*Warning* this chapter contains seens of violence. (the fight seens begin after the stranger in kitchen, and Freddy's backstory is gruesome, although it contains no gore or blood) however they contain elements of the story, I used as little violence as possible. so I leave the choice to read up to you. best of luck
Mike woke up the next morning to the sound of his phone ringing. Mike slowly dragged himself out from under the warm covers and into the cold that permeated the
air inside his apartment. Shuffling over to the wall that held the phone, Mike picked up the receiver. The phone was such an old model, it surprised Mike that the fossil of a phone still worked.
"Hello?" the sound of a familiar voice drifted to Mike's tired ears. "Mike, it's me, Angela, always, I was calling to see if you could put in some more overtime tonight."
Taking a few moments to processes Angela's request, Mike replied with a very tired sounding "Sure"
"Great, I'll need you to come in around 9:30, the janitorial staff will be finishing up around that time, so don't forget to lock up" Angela instructed
"Ok" Mike said, rubbing the sleep out of his eyes. Hanging the receiver on the phone, Mike decided to make some breakfast. As Mike cooked his breakfast, he spent the time to reflect on what happened last time he had to do overtime. Last time I did overtime, I found out that Freddy and his family weren't trying to kill me. So hopefully the trend of good things happing will continue. Of course things could also go downhill, but I doubt that will happen.
Sitting down on his ratty old couch, Mike watched TV as he eat his breakfast.
"Today, Congress will vote on the passage of the 29th amendment" a news caster narrated, standing in front of the building of congress. Flipping the channel, Mike stopped on another news channel, which talked mostly about heartwarming, good felling stories and the latest celebrity gossip. Flipping channels again, Mike cruised through his limited channels, all 1,200 of them. Mike finally settled on watching an old cartoon about a super teen with a bird motif, and his group of friends; a green skinned boy, an older robotic teenager and two girls, an alien and a goth-looking girl.
Mike woke up, leaning against a large oak tree. Looking around, Mike saw the long grass billow in the wind. "Where am I?" Mike wondered aloud. The wind responded by hitting him with a gust. Walking back to the tree, Mike looked up into the branches and saw a shape falling towards him. Leaping back, Mike fell to the ground at the figure caught a low hanging branch, stopping its decent.
"Hello there Mikey" it greeted in a cheerful voice as it squatted down on the branch. Taking in the figure; its long legs, and hazel green eyes with flecks of brown and what appeared to be a ring of gold encircling the purple, and dark brown hair that was clearly un-kept. Its clothing consisted of an olive green jacket vest underneath a brown jacket. Dark jeans and a pair of black boots covered its legs and feet. And apart from the ring of gold, it looked like a perfectly normal human. Although Mike had a hard time figuring out what it's gender was, assuming it had one.
"Who are you?" Mike asked, picking himself up off the ground and dusting himself off.
Before the person responded, it sat on the branch and hung upside down, its face a few feet away from Mike's face. "Who I am is not important, after all, you are the main charter! But if you have to call my by a name, you may call me Orian" the figure said as it extended its hand.
Timidly shaking the hand, Mike said "It's nice to meet you Orian…I guess. But where am I?"
"A dream" Orian replied, closing its eyes "well your dream anyways" after thinking about the figure's stamen he asked "what is it you're doing in my dream, oh and what did you mean the main charter"
Giving a chuckle, the figures brown jacket flopped down, smacking it in the head "Ouch" after a moment of rubbing it's head, the figure continued "well, I had to fill in for the usual harbinger, because he isn't currently available" looking behind Mike the figure corrected himself "Oh, wait. here he is"
Spinningaround, Mike found himself back in a ruined version of the Pizzeria, Mike was face to face, once again, to the Golden bear. Staring into its empty eyes, Mike heard its voice. A strange sound, it was a cross between an electronic gibberish and that of a young child's voice.
"Prepare, he is arriving, you must prepare. I don't know how I can help you just yet, you must survive" once the bear delivered it's cryptic message, it vanished in the blink of an eye.
