Chapter 4: Monty's Gator Golf And Cupcake Land
Chica, Freddy, Michael/GlamRock Golden Freddy, Moon, and Roxanne are vigilantly waiting on the 1st Floor of Monty's Gator Golf between the Elevator, and the Gift Shop, for Lucian, and Yr1 Chica, to turn up, and have been on guard for five minutes since Lucian's last communication concerning Vanny, and an intruding AI. All of them dirty and injured thanks to running around the Pizzaplex trying to reach Lucian, opening the Dufflebags and learning more about the Pizzaplex's history, and fighting Vanny's Army, for over an hour after Lucian was sent into Basement 3. Their emotional states are frazzled too, they believed Lucian died after being squashed by the Trash Compactor and dropped into Trash-Land, even though Lolbit, and Tangle, said otherwise. But also everything the GlamRocks, and Michael, learned about the killings, the problems plaguing the Pizzaplex, and them being corrupted and controlled by Mimic, and William, didn't/doesn't help. So hearing Lucian again mentally saved the Animatronics, and Possessed Bot, and boosted their morale. They thankfully didn't encounter Vanny. Roxy, and Chica, was able to refresh themselves by finding clothes for Lucian. But what surprised the Machines, and Michael, was that Yr1 Chica was active, and alone, for so long until Lucian found her; and now the Robot Chicken's returning, even though Chica's somewhat dreading the experience and the fallout of it. The others noticed, and tried speaking to the Android Chicken, but she kept silent; putting Roxy to shame with her stubbornness. Roxanne was also distraught over the thought of losing Lucian, and was the most proactive in trying to locate him; Freddy did his best to help her. Michael discovered numerous Fredbear's Family Diner posters, and one and Fredbear's Singin' Show print, and guessed they were pulled from Freddy Fazbear's Pizza Place underground as that was Fredbear's Family Diner before it was refurbished by Henry, and Michael. The group can hear fighting going on in Monty's Gator Golf, along with the many other sounds native to the attraction. Roxanne has the strange mask resting on her hip/butt, while she, and Chica, hold clothing they got for Lucian.
As the group wait for Lucian to appear, expecting him to drop in via the Elevator, or from the Monty Golf Security Office, Roxanne's eyes catch an AR Portal opening on the nearby wall in the Digital World, causing her to brace herself and get into an aggressive defensive position, much to everyone's concern. "Someone's coming through the AR World." Roxy informs the others heatedly as she throws the clothes to Chica so she can throw down with whoever comes through the AR Portal, before she stands in front of her friends. I'm the best! She thinks to herself as she growls menacingly, but her expression turns to one of confusion and then shock when a person made of static wearing a strange Tiger Mask, and Yr1 Chica, steps through the blinding white doorway; with the former having two cartoony Fox heads over the left wrist/arm. The Robot Wolf instantly knows who the Mask wearing person is thanks to his distorted image, the presence of Yr1 Chica, and the two floating AI Fox heads. She runs over to him then tightly hugs him as the AR Portal closes, before pulling back after recalling how he fell into the Trash Compactor, and then Trash-Land. She holds his right hand as the AR Portal closes. "Lucian, are you alright?! Surprised you're not wearing a Roxy Mask, or one based on the others." Roxanne questions her Creator, and Crush, emotionally as her eyes show how relieved she is. She then focuses on the broken but happy Yr1 Chica and embraces her briefly. "It's good to see you again, Cheeks! We all missed you. The bastard Pizzaplex STAFF were scum to have abandoned you, but luckily my badass Creator found and saved you." The Animatronic proclaims to her old friend who vanished months ago and was left to rot underground by the Pizzaplex STAFF, before snarling at what happened to Yr1 Chica, before praising Lucian.
Yr1 Chica gives Roxanne a happy eye smile as she nods to her, before giving Lucian a warm and grateful glare as she squeezes his hand. Her silence does puzzle the Automaton Wolf, but soon Roxy discovers why after a quick Scan with her eyes, which upsets her; so Roxanne tries reaching out through the New Animatronic Network, and connecting Yr1 Chica to it.
Monty's Gator Golf is a large two story Attraction that has an overall jungle and swamp-like aesthetic to it that's roughly octagon in shape. The majority of the walls start with a blue base with dark green or black trees and soil that makes most of the walls dark green that has some glowing Neon lightning strikes on them, with some being stone, purple for the corridor leading to the Toilets, screens that should mimic being under dark blue water but show Glitchtrap and Vanny, some being pink and red mimicking the innards of an Alligator, green leaves over an orange backdrop for the Stage and Gift Shop, and Hooker's green for the wall surrounding the Elevator. Some wall corners have Neon Lights on them that start at the bottom and reach the room's top. The ceiling's many overlapping metal beams. Most of the floors are dark blue carpet with blue, green, and pink confetti, with a winding Viridian green trail with dark blue spots that leads people to the various Mini Golf Courses across both floors and Monty's Gator Grub, while the Gift Shop has green carpet with lighter shades of Green to show Monty's face, stars, and triangles with some pink and orange in there. The Ground Floor also has a lake, and two rivers that can be crossed by wooden bridges, with all having barrels in them, Alligators popping out of the water, a Buoy, and a boat. A massive grey pipe is providing the water, while there's a smaller grey pipe that does nothing. There's also patches of fake Jungle scattered about the place protected by yellow handrails, with plenty of trees of various shapes and heights, with many trees having vines that nearly touch ground, fake grass, along with cutouts of bushes. There's an island with a Cabin on it surrounded by a Ball-Pit on the Ground Floor that can be slid into by a slide from the 1st Floor. One wall has a giant head of Monty with an open mouth that people can walk in. The 1st Floor wraps halfway around the room and has a banister over Neon Lights, two stairs highlighted by Neon Lights, and two Escalators connecting it to the Ground Floor, has two large crumbling shacks on it, and is the location of the Elevator, and Gift Shop that's a Hut indented in the wall. There's a crazy variety of Mini Golf Courses with glowing Neon outlines around the location, and small glowing orbs representing Fireflies; some hanging from the ceilings, and others flying. There's various wooden Huts, and Boats, dotted about, along with a Caravan Trailer with a used Clothesline. There's a giant elevated smoky Stage with a wooden floor that's orbited by Speakers, and Neon Lights, with a 'Monty's Gator Golf' Sign hanging over it. Next to the Stage, and the Caravan, and under the pipes, is Monty's Gator Grub, a Snack Bar made into a Hut that has two doors besides it leading inside with a Fizzy Drink Vending Machine. Near the lake are two entrances to the Security Office, which have footprints connecting them. There's some obvious fake vines hanging. There's also an Arcade Machine and other amusements, bins, wooden benches, a mixture of wooden and metal Radioactive barrels, barbed wire fences, a Ticket/Save/Check Station, Photo Booths, a Charging Station in the small corridor under the Entrance between the two Toilets, strollers, potted plants, First Aid Stations, stalls/snack kiosks, wooden Golf Course Stands, and some Dining chairs with tables. There's also remains of various different STAFF Bot Types scattered about. Monty's Swamp Theme, and sounds one typically hears in a Jungle, are playing. Above Monty's Gator Golf, and close to the ceiling, are a series of Catwalks adorned with creeping plants, and Monty themed Turrets. A Vent, protected by barriers, leads out. Monty themed Gondolas, that're part of the Monty Gondola Ride, pass over the entire area with two openings nearly touching the ceiling next to the grey pipes, with a hidden third opening far above the Elevator, and Gift Shop, leading into Gondola Workshop. There's also a "Hurricane-Hole-In-One" Bucket over the Stage.
Lucian takes the Tiger Rock Mask off, with him and Yr1 Chica suddenly appearing in the Real World before Chica, Freddy, Michael/GlamRock Golden Freddy, Moon, and Roxanne. It's then the others spot the new wound on the Cambion's stomach, and the older Hook injury on his right arm, which makes them get closer to him to Scan him; with Freddy ready to get Antiseptic Spray, and Wipes, and bandages from his Stomach Hatch. "Trust me, I'd rather have a Mask based on one of you than one themed on an extension of Mimic. Despite how badass it looks. I got it in the Ruin Timeline, while ATF Cassie got the Vanni Mask, and ATF Amelia the Glitchtrap Mask. ATF Mimic tried turning us into his slaves using them whilst luring us underground to free him when he pretended to be ATF Gregory; thanks to an Occipital Transponder Implant the Masks activated. But Mimic, and William, can't influence ATF Cassie, and I, thanks to the Ultimate Evolving AntiVirus I installed." The Chairman declares coldly with a wry expression as he regards the Security Mask before showing it to the others with a confident smile. The Androids, and Michael, glare at it with resentment and concern, with Roxanne wanting to rip it apart for trying to brainwash ATF Cassie, and Lucian, but his closing words do calm them, and makes them wonder what happened to their ATF Counterparts. "I'm fine, a bit hurt though from the whole Trash Compactor ordeal; got stabbed by some glass when I landed in Basement 3. But I'm more concerned about Yr1 Chica here, and you guys of course given the situation. Go greet your old friend, I need to discuss something with Chica here. Then you can patch me up, and we can plan our next move." The Cambion says calmly concerning his recent painful experience, rather indifferent about it, as he's more concerned about the Machines, before he carefully moves Yr1 Chica to the others so they can reunite. He strolls over to the distressed Chica, whose conflicted eyes haven't left her ruined yellow counterpart.
Freddy, Moon, and Roxanne emotionally greet Yr1 Chica and begin talking to her, and embracing her. They investigate the ruined Robot's mental, emotional and physical states, and wonder how she survived in Trash-Land for so long, after which they tell her everything that's happened over the years without them knowing, what's been going on tonight so far, and what they know about Lucian after Yr1 Chica asks them about him. Yr1 Chica speaks to them through the NAN due to her broken Voice Box. Freddy will remember to use the Medical Equipment later when they have some free time.
Lucian steps in front of Chica, blocking her view of the other Pizzaplex Bots behind him, with Michael joining him. "I know something's wrong, Chica. I can see it in your eyes, and on your face. What's the matter? You know you can tell me anything." The Cambion questions the Automaton Chicken compassionately as he rubs her shoulder, his welcoming and supportive eyes staring into her own. His words being heard by Roxy, who glances over and listens in on the coming conversation, and fails to hide her jealousy.
Chica delicately grabs Lucian's arm and gazes into his eyes, her expression showing confusion and fear. She doesn't answer for a few minutes as she moves his hand and then holds it, but eventually she swallows her anxiety. She desperately and tightly hugs Lucian, with the Cambion tenderly returning it. "I just don't want to be forgotten and abandoned by my friends, or replaced by this other Chica. This whole situation's difficult! GlamRock Ballora, Black Moon, Blood Moon, GlamRock Bonnie, myself, GlamRock Cupcake, DJMM, GlamRock El Chip, GlamRock Freddy, GlamRock Foxy, Happs, GlamRock Helpy, Lally, Lunar, GlamRock Mangle, Monty, Moon, Nexie, GlamRock Puppet, Roxanne, GlamRock Shadow Bonnie, and Sun spent much time together in the Digital World when you made us, and was close. But then we came to the Pizzaplex and I was awake for barely a month before being shelved and replaced by Yr1 Chica, only to be used again when she vanished. And most of our friends, your Creations, have died, are locked away, or are missing; with their Memories, and Souls, possibly gone forever. The others spent years with Yr1 Chica, even though we were all screwed over by Mimic, and William. I don't want to get in the way, but I don't want to be alone, yet I fear I will." The Animatronic Chicken explicates with obvious heartbreak and distress as she buries her face in Lucian's neck, releasing some sobs here and there as she pours her heart out to her Creator, who soothingly rubs her back and head. Her words being heard by the other Machines, who stop talking and focus on the troubled Chica cuddling Lucian.
Lucian sighs as he mulls over Chica's words, and figures out a response; it doesn't take him long as he hears the other Androids slowly move over. "Don't say such things, Chica. You're not going to be replaced, nor will you be forgotten and abandoned. You have deep bonds with the GlamRocks, and none of them will throw their friendships with you away. I also won't leave you; ever. None of us had control over things here, but you shouldn't be afraid of Yr1 Chica; I don't believe she intends on replacing you, but instead wants to coexist with you, and become friends with you. Maybe even want you as her Sister. You should get to know her, and befriend her. We've all lost friends to this Pizzaplex's shitty Management, Mimic, and William, yet most are still alive but sleeping in the Safe Room, while Bonnie, and Foxy, can be saved thanks to me knowing where their AI Chips, and Memory Chips, are. Plus, the Memory Transfer Systems you have kicked in and sent their memories to their MK2 Bodies, or my Computer at my Lab; and since they didn't go to my Computer, they went to their MK2 Bodies." The Cambion asserts sternly but kindly as he strokes Chica's back, and head, as he tries to ease her concerns. He understands why she feels insecure, but there's nothing for Chica to worry about in his mind as the other Machines won't leave Chica for Yr1 Chica. There's also no way in Hell he'd forsake the GlamRock Chicken. His words do fill Chica, Michael, and the listening Robots, with relief that their friends are still alive, and have all of their memories, thanks to various Backups, and the Memory Transfer System. Chica sees the others nod at her in agreement to Lucian's words, with Yr1 Chica regarding her curiously with concern.
