9. Roy's Quest

Reina: Am I mean to Chris? She's lost her poor mind....

Annnnd I messed up someone's description.

Chapter 9: Roy's Quest

Roy

My name is Roy Phaere, and I was an average human teenager. Or, at least, that's what I was told I was when I first woke up in the Museum. I don't have any memories from my previous life, and I've been dying to know what caused me to be an animatronic. I reside at Nintendo's with several other people who remember bits of their past lives. Everything was normal - until I got involved in the Accident.

Chris, the newest Night Guard at Nintendo's, activated me a few days ago. However, a battle broke out two days later, and Chris is gone. Bowser and Ganondorf took over the Museum, forcing the rest of us to go into hiding. At the moment, no one can enter or exit the Museum, but I intend to find Chris as soon as I can.

I was sitting down, playing Blackjack with Dark Pit at a chipped table, and Marth was guarding the perimeter with Ike and Sonic. Link had been pacing around the old Freddy's restaurant for the past hour, and Snake looked about ready to smack him any second. Snake coughed, and Link looked up.

"What?" He snapped at the soldier.

"Stop pacing around, kid. You're going to create a hole in the carpet."

"It's not like I'm going to make the place any worse," Link scoffed.

Unfortunately, Link was right. Walking a hole in the ground was the least that this abandoned restaurant had seen. Most of the lights weren't working, and those that did were coated in cobwebs. Chairs were strewn on the floor, and the tables were broken in some form or fashion. The arcade games were neglected, and party streamers were crumpled on the ground. The stage had caved in long ago, and rust covered Pirate Cove. Some of the floor had mold on it, but Samus and Squirtle somehow managed to get the mold off. It was the least ideal place to hide, but with Zelda almost dying, we had no choice.

Rosalina emerged from Pirate Cove with Bayonetta. "I bring forth good news."

I perked up. "What is it?"

"We've stabilized Zelda's condition. She'll survive."

Link breathed out a sigh of relief. "That's good to hear."

Dark Pit smirked at Link. "Now you can freak out about Chris."

Link shot him a glare. We all know that Link cared a lot about Chris, but at the moment, everyone was concerned about Chris's location.

Bayonetta looked over at Dark Pit. "We have find Chris. There's no way that she'll survive on her own with Bowser and Ganondorf out there."

Snake nodded. "We have to go find her. I already tried looking for her status online, but her Facebook hasn't been updated, her Twitter is silent, she doesn't have a Snapchat, Myspace is practically dead, I don't know what her Tumblr account is, I don't think she has a Wattpad, she isn't a member of any other online forms, and the latest photo on her Instagram is of a motorized duck she built a week ago."

Pit, who had been watching Link pace the room, frowned. "Why would you build a motorized duck?"

I shrugged. "Because she can."

"How do you know she has all of these accounts?" Dark Pit asked.

"I merely typed her name in," Snake retorted. "I didn't hack Facebook to find her."

Bayonetta began to think. "It's possible that Chris escaped. Samus mentioned to me that the Museum had several escape routes. Or rather, secret entrance tunnels and a bomb shelter."

Link frowned at Bayonetta. "And how does Samus know this?"

"She 'borrowed' the architectural plans a few weeks ago because she had nothing better to do."

Snake stroked his chin as he thought this over. "It is possible that Chris went and hid at home. I mean, she does have summer vacation."

"Brilliant," Bayonetta replied. "Maybe a few of us could go to town and look for her."

"I cannot do it," Rosalina replied instantly. "My job is to watch Zelda."

"I have to keep up with the defenses," Snake replied. "And the angel twins will help me with this."

"We're not twins!" Pit and Dark Pit yelled simultaneously, but Snake ignored them.

I sighed. "I'll go."

Rosalina nodded. "That would be a good plan. You know what Chris' house looks like, so it would wise if you went."

"I want to go as well," Link added.

Rosalina thought this over for a second. "An extra set of eyes would be extremely useful." She looked at Bayonetta. "You should go as well."

Bayonetta smirked. "Very well. I'll tag along for the fun of it."

"Why do we have to wear this get up?" Link grumbled as he put a green beanie on. I smirked as he attempted to hide his ears under the beanie.

"It's so that we can blend in," I replied.

Link glanced at the mirror. "I look like a freak."

"At least you don't have to wear a wig," I retorted angrily.

Link was dressed in a green jacket, khakis, white t-shirt, and brown tennis shoes. His beanie was covering his pointed ears, and he wore black fingerless gloves to hide the symbol of the triforce on his hand. I, on the other hand, had to wear a black wig to conceal my red hair, a blue t-shirt, black jeans, and white tennis shoes. We looked a bit ridiculous, but this was the only way to blend in.

"You boys ready?" Bayonetta banged on the door. "I've been ready for an hour!"

"We're coming!" We both replied as we exited the room. Bayonetta stood there in a black suit, white dress shirt, red tie, and black high heels. She had managed to make her glasses match her outfit, and carried a briefcase in her right hand. In short, she looked like a CEO strolling the park on her way to a meeting.

"Let's go," she commanded. "We have a Christa to find."

🏣🏤🏥🏦🏨🏬🏫🏪🏩

"This is definitely not Chris's neighborhood," I told Bayonetta.

She rolled her eyes at me. "Of course not, genius. I'm trying to find the residential district."

"They're not called districts," Link replied.

The three of us were strolling down Main Street in an effort to find Chris. It wasn't going well, and I was beginning to wish that Snake could found out where she is when someone bumped into Bayonetta.

"Sorry," the girl replied when she saw us. She looked about Chris's age, and had long blonde hair and blue eyes. She was wearing a yellow dress with white lace. I felt nervousness radiating off of her like waves, and I instantly felt bad for her.

"Don't worry about it, kiddo," Bayonetta replied. "Accidents happen."

The girl smiled weakly. "Thank you, Mrs...?"

"Beatrice Ashworth, head of Ashworth Industries."

The girl's eyes widened. "Mrs. Beatrice-"

"No worries," Bayonetta replied. "I'm just visiting the city, trying to see if the high school would be good for my boys Chase and Cole!" To emphasize her point, Bayonetta grabbed Link and myself and squeezed us close to her, causing us to gag.

The young girl laughed. "The local high school has one of the leading academic programs in the state."

Bayonetta nodded. "Thank you ...?"

"Cassidy. Cassidy Childress."

"Thank you Cassidy," Bayonetta replied as she released.

Cassidy curtsied. "You're welcome. I hope you enjoy visiting the town."

We watched Cassidy walk off, and as soon as she was out of sight Link and I glared at Bayonetta.

"What was that for?" We yelled.

"Keep your voices down. There wasn't much else to say, other than, 'Hi, we're animatronics looking for a girl named Chris who escaped the Nintendo Museum.' That would raise several red flags."

We grumbled in response. "Why did the names have to be Chase and Cole?"

Bayonetta shrugged. "They were the first names to come to my head. And Snake also picked those names when he was building our cover story."

I shook my head. "It would have been easier being an average person..."

"Yes, but that's boring." Bayonetta replied. "Come. Let's go find Tina."

Reina: Christina Schmidt. She has several nicknames - Chris, Chrissy, Christa, and Tina. I feel bad for doing that.... XD

Anyhow, this is "technically" the last chapter I have written. There's one more... But it's a bit complicated.
