(Popgoes and Candy stroll out of a portal and back into the Multiversal Hub, as if dancing to some kind of music.)

Popgoes: ~Oh, when the spooks have a midnight jamboree, they break it up with fiendish glee!~

Candy: ~Ghosts are bad, but the one that's cursed is The Headless Horseman! He's the- Wait, when did we get back here?

Popgoes: Awwww, that universe was fun. I love musicals...

Candy: Is it even Halloween?

Popgoes: (shrugs) Wish I could tell you.

Candy: ...okay, admittedly, the one thing I didn't like about that place was a headless Endoskeleton chasing us on a robotic horse.

Popgoes: That was pretty spooky. Not the scariest thing though!

Candy: So, one more try for the day? That just pumped me up!

Popgoes: Alright then!

(Popgoes fired another portal before spinning it around and putting it in the holster that we're going to pretend was always there.)

Candy: ...and, uhh, Pop?

Popgoes: Hmm?

Candy: Thanks. You've made this whole thing bearable...and even kinda fun.

Popgoes: Honestly? I couldn't agree more. I'm glad I have a friend with me...not that I want to adventure forever-

Candy: Oh, hell no. I still wanna go back home.

Popgoes: Maybe when we do get back, we can see each other more!

Candy: Hey, not a bad idea!

(Popgoes and Candy run through the portal and then successfully strike a superhero pose on the other side, arriving in front of a castle. The landscape was almost dead, with the grass and trees all gray and rotting. And from the castle, some kind of bright red beam of energy was shooting into the sky.)

Candy: ...that's new.

Popgoes: It's definitely...strange.

(The duo walk towards the gate and see three locks preventing it from opening.)

Popgoes: Hmm...are either of us good at picking locks?

Candy: Don't worry! I got my handy-dandy lock-picking kit!

(Candy takes out one of his axes and is ready to swing into them...before they slowly hear footsteps behind them. They slowly turn around to see...Popgoes?!)

Popgoes 2: Okay, this is- What the!?

Popgoes: Oh my goodness...!

Candy: ...told ya we'd run into another version of you soon enough.

Popgoes 2: WHO ARE YOU!?!? A-and why do you look like me!?!

Popgoes: C-calm down! Calm down! I-I know this may sound crazy, but...I am you! From another dimension!

Popgoes 2: ...another dimension? I...I guess that would explain the handsomeness!

Popgoes: Right back at you, fellow weasel!

Popgoes 2: Does that mean you and I are exactly alike?

Popgoes: ...I suppose so.

Popgoes 2: ~Do you want some-~

(Candy shushes the second Popgoes with a finger to his furry lips.)

Candy: I love a good musical number as much as the next guy, but I don't feel comfortable doing one right beside the foreboding castle with the ominous lasers.

Popgoes 2: Oh, I almost forgot!!! I have to stop the king!!!

Popgoes: The king? Mind recapping so we can help?

Popgoes 2: Of course! I'll take all the help I can get! By the way, who are you?

Candy: ...Candy The Cat? Burger-extraordinaire? I've got a restaurant well-known across the country?

Popgoes 2: ...sorry, doesn't ring a bell.

Candy: (sigh) Dammit.

(Popgoes pats his friend on the back with a sympathetic smile.)

Popgoes 2: Anyway, I'm Popgoes as you can tell! My friends and I live in the forest! We'll play as a band or work jobs around here! My friend, Manora, even runs an inn around here! But for some strange reason, King Freddy has gone mad-

Candy: YOU'RE KIDDING ME. FUCKING FAZBEAR IS A KING HERE!??!

Popgoes: Candy.

Candy: ...continue...

Popgoes 2: A-anyway, he's gone crazy for some reason! He has this machine that's corrupting the wildlife and the people! Turning them crazy and rabid...and even slowly killing them.

Popgoes: Dear God...

Popgoes 2: But that's not the worst part. Even when they die, they...keep going.

Candy: Wait, wait. Like zombies?

Popgoes 2: S-sort of? Their bodies just rot and reveal their skeletons...but it's like their spirit is still attached, so they're just undead and...I-I don't even know how to describe it really.

(The second Popgoes shivers at the memories, even hugging himself.)

Popgoes 2: Ghosts were never my forte...

Popgoes: Then we need to stop the king right now! What's the plan?

Candy: First things first, we destroy that machine and then teach 'King Fazbear' a lesson!

(Candy lets out an almost psychotic grin as he takes out both of his axes, his eye even twitching.)

Popgoes 2: ...umm...

Popgoes: D-don't mind him, he has a personal grudge against Freddy Fazbear...the two are rivals back home.

Popgoes 2: I-I see. Well, I have the keys to the locks, so we can-

(Candy slashes open the locks with his axes with a smirk, the gates opening.)

Popgoes 2: ...well, I've just wasted a few hours of my life trying to get these keys then.

Candy: No time for that! Let's go!

(The new trio all run inside the castle and start searching for the throne room. The castle itself is lit by torches, but just as dark and dreary as outside.)

Popgoes 2: ...so, to ease the tension, what's it like in your dimension?

