Hello there! Red Captain reporting in! And my dear readers and comrades, I wish you a very merry Christmas! I made this chapter extra large as a Christmas gift, and included a large part of background of the story, including Flitzgerald descent to madness, the golden years of Freddy Fazbear's Pizza, and the day that marked Leonid's life forever, the day his best friend Reiskov died in battle… at first, I planned to have this be from the end of Leonid third shift, to the end of Leonid and Dragomir first night as spy partners, but I realized it would be waaaay too long, almost like 20k words long, so I decided to divide the two chapters, I will probably release the second part on new year,
Last chapter, Leonid got a new ally, Foxy! Everyone favorite character! Sadly, i am still looking for a good image that fits this story... very hard to find actually, on other issues, I will address the small issue of the languages, basically, when the spies group (Leonid, Borovsky, Dragomir, Feng, Myo) speak to each other, they do so in Russian, when Flitzgerald, Fritz, Fazritz and others loyal to Flitzgerald talk to each other, they do so in German, when the two groups interact with each other or with ordinary people, they do so in English, easy right? I will try to put the language they are speaking when they talk, "but, Red Captain, why do you care about the language? It just a small detail" you may ask, well, you know what they say, the little details makes something great! And also, I will be using more German/Russian words when our characters speak in that specific language, to spice up the dialogue a bit! Nothing too big, just the occasional "Da" "Nein" "Herr" "Nyet" "Privet" you know, also, a large part of the beginning in this chapter will be in The Puppet Master POV...Ok, enough with the author note! Time… for…
A Game Of Spies, Haunted Animatronics, And Demons
Chapter 5: Old Memories
[Puppet Master POV]
the glass shattered in dozens of pieces upon contact with the wall, the liquid all over the floor, our loyal servant, Fritz Smiths, cringes at our sudden outburst, we turn to him and begin to scream, speaking in German "HOW COULD THIS HAPPEN?! I WASN'T EXPECTING THIS KIND OF REACTION!" Fritz just stares and trembles, too scared to speak, we release another scream of anger and turn our attention back to the camera, Foxy and that little KGB shit, Leonid, were now allied, why the hell did we listened to that old bag Fazritz? Why?!
"FRITZ! I WANT YOU TO DISMANTLE THAT FOX AND KILL THE GUARD IMMEDIATELY!" we scream, Fritz immediately recovers from his initial shock, and begins to stammer "B-B-B-But s-s-sir we c-can't j-j-just kill them, w-w-what a-abut the experiment? I-I can't do t-this, Herr Flitzgerald! N-Nein, Herr Flitzgerald! Nein!" we stop our ranting to stare at the man in the eyes, we slowly approach while he keeps mumbling "N-Nein, Herr Flitzgerald! We can't do that!" we scream and slap him in the face, angered over being called Flitzgerald ~How many times we've to tell our subordinates that Flitzgerald is no more?~ we think as we slap him again.
"SHUT UP! NEVER CALL ME FLITZGERALD AGAIN! ONLY IN PUBLIC, YOU BASTARD! TO YOU I AM HERR PUPPET MASTER" we yell on his face, Fritz immediately shuts up and nods, hands on his cheeks, we stomp our way back to the desk, sitting down on the chair in front of it , we look at the several screens showing every angle of Freddy Fazbear Pizza from hidden cameras with disgust, watching as that two nuisances, Foxy and Leonid, shook hands
"The Traitor and The Spy" we muttered, finally calming down, watching as Leonid slowly broke the handshake and approached the coffee machine, opening and examining it, looking for those damn clues Zang left, we had just recently acquired knowledge about the clues, when we saw the recording of Leonid foolishly hearing the first message on his office… but we couldn't find them, we were unable to find and remove them! we had to remove all traces of those clues from the pizzeria… but they were too well hidden…
"H-Herr Puppet Master, I beg you to reconsider your decision, we can't kill the night guard directly, if we send our agents to terminate him and the fox immediately, we will be one step away from mastering The Joy Of Creation, please Herr Puppet Master, do this for the greater good of humanity! The experiment is going great! If Leonid discovers the secret like Zang, Mike, and Frank did before him, he will be ready to embrace the Joy Of Creation! And we will be one step closer to fulfilling our experiment!" Fritz said, his eyes drifting off as he talked, day dreaming about a successful experiment, actually sighing when he thought about it… wishing for it.
Suddenly, something snapped in our mind… Fritz, one of his most loyal followers, had said something very similar to Fazritz… only that Fritz actually seemed to want it, he desired it, he hoped for it… and Fazritz didn't… this worried us greatly, we scratched our chin, still looking the cameras, watching as Leonid removed what seemed to be a chip from the coffe machine, and another small device he couldn't identify… but he only watched, he didn't paid attention, we were too worried about Fazritz… ~What is he is unloyal? What if he is working against us? Conspiring against our power?~
"Herr Puppet Master, your final decision?" our thoughts were interrupted by Fritz, we slowly remove our sunglasses and turn our head to face him, staring directly at his eyes, our servant is scared at first, but seconds later admiration and envy begins to grow in his eyes… when we show our eyes, one of the marks of our success in the Joy Of Creation, to Fazritz, he just cringes and looks away, disgusted… this worries us deeply… maybe Fazritz isn't as loyal as he seems after all…
"we apology, Mr. Smith, for this small outburst, we're just mad that this guard had the courage to shoot the Animatronics and forge an alliance with a Traitor to our glorious cause… don't listen to the orders we gave, you are right, terminating the guard and the fox would be a huge mistake, we will let both of them live and let the Game continue… call Fazritz, tell him we won't open the restaurant today, tell him to spend the day in The Factory to watch the development of our fellow new Animatronics, and when the guard leaves, with the help of your fellow scientists and engineers, repair the Animatronics, luckily they aren't damaged to the point of "Dying", they can be repaired, other of the great benefits of the Joy Of Creation…" we say, releasing a quick laugh before continuing
"dispatch two armed guards in front of Pirate Cove, we need to keep an eye on that fox, make sure he doesn't escapes, give the workers who aren't part of our organization the day free, except for Leonid and that new security guard who is coming today, make sure to leave everything in order before they arrive at 12:00, and Fritz… you and your scientists have a new task, try to find a way to make the animatronics more resistant to bullets, we don't want this situation to repeat itself, now, inform me about our prisoners, are they ready to embrace The Joy Of Creation?" we look at Fritz expectantly, waiting for a reply
"Herr Puppet Master, I am pleased to inform you that Subjects A-7 is ready to embrace The Joy Of Creation! The Animatronic assigned to him is fully programmed now, and he is fully ready now, But I recommend waiting a couple of weeks, there is still a small chance for the ritual to fail, if we want to be 100% sure for it to work, we must wait more" Fritz said, we nod, satisfied, and motion for him to leave with our hand, Fritz nodded and quickly left the room, leaving us alone to think, we turned our attention back to the camera, the Traitor and the Spy were now on the Office, we sighed and closed our eyes, drifting off…
we opened our eyes, we are now seeing everything from Chica perspective, "M-M-Master, I am I-I-injured! Help" we instantly recognized Chica voice, begging for our help inside her mind "Taking control" we simply say, ignoring her pleads, the chicken releases a low scream, that stops after a moment, it's a very painful process when we posses the Animatronics, Chica now only controls her thoughts, we control her body, we slowly stand up, ignoring her injuries and wounds, and begin to walk towards the backstage.
