Part I: New Animatronics

I'm a big fan of Five Nights at Freddy's so I'm making this new series because I want to. If you never heard of it or don't know the full lore than look it up on Wikipedia or look up Markiplier's play through of the three games. I don't know him personally but I like his videos and hope one day that he could read this story and maybe give me a small shout out if he likes it. If not then it's cool but I think he's funny. This'll probably be a little boring since nothing really will be going on in the first chapter but things will change.

Six years after the events of Five Nights at Freddy's 3 (I believe the order of the games timeline is 2.1.3), spirits of the dead children have been put to rest. One night, eight teens die at a party the night after the 1st night. Their souls possess the new animatronics of the newly established: "Freddy Fazbear's Wonderland Mall". During the day their programing takes over to make them super kid friendly while at night they watch over the place to keep unwanted people away. With no memories of their human lives, they must complete their jobs to stay alive. But wild shenanigans ensue when the animatronics take on the personality of the people who possess them at night. As well as protect the mall and people from a terrifying ninth animatronic.

Day 1

The owners of the brand new mall finally open their doors and welcome people in. Selling things like clothes, Fazbear merchandise, sporting goods, etc… But the most memorable thing is eight brand new rechargeable animatronics placed around the store. They are activated as the doors open to help serve customers by giving out information about shops, selling or advertising merchandise, helping elderly people inside the mall and also watching out for children. The mall was a little over two stories tall with two floors and a basement Storage Room. The first floor had twenty-four shops while the second had twenty-two. However the basement level had the Food Court, Arcade Center and a Kid Play Park. The mall was still in its beginning stages but it would eventually expand over time.

Night 1

10:00 p.m.

The last of the customers leave so the mall can close for the night. The owners take the animatronics away to a special room on the first floor to recharge their batteries. They also had to finish programming the animatronics "Night Mode" programs in special A.I. computers built into each animatronic.

With this cutting new technology the owners were proud to have their animatronics protect the mall without the need of a night watchmen. They're programmed with radios built in to contact the police if an unwanted intruder breaks in as well as a small red button hidden underneath a small removable panel in the right side of their heads which they can remove themselves to push this button which immediately sends a signal to the police station.

Their room was a special room where only them and the owners were allowed to go freely. It wasn't fancy but there were eight individual recharge stations for each of the animatronics. Each station was basically a grey panel with a rod with a two pronged plug at the end that was connected to a generator. Each rod would plug into the back of the animatronic's head which would charge their the battery hidden inside their chest.

Each one was designed to have a removable part for people to find silly parts around the stores to trade out for their already attached part. Each of them were fitted with a voice box and facial recognition software to detect predators similar to the Toy animatronics during the day. Each animatronic are programmed to have their own station during the day which served as their default area whenever they walk around and are recalled back to their station. But the most amazing thing about them was that they can operate themselves by sticking to a specific schedule programed into their A.I systems.

12:00 a.m.

Each of the animatronics were finished being reprogramed when one of the owners decided to activate one to start the "Night Shift". It was an orange male rabbit called Oswald the Rabbit. It was a little over three feet tall with orange fur covering its metal endoskeleton and a large patch of white fur on its chest and belly and face. Its hands were white with light pink pads to have the appearance of paws but with four digits and a thumb like a regular human. Its feet were the same but they were larger to symbolize the size of a rabbit's foot. It had a white cotton tail as well as a light blue detachable bowtie. Its face was similar to a rabbit with a white face and pink nose, whiskers and large folding ears. Its eyes were light green and it had fully functionally eyelids complete with long black eyelashes similar to the others. Like a rabbit it also had buck teeth.

He turned on and started to walk around when the owners noticed him leave the area and begin his night job by carefully looking around before walking around more. He would stop every eight feet and look around to make sure that there were no intruders. Each one was fitted with facial recognition to tell the difference between owners, employees and people who don't belong there.

1:00 a.m.

