A Long Overdue Fix

End Of Grace

Chapter 24: A Long Overdue Fix

Mike collapsed on his bed, his leg was aching and his head was throbbing. He didn't know how Connie did it. Give him kids any day, because those teenagers and adults were pains in the arses, he was so glad for the blackouts so he could direct the triplets or Plush to people who had pissed him off. He closed his eyes for only a moment when he heard his phone go off. He glared at the clock and was surprised when it read ten and that it was Freddy.

"Hey Freddy. Morning. Is this import...? Oh...oh god….yeah...ok. I'm coming over now. Just give me a couple of minutes. I'll inform families that their parties are can….Are you sure? Yeah I'm sure the others could lend a servo. Sure. I'll organise everything. God, Freddy, I'm so so sorry. Yes, Yes, I'll make sure everyone knows. Yeah. See you in the bit"

A lump foamed in his throat and it refused to go down. Goldie had died. His processor simply burnt out as he wished it would. According to Freddy, Goldie must have known his time was up as he spent the day with him and their son Sooty and died on stage in his sleep mode. Just as he had wanted. He had to get over there and sort things out, plus be there for Bonnie and Shadow, plus the others as well. He rang Foxy himself and told the fox the sad news, he could almost hear Foxy's pump break, as he listen to the fox's voice box crackle as he strained to talk. Mark would guard over them today and tonight but Balloon Boy and Blu were going to be picked up and bought over to Freddy's to help cover as Freddy nor Sooty were going to be up to the task. He then called Big Daddy, who saw Goldie as a bit of a mentor and older brother, the black bear asking if there was anything he could do to help and Mike said to talk to Freddy later about it. He booted his computer and flicked the TV on just to get the news when he saw the warning for a coming storm. He quickly text a warning to the pizzerias and told them to take precautions for tonight. Once the computer was ready he sat down and wrote a very long email to the staff of the pizzerias, explaining Goldie's passing as well as his role in the history of Freddy Fazbear's and asked the staff to be a little nicer or at least understanding if they seemed off. Also if anyone was working late, they were allowed to clock out early to get home before the storm. He finished getting ready quickly and was lockinghis fount door when Adam came up to him, dressed for collage with his bag on his back, his face was a picture of shock.

"Mike, just got your email, Goldie is…."

"Yeah, I'm going to see to Freddy and the others, I'll tell you and everyone else when the official funeral will be, are you alright to go to the Sister tonight?"

"Mom is a little worried about the storm…."

"I understand but with the large metal plating on the building, plus it has enough food and drink there so in all honestly, you will be in the most safest place tonight"

-Line Break-

Fox grabbed Adam and pulled him behind him quickly, Freazar grabbing him and holding back as Balloria did the same with the Tonys. Baby tilted her head to the side and blinked her green eyes innocently.

"What wrong? Why are you acting as if you are afraid of me? And where is Mommy?"

"Um...I don't know who mommy is but can you tell us why you were outside?" Adam asked looking over the young girl animatronic. She was a bit more bulkier than Toni's lean frame but she had the same rose red cheeks as the others. Yet from what he had seen of the blueprints for her, she was meant to have red hair...not brown.

"I came from our old creator's home where Daddy fixed me. He told me all about the wicked Freddy Fazbear and his friends that are keeping Mommy hostage! So I came up with a plan to surprise Daddy and save Mommy!" Baby said eagerly. She was hoping to find her friends and ask for their help. She hadn't expected to find them so soon but why was Foxy growling at her? And Balloria….her optics were full of hate. What was going on?

"You...you shouldn't speak that way about Mr Freddy Baby. He is really nice and has made us his family" said Freazar softly.

"And WE ain't no friends of yours Baby!" snapped Fox "As soon as the storm is over you can go and kiss the sidewalk!"

"Wait! Guys! This doesn't make any sense!" said Adam as he tugged himself away from Freazar "If she isn't the "bad" Baby that was locked up with you then that makes her the first one. Baby, what is the last thing you remember before you were deactivated?"

"I remember it was our opening party. We all had our own rooms where the children could run in and out of. I was covered in glitter and smelled of birthday cake. I always counted the children...I don't know why...but it seemed important...when suddenly there was only this little girl. Something happened...I wasn't myself...My ice cream function seemed to take over and then suddenly there was screaming. After that the children and adults rushed in and I was turned off. I woke up when Daddy fixed me"

"Right." Adam tugged on Fox's elbow and jerked his head to Balloria and the Tonys, signalling for them to come closer. "Her last memory sound right for the first one doesn't it?"

"Sound right to me" said Fox "But it's this whole "daddy" thing that's got my tail in a knot"

"Plus we don't know if she has been reprogrammed not to attack children or staff" said Balloria "I for once am in agreement with Fox. Throw her out!"

"We can not do that. If she is as dangerous as you say it is with in our duty to keep her away from the public until Dr Mike is able to look at her" said Tony firmly.

They all turned around when they heard Baby gasp and saw her smiling brightly as she walked up to Tony.

"That's my Mommy's name. Mike. Mike Schmidt. Have you seen him?"

"The good doctor is working at Freddy's this evening I believe" said Tony "Though I fail to understand how the doctor is your "Mommy" as your not a bunny a like Bonnie or Shadow"

Baby's optics glowed as she practically hissed at Tony, who was grabbed by Fox and yanked back for safety, Balloria poised to attack.

"He's the bad guy! He forced Mommy to marry him and forced him to build him a son" green oily tears started falling down her red rosy cheeks as she crumbled to the floor and wailed.

"This Baby is more off her rocker than the other one" Foxy looked at Adam "The Doctor is not going to like this kid"

"Yeah but no for the reasons your thinking" said Adam as he stepped towards Baby, Freazar tried to stop him but Adam held his hand up for him to stop, he knelt down and pulled out some tissue from his pocket and wiped her face "Baby, We understand you're upset about all this and probably really confused right? We can give Mike a call and when this storm is over he can tell you everything ok? Ok? Good. Now blow your nose"

Baby leaned in to Adam's hand holding the tissue and blow, Adam was surprised at how wet his hand suddenly got as he looked down at it and saw that it was black with...lumpy bits in it.

"Good girl" he grimaced "Tony? Do you...oh thanks" Tony was already by his side cleaning his hand. "Now Baby, I'm going to ask you some things ok? And then afterwards we're going to go out the back and get you cleaned up alright? You don't want to be dirty when you meet your Mommy"

Baby sniffed loudly, smiled at Adam as she leaned on his shoulder "Your nice. I like you"

"Wow...how did you know that would work kid?" Fox asked not sure whether to be alarmed or charmed by the scene.

"It's called being a big brother that had to babysit his much younger siblings alot" Adam sighed as he turned back to Baby "Baby, we know who your Mommy is, but you haven't told us a thing about your Daddy. Can you tell us about him?"

"He's really thin and has a white mask for a face. He's always smiling but his smile becomes sad when he talks about Mommy. He really misses him"

"I understand. Baby? Is your Daddy's name...Net?"

Baby smiled and nodded her head as she cuddled up closer to Adam. Adam was more aware of the jerky movements coming from the other animatronics, their processors whirring loudly as their optics went black. Freazar snapped back to normal first and looked like he was about to panic, followed by the twins who looked greatly concerned while Fox looked ready to rip things apart. There was a loud clang as Balloria fell to the ground.

"Balloria!" Everyone crowded around her and helped her up to her feet. Balloria small optics were as wide as they could go and it seemed for a moment that she was hyperventilating before she recovered.

"My apologies. That took a lot out of me"

"Are you ok Balloria? You seemed to have had a scare?" Adam asked, wondering if he needed to get the spare tool kit from Mike's office.

"I'm fine. It's just….I haven't seen "that" animatronic for a very long time. He once belonged to our creator you see and his name was Ennard"

"Wait, your saying the puppet belonged to Mr Afton too? He's like our big brother or something?" said Fox his voice box laced with sarcasm.

