(Nat 20 Baby! Also, chapter 20! We pick things up from here! I know what I want to do next for THIS night scenario, and while I have a tangible idea on where it will lead to, I'm still unsure of how to execute it. Bear with me on that one. Anyway, enjoy!)
Gregory had suggested to his friends that they make their base of operations the Superstar Daycare. "Moon, if they ask you, Sunny or Eclipse if they see us, you need to play innocent and tell them you've been cleaning up the Daycare or something." Gregory explained to the robo-jester.
Moon nodded his head, "Understood. That said, Gregory, let me see your Fazwatch." Gregory had looked at him and held his Fazwatch up. Moon's fingertip folded showed a USB drive. He plugged the drive into the Fazwatch and unplugged it after a minute.
"Okay, check the Fazwatch now." Moon said, and Gregory looked at the screen. It showed a new little app. "It sends a distress signal to the Daycare Attendant when you click the app. It should give me your location if you're in trouble." Moon said, "Until then, be careful, little supernovas. I'll be in touch." Moon had disappeared into the dark shadows in the Pizzaplex.
"Come on. We got the badges to get in here." Gregory said, handing a security badge to both Cassie and Sammy. "Any ideas on where we should look for the games?" Sammy asked, Cassie looked like she was thinking about something. "I think we should check some of the arcades, maybe we can—"
"Hold on! I think I know where we can search next!" Cassie suggested, the boys looking back at her. "I think I saw something at the Salon in Roxy Raceway once, it looked like an arcade game. I always thought it was a weird place to put a game…" Cassie explained. "So, we're heading to Roxy Raceway? What about that sinkhole?" Sammy asked, "We should be fine as long as we don't go near it." Gregory assured his friend, "Sammy, are you sure you don't want to hide in the Daycare?" Gregory asked. "I wanna help. I know how to play games, so I can help." Sammy said, giving a simple answer. Cassie placed a hand on his shoulder, "But you don't have to. No one's asking you to." Cassie said, "Papa wanted to help, so I gotta help, too!" Sammy said, running ahead to the elevator with his mask on. "We gotta make sure he doesn't get himself killed." Gregory said, "Yeah." Cassie said, walking up to catch up with the younger boy.
(Meanwhile)
Bonnie looked through the games of the Fazcade to see if he could find one of the Princess Quest arcade machines. "Asher said that they moved one of them here…Where would it be…?" Bonnie looked through each game that the Fazcade offered.
"I-I'm looking…!" He heard Vanessa's voice coming from somewhere. Bonnie walked into one of the lodge areas while he watched the security guard look around.
She was alone once again, and she was acting like she was talking to someone else. "Don't tell me they hired a schizophrenic as a guard? Background checks are nonexistent to this company…" Bonnie thought to himself, quietly moving to the other side.
"I checked the back before! It's not there, I…" Vanessa shouted to it. "I-I'll check the Superstarcade then…I haven't checked there yet." Vanessa had said to herself, walking down the stairway. Bonnie waited to move again, and then got out of the lodge. "What is up with you, lady?" Bonnie had said to himself, "She already checked the machines in the back?" Bonnie asked, thinking about it. Asher said one of the machines would most likely be here, so going to the back may be worthwhile. It would be a great hiding spot to be for a while, too.
(With Asher)
Asher used now testing Monty's motor functions, since they were new. "Please press the buttons in the correct code." The automated voice had said, the green button lit up first. Monty's legs moved to each combination Asher had said. Asher was often stressed whenever he did this.
"Good job. Please exit the protective cylinder and complete the repair." The voice had said, Asher had taken off his goggles and walked out of the protective cylinder. "Okay. That's two repairs down. Now that leaves the voice box and jaw." Asher said, "Okay, I better send Freddy the next email."
(With Freddy)
Freddy had taken a seat in his green room, and waiting for Asher to give him an order to move. He could see a notification was sent to him. Freddy read the email as followed:
Freddy,
Listen, I have to keep this short. I want you to look around the atrium as part of a way of your test. That way we can see if you still act up or not.
— Asher.