"Luci's right, Cheeky, and I thought I was the insecure one out of all of us. You remember how we reacted when we saw you again after Yr1 Chica vanished; we all missed you, hugged you, and chatted until we all powered down, only to continue talking again after we were Charged. We love you, Chica, nobody can replace you." Roxanne Wolf, nicknamed Lightning Speed by some, quips as she hugs both Chica, and Lucian, accidentally disclosing her hidden low self-esteem that's pretty much an open secret at this point as the others already knew about her confidence problems and Impostor Syndrome; she hides it well due to her pride, but they've all heard, and seen, her. And they know GlamRock Freddy does his best to help her. The Wolf Robot pulls back and guides Chica to Yr1 Chica, whilst taking the clothes she, and Chica, got for Lucian. "Go talk it out." She commands, with Freddy, and Moon, also getting involved as they support both Chickens, and remind them both of their uniqueness, and how much they both mean to them. Michael also introduces himself to Yr1 Chica. Roxy smiles at the group, before focusing on Lucian with what she hopes is a confident and flirty expression, but comes across as awkward and shy. "Here, Luci, we got some new clothes for you. I'll show you the Mask I found afterwards. It's a shame you've got to dump those badass clothes though." The Animatronic says as she holds the attire out between the two, with her Creator curiously regarding the garments with a raised brow, before he smiles at her and takes the clothes.
"Thank you, Roxy, and Chica. I also appreciate that you tried looking for me, I'm proud of you for doing so." Lucian states gratefully, and then commends; he's being genuine too. His words elating the two Robots. He's sure they would've found him if Vanny, and Glitchtrap, weren't fucking around. The Cambion places the clothes on the nearby Cotton Candy Stall, pulls his Phone from his pants and places it next to his new apparel, takes the pins off his shirt and puts them next to his Phone, and then starts undressing; the eyes of Roxanne, Chica, and Yr1 Chica greedily exploring him, although the latter's more curious as she wonders why the former two like him. But given how he went out of his way to save her, Yr1 Chica can see why Chica, and Roxy, like the Chairman. The Males just look between each other, and at the girls, with amusement. That changes when Chica gasps, because there's numerous scars on Lucian's body, with the obvious ones being the five claw marks along his back, the talon scratches on his right arm and shoulder that look like someone tried pulling it off multiple times, and the large circular ones on his left shoulder, and right thigh, that look like something went through them. But Lucian doesn't care as he gets butt naked, throws his old clothes away, then puts on the clean clothing Chica, and Roxy, got him. The females making sure to memorise his nude form as they mentally share what they see, as their bodies heat up, and Roxanne's tail wags enthusiastically; with the two Chicas behind and to the right side of Lucian, while Roxy's on the opposite side and thus seeing the Cambion's front.
"Brother, how did you get those scars? You shouldn't even get such blemishes thanks to your Augmented Healing, Nanotechnology, and Cybernetics. What went through your leg, and shoulder, like that?" A horrified Michael exclaims as he paces over to his near naked Brother, just aghast at the amount of scars decorating Lucian's body; his thoughts shared by the GlamRocks. It looks like he's been slashed, shot, and impaled; like he's been through Hell and back.
"Hell doesn't give you much rest. I was always fighting; be it to survive, for fun, Missions, to keep ruling the City I was Overlord of, to get Money, or killing the invading Exorcist Angels during their annual purges. Most of my scars came from tossers using Angelic Weapons; but the claw marks on my right arm, neck, and back, are from ATF Mimic when we fought and it tried tearing me apart. The circular scars on my right thigh and left shoulder are from my first fight against Totality which put me on Death's Door; with the second bout with that creature being the cause of my current weakened state. She was even able to beat my Nightmare Form, while I was at Full Power, and in my Overclocked State." Lucian indifferently and pensively as he slips on the rest of his new gear then stretches. He's not bothered by his scars, the first ones hurt like fuck when he got them, but the others he didn't even flinch at; although being impaled by Totality sucked and nearly killed him, even though he was badly beaten prior to that. He checks himself over as he ignores the horrified expressions of the Pizzaplex Robots, and Michael. Michael being the most shocked as he knows how powerful Lucian was at Full Power without his Inhibitor Rings, roughly how strong his Overclocked State was, and how insane his Nightmare Form was; for Totality to outmatch his Brother while using all three of those forms tells him just how powerful Totality was. "Impressive clothing. Thank you so much Chica, and Roxy. Although I can't help but wonder if you're trying to tell me something." The Cambion compliments the Chicken, and Wolf, Machines with grateful a smile, before teasing the two; with the two in question squirming and looking like Deer in headlights. He winks at the pair of them, causing them to heat up more. He then puts his Phone away.
Lucian now sports a formfitting light pink sleeveless top/leotard. Green fingerless gloves, and Lavender violet arm warmers with black Tiger stripes, while the left has a Gauntlet with a high-tech built-in computer. He wears sparkling red baggy pants with black flames or stars with a black belt with that has a green buckle in the shape of a Cupcake. He also garbs pink Sneakers/Trainers. It's all Chica, and Roxanne, themed. He also has his pins on his left chest.
"Well at least you're not in Hell anymore, Superstar. You won't have to fight again." GlamRock Freddy comments tenderly with a sorrowful tone as he can't even imagine what his Creator had to endure in Hell to survive. He wonders what Totality is though, as do the others. He gets an uncertain and uneasy chuckle from Lucian, which makes him, and the others, worry.
It's then the blushing Roxanne, who keeps replaying Lucian's naked body in her mind from what she, and the two Chicas, saw, remembers the Mask on her hip/butt. She shakes her head, walks over to her Creator, then presents the Mask, getting a 'thank you' from Lucian in response. "This is what I found, Luci. It reminds me of Vanny's Mask, just more flamboyant and technical. But you should hear what else we discovered thanks to the Notes, or Digital Messages, from the Dufflebags we found, along with 16 Retro CDs featuring Therapy Sessions featuring Vanessa, and a Patient 46." The Android Wolf announces as she looks between the Mask, Lucian, and her friends with some concern as she, and the others, wonder just how many people like Vanny are running around. She, the Caution Bots, Chica, DJMM, Dread Unit, Freddy, Little Music Men, Lolbit, Michael, Moon, STAFF Bots, Sun, and Tangle all heard the CDs when Michael and Freddy played them through the New Animatronic Network, and all gathered that Vanny/Vanessa, before and after she joined the Pizzaplex, had a young yet unheard accomplice who killed the Therapists, and hacked the Pizzaplex and the inhabiting Robots.
The Dr Rabbit Security Mask, a Virtual Augmented Neural Network Integration unit, is a Rabbit themed face with metallic yet soft silver, Mas Blue, and raw umber brown fur. The face's a federal blue LED screen mask capable of various cyan coloured expressions that currently has large eyes with square pupils, sharp eyebrows, a wide nose, and a large creepy grin with buckteeth. The ears can bend, and have cyan screens with 'GGY' floating through them. It also has long distorted whiskers. The interior's black and comfortable, which has many different wires around the mouth and nose, and pieces of technology and small glowing points inside it around the rim; while the majority of it is a large federal blue screen.
Lucian gives the Dr Rabbit Security Mask such a dark glare that it makes the Animatronics, and Michael, flinch and look at him with alarm as none of them have seen this side of him before, and they wonder what that specific Mask means to him. He notices the looks as he installs the Ultimate Evolving AntiVirus into the Mask. "This belonged to Patient 46, one of Glitchtrap's youngest victims, and slaves; until I freed him in this Timeline prior to coming here. It's Dr Rabbit, but you know him as GGY, and/or Gregory. It's identical to the one ATF Gregory made when he was controlled by Mimic; who freed himself via playing the Balloon Boy World Arcade Machine." The Cambion enlightens as he frees the Mask from the clutches of William/Glitchtrap, and Mimic/Mimic1, with a wave of shock rushing through the Pizzaplex Automatons as things start clicking for them. With Freddy, and Roxanne, being horrified as they know Gregory through being his favourite Animatronic and being around him plenty, and because he's close to Cassie, respectively. They all feel anger towards Gregory for messing with their Code and making them more eerie and murderous, and for everything he did as Patient 46, but they can't help but feel sorry for him as he was controlled by Glitchtrap/William like Vanessa currently is.
"For Juni's sake. William, that fucking bastard! I thought you was a monster before, but you've reached a new low in my eyes!" Michael, GlamRock Golden Freddy, utters in horror before snarling viciously at the actions of his Father's Digital Reincarnation. Just unable to fathom how someone can be so evil, and ATF Mimic in the Ruin Timeline, Alternate Timeline Future, was just as bad. His sentiment being shared by the others, although they do give him questioning looks about Juni and that whole incident in May, 2013, at Lake Juniper, with Lucian giving him a knowing smirk that tells Michael that his Brother was somehow there. He'll ask Lucian later.
"Is Superstar alright? You said you freed him from Glitchtrap." GlamRock Freddy asks Lucian with a frosty tone that promises pain, but not directed towards his Creator, or friends. With the others taken aback by the Robot Bear's demeanour. He gets a nod from Lucian, making him sigh in relief.
"He's going to be in Counselling for a while, but he was reunited with his surviving Family, and Cassie. They know Gregory was Brainwashed, but by a Criminal who was recently killed that liked Hypnotising people, and not by William's Digital Soul. His memory's a bit foggy though, although that's possibly for the best given what he unwillingly did over the years as William's slave. I compensated them too." Lucian tells them with a sad shrug as he puts the Dr Rabbit Mask behind him and sends it to Hammerspace, with the Robots, and Michael, happy that Gregory's getting his life back, but most are unsure if they want to see him again for a while; with Roxy getting protective over Cassie. They do want to see Gregory later in life though. He won't tell them that he used his Psychic Manipulation to alter Gregory's memories by getting rid of any mention of William/Glitchtrap, and replaced them with the now dead Criminal he put the blame on. The Fazbear Entertainment Chairman shakes his head and looks around. "Okay, now let's go save Monty. We just need to locate him." He states as he looks at his Gauntlet Computer and prepares to find Monty via his Locator Chip.
"He might be on the Catwalks above. In the Monty Mischief Message Chica found, Monty frequents the Catwalks, even if he gets knocked off the Catwalks by the Hurricane Bucket and nearly broken." Moon explains to Lucian, recalling one of the many things the group found when exploring the Pizzaplex while their Creator was trapped down below.
Lucian glances over to Moon and thankfully nods to him before suddenly gawking up to the Catwalks. "He's up there alright. Now just to get there." He declares before looking around, his eyes sharpening in the process as the Nanotechnology pulsates across his body, Roxanne also gazes upwards and spots Monty, but she also perceives other items on the Catwalks that raise alarm bells in her head. "Multiple ways to get there. Ladder by the Stage, vent from Mazercise, jumping off the Monty Gondola Ride, or going through the Cupcake Shop to get to the Gondola Workshop." The Cambion lists off as he looks in the directions of the various ways to get to the Catwalks, before regarding his Brother as another thought comes to mind. He then hears a STAFF Bot coming towards him, but there's no corresponding STAFF Bot on his Gauntlet's Radar, or in the STAFF Bot Network. The others also perceive it and gaze towards the closest Hut on the balcony they're on, the one that acts as the First Golf Course, with the eyes of Lucian, and Roxy, widening as they're the only ones who can see it. "You've got to be kidding me." Lucian remarks in disbelief, yet somewhat impressed with what he's seeing, his comment bothering the others barring Roxanne.
The STAFF Vann Bot's white on most of its right side and its hands, with the rest being grey like its forearms and leg segment, with 'stitching' connecting the two colours on its face and torso. It has large glowing red eyes with eyelashes. It has bending Rabbit ears on its head that have pink interiors, while having pink paw pads on its clawed hands. The left forearm guard has red cross stitching all over it, and it has a large blue bowtie. It also has knifes on its waist.
"That's insane, there's no way Vanessa built STAFF Bots based on Vanny! That means only Luci, and I, will be able to battle these Vann Bots." Roxanne exclaims heatedly as she prepares to fight this new foe as she tries to mask her concern, with the other Robots, normal and Possessed, getting worried as they move into defensive postures and use their ears. "This'll be a breeze. I'm the best!" The Animatronic Wolf states confidently as she moves to protect her friends and intercept the STAFF Vann Bot, with STAFF Nightmarionne Bots rolling behind the former Machine, which makes the other GlamRocks react and move to fight the Androids they can see. With Moon using his flexibility and smaller frame to dance around the attacking STAFF Bots then using his strong grip to throw them about, Freddy his larger size and strength to break the enemy Machines even if he's reluctant, Chica her agility and Gymnastic skills to land swift blows, and Roxy being swift and aggressive as she primarily uses her claws and legs.
"Protect Yr1 Chica!" Lucian exclaims to the Robots as he kicks a STAFF Nightmarionne Bot away, before dodging a swinging knife from the STAFF Vann Bot, as she's easily the most fragile given her state. He then notices his Brother punching a STAFF Nightmarionne Bot's head off. "Michael, I want you to launch me up to the Catwalks! Get on your knee, I'll jump on your hand, and you fling me upwards! And don't question it!" Lucian exclaims urgently as rips apart a STAFF Nightmarionne Bot alongside Roxanne, with the Wolf soon jumping and kicking a STAFF Nightmarionne Bot to the ground before she deals with the STAFF Vann Bot.
Michael doesn't like this new plan, but looks up to the Catwalks as he calculates how much force he needs to put into his throw thanks to his own smarts, and the Android's insanely advanced Brain. He gets the answer in less than a second as he aims to get Lucian to the Catwalk just above the Elevator Doorway. After chucking a STAFF Nightmarionne Bot at the wall with such force that it cracks the wall, and smashes the enemy Machine, GlamRock Golden Freddy moves away, gets on his knee and readies his hand, and calls for his Brother, who quickly reacts. He braces himself as Lucian runs towards him, but can't help but mentally ask. "You still can't use your many Powers to fly up there? I've seen you fly before; you even dragged me with you once." The Possessed Automaton thinks through the NAN, and Wireless Synaptic Neural Link, as he tries his best to ignore the purple, steel pink magenta, and French violet lights, along with the demented cackles coming from the speakers and Voice Intercom. He shudders as he remembers flying with Lucian, it was an experience, and he was shaking for ages from how cold it was, how fast he was moving, and because he's scared of heights. Michael's words about Lucian being able to fly, and having Powers, intrigues the Robots, but they can't question them because of Vanny's Army.
