"W-who are you?" Clyde struggled to speak, his voice coming off glitchy and odd. The red animatronic helped the bunny up, tilting his head.

"'Ye can call me Foxy." He spoke carefully, looking down at his Toy counterpart. The white, broken fox whimpered almost silently and glanced up at Foxy, flattening its ears. They exchanged stares before Tangle coughed, wincing in pain.

"I heard Red scream, we gotta h-help him." The endoskeleton head spoke, making Clyde nod weakly. The bunny began to half jog, nearly falling in the process. The fox followed him, looking him over worriedly as they ran.

"W-where did you come from?" Clyde questioned between breaths, huffing oddly. The fox looked ahead, trying not to out speed the bunny.

"Attic, I finally found out how to open th' door. It was a pull door, not a push door."

Clyde snorted when they stopped outside of the parts and service room, looking around worriedly. Freddy was pounding on the door, roaring loudly as he did so. Foxy's eyes widened and he backed up, his tail swishing worriedly. He hid behind the wall before the bear spotted him, obviously remaining terrified of his rage.

"Freddy!" Clyde cried out weakly, studying the door as he pounded on it. He shoved the bear aside and attempted yanking the doorknob, only to see that it was indeed jammed, almost as if something was holding it closed. Freddy went back to slamming against it, his ears flat.

"MY SISTER'S IN THERE!" He roared desperately, his eyes wild with panic. At those words, Clyde growled and slammed against the door himself, glaring up at the bear's eyes.

"This isn't working." He grunted, his voice glitching as he spoke. Freddy noticed this and looked down at the blue bunny worriedly. Clyde snorted at the expression, pointing to the doorknob.

"Twist it and pull, we'll try that."

Freddy nodded, doing as told. Once he began pulling, Clyde gripped onto his waist and pulled as well, his ears flattening. The door unjammed by a small amount, making them both grin and pull a bit harder.

As they struggled, Foxy ran over and helped pull Clyde. Freddy spotted him, his eyes nearly falling out from shock.

"F-Foxy?!"

The extra amount of power caused the door to nearly rip straight off its hinges, popping open and swinging to the side. The animatronics basically flew backwards and collided with each other, crashing against each other and with the floor. Clyde scrambled up immediately despite the pain, leaving the two older animatronics in the dust.

Dashing down the stairs, he tripped on one of the last few and crashed to the floor with a loud, grating sound of metal-to-concrete. The contact made the bunny cry out in agony, several dents and scratches embedded into him for good. Despite that, he scrambled to his feet again without looking around, only to collide into another animatronic. He yelped and attempted to back away until it put its arms around him, attempting to calm him down.

"I-it's okay, Clyde." Red spoke weakly, his voice just as glitchy as the bunny's. The blue animatronic groaned in pain and flumped his head against Red's chest, his ears falling.

"G-god, Red, what happened?" He muttered, relaxing by a large amount. Red shook his head, sighing.

"I don't know. It-"

"Aww, how cute!"

Clyde nearly jumped out of his skin at the grating, odd voice he had never heard before. Glancing over Red's shoulder, he saw the old, broken model of Chica 'grinning' at them. He squeaked and gripped the bear, looking on in horror.

"It's okay, Clyde. She saved T-Chi and I." Smiling over at the horrifying looking chicken, Clyde eyed her warily, twitching his ears.

"From the black thing?" The questioned, looking up to Red. Red blinked at that, looking worried and alarmed.

"Y-yes."


The four original animatronics had been reunited. Even though they were all dismantled and looked like something from the most disturbed person's nightmares, they didn't mind. They all treated each other the same as they had years ago, only Freddy was much more calm and open hearted. They all sat in the spare parts room while the Toys recollected their thoughts, all of them weak and glitching oddly.

"I can't apologize enough." Freddy said softly, his eyes locked with the ground. Chica brushed her non-active arm wires on the bear's hand, and Foxy smiled at him.

"We forgive you, Freddy." Chica said, her voice sounding slightly muffled. Foxy nodded in agreement, smiling.

"Aye, it wasn't you." The fox spoke, his voice jittery from the encounter earlier. The lights above them flickered, making them all flinch a bit.

"It's the Puppet," Bonnie hissed, his eye backlights shining brightly with anger. Freddy nodded slightly, sighing.

