Day 5Ax6 - The Purple Squad

"Over here you oversized chicken!"

With a kiddie table in the centre, 2 humans and 2 animatronics sat. All of them too big for the kiddie chairs so they sat on the matted floor.

Bonnie, Moon, Gregory and you.

You began re-assembling your tool belt. Nothing had been damaged from when they fell out; at most the battery wires were tangled.

"Here's the situation." You begin. "The plex is on lockdown and all the animatronics have gone crazy. Based on what Sun said earlier, they apparently want me or they're trying to kill me, not sure."

You motion to Moon and Bonnie. "You two are the only sane animatronics so far. And even then, only half of him." They both nod, Moon having the same wide smile as before. "Why am I spared?" Moon asked, interrupting you. "I'm not entirely sure yet. I think it may have something to do the conditions this started under." You were starting to formulate a hypothesis regarding what exactly triggered this event. While you had a possible theory you didn't want to explain it yet.

"Anyways, me, Gregory and Vanessa are the only people in the plex. Vanessa is currently missing and I had her phone earlier so there's no way to contact her." You motion to Gregory. "Now then, wanna fill us in?" It was about time for some answers.

"Okay, but I need you to trust me. It's gonna sound crazy."

"If this is about last year's incident you can spare me the details. I already know."

Leaning back, Gregory looked at you with surprise. "Wait, what? How?"

"I read the report." You give a pointing thumb to Bonnie. "Also I filled him in earlier."

"That's right! The plex burned down and everyone died." Bonnie rang in enthusiastically. He was sitting cross legged, arms resting on his legs, chin resting in his hands. "Well, not exactly but we pretty much knows what happened." You say.

"I was fine. It was mostly the band. But the smoke ruined my clothes." Moon interjected. He was laid back, his arms pushing up his upper half. He was stretched out.

"You know everything?" Gregory questioned, confused at this outcome.

"Yep, we know the real reason of the fire to the virus and disappearances." You continued to fiddle with the wires. With the right connectors and plugging in your 'super-tazer' was functional again. You tighten the loops around your belt so that it doesn't fall out so easily next time.

"But, how? It was supposed to be a secret."

"It was?" Bonnie asked as if he was supposed to keep what you told him secret.

You shrug. "I had questions about the event. I was fixing Bonnie, and a few animatronics said they saw him during the incident. Just wanted to make sure."

Gregory had become even more confused. "Who said they saw Bonnie?"

"Well Sun did, also Monty."

"We said we saw a rabbit prancing around. It could have been Bonnie, it could not have been." Moon said referring to himself and Sun.

"Right. Monty was the one who was absolutely sure he saw Bonnie. Anyways, nevermind that. Go on."

"Monty said that?" Gregory asked with surprise. "How did he-?" Gregory trailed off in thought.

"I know what he saw. I don't know how but it wasn't Bonnie." He said worried. You hear him mutter words about 'stupid Monty not telling him' or something.

Gregory sighed. "Okay." He looked to all 3 at the table. "Can you guys promise to keep a secret? Nobody can know about this."

"Of course! My lips are sealed." Bonnie said first doing the zip lock motion.

"I doubt Sun can hear us right now but I guarantee I won't tell him." Moon said idly.

"Yeah, I kept Bonnie a secret from most of the animatronics. One more won't kill me." You say, realizing what a boldfaced lie that was. Well you kept him a secret from most of the animatronics. Come to think of it every single animatronic knows about Bonnie now.

Everything was re-assembled and back in your tool belt. It was also more secure now. You put the cans of soda back too. They were even more shaken.

You do a quick scan of yourself. You had the tool belt, Fazwatch, phone, tazer, battery, wrench, screwdriver and cans of soda. I am a walking arsenal. You think.

"This wasn't in the report but there was a rabbit that night. It wasn't Bonnie though. Vanessa, she had some sort of condition. She would become a different person. Like she was possessed. When that happened she would become Vanny."

You were listening attentively, playing back the times you've met Vanessa and if she ever acted strangely.

"I don't know what triggered it that night but something took control of her. She would put on this bunny costume and would command the animatronics. Make them do all sorts of things."

You recall when she nearly fainted upon seeing Bonnie. Could that have triggered something? A repressed memory, perhaps? She was also dodging your questions yesterday. Now that you had this information you questioned every conversation you had with her.

