7 Intermission: What happened? Part 1

Author Note: The intermission chapter was supposed to be much shorter. But it took me too long so I will divide it into parts.

========================================

Third Person POV – Dungeon: Floor 25-27

At the entrance to the 25th Floor, which is known to the Guild as Second Line. This floor is known as Water City. It can be seen that the 25th floor marks the beginning of the Great Fall. A huge waterfall that is estimated to be 400 meters wide and twice the length, which lasts until the 27th Floor.

These are the Lower Floors, a place where you need to be at least level 3 to survive. Not only because of the strength of the monsters but also because of its difficult terrain. To go down from 25° to 27°, adventurers must navigate through a series of corridors that vary in elevation around the waterfall to reach the passage at the bottom of their current floor.

A dangerous place for any careless adventurer. In fact.

The Water City trembled in AGONY before a huge crack began to appear in a dead end that was at 26°. The dungeon growled in frustration and did its best to stop the rift from opening up, but just like the Xenos. The dungeon was unable to prevent a new "intelligent monster" from forming.

But what the Gekai world doesn't know, is that what came out of the hole in the dungeon wall that formed in the 26th was not a Xenos, it was something completely different, something dark and sinister and just as intelligent.

A gold suit looks a lot like a bear hit the ground of 26th with a thud. A metallic sound resounded throughout the Water City, attracting many monsters in the direction of where the new being landed.

The gold-colored outfit is in the shape of a brown bear, under its neck is a black-colored bow, and on top of its head is a black hat. Both the black color and the gold color of the metallic suit had lost color and looked worn and old. The gold suit didn't seem to have eyes over its sockets leaving them empty.

The suit, which seemed motionless and lifeless, began to tremble, as a person would when convulsing. It moved abruptly in many directions and began to radiate such a corrupt and negative energy that the suit began to secrete tar from the small holes that the golden suit had, through its mouth and eye sockets.

The monsters on the 26th floor froze and began to rush as far away from the dark corruption as possible. The floor began to shake slightly from the strong pressure of the ominous aura emanating from the golden suit.

What the dungeon had given birth to was not a Golden Bear, not even a monster, not a Xenos, not anything the Gekai world had seen thus far. Even though the dungeon tried its best to counter the new being. It was unable to do so due to the interference of a third party and the sheer ominous will emanating from the golden suit.

The thing that was given birth was a being that goes against the laws of nature, an extremely dangerous being for human life if it is not controlled.

A Vengeful Ghost.

But that wasn't the only unfortunate thing for the world. The container is a golden metal suit resembling a brown bear. Not only did it have the consciousness of a Vengeful Ghost, but it also had the consciousness of two Vengeful Ghosts.

One of the ghosts that possessed the gold suit was Cassidy. A girl who only lived to be 12 years old. She died on June 26, 1985, after being killed by Dave Miller better known as William Afton.

William infiltrated Fazbear Entertainment's pizzeria as a Security Guard and went by the name Dave Miller, as he was a murder suspect even before that. William managed to get away with murdering Cassidy, along with four other children without being caught and tried.

The Other of the ghosts who possessed the golden suit was Evan Afton. A boy who died at the young age of 9 at his birthday party. He died on March 17, 1983, being the victim of one of his brother Michael Afton's pranks. When the latter put the child's head in the mouth of the same costume that they are currently in possession of. The system failed and his skull was crushed by the jaws of the gold suit.

The golden suit that the vengeful ghost duo had, was Golden Freddy. One of the first hybrid animatronics that can be worn with an endoskeleton and as a suit for a person in existence. Before it was Golden Freddy, it was called Fredbear, but due to the 83 bite incident, its name was changed.

"Ugh...fuck" a girl's female voice began to resound in the golden outfit, while the empty left eye socket began to glow an eerie crimson.

"Ouch!... my head" expressed the voice of a child being aware of the irony. His voice echoed from the golden suit, while the empty right eye socket began to glow an unearthly dark blue.

