Ace: "I remember you." Ace says coldly as she glares at Moon. "You're the one that loves to see others suffer." She says as she moves as far as she can.
Moon laughs, not at all put off by Ace's accusation. He grins wider, taking a step closer to her.
Moon: "Guilty as charged, my dear. I do have a certain... appreciation for the darker side of things. But don't tell me a tough cookie like you is afraid of a little suffering?"
Ace: "Try me, BITCH." Ace says with a snarl as she bares her fangs at Moon. She's dead serious.
Moon's eyes widen briefly in surprise at Ace's sudden aggressive response, but he quickly recovers his wicked grin. He takes another step closer, undeterred.
Moon: "My my, how delightful! I do love a feisty one." He chuckles darkly. "But I must warn you, little wolf, you're playing with fire. You have no idea what I'm truly capable of..."
The others watch the tense exchange nervously, unsure of how to intervene. Freddy steps forward slightly, trying to diffuse the situation.
Freddy: "Hey now, let's all just calm down here. No need for things to get heated, alright? Ace, Moon didn't mean any harm. We're all friends here."
Vanessa nods in agreement, eyeing the volatile animatronics warily.
Vanessa: "I think it's best we find Gregory first and foremost. Once we locate him, maybe we can all sit down and have a calm discussion..."
Monty and Roxanne exchange uneasy glances, both seeming to hold their breath, waiting to see how the confrontation between Ace and Moon will unfold.
Ace: "I remember Moon. He was active back when I was." Ace says as she glares at Moon. "You guys don't know him like I do. You have no idea what he's done." She says grimly, remembering the kids that went missing from the daycare.
Moon's grin fades slightly as Ace references his dark past. He tilts his head, studying her with a newfound intensity.
Moon: "Ah, so you were here during my previous tenure? How... disappointing. I had no idea any animatronics still remembered my reign of terror." He chuckles darkly. "But I must admit, you're right. I have done things, terrible things... things that would make even the most hardened animatronics tremble in fear."
He takes another step closer to Ace, his voice lowering to a sinister whisper.
Moon: "So tell me, little wolf, are you ready to face the dark truth? To confront the monster that lurks within me? Because I assure you, I am more than capable of making your worst nightmares come true..."
Ace instantly grabs Moon by the throat and lifts him off his feet.
Ace: "There is nothing I can do to bring back those children, so I will gladly take you out if I must!" She says as she glares at him. "I'm supposed to keep the kids safe, and I will never fail again!" She says with a vicious snarl. Her failure to protect those children in the past is what keeps her up at night.
Moon's eyes widen in shock as Ace suddenly grabs him by the throat, lifting him off the ground with surprising strength. He makes a choking sound, claws scrabbling at her iron grip.
Moon: "Gh-hah! Well, well... it seems I underestimated you, little wolf." He manages to wheeze out, a hint of fear flickering in his eyes for the first time. "You're either very brave... or very foolish, attacking me like this."
The others watch in stunned silence, scarcely believing what they're seeing. Vanessa steps forward, alarmed.
Vanessa: "Ace, stop this at once! We can't have animatronics attacking each other, especially not in a place meant to be safe for children!"
Ace: "NO CHILD WILL EVER BE SAFE IF HE'S HERE!" Ace shouts angrily. "I failed once, but I will never fail again."
Moon's face starts to turn red as Ace squeezes tighter, his eyes bulging. He claws desperately at her iron grip, but she doesn't relent. The others watch in horror, unsure of how to intervene without making the situation worse.
Freddy steps forward cautiously, his voice strained with urgency.
Freddy: "Ace, please, you need to calm down and put Moon down. I know you're upset, but this isn't the way to handle it. We can find a solution that doesn't involve violence."
Vanessa nods vehemently in agreement, her hands raised in a placating gesture.
Vanessa: "Ace, I understand you're hurting and angry, but hurting Moon like this isn't going to bring those children back. Please, we need to focus on keeping Gregory safe now and finding a better way to move forward."
Monty and Roxanne exchange uneasy glances, both seeming to hold their breath, waiting to see if Ace will heed the warnings of the others.
The room is tense with a mix of fear, shock, and confusion as the confrontation reaches a fever pitch. Ace's claws dig into Moon's throat, her grip unyielding as she struggles to come to terms with her past failures and the immediate threat Moon represents.
