"Woah, it's creepy at night" Ashley quoted.
"Ok, everyone. Listen to m-" Kyle was interrupted by Ross hopping over the counter.
"Hey look! I work here" Ross brought the attention to himself.
"Why did you hop the counter instead of walking around?" Mr. Sundee questioned.
Before Ross could answer, Kyle butt in, "Because I hopped it once when you weren't here. Now, listen to me because I have something important to say!"
Everyone stared at him confusedly. Dar rolled his eyes and walked towards Randolph.
"Dar don't!" Kyle grabbed Dar's arm and pulled him back.
"What? You don't actually think I'm going to believe these things are alive" Dar tried pulling his arm free.
"Don't get near it!" Kyle warned him.
"Even if it was alive," Dar got his arm free and stood a few feet away from Randolph with his back turned, "What can it do to me?"
"Y-you!" A robotic voice crackled behind Dar.
Dar turned around and was face to face with the animatronic. He froze in place.
"Duck you imbecile!" Kyle shouted as he pulled out the purple taser.
Dar snapped back to reality and ducked behind Kyle while he pointed his taser at the robot which was reaching for Kyle.
Kyle pressed down on a yellow button on the taser and sparks flew out. There was a sudden click against metal before immediately following up with a bright flash of light coming from the animatronic.
Everyone watched in shock from a safe distance.
As the animatronic twitched and sparked, a black shadow figure came out and pounced on Kyle.
Kyle was thrown backwards and landed on his back, not being able to breath. The shadowy figure was eye to eye with Kyle while choking him.
"Kyle!" Ross yelled worriedly.
Once the animatronic body stopped twitching and the sparks were completely over, the shadowy figure disintegrated into a mist and flew downward into the floor.
"Oh my God Kyle!" Ashley approached him first, "Are you ok?!"
Kyle took in deep breaths and sat up on the floor, "I'm good now."
"Kyle, what the hell was that?!" Mr. Sundee approached him.
"Uh..." Kyle looked around for his taser that was near Dar, "magic?"
"I've never seen that happen with a taser before" Mr. Sundee exclaimed seriously.
"Ow!" Dar yelped.
Everyone turned their attention from Kyle to Dartron.
"Sorry, I tried picking up the taser and it shocked me" Dar rubbed his hand.
"Let me try" Ross walked up next to Dar, leaned over and tried picking up the purple taser. Like for Dar, it also shocked Ross.
"Eek!" Ross flange his arm away.
Kyle rolled his eyes, "Dummies. It's for me to hold only."
"Prove it" Dar insisted.
Kyle got up from the floor, walked up to the taser, and picked it up like normal.
"Enough proof for ya?" Kyle waved the taser at them.
"How odd..." Mr. Sundee squint his eyes at Kyle.
There was clanking sounds coming from behind Kyle.
"Another robot!" Ashley pointed behind Kyle.
Kyle turned around and saw Olaf.
"Well, you're right about it being a robot, but this is actually Tyler" Kyle turned back around to face everyone, "Tyler, the gang, the gang, Tyler."
"Hold up, this is Tyler? Our Tyler?" Dar made sure to get everything right.
"Uh, yup. Last time I checked" Kyle nodded.
"I suggest we go the office. It's safer there" Mr. Sundee interrupted.
"Yes I suppo-" Ross was cut off by the sound of the rest of the animatronics turning on.
"K-k-ky-le" they all stuttered at once.
"Kyle, why are they saying your name?!" Ashley turned to face Kyle nervously.
"I don't know, but we should get into that office as quick as we can" Kyle announced as fast as he could.
They all ran, including Olaf, towards the 'Employee Only' door. Kyle peered the door open and held it still for everyone else to enter.
When Olaf passed by, Kyle stopped him.
"So Tyler, you remember all the stuff from the Klub Ice heaven? Like the taser?" Kyle quickly asked.
"Y-yes" He answered.
"Figures, now enter!" Kyle pushed Olaf into the room before entering himself.
