I'm making a bunch of side stories to go alongside my masterpiece: Arcade Conspiracy. These side stories cover what Luis Cabrera didn't see and follow other characters surviving the riot at the Pizzaplex.

Taking place after Luis passes out at the foot of the Princess Quest 3 arcade, we switch to the blurred perspective of Vanessa Diego.

Almost killing Luis earlier in the night had granted her some control back then, but Glitchtrap always regains control. She was banking on Luis being able to free her, but he couldn't, and Glitchtrap used this as an opportunity to kill the interloper once and for all.

Ness comes back to her senses after stabbing Luis. She sees him bleeding out, and wants to save him, but Glitchtrap won't let her. He gives her a choice: finish him off herself or watch him slowly bleed out.

Knowing that William is a business man, she knows what she has to do and is willing to sacrifice anything to keep Luis alive. She has been forced to extract remnant from herself before, so knows too well that remnant can be extracted from still living humans, so she proposes a deal: She is to extract remnant from Luis, sacrificing a portion of his memories, in exchange for letting her beloved interloper to live.

Ness stared at her hands, then at the ground before her. Luis lay bearly breathing, a knife had been plunged into his abdomen but he was still alive for now. Blood soaked the floor and the fabric of the feet of her rabbit costume.

She was still wearing the rabbit costume. But why did she expect any different; she only had this costume and a pair of more pedestrian clothes, and that was all.

She took a second look at her hands, and sure enough, they were covered in fabric, one hand red, the other a blueish off-white. Both were stained with blood.

"No no no, this can't be happening!"

She stepped backwards as she tried to wake herself from this nightmare, only to quickly discover that she was already awake.

So if she was awake, Luis was really bleeding out before her again.

As she saw his breathing get weaker, she tried to get closer, but it felt as though someone or something was holding her back. So she sunk to her knees instead and tried to remember what happened.

She recalled the east arcade. She had been taken over by 'Vanny'. She had stabbed him, slashed at him, and had almost killed him, the intention having been to stab a knife through his heart. Luis had managed to push the knife to a non-fatal area of his abdomen, but that didn't change the fact that he had been stabbed.

Ness knew that it was at that moment when she had regained control, to at least some degree. Enough to let go and give him a chance to get back up. Then, Vanny was back in power, right up until the critical moment. Ness remembered that when she was given a critical opportunity, she instead foolishly pulled out the knife and kissed Luis before forcing her body to retreat.

Whilst she felt a fool, she'd never trade those actions for the world.

And she had happened across him again when he was on his way to Fazerblast, when he was bearly conscious and she had bearly managed to ensure that Glitchtrap didn't hurt him by making the most out of what little control she had left.

And finally, she had watched him collapse at the foot of the Princess Quest 3 arcade.

And Glitchtrap had made her stab him.

A precision wound in the exact same place he had been stabbed last time.

Ness looked back up at Luis his eyes had opened, as was his mouth. He was still alive - she thanked the stars - and he was smiling at her.

His mouth then closed, so it was clear he was still alive, still able to move somewhat. And the reason his mouth had been open was because he had spoken.

"Nessie, I love you."

She felt as though she didn't deserve this kindness. Glitchtrap had turned her into Vanny again and made another attempt on Luis's life, only hours after the previous.

Luis had tried to save her, and had failed, and here he was, bleeding out in the Fazerblast control room. She reached for the knife, but knew she'd probably hurt him more.

Then, she turned to the first aid kit.

She had to save her Luis, weather Glitchtrap wanted her to or not, she'd do it.

With a deep breath, she gently removed the knife and begun to treat Luis's wound. This wound was in the exact same place where she had stabbed him back at the arcade. If she could patch him up well enough, nobody would notice that she had attacked him again, right?

Nodding in affirmation to herself, she begun to stitch up the wound with surgical precision, copying the exact same methods as the previous patch-up of this wound, as even though Glitchtrap's influence had forced her to be adept and killing, it had also made her more versed in surgery. The other of the two constants within the Afton's: murder and surgery.

As she was stitching up Luis's wound, replicating what she had gathered from the pinpricks around the wound so that nobody aside from herself and Luis would ever know that this wound had been stabbed twice, she felt a presence over her shoulder.

"Please, go away." Ness said, "let Luis and I have a moment together. It may be our last chance and-"

"It will be." The looming presence, Glitchtrap himself, replied.

