The Rogue goes flying off his feet, his mask splitting in two, and lands on his back. "ARGH!"

placeEntity "Karakuri Chaser" 4

Four stubby things resembling cartoonish samurai with only legs and no arms materialize out of thin air, and they all start moving crazy fast... in totally random and unpredictable directions. One of them is literally going away from Freddy!

"Get them, you idiots!"

They all gain some semblance of order, moving in the vague direction of Glamrock Freddy, but they take crazy patterns and wild routes that will most likely make them take forever to reach him rather than make them harder to escape.

"We are being chased."

"What? Can't we go any faster!?"

"No, but... they seem to be rather confused on their directions. I do not think they'll catch up to us."

"Still, the longer you're running, the sooner your battery will give out, and then they'll get me!"

"We shall just head to a recharge station. They should not be able to enter it."

"Wait, but what about me!? I can't go in there with you!"

"Yes, you can. My casing will protect you as long as you remain inside."

"I-it will? Wait, then why can't we hide out in there forever?"

"If what you said about that man is true, then I do not think he would let you. Let us hope we can stay long enough to rest, you likely need it."

Gregory doesn't answer for a bit.

"Gregory?"

"I-I'm fine. Just keep running!"

Glamrock Freddy takes a mental note (or would that be an artificial note?) to get back on that later. Right now, he's running through the halls to try to reach the nearest recharge station.

They only end up seeing a Karakuri Chaser... once, coming from the same direction the recharge station is in. If it touches Freddy, it will merely bonk him and deal a meager bit of structural damage, then immediately rush past him and keep going.

Glamrock Freddy shows a surprising amount of agility, lifting his leg to let the Karakuri Chaser run past him.

Then he pauses upon realizing moving like that isn't a good idea when he has Gregory inside of him.

"Gregory, are you alright?"

"Well, I bumped my head just now...", he groans, rubbing the top of his head.

"I am sorry."

"It's okay, just-just keep running!"

Glamrock Freddy continues to run. Now finding a recharge station, he quickly goes inside.

"We made it."

"Thank god.", Gregory says, sighing.

"You should rest now."

"I dunno how much I can rest in this position. I'm hunched over so my back's gonna kill me if I sleep like this. And then I can't run away from them."

"I will wake you during the day, you can stretch your legs then. You said that man was going to go after you at night, correct? Does that mean he will not harm you during the day?"

"Huh? I get why that'd sound logical to you, but I don't know if it works like that."

"I suppose we should see in a few hours then. Now rest, superstar. You will need to be rested by tomorrow night. And do not worry. As long as I am here, I will protect you. I promise."

"..."

Gregory glances down a bit as he remains silent for a good two minutes. Then he speaks up again.

"... okay... good night..."

"Good night, Gregory."

Gregory positions himself as comfortably as he possibly can, then tries to fall asleep.

"It is now 6 AM."

Well, that's a relief. They don't need to worry about being attacked... for now.

As Gregory falls into slumber, he catches a brief glimpse of dark forests with red-leafed trees, which is instantly replaced by a dream of an 8-bit game. In his dream, there is no controller, but he's still controlling a character: a tall, lanky, clown-masked thing that looks like an extremely warped animatronic, almost half as eerie as Sun and Moon.

His objective is to protect a child with a green security bracelet. But no such children come his way.

Gregory is a little too groggy to immediately realize the location he's in while in this dream. By the time he's become more aware, he's already in the 8-bit minigame world. He rubs his eyes for a moment.

"What the... was that whole Pizzaplex thing a dream? ... wait, no, this place looks weird, this has to be the dream. ... I think. Aargh, this is confusing!"

He says that last part while throwing his arms around in frustration, which makes the thing move.

Only now does Gregory actually notice the masked puppet thing and he immediately backs off.

"N-not more of these! I..."

When he raises his hands, the thing moves again. Gregory blinks, then seems to come to a realization.

"Wait a minute... this weird layout... and it's not moving unless I am... is this a game? Am I dreaming about a game?"

He raises another arm to make it briefly move again. He shows a smirk.

"Sweet! Okay, what do I have to do?"

He looks around for a bit, then eventually notices words above him.

Do not let your assigned child reach the exit.

Your color code is: GREEN

"Oh! Okay. Um... green child... green child..."

He looks around, only to find...

"... wait a second, none of them have any green on them! I only see blue and orange bracelets. Ugh, don't tell me I dreamt up a broken game?"