"Afton….Afton…" Adam muttered, there was something about that name that was ringing bells in Adam's head.

BANG! CLUCK! DONG!

Everyone's heads shot up and listened to the sounds of something big and heavy crawling through the air ducts. The group pulled together into a circle as they listened to it crawl just over their head and then slowly away.

"Any ideas?" Adam asked the group.

"It could be an animal of some sort" said Tony "Looking for shelter from the storm"

"Unless that animal is grossly overweight it ain't likely. Look, you can even see the dents its left, nah it's something or someone"

"So...it's an intruder?" said Toni her voice box wobbling with concern.

"Right since we don't know where it went, we'll split in to two teams and look for it" said Adam as he pulled out his phone and quickly started to type "Damn! No signal. I'll text Mike and the others and pray the moment I get any signal they'll get it. Hey, guys, can any of you get through to the emergency lines? They can at least get a call to Mike"

"We will try at once sir" said Tony as he nodded to his sister, both their optics going black again as a small anitiata popped out beside their left cat ear. "Sorry sir. We can not get though"

"It could be the storm but I'm betting it's the protective plating that's stopping the signal getting in or out" sighed Fox "I say you, me and the Bitch go one way, while the cat twins, hubby and Ballora go the other"

"You said a bad word! I'm going to..." Baby started but Fox quickly spun upon her, snarling as he showed his long white teeth behind his lipsticked muzzle.

"After all the trouble you and the other Baby have caused us, your out of your processor if you think I'm leaving you alone for one second with the kid, just for you to murder him and have us all shipped back into some warehouse, you got another thing coming! I'm not letting you out of my sight. I'm not! NOT! Letting you ruin this for us! Not again! I'd sooner scrap you myself than go through that again" Foxy seemed to be on the verge of panic, almost like an anxiety attack as he pushed Baby away hard so she toppled over. Adam had never seen Fox like this but as he turned to the others, he was shocked to see the worry on their faces too, a deep seeded fear from back in their days from Critter County. The twins were clutching each others servos to the point they looked like they were going to buckle. Freazar was on the verge of tears and was hugging his plushy as tightly as he could for comfort and Balloria, she seemed to be holding it together but he could see her shaking slightly.

"Everyday! Everyday we went out, got things thrown at us, got covered in crap, got yelled at, bashed about, called names, things and rubbish jammed into our joints and if we didn't behave we were shocked by those dam collars or threatened with the scrapyard. Were you have to stand in all elements and have the wildlife try and take you apart tiny piece by piece, while you watch your fellow animatronics getting turned into scrap! There your nothing but a worthless dime a penny machine. A number! There you got no rights,feels, or family. BUT HERE! Here is different. Here we're treated with respect! We're looked after. We're not forced to do anything we don't want to do. If we have ideas, we can talk about them and the Doc even lets us try them out. If we screw up, we're told its ok and simply asked not to do it again. We get hugged and loved here. We have our own personal space, hell, our own personal things! We're treated like we were real living beings and I will be damned and scrapped before I let you or anyone else ruin it for us!"

Baby looked at Fox and shivered. She didn't really have any memories of the others only the very small time together before the party and she had thought they had liked her but clearly she was wrong. Adam stepped in front of Baby and looked at Fox directly in the optics.

"Fox, I need you, ALL of you to listen to me. I don't know how or why this Baby is here but she is here and Doctor Mike will be the one to decide her fate but I promise you...I SWEAR to you….nothing she does or whatever is crawling around this place would ever get any of you sent to the scrapyard. As your security guard I'm the one in charge so I will be the one to get the blame. I would sooner have Mike fire me then allow him to do that. But right now, we need to found out what is crawling around this place and for that we need to work together and that includes Baby."

The group looked to one another before nodding in agreement. Adam helped Baby up and took her servo into his hand, not noticing the way Toni's fur bristled or the way Fox's optics narrowed.

"Right, Me, Fox and Baby will take that corridor towards the employees rooms and Mike's office while the rest of you look down the other were the party rooms are and don't forget to check the ball pit room too. You guys have night vision right? So you should be ok, I'm going to use my phone to help light the way for me, once the intruder is found, call out and the other team comes running. Got it?"

"Yes Adam" said the group of animatronics as they started to walk across the main floor to the party rooms.

"Ok, Fox, Baby, follow me"

"Don't think so kid" said Fox placing his servo on Adam's shoulder "Even with your phone, its still dark plus with your scrawny body if anything jumped out at us you won't be much help. I'll take point, just keep close behind me and her even closer"

Adam nodded and gave Baby a soft tug on her arm to follow them. They walked in silence for the most part except for the tiny little sobs that came from Baby. Adam could just make out Fox's silhouette as he tried to see if anyone was hiding in the dark corners. A slightly louder hiccup made him stop as Fox checked out the employee's locker room.

"Hey Baby, what's the matter?"

"No..No..No one likes me. Mommy isn't here. It's all wrong"

Adam sighed as he pulled out more tissue from his pocket to wipe her face. She reminded him of his little brother, had good intentions when he started but ended up making a huge mess of things because their minds couldn't quite figure things out. She had properly thought of getting her friends to help her rescue Mike and bring him back to Net so they could live happy ever after. Only for said friends to hate her guts and Mike not needing to be rescued.

"Hey think of it this way. You help us catch the intruder, you can make friends with them again and Doctor Mike will be very happy with you for helping"

"Really?"

"Really, feel better now?"

"Yes"

"Good. So let….."

CREAK! CREAK! The large metal vents went as something heavy crawled above their heads before it gave way and snapped. Adam barely had time to push Baby away as something large fell down with a scream on to the floor with a thud. Thick clouds of dust filled the air making it impossible to see.

"Adam! Baby! Are you alright?" Fox called as he tried to see though the dust. He heard a groan from the floor and saw the outline of Baby, face down in the broken mess, he quickly knelt down and helped her to her feet.

"Baby! Where is Adam?"

Baby's blue optics looked up at him puzzled "Foxy? Where are we? Where is Balloria? Where is Freddy?"

"Did your processor get damaged from all that stuff falling on you?" Fox huffed. "Now where is Adam?"

"I do not know"

Fox growled and was about about to start shaking the girl animatronic when he noticed her brown locks were no longer brown but fiery red, much like the dress she was wearing and she was covered in dust not mud.

"Fox? Are you ok?" Adam asked as he and Baby came in to view, Adam's phone shining like a torch.

"Foxy who is this?" The red haired Baby asked looking from Fox to Adam to the near copy of herself. "And why does she look like me?"

"Damn it! I really needed a cigarette to deal with this crap" Fox growled under his voice box. "This must make you the Baby that was causing all that trouble in Critter County"

To his surprise, Baby hung her head and looked miserable "Yes and I am ashamed of my actions, even though they were not all my fault, I still did and said such horrible things, I can only hope you and the others find it in your pumps to forgive me"

"Who is she? Why does she look like me?" squealed the other Baby angerily, stamping her foot.

"After the incident at your opening party, where you hurt the little girl, you were turned off and she was built to take your place"

"But I'm Baby! There can't be two of me!" The brown hair girl squealed "I'm the first! You need to go away!"

The red haired baby tilted her head "You may have been here first but it is clear you are not mature enough for the position"

Fox tilted an eyebrow at Adam but the young human simply shook his head. He didn't know what to make of it either. Adam turned his head when he heard his name being called as the other animatronics came running up the hall.

"Master Adam! Are you alright? Are you unharmed? What has happened! Oh No! The Floor! The Vent! The doctor is going to be furious! And we just had the floor professionally cleaned too" Tony wailed as he took in the mess.

"Don't worry Tony! It's in the employee area. It won't affect the kids" said Freazar helplessly as he petted the cat butler on the back.