The girl named Cassidy tried to move into the Golden Freddy outfit, but unfortunately for her. At the same time, the boy named Evan Afton also tried to move the Golden Freddy suit. The children's movements went in opposite directions as a result, the suit wobbled and trembled without moving at all.

"Hey! Stop moving! Evan!" Cassidy yelled angrily.

"You already had the suit, I have to move it, so you're the one who has to stop moving, Cassidy!" the boy responded annoyed.

"Tch, good!" Cassidy stopped fighting for control of the suit, giving full control of the Golden Freddy suit to Evan Afton.

Evan was in control and saw that the Golden Freddy suit was in an awkward position. He made it easy and comfortable. He teleported to the starting position which was familiar to him. Only to be shocked when the suit adjusted itself at inhuman speed. In one millisecond the suit was lying in an awkward position and the next it was on its feet.

But the speed at which he used his teleportation wasn't the only thing that shocked Evan Afton, what left him shocked and incredulous was that the suit was standing up straight, not falling over at all. This shouldn't be possible, as the Golden Freddy suit had lost its endoskeleton. Which acted as a support for the suit just like the human skeleton in the human body.

Evan moved the Golden Freddy suit hand back and forth before stopping, then began to close the Golden Freddy suit hand into a fist before opening it and repeating the process several times. Evan and Cassidy were shocked. Such was the shock and disbelief that they forgot about the world for a few moments.

"What? Is this real?" Evan commented incredulously. "Are you watching what I am, Cassidy?"

"No, mind you. I'm not watching Golden Freddy stand up when he shouldn't," Cassidy commented with tired sarcasm.

"No need to be sarcastic, Cassidy." Evan mentally shook his head in exasperation. "How is that possible?"

Cassidy rolled her eyes in annoyance "How am I supposed to know, Evan? It's better not to question and be happy for life's little miracles." she commented.

Evan being in full control of Golden Freddy, both of its sockets glowed an unearthly dark blue. The supernatural light emanating from the sockets of the Golden Freddy suit moved from one side to the other, as a pair of normal eyes would do to scan the room or in this case, the area in which they were.

"Where we are?" Evan looked at the Water City with childish wonder.

"Well, it looks like a cave and there's a lot of water. So we must be in a cave with water." Cassidy responded with the obvious, making Evan look at her blankly. Cassidy just rolled her eyes in annoyance. "If you don't want an obvious answer, then don't ask obvious questions, Evan."

Evan just shook his head in annoyed exasperation "You know. I'm not going to bother commenting on anything. I'll just try to find a way out of this place."

Cassidy pouted, she wanted to be the one controlling Golden Freddy, but she knew that she already used her turn and it was Evan's turn to be able to control Golden Freddy's suit.

"Now that I think about it, shouldn't we be resting after finding peace? Why are we still tied to the world like desolate souls?" Evan gave Cassidy a sidelong glance.

Cassidy clenched her fists in anger at the idea of what had happened. She doesn't know how strong the third party that intervened is, but she knows that person dared to intervene in their affairs, causing them to be teleported to another place. When she discovered the weakness of the one responsible for the interference, would regret it, but a lot.

The Golden Freddy suit stopped its walk and began to emanate a mischievous blue aura "Cassidy... what did you do? Why are we in this place? Why aren't our souls resting? It was all supposed to end when Uncle Henry and the night watchman led all souls into a trap, including my father. We made an agreement that we would also rest, right? Then why keep wandering?" Evan asked through gritted teeth as he maintained a calm fury. Seeing that Cassidy didn't respond, Evan lost it. "Answer, dammit!"

Cassidy made an embarrassed face. Evan Afton rarely got angry with her. Even though he didn't like her killing the night guards at the pizzeria, he didn't get mad at her.

There was only one bloody guard who refused to die at the hands of her and the others. She still remembers the night guard Mike Schmidt also called Fritz Smith, the bastard was cold and cunning.

Cassidy could only remember three times when Evan had gotten angry.

