Oh, and special thanks to an awesome friend of mine, Zerotekitsune, for helping me proofreading this chapter ^^
It was just another normal day at Freddy Fazbear's Pizza, kids running around, cheers and laughter filling the pizzeria, with the animatronics singing and entertaining the young ones with their own pizzeria was quick to restore its former glory back after the incident, the "new and improved" bots were guaranteed to keep the children safe with new AI chips installed in each of them, updated facial recognition system, and access to criminal databanks to make them super kid-friendly and to protect the children from any harm. Lots of efforts were done to return the pizzeria's reputation, from new shows and animatronics to renovations for new party rooms and a game area. Yet, it was worth it. The pizzeria was booming a lot quicker and became a hit amongst the children and teens alike. And everyone couldn't help but feel happier than ever.
Well, except for one, the mascot and the lead singer of the Fazgang themselves. Freddy Fazbear. Though, he tried to look cheery and happy to the others, everyone knew he was hiding something. Freddy - unlike the others - still felt something was missing, even though he got his old role back and the family were happier than they could ever be. He couldn't be fully happy when someone from his family missing...
However, amidst of the cheering crowd and running toddlers, the prize corner seemed to be the most silent place in the pizzeria next to the game area (where the teens usually play with their friends there), as always, the magical prize-giving puppet, Marionette (or Mari and Marion as he liked to be called) was doing his usual routine of handing out some plushies and merchandise to the kids. While the other rooms were filled with cheering kids, blaring music, singing, and performances. The prize corner was an entirely different story.
The kids who play here are usually older than 7 years old, and instead of running around and throwing food at each other, they were calmer than those toddlers and prefer playing dolls together or just simply getting to know each other by chatting over some pizza and snacks. Calm and mannered perhaps are the perfect words to describe these kids.
"Here you go sweetie," Mari said as he handed a Freddy plushie to a girl with curly blonde hair who wears pink overalls and white shirt underneath, "now go and play some, alright?"
The girl nodded, smiling cheerfully as she hugged the bear plushie, "Okay mister Marion!"
Mari smiled, waving a goodbye before slinking back into his box and shut it. Waiting for another kid that may need his assistance.
The girl turned around, heading outside the prize corner and skipped down the hallway to meet her mother in the dining area. With the Freddy plushie cradled safely on her arms. But just as she passed the party rooms, a hand suddenly gripped her overall and yanked her back, the force made her lose her balance and fell to her back, wincing slightly as her bottom made a small thud when it made contact with the hard floor underneath.
Three shadows loomed over her, the girl looked up to see three menacing teens standing before her, the once calm azure eyes quickly filled with fear and anxiety, wondering what these guys were going to do with her.
"Yo girl, got any money?" The brunette one asked, a smug smile plastered on his face. "We sorta...run out of cash to play some arcade games in the game area.."
The girl dusted herself, picking up the fallen Freddy plushie and got to her feet. "S-sorry, I-I don't have any m-money..."
"That's bullshit!" The redheaded one snapped, growling menacingly. "Tony, go search her pockets, she might have hidden some extra bucks there." He ordered, and the bulky black haired boy next to him nodded obediently, then crackling his knuckles some.
"P-please, I-I...don't have any money...I-I swear..." The girl whimpered, backing away from the teens and pressed her back against the wall fearfully.
"Last question girl: Do you. Have. Some cash?"
"N-no..."
The redheaded teen smirked, crossing his arms. "Tony, finish her."
The black haired teen, Tony, rolled his sleeve and raised his fist, preparing to send a painful punch to the innocent girl. The blonde girl closed her eyes and hugged the Freddy plushie tighter, bracing for the fist to make contact with her face. But instead, it never came. Concerned, she opened her eyes only to find the fist millimeters away from her face, nearly touching her nose.
Looking up, she grimaced at the sight of a withered animatronic bunny with no face and one arm holding the boy's arm to prevent him from hurting her, it's eerie glowing endoskeleton eyes send the creeps into her spine, and in fact, to the three boys too...
