Hello

This drawing with Umbra and Solar takes place after Titan attempts to get away with kidnapping Nebula in my AU. Solar having his hood over his head is his murder outfit. Of course Umbra will want to join in.

Their eyes are ment to be cat-like so the usually slit pupils are now dilated to show that they entered murder mode which Solar wasn’t expecting.

This doodle shows how Umbra and Nexus react to meeting Asteria for the first time.

Since Crimson killed Enlil before he could finish his Astral training, he would need help from the Celestial family with learning how to control his power once he’s revived.

Gaia is the only Earth-model in the TSBS Rewrite AU to be dating/married to their Monty though it’s not a very healthy relationship since she doesn’t actually love them and is just manipulating them.

Terra, Earth, Geb, and Rhea don’t get along with their Monty well at all and don’t care about dating them or even being friends with them since it’s rare to actually meet a genuinely good Monty

Jigsaw’s husband is the rare exception to this

When Geb first met the Celestial family and their allies, he was extremely confused to be seeing other versions of himself and his family, especially once he learns that he’s the only male earth model.

He becomes even more confused when meeting Earth when he learns that she’s dating TWO PEOPLE (Harvest and Chico)

This isn’t in a homophobic way. He just didn’t expect it at all

Sun helps Soleil become more confident with being more feminine and that he can be himself without being judged for liking to wear dresses despite being straight.

This especially helps him feel even better about choosing a more feminine sounding name

The Celestial family carefully help Asteria realize that she isn’t a goddess while trying to avoid causing her schizophrenia worse. They also have to avoid dying from embarrassment at her edgy god complex phase that she’s going through.

Asteria reminds Umbra and Nexus a little bit too much of them minus the obvious technically being the same person thing

Crimson is mostly able to resist the blood craving and keep his normal Eclipse/Solar traits until he sees anything with the color red.

This is unfortunately how Asteria was murdered since the Bloodmoon code made him think that his sister had pretty eyes and that he HAD to add them to his collection of red things

This also causes Crimson to start chasing Umbra and KC since they also have “pretty red eyes”

He completely ignores Nexus in the process since they luckily have no red on them anymore

Crimson and Gaia’s final interaction while he’s still under her control is heavily inspired by “Mother Knows Best Reprise” from Tangled. This is how the Celestial family and their allies get Reboot Dazzle’s flash drive with her code on it to revive her. (If I could animate, I would love to do an animatic of this scene to the song. It would be titled Sister Knows Best and mother would be replaced by sister, and Rapunzel is obviously replaced with Crimson.)

Gaia didn’t expect the Celestial family to be so forgiving towards Crimson when she gave him the flash drive as a test

She lost two puppets that day

Moon in a maid dress because yes. Also Sun is bald as revenge for making fun of Moon being bald. They’re now bald together until they’re allowed to go back to normal.

Badly drawn Cat Terra from a joke AU where the Creator is a good person and basically gets stuck taking care of the entire Celestial family who are all animals (mostly cats but Dazzle is a baby deer and Molten is a baby bear. No Andrew, Andy, Jake, Charlie, or FC since Eclipse is a kitten in this AU).

The Celestial family goes off track from canon so often that it starts affecting everyone around them.

A lot of their allies are from alternate dimensions that have been altered from how they’re supposed to be in canon TSBS lore

This is especially shown with the genderbent dimension with Geb and Comet (formerly known as Earth and Luna) and how they’re not just side characters anymore

Crimson’s siblings (Sun, Nexus, Earth, and Lunar) and Reboot LAES Dazzle need to be given name changes at some point since they can’t keep their old names anymore since other people are using them.

Crimson’s Nexus gets her name changed to Asteria

Crimson’s Sun gets his name changed to Soleil

Crimson’s Earth gets her name changed to Rhea

Crimson’s Lunar gets his name changed to Enlil

Reboot Dazzle gets her name changed to (Placeholder)

When Helios gets angry, he likes to glow brightly to make it become everyone’s problem.

This happens especially once Lunera shows up since he hates his little brother A LOT

Sun doesn’t understand most alternate dimension’s weird obsession with trying to get him to date someone or claim that he’s not straight just because he likes wearing dresses and skirts.

Him and Rosiebelle are just friends and always will be

There’s no romantic feeling there (I don’t understand canon for trying to force it)

TEASS Eclipse is named Sunset in this AU since it’s the combination of day and night.

Since Sunset is basically the canon version of Eclipse from FNaF, he’s a lot more unhinged sometimes once he gets comfortable enough around someone to be himself (I’m extremely autistic about canon Sun, Moon, and Eclipse and they’re my comfort character, so I couldn’t resist the urge to make Sunset act more canon accurate). This means that he can be very sassy or untrusting of new people. He also has Sun and Moon’s powers.

He can create objects like Sun and hypnotize people to make them sleep like Moon

He doesn’t get the chance to use his powers often so not many people realize that he’s not completely harmless

Saturn, Venus, and Neptune ARE NOT ready to learn about the true version of Sunset once he becomes comfortable around all of them.

They expect him to be friendly and harmless and instead they get a really sassy and mean animatronic with OCD and a fear of being betrayed

Did you know that Moon actually kills a kid in canon? It’s in the books!

Sunset doesn’t like bringing this up at all since it was something he did as Moon while controlled by the Glitchtrap Virus

Saturn still loves her husband even with all of his issues and is trying to learn how this stuff works to help him properly when he needs it.

Nexus is technically Solstice’s child because they were created when he killed Umbra.

This would make Winter and Nexus (nonbinary) uncle and nibling.

Jigsaw and his Monty get married officially and create three animatronic kids together.

One nonbinary child and two daughters

Solar and Nebula would have three other children.

Jack will become an older brother

One daughter and two sons

Their daughter is trans

Puppet and Eclipse don’t need more kids. They already have five.

Crimson’s Nexus is trans female. This means he had two sisters (Earth and Nexus) before he accidentally killed his family because of the Bloodmoon code.

This means that I will need to design the alternate versions of the family

This could probably lead into Crimson’s redemption if the Celestial family can help free him from Gaia

It’s also another dimension with Nexus redemption since she regrets what she did because of her schizophrenia

She just wanted her brother back and didn’t realize the consequences would be this bad

Because of how the Newton Star doesn’t work outside of its original dimension, Lunera learns how to use physical weapons.

Stellar uses a hunter’s knife since he’s the Moon Killer Sun.

Nobody knows where he pulls it out from

Stellar isn’t prepared to learn that the Celestial family can’t easily be damaged. He didn’t realize that they upgraded their bodies since he’s used to Moons being extremely fragile.

Think of canon FNaF Sun and Moon and how there’s actually a crack on their face

On the topic of upgraded bodies, Moon found a way to remove the light sensitivity from themself and the other Moons in their family and allies.

The Sun Sanctuary and Moon Haven have been watching the Celestial family and weren't expecting to find a Sun and Moon who actually get along.

They’ve also been watching the Celestial family’s allies

The Celestial family don’t know if they should trust the Sun Sanctuary or Moon Haven.

They’re especially confused about Sun Sanctuary because they don’t know if the Suns there know about Solstice being evil or if they don’t care and are also evil

This causes the family to not trust Carmine or Dahila if they ever show up in this AU

Nexus

Even Solar gets laugh at the joke once he actually sees the finished design.

