~Yugi's POV~

I was currently floating part way off my chair with about 30 balloons tied to me.

"You can't be using normal helium." I blinked

"Industrial grade!" Balloon Boy grinned

"Awesome!" I said bobbing a bit "I wonder how many it would take to float at Mangle's level?" I wondered

The balloons popped

"FUCK!" I hit the ground with a pained filled groan

"Mangle!" the Balloon boy admonished while said fox laughed above me.

"I hope you realize, this means war!" I shouted "I am gonna need a LOT of Balloons for this though."

The chime and cheer rang out.

It was 6am

"Wow, I didn't realize that cheer was that old." I blinked "But whatever! I'm going to bed but I am definitely buying more balloons." I yawned and stretched tiredly "I'll see you guys later." Climbing through the vent and to my room.

~Later~

I heard a phone ringing and I put on my suit and answered it

"Hello?" I yawned

"Yugi!"

"Dawn?"

"Yeah! Why do you sound tired?" she asked

"Had an exhausting shift. But it was kinda fun, kicked some stuff, got to float on balloon power, got stared at, and met 'New' Chica." I stated

"Alright, um. Can you do something for us?" she asked

"Sure" I yawned "what is it?"

"If... If anyone asks about you being animatronic, answer truthfully. But ONLY if they persist alright?" Dawn asked and I blinked but chalked it off to my lack of sleep.

It had only been half an hour honestly.

"Uh... Sure... Whatever, find anything on the manor yet?"

"It's only been a day and a few hours Yugi." Dawn deadpanned "Give us some time."

"Alright, alright." I sighed "But since you guys are still doing your thing I'll just go to sleep. Night... Er... Day."

"Night Yugi." Dawn laughed and I waited for her to hang up.

I was glad I did

I heard something that made my eyes wide before hanging up myself and quickly going into my room.

I shut and locked the door, removed the suit and, after making sure it was put away properly, went to sleep.

It was iway/i too early for what I heard.

~Dawn's POV~

"Why did you tell her that?" Stealth asked me and I looked at the 'Toy Crew' singing on the Freddy Stage.

There were five animatronics there.

The dark skinned Freddy with his mic, the yellow Chica with her guitar, Mangle was up there too. But she was the only one that looked partially solemn.

She was looking at the same thing we were.

Next to the blue ibastard/i Bonnie, hand in hand with a familiar dark skinned female with beige clothes and icon bucket hat, was Yugi.

Singing along with Freddy, Chica and Bonnie.

"See Yugi?" the bastard stated "Didn't I tell you? It came true, we're best friends."

"Forever and ever!" Yugi giggled.

We were waiting for her to snap out of it, for her to go 'What the ifuck/i am I doing?' and leave them to eat pizza. To tell that blue bonnet bastard to go to hell for what he did to her.

But no, if asked, she would drop what she was doing and join them on stage.

"That's why." I sighed looking at them all "Mangle said, when I was able to decipher her anyway, said that she wished that she knew before hand. She owed Yugi for the repair but Yugi never said anything, even when the removal and replacement of her body happened." Kez sniffled behind me along with Angel and the others. "Yugi didn't want Mangle to get in trouble. Maybe saying something will keep ithis/i" I motioned to the stage "from happening."

Yugi was Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria's 'Newest' Animatronic. Killed by someone unknown and put back together per protocol by the bots as she was mistaken for broken.

She still recognizes us, still talks to us, but has that sickeningly happy tinge to it.

And Bonnie...

We ihated/i Bonnie, and he hated us too. He made it clear with every smug look he sent our way, how he'll call Yugi up when he sees us enter to visit. Knowing that we'd rather have the old one back and rubbing it in our faces that Yugi was a part of his group now. That she was ihis/i, and that would /inever/i change.

Never thought we'd see the day we'd prefer sometimes crass over this happy thing on stage.