We open the door of the backstage and enter, the two Animatronics inside, Bonnie and Freddy, immediately stand up, and bow after seeing Chica eyes, black with white dots in the center, the most clear sign that we are possessing a body "You've failed in your mission to dismantle the Traitor, we're very disappointed by your failure, don't let this happen again or punishment will be severe, today you will be repaired, I don't want more mistakes tonight, don't try anything for the rest of this nuisance shift, that's all" we say, using Chica's mouth to talk, immediately after finishing our talking, we release Chica and return to our human body.
We scratch our chin as we watch the Traitor and the Spy, safe inside the office, doing nothing, the Spy occasionally checking the cameras or his watch, we do nothing but watch as the minutes fly away, thinking about how to deal with those nuisances indirectly, and considering the possibility of Fazritz not being as loyal as we think, when suddenly the phone in our desk begins ringing, already knowing who is calling, we quickly take it and put it on our ear, calmly beginning to talk "Guten Nacht, Mr. Fazritz, what do you need?"
"Its 5:30 A.M, Herr Flitzgerald, I wouldn't call this a good night, and I am calling to question you about some issues, Mr. Smith just called me to inform me the Pizzeria won't open today because they are repairing the Animatronics, please tell me what the hell is going on, why are you repairing the Animatronics? Did something happened to them? what about Foxy? Did you managed to dismantle him? Is Leonid dead? I've many questions!" the voice of Mr. Fazritz coming out of the device, the bastard called us Flitzgerald again…
"yet again you call me Flitzgerald, when the hell will you understand that he doesn't exists anymore? We are Herr Puppet Master! Not Herr Flitzgerald! And to answer your various questions, Frederick, yes, the pizzeria won't open for the day, your presence isn't required, I suggest for you to go to the Factory to inspect the construction of the new Animatronics, Fazritz, yes, we are repairing the Animatronics, why? Because the night guard shoot them with a Makarov pistol, I am starting to think letting the Animatronics try to dismantle Foxy as part of the experiment was a colossal mistake, the guard has forged an alliance with the Traitor! Don't worry, Mr. Smith and his scientists will soon begin to work to make them more resistant, we must adapt them to fight against the guard… you know Mr. Fazritz, we are facing the very same situation we had when Zeng was the night guard, forging an alliance with Foxy, fighting back… this is unacceptable!" we say, our tone going higher and higher until we are practically screaming.
"Calm Down, as I've said before, you will always be my old friend, Flitzgerald, even if you've merged with that… thing, lets just forget about that issue, and focus on Leonid, you tell me he used a Makarov pistol to fight against the Animatronics? Strange, he must have got it when he escaped the Soviet Union… and he forged an alliance with Foxy? Very interesting…" Fazritz voice replies, trying to calm us down
we release a short laugh at Fazritz ignorance, interrupting him "no, Frederick, Leonid Victorovsky never escaped the Soviet Union, he is a spy of the KGB, he was sent here, I discovered it when I watched the recordings, remember Zang, the Chinese spy? The bastard left messages scattered all around the restaurant… I watched him listen to one of the messages in his office, they are related to each other, Fazritz! There is no doubt about it, Mr. Victorovsky is here to save Zang, although luckily, it seems that they only know that he disappeared here, I am supposing the Chinese fool never told anyone about what happened here… its ironic, isn't it, Frederick? We are facing our old enemy yet again, and they have absolutely no idea of who they are facing…"
there is silence in the line. After a few minutes, Fazritz voice comes out of the phone "impossible… Leonid, a KGB member? I can't believe this… our old enemies are here, fighting against us once again… but they don't know who they are facing… they must not find out, Herr Flitzgerald! If they find out who we are, we are doomed! Oh god, this can't be happening again!"
"Silence, Frederick! They won't find out, if we are lucky, Leonid will find out the secret and we will capture him and force him to embrace the Joy Of Creation, which will gain us another servant, if he fails, he will just die, but before we either force him to embrace the Joy Of Creation, or die, we will interrogate him and when he talks… we will wipe out the threat they pose, now, Frederick, hang the phone and get some sleep, then go to the Factory and inspect the new Animatronics, that's all, Goodbye" we said, immediately hanging the phone after finishing.
We look at the cameras again, and realize its 6:30 AM now, we talked with Fazritz for an hour, Leonid is gone and Foxy is back at Pirate Cove, we look at the Backstage monitor, and smile as engineers, mechanics, scientists and other people loyal to our cause come out of a secret trapdoor in the Backstage, the engineers immediately grab Chica, the most damaged of the Animatronics, and put her in a table, others bringing materials, meanwhile we smile, satisfied as the pizzeria comes to life, we watch Fritz stands in the middle of the Dinning Area and begins to give orders to everyone, two men with assault rifles, a grayish uniform, and bulletproof vests come out of the secret trapdoor backstage and on Fritz indication, the two of them get in front of Pirate Cove.
Two agents are in the reception, returning all employees who have no knowledge and aren't part of our experiment back to their homes, and letting in the few ones involved in, after about 30 minutes, everyone is in place, the engineers, scientists, and mechanics in the backstage fixing the Animatronics, the armed guards in front of Pirate Cove to watch Foxy, the agents in the entrance not allowing anyone in, and the few others cleaning up the mess, satisfied, we stand up and look around the room, this was our personal office and home… our underground home
Unknown to most people, a whole new building laid below the pizzeria, bigger than the official building in the surface, a large system of several rooms connected by long halls formed the Headquarters of our organization, on the center of the underground building, the Main Office was located, a big, circular room , decorated with several flags of our organization in the walls, a couple of bookshelves full of books in a corner, on another corner, a glass case displaying our Father's old uniform, and there was a big circular desk that occupied most of the center of the room, on the right side of the desk several monitors were located, showing every single angle of the Pizzeria and The Headquarters, on the left several papers, documents, informs, and several other pieces of paperwork were located, on the front side, a computer and a phone, and on the back, a small opening to enter and exit the desk.
Four doors, similar to the ones in the Office of the Pizzeria, were placed on the North, South, East, and West of the office, one door per point, the four of them able to be closed and opened with a button in the desk, each door leading to a different wing of The Headquarters.
Connected to The Main Office by a long hall accessible from the northern door was the North Wing, also called The Experimental Wing, right at the end of the hall, a large room was located, The Lab, a large room where most of the experiment was carried out, on that room the Joy Of Creation was studied and the Animatronics were programmed, similary to the Main Office, a door on the left connected The Lab with another room, The Assembly Room, which was basically a bigger, more equipped version of the Backstage in the surface, if the Animatronics suffered heavy damage, they were brought there. It dealt with the more physical aspects of the Animatronics while The Lab dealt with the electrical aspects.
On the north of the lab, another door was located, connecting it to The Creation Room, a mostly ceremonial room, in that room the whole process for The Joy Of Creation to work properly was carried on, a door on the right of the room also led to a large circular hall that itself led to the East Wing, on the right of The Lab a final door was located, leading to The Testing Room, where the Animatronics were tested, their resistance, their abilities, their weakness, their strength.