Ness was too stunned to reply, trying her best not to shake as she continued to heal Luis. He had lost a lot of blood, but she knew that he was rather hardy, so she had hope that he'd survive. She'd even found an IV of that fluid stuff - she did not have time to know what it was called, only what it intrinsically was without words and that it'd help - that'd help Luis not go into shock.

"Isn't it beautiful, isn't it romantic?" Glitchtrap said, almost mockingly, "he will die, and even in death, he'll be yours. His last smile, his last words, his last kiss. All yours and he gave them to you himself. All you have to take is his life. Isn't that what you wanted? For this man to be yours?"

Ness felt Glitchtrap's hand on her shoulder and she felt a chil shoot down her spine, freezing all her limbs in an instant.

"That's ... Not right." She didn't know if those were the right words. She loved Luis, and he was hers already before all of this, but she would never take his life.

The segment of her mind that Glitchtrap had taken over wanted to see Luis bleed out before her. It tried to convince her that it would be beautiful. It tried to convince her that he would be hers forever as a corpse, but would leave her now he knows she's a killer, but only if she let him live. But the real her, the last remaining shred of her mind she had left within her control, wanted Luis to live. She knew that he would stay by her side, even through this.

She had to keep patching him up. He had to survive.

Taking a deep breath, she tried to keep stitching up his wound, but her body wouldn't cooperate. It was as if someone had pressed pause on her body. She knew this feeling all to well. Glitchtrap was not going to let her keep healing Luis.

"It wasn't a suggestion." Glitchtrap said, forcing Ness's free hand towards the knife she had set down. "Would you rather see him bleed out slowly, or let him die quickly."

'No!' she tried to shout, but her voice didn't escape her lips. Instead, the sickening sensation of claws scratched within her throat as her voice came out as a distorted perversion of her own. "Slowly."

Tears fell down her cheeks as she was forced to listen to the words that were not hers fall from her mouth, and even if they were not hers, they meant the same thing. She had been given a choice, and she simply had been made to say the option closest to what she wanted.

She looked at Luis, whose breathing was slow and shallow as his shining eyes started to look like they were glazing over. The side of her under Glitchtrap's direct command found the sight hauntingly beautiful, but the parts of herself she still had control over found it terrifying. She was losing him. Fast.

She had to think of something. Some way to keep him alive. She knew all too well the Afton's always disposed of things that they decided no longer had use, so she needed to trick the rabbit into believing that Luis had some use to him alive.

"Remnant can be extracted from a live host..." She mumbled. Remnant could be produced by the living, usually in trace amounts, but she knew of Henry, or more specifically the doll that became a replacement for his daughter. She knew Cecilia, a girl who uses remnant from her own body to keep herself alive. She knew Krasnyy, who William had tried to kill back in the mid 2000's. William had flayed the skin from the journalist's right arm to start the production of remnant. She remembered that Krasnyy had told everyone that he only realised that remnant had been extracted from him after looking through his camera footage and finding footage he didn't remember taking whilst escaping from William.

So she knew that she'd be sacrificing some of Luis's memories. The snippets would be short, if she had her way, but she had no way of knowing if or how Glitchtrap would intervene.

"I know. Tonight has been disappointing for production and that is our last option; taking scraps of agony grief and anger from what little blood was shed." Glitchtrap seemed deep in thought. Ness hoped he was considering what she was thinking. "Are you proposing we keep him alive to extract trace amounts of remnant from time to time?"

"If you want to keep that corpse of yours alive into next week, do you have a choice?" Ness spat in reply. Glitchtrap's human corpse component, Burntrap, was festering in a recharge station in the basement. Remnant was needed to reanimate it, and it was almost complete. But she hoped that even after it was complete that William still wouldn't have enough to persist.

"Deal. We only need a tad more, so I require a decent sided sample." Glitchtrap grinned, much to Ness's horrified suprise, "some remnant in exchange for keeping him alive. You don't even need to keep him as a pet; he can go free after the sample has been taken."

"Thank you."

Nausea built up in her head and stomach as she let the reality set in. She had just agreed to extract remnant from an alive Luis. She didn't know how many memories he'd lose, and didn't want to ask right now, but she'd made a deal. One that'd see Luis live.

She never wanted to have to thank Glitchtrap for anything ever again.

She found that she could move again and immediately finished patching up Luis's wound. Whilst still shallow, his breathing had leveled out and she knew he'd be ok. Her fabric gloves were covered in blood to the point where they were heavy, but this time, it was from healing instead of hurting, so they didn't feel as heavy.

