The group sat in silence for a moment, before Gregory spoke.

"No way do I want him back. He killed Freddy, Chica, and he kidnapped me. I don't even know the trouble you went through Roxy." Gregory said whilst turning towards Roxy.

"He's got a point. That alligator is a loose cannon. He's too dangerous to be kept around." Roxy agreed, crossing her arms. Roxy went to stand next to Gregory, as if the majority would win this decision.

"He may be dangerous, and he may be somewhat wild. But he's still our friend. I want to make the most of having him around. Besides, if we get rid of him, Bonnie would have been gone for nothing." Freddy sadly explained as he walked to stand opposite Roxanne and Gregory.

"I agree with Freddy." Chica told the group. "Monty is still a part of our band, and we should respect that. Whether we like it or not. Besides, if he does try anything to hurt us, it's a five against one." Chica told as she walked over to stand next to Freddy.

It was up to Cooper whether the alligator was coming back or not. After another brief moment of silence, the animatronics eventually all turned their heads his way. He felt pressured in an odd way, as if this decision would make or break their friendships/relationships.

"I think... We bring him back. But that's not because I want him back, it's because you guys are like my family to me, and I don't want to lose you."

"What?" Chica asked confused. The rest of the animatronics tilted their heads at Cooper, also confused.

"You don't want to lose us... But you also want to bring the alligator that killed and hurt us back?" Roxy questioned, her tone of voice increasing and becoming frustrated.

"Let me explain. If you guys go out there on-stage tomorrow missing a bandmate, and day shift have nothing to do with it, fingers are going to be pointed at me. When fingers are pointed, higher-ups will do some digging, and find out what happened last night, one way or another. When they see what happened, I'll be fired or at the very least warned, and maybe the FBI will get involved when they see those syringes and what's in them." He paused for a moment to catch some breath.

"Whereas we bring him back, and as irresponsible as it sounds, we sweep all of this under the rug and pretend it never happened. This is fazbear entertainment after all. Also, we can keep tabs on him, I do have security cameras, and as Chica said, it's five to one." Freddy and Chica agreed and started walking to the elevator.

Cooper walked towards the elevator to leave Fazerblast before he stopped abruptly.

"Hey, Roxy..." He hesitated for a moment. "Where am I going?" He asked, letting out a nervous chuckle after his sentence.

"Ugghhhh." She groaned in frustration before she led the group down to and past the blob, stumbling into the broken office she had visited before. They made their way to the workshop towards the end of the strange structure.

The five saw the shattered alligator lying on the floor, lifeless next to the dead, creepy white bunny. However, the broken corpse bunny was gone. Roxy didn't notice.

"Roxy... I didn't know you were capable of this... destruction." Freddy didn't know what the correct word to use at the end of that sentence was. He was impressed, but also slightly frightened of his wolf... Coworker.

In response, Roxy simply looked at him, slightly dead in her eyes. She didn't want to be down here, she didn't want to bring back the gator, she didn't know how he would respond either, would he be aggressive? Would Roxy have to kill him again? In front of all her friends? Show how violent and aggressive she truly was? She was afraid of that concept. Of being outcasted by the group, similar to what had happened to Monty. She was just glad it wasn't her. She felt selfish at that thought.

Roxy pulled out the second drawer in the drawer and found there were two syringes left. These were valuable. Would she really want to waste one on Monty?

"I'm not doing it." She said grumpily. "Someone else can."

"I'll do it." Freddy replied as he reached over and grabbed a syringe. "Where did you inject us to make it work?" Freddy asked whilst looking at Roxy.

"In one of your wires. Just don't break the needle." Roxy replied coldly, looking away from Freddy.

"Thank you." He replied. Freddy bent to his knees, looking at the mangled and disassembled alligator robot corpse in front of him, wondering if it would actually work. He looked at Monty's neck and found some exposed wires, right where Roxy had stabbed him. He injected the substance into his 'friend.'

The five gathered around Monty, as a miracle took place. They all watched as the metal and plastic slowly bent and stretched to create or fix anything that needed to be created or fixed really, the paint looked brand new. The hole in Monty's back began to mend and fix itself, and the metal around the hole in his chest began to stretch to create the perfect shape and colour. The five watched in awe, even Roxy.

There was no twitching, no seizures and no jolting up and heavy breathing this time, Monty simply just opened his eyes, and was met with the five looking over him, most of them with frowns on their faces.

"W-W-What happened?" Monty asked whilst he sat up and put an arm on his head. The others backed up slightly. Monty lied, he knew exactly what happened, but didn't want to face the consequences of his actions.

"You turned hostile and began attacking us." Freddy explained, hesitant to comfort him or come close. He said it in such a gentle and caring voice, it annoyed Roxanne.

She turned away to face the wall. She assumed Monty knew damn well what happened, if the old broken rabbit corpse wasn't lying. There was no mind control that makes you forget what happened she thought, it was only manipulation, which granted still wasn't good.

Another part of Roxy told her that perhaps Monty had just forgotten what happened because he had been destroyed, but that didn't make sense. Cooper, Chica and Freddy remembered. She thought he was lying. She wasn't about to speak up about it though.

"I don't remember." He replied, sounding as tired as a robot could. Freddy believed him.

"What did I do?" Monty asked. Freddy was about to speak up when Roxy interrupted.

"You betrayed us by kidnapping Gregory, killing Chica, killing Freddy, and almost killing me." Roxy told him angrily. Her voice was loud and full of emotion.

Monty looked at Chica and Gregory who looked perfectly fine as they stood away from him.

"They look fine to me." He said.

