Raina wandered about a bit before she actually managed to find her way into the main lobby area. This place was a lot bigger at night with no other people wandering about. (It also didn't help that her vision had gone blurry.) The men who'd dragged her off had at least thought some of this through, but clearly hadn't intended on her being able to fight her way out. Honestly, Raina wanted to laugh at everything that had happened, but that was probably the blood loss talking.
Finally, she stumbled into the stage room where her and Gregory had been eating not even the day before. She glanced up to the stage and noticed that the holograms of the animatronics were still on for some reason. Maintenance must've forgotten about them. Strange.
Shaking her head, she started to make her way towards the stairs that would lead to the second floor when she heard a startled yelp from the third tier. Her eyes narrowed. No one else but her and Gregory should be here. So that yelp had either been the last abductor, or her brother was in danger.
She growled slightly before picking her pace up a little, trying to ignore the stinging pain coming from her ribs. They must've gotten bruised from her last trip to the floor (the puncture to her midsection probably wasn't helping matters, either). As Raina got closer to the platform for the third floor, another yelp rang out, but this one was more panicked pain, whereas the last one had been a startled squeak.
Putting the pain of the gash in her side to the back of her mind, she raced forward, only to be met with a bloodchilling sight. She'd finally found her brother, but he was surrounded by the other Glam Rock animatronics. For some reason, this scene made her hair stand on end and her instincts go mad. Grunting, she moved forward in time to see the alligator who'd once helped her pin her brother against the glass barrier of the third floor.
Her eyes blew wide and the only thing she saw in that moment was the memory of her and the man who'd attacked her falling over the edge. It seemed that she'd made a noise of some kind, because the alligator slowly turned his massive head to look at her, Gregory's soft honey-like eyes catching hers. Monty's optics weren't the pastel magenta she'd come to know. They were an angry red.
Something seemed to register to the tiny child as he took note of what position the girl was putting herself into. He let out a shaky gasp and tried harder to get out of the animatronics grip, but Freddy wasn't responding to his calls, the bear most likely stuck in recharge. He saw a gleaming light enter the teens eyes and his own welled up with tears.
If Raina was going down, she'd bring this behemoth of a robot with her. She refused to let anything else happen to the already terrified boy. Even if it might cost her her life. (But, hey, that's what sisters did, right?) So, with one final look at the boy's soft honey eyes, she charges the gator.
The animatronic drops the kid and stands straight, not entirely taking in the fact that a very angry teen was running at him full speed. With a final breath to calm her fired up nerves, Raina jumps and grabs onto the giant animatronic, flinging her weight onto the gator. Looking back one more time, she catches sight of her brother being dragged away from the now broken banister by Freddy. A soft smile lights up her face, very briefly, before she's faced with reality.
Blinking away tears from her two toned eyes, Raina looks back down at the alligator under her and her eyes narrow. Suddenly, she notices a small panel on the back of his head, slightly open. Her gold and green eyes widen in realization. Someone had hacked the alligator, and most likely the others who were acting strangely.
She growls and just as they hit the ground, she slams the rest of her weight into Monty, the gator's massive head slamming against the hard concrete flooring. Raina yowls as her wounds are aggravated yet again and grabs onto her once again bleeding stomach. She glances down quickly before looking back at the behemoth just as fast. She had to move, who knows if that actually even did anything to the bot.
Scowling, she slowly starts to stand when she hears the familiar sound of his motors powering up. Raina lets out a sharp breath and forces herself to stand and at least tries to get into a defensive stance. She exhales again and grips her side harder, trying to staunch the flow. The wound was reopened and anything could make it worse, she might as well try and make sure it healed somewhat properly.
As she watches, Monty starts to stand as well, but something's… off. The gator is gently cradling his head in his huge hands and looks like he's in slight pain. However, Raina doesn't entirely buy it. Whoever reprogrammed him had to have had a precaution in case something like this happened. Monty lets out a low groan and opens his magenta optics. Raina's own two toned eyes widened slightly. His optics had been a bright red earlier, a sharp contrast to the now dull-looking magenta.
"Monty?" She questions softly, her voice strained against pain.
