~Stealth's POV~
"Guys!" Yugi shouted happily sliding into the living room with me, Kez, Fuboo and Dawn as Angel wa in the library right now. "You know that job at that Pizza Place?"
"The one where all those guards died and that one quit, Mike I think he's called?" I hummed
"Yup, I got the job!" she grinned
Silence
"WHAT?!" we shouted
"That's great! We can now see what set these things off!" Fuboo grinned
"Find out what triggers them and we should have something soon!" Kez grinned
"I'll get the blackmail material in case the owner tries to pull something." Dawn stated looking at her phone. "Done, now I'm going to take some measurements."
I watched in shock as she speeds around Yugi with measuring tape while entering them into her phone.
"Uh, is no one freaking out at the fact that iI/i didn't get the job?!" I huffed "I could chop those things to bits!"
"Yeah.. That's kinda why they hired me. It was between the guy with the sword or the chick with the taser. The taser would do less damage to the animatronics so I was picked." she shrugged "Besides, Kez gave me the headset so I'll be talking to you guys while there so I should be fine."
"You'll be able to relay information?" I asked and she nodded
"It'll be verbally so I'll be talking as I learn something."
"Fine, but try not to die. Laura would be pissed if she finds out we let you go there at night."
~Night One~
The lights were off, we had snacks, soda, and we were ready for the night.
Even Rose was wary as we waited
We watched the cameras of the place while listening to the man's message to Yugi.
i"Yeah, when they see you at night they think that you're an endoskeleton and, thus, out of uniform. Once that is against the rules they'll force you head first into a Freddy Suit if they see you. Now, usually that wouldn't be a bad thing, but the suits have crossing wires, gears and various other things in them so you can see why that would be a bad thing. Just don't use up all your power and you should be fine."/i
I grimaced as we now knew why they attacked but scoffed at the idea of Yugi losing power.
"Well, I can just make some walls to seal the doors. That should keep me safe enough." she huffed
"Well, we kinda need you to roam around." Dawn stated "We have the cameras on our screen so we can warn you of the others."
"Uh, no." Yugi deadpanned "These things try to drag you off on sight and I'm not ithat/i heavy. I can't short them out either because they don't want them damaged."
"Come on! We'll pay attention and everything!" Dawn grinned
"As long as you stick to stunning them it should be fine kiddo." Kez pointed out
"They're right, when will we get another opportunity to map out all five days?" Fuboo stated
"Alright, I'll take a look around." Yugi sighed and we watched her peak into one of the hallways.
"It's clear." Kez stated and she nodded
"Alright, here we go." Yugi breathed and walked down the hallway and into the dining area. "Well, they're a hellovalot more threatening at night."
"Yeah well, they haven't roamed yet. I think they hate being spied on mostly so if they see you they might leave you be... I hope." I stated
"Uh... You might want to check again." Yugi stated and we saw that they were all looking at her. "Yeah... No, fuck this. I'm going back to the room."
The Rabbit, Bonnie I think, started moving
"If you touch me I will fry your processors so bad they'll scrap you." Yugi growled and it went back to the stage.
Though Freddy didn't look too happy.
"Kiddo, do the rest of your shift in the office because Freddy doesn't look happy." Kez said worriedly
"Fine." she huffed but stopped at a door "What the...?" Going into the door we looked warily at the apprehensive look Freddy had on it's face along with the others. "Uh... Guys? I smell blood in here but..." she vanished into the room and we heard shuffling from her mic "There's no blood in these things... So where?"
"Kiddo?"
"Was... Where?"
"What wrong Yug?" I asked
"There's... A suit missing." she stated
"Missing?" Fuboo blinked while the light of Dawn's phone illuminated the room
"Um, according to this. There's Foxy, Chica, Bonnie and Freddy." Dawn stated "Nothing about another one."
"What about the old place?" Yugi stated "This place was re-opened right? That means there was an old pizza joint. I'm finding parts that don't look like they belong, not from them though."
"Belong how?" I asked
"They're yellow."
"Yellow?" Kez blinked and we were all on our phones "I got something! There should be a room in there."
"The generator room?"
"No, um. Is there a map to the place you can get?" I asked "Because it looks like there should be another door."
"There's a vent on the floor..." she answered and we heard her sniff "Ugh! I found the source of the blood... Hold on, I'll cloak."