Back to The Main Office, the eastern door led to a mess of different halls and rooms, The Eastern Wing also called The Home Wing, a large hall connected this Wing to the office, this hall divided itself on several other halls that spreader all around the Wing, on the northern part of the Wing, several rooms were connected to each other by more halls, this area was called The Barracks, the different rooms were full of beds, drawers, closets, and other things where most of the members of the organization lived, most of them had to sacrifice all their time to the cause after all, this area was directly connected to the North Wing, specifically to The Creation Room, by a large circular hall, on the southern area of the Wing, a large, single room was located, the Living Room, a room full of tables, couches, and several Televisions, after all, the members of the organization needed recreation every once in a while, on the Eastern Area, another single, medium sized room was located, the Prison, were the captured guards that had managed to pass the First Phase of the experiment resided, waiting until they were ready to embrace The Joy Of Creation,
The southern door in The Main Office led to yet another Wing, the Southern Wing, or The Armory, it was simply a large room full of several rifles, guns, machine guns, riot shield, bulletproof vests and helmets, and Animatronic parts, similary to the East and North wings, it was connected to the East hall by a large circular hall that led to the Living Room.
The final and lest important wing was located on the west, The West Wing, or just The Entrance, was very simple, just a big, rectangular room, with four columns on each side and several chairs and tables all around, leading both to The Main Office on the right, and to a small, square room with a staircase that led to a hidden entrance to The Backstae.
A whole new and different building hidden below a children Pizzeria…. Who could possibly suspect about that?
The KGB of course… those pests, they suspected of everything, it was necessary to deal with them in order to be safe… years without obstacles in our way, not even the night guards who informed the police were a threat, after all, we had the police in our pockets with the numerous bribes… but this was the first and only real threat we would face, forget about the CIA, the KGB was the real threat.
"Herr Puppet Master, these Animatronics are too damaged to be repaired in The Backstage, we are taking them to The Assembly Room" the voice of Fritz Smith got us out of our thoughts, we turned around to face the west door, several scientists and mechanics, with Fritz leading them, were carrying the three main Animatronic through his office towards the North Wing, of course, the West Wing lacked connection with the circular hall connecting the North, East, and South, so people entering The Headquarters usually passed through his office.
We stood up, nodding at the group of scientists and mechanics as they carried the Animatronics to the North Wing, following closely behind, we were going to check on the progress in the programming of the two new Animatronic's programming soon anyways, we walked down the hallway, always close to the band of scientists, as we arrived to The Lab, the scientist began to walk to the left, towards The Assembly Room, parting our ways, we looked around the Lab, three groups of scientists were surrounding three different points, we approached the closest one, curious to see the progress of our employees
As we approached, Leonardo Di Gami, the scientists leading Project A-8, looked up, locking his eyes with ours, the scientist immediately stopped working and approached, smiling and extending a hand towards us "Herr Puppet Master, its an honour to see you, what brings you here to The Lab, and to my group?" Di Gami said, speaking German with an Italian Accent, we smile and shake his hand, replying "Mr. Di Gami, I come here to inspect your progress, how is your Animatronic going? Is his programming complete? Is he ready to embrace The Joy Of Creation?" Di Game smiles and, grabbing us by the arm, leads us closer to the center of the group of scientists, who begin to back off, revealing what they were surrounding.
A large, humanoid Chinese Dragon laid upside down in a metal table, several panels in its arms, legs, back, and head were opened, wires connecting it to several computers around the table, the Animatronic had a green color, but we managed to catch a small glimpse of a golden color in its underbelly, as we examined the robot, Di Gami began to speak excitedly "we are making a lot of progress, Herr Puppet Master! I calculate that this Animatronic will be fully sentient and ready for The Joy Of Creation in a couple of weeks! But we aren't sure about the prisoner, our preparation of Subject A-8 isn't going quickly, just recently we discovered that he somehow managed to avoid the necessary drugs, of course, we are forcefully preparing him for The Joy now, but his force of will is very strong, his mind is rejecting the preparation, but I can't increase his doses or we will run the risk of an overdose…" we ignored the scientists as he continued his speech, instead focusing on examining the Animatronic.
"Di Gami, shut the fuck up! You and your speeches are very annoying and Herr Puppet Master doesn't needs to deal with your shit! Now get back to work! Herr Puppet Master, I've something far more important and interesting to show you, please follow me" the voice of Fritz Smith said, interrupting the annoying scientist, who quietly got back to work with his group, we turned around, facing Fritz, who saluted and began to walk to the left, to the Testing Room, curious, we followed him, hoping that he would show us something important as he claimed.
We entered the Testing Room, following Fritz, revealing the large room, we immediately noticed what Fritz wanted to show us, two Animatronics stood on the center of the room, as they entered the room, one of the Animatronics, a feline-like creature, began to walk towards them "This is Linus The Lynx, Herr Puppet Master! We just finished him, he is assigned to Subject A.7, he is fully programmed now, he is technically sentient now, he just needs a small period of time for him to develop his sentience further, and we will be ready to embrace The Joy Of Creation" Fritz said proudly as the Animatronic walked to them.
"Guten Tag! I am Linus the Lynx, Ich play the Accordion on the Fazbear band! You are not children, who are you?" Linus said, speaking in English but with a thick, German accent and mixing German with English, we examined him, he was indeed a lynx, an humanoid lynx, an orange, humanoid lynx with black stripes in his body "I am your master, you shall address me as Herr Puppet Master at all times and obey all my commands, understood, Linus?" we say aggressively, the Animatronic backs off, surprised by our response, and slowly nods, turning around and walking back to the center of the room.
The second Animatronic slowly begins to approach and our attention immediately drifts towards him, it was a humanoid, white horse, we recognize him as the successful result of Project A-6, the Animatronic slowly begins to speak, talking In a marked French accent in a similar fashion to Linus, in English but mixing several French words in his speech "B-Bonjour, Puppet Master, Je suiz Horace Le Horse, at your service, I will follow each command you give me, Puppet Master" we smile, happy to see that the former Franklin Johnson, the first night guard to successfully survive and find out the secret, the first night guard to pass the First Phase, the night guard who defied and challenged us after his capture for so long, the night guard who ultimately, unwillingly and without knowing it, helped us by recording his messages, increasing the probabilities of the guards surviving and finding out the secret, now turned into a glorious Animatronic, a French horse bent to our will, it was so satisfactory…
"Its good to see a disciplined Animatronic, Harold, you will soon perform in The Pizzeria in the surface, we will deal with the instrument later" we say as the Animatronic slowly walks back to the center of the room, Fritz applauds and laughs, begigning to talk "Great, Herr Puppet Master! I think we will be able to get both of the Animatronics to perform on Monday!" we smile as we slowly exit the room, a radiant Fritz following closely
"yes… to perform and to hunt down the Night Guards"
[Leonid POV]
Leonid Frantically slammed his department door shut, ignoring the surprised looks of his comrades inside "H-H-He knows! He knows I am from the KGB! We are not safe anymore Comrades! He knows!" he screams in Russian as he walks around the deparment, looking around, Feng, Dragomir, and an Asian woman he didn't knew were sitting down on some chairs, looking at him surprised, Borovksy, who was standing up before Leonid entered, immediately approached him and grabbed him by the shoulders, shaking him "What the hell are you talking about, Lieutenant? Sit down right now and explain yourself" Borovsky said, forcing him to sit down in an unoccupied chair.
"B-But s-sir! This is very important! THEY KNOW! THEY KNOW WE ARE FROM THE KGB SIR!" he yelled, just after those words left his mouth, the Colonel slapped him hard across the face, shutting him up "Calm down, Lieutenant Victorovsky! calm down and explain what the fuck happened there! I won't tolerate reactions like this under my command, so explain yourself or I swear I will demote you and let Feng take your place!" Borovsky said calmly, slapping him again to make his message clear, Leonid slowly nodded and took a deep breath, calming himself down.
