Management never informed him of Freddy being active at all at night. This was something that unnerved him more than the aggressive Pizza guy's. "Let's have a refresher of some of the rules" Started the big bear, turning his head again towards everyone. "Rule #1: No pooping on the floor. Rule #2: No running. Rule #3: No screaming. Rule #4: no yelling!" he proclaimed, the costumed animatronic moving its upper-body & limbs in an artificial fashion. "Rule #5: No Hitting." Freddy stated, looking directly at the Pizza hut employees, as if almost directly speaking to them. That last statement was enough for the manager to grow furious, as he tried to wrestle free the sledgehammer from Freddy's grip. "Grrr! Shut up!" he yelled. The robotic bear continued to discuss the rules of the restaurant. "Rule #6: Always stay close to mom. And No touching"

"Ahhhh! Enough!" roared the manager, staggering back slightly after finally prying free the sledge-hammer. "I'm done listening to this Bullshit!" yelled the manager, taking a running start towards Freddy. He raised the Sledge high, and swung down with all his might. This time, not only did Freddy's whole body come to life, but he dodged the attack fluidly. Mr. Manager was yet again at a loss. both shocked, awed, and freaked out that an animatronic bear was stopping his attacks. Freddy looked at him, his blue eyes changed into darkened eyes, accompanied by white little beady dots that shined in the dim light. "Don't...Touch. ME." uttered the Bear. Suddenly an opened palm, slightly revealing a slightly robotic hand; struck the manager right in the face with bone crunching force, causing him to go sailing off the stage. Freddy's hand retracted back to its original position. Then he started walking off stage. The sound of hydraulics was heard as Freddy crouched down some, and then Jumped off stage, landing in front of them with a loud Thud. Straightening himself out, he brought the microphone to his flapping mouth. "You aren't following the rules~" Freddy stated teasingly, pointing at the Pizza hut guys with his left finger, which wagged side-to-side. Bill had a look of dread on his face. "T-this cannot be happening." he uttered, his grip semi-loosening on Mike, whom was still in shock over the fact that a bulky, mechanical bear was coming to life before his very eyes.

The manager was staggering back to his feet, holding his jaw and sputtering out blood, & fragments of teeth out of his now crooked jaw. He glaringly turned back to his stunned men; "don't jhust schtand dere!" he slurred, "destroy him!". Davy was the first to step up to Freddy. The slightly towering brown bear looked down at him slightly, Still having that smile on his face. "y-you don't scare me!" shouted Davy, acting defiant. Freddy cocked his head to the side, showing some confusion. Davy swung left with the crowbar, but Freddy easily blocked it with a quick arm jerk. Shocked, Davy tried again with the right, same instant reaction. Davy could not fathom how any of this was even remotely happening. So he began swinging at him effortlessly to try & land a hit on him. But Freddy Faz Bear had his arms raised and ready to defend. Blocking & deflecting all the swings with his burly costumed arms.

Crowbar clanking with his arms. Davy panted heavily, growing exhausted trying to damage him. "Jesus Christ what kind of animatronic is this?!" Davy yelled out in Frustration and fear. He brought his hands together and attempted to jam the bottom part of the crowbar into Freddy Faz Bears godforsaken face, pry it off and mangle the endoskeleton within. But from Mike's perspective, even in his battered state, he could have sworn seeing a small red light shine in Freddy's right eye for a moment. Freddy grabbed both of Davy's wrists, stopping them as Davy's hands trembled with force & fear. Bringing his hands down caused Davy to come face to face with the Fuzzy Faz bear. His brows furrowed down and his eyes closed halfway to express disapproval. The look of fear on Davy's face was indescribable. "Someone wasn't ready for Freddy." he said, in a very dark tone. Then suddenly, out of nowhere, He head butt Davy with enough force to break his nose, then tossed him over his shoulder to the ground. The manager looked on in horror, as Freddy brought one of his feet on Davy's bloody face. He began to apply pressure, Davy's muffled screams were heard. "And when you're not ready." said Freddy, turning his head towards the Pizza crew, managing to show a frown. "It gets deadly." he finished, bringing the full weight of his foot down on Davy's head. The sound of skull cracking echoed throughout the pizzeria. As well as the horrified screams of the remaining two employee's. Mike's face was literally white washed with fear. The manager clutched the sledgehammer even tighter & looked over at his two coworkers. "We can take dis thing down! kill it!" He ordered, walking back toward the bear. The two Pizza hut employee's looked at each other with doubt. But then nodded, tossing mike to the side to join their boss.

