He quickly unlocked the door and opened it to let Blank and the others in. Candy ran to the living room and laid Cindy down on the couch. "Cindy! Oh my god, what happened?!" Mary shouted. "There's no time to waste! We've got to stop the bleeding!" Candy shouted. Mary nodded and ran upstairs.

"What happened?!" Sara asked, concerned.

Mike noticed a bleeding wound on Candy's arm. "What the hell happened?!" He asked. "T-The Thing... He attacked Cindy..." Candy shakily said.

Sara's eyes widened. "What?!" She asked.

Mike's eyes were widened as well. "But I thought he was dead!" He said.

"I thought he was dead too! Looks like he healed himself somehow..." Sara said.

Mike nodded. Then, Mary came back with the first aid kit. "I'm back! Let me see." She said, kneeling down next to Cindy. Cindy removed her hand from the wound and saw that she had a stab wound. It was bleeding heavily. "Oh my god..." Mary whispered before she opened the kit and got some bandages while Candy applied pressure to the wound.

"I can't believe this happened..." Sara said.

"Oh god, Cindy, please be okay..." Mary thought as she wrapped the bandages around Cindy's wound.

Sara was shaking a little.

Mike hugged her in an attempt to comfort her.

Sara hugged back, continuing to shake.

Mike started to rub her back. "Shh... It's okay... It's okay... Cindy will be okay." He whispered.

Sara buried her face in Mike's shoulder.

Mike continued to rub her back as he heard the police sirens in the distance. "They're here..." He thought.

Sara looked at the front door.

Clay rushed through the door along with three other officers. The first one had short black hair and brown eyes. The second one had golden blonde hair like Kevin's and blue eyes. The third one had a dark mullet and black eyes. He had sunglasses on his head.

"Clay, thank god you made it!" Sara said, but she also noticed the other three officers.

Clay noticed Cindy on the couch. "Cindy!" He shouted as he ran to her. Vincent watched as the three officers ran upstairs.

Puppet followed the three officers.

When she got to Mike's room, the three officers were taking a look at Vincent's profile and trying to track down who sent his information.

Puppet flew beside one of the officers, looking the computer as her arms were crossed.

"Alright, Eric, you found anything?" The blonde man asked the ravenette. He nodded. "Yes. It appears that the person that sent Simmons' information is Alisha Tenna. She is one of the members of a fan club centered around Aiden Jackson. Apparently, she hacked into all of his accounts and got his personal information to post on Facebook." Eric explained.

"You've gotta arrest her." Puppet said.

The officer with the mullet jumped at her voice. "Whoa, dude, w-what are you doing here? T-This is a crime scene!" He said to Puppet. "Guy, it's okay. Clay knows her pretty well." Eric said to Guy. He turned to Puppet. "So, you must be Puppet." He said, crossing his arms.

"Yes, I am. I'm not here to hurt you guys. I'm just helping Vincent." Puppet said.

Guy turned to Eric. "Dude, are you sure we can trust this girl?" He asked. "I'm sure, Guy. If she was suspicious, I would've known right away." Eric said.

Puppet looked back at the computer. "Hm...." She said.

"So... Do you know anything about why Mrs. Tenna would post Vincent's personal information?" The blonde asked.

"Well, in this Aiden fanclub they made, if someone doesn't do the right thing in the club. The members send hateful messages, put trash in their mailbox, and dox people's information." Puppet explained.

Eric's eyes widened. "Dude, that's messed up!" Guy exclaimed. "I see..." The blonde man said.

"It is messed up. They even cut strands of Vincent and Scott's hair at the mall." Puppet said.

Guy covered his mouth. "Jesus..." He muttered.

"I know..." Puppet said.

"Well, Clay actually talked to me and Chuck about it. The mall that you guys went to has video footage of the girls in the act. We're trying to track them down as we speak." Eric said. "Man, why don't I get to do the cool stuff with you guys?" Guy asked. "Cause you don't even know how security tapes work." Chuck replied to Guy.

"I see." Puppet said.

"Anyways, Is Mr Simmons here? I want to talk to him." Eric asked her.

Puppet nodded. "He's downstairs." She said.