Kyle did a weak attempt to block the door with one of the door holders. The door started moving and banging noises came from the other side. Kyle yelp like a girl and went back to meet the others in the office.
Everyone spoke worriedly to each other. Olaf was let inside the office this time. Kyle sighed in relief, remembering he was shut off the first time.
"What's the plan now?" Ashley questioned.
"I know" Kyle got their attention.
"What is it?" Mr. Sundee asked.
"You all will help me get as close as possible to those animatronics" Kyle exclaimed.
"What?!" Everyone yelled.
"Are you suicidal?" Ross showed concern for Kyle.
"No, but I got a plan. Just trust me" Kyle tried getting everyone on board.
"Says the one who's got us into this mess. The one who has returned to this place every night to take on killer animatronics," Dar proclaimed, "yet you have the gut to call yourself not suicidal."
"That's because I'm not" Kyle defended himself.
"Shut up Kyle! You got us into this mess" Dar yelled.
"Did not!" Kyle yelled back.
"You.. kind of did" Mr. Sundee butt in.
"What?" Kyle turned to look at him.
"You released the Marionette that was in that room you almost killed yourself to see into" Mr. Sundee.
"I know I did! Stop reminding me!" Kyle yelled at Mr. Sundee.
"Leave the old man be! This is between you and me!" Dar made Kyle look at him.
"Old man?" Mr. Sundee gave an annoyed look, "I consider myself young."
"So what if I returned here every night! I just did it to get my mind off of Tyler and rid of my depression!" Kyle argued.
"So you chose the place Tyler died in, and got your mind off everything by worrying about animatronics coming for your ass. What a nice life choice" Dar said sarcastically.
Kyle sighed angrily, "were fighting just like before!"
"Just like before?" Ashley looked at Ross for any answer, but he just shrugged confused as ever.
"If you wanted me to kill myself from the very beginning, well fine!" Kyle walked towards the office door, exited, and slammed the door shut.
"Dear lord have mercy! He's going to get himself killed!" Ashley yelled in a fit of panic.
"Everyone calm down! I bet he'll be fine" Mr. Sundee tried calming everyone down, Ashley especially, "Kyle seems like the one who wouldn't actually go do something he says while angry."
"Da-ar" Olaf finally spoke in all the confusion.
"What do you want tin can?" Dar looked at Olaf.
"I ex-expected mo-more fro-om you" Olaf stuttered out.
"What?" Dar raised an eyebrow, relaxing his face.
"I s-saw every-rythi-ing" Olaf tried formulating a full sentence.
"And what do you mean by that?" Dar now actually looked concern.
"I saw..." Olaf let the tension drop from the room, "..you neglect Kyle."
"You spoke clearly?" Dar questioned before blinking and suddenly being surrounded by darkness.
"What in the-"
"I saw you start neglecting Kyle since day one he's worked here" Tyler spoke his words while showing flashbacks of Kyle and Dar together.
"And over a dumb secret."
"It wasn't dumb! Can't you see what secret he's been holding these past few days?! Working a night shift at a pizzeria where you died and killer animatronics live" Dar argued.
Tyler flashed on the memory where Dar first started being suspicious.
It started where Kyle told him not to peek into a grocery bag. Curiosity killed the cat and Dar checked it out, finding a bag full of butter.
"Did you really think a lot over a bag full of butter?" Tyler asked.
"Of course not. I didn't believe his cake making excuse" Dar explained.
"But you still kept it in mind. Thinking he was onto something" Tyler added on.
"Well..." Dar rubbed the back of his neck.
The scene changed and now it was Dar eavesdropping on Kyle talking to Ant on the phone.
"You keep blaming Kyle, even though the true cost and pain comes from you" Tyler became wise.
"What do you mean? He-"
"Let me stop you there. Are you going to say Kyle got the job, he kept the secret, he told no one, and he's the one who put himself in danger" Tyler interrupted Dar.
"Yeah, so it's his fault" Dar agreed.
"Let me remind you who was the one that got curious about everything. The one who checked the bag, who eavesdropped a friend, who started all of these arguments between each other. You" Tyler went serious, "You did."
