Chapter 7: Questions and Answers

After the talk Mexo and I had. We got up and started walking to Mexo's Quarters. I notice Mexo stop and stare at my back as I continue to walk.

"I agree with you. Maybe, we can bend the rules of their game, but they will always be player one," He says blankly before he runs to catch up to me.

"Of course they will be player one, Mexo. They are the ones who created the games after all, but I'm glad you agree with me on bending the rules." I say as we head to the second floor of Springtrap's Base. We walk in silence for a few minutes until I stop in front of his room.

"This is where you and the other Animatronicgedden Animatronics will be staying until we've secure a base for you in your dimension," I tell him.

"Ok thanks," Mexo says as he is about to open the door, I start to talk again.

"Oh and remember you'll be roommates with JoKo. Also, Mexo. Don't underestimate what I can do I'm not like the others." I say with a dark tone in my voice before I walk off. I notice Mexo watching me as I walked away with a shocked expression on his face before he opens the door to his quarters and walks inside.

I walk upstairs to the first level. I then walk towards Springtrap, Mike, and Sam's quarters. I then open the door leading into the common room that Mike, Sam, and Springtrap share, only to see Mike and Sam about to enter Springtrap's room, which was off limits to them, there is also a secret passageway that lead to my room in case of emergency but, that's a different matter to discuss.

"What are you two doing?" I ask as I cross my arms and glare at Mike and Sam. They both stop in their tracks and turn to look at me.

"Oh, well. Um...it's not what it looks like, Noelle." Mike says nervously as he rubs the back of his neck.

"Oh really. Cause to me it looks like you two are trying to break in Springtrap's room. Am I wrong?" I say in a monotone voice and give them a very intimidating stare.

"Well, um…we wanted to see what was in Vince- I mean Springtrap's room." Sam says nervously as he pauses through several parts of his sentence.

"First off, why would you two want to go into Springtrap's room? Springtrap would kill you two if he ever found out, you went into his room. Secondly, Springtrap really doesn't care if you call him, Springbonnie, Springtrap, or Vincent. He will sometimes tolerate Vince, but he'll only let me call him, Trap. The names Springtrap will not tolerate is Springy or Vinny. Thirdly, how do you know he's not in there?" I ask as I look at the two lying Night Guards in front of me.

"Well, after you two left. We made sure everything was clear and he wasn't around. Oh and thanks for telling me what I should and shouldn't call my brother, nowadays." Sam says in a still somewhat nervous matter.

"Also the reason we want to check out his room is because we want to make sure he doesn't have a plan to kill us. I still don't trust him, especially after the stories I heard about him from Sam." Mike adds on. I then see Springtrap in his Phantom Form appear behind Mike and Sam. Springtrap then switches back to his Default Mode, he holds up a finger to his mouth, telling me 'Don't tell them I'm here,'.

"Oh and, Vinny and Springy. *Laughs*. Those nicknames sound ridiculous, who the hell nicknamed Vincent, Vinny? Hahaha." Mike says in between laughs, I notice Springtrap scowl at Mike.

"Well, when we were younger I nicknamed Vincent, Vinny. *Laughs*. It was so funny when I called him that in front of our parents. Hahaha. Also, who nicknamed Springtrap, Springy. *Laughs*. It makes Springtrap's name sound cute. *Laughs*." Sam says in between laughs as he recalls some of his childhood memories, I notice Springtrap glare at his younger brother. Springtrap then decides to tap Sam's shoulder causing Sam to turn around. Sam suddenly stops his laughing as his face turns into one of pure horror. Mike notices that Sam stopped laughing.

"Hey, dude? You okay?" Mike asks, in still somewhat of a laughing manner, as he turns to see what Sam was looking at. Mike then stops his laughing as all the color from his face drains.

"H-hey, Sp-Springtrap. H-how long have you been listening?" Mike asks nervously.

"Long enough to know that you two tried to enter my room and have been ridiculing me. Behind my back. Oh, and I hope that you two are well aware of what is going to happen to you two later." Springtrap says glaring at them. Both night guards gulp and start to run back towards their rooms. They both open their respective bedroom doors and quickly slam them shut.

"Tch. Scaredy cats and I'm assuming you want to talk to me about them?" Springtrap questions with a hint of laughter in his voice.

"Yes, and has Freddy only heard about the talk about, them?" I ask as I fold my hands behind my back. Springtrap nods.

"He left as soon as you two were done," Springtrap says.

