## Description

### Part 1

Keepers entered the warehouse. Mike tried to shoot one, but their endo was armored. The Keepers easily defeated Mike and knocked him out, while Springtrap was still struggling against the other 2. Another Hunter came in and watched the fight. One of the Keepers pulled a knife out of his arm and stabbed Springtrap's knee. Shortly after, he was surrounded by all Keepers. The Hunter threatened to kill Mike if he doesn't surrender, so Springtrap was forced to do so and dropped his axe. He got knocked out, and when he woke up, the whole room was darker, his axe was on a shelf far away from his. He was in the middle of the room, his arm was welded to a gun on a pole, and he was facing a curtain. After failing to break free, Nightmare Bonnie came out of the dark, and greeted him with the same question Nightmare asked him years ago: "Are you afraid of death?"

### Part 2

Nightmare Bonnie introduced a game to him. First, he revealed what was behind the curtains, it was Mike, tied up to a chair, wearing headphones preventing him from hearing what they were saying. After he released Mike, he also removed another curtain behind him, revealing a machine that can kill Mike and take his soul, so it will be used on a Nightmare soldier. That way Mike would suffer for eternity, and he'll be sent to kill Springtrap eventually. He explained the rules of the game. The gun has 1 bullet in it, and it is aimed at Mike. He will have one minute to decide whether to shoot him or let the machine take his soul. Without even listening to Springtrap, Nightmare Bonnie started the countdown, and Springtrap was faced with a hard decision. He didn't know what to do, but eventually, at the very last second, he shot. Mike died within seconds (the needle of the machine is seen moving with him as he dies, implying he might have had his soul taken anyway, however, it's never mentioned). Nightmare Bonnie congratulated him for his choice, and wanted to give him a "reward"

### Part 3

Springtrap wanted to die, but the "reward" was to let Springtrap live and watch Mike's corpse rot. Nightmare Bonnie let one of the Keepers beat Springtrap while telling him he was very merciful compared to his commander (most likely Mangle). Suddenly they heard a noise from the other room. Nightmare Bonnie sent the Hunter to check it out, he came back a few moments later and twitched while claiming nothing was there. Nightmare Bonnie shrugged it off and they all left the warehouse. Springtrap swore that he will find Nightmare Bonnie and kill him, but he ignored Springtrap and left him alone. Springtrap tried to reach his axe again but he was unsuccessful. He started blaming himself for Mike's death, then fell asleep for a short time. When he woke up the axe was right next to him on the floor. He saw a shadow of Bonnie walking away from the room. He shrugged it off and cut his arm off to free himself from the gun. He limped back to Freddy Fazbear's pizza II, with a scar in his soul.
