Fanz's POV:
Fanz: Wait, how did you know this would happen?
Conner: We both saw the message in the sky.
Fanz: Oh yeah.
Conner: Also, it's not a smart decision to fight an entire multiverse of you on your own.
Fanz: *Sigh* That's what Hero told me...
Chris: Hero?
Fanz: Herobrine.
Chris: Oh.
Fanz: (Nothing fucking worked out.)
Conner: Well, now that we're all here, we should figure out what our next move is.
Fanz: Well, if we're gonna be fighting a multiversal entity, we should have an evenly matched amount of energy.
Mangle: How do we do that?
Conner: I believe he means to find other versions of our friends, bring them here, and try to be stronger than that thing.
Chris: Multiversal travel basically?
Conner/Fanz: Yeah.
Conner: So, how do we start this thing?
Fanz: Well, maybe we start with your friends first.
Conner: Alright, I know two people that have a strong grasp on power. Trevan, and Chris.
Fanz: Who?
Conner: Tebotis95, and GlitchyGuy. And let me tell you about it, they got their powers from somewhere unknown to this day.
Fanz: Ok.
Conner: Anyway, I'll be right back, gotta go bring them here.
Everyone else: Alright.
...
Fanz: So, what do we do in the meantime?
Mangle #2: Well, I guess we can introduce ourselves better. Cause I don't think I've ever met myself before.
Mangle #1: True.
Mangle #2: What's different between us though?
Fanz: Well, you both were mangled up, hence your names. But she doesn't have a human form like you do, and she also tried to kill the other me when they first met.
Mangle: #2 Oh. That's not what I was expecting.
Mangle #1: Me neither. I already knew about the human form part, but I didn't think you'd act less firm.
Mangle: #2 What do you mean by that?
Mangle #1: Well, my Freddy's place was built because of a video game. I was immediately torn apart by kids, and I hated it a lot. So, when I saw Conner the first time, I thought he was the same as the others. I was this close to tearing his neck open.
Mangle #2: You say that so calmly...But my Freddy's place already existed since the early 80's. It wasn't getting very good revenue, so it closed down back in 1989.
Fanz: Woah...you never told me that before.
Mangle #2: I didn't?
Fanz: No.
Mangle #1: He never brought it up last year during their discussion.
Mangle #2: What discussion?
Fanz: It's a long story.
Mangle #2: Ok...anyways there was a game called: Five Night's at Freddy's. An indie game heavily inspired off of us, but it steered towards horror and mystery. I'm still surprised how much lore was created because of it. Anyway, our place got reopened in promotion of its 1 year anniversary, but that only lasted a week before shutting down permanently.
Chris: Oh, so that's how it happened! But why did it close down?
Fanz: Ooh...that may actually be my fault...
Mangle #1: Was it when you were locked in?
Fanz: Yeah...
Mangle #1: Weird...I'm the one more likely to cause an incident and yet you're the one that got closed down.
Mangle #2: I assume your place is still open?
Mangle #1: Kinda...It's open, but the others got permanently shut down and put on display. The place is really just more for delivery service at this point. But I heard Security Breach was gonna change that after its release.
Fanz: Oh you mean that new upcoming game?
Chris: Man I hope our world stays together long enough for that game!
Fanz:...
Mangle #2: Maybe a bit too soon for that one there...
Conner: Ok, I'm back. Everyone, meet Tebotis95, and Glitch.
Teb: Yo.
Glitch: Sup.
Fanz: Woah, this universe actually has a handful of people with powers!
Conner: I've noticed that.
Fanz: So, what do you guys do?
Teb: Um..well, I have the ability to control wind. I have flight too. I can also create nearly transparent shields.
Fanz: Can they be changed by shape and size too?
Teb: Yeah.
Fanz: And what can you do?
Glitch: I can use these glasses to bring TV items to the real world.
Fanz: Hm..that might be useful...but we still need a few more people...
Conner: Hold up, before you travel between universes, we need a plan for that too.
