Withered Bonnie watched the scene going on in front of him in confusion. Every time one of the Animatronic's entered the room the light's freaked out and they just walked away in a random direction, he watched as Toy Bonnie walked into the room, the light's freaked, then walked out into a Party room.

"Wait where am I?" He heard Toy Bonnie call as he poked out of the room.

"I don't understand." Withered Bonnie said in confusion "This wasn't happening yesterday!"

"Well," Toy Freddy said, peaking out of a nearby door "It did happen when I went in, it's what let me drop the Puppet off...though I didn't walk to a random room without realizing in a flash of memory loss." Withered Bonnie grumbled for a moment.

"Alright so this'll be harder than I first thought...but we'll get him eventually! Mix it up, be unpredictable! Balloon Colt steal his Flashlight! Mangel be as loud as you can! Everyone else just try your best!" there was a cheer from the other animatronics before they set off. as this went on Fredbear and the Puppet was standing next to each other, The Puppet had just finished explaining the situation and Fredbear was taking the information in.

"So I'm dead?" it asked.

"Pretty much yeah." The Puppet said with a nod "and it might be sorta my..."

"It's his fault." Fredbear said as he got up "it's his fault." The Puppet shrugged.

"I can not argue with that," he said as he offered his hand "What say you? Help me stop him before more souls join us?" Freadbear smiled, or did the closest thing to a smile it could do, and took The Puppets hand.

"Let's send him to the deepest pit's of Tartarus," Freadbear said as they shook

"Sounds like a plan," The Puppet replied, for a brief moment the two stood before each other as a Unicorn and a Dragon before turning back.

"What was that?" Fredbear asked in confusion as he looked around.

"What was what?" The Puppet asked in confusion as he looked around the room for what Fredbear had seen, Fredbear didn't reply for a moment as he stared silently at The Puppet before shaking his head.

"Must have been a trick of the light," he decided "So we just head out or..."

"No, first we decide on a story to tell the other...more childish animatronics, then we can clue in Withered Bonnie in the parts and service room.


The Animatronics were gathered around the stage, save Toy Chica who was still guarding the wall.

"OK," Wither Bonnie said as he sat on the stage, looking up at the Camera "So he can see us anywhere, but we can only see him in a few places, we need a plan of attack, need to sneak in before he puts that mask on" Bonnie scratched his chin in thought as The other Animatronics spitballed ideas, each consecutive idea being sillier than the last, Toy Freddie was in the middle of describing his Cupcake plan when Toy Chica let out a squeak and gained the Groups attention, they watched as she jumped away from the wall as it opened and the Puppet peaked out.

"The Puppet has a Puppet cave," Toy Bonnie said in shock "I want a Bonnie Cave,"

"You'd have to share it with me if you got one," Withered Bonnie said as he got to his feet and made his way to the Puppet, the Group following.

"So?" Toy Freddy asked as he motioned to the door. "How long you had this?"

"Sorry for not telling you about it sooner," The Puppet replied "But I didn't want to get your hopes up if I couldn't wake up our new friend," There was a moment of silence before the Puppet was swamped by all the Animatronics save Withered Bonnie, who looked back at the Camera in silence.

"Don't keep us waiting," Mangle Garbled in excitement "Who's getting a sibling?" The Puppet moved out of the Doorway and Fredbear lumbered through the hall, he was a good head taller than Toy Freddy, who had stars in his eyes.

"Yus," Toy Freddy cheered with a fist pump "You can never have enough Freddy!"

"Hello," Fredbear said offering Freddy his hand, which was accepted with glee, "I'm Fredbear,"

"Fredbear?" Freddy asked "What a unique name,"

"I was the original mascot for the restaurant back when it was just me and Spring Bonnie,"

"There's a third Bonnie?" Toy Bonnie demanded before turning to the Puppet, "That's Awesome!" The Puppet frowned.

"Not so much," he pointed to the hall "you know that exoskeleton that's in the office right now?"

"Yea?" Toy Bonnie replied.

"Sorry to tell you bud," Puppet said with a head shake "But that's Spring Bonnie," Toy Bonnie looked horrified, Toy Freddy, on the other hand, looked relieved.

"Oh thank goodness," Toy Bonnie looked at Freddy before looking to the office with an offended look.

"You figured it out didn't you?" Toy Bonnie asked turning to Withered Bonnie "That's why you want us to stuff him back into his suit," The Puppet looked at Withered Bonnie is silence as Toy Bonnie continued "Well I'm all aboard now Brother, Let's get this disgrace of a Bonnie and put him back in his suit," Toy Bonnie stood proud "And if we can't stuff him back into it, we'll leave it in front of the Stage! Either he goes back where he belongs or he gets taken to Robot Jail,"

"I don't think that's a thing, Bonnie," Toy Chica said before being patted by Withered Bonnie.

"Just let him have his moment," They watched as Toy Bonnie marched down the hall, and returned almost immediately.

"Where would his suit be?" The Group turned to Fredbear and the Puppet the two turned back to the hall.

"It's just kind of sitting in there," Fredbear said simply before Toy Bonnie ran down the hall screaming.

"CHARGE!!!"


Will looked at his camera footage in silence, The only animatronic he could see was the Mangle staring at the Prize corner Camera, He tried using his bugs but all he could hear was breathing.

