Evan and Cassidy glance down as well.

"ooooh... maybe we should've pulled them up with us..."

-

Mike almost falls over as the building shakes.

"Whoa, hey, be careful!", Grape yells.

"Ugh, what's that freaking DJ doing!? It's gonna kill us all!", Gregory says.

"Just... hold on..."

Mike arrives at the third floor, entering the hallway... and seeing DJ Music Man's giant mug looking back at the three of them through the window.

"SH-"

DJ Music Man stops climbing and slams its hand through the window, grabbing onto Mike, and the two Gregories by default, as DJ Music Man picks them up too fast for them to get off while it's still safe to do so.

"C'mon, Rodney isn't even here anymore!", Gregory pleads with DJ Music Man as the giant pulls them out of the window.

This is bad. If Miraidon attacks, it might drop them.

Miraidon stops next to DJ Music Man and Baiken sits there, watching him. She drums the hilt of her sword with her fingers.

Ruined Pickle

Rumia's scythe slammed into the dragon, knocking numerous plates of bone armor off of him and knocking it over as Luin leapt off the back of the beast. She transformed her sword and shield into a mighty axe, prepared to take advantage of the creature's weakness. Unlike the monsters she was used to fighting, however, this one was not a gangly uncoordinated elderly bird who required four hours to get back to his feet. Instead, with a flap of his wings he was as good as new and the shocked Luin could only look on with horror as a magic green energy orb flew towards her, exploding on contact and shooting her backwards towards Rumia.

With great power…you know the rest.

DJ Music Man looks at Baiken and Miraidon for a moment, but then returns its attention to its catch. It seems to be briefly confused by there being two Gregories, but that doesn't change its objective.

It suddenly grabs the two Gregories with two of its other hands, using its last three to hold onto the building. It then begins to squeeze.

"I-it's gonna cr-", Gregory yelps in pain, unable to continue talking.

"Stop!", Miketrap exclaims, trying to grab an endoskeleton wire to use, but DJ Music Man starts crushing him too.

"Hnnng... h... help! J-just help!"

To Baiken, Grape is probably begging her to jump in and do something. In reality though, that's not who he's talking to...

Before Baiken has a chance to contemplate what to do, DJ Music Man's eyes suddenly begin to flicker purple as its body starts to shudder. It doesn't let go of them, but it does loosen its grip enough to prevent their ribs from being broken.

"Hm... I'm gonna need some time.", Glitchtrap muses. That stupid Bouncer Mode program's making it harder to hack than he thought.

VS Moebius V102 - Part 2

To answer your question, t456 seems a little upset.

"T-that's really upsetting. I'm not sure how to deal with this- hey, Nagato, how do you mourn someone's death when you don't know whether or not they're coming back?"

...

t456 blinks.

"That's not helping!"

Thankfully, at that moment, her hair and eyes and scythe turn from purple to cinnamon.

"I CAN'T THINK ABOUT THAT RIGHT NOW. HERE'S MY ANSWER TO THAT QUESTION BY THE WAY!"

-and t456 takes it upon himself to put her head on the line for the sake of the rather under-defended regular Black Eagles (the ones that are left, anyways).

They take the hit, absorbing enough of the giant rainbow laser beam to keep the group safe- at some considerable cost to their own structural integrity.

"OW! THE ANSWER IS PAIN? THAT'S NOT RIGHT!"

...and at that, flies to get back into action.

.

V102 flourishes her scythe intently as t456 flies her way- but rather than meet his scythe with her own, the serpent charges instead, swallowing t456 whole.

A brief scuffle commences, wheren t456 is badly hurt by a burst of rainbow energy from within the beast, but manages to get out by hitting the serpent twice with a statue of herself that deals % health damage, before cutting out with their scythe, cleaving the serpent's head right off.

In the meantime, V102 begins to notice the light behind her growing brighter, and turns to face it.

At that distraction, Other!Edelgard forces herself into the ground like a speeding bullet, hiding from prying eyes in preparation for a sneak attack.

V102, for her part, is almost mesmerized by the sight of the mini-stars. It does not, cannot, scorch her, not even to look at- but she nevertheless jumps blue cosmic fire to the head of her scythe in preparation to destroy that energy completely and utterly.

...Only to find her strike held back, by the explorers very literally holding her down, and Other!Byleth once again taking up the Sword of the Creator to stop her attack in its tracks.