Tony struggled to free his arm from the animatronic with all his strength, but the bunny only stared at the black haired boy and shook its head disapprovingly, keeping its firm grip on the boy's arm without much effort. The three teens whimpered, the color drained from their faces, and it looked like every single hair from their body stand in fear.
"...R-run for your life!"The three boys screamed, then proceed to run away from the animatronic as fast as they could, like a coward should do. The girl breathed in relief, then turned to the animatronic, "T-thanks for the-..." but she was greeted by the sight of empty hallways, no sign of where the bunny went or whatsoever, "...help..."
She turned her head at the sound of metal groan next to her, the dusty gray door next to her were opened slightly ajar, which is odd because the room was supposed to be closed like it always does. Wait, maybe her helper just entered the room, maybe it's where the animatronic rabbit resides in. She could just go in there and say thank you to...it...but she didn't know what happened if the staff or other bots found out, she may get punished, too. After all, she did owe it one after it helped her to get rid of those teenagers that were harassing her.
Neglecting the risks, she walked toward the door and snuck inside, her footsteps echoed throughout the pitch dark room, and even through her shoes, she could feel the dust and smudges that coated the floor beneath her feet.
"H-hello? A-anyone there?" She tried to called, hoping for any sort of response, but after a few moments, only silence and nothing else. Maybe...that thing was just...a hallucination? Or...a guardian angel perhaps? Taking the form of a withered animatronic to protect her? Well...just maybe...After having enough of the silence, she turned on her heels to leave, but the sound of gears and circuits whirring to life stopped her in mid-track. Turning her head around, she saw a pair of glowing red orbs at the edge of the room, staring right into her soul.
"W-wha...wHat a-aRe y-YoU d...d-DoIng h...HerE LitTle g-GirL?" A deep, throaty and glitching female voice inquired, "D-diDn'T y...Y'kNow tHis r-RooM is...F-forBiDdeN?"
The girl whimpered, snuggling on her plush for comfort. "I-I'm sorry...miss, I-I was just...looking for the...bunny w-who saved me e-earlier..." She stuttered, fearing that whoever this person or thing was, may hurt her or worse.
"A-ah...t-T-tHat w-wOuLd b...b-bE Me..." A figure stepped out from the shadows, revealing itself as the dark blue-ish purple furred rabbit she saw earlier, its ruthlessly broken down appearance didn't send a chill to her spine anymore, oddly enough. "D...d-DiD I-I-I...s-ScaRe y-y...y-you...liTtLe one?"
"No...you didn't." The girl replied, smiling softly. "I...just wanted to say thank you...for saving me earlier."
Even without her upper jaw and face, one could see that the animatronic rabbit's eyes widened and she crooked a faint smile with her lower jaw, something that she hasn't done after years of dwelling in this place. "T-tHanK y...y-YoU...? I-iT w-wAsn'T...n..n-NecesSarY, I-I only h-hEarD s...sOmE r-RucKus oUtSidE a-a...aNd d...D-dEcIdEd t-to C-chEcK iT...o-OuT..."
"It was necessary, I mean...you saved me from those bullies." The girl stated, "My name's Wendy, what's yours?"
"M-my nAmE i-i...is BonNie t-t...tHe BunNy..."
"Why are you here? I mean...the other animatronics are outside and entertaining the children, but you're just here, all alone by yourself..."
Bonnie sighed, glancing down at her tattered and worn down suit, flexing the fingers of her good paw, "...i-iT's a l-lOnG...s...St-sToRy, a-ArE y-y-yOu...sUrE t-t...ThaT y...y-yoU w...wAnt t-tO...kNoW...?"
Wendy nodded, smiling softly. "I have plenty of time, you can tell me anything you want." The blonde girl dusted the floor and sat down, with the Freddy plush sitting down on her lap, "Go on."
