(A:N: After typing this, I'll finish up my next chapter of Turnabout Forgotten! Alex: *mumbles* scatterbrain... Me: Meh, It's fun writing this and Turnabout Forgotten. So, REVIEWS!
Natekleh: Sorry! DX
Elchikaah Haly: DX I was a little upset about what I wrote too. Sorry that I didn't go that into depth. What I meant about the animatronic's 'past' is that they remember everything before the child murders as if they were always robotics, Foxy's memories are fuzzy about what happened before the murders. XD Yeah, I can never describe Edgey's suit color right. XD
Me: This takes place a few years after the last chapter, okay? So now that we've done that, Alex, DISCLAIMERS! Alex: THE real assistant doesn't own FNAF or Ace Attorney, they belong to Scott Cawthon or Capcom.)

Trucy sighed as she sat down on the ground, confused of her new surroundings. At first, she was at the Wright Anything Agency, closing her eyes as she sat on a chair, listening to her father talk to someone on his phone. When she opened her eyes, she saw nothing but where she was now, a dark, barren landscape. She looked around a bit before walking, and not finding anything, she was beginning to get a little frustrated. So she sat, rubbing her temple as she thought.
(Alright Trucy, you're in a dark area where nothing seems to exist, you don't know how you got here, or who else is here with you. What's the first course of action?)
She was dragged out of her thoughts when she heard a slight mumble. She stood up, looking in the direction she heard The noise. "Who's there?"
"... s_V_ tH_M..." Trucy started to lean towards the voice, curiosity getting the better of her. "What..?" A door appeared out of nowhere infront of her, seeming to carry a haunting feeling from it. "C_n Y_u?" Then the voice seemed to chuckle slightly, making Trucy frown, anger in her eyes. "I'll show you..." She grabbed the doorknob attached to the door, turned it, and opened the door. "b_W_r_ _f tH_m wR_gT..." Then she walked in, closing the door as quietly as she could behind her. She looked around the room, and what she saw sickened her. She looked at her surroundings, a shocked expression on her face as she put a hand to her mouth. "Is this..?"
The room looked exactly like that accursed place where Apollo was last seen. The room had spare robotic parts all over the place, a single lightbulb hanging in the center of the ceiling. The table in the middle was made of what should be stainless steel, with a stainless animatronic fox on top of it. Instead, both the fox and table were covered in a sticky red substance, and something was leaking out of the animatronic's face, and she knew for sure it wasn't oil. Although this wouldn't be something that had that would have that big of an impact on her, the thing on the animatronic's wrist was enough. The thing on the fox's left wrist was Apollo's bracelet. She whimpered slightly, and was surprised when the animatronic opened its eyes. She couldn't remember that well, but she was sure the fox had an eye patch of some kind, it wasn't wearing one now though. Its left eye, the eye usually covered, looked too human to be a robotic eye, and was hazel instead of yellow. The fox sat up and clenched its head, its hook making a slight clank sound when it made contact. The robotic fox trembled slightly, and Trucy grew afraid of the fox from its constant shaking. Then it stopped and looked straight at her. "Why..? Why Trucy why..?" Trucy didn't want to believe it, but had no choice but to fall to her knees, tears coming to her eyes. "I didn't know Apollo! I didn't know!" The robotic fox growled, its robotic, yellow eye becoming black with a white center as his other eye narrowed in rage. "Of course you did! Don't lie to me!" Then the fox jumped towards Trucy, anger in its eyes, before everything vanished. "y_U c_n'T"
Trucy woke up screaming, falling off her chair as she did so. "Trucy!" Trucy groaned, rubbing her head and picking up her top hat, which fell off in the fall. "I'm alright Daddy. Perfectly fine." The blue suited lawyer ran over to his fallen daughter. Nothing much had change for him, except the beginning of a goatee on his face. "Are you sure Trucy? It isn't one of your nightmares?" Trucy hesitated before answering. "... No?" Phoenix's eyes squinted in concentration for a few seconds before he sighed, getting up slowly to walk back to his desk. "He's in a better place now Trucy." Trucy got up, dusted off her hat and cape, and began walking towards the couch, which had the newspaper on the armrest. "Too bad he never knew the truth huh..?" Phoenix frowned, clenching the magatama in his right hand as he spoke. "Yeah, too bad..." Trucy sat on the couch as she skimmed over the newspaper. She did this every morning, skimming over the paper before setting it down and getting right back to work. Nothing caught her eye until she landed on one very interesting article, a tiny little thing really. Trucy read what the ad said quietly.