Oswald the Rabbit moved up to the second floor via the stairs as the owners watched on in amazement. They let him go for an hour to test him out but were satisfied enough to turn on the others. They worked hard on all of them but were glad to see Oswald working as they wanted him too. Their "Day Mode" prompted them to end their shifts and go to the recharge room at 6:00 a.m. and reactivate at 10:00 a.m. while their "Night Mode" prompted them to leave to recharge at 10:00 p.m. and reactivate at 12:00 a.m. Since they had to walk around more in the daytime meant they needed to be charged longer between 6 and 10.

The owners went inside the Recharge Room to find the other seven animatronics still offline waiting for their A.I. computers to be turned on. The first they turned on was a male green furred raccoon named Archie. It was the same height as Oswald but it was a raccoon with light green patches of fur on its belly and hands and a mask-like dark green patch of fur around its yellow eyes. Unlike Oswald's bowtie it donned a slightly dark purple detachable neck tie and light grey pants and brown boots. Also like a raccoon it had a green raccoon tail with dark green rings to complete the look.

After Archie turned on they moved over to the next; a female otter with light grey fur named Rosie. She was the same height like all the others but instead showed signs of female qualities mainly widened hips, trim waist along with a few curves and female eyelashes around her light blue eyes and a light grey nose. She donned light blue skinny jeans with noticeable and intentional holes in the knee area with pink sneakers. But the most interesting thing people often noticed was that it wore a light pink tube top over its chest. It had long white whiskers and a detachable pink bow on top of its head. This was made to draw in a more female crowd obviously.

Once Rosie left they turned to the next down the line; a male red furred and teal eyed monkey named Eddy the Pirate. In pirate fashion it donned dark bluish-grey pants and boots with a toy cutlass and plastic flintlock pistol strapped to the belt loop. It wore no shirt but instead had fake cloth "Find the Booty" and "A pirate's life for me" tattoos sewn onto its tan stomach. It didn't have an eye patch like Foxy but instead had a bluish-grey tricorn hat complete with red headband. But unlike the others it had a detachable aluminum hook for a left hand.

Eddy left with a typical: "Arrggg me matties" line which made the owners smile. They then moved to the fifth; a female dark purple furred bear and hazel eyes and a black nose named Sasha. Similar to Rosie it too had the same female features but sported forest camo combat boots and trousers with a white top and detachable badges on the top. The one she wore now said: "Supply drive for U.S. Soldiers". She sported a handgun on her hip but it was attached to the black plastic holster so it couldn't be removed. This one was built as a support for women in the military but to also show that they care about military. P.S. Please don't send me messages about negative views of women in the military or anything about military that's negative because I won't read them and most likely erase them. Thank you and enjoy the rest of the story.

Sasha saluted the owners and marched off as they went to the next: a male light blue furred and purple eyed koala named Morgan Mellow. Like Oswald it had no clothes except for a detachable black bowler hat. But unlike the others, Morgan's face has more of a mellow look to it, hence the name. Its teeth were flat and its nose was completely brown and polished to have a slight shine to it. (The animal features for all the animatronics are similar to their real life counterparts so I won't go into too much detail) It had big furry ears and small snout with only a few square teeth on the upper and lower jaw.

Morgan left when the owners moved over to the seventh animatronic, a silver furred and green eyed female cat named Cindy Kitty. It too had female features but with one key difference, its legs were built to be more cat-like than humanoid with bent limbs and paws with retractable nails. It wore a long light green skirt with a pink top. It had a bushy silver tail with a slightly grey tip. Unlike Sasha and Rosie, Cindy's facial features were more female with tinted purple eyelids, longer eyelashes and a slight purplish tint on the cheeks and a pink nose. Its hands were normal humanoid hands but only had three digits and a thumb with retractable claws and a detachable plastic white wristband on its right hand. It also had long with whiskers and cat-like pupils to give it more of a cat theme. Unlike the others its canines were longer and pointed like a cat.

Cindy left the room with a gentle purr when the owners turned their attentions towards the last animatronic; a dark brown furred wolf with yellow eyes named Bigby Wolfe (The Wolf Among Us reference). Somewhat similar to Oswald and Morgan it had no clothes on except for a detachable red plastic collar with small grey dots around the side around its neck and grey boots. On its chest, belly and around its canine-like mouth and black nose and eyes were patches of a slightly lighter shade of brown fur. Its mouth was longer than the rest of the animatronics, but instead of flat teeth like the others it had triangular shaped teeth with longer canines and a locking jaw that could be accessed remotely to prevent future bites.