During his little rant he doesn't realize that his character is close to an incorrect child, and by the time he notices-

This was not your assigned child.

"Freaking-ugh, lame.", he groans.

After a moment, the game resets, with the same situation as before, only this time the bracelets that pass by are yellow and pink. Still no green.

"That's still the wrong color! Just like me to dream up a glitching game.", Gregory mutters. He then ponders.

"Hm... but the colors are different. Maybe if I restart enough times, I'll get one with the correct color."

He moves the thing towards a yellow-bracelet child, and-

This was not your assigned child.

"Okay, let's see if this changes anything..."

On the third go-around, Gregory's player character is immobilized by a crate placed over the box from which it would normally start the game by emerging. However, a child is visible outside the building.

And eventually, this child jumps, revealing they have a green security bracelet, but just as Gregory regains the ability to move his character, the child starts to fade away. There's no chance he can reach them in time... but maybe...

"What the sh-hey!", Gregory angrily says when he notices his 'player character' is stuck.

And then he notices the child outside.

"Oh c'mon, it's glitching right when I can win!"

Gregory moves over to the prize box and outright pushes the obstrucing box off of it, releasing the thing inside. It heads over to the door, and as Gregory looks, he sees that the child has disappeared.

"Don't tell me I missed my chance.", he says, motioning for the thing to go through the doors and then following it out into the rain.

"Virtual dream rain, great.", he grumbles... after which he notices that the thing is gone. He quickly looks around and sees it heading into an alleyway.

"Huh? Hey, wait!", Gregory says, moving his arms around, but the thing does not change its direction. Huffing, Gregory runs after it.

His annoyed look stops soon though, changed into a confused one when the thing's head tilts to the side, seemingly a little broken. Yet it continues to move.

"... hey, wait, the rain is probably..."

He tries to gesture for it to come back to him, but nothing he does works. It keeps moving.

It starts to lose more color. Still moving.

It starts to slow down. Still moving.

It outright falls on the ground, no longer about to float. But it's still moving.

At this point Gregory becomes more unnerved than anything. What could possibly possess this thing to destroy itself like this?

...

And then he finds out exactly what. He stops in his tracks when, between the garbage bags and garbage cans, the lifeless body of the small child with the green bracelet lies.

"... oh... oh god...", Gregory softly mutters, horrified.

The thing still moves towards it, pulling itself forward as if its life depends on it. Even if it can no longer help the child, it's still moving.

And when it finally reaches the child, it breaks down besides it. Embracing it in a somber hug, as if still trying to protect it. Gregory actually feels his eyes water a bit. He is speechless, and that almost never happens.

The last thing he takes notice of as the 'game' world around him starts to fade to black is something to the side of the two.

"Tire tracks..."

"I did not think this possible, but... he was correct." , Glamrock Freddy says, standing in front of the block that was once the doors.

"Then it is likely that everything else he has mentioned is also true. If that is the case, I must definitely protect him."

He feels a shift in his storage area and glances down.

"Oh no, did I wake him too early?"

He focuses on Gregory, but only hears him mumble softly in his sleep.

"... don't... wanna be here... but... home..."

Glamrock Freddy feels empathy for the little boy. To be trapped in a situation like this... it is certainly more harrowing than Gregory is letting himself show. He's trying to be strong, but...

"I will definitely protect you, Gregory." , Glamrock Freddy softly says before making his way back towards the recharge station.

As the scene in Gregory's vision fades out, a voice fades in. A little girl's voice, which sounds hesitant, wary and uncertain.

All a - round the mulberry bush, the monkey chased the wea - sel...

The voice grows quieter, and hoarse.

The monkey... Beat thought... Beat it was all... in good fun...

There's a long, long silence accompanied by an eerie Drone of Dread. When the voice comes back, it sounds choked. Every word feels like a gasp for breath through tears. It doesn't even sound like she's singing, more like she's reciting a Survival Mantra.

P-p-p-pop... goes... the wea... Beat sellllllll...

And the rest is silence.

"Nato a Barazra"

Arnoldo mixed the flour, yeast, milk and some butter to make a dough, with which he made his buns, sprinkled with some sesame seeds. To the oven they go.

Meanwhile, he grounds the meats, and mixes them. Then, he dices the carrots, bell peppers, onion, and some parsley, and adds it with the meat, adding some salt, pepper, Chianti, and the grounded corn flakes. With that mix, he shapes some patties, which he fries with the butter. Just before adding a new patty, he flambées his trusty frying pan with some wine, letting go a manical laugh, noy quite an Evil Laugh.

