Chapter 5
Steven and the Gems arrived for their final shift. They got positioned in their office, and the phone rang.
Audio tape: Hello? Hello? Um, this is just a reminder of company policy concerning the safe room. The safe room is reserved for equipment and/or other property not being currently used and is in fact a safety location for employees only. This is not a break room, and should not be considered a place for employees to hide and/or congregate - and under no circumstance should a customer ever be taken into this room and out of the main show area. Management has also been made aware that the spring Bonnie animatronic has been noticeably moved. We would like to remind employees that this costume is not safe to wear under any circumstances. Thank you and remember to smile; you are the face of Freddy Fazbear's Pizza.
Steven: "Spring Bonnie"? Springtrap is a Bonnie suit. I guess that's why we haven't seen a Phantom Bonnie.
Pearl: Phantom?
Amethyst: How'd you come up with that?
Steven: It just came to me.
Markiplier: So you really dreamt about your mom?
Garnet: Tell us about it.
Steven: Basically, the Marionette put the dead children in the suits, preparing them for eternal vengeance. Then my mom came, stopping them. That's all I remember.
Pearl: It's crazy to think that's what had happened.
Markiplier: She was a powerful leader. I actually fought alongside her in the battle for Earth.
Pearl: Were you the only one besides us that made it out?
Markiplier: No. Other Gems made it out, and did the same thing I did. I think Tourmaline became Pewdiepie, Spinel became Jacksepticeye, Topaz became MatPat, and so on.
Steven: No idea who those people are, I don't go on the internet very much.
Markiplier: Alright. Well, Springtrap is sitting in the arcade room. so we're safe till the bell...
The bell gong went off and the shift ended.
Steven was having his final dream. It was a new location in 1987, and more kids had been added to the Purple man's kill roster. When he had escaped, the Marionette and Rose arrived, finding the dead children.
Rose: Oh no.
Marionette: No. No. This can't have happened!
Rose: I am so sorry.
Marionette: This is your fault! I knew I should've finished the man in purple when I had the chance! The children wouldn't have died! You did this!
He lifted Rose in the air with telekinesis by her neck.
Marionette: Oh. I see. You're carrying a human-gem offspring.
Rose whispered.
Rose: Steven.
Marionette: Steven? Hmm...
The Marionette sent dark energy into Rose's stomach, then dropped her.
Marionette: Don't worry. The curse won't kill you...yet. On the day that Steven is born, your physical form will be destroyed, and you will die. Then, I will finish your son when the time is right.
He heard footsteps approaching, and disappeared along with the bodies. Steven's father, Greg walked into the room.
Greg: Honey? What happened? You left me hanging outside.
Rose had a look of petrification on her face.
Greg: Rose? What happened?
As Rose was prepared to explain...the dream changed. Many years after the defeat of the Marionette, but before the events with Springtrap. Purple man had disassembled the animatronics in the second location, attempting to erase evidence of his murders. The children's bodies still resided inside the animatronic bodies.
Purple man: Finally done. These cursed robots and their disgusting stench. It's not like anyone cares about this place anymore. But still, it's good to cover my tracks. I can't believe it. I got away with murder. Five whole times.
Voice: We remember. We don't forget. We know what you did.
Purple man: What?
Voice: We know who you are...Mike Schmidt.
Mike: No! NO!
The souls of the children began appearing.
Mike: Not you! Get away! Stay back! Don't touch me! Don't look at me! Get back!
Mike was chased by the souls into a back safe room.
Mike: Have to hide. Have to hide!
He saw the Springtrap suit.
Mike: Yeah! There!
He ran and got inside the suit, having cranked apart the machinery inside. Once he was inside, the spirits couldn't reach him.
Mike: Hah! Can't hurt me now!
A click went off.
Mike: Huh?
The spring locks suddenly broke loose, slicing, crushing, and smashing Mike inside, killing him. The spirits disappeared, and the heads of the suits began to glow, the children now trapped in the suits in an eternal hell.
Steven suddenly shot awake. He rubbed his head, and the light grew around him. He suddenly found himself in the office of Fazbear's Fright. He jumped to find Springtrap standing right above him. His new voice was much softer, but still held a hint of threat.
Springtrap: Hello Steven.
Steven: Aw crap.
Springtrap: Don't be afraid. We have a lot to do...
