(Okay, I'm-a back for a bit. I realize I focused a little too heavily on the MHA fanfic, so I decided to rectify that with this and later the Koopalings thing when I finish that chapter. Anyways, enjoy!)
Gregory climbed down another obstacle and saw the wreckage. He shone his light into the darkness of…a back room. He then looked and saw Roxy. Roxy had been destroyed and crushed under a car, her wires exposed and a bit of oil was leaking. He didn't know what to feel. He was sad for Freddy and Cassie, but then also…not, because of what Roxy's been doing. And then again, she's a victim.
"Shut your brain up, Gregory." He told himself, pulling out Roxy's eyes from her sockets. "I just hope he can repair them." Gregory said.
Roxy's motionlessness however did not last, and Gregory had felt his arm was grabbed. "Y-YOU BRAT!" Roxy shouted at him, Gregory had screamed in fear: "A-AAH! L-LET GO OF ME!" Gregory said, trying to kick Roxy's hand off of his arm. Her joints had malfunctioned and her grip had been weaker when he kicked her. He felt himself break free and ran as quick as possible to get out.
"YOU LITTLE COWARD! YOU TOOK MY EYES! GET BACK HERE!!" Roxy shouted, trying to get the kart off of her.
Gregory ran and looked for a way out, climbing back was gonna be too difficult. That slope was slippery.
Gregory panted and ran to see a door that was boarded up by wood panels. He didn't see a back we he came, so he realized. He was trapped once again. "No…No! Come on!" Gregory tried to ram into the door, a thud being echoed across this corridor. "I HEAR YOU, YOU COWARD!" Roxy continued to shriek, and what Gregory wasn't expecting was that she charged right at him and lunged. Gregory ducked and saw Roxy had jumped right above him. She broke through the door and smashed the panels.
"I-I didn't get you…? WHERE…ARE YOU?!" Roxy shouted and called out to the boy.
Gregory covered his mouth and was scared. "Don't tell me she has to help me…?" Gregory asked himself, realizing he may need to trick Roxy into helping him get out. That will be a huge risk in and of itself.
He reluctantly walked through the door.
(Meanwhile)
Bonnie had kept Sammy and Moon close by, signaling when they could leave. Vanessa was still looking for them. "Bonnie! Sammy! I promise I'm just trying to help!" She called out to them.
"I'll see if I can distract her." Moon said, climbing above and hiding in the shadows. "I'll make noise to get her far away. Supernova, go with your papa and find Uncle Freddy and our friends." Moon said.
"Got it." Sammy whispered. "Come on, kiddo. We'll regroup before heading to the Fazcade." Bonnie said, picking up his child and heading through the garage door.
Moon stayed behind and tried to find opportune moments to distract the night guard.
"I-I'm trying! He's here! I know he is!" Vanessa said to…no one, Moon could see. He watched quietly from the ceiling and saw Vanessa looked like she was in pain. He didn't know what this was, but, she began shaking and holding her head, asking for this not to happen. "It seems I will need to continue our little chase." Vanessa said, walking closer towards the halls to the security office.
Moon was intrigued, because now Vanessa seemed like an entirely different person. Her scared face was nowhere to be seen and the robo-jester could tell something was off. "Officer Vanessa…why are you acting like that?" Moon asked himself, deciding to investigate why she wasn't chasing after Bonnie and Sammy.
(Back with Bonnie and Sammy)
"Do you see her?" Sammy asked, "No, we're clear, kiddo. Now, you said they were in the raceway, right?" Bonnie asked.
"Yeah, Uncle Freddy, Gregory and Cassie should be back in the salon right now." Sammy explained, "Got it, rascal. Thankfully, I don't see Roxy or Chica." Bonnie said, running through the halls.
A system notification appeared around his vision. "Oh no…Sammy, I'll need to recharge. Let's heard to a recharge station first." Bonnie said, looking for a recharge station. Sammy saw that he was being placed in a Photo Booth for a moment. "Wait here while I recharge. Don't come out, okay?" Bonnie asked, putting his finger to his mouth. Sammy was being told to be quiet. "O-Okay." Sammy had muttered and waited for Papa to finish.
(Beidou: To Ashes! Me: Beidou, his name's Asher! Beidou: O-Oh, my bad. To Asher!)
Asher finally installed the jaw line and voice box for Monty. "Okay, now if I can find away to disconnect you and reset your system." Asher said, taking a breath. He was finally done with Monty's physical repairs, but now what he needs to do now is disconnect Monty from the main network. He then saw that he had been given a notification.
"Asher. It is me, Freddy. I am contacting and informing you that Gregory, Cassie & Sammy are here in the Pizzaplex right now. We are heading to where Cassie believes she saw the first Princess Quest game. I will keep them safe while you repair Monty and while Bonnie is
— Glamrock Freddy."
Asher's eyes widened the more he read the email. "How did…What are they doing?!" Asher didn't think, and he immediately went out of Parts & Service. "They're in the raceway, he said. I gotta hurry." Asher then said, looking one more time at Monty. "Cassie…Sammy, why did you have to come here?" He asked, worried for his kids.
(To the Bear in Question)
Cassie and Freddy made it back to the salon while they waited for Gregory. "Sammy, are you here?" Cassie then burst through the door, and she didn't see her cousin or Moon in sight.