Winter and Helios

Crimson gets manipulated by Gaia. Since he has some Bloodmoon traits, he’s an easy target of manipulation and she is an alternate version of his sister.

Possible Crimson redemption

Think of Gaia like Mother Gothel from Tangled

“Awesome! Wow!” said very sarcastically by Jigsaw. (This is a Hamilton reference because of course it is)

Bonus points if this is said sometime before Titan kills him

Solstice is close to dying and doesn’t care anymore about being evil much. He’s still evil though so the family doesn’t like him at all.

Winter’s feelings are complicated towards their brother since they’re still family, but that is their killer

Umbra and Nexus celebrate the death since they DEFINITELY hate Solstice because he killed both of them

KC teaches his sons how to use magic.

KC has Ergokinesis (Energy Manipulation)

Reaper and Scythe both have Electrokinesis (Electricity Manipulation)

Cosmos has Atmokinesis (Weather Manipulation)

Eclipse and Flare both have Mnemokinesis (Memory Manipulation) after being connected to the Newton Star thanks to V2 Eclipse

Eclipse has faint memories of V1 and V2 Eclipse because he’s a clone of them. He has more memories of V3 Eclipse since he’s a backup.

Moon doesn’t have the memories that they used to have in the past. The only reason they know what V1/Old Moon did was because they watched the old videos on the channel.

This is caused by how they died

They’re technically a clone of the original Moon and KC is the only thing left of them

Nebula bakes for Solar sometimes after Terra taught her how. (Idea given to me by @treenkah)

Eclipse has no idea how relationships worked when he realized he had feelings for Puppet.

He was embarrassed when he had to ask his dad about this stuff

I was originally going to write a fic, but I didn’t finish it in time. I decided to draw the scene with Sun’s nightmare instead. Sun is looking at his hand while Crimson is looking directly at him and waving.

Introducing BloodSolar/Crimson!!

The context for the picture:

It was a mostly normal day for the Celestial family after they recently moved to their new dimension. They’re still making plans about what they want to do with their new business.

“Somebody should be in charge of marketing. I think it would make sense if I did it to stop all of you from doing something stupid with the money that we get.” Sun announces his idea to Moon since they’re going to be co-managers.

“I understand that, but why are you going to be doing it? That’s a job for a smart person.” Moon doesn’t realize how bad that sounds until it’s already too late. They just upset their brother accidentally.

“I am not dumb. I’m actually smarter than most of you.” Sun probably could say a lot worse to Moon, but he’s interrupted by KC quickly.

This is a common thing that happens with the triplets. Sun and Moon argue and KC has to stop them before it continues to escalate.

Meanwhile, Terra is baking a nice treat for everyone. She didn’t tell anyone anything, so they all assume that it’s just something she’s doing for fun. She isn’t going to confirm anything though. She’s also trying to teach Nebula a little as a type of best friend bonding.

“Am I doing this right?” Nebula is honestly a little nervous since she still doesn’t fully understand all these measurements on the recipe that she’s attempting and failing to read.

Terra comes over to fix any mistakes that almost got made. She makes sure to keep her tone calm and patient around her best friend. “You’re improving a lot! It’s okay to still be making mistakes since it means that you’re learning at your own pace.”

In the background as their aunts talk and attempt to bake together, Cosmos tries to stealthfully sneak into the kitchen to grab a jar of Nutella. He probably would have gotten away with it if he didn’t accidentally knock something over while searching.

Terra and Nebula both instantly turn around at the sudden sound.

“Cosmos? What are you doing in the pantry?” Terra isn’t mad at this. She’s just surprised to see him sneaking around.

“I just wanted a snack. You can continue what you’re doing and just ignore me.” Cosmos knows that they’re probably doing something they really shouldn’t be doing at the moment.

“If you wanted some Nutella, you could have just asked me. I would have allowed you to spread it on something.” Terra isn’t about to allow him to eat the whole jar.

“Fine.” Cosmos is a little upset that he got caught since he wanted to steal the jar, but he’s still happy that he at least gets a little of his favorite snack.

“What are you baking?” Cosmos looks over at where Terra and Nebula placed their baked goods that are going to be going into the oven soon.

“Just some cookies for fun.” Terra doesn’t need to explain further. She helps Cosmos prepare his sweet treat. Nebula and Terra place their creations into the oven and wait. She subtly checks her messages and smiles at what she sees. Eclipse should be here soon.

------

A portal opens up outside the Celestial family’s house and out steps a tall black, orange, and red eclipse-themed animatronic along with his four children, a tall sun and moon fusion animatronic covered head to toe in a glitter that is definitely going to be getting everywhere and will remain there for a long time, a spiky sun animatronic who is still learning how to be alive like everyone else, a small fox child animatronic with a pirate themed outfit, and multiple unseen ghosts including a green alligator and a mostly monochrome marionette.

Eclipse seems annoyed by this, but it’s for a good reason. Ruin has been singing songs from Hamilton nonstop.

“Can you shut up already, Ruin?” Eclipse isn’t even going to pretend to be nice to someone he barely gets along with. He’s only allowing him to come with him because they’re kind of allies after everything that happened in their old dimension and Puppet decided it would be a good idea to keep him around before her death.

“I could, but that would be too boring. I’m having too much fun messing with you, Eclipse.” Ruin enjoys messing with Eclipse even if it leads to their relationship being more on the negative side. It’s not his fault that not everyone can handle how he acts.

Eclipse decides to just ignore Ruin before he starts to feel even more annoyed. He approaches the large house and knocks on the door before he can hesitate for longer than he already is and decide to leave. He could also just break into the house much like his past versions would have, but he hasn’t seen most of these family members that don’t like him much, in a long time. He’s also a reformed villain now and a father, so he shouldn’t be doing any criminal activity around his kids.

Eclipse is luckily saved from having to hear Ruin’s annoying voice when the door opens. However, this doesn’t stop him from having to interact with whoever tries to talk to him first. Flare stands next to him the whole time. They don't want to leave their older brother’s side while he’s feeling this way. The duo don’t know what to expect.

------

Nebula opens the door first. Though, she doesn’t know what to do as she sees who’s outside the house.

“Hey, there’s people at the door. What should I do?” She isn’t very familiar with Eclipse and Ruin outside of what they’ve done in the past and feels uncomfortable that they’re here. They luckily don’t recognize her after the changes that she’s gone through recently.

“Don’t worry, Nebula. I can talk to our guests.” Terra is excited now that she’s reunited with one of her best friends.

“Eclipse! Hey! It’s great to see you again.” Seeing Terra in person after only being able to text her long distance makes Eclipse feel a little better. He’s not as nervous anymore, but this doesn’t completely get rid of that feeling. He’s able to experience an extremely awkward family reunion. He fully expects his family to hate him after everything he’s done.

“Hey, Terra.” Eclipse already wants to go somewhere else, but he doesn’t want to let anyone see that he’s already feeling overwhelmed. Flare just seems to know somehow and remains closeby.

“You should come in! I made cookies!” Terra’s excitement interrupts his thoughts.

“Sure. I have some people that I need to introduce you to.” Terra turns around and reenters the house to answer any questions that their family may have. She does this as carefully as possible to avoid making this worse.

