"Its...not here. I don't feel it anymore. Earlier it was here, but now it's not? What the hell, where did it go?!" I exclaimed.

"You could have just been wrong about it being here." The animatronic stated.

"I'm open to being wrong, BUT If I was wrong, I wouldn't have felt a warm and loving feeling in my heart leading me to this building. I knew of this place, but not which street it was on. There's gotta be something on the security cameras. Bendy, can you take us to the security room?" I ask.

"What's the magic word?" The Demon smirked.

"Please?" I say sweetly.

"Actually the magic word was Cupcake, but I will accept your 'please'. It was this way." Bendy took the lead.

I scoff as we follow them. Cupcake? Why would he pick that of all words? It's usually please. I drink the last of my Starbucks and toss it into a nearby trash can, that was good. It's actually warmer in here than it is outside, I removed my winter gloves and put them into the pocket on my sweatshirt. My clawed metal hands were revealed, and they do look pretty badass. I then removed my sweatshirt and tied it around my waist, my forming forearms exposed as well.

"By God, why is it spreading up your arms?" Springtrap looked at my arms.

"Not sure yet." I lied.

I don't want to freak out my friends right now, it's late and we just need to know what happened to the red gem. Like where did it go? Is it still here but in a safe place? Or was it transported? These are the questions we should be asking. Since Bendy has been to the security room, we arrived much quicker than when Ratchet was guiding him. Blue walked into the security room, noticing an unconscious security guard on the floor. At least, I HOPE he's unconscious.

"Uh..." I raised an eyebrow.

"He's fine, don't worry. He passed out when he saw me, almost like he'd seen a ghost." Bendy chuckled.

"Ghosts may be frightening, but you're a Demon. Demons are far more intense and scary than a regular ghost." I point out.

"Fair enough." The Demon ruffled my hair.

I giggled and went towards the monitors showing almost the entire building. I scan the screens for anything  suspicious, so far nothing. There is one main computer which has the main controls and can show any of the cameras, I take a seat in the swivel chair and began rewinding the footage. Blue came up next to me and looked at the monitor in front of me.

"There's gotta be SOMETHING showing where it went..." I was focused.

"How are you so sure that your 'feeling' is accurate?" The tattered bunny asked.

"I trust my gut feeling when it says something. Around you guys, it tells me that you're good friends. You've all been kind to me, some sarcasm and skepticism here and there, but I don't mind that." I stopped the footage around 4:25 pm.

Blue chirped and pointed a claw at one of the cameras, I looked and saw that she was pointing to a camera in...Attingers office. Camera 12. I clicked on the camera as it showed full screen on the monitor in full color. It showed Attinger sitting at his desk filling out paperwork, nothing too exciting there. But then someone enters his office. Or...something. It looked to be like Ultron almost, but not quite. The robot came in and sat down in the seat across from Attinger. Attinger looked up from his work and began talking to the robot.

"So are you here for what I have to offer?" Attinger asked him.

"Indeed I am. What is it you are offering my master?" The robot had a heavy British accent.

The man turned his attention to a desk drawer, pulling it open. He reached inside and pulled out...the red gem. My full attention was now on this when I previously thought it wasn't crucial. The robot scooted closer in his seat to get a better look at the gem.

"What is this?" He asked.

"I am unsure, but it withholds much power. It seems to harness the power of ones love and emotions-" the gem began to glow as he held it.

That was at the same time when I walked past the building. The glowing seemed to catch both of their attention.

"It has never glowed before, not once." Attinger looked at it more closely.

"I will take it." The robot placed his fist on the desk.

Attinger looked back to the robot, an eyebrow raised.

"Do you wish for anything in return?" The robot asked.

The man shook his head, "Not at all."

The robot nodded, "Lockdown will be very pleased with this."

I shut off the monitor, in shock and in anger. I know who has it now. And I was HOPING that we wouldn't have any more run-ins with Lockdown from this world. Imagine what would happen if the Lockdown who wants to murder me, meets this world's Lockdown. Oooh, maybe they'll try to kill each other! Either way, it's one less Lockdown to deal with. I chuckle at the thought of it as I stand from my seat.

"What's funny?" Bendy asked.

"I know where the gem is, AND we know who has it." I said.

"Lockdown." Both Bendy and Springtrap said together.

I nod, "Yes, BUT not the one who tried to drown me."

That made both of them seem to raise an eyebrow, if they had any.

"Are you saying there's 2 of him?" Springtrap asked.

"Yes, and possibly more if you think of Alternate realities. All my Autobot friends are here too, but..." I paused for a second, "But here....most of them are dead. Either killed in battle or hunted by Cemetery Wind, some of them might even be in the laboratory they have here." I said with a shaky voice.

"I'm very sorry..." Bendy patted my shoulder.

Springtrap stood silent with his arms crossed, looking off to the side. Blue came up to me and nudged me in the ribs, squabbling and chirping. I took a deep breath to calm my anxiety building up, placing a metal hand on Blues back and beginning to pet her. She didn't seem to mind that my hands and now forearms were made of metal and looking Cybertronian. The raptor still seemed to be enjoy being pet.

"So where is this gem?" Bendy asked.

"On an Alien Spaceship. I was on it in the alternate universe with my good friend Optimus, and that's when him and I got cornered by Decepticons. But here...The playing field is a little different. There, it was a ship used by the great Knights of Cybertron. Here, it's basically a prison vessel." I explain.

Their eyes widen.

"What?! And my best guess would be that he is the warden?" The Demon asked.

"Yep. But honestly, the security is so fucking AWFUL that you could steal a part of that vessel and not be noticed until he's light years away." I laugh.

They seemed to be relieved by that.

"So who wants to plan a prison riot?" I smirk.