"Wh-Where are they?" She asked, "I…am not sure. Cassie, we must search around the raceway." Freddy said, running out of the salon to look around.
Cassie and Freddy looked and shouted for their names. Freddy looked around, worried if his nephew was taken. Bonnie would never forgive him.
As he looked around, static begun to overtake his vision. "No…I-Is Vanny near—" Freddy had felt his vision become blurry.
Freddy's ocular functions had begun to glitch out with the color purple. "Wh-What is—happening?!" Freddy asked, grabbing his head.
"Freddy, let's get back to—" Cassie then saw that Freddy looked like he was suffering.
"Freddy! Talk to me! Are you okay?!" Cassie asked. Freddy had then stood back up straight.
"I-I am fine, Cassie. No luck, I see?" He asked, voice perfectly calmer. "Nothing…come on, let's head back to find Gregory." Cassie suggestion. "Of course. I hope he is all right." Freddy had said.
(Downstairs)
Gregory hid in one of the bins. "MY HAIR FEELS LIKE IT'S RUINED…!" Roxy said, seemingly like she would cry. "I…I worked too hard on brushing it…Now—I-I…what will Bon think of me What will ANYONE think of me…?" She asked herself.
"I WILL FIND YOU, YOU RUNT! GIVE ME BACK MY EYES!" She shouted, Gregory had trembled and tried to contain himself.
He waited to see Roxy was roaming around the halls, tearing through what she could feel to find him. Gregory quietly moved out of the bin and stepped on a loose.
"GET OVER HERE, YOU BRAT!" Roxy said, taking another lunged, Gregory fell and was scared more and more, before realizing the wall behind him wasn't there.
A hole was torn through the concrete walls and he ran as best as he could to get out of there. He shone his light and nearly tripped or slipped when he tried to escape. "No! No no no! Come on!" Gregory realized more wood panels stood in his way of getting out of this area.
He tried to see if he could break them off himself, and he could hear Roxy approaching him faster and faster. "I KNOW YOU'RE THERE! I WILL GET YOU!" She continued to scream, and Gregory had shone his light to see Roxy was charging at him again.
"Please let this be the last one!" Gregory ducked himself down and made sure Roxy wouldn't grab him. The broken robo-wolf had managed to break through the door, giving Gregory the help he needed. She started running around the room, and when Gregory had ran in, he didn't need his flashlight since the room was light by something on the ground.
"It's hot in here." Gregory said to himself, looking for a way though. He couldn't run straight out without burning himself under the steam. "YOU'RE NOT GETTING AWAY FROM ME, BRAT! YOU'RE GOING TO GET WHAT'S COMING TO YOU!" Roxy said.
Gregory ran the oppposite direction and turned to make it past the steam. "I-I just gotta keep going!" Gregory said to himself.
"KEEP TALKING! NOW I KNOW WHERE TO FIND YOU! RAAAUGH!" She shouted, lunging for Gregory again!
Gregory ran out as fast as he could and tried to look for a door. He couldn't find one and his heart was going to give out from all the unstable beating, "What do I—" Gregory looked back and saw a vent duct and saw it was unscrewed. "God, I don't know if this is a miracle, but thanks!" Gregory thought to himself, lifting the duct off, which alerted Roxy.
"WHERE ARE YOU GOING?!" Roxy said, lunging at him, and she had managed to grab his leg. "L-Let go of me!" Gregory said, managing to kick Roxy's face!
Gregory kept running through the duct, and one side wasn't optional, so he turned to the right. "What HAPPENED in this room?!" He asked himself, not stopping and kept crawling until he found a way out.
Lights had helped him find a way out and then he fell out of the duct. He sat up against the wall, hyperventilating and catching his breath. "I'm alive…I'm alive…" Gregory said, before seeing a stairway that leads up. Hopefully into the raceway with the others.
Still, a part of him began to feel sad. Not as much, because she just wanted to kill him now, but Roxy was only acting the way she was because of the virus. Now, she was busted up and blind.
"I'm sorry…Roxy…but I had to." Gregory said, putting Roxy's eyes in his bag. "Just until we can REALLY fix you." Gregory said.
(Meanwhile)
Moon had ran out as quickly as possible and needed to warn the others as quickly as possible. He didn't know who to run to. Everyone's split into three separate parties. "I-I have to find Bonnie and Sammy!" Moon said, deciding to go to them. They need to figure out how to regroup and fast. Vanessa really WASN'T meant to be trusted.
Moon jumped over the metal beams and flew across the ceiling of the Pizzaplex like he wasn't connected to a carbon fiber rope and harness gimbal at all.
"Who was Vanny talking to in the tv monitors?" Moon began to ask, because he didn't just see Vanessa or Vanny or whatever she wants to call herself. The robo-jester saw something on the tv monitors. It had…green rabbit ears. That was not a good sign. Not a good sign at all.
(Okay, we're done! I hope u guys like the chapter. Gregory running from Roxy was VERY much the intended focus of this chapter. But boy, Bonnie and Asher are NOT gonna like what happened with Roxy. Also, Freddy's glowing purple, now that's just mysterious! I look forward to the aftermath chapter of this one. Anyways, stay strong and awesome!)