"Ah yes. Good point Freazar, thank you, but we should still clean this up so our friends, the employees, will not harm themselves. Fox! Do you have the intruder? They will be helping us clean this up before we remove them"

"I will not leave. Daddy has fixed me. Has got rid of the bad and has left me good. She is the one that needs to leave" said Red haired Baby pointing at the brown haired one that was clinging to Adam.

"Bad Baby!" squealed Fraezar as he quickly hid behind Adam. "She is the really mean one"

"She is more than just mean Fraezar" said Balloria with a heated hiss to her voice "She's a murderer"

"I know myself and the other me have done terrible things but you must believe me. The creator gave me and her a subroutine that caused us to act like that. We were not in control of our actions"

"Your creator? YOU LAIR! Father would not do that" snapped Balloria as she went for the red Baby, her arms raised as if she was going to snap her neck.

"WOAH! Balloria stop! Calm down. She might be speaking the truth" said Adam as he reached out and wrapped both arms around the ballerina's waist. "Let's hear her out first!"

"Why? Why listen to her lies?" Balloria continued to struggle against Adam's hold, her arms outstretched, clawing to get at Red haired Baby who was pressing herself against Fox and the wall.

"I don't like it much either Balloria but the kid is right, if she can prove it, then all well and good but if she can't, she and her twin sister there are both getting thrown out and turned in to scrap" smiled Fox gripping Red Baby's arm. She glared up at him.

"I do not remember you being so unkind"

"Really, cause I don't remember you acting like anything else other than a bitch! So do you have anything to prove you ain't one?"

"If you were to allow me to return to the vents, I can see if I can open the door to Daddy's office again, all the evidence is there"

"It's bad enough with that Baby going on about having a "Mommy", without you saying Daddy, I'm guessing that is what your calling Doctor Mike?" Fox huffed as he pulled on Baby again. "What you say Adam? Let her in the office?"

Adam looked at the Baby still holding on to him, glaring hate at the other one and looked ready to throw a temper tantrum. "Yeah, let her but follow her too Fox, just to make sure…."

Fox's grinned with all his teeth showing as he shoved Baby towards the hole where the vent used to be. Adam let out a small sigh as the red haired Baby disappeared from view, because now he had to pacify this one as well as see to Balloria and Freazar as neither were looking quite right.

"Hey, you ok?, you've gone awfully quiet?"

"Don't like her! She's not Circus Baby! I am!" Baby said sulkily as she stamped her foot.

"That's right your Baby, but she is a Baby too and since your the older one you're meant to be setting a good example right? The bigger more marture Baby"

The girl animatronic smiled and giggled as she hugged Adam's arm tightly. He patted her head and walked slowly over to Freazar who looked lost in his memory bank.

"Freazar….? You ok?"

"She is bad. I am bad because I really don't like her and I'm meant to like everyone….but she…"

"Freazar, your not a bad bear for not liking her, she was really rotten too you from what you and Fox have told me. Even if it was a subroutine making her act that way, you don't have too like her now either, but maybe you could give her a chance but it is up to you"

Freazar nodded but Adam could see it was a little to much and too deep for the poor bear to really process on his small processor. He turned to Balloria and almost stepped back. She was radiating heat, shaking with the most intense look on her face.

"Balloria? Are you alright? Are you overheating?"

The ballerina went still, her eyes dark as she looked down at him. "I'm fine"

A sense of foreboding went though Adam that reminded him of his first few nights at Freddy's. All the hairs on the back of his neck went up as the many safety talks with Mike and Jeremy went through his head.

"Animatronics can be repaired for the most part Adam but you can not. So if you ever notice an animatronic acting weird or you feel unsafe, lock yourself and the other animatronics in their safety room and call for help. NEVER EVER! Go up on an animatronic alone. They can crush your bones easily with just their grip, let alone their teeth, it best to keep your distance unless you want to lose your frontal lobe" Mike explained.

"We have a certain order in this place when it comes to emergencies. Customers and staff come first, Animatronics second and lastly us security guards. If an animatronic has gone nuts, your job is to report it and then get yourself and the remaining animatronics to safety" said Jeremy "Oh and try and stay alive until reinforcements get there"

Adam pulled out his phone again, one bar, one tiny little bar for signal. He press message and quickly typed a message for Mike the simple code he had been instructed to use.

"SOS. Balloria"

He quickly slipped his phone back into his pocket and again prayed that it went though. He glanced at Balloria again but she was simply staring at the hole that Red hair baby and Fox went though. He then noticed the Tonys, they were huddled together, whispering and looking concerned.

"Hey, you too, everything ok? What are you whispering about?"

Toni looked up at her brother, her servo over her pump, before she looked at Adam "It's something things in our memories. Mostly things that we overheard happening in the park while we worked there"

"You must understand some of the things we heard maybe incorrect as its word of mouth from customers and human staff" said Tony his face plates making it seem like he was conflicted about talking.

"What are you talking…."

Mike's office door opened with a slam and Fox stood there looking very annoyed.

"Ya better get your arse in here Adam and make sense of this! Cause it ain't looking good!"

-Line Break-

Adam nodded as he gave Baby a small smile and slowly walked in to Mike office, the others following his led. Mike's office was was quite large but with seven animatronics it was quite cramped. It was dark, so Adam used his phone to light his way and looked around. To one side was Mike's computer desk along with three screens and two towers. In the middle of the room was the operation chair were Mike would have the animatronics sit/lay down so he could perform their maintenance and upgrades. On the other side of the room was a large cabinet filled with spare parts, tools, oils, paints and anything else Mike might need. Yet it was the far back wall that held the animatronics attention. It looked like something out of a spy or detective movie. Pictures and newspaper clippings filled the walls, all with various sticky labels and string all tying together in the center around to pictures, one of a man and the other of Critter County. In the very right corner was Fox's, Freazar's, Balloria's and Baby's blueprints with some very disturbing messages on them.

"I told you it was not my fault. The creator built us this way" said the Red head Baby pointing to the string that was connected to the blueprints to the photo of the man.

"Creator?" Adam asked as he looked at Fox, who nodded as he pointed with his thumb to the picture.

"Yep. He designed and oversaw us being built. Mr Afton. A real creep of a guy. Always made everyone and thing uncomfortable you know what I mean?"

"So who are these men in the picture beneath them?" asked Tony as he leaned in and looked at the sticky label "Conagher brothers. Extra brother or Cuz. Purple Guy"

"SHIT!" Adam dropped his phone in a panic and quickly scrambled to pick it up.

"Master Adam are you alright?" asked Toni as she tried to help him get his phone.

"What is wrong? This purple man has upset you?" asked Red hair Baby.

Once he had his phone back, he shone the light on the wall again, following each string and muttering serval curse words as he pieced together what Mike had worked out.

"Holy shit balls. Oh Fuck! This is bad! This so bad. Fuck!" he muttered as he tried to get his head round it all.

"Foxy, Adam is panicking, what should we do?" Freazar asked worriedly as he took Fox's servo.

"Kid, take a deep breath and tell us what the fuck this all is!" Fox snapped.

"Ok. Ok. I'll start here at Freddy's. A long time ago these two brothers work at Freddy's as the security guard and cleaner. While they worked their there was a group of bad kids that was always making trouble. One day, the cleaner disguised himself as Goldie and led the children in to the back rooms where he stuffed them into the spare bodies, thinking it would making them good but of course it killed them. He was nicknamed the purple guy because he always wore the colour. According to these clippings down here, a lot of kids have gone missing and found dead, around the areas were Afton and the Conagher brothers all lived. And these ones...there of accidents involving animatronics at Critter County….of them attacking kids. Do you guys know anything about this?"

The original Sister animatronics shook their heads but the Tonys nodded.