Dar's blood went cold, sending chills up his spine, "...but he.."
"Sure, he got the job. But it's you who's causing all the bad tension between you two."
"..I never thought about it that way" Dar looked down disappointed in hinself.
"Now Dar, do me a favor and listen to Kyle. Help him get through his plan" Tyler asked him.
"As long as he can forgive me" Dar looked up to total darkness, "then I'm in."
With just the blink of an eye, Dar was back in the Office with everyone staring at him with Olaf.
"Well, what did you see?" Ross asked Olaf.
Dar noticed everything was in the same place. No time had passed.
"We need to find Kyle" Dar got his mind back on earth.
"Agreed! I swear if that boy kills himself, I would have to go down too!" Ashley said still panicking.
"He shouldn't have gone far" Mr. Sundee exclaimed, nearing the door and pulling out his taser, "I have a feeling we're going to be needing our taser out from now on."
Everyone took out their taser, besides Olaf, and got close behind Mr. Sundee.
He opened the door and made sure everything was clear before initiating for everyone to come out and follow him.
"Kyle!" Ross whisper-yelled, "Kyle!"
The door to the main area was opened. Through it, you can see all the animatronics were gone from the stage.
"This isn't good..." Mr. Sundee thought out loud.
"AH!" Ashley screamed and ran into the main area.
"Ashley!" Dar, Mr. Sundee, and Ross whisper-yelled at her.
"K-kyle. Mu-must f-fin-nd K-kyle" A stuttering robot voice spoke behind the boys. It didn't sound like Olaf's voice. It was more creepy and grotesque.
They all turned their heads to look at who spoke. At the corner of their eyes, they saw a shut down Olaf before seeing the animatronic Agustas approaching them from the shadows. It twitched demonicly and had distorted audio playing.
"Run!" Mr. Sundee demanded Dar and Ross.
They did as told and ran into the main area where Ashley was hiding near the stair case.
"K-k-ky-le" Agustas spoke in a distorted manner.
Mr. Sundee, Dar, and Ross went to hide where Ashley was.
Agustas looked around for which direction they ran. Instead, he sniffed the air for Kyle's sent. Agustas looked over to the stairs and slowly approached it.
Ashley was trying to relax her breathing while clutching onto her taser for dear life.
"It touched my hair" Ashley whispered to them.
"I-I foun-nd you" Agustas muttered as his shadow darken over them.
"Move!" A voice yelled over them.
Them four looked up and saw Kyle at the top of the stairs with his taser in position.
He clicked the yellow button and it fired at Agustas. Before Agustas could react or move out of the way, the taser strings hit his metal arm, shocking him.
The robot sparked blue until it blew a fuse.
"Thanks Kyle!" Ross exclaimed joyfully.
"I said move!" Kyle yelled again.
A creaking noise suddenly filled their ears. They looked back at Agustas and noticed he was falling forward towards them.
They immediately got up and ran out of its way so it could fall on the ground with a loud thud, filling up the room with the sound.
Mr. Sundee, Ross, Ashley and Dar were sitting on the ground, watching the powered off animatronic. Kyle stepped down from the stairs and looked at all of them.
"You're welcome" Kyle smiled proudly.
"Kyle!" Dar got up quickly and ran towards Kyle, hugging him to death.
"Holy shit, ok, hugs" Kyle was brought back from the sudden impact.
"Kyle, do you forgive me?" Dar questioned, still hugging Kyle.
"For what?" Kyle asked, a bit confused.
"You know, me being a total jerk to you, and wanting answers and all that" Dar explained.
Kyle's face softened, putting a smile on his face before giving Dar a hug back.
"Of course I do dude" Kyle proclaimed, "You're the only close friend I have now."
"Okay, sorry to interrupted the happy moment, but why was the animatronic coming for me?!" Ashley asked, slightly panicking.
"And how do you know it was specifically coming for you and not all of us?" Mr. Sundee asked her.
"It caressed my hair!" Ashley exclaimed.
"So..." Kyle swayed his arm around for her to continue with her reasoning.
