Chapter 8: Connection Error

All of them ran through the two doors that led into the hallways which had their dressing rooms. The five of them gathered at the far end of the hallway, eyes fixed forward. A few feet in front of them, you make a left, and the two doors would be around the corner to leave the dressing room wing.
"What happened to it?" Aaron Z inquired, a hint of fear in his voice.
Tae nonchalantly shrugged. "I don't know, what did it mean by 'Pathfind Not Found'?"
Jesse looked at them. "Maybe it's a navigation issue? Couldn't find a path to walk?"
"But it was walking! It tried to kill us! Didn't you see those red eyes!" Robaire yelled from behind Jesse, who served as hisshield.
Tae blinked, then looked in front of them. They managed to run towards the hallway without being spotted, so he assumed they were safe—
But then they heard a slight bang coming down the hallway. Around the corner, they saw a red light shining onto the wall.
"Oh fuck..." Robaire mumbled as he hid himself behind Jesse more.

They all stared down the hallway, trying to catch a glimpse of the animatronic about to round the corner. They waited for a while, all they saw was a red light shining from the left. It shimmered for a bit, then they heard robotic clicking sounds.
Then, metallic stomping.
The light was coming closer to the edge of the wall.
They saw the animatronic's blue hand grab the corner, its foot slowly stepped into view, and then the entire animatronic rabbit rounded the corner. The boyband watched in slight horror as Toy Bonnie stared them down. The eyes on the animatronic were still glowing red, as the lights in the hallway flickered.
Tae and the rest just stood there, unsure what to do. Toy Bonnie stood motionless, not making any movements.
"W-What should we do?" a terrified Robaire asked, still hiding behind Jesse.
"Robaire, stop clinging to me," Jesse whispered loudly to his friend. However, as Toy Bonnie made a slight advance, its robotic stomp elicited a gasp from Robaire, who clung even tighter to Jesse. "Ow!" Jesse exclaimed, feeling the pressure on his shoulders.
Toy Bonnie's head started to twitch slightly. But not as much as it did before.
"It's doing that thing again-," Aaron Z said, as he backed up slightly. He looked behind him, but there was no way out. The only entrance was the two doors, and that's where this robotic rabbit was. The dressing rooms were next to them, but it would be stupid to corner themselves in there.
The animatronic twitched more, its mouth hung open as an electric buzzing sound came from its facial area. Robaire couldn't take it, and he fainted.
"Shit not again!" Jesse grunted. "He is doing that possed thing again?"
"T-Tae what do we do?!" Aaron T yelled at Tae, and shook him while he asked that.
Tae shoved Aaron T off of him. "Liam is losing control again; I have to talk to him." He started to walk up to Toy Bonnie.
"What?! Are you crazy?! It's eyes are red!" Aaron T yelled.
Tae didn't listen to him. He internally took a deep breath as he made his way up to the animatronic. As soon as he took another step in the proximity of the animatronic's sensors, it let him know.
"Intruder," It said. Tae realized this sounded different. Toy Bonnie had a high-pitched voice before, but now this sounded like a middle-aged man.
"You are not authorized to be at Fazbear's at this hour, initiating nighttime protocol-," The animatronic made a grinding sound as it crouched down.
"TAE GET OUT OF THE WAY!" Jesse yelled.
Tae's eyes widened, and then he leaped to the left, just as Toy Bonnie jumped at him. and Toy Bonnie crashed into the wall. Tae, now on the floor quickly turned around, only to see the animatronic getting up off of the floor. "Fazbear Entertainment is closed for the night," Toy Bonnie spoke. "Contacting local authorities," Toy Bonnie looked directly at Tae. A buzzing sound was heard coming from the animatronic.
"Connection Error..." The animatronic stayed there, staring at Tae. "Cannot connect to Hurricane Police Department... Connection Error..."
Tae tilted his head. "What?" He blinked. "Police?"
The same buzzing sound could be heard. "Connection Error..." The animatronic spoke again.
"Tae what is going on?! Why is it saying all of that?!" Jesse yelled.
"Liam! Are you in there anywhere?"
The animatronic made no movement. Tae tried to do some quick thinking. Then, he noticed the red eyes again, and what had happened before. "Wait..." He said to himself. "Jesse turned... the robot on... maybe this is... " Then he gasped as he figured it out. "Jesse!" Tae yelled. "How did you turn him on??"
"W-What?" Jesse asked because he didn't hear Tae fully.
"Jesse! The robot! How did you-," Tae got cut off due to Toy Bonnie slowly walking over towards him, very robotically. Tae gasped, then squirmed around it. He ran over to his other 4 bandmates but nearly skidded on the floor. Jesse grabbed him, and let him stand upright. "T-Tae what were you talking about?"
"You powered him on didn't you?"
Jesse blinked. "Y-Yes, when I was fixing the voice box. Liam told me to turn on the animatronic,"
"How did you turn it on? Where is the switch?"
"I think it's... the bow tie! You have to turn it!" Jesse said.
That's all Tae needed. "Okay!" He went to run over to Toy Bonnie.
"Tae be careful!" Aaron Z yelled.
Toy Bonnie had turned around and noticed Tae coming over to him. "Contacting Hurricane Police Department... Connection Error-," It spoke again. Tae ignored him, but then he saw Toy Bonnie was about to lunge at him again, Tae ran faster then as soon as the animatronic rabbit jumped, Tae slid onto the ground, and dove underneath the animatronic's legs.