"I am terrible sorry, Comrade Colonel, its just that several strange things happened during my shift, this reaction won't be repeated again, Sir, I swear"he said as soon as he calmed down, staring at the Colonel eyes, Borovsky nodded and said "Apology accepted, Comrade Lieutenant, now tell us the cause of your behavior"
he sighed, looking at everyone in the room, and began to speak "I arrived early at Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria, as you all know, when I arrived, I was welcomed by a German man in a suit, Fritz Smith, who claimed to be a former night guard in an old establishment of the company, then we both entered the Dining area, where I noticed that the Animatronics were missing, Mr. Fazritz and a strange man with a suit and sunglasses were on their place, discussing, Fazritz, Fazritz greeted me and presented the strange man, Jeremy Flitzgerald, to me, and then they all left…this is were the weird things began, after a moment of waiting for my shift to start so I could go to my office, Flitzgerald approached me, and, talking in perfect Russian, but with a very noticeable German accent, informed me that he was aware of my struggles in the night shift, I of course got angry by this and confronted him… and the bastard just laughed and called me Comrade Lieutenant Victorovsky, I admit that I got out of my mind at that moment, I got scared and backed off, Flitzgerald then proceeded to inform me that he knew I was from the KGB, and threatened to tell the CIA about our cell if we informed anyone outside our organization about the events of the Pizzeria…"
"HE KNOWS WHAT?!" Borovsky screamed, interrupting him, Leonid noticed that the Colonel was now pale and his eyes were full of anger and terror, in an attempt to calm him down, he said "Comrade Colonel Borovsky! please calm down! Let me continue with the sto…" he was interrupted by a scream of rage coming from the Colonel, who immediately began to walk around the room, holding his head "the CIA knows then! Captain Zeng was right! the CIA is indeed tampering with those Animatronics! I am sorry Comrades, but we will have to abort this mission, I will inform Moscow about this and hopefully we will be able to return, this is too dangerous, the CIA knows…" Borovsky said as he walked around, looking at the people in the department
Feng, with anger in his eyes, stood up and slammed his fist on the table, producing a loud sound, and began to scream "DAMN YOU, COWARD! WE ARE NOT GOING TO LEAVE WITHOUT ZANG!" everyone was surprised by the Chinese man courage to speak to a superior officer like that, everyone but Borovsky, who, growling in anger, began to walk towards Feng "you dare to speak to a superior officer like that, YOU SCUM?!" every wordraised the volume of the conversation, to the point of having the Colonel screaming
"I am an agent of the MSS, old bag! You have no authority over me, cowardly scum!" Feng said, walking forward until he was ace to face with the Colonel, the Asian woman stood up and pointed at Borovsky, anger in her eyes "You are a coward, Colonel! I support Comrade Feng in this! we won't leave without Captain Zang! I didn't know that Eastern European agents were such pussies!" at this insult, Dragomir immediately stood up, his chair falling to the ground, and glaring to the Asian woman, he began to scream "YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO SPEAK LIKE THAT ABOUT THE GLORIOUS KGB!"
"THAT'S IT! YOU TWO JUST SIGNED YOUR DEATH SENTENCE! I AM GOING TO EXECUTE YOU SHITS RIGHT NOW!" Borovsky screamed, out of his mind, taking his gun, Feng and the Asian woman took theirs and aimed them at the Colonel, Dragomir, alarmed, took his and placed it in the Asian Woman head, tension was high, nobody knew who was going to press the trigger first, if Borovsky shoot first, Feng would be down, but the Asian woman would kill him, and Dragomir would in turn shoot her, if Feng shoot first, the Colonel would die, Dragomir would shoot the Asian woman, and the quickest one would kill the other, this fight promised only two survivors, Leonid and either Dragomir or Feng.
Just then, as Leonid sat down, watching the fight escalate, he understood everything ~Flitzgerald… this is what he wants… the bastard wants to divide us ~ he thought, alarmed, he immediately stood up "ALL OF YOU, CALM THE FUCK DOWN! ARE YOU TOO BLIND TO SEE?! THIS IS WHAT THEY WANT! WE ARE BROTHERS, YOU IDIOTS! WE ARE BROTHERS IN ARMS AND THEY WANT TO DIVIDE US! THEY WANT US TO BE WEAK AND DIVIDED SO THEY CAN CRUSH US MORE EASILY! DON'T YOU SEE THIS, COMRADES? IF ANY OF YOU PRESSES THAT TRIGGER, HALF OF US WILL BE DEAD, AND FLITZGERALD WILL BE VICTORIOUS!" he screamed, geveryone in the room turned their heads around to face him, but with their guns still aimed at each other
First, he approached Borovsky "Comrade Colonel, just a moment early you reprimanded me for losing my mind, and now you are doing the exact same thing! Why are you cowering out of the mission?! Where is the strict, strong Professor Borovsky I knew as a child? where is the ruthless and fearless Sub-Lieutenant Borovsky I fought with? Where is the old Borovsky?! the one that would never back away from a mission at the slightest threat!?"
Not waiting for a response from the startled Colonel, he turned around to face Feng "Feng, I meet you yesterday, and to be honest, I disliked you and your silly, edgy attitude, but at the same time, I saw a strong and confident man, and although you claim not to trust us, I know you would give your life for the cause and for the man who is like a father to you, don't worry, we aren't going to leave this mission, we aren't going to be stomped by our enemies, we are going to resist and be victorious, or we will perish in the attempt, but if you shoot Borovsky right now, you will have no chance to save Zang, remember, Strenght In Unity, Comrade"
He walked to the Asian woman, and opened his mouth to speak, but nothing came out from it ~Damn you, stupid brain!~ he thought, he had just noticed how beautiful the woman was, causing him to lightly blush "Err… the s-same message for you, Strength In Unity, don't shoot the Colonel, lower your gun, we are all brothers and sisters in this, standing together to fight against our rivals, Borovsky just suffered a slight panic attack, and I am sure he is well now, so lower your gun…" he said, trying his best to hide his stuttering and blushing, but it only got worse, his blush increasing, he turned around to face the man who was becoming his best friend, Dragomir Godov
"Comrade Dragomir, I was assigned to be your mentor, and I have a very good advise to offer you, don't let your ego and pride get in the way, you're not fit for this job if you explode at the slightest insult, now, this woman was wrong in insulting us, but that doesn't means you have to shoot her, so lower your gun, my friend, and never, never let your ego and pride get in the path of reason!" he said, walking backwards until he was facing everyone, he was confident and sure in the outside, but deep inside him, he feared that his comrades would ignore him, one of them would press the trigger, and whoever survived, Dragomir or Feng, would execute him for getting in their paths.
To his relief, everyone lowered their guns, looking ashamed and staring at each others in an apologizing manner, an awkward silence immediately followed, a few minutes later, Borovsky was the first to break the silence "I-In no-normal c-circumstances, Leonid, I would've probably demoted you for going against me, b-but you are r-right, and I am ashamed and sorry for my reaction, I am indeed an hypocrite and I hope everyone can forgive me, I don't know what happened to me, we aren't going to abandon this mission, I am truly sorry…" The Colonel said, looking down, ashamed of himself.
Feng slowly nodded "apology accepted, comrade, and you've earned a bit of my respect today, Comrade Victorovsky" slowly, the Chinese man raised a hand, and hesitantly, Borovsky took it, shaking it, everyone shook hands and apologized, all ashamed of their behavior, his four Comrades slowly walked back to the table and sat down on their respective chairs, Borovsky ceding his seat to Leonid as there were only four chairs, thanking the Colonel with a nod, he slowly sat down, looking around.