Fanz: Well what do you suggest?
Conner: I'm thinking...*creates radios* We could use these to contact each other while we're in separate universes. I'll start with universe #20, while-
Fanz: I could start with universe #3.
Conner: There ya go! So I'll go do-
Fanz: WAIT!
Conner: ...Hm?
Fanz: (I don't wanna do this but I actually need him too.) Hold on I gotta go do something else." *teleports away*
Conner: Ok...
Glitch: That was a bit unexpected...
Teb: True.
Chris: So, your name's Chris too?
Hero's POV:
If only he listened...Now I gotta go fix this on my-
*TELEPORT*
"HERO!"
Hero: Fanz?
Fanz: Look, you tried to warn me of what would happen, and it's my fault that I didn't listen! I really hate that I have to do this, but I don't have a choice to not recruit you too!
Hero: A team up?
Fanz: Yes, the same thing you wanted from the very start, but this time...it's on my terms!
Hero: Alright, so what's your plan?
Fanz: Multiversal travel. Me and my other self will travel the multiverse on both ends to find other versions of my friends to stand a fighting chance against THE MULTI-STRATOR.
Hero: Sounds good enough.
Conner's POV:
Mangle #1: So you're saying your name's not Trevor?
Teb: Oh my god we've been over this five times already!
*TELEPORT*
Mangle #2: Fanz? Hero?
Hero: Hey.
Fanz: Ok, now I'm ready to travel the multiverse! Mangle, both of you watch over Hero in case he tries something funny.
Hero: *sigh*
Fanz: Got your radio set up?
Conner: Yeah, you?
Fanz: Yeah got it. Alright, let's do this shit!"
Fanz's POV:
I opened the front door, so see a destroyed world with a blood-red sky. I walked through, and closed the door so no one else would dare follow. I saw nothing but dirt, and buried chunks of what I assume was a building at some point.
Fanz: This kinda reminds me of THE ADMINISTRATOR. Given on what he did to my other self"s world."
I continued exploring this new world, until I decided to test out my radio.
Fanz: Hello? Testing.
Conner: Hey.
Fanz: Ok, so it does work in other universes!
Conner: Yeah, see anything yet?
Fanz: No, I think this world's too destroyed to have anyone survive here. What about you?
Conner: Nothing yet, still too early for both of us to report it seems.
Fanz: Alright."
Hmm...what could actually be here anyway?
TIMESKIP
It's been a couple hours. So far, nothing different happened..wait, is that Mangle? I had to get a closer look at this, until I saw something I wish I didn't. It was Mangle alright, but she looked even worse than when I saw her the first time! Her limbs were flattened down at her wrists, her torso was pried open, and her head was missing!
Fanz: That's fucked up! Which version of me did this? *static* Hey, I found something.
Conner: What is it?
Fanz: I think I stumbled on a version of Mangle.
Conner: Is she alright?
Fanz: She's completely un-salvageable. I can't even find her head!
Conner: Holy fuck.
Fanz: What did you find?
Conner: Nothing here, but this world actually seems to be full of life.
Fanz: I think it's time we should check the next universe.
Conner: Yeah, there's nothing of interest here."
With that, I moved to universe #4, to see an actual living world. The location was the same as our house, but there were more buildings. I saw a Dollar Tree right next to a square of dirt. It looked burnt, almost as if a building used to be here. I continued walking straight ahead, until I saw something familiar...
Fanz: This must be my house from another me. Which one though?
???:...YOU!
Fanz: Huh?"
I looked back to see someone, with shaggy hair, a bloody knife, and seemed to be doused in blood.
Fanz: Who are you? (They look so familiar...)
???: DON'T YOU DARE ACT THAT WAY TO ME CONNOR! I FINALLY GAVE IN TO YOUR STATEMENT!
Fanz: Hey, I honestly don't know who you are! (This must be one of their friends.)
