((A:N: WARNING, REALLY OOC MINI VENT FOR ME HERE. For those of you who wonder why it took me so long to write this, let me just say, sometimes, life just wants to look down on people and say "Oh look... Someone's who life I can mess up". This person has been me for the past couple of weeks, I lost my boyfriend, and stuff happened that I don't even want to bring up again. But actually, a week after my break up, a guy came up to me, and asked me out on a date. We have been friends for years, and I just hope it all goes over well.
Enough of my life though, time to bring up the subject of FNAF 4.
And honestly, I've actually hoped for something like this to happen.
Scott may have ruined most FNAF fanfics on this site with that game, but he hasn't ruined mine, I have plans, big plans for that!
Now with that out of the way, let's head to REVIEWS!
Elchikaah Haly: Ha ha, thanks! I have to say, the nightmares are my favorite parts to write for this fic, as it gets me 'free realm' in this world in a sense. :D I hope to please.
unicornboo: Yeah! :D Thing is, what is she gonna do with this info?
Off to the DISCLAIMERS! Do it Alex! Alex: THE real assistant does NOT own FNAF or Ace Attorney. They either belong to Scott Cawthon or Capcom))

"Mr. Hackins..?"
Cody sighed as he slammed the tablet on the desk, glaring at the tall man before him. "Yes Frank?" He already knew trying to make the man child use his first name was futile. He did, though, find it easier, as each spirit called him something different. It made it easier to find out how to react to each one first.
The spirit in the right doorway to the office though was still a mystery to him. Said spirit was just looking at him, just barely blinking. "... Chancey's bored again. So is Billy." Cody allowed one of his eyebrows to be raised, looking at the man in slight annoyance. "And..?"
"... They wanna play... The game..."
"... What game?" Frank pointed towards the left door. "That game." Cody smashed the left light button, before quickly pressing the door button. "Oh no no no, we are not going to-" When he turned back towards the right door, no one stood there. Cody stared at the doorway before shutting the door quickly. He mumbled to himself as he took out a photo, the one he showed Trucy earlier.
(... Must have really cared about the guy... To sob so hard like that...)
He was dragged out of his thoughts to the sound of tapping glass, he looked up to see the bunny animatronic tapping the left window, somehow making a worried look on his face. The animatronic pointed towards the tablet, nearly making the crack on the glass wider.
He quickly picked up the tablet, flicking through all the cameras. Seeing nothing, he flipped over the tablet, and pushed a small button.
Only the manager and himself knew of the cameras outside of the building. All he had to do was flick a simple switch, and the multiple outside cameras would appear on the small device.
He mumbled to himself as he opened both doors, flicking through the outside cameras while doing so.
(Now... Let's see what's got bunny boy there so-)
His eyes widened when he saw the manager parked out front, tapping his foot as he glared at the camera. The man pointed at said camera before pointing at the spot next to him. To Cody, the message was clear.
Get down here. Now.
"... Dammit." He jumped at the sound of a gasp, and quickly turned to see the blond spirit behind him, a hand over her mouth. "You sweared." Cody sighed as he set down the tablet, standing up as he placed his cap back on his head. "I think swearing is the least of my worries right now..."
Cody stumbled towards his boss as said man glared at him. "... Afternoon Mr. Hackins." Cody nodded, taking his cap off to smooth back his hair. "... Mr. Stahm." The other man nodded as he crossed his arms, taking deep breaths. "... Mr. Hackins. Do you know the where abouts of the night guard as of now?"
Before he could stop himself, he spoke. "You mean Trucy?" He shivered slightly as the man narrowed his eyes. "So you do know her!"
"... Yes Sir..."
"..." The man sighed as he took off his glasses. "Please, Mr. Hackins, please tell me you didn't show her the picture..." Cody scowled, rubbing under his nose as he looked to the right. "What? She doesn't have the right to know about the... People trapped inside those monsters?" Scott shook his head, applying pressure to his glasses. "Mr. Hackins, may I remind you that these are dead people-"
"Most of these are children!"
"And what about the man who bit one of my employee's head off?" Cody blanked out, staring off at the camera. He could swear, probably all the spirits knew what Scott was talking about, and was watching through the camera right this second.
He only sighed before shaking his head. "You can't blame him Mr. Stahm, they died in your restaurant. The very same place you vowed children would be safe. 'Safety is our number one priority at Freddy Fazbears' is what you told the Phone Dude what to say to us. And I have to admit", that last one." He snickered as he rubbed under his nose. "It's a bunch of bull."
