Nesscas oneshot haven

by Breakdown003

This will have a lot of Nesscas one-shots. That's all I need to say really. These will be my first one-shots for Nesscas so let's hope they're good.

96. Protect the boy

The door to Lucas's house slammed shut as he walked over and fell onto his couch. He groaned loudly before turning the tv on. It was the news. It was talking about how crime was rising in the city of Ultimatum. The news reporter was going on and on about something dealing with the story, but Lucas wasn't really paying attention. He soon heard his stomach growl, so he groaned even louder. "Damn food. Why do I need to be hungry?" He stood up and walked over to the kitchen. He opened the fridge and a small carton of milk fell out. It was a tall rectangular box. It was not the normal gallon of milk.

Lucas picked it up and twisted it around, seeing a small ad for a missing kid. "What is this, the 80's?" Lucas put the milk aside and grabbed some bacon. He loved bacon. He started cooking it when there was a knock at his door. He groaned once more before walking over and seeing that an envelope had slid into his house. He opened the door, looking around to not see anything or anyone. "Weird." He closed the door and saw that the envelope was for him, with his name on it and a strange logo…a circle with a cross slash in it. He walked back to the kitchen and cut the envelope open. Inside it was a note. He took it out and saw that the writing was a bit sloppy.

Lucas. Come to Freddy Fazbear's Mega Pizzaplex. There's something you need to do.

Lucas put the note on the counter and read it over a few times before bringing out his phone to call Ness. "Hey, Ness…could you do something for me?"

"So, this is the place?" Ness asked. Lucas looked down at the note he received. It was rigid and the writer had very poor handwriting. Lucas put the note in his pocket.

"Yup. Freddy Fazbear's Mega Pizzaplex," Lucas said as he looked up at the huge sign over the entrance to the mall. He looked back at Ness.

"So, you did the research like I asked?"

"Yeah. Apparently, his place has been here for years."

"B….But I've never seen or heard of this place."

"Wait wait, this gets better…or worse depending on how you see it." Lucas crossed his arms. "Kids have been going missing in there."

"What?"

"Yeah, based on my research it seems like dozens upon dozens upon dozens of kids have gone missing in this place alone."

"How have I never heard of this place?" Ness shrugged.

"My question is why were we told to go here. And who made the note?" Lucas stepped forward and tried to push the doors open, but sure enough, they were locked.

"Well, whatever we were called here to do, we'd need to break in." Ness stepped back and thought for a moment.

"Maybe….maybe there's a kid in there we need to save?"

"We're not heroes, Ness. We're employees at a grocery store."

"I know that! B-but…that doesn't mean we can't also be heroes." Lucas looked down at his feet for a moment before sighing. He loved his job as a bagger, he truly did. But he always felt like there was more to life than bagging. More to life than the city they lived in.

"Ok. But we need to be careful. We don't need the police to come."

"Right." Lucas tilted his head as he scanned the place at a very basic level.

"This place seems big. Which means there has to be a fire exit at the roof, right?"

"Yeah, but how're we going to get all the way up there?" Lucas looked around the area and saw a pretty tall parking building on the other side of the road as the Pizzaplex. Ness could already tell the idea in Lucas's head. "No. You're crazy. We're not doing that!"

"Aww come on! It'll be fun. We'll get to feel like true action heroes going to save the kid in need," Lucas smirked as he did a few hits into the air. Ness looked up at the parking building and gulped. He wasn't scared of heights or anything. He was scared that Lucas would hurt himself in the prospect of being a hero.

"O-ok. Let's get this over with."

"YES!" Lucas grabbed Ness's hand and ran off to the parking building. They made it all the way to the top, and the distance from the Pizzaplex was rather large. But Lucas was able to see the fire exit. "Look, the fire exit." Ness saw it too. He turned toward Lucas.

"Well, how're we going to get over there? We can't fly. We don't have psychic powers to just float over there." Lucas looked around and started searching. Soon enough, he found some weird ancient-looking paragliders. He walked back to Ness.

"Perfect, right here."

"That's…awfully convenient?"

"We were told to come here. It's not hard to believe the person who sent the letter set this up." Ness shrugged as he grabbed his paraglider. The two of them stepped up to the edge of the parking building. Ness gulped again. "WOOHOO!" Lucas yelled as he jumped off, holding the paraglider over his head, which significantly lowered Ness's worries. Ness was soon able to do it himself.

Lucas landed on the Pizzaplex's roof, turning around to see Ness. He was coming, but he was also losing grip on the paraglider. "Ness, watch out-" Ness slipped from the paraglider, making Lucas jump forward and reach his hand past the roof, being able to grab his hand. "L-Lucas! H-how did you do that?"

"I-I don't know. M-my senses just…everything acted on its own."

"Well, what're you waiting for, pull me up!"

"Oh, right, right." Lucas pulled back and brought Ness onto the roof. He flicked his hand around, surprised he was able to move fast enough to catch him from falling.

"Well, we did it, we're on the roof." Lucas nodded as he walked to the fire exit. Luckily for them, it was unlocked. Lucas let out a sigh of relief as the two of them went down the fire exit. They wound up in a hallway that seemed in the middle of some rooms full of arcade machines. They walked through the hall and found themselves in the arcade. "Wow, this place definitely has a budget huh?"

"The lights are on and everything."

"Too bad we don't have tokens to play the games."

"Yeah, shame." They continued walking around, before eventually seeing a strange-looking robot coming their way. It had a flashlight. "What's that?"

"I dunno," Ness shrugged. The robot was getting closer and closer until BOOM! It suddenly jumped in the boys' faces, causing a loud noise and the two boys to yell in terror. They ran off into what seemed to be a photo booth.

"T-that was not very fun," Lucas shook. Ness looked out of the curtains that they were hiding in.

"Well, to be fair, we are breaking and entering. We should've expected there to be security."

"Yeah, but not in the form of jump-scaring robots!"

"SHH!" Ness ordered as he put a finger over Lucas's lips. Lucas raised an eyebrow to ask why. Ness pointed out of the curtains. They looked out and saw another robot? This one seemed more detailed and based on an animal rather than any basic design.

"I bet you don't even have friends!" the robot wolf said. Lucas huffed.

"Well, that's just rude." Ness closed the curtain.

"Ok, we need to find this kid without the robots finding us. Claus will beat our asses if he catches us in here."

"That's for sure." Ness peeked out of the curtain, to not see the robot wolf anymore.

"Come on." They left the photo booth, seeing a lot of the smaller security robots, but the wolf was nowhere to be seen. They continued walking through the arcade before making it to some weird rasing door. It led into…a restaurant. The two of them walked in and found there to be a Mexican theme.

"This place looks nice." Ness pulled Lucas to the side, out of the way of an oncoming security robot. They walked alongside the counter to stay out of view of the robot's very near-sighted vision. Once they were out of range of the robot's normal scanning pattern, they left from the counter. They looked at said counter and found the name "El Chip's" underneath it.

"I wonder if they have food here."

"I doubt it. If they did, I'm sure the kid would've stayed in here." He turned around and found another one of those rising doors. They stepped up to it and it opened…slightly. "What the heck?" Ness rolled underneath it.

"Woah…." Lucas did the same and felt the same awe Ness did. The main atrium. A massive, bright, and colorful area. The two of them ran to the edge and saw holograms of robots playing instruments. One of them being the wolf. But there was also a chicken, an alligator, and a bear. "This….is massive."

"That's an understatement." Lucas looked up and found some place called Bonnie Bowl. He loved bowling. His eyes sparkled. "They…have…BOWLING!" Lucas ran off toward Bonnie Bowl.

"W-wait, we're here on a mission….oh whatever." He followed Lucas. They made it to the entrance of Bonnie Bowl to see another one of those robots. It looked like they needed a pass to enter Bonnie Bowl. The boys shrugged before slipping past the robot and entering Bonnie Bowl. They found it was separated into three parts. A Bowling alley, an Ice Cream Parlor, and an Arcade. The Ice Cream Parlor acted as the middle ground, connecting the other two.

"Woah, this is more than bowling." Lucas stepped in and chuckled. He ran off in the direction of the bowling alley. Ness simply sighed before following him, his eyes lingering on the stage that was surrounded by a curtain before he was unable to see it.

Gregory handed the robot the pass to enter Bonnie Bowl. "What's in here again?" he asked as the S.T.A.F.F Bot left.

"Monty's Mix. Chica loves it. It will allow you to lure her somewhere," Freddy explained. Gregory turned around and smirked his evil little smirk. He walked to the door.

"Well, let's go, Freddy."

"I…do not know Gregory." Gregory turned around with a raised eyebrow.

"What?"

"I….I do not like going in there."

"Why?"

"I just…I can't. I am sorry, you will have to do this without me, Superstar." Gregory wanted to protest, but he decided to just not force his bear friend into a position he wouldn't feel comfortable. He walked into Bonnie Bowl and scanned the area.

"Hmm, where would Monty's Mix be?" He looked over to the arcade and saw the endoskeletons. He sighed heavily. "Not you guys again…" He shook his head, his hand on his Fazer Blaster, in case he needed to use it. He walked through the ice cream parlor and stopped in front of the small stage. "Who's is this?"

"Hey, it's the kid!" Ness yelled from the Bowling Alley as Lucas rolled a ball down to the pins. He looked over at the same time as Gregory looked over.

"Aw crap!" Lucas and Ness started walking toward him, but Gregory pulled out his Fazer Blaster and shot it directly into Lucas's eyes. For a second, Lucas saw nothing but the bright light.

"AHH!" He fell to his knees, his hands covering his eyes, giving Gregory time to escape as Ness bent down to help, in the best way he could. Gregory ran out of Bonnie Bowl and ran into Freddy. He looked up at him.

"What is the matter, Gregory?" Freddy asked.

"T-there are people in there!"

"Vanessa?"

"NO! N-not her. J-just open your belly already!"

"Of course." His stomach hatch opened up and Gregory didn't waste time and stepped into it. It closed up and Gregory gained control of Freddy, being able to see with the help of a weirdly placed screen on the inside of his stomach. Gregory controlled Freddy to enter Bonnie Bowl. Freddy just cringed to himself as they entered the attraction.

"I know it'll be hard, Freddy. But I need you."

"O-of course. I will help you out, Superstar." Almost as soon as they were in the attraction, Ness and Lucas ran out and screamed at the sight of Freddy. However, Freddy was right in front of the entrance and also the only exit. They were cornered.

"H-hi there….big robot," Lucas greeted, his fear of the robot contacting the police rising.

"Come on, let's just ditch this place," Ness pleaded.

"W-we can't!" Lucas looked back at Freddy.

"Wh-what's your name?"

"My name? It's Freddy Fazbear," Freddy simply said, sort of in his own head about being back in Bonnie Bowl after so long.

"Hey, he's the head of this place it seems. Maybe he could help us?" Ness asked. Lucas nodded and stepped forward.

"So, Freddy. Have you seen a kid around here? My friend and I received a note to come here, and we presume it's to help the kid before he winds up as just another statistic."

"Oo, very intelligent-sounding," Ness cooed. Lucas simply blushed without breaking the look he was giving Freddy.

"Ask him how they got in here," Gregory whispered.

"How did you two get in here? Every door is locked," Freddy asked. Ness and Lucas looked at each other before looking back at Freddy.

"Simple…we got in through the fire exit," Lucas explained.

"The fire exit? But when Gregory tried it was locked."

"Gregory? Oh, so you do know the kid."

"Uh….what kid!" Freddy nervously said. Gregory rolled his eyes before jumping out of Freddy's chest. He looked at the two of them.

"Why do you want to help me?" he asked.

"Were you….inside him?" Ness asked in confusion. Gregory simply waved him off, keeping his eyes on Lucas.

"Well, you're a kid, and are in a place known for disappearances, so of course, we want to help." Gregory crossed his arms as he opened his mouth to say something, but then one infamous sentence shook his spine.

"Are you having fun yet," A glitchy voice said, rather close to where he was.

"Wh-what was that?" Lucas asked.

"Vanny," Gregory said.

"Who's Vanny?" Ness asked back.