"Now," Glitchtrap said, "first you'll need to change. You can clean your suit later. Then, you need to make sure that he won't be able to see where he is or escape. Finally, decide on a remnant extraction facility."

"I'll use the one behind the daycare." Ness said as she changed out of her rabbit costume and into a grey t-shirt, black slacks, and a purple plaid shirt. Her hands were stained slightly red, but as much as she hated it, she was used to the stains by now.

"Strange choice, seeing as it's so small, but seeing as you've used it before and it's equip to be less ... Invasive." Glitchtrap mumbled, "but it'll do. I can't believe you're cooperating with me for a change. Perhaps I should have tried to kill him sooner. Oh wait, I did."

Ness ignored the remarks as she turned back to Luis, recalling Glitchtrap's second order: prevent Luis from seeing or escaping.

She hated herself to do it, but she had made this deal in order to keep him alive, so surely her beloved would understand, right?

She grabbed a length of rope from a storage crate and a scrap of cloth. As she tied the cloth over Luis's eyes, she realised that he was unconscious. Her heart skipped a beat in fear, but he was breathing and his heart was beating, so she released the breath she was holding and gave him a kiss of the forehead before slinging the rope over her shoulder like a stereotypical fictional tomb raider and picking him up in a bridal style carry.

There was no need for him to be restrained yet. That was only necessary for the remnant extraction procedure.

Before she left Fazerblast, she switched the backup EMP circuit in her flannel jacket on. It wouldn't be as effective as it didn't have the accompanying illusion circuit that the rabbit suit had, but with the riot, human staff were unlikely to bother her. With her pedestrian clothes she looked like a regular lady tending to the wounded; oh how it was both almost true and the opposite. Unless they knew her, they'd seldom suspect that the rabbit lady whose presence induced headaches was her, as no illusion circuit means no migraine inducing aura, which also ment that Luis wouldn't be uncomfortable during this transit.

As she navigated through the atrium, then to the main lobby/ enterance zone, and then to the daycare, she found herself rambling. First about how much she had missed being home and hated being trapped here. Then about how she was sorry that she couldn't do more to halt Glitchtrap, and how she knew that Luis would tell her to stop being so hard on herself if he could hear her. Then finally, she talked about the arcades. Why didn't they let Luis in? He had done everything right, right?

"Unless those other arcades the last technician looked into were a part of this. Poor guy managed to beat those arcades, only to get abducted and shot before he could beat the last one. It's like a conspiracy."

She looked down at Luis, and he looked so peaceful. His faded heartbeat and shallow breathing soothed her. His hair and clothes were soaked in blood, and he looked so fragile in her arms. He looked so beautiful and Ness wished that time would freeze so that she could stay with her beloved Luis forever, on her own terms.

Ness took a deep breath as the door hidden behind the pirate poster opened for herself and Luis, allowing her to walk inside. She walked through the dingy corridor, but couldn't shake the idea that she had been followed.

But she had work to do.

She carefully dragged Luis into the small offshoot room that was through a cylindrical hole in the wall and gently placed him on the floor. She then located the remnant extraction equipment that had been hidden in the room for her to use. Finally, she bound Luis's arms behind his back. The less he could move during the procedure the better.

Preparing the remnant extraction kit, Ness saw Luis beginning to wake up.

His shallow breathing became more rapid and she heard his heart beat faster but not louder.

"It's ok, you'll be ok," Ness tried to convince both herself and Luis that he would be ok as she placed her free hand on his face, "See, I'm here."

Luis's breathing seemed to slow down to a safe place for how shallow it was, and he seemed to be trying to speak, but his words were so quiet that even she couldn't understand him.

"It won't hurt, I promise, and I hope you forgive me - if you remember." Ness softly moved her hand down Luis's face until she was at his neck, then carefully, she tilted his head to the side as to expose his neck.

As she did so, she felt Luis struggle beneath her, weak and exhausted. His attempt to fight back was in vain, as he couldn't even shake off the light nudge of her hand against his face. "Nessie? What are you going to do to me?" He asked, his fear filled voice so weak it was almost silent. "Please, be honest."

Tears welled up in her eyes as she replied, "I'm... I have to extract remnant from you. It won't kill you, but as with all live extractions, you will forget a few things. It will sting a little, but only the same as getting a needle in your neck would normally. I should know."

"Nessie, you...?" Luis's voice was a mix of fear and concern. Ness knew that he was worried about her as much as he was himself.

