Everyone, other than the Original Main Four, Trap, and I rushed to the Originals' Main Stage.
Golden Freddy teleported out of his room and in front of the startled and confused animatronics. "What's going on? Why did you signal an emergency meeting?" Golden asked, panicked while looking at Trap and me.
Trap glanced, prompting me to tell the others what we saw.
Folding my hands behind my back, I calmly looked over the crowd. "There are intruders in the Toys' part of the Pizzeria."
"What? That's impossible," Freddy said in disbelief.
"Unfortunately, it isn't; we just made it out of there by the skin of our teeth," Trap recalled, remembering how fast the Drawkills were.
Marionette looked at Trap with a mocking, smug look. "Then, why didn't you fight them? Were you too scared, Springtrap?"
"Well, when it's four against two, and the opponents are each designed with a weapon as big as their bodies. What the bloody hell do you expect me to do?" Trap snarled his eyes flaring for a second. "Golden Freddy tasked me with making sure Noelle doesn't get killed and ordered me to not use any of my weapons unless he gave me special permission," he crossed his arms, digging his claws into them. "Asking me to fight without a weapon and keeping someone alive while dealing with four armed opponents at the same time is a suicide mission."
Bonnie looked at Trap and me, scared, as her left ear twitched nervously. "Wait a minute, did you say that the intruders were each designed with a weapon as big as their body?"
"Yes, we did, and the intruders are a group of animatronics called the Drawkills," I replied.
"What kind o' weapons be ye blabberin' about?" Foxy asked curiously.
Trap tilts his head slightly. "If I recall correctly, Drawkill Foxy has a hook as big as his torso, claws on both his hand and feet, and sharp teeth. Drawkill Bonnie has two massive fists, excellent hearing, and some sort of a jump attack based on the design of his legs." He listed off casually as if he wasn't angry a second ago. "Drawkill Chica has talons on both her hands and feet, spikes along her arms that look like a skeleton of a bird's wing, and some idiot thought it would be a great idea to give her sharp teeth, like Drawkill Foxy. Drawkill Freddy has large hands like Drawkill Bonnie. There was something else, but I couldn't see it very well, and he's the leader."
Shocked and scared expressions appear on the crowd's faces.
"The thing you left out, Trap, was that Drawkill Freddy has a built-in flamethrower," I added.
Chica gasps sharply. "A FLAMETHROWER! Drawkill Freddy has a BUILT-IN FLAMETHROWER!" She screamed in horror, bringing her hands up to her face.
I sweatdropped, realizing I probably shouldn't have mentioned that. "Yeah, he did, but I doubt he'll use it," I said, trying to calm Chica down.
Toy Freddy cautiously looked around the room in fear. "Where are they now?"
I shrugged. "I believe they're still in the Toys' part of the building."
Toy Bonnie raised his fists and started jumping around like a boxer, ready to fight the enemy head-on. "Then why are we hanging around here, for? Let's show them who's boss."
Toy Chica tugged sharply on Toy Bonnie's ear. "Didn't you hear what Springtrap and Noelle said? 'Their weapons are as big as their bodies.' Going in there now is suicide."
Toy Bonnie yelped in pain before rubbing his ear, glaring at Toy Chica, who sassily glared back.
"We need to develop a strategy," Mangle said while her endo head nodded.
"Well, we could–" I started to say, but I was cut off.
"No, you're too young." Shadow Freddy harshly said and crossed his arms.
Shadow Bonnie nodded with an apologetic smile. "Sorry, Noelle, but Shad's right on this."
Golden turned to Trap. "Springtrap, take Noelle and hide her, then come back so we can plan how to deal with these intruders."
Trap sighed before leading me back toward the entrance of his base, which was underneath the basement.
.
"I have a feeling that they're going to regret not hearing you out," Trap commented aloud while we walked down the basement stairs.
"I have to agree with you on that," I replied as we reached the end.
