  • misterwolf Plot: In 1983, the mascot of Fredbear's Family Diner accidentally bites the frontal lobe of an 8-year-old boy. 36 years later, now in 2019, Fredbear, now known as Golden Freddy, watches the boy's older brother (as an adult) announce Fazbear Entertainment's revival; as Golden Freddy walks away in disappointment, Shadow Freddy, known as Professor Shadow and who is Golden Freddy's friend, tries to persuade him not to interfere or to exact revenge on Michael for shoving the boy into his mouth that day in 1883.

  • misterwolf After Golden Freddy refuses to relent, Professor Shadow goes to his mansion/laboratory/library. Golden Freddy supposedly orders the kidnapping of Freddy Fazbear, who is Michael's associate, but Freddy's longtime friends Bonnie and Chica, known as Razorblade and Starlight, subdue Golden Freddy's henchman Candy the Cat and save Freddy and Michael's daughter. Freddy is introduced by Professor Shadow to the Celestials, a superhero team formed by him and Golden Freddy himself before he became hardened.

  • misterwolf Michael's daughter, Shyla, worried that she will endanger everyone if she stays in the mansion, leaves to return to her father, but Freddy convinces her to stay before Golden Freddy, going by the name "Black Sinister", arrives and reveals that he is not after Freddy and is instead after Shyla. He knocks Freddy unconscious, and Candy carries Shyla; Golden Freddy's oldest friend, the Puppet, blocks the attack from the police, and the villains escape.

  • misterwolf Professor Shadow learns from Michael that Shyla has been kidnapped and instructs the Celestials to stop Golden Freddy. The team arrives at the original Freddy Fazbear's Pizza, where Golden Freddy has built a machine that, after being activated by Michael's DNA just before Golden Freddy kills him in front of the Celestials and Shyla, will enslave humanity. Golden Freddy's brotherhood is defeated, with Foxy, known as "Mutant", scratches Candy to death. Freddy decides to face Golden Freddy head-on, just before the final fight ensues. The Celestials manage to disrupt the machine and it malfunctions. In the ensuing fight, Freddy blasts the now-unstable machine and it explodes, knocking both him and Golden Freddy unconscious.

  • misterwolf In the aftermath, Professor Shadow visits an imprisoned Golden Freddy, who, knowing that the prison won't hold him, vows to continue his battle against humanity. Professor Shadow replies that the Celestials will be ready as the end credits roll.
