Chapter 3: Mask of V.A.N.N.I.

The three then come to as they cough up some water and see that they're now in Monty's Golf... what's left of it anyways.

"Ow... my head... are you girls okay?" Adrien asked.

"Yeah, I'm okay." Cassie said.

"Best if we keep moving before Monty finds us." Marinette said.

They then navigate through the wreckage of the swamp golf course when they bumped into a bot.

"Hi. Take a mask. Take a mask. Take a mask." The bot said hanging them three Vanny Masks as they took them.

"Thank you. Please enjoy." The bot said as it then deactivated.

"Weird, it's not a Bonnie Mask." Cassie said looking at her mask.

"Look at all the wires and stuff." Cassie said feeling it.

"Marinette, these masks look like..." Adrien started.

"Vanny!" Marinette finished.

"Who's Vanny?" Cassie asked.

"Let's just say... she wasn't a friend." Adrien said as he remembered her creepy laughs.

As the three put on the masks, they saw Monty's Golf completely different.

"Cool." Cassie said.

"Whoa... the whole place has changed." Adrien said.

"Like being in a different world." Marinette said when suddenly a small Freddy bear popped up.

"Welcome to V.A.N.N.I., the Virtal Augmented Neural Network unit. New users detected. Pairing occipital transponder. Stay calm. This won't hurt a bit." The bear said.

"Ouch! That hurt." Cassie said as they all felt a sting.

"Hey! I thought you said it wouldn't hurt!" Adrien complained.

"Do not be surprised by your surroundings. You are still in the real world, but Fazbear Entertainment has made it better! With these Security Masks, you three can locate and repair all the pesky security nodes that are locking down the mesh network in the Mega Pizzaplex. Call me Helpi. You can always count on me because it's my job to help you succeed in your new jobs!" Helpi explained.

The three friends looked around as they saw how different the Pizzaplex looked before taking it off when Helpi still appeared!

"Ah! What are you still doing here?!" Marinette asked.

"Hello real world. Lucky for you, the transponder implants allow me to communicate you wirelessly, even when your masks are removed. Just another Faz-mazing benefit of being a Class V technician. Of course, you will have to put your masks back in to get any REAL work done." Helpi explained.

They then put the masks back on as they look around for a way to get to Roxy's Raceway. As they do, somehow they were able to phase through some objects in their way.

"Cool! It seems we can go through some objects." Marinette said as they took the masks off again.

They then see another conduit as Cassie charged it up to open the door. They continued

"I swear that doorway was blocked." Cassie said as they phase through more objects.

They continued on as they on, they then found a computer station.

"What's that supposed to be?" Adrien asked.

"That is a Fazbear technician remote camera station. Lucky for you, it's it is already deployed and has an active power supply." Helpi informed them.

Adrien then activated it as he looks on the cameras and saw Monty. Unfortunately it was all black & white but useful never the less.

"These little boxes, represent the active security cameras in this area select a camera to see you when it sees." Helpi said.

Adrien flips more cameras as he sees how damaged the golf course was. He remembers how much fun he had with Nino before this place got destroyed.

"Please push the flashing "intercom" button." Helpi says to him as he pressed it.

"Gregory. Are you there?" Adrien said through the intercom as he saw on the screen Monty heading to that area.

"Hey, that's my voice." Adrien said to Helpi.

"Fun trick, huh? I created using samples of all your voices. Experienced employees use "intercom recordings" like these to direct animatronic performers to specific locations. You know, photographs and photo ops." Helpi said.

"Cool." Adrien said.

The three then head off as they put the masks on and continued to make their way through the golf course. As they do, they can hear how much of a savage beast Monty became. They pressed on as they heard the delusion of children laughing. Suddenly Gregory began speaking to them.

"Don't stop looking for me. I need your help." Gregory said.

"Gregory. Gregory. We can hear you." Cassie said.

"If you can hear me. Turn off all security. Turn it all off." Gregory said.

"Security? What are you talking about? None of this makes sense." Adrien said.

