30 Years Prior to the Events of Springs* Henry wakes up in a cold dark chamber. He can't see, it hurts to breath, he has scars and bruises all over his body, and his forehead is throbbing with pain. Henry reaches out and tries to get his bearings, he hears the rustling of chains as he walks, their is stuff hanging from the ceiling that Henry can't quite identify. Henry stands up and tries to make his way to the nearest wall, pushing objects hanging on chains out of his way. He reaches the wall and blindly runs his hand across the cold tile looking for a switch or lever to turn on the lights. He feels the smooth and frigid feeling of metal and finds a maintenance panel. He swings open the door and a flurry of knobs and switches lay there before him. He pushes one of the switches at the top. Nothing. Then the next one. Nothing. He pushes the third one, something turns on in the room and a faint clicking and whirring can be heard but still no lights. He pushes the fourth one and finally, one by one, the lights in the room turn on. Henry looks back at the room. He nearly vomits. Hanging from the ceiling by hooks are tens, no, maybe hundreds of animatronics stuffed to the brim with human body parts. The floor is stained red with blood and bodily fluids, and bits of bone and organs scatter across it. A voice comes over the loudspeaker. "Morning Henry, Sorry about the mess, I was not expecting visitors. Especially you." says a monotone male voice. "William! What's going on?! What have you done?! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?!" Screams Henry. "What have I done? I've done what I had to do! All these kids you see, minor set backs, All in the quest to bring back Elizabeth!" William Shouts back. "Will, if your gonna scream at me do it to face! Don't do it behind a loud speaker!" demands Henry. The speaker system shuts off. After about a minute of waiting, a hidden door at the other end of the large warehouse opens. Revealing the scruffy man that is William Afton. His face, scarred from a spring lock incident and his brown eyes cold and almost lifeless. "Happy Henry?! Here I am! Say what you want! I'm listening!" shouts William. "You were my partner William! No...No you were my friend! We started a business together, we made people happy. Then out of nowhere, I get wind that you killed my daughter! Here I was thinking she was the only one you killed! The unlucky victim of some mad man! I kept telling myself it was an unfortunate accident, that it was not you, But I was wrong! I had trusted you, But no, It was all part of your sick plan! To bring someone back from the dead!" screams Henry with rage. William responds, "It was an accident! I had no idea you even had a daughter! She was simply collateral damage, a minor setback in my plan. Don't you get it? I never meant to kill her!". "Collateral Damage?! That's all she was to you?! William, Elizabeth is Dead! She is Never Coming Back!" Screams Henry with a thirst for revenge. "You don't know that! I've made a massive discovery, I can bring her back! All I need to do is more tests! Her Remnant is there! I can have my little girl back!" shouts William with hope. "I've had enough of this!" screams Henry. Henry reaches into his back pocket and pulls out a pistol. William runs back through the door he entered from. Bullets from Henry's gun light up the dimly lit room and a loud crack is heard as the gun fires, Henry chases William down the hall with his weapon drawn. William runs through corridors turning over anything he can to slow down his old friend who is hot on his tracks. William runs to the control room of his facility. After he thinks he's lost Henry,He mutters to himself."Not today Henry...Not till I bring her back." He activates the facility's lock-down. Henry speeds down the hall towards the control room. He swiftly rounds a corner and sees William standing at his control console. Henry and William make eye contact before the lights in the facility turn a deep red and the door to the control room slams shut. A robotic female voice comes on over the loud speaker. "Control Lock-Down Initiated. Power down in: Containment Chamber, Laboratory, Cold Storage, and Animatronic Control." The lights shut off leaving Henry in darkness. "Henry...Henry. You know we could've been great together. Imagine all the things we could've accomplished if we had been true partners. But that will never come to be. Besides...Your always one step behind." Says William in a deep tone. A door opens far down the hall from Henry. William comes over the loud speaker again, "I want you to meet The Coffin. He's always been good at dispatching scum like you." A lone light flicks on down the hall revealing a deep black puppet like animatronic. It's slim lower body but bulky upper body blends in with the darkness. Three massive claws jut out from both of it's hands. It's face is blood stained red and a big painted smile lines its mouth, it's red eyes flicker to life. The animatronic starts to growl like a rabid animal, it's eyes scanning the room, and then eyeballing it's prey. "Have Fun..." Mumbles William after shutting off the loud speaker.
The animatronic lets out a loud shriek and darts after Henry on all four of it's limbs like a gorilla. Henry sprints down a hallway to his left with the animatronic right behind him. He tries to lose the animatronic by making as many turns as he can but it's no use, the animatronic is to fast. Henry pulls out his sidearm and fires blindly behind him. Most of the bullets miss their target but one lucky shot lands and hits The Coffin right in the eye. The animatronic falls back and stumbles to the ground. Henry stops and looks, thinking he's dispatched of his foe. A large bullet hole sits where The Coffin's eye should be. The animatronic stands up again and screams out a loud shriek that echos through the halls. It jumps and thrusts it's claws into the ceiling and starts to crawl upside down. "You've gotta be kidding me..." Mumbles Henry. The animatronic gives chase again. Henry continues to run. He can't outrun it, he can't hide from it, but he can outsmart it. Henry looks up at the signs on the wall. One of the reads, "Main Ventilation Unit". Henry makes a sharp right and sprints toward the ventilation unit. Henry sees the door, once he reaches it he turns the knob. It's Locked. Henry pushes and pushes but the door does not budge. The animatronic behind him jumps down from the ceiling and charges as fast as it can towards Henry, it's red eyes glow with a thirst for blood. Henry darts out of the way, the animatronic smashes through the door, revealing the ventilation chamber inside. Henry runs back into the room past the animatronic who is still trying to gain it's bearings. Henry examines the room. In front of him is a massive fan, almost double the size of Henry. This blades are spinning so fast it's hard to tell how many there are, but Henry knows one thing for sure, that fan leads outside. The animatronic stands up and looks at Henry. Henry sees this as an opportunity. "Hey You! Coffin! Come and Get me!" shows Henry with a smug grin. The Coffin shrieks and charges at Henry with it's arm outstretched, it's claws gleaming in the faint light. Henry runs towards the animatronic, full speed. Right before The Coffin can grab Henry, He slides under the animatronics arms and legs. The animatronic stumbles to turn around and slides on the tile floor right into the fan. The animatronic lets out an ear piercing shriek as the blades pierce the pitch black fabric and tear through wires and the slim endoskeleton. It's like a light show for Henry, sparks fly from the vent shaft as the animatronic let's out one dying screech. The wires from the animatronic wrap around the center of the fan stopping it in it's tracks. Henry climbs up into the shaft, and makes his way above ground. "This is not over William." He says to himself. "This Isn't over..."
