FNAF What it is like Chapter 3: Freddy's Fury!
"Please just behave yourselves tonight," The exhausted manger said as a farewell to the animatronics, who were in their places, staring blankly ahead. He shot another glare at them, before turning for the door, since he shut off the lights earlier. "At times you're more trouble than you're worth." With that, he exited the dining area.
Yet the animatronics waited until they heard the front door, before they started to move.
"F-Freddy…" Chica squeaked.
The bear was silent, climbed off the stage, and snatched a nearby chair from its place. He marched to the double doors leading into the dining room and forcibly jammed the chair's back under the knobs.
"F-Fred…" Bonnie called concerned.
"Chica," Mr. Fazbear growled. He slowly turned around to reveal his eye sockets were a black abyss with the tiniest of white light shining through the centers.
Terror struck the chicken in a second. She attempted to run before he would return but tripped over her own feet and collapsed on the stage.
"Chica!" The guitarist without his instrument went to her side, worried. "Are you okay?"
She could not find words to speak as her eyes locked on Freddy's monstrous gaze.
"Bonnie, get away from her. That's an order!" The bear roared angrily.
"No! Freddy, she made a little mistake! There's no reason to—" He was cut off by his singer giving him the strongest back hand he could mutter, which caused the bunny to fly off the stage.
He clenched his jaw as if he could feel the pain coming from his cheek and from his landing. He grew more terrified as he stared at the two before him. He soon realized the hit was so strong, it broken left eye! He was half-blind!
"Bonnie?" Freddy mocked her whimper for her pal. "Ha, you're bunny boy can't save you now!"
"Please, don't hurt me! Everyone is watching! Golden Freddy!"
After hearing Bonnie land on a random table that had broken under his weight, Foxy and Golden Freddy were peering frighten out of Pirate's Cove.
"You think I care if my little brother watches as I straighten out a naughty little chicken!" He hallowed.
Chica was curled into a ball, making crying noises as she tried to not keep eye contact with her friend's attacker.
Meanwhile, Mike frowned as he got out of his car. There was a lot of commotion today, dealing with spasming Chica, the customers, and don't forget the police! "At least my boss was able to get her back to normal." He muttered gratefully to himself. By now, he had just locked himself inside the building and went for the dining doors.
"GET BACK HERE YOU WORTHLESS PIECE OF CHICKEN!" Freddy's voice roared the angriest Mike ever heard him.
"Please, no!" A tiny, scared female voice whimpered. She also sounded like she was crying.
"Chica?" Mike whispered in concern. He went for the knobs but they were locked. They were never locked before. So, that only meant one thing.
There was horrible scratching noise against the title floors as tables and chairs were being forced to move.
"NO-OH!" The purple eyed animatronic squeaked in fright.
"CHICA? CHICA! LET ME IN!" The guard pounded on the doors, hoping a brave character will let him in. "BONNIE! FOXY! GOLDEN FREDDY! LET ME IN!"
"Don't you dare move, or I'll be sure to scrap you in a second!" Freddy threatened the other males in the room.
They stayed put in the cove, afraid of insane Freddy's wrath. They were trembling so scared.
"I'M SORRY! I-I DON'T KNOW WHAT CAME OVER ME! I'LL NEVER DO IT AGAIN!"
At this point Mike backed up, positioned his shoulder to the doors and rammed them over and over.
Chica sounded like she was sobbing. She was curled up in the corner of the woman's restroom. She knew the bear was coming for her. She was trembling in terror.
"Here's Freddy!" The singer growled with a crooked smirk over his face as he slowly advanced on the chicken.
"I'M SORRY!" She shouted, basically begging for him to stop.
"How dare you! You knew the rules! After Foxy bit that monster in sight of the customers, there were new rules! You knew them! Why didn't you follow them?" It was a really surprising to hear curiosity in his voice at the last question.
"T-they—they reminded me of – m-my family…of—of me…" She answered through sniffles of fright.
He glared at her, now looming over her. "You know as well as the rest of us, the children we were, were murdered that day! There's no way to get it back!"
The violet eyes widened as he came even closer to her.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Mike heard Chica's scream just as he burst into the room, having broken the chair from its position.
