Chapter 4: The Dimensional Gathering

I watch as animatronics and people continue to walk through the rifts, I watch as Freddy moves the of table that was next to Springtrap's Control Panel and climbs on top the table. I then realize I accidentally left the knives and guns that I gave Mike and Sam out, Springtrap notices this as well. I quickly grab the knives and guns off the table and hand them to Springtrap, who quickly stuffs them in his suit, without anyone noticing. Freddy then starts to talk to the sea of animatronics and people crowding the first floor in Springtrap's Base.

"Alright everyone quiet down. Now, I know you all have questions on why you are here all will be explained." Freddy says in a calm tone. I nudge Springtrap to get his attention.

"I am so glad we expanded the base entirely," I whisper as I gesture to the very big crowd of animatronics and people.

"Same here," Springtrap whispers back as Freddy motions for me to join him and help him out. I sigh and climb onto the table as Freddy climbs down and joins Foxy, Bonnie, and Chica, who are standing behind me.

"Alright, everyone settles down. I know you are all confused about what the heck is going on here. I am afraid to tell you that a lot of the Original Animatronics have fallen prey to the enemy." I announce in a serious tone as all the animatronics and people start to murmur to each other in fear.

"The enemy, known as the Drawkills. Have recently awoken and they plan to take over every dimension." I say as I look around the fearful crowd.

"Don't worry though, the surviving Originals and I have a plan to fight these Drawkills, but we need everyone's cooperation," I say trying to calm down some of the panicking animatronics, everyone starts to murmur to each other agreeing this is the only way.

"For now until we have secure a base for you in your home dimensions, you will remain in the Original Dimension. There are conditions to this though, you all must follow our rules without question. The majority of this floor is off limits because this will be the Original's Quarters. All your quarters will be on the floors below us, but I warn you do not enter the Original's Quarters whatsoever, unless you have special permission given to you by an Original, and do not mess with anything that may seem of importance around the base because our gracious host as well as the remaining Originals will not like anyone snooping around their stuff." I say in a somewhat of a serious but, slightly humorous tone as I look around the crowd, again. I also think about how Springtrap would react if someone, other than an Original, messed with his stuff.

"One of the remaining Originals will show you to your quarters on one of the lower levels. Oh, and another important rule while you are here is DO NOT go up to the surface or leave this dimension until we say so." I explain.

"Why not?" someone in the crowd asks in a worried tone.

"Because you'll end up with the same fate as your friends. If the Drawkills capture and chip you, they will make you hunt down your friends that are still on our side and possibly hurt them severely. This will also force your friends that are still with us to possibly hurt you too, in self-defense. Now everyone go to your quarters to settle down and don't do anything to cause trouble, remember the consequences may be severe." I say as Bonnie, Freddy, Chica, and Foxy start to lead everyone down to the lower levels of the base until everyone was gone except one, whose presence I still sensed. Trap walks up to me as I jump off the table.

"Hey Noelle, since we have more people as well as animatronics, I think we need to go on a supply run." Trap says.

"Agreed and it would be good to stock up on some animatronic parts as well," I say as I follow Trap to one of the tunnels leading to the sewers. I then hear the person, who still has not left, call out.

"Springtrap?!" the person says in shock and confusion. Out of the corner of my eye, I see the person turn their left arm into a blaster cannon and start shooting at Springtrap. Springtrap's ear twitches and he looks over at what I assumed was a boy and starts to dodge the blaster cannon, Springtrap then teleports away to attack the boy when he least expects it.

He's faster than I remember and how did he disappear into thin air?, I hear the boy think to himself. Springtrap teleports in front of the boy and punches him in the stomach. The boy was then sent flying into the wall and then falls to the floor. The boy stands up and shakes off the damage Springtrap caused him.

"Okay. Now you've done it." I hear him say with a little anger in his voice as I hear his blaster reach full power. I watch as Springtrap was getting ready to either block or deflect his attack.

'Ok, I think that's enough' I think to myself as I teleport a bucket of water, with my magic, over the boy's head and I then dump the bucket of water on him. I hear what I assumed to his animatronic side, short circuits as he falls to the ground. I then use my powers to pin him onto the ground so he wouldn't be able to get up, he then starts to panic.

"Calm down, kid. I'm not going to kill you...yet." Springtrap says but mumbles out the last part.

"W-what d-did y-you d-do t-to m-me? W-why c-can't I-I m-move?" the boy asks angrily through his glitching voice as he struggles to get up.

"I think you glitched out his voice box," Springtrap says as he glances at me.

"He'll be fine. It'll clear up in a minute." I say with no worry in my voice at all.

"Remind me not to get on your bad side, kid. Oh, and to answer your question. I didn't do anything to you, she did." Springtrap says in a somewhat humorous tone as he points at me, as I cross my arms. I glare at the boy for attacking Springtrap.

"So let me guess you're from another dimension?" Springtrap asks as he crosses his arms.

"Why should I tell you?" the boy says with venom in his voice. I mentally sigh and look through his internal profile in my mind.

"Yes, he is. He's from the Animatronicgedden Dimension. He's a half animatronic, named Mexo. Mexo is the only survivor thanks to his arch nemesis Animatronicgedden Nightmare." I say in a monotone voice.

"What?! How do you know that?" Mexo asks in shock.

"Simple, but there is no way you would understand it. You can't even tell that this isn't Animatronicgedden Springtrap. You just attacked the Original Springtrap and you're very lucky that he's too busy with the current 'war' going on to deal with you. No wonder Animatronicgedden Nightmare despises you, you're not the sharpest tool in the shed, kid." I say with a hint of mockery in my voice.

"Seriously?" Mexo asks in disbelief.

"What?" I ask.

"There is no way a kid, like you, could have that much power. It makes no sense at all." He says with a hint of anger and disbelief.

