Chapter Text
In the dining hall, Willy's Wonderland, in the present, 5 mins later ...
"Ok! We're inside. Now what?" a balding, mousy-haired, stocky man said nervously.
He was gripping a metal golf club, and looking warily from side to side; keeping close to three other people.
They were: a young, brown-haired man in light blue ... with a wooden cricket bat. A young, black-haired woman in a purple shirt, with knuckledusters ...
And finally, a young woman with a blonde ponytail, in dull green ... wielding a wrench.
On arrival in Willy's Wonderland, and finding the main hall completely empty ... the Sheriff had made a new plan.
The would-be-heroes would split up into three groups and search through the other rooms of the closed restaurant.
Hudson and Lund would be in one group, and the others ... well, you get the idea.
So far, this particular group had seen neither hide, nor hair of the robots they were hunting down.
It was like Willy & Co had simply vanished into thin air! But then ...
"What was that?" the brown-haired man suddenly cried, turning to the right.
He'd caught a flicker of movement over in that direction ... though now ... there was nothing there?
The other people quickly turned and looked rightwards ... only to see nothing as well.
This only added to the ever-growing sense of paranoia in the group!
They could feel the menace, and underlying malice in the air around them ... which was definitely aimed at them!
"I-I don't think that this was such a good idea!" the blonde woman abruptly blurted out, quivering all over.
"That's an understatement", Siren Sara's child-like voice said behind them.
The group whirled around, but there was no sign of the fairy mascot ... apart from her eerie giggling ...
... And a faint sound of grating metal behind them ...
"Holy ******!" the balding man cried in shock, as a huge longsword suddenly swung into existence! The same sword that belonged to Knighty Knight.
It hit the brown-haired man before he had a chance to react, killing him ... and then disappeared in a flicker of movement.
"Where did THAT come from?!" squeaked the black-haired woman, completely caught off guard!
"ME."
The deep, tinny voice echoed around the hall, making the remaining people all jump in fright!
"**** this!" gasped the balding man, suddenly breaking away from the group.
The two women gaped at him in incredulity and shock as he headed for the exit door.
"I'm oughtta he—!" the balding man's words suddenly died in a ghastly shriek!
Knighty Knight's longsword had abruptly appeared again, and impaled the man before he could escape!
The sword was, of course, held by its owner ... who turned to give the survivors a cold stare.
"Where do you think you're going?" Siren Sara hissed, abruptly appearing to their left.
Before the women could react, the blue fairy savagely kicked the blonde girl down ... smirking at the cry from her victim.
The aforementioned woman scooted back desperately as Siren Sara loomed over her menacingly, raising two sharp carving knives!
Pure fear clouding her senses, the black-haired woman quickly backed away, and turned to flee ...
... Only to run slap back into Gus Gorilla, with one massive hand outstretched to catch her. By the FACE.
"Not so fast, little lady!" the animatronic gorilla said smugly.
He watched amused as said girl struggled and squirmed in a wasted effort to escape his grip.
"Let me go, you big, dumb ape!" she spat, in pitiful bravado.
The weak insult sparked a faint, past memory in Gus's mind. A very unwelcome one, at that.
"You know, you remind me of someone I used to know", the animatronic gorilla snarled, tightening his grip.
"Too bad for you!" Gus spat, as he then slammed the woman's head fatally into the nearby wall.

In the janitor's closet, Willy's Wonderland, at the same time ...
"I can't see **** in here!" a light brown-haired man groaned loudly. "Where's the light switch?"
His eyes narrowed as he squinted across at some paper rolls, which were on a bookcase in front of him.
"I tried it already", grunted his partner-in-heroics. A wiry man with darker brown hair, fierce scowl, and a hammer in his hands.
"Must be faulty ... the blasted thing keeps flickering!" he continued, lifting his gaze to the light above.
It was blinking and flickering like it was about to go out ... which was very odd.
The dark-haired man suddenly tensed, spun around to the right, and narrowed his eyes at back of the closet.
"Hold on ... I heard something back there", he whispered to the aforementioned partner.
The other man nodded, while subconsciously taking a paper roll away from the bookshelf ... without looking.
A quiet giggle instantly caused the two men to freeze up, and turn to face the source.
Their jaws both dropped as they saw the smiling face of Cammy Chameleon — now revealed behind the paper rolls.
"Surprise! You found me!" sing-songed the pink lizard, in a very childish voice. "Here's your prize!"
The 'prize', as it turned out ... to be bodily-slammed by the now-falling bookcase, pushed by the giggling Cammy.
The light brown-haired man yelled in pain as he crashed to the ground, half-pinned under the bookcase.
"You're a cheater! I didn't tell you to bleed yet!" the pink chameleon snapped, her mood rapidly swinging! "Where are your manners?"
Groaning where he lay, the aforementioned man heard a burst of raspy laughter from the other side of the room.
"He's a yokel, he doesn't have any!" jeered Ozzie's voice as a set of mechanical footsteps approached.
The two animatronics sniggered together, as the humans in the room both grimaced at the clear insult!
The light brown-haired man scowled and raised his head to refute it ... only to see Cammy walking over to him!
"You need a timeout!" she spat, pulling back one leg.
The poor chap didn't have a chance to scream ... before the chameleon delivered a vicious, fatal stomp to his head!
Now ... the dark-haired man, who'd been watching the goings-on with pure horror, quickly backed away from Cammy.
"I don't want any trouble!" the poor guy sobbed in fear, unaware of Ozzie creeping up on him from behind.
"Just let me find the exit, and you'll never see me again! I—"
The man's voice died literally in a choked gasp as the robot ostrich killed him with a snap of his beak!
Cammy, however, was concerned with another matter entirely ... concerning her foot apparel.
"Ewwww! I think I got something on my shoe!" the chameleon whined, earning an eye-roll from Ozzie.