The owners activated Bigby as his eyes opened and he started to walk towards them. They tried to get him to say something but quickly realized that his voice box hadn't been working all day. They didn't know what to do since they were getting used to them after learning how to program their Night and Day modes. They figured the best thing to do for it is to place it in the Arcade Center and hope that it works. They kept him away for most of the day but they couldn't let him stay in storage until this problem was fixed so they let him go and begin his night shift.

2:00 a.m.

The owners left the building while the eight animatronics walked around the area making sure that nothing was wrong. The place was mostly quiet with only a few mall security cops showing up to check on their progress. When they were certain that the animatronics could hold their own they left.

3:00 a.m.

The night continued on while the animatronics continued to search around the area.

4:00 a.m.

Two hours till six and already the animatronics were still patrolling the area. Another couple of mall security cops showed up to check out progress only to find that everything was fine. One of the cops checked out Bigby to find him doing his job as usual. They were worried about his broken voice box but they couldn't do anything about it. Once they were finished they left.

5:00 a.m.

Morning was close as the animatronics were still walking around. Their Recharge Mode was only an hour away from activation. Everything was quiet and peaceful as the night was almost drawn to a close. The animatronics were almost done with their shift when the doors opened and a janitor came in and found the animatronics looking at him for a second until proceeding with their job.

6:00 a.m.

As if on cue, their Recharge Mode activated as they all stopped what they were doing and walked back to the Recharge Room. Their Night Shift was over so now they have some time to recharge before the mall doors open for the day. They walked off into Recharge Room and connected themselves to their own recharging stations. Once they were hooked up and the process started they each shut down for the next four hours.

8:00 a.m.

The doors open as employees walk in to get their shops ready for the day. The owners are the last to come in and proceed immediately towards the Recharge Room to check on the animatronics. They were quickly impressed to see each one where it should be. They checked the video feed from hidden cameras stored in their eyes and found that they did everything that they were supposed to do. They mostly fast forwarded through it until they came to parts when mall security walked in and the janitor showed up unimpressed that he was late.

They turned off the video feeds and looked at their working marvels. They're the most advanced animatronics of their time and were already showing great results so far. They couldn't help but turn their attention towards Bigby wondering what to do about his broken voice box. They decided to call in to the company that built them and asked for someone to come in one night and replace his voice box. It would take a few days for someone to come in but someone would.

9:00 a.m.

A few employees went down to the basement Storage Room to find some props to place around the mall during the next few days. The area was big with crates of merchandise everywhere on shelves correctly sealed with labels saying which store it goes to. With an elevator connected to each floor for transporting goods, everything could easily get around.

They searched through box after box until they stumbled upon a lone dusty old crate with the label "Fazbear's Fright Memorabilia". Some people scrounged around the burned down horror attraction looking for anything salvageable. The owners were told that a few things were found but something very special was exhumed from the burned down site.

They opened the crate and found themselves in awe at the site of the things inside. Inside they found old heads from the older animatronics but as they dug in in deeper, they found a pair of white eyes. Its fur was dark brown almost to the point of being completely black from the fire. It was heavily damaged to the point of never working again.

They were forced to pull their heads away when a disturbing smell hit their nose from being sealed up for a while. When the smell went away, they pulled out the burned animatronic and looked it over carefully. Parts of the metal endoskeleton were melted over the joints and the wire jackets were completely gone and even the wires inside didn't survive. They tried to move the joints but most of them were locked up from melted metal cooling and fusing the individual parts together.

The legs could move but everything below its knees were fused together. Its left arm could move but its hand and fingers weren't functional anymore. Its right arm however was completely stiff with only a few functional fingers. Even the neck joints were fused together so it can't turn its head. Its jaws were fused together and even its ears weren't so lucky either. The inside was heavily damaged but not as much as they thought. They placed it to the side and looked through the box. While they weren't looking, its eyes gave off a feint white glow.
