I don't own any of this Paranorman belongs to Laika and Five Nights at Freddy's belongs to Scott Cawthon
Norman remained quiet the best he can as he hid behind a game cabinet in the arcade. From here he had heard his friends as well as something else running, he really hoped that both Neil and Salma got away from whoever was chasing them, he didn't want any of them to end up like Alvin, who's mangled up body is deeply planted in his brain.
He could still see his mangled up face each time he blinked, he could only imagine what he and the others were going to look like if they get caught, he started to believe that they wouldn't get out of here alive.
Just then heavy footsteps filled the room causing Norman to go stiff. Norman remained as quiet as possible, not daring to make a sound to give his position away. The footsteps sounded like they headed for the end of the room, they then stopped and everything went silent, but Norman knew that whoever it was, was still there. The footsteps started again, but they were more slower in a stalking way.
They got closer to where he is hiding, before they then stopped in a dead silence, suddenly the space between the cabinet he is hiding behind and other one lit up in a red light. The red light moved from side to side trying to look behind the cabinets, Norman didn't move an inch, sweat went down his fear written face. The light then turned off which was shortly followed by fading footsteps.
Norman allowed himself to let out a breath of relief as he relaxed his body. Slowly Norman peeked out from in between the cabinets; the room is silent, dark, and lonely. Suddenly Foxy jumped out from the side of the cabinet Norman is hiding behind; before Norman could even scream Foxy lunged forward, his hook lounged into Norman's poked out left shoulder. Norman screamed in pain as his own blood leaked out, Foxy pulled him out of from behind the cabinet, Foxy lifted him into the air just above his head; his hook sagged deeper into the flesh.
Through the immense pain Norman can only looked down at the pirate fox; who had his mouth open and his eye patch flipped up. Norman struggled to get out of his grip, "Let me go!" He desperately pleaded.
"You'll never leave! I'm going to make you suffer!"
Norman looked at him in surprise, as he didn't expect to get a response. His surprise quickly subverted though as Foxy moved him towards the mouth; getting ready to bite his head in. In complete panic Norman kicked at Foxy's chest with no effect what's so ever, his head is just in the mouth; Foxy got ready to close his mouth when a loud voice spoke.
"Get your hands off him!"
Both Norman and Foxy snapped their attention to the entrance of the arcade. Aggie floated there with her hands clenched, her eyes glowed yellow, and her face distorted into complete anger; above her head electricity crackled.
"I said get your hands off my friend." She commanded with a low threatening voice.
With a swing of his arm Foxy threw Norman away; Norman flew and hit the side of another arcade cabinet which moved a bit before Norman fell to the floor while grunting in pain. Aggie looked at her friend in great concern, she turned to Foxy with great anger, "Your going to regret doing that."
Foxy stood there with his bloody hook in front of his chest, he looked at her as if astonished by her appearance, then he took a step towards Aggie causing her to shoot a bolt of electricity at him. Foxy flew back, crashing in front of the arcade cabinets, he fell on his bottom, he leaned down with his eyes going dark, he went motionless and had no life in him what's so ever.
With that threat gone Aggie turned her attention to her friend who slowly sat himself up, blood flowed down his arm, she went over to him and got on her knees as her face switched from anger to concern. "Are you alright Norman?"
With a painful grunt Norman turned to her with a small smile, exposing his bruised cheek. "Yeah, I think so."
She gently, but hesitantly hovered her hand above the wound on Norman's shoulder. "You sure? That wound looks really deep and your cheek bruised."
"Well to be honest my arm does hurt pretty bad, but it should be fine once I get a bandage around it, as for the cheek, I think I just need some ice." Norman went silent for a bit as the pain surged through his arm, he really hoped that it wasn't going to become infected. "Thanks for the save Aggie."
Aggie smiled. "I couldn't let that fox thing hurt my friend."
"I'm grateful for that Aggie really, but how did you get here?"
"Oh, well first I came to your room to ask you something, but when you weren't there or anywhere in your house, I went out through the town in search on your whereabouts and that's how I ended up in this weird building." Aggie glances over to the slumped over Foxy. "I'm guessing he's one of those anima-anima."
"Animatronic." Norman finished.
Aggie nodded, "Yeah animatronic. And I must say those things aren't nice."
Norman nodded in agreement. "Yeah these ones are different than ones I know of."
Aggie turned to him with question. "What do you mean?"