"Oh, Mike I forgot to tell you" came a voice from behind him. Spinning around Mike was face to face once again with Orian "Wake up" reaching out with the index finger, Orian touched Mike's forehead.
Opening his eyes, Mike once again found himself laying on his couch in his apartment. Picking up the TV remote, he shut it off and sat upright. What was that all about? Mike thought to himself as he looked at his apartment clock. '5:32 PM' was what the time read. Well I have a few more hours to kill Mike thought to himself as he decided what to do over the next four hours and twenty eight minutes.
At 8:24 Mike decided to walk to the local convince store a few blocks away and then to the Pizzeria. So after changing into his faded purple uniform and locking the door to his apartment, Mike set off to the convince store.
Mike arrived at the Pizzeria 45 minutes later. Walking in through the back door, Mike walked by his office to drop off his soda and the couple of snacks he bought. Making his way to the main room, Mike opened the door to revile the janitorial staff cleaning the floor and setting party hats on the tables.
"I am telling you Jeff, I feel like those robots are watching us." The youngest of the four janitors tried to whisper to an old man who was moping the floor.
Chuck, I told you for the last time, they is nothing but a group of spare wires and gismos strung together by some fancy metal and plastic" Jeff grouchily relied, continuing to mop the same spot "But you is right bout something, I fells like their eyes are watching when our backs are turned"
Take advantage of the silence, Mike caught the attention of the janitors by clearing his throat. "Ahem, do any of you know where Angela is?" he asked
Speaking up, a young redheaded girl who looked like a high school student, said "she normally would be in the office, but she cleared out the moment we arrived. She looked tired as F*ck"
"Thanks" Mike told her as he made his way to the stage and sat down on the edge.
As time slowly ticked away only one janitor, the old man named Jeff, remained.
"You there, the boy" he said in a voice that would be a perfect fit for the old meme about the grumpy old cat. "What are you doing here? Don't you know it's time for the place to close?"
"Yes sir, I do know. I am the night guard after all" Mike replied. With an almost disappointed grunt, the janitor grab a cart full of cleaning supplies and walked over to the supply closet to put away the cleaning material.
As Jeff left the building, Mike heard the back door slam shut. As the sound rebounded throughout the building Freddy, Bonny, Chica and Foxy sprang to life.
"Hello Mike, you are here early, and putting in overtime as well I suppose" Freddy greeted as he stepped down off the stage.
"Hia Mikey" Chica chirped cheerfully, gently moving offstage.
"Sup Mike?" Bonny said in his best 'cool man' accent.
Avast ye, matey. I trust the sea was kind to ye and the sailing was smooth" greeted Foxy as he jumped off his stage, landing on the floor with a clatter.
"Hey guys." Mike replied "how did your day go?" he asked this more out of habit than of curiosity, but he would still listen to what they had to say, after all not everyone got to work with living androids.
"Well there had a huge birthday party and I to hold the cupcake" Chica said as she walked towards the kitchen "well, I have to do a few things, so don't destroy anything while I am in the kitchen"
"No promises" Bonny piped in as he pulled out his guitar and began to strum a few notes.
Mike's curiosity was peeked as to what the cupcake was, so naturally he asked Freddy what it was
"The cupcake?" Freddy replied "oh, the cupcake is an old prop that we use for large birthday parties. Strangely enough it has eyes, one might thing that would scare some of the children. But so far the children seem excited about it."
"Eyes?" Mike repeated, turning it into a question
"Yes, two eyes, blue, I think. I never got a proper look at it." Freddy said, adjusting his bow tie.
"So what do you guys normally do on your days off?" Mike asked as the question popped into his head.
