I'm back! I know it's been a very long time since I've updated or really done anything at all. I've just had really bad writer's block and school has kept me very busy lately. And I really am sorry about that. So, in order to hopefully get some of my creativity back, I decided to write a Ninjago parody of the very popular video game, Five Nights at Freddy's.
The characters are:
Jay -Mike (Security Guard)
Lloyd - Phone Guy
Cole - Freddy
Zane - Bonnie
Kai - Chica
Nya- Foxy
Yes, I know Foxy is a guy and Chica is a girl but you'll see why I did this later in the story.
Enjoy!
Disclaimer: I don't own Ninjago or Five Nights at Freddy's
My name is Jay Walker. And I have the worst job on the planet. I was really in need of money. My job of being a cashier at the local super market just wasn't doing it for me. So, I took a job of being a security guard for 5 nights at an old pizza place called, 'Ninjago's Pizzeria.' It's only my second night here and I can honestly say that taking this job was the worst mistake I've ever made. Because now, I'm stuck here for 3 more nights with 4 killer animatronics banging on the doors of my office and peering through my window, all of them trying to find a way inside to stuff me inside an extra ninja suit. Now, you're probably thinking, "Jay, why don't you just quit?" Well, I tried that. But Mr. Wu, the owner of this crazy ass place won't let me leave. He said, "If you don't show up, I'll find you and drag you back here." So, yeah. My life sucks. I bet you're also thinking, "Oh come on it can't be that bad." Actually, it is. See, this company is obviously very, very, very, cheap, as I only have a limited amount of power to last me 6 HOURS! And my only defense against the animatronics are 2 doors and lights, which of course, cost a lot of power to use.
"Oh crap, where's Zane?!" I cry as I flip through each of the security cameras.
I pull the monitor down and check my left door light. As the lights flicker on, I see the white, animatronic bunny staring right at me. My hand instantly flies to the red button above the light button and the safety door comes crashing down in front of Zane. I wait a minute before checking the lights again and see that he is finally gone. I check the cameras and see that Zane is standing in the supply closet.
"Yeah, stay in there you freak." I say angrily before gently pressing the left door button. I really need to save power.
I turn to check my right door light and see a fiery red bird staring directly at me. I slam my fist against the door button and watch as the bird scowls at me before leaving.
"Screw you too Kai." I grunt before checking the cameras again.
I look at show stage and sigh in relief as Cole has not moved. However, after taking a closer look, I notice he has turned and is staring directly at me.
"Creep..." I whisper before changing the camera.
I take a quick peek at 'Samurai Cove' and gasp at the sight. The dark red curtains are wide open and I immediately know what's coming. Having only a few seconds to react, I quickly reach for the left door button, praying that the samurai fox doesn't catch me. Just as the door closes, I hear heavy footfalls stop suddenly and a loud groan of frustration echoes through the hallway. The fox knocks loudly on my door before she begins to walk away.
"I'll get you someday..." I hear her whisper.
Checking the cameras to make sure she's gone, I open the left door and let out a sigh of relief. That was very close. I swear, if I get caught, I'm totally going to sue this place. Well, if I survive that is...
"Thank you again for this opportunity sir." I say happily as I shake Mr. Wu's hand. Finally, after weeks of searching for a better job, I've found one! Night watch!
"You're welcome, Jay. Now I trust that you can handle the night watch, hmm?" Mr. Wu asks me softly.
"Oh yes sir! Anything you need me to do, I can handle it." I spit out happily.
"Alright. Now your job is very simple. You will be given access to all of the security cameras in this building and with those cameras-"
"Um... What are the cameras used for?" I ask quickly.
Mr. Wu frowns at me before speaking again. "If you would have allowed me to finish. Anyway-"
"Sorry, sir. Sometimes I have a bad habit of cutting people off."
The old man's frown seems to grow larger as his eyes narrow at me.
"You will use the cameras to ensure the safety of my animatronics and make sure nothing... happens to them-"
"Like what? What could happen to them? Would someone break in? Who the heck would break into a pizzeria? Unless they wanted free pizza. That would be the only thing that would make sense-"
"ENOUGH!" Mr. Wu shouts loudly.
Wow. That was so rude. He totally just cut me off.
"You are not here to make sure no one breaks in... You are here to make sure no one leaves..." The old man whispers softly as he strokes his long, white beard.
"Um... Pardon?" I ask softly. Oh, he's just joking... Right?
"Come. Let me introduce you to the animatronics." Mr. Wu states as he leads me into the dining area. I glance around and see multiple children laughing, talking, and shoving pizza down their throats. One kid stares at me while snot drips slowly out of his nose.
Gross...