"Mexo is certainly not the sharpest tool in the shed if he didn't know that you and Freddy were listening in. So tell me about them." I ask.

"Very well, but not out here," Springtrap says as he opens the door to his room. I walk inside, Springtrap follows me and closes the door, behind him. I look around, Springtrap's Room. I see lots of books, tools, and a bunch of other projects that Springtrap has been working on as well as a few projects that he's been working on with me, lying around the room.

"So tell me why is, Mexo so afraid of them and what can you tell me about them?" I ask as I cross my arms and lean against the wall.

"Well, I've never seen them, but I have seen one of their shadows and overheard a bit about their plans when I was still alive. I will have to agree with Mexo on this. They think this whole thing is a game and since I have a theory that their Originals will not awaken before they do. They will become rogue and think on their own terms." Springtrap explains in a somewhat nervous tone as he rubs his wrist nervously. He then looks at me.

"Ok then, tell me what their shadows looked like and what they were talking about," I say with a bit of interest.

"Well, their shadows looked like real monsters. They were like something that came out of a horror movie, they were freaks of nature. They looked like something ripped them apart and burned them and became this… this…. horrible monster. Their plans were… well…. just as deadly. They planned on tracking down this demonic resistance, something related to Mexo and the Demon Angels. They talked about destroying them and the Animatronicgedden's Main Universe once and for all. To make it into their image, not only that but apparently they also had some sort of secret weapon. I don't know what it was, but before I could hear more of their plans, one of them noticed my shadow. So I ran off and hid for a while until I was sure they were gone." Springtrap tells me as he recalls the memory.

"Well, is there anything else you can tell me?" I ask.

"There was this one voice that sounded like it belonged to a woman and one of the shadows looked like a child's shadow, but that's all I know. The other shadows were indescribable." Springtrap says recalling what he saw and heard that day.

"Interesting, we'll talk about this later and discuss our next move, but first we need to question JoKo on why she is here. She is supposed to be trapped in the Animatronicgedden Dimension's Void, at least that's what I've heard from Shadow. Would you like to come?" I say.

"That would be fine, but later I will need some help torturing Mike and Sam for their little stunt. I assume you will want to help me?" Springtrap says with a glint of mischief in his eyes.

"Of course. Shadow says I need some practice, tormenting people. So come on let's go and don't forget to set up your security system. We can't trust the others especially since Freddy has temporary access to your base." I say as I straighten up.

"Way ahead of you on that kid," Springbonnie says, temporarily taking control for a second, as everything disappears and turns into Springbonnie's room when he is allowed to be in control.

"I am so glad Springbonnie's room doesn't have anything that can get us deactivated." Vincent comments, temporarily taking control.

"Now, let's go," I say as I open the door and leave Springtrap's Room. Springtrap follows me and closes the door behind us as we head over to Mexo and JoKo's Quarters.

When we get there I knock on the door and Mexo opens it a few minutes later.

"O-oh Noelle. Original Springtrap. What are you two doing here?" Mexo asks as I notice JoKo hiding behind the couch.

"Hello, Mexo. I just wanted to talk to JoKo." I say in a fake perky tone. He looks behind me at Springtrap.

"Then, why is he here?" Mexo questions.

"Springtrap wanted to tag along," I tell him.

"And I still can't trust a majority of the animatronics here. The last thing I want is Noelle to get herself killed." Springtrap adds on.

"What do you mean? Noelle can take care of herself." Mexo says.

"Let me rephrase that. If she dies, I get dismantled by a very angry Brandy as well as the other Originals." Springtrap says.

"Who's Brandy?" Mexo asks.

"That's none of your business or concern." Springtrap snaps.

"Alright enough, boys. You two can fight it out later preferably after the war. Now, JoKo, what are you doing here?" I say as JoKo comes out from behind the couch.

"I...I wanted to talk with Mexo that's all." She says and looks around nervously as if she was hiding something.

"I don't mean that, we could care less if you talk to Mexo. I mean what are you doing here?" I say talking about how she got into the Original Dimension.

"Well, I don't really know why or how I got here, but if I was brought here from the Void. It must be for some sort of purpose. Either that or someone tried to control me. Even though Rinka is the strongest than me and my other sister." JoKo explains, still confused.

"Well, we can definitely assume that the Drawkills may have released you from the Animatronicgedden Void and want you on their side," I comment out loud.

"Agreed, but why do they need her or one of her sisters?" Springtrap says.

