Tony was sleeping away inside the office before Goldie woke him minutes before his shift ended. He stood up and stretched with a smile on his face before he gathered his things.
"That was the best dream I've had in a long time." he said.
"And it'll only get better." Goldie said. "Thanks for letting me go skydiving with you."
"Like you would've take no for an answer?" Tony asked, making them both laugh before the chime went off. "We'll, shift's over. Wonder if they'll be back later today?"
"I honestly don't know." she said as Goldie changed and walked out of the bathroom. He was heading towards the exit before Mr. Fazbear came in with a frown on his face.
"Hey Mr. Fazbear." Tony said as Mr. Fazbear walked past him without looking at him. "Okay, see you tomorrow." Tony said before leaving. "Wonder what his deal was?" Tony asked before he got on his bike and slowly rode away.
"You sure it's safe to be on your bike?" Goldie asked.
"Pedal slowly and avoid heavy traffic." Tony said before he left.
-Back at Tony's Apartment-
Tony walked in and walked towards his bed before he realized something.
"I slept at work. I'm not tired." he said. "Cool! But...what am I gonna do all day?" Tony sighed before sitting on his couch. He slowly looked at his apartment, which was a bit of a mess like usual, before his eyes landed on a box with a piece of paper on it. "Where'd that come from?" he asked as he walked over and looked down at it. He picked up the paper and read it.
Dear Tony,
Your Grandmother heard you got a job and was ecstatic about it. She decided to send you this present, and also hopes that you'll use it well in your job. Don't really know what it is, but I hope it does help you as well.
Bob
Tony smiled before he put the note down and carefully opened the box. He looked down at it and blinked before he grinned.
"Thank you, Grandma!" Tony shouted as he lifted it out of the box and admired it. It was a brand new, top of the line, laptop. Attached was a note that said it had a year of internet service paid for on it, and an instruction manual.
"I've seen other people bring these into the pizzeria." Goldie said as she looked at it through Tony's mind.
"If they loved the books, then they're gonna love this." Tony said before his stomach rumbled. "I'm hungry. Time to eat!" After a quick breakfast of cereal and an apple, Tony decided to test out his new laptop and see exactly what it can do.
-4 hours later-
Tony was smiling as he stretched from his seat. He learned that his grandmother had put quite a few things on his new laptop, including a DVD player.
"That was fun." Tony said. "Can't wait to show the girls."
"You may not have to wait long." Goldie said. "I overheard Fazdouche's phone conversation. They're gonna be here within the hour."
"Really?" Tony said in excitement. "I'll get packed!
-Pizzeria-
Tony had gathered up his new laptop, some movies, and a few more books before he pedalled back to the pizzeria. He was now waiting outside patiently while trying to catch his breath.
"You didn't have to push yourself like that." Goldie said.
"Sorry...was...excited." Tony rasped. He sat there for about 15 minutes before a big truck pulled into the parking lot. Tony looked to see a trucker wipe his brow with his wrist before he went to the back of the truck while Mr. Fazbear walked out of the pizzeria.
"Mr. Mekton?" he said in surprise. "I thought you went home."
"I did. Couldn't sleep. Came back." Tony said. Mr. Fazbear raised an eyebrow but shrugged before heading towards the truck.
"Well, since you're here, how about helping load the robots inside?" he asked.
"Sure thing." Tony said as he walked towards the back of the truck before the passenger side door of the truck opened up. Tony looked to see and old man around his sixties stumble his way out of the truck. He was bald with wrinkles on his face and liver spots on his head, thick glasses over his eyes, a lab coat, blue slacks, and brown loafers. Tony shrugged before he moved behind the truck.
"Fazbear?" said the old man. "Fazbear! Where are you?"
"I'm right here." Mr. Fazbear said as he walked towards him.
"Ah, Mr. Fazbear." said the old man as they shook hands. "Glad you're here to see them."
