-| Trapped in the Pizzaplex |-

Prize Puppet

The three of them exited Fazerblast and made their way down to the floor of the Atrium. Jason rode in Bonnie's chest cavity and Ben walked close by. He was mumbling something but Jason couldn't make out what.

Bonnie abruptly stopped, "You guys, I have located two possible exit points, besides the obvious Main Lobby. There is a Fire Escape on the Third Floor. There is also the Loading Garages in the basement. You wanna check 'em out?"

Jason hopped out of Bonnie and landed on the tile floor, Jason and Ben debated for a while, then came to an agreement. "Alright, we're checking out the Fire Escape in the Prize Counter."

"Hmm, it seems the elevator in the Lobby is out of commission and repairs are being done. I know another way. Follow me."

Bonnie led them up to the third floor and to El Chips, a Mexican styled restaurant named after one of the older modelled animatronics from before the Pizzaplex. The garage door only opened partly and Bonnie couldn't fit through the small gap. Ben and Jason could. Bonnie said he would guide them through Jason's Faz Watch.

They went through El Chips and down a hallway, decorated with neon lights. Before they knew it, they were in the East Arcade. It was smaller than the Fazcade but still had plenty of arcade machines.

"Try looking for a door with a security badge on it. It should lead right into the Prize Counter." Bonnie informed the boys on Jason's Faz Watch.

Ben and Jason split up, Ben messaged Jason that he had found the door, Jason quickly made his way to Ben. His footsteps echoing in the empty Arcade usually bustling with Patrons and Staff.

The door opened right up and they were in the security office. Jason could have sworn he heard a giggle behind him, but when he turned around nothing was there.

"You good, Jason?" Ben asked

"Yeah. I thought I heard something." Jason responded, they pressed forward.

When they reached the main entrance to the Prize Counter, Jason Faz Watch beeped, a message from Bonnie read: I forgot to tell you but be wary of the Prize Puppet. He doesn't take too kindly to being woken up early. Usually he's sleeping at this time but you never know. Be safe.

The entered the Prize Counter, it was darker with lights being provided by small LEDs, giving the area a spacey feel. A glass dome was placed in the centre of a hexagonal room, looking down on the Main Lobby. The room was connected to many hallways that fed into a circular room on the outside, many tables, chairs, and couches lined the walls, Various Fazbear Ent. merchandise was placed on large tables and or on the shelves for Patrons to buy. Doors led to other rooms, some for relaxing and others were probably for the staff. Raspy breath could be heard coming from one of the rooms for VIPs.

Then they rounded a corner and there he was, The Prize Puppet.

The Prize Puppet was a tall, slender animatronic, he was mainly black with white buttons on his chest. His forearms and lower legs were covered in red and blue stripes. He was adorned with yellow shoulder pads. Like the Glamrocks, he had three fingers and a thumb on each hand. Each finger had different coloured stripes on them. To keep with the space theme of the Prize Counter, an astronaut helmet covered his head.

His raspy breath filled the room. Jason and Ben left the animatronic in search of the Fire Escape. It wasn't long before they did. The bright red doors had white markings of a stick figure running up stairs escaping a raging fire down below and letters that spelled out: FIRE ESCAPE. Ben attempted to push it open.

It didn't budge an inch.

Bonnie, the stupid door won't open. Jason typed into his Faz Watch

I'm sorry, I should have told you this earlier, you need to become a VIP in order to use that door. It's a very strange requirement. Bonnie responded,

A realisation dawned upon Jason. The hacked Part Pass! Brian had given it unlimited access, essentially turning it into an off-brand Security Badge. Jason set the Party Pass on the sensor near the door, it chimed and the locks clicked.

Ben reached for the door handle but a long hand closed it. Jason and Ben looked up. Standing before the boys was the Prize Puppet through his helmet, The Puppet was staring at them.

The boys ran in every which way, the Puppet giving chase.

Jason noticed that it was attached to a cable on a track. "It can only follow the track!" Jason said to Ben

Ben gave a nod. "I have an idea!"

They ran through one of the sections with Plushies lining tables and into a room just outside the Prize Counter. The Prize Puppet stopped just at the doorway, he extended one of his long arms and reached his fingers at the boys, who stood just outside his grasp. Ben mocked the animatronic,

"Ha. HA! Yeah! Take that you overgrown piece of black licorice!" Ben pumped his arms in the air. Jason joined in,

"Yeah! Too bad you can't detach from that cable. Looks like you're stuck in there. Ha! Loser!"

In between his raspy breaths, The Prize Puppet seemed to have chuckled a little. Then Jason heard a click and a zip as the cable detached. The Puppet slumped to the carpeted floor. He stood up, towering over the boys. "Ah hell." Ben muttered,

Jason threw the security door open and they entered the East Arcade. It was much darker than before. They tried to be quiet, listening in the darkness for the Puppets' raspy breathing. He swung from the ceiling and bounced on the floor, almost dancing. He was hunting them. They tried to run, but the Prize Puppet, with his built in springs and extendable limbs, had cornered Ben. Jason could make a brake for it, he could- No.

"I'm not leaving yet." He said to himself

Jason saw a balloon making station and he grabbed one of the helium tanks and ran over to the Puppet, swinging it at animatronic.

The Prize Puppet's plastic casing shattered and one of the extendable part's locking mechanism broke and his arm dragged along the floor as Jason continued to beat the animatronic. Jason brough the helium tank once more down on the glass of the Puppet's helmet, shattering it and caving in. The helium tank busted and it was sent flying into the Prize Counter.

Jason and Ben exitted the East Arcade and made their way back to Bonnie. The Glamrock was released to see them. "Are you okay guys? What happened in there?"

"I'd rather not say." Ben said

"We found an exit point, we know how to get there and how to unlock it. Now all we need is the rest of our friends." Jason said to the trio

"I might have an idea where one of us is at." Ben started, "it's a long shot but it might work. Sean and I talked while waiting for you to arrive and he told me Monty Golf was his favourite attraction. So maybe he's in Monty Golf."

"Monty Golf it is." Bonnie said, Jason climbed back into Bonnie's chest cavity and the trio left El Chips. Jason felt the eyes of someone on him and noticed a figure dart away on the ground floor, disappearing behind a door. He could only make out two features, a slim body and rabbit ears.

Author's Note:

The Puppet returns!? Although a small cameo, I think I implemented him pretty well. I felt like he fit well in the Prize Counter cuz it's kinda empty in Security Breach and also I could make a pun out of his name. The Prize Puppet. We're also getting a look into Jason's character. One that cares for his friends and won't leave one behind even though he might be risking his own life. More shall be coming, so stay tuned!
