The next day, the Bad Guys were now working on a plan to stop Shadow Plague.

"So what do we do now?" Brok asked.

"We need to come up with a plan to get our friends back and to take down Shadow Plague." Wolf said.

"Oh I wouldn't waste time coming up with a plan." Shark said in a dark creepy voice.

They all turn to face Shark to see his eyes were blood red with a twisted grin. It was Nightmare Fazbear possessing him!

"Nightmare! If you hurt him—" Snake threatened. But Night Shark just chuckles darkly.

"Don't bother with hollow threats. Hurt me, and you'll only hurt your fat friend. I am telepathically speaking through him from far away. Useful host this one is. He's quite the chubby tuna. A lot of juicy meat." Night Shark chuckled as he licked his lips.

"What do you want?" Wolf said.

"Simply to deliver a message. Give yourself up Snake, and Creyke will give you back your daughter, and your friends. Just surrender and they'll be fine." Night Shark said.

Snake then thinks deeply on the offer. He does, Princess and his friends go free, but Creyke will continue to hurt innocent people.

"Absolutely not! We're not giving up Snake. Our friends would want us to fight! Not to just give up!" Wolf said.

"If you don't, your daughter and friends will suffer! Meet me at Beverly Hills near West Hollywood within the hour. If you don't show up in time, then all you'll get...IS YOUR DAUGHTER'S HEAD!!!!" Night Shark roars as he released Shark who screams and panicked.

"Hey hey hey! Easy Shark! You're okay now." Wolf said trying to comfort him while Snake begins to panic.

"No no NO! It's not okay! He overwhelmed me. Took over me! I heard everything he said. I could... feel his determination and on how serious he is!" Shark said as he started to hyperventilate a bit.

"Take it easy, calm down big guy." Webs said. Snake then got his suit on as he prepared to head out.

"Snake! Where are you going?" Piranha asked.

"I'm going after them! None of you guys are gonna stop me!" Snake said as he flies away on his Snake Palisman staff.

"SNAKE WAIT!!! We have to go after him!" Wolf said as he pulls out his Wolf Palisman with the others doing the same.

Snake finally reaches the meeting point to see it empty. His guard was up and his power grew stronger by his emotions.

"I'm here! Show yourself, Nightmare!" Snake shouts.

"Oh, I'm already here."

Snake looks down to see Nightmare speaking through his shadow.

"Where's Princess?!" Snake demanded.

"Oh she's still alive. You're quite the victim of fear and regret." Nightmare said as he goes into another shadow.

"I've faced my fear!" Snake said. Suddenly shadow figures begin to appear.

"Really? Because where I'm standing and seen in your mind, you've been holding so much from your friends and family." Nightmare said as the shadows took shape at Snake.

"What about Afton? You just hid back, as he murdered those children. You've could have at least tried to save them but you were too scared. Scarred for life as a child." Nightmare said as a Springtrap shadow appears to fight him.

"What about Thomas? At first, you were fine giving Princess back to her so you can stay the Bad Guy. With not seeing the clues that he actually didn't cared for her. Then you guys lied to her about that it was you who were responsible for her mother's death." Nightmare said as a Thomas shadow appears.

"Or when you thought Piranha was dead? Boy did that one sting." Nightmare said as a Piranha shadow appears.

"How about Shark? For a year he was gone and his death hurt the worse." Nightmare said as a Shark shadow appears.

"The fear of losing your daughter in any way. Whether it's growing up, moving out, or losing her in death. You're always the protective parent. More protective than Wolf and the others. But in being protective, you're just building up the fear inside you." Nightmare said as a Princess shadow appears.

Snake blasted all the shadows away with a Light Glyph, recovering from the fear attack.

"And that is why... FEAR OWNS YOU!!!!" Nightmare roars as he grabs Snake's face to him and induced Snake into a nightmare.

Snake was now in the old base where his old team made their home. He turns to see Creyke growling at him in a predator way with blood red eyes.

"You left me. You abandoned me. I loved you like a son and you betrayed me." Creyke said. Snake backs away as he begins to breath heavy.

"No. This isn't real." Snake said.

"Fear is real. You can't run from it forever nor deny it!" Creyke said getting closer to him.

"I know you're still here, Nightmare!" Snake said as he breaks free from the bad dream.

"Very impressive. It is not every day that someone can sense my presence in their nightmares." Nightmare said.

"Well, I'm not like most people. Our powers are psychic-based. We have a connection." Snake said.

"Perhaps... but it doesn't matter. Escape one nightmare and I'll just serve up another. After all, there is always more terror to unlock." Nightmare said.

Before Nightmare could create one, he got sonic blasted away. Snake turns to see Wolf, Shark, Piranha, Webs, and the other heroes show up.

"You guys came?" Snake said.

"Of course. We're your friends and family." Wolf said. They turn to see Nightmare picking himself up.

"Do you have any idea what I'm capable of?!" Nightmare said as his fist turns into a mace.

Along with him, Taznado, Saber-Flash, Steelbeak, Bebop, and Rocksteady appeared. Along with another meta assassin called Fox Switchblade.