"This place is starting to get a little crazy," He muttered as he got up and looked down the hall "Better scope the place out," He put the Freddy mask on and snuck down the hall slowly, upon getting to the corner he peeked around it and saw all the Animatronics huddled around the Prize Corner, he could just hear them.

"Keep in place Mangle," Toy Freddy said as he backed away from the Prize corner "Can't let him see us coming," Will chuckled at that.

"They're actively trying to get me," He said with a smile "How cu-" Will froze as Golden Freddy came into View, dragging with him the top half of the Golden Bonnie suit, Toy Bonnie was following behind holding its feet. Before he could properly react two of the Animatronics came from Kids cove, Withered Bonnie and the Puppet. He backed up a little but stayed close enough to hear the two talking.

"-He needs to die," Withered Bonnie said angrily "That murderous son of a-"

"language," The Puppet warned "Your right, the Guard is a monster and deserves nothing less than death, but if you kill him your robbing so many others of avenging their lost loved ones, you want this out of vengeance, they need this for closure,"

"I don't care about loved ones or closure, he will kill again, and I'm going to stop him," There was a long silence before the Puppet replied.

"I'm not going to get in your way, and I'm not going to try and stop you, but I'm not going to help you in your mission of vengeance,"

"Thank you," Withered replied before calling out loudly "Hey Fredbear, you have any idea how to open the Spring Bonnie suit? Gonna be hard to stuff our friend inside it without being able to open it," Will rushed back to his office sweating as he took the mask off.

"Alright," he said as he looked down the hall "So shits hit the fan, how do I solve this?" Will sat in his chair and looked down and changed the camera to the main stage, the Spring Bonnie suit had been set in a sitting position in front of the stage and the other animatronics were crowded around it, Will scratched his head before smiling and picking up the office phone in a rush. He dialed up a number and after his third attempt got an answer.

"Celestia Dammit," The Voice on the other end said irritably "What are the clocks broken or something? it's 3 am Will, I'm not supposed to come in until 6,"

"Hey sorry, bud," Will replied smiling "But have I got an offer for you,"


The Puppet and Fredbear were chilling in the Ballpit together, the other Animatronics were tying their dam near hardest to get at the Guard, to no avail thus far. The Puppet had sunken deep into the pit, Fredbear was sitting on the edge with his large plastic feet in the pit.

"Can't we just leave?" Fredbear asked looking towards the door,

"Door's locked, and we don't have much control over our bodies during the day,"

"So where do I go during the day?"

"You can hang out with Withered Bonnie in the parts and service room or go back to your hidden room,"

"I'll hang with Withered Bonnie," Fredbear replied with little thought "The Company will be nice,"

"I'm sure Withered Bonnie will be happy to hear," Puppet replied as he began pulling himself out of the pit "It's almost 6, so you should probably head over there, Withered Bonnie has a few things you can do, think he has a book or two stashed in there, you could also do a quick raid of the lost and found, see if anything strikes your fancy, I doubt most ponies are willing to come back to this place, save a few idiots and children who sneak away from their parents." The Puppet pointed to the front desk next to the front door and Fredbear made his way to the desk as the Puppet made his way back into his box, Fredbear got to the desk and looked out the door, it was still dark out but he could see the outside world, the street was baren, the stars were sparkling in the sky, The Moon was slowly making its way through the sky, just barely viewable. Fredbear looked outside for a while before turning to the Lost and Found, it was mostly empty but sitting on the desk was a Book with a Golden horseshoe and a Purple star on it. Fredbear took the book and headed to the main hall, where Toy Bonnie was wishing Withered Bonnie a good day.

"Oh, you heading my way?" Withered asked pointing to the Parts and service room.

"Seems so," Fredbear confirmed, Withered waved goodbye to Toy and The two made their way into the Parts and Service room, Withered took his place with the non-active Animatronics and seemed to do something reminiscent of going to sleep, Fredbear looked at him before turning back to his book and opening it to the first page.


The Puppet waited in excitement as he looked at Spring Bonnie, the other Animatronic were on stage and waiting for the children, the chime sounded and watched as the Purple guy walked down the hall whistling. He stood in the middle of the room and said loudly.

"I must say I am impressed," He said looking the Puppet dead in the eye "You almost had it, you could have gotten it to, if you'd just waited for a night where I wasn't on duty," The Purple guy walked over to the Puppet and got on his knees and he whispered.

"You know, the book mentioned that the soul could fuse with the object but even so I didn't expect this, your pretty impressive Dragon," He gave a nasty smile. "But it's not that hard to call the guy who's supposed to be here and take his shift, especially when the place you work is a murder scene," The Purple guy stood up as the Puppet glared at him with hate, "Sadly it seems you guys lack the...ability to properly speak your mind during the day, and the skill the catch me at night," The Purple Guy made his way to Spring Bonnie and hoisted it up and began dragging him back into the, not so secret room next to the prize corner. "But don't worry, this room has a lot more secrets, and since this isn't the only way in I'll make sure this door is nice and sealed up by the end of the day," The Puppet waited in silent rage for almost 10 minutes before Purple guy returned not form the door, but from the kitchen. He smiled at the Puppet and winked at it before going to open the door before going to edit the camera footage. The Puppet watched him until he was gone from view, rage was still burning in his eyes, not from being outsmarted, but because the Purple guy had called him Dragon. The Puppet hid back in his box, forming a plan as to how to deal with the murderous scum that was currently in the office.
