Chapter 1: Helping an Enemy
It seemed like an ordinary night in the calm little town for most folk, but at Freddy's Pizzeria. There was a new night guard, which was hired a few days after the one before her disappeared on his 5th night. She was sitting in the office that she was given and looking at the camera monitors with the iPad thing that Mr. Frazbear gave her. The metal doors on either side were down and she was smiling cleverly. She brought her own generator and tools so the doors could stay down for as long as she wanted. She flipped through the cameras and came to the one of Pirate's Cove.
"Let's see what Old Foxy is up too," She says as she turned on the camera. "What the?"
Foxy was standing near the wall and appeared to be trying to use it to support himself. Something was wrong with Foxy, which was pretty obvious in the way he was acting. He had his hook close to his chest as if that's what hurt. It was like he was having a heart attack, but that couldn't be possible because they are animatronics. He looked at the curtain and closed his eyes as he prepared for pain. He pushed away from the wall and took a shaky step toward the curtain. He stumbled after a couple steps and fell with a loud crash.
He reached for the curtain desperately. He looked hurt and he looked like he really needed to get out of there. Foxy looked up to the camera, which could easily be seen when it was on. He reached over slowly and grabbed a plank of wood that was nearby. Then, he began to slowly carve letters into the wood. The girl became interested and looked at the screen closer, trying to see what it was that the animatronic was writing. Foxy finished and weakly raised it up. He put the letter H-E-L-P. He was asking her for help. He drops the sign as his pain became too great for him and he curled up; holding his chest.
The girl looked away from the camera and towards the door. Foxy looks like he really needed help and he was actually asking for it. Foxy was one of the meanest she'd seen so far and it's her first night, but he was asking for someone to help him. She sighed and grabbed her toolbox. The girl new plenty about mechanics, so she could easily see what was wrong. She picked up the camera and looked at the monitor again to see if any of the other animatronics were outside the left door. No one was there so she sighed. She grabbed her flashlight and opened the door. She slowly poked her head out as she knows that this was against the rules.
She slowly made her way down the hallway; not using her flashlight yet. She didn't want the others to see her. The girl got to the end of the hallway and looked around the corner. The curtain that separated Pirate's Cove from the rest of the Pizzeria was right there, but she looked to the stage. She saw that Freddy was still there and Chica was heading back down her hallway. Bonnie had just entered the storage room, which was off limits for her. She waited for Chica to head down the hallway and then began to crawl towards the curtain. She heard Freddy activate and stopped. She looked and sees him walk off the stage. The girl quickly goes under a nearby table. Freddy walked past her hiding spot and looks down the hallway and sees the door open. He quickly goes down the hallway. She took this opportunity to slip through the curtain and into Pirate's Cove.
She turned on her flashlight and looked around. The light then flashed over the fox animatronic that was lying on the ground. She slowly approaches the animatronic, not knowing if this was a trap or not. The animatronic looks up at her with a surprised look.
"You actually came? I didn't think…you would even think of…helping me," Foxy said as his sentence was broken up with bursts of pain. She went over to him and bent down, placing her toolbox on the ground.
"What's wrong, Foxy?" She asked as she got him to lie on his back. He kept his hand on his chest.
"My…my chest it be hurting. I can feel shocks of pain and I can barely breathe," He answers as he clutches the fur in his hand slightly. It must really hurt then. The girl opened her tool box and grabbed her screwdriver.
"I am going to have to open up your chest to see what the problem, alright?" She asked as she positions the flashlight to where she could be able to see. Foxy looked at her hesitantly. "It's alright, I know a lot about mechanics and such." He sighed and moved his hand. The girl unscrewed the bolts that held his chest plate down and places it to the side. She sees something flashing a bit, but slowly getting dimmer. She takes a closer look and sees that it's Foxy's Power Cell. It allowed the rest of his mechanisms to run properly. Without this, he would be basically dead. His power cell is basically his heart.
"What is the…problem?" He asked as he jerked a bit as the pain became greater. The girl looked at him and looked back at the Power Cell.
"Your Power Cell is going out," She answered as she looked around. Foxy looked concern at this and looked down to his chest even though he couldn't see it.
"Oh no…where is Freddy? He knows what to do when stuff like this happens," Foxy asked as his eyes became more desperate with every passing second. The girl looked back to the curtain.
"I'll go see if he's out there and I'll lead him in here. Besides, you guys are out to kill me anyway," The girl said as she slowly approached the curtain. Foxy's felt a little sorry for her now thinking about what she had said. He shook it off knowing that it was basically his job. The girl looked out from the curtain and sees Freddy pacing back and forth. She walked out and began waving her hands in the air. "Hey, you over there! I'm over here!" Freddy looks and sees her.
"There you are you rule breaker. You know you're not supposed to leave your office!" Freddy said angrily as he walked over to the girl.
"I know you wanna kill me and all, but you got a bigger problem," The girl said as she pointed to the curtain behind her.