The first was when Evan remembered his brutal death and lashed out at her in a blind rage that made her tremble. The second was when Cassidy asked for her help in killing night guard Schmidt and Evan refused and they got into a heated argument (she was proud to say that she was finally able to convince Evan to help her). And three when the stupid night guard, even when they were both working together, had been mocked like idiot children (both angry and embarrassed by the humiliation) had argued with each other about not being able to kill him.

She still wondered how the bastard wasn't affected by their AGONY. But it wasn't something Cassidy wanted to think about right now. Worst of all, she couldn't see the stupid Night Watchman's face. She too couldn't spy on him due to his spiritual aura (She suspected that he had died or suffered a great tragedy to gain this supernatural gift, but she wasn't sure). In the end, the same night guard they tried to kill was the one who gave them the chance to stop William Afton and make their souls rest in peace. Which was kind of ironic if Cassidy thought about it.

But she had ruined that chance and now she had to live with the consequences of her actions.

"I…" Cassidy began with shame and guilt. "I…I lied to you, Evan." Cassidy could feel Evan's spirit sight looking deeply at her. Cassidy could feel all the pressure emanating from Evan. Not for nothing were they some of the strongest Vengeful ghosts in existence.

Evan made a spiritual gesture for Cassidy to continue while adding "Explain."

"When we were supposed to rest when Charlie's dad and the night guard Mike cheated in that fake pizzeria. When everything was burning. I lied to you about going to rest. Instead, I grabbed William's soul from the force and created a place to torture him over and over again for eternity, with the same creations of his." Cassidy explained.

Evan didn't respond, but you could feel his AGONY starting to emanate a fair amount of RAGE. Evan Afton felt betrayed for the second time. First when his brother murdered him and now with Cassidy (she was Evan's best friend) breaking her promise to rest. Evan understands why Cassidy has such an immense hatred for his father. William Afton, but we were supposed to rest.

What bothered and angered him was not that she had broken her promise to leave William alone, so they could both rest. What angered him was how selfish she was, because as long as Cassidy refuses to rest. He, Evan Afton can't rest either. Since their souls are tied. The two despite being different entities. Their Souls were united for eternity. So if one perished, it means the other would too.

"We were supposed to rest Cassidy!" Evan spat, his voice changing to an inhuman and scary one, "I thought we'd already agreed, BOTH OF US! That we would leave the demon to his demons. But no! The great Cassidy, as always doing the that suits her." The city of Agua began to tremble due to the large amount of RAGE and AGONY that the Golden Freddy suit was expelling.

"You wouldn't understand!" Cassidy responded with a large amount of venom. "You weren't killed by a fucking psychopath. You don't understand the pain I HAD TO GO THROUGH!" Cassidy's voice also turned inhuman and produced static.

Evan took a deep breath seeing that his AGONY was only adding to Cassidy's AGONY, causing the entire area to emanate such a dark and corrupted aura. So malicious that anyone not used to it would instantly faint from the sheer terror.

"You're wrong! Just because I died in a very different way doesn't mean I don't understand you, Cassidy. When Fredbear bit my head I could feel a great deal of Pain and AGONY and you know it. IT WAS FUCKING PAINFUL FOR ME! And the worst of all was not only the pain, but the most painful thing was also that my death was caused by my brother." Evan shook his head trying to put that memory away. It still hurt Evan to think about his death.

Evan was the cause of all his brother Mike's nightmares, He was so angry and wanted him to suffer (even though he knew his death was an accident). At first, it was funny for Evan to see him cry and apologize to him again like a pathetic crybaby. But then…then…his anger left him and he began to think about his actions and when Evan was willing to reveal himself to Mikey to apologize and forgive him. He just disappeared without a trace and all Evan found was his blood.

Evan was never able to find his brother again, even when he tried to search for him in the dream realm. He was only able to confirm that Mikey died thanks to the Old Consequences. Evan doesn't know what happened to him. But he suspected that his father had something to do with it.

