Author's Notes: Nothing new except...this chapter is where the wild ride begins.
Chapter 7: New Arrivals
Krueger grabs his throat as Springtrap chokes him before four animatronics grab him and pull him away from Krueger who gasps for breath.
"Calm down Tim! It's not him!" yelled Chica trying to hold back the fighting Springtrap, his head twitching violently before Bonnie smashes him on the head with his guitar and Tim's spirit comes out of Springtrap holding his head.
"Ow! Buzz! What was that for?!" yelled Tim glaring at Bonnie.
"You're not listening to us! He's not the killer!" said Freddy.
"I saw him kill that kid!"
"Are you blind?! I chased the actual killer but lost him down an alley! If I was the killer, my claws would be bloody!" yelled Krueger removing his glove and revealing his claws which are perfectly clean and shiny with a few chips in the blades.
Tim narrows his eyes before he goes back into his body and breaks free of the four's grasp and storms off. They watch him storm off in worry.
"He's losing himself isn't it?" said Foxy lifting up his eye-patch and the other three nod.
"I need time to think." said Krueger sitting down in his office chair and puts his head into his hands.
The four shrug and leave the office, walking around to see if anything had changed beyond what they had seen during their visits to the restaurant from the other side. The only stuff they find new are Leo the Lion, Cobra...the King Cobra and Sparky the Dragon with a few more models under construction in another back room.
With Springtrap...
Springtrap walks into the elevator shaft room and sits against a wall as his spirit comes out of him.
"I'm losing myself...I snapped at my friends...I need to find the actual killer before I become consumed by this anger..." muttered Tim as he held his forehead before his eyes catch a bright white light across the shaft and he goes back into his body and stands up, trying to look into the light before he's temporarily blinded by a bright flash. When he can see again, he finds that he's staring...at himself, like he's looking into a mirror but...a mirror that shows his past only his reflection has black curly hair instead of black spiky hair.
His animatronic jaw drops at how the figure in front of him matches his former appearance excluding the hair, the scar, the ear-splitting eternal smile, the guard hat with a visor preventing his eyes from being seen.
"Stop gawking." says the figure and Springtrap closes his animatronic mouth slowly, his head suddenly jerks to one side.
"Don't remember me?" says the figure and Springtrap shakes his head and the figure sighs.
"Well...this is going to be fun."
"Hey Purple! Whose your new friend?" says a animatronic popping up behind "Purple" and putting razor sharp claws and a tri-bladed chainsaw on the figure's shoulders as he stands behind the figure. The animatronic looks like a dragon in design but his costume is torn to tatters with bits and pieces hanging from his body. His jaws spark wildly due to a damaged servo and one of his eyes is blue while the other is blood red. His teeth are jagged and sharp, capable of easily tearing through flesh and bone.
His left hand has razor sharp claws but his right hand has been replaced with a tri-bladed chainsaw which is also removable. He looks and smiles sheepishly before removing the tri-bladed chainsaw and throwing it aside.
The animatronic is also heavily waterlogged, soaking the figure's shoulders as he stands over him with his hand on his shoulder, the man not even flinching under the animatronic's weight. The animatronic's feet are claws that are serrated and dangerously sharp, leaving claw marks in the metal floor. The waterlogged animatronic also has a flat red mane hanging over the side of his head and the fur covering the tip of his tail is flat as well and would be considered "balding" the fur is so scarce.
Springtrap remains silent as he looks at the animatronic.
"Oh! I know where we are! Hey Purple, didn't you say you fought alongside a alternate version of you that got trapped in Spring during the Dimensional Barrier Incident?" said the animatronic looking at Purple with his blue eye and Purple nods, "Well...call me...Fright. My real name is..."
The animatronic leans close and whispers his name to Springtrap, causing his eyes to widen and he looks at Fright.
"Heh heh heh...don't you love alternate universes?" said Fright chuckling.
Springtrap tilts his head as Purple whacks Fright upside the head.
"Ow! What was that for?" said Fright rubbing the back of his head with his claws.
"You know why." said Purple looking at him with his green eye as he removed his guard hat.
"Oh...yeah...me breaking the fourth wall...sorry."
Springtrap looks completely lost before he hears heavy footsteps behind the two in front of him and he looks to see four heavily deteriorated animatronics that match the four kids' animatronic bodies only heavily deteriorated, mirroring how they looked in 1987 only worse.
The Freddy double has a lazy eye being a faded blue, a broken lower jaw that hangs open, one of his arms being completely void of fur, parts of his costume being torn open but the odd thing, is that instead of having a motor box visible in his chest, he has a beating heart. (1)
The Bonnie double is missing his face, one of his arms and both his legs are void of fur up to the knees revealing the metal underneath. His only arm is bare endoskeleton. Like the Freddy double, he has a beating heart as well.
The Chica double is missing an eye, both her hands and one of her feet, making her height uneven because one leg is shorter than the other. Her jaw is also broken and is barely held up by wires. Like the other two doubles, she has a beating heart in her chest.
The Foxy double looks the worst out of the four doubles. His costume is waterlogged and only his upper body has any fur covering it, revealing most of his endoskeleton. His legs are still covered by tan tattered pants though. He's missing his left eye and his right hand happens to be his hook but its been replaced by a huge tri-clawed hook that also acts as a hand. His left arm is bare endoskeleton up to the shoulder and his lower jaw is hanging loosely from one hinge. The only part of his tail still covered with fur, is the tip.
Like the other three doubles, he too has a beating heart in his chest.
"What?" wheezed Springtrap as he looked at the four in shock because of them having beating hearts.
"Long story." said the Freddy double dusting off his tattered hat that actually almost looked like a Ghastly Gibus(2) it was so badly damaged.
A sixth animatronic walks into view but keeps its appearance hidden with a purple cloak covering it completely except for its two white feet with red claws.
"Who...is...that?" said Springtrap pointing to the sixth animatronic who pulled the cloak tighter against themselves.
"She...doesn't feel comfortable with anyone seeing her actual appearance since...we got closed down." said Fright rubbing his neck sheepishly.
"Why?"
"Long story. Anyway, mind showing us around. Never mind. I'll show myself around, it is night after all." said Fright before he turned into a blur, giving Purple whiplash hair and he growls slightly.
Meanwhile...
Malefor is seen waiting for Scary to wake up inside a makeshift shack from collected wood and metal and Scary slowly begins to wake up before holding his head in pain.
"Finally." muttered Malefor as he got up and walked over to him and helped him to his feet.
"Where...where are we?" said Scary holding his head.
"How should I know? I've never been outside of my friend's world." said Malefor crossing his arms.
"We need to get to Freddy's."
"Why?"
"Something...something's just telling me to go there before it's too late." said Scary looking lost in thought before he shakes his head clear and walks out of the shack. He looks himself over and finds that he's wearing the same clothes he was wearing in 2037 and shrugs it off before looking around and heads in the direction he feels the pizzeria is in. Malefor slowly follows him.

(1) Wondering on the beating heart thing? One sentence: versions from "Tails the Machine" set a couple thousand years in the future. Still confused? Fright gives it away.
