Michael's PoV -

     Evan seems nervous but he agrees to help anyway. Carefully the three of us exit our secret room. I go first to make sure everything is safe. Quietly I lead the two kids to a nearby area of the basement where we meet Freddy and Bonnie. "Hey, superstars," Freddy waves to us.

"Hello, Freddy, hey, Bonnie," Gregory hugs the two animatronics, Evan stands nearby smiling but not going so far as to hug the two.

"Gregory, you should hide in here so I can keep you safe," Freddy states opening his stomach hatch.

Gregory looks back at me as if asking for my opinion. I nod my head, "Good idea, Freddy."

    With that Gregory crawls inside Freddy. "Okay, are we all ready?" I ask.

     Everyone nods. "Let's go rescue, Ennard!" I smile as I lead our little group upstairs into the pizzaplex.

     We make our way to the kitchen. So far we haven't bumped into any of the other animatronics. We make sure the giant walk in freezer is in proper order, there's plenty of room inside and it's freezing cold. Great. Now Evan just has to lure the blob to us. "Evan, are you ready?" I ask my little brother.

     He's already in his child form and has been walking beside us this whole time, "I think so," Evan nods.

     I crouch down so I'm at his level. "Thank you, little bro," I gently hug Evan.

     Evan hugs me back.

     "Be safe kiddo," I release Evan from the hug and with that Evan walks away to try to find the blob.

     "So now what do we do?" Bonnie asks.

     "We wait, I guess. Let's hide somewhere so when Evan comes back with the blob it won't see us and suspect anything. I'll need one of you to be in charge of opening the freezer door, it's too heavy for this rotting body of mine. Then you'll have to shut it as soon as it's inside. We will wait a few hours so it's circuits can have time to freeze and then I will go in and free Ennard," I explain.

     Freddy and Bonnie nod. "I'll open and shut the freezer door, Freddy should just be in charge of protecting Gregory," Bonnie volunteers.

     "Thank you, Bonnie," I reply.

     Now that our plan is ready for action we look for a hiding place to wait. There is a large opening behind the wall and the walk in freezer so we decided that would be the best place for Bonnie to hide. Freddy finds a place to hide behind some nearby metal countertops. I search for a place to hide. As much as I hate it the only place I can see to hide is in one of the ovens. Luckily it's off. I can see out into the rest of the kitchen and I have a good view of the walk in freezer through the orange tinted glass. Now we wait.

Hours pass, I'm well passed the point of uncomfortable and cramped laying here in this oven. It will be well worth it though to have my Ennard back. I've seen chica pass by a few times with garbage in her mouth, she still walks like a zombie. Pizza bot roams around but doesn't seem to be doing any tasks.

After a few more minutes I hear commotion coming from nearby and heading this way. I recognize Evan's screams and cry's and I hear the echo of his shoes on the tile floor. I watch as Bonnie sneakily exits his hiding place. He waits till Evan is only a few yards away before quickly opening the freezer door. As expected the blob chases after Evan. I see Evan exit the back wall of the freezer safely in his ghost form. The blob, seemingly realizing it's mistake, tries to backup out of the door but Bonnie is already slamming it shut causing it to fall forward into the freezer. Bonnie quickly padlocks the freezer leaving the blob trapped. We all exit our hiding places. "Great job, everyone!" I smile.

I walk over to Evan's ghost who still appears to by crying, "Are you okay, Evan?" I ask trying to pull him closer to me but failing as my arms fall through him since he is a ghost.

"Yeah, I was just scared," Evan quickly transforms back into his child form and hugs me.

His tears wet my shoulder but I don't mind. I hold my little brother close, "You're safe now. I'm sorry, kiddo. You did such a great job, thank you, Evan."

After Evan calms down we all enter our hiding places again. Evan turns back into a ghost and finds Gregory inside of Freddy where he hides in his host. I watch the clock. 2 hours at 0 degrees Fahrenheit should be enough time to freeze the blob.

It's a painful but uneventful 2 hours laying in the oven. I check to make sure the coast is clear before exiting the oven. Bonnie and Freddy exit their hiding spots too. "Be careful, Michael," Bonnie states as he opens the freezer for me.

