An: hey GH here as you can see last chapter I was a bit inspired by the youtuber David near for springtrap's dialogue. The guy did some great voices for them. So here we go soul's first night. Things are going to be different for the group. Your going to have to read to find out what so let the chapter begin.

Soul stretched the next morning and found crescent was just entering his room.

"I thought you had some more questions for me" said the former animatronic.

"Right it's about the previous night guards. What exactly happened to them if they were caught by you" asked soul.

"Well those that were caught were killed. Before Jeremy Fitzgerald was the night guard the tampering done by the previous night guard fritz smith made us see future adults as not trustworthy. The day of the five kid's murder was just the start of what happened. There were more murders then those. Springtrap was in fact fritz. When I was being shut down I saw he dismantled the original animatronics freeing the souls of the children that scared him into hiding into spring bonnie and springing the trap in it killing him. I guess the years of deactivation wore the tampered parts and programing to dust before I was rebuilt. Though oddly while I was offline I found myself reliving Jeremy's week and with my freed self I tried to change what I knew happened" said crescent.

"I think I saw that when I was placed into the night guards position during my dreams I noticed you acted differently to divert the animatronics enough to let me learn about the history" said soul.

"Odd that shouldn't be possible but who am I to talk as there always was something supernatural at the fazbear locations with the spirits of the five kids inhabiting the animatronics of foxy, chica, Freddy, and bonnie. I think you found the fifth one in your dreams, Golden Freddy" said crescent.

"That brings me up to the next question. The night before I found you I had a odd dream that showed you and the current incarnations of the four you named fighting fritz or as I called him the purple man as androids while mike went to drag me to safety. I think somehow I share a connection to mike at that point. So my question now is what is the connection between us and now you. Mine was because of what springtrap did to me and your is obvious but mike is the unknown into this. This is more likely a question for him" said soul.

"Why tell me this" asked crescent.

"I'm taking you to my job tonight to help us figure this out while also helping mike restrain me if it looks like I'm going to attack the androids. You bear a bit of a resemblance to eclipse right now and she was the only one I would never attack while I'm in the memory. Your striking resemblance will protect you. I know mike will find out about my transformed state eventually" said soul.

With that soul spent the time before he had to leave getting eclipse and crescent up to speed on what was going on and what might happen. In the end eclipse was going along to help restrain soul if needed.

The three arrived at the same time as mike who looked confused as they entered.

The other androids came up when they noted the extra people.

"What's going on" asked chica making the knightly fox to look over the four and agreed with soul that the likeness to the animatronics was uncanny.

"Frankly chica there is more going on then we realized about the 8a incident" said crescent making them look at the fox confused.

"Meet crescent formerly the animatronic known as mangle from the year 1087 of the company's past. Found her in my basement yesterday. She was reborn thanks to nanites, this is my girlfriend eclipse who the 8a are based off for the most part. She's actually a cyborg. Their here because we got to figure out something" said soul.

(Mike's POV)

I just stared at them from that admission. Soul was dating a cyborg who the 8a was based off of? The androids were as shocked about this as I was.

"Does this mean eclipse is considered our mother" asked foxy tilting his head making said cyborg stumble from shock.

"Well that was a new one most of them just called me sister as they usually bore a resemblance to me. Crescent is not a 8a so she doesn't count as frankly she's 80 years old older then you" said eclipse as she recovered much to her boyfriends amusement and making crescent glare at her.

"Don't you know that it's rude to reveal a girl's age" scolded the fox vixen making chica giggle,

"Anyway what did you need to figure out soul" I asked to get things back on track.

"What's your connection to Freddy fazbear's pizza. I know my connection was because I encountered springtrap in real life who caused the 8a incident" said soul and I was surprised that the kid I saw in my dreams existed.

"What why would a android from my dreams cause such a incident?" I asked.

"Looks like I have to explain some more about my connection" sighed soul before he pulled out a chair and sat down.

"Ever since I encountered springtrap I been reliving past events from crescent's old home up to 2023. In the process I learned about the past of the company. It all started with the diner. When a child was murdered in front of the building. The only one who saw this was the animatronic namesake of the android here" started soul pointing at Freddy making said android wide eyed.