There's a silent sort of focus in her eyes, mixed with something akin to fury. V102 prepares to break free of the stalemate she's in, but...

Well, the ground's begin to rise into the sky, now.

With a furious burst of energy, V102's smile shatters almost all the way around to the back of her head, more a gash leaking shadow than a mouth with which to speak, now. She glances at Other!Byleth, eyes flashing    ∞   , briefly overpowering the Fearless Sword to stun her with those same strange voices from before...

Then, she breaks her stalemate with a violent push, swatting Other!Byleth away with her scythe. It fails to hit her directly, but some remnant of its energy strikes Other!Byleth regardless, putting a cut into her thigh. It's not anything concerning, but it will probably scar, and it definitely hurts.

Next up, V102 shakes off the explorers, releasing a burst of energy that thankfully pretty much only deals knockback, though it is a lot of knockback.

And, in the same motion, V102 swats away Sarah's arm, obliterating it with a swift and powerful swing of her scythe.

...and she tries, to follow through, to stop Sarah from doing what she does next.

But it isn't enough. She's just a moment too slow, and not for a lack of trying. V102 briefly struggles against the necrolightning trying to pin her down. By itself, the force isn't enough, but as with many times this battle... enough is a relative term.

So, when Sarah switches focus, and starts trying to make V102 rise instead of fall, and V102 in turn resists both forces acting upon her with startling effectiveness, in spite of the redundancies- that is when Other!Edelgard decides it's time to strike.

She bursts through the ground, too slow to ever usually get the drop on a being like V102- but V102 is by no means in a usual situation. So, Other!Edelgard follows in Sarah's footsteps, and... punches V102, right in the jaw, sending her flying into the air at an astonishing speed.

The attractive force of gravity and electromagnetism take control from that point on, sending V102 on a flying tour of this miniature galaxy formed in the ruins of what once was southern skyrim. She resists, of course, with enough force to break free, on several occasions even, but is always interrupted, be that by Sarah or Sunstar or Other!Byleth or Other!Edelgard or otherwise.

The energy of each movement forms like a linking line between each star, until, in what would seem like an instant to an onlooker, it creates an enormous formation like that of a constellation.

A constellation that, just as soon as it is created, is blown apart, as the energy collected upon V102 all explodes at once, sending her rocketing into the devastated crater that was once a grassy, snowy landscape.

...and right towards Angel!Mythra.

   "Oh, that's bullshit,"    V102 calmly observes, probably in response to one of the things her opponents have said.

...Or, maybe, in advance of what happens next.

Well prepared for this eventuality, Angel!Mythra raises her arms. Time and space and several other things like them bend in response to her call. V102 rights herself before she reaches the ground, and prepares to run out of range to escape, but the damage she's taken... hits her at just the wrong time.

All at once, V102 flinches, the collective damage she took from all those collisions and strikes making themselves clear all at once, as the damage to her body spreads to its entirety, cracks forming across all the surface of her skin.

Chips of it begin to fall off, little pieces like shards of glass, maintaining their appearance for a moment before vanishing into light.

   "Aren't I destined to win?"   

"Well..."

Angel!Mythra closes her fist, and an object emerges from the spaces between.

"Why don't you hear it from them?"

She gestures over, at Sarah and Sunstar, at Other!Edelgard and Other!Byleth, at Bulublú and Super Love, at Eve and t456 and everyone else...

As the Reality Emancipator, stolen from the moment of its destruction, activates again, and pins V102 in place.

V102 looks over, at them all, pain in her eyes though this time she does not bother to scream.

   "But... they don't understand?"   

"Neither do you."

The black fog sets in strong, now. It does not blot out light, it does not carry any sinister will... but it is clear, now, that it is no natural occurrence.

It sets in everywhere- at every corner of the arena, from Skyrim to Hub Centralis, from Onyxis to Reprium. It is thin and misty, appearing and disappearing like clouds in a camera set to fast-forward.

From beneath V102's skin, a purple-blue fire has begun to emerge, burning the air around her.

   "CUT IT OUT!"   

Yatta!

   "EEENOUGH!"    Sunstar, utterly fed up with the constant distortions and modifications of reality, transforms his right hand back into a Buster and just fires a barrage of smaller solar orbs at V102.

Meanwhile, a passerby decides to resurrect Nagato. Who is this passerby?

Take a wild guess.


