Ace finally finds Gregory in an unstable part of the building. She sighs and picks him up, ready to take hime back to the others. On the way back, one of her old friends attacks her. His code and programming are completely corrupted, leaving no trace of who he used to be. Ace puts Gregory down and hides him before facing off against the animatronic. They fight for a while before Ace manages to destroy him. She goes back to Gregory and picks him up, ignoring the damage to her left leg.
Ace is limping a little bit as she makes her way back to the others, and she's carrying Gregory. She had to destroy one of her old friends, but Gregory is unharmed. Her eyes widen as dust falls from the ceiling, and she shields Gregory.
Ace: "The ceiling is about to collapse!" She says as she starts running. She puts him down and pushes him out of the way as the ceiling collapses. "Run to the others, but keep your distance from Moon! He's not safe to be around-!" She shouts to Gregory before a large piece of rubble falls on top of her head, cutting her off. She stumbles for a moment before regaining her balance. She looks up as the others arrive, and she instantly glares at Moon. "I'll deal with Moon myself. He's not leaving this place." She says with a scowl. "Ever." She says coldly before grabbing Moon and dragging him into the unstable area.
The others hear the commotion and rush towards the collapsed area, finding Gregory stumbling out, coughing from the dust. Freddy is the first to reach him, scooping the boy up in his arms.
Freddy: "Gregory! Thank goodness you're alright. We were so worried." He glances back at the collapsed area with concern. "Ace, be careful in there! The structure is extremely unstable."
Vanessa rushes over, pulling Gregory into a tight hug once Freddy lowers him down.
Vanessa: "I'm just relieved you're safe. But Ace... she's taking a big risk going in there. And dragging Moon..."
Monty flexes his claws, looking conflicted.
Monty: "I know Ace has a personal grudge against Moon, but charging into a collapsing building? That's suicide, even for her." He shakes his head. "She's relentless in her pursuit of justice, but she needs to think about her own safety too."
Roxanne rolls her eyes, crossing her arms.
Roxanne: "Maybe this is a good time for Ace to finally get her revenge. If that freak Moon dies in there, it solves a lot of problems..."