I heard the tone from my phone but thought nothing of it. We're usually here looking at this, hoping it was some sort of awful dream, even Rose was sad. Though it was mostly due to the fact that all her new guards can't handle the strain she naturally puts on them and they die within days (if unlucky) or hours (REALLY LUCKY).

We left the place as it closed, Bonnie's words echoing behind us as he talked to Yugi.

"See Yugi? We made sure you'd survive after that night."

"Why?" she asked

"Because you didn't break the rules, and you played nice, you were our best friend and we wanted it to stay that way. So now we are all together."

iForever/i

"..."

"You know that the fact you spoke with her means this isn't going to be here next time right?" Kez deadpanned

"Oh yeah, big time." I grinned "And I plan to rub it in his face too, but not yet. I want him to think he has a victory so I can savor his defeat." I cackled

People in the parking lot: O.O

~Yugi's POV~

I thought about what I had found out as I put on the suit.

That was ime/i singing in the background on stage, I was iclearly/i close to isomeone/i up there and I was so isickeningly happy/i that it made my skin crawl.

'Is that my future?' I wondered 'To be like... Like /ithem/i?'

I watched them singing on the stage, how happy they looked.

"Fuck ithat/i, I'm getting pizza." I grumbled going to the pizza bar to get a slice since the kitchen was closing and had a bunch of left over pizza. It would take a bit to get the smell off my fur but enhance senses meant enhanced pizza AWESOMNESS and I wasn't passing that up.

Yeah, I'm not going to sweat what I heard for one reason and one reason only.

I wasn't forced back to the present meaning what they're seeing wasn't in the cards.

Well, that and because the last time they tried to force me into a future I didn't want I ripped several holes in the timeline that only we could fix.

'Ha! Suck on ithat/i father time!' I thought with a grin as I downed another pizza in the security office.

I yawned as another night came and went, several weeks pass and I was getting the feel of the place. I chatted with Mangle, I slept soundly during the day as I was used to the people walking around and making a noise. I even took some time to hang out with the kids on weekends since a different guard usually took that shift, especially once they realized I was still ialive/i.

During that time everyone back at home were close to finding the door or, in Kez, Fuboo and Stealth's case, close to imaking/i a door to when I was.

I was given instructions for upgrades to my suit and I did so in my room. The cameras that Rose gave me were able to link to the manor so everyone could keep watch if they wanted. My ears could now pick up higher frequency so they can get better readings from their end.

Though I was kinda pissed when I found out that they were messing with my hat. Turns out, the ribbon they gave me could act as a scanner of sorts. I ireally/i wish they asked first but I'll admit that they knew me well, the moment they mentioned that it was scanner I was on board. The scanner couldn't /isee/i anything unless it was flat. Like the screen or paper or the like, making it overall useless.

It was also how I knew that the music box had stopped playing. The music was no-longer reaching my ears, and my scanner noted the alarm on my tablet.

Did I icare/i though?

No, the answer was no.

Looking at Mangle I was glad that her repairs were going along well. She was looking like a pink and white version of Foxy at this point while still maintaining the ability to slink around everywhere. Thanks to Fuboo's tutelage, I managed to make it so she could disjoint herself so she'd look 'broken' during the day and pull herself together at night.

Apparently, all plans to contact me have been pushed up by several days because of that so I should be expecting a greeting soon.

I was sitting in the security office, talking with Balloon Boy and Mangle when I saw that the alarm was going off.

"Oh no." whimpered Mangle

"What?" I asked lazily checking the tablet, the music box wasn't wound and the box was open.

"Nope, still not scared." stated after staring at it

"That's the alarm from Marionette!" Balloon Boy hissed "It's on it's way here! It'll ikill/i you!"

I stared then sighed

"I'm sorry but I can't be properly horrified by this. I just don't see how puppet boy is going to do much against me." I deadpanned

"He will kill you!" Mangle said worriedly

"I ieat/i dark beings Mangle." I reminded "Marionettes count because they're creepy as fuck, just below porcelain dolls."