On the far side of the room where the cove was, Foxy and Bonnie glanced worriedly from Mike to the restrooms.
The night guard rushed in. His eyes went wide as Freddy was beating the only female animatronic who was crying out. Soon he snapped out of his trance and ran back out of the restrooms. "BONNIE! I NEED YOUR HELP!"
"I-I CAN'T FREDDY WILL DESTORY ME IF I DO!" He called back. He was torn. He knew his gal pal was getting punished, yet he selfishly feared his own fate if he were to get involved.
"THEY CALLED THE POLICE! YOU SCARED THE CHILDREN! YOU KNOW AS WELL AS I DO, THAT IF WE'RE NOT GOOD TO THE HUMANS, THEY WON'T BE GOOD TO US!" Freddy roared from the restroom. "WE'LL BE THROWN IN THE JUNKYARD! STILL TRAPPED IN THESE BODIES!"
"PLEASE! SHE NEEDS YOUR HELP TOO!"
"Foxy…" The bunny spoke up.
"Yes, Bonnie?" The fox replied in concern.
"Keep Golden Freddy here, out of Freddy's war path."
"Ye gonna-?" The pirate whispered in fear.
"I got to." He answered.
"Alright ladie, we be prayin' for ye." He replied.
Soon, Bonnie joined Mike in front of the restrooms. "What do you need me to do?"
"I need you to get Freddy."
"What?!" He looked at the guard as if he was crazy. "I can't-d-did you see what he did to my eye?!" He point out his dull, non-lit eye. "That was just a back handed slap!"
"You're the same size as him. You're a robot too. You have the strength to stop him."
"How?"
"Remember, how Chica was reset? Her head was removed and the reset button was hit?"
"Yeah." He gulped. "This won't go well."
"While, you get to his reset button, get him away from Chica. Then I'll go see how she's holding up."
"Well, I guess I don't have to fear a life I can't lose." The lavender bunny moaned nervously.
"I WISHED I COULD LEAVE!" The chicken cried between the blows. She wasn't looking well, there were indents all her form from the bear's punches.
"Maybe you should!" The leader of the band barked at her in disgust.
Suddenly he got yanked back as a familiar lavender arm wrapped around the bear's throat!
"FRED! THIS AIN'T YOU, MAN!" Bonnie said, which was a light at the end of a dark tunnel for the chicken. Since the bunny was a little shorter than the bear, he had to put a lot of strength in the arm around Freddy's neck, so he could get him to back off and out of the restroom.
When the restroom was cleared, Mike moved in. "Chica?"
She was spread out over the title floor, her head laid to one side, no sound. She just stared blankly ahead.
"Chica, Freddy's gone. You're fine now. We can figure out something to get the dents out of you." He assured the motionless chicken.
"Please, no. no more. I don't wanna…"
"GET OFF OF ME YOU IDIOT!" The brown bear snarled. He was trying his best to knock the bunny off of his back by running into things back first.
"I WON'T LET GO, UNTIL YOU COOL DOWN!"
"She's ruining our chances of remaining in business!"
"You know as well as I do that we all hate being forced into these roles, but we can't do anything to change the humans' minds! You know we can be prefect little angels for them, yet admit it! This place is falling apart!"
The fine dressed bear panted as he slowed down to a stop. "I-I just don't want to end up in the city dump." He moaned sadly. His eyes finally had returned to normal.
"I'm sure we won't. Not anytime soon at least. We're still functional, we're still useful."
The leader sighed in a disappointed way. "I hope you're right."
"I need help! Chica isn't responding!" Mike bellowed from the restroom.
"Go," Fred moaned, saddened by his own actions. "Help him out."
Bonnie released him and rushed to help while the blue eyed bear looked depressed at the oil on his paws from the beating.
"Fred?" A small voice called, causing him to look at Pirate's Cove, more specifically Golden Freddy.
"I'm sorry Tommy. I didn't mean to be that way—for you to hear me like that."
"I know it's the body, not you Fred." The golden bear said assuring.
"I'm going to clean this oil off of me," Fred said before walking away.
"See, she still isn't responding to us." The human told the robotic bunny.
Currently the chicken was muttering frighten lines, it sounded as if she was crying and pleading for her dear life.