"As I was telling you sir, we overheard things from both customers and staff alike, of accidents happening all over the park. Why, there wasn't a week in the summer time that we didn't hear about some kind of accident involving an animatronic of some sort" explained Tony as he looked up at the clippings and then pointed to one. "I recall this one. In the fantasy section just next to our coffee shop. The child in question was told by staff not to touch the animatronics and yet he did and ended up with his fingers trapped and badly damaged in the animatronics mouth. The animatronic was immediately removed from the ride and sent to the scrapyard. He was only scrapped a day or two after my sister and I arrived there"

"I heard about this one" said Toni pointing to another clipping "They closed the whole of future world because of it for two whole day. One of the staff had to come and help out at the cafe and told us it was because of a group of teenagers pulling and climbing on one of the larger animatronics that then went wild. It took them forever to clean up the blood"

"It's the children's fault. They shouldn't have been climbing on the animatronics" the words came out in a panicked tone as if the person was on the verge of a panic attack, it was a very human voice and it came out of Balloria. The other animatronics gasped, the idea that it was a child's fault for being killed by animatronic was unthinkable to them, sure there was alway that naughty child that they would give a sneaky kick to maybe, but never kill or viciously harm.

"Even if the kids were at fault, the animatronics should have had a fail safety or the staff should have been more on guard" said Adam, quickly glancing at his phone screen, hoping Mike had sent a message but it was just his screen saver. "So….this Afton guy is related to the child killer and is working for Critter County making dangerous animatronics to harm bad kids. No wonder Mike hates that place!"

"Is that why Daddy is investigating it?" asked the Red haired Baby.

"Mommy is investigating it!" snapped the other Baby. The other baby clearly had had enough of her childish older counterpart and stomped up to her, her green eyes glowing.

"Daddy!" she snapped as she pulled one of Baby's brown pigtails.

"Mommy!" snapped the other giving the red head a firm push.

"DADDY!"

"MOMMY!"

"ENOUGH!" Snapped Adam as he slapped them both on their heads. Both Babies rubbed their heads and let out a little whine as their optics glistened over with oil. "You two want to behave like naughty little brats, I'll treat you like naughty little brats, Baby go and stand in the corner facing it and you Baby go and stand in the corridor facing the wall! And don't you two think about moving till I say!"

The two Babies gave each other a dirty look before shuffling their feet to where Adam had pointed.

"Well Done kid" Fox said approvingly "You may have balls after all"

"Very masterful sir" said Tony with a seductive purr to his voice that made Adam blush.

"Shut up. I know how to handle them because they remind me of my two younger sisters. Anyway, so this Afton guy, he designed you guys too right? Did he build you?"

"He only built Baby...well both of them, the rest of us were built by the team that was under him, why you ask?"

"By the looks of Baby's blueprints, she seems to have this really sharp piece of metal in her chest that has no notes or explanation. Freazar has a very large hollow middle and you Fox….seems you were meant to have really long nails and teeth"

"But why? Has the doc left one of his sticky notes?" Fox asked looking over his own blueprint, feeling the oil in his pipes starting to curn.

"Er...er...oh here it is" said Adam picking up the coloured note slowly going white as he read "It says that the builders must not have built you guys to Afton designs either under orders or because they knew what could happen. Freddy was for kidnapping and Foxy and Baby for…."

"Wait...wait….what you saying? Your saying I was built to hurt kids? Kill them?" Fox's voice box hiccuped and just saying it allowed made Adam feel dirty too.

"I'm a good bear not a bad bear" cried Freazar.

"You are a good bear! You guys were designed to be bad but you were built that way and you know doctor Mike went though your systems with a fine tooth comb, he wouldn't allow you guys out on the floor if he thought for a moment you guys were a danger. That's probably why he had Baby locked up in here. To fix her"

"He is right Fox" said Freazar softly "The Doctor is a really good man. If we were bad he would have fixed it. Like he did for your smoking habit"

Fox sagged as he relaxed and smiled at Freazar "Yeah...yeah your right sweetie. Though why keep this from us? If he's thinking of taking on Critter County I'm sure I've got enough in my memory banks to help him out"

"Ours too. Do you think the doctor really is going to take on Critter County? Is he going to rescue more animatronics?" Toni asked with excitement.

"Hey! Calm down. We don't know anything yet. Once Mike gets here, we can ask him, but for now, let's keep the Babies separate and out of…."

"Excuse me sir, but who is that clipping of, next to the picture of Balloria?" Tony asked pointing to the small clippings underneath the main picture of Afton. Adam got a little closer and read the small clipping.

"It is with regret that we announce the passing of Charlie Afton, daughter of Mr Afton the creator of many of Critter County animatronics as well as the passing of Mr Afton. After her disappearance at the opening party to the new Sister location, it was mostly believed that she went to live with other relatives after having a fight with her father, only for her body to be found in the scooping room in pieces. At the moment foul play is not expected as it is thought the young lady was having problems and was taking medication to help her. Mr Afton was most noticeably upset but insist that it was Baby that killed his daughter. Mr Afton had been given three months leave with pay to deal with his grief, only to be found a month later in the Sister location in the early hours of the morning, hanging from the ceiling.

"It is truly a great lost to us all here at Critter County and it is partly due to this sadness that we feel that we need to shut down the Sister for the time being. I'm sure our fans will understand and join us in a minutes silence for the late Mr Afton"

"That's wrong!" snapped Balloria ripping the paper from wall and screwed it up in her servo. "It didn't happen like that! I wasn't on drugs! I wasn't depressed! My father was a good man! He wouldn't….he just wouldn't…."

Balloria fell to her knees and started to sob loudly, as everyone stared at her in shock, none of them really sure what to do or say. Something ticked in the back of Adam's mind. Balloria knowing about that cartoon series, her knowing about a school picture, her unexplainable anger and hate towards Red Hair Baby.

"Your not Balloria are you?" said Adam as he knelt down beside her. "The reason you know that story to be lies. The reason you don't want to believe that Mr Afton is a bad man…"

Balloria sob even louder, her body rattling loudly as she shook as Freazar knelt down beside her and hugged her.

"Please don't cry Balloria. Please don't cry" he whispered softly as he stroked her hair.

"Kid, If she ain't Balloria then I'm Foxy the pirate king" Fox in a whispered in to Adam's ear but Adam waved him off and looked up at Tony.

"Can you go and get the Red Baby please? She has got some explaining to do"

Tony quickly ran to get the Red Baby while his sister sat down on Balloria's other side to comfort her. Red Baby came in with her head down and twisting her servo as Tony standing behind her. She looked at Balloria and cringed before looking up at Adam.

"Baby, Did Mike delete all of your memories of your time at the old Sister location?" Adam asked softly.

"He deleted some but not all"

"Do you have any memory of Charlie Afton? A young blonde lady that you…you know?"

Baby paused for a moment as she checked her memory bank before she answered. "I remember a blonde woman. She was alone after the party. I was fine for a moment but then I wasn't myself. For some reason my sensors recognized her as a child. They may have malfunctioned due to the shock collar I was wearing. Suddenly I was chasing her. She tried to run and hide but I knew all the hiding places. She then climbed into the vent that led to the scooping room. There is no way out of there from in the inside. So I went around and waited for her to appear. Once she was in the room, I pressed the large red button, she screamed but only for a moment and then she was still. Then I returned back to myself again"

There were a couple of sharp inhales from Tony and Fox, there eyes going black as they waited to attack but Adam held his hand up for them to stop.

"Ok but what did you do next Baby? Because you didn't just walk away did you?"

"No….I...I was ashamed...I didn't know what to do. I thought I could help. So I went inside. She was leaking…a lot. There was a lot of squishy stuff too that was hanging out of her. There was a large thing...I think it was her pump...so I picked it up. Bolleria had already been in the scooping room that day so I placed her pump in with hers and…."

"And? What the fuck did you do Baby?" Fox snapped, his body shaking, he hated the scooping room but the thought of what Baby did there made him even madder.