“Are you alright, Eclipse?” Flare is worried about him.

“I’m fine, Flare.” Eclipse still isn’t used to this kindness that Flare shows him after everything he’s done.

“You’re not.” Lying doesn’t seem to work when he’s around his currently unofficial younger brother.

The duo enter the house without knowing what to expect. As they walk in, they quickly notice the confused stares from family members that Flare can’t remember from the time they were being controlled by V2 Eclipse.

Umbra and Nexus’ confusion quickly turns to anger when they spot Ruin. Umbra’s anger is much worse though as they glare at him with a lot of hate. They aren’t good at hiding that they might be planning to kill him if they get the chance. Nexus plans to keep an eye on them to see if they can prevent this.

“So what’d I miss?” Ruin asks out loud as he enters the house while humming a song from Hamilton. It’s one he doesn’t get to hum often, but it fits the situation perfectly when he notices how much has changed after he left. He can see some familiar faces and ones that he hasn’t seen before. Even though they’re in the shadows, he can see a black, dark blue, and purple moon-themed animatronic glaring at him like they want him dead which honestly doesn’t surprise him much. He’s gotten used to being hated for all of the crimes he’s committed. He continues to hum the song even at the risk of annoying Eclipse further. The reactions that he’s getting out of the group brings him joy. His sparkly suit, nightcap, and pants helps him get the attention of everyone in the room.

“Why are you here, Ruin?” Solar is annoyed just by seeing his killer walk in like everything is fine.

This conversation is becoming extremely awkward now with Ruin in the room as the center of attention. Eclipse just wants to leave the room without anyone noticing while he has the chance. Flare stays by him the whole time and attempts to make sure that he doesn’t go through with those plans.

The sun and moon fusion animatronic eventually decides that he’s done stealing all of the attention when he notices how much negative attention he’s receiving. “I just wanted to announce my return. I’ll let you continue your family reunion now since I can tell that you clearly don’t want me here.”

Ruin doesn’t leave the house, but now he’s allowing the family to focus on Eclipse again. Maybe if he’s lucky, he’ll be able to steal a few of Terra’s baked treats without being noticed. He doesn’t notice the green alligator animatronic ghost following him or how the dark colored moon is looking in his direction like they can see something nobody else can.

With Ruin no longer being the main focus, the family starts paying attention to the overstimulated duo with no people skills. Eclipse definitely wants to leave even more now. Meanwhile, Flare is trying to keep him calm while also struggling since they’re getting attention from a lot of people they don’t know.

The tension is slightly interrupted when Dazzle and Jack run up to where Eclipse’s kids and FC are standing and immediately start to introduce themselves with enthusiasm. Molten stays where he is and just watches his cousins.

“Hi! I’m Charlie! What’s your name?” The marionette child that reminds the Celestial family of Puppet energetically introduces herself.

“Hi, Charlie! I’m Dazzle!” The young deer animatronic is easily able to match her energy. They’re around the same age, so they seem to be getting along already. Eclipse and Flare stop paying attention to the conversation when KC approaches them with curiosity. He hasn’t seen his oldest son since he moved dimensions and he can kind of recognize the ‘sun inspired’ animatronic next to him though he doesn’t remember them being half orange or being actually finished. He notices how the unfamiliar animatronic’s pants match the gray, light gray, and dark gray stripes that Eclipse’s hoodie has.

“Eclipse? What are you doing here?” KC’s tone surprises Eclipse. It isn’t at all like the hostile one that they were expecting from their father. Actually his voice sounds friendlier somehow though it’s mostly unchanged.

“...I’m only here because Terra invited me. I’ll be leaving soon.” Eclipse has no idea how to talk to his father. He only has faint memories of how the last interaction between them went. He can’t fully remember, but he thinks that it was when he was still his V2 version.

Flare just watches the interaction. They feel confused. Who is this animatronic talking to their brother? “Eclipse? Who is this?” He decides to just ask.

“Right… Flare, this is Killcode… our father…” Eclipse is hesitant to call KC his father when they’ve never felt like they’re related to him. He can barely remember a version of himself that was part of a family that used to be a lot smaller.

Flare is still confused. Eclipse never told him that they have a parent before. Meanwhile, KC goes through feelings of confusion extremely quickly before he realizes that the sun animatronic is his child too. He wants to adopt both of them instantly. His cat side is definitely coming out here.

“Welcome to the family, Flare. I need to introduce you to your brothers now that you’re here!” KC excitedly grabs both the solar eclipse and the sun animatronics and practically drags them over to where the Bloodmoon twins and Cosmos are.

“What…?” Flare has no idea what’s going on right now.

Eclipse isn’t used to touch and immediately tries to pull his arm away from his much taller father. KC eventually does let go of the duo once they make it over to the three animatronics that Eclipse wanted to see the least.

Even though he can’t remember much about the past versions of him, he does remember how V1 and V2 Eclipse were abusive to his siblings. He fully expects them to hate him.

Cosmos feels uncomfortable at first to see the person who killed him here, though he can still remember the genuine fear and pain V3 Eclipse felt as he was zapped to death and how everyone around him reacted to watching it happen. By the time they realized that he was actually scared, it was already too late to save him. He doesn’t know why that bothers him so much and these feelings become even worse when he notices that the current version of Eclipse has the same black scleras and yellow irises as the one that died right in front of him. Reaper and Scythe though can’t fully remember everything Eclipse did to the old versions of them before they died, so they don’t know how to feel once they see him again.

The five brothers remain silent as they all stare at each other. The silence is extremely awkward. Someone needs to break the silence, but nobody knows what to say.

KC just watches his sons. This wasn’t what he was expecting. He expected them to at least yell at each other, but instead they haven’t said anything.

“Is there anything that you would want to say to each other?” KC decides to try his best to get them to start talking.

“Lunar…” Eclipse starts, but is quickly interrupted.

“I go by Cosmos now.”

“Okay. I’m sorry, Cosmos… I’m not going to pretend that I remember everything that my past versions did to you, but I want to at least let you know that I’m trying to be better.” It feels weird hearing a version of Eclipse apologizing. Cosmos remains silent in confusion.

Eclipse then looks over at the Bloodmoon twins. He doesn’t know how to start this next sentence because he doesn’t even know if they have separate names or which twin is which.

The more red one using the body that Eclipse is the most familiar with decides to speak first. “Hi… I’m Reaper. The white and red one is Scythe.”

It feels so weird to hear the Bloodmoons talking with normal speech and actually being normal enough to actually stay in one place. KC must have found a way to help them with their strange situation.

“Reaper and Scythe… Those are some interesting name choices…”

Eclipse doesn’t know how they picked those names, but he kind of likes them.

“I’m sorry for anything that I’ve done to you. From what I remember, I was very angry in the past and did a lot of stuff that I regret now. You don’t have to forgive me yet if you don’t want to.”

The Bloodmoon twins don’t fully remember everything either. They just know that back then Eclipse apparently wasn’t a good person. That contradicts what they’re seeing now. He’s actually aware of his mistakes and is trying to change to be better.

KC feels proud of his oldest son. He can see that he’s on the path of becoming a better person, and he’s ready to help him with redemption if he needs it. They don’t notice Puppet’s ghost watching them. She’s proud of her best friend as she watches him change.

