Part 3: man versus metal.
I was very eager to get to my job today that I went early. So early in fact, that I ran into my boss when I got there.
"Harley, what're you doing here? You're shift doesn't start in an hour!" She said.
"I just...um...had a lot of stuff to do before I actually started my job" I said, suddenly sweating. "You know, set up and stuff".
She eyed me for a moment, then went on her way, mumbling something while she walked away. After that almost unexplainable moment, I looked at the building. It looked friendly, friendlier than it did about a week ago. After getting together what I was about to do, I took a breath and walked inside.
This is weird, I thought to myself, walking into this place before my shift. There were actually people there when I walked in, it wasn't just empty and terrifying. The animatronics were playing a song onstage, it was sounded like the Toreador March. And one more thing. Foxy was out on the stage, dancing with the little children. He was completely redone. He had no patches of bare metal, no broken parts, and no loose components. The band looked back together again, much happier than they were just a day ago.
Night 6
12:00 am
This was the time everyone leave. Foxy was walking back to the curtain while the band was shutting down. I said bye to the manager and went to my station. As soon as I heard the manager leave. I heard the toreador march play from the stage again. I looked into the dining area from my tablet and saw that the band was playing, I was then interrupted by an animatronic fox pulling down my tablet.
Now, recall from chapter 5, the part about the fox. Yea, now you remember. Upon seeing Foxy, I squealed like a little girl who got a pony on her birthday and threw the tablet, breaking it.
"Dang it Foxy! You just made me break my tablet AND have a near heart attack!" I yelled at Foxy out of fear.
"Oh" foxy said, surprised at me for yelling. "I didn't mean to startle ye. I merely came here to tell ye that we be ready".
My fear was overcome with curiosity when I heard those words.
"What?"
"You be longing to know more about us, well, we be ready". He beckoned me out into the hall. Completely curious, I did so.
As we got into the dining area, the other three animatronics were just finishing up their song. When they did finish, they all three looked at me and smiled.
"How ya doing, Harley"! Chica said as I walked in.
"Good." I said. I sat in a chair and watched as the others sat in a semicircle around me.
"Now, Are you sure you want to hear this? Because if you do, that's fine" Freddy said.
"l'm sure" I said.
"Okay, here goes" he looked at Bonnie, who started first.
"We arent all that bad, you know. We were just following the rules. We didn't know you were...human."
"I think humans are cute!"
Chica interrupted as she pinched my cheek.
"Chica. Try not to butt in" Freddy said "and don't touch him".
"Fine!" Chica said, folding her wings across her chest.
"Anyway" Bonnie continued "since we know you are human, we want to know more about you".
At this I was dumbstruck. Had my own question been turned on me? They now want to know humans.
"Hmm, let me think. Where do I begin?" I blabbered on and on about what humans are like outside the restaurant, about how we have jobs and have feelings, and how we are easily affected by words. The four robots in front of me were almost just like I described humans. They had been displaying the right emotions when I had told them about how corrupt we were. They had been paying attention to every word.
"That be a more terrifying tale than one I've ever told!" Foxy said after my story.
"My, I feel...disappointed in humans." Chica said.
Freddy was silent. So was Bonnie.
"That's-that's about it" I said, finishing. My story must have shocked them, because there was silence for several minutes.
"Well, one thing be sure, you're not like them dogs" Foxy said.
"What makes you think that?" I asked. They don't know my crime. They don't know my family. My father was a very messed up man, that's all I knew of him. The only other time I knew him was when he was on T.V for doing something to some children. He's still in jail today.
"Why, look around" Bonnie said, pointing to the other three animatronics "you've done so much for us."
"You fixed me jaw" foxy said.
"You reprogrammed Freddy" Chica said.
"And" Freddy said"you've softened four metal hearts." He said. The others agreed.
"I'll say he has" came a garbled, deep voice from onstage. It was an animatronic I've never seen before. This one looked like Freddy, but he was a pale yellow, almost golden color. He was, strangely, limp. I didn't like him instantly.
" Seen me before, ?" He said, getting up. So he wasn't limp. He hopped offstage. Did I mention he was eyeless? He walked over to join the group, and leaned on Freddy's shoulder.
"My younger bro here" he patted Freddy on the back" is new and improved, right? Or so that's what I hear" ,he gave a chuckle "That's not right" a red tint came to his eyeless sockets "that's breaking the rules".
"What rules?" Bonnie said.
"My rules" Golden Freddy answered. As soon as he said that, he disappeared.
Freddy was standing, motionless, a slight twinge in his eye.
"Freddy?" I said "you okay"?
"I thought he was discontinued." Freddy said.
"Well, celebrate while you can" a voice came from somewhere in the dark "because its time for a replacement". Once we heard that, G. Freddy appeared behind Bonnie and violently ripped his cords out, shutting Bonnie down instantly. Bonnie fell to the floor with a heavy clang, and his eyes went dark. Now pay attention to what's about to happen next, because its about to go to crazy.
