## Plot

### Epilogue #1

A large crew of workers are tasked with emptying out an old Freddy's restaurant and beginning construction for Freddy Fazbear's Mega Pizzaplex. The plan was to remodel the old place into a museum directly above the Pizzaplex. While construction workers began building up the Pizzaplex's exterior framing, the renovation crew were tasked with emptying out the pizzeria. One of those reno team members was Gil, who wanted to be a part of the company's tech team, only to be shunted with everyone else in excavation. Gil was partnered up with Danny, as they grabbed the animatronic endoskeletons strewn throughout the abandoned restaurant and put them into a pile.

Theo and Bryce see a delivery truck pulling up to the site. The new animatronics for the pizzeria were being delivered. After signing the paperwork, the two checked up on the new arrivals. While all the other animatronics were in mint condition, one of them (the guitarist) was broken and discolored, with its rabbit ears being the only distinguishable feature remaining. Gil, while on break, noticed the damaged robot and took interest in it. He snuck into the back of the truck to take the dismantled model. Theo notices, but Gil gives him an angry glare, intimidating him into silence.

Carlo noticed Gil tinkering with the animatronic and asked what he was up to. He simply promised that what he was doing would help them get the endoskeletons out of the pizzeria. Gil decides to show off his programming expertise, linking the systems with his laptop in an attempt to add a "clean-up protocol" into its code. Danny, Carlo, and another worker named Owen arrive to see Gil's work. As Gil turns the animatronic on, its white eyes turned orange as the robot flatly requested instructions.

Gil tasked the machine with breaking off the heads and limbs of all the endoskeletons and throwing them into a pile. After briefly scanning the area, the animatronic complies. It breaks the heads and arms of the endoskeletons with ease. As Gil congratulates himself on his work, the animatronic grabs onto him and breaks his arms off. Pools of blood splatter all over as Gil screamed in agony, only to be silenced as the robot ripped his head from his shoulders. The animatronic was set on breaking the limbs and heads of anyone it saw. All the other workers in the building ran for their lives to the only exit, but are blocked by other workers entering into the building after hearing Gil's screams.

A bloodbath ensued. The robot tore apart the workers, with blood and sliced-off limbs flowing everywhere. The only person to come out unscathed was Danny as he ran past the construction site, pleading for a construction worker on a cement truck to seal off the old pizzeria's only exit.

### Epilogue #2

A group of high schoolers are attending a local carnival. Lucia and Jayce are going on a double date with Adrian and Hope. Lucia is overloaded by the amount of noises and flashy lights, but chooses to go on the date to support her close friends. Despite dating Jayce, Lucia has lingering feelings towards Adrian that she wants to repress. Hope's childhood best friend Kelly is also there on her own date with Nick. Two guys named Joel and Wade are trying to intercept the double date because of their crush towards Hope, despite already being in a relationship.

The group gets together and starts discussing the construction of the Pizzaplex. While everyone else is excited, Lucia and Nick are apprehensive, having heard of the incident at the old pizzeria the new Pizzaplex was being built over. Joel had observed the construction site a couple times, seeing that the new animatronics were already delivered to the premises. Fueled by curiosity, the group decides to investigate.

They notice that the entrance has been sealed up with concrete, but there is a vent opening in the roof that they can go through. They land in the storage room and go out into the main area. Endoskeletons laid all over the place, along with the growing presence of an odd stench. Everyone looked down and discover eleven dead workers, decapitated and disarmed.

Terrified, the group tries to escape, only to find out the chute they came in from has been crushed. With every other door or window sealed shut with cement, everyone will have to wait for the construction crew to return. Suddenly, the group hears the sound of metallic footsteps coming towards them. They barricade themselves into the storage room, now knowing that they aren't alone.

### Epilogue #3

The animatronic continued making its way down the hall, stopping right at the door of the storage room. Everyone tried to remain as still as possible. The light in the room started to flicker. The animatronic moved away from the room. Adrian opens the door and the group slowly move out. Lucia looks back at the room to see that the light wasn't flickering anymore. She wondered if the animatronic was controlling the lights to startle everyone out of hiding. The group start planning on how they can escape the pizzeria.

Adrian proposes that everyone split up into pairs and search for potential exits. Jayce had brought a portable drawing tablet with him, which the group uses it to map out the pizzeria and choose which rooms each pair will search. Adrian and Jayce search the dining, arcade, lobby and party rooms. Joel and Wade search the employee's lounge, storage closet and furnace room. Hope and Nick search the stage/backstage and kitchen. Lucia and Kelly search around the main entrance, office and the bathrooms.

Lucia and Kelly look around their designated spots, seeing posters of first-gen Freddy, Bonnie, Chica and Foxy. Wade finds a vent in the employee's lounge and tries to unscrew it while Joel keeps watch. Joel repeatedly makes noise, annoying Wade. The two hear a screeching noise. Assuming it's Joel, Wade turns around only to see him staring wide-eyed. Joel didn't make that noise. The screeching noise starts back up, as the duo realize that it's metal scraping against a wall. Joel and Wade quickly sneak out of the room.

Hope and Nick are about to go behind the stage, but are stopped when they hear a slamming sound from one of the party rooms. The two assume its just Adrian and Jayce searching and continue backstage. The lights start flickering, and they see three costume wardrobes. Nick made his way to the wardrobes, but Hope stayed back, feeling like they were being watched. Whoever was watching was nearby. Despite both of them being scared, Nick comforts Hope as they both go open the closets. One of the cabinet doors opened by itself, revealing spare costumes of the animatronic characters. Nick noticed that the wardrobe went deeper. Hope's paranoid feeling resurfaced. She tries to warn Nick, only for him to be grabbed by an unseen force into the closet.

Hope tries to go after him, as Nick is suddenly shot back out and onto the ground. His arm was gone. Metallic hands shot out of the closet and strangled Nick. The animatronic, with its black endoskeleton eyes glowing white, decapitated Nick. It held Nick's head in front of Hope, taunting her. It lets Nick's head go and roll on the ground. Hope runs away in terror.

Lucia and Kelly find a vent in the office, only for it to be covered by the concrete. They make note of it as a potential exit and head back to regroup. Lucia and Kelly hear Hope's screams. Hope tells everyone to run, despite nothing chasing after her. Lucia wonders where Nick is, as Hope fell to the floor and screamed. She tells everyone about that Nick was dead. As the group processes the news, a grinding sound echoed through the pizzeria. No one can pinpoint where it came from.

Lucia tells everyone to head to Parts and Service, which had metal parts that could be used as weapons. Everyone huddled in as the light in the room flickered. They turned and saw several empty animatronic suits. Hope explains what had happened leading up to Nick's death, as well as the animatronic itself. It was a skeleton-like figure with big eyes, big teeth and was covered in dry blood. Lucia realized something. If there were empty animatronic suits, and the robot chasing them was a bare endoskeleton, the endo could easily slip into one of the suits. She saw an critter in green overalls, an orange cat and two dogs. One of the dogs moved and grabbed onto Hope's bicep as the light went out. The animatronic, now in a dog disguise, ripped off Hope's arms, legs and head. Horrified, everyone else scattered to escape.