Popgoes: Oh! It's amazing! My- I mean, our friends and I run a restaurant! One of the only ones to be run entirely by animatronics! Manora and I have one helluva time, and we usually spend most date nights sorting through paperwork.

Popgoes 2: Date nights? Us and Manora?

Popgoes: Are...you two not dating here?

Popgoes 2: W-well, umm...I...I never really thought about her that way? She's a good friend of mine! I just...I'm not sure. Romance was never on my mind.

Popgoes: ...well, you don't have to date her just because another version of yourself is. I don't want to force my own life onto yours.

Popgoes 2: Thanks...although. I guess she is pretty cute, h-heh!

(Popgoes smiles softly as he recalls his beloved, already starting to miss her. More than usual.)

Popgoes: Mhm...

Popgoes 2: Wait, did you say...animatronics?

Popgoes: ...is that...not what you are?

Popgoes 2: N-no, I'm just a regular weasel! You're saying you're a robot? That's...pretty cool, ha!

Popgoes: Well, thank you! What's being an organic weasel like?

Popgoes 2: I'm not sure how to describe-

Candy: Pop?

Both Popgoes': Yes?

Candy: ...you two think you can make sense of these?

(Candy holds up a few pages of what was likely a journal, with writing across each entry. The two weasels start looking over it.)

Popgoes: ...I think this is King Freddy's diary.

Popgoes 2: I think so too!

Candy: Pfft, what dude owns a diary?

Popgoes: ...Candy, you do know I've been keeping one about our adventures, right? How come you haven't made fun of me for that?

Candy: ...look, I just wanna insult Freddy, okay-

Popgoes 2: Umm...you two might wanna read these. They're...concerning.

Entry 1: Night 1. It has been a week since my father died. I've tried my best to read one of his books because I know he would have wanted me to try picking up where he left off, with his research and all. But I'm just not that kind of person. For now, this castle will be my home. Being king is not all it's cracked up to be.

Entry 2: Night 2. Last night...one of the castle paintings...it looked like it was trying to point something out to me...I wasn't tired or anything. I guess I could have been imagining things...but it kept looking at me, and then at one of my father's books that was on the floor. I picked up the book, it was one of his earlier ramblings about ghosts. He was adamant that creatures who were killed by the hands of another living creature...would get a second chance at living, as a specter, or something like that. He said dying naturally would end the cycle, you'd turn into nothing. Disappear. But being killed by someone else? On purpose? The world, nature, karma, would give you another chance...

Entry 3: Night 3. I really don't think I have much of a role here, as king. Nobody seems to want to talk to me. And I honestly don't have much to say. I just sit here. Sometimes I walk around, for something to eat or to water the plants. But otherwise, I don't really serve a purpose. So, I want to come up with an idea. I want to make something. Something to make my father proud. To make everyone proud. Something really groundbreaking.

Entry 4: Night 4. I think my father is still with me, as crazy as that sounds. Well, it sounds as crazy as the stuff in these books. But, he must have had a reason to write those things. He didn't seem insane before he died. Though, saying that...he did mention something about how the presence of the paranormal...might have a permanent effect on the mental state of nearby entities. As in, being near ghosts might make you go coocoo. He used the word 'corrupt' a lot, when referring to that kind of behavior. But he never experimented with that kind of thing. I don't THINK he did anyway.

Entry 5: I have an idea.

(The trio looks at each other after having finished the entries, looking confused or creeped out.)

Popgoes 2: ...that was...interesting.

Candy: Sounds like he went mad. Typical of a Fazbear.

Popgoes: ...

Candy: Pop?

Popgoes: ...I...feel like I've heard this before...?

Candy: You have? From who?

Popgoes: I-I don't remember? But...I just have this gut feeling about once hearing someone ramble on about ghosts...

Popgoes 2: (shiver) W-well...I personally didn't like that. But we're wasting time! We need to stop him!

Candy: Right!

(The trio then rush into the throne room, all of them preparing for yet another fight. The second Popgoes even took out some kind of hook he had gained from an earlier fight. And waiting for them, on the throne, was a cloaked figure.)

???: ...how peculiar...

Popgoes 2: It's over, King Freddy!!!

Popgoes: We're here to save the people of this forest and to-!

Candy: KICK YOUR ASS!!! STAND UP AND FIGHT US LIKE A MAN!!!

King Freddy: ...I was only expecting one weasel...you two aren't from around here. I can sense it...you aren't like us. You do not breathe. Your flesh is steel. Your fur is artificial. You do not require many of the things we need to live...or...many of things we once needed.

(The king stands from his throne.)

King Freddy: Yet...you both reek of life. Somehow, I cannot describe it...no matter...just know that you will all come to thank me when this is over. Being dead is nowhere near as bad as it sounds...I should know...

(King Freddy then pulls back his cloak and reveals that his entire body is now the gray skeleton of a humanoid bear, with a bright red crown on his head instead of the usual tophat like most Freddy variants.)

King Freddy: Because that's what I am...

Candy: Then let's see if you can double-die!!! C'MERE!!!

