This is a Three Part Prequel to Broken:
In a review in Broken, someone asked what happened on the night that the animatronics had a change of heart, originally the chapter that contained material in this story was written in the early chapters of broken, I scrapped this because it was too long. that question/s will be answered here—
Part I-The accident
In the dead of the night, you'd except everyone to be asleep in their homes, with their family close beside them in case they had horrible nightmares and needed... Love..
Which was the last thing our Dear Michael Schmidt was gaining, the bad type of attention is what he got. At this hour of 2:35AM in the middle of the night, Mike was wide awake, up only by inches by drinking hot coffee hours before his grave shift began at Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria.
Not known for it's safety, The Pizzeria known as Freddy Fazbear's Pizza, was a old, smelly and in Mike's opinion:Shitty and Rundown. The Pizzeria use to be very popular back twenty years ago, when Mike was a young child himself. Freddy's was fun to visit for him and his childhood friends, Jeremy Fitzgeneral and Felix Sullivan.
Jeremy Fitzgeneral was short and funny to Mike, he had cute blonde hair and crystal blue eyes. Rather than Felix Sullivan who had Dark Silver eyes with Black hair.
Since those years had disappeared in a blink of an eye, Mike had never seen Jeremy, but Felix however he knew worked as a mechanic these days like his grandpa use to back in the 1950s.
Back to Freddy's anyway, It was a large pizza joint that smelted of mucus and decaying bodies, that's what brought the place down, but yet kids still came. During the days as Mike being young, Freddy's was a good place to visit, He could listen to the songs of the band and to The Pirate Foxy in Pirate's cove singing a song by himself. Mike knew if the kids knew what hell he had go thought between 12AM to 6AM. They wouldn't want to come here anymore.
The Job as Mike thought would be easy, his plan was:Get job, work, get payed, ask Girlfriend to get married, and gloat at the bitches who thought he was an idiot for taking such a job that mentioned that you could get injured or Die. Until his very first night... Mike had to go thought over two months of pure horror, but during that time... He picked up on the Animatronic's patterns and game play. Thus Mike dubbed himself as the master of this stupid game.
Every move that they tried, failed. Jamming the doors:Mike would just fuck off the tablet and get a baseball bat to whack an unwelcome Foxy or Freddy out of his office. And yes before you ask. Mike did keep a huge, wooden Baseball bat in the office for self defence... But if Mike had a gun, he would just skip to the stage and shoot them all until there was nothing left but a mangled exoskeleton.
Freddy sneaking up on mike:Mike used the base ball bat to piss him out of his office.
Foxy running out of his cove:Mike closed the door just as he was about to enter, either smacking him in the face, or trapping him under the door, which is where Mike would play cruel jokes on the fox by taping duct tape around his mouth so he couldn't bite his hand off when he tried to go near him, then he'd draw rude images on his face, and when Chica or Freddy came to the other door, they just laughed with Mike. But when Mike would write:"FREDDY FUCKBOY" on his face, Freddy was less than impressed.
Bonnie and Chica's tricks to keep Mike's mind away from checking on Freddy or Foxy, which would cause Freddy or Foxy to attack him, didn't work anymore, Mike was smart enough to know when they were fucking with his mind.
Even if The Animatronics managed to get him by surprise and drag him away from the office leaving him without the baseball bat, Mike knew a few things:
-Bonnie was stupid
-chica looked like a duck
-foxy ran fast
-Freddy was a hide and seek champion.
-they all wanted to kill him.
When he got them to break into an argument about who should kill him. Freddy would claim he's the leader and he should do it, then Bonnie would complain he never gets to kill, and that Freddy promised he could kill the next guard which was Mike (so he should kill Mike), then Chica said she wanted to kill Mike because he tormented her about her looking like a Duck, Then of Course Foxy jumped in and said he and Mike were best friends and Best friends do favours.
Mike would sneak away during the argument and get back into the office, when they realised he was gone, it was already 6AM and the end of his shift. Thus Mike could live another day... To see another sunrise... And his friends... And more importantly his girlfriend, Rebecca Jones.
Mike had known Rebecca since they were in college, they first met at a party when Rebecca was red faced after her boyfriend pulled up her skirt to show his friends her underwear, then when she started to get embarrassed in front of her own friend when she was violated more. Mike was the only one who stood up for her, even thought he woke up in hospital the next day in intensive care. Rebecca said he was sweet and started to hang around him then she moved with him into an apartment.