"After a botched kill, I had to extract some from myself to meet quota. I lost almost a day." She counted herself lucky that she couldn't remember that day thanks to the memory being extracted as remnant, "This extractor can only hold a few hours at most, only minutes if there's enough agony. That's why I picked this one. It'll just be like getting struck with slight amnesia, ok?"

"Ok." Luis conceded as he let Ness finish tilting his head, "just be careful, ok? I'm counting on you."

Ness nodded, tears in her eyes, "I will."

She planted a kiss on Luis's forehead before aligning the needle of the extractor's syringe with Luis's neck.

Hesitation took hold. She didn't want to do this. But she had to. She had made a deal that would let Luis live. It wasn't the first, but she hoped it'd be the last.

After a deep breath, she plunged the syringe into Luis's neck and took a second syringe. This second one was what would cause remnant to be produced. She injected the compound next to where the extractor's syringe had pierced into Luis's neck and then watched as the extractor syringe begun to fill up with an iridescent black liquid.

Sometimes, she'd see hints of other colours, but most of it was a black that glistened like a rainbow.

At most, she knew Luis would forget this night, and at minimum, he'd forget the minutes before the extraction process. The likely gap would be between when she saw him collapse after the princess quest 3 arcade didn't let him in and now, but only Luis or William would be able to confirm if that were true. Luis because he'd be able to say the last thing he remembered, and William because the old man can 'read' remnant and tell what memories it holds.

She stopped watching the syringe and looked at Luis's face. Even though she couldn't see his eyes, she knew that he was falling asleep. She let herself smile and pretend for a moment that everything was OK, but her fantasy was interrupted by the rude beeping of the extractor. It was done.

She carefully removed the empty syringe from Luis's neck before placing it on the ground. Then, she grabbed a vial from the side of the extractor.

"Gently does it," she mumbled as she slipped the remnant filled syringe out of Luis's neck and transferred the substance to the vial she had grabbed. The iridescent black liquid filled the vial almost completely, and as she compared it to the previous extractions she had been forced to perform, she realised that this was bearly a tenth of a normal haul, yet the agony was so potent that the sheer potency alone more than made up for it.

With a smile, she slipped the vial into a holding pocket on her jacket where it would be safe.

Looking back at Luis, she now knew for a fact that if he wasn't asleep before, he definitely was out cold now. She ran her hand down his neck over where the syringes had been inserted, and whilst the pinpricks were near-impossible to see, she knew they were there. She could also feel his pulse, and it was surprisingly stable. Knowing that there was a chance she'd never see him again, she planted a light kiss on Luis's neck over syringes pinpricks as a just-in-case goodbye.

Now, she had to hide Luis. If anyone did follow her, she didn't want them finding him unless they wanted to take him to safety. Safety being one of the many groups of staff that had formed and posted themselves in secure areas of the megaplex in order to ensure the best chances of survival. None of those locked behind had died yet, much to Williams distaste, which was probably why he was fine with keeping Luis alive provided some remnant was extracted.

Looking about the room, she opted to hide Luis at the side of the BB world arcade cabinet. Gently, she lifted him up and sat him down within the gap between the metal and the wall. It was a tight squeeze, but Luis's thin frame fit just fine as the walls propped him up in a sitting position. She hoped that he'd be safe here.

The more she looked at Luis's the more she wanted to stay. If Glitchtrap was simply a man holding her hostage, she'd run away with Luis and never look back. Yet whilst she was a hostage, her captor was a spectral entity and had taken up residence inside her brain, latching on so that no matter where she ran, the monster would always be not even a step behind.

She had to leave her beloveds side for now to deliver the vial that should guarantee his safety.

Uncertainty crept over her as she lingered too long on the word 'should'. William was both the homicidal mascot, Glitchtrap, but also the refined businessman of the Afton family, so he should keep his end of the bargain and let Luis escape alive now she had fulfilled her end of the deal. After all, even if he looked like a stupid oversized plush toy, his business man habits still stood.

Even though she hated what she had to do to Luis, the fact remained that there were no other options. She was not going to subject Luis to the same torment she had to endure, she wasn't going to let him bleed out before her. She only hoped that he didn't forget too much. He was still her beacon of hope for escape, even now; his knowledge of the arcades would still be her key in escaping this hell.

As Ness crawled out of the hidden room, she saw an unfriendly pair of eyes staring her down. Instinctively, she knew that this person knew of her, and that she was now face-to-face with an 'exec', an executive of Fazbear Entertainment: with white hair and red eyes, this man was likely the son of the infamous C location manager, Daniel D., and the attitude must be heradatory too.