Baiken prepares to attack as soon as Grape calls out for help, but as she sees something happen, she pauses. Charlie also notices, heightening her already-present suspicions...

But in any case, Baiken then pats Miraidon on the back. She springs off of it and high into the sky, above the hotel roof, then comes hurtling down at DJ Music Man and delivers a tremendous wide slash right as she reaches it. If it drops the Gregorys, whether just as a reaction to damage or because it, I dunno, loses that arm, Miraidon will swoop down to catch them.

DJ Music Man is completely unable to react, and as such, while it actually ends up not losing the arms that get slashed, they are badly damaged. The Gregorys and Miketrap are dropped as a result, with the kids getting saved by Miraidon and Mike finding himself caught by the Puppet's strings. He still doesn't like him, but he had noticed Evan reacting in a panicked way for some odd reason, so he had decided to act.

But if given any reason to do so, he won't hesitate to drop Michael to his second death.

DJ Music Man, still sputtering a bit and unable to properly keep its balance anymore, now falls down and hits the street below. Thankfully there was nobody walking around to get crushed by that.

... well, save for a tiny little guy who had just dramatically emerged and was about to announce his name to the world yet again. Poor guy, am I right?

Baiken makes a Three-Point Landing on the ground, seeming completely unbothered by the fall.

Charlie uses her own strings to grab Miketrap and pull him back onto the roof, seemingly either not noticing or purposely ignoring the Puppet's reluctance to do the same. "That was close..."

After some more sputtering, DJ Music Man gets back up, eyes back to normal. It turns off the music and looks around strangely, as if confused by its surroundings.

It then looks at the damaged building, tilting its head.

"I think it stopped being violent!", Grape says, relieved.

I have no idea what you're trying to say Mister Blister so yeah I'm going to have to go with you're wrong.

All I'm really sure of is that t456's reaction is kind of funny, in a sad kind of way.

"..."

Oh, you're actually back? Indeed Nagato is, here over on the side. Somehow. I didn't know he could do that. She crosses her arms.

"Please don't mix your dialogue with narration."

I'm not sorry, but I'll stop. Why don't you... talk to her.

"..."

"V102. You and those you represent are a threat to all of us. We wouldn't be attacking like so if you hadn't given us cause."

On the level of the code, she reaches out, checking and probing around V102's existence. Trying to act as an additional active layer of redundancy for the Emancipator.

Vs. V102: A literal Infinity War

The shockwave sent the explorers away, very away from V102...

When they returned to the battlefield, the Emmancipator had returned, and it's keeping V102 on her place!

Keep away from this machine! You can't survive to be close of it!

Yeah! Please obey Maxi. Super Love and me got this.

The other explorers walk away from the Reality Emmancipator, while Bulublú and Super Love hold the magical microphone together, and they fire a multitude of purplish heart-shaped rings at V102, attempting to immobilize her even more.

Thanks, Juca!

So, his name is Juca... Why did you made him your bestie?

...Just look at him! He's literally me! [—...But more perverted—.]

And what about me?

...I never thought you'll end in this place too... But now we are here... He could be my best male friend, but you are my very first girl friend.

..."Girlfriend"!?

I mean, as a girl who is my friend, you know I'm already married!

I'LL NEVER BE YOUR GIRLFRIEND!

Meekah attempts a punch with both fists on Blippi's chest, but he counters by rising his legs and grab her. Meekah tries to counter grab, and the whole situation devolves into a cartoonish violence ball...

...

Juca ducks to avoid the scythe slash, and leaps backwards to dodge the sword.

That's a cool weapon!

As the Hunter points him again with the shotgun, he does a capoeira kick at it... But he wasn't counting on her parrying abilities!

...!!

The hit let him stunned (and with a foot hurt), open for an attack... But, aside of Melia's magic (?), another thing could save him: Blippi and Meekah's violence ball going towards her!

Pickle of Ruin

Rumia doesn't have time to catch her scythe so she lets it dissipate. She then tries to catch Luin instead but they wind up tumbling in a heap on the ground. But hey it's a softer landing than if Luin just plain hit the ground. Rumia groans as she pushes Luin off her, trying to get her bearings.


vs that guy from Ubers tier

Seeing Rayquaza slam down on the ground, the robot looks ready to dash but stops at Rei speaking up. The hatch on the top opens and out pops out none other than Nitori.

"He says you can hide behind that big metal worm." she explains to the others before popping back in.

Yes she can understand him.