???: LIAR! YOU TOLD ME THAT TOM DIED BECAUSE I HELD BACK, SO I DID IT! I FINALLY KILLED WILLIAM AFTON!
Fanz: (Isn't that the name of purple guy? Wait a minute...) Chica?
Chica?: SO NOW YOU REMEMBER ME, BITCH! ALL IT TOOK WAS FOR ME TO DROP MY SENSE OF MORALITY FOR YOU TO ACKNOWLEDGE ME AGAIN!
Fanz: Hold on! I'm not the Conner you think I am! I don't know you specifically! I don't know what happened here! I don't know how you're the one with the human form and not Mangle!
Chica: MANGLE IS DEAD! SHE WAS BURNED DOWN WITH THE REST OF THEM...ALONG WITH T-TOM!
Fanz: (She really seems to have it hard) Who's Tom?
Chica: DON'T YOU DARE SAY THAT! I'LL FUCKING KILL YOU IF YOU DENY ANYTHING ONE MORE GODDAMN TIME!
Fanz: HEY! I'M NOT YOUR CONNER-
Chica: THAT'S IT!"
Fanz: (Damnit!)
She slashed at my face, leaving a small gash on my cheek! She tried to jab the knife at my eye, until I used a bit of strength to slap it out of her hand! I grabbed both of her hands, and forced her to kneel to the ground.
Fanz: ENOUGH! I am not from this universe! I do not know your life, your motive, or my other self! I came here, to find alternate versions of my friends because I have a worse threat than whatever happened here! It calls itself: THE MULTI-STRATOR! Okay?!
Chica: Alright, if you really want me to believe that, than tell me about what did to Derrick in your 'world'!
Fanz: Who's Derrick?
Chica:...You...said that like you actually don't know...What are you trying to do?!
Fanz: I already told you, I even have this radio here to prove my mission! *static* Hey, I got something to report!
Conner: What is it?
Fanz: I found someone new!
Conner: Really? Do you know who they are?
Chica: WHO ARE YOU?!
Conner: Is that them?
Fanz: She calls herself Chica. I think this universe gave her the human form other than Mangle!
Chica: What?!
Conner: Alright, bring her with you to the next universe! I haven't found anything in universe #19, so I'm also checking the next universe in a bit.
Fanz: Alright. *static* So, is that enough proof for you?
Chica: Hmm...we'll see...show me this other universe you two were talking about..."
Fanz: (She sounds...calmer...)
She got up, and I found a nearby door to open universe #5. We both went through, to enter a two story house.
Fanz: This is new...*static* Hey, something's already different in this universe.
Conner: Like what?
Fanz: There's a completely different house in the same coordinates as ours.
Conner: Woah. What does it look like?
Fanz: Well, it has white walls, a black round table in the dining room. There's a white wooden staircase in front of us, with black steps. Looks like a hallway up there too.
Conner: Are you sure that's your house?
Fanz: No, but we're gonna find out. How's your universe so far?
Conner: Exact same as the last one, empty world with a blood-red sky. Moving universes might not take as long for me.
Fanz: Alright. *static*
*THUD*
Chica: What was that?!
Fanz: Not sure, but it might be another one of us..."
We both walked up the stairs, to see a small white hallway, with a creaky wooden floor. The door on the far right was open, so that's where we decided to look. The room was...small. A white king size bed with a thick black comforter was on the right side, with a small brown nightstand. The bed looked like an absolute mess, while there was a rose gold Iphone 6s face down on the nightstand. A shattered mirror was on the left side of the room.
Fanz: That phone looks just like mine, so this might actually be my house."
I grabbed the phone, and turned it on for it to show a password lock screen. I guessed and put in my password to see it actually unlock. The wallpaper was a creeper face, and the apps were YouTube, Discord, Minecraft, Roblox, Skinseed, and 抖阴社区. I checked the time on it and it said: September 28th, 2021.
Fanz: September?
Chica: Odd, it's May.
Fanz: This universe must be 4 months ahead, but that mirror sounds familiar, and there's no way it just happened...
