New Companions


Nightmare eagerly waited at the edge of the pool, excited that all their waiting had finally paid off.

Old Man Consequences chuckled at the child's enthusiasm.

The water swirled, going faster and faster.

Then, an orb of the red water shot out of the center.

It shuddered and stopped mid-air before exploding, a scarlet figure deciding that it would be a good idea to backflip onto land.

His head connected with the ground, sending him rolling into a nearby tree.

Nightmare jumped to his feet, startled.

Then, he realized that this dude had just backflipped out of nowhere, prompting him to give Old Man Consequences a ''WTF?" look.

Once again, the man chuckled.

"They all come up in their own way, Nightmare. That's just how we are."

The bear blinked.

"...Alright then. Is he--or, um, she, maybe--okay??"

The got him a laugh.

"That one's male, Nightmare. And he should be, anyhow. Now, you ready to make a friend??"

Nightmare glanced back at the newcomer once more, before taking a deep breath and nodding.

He stood up, and began walking across the west side of the massive pool.


Two golden eyes blinked themselves open, glancing around.

He glanced at himself, confused as to why everything was upside down.

It was easily explained, as he was on his head, limbs sprawled out, body slumped against the tree.

Then, the memory came back to him.

"Aye...that di'n't go accordin' ta plan."

His ears twitched at the sound of footsteps approaching.

He looked to find two black paws coming to a stop in front of his face.

"Um...need some help??"

The fox gave a defeated sigh.

"Tha' would be helpful, lad."

Two furry arms pulled him to his feet.

"Thank ye." He replied, staggering slightly on his wobbling legs.

The bear grabbed onto him to prevent falling.

"You'll be a little wobbly for a while," He began, "it happened to me too!!"

The fox stared at him.

"...What??"

The fox laughed.

"I be imaginin' ye, all wobbly. It be funny!!"

Nightmare thought back to his birth.

"...It was pretty funny, actually. I almost fell back in the water!!"

The shared a laugh, Nightmare releasing the fox as he remained steady.

"I'm Nightmare."

"I be Nightmare Foxy."

Nightmare blinked.

"Wha??"

"It's just...I'm Nightmare. You're Nightmare Foxy."

"...And?"

"How are we both Nightmares??"

That got Foxy's attention.

"Eh...I dunno, lad."

Nightmare shrugged.

"Old Man Consequences probably knows. Anyhow, I'm glad to meet ya, Foxy!!"

Nightmare Foxy grinned, his tail wagging.

"Me too, lad. Me too."


Another Unspecified but still long Amount of Time Later...

Nightmare and Foxy were playing tag when the next one came.

They had just looped back to Old Man Consequences when the water began swirling.

"Oh look, another one."

At the words ''another one", the two kids had immediately skidded to a stop and rushed over to see.

The pool began swirling fast, eventually bubbling slightly before stopping.

When nobody cane up, the two looked at OMC, confused.

"Uh...hang tight kids, maybe--"

A black, clawed hand suddenly shot up out of the water, waving and shaking.

Nightmare and Foxy leaped up while Old Man Consequences gave a worried "That's not good."

Foxy dived into the water with Nightmare in tow, swimming to the middle.

Upon reaching the center, Foxy reached out and grabbed the thing's wrist.

He pulled, but to no avail.

"Hang on, Matey!!" Foxy yelped, shoving his hook underwater while Nightmare reached under with his arms.

After a minute or two of pulling, a figure finally burst out of the water, hacking and gasping for air.

Nightmare and Foxy pulled it to shore, Old Man Consequences leaning over in concern.

"You alright, kiddo??"

Managing to be able to breathe, the newcomer inhaled and exhaled to calm down.

"I-I g-guess s-so..."

Foxy patted its shoulder, hoping to help it cease shaking.

After a moment, it was calm.

The being twitched slightly, taking in its surroundings.

"...Erm...w-where am I-I??"

It jumped slightly when Foxy leaped forward, embracing his new friend.

"Ye be with us!! Tha pool birthed ye!!"

Before the newest Nightmare could ask, Nightmare himself waved a paw over his throat in a panicked "Don't Ask" gesture.

"...O-Okay..."

"I'm Nightmare!!" The bear grinned.

"I'm Nightmare Foxy!!"

"I-I'm Night-t-tmarion-n-ne..." It introduced itself shyly.

Foxy hugged tighter.