"It was a man dressed in purple that caused the murder. Then came the missing children incident with the bite of 87. The guy had became a guard and employee of the company. I learned from crescent here that his name was fritz smith. He tampered with the animatronics and made them attack night guards when he moved to the day shift. Three days later he used a type of hybrid suit of mascot and animatronic costumes to lure five kids to the back room and kill them. That's where things get freaky. A animatronic known as the puppet or marionette actually transfered the souls of the murdered kids to the animatronic namesakes of the androids here. The fifth was placed into a poster and the only other hybrid suit. The original Freddy fazbear animatronic. If you see cam 2b the poster changed and manifested the suit. Anyway Fritz went back in 1993 and dismantled the animatronics freeing the souls and they went after him. In fear he jumped into the suit he used that had been moved with the repaired animatronics while mangle and the tampered animatronics were supposed to be scrapped to be used as spare parts. Somehow mangle avoided that and ended up in my basement. Anyway there was a flaw in the hybrid suits that made them dangerous. See the mascot costume mode had he components of the animatronic half compress with a spring lock. Thing was if sudden movements and high amounts of moisture hit the lock it would fail. Fritz didn't know this and when he jumped up and laughed while the place was leaking water from the rainy night the lock failed releasing the compressed parts. The suit went from spring bonnie the original bonnie model to springtrap. Fritz' tomb. But with the supernatural element he created he didn't vanish in death. The room he was in was sealed for 30 years until he was found and put into a horror attraction that was homage to his crime with the five kids. His spirit inhabited the very thing he died in and his remains were still inside the suit. He was thought to be a animatronic but truth was he is actually a zombie. The person roped as night guard had to put up with hallucinations I call the phantom animatronics which foreshadowed the fazbear frights future a fire started and burned the place to the ground. But springtrap escaped and five years back he returned and took control of the 8as and caused the massacre. I bet you noticed what I looked like in that dream two nights ago" said soul looking to me.

"Yeah you had brown eyes and we already figured out you lost your ears alongside your legs" I said.

"I lost more then that. It's best to show you though" said soul standing and for lack of better term changed. His legs bended with most of his weight went to the toes as the shoes or now I realized his feet opened up and reconfigured into something like a cat's paw with four slits in the now transformed foot. His shorts seem to compress and became armor reminding me of those crotch armor from those old megaman zx games. A small metal rectangle hidden by the shorts at the small of his back opened up and extended before locking into a mechanical cat like tail with a blade at the end in dark blue metal. His vest closed and became a chest plate that had a curve a good three inches from his actual chest. There was a indented white triangle with a line at each corner. The surrounding dark blue metal kinda resembled a dark blue curved A with a V to the neck area which was covered by the bodysuit and the sides were still that silver colored lines. There was a ring of silver metal at the shoulders as hey too changed. The shoulders were triangular dark blue metal attached to a dark blue armored plate resembling a upper arm. The joints for the elbows, knees and ankles were gears with the sides covered by dark blue dome like circles with a small curved plate forming the back of the elbow. The forearm was similar to a normal human one in shape and looked like dark blue metal. The wrist area was silver with a ball joint connecting to the pentagram shaped hands which were white metal with silver segmented fingers that stayed human shaped. Finally his ears opened and small panels on extending metal arms moved over his face and locked to form a detailed helmet. The bottom half looked like a white feline muzzle a good four inches out with a etched in fanged mouth guard. The top half had two triangular protrusions looking like cat ears. A lighter shade of blue was in the forehead between the protrusions and the inner side of the ears. The rest was dark blue. A black visor lowed over the rectangle that was eye level and in that visor appeared amber orbs that made me realize soul's eyes can glow and give off light making a intimidating look. The visors ends had the curved silver disks that was soul's cybernetic ears connecting the two halves together. My jaw dropped with the androids besides crescent and the cyborg girlfriend of the transformed teen.

"One of the 8as that we were fighting exploded after one had cut off his ears letting another sneak behind him to cut off his legs just above the knees. The heat scorched his eyes to stone charcoal while shrapnel cut off his arms at the shoulder joint. I went into a frenzy seeing this and destroyed the 8as in the mall. Springtrap was long gone and thought soul was dead. I thought so when I went to his remaining torso. It scared me that I couldn't tell he was alive or not. He was losing a lot of blood. It wasn't until I started crying did he let me know he was still alive by saying my name. I called his name and told him I was going to get him some help. I ran out of there and got to a abandoned hospital. Good thing about being a cyborg was that I learned how to give medical attention. I managed to stem the blood and when he wen to sleep used pain killers so I could remove his ruined eyes. He fell into a coma for two months and I was very worried. With the severity of his injuries he would have had no form of a social life at all. He only had his senses of touch, taste and smell left. It wasn't until I remembered about how nanotechnology had advanced in the medical field did I have my solution. I placed black highlights and changed my appearance as the 8as were looking very similar to me that the police would have confused me for one. I was glad that soul had the components to build some nanites. When I got back after a week soul had woken up. I could tell as he had his eyelids open. I quickly gave some to the sockets and the programming I did worked they reformed his eyes. It wasn't until I formed his ears did i notice he had a stray Russian blue kitten on his chest. It had wandered in from the rain alongside other stray cats. Some of them were there just after I left so soul had some shed fur on his clothes. When I put some nanites to reform his left arm the nanites integrated the cat fur and gave him three inch claws hidden in his fingers. As I was starting on the legs one of the older cats spilled the other nanites onto soul as the kitten jumped down in fright. The excess caused this current form. I had only one vial of nanites left which I placed into the basement for emergencies. The same vial that turned crescent's very damaged animatronic form to her current one. Took every excess plastic, metal, wires and motors plus various latex to reconstruct her to this" said eclipse taking up a explanation.