"No time to explain. Right now, it's time to hide!" Gregory grabbed the boys' hands and ran off to the stage. Gregory looked at Freddy. "Come on, Freddy!"

"I…do not know Gregory, that place….that stage…"

"There's no time Freddy!" Freddy looked at his sides before sighing and running over. He hid behind the curtains as Gregory peered out of the small hole that he had to be able to look out. Vanny was skipping around, causing Gregory's eyesight to glitch out. Vanny skipped around the entire attraction before she skipped out of Bonnie Bowl. Gregory sighed before opening the curtain and jumping out.

"Can you explain what's happening now?" Ness asked. Gregory groaned before turning around.

"Vanny is a lady in a bunny costume hunting me down. There. Done." Gregory looked at Freddy and saw his expression. Despite him being a robot, he still had very expressive eyes. "Freddy?"

"I do not come here often. I…I miss him." Gregory walked over to his friend, looking at the other two boys who seemed just as confused, if not more.

"Can robots….feel?" Ness asked Lucas, who simply shrugged.

"Yes. Me and my friends are…..advanced, you can say. My friend, Bonnie, was an outstanding guitarist. He inspired all of us. He was the pride of the Pizzaplex."

"But..that's you, isn't it? Your name is on the sign after all," Gregory said. Freddy shook his head.

"I was the leader. The head. He was the heart."

"Then I assume Chica and Roxy are the arms," Gregory laughed, which actually caused Freddy to chuckle as well, making him feel a bit better having talked about it. Freddy then looked at the other two boys.

"I sense confusion."

"No shit," Ness said.

"I have no clue what's going on," Lucas added on. Freddy looked down at Gregory.

"Shall we inform them, Gregory?" Gregory turned around and tilted his head as he hummed.

"I guess they deserve to know what we know." They closed the curtains and sat down for storytime. It took about 30 minutes to explain everything that the duo knew of the Pizzaplex.

"Ok, that all makes sense…sorta…kinda," Ness shrugged. Lucas looked down at the ground and thought for a moment.

"So, the animatronics, the security guard, and this…Vanny person is hunting you down. And you're trying to find a way out?" Gregory nodded his head.

"The security doors in the front open at 6am. If Gregory can stay hidden until that time, he should be good," Freddy added. Lucas stood up, his face showing he was deep in thought.

"Lucas?" Ness questioned.

"We…we weren't told to come here to protect Gregory," Lucas stated.

"What?" Gregory asked.

"What do you mean?" Ness asked as he stood up and put a hand on his shoulder. "Why else were we told to come here?"

"I don't know. But Gregory is already being saved, being protected. We wouldn't have been called to do something someone else is already doing," Lucas explained.

"Y-you're not gonna hunt me down, are you?" Lucas shook his head.

"We're here now. We won't let anything bad happen to you…but Ness and I need to find our purpose for being here."

"Freddy? Can we help them? It might help us all!" Freddy thought for a moment before nodding.

"I too would like to know what is going on within the Pizzaplex. Especially with all of those disappearances." Lucas snapped his fingers.

"That's it! We're here to solve the disappearances!" Lucas said loudly.

"Shut up!" Gregory yelled at him. Lucas covered his mouth.

"S-sorry."

"So what's the plan then? Where do we go from here?" Ness asked. Lucas looked at Freddy.

"Is there a place in the Pizzaplex that could give us some clue, even if it's small?"

"I do not know. But it's very possible that Roxy may know something. Go on, Gregory, show them the note." Gregory nodded his head as he stepped up and, on his Fazwatch, showed a note that said that Roxy was able to essentially see through walls.

"So if we can get through to her, maybe she'll help us," Ness said.

"Well, how? She spent all of the time while I was here trying to get me!" Gregory retorted. He hated the idea of going to try to communicate with her.

"Gregory, it is against our programming to hurt guests," Freddy repeated to Gregory after having said it to him not too long ago.

"Well, if he is sort of breaking in, he wouldn't be classified as a guest…would he?" Lucas asked. Freddy opened his mouth as his eyes flickered a bit. He looked down and hummed to himself.

"I guess I should have thought of that…."

"How're we going to get Roxy to help us then?" Gregory asked as he rubbed Freddy's back.

"Freddy? Roxy is your friend, right?" Ness asked. Freddy looked up at him and nodded his head. "Then maybe it's time for you two to talk about Gregory. If she, and the others, are acting out of their programming then maybe talking to her will change them."

"I do not know…I am not the best communicator…"

"Please Freddy…" Gregory pleaded with needy eyes. Freddy's eyes seemed to have smiled, as he ruffled Gregory's hair.

"If you think this will help."

"I do. If…if we can get through this without bad things happening to your friends, it's at least worth a shot, right?"

"Yes. That would be ideal." Freddy looked over at Ness and Lucas. "Alright. I will try my best to get through to Roxy." Freddy stood up and started to the exit of Bonnie Bowl. He turned around. "Stay careful boys. Oh, and before I leave, you two deserve something. Freddy's chest cavity opened up to show two gift boxes.

"What is it?" Lucas asked.

"Just go and get it," Gregory said as he pushed the two over to Freddy."

"No need to be pushy, Gregory," Freddy said. Ness and Lucas grabbed a gift box each and started winding it up. After a bit of time, it opened to show two more Fazwatches.

"Woah, these are really…for us?" Lucas asked as he grabbed his. Freddy nodded his head.

"If we are going to be doing this together, we can use these Fazwatches to communicate over long distances. It will allow you access to cameras and the map as well."

"Wow, How is that safe? From like a business standpoint to have people have access to the cameras?"

"It's not. You'll come to learn that this place isn't protecting the guests, but the workers," Gregory said. Freddy nodded.

"Now then. I shall be on my way. Wish me luck," Freddy said as he walked off. He was slightly nervous as he was walking through the halls. He saw Monty and Chica in the Atrium but didn't see Roxy. He decided to go check Rockstar Row. Upon doing so, he found it to be immediately useful. He could hear Roxy's cries. He walked over to Roxy's Green Room.

He entered it and Roxy shot out, "Get out of my room, Freddy!" Roxy's cries soothed a tad bit, just for the fact that she didn't want to cry in front of Freddy. She wanted to continuously show him she is the best, and the best didn't cry in front of her friends….she believed so at least.

"I…can not. I am here to talk to you, Roxy."

"I'm not in the mood for talking, Freddy. Out, NOW!"

"Roxy, please. What is hurting you?" Roxy looked into the mirror. Roxy groaned loudly. She wanted to tell Freddy, she desperately did. But she didn't want to appear weak or bad. She shot around.

"I'm perfectly fine Freddy. Now get on your way-"

"You are not fine, Roxy. You can not possibly think you would be able to get away with lying to me, do you?"

"Why do you care all of a sudden? You surely didn't care about us when Bonnie left. You think you were the only one affected by it? He was a friend to us all, and you just stayed to yourself about it."

"Roxy….please, I did not-"

"You can say you didn't mean it all you want, but the fact is….all of us know how you view us. We're not important. Bonnie is gone…and now so are you." Roxy's eyes lowered as she walked out of her Green Room. Freddy sighed before looking out of Roxy's window. He saw Roxy standing in front of the Pirate Foxy cut out. He then knew what had been bothering her, outside of his own negligence for his friends. He left the Green Room and got next to her.

"You are upset because you believe you think you can not live up to Foxy's name?" Roxy hesitated for a moment before she sighed.

"Foxy had everything..plushies, the pirate movie, arcades, toys, and he was in the cartoon even. He was loved. The Pizzaplex had Freddy….Bonnie….Chica….but no Foxy. Foxy was simply…not here. But you know who was here? Me…Roxy. People expect me to be as good as he is. People expect me to live up to the great name of Foxy the Pirate Fox….but I just can't. Foxy was the best. And I am just…trying to follow in his footsteps. And failing to do so." Freddy nodded, never hearing Roxy so emotional before. He clearly wasn't the best friend he could have and should have been.

"Foxy was amazing. He was always the kids' favorites back at those older Pizza Places. But Roxy…you are not him. You are Roxxane Wolf. The greatest racer in the entirety of Fazbear Entertainment."

"Freddy…I am the only racer in Fazbear Entertainment."

"Exactly, so that means you are the best!" Freddy happily said, which warmed Roxy's soul. "But Roxy…" Freddy placed a hand onto Roxy's shoulder, "You are amazing, Roxy. Everything about you is amazing. Your racing skills, your keytar playing, and best of all, your style. Do not try to live up to Foxy's name. Live up to your own name. Make your own name. Make sure everyone knows, you are Roxxane Wolf. And I am your friend….and I apologize if I was distant after Bonnie. We all have our demons, and I chose to selfishly fight mine…alone." Roxy shook her head before grabbing Freddy's hand.

"Well, you're not alone anymore." Roxy brought Freddy into one big robotic hug. After the hug broke up, Roxy looked a tad different. Although, none of the differences were physical. She looked the same. She had the same voice. She was still Roxy. But her soul changed. Her soul was anew.

"Roxy, I could use your help with something."

"Of course, Freddy. Anything." Freddy escorted Roxy over to Bonnie Bowling. He knew the others were still behind the stage curtains. He sighed, knowing he was taking a big risk and took Roxy to the curtain.

"You may move the curtains." There was clearly a hesitance, but soon enough, the curtains moved to show Gregory and the other two boys.

"I should've expected you, Freddy, to be caring for the boy." Gregory took a nervous step back as there was a moment of silence, to see how Roxy would react to seeing the boy she was supposed to be hunting for right in front of her. "You really eluded me, kid. And I have you know….it won't happen again." Gregory took more and more steps back before bumping into the back wall. "But I will only go against you on the raceway. And I'm sorry if I scared you. I don't know what was coming over me." The three boys took huge sighs of relief.

"Roxy, I like you a lot better when you're not trying to get me," Gregory happily said.

"Yeah, I'd imagine so," Roxy laughed. Roxy then crossed her arms and looked at Freddy. "Now what exactly do you need? I have some important fans to go back to."

"Fans?" Ness asked. Gregory leaned toward him.

"Her mirror."

"Oh."

"You can see things differently than us, correct?" Freddy asked her.

"I guess so. Why?" Freddy looked at Lucas. He stepped forward and cleared his throat.

"Uh..have you seen anything weird? Like after hours, things that normally would not happen." Roxy sighed. It was a sigh that said…a lot. She did know things that never really happened. Things that were stored in her mind, yet only now was she able to reflect.

"Yes. It was….It was Bonnie." Freddy let in a longing breath.

"What about him?" Freddy asked.

"He was acting weird. He wasn't walking normally. And…I think someone was inside of him."

"What? Inside?" Gregory yelled out. Roxy nodded his head.

"All of us, aside from the Daycare Attendant, have built-in compartments inside of us, for various uses. Bonnie was no exception," Freddy explained. Roxy nodded her head.

"I don't remember who was in it. But I know where they were going." Roxy looked around at the group before stopping on Freddy. "They were going to Monty's Gator Golf."

"Monty…" Freddy's head glitched. Twitching a creepy and eerie twitch. A soft yet…very pain-filled groan came from the bear.

"F-Freddy?" Gregory softly said as he placed a hand on his arm. The twitching stopped as he looked down at Gregory.

"I am…sorry, Gregory. I do not know what came over me."

"Bonnie was a friend, I understand."

"I feel like we're taking a backseat in all of this," Lucas whispered to Ness, who simply shrugged. Everyone's eyes were then centered on them, which caused a ghostly chill to run through their spines.

"Boys. This is a messy situation. Fazbear Entertainment has many issues…past and present. Roxy, myself, and poor little Gregory are all mixed up in this. But you two are not. You two can leave and never come back. You two can forget about everything happening here, and live your lives," Freddy said, his voice sounding….less mechanical and robotic and slightly more human.

"Freddy…" Gregory softly said, never seeing this soft side of him before. Granted they only just met, but Gregory felt a certain…connection to him.

"We will not judge you for leaving. We will not be mad. We will understand. The crime of Fazbear Entertainment will draw you down, break you down….change you. It's dangerous. If you want to help us….we'll gladly accept it. But you two needed to know the consequences of what could happen." Ness and Lucas looked at each other. Ness sighed.