Chica: What?
Fanz: My other self told me about when he tried to find my universe a year ago, and one of them was a dead version of me right next to a shattered mirror. But there's no way in hell it's this universe...it all looks too recent. Unless...this world does already show a later perception on time, so it could be possible...
*Knock Knock*
Fanz/Chica: Uh oh."
*KNOCK KNOCK*
Fanz: Who's pounding on the door?!"
The knocking became louder and rapid...in an unnatural way...the door was eventually destroyed, as there was a figure, standing before us. Their head down, not moving in any way, no breathing could be heard. They started to cry quietly as they slowly looked up, blood dripping to the ground from their face.
???: You...didn't...help...
Fanz: That voice...
???: Supposed...to be DEAD!
Fanz: Wait...that dead version of me wasn't suicidal...He died because..OF YOU!"
They sharply lifted their head up, to show their eyeless face...almost as if they were gouged out.
Fanz: Looks just like me...but you're not!
???: Reflection...DEMON.
Fanz: Hm..The Gouged Reflection Demon-
Chica: I'M GONNA KICK YOUR ASS YOU EYELESS FUCK!"
She took the phone outta my hands, and threw it at their face. It seemed to work quite a bit as the demon was screaming in pain. They ducked and swiftly punched her in the face, with enough force to send her to the hallway! They looked at me, and manifested sharp glass shards, and sent them at my face. Given the slash already on my face, I dodged and dashed behind them, only for one of the shards to impale Chica's chest! I pounded on their head HARD, before they could even turn around! When they did, Chica screamed in absolute RAGE! She changed her form, tore off her hoodie, and used the same glass shard to stab their neck with it! They started to cough up blood, as if enough wasn't leaking from their face! I grabbed them by the hair, and watched Chica use all her strength, to punch a huge hole through their head! The demon fell limp, and melted on the bloodstained wooden floor in a black puddle.
Fanz: *panting* For a demon, They're not as immortal as RENNOC-HEY!"
A black hand grabbed my leg, knocked me to the ground, and dragged me towards the black puddle!
Gouged: Ṋ̵̹͓͙̭̼̜̭̭̊̾͌͠͠ͅĪ̴̢̱͒͗͠Ä̴̧̗͔̰͕̝͖͚́̄̾́̇̈̽̀̓G̸̛̳̞͈̺̝̝̩̫̤͋̅̌͘͠Ḁ̶̧̭̲͉̐͒̊̃͒̄͌̐͑͜ ̸̡͖̗̪͇́̐̑́̀́̓͗R̷̙̱̝̹͎̍̀̑̀͑̓́̚E̶̖̳͕̻̮̘̎̒͂̆͜ͅV̸̨̺̭̍̈́̅̽E̶͕̹̫̦̞̰̙͊͜ ̶̦̤̍̊̔͊̇̌̒̃̌̔H̸̡̀͊̅̔͐̀̅̅̒̚Ţ̶̠̲̘̰̠̫͙͛̾̈̑̓͊R̸̠͈̜̖͙̰̮̔͌̓͝ͅA̴̡̩̩͓͔̘͎̹̟̓Ë̴̦̂̍̋̏̾̕ ̵̨̥̰̮̆͒Ḙ̸̇͋̽E̷̯̮͎̒̀S̵̢̱͈̾̓ ̶̱̘̮͆̑̎̆T̷̨̠͍̼̪̔'̴͕͎͌̀̏̄͋͐Ṇ̶̨͎̥̿͆̑͌̉Ó̶̧̪̤̜̬̊̐̔ͅͅW̸̢̤̼̙̩͙͚̾̎ ̷͕͎́̇̉͊̽̓̓̑̀̕ͅŲ̴̦̲͇̬̠̣̘̥̯͒̀̐̈́̌͝Ǫ̸̧̘͎̟̃̒̉̑̎̃Y̸̡͗͗͋́͝!̷͙͈̺̦̍̔̓̒̇͌̊̋̎͘
Fanz: LET GO! CHICA!"