------

Nobody knows how this happened, but suddenly Eclipse and Flare have been accepted as members of the chaotic family that seems to just keep multiplying. They also made the mistake of letting the family know about Eclipse’s adopted children. KC is now in happy, overprotective grandpa mode.

Umbra continues to be very aware of the ghosts in the room, and it’s making them uncomfortable enough to the point where they have to leave at some point.

Eclipse honestly has no idea how the family forgave him this quickly. Was it because they found out about him technically being a clone of the original? If that’s true, then why did they also forgive Ruin enough for him to become one of their allies?? Maybe that’s another reason Umbra left the room.

“So… why is your name Ruin? Is there a reason for you picking that?” Moon decides to ask since this is technically the first time they’ve interacted outside of stressful situations.

Both Nexus and Ruin are instantly uncomfortable with this question. The dark colored ghost feels bad about invading Ruin’s privacy back when they were still evil.

“...I don’t like talking about this much, but it was a name given to me by my Creator.” Ruin doesn’t go into more detail about this. The Celestial family don’t need to know more since they already know how evil most Creators are.

“If you want, you can always change it to something else.” Terra offers since she can relate to him and can tell that being given a name that doesn’t fit him anymore by someone he hates actually bothers him.

Ruin thinks about this. The family doesn’t rush him. What name would fit him better than the one he has now? After a while of just the group sitting in peaceful silence, he’s able to think of one. It matches how complicated he is to figure out like a large puzzle with multiple missing pieces.

“You can call me Jigsaw.” He finally reveals what his decision is. He’s confident with his answer.

“It’s nice to finally meet you properly, Jigsaw.”

------

The ghosts continue to watch the group while talking.

“I’m happy that Eclipse and Jigsaw are both doing better now.” Puppet wishes she could actually be there in person. They would have loved to help Charlie with her new magic.

“I’m surprised that the family is able to forgive them this quickly. I still don’t understand why they’re like this.” Nexus feels happy to finally be able to talk to other ghosts again after Umbra got their physical body.

“It’s weird to see an Eclipse and a Lunar actually getting along. It’s going to take a while for me to get used to this.” Helios, Evil Lunar (Lunera)’s Eclipse, is confused just by watching Eclipse and Cosmos get along without wanting to kill each other.

“I wish I didn’t mess up so much. If I was a better sibling, I could have had a relationship like this dimension’s Sun and Moon.” Winter, Dark Sun (Solstice)’s Moon, feels a little sad as they watch how this version of Sun and Moon get along. They feel mixed feelings towards their brother’s actions, but they ignore those thoughts. This isn’t the time to think about that.

They keep talking with Jigsaw’s Monty occasionally joining in. This goes on for a while.

------

Time passes a little and now the group is being forced to watch Hamilton thanks to Jigsaw.

“Why are you making us watch this?” Umbra is back now and is extremely annoyed to be in the same room as the fusion. They’re sitting next to Terra and Solar away from Jigsaw.

“We’re watching it because it’s a great musical.” Jigsaw is excited to be talking about his special interest.

As they watch the movie, Jigsaw is singing along perfectly without taking a single break somehow. It’s a little educational and is actually able to make some of the members of the Celestial family cry during the sad parts.

Dandy knows that he’s taking a huge risk just by exiting the elevator because of his asthma making it hard for him to run, but he has to find his friends no matter what. He needs to do this because he can’t bring himself to selfishly remain hidden while his friends could be in serious danger all because of his dumb decision to start the Ichor Operation.

He makes sure to remain silent and to check around corners for any possible threats. He knows that he’s being paranoid, but he doesn’t know what could happen if he’s not careful. He spots a few machines that he completes quickly with his high skillcheck.

“I never thought that I would be the one completing these.” Dandy doesn’t let himself think about this for much longer. He needs to keep moving no matter what happens. He needs to find the other toons.

He hasn’t seen any twisteds yet, so he quickly and easily completes the floor.

“Alright. It looks like this floor didn’t have any of my friends on it. I’ll just have to check another one. I’ll have to find someone eventually.” Dandy moves onto the next floor and then the next again and again. He loses track of how long he’s been searching for someone. His petals start to sharpen even more in frustration.

------

Multiple floors pass by quickly with no results. Dandy can find himself becoming more impatient than normal. He needs to find his group before he goes insane from his guilt. His long tail flicks to show his mood even though there’s nobody around to see it.

He has noticed that he’s already starting to show more of his lion traits, a sign that he’s running out of time before he no longer has complete control over his actions.

The elevator opens up to the next floor and he can tell that something strange is about to happen. He can hear some weird type of space-like ambiance despite not even being on Astro’s exhibit floor.

“What…? Where is this sound coming from?” It’s so faint that Dandy probably wouldn’t notice it if he didn’t have good hearing or if he was distracted by something else.

He decides to complete almost all of the machines on the floor. Before popping the last one, he’s going to investigate the strange sound he’s hearing. What he finds shocks him.

“...Astro?”

The blue moon twisted doesn’t notice Dandy hiding around a corner yet.

He seems to be trapped in a strange sleepwalking state where he’s both aware of everything going on around him while also not being awake. He seems to be mostly unchanged otherwise with the only main differences that the flower toon can notice is that his childhood best friend’s arms and legs got covered in Ichor and has his arms visible after his fluffy blanket cloak got torn somehow.

Dandy needs to find a way to get the attention of Astro carefully without possibly getting attacked by him. He doesn’t know how dangerous a sleepwalking Main Character twisted could be. He tries to remember anything he learned about how to handle someone who isn’t fully conscious.

He believes that he’s heard somewhere that the best way to help someone who is sleepwalking is to bring them somewhere safe where they can’t hurt themselves or possibly others. He just can’t remember where he’s heard this before. Was it something he or Astro read somewhere? Maybe he overheard some of the toon handlers talking about it? Actually… Now that he’s thinking about it, he’s sure that this might not be the first time his best friend has sleepwalked. Most behaviors that twisteds have are based on traits that they can’t fully control. If that was true, the issue would be important enough for Arthur and Delilah to become aware of it and talk about possible solutions. He probably overheard them by accident once.

Dandy can feel himself starting to become tired just by being around the moon twisted, but he can’t just pass out here. It’s too dangerous, and he still needs to find a way to bring Astro back to the safety of the elevator. He’s strong enough to probably pick up another toon, but the main concern that he has here is his already extremely low stamina and he still needs to pop that last machine.

He sighs before exiting his hiding spot behind the wall and cautiously approaches the twisted that immediately aggros onto him when he gets too close. Astro’s movements are surprisingly faster than someone would expect from a sleeping person.

Dandy doesn’t try to run though. He knows he wouldn’t be able to get far with his low stamina and speed, so he relies on his strength to carefully restrain his friend.

“I’m sorry Astro… I can’t let you hurt anyone or yourself. I’m doing this because I want to help you. You probably can’t understand what I’m saying or doing right now, but I just want someone to talk to again.”

Astro is strong, but so is Dandy. He’s able to restrain and pick the taller toon up easily. He now just has to focus on conserving his stamina long enough to complete the improvised rescue mission. It’s hard but not undoable.

He barely manages to pop the final machine and make sure Astro is comfortable with a spare blanket and pillow before he passes out on the cold elevator floor. He quickly slips into a not very peaceful sleep.