"The ones I know, like the ones in Disney World are meant to entertain people, while these ones did that when this place was open, they are aggressive and like to kill people. I just saw what they did to Alvin."
"You mean that boy who used to pick on you, but then became friends with?"
Norman nodded, his expression turned very grim. "I found him mangled up inside one of those suits in the backroom."
Aggie gasped in horror, "That's horrible!"
Norman nodded in agreement, Aggie looked back at Foxy with a new expression of horror; to think that if she didn't show up in time, her best friend would be joining her in the afterlife, and this was just one of them.
She turned to Norman in great concern. "You need to get out of here."
"I agree Aggie, but first I need to find Neil and Salma." Norman slowly got to his feet with Aggie by his side, "I can't leave them behind."
"I'll help you find them."
Norman smiled in gratitude. "Thanks Aggie, that will help me a lot." Together they headed for the exit of the arcade with Aggie following behind Norman; making sure he wouldn't fall over. Aggie then stopped and looked back at Foxy, she wanted to make sure that he wouldn't attack them or more likely Norman and his other friends.
He remain motionless with his eyes looking at the floor. Feeling that he wasn't going to be a threat Aggie turned to leave when her ears picked up something, that seemingly came from the animatronic. It could be her imagination but she swore she heard crying, child like crying. The area suddenly got cold, she felt a figure bumped passed her shoulder.
The figure approached Foxy slowly, from what Aggie saw, it is a thin figure with white stripes on its arms and legs, all back with three buttons on its chest, and had a puppet mask on. The Puppet gets on its knees, putting a comforting hand on the thing that was going to kill her best friend.
A girl's voice came out of the Puppet. "It's ok, your safe little one."
Aggie's eyebrow rose up, little one? What did she mean by little one? The Puppet suddenly turned to face her with what looked to be anger on that mask. "You!"
In a blink of an eye the Puppet is in front of her shaking in furry, as it had it's face close to hers, the Puppet grabbed Aggie's head with both hands. The room glitches around them, all the now terrified Aggie could do is look into the angry eyes of the Puppet until everything went white.
Norman walked down the east hallway very slowly, he had went through the dinning area very aware of his surroundings so he wouldn't be ambush by the other three. So far he hadn't come across any of them, but he wasn't going to lower his guard for a second.
Stopping next to some posters, Norman glances down to his bloody arm which by now the blood had stopped flowing, but to say that it hurt is a understatement as he couldn't even move it an inch before it burned like it was on fire. Looking back he noticed that Aggie was gone, she must've went in another direction to get a better range around the building, that's what he hope she is doing.
She may be a ghost and wouldn't be stuffed in a suit, but who knew what those things would do to her if they catch her. Thinking of that made him worry for her, he turned around to look for her when he heard a strange sound behind him. Looking back he saw much to his terror a black rabbit, looking figure, with white teeth and eyes floating above the floor.
Norman only blinked for a split second when it suddenly got up to his face and screeched, everything went black.
Aggie found herself in a white void, she looked around terrified as all she could see is nothing but white for all the eye could see. "Where am I?"
That same girl's voice called out behind her. "Your in the void where we inhabit, when we aren't active in are metallic prisons."
Turning around Aggie saw a girl younger than her, with black hair, with the puppet mask covering her face. "Why am I here?" Aggie asked in fear.
The girl spoke in a angry calm voice. "To keep you away from the others. You already hurt one, I can't allow you to hurt the others."
Aggie immediately got defensive, eyes flashing dangerously yellow. "That thing almost killed my best friend!"
The girl leaned her body forward with her eyes flashing white. "He and the others are trespassers here that want to disturb are peace of solitude, and we don't like trespassers!"
"Why?"
"Because newcomers will hurt us, like how he hurted us those years ago."
"My friend would never hurt you." Aggie cried out defensively.
The girl coldly points at her, "You hurt one of the children, and I will not allow that as they are under my protection."
Now Aggie looked at her in question, not understanding what she meant. "Children?"
"Yes children."
"You mean that fox thing is a child?"
The girl responded in a nod.
Aggie shook her head in disbelief, "No, that can't be true."
"You want proof?"
"Yes please."
"Follow me then." The girl then lead Aggie through the void, she had not much of a choice as it was either follow her or stay in this void all alone. Following close behind the girl Aggie noticed a few details; the girl is wearing a pink shirt and black pants, on her right wrist Aggie noticed a green thing wrapped around it.