[5:00 AM]

Mike slumped himself into a chair, trying to recover from the brutal assault. His eyes fixated on the bear, who started getting surrounded by The three men. Freddy turned himself side to side to see them positioning themselves, articulately observing their movement. Freddy took a moment to take a glance at mike, whom was staring at him with fearful intrigue. Freddy couldn't help but grin & wink at him for a second. This unnerved him a little more, but he couldn't just get up and run. In his state of weakness, he could only stay there and watch three men try to tango with a deadly, robotic kids mascot. Fred brought the microphone to him and said "Alright boy's & girls! It's time for some Freddy fun time!" he said in an excited and jolly tone. He extended his hand outwards, and dropped the would be attached microphone to the ground. This was enough of a signal top cause the manager to scream and charge at Freddy from the front. Freddy fluidly positioned his hands in a defensive posture. As Mr. Manager came in striking distance, Freddy slid his foot forward towards him. He brought his left up and blocked the end of the sledge; and proceeded to punch him at least three times before grabbing his throat & tossing him aside; Disarming him in the process. Troy ran at him with the Wrench, But got clocked by the back of Freddy's hand. Bill came at him more readily, twirling his hammers and taunting Freddy. But as Bill swung, Freddy simply deflected all his blows. "You must not of had Joy in your life." Freddy said, sounding a little disappointed.

"S-s-shut up you freak!" yelled Bill as he raised both hammers up to bring down. Freddy then delivered a series of five rapid punches to Bill's chest, breadbasket, and abdomen. Bill lurched over in pain, only to get front kicked by Freddy. A recovered Troy came back towards Freddy, this time circling him carefully. Freddy began to circle him as well, a single eyebrow raised. "I don't think your qualified by Faz Bear Entertainment to handle tools." taunted Freddy, in his abnormally friendly tone. with a look of fear, troy attempted a right jab at him, only to have his fist caught, crushed by Freddy, and then thrown to a table. Bill regained composure, standing on one knee as he held his chest & retrieved his fallen hammer. Freddy took one look at bill and troy before he strode towards the pizza box. "Y-you don't know what kind of life i lived!" screamed Bill; spitting out blood, knee's shaking weakly. "Y-you don't know what I been through!". Freddy turned & carefully picked up the pizza box, steam emitting from the still fresh pie.

"Oh dear! I am sincerely sorry for my previously offensive statement." said Freddy, sounding both sincere & apologetic. Michael was at an absolute loss of words. This machination was not only capable of defending itself, but was psychologically taunting his opponents. Just what kind of place is this, Michael tried to process. "Please, let me make this up to you all personally." Freddy said, addressing both Troy & Bill, who looked at him with pure resentment. He reached inside the box, gripping a few slices. "Have some Pizza on me!" he exclaimed with a short shriek, unleashing several extremely hot cheesy slices at them. One made contact with Troy's hand, causing him to drop the wrench and grip his hand. the rest made contact with bill's hands and face. Bill utterly screamed in agony as the molten cheese melted away parts of his face. With this opening, Freddy immediately ran at them; Striking Troy with a flying kick to the throat. Yet another sickening crack was heard as Troy flew back and died instantly. As Bill ripped off the pizza's; as well flesh from his face and hands, Freddy appeared before him. He smacked him around and grabbed the back of his throat. Freddy's hand reached back and clenched into a fist. With yet another shriek, Freddy Faz Bear punched the back of his the head, right where the cerebellum resided. The impact was enough for bills eye's to pop out of his head. With a gurgled cry of defeat, Freddy struck Bill in the center of his skull, killing him immediately. Mike being a witness to nothing like this in his life, observed it all with awe & horror.