Eric nodded and went downstairs with Chuck and Guy. He saw Vincent next to Cindy, who was breathing normally. Her stomach was bandaged up, but there was still blood stained on the bandages. Eric took a deep breath. "Hey. Mr. Simmons? Can I talk to you?" Vincent looked at the police officer. "Of course. What do you want to talk to me about?" He asked. "Well, can we talk in private?" Eric asked, looking at the kitchen. Vincent looked at Cindy, then back to Eric and slowly nodded. Eric led Vincent to the kitchen and sat down on one of the chairs. "So, Vincent, I want to talk to you about a few things. Do you mind if I ask them?" Eric asked. Vincent nodded. "Go ahead." He said. "Okay... So, have those fangirls bullied you before this?" Eric asked. Vincent nodded. "Yes. I found a picture in my mailbox with my face scribbled out. The girls came up to me and told me that I was an eyesore and a backstabber and they told me that I broke some sort of promise. I didn't understand what they meant at first, but now that I heard what they do to people when they break the rules, I understand now." Vincent explained. "W-Whoa... Vincent, I-I'm so sorry. It must've been such a shock to you." Eric said. "Yeah. It was." Vincent said.

Puppet flew over to Vincent and hugged him.

Vincent hugged back. Eric held Vincent's hand in a comforting manner. He couldn't believe that Vincent had to go through the fangirls' abuse. If he was in Vincent's shoes, he probably wouldn't have survived.

"So, what're we gonna do about these fangirls?" Sara asked.

"Well, there is something you guys can do. When we get the girls, we'll put them in custody. But, since they're underage, they can't be held legally for too long, but once Vincent is feeling better, he'll be able to stand trial and they'll probably go away for a while. I don't know if he'll be up for that, but if he does stand trial, they'll be eligible for jail time." Eric said.

"Alright.." Sara said.

Vincent looked at Eric. He wasn't quite sure if he would be ready for this, but as long as he had his friends, everything will be okay. Then, he saw a figure standing at the window. It took him a second to notice that it was The Thing. He raised his arm and that's when Eric saw it. "Vincent, watch out!" He shouted as he pushed Vincent out of the way. At that moment, an invisible force hit Eric in the chest as he slammed through the wall and slammed against the household items. "ERIC!!!" Chuck shouted as his body slumped to the floor. He ran over to him and shook to try to get a response. Eric didn't move. He put his two fingers on Eric's neck, desperately trying to look for a pulse. He felt nothing. "Oh, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit!!" He started to panic.

https://youtu.be/kUMirWsqmcw

Sara glared at The Thing as strings came out of her finger tips.

Chuck picked Eric up and ran back to the kitchen. "Clear a table, stat!" He commanded. Vincent nodded and cleared all the stuff off the table. Chuck laid Eric down on the table and started pressing on his chest. The Thing looked at Puppet and smirked.

Sara glared at The Thing as a purple aura began to surround her. Her eyes black with white pupils.

Candy ran outside too. His brown eyes were glowing and he was hissing.

Sara growled at The Thing.

"How many times do we have to tell you this? LEAVE VINCENT AND THE OTHERS ALONE!" Candy shouted.

Sara continued to glare at The Thing. Her eyes now turning black with red pupils.

Chester, Blank and Penguin came outside as well.

"Ready everyone?" Sara asked.

Everyone nodded.

Sara glared at The Thing. "Let's do this..." And with that, she charged at The Thing.

Chester pulled out his guns and started to shoot at The Thing. The Thing dodged and grabbed Sara's throat.

Sara winced. But, she knee kicked The Thing's chin.

The Thing flinched and let go of Sara's neck. He rubbed his chin while Chester and Blank pointed their weapons at him.

Sara stabbed The Thing's ankle with the strings.

The Thing flinched as he tried to grab the two by the neck, but Penguin rested the blade of his weapon on his throat.

Sara death glared at The Thing.

The Thing glared back at Sara. "We've said it before and we'll say it again. Don't hurt Vincent and the others again or else you're gonna get it!" Chester growled.

"Yeah! Don't ever hurt Vincent and the others again!" Sara growled.

The Thing looked down and nodded.

"Good..." Sara said. Her strings now gone as her eyes turned normal.

The Thing stumbled to his feet and walked away. "This isn't over yet..." He muttered before he disappeared.

Sara rolled her eyes.

"I swear, this guy is becoming really annoying." Candy muttered. "Here. We should treat your arm." Chester said as he gently took Candy's arm.

Sara nodded.

The others walked back inside the house where Chuck was rubbing Eric's back as he took deep breaths. "So, he's okay?" Chester asked. Chuck nodded.

Sara touched the side of her neck. Her neck had red marks. A lot of them.

Chuck and Eric noticed. "A-Are you okay?!" The blonde man asked.

"Yes, I'm fine. These are just marks from when The Thing attacked us before..." Sara replied.

"Y-You should get some rest. You shouldn't overstrain yourself." Candy said.

"Alright..." Sara said.

Candy and Chester led her upstairs and laid her down on the bed.

Sara rested her head on the pillow as she closed her eyes.

"Why... Why can't The Thing just leave us alone?" Chester thought.

Sara could've sworn she felt tears fall from her face as she slept.