"It smelled my hair too" Ashley finished.
"How does that thing smell?" Dar pointed at the shut down Agustas.
"So it either thinks your Kyle" Ross joined into the theory making, "Or Agustas is a complete pervert."
Everyone turned to look over at Ross after hearing his last theory request.
"Hmm" Kyle crossed his arms, bring one hand to his pink bearded chin, "Agustas does seem like he'd be the pervert in the Klub Ice group."
"No, we're not going that route" Dar told him.
"So these robots have smell sensors" Mr. Sundee thought out loud.
"If it smelled Ashley's hair and smelled the air to get to this position where we hid, then it must think Ashley is Kyle."
"Why would that be?" Ross questioned.
"Oh! It's because we smell the same" Ashley looked at Kyle.
"What?" Dar was puzzled.
"You know how every family household has a different scent?" Ashley started to exclaim, "And when you enter someone else's house, you think it smells weird because you got used to your own houses scent?"
"All the time" Kyle answered her questions.
"I think that's the smell it smells, our smell" Ashley finished.
"I'd think you put on a lot of perfume" Kyle tilted his head.
"No, not for tonight, why would I put on perfume for a night watch gig?" Ashley responded.
"Okay, so we figured out what's happening now" Mr. Sundee exclaimed, "We need to watch out for Ashley more and figure out what we're going to do next."
"How many animatronics are left?" Kyle asked no one in particular.
"Olaf is turned off" Ross yelled out first.
"You saved me from Randolph" Dar added on.
"And saved everyone from Agustas" Ashley finished.
"That means there's only Bruno and the Marionette left" Mr. Sundee summed up everything for Kyle.
"Ok, here's the plan" Kyle got everyone huddled up, "I need to shut down all the animatronics and the puppet to make sure everything gets back to normal."
"Someone should be in the night guard office and keep track of where Bruno and the puppet are. I believe Mr. Sundee has walkie talkies for us to use, right?"
"I have a limited supply, but it should be enough" Mr. Sundee answered.
"I only have three more uses on my purple taser, but by how things are going, I think it should be enough."
"Don't jinx it brother" Ashley told him.
"I'm not! Probably. Anyway, once I taser them all, we should be out free," Kyle finished his explanation.
"Ok, sounds good" Ross smiled.
"Let's do it!" Dar high fived Kyle.
At the moment their palms touched, everything lit up. The lights, the games, everything.
"Turn off the power!" Kyle yelled.
"On it" Mr. Sundee ran back into the 'Employee Only' doors to turn off the power.
"Where do we go now!" Ross yelled with his ears covered from all the music.
"We need at least two people in the night guard office!" Kyle yelled as well, "the rest need to have their taser and flash light ready to search for Bruno and the puppet."
The power was finally put back down to not totally complete darkness. Mr. Sundee came back with a bag full of something.
"I got walkie talkies to communicate" Mr. Sundee showed them the bag, "So what now?"
"We're choosing who stays at the cameras and who goes creature hunting" Dar caught him up.
"I'm obviously going" Kyle pointed at himself.
"I'm not getting left out of hunting" Dar added.
"I'll stay and help with cameras" Mr. Sundee volunteered.
"Yay! Monster hunting!" Ross pumped his fists in the air.
Kyle's smile faded. He remembered how Ross was killed last time by one of the animatronics and horrifically deformed into a robotic shape.
"Uh... how about you Ross, stay with Mr. Sundee at the cameras" Kyle pushed Ross next to Mr. Sundee, "kay?"
"Ugh, fine" Ross crossed his arms.
"You'll thank me later" Kyle patted his back.
"Okay?" Ross nodded, slightly confused.
"I guess Ashley will also go hunting so I'll pass out the walkie talkies" Mr. Sundee gave everyone a walkie talkie, but ran out when he got to Ashley.
"Oh dear, I don't have anymore" Mr. Sundee shook the now empty bag.
"What do I do then?" Ashley asked.
"Ashley and I can share" Kyle wrapped an arm around her, "and we could search together."