Scott mumbled as he applied more pressure to his glasses, until they snapped it half. "... Why I should have let him have you..." Cody scowled, taking a step closer towards the man. "You mean the puppet thing? What's the worse it's gonna do?"
To his shock, the other man only smirked as he walked back towards his car. "You will regret this Mr. Hackins, once you see the girl dead by the morning. Oh, and one more thing." The other man smirked as he climbed into his car. "Mr. Zenbeat says hello."
He didn't notice how dark the pizzeria was as he walked back in. "Chancey, Frank, Billy, you all have some explaing to..." He stopped as he saw a man, sitting on the table near the front entrance, which he was right next to. The man was the same man he saw in the kitchen, gold shirt and all.
"... Do." The man quickly stood up, holding out his left hand. "The name's Gregory. Call me Gold!"
"... Well... Okay..?" He quickly shook the mans hand before letting go. "Y-you don't need my name..?" The man giggled as he went back to the table. "You hear that Goldie?" Cody looked over the man's shoulder to see him pick up a small golden teddy bear. "He thinks that when we hide, we don't hear. Don't worry. We always watch big brother so he doesn't do bad stuff, and making sure people live."
(Big brother..?)
"Anyway..." The man set the bear down before he turned towards Cody. "I'm sure you talked to the big meanie outside?" Cody snorted at that, rubbing a finger under his nose. "You mean Scott? Yeah, but how did you know..?" The man smiled as he tilted his head to the side, raising his arms in the air. "Ain't it obvious? It's cause I pretty much rule the day here. But... Puppet thing rules the night..."
"... Is it the thing Mr. Scott talks to in his office..?" Gregory nodded eagerly, pointing towards Scott"s office. "A huh. They are planning something... And it has to do with the girl..."
"... Mr. Cody..?" Gregory turned towards the direction of the restroom, smiling sadly. "I'm sorry big brother..." He pointed towards the other hallway, winking towards the already startled day guard. "Don't worry, I'll make sure you'll both live..."
The man vanished, and the darkness along with it. Cody blinked a few times to get used to the brightness as the three spirits ran into the party room.
"Mr. Cody!"
"Mr. Hackins!"
"Mr. Day Guard!"
Cody frowned slightly as Frank walked forward, placing one of his large hands on the man's shoulders. "You said something about explaining?"
"... Yes..." Cody glanced at all three before glancing at the Cove. He stared at it a bit before grabbing a chair. "Tell me everything you know about the bite. Anything at all."
Wright Anything Agency
April 30-11:55 AM
Trucy awkwardly stared back at the small child, who was still sitting in the man's lap. Said man was still asleep, while her father had gone off to grab the papers Klavier and Ema came for. Ema watched the staring match, bored, her arms crossed.
"... Uhm... Hi..?" The boy blinked a bit before smiling, sliding off his father's lap. The boy walked over towards Trucy, before speaking. "Do you have them too..?" Trucy leaned down, curiosity evident in her eyes. "... Have what..?"
The boy jumped up next to her on the couch, placing his hands in his laps before whispering. "Do you have the bad dreams too..? With Gold man..?"
Ema looked at the boy with a confused look, uncrossing her arms. "Trucy, what is he talking about?"
"... Hmm..." Trucy glanced at the man on the other couch, the one the boy was sitting on earlier. The man yawned, covering his mouth, before opening his eyes. "... Robert, what are you doing..?" The boy, Robert, pouted as he looked down. "... I dunno Papa..."
"..." The man sighed, rubbing back his pitch black hair before smiling sheepishly at Trucy. "So sorry, Robert usually doesn't open up to people unless he wants... Something..." Trucy shrugged before gazing out of the window. "It's fine it's fine..." She then looked back down at Robert. "So, your name is Robert..?"
The boy nodded proudly as he placed a knuckle over his chest. "Robert Bartholomew Fitzgerald! Papa says it's a hard thing to say, so just Robert is fine!" Ema covered her mouth to hide a smirk, looking away as Trucy glanced at the man. "And you are..?"
The man sighed before slowly standing up, picking up a black stained towel off his lap, one Trucy didn't see before. "I'm Jeremy Fitzgerald. The proud father of this little guy here." He wrapped the towel around his neck, before lazily glancing behind her shoulder. "... By the hat on your gargantuan pile of 'props' my psychologist told me about, which you own, it seems you work at that place?"