"Where is Luis Cabrera." The exec asked, his venom filled voice booming in the small room.

Ness's body didn't feel like her own anymore - as if it has ever been her own this past month, it had only been tonight after stabbing Luis the first time when she had recaptured any bastion of control, only to have it ripped away again. Her body was was moving on its own. 'I don't know', she wanted to lie, but the words "in there" came out instead in a sickly sweet and static drenched perversion of her real voice as her arm involuntarily moved and pointed to the hole in the wall from where she had just crawled from.

The exec simply nodded and crawled inside. By the 'there he is' that Ness heard, she knew that the exec had found Luis almost immediately. So much for the gap between the side of the arcade cabinet and the wall being a safe hiding spot.

She couldn't bring herself to move. She knew what execs were like, and she feared what the man would do to her beloved.

She didn't want her beloved to wind up like the poor technician before him. Why did she ever think that room was a safe hiding spot? That was the exact room the previous man who tried to glitch the arcades was shot! And Luis would be next.

Shaking, she sunk to her knees. Had her efforts had been for naught? A part of her wished that she did let Luis bleed out back in Fazerblast, calm and smiling in her arms. She did not know if the side with that thought was her, or the cage that she was normally trapped inside, but this time, she didn't care.

Reaching into her jacket, she grabbed the vial of remnant, ready to crush the vial the second a gunshot sounded, but there was no shot yet. Only yelling. But she didn't know how long it'd last.

She felt a presence over her shoulder, and a rough hand with purple nails with faded yellow and redish pink star transfers still adorning the surface.

She didn't need words to speak to her sister. Actions did just fine.

As Sylvia snuck into the secret room, moving quieter than even she could, Ness followed. Her movement were muffled by the yelling which was now a rather one-sided back-and-forth.

Ness wasn't surprised to see a gun in the execs hand, but she was surprised that he hadn't fired a single bullet yet. Not even a warning shot. But she counted herself and Luis lucky; Faz Ent' had sent someone bent on extracting a confession prior to putting the unlucky victim down, and fortunately, Luis wasn't cooperating.

But the exec's patience soon begun to wear thin.

Sylvia primed herself to attack as the exec raised his gun to Luis's head.

Ness found herself frozen to the spot, unable to move, even if she wanted to.

"MOVE!"

A deafening yell was followed by an even more deafening gunshot.

She would have swore that her heart would have stopped and shattered if she didn't hear Luis screaming in agony. Despite the blood soaking into his shirt, flowing from his shoulder, he was alive.

And Sylvia had pinned the exec to the ground and Ness helped her hold him down as Sylvia bound the bastard with cable ties. Ness wanted to make sure that he'd never lay a finger near Luis again, but she knew better when in her own mind to not add another body to the ever growing pile. At least her beloved was safe, and not only that, prevented an innocent from dying to her hands this night.

Sylvia went over to Luis to check on him, and then turned to Ness and nodded. "He's still alive. I'll take the exec, you take Luis."

As Sylvia grabbed the exec and dragged him out, no regard for the integrity of the man's body, Ness turned to Luis, who she noticed had passed out cold.

"I guess I get to have you in my arms one last time. Again." She smiled to herself as she carefully picked up Luis and gently dragged him out of the hidden room, before resuming a bridal style carry.

She followed behind her sister who was crudely dragging the exec behind her by the collar of the man's shirt, letting his broken body drag behind.

Turning her attention back to Luis, she noted that his breathing was shallow again. She knew he'd die if not given medical attention, but the full lobby gave her hope. Surely, one of the tens, no, probably at least a hundred members of staff that were locked behind would know how to treat her beloveds wounds.

The main lobby was a sea of people, and she could feel every stare that came her way. But she knew they weren't staring at her. The disassembled staffbots showed that thier only two concerns were 'is that a human' and 'is the man in her arms alive'. The answer to both was yes, she hoped.

She followed Sylvia to a small group of survivors who she recognised, one guard being the son of a friendly acquaintance, and another, a child, the girl that William had tried so hard to make her kill.

William wasn't dumb enough to try to attack someone in effective broad daylight, so the girl was safe.

After setting Luis down, the red haired guard immediately begun to tend to Luis's wounds with the precision of a forest ranger, but she knew she couldn't stay to see him wake.

Stealing one last glance at Luis, She walked back up the stairs, feeling no eyes on her, and entered the elevator.

Luis was alive. Therefore, she had a vial of remnant to deliver.