"Don't play dumb gator, you know what you did." Roxy said angrily. She began breathing heavily.

"Roxy, calm down." Cooper told her as he put a hand on her shoulder. Roxy responded by quickly hitting his arm off her shoulder and yelling at him.

"Don't touch me!" She pointed a finger at him and looked furious. Cooper held both his arms up in surrender and backed away slightly whilst shaking his head a little bit.

Roxy quickly snapped out of her rage seeing his face, and what she had done to him. She looked around and realised she was making a scene. She grew upset almost immediately and ran out of the workshop area, the 5 could hear her crying slightly as she ran off.

"What's wrong with her?" Monty asked, knowing full well.

Cooper backed up her story. "You did kill Chica you know. And you did kidnap Gregory. Whether you were in control of yourself or not... I don't know. But Roxy does have a right to be upset."

"Yeah, you did." Chica told him.

"I did kill and kidnap them? How? You're right here!" Monty grew frustrated.

Cooper sighed and pulled out the last syringe of remnant from the drawer.

"This stuff." He told Monty. "It brings things back from the dead."

"What? How?" He questioned.

"I don't know. Don't ask me. It just does."

"Well, sorry Chica, and Gregory if I really did hurt you in any way. I promise I would have never done anything like that to anyone intentionally. I don't know what came over me." You're a dirty liar. He thought to himself.

There was a slight silence in the air.

"Apology accepted." Chica said almost too happily. "I believe you when you say you weren't in control of yourself."

Gregory was slightly more hesitant to accept his apology, but eventually came around to it.

"I hope we can all still be f-friends." Monty stuttered on the last word accidentally.

"I think we all can forgive you. You clearly weren't yourself Monty. I will talk with Roxy later and we can work things out." Freddy told him whilst getting up to leave.

"Thank you guys." Monty said happily, since he had gotten away with his actions.

Everyone responded by looking at him and smiling, everyone apart from Cooper.


Roxy lay on her couch, crying into a pillow. You're stupid. Why would you do that? None of them believe you. You're a failure. You're not the best. They don't like you anymore. They don't trust you anymore. You can't control your emotions properly. You're going to hurt one of them one day. Nobody loves you. The thoughts in her head told her.

She tried to fight them for a couple of minutes, but they just kept on coming back stronger and stronger with less and less mercy. She started to drop her guard. She started to believe them. She felt hopeless. Alone. The same feeling she felt whilst she walked through the atrium earlier. Lonely.

Suddenly, she heard a knock at her door. A familiar one. The same three knocks. Knock. Knock. Knock. Some of the thoughts immediately left her head at the realisation of who was at her door.

"It's open." She called out through her pillow and tears. her voice was muffled. She heard the sliding door open. It was a harsh mechanical sound hard to miss.

"Roxy..." Cooper said softly to her.

"Go away. I might hurt you again." She told him, head still in her pillow. Voice still muffled.

"No you won't. I know you won't." He gently told her whilst slowly moving towards her.

"How do you know that? How do you know that I won't bite you if you come any closer? Huh?" She lifted her head off of her pillow to say that to him. She said it with an accusational tone.

"Because you love me. And you'd never do that to me on purpose." He told her, A smile emerging on his face. Roxy looked at him. Not sure what to say. Cooper sat next to her on the couch.

She hesitated. "Y-Yeah... And?" She replied, admitting her feelings yet still being defensive.

"Yeah, on purpose. I can't control myself, accidents are more than likely to happen." She told him, crying having somewhat ceased.

She shut her eyes before she felt something stroking her tail. It felt nice to her. She looked down to see Cooper playing with her fur, patting and stroking it. She said nothing and just enjoyed the sensation. She calmed down after around a minute.

"B-Before you, uh, died... I didn't get a chance to reply." She stated, she was nervous, yet she already knew that the guard loved her and that the guard knew she loved him. Cooper looked at her with wide eyes. "Soo..."

"I love you too Cooper."

The guard looked at her, she looked at him. They locked eyes. A smile grew on both their faces. It didn't take long for the two to embrace each other, in a seemingly never-ending hug. Eventually, they separated and Cooper continued to stroke her tail.


"None of the others believe me, do they?" She asked him.

"Believe what?" He replied.

"That Monty was lying. Do you believe me?"

"Of course. But yeah, the others seemed to have believed something took control of him. Why do you think he was lying Rox?"

"You, Freddy, Chica all regained your memories incredibly quick, Monty on the other hand just didn't at all. That corpse rabbit told me that he had not controlled their minds or made them forget anything, or had forced them to do anything. As strange as it sounds, I trusted him. But thinking back, his body wasn't there. He didn't even question how he was alive."

"That's odd. Perhaps he was actually alive, and had crawled away somewhere?"

"I don't know, but he wasn't there."

Cooper checked his watch. 5:48 am.

"I have to go soon." He told her gloomily.

"Before you go..." She replied, as she looked down nervously, before leaning in to kiss him. It was a surprise to Cooper, but a welcome one. He wrapped his arms around her head and held her close, closing his eyes and holding her lips against his own.

"I'll see you tomorrow." Cooper told Roxy with a smile, once they had finished. "Just remember, you're beautiful and the best." He told her whilst leaving her room.

Roxy lay on her couch, feeling admired. But this time it wasn't her convincing herself that she was, this time someone else had shown her that. She lay silently with a smile on her face, looking forward to tomorrow night before she got up to charge.


Cooper woke up in the afternoon. He checked his phone as usual and saw that no more children had gone missing.

Coincidence? I think not. He thought to himself.