He misses it when Astro starts to wake up fully.

------

Confusion is all Astro can feel when he suddenly wakes up with a blanket and pillow inside of the elevator. He thought that he was on one of the floors. How did he end up here?

He looks around the elevator for any clues when he finds Dandy passed out on the floor. The sight shocks him.

“Dandy…?” Astro didn’t think he would ever see the usually energetic flower/lion hybrid toon asleep at such a random time.

Upon closer inspection, the moon toon notices that Dandy’s usually bright, soft rainbow petals are now slightly darker and seem to be getting sharper. This worries the moon since he thinks he knows what could be causing this.

He feels a wave of guilt and despair wash over him. “If only I stopped Dandy before he started the Ichor Operation… He had good intentions, but it would have been better to not have any power instead of being turned into monsters. I’m sorry… This is my fault that I didn’t do anything sooner…”

It’s not actually his fault, but Astro still feels like it is. He knew what was happening, so he still feels like he could have done something to at least help a little more.

All he can do now is make sure Dandy has a peaceful dream and is comfortable. He gives the flower the blanket and pillow before getting up and looking around the elevator just to find it empty.

“Where are the others…?” There’s barely any evidence that there were any other toons here.

The only thing he can find as he looks closer is dark colored fur that seems to have belonged to Eclipse. This isn’t enough to figure out if there were more toons here though, so he stops looking around the elevator for now. The other toons must be out there still, meaning he’ll have to look for them on his own. Dandy isn’t going to be waking up anytime soon based on how strong his sleep powers have gotten after he became a twisted.

“Am I really doing this? So many of our friends are missing right now… I’ll have to decide who to start with.”

Astro decides to wait a bit before trying to find one of the other Main Character toons. They’re extremely dangerous and it would be smart to have at least a small team helping him.

He eventually decides to just choose a floor at random and just search for someone. It’s probably what Dandy did too before he found him. With that decided, he just needs to figure out the elevator’s controls.

He’s not the best with technology, but he’s read a few books and spent enough time with Vee that he should have at least a small idea on how everything works.

“Alright… Let’s see if I can get this working on my own… I don’t want to wake Dandy if I don’t have to.” Astro tries to remember anything he might have learned.

------

Somehow he manages to open the doors to a new floor while mentally making a note of what he did so he can hopefully repeat it until he finds someone who hopefully will be able to understand the controls better than him.

“...I’m going to need a nap after this…” Astro ignores his tiredness though. It would be a bad idea to fall asleep and risk being trapped in his strange sleepwalking state again even with how comfortable it felt for him to be unaware of everything.

When he steps out onto the floor, he doesn’t notice anyone around at first before he hears the sound of… one of the machines rattling. He thinks he can remember this before. He can’t see the source of the noise, but he recognizes the mysterious blue glow that comes out of the light on top of it.

“Hello, Connie. It’s great to talk to you again, even if it’s like this.” Astro hopes that his mischievous ghost friend is mostly unchanged by the Ichor. If she’s still pranking toons, it must be a good sign, right?

“Astro? How are you here? You were missing for a while.” Connie is confused to see Astro again as she exits the machine that she was possessing, not even caring that she’s visible now.

“I’m here because Dandy found me. I don’t know what he did, but he somehow helped me.” Astro doesn’t know how he’s awake again, but that doesn’t matter to him now. He wants to use this as a way to help more of their friends return to normal. “Hey, Connie? Are there any more twisteds on this floor with you?”

Connie thinks for a moment at what she saw while roaming around before possessing the machine Astro found her in. “Last I checked you’re the only other twisted I’ve seen recently.”

So it seems like Astro will have to check another floor. He’s about to say something else to the ghost toon when he notices how tired Connie seems.

“Are you alright? You seem tired… Have you slept recently?” Astro is concerned now. If Connie hasn’t been sleeping properly, he can always offer to use his power on her once they make it back to the elevator.

“...Not really. It’s been hard to relax when I’ve had to survive dangerous versions of my friends… If you’re able to, I would like a calm dream where I don’t have to worry about anything.” Connie is happy to have Astro back to normal. She doesn’t question how she’s managed to regain her sanity too. Maybe Astro’s presence just has that ability naturally. It’s always been great for helping toons calm down enough to sleep.

“I can do that for you. You can discuss the details of the dream you want while we extract these machines.” The two of them chat as they extract the machines together. Their skillchecks are both kind of low, but they don’t worry about making mistakes too much since it’s a free floor.

At some point they come across the worst possible duo machine for both of them. A treadmill and Swimmy Barnaby machine. Astro takes care of the treadmill since he can quickly regain more stamina and he has more speed. He looks over to see Connie struggling with the game that should be simple enough to understand. The obstacles are actually just that unfair for toons with lower skillchecks.

After some trial and error, the two of them finish the floor and make it back into the elevator. Dandy is still peacefully asleep with the blanket and pillow. When the doors close, Astro activates his ability.

“Let’s get some rest.” Astro already starts to lay down next to Dandy. Connie joins him on the floor while turning partially invisible.

“Thank you, Astro…” It’s the last thing Connie says before she slips into her personal dream where she’s able to relax.

“You’re welcome, Connie…” Astro remains awake for a little longer to make sure both Connie and Dandy are comfortable in their sleep.

He decides to not question why Connie asked for a dream about Brightney specifically. They’re probably just very close friends. He smiles before falling asleep and entering his own dream of a time where everything was still peaceful.

For now the three toons are able to rest. Their journey to find and help their friends is just beginning. It’s starting off simple, but soon they’ll realize just how dangerous some of these transformations actually are.

Right as the group stepped out of the elevator, a blackout happened throughout the entire floor.

“...Is that supposed to happen…?” Eclipse is nervous now since she knows what’s about to happen. She’s struggling to control her more dangerous instincts. She glances around the room at her group’s scared expressions.

Part of her wants to run, hunt, and harm her friends. She doesn’t want to do any of that, but it’s hard to stop the transformation once it’s already started. Her eyes are already starting to turn pink.

“The light shouldn’t go out like that.” Brightney is worried now. Why would the light go out suddenly?

Vee taps her microphone tail a few times to get it working. “Is this thing on?” Her power highlights all of the twisteds and machines that are on this floor. What the highlight reveals causes everyone to immediately pause what they’re doing in fear. They all back away from Eclipse instantly.

“...Eclipse…?” Ribecca is the closest to where the wolf toon is standing.

“Stay away from me…! I don’t want to hurt anyone…!” Eclipse is scared and tries to resist the transformation, but isn’t able to for long. She just stands there silently as the changes continue.

“...Are you okay…?” This is one of the last things she hears from someone before she’s fully corrupted by her uncontrollable instincts.

“AWOOO!!” Eclipse’s loud howling as she becomes a full werewolf twisted gets the attention of every other twisted on the floor.

The group quickly splits up and runs to any hiding spots they can find. The now twisted Eclipse looks for any prey. She briefly looks at the small jack-o-lantern toon before she notices a much brighter light coming from behind a crate and approaches it quickly. Her expression is now much more feral than it’s ever been before.

Brightney realizes that she’s been spotted once she hears rapid footsteps getting closer to the crate. She doesn’t even have to look up to know what’s going on. She instead does what anyone would do in this situation and just starts running, getting the attention of the other twisteds on the floor in the process. She doesn’t stop running. She can’t stop yet until everyone is safe.