"Mike…" The red eyed guitar player said, nervously. "There's a part we didn't tell you about Chica's murder…because it was messed up. W-What that man did—she's stuck the time just before her attack."
"WHAT?!" He exclaimed in horror and disgust. "D-did any of you see what he-?"
"Y-Yes…" He answered in disgust. "He attacked her in front of us after having killed us. Our souls just woke in the suits, so we didn't know how to move yet. We were forced to watch."
"Do you know what happened to the killer?"
"No. We never found out. A long time ago, workers talked about a news article that was about five missing kids at this Pizzeria, they said it was posted around the building. But, we're kids, we can't read well."
"I'll read you guys what the article says. It's still posted on the wall. I'm sure it'll help solve a lot of things." The man told him.
"Well, why don't you get it?" Bonnie asked.
"What?"
"Get that article and read it to Chica. She'll probably hear it and come back!"
"I don't know." Mike said very unsure. He never been around a victim of a harsh crime or he was never aware of it. Either way, he failed to see what the bunny was thinking.
"No, NO! PLEASE NO! GET OFF-" The yellow robot shrieked shrilly in fear before cutting herself off and went into mimic chicken noises.
"It's okay, Chica." The guitarist told her. "Please Mike. She's the real one who needs to know."
"Okay."
The guard was surprised to see everything that got in possessed Freddy's way was back to normal as if he did not rage like a tornado.
"Mate, how be the little lass?" Foxy asked, meeting him half way across the room. "She be sounding like the monster came for her once more."
"Bonnie, told me what he did to her before her murder." He replied uncomfortably. He rubbed the back of his neck with a hand, yet he didn't feel any better.
"Oh my," The fox said.
"Anyway, she's stuck back in that time."
"It must have been from Freddy whaling on her. The time came back."
"And I regret it," The mentioned bear said regretfully, returning to the room. "I-I'm afraid of the time we're not wanted anymore. I know it's coming, it has to be. And I just…"
"We know ye got a short temper, never mind it be a lass or a lad, Captain." Foxy forgave him.
"Thanks." He moaned, still ashamed of himself.
"Ye know Chica will be forgiving. The poor thing is so kindhearted."
"None of you deserved to be murdered." The night watch spoke up. "From what I heard of your pasts already, you all were great kids. And kids, especially, shouldn't be blamed for a mistake…even one that ended their lives."
"Thank you, Mike," Freddy said with a sad smile.
"What can we do for Chica?" Golden Freddy called. He started to crawl over.
"The article! Go see them in the girls restroom, I'll be right back." The human ordered as he rushed for a hall door.
The five males made a semi-circle around Chica, all of them looked concerned.
"No, no, no, no, I'm a good chickie, I-I'm g-good…no, please, no…" The yellow whimpered in fear. She was still not aware that she was safe.
Freddy stared down at his lap, being full of guilt.
"Should I read the page?"
"Whole thing please," Golden Freddy requested.
"Okay. "Five children now reported missing. Suspect convicted. Five children are now linked to the incident at Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria, where a man dressed as a cartoon mascot lured them into a back room. While the suspect has been charged, the bodies themselves were never found. Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria has been fighting an uphill battle ever since to convince families to return to the Pizzeria. 'It's a tragedy.'"
"What does that all mean?" The bunny questioned.
"It means they caught the monster and locked him away. He could be dead by now or not." Their human friend answered simply.
"So, everyone knows what happened?" Chica's voice suddenly asked.
This brought relief and surprise to all of her co-workers.
"Y-Yes," Mike answered her. "Everyone heard of it."
"They only knew the half of it. That slimy sea kraken! I bet he's been holdin' that tongue of his about where we are to our parents – our families!" Foxy snarled in distaste. "Just lovin' the way they must have squirm and begged him," His sharp teeth bared as he growled to himself.
"We're glad you're back, Chica," Golden Freddy said for the Fazbear crew.
"I'm glad to be back." She smiled.
"Freddy, did you said earlier, that Foxy bit a monster?" The guard pondered.
"Yes, yes I did." He answered saddened. "It was a normal day, the pizzeria was packed. There was so much chaos, no one really noticed Foxy bit a woman until she collapsed on the floor. The humans panicked, yet we trusted Foxy did the right thing."