Trap turned to me and said, "Now stay with the other nite guards and don't come up unless you feel like something's wrong."
I looked at him, tilting my head slightly. "But what happens if we're overrun?"
Trap sighed and tiredly rubbed his forehead. "Then we may have to use my base as a temporary headquarters."
"Very well."
"Now, if something happens. Do what's necessary," Trap ordered before turning and walking up the basement stairs.
I watched him before entering his base through the secret passage. When I got to the first floor, I saw Mike and Sam waiting. "Did you tell the others?" I crossed my arms behind my back.
"Yes," Sam replied.
"So, what do we do now?" Mike questioned, crossing his arms in front of his chest.
"We wait," I said, waiting for the inevitable fight to begin.
I walked back upstairs and towards the group of somewhat panicking animatronics. "So, what do you suppose we do now, Golden Freddy?" I asked, crossing my arms.
"We must warn the other Originals about this." Golden stated.
Suddenly, Nightmare and Nightmare Fredbear appeared in front of us from a rift connected to the Nightmare Realm, stunning everyone.
A surprised look appears on Golden's face. "Nightmare, Nightmare Fredbear, what are you two doing here?"
I looked at them, and as I did, I started feeling uneasy about them.
{Vincent? Is there something wrong?} Springbonnie, a somewhat alter ego of mine forever imprinted on his software, asked in our mind, sensing my uneasiness.
Easily masking my emotions as I was temporarily in charge of our body. {Something's off about them.}
{I sense it too.} Purple Guy, or PG, the darkside I was born with, piped up. {Vincent, take a closer look at them. Do you notice anything different in how they look or act?}
I blinked and shook my head slightly as I was suddenly snapped out of my internal conversation by Nightmare, who started talking.
"We sensed that something was off," Nightmare replied.
I quickly noted that Nightmare sounded like a programed robot with no emotions even though he is an animatronic. Speech pattern's off, I thought to myself; that's when I noticed both of the Nightmares' eyes didn't have that spark of life and emotion like the others had. Instead, their eye colour was duller than usual.
Suddenly, Plushtrap appeared from another rift, looking like he had recently been in a fight. With a panicked and desperate expression, he pointed at Nightmare and Nightmare Fredbear. "D-Don't trust them! T-That isn't Nightmare or Nightmare F-Fredbear!"
Freddy looked at Plushtrap, confused. "What are you talking about, Plushtrap?"
Nightmare Fredbear turned to look at Plushtrap. "Yes, what are you talking about, Plushtrap? We're the same as we always are; nothing has changed." He said, not caring that Plushtrap was accusing him and Nightmare.
"You must be delusional." Nightmare tilts his head. "Did you hit your head on something?" He questioned with the same tone, his dull eyes locked with Plushtrap's.
I watched as Plushtrap frantically looked around the Original and Toy Animatronics group, desperate for someone to believe him. Soon, his eyes locked with mine, and I quickly noticed that Plushtrap's eyes had that spark of life and emotion, which meant that I could trust my Nightmare Counterpart. I looked at Nightmare and Nightmare Fredbear, who didn't even react to Plushtrap's accusation like someone typically would. Yes, they looked annoyed, but usually, someone would become angry or be surprised about being accused like that out of the blue and try defending themselves, yet it seemed like all their emotions were drained from them. "Golden Freddy, step away from them now," I ordered in a severe tone, keeping my eyes on Nightmare and Nightmare Fredbear.
Everyone turned and looked at me in confusion.
"What, why?" Golden asked.
"What be yer problem ye, scallywag?" Foxy snapped, giving me a nasty glare from his one visible eye.
"Golden Freddy, just do as I say and back away from them. Trust me on this." I said in a low voice as I glared at both Leaders of the Original Nightmare Animatronics.
A look of pure anger appears on Freddy's face. "Hold on! Last time we trusted you on something, you murdered us!"
