It was a few hours after they had moved the chairs into the main room and were watching TV. Vixey was still laying against Foxy who had fallen asleep while holding Kimber who was also asleep in her arms. The others were also either watching TV or sleeping, she couldn't blame them seeing that there was nothing eventful happening today aside from it being a holiday. She leaned forward and set Kimber down behind her leg on the sofa, using her leg as a way to block her from crawling or rolling off, and leaned back feeling that Foxy had tensed up behind her. She looked over her shoulder at him seeing his face was a bit scrunched up like he was uncomfortable. His breathing grew deep as she continued looking at him and soon felt that he was insanely hot.
"Foxy," She said tapping the side of his head. "Are you okay?"
"Huh," He asked opening his eyes as she continued looking at him.
"You okay? Need anything to drink or…" She asked as he seemed like he was trying to gather his surroundings.
"No… Just, I need to go walk around for a bit," He replied as he slid from underneath her.
"I can go with you if you want," She offered as he turned around looking at her. "Isn't like anyone's awake in here at the moment aside from them," She added pointing over to Toy Chica, Goldy, and Ava who weren't paying them any mind.
"Sure, why not," He said reaching his hand out to her.
"Alright then," She replied as she grabbed Kimber and gripped his hand as he pulled her up. "Hey, Toy Chica. Would you mind watching her for a little bit as we go walk around," She asked the yellow chicken who was still practically sitting on the light blue rabbit as he was passed out, as she walked over to her.
"Sure," Toy Chica said as she handed her the kit
"Thanks," The arctic fox replied as she began walking off with Foxy down the hall.
They walked halfway down the hall before they spoke again.
"Hey, were you having a bad dream back there," She asked him as he chuckled.
"Nah, I'm just hot," He told her.
"I worry about you sometimes," She sighed as she looked around for anything new in the hallway.
"I told you that you don't need too," He replied, she looked over to the other side of the hallway seeing nothing there also.
"I know, but I can't help but worry about you. You're always up to something," She told him as she saw him lift his eye patch looking around with it. "Do you see anything?"
"Eh, thought I might as well give it a shot," He replied as they reached the end of the hallway.
"Want to walk down to the office," She asked as she saw him look down at the office and focus on something.
"Hmm," He grunted as he began walking ahead of her.
"Hey, wait up," She said as she tried to catch up to him, having to sprint for a second before she got up to him. "What is it you see?"
"Just wait for a second," He replied as they continued walking.
"Is it at least something intriguing," She questioned him as they made it to the office.
He walked over to the right side of the room where nothing was covering the wall and began to grip into the drywall.
"Whoa, what are you doing," She asked in shock as he ripped back uncovering a door.
"This," He grunted as he tore the rest down.
"Wow, I wonder if Lorenzo knew about this," She said as she looked at the door, it was an older metal door that had something originally on it which had come off, it most likely explained what the door led too.
"I don't know, but hand me that book right there," He said pointing to a phone book on the desk.
"Okay," She replied grabbed the hefty book and handed it to him.
He turned the handle and shoved the door a little having the force it open leading to a tight stairwell made from concrete, he jammed the book under the door blocking it as he looked over the edge.
"What do you see," Vixey asked as she stepped into the room.
"It looks like it's dark down there. Power's probably cut," He replied as she looked over herself seeing some water as well.
"Looks like it's more than a power issue," She told him looking over at him.
"Well, would you like to go explore it," He asked with a grin.
"Why not," She replied as they began climbing down the steps into the dark and damp basement.
"Wow, it's fuckin' cold down here,' Foxy said with a chuckle as he stepped onto the flooded floor. "I'm guessing that there are also foundation issues with this."
"You're telling me," She replied as she stepped in with the water reaching her knees.
"This had to have been going on for a while," He told her as he looked around seemingly using his eye as a light source.
"Wish we had Mike's mag-light," She said looking around.
"Wait, do you have night vision," He asked her as she looked at him from behind.
"No, do you," She asked out of curiosity.
"Yeah, I guess it was something to do with the endoskeleton," He chuckled as they continued walking towards a hallway with light gleaming in from small windows at the side, near the roof, shining onto a small hole in the wall.
"Huh, at least we have those," She said pointing towards the windows.
"True," He replied as he got against a door and tried to open it. "Hey, this door's jammed."
"You think I could fit through here," She asked as she crouched beside the small hole that was covered by water.
"I mean, you don't need to if you don't want to. We don't know what's on the other side of this wall and if you go over I might not be able to reach you," He told her as she looked at the hole again.