As his body fell to the ground in a bloody mess, Freddy turned and looked towards mike. He leaned back a bit scarred, The titular Brown bear gave him a sincere grin & wave. Freddy began to advance towards Mike, his bloody foot stepping over Bill's carcass. Fear & dread started to increase inside Mike as Fazzy approached. Three men were just killed by him, without any effort. If they weren't ready for Freddy, how could he be? His bloodstained face reflected elegantly off the stage lights. He tried to move back, but ended up falling out of his chair, hurting himself in the process. Freddy's eyes widened with real concern as he got closer to Mike, who was trying to move back from him. But suddenly, out of the corner of his, Mike saw the Pizza hut manager stagger up, clutching the sledgehammer. Out of pure instinct, Mike yelled out to Freddy "Watch out!", as Freddy turned and got struck directly in the face with the Sledgehammer. Freddy staggered back a little, and received another blow to the back. Freddy was down, shrieking a bit at the blows. Mike got back on his feet. Somehow gaining a second wind after watching someone try to beat another while their down, even if it was a potentially homicidal machine. He charged forward and tackled Mr. Manager to the ground, causing him to lose the sledge, and just began to wail on him intensely.

He was then pushed off by the manager, whom then proceeded to get ontop and try to strangle him. Mike began to kick & try to push him off. "Phuck you! Phuck dis place! Phuck dat Bear! We're ghonna torchh dhis whole goddamn place to da ground!" The manager angrily sputtered with his crooked jaw. Overhead, Mike could faintly catch a glimpse of a bear overhead, his jaw slightly broken but still capable of movement. Some of his teeth cracked and missing. One of his eyes was also busted, allowing him to see the little red light in his socket. But what Mike was able to notice more, was the second set of teeth within the mouth. Freddy's hands grabbed the managers head tightly. Already screaming with pain, he was slowly lifted off mike as he tried to free himself of Faz Bear's grip. Mike crawled back a little and coughed several times, gasping for air. The grip around the managers head was slowly increasing in pressure & further crush his jaw, causing immense pain for the Pizza Hut manager. "You don't know the meaning of Joy" Freddy said in his regular tone, albeit a little remorseful sounding. "You come to destroy a place that brings joy & laughter to children. And you think you know the true meaning of creating Joy?" he continued on, his tone getting more agitated sounding. Mike could only watch on in shock as his head was being slowly crushed. "I try to bring smiles and laughter to children. To bring them some Joy in their lives. To create happy memories!" he shrieked loudly, breaking the managers jaw even more. His cries became louder as he struggled and kicked to free himself from the vicious bear. "You won't stop me. They won't stop me. No ONE, will stop me." he said, sounding even more malicious by the second. "I neglect to mention that there was one more rule before you rudely interrupted me." he stated, the red light beaming intensely. Mike swallowed once more, looking at the menacing bear. "Always leave before Dark." he stated, before crushing the mans skull in his hands. Croaking slightly while his body twitched several times before finally going limp. Freddy held the corpse for a whole minute, before letting it fall out of his hands, thumping to the ground. Freddy then took his bloody hand and attempted to readjust his now broken costumed jaw.

"O-o-one way or another." he looked up for a second to the ceiling, stuttering slightly.

"They will know the meaning of t-t-the [Joy of Creation]." he said in a deep voice.

After that, he looked back down towards Mike, whose back was against the bottom of the stage. Freddy walked towards him again. Mike raised an arm up in pure fear. "Oh shit!" he uttered. Freddy Faz Bear extended his hand towards him. "A-a-a-are you ok-kay?" asked the bear, his voice both skipping slightly as a sign of damage, and sounding pleasantly jolly again. Mike lowered his arm and stared at the bear for a second. Even with a damaged jaw, he had a crooked smile on his face, even after what he did. Being very hesitant, Mike reached out slowly to him, his hand shaking intensely. Freddy carefully gripped his hand and raised Mike to his feet. Mike stood face to face with Freddy. "I...uh...i'm alright." he said, holding his side that took the hammer hits. He took a quick moment to look at the corpses of the four Pizza Hut employee's. Troy was dead with a broken neck. Bill's face was partially melted with his eyes popped out of his head, and his skull fractured. Davy's head was now the equivalent of excrement on Freddy's foot. And the Manager for the local Pizza Hut was 'Upper-Managed' by Freddy. "I d-don't know why they do this." said Freddy, whom also took a look at them. "Wait, this isn't the first time?" Asked Mike. The animatronic bear walked over to one of the Corpses, gazing at it.

