Henry woke up William in his workshop. "Hey uh, Afton," Henry said, "We're closing the restaurant tomorrow."

William sat up quickly. "Wait, why?"

"A customer complained about some interesting smells coming from the extra Freddy we had to use," Henry explained. "We could just use the backup-backup Freddy, but sanitizing is a much better idea than taking the easy way out, right? The cleaning company won't touch any of the animatronics, but they will take care of the stage and the Parts & Service room. Gotta keep the guests happy."

William scratched his head and laid back down again.

"C'mon Will, this is the perfect time for us to work on setting up the decorations," Henry pleaded as he repeatedly poked William with his finger.

William groaned, "I did it all last time. You'll be fine. Just don't mix the whites with the coloreds in the wash..."

Henry looked at him quizzically, shrugged, then left to go set up the pizzeria.

After about thirty minutes, William sat up again and pulled his notepad from under his pillow. He marked out the number 2 and started flipping through his child catalog.

*****

William already had this day planned in case something were to go wrong.

The party for that day was for two boys named Fritz and Jeremy. The two boys had the same birthday and were inseparable friends. This would make attracting the two easier to handle since they wouldn't do anything without each other while at the party.

As the guests started arriving, Afton immediately pulls the two boys away.

"Where are you taking us mister?" Fritz asked tentatively as they started moving towards the Parts & Service room. Jeremy was especially nervous as William opened the door, shoved the two in, and locked the door.

"The birthday people get to play...." William said as he looked at the two remaining mascots, "...dress-up! There are stilts inside of the suits so that you can fit! I locked the door so that jealous kids can't try to get a turn. This is your birthday after all!"

Jeremy immediately ran up to the Bonnie mascot. Fritz chose the Foxy mascot.

William exclaimed, "What excellent choices! Let me get them prepared for you." William started digging around in the endoskeletons and engaged all of the sharper components to make the next process easier for him. He also removed the duct tape from his belt and taped the kid's mouths with it.

Fritz and Jeremy looked at each other and shrugged before having Afton lead them up to the mascots. William picked up Jeremy first and shoved him down into the Bonnie suit. His muffled screams could barely be heard as he cried out in pain from the edges protruding from the endoskeleton.

Before long, Jeremy was up to his head inside the suit, twitching erratically. Fritz tried to run, but the door was locked and he too faced the same fate as his best friend inside of the Foxy suit. William began wiping his hands off with a rag before replacing the mascot heads and strolling out of the room.

The party continued without the guests of honor for 3 hours before anyone realized they were missing.

*****

William decided to retrieve the four bodies on the sanitizing day. The cleaning company would start at noon and finish at around 5 pm. This gave William enough time to plan how he was going to get the four kids.

Henry then waltzed into his workshop and tapped him on the shoulder. William wheeled around.

"Afton, today's the day!" Henry exclaimed. "We can get started on that Fredbear & Friends show to help your UK market. I think it's gonna be a super good opportunity for you and the company. What do you say?"

William took a look at the clock. 8:00 am. He shrugged, "Sure, why not?"

Henry pulled out a notepad and began scribbling down a few notes. He also had some pre-drawn models of the characters. "What do you think of these Afton?"

Afton stared at the designs meticulously. He kept staring. Henry tapped his foot impatiently.

After about 5 minutes, he said, "I think those are perfect!" Henry grinned happily as William spoke again, "....if we're going for an aesthetic look. We need more colors, more excitement, more style! These are good for a start, but I need more Henry!"

Henry's mood and demeanor dampened as he shuffled out of the room.

Wilson was eyeing the mascots in Parts & Service after Jeremy's and Fritz's party.

They were still doing that twitching thing. And their eyes were lit up now.

He considered going down there to check it out, but he decided against it so that he wouldn't get hurt by any moving parts.

But it was weird that they were acting this way now and not before. Wilson would have to talk to Afton about them being defective.

Just then, the camera feed went out. Wilson began attempting to click a few camera controls before deciding against his better judgment to travel down to the Parts & Service room to check things out.

When Wilson made his way down there, he ran into Afton on his way out from the room. He was carrying two trash bags.

Wilson poked at the bags. "Whatcha got there Afton?" The contents of the bags felt soft.

"It's a big lot of felt, Wilson. I left a bunch of extras in the room, and I'm taking them home with me," William explained whilst shaking a bit. He then made his way to the back door of the pizzeria.

"Night, Wilson!" Afton said as he left the building. Wilson turned towards the broken camera. There was duct tape over it as if William had covered the camera on purpose. What is he hiding? Wilson asked himself as he returned to the office.

*****

William sanitized the welding table and laid all four children on top of it.

He then carved open openings within their torsos and placed a bar of iron within them.

He then chanted the shaman's spell in the back of the children's book from so long ago.

"Invocabo viribus inferius. Adducere ad vivos mortuos essentia. Vim inferunt Sacris indigemus omnibus potentiis. Sinit haec res vires largiri opes ut supra intellectum humanum. Veni!"

The bars began to radiate with color and brought upon a faint blue hue to the pieces of iron.

William smirked as he brought the four ingots to his forge to melt them down and collect their power.

As the iron melted, he stuffed the bodies back into the bags and threw them into the building garbage for disposal. When he came back inside, the magical liquid was already collecting in a funnel that he created for the condensation of energy.

He picked up the vial and almost dropped it in surprise.

Why is it so hot? he thought to himself as he began to drink it slowly. It burned as it went down, like hot food mixed with alcohol. Afton immediately felt an adrenaline rush as he ran to the mirror and looked at his reflection. He began to de-age slightly to about 2 years younger. Then the adrenaline stopped.

His anger rose as he threw the vial and smashed it against the wall. "Damnit! I wasn't looking for a stupid 'fountain of youth' potion!" He started yelling at himself in the mirror when he paused and stared at himself intensely.

"Maybe the final child will grant me what I need," he reasoned with himself.

He then walked home before laying in bed, satisfied with his plan.

*****

Freddy's head began to turn towards the camera as Wilson watched them twitch about.

Bonnie's head followed. Then Chica's and Foxy's. Wilson's heart began to race as their eyes stared at him through the camera, almost as though they were staring straight into his soul.