"Well I did pay a good sum of money for their upgrades." Mr. Fazbear said. "One of my employees is behind the truck ready to help."
"One of your pizza chefs?"
"No. The Night Guard." Mr. Fazbear said. The old man's eyes widened for a moment in surprise.
"After working all night, one would think they'd be asleep all day." he said as they both walked to the back of the truck and saw Tony standing there next to the trucker, who was yelling at Tony to get lost.
"I'm not moving from this spot!" Tony said as he crossed his arms and glared at the man.
"Listen Mummy Boy-"
"Now now Frank." said the old man as he and Mr. Fazbear walked behind the truck. "Every hand available is good. Means less work for you, unless you wish to unload them all by yourself." The trucker growled before he poked Tony in the chest.
"Just stay out of my way." he said before he opened the truck and climbed inside.
"Forgive Frank." said the old man. "He takes his job a little too seriously." Tony looked down at the man, who smiled up at him. "Professor Tapor. Isaac Tapor."
"Tony Mekton." Tony greeted as they both shook hands.
"So, you're the new Night Guard?" Isaac asked.
"Yep." Tony said before Frank wheeled a big box down the ramp in the truck.
"Where do I put this...thing?" he asked, unknowingly making Tony's eyebrow twitch.
"Right over here." Mr. Fazbear said as he opened the entrance. Frank wheeled the box towards the door, leaving Tony and Isaac alone.
"So tell me," Isaac said. "How are they behaving? The animatronics, I mean."
"Well, they haven't killed me, though they made it clear that they'd I regret doing something stupid." Tony said.
"And their changes at night?" Isaac asked.
"So that wasn't just a glitch in their programming?" Tony asked.
"Unfortunately, my assistant decided to add his own 'upgrades' to them when my back was turned." Isaac huffed. "Though, considering what it does, I'm sure you're not complaining."
"No." Tony said, earning a chuckle from Isaac. "Still, I was surprised that they could all think for themselves."
"Keep it under your...bandages, but they're just the first step. Imagine self-aware robots everywhere, helping us in ways humans cannot." Isaac whispered.
"Sounds like something out of a sci-fi comic." Tony said.
"And yet in these boxes are 10 examples that Artificial Intelligence is a reality! One that could be used to teach our children, help the elderly, and so much more."
"You've just blown my mind." Tony said as Frank came back for another box.
"Scuse me sir." he said to Isaac. "Move!" he yelled at Tony before he walked into the truck.
"Remember, keep it a secret." Isaac whispered.
"Keep what a secret?" Tony asked before he smiled and stood back so Frank could do his job.
-Nine Deliverys later-
Frank had gotten all 10 boxes off and inside the pizzeria before he sat inside his truck and waited for Professor Tapor.
"I believe you'll love the new upgrades Mr. Fazbear." Isaac said.
"I hope so." Fazbear said. "Also, about their free-will that I asked you about-"
"I'm sorry, but I'm afraid that their free-will is the core of their upgrades." Isaac said. "Without that, they won't move or anything." Mr. Fazbear's eyes showed anger, but he hid it behind a smile.
"Very well then." Fazbear said.
'YES!' Tony thought behind a smile as well before looking down at one of the boxes. "So, where's the crowbar?" Isaac only chuckled at his words.
"That won't be necessary." Isaac said. "They can get themselves out. Observe." He then pulled out a tiny remote and hit the button. Nothing happened at first before the boxes started shifting around a bit.
"Hello?"
"Where is everything?"
"You're still in the boxes." Tony said. The boxes stopped moving, making the three humans look at each other in confusion. Suddenly, the lids flew off the boxes before each of them slowly sat up and looked at Tony.
"Tony!" they all said with smiles. Isaac smiled at them while Tony and Mr. Fazbear looked at them in shock/surprise.