"Help wanted, family pizzeria looking for security guard to work the night shift. 12 AM to 6 AM. Moniter cameras, ensure safety of equipment and animatronic characters. Not responsible for injury or death. 120 dollar a week, call 1-800-FAZ-BEAR..." Trucy set the paper down and put a hand to her chin, staring at the wall as she thought.
(Okay, something is really fishy about this article, but still... What if something there could help find out what happened? I could get away with it easily if I work at night...)
Trucy nodded, making up her mind. She looked over her shoulder, "Daddy, can you come here for a second?"
Freddy Fazbears Pizza
April 26- 11:59 PM
Trucy stumbled slightly as she walked into the vacant pizzeria. After having a little argument with Phoenix, he finally agreed to at least let her attempt to get the job. She called the number given on the newspaper, which was answered by, who it seemed to be by the sound of her voice, a woman. What surprised Trucy was the amount of ease it took to get the job. There was no interview, no questions, nothing but a simple you're hired. She was told to arrive at the pizzeria early at 8 to grab her uniform, and was given one by the manager outside the building. The man was young and thin, with light ginger hair and glasses. His glasses didn't seem to fit when he handed the uniform to Trucy. When that was done, he ran back inside the building, telling behind him to be there tonight at about 11:30 to start her shift.
So here she was, already stumbling around on her first night. Her uniform wasn't really a uniform so to speak. It was just a purple t-shirt with the Freddy Fazbear logo on the back with yellow pants and red shoes. On top of her head was a cap with two bear ears sticking off the top of it. She was slightly embarrassed when Athena pointed it out, but she still liked it. And here she was, sitting in her office, holding her head in her hands as she sighed. "Why did I come here..?" Then she heard a slight ringing sound. She looked up, but saw nothing. "Who's calling at this time of..?"
"Hello, hello? Uh, I wanted to record a message for you to help you get settled in on your first night. Um, I actually worked in that office before you. I'm finishing up my last week now, as a matter of fact."
"Oh, well, alright then..."
"So, I know it can be a bit overwhelming, but I'm here to tell you there's nothing to worry about. Uh, you'll do fine. So, let's just focus on getting you through your first week. Okay?"
"Why? I think it would be easy to just stare at some cameras for awhile..." Trucy picked up a tablet, turning it on to see the said camera layout appear on the screen. The tablet showed Bonnie, Freddy, and Chica all standing on stage.
"Uh, let's see, first there's an introductory greeting from the company that I'm supposed to read. Uh, it's kind of a legal thing, you know. Um, "Welcome to Freddy Fazbear's Pizza. A magical place for kids and grown-ups alike, where fantasy and fun come to life. Fazbear Entertainment is not responsible for damage to property or person. Upon discovering that damage or death has occurred, a missing person report will be filed within 90 days, or as soon property and premises have been thoroughly cleaned and bleached, and the carpets have been replaced."
"Wait, what about the carpet?"
"Blah blah blah, now that might sound bad, I know, but there's really nothing to worry about. Uh, the animatronic characters here do get a bit quirky at night, but do I blame them? No. If I were forced to sing those same stupid songs for twenty years and I never got a bath? I'd probably be a bit irritable at night too. So, remember, these characters hold a special place in the hearts of children and we need to show them a little respect, right? Okay."
Trucy laughed slightly at the man's joke, setting the tablet down. "Alright, I will, even though one of these things are the results of my nightmares."
"So, just be aware, the characters do tend to wander a bit. Uh, they're left in some kind of free roaming mode at night. Uh...Something about their servos locking up if they get turned off for too long. Uh, they used to be allowed to walk around during the day too. But then there was The Bite of '28. Yeah. I-It's amazing that the human body can live without the frontal lobe, you know?"
Trucy's eyes widened slightly, then she rolled her eyes, sighing. "No, I don't know, please tell me more so I won't be able to sleep properly for days please."