"I think I'll try it. I should be able to get over there and clear what's blocking the door," She replied with a smile. "Plus, we're going to get soaked down here anyways."
"Alright, but if you get stuck I don't know how I'm getting you out," He chuckled as she climbed through the hole under the water.
She began pulling herself through seeing nothing as darkness engulfed everything in the room. She tried to look for lights but didn't see anything even resembling a light source.
"What do you see in there," Foxy asked from the other side.
"I can't see anything in here," She replied as she could barely see in the room. "Could you go get me a flashlight from the office?"
"Uh, sure. Just stay right there in the meantime," He replied as she heard him walk away.
The vixen stood there in the water silent hoping that there wasn't anything swimming around in the water with her. After a few minutes, she heard Foxy come back.
"Here," He said as he passed the light through the hole to her.
"Thanks," She replied as she grabbed it and cut it on, soon turning around.
She shined the light around the room seeing metal shelves throughout the room, the ones on the left side of the room were collapsed on top of each other blocking the closest way to the door she could see. The room was flooded entirely with boxes floating around in the water and some of the cabinets were broken or bent down like something crawled over them and crushed it. She heard a knock on the wall behind her.
"See anything now," He asked from the other side.
"It's just a flooded storage room. Don't see anything of value either," She replied as she began walking through the water.
She made her way to a fallen shelf and she saw that she could fit through it thankfully, she shuffled past it traveling farther into the room seeing nothing important in the room. The arctic fox got from between the shelves and looked to the right seeing a sink that wasn't covered up by water. She walked over to it and tried to cut it on seeing that it didn't work.
"Well, that sucks," She said to herself with a huff as she turned around seeing that the shelves were arranged weirdly unlike the others and were spanning the entire width of the room.
She walked down looking at one which had cloth going over the top that was torn up, the top shelf itself being dented down as if something crawled over it. She reached up and gripped onto the edge before she pulled herself onto the shockingly thick mat that was thrown over due to nails and sharp materials that were all over the top. She brought her legs over and got into a sitting position on the shelf before throwing herself back into the water looking around seeing that it was a clear shot to the door on the far side of the room. She began moving through the water seeing pieces of suit fragments and endoskeleton parts floating around and rusted up. At this point, it was all useless junk that would have to be thrown away, but it felt weird for Vixey considering that it was meant to be part of an animatronic that was possibly like them. She got to the door and placed her hand on the knob feeling that it was very tight, it didn't want to budge as she tried twisting it. She kept forcing the door until she felt it swing back and knock her down, water flooded the room and made her hit a shelf as he dissipated into the room. She gripped onto the shelf and pulled herself up seeing the water level was no longer at her knees and was reaching her waist.
"What happened in there," Foxy asked banging on the wall.
"I opened a door which was keeping even more water out, it knocked me back a bit," She replied still trying to catch her balance.
She began wading through the water and got through the door seeing that there were windows again to her left, to her right there was a power box with open wiring reaching into the water.
"No wonder the power's out," She grunted as she began wading through to the left, towards the windows.
She heard something move behind her and turned around to see an uncovered endoskeleton walking towards her slowly, like it was extremely rusted, repeating that she wasn't supposed to be in there. She began rushing through the water reaching the end of the hall and looked towards the blocked door that was down the other hall about thirty to forty feet.
"Shit," She shouted as another one grabbed her leg from below the water, she grabbed at its arm and pulled it off before she began rushing down the hallway to try and unblock the door.
Their lines kept repeating from behind her as she saw another sit up in front of her, she got up to it and kicked it down and stomped on its head before continuing to rush down the hall. She cut her leg open on a small piece of metal poking out making her grunt holding the gash, she looked over her shoulder seeing them beginning to catch up with her as she began limping down the hall with her blood staining the water behind her as she reached the door, seeing that a shelf was against it, a metal pipe was lodged in the handle also preventing her from being able to open it. She began pulling the pipe out to no avail as they closed in, halfway down the hallway.
"Fuck," She screamed as one was stuck under the shelf and grabbed her right shin again.
"What's wrong," Foxy shouted from the other side.
"There are fucking murderous robots in here," She shouted as she managed to pull the pipe out and throw it at the other endoskeletons. "Push on the door," She shouted as she pulled the shelf back.