"what ye see us doing now, me bucko" Foxy responded, walking over to where Mike sat on the stage " Chica does her thing in the kitchen, Bonny attempts to make a new tune on his fancy harp"
"It's called a guitar and you know it, you bilge rat" Bonny said in response to Foxy's jab
"Freddy usually cleans up what the janitors miss and then helps Chica if she needs it, or Bonny if he needs his voice" Foxy continued in his pirate themed accent "And I have Bonny set up yer tablet and then browse the web"
Oh crap. Mike thought to himself I don't know how many movies have a killer robot, but I know most of them find the internet and go crazy "so, Foxy. You fell any need to, ya know, destroy humanity or anything?" Mike asked nervously
"Yes, he has. In fact he has this whole plan on how to blow up the earth in one fell swoop" Bonny teased, momentarily stopping his composing
"Eye, lad. Do you happen to know where I could find a few dozen nuclear bombs?" Foxy joined in
"Oh haha, very funny you two" Mike said, crossing his arms.
Poking his head out from the west hall, Freddy spoke up "or you could just over load your anti-matter core, I think that will have the same effect"
Turning pale, Mike asked Bonny and Foxy "you guys run on anti-matter?"
Looking down at Mike, Bonny replied "No, that stuff is too expensive, and dangerous. We run off almost any form of energy, and we come with a plug for any solar panels and a stander power cord with adapter" than it struck Bonny like a preverbal baseball bat "Wait, did Freddy just tell a joke?" he exclaimed aloud
As the trio spun around to look at Freddy, he was long gone into the hallway. Looking back at each other, the tri marveled at this newfound discovery.
"I didn't know Freddy told jokes" Mike quietly exclaimed "or funny ones anyways"
"I thought the manufactures forgot to install a humor module" Bonny joked
"Or may haps he simply malfunctioned?" Foxy questioned
After Foxy and Bonny burst out in a fit of laughter, Bonny managed to say "that must be it, he just glitches out and is suddenly able to tell half way decent jokes"
It was after 1 in the morning that Mike sat down in his office and started to nod off.
As Mike's head fell off his hand, Mike awoke and decided to walk off the sleep. So walking down the east hall and past the kitchen door into the main room. Swinging open the door, mike found Bonny on stage, strumming a new song on his guitar. Looking towards Foxy's stage, he saw Foxy and Freddy staging a sword fight with the fake props. As Foxy lunged, Freddy blocked and countered with a swipe. Ducking down, Foxy returned Freddy's swipe with his own, aimed at his ankles. And much to Mike's surprise, Freddy jumped, dogging the attack. Mike stood there watching them fight for about a half hour, until the swords flew out of their hands, resulting in a draw.
"How do you guys fight like that?" Mike asked after the duo had exchanged compliments and possible corrections in their fighting style.
"Well, we are pre-programmed with an amazing variety of ability's, we can do everything from cook to fight. So naturally we can fight with almost anything; swords, batons, knifes and un-armed combat." Freddy explained, perhaps a little too proudly.
"Eye, we can put over two tons of force into our punch." Foxy bragged as he leaned his sword against the wall of the cove. Then a loud crashing sound came from the kitchen.
As the doors to the kitchen opened, Mike, Freddy, Foxy and Bonny looked as Chica quickly strutted out of the kitchen.
"Umm, Freddy. Mike is the only one who is supposed to be here right?" she asked, with a look that could only be described as panicked.
"What someone else is here?" Freddy said as he put his dress jacket back on
"Yes, he was dressed like Mike, but bright purple" Chica told him
"So it's not the day guard, his suit is blue" Bonny added
"I will go in there and see what he wants" Freddy said as he began to make his way towards the kitchen. Mike fallowed Freddy, who held out his arm and said "Mike, you need to stay here, you could get hurt"
"It's my job to guard this place, and somehow this bugger made his way inside without alerting us." Mike said as he pushed past Freddy and made his way into the kitchen.
As Mike and Freddy stood in the kitchen, facing the stranger who was dressed like Mike, only his uniform was a bright purple, unlike Mike's faded color. Something about this guy seems familiar Mike thought to himself
"Who are you?" Freddy was the first to speak "what are you doing here?"