I quickly scurry in not wanting to let too much cold air out and possibly thaw the blob. The giant monster towers over me. It nearly fills the entirety of the freezer causing me to crawl and step around it, sometimes on it, as I search for Ennard. I find his mask first. Unfortunately his mask is high on the blob's 'back' so I brace myself to climb the creepy animatronic. Carefully I cling to its wires as I crawl upwards. It shutters a little letting me know it is still very much aware that I'm here. I feel it's eyes on me, watching me. It shutters again. Finally, I grab Ennard's mask but I'm sad to find that Ennard's not under his mask. He must be elsewhere in the blob. I wear Ennard's mask on the side of my head to keep it safe. Carefully I slide down the blob till I'm once again on the floor.

I search around the blob where I find many remnants of older versions of some familiar animatronics. I find part of the original Chica and Bonnie. Mangle and the puppet are also present. Finally, Circus Baby's mask and Funtime Freddy's mask are also there. I'm sure there are more animatronics inside of the blob, maybe that's where Ennard is. Carefully I move some wires trying to get a better look inside this creature. The blob seems to be fighting back as it's wires keep closing in on me. I guess I'll have to resort to harsher measures. I brought some tools with me in case I needed them. I began disassembling the blob. Removing its wires trying to create a path inside. The blob growls at me, it's voice is gruff and harsh. This thing is terrifying. The longer I'm here the less I think this cold will be able to hold it. I just need to find Ennard and get out, I remind myself. I'm hurriedly undoing wires as I crawl deeper inside it. The deeper I go the more 'alive' this thing seems to be. Maybe it didn't freeze all the way through. It growls and screams as I undo it's tangled mess of wires. The being shutters again causing me to trip. I fall into its wires and immediately they began sliding over me trying to pull me into it. A wire worms it's way into my open stomach cavity and then I can sense the true agony of this creature. It's like I'm part of it. Dozens of voices echo in my head like a hive mind. Some voices are that of murdered children while others are the voices of the animatronics themselves. All of the voices are in agony. I rip through the wires and quickly pull the large wire from inside me. With the wire out of me the hive mind is gone. Poor Ennard. He is a part of all that agony and pain. My legs are still wrapped in the wires. I quickly tear at them, I want them off me! I'm grabbing the last wire from off my calf. I'm ready to tear it like I've done the others when I notice it's feels different. This wire isn't scary or agony inducing like the other's. Ennard! I feel a connection with him again. One that I haven't felt in far too long.

I use my connection with Ennard to feel the wires around me, letting me know which ones are okay to tear trying to free him and which one are him. After many minutes of wrestling with wires I manage to free my lover. He's very damaged but he's free now. I gently place his mask back on him. Some of his wires wrap around me but like the blob I can tell the freezing temperatures are affecting his circuits. His movements are slow and seemingly painful. Regardless Ennard manages to slowly make his way inside of me through the hole in my stomach. I sigh with contentment. My body already feels better with Ennard in me though his frozen and broken form does make moving a bit hard but we manage. His left leg isn't functioning so now I'm walking with a limp but I feel stronger anyway. I manage to safely get us out of the blob. With Ennard inside me I can open the freezer by myself now. Finally, we exit to our freedom.

     Bonnie and Freddy greet me once again, "Did you find, Ennard?" Freddy asks.

     "Yes, he's inside me now! He's pretty broken so I will need to perform an extensive repair on him. He will be fine once he warms up and the repair is done," I reply.

     "It's almost opening time, only one hour till open. We should be getting back to our stages," Bonnie states.

     "But what do we do about the blob? The kitchen staff won't know what to do with it or they might get hurt," Freddy asks.

     "We need to burn it," I reply, "Does anyone have a lighter?"

     "I do," Freddy states as his index finger flips up exposing a tiny flame.

     "Great, here, light this," I hand Freddy a cloth oven mitt.

     Freddy sets it on fire. I let the flames build before opening the freezer and tossing it on the blob. I quickly shut the door as animatronic screams echo from the inside. "Great, now we can go. The blob should be burnt and extinguished by the time the kitchen staff needs in the freezer. They might have to deal with some charged coals but they can manage that," I state.

     Everyone seems happy again. We have our friend back, in my case my lover. Bonnie is fixed. Though the pizzaplex is far from safe it seems just a little safer without that blob lurking in the shadows.