They stilled

A face lunged at me and I punched in it's ifucking face/i, sending it flying out the vent and I landed on top of it. Roaring in it's face I snarled down at it.

"Didn't you ihear/i me state that Marionettes count as dark beings, and thus, I can ieat you/i?!" I snarled

It shook violently under my foot

"Let's get one thing straight." I growled "As long as I'm here, you and ievery animatronic/i on my /ishit list/i will be treated with instant hostility. Same warning as the rest, you enter MY SECURITY OFFICE WITH HOSTILE INTENT YOU WILL BE MET WITH EQUAL FORCE! But for you? You get an iextra special warning./i" I hissed and was face to face with it "You attempt that shit again and I will ibDEVOUR YOU WHOLE AND INCINERATE YOUR REMAINS AS THEY ARE CONSUMED!/b/i Am I clear?"

There was a distinct smell of urine in the air

"Good, now then. I'm going to look for a permanent means of listening to your music box. But I don't have to worry about you again... Right?" I growled and it shook it's head "Wonderful!" I chirped helping it up and pushing it towards the prize corner "Now you get some rest, you have a trying day in the morning."

I went back into my office to bot Balloon Boy and Mangle staring at me wide-eyed.

"It's official, you scare everyone just as much as the Boss does." he stated

"I'm awesome." I shrugged "And frankly, it heard me, thought I was lying, and I proved it wrong when I punched it. Marionette is a specter, technically you can't touch 'em, but I can." I grinned and downed another slice of pizza "Man, the pizza here is awesome!" I sighed munching on my slice.

~?~

The preparations were complete.

I didn't know iwhat/i the new guy was but, just in case they had organic material in and or on them, we had a way to fix that.

A long table to accommodate their sizes and straps to hold them down. A sedative makes them quiet but we don't like using it much. Harder analyze what needs to be replaced when they all read as junkies in our files as a result.

We've fixed it somewhat but...

I shook my head

No doubts now!

Not when our new friend is almost within reach!

I smiled as Balloon Boy and Mangle chatted with the new guard. Apparently noticeable if spoken to, according to Chica anyway, and said that it icould/i be because our eyes are out of date.

'I'm sure our new friend might be able to help.' I thought putting on the outfit that I used when greeting others.

The suite now has white stripes along the pant sides and I wore a blue cape with a black underside. Brushing my hair to make sure it was nice and spiked at the ends like usual I practiced my lines and vocals.

One can't expect to wow a potential friend if your introduction is poor.

~Yugi's POV~

I yawned after I finished talking to the others.

Kez, Fuboo and Stealth made a door from one of the most common doors around during 1987. They tried connecting the door with one here but something about the place wouldn't allow it.

I had a suspicion that what Marionette was to the Pizzeria was the Me equivalent of Rose's Guard, and thus. Keeping the way shut. I mean, it was hinted that it was the reason the kids ended up in the animatronics to begin with, so there was a chance that it protected those that were stuck here but went after those that shouldn't be here.

Hence the music box.

My ear twitched when I heard music being played.

I thought nothing of it at first but it just got louder, building up. I was about to ask Mangle or Balloon Boy about it but they were gone.

'That's... Weird...' I thought deciding to check it out.

iLet's make it right

Don't wanna start a fight

And we're so sorry if we give you all a little fright.

We're not so scary if you see us in the daylight.

You'll be so happy

Just as long as you survive the night./i

I went through the vent, flashlight in hand, and looked around. The place was still empty looking but the music was clearly coming from the stage.

iLet's try to make it right

Don't wanna start a fight

And we're so sorry if we give you all a little fright.

We're not so scary if you see us in the daylight

You'll be so happy

Just as long as you survive the night./i

I decided that it might be safer in my box so I turned around.

And was faced to grin with Bonnie

"GAH!" I flinched

"Hey there! How ya doing? Nice to meet cha! Are you new in town? Don't think I've seen you be~fore. It's great to see new faces ar~ound!" he grabbed me and pulled me towards the stage "And if you'd like it, I can give a tour, of our enchanting wonderland. New and improved without the doors!" he sung

"WHAT?!"

