hurt!" William said. He welcomed this fight, it was a great way to test the suit at it's maximum power.

"And it's going to hurt a hell of a lot more. I won't stop until your gone. I can't let you win." Gregory said.

Cassidy looked around to see if there was anything else she could use aside from William's own sword. She spotted the ARP-7 mobile laser cannon mount in the corner of the room.

"You must understand child, that is an outcome that will never happen." William said charging at him with his fist, Gregory charged at him as well, Gregory wound his fist back with his remaining battery life in the suit. William did the same, they clashed, their fists moving so fast, igniting the hydrogen in the air. The fists made contact, causing an explosion of force creating a crater underneath them, their opposing forces sending them flying back to opposite sides of the room.

Gregory was on the ground, he could hear someone talking in his radio.

"Gregory, the missile was stopped hurricane is saved, but the military is planning on bombing Starlight Island and sterilize it after William's attack, 15 minutes now. Fiona tried to get them to hold off, they don't want to wait anymore. We're coming back down from the air to get you and Cassidy out of there. Forget my grandfather's clone, let him die by the missiles." Vanessa said.

Time Remaining until airstrike 14:58'44

She looked at the fight from the lobby camera's Moon and Cove from OAOS helped them tap into.

"Vanessa…you know we can't do that. If we leave, even one shred of him alive, he will find a way to come back. We have to make sure he's gone, for good." Gregory said getting up.

"Superstar, I understand. But the missiles will take care of him, he has no other escape routes now. You and Cassidy need to get out of there. Now."

"But….we found a way to stop him….The OAOS left their cannon here, but it has no battery in it. We just need to power it and…." Cassidy said on the radio.

"Getting you both out safely is the priority. I won't risk losing you both." Freddy said with authority.

William was on his back.

"Hehe….I'm impressed a child almost beat me….almost." William takes a needle out of his pocket labeled "EC-2021 Mercury Strain" and sticks it into his skin through the fabric on this shoulder.

The crater causes instability of the room's integrity and opens into a sink hole collapsing into the basement areas of the facility.

"What the!" Gregory says as he loses his footing. Cassidy see's the area collapsing into itself. She runs for Gregory.

William slides towards the hole as things collapse and falls in. The ARP-7 canon falls into the hole along with Cassidy and Gregory.

"Gregory! Come in!" Vanessa cried out.

"Gregory! Gregory!" She continued.