"Who be this...Puppet?" Foxy questioned, staring at the rabbit and bear. Freddy growled lowly and glared in the general direction it was in, lowering his head. "It killed those children. It killed Golden. It possessed us. It ruined my life. ...It ruined our lives."

Chica and Foxy paused, putting everything together. Chica looked to Bonnie and then back to Freddy, lowering her head a bit.

"Bonnie told me a lot about Golden before we were torn apart." She said quietly, looking away. "He sounds like a nice bear."

"He was." Freddy responded, smiling weakly. He pulled the poster he carried around with him out of his exoskeleton, unfolding it. Foxy and Chica both looked at it with interest, tilting their heads.

"He was so caring, so understanding...He never judged anybody. He always kept us in line, so when he died, I just..." He paused, his smile fading. He sighed and closed his eyes, shaking his head. "...fell apart."

After a few more moments, Freddy struggled to his feet, looking down at his family. He flattened his ears and frowned, sighing as he put the poster away. "I finally have all of you back. I'm not going to lose you guys again. Golden's not here anymore, so I have to take the roll of leader. For real this time. I promise you with all my heart that I'll protect you this time, and I mean it. I love you guys."

The three other animatronics smiled up at him, nodding slowly. He smiled back and let out a gentle whir for them, his blue eyes shining with happiness. He sat back down between them all and made sure they were all close to him, pushing them all into a corner of the room as he did so. He sat half in front of them protectively, making sure nothing could come close to harm them.

He may have broken his promise once, but he knew for a fact that he wouldn't this time.


The next day came and ended. The old animatronics had spent the entire night and day re-bonding, which was wonderful for everybody to know.

Red, however, wasn't as joyful as the others were when the restaurant closed.

While the Toys were getting to know their counterparts, Red stared out at the front door. A group of men were hammering wood and posters onto the windows and doors. He had a feeling of what was happening. Panic was welling up inside of him, but he didn't want to make any rash conclusions.

Leaving the stage area, he limped down the hall to the office. Pausing for a moment to lean against the wall, he pulled out a cigar and lit it, sighing to himself. He froze a bit when he spotted B.B., raising an eyebrow at him.

"What is it?" He asked, watching the boy walk up to him. B.B. leaned against the wall as well. He blew up a balloon and tied it to a string, handing it to Red. Red smiled lightly, nodding to him. "Thank you."

"Mr. Red?" The little statue questioned, looking up at the bear. Red glanced at him again and snorted out a bit of smoke, blinking.

"Yes?"

"I'm sorry." B.B. said quietly, looking down. Red stared at him in confusion, putting out his cigar. He kneeled down next to him and put a paw on his head, patting him gently.

"Why are you sorry? The Puppet's got us all under its control, it isn't your fault."

"I have to help him." He whispered lowly, his eyes wide with fear. Red removed his paw slowly at that, giving him an odd gaze. B.B. looked around to make sure that the Puppet wasn't anywhere near before speaking again. "He told me he'd hurt my family."

Standing up, Red looked down at him in even more confusion. The humanoid's eyes watered, his hands trembling slightly. "H-he killed me when I was real."

Red's ears flattened at the statement. He looked into the direction of the music box and growled, before glancing back down at the boy. "I'll get us out of this mess, I promise."

"There's two fuses." B.B. said under his breath, backing up a bit in alarm when he heard the music box strain from across the restaurant. "One's in the music box."

"And the other?" The bear questioned quickly, a small amount of hope filling his voice. B.B. bit his lip, backing up even further.

"In you."


He sat in the office, staring down at the paperwork.

He had searched up the fuses in the restaurants database, and Red was indeed the final animatronic created with them. His fuse was probably one of the last ones created, if not the last one. His mind was reeling, what was he to do?

These were the first of his problems, though.

A large, blood red "SCRAPPED" stamp had been placed on every single paper in front of him, overwriting anything about the Toy animatronics, or anything including them. The papers spoke of the newer models glitching too badly; more specifically Red glitching too badly.

He rested his head in his hands, his eyes watering. It stated that the old, working animatronics were going to be refurbished. But, the company was only going to refurbish the working ones. Which meant that Golden would be left behind, scrapped like the Toys were going to be.

Hearing noise in the vents, he didn't even take the chance to hide the papers or to look up. Lying wouldn't help them, neither would hiding anything. He couldn't lie to them. They needed to know.