Trucy turned to see the hat she forgot last night, before smiling sheepishly. "Yeah... The ears, I could do without."
Jeremy shrugged before picking up the small child, who buried his head into his Dad's shoulder. "Well, I'm heading off, and seems like you should too. Mike is probably gonna barge into this room in three..." Jeremy smirked as he glanced at the door. "Two... And..."
Said man slammed the door open, looking around for Trucy until his eyes landed on her. Jeremy only shrugged before sitting back down on the chair. "One."
Mike glanced at Jeremy before looking back at Trucy. "We have a problem."
"What do you mean she found out?" Mike attempted to catch up to Trucy as she ran outside, holding his glasses so they wouldn't hit the ground. "I mean exactly that, they were happy when I left. What worries me was how he acted, I'm afraid he might..." The words died on his lips as Trucy finally spotted the two.
Apollo was sitting on the trunk of the car while Athena was standing, her arms crossed as her mouth was in a tight frown. Athena didn't see Trucy until she was a few steps away from her. "At-Athena!" Athena tilted her head to the side as she glanced at her, flicking her moon earring. "Speaking."
"Athena! I'm so, so, so sorry for not telling you."
"Trucy"
"I didn't know if we should have told anyone, because maybe-"
"Truce." Apollo tapped her with his hooked hand, making sure it was with the blunt side and not the tip. "It's fine, calm down."
Trucy glanced at Athena before looking back at Apollo. "... She isn't mad..?" Athena sighed, placing her hands to her hips. "No, just a little... Upset. I don't get why you and Apollo..." She glanced at the man, who had found a sudden interest on the ground. "... Didn't tell us for awhile. And why he even dragged you to the backstage area..."
Apollo rubbed his hooked hand as he gazed at Trucy's bandaged arm. "... I'm sorry, but... I can't."
Mike, who had finally caught up, spoke up. "Tell us what, why can't he tell us?"
"... Apollo, we can talk later then. When we have the others here." Apollo didn't look up as he stood, shuffling his feet as he tipped his hat. Athena tilted her head to the side, flicking her moon earring. "One question you have to answer though is this..." She glanced towards the office building, her necklace flickering towards a darker blue. "Should we tell the Boss about this? About you?"
Apollo looked over towards the agency building before chuckling to himself. "If I know Mr. Wright, he probably found it out already."
Freddy Fazbears Pizza
April 30-12:48 PM
Cody flicked through the cameras, mumbling to himself as he did. "Where is he where is he..?" He stopped as a deep laugh resounded, while footsteps padded towards the right door. He quickly shut it, smirking. "Gotcha! Nice try Frank, but you ain't catching me this..."
A small moan sounded, which immediately turned his triumphant smirk into a disappointed pout. He glanced towards the right window, which had the light on. Chancey, as Chica, stood there. "He's right behind me, isn't he?" Something akin to a smirk crossed the robot's beak, permitting a sigh to come from Cody. "Gosh darnit..."
He sat still, not putting up the camera. He crossed his arms, staring across towards the desk. "... I'm not doing it bunny boy."
"Pleeeaaassseee?" He heard a loud clank sound, probably from the animatronic clasping his hands together. "Just this one time..?"
He smirked, rubbing under his nose as he leaned back in his chair a bit. "Nope, you all agreed that you would stick to your usual routes, and since there's no fox around, then there's no need for me to..." A quick set of footsteps from the left side drawed a strangled moan from the man. "Chancey, Frank, I thought we agreed too-"
He was interrupted when a large figure stepped into the room. The figure, the fox animatronic, flicked up his eyepatch, which revealed a pitch black eye. He glared over Cody, a deep rumbling sound came from it.
"Billy... What is this..?"
A bright flash illuminated the room, followed by a man shuffling over towards the fox, his head down. "... We got bored... And decided to play a game..."
"... Hmm..."
The fox crossed his left arm, using his hook to poke his forehead. This would have dragged a small snicker from Cody if it weren't for the atmosphere of the room. "... Interesting... Can you give me some details about this game?"
The fox opened the right door, revealing the already frightened looking spirits on the other side. "How about you two? Chancey? Frank?"
Frank shuffled his feet, tipping his top hat to cover his eyes. "... It's kinda like... The thing we do at night..." Chancey held up a finger before speaking up. "E-except stuffing the guard in the suit, of course! We don't do that!"
"... So let me get this straight... You, all three of you, thought we should turn a thing, we have been doing for years to kill people, into some sort of game?"
