> **—The Full Story of Five Nights at Wario's: Part Two**

**2004** is a year in the early 21st century and one of the most important years in the entire *Five Nights at Wario's* timeline. It is relevant in both Timeline 1 and Timeline 2. It also serves as the beginning of the Great Reset timeline, a modified Timeline 1 created by Entity 01 as part of a deal with Bruno Gate.

The Endgame Quest of Five Shows at Wario's takes place during this year in the Great Reset Timeline.

## Events

* In all timelines, Wario and Waluigi finally complete construction and open Wario's Fast Food Factory. They hire Luigi, Mario and his wife Peach to assist with production and quality control. They begin mass producing their special hamburgers and other menu items to stores across the kingdom, just like how Wario and Waluigi had envisioned.

* **Great Reset Timeline -**  As part of Entity 01's deal with Bruno Gate, he resets time beginning with 2004. Bruno is reincarnated as a human and is implanted with the memory of serving the deal by finding Entity 01's curse book and going through with a ritual. Bruno barely hesitates to do this knowing that his daughter will be cured, but once he does, he immediately questions what he had truly done.
	+ Entity 01 breaks the barrier between Gray City and the living world due to Bruno's ritual and unleashes himself directly in the middle of the city, along with his VIRUS manifestations. The city falls under total chaos, with people quickly being killed left and right by Entity 01.
		- In addition, Entity 01 resurrects a massive theater similar to the one in Gray City Bruno survived through into the living world, proceeding to trap victims inside. Among these victims was Richard McRoy, who was able to escape unharmed.
		- He was then contacted by Christopher Peterson, who insisted that Richard investigate the old McRoy home to dig up his father's research, who had also passed away during this year. Although he was attacked by various VIRUS forms, including Emma, he was able to survive and found his father's research he had collected on Wario's factory grounds, which helped arrive to the conclusion that electricity was the key to defeating the dark evils of Entity 01.
		- In search of electrical components, he first explored the abandoned Wario's Cafe where he was able to find a power component and a crowbar. He then entered the old Morning Star building, left abandoned by his father seventeen years prior. After using the crowbar to knock down and collect the generator, he was interrupted by the same mysterious Mario-like entity that Morning Star had attempted to seal off. He was briefly sent into an in-between dimension created by the broken laws of nature that the portal had created, until he was sent back into the living world where Max Peterson told Richard to immediately leave with the generator.
		- He then went to Wario's Fast Food Factory in secret, where he installed the electrical components ready for use. His father's research also lead to the conclusion that Entity 01 would try to breach the factory's mysterious forces as an access point to another world. When he was about to leave, the Control Room floor broke beneath him, dropping him into a cave system. Using various tools and equipment he found in the cave, he managed to safely escape.
		- Afterward, Wario was contacted by Richard McRoy, explaining what he had to do for whenever the rampaging beast showed up at his property. Wario reluctantly agreed to his orders and made his way over there, questioning why it was his factory that this would take place at. He then encountered none other than Entity 01, already on the roof of the factory. Using the electrical components, he began to attack Entity 01, proving that Lucas' research was correct. After many failed counterattacks from the beast, Entity 01 was completely defeated by Wario, restoring the living world to normal.
		- After the battle, Wario noticed a letter in the factory mailbox, which was written by Bruno, apologizing for what he was about to do, referring to summoning the beast. Afterward, he remarks that although the factory wasn't earning great profits (most likely due to Entity 01's presence disrupting the economy as a whole) they should continue to stay true to the vision. Whatever happens, happens.
