The room was dank and musty, the smell was rancid and the air was so thick it was almost suffocating. There was a desk on the far side and many security monitors were placed on top. The chair was next to the desk and on the wall next to the chair was a poster reading: Celebrate. This poster had been there many years, witnessing tragedy after tragedy, still it hung with an eerie stillness to it. The door on the left was cracked open slightly, letting dim light filter into the otherwise dark room. Many people had made it into this building, but also, many did not make it out. Horrible things had happened, leading up to the most horrible thing yet.

Through the light the boxes on the right of the room were barely visible. The boxes were filled with old mascot costumes, suits that never made it to the stage, and many of them were failed versions of the mascots that still stood on the stage.

Next to the cardboard sat something strange. A costume sat out of its box, for it seems that, due to the stiffness, it wouldn't fit inside. The costume was a strange greenish color that seemed tinted with gold. Due to many years of mistreatment, the mascot sat slumped and broken. Still, there was something about it; something that caused any person nearby to feel a shiver up their spine. Through the murky light anyone could see several metal parts sticking out through various parts of the costume.

Suddenly, in the darkness a whirring sound emitted itself from the costume; a low, ominous, metallic sound, and without a doubt subtly getting louder. Two slits opened in the half-light, and from the two slits shone two glowing white dots, the eyes to the mascot costume. It was alive.

-  2 hours later-

The batmobile pulled to a stop near what looked like a construction site he had flown for hours and crossed from the outskirts of Hurricane Utah to the other side of town. Luke looked around he swore he had heard screaming, was his hearing wrong? No he was never wrong. Luke continued to look around, the construction site was quiet and empty who ever was screaming wasn't here or were they?. The duo could hear it still faint but it was definitely here but where?, Batwoman and Batwing headed further into the construction site.

The hallways were dark and narrow, but Mike knew where he was going. He ran past the main dining hall where the old Bonnie, Freddy, and Chica used to stand. Quickly and nimbly he slipped past the old Pirate's Cove and into a long forgotten hallway. Almost there. His breathing quickened when he spotted the empty doorway at the end of the hallway. There it is... Mike sprinted through the doorway and stopped in the center of the small room.

It smelled rank, like it hadn't been cleaned out since it was first created. What did he tell me it was called? He thought. Shaking his head in frustration, Mike turned to the left far side and noticed a desk with a stack of monitors on top. Perfect! He ran over to the desk and scanned all of the buttons and levers carefully. Deftly, he moved his hands over a series of buttons and pulled one lever at the very last minute. They had power.

The monitors switched on and Mike could see Marla and Lamar sitting in some diner chairs, talking while Toy Freddy, Toy Bonnie, and Toy Chica danced, sang, and played. He moved his vision over to the Kid's Cove and found Jason running playfully around the room with Mangle on his tail while Carlton just sat with a disgusted look on his face. Jessica, John, and Charlie eyed the robot suspiciously. None of them knew that Mike had left.

Turning away from the desk, he found himself looking at a series of boxes and suits. An old urge boiled up inside him as his eyes widened at the sight. He's in there somewhere... Mike ignored the urge for a time to search frantically through the suits. Where is it? Where is it? His anger boiled over when he couldn't find the suit he was looking for.