" Didn't even knew I owned a set of medieval knight armor down there until crescent in a liquefied state extended her mass to grab it. I actually wondered where the armor came from. It was altered by crescent to fit her frame and she absorbed the phume to form her tail with the helmet it was on to create a convincing fox tail which my guess is similar in structure to my own under the fur. The coloration was added as well" said soul.

"Back in 1987 I was very popular to toddlers but they couldn't keep their hands to their selves and practically destroyed me and put me back together into a mess. They damaged a lot of parts and even my voice box was badly damaged. My designation went from toy foxy or foxy 2.0 to the mangle. The staff got tired of repairing me everyday they turned me into a take apart and put together attraction. I actually wasn't even tampered with by fritz. I was to damaged for him to do anything. But as us toy animatronics at the time didn't have a proper night mode I just followed the others to the security office. All I knew was that they were aggressive to the night guard. I couldn't even enter until another animatronic was in there. But sometimes I did enter on my own. I traveled by the ceiling but well I sometimes swing without warning. If the night guard didn't dodge well he would have died. I over heard Jeremy the guard at the time refer it as my jumpscare as the others had some scary quirks. I used to be just a endoskeleton with the only animatronic suit parts on me was my head, my hands and my feet. The rest was shattered by the toddlers who must be over eighty by now. I don't hold it against them. Though poor Jeremy. The Sunday before the place shut down he was moved to the day shift when Fritz managed to tamper me and when it looked like I was going to bite off a kids head Jeremy pushed the kid away. But took the attack. I had bit off his frontal lobe. That had ended that location and we were to be scrapped. I blame fritz for that, he was the one who started the whole mess" said crescent sadly.

"God guess I should explain my connection huh. I'm actually the descendent of the third location's last night guard before it shut down. I'm actually named after him. my full name is mike Schmidt the second. I was unaware that my first week I was unknowingly following his footsteps until these four revealed it was a joke to both scare me and to get to know me. We didn't find out about this until we found my namesakes journal. Ever since I took up the job I been seeing the older pizzeria with the androids. Though I saw a orange haired man and alternates of the androids a bit. Though I didn't realize one of them was crescent. Springtrap manifested as a young kid android to me. The only ones I was wary of was a blond version of the Freddy here and the purple man who I now know as fritz smith" I said.

"Orange hair? That was Jeremy! You must have been placed into your namesakes shoes" said crescent in shock.

"Though I did meet a golden bear in the dreams. I found him immediately after I encountered the blonde android Freddy" I said thinking.

"No eyeballs, wires sticking out missing a ear?" Asked soul his voice slightly deeper and echoing eerily.

" Yeah exactly he warned me not to trust him who I figured meant the android blonde Freddy" I said surprised.

"You met the actual golden Freddy. The one housing the ghost of one of the missing kids. he warned me of the same thing though I was confused on who he meant by 'him'. But now I know" said soul.

"So the locations are haunted? Creepy" said bonnie.

"I'm not surprised the four of you actually have the spirits of the other four inhabiting you since you entered the building and was given your details like hair and clothes plus roles. Angelica let me know this morning that the reason she needed a night guard was that you guys pulled off something that wasn't scripted on the grand opening and freaked her out when she realized that you were 8a androids when she got you. Chica the dress and shoes actually came from Angelica's closet. She ran out of money getting you and also getting your costumes, hair and the props she didn't have enough for something for you chica. the only thing she did get was that bib" I said realizing that it makes sense.

"That would explain why I like trubador so much" mused Freddy making crescent and soul shudder.