"Jay, say hello to my family." Mr. Wu says cheerfully as he gesticulates to three animatronics on a small stage.
Family? Okay... This guy is really weird.
"Um... Hello!" I say happily and try to resist laughing.
"This is Cole." Mr. Wu points to a large brown bear in a black ninja suit. I also notice that Cole has a microphone in one hand and... and a golden scythe in the other. "He's the leader of the group and is very courageous."
Um... Okay dude... Whatever.
"This is Zane." The man then points to the animatronic on Cole's right. Zane is a purple bunny with a white ninja suit and is slightly shorter then Cole. He is armed with two golden shurikens that look rather... sharp. "Zane is very kind and helpful. He also has no sense of humor whatsoever."
Huh... My complete opposite. I mean about the humor part... I am a kind and friendly person.
"Then there's Kai..." Mr. Wu points to the animatronic at the end of the stage. Kai is a yellow chicken wearing a red ninja suit and armed with a golden sword. "Kai can be very fiery and aggressive, yet also very friendly. He cares a lot about his family."
Why do these characters have so much backstory.
"Mr. Wu? I thought you said there were 4 animatronics." I ask.
"Oh, yes... Let me introduce you to her." The old man then walks to a smaller area across from the main stage. There are dark red curtains pulled back to reveal a small, animatronic dressed as a samurai.
"Welcome to Samurai Cove. This is Nya. Our newest member of the Ninjago family." Mr. Wu states happily. Nya is a red fox dressed in samurai armor and is much shorter then the other animatronics.
"Wow... She's kinda hot..." I unintentionally say out loud.
Mr. Wu turns and smacks me hard against the top of my head.
"You are not here to date my animatronics. You are here to protect them." The man says angrily. His face then softens a bit and hismvoice turns to a whisper. "Promise me you will take care of them..."
"I-I promise."
He then smiles at me. "Congratulations, you are a part of our family now."
I arrive at the pizzeria at exactly 12:00. Unlocking the door with the key Mr. Wu gave me, I quickly rush to the security office at the end of the building. I sit down in the office chair and pick up the monitor that Mr. Wu had mentioned. I then start to flip through all of the different cameras to get an idea of where everything is. Everything looks the same as I saw today except for Samurai Cove, which now has its curtain pulled across it. I then decide to take in my surroundings. Scattered across the walls are multiple posters of the animatronics and sitting in front of me, is a large desk. On the desk itself is a small fan, multiple computer screens and a small piece of cake with animatronic eyes on it. I also take notice of the two entrances on either side of the office, each have 2 buttons that say 'Door' and 'Light'. What are those for?
Reaching my left hand out, I gently press the left 'Door' button. Suddenly, a medal door comes sliding down and covers up the left entrance.
Whoa. Why would a pizza place need this?
I then press the door button again and the door instantly slides up revealing the darkened hallway. Gently, I press the button under it entitled 'Light'. Bright lights flicker to life and give me a clear view of the hallway.
Seriously! Why does this place have these?!
I'm startled by the loud sound of a phone ringing. I look around, but see no phone anywhere.
"Where is that coming from?"
The phone suddenly stops ringing and a message starts to play.
"Hello, hello? Uh, I wanted to record a message for you to help you on your first night. Um, I actually work the shift before you. My name is Lloyd and I'm here to help give some tips on how to survi- I mean do your job. Uh, you'll do fine. So, let's just focus on getting you through your first week. Ok? So, just to let you know, the characters do tend to walk around at night. Uh... I mean they'll just kind of go wherever they please... Even your office... But i-it's really nothing to worry about, I mean the only real risk to you, if any, is that these characters, uh, if they happen to see you probably won't see you as a person. They'll most likely see you as a nindroid endoskeleton without its costume on. And um... th-they may attempt to... forcefully stuff you inside an extra ninja suit. Um, now, that wouldn't be so bad if they weren't filled with crossbeams, wires, and animatronic devices. So how do you prevent this? Well, as you've probably already noticed, you have emergency doors and lights. But, uh... Don't use those for too long otherwise you'll run out of power and uh... that would be bad. Y-Yeah, they don't tell you these things when you get the job. But hey, first day will be really easy. I'll talk to you tomorrow. Uh, check those cameras, and remember to close the doors only if absolutely necessary. Gotta save power. Good night."
"...What?"
I sit completely still, unable to believe my ears.
They... move?
He can't be serious... Right?
It's just a prank on the new guy.
Then why are there these doors?
They can't move...
It's impossible...
I pull up the monitor and see that it is now 1:00 A.M. and I have 84% power left.
"Alright Jay, just calm down..." I whisper to myself. "You'll be fine... Th-they won't hurt you..."
