Yumiko was in her office, at about 11:50pm. She placed the plushies down, as she braved up, saying that her main focus is to confront the animatronics, with the mask on. Unfortunately, she'd ALSO have to wind up the music box, now and then. Even so… she has to survive Night 3, for three things. One of them is being that she wants a Tuxedo Mask Plushie, but the other two is to survive and not die. She rested by the table, as she started to feel sleepy. As she slept, she started to experience a certain vision.
Inside an 8-bit room, Yumiko woke up, seeing Sailor Moon, in pixelated form, walking around a bluish ice world. She walked around, as Yumiko followed. Sailor Moon beeped, as she spoke in a distorted baritone.
"S… … A… … V… … E… … …"
Yumiko walked down the path, as she spotted a box with a pink bow on it. Sailor Moon beeped out letters, slowly each five seconds. She spelled out a message:
"S-A-V-E H-E-R A-N-D T-H-E-M"
"Save her and them". What does it mean? Sailor Moon looked inside, as the 8-bit world faded into red lines.
Yumiko woke up, as she moaned, "Oh, man… What was that? Save her? Who?"
She looked at the Sailor Moon Plushie and said, "You know what it means, do you? Save them… save her… What does it mean?"
She clutched the plushie, as the night was about to begin.
June 11th, 1997 – Third Night
12:00am
Yumiko got another phone call, as she began to look around the cameras. This time, she did not get to answer it.
"Hello? Hello? Uh… Yumiko? Hello? Damn it. Focused on your job, huh? Anyway, if you get this, you're doing great, going into two nights. Sadly, I'm not sure how long we can talk. I fear that something may happen to me, one day, in the events of a robot Sailor Guardian mauling my body. But who knows when that will happen? Uh, one thing, though… Keep an eye out for that Sailor Jupiter wannabe. She may not be affected by that flashlight you have. And also, just stay away from her, completely. She may look cute, but she's got a big overbite. Ew. I mean, what happens if she pretends that YOU are a chocolate parfait, or a smoked sausage… or maybe a huge hoagie… Yeah… Well, it's best not to get caught. She's the only animatronic that doesn't do much, being that she's a usual take-apart attraction. But, seriously, don't go near her. She's cute, but she has a weird jaw line. Maybe the skin she was made in started to tear up. Uh, I don't know. Anyway… You're pretty busy, so… if you can, give me a call, tomorrow. I want out of here, and quick. Goodnight."
She hung up, as Yumiko saw the animatronics leave the stage. She switched to the Prize Counter and wound the music box. She then saw a shocking moment in the dark areas of the main hallway. She saw a faceless Sailor Mercury, walking by. She croaked, as she sobbed, "AAAAAAGH! NOW WHAT?"
The older animatronics were moving about. Sailors Mercury, Mars, and Venus were walking down the hallways, lost and alone. Meanwhile, all the other animatronics were moving about, doing odd jobs. Sailor Uranus was sorting the paper hats on the table in Party Room 1, Pluto was cleaning Sailor Kids' Cove, with Sailor Mangle hanging about, on the wall, Neptune was in Party Room 3, looking at herself in the mirror, and Sailor Venus, with her mouth open, saw the camera, in Party Room 2. She croaked, as she looked directly at it. Her mouth opened, revealing an extra set of animatronic teeth inside her. She moaned in a quiet groan, as Yumiko shivered, "Oh, no… Sailor Venus… Man… She looks ugly. But… I guess they overdid it in her mouth. And those eyes… She looks like she's possessed."
Venus's eyes were glass-like and with a crack on her left eye. She beeped, "Name of Love… I hate you…"
Yumiko kept the head on, as she shivered, "This is nuts. But I have to get through this night. For my Tuxedo Mask. Sailors Moon & Chibi-Moon will protect me."
She gasped, as she turned around, as Sailor Mercury, faceless and all, approached her, moaning in a demonic growl. She extended her hand and beeped from the speakerbox, from inside her lower jaw, "Douse in water. Repent-pent-pent-pent-pent."
Yumiko stood up and said, "Oh, Sailor… Mercury?"
Mercury tilted her head to the side and said, "Hello, boys and girls. I'm Mercury. You can't always stu-stu-study all the ti-ti-ti-ti-ti-time."
She walked away, as Yumiko said, "That's odd."
She returned to the cameras and rewound the music box. She sniffled, as she said, "She almost knew of me… What is going on here? If I keep the head on, they might grow suspicious… but then there's Mangle."
She rewound the box, as a shadow appears from in the hallways. It was Sailor Jupiter, as she was walking towards the frightened girl. She kept the head on, as Jupiter scanned her. She said, "Yaaaaaaar, me mateys… And wellllllcome to the Pirate's Cove…"
Yumiko asked, "Uh, why is she talking like a pirate?"
Jupiter sat on the table, as she sang a sea shanty to Yumiko. As she sang, Yumiko was nervous. She was focused on the music box and the cameras, as Mars was now in Party Room 2, near Pluto, who was walking into a wall. She dropped to the floor, as Mars helped her up. Uranus and Neptune were in Sailor Kids' Cove, sorting the toys out, while Saturn was crawling into the vents. Jupiter stopped singing, as she turned to Yumiko. She beeped, "Aye, my matey. You new around these here parts, me hearty?"