She quickly grabbed my side with both hands, and tried to pull me away from the puddle! The hand got stronger though, and it dragged as much of my leg as possible, until my leg snapped in two at the knee!
Fanz: *screams in agony*"
It vanished into the puddle with half of my leg, then the puddle vanished as well!
Fanz: *laying on the floor, with tears flowing*
Chica: Are you alright?!
Fanz: MY NERVE'S TOUCHING THE FLOOR!
Chica: Oh god what do I do?!
Fanz: DON'T, JUST WAIT FOR A SECOND!"
I used my power to fully regenerate my leg, back to the way it was before!
Fanz: *still panting heavily* Ok! I think..I think it's finished! I think it's over!
Chica: How did you just do that?!
Fanz: I'll tell you in the next universe, just not in HERE! *static* Hey! We're moving to universe #6! The dead version of us didn't kill himself! There was a demon behind that mirror!
Conner: Holy shit! You sound stressed! What happened over there?
Fanz: They tried to drag me down with them and tore my leg off! They tried to kill Chica too!
Conner: Is it gone?
Fanz: Yeah! But let me tell ya, I HATE DEMONS! *breaths slowly* How's universe #18?
Conner: The exact same as the last one. Along with universe #17 and #16!
Fanz: Wait which universe are you in right now then?
Conner: Universe 15. There is life here, but I see no Mangle, no Chica, Chris, or even Hero anywhere here! I'm heading back to universe #1. What about you two?
Fanz: We're still gonna check universes #6-14. But afterwards, we'll show up again.
Conner: Alright, I'll see you both there!
TIMESKIP
Fanz: Alright, so universes #6-19, excluding #15 are completely empty. And you're the only other friend I've actually been able to find throughout the whole multiverse. Yet I barely know anything about you.
Chica: Same goes for you. You talked a bit about your mission, but you don't know Derrick at all.
Fanz: Well, given that we have no more universes to travel, we can stop here for a second and explain.
Chica: Alright then, I'll go first in that case.
Fanz: Okay.
Chica: You already know that my name is Toy Chica, but there's a lot that my version of you did.
Fanz: I think I met him, but I don't know which one.
Chica: Did he have grey skin and wear a robe?
Fanz: Yeah.
Chica: That's him then. He wasn't always that way though. We used to be the greatest of friends, and Thomas...was the reason behind it.
Fanz: Who's Thomas?
Chica: He was the night guard of the new Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria. He wore an eyepatch to cover the animatronic eye that the older Freddy's friends forced on him. He also wanted to take two jobs here for money. He was a mechanic in his past. One day, he heard a child locked in the pizzeria after closing. He couldn't unlock the doors because they didn't give him keys to do so. That child was you. You were 10 back then, and were terrified of the animatronics. He showed you around to calm you down, and then we met you the first time. I wanted to show you the fun part of the restaurant, so I carried you around and introduced my friends to you.
Fanz: What about the human form?
Chica: In a minute. We'd spend nights having fun, until we realized a serial killer broke into the building. He wore a purple uniform, had black hair, and a sinister grin. His name, was William Afton.
Fanz: Purple guy...
Chica: Yeah, he targeted you once he knew your identity, but none of us were gonna let you die. We fought him out of the building, and years passed on with you and I being best friends.
Fanz: But who's Derrick?
Chica: He was your landlord. You and your mother didn't live in a good house for your whole life. You two lived in a poorly maintained apartment complex next to the Dollar Tree. Dollar Tree was your favorite thing to do, even though it was all you could afford. One day, you snuck out and came to my place, because I bought you the one Lego set you really wanted. We spent hours building it, until you had to go home and pack up for you two to move out. It's the last time I saw you so excited...
Fanz: Was that huge square of dirt where the complex was?