"But it wasn't without a cost!" The fox frowned sad. "I ain't never seen that woman I bitten around that little sweet girl who wasn't afraid to be a part of my crew." He smiled slightly at the warming memory, which slipped into a frown as he continued. "That is why I bit her. Us, being on all the time, we are always hearin' the peoples' talk. I heard from a human that even women can be evil. That was in 1987, that day since I ruined all my friends' fun. We aren't allowed to play with the kiddies since that day."
"We forgave you, we told you this, Foxy," Bonnie said for the band. "Like Freddy said, we trust you did the right thing."
"Trying your best to protect someone, especially, a little girl doesn't make you a monster. You were defending a helpless child, who couldn't fight back I'm sure." Mike assured the Pirate.
"She couldn't save herself! She was so small, like little Chica…I-I couldn't see her smile go away yet it burns in my mind every day."
"That is the reason. The reason I want every one of us to be good as we possibly as can be, so a roof stays over our heads. All the monstrous acts I've been in the past, guys…I'm sorry. I know it won't be enough but still I am sorry. Having this roof over our heads is the best thing that happened since our deaths. And I want to keep it that way as long as I can." The main bear preached to his animatronic pals.
"I-I understand some of your acts but-?" The man was already feeling regret for asking.
"I-I…"
"He was tricked by the monster." The chicken jumped in for him.
"What?! How?! I thought he was-!"
"No, he wasn't caught right away. He was a night guard. After killing us he mocked us by working the nights here. That's why we were out to scary the night guards, cause we wanted – needed him to go away. He gave us sick smiles when he would come in. Then things changed when older kids started to snoop around the pizzeria at night. He—"
"He had me kill all those innocent teenagers," Freddy groaned, a mix of depression and anger. "When I didn't listen to him, he kidnapped my brother! Since it was before Foxy's bite, the building was all powered up. He just took Tommy and locked themselves up in the office until I cleared the building of the snooping teenagers." Freddy's voice quivered heavily. He sounded to be on the edge of tears as well.
"Freddy, it doesn't make you evil," The brown haired human told him honestly as he told Foxy earlier. "You were forced. You had to do it, or he won't let Tommy hang out with you."
"Exactly," The distressed bear moaned in mental scarring pain.
Golden Freddy crawled over to him, giving him a brotherly hug. "Mike is the best. He'll never take me away from my big brother, Fred," He assured him.
"I still feel like it would be best to some fresh air away from this place," Chica moaned. She looked in distaste at the building around her.
"Here, let me help you," Fred said to the chicken, before he broke the hug with his sibling. He held out a paw as if he was reach out for her.
Suddenly, a bright blue glow came from his paw in a mist or fog like form. Soon, there was enough of the glow that it surrounded her body. Everything was silent as the dents he caused her reversed, repairing her. When all the dents were gone, the bear rested his paw on the floor which made the glow evaporated.
"Thanks, Freddy," Chica jumped him with a huge smile. She wrapped her arms around his neck in a friendly, grateful, hug.
"I'm surprise you forgave me…" He gently hugged her back.
"I did all the times before, why wouldn't I now?" She questioned him, giggled as if it was the silliest thing. "You know I forgive people easily!"
A few minutes later there was a bell in the distance.
"Well, that's it. My shift is over until tomorrow night." Mike announced tiredly.
"See you then!" The gang called as the guard took his leave, knowing they would take their places soon.
He sighed as he locked the front door. "I'm not sure if I can sleep today," He muttered as he got in his car, started it up and dove away.
End of Chapter 3
Author's Note: Before anyone complains in the reviews, remember that spirits of children are within the robots so they are easy to forgive, easy to lose their temper and so on and so forth. Just so you know, I'm not tried to write them as evil, they are good friends with Mike, who they didn't trust at first but then they learn to trust him after a while. Understand since they were murdered, they were doing their best to be smart, before giving their trust to another monster. And personally, I view Freddy Fazbear as the "provider" for the other animatronics and himself. Think of him, like a father maybe. Papa bear you know, he wants the best for his friends, but he easily loses his temper because he's nothing but a betrayed children.