Baby twiched and her voice came out a bit more robotic than usual "All further data has been deleted. Anything relating to that incident, "The Joys of Creation" and Ennard have been erased by Dr Mike"

"Ennard? You mean Net? But how….wait did you say "Joys of Creation"?" Adam spluttered as a sense of panic started to set in. Mike had mentioned that before. When? When did he…? He looked down at the sobbing Balloria and the last piece of the puzzle clicked. He knelt down in front of her and swallowed a lump in his throat. Sure he had been told about the ghosts and saw the certificate from the vatican but it's another thing when your about to face it yourself.

"Ms...Ms Afton? Ms Charlie Afton?"

Balloria gave a deep sigh and looked up at Adam, oil covering most of her face, her purple optics turning blue and gave a small nod.

Freazar gasped while Fox growled and grabbed Red Baby and shook her hard.

"How could you do that! How could you be so...Evil! You need to be dismantled for what you've done!"

"That's not for you to decide Fox!" Adam snapped "Right now we need to get a hold of Mike and…."

Suddenly Balloria/Charlie was on her feet and with a mighty screech, she leapt towards the wall ripping everything she could get her servos on.

"No! Stop! Guys help!" shouted Adam as he lunged at her only to get slapped back hard that he tripped on his own feet and fell to the floor. Fox, Freazar took one arm while the Tonys took the other. Balloria struggled, hissed and cursed as she started to spin her legs around kicking all them in their knee joints causing them to fall to the floor, loosening their grip. Balloria struggled to get to her feet and her optics rested on Red Baby she let out a scream and attacked her, one servo pulling on her twin curl tails while the other tried to wrap itself around her neck. Red struggled to keep on her feet as she was using her own servos to push Ballora's face away as the mad animatronic seemed intent on harming her in anyway possible, even with her teeth.

"Fox, Freazar, Tony push Balloria out of the room just so we can all escape and when I give the signal, push her back in" Adam whispered to the group "Toni, you run with me and Baby"

"Yes Master" "On it kid!" "This is scary!"

Adam grabbed Baby's arm and pulled her from the corner "Punishment will have to wait to later ok? You have to follow me"

Baby whimpered as she clutched Adam's hand tightly. She had heard it all and though she did not understand it, she knew the other Baby had done something really bad and Daddy Net knew how she did, because he had more or less used it on her so she could be his and mommy's. Was it bad? Was she bad?

"Guys! Now!"

The three male animatronics began to push Balloria and Red Baby out of the office. Balloria didn't seem to notice as she was to preoccupied in wanting to rip Red Baby apart. Adam ran out pulling the girls in tow but stood by the door.

"Ok! Get her back in here! Fox, I need you to twist the handle!"

"Gotta!"

"Balloria! Please stop! I don't want to fight!" Freazar cried as he tried to pull her hand out of Red's hair.

"Balloria! This is most unlady like! I must ask you to cease and desist" Tony ordered as he twisted Balloria's servo out of Red Baby's hair and heavily dented it.

"LeT mE Go! sHe KiLlEd Me! mY DaD!" Balloria voice fluctuated between hers and Charlie's normal human voice.

"For crying out loud! We'll deal with this crap later!" snarled Fox as he grabbed a servo full of Balloria's hair and pulled with all his strength. Balloria screamed as she was flung backwards and dragged back into Mike's office before being dumped on the floor. Fox slammed the door shut and twisted the door handle just so it messed with the lock. The door rattled furiously and they could hear Balloria's howling screams.

"Ok, Everyone, to the living room. We'll be safe there if she gets out" said Adam as he started to pull Baby and Toni with him "Tony will you help Red Baby please?"

Tony placed red Baby arm over his shoulders and rushed to keep up with the others as Balloria's screams chased them down the dark halls. Adam run in to the animatronics living room and pulled Baby in to the large armchair.

"Are you ok?" he asked when he noticed she was shivering.

"Scared….confused...want mommy" said Baby softly as she pulled herself into a huddle.

Adam frowned, why was this Baby acting more like a small human child, while the Red one seemed a lot more mature. He looked at Toni, she looked a little disheveled but fine, he patted her on the shoulder.

"Toni, I need you to look after this Baby for me, keep her safe ok?"

"Yes Master" said Toni softly as she sat on the arm of the chair and placed her servo on Baby's head. Adam looked around as the others came running into the room. Freazar curled up on the sofa sobbing as Fox sat next to him, pulling the bear close as Tony laid Red Baby down on the other sofa.

"You two ok? Any injuries?"

"Just some strain on the old arm joints but no biggy. Sweetie Bear? You ok?"

"No...my pump and processor hurts and I got a nasty bump on my head" said Freazar as he rubbed his head. Adam felt his own heart twist at the sad sight of the usually bubble bear. He looked so confused and lost.

"Well I can't fix the knock to your head Freazar but don't worry. I messaged Doctor Mike and I'm sure he'll be here soon and he'll fix everything"

"He's right Sweetie pea, the doc will make everything better, you'll see" said Fox softly as he patted his mate's shoulder lamely. He really did suck at cheering people up. Freazar smiled and leaned against Fox who happily snuggled the bear closer. Adam gave them a lopsided smile before moving over to Toni and Red Baby. Baby laid still on the sofa, her hair was a mess and she was covered in dents and scraps.

"Baby can you run a diagnostic on yourself? See if anything internal is damaged?" Adam asked as he looked over her hair and tried to see if there was any wires hanging out.

"Diagnostic complete. Nothing is leaking or needs seeing too on the inside. I have only surface damage" she was quite for a moment before she spoke again "Do you believe me when I say I'm sorry for what I have done? Even if it was under the "subroutine" I still killed that poor woman"

"Saying your sorry and meaning it are two different things Baby and secondly I think trapping that poor woman's soul into Balloria is a lot more evil then simply killing her and then killing her dad, your creator too, that is…."

"I didn't…."

"Huh?"

"I admit to ending the life of Miss Afton but I never touched the creator, I never even saw him, he hardly ever leave his office. I'm sure the only other people I harmed were the repairmen….but most of that too was deleted but I am more then certain that I have harmed or killed anyone else"

Adam frowned "But...if you didn't kill Mr Afton...then who did?"

"In fairness Master Adam, the paper clipping said he was found hanging, he could have done it himself" said Tony, he folded his arms as he thought "Also, it didn't mention who found him or any mention of what happened next to the body. Surely they would have said there was going to be a funeral"

"But what the hell does that mean? Dammit! I'm not paid to solve conspiracy theories!" Adam grumbled as he ran his hand through his hair. There was a loud bang and screaming that made the hairs on Adam's arm stand on end. He looked around the room and then at the animatronics. It was his job to make sure they were safe. If Balloria got to them, she would tear them apart, along with him.

"Wait...would she? It's part of her programing not to hurt the staff right? But with Charlie haunting her, how much control does she have? I'll have to risk it" thought Adam as he looked up at the group and unhooked his keys. "Fox I want you to lock the door after I leave here ok? And don't open it until it's time to open the pizzaria or one of the other guys open it with their keys"

"Master Adam you can't…."

"Kid don't be stupid…."

"You'll be killed…."

"Look part of my job is to protect you guys and this place. I'm going to try and talk to her, see if I can't calm her down or something, or at least hold her back until Mike or the others get here" said Adam as he turned and walked out the door and quickly closed it behind him.

-Line Break-

He waited until he heard the door lock before he sighed. What the hell was he doing? He really needed to have his head checked because this wasn't worth ten dollars an hour. He pulled out his phone again and used it to light his way back towards the main area, mentally trying to convince himself that Balloria/Charlie would not attack him. He walked past the arcade games quietly, listening out for any sounds that might give him a clue to where Balloria was. There was a slight clatter, like pans falling to the floor, which meant she was most likely in the kitchen. Adam tread carefully towards the open door and peeked in. Balloria looked a mess, her hair was all over the place, she was badly scratched, dented and covered in dirt from where she must have crawled through the vents to get out. Then suddenly there was someone else there, standing exactly where Balloria was standing covered in a green mist. Her blonde hair floated creeply, her skin was gray and two large dark holes where her eyes were meant to be. She was in a dated party like dress that was covered in blood. When Balloria moved, she moved in syce, her ghostly had wrapping itself around the long hand blade. He could hear her muttered sobs repeating the words "Its lies! All lies" over and over again. He gasped aloud when she turned slightly and he saw the large bloody hole in her adermind. Her heard shot up and she looked over at the door but Adam was already running back towards the arcade.