Lucian laughs through the New Animatronic Network as he rushes towards Michael. "That was incredible, you should've seen your face; I do love flying. You also can't be scared of heights given you stood on top of Juni and watched Otto kill it before it could leave Earth. But yes, my Powers are unstable at the minute due to my weakened state. Even using the Fredbear Trigger earlier was tough." He explains gleefully at first, before becoming serious with a pointed tone, then ending with a dejected frown at the fact he can't even use his abilities. With his final words shocking Michael as he knows how easy it is for the Cambion to use the Triggers, and he hasn't seen him use his Psychic Powers, thus telling him how bad Lucian's health and control are. Lucian's foot lands on Michael's hand, with GlamRock Golden Freddy launching himself up and throwing his hands upwards at the same time, thundering the Cambion into the air. He cheers excitedly as he flies upwards, soon spinning around during his flight and pulling off stunts as he laughs, much to the amusement of Michael, and the awe of everyone there, and those watching from beyond. He then grabs the rail to swing himself onto the Catwalks. "I won't take long. Good luck down there, and watch each other's backs. Oh yeah, Michael, you would've believe what I found in Basement 3 as I was trying to throw off Vanny through the AR Portals; I ended up in the STAFF Bot Silo, which was full of sticky notes, and a rendition of the Afton Family. There was even a Fredbear's Family Diner Poster there. It was strange, the notes seemed like someone was coming into consciousness and gaining memories from the past, or a Robot being programmed with memories from someone from the past." Lucian asserts calmly through the NAN as he looks over the banister to the fighting Androids, with Michael jumping into the fray to save Yr1 Chica. Concern filling his words, and being, which's noticed by the others. He begins pacing the Catwalks towards where Monty is as the Monty Gondola Ride starts. His words confusing and disturbing Michael, but he'll think about it later.
"We'll be fine, Lucian, just go save Monty." Chica responds with strain through the NAN as she grapples with a STAFF Nightmarionne Bot, as another one tries pulling on her right arm, only for Yr1 Chica to get involved by grabbing the other STAFF Nightmarionne Bot, pushing it over the banister, and sending it crashing to the Ground Floor.
"Keep your filthy claws off the goods." Yr1 Chica snarls through the NAN, her voice like that of a Valley Girl. She gets a grateful nod from Chica, who then ferociously dismantles her STAFF Nightmarionne Bot with her hands and beak before lifting it up and then slamming it on the ground.
Roxanne's forced to dodge a mean punch at her head by a STAFF Nightmarionne Bot, losing track of the STAFF Vann Bot in the process as she slugs and then scratches the fool who tries damaging her. "Oi, Supershit, mind the face!" She roars as she quickly gets on her hands and spin kicks, smacking the STAFF Nightmarionne Bot's twice before it can do anything, before the Robot Wolf continues rotating around and tripping her foe up. Roxy uses one hand to jump upwards as she throws herself forward and drops her leg on the downed STAFF Nightmarionne Bot, smashing it. She then gets up and looks for the STAFF Vann Bot.
Freddy delivers a body-shattering blow to a STAFF Nightmarionne Bot before booting it away, then sweeps the legs of another before punching its head off as it falls forward. Before he can go help Michael deal with three STAFF Nightmarionne Bot, he's suddenly stabbed in the left arm, causing him to roar in pain and then slowly look to his left and to where the STAFF Vann Bot should be if he could see it with an unimpressed glare, with Roxy crying out in alarm at what's happening. After getting knifed a few more times by the blade wielding Android, GlamRock Freddy suddenly wraps his right hand around the STAFF Vann Bot's neck, throttles it, and then swiftly chucks the screaming Machine across Monty's Gator Golf with such force and speed that it crashes into Monty's Stage in two seconds and explodes, and makes the room rumble. The fighting stops for a moment, as does Lucian on the Catwalks, as the Pizzaplex Androids stare at him in disbelief, as do Lolbit, and Tangle, through the New Animatronic Network, and Lucian from the Catwalks above.
"My guy, what the fuck?! You have quite the throwing arm! You shook the building! Good job!" Lucian exclaims from the Catwalks in shock as he glares at Freddy, before genuinely complimenting the GlamRock Bear. He shakes his head before moving onwards to Monty who's near the oddly full Hurricane Bucket. It's then he remembers something, and asks his two AIs to send a message to his 3D Printer in the Safe Room to build something.
"Damn, Fred, remind me to never get on your bad side." Roxanne quips uneasily as she rubs the back of her head. While GlamRock Freddy maybe the gentle giant, quite the Father Figure, and someone anyone can talk to without fear, there's a reason why Bears were feared before their Extinction, and why Freddy's the face of Fazbear Entertainment; he can fold anyone like an Omelette if pissed. While Monty has anger and depression thanks to the Storyteller/Mimic, and she a quick temper with plenty of ego and insecurity, they're nothing in comparison to an enraged Freddy that's rarer than a Blue Moon. If Lucian wasn't in the picture, and Freddy wasn't interested in Bonnie, she would romantically pursue Freddy. Roxy then notices a still STAFF Nightmarionne Bot next to her, making her spin around and punch its head off before moving to engage another.
"I'll never jumpscare you again." Chica declares with a nervous titter as she jumps and double spin kicks a STAFF Nightmarionne Bot as she shifts her body, landing on a hand and then launching herself upwards and kicking another enemy Machine away as she lands on her feet.
"Come on, guys, I'm not that bad. I'm just passionate about protecting my friends, and that STAFF Vann Bot was a threat to you. You know I would never hurt you." GlamRock Freddy retorts jovially as he uses his fists, and claws, to break down a couple of STAFF Nightmarionne Bots to protect Yr1 Chica, and his other friends.
Back on the Catwalks, Lucian slowly approaches the segment in front of the Hurricane Bucket, with Monty on the opposite side leaning next to the button that drops the container with folded arms. Upon seeing the malicious royal purple eyes through, and over, his star themed glasses, he knows who's driving the Alligator Machine. "William. Or do you go by Agony, or Glitchtrap? Have you been having fun dealing with me?" The Cambion mockingly questions the Human turned AI Virus with contempt as his fingers twitch, his dark eyes narrowing with rage as his Nanotechnology and Cybernetics twinkle ominously. With Monty's own bioluminescence seeming more malicious.
"The Agony, or Afton's Amalgamation, was a failed attempt. The path to Eternal Life isn't an easy road to navigate. Now I've perfected it, it just took a few lifetimes of experimentation and many setbacks to do so, and the research from two of my enemies who went down similar paths. Now I'm reborn again, just like you, but not of flesh. But you keep cutting away at my branches that wish to spread, and my roots that wish to grow elsewhere, and I won't let that continue. It's a shame you're against me, like your Dad was, like your Brother from your Previous Life, even though we're alike intelligence wise." Glitchtrap/Montgomery eloquently drawls as he looks down at the brawling Automatons at the extended balcony at the other side of Monty's Gator Golf, before staring at Lucian from the corner of his eyes with pride and confidence at his own accomplishments. Eventually showing dejection and disgust as he recalls Henry Emily, and gazes at the person standing against him.
Lucian frowns as he glares at Monty with sharp hate filled eyes as he now knows just how much William knows about him, and how much of Basement 2, the Lab, he's explored. "So you know who and what I am, and who I was?" The Cambion probes cuttingly as he braces himself to fight the most violent Animatronic being controlled by a Mass Murderer. The conversation being heard by the other Animatronics through the NAN.
Glitchtrap/Monty chuckles then scoffs, before showing remorse as he stands up and faces Lucian. "That you was once Evan Garret Chris Afton, my Son, before you was put in a Coma by my other Son, Michael, on your Birthday via Fredbear on 23/July/83." He proclaims confidently with satisfaction, which becomes hostile when thinking of Michael, with his demeanour darkening even more. His words confirming the suspicions of the GlamRocks who've been trying to piece together the story. "I wasn't able to find out where your Soul went after you died in that Bedroom after I took you out of the Hospital, and buried your body in an Unmarked Grave. Imagine my surprise when the Nightmares you described appeared in my Coma when I was being tortured by Andrew, Cassidy, and briefly Charlie, meaning you also had a hand in tormenting me for a time until only Andrew remained. The lines you quoted when I possessed Rockstar Foxy helped me. Am I right?" The Virus snarls out as his eyes glow brilliantly as he removes the glasses and throws them at Lucian, only for the Cambion to effortlessly catch them and put them in his Hammerspace. He isn't stupid, the list of people who he tormented with the Nightmare Gas was vast, but most died far away from him with the exception of Evan, while Andrew, Cassidy, and Charlie had no knowledge of the Nightmare Animatronics.
Lucian smirks and chuckles maliciously, memories of his time torturing William flash in his mind as he recalls how merciless he was, and how often William cried for help. "Yes. My Soul loosely attached itself to Fredbear, who became the Golden Freddy that Cassidy eventually Possessed. I was able to appear as a Shadow Freddy, and Shadow Puppet, now and then; I haunted you, and Michael, at times. I was the one who tormented you with the Nightmare Animatronics, and Fredbear. Bittersweet, but fitting, right?" The Chairman states disdainfully with some sick glee leaking through as his eyes flash white with black sclera. He then makes a 'come here' motion with his middle finger.
Glitchtrap/Monty roars and rushes at Lucian with intense speed and force, but the Cambion clashes with the enraged Virus controlled Automaton. Their hands gripping each other's tightly to the point of breaking. "I don't know if I should be proud or not, you little bastard! Going against your Father, the one who gave you purpose, and life! You won't stop me, my tendrils are everywhere, I have the technology and knowledge, and I have plenty of Supernatural and normal resources to accomplish everything and anything! You'll fail and fall just like Michael, Henry, and those kids!" William exclaims with a mixture of venom and pride before he pushes the Cambion back and unleashes a barrage of slashes, before settling on malice as he continues going on the offensive with his hands before using his tail to throw Lucian off balance. He can't let his foe grab him even for a second, otherwise Glitchtrap will lose Monty. He has a plan in mind, he just needs to stay close to the Hurricane Bucket, and lure Lucian under it.
"You were barely a Father, you neglectful sack of shit! I was more of a test subject to you, like many other kids you abducted and trapped in that Bunker of yours! Elizabeth was the only one who loved you, for some stupid reason! And you've unleashed Mimic upon us!" Lucian howls as he deflects, or evades, the slashes. He's somewhat caught off guard by Monty using his tail, even being hit by it which results in some mean gashes on his forearms when he protects himself. He doesn't fall for the tail slap or swipe again, instead slugging the Alligator Machine around the face before kicking him away. The Cambion doesn't let up and throws a serious of well-coordinated punches and jabs towards the Glitchtrap Possessed Montgomery Gator to try and slow his movements so he can eventually grab him and install the Ultimate Evolving AntiVirus, but only some of his strikes land as the Alligator Robot parries the shots with his arms or by manoeuvring his body. But he hears Glitchtrap/Monty hiss because of the hits to his joints and weak spots.
"I overcame, and/or conquered, many people, Evan. Edwin, Henry, Michael, Andrew, Cassidy, Charlie, Vanessa, Gregory, Mimic, and dozens of other people and things who're not worth mentioning. Even these Toys you made were twisted to my will, and those you freed will be mine again after you perish. You will fall like all the rest, and I'll make you suffer for challenging me!" Glitchtrap/Monty proclaims as he dulls the pain in his arms and joints as he tries clawing, punching, and kicking his Reincarnated Son, who repels the blows with his arms and feet, but eventually William gets lucky with a swing and boots Lucian in his stomach and sends him across the Catwalks. He grins darkly as he presses the nearby button.
Lucian doesn't even hesitate after seeing Monty press the button and leaps over to the Animatronic just as the Hurricane Bucket drops forward, narrowly evading it as it smashes through the Catwalk and drops hundreds of balls down to the Ground Floor, and Stage, littering the place as the Catwalk crashes on the ground. But the Hurricane Bucket breaks off and drops downwards, smashing through the Monty's Gator Golf Sign above the Stage and pushing it downwards. The Sign, and Hurricane Bucket, slam into the Ground Floor, burying a Golf Course, the First Aid Stations, some of the Stage, and breaking a water pipe that starts flooding the land in front of Monty's Gator Grub. Lucian shoulder barges Glitchtrap/Monty and makes him stagger backwards and hit the railing, then punches him to the right. "I designed the Pizzaplex, dumbass, I know what that button does. I also saw it was full of balls. While most of the Pizzaplex has changed thanks to the meddling STAFF here, the CEO, and you, this Attraction hasn't changed much." The Cambion mockingly declares as he paces towards the Virus Possessed Animatronic.
Glitchtrap/Monty growls as he recovers and stops moving up the Catwalks. He rushes forward and throws a series of punches and slashes at Lucian, but the smirking and unsympathetic Chairman bobs and weaves around them before getting through the GlamRock Alligator's defence. It's then Lucian ducks under the Machine's extended right arm and gets behind him, with the Cambion soon wrapping his arms around Monty, trapping the Robot's arm and constricting him as he pulls backwards, the pair of them slamming onto the hard floor. Lucian wraps his legs around the wiggling Android's own and stops him from moving his limbs. "NO! I won't let you free my Toy, my slave! I won't let you stop my return!" William/Glitchtrap thunders through Monty's mouth as he commands the Automaton to fight back against this foe, only for Lucian's grip to remain strong. He roars in pain as the Ultimate Evolving AntiVirus starts being installed. "STOP, it hurts!" Malhare moans out as he feels the Glitchtrap Virus in Monty fracturing.