"Please don't do that song it was a sign of the animatronic Freddy to show he was going to catch the night guard and stuff him in a suit. Both past freddys did it. It's creepy as heck. And as I was reliving the events of the past night guards if it wasn't for mike the first finishing his shift a few seconds when he ran out of power he would have suffered that. He got really lucky. For five years I been reliving the same three weeks. Each in a week long cycle. First week I'm in Jeremy's shoes, second week mike the first's and I don't know who the last night guard was 42 years ago I never got his or her name! But I had to endure springtrap and phantom animatronics on that last week cycle. There were only six phantoms. One of the puppet, one of balloon boy who wasn't a animatronic but a statue that gave out balloons, one of the mangle before I found her, one of animatronic foxy, chica and Freddy and on occasion golden Freddy and a shadowed outline of animatronic bonnie I called shadow bonnie. The phantoms just blocked my sight and caused system errors in the security I had to stop springtrap from going to my office in those events. I had to reboot the systems in the vents, the cameras, and some audio devices to get spring trap away from the office. He didn't have a set starting point. I can even do detailed drawings of them after how long I had this kind of events" said soul with crescent agreeing by doing a meme of all things.

"Nope, nope, nope so much nope" she said still shuddering.

"Okay point taken" said Freddy and took a few steps back. Soul had unsheathed his claws unconsciously.

With that the four of me, soul, his girlfriend and crescent went to the office. It was officially midnight.

immediately soul gave a yelp. And I didn't blame him. There was a charcoaled slender being with a burnt mask sitting on the desk with black eyes with white pinpricks in the eyes.

"Phantom marionette! Nope, nope, nope, so much nope!" Said soul now doing the meme as he shook. The noise got the rest of the androids over and they along with us stared at the phantom animatronic.

"Marionette! But how I thought he was scrapped with the others like I was supposed to" said crescent.

"It's a phantom animatronic crescent but I thought soul said they were hallucinations" I said.

"It was because fazbear frights didn't have good air conditioning. The air was so thin it caused hallucinations but that isn't even possible here" said soul fear in his voice.

the phantom animatronic looked at them all.

"He will return beware for the innocent will suffer again" 'he' said before a red flash happened and when it faded it faded with it.

I noticed soul shake as his transformation reversed and he collapsed against the wall eyes wide in terror.

"Springtrap" he gasped before falling unconscious and crescent with eclipse looked ready to follow that.

"It was a warning but who would give something that used to be a hallucination the ability to play messenger" said bonnie staring at the place marionette was.

"No clue but I doubt that would be the only phantom animatronic to give us a visit. We better wake up soul" I said before doing just that.

At one in the morning another phantom appeared. It was a mass of mangled machinery. Crescent gasped in shock.

"That's me! That must be my phantom" said crescent. Static hit their ears as it stayed just outside the widow over the desk where the monitors were. Suddenly it appeared in the office right before crescent and seemed to fuze with her. Her form flickered before turning into a burnt version of herself with her irises becoming the pinpricks.

"You must prepare yourselves to fight for once the nightmare hits there will be no escape and young cyber I thank you for finding my original. Now I can finally become whole. There is still more to encounter before you meet the dark one who is aiding the nightmare. My original and you young cyber and the descendent of that connected to the past know who it is" with her message given crescent was turned back only now her iris was ringed in white around the pupil. She shuddered.

"That was freaky it felt like a piece of myself was returning but also like I was dropped into freezing water. My phantom is still in my head guys. I think it will be a long while until she heals enough to completely return as part of me" said crescent making eclipse and soul worried.

"Does this mean that android golden Freddy exists and is helping springtrap" asked soul.

"Why do you think that" asked chica.

"Springtrap referred to himself when he was alive as fritz that he was a monster and that in death he became a nightmare, golden Freddy the animatronic said not to trust the android version in mike's and my dreams. That meant android golden is the dark one I think these dreams are trying to prepare those connected to the events to finally end the nightmare started in 1987" said soul and I nodded as that made sense.

"And as crescent was actually there she has as much impact in this" I said looking to the silver haired knightly vixen.

"We don't even know how long we have until they arrive" eclipse said.

the chime sounded showing that it was now six am. The eight of us shared uneasy looks. The countdown to whatever was set out for us had begun. According to soul we encountered two out of eight hallucinations. We may encounter marionette again with two new ones next night. I'm afraid I'm going to need to let angelica in on this revelation after soul checked the cameras.