The sound of Yugi going invisible was heard and the grate being removed met our ears. A few minutes of shuffling she inhaled sharply and a scuffle sound was heard as well as the grate going back into place.
"Kiddo?" Kez asked worriedly as Yugi was hyperventilating, clearly trying to breath.
"I-*huff huff* I f-found... Wheeze.. I found it. A gold colored Freddy." she hissed almost silently
"Why are you whispering?" I asked
"Because the endoskeleton isn't in it." she answered just as quietly
"What?" Dawn asked
"The kids were killed by someone removing the endoskeleton and wearing Golden Freddy. There's rumors that a mini-game appeared on the tablet when the last place was open. There was a pink guy and a purple guy, purple guy was caught." she wheezed
"So?"
"Golden Freddy was emptied to kill the kids, it no-longer has a means to move and there's a possibility of one more killer out there." she wheezed "Golden Freddy was imoving/i."
The silence was deafening
We saw the door open and Yugi stepped out visibly shaking.
She pointed at the animatronics then at the wall a foot or two from the door.
We blinked when the nodded.
She slid down the door
The chime sounded and a cheer went out.
It was 6am
Yugi shakily got up and walked over to them.
"Is that..." a shaky breath "Is that... The iother/i one? The other killer?"
They nodded
"..."
"Is it possible to not attack me for the rest of my week here?" she asked and they seemed to talk before another night. Yugi nodded "Good because we, my friends and I, are going to take care of this."
She left and we turned off the camera's for now and waited for her to return.
"We got some work to do." I sighed
"We'll get started on the suit then." Dawn stated "I figured that the Animatronics only attacked if they saw a human. Probably adults since kids seem to be protected pretty well."
"I'll see if Rose will help with the schematics." Kez sighed
Rose, if you all remember, is the mansion we live in. She hates the hell outta us but realizes that we can do some good work so she lets us connect to places that would be in trouble or to see if we would kill ourselves off.
But even she wouldn't let something like this stand.
"Yeah, she might have something in mind." I sighed
~Night Two~
"Alright Kiddo, after much work and time distortion and various materials from Rose, we made this for you." Kez said holding up what looked like a limp, anthropomorphic form of Yugi's animal form but a lighter purple in the light as opposed to the light sucking pitch purple it usually was.
"Uh, how will this weird suit help me?" Yugi asked putting it on, grimacing at the limbs reached the floor. Putting on the hood (it acted as a zip up hooding) I noticed that her signature hat fazed through and ended up on the costume's head. Zipping it up we jumped when she gave an agonizing screech as the costume filled out. The screech became a familiar roar before it dropped to it's paws and knees panting. "Why the ihell/i am I in ipain/i?!"
"That was the endoskeleton morphing to you." Fuboo answered
"WHAT?!"
"The outfit itself is a special synthetic material that looks and acts as animal skin and fur, beneath that is a thin layer of something called 'living metal' that allows it to mold to living things and becoming a part of them. You're connected to the suit at a cellular level as any damage done while in it will hurt. Fortunately, you also register as a robot in scans so you should be fine. Well, as long as you don't exeed eight hours in the suit anyway. We made sure you'd have time to get out if anything keeps you but once it hits 8 am you need to be out of it. There's a timer that should show up in your eyes like a visor screen so you should be good. Here's the headset to talk with us." Kez said placing something onto Yugi's now large fox like ears. "This will let us hear you like usual and you need to remove the suit as soon as you get back to charge but iremember/i, the suit is only good for the extra two hours if something happens!"
"Why can't I just take it off between 12 and 6?" Yugi asked moving around on all fours before wobbly standing up.
"Because during those 6 hours in the suit, you iare/i the suit." Kez explained
"What?" Yugi blinked (I think, kinda hard to tell with the hat honestly)
"To trick animatronics you need to ibe/i animatronic. So the bots will think you're one but you'll be high end and expensive looking." she answered
"So, go in, work like normal, see if I can find golden Freddy again." Yugi huffed flopping to the floor "Damnit! Gonna have to work on that." she sighed wobbling back onto her feet "Alright, I'll head out and hope that this works." she dropped back into all fours. "And I'll practice on the way there." she sighed grabbing her bag and heading out. Her now single tail drooping behind her.
"Alright, now we switch the tv's to the pizza joint." Dawn said switching them over and I cut out the lights so we could see them better.
"Ah, there she is." Fuboo said as we see Yugi enter the place on wobbly paws.