Chica: Yes. The next day, you fell asleep in class for hours, and I had to remind you of your new house. We arranged a time I should visit, but when I was there, you were crying...a chunk of your ear was gone...and you had a bullet wound in your leg. You threatened to burn the complex down because Derrick was only hospitalized.
Fanz: Wait...why are you human though?
Chica: Tom found a device, that-
Fanz: Created an entire human form from his DNA?
Chica:...How did you know that?
Fanz: Same thing happened to me with Mangle.
Chica: Mangle...She was burned down just like Tom, and everyone in the complex...
Fanz: You said something about that earlier...
Chica: I heard the news about the complex burning down, and I thought it was because of Afton, but when I saw no gauze on your leg, I figured out your intention to actually kill Derrick. I followed you to the hospital where you did it, but you caught me after the fact. We both fought about morality, first verbal abuse, then physical abuse. He told me I couldn't kill, so I hunted down William and killed him where he stood! No mercy, no remorse, NOTHING!
Fanz: *sigh* I know how it feels to kill. I don't feel good from it all the time, because I always HATED them more than I enjoyed killing.
Chica: That's not what you did here. You burned down the complex, killed derrick, and then caused genocide on anyone that looked at you weird. It's devastating...
Fanz: I saw something about his power when I accidentally took off his robe.
Chica: So, what's your backstory like?
Fanz: Oh boy, well...
TIMESKIP
Chica: You got torn open by your future self?!
Fanz: Yeah...I've been having flashbacks instead of dreams over the past few days, and it's an absolute hell...
Chica: Well, I guess I can say I know a thing or two about mental illness.
Fanz: All I wanna do now, is TERMINATE THE MULTI-STRATOR, and get my universe back! That reminds me...*static* Hey, we're coming back in a bit. There's no other versions of us out there.
Conner: Figured, I'll see you both soon.
Fanz: Well, *gets up* we should probably get cleaned up before we return.
Chica: True, my hair was an absolute mess for months!
TIMESKIP
Fanz: Ready to go?
Chica: Yeah. I'm ready.
Fanz: Alright."
I summoned a door, and returned to universe #1, to see everyone waiting for us there.
Fanz: We're back.
Mangle #1/#2: We?
Fanz: Oh right. Everyone, this is Toy Chica. She's from universe #4.
Chica: Mangle?
Mangle #2: Chica?
Chica: This...feels so weird. *starts to tear up a bit*
Mangle #2: We're both half human...I've missed you dearly...
Chica: I've missed you too..."
They both hugged each other, and let out their tears in their arms.
Chris:...
Teb: Oh boy...
Conner:...
Everyone else:...
Chica: Sorry, *wipes face* I've just been having a rough day today.
Conner: I think we all have. It's alright.
Fanz: Well, we have our multiversal group all together. What do we do now?
Conner: Hmm...given how late it is right now, we should all get some rest before we do this thing.
Fanz: I agree, that entire trip was exhausting.
Chica: I haven't slept in a week.
Teb: Holy shit.
SHORT TIMESKIP
Conner: Everyone got their sleeping bag? Pillows? Everything dealt with?
Fanz: Yeah.
Chica: Yeah.
Teb: Yep.
Glitch: Correct.
Chris: Yeah.
Mangle #1/#2: Yes.
Hero: I don't need sleep.
Conner: You're just gonna...stand there all night?
Hero: I'll find something to do.
Conner: Alright then...Goodnight everyone.
TIMESKIP
I woke up in the multiverse void again, THIS TIME KNOWING NOT TO SPEAK! I looked through the dots again, but I still saw one more version of me out there: Universe #20! He didn't have powers yet, but I fear that won't last much longer!
Fanz: *Jolts awake* There's another me still out there!
Conner: *twitches* Huh...What?
Fanz: *quietly* Don't wake everyone else up. I have one more thing I need to do...alone.
Conner: Well, I guess I'll see you in the morning then...Just be careful.
Fanz: I can do that."
I stepped over the people in sleeping bags, and headed outside. I summoned a separate door, and opened it to universe #20...