From the live audience, the voice of Francis, his loyal helper, can be heard:

Hey, don't you think it's a bit too much for a burger?

Arnoldo gives him a Death Glare, and answers:

Who's the chef there? You leave me cook as I want, and we'll soon return to home on our new monorrail. Capisci?

...Yeah. Go, Arnoldo!

After the patties are already fried, he washes and slices the tomatoes, onions and the cheese, and he picks the lettuce leaves, washing them with water and iodine.

Sniff, sniff... I smell something burnt... AAAH!

He takes off the oven the buns... Altough still edibles, they are a bit crispy and with burnt flavor. Arnoldo shrugs his shoulders, and proceeds to slice open them at the half.

He assemble four burgers, each one for each judge. Each have: bun, patty, mozzarella, onion, tomato, and a lettuce leaf, and each burger is at the center of a lettuce leaves "crown", looking somewhat like flowers.

Sanji begins by grilling the fish, and he begins to work on dicing his ingredients. His idea is to respect Ramsay's request of going crazy: anybody else would make a regular Hamburger, which is fair because it's tasty enough, but it's the kind of show where you go balls to the wall and he wants to respect that.

So the "bun" of the burger isn't bread: it's fish, which he carefully cut up until it can fulfill the role of the bun. He did know, and listened, to what Law had to say about not liking bread, and while he doesn't prioritize Law over the other judges since he's a dour jerk, he's confident that his cooking skills could help him convince the other judges, and the uniqueness of it will prevent Law from giving it a bad note from the get-go.

The burger is arranged fairly conventionally, but without any steak. It's a fish-burger, though the salad and the condiments are here to give the meal a familiar feeling if the fish proves off-putting. He quite carefully make sure that nothing could go wrong with the bones before putting in what he needs, wrapping the grilled fish in the middle with a helping dose of salad, sauce and other condiments.

Bon appétit. He puts the fish-burger along with the others.

Man, I wish I could be a judge! Those burgers are making me hungry.

You're too kind on 'em.

Gregory shoots up, waking up in a cold sweat. Taking some deep breaths, he rubs his eyes a little as his vision clears. Glamrock Freddy is looking over him, looking concerned.

"Gregory? Are you alright?"

"I... had a... nightmare, I think.", he mutters. "It started out kinda okay, but at the end it was chilling."

"Do you wish to talk about it?"

"... no...", he says as he sits up. It's only then that he seems to realize that he's not inside of Freddy's stomach hatch anymore, instead lying on a bench.

"Wait, why am I outside of you?"

"I took what you said about your back into account. After you fell asleep, I scoured the surrounding area, and I have not yet seen anything hostile. So I put you down on a bench to let you get proper rest while I stayed here and guarded you. I am sorry I could not find a bed instead, but the Pizzaplex is not built for overnight stay. The only couches are in areas with S.T.A.F.F.bots, and I was not certain if they would sound the alarm if they saw you."

"It's okay, a bench is fine. ... Wait, what does that mean for your battery?"

"I use little to no energy at all if I sit still, even if I do not go offline. You need not worry, I will not run out anytime soon."

"That's good. ... uh... what time is it?"

"It is currently 5 PM. You slept for about 11 hours."

"11 hours!? I-I never sleep that long!"

"You were likely more tired than you realized. It was a rather hectic day yesterday. How do you feel?"

"I... I feel alright."

Cue Gregory's stomach rumbling. After a slight pause, Gregory quickly looks away as if embarrassed. Glamrock Freddy lets out a gentle laugh and gets up from the bench.

"Come, superstar. Let us get you something to eat."

"As much as I like pizza, I dunno about eating it right after waking up."

"The Pizzaplex has more food than just pizza." , Freddy laughs again, now offering Gregory his hand. Gregory looks uncertain, and while he does get off the bench, he doesn't take Freddy's hand yet.

"Alright then, I'll follow you."

Freddy isn't hurt by Gregory not taking his hand. He had already come to realize that Gregory is likely slow to open up to others. He's already more than happy that the boy seems to trust him with his wellbeing.

The two of them begin to walk. Gregory rubs one of his arms as he follows while seeming slightly bothered, unable to get that last bit of his dream out of his head. Even if it all looked like a game, at the end it felt so real.

And that voice... it reminds him way too much of the kind of stuff he'd seen before in the past... but somehow even worse.


Astil

A green streak speeds by everything, running around too fast for the naked eye.