She of course ignores this suggestion and instead charges at Rayquackers, using the dragon element charged claws of her robot to slash at the big fella while he's down.

GAPP

Maintenance Tunnels

Audio sensors immediately picking up Loinball's folly, the machine sprung into action and aimed its submachine gun into the vertibird, firing blindly. One bullet struck the leather seats and lit a small fire…A small fire that was now slowly but steadily crawling towards the leaking fuel line.

Gentlemen, I'd suggesting getting the fuck outta there. Outside of the vertibird was the trio of gun-toting killer bots, but your chances dealing with those are much more favorable than hanging out in a chopper mere moments away from complete and utter obliteration.

Roof => Conference Room

Bullets typically have a very strict "no-refund" policy, but sometimes you just gotta put that shit back in the cashier's hand, holding them at gunpoint while you take your money back from the register. Gojo in particular had an even more strict no no-refunds-policy policy, his returned bullets striking the drone and setting it ablaze as it crashed down a good thirty yards away. Bits of steel debris flew off of the wreck and whizzed by either man's head. When Gojo dropped down through the roof, he and Simmons found themselves in a corporate conference room. The once-Paladin gazed around it cautiously. The lights in the room were lit and there was a half-full cup of coffee on the table, steam still flowing from the surface of it, but there wasn’t even a single sign of anyone within.

"I don't like this…" Simmons grunted upon seeing a door slightly ajar. As he approached it and reached his hand out for the handle, the power armor’s steel gauntlets were sliced open and blood began to pour forth from his arm. The man fell back and shifted his injured arm close to his body with a scowl. Moving fast, he aimed his laser rifle with his unharmed appendage and fired at the door where the attack had come from, but all it managed to do was punch a few burning holes into the painted wood, failing to hit any sort of enemy.

Offices

"…Pasta..?" The old man grumbled, thoroughly perplexed by Williams response. "Thirty-one miles in the air? …Must be a hell of a pasta." He lifted his hand, ordering all the machines surrounding the young man to stand down. A clattering and whirring of metal echoes throughout the hallway as all of their weaponry lowers, no longer aimed at William.

"Listen, kid. I got an offer, one where you get out of this without owing us the fifteen thousand Gs that bot you just crushed costs." The old man stated, pointing to the heavy bot in the office that William had destroyed. "If you got the money to pay for it, you can turn around and jump out that window. I'm sure you got a way to get back to the ground, if you got a way to come up. If you're interested, though…" The man lowered his hand again, as the machines turned away and resumed the duties they had been performing before William's unexpected arrival. The old man too turned, looking back at William before walking forwards. "Then follow me."

Luin vs Green Magic Dragon, Luin vs Magic Green Dragon

Ruined Pinnacle

Luin huffed, trying as well to get to her feet. She opened her eyes and saw Vulkaros immediately above the duo, lifting his claw high into the air as droplets of blood fell from where Rumia's scythe had hit.

   "I free your people from tyrants and unfit kings and this is how you thank me?"    The words spilled from the dragon's scaly lips, as a green magic flame began to wreathe his arm.

"Wait, you what?" Luin was taken aback. Perhaps there could be a peaceful conclusion to this, she wondered to herself. Before she could follow that yarn, however, a fireball rocked the dragon's side and sent it stumbling away from the duo, the mystic fire disappearing from its claws as it snarled at Lutemis. "Wait, hold on!" Luin leapt to her feet and ran out in between the two, waving her arms. "Lutemis, stand down!"

Forlorn Arena

Luin looked up at the fallen Rayquaza, a grin crossing her face. Perfect, She thought.

The Huntress made a wild dash for the dragon, sliding her sword into the top of her shield as the two tools merged together, forming a massive ace that she now lifted above her shoulders and brought down for an overhead attack on the downed dragon, one that she'd follow up with two right-to-left slashes with a spin in between the two.

Talking Durg

   "Huh? But I'm not from here."    Rumia points out, missing the point. She goes to attack again but then Luin starts trying to play peacemaker.

   "Oh are we talking? Ok!"    she says cheerily, sitting down on the floor.


vs beepo

Well it didn't exactly reflect damage but it did reflect momentum, Bombshell ignobly being thrown back in the opposite direction. This does mean he flies past Beep man like one of those beetles who lost a struggle against other beetles but he's not exactly enjoying it. This does mean more collateral damage as he hits a support beam. Oops. It does mean he's stuck under rubble for the moment.