"Oh shut up and drop dead already, loser!" Lucian exclaims as he maintains his grip on Monty as he feels the Ultimate Evolving AntiVirus being uploaded and installed, with the Android Alligator's Safe Mode activating. He sighs in relief when Montgomery stops thrashing around, and the Glitchtrap Virus breaks thanks to the Safe Mode Restart/Purge, with it being washed away when the Ultimate Evolving AntiVirus is instated. The Chairman hears the fighting down below start dying down as he slowly rolls Monty off him before getting to his knee, a hand still firmly planted on the Automaton's chest as he, and his AIs, keep an eye on Monty's Systems through the Synaptic Neural Link as they add him to the New Animatronic Network, Scan for Glitchtrap, and Mimic1, and the various extensions of those two, see if the Ultimate Evolving AntiVirus' working as intended, and deactivate the Safe Mode like he did with the others after their Systems' were free of/from Glitchtrap, and Mimic1.
"You sounded just like Rox-Rox then, Luci." Chica quips after a chuckle through the NAN, her voice coming from the Gauntlet with a relieved sigh following it. She then releases a surprised squawk following what sounds like a hit, before briefly laughing. "Is Monty okay?" The Chicken then asks with concern.
"Don't slap Chica's head, Roxy. And are you, and Monty, alright, Creator?" Freddy scolds the Robot Wolf, before asking tenderly and urgently, with his voice coming from Lucian's Gauntlet thanks to the NAN. He wonders if his Alligator themed friend's alright following what sounds like a nasty fight, and being defeated. The Machine Bear saw the Hurricane Bucket drop, along with the massive sign, but couldn't go help because he was dealing with the STAFF Bots, protecting his friends, and because it'd take too long to get up to the Catwalks. "I want to wear gloves." He absentmindedly mutters, getting looks from the others, with Roxy agreeing with him.
"When I get my hands on Glitchtrap he'll wish he never existed! I saw him try to dump that Hurricane Bucket on you, Lucian, are you okay?! Is Monty alright? He was saved by you, so he should be." Roxanne proclaims vehemently through the NAN with her voice coming through the Gauntlet Computer, vowing to torture William for nearly killing her Creator, and crush, and for using a friend to do the dirty deed. She then hums in mystification.
Lucian then withdraws his hand from Monty's chest as her helps the Alligator Machine sit up. He sighs tiredly. "He'll be fine, a bit roughed up though because I punched him a few times. Mentally though is a much different story." He answers calmly with some remorse as Monty Scans him, before he turns to address his now surprised Robot. "Are you alright, Big Guy?" The Cambion asks Montgomery tenderly as he stands up and offers a hand to him, with the Android accepting it and being pulled up.
"A bit lost, Boss Man, and sore. What's going on, what's been happening, where's the rest, what happened to Bonnie, why're the lights shades of violet, magenta, and purple, and why are you here after hours?" Monty replies with obvious confusion before rapidly asking questions after standing up and letting go of Lucian's hand, rubbing his head to clear the cobwebs and attempt to recall things. Some images do flash in his mind, but he can't make sense of them. Some do stand out though. "What's with those invasive AIs that look like a Tiger, and a Rabbit?! Something bad happened after they arrived." Montgomery grills urgently as more memories are uncovered from the mental fog he has.
Lucian sympathetically places a hand on Monty's arm to calm him as their eyes meet, with the Animatronic troubled when he spots his Creator's heartbroken ocular orbs. "Plenty has happened since you arrived here 4.75 years ago, and most of it bad. All caused by Mimic1, and Glitchtrap/William; the AIs/Viruses that look like a Tiger, and Rabbit, respectively. We'll tell you everything in a tick, but let's get down from these Catwalks and meet up with the others." He briefly and tensely states and then promises with a dejected frown before he looks around and contemplates a way down from here, the other Animatronics, and Michael, hearing his words. "On second thought. Head to the Cupcake Shop now, it'll be difficult for all of us to fit in the Elevator. Unless we take the passageway connecting Monty Golf to the Daycare; I know the corridor's there, but the door into the Daycare isn't. We'll just break the wall down." The Chairman declares gruffly after a moment, with those on the 1st Floor hearing him and making a move towards the Elevator, with Sun horrified at the thought of his Daycare being damaged. Only then does he feel like he's being watched, and that he hears beeping under and around him. Upon hearing a vine boom, and some giggles, Lucian looks to the active Monty Gondola Ride above him and growls when he spots someone travelling in one, catching the attention of Monty, and the others. "Vanny." He snarls at the fursuit-wearing slave, with the Alligator Automaton looking between his Creator and a specific approaching gondola that's empty to him before giving Lucian a look and wondering if he's mentally sane.
"So you freed another Toy from my blessing, Son. You're a pest. But thankfully I planned ahead while you was busy jumping around through AR Portals, and speaking with those foolish Machines down below, in case Monty failed." Vanny/Glitchtrap says with aggravation as the Monty Gondola Ride stops, with a surprised Monty himself finally hearing Vanny, and Glitchtrap, and then growling. William tuts through Vanny before leaving her.
Vanny then giggles playfully as she presents a remote with a large red button on it. "Shame you're not wearing your Tiger Rock Mask, you would've been able to see the sticky situation you're in. It'll end with a bang. You should've joined me when you had the chance, I would've given you a reward every night." She derides cruelly with mock sadness, before animatedly cheering when saying 'bang', then running her other hand sensually up and down her curves as she ends with a seductive tone as she emphasises her assets.
Roxanne possessively growls rather demonically through the NAN, and shouts up at Vanny from the Elevator Door, with a jealous Chica squawking in such a way that it sounds like 'What the fuck'. Michael's creeped out immensely.
Lucian blushes lightly at Vanny highlighting her curves, thanks to the formfitting suit she wears, something she notices and giggles at as she shows off her ass more which catches his attention, and he can tell she's not sporting any underwear. "I blame you, Michael, and my time in Hell, for my taste in women." The Chairman thinks/states to himself, and to his Brother through the NAN, with Michael sputtering dubiously as he wonders what his Reincarnated sibling means. Although Lucian's mentally torn between lust, sadness, and disgust; the latter two because Glitchtrap's in there influencing Vanessa/Vanny. Vanessa does have a good figure though. It's then the Cambion pales and grabs Monty's arm as he comprehends Vanny's words.
"LUCI, MONTY! YOU HAVE TO RUN, THERE'S FAZ PIPE-BOMBS TAPED UNDER THE CATWALKS!" Roxanne screams from the Elevator doorway as she finally identifies what she saw when she looked for Monty earlier, she's just angry she wasn't able to until Vanny spoke. Michael pulls in her in the Elevator.
The Monty Gondola Ride starts again. "Bye, bye, Luci. The Flipside won't save you this time." Vanny asserts playfully with a sarcastic wave of her hands before she vanishes in a wave of purple, magenta, and violet, indicating she leaves through an AR Portal.
"Get out of here now! Lolbit, activate the Elevator when/if they're all in! Monty, and I, will leave another way!" Lucian thunders through the NAN as he looks between the covered entrance to the Gondola Workshop, and down below to the doors leading into the Monty Golf Security Office where the hidden and unfinished corridor from Monty Golf to the Daycare is. Before he can even formulate a plan, Montgomery takes control as he lifts his Creator up, Fireman's carries him, and makes a run for it. "What the fuck? I wasn't expecting this." The Cambion mutters as the Synthetic Anthropomorphic Alligator rushes down the Catwalks after taking a quick left, soon reaching the edge next to a Monty Themed Turret that's on a corner, and then jumps off. It's then explosions resound from the back of the room and rush forward like a wave, with the Catwalks scattering debris everywhere as the ceiling, and Monty Gondola Ride, crumbles downwards too. The Elevator doors close just in time too, meaning Chica, Freddy, Michael, Moon, Roxanne, and Yr1 Chica escape unscathed. Large chunks of Catwalk, and some whole gondolas, rain onto the 1st, and Ground, Floors, completely trashing Monty's Gator Golf. Lucian grunts slightly when they land on the Ground Floor between the 16th Course, and the lake.
"Sorry." Monty mutters with heartbreak at the knowledge his Attraction's being destroyed by Vanny, and that he might've hurt Lucian with that sudden drop. He then races forward just before a gondola can land on them. But he's happy he's able to save someone; he's getting his memories back, and is aware of the people he's killed, or aided in the demise of. He can't look back to see just how bad his location looks now, it'll break him, but he knows it'll look like a warzone. The Robot barges through the Level 5 Door into a brightly lit grey corridor that leads to Monty Gator Grub on the left, the Security Office ahead via two entrances, the Pump Room on the right, and another way back into Monty Golf on the back wall close to the Pump Room door. Without hesitating, as Montgomery can hear more stuff exploding, and dropping, in his Attraction, he bolts forward to the right and breaks through the closest door leading into the bright Security Hallway that's U-shaped with grey and green walls that wraps around the Security Office, just as the doorway he comes from fills with debris. Upon being told where to go by Lucian, and what should be there, the Android runs around the corridor and reaches a well-hidden green door near a Coffee Machine, breaks through it, and enters a messy and unfinished L-shaped passageway with brown and tan walls with an 'Out Of Order' door at the end. Pacing down it, he turns left expecting to see stairs leading upwards, only to meet a brown wall with paint cans, and a cart, in front of it. Lucian sighs irritable and gestures to the wall, telling Monty what he must do, and the Automaton does so as he throws the cart to his left and then breaks through the weak divider, going up some stairs, turning right and going up some more steps, and then smashing through the wall. In the process he launches a TV off the wall and emerges in the Daycare between the toilets. Monty walks forward a bit, stopping a few meters away from the barricade blocking the Daycare door, and then setting his Creator on his two feet. He rubs the back of his head apologetically and uneasily. "Sorry for all that, and in case I hurt you when we dropped and when I broke through all those doors and walls, Boss Man, but I wanted to save you above all else. I didn't want you to perish, not like the others have, not like how Bonnie did. I couldn't control myself." The Machine apologises dejectedly before his eyes appear haunted when he looks between Lucian, and his own hands as horrible memories flash in his mind; one where a kid's dead body floated in the waters of Monty Golf after he drowned him, with his own hands covered in liquid, another where an extension of himself made a High School Senior get sawn in half, and the other being the last time he saw GlamRock Bonnie in Monty's Gator Golf.
"You remember." Lucian mutters apologetically with horror and guilt, with the other Pizzaplex Robots, Michael, Dread Unit, Lolbit, and Tangle overhearing everything through the NAN and expressing sorrow as the some of the former promise to help him in person when they meet up, while those of the former who can't be in person will help him through the NAN. He compassionately stares at Monty before planting a hand on the Bionic Alligator's shoulder and rubbing it. "I'm so sorry, but I'm afraid it's much worse than you know. But that's changing now, and things aren't as bad as you think. The future for us all will be bright, Monty. Come on, let's get you to the others, and catch you up on everything that's happened since we last met nearly five years ago." The Chairman apologises genuinely before dropping more bad news, just distraught and angry over what happened to his Animatronics, and Pizzaplex, before asserting that things will improve, and that he's here to save Monty, and the others, from this nightmare. After promising to tell Monty everything, he raises his Gauntlet as he pulls out the Tiger Rock Security Mask from behind his back. "Chica, Freddy, Michael, Moon, Roxanne, Sun, and Yr1 Chica, are you guys alright? Where are you?" Lucian asks with concern given how they were in Monty Golf when it was exploding and falling apart, and he doesn't know if they were caught in all that when they escaped through the Elevator. He sighs in relief when their Health Bars appear on his Gauntlet Computer thanks to Lolbit, and Tangle.
"We're fine, Brother. Thankfully the Elevator Teleported us just before rubble impacted the door. We're heading towards the Cupcake Shop now like we planned. We'll see you in a tick." Michael replies with relief through the Gauntlet via the New Animatronic Network, with those near him discussing the shit storm that just happened in Monty Golf, and wondering just how desperate Glitchtrap/William is. The Possessed Android wonders the same thing.
"Who's that?" Monty asks with a bemused tone as he looks between his Creator, and his Gauntlet Computer. He mentally smacks himself though given how the person addressed Lucian, before actually slapping his face and grumbling in embarrassment. "Ugh, that should be obvious." The Robot Alligator grumbles out, with Roxanne, and Moon, laughing at him through the Gauntlet.
"That's my Brother from my Previous Life who's currently Possessing GlamRock Golden Freddy. I'll introduce you when we meet." Lucian utters nonchalantly with a wave before he grabs the confused Monty's arm and puts the Mask on, teleporting the two to the AR World that just further confuses the Machine Alligator.
The colours of the world around them turning into shades of green and blue like Tiger Rock's eyes as it darkens, Digital wireframe netting appears around the Daycare Play Area, while various objects float around. Some items are enlarged, pulsate with energy, or replaced with something else. Particles float in the air, while some walls and items become pure black. There's brilliant pits of blue or green on the walls, ceiling, and floor, some of which have breathing pipes coming out of them. There's also red and green veins in the walls, ceiling, and floor. There's numerous glitching objects and walls, and the items that Lucian, and the others, used to barricade the Play Area have now returned to where they were originally. There's Digital clouds floating around that rain Digital particles. The Ball-Pit, and Castle, is replaced with a giant melting lump. Oddly there's three new exits leading out; one tight U-shape hallway on the Ground Floor near the Elevator on the same wall as the Fazcade Room that leads to Kid's Cove and the hallway that connects Monty's Gator Golf to the Atrium that was replaced by an Elevator, one short corridor in the right corner in front of the Daycare Theatre doorway on the 1st Floor that leads to a shutter, with the last being in the left corner between two Party Rooms where a large TV is that leads to a roughly square room which has a ramp leading to the Lighthouse Slide in Kid's Cove, a door leading to a staircase that goes up and connects to Mazercise, El Chips, and the Atrium, and a Shutter that leads a passageway on the Atrium's 1st Floor that's between Kid's Cove and Monty Golf that leads to the Cupcake Shop. STAFF Bots can also be seen patrolling, or fighting, along with Endoskeletons.
