Darkness. So impenetrable, strange, but at the same time so mysterious. Bella has seen a lot in the Swallow Falls, but this darkness is the strangest thing in the world for her. No one knows what might be hiding in it or who. And everyone is afraid to find out. Suddenly they will awaken an ancient evil that can destroy the whole world.
- Nonsense... It's just ordinary darkness, and it won't do you any harm... - a gentle female voice was heard.
Bella wanted to open her eyes and look at the owner of the voice, but when she opened them, she saw...
- Pizzeria?! - Bella found herself speaking in a voice that was not her own. - What the hell is this?
The girl looked at her hands, but instead of hands, she saw fingerless ball pens. Just like JJ's!
- Am I in animatronic's body?! - Bella understood.
- Bella? It's you? - Toy Chica and Toy Bonnie ran up to her.
- Who are you?! - JJ panicked.
- It's us, Thomas and Agnes! - Toy Chica answers.
- It looks like we've been reborn in robot bodies! - Toy Bonnie understands.
- Oh, you're awake... Come with me. - Marionette flies up to the trio.
- Who are you?! - Agnes asks.
- It's me, Charlie. Follow me, I'll explain everything to you now. - Charlie insists.
13 hours 20 minutes
- So now we are big indestructible robots? - Thomas summed up.
- Sort of. - Charlie answers.
- Are you sure we will be reborn? - Bella asks incredulously.
- Absolutely. - Elizabeth answers confidently.
- Well, at least we're back together. - Agnes says, sitting next to Olivia.
13 hours 30 minutes
The newcomers quickly got used to the new place and even managed to see Clara and Sofia. They also assured that together they would defeat evil and be reborn. Only Bella still didn't believe it, even though she hid it from everyone.
- That guy knows about animatronics... Look, he connected the unused appendage to the paw, and now they are more or less in their place! - Helen praised the stranger.
- This guy could fix Mangle. - Sammy agrees.
- Flint. - Bella says with a detached look. - His name is Flint Lockwood.
The children turn to look at the girl. They didn't even notice her coming. They're all sitting on the table, including Bella, hugging her knees.
- Is he your friend? - Helen asks.
- Yes. - Bella says, looking somewhere into the void.
- He's probably an inventor. - Sammy suggests.
- Yes, he is. He invented a machine that turns water into food. It showered our city with food, but something went wrong, and the food began to drop in huge amounts, but we managed to turn off this machine. I won't tell you what happened next. There is no rebirth. - Bella answers.
- Rebirth exists! - Sammy is indignant.
- These are fairy tales and nothing more! Even I lived in the Swallow Falls and a lot of strange things happened there, but rebirth is definitely magic... - Bella snaps.
- For example? What was going on in your city? - Helen clarifies.
- Well, aliens came to us, food fell from the sky, we had talking monkeys, and we also have live food. - the girl listed it.
- And after that you don't believe in rebirth? Listen, Princess Sofia is a real Goddess, you're a ghost yourself, and actually — face it! Everything that happens shouldn't be reality, but this reality! This can only happen in fairy tales and movies, but no. In reality, everything exists. Even the monsters trapped in the Underground. - Helen says.
- Nothing is impossible. That's what my dad used to say. - Sam adds.
And Bella decides to rethink everything. Yes, everything that happens is just magic! And if such a thing exists, then why does such a miracle as rebirth not have the right to be a reality?
- Okay, you're right. - Bella smiles apologetically. - I'm sorry for behaving like that.
- Don't worry, you're new here, we'll tell you everything now! - Sammy smiles.
13 hours 40 minutes
- Hey, Thomas, Agnes, Bella! - Elizabeth runs up to the guys. - There's Brian starts his story. Are you coming?
- What's the story? - Thomas doesn't understand.
- Oh, right, you don't know. Take it, read it, it's really very interesting! - Elizabeth gives kids a notebook in which she wrote down Brian's entire story. - And I'll write it down in another.
A new notebook appears in the girl's hands, and she runs away.
February 16, 2017
Today, Brian came up with a reliable plan and wanted to implement it. It was a plan where Brian had to talk to this Roger. Yes, it sounds stupid and ridiculous, but this is the only way out. The brothers learned from the diary that Roger is talkative and if they want to talk to him, he will talk. This gave rise to Brian's plan. Jeremy, Ben and Casper were supposed to help him in it.
- Okay, what is required of us? - Casper asks, having approved his friend's plan.
- You must distract Professor Baldi by any means necessary. It doesn't matter which ones, the main thing is that he leaves the office. - Brian answers.
- Is it safe? - Ben was worried.
- Everything is under control. If something goes wrong, I'll just interrupt the ritual. - Jeremy answers.
- Okay, I'm convinced.
- Then let's get to work! - Brian says.
12 hours 30 minutes
Baldi is sitting in his office and checking the eighth grade works. Roger hasn't bothered him lately, and that's alarming. He usually goes quiet when he's planning something. But the man was already tired of fighting with him. He just wanted someone to help and rid him of this demon.
- Professor Baldi? - Casper and Ben look modestly into the office.
- Oh, yeah? Is something wrong, guys? - Baldi gets out of his thoughts.
