Elizabeth woke up. "What? Where?" Elizabeth looked at her surroundings, it was a mockup of her room.

She rolled over on what looked to be her bed. The walls were made of metal but all her furniture from her bedroom was there.

She then looked down at the foot of the bed and saw her legs. Her legs were long and shiny pale white with red boots on her feet.

She screamed and jumped out of bed. She was so much taller. Her whole body was white metal and she was wearing a red dress.

"What...? What is this?" She asked. Her voice sounded different.

She then walked to her dresser which had a mirror over it. She gasped! Staring back at her was Circus Baby. She moved her arm up and Baby did the same. She opened her mouth wide and Baby did the same. Elizabeth felt the sides of her head and found two orange pigtails. Elizabeth was Circus Baby.

"What is happening?!" Elizabeth screamed.

She looked in the mirror again. She was Baby now. The pale white body, orange hair, and green eyes. Green eyes? Baby had Sky Blue eyes! But Elizabeth had always had emerald green eyes.

Elizabeth began to cry but her eyes were made of metal so no tears came.

She sobbed for the next three hours as the reality of the situation sunk in. Once she had stopped she looked around the metal room again. A door. She walked towards the door and tried to open it, but it didn't budge. It was a large metal door. Elizabeth tried again harder and harder. The door began to make sounds of resistance, but that meant that something was happening. She pulled until a gap formed on the side, she grabbed around it and pulled until the gap was wide enough for her to get through.

She entered a large hallway and heard machines in the distance. She went towards the sound.

She found herself on just one level of a massive robot factory. She looked and saw written on the wall in the distance the words "Afton Robotics".

"Daddy has a factory?" She asked.

Just then she heard distorted laughter to her left. She looked and saw a large white and purple bear robot. To her right was a white and pink fox robot. And behind her from where she came was a ballerina robot.

"Um... Hi." Elizabeth said. "I'm Elizabeth and I'm lost. Can you help me get home?"

"You are home." The ballerina said.

"Time to get back to your room." The fox said.

"No, I want to go home!" Elizabeth cried out.

"Then it's time for a party!" Said the bear.

The fox jumped on Elizabeth and she grabbed its face pushing it off of her. The ballerina kicked her in the chest as the bear grabbed her from behind.

"Time for your controlled shock!" The bear laughed.

Just then Elizabeth was engulfed in pain as electricity went through every part of her new robot body.

She screamed in pain. "Daddy help me!" She cried.

Up in a lookout office, William Afton was watching this unfold. He heard his daughter scream, good. Serves her right after she ruined his newest and greatest creation.

The robots dragged a now limp Elizabeth back to her room. William would have to consult with his masters about this.

Metal sheets covered the windows in his office and all the lights turned off. William stood in the center of the room as seven screens came down in the circle around him. The screens turned on with silhouettes on them within the corner of each screen was the letter L with a number going from 1 through 7.

"William Afton, you require an audience with The Light?" L-1 asked.

"Yes my lord. I have bad news on project circus." William said.

"What went wrong?" L-4 asked.

"My daughter. She went into my workshop two nights ago and was killed by project circus." William answered.

L-1 spoke. "I'm sure I speak for the whole Light when I say we are sorry for your loss."

"She's not dead." William said.

"But you said she was killed by project circus." Said L-5.

"I have researched something I call remnant. A way for a soul to inhabit an inanimate object after death. I believe my daughter now inhabits the body of project circus." Said William.

"Then just rip her apart and start over." Said L-3.

"I can't. I would have to start over from scratch." William said.

"Why?" L-1 said in an annoyed tone.

"Remnant becomes part of something permanently. Even if just the smallest gear inside her was left she would come back once that gear was placed in another robot." William said.

"Well, I would very much like to see this girl in a robot." Said L-6.

"Yes. Perhaps this will work in our favor." L-1 said.

"I will be arriving at your factory within the week Mr. Afton." L-6 said.

"I am honored, sir." William said.

"And just as a precaution, and because he might have useful insight. I will be bringing The Lights Enforcer." Said L-6

L-7 answered. "I will meet you at a designated rendezvous point."

"Then it's settled. We will see if your daughter and this remnant will be of any use for us." Said L-1.

"Thank you, my lords." William said as the screens shut off.

Elizabeth sat in her room. The robots reinforced the door to keep her from escaping again. She was scared and alone. She had to find a way out.