Candy noticed and wiped the tears from her eyes.

Sara snuggled her head on the pillow.

Candy held her hand. Chester looked at the door as the others came into the room. "Is Cindy okay?" He asked. Hanry nodded and looked at Cindy who is leaning on Mary's shoulder.

"Cindy, are you okay?" Puppet asked.

Cindy nodded.

Puppet sighed in relief. "Thank goodness..." She said.

Penguin looked out the window. "What are we going to do? The Thing won't leave us alone no matter what happens." He said.

"We fight. If The Thing keeps coming back. We keep fighting. We have to stay strong for Vincent, Springtrap, and Nightmare. We can't let them die on us, no matter what. We must keep fighting for them." Puppet said, she had a serious look on her face.

"Puppet's right. We have to stay strong for our friends. We'll make sure that fucker doesn't lay on Vincent, Springtrap and Nightmare." Mike said as he and the others walked into the room. "But... Sooner or later, The Thing will kill one of us. Then, what do we do?" Penguin asked. "But, we have Puppet with us. If we're injured, she can heal us." Hanry said.

Puppet nodded. "And Sara is the reincarnation of me. Which means. Sara can attack, and I can heal." She said.

"But, what if... What if something happens to me and Puppet won't be able to heal me?" Vincent asked. "Vincent, don't think like that! We'll all protect you from The Thing. Besides, we made a promise when we were kids, right? We all promised, on that hill we used to go to, that we will protect each other no matter what. We won't let anything stand in our way." Mike said as he extended his hand. The others put their hands on top of Mike's hand. "Vince?" Kevin said as he looked at the brunette. Vincent nodded and put his hand on top of Kevin's hand. At that moment, he recalled a memory. Them making a promise on top of the little hill, in the evening sunset.

"It's a promise, right? We'll all protect each other no matter what and we won't let anything stand in the way of our friendship. We'll all be friends forever and when we die, we'll all meet together in heaven. Does that sound good?

"Yeah!"

"Okay, everyone. On three. One... Two... Three!"

"Best friends forever!"

"Best friends forever..." Vincent muttered. He let a few tears fall from his eyes. "Vincent? Are you okay? D-Did you remember something?" Scott asked. "I... I remember... our promise..." Vincent answered.

"A promise?" Puppet asked.

"Yeah. Me, Scott, Mike, Jeremy, Fritz, Kevin and Anthony made a promise when we were kids. We promised that we'll protect each other no matter what and we'll let nothing stand in the way of our friendship. And... If we die, we'll all meet together in heaven." Vincent replied.

"I see..." Puppet said.

"Yeah. Kind of a dark promise if you ask me." Vincent said. "No. I think it's a really amazing promise. For you guys to promise that as kids and still keep it to this day... You guys are really great friends." Cindy said.

Puppet nodded in agreement.

Vincent smiled. He looked at the others. "I'm sorry I forgot our promise." He said. "It's alright, dude. It wasn't your fault. Besides, we're not gonna leave you just because you forgot. We'll all here for you no matter what." Anthony said.

Puppet nodded.

Vincent smiled and hugged the others.

Puppet smiled and hugged back.

Scott and the others hugged back.

Nightmare was watching the whole thing and smiled.

Puppet looked at Nightmare and smiled warmly at him.

Nightmare smiled back. "Vincent's very lucky to have really great friends." He said.

Puppet nodded. "Indeed." She said, smiling with her eyes closed.

Vincent looked at Nightmare. "Nightmare? Do you wanna join in?" He asked. Nightmare was surprised, but he nodded and hugged them.

Puppet smiled warmly.

Nightmare looked down. He... He was afraid of telling everyone what The Thing told him.

Puppet noticed. "Nightmare? What's wrong?" She asked.

"Huh? Oh, nothing's wrong. I'm fine." He said.

"You don't look fine. It looks like you're afraid of something." Puppet said.

Nightmare shakily sighed. "W-Well... The Thing talked to me in my mind. H-He told me that the only way that he can leave Vincent alone... is for me to fight him." He said, his voice almost cracking.

Puppet's eyes began to widen. "W-What?" She asked.

https://youtu.be/9FLktqfTiXA

Nightmare shakily nodded. "H-He told me it's the only way for Vincent to live. If I die, all the bad things in the world will stop happening to Vincent. I want you to live. I want Vincent to live a happy life with all of his friends. Nothing more than that. I don't even care if I die anymore." He said. "No! Nightmare, don't say that! We'll all save you! I'll make sure that you and I both live!" Vincent said. Nightmare sighed. "Thanks for trying to cheer me up, but I might as well give up." He said. "Nightmare! You can't give up! You have to keep fighting! We'll all survive till August 31st!" Vincent said, grabbing Nightmare's hand.

