     Terriel yawned and stretched as he woke up, potato chip crumbs falling off his shirt as he stood up. "Morning Gold..." He muttered as he walked over to the animatronic.

     "Oh, you're finally awake."

     "Yes, and I want pancakes."

     Gold started laughing, looking over at the player. "Question." Terriel said, leaning against the wall. "Why am I still here? This is... This is the seventh night! This is 'Five Nights at Freddy's'!"

     "Well, the game has a sixth night of higher difficulty, and the seventh night, this one, is a customizable night, where you can set the difficulty to whatever you want. This is the last night though, don't worry."

     "Good. I really don't want to sleep on a tile floor again" Gold laughed and looked around at the room. "Where's everyone else?"

     "Doing something. I don't really know. Wanna go explore the restaurant?"

     "Heck yeah!" Terriel exclaimed, brushing the rest of the crumbs off of his shirt. "Let's go!"

     The two stood on the show stage, pretending to be Freddy, and played a game of tag in the dining hall. Gold managed to balance the cupcake from the office on his head, and Terriel played guitar with a broom in the supply closet. And for the cherry on top of the cake, Terriel managed to get revenge on Foxy from scaring him the night before. The two were busy laughing as they walked up the west hall when they bumped into Bonnie.

     "Oh hey Bonnie, what's u-"

     "Shhhh. Shuddup." The animatronic whispered, covering Terriel's mouth. The three peered around the corner, and Terriel blinked as he saw the Glitch floating around the dining hall. At that moment, the Glitch looked straight at them, and Terriel flinched as it disappeared in a flurry of distorted pixels and mist.

     "Wha- where did it go?" Gold asked, walking out into the dining hall.

     "I... I don't know..." Terriel said nervously, looking around. "We should probably get the others.

"Yeah... come on, let's go."

     A bit later, the group were busy talking in the East hall, while Gold translated for Terriel, who wasn't really paying attention. 'Where did it go?...' Terriel thought, staring out at the dining hall. From what he had figured out from eavesdropping and general deduction was that the Glitch didn't just leave like that. It murdered, or at least followed... Sighing, he stuck his hands in his pockets. Suddenly, he noticed a light black mist covering the ground... and it was heading right for-

     Terriel stepped back along with the others as Bonnie began to twitch violently. Gold stepped in front of Terriel as the bunny animatronic started laughing in a completely different voice. Suddenly, the animatronic turned to face Terriel and Gold, the teen shaking uncontrollably. "GOLD GET OUT OF THERE!" Freddy yelled, and the two looked at each other. At that moment, they split up and sprinted in different directions. The possessed Bonnie didn't falter, however, and grabbed Terriel by the neck, hoisting up him in the air.

     "NO!" Gold yelled, stopping in his tracks. "LET HIM GO!" Possessed Bonnie only looked over at Gold, and threw Terriel against the wall, actually leaving a dent in the wall and left a blood splatter. The player collapsed, blood pooling around his head. The rest of the animatronics froze, backing up from Bonnie as he turned to face them, twitching violently. The possessed animatronic hadn't even taken one step, however, when the group heard laugher. It started off soft, but soon grew to be a deranged laughter, echoing off the walls.

     Gold looked over to see Terriel, standing up, laughing his head off, his hands covered in blood that was most certainly from the head wound. "So is that how we're going to play this game?" Terriel laughed, his voice dripping with insanity. Bonnie went to grab Terriel by the neck once again, but the player only grabbed the animatronic's arm and threw him into the wall.

     The animatronics took a step backwards. A kid who didn't look strong enough to move a small dining room table just picked up a half-ton robot and threw it into a wall without breaking a sweat. Freddy blinked, panicking slightly.

'Who is this kid?!'

     Terriel laughed softly, and only watched as the Glitch's mist seeped out of Bonnie and flew over to Foxy. "Oh a race? Those are fun." He said as the fox twitched violently for a second then slowly turned to face him. Terriel only smirked, then turned around and sprinted off in the opposite direction, screaming "Gotta go fast!" like a madman. The possessed animatronic only ran after him as Terriel ran towards the office.

     Freddy blinked, snapping out of his stupor and running over to Bonnie. "Good, he's only unconscious... Chica! Help me bring him over to the backstage!" Chica nodded and walked over, and Freddy looked at his younger counterpart. "Goldie- What are you loo-" His gaze followed Gold's and saw Terriel leaning against the entrance to the east hall.

     "Sup." He said casually, like he didn't just outrun the fastest animatronic in the game. "We might be screwed, maybe, maybe not, I don't really know. But-" He said, taking a few steps to the left, "Foxy makes a lot of noise." At that moment, Foxy came flying out of the west hall, narrowly missing Terriel. The possessed animatronic got to its feet and screeched, running towards Terriel once again. And just like last time, Terriel only sidestepped the attack. Foxy tried for another 3 tries, and by that point everyone could tell that the Glitch was reeeeally getting tired of that. It stared at Terriel for a good half minute, almost like it was studying him, and then lunged one last time. Only Terriel didn't move an inch, only raised his knee, and then proceeded to kick the animatronic into one of the tables a good ten feet away. Gold looked up at Freddy, whose mouth was hanging open.

'Who the hell is this kid?!'

      Terriel sighed and walked over to the group. "Well that was fun." He said, suddenly back to his normal childish demeanor. "Sorry about Bonnie."

      "Uh... It's ok... he'll wake up when the night restarts..." Gold said, looking at Terriel. He didn't look like he just single-handedly took down two possessed animatronics, heck the only remnant of his fight was the blood that was still trickling down the back of his head, staining his clothes.

     "That's good." The player said, coughing slightly. He was shaking slightly, touching the back of his head. "Still bleeding... Huh." He said, a slight tone of worry in his voice. "Heh..." He looked at his hand, watching the blood drip to the floor- but at that moment he noticed the mist pooling around his feet. "I- uh..." He tried to step away, but the mist followed him around, rising up to his knees. "G- guys!?"

     "Terriel!" Freddy yelled, and shoved Terriel out of the way right before the mist shot up, consuming the bear animatronic.

     "FREDDY!" Terriel screamed, backing up as Freddy began to twitch violently. He went to run towards the backstage, but only came face to face with possessed Foxy and Bonnie, staring at him with creepy eyes. He felt Gold grab his arm, and the player grabbed ahold of the golden animatronic, shaking.

     "Everyone... even Chica- they're..."

"All of them... the Glitch..." Terriel glanced around, looking for an escape route, but as his eyes flicked up towards the clock, a smirk grew on his face. "No way..." He said, bursting out laughing. The other animatronics just stared at him. "This is amazing!" He laughed, clapping.

     "What are you..." Gold asked, looking over to the clock. "Oh."

     "Eeeeey Glitch." Terriel said, smirking at Freddy. "Check the time." The animatronics turned to look at the clock, and Terriel laughed. "3... 2... 1..." Suddenly, bells rang out, echoing through the hall. "HA! I BEAT YOUR GAME! AND EVEN WITH YOU-" Terriel yelled, pointing at Freddy. "SCREWING EVERYTHING UP!"

At that moment, the whole game went pixalated, and everything went dark.