"Just yesterday we were doing our daily job at the grocery store. Porky came in and was a grade-a douchebag. And now we're here…sentient animatronics….missing children….and who knows what else," Ness started. He looked back at Freddy and Roxy. "Our life….is normal. It's….too normal. I think I speak for us both when I say…doing those basic things never felt right. I feel right here. Helping. I don't know why I feel like that. But risks come with everything. To ignore the risks, the consequences…would be stupid. But we're aware. And we'll help. Everyone has a chance to be more than they are. It's time to prove we are too." Lucas snickered a bit, causing Ness to shoot a glance at him.

"You've never spoken like that before. Where'd you get that from? A book? Movie? Trying to copy Captain America or something?" Lucas asked.

"I….I don't know. It just came to me. And thanks for ruining the moment, asshole." Lucas rolled his eyes before looking at the robots.

"But everything he said is correct. We were brought here for a reason. And even though we didn't come up with the idea of coming here. We are coming up with the idea to help you."

"Well then!" Gregory said as he stomped and had Freddy open his hatch, "We have a golf course to go to." Gregory entered the hatch and they started walking off. Roxy leaned down toward Lucas.

"Just so you know, I'm the best golfer here. So don't even try to challenge me, kid."

"Name's Lucas."

"I like kid more."

"Not even a kid."

"Still sticking with kid….kid." Freddy chuckled.

"Don't ever change. Roxy," Freddy said.

"Don't plan on it, Fred."

They made it to Monty's Gator Golf. Roxy crossed her arms as she saw the greenery of the lobby. "Who would've thought such an aggressive gator would have…golf as his passion," she said to herself. Gregory hopped out of Freddy's chest and walked over to the elevator. He looked back at Roxy.

"Thanks for giving us access to this," he said. Roxy shrugged.

"I bet now I'm your favorite, right?" she said with a quick wink.

"You're helpful…but also crazy to think you'd be my favorite."

"Wow, rude!"

"You were telling me how I had no friends and that no one would miss me all that I've known you so far." Roxy stayed silent as Freddy's eyes went to her.

"That...ok, fair enough."

"Will we all be able to fit in there?" Lucas asked as the elevator opened up. Gregory ran over to Freddy.

"I'm sure we will. You guys are small."

"What's that supposed to mean!?" Ness asked.

"I'm just saying. You guys aren't really the image of….men."

"Gregory! Stop being rude," Freddy ordered. Gregory rolled his eyes before getting back into Freddy's chest.

"Such a snappy kid he is," Lucas said, thinking Gregory couldn't hear him.

"I HEARD YOU!" Gregory yelled, making Lucas jump. The group entered the elevator and started it. Ness started to bob his head at the elevator music before screaming loudly at the sudden voice.

"Wh-what!?" he yelled. Roxy just laughed hysterically.

"You boys are so jumpy. It's the mandatory welcoming, you dimwits," Roxy explained.

"You could've explained that without making fun of us, you know that?"

"Yeah. Didn't want to though." The elevator stopped and opened up. Ness and Lucas walked out first in utter awe. It was pretty much a jungle. It had trees, running water, a lot of robots, and, of course, the golf courses. Gregory jumped out of Freddy.

"Freddy. I'm gonna go grab the Fazcam since we're here," Gregory said as he stretched his arms and legs.

"Will you be safe on your own, Gregory?" Freddy asked as he placed a hand in Gregory's hair. Gregory smiled softly before nodding his head. He brought out the Fazer Blaster, making Lucas huff.

"You really hurt my eyes with that," Lucas grumbled.

"Oh suck it up, Buttercup. Just a little light in your eyes."

"Gregory! Apologize to him," Freddy ordered. Gregory groaned before crossing his arms.

"I'm…sorry." Lucas giggled.

"No worries," Lucas smiled, making Gregory roll his eyes. He started walking off, hesitating as he seemed to have thought for a moment. He shook his head and continued on his way. "So, who are we looking for exactly?"

"Monty is easy to spot. He's a big and buff alligator," Roxy said, as she looked around.

"He is also green, just like every bit of this place. He will be quite difficult to spot. So, you will likely need to listen for him. He is not one to be quiet." Ness and Lucas left the two robots to start the search as the robots went in a different direction for the search.

Gregory made it to the Security Office and found the camera. He cackled to himself as he grabbed the camera. He exited the security office when he heard "Hey, Little Guy!" in Monty's very distinguishable voice. He shot around and saw him in the door of some other office area. Gregory activated the camera….but nothing happened. Monty chuckled. "Not a bright one you are. Sunglasses for the win, kid." Monty moved the glasses down a bit and winked before readjusting them and cracking his knuckles. "I'll give you a headstart, kid." Gregory didn't react at first, still just trying to properly drain in the information that no item he had would help and that Freddy wouldn't make it in time. Monty cleared his throat. "If I were you kid, I'd start running."

"R-right…I have legs." He ran off, hearing Monty's heavy footsteps behind him. He made it into the prize counter area within the golf course, which of course, wouldn't have slowed Monty down so he needed to continue running. He left the counter, not bothering to dodge the S.T.A.F.F bots. He pressed a button on his Faz Watch, to call Freddy over when he knew that his stamina was running out. He shot around as he was trying to catch his breath. "M-Monty, p-please, don't hurt me!"

"Nonsense, Little Guy, intruders don't get off easily." Monty was getting closer and closer and soon even grabbed Gregory.

"L-like what happened with Bonnie!" Monty stared blankly at Gregory. Gregory swore he could see the red in Monty's eyes flicker a bit.

"Bonnie? Haven't….heard his name in a while."

"Put him down, Monty!" Freddy yelled out, with Roxy behind him.

"J-Jesus, Freddy, when did you get s-so fast…" Roxy questioned, seemingly out of breath? Which was weird for a robot. Monty, shocked, put the boy down and held up his hands.

"Freddy? What do you want?" Gregory ran over to Freddy and climbed up his body and sat on his shoulders as he stuck his tongue out at the gator.

"Why would you grab Gregory like that?" he asked.

"He's intruding. Part of our programming."

"Is destroying Bonnie also a part of our programming?" Gregory got picked up by Roxy.

"Come on, Kid, we should leave them to their….talk." Roxy walked off, Gregory also made sure to have his hand on the camera in case he needed it. Freddy walked closer to Monty.

"Freddy? I didn't do anything to Bonnie."

"He was last seen heading over here."

"Freddy, just because-" Monty was cut off by Freddy's head twitching and glitching. "Freddy, what's wrong?"

"Nothing is wrong."

"Freddy, you really think I had something to do with what happened with Bonnie?"

"Yes!"

"OK fine. He did come over here. But I didn't do anything, you have to believe me." Freddy crossed his arms and sighed. He never saw this side of Monty. Monty was always aggressive and brutal. "Freddy, buddy, you've got to believe me."

"I want to, Monty. But I can't. Not unless you prove you didn't do anything." Monty looked down.

"He taught me how to play the guitar. I was slowly becoming less and less aggressive. He taught me that the show must go on, no matter what. He was not just your best friend, Fred. He was mine as well. That's your problem. You're too high up on your horse to realize that we were grieving him too. Have you ever even decided to check up on Chica?" Freddy looked down. Monty took the glasses off and looked at them with a sigh. "These were his. You never noticed?"

"N-no."

"While he gave you a bowling ball, I got his shades. And while I do look super good in them, they're also a reminder of my friend who has been lost. So I would never hurt him, not willingly at least."

"I'm…I'm sorry, Monty, I guess I just let my emotions get the better of me." Monty stepped forward, the red in his eyes fully gone, and patted his back.

"Don't worry, pal, at least you know now." Roxy soon ran over to the two of them, with Gregory on his shoulder. "Hey, little guy, sorry I gave ya a fright earlier."

"That's not what's important. It's almost the end of the hour, we must get into a charging station," Roxy said. Freddy looked at Monty.

"We're trying to find out what truly happened. Will you help us?"

"Of course. Anyone who messes with the Bon, messes with the Gator!" He laughed a bit before walking off toward his charging station. Gregory climbs into Freddy as he and Roxy separate to go to their charging stations. Fredy entered the charging station. He lied to Monty. Part of him still didn't trust Monty.

"So, did the gator do it?"

"I do not know, Gregory"

"Dang. This sucks! I wish things were simple."

"You and me both, Gregory. But we'll figure it out, together, ok?" Gregory smiled, feeling very comfortable inside Freddy. He never had this type of companionship before, it really did feel nice.

"Say, Freddy?"

"Yes, Superstar?"

"Uhm, so at the turn of the hour The Daycare Attendant comes out, right?"

"Yes."

"What about Ness and Lucas?"

"Oh…Oh no."

Ness was rubbing his eyes. He and Lucas had been knocked out by something. He sat up and yawned a bit before seeing….a big moon face right in front of him. He screamed loudly, waking Lucas up. "Wh-what's wrong, Ness?"

"THE FUCK IS THAT!"

"Foul Language will not be tolerated in the daycare~," The moon-faced animatronic said before grabbing the collar of Ness's shirt. He was so strong and had so big fingers that he ended up choking Ness. Ness's chokes and cries for pain echoed within Lucas's head. He tried to free Ness, but the moon's grip was too strong. He looked around, panicked about what to do, when he found a stack of something. He didn't quite know what it was, but it was close enough to knock onto him. He ran over and knocked it over. He missed the Moon, but he still got its attention.

"NO! Clean up! Clean Up!" He let go of Ness and walked over to the mess. Lucas grabbed Ness's hand and ran off into the play area.

"Are you ok Ness?" Ness rubbed his neck as he looked down at the animatronic fixing the mess.

"Where the he-...where are we?" he asked.

"He said the daycare earlier."

"This is a daycare? I wouldn't even bring Baby Hitler here, Jesus." Lucas brought up the watch.

"Freddy? Gregory? Hello?"

"Oh, you two are safe, thank goodness," Freddy's voice said from over the watch. "Where are you?"

"The daycare I think."

"Oh no. Are the lights off?" Gregory asked.

"Yes."

"Shit!"

"Language Gregory!" Freddy said.

"S-sorry. You guys, you need to turn the generators on. The sun is creepy but he's not dangerous like the moon."

"The generators? H-how are we going to find them?" Ness asked.

"They're in the play areas. There's only 5."

"Good luck, you two," Freddy said.

"What did we do to get ourselves into, Lucas?" Ness asked, already fed up with the place.

"Whatever it is, we agreed to it."

"I'm starting to regret it." The two of them walked around in the play area, climbing, crouching, and sliding, but it was difficult since they didn't have a flashlight. Soon enough, they wound up back where they started. "Damn it."

"He's gone." Ness looked out and saw that he was indeed no longer at the mess. He was after them. "Ness, we need to hurry up and turn the generators on. We need to split up."

"What! Have you never seen a horror movie before? Splitting up is the worst idea."

"All we need to do is turn on 5 generators. The faster we do that the faster this nightmare is over."

"I-"

"Bad children must be PUNISHED!" Moon said as he suddenly appeared outside the play area, having climbed up it. This scared the two of them, making them split up anyway. Lucas ran out of the play area, getting the attention of Moon. Moon jumped off the side of the play area, having a wire from the roof attached to his latch, and started, seemingly, flying through the area.

"Oh, you've got to be kidding me!" Lucas said after seeing the supposedly flying animatronic. He ran off into the other play area. He saw Moon land and crawl after him. The creepy cackling, the unsettling cracking of his robotic joints, the ominous red eyes that glowed from his moon face.

"Bad children must be found~." Lucas ran through the playpen, trying his best to make as little noise as possible. That was when he heard something behind him. He shot around and started walking backward. His breathing was growing more anxious and nervous. Soon enough, he bumped into something…something hard…something metallic. He gulped. He closed his eyes.

"Please be a weird metal sex doll. Please be a weird metal sex doll." He turned around and opened his eyes. "Damn!" Moon pinned him down and started wiggling his fingers toward him. Lucas looked around, in a panic, to find something. That was when he finally found a generator right next to him. He was able to reach it and turn it on, but it did nothing. "N-Ness! Distraction!" Moon wrapped his fingers around Lucas's throat. But it wasn't choking him.