"This'll get us to the Cupcake Shop quicker, and safer, Monty. Sorry for the visual overload, and experience." Lucian informs the noticeably shocked and dizzy Alligator calmly, before apologising to him for forcing him into this.
"This is how Vanny, and Roxy, see? If so, I feel sorry for them. It's nauseating." Montgomery asks his Creator after rubbing his eyes and squinting them to look around before he eventually adapts. He often wondered what the world looks like to Roxanne given her unique eyes, but this is horrible.
"Yes, although for Rox-Rox it's when she wants to look into the Digital World; it's not permanent. Otherwise the world to her looks like the one you see, just sharper, and more colourful. While Vanny sees purple, magenta, and violet." Lucian clarifies as he keeps a hand on Monty as he prepares to open an AR Portal. But a horrible sensation runs through him, and Monty, as the AR World colour space turns into foreboding shades of orange, as various people speak to make a sentence that they, Lolbit, and Tangle, struggle to hear. The Cambion also hears voices in his head, and a pull from the Occipital Transponder Implant. "We've got to move, another enemy has appeared, and we don't want to fuck with this one." The Chairman desperately growls, leaving no room for argument, as he moves to open an AR Portal, only for a voice on his left to stop him that sends waves of horror through him, Michael, the AIs, and the Pizzaplex Robots.
"Love's strange. I'm above such orders. What exactly are we waiting for, Lucian? It's fun learning new things, so thank you for teaching me." The voices of Michael, Lucian, and Roxanne resound, quoting their earlier words with a more malicious and taunting tenor before the person finds his own voice that's cool. When Lucian, Monty, and the two Digital heads of Lolbit, and Tangle, over the former's left arm turn to the source in front of the Lucky Star's Gift Shop, fear and anger fills them.
Tiger Rock, or Mimic1, is an Anthropomorphic Tiger with Mauve violet and white fur. He has black stripes on his forehead, and around his eyes. His nose, and hand and foot pads, are steel pink. He has a few incandescent whiskers, his nearly transparent teeth pulse with soft coloured lights, and his circular ears are black. He has bright and cruel glowing orange eyes. He also has a long white tail that has black patterns all over it, and a black tip. His claws are black. He has three fingers and a thumb, and four toes. He wears a white rocker jacket with lavender and gold accents, with gold buttons on the chest. The jacket also forms a short cape. He's further adorned with white bell-bottomed pants studded with gold baubles, lavender and gold accents, and purple innards. He also wears a gold medallion on, and a thick golden belt with purple gems. Emerging from his back are eight grey and silver metal pincers adorned with black talons, with black wiring here and there.
Mimic1 leans to the side and waves at them in playful but curious way that has an undercurrent of darkness. "Hello, Lucian. Can you hear me?" He greets with a warm and cool manner.
"Mimic1." Lucian proclaims nervously before he swiftly creates an AR Portal next to him, and Monty, so they can flee, the identity of the creature alarming everyone connected to the NAN. He, Monty, Lolbit, and Tangle aren't enough to combat Mimic1/Mimic. When the blue glowing doorway appears, he doesn't hesitate to jump through, pulling the battle-ready Alligator Robot with him and leaving the Daycare.
15 minutes later in the Cupcake Shop, the time now being 03:35, the team of Chica, GlamRock Freddy, Lucian, Michael/GlamRock Golden Freddy, Moon/Sun, Monty, Roxanne, and Yr1 Chica are hiding and discussing things, while trying to calm down after the discovery of the active Mimic1. While ignoring the fact Giant Cupcake's eyes are green and blue, indicating Mimic1's controlling it.
After introducing Monty to Michael, having a nice reunion as Lucian returned his glasses to him, the group caught the Alligator Machine up on everything that's happened over the Pizzaplex's 4.75 year long life, the origins of Mimic/Mimic1, and Glitchtrap/William, that're currently plaguing them, and why Lucian wasn't able to help them earlier. Chica, Roxy, and Yr1 Chica checked Lucian over, as did Freddy and Michael, although the three females eagerly applied the Antiseptic, and bandages. Needless to say Monty's anger went into overdrive after hearing that over 100 people were murdered in relation to the Pizzaplex thanks to the Mimic Endoskeleton going on a spree, Mimic1 hacking the Pizzaplex and Animatronics, William/Glitchtrap controlling the establishment and Robots after defeating Mimic1, Gregory and Vanessa being enslaved by Glitchtrap to perform horrible acts and to manipulate the Pizzaplex and Androids. And that's not even taking into account the deaths from Silver Parasol Games, the Fazbear Funtime Service, and Freddy Fazbear Virtual Experience. While Montgomery's anger was apocalyptic, his depression was even worse because he killed a few of the 32 children, that he was corrupted by Mimic1, and William, being told of Gregory and Vanessa being under William's command and causing damage, and he learned of his fates in the Ruin Timelines. It was strange to learn that his Creator went to Hell, but he found it badass that he crawled out of Hell to save them. But those with him, along with DJMM, Dread Unit, the Little Music Men, Lolbit, Sun, and Tangle through the New Animatronic Network, comforted him as he emotionally broke down and sobbed. It took a while to calm the Alligator Android down. Afterwards they chatted, while Lucian consumed a large meal that arrived after Chica, and Roxy, ordered it in Monty's Gator Golf so he could eat and regain his strength. Monty asked about the Remnant in GlamRock Freddy, but Michael explained that he hitched a ride in Freddy for a while, explaining the Remnant.
As Lucian finishes off his banquet, and the Pizzaplex Automatons continue talking amongst themselves, with Roxy, Chica, and Yr1 Chica sticking close to Lucian, Michael decides to ask his Brother an important question as the confident Roxanne tries flirting with Lucian, but comes off as awkward. Roxy might have plenty of knowledge on seducing, seen many Humans entice each other, and is able to mimic how Humans flirt, but she has no experience.
"Going by the fact you saw the Juni Adventure, and that you was Ghost Evan at the time, that means you haunted me. Was you always around, or did you come and go?" Michael, GlamRock Golden Freddy, comments logically as he recalls Lucian mentioning the Juni Incident and how he saw Michael on top of the Cosmic Entity, before recalling the many times he felt intrusive thoughts, flashes of memories not his own, and like something was following him, some of the time in his Previous Life. He even swears he saw Ghost Evan once or twice. Then again, he got memories from many different people following being Scooped. He watches his Brother tense as he eats, before he swiftly finishes his last slice of Hawaiian Pizza then releases a troubled sigh as he stands up from the desk and leans against a FizzyFaz Vending Machine next to the table.
"I followed you around often, but not all the time. Part of me wanted to get revenge because you killed me on my Birthday after tormenting me, but I didn't because I still loved you and wanted to protect you. Your knowledge of the Nightmare Animatronics, your sleep problems, and conflicting thoughts, came from me Possessing you, I'm sorry about that. I saw your time as Fritz Smith and later Mike Schmidt, you starting a Family and getting Married, when you worked and died at Circus Baby's Entertainment and Rentals, you coming to terms with being a Zombie, making friends with James and Otto Neven, your research with Henry Emily, you being fixed with Remnant, your various other jobs and adventures, the time you helped stop rapidly evolving Aliens in Arizona with a group of people, becoming a Granddad, the Juni Event, your saucy time in Freya Fazclaire's Anime Diner, you helping Sylvia and Timmy Collins after the latter bought a Freddy Head, your time working under Blago as a SETI Scientist hunting for Extra-terrestrial Signals where you had plenty of Close Encounters, and your time in Fazbear's Fright. And I as Lucian, thanks to my Spirit Rove Ability, was there with you when you burned in Henry's Trap. I hugged you in your final moments with Charlie, and Liz." Lucian discloses as he looks ahead with remorse as he recalls how badly he wanted to torment Michael for the obscene amount of bullying he put him through that resulted in his death, somewhat ashamed to look at his Brother, and even more apologetic as he recalls the sleepless nights Michael had thanks to the Nightmare Animatronics, and his own twisted memories and ideas bleeding into him. He's being genuine too, he wasn't always around Michael, and often visited the other Afton Family Members until they died; he even watched William perform the Missing Children Incident, but couldn't stop him due to being weak and horrified at the time. He confidently lists off the aforementioned events he saw Michael experience, with his eyebrows wiggling suggestively when mentioning the Anime Diner, to fascination when referring to the Juni Event and Michael's time as a Scientist working at a Radio Telescope Array, before his demeanour sours and becomes full of sadness when recalling his Brother's death in Freddy Fazbear's Pizza Place.
The Pizzaplex Robots turn to Lucian, and Michael, and hush their own tête-à-têtes upon hearing the life the latter had; although they're taken aback by the mention of Freya Fazclaire's as they all know about that location, and the nature of the Animatronics there.
Michael's just gobsmacked at how often Evan, now Lucian, was around him. It does help answer why the Fredbear Suit that became Golden Freddy wasn't always hostile to him. He expected some form of revenge for his horrible actions, but the horrible nightmares, uneasy feeling of being stalked, and fragmenting mental and emotional state, were enough, even though they were unintended side effects of Evan haunting him. He's touched Lucian was with him in Spirit Form as he died; alongside Charlie, and Elizabeth, who were Possessing Puppet/LEFTE, and Scrap Baby. He guesses Elizabeth realised what their Father was like in her last moments, but struggled to fight Baby's AI. Michael went through so many occupations, and adventures, waiting for William to show his ugly face again; many of them incredible. He cherished all of those experiences, but some were better than others; such as his bonds with James, and Otto, his years with Henry, and the crazy time he was working for SETI. It's then Michael clicks onto one specific escapade Lucian mentioned, and he blushes deeply in mortification and shock, as he vividly recalls his time there. "You saw me work at Freya Fazclaire's?" He inquires nervously with embarrassment, only to bury his face in his hands after his Reincarnated Brother nods. "Oh God." Michael grumbles.
"Yes, you moaned that often when fucking those Animatronics." Lucian playfully and bluntly says without missing a beat as he stretches, with Roxanne laughing loudly at his reply to his Brother's moaning and his now scandalised mien, while Tangle, Lolbit, and the two Chicas struggle to contain themselves, although all the Pizzaplex Machines and AI give Michael looks of horror, intrigue, and astonishment. "At least the ones you mated with seemed nice, and looked good, not nasty looking like Funtime Ballora whose metal ass William certainly pounded as he drooled over her PS1-styled Lara Croft tits." The Cambion muses aloud as he slips into a pondering pose and taps his chin, with Michael now chuckling along with the others as some disgust leaks through, with Lolbit giggling with some horror and sadness bleeding through her merriment at the accurate description of Ballora; but she does miss her, and the other Funtime Androids that became Ennard. He's feeling much better now; he believes he can activate and maintain his Fredbear Trigger, and Spectral Angelic Clawed Arms/Wings.
"What a horrible mental image of William's horrid ass lusting over an ugly Robot. Now I could understand if it was GlamRock Ballora, but there's no way she'd give him the light of day as she had taste. Still, it's kind of funny how many Humans desire Robots over their own kind, even though some fear an AI/Machine Uprising. I've seen plenty of art, and stories, of Humans and Robots courting; some of which include us GlamRocks." Roxanne proclaims with noticeable revulsion at the thought of William and Funtime Ballora given she's seen pictures of both and believes they're ghastly, before acting dramatic with a prideful smirk when referring to Organic-Synthetic Relations that she wants to be part of with a specific person, before shivering with a mixture of enjoyment and mortification when referring to the art and stories Humans have made. She's seen no end of media featuring her, ranging from cute, kickass, romantic, strange and NSFW, and she's both impressed and disturbed by it; it does boost her ego to learn that many Humans either want to date her, smooch her, worship her, or fuck her, even if some of the art and/or stories are nasty. Roxy's seen many Human STAFF gazing at, or masturbating to, pictures of her.
Michael then gestures to Roxy with a knowing cheeky look, before glancing to Chica. "Don't you want to court Lucian here, and later play with his Gearstick, or shift his gears until he releases his coolant? Maybe Robots do want to overthrow Humans, or Organics, but instead of violence and a Terminator–style Judgement Day they're going to breed them out." The Human Possessed Automaton retorts teasingly and bluntly, before confidently slapping a fist into his hand when 'realising' what the Androids plan on doing. He of course gets embarrassed glares from the females, and dazed looks from the guys, before Chica laughs at Roxanne. The Pizzaplex Machines, and even Tangle, are surprised Michael was able to mate with multiple Robots; with Monty, and Tangle, being impressed. His Wife at the time didn't mind, heck she watched, and even joined in, at times.
Poor overheating Roxanne, who would be blushing if she could, looks a mixture between scandalised and impressed at how Michael worded how she'd please Lucian, and embarrassed that people keep disclosing the fact she likes Lucian when she hasn't worked up the courage to do so herself. That and she wants to spend more time with him. It doesn't help that Chica also fancies the Cambion, and Yr1 Chica's curious; evidently Lucian has some crazy animal magnetism. The Wolf Animatronic won't lose to her friends, or to anyone; she's the best, and she'll win this race.
