I backed away slowly with my hand glued to my mouth. Roxy was still frozen in place and I could hear her scanners whirring like crazy. She was back. And I had no idea how.

Chica's body was slumped against the seat in the photo booth with horrifying cries coming from her. It was a sound I'd never thought I'd hear in my life. A cry is a sound made from a human, but hers were so robotic. She glitched with every sound she made and even small sparks flew which seemed to make her cry even harder. I guess the beak I repaired worked.

"Chica.."

   Chica jolted upright she her mechanical wheels spun she slowly turned to face us.

   "He-he tried to used me."

   "Who did?"

   She went into another fit of crying and Roxy and I just looked at each other, not knowing what to do. Roxy had enough and dragged Chica out from the photo booth and gave her a little nudge of encouragement.

   "Chica who?"

   "F-Freddy.."

   I gasped.

   "Tell us exactly what happened."

   "Well..it's hard to remember exactly, I was disfunctional for awhile, before my beak was replaced, then after I seemed to be back my signals and scanners were all messed up and next thing I know everything shuts down and I'm being hacked!"

   "It's probably Gregory's doing again."

   Saying his name made my voice hitch. It was so hard to accept who he was now, but there was nothing I could do to change that. I mean come on he tried to kill me.

   "They're probably trying to hack into your signals to try and locate us. Chica, you're staying with us from now on, we're all getting revenge now."

   Roxy looked really serious, I never thought her and Chics got along too well but right now I guess we really didn't have much of a choice. For whatever reason Freddy and Gregory were out for blood. But it's three against one.

   "When he tried to hack into my system..there was one thing I could hear, it was like I could hear Freddy's voice for some reason-like he was trying to send me a message on purpose."

   "Well, what did he say?!"

   "He said he's coming..but he didn't mean himself, he literally said the word he."

   That couldn't be good. You know what maybe he's referring to Gregory. Good. I dare Gregory to step foot near me again, see what happens. It'll be on sight.

"We should get moving, Freddy and Gregory are clearly on their way and they'll be here soon enough, we don't have much time."

Roxy, I, and now Chica made our way through the main atrium heading now the nearest exit.

   "Wait."

   "What is it Chica come on we need to go."

   "We need to make a stop really quick-just in case."

   Roxy and I looked at each other but had no other choice than to follow Chica. I assumed she was heading towards her green room for a last minute snack or maybe the bakery, but I was surprised when I saw her leading us towards Fazer blast.

   "Come on it'll be fast."

   Chica ran inside the elevator and spam pressed the button until we somehow all fit in it. I felt like we were wasting time, I mean how was this elevator even working in the first place? We reached the Fazer blast lobby and Chica immediately got out and ran towards the winners room, down a long hallway. I remember how this place used to be colored with neon lights that made lazar tag feel like lazar tag. It was all gone now, as most of things were.

   "Here, I know there's only one but it'll do. At least we have something."

   I almost giggled at what Chica handed me. The winner's Fazerblaster. Was this supposed to protect us against Gregory and Freddy or something? I mean come on.

   "Chica, I'm sorry but what exactly is this for?"

   She looked at me blankly as if I just personally insulted her. I was still holding back a laugh and Roxy looked like she wanted to leave and never come back.

   "In case Freddy and Gregory find us, duh!" She chirped.

   "Okay hold on but how will this help us? It's a toy is it not?"

   Chica still looked serious and absolutely confused at what I was asking.

   "The red light messes with Freddy's sensors, if we run into him we can shoot him with it and have time to get away."

   "Okay and what about Gregory? He's not an animatronic like Freddy and he has the stamina of an 11 year old boy, that thing isn't going to do anything to him."

   "What..?"

   "Wait Chica are you serious? Gregory is like, a human. Like me."

   Now Chica stifled a giggle.

   "Yes of course I know that! But a Fazerblast would do much more damage to a person than it would an animatronic. It's a lazar Cassie, you don't even want to know what that'll do."

   I was shocked. There was no way. I knew this place always had its secrets.

   "Wait so... it's not..a toy?"

   Chica looked at Roxy, then back at me and shook her head. I was in disbelief. How was the even legal? Actually scratch that, I knew for a fact it wasn't. This place just keeps getting worse. Sure I hated Gregory right now but there was no chance I was using that thing on him. If I saw what that did to someone I'd be in therapy for the rest of my life. Freddy however I was okay with, he could handle a little short circuit in his system, after what they've all done to me of course.