Jesse and the rest jumped back with a gasp as Toy Bonnie crashed on the floor by their feet. Tae stood up, looked behind him, and saw Toy Bonnie on the floor. "Jesse! Turn the bow tie! Do it!"
Jesse's eyes widened and looked down at the robotic rabbit on the floor. He nodded, then quickly walked up to it, grabbed it, and turned the bow. It did not work.
"WHAT?!" Aaron Z yelled.
"Guys, what's wrong??" Tae called out.
"It did not work, that's what happened!" Jesse yelled.
"Wait, you had to like turn it to the left and the right or something!" Aaron T chimed in.
Jesse managed to do it. Two times to the left, then right.
The animatronic had been trying to get off the floor, but once Jesse managed to switch it off, the animatronic dropped to the ground, and the eyes turned off.
"Yes!" Tae exclaimed.
Jesse sighed and dropped to his knees. "Well... that's over,"
Aaron Z leaned on the wall. "I say we find some way to open the door and throw him in there,"
"What?! We cannot do that! What about Liam!" Tae snapped, as he walked back over to his friends. But then, there was a sound of clanking metal.
Tae's eyes widened, and he darted behind him.
"Oh great..." Aaron T said as he saw that Toy Bonnie was slowly getting up. The animatronic joints creaked as they turned, then, the animatronic lifted its head up as it fully was standing upright. Its eyes were pitch black with a luminous white dot in each.
Tae gasped. "L-Liam?"
The animatronic jolted a bit. Then: "Is... it working?" Toy Bonnie spoke, but its mouth wasn't moving. The speaker in the middle of Toy Bonnie's chest glowed from green lights and pulsed with each word that was communicated. It didn't sound robotic, and it didn't sound distorted. It sounded like Liam.
"Liam!" Tae yelled, "You're speaking normally!"
"You can hear me!? Oh my... oh god I'm so sorry about before! I swear, I couldn't control anything! Shit..." Toy Bonnie brought his arms up to his head, stimulating a facepalm.
"Y-You couldn't control anything?" Tae asked, tilting his head.
"Wait... That... That's Liam? Wait... but he never spoke good before as this thing," Jesse asked.
"No... Tae, I couldn't. I forgot that when the animatronic turns on, I lose all control," Toy Bonnie sighed. "I'm so sorry about that, if I could've not done any of that, I sure would've. I practically just had to watch in horror and prayed that Toy Bonnie never attacked you guys,"
"But... why was it even trying to attack us?" Aaron Z asked.
"It... must be nighttime back in my world," Toy Bonnie said. "The animatronics are on a timer, and designed to show intruders a lesson... plus, they're programmed with A.I. to map out the restaurant. This... clearly isn't the restaurant. This place isn't in Toy Bonnie's database," Then, He explained more, with all five of the band members just listing.
"Wait... oh crap, that's why it was saying 'Path find not found'!" Aaron T exclaimed.
"And it attacked us because even though that's the case, it was still trying to protect the pizzeria!" Tae said, nodding.
Toy Bonnie nodded, "Yes...," Then he sighed.
"What I don't understand is how you lost control," Jesse said. "How... does that happen?"
"Well, I don't have the energy to power the animatronic. Why I asked you to turn on Toy Bonnie, is because I know the only way to make the speaker work, is if Toy Bonnie has a hard reset. You have to reset the animatronic to make other attachments like that, fully work. If you're wondering how I can use the speaker, well, the speaker is different. I have just enough energy to use it, it isn't as much as the whole animatronic. When the bot comes on, the A.I rules over me,"
The rest were just listing. "Hm... I guess that makes sense," Jesse said.
"Are you okay, otherwise?" Tae asked with concern.
Toy Bonnie nodded. "Yeah- I'm-," The animatronic twitched,
"Uhh..." Aaron Z said looking at Jesse.
There was a blue cloud that erupted from Toy Bonnie, and covered the entire area. "Woah! What the!?" Most of the 4 town members gasped.
As the cloud slowly faded away, it revealed Liam standing there where Toy Bonnie once was.
Tae gasped. "Liam!" He yelled, smiling big, and he ran up to him hugging him tightly. Liam gasped at how suddenly it was. "Woah! Oof!" Liam grunted as Tae squeezed him. "T-Tae I can't breath...."
"Oh! Sorry!" Tae said as he let go off of him.
"Geez Tae, I mean we are all happy he's back finally, but damn," Aaron T teased.
"Ugh, shut up T," Tae said.
"So... You okay now?" Jesse asked.
Liam nodded.
"You looked tired," Aaron Z said.
"Well, is that surprising?" Jesse said as he turned his head to his friend. Then he turned his head to Liam. "And you look hungry, I mean... you didn't even eat much of the pizza earlier," Jesse.
"Well, no I haven't," Liam said. His stomach growled from hearing Jesse say that.
"Well, you can go out there and eat some, alright?"
Liam nodded. "O-Okay," He turned to leave.
"Hold on, you might need Tae to feed you again~," Aaron T teased.
Tae pouted and shoved his arm.
"Did you guys see that though?" Aaron Z asked as Liam was out of sight.
"Huh? See what?" Tae asked.
"The smoke... the blue smoke," Aaron Z spoke. "It looked like the same smoke that emits from Meillin.... and the steam that emits from Thomas when they both are gonna transform..."
Tae blinked. "Y-You're right... Huh..." He said.
"What... does that mean?" Jesse asked.
"I do not know... something is really going on and we need Mark to help us," Jesse sighed.