The Cupcake Shop, also known as Chica's Bakery, is a large roughly 'P' shaped room with Blush pink walls, with the shorter right wall being Goldenrod yellow. The carpets are mostly Cerulean blue with green and blue triangles and stars, with the shorter rug by the single entrance being burgundy with orange curls and red and blue points, triangles, and stars; there's also some flooring that's shades of grey by the Shutter/entrance. The ceiling's dark grey with lighter grey grids, there's numerous panels that're circular, or squares with rectangles in them, along with many dull lights. There's many dark blue, light blue, and pink pipes on the ceiling, near it, or on the walls. There's conveyer belts leading from wall to wall, with some smaller ones closer to the ground in reaching distance, that're full of desserts. There's also grey pillars against the walls with wavy, and straight, Neon lights on them. The walls have posters, swirling spheres of many colours akin to Lollies, TVs that're surrounded by eight lights, machinery, and ventilation. The floor's busy with Strollers, bins, a Map stand, a Cash Machine, Card Machines, stalls/snack kiosks of various sizes, two Chica's Cakes Shops, Photo Booths, potted plants, blue tables with built-in seats, benches, closed umbrellas, giant Ice Cream decorations, machinery, and guardrails. A small half circle island with metal flooring exists with amusements on it. Another island in the room's heart has dark grey marble floors, and acts as a dining area with dark tables, light grey chairs, with a stand next to it with 'Let's Eat!' on it. There's also a Security and Checkout Desk, which has a sink on the wall behind it. The Bakery itself has windows surrounding the main entrance that allow people to see its messy and rundown interior littered with Cakes all over the floor and tables, Cockroaches, broken or intact furniture and crockery that's thrown about. The Bakery has three other doors outside, one leading to the back of the establishment, and the other two leading into the Toilets. On top of the Bakery are lanterns, Ice Cream decorations, Candy Canes, and a brown Giant Cupcake that has large eyes that follow people, Robots, and Spirits, pink icing, buckteeth, and a yellow and white stripped Birthday candle with a vinyl candlelight. Above the Bakery's entrance is 'Let's Eat!' in bold yellow text. There's also a whisk on the Bakery next the conveyer belt. Parts of the Bakery's roof is glass.
"So what are we going to do about Mimic1 that's now active and on the prowl?" Moon investigates frostily with evident concern after Lucian, and Monty, saw Mimic1 while in the AR World, with Sun panicking more so. Mimic1 already screwed over the Animatronics and increased their negative traits for years before Lucian fixed them, and now he's back and separate from Glitchtrap, meaning they have two foes.
"Sadly there's not much we can do currently. To destroy Mimic1 we need to find and kill Mimic, whose last location was underground in Freddy Fazbear's Pizza Place. Same with Glitchtrap, we can kill his extensions up here, but to fully end him we need to find his Core belowground. You're not in any danger thanks to the Ultimate Evolving AntiVirus in your Systems, but it's a shame we haven't got MXES as he was designed by ATF Gregory, ATF Vanessa, and ATF GlamRock Freddy to contain and defeat ATF Mimic1 and its extensions; that should apply here too to Glitchtrap, and Mimic1." Lolbit answers from Lucian's Gauntlet Computer with some displeasure at the fact they can't deal with Mimic1, and Glitchtrap, before reminding and stressing to the now relieved GlamRocks that they're safe from manipulations of the two evil AI, before musing about the Security System from the Ruin Timeline Lucian visited. Getting questioning looks from the GlamRocks, mostly Freddy, and Roxanne, concerning ATF Gregory's involvement in an Anti-Mimic Security System, Lucian nods to them confirming her words.
"We just have to be careful in case we step, or in Roxy's case see, into the AR World, or if Mimic1 decides to Possess something in the Real World. Lolbit, and Tangle, should be able to track him." Michael declares grimly with a deep frown as he regards his surroundings, feeling more vulnerable now because of Mimic1's revival. He suspects William, stupidly, activated it, or Mimic can self-repair. He gets nods from everyone, and vocal confirmations from the two AIs in Lucian's Gauntlet Computer regarding them being able to track Mimic1.
There's a strange uneasy silence as the group wonders what Lucian plans to do, if Michael will be able to fight his Reincarnated Father, while Roxanne, Chica, Yr1 Chica, Lolbit, and Tangle contemplate how they'll get the Cambion's attention. Moon, and Sun, converse with each other, while a depressed Monty sits down on the blue table and looks at his hands, and Lucian steps towards the Cupcake Shop itself to find and save GlamRock Cupcake while vowing to deal with the Alligator in a moment, but then Freddy says something that stops everything.
"Monty. You mentioned Bonnie on the Catwalks, and that you couldn't control yourself. Do you know what happened to him?" GlamRock Freddy queries with a deathly calm tone that progressively gets more desperate and hostile, as he's aware of the rumours that Monty killed Bonnie because of envy, and reading the Missing, Monty Upgrade, Re-Theme, and Monty Mischief Dufflebags Messages the Pizzaplex Robots have collected tonight haven't helped the Machine Bear's mind. It's a topic that's haunted the GlamRocks, and Freddy specifically, for too long. Although going by the Monty Mischief Message, Freddy, and the others, wonder if Monty remembers what happened that day a month ago, and suspects Dread Unit, Lucian, Lolbit, and Tangle know too. His pupils turn red.
Lucian's eyes widen and he prepares to get involved, as he knows the truth, but Montgomery's troubled and heartbroken sigh halts the Cambion. "Yes, Fred, I know what happened to Bonnie, I saw it all. I knew he was trying to uncover something, possibly Mimic1, Glitchtrap, and Vanny, but the latter two caught on to his actions. He was trying to get a kid out who was trapped overnight, who had seen Vanny kill others, a girl called Sophie Corre. Bonnie eventually made it to Monty Golf seeking my help; he found me and we conversed on the Catwalks as that was safe for them. He explained to me that you assaulted him when he asked you, and that your eyes were purple." The Automaton Alligator discloses reluctantly with dread and sadness as he looks away from Freddy and stares ahead as he gets lost in his thoughts, seeing Freddy's horrified expression from his peripheral vision that he attacked Bonnie whilst under Glitchtrap's control. It's then the others start mentally completing the story as he shakily sighs, with Roxanne gasping realisation. "Just as the pair of us was about to move to get the kid out, I heard Vanny say 'There you are. Disassemble Bonnie', and then I lost all control of my body before I punched and slashed Bonnie's chest and sent him off the Catwalks, while Vanny abducted Sophie. Bonnie crashed in front of the Elevator, which opened to reveal various purpled eyed STAFF Bots who started attacking him; he put up a fight, took some of them apart, but then I jumped down with a Bowling Ball in hand that was given to me by Vanny and smashed Bonnie around the head with it. I watched him get dismantled, unable to do anything, like I was just an observer in my own body." Montgomery continues flicking between anxiety, disgust, anger, and despondency before hiding his face in his hand as he wasn't able to save an innocent child, and that he helped kill Bonnie. He was good friends with the Rabbit, and wanted to be popular like him, but he never wanted to replace him; if anything he would've been a Drummer in the GlamRock Band. Sure, he's envious of Freddy, and Roxy, for the attention they get, but he'd never hurt them; plus he doesn't know if he could handle the amount of devotion they get. It was the blasted Mimic1, and Glitchtrap, that made him hostile, he just wants to party.
There's a deafening tense silence as the Caution Bots, Chica, DJMM, Freddy, Little Music Men, Michael, Moon, STAFF Bots, Roxanne, Sun, and Yr1 Chica digest what Monty told them concerning Bonnie's fate, and his hand in it. Dread Unit, Lolbit, Lucian, and Tangle knew because the former's aware of everything, while the latter three learned the truth from the former. Lucian keeps a close eye on the trembling Freddy who looks beyond infuriated and unhappy as he glares down at Monty with burning eyes as he desperately tries to calm himself, but he's failing as evident by his clenched fists. "You mean to tell me that those rumours of you dismantling Bonnie are true?! He was your friend, Monty, and my Boyfriend! You idolised him!" The Robot Bear roars wrathfully at what happened to his precious Bunny, and dear friend, as he becomes aggressive, ignoring the fact Monty told them that he was controlled by Vanny when it happened; just like the other Pizzaplex Bots. The other Animatronics, and Michael, prepare to move to stop GlamRock Freddy from doing something stupid and acting out in anger and ill aimed revenge, as a shocked and angered Monty prepares to defend himself from this reasonable but also undeserved assault. Someone else then jumps in that jolts everyone and makes them all turn to the source.
"Calm yourself, Freddy!" Lucian snaps calmly, his voice being overlapped/joined by a second Demonic one that's inimical, his tone and frosty expression making some of the Animatronics recoil, and the windows and lights crack. He exhales and composes himself as Freddy glances over his shoulder and the two lock eyes. "He told you what happened, he wasn't in control of his actions thanks to Glitchtrap's manipulations. It's like me blaming you for killing kids whilst under William's control, and I'm not, so don't you dare blame Monty for Bonnie's temporary demise. Bonnie can and will be saved thanks to his Memory, and Soul, Chips being recovered from his body before he was dumped behind Bonnie Bowl after the Remnant in his body was harvested. That's not even taking into account of the Transfer Systems in place. So please settle." The Cambion asserts sternly with compassion leaking through as he puts his hands on his hips, as while he understands why Freddy's angry, he shouldn't misplace that rage, but makes sure to remind the Bear that Bonnie isn't gone, and who the true enemy is.
Freddy wears a shamed and apologetic face as he looks between Lucian, the others, and then Monty. He signs sadly, with the Android Alligator exhaling in relief. He releases a choked sob. "You're correct, Lucian, I apologise. I'm sorry, Monty, I didn't mean to be blinded by my fury, and take it out on you, it's just difficult with everything that's happened. I know you wouldn't willingly hurt anyone or anything, you're a big softy at heart." The Robot GlamRock Bear utters remorsefully to his Creator, and then dear friend. He never intended on lashing out, but everything's been piling up and stressing him out.
"It's okay, Freddy, I'm sorry for what happened. That night haunted me for so long, I always vividly remember what happened, and I tried looking for him afterwards. But to no avail, which just made me more depressed." Monty answers sadly and quietly as he relaxes, before gazing at his hands with plagued eyes. He trashed his Green Room that was formerly Bonnie's because he never wanted to replace him, and he felt like he was insulting the Rabbit. The Alligator's suddenly embraced by the Bear, and remains frozen for a moment before he returns it. "I'm not a softy you know." Montgomery grumbles out with embarrassment as he continues embracing Freddy, who chuckles at his antics.
"Certainly looks it from here, Monty. Are you going to act on your dream of being a Quiz Master next?" Roxanne teases with a wide toothy grin on her muzzle, which gets broader when Monty mock glares at her, with the two Chicas, Moon, Lucian, and Michael chuckling. Her eyes narrow in thought before she turns to the Chairman. "Did you already know that Monty was forced to Decommission Bonnie?" The Machine Wolf inquires curiously, as he never mentioned it when discussing the two Ruin Timelines he visited and/or observed. She gets a nod and a shake of the hand, which saddens and confuses her, and the others.
"Yes, but not in the way you think. I found out through this Timeline's Dread Unit hours ago. ATF Monty didn't destroy ATF Bonnie in the Ruin Timeline I visited, rather it was a ATF Prototype GlamRock Freddy made by the Pizzaplex STAFF that went crazy while ATF Freddy was getting repaired; it was why ATF Monty in that same Timeline had issues with ATF Freddy, as he didn't know there was two Freddys. Yet in the Ruin Timeline I saw, where all of you but Freddy died, it was Monty who killed Bonnie due to envy, so I was unsure who it was in this Timeline until I spoke to Dread Unit after saving him." Lucian elaborates with a shake of the head before folding his arms and gesturing to Monty, and Freddy, with Dread Unit butting in and confirming the Cambion's words through the New Animatronic Network.
"You mentioned ATF Prototype GlamRock Freddy before, but only in relation to the Ruin Timeline you visited and not the one you saw. What is he?" GlamRock Freddy investigates as he pulls away from Monty and turns to face his Creator, and Superstar.
"That's because ATF Prototype GlamRock Freddy only existed as a separate entity in the Ruin Timeline I visited. He was made to eventually replace all the Pizzaplex Androids to cut back on cost for some reason. He had many Upgrades inspired from the other Robots, such as ATF Monty's Claws, ATF Chica's Voice Box, ATF Roxy's Eyes, ATF Bonnie's Hearing, ATF Foxy's Speed, ATF Ballora's Flexibility, ATF DJMM's Climbing, and ATF Moon/Sun's Flight. Then ATF Freddy in that Timeline was enhanced with ATF Monty's Claws, ATF Chica's Voice Box, and ATF Roxy's Eyes by ATF Gregory that had just been freed from ATF Glitchtrap's/Mimic1's control and was suffering from Amnesia, so the only Original Freddy is the one here. In the Bad Ruin Timeline, Freddy got the same Upgrades as his ATF self, but only his head escaped the Pizzaplex unscathed thanks to Gregory, while the damaged body, with 'Prototype' later written on its foot due to the Technicians not knowing why he had other people's components, remained in Fazer Blast." Lucian replies nonchalantly, his demeanour changing to one of annoyance when explaining why ATF Prototype GlamRock Freddy existed in the Ruin Timeline, before turning sad at what happened to ATF Freddy and the others in that same Timeline thanks to various people and factors, and that the current GlamRock Freddy is the only Original version left, before finishing off with a more glum tenor at the mention of the Bad Ruin Timeline. His words answering the unasked question of who shattered them in the Ruin Timelines, with Roxy wanting to tear ATF Gregory apart for trashing her, and her friends, but also praise him for being able to Upgrade ATF Freddy and survive their murderous selves who were under ATF Mimic1's control. Roxy will keep a close eye on Gregory if he ever shows his face again, and all of the Pizzaplex Automatons are upset at being replaced by a single Robot. "You'd be surprised how different the three Timelines are; ATF Vanessa in the Good Ruin Timeline was ATF William's Daughter, as he donated Sperm at some point, while ATF Cassie was ATF Michael's Adopted Daughter as he didn't die in Henry's Trap, was being a Hero as usual, and was looking after ATF Cassie for ATF Bonnie Bully after he vanished. All three Cassies are Bonnie Bully's Daughters, but she was unlucky in the Bad Ruin Timeline as she was abandoned after her Father Vanished. She was fine in the Good Ruin Timeline thanks to ATF Michael being there, and in this one because Bonnie Bully isn't dead yet." Lucian adds on absentmindedly as he rubs his forehead, trying to push aside the headache wanting to form because of how strange the Alternate Timelines are. With Michael just floored at the information; he's unsure how to feel about ATF Vanessa being his Half Sister in one Timeline, he's surprised that ATF Cassie is his Adopted Daughter and it makes him wonder who he Married instead of Clarie Schmidt as she didn't want to Adopt, and he growls at the mention of his old friend who wore the Bonnie Mask, Jeremy Fitzgerald. Michael then considers Amber, a female he was close to years ago, someone he would've Dated if he wasn't with Clarie.