That is, until it passes by a certain cave entrance. Seemingly interested, the blur doubles back and stops in front of the entrance.

"... hm... well, well... I dunno what it is, but this place looks interestin'.", the green hedgehog says as he picks his teeth with one of his fingers. He then lifts up his sunglasses before giving a metaphorical camera a cocky grin.

"Let's go check it out."

He runs into the cave.

Nicole may catch the sounds of some nearby chatter. If she looks at the bar's entrance, she may notice Omori, Kel, Aubrey and Hero walking by, with Kel naturally chatting up a storm to Omori.

Naturally, they seem too distracted to immediately notice Nicole, so they walk past the entrance. But judging by the fact that their voices don't die out, it seems they stopped very close to the bar. Another voice joins them after that, which is likely Mari.

Once the burgers are done, it's time for the serving, and judgement.

First up is Arnoldo's. Gordon inspects the burger. "You're, ah, quite excessive. And the bun is burnt."

He takes a bite. "It's... crunchy, though I guess that's to be expected. Taste is good, but not superb... but that mouthfeel! It's divine, so satisfying to just crunch! I'd dare say the burning worked to your favor."


"I know!" Zero says post-high-five, rubbing the back of his head. "It's like, the least original sci-fi name in the multiverse. But my parents named me that, legit."


Rodney is already in the general dining area, eating a hot dog. He looks up when Gregory and Freddy enter, only to immediately turn his attention back to the hot dog.

"Mmmh... god the pizza sucks..."

When they walk into the dining area, Gregory immediately notices Rodney. Looking pissed, he suddenly splits from Freddy and angrily approaches Rodney.

"The fact that you're just sitting here eating when you tried to kill me really makes me angry! What the hell's your problem, man!? What'd I do to deserve this? Tell me!"

"Gregory, wait!" , Glamrock Freddy says as he quickly goes to him, alarmed that Gregory would just up and confront Rodney like that. But Gregory ignores Freddy, because he's lost all of his patience due to the last night and he's going off.

"You better freaking answer me this time, you jerk, or... or I'll slam one of these cheaply made chairs against you!"

"... cheaply made chairs?" , Freddy asks, almost looking personally hurt by the insinuation that Fazbear Entertainment's chairs are cheaply made.


"Wha-"

Cue Scourge being clotheslined and hurled back to the entrance, where he ends up landing upside down, his jacket drooping down a little. He quickly hops back up on his feet though.

"Alright, which asshole thinks they're being a funny g-"

He then sees that it's Sonic and grins, readjusting his sunglasses.

"Well I'll be. The Blue Stinker. What's gotten you worked up in my business this time?"

He pauses, then looks amused.

"Wait, do you live here or something? Is that it?", he laughs mockingly.


The rustling becomes more prominent near Malefictent.

"Oooh... now she just SCREAMS evil... yes, yes, that'll do, hmhm~", the sneaking creature thinks to himself.

The creature moves around a little more before jumping out of the bushes, landing in front of Maleficent. It turns out to be a brown ferret.

"Why hello there, madame, hmhmhm~", he says, his voice... strangely sensual, yet not in a flirtatious manner.

Thank god, because that would be weird.


The group turns to look back when they hear Nicole's voice.

"Miss Nicole!" "Hey! Hey! Hey!"

Kel and Aubrey speak at the same time as they immediately, and enthusiastically, approach her, jumping around in their usual energetic way.

"Guys, calm down, give her some space.", Hero says while laughing a little, trying to calm them down a bit. Omori, seemingly his usual shy self, stays behind, though that could also be because of Mari, as her picnic blanket has been strewn out on the sand right next to the cafe. He does, however, greet Nicole with a little wave just like last time, while Mari giggles a little and holds his hand before turning to Nicole.

"It's good to see you again, miss Nicole. Are you doing well?"

Rodney tents his fingers together like a typical supervillain, spinning around in a swiveling office chair he apparently brought into the dining hall. "Simply put, your negative emotions are a source of dark power. So making you suffer makes me... and my... let's call them employers... very happy. Also, I'm bored and I enjoy torturing people."

He raises an eyebrow. "I said I'd let you go if you could survive until I got tired of messing with you, and that's a rule I'm not inclined to break, because there's no need to kill you."


"No, but I can't let you hurt the people who do. They'd be helpless against you!" Sonic gets down in preparation to either run or spin dash.


Maleficent takes one look at the ferret and her face scrunches up in comical repulsion.    "Ugh. What do you want?"