"But then we loose more ground for search" Dar exclaimed.
"No, no! I'm fine with going with Kyle" Ashley defended herself.
"Okay, into positions" Ross yelled, running to the office, Mr. Sundee not being far behind.
Dar darted out to another direction, leaving Kyle and Ashley alone.
"Scardie cat" Kyle snickered.
"Shut up" Ashley elbowed Kyle on his side, "Let's look for it."
'Psst, Kyle, do you copy?' Ross's voice came to life in Kyle's walkie talkie.
Kyle clicked on the button on the side to answer, "Read you loud and clear."
"Are we going into spy mode now?" Ashley chuckled.
"Yes" Kyle answered with no hesitation.
'Guys, I see something' Dar then spoke.
"Where are you?" Kyle asked.
'Library' Dar exclaimed.
'I'll flip to that camera' Mr. Sundee answered.
Kyle and Ashley ran towards the area where the library is. Once entering, they were surprised to see books torn up here and there, tossed and hanged in odd places.
"Holy shit" Ashley gaped her mouth wide open.
"I know right" Dar agreed.
"Which one could've done this?" Kyle took a step inside.
'Watch out!' Their walkies talkies spat out Mr. Sundee and Ross's voice of warning quickly.
Out no where, a shadowy figure with purple glowing misty eyes and mouth ran towards Ashley from behind.
Dar, out of instinct, grabbed Ashley's arm and pulled her out of the library's door view.
Kyle turned around to see what was happening, but only got the same glimpse of the shadowy figure he met a few nights back. It jumped on him and brought him down on his back.
His world flashed white and his vision blurred on purpose.
"Son!" A woman yelled, sounding faint over the ringing of Kyle's ears.
"He's my son!" The woman kept yelling and sobbing like she lost someone.
"Who is your son?" Kyle spoke in his head, his body not capable of moving his lips.
In fact, is body couldn't move.
"Wake up!" The woman screamed, "My only son! Wake up!"
Her tears dripped on top of Kyle, but he couldn't feel it. It was as if he's dead.
"But who's your son? Who died?"
"Mam, please let go" Another voice raised out from the woman's faint screams and cries.
"No! Leave me alone!"
"Please, tell me, I could help."
"Bring him back!"
"Mam, he's dead, you have to accept that" The other voice, sounding like a male, tried making her face reality.
"No... no! You monster son of a bitch! I will find you! I will find him! I will find who killed my son! And I will kill them!" The woman pledged
"She's being delusional, restraint her and get her home to her husband pronto" The man ordered.
"No, no! Stop!"
Kyle now saw the blurry image of a woman getting taken away, and her struggling for freedom.
"I'm sorry... I can't help like this."
"Please! Let me be with my son!"
The last thing Kyle saw was the woman getting dragged away by one hand while the other reached for Kyle.
"Seto!"
.
.
.
Kyle blinked his eyes and appeared back at the Klub Ice library. His vision was clear and his hearing was back to normal.
"Kyle! Finally" Dar reached his hand out to help him up, "That thing was all over you."
"What happened?" Kyle accepted his hand and Dar picked him up on his feet.
"Dar moved me out of the way and the shadowy figure jumped on you. Your eyes and mouth glowed purple and a mist flew out of it," Ashley explained.
"Scared you were being possessed, I told Dar to hit you with a book."
Right when she said that, Kyle finally noticed his cheek was hurting.
"Wow, thanks" Kyle said a monotone thanks and rubbed his cheek, staring at Dar.
'Are you guys ok?' Mr. Sundee asked.
"We're fine and now so is Kyle" Dar answered Mr. Sundee's question.
The reserve lights started to flicker on and off.
'He's coming' Ross warned.
"From where?" Ashley got behind Kyle for safety.
'From behind-' Ross was interrupted by a metal hand being placed on Dar's hips, then getting pushed very far way from Kyle and Ashley.
There was a loud crash when Dar hit a bookshelf. Luckily, the bookshelf didn't tip over, but he did knock down some books from it. The books landed on him which made him go unconscious.