It opened slightly getting caught once again as she saw Foxy pushing the door on the other side. She reached into his pocket, pulling out a knife. The vixen turned over and stabbed the endoskeleton stuck under the shelf on the neck and turned around seeing the others. Foxy pulled the pole that was beside the opening of the door which supported the shelf out and then pushed back breaking all types of stuff which was around the door before he stepped in front of Vixey and switched to his blade.
"Come at me you rusted fucks," He shouted as one grabbed at his arm.
Vixey stabbed its arm and he grabbed its head crushing it against the wall. She stabbed one in the knee as Foxy slit its throat and threw it back knocking the other down, he walked up to it and shot his blade into its face. She leaned against the wall panting as he grabbed the blade and turned around.
"Are you alright," He asked as she began laughing hysterically.
"That was amazing," She said holding herself up by her knees as she was bent over nearly ducking into the water.
"Let's get our asses out of here before more show up," Foxy said wrapping his arm around her shoulder as they made their way out, Vixey began limping so he picked her up and carried her the rest of the way out soaked and soaking everything.
Foxy shut the door so nothing could get out if they tried and he continued walking down the hall with Vixey looking down while twiddling the knife around.
"You know, I wouldn't consider this a knife. It's more like a dagger," She said causing him to gaze down at her with a confused look.
"Why would you say that," he asked.
"Well, it's a very large blade. Most knives I've seen are only about five-six inches long. This is almost ten, reminds me of the machete you would bring out during the summer to cut back the briers," She replied with a small giggle.
"Hmm, fair point. Anyways, we best get that leg checked out because it's pretty rough," He said looking over at her thigh.
She looked down seeing that it was a large gash, probably three inches wide and was deep. The synthetic blood was pouring out of it as he carried her out the hallway into the main room.
"Hey, Goldy, can you help me out real quick," Foxy shouted to the golden bear who looked like he was just beginning to doze off.
"Uh, yeah. What happened," He asked with a yawn as he stood up seeing the two foxes soaking wet with Vixey cut open holding a stained knife. "Okay, what the fuck happened?"
The others woke up to Goldy's shout and looked over with confused looks.
"We found the basement… But it's flooded and filled with insane robots," Foxy replied.
"Sounds about like us wouldn't you think, aside from the flooded part," Freddy said with a chuckle as he stood up and walked off to the kitchen.
"Well, will you help us," Foxy asked as Vixey looked around between them as they spoke.
"Yeah, come on and follow me to the backroom," Goldy replied as he began walking towards the stage.
"Goodness, you weigh over twenty more pounds when wet," Foxy chuckled as he looked down at Vixey.
"You're the one that 'loves' my fur so much," She replied.
"I love you," He told her as he got up to the stage.
"I know you do," She said as he climbed up the stage.
He walked across the stage into the backroom seeing Goldy pulling out some tools and materials once again. He walked over to the table and set her on it and stepped away letting Goldy get up to the table and patch her up.
"I'm going to let you keep that knife," He told her.
"Thanks," She replied turning her head over and looking at him. "Though, if you find a smaller one I would gladly prefer it."
"Alright," He said with a chuckle as he looked down at something below the table most likely.
"Did you see what you cut your leg on down there," Goldy asked as he was fiddling around at her thigh.
"It was some piece of metal that was sticking out of the wall in the water. Didn't get a good glimpse of it," She told him.
"Well, what attacked you guys," The golden bear asked sitting up and looking over at them.
"They were endoskeletons, it was like they were defending something," Foxy said as she looked over, seeing he was looking at Goldy with his arms crossed as he was leaning against the wall.
"Older endoskeletons were sooped-up with security features, they had facial recognition and could scan people's faces looking through a database. Caused a big issue back when I was performing," Goldy chuckled as he turned back towards the table and continued working.
"When did you perform," Vixey asked curiously as she looked down at the bear from the end of the table.
"198-4 I think," He said with a pause. "I don't know, it was a while ago. The only people thought of at the time was probably Foxy, Freddy, and them. That was because they were being made, or, the suit was getting made at least."
"How do you know all this," She asked him.
"I used to teleport into the manager's office at the older location; I would go in and read all the files and relay it back to the others," He replied with a chuckle.
"When were you made," Foxy asked from the other side of the room.
"Oh, I have no idea. We weren't given those menus like you guys, and to be honest, I don't remember anything before when I became 'sentient' I guess you could say… But, yeah, I do remember performing for kids until my endoskeleton got trapped in a truck that went off the side of a road one night. The driver survived from what I heard, but the truck wasn't recovered, thing sunk to the bottom of a pond. The Marionette was able to find me and bring me back like this," He said leaning back from the table and pointing at his body with a chuckle. "I've been helping him out when I can ever since."