"There's no escape but then, who would wanna leave?"

"Me!"

"It's a fantastical paradise! And it's not make believe!" he continued as if I didn't say anything "I'm so glad to have another member of the band!" Toy Freddy handed me a guitar. I was oddly touched by this and strummed a few notes "You're one of us now! So let me take you by the ha~nd." he reached for me but paused.

iBut what is that I spy?

bWith my robotic eye?/b

I think I see a bit of flesh inside the new guy!

Maybe she isn't everything that she seems

Time to investigate what's underneath the se~ams./i

I noticed that they had all stopped moving and was watching Bonnie then me. Apparently he saw something as they all made a dive for me. Dodging I tried to run back to my security room but the path was blocked. The exit doors were igone/i like he said and I was basically istuck/i at the stage area with these guys.

iLet's try to make it right

Don't wanna start a fight

And we're so sorry if we give you all a little fright.

We're not so scary if you see us in the daylight

You'll be so happy

Just as long as you survive the night./i

I dodged Chica and Freddy and jumped over Bonnie just to get wrapped up by Mangle.

"Let me go damnit!"

"Please stop struggling." Mangle whispered "I don't want to hurt you."

I thought about simply breaking her then and there

"Please Yugi!" she implored and I sighed, going limp "Thank you." she said placing me on the ground.

"Yeah well, don't let me regret it." I growled

iLet's try to make it right

Don't wanna start a fight

And we're so sorry if we give you all a little fright.

We're not so scary if you see us in the daylight

You'll be so happy

Just as long as you survive the night./i

I was placed on a table and strapped down by her. I looked and saw that the others were walking towards me. All of them looking guilty as hell honestly so I was iconsidering/i giving them the benefit of the doubt.

And changed my mind almost immediately.

i Night~

If you survive the ni~ght.

Oh, I'll take you away

To our enchanted land of play/i

"Forgive me for being suspicious" Bonnie continued singing

'This bastard is istill/i singing?!' I thought incredulously

"Mischief's not on my brain" Chica held up a diagram of herself and Freddy held up a map of the Pizzeria.

The ientire/i Pizzeria.

"We're programmed to be pragmatic if someone messes with the Main Frame."

"Main Frame?" I blinked

"It's not that we don't trust you! We do!" they all hugged me "We love you too 3!"

"Gross" I grimaced

"It's just that at Freddy's" they giggled "We have a few rules. bAND IF YOU BREAK THEM WE WILL HAVE TO iBREAK/i YOU LIKE YOU BROKE OUR HEARTS! WE'LL BE FORCED TO REWIRE YOU AND REPAIR YOUR DAMAGED PARTS!/b"

O_O

"Now you wouldn't want that," Bonnie hummed "and frankly, neither would I. But sometimes to do some good you've gotta ibe the bad guy/i!"

They circled around me hand in hand, eyes big and loving that made my skin crawl.

"In this world we play, we hope that you will stay! And we throw our most Electrifying Soiree! Formal attire is required for you take part." they grabbed the fur on my arm and stomach "You got some skin that needs removing before we sta~rt."

"..."

"This is gonna hurt." I sighed

They ripped the covering in their hands off my body.

"FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKK!"

"Yugi!" I heard Mangle call out.

But my screen was flashing red... Sensitive electrical wiring close to exposure... Must... Eliminate...Sou...rce... Of...

Screen was glitching

"I suggest standing back Mangle, you're currently not... My... Tar..."

I roared

The restraints snapped and I was on all fours, locked onto the three before me as they were the ones holding the protective covering of my form.

b "Targets... iAcquired"/i/b

~Mangle's POV~

b "Targets... iAcquired"/i/b

I stood back as Yugi asked and I backed away.

She was currently in defense mode and she was locked at Chica, Freddy and Bonnie.