"I don't know exactly. Maybe because she is the youngest and it is going by age or they didn't have enough power to summon her other sisters." I say.

"What are you guys talking about?" Mexo asks.

"We'll tell you later. Maybe. Now JoKo tell me what happened after you were released from the Animatronicgedden Void and were brought here." I ask as I cross my arms.

"Well, after I was released from the Void, I saw a Drawkill, as you call them, and ran. I then hid in a party room, then Mexo saved me and now here we are." JoKo explains.

"Then, who let you in? We made sure that, unless you have special permission, you cannot re-enter the base unless someone lets you inside." I question already knowing how they back into the base.

"Well, when we were running away from the Drawkills, JoKo said '...shadow.' I then saw a shadow of a girl and it let us back into the base. It was the shadow I was asking you about earlier." Mexo says.

'So Shadow saved them. Now it makes sense with the voices I heard on our supply run.' I think to myself.

"What shadow? Shadows don't necessarily move especially not human shadows, but the Shadow Animatronics are an exception because they have a bit of magic." I say, pretending not to know anything. Mexo gives me a questioning look.

'She sounds like she's hiding something, but what?' I hear him think to himself.

'You have no idea what secrets I hold. I'm hiding a lot more than you think, Mexo.' I silently answer Mexo's question.

"I guess. I must be seeing things because of the stress of what's going on." Mexo says trying to not sound suspicious but, failing. We then hear a crash outside.

"I'll go see what that was," Springtrap says and leaves.

"Yeah, I'll be going too. If you have any questions JoKo, ask me or one of the other Originals. Ok?" I tell her.

"O-ok," JoKo says. I then leave while JoKo and Mexo continue what they were doing before we interrupted them.

As Shadow and I leave Mexo and JoKo's Room and walk in the direction the crashing noise came from.

{He's becoming more suspicious of us.} Shadow says in my mind.

{I am very well aware of that, Shadow. When are you going back to the Main Dimension? We still need to keep our cover over there and I grow tired of Mexo asking about you.} I question.

{Soon and I will try to stay out of sight, it might be a bit harder though since Mexo keeps getting into trouble.} Shadow says.

{If you must plant a tracker that he can't remove or deactivate, if he finds it, on his animatronic side. So I can know where he is, so you don't have to look out for that idiot.} I tell Shadow.

{Good idea. I'll do it tonight.} Shadow says and disappears.

I walk over to where the crash came from and I see Springtrap arguing with Mike, Sam, and Freddy in front of Springtrap's room.

"What are you hiding in there, that you don't want us to see you, murderer?!" Freddy yells.

"None of your business, Fredrick, and what the hell are you even doing here!" Springtrap yells back.

"He wanted to find out what's in your room just like us." Mike starts yelling.

"And why we were down here in the first place," Sam adds on in a semi-loud tone.

"Shut up, Sam! It isn't my fault that you two found out about us being possessed and that stuff. You're damn right lucky that Noelle prevented me from killing you and the rest of the Original Night Guards and that she prevented you from dying by the hands of a bunch of kids including your own niece!" Springtrap starts to rant.

"Wait! You're related to this, monster!" Freddy screams as he looks at Sam.

"Yes," Sam says quietly.

"Great! There is another killer around!" Freddy says angrily.

"Oh, please. Like you're any better Freddy! You tried to kill me!" Mike screams as he glares at Freddy remembering when Freddy tried to kill him.

"Yeah, and I'm nothing like Vincent!" Sam adds on as he raises his voice slightly.

"Agreed and Brandy is related to me too does that make her a killer like me? No! Sam has never killed anyone in his entire life, he would only cover for my disappearances. Hell, he didn't even know that I was the one killing people everywhere we went until he found your corpses and then realized that I killed you!" Springtrap yells. I sigh and use my powers to check where Bonnie, Foxy, and Chica were before I decided I've seen enough. I take a deep breath and yell.

"Alright, what the hell is going on here?!" I yell over the arguing group of night guards and animatronics, causing everyone to stop arguing and to look at me. Freddy, Mike, and Sam look at me, with surprised expressions on their faces because I cussed at them.

"Now explain to me why the hell you are all yelling like maniacs. You're all damn right lucky I made this entire base sound proof." I ask in my normal tone of voice as I cross my arms in front of my chest.

"Well, after we heard the crash, I followed the sound here, and I found them trying to break into my room," Springtrap says as he glares at the group.