"The animatronic is here!" Ashley panicked.
"Yes, it's here. Woooow, scary. But did you see him knock over Dar!" Kyle pointed at Dar.
"Ky-kyl-le" Bruno walked towards them, two glowing red eyes visible from the inside of his space outfit.
Bruno looked from Kyle to Ashley a couple times.
"Ky-kyl-kyle's?" Bruno tilted his robot head in confusion of why he sensed two Kyle's.
Kyle just went ahead and used his taser to put him out of his confusion.
Bruno sparked blue before completely powering off. It made a creaking noise as it fell backwards. It's metal body hitting the stone floor made a very loud thud that echoed practically everywhere.
"You did it!" Ashley hugged Kyle.
"No, I didn't" Kyle pushed Ashley off him.
"Huh? what do you nean?" Ashley looked legitimately worried.
"I still need to free the puppet."
The reserved lights then completely turned off, bringing darkness into the room.
Kyle and Ashley immediately turned on their flashlights.
'We lost power...' Mr. Sundee spoke, sounding disappointed.
"Did you guys use it all up?" Kyle asked, speaking into his walkie talkie.
'No! I swear, it said we had like 32% left before everything turned off' Ross spoke up.
"Okay, I need you to help us with Dar in the library" Kyle gave orders to them, "We'll search for the source of all this."
'Will do, but firs-' Mr. Sundee was cut off.
"Mr. Sundee?" Kyle called his name.
"Mr. Sundee!" Kyle started softly hitting the side of the walkie talkie to get it to respond, "Mr. Sundee, hey!"
"Dead?" Ashley asked.
"It's useless now" Kyle threw the walkie talkie over his head, "let's go finished the job."
They walked down the hallway to get back into the main room, but whispering clogged their hearing.
The covered their ears to get it to go away.
"Go away!" Ashley yelled, falling down onto her knees.
The whispers went down the volume for Kyle. He stared straight ahead at the kitchen/cafeteria room. His vision blurred and the world around him swirled.
Everything went back to normal when a hand grabbed Kyle's arm.
It startled him at first, but noticed it was just Ashley shaking in fear.
"Kyle, I want to go home..." Ashley complained.
"Yeah, you can exit out through there-"
"No!" Ashley tightened her grip on Kyle's arm. Kyle looked down at Ashley. She was still on her knees and basically bawling her eyes out.
"I want you to come with me" Ashley explained.
"But it's right there," Kyle pointed at the kitchen/cafeteria door, "I just need to tase the puppet and-"
"I don't want you to die!" Ashley whined.
Kyle went serious, "but if I don't free the innocent children from their own personal hell, they'll die."
"Huh?" Ashley softened her grip on his arm.
"I'm not doing this for fun Ashley!" Kyle shock his arm away from Ashley and turned to face her.
"Im helping trapped children from a infinite white hell with nothing to do but watch their animatronic bodies go and kill as many night guard as they can.
"But they don't want that."
Ashley stared awed at Kyle, not believe the words coming from his mouth.
"They chose me to help them. Me! Me specifically to help them. I'm not going to let them down."
Ashley wiped her tears away, "Kyle?"
"Yes?"
"Sometimes you always seem like the oldest and wisest one" Ashley giggled.
"Catch a puppet?" Kyle gave Ashley his hand.
"Let's catch a puppet" Ashley accepted Kyle's hand and was brought back onto her feet.
Then, they walked into the kitchen/cafeteria. It was dark like all the other rooms. They split up to cover more room in the cafeteria. There was cooking supplies scattered everywhere on the tables provided.
"Eeriee" Ashley swayed her flash light from side to side.
"I know right" Kyle agreed.
"Eek!" Ashley ran over to Kyle.
"What is it now?" Kyle rolled his eyes, slightly annoyed.
"Huge spider!" Ashley screamed.
Kyle took out his taser and started pointing it everwhere, "where?!"
"There! Ashley pointed her flashlight at its location.
Once Kyle's eyes landed on it, his eyes widened in horror.
