(Candy walks through the portal with his friend still in his arms. They arrive in some kind of backyard. It's nighttime.)

Candy: ...well. This definitely isn't the right universe.

Popgoes: I-I g-gathered-

(Popgoes twitches again as he holds the wound on his chest.)

Popgoes: O-ow...

Candy: Shit...okay, there's gotta be tools around here. Hang on, buddy!

(Candy begins walking around, using his nightvision to see. And soon enough, he spotted the front door of a house.)

Candy: Perfect!

(He rushes over and then knocks on the door, still holding Popgoes.)

Popgoes: ...w-wait...what i-if talking animatronics aren't n-n-normal here?

Candy: ...fu-

(The door then opens. A human woman with black hair, a red blouse, black pants, and a pearl necklace opens the door. She's unfamiliar to both Popgoes and Candy.)

???: Hello-? Oh! Umm...hi...

Candy: Uhhh...good evening, ma'am! We're...we're, uhh-

(Popgoes lets out a cry of pain as he twitches again and Candy's eyes widen as he looks at his friend in worry.)

???: Oh my God, is he okay!?

Candy: N-no. No, he's not...look, can...can we come inside? Just for a while, I promise! Then we'll be out!

???: I...well, okay. Come in.

Popgoes: T-thank you...

(The woman lets them inside and Candy gently lays Popgoes down on the couch, looking at his wound again.)

Candy: Uhh...do you got a garage? Like...tools and stuff?

???: Don't know why'd you need those. Shouldn't we get him a medical kit?

Candy: ...well. Here's the thing-

???: You should probably take off that costume. I-I mean! They're really well done, don't get me wrong, but if he's injured-

Candy: Uhh...what's your name?

Val: Oh. I'm Val. Val Cawthon.

Candy: Miss Cawthon, umm...these aren't costumes.

(Val is quiet for a moment before she begins to giggle.)

Val: O-okay, quit pulling my leg-

(Popgoes' wound sparks as he twitches again.)

Popgoes: AGH!!!

Val: OH MY GOD!

Candy: See!? Look, I'll explain everything later! Do you have a toolbox I can fix him with!? I'll take a wrench, a hammer, anything!

Val: Y-yes...over t-there.

(Candy nods as he rushes over to where Val pointed and then quickly returned with a small toolbox. He opened the box and got to work.)

Val: ...you're robots...?

Candy: Yeah...animatronics technically. I-I know it's hard to believe.

Val: It...it is, but...but you look so familiar. You kind of look like some of the characters from my husband's games.

Popgoes: G-games...?

Val: Five Nights at Freddy's. My husband's a game developer. He makes video games for people on the internet and...well, this one became quite a hit.

Candy: Five...Nights at Freddy's, huh?

Val: My husband, Scott, would probably explain it a little better...is your friend okay?

(Candy then sets aside the tools and sighs, relieved.)

Candy: Yeah. He's all good. We just need to cover up that cut so no one strikes at your Endo again, Pop.

Popgoes: I...I do feel a lot better. Thank you, Candy. And thank you for letting us in, Mrs. Cawthon.

Val: It's not a problem...but, how are you robots alive? I-I know technology is pretty advanced, but I can't imagine it's this sophisticated to, y'know, make you feel...sentient, I guess.

Candy: We...might sound a little crazy if we try to explain it.

Val: Buddy, this already is crazy.

(Then, a voice calls out from the kitchen.)

???: Honey? Is everything okay?

Val: Ummm...yeah, Scott! You...you might wanna see this!

(Then, a human man with brown hair wearing gray shirt and blue pants walked in. His eyes then quickly widened at the sight of Popgoes and Candy.)

Scott: Umm...hey there! Those...those are some wicked costumes! I've seen some good cosplays, but you're next level!

Popgoes: Ummm...thank you, but...we're not exactly cosplayers.

Scott: What do you-?

Val: According to them, they're...well...animatronics. Like the ones in your game.