"Vincent is right, we can't lose you Nightmare. We'll save all of you!" Puppet said.

Nightmare looked down. "You know... When you guys say things like that... It makes me really happy." He said, a small smile crept up on his face. "But... I have to do this alone. He said that if any one of you guys come with me, he won't hesitate to kill you." He said. "Well, we're not just gonna sit here and let you fight The Thing and possibly get killed!" Marylin said.

"Nightmare... We're not going to let you get killed...!" Puppet said.

"Yeah! Let us come with you! We're not gonna let you go alone!" Mary said.

Puppet nodded.

"But... You guys... You don't understand! I have to go alone or else-" "Or else what? You think we could just stay here and let you get killed?! No! There's no way we're gonna let that happen! We're staying by your side whether you like it or not!" Mike shouted. Nightmare clenched his fist and looked at them with an angry look in his eyes. "You know what? Fine! I'll tell you the real reason why you can't go! The Thing has set up a trap for you guys! He's already put all the nightmare animatronics under his control, so if you guys go there, they'll trap you guys and you'll have no choice but to sit there and watch while The Thing and I fight to the death! He told me not to tell you guys this, but you guys just pinched my last nerve! So, I'll tell you guys this! Stay here and don't do anything until I defeat him! I have to go alone! I have to keep you guys safe so you wouldn't fall into his trap! Do you want to be forced to watch me get killed by The Thing while being powerless to do anything? Do you?!" He shouted.

Puppet's eyes widened in shock.

"W-What...?" Vincent's eyes were widened along with everyone else's. "I-I'm sorry! I-I didn't want to tell you guys, but..." A choked sob escaped from Nightmare's mouth.

Puppet hugged Nightmare.

Vincent hugged Nightmare too. Nightmare hugged back and started to cry.

Puppet rubbed Nightmare's back in a motherly-way.

Nightmare continued to sob as Puppet and Vincent continued to rub his back. Nightmare looked at the two of them, his ruby eyes sparkling with tears.

Puppet kissed Nightmare's forehead.

Nightmare blushed a little and he looked at Vincent. He could still smell Vincent's aroma and he blushed more. "Thank you, guys." He said. "You're welcome, Nightmare." Vincent said, smiling. Nightmare pulled away from the hug. "Well, I guess it's time to go now. I'll call you guys if anything happens." He said. He started to walk to the door, but Vincent grabbed his hand. "No... I'm not letting you go alone..." He said. "I have to, Vince. If you and your friends come, your friends will get caught in The Thing's trap and The Thing might kill you." Nightmare said. "If it means that you'll be safe, I'm perfectly fine with it. Besides, I'm stronger than I look." Vincent said. "But... Vincent... you're just a human... How can you say that you're... stronger than you look?" Nightmare asked. "Listen, I know you might not believe this, but... At the carnival... I have this purple aura that would surround me... I suddenly have this urge to kill... My mind is focused on this one person who I wanted to kill..." Vincent explained.

Puppet looked at Vincent. "So, that's why that purple aura surrounded you. You have some kind of power hidden in you..." She said.

Vincent looked at his hands. "Yeah. Although... It might be impossible to control it. It's like being on autopilot. It would be impossible for me to break out of it. But, if my mind is strong enough... I might control it." He said. "Vincent, that is a very nice to say, but it's too dangerous for you. Your memories still haven't returned and... I think it would be best if you stay here." Nightmare said. "But..." Vincent started to say, but Nightmare shushed him. "It's okay. You have Scott and Aiden. They'll protect you." He said.

Puppet nodded.

"Well... If I don't come back... There's one thing I want to do. I-I've been thinking about this for a long while and I think maybe now would be a good time." Nightmare said, his cheeks turning red. Vincent immediately got what Nightmare was saying. "Nightmare... You love me?" He asked. Nightmare looked at Vincent. He was surprised that he got that, but he slowly nodded. "W-Wow... Nightmare... That's really sweet of you to say, but..." Vincent looked away. He didn't want to cheat on Scott and Aiden.

Puppet looked at them.

"I-I know... You love Scott and Aiden. You don't have any feelings for me. After what I did to you in the past, it would make sense why you don't love me." He said to Vincent.

"Nightmare..." Puppet said.

"But, I, at least, want to do this just in case I won't come back. I hope they... don't mind." Nightmare said, looking at Scott and Aiden.

Puppet flew over to Scott and Aiden. Her face was now saying. 'You don't mind if Nightmare... You know...'

Scott nodded and looked at Aiden. Aiden looked reluctant, but he nodded. Nightmare looked at Vincent and moved his face closer to his. He closed his eyes he pressed his lips against Vincent's lips.