Clyde emerged from the vent after a small amount of time, still a bit wobbly and uneasy from the encounter with the odd, shadow creature. He looked at Red worriedly once he noticed his expression, frowning.

"Honey bear, the windows are boarded up. What-"

"We're done. Closed." He blurted out, looking up at the bunny as he walked over to the desk. "Game over, Clyde. We failed. I failed. I failed you. My glitching ruined us. I've messed up one too many times. I've let you all down. I'm a failure, I'm worthless, I'm-"

Clyde silenced him with a hug, hiding his face in the bear's neck. Red hugged him in return, fighting and stifling a few obvious sobs. Clyde fell silent at that, glancing over at the papers. He grit his teeth and gripped onto the bear's shoulders, flattening his ears to fit easier under his chin. He struggled to sit in the chair next to Red, but somehow managed to fit. He kept his ears flattened, his eyes closing.

"Don't blame yourself, Red. Please, it isn't your fault." The bunny looked at the bear sadly, carefully wiping any of the tears away. Red pulled his face away stubbornly, making the rabbit chuckle softly, despite the fact he was nearly crying himself. Red sighed quietly, closing his eyes.

T-Chi showed up soon after, along with Mangle and Tangle. Even B.B. showed up after a bit, even though he didn't quite understand the severity of the situation. They were all silent, their heads bowed slightly in remorse. Nobody blamed any of the other animatronics. They had all came to a silent agreement that it was indeed the Puppet's fault.

Red glared at the dark hallway. His ears flattened a bit, his breath catching in his throat. Standing up slowly, he looked back at the other Toys, his face serious and worried.

"I've been honored to work with you all. Even though it's only been a short while, I want you to know that I wouldn't have wanted it any other way." Nodding after he finished speaking, he turned heel and walked down the hall. The others caught his drift and followed closely, looking slightly defeated as they walked.

They all neared the parts and service room, where the old models were relaxing. They all looked up when the others entered, all lead by Red.

"Freddy." Red spoke, making the old bear stand up hesitantly. Red stood up straight, his face filled with forlornness.

"We're being scrapped. We're shutting down for good in the morning." He spoke flatly, making the other old animatronics stare at them in shock. Freddy shook his head slowly, looking horrified.

"N-no...Red, you...You can't-"

"Funnily enough, we're being replaced by you guys. You'll be refurbished and moved to a new location." He said with a small smirk, interrupting Freddy before he could finish. He took off his hat slowly and did a small, sweeping bow to them, lowering his gaze.

"It was an honor working in your spot as a replacement, even if it was a short amount of time." He said, smiling at the old bear. "I hope you and your family find happiness when you leave."

The other Toys slowly copied Red, making the old models look away sadly. Freddy continued to stare in shock, not comprehending any of what was happening.

"I didn't want this to happen, Red." Freddy whispered, looking at his Toy counterpart sadly. Red placed his hat back on and shrugged, twitching his ears.

"I know, Freddy. None of us wanted this to happen. It isn't your fault." He glanced back over at the other Toy animatronics, sighing quietly. They all looked at Red and slowly walked away one by one, leaving the plastic-like bear with the old animatronics.

Red made sure that the Toys were all out of earshot before turning to Freddy again. He stood up straight and proud, looking at him carefully.

"Freddy." Red said flatly, his ears falling a bit as he spoke. "May I speak with you alone on the roof?"

Answered Questions!:


horsewhisper3: "Do you think that you might ever doing a story with these guys where they might befriend a human, (any human) enough that they might try to become the new owner of the Fazbear company?"

Answer: Believe it or not, Chillaid and I did something like that a while ago! Lemonnation Lemongrab became the night guard of the place, and took pity upon them. He bought the restaurant, so now he's the owner in the AtFBB universe! Erh, he's not exactly human, but oh well!


Elysion Wish: "1) Who do you think it was in Scott's fnaf3 teaser? golden or purple guy in golden?

2) Did you get inspired by another fan fiction to start a fan fiction? If so was that fan fiction romance, action, adventure, horror, or comedy?"

Answer: 1) I kinda hope/think it's just Golden, but either way it should be amazing!
2) Hmm, I know I've been inspired by fanfictions before, but no other fanfic inspired BoC/BoC2. Believe it or not, the song "Ghost" by Mystery Skulls inspired the first BoC!


Thank you for the support, guys! I appreciate it so much!