"They've b-been harassing e-e-veryone who comes here." he started, looking over at the other three. "O-one of them tried to deconstruct me not too l-long ago." Freddy said, turning to look at Mike. He walked toward him slightly, glancing at the damage down in the dining area. "They actually tried..?" Mike inquired, not just seeming sympathetic towards the deadly Animatronic, but also out of morbid curiosity. "Y-y-yes. But of course that cannot be allowed." said Freddy, walking mechanically over towards a door labeled "employees Only. "I-i-i-i do not understand why they h-hate me or this place." Freddy said, his tone sounding rather sad. His long arm reaching forward, grabbing the knob and turning gently, but was unable to open the door. With that, his head turned quickly to Mike, causing his jaw to go agape once again. "Excuse me, but could you please open this door?" asked Freddy, his tone sounding a bit more joyous this time. Mike was hesitant for a split second, freaked out by the slacked jawed bear. Swallowing a large lump in his throat, He nodded. "I just need to see if i have a s-spare key available in the office." he said, before he started speed walking back to the office. He didn't dare Incur the wraith of Freddy by running. In the distance, Freddy said aloud "Papa bear needs a new jaw! haha!" he said jokingly, utilizing a haunting laugh track that echoed throughout the Pizzeria.

[5:50 AM]

Mike turned the key, unlocking & opening the backstage room. It appeared to a medium-sized room, containing spare parts for ol Freddy for when any sort of breakdown during the daytime hours. As the door opened, it started letting ambient light in, illuminating the room ominously. On the wall next to the door were wires that ran down the height of the wall. On the other walls are shelves, which had spare costume heads. In the very center of the room was a table, holding an extra endoskeleton. Mike didn't know which creeped him out the most. as well as a spare suit head for Freddy. Freddy strode in and plopped right onto the table. He slowly removed his damaged head, revealing his metallic endoskeleton face. Mike turned away some, his childhood fears returning to him faster than a repressed memory. But even then he found himself looking at disembodied heads of Fred. Some with eyes and mouths open, others were eyeless. As if they were staring right into his soul, Mike simply closed his eyes and focused on breathing to relax. His body ached from all the ruckus before. He may have a cracked rib, but that didn't seem to remotely matter to him at this moment. Being in the same room with Freddy Faz Bear was enough for him to ignore the pain. Freddy placed his damaged bloody head to the side, and took the pristine head next to him. As Freddy struggled to re-attach his head, Michael started coughing a little. As he tried to surpress it, a shot of pain went through him as he coughed.

Freddy turned his half attached head toward him, eyebrow raised. "Are you sure you're okay?" asked Freddy. Mike leaned against the wired wall slightly, regaining more composure as the pain slowly subsided. "Yeah. No worries, i been through worse in high school." he said jokingly, daring to look at him. "Those people were going to k-k-kill you" Freddy stated, trying to get his head properly in place. Mike did come to the grim realisation. Had it not been for this Animatronic behemoth of a bear, he would have been dead. Freddy continued having trouble getting his head on straight.. "I hate to bother you again, but could you possibly help me one more time?" he asked, eyebrows raised upwards indicating distress. Mike looked back at him and gulped. "S-sure" he said, walking towards Freddy carefully. Mike started fiddling with his head, Freddy's hands carefully assisting him. He heard a click as Freddy lifted his head, turning and blinking. Mike backed up slightly, being spooked. Freddy looked back at him with a smile. "Thank you for helping me Mr...uh." Freddy started. He cocked his head to the side again. "I'm sorry, what is your name?" he asked. Mike finally relaxed some, standing up straight. "Michael, Michael Schmidt." he stated. Freddy's ears twitched. "Is it Okay if I call you Mike?" Asked Freddy. A self-defense capable bear was asking him for permission. Mike didn't know if this was real life or a very trippy hallucination. So he simply nodded. "Most people call me Mike most of the time, so it's fine." said Mike, wiping away some sweat."Ah, Mike. It's a nice name. Well let me introduce myself mike." Said Freddy, hoping off the table. "I'm Freddy Faz Bear!"he exclaimed, grinning happily. Very surprised at Freddy's enthusiasm, Mike decided to crack a small smile.