Puppet smiled a little at them.

Vincent's eyes were widened. His heart was racing and a million thoughts were rushing through his head. He never thought that Nightmare would love a person like him. Nightmare slowly pulled away and looked into Vincent's eyes. "I-I'm sorry... I just wanted to do that just in case I never see you again." He said. "No, it's fine." Vincent said, smiling a little.

Puppet smiled at them. Sara shivered a little and opened her eyes. She sat up from the bed and yawned. "Morning already?" She asked. Puppet giggled.

Nightmare looked out the window and saw the rising sun.

"Nightmare, are you sure you want to fight The Thing?" Puppet asked.

Nightmare nodded. "But, we can help you fight him. Get the nightmare animatronics out of his control." Jeremy said.

Puppet nodded.

"But, this is way too dangerous. I have to do this alone. After all... This is what I get for doing so many cruel things to all of you." Nightmare said. "We forgive you, Nightmare. Even if you did do wrong, we all forgive you." Vincent said.

Puppet nodded. "Vincent is right. We all forgive you, Nightmare." Sara said.

Nightmare looked down. "Hey... It's alright. We'll all help you fight The Thing and make sure he doesn't bother us again." Mike said, putting his hand on his shoulder.

Sara nodded.

Nightmare tried to say something, but he just stayed quiet.

Puppet flew over to Nightmare and hugged him.

Nightmare hugged back.

"You can cry on my shoulder if you want..." Puppet said.

Nightmare buried his face in her shoulder and cried.

Puppet rubbed Nightmare's back. "Shh... It's okay.... It's okay.... I'm here...." She said in a comforting voice.

Nightmare continued to sob, but after a while, he calmed down.

"Feeling better?" Puppet asked.

Nightmare nodded.

Puppet smiled. "That's good." She said.

Nightmare smiled back. "So, do you think we should go?" Anthony asked, looking at the clock.

Sara nodded.

Vincent took a deep breath. He was really nervous.

"Don't worry, Vincent. We're here for you." Sara said, putting a hand on Vincent's shoulder.

Vincent looked at Sara and smiled a little.

Sara smiled back warmly.

"It's alright, Vince. We'll all survive this. Definitely!" Mike said.

Sara nodded.

The others walked downstairs to the front door. Kevin put his hand on the doorknob. "Alright. Let's do this!" He thought as he opened the door and the others walked outside.

August 22nd

"Boy, it's really sunny out here." Sara said.

"Hehe. Yeah. It sure is." Mike said. "Now, if you're wondering where The Thing is... He's at the other side of town. It'll probably take a whole day to get here." Nightmare said.

"You just be careful, okay?" Puppet asked.

Nightmare nodded.

Puppet nodded back in reply.

And with that, they started their trek to the city.

Sara held Stacey's hand.

Stacey held Sara's hand back.

Sara smiled warmly at Stacey.

Vincent looked up at the sky. His skin started to get hot from the rays of sun shining on him.

"Boy... It's that time of the year, huh?" Sara asked.

"Yep." Mike replied, wiping some sweat off his forehead.

Sara also wiped off some sweat off her forehead as well.

"First it's cold, then it's really hot? The weather sure is weird..." Anthony thought.

"Can we stop by a store to get water? 'Cause I feel like I'm gonna melt over here.." Sara said.

"Sure. I'll tell Nightmare that." Mike said.

"Okay..." Sara said.

"Hey Nightmare. Can we stop by a store? We need some water." Mike said. "Sure. I see a store up ahead." Nightmare said, looking at a store in the distance.

"Okay." Sara said.

A few minutes later, Nightmare and the others arrived at the store. Vincent shivered a bit as the cold breeze of the air conditioner blew against his face, but he was glad that he was out of the heat.

"Thank god, it feels nice getting out of the hot air for once." Sara said.

"Whew... Yeah." Mike said, leaning against the wall.

Sara leaned against the wall next to Mike.

Mike checked the time on his phone. "August 22nd..." He said to himself.

"We're getting really close." Sara said.

Mike nodded. He looked at Vincent who was talking to Scott. He then looked at Nightmare, who was coming back with a water bottle package.

Sara was now looking out the window, looking at the setting sun.

Nightmare couldn't stop his heart beating fast. He really regretted bringing the others with him. He was afraid that The Thing will hurt them.

Puppet noticed and grabbed Nightmare's shoulder. "It's okay, Nightmare. We won't let The Thing hurt them." She said.

Nightmare looked at Sara, uncertain.

"Nightmare, it's okay..." Puppet said.

Nightmare sighed. He was really concerned about the others. The Thing is smarter than they think. He knows that he will pull some trap that could get them killed. "If you think that The Thing is smarter than us, then you are wrong." Mike said.