"What?" Moon tried harder and harder and harder, but Lucas was still….fine. He was just as confused as Moon was though. Soon enough, it could be heard the falling of those block things, which got the attention of Moon. "NO!" He let go of Lucas and ran away. Lucas sat up and rubbed his neck.

"Why wasn't I….?"

"Lucas? You ok?" Ness said over the Faz Watch.

"Y-yes. One generator down. Four more to go." Lucas didn't have time to think about why he wasn't actually being choked out, he needed to find the other generators.

Ness slid down a slide and found a generator. He chuckled before turning it on. "Another one!" He climbed back up the slide, but halfway through he saw an ominous red glow bouncing off the walls of the slide. He knew whose eyes they were. He climbed back down and needed to think of something fast. The distraction didn't distract him for as long as he thought it would. He was currently in a dead-end, the only way out was via the slide, which currently had an infestation of a killer moon animatronic. He quickly saw the light get closer and closer to the bottom of the slide. He needed to think fast. He climbed up to the roof of the dead-end and allowed for the red light to make it to the end of the slide. He was hoping the Moon would leave after not seeing him, but he didn't. Instead, he entered the dead-end.

Ness quickly lost his grip and fell down on top of him. He panicked and ran up the slide, trying to get away, but his foot was grabbed by Moon. He kicked at Moon's face, but it didn't do too much to his strong metal face. Moon simply laughed maniacally. "Ness!" Lucas's voice said from outside the play area. He tossed over a stick that looked to be a child's play toy. He handed it to Ness, who was able to hit Moon with it. Despite it being foam, it still made Moon let him go. Ness was able to run up the slide and actually followed the path a little more and found the third generator, turning it on before running off once more to get away from Moon. "Only two more, Luke!"

Lucas ran into another play area. "Jeez, this daycare is bigger than my future." He walked around and quickly found a generator. He turned it on. "Ok, one more, Ness." Lucas traveled through the play area. He kept on hearing the cackling and chuckling of the evil moon, yet his mind was focused on one thing, getting the last generator. While running around he ran into Moon head-on. However, he wasn't as scared as he was prior.

"Naughty boy, naughty boy~." Moon ran up, very quickly and grabbed Lucas's Neck, pinning him against one of the walls of the play area. However, this was a part of a plan to distract the moon in order to leave the final generator open. "It's past your bedtime…you must be punished!~" Moon tightened his grip on Lucas's throat, but once more, it didn't affect him.

"Heh, you don't learn, do ya?" Soon enough, the final generator is turned on and the lights around the daycare turn on, making Moon let go of him and fall to the ground. Lucas watched as the Moon's colors changed. Some rays came out to make the face look more like the sun than the moon. Soon enough, the transformation was complete. Sun sat up and looked around.

"OOOO NEW FRIEND!" He ran over and hugged Lucas. Lucas coughed a bit at the sudden pressure around him.

"Y-yeah, new f-friend…y-you're hurting me." Sun let go of him and soon enough, Ness appeared next to him.

"So glad it's over."

"What's over?" Sun asked.

"Hey, listen, uh…Sun. You know of someone named Bonnie?"

"OOO BONNIE! I LOVE BONNIE!" Sun chuckled a bit as he sat down, seemingly remembering the times he had with him. "My good friend Bonnie came into the daycare and had a kid with him, we played for a while."

"Had a kid? Why would Bonnie have a kid?"

"How should I know," Lucas shrugged. Lucas looked back at Sun. "Uhm, you do remember that he was decommissioned, right?"

"WHAT! NO NO NO! BONNIE WAS NOT! He's in the beautiful land above the skies! Vannesa told me so!"

"That means he's dead."

"WHAT?!"

"Vanessa lied."

"NO NO NO NO! She wouldn't!"

"Yes. She did. Come see Freddy with us, you trust Freddy right?"

"OOOO I LOVE FREDDY! HE'S MY BESTEST FRIEND IN ALL THE LAND!"

"Then you can hear him say it. Come with us."

"Okie dokie!" crawled out of the play area. Ness went to Lucas.

"He's perfect for the daycare huh?"

"Very much." The two of them crawled out and exited the daycare. They contacted Freddy about where he was, and that they were able to convince Sun to come with them. They walked over toward the Atrium.

Freddy and the others, including Monty himself, were in the Atrium. Monty wasn't really a part of the group just yet. Freddy's suspicions from earlier weren't easily gotten rid of, and Monty knew that. "Come on, Freddy-"

"Quiet," Freddy said. Monty thought they had made progress and got past this, but clearly, he thought wrong.

"Is Freddy usually this bossy?" Gregory asked Roxy. She shook her head. She walked up to him.

"Freddy. I think it's time you trusted Monty," Roxy said as she placed a hand on Freddy's shoulder. Freddy didn't seem like he was willing to budge. He was willing to trust everyone, but his feelings of grief for losing Bonnie were clouding his judgments. He was getting selfish, only really thinking of himself. He was becoming more and more human, and thus, more and more tainted with human faults…like the failure to keep emotions from affecting actions. Gregory walked over to Monty.

"Kid, come on, help a gator out." That was when the message from Ness and Lucas came, and Freddy got distracted. Gregory looked at Monty.

"We need to prove your innocence."

"Y-you believe me, kid?"

"I wouldn't say that. But I want to know the truth. Is there anyone who would know?"

"Well….Bonnie was in the East Arcade. There could be a clue there." Gregory looked at Freddy and sighed.

"Sorry, Freddy." He looked back at Monty and stood up straight. "Come on. Let's go." Gregory climbed onto Monty's strong and broad shoulders as the gator was able to slip away from the group. Roxy was still trying to talk to Freddy, but his resolve was tight. Soon enough, Ness and Lucas arrived with the Daycare Attendant.

"WOOHOOOO! MY BEST FRIEND FREDDY!" Sun ran over and brought him into a huge hug. Roxy simply rolled her eyes. She never liked the Daycare Attendant. He was always too annoying.

"What about me, huh?" she asked, already feeling underappreciated. Sun let go of Freddy and looked at Roxy.

"I hate you. You're banned from the daycare, remember." Roxy gasped as if taking offense.

"I drove my go-kart into the daycare once and now all of a sudden I'm the worst? I have you know, mister, I am the best here! So having me banned is like having a celebrity banned!"

"If I had a tongue to stick out at you, I would."

"I can't believe you!"

"Hey, Freddy," Lucas greeted as he and Ness approached him.

"Wow, you were able to tame the Daycare Attendant?" Freddy asked.

"I wouldn't say he's tamed," Roxy scoffed. It was Sun's turn to gasp, but he did it much more to the extreme.

"HOW DARE YOU! I am so tame," he proudly said before leaning down toward Ness, "What's Tame mean?"

"Don't worry about it," he simply responded. Ness then looked around at the group and noticed a significant person missing. "Hey, where's Gregory?" Freddy looked around and finally noticed he was gone. And so was Monty. He growled a bit.

"I am an idiot… How could I turn my back against him…" He looked down and clenched his fist. "I'm going to find-"

"Freddy! It's Vanessa. You need to get these boys to safety!" Roxy said. Freddy looked up and saw Vanessa's light coming slowly down the Atrium. He then looked at Ness and Lucas.

"B-But Gregory…"

"Don't worry about him. Gregory is smart. He'll probably have a plan." Sun crossed his arms.

"I hate both of you. Meanies." Freddy sighed before picking the two boys up and running off.

"Better behave yourself, Sunny~," Roxy giggled.

"Don't call me that!" It didn't take much longer for Vanessa to make it to the two of them, shining her flashlight in their faces.

"Sun? What are you doing outside the Daycare."

"What? Can't a handsome Sun have a life outside the daycare?" Vanessa just grew confused as she shook her head, not wanting to deal with him. She never understood why he, of all animatronics, was made for the Daycare. Poor kids…..poor kids indeed. Vanessa looked at Roxy.

"Roxy. Have you seen the boy?"

"No."

"You're not lying to me, are you?"

"What makes you think that?"

"Because you have yet to claim you are the best."

"I don't need to claim that, people already know that by looking at my magnificent form, my beautiful face, and my luscious hips," she gloated as she thrusted her hips to the side. Vanessa, once again, confused, turned around.

"I swear, the day these animatronics grow the ability to fuck, is the day I leave for good. I swear it…" Vanessa shook her head as she walked off. Soon enough, however, a knife fell out of her pocket, and Sun freaked a bit.

"WEEE WOOO WEE WOO! DANGEROUS WEAPON! DANGEROUS WEAPON! PROTECT KIDS! REMOVE DANGEROUS WEAPON! CALLING AUTHORITIES!" Vanessa jumped before turning around, finding the knife.

"Damn protective measures. Sun, cancel the call! The weapon is gone," she said as she picked the knife up and placed it back into her pocket. Roxy tilted her head. Why did she have a knife? Vanessa looked at the suspecting animatronic and chuckled nervously.

"Chica was in the kitchen and dropped the knife," she nervously spat out before quickly turning around and walking off. Once she was out of the Atrium, Roxy looked at Sun, who finally calmed down from the protocol.

"Sun. I don't like you."

"I don't like you."

"But I don't like her more."

"Same."

"We need to go check in with Chica. See if she really was the reason she had the knife."

"DANGEROUS WEAPON! DANGEROUS WEAPON! CALLING-"

"N-no, I-I didn't mean knife. I meant….food prep item." Sun calmed down and nodded his head. They walked off to where Chica would most definitely be, the underground kitchen. She loved that place, it was fully stocked with pizza materials, and she would love to chomp down on those and the trash.

Gregory and Monty made it to the east arcade. Just as they expected, it was full of arcade machines. "Gregory!" Freddy's voice came from the Faz Watch.

"Freddy?" Gregory responded.

"Where are you, Gregory?"

"Don't worry, Freddy. Monty can protect me."

"I've got this Fred."

"What are you guys doing?"

"Finding evidence that Monty didn't attack Bonnie."

"But Gregory-"

"Freddy. I don't like seeing you upset. I don't want you to be mad at your friends."

"Gregory….ok. Good luck, Superstar." Gregory smiled before looking forward.

"Alright, Little Guy, where to first?"

"Hmmm not sure. There's a security office nearby, right?"

"Yes. You were there when Roxy and I were…."

"Right. I forgive you for that."

"You do?"

"Nope. Just trying to make you feel better." Monty chuckled a bit as he walked, with Gregory still on his shoulders, toward the security office, able to walk through the many gates. They walked through the halls, past the elevator, and to the security office. Gregory jumped off as he ran to the computer. However, as he probably should've thought about, he knew nothing. Monty walked up to his side and looked down at it.

"This stupid thing. I hate it."

"Don't break it!" The computer wasn't turning on. Monty placed his hand on the monitor and banged on it, and suddenly it turned on. "Oh, wow, you really did it."

"Heh. I may not be the sharpest tool in the shed, but I have my moments," Monty chuckled to himself. The desktop was pretty basic. Gregory needed to find a way to access the old footage of the cameras. Monty stood up and started looking around the office. "Always found it odd how many security officers are in here." He walked off and looked around some of the boxes. He left the office and looked at one of the arcade machines. "Even machines in here?" He walked over to one and slapped it, to try and get it working as he did with the monitor…but only made the screen shatter. "Shit."

He looked down and saw the shreds of the machine. He whistled as he kicked the shreds under the arcade machine. He looked back at the now broken arcade machine. "Ugh, how did I break this with a slap? Stupid machine," he said as he kneed the machine, breaking it more. "...fuck. Man, I am destructive." He looked at the dent and saw something weird. He tilted his head. It seemed to be a floppy disk. The disk was purple, all purple, and it even seemed glitchy. He grabbed the disk and turned it around to see if it had a name. It just said "Afton". "What the hell?" He walked over to Gregory.

"FUCK! I dunno how to work this stupid computer!"

"Language," Monty said, trying to copy Freddy's voice. He seemed to do a good enough job too.

"S-Sorry Freddy!" Monty laughed as he walked over and patted the boy's back.

"No worries, kid. Cussing is fun. I think you should do it more often," he said with a wink, wanting it to annoy Freddy. Gregory looked down at the Floppy Disk.

"What's that?" Monty brought it up and shrugged.

