The gondolas carried them to a strange area, various broken gondolas were scattered about, and like the rest of the mall, the place seemed to be broken.
The ride stopped, and the three of them stepped out.
"Alright, now, we just gotta find Chica." Monty said, he stepped forward, Charlie and Roxy followed.
"Alright, shouldn't be too far." Monty said.
Monty led them through the area, and soon they reached what looked like a kitchen.
"Chica! Chiiiiicaaaa!" Monty called.
"So, uh, Roxy, what was Cassie like?" Charlie asked, "Huh?" Roxy asked, "You know, you said there was a kid named Cassie who liked you too, what was she like?" Charlie asked.
Roxy stood still for a moment, "She was, a lot like you, heh, she was very nice, but... she didn't have a lot of friends." Roxy said.
"You said nobody showed up to her party? Hm, I wish I could have gone." Charlie said as he looked down, Roxy smiled, "Well, maybe one day I'll see her again, then I'll introduce you to her." Roxy said.
"Hm, maybe..." Charlie said.
They pressed forward, and soon found a conveyor belt, with Chica laying on it, inactive.
"Chica!" Monty said as he ran over to her, he stared at her, stopping when he saw she was inactive.
"Chica? Hey, come on, you got more fight in ya than this! Come on!" He said as he shook her.
"Hm, maybe we just need to repair her a bit." Charlie said, Monty looked back at him, and nodded, "There should be some parts up ahead." Monty said as he stared through the belt.
"Alright, activate the belt, and we'll go see." Roxy said.
Charlie nodded, and climbed up the ladder beside it...
Soon, the belt was activated, and Monty laid Chica ok the belt and crawled inside, Charlie and Roxy followed.
They saw a bunch of giant cupcakes, and a giant whisk, they saw a deactivated endoskeleton in the trash beneath them, Roxy and Monty carefully jumped down, Roxy held out her arms, Charlie leaped down, and she caught him.
"You okay?" She asked, Charlie smiled and nodded.
They walked over to the endoskeleton, and laid Chica down beside it, "Alright Charlie, do your thing." Monty said.
Charlie noticed her face was heavily damaged, specifically around her mouth.
He managed to replace a good chunk of her face, but... the endoskeleton was missing the voicebox, and Chica's was extremely damaged.
However, he successfully replaced the broken wires on her arms and legs, and even managed to put some of her 'skin' back on, he was able to replace her eyes, which were on the verge of popping out of their sockets.
"Okay, she's almost done, but I can't seem to fix her voice." Charlie said.
Suddenly, a loud mechanical noise echoed throughout the kitchen.
Chica jerked forward, staring right into Charlie's eyes, he stumbled back and hit his back on the floor.
"Kzzzzzzz, krrrrrrrr!" She attempted to speak.
"Chica? Are you okay? I missed you!" Monty said
(A/N telling Chica you missed her is commonly a sign of impending doom, and a reference the author had to make at some point)
She looked up at Monty, "Zzzzzzrrrrr, Krrrrrrrrrr." She said, "It's no use, she can't talk, I'm... I'm sorry."
Charlie said, Chica turned to a door that looked like it led to a bathroom, and pointed, "Huh?" Charlie asked, she walked towards the bathroom, opening it, and pointed towards an arcade machine in the corner.
It was titled 'Chica's Feeding Frenzy'.
"Huh? It's an arcade game, you alright Chica?" Roxy asked, "Zzzzzzzzz!" She pointed towards the machine.
"Maybe, she wants us to play it?" Charlie said, "Wait a minute, you may wanna let me try, this game is hard." Monty said, "Wait, why do we need to play this darn game in the first place? We fix her and this is the first thing she wants us to do?" Roxy asked,
"Maybe this machine will give us something if we win?" Charlie asked.
"Only one way to find out." Monty said.
**Thirty Minutes Later**
Charlie had finally beaten the final boss.
"Oh my goodness that was hard! Who designed this dumb game?" He asked out loud.
Suddenly, something flew out of the machine, it hit Charlie's shoe, and he looked down at it...
"Huh? Is this... a voice box?" He asked.
"Zzzzzzzzzzz Rrrrrrrr!" Chica said as she pointed inside of her 'beak'.
Charlie looked over to her, and approached her.
She crouched down on the floor, and opened her 'beak', he reached his hand inside, and put the voice box into place.
She blinked, and froze for a second before she could move again.
"Pizza!" She said excitedly.
"Chica! Your okay!" Monty yelled as he hugged her tightly, she smiled as she hugged him back.
Charlie and Roxy awkwardly stared at the two of them...
She turned to Charlie, "Thank you for fixing me!" She said as she hugged him, he could feel his bones weakening from her strength...
"Gahhhhhh!" Charlie gasped, "Oh, sorry." She said as she let him go.
"You too Roxy!" Chica said happily, Roxy smiled, "Yeah, but, what the heck happened to you anyway?" Roxy asked, Chica paused, "Huh, I don't really remember." She replied.
"Well, the important thing is that your okay, now we can get outta-" Monty began
"Wait, but what about Freddy?" Chica asked.