"Well uh, it's a pleasure meeting you Mr. Faz Bear..." Mike said. Freddy walked towards him, the sound of his feet thumping the ground. Michael looked towards him, trying to not let his fear get to him. Freddy hulked over Mike in terms of height. "Please." Said Freddy, extending his open hand out to mike, which was still stained with blood, and small fragments of Skull. "Call me Freddy" he said with a gentle tone. Mike raised his hand, but became unnerved by his messy hand. Freddy saw the hesitation within Mike, and quickly switched with his slightly cleaner hand. Michael then reached his hand out and carefully held Freddy's hand. Freddy's grip was firm, yet gentle. The two immediatly shook hands, which was incredibly baffling from Mikes perspective. "Were you the one who was watching me?" inquired Freddy. Mike felt chilled for a second there. Now he knew for sure he wasn't losing his mind. The bear WAS looking at him through the camera. His heart began to race. He let go of Freddy's hand. This Animatronic bear was sentient, Self-aware, and fully capable of lethal self-defense. He swallowed the sudden lump in his Throat. "Yes. Yes i was watching you. And this place." Mike told Freddy. "I was recently hired to keep a watchful eye on this place. T-this was my first night." Mike managed to get out, looking down & scratching the back of his head nervously. Freddy blinked twice before speaking. "Well, from my perspective." Freddy started, putting a hand carefully on Mike's shoulder, which caused him to instantly look back up at him. "You did pretty okay for your first night." he said, sounding very encouraging. Michael was utterly speechless. His brain couldn't even begin to comprehend all the events that lead up to this moment. Before he could even reply, or thank him, Mike took a look at his watch. It was 5:56 AM. "Oh shit, my Shift is almost up!" Mike exclaimed.

As he walked out, he still saw all the damage left from the fight. A broken chair or two, some tables were out-of-place. Not to mention the Corpses of four Pizza hut employees littered the floor. "Ah crap I'm so fired!" Mike shouted, holding his hands on his head in pure frustration. "Don't worry about it Mike. I'll take care of the mess here..." Said Freddy, who walked out of the room, and went to go collect the bodies. "There is a morning janitorial staff that always arrives in the wee hours of the morning, to do some early cleaning. They can handle the dining area, and anything else that was damaged." Freddy explained, already slinging two bodies over one of his shoulders as he went to collect the other two. A slight feeling of dread returned to Mike as he saw The hulking bear carry the carcasses. "B-but what about the..."

"You just leave that to me Mike." Freddy said, giving him yet another toothy grin, this time showing both sets of teeth. Michael decided to not question the bear any further. "I-i guess i should go now." he said, turning towards the west hall. "Wait! be sure to fill out an incident report!" exclaimed Freddy, as he stopped to look back at Mike. He turned his head back to the bear. "If you wanna keep your job here, you need to fill out an Incident report pronto! Just write everything that happened. And don't worry" Said Freddy, who was taking the corpses into the backstage room, "Be honest". Michael stopped to process that information for a moment. He had to write down all that happened. Men from Pizza hut broke into Freddy's Pizzeria; trashed half the place, Brutally assaulted him & almost killed him, and then were all killed by the hands of Freddy Faz Bear. A Childhood icon for a ton of kids. He had only minutes to think of how to properly write all this down. "Okay I will." Mike said, as he started back towards the hall. "And also" chimed Freddy, whom was peering behind a half closed-door. Mike looked back to see him through the half closed-door. "Thank you for trying to stand up for me." Freddy stated, a sound of immense sincerity detected in his voice. Michael paused as he looked at the already closed the door. He took a moment to see the damage one more time, before his eyes settled on the Pizza box that Freddy had previously weaponized. He saw at least one last piece of Pizza. It was already room temperature. Mike took the slice, and then looked back at the backstage door. He then simply walked down the east hall back to the Office, eating the now lukewarm pizza. 'Sure thing. It's my job after all...' he thought to himself. Back in the Dining area, strange sounds were emanating from the backstage. It was an odd sound. A fleshy, meaty sound. Like the sound of something getting forcefully stuffed into something. It was then that the clock struck [6:00 AM]