"Fuck, fuck, fuck,fuck,fuck!" he panted as he quickly hid behind one of the larger games. Ok! He knew there was a ghost there, Mike even told him about the other ghosts, he knew a lot of ghost stories, but it was one thing to know about it and FUCKING SEEING IT! AND SHE HAD A FUCKING KNIFE! Why? Why did he think he could do this? Why was he such an idiot! Not that it mattered because he was soon about to become a dead idiot!

"LIKE A BAT OUT OFF HELLLLLLL! LIKE A BAT OUT OF HELLLLL!" Adam screamed as he ring tone started to ring out in the dark but he quickly answered it.

"Hello! Mike! Mike! Please be Mike…" he whispered frantically.

"It's me! Adam what is the situation there!"

"It's Balloria! Well no, she not Balloria, she is but she is also a person called Charlie Afton. The daughter of the guy that's all over the wall in your office…."

"How do you know about that?" Mike snapped angrily.

"Because Red hair Baby got out of there and I let the other Baby in because I thought she was just a person caught in the storm but none of that really matters because Balloria is seriously pissed and wants to kill Baby and she got a knife and I did tell you she was pised right and a ghost!"

There was some loud voices on the line in the background and even more loud noises coming from the otherside of the building.

"Adam, you ne...list….me. On...way...but...strom…..Get...self…..tronics….safe...if can't….hide…..Balloria can't see well in the dark. Make...le noise as….can...we.."

"Mike! Mike! Your breaking up" Adam panicked as the line went dead. He clicked his phone shut and banged his head against the arcade game. What was he going to do? He couldn't go back to the room, he had given them strict instructions about keeping the door locked, plus if Balloria still had her ability to mimic voices she could make herself sound like him and try to trick them into opening in. A loud crash of tables made Adam jump and peer around the corner of the machine, his heart thumping madly in his chest as he could make the outline of Balloria walking unsuccessfully across the room. Now and again she would walk into a table and then she would flip it over.

"Adam…." she said in a sing song voice "Come out to play. We're friends right little Adam?"

She was close to the arcade now but on the other side from where Adam was, the knife seemed to glow in her servo, as she turned her head left to right, searching him out. He remembered Mike's words that she couldn't see well in the dark but how was that meant to help him when he couldn't see well either.

"Adam….I can hear you breathing...come out and talk to me….we're friends"

Adam crawled to the otherside of the large machine "I don't think so Miss Afton. A friend of mine certainly wouldn't carry a knife with them"

Balloria instantly turned in his direction, he could see the smile on her face plates and he deeply wished he had a bat to smack her with. She took a few steps forward as Adam tried to quietly move around the arcade games away from her.

"I guess so, but then you work for that liar, Mike Schmidt. You can't be trusted"

"Like I can trust the daughter of a serial killer?"

This was clearly the wrong thing to say as Balloria slammed the knife down and picked up the "Whack-a-mole" and throw it at the wall. Adam curled up in a tight ball as a few fragments fell on top of him.

"My father was a good man! He would never….could ever….its all lies" she wailed her ghostly vision suddenly appearing again, lassing out knocking more things to the floor. Adam quickly slid under one of the pinball machines.

"That was a lot of evidence you destroyed. So many paper clippings, so many kids, plus the whole purple guy thing? And there is the blueprints? Did they look like they were your dad's work?"

Balloria paused as if she was looking back in her memory, most likely was, because she suddenly became unsure.

"Yes...they were my father's blueprints….his handwriting…." then she shook her head and glared out in to the dark "but anyone could have alerted them. Anyone could have added those things on"

"Yeah anyone could. At Critter County. Mike wouldn't do it! He improved you. Made sure you guys safe for kids"

"Critter County is a place that made everything wonderful for children of all ages. It gave my father a job where he could create all his wonderful toys to make kids happy. Reward them for being good!" Balloria was almost on top of him. He could see the knife, he could feel his heart in his throat, as he slowly crawled from underneath the pinball machine, there was pile of chairs and tables to hide behind.

"And what about bad kids? What happened to the bad kids? Were you ever a bad kid?"

Balloria/Charlie stopped, then she seemed to start to shake for a moment before she gained control of herself.

"Bad children should be punished! If their told not to touch they deserve all they get!"

"Yeah, I agree, I'm the oldest with three young siblings and the amount those three get away with is unreal, but you know what? No matter what they did, none of them deserve to lose a limb, eye or even their life because they were being naughty."

"You don't understand!"

"I do! Kids touch! Everyone knows this! They can't help it. It's a thing for them. They see something amazing and it's in arms reach, they will want to touch it and will pitch a fit if they don't. Mike gets that, that is why he made the rules about touching you guys, because he understands kids. Kids will be kids. They will push your limits and gods knows there are times you really want to smack them, but you don't, because two wrongs don't make a right" He peeked over the chairs and saw Balloria/Charlie looking around the room fanticly her small optics straining to see in the gloom. Hell he could barely see and he didn't dare use his phone in case Balloria sees it. He should have known better then to lean on the chairs, they were at a such a twisted angle, so when he went to move, the chairs did as well and crashed to the ground. Balloria turned quickly, Adam froze, trapped like a deer in headlights, her eyes turning from purple to black. Her mouth moved slowly into a smile as he stumbled back falling to the floor as she approached him with speed, the glow of the knife was a blur as she swung it. Adam hissed as the tip of the blade cut his back, ripping his shirt, as he struggled to get to his feet working. He tripped and skidded across the floor just as Balloria drived, missing him by mere inches as she slammed the blade in the floor. He was back on his feeting running as he leapt over the counter and quickly ducked beneath it. He shoved his fist into his mouth and tried to calm his breathing, as he heard more chairs and tables being thrown, the metal footsteps that he was use to hearing while she danced. Suddenly the blade appeared just mm from his face as Balloira thrusted the knife though the counter. She repeated the process all over the counter leaving deep holes in the fine wood. Adam didn't move, couldn't move, he was too scared, his legs were like jelly.

"I know you're there Adam" said Balloria/Charlie in her singsong voice "I heard your footsteps, you didn't run far, your close by...I can just hear you breathing"

Adam racked his brain. What could he do? He needed to distract her.

"You know Miss Afton, you didn't answer my question earlier, were you ever a bad kid?" Adam stage whispered and hoped it sounded far away but instead Balloria slid across the counter a little bit closer.

"Never! I was always a good girl. I was Daddy's good girl!" but there was something wrong with Balloria's voice box, it sounded like it was hiccuping. He was onto something.

"I don't believe you. I bet you did something really bad. Really really bad. And he punished you for it didn't he?"

It went quite, Adam licked his lips, his heart racing a mile a second when Balloria's servo smashed though the counter and gripped him by his hair and pulled him out screaming as the sharp wood cut him and his clothes. He was forced to look directly into her face, both of them, glaring at him with such intensive hated.

"I WAS A GOOD GIRL!" she snarled shaking him hard as he tried to free himself.

"Not anymore you're not!"

Balloria didn't have time to react as Fox slammed a fire extinguisher into her face. She instinctively let go of Adam who was grabbed by Tony and pulled out of the remains of the counter. Balloria roared as she went to pouce but Fox set the extinguisher on to her, keeping her at bay.

"Tony get the kid out of here!" snapped Fox as the extinguisher ran out and he throw the extinguisher at her, enjoying the sound of it hitting her metal body.