Norman's body stirred as he regain consciousness, his head felt like it was spinning, his eyes slowly opened up. Sitting up Norman groggy looked at himself; he noticed that his arm isn't red with blood or hadn't have a wound, his cheek also felt better. Norman then looked around his surroundings; he is in the dinning room when the place was open, except unlike the previous times he was here, there is no one here.
Norman gets to his feet, he's standing in front of the stage with the curtain closed, Norman looked at it nervously, then he caught sight of something yellow in the corner of his eyes. It was the yellow rabbit, it stood in front of the arch leading to the restrooms with its arms crossed.
The rabbit gave him a friendly wave much to Norman's shock as that meant it could see him. The rabbit gives him a come here gesture, against his will Norman's body walked over to him, the rabbit motions him to follow which he did, he followed him into a extra room at the end of the restroom area.
The room is small filled with extra storage with three arcade cabinets being the most visible. Norman felt afraid upon being in this room he had no idea existed, he turned back to the rabbit and all the color left his face as in the rabbit's hand is a sharp knife.
The rabbit grabbed Norman by the neck making him choke out, the rabbit lean down with it's mouth open revealing a sinister human smile, he felt tremendous pain as the knife stabbed deep into his stomach. Everything went dark with the last thing he saw were those eyes, it remained dark for a long time until at last he regain his vision. From what he saw were through eyeholes, it was the red curtain covered in colorful spotlights.
"Ladies and gentlemen! Boys and girls! Fazbear Entertainment is proud to present the one and only Freddy Fazbear!" The curtain parts revealing the yellow rabbit dancing in front of him as music played. Next to him he heard Chica's voice, "It's time to eat some pizza!" Cries of despair called out from Chica.
Bonnie then spoke, "I'm ready to rock." ("Get me out!")
Freddy's voice then came out of the thing Norman's in, "It's always a fun time here at Freddy Fazbear's Pizza?"
It was this moment that Norman finally understood. Those kids that rabbit had taken and killed, their spirits were in the animatronics, trapped inside, and they were angry. He never heard of spirits being able to do this before, he didn't know why their spirits were in the animatronics, but maybe he could help them like how he helped Aggie.
Aggie began to hear the sound of children crying as she continued to follow the girl wearing the Puppet mask. Soon she caught sight of figures through the void, getting closer the figures revealed themselves to be five children wearing masks of the mascots with visible tear marks running down their cheeks, all of them were visibility crying and upon seeing that made Aggie sympathetic as they reminded her of her past.
"Who are they?" Aggie asked quietly.
"These are the murdered children."
Aggie could feel her eyes widen in surprise; these were the spirits of the kids who's lives were taken so cruelly away from a monster that Norman's grandma had talked about.
"As you can see they are crying from the pain, and the grief of not seeing their loved ones again. I save them by giving them new life, giving them a chance to get revenge on the man who killed all of us."
Aggie looked at them, all of them weren't looking up at them. "What are their names?"
The girl pointed to the boy in the Freddy mask, "That's Gabriel." Points to another boy in the Bonnie mask, "That's Jeremy." Points to a girl in a Chica mask, "Susie." Points to another boy in a Foxy mask, "Fritz" And finally points over to a girl in a Golden Freddy mask, "And that's Cassidy, she's unique as she shares her body with another child named Chris."
"And their here because you gave them live?"
"Yes, I must protect them like how my daddy protected me."
"Can't you rest?"
The girl shook her head no, "We are bound to are bodies, and we won't rest until we get our revenge." The two went silent as they watched the crying children, Aggie eventually spoke up again. "I was also a vengeful spirit once."
The girl spoke while not looking at her. "Were you?"
Aggie nodded, "I put a curse on the people who killed me 300 years ago. I made them come back as the living dead to have them be treated like how I was treated, but my friend had taught me to let things go and that there is always someone out there for you."
The girl swiftly turned to Aggie so viciously that it made her lean back in surprise. "We will not let this go! The man who killed us is evil, he felt no remorse for what he did, he tricked them and made them miss their loved ones, worse he betrayed my father!"
Feeling intimidated by her angry eyes; Aggie nervously asked. "How did he betray your father?"
The girl looked at the ground in silence for a moment before speaking in a low voice. "He was my daddy's business partner, he helped create Fredbear's, but then betrayed him by taking his dream and turned it into a nightmare. You see one rainy night a group of kids had locked me out of the restaurant, he came up behind me and did the horrible deed, he dumped me in the back alley where my spirit eventually possessed this Puppet body."