"I like ye!!!"

Old Man Consequences examined the ghastly puppet.

"Say, kiddo, I hate ta ask, but...you male or female?? I can't tell."

Nightmarionne bit its lip.

"U-uh...n-neither." It began, scratching the back of its head. "I d-don't ph-ph-physic-cally have o-one..."

OMC thought for a moment...

"...'Kay. Just checkin'."


Another Unspecified Period of Time Later...

A howl cut through the air.

Nightmarionne jumped, wrapping itself around Foxy, who jumped into Nightmare's lap, who somehow ended up on top of Old Man Consequences.

Laughing at their antics, OMC teleported them back onto the ground.

"This one's a girl, then."

He had hardly finished his sentence before a figure came leaping out of the pool.

She gripped the ground and shook the water from her fur, causing it to puff out.

Giggling, she smoothed it down.

"Oh, I love a good swim, don't you??"

She was addressing the second head attached to her shoulder.

He tilted his wire kneck and nodded.

Stretching, she took notice of the others.

A grin plastered itself on her face.

Skipping over, she gripped Nightmare's paw in her own two and gave one of those natural ''Imma break yo arm with how fast I be goin'" handshakes.

"Hi!! I'm Mangle!! Nightmare Mangle!!"

Releasing a very dizzy bear, she moved to Nightmarionne, then Foxy.

After shaking him, she paused, staring at him and going into thought.

Foxy, upon fixing his eyes and realizing she was staring at him, felt a bit anxious.

"Eh...lass??"

"Oh!!" She snapped her fingers.

"You're my cousin!!"

Foxy blinked.

"Eh...cousin??"

"Well yeah!!'' She jerked a thumb at the pool.

"I was told I--"

Annoyed static came from her second head.

"Sorry, we had a baby cousin!! Since you and I are foxes, that makes sense, right??"

"Aye, if ye say so, lass." Foxy replied, confusedly scratching the back of his head.

She turned to Old Man Consequences.

"Oh, you must be Old Guy Aftermath!!"

The man in red got a good laugh out of that one.

"Old Man Consequences, doll."

The one-eyed fox shrugged.

"Close enough."


Take a guess.

Have you ever woken up with somebody's face three inches away from yours??

Well, Freddy just did.

Hey, at least it was a pretty girl and not the police. Or a pretty girl who is the police.

"Hell-oooooooooooo." Mangle waved a paw in front of his face.

"Uh, Old Man Consequences?! He isn't responding to us!!!" Nightmare yelled over his shoulder, while Nightmarionne bit its claws in worry and Foxy smacked the brown bear repeatedly with his hook.

"Just give 'im a couple more minutes!!" He shouted back.

The bear looked down to the seemingly paralyzed one, scratching the side of his head in confusion.

The other finally came out of his stupor, staring up at them all.

"Oh, hello there."

His eyes drifted to Mangle once more.

*...Hello.*

Said fox threw her arms in the air.

"Finally!!! I thought we were gonna have to make Foxy give ya mouth-to-mouth!!!"

Foxy looked at the newest addition and shuddered.

"No offense laddie, but nay. No way in the bo'om o' this lake."

"None taken." He waved a paw in the air in dismissal.

Clearing his throat, he removed his hat, stood, and gave a slight bow.

"I am Nightmare Freddy. Pleasure to meet you all."

The others introduced themselves as well.

Suddenly, a smaller version of Freddy's head poked itself out of said bear's fur.

Freddy leaped 5 feet in the air as several more copied the first, causing him to fall back into the pool.

This warranted a laugh from everyone else.

Mangle walked over and pulled him out, Freddy's face dyed a dark blue in embarrassment.

Old Man Consequences took note of this.

*Hm...so, they blush blue?? Interestin'.*

Freddy reached inside of himself, pulling out one of his tiny duplicates.

Everyone stared at it.

"...Well. It seems I am a father, then."


I think you get the idea.

"I CAME UP FIRST, RABBIT!!"

"NOT ON YER LIFE, CHICKEN!! I DID!!"

Nightmare popped up between the bickering duo.

Pushing them apart from each other, he tried to calmly disspel the situation.

"Guys, does it really matter if--"

"YES."

"How about we just--"

"NO."

"Can't you two just--"

"NO."

Sighing, he released them, returning to the other four.

"Who wants to make it a point to never tell them who came out first??"

"Aye."