This made Freddy more angry and his desire to kill him got bigger and bigger, knowing Mike actually was brilliant at beating them...
On this night however, when Mike realised he had forgotten to kiss his girlfriend goodbye, which what he always did. He'd kiss her, tell her goodbye in case he was caught and went missing, knowing if he went missing from her eye it would mean he was stuffed into a suit and she'd never see him again, but letting her know that he'd always love his girlfriend dearly.
Was it worth the risk not to check Pirate's Cove/Fazfuck/And everywhere else just to wish his girl goodbye?
Lying the flat tablet on the desk, Mike looked at each door and window for unwelcome animatronic animals, then he reached to his bag and pulled out his phone, he opened it and dialled for his girlfriend.
"H-hello?" A shaky and tired sounding female voice asked
"Hi Sweetie."
"M-mike? It's 3 in the morning. Are you alright?!"
"Yes I'm fine Beth. I just forgot to say goodbye before I left." Mike told her, He heard his Girlfriend Beth laugh.
"Miikkkkkeeee I need to Sleeeeeppppp.. I have work tomorrow..." Rebecca moaned at him.
"Sorry." Mike spoke, "I just wanted to Say goodbye."
"Why do you do that Mike?"
While Mike kept on talking to his girlfriend, he wasn't aware of the huge mistake he had made not watching pirate's cove... The crimson red pirate fox peeked his head out from the purple and white star pattern curtains of his forgotten platform, realising that his friend in the office wasn't watching him.
Foxy was lonely in his cove, when Mike paid special attention to him, it made him feel unique in such a way, he kept on liking the fact the attention he was getting from mike is when he'd stare at the camera without blinking, sweating and looking around with thin and black-circled eyes.
But now Foxy was upset Mike hadn't dared looked at him since 1:30, while he looked at Chica,Bonnie and Freddy move, he had ignored/disregarded him completely, which broke Foxy's mechanical heart.
He whimpered like a puppy with his ears hanging down, his yellow eyes big and full of sadness... Then he felt the overcoming darkness over him.
If Mike wasn't going to watch him. It was only fair that Foxy saw HIM. So The pirate Fox jumped from his stage platform, his head twitching heavily to both sides, his legs got into action and he began to run towards the west hallway.
When Mike placed his phone down only did he hear the familiar and unmistakeable footsteps of an angry foxy, what he just did was a huge mistake...
Before Mike could skid over and slam his hand on the button to close the door, Foxy already got into the office, making Mike scream, but the first thing Foxy did was cover his mouth, chocking down his screams of fear.
His metal hand was cold against his mouth, never the less, Mike was still screaming and struggling against the Pirate Fox.
"Hello Mike? Mike what's happened?" Rebecca asked on the phone shortly before Foxy accidentally stood on it, crushing the phone.
"Shhh Keep Quiet Lad. Ye don't want to alarm Fazzy." Foxy told him, but still even with those words, Mike knew that this was a machine that would kill him, so he fought back... Which was a bad move... Forgetting he had a hook instead of a right hand, the tip of his hook which was holding back his hand from running away, finally cut into his skin.
Mike let out a loud muffled scream, When Foxy notice his hook was causing discomfort for his friend, he knew soon enough Freddy and the rest would notice Foxy was trying to spend personal time with Mike and ruin it by taking him away.
"Now Lad. Thar was ye own fault." Foxy told him straight up, Mike yelped as Foxy pulled away his hook, leaving Blood to drip down onto his uniform, "Lad Maybe if ye learnt our rules, ye would not be 'ere in the first place."
Mike growled and bit his teeth on Foxy's red fur, Foxy scowled, "Bite me again and ye'll be sorry." He was scolding him like some type of child, "I'm serious."
"Make me." Mike Growled, Foxy growled too, showing his sharp teeth, knowing Foxy could cause Harm with those type of teeth, so Mike was purposely playing with him.
"Foxy what do you think you're doing?" Foxy jumped at the cold voice of Freddy Fazbear, he stood at the right door, seeing the mattered Animatronic fox with the night guard, was sending bad messages to him.
"Captain ye know what I be doing at this moment!" Foxy snarled lowly cradling Mike's head to his chest, making him more pissed off, "I be tryin' to be friends with Mikey!"
"Get Off me or I swear I will hurt you." Mike threaten, knowing he couldn't get away unless he got Freddy and Foxy into a fight.