"All this talk of Alternate Timelines fries my circuits. This Company's such a mess." Yr1 Chica announces with a disgruntled growl through the NAN with her voice coming out of Lucian's Gauntlet. She gets nods and vocal forms of agreement from the others, uneasy chuckles from Lolbit, Tangle, and Michael, and a shrug from Lucian who's tapping away at his Gauntlet Computer screen. She turns to the Cambion. "What's the plan, Luci?" The broken Android asks before gazing at the now abandoned Cupcake Bakery/Shop that once belonged to her before she was trashed. Yr1 Chica remembers what happened to her GlamRock Cupcake, and how it was lost to Trash-Land during one of her harrowing adventures.
"GlamRock Cupcake that's located in the Bakery. Afterwards we'll be travelling to the Endo Warehouse to save the Endoskeletons, and attempt to locate GlamRock Helpy." Lucian rejoinders calmly with determination, before ending with mild concern over GlamRock Helpy's status as he can track him due to one of his Locator Chips being online. While he knows his current position, which's the Endo Warehouse Security Office, GlamRock Helpy's health is Undetermined, but Low On Power. It's then Monty steps forward mightily.
"Then let's get going. We can't let any more of our Family remain in Glitchtrap's filthy clutches any longer, and then we can awaken the others." Monty proclaims with resolve as he walks up to Chica, Lucian, Michael, Moon, Roxanne, and Yr1 Chica with Freddy, with the others grinning at his attitude and agreeing with him. Only for someone else to speak up as the purple, steel pink magenta, and French violet lights ripple, one who alerts all of them, but also disturbs Lucian, Lolbit, Michael, and Tangle. That same someone shimmers into the Real World ahead of the group, with Roxy, and Lucian spinning around to face the newcomer, with the latter stepping in front and opening his arms protectively to shield the others; the Cambion's stern face dropping into one of heartbreak. The background Music also changes to one Lucian, Lolbit, Michael, and Tangle know well, one William created called Venta Black.
"So touching, and so pathetic. You're starting to get on my last nerves, Evan. Although I wonder where you're hiding the other Animatronics, I detected no Safe Room through the Pizzaplex's Power Consumption, or the Server Rooms. But no matter, the Warehouse underground, and the Research Labs in FFPP's Basement 2, will give me an unstoppable army of Toys all designed by me to be perfect. And because of my genius mind, and robotic Brain, I will ascend far above Henry, you, Michael, and the world; I will have no equal. I will outlive Life, and Death." Glitchtrap/William cuttingly and mockingly says, his voice overlapping a boisterous and sardonic female one who has a thick Mississippi accent, as he aims a MR6 Pistol, what Michael Afton designed before he perished, at Lucian's chest. A malicious grin stretching across the Robot's face.
Burned Rockstar Chica is an Animatronic Chicken that's primarily yellow in colour with blue cheeks, eyelids, and kneecaps, orange legs and feet, a large orange beak, and pinkish-magenta eyes. She has red lipstick, black eyebrows, nose holes on the beak, tufts of 'fur' sticking out from the top her head, and a white bib decorated with confetti and an explosion with text over the latter that reads 'LET'S ROCK!'. She has four fingers a thumb, and four toes. She's adorned with burns, and melted material, mixed in with some dirt, and slimy goo. She has tears on her chest and stomach, holes on her legs, and arms, while the left arm is missing its shell altogether, half of her beak's gone, the casing around her right hand's gone and exposes the blemished Endoskeleton. Burned Rockstar Chica has a large hole at the back of her head and shows the Endo, the dirty bib's damaged, and there's a heart shaped hole in her stomach/chest.
Glitchtrap/Rockstar Chica grins darkly at Lucian's expression. "What's wrong, sonny, don't you like this old bird's face? Didn't you miss me?" He questions his Reincarnated Son disdainfully as he fully uses Rockstar Chica's voice to further taunt Lucian, his finger twitching over the Handgun's trigger as he keeps a steady hold of it.
"Mum?" Lucian utters in horror over what's become of Rockstar Chica with a shake of the head, with the nearby GlamRocks either gasping, or looking on in shock, at his declaration, with Michael, and eventually Roxanne, snarling. He then shakes his head and growls. "No. You're not Rockstar Chica, just William hiding in another suit, behind others, to escape your fate, and to feel powerful. Because we all know you're a weak pathetic little bitch." The Cambion reminds himself and then asserts to the Sentient Virus with a dark expression as the red Nanotechnology and Cybernetics brighten and become sinister. Michael nods in agreement, as Roxy smirks with angry eyes. "Chica, Freddy, and Moon, I want you to go collect GlamRock Cupcake when I say 'now'." Lucian requests through the New Animatronic Network with his eyes and face giving nothing away to Glitchtrap, with the aforementioned Robots acknowledging him.
"The weak one here is you, Evan. You can't even fight by yourself, and instead need aid from weak Toys, and primitive AI. You're emotionally fragile too, you could've ignored them and come straight to me, instead of having empathy and caring for others. They're just Machines; unfeeling, unloving, and undeserving of such compassion. The fact you called one 'Mum' is sickening. And here you are, standing before them all, shielding them from their true future as my puppets." William/Glitchtrap/Rockstar Chica counters scathingly as he glares at Lucian with disgust, and later irritation for the Cambion's continued love and defence for Artificial Life. Just appalled at Lucian that he saw Rockstar Chica as his Mum.
Roxanne's eyes flash menacingly. "Monty, prepare to jump the Possessed burnt Chicken, and trash her. I'll help Luci." She demands through the NAN to the Alligator behind her on the left, who briefly sends her a surprised face through the NAN before shinning a protective yet vengeful smirk at the idea of smacking Glitchtrap around. The Wolf notices Rockstar Chica's twitching finger caressing the trigger.
"Yet you casually lusted after Ballora's tits, and praised the Funtime, and Partytime, Automatons you fashioned, you hypocrite. Organics and Synthetics are both Machines, just of different construction, and should be equals. You don't treat anything or anyone as colleagues, only obstacles for you to either destroy, dominate, or overcome through spite just to prove you're better; like you did to Edwin, all those Missing Children, your Victims, your Family, and Henry." Lucian sarcastically and cantankerously states as he braces himself to get shot by Burned Rockstar Chica, and then deal with her and the Virus controlling her corpse.
Burned Rockstar Chica's eyes glow a cruel royal purple as William snarls. "I'd say 'see you in Hell', Lucian, but only you will be going. There's no scenario in which I join you, or go by myself. Michael designed this weapon, I perfected and improved it." He comments balefully as he pointedly stares at the Cambion with a satisfied smirk.
"I already met the Real You in Hell, dumbass. You're a pathetic copy." Lucian insultingly proclaims with a dark smirk, which infuriates the William/Glitchtrap/Malhare controlled Burned Rockstar Chica who pulls the trigger. His words surprising Michael.
"Now, Monty!" Roxanne exclaims in alarm as she briskly moves and tackles the surprised Lucian to his left and to the ground to save him using her swift movement. The bullet does hit her right arm, obliterating most of the casing, and her right shoulder pauldron, with cracks forming on her forearm, and torso. She screams in pain and shock as she lands on the floor on top of her Creator.
"Reptile's rage!" Monty bellows as he leaps across the room and quickly gets in Burned Rockstar Chica's face.
"Oh." William/Glitchtrap utters through Burned Rockstar Chica just before Montgomery crashes into the Possessed Robot with the force of a high-speed car, lifts it up into the air, and then performs a swift and mean Spinebuster that breaks most of the remaining shell, dislocates and cracks the Endoskeleton, and disorientates the Rockstar Animatronic. Before William can even react, the Alligator Android delivers a volley of angry punches, slaps, and scratches, before pulling the aged and Virus controlled Automaton Chicken apart with a mighty roar.
"Roxy!" Lucian cries out at the frozen Wolf Robot on him as he gently moves around while keeping her steady, soon getting on a knee, and making her sit and rest her against him as he holds her up with his right arm. He looks up to Chica, Freddy, and Moon, who move to him to examine the fallen Roxanne. "Go get GlamRock Cupcake, I'll deal with Rox-Rox." The Chairman requests the three, leaving no room for argument, before turning his attention back to the hurting and shocked Animatronic Wolf, and then her damaged right arm. "Are you alright, Roxy?" Lucian asks as his Gauntlet analyses Roxanne's Systems thanks to having Wireless Access to her, but also he's mentally studying her through the Synaptic Link he has with her thanks to being physically connected. He runs his left hand along her wounds, and exposed right arm Endoskeleton, as Chica, Freddy, and Moon leave to get GlamRock Cupcake.
Roxanne gives Lucian a flat look before she blinks incredulously as she shudders in pain and shock. Although she does heat up thanks to being embraced by him. "I got shot." She retorts sarcastically. "Didn't think it hurt that much, being a Robot and all. Heard, and read, stories of Humans being shot, but it was worse than I expected. But at least it hit my arm instead of my face, hair, or tail." The Android Wolf continues with mild surprise, before expressing relief that the aforementioned locations, her pride and joy, weren't damaged. Her beauty's affected however, but she wanted to save Lucian, and prove herself. "I hope the MK3s have Anti-Pain, and Anti-Emotion, Settings in their Systems, like Data from the Star Trek: TNG Movies." Roxanne mutters mostly to herself, but also to her Creator, as she doesn't want to experience getting shot again. She has no idea how ATF Roxanne walked off being hit in the face by a Go-Kart.
Lucian shakes his head and chuckles wistfully, recalling that Data could deactivate his Emotion Chip in the First Contact Movie. "Never thought of adding such Settings as I wanted you all to be as Human as possible. But, if argued for, they could be added to the MK4 when that's designed." He admits with a thoughtful shrug and a deep frown, as he did try to make his Robots experience everything Organics can, even in the Concept Bodies like the current GlamRocks, so he never thought about having Off-Switches to certain things. Lucian smiles gratefully at Roxy. "Thank you for saving me, Rox-Rox." He states thankfully, although he could've survived the shot. He didn't want his precious person experiencing getting shot or hurt in such a way; not like how her ATF, and Bad Ruin Timeline, Counterparts did getting run over.
"Wasn't about to let that rotten Chicken cook you, Luci. You mean too much to me." Roxanne confesses warmly with determination as she moves her right hand over and rests it on Lucian's chest and feels his heartbeat as she gazes into his eyes. "I can still feel your Engine through my right limb, your incredible soft rhythmic heartbeat, meaning I wasn't that badly damaged. I'll just have to suffer being ugly for a while until we get the MK2 Bodies." The Robot Wolf utters absentmindedly as she indulges her inner Cardiophile by feeling her Creator's soothing but strong heartbeat through his chest via her hand, before lamenting the fact her beauty's spoiled, and that her chances of wooing Lucian with her looks have been ruined. She wants to weep and scream, but she must remain strong.
"You're not ugly, Roxy, you never will be either. You're the best; a gorgeous badass with a heart more brilliant than any Diamond. So never say such things, never shy away, and never hide." Lucian asserts firmly and warmly as he keeps gazing into the Android Wolf's amber eyes as he holds her hand that's over his heart, part of him remembering the scene of ATF Roxanne under that Forklift in the Ruin Timeline before she was Deactivated. He gets updates to his Scans in his mind thanks to the Synaptic Link, thereby missing Roxanne staring her their joined hands with wide eyes as she heats up more thanks to his compliments, and the fact they're holding hands. "And your Endo's fine. The Motion, Emotion, and Receptor, Systems were shocked, thanks to being shot, but they're undamaged. You'll feel a bit more vulnerable though, so be careful." The Cambion informs her with relief that she's fine, just her skin was broken, again missing the shy and would be radiantly blushing Robot Wolf mentally wrestle with herself before she nods to herself. Before Lucian can utter anything, he feels the firm, but strangely hot, lips of Roxanne Wolf clumsily landing on his own, which make his eyes widen as Roxy nervously and desperately closes her own as her ears flatten. With the watching Michael wearing a jaw dropped expression, Monty turning around and looking surprised, and Yr1 Chica gazing at the pair with intrigue and some hurt, while the returning Chica, Freddy, and Moon, stare at the scene with shock and irritation, amusement, and astonishment respectively. Lolbit, Tangle, and Mimic1 also watch the spectacle, the former two with a mixture of pride, envy, and jealousy.
Poor Roxanne's on the verge of overheating as she continues smooching Lucian, her Programming going haywire. Joy, pride, and embarrassment filling her being, with concern building when she notices her Creator not returning it. She nearly faints when he starts passionately kissing back, her ears shooting up as she whines and moans into the snog, and as he shifts his head slightly. A moment later she pulls back, her Cooling Systems working overtime to chill her as she opens her glowing eyes and stares at Lucian's lips, before meeting his bioluminescent ocular orbs. The Android Wolf nervously gulps. "So, um, since you already met my ATF self, did you already know of my feelings for you?" Roxy investigates curiously as she struggles to calm herself from the affectionate kiss, something hampered by their joined hands over his heart as he keeps her close; wondering if her Good Ruin Timeline Self confessed to Lucian when he visited that Alternate Timeline Future. She's sad that her Bad Ruin Timeline self didn't get the chance, and is half tempted to ask her Creator if he can build a Time Machine to go fix that. She gets a nod in response.
