"Vixey, wake up," She heard a familiar voice say as she felt an arm move from around her shoulders.
She opened her eyes seeing she was sitting at the table with the others and that Lorenzo had just walked in, Foxy was waking her up from beside her, she looked down at her arms seeing the blackish liquid was encrusted in her fur causing it to knot together.
"I guess I should've realized that would've dried up," She said with a slight laugh as she leaned forward wiping her eyes.
"Jeez, you look like hammered shit," Lorenzo said before she opened her eyes seeing the disabled man chuckled as he looked at Foxy.
"Did you bring the pump," Foxy asked him as Lorenzo pulled up a large box from his side.
"Yeah, you two ready to set it up down there," He asked as she got up and stretched.
"I'm ready… Hey, Vix, you got a hole in your shirt," Foxy said as she turned around seeing him stare at her back.
"It's fine," She sighed feeling the back of her shirt noticing that it was around her upper back.
"So, how bad is it down there," Lorenzo asked them.
"It's up to my thigh," Foxy told him as he placed his hand at about halfway up his thigh.
"Jeez, how did it get like that," He asked to no one in particular as he started rolling towards the hall.
Vixey looked over at the clock seeing it was 8:51 AM, soon looking over at Ava who was watching TV before getting her attention.
"Ava, we're heading down there," She called to the coyote who promptly stood up and started following them as they walked down the hallway.
"Hey, Lorenzo, I'm not sure if you'll be able to get down there," Foxy told him as they got to the end of the hallway.
"No access for the handicapped," He asked with a chuckle.
"Yeah, plus it is flooded," Foxy replied as they started going towards the office.
"I mean, the endos are a challenge also," Vixey said as she got beside Foxy.
"Endoskeletons are down there? You didn't tell me about that," Lorenzo said with a shocked expression.
"Well, they aren't really salvageable," Vixey told him as they got to the office.
"Huh," Lorenzo huffed as he saw the door wide open. "I had no idea that was even there."
"All we need to do is get two of those little things they have for elderly that they mount against the wall on stairs," Foxy chuckled as he stepped into the small stairwell.
"Fuck you," Lorenzo replied as he looked over the rail.
Vixey and Ava stepped down the stairs to the little platform below them and looked out into the basement seeing the daylight shine into the room.
"It really is flooded down here," Ava said to herself as Vixey looked back at her.
"Yeah, we weren't lying," She replied as she looked back out into the room and stepped into the water.
She waded towards the window before noticing that Ava didn't step in behind her, she turned around seeing her waiting on the dry platform.
"You coming," She asked the coyote from the middle of the room.
"Wouldn't I rust from getting in," She asked pointing at the exposed metallic pieces on her body.
"I didn't think about that," Vixey said as she thought for a minute. "Maybe we can get a specialized suit for you at some point like ours," She said as she pulled at the rubber material that was wrapped around her body.
"I got an idea," She replied as she grabbed onto a metal bar on the roof and pulled herself up, dragging herself from along the roof only being seen due to the red shirt.
"Or that," Vixey said as she turned back towards the window.
"Where did Ava go," Foxy asked from the stairs as he got in.
"Up there," Vixey replied as she pointing towards the roof.
"Huh, okay then," He chuckled as the coyote waved at him from the roof. "Anyways, we'll need to figure out how to get this pump going."
"Maybe we could open this window and dump it out through there," She asked.
"Nah, we need to get it in a drain up by the road that way," He told her pointing to the right side of the room where the only way that way was through the endo filled hellscape.
"Well, that isn't good," She sighed as she looked around the room.
"What's so bad about that," Ava asked.
"That means we're going to have to deal with more of those endos if there are any left," Vixey told her.
"Well, I'm sorry to say this but I will wait by the other guy. These pipes and bars aren't too sturdy," She replied crawling back towards the platform.
"It's alright," Foxy told her as they waded towards the door once again.
Foxy walked in first and Vixey stepped in noticing that the endo from under the shelf was missing. She continued following Foxy down the flooded hallway for a few minutes until they got to the shelf, the red vulpine crouched down and crawled through and she could see light coming in from the other side of the collapsed shelf and lockers that blocked the hallway ahead. She crawled through the shelf and followed him into the room to the left where they got attacked earlier seeing pieces of endos floating around the room beaten to bits. She looked at Foxy wondering if he was the one that did that earlier, noticing him quickly wading to the room they found Mike in. She followed him seeing a more bulky endoskeleton unactivated in the corner. She looked around the room seeing it relatively empty when compared to the other rooms and saw only a few shelves around the room, all pushed against the wall and a table in the center with boxes on it. She stayed close to Foxy as they got to the far side of the room.
