Nightmare, who was a monster trapped in Freddy's head was freed with the help of Mangle who turned out to be a traitor. The animatronics attempted to escape but got separated, Chica Freddy, Foxy, Toy Bonnie, Balloon Boy, and JJ were the group that failed to escape and were taken prisoner by Nightmare. After getting knocked by a punch from Mangle, Chica, and the others woke up in one of the rooms which was blocked by a force field. They began making assumptions about the escaping group until Nightmare Foxy walked in, and took Chica away. He led her to the main room, where Shadow Freddy commanded him to put Chica in a cage. She was used as a witness to Mangle executing Foxy to show her loyalty. After Foxy was killed, she was led back to the room where she told the others what happened. Chica was waiting with Freddy BB and JJ, after Toy Bonnie tried a failed suicide mission. Suddenly, Toy Chica showed up and claimed that she was from the future. When she asked them what happened to Foxy, Chica described what she saw, and how Mangle murdered Foxy. Toy Chica eventually erased their memories, and Chica remained there with the others. They were imprisoned for 3 weeks, until the Nightmares used them to stage a crime scene as a distraction. They knocked them out and immobilized them, then immobilized their body and posed them next to dead cops.