"Security nodes! Find them and turn them all off! I can't get out until that happens!" Gregory explained before hanging up.

"Gregory? Security? What the heck are those?" Marinette said.

They look around as they found the door, but it seems to be locked.

"The door is electrified. Somethings gotta be powering it." Cassie said.

"That door is in emergency lockdown mode. Check the AR world for active security nodes. Deactivate those nasty nodes, and the door should open right up!" Helpi said.

The kids together began to around Monty's Golf for any nodes in the AR world. They then found a floating glowing rabbit head connected by wires.

"That's a Secuirty Node. Find the child nodes first and deactivate them. Follow the data paths... for whatever reason, they react to your flashlights." Gregory explained.

"Wait? How did Gregory know we had flashlights?" Marinette asked.

"Lucky guess? Since this place is dark so one would assume they would have flashlights." Adrien said.

"I guess you're right." Marinette said.

They look around and found and deactivated the first child node.

Once they did, Cassie then used the Fazwrench to deactivate the Security Node. A cargo crate was then lifted out of the way. They continued on as they look for a way out and then crawled through a long tunnel. Once they reached the end, they found another Secuirty Node when suddenly Helpi reappeared.

"Alert. I am picking up an anomalous entity in the V.A.N.N.I. network. Please ask this entity to leave the area immediately. If that doesn't work, it be best to exit the AR mode and contact for 24 hour support line." Helpi said before disappearing again.

"An entity? What does that mean?" Marinette asked as they go to deactivate the Security Node.

They then go on to shut down the child nodes when suddenly a dark purple rabbit jumpscared them in the AR world.

"Guys! Get away from that thing. It's sending out some sorta of distress signal and Monty is responding." Gregory said.

They then immediately take the masks off. Once they were far away, it was safe to put the masks on again. They then found the first child node and shouts it off. They then go off to shut off the second. Once the two were done, Cassie then deactivated the second Security Node. Then all of a sudden a storage door opened and reveals a third Security Node.

"Seriously? Another Node?" Adrien complains.

"No time to complain. We need to shut it down to get to Gregory." Marinette said.

The three go off to deactivate the first child node, the second, then the third. Cassie then goes to shut off the last Secuirty Node. When she did, the music in the golf course turned on. Adrien checks the computers to see that the door was finally opened.

"Yes! Now we can go." Adrien said.

They then go to crawl under some wreckage to get out when Monty appeared.

Terrified, Monty crawls at them fast before some wreckage blocked him from reaching them. They sigh in relief.

"I figured it out. The signal was leading Monty to your location. You got out of there just in time. If you see it again, keep your distance." Gregory explained.

They then put back on the masks as they headed off to the exit.

"The Gator Grub door is open, you should be able to path to the Daycare through the security office." Gregory said.

"Got it." Marinette said as Helpi returned.

"Fazbear Entertainment is not responsible for potential AR traumas, or lingering effects of antivirus programs on carbon-base work components." Helpi said.

"AR traumas?! Antivirus?!" Marinette said in a shock.

"Well that's conforming." Adrien said in a sarcastic way.

They head down the area to the Gator Grub when suddenly the Purple Rabbit reappeared and with Monty there. Their vision becomes glitchy.

"SYSTEM WARNING: unknown entity has hijacked the security protocols." Helpi said.

"You think?!" Marinette said to Helpi.

Lucky the mask makes them invisible to the Animatronics so they managed to slip pass Monty as the Entity saw them and gave them a malicious look as they exit the place.

"Yikes. That was close." Cassie said.

Then they headed through the back of the place as they heard Monty growling and banging on a sealed door, creeping them. They then saw another conduit and Cassie charged it to open the security office. They then found another Security Node and then deactivated the child nodes and then Cassie shuts off the Security Node.

"There. Now we should be able to get out of here." Marinette said in relief.

They then go back to where they came as they saw Monty trying to pry open the gates to get to them but couldn't. He growls like an animal as he tries to get them.

"Looks like Monty can't get to us." Adrien said backing away from Monty.

"Let's get out of here before he can." Marinette said as the three head off to the Daycare.