"But since the incident she had been fine. Vanny was no more. I, well me and Freddy stopped what was controlling her. She had some tool, something that could make it so they couldn't see her well. I guess Monty confused them."

You looked to Bonnie. His face expressed a mixture of fear and relief that he didn't have to go through this.

"She wasn't the mastermind but she did do a lot for them. They-I-I would rather not think about that right now." Gregory shuddered.

You understood what Gregory was getting at.

"And now she and her master are back." You interject.

"Yes. Look." Gregory grabbed his phone. Navigating to his texts he showed it to you. A little bit before you found Vanessa's phone she had sent 4 messages.

"I want to play a game Gregory.

You're going to have so much fun.

Once I'm done here, I will find you!

I've missed you so much!"

The fours texts from Vanessa read. Gregory replied many times after that expressing it as a bad joke then slowly realizing what had actually happened.

"Something brought her back and caused all this to happen." Gregory put the phone away.

"That's why I need Freddy. If it's all happening again he can stop her. He was immune to her somehow. He would be able to help. He knows where that thing is."

"I'm not sure I follow. The big difference now is there are four of us instead of just you and Freddy. You were there with him, can't you just retrace your steps?"

Gregory looks down. "Last year we got to this place deep in the plex. It was underground. It was like this other secret plex. But after the..fight...there was an earthquake and it was cut off. That's the source of where all this was. Freddy would know how to get there again." He said sadly.

"Was that place destroyed?" Bonnie said after some silence.

"I think so. But if-"

"Well how can we be sure that's where this came from?" Bonnie asked innocently.

"Huh?"

"Maybe there is another way." Moon said.

"What do you mean?" Gregory asked.

"Hmmm." You said quietly. You understood what they were getting at. "Well, last year's incident was caused by whatever was under the plex right? How do we know that whatever caused tonight's events is the same thing?" You ask.

"It has to be though!"

"The central call system is down, as is most of the network. I can't see how the animatronics are being controlled. It can't be cellular because it would interfere with our phones, and it can't be microwave, that's not legal." You check your watch. It still read LIMITED ACCESS. P2P MODE ENABLED.

"And it can't be via peer to peer or meshnet because then Bonnie and Moon would have instantly gotten infected." You were geeking out.

Moon tilted his head slightly, confused at what you were saying. Gregory looked unsure too. Bonnie looked unsure but nodded in agreement.

"Okay, let me rephrase. What if the animatronics weren't being fully controlled right now? Like how was Moon not affected but Sun was?"

"Wait a minute." You proclaim. "Some bots had been trying to kill me, others were just trying to get me. There's no pattern."

"There's no leader." Moon said.

"Exactly! And the bots have barely acknowledged Bonnie's presence too. That would also explain why Sun couldn't figure out who to attack when we cornered him. There's no order tonight." You felt like a genius.

Your genius high quickly vanishes as you make another realization. You get a sinking feeling in your stomach. You check your pocket, the strange chip still present. Could this have been what caused it? You decide to say nothing on the subject for now. The last thing you wanted to do was blame Bonnie.

"I see. But then how do we fix everyone?" Gregory asked.

"I'm not sure yet but-". You pause upon hearing something make a loud crash at the end of the daycare. It was near the ball pit. Either they had scaled the wall or came through the slide, something or someone was now in the daycare.

It utters a sound from the other end of the daycare.

"Buhcock!" It sounded like a chicken.

"Chica!" Bonnie said enthusiastically and started to rise. You grab him, signalling that it's not a good idea yet. You ready your tazer, Gregory his pistol and Moon flips up doing an acrobatic move.

"What if she's okay?" Bonnie whispers.

"We don't know that yet. Better safe than sorry." The four of you were ready for combat.

"Where are youuuuuuu..." You hear Chica say ominously from a distance. You look to Bonnie who silently sighs, understanding she's lost it too.

"I just want to talk, (Y/N). Hehehehe." She says, slurring your name.

"Everyone huddle." You say quietly. Everyone gathers.

"We need to restrain her, then we can see if we can fix her."

"You sure? Won't it be easy to just destroy her?"

"What? No! Then I gotta fix her. We can figure out what exactly is wrong with her". You say, surprised by Gregory's sudden gung-ho attitude.

What do we do?" Bonnie asked.

"I can get her tangled in my playground. I just need to set it up." Moon suggested.

"Alright, I'll help you with that. Gregory, can you bait Chica to the trap?"

"What? Why do I have to be bait?"