She walked over to the animatronics, they looked surprised, and she revealed that she as the one from yesterday.
"Let's just say, I can help a little better now." she stated going to the office and we heard her digging through something in there as the phone guy left another message. He was mostly talking about how most people tend not to last to day two and that Yugi should make it before it went silent on his end while Yugi kept digging around. Then it went silent on her end.
Seems she found something.
"Okay, got a few cameras that need a bit of." she charged the cameras but yelped.
"What's wrong?" I asked as there were no cameras in the room
"Nothing, I'm about to head out now." she said quickly and we saw her quietly make her way to the room again. We blinked when a new screen appeared after a few minutes of shuffling around. "Can you guys see me?" she asked
"Yeah, but what's with the mask?" Dawn asked and I saw that she had a mask over her muzzle
"It's a bit overwhelming right now. I could smell the blood ibefore/i I entered this place. I'm just glad that my eyes are covered or else it'd be violently bright in here." she sighed but went quiet. She went under the table and cloaked.
We soon found out why.
A gold colored Freddy Bear walked into the room, looked around, and left.
The problem?
It vanished from camera immediately after, not even fully leaving the dining hall.
"Believe me now?" she whispered while removing the grate and placed a camera in the ventilation shaft. Removing the other grate she sneaked into the room and placed a camera where hopefully it wouldn't be spotted. Sneaking out she put the grate in place and did the same for the one in the room.
But she didn't enter the room.
She was still in the vent.
"What's?"
The door slammed opened
Golden Freddy was back
It quickly looked around again and we were glad that Yugi replaced the grate because it checked over it briefly before moving on.
Checking the other cameras I saw that all the animatronics were standing stock still on stage as Golden Freddy walked towards them.
The door Yugi was in opened but nothing was seen nor heard. It was closed just as silently though the animals were focused on the golden one.
i"Where is the Night Guard?"/i
Silence
It growled before pausing.
The sound of someone flicking through the cameras while giving a huff was coming from the security room.
It seemed to grin before going full sprint into the hall.
"It's coming for you!" we shouted and we saw Yugi raising her hand before making a downward motioned.
The doors slamming shut in Golden Freddy's face
"Night 2 Full Power Bitch! I saw you." she huffed as he banged on the door "What part of iFull power/i don't you understand?"
It stayed there the whole night, becoming more and more agitated when the doors didn't open and the power didn't fail.
The cheer and chime rang out
It was once again 6am
It pounded on the door with ferocity but gave up. We watched it glare before reaching the stage and waiting.
Yugi opened up the doors and walked through the entrance, flipping off Golden Freddy as she passed.
"Next time, don't make the doors work on an automatic weight system. Because it's easy to reverse the pull without using power." she deadpanned while leaving.
We watched the camera once more, Freddy looked to be seething with rage before going into the generator. No doubt to keep whatever Yugi did from happening again before we cut off the feed and prepared for the next night.
~Night 3~
Yugi had spent most of last night and this morning getting used to the suit at Rose's request. Telling us that Yugi might be sing the suit in the future. She tends to over or under reach most of the time but seemed to be able to walk like I do though, to be fair, being an anthropomorphic fox means I can wear shoes.
Yugi was back at the pizza place and she was testing the doors while ignoring the phone guy. Not like it mattered as he seemed to have been in the builsing the same time as you for awhile.
"If it wasn't for the fact that answering the phone might get me killed, I'd trace the call myself." Yugi huffed "I think I'd better stay in here." she said "I can hold the doors shut myself so I'm good there."
"You sure Kiddo? You might be able to sneak around some more." Kez asked
"And we still need some more data on what happened here." Fuboo pointed out
"I would love to, really I would, except Golden Freddy is off the stage and heading my way." she stated slamming the doors down and we saw Golden Freddy waiting at the door before laughing and leaving.
"I need you guys to check the camera's for me." Yugi said, her body sparking "Something tells me I'm screwed if I check myself."
Going through the screens we noticed that a poster had Golden Freddy on it.
"FUCK!" we heard Yugi shout and a loud discharge along with a metallic screech.
Going to Yugi we see Golden Freddy being electrocuted by Yugi before the doors slam open and she runs out. We watched her run into the dining room and cloak mid jump.
My training telling me she's in the rafters.
Golden Freddy came stomping out but found nothing.
A roar of rage echoing from it and it stalked towards the other animatronics threateningly.