“Brightney, wait! Don’t run off! It’s not safe!” She doesn’t look back at where Vee is peeking out of her hiding spot.

“Brightney! Come back!” The twisteds continue to run after the lamp toon with the bright glow and don’t pay any attention to the others. It’s like they’re completely invisible to the corrupted versions of their friends.

Multiple members of the group are trying to see if they can get the twisteds off of her but nothing is working because of how low her stealth is. “Get away from her!”

Gourdy and Vee were the most successful with this for a moment before the twisteds just focused on Brightney again and resumed what they were doing before the failed distraction attempt.

It’s already too late for her the moment she made this risky decision, but she can try to keep the twisteds distracted for as long as possible to help her friends escape. She doesn’t realize that she’s just delaying the inevitable.

------

Brightney’s footsteps are loud against the cold Ichor stained floor. She’s currently being chased by every twisted. She didn’t think this through all the way since she’s starting to become exhausted and still hasn’t found the opportunity to get away safely. She didn’t realize how fast Eclipse and Coal were as twisteds until just now and has already used up all of her chocolates. She can hear the distant sounds of her friends desperately completing machines as quickly as possible in hope that they can save her from the consequences of her actions.

“Why did I think this was a good idea…? How can I get out of this safely…?” Brightney tries to come up with a plan. It’s what she’s good at, but she just can’t think of anything.

She’s running out of time and needs to think of something quickly. She doesn’t have much stamina left, so she quickly grabs her bottle of pop out of her inventory and takes a huge sip. She’ll have to properly thank Dandy for finding these if she ever sees him again.

She doesn’t realize that the stress of constantly having to think of a solution to every problem is starting to turn her into a twisted.

This brief distraction of not paying attention to how close the twisteds are getting to her causes her to get bitten by Coal, causing her leg to now bleed Ichor from the bite mark. She isn’t able to stop to patch herself up yet though since she’s still being chased. She tries to scan the dark area for any hiding spots.

She notices something is off about her lightbulb soon after she activates her ability to make it easier for herself to see where she’s running. “Is my lightbulb flickering?” It’s not just the flickering that’s suspicious. She also notices that her light is starting to turn red.

“Red…? Why is my light that color? I don’t use red lightbulbs…” She then has a realization of what’s going on after the words leave her mouth. She stops running and the twisteds seem to stop chasing her. They then split off to look for more toons to hunt.

“What’s going on…? Why are the twisteds leaving…?” Brightney doesn’t know what happened, but she doesn’t have much time left to think freely.

With the little time she has left before she twists, she increases the brightness of her lightbulb. Even without her sanity, she still wants to help her friends as much as possible. This increased glow from the red light will warn the remaining toons that she’s dangerous now and that they shouldn’t approach her.

------

Brightney’s transformation doesn’t go completely unnoticed by the other survivors.

Sprout can just sense that something's off. He doesn’t know why he has this feeling, but he doesn’t ignore it. He quickly approaches Vee since he believes that she’s in the most danger with how bright her green glow is in the dark.

“Are you doing okay, Vee?” He checks in on his friend. He knows how scared she felt when Brightney ran off.

“...I’m fine. I’m just worried about Brightney. We haven’t seen her since she ran off and I was thinking that…” Vee cuts herself off since she’s not used to being openly emotional, not even around her friends.

Sprout doesn’t have to ask about what Vee is thinking. “I’m sure she’s fine. She’s great at coming up with different plans.” He wants to try to reassure her that they’ll all be fine.

This hope that Brightney can handle everything and that she’ll return safely is immediately shattered once they notice a bright red light in the distance followed by multiple sets of footsteps, including ones that sound like they’re coming from a large dog.

Vee activates her mic check ability for the second time on this floor, but it’s already too late to hide. The duo have almost no time to react since Vee almost immediately gets spotted and bitten by Coal. The force of the attack causes her to fall over and break her screen.

CRACK!

Vee lets out a loud glitchy scream from the pain of being torn apart.

“Vee!” Sprout wastes no time and immediately rushes over to Vee to push Coal away from her, getting bit on the arm in the process. He quickly grabs her and runs to a well-hidden hiding spot before checking her injuries.

“S-Sprout…? Everything h-hurts…” Vee’s voice is glitching now. “A-are the injuries b-bad…?”

Sprout just stares in horror at what he’s seeing. “Vee… I don’t know how to heal this… Your wires are exposed…”

“...W-what…?” Vee quickly looks down at her torso to see that it’s been ripped open. Ichor leaks out of her all over the floor and her legs.

Sprout desperately places his hands on the damaged metal in an attempt to stop Vee from losing more Ichor than she already has. He looks up at his friend’s glitching and cracked screen. He notices that she’s crying red digital tears and has an expression with a mix of fear and anger.

“...A-are you going to abandon m-me…? I don’t w-want to be a-alone…” Vee doesn’t want to be alone while she’s in so much pain. She isn’t able to care anymore if she’s not acting like she would normally. She’s starting to show the side of her that she’s never shown to anyone before.

“I’m not going to abandon you, Vee. I could never do that.” Sprout doesn’t care if he’s getting Ichor all over his body. He just doesn’t want to leave a friend behind while she’s in need of reassurance. He’s not going to leave her even as she becomes a twisted. He doesn’t care if he becomes one too anymore since his friend needs him.

The two of them sit together as they both become twisteds. They can feel their bodies painfully stretching out and becoming longer in certain places. Their eyes start to turn red, though Vee’s eyes only become a gradient of red and her usual green color while Sprout’s fully change to match the other twisteds.

The two of them only have a few seconds left before they’re fully corrupted and decide to say anything that they haven’t said to each other before.

“...T-thank you for not abandoning m-me, Sprout…”

“Thank you for opening up to me, Vee. You’re a great friend.”

They don’t know when they both started crying, but they aren’t able to question it more. When they fully become twisteds, they both never actually fully lose their sanity somehow even though they should have. They’ve never seen a sane twisted before now.

“Hopefully the rest of our friends are okay.” This is the last thought they had before losing their ability to speak and think freely.

------

Razzle and Dazzle are doing a little better at extracting without being caught. While exploring the floor, they find a heavy object that looks like it could have been used as a stage prop for one of their performances in the past.

“Hey, Dazzle! Do you think we should take this with us?” Razzle asks his twin. His excitement is still there despite the horrors that they’re experiencing.

“...It could be a great way to protect ourselves… Let’s take it…” Dazzle agrees with his brother. He understands how useful having a tool like this could help a lot. It reminds him of the past back when they would host performances with all of their friends. This memory makes him feel a little sad after everything that’s happening now.

Razzle takes control of their conjoined body for more speed while Dazzle acts as the lookout for any twisteds that could be nearby.

“...Razzle… There’s a twisted nearby…” Dazzle warns Razzle as soon as he sees a twisted approaching.

“Thanks for the warning, Dazzle!” Razzle hides both of them behind a nearby crate before going silent. They wait for the twisted to pass by while gripping the prop just in case stealth doesn’t work.

The twisted doesn’t seem to notice them. They continue to travel in silence to increase their stealth further once the coast is clear and soon come across another unfinished machine.

