Five Nights at Freddy's: Rethinking
Chapter 2: The Present
A/N: Ok, I have received a review telling me that this story isn't canon to the game. It's not. This is a sequel to another story called "Five Nights at Freddy's: Reopening" by Seinnnnnn. In that story, FNAF2 is a sequel, Foxy cause the Bite of '87 and the Pink Man is a younger version of the Purple Man or are they? Go read that story first to get caught up on this story. As for OC's name, she does not belong to me. I cannot change anything but use what has been given to me.
"Who's back?" Mangle stretched her body, hearing a few pops from locked servos. It was good to have her body back. Mangle walked out of Kid's Cove, seeing the area deserted. The sound of shattering glass caught Mangle's attention.
"There was a man in the previous locations." Mangle approached the broken window, shattered glass littered the floor. Suddenly, Mangle's head dipped down as the Purple Man shut her off. He began to disassemble Mangle.
"He always came to the restaurant." Mangle stood in the hallway in front of the office. The dog animatronic stumbled from the 'Parts and Service' room and landed next to Mangle. Mangle did not even acknowledge him as he dust himself.
"Hello there! I'm Bryce the Blue Beagle." Bryce adjusted his orange bow tie before extending his hand. Mangle just stared pass the blue dog. A ray of light came from the other side of the hallway, momentarily blinding the animatronics.
"He killed his own son." Mangle's eyes turned black and Bryce grew worried for the night guard. Before Bryce could do anything, Mangle ran down the corridor with her jaws wide open, ready to sink them into some poor guy's head.
"He used a yellow suit and lured five children to the back room to kill them." Somehow, Bryce managed to run ahead of Mangle and shielded the Security Guard. Bryce lay on the ground, a human neck was all that kept his head to his body.
"Wait… Golden Freddy?" Bryce doesn't know where he was or what was happening around him. His vision was blurring. A tall, thin figure stood above him. He kneeled down to him and reached for Bryce's face. He soon blacked out.
"Yes, that's why he started all of this." Bryce blinked and sat up. He was fully restored, no visual damage on his body. Bryce ran to the restrooms, turning to the mirror on the wall. Hesitantly, Bryce opened his mouth wide open.
"How is killing guard going to help?" Bryce walked out the toilets, relieved. Mike exited 'Prize Corner' and went to the Office. Bryce followed behind him closely, watching over Mike. They entered the Office as Toy Bonnie asked the question.
"He thought that closing down the pizzeria would save future Night Watchmen and children"
"But they kept reopening the restaurant." Terrence entered the Office. The toy animatronics jaw dropped to the floor, bewildered to see the dead Mike Schmidt walking into the room like nothing had happened.
"The frustration took its toll on him." Mike sat on his seat, listening while checking the cameras. The Fazbear Crew looked to the floor, some shaking their heads. Mike scowled at the thought of Golden Freddy being the hero.
"But what does the Puppet have to do with anything?" Swift shrugged.
"Not our story to tell." Terrence stood guard at the entrance, keeping an eye out for the intruder. Bryce stood warily beside Mike.
"Who said that?" The Toys looked around the room.
"Hello" Toy Chica looked down to see the animatronic boy.
"Fredbear, Spring Bonnie and Marionette will tell you." The crew just stared at him in confusion. Who is Spring Bonnie? Freddy crossed his arms.
"OK, no more secrets. No more hiding." Toy Bonnie turned to the clock. It read 5:50 AM. Toy Bonnie ran up to the front and stopped the group. He pointed out the time.
"It's too late now. We have to get ready to introduce the new additions and restaurant for the day."
Terrence spoke next, growling the words. Terrence's word was deep and menacing.
"There's a killer loose some in the restaurant and you want to open it to the public?" Toy Bonnie turned to the tiger. Toy Bonnie didn't really take a good look at Terrence earlier. Now that they were face to face, Toy Bonnie noticed how advanced the technology was used to create him.
The pupils of his eyes could expand and contract to his will, an indication to just how developed machines are nowadays. Who knows what else Terrence has under his belt? Toy Bonnie slowly backed away from the tiger.
"I'm just saying if we act out, he will get suspicious and we will lose our element of surprise." Toy Bonnie tried to reason and it seemed to work. Terrence's face squinted as he thought about Toy Bonnie's suggestion.
"Alright." Terrence's group and The Fazbear Crew walked to the Main area, unaware of the pair of eyes watching them from the shadows.
The rest of the day was normal. Toy Bonnie put his guitar down as Bryce and Swift did the same. They went down the stage and played with the children, sticking close to them in case the killer tried anything. Terrence led a group towards 'Pirate's Cove'.
A man entered the restaurant. He had blonde hair and wore jeans and buttoned up shirt. He made his way to the counter.
"Good morning, sir. How can I help you?"
"I saw an ad for a job."
"Fill in this application and come in before 10 PM. You'll get your uniform tonight." He did what he was told but was confused. 'Hey, it's a job. I'm not complaining' he thought. Terrence was walking by when he noticed the man.
"Hey there! What your name, Friend?" Terrence asked in a cheery voice.
"Um… Jeremy. I'm Jeremy Fitzgerald." Jeremy replied, uncomfortable and caught off guard. Terrence scanned his face, finding a match to his database. He smiled warmly and left the man alone. Soon, Jeremy was shaking hands with the manager.
"Welcome to the family." As Jeremy left, he did not see the wicked grin on the man's face.