"Because, between you and me you're probably the fastest."

"But-".

"Plus, you've got practice. I saw you dodging Roxanne the other night. Plus I'm sure you've ran from her before."

"Ugh, fine."

"We'll shout when. Gregory, jump out of the way when we shout."

Gregory nods. He gets up and starts fiddling with his laser gun.

"Bonnie, can you tackle Chica into it? We'll tell you when it's set up."

Bonnie nods. "Okay! I can do that. Just don't hurt her."

Chica was approaching slowly. She hadn't figured out where you were, just that you were in the daycare. She hadn't figured out how badly outnumbered she was either.

"Any objections?" Everyone said no in unison. "Good luck." Gregory and Bonnie ran off in direction of Chica. You followed Moon. Along the way he started grabbing blankets strewn about the place. You grab some too."

"(Y/N)..." Chica taunts.

"Stay hidden. Just in case." Gregory said to Bonnie who split off, going a different direction. Facing down Chica, Gregory looked to her. She hadn't noticed him but was otherwise looking the same. Though it was hard to see it looked like her eyes had gone all black with a white spot present instead of the coloured eyes.

He raised his laser gun and fired, purposely missing her head but instead shooting at her stomach. He needed to get her attention.

"Over here you oversized chicken!" Gregory shouted and continued firing.

She turned. "Gregory! What a surprise! Come here. You'll work nicely too." She said, smiling and started walking towards Gregory.

From behind a playset Bonnie watched. She had always been the "fit" and "exercise-heavy" one of the group but she was walking strangely. She was limping almost, walking without any regard for posture.

Bonnie knew that whatever was chasing Gregory, it was not the Chica he knew.

Positive she was aggro'd on him Gregory started running, intending to lead Chica for as long as he needed. Bonnie stayed close, watching in case things got out of hand.

"Here." Moon whispered leading you to one of the playsets. It was a large playground-like setup with open squares in-between the fencing so kids could go in and out. He looked it up and down and checked if his head fit in the spaces. It did, but required him to manoeuvre it out. "This will work. Follow my lead." He said to you and started tying blankets between some of the spaces to create a net. You did so too.

Chica continued to make chase of Gregory. Bonnie had scaled the playground in order to watch from above. He wasn't sure but guessed Chica had not noticed him yet. She was too focused on Gregory.

Despite the dismal circumstances of the chase, Bonnie was thrilled. It was like he was playing a massive prank on Chica! He couldn't help but smile at the situation before him, imagining how funny it would be.

"There's nowhere to run, Gregory. Just come with me." She said.

"Bonnie can tackle her through here, she won't be able to get out." You look over your work. Bonnie would need to be careful but it looked do-able.

"Guys! Over here!" You shouted. You heard Bonnie jumping around above on his way as well as Gregory coming.

Bonnie jumped down, landing in front of you and Moon. You pointed to the trap. "You need to tackle her there, alright?" "Got it!" Bonnie said, he ran off near the ballpit, hiding, ready to strike.

"And don't damage her!" You shout to him. You notice him give thumbs up as he made his way.

Gregory made it to you before Chica. You quickly explain to him the trap and run off. He waits, getting ready for Chica. Moon climbed the set, getting ready to tie up Chica with the remaining blankets. You run off to where Bonnie is, hiding near the ball pit.

As Chica turned the corner, Gregory ducked underneath the meeting table. He didn't know how but for some reason Chica just couldn't ever see him when he went under a table, no matter how obvious. It worked and she had lost him.

"Now is not the time for hide and seek..." She said dauntingly. She walked past Gregory and started going towards you and Bonnie's hiding place. Once there was enough distance and a good angle, Gregory rose and shouted. "Come get me!" Chica turned seeing Gregory by the playset. She raised her hands in front.

"Good boy! Now stay still." She started sauntering slowly towards the boy.

Gregory looked to you and Bonnie, waiting for the signal.

Thinking quickly you grab a ball from the pit and throw it at her.

"Now!" You shout. The ball gets her attention and she turns. It gives enough time for Gregory to jump out of the way.

Emitting a scream Bonnie launches himself and lunges at Chica. The force sends both of them into the playset, Chica's head getting caught in the space. In the confusion, Moon climbed down and quickly used the blankets to tie up her arms.

You help Bonnie out of the entanglement. Chica was effectively stuck. To make sure Moon also tied a blanket around one of her legs. She struggled, unable to break free.