"Not sure. I just found it." Gregory saw the name on it. "Afton". He recognized the name.

"Afton….I heard that name before?"

"Really?"

"Yeah, back in the stee-...back home, I-I see in the news stuff about Afton," Gregory said. He was homeless. He didn't really have any memory of where he was from or his parents, or really even his name. Gregory was just what he came up with and he liked the sound of it.

He focused back on the computer and searched the name up in the web browser. The first thing that came up was "The murders of William Afton." "Murders? Haven't heard of murders in town."

"That's 'cause you're stuck here in the mall." Gregory continued his research of the name "Afton" when he found some interesting stuff. Someone named Micheal Afton had bought a Freddy Fazbear's pizza place not long before it burned down, but no body was found. Monty looked at the overview picture of Freddy Fazbear's Pizza Place.

"Uh, something about that place feels…familiar." Before he could elaborate, the screen glitched and Vanny appeared on the screen.

"Are you having fun yet?~?" she asked through the screen.

"C-crap!"

"What is it?"

"It's Vanny."

"Who?"

"J-just…I need to find a place to hide!" Gregory ran around for a second before finding a garbage can. He jumped in and Monty decided to help him stay hidden and thus stood in front of the trash can. What he didn't see, however, was Vanny skipping into the security office. She went right up to Monty. Gregory's vision was really messing up, he needed to close his eyes before he received a headache. But, at the same time, a high-pitched hissing of sorts was playing in his head. He covered his eyes and gritted his teeth before the noise started going away. He let out a sigh of relief as he opened his eyes to see his vision was back to normal.

He carefully popped his head up and scanned the area, and saw she was no longer in there with them. He jumped out and climbed back onto Monty's shoulders. "Ok, let's just continue looking around for possible clues."

"You are a mysterious one, kid." Gregory simply chuckled proudly before Monty started carefully walking off, per Gregory's further instructions.

Roxy and Sun made it down to the kitchen. "I'm telling you, get upgrades to allow you to move your mouth. You look very creepy," Roxy said. Sun had his arms crossed and huffed.

"Kids like me."

"Kids probably fear you."

"Quiet!" Roxy looked around for Chica. She knew she would be down there, she was essentially always down there. She never understood how an animatronic would eat, but she never bothered with trying to go against her on this thing, she could get very crazy for the food…or trash she wanted to eat.

Sun walked over to the pizza sauce spitter and turned it on, spraying some pizza sauce down. He giggled. "Hey, stop messing around. We're here to find Chica, not play around." Sun simply crossed his arms when they both suddenly started hearing some crunching. Roxy knew what this was. She carefully walked through the kitchen. Sun was copying her, but he was slightly more clumsy with it. He even ended up tripping over some pots and pans, causing a loud cluck to come from somewhere in the kitchen.

"Gregory~," Chica's voice sounded from somewhere in the kitchen. Roxy glared at Sun. He stood up and raised his hands.

"That wasn't me." Roxy rolled her eyes and started carefully looking around. She didn't want Chica to accidentally act aggressively against her or even against Sun. Sun began sneaking around as well and soon saw Chica in the distance trying to find the person she thought was a young boy. "HI CHICA!" Sun yelled, making her head spin a full 180. Her eyes were normal at first, but as her body caught up with her head, they turned red and she bolted toward Sun. Sun lowered his arm. "C-Chica?" Roxy stood in front of Sun, making Chica stop.

"Chica, snap out of it."

"Out of the way, Roxy!" Chica grumbled as she put a hand on Roxy's face, trying to push her away, but Roxy wasn't budging.

"No, Chica. Snap out of it! This isn't you."

"I said, out of the way!" She put both hands on Roxy's face and pushed her away, making her trip over some pots and pans and land into the trash compactor. She stomped toward Sun, whose childish nature was messing with her head, making her want to attack him. Sun was walking back.

"C-Chica…i-it's me, your bestest friend!" Chica's head glitched a bit. Sun soon backed up into something. This something caused a loud noise, seemingly snapping Chica out of it. "What was that?" Chica tilted her head and looked behind Sun at what he bumped into, the button to the trash compactor. She then remembered what she had just done to Roxy. She shot around and tried to warn her, but she wasn't fast enough and the trash compactor came down, crushing Roxy. The compactor went up and the one from the side came out and crushed her again. Chica covered her mouth as she saw Roxy's eyes pop out of her head and fall to the ground rolling toward Sun who just screamed. The compactor went back and Chica walked to Roxy.

"R-Roxy…I-I'm sorry…" Roxy slowly looked up at her.

"I-it's…o-ok….go…protect Gregory." Soon enough, she fell down into the sewers. Chica stood up and sniffed.

"I-I killed her."

"To be fair, we're robots…can't really be killed." Chica shot her head back at Sun, who simply tried to cover his wide smiling mouth with his hands, but his smile was too big. Chica looked down and grabbed her eyes. Sun stepped forward and placed a hand on her shoulder. "To be fair….er….Roxy was mean."

"You don't know how to shut up, do you?"

"Nope! Part of my charm," he chuckled happily. Chica gripped the eyeballs tightly.

"I'll protect him, Roxy. I promise." She looked back at Sun. "Let's go find Freddy."

"Yessiree!" He started walking out of the kitchen. Chica simply looked at the trash compactor and sighed.

"I'm sorry, Roxy….I really am." She looked forward once more. "It should've been me. But…it's not like it'll be the first time we die…"

"CHICA! YOU COMING!" Chica jumped a bit before following Sun.

Ness, Lucas, and Freddy were traveling through the Pizzaplex, with Freddy constantly taking looks at the Fazwatch, still very worried about Gregory being with Monty. Ness was starting to grow worried for the robot. He looked back at Lucas. "You think his need to protect the kid is…a bit obsessive?" Ness asked. Lucas looked at Freddy and shrugged.

The three of them continued until making it to Roxy's Raceway. Lucas stared at it in awe. "You guys have a race course?" Lucas questioned. Freddy looked away from the watch and up at the name.

"Yes. Here at the Pizzaplex, we have an array of fun activities for everyone in the family." They entered the Raceway, or rather, the hallway toward the raceway. It had a lot of different gates. The boys tilted their heads.

"Weird. Why is it blocked off?"

"It is under construction. There have been some weird situations going down there. Parts of the ground sinking down, weird power outages, and Roxy just….being Roxy."

"Well, how're we going to get in there?" Ness questioned. As if on cue Monty and Gregory finally showed up.

"Hi, Freddy!" Gregory called out. Freddy looked over and practically forced a smile on his robotic face, seeing him safe.

"Gregory!" Gregory jumped off Monty and ran to him.

"We saw something weird, Freddy!"

"You did?" Freddy looked at Monty.

"There was a weird floppy disk with the name "Afton" on it," Monty said. "The smart lil' guy here looked up the name, and apparently someone named William Afton killed some kids." Gregory climbed onto Freddy's shoulders.

"Weird. I've never heard of him."

"Same."

"Hey, Monty, think you can break those gates down?" Lucas asked. Monty looked at the gates and snickered.

"Easy." He strutted over to the gate and easily slammed his claws into it, breaking it open instantly. Monty turned around and chuckled. "Give me something more challenging next time." Freddy walked over to Monty, placing a hand on his shoulder, before walking through the now broken gateway. The other two boys soon joined and all of them entered Roxy's Raceway. Lucas and Ness, mainly Lucas, were in awe. It was much larger than they had expected. It even had a beauty salon.

"What are we doing here exactly?" Freddy asked.

"You said that parts of the ground would sink down, correct?" Ness asked Freddy, who responded with a nod of his head. "Then, there has to be a reason, and I have a feeling that this reason isn't a simple sinkhole underneath the building."

"You really think there's a different reason?" Lucas asked. He nodded.

"Ok, so let's split up and look around, shall we?" They all agreed to this. Monty went with Gregory and Freddy to go look in the direction of the beauty salon while Ness and Lucas went to go look around the party garages. The party garages seemed rather normal.

While in one of the garages, Ness groaned before plopping down to sit. "My feet hurt, we've been walking for so long!" Lucas groaned as he turned around and sat next to him.

"Well, we've got to finish what we're meant to do here, then we can go home and rest for however long we want." Ness simply sighed before lying down, looking up and the ceiling of the garage.

"And what exactly is that thing we're meant to do? We still don't know. We're just hoping our theory is true." Lucas laid down next to him, their bodies not even an inch apart.

"What if we're right?" Ness looked at Lucas with a serious look in his eyes.

"And what if we're not? We did all of this for, what, nothing?

"I wouldn't really say we did it for nothing." Ness rolled his eyes. He sometimes hated Lucas's optimism. Sometimes he wished Lucas would just be pessimistic, just like him. "Plus, there is a chance we're right. There is a chance that what we're doing is the exact thing we were meant to do." Ness looked back at Lucas.

"But why us? Why couldn't it be two cops? Why did it have to be me and you to have to do this?" Lucas looked up at the ceiling and started to think. He was trying to find something to say, but he truly couldn't. He too didn't understand why the two of them, seemingly normal humans, were chosen to enter this….crazy world.

"I don't know, Ness. But we were chosen for a reason." He looked back at Ness, with that hopeful look in his eyes. "Haven't you ever felt like you weren't what you thought you were? That this life we live isn't…our lives?" Ness's eyes lowered. He couldn't think of a time he felt like that…until recently. Only when he first entered the Pizzaplex did he feel like his life wasn't truly his life. Lucas sat up and stretched his neck. "We just need to take the moments we have in stride and do the best we can with the cards that were dealt to us." Lucas jumped up and looked down at Ness. "Now come on, we've got a mission to complete." Ness grew a small smile as he stood up slowly.

"I hate you sometimes." Lucas simply giggled. The two of them left the garage and saw, in the corner, was a door. They walked toward the door and were expecting it to be locked, but when Ness tried to open it…it did just that. It opened. The two boys looked at each other before entering. It was a staircase downward. Upon going down the staircase they saw some rubble from seemingly the times the raceway would sink down. That area made the two boys feel unsafe, like they weren't supposed to be there. Despite that feeling, they continued. They ended up finding another gate that required Monty to break through.

Behind the gate was an elevator. The boys wondered where that elevator could possibly take them to, but before they could think too long on it, the ding that notifies people that the elevator made its destination sounded from it. The two of them jumped back and got into fighting positions as if they stood a chance against whatever it was that was about to pop out of the elevator. "You go for the head, I got their crotch."

"Way to sound rapey," Lucas said. The doors slid open and out stepped…the purple shirtless man from the grocery store. The two of them lowered their arms.

"Hey, we know you." He walked through the gates without any issues and stopped right in front of the boys. The man let off a disgusting odor. The odor of bodily decay.

"I suspected you two would get involved in this mess," he said. His British accent sounded worn. It looked and sounded like this man had been through a lot. He smiled, his teeth, if they could even be considered teeth, were decayed and simple stumps. The man was the opposite of an attractive male. He extended his arm. "Time for a proper introduction. Hello there. The name is Micheal. Micheal Afton."

"Afton? L-like the child murderer?" Ness asked as he readied his fists once more.

"Sadly, yes. But that is my father. I have been…trying to make up for what he's done."

"And how's that going?" Lucas asked. Micheal sighed.

"Not well." He walked away and sat on a broken pillar. "I have been going from place to place, trying to free the kids from their robotic prisons, but each time I seem to fail. I thought I would need to get rid of my father….but even those attempts failed."

"Wait wait wait. I'm going to need you to slow down," Lucas said as the two of them walked over to sit in front of Micheal.

"Can you give us a rundown on everything?"

"That is impossible. I can not simplify my father's actions into a simple synopsis."

"Then give us the long story."

"Are you sure? What you are asking is…a lot."

"Sure, go on," Lucas said. Micheal sighed. He then proceeded to explain to the boys every ounce of the history of Fazbear entertainment. From the creation of Fredbear and Springbonnie, all the way to the present. "And using a VR game, my father was able to implant his consciousness into a virtual furry bunny costume to then mind control a lady into becoming the killer known as Vanny, who brings kids down here to kill them so he may keep up his immortality." Micheal looked at the two boys as they were taking in every ounce of what he said. "Did you two get all of that?"