The gator startles, almost like he doesn't remember her being there. For some reason, the gator looks confused, and almost hurt. Raina glances at the animatronic before her gold and green eyes land on something on the floor beneath the giant. Whatever had been in his processors had clearly fallen out when she'd slammed the both of them into the first floor from the very top of the building.
The gator glances at her, his pastel optics taking in the sorry state the teen's in. His optics light up in concern. "Kid? What're you doing here? It's after hours, you should be home. Matter of fact, what happened? Why am I not in my Green Room?" The bassist questions, each one asked becoming slightly more frantic.
"And what happened to ya? Last I'd seen, you were leaving to find the boy. Did ya?"
Raina let out a slight gasp, laughing hysterically at something that wasn't even remotely funny. (She blamed it on exhaustion… And maybe the blood loss… again) She ran a shaky hand through her messed up and blood stained hair. She'd managed to save Gregory (which was her main goal) and in addition, had fixed Monty (well, if his state right now could even be considered fixed).
"Erm, those are somewhat complicated questions, mate. Maybe we can chat while we move? These wounds won't wrap themselves, after all. And you need a somewhat conscious answer." Raina replied, muttering the last bit to herself. She turned before she could even see the robot tilt his head, his hearing allowing him to catch what the girl had said.
Monty was worried. The girl looked like she was barely standing, yet still insisted on moving away from the main lobby. Why? Was there something out there trying to get her? But, that wouldn't make sense. None of them could hurt the guests, it was against their programming after all. But, then, how had the wobbling teen gotten so harshly injured?
Shaking his head, Monty walks just behind the girl and slumps to pick her up. Just in time too, her legs had been about to give out. She hisses slightly as his metal plates slide against some of her open cuts. Only… it didn't hurt as much as she'd assumed it would. It only hurt because she'd moved. What would happen if she-
Raina tries to get closer to the mammoth of an alligator and ends up putting her arms around his throat plates. Unconsciously, she nuzzles under his chin and manages to hike her legs up slightly, almost curving into the warmer metal of his chest plates. She felt the gator shift slightly, most likely confused as to why the girl was trying to get closer to the hard metal.
She let out a soft sigh, her taxed body relaxing ever so slightly against the alligator. Monty glanced down at the small human in his arms and suddenly came to a very real conclusion. He was getting attached to this girl. That shouldn't have even been possible. Sure, they're programming allowed them to make and have friends with humans, but he didn't think it was possible for them to grow an actual link with one.
Monty's programming was going wild, the girl in his arms throwing them for a loop. He shook his head slightly, trying to get his head out of the sky, but the teen just kept burying herself against him, making it harder to think clearly. What was happening to him? This shouldn't even be possible… should it?
As he made his way deeper into the Pizza Plex, his mind kept wandering to the sleeping girl in his arms. She was worn out, whatever had happened had taken its toll on her. His grip on her got subconsciously tighter when she moved, silently afraid that she'd fall if he let his grip become lax. Monty went towards the only true area that he knew had some form of medical equipment. The Day Care.
The attendant was always watching, just in case one of the smaller kids got hurt. Generally, when a kid was afraid or hurt, they were taken to Sunny and his Day Care, the sun-based bot being programmed with medical information and the softer ability to calm a child down the others just didn't seem to have. With any luck, Sunny would also be willing to help his unfortunate partner.
The gator got closer to the Daycare when he heard groaning coming from his new partner. He glanced down and saw in fear that her face had gotten even paler and had taken on a strange blue hue. Whatever had happened, it wasn't good and the teen was feeling the horrible effects. His eye ridges came together in concentration, his processors made up.
No matter what happened, he would make sure this kid lived, even if just to see the light of day again with her family. Even if it cost him everything in turn. He wouldn't let the rumors turn into truth, he wouldn't let his friends be affected by everything that Freddy and Chica had been through.
Fun Fact: I forgot to upload this so it's hella late! And that's totally my bad lol. I was supposed to get this in at like 3:30(afternoon), and it just didn't happen. Anyway, hoped y'all enjoyed this chapter, and again, sorry for making y'all wait longer than I had intended... See y'all next time. :)
