Leo moved through the loading docks on his way to the food prep area. He was attempting to make a salad for Gregory to eat so the kid could at least have some greens in his diet. He thought that he could easily make one at the Sides & Salads bar, but quickly deduced that wasn't going to be the case.


Aside from the fact that they don't throw away the salads or sides at the end of the day which was a very big health & safety violation itself, Leo had spotted something going on with the mop bots. One of them saw him and just... Stared at him. Honestly, it kinda creeped him out, so he went to the loading docks to get Gregory his snack.


Which leads us to now.

The loading docks were strangely empty. Not a single S.T.A.F.F. bot in site and no noise aside from his own footsteps. The silence left him a bit tense, prompting him to move slowly through the loading docks as he looked around. From time to time he would scan the surrounding area searching for something possibly hiding. He wondered why he couldn't see Gregory anywhere in MAZErcise, but quickly speculated that he had entered the vent that Chica found.

Vents, security offices, and areas that didn't have sensors or where the sensors were offline were huge blind spots for him and Roxy. He passed by the trash compactor and spared a brief look at it before he heard a metal clang.


He spun around now on full alert and searched the area. The sensors were still down, so his eyes were useless in the loading docks, which forced him to rely on his normal vision as well as his hearing. He then heard the sound of a can drop on the floor and he turned towards the noise.


"Who's there?" He asked. "I know you're here. Don't make me come and find you!"



Again, his words were met with a deafening silence, but the wolf was no fool. He wasn't that gullible anymore. He looked at his surroundings, spotting the nearby trash compactor and looked at it for a good few seconds. It was a backup plan/death sentence but nonetheless he would keep it in mind.


He heard rustling again and turned around before quickly jumping back, a massive scissor claw mere inches away from cutting his head off. Elizabeth glared at Leo, frustrated that she didn't kill him at that moment.



Leo returned the glare back to Elizabeth, now being able to see what she looked like.


"So that's what you look like, huh Scrap Baby?" Leo said. "I gotta say, I was happier never seeing that face."


"I won't let you get in my Daddy's way, Leo!" Elizabeth said. "Gregory is important to him."


"Well, your father better get used to disappointment, because he's not getting him!" Leo snarled. "I don't know how you survived that inferno 62 years ago, Elizabeth... But when I'm done with you, you're gonna wish you'd stayed buried."


Unlike the other Glamrocks, Leo was no stranger to violence. He and Elizabeth had tussled before and both knew their strengths and weaknesses. But the wolf knew that Elizabeth still had an advantage over him. Her massive scissor hand. He needed to be careful of it and try to disarm her. Literally.


A task he knew that she would make really difficult. After all, she appeared to have a grudge against him. Or rather, her father did.


"Heh. The apple really doesn't fall far from the blood-drenched tree..." He muttered. "As the old adage goes; Like father, like daughter..."





At the same time deep below the Pizzaplex, Gregory was beginning to regain consciousness. He groaned as he held his head.


"Owwww..." He moaned. "Everything hurts... Where am I..? I don't see-OWW!"