"Uh, now concerning your safety, the only real risk to you as a night watchman here, if any, is the fact that these characters, uh, if they happen to see you after hours probably won't recognize you as a person. They'll p-most likely see you as a metal endoskeleton without its costume on. Now since that's against the rules here at Freddy Fazbear's Pizza, they'll probably try to...forcefully stuff you inside a Freddy Fazbear suit."
Trucy stared at the tablet, her mouth open slightly, twitching. "Wait, run that by me again?"
"Um, now, that wouldn't be so bad if the suits themselves weren't filled with crossbeams, wires, and animatronic devices, especially around the facial area. So, you could imagine how having your head forcefully pressed inside one of those could cause a bit of discomfort...and death. Uh, the only parts of you that would likely see the light of day again would be your eyeballs and teeth when they pop out the front of the mask, heh."
Trucy covered her mouth to keep the bile in her throat from rising.
"Y-Yeah, they don't tell you these things when you sign up. But hey, first day should be a breeze. I'll chat with you tomorrow. Uh, check those cameras, and remember to close the doors only if absolutely necessary. Gotta conserve power. Alright, good night."
"Good night?!" There was a click sound, meaning then man hung up the phone. Trucy stared at the tablet before sighing slightly. "It was probably just some prank..." The tablet's screen became static for a few moments before clearing up. When it did, Trucy's eyes widened, the bear was there, the chicken, duck thing was there.
The bunny though, was gone.
Trucy began tapping the camera system, looking for the rabbit. She finally found him in the 'Parts and Service room', just standing there. "Well, I guess that guy was right..." She went back to the show stage, making sure that the chicken and bear were still in the same spot. Then she used the time to flip through other cameras. Everything else she saw when she walked into the pizzeria was there, there was one thing that she hadn't seen though. She stopped tapping the tablet when it showed a curtained area, a sign reading 'Out of Order' on the front of the curtains. "Bite a man, and this is what you get Foxy..." She sighed, changing the camera back to the show stage, she set the tablet down, and looked up. On the ceiling was a box like object, reading 4:37 AM, 78% power. "Alright then, let's get this over with."
(Time skip, 1 hour later)
Trucy didn't know whether to be surprised or happy, for killer animatronics, they didn't really try to kill anyone. The closest they got was when Chica was down the east hall, her mouth open to show her endoskeleton underneath. She set the tablet down and looked up, the box reading 5:47 AM, 25% power. "I can do this, just 13 minutes left..." She picked up the tablet, flicking through all the cameras. Bonnie had made his was to the dining hall, and Chica made her way to the kitchen from all the clanging she heard. Bored, she started to skim over the cameras, and besides Freddy looking right through the camera from show stage, nothing was wrong, until she got to the camera with the curtains.
They were wide open, the only thing standing there was a sign, reading 'It's me!'
"Wh-where?!" She put up the cameras around the area, tapping the east hallway first, and she found something alright.
A animatronic fox, ripped and tattered, was running down the hall, not stopping for anything. Trucy didn't have enough time to put down the tablet and press the door button. She set the tablet down when the animatronic leaned into the room, Its eye patch flying up to reveal its second eye. "SCREEEEEE!" Trucy covered her ears, falling out of her seat. The fox walked into the room, raising its hook to swipe down at Trucy. It swung down, aiming for Trucy's head. She rolled to the right just in time, only managing to get a cut on the right side of her head. This made her back into a corner though, and Trucy was regretting it. "Oh god, I'm sorry Apollo..." She covered her eyes with her right hand, using her other to support her. "I'm sorry..."
Nothing came.
At first, Trucy was confused, she didn't move for a few seconds. Then she slowly looked up. The animatronic fox was in the same position, but looking right at her. "What did you say..?" Trucy was surprised that the old fox could still talk, and sound so real. "What..?" The fox lowered its hook, its muzzle somehow making a shocked look. "You still don't know..? Trucy, it's-"
Ding Dong ding dong... Ding dong ding dong... Yeah!
The fox stopped, erasing all emotion off its face before walking out. Trucy stared after the animatronic fox, a look of disbelief on her face. "... Apollo..?"