"With what?" Freddy asked Mike, completely frightening him as he was not excepting a respond from him, Freddy loomed over Mike with his height, his shadow towering over the 26 year old man. Freddy touched the place where Foxy's hook had punched a hole in his arm, he stroked it smirking, "You've been playing Rough Foxy. You know that right?"
"T'was his own fault!" Foxy complained, Freddy ignored his respond and grabbed Mike's right arm, tugging on it a little. Mike sweated in fear, finally, Freddy used his two strong hands to bend Mike's arm down, breaking his bone.
Upon realising this, Mike had chocked down a scream, turning his face blue, he forced his leg upwards and kicked Freddy between his legs. Freddy appeared shocked and grabbed himself, "WHY DID THAT HURT?!"
Freddy moaned a little while Both Bonnie and Chica peeked in wondering at the noises that had alarmed them from their hiding spots in the kitchen and the supply closet, the two looked in thought their doors.
"What's going on?" Bonnie asked, seeing the whole problem again, he presumed Foxy had Kicked Freddy rather than Mike, meanwhile he saw Mike whining slightly in pain over his broken Arm.
"Oh you two are mean!" Chica whined, Foxy turned to her with a scowl on his snout, "I didn't do thar to Fazzy. T'was Mike."
"Oh Yay! You got Mike!" Bonnie clapped but Foxy dragged Mike away from him, making him confused, Foxy's yellow eyes turned black with a sharp white pupil, growling at the purple bunny.
"He's Mine Bonnie. Ye can't touch Mikey." His hook waved at him threatening him, Bonnie's ears went down in shame as he said, "But Freddy Said I could kill the next guard... And Mike's the next one. Y-you don't even like the night guard foxy!"
"Thar because Mikey is me lad not yours Bonnie." He poked his hook at his stomach, Bonnie pushed his hook away getting annoyed.
"Doesn't the 26 year old man who has a girlfriend at home get to leave now?!" Mike scowled at them trying to get out of the headlock Foxy placed him in, rather than getting an answer, Foxy tighten his grip around him, telling Bonnie he did NOT want him near Mike whatsoever.
"You're all mean!" Chica whimpered, all of the male animatronics stared at her outburst, "We've been together for over 20 years and you're all fighting! And we only started this to find the killer!"
"What fucking Killer?" Mike asked getting a chocking grip from Foxy in respond to that question, "GET OFF ME!"
"We won't bring him into this problem." Freddy said thought his gritted teeth, "The Thing is that we have Mike and we can do what is right."
"Wait... No. NO! You bastards! No!" Mike chocked himself trying to escape from Foxy. Realising that they would kill him tonight by shoving him into a suit, making his death a gruesome one.
"Mikey T'will be alright." Foxy told him, despite those words, Mike was desperate to escape, he wanted to get back to his girlfriend, and his life outside of this shitty job. He knew he could have gotten more money working at a café washing dishes, but he thought this would be too terribly easy to get money for a ring. Especially since he had constructed a plan with Felix Sullivan.
Since Felix lived in a huge part of the city where most popular jewellery stores where, Mike told him to get a certain ring and he give him his money to pay for it, so Rebecca would feels special knowing Mike truly loved her.
Even there, Mike started to let tears fall down from his face, never seeing the man cry, the Animatronics half freaked out.
"Foxy you broke him!" Chica whined.
"I didn't do anything. Tell em Mikey. I didn't hurt ye."
"Get off me." He let out a chocked sob, Foxy embraced him in a hug but that was short lived when he hit the area where Mike's arm was broken, and naturally, like anyone who had just broken their arm and had it hit hard, He screamed directly into Foxy's ears.
Mike's scream was so loud that it scrabbled up the Animatronic's directions thus Foxy let go of Mike being terribly confused. Mike got up gripping his arm, he crawled under between Bonnie who was standing at the left door, he stumbled down the hall towards the flickering lights in the dining hall, if he could reach a hospital before Dawn, he would be safe, but if the animatronics got him. It would end horribly.
But while Mike was stumbling down the hall, he heard a loud snap and looked up, only to see an overhead light smash him clean in his head, causing for the man to fall on the floor, covered in snatches,bruises and glass, Mike panted heavily watching the cuts in his head bleed onto his face and on the black and white checkered floor.
"S-shit..." He cursed, he heard footsteps and saw Foxy standing over him, "H...h. Help me..." He begged
"Mike?" He asked just as he lost consciousness.
Stay tuned for Part II! It should be out after the meantime, I've got another things to do... If you are not aware of the fact, I will be very busy on the 24th of december to the 26th.