"Those were the real phantom animatronics they knocked out the cameras and audio. If I remember right some have triggers. Phantom chica has a trigger involving a arcade game. It was our luck we encountered the two without actual jumpscares. Well actually phantom bb and marionette don't have jumpscares. Mangle did but well she returned to crescent. The only two without a trigger is phantom foxy and Freddy. Foxy's will appear at the left of the office and phantom Freddy will move across from the window before dropping out of sight about halfway before appearing in our faces with what I dubbed the animatronic kill scream. That will be his jumpscares while phantom foxy will lunge with said screech. Phantom Freddy is missing a leg so it will look like he's dancing a bit as he moves and plays that troubador's tune at a fast pace. Really creepy to see" said soul only to freeze looking at the window.

as if to prove him right phantom freddy was moving as he described and dropped down out of sight like he fell down a trapdoor. After a moment he suddenly popped up in our faces as we were a bit close to each other in the office with raised arms and the most frightening scream I ever heard. With a red flash he vanished and all of us clutch each other as angelica ran in looking around.

"What the heck was that noise scared the heck out of me when I opened the front door!" She said but then stared at us as we shook in fear.

"I will explain later boss there is a lot that went down last night and it wasn't the game the androids did with me on my first week. Just let us calm down first. Now I see why my namesake put that entry about the animatronics tendency for jumpscares" I said with a stutter as the five androids and two cyborgs nodded in agreement.

"Even five years of reliving those past three locations in my dreams I'm still not used to that" said soul as his tail deployed and straightened stiff in fright. Angelica stared at the tail.

"I can explain that as well let's just say your family's past is haunting us a lot last night" I said and hours later after the place was closed due to the androids condition and some tea for us that had stomachs I had just finished explaining to Angelica what we experienced and learned.

"I never heard about fazbear frights are you sure it existed" asked Angelica.

" I got the newspaper from 42 years ago. Place burned down the day before it opened for the public. Some of the stuff that survived was auctioned but the animatronic zombie springtrap wasn't found in the ruins. I think you found some of the auctioned items for Freddy, chica and bonnie here in the guitar, bib, bows and the hat. In fact now that I look at foxy's hook it's the same one from the animatronic" said soul showing her the yellowed newspaper.

"With this I can't deny the claim but was there anything else that survived you know of" asked Angelica.

"Springtrap formally Fritz smith is still out there. He caused the 8a incident five years back. Me and eclipse were the only survivors that actually got out of the building. I lost most of my body there. If it wasn't for the wonder that is nanotechnology I would be little more then considered dead. I lost my ears and eyes plus my arms and legs. The nanites integrated cat DNA from cat fur that was on my clothes when some strays came into the abandoned hospital and tried to comfort me in my state. Though ever since cats are drawn to me faster then you can blink" said soul and a purr filled the air and looking down a Russian blue cat was found in his lap.

"I recognize this one. It's the kitten I saw when I regained my eyes! Ever since I got my cybernetics he kept ghosting into me and eclipse's house time to time. So I gave him the name ghost because no one notices him until he makes his presence known" said soul petting the cat.

"Fitting name but how did he get in here the door is closed" said Angelica confused.

"We actually gave up figuring that out after he did that for a whole year after the incident" said eclipse making us wonder about the cat.

"So my pizzeria is haunted? Great I wondered about opening day" sighed the owner feeling a migraine.

"Yeah the noise you heard was actually phantom Freddy's jumpscares. Guess the phantom animatronics are listening and wanted to do a show" said soul equally annoyed.

as if on cue a tune sounded that had a echoing tone.

Dum de dum dum de dum.

Soul went wide eyed and turned to his left and everyone followed his sight to see a burnt robotic fox I barely made out used to be red with tan legs. There was a missing piece to it which I realized was the lower right arm. It's jaw was hanging open on a hinge. Suddenly it turned to soul who was the closest and screeched as it lunged at him aiming for the frontal lobe only to make soul fall backwards out of his chair clutching ghost with a scream of fright as the phantom animatronic vanished in a familiar red flash.

"Dang it! Phantom foxy gets me every time! If it was possible I would tell him to go to hell!" Shouted soul springing back to his feet looking mad.

"Ghost is really clinging to his arms" noted chica.

"Advantage of robotic limbs cat claws don't cause pain he can feel the fur sure but he can't feel pain in any of his cybernetics. Guess ghost was as frightened as we are" said eclipse moving to calm the cat and her boyfriend.

I just sighed as I rubbed my head. These phantoms sure liked to mess with soul didn't they.

(End chapter)

and so starts two running gags in here. Ghost appearing out of nowhere and the phantoms pulling jumpscares when soul isn't expecting it or just appear out of nowhere. Hoped you enjoyed this chapter so see you guys next time. And check out the story five nights at Freddy's 2067 the story that started this kind of fanfics universe. I don't own any of the characters except soul, eclipse, ghost, and crescent. The rest belong to their respective owners.