"What is something wrong with, Foxy, or are you just trying to distract me from ripping your head off?" Freddy asked as his anger clearly showed through his voice.
"Just follow me," She said as she walked back into Pirate's Cove. Freddy shook his head and followed reluctantly. She quickly goes back over to Foxy. "I got him, Foxy." Freddy looked and sees Foxy on the ground. His eyes widened and quickly moved over to the other side of Foxy.
"What happened?" Freddy asked quickly. She motioned her screwdriver over the cell.
"It's his Power Cell. It's starting to go out," The girl said as she looked up at the dangerous animatronic. "I know I am not supposed to be out here, but he signaled for help with that sign over there and I am too kind for my own good."
"I am going to go get one of the idle endoskeletons and bring it here," Freddy said as he stood up. "You will have to carefully remove it and replace it with Foxy's." Freddy quickly left the room; leaving her alone with Foxy. Foxy looked over at the girl with a curious look.
"What is your name?" Foxy asked as he stared at her. She looked at him surprised at his question.
"I'm Heather, why?" She asked as she looked at the injured fox. Foxy looked back at the ceiling and closed his eyes with a sigh.
"Well, then, thank-you for actually coming to help me, Heather," Foxy said with a bit of bitterness in his voice.
"That sounded more like go die in a hole then a thank-you, but that's just me," Heather said with a dull look and looked back at her tool box as she rummaged through it. Foxy looked at her for a second with an angered look, but went back to looking up at the ceiling as they both awaited Freddy's return.
"Why do you stay?" Foxy asked as he continued to look up at the black ceiling. Heather looked at him curious at the question.
"What do you mean stay? Do mean why do I stay working here?" Heather asked. Foxy looked at her a little annoyed now.
"What else would I mean? Of course, I mean stay," Foxy answered sternly. "After a few hours here, I thought you would've called Mr. Frazbear and said I quite." Heather sighs and turns to the helpless animatronic.
"I've stayed because this is the only job I can get," She answered. "It's the only job that hired me and I plan to keep it. So, no matter what you throw my way, I will stay despite the horror that you put me through." Foxy's eyes widened at the answer, but he stayed silent. You hear heavy footsteps come to the curtain, which causes you to turn to it. Freddy walked in carrying an idle endo-skeleton.
"These things always have a working Power Cell, but are only used if we get a new animatronic," Freddy said as he laid the endo-skeleton next to her. "It should have its Power Cell about in the same place as Foxy's." Heather quickly grabbed her screwdriver and wrench. She moved over to the endo-skeleton was working on getting the Power Cell just as Foxy began to freak out. Sparks began to fly from his chest and he screeched loudly.
"What's happening?" She asked as fear began to rise in here. Freddy quickly goes over to Foxy and holds him down.
"Get the Power Cell out of the endo-skeleton," Freddy said as he held him down. "He is beginning to malfunction, hurry." Heather, feeling the pressure, begins to hurry with the removal of the Power Cell. When she finally removed the cell, Heather crawled over to Foxy, who was jolting up and down uncontrollably.
"I need to shut him down for a second to make the switch," Heather said as she looked at Foxy. "I will turn you right back on." Foxy looked at her hesitantly but nodded quickly as pain became too much.
"I will keep him down, you do what you need to do," Freddy said. Heather nodded and quickly got to work. She flipped the switch to turn Foxy off and he stopped moving. Freddy let go of him. Heather got to work replacing the Power Cell. First, she removed the original, which was obviously drained. Then, she began hooking the original wires to the new one. When she was finished with that, then she gently placed the Power Cell in its appropriate place. Heather then screwed it in place and flipped Foxy's on switch. His eyes lit up and he moved his head from side to side.
"Did it work?" He asked as he looked at Freddy, who was smiling.
"Yes, Foxy, it did," Freddy answered as he gestured to Heather. Foxy looked at her curiously. You close up the panel and hold up the old Power Cell.
"I told you that I would turn you right back on," Heather said happily as she put her tools back in her tool box. Foxy sat up and put his hand on his chest. It wasn't hurting anymore.
"I guess I need to say thank-you," Foxy said as Freddy helped him up. She got up and picked up her tool box.
"Just do me a favor," Heather said as she walked up to the curtain. "Can ya'll start up the night again after, I get back to the office?" Freddy chuckled at her request and Foxy just looked at her.
"You've earned a little break tonight, you won't have to worry about us tonight," Freddy said. "I'll be sure to tell Bonnie and Chica, but tomorrow you better be ready." Heather nodded at the animatronic as he came up to her.
"I wouldn't have it any other way," She answered with a smirk. Freddy smiled at her and walked out.
"Thank-you, night guard," Foxy said as he looked off to the side. Heather looked at him.
"Don't worry about it, Foxy," Heather said happily. "Just lighten up once and a while, alright." Before he said anything, Heather left the pirate without another word. Foxy looked down at his chest again and placed his hand there again. He looked back at where she went and smiled slightly.