- There are eighth graders fighting in the cafeteria. We need your help to stop them! - Casper says, and it's true, because the fight was provoked by none other than Ben.
- I'm coming! - Baldi perked up and ran with the boys to the dining room where the events were taking place.
At this time, Brian runs into the office, and Jeremy closes it and remains on guard. Brian takes a piece of chalk and quickly draws a pentagram on the blackboard. Then he lights one candle and places it on the teacher's desk. The boy begins to whisper the words that Casper suggested to him, so that Roger would definitely come to his call. A few minutes later, the room darkened, and a black silhouette of a man with white pupils appeared in front of the boy. The same as the teacher described him in his diary.
- Uh... Hello? - Brian didn't think about how he would start a conversation with a demon.
- Who are you? - Roger's voice was masculine and rough. He wasn't very happy about being called in.
- I'm Brian... And you're Roger, right? - Brian answers.
The demon laughs.
- Baldi called me Roger... But you can call me that if you want. So, why did you call me?
- I want to talk.
- Well, I like to talk. What did you want to talk about?
- Where has Russell gone?
The demon stared at the boy in silence, and Brian already regretted asking about Russell right away. It is obvious that this "human" is involved in the disappearance, but it is unlikely that he will answer where the guy is, and even more so...
- He's not far from us. He's very close. - Roger answers, and now the red-haired one is in a stupor.
- Where is he close?
- Do you have any more questions?
The demon was deliberately evading Russell's location and wasn't going to answer. So Brian moved on to the next step.
- Why did you decide to manipulate Professor Baldi? And what are you going to do?
The demon stood for a minute again, silently looking at Brian, and then decided to tell him something.
- I'll tell you something. In fact, I never planned to escape from the darkness.
- Darkness?
- Yes. Your stupid idea of heaven and hell is wrong. There is an afterlife in which everyone after death lives the same way as the living. But there are people who have committed such terrible and numerous acts that the afterlife cannot let them in. That's why darkness appeared. This is the place where these people end up, where they stay forever. And creatures like me live there. We were called the creatures of darkness. We are made up entirely of it. But people called us demons. And I felt good there. Until one day, an employee of Choco Fruits accidentally came to us.
Brian shuddered at the mention of the infamous factory. What does it have to do with it?
- I decided to take the chance and look at the world of the living. And you know what? I liked it! There were a lot of interesting things here, and most importantly — I can kill here and no one would suspect me! So I decided to break one of the amusement parks. It seems like it was a roller coaster.
Brian's throat was dry. A puzzle began to form in his head.
- "The Burnt Piece" roller coaster? - Brian said with difficulty.
- Yes, exactly! Actually, I was counting on that girl to die, but she was lucky and gave me only the energy of her severed arm. I'd like to find her and kill her.
- So, Mr. Wilson is not to blame for the malfunction of the attraction...
- No, he has nothing to do with it! I was just managing that employee against his will. I broke the ride at his hands. And now I want to destroy this world completely. But a little bit of everything. First, I will take over this school, kill everyone here, find that girl and kill her too, and then I will proceed to the next steps.
- W-Why are you telling me this? I can tell the others about it!
- They won't believe you. No one will believe you. They'll think you're crazy.
And he was right. However, Brian wanted to protect his friends and family.
- I won't let you carry out your plans! I'll come up with something, you'll see! - Brian replied confidently. He was possessed by some kind of courage, and the soul of Bravery made itself felt.
In response, the demon laughed.
- Try it. I have to go now...
- Wait! - Brian wanted to stop Roger, but he disappeared very quickly, and the darkness around him disappeared too. The mathematics room has returned to its former state.
12 hours 40 minutes
- Wow, so fast? - Jeremy was surprised when he saw Brian coming out of the office.
- It's like an eternity has passed... - Brian answers. - Did Professor Baldi come?
- No, he's with Ben, Casper and the eighth graders at the principal's. So how's it going? Did you find out something?
Brian wilted a little and looked around.
- I'll tell you everything at home. It's not safe to talk about it here.
Now he needs a new plan to save the world. However, what can he do?
20 hours 8 minutes
Spencer sits in the security guard's office and stares at the ceiling. There is nothing interesting there, he just thinks that he failed. He failed in his mission. He was supposed to help Thomas set him on the right path, but it turned out quite the opposite. Now Thomas and his friends were dead, and Spencer couldn't look them in the eye after that.
- What are you doing here? - boy heard Thomas's voice from behind and turned around.
- I'm sorry. - Spencer says softly.
- For what? - Thomas asks.
- I was supposed to help you, but in the end I ruined everything... Now you're dead too. - Spencer says.
- Spencer, you've fulfilled your mission. - Sofia appeared next to the boys.
- What? - Spencer doesn't understand.
- Actually, Thomas should have died, because we need him here. There, in the world of the living, he has nothing to do yet. - Sofia says. - As well as his friends. Don't worry, you will all be reborn, and the future will be much better than it could have been.
- That's right! I believe that we can all do it! - Thomas smiles. He also turns to Spencer, nodding at him. He forgave him, and Spencer felt a thousand times better. They are good friends, and it really matters.
