Author's Notes: This is a alternate version of my FNAF universe from my Tails the Machine story. In other words, this is what happens if TD didn't help stop evil Golden Freddy. This story also goes more in-depth on my theory. If you go with prior knowledge of the Five Nights at Freddy's universe only, this story is not for you. Expect blood, gore and some language.

Chapter 1: Prologue

Fazbear's Pizzeria; Day Shift...

A man with purple skin, black hair, and green eyes wearing a purple guard uniform is seen holding a golden bear head with a blue hat on its head with a puzzled look on his face.

"Why do I have to wear Golden Freddy's suit?" said the man in confusion to his boss as he held the head, the suit nearby.

"Because, we're working on his endoskeleton and we need someone to wear the suit while he's under maintenance. You're the only one tall enough here to wear his suit Tim." said Tim's boss in a slightly annoyed tone.

"Seriously? I have to wear it because I'm the only one tall enough to wear his suit?"

"Would you stop calling it a "him"? It's a stupid machine."

"Yeah, well, he seems a bit too human to me."

"Just put the suit on and do his job."

"Fine."

Tim puts the suit on and then the mask.

"Wow...this suit is really stiff." said Tim as he stiffly moved his arms.

"What did you expect? The thing's suit to be mobile?"

"Not really but I didn't expect it to be this stiff."

"Just get your job done."

"Alright, alright. Jeez. Thought this place was supposed to be a fun place for kids."

Tim slowly makes his way towards Golden Freddy's stage and once there...he realizes its two hours before opening and he removes the head and grumbles under his breath before removing the suit and setting it down on stage before sitting down in a nearby chair. He jumps when a nearby phone begins ringing and he gets up and answers it.

"H-hello?" said Tim as he had never heard of someone calling the place at six in the morning before.

"Hello. Enjoying the job?" came a voice that sounded familiar but also didn't at the same time.

"Y-yeah, I guess. If you exclude how mean the higher-ups can be. I'm the only one who, supposedly, can wear Golden Freddy's suit but I'm not that great of an actor."

"Oh, I'm sure you'll do fine."

"Why are you so cheery?"

"I'm always cheery. It's my job. Good luck with my suit Tim."

Tim is about to ask what the guy on the phone meant but a click is heard followed by dial tone and Tim hangs up and walks back over to Golden Freddy's suit, unaware that the phone he had answered...wasn't plugged in.

As Tim looks at the empty suit, he then looks at the three animatronics on the stage and sighs.

"Why is it that Goldy breaks down the most?" muttered Tim to himself before he got up and decided to check out the storage room.

After finding the storage Room, Tim pulls out his key ring and looks for the key to the door before finding it and unlocking the door and walking into the room. What most of the new staff didn't know, was that there were two storage rooms; one for parts for those on stage, Golden Freddy, and for the one in Pirate Cove. The second storage room was for what most believed was storing spare suits and stuff for the animatronics but in reality, it was for storing the Toy Animatronics that had supposedly gone haywire after someone messed with their systems.

Tim looked around the room before he stood over a large blue box with its lid closed and a small music box is on top of it.

"I remember this one. Freaky fellow but...he seemed like he knew a lot...which is really strange when you think about it..." muttered Tim as he picked up the music box and looked it over, "Wonder if the music box still works..."

Tim began winding the music box and three black claws lift the lid off the blue box slightly but Tim doesn't notice it and keeps winding the music box.

[FNAF 2- Music Box Theme]

"Yep. It still works." muttered Tim as he set the music box back down onto the blue box, missing the black claws by an inch with his hand and he began digging through the rest of the stuff in the room.

After digging through some stuff, he found a white fox and picked it up and began looking it over before a single eye opened on it and he jumped back, dropping the head and it hits the floor and seems to grunt in pain before it looks at him and opens its mouth, only for indistinguishable garbled static to be heard. Tim looks at it in shock before he slowly approaches it and it looks at him before a white hand pushes it off the ground and it seems to sit up and look at him more closely.

"I remember you. You were Mangle right?" said Tim as he looked at the white fox and Mangle tilts her (1) head as she looks at him and he sighs, "I bet you've been in here too long to remember me huh?"

Mangle shakes her head and holds up a small clay figurine of herself.

"Seriously? How did they let you keep it?"

Mangle shrugs before she looks behind Tim as the music box begins to wind down and she motions with one of her hands about the music box and Tim turns around and looks it over before he winds it back up again.

"So...what happened? Why were you and the other Toys supposedly scrapped?" said Tim as he turns back to Mangle only for her to be on the ceiling now and he gets slightly nervous as he had heard that she had bitten out someone's frontal lobe in the middle of the day a couple years back.

"Victim...wanted...prison..." were the only words Tim could understand through the static as Mangle lowered her head to being eye-level with him.

"I think I better get back to doing my job." said Tim as he turned to leave and as he passed the music box, a black claw grabbed him by the arm forcing him to stop and he gulped nervously as the blue box slowly opened and the animatronic inside slowly stood up and Tim was lifted off the ground by the thing's height. It was so tall, that it nearly reached the ceiling just by standing up and it lifted him up with ease and looked him over before setting him back down and slowly going back into the box, its white face sticking out of the box a bit longer before the box closed.

"O-kay...that was freaky..." muttered Tim backing out of the room slowly before he nearly jumped out of his skin when he ran into a small animatronic with tan skin, a red triangular nose, blue eyes, wearing a red and blue shirt, a red and blue beanie and holding a sign that read balloons.

"Hi..." said the animatronic and Tim quickly ran out of the room unaware of Mangle waving goodbye to him as he locked the door behind him and sat against the door.

"A hundred and seventy bucks a week (2)...I'd be better off working in a tanker factory." muttered Tim as he got up and walked towards the stage again, his heart pounding in his chest.

Looking at the time, he saw that it was nearly time to open and he sighed before he put Golden Freddy's suit back on and got into the spot Golden Freddy usually is on his stage and waited for the day to begin, his mind still stuck on the Marionette grabbing him like it did.
