"Unlike Ballora, Funtime Foxy is motion-activated. For this reason, it is important to keep the room dark, as to not accidentally activate her."So this is why the room is always dark 24/7, I assumed.
"You have been provided with a flash beacon."I looked down to find a small beacon-shaped object at my feet, which I scooped up into my hands, holding it in my grasp.
"Use it if you need to get your bearings, and to ensure you won't bump into anything. However, use it as sparingly as possible. Proceed forward to reach the Parts and Service Room."I slightly trembled in my place as I flashed the beacon, gaining sight of a door leading to the Parts & Service room, across the Funtime Auditorium. However, no one seemed to be in front of me, so I took a few steps forward, before the sound of footsteps-which were not mine-echoed in the room. With a slight "Meep" escaping my lips, I stopped in place, listening closely for the footsteps.
Was that Funtime Foxy?
The footsteps faded out, so I continued my walk through the auditorium, after taking another beacon flash of course, the distance between me and the door slowly but surely diminishing.
"I can hear you over there in the dark..."My body froze up and my heart skipped several beats, the voice easily becoming the main thing on my mind. I let out a gulp, only for no footsteps to sound off. Regardless, I stayed still, not wanting to be caught by Funtime Foxy at all costs, even if she recognized me.
Once I was certain she was gone, I flashed the beacon, gaining a closer look of the Parts & Service room. Just a few more steps and I'll be golden. Making my much quicker approach, I gripped the handle and pulled the door open, disappearing behind it as the door closed. I let out a sigh of relief, clicking on the flashlight I kept attached to my belt.
There was I, face to face with Funtime Freddy. I almost screamed in absolute terror, if it hadn't been for Hand Unit's interjection.
"Great job reaching Parts and Service! It seems that Funtime Freddy is out of power, which should make your job much easier."Out of power. I silently cheered and prayed for my safety that Hand Unit wasn't lying.
"The release switch for the chest cavity is located on the underside of the endoskeleton jaw. To reach it, we will first need to remove the face plates. You will need to press the face plate release triggers in a specific order, and it's important to be as precise and as careful as possible."I feel like this won't end well for me, physically and emotionally.
"Please locate the button on Freddy's face, just under his right cheek and press it." Before I did that, I thought of whether he meant my right or Freddy's right. Assuming he meant Freddy's, I pressed the button under the left side of his face-or right, in Freddy's perspective-.
"Great. Now locate the button under his left cheek, and press it."My finger did the same, this time for his left cheek.
"Great, now carefully locate and press the button just next to Freddy's right eye."Said and done.
"Great, now locate and press the button just above Freddy's nose."
Upon receiving his direction, I swore that my heart had stopped momentarily as Freddy's face plates spread open, revealing the disturbing endoskeleton underneath, which caused my scream to be heard nearly throughout the entire establishment, though that may just be an exaggeration.
"Good job. The face plates should now be opened. Locate and press the small button on the underside of Freddy's endoskeleton jaw."Looking at the carefully modeled frame of Freddy's endoskeleton face, I clicked the button, which, like he said, was underneath his jaw. With a loud bang, the chest slowly opened up, revealing the power module amongst a mess of wire framing.
"Excellent. The chest cavity should now be opened. Remove the power module from the chest cavity."I pryed the small module off of Freddy's chest cavity slowly but surely.
"Great work. You will now be required to remove the secondary power module on the Bonnie Hand Puppet. Press the large black button beneath Bonnie's bowtie to release the power module."Oh yeah, there was his hand puppet too. I had nearly forgotten about it coming into the Parts & Service room. Looking over to my left, I reached outward to grab Bonnie's bowtie, only for my hand to grasp air.
It was gone.
The Bonnie Hand Puppet was gone. Se ha ido.
The sound of slight giggling and minor footsteps reaching my ears. It was alive, and on the move.
"Hee hee, looking for me?"
The small, but easily audible voice echoed in the room, and I jerked my head and flashlight up to see the Bonnie hand puppet, staring directly at me, a toothy grin plastered on its plastic face. I could only hold the light on it, as it tilted its head to the side, giving me a curious look.
"Oh, I bet you're trying to press this, eh?" He asked, pointing a small finger to the black button underneath his bow tie. "I'll tell ya what, if you can catch me in a game of Hide N' Seek, I'll let ya press it, okay?"
I stood there, silent. This thing could talk on its own, and it was offering to play a game with me. I could only nod my head slowly as the puppet giggled, disappearing behind Freddy's shoulder.
"Let the games begin!"
Instantly, I frantically moved my light across Freddy's torso, in hopes of catching the puppet in his act. However, as fast as he appears, he disappears, leaving my equal-sized hands empty.
"Hee hee, gotta be faster than that!"
Great, now he was mocking me. Then I thought to myself for a second, for a plan on catching this hand puppet. As I pondered a solution, my hazel eyes gained view of the Bonnie Hand Puppet, slowly rising from behind Freddy's back, silenty snickering to himself. Then it hit me, I would stall for time, then strike when the button came to view.
So I waited, Bonnie slowly rising further and further, the black button mere centimeters from reveal. With a speed I couldn't ever exert again if I tried, my hand shot forward, wrapping around the puppet's body and holding him upward.
I could tell he was embarrassed by his loss in this game, as he crossed his own arms and pouted.
"Ah, phooey! I would've had it if I hadn't revealed myself so easily! Oh well, you win, go ahead and press the switch."
As he had promised, I pressed the black button underneath Bonnie's bowtie, releasing the secondary power module rather quickly. I decided placing the now still hand puppet back into Freddy's handless right arm.
"Great job. You've acquired both power modules. This completes your tasks for the night. Please exit the building through Funtime Auditorium, and we'll see you back again tomorrow."I clicked off my flashlight, placing back into the holster on my belt, and opened the door to Funtime Auditorium, flash beacon at the ready.
One flash. Nothing was there.
I took a few steps forward, no footsteps heard, so I picked up the pace, wanting to get out of this place as quickly as I can.
"You can't run, matey..."I gulped, my moving and breathing slowing down to a mere sluggish pace. I tried looking around me, but the lack of light without my beacon left me unable to properly see anything.
"I'm right behind you, mate..."I could feel a finger tap me on the shoulder. I gulped, slowly turning my body around, only for Funtime Foxy to emerge from the darkness, face plates spread out, endoskeleton revealed, and screeching as loud as possible in my face.
I let out a girlish scream of my own, leaping back dozens of feet as I landed on my rump, banging my head on a nearby table.
"Oof..." I clutched my head dizzily, seeing Funtime Foxy slowly approach me, fingers seemingly much sharper than normal. Her endoskeleton eyes slowly squinted at me as I cowered in fear, her footsteps being the only thing I could hear as the distance between her and I closed.
"You think that this career of yours is a game? You think that we don't possess feelings, so you can simply electrocute us? Is that it?!"I pathetically hid my face in my hands as her tone grew sharp and loud, on the brink of causing anyone's ears to bleed this close.
"Pathetic. I would've expected a more challenging kill, but oh well. At least I can bring you down, to end the suffering of ALL of us." She raised her right hand, and swung forward, where it connect to the soft flesh of my right arm. I cried out as the blade easily sliced across the skin, drawing three small trails of crimson.
"Funtime Foxy, STOP!"Both Funtime Foxy and I looked up to the source of the voice, which directed us to a figure hidden in the dark. A click of my flashlight revealed ths figure in plain sight: Ballora.