(Popgoes then shows his wound to reveal the now fixed Endoskeleton inside. Scott's eyes go even wider as he looks at Popgoes and then at Candy.)

Scott: ...you're real...

(Scott then very slowly pokes Popgoes' cheek, with our weasel hero clearly feeling a bit awkward.)

Popgoes: Ummm...please stop.

Scott: OH! Sorry, sorry! I'm just...still kinda taking this in. You...you look a lot like the characters I made for my game. I mean, I never made a cat or a weasel, but...

Candy: Yeah, we...we might be able to explain...but how about you explain first? Your wife, very nice lady by the way, said you obviously know a bit more about your games.

Scott: Right...so. I'm a game developer. I've been making video games for years. Usually nice and innocent ones, a bit of dark humor sprinkled in there...but, uhh, no one really played them. None of them really caught on.

Popgoes: Oh...I'm sorry, sir.

Scott: Eh, it's fine. My last child-friendly game, Chipper and Son's Lumber Co, also failed. Got a bunch of reviews saying that the characters looked scary. Like haunted animatronics you would find at Chuck E Cheese...and that gave me an idea. If they wanted something scary, I'd give it to them! So, I made Five Nights at Freddy's! FNAF for short.

Candy: Huh. Nice ring to it.

Scott: Right? The game is pretty simple. You're a security guard and you sit in an office, watch cameras, turn on lights, and close doors to keep the five animatronics away from you. There's also a bit of lore about ghosts and stuff, but to be honest? I'm just kinda making it up as I go. That aside, the game blew up. Everyone was playing it! So, I made a second game. Then a third. Then a fourth. Then a fun spin-off. And then a fifth game...starting to think I should stop there though. Gotta spend time with my family, y'know?

Candy: Heh. I hear ya. My siblings and I run a restaurant, so pretty much every waking moment of my life is with them...until recently, that is.

Val: What happened?

Popgoes: Well-

(Suddenly, the power went out. Popgoes and Candy quickly activated their nightvision as they looked around.)

Val: A blackout? Scott, did they say there was a storm?

Scott: No, I don't think so...I'll check the fuse box.

Val: I'll go check on Nicky. His nightlight might have gone out.

Popgoes: Umm...Candy, how about you follow Scott? I'll go with Val.

Candy: Huh? Why? It's not like they need help with a power outage.

(Popgoes then pulls him closer, making sure Scott and Val weren't listening.)

Popgoes: (whispering) Candy...for some reason, I have a really bad feeling.

Candy: (whispering) ...well, if your gut says so.

(He then follows Scott while Popgoes follows Val upstairs. Candy then lightly taps Scott on the shoulder, causing him to jump and whip around behind him.)

Scott: JESUS!

Candy: Sorry! I thought I could come with ya. I mean, I'm a robot. I could help with power.

Scott: Well...alright then.

(Scott then finds a flashlight and shines it as he opens a door, revealing a fusebox. He opens it and begins looking.)

Scott: So...your friend was cut off earlier. Where are you two from? How are you alive?

Candy: You have no idea how badly I wanna lie and say: 'We're actually aliens'.

(Scott laughs before it's suddenly cut short as he flips a few switches.)

Scott: ...huh. That's...weird. Nothing's working.

Candy: Eh? Lemme see.

(Candy gently peeks in and begins scanning the fusebox, but his eyes narrow when he sees nothing wrong with it.)

Candy: It...should be working fine-

(Suddenly, heavy footsteps fill the room. Scott begins flashing his light around.)

Scott: Is...that your friend-?

(Glowing red eyes then open from the darkness, staring at the two. Scott's eyes widen in horror as he shines his flashlight, as a broken and burnt variant of Freddy Fazbear runs at him with a mechanical roar.)

Scott: AHHH-!

(Candy then shields Scott and catches the mechanical demon by his wrists, pushing him back.)