"W-wait, your innards were taken out, then an animatronic who's an amalgamation of a few others was inside you, and…..what the hell?" Ness questioned. Lucas simply chuckled.

"I called it."

"Yeah, how did you?" Lucas simply shrugged.

"Yes. My life is…confusing."

"Confusing is an understatement."

"Wait, so you believe your father is down here?" Lucas asked. Micheal nodded.

"However, I can't get past a monster down there. They think I'm my father, they'll attack me the second they spot me."

"Oh man, a monster? That sounds bad."

"Ok ok, I'm still trying to wrap my damn mind around this. H-how did a child murder turn to wanting and achieving immortality by….feasting on the souls of children."

"Remnant."

"THAT DOESN'T MAKE ANY MORE SENSE THAN THE LITERAL SOULS OF CHILDREN!"

"Calm down, Ness," Lucas said as he rubbed his back.

"I…am so fucking lost. Am I a robot? Are you a robot Lucas? How do I know if anyone is a robot or not?"

"Faith, I guess?" Micheal stood up and sighed.

"Yes, as I told you, it's a long story. And I doubt it's the end. But I want to end my father. His crimes have gone too far."

"How the hell are you going to end someone who's maintained immortality for God knows how long?" Michael thought for a moment before simply shrugging.

"Faith. For as long as he lives, so will I."

"Ness…maybe that's our goal. It's to end William. Put an end to this…tragic story," Lucas suggested. Ness thought for a moment before looking at the purple, deteriorating man.

"Maybe you're right…if you'd allow us to help, Micheal."

"My father…he's my problem."

"But he's dragging a poor boy into all of this." Micheal looked back at the boys.

"A poor boy?"

"His name is Gregory."

"Greg…ory?"

"You know him?" Ness asked. Micheal simply shook his head.

"Where is he?" Ness and Lucas led Micheal back up to Roxy's Raceway, needing to be rather slow since Micheal's walk was very slow. It almost seemed like he was just dragging himself.

"Freddy? Freddy, can you hear me?" Ness asked through the Fazwatch.

"Yes. Did you find anything?"

"Yes, come over to the left side of the Raceway." It didn't take long for Freddy, Monty, and Gregory to make it. Gregory was ahead of the two animatronics and crossed his arms.

"Why're you purple?" he asked, trying to act tough, but it was obvious in his voice he was terrified.

"You can call it karma," Micheal said.

"This here is Micheal Afton."

"AFTON!" Gregory yelled as he stepped back and hid behind Freddy.

"Relax, Gregory, his name is Micheal, not William," Freddy explained.

"Oh, right…" Gregory cleared his throat as he stepped out from behind Freddy. "I knew that." Micheal looked at the boy and tilted his head. Gregory looked at the purple man and gulped. "Wh-why're you staring at me?"

"You…look familiar."

"I do?"

"You look like my little brother from when I was a wee lad." Micheal shook his head. "But nevermind that. We have a problem." Before Micheal could continue though, Freddy heard Sun crying out for them. They turned around to see Sun and Chica. Sun was running in to hug Freddy, but after seeing Gregory, he stopped dead in his tracks and crossed his arms.

"Stupid boy," Sun huffed. Gregory copied the animatronic.

"Stupid robot."

"Chica?" Freddy started as he put a hand in front of Gregory, "Where's Roxy?" Chica was looking in her hands as she got closer and closer to Freddy. She stopped not too far in front of him and opened her hands to show Roxy's eyes.

"Sh-she-"

"She got squished like a bug! WHAM! Then got crushed like the rocks I stomp on. BAM!" Sun said as he punched his own palm. After seeing Chica and the other bots look at him in shock, he cleared his throat. "We grieve her loss every day. She shall be missed." Monty rolled his eyes.

"Chica, what happened to her?"

"I-I went crazy…I was going to attack Mr. Talks a lot over there when she got in the way and…I-I pushed her into the trash compactor a-and…" Fredd and Monty looked at each other before the both of them went in to hug her. They broke the hug up and started to comfort her.

"Wow, never saw animatronics this…sentient before. They feel emotions they feel….human?" Micheal said. He then grew a look on his face, which was very obvious because his face has essentially lost all possibility of showing emotion or facial features. So when a change happened, it was obvious.

"What're you thinking about?" Lucas asked.

"There's no way animatronics feel so much emotion…not yet at least." Lucas looked at the animatronics when he grew the same thought as Micheal.

"They have spirits in them."

"Yes. That is the likely possibility." Micheal stepped forward and cleared his nonexistent throat, which only made a weird gurgling noise. "I will cut to the chase. My father, William, he is alive and well–...alive and active-...he's….he's alive. And I don't want him to be anymore. But there is a monster down there, a monster that will not let me pass. Can you guys go down there in my stead?"

"YES!" Gregory called out with a smile.

"Gregory…I'm afraid you can't go down there.. It's not worth risking a living human. I've died too many times to worry about death. But you, and those two boys, must stay here." Gregory put his arms down. He turned toward Freddy

"B-but…" Freddy put his hand into Gregory's hair and chuckled.

"No worries, Superstar. We will be fine. I will be back." Gregory teared up a bit before hugging him. Chica walked to Lucas and handed him Roxy's eyes.

"Take care of these for me?" Chica pleaded. Lucas grew a slightly disgusted face as he took the eyes.

"Dude, they're robot eyes," Ness said.

"They're still eyes…" Lucas added.

"Thank you all. This means a lot."

"William is likely the reason for all the missing children, it's the least we can do," Monty said as he rolled his neck around, causing a weirdly human metallic crack. Micheal motioned for them to follow him, and so they did. Gregory was left in the care of Ness and Lucas. The two older boys looked at the younger one.

"So…how old are you?" Ness asked. Lucas simply elbowed him in the gut.

"What, I dunno how to take care of kids." Gregory crossed his arms.

"For the record, I am 12. I am not a kid, I'm a tween," Gregory huffed.

"Still a kid." Gregory simply stuck his tongue out at the older boys.

The animatronics and Micheal were in the elevator going down. Sun was simply swaying with the distorted and broken elevator music. Monty crossed his arms as he looked at Sun. "You're a weird dude," he said. Sun didn't even pay attention to what he said. The elevator stopped and opened. Micheal took in a very deep and raspy breath, which didn't stay in his body since he had no lungs. He walked out and turned toward the animatronics.

"You sure you want to continue? I'm still not sure if you will be destroyed or not by that monster, it could be dangerous."

"I need to protect Gregory, if it means getting rid of this child murderer, then so be it," Freddy said, his voice determined. There was some shaking of the ground before, in the distance, DJ Music Man popped his head out from above what seemed like a huge Freddy head. "The DJ? What's he doing here?"

"Sun thought it'd be a good idea for him to join," Chica simply said. Monty looked at him.

"Where'd ya find the time for that?" he asked.

Sun entered the Fazcade and skipped to where DJMM was playing some Man Areas, just jamming to the….not at all child-friendly song. He always played these types of songs after house. He once suggested for there to be adult time after hours….so they took his voice box away. Despite having his voice box taken he still had the ability to play any song he wanted. Although, he still made sure that child-friendly songs were played during hours.

-This goes to the strippers and the fuckin' porn stars. And the mother-motherfuckers showin' shit on the bar-

The song continued going on and on. Sun liked the song, but he wasn't there to jam out with the DJ. "DJ!" Sun yelled up but didn't get anything in response. "DJ!" Still nothing. Sun ended up needing to run to a lever and pull it to turn the music off to get his attention. "Wanna join us? We're….well….I dunno what we're doing. But we're doing something!" DJMM nodded his head before crawling into his tunnel.

"It was pretty easy…" Sun simply said. The tunnel they were in was big enough for DJMM to fully crawl out. He lowered his body and the animatronics got on him. Micheal was just looking in confusion.

"It's not very far from here…" he simply said.

"The DJ likes to feel useful," Freddy simply said. Micheal shrugged before climbing up onto him. Monty chuckled a bit before patting Music Man's head.

"Alright, DJ. It's time for an epic battle theme," he simply said. Music Man nodded his head and a song started playing. It was Squidward's Nose. Freddy tilted his head.

"I never heard this song…" he simply said. As soon as the first lyric went off, Freddy's sensors went off. "It's inappropriate! Gregory!"

"Relax, Fred. Gregory is up there. He won't hear." He did, in fact, hear the song. Music Man started walking as the song continued. Micheal was still just utterly confused. He wasn't expecting to be riding on a big DJ animatronic with a few other animatronics on their way to get past a monster animatronic to try and finally kill his immortal child-killing father with inappropriate music blaring through the underground tunnel that led to the restaurant that was supposed to end it all. Micheal simply sighed.

"I wonder what a normal life feels like…." As Micheal said before, it didn't take long for Music Man to make it to the burnt down and destroyed Freddy Fazbear's Pizza Place. Everyone got off the large animatronic, with Monty patting one of its legs.

"Stay here for now," he simply stated.

"Freddy Fazbear's Pizza Place?" Freddy questioned as he tilted his head. "I feel I have…been here before?"

"You have?" Chica asked. She tilted her head as well, trying to see if she too recognized the building. "I don't see how…" Micheal started leading the group into the building, but when Freddy tried to enter he felt…weird. He stopped.

"Fred?" Monty questioned.

"I feel as if something is here…"

"What're you talking about?"

"My sensors. Someone is here."

"Yeah, as I told you there's that monster down here," Micheal stated.

"No, not where you are going. But right here, in this hall."

"Well it might be best to have someone in case this plan goes awry, stay here, Freddy," Micheal said.

"For your information, I am a gator, not a damn guinea pig."

"OOOO GUINEA PIG! I LOVE GUINEA PIGS!" Despite opposing the idea of being a guinea pig, Monty followed the others deeper into the building. Freddy looked around, trying to find where his sensors were sensing someone, yet, being so deep in the ground it was being messy. He started searching around the rubble before soon finding…an animatronic arm. It was purple and slim. Yet something about the arm struck a familiar chord with the metal bear. Freddy tried his hardest to dive into his hard drive to remember what it was, before finding out it was Bonnie's arm. He jumped a bit.

"Bonnie?" He tossed the arm aside and started searching the area. He tossed pieces of the ground aside. He wasn't even caring about where the rocks and broken cement were going. It was hitting Music Man, but due to his very rough shell around his body, it didn't even so much as leave a scratch. Music Man wasn't even paying attention to him, and simply started listening to music.

Soon enough, Freddy found nothing. Or, not entirely nothing. He found a scrap of Bonnie's bowling shirt. Bonnie's portrait for Bonnie Bowl was replaced to show what an original Bonnie looked like, since not only was the new one "decommissioned" but also any merchandise that was once made of him. Any art that showed "Glamrock Bonnie" was quickly replaced by either Montgomery Gator or a more classic Bonnie if it'd make no sense to be replaced by Monty. Even the classic cartoon, Freddy and Friends on Tour, that played pretty religiously in the Daycare theater was changed. Bonnie's voice was taken, so he became a silent menace. They were trying to make it seem like Bonnie never existed, but it'd be hard to when Bonnie had his whole attraction and was previously a member of the main band.

He picked the shirt up and clenched his metal fingers around it more. His head glitched a bit. "Bonnie…you're down here. I'm going to help you." Freddy continued looking around the rubble. He knew Bonnie was down there, he knew he needed to help him. He needed to. He was his friend. He couldn't quite understand why he felt so close to Bonnie. They only really knew each other for about five years, yet they still felt much more connected than that. Almost as if on a spiritual level were they connected.

He searched and searched and searched before coming across the big Freddy Fazbear head. "Bonnie! I-if you can hear me, make a noise!" Freddy was pleading he heard a noise. Each animatronic had a "Special gift" to them. Monty was his strength, Roxy was her sight, etc. These weren't initially meant to be "Special gifts", and simply were meant to be upgraded for their performances, but after hours they truly used those upgrades as if they were some type of superpower. Bonnie was no different. While he was not gifted with strength or eyesight, he was gifted with the gift of aiming. A weird gift, one may think. Fazbear Entertainment got tired of seeing the head of the bowling alley miss repeatedly, so they programmed him to lock on to a target, the pins, and thus he never missed again after that. Of course, being the mischievous bunny he was, he used those aiming capabilities to prank employees like Vanessa, and even Monty and the other robots.