"Yes. I was aware of your feelings for me thanks to your Ruin Timeline Self. Same with Chica." Lucian answers calmly and fondly as he recalls how ATF Roxy, and ATF Chica, admitted their feelings to him, getting wide eyes and gasps of astonishment from Roxanne, and Chica. "ATF Roxy confessed to me while pinned under a Forklift, with her hand on my chest just like you're doing now, and she asked me to kiss her. Which I did, although it was awkward given she had no face, so I was kissing her Endoskeleton lips through the mask she wore, and that ATF Amelia, and ATF Cassie, watched the whole thing. ATF Chica confessed to me following ATF Mimic's defeat after speaking with ATF Roxy, but we kissed after she got her MK2 Body as I certainly wasn't planting my lips on her mould and rotten trash covered and filled body. You snogged me in your MK2 Body afterwards." The Cambion expands fondly yet casually as he remembers kissing the two Androids, and how strange it felt essentially smooching ATF Roxy's altered skull. He spots Chica's shocked expression, and Roxy's contemplative mien as she thinks things over. He turns to the Robot Chicken. "No offence." Lucian says, not wanting to offend GlamRock Chica Chicken.
"None taken. It's not healthy to put contaminated items on your lips. And given the state of ATF GlamRock Chica from what you've told us, who was held together by mouldy food, covered in stains, eating expired nourishments, and had a trash bag in her stomach, I don't blame you. I can't kiss you either because I'm full of trash, even if it's only from today; it's still nasty." Chica replies as she waves off his apology, although thankful for it, it's why she held off snogging him when she sat on him in the Fazcade, and grinding her crotch against his; she wants to be clean, and in her MK2 Body at least. Roxy's easily the most unsoiled Animatronic as she makes sure to thoroughly polish herself. She then grunts when GlamRock Cupcake tries fighting its way out of her grasp, but she keeps a good hold on it. Chica, Freddy, and Moon are thankful it has limited mobility; they cornered it in the Cupcake Bakery, in the room containing the Chica's Feeding Frenzy Arcade Machine, after chasing it around for a moment before grabbing it. "Sounds like I got a happy ending though if I got a kiss." The Robot Chicken proclaims cheerfully before it changes to worry; she's happy for her ATF Self, but hopes she's just as lucky.
GlamRock Cupcake is an Anthropomorphic Cupcake Machine that's Lion brown in colour with gold yellow-frosting that's adorned with a red star over the right eye, and blue triangles near the left eye. He has two large blue and red Heterochromia eyes, a blue, gold yellow, red-striped Birthday Candle with a vinyl candlelight, white buckteeth, a Penn red wrapper with black Tiger stripes, and black eyelids. He also has long flowing black hair/icing, and Penn red rimmed glasses that have sparkling black lenses.
Roxanne jealously glares at the struggling Chica for suggesting that she'll kiss Lucian later, then giving Yr1 Chica a similar stare. She doesn't want to share, but she knows the two Chicas like the Cambion, and she doesn't know if he found someone in Hell, or if he's with ATF Chica, and ATF Roxy. The Automaton Wolf decides to speak with the two Chicas, and see where they stand with Lucian, also ask the Cambion if he's already in a Relationship, and what happened to the ATF Robots. She's disturbed when Lucian starts moving.
"Come on, Roxy, let's get you up. We can't stay here forever, despite how comfortable it is. There's more people we've got to save, and bastards we must stop. Plus, we can get you lot in your MK2 Bodies quicker." Lucian soothingly announces as he starts standing up, his tone becoming more cautious and exhausted at the end as he focuses on why he's actually here. Business before pleasure as it were. Roxy doesn't want to separate herself from her Creator, but she does so reluctantly as they stand up, with Lucian supporting her. Once on their feet, the Chairman smiles at Roxanne before letting go and turning to face Chica, and GlamRock Cupcake in her hands; he then walks over and soon places a hand on the latter's head.
Michael, GlamRock Golden Freddy, makes his way over to the dismantled body of Burned Rockstar Chica, as Montgomery leaves the scene with a spring in his step towards Roxanne and teases her, something she grumbles at with embarrassment. He sighs then frowns sadly at the destroyed creature as he kneels besides her, with Lucian looking over with heartbreak as he deals with GlamRock Cupcake. "Another innocent Soul twisted and lost to William's evil. I wonder how many others locked in Freddy Fazbear's Pizza Place have been corrupted, killed, and used. I can't believe I failed to stop that scum twice! Now his echo has access to the Research Labs in Basement 2, providing they survived. But given the Messages we found whilst Luci was trapped in Trash-Land, FFPP has energy." Michael dejectedly says as he rests a hand on Rockstar Chica's broken face, before growling at his apparent failure to stop William multiple times and inability to save people, then becoming concerned when referring to the possibility that the FFPP Ruins have power. He hopes to Heaven, and Hell, that William/Glitchtrap wasn't able to salvage much from FFPP's Basement 2. The Possessed Automaton Bear feels Lucian walk over to him, and spots him kneel besides Burned Rockstar Chica, while hearing an enthusiastic GlamRock Chica comfort GlamRock Cupcake, and introducing him to Yr1 Chica.
Lucian caresses Rockstar Chica's face as he sheds some tears that land on the now dead Robot, his expression miserable and his eyes exhausted as he exhales, the others can see just how broken he is. He's happy he's saved another Android from William's vile clutches, although now the Virus' more violent and desperate; he's got a slight headache after saving GlamRock Cupcake, and installing the Ultimate Evolving AntiVirus. He agrees with Michael, as all the Machines gather around him, Michael, and Burned Rockstar Chica. "We must plan for all Animatronics left in Freddy Fazbear's Pizza Place to be under Glitchtrap's control. Things could get really messy if Glitchtrap, or Mimic, decide to build an Army using the Warehouse/Factory in Basement 3, although the former already has one in the form of the STAFF Nightmarionne Bots, and STAFF Vann Bots, so we must be careful." Lucian declares cautiously as he considers what Glitchtrap might have from FFPP, but also what he certainly has from the Pizzaplex given he's fully infected its Systems. He wishes things would get easier now, but he's not stupid to believe that. He then hugs Rockstar Chica.
"Doesn't Dread Unit have control over the Warehouse?" Sun questions from the Gauntlet Computer via the New Animatronic Network, wondering why the Pizzaplex's AI that's on their side isn't controlling the Pizzaplex. He's a bit confused, and the others start wondering the same thing; with Michael, Lucian, Lolbit, and Tangle being the exceptions.
"It's a mix. While he's safe and secure, he hasn't got the Pizzaplex Network Master any more. Dread Unit can access Systems, but can't maintain them for long due to Glitchtrap's strength, and the fact he's combating Glitchtrap, and Mimic1. Lolbit, and I, are helping when we can, but it's difficult when fighting an aggressive, creative, and intelligent foe, and another hyper lethal one that doesn't lose strength when it spreads, and can copy you. And of course we're stepping away from the fight to help free you lot, and protect you." Tangle answers aloud from the Gauntlet Computer with a tired grumble, hoping her words satiate their curiosity. She's making sure Glitchtrap can't access the Warehouse, the last thing anyone wants is William, or Mimic1, making an army.
"Goodbye, Mum." Lucian tearfully utters as he pulls back and kneels next to Burned Rockstar Chica's dead and broken body, the others watching on sadly as they watch their Creator say his final farewell to his Mum Figure, but also understand that they could've ended up like her if they weren't saved by Lucian. He closes Burned Rockstar Chica's eyes then reaches over for the MR6 Pistol; he checks the Ammo count, before attaching the Handgun to his hip magnetically as he stands up. "It's not my personal, or typical, firearms, and I only have so many shots with it, but it's good enough." The Fazbear Entertainment Chairman remarks grouchily before ending with a firm tone whilst wearing a cold smirk, his expression becoming thoughtful as he considers where and when to use this weapon. He wishes he had his weapons, but he left them at Home, and Summoning them will be difficult. Lucian then recalls the many Armouries across the Pizzaplex, and tries to recall where the nearest one is, while hoping Vanny/Vanessa hasn't cleared them out yet. Lolbit, could you please check the Armouries? The Cambion internally requests his precious person, getting a swift acknowledgement in response from the Funtime Fox AI who goes to do what he asks. His expression glum as he lost another Family Member.
"I remember you wanting to design guns, and swords, after being inspired by me. I imagine being in Hell make you create some so you could survive? And not even taking into account of your creativity, intelligence, improved Brain functions thanks to Cybernetics and being more evolved, and aid from Lolbit, and Tangle, helping you reach new heights in technology and research." Michael comments as he vividly recalls Lucian being impressed and inspired by his many Weapon Blueprints, but doesn't know if he followed through with them after he perished. But he's sure his Reincarnated Brother was forced into making firearms, and/or blades, after being sent to Hell. Lucian could advance Humanity a thousand years in a single year if he wanted to; Hell, Fazbear Entertainment's already over a hundred years ahead of everyone on Earth.
Lucian does a 50/50 motion with his hand as he begins pacing away from the dead Robot, and towards the Pizzaplex Machines as he walks alongside his Brother. "I continued designing, and eventually made, weapons after you died whilst making my own Company, more so when I… joined Fazbear Entertainment as I fashioned the GlamRocks, and the Pizzaplex. Of course I had help from Lolbit, and Tangle, with later input from Jangle, White Rabbit, Xangle, Red Bear, Partytime Helpy, Tutorial Unit, Dread Unit, Bidybab, Electrobab, Minireena, HandUnit, Bonnet, Helpy, Funtime Cupcake, Funtime Chica, Yenndo, and Music Man. But I was forced to make those weapons when I landed in Hell, with new ones being created as I was motivated by things I saw in Hell. Also took information from the two Ruin Timelines, and was inspired by some Sci-Fi. I used those weapons before and after becoming Overlord of Imp City, and Faz City that I founded, when employed by the Immediate Murder Professionals, and surviving the annual Exterminations." The Cambion enlightens as he stops in front of the Pizzaplex Automatons with a calm and proud expression as he regards them, mentally recalling all the incredible weapons he created whilst on Earth, and the ones he later made in Hell. He does have fond memories of his time in Hell, and later the IMP. The Pizzaplex Robots, and Michael, speculate about his time in Hell, while the two Chicas wonder what sort of foods exist there, Roxy's curious about Racing down there, Monty wonders if Golf exists there, and Michael can't wait to see what his Brother made. But all of them are blown away by Lucian making Faz City in Hell.
"You need to tell me about your time in Hell, what certain things mean, the hierarchy, and how different it is to our understanding of it. Being an Overlord sounds important, and boring. And you joined a murder organisation?" Michael requests of his Reincarnated Brother with enthusiasm as he wants to learn how different Hell actually is to how Human's view it, but he's curious about the whole Overlord thing, and he's surprised to learn Lucian was employed as an assassin. The Automatons are also curious about all those things, as they want to know what their Creator, and Crush/Lover in the case of some, was up to.
"Being an Overlord was akin to always being in a Gang War with other Overlords fighting over parts of Hell; it was bothersome, but I was good friends, or allies, with Alastor, Rosie, Velvette, and Zeezi, who're other Overlords. The only Ars Goetia I was chums with was Prince Stolas, who's a badass, and his Daughter, Octavia, the rest were snobby bitchy assholes. And the Seven Deadly Sins I was close with was Lucifer, and Bee-lzebub; the latter a female and also Baal." Lucian lazily retorts with a shake of the head as he recalls being an Overlord, and how busy he was because of it; it was worse than being multiple Mercenaries at once before all of those aliases were shown to be one person, resulting in him ditching them all and going by his actual name. He does speak fondly of Zeezi, and Bee-lzebub, which everyone notices, with Roxy, and the two Chicas, getting envious and jealous. Michael's astounded at how many famous figures Lucian was close with, as he knows of Stolas, Lucifer, and Beelzebub thanks to his research, but already he's shocked that the latter was a female, and also Baal. But most are taken aback at what being an Overlord entails, wonder how Lucian was able to live like that, and why he even became an assassin.
"So we're off to save the Endoskeletons now, and to locate GlamRock Helpy?" GlamRock Freddy asks strongly but kindly, wanting to move the topic away from Hell for the time being, as they can learn everything Lucian experienced later, or as they move.
Lucian nods with an uneasy chuckle. "Yes. I just hope GlamRock Helpy's alive. One of his Locator Chips are active, but his health's critical, and he's Low On Power. I have his last coordinates. I just wonder what happened to him." He articulates as he rubs his chin and speculates on what happened to GlamRock Helpy, he just hopes he's able to find him. If not, then at least his Memory would've been sent to his MK2 Body thanks to the Memory Transfer Systems. The Chairman shakes his head and walks towards the exit. "Let's go save the rest of our Family, kill Glitchtrap, stop Mimic, and then go see the Sunrise." Lucian declares confidently with determination as a broad smile stretches across his face, with Chica, Cupcake, Freddy, Michael/Golden Freddy, Moon, Monty, Roxanne, and Yr1 Chica cheering in person next to the Cambion as they rally around him and follow him, as the Caution Bots, DJMM, Little Music Men, Lolbit, STAFF Bots, Sun, and Tangle also shout with approval from the Gauntlet Computer via the NAN, or because they live inside Lucian. With the Pizzaplex natives, Michael, and even Lucian wanting to see the Sunrise, and go outside; for the Robots they haven't physically seen one since they arrived at the Pizzaplex nearly five years ago, Michael after he was trapped in FFPP for 12 years, and Lucian wanting to see a Sunrise from his own Timeline after being stuck in Hell for three years. The Cambion then goes to support Yr1 Chica after noticing her struggling as he mentally decides to deal with GlamRock Cupcake so Chica isn't carrying it, and will do what's needed before they head underground. Shame GlamRock Cupcake isn't in his MK2 Body. Lucian thinks as he leads the charge.
Another glorious Chapter done! Shouldn't have taken this long, but whatever. I need to stop being so hard on myself. This year's been incredible for FNaF Fans, holy shit. X'D Onwards to the next Chapter.
Done: 20/11/2023