Bonnie blinked her endoskeleton eyes a few times, it's been years since she encountered a child, let alone one that wasn't scared of her ruthlessly broken down appearance. Was she actually dreaming? "A-a...aLrIghT, I-I'lL t-tEll y...yOu e-EveRytHing, I-I...g-guEsS t-tHis ol' rUstBucKet c-CoULd d-do s...sOmE S-stOrY t-telling..." Bonnie bent her body down to sit on the floor, her battered servos and rusted joints emitting some metallic groans, and she plopped onto the floor with her bottom first, creating a small resounding thud and crossed her legs. "...w-wEll, i-iT all b-BeGan a...a f-fEw y-yEaRs...a-ago..."
Flashback: 23rd May, 1997...
The crowd of children cheered and applauded as Freddy Fazbear and his band; Bonnie the Bunny and Chica the Chicken finished their song, while the parents smiled as they watched their children from pizzeria was booming in business lately, with new animatronics introduced a few months ago: the Toys and the Goldens, and with the building having undergone major renovations to fit more rooms for the animatronics to perform, it really sucks the attention from the kids to come here and enjoy the shows these bots provided. With the safety as a primary priority and the animatronics, both old and new, fitted with facial recognition system and able to detect a predator a mile away, the parents could sit back and relax while watching their kids be entertained with kid-friendly animatronics.
"Hello there kids! Enjoy our show?" Freddy asked in his pre-recorded voice, waving to the crowd in the front of them. Which, cheered in response.
"I bet they are Freddy." Chica giggled, approaching the elder bear, "Now why don't we go and greet them?"
"Sure, that sounds like a good idea cheeks!" Bonnie exclaimed, strapping her famous red guitar to her back. "The kid's surely are going to be excited!"
"Well, what are we waiting for? Let's go!"
More cheering erupted as the Freddy and his band stepped off from the stage to greet the excited children. Because...who's not happy to be able to greet the Fazband themselves? Especially if they're your favorite characters in the entire world. Some of the kids pleaded for them to greet them, some struggling to hug their favorite animatronics, but the Fazgang only patted the rambunctious children's heads to calm them down.
"Bonnie! Bonnie!" A tiny voice squeaked admist of the sea of children, and a young brunette girl, not more than 4 years old, dragging a Bonnie plush on her hand and wearing light purple shirt, skirt, and a matching cap with two bunny ears. She pushed her way past a few children before coming out from the crowd close to the purple rabbit. "Bonnie!"
Bonnie turned her head to the source of the voice, looking down at the little girl that no taller than her legs, her bright maroon eyes stared at the tall animatronic in amazement. The female rabbit smiled softly at the girl, and kneeled down in the front of the kid, getting into an eye-to-eye level.
"Hey there lil' girl, what's your name?" Bonnie asked.
"I'm Tina!" The girl excitedly answered, promptly hugging the bunny afterwards. Resulting in some kids pouted and whined in disappointment or jealousy.
"Now don't get jealous though, y'all got the chance to hug your favorite characters." Bonnie stated. Just a few seconds after she said that, the rest of the kids rushed toward Freddy and Chica, hugging their legs.
While the others are occupied with the kids, Bonnie turned her head to face Tina, gently prying the young girl from her body. "Hey, why do you get so excited meeting me?" She asked, patting the brunette's hair some.
"I like purple color, and bunnies, because you're a purple bunny, I loved you!" Tina innocently replied, her maroon eyes sparkling with joy and happiness like Bonnie always saw in the eyes of the children she met every day. And it looked like she got a big fan of her own. "You're my favorite since I came here first."
"D'awww...that's so sweet. C'mere and give Bonnie a hug then."
"Yay!"
The excited girl hugged the purple rabbit once more, snuggling herself against the suit fabric of the animatronic. Bonnie couldn't help but chuckle, returning the embrace.
But out of the corner of her eye, she saw a man dressed in purple suit fiddling with some kind of device in his hands, and Bonnie could feel a slight tinge of pain inside her central processor, as if someone or something just entered her head and an invisible string connect to her endoskeleton. Creating a connection between her and someone else.