"Well, Brothers and Sisters, let this incident stay in the past, we shall not bring it up ever again, understood?" he asked, everyone nodded, he sighed in relief and continued his interrupted story "well, as I was saying, yes, this man, Flitzgerald, revealed that he knew I was a KGB member and threatened to inform the CIA about it we revealed anything to other sources outside our respective organizations, and good news, my friends! This man can't possibly be from the CIA, as he threatened us to reveal our operations to the CIA… if he was indeed a member of the CIA, we would be rotting in a prison, so, that's a good thing, the CIA probably isn't involved in this…"
nobody had considered that in the middle of the chaos Borovsky started, and his four comrades sighed in relief… until Borovsky became visibly alarmed again and stood up "they are not CIA… Fritz Smith, Frederick Fazritz, Jeremy Flitzgerald… Leonid, they were speaking German right?" the Colonel said, staring right at his eyes, he thought for a moment and nodded "Yes Colonel, they were all speaking in German… why, do you have any idea of who they are?" he asked, curious, Borovsky slowly sat down again, with fear in his eyes, and shook his head "I suspect a bit about who they are… and I strongly hope they are not what I think they are, I would prefer to face the CIA if they are part of what I suspect… continue with your tale, Lieutenant"
Leonid, a bit surprised at the Colonel sudden fear, and continued "Flitzgerald revealed that he had a surprise for me when the shift began, then I committed a very, very stupid thing, I punched the bastard in the face, of course, he wasn't very happy, and stood up to face me… without his sunglasses… you won't believe the horror I saw, Comrades, his eyes… his eyes were pitch black, with white dots in the center, he stared at me for a while, and then put his sunglasses back on and left, I of course went to my office, scared by that, and waited for my shift to begin… and as soon as the clock struck 12:00, a recording began to play… it was Mr. Fazritz, he informed me that it was too risky to reveal much… but he gave me weird and precious information, first of all, he confirmed my suspicions about the Animatronics being sentient, and controlled by another force, in this case, Mr. Flitzgerald, who also calls himself The Puppet Master…"
Feng snickered, interrupting Leonid's speech, he looked at him raising an eyebrow, and the Chinese agent released a laugh and began to speak "Sorry Comrade, its just that I find funny that we are facing an arrogant enemy… The Puppet Master, I suppose he names himself like that because he controls the Animatronics and his followers like puppets… god, this is almost like a movie… please continue"
Leonid nodded, frustrated by so many interruptions, and continued "as I was saying, Fazritz claimed that the Animatronics meant no harm, and that they were being forced to do these things by The Puppet Master, he begged for me to free them from his control, and also claimed that Flitzgerald… merged with another being, creating The Puppet Master, I know this sounds a bit unrealistic and supernatural, but, hell, we have fucking sentient Animatronics tyring to kill me, I am starting to believe in these supernatural shit…now, remember that I was almost killed by that fat, giant Chicken on my third night, and that I somehow survived? Well… I am pleased to inform you that apparently, one Animatronic broke free from The Puppet Master control, and is trying to help us, that's right, ladies and gentlemen, we have an ally!" he looked around hoping to see their reaction
Dragomir was the first to speak, releasing a loud sigh "Comrade Leonid, I have no intention to disrespect you, but this sounds like complete bullshit! These Animatronics aren't sentient! They are just that, Animatronics controlled by Flitzgerald, the man probably has mental problems and that's why he thinks he merged with another being, we are just facing a crazy man who controls robots, that's all! " Dragomir said.
He facepalmed, and frustrated, began to speak "How do you explain what I saw in his eyes when his sunglasses fell, Godov? You are too closed minded, these Animatronics are sentient, and I believe that you are going to start working as a secondary night guard this night, so you better start believing in this shit, or I will fucking let you outside the office so you see for yourself if these devils are sentient or not, understood?" Dragomir, surprised at our reaction, nodded and shut his mouth.
The Asian woman was the next to speak "Comrade Victorovsky, I believe in you and your tale, you earned my respect with your intervention in… the incident, and I fully trust in you, s you can count me in this Friday when Feng and I break into the pizzeria to help you, also, I believe we haven't met, I am Sergeant Myo Si Yeon of the SSN, at your service!" he blushed and noticed Myo was very enthusiastic to start contributing for the mission, they both stood up and shook hands, Leonid muttering "Lieutenant Leonid Victorovsky"
Feng simply shrugged and said "my opinion is the same, I believe in your tale" Leonid turned around to see Borovsky, who shrugged and nodded.
Happy to see everyone trusted him, Leonid began to tell the last part of his tale "the little surprise Flitzgerald had for me was that the three main Animatronics, Freddy Fazbear, Bonnie the Bunny, and Chica the Chicken, were going to dismantle Foxy the Pirate Fox, the Animatronic allied to us, during my shift, of course, a big battle happened, and at the end I decided to intervene and save the fox live, and in turn the fox saved my life, and I mildly trust the Animatronic right now, Comrades, this completely changes any plan you had right now, as we have one Animatronic as an ally now, so, yeah, lets start planning yet again!"
"Great, fucking great! I spent all day making the plan for the rest of the week, Godov, do something useful and bring us the map!" Borovsky said, glaring at Dragomir, who immediately stood up and ran towards the bedroom, returning after a moment with the map Leonid had drawn on his first day, along with a red, blue, yellow, brown, and black poker chips, leaving it all in the table and sitting down again, suddenly, Leonid remembered something, the chip! "wait Colonel! Don't do anything yet! I brought the first and second message of Comrade Zang!" he said excitedly as he stood up and ran to the computer, taking the two red chips from his pocket and inserting the first one in the device.
"quickly, Comrades, gather around! This is important!" he said as he began to search the files of the computer and opened the one containing Zang message, everyone quickly rushed and surrounded the computer and he played the message, listening to it with attention, 30 minutes later, the message ended, and he took out the first chip and inserted the second one "Here comes the second one, Comrades, lets see what Zang has in storage for us" he muttered as he opened the file and played the video.
Zang appeared on the computer screen, similar to his first message, he was wearing a security cap and Leonid noticed the man had more bruises and cuts, a couple of seconds passed, and the man began to speak:
"Hello Comrade, we meet yet again, if you are seeing this, then most probably you already watched my first message, I did a really good job in that pizzeria… the first message activated the process to find the second one, and when you removed the chip from the Coffee machine in the kitchen, it started the process for the third clue, It's a very complex system actually, but I am not here to talk about that… I am here to record messages with information about my progress, either to present it to my superiors If I have success in my mission, or to help in my rescue in case I get captured"
"I am happy to inform you, whoever is listening to this, that two days ago, my second night of the second week, I captured and deactivated an Animatronic, Chica to be precise, now, I have some experience with electronic devices… and you won't believe what I found, the programming of these Animatronics is the most complex thing I've ever seen, very surprising actually, I couldn't stay on the small space of my office, so I brought her somewhere else, Pirate Cove, how? I deactivated Foxy too, surprisingly, the Animatronic didn't offered much resistance, it just.. stared as I entered and moved its jaws."