With a snarl she spun, her massive tail knocking them back and into the wall. The sudden impact forcing them still and a bark shut them down. My scanner revealed that it was electromagnetic in nature but only small enough to momentarily shut them off.

She growled before standing upright again and picking up the pieces ripped from her. She looked at them and raised her paw, prepared to strike them, but stopped.

"Bringing joy to children and adults in a safe environment." I heard her whisper and she lowered her paw "You were only doing your jobs. Doesn't make it any less damaging though."

She picked them up one by one and placed them on the stage. Digging around the backstage, I watched her cover them in blankets and making sure they'd be alright before going back to her security box.

I blinked when I realized that she was grumbling about psycho bots wanting her flesh worse than zombies.

Staying with the others, Yugi's shift ended and they began waking up.

"Wha? What happened?" Freddy groaned getting up

"We were wrong that's what happened!" snapped Chica

"But the scan showed that she had organic material inside her!" Bonnie growled as he tried to stand.

"But we were wrong and we hurt her!" Chica sobbed "Now she hates us!"

"Not exactly..." I said directing their attentions to the blankets over them and the pillows beneath their heads. "She understood, she didn't like it, but she understood." I continued "She thinks you're zombies now though."

"We need to apologize!" Freddy sighed sadly

"I didn't want to hurt her but..." Bonnie sighed "She read as having organic materials in her. It needed to be removed! How was I supposed to know she was animatronic like us?!"

I didn't think that though.

Something was off about Yugi.

Her response wasn't normal.

An animatronic would have removed the threat as per programming. Had she been one of us and this happened she would have permanently shut us down. We couldn't do that because we were made to get along, Yugi has no such mechanical ties and was hired clearly because she could stop us.

Any iperson/i would have showed either anger and shut us down for good or sympathy and let us go like she did. The last guy, the non-killer, understood us enough that he never retaliated. Yugi retaliates but is careful not to put us out of commission while doing so.

I will have to ask Yugi about it.

~Yugi's POV~

I sat in the security office and read the instructions that were appearing on my screen. Placing the patches of synthetic in place I blinked as the fibers wove together.

"Ooh, they really went all out for this." I blinked then winced "Still stings though."

I heard the phone ring and I got up to answer it, glaring at the animatronics as I passed, I answered. Ignoring the sad stares I was getting from them.

"What the hell happened?!" Fuboo demanded "How the hell did it go from singing to you screaming in ipain/i?!"

"Ugh, a scan of me revealed organic material." I sighed "They were trying to remove it, instead it exposed the inner electronics and made my brain kick into overdrive. Got the skin back on though, you guys did great with this thing."

"Yes well, we need you to be more careful." she admonished

"I'll try." I huffed "Which reminds me, did you pick up anything from the scanner?" I asked

"Uh, two things but nothing clear." she answered and I cursed about the useless thing

"Never mind, I need you to check something for me." I asked

"Yeah?"

"Has anyone messed with the Main Frame in this place at anytime?" I asked "He said that they're programmed to be pragmatic if someone messes with the mainframe, I don't want any surprises popping up. Pink guy is dead along with Purple but that doesn't mean something else won't happen."

"I don't remember reading anything about it..." she trailed off

"The toys get scrapped though remember? But it's never mentioned why. It might have been the '87 thing but that doesn't mean you scrap 'em iall/i."

"Unless they were made together." Fuboo breathed

"What?"

"Nothing, nothing. I need to look into this, I'll call back in a few days. Also, we're getting closer to finding a door so you should be able to visit the manor soon."

"Fine," I sighed "I'll answer next time. Later."

We hung up and I limped my way back to my office.

Checking the time revealed it to be only 4am and I sighed.

"This is going to be a long two hours." I huffed

"Yugi?"

I looked to see Mangle dangling over me on the ceiling.

I gave a heavy sigh

"Yes Mangle?"