Candy: ...AND HERE I WAS HOPING YOU WEREN'T REAL HERE, FAZBEAR.

(The demonic bear roars before Candy suddenly headbutts him and then begins his usual routine of punching him over and over. Scott scrambles backwards as he shines his light on the fight, his eyes wide in confusion and terror.)

Scott: F-Freddy?!?

(Candy then socks the demon across his mechanical jaw before grinning.)

Candy: C'MON, FAZBEAR!!! THAT ALL YOU GOT!?!?

(The demon known as Ignited Freddy suddenly transforms. His body switches from a mechanical animatronic with missing parts and black ooze coating his fur to some kind of zombified bear. His fur was now gray and rotting away, with half of his face now exposing a fleshy inhuman skull. Even parts of his Endoskeleton are covered with bones.)

Candy: ...well, that's terrifying.

Ignited Freddy: (roars)

(Ignited Freddy smacks Candy against the wall before lunging at Scott, until his eyes widen as Scott's light is exposed to his face. Ignited Freddy suddenly roars in pain, covering his eyes as he backs away.)

Scott: L...light!!! He hates light!!!

Candy: Good to know!

(As Ignited Freddy roars in pain, Candy grabs him by his head and forces him to look at Scott's light. The roars of agony grow even louder.)

Candy: Just keep shining it at him!!! Don't stop!!!

(Scott doesn't dare disobey as he keeps shining the light, even stepping closer. Ignited Freddy continues to roar and roar as Candy manages to free one of his arms while still holding him down.)

Candy: GO BACK TO HELL, FAZBEAR!

(Candy pulls out one of his axes and decapitates the demon, black ooze coming out like blood as the body goes limp.)

Scott: OH MY GOD!!!

(Candy drops the body as his clothes are now stained with the black ooze. He lets out a disgusted groan as he puts away his axe.)

Candy: I need a shower...

Scott: O-OKAY, I'VE HAD ENOUGH MYSTERIES! WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT!?!

Candy: That, my friend, was a demon version of Freddy Asshat...

(His eyes then widen in horror as he looks at Scott.)

Candy: ...and wherever Freddy goes, the others follow...

Scott: ...my family!!!

(Scott and Candy quickly rush out of the room. Meanwhile, Val and Popgoes enter Nick's room.)

Val: Nicky...? Sweetie...?

(Val walks inside, but doesn't hear a sound. The room is dark, only lit by the moonlight from the window. She checks the crib...and then gasps in horror.)

Popgoes: M-Mrs. Cawthon!?

(Val begins pulling back the blankets and searching around in a panicked manner.)

Val: Nick!? Nick, where are you!?

(Popgoes looks around as well...before he freezes up as he sees someone watching them from the dark. A burnt and withered version of Foxy the Pirate Fox.)

Val: W-where's my baby!?!

(Val then freezes as well once she hears the growl from Ignited Foxy. The demon lets out a sadistic laugh before lunging forward. Popgoes acts fast and pulls Val out of the way as Ignited Foxy trips over the crib and straight out the window, shattering it and falling.)

Popgoes: (breathing heavily) A-are you okay!?

Val: Y...yes...! M...my kids! W-we have to find my kids!!!

(Popgoes nods and then runs out the door with Val, quickly opening the door to the room of Scott and Val's oldest: Anthony and Samantha. And sure enough, the two siblings are cowering and holding onto each other as Ignited Chica is climbing from the ceiling, black ooze dripping like rain.)

Val: KIDS!!!

Tony: MOM!?!

(Ignited Chica roars as she begins crawling out faster, but Popgoes runs in and tackles Ignited Chica to the ground. Val rushes over to her children, pulling them into her arms and backing away.)

Sam: M-Mom, what's going on!? W-why is Chica here!?!

Val: Just stay with me...just stay close...

(Popgoes begins punching Ignited Chica in her incredibly large and open mouth, but suddenly, he's tossed off by wire-like tendrils. Ignited Chica lets out several demon hisses as she gets to her feet, staring right at Val, Sam, and Tony.)