"You little! Let me go!" She shouted, angry. Moon helps Gregory up and the four of you stand in front.

"Good job everyone." You thank the group.

"S-security alert! Help!" Chica bellowed. Not wanting any undue attention you whisper to Moon to silence her. He nods and gets a blanket, tying it around her beak tightly. Now fully restrained all she could do was stare you at you, eyes full of anger.

You felt bad for doing this to Chica but knew that as soon as she was fixed you would let her go. Plus, it's far better than what happened to her last year.

Better to have a quiet beak then no beak at all. You think.

"So what do we do now?" Gregory asked.

You think. Sun transitioning to Moon could be explained via a reboot. Maybe that's all you needed to do. You stuck to your theory that the bots weren't being controlled.

"We could wait for her battery to run out." Bonnie suggested.

"We don't have enough time for that. They're batteries are much stronger since the incident." Gregory said.

"Maybe it would stop in the morning." Moon said.

"That's a big if though." You said. "Wait a minute.." You think silently. Rebooting looked to be the only way that had any merit. You recall the paper from a few days ago on rebooting. It was possible though you didn't have an instrument to play the tone poem nor did you have a FLOOR, or glorified laser pointer.

Then it hits you. You take notice of the laser gun Gregory was carrying. Could it use the same technology? You load up your phone and scroll to the photo of the laser sequence. The others were watching you expectantly.

"Gregory?" You ask.

"Uh-huh."

"Could I borrow your laser gun?" You ask. Judging by how Chica was starring daggers at you and Gregory she hadn't picked up on Bonnie's presence. You put the phone aside.

"Sure. Here." Gregory hands you the laser gun. It felt heavy, clearly made of metal unlike the plastic you had expected. This was an actual weapon. You stare at the photo, memorizing the sequence. It looked to be binary but you weren't interested in converting it.

There were two sequences one for SIGKILL and SIGTERM. You guess SIGTERM meant terminate but were unsure of the difference. You go with SIGTERM as SIGKILL seemed a little over the top.

Before you could shoot Chica you wonder if using this would damage her eyes. After all, in humans a laser pointer in the eye was extremely dangerous.

"Hey Bonnie, the laser guns, do they cause any damage to the eyes?"

"Uh, no. It's just annoying. Why?"

"Just want to make sure I'm not hurting her." Bonnie looked at you puzzled.

You aim the gun and fire to the sequence, shots waiting different amounts of seconds between them. Chica struggles in agony as you do it. You felt bad but rationalized it against last year's incident, it could always be worse.

Bonnie, Moon and Gregory were just watching with baited breath as you shot at Chica. They had no idea what you were doing but figured you knew what you were doing at least.

The final shot rang out and instantly Chica's lights went out and she slumped over in her binds.

"W-what did you do?" Bonnie asked concerned for his avian friend.

"I think I rebooted her. Wait."

Bonnie approached her trying to find any sign of life but she was out. He poked her.

"I don't think it worked." Gregory said, annoyed.

Like an electric shock, Chica's whole body shook. Then, sure enough her eyes lit up a blue light emanating from them. Bonnie nearly jumped to the ceiling, having been startled. Her eyes blinked as she turned on. She tried to move, quickly finding herself bound. Unable to speak she looked around surveying the site.

"There's a light sequence that when activated causes them to reboot." You say handing the gun back to Gregory.

Chica continued to look around. She saw you, Gregory, Moon and lastly, Bonnie. As soon as she locked eyes, hers light up. Though she couldn't speak her eyes showed surprise. There was just a mixture of confusion too, unsure of why she was in this position. You go to untie her beak. She looked to be back to normal.

"Bonnie! You're back!" She said, struggling in her binds. Bonnie practically did a dance, giddy with excitement. "Chica! It's you! You're back!" He ran up to hug her, and did so tightly. Though she couldn't move she tried to reciprocate.

"I can't believe it! You're okay!" Bonnie said, ecstatic. "Guess it worked then." Moon chimed in.

After a minute Bonnie finally let go. He started untying Chica from her restraints, Moon helping.

"Why was I tied up? What's going on?" Chica asked.

You sigh. Not wanting to really explain the whole situation yet again you give her the extremely condensed version. "Basically, the SB-9 incident is happening again." Saying that caused her eyes to go wide. She looked frantically at everyone, Gregory's presence serving as all the proof she needed.

"B-but how? Why?"