Sara nodded. "We're smarter than him. And there's no way we're gonna let The Thing beat us." She said.

Everyone else nodded.

"We're gonna beat The Thing, and nothing is gonna stop us." Sara said.

Nightmare slightly smiled. "Hey. Everything's going to be okay." Vincent said.

Sara smiled warmly and nodded.

Nightmare nodded. "Okay. I trust you guys." He said. Vincent smiled and kissed Nightmare's cheek.

Sara smiled warmly at them.

Kevin looked out the sliding automatic doors. He hoped that he could beat The Thing and save Vincent, Springtrap and Nightmare. He felt a warm hand hold his hand and he looked at saw Amy. "Hey..." He said, giving her a small smile.

Sara looked at Amy with a warm smile.

"It's alright, Kevin. Everything will be okay." Amy said.

Puppet nodded.

"WOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!" They heard Mike and Aiden cheering from the aisles. They looked and saw that they were having a shopping cart race.

"Oh my god, you two!" Sara said.

"Guys, be careful! Don't crash into anything!" Vincent said.

Puppet nodded.

"Don't worry. We wo-" Before Mike could finish his sentence, he crashed into a freezer. "Oh god... We're gonna get kicked out..." Scott muttered.

"Yep..." Sara said, face palming.

"Ow..." Mike got up, rubbing his arm.

"Welp." Sara said.

"I won, Aiden!" Mike said. "Nope. You crashed. Therefore, you're disqualified from the race. So, that means I won." Aiden said.

Puppet facepalmed.

"Come on, guys. Put the shopping carts back! Do you want to get kicked out by security?" Scott asked.

Sara crossed her arms.

"Alright. Sorry." Aiden said.

"It's alright, but we gotta do it fast before the security sees us." Sara said.

"On it!" Mike said as he grabbed the shopping carts and started to roll them down the aisle.

Sara too also started to roll the shopping carts down the aisle.

Meanwhile, Scott was panicking in his head. He was hoping that the security guards don't catch them.

Puppet hugged Scott.

Scott hugged back. "I hope the don't see us." He whispered.

"Me too..." Puppet said.

Scott felt someone tap his shoulder. He slowly turned around, worried that it was the security guard, but he saw Vincent holding a loaf of bread in his hands. His face looked really cute. "Hoi." He said in a cute voice. Scott immediately blushed. Vincent looked like a cute kid. "Can I buy these?" He asked.

Sara giggled.

"Sure, you can." Scott said, patting Vincent's head. "Yay! Love you." Vincent said, kissing Scott's cheek.

Sara smiled at them.

Scott chuckled. "The return of the toast man!" Aiden said, smiling. Vincent chuckled and smiled back.

"Oh, Vinny." Scott said.

"You two are so cute." Sara giggled.

"Yep. I agree with Sara. You two are just so cute!" Fritz said. Both Vincent and Scott blushed.

Sara giggled.

"The Toast Man and the Phone Guy... A perfect couple!" Fritz said.

"Yep!" Sara said.

The two men both blushed even more.

Sara smiled warmly.

"Am I the only one who's thinking of Vincent having a toast transformer?" Mike asked.

"You're not the only one." Sara said.

"Oh my god..." Aiden started laughing.

Sara giggled.

Vincent's face was as red as a tomato.

Puppet giggled.

"Hehe. It'll be just like Tiger and Bunny." Mike said. Scott blushed even more.

Sara smiled like a dork.

"Guys..." Scott's face was bright red.

Puppet giggled as she smiled.

"All right. Let's not waste anymore time. Let's buy the stuff and keep going." Aiden said.

Sara nodded.

After Aiden and the others bought the stuff they need, they continued their trek across the city.

Sara moved her pink hair out of her face as she looked at the sky.

Aiden, Mike, Scott and Vincent looked at the sky too. The sun was setting in the distance, dying the sky a bright orange.

"The sky is so beautiful..." Sara thought.

Mike held Sara's hand.

Sara held Mike's hand in return.

Vincent looked at the sky too and smiled. Then, he noticed something out of the corner of his eye.

It was a red moon. His eyes narrowed. "Getting a little impatient, aren't we, Thing?" He thought.

https://youtu.be/VOAZrZpAcdw

Sara noticed the red moon as well and narrowed her eyes. She closed one hand tightly.

Nightmare immediately grew nervous. "I knew this was a bad idea! I knew it!" He thought. Anthony put his hand on Nightmare's shoulder. "It's okay, dude. We'll fight The Thing and we'll save you, Vincent and Springtrap, okay?" He said. Nightmare looked at the dark skinned man and slowly nodded. "Alright. We'd better hurry." Kevin said and they continued walking.