Freddy knew that if anyone were to be consistent with grabbing attention, it would be Bonnie. Freddy waited there for what felt like ages until he was suddenly struck in the back of the head by a small pebble. He shot around and tried his best to analyze the direction the pebble needed to come from in order to hit that direct spot on the back of his head. He walked in the direction he suspected the pebble to have come from and found a pretty huge pile of rubble. So huge that only Monty and Music Man would be able to clear it. He was able to somehow kick Music Man out of his musical trance to lift the rubble. And sure enough, there he was. Bonnie.

"Bonnie…you're…here…" He wasn't there, not fully. His face was gone. His left arm was gone. Parts of his shell were ripped off showing the endoskeleton that made up all of the animatronics. Bonnie was leaning against the ground. Freddy analyzed him and noticed he was just barely holding on. He was put into low-power mode which lengthened the amount of time the animatronic battery lasted, with, in return, having limited capabilities. The time extended, even more, when the animatronic was not doing anything.

"Fred….dy…"

"What happened to you?"

"Tried…..to help….failed…." Bonnie's voice box was clearly broken to some degree. Parts of his body were also broken beyond repair. His legs being the main one.

"Tried to help who?"

"Greg….ory…"

"Y-you know Gregory?"

"He….found me….running from….Vanny….failed….Vanny….got him….hurt him…." Freddy grabbed Bonnie's other hand but it just simply ripped off.

"I-it's ok. Gregory is safe. He's protected."

"No….Greg…ory….dead…" Freddy didn't understand. From what he knew, Gregory was alive and well. Bonnie's endoskeleton eyes looked down, to where his struggling stomach hatch slowly opened to show the mangled body of a small child. The poor body was in a meat pretzel. "I…..failed….Gregory….dead."

"Impossible…Gregory is alive." Freddy looked at his fazwatch. "Gregory?"

"Shh, Freddy, we're hiding from Vanessa!" Gregory shot back. Bonnie's eyes seemed to light up.

"Greg….ory?" Freddy had already turned the watch off before Bonnie could get that off. "But…..dead…Gregory….dead…"

"It's ok, Bon. He's alive. You heard his voice. He's safe."

"Greg…ory…..alive….didn't….fail?"

"Yes, buddy, you didn't fail."

"I…didn't fail…." Freddy's vocabulary was changing, even he recognized that. He was changing. He felt more…human. He even felt the need to cry, even though he couldn't produce any tears. "Freddy…protect Greg…ory…..please."

"Of course, Bon. I'll always protect him."

"Friends….forever…..the others too…..we…..big family." Freddy chuckled softly as he rubbed Bonnie's chest, trying to make him feel better…despite having no ability to feel.

"Of course. We're family forever." His head glitched a bit. Freddy knew Bonnie's time was almost up. He was almost gone.

"Fred….take….aimbot…help protect…Gregory."

"Y-you sure buddy?"

"Yes." Freddy eyed the aimbot that was normally in his face, but of course, it was no longer hidden by the shell. He slowly went in to grab it, but hesitated.

"This…it will power you off, Bon. It'll take the remainder of your energy."

"It…..ok…..I…..will always…..be there….for you…..for….Gregory. Family…forever…." Freddy swore he could feel a tear fall from his eyes as he took the aimbot out. The body of Bonnie glitched before slumping. Any life that was in Bonnie was now gone. Fredd stood up and sighed.

"So long buddy. We'll protect Gregory."

Micheal and the robots made it to the hole in the pizzeria that led down to where the monster, and his father, were waiting for new victims. He turned toward the robots. "You guys still sure about this?"

"Listen, pal," Monty started as he put a hand on his shoulder, "Stop questioning me before I change my damned answer, ya hear?"

"How are any of you made for children?" The robots got to the entrance of the hole. They heard the breathing that came from the monster. "Good luck." They entered the hole, jumping and crawling down the cruelly made staircase. Eventually, Sun made it down, he looked at the monster and gasped.

"I-it's a monster!" Sun yelled. Chica landed next and jumped a bit as she saw the monster as well.

"W-well…we were warned…" Chica simply stated. Monty then landed with a belly flop. Sun looked down at him and chuckled.

"Stupid staircase is too small for me!" Monty stood up and shook his head before looking at the monster. "They hell?"

"This…blob is the monster…" Chica said. She looked around the Blob and located Chica, a different Chica, the original Chica. "Woah…this is weird." Sun skipped forward and looked up at the sleeping face of the Blob.

"Freddy?" Sun questioned. Monty barged forward and looked up at him.

"The purple did not look good on him," Monty critiqued. Chica looked around the room.

"Where's this…person anyway?" she questioned. The three of them began searching the small area, avoiding the Blob. Sun walked over to the side of the room where some weird wooden planks were lying on the ground. He then heard a weird noise from underneath the planks. He leaned down and listened to what it was.

"What're you doing?" Sun stood up and looked back at Monty.

"I hear something weir-" Sun got instantly cut off by a hand breaking through the wood and grabbing one of Sun's slim legs. Sun screamed a bit before a second hand came up and grabbed Sun's other leg. Sun simply looked at the other two. He was forced to the ground. One of the hands then came up and grabbed at Sun's face and dragged him down where the hands were coming from. Chica and Monty ran over and looked down the new hole that was made.

"M-maybe he's ok?" Chica hoped. There was a loud crunching noise and soon enough, a part of Sun's face shot upward and landed in front of them as well as Sun's hook that was on his back. Chica picked the hook up and gulped.

"He's not ok." The two of them looked back into the hole and saw nothing at first. That was when two purple eyes showed themselves. A hand popped up and grabbed at the edge. The claws caused sparks against the metal ground as the two animatronics backed away in fear and they started hearing the Blob become more agitated. The owner of the hands came out of the hole and chuckled. He stomped forward. Monty chuckled as he stepped in front of Chica.

"This glorified dustbin has nothing on me."

"Oh?" The man stuck in a robotic bunny suit said with an agitated, sickening voice. He held his clawed hand toward Monty, which seemingly froze him.

"M-Monty?" Chica questioned.

"I…can't move…Chica…run….get out of here…" The man, the man that was once human, chuckled.

"I would….heed his warnings, Chica. You don't want to die…..again, do you?" he asked.

"M-Monty.."

"GO!" She ran. She started climbing up the staircase as the man, once known as William Afton, had his Afton-virus spread throughout Monty. Taking over and destroying what was once called a conscious.

Micheal was growing concerned because of the commotion. He soon saw Chica start running up the staircase. "Chica? What happened?" Chica made it out of the hole.

"Y-your father! H-he's there. He's strong."

"What! Oh crap, this is bad…."

"Yeah, h-he has Monty."

"No, not because of him."

The Blob awoke. He roared into the air as Monty was let loose. One of The Blob's tentacles wrapped around William's throat as The Blob slithered his way up the hole and roared into Micheal's face. Monty ended up attacking the Blob, who was forced to let go of William. Without wasting any time, William ran toward Micheal, grabbing his neck.

"Micheal, it's pleasant seeing you again." Micheal clawed at his father's claws.

"I wish I….shared the same sentiment….father." He continued struggling. Monty ran toward Chica, who started running away from him, toward the exit. However, Monty lunged forward, tackling her to the ground. He then slashed at her face, shooting her beak off of her face. Chica tried pushing him off but wasn't strong enough. Thankfully for her, however, The Blob was still agitated from being attacked by him and grabbed Monty. The Blob simply squeezed so hard that Monty just exploded. His claws l landed right in front of her when she grew an idea. Freddy. He could be upgraded. He could get all of their upgrades. She grabbed the claws and then her beak then ran out. After dealing with Monty, The Blob hit the Aftons with another tentacle and screamed into their faces.

"Look at the monster you made, Father!"

"I know…it's glorious!" Two tentacles wrapped around their throats as they were lifted off the ground. "No matter….if I die here. I always come back.

"NO! You need….to die! Both of us…need to finally die!"

"I will never die. My influence….my virus….has already spread to other people….I am forever. The Afton name….will forever live on!" William started laughing. A once brilliant man. Inventing animatronics far beyond the time they were created. A man whose passion was to bring joy to children. A man that allowed his tainted psychosis to control him. A man who has lost everything. A man who never died. William Afton. Brilliant inventor. Child murderer. Immortal zombie. And now, even if he died, he lived on. His name was no longer the name of a human. A zombie. But a virus. A virus that wouldn't end with his death. A virus that had already claimed victims. He lived on. The Afton name lived on.

Chica was running faster and faster, having gained the attention of Music Man, who turned around to watch her run toward Freddy. Freddy was covering Bonnie up with some rocks to act as a sort of burial ground. Freddy, in the corner of his eyes, saw Chica running toward him. The fact she didn't have her beak anymore concerned Freddy. He stood up and met her halfway. "Chica? What's wrong?" Chica handed off all of the different parts. Freddy knew what this meant for the others. And he knew why they were given to him. "Chica…what happened?"

As soon as he asked that, a tentacle wrapped around Chica's legs and dragged her back to the old pizzeria as the Blob broke out, breaking down the place and causing a huge tremble. Music Man tried turning around quickly, but due to his size, he was slower than he would like. Right as Chica was torn in half, The Blob wrapped tentacles around each leg of Music Man and ripped them all clean off, one of which was launched toward Freddy. Some of that super-strong shell came off, which Fredd grabbed. Music Man looked at Freddy. And with a single song, told Freddy what he needed to do.

-For your safety, for the children's safety, and for those around you….run…..run…..run-

Freddy did just that and ran into the elevator as he heard The Blob tear Music Man to pieces. His music box, however, continued. The loud and glitching "Run….run…runs" continued blaring. Soon enough, the elevator shook. Thankfully for him, Freddy got to the destination. He ran out, having put all of the upgrades into his chest. He heard the elevator behind him fall to the ground. Tentacles started coming up from behind Freddy as he ran. He kept needing to dodge the attacks by the tentacles. He ran up the stairs and busted the door down to see Vanessa holding a flashlight to the three boys. "RUN VANESSA!"

"Freddy? What is the meaning of-" She was cut off by the ground shaking.

"Freddy? What's wrong? Gregory asked. Freddy didn't answer and simply picked the three boys up and continued running. Vanessa was left to watch.

"What the hell? The shaking continued and continued before The Blob busted through the wall. "Crap!"

Freddy continues running and running, wanting to get out of sight of The Blob. "What the hell was that!" Gregory yelled. Freddy had no time for answering. He just continued running. He looked at the time and saw it was nearly 6 am. After some time, Freddy finally let the three boys down. "Freddy, answer me!"

"The monster, it escaped. It destroyed my friends. Do you still have Roxy's eyes?" Lucas nodded and brought out the eyes. "I know why you were brought here, you two."

"Why?" Ness asked.

"You need to help us, destroy that thing. We need to….we need to kill it." Gregory was taken aback.

"Freddy? What's gotten into you?" Freddy looked at Gregory and smiled. He placed a hand in his hair.

"I must protect you, Gregory. No matter what. Do you trust me?"

"Of course I do!"

"Good. I will never leave your side."

"W-what about your battery?"

"I…I don't know. I should be low power but….I was given a new purpose. I am not just an animatronic. I am….I am not me." Gregory smiled before hugging Freddy. Freddy hugged back.

"This just took a huge turn," Ness stated. Freddy let go of Gregory and turned toward Ness and Lucas.

"Gregory and I are going to parts and service to upgrade myself. We need you to distract that monster." Ness and Lucas looked at each other. This was crazy. One minute they were living a normal everyday life, now they're having to help an animatronic bear upgrade himself with parts of his friends to take out a huge animatronic tentacle monster. This was not the turn they expected to take….but despite it….it all felt natural. Ness and Lucas stood up tall and straight.

"We'll do whatever we can," Lucas said. Gregory gave the two boys his Fazcam and his Fazblaster.

"Good luck," Freddy said. Gregory climbed onto Freddy's shoulders. Ness and Lucas nodded and they went their separate ways. Ness and Lucas went into the elevator to go back to the Atrium since they were taken back to the main entrance. They finally had a chance to breathe.