"We don't know yet. We captured you and tried to see if we could fix you." Gregory said holstering his gun.

You notice Moon was having trouble with some of the binds.

"Well, it's not exactly the same. What we do know is that rebooting you guys fixes it. Bonnie and Moon are the only two guys not affected right now. Well, and you now."

"Oh my. This is not good. What about Vanessa? Where is she?"

Gregory looks down. "We, uh, don't know right now." You said. Might as well spare her the trouble of Vanny, you don't even know if Chica knows about that.

"What was the last thing you remember?" You ask. Moon motions Gregory over to help with the binds. There was something wrong.

"Well, I, we, the band were setting up.." She looks to Bonnie. "Something but then I heard a sound and then I just..woke up here. I saw lots of static and bits of the plex. It was really...confusing." Chica testified.

You look to Bonnie, the realization that it might have been that scream sinking in. You feel the chip in your pocket. Surely it couldn't have been that.

"You feel fine right now though, right?" Bonnie asked.

Chica nodded as best she could. Her head was still lodged in the playset. You were noticing that now Gregory was struggling too with the binds. Both of them were now behind Chica in the playset.

"Everything alright back there?" You ask, slightly concerned.

"Y-yeah. Just working on it." Gregory said.

"That doesn't sound sure to me." Moon crawls out of the playset and motions you over to talk privately.

"She's stuck. I can't get her out. Bonnie must have pushed her too deep in." Moon whispered to you. He sounded more serious than he looked. He pointed to a few parts on Chica's legs, arms and head that were lodged firmly within the orange-coloured playset. "What do we do?" Moon asked.

Chica could see the two of you whispering. "What's wrong?" She struggled a bit.

"Well I could dissemble the playset but that's gonna take too much time. You sure we can't get her out?" You whisper.

Finally Gregory crawled out of the playset, a look of worry on his face. "Yeah, she's stuck."

"W-what?" Chica said, trying to move again.

You sigh and go to look. Sure enough she was completely stuck, even her head had been lodged in one of the squares through force. IT wasn't big enough for her to move out of. She was firmly stuck, no doubt thanks to Bonnie tackling her. It looked like you could get her out but time was of the essence.

You just rationalize that it was always possible she could get 're-corrupted'. Might as well keep her in one spot.

"Yeah, you're stuck. I can take apart the playset but it's gonna take a lot of time. We need to focus on fixing the rest of the plex first." You say convincingly.

Still worried, Chica relaxes in the binds. No point in causing damage, you think. "I'll just stay here then. It's probably safer." She says.

"Since the laser worked could we do it to all the animatronics?" Bonnie suggested.

"I don't think so. There's a lot of animatronics and we'd have to restrain every single one." Gregory interjected. You nod in agreement. Restraining Chica took 4 people. Restraining an actual threatening animatronic like Roxanne would be impossible.

"I only have so many blankets." Moon said.

You think. "Well there was another way." You pull out your phone again and start scrolling for right photo. "There's a series of sounds that when played force them to reboot." You explain, reading through the paper photo.

Like a light bulb above your head you get an idea. "If we could broadcast the tones across the plex it should force everyone to reset."

"That should work." Chica says. "Yeah." Bonnie agrees. "How do we do it?" Moon asks.

"But the system is still down. I heard it when I came in." Moon interjects.

"Oh, you could just reboot it. The controls are in Parts." Chica says.

You recall Vanessa mentioning there being some sort of central security hub in the arcade. And the reset room was in parts. You check the map.

They were in completely opposite directions. You consider the option of bringing everyone to the reset room then all the way to the arcade.

Instantly, a plan forms.

"We'll split into two groups. One will reboot the system and the other will play the reset code."

Nobody objects.

"Gregory and Moon will fix the reset and power on the system and Bonnie and I will go to play the tones. Chica will, uh, stay here I guess."

Chica nods in agreement.

"Wait, why do I have to go with Moon? Shouldn't I go with Bonnie? I can hide inside him. You can't."

"And why do I have to take the child? I shouldn't! Not after all he's done to my daycare." Moon scowled. "You and I should team up, we're both natural performers."

You sigh. "I rebuilt Bonnie, I have to keep monitoring him. Plus, you and Moon are agile, you guys can be way more stealthy." You stand by Bonnie.

While Gregory had a point about hiding, you barely knew Moon. You'd rather keep the lightweights and heavyweights separated.

"But. But.-" Gregory and Moon say in unison.