"..." Cody held up a hand. "M-may I leave..?" Apollo glanced at the man before nodding. The man quickly stood up, and ran out, nearly slamming into a person coming in. He looked down into Trucy's eyes. She looked back up, curiosity evident in her eyes. "What's going on..?"
Cody shook his head, shrugging. "I don't know, but your brother is really upset. He just keeps whispering, he hasn't yelled once, but I think it's actually more intimidating."
Said person was still standing over the three children as Foxy, which for some reason was forced into that form the second he walked into the building. No matter how hard he had tried, he couldn't change back to looking like a human, so he gave up, and had walked towards the cove.
She watched as each child displayed their nervous tick. Frank bit his lip as he stared at the ground, Billy's left hand flexed slightly before he tapped the guitar on his back. Chancey looked Apollo straight in the eye, her left eye though, twitched slightly. "Mr. Justice, please, we were just bored, we wanted to play a game. Even Mr. Day Guard agreed to play with us."
Apollo shook his head, narrowing his eyes. "I do not think you are understanding the point I am giving. The thing is, this is not something to take lightly of. People have died over this 'game', people who had families, friends, lives to live. And each one ended here. Would you like it if your murder turned into some sick joke?"
Frank tipped his hat up, looking up at the fox in curiosity. "Hasn't it already though..?" The man took his hat off, grabbing its rim as he spoke. "Sh-shouldn't me and Chancey be with D-Dad instead of being here... A-and shouldn't Billy be with his younger brother and Mom?" He wiped his eyes as tears fell down his face. "A-and what a-about you? I'm s-sure you have f-family somewhere that you saw i-in the a-afterlife! Don't you w-want to see them again?"
Billy nodded as he grabbed the top of his guitar, careful not to hit the strings. "Wh-who did you see Mr. J-Justice? You never t-told us!"
The fox seemed taken aback, blinking a few times as both of his eyes flickered black.
(A-Apollo..?)
He turned, and ran out of the room through the left doorway, nearly ramming into Trucy as he did. She blinked in shock, not hearing the questions coming from the three spirits until Chancey tapped Trucy's shoulder. "Ms. Wright... Do you have any idea who he saw..?"
She stared at her before looking in the direction he ran off. "... I think... I have a feeling I do."
("Monster monster monster~")
Apollo growled as he walked into his cove, smacking the side of his robotic head. "Shut up..."
("Don't deny Mr. Justice, we both know it's true. We both know the shocked face of your dearest friend from that... One visit after the bite.")
It was five days after the Bite, and still he refused to give up control to Foxy, to forget his human morals.
(I'm Apollo Justice, and I'm fine...)
He mumbled as he sat down, curled up into a ball in the form of Foxy. His tail swished across the ground slowly as he dragged a hook across his teeth. For some reason, he could taste the red liquid, and he was deeply afraid of this.
Even if he himself didn't do it, it was still his 'body' in a sense. If he could even call a giant robot that used to have his corpse inside of him a body. The mechanics nearly broke him after the Bite to find out what was wrong, and when someone found his body, they tore him open to drag it out.
Thankfully, they had shut him down when they did that, but only turned him back on after they safely placed him back in the Cove.
"... Why..? Why couldn't I just die normally..?" A black liquid akin to tears started leaking from his eyes as staticky sounds came from his voicebox.
He didn't hear footsteps approach him until the source of it coughed. He quickly turned, falling on his backside as he did.
A shadow loomed in front of the cove, a jacket draped over their shoulders like a cape of sorts, wild, dark hair on their head. "... Hello..?" The person, a man, walked forward, their face still shrouded in darkness. "... Who... Were you..?" Apollo scooted back as the man walked forward. "D-Don't touch me!"
"... And why not..?" Apollo tried to scoot back more, but ended up running into a wall. "H-h-have you been living under a r-r-rock? I-I bit a man! An innocent b-b-bystander!"
The man kneeled down, his face somehow still covered by shadows as he reached out. Apollo didn't move at all, only staring at the man's pale hand.
When the man did touch his face, he felt a searing pain in his right eye and chest. He roared as he snatched the hand, holding the man in the air. He growled as the man stared at him, his face suddenly clear of darkness.
Apollo stared at the face, narrowing his eye as he growled at the man, who now was staring at him, wide eyed. "What did you just do to me?!"
The man didn't answer, he only reached out using his other hand and touched the fox again, this time, his vision was blinded as he felt the searing pain.