Ratbat meanwhile screeches as his own blast hits him, knocking him over one of the buildings the alley is stuck between. Ratbat limps back to the roof edge, glaring daggers before firing a sonic blast at Weiss.

It's about to be the Anything Goes tier

With Rayquaza out of it, it's completely vulnerable. It gets slashed at by Nitori (for super effective damage) and Luin, then combo-air-dash-slashed by Reyna, leaving it at seemingly low health.

But that doesn't mean it's over.

Deoxys is about to join the offensive, but then notices a change in Rayquaza's aura, as well as a sinister wind in the air. Alarmed, it instead takes Rei up on his offer and flies behind Steelix to be shielded.

Divine lightning suddenly strikes down from above upon Rayquaza. Not to damage it, but to forcefully empower it. Its aura spikes, now doubly affected by Beta Arceus' power, and it begins to glow brightly. It ascends back into the sky, where its aura parts the dark clouds, illuminating the starry night sky. Larvitar's Sandstorm will also be negated by the power of this weather-cancelling aura.

Once the brightness fades back to a normal level, they'll be able to see Rayquaza's transformation. Having become Mega Rayquaza, it roars at the skies before unleashing a boosted Draco Meteor down upon its enemies.

Regardless of how effective that ends up being, its aura briefly spikes again right after.

All negative stat changes have been removed!

The Hunter's attack is deflected and she grows irritated at Melia's overall interference. If she's ignored for too long, she might just negate their shots at this.

Buffing themselves up with the gift loaned to them by Monster, the Hunter combine it with their own supernatural abilities to teleport past the Big Ball of Violence after initially running at it, swinging her sword half a second before hand to teleport "swinging" it, meaning to cut her in half with a swing.

Hub Centralis

Melia is grateful to find Bombshell reflected away, but can't just stop here. She notices The Hunter running towards her, but does not expect said hunter to interrupt said running with a gosh-dang teleport. Something about that strikes Melia as instinctively a little unfair, teleporting in Xenobladeland is hard as shit, why does it seem like everyone here can do it?

Bad news is, Melia is kind of a glass cannon, and was not ready to deal with a teleport-slash like this. Good news is, it's not hard for Melia to use her staff to haphazardly push against it.

The end result is Melia taking a really horrendous-looking hit to the side that absolutely isn't clean. The attack also sends her skidding a bit, falling on her back.

At least she isn't, uh, dead?

Mildly disoriented, Melia is relatively open for further attacks. Her three electric elementals are still hovering above her, though, still granting her allies that sweet, sweet 45% increase.

Definitely not a great situation for her, though.

Charlie lets out a sigh of relief. Baiken sheathes her sword, and Bedman? collapses into bed form for Delilah to lean back on.

Baiken jumps back up to the roof. "Everyone okay?"


"Come on now..."

Reyna's Frenzy Virus is getting worse, forcing her to stop and chug a Mega Potion (which, unlike the Max Potion, is a drink) to heal from its damage over time. However, as she's putting away her empty container, the Draco Meteors come in.

"Come ON now!"

Too far away from Rei's Steelix, she gets blown into a mound of rubble and falls on her face. She opts to stay down there for cover as she holds her Insect Glaive like a sniper rifle and shoots a pellet at Mega Rayquaza to send her Kinsect after it with powder-producing bites.

"I'm fine, I don't think I'm too hurt.", Gregory says.

"I'm good too."

"It's a good thing that thing malfunctioned when it did, or this could have turned out ugly.", Miketrap says. He nods at Baiken and Bedman?

"Thank you very much."

He then turns to the Puppet.

"And thank you too, Char-"

He pauses when he notices the actual Charlie standing right next to it.

"That one's our Marionette.", Cassidy says. The Puppet gives Mike a dangerous glare now, but simply releases him from his strings. The Puppet is still angry, but Mike tried to protect two children. That's good enough for a truce... for now.

Evan looks over the roof's edge, just in case DJ Music Man still tries to sneak up on them or something. Thankfully he sees it wandering off now.

"It's leaving, we're safe now.", he sighs in relief.

"Who's this?" Baiken asks.

The Puppet now looks at Charlie, remaining silent.

"This is our Charlie.", Cassidy says. "Thanks to her, we were given control over the bodies we were stuck in so that we could try to get revenge on the man that killed us."