"Look. This will be a learning experience for both of you." Bonnie said, kneeling and putting a hand on both the attendant and kid. "(Y/N)'s right. You two can sort out your differences."

Both Moon and Gregory stared at each other, annoyed.

You sigh again.

"Argh, fine. Whatever." Gregory said, giving up trying to change your mind.

"It's all water under the bridge. Just make up and let's get going." You say.

"Fine." Moon said defeated.

"Gregory, don't do anything to Moon or I swear I will have you banned."

"I won't. It's him you should be worried about. He's all weird. He tried to attack me back then!"

Though Moon had a perpetual smile you saw his eyes narrow in vexation. His smiled shrunk slightly.

"And Moon, don't let Gregory get hurt or I swear I will make it so they find a new daycare attendant. Protect the boy."

Moon glares at you. "Fine. I will not let the child get harmed. As long as he plays by the rules. Humph."

"Good. Now shake hands." You said firmly.

"What?" said Moon.

"Why?" said Gregory.

"Just do it."

Looking at each other both Gregory and Moon shake hands. An uneasy alliance was formed.

"Humph. I hope Freddy's okay so I can ditch you." You hear Gregory mumble under his breath.

"We'll split up here. It's better if we don't go the same way. Keep them looking." You say. "Based on what Chica said you're a target too."You say to Gregory. He nods in agreement.

"That's right." Gregory said, now reflecting on Chica's words. "That means there is no plan. He might not be around..." He said quietly, muttering something else you don't catch.

"Exactly." You say.

"What? What means no plan?" Bonnie asked confused.

"Well, 'evil' Chica said she could take Gregory too. It means there's no 'plan' per se. So they aren't organized. It means we have a pretty good shot now. I'd say."

"So, Gregory and Moon you guys exit the daycare from the main entrance and go to parts from there." You check the map again. Bonnie stated earlier that there were two entrances to the daycare. "Bonnie and I will go out from the other exit." Bonnie nods in agreement.

"Any other questions?" Nobody had any. "Alright, then we'll split up. Gregory and I will communicate via text and after all this is done we will meet up by the stage." Everyone nodded in agreement.

You pull out your notepad, scribbling a note down. Though Gregory was holding out that Freddy would be okay you weren't convinced. You write down all the 'persons of interest' and their status.

BONNIE: SAVED

This was gonna be a tough night.

You close the note. It was time to enact this plan.

"Wait!" Bonnie said finally.

"What is it?"

"Could we call ourselves the Purple Squad?"

"Huh, why?"

"Well it's cool. We're like superheroes tonight." Bonnie's cheeriness was shining through and through.

"We're not all wearing Purple though." You notice that by coincidence everyone in this 'clique' was wearing some sort of purple. Because of the light even your jacket looked slightly purple.

"It's my favourite colour!"

You look to the others. Gregory just shrugs.

"Alright fine, we'll be the Purple Squad."

(guy is wearing a helmet to hide the face, would've looked terrible if I just censored it normally)

"Oh, Goodie!" Bonnie put his hand out expectantly. You understood what he meant. You put your hand on top of his, then motion for Moon and Gregory to do the same. Once everyone was in the circle, Bonnie raised his and everyone's hands.

"Goooooo...Purple Squad!" Bonnie shouted.

"Go Purple Squad!" Chica said, chiming in. You look to Chica and promise her that you would be back for her.

And with that the group was split into two. The Purple Squad departed from the daycare leaving Chica by her lonesome.

Ten minutes later a janitorial bot stumbled into the daycare, corruption present in its eyes. Chica watched as it stumbled past the slide and into the ball pit. It was carrying something. It rolled out of the pit moving in random sequences. It was carrying a garbage bag. It must have been after you, having come much to late to the party. It moved around aimlessly throughout the daycare.

Chica watched in horror as it continued to roll around, like it was taunting her. She had hoped it would just leave but then it stumbled on a loose ball tripping over and sending the garbage bag landing in front of her. It ripped open, spilling its contents over the daycare floor in front of Chica.

It's light went out as its battery died. Left, Chica was, screaming for you, Bonnie, Gregory, Moon anyone to help her as she stared at the garbage and struggled. Her appetite consumed her, forcing her to watch as pristine garbage remained just out of her sight and reach. Whether the bot was a mistake or intentional she was furious at the situation she was stuck in.

The next chapter will be called A Pair of Troublemakers.