Popgoes: CANDY, WAIT-!

(Candy lunges forward and swings his axes at King Freddy, but the dead king whips out a large scythe and blocks the attack. The two are locked in a clash as they push against each other before King Freddy swats Candy against the wall.)

King Freddy: I admire your spirit! But now come! Come and meet this glorious end!!!

(The second Popgoes quickly hands his counterpart one of the weapons he had gotten from his earlier battles, a pitchfork, and the two charge. King Freddy lunges forward as well and swings his scythe, shooting out a large red blast of spiritual energy. The blast is so strong that it sends both of the Popgoes' flying.)

King Freddy: Just lie down and accept-

(Candy hops on King Freddy's back due to his tall stature, slamming his axes into the skeleton's shoulders. The king roars, but not in pain, and he grabs Candy to toss him off. But Candy just headbutts the undead bear as he's dropped to the floor. He then begins his usual strategy of punching and dodging attacks, but it ended as fast as it started when King Freddy shot out another blast of spiritual energy from his scythe.)

Popgoes 2: H-he's too strong...!

Popgoes: N-not yet! C'mon!

(The two weasels get back up and Popgoes throws his pitchfork like a trident, with it stabbing King Freddy in the face. The king stumbles backwards with another roar as Popgoes 2 begins slashing at him over and over again with his hook. Then, finally Candy tackles King Freddy right onto his throne and begins punching him in the face over and over, even scratching him with his claws.)

Candy: GO! DESTROY THOSE MACHINES!!!

(Popgoes 2 nods and then quickly runs over to one of the machines, slicing it over and over with the hook and quickly disabling it. Meanwhile, the first Popgoes runs over to another and starts ripping out the circuitry inside.)

King Freddy: NO!!!

Candy: I GOT HIM, I GOT HIM-

(King Freddy grabs Candy by his neck and lifts him up as he rips out the pitchfork.)

Candy: I DON'T GOT HIM-

(King Freddy is about to strike him with his scythe before he's impaled in the side by Popgoes and his newly retrieved pitchfork. King Freddy roars as he drops Candy, who quickly punches him in the jaw again. Popgoes and Candy smirk at each other before unleashing attack after attack. Candy swung his axes into King Freddy's boney body while Popgoes would stab parts of him to catch him off balance. And it seemed with every strike, he would actually begin feeling pain from it.)

King Freddy: T...THIS ISN'T-!

Candy: Oh, shaddup!

(Candy spins around and slashes King Freddy in the face, causing him to fall onto his throne again.)

Popgoes: W-we're doing it!!!

(Meanwhile, Popgoes 2 destroys the final machine and the red beams of energy shooting into the sky disappear.)

Popgoes 2: More like did do it!!! We won!!!

King Freddy: N...NO...I WON'T LET YOU TAKE THIS FROM ME!!!

(King Freddy, with the bits of strength he had, launches one final blast towards Candy. But before it could hit him, Popgoes shoves his friend out of the way and takes the blast. With a scream of pain, he is sent flying across the throne room.)

Candy: POPGOES!!!

(Popgoes lands and twitches on the ground, his eyes even briefly glowing green for a moment. Candy rushes over to his friend and quickly checks him over, even scanning to see if he was alright.)

Popgoes 2: C-CANDY, WATCH OUT!!!

(King Freddy lunges forward at Candy, but with a scream, Candy takes his axes and decapitates the undead king. And for a second, King Freddy's alive form is shown as his head separates from his skeletal body. The red energy from the king fades away and his body falls apart into lifeless bones.)

Candy: ...good riddance...

(Candy then cradles his friend, looking him over.)

Candy: Pop? Popgoes? C-c'mon, man! Talk to me!

Popgoes: C-C-Can...dy...?

Popgoes 2: Oh, thank God! Is he going to be okay!?

Candy: ...y-yeah...yeah, he'll be fine.

(Candy sounds relieved as he realizes that only a non-crucial part of his systems was damaged. He'd be twitchy for a while until he was repaired.)

Popgoes: D-did we w-win...?

Candy: Yeah, bud...yeah, we did...you took a blast for me?

(Popgoes gives a sheepish smile as he twitched again.)

Popgoes: I-I couldn't let a friend get hurt, could I...?

Candy: ...thank you...let's get ya back. You gonna be okay, Other Pop?

Popgoes 2: Y-yes, I think so...you sure you don't need any-

Candy: We'll be alright. And thanks for your help.

(Candy then grabs the portal gun from his Popgoes and fires. He then walks through the portal with his friend in his arms.)

Popgoes 2: ...I guess all I can do is hope they'll be okay.

(The second Popgoes gives one last glance at the lifeless King Freddy before running out of the castle to be with his friends...but once he's gone, a purple portal appears and the mysterious figure from a few episodes ago appears, alongside Rat and Cat.)

Rat: Did we miss them?

Cat: Dammit, they must've just left?

???: Calm yourself...they aren't what we came for.

(The mysterious figure looks down at King Freddy's remains as his eyes glow a bright purple.)

???: ...but you are, my undead friend...