Clay was leaning against the wall outside the police station. He had a cigarette in his mouth and he was looking up at the sky. He noticed the red moon too. The moon that was once beautiful and eerie before now is just an annoyance to him. "That Thing... When will he ever learn?" He thought. At that moment, Eric, Chuck and Guy came outside and saw him.

"Sir, did you notice the red moon?" Eric asked.

"Yeah. I did." Clay said, his gaze still fixed on the moon.

"I hope the others are going to be okay....." Eric said, looking at the crimson bloody red moon.

"I hope so too." Clay said. Chuck and Guy joined Eric and Clay at gazing at the crimson moon. Chuck sighed, remembering what Clay told him and the others.

*FLASHBACK*

The three men entered Clay's office and sat at the three chairs in front of his desk. Guy had a nervous look on his face while Eric had a concerned look. "So, what did you call us in here for, sir?" Chuck asked Clay. Clay put his hands on his chin and looked at the three officers. "Well, I called you three in here today because I have something to say about our suspect, Vincent Simmons." He said.

"What is it?" Eric asked.

"Well... Vincent was at the station yesterday and I talked to him about the break in that occurred at his house at the first of August. The first thing anyone would do in that situation is to call the police. But, Vincent called his friend, Scott. So, it might be possible that he... might have amnesia." Clay explained. The three men's eyes widened in shock.

"R-Really?" Eric asked.

Clay nodded. "D-Did his friends... make any progress with getting his memories back?" Chuck asked. "Yes. His friends made great progress with getting his memories back." Clay replied.

Eric sighed in relief. "Well, that's a good thing." He said.

Chuck looked at Guy. He can tell what he was thinking. "If you're thinking about taking Vincent to the hospital, I don't think it'll be a good idea." He said.

Eric nodded in agreement. "I agree with Clay. We know things escalate quickly in the hospital." He said.

"Yeah. It's just too risky." Chuck said. "Alright... I'm just... worried about him, you know." Guy said.

"We're all worried about him." Eric said.

Chuck nodded. Guy looked down and sighed. "Hey..." Chuck hugged Guy. "It's alright. We'll help him get Vincent's memories back." He said.

Eric nodded.

Guy hugged back.

Eric hugged Guy as well.

Guy felt a few tears form in his eyes, but he blinked them away.

Eric looked out the window. "I hope we can get Vincent's memories back..." He thought.

*FLASHBACK END*

Chuck sighed and looked at Guy.

Eric looked at Guy as well.

Guy kept his gaze to the sky. "Whatever plan The Thing is planning... I hope Vincent and the others win." He said.

Eric nodded.

"I hope they win." Guy said.

At Doug's and Rachel's, Doug is looking out the window, looking at the crimson moon. Rachel is standing next to him and she held Doug's hand. Doug looked at her and gave her a small smile as the others walked up to them. "Do you think they're gonna be okay?" Pete asked. Doug sighed. "I don't know, Pete... I don't know..." He said. Bane looked out the window, the red moon shining down at them.

"Vincent... I hope you and the others win... I hope."

A few hours later, Vincent and the others finally arrived at the place where Nightmare and The Thing will be fighting. Jeremy looked over the edge and shivered from the tall height. He was afraid that they would fall off the building.

Sara also looked over the edge and shivered as well. "Jesus....We should be more careful not to fall off..." She said.

Scott and Aiden held Vincent close to protect him.

Sara wrapped an arm around Stacey's waist and pulled her close protectively as she held Mike's hand.

Nightmare looked around for The Thing. "Better keep our eyes open. They might strike." He said.

Sara nodded.

Everyone looked around to see if The Thing or the nightmare animatronics are there. Kevin looked up and saw Nightmare Chica try to jump on him, but he round kicked her and she almost fell off the edge.

"Kevin! Are you okay?!" Sara asked.

"Yeah. I'm okay." Kevin said. Mike turned around and saw Nightmare Bonnie. Just then, he tackled him. Jeremy kicked Nightmare Bonnie off of Mike.

Sara saw Nightmare Freddy, about to slash at her. But, she grabbed his claws and head butted his face.

Nightmare Freddy stumbled back and growled at her. Vincent saw a hook and he turned around to see Nightmare Foxy, about to slash at him. He grabbed his hook hand and he glared at him, his eyes turning purple

Strings began to come out of Sara's finger tips as she glared at Nightmare Freddy. "Come at me." She said, her voice sounding like Puppet's voice

Scott felt tentacles wrap around his neck and he is lifted off the ground by Nightmare Mangle. Vincent saw this and pulled one of Nightmare Mangle's tentacles off. She screamed in pain and let go of Scott. He fell to the ground, gasping for air. "Are you okay?!" Vincent asked as he ran over to him. Scott nodded.