Yumiko mimicked her robotic tone and said, "Uh… Beep-Boop. I am an animatronic for fu-fu-fu-fu-fu-fu-fun. Please go away…"
Jupiter stared at her, as her eyes went black, showing her silver pupils. Yumiko shivered, as Jupiter pushed her down to the floor. She spoke, as she was standing over her, "AYE! You best be the stuff of leg-leg-leg-leg-leg-leg-legegege-ends. Shall I strip you down and repairrrrrr ye? Take her apart…"
Yumiko cringed, as she thought, "I'm dead…"
Jupiter was on all-fours, as she sang to her. Yumiko suddenly passed out, as Jupiter was slurring down. She remained on all-fours, as Yumiko was still out cold.
In another 8-bit scenario, Sailor Jupiter appeared from Sailor's Cove, as she was walking to the nearest party room. She walked down the path, meeting with the kids she knew, and confetti poured out, with the kids cheering happily.
It then cuts to Jupiter, meeting four evil demon girls, in the icy 8-bit field. It shot out rope onto her neck, as she was pleading to breathe. She tried to let go, but was electrocuted. However, as she was shorting out, she started to grow angry. She beeped, "Sailor. Jupiter. Supreme. Thunder."
ZZZZZZzzzzzaaaaapp!
The four girls were vaporized, as Jupiter was freed. But in the process, her body was hanging upside-down, and stabbed from the icy spikes from the explosion of the Supreme Thunder attack.
She then spoke, while dangling upside-down, as she was fading out. Only she spoke in her human voice.
"I'm sorry… I… I was too weak… I knew… I should've… trained more… Usagi… Save yourself…"
She died, after that, leaving her body to dangle on her icy tomb.
It ended with the Jupiter Animatronic, jumping at the 4th wall, in a demonic robotic cry. And then, it went to static and white noise.
At 3am, Yumiko wakes up, seeing Jupiter shut down, still on her hands and knees. Yumiko crawled out of there, as Jupiter remained rigid. She was completely broken, as Yumiko sobbed. She wept, "Jupiter… Why did you die out, just now?"
The faceless Mercury appeared, as Yumiko removes her head. Yumiko smiled and said, "Well, at least she's dead. But Mr. Shields has to see this… I hope he won't fi-."
She went to the cameras, but gulped, after seeing Mercury, who paused in place. She spoke, "You… You…"
Mercury hissed, "You… broke… her… YOU KILLED JUPITER!"
She roared in a demonic roar, as Yumiko dodged out of the way, and ran away. Mercury beeped, as she was lit red in what were her eyes, "Faker! Murderer! Stop her!"
Venus and Mars stopped, as Saturn crawled out of the vent, back in Party Room 2. Mercury beeped, as she kneeled to the broken Jupiter. "Beep. Beep-beep. Beep-boop-beep-beep."
Jupiter said nothing. She was gone. But… Mercury opened her back and reworked her circuitry, which were mildly covered in a dark reddish fluid, similar to blood. Jupiter stood up, as she spoke, "Where am I?"
Mercury beeped, "Intruder alert! Find the fake fembot! Get her!"
She and Jupiter walked off, heading after Yumiko, who ran away into Party Room 3, hiding from the robots. She shivered, as she was scared, "No… How did they know about me? I can brave this, but… NO! I CANNOT! I wanna go home! I WANNA GO HOME! These robots are going to kill me!"
She crawled into the vent, as she said to herself that the animatronics are still after her, so the best bet is to crawl back to the office, without them knowing. She kept on crawling, only to leave very little noise. Jupiter and Mercury were in Party Room 1, while Mars and Venus were in Prize Counter, halting the music box, for a moment. Uranus was in Party Room 3, hearing a light noise, while Pluto was near Saturn, by the Sailor Kids' Cove. Yumiko crawled into the dark and murky ventilation shafts, knowing her way back to the office. She stopped at a vent window, as she saw Neptune and Uranus in the dark hallways. Uranus spoke in beeping sounds, as Neptune responded back. Neptune then spoke in a murky voice, "Kill her."
Yumiko quietly snuck away, crawling back to the office. On the other side, Mars and Venus were lit in their black animatronic eyes, as Venus laughs robotically, with her extra mouths inside her head. She didn't talk. She just spoke from her speaker box, from inside her animatronic teeth. Mars spoke, as she said, "This is a bad kid… kid… kid… She must be punished…"
She whispered, "Hurry…"
Yumiko finally made it to her office, as she wound the music box in the Prize Counter. She switched back to the Game Room, as Sailor Saturn returned. Sailor Pluto just arrived at the Prize Counter, near the pink box, where Chibi-Moon hides in. Pluto then whispers, "No… No… No… She's not here… She's here… Someone… Someone… Stop-op-op-op-op-op… Helelelelelelelelelp."