"This were this ends, mateys!" Fox Switchblade said as he pulls out his jade blade sword.

"This is gonna be fun!" Steelbeak said as his fists turn to blades.

Each of the heroes engaged the assassins. Flash fought Diego. Brok and Graf fought Steelbeak. Harley and Hogger fought Taz. Gobber and Snotlout fought Bebop and Rocksteady. Vibe and Frost fought Switchblade. The Bad Guys fought Nightmare.

"First you guys quit working with Shredder and now Shadow Plague?!" Snotlout said.

"We don't have a choice!" Rocksteady said as he slams his fist on the ground and creates pillars of stone pushing him away.

"Then why?" Gobber asked as he blasted them.

"You wouldn't understand if you had someone you care for!" Bebop said as he breached them back.

"Is that all you got chicken?" Brok teased as Steelbeak got mad.

"Chicken?! I'm a rooster!!! There's a difference!" Steelbeak said as he fires metal feather spikes.

"Why are you guys working with Shadow Plague?" Flash said as he fights against Diego.

"You don't understand what they have against me?" Diego said as he claws at him at Super Speed.

Vibe and Frost fight hard against Switchblade with his swordsmanship.

"Never thought I see a pirate?" Vibe joked as he dodged the blade. Frost with her ice blades clashed at Foxy who grinned.

"Finally! A worthy opponent!" Foxy said.

The Bad Guys with Drago together used their powers with Light, Ice, Plant, Fire, Electric, Earth, Water, and Wind Glyphs knocking Nightmare back. He turns to see the assassins were getting tired.

"ENOUGH!!!! NO MORE GAMES!!!" Nightmare said as shadow claws began to pull some of the heroes. Vibe, Flash, Frost, Snotlout, Harley, and Hogger were dragged into the darkness.

"Flash! Where did you take them?!" Wolf demanded.

"Don't worry, they're someplace safe. Just had to remove the bigger threats." Nightmare said.

"And we're not a threat?" Piranha joked as he cracked his knuckles.

"Big mistake." Drago said as Dice took staff form in his claws.

"Definitely not with what's about to happen." Foxy said.

"Mom? Wait! Come back!" Garth said as he cries.

"Lia! No! Don't leave me! I'm so sorry I couldn't save you!" Brok said as he begins to cry and sob.

"Mom! Don't go! I beg you! Come back!" Graff said crying as well.

"Dad? It's me, pa! Don't go!" Gobber cried as he morns.

"Uncle? Wait! Come back!" Ripper cries.

"Aunt Luna! Come back! Don't leave me again!" Worriz cries as he sobs in heart broken.

"What's happening to them?" Drago asked scared and confused.

"They're seeing phantoms of the loved ones who've died." Shark said in fear.

"There's only one person that can do this." Webs said in realization.

"Come on out! I know you're here, Deathstorm!" Snake shouts. Behind him appeared a burst of bluish fire, coming out of the flames was Deathstorm.

"Hi there! I'm baaaaaccccckkk!" Deathstorm said in taunting way.

"What are you doing to them?!" Drago demanded.

"I showed them the deaths of the people they love. And now, with the help of their grief, I grow stronger!" Deathstorm said as his eyes glowed brighter, affecting Drago as well.

"Dylan? No! Do die on me bro." Drago cries as he begins to grieve his brother-in-arms from his time in the war.

"Give it up, Deathstorm! You can't affect us." Wolf said.

"Oh but I can. The reason why I wasn't able to affect from the beginning was because you hid your grief. But now I know what you've lost!" Deathstorm said as he affects them.

"Mom! Wait! Hold on! Come back!" Wolf cried as he begins to get weak.

"G-pa? Wait please! Hold on!" Shark cried as he begins to grieve.

"Abuelo? Abuela? Don't go! I love you!" Piranha cried reaching out for them.

"Daddy? No! Don't leave me alone!" Webs cried as she weeps for her dad.

"Stop! Stop! Stop it!" Snake pleaded as his painful memories of loss and painful ones flowed in his mind. Watching the kids get slaughtered by Afton, watching Piranha's death in Poppy's Playtime, Princess getting abused by Thomas, Shark's sacrifice and funeral, and his mother's death. He cries as he feels weak and scared by the screams he hears.

"No. You stop fighting, Bad Guys. Give in to the pain, the pain you still feel. Let your sorrow wash over all of you, so I can grow stronger." Deathstorm said as he absorbs the grief from all of them.

Deathstorm continues to feed off them, absorbing the grief out of them and as he does, they get weaker. Nightmare was impressed, but as for the others... they were not. Mostly Bebop and Rocksteady.

"Okay, that's enough Deathstorm." Nightmare said.

Deathstorm stopped, leaving all the heroes weak and they pass out. Snake was the last one who managed to stay up. Rocksteady then walks to him.

"Sorry bro." Rocksteady said with a sad pitiful look as he punched Snake out cold.

Snake wakes up to see himself locked in binds. He looks to see locked in a truck. He gets sad and mad. They suddenly stopped moving with Snake ready to strike. The door opened with Snake bursting out and a shadow claw grabbed him yelling and screaming.