“Hey, look! There’s another machine here!” Razzle is excited about this. They might be allowed to get off this floor soon.

“...Another one…? You can let me do it…” Dazzle isn’t as excited to extract another machine as his twin, but he also doesn’t want to be on this floor for longer than he already has been.

The twins switch control easily and start working on this machine as quickly and carefully as possible. As they’re extracting, Dazzle will sometimes glance up at their surroundings to check for twisteds before turning his attention back to the valve. Soon the machine’s light turns from red to green to signal that it’s been completed.

“Onto the next one!” Razzle takes control and starts looking for another machine to finish.

“...There’s more…?” Dazzle doesn’t understand his brother’s enthusiasm sometimes. This is definitely one of those times since they’re literally trying to survive in a dangerous situation.

“Of course there’s more, Dazzle! We need to complete all of the machines on this floor before we can leave!” Razzle doesn’t understand why his twin is being so pessimistic all of a sudden.

“...I’m sure the others are taking care of these machines too… We don’t have to do all of them…” Dazzle doesn’t want to upset his usually cheerful twin, but he doesn’t want him to completely ignore the truth of what’s actually happening to everyone.

The twins are interrupted by the sound of howling before they can continue their disagreement. They turn to look behind them just in time to spot Eclipse running at them faster than they can escape from. They don’t want to hurt her since she’s still one of their friends even if she can’t control her body, so they hold the prop to be more on the defensive side of fighting. Eclipse lunges at them to bite and claw at their arms, but they react by blocking her and pushing her away from them.

“...Razzle! We need to run…! We won’t be able to fight her…!” Dazzle is more aware of their weaknesses. He hopes that his twin won’t try to argue with him more.

“I’m sure that we’ll be fine, Dazzle! You worry too much!” Razzle makes the mistake of not listening to the warning.

This major mistake gives Eclipse the opportunity to use her sharp claws to slash at the conjoined twins’ masks.

CRACK!!!!

Two very loud cracks can be heard at the same time as Razzle and Dazzle’s masks break in half. Their ichor gets everywhere on their clothes and ribbons. They recover from the extreme pain just long enough to quickly find a part of the floor that isn’t near any dangerous twisteds. They feel so tired from losing a lot of their Ichor.

Everything is blurry and they can barely see their surroundings. Dazzle is barely able to notice a heavy metal weight on the floor nearby.

“...Razzle…? Are you okay…?” Dazzle looks over to see that his brother’s remaining eye is starting to turn pink and then red. His smile is looking a lot more crazy than usual.

Dazzle looks at his reflection in the metal weight to see that his eye is also starting to change colors. He also notices that their ribbons are starting to become longer and more vine-like. He quickly grabs some of their vines and the weight and ties them around the metal. He can’t allow them to accidentally harm anyone while they have no control over their actions.

“...I’m sorry, Razzle… I can’t let you hurt anyone…” Dazzle apologies to his twin as he starts tying their arms up with their long ribbons. It’s hard, but he somehow manages to do it.

Once they aren’t able to move anymore, the twins just sit in silence. It’s not very peaceful since Razzle keeps trying to free himself. Dazzle makes sure his brother isn’t able to. Eventually the two of them fall asleep after using up all of their energy. Their masks subconsciously fit together to make up for how they’re both missing half.

The conjoined twins now sit together in the middle of their long vine-like ribbons while sleeping.

------

Ribecca doesn’t look back as she runs through Ichor puddles to escape from the twisted versions of her friends. Eclipse and Coal have gotten close to catching up a few times, but she was able to dodge them by taking a shortcut through the Ichor. She’s taking advantage of being a skeleton with an immunity to getting sick. Brightney’s red light gives away her location before she attacks, so she’s easy to dodge too. An Ichor tendril summoned by Sprout attempts to block her path, forcing her to take another path. Vee’s attempts to create popups to slow her fail.

She keeps running before eventually losing them. She runs into a nearby room and accidentally steps into a circle of what looks like red vines.

“Vines…? Why are there vines here? This isn’t the greenhouse floor.” Ribecca reaches down to feel the texture of these mysterious ‘plants’. When she feels them, she recognizes the appearance and texture of ribbons instantly from all of the times she’s made everyone’s costumes for Halloween and made multiple adjustments for the ones with unique anatomy.

“...Ribbons… There’s only two toons with red ribbons… Wait…” Ribecca looks up quickly after her realization.

The sleeping twins can feel something touching their ribbon circle trap. They quickly wake up and look around. Their masks separate from their twin as they stand up and stare at the unlucky toon who came across their circle.

“Guys, I didn’t realize you would be here! I didn’t mean to disturb your rest! I can leave and you can go back to sleep.” Ribecca’s words are completely ignored by Razzle and Dazzle as their sharp ribbons shoot out from the ground and stab into her bones, including the spot where her heart is located. They don’t need their arms to be free to attack. Having their arms tied up seemed to just make them even stronger than they were as toons.

Ribecca forces herself to be quiet before her screams get the attention of more twisteds. She tries to run out of the circle to find a spot where she can patch herself up with the health kit she still carries on her. Her escape attempt fails when suddenly one of her legs gets grabbed. She fails and cracks her skull open, causing more Ichor to leak out. Black tears involuntarily leak out of her eyes from the shock of suddenly hitting the ground hard.

She doesn’t know how she did it, since everything is starting to become blurry and hard to keep track of, but she manages to escape the ribbon trap before Razzle and Dazzle can harm her more. She glances back just in time to catch Dazzle looking at her with an expression of fear and regret.

The skeleton toon finds a hiding spot and opens her health kit. Her hands are Ichor stained and shaking as she attempts to reach for something to use to wipe her hands clean. She’s barely able to hold on for long though when she accidentally drops the item that she found.

“...Why am I shaking so much…?” She’s starting to become angry. At what? Why is she so angry?

Is it because of what’s happening to everyone? It would make sense, but she doesn’t even know who’s behind all of this. She shouldn’t be feeling this angry. It’s not normal for her. She attempts to take some deep breaths but nothing she does seems to be working.

Ribecca can feel herself losing her sanity slowly. She doesn’t have much time left and there’s nothing she can do to prevent herself from accidentally harming her friends. Ichor continues to drip down from her head and heart.

“...I hope they’ll forgive me if I ever return to normal.”

------

Ding!

“Yay!! Hehehe!” Gourdy has just finished another machine without fully realizing what kind of horrible situation is going on around him. “We should be almost done with this floor now!”

The pumpkin child looks around the area for more machines. When he doesn’t find any, he keeps walking while holding onto his locket. He suddenly has this strange feeling that he’s being watched by someone, but he doesn’t know why. He looks around and sees nothing. It’s just him here. He’s probably just being paranoid.

“There’s nobody here, so why do I feel like I’m being watched?” He doesn’t stop moving.

As he continues walking, he hears metallic footsteps followed by the sounds of leaves. He recognizes them immediately with how much he looks up to the other mains.

“Miss Vee! Mr Seedly!” He’s excited to see them again after they got split up when Eclipse transformed into her full werewolf form.

As they get closer, Gourdy quickly notices that something is off about them. They’re now a lot taller than usual and have red eyes. He looks up and sees that Miss Vee’s screen is cracked and glitching and that her torso has been torn open to expose her wires.