Val: S-STAY AWAY FROM US!!!

Ignited Chica: (shrieks)

(Ignited Chica begins walking towards them before Popgoes suddenly grabs the nearest object, a toy sword, and begins jamming it down Ignited Chica's mouth. The demonic bird begins stumbling backwards and making some kind of choking sound. Popgoes then kicks Ignited Chica onto the floor as she struggles to get the toy out of her mouth.)

Popgoes: Let's get out of here!!!

Sam: M-Mom, who is that!?!

Val: H...he's a friend!!! Come on!!!

(Popgoes leads the way as Val, Sam, and Tony follow him. They begin rushing downstairs before in the living room, waiting for them, is a faceless Ignited Bonnie. Popgoes holds his arms in front of the terrified family.)

Ignited Bonnie: (demonic laughter)

(Ignited Bonnie roars as he runs at super speed, suddenly punching Popgoes across the room.)

Val: POPGOES!!!

(Ignited Bonnie roars at the family before reaching for them...until suddenly, roaring in pain when an axe hits him in the back of the head.)

Candy: HEY, BUD!!! OVER HERE!!!

(Ignited Bonnie whips around to see his attacker. And like a raging bull, he charges forward at Candy and throws his fist forward...only for Candy to catch it. Ignited Bonnie's red eyes widen as he stares at Candy, now confused.)

Candy: ...bet ya wish you had two arms now, huh?

(Candy then pulls out his second axe and slices Ignited Bonnie in half, dropping the top half as the demon goes limp. Meanwhile, Scott rushes to his family and hugs them tightly.)

Scott: VAL! KIDS!!!

Sam and Tony: DAD!!!

(Scott feels relief wash over him as he holds his children in his arms and even kisses his wife, delighted she was okay. But they broke the kiss when they realized one thing.)

Scott: ...where's Nick?

Val: T...they took him!!!

Tony: W-what!?

Candy: They took the baby!? Those sick bastards-!

(Candy is quickly silenced by loud crying filling the room. The lights go on, but are now a bloody red. And sure enough, Ignited Freddy steps into the room, his head now reattached...and he was holding a crying and screaming Nick.)

Scott and Val: NICK!!!

Candy: (growls) YOU SON OF A-!

Ignited Freddy: MAKE ONE MOVE...AND WE KILL HIM. AND WE WILL MAKE YOU WATCH.

(Candy slowly backs down, still holding his axe tightly.)

Scott: O-okay...please...please don't hurt my son!!! What do you want?!?

Ignited Freddy: ...WE WANT YOU, CREATOR...

Scott: W...what...?

(Ignited Chica then suddenly appears beside Ignited Freddy, growling.)

Ignited Chica: WE HAVE LACKED PROPER BODIES FOR WHAT FEELS LIKE CENTURIES...

(Ignited Foxy then walks in through the front door, scratching his hook against the wall.)

Ignited Foxy: AND NOW...YOUR CREATIONS HAVE BECOME OUR FORMS...

(Then, Ignited Chica steps down and uses her wirey tendrils to put Ignited Bonnie back together, and he gets to his feet.)

Ignited Bonnie: BUT IN ORDER TO KEEP THESE NEW BODIES...WE REQUIRE THE CREATOR...WE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO REMAIN IN THE MORTAL REALM FOR MUCH LONGER...

Scott: Y...you want...me?

Ignited Freddy: SURRENDER YOURSELF...AND WE WILL LET YOUR FAMILY GO...

(Val clutches onto her husband.)

Val: N-no!!! No, you can't!!!

Ignited Bonnie: IT IS EITHER HIM...OR YOUR KIN.

(Nick cries even louder as The Ignited grin, well aware of what the choice would be.)

Scott: ...o-okay!!! Okay!!! I'll do it!!!