"NO! We can't leave Fox to her. She'll rip him to sheds" snapped Adam as he tried to wiggle out of Tony's hold.

"Master you are to badly hurt to be making discussions right now and my only concern is your safety" said Tony as he scooped Adam up like a princess and was about to run when the large metal sheets protecting the Sister snapped upwards, moonlight shines in through the windows, showing the storm was over. Fox had paused when he noticed the protective shields had gone up which was his mistake as Balloria took that moment to leap at him. She had him pinned to the ground as she held the blade just above at his head where his processor was. She smiled insanely as she bought the knife down but there was a sudden rush and a swish and she screamed as her servo was cut off and a blade was pressed against her neck.

"Ya won't be harming my cub while I'm around lass" sneered Foxy in his pirate grab, his sword reflecting Balloria's damaged face plates.

"Adam! Are you alright?" Mike asked as he hobbled over to him and Tony, with Jeremy, Bonnie and Freddy, the two animatronics rushed over with Foxy to restrain Balloria.

"Just a few cuts" said Adam, though he was sure it was more than that but at the moment adrenaline was pumping through his veins. "How did you get here? The Storm?"

"The storm had mostly passed though when I got your sos about Balloria but there was no signal to contract you. We were already in the car when I finally got through to you. Sadly I still can't get through to Nightmare yet, but I'm sure their fine" said Mike opening his medical bag and started to pull out bandages and such. "Jeremy will you see to our injured soldier here while I deal with our...other guest"

"Sure thing Mike" said Jeremy as he took the stuff from Mike and the young owner walked over to the group of animatronics. Bonnie and Freddy were standing either side of a frozen Balloria, having had her override switch on the back of her neck switched by Freddy, while Foxy made a slight fuss of Fox.

"Nothing looks to be broken. Ya did well lad"

"Didn't do much. Kid mostly did it all" Fox muttered feeling slightly embarrassed.

"Ya protected your home, ya guard and ya friends. It may not be much or mean anything too ya but I at least want to say I'm proud of yee" said Foxy softly as he patted Fox on top of his head. Fox felt a warmth pass through him and spread though his body straight from his pump. He knew oil was mere moments away from leaking from his optics and he quickly wiped them away. Maybe...just maybe being part of Foxy's family...wouldn't hurt...maybe.

"Thanks pops" he muttered quietly as he leaned against the older fox. It wasn't a hug but it was still nice to have the old fox servo rubbing his ears.

Bonnie pulled a chair out for Mike who sat down in fount of Balloria's frozen body. He was so angry at himself for not seeing it sooner. Angry that The Sister had been badly damaged but mostly because young Adam had gotten hurt! But now was not the time for anger. He pulled a large file from his bag and placed it on the table and then looked at Balloria.

"Miss Afton? I know you're in there and you don't need to use Balloria's voice box to speak" Silence "Adam tells me your upset with my findings on your father. It must be hard finding out the man you look up too is a vicious sociopath"

A green miasma glowed from Balloria's body as the ghostly shape of Charlie Afton appeared, her face twisted in disgust as she looked down at Mike, but Mike bowed his head politely.

"Miss Afton…"

"Why are you doing this! Why are you trying to ruin my father!"

"You know why Miss Afton. Although what I have got is a lot of coincidental evidence that could be thrown out of any court, there is one thing that would stop it...the fact that there are too many coincidences and they all surround your father and Critter County. Then of course there is what your father did to you…."

"My father is a good man…." she started but stopped when Mike opened the file and held up a picture of a small messy looking girl, who looked like she hadn't eaten or bathed in days.

"This picture was taken of you when a social carer came to check up on you. She found you in the cellar locked up with a scary looking animatronic"

Charlie shook, tears started to fall "He never touched me, he's a good man and he loves me"

"Your father probably forced you to say that, he must likely punish you if you got it wrong, lock you up with the bad scary animatronic?"

Charlie crumbled and floated to the floor on her knees, tears running down her see through face.

"He loves me. I was naughty and I had to be punished. That's right. That's why he put me there, to showed me what happened to bad children. They screamed and cried all the time."

Mike sat up straight in the chair, Jeremy and Adam came over as well their faces white as the animatronics looked alarmed.

"Charlie...Miss Afton are you saying that there is an animatronic in your father's basement that has the souls of the bad children he….dealt with?" Mike tried to keep his voice soft but inside he was panicking. One animatronic with knows how many souls inside of it? Dear merciful god just what the hell was Afton thinking? He hoped the monster was burning in hell right now!

"Daddy!"

"Mummy!"

Everyone turned around to see the two Babies, Toni and Feazar climbing over the broken tables and chairs. The two Baby's ran over to a now standing Mike and hugged him tightly.

"Mummy! This Baby is really mean! I don't like her!"

"Daddy! I know I'm the real one. Not like her!"

Mike blinked as he placed a hand on both Babies heads and looked over at Adam.

"Can you explain this please?" his voice sounded almost pleading.

Adam sighed and pointed to each Baby in turn "Brown hair Baby is the first orginal one that killed a little girl in the first sister place. She was taken back to Mr Afton place where Net is hiding and he fixed her and made her believe a made up story about you being held against your will here. She came to find you and I found her outside in the storm and bought her inside. Red hair Baby was in your office, I think when lighting struck the building she got power surge and booted on. She broke out of the office by climbing in to the vent which couldn't handle her weight and broke that almost crushing me. The rest you get from them because I'm beat!"

He sunk in to a chair and laid the rest of his body on the table. The sounds of snoring came quickly afterwards.

"Mummy big brother is sleeping on the job!"

"Daddy Big brother smacked us and sent us both to the corners"

Mike's mouth dropped as he looked down at the green eyed girls when he heard a deep growl coming over from where Balloria/Charlie was and saw Bonnie, his optics black and his claws sticking out from his servos.

"Oh Boy!"

Jeremy chuckled as he quickly took a picture of Mike with the Babies and sent it to Mark, Matt, Connie and Jack, titled "He's in trouble again".

-Line Break-

It took a couple of hours to get the full and whole story and Mike's headache was just getting worse by the minute. The Babies insisted they continue to call him "Mummy" and "Daddy" which of course really pissed off Bonnie who called them a few choice names, which made them and Feazar cry because he said such naughty words. Of course anyone upsetting Feazar, meant upsetting Fox which meant they also upset Foxy, who snapped at Bonnie for saying such words in front of the youngers and then it would go quite until one of the Baby's called him by name again and then it just repeated it self.

"Ok...I think I got the whole story now. First, I think an apology is in order, I should have told you or at least informed you of what I was working on in my office, concerning Critter County and Mr Afton, I can only imagine how upset you all must be with finding out"

"We get why ya didn't Doc" said Fox "Still it ain't nice to find out that your maker designed you for the opposite of what you thought you were built for"

"Yet still it certainly explains all the accidents that have happened at the park" said Tony "Your more then welcome to use mine and my sister memories to gather more evidence"

"Thank you but sadly I don't think it would do much good, most of the accident cases were dealt with out of court, which means we can't bring them up in front of a judge. No….no what we need is hard evidence. New evidence that cannot be disputed"

"What are you suggesting Mike? Cause there is one thing to shove the mystery of Mr Afton but it sounds like your staging a war on Critter County" said Jeremy, he waited for Mike to deny it but the grim look on his face said otherwise. "Holy shit fuck! YOU ARE! Your announcing WAR on the HAPPIEST PLACE ON EARTH!"

