Hello! This is the first chapter of the story, and due to having to do some set up, it involves murder. Most chapters following this will not be quite so morbid. I hope you enjoy!
"NO! Leave me alone! I didn't do anything!" A teenage boy screamed scrambling backwards.
"Ah, that's what they all say. You did do something. You were a bad boy." The man said with a sickening grin as he advanced on the boy, knife held at the ready. The teen jumped to his feet and tried to run only to be cornered in the Kid's Cove.
"What better place to punish you then at the scene of your crime?" The man asked. His grin grew wider, and his eyes grew wilder.
"What are you talking about!? I haven't done anything!" The boy yelled as he looked frantically for an escape.
"You ignored them! All Toy Foxy and the others wanted was love! You dumb teens come in here with your families, play on your phones, and show no gratitude for what these performers do for you! You must be punished!" The man yelled as he lunged forward, forcing the blade in his hand hilt deep into the boy's stomach. He pulled it out stabbing again and again until the boy's cries and movements ceased.
He stared down at the punished child. His grin starting to fade. What a mess. Messes are bad. Must clean up the mess. He flinched looking at all the blood and the limp body. That was the first thing to take care of. He went over to the white mechanical fox, gently removing it's head. He heaved the body up and shoved it into the suit forcing it against the endoskeleton.
The boy screamed, apparently still alive. The pain of the metal endoskeleton cutting his skin and and breaking his bones forced him back into consciousness. The man stepped back, surprised that he hadn't punished the boy adequately. He took his knife and with a swift hit to the head from the hilt of the blade the boy was knocked out.
"If he isn't punished enough yet the suit will finish him. Although I am awfully sorry I failed at my punishments." The man said as he resumed his stuffing and cleaning.
"What's he doing?" Toy Chica asked, leaning around the corner to peak into the Kid's Cove. Toy Foxy stood there smiling at the kids, but his eyes were blank. Typically the AI should have made him appear happy completely and thoroughly, yet, for some reason, he looked almost…. Dead.
"I dunno man. Maybe he's like, broken or something? We can ask after closing." Toy Bonnie said with a shrug.
"I suggest both of you just leave him alone! We have work to do! Stop bugging Toy Foxy and find some kids to entertain. It is our job you know!" Toy Freddy said, shooing the two other animatronics away. As he went to perform his duties he took a glance at Toy Foxy, flinching at the lifelessness.
Once the restaurant was closed up for the night the animatronics jumped off stage and all headed towards Kid's Cove.
"Do you think Toy Foxy is okay?" Toy Chica asked in a concerned tone.
"Of course! He most probably didn't get a good enough charge and was just running low." Toy Freddy replied in a huff.
"Yeah man, chill. I'm sure Toy Foxy was just out of his groove today." Toy Bonnie said with a confident smile.
As the Toys got closer to Kid's Cove they heard a loud screechy sound. Toy Chica walked more slowly, scared by the strange sound. Toy Freddy and Toy Bonnie both rushed forward though. They almost couldn't make it to the Kid's Cove. At it's origin the sound was so loud and so high pitched it felt like their wires were being fried.
"Toy Foxy! What are you doing!" Toy Freddy asked as he finally was able to focus enough to see what was happening. Toy Foxy's paws were digging into his throat, causing the horrifying sound as his speech module was horribly damaged. Toy Freddy yanked Toy Foxy's arms away from his throat and the horrible screeching quieted to a buzzing static.
"Bro, what the heck? You okay?" Toy Bonnie asked cautiously approaching the damaged animatronic.
"Your… Fault." Was all the animatronics could make out through the static. Toy Freddy let go of Toy Foxy's arms.
"It's alright frie-" Toy Freddy tried to say before ducking as Toy Foxy pulled at his endoskeleton ripping off piece and throwing it at the animatronic bear. Toy Foxy was completely enraged. He lunged at the other animatronics aiming to damage them in sensitive areas. The Toys ran, leading Toy Foxy towards the parts and service area.
"HELP!" Toy Chica screeched as loud as she could. The door to Parts and Service swung open and four older animatronics tumbled out to meet an insane Toy Foxy. His jaws snapped viciously and his suit and endoskeleton was broken in multiple places.
All but one of the older animatronics raced back into the safety of the Parts and Service room at the sight of the raging fox.
"Aye lad. I know how it is. Yer safe now though. You're under the protection of Cap'n Foxy and his hearty crew! We won't let nothin hurt ye." Foxy stood calmly as the raging animatronic barreled towards him. Toy Foxy bashed into him, but the old animatronic stood fast. The Toy's jaws snapped, trying to find a place to snap on to, but the suit on Foxy was already tattered, so all he did was scrape his metal teeth against Foxy's metal endoskeleton.
After a few more tries at damaging Foxy, Toy Foxy calmed down enough to speak as well as he could through the static. "Their….Fau-...Fault." He mumbled motioning towards the other Toy animatronics.
"Lad they didn't do none of this damage to ya. That's all on ye." Foxy said calmly.
"Killed…...Their fault." Toy Foxy repeated.
The older animatronics nodded. They understood all of a sudden. Each of the older animatronics only functioned due to the spirits haunting them.
"We understand young one. I do not understand why you rage though. Each of us only cried when we were put down. I suppose you may handle things differently. Let us fix you up for business tomorrow and then we can find a solution to your anger." Freddy said in a gentle, calm tone. Toy Foxy nodded, his jaw now hanging slack and flapping as he did so.
The other Toy animatronics snuck off towards the stage, still shaking in fear.
"Just stand here and Bonnie and Chica can fix you right up for business tomorrow. Please just keep yourself calm and collected until then. What you need is rest and being upset or angry makes it harder for you to charge. Freddy said calmly.
As Chica and Bonnie worked quickly to repair the broken down animatronic Foxy watched, shaking his head in confusion.
"There be somethin different about this one matey." Foxy whispered to Freddy.
"Perhaps it is just due to it being his first night?" Freddy suggested hopefully.
"No matey. He's damaged in the mind. You don't really remember your death do you?" Foxy asked in a worried tone.
"No of course not. None of us do, you know that." Freddy said, confused.
"That be what I'm saying matey. He do. And that means their ain't no healin for him." Foxy said shaking his head.
"We can't be around him then. His anger might rub off on the other two. You know they are more sensitive to emotions from others for some reason." Freddy said, concerned.
"Aye. I feel bad for the lad, but we gotta worry 'bout our own." Foxy said with a tone of finality. After tonight, the older animatronics would no longer associate with Toy Foxy.