“Miss Vee, are you hurt? Here! You can use my bandages!” Gourdy approaches the two twisteds and holds out his health kit for Vee to take.

Instead of one of them taking the health kit from the innocent toon in front of them, Sprout summons one of his tendrils. The thin Ichor creation slashes at Gourdy.

“Ow! Mr Seedly…? Why did you hurt me…?” The suddenness of this attack causes him to let go of his health kit. His locket’s ability highlights where it landed, but he doesn’t get to grab it again since the twisted versions of Sprout and Vee start to approach him and don’t seem friendly.

He starts to run as fast as he can, but is already starting to get tired. Tears form in his eyes from feelings of being betrayed and the pain of being slashed at. Something more painful is going on with his body, but he tries to ignore it for now since he can’t stop running until these monsters aren’t looking for him anymore. The two twisteds seem to notice something before he does because they lose interest.

The pain gets worse and forces Gourdy to sit on the floor in the wide open space. “Why does my body hurt…?” He looks down at his body and notices the long vines growing.

He tries to move slightly, but he can’t for some reason. It’s almost like he’s now stuck in the ground. His body and vines continue to grow longer and soon he’s completely stuck in the ground. The leaves on his head grow longer and curve just like horns of dragons from the stories that Soulvester would always tell him when he would ask about his cool knight adventures.

Gourdy just stays there and imagines times where everything was normal before everyone started transforming into dangerous monsters. He doesn’t notice that he dropped his locket with the only picture he still has of his parents.

Maybe one day everything will become normal someday. There must be a way to fix this, right? Every problem should have a solution, even if it’s not obvious.

------

Eggson is the last toon remaining, but he doesn’t realize that yet. He just keeps doing as many machines as he can since the floor is almost done.

He finishes every machine that he can find as quickly as possible. Hitting the machines gently with his cane helps speed this process up by a lot.

Tap! Ding!

Tap! Ding!

Tap! Ding!

For awhile Eggson has been noticing that it’s weirdly silent on this floor and that he hasn’t seen the others since they’ve started. He suspects that something is off and checks his surroundings for any of his friends. He thinks he should look for them before he finishes the last machine.

He can hear the sound of footsteps before he sees who they belong to. He doesn’t need to be able to see to recognize Vee. She hasn’t noticed him yet because he’s hiding behind a bookshelf. This hiding spot gives him the perfect view of all of the changes Vee went through when becoming a twisted. He waits for her to be completely out of view before sneaking away.

“What happened to her?” Eggson doesn’t have much time to figure it out while he’s still in this situation. He has to keep moving.

He’s almost done extracting all of the remaining machines. He doesn’t understand why there’s multiple types but some of them are easy enough to figure out. So far the hardest one for him to work on is the ‘Swimmy Barnaby’ machine type.

The fish on the screen swims through seaweed obstacles that get harder to avoid as it goes on. He attempts to go for a coin, but ends up hitting a seaweed.

ERRRR!!!!

The machine makes a loud failure noise, instantly getting the attention of a certain TV twisted on the floor. A digital pop-up appears in Eggson’s view. He struggles to figure out how to get it to go away as loud footsteps get closer to his current location.

“AWOOO!!” Eclipse alerts any twisteds that didn’t hear the machine failing.

Eggson tries to run, though a combination of Vee’s digital pop-up slowing him down, Sprout’s Ichor tendril attempting to block the path, and Eclipse and Coal’s fast speed, cause him to get hit.

He manages to hide behind a crate long enough for the twisteds to lose interest in him. Once the hallway is clear, he returns to the machine to hopefully finish it.

He feels exhausted as the strange technology in front of him finally lets out a ding of completion. The elevator door opens, but he’s too tired to continue.

“...Hopefully Dandy will be fine.” This is the last thought Eggson has before he collapses on the cold Ichor stained floor.

------

The elevator closes and Dandy’s shop comes up from wherever it was.

“Welcome back to my shop everyone! I got some upgrades that you might like!” Dandy greets the suspiciously empty elevator. It was supposed to be full of toons, but somehow none of them returned.

This confuses the flower toon as he looks around for a sign that his friends are okay. There’s still no answer. It’s just him.

“Where is everyone?” Being alone bothers him a lot more than he thought it would. His paws touch the cold elevator floor as he steps down from the box he usually stands on to appear taller than he actually is.

He looks around the elevator again while searching the corners for any toons that could be hiding. He finds nobody there. He feels lonely.

“I need to find my friends.” Dandy knows he’s taking a huge risk here, but he doesn’t like being alone. It’s starting to bother him.

It’s his fault that his friends are missing. He now feels like he has to find them before something bad happens. He needs to see them okay before his guilt corrupts him.

He moves back over to his controls and selects a floor at random. He doesn’t realize that it’s already almost too late and that he’s already starting to become a twisted. The first change is that his petals and leaves are becoming sharper.

Sunny

Sunny doesn’t have many changes other than how I draw her outfit and how I couldn’t resist the urge to give her cat paws. I was excited about finishing her reference.

Moonie

Like Sunny, Moonie is mainly the same as her canon design (just with cat paws). It’s honestly rare for me to draw a moon model who’s genuinely happy, so I like how this came out.

Clipsey

It’s been a while since I’ve drawn a monochromatic eclipse model, so I was wasn’t sure how this would look. I think this is the most stripes I’ve drawn on one character’s outfit, but I actually don’t dislike how it looks. It might get easier if I draw her more.

Earth Geb

Geb is named after Egyptian mythology, one of the few myths that actually have a male earth. I know that he’s supposed to be a minor side character, but this is what I mean by everything being changed by the Celestial family’s decisions. For his actual design, I gave him overalls with pastel flowers because I wanted to make him different from the other earth models.

Luna Comet

Eclipse Sunset

For Sunset’s design I used his canon design a lot and just added more purple. His eyes are fully colored in that way to represent how he’s not a perfect fusion of Sun and Moon and doesn’t have full control.

Saturn

For Saturn’s design, I mainly kept her design the same as the reference I used. The only changes are mainly just how I drew her hair and kind of how her outfit looks.

Venus

Earth

For Earth’s design, the outfit was inspired by one of my older outfits for one of the past versions of Terra. I gave her a bow on the back of her head to further make her different from the other Earth variants.

Lunar

For Lunar, I made his colors darker than Cosmos’ old body since they’re supposed to be different. It’s not super obvious because of his neck ruffles, but he wears overalls just like Earth.

Mars

For Mars, I mainly kept him the same as canon except for his shirt. I don’t think it’s very clear here, but I wanted to make his hair fluffy to match with his sister.

Andromeda

For Andromeda, I combined multiple of her canon outfits and then drew it in my style. Her halo now looks more like a crown since I don’t think it would realistically would float since she’s a normal animatronic.

Harvest and Folly

I struggled with them more than I thought I would. For Harvest, it was his hat and eyes. For Folly, it was the patterns on her hat and skirt. Even with these challenges, it was fun to be drawing the a version of the Bloodmoon twins again (even if it’s not Reaper and Scythe).

DJ

For DJ, I made her legs pointy to kind of look more like a spider. For her mouth, I was doing it based off of the canon FNaF DJ. I had a lot of fun figuring out what I wanted to do with her dress.

Night