Her vision suddenly became distorted, flicking between normal vision and purple vision, her body began twitching, and she nearly lost the control of her limbs.
"W-what's happening to me?" Bonnie frantically thought, trying to move a limb, or a finger. But it seems like her servos and joints are locked without an obvious reason, "I-I can't move my limbs! S-somebody! ...H-he...help me!"
The purple rabbit tried to scream, but not a single word coming out from her voice box, not even her jaw was able to open normally. She was frozen in her current state, still hugging Tina as if she didn't want to let go of her embrace.
"Bite her." A voice suddenly commanded inside her head.
"W-what?..."
"You heard me, bite the child." The voice replied sternly, then chuckled mischievously. "Whether you want it or not, I'm gonna make you do it. I have full control of your body anyways..."
"Wait, what do you mean by-..."
However, before she could even finish her question, she suddenly bent her head down to the girl, and a blinding white light encased her vision shortly after
...
Screams...
Bonnie could hear screams, not the screams of utter joy and happiness, but the screams of terror and fright...
She heard people yelling and running in panic, but even worse were the angered voices the rose from some of the patrons and some of her own friends.
"BONNIE, WHAT...HAVE YOU GONE NUTS?!" Chica's voice was the first to be heard which was soon followed by Foxy's. The pirate vulpine yelling out in rage, "Let the wee matey go ye monster!"
Bonnie was beside herself, what was going on? Why was everyone so scared and angry? Finally after a few seconds, her processor was able to fully reboot, but what she saw in front of her would haunt her memory chip for years to come. The sweet lil girl that had pronounced herself as Bonnie's biggest fan lay in a heap on the floor, blood and bits of brain matter staining the tiled surface...but the most jarring was that more of it stained Bonnie's paws and fur, "W...wh...what?"
Chica stormed into Bonnie's view, a sneer crossing the normally cool headed chicken's face, "WHAT ARE YOU THINKING BONNIE?! She just pronounced herself as your biggest fan...and...and you nearly bite her head off?!"
Bonnie could only kneeled there, her breathing became rapid as she stared at her trembling bloodied paws, her joints and servos nearly freezing completely at the unnerving sight. While the others watched in shock and disbelief. The purple rabbit fell onto her back, scooting away from the body of the girl. Tina's limp body was twitching uncontrollably, her forehead looked like it has been crushed by an immense force to the point where she could lose her frontal lobe, a pool of blood formed underneath the poor girl's body, staining the tiled floor with the crimson liquid, and a blank look etched to her face, with her maroon eyes stared at Bonnie with a look that says; "why?"
"W-what have I...d-done?..." Bonnie frantically thought, "H-how...did t-this...happened?"
"Sister!" Blue's voice shrieked, turning her head to where the voice had originated, she saw the young azure bunny trembling in shock and fear, dropping his identical guitar in process. Tears already streaming down from his emerald eyes, soaking his blushed cheeks. "I-I...can't believe you did this! I...I thought you're a caring and loving sister I always knew! B-but why...why are you doing this?! Y-you're a monster!" With that, Blue stromed off to the hallway without saying another word, covering his face with his paws while sobbing continuosly.
Bonnie can only stared at her brokenhearted younger brother walking away from the scene, away from her, slowly disappearing from her sight. Even in the admist of chaos, she could hear her brother's sobbing from the distance quite clearly.
Meanwhile, the child's father came to his daughter's side, kneeling beside the girl's limp body and hugging the - seemingly dead - Tina, his maroon eyes that matched his daughter shot Bonnie a death glare, like he was a predator watching his prey, and she is that prey. "Y-you're a mindless, ruthless machine! Look what have you done to my daughter!" He yelled, his voice was stern and cold, "Y-you monster..."
"I-I'm...a monster?"
"Somebody shut that thing off!"
