The group make their way towards the lobby, checking every corner and turn. As they begin to round another corner, Freddy stops. Everyone turns around, hearing the noise of a hatch opening. Mako calmly hops out, and turns around to look at the robot.

"Freddy, are you ok?" Yukari asks.

"It is nothing. I'm am low on battery, and must get to charging station. If not I will become more, not like me." Freddy says, and turns away, leaving the Ankou team to their thoughts and wits.

"I didn't even get to rest that long." Mako complains, but the group keep walking. Yukari rounds a corner, and standing there, perfectly still, is what seems to be a a home made, bunny costume with plastic red eyes. It was a scary sight, and it didn't help calm down their nerves as they see a kitchen knife in bunnies hand. It glinted in the sunlight, and the bunny began to run at them. The bunny also had a small remote in her hand, and pressed a button.

"Runnnn!" Yukari screamed and they bolted off back into the lobby. The bunny ran and slowly closed the distance between her and Yukari. The bunny reached out, but Yukari dodged it, but didn't see the security bot in front of her, and she hit it.

Yukari turns around and screams as the bunny grabs her by the neck.

Mako, Saori, Hana and Miho dart across the darkmall floor. The only thing the group of four can think is that Yukari had been grabbed by this monstrosity of a bunny costume. As they run, they hear a bloodcurdling scream, and then a thump, and see Yukari's body crumble to the ground.

As Saori turns around to see if anything was following them, the sadistic looking bunny rounds the corner. Saori shrieks, and proceeds to run even faster

"Why is this sadistic fucking bunny chasing us?!?" Saori cries out to her friends as they run.

The map bot rolls in front of them, but Hana hurls herself into it, and knocks the bot over. The bot goes into a spasm as the security bots flash their flashlights into the area of the noise

Miho gives a small squeak as the blinding lights hit her face. The bot's face goes red as they start to chase them. Mako turns around and kick flips the robot, and it clatters to the ground.

Mako turns around and begins running. The creepy rabbit emerges from behind a pillar and throws the kitchen knife. It hurls past Hanas face, barely missing and cuts off half of her Ahoge. Hana looks over and sticks up the middle finger.


"I grew that out for a years!" She yells at the rabbit as she hurls past another security robot that tries to grab her, her emotions beginning to get the better of her, but continues to keep running forward, ignoring her emotions telling her to slug that disgusting creature.

Miho runs through the sea of fences and up the stairs as he comrades follow her up. Saori bashes open a party door, and once everyone inside she closes it and Hana blocks it with the table.

"What was that thing? Why are there angry animatronics, except for that weird robot Freddy thing." Saori asks but nobody responds.

Hana sits there in silence with Mako as Miho begins thinking about their next move. Miho looks at the fazbear watch she got from Freddy, than gasps as she looks at the window.

Suddenly the room goes dark as a mysterious figure blocks their window. Then it smashes. The Bunny hoops through and dives for Saori. The bunny throws a slice, and cuts Saori cheek. She cries out in pain, and Miho coming to her rescue, grabbing the bunny by her face, and hitting her knee against the face. The bunny doesn't cry out in pain, but falls backward.

Hana runs towards the door, and shoves it open, and they dash off again. Two more security bots come rolling in out of nowhere, but Hana bodies both of them.

"For robots, these things are very fragile." She says, and they continue running. The bunny walks out of the party room, in a bit of a daze. The group burst through the lobby again, and straight into the massive locker room.

"We should- we should be safe here." Miho manages to say taking deep breaths. Saori nods and the group sit on a bench. So far the night hadn't been a help to them, but had actually been a hurt to them.

"If only we could be back in the tank." Saori says and looks around the dark room. She pulls out her phone, turns on the flashlight, and it beams down the hallway. On the other side to their horror, is Glamrock Chica, her head in the garbage bin, eating the garbage.

She stifles a shriek, and slowly turns of her flashlight, but its too late. The robot senses the light, and the head turns around, without moving its body.

Miho gives a quiet squeak, and bolts out the door, her friends in suit.

"Children!" The robot screams and begins waddle run forward. Miho sees a laundry basket, and she points to it, and she jumps in. Her friends follow her and jump in. Saori covers her head as the sound of footsteps get closer. Chica runs past, and then the footsteps stop. Miho pops her head up, and sees the robot.

"Children! Your parents are looking for you!" Chica calls out and begins to walk back to her original spot. They exhale, but don't dare to move, for Miho had spotted more security robots in the area.

"Don't move, there are more." Miho hisses to her friends. She hops out, and grabs a nearby wet towel. She chucks it down the hallway, and the robots follow its movement. She beckons her friends to follow her, and the burst out the door.

The girls bolt upstairs, past the massive statue of Freddy. The group run past a very confused Roxy, which becomes unfazed and runs after them, and into a photo booth.

"This thing actually had some use!" Hana says sarcastically. Miho notices her friend a bit out her place, but she chooses to ignore it and look out the curtain. To her horror, two animatronics are loose, security bots were everywhere and the bunny was among them. She ducks back in.

"We don't have long and we can't stay here for long. They're all outside." Miho says, her face growing dark.

"What are we going to d-," Saori begins to say, but Miho starts to shift out. "Hey! Where are you going?" she asks her.

"Its simple, we can't escape, not all of us. I'm going to buy you some time." Miho says. Saori grabs her arm, with tears in her eyes.

"No Miho, you can't. We've already lost Yukari, we can't lose you too!" She cries, tears streaming down her face. Hana sits in silence with Mako.

"If not, all of us will die. I've let down Yukari, and I cannot let you guys down. I owe you all my lives and for the love you've given me. It is now my turn to return the favor." And with that Miho Nishizumi, runs out, into the mess of robots. Saori cries out, but Hana is already dragging her away from Miho.

"Miho! No! No no no!" Saori cries. The bots begint to clear up, and the body of Miho Nishizumi is gone, and her boko bear lying on the ground,

"Mako, I want you to look ahead, find us a hiding spot. I'm going to stay with Saori." Hana says, and bends down to a crying Saori. Mako gives a small nod, and swiftly and silently she leaves the two alone.

"Hey, Saori look at me." Hana says, trying keep her voice steady, "Everything is going to be alright. Miho made that decision to help us. We cannot let this be in vain."

"But- but- Nishizum-dono is gone now!" Saor wails, and puts her face into her hands shaking and sobbing.

Hana hugs her and whispers "Don't worry, it will be alright. We will make everything right and make Miho proud." She stands up and surveys the area. The hallway was dark, and the lights were flickering. Mako comes silently back, and beckons for them.

"We have a lot of choices, a laser tag arena, the dining hall, a daycare , a play area that looks like a golf course and a race track." Mako reports, and looks over at Saori. She had managed to collect herself, but was still shaking.

"Lets figure that out on the way there. For now, we evade everything we can, don't draw attention to ourselves, and whatever you do, do not engage with anything." Hana says, her eyes blazing. "We will find a way out, one way, or another."