"I wasn't bothered for the whole night, Comrade, it was glorious, I am still surprised and amazed on the complexity of these robots, Its may sound weird, Comrade, but trust me when I say this to you, these Animatronics are sentient, they are basically almost like humans, metallic humans in the form of animals… I spent two whole shift studying their programming, and I didn't even scratched the surface, Comrade! Its wonderful, I can already see that this information will be of great use for the Bloc, which increases the need of these messages in case I disappear"
"along with this recording, you will find a document with all the things I managed to get, unfortunately, I won't be able to study them today, I still have my primary job, after all… find the CIA agents responsible for this and stop them, you know, if I am successful I will probably recommend this pizzeria as a base for Cominterm spying in this city, hell, this state, even better, this whole country, I am sure Soviet scientists will go mad in happiness when they see the programming of these Animatronics, my government will go crazy with the chance of building sentient robots, and even the North Koreans will be very pleased to have a base for spying…"
"but there is still a long path for this to happen, and I will have to suffer and work a lot to fulfill this goal, today I will take a small risk and look around the pizzeria for any clue about CIA intervention… although the programming is enough for me, I am 100% convinced that the CIA is involved in all of this! also, recently I saw a strange man with Mr. Fazritz in the pizzeria yesterday, he wore a black suit and sunglasses, although he was inside a building, as soon as our eyes meet, the man turned around and walked to the Backstage, funny thing is that immediately after that I checked the cameras, but he wasn't on the Backstage when I checked, but he didn't even exited it… I think that maybe there is something hidden there"
"also, I haven't informed my agency about anything, not a single thing about it… why? Because I prefer to work alone, if I informed them about all I've seen before I finished the job, they would swarm me with unwanted support and partners that would block my path, its better to work alone, specially in this kind of missions, I know this may sound a bit… rebellious, buts for the greater good, I will inform them about this if I am successful anyways, so there is no harm in not informing them now"
"a funny thing, yesterday I shoot Bonnie because he cornered me while exiting Pirate Cove and I lacked my usual weapons, so I had no other choice but to fill that rabbit with bullets, but the next shift, he was completely repaired! Another clue that points to CIA involvement of course"
"that's all I've to tell you, Comrade, just that, I studied the programming of the Animatronics and nothing else, I will remind you to search for the document I wrote In this chip, it contains detailed information about their programming, although you will probably need a good engineer to understand it… do you like video games? If you do, check out the arcade! I love Tetris, but before checking that one, you should play a bit of Race Masters, that's all, Comrade, and good luck, se you next time!"
the message ended there, the computer screen returning to the files, Borovsky, with a satisfied look in his face, clapped and went to sit on a chair, yelling to Dragomir "Godov, check the document containing Zang information about the programming of the Animatronics and print it, then I want you to study it, then I want you to sleep! go on!" Dragomir immediately began to work on the computer while everyone else sat down around the table, looking at the map and at the poker chips.
Borovsky picked up two black chips and put them in the office "You and Godov" he said, then he placed a red chip on Pirate Cove "Foxy, our supposed Ally" finally he placed a yellow chip, a blue chip, and a brown chip in the Show Stage "Chica, Bonnie and Freddy"
"The original plan was for you one of you to look clues in the camera, and if you found anything, Godov would stay in the office and you would go to retrieve the message while he guided you with the new equipment we received, night vision goggles and headphones, but now you have foxy as an ally, so we are changing the plan" Borovsky said.
Deciding to intervene, Leonid grabbed one of the red chips "unfortunately, Foxy, our ally, is in a very bad condition, so we will have to repair him, I trust in Godov to do that, he is an engineer and mechanic after all" he said, he then moved the red chip to the office "Foxy will probably go to the office with me to avoid the Animatronics looking to dismantle him, we will wait there for the right time, when the west hall is clear, Godov and Foxy will silently go to Pirate Cove and hide there" he moved the red chip and a black chip to pirate cove "there is a small corridor that connects Pirate Cove to the Backstage, where we will find everything necessary to repair him, and then that's when I come in" he quickly moved the black chip to the dinning room making a lot of noise "I will be the distraction while Godov fixes Foxy, it shouldn't be too hard, that's what I suggest, Colonel"
Borovsky stared at the map for 10 minutes, constantly repeating the moves Leonid did, meanwhile, Dragomir was on the computer, examining the document he just printed, then, Borovsky broke the silence "yes, this plan is acceptable, I approve it, good job, Lieutenant" the colonel looked at his watch before continuing "its 9:00 AM now Comrade, do whatever you want, the KGB, MSS, and SSN sent us some money to buy a medium sized house for the five of us, I am going with Feng and Myo to look around for a good, cheap house, Dragomir will stay here and study the document he printed, I will give you the new equipment at 9:00, do whatever you want from 9:00 to 12:00, at 12:00 I want you to get some sleep in preparation for your shift, that's all Comrade"
Leonid nodded, and as Borovsky, Feng, and Myo prepared themselves from the trip, he simply headed to the door and said "I am going to the public showers" then he exited and walked down the stairs, looking forward to a nice, hot shower to forget all his problems.
[Fazritz POV]
Frederick Fazritz sighed as he walked around his bedroom, deeply worried about where his loyalties should stand, Leonid Victorovsky, the man he had trusted to end Flitzgerald twisted experiment, had turned out to be a KGB agent according to his former friend, a fucking KGB agent, who would most likely end his life without hesitating if he learned about the organization he belonged to, even if he didn't trusted it anymore and was trying to destroy it, he had enough experience with them, and he knew they never forgave, never.
So he could save his own skin and betray Leonid, eliminating the threat of his past affiliations being discovered, on the other hand, he would remain in the murderous, insane and twisted grip of Flitzgerald…
The two options didn't sound appealing at all, risking his head helping men that would murder him without hesitation once they learned about his past affiliations, or helping a demented murdered to continue his reign of terror and blood…
He sighed, remembering the golden years of the pizzeria… and the descent to madness of his friend.
Fredbear's Family Diner, 1980
"so, if I sign this thing, you will turn this into a Pizzeria, become the co-owner, and… the right to experiment with the programming of my Animatronic, Freddy Fredbear, and bring three new Animatronics, who will also be experimented with?" Fazritz asked, glaring at the stranger, who refused to remove the sunglasses and scarf from his face, making him unrecognizable
"What makes you think I will sign this?" he said, laughing at the stranger, who slowly stood up, and removed his scarf and sunglasses, revealing the face of an old friend he could never forget "Wouldn't you do this for an old friend, Frederick?" the man said, smiling at him
seeing his face, Fazritz immediately dropped the pen and, without being able to stop the tears coming from his face, stood up and hugged the man "J-Jeremy? Jeremy Flitzgerald?! My old friend… I can't believe its you, of course I will sign it… just please, dinner with me tonight, you must tell me were have you been this whole time, I don't see you since 1948!" he said, the tears flowing freely from his eyes.
"I will, Frederick… we need you back in, Frederick, we need you to return to the organization, you will have a big promotion if you join back, lets negotiate a new, secret clause of the contract before I tell you my tale, you must join back in Fazritz" Jeremy said as he broke the hug, staring at his eyes
after a moment of hesitation, Fazritz nodded "I don't know, Jeremy… I want to forget my past… but I will do it for you, now lets go and re-negotiate it… I am happy to see you again, old friend…"
Freddy Fazbear Pizzeria, 1984
"Jeremy Flitzgerald, my good old friend! I must thank you yet again for these treasures! I win a huge amount of money each day! Together we will become the richest men in the world! Hell, I am thinking of expanding this business! You know, opening even more pizzerias all around the country!" Fazritz said proudly as he watched the Fazbear Band played in the stage, dozens and dozens of childrens cheering, and an even bigger sum of childrens in front of Pirate Cove, celebrating as the fox did his show.