It screeched as it was electrocuted once again, with imuch/i more power.
It became a heap on the floor.
"I take it back, this job rocks." Yugi laughed
It twitched but got shocked again.
"Yup, best job so far."
"Uh, kiddo? We found that there was a fifth child and it might have been in the Golden Freddy costume." Kez stated
"And I believe you." Yugi stated zapping the Golden Freddy again "But does that give this kid the right to be a massive dick about it? No, it doesn't. So, bad kid or bad man, they're getting zapped regardless because I don't abide by either.
Another zap
The 6am chime rang out while the animatronics blinked at Yugi when she jumped down and kicked Golden Freddy as she left.
"I'm gonna say this once, evil child or evil child killer, I'm gonna smash ya, I will hide your parts and no-one will find you ever again. Because others might think you're the child but there are more spare parts around than needed for you alone and machines don't lie." she growled "You're the child killer, I don't like child killers."
She walked out
When she came back she stretched and suit became limp fabric once more.
"Explain." I sighed
"That's gonna depend on what you two" she pointed at Kez and Dawn "found out."
"What about me?" Fuboo pouted
"I know who was watching my back with Stealth." she answered taking off the suit and folding it.
"Okay, five kids missing, likely stuffed into the suits." Kez read off
"Mini games suggest something putting the kids into the bots, a 'gift' of sorts." Dawn continued
"Granted by what looks to be a puppet." they said together.
"Ok, I do believe that the child was placed into the Golden Freddy. But honestly? I don't think they'd have one suit in case something happens. Old newspaper in the place talked about how they kept the old animatronics but scrapped the new shiny ones because there were problems." Yugi stated "I think they were iworse/i than the ones I'm dealing with."
"They were." Kez stated "Took some hacking from Fuboo and Dawn here found out that the adorable animatronics they had before... Ripped off peoples skins when they were caught. Apparently they were set as guards in a way themselves. Something about going hostile if someone messed with the main frame in any way."
"So, we we need to go back a little further." Yugi sighed "Good thing this job is almost up. I want to ax whoever's in the Freddy Suit because, even if I didn't know who was inside, children aren't afraid of other children like that. It's gotta be the guy that killed them, if it really is the kid then well..." she scratched her head "Look, I'll use my scythe tomorrow and set it to 'physical' so it'll slice the suit only." she promised "But for now, I'm getting some food and going to sleep."
She vanished into the door towards the kitchen
I looked at the others
"Think that the kid and the killer are in the same suit?" I asked "Because that's what I'm getting."
"Yeah," Kez sighed then grinned when Dawn held up Yugi's scythe "though I'm glad Kiddo doesn't know we've been upgrading it." she grinned
I did too, we had some adjustments to make.
~Night 4~
"Alright." Yugi sighed "What did you do to my scythe? It's heavier than it was last night." she asked giving us a distrusting look through her suit eyes.
"We just added an effect to help you with the splitting." I stated "It'll make it painful if the spirit is evil."
"So?"
"It's sharpened." we stated
"HELL YEAH!" Yugi grinned activating it with a grin. The shadows grew and her fanged grinned seemed to glow as she became darker. It quickly receded and went back to normal "Sweet, that still works. Alright, I'm off to the job." she said running into the building.
"I will never know why she likes that so much." I sighed
"I think she said something about how it makes a good entrance if you haven't seen it a million times." Kez sighed.
We watched the feed and saw Yugi enter the place then vanish.
Golden Freddy coming out that moment
"Where is the Night Guard!" it hissed
The glint of a familiar but mostly unused metallic weapon, the sound of it slicing through air, metal and ibone/i.
It slid in half from shoulder to hip, blood spraying then pooling as Yugi appeared.
"I'm right here. And you're trespassing." she growled then blinked "Oh shit, that wasn't supposed to slice through... Physical... Wait.. This thing's a ghost?!"
It shook violently, a purple figure began forming.
"Uh, no." It was sliced in half, screeching in agonizing pain before fading "Clear!"
We moved in.
Scouring the place we removed any hostile ectoplasmic signatures and called the place clear.
Standing near Yugi we watched her remove the suit.
"Alrighty then, Golden Freddy a.k.a purple man is gone. Any objections?" she said and the animatronics shook their heads "Any more attempts at my or other night guard's lives?" she growled and they ireally/i shook their heads. "Good, because if you think iI'm/i bad? Imagine what they" she pointed at us "can do because I'm warning you right now. I'm the iweakest/i in this group. Now, I have tonight and the next night to finish, have fun." she said walking to the security office.