"Yeah, because you are hiding something!" Freddy says as he raises his voice.

"Yep, and we still don't trust you either," Mike adds on as Sam nods in agreement and crosses his arms.

"Because you have no right to go through my stuff. This is my base and you're lucky I'm allowing you all to use it." Springtrap says angrily.

"Then, why are you so protective of your room unless you're hiding something dangerous," Freddy asks as he narrows his eyes at Springtrap.

"Yeah." Mike and Sam say at the same time.

"For heaven's sake. I've been in his room. If you asked nicely maybe he would let you in. Right, Springtrap?" I say.

"Yeah, if you asked I would have shown you what is in my room," Springtrap says as he opens the door to his room. Mike, Freddy, and Sam look inside. They see a bunch of normal stuff that a regular person would have in their room as well as several musical instruments.

"It...it looks normal." Sam points.

"Yeah." Mike says.

"Are you kidding me! If this was what was in your room then why didn't you let us see it in the first place?!" Freddy yells and throws his hands up exasperated as he gestures towards Springtrap's Room.

"Well, first of all, you never asked and wanted to break in. Second of all, it's my room and I like to have my privacy." Springtrap says leaning on the door frame to his room, crossing his arms in front of him.

"Then what did you not want us to know?" Mike asks skeptically.

"Yeah," Sam says.

"Well, Springtrap and I were working on a few things. Such as small and major projects in our spare time. Remember when I asked you guys to sing some lyrics I wrote or just talk in general?" I ask them.

"Yeah," Freddy says remembering when I asked him to sing some lyrics I gave him several months ago.

"Well, this is why," I say as I pull out one of the recorders that we used to record and edit the songs that are recorded on it. I pick up the one called 10-21-19-20 7-15-12-4 and I play the song recorded on it called 'Just Gold' that Springtrap and I created using multiple recordings of Freddy, Bonnie, Chica, Foxy, Golden Freddy, and Springtrap's voices, but in the Main Dimension, the song was created by someone called Mandopony. The song starts to play after a few seconds of silence.

(Instrumental)

Freddy, Bonnie, Chica, and Foxy (Singing at the same time):

The story must be told

Time for a chain reaction

It never gets old

Some bots get satisfaction

Some bots are just gold

The song ends and the recorder automatically shuts itself off. Freddy looks at Springtrap with a surprised look on his face.

"You can sing and play an instrument?" Freddy asks.

"Yeah," Springtrap says as he looks at his fingers.

"That's what you were hiding from us?" Mike asks in confusion.

"Yep," Springtrap says as he looks over at Mike for a second.

"And you two made that song by putting together recordings of everyone's voice?" Sam asks in curiosity since he knows that I wouldn't be able to get Springtrap to sing with anyone since Springtrap is still technically on not so friendly terms with a majority of the animatronics.

"Pretty much, but Noelle wrote the song. I only gave her the ideas and helped her with recording your voices and putting it together for the song. Since there was a voice-over and a few filters in the song." Springtrap says.

"The reason why Springtrap didn't want anyone to know is because he didn't think he was good. Yeah, he already knew how to play the guitar and sing, but Springbonnie helped him with the filters and instrument recordings Springbonnie has from his memory drive, so we didn't need a microphone and some of the other instruments that we would've needed. He was also teaching me how to play the instruments and he also gave me a few pointers on singing." I partially lied.

"Oh, sorry." Mike and Sam say at the same time as they look down at their feet.

"Ok, you two get back to your rooms before your punishment for trying to break into my room again, gets worse," Springtrap says in a semi-harsh tone as both night guards run into their rooms. I turn to Freddy and nudge his arm.

"Freddy, don't you have something to say?" I ask as I look Freddy in the eyes.

"Sorry," Freddy says reluctantly as he turns his head away from me and Springtrap.

"Good now, go join the others," I tell him as I uncross my arms.

"Fine, but I have my eye on you, Springtrap," Freddy says as he glares at Springtrap then leaves. After I make sure Freddy was out of earshot, I let out a sigh of relief.

"Good, they bought it," Springtrap sighs with relief as he straightens up.

"Yeah, but now we need to discuss the plan," I say as I walk into Springtrap's room, he follows and closes the door. The room changes into what Springtrap's Real Room looks like with all his personal projects and etc., a planning table appears in the center of the room.

"Now what's the plan?" Springtrap asks.

"Ok. Here's what we're going to do." I say as we start discussing our tactics and plans.
