Welcome to the final chapter and epilogue of Ruin DLC Arc! Enjoy!

Lash, Embrick, Foxy, Freddy and Eclipse were walking down the quiet neighborhood streets of Northridge, California on a quiet night after leaving the ruined, abandoned Pizzaplex. Lash walks alongside his younger step brother, still shaken from the experience.

Embrick: Lash, I'm so sorry about the thing tricking you coming in there.

Lash: Hey, it's not your fault. That thing did a hell of a job tricking me. I can't believe it mimicked your voice and appearance so well. I should've known something was off.

Embrick: Yeah, I really didn't know that thing. He really stuck there for a long time.

Freddy: Yeah, Embrick calls me that you're in danger, so I'm going with him to save you.

Lash: smiles Thank you, Freddy. Thank you, Embrick.

Eclipse: confused Thing? What thing you guys talking about?

Lash glances at Freddy, then turns his attention to Eclipse, realizing he hasn't been filled in on the whole situation.

Lash: It's… it's a long story, Eclipse. There's something - or I guess, someone? - that was trapped underneath the Pizzaplex for a really long time. It somehow got loose and tried to fool me by pretending to be Embrick.

Foxy: The endo somehow mimics Embrick's voice. It probably did that to other people too some time ago.

Eclipse: The endo is really...different from the others...

Embrick: Well there's other endos that were different too like the ones who just only move when people aren't looking.

Lash listens as Foxy and Eclipse discuss the endo and its capabilities. He looks over at Embrick, still feeling a mixture of relief and guilt for falling for the deception.

Lash: Wait, so there are other dangerous endos out there besides that one?

Embrick: Yeah...well...we don't know. I think most dangerous endos suffered from glitches and bugs.

Eclipse: So, what now? The Pizzaplex was destroyed.

Freddy: Well, you see. Lash's father owns many Mega Pizzaplexes. You and Foxy are perfect animatronics for my Pizzaplex.

Foxy: You know, what? Yeah! We should join.

Eclipse: Yes, the children will love us!

Embrick: Yeah! That'll be a great idea!

Lash: I think that's a great idea! My dad's been looking for animatronics to join his other Mega Pizzaplexes. And you guys are definitely perfect for the job. The children will absolutely love you.

Embrick: Foxy, I hope you and Eclipse won't get corrupted and control again.

Lash raises an eyebrow at Foxy's statement.

Lash: Corrupted? What do you mean?

Embrick: You see, a few weeks ago on July 25, Foxy, Monty and Chica were corrupted by the boy in white mask and in the maid dress. Luckily, Freddy's the only one wasn't corrupted.

Lash's eyes widen in surprise as he hears the bizarre tale.

Lash: Wait, what the... A boy in a white mask and a maid dress? *gasps and whispers* Emolly... *normal voice* Sounds like something out of a movie. And he corrupted Foxy and the others? How?

Embrick: We don't know. The guy probably hacked them.

Lash: Oh God...

Embrick and Lash went on their separate ways with the animatronics.

Embrick: Foxy, thanks for saving my st...my brother.

Foxy: No problems, lad.

Eclipse: I hope you guys visit our new Mega Pizzaplex.

Freddy: You can come visit anytime.

Lash: Thanks, guys. I'll definitely be visiting the new Mega Pizzaplex. Take care, and keep out of trouble!

Freddy: We will keep out, superstars.

We went home and Freddy, Foxy and Eclipse headed to the new Pizzaplex. Me and Lash walk home. I check the time on my phone. It's midnight.

Embrick: Oh shit! It's midnight!

Lash realizes the time, his eyes widening.

Lash: Midnight? Oh crap, our parents are going to kill us! We totally lost track of time.

Embrick: Yeah...we're going to be in bigger trouble thanks to that damn shitty endo!

Lash nods in agreement, a mix of frustration and dread washing over him. He knows their parents are going to be furious.

Lash: You're right, that damn endo really messed us up. But hopefully, we can explain what happened and they'll understand. Let's just hurry home and face the music.

Embrick: Yeah...

When Lash and Embrick arrived at home, they noticed our parents aren't home.

Lash: What the...? That's weird. They're not here. Where could they be?

Embrick saw the note on the coffee table.

Embrick: There's a note. It saids my mom was busy doing a fashion show for the whole night and your dad was busy doing a gala party in the Mega Pizzaplex for the whole night as well. And they already made dinner for us.

Lash reads the note, his face scrunching up in confusion.

A fashion show and a gala party? Geez, our parents are really busy tonight. But hey, at least they left us dinner before taking off.

Embrick: smiles at Lash Yeah.

We both eat roadrunner karaage and napolitan noodles, still thinking about the endoskeleton. After dinner, we went to our bedrooms, tired because of what happened earlier.

Lash: Man, what a day. I'm beat. I might just pass out as soon as my head hits the pillow.

Lash goes on his phone, watching YouTube before going to bed. Lash's eyes widen as he watches the video on his phone. He can't believe someone managed to record their fight from Friday. He keeps watching, feeling a mix of disbelief and annoyance. Who would even record them fighting and upload it?

Lash reads the title said, "Little Kid Fights Big Teen Bully". Lash's expression turns to embarrassment as he reads the title of the video. It's bad enough that the video exists, but the title is downright humiliating. He can only imagine what people are saying in the comments, or how much worse this will get. He decides to keep watching, trying to prepare himself for the damage this could do.

Episode 17, Ruin Arc Epilogue ends.

Hey everyone. I hope you enjoy the last chapter/epilogue Ruin DLC Arc. Lash and Embrick arrive home after saying goodbye to Freddy, Foxy and Eclipse. The two step brothers were at home safe. Stay tuned for Episode 18! :)