Once Bonnie fell to the floor Chica went to help him. Me, Foxy and Freddy all crowded around Chica and Bonnie. All three of us were ready to fight, even though we didn't have a chance. I picked up the crossbeam from earlier.
We sat there, looking around, getting ready for a fight, when we heard Foxy telling profanity out of nowhere.
"Get back, ya bilge rat!" Foxy was slashing at the air with his hook "get out of my head"! What we didn't know was that G. Freddy was inside Foxy's thoughts.
"You know that you can't win" was one of the voices going through Foxy's mind. There were tons of others, enough to overwhelm Foxy, which it did. The voices were too much for Foxy, and he tried to get rid of it all.
Through all the voices yelling at foxy's conscience, foxy did one drastic measure to stop it all, too drastic. Foxy took his claw to his head and dug at it, trying to get G. Freddy out.
"Get out! OUT!" Foxy was yelling as he dug into his metallic skull. After a moment or two Foxy went too far, and he must have hit something vital, because he suddenly froze and dropped to the floor, a mess of wired components spilling out of his head. Foxy had just destroyed himself.
"Foxy, no!" I yelled, starting toward Foxy, when Freddy's hand stopped me.
"Don't...move" he shakily said. Freddy looked in a state of panic as he was keeping his stance. He knew the end was near, but I was determined to show him differently.
I moved out of Freddy's grasp and went onstage, the crossbeam ready in my hands.
"You want me? Take me!" I said, reciting from those action movies I used to watch. I was answered by a roar coming from the darkness. Soon after G. Freddy was standing right in front of me, his eyes completely red. His head was twitching in an unholy way, and his golden fur, after closer observation, was stained red.
"Who are you to think you can eliminate me?!" G. Freddy said on a deep tone.
"You...are...pure...EVIL!" I yelled as I slammed the crossbeam as hard as I could into the side of his head. Luckily I caught him off guard, because he went down from the force of the beam. I ran as fast a I could toward Freddy, who was yelling for me to duck. As i did, Freddy jumped over me and tackled G. Freddy, and they both were in a huge rumble. I went in to help, but a wild fist, I'm not sure whether Freddy's or G. Freddy's, smacked me in the head. As i went flying into a table seven feet from the stage, I saw Chica carry Bonnie away from the vicious fight onstage.
I woke up a mere seconds later to an earsplitting scream sound from the kitchen. As i got up, I walked over to Freddy, or what was left of him. He had an eye missing, and his head was dislodged. One of his arms was missing, and judging by the dents on his torso, G. Freddy must've neat him with it. It was a very sad sight, and it fueled an anger deep inside. All Freddy was trying to do was protect me. This was now personal.
I steadily made my way to the kitchen in time to see Chica backed in a corner, with G. Freddy hovering over her. He was getting ready to drive the crossbeam I was using into Chica's midsection when i yelled"hey!"
Golden Freddy stopped what he was doing and turned to face me. He had oil splattered on his face and his jaw was gaping open he tried to say something, but his voice box was broken(I saw it onstage) and all that came out was a roar. A demonic roar. It didn't disturb me, though, and I grabbed a knife from a nearby counter and pointed it at Golden Freddy.
"You" I said between heaving breaths" will die."
This must've provoked G. Freddy, because he teleported away. I was walking around the kitchen when he spoke in my ear.
(Please read in same voice tone as the fifth night message) "You cannot win. You are a useless peice of flesh. I will RIP YOUR HEART OUT!" G. Freddy teleported right in front of me.
As I was picked up by a golden hand, I reflexingly slashed the knife at G. Freddy's face. I got lucky and slashed his eye out. G. Freddy reared back with a roar of of pain as I got to my feet.
"That was for Freddy!" I yelled as I charged at him. As I neared G. Freddy, I jumped as high as I could, reching up for Freddy's face. I was smacked down as G. Freddy gave a blind swing. Fueled by adrenaline and rage, I quickly got back up and grabbed him at the shoulders. Pretty soon G. Freddy was grabbing at my shoulders, and we were both in a wrestling style stance. Freddy wasn't as strong as me since he was in a previous fight before. I was soaked in oil from his eye as I gave a hard push. The push knocked him onto a nearby stove, where I had a brilliant idea.
I turned on all the knobs to full blast while G. Freddy was on the stove. In seconds his back was melted onto the surface of the stove. Whole he was vulnerable, I jumped on top of him with the knife and cut of his arm.
"This is for Foxy!" I yelled as I drive the arm into Freddy's brain area. I then took the knife and pried his head off with it.
As a dislodged, broken Golden Freddy was sitting on the stove, I breathed heavily as his suit melted off of his endoskeleton. Golden Freddy was done.
I felt like i was insane. I could feel myself go out of control, I could feel myself blacking out. I shook my head violently took keep myself in control. I looked over to Chica, who looked like a dog who had been kicked too many times.
"Its done" I said with quivering breaths. While I was helping Chica up to her feet, the clock chimed 6 am.