"If what Baby says is true, that she didn't kill Mr Afton, then we have to find out what happened to him. When my mother asked to look at his death certificate as well as his burial details, she hit not only a brick wall but a warning from Critter County lawyers that any further investigation into Mr Afton will be met with legal action. So this means one of two things, one, Afton is dead and their covering it up or two, Afton is alive and their covering up what he has done. Either way, we need to draw them out and stop all this harming and killing once and for all. Critter County has been Long Overdue for a fix and by god we're going to be the ones to fix it. Unfortunately we have other things and obligations to fulfill before we can make our first strike. The first being the funeral of our own Goldie, a major loss to us all, then we have the charity drive as well as Halloween. As for Net, Jeremy contact Matt and have him met you at Afton's last known address. Net may have already escaped but be on the look out for this….monster animatronic. If it truly does have the souls of all those children inside of it, I want it found, so we can lay them to rest as quickly as possible"

"Yes sir!" said Jeremey with a quick salute and a grin as he flipped his phone, already calling their guardian friend.

"What do you need me to do Mike?" Adam asked sitting up as straight as he could.

"Your not getting involved" Mike snapped. "You should have followed protocols and kept yourself and the animatronics safe, not put yourself in jeopardy by taking her on"

"I thought….I thought her programing would...I mean….sorry. I thought I was doing the right thing"

"Well, while Jeremy is away, myself and Mark will be recouching you in security and safety again. Then you will also be taking a first aid course as well so you can take on more day shifts as well as floor work"

Adam blinked before gasping "Wha? Me? On the shop floor but…?"

"Your taking engineering at college right? It would be weight off of me if I had more help with the animatronics when they need upgrading or dealing with simple fixes. Of Course your pay will also increase as well as the responsibility. What do you say Adam? You in for some hard work?"

"Hell yes! YES! I'm your guy! But can't I do something to help you guys out with the war or something? Please?" Adam asked eagerly, the idea of being part of a plan of taking down a major competitor was thrilling.

"Hmm, actually you can help, since your a lot younger than us, it would be considered too creepy for myself or the others to go on any of Critter County's message boards and such. Poke around, see what you can find and report it back. And for god sake be discreet. We don't need Critter County catching on to what we are doing."

"Won't let you down!" said Adam also saluting as he pulled out his phone to start looking up websites.

"Everyone I want you to help clean up and try and make this place presenterbly for the morning. I do doubt we'll get that many customers with the weather like it is but lets not entertain them in a pigsty"

The animatronics grumbled but went straight to work picking up chairs and tables. Mike sighed when he noticed Freddy standing by the window looking out at the dark storm skies.

"I'm so sorry about this Freddy. We were meant to be going over…"

"Goldie would have understood Mike. He liked young Adam and probably be more mad at you for not getting here sooner" said Freddy with a soft smile before frowning "Are you sure about this course of action Mike. This isn't a small rival pizzeria we're taking on"

"I know...but if Afton has really been there as long as the paperwork say he has and he's built more than half of their animatronics...then that place is a bloodbath waiting to happen"

"And with it being animatronics doing the killing, it would look very bad on us as well, I just don't understand why such a man has gotten away with it for so long?"

"Who knows…..but he not going to get away with it for much longer"

-Line Break-

Allen looked at the rundown building and tuted around his toothpick. The place was a dump and looked like it needed knocking down years ago. That being said, the two houses on either side were not in much better nick but from what he had heard his employer had paid a pretty penny for them just for him to bulldoze through them. It was none of his business really, he was here to destroy and clean up and that was all. He gave a loud whistle and watched his team get to work. Within the hour, the houses were knocked down, in the next few large amounts of the rubble was removed.

"Er, Boss, there is something weird about the middle house…." said one of his men as he came running over.

"What is it? Please don't tell me its drugs" Allen moaned, he hated dealing with the police, they could really put him behind schedule.

"No...it's these weird doll things...and their sounds like something is crying"

"What are you? A man or a pansy? Because I don't remember hiring any pansies! NOW GET BACK TO WORK!"

The men grumbled and tried to ignore the pieces of broken dolls and the faint sound of crying that seemed to come from the ground beneath their feet. When the whistle blow again, the sun was just setting and a large wooden fence had been erected around the construction site as the men quickly left to go home for the night. The moon was high and a coyote howled in the distance as the ground began to move. Sevral black tentcles shot up from the ground and soon Net pulled himself up until he stood in the moonlight. A little way off, more dirt moved and the large broken bunny came out and started out with its frighten optics.

"OuTsIdE! BeEn So LoNg!" serval voices wept as it knelt down and sniffed the ground happily.

Net growled, it would not do well for him to leave the creature here, if the workmen found it they would simply destroy it and the souls would be lost to purgatory, not that he cared but this had been done with that gift and that man had used it for this? It made his pump twist in disgust. By now Baby had either been destroyed or made her way to Mike. If she was with Mike, then it would only be so soon before someone came looking for him. A piece of paper flew in the wind and smacked him in the face. He was about to crumple it up when he saw what it was for and smiled. Yes, he had seen the items around the house and if his old master is anywhere it would be here, plus it was the best place to hide for now.

"Come. We need to leave and get to safety and I have the perfect place"

"WhErE?" the bunny looked up at the piece of paper "CrItTeR CoUnTy?"

-Line Break-

William Dahl hated this place and he hated this elevator just as much. It was meant to be state of the art and you were able to pick your choice of music on the way down but it only ever played bongo music because the keypad was jacked up, much like everything else was in the company. When he first joined the company, he had been put in charge of the animations and film department and thankfully had turned it around with their latest film a little merboy. Once he had shown he had the knack for business, his father, the son of the great Yen Sid Dahl on the family side of the business as well as their secrets. Had William known what he did now, he would have looked at the twenty page contract more carefully, hell, he would have had his lawyer there present reading the damn thing. Yet his Dad and Uncle seemed to be perfectly ok with the way things were right now. Money was coming in and there hadn't been any "accidents" for a while. Nothing to worry about right? William shook his head as the elevator doors opened. He walked down dark narrow halls until he reached a wide open floor with what looked like a small glass home that took up the most of it, with robotic guards and a few humans protroling around it. At a drawing desk in the glass house was a very small, mostly bald man with large thick glasses, happily drawing away with a wrinkly smile on his lips. William looked at the man and shivered, yes his father and uncle told him about him too, a mad genius, a wizard of mechanics but he came with a terrible price. But because he bought in the money, his little….hobby they ignored or even help cover up, just as long as the money kept rolling in.

"I've come for his latest drawings" Willam said to one of the human guards, who quickly provided him with the papers "Has he made any requests?"

"None at the moment sir"

"Keep me informed of anything he requests. Give him nothing until I've given the ok"

"Yes sir"

William turned and quickly returned to the lift, his heart beating heavily in his chest as he slammed his fist into the wall, he want to dump the drawings in the nearest bin, but if they ever got out, then Critter County would be closed forever and his family would go down for gods the list was far too long to count and what was worse...he was now apart of it, right up to his neck.

Mr Afton sat at his desk drawing a mechanical bunny he thought of naming Theodor. It such a small sweet little thing, no one would guess it could easily rip your eyeball from its socket. His pencil rolled from the desk and clattered on the glass floor. He tried to get it but cut himself on the edge of the desk. He retrieved his pencil and looked down at the gash in his skin. No blood but then he hadn't had blood in his body for a very long time as he peered at the metal bone glitter though his flesh. He placed his other hand over it and muttered a few words before removing his hand and the gash was fully healed. It was for the best, he couldn't let them know just yet, it really did surprise him that they hadn't found his father body, you would have thought the smell of rotting corpse would have alerted them. Then again, knowing his employer like he did, it wouldn't surprise him, if they had found the body and simply got rid of it, no questions asked or answered. He would have to break out soon, he had his pet to think about of course as well as the final stages of his plan.

The End.

YES! The final battle is set. Lines are being drawn. Animatronics old and new are lining up for battle as the humans huddle in the courtroom, dragging out secrets no one wants to know or remember. With this much law about, will Matt be safe or will he be asked to take the stand. And just what the hell is Afton's end game? You want to know more.

Ten reviews! No less! And you get the final part of the fix it series.