"You alright? I see that your covering is back on..." she trailed off

"Yes"

"Will you answer in anything other than either monosyllables or less then 4 words?" she deadpanned and I smiled

"Maybe, maybe not." I chuckled

She gave a quiet laugh of her own.

"They're sorry you know." she whispered

"Yeah well, unless they get the guts to come to me I'm not saying anything to them." I huffed

Silence

"You're..." she paused "What... Are you? Exactly?"

I was about to tell her to mind her own processors but out but remembered what I was asked to do.

"That's... Gonna take some explaining but not here." I sighed "We'll talk in my room."

She nodded and we started talking about various things we've noticed while here. From the kids removing the balls from the games to the few teens that try to sneak in just to get kicked out by me.

Once 6am rolled around Mangled followed me into my room and I locked the door.

"Ask your questions because it will determine what I do next." I growled

"Are you human wearing an animatronic or an animatronic that can imitate human?" she asked

"Neither." I answered removing the suit. Her eyes widen when the metal fittings became limp and fabric. "I'm human, but when I wear the suit I become animatronic. It was made to keep me safe from the other animatronics."

"So it's why you were able to stop us?" she asked and I shook my head.

"Lunge at me." I stated and she looked shocked "Just do it." I sighed rolling my eyes.

She did so and, like before, I grabbed her muzzle, snapping it close in the process while leaving me unharmed.

"See?" I said letting go "That was all me, the suit was designed to ihide/i me from the scans so I wouldn't be attacked because I was fleshy. My last job involved dodging animatronics as they mistook humans for endoskeletons. Let's just say, it didn't usually end well for those caught." I explained putting the suit away. "I can only wear the suit for six to seven hours at a time, eight under some extreme circumstances. But not past that."

"Why not?" she asked sitting on a chair while I cleaned the suit carefully

"Not sure, I notice that the suit shrinks down as I near the eight hour mark, stopping at my normal height so I think it molds to me or something. Not sure what else as I remove the suit by then so anything else is a complete lost to me."

She seemed pensive but nodded

"Alright. Thanks for telling me."

"No problem, I trust you. Just don't tell the others alright? I don't mind Balloon Boy knowing but that's up to you, but not the others." I sighed and she agreed.

"Have a good night Yugi." she said heading out

"You too."

I closed the door and went to sleep.

~Stealth's POV~

We were back at the Pizzeria and Yugi was still an animatronic. Thankfully, it wasn't the sickeningly happy one like before but we were still wondering what the hell happened.

"Oh, they kept me longer and I was unable to remove the suit in time." she shrugged but that didn't sound like her at all.

Asking Mangle, the one Yugi trusted, revealed a darker plot.

That brought me to now.

The music was still going but I had my katana crossing with his, it was ice blue with a black hilt, somewhat matching his form, and it's twin was still in the sheath on his back.

"You made her into an animatronic." I hissed

"Of course, she was a new member of the band and it was imuch/i safer than replacing everything." he hummed "Face it, she's ours now." he sent me back "And we will idestroy/i anyone that tries to take her from us!"

Everyone on that stage, including Mangle, looked ready to back that promise.

"Stealth, stop picking on the bots. They're weird enough iwithout/i the added incentive!"

"But they're keeping you here!"

"It was either that or bring them home." Yugi deadpanned "I am inot/i telling them where I ilive/i."

They ran off the stage and hugged Yugi

"We love you 3!" they grinned

"Yes, yes, I know. Now go play your music and we imight/i play with the kids today." she growled and they cheered as they went back on stage and continued playing music.

"Is there a way to stop this?" I asked Yugi after a few seconds

"Yes, you all got a while after connecting the doors before this happens. I'm gonna need the upgrade to the cells though. I didn't have it so this" she waved at herself "happened. But then again, the alternative is just as bad."

"How so?"

"According to Father Time I used the money I got working here to buy the animatronics. They ilived/i with us."

"..."

I activated my Minecraft account and walked into the 'I give up' hole.

I also ignored Yugi laughing at me while Laura inquired what was wrong.