"Me?" the man replied "you both know who I am"
"no we don't know you" Mike said aloud "Now get out of here"
"tisk tisk Mikey. Treating an honored guest in such a way is very unbecoming of the Fazbear name" the stranger condescend
"You are not a guest" Freddy said, he sounded angry, almost dangerous "you are an intruder. If you refuse to leave, you will be forcefully removed"
"Oh is that so?" as the man spoke, his eyes turned white, showing only his black pulps. "I would like to see you try. The last time we met, the only reason you survived was because you where immobilized"
"What is he talking about?" Mike asked Freddy, even though he was freaked out by the man's eyes
"I don't quite know" Freddy said, as his hands curled into fists
"Perhaps you will recognize me by this form" for a quick second, the man was engulfed in a bright purple and gold light. As the light faded, the man was gone, and a decayed, golden rabbit animatronic stood in his place. "Now do you recognize me?"
"Yes" Freddy growled, as his eyes narrowed into a darkness, broken only by a narrow pinprick of white light. "And you can forget about walking out of here, I'll send you out in a box you monster"
At these words, the golden bunny sprinted towards and tackled Freddy out of the kitchen. Chasing after them, Mike fallowed them out into the main room.
"You Monster! You will pay for what you did" Freddy said as he wrestled with the animatronic. As the others came over to help Freddy, they stopped for some unknown reason, and began to wave their arms about, as if they were fighting something that only they could see.
Then Mike under stood what it was they were fighting, as a figure began to form in front of him. It was his dad, who had died just as he started collage, and he appeared like mike's worst living night mare.
It was two days after his mother died, when he came home drunk, and began to beat Mike, mumbling about it being Mike's fault for his mother's death. Because his father was twice his size and three times as strong, Mike couldn't fight back, and it wasn't from lack of trying.
Running away from the figure of his drunk father, Mike fled to the far corner of the room. But the ghostly figure fallowed him.
"It's your fault, you little b!tch. If you hadn't put so much stress on her, we could have noticed the symptoms earlier." As the figure spoke and raised its hand, Mike regressed mentally to a 12 year old "No, dad. It wasn't my fault. You had her stressed out, not me" Mike cowered, raising his arm in defense from the raised hand "you sniveling little brat, you have the nerve to blame me?" the figure said in drunken slur.
Before the hand could strike Mike, another arm blocked it and a high pitched and familiar voice said "Mike, get up. And you need to stop, sir, it's not Mikes fault she died. It couldn't be helped. I know it's sad, but that's no excuse to take your grief out on Mike" as Mike looked at the figure, he realized that it was a young version of Jess, who ended up saving Mike that day.
"you little f gg, I'll teach you to talk to me like that!" the figure said, as it punched the form of Jess in the face, but as it happened on that day, Jess quickly recovered and kicked Mike's dad in the groin, causing him to keel over in pain. Grabbing Mikes arm, Jess's ghost asked him if he could stood up. Once Mike stood up, the younger version Jess smiled and said "I am glad I could see you again, and I am happy that you found a new family"
That never happened on that day Mike thought to himself
"Oh and I never got to finish what I was going to say on that day, when I died" an tear started to roll down the side of his face "I wanted to tell you that I-" and as the ghost of Jess faded away, so did the crippled ghost of his drunken father.
With reality hitting him like a splash of cold water, Mike looked around and found Freddy griping the Golden animatronic by the throat, and lifting him off the ground. And as it struggled to free itself, Mike and the others rushed over to them.
"Bastard, you are responsible for those deaths, you will pay for it" Freddy growled.
"Me, responsible? I only asked them to do that, you chose to act it out" the rabbit replied, in a voice that sounded like it would be grinning if it was physically possible.
"Well, it is time for you to die, once and for all" Freddy said, squeezing his hand tighter around his throat
"But you couldn't hurt a man could you?" the rabbit said as the purple and gold light engulfed him, and the man was once again in the grasp of Freddy.