"Hey, Vixey. Climb up onto the shelf there and open that window when nobody is nearby," Foxy told her pointing to a shelf underneath a window.
"Alright, she replied as she climbed the shelf and looked out the window for a few minutes before pushing it open. "It's open."
"Good, would you mind going back and telling Lorenzo to send Mike out with the pump," He asked her as she hopped down.
"Sure thing," She replied as she walked up and kissed him on the cheek before walking out the room leaving him alone.
She continued through the next room avoiding the fallen shelf and noticing that there was a lot more stuff floating around in the room. She continued through to the hallway felt something watching her from behind the collapsed locked and turned around before looking through the crack seeing nothing through the room that neighbored the one Foxy was currently standing in. She stepped away from the lockers, waded over to the shelf, and crawled through the shelf before continuing her trek back to the stairs. She walked to the door and looked through seeing Ava waiting for them on the step.
"Hey, can you tell Lorenzo to send Mike out front with the pump," She shouted to the coyote who nodded before getting up and climbing up the stairs.
She turned around hearing stuff fall from the other room. She began rushing back to him calling his name as she heard him wrestling with something. She got into the room with the collapsed shelf and saw Foxy get sent through the wall by something causing some of the cinder blocks to fall as he raised his arm at the endoskeleton stepping through and shooting it in the shoulder as it shouted.
"Vixey, trade," He shouted holding up a knife.
She nodded as she tossed him the knife he handed her that morning and he tossed her the spent one, he loaded the unfired blade in his wrist and aimed at the endoskeletons left knee making it dropdown. She ran over to him and helped him up as it yanked the blade out its knee and threw it to the side before it stood up. Foxy ran at it after loading a spent knife and it grabbed at his hand, he stabbed through its palm and punched it in the jaw, it repaid in kind by shoving him back a bit. Vixey ran up behind it and jumped on its back slicing down as it shrieked in pain. She watched Foxy slice its gut open, causing it to leak out anything that was inside the sack to the floor. She pulled the blade out its back and stabbed at its neck as it grabbed her and pulled her over before throwing her into a shelf causing her to fall into the water, something crawled through the water at her and tried to hold her under as she began slicing at it every which way. She broke free of the creature's grasp and stood up seeing the endoskeleton rip Foxy's eye patch off and shoving him back. Foxy switched to his fist and socked the endoskeleton in the jaw throwing it back into the other room and he dove over at it before she heard the thing shriek after the shadow on the wall showed Foxy ripping the thing apart with a ferocity she hadn't seen out of him before as the arm of the endoskeleton was thrown out the room leaking the blackish liquid into the water as he stepped out panting. The thing was wrapped around her leg and the head popped out showing the thing that jumped onto Foxy earlier, she sliced at its head several times as Foxy made his way over and pulled it off her and ripped its head off before throwing it into the water, causing her to drop down a bit in shock.
"Are you alright," He asked her as she remained speechless, the red haze from his eye shining onto her.
He dropped crouched beside her and brought her into a hug as he placed his palm at the back of her head petting her.
"Hey, are you two down there," She heard Mike shout from the window.
They got up and walked over to the window, seeing Mike staring at them.
"Jeez, you two look messed up," Mike chuckled as he tossed the hose down to them.
"Just get the pump running," Foxy replied groaning a bit as he rubbed the back of his shoulder.
"Let's get back upstairs," Vixey said as she rubbed his back for him.
"Alright," He replied as they started making their way back up.
After a few minutes, they had gotten back to the stairs; Foxy took the liberty of knocking down the shelf that blocked the way on their walk-up. The two vulpines climbed up the stairs exhausted, especially Foxy, after having to fight that bulked up endoskeleton.
"Lorenzo, mind if we go get a shower," Foxy asked with a sigh as he stepped up the final stair with Vixey right beside him.
"I mean, it's you all that live here. Why not," He asked with a chuckle as he rolled out the room ahead of them.
