So hey guys! TheTombedSpirit here! Listen, some of you may have read my FNaF origin story; How It All Began. And I realized that, I really liked writing that, and when I got a review from my soul reviewer of the story, stating that they were pretty upset that the series had to end so soon, that I thought of making something different.
Enjoy!
FIVE NIGHTS AT FREDDY'S: Between The Middle.
Chapter One: And So It Begins.
It was nearly dark as a truck made it's way to Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria. It had closed down for twelve years later after the disappearance of those teenagers, but a new manager came and reopened the place, having the Toy Animatronics in pieces in the back room, replacing them with the originals.
The truck finally arrived at the Pizzeria and the driver hit the brakes.
"So you got the Animatronics?" the manager asked, the driver nodded, "Yep. They're all in there. Freddy Fazbear himself, Bonnie the Bunny, Chica the Chicken and Foxy the Pirate. They even gave us the Diner Duo and the Toy Animatronic parts, even that creepy looking doll thing."
"Wait, why did you get the Diner Duo and the Toy parts? No-one is gonna want to see them, especially Fredbear." "I know, that's what I said. But they just told me 'Listen, we won't be using the Toy parts or the Diner Duo anytime soon, maybe you could use them if things get rough.'" the manager seemed to consider this, before nodding, "Okay. They can stay, I guess, but if they go out of whack, or malfunction, then they're going on a one way ticket to the dump! Understand?"
The driver nodded. The manager looked over at some of the employees that were standing there, "Well? What are you waiting for? Get that truck unloaded!"
After putting the Toy parts and the Diner Duo in the backstage, and the originals in their places, the employees left, locking the doors, turning the lights off. It was quiet for a while before the lights came back on. Then something appeared in the middle of the room.
It was Marionette!
She looked around. The place needed a little work, but they can do it. Speaking of they! She turned to the stage, to see that the others were standing there, leaning down slightly. They were asleep. They had been this way since the day they accepted to help her and her brother get revenge. Having giving life from a magical puppet and their own human soul, they wont ever be able to shut down, no matter what the staff does to them.
"Guys? You can wake up now!" Marionette exclaimed cheerfully, "We're finally home!" she shouted, turning to the new Pirate Cove, where her elder brother, Foxy, was just exiting the stage, rubbing his one eye under the patch.
"How long have we been asleep? What year is it?" he asked, his voice not that phony pirate accent. He only turned that on when he was around adults or children. Marionette walked over to him, taking his hand and placing the other one on top of it, "1999." Foxy's eye-patch flipped up to show his other golden eye, "What?! We've been sleeping for that long?!" they turned to see that their companions, Freddy Fazbear, Bonnie the Bunny and Chica the Chicken were starting to activate again, rubbing their sore eyes.
Freddy was the one that spoke.
"No wonder I feel sleepy." Chica yawned as she made her way to them, Foxy met her half way and hugged her. If what his sister said was true, they had been asleep for twelve years! They had a lot of catching up to do. Then he realized that someone was missing from their little come-back-together.
"Where's Fredbear?" the puppet's nearly permanent smile grew a little bigger, "Don't worry brother, he is already awake, and is having a look around, to see what the place is like." Suddenly, Fredbear appeared right in between them, "And it looks amazing so far!" He said in that innocent little voice, that Foxy adored so much. He still couldn't believe that he had treated his brother so cruelly when they were human. Foxy wrapped his arms around his little brother, as though to make up for all the things he did in their human times, he does it whenever he sees him.
"It's good to see you again little brother." the Pirate whispered, feeling oily tears come to his eye, Fredbear wrapped his arms around his crimson-furred brother, "I missed you too." Since the Faz Gang became the Fazbear Family and join the twins in their quest for vengeance, they had been closer then ever before!
"I'm going to go see if the kitchen has something to eat! We may be robots, but our souls still gotta eat!" Chica exclaimed as the others laughed lightly. When they were human, Chica was the original cook in the Gang, she would fix the guys up all sorts of meals! That was another reason why Foxy loved her.
"While she's doing that, I'm gonna tune up my guitar and start playing a sick house warming song!" With that, Bonnie hopped away, literally.
"I'm gonna have a look into the office and see who works here, I don't want any troublemakers in my new home!" Freddy announced as he strode off, twirling his microphone in between his fingers.
That left the three siblings alone in front of the stage, "And we'll just be here..." Marionette mumbled, causing her brothers to laugh slightly. Foxy looked one way and noticed two hall ways, and a light at the end of them.
"Foxy?" he looks back the golden bear who had spoken to him, "Are you alright?" he smiles quickly. "Yeah, I'm fine, I'm just gonna check something out. Be back in a moment." And with that, he walked off, leaving a confused puppet and bear in the Party Room.
He walked down the hall and peered through the window to see what he could see. It looked like some sort of office. Two doors, four buttons, a desk, a few television screens, a little cupcake plush and a tablet. And sitting in a chair was a young man!
He had slightly tanned skin, light blue eyes, brown hair and a shaved beard. He was wearing a light blue uniform, with a black and white label on both of the shoulders of the button-up shirt that said 'Fazbear Night Security' and a white name tag on the side of the chest that said 'S. Cawthon'. He was sipping out of a soda can, checking the tablet.
"He must be a night guard or something." Foxy thought as he knocked on the window with his hook, gently. The man looked up, with a bored expression, but it shifted to terror when he saw the tall Pirate Fox. He slammed the door shut on him, taking him by surprise.
"Hey! What was that for?!" he shouted, knocking on the door, shocked of the man's behavior, before realizing that he wasn't human anymore. He was a robot now. No wonder the man was scared.
"I understand why you are scared, but... one day I hope you realize me and my friends don't mean you any harm." he walked away, where his brother was waiting for him at the end of the strangely dark hallway.
"What was that all about?" he asked increasingly. The technically older brother shrugged, "I dunno. I guess I might have spooked him. I mean, he didn't really expect us to come to life now, did he?" they both laughed, then Fredbear started to smirk, "I could always just zap myself in there and give him a good scare." Foxy laughed even harder, "Who want's to bet that as soon as he see's you in the room, that he'll wet himself." "And no doubt scream 'don't eat me! Please!'"
Fredbear only meant for that to be a joke, but Foxy took on a guilty expression as he remembered what happened that day. Fredbear noticed, "Hey, I said it before, your forgiven. I've forgiving you a long time ago." "Your words never quenches my guilt. Or my nightmares..." Fredbear's eyes became really sympathetic, "You mean the one about that Animatronic black bear, telling you it's all your doing?"
Foxy only nodded. Fredbear let out a sigh and hugged him. Foxy hugged him back, needing the comfort. "Ever since you-you died, I have been having nightmares of me being a little kid being hunted down by hellish versions of our forms. But Nightmare was the worst of them. He laughed mockingly at me, blaming me for my mistake."
"Don't think about it, brother. Yesterday is history. Tomorrow, a mystery. Today, a choice. We need to choose where to go from here." Fredbear told him, wisely. Foxy chuckled at how cliche that sounded.
"Thanks little bro'."
"Hey guys!" the two jumped at Bonnie's voice, "Get over here! Chica made pizza!" they laughed gently, Fredbear cupped his paws around his mouth, "What do you expect?! We live in a Pizzeria!" he called out to the bunny, making the fox laugh. He slung his hook-arm around his shoulder.
After so long, they finally have a new home.