"You are not a man, you are a MONSTER" Freddy yelled at an almost ear shattering level, and began to crush the man's throat. However, the man only laughed and said
"You think this hurts? I've been through far worse." The purple suited man said.
"Then allow me to try to hurt you" and as Freddy grabbed the man's arm, Chica covered Mike's eyes with her hand and turned him around as he heard the sound of ripping flesh and bone.
"Where did that bastard go?" he heard Freddy roar. Lifting Chica's hand off his face, Mike turned around and saw Freddy looking around him.
"What happened to that guy?" Mike asked, visibly shaking from what he heard Freddy do.
"He disappeared, simply disappeared" Bonny said, standing in shook at the two terrors that he just saw
It was a while later, when Freddy calmed down and Mike was certain Freddy wouldn't try anything else. They all sat around the table, and asked for an explanation from Freddy about his actions. "It before I awoke here, I was in a mall. I was supposed to be a worker at some store. But I guess something happened, but they ended up using me as a manikin, so they disabled my motor functions. I assume it was for that reason I ended up in storage, along with you three." Freddy said "It's was at night when that rabbit came to me and said "Humm, you won't do much good, you can't even move" and I didn't think of it as anything, apart from a glitch of some sort from standing still for so long. But it wasn't until about mid-afternoon it began to make sense. That's when the other began to slaughter the humans in the mall. I was forced to stand there, watching the people get massacred."
Freddy paused and looked to the floor before he continued "I had hope there was some helping the people when an android in a security guards uniform brought a family into the store. But he crushed the fathers head and tore the mother in two. Then he turned to the children." At this point, Freddy stood up and began to rabbit punch the air as fast as he could, as his eyes returned to black with a white pinprick. "And I couldn't do anything. I was forced to watch. Helplessly. I couldn't do anything." Dropping to his knees, Freddy grasped the air. "I want to break something, I need to do something, I can't hold it anymore." A few moments later, Foxy found an iron bar and gave it to Freddy, who tore into two pieces in a swift motion and crumpled them into a ball.
"Never again will I sit helpless, I don't care what Angela says, if I see someone hurt a child, aside from an accident, I won't hold back." Freddy spoke and as he did, he turned towards Mike and said "that's how I knew that man, and why I did what I did to him"
Then something strange happened. Mike was suddenly on the floor of his office, and his head throbbed with pain. "What just happened?" Mike asked aloud as he got up and made his way to the Main room.
Bonny, Freddy and Foxy where huddled around the table, and Chica had just left the kitchen.
"What happened?" Mike asked "Did I fall asleep or something?"
"I don't know" Freddy said. "But I think we did"
"I remember having to fight some strange bear thing, but I looked at my Combat Log and nothing is recorded" Bonny ponder aloud
"What's a Combat Log?" Mike asked
"It's like a Black Box, only it records any fights and the information recorded during it. It helps with any police records." Chica explained to Mike "but if it's empty, then Bonny didn't fight anything, and mine is empty as well, seeing as I fought some duck-type thing"
"So, wait" Mike said "did you guys have a dream about a purple dude and a golden rabbit?"
Everyone turned to look at Mike, causing him to take a step back, since they all turned to face him at the same time.
"Yes, and I told you all what happened before I came here" Freddy said, lowering his voice.
"Did that really all that happen?" Foxy asked.
"Yes" Freddy replied. "Please do not bring it up again, I fear I may lose it and do something I may regret"
"So it wasn't a dream? I don't think we could share a dream, your androids and I am a human." Mike said, trying to sort out the confusion.
"I don't know exactly what happened, but it did not play out in the real world, that is the only thing that I know" Freddy replied.
Then the bell rang for the end of Mike's shift, it was 6:00 am.
"I'll see you all later" Mike said standing up. "I know I don't have to work tomorrow, But I think I should be here incase anything happens."
"well, me bucko, we'll be seeing ye then" Foxy said in usual, cheery voice.
After Mike had said his good byes, he walked home and reflected on what just happened.