"YOU'RE DEAD!!! YOU HEAR ME?! LET ME GO!!!IF YOU HURT ONE HAIR ON MY DAUGHTER AND FRIENDS...I'M GONNA—" Snake roars out but is stopped by his best friend's voice.

"Snake! Calm down! We're okay." Wolf said.

Snake opens his eyes to see all of his friends and family okay. Including with Angus, Kodi, and Roman! Even with the Assassins! They were all okay! Snake was completely confused.

"What the molt is going on?" Snake asked as he was held by shadows.

"I'm gonna set you free, try not to bite." Nightmare said as he puts him down on the ground. Taz then goes to break his binds. Snake rushes to his three old friends.

"Kodi! Roman! Angus! You're okay! But I thought—" Snake sputtered confused.

"We were captured? Yes, we were, but we managed to get Creyke think that we were just spying on you guys for him. Telling him everything on what you guys know." Roman said.

"What about Princess and the others?" Snake asked.

"I'm sorry. But we don't know what happened to them." Kodi said sadly.

"When Nightmare and his fellow Assassins caught us, they were really protecting the 3 of us." Angus said.

"Them? Why?" Snake asked suspicious.

"Working with Shadow Plague to spread fear was nice at first, but with Creyke starting boss me around like I'm his pet... well, that's taking things too far." Nightmare said.

"So we call for some backup." Gobber said.

Coming out of the darkness was the Batmoblie with Batman coming out in a dramatic way.

"Heard you guys needed help with a criminal investigation." Batman said.

Suddenly, an arrow was shot down with Green Arrow slinging down with a grin.

"Heard you're having trouble." Green Arrow said. Super girl then came flying down.

"Hey guys! Need some super help?" Supergirl asked.

Appearing on a motorcycle was Black Canary.

"Canary?" Black Wolf said surprised to see his wife.

"Hey Wolf." Black Canary said.

Mega Man and Rush then just teleported to them.

"Happy to help out a friend. Plus I brought my big brother with me." Mega Man said with Rush by his side. Fire Man then appeared from a blast of flames.

"Enemies will feel the flames of Justice!" Fire Man said as his flames grew stronger.

One sports car and black pickup truck drive up as they then transformed.

"Hello punks." Ironhide said waving to them. Wheeljack appeared behind him.

"Hey guys." Wheeljack said. They now have a army against Shadow Plague.

"Sorry if it took so long for us, we had other problems to deal with." Supergirl said.

"Now this is quite the team." Piranha said.

"So you guys gonna help us?" Shark asked the assassins.

"We have our own reasons for working with Shadow Plague." Foxy said sadly.

"While some of us are being blackmailed, some of us are being forced another way." Diego said.

"Shadow Plague has the ones you guys love, don't they?" Flash said. Diego, Steelbeak, Bebop, and Rocksteady nodded.

"They have my daughter... Stella. My sweet little girl." Steelbeak said with a tear dripping down his cheek.

"My wife, Shira... and my 3 cubs." Diego said looking at the necklace with the white fang.

"They have our kid... our son." Rocksteady said sadly.

"Our little boy, Tylor." Bebop said.

"Son?" Cisco puzzled.

"Adopted." The mutant metas both said.

"We found the kid alone on the streets. We decided to take him in. He's been the best thing to ever happen in our lives." Rocksteady said sniffing.

"If you guys think you can stop Shadow Plague... WE'RE IN!!!" Bebop said.

"Plus we got a plan on stopping Creyke and to stop Shadow Plague." Angus said.

"Why couldn't you guys just say that you were helping instead of threatening to cut our daughter's head off and fight us?" Snake asked.

"You wouldn't have taken us seriously. I had to motivate you guys. Plus, I would never do something like that to kids. I may be a demon monster but I'm not that type of a monster who hurts children." Nightmare said with Snake growling at him.

Later on, they were at the Hall of Justice to discuss the grand plan.

"Okay! So here's the plan. Tonight is the big night that Creyke is presenting his new weapon and other weapons and tech to buyers. One that none of us know about but him and Dr. Terce." Angus said.

"He has a lot of meta assassins working for him, including ones you've never seen." Steelbeak said.

"Besides Thrasher, there are other meta Pokémorphs like him who've forced to work for Shadow Plague." Foxy said with sadness.

"Which why we need to be careful. With the spell, we can take them all out and here's how we do it: We take you Bad Guys and some of the others as prisoners when we're really escorting you straight to Creyke. You'll be wearing power-damping cuffs, but Webs will only look like they're on when they're not. She'll then deactivate the shields of the place so you JL heroes can break in from the back on the place. Some of you guys will impersonate some of the buyers there. Once Creyke reveals his weapon, Brok will use the EMP disruptor to short-circuit the place. Angus will then use the spell similar to the one you guys used on us to take everyone out. Once that's done, we can then free everyone they've held captive." Nightmare explained.

"Everyone then lives happily ever after!" Kodi said in joy.

"Sounds like a plan me." Wolf said impressed by it.

"Okay everyone! Get ready! Today, we take down Shadow Plague." Batman said. Snake grins.

"Watch out, Creyke...I'm coming." Snake said.