"S-Sure."

"Agreed."

"Heck yeah we aren't."

"Welp, that settles that."

Mangle looked at the two arguing and grinned.

"I ship it."


No, really, guess.

You could tell the next two were girls by the screaming.

A stream of fire shot itself out of the pool, the end of it being latched onto by two orange animals who were, as I said, screaming.

The two were flung across the water, one landing in a tree and the other going headfirst into the trunk.

The one who hit the trunk sank to the ground, moaning.

"Oooooowwwww..."

The treetop shook, dropping the other out.

She hit the ground with a 'thud', landing flat on her face.

"That was awesome!!! Let's do it again!!" She yelled, lifting her head and pumping her fists in the air.

"Have fun with that." The chicken replied, rubbing her aching head.

The other 7 approached.

The rabbit somehow felt it appropriate to strike a "Paint me like one of your French ladies" pose.

"Howdy."

Mildly uncomfortable, the others hesistantly returned her greeting.

The chicken facepalmed.

"Bon, quit. You're scaring them."

"You just wish you had my animal magnetism, Cheeks."

"Do you even know what that is??"

"No, but it sounds cool so I assume I have it."

As nobody but the man in red knew what that was, no one understood why Old Man Consequences was laughing so hard.


Yeet.

This one was...a bit different, to say the least.

Mostly because he came up without warning--normally, the pool would swirl, or, like the Jack-o's and Mangle, there would be some warning from them.

However, two paws burst from the water suddenly, gripping the shoreline and barely pulling himself out.

The others helped him, steadying the panting wolf and helping him sit down.

"Thanks." He coughed, shaking the water off.

Several droplets landed on the others, prompting them to wipe it off.

Oddly, they noticed that the water was...

Sticky??

That didn't happen to them, oddly enough.

A moment later, the wolf regained his energy.

Shooting them finger guns, he introduced himself.

"I'm Nightmare Balloon Boy!!"

They gave him friendly greetings, while Old Man Consequences gazed at the Pool, seemingly lost in thought.

*...You did somethin'. I don't know what, but somethin' just ain't right here. That one seems...*

He glanced back at Balloon Boy, noticing the hairs on the back of his kneck slowly go down.

*...Scared??*

He looked back at the red water.

*Well, he seems to be calmin' down, I suppose. But what--*

"HOLY COW I HAVE A LOTTA TEETH!!!"

OMC's head whipped back over, examining the scene.

The orange and brown wolf towered over the water, staring into his own mouth.

"Man, how many o' these things do I got?!"

...This is where Foxy opened his big mouth.

"There be at least twelve in thar."

BB paused.

Then, he whirled around.

It was in that moment, Foxy knew...

He f*d up big time.


Last One. For this Chappie, Anyways.

The pool swirled, a new figure washing onto shore.

Standing up, the green rabbit was cleaning off the water before being flocked by the other 10.

All was going well until Foxy opened his big mouth. Again.

"Ye're an iterestin' lookin' lad!! Ye look like a Plushie!!"

Now, what happened next was not because of the plushie, or just because Foxy was the one talking.

Plushtrap had tackled the fox and begun screeching angrily as she bit him.

Akward, AmIRight??


"Uh...Old Man Consequences??"

The dude in question looked down.

"What's up, Nightmare??"

The bear scratched the back if his neck.

"Uh...you said there was supposed to be twelve of us, but I only counted ten."

OMC blinked, mulling that over.

Coming to a realization, he tried not to laugh, but was unable to hold it in.

Nightmare stared at him, confused.

"Kiddo, I think ya fergot to count yerself."

Nightmare blinked.

"...Oh."

"Anyhow, the last'll be here soon. The real question is this: Are you ready to be a brother??"

That's almost everyone, then. What's Fredbear gonna be like??

A few questions you might have:

Why cram all of these into one chapter??Because I felt like it.

Why is Nightmarionne Genderless??

It works better for the story, and I like it that way.

Why is BB a wolf??

Because, everyone has their own interpretation of the characters, and this is mine. Plus, I just like it better than him being a humanoid.

Is Nightmare Mangle destroyed??

Not yet, no. It happens over the course of the fic. She and her second head both only have one eye, though.

Why did you change the order?

Well, like I said earlier, this is a bit of a remaster of the original, so I decided to make changes that I thought would benefit the fic.

Welp, that being said, see ya next chappie!!!