She froze in place and tilted backwards. Her body smoked, as Pop Goes the Weasel plays. Chibi-Moon sprung out, as she hugged the broken Pluto. Yumiko sobbed, "This is crazy… That's not what I imagine… but… are they still after me?"
Mars appeared from behind and said, "Mm… Could be…"
Yumiko shrieked, as Mars clasped her neck. She beeped, as Yumiko was suffocating, "Now, now-, faker, you're – going to die, like me –yo-yo-yo-yo-yo-yo-yo-you're not fo-fo-fo-following the ruuuuuuuules~."
Yumiko broke free, as Mars beeped, "Why… do you be so bad? Come with me…"
Yumiko sobbed, "No… Leave me alone!"
Mars grabbed her ankle, and then screeched in a demonic roar, but then, a flash of light appeared on Mars' face, as Seb, in his white lab coat and blue pants, held up a small flashlight, and subdued the Sailor Guardian. He pushed her away, as she was rebooting. She walked off, heading back to the Party Rooms. Seb asked, "Are you okay?"
Yumiko sniffled, "Yeah. I am. I'm sorry… What are you doing here?"
He explained that he knew something fishy about the animatronics, moving around and with blood in their hands. He said that it was all because the robots are haunted. But he's not so sure. During the repair jobs, he heard many voices in them, including the ones that want them to kill anybody, including mistaking them for endoskeletons. She pleaded, "No… Then, that means…"
Seb replied, "It's a 50-50 shot… but I need to learn more… Look, there are legends that told about four Sailor Guardians that died in battle, long ago… Not many people know it, but all but one of the Sailor Guardians were killed, during the battle…"
He explained the story of how the Guardians were killed. He told them that, in their first life, they were protectors of the Moon Princess, who would be Sailor Moon, but they all died, during the war between the Moon People and the Earth People. Princess Serenity, Prince Endymion, and all the others were transported away to Earth, only to be reborn as different people. Sadly, the rebirths were just terrible as they were. He continued on, until 6am, stopping at the point of when Sailor Moon revived all her friends and Endymion.
After that, Seb then said to Mr. Shields, at 7am, in his office, "That Mars Robot… She almost attacked Miss Yumiko…"
Mr. Shields said, "Where's Yumiko, now?"
"She went home. Should we give her the message that she's fired? I'd say that a pink slip is for the best."
"Nope. It was an honest mistake. Plus, I doubt those other robots were workable. Maybe someone, during the day shift, must've reprogrammed them."
"I still say it's ghosts… but I'm not so sure."
"Mr. Hankowitz! I can take the story of how four old animatronics were reactivated, mysteriously, but I will disapprove of the fact about ghouls and ghosts. Haunted, my ass!"
"But, sir…"
"NO BUTS! What kind of nonsense are you playing me for?"
"Nothing, sir."
"Then shape up and fly right!"
Seb bowed, as Mr. Shields said, "Well, we have a show to start, later this afternoon. Make sure that the robots are prepared. Also, seeing that the older models are workable, again, have the animatronic room locked up, with them in it. They won't get out, seeing that this is a friendly establishment; plus, think of the scare factor on Mercury and Venus."
"I know. I'll have my boys on it. As for Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto…"
"You can prepare them. You have your job orders, now go."
Seb walked away, as Mr. Shields halted him, "Oh, one more thing. Yumiko can handle her shift, until Friday. Because IF, and only IF, someone is indeed meddling with the animatronics, during the day shift, I'm going to have that person fired, and Yumiko working the day shift, starting next week. Understand? Haunted ghosts… more like tampering with the animatronics. I want to know who the perp is!"
Seb said, "I'll check the security cameras, for this, just in case."
Mr. Shields said, "No, I think I'll do this one, today and tomorrow. You're dismissed, Hankowitz."
He left, as Mr. Shields went to the office, to view the whole operation going on. However, this was the beginning of the end, for this place.
That afternoon, as the older animatronics were locked up in the Animatronics Room, Mars started to beep, moaning in a deep moan.
Her perspective saw herself with Sailor Venus on her left, and Sailor Mercury on her right. She spoke, as she saw a dark party room, "Hello, boys and girls…"
The room was dark and empty, as Sailor Venus turned to Mars. She asked, "Nobody?"
Mercury turned to Mars, as Mars whirred her head to her. She buzzed, as she turned in front, seeing the newer models, Uranus and Neptune, flashing their eyes. Uranus said to Mars that she's coming. Mars asked, "Who?"
The screen went fuzzy and went to black.
After that, Sailor Mars powered down, leaving herself to remain frozen. Then suddenly, the door from outside, unlocked by itself. From below the door, a figure walked away, in a slow motion. This person, whoever it is, opened the door from the hallway.
Meanwhile, Mr. Shields was viewing the cameras in the offices, as he then gasped. He whispered, "Oh, my god… Oh, my goodness…"
He eventually shut down the place, only for the rest of the day. What was it? Was it a kid, destroying animatronic? Was it the animatronic, making a malfunctioning mess? Or was it the mysterious person who unlocked the Animatronics Room's door?
Night 4 was about to begin, as a nerved Yumiko was about to experience the worst night of her life.