Who is this girl and why does she have so much power? Maybe if I scanned her threat level I could understand it a bit more, I hear him think to himself. He then starts scanning my energy level, which I decide to show him about 1% of my power just to scare him. A scared yet surprised look appears on his face.

N-no way. She's on a rank of her own, but she's just a child! I hear him think to himself in shock.

"Let me guess. He believes you now?" Springtrap asks as he sees the look on Mexo's face.

"Yes. By the look on his face." I say as I release him from my magic, Mexo gets up and reverts his arm back to normal.

"Now then. You might want to apologize to the Original Springtrap before I dismantle you personally." I say as I give Mexo a death glare. Mexo looks at Springtrap and lowers his head.

"I'm sorry, Original Springtrap." Mexo apologizes. 'Hpfm' Springtrap says as we turn to leave.

"But answer me this. How can you be on a level of your own? Who are you and why did you helped me?" He asks as Springtrap and I stop in our tracks.

"What do you mean by why did I help you?" I ask with a bit of curiosity.

"You helped me save my friend and told me to trust Nightmare," Mexo says.

"Kid, I have not left the Original Dimension and by the time frame you're thinking of, it was not me that helped you," I say in a monotone voice.

"But it was your voice." He says. I then realize who Mexo was talking about.

"She must've used my voice to help him," I growl to myself aloud.

"She?" Mexo asks in confusion. Springtrap and I turn to leave again.

"Wait! Tell me more." Mexo pleads.

"Kid, if you want to know more, then how about we make a deal," I say in a serious tone as I stop and turn around to look at Mexo.

"Very well. What do you want?" Mexo asks.

"The deal is, I will tell you what you want to know, but you have to follow our orders without question, no matter what the task is. You also have to teach me how to travel through dimensional rifts and portals since you seem to know about dimensional travel. Also do not tell a soul about this deal. As I stated earlier I will then tell you information on what is going on more than what the others would know, but I will keep the Original's plans as well as mine classified. So do we have a deal, Mexo?" I ask.

"Yes," Mexo says.

"Then I will tell you some of this information when we get back," I say.

"What do you mean when you get back?" Mexo asks in confusion.

"Well, with more humans as well as some animatronics that can eat, we will need more food and supplies for the large amount of 'guests' we now have," I tell him.

"But we're underground shouldn't you head to the surface?" Mexo asks still confused.

"Look, kid, most of the Original Animatronics are souls of children, they wouldn't know what to get or what to look for in a store. I'm supposed to be an old man that should possibly be dead in society and nowadays people need ID to get most of the things we need, especially since they would question the people who are buying a bunch of animatronic parts. There is also the fact that we can't draw any attention to ourselves because we can't afford to get dismantled or burned down." Springtrap deadpans.

"So you're just going to steal from people?" Mexo asks.

"Yes," I reply.

"But stealing is wrong," Mexo says.

"We are all well aware of that, but it's this or we starve and the kids' bloodlust grows until it's something absolutely unstoppable and extremely dangerous for everyone that even comes near them whether it is a person or another animatronic," I say as Springtrap and I are about to leave.

"Oh, and the name's Noelle," I call over my shoulder glancing at Mexo before Springtrap and I head into the tunnel leading to the sewers.

Several minutes later, Springtrap and I were walking through the tunnels on our way to our first store.

"He sure is a pesky runt. Isn't he?" Springtrap comments.

"Agreed." I say.

"Noelle are you sure, you made the right choice making a deal with him?" Springtrap asks a little bit skeptical about make a deal with Mexo.

"Yes. Stop being an overprotective father, Trap." I say in a teasing manner.

"Ha-ha. Very funny just because I'm secretly your adoptive father doesn't mean I don't have the right not to worry. I already messed up once in life, this is pretty much my redo of what I was supposed to be, for Brandy. Anyways, how are you sure you can trust him?" Springtrap says still skeptical about the deal I made.

"Well, Shadow seems to trust him by helping him out a little and I could always use some ears on the lower levels as well," I tell him.

"So how are you going to pull this off?" Springtrap asks.

"Well, we work in the shadows and attack when it seems right," I say.

"But you know that the others won't agree to this if they know the Original Springtrap is leading the charge." Springtrap states.

"That's why we are using the other Originals as the face of the plan. None of them will know it is you, who is helping to direct the attacks, and plus the ones, who will really know what is going on is you and me." I explain.

"So we're using the other Originals as pawns?" Springtrap asks.

"Yes and no, but for my plans to work, we need to try to fool the Drawkills, make them think they always have the upper hand," I explain.

"What about, Mexo?" Springtrap asks, wondering what part Mexo will play in this war.

"Shadow says he might be of use. I know he has an important role in this 'war' since Shadow was helping him." I tell him.

"You are quite the evil mastermind." Springtrap compliments and pats my shoulder.

"Thanks. Learned from the best." I say as we stop in front of the mall's security system, which is located in the sewers for some odd reason. Springtrap disables the security system, so no one would catch us on the cameras. We then climb through the tunnel that leads a ladder, that leads into the men's bathroom on the first floor of the mall in front of one of the stalls.

"So, after this we hit the other stores to stock up on supplies?" Springtrap questions.

"Yep and let's just hope Mexo doesn't cause any more trouble," I say knowing somehow Mexo will get himself into trouble sooner or later.

"Yeah, if he messes with my stuff, I'll gut him," Springtrap says with a crazed glint in his eyes as he smiles like a madman. I laugh a little.

"I'm sure you will Trap," I say as Springtrap climbs the ladder first to make sure the mall's night watch wasn't anywhere near the men's bathroom on the first floor. I then start climbing up the ladder that leads into the mall, after Springtrap, to gather supplies for the new arrivals to the Original Dimension.