Freddy received his first order. He could see that Asher was speaking in code while he wrote the email. "My first test." Freddy had said, keeping to himself. "He is asking me to search around the atrium for anything out of place." He thought to himself. He walked out of his room and was ready to figure out what to do.
He then went to see if Roxy and Chica were in their rooms, and Roxy looked like she was putting on makeup. "Your lips are beautiful and perfect! Your hair is beautiful, and your tail has been brush perfectly! You are the BEST! …Thank you. I am the best. I'm number ONE!" Roxy said, giving herself a pep talk. Freddy could see that her pep talk wasn't the normal one he was used to. Roxy's voice sounded more flat and empty, like while encouraging herself, she wasn't herself at all.
Freddy watched as Chica looked around in her room for pizza, she had thrown up some trash outside her room.
Freddy walked back and did his "test". The robo-bear looked upset. "I will help you, my friends. We will find a way to stop it…" Freddy said, not realizing that his eyes had lit a bit of purple while he was walking off.
(Back with the kids)
Gregory, Sammy and Cassie decided they would make their way to Roxy Raceway, and were currently waiting on the elevator. "Cassie, stay close. Me and Sammy will be able to ward off the bots if they come close." Gregory advised his friend. "Excuse me, I'm not about to say that Sammy is gonna be the one to protect me." Cassie said, giving a disapproving look. "What, you're saying I can't be a good knight or hero?" Sammy asked. "Not what I meant, but…"
"I'm not that younger than you! I'm 7 now!" Sammy said, "You can't even tie your shoes!" Cassie argued back, "You don't tie your hair like that! Uncle does it for you!" Sammy and Cassie started fighting, like true siblings. Pushing their hands into their faces, and pushing each other around. "Guys, let's focus. The elevator's opening." Gregory said, and the two immediately fell back in line with their goal.
The elevator door opened and Gregory looked around, "No Map-Bot?" Sammy asked. "We're clear on that…But I see Vanessa, we gotta be careful." Gregory said.
"Moon, can you make your way into the atrium? Stay above and stay out of sight, though." Gregory asked, quietly. "On my way, supernova." Moon had said over the Fazwatch.
"Come on, it should be clear." Gregory said, giving his friends the chance to walk through the atrium. The three kids walked around quietly, making sure their steps didn't alarm Vanessa.
Sammy was feeling his heart pound once again, the tremors from the night before had come back to him, but he was gonna be brave. Papa was brave and so was Gregory. Sammy was gonna be brave here, too.
Cassie looked over at where they were going, "Guys…I think I see Freddy up ahead." Gregory stopped looking at Vanessa and looked over at Freddy. "Freddy!" Gregory whispered, accidentally bumping into a nearby horse kiddie ride.
Freddy had looked behind him and saw…Gregory and Sammy?! And someone else was with them this time. He ran toward them, "Gregory? Sammy?" Freddy asked, speechless as to why they were here. Gregory had hugged his dad figure happily and crying a few tears. "I'm glad you're okay, Dad…" Gregory said. "Dad?" Cassie muttered under her breath. "Of course I am okay, superstar. But—" Freddy and the kids had heard footsteps.
"Someone is coming, you must hide!" Freddy said, pushing the kids into a nearby Photo Booth. Freddy returned to the kiddie ride. "Freddy? Was it you who made that noise?" Vanessa had asked.
"Yes, it was I, Officer Vanessa." Freddy had lied once again, "I apologize. I had bumped into the kiddie ride by mistake." Freddy explained. "What are you doing here anyway? Were you given permission to walk around?" Vanessa asked, still suspicious of this. "Yes I was. Mr. Asher has requested I go and walk through the atrium before returning to him." Freddy explained. "Very well. I'll just ask Asher myself. If I find out you're lying, I will send you to the scrap heap." Vanessa said, walking back to the elevator.
"I have never seen her so accusing before." Freddy had said, noting that she seemed…off. He waited until Vanessa had shut the elevator door.
"She is gone. You can come out now, superstars." Freddy said, watching the three of them get out of the Photo Booth.