Flitzgerald smiled and replied "Frederick, my friend, this wouldn't be possible without your willingness to let me experiment with your Animatronics, back in 78, when you first opened as Fredbear's Family Diner, you only had Freddy and a small establishment, but see our progress now! Ever since you agreed to my experiment in 1980, we've won mountains of money! It took us four long years, but the experiment was a huge success, fully sentient Animatronics, capable of interacting with the public and with their very own personalities, truly a great wonder, my friend!"
He laughed as he counted the rolls of money in his hands, momentarily bringing the money to his nose to smell it "well Jeremy, what do you plan to do next? We spent four years working for these Animatronics to be sentient and now we are harvesting the results, are you going to stay and help me expand this great business? I know that you, like me, love to bring joy to families… and love the money they give to us too" he grinned as he handed Flitzgerald his part of the money earned today.
"I will leave experienced engineers, mechanic, and scientists behind for your business to grow, Frederick, but I will have to leave soon, my friend… do you realize the benefits for humanity of this project? I will first leave to Mexico, I have a contact there that can give me important information to start a new project, Frederick, after that I will go to West Germany and release the discoveries and advances I've made in the robotic area to the world, I will become the richest man in the world, but I won't forget the man who helped me start this… I will give you half of the money I gain, friend!" Jeremy said as he took his share of the money, guarding it in his pockets.
"as long as we are friends and business partners, I don't care if you don't win money" he said, smiling at his friend.
"Mind if I take Marionette with me when I leave, Frederick? He was always my favorite…"
Freddy Fazbear Pizza, 1986
Fazritz was alone in his office, doing some paperwork, three years had passed since his friend, Jeremy Flitzgerald, had left, just six months after the man left, he had lost all communications with him, by now, Fazritz had already given up and knew he would never meet his old friend again.
Suddenly, a thunderbolt hit the ground just outside his window, producing as loud noise and causing him to fall from his chair "Stupid storm…" he muttered annoyed as he stood up, but as soon as he got to his feet, he heard some footsteps just outside his office, who could it be? He was alone in the Pizzeria after all…
The door was suddenly slammed open, revealing a man in a suit, holding a pretty big portfolio, a marionette, and wearing sunglasses, he immediately recognized Jeremy Flitzgerald… but he was changed, first of all, he was noticeable thinner and paler… the man looked like an skeleton now, plus, why was he wearing sunglasses if he was inside a building?
"Mr. Fazritz… We back with a very interesting proposal for you… a new experiment, no, more like an ideal… let us enlighten you with The Joy Of Creation" Flitzgerald said, placing the portfolio in the desk.
"J-Jeremy? Y-you're alive?! It has been three years, and now that you are back you don't even greet me? And what do you mean with We and Us?" he said, offended by his friend who was gone for three years, coming back and not even greeting him, just straight to business
Jeremy just stared at us and opened the Portfolio, Fazritz gasped as he saw the continent, several thousandths of dollars… and a big document on top of them, titled The Joy Of Creation, Jeremy took the document out and handed it to him, smiling "Hello, Frederick, there, happy? One million dollars will be yours if you accept the terms at the end of the document, and that's just for that, I will pay you even more as the experiment advances, Frederick… and you agreed to rejoin our organization back in 1980, and in my three year trip, The Leader died, that's right, I am the new Leader… and you must obey my command, so remember that as you read the terms" Flitzgerald said as he handed him the document.
"The Leader is dead? And now you are the leader, Jeremy? Horrible and wonderful news at the same time…" he said, surprised at this, Flitzgerald slowly nodded and said "I Am well aware about your activities while I was gone, Fazritz, you gave up your search too soon, and when you should've assumed control of the Organization, you just convinced the few remaining members that I left with you that the cause was lost, luckily for you, I was able to reunite a good amount of new members… I will forgive you, but this shall not be repeated ever again, now read the terms, most of the pages are about the experiment, what matters is in the end"
he stayed silent for a while, surprised at the knowledge Fritzgerald had, but glad that he forgave his small treason…
Terms
1.- Frederick Fazritz will remain as the official owner of Freddy Fazbear Pizzeria for the public and will be given a commanding position in the organization.
2.- a pay of one million dollars will be given to Frederick Fazritz for his personal use in exchange of his new rank, allowing the Organization to operate in his business, and agreeing to these terms
3.- Frederick Fazritz will obey to every single order given to him by Herr Puppet Master.
4.- the funds of Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria will be merged with the funds of the Organization and this new treasury will be used both for the needs of the business and the organization, Frederick Fazritz will receive a sum of money from the treasury each month for personal use, and will be able to use the joint treasury to spend on his business,, while Herr Puppet Master will use it to spend on the Organization and the Experiment needs, Herr Puppet Master also has the right to give recommendations to Frederick Fazritz on what to buy for the business.
Fazritz stopped reading, confused, and raised his head to look at Flitzgerald "Herr Puppet Master? Who is that?" he asked, raising an eyebrow
Flitzgerald slowly removed his sunglasses, revealing a sight that made Fazritz scream, his eyes were pitch black with white dots in the center
"my new title of course"
Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria, 1987
"ARE YOU INSANE, FLITZGERALD?! THE ANIMATRONICS ARE ALREADY SENTIENT! ALL OF THEM ARE! YOU KILLED FIVE CHILDREN, AND NOT ONLY THAT, YOU…WITH YOUR WEIRD SHIT, FORCED THEIR SOULS TO POSSES THEM, WHY, FLITZGERALD?! WHY?!" Fazritz screamed as he continuously slammed his fist on the table, tears coming out of his eyes.
Flitzgerald calmly stared at him and began to speak "its Herr Puppet Master, Fazritz, Flitzgerald is no more, we are a new being now, and it was necessary, the Animatronics weren't truly alive… they didn't had a soul… don't you understand, Fazritz? The kids and the robots evolved together! Like we did! They evolved into a single being! This is what The Joy Of Creation is about! These children are now stronger and smarter! And the robots now have a soul and are truly alive! Its wonderful, Fazritz… but if it pains you so much, I guess a million more dollars would cheer you up?"
Fazritz slowly stopped crying and glared at the man… ~One Million Dollars.. in exchange for five, young lives… Flitzgerald is nothing but a sick, twisted bastard… god forgive me, but I will take the money…~ he thought as he nodded, hating himself for it…
Fazritz shed a couple of tears as he remembered his friend descent into darkness… Flitzgerald never told him what happened on his trip to Mexico… all he knew was that Flitzgerald went to an ancient Aztec ruin on an expedition with most of the Organization, including The Leader, and only he returned, completely changed… Fazritz ignored what happened there, but deep inside him, he preferred for the tale to remain a secret.
Now, what should he do… help a psychotic murderer to continue his reign of terror… or help those treacherous snakes to rescue their friend and end Flitzgerald reign of terror…
[Leonid POV]
The terrain and landscape of the battlefield was harsh… sand, dunes, destroyed airplanes, cars, tanks and helicopters all over the place, and the enemy on the front, covering behind the destroyed vehicles and dunes for protection from the bullets, Leonid and several dozens of soldiers under the command of the former Sub-Lieutenant Borovsky, now Lieutenant Borovsky, were in a similar position, all of them down in the ground as the bullets and shells rained above them, several other different platoons and squads nearby doing the same, he turned his head around to the left to face the soldier besides him
He recognized him as Siraaq Amber, a soldier of the Afghan government, who stared back at him and smiled, he had meet Siraaq, who long black hair and a goat patch beard, a month ago and they became friends rapidly, the Afghan whistled at him and said "how is it going, Leonid? Are you Scared? Nervous? Confident? I think the air strike and the tanks are going to arrive soon, then we will finally charge and end this fucking tension… I want to know if I am going to die or not already, damn it!"