It's 4 A.M... Nothing has happened yet. I have 57% power left . I would occasionally check the lights and monitor to see if anyone has moved. Thankfully... They haven't. Yeah, that had to be a joke... Wait, where's Zane? I check the party room and almost scream as I see the animatronic standing there. Oh my gosh... He moved! I feel panic run through my blood as I stare blankly at the screen. This can't be happening! It's impossible! The screen suddenly goes black and my panic multiplies.
"What the hell is happening!?"
The screen soon returns to normal but Zane is gone. I cycle through the cameras and see that Zane is inside the supply closet.
"What are you doing in there?"
Oh wait, maybe it's better that you stay in there.
I check the show stage and see that Kai has moved now. Oh no... I fly through each camera and see that Kai is now near the bathrooms... staring directly at the camera. A chill runs down my spine as those terrifying eyes stare into my soul... Maybe I should change the camera... I flip over to Samurai Cove and see a helmeted face is slightly peeking out.
Well that's new...
However what shocks me is the animatronic stares directly at the camera and WINKS at me! My cheeks turn red before I change the camera to check on Zane. Where is he?
I pull the monitor down before flicking on the door lights. What I saw will forever be etched into my mind. Standing in the doorway is the animatronic bunny, a blank stare on his face.
"Hello." Zane says softly.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" I scream before slamming my fist against the door button.
"I just wanted to say hi..." I hear a saddened voice whisper.
I sit in my chair slowly rocking myself. This can't be happening... This can't be happening...
I hear noises coming from my right and check the lights. The sight I'm met with is worst than the last... Kai is staring through my window, his jaw hanging open slightly.
"'Sup?" The Chicken asks.
My right hand soon finds itself pressed against the right door button as I scream.
"Dude... Not cool..." Kai whispers before leaving.
I fall to the floor shaking softly. Fear is coursing throughout my body. I can't move or really do anything. It is not until after 5:A.M. that I finally pull myself together. Sitting up, I slid back into my seat and check the cameras. I also notice that my power is at 10%! Oh no. I forgot to open the doors! My hands fumble for the door buttons while I panic. It's 5:30 and I only have 10% left! I can't do anything or I'll run out of power. But if I do nothing then they'll kill me. I pull up the monitor and check each room quickly. Zane is in the dining area and Kai is in the kitchen as I hear pots being moved around. And Cole is still on the stage. Good... But wait... I quickly check Samurai Cove and see that the curtains are wide open. Where'd she go?! I move the camera to the next room and see the samurai sprinting down the hallway. I shut the left door as quickly as I can, praying that I won't die. I catch a glimpse of the helmeted face just as my left door closes.
"Hey!" I hear a feminine voice shout from behind the door. The animatronic bangs on the door loudly before shouting, "C'mon let me in... I won't hurt you..."
"Yeah right!" I reply scared of what her response would be.
"C'mon Jay... I thought you said I was hot..."
I felt my face burn before I said. "Yeah, that was before I learned that you wanted to kill me!"
"Kill you? We don't want to kill you?! C'mon just let me in..." Nya purrs softly and I almost consider opening the door. However, I stop myself before I make another terrible life choice. Yeah... I'll let you in so you can stuff me in a suit... Not gonna happen... I sit quietly for a few minutes waiting for the fox to finally walk away.
"Fine..." The voice huffs angrily.
I pull up the monitor and see that Nya has finally left and I have... 0%.
Damn...
Suddenly all power goes out...
I hear footsteps approach my left door before an animatronic face appears. It's eyes glow to life as creepy music plays. I soon realize that it's Cole himself who has come to kill me. I sit in my chair, frozen in fear praying to God that Cole will spare me. His song plays for about 10 minutes before his lights flicker off and I'm enveloped in darkness.
I breath softly knowing that these will be the last breaths I ever take. I hear heavy footsteps approach me and then...
A loud bell rings throughout the building as the lights suddenly come on. Cole is gone and it takes me a moment to figure out what has happened.
It's... 6 A.M.?
I survived?
I let out a huge cry of happiness as relief floods over me. I did it! I survived! I rush out of the office with a huge smile on my face. I run to the show stage knowing that the animatronics can't hurt me now.
"Haha! Screw you Cole! I'm never comimg back here again! Bye!" I turn on my heel until something grabs my arm.
"You think you can get out of this job that easily?" A deep voice says. "Please..."
I turn around and see Cole is staring down at me, a large grin on his face.
"See you tonight..."
So, what did you think? Liked it? Hated it? Anyway regarding my other stories, I do plan to update them soon so look out for those. Also, should I continue or just leave it here? Thank you for reading and please review. Later!
