The group slowly crept around Umbrella's exploded lab, searching for the rampaging beast that was responsible for all this. Leon turned a corner, a few steps in front of the group, when Golden Freddy appeared in front of him. Except, he looked... very beat up.
"Golden Freddy! Are you ok?" Leon asked, catching the golden bear as he fell.
"I..." he coughed, shutting his good eye. His other eye had been torn out, and his ear was ripped off. One of his legs were missing, and there was a gaping hole going straight through him.
"I'm dying... William... I weakened him... Go and... *cough* ...kill him..." Golden Freddy managed to say.
"But Golden Freddy-."
"It's Fredbear. Not Golden Freddy," the bear said weakly, smiling at the group. Foxy rushed to his side.
"FREDBEAR!"
"My brother... it's ok, I know now... it wasn't your fault. And I..." Fredbear's mouth stopped moving, but the group heard a soft voice inside say, "...forgive you..."

"Fredbear? BROTHER!" Foxy shook the animatronic, Leon still holding him up. Foxy began to sob, but no tears came out. Of course, he's a robot, he can't cry. But the soul inside him was crying. He hugged his brother's animatronic suit, closing his eyes and continuing to sob. Freddy, Bonnie and Chica stood solemnly above the three on the ground, Leon also hugging the bear and Foxy. Claire was hugging Sherry, who was crying into her singlet, while Alice hid behind Kara, watching what was happening. Marcus was hugging North, and Simon and Josh were standing at the back of the group, speechless. And Mr X lifted his fedora off his head, holding it at his waist for a few moments. Leon layed the bear down on the ground, Foxy stepping away. X layed his hat solemnly on Fredbear's stomach, covering the hole. Then, the group comtinued their search, but a little more solemn.

A few hours later, they still hadn't found William.
"Wait- I have an idea!" Leon cried enthusiastically. The upset group looked up at him without effort.
"Why don't we just go back in time and stop William from being born?" The others murmured to each other, nodding approvingly.
"That's a great idea!" Marcus said, looking up at the man again. Leon beamed and felt proud of himself, leading the others to the exit. Back at the time machine, the squishy environment in the small machine was uncomfortable for everyone- except Leon, who was still very proud of himself.
"Take us to-." Leon stopped. He thought for a moment, before showing his embarrassment in his cheeks, displaying a scarlett colour.
"Um, does anyone know his birthday?" Everyone peered at each other, shrugging. Leon face palmed, before a deep voice spoke up.
"The... 25th of August... *groan* 1956." Leon turned his head around as far as he could, and the sight before him was surprising. He could see a golden figure out of the corner of his eye.
"Fredbear?!?"
"No... Derek..." The golden figure than transformed into a small child, tears streaming down his face, with a black striped shirt.

Leon heard a robotic scream behind him in the time machine, so he turned his head to see the animatronics having some sort of a seizure on the floor. Then, the light in there eyes turned off.
"Freddy?" Leon said, staring at the machines in shock. Some sort of transparent being flew out of each animatronic, settling in front of Leon. They were teens- or ghosts of teens- one had a brown shirt, one had a purple shirt, one had a yellow shirt and one had a red shirt. The one with the red shirt turned to the Fredbear kid- or Derek.
"My... my brother... Derek......" he said. Derek turned to him as well.
"...Terrence...?" The kid in the red shirt nodded, floating over to his brother.
"And Alex, Sarah and Fred?" The others nodded, staying back.
"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to do what I did-."
"I've already forgiven you, Terrence. It's ok," Derek replied. They hugged, tears still streaming down Derek's face.
"I'm sorry for calling you 'The Crying Child'... and a crybaby," Terrence said. Derek scoffed.
"Really? Of all the things that you could've been sorry for..." Derek roared amusingly, patting Terrence's head. Fred, Alex and Sarah returned to the animatronic bodies, But Terrence wanted to stay with his brother in the ghost form. But he couldn't. Afton had locked his soul into the machine, Derek's presence was able to let him out a short length away from his body.

"You have to return to your animatronic," Derek said sadly. Terrence began to be pulled to his body, as if some magical force was taking him. He moved against it.
"No! Brother, I wanna stay with you, see mum... yes, she'll probably be scared of me in this form, but the animatronic body... she would kill me!" Terrence began to cry, holding his arms out towards the floating child.
"No. I won't be here for long. I have to return to my body, too." Terrence sighed and gave up, flying back into his body. The lights of Foxy's eyes flickered and he tried his best to shift his head towards Derek.
"Goodbye, brother," he said in his robotic, pirate voice. Derek waved before disappearing. Foxy looked down, ears drooping. Leon placed a hand on his shoulder, causing him to look up at him.
"You... you're ok, buddy," he said, trying to reassure the robot. Foxy sighed.
"No... I'm not..." While the time machine was in flight, Foxy forced the door open.
"I'll make this right."
"NO!" Leon shouted as the four animatronics leaped out of the machine, the door shutting behind them. But before it closed, Leon stuck his arm through it. He screamed in agony as the flesh on his arm began to bubble from the force of the travel, but he reduced the pain. He grabbed Freddy's arm, who grabbed Bonnie's arm, who grabbed Chica's arm, and finally grabbing Foxy's arm. Their injuries became severe- they lost many limbs and they began to go a green colour. Then, they regrew limbs somehow- Bonnie's missing face grew back, Chica's arms grew back and Freddy's leg he had just lost grew back. But holes began to appear on them- and their teeth and claws sharpened. Their eyes became creepy balls of orange light, sitting in the animatronic eye sockets. Leon finally found the strength to pull them all up into the machine. He held his arm, because it was in a lot of pain.

T landed at their destination, and the door automatically opened. Everyone spilled out, Leon bouncing out and rolling around on the floor. He groaned as he pushed himself up, wincing in pain when his arm made contact with the ground. He stared with horror at his now blackened arm- he could barely move it without hurting it. Claire rushed to Leon's side.
"LEON! You ok?" Leon groaned in pain as Claire placed a hand on his arm.
"S-Sorry." She quickly pulled her hand off of Leon's crispy arm. Tears formed in the corners of his eyes, a lone tear streaming down his face. He quickly wiped it away, failing to make sure Claire hadn't seen his action.
"We need to find you help," she said, helping Leon to stand. He nodded before Connor came over, holding him up on the other side. Leon was weak right now from all his injuries, so Claire and Connor supported him back up into T.