"Which, uh... was our father.", Evan says to Baiken, Delilah and Bedman? while gesturing to himself and Mike so that they too are filled in. He then looks back at the Puppet.

"Why are you here anyway? I mean, I'm glad to see you again, but I thought you guys all passed on. ... which, wait, how did the others get stuck in that Ennard thing anyway? I'm the only one of us that stuck around, and Cassidy is only here because she came back for me."

"Yeah, it is kinda odd. Gabriel, Jeremy, Susie and Fritz all left, they said their goodbyes to us."

"None of us got the chance to pass on.", the Puppet speaks up. He sounds very similar to what Charlie sounds like as the Puppet, but his voice is a little bit rougher. Which probably makes sense if this Puppet is even more vengeful than Charlie was once.

"That man took the endoskeletons that were removed from the suits by Evan's brother, melted them down and bonded their souls to those circus robots."

Miketrap looks shocked.

"Wait, he was there? He knew where I was? Why didn't he..."

"I imagine he left you there to die in his place. The others thought you were him, so their guards would be down."

Michael goes quiet. Evan, meanwhile, looks strangely guilty.

I Miss Ladder Natdex AG

"なんてこった!?"

Transformations like that aren't exactly commonplace in PLA. This is probably only the third he's seen.

Also URGH. He may resist, but that Draco Meteor still leaves a mark. Nidhoggr is mclowonhealth, grumbling and growling as it collapses to the ground to rest. Rei grumbles too, churning around in his bag.

For items.

He offers Deoxys a Dire Hit while it's down here. CHR good, neh?


Sbooby Doopy

Senpai dramatically hits the enter key...! ... A pixelated energy shield pops up around Monika. ... Huh. Guess he's decent enough to at least not want a noncombatant to get hurt. Albeit a noncombatant he was sweet on, so he may not have done this if she were anyone else. IDK. I'm not a psychoanalyst. Anyways he gets back to work for something that might actually help his team

-

With a roar, light explodes from Tahjin's eyes and core! With Weiss having turned her attention to Ratbat (she managed to dodge the sonic boom) and being closer to him than Addison, well.

"AGH!"

He tears into her backside with a furious flurry of slashes the size of her whole body, comboing for a good second before blowing her into the wall of a building. When the dust clears, she's face down in the rubble - not obviously hurt thanks to her aura, but said aura is clearly basically spent having taken that.

... He turns his sights to Addison, eyes darkening from white-violet to a more... deep purple.

-

ok well Boyfriend whiffs when Bombshell knocked away and stunned for that round, and ends up tumbling into the asphalt, rolling to a stop a few feet ahead of his target. Ouchers.

"Ba-badep...?"

When he sees Melia prone, though, he goes livid. That's his friend!! Fuck!!!! In a literal flash of lightning he pops over, trying to guard her. His hands burst with the sparkling electrical energy she buffed him with. If the Hunter advances further, he'll try to fry her with twin lightning blasts.

-

oh hey someone said, no SHOUTED, the magic word GIRLFRIEND

"GHRK!"

Senpai suddenly stiffens, lurching in an unnatural up-and-backwards manner as a crimson blade suddenly punches through his sternum and lifts him a few inches. A furious Girlfriend appears to have appeared behind him, invoked like a fucking demon. ... Which she is.

"Y-you...!"

He coughs up some pixelated blood.

Charlie winces. "Yeah, that... makes sense."

"A man who puts souls in machines... Sounds too familiar for comfort. Guy like that in my world turned my country into a crater."

"That Man wasn't doing it for mad science reasons."

"How do you know what William Afton was doing?"

Delilah scratches her forehead. "Psychic powers."


Monika is surprised to be shielded instead of deleted, but she'll take it.

"Well then." Addison shoots a tool gun-esque laser at the bomb they left at Tahjin's feet, prompting it to explode immediately. They also spawn some health pickups, which Weiss can use but Tahjin can't - even though neither of them are video game characters, they are still functionally "ally" and "enemy" where Addison's items are concerned.

"One of our friends also disappeared. After everyone else was taken, he had come with me to assist me. It was around the time we first got here."

"Oh, wasn't that the kid in Balloon Boy? Erm... what was his name?"

"Doesn't matter right now. He was taken by the same people who took Springtrap, and I've been looking for him ever since. Until I saw you guys at the circus."

The Puppet turns around.

"I should probably get back to looking."

"Huh? You're leaving?", Cassidy asks.