Sam: WHAT!?

Tony: NO, DAD, YOU CAN'T-!

Scott: I-it'll be okay...it'll be okay...

(Scott slowly steps forward, gently pulling himself away from his family as he walks towards The Ignited. Candy is horrified as he watches the scene unfold, with Scott being given his baby boy. He looks at him and his family one more time before gently handling Nick over to Candy.)

Scott: ...just let them go...please...

(The Ignited suddenly begin merging into one being. A mechanical demon with all the parts of each other, several legs and arms, and Freddy's face being the head.)

Creation: DO NOT FROWN...YOU WILL EXPERIENCE THE JOY OF CREATION...

(Creation opens their mouth...only for Candy to suddenly swing his axe into the beast's body. Creation roars in pain as Candy swings his other axe as well.)

Candy: GO!!! RUN!!!

(Scott quickly grabs Nick and runs back to his family, but before they can think to run to the door, Creation then roars as they hold Candy by his neck.)

Creation: WE WILL NOT BE DENIED ANY LONGER!!!!

(Creation lifts out their many hands and black ooze surrounds the room as the lights flash over and over again. Candy thrashes and struggles, but it seems to be hopeless. Popgoes is watching the scene, looking at The Cawthon Family and at his friend.)

Popgoes: N...NO...NO!!!!

(As Popgoes' fear and determination to save them consumes him...his eyes suddenly glow green again, like back when they were interacting with MXES, but...different. And then suddenly, a voice began speaking in his head.)

Systems: Lux Mode Activated.

(Popgoes' eyes glow even brighter and his fur suddenly turns completely white. His entire body is glowing as he now becomes the new source of light in the room. It's bright enough for both Creation and Candy to notice.)

Creation: WHAT...?

Candy: P...Pop...?

Lux Popgoes: LET. THEM. GO!!!

(In the blink of an eye, Lux Popgoes suddenly punches Creation and the monster not only lets go of Candy, but is sent flying through the wall and into the front yard.)

Candy: ...holy shit...

(Lux Popgoes then teleports outside and grabs Creation by their neck, his fist sparking in green electricity. Creation quickly begins screaming in pain as Lux Popgoes begins ripping and punching off pieces of their body. The superpowered weasel then throws them down, with Creation desperately trying to crawl back into the house, only to be dragged by their legs and then spun around.)

Lux Popgoes: GO BACK TO WHERE YOU BELONG!!!

(Lux Popgoes then tosses Creation into the air and they are sent flying onto the street. Their body sparks and twitches as they struggle to get back up...only for a car speeding by to run them over, shattering what was left of them.)

Lux Popgoes: (panting)

(Candy and The Cawthon Family slowly step outside, unable to believe their eyes.)

Val: ...d...did you know he could do that...?

Candy: N...no...no, this is new...

(Popgoes then turns back to normal and looks back at Candy and The Cawthon Family, looking exhausted.)

Popgoes: Is...everyone okay...?

Candy: Y...yeah. We're good.

Scott: Popgoes...what the heck was that?

Popgoes: I...I don't know...

Candy: You don't know!? The hell you mean you don't-?! Y'know what? Discussion for another time...those demons are definitely dead now.

Popgoes: E-especially since they said they couldn't exist for much longer...but just in case...I'd head somewhere else.

Scott: Y...yeah...I think we'll just stay with family for a while...

Val: ...thank you...thank you so much...

Sam: Who...are you guys?

Candy: Call us Popgoes and Candy, kid.

(Candy then pulls out the portal gun and fires another portal. He and Popgoes smile and wave at The Cawthon Family before running inside, the portal closing behind them.)

Scott: ...alright, kids...let's go see Grandma and Grandpa.

(An hour after The Cawthon Family leaves...a large purple portal appears in front of the remains of The Ignited and the same mysterious figure kneels down.)

???: ...well...what remains of you might be a little harder to resurrect...but it's certainly something to work with.