If Evan had to pick one thing he agreed with Cassidy on. Then it would be his hatred towards William. If it weren't for his father, maybe the Aftons would be a happy family.

Evan gritted his teeth at the sudden self-contempt that welled up inside him. Evan took a deep breath to stop thinking and focus on the current situation.

"It's very different!" Cassidy snapped. While Evan was thinking, Cassidy managed to calm down a bit "Your death was a fucking accident. My death was on purpose. And it wasn't a quick and painless death, the fucking psycho bastard had fun killing us brutally. Poor Susie ripped both of their arms with a knife. A FUCKING KNIFE!"

"We agree that William is a sadistic, psychopathic bastard. I hate him too. He was the reason Elizabeth died because of Circus Baby. He was the bastard who murdered Charlie. He was the reason mother committed suicide and may be the reason for Mikey's death. I have a lot of reasons to hate him, a lot more than you do. Cassidy." Evan spat angrily. "But that's not the point. The point is that we're supposed to be resting in peace like the others. Like Gabriel, like Susie, like Jeremy, like Fritz, like Charlie. Instead, we're still wandering around like desolate souls... So you better explain to me how we are in this place." Evan for emphasis made a dramatic gesture in the Golden Freddy suit pointing across the Water City.

Cassidy didn't say anything for a few moments, thinking of the best way to explain it without Evan hating her. She couldn't help but make Evan angry at her stupidity and arrogance. But the least she could do was soften her explanation. No matter how she sees it, the situation is hard for her to explain.

"Well... first I created a place where all the robots from the entire franchise from Fazbear Entertainment and Circus Baby Entertainment and Rental were. I even added the robots from your nightmares. I grabbed William's soul and forced him to be the Nightguard to face all the robots at once. For William to die over and over again by different brutal deaths. Which he was forced to feel due to the place I believe was a method of torture for him. But…" Cassidy gritted her teeth. out of anger and indignation "In a moment of carelessness and arrogance on my part. The bastard escaped. I don't know how he did it, but bloody William escaped from his prison built by me."

"He... did he get away from you?" Evan felt like he was going to lose all patience from sheer rage and disbelief at this moment "Not only did you break your promise to me. You let that bastard William get away. Worst of all, who knows where William is right now? You know what your actions mean, right?" Evan asked, clenching his teeth so hard he thought they would break for a few moments.

"Yeah..." Cassidy said in an embarrassed whisper, damn she felt like a scolded child (which she thought she was in a sense). Due to her selfish actions, other children perished, unlike us. Those dead children didn't start wandering the earth as desolate souls since they didn't have the necessary AGONY (or even the power of Puppet), like the rest of us.

Freddy Fazbear Mega Pizzaplex. A place where William was able to murder several children in an attempt to fix his body. With the help of a girl named Vanessa (who was brainwashed into helping him). Cassidy was only able to stop William thanks to the help of a boy named Gregory (the boy was a doppelgänger of Evan if it hadn't been for his different attitude, the color of his eyes, or his different hair he could have been confused) and the Glamrock Freddy's AI.

But when Gregory, Glamrock Freddy, and Cassidy. They had released Vanessa from her mind control and were about to kill William forever. A third intruded. A being so powerful that they terrorized everyone, including the unfortunate Vanessa.

When William was desperate, he grabbed an artifact that he found and it was supposed to have great power over him. William, having no other choice, used the artifact to consume for himself. Unfortunately for William and everyone in the room. The artifact that was filled with malice was not AGONY imprinted on the item. It was the third one that was sealed.

William, with his supernatural power of AGONY, managed to free the third that was sealed. A being with such immense power, that even if all the Vengeful Ghosts came together to fight it they would still lose.

A being that would dominate itself like the god Kronos.

Cassidy only remembers the malice that Kronos radiated. Paralyzed with fear, she felt like the helpless child she once was. Before she was killed. She still remembered the words of the being who thinks it is a god.