"Thanks for covering for us, Freddy." Cassie said to him. "Wait…Cassie?! You're here as well?" Freddy asked, recognizing the girl.
"Uncle Freddy!" Sammy said, hugging his robotic uncle, happily. Freddy had hugged back just like with Gregory. "While I am happy to see you, Sammy, what on earth are you doing here?" Freddy asked, patting the back of his nephew. "We came to help find the arcade games to stop that Glitchtrap!" Sammy explained. "Asher brought you all here as well?" Freddy asked. Gregory had looked to his side in shame. "Gregory…" Freddy had stood up and folded his arms in disappointment. "Look, I needed to know you were okay and that we could—"
"Gregory, I told you to not return here. You deliberately went against my wishes." Freddy scolded him, now Sammy sees why Gregory was calling him "Dad." "So, Asher does not know you are here? How did you get here?" Freddy asked. "I…drove…here…?" Gregory said, "Moon was with us, so it wasn't a big deal!" Gregory said. "Not a big deal? Gregory, you are NOT legally allowed to drive! You put yourself, Cassie and Sammy in danger!" Freddy continued with the scolding. "Moon was with us. He's…technically meant to be an adult?" Gregory asked. "Do not disregard the main aspect of this debacle, Gregory. You disobeyed me, superstar." Freddy knelt down and placed a hand on Gregory's shoulder. Gregory looked upset, "I'm sorry…I didn't mean to…I just…wanted to help. That's what all three of us wanted to do." Gregory had said. "I know, superstar. I AM happy to see you again, but we have more pressing matters. I must notify Asher that you are here." Freddy said.
"I have to do a quick test walk around the atrium. I want you to stay close." Freddy had told the kids. "But we have an idea on where one of the machines are." Cassie explained. "You do?" Freddy asked. "Yeah, we're heading to the raceway." Sammy explained to his uncle, "Moon's keeping watch from the shadows." Freddy kept looking confused whenever they talk about Moon. Gregory sighed and tapped the button on his Fazwatch. "You rang?" Moon said, sitting on top of the Photo Booth. "Oh, hi Freddy." Moon said, waving at him. Freddy saw that Moon's eye was back to normal. "You're back to normal, aren't you, Moon?" Freddy had asked. "Indeed. Now, you said we'd be going to Roxy Raceway?" Moon asked, "Moon will watch us in there. You keep looking around for the other game." Gregory said, "I will accompany you. It is better that we stay together." Freddy said, folding his arms. Gregory would never forget never to make Freddy mad.
(Meanwhile)
No audio had played on the cameras, but she could see it. Freddy WAS involved, and now it looks like more people got involved. Asher's daughter was here, and that anomaly child Sammy. Moon seemed to be free, as well. "So you have teammates to play the game now, do you?" She put on the mask, voice now modulated when she spoke. "I have my own team, too, Gregory." Vanny had said, eyes piercing with red lights. She had a new goal. A new game. Catch the brats meddling with her work.
(Okay, I finished this! I turned 22 yesterday! Woo woo! I gotta say, I've been making good time to write up a few things and I applied for Lone Star earlier in October. Anyways, we have begun the second night, and we're looking for the machines completely. Vanny is on the prowl. Okay, so I watched the FunNaff's interview with Steel Wool, and they honestly had good questions and good answers. Still, it's clear that Security Breach's story suffered.
It also doesn't help that Scott was cryptic about what to do with the plot with what time they had left. Still, I honestly think scrapping Glitchtrap and Vanny as our future antagonists almost IMMEDIATELY makes everything worse. We'll definitely see more of the new cast now, but in my opinion, I'm not hoping for the FNAF equivalent of Neo Metal Sonic's identity crisis to be the main villain. Anyways, stay strong and awesome!)
Psalm 116:1-4KJV:
1.I love the LORD,
Because he hath heard my voice and my supplications.
2.Because he hath inclined his ear unto me, Therefore will I call upon him as long as I live. 3.The sorrows of death compassed me, And the pains of hell gat hold upon me: I found trouble and sorrow. 4.Then called I upon the name of the LORD;
O LORD, I beseech thee, deliver my soul.