"Ashley..." Kyle spoke softly, bringing his taser up to it, ".. I don't think that's a spider."
There was a thing with long legs and arms holding onto the wall, with a purple cape flowing on its back.
Before Kyle pressed the button on his taser, the things head turned, showing its large black smile, black soulless eyes, big red rosey cheeks, and two blue streaks coming down its white face.
It pushed itself towards Kyle's hand to get the taser out of his hand.
With its long sharp fingers, it sliced the hand that held the taser.
"Agh!" Kyle dropped the taser and grabbed the part of his arm that stung.
"Kyle!" Ashley worried for him.
The puppet turned her direction.
"Uninjured?" The puppet spoke in a distorted manner.
Kyle opened his hand to see where it hurt and how injured it was. He had three slashes, for every finger the Marionette had on one hand, on his wrist.
"Bastard" Kyle murmured, trying to rip his white work sleeve off, but failed.
"Come on! How come it looks easier in movies?" Kyle gave up on trying to rip his sleeve off in a bad ass way.
"Ahh!" Ashley screamed.
"Ashley!" Kyle brought his attention to her.
"It's chasing me!" Ashley yelled, running around tables, trying to loose it.
Kyle reached for the taser on the floor, but it wasn't where he thought it landed when he dropped it.
"Where is it?!" Kyle went full on crab on the floor, searching for his taser.
Meanwhile the puppet pounced Ashley to the ground and immediately started clawing at her. Her screams of pain echoed the room, Kyle's ears wanting to bleed.
Kyle gave up on trying to find it and chose to fight it head on.
He screamed and charged at the puppet. Kyle jumped over Ashley's body and grabbed the Marionette from its hip area. Once he landed the jump, he threw the puppet over to the actual kitchen area.
There was a windowless area that allows things to come in and out from the kitchen.
"Ashley, are you okay?" Kyle kneeled next to her.
"I-I'm fine, just a little jacked up is all" Ashley explained softly.
She had slash marks all over her body, each bleeding slightly while some a lot.
"Okay, uh" Kyle picked her up and sat her on a table, "Try to relax while I try and defeat the puppet."
"Sure, sounds fun" Ashley laid down on the table.
Kyle used his flashlight and searched for his taser, finally finding it successfully after a while.
"Gotcha."
A huge explosion can be heard abruptly not too far from where they were.
Kyle was thrown onto the floor and Ashley had rolled onto the ground as well. Debree flew everywhere, some items landing on or near Kyle and Ashley. Luckily, no one was hit by a table.
Kyle's ears rang annoyingly. He stiffly got himself up in a sitting position and noticed half the cafeteria was burning. Out of the flames, he saw the silhouette of the Marionette with a torn cape flowing about.
Kyle willingly pointed the taser at it and pressed the button. Expecting it to hit the puppet, his aim went off and didn't hit the puppet.
All he could still hear was the deafening ring in his ear. The puppet got on all fours and crawled up to Kyle slowly.
He panicked slightly but remained focused.
Once it was only a couple inches away, Kyle closed his eyes, pointed his taser for his final use and pressed the button.
When he opened his eyes, the puppet was staring him face to face.
"Wha?" Kyle shivered in fear as he looked at his taser.
The taser started to break apart in a glowing purple and fly up to the ceiling, disappearing once at the top.
"That was my last try..." Kyle thought to himself, looking at his empty hand.
His hearing was starting to comeback, finally hearing the cackling of the fire.
He could also hear the distorted laughter of the Marionette, knowing he has won.
Kyle wanted to accept failure for the second time. There was no where else to go. Just him, the puppet, and a unconscious sister.
Before Kyle could close his eyes and await death, the noise of metal clanging could be heard approaching closely.
The Marionette looked up from Kyle and immediately stepped off him in fear from what he saw.
Kyle puzzled, turned around to be face to face with the animatronics he was sure to have shut down. Out of fear that they came back to life to attack him, Kyle ducked his head in between his knees.
The clanging noise started again, but faster as if the animatronics were running. The clanging noise approached him then went past him.