Bonnie immediately felt two pair of strong hands restrained her by her arms, she tried to resist, but proven useless as the two men restraining her forced her to her knees, then she felt the panel at the back of her head being opened.
"I'm sorry Bonnie, but this is for your own good." A gruff voice said, sounding rather concerned and...sad, unlike the others.
"F-father?" Bonnie squirms when she felt a hand fiddled with her wires, "Father, I swear...I-I didn't do it! A-a voice in my head, it...controlled me! Please, you have to convince them to not shut me down!"
Mr. Fazbear sighed, looking down mournfully, "I'm sorry Bonnie, but there's nothing I could do right now."
"Father! Please, no, I can ex-..."
Her sentence was cut short when the owner of the pizzeria shut Bonnie down, followed by a low hum that sounded like an electric device being powered down, the rabbit's body immediately went limp and offering no resistance anymore, then falling to the floor face first with metallic thump.
Mr. Fazbear breathef in relief, getting onto his feet and turned to the two men that assisted him. "Get her to the backstage area, and do not power her on until further notice from me."
End of flashback...
"...t-TheY tore me...a-aParT w-whEn t-tHe p...piZzeRia clOseD...a-and tHreW me...h-hEre, f-fOrgeTting...aNd lOatHed m-my eXistEnCe, a-and I've b...bEen h-HerE s...siNce tHen..." Bonnie finished her story, lowering her head and ears at the grim and dark memory she just revealed to the young blonde girl. "W-when tHe stAff c-cAme..h-hEre to t-TaKe my...p-parts, i-it was...aLreAdy t-too dAmagEd...fRom t-the bEatiNgs I-I've reCeiveD..."
Wendy gave the poor withered bunny a sad frown, she must have suffered a lot throughout these years, being accused for the thing she didn't do, beaten and torn apart by her own family, loathed, and forced to dwell in this place, all alone by herself. It's just too much for someone to handle, even for a sentient animatronic like her. Wendy just wanted to see Bonnie happy again like those days, but how?
Glancing down at the brown bear plush on her lap, the girl suddenly had an idea. It should be able to cheer the purple rabbit up, but she didn't think it'll suffices to make her happy once more. "Here, take this." She said, holding out the Freddy plushie to Bonnie. "I don't think it could make you happy again, but at least it could cheer you up for now."
"W-why...?" Bonnie made an invisible frown on her endoskeleton, her paw reached toward the plushie slowly, but retracted it back almost immediately in precaution, her processor drifted to the thoughts of the others asking where did she got the plush from, fearing that they're gonna tore her apart more than she already does.
"You've been through a lot, more than a normal people could handle, but you seemed like you're still strong facing all of this...stuff alone without someone else at your side, and I just wanted to cheer you up. Is that wrong?"
"N-no...i-iT's not..." Bonnie trailed off, her endoskeleton eyes gazing down at the brown bear plush on the girl's hands. "...b-but aRen'T you...g-gOnNa neeD iT?"
"Nah, it's fine. I could just lie to Mr. Marion that some bullies stole it from me and ask for another one." Wendy smirked innocently.
"B-buT...y-y'KnoW lYinG...i-is bAd, r-riGhT?"
"I know that, but it doesn't matter right now. All I care is making you happy again, besides, you probably need a friend to accompany you while I'm gone, right?"
Bonnie was absolutely stunned upon hearing this. This girl; the one she just told about her past, a fearless one yet. Already considering herself as a friend to her? Well, normally, people would've freaked out or terrified upon seeing her, let alone to cared about her and willingly hearing her stories out. But Wendy, she's...different, than the others. She can commiserate with her pretty well, understanding the pain and misery she suffered. And even with a simple act - the smallest one - it really does meant a lot to her, after all these rough years.
Now she could only hope that one day, one of the family member did the same as Wendy does. "T-tHanK yOu..." Bonnie gently took the Freddy plush without slightest hesitation, knowing that the girl really meant to cheer her up. Its soft aritificial fur brushed against her suitless metallic paw, the plushie itself was slightly bigger than her paw, but it was just precious nonetheless.