I then saw Nightmare and Nightmare Fredbear were about to lunge at Golden. Plushtrap noticed this, too. I quickly ran before Golden and pushed him back into the crowd. Then, I blocked Nightmare's claws with my right arm while Plushtrap lunged at Nightmare Fredbear's face, clawing at it.
"W-What's the meaning of this!" Golden demanded in shock, getting off the floor.
"They're not Nightmare or Nightmare Fredbear, at least the ones we know," I said, keeping my eyes on Nightmare.
"What do you mean?" Bonnie questioned in confusion and shock.
"Look at their eyes!" Plushtrap yelled.
Everyone then glanced at Nightmare's eyes as Nightmare Fredbear's were covered by Plushtrap, causing some of them to gasp in surprise and some in shock.
"What's wrong with their eyes!" Chica screeched in fear.
"I'm sure Plushtrap will explain that after we get out of here," I stated, pushing Nightmare several inches away. "Plushtrap, hurry up so we can get the bloody hell out of here."
Nightmare growled like an animal.
"I don't think so." Nightmare Fredbear snarled.
He then ripped Plushtrap off of his face and threw him at the group. Luckily, Mangle, who was in her dismantled form on the ceiling, caught him, but he became unconscious from the force of the throw. Nightmare Fredbear then started advancing toward the group of shocked and confused animatronics that were too stunned to move.
{Springbonnie can handle Nightmare on your own?} I asked, keeping an eye on Nightmare Fredbear while quickly dodging Nightmare's attempt to claw me.
{Yes.} Springbonnie replied.
{Good.} I got ready to separate myself from Springbonnie. {Ready, PG?} I questioned my other half.
PG laughed, eager to fight Nightmare Fredbear. {Yes~ This will be fun~}
I then separated myself from Springbonnie as the Original and Toy Animatronics looked at us with surprise and confusion.
"How are you going to help us like that? You're a phantom! You can't touch anything!" Toy Freddy yelled, afraid of the advancing and growling Nightmare Fredbear.
Golden peeked out from behind Freddy, who instinctively stood in front of him. "I'll have to agree with Toy Freddy on that, Vincent."
"Geez. Have some faith in me. I may be a ghost, but I'm still a killer. Don't interfere." I replied, my voice switching back and forth between PG's and my normal voice.
Nightmare Fredbear then turned around and charged at me as I disappeared, reappearing behind him; he turned around, trying to punch me. I ducked out of the way, dodging Nightmare Fredbear's attempts to hit and claw at me.
"Now I see what's going on." PG said, taking control and catching Nightmare Fredbear's punch. "You're being controlled and have no sense of how to fight rationally."
We smirked before flipping Nightmare Fredbear onto his back. Springbonnie switched to his humanoid form and kicked Nightmare in the stomach/second mouth. Nightmare growled and tried punching Springbonnie, but he jumped back. Soon, Springbonnie and I were back-to-back. Nightmare Fredbear then got up and started circling us with Nightmare while the other Originals watched.
"Double team?" Springbonnie asked, keeping his eyes on Nightmare.
"Yeah, and don't hold back," I replied, letting PG take control, causing our skin and hair to turn purple. While our scleras became black and our pupils and irises white.
He started grinning like a madman as Nightmare and Nightmare Fredbear screeched before charging at us simultaneously. Springbonnie quickly sidestepped them while we backflipped over them, landing on our feet behind Nightmare Fredbear as PG let his aura surround us, confusing the Nightmares. Springbonnie and I quickly jumped and temporarily disabled them as the aura started clearing, then ran up to the group of still confused and stunned animatronics.
"Come on, we need to get out of here," I yelled and ran past them, my appearance reverting to normal.
"They won't be down for long," Springbonnie added.
Only then did everyone start moving blindly, following us away from Nightmare and Nightmare Fredbear. We then led everyone to the Safe Room. I quickly removed the spells, boards, and traps in front of it as Springbonnie ushered everyone inside.