"Meet your upgraded animatronics." Isaac said as the girls stood up for inspection. Mr. Fazbear looked them over and nodded, while Tony froze at them. Each of them had their mechanical joints hidden, making it almost impossible to tell that they were robots. BG looked like an actual human child without the exposed joints on her elbows or the permablush on her cheeks. Maria's face actually had an expression and could smile, frown, blink, etc., even though she still had no eyes and no teeth. Freddi lost a few inches all around, but she was still a bit bulky. Chica had slimmed down as well, though her butt still looked a little big, and hers and TC's beaks lost their mechanical joints as well. And the rest of them slimmed down a little without looking too provocative, as to remind kid friendly. Needless to say, Tony was impressed.
"Who's this?" Maria asked, looking at Isaac.
"The man who upgraded you all." Fazbear said.
"Oooh." they all said before waving. "Thanks for upgrading us."
"You're quite welcome." Isaac said.
"Well their outsides definitely look different." Fazbear said. "What about the insides?"
"They're faster, stronger, smarter, and still have their criminal database to quickly allow them to escort anyone unfavorable out of the restaurant." Isaac said. "Don't worry. Nothing bad will happen, or your money back."
"Excellent." Fazbear said. "And, about what we talked about?"
"She's undergoing final checks, so she's not ready yet." Isaac said. "Well, if everything's to your satisfaction, I'll be going." he said before he left and went out to the truck.
"Another one Mr. Fazbear?" Freddi asked.
"Of course. The more, the merrier." he said before he looked at Tony. "Mr. Mekton. I hate to inconvenience you, but Jeff suddenly called off due to personal matters, so I'm left without a Day Guard."
"Are you saying you want me to do both Day and Night Guard shifts?" Tony asked.
"I know it's sudden, but I've invested a lot of money in this place." he said. "And...I'll pay you triple time until Jeff returns."
"Deal!" Tony said as he shook Mr. Fazbear's hand.
"Excellent. Now I can go home." Mr. Fazbear said. "Well, I leave the pizzeria in your hands until we open tomorrow. Good day." And with that, Mr. Fazbear left again. Tony just stared at the door before looking at the girls.
"Well, I'm getting paid to stay here since Jeff bailed." Everyone was quiet before Tony snickered.
"YAAAHOOOO!"
-With Professor Tapor-
Isaac Tapor was messing with his laptop inside the truck, while Frank was cursing some dumbass for speeding in front of him.
"ASSHOLE!" Frank shouted before glaring at the road. "You sure everything's gonna work Professor? What about that bandaged weirdo?"
"Do not fret." Isaac told him. "He's just one person. He won't be able to stop my plans."
"You sure?" Frank asked. "Was that dumbass Jeff supposed to keep an eye on them during their night phases?"
"He was, until his hormones got the better of him and he caused them to see nothing but hatred towards him." Isaac said. "Fool jumped the gun. Still, I was able to get the info I desired from the Night Guard while you were busy. He says that they're behaving as real people, which is what I wished to know. Plus, seeing as how he and Jeff both are still alive, the programming isn't glitching."
"Still, what if that guy becomes a problem?" Frank asked.
"It won't matter. The next upgrades I'm working on will take care of him." Isaac said. "And if they don't, my latest creation will."
"You mean that thing that you're making based off that walking coffin that Mr. Fazbear paid me to get rid of?" Frank asked.
"Yes." Isaac said before chuckling. "It's actually a good thing we acquired that rotting monstrosity. Thanks to it, my research has taken an amazing leap. Still, despite the success, it seems to wildly hostile, constantly speaking the same name."
-Unknown location-
The sounds of chains and angered mechanical howling filled the air as a horrible creature struggled to break free from it's confines. It howled for a few more moments as it struggled to break free before it stopped, a sound close to heavy breathing through a static filled radio radiating from it's mouth, nothing but pure rage and hatred filling in it's glowing red eyes.
"...Bbbbbbeeennnjjjjjaaaaamiiiiiiiinnn!"
A/N: Hope you like. Sorry if it sounds rushed. Also, the animatronics looked like anthropomorphic animals now. Just saying.