"That's really sad." Aggie piped up.
The girl coldly turned away from her. Aggie nervously twiddle her fingers in front of her as she thought of something to say. "I know you all had a tragic past, believe me I had one myself. But you don't need to kill my friends, they won't hurt any of you. I promise you that."
The girl kept her back to Aggie with no response, leaving the only noise coming from the crying children.
Norman stirred against the wall as he woke up, regaining feeling he immediately felt the pain from his arm, he gave it a glance before looking up and jumped. All of the animatronics stood on both sides: Freddy and Bonnie stood on his right, while Chica and Foxy stood on his left. They all had red eyes, they then approached him, they lean down to grab him.
Norman spread his arms out wincing in pain for a bit. "Wait don't do it!"
"We got him now!" A voice called out from Bonnie.
"No don't! I saw what happened to you with that yellow rabbit!"
They instantly stopped, they turn looking at each other.
"How does he know about our past?" A voice called from Chica.
"I saw what happened with visions." Norman nervously answer, they look back to him. "He could hear us?" The voice in Freddy stated.
"Yes, I can speak to the dead. Listen like I said I know about your past, and it's horrible how that person killed you, but listen you don't need to kill me or any more of my friends."
Foxy leaned in with his hook close to his face. "Your a trespasser! And we hate trespassers!" Norman gulped from the close proxidity of the sharp hook that's stained with his own blood. He found the courage to speak, "We mean you no harm, honestly. Just let us leave and will leave this place forever."
Foxy thrusts his hook closer, "I don't believe you."
"You can trust me! I promise we'll leave you alone."
Foxy wasn't having it, he thrust forward to gouge his eye out. "DIE!"
He was however stopped as Freddy grabbed his arm, Foxy turned to him in anger. "What are you doing!"
"Calm down Fritz." Freddy turned to Norman. "You promise you'll leave us alone?"
Norman nodded quickly. Freddy looked at him for a minute before looking to his friends. "Back to our stages guys."
Foxy turned to argue, but a warning stare from Freddy shut him up, Foxy grumbled off as he and the others return to their stages leaving Norman sitting against the wall, letting out a breath of relief.
With the danger gone Norman slowly got up, slowly Norman walked towards the kitchen; he didn't know why he just had this feeling that his friends were there. Unknown to him a figure stood in the archway at the entrance area.
Norman walked towards the freezer with many thoughts going through him; he is glad that he and his friends were finally going to get out of here. But he also felt terrible as he wasn't going to be able to help those poor kids be free from their metallic prisons, no one disserved to be trapped inside of those things. He wished he could help them, but he didn't know how he could.
He got to the freezer door, with a pull he opened the door revealing Salma and Neil who were sitting on the floor, Neil looked up and released a big smile. "Norman I knew you would come to get us out of here!"
Salma noticed Norman's bloody shoulder, she looked at him in great concern. "Oh my gosh, Norman your arm!"
Norman looked down at his arm with a cringe. "Yeah, Foxy got me pretty good."
Neil didn't know if he should touch it. "Are you okay?"
"Not really, it hurts badly."
"That looks bad, we need to get it bandage up and see a doctor as that looks like it could be infected." Salma stated.
"Yeah, let's get out of here." Norman agreed, Neil took a glance behind Norman, he jumped in alarm at something. "Norman look out!"
A hand forcefully pushed Norman into the freezer, shortly afterwards the door slammed shut, Neil and Salma helped Norman up.
"What just happened?" Neil asked in panic.
"Someone locked us in here!" Salma replied in panic.
Neil quickly ran and banged his hands against the door. "Let us out! Please! Someone!"
Freddy, Bonnie, and Chica stood motionless on their stage, the room is silent except for the sound of heavy rain hitting the roof along with the sound of thunder. Freddy's eyes lit up, he looked around as he felt something, looking in front of him he saw a purple version of himself.
"Follow me."
Freddy stared at him, the shadow Freddy walked towards the restroom area. "Follow me."
Freddy walked off the stage and proceeded to follow the shadow Freddy all the way to the secret room that is now opened up. Freddy went to enter the room, but his programming didn't allow him, he turned to leave when his head suddenly got struck by an axe, he lurched forward; the axe rapidly struck him creating sparks as his body got torn apart.