"Ah. I've spent so much time locked up, I should be angry. But instead, I'm happy. As thanks, I'll send you to my world for you to entertain me. I'm super bored. I've been watching you while I was trapped, so I'm sure You will be my source of entertainment. I hope you don't disappoint me. Otherwise, you will know why you nickname me the evil and cruel god. Kronos"

Cassidy tried to fight the supernatural force that was thrown at everyone. But it was useless. It was as if he was fighting against a Tsunami. No matter what you tried it could never be stopped. And she along with the others was too close to avoid the impact of Kronos's power.

Cassidy snapped out of her thoughts when she saw that Evan was getting impatient.

If Cassidy had blood on her body, her cheeks would heat up with anger and embarrassment. "I tried to fix the mistake I made. I had some help, but... In the end, someone meddled and I failed."

"Help from whom? How did you fail? Was there another assassin working with William? Is that why he ran away and sent us to this place? Whatever it is" Evan asked question after question as he tried to be as rational as possible without letting the Panic and rage fill him.

"Yes. And you're not going to believe me, Evan, but the one who helped me was a boy just like you." Cassidy chuckled slightly. "Also, I wouldn't have failed to destroy William's soul, if it hadn't been for that meddlesome Kronos. I don't know who he was, but it seems he sent us somewhere else by force," Cassidy explained.

"Wait a minute... Are you saying someone strong enough managed to forcefully teleport us? One of the strongest Vengeful Ghosts in the world?" Evan said incredulously, a chill ran through his entire ghostly body.

Cassidy nodded seriously. "Listen, Evan. I don't know who this guy was, but I can tell you that it was extremely powerful. I'm not sure what it wanted from us other than to entertain it, but it's someone we should be very careful around." Cassidy gritted her teeth helplessly. "For now let's find out where we are and then think about what we're going to do with this Kronos guy."

Evan clenched the fists of the Golde Freddy suit in anger. A metallic crunch was heard throughout the 26th Floor of the Water City. "Entertain huh? I guess we'll play ball in the meantime." Evan could only shake his head from the Golden Freddy suit, his eyes scanning the shadows that began to approach them once they stopped expelling a large amount of AGONY.

Evan didn't like the situation they were in. Besides, he was still mad at Cassidy for breaking her promise. But for now, he would concentrate on getting out of this cave that was filled with water.

"Yeah, I guess," Cassidy murmured under her breath. Feels sad to feel Evan's emotions towards her (it was inconvenient when her souls were tied). But she doesn't say anything at the moment. Cassidy knows that Evan has every right to be mad at her.

Cassidy blinked as she felt the Golden Freddy suit jerk to a stop.

"Those are... are they... Monsters?" Evan commented in disbelief and horror. For the ugly beasts that began to surround the Golden Freddy suit. That's not to mention the horrible sounds some of them emanated.

Cassidy adjusted her vision so she could see what Evan was looking at. Seeing the monsters she was stunned.

"Shit. What the hell are those things?" Cassidy commented in disgust and horror. She also didn't like the hungry and bloodthirsty look these monsters were giving off. The color of their eyes was creepy to Cassidy and Evan.

"I don't know. But this all seems like a horror movie Mikey used to watch when we were alive." Evan shuddered remembering the nightmares those movies gave him, luckily at that time Mikey let him sleep in his room. Those were good times... Evan sighed, shaking Golden Freddy's head. "Never mind. These beasts are going to make a good de-stressed." Evan smiled wickedly.

"Hahaha," Cassidy chuckled evilly. "I like that line of thought. These stupid things have to be learned because no one messes with Golden Freddy." She gave a wolfish grin.

The dark blue light emanating from Golden Freddy's eye sockets began to glow dangerously. "That's something we can agree on. Cassidy," Evan chuckled childishly. The childish laughter that echoed from the Golden Freddy suit gave the monsters a lot of terror.

For a moment everything was tense, but the next Golden Freddy moved.

All the monsters from the 25th to the 27th Floor trembled in terror.

