Several stores later, Trap and I were walking back through the tunnels, we open the hidden door only to find Freddy, Bonnie, Chica, and Foxy crowding around something. We walk up to the small crowd and see and unconscious Mexo and a young girl, who was younger than me.
"Let me guess you just found him like this?" I ask in annoyance as I look at the unconscious people on the floor.
"Not exactly these two fell from the ceiling," Chica says as she points up to the ceiling.
"Can you guys all do me a favor and leave the room for just 5 minutes. I need to deal with this." I ask in a sweet tone, the four Main Originals nod and then leave.
"Trap, can you do me a favor and please move the girl a few feet away, I need to wake up Mexo," I ask in an annoyed tone as lightning forms in my hands. Springtrap picks up the girl and places her several feet away from Mexo. I then place my hand on Mexo's animatronic arm and shock him. He wakes up and looks around bewildered.
"Who? What? When? Why? How?" He asks in confusion. I stand up and cross my arms and glare down at him. Springtrap sighs and shakes his head.
"I tried to warn you, kid." he says in an 'I told you so' tone. Mexo looks at me and his eyes widen.
"Care to explain why you almost compromised our only base?!" I yell at him as the four Main Originals walk back into the room.
"Umm….well this voice started talking to me after you two left, it was a different voice it wasn't like the voice I heard from before though and this new voice teleported me up to the surface. I was about to look around, when I heard crying I followed it and I found her." Mexo explains nervously and points to the unconscious girl on the floor next to Springtrap.
"Then, we ran into some Drawkills and this shadow appeared and here we are." Mexo finishes explaining, the other Originals, except for Springtrap, look at Mexo like he was crazy. I sigh in annoyance, I turn to look at the little girl who is starting to wake up. I then notice that Shadow was on the floor, in her Normal Form, near the girl.
"Plantakina cromi hikonkia (The girl with the deadly red eye). What are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be with your sisters." Shadow asks the girl using my voice. I notice Mexo look at me and then glance at Shadow, who was now on the floor right next to me since she's technically my shadow, and I mean literally. He looks at me with a confused look on his face.
"What did you just call her?" Mexo asks in confusion.
"Plantakina cromi hikonkia. The girl with the deadly red eye." I translate for him.
"This should be interesting. Who is she and what dimension is she from?" Springtrap says in a slightly interested tone.
"Animatronicgedden Dimension, though I doubt many remember her or her sisters. Her name, I believe, is JoKo." I say.
"Can't you see it?" Mexo asks.
"See what?" I ask.
'He's talking about me.' Shadow says in our mind.
"Can't you see the shadow that's near you?" He asks again.
"What shadow all I see is my shadow," I say as I look around, pretending not to notice Shadow. Mexo looks at me in confusion, about why can't I see the 'shadow' on the floor near me, which I can see the shadow.
"Anyway back to the topic at hand. What are you doing here JoKo?" I ask, getting back on topic. JoKo doesn't respond and looked like she was still trying to figure out how she got to the Original Dimension from the Animatronicgedden Dimension's Void. I notice Mexo stare at me again out of the corner of my eye.
"Okay. Enough wasting time." Mexo says suddenly as he stands up. The Four Main Originals look at him, like he lost it, and Springtrap just gives Mexo a blank stare.
"I need to speak with Noelle, alone. Okay?" He says as he gestures everyone to leave the room.
"Aye lad, ye don't be tellin' us what ta do. Ye aren't our Captain'." Foxy growls.
"Yeah," Chica says.
"Calm down, guys. I will talk to you in private, Mexo. The rest of you may return to your duties and please keep the others in line." I tell everyone.
"Ok, Noelle, but if you dare try something you'll be dealing with me." Bonnie threatens and glares at Mexo before she leaves with Foxy, and Chica trailing behind her.
"Yeah, we don't trust you whatsoever, Neko," Freddy says calling Mexo, Neko instead of his real name, as he follows the others as well. I snicker a bit at the comment.
"Remember, you do something to any of us. You'll have to deal with the wrath of all the Originals. Don't do anything I wouldn't do, kid." Springtrap says as he heads elsewhere.
Meanwhile, {Purple Guy, do me a favor and find out where Vanessa lives} I ask him in our shared mind.
{Are you sure about this? HE might still be lurking around.} Purple Guy says.
{I know but, I gave her our word} I say. Purple Guy sighs in annoyance.
{Fine.} Purple Guy says before he disappears to find where Vanessa Whitley lives.
{I am glad you're doing something nice for a change, Vincent} Springbonnie says.
{Shut your trap, Springbonnie} I snarl in our shared mind as I keep an eye on Freddy.
I watch as Springtrap leaves to go to his quarters.
"Oh, and JoKo if you follow the others they will show you to your quarters. I will be stopping by later to talk to you." I say as JoKo gets up and follows the Four Main Originals. Original Freddy makes sure JoKo was still following the others, then hides around the corner. He decides to disobey my orders and listens in to our conversation. What he doesn't know was that Springtrap was keeping an eye on him as well as keeping an eye on me. Mexo scans the area once and then stares at me blankly.
