The Final Plan

***The Final Plan*** is the eleventh and final episode of the second season of *Five nights at Freddy's - The Stories*.

## Plot

In the season finale, which is the longest episode in the series at 35 minutes, Golden Freddy and Spring Bonnie put their next plan into action and vanish from the Parts & Service room just as the Puppet and the old animatronics set out to try and finish things once and for all on their own. Seeing that their enemies are now mysteriously absent, they back off for the time being and resort to their original schedule for the next night, with them all combining forces to take out the new night guard. While they are moving about all throughout the building, Golden Freddy and Spring Bonnie go through the box in which the Puppet resides in and steal the endoskeleton (which originally belonged to Spring Bonnie) hidden inside, returning to the Parts & Service room so that Spring Bonnie can regain his original form. However, it's revealed that this is not the actual plan that Golden Freddy had in mind; with visible sorrow, he instead seals Spring Bonnie inside the empty exoskeleton- who vehemently vows vengeance against him just before he is trapped- and breaks apart the endoskeleton to receive his power (as can be inferred, since this isn't properly explained by Zajcu), finally becoming strong enough to take on the Puppet's entire crew.

While Golden Freddy prepares for his last attack, Toy Freddy ends up stumbling upon the Puppet while he is discussing the subject matter of the Toy animatronics with Freddy. Having been asked why the Toy animatronics were given life in the first place, the Puppet reveals to Freddy that they were made so that they could later sacrifice themselves in order to save the old crew, causing Toy Freddy to become angered that he and his friends had been left in the dark and isolate himself from the others so he can contemplate the discovery more carefully. Freddy who heard the conversation was very upset and worried. He went toward the hallway when suddenly he noticed Toy Chica, with an extremely damaged suit, standing next to the bathrooms. To his left, he saw the normal Toy Chica playing in the arcades He assumed that the damaged Toy Chica was just another hallucination, and when he looked away, she got tackled by Plushtrap into the bathroom and disappeared.

Toy Chica uses her time to bond in a more friendly manner with Chica and a more affectionate manner with Bonnie, attempting to kindle something between him and herself, but is unable to do so when the latter responds by telling her that someone like him could never be with someone like her. The two simply rest with one another in the end while Foxy and Mangle look on from outside with unspoken support, and soon afterward, Golden Freddy finally comes out of hiding.

First incapacitating the night guard so he can't interfere with his task, Golden Freddy then lures the entire team into an empty room while the Puppet is out on his own to investigate what's happening, trapping them inside with some of the arcade machines using his new-found powers so they won't get in his way while he goes to deal with the Puppet first.

Pleading for Golden Freddy to join with him and not start any violence, the Puppet is eventually forced to fight with him when he remains defiant and insists that he will finally have his vengeance for being wronged, having become completely misguided by his desire to avenge his friend. After a long fight between the two, Golden Freddy manages to overpower the Puppet and disable him entirely, the crew having broken out of their own predicament far too late to save him. Seeking to then take his hatred out on the old animatronics, many of the Toy animatronics intervene in a powerful final attack from Golden Freddy and fulfill the Puppet's prophecy, being killed and thus saving the old crew while Mangle goes to murder the earlier knocked-out night guard under Shadow Freddy's control. She becomes disabled shortly afterward, along with every other animatronic that is still alive once the 6 A.M. bell chimes.

Years later, with the second pizzeria being shut down, the old animatronics wake up at the third Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria (the location from the first game), confused by their updated appearances and eventually coming to the conclusion that they had been moved to another location. Foxy's immediate instinct is to find out what happened to Mangle, and after being told by the others what had happened to her, he breaks out into a fit of anguish that awakens Golden Freddy, who also becomes curious about his surroundings. While he discovers that Spring Bonnie's body has been moved to the new location and finds the salvaged parts of the Toy animatronics, the other characters spend their time grieving over the loss of their friends, Foxy and Bonnie being the most distraught.

Overcome with regret and looking to atone for his mistakes, Golden Freddy confronts the old characters and apologizes for what he had done, explaining the motivations for his aggressive actions back in the last location: having been best friends with Spring Bonnie back at Fredbear's Family Diner, he became resentful when the two of them were put out of business in favor of the old characters, for the sake of more diversity and to revive a dying business. Both of them were stripped for parts after being brought to the first Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria established after the closure of the diner, but Spring Bonnie had suffered the worst of it, having his entire endoskeleton removed and no longer being able to function as a regular animatronic. When everyone was moved again to the second pizzeria after Golden Freddy killed the first one's mechanic, he was consumed by grief after finding he was only able to bring his friend back in the form of a ghost, immensely saddened by his loss and looking to find redemption for him by any means necessary.

Becoming understanding of what he had done, the old crew forgives Golden Freddy, who then uses what power he has to bring the Puppet back to life. When he sees what's left of the Toy animatronics after also forgiving Golden Freddy, he sets out to work and repairs all of their friends, allowing both Foxy and Mangle and Bonnie and Toy Chica to reunite at long last. Stage positions for the Toy animatronics and a new resting place for the Puppet are made later on while Bonnie notes to himself that the next day will be his birthday, beginning the events of Season 1 that bridge the gap between Seasons 2 and 3.