"This is crazy. This is crazy. WHAT THE HELL IS HAPPENING?!" Ness was freaking out. Lucas put a hand on his shoulder. Ness stopped and looked at him.

"This is definitely crazy. But it's our job. We need to help them." Ness nodded his head. "I won't let him get you." Lucas held up the Fazblaster and chuckled to himself. Ness's eyebrows furrowed.

"Not fair. You got the gun, I got the camera." They heard the ding. They made it. "Alright, Freddy. We got to the Atrium."

"Good. I need access to the main stage. Make sure the monster isn't around there. As soon as the covering for the main stages comes up after I go down, you're free to run and hide. Got it?"

"Yes."

"And don't get caught by his tentacles. He is all robot. You two are still human, not nearly strong enough to break out."

"Got it." Ness took in a deep breath as he held up a fist toward Lucas. "Let's do this, Luke."

"Right," Lucas responded by pounding his fist into Ness's. The elevator doors opened and they saw the monster. It was currently on the main stage, looking around. He was huge. His tentacles were around nearly the entire Atrium. However, Lucas was able to quickly see a path that was relatively free of tentacles, and that would allow them to get up to the third floor. Lucas motioned for Ness to follow. Hey crouched down and walked through the narrow path made by all the tentacles swaying and drooping around.

They were able to get to the stairs relatively easily. They climbed the stairs, but as soon as they got off the stairs a tentacle came out of Bonnie Bowl, breaking down the door. Lucas jumped back to avoid being enveloped by the tentacle. "How're we going to get past?" Ness whispered. The tentacle was blocking their path. Lucas looked around and saw that all of the windows to the different places were reflected.

"This gun shoots light, right?" Lucas asked. Ness nodded his head. He looked back at the window of Bonnie Bowl. He held the gun toward the window. "Here goes nothing." He shot the gun at the window, which bounced off and hit another window. It kept bouncing from window to window, causing The Blob to follow its track like some cat. This caused the tentacle that was blocking their path to move, and for the boys to leave. He ran over to the corner of the area and saw the button Freddy needed to get to, to go down.

"Now what?"

"I dunno." The boys start hearing some clanging. They turned around to see a small broken toy. It had symbols that it was clashing.

"Distraction. Ness picked up the toy, which started trying to bite him. "Jesus, what isn't trying to kill us here…" Ness looked around. All of the STAFF bots were destroyed because of the tentacles. There was one, however, that wasn't destroyed just yet. It didn't seem like a regular STAFF bot though. It had a yellow chest with the letter I on it. Ness stuck his tongue out and narrowed his eyes. "My many years of baseball better not fail me now." Ness did a small hop forward as he brought his arm back and tossed the small toy like it was a ball. The toy flew through the air, clanging the symbols as if it was panicking. It landed right in front of the robot with a loud clang, causing the monster to look at it. It screamed and ran over, since it was doing such a major movement, his tentacles started retracting. The poor bot was going to get utterly destroyed.

"Now Freddy!" Lucas said through the Fazwatch. They looked down and saw Freddy and Gregory make it to the stage and press the button to go down. The two boys were able to run over to a photo booth and hide in it. The two of them started catching their breaths.

"This….is so… nerve-wracking."

"Shush. Still not over." They sat there and waited….and waited. The wait felt like it'd never end. They heard the slithering noises coming from The Blob as it looked around for someone it knew was in there. Lucas soon enough grabbed Ness's hand.

"Nervous?" Lucas simply gulped. Ness giggled softly as he came in closer to him. He brought him into a soft hug to hopefully get their mind off of The Blob for some time. It worked for a bit, and it especially worked when Ness kissed him. The kiss didn't last very long, but it was enough to distract the two of them from the long excruciating wait. "As soon as we get out of this damn place, we're going to get some amazing sleep." Lucas smiled softly.

"Y-yeah, we will."

"Boys? Make sure the monster is above the stage. We're finished," Freddy said through the watch. Ness and Lucas looked at each other before nodding their heads. Lucas poked his head out of the photobooth. The Blob wasn't looking their way and so Lucas jumped out, instantly followed by Ness. They ran to the opposite side of the Atrium and Ness brought out the camera.

"That probably has a range. So we need him closer. You'll need to press it at just the right time, ok." Ness nodded. "HEY, YOU!" The Blob turned around and screamed before slithering toward Ness and Lucas. The two of them waited and waited and watched as The Blob came closer and closer. Soon enough, he wrapped tentacles around the two boys, but it still wasn't time just yet. They were being brought closer and closer to his head. "NOW!" Lucas shut his eyes and Ness activated the camera to blind The Blob, dropping the two of them.

They landed on a table, crushing it underneath them. "Freddy…you're free." Ness struggled to get off the table, rubbing his back. Lucas got off pretty easily. Lucas helped Ness run from The Blob. They looked over and saw the stage floor open up and the lift make it to the top with Gregory on top a new and improved Freddy. He had a new white coating. His hands were now claws. He had some new eyes that allowed him to see things that weren't normally visible to him. He even had a small grapple hook on his back. There were some things that weren't visible, however. Like in his mouth he had a new voice box that would allow him to change his voice and mimic other things. It also had something else near his eyes, Bonnie's Aimbot which allowed him to focus on a target and never miss. Gregory looked at the boys with a wide smile as he jumped down and entered Freddy.

"Let's do this, Superstar," Freddy simply stated as a hook came from the grapple hook and he was lifted off the ground. He started swinging around The Blob as it finally got its vision back. It saw Freddy swinging and tried to knock him down with one of his tentacles, but with Monty's strength and Music Man's durability, a simple swipe of his new claws caused the tentacle to break off with a loud metallic bang as it fell to the ground. Freddy's pointer finger then opened up and he started shooting fire out of it.

"What the? He…he shoots fire?" Lucas asked.

"I'm not even surprised anymore." The fire started to envelop The Blob. His screams echoed throughout the building, but it wasn't out just yet. It was able to grab Freddy, bringing him closer. His body was now being charred. He screamed into Freddy's face as he started to squeeze.

"You can't scare me. I have….a new purpose. To protect…..everyone…..to protect….my friends. And you're…..not going to stand….in the way of that!" Freddy yelled as he chomped at the tentacle holding him and fell to the ground. He looked at Ness and Lucas. "GO! Get out! The place will be coming down soon, hurry!"

"What about you?" Lucas asked.

"I will never hurt Gregory, and I don't plan to now. We will get out. You two, just go!" The two boys nodded and ran off as Freddy dodged a swipe from another tentacle. He rushed over and grabbed the one he had cut off before and used a grapple to swing away from The Blob. He opened his mouth and started singing weirdly. This started to disorient every mechanical thing in the room. Even the destroyed STAFF Bots seemingly came back to life and started attacking The Blob, who was disoriented by the loud, scratchy, screeching noise coming from the bear.

When he stopped, he saw that the STAFF Bots were wailing on The Blob. While it didn't do much damage, it was a huge distraction for Freddy as he floated in the air thanks to a grapple. He pulled his arm back as he locked on to the face of The Blob. He then tossed the tentacle forward and right as The Blob dealt with the STAFF Bots, and looked at Freddy, the tentacle impaled his head. Freddy then swung over and started using his built-in flamethrower to burn The Blob some more. His screams were worse and worse. It didn't sound like it was a single scream either. But the screams of many….many….many children. All the children that William Afton had killed, screaming in pain. "Be like me….be free. Leave this body, go to a better life!" He burned them more and more, causing The Blob to slam into the wall, shaking the building a bit, and spreading the flames. Slowly but surely, as The Blob was freaking out, fewer and fewer screams were being heard from it. He writhed around some more before there was only one scream left, with which that too soon left, and The Blob could do nothing more than to fall forward, no more agitated spirit in that body.

Freddy saw that the building was crumbling and burning. He ran over and entered the elevator. The elevator ride was bumpy, but soon enough, he was able to get out. He saw Ness and Lucas waiting at the exit. The sliding doors that closed after hours finally started opening. Ness and Lucas busted out, and Freddy did the same, not even bothering with opening the door and just slamming his hard body through the glass. They continued to run forward a bit more to be out of harm's way. But when they were far enough, they turned around to see Freddy Fazbear's Mega Pizzaplex burning and crumbling. Gregory jumped out of the bear and kissed the ground. "Sweet sweet outside!"

"Gregory. The ground isn't sanitary."

"I don't even care…" Freddy chuckled before turning toward the two boys.

"Thank you. Both of you. I wouldn't have realized what I truly can be without you." He looked at them closer with his two eyes but stopped and stared at Lucas.

"Something wrong?"

"You…..you are-" He was cut off by a police siren.

"Shit! The police. Lucas, we need to get out of here. Freddy will be fine, we won't!" Freddy nodded his head. Before they left, however, Gregory ran in and hugged the two of them. Ness and Lucas just needed to hug back before thanking Freddy and running off. Gregory then entered Freddy as he waited for the police. However, Freddy noticed, it wasn't a police car. It was a regular car with a fake police siren on its hood.

"That's not police Gregory." Freddy looked around and saw that the two boys were already gone. Freddy skeptically walked closer to the now parked car. It opened up and….Sora stepped out. He had a wide smile as he walked over to Freddy.

"Freddy Fazbear. And Gregory," Sora greeted.

"I don't know a Gregory…."

"You also don't know how to lie. I know Gregory is inside your chest." Sora sighed. "Don't worry, I'm not here to hurt you. I was the one who sent Ness and Lucas here." Freddy's chest cavity opened up to show Gregory.

"You were?" he asked. Sora nodded.

"I needed them to be here to free you guys."

"How come?" Freddy asked.

"Simple. You lived a fake life. Now you are freed. But now, in the world that is Ultimatum….we continue to live a fake life. I need your help if I want to free everyone. Are you up to the challenge?" Gregory's eyes shone brightly.

"We're gonna be superheroes!" Sora chuckled a bit as he ruffled Gregory's hair.

"Yes. You both will be superheroes."

"What do you say, Superstar?" Gregory didn't need even a moment to think. He instantly nodded his head. The chest cavity closed and Freddy looked at Sora. "Then we shall help you."

"Thank you," Sora said as he bowed his head. He turned around. "Come. There are some others you need to meet."

Vanessa awoke in a dark place. She stood up and looked around. "Where….where the hell am I? Where's that monster."

"Vanessa….security guard at Freddy Fazbear's Mega Pizzaplex." Vanessa continued looking around but was failing to see anyone.

"Wh-who's there! Show yourself!"

"That will not be necessary….Vanny. I require your assistance."

"I don't know what you're talking about."

"Of course, you don't. You don't remember. But you feel it, don't you? His presence. HIs urge. The urge to kill."

"No! I-I'm not a killer!"

"Yes, you are. Think of all the poor little boys and girls you've slaughtered in his name. All the families you tore apart." Vanessa gulped as she backed away.

"N-no…That's not…I didn't…"

"Killing them. Listening as they screamed in agony, their spirits being drained out of their little decaying bodies. How many times have you needed to clean this suit?" The Vanny suit was then thrown from the darkness at her. Vanessa looked down at it.

"Y-you…"

"There are two boys who impede my goals. And if they get too close to it…you'll need to kill them."

"N-no. I don't want to!"

"Neither do I. They are….important to me. But if they get too close to me, I'm afraid it's necessary. You still have the urge, don't you? You want to do this! You want to kill innocent lives. You NEED to!"

"I…" Vanessa was staring down at the Vanny suit before grabbing it. She rubbed its fake fur before a sinister smile crept on her face. "Whatever you wish…"

"Good. Let's hope I don't need you." Vanny was knocked unconscious. "Heed my warning to you two. Do not get close. Do not attempt to find me. Do not attempt to defeat me. Or I will have no choice but to restart you two. Pull the plug. Make sure nothing is remembered, and start anew."

Ness and Lucas were at Lucas's house when they found a letter that seemed to warn them about some dangers. However, Ness took the note and ripped it. "Damn it." He didn't want to restart them, nor could he restart them right now. He was powerful, but he wasn't in control. For now, he just needed to wait, but he knew he would need to restart them. It was just a matter of when he would be able to.