We glared at the animatronics
"She trusts you." Dawn growled
"We idon't/i" I growled unsheathing my blade "remember that and we might not have to return and perform a ideep/i clean."
"Have a nice life." Kez hummed with her phone in hand "Also, this place is wired to exploded. If she flat lines, so do you." we smirked at them and left.
~Final Night (Night 7 iNOT EIGHT/i)~
~Yugi's POV~
I yawned and checked the wristwatch on my fur covered wrist.
It was 5:58 and my final shift was almost done.
I had decided to wear the suit one last time as it's been useful when dodging the animatronics in our tag/hide'n'seek matches. The others added some things like frequency adjustment and the like so they can hear what I hear from my ears, see what I see 'sometimes' and Rose (The Manor) gave me special cameras
Gathering my stuff I decided to take a final look around the place.
"Maybe I'll take a crack at another week?" I hummed then shook my head "Nah, don't think I'd care for that." I yawned and smiled when the chime went out.
It was 6am
"Goodbye for the last time." I smiled going for the door just to hear a crunching noise beneath my feet... Er.. Hind Paw? Screw it, feet.
Looking down I saw a newspaper, picking it up and reading it made my eyes widen.
iNight Guard Wanted!
Come Work at Freddy's Fazbear Pizzeria! The most amazing place in the world!
Work night shift for 5 nights./i
"It's dated 1987, but I don't think was here when I came in earlier." I hummed shifting my bag and stance "Though, I do wonder why those toy guys were decommissioned. I think Dawn said something about ripping people's skin off?" I hummed placing the paper in my bag and walking outside.
"WELCOME TO FREDDY'S FAZBEAR PIZZERIA!" cheered a happy woman in a weird Freddy uniform.
Looking behind me I was greeted with a parking lot.
I jerked back when the woman touched me.
"Oh I'm so sorry! Are you a new animatronic?" she asked worriedly "We're not supposed to touch them." she said looking sorry.
"Uh, no. No, this is a.. Costume, to get in the spirit of Freddy's ya know?" I said but shook my head "Nevermind, got a phone?" I asked and she pulled me inside. Chatting happily about how happy she was that someone appreciated the place.
"Though I wish you had some clothes or something." she admonished
"Look lady, you find me a phone and I'll wear any pants ya give me." I huffed folding my arms just to hear a 'Yar!' from the side. "Is that Foxy?" I asked bounding over to him with the other children. "Foxy works?!"
I grinned as he did his routine before heading to the stage.
I wasn't even iborn/i when these things were around so it was cool to see them inot/i wanting to murder my face.
The animatronics on stage were human, a bit of a shock there, but then again they ido/i get scrapped somewhere down the line so it makes sense that I wouldn't know what they looked like.
There was a guy wearing a blue suit with the recognizable red bow, his hair was blue with white edges and his skin tan with black shoes.
He was clearly 'New' Bonnie.
"Makes sense I guess." I huffed "While animals and anthropomorphic animals can be cute people tend to respond to other people better sometimes."
Checking the other bots I saw a tan skinned blond young woman wearing a bright yellow suit with a large white apron with the words 'Let's Eat' embroidered on it. She was wearing an orange sun cap, I guess as a means to show that she was the 'New' human Chika.
It was working
Next to her was a young man that was dark skinned wearing a brown suit and black tie with matching top hat.
He was clearly 'New' Freddy
Though he was singing at the moment I felt uneasy. One of them was watching me intently but it wasn't him.
"Excuse me?"
I turned to see the woman from before.
She had a pair of brown pants in one hand and a triumphant grin on her face.
"I found a phone for you to use." she said smugly and my ears drooped, much to the cooing (and giggling once they realized it was because of the pants) from the children,
"Alright, I'll put 'em on. Then I get to use the phone." I stated heading to the bathroom.
This place wasn't that different from the future Freddy's Pizzeria, meaning they must've knocked down or added some rooms at some point. Looking around the empty bathroom I noticed that there was a flyer about the 'New' Animatronics. Apparently they were updated with the latest facial technology and tied to information on all local criminal databases so they can defend the children.
Checking the date made me freeze
It was 1987
"Well... Shit..."