"So the Marionette is kind of a guiding factor in all of this," Foxy sighed from behind him as Vixey looked over at him.
"Eh, more of a Valkyrie in my opinion. You and your family had an unfair death, he brought you two back so you could start over. And you," He said turning around and pointing at Foxy, "You went above and beyond to reclaim everything through sheer determination. I think that's why you live through so much. Anyways, he helps who deserves help, but is loyal until the end with who he chose, unlike a Valkyrie who only helps who gets first blood in battle."
"I guess you're right," Foxy chuckled.
"Lift your leg up for a second," He told Vixey who did as told and he began moving it making sure it wasn't broken in any other way. "Okay, I think you're good. Just don't try exerting yourself too much for the next couple days."
"Thanks, Goldy," She replied as she sat up and hung her legs off the table.
"You two might want to go get cleaned up. That water has stained you both to hell," He chuckled as he walked out.
She looked down at her fur seeing the water mixed with synthetic blood staining up her fur and clothes which were also soaked.
"Come on, we'll go get a shower," Foxy said helping her off the table.
"You need to go grab another change of clothes," Vixey told him as she walked out the door with a slight limp.
"Fine," He said from inside the room as she began walking off the stage toward the employees' lounge.
"You alright," Toy Chica asked from the couch.
"Yeah, I just need to go get a shower," She replied as she reached the door and opened it.
She walked inside and continued over to the locker room opening it up and heading over to the shower. She pulled off the shirt and threw it aside before taking off her shorts and throwing them over also, she soon walked into the shower and cut it on feeling the warm water run down her face and back as she started to clean out her fur of any objects or knots. After a while, she stood there letting the warm water run down her back as she sighed. The door opened from behind her and she heard heavy footsteps as she turned around seeing Foxy throw their change of clothes on the bench, she turned back around thinking for a bit.
"I wonder why they thought it was necessary to give us clothes," She asked with a slight laugh as she ran her hands over her face matting down her fur a bit.
"They thought it was the day they thought it was necessary to let us have sex… That still messes with me personally, 'robots having sex?' Who in the right mind thought that was a good idea," He chuckled as she heard him step in behind her. "Kids robots at that."
"Fair," She said as he placed his palm on her shoulder and squeezed it lightly making her moan a bit. "Oh… That feels great..."
"Hmph, I bet," He chuckled as she felt him rest his head on her shoulder and wrap his arms around her waist.
"I'll make that up to you tonight," She giggled reaching for his muzzle as it was across her shoulder making him chuckle a bit.
"Alright," He said with a grin as she turned around facing him. "So, will you help me wash up, now that you've stained my fur again."
"I will," He replied as she turned back around.
She finished washing up with his help after a few minutes and then she helped him clean up finally, learning once again that his fur is incredibly thin in comparison due to the lack of trouble she had cleaning it.
"I swear, I wish I could get your fur and give you mine for a little bit," She said with a slight laugh as he looked over his shoulder at her.
"You know you wouldn't," He replied with a chuckle.
"Maybe you're right, but I still wouldn't mind having it," She told him as she turned around and cut off the water.
"But you do have it, you have me," He said with a chuckle as she turned around seeing he already stepped out and grabbed a towel.
"That isn't what I meant," She said giggling a bit as she began drying off with another towel, soon having to grab a second due to how thick her fur was.
She continued drying off for a few minutes until she heard him waiting by the door for her as she began getting dressed and turned over to see him smiling at her excitedly.
"What are you excited for," She asked as she walked up to him.
"What isn't there to be excited for," He asked wrapping an arm around her waist as he opened the door.
"Well, there's a group of psychotic endoskeletons below us and the foundation of this building is currently being eroded into mud," She replied as she walked out.
"Aside from that," He chuckled as they walked out the employees' lounge.
"We have to figure out a way to keep ourselves sane over the rest of our time here," She added looking over at him as they stopped for a second.
"Okay, you're a mood killer," He said as he turned toward the others and continued walking off.
"Aw, did I hurt your mood," She taunted him as she ran up behind him.
He turned around and scooped her up into his arms before she could do anything, surprising her.
"Wait, let me down," She said before she started laughing as he began kissing her neck.
"I got an idea for tonight," He chuckled as he looked at her.
"What is it," She asked him as he began rubbing his cheek against hers.
"What if I go behind the prize counter and steal the key for the token machine? That way we can goof around in the arcade for a bit," He replied.
