CHAPTER 4
Zach POV
8:00AM
Zach's house
I still wondered how after all these years, Foxy was still as good a storyteller as ever. His story bothered me slightly, but only because of how he suffered for trying to protect me. "DING!" The sound of my toast popping out of my toaster shook my thoughts off last night. I walked over and pulled the burnt piece of bread out." Damnit, why can't I cook anything" I thought " I am a genius but I still can't make toast, freaking toast!". I started to calm down. If I can get the others to remember me then maybe Chica could teach me how to cook. I was Foxy's best human friend so him remembering wasn't too hard. Plus Freddy might be a little mad about the pain sensors. Hopefully Foxy would be able to help them remember. I walked to my personal vault of food I did know how to make. "Hmm... Let's see. Ramen, ramen, and more ramen." Well at least my techsmarts are better than my foodsmarts. "Ugh, I really need to take cooking classes" I told myself. Once I finished my breakfast I headed into my basement. My lab was down there. Along with my video games. I walked into my lab and over to my virtual reality table. Think matrix and you got a good idea of how it works. I set it to a training arena and plugged myself in.
I was in a black world as the loading process began. I saw a whole armory appear before me. I quickly picked out my special knife. Mentally I transported myself to an arena. Enemies quickly started to surround me. I smiled and wrapped the paracord around my hand. As the first enemy ran at me, taking the form of an ancient roman soldier, I whipped the knife at him. It stuck in his arm and I pulled him towards me. He fell and I jumped upon him and quickly stabbed his heart. Two more came from behind and grabbed my arms. A spartan charged at me, spear tip nearing my stomach. I jumped at the last second and pushed the spear to the ground, unbalancing him. I quickly drop kicked his face and he recoiled back. Suddenly I saw a blade come out my chest. I had forgotten about the two holding my arms. My vision faded and I woke up from the simulation. " I still need to work on not getting trapped" I told myself. As I walked around I decided to test my knife. I set it down on a table and tested some of its modes." Dull. Check. Electric. Check. Plasma. Check. Flame. Check. Throwing..." I threw the knife at the target on the wall. Bullseye. "... Check.". I checked the time. 12:00. One more thing to check before I can sleep. I walked over to a large cabinet. It was filled with what looked like flash drives but the edges were a little sharper. I stuck one into the wall and saw a circuit board looking pattern appear on the wall." I will remove it later" I thought as I headed for my bedroom.

ZACH POV
11:55PM
I checked to see if my knife was still with me. It was one of my most prized possessions. Plus if things got bad I might need it. I decided before I left that I don't want to have to fight Freddy or the others, so I will try a diplomatic approach and use some force when needed. The clock chimed, telling me it was now 12:00. I was sitting in the main room in a corner so I saw the animatronics start to move and look around. They didn't seem to notice me. I waited a few minutes before walking into view and waving to them. They stopped and stared at me. There seemed to be an awkward silence for a few minutes before I heard Foxy's voice say " this here be me first mate Zach". "Let the night begin" I heard a voice that spoke in my head.
Chica POV
The endo was standing in the middle of the room. We just stared at it in an attempt to scare it. It didn't work. Suddenly Foxy's voice said " this here he me first mate Zach". " Foxy, why are you friends with the endo?" I asked. " he be no endo" Foxy replied. " he be the boy from the incident". I felt a strange buzzing noise coming from the back of my head." I don't know what you are talking about" I told Foxy. I seemed to remember a... bad thing happened six years ago. But what was it? "Freddy, my head hurts" I said. " if you want you can sit this one out Chica" he replied. I gladly sat to the side of the stage. I wonder if the endo can explain why he is different than the others