Kyle, puzzled, looked up from his knees and saw the animatronics weren't after him anymore, they were after the Marionette.
Had he done it?
Had he freed the children's souls so now they can venture in and out of their animatronic bodies as they please?
That's when he noticed the ceiling was starting to crumble.
"Ashley!" Kyle yelled, managing to get up from his sitting position onto his feet.
"Ashley!"
He tried running, but fell onto his knees. His legs were weak. Kyle cringed in pain, noticing the palm of his hand landed on a nail. He pulled it out quickly and got up again.
He heard coughing coming from not too far. He tried speed walking to her location and saw her sweating and covered in dust and debree.
"Ashley! Let's get out of here" Kyle grabbed onto her arm and tried pulling her to her feet.
Sweat rolled down his face from the heat of the fire.
After a few coughs, Ashley finally responded, "okay."
Kyle helped her to her feet and walked her hurrying to the exit of the kitchen/cafeteria.
Before Ashley's body could completely exit, a hand grabbed her ankle and yanked back hard. Ashley gave a small yelp before she could fall on her stomach.
Kyle turned when he felt the grip of his sister vanish quickly.
"Kyle! Help me!" Ashley wailed as she got dragged back.
Kyle noticed a half burnt Marionette pulling her back with the strength it had left.
Kyle became furious, "Leave her alone you monster!"
Kyle was going to run back in, but forgot his legs wouldn't function for it, so he just fell back onto his knees.
A burning wooden slab fell in the way of Kyle and the door to the cafeteria.
"Ashley!" Kyle yelled, reaching out towards the flame.
"Kyle! Help me! Please!" Ashley screeched the most unpleasant noise he's ever heard.
"I-I can't help her.." Kyle's eyes watered.
"Please! Little brother!" Ashley continued to scream.
"I can't... I can't..." Kyle repeated in his head.
"Help me!" Ashley's silhouette appeared from the flames, but it wasn't her.
It was a burnt version of her, her skin bubbly and black, hair only on one side of her head, and her eyes dead with no emotion.
"No... no!" Kyle covered his ears to block out his sisters screams and closed his eyes hoping it was just a bad dream.
When he opened his eyes slightly, tears started to stream down immediately.
His sisters screams have stopped, but now he saw silhouettes of a woman holding the hand of the little boy.
Kyle didn't want to understand the message, he just wanted this nightmare to end.
The silhouette blew away as if made of ash.
Kyle just sat there, wanting the fire around him to consume him. He started coughing as his tears started to dry off.
A hand grabbed Kyle's arm and pulled him to his feet.
"Kyle! What are you doing? We need to get out of here" a voice spoke to him.
Kyle's vision was slightly blurry, but he could tell it was Mr. Sundee.
Kyle just coughed as his response. Mr. Sundee gave a worried expression before he started to drag Kyle to the front door of Klub Ice.
His legs gave out a lot as Mr. Sundee led him out, but to not be a pain in the ass he tried his best to walk.
Once they made it outside, Kyle managed to stand up properly as he took in deep breaths of clean air, even though he did cough in between.
Ambulance trucks and fire truck were on the parking lot, with busy news reporters running around and fire fighters trying to stop the fire.
"More survivors!" A man yelled up to the stair case of Klub Ice.
Nurses rushed to both Mr. Sundee and Kyle and helped them down the stairs to where their medical beds would be.
Mr. Sundee didn't seem to be in much of a jacked up shape, but still needed to be checked up.
"Sit here" A nurse told him, seeing if he could do it by himself.
"Kyle! Ashley!" A familiar voice screamed out.
Kyle turned to see the location of the voice. His mother ran up to him at full speed to be with her son.
"Kyle!" His mom approached him.
"Step back Mam" a male nurse stopped her by her arm.
"Kyle, where's your sister?!"
Kyle couldn't speak, slightly he just cried tears of loss. His mother got the message and became furious.
"I told you to protect her!" His mom freed her arm from the nurses grip and full on punched the light out of Kyle.
He was knocked out cold by his own mother.