"That sounds fun," She said as she leaned her head against his chest.
"Alright, now I need to put you down for a bit," He told her as she climbed out his embrace and watched him walk over to the prize corner.
She looked over at the others who were talking about random stuff on the chairs, she walked over, seeing that Goldy was talking with Ava about what they do usually.
"So, sometimes Foxy and I will spar or we all just sit around watching TV, play cards, anything you could probably think of," Goldy chuckled.
"Hey, Goldy, we need to tell Lorenzo to get a pump so we can try and pump the water out of the basement," She said as she walked up.
"How flooded is it down there," He asked.
"It's up to my waist at least," She replied as she looked over to Ava who looked a little confused.
"What's wrong with the basement," Ava asked her.
"Waterline busted most likely. I couldn't turn on a sink I found down there," She replied. "On top of that, there's no way to cut on the power down there without pumping the water out. We'd most likely have to watch out for some endoskeletons in the meantime because it looks like they used it for storage of various animatronics."
"We have clear it out also, Foxy and you can't fit in there, though. Neither can the others, it's too narrow for you guys to maneuver around in," She told Goldy.
"Why would we need to clear it out if we don't need to go down there," Ava asked causing her to look back over at her.
"Foundation issues. And seeing as we're commonly jumping about around here, especially Foxy, we could fall through," She replied.
"Hmm, I suppose that wouldn't be too bad considering that the endos are rusted up most likely and we only need the pump other than that," Goldy chuckled.
"Would you mind if I go look around down there," Ava asked looking at both of them.
"Me and Foxy are probably going to head back down there tomorrow. You can come then," Vixey told her. "Right now, I think both me and him are going to relax for a little bit."
"Go ahead. Isn't like we're in any rush right now anyways," Goldy chuckled.
"Well, Goldy, what else do you guys do around here," Ava asked as Vixey turned over to Toy Chica seeing her and Toy Bonnie playing with Kimber.
"You guys look like you're having fun," Vixey giggled as she walked over.
"Yeah, she's playful," Toy Bonnie chuckled.
"Thanks for watching her for a little bit. I want to know whether you guys would mind watching her again tomorrow for a bit as me and Foxy go down there and try to explore the basement again," She asked them as she picked up the small kit.
"I don't think that the basement is something we can avoid so I wouldn't mind," Toy Chica said as she looked over to Toy Bonnie who was giving a thumbs-up.
"Alright, thanks," Vixey said as she turned around and started walking towards the prize corner seeing Foxy with a small up filling it up with tokens from the inside of a machine.
"Aw, shit," He said from behind the counter ducking down to grab something as she walked up.
"What did I tell you," She said before she looked over the counter seeing him accidentally drop an entire buckets worth of tokens on the floor causing it to sound like glass was shattering around the pizzeria.
"Shit," He shouted as he looked up at her.
"What did you do," She asked looking at the ocean of tokens surrounding him on the floor.
"I may have messed up," He chuckled as he picked up a small bucket and placed it into the machine again before he began scooping up tokens in the small cup and dumping them back in.
Freddy and Bonnie appeared from around the corner looking at Vixey as she stepped back and looked at them.
"What happened," Freddy asked as Foxy stood up a bit and leaned out from the counter.
"If Lorenzo asks about the token machine being broken or asks about why there are so many tokens on the floor; I was never back here," He told them causing Bonnie to chuckle.
"You broke the machine," Freddy questioned him.
"No, I just borrowed some tokens," He told him from behind the counter as Vixey dropped her face into her hand.
"I have no idea what I'm going to do with you," She told Foxy.
"I can think of a few things," He said as he shut the front plate of the machine with a grin.
"Mhm, and what's that," She said as Kimber turned around to see the red vulpine.
"Hmm, I can't really say right now," He chuckled as he rubbed the kits head.
"That's what I thought. Best close your mouth for a bit," She said with a smirk as he walked over to one of the arcade machines.
"I'll be…" Foxy chuckled cutting himself off as he walked up to one of them. "They have Tetris still?"
"Jeez, I don't even remember the last time I played that," Vixey said with a smile as she walked over and pulled up a stool.
They played the arcade machines for a while taking turns after they lost, soon Freddy walked over and asked them if they wanted to play Monopoly before Vixey told him no. After an hour or two of playing they walked back and handed the rest of the tokens to Toy Bonnie and Toy Chica letting them go play around for a bit as they sat down with the others playing Monopoly for the remainder of the day.