"Alright….I'll tell you about my teleportation and rift travels, but, before we do that. I must tell you something important." Mexo says.
"Alright then, what is it?" I ask with interest. I then dim the lights to make it look like a police interrogation room. Shadow then makes a table and two chairs appear, in between us, with one light shining on the table. Mexo and I sit at the table, I notice that he sees Shadow but, doesn't ask about her.
"I've recently received an important message before I came to the Original Dimension, the sender was unknown but, I happened to find out that the Drawkills will not be the only thing that we need to worry about." Mexo says in a serious manner.
"Oh really? I know these animatronics, Mexo. What cou-" I start to say as I lean back in my chair a bit but, Mexo interrupts me.
"No, you don't! You don't know a thing about any of them! You don't know the threat that we're going to face! This threat is worse than the Drawkills!" Mexo yells as he starts to tear up.
"And I fear this threat and you should too. They are the real reason I'm alone. They are the reason that I'm the only survivor and the real reason on why I came here is because they took 'her' from me!" He yells as tears run down his face, Mexo wipes away his tears.
"The truth about why I fight Nightmare is because it pleases them. To them this whole thing, it's a game and I already know who you are, Noelle. I've heard about you in their stories about you." Mexo says.
"Oh, really so tell me about these stories, Mexo, I would love to see why you think I don't know a thing about the animatronics," I say in a defiant tone as I cross my arms and look Mexo dead in the eyes.
Mexo soon tells the stories and legends that have been told about 'me' in his dimension.
"Yeah, um…..hate to break it to ya kid, but that isn't me in those stories, Mexo," I say in a bored tone.
"But it's your name and they act just like you do, so it has to be you." He says in confusion.
"I can't say much til the time is right, but that was another person, who came before me. Cause Mexo I'm just a kid. They must have found out my name and confused it with the person, who came before me. Their name started with an 'N'." I say as I lean forward a bit with my arms still crossed against my chest. I notice that he brushes off the comment thinking I'm just denying the truth when it's really him denying the truth. Mexo then starts talking about the animatronic threats.
"I know that all the Original Versions of the Animatronics are here in this Dimension, but I've scanned the whole Dimension and sensed everything in this whole Dimension. I would have sensed them, but I can't and I nearly died from the last encounter with them. They are the reason I am half animatronic. I put up a good fight with my team and resistance, but…." He stops himself from saying anything else. I give Mexo a blank stare.
{Let me take care of this, Noelle.} Shadow says in my mind.
{Very well.} I reply as I let her take over.
"Listen, kid. I'll let you in on something; I will tell you everything you need to know in time. Oh and the reason you can't sense them is because their Original versions of themselves haven't been awoken yet. So don't worry, they're not as big a threat as you think and they don't know me at all. I may surprise them later on, but for now, we need to focus on the Drawkills. They can't do a thing to you. If this is a game to them how about we break the rules." Shadow says as she uncrosses my arms and leans forward and places her elbows on the table while using my voice to try to explain to Mexo that he can play the same game as 'them'. I notice that Mexo was too deep in thought to hear what Shadow said.
After a few moments of silence, Mexo starts talking about how he uses his teleportation and rift traveling abilities, completely ignoring what Shadow just said, Shadow sighs in our shared mind and gives me back control of our body.
Meanwhile, {What the heck were they talking about?} Freddy thinks to himself as he leans against the wall that he was hiding behind.
{Whatever it is it doesn't sound good. It sounds dangerous.} Freddy thinks to himself again and shakes his head.
{I need to get out of here before anyone notices that I've been gone for too long.} Freddy thinks to himself before he quietly sneaks away to join the others as well as continue his rounds. Not knowing that he was already caught spying on Noelle and Mexo's conversation.
{Freddy, you'll learn soon enough that some things are best left forgotten.} Vincent says in their mind as he makes their body leave the wall they were in. He switches back from his Phantom Form to his Default Mode, but stays near the room as he leans against the wall.
{I'm sure he'll learn soon enough, Vincent.} Springbonnie says, reassuringly.
{I hope so and I'm pretty sure that Noelle already knows that we're here and listening in to their conversation.} Vincent replies.
{Will we be in trouble?} Springbonnie questions.
{No, Noelle will want to know more about them, since we both know because of the Celestial Rules, Shadow is unable to tell her much about them until later on.} Vincent replies as he crosses their arms and shakes their head.
{So you know what they are?} Springbonnie asks.
{Sort of. I only saw one of their shadows and I did overhear a little of their conversation, when I was still alive. They are some sort of animatronic group, but I don't know what kind and I doubt that their Original versions will awaken any time soon.} Vincent says.
{Will they be a problem for us, later on, Vincent?} Springbonnie asks.
{I'm not sure, but we will find out when the time comes. I certainly do hope that they won't be a threat to us.} Vincent says as they wait for Noelle and Mexo to get done with their conversation.
