Henry watched the smoldering ash dance in the breeze. 

He had just arrived to the property formally known as Fazbear Frights.  It's was a sprawling complex of horror themed fun. Based on all the rumors his old restaurant accumulated over the  years. 

The complex was separated in five sections with complex mazes in between. Each were themed after the animatronics they contained. 

Yes contained!

They weren't completely robots.

In anything they were monsters. 

Henry shook his head as he kicked over some charred rubble in frustration. As once again William has ruined everything he's built. He knew it was William who managed this. He was the only one of the five that was mostly mentally stable and well he was a genius. He grinded his teeth on frustration as he surveyed the damage. Each section was burned to a crisp. The remains of old pirate ship was still smoking as the cool fall air flowed through the desert. The sounds of the wind being drowned out by the remaining rescue vehicles that surrounded the complex.  Along with a gaggle of people both his employees and strangers who watched the spectical.  

He was grateful that only a few were unaccounted for. 

With the fire as large as it was it could have been so much worse. He had at least a hundred employees here and at lest three hundred guests at the time of the fire. Only three deaths and five missing wasn't a bad statistic all things considered.  He grimaced at himself at that thought.  He sometimes couldn't believe how cold he's become over the years. 

"Henry!!" 

An all too familiar voice rang out. He turned to see his business partner stepping out of their car. Followed dutifully by one of his creations as she approaches. "Alpharius.. " he said quietly in greeting. She didn't say anything as she and the bot stood next to him. The two were just coming back from a  weekend trip. A much needed break for the two. As they tend to work themselves to death. 

"I came as quickly as I could! I was just so far away and..." Alpharius stopped herself and shook her head. "I should have stayed!" She said as she walked over to a pile of smoldering wood and stamped out a still burning piece of wood in a fury. Her cloaked form momentarily failing. Her girlfriend quietly approached her whispering something to her. She quickly calmed down. Henry was grateful for Chica's presence. Dispite her own fits of rage she was the only one capable of calming Alpharius when she suffered her episodes. 

Chica leads Alpharius back over to him. The three stood as they watched the chaos around them. The sight of people being bandaged by EMS workers was an unfortunate reminder of how bad the situation was. Even if Alpharius and Chica were here it wouldn't have changed much. The three watched on in silence. 

"Did they escape?" It was Chica who broke the silence. Henry only responded with a nod! He could see the rage on Alpharius's face. The place was designed by her to contain the monsters. She must feel particularly responsible for this. "It's not your fault!" Henry says only  for Alpharius to scoff. "No! It's completely my fault. I designed this place while Teal was bound to me. The bastard knew the layout." She shakes her head. "This was entirely my fault!" She stares at her feet in shame. Both Chica and Henry's eyes meet.  They knew Alpharius wasn't lying.  

"So.. now what!" Chica asked both her and Henry! The silence returned with a vengeance. As the three stood within the ruins. "We need to find and contain them again. We can't let them wander around. The results would be disastrous." Alpharius says suddenly in her usual tone when contemplating her thoughts and ideas.  "The problem is we need somewhere extremely secure and not designed by me! As I'm corrupted by Teal's influence. A basement maybe! we'll need help. Maybe we could ask Chica's family?" As Alpharius rambling stopped as she turned to Chica. Who quickly shook her head. "Our goal was to ensure their freedom and to give them a normal life. They shouldn't be involved!" Chica said aggressively at Alpharius. Who nodded in agreement. "You're right... " Alpharius said apologetically at Chica as she continued to ramble.
