"I see it in the sparks!"
While there was much cause for celebration in the arcade, parts and services had a very different mood. Gregory had blockaded himself in your workshop with the severed torso of Moon. Strangely enough, Gregory found there was little activity going on outside. It was if all the bots had vanished. He was completely unaware of the war that had just occurred in the arcade.
The incident had decommissioned Moon and rendered Freddy stuck in the charging chamber. Freddy eventually gave up, both sides of him realizing it was futile. It gave him time to think.
While waiting in the workshop, Gregory decided to look around. It was something to take his mind off his slain ally and former partner. He found Bonnie's old attire and the various knick-knacks that had been left for him.
He found it curious that out of nowhere a new animatronic just showed up. He'd only vaguely heard of Bonnie before, mostly from Freddy. He was apparently a good guy, and close friend to Freddy. It was only a few days ago that he actually heard a bit more about Bonnie. Freddy had just randomly started talking about him and how much he missed him.
Gregory picked up the hat that had been left for Bonnie. He originally took Freddy's words as an invitation to help him search for Bonnie but now he understood. Freddy must have known and was just excited.
In the office the lights flickered as a series of tones played throughout the plex. Gregory froze, hoping it was what he thought. A notification rang on his watch.
"SYSTEM-WIDE RESET ACTIVATED."
"RESUMING FULL NETWORK FUNCTIONALITY."
Gregory breathed a big sigh of relief. It was over. He started to remove the blockade. He had moved a few cabinets and junk in front of the door. A few minutes later a text message rang on his phone.
(Y/N): everythings back to normal get to the centre hall
It was from you. Gregory acknowledged it and finished removing the blockade. Though he wanted no more than to end this, there still other things to do.
Gregory: did you find vanessa?
(Y/N): yes shes safe dont worry
You responded. Another breath of relief for Gregory. The plex was safe for now. Before returning to the stage there was something he wanted to do.
Namely, Moon.
Picking up the top half of Moon, Gregory left the workshop. Before exiting he peered outside. There were no staff bots anywhere. As he carried Moon he hoped that the sequence worked and Freddy was back to normal. Were the chambers soundproof? No. He didn't think so.
"Huh?" A gruff voice asked from far behind Gregory. He nearly jumped, didn't even have time to draw his gun.
"Ah!" He flinched and turned around. It was Monty and he looked angry. As he saw Gregory's face he changed his attitude.
"Oh. It's just you. Little guy!" Monty said, scratching his head.
"Are you...?" Gregory asked. He wasn't sure if who's side Monty was on right now. He quickly dropped Moon and drew his gun.
"Easy kid. Easy. I'm not after ya." Monty said. He didn't wish to get show in the eyes tonight. He started to back up but paused.
Gregory started to lower his gun. This was indeed just regular old Monty. "You're not bad anymore?"
"Naw, course not kid. Bonnie and the engineer fixed me." He rubbed his head. "Would've been nice if they warned me about the reset. Hit my dang head on the ground."