========================================

Confidential information:

Evan Afton. Vengeful Ghost. High Level 4.

Cassidy. Vengeful Ghost. High Level 4.

Golden Freddy. Evan and Cassidy's power fusion. Level 6.

Information was given by the author:

Evan Afton: He was the second of the Aftons to die. His sister Elizabeth was the first to die a year earlier. Evan Afton was the youngest child of the Aftons. After watching his sister's death at the hands of Circus Baby, one of the robots made by his father, he gains an irrational fear of animatronics. His father, seeing that fear, used it as a reason to generate more fear in him and make Evan stay away from the animatronics.

William created a record that could create illusions, due to the patterned sounds that it emanated to confuse the human brain so that it can see, feel, hear, and smell things that did not exist. That was how Evan fought tooth and nail with the Animatronics called nightmares with only his flashlight for seven nights. Leading up to the events of Five Nights at Freddy's 4.

Evan was killed on his ninth birthday by his older brother Michael Afton's prank gone completely wrong. This event became known as the Bite of '83.

Evan was a shy, kind, and fearful boy, but he could be astute and analytical when the situation called for it. After his death, Evan was blinded by blind rage to the point of torturing Michael with different nightmares. Evan even got to participate in the murders of the night guards when he was in a very bad mood.

After the disappearance of his brother Michael. His fury stepped into regret and guilt. Evan changed from a timid, kind, and fearful child to a child of a cynical and neutral nature. Though deep down he's still a total softie.

Evan was in spiritual limbo for two years. Before Charlie pulled him out of limbo with the gift of the gift.

Evan despite having a child's body, currently has 40 years of being trapped as a Vengeful Ghost. So his intelligence should not be underestimated.

Cassidy: When she was alive, she lived solely with her mother. Her parents were divorced, but her father always sent her mother money to support Cassidy.

Cassidy was someone who liked to tease people her age, though she never went too far. She liked to pick fights with children, getting to be in several fights that are considered for adults, one children's fight that went too far. Her mother loved Cassidy, but he didn't have much time to spend with her because of her job.

Cassidy rarely lets her vulnerable side show. Because Gabriel (one of the children killed by William) found her crying outside school. Despite her brave face and bravado, Gabriel managed to see through her and help her. Forming a friendship.

On June 26, 1985. Gabriel invited her to his birthday party. Cassidy, having nothing else to do, accepted the postponement, and that she was going to see free food. Sadly for Cassidy, Gabriel and three other children (Jeremy, Fritz, and Susie) were brutally murdered by William Afton after he tricked them into a room where no sound came out.

Cassidy out of sheer RAGE refused to leave the world of the living, but without a body to move. She couldn't do anything but stay in spiritual limbo for a while, but her time in spiritual limbo was short-lived. Charlie two days after her death, will take her out of limbo with her gift.

As there are two souls in the Golden Freddy suit. Charlie's gift evolved and brought full consciousness to Cassidy and Evan Afton. A boy who would become her best friend throughout her stay in the realm of the living as a Vengeful Ghost.

Cassidy full of rage and thirst for revenge kills many night guards for her sadistic pleasure. Although she is not malevolent, she was influenced by AGONY.

Cassidy and Charlie see that William is destroying the other kids' animatronics. They trick him into a trap, causing William to put on the faulty Spring Bonnie costume. William, making a sudden movement due to the great relief he felt at being in the weapon with which he murdered the children, activated the Springlocks. Giving a very, very painful death.

Cassidy reveled in the death of her killer, but she wasn't pleased with the results. So she stayed and waited. That and the night guard who tricked Cassidy and Evan made her curious. Unfortunately for her, she never managed to find out who the guard was. In addition to knowing all his nicknames of him.

Cassidy took advantage of the plan made by Charlie's father and the cunning night guard, to grab William's soul and torture it for eternity. But in an oversight, William escapes. Giving rise to the events of Freddy Fazbear Mega Pizzaplex.