"Heh, you have a good point," Foxy replied as they started walking down the hallway.
"We could probably pull out the sofa again and lay on it," Vixey suggested with a smile as they got to the end of the hall and started towards the main room.
"We could do that," He replied as he leaned over and wrapped his arm around her waist.
She leaned on him as they continued walking down the hall slowly, not worrying about having to mop the floor after walking over it so many times soaking wet. They looked out into the main room seeing Mike sitting down at the table.
"Did you guys have to knock a hole in the wall," He asked referencing the hole that was made when Foxy got thrown.
"Wait what," Lorenzo asked.
"Endo attacked us," Foxy sighed as he continued toward the lounge.
"I'll grab us a change of clothes," Vixey said as she walked toward the cove.
She walked through the cove to the bedroom and opened the door seeing Toy Chica asleep in the chair at her desk, facing the crib. She smiled a little bit as she walked through the room silently and opened the wardrobe grabbing clothes for both her and Foxy as well as an eye patch before she turned towards the crib looking at Kimber who was passed out still. She leaned over the rail, kissing the kit on the forehead before exiting the room, and silently closing the door behind her. The arctic fox walked out the cove, she looked over at the others who were all at the table doing random stuff like playing Monopoly or watching TV. She walked by soon noticing that the endoskeleton had ripped the top of her shirt when he threw her, exposing the entire top part of her back and also ripping the bra she wore under the shirt causing her to feel a bit mad as she walked into the lounge. Vixey heard Foxy in the shower and walked in, she set the clothes on the bench and pulled off what was left of her shirt and bra, soon taking her pants off before getting into the shower with him.
"This is relaxing," Foxy chuckled as she walked up behind him.
"I bet," She replied as she wrapped her arms around his torso hugging him.
"I'm thinking about getting the key to the roof from Lorenzo, we could go look at the city," Foxy told her as he turned around facing her.
"Maybe," She said softly as she leaned against his chest. "Poor, Foxy," She cooed softly as she started looking at his torso seeing where he had gotten stabbed earlier and where patches of fur hadn't grown back in yet after healing.
The most prominent injury was the stab in his right side, the newest was the one on his left where the endo hooked him, the synthetic blood had stained the fur around and under the gash. She felt over his right shoulder hearing it crack as he stretched them, soon she saw his left eye; looking into the red haze as it gazed back down at her.
"How did you survive so long as a person," She asked with a giggled as she looked back down, staring at or remembering the several cuts and injuries he attained in the past couple months.
"Same way I am now, I have you," He chuckled as he leaned down and kissed her forehead.
"Such a charmer," She giggled as she began cleaning her fur.
She felt the water practically melt away the dried up synthetic blood in her fur as she cleaned herself, after a while of scrubbing away and dealing with Foxy messing with her she managed to finish up and they stepped out to dry off.
"That thing got me good," Foxy chuckled as he rubbed his shoulder.
"I'm astounded he managed to throw you," Vixey replied as she dried herself.
"There was something different about that endo… Seemed familiar," Foxy said as he got dressed.
"Considering that you were face to face with it; I'm not shocked," She told him with a sigh.
He didn't respond for a few seconds, so she turned around seeing him waiting by the door in thought.
"Foxy, what are you thinking about this time," She asked him as she walked up and he snapped out of it.
"I need to ask Lorenzo about something," He said as he opened up the door.
"Alright," She said walking out with him. "What are you going to ask him about?"
"I'm going to ask him about the keys to the roof, and whether there were other prototypes," He told her as they exited the lounge.
"You think that the thing down there was another prototype," She asked, stopping him just out the doorway.
"Well, we were eye-to-eye. Another thing is he wasn't weak either, he could fight me," He replied as he looked down at her.
"Well, let's hope you're wrong," She sighed as she turned around and walked towards the others.
"So Mike, how did you enjoy your Christmas," Freddy asked the night guard who was sitting on the opposite side of the table.
"Considering I could've spent my night with my girlfriend and cuddled with her all night, but instead I came here to freeze my balls off and work… Pretty alright I guess," Mike chuckled.
"Sounds like nights in Afghanistan," Lorenzo replied as he took a sip from his drink.
"Yeah, those were fun," Foxy chuckled as he sat down beside Freddy with Vixey sitting beside him.
"See you two cleaned up," Mike said as he leaned back in the chair.