Sara's eyes turned black with white pupils as she wrapped the strings around Nightmare Mangle, she then threw her at Nightmare Chica.

Nightmare Chica immediately got up and charged at the others, but Vincent kneed her in the stomach. At this point, the purple aura is surrounding Vincent completely.

Sara walked beside Vincent as she glared at the Nightmare animatronics. "Ready Vincent?" She asked.

Vincent smirked. "Ready." He said.

Sara smirked. "Let's rock." She said.

Vincent pulled out big long-hilted knives as his eyes shined a bright purple.

Very sharp strings came out of Sara's finger tips as her eyes turned black with small red skeleton heads as pupils.

Vincent arranged the knifes in his hand in a way that looked like Wolverine claws. Nightmare Freddy charged at Sara while Nightmare Foxy lunged at Vincent. He swung his hook down, but Vincent managed to block it with the knife. He swung it, cutting Nightmare Foxy's eyepatch.

Sara smirked and knee kicked Nightmare Freddy's chin, and with her strings. She lifted him up and slammed him to the ground.

Nightmare Mangle tried to wrap her tentacles around Vincent's neck, but the purple aura turned into hands and grabbed them. Vincent looked at Nightmare Mangle and smirked as the purple aura picked her up and slammed her to the ground.

Sara smirked at Vincent. She moved her head out of the way as she saw a fist in front of her face and saw Nightmare Bonnie. She grabbed his wrist and threw him at Nightmare Foxy.

The two of them crashed into each other as the purple hands let go of Nightmare Mangle.

Sara smirked as she crossed her arms. "Had enough yet?" She asked the nightmare animatronics.

Vincent nodded. Nightmare Freddy slowly looked up and pointed behind Vincent. His eyes started to change color rapidly like a malfunctioning flashlight. The color was switching from black to blue as he tried to speak. "B... Behind... you..." He croaked out. Vincent gasped as he felt a sharp pain in his back. And then...

*SHINK*

A large blade stabbed Vincent from behind. His eyes widened as his blood splattered everywhere. He felt something hot come up his throat and he started coughing. Little drops of blood came out of his mouth as it trickled down the corner of his mouth. He heard someone chuckling and he knew it was The Thing.

"Hehehehehe... You really are stupid, aren't you, Vincent?"

Nightmare's eyes widened along with Scott's as they watched The Thing stab Vincent with a large sword. "VINCENT!!!" Scott screamed. "Y-You...!! I-I'll kill you!!" Nightmare shouted as he ran towards him. The Thing swatted Nightmare with his arm and he fell to the ground. "You did good, Nightmare. You got him right where I want him. And now... You won't have to worry about him anymore." The Thing said as he dug the sword deeper into Vincent. "Y-You fucker.... I-I'm gonna kill you!!!" Scott shouted as tears streamed down his face. He took off his glasses and threw them on the ground. "I will kill you!!" He said in a menacing tone as he started to walk towards him. The Thing just laughed. "How are you gonna do that? You're just a weak, human being. You're all weak. I'm the one who is strong. Nobody can beat me. Once I kill Vincent, Nightmare will have the prolonged life he so desires." He said. "NO!!" Everyone screamed as The Thing prepared to slit Vincent's neck. Then, Vincent grabbed the sword that was stabbing him. The Thing was confused and looked at Vincent who had his head down. His bangs are covering his eyes and the purple aura began to surround him again. The Thing tried to pull the sword out, but he can't. "W-What?" Then, Vincent smirked and started to chuckle. "You underestimate me, Thing, like everyone else." He said, his voice gurgling with the blood in his throat. The purple aura started to surround the sword as he pulled out his knife and stabbed The Thing in the neck while he pulled the sword out of him. More blood started to come out of the wound as he stumbled.

Sara looked at Vincent with a shocked look on her face, but, she glared at The Thing as bloody strings were now coming out of her finger tips.

"What? N-No... T-This cannot..." The Thing started to say, but Vincent picked up the sword that The Thing had dropped and stabbed The Thing in the chest. He flinched as black blood started to come out of his mouth. Vincent looked at The Thing with a clod stare, his purple eyes now shining.

"Go back to where you were born, Thing. Go back to NOTHING!" Vincent said in a low, deep voice. And with that, he swung the sword up through The Thing, cutting him in half. He screamed as he disappeared into a puff of smoke. Vincent started panting as the purple aura faded. He looked up at the moon, which has turned back to its original white color. A small smile crept up on his face. "It's over... It's finally over..." Vincent quietly said before he fell to the ground. He could hear his friends call out to him as his vision faded to black.