"No problem." Wendy felt another smile crept up upon her - already smiling - face, her heart felt like an exploding sunshine of happiness, as if she just did the most generous thing her age could've ever done. "Oh, and by the way. I gotta go now, my mom's probably looking for me."
The blonde girl dusted her overall off and jogged lightly toward the exit, but she was stopped when Bonnie's voice was heard. "O-oh...a-AnD W-WenDy?"
"Yeah?"
"D-did you...k-kNow tHat M-MarIon h-has aNothEr...n-niCknAme?"
Wendy's eyes beamed with interest, "Really?"
"Y-yes...I-I reMemBereD th-tHosE days w-wHen...I-I teAseD him b-by...cAllinG him...M-Mario..."
The girl giggled softly, "Alright then, Mr. Marion should be surprised if I call him that."
Later, Prize Corner...
Mari placed some new Toy Bonnie and Mangle's plushies on the shelf, lining them up tidily like an army batallion of furry dolls, like he always do every day, and nothing warm the puppet's synthetic heart than handing them to children and sees them happy with it.
"M-Mr. Marion...?" He heard a tiny sobbing voice from behind, a quite...familiar voice.
"Yes?"
The little girl he had just given the Freddy plushie came approaching him, weeping silently while tubbing her teary eyes with her hands, oddly enough, the bear plush wasn't anywhere in sight. "T-the bullies...they...they took Freddy away!" Wendy sobbed, bursting into crocodile tears. "C-can you help me, M-Mr. Marion?"
"Oh dear..." Uh-oh, Mari didn't like this, a sad child...not a good sign. For such a prize-giving puppet, Mari always kept a strict rule to not let down a child, let alone seeing one sad. And this will surely spoiled his clean record sheet of making-child-happy. He has to think of something, and fast. Narrowing his eyes toward the shelf, Mari scanned for any Freddy plushie left, but it seems like he just ran out of it. Bad news.
The slender puppet caught a glimpse of purple behind some Chica and Foxy plushies, and he immediately knew what it is, something he had never handed to children for quite a while.
A Bonnie plushie...
Mari reached his slim fingers to take the purple rabbit plush from the back of the shelf, dusting its fur off from some dust due to being kept for a long time without someone laying a finger on it. The girl didn't looked like a big fan of bunnies, but he just hoped that it could cheer her up for time being.
"I ran out of Freddy, but...hope this could cheer you up." Mari gently handed the rabbit's plush to the blonde girl, smiling assuringly.
Wendy's face returned to her usual all-cheery look, hugging the plush tightly to her chest comfortingly. "Thanks Mr. Mario."
Mari's eyes widened in shock and concern upon hearing the nickname she just called him with, sounding awfully familiar, like someone in the past ever called him with that stupid nickname he hated so much.
"Hiya Mario!" What cha' doin'?"
"Bonnie, how many times do I have to tell you to call me Mari or Marion? I hated that name."
"But it sounds fitting to you...can I just call you that? Please?"
"Now you're just being immature...for the hundredth time, I hated that nickname. Just please Bon, call me Mari or Marion, alright?"
"Fiiiiine, Mari-oooo..."
Normally, kids and the others would called him Mari, pronouncing Mario without the o, or just simply Mr. Marion. But Mario? That's just stupid as hell, even if one of the Fazgang or Toys hear someone called him that, they would be already laughing their ass off while rolling on the floor like a rolling pin used to flatten a dough.
Mari shook his head, snapping out from his muse. "U-uh...your welcome?"
Wendy let out a squeal of satisfication as she skipped out from the prize corner, leaving the dumbfounded puppet behind.
"No...how did she know that stupid nickname I hid for years?" Mari pondered, "Nah, you know the kids these days, maybe just a nickname they invented to tease me...yeah, just to tease me...I hope so."