"Isn't fun being covered in water and oil for hours during the middle of freezing weather," Vixey said as she snuggled up under the red vulpines arm.
"I just realized, the water down there wasn't frozen," Foxy said with a shocked expression.
"Huh, didn't notice that," Vixey replied. "Maybe the endos managed to keep it broken whenever it froze?"
"I have no idea," Foxy told her.
"So we've been having the riots downtown," Lorenzo said as he looked over at Mike.
"What about it," Mike asked.
"I need you to actually watch this place for the upcoming week, bring your handgun if you have too," Lorenzo told him.
"Isn't Foxy fitted out for security purposes," Mike asked.
"Corporate isn't too keen on animatronics guarding establishments after their last affair with the other models," Lorenzo replied.
"Isn't that why you brought him out," Mike questioned the disabled man.
"Yeah… But I also did it for this," Lorenzo chuckled as he pulled out his phone and leaned over beside the guard showing him something.
"That can't be the same Foxy," Mike chuckled as Foxy stood up to see what Lorenzo was showing him.
"You recorded that whole thing," Foxy shouted as Mike busted out in laughter.
"I got to see this," Freddy said as he walked over also with Vixey following them over to the other side of the table to watch Foxy's first performance.
"Lorenzo, I will get you back over this," Foxy chuckled as the video showed him jumping off the fake ship with the sword and breaking it.
"And I'll record more of your shows," Lorenzo responded as everyone got back to their seats.
"Whatever," Foxy said as Vixey snuggled back up underneath his arm.
"So, how long do you think it will it take to pump that basement," Freddy asked them.
"I don't even want to know," Foxy groaned as he leaned his head back. "Oh, Lorenzo, would you mind lending us the key to the roof so we can look around up there tonight?"
"Why would you need to look around up there," He asked him with a confused expression.
"Well, we could look at the riots and make sure nobody gets close," Foxy replied.
"I'd assume Mike could do that. He has a key for the roof anyways," Lorenzo told him.
"I wish I knew that earlier," Foxy grunted as Freddy began chuckling.
"Yeah, you wouldn't have had to break the hatch," Lorenzo replied.
"Don't remind me of that," Foxy told him.
"Okay, I'm going to leave you guys here for the day. I need to run by the store before the riots start up again," Lorenzo chuckled as he began wheeling himself out the room.
"Where did the others go," Vixey asked looking around seeing Bonnie and Toy Bonnie on stage and Chica at the front.
"Toy Freddy is passed out in his room, Ava and Toy Chica are just missing I think," Freddy told her.
"Toy Chica was passed out in our room last I checked," Vixey responded before looking around.
She didn't see Ava anywhere as she looked but soon heard the kitchen door open behind them.
"There she is," Mike told them as they turned around seeing Ava walk out the kitchen.
"What are you doing," Freddy yelled over to her as she looked over at them.
"I was grabbing something to eat," She replied as she walked over to the table and sat down beside Mike.
"I forgot to ask Lorenzo about the endos," Foxy said to himself with a sigh.
"You can ask him later," Vixey told him as they sat there quietly as the rabbits played their guitars on the stage. "I am going to go tell Toy Chica she can go lay down in her room," The arctic fox said as she got up from her seat.
"Okay, come get me if you need me," Foxy told her as she walked over to the cove.
She walked into the cove looking around as she made her way through the room, after a few seconds she heard the door shut and she felt something impale her stomach causing her to fall, face down and breathless, she tried looking around but couldn't see anything. She felt something grab her her shoulder and roll her over, she saw another metallic animatronic and screamed for Foxy as the thing grabbed her left wrist pinning it. She reached down with her right hand and pulled out a knife from its belt before slicing its gut open and getting out from under it as it shouted in pain. She crawled to her feet, stumbling slowly towards the bedroom door as she heard it stand up behind her and walk towards her. She saw Toy Chica open up the door and she started sprinting as fast as she could with the synthetic blood pouring out her stomach as she felt the thing grip the end of the blade and rip it out her back. The thing gripped her shoulder, pulling her back before she reached the door, throwing her to the other side of the room, causing her to hit the door, and fall to the floor whimpering as it began walking towards her.
"Please," She whimpered as she heard Foxy try and open the door and it got beside her, pulling the blade back only to stab it forward at her again.