He dropped to the ground, breathing heavily as he clutched his chest. His eye were closed, gritting his teeth as the man gasped. He felt a hand grab his shoulder before picking him up, making him sit up. Apollo looked around lazily before his eyes widened. He saw the animatronic he was inhabiting layed a few feet away.
He looked back at the man, who had silvery tears down his face. "A-Apollo? Is that really you?!"
"... Wait..." His eye widened, his mouth dropped as he realized who the dark haired man was. "Clay?!" The other man nodded eagerly, and Apollo finally noticed the large, red stain on the other man's shirt. "C-Clay I-I'm sorry I grabbed you... It just... Hurts..."
He looked down at himself, and was surprised to see him wearing his usual attorney outfit. He couldn't see out of one of his eyes if he tried, so he guessed that carried on into the afterlife as well. He was still missing his left hand, and he had a gaping hole in his chest.
What did surprise him were the chains that were wrapped around his body, and seemed to be anchored into the animatronic fox. The other man, Clay, noticed the chains too. "... I'm so, so, sorry Apollo. I wished I could have prevented this, people like you don't deserve death like this."
Apollo hugged himself as he nodded. "I know Clay... But I rather have it me than another child..." Apollo wiped his eyes, smudging the black tear tracks coming down his face. Clay noticed them too. "W-were you crying..?"
"... C-Clay... I almost killed a man this week." The other man was taken aback by this sudden fact, he shook his head as he narrowed his eyes. "No, the Apollo I know of would have never done that!"
"Maybe I'm not Apollo then..." Clay leaned forward, shaking the other man's chained shoulders. "Apollo, look at me. I came here for a reason."
"..." The man looked up, his remaining eye full of regret. "... What..?"
Clay clamped a hand down on his shoulder, frowning. "... Be Foxy."
"... What?!"
"I know you're afraid of this... Thing Apollo. But please, if you don't want to hurt anyone anymore, let the robot take control!"
"... Are you sure..?" Apollo glanced at the animatronic, shaking slightly. "I... I don't want to be a monster..."
Clay nodded, smiling slightly as he did. "I'm sure Apollo... I promise." He grabbed his friend, and dragged him into a hug, careful not to pull on the chains that wrapped around his friend. "I promise." Apollo blinked a few times, his hair nearly falling into his empty eye socket. "..." He returned the embrace, burying his face into his friend's shoulder. "I missed you so much!"
Clay laughed as he hugged the man tightly, silvery tears falling from his eyes as his friend cried ones of pitch black. "I missed you too buddy... I missed you too..."
("Admit it, before you knew who it was, you were going to kill him~")
Apollo now sat down, glaring at the chest as his eyes flickered.
("For shame though, that he could do that silly trick with your spirit... But this girl, your sister, she would be a nice addition to the family.")
"NO!" He gripped his head, his hook digging into his scalp. "You will not make me hurt Trucy. I have already hurt enough people..."
("And that's why you're a monster. You bit a man's skull off, you killed off so many guards, you even tried to rip your best friend's spirit to shreds. At least if you do this, your sister will be by your side.")
"... Apollo..?"
Apollo turned around, still sitting on the ground, to see Trucy standing in front of the cove entrance.
("Oh, there she is, why don't we get this over with? I don't want to fight you any longer.")
Apollo felt as if his spirit was being sucked into the animatronic, his gaze flickering to black in both of his eyes. He moaned as he gripped his head. "Trucy... You need to..." She shook her head as she ran into the cove, grabbing his hand. "Apollo, please, there has to be a way besides destroying you to stop this!"
Apollo slowly reached behind his head, only a flash of yellow remained on his animatronic eye. "Off... Now!"
She reached up, and felt the back of Apollo's head until she felt the switch. She pressed it, and immediately, he began to shake. His spirit trying to resist the shut down of the robot. Trucy kneeled down as Apollo shook on the ground, slowly curling in on himself. "Apollo..." His vision began to darken, the last thing he heard was Trucy's muffled sobbing...
((A:N: To be honest, I don't really feel like editing this now. I just wrote this all in one day, and I think it's an accomplishment in on itself. And I have to say, I'm really proud of myself. This is almost 5,000 words, which is the longest chapter I wrote for this fanfic. Also, I would like to thank anyone who has read this so far and supported it. This is halfway to 4,000 views, and I have to say, it makes me smile a bit every time I look at. Then again, it makes me feel awful since I haven't updated this in about a month. XD R&R, and remember, your flames warm my family!))