He laughed slightly at his friend humor, moving a bit and frowning in discomfort before replying "my fucking uniform is full of sand! You are right, Siraaq! We should charge already, everyone wins! You get to know if you will die or not, and I will either die and won't feel this horrible and uncomfortable sand again, or live and take a hot shower to remove it, pretty simple!"
Soon, another voice joined the conversation, Teodor Cacowsky, part of the Polish army and Leonid's group of inner friends "don't complain Victorovsky! this feeling is great! Hell, as soon as this battle is over, I will put some sand inside my underwear!" everyone laughed at Teodor remark.
"you are a sick weirdo, Cacowsky! Put as much sand in your ass as you want, but please spare us the details!" Ivan Antonovich, other of his friends and the one who had the honor to carry the Soviet flag into battle, replied, Teodor yelled an insult in polish and everyone began to laugh again
Yuri Federovsky, another friend, managed to reply between the laughing "Hahaha! you will soon be invincible, my Polish friend! When they shoot you, sand will come out instead of blood! The Warsaw Pact armies will soon adopt your tactic! The famous Catowshy Method!" this only resulted in another round of uncontrollable laughter, Vedenyev Leonovich, Rusakov Zinovy, Iosif Andreevich, and other members of his group joining in.
Soon, the laughter was interrupted by a low scream coming from Lieutenant Borovsky "SHUT UP, YOU IMMATURE SHITS! I AM GOING TO GIVE YOU A GOOD BEATING IF YOU DON'T SHUT UP! KEEP YOUR HEADS LOW AND WAIT FOR MY COMMAND!" immediately after that, everyone went silent, only the continuous rain of bullets and shells remaining.
After waiting for a couple of minutes for the Lieutenant to give the order to charge, Leonid turned his head around to the right, revealing his best friend, Vladimir Reikov, staring back at him with a smile "Hey Leonid, Comrade, ready to get your glory yet again in the battlefield?" His friend said, raising a thumb.
"I am always ready, my friend!" he replied as he too raised his thumb, suddenly, they heard a loud sound, he turned his sight ahead and got a firm grip on his AK-47, the weapon had a thick strip of cloth connected to it that passed through Leonid's torso diagonally, making sure that he could easily get his hands off the rifle and leave it hanging from his shoulders, making it easier to take his Makarov pistol, knowing what could come next, soon he began to hear loud explosions and catched a small glimpse of them, as soon as the explosions started. the enemy fire began to die out and decreased a lot, Borovsky quickly yelled "CHAAAARGE!"
just as those words left the Lieutenant mouth, every single soldier quickly got to their feet, some of them falling yet again after being reached by the bullets, but the rest of them, Leonid included, began to run with their rifles up, he watched as the soldiers in the front opened fire as they ran, taking down several enemies, several missiles hit the enemy lines as more soviet jets approached, weakening the enemy even further, several more airstrikes hit the enemy before the jets retreated, unable to release more missiles due to the proximity of the front lines of the charge to the enemy.
From the corner of his eyes he watched as Antonovich waved the soviet flag, several soldiers around him fell after being hit by the enemy soldiers, who had resumed their shooting, although they had suffered heavy causalities, soon the Platoon stopped, the lines were now mixed, destroying any hope of a new airstrike.
As soon as they stopped, they heard gunfire and Rusakov Zinovy, one of Leonid's friends, a member of Leonid's squad, and Borovsky platoon, fell to the ground, several bullet wounds in his back, they all turned around to face a group of Afghan rebels shooting at them "FIRE!" Borovsky yelled as more soviet soldiers fell. Leonid quickly kneeled and raised his AK.47, immediately pressing the trigger, sending a deadly burst of bullets that impacted two rebels in their chests, taking them down.
He kept his finger in the trigger, not bothering to aim and taking down three rebel soldiers, the better trained Soviet soldiers quickly won the small skirmish and the Afghan force retreated, Leonid aimed carefully this time and shoot again, taking down several rebels as they retreated, but of course, there were several more rebels all around the, facing other squads and platoons.
"Fire at will, Comrades!" Borovsky yelled as he began to shoot at a group of rebels nearby, Leonid quickly noticed a small group of about four Afghan soldiers shooting at a couple of Soviet soldiers, they were giving him their backs, not aware of the threat, he aimed at one of them and pressed the trigger, the bullets penetrating the back of the rebel and coming out from the chest, blood jumping from the man chest and back as the bullets passed, the rebel fell to the ground with a thump.
He quickly aimed to the rebel besides the dead one and pressed the trigger again, the rifle went a bit up as he shoot and the bullets hit his back, his neck, and the back of his head, killing him instantly, the third one noticed him this time and span around to face him, raising his rifle before several bullets hit him in the stomach, the rebel dropped his rifle and clutched his stomach, slowly falling to the ground.
Leonid silently cursed, the cartridge was empty now, he had to reload, but there was still a last rebel remaining, who quickly aimed his rifle at him, and was about to shoot before a single bullet went through his skull, courtesy of the two Soviet soldiers he had saved, Leonid just gave a short nod before dropping his AK-47, the rifle hanging safely from the strip in his torso, and he took out his Makarov Pistol as he spun around to face two rebels charging at them, he carefully aimed and shoot the whole cartridge at them, taking them down.
He turned around to face his platoon, Vedenyev and Iosif laid on the ground, dead, with a small poll of blood surrounding their bodies, Ivan Antonovich stared at him in the eyes as he waved the flag, smiling before several bullets came out of his chest, his smiling mouth getting filled with blood as the life slowly escaped from his eyes.
He was about to run to check on his fallen Comrade, but he began to see explosions again… the enemy was firing their artillery shells again! "TAKE COVER!" Borovsky screamed as he rushed to a destroyed airplane while the shells exploded all around him, Leonid quickly followed him and watched from the corner of his eyes as the shells destroyed most of the soviet forces, he quickly got inside the destroyed airplane and looked around.
Only Borovsky, Reikov, Saariq, Teodor, and Yuri were alive, all the other squad members were dead.
"Alright boys! The Afghans are charging again! Take down as much of them as you can from the windows of this plane1" Borovsky screamed, Leonid quickly go in front of one of the windows and reloaded his AK-47, aiming at the charging rebels, before being stopped by a sudden command by Borovsky "Kneel! Quickly! And shoot when I tell you! They won't be expecting this, this fallen airplane is in a great strategic position! They will have to pass through the left to get to our lines! We will hold them here, Reikov, don't shoot at your window, shoot from the door of the plane to every single rebel who manages to get through us" everyone immediately kneeled below the windows, hearing as the rebels slowly approached…
he looked at Reikov, who raised a thumb and smiled at him, soon Borovsky stood up screaming "FIRE!" and began to shoot, the remaining platoon members followed his example and stood up, firing at the charging hordes.
Borovsky was right, they weren't expecting this at all, dozens and dozens of rebels fell, Reikov fired through a big opening in the left of the fallen airplane to those who had managed to slip through the defenses, it soon became a routine, fire a whole cartridge, reload, throw grenades, fire a cartridge, reload, throw grenades…
This went for about 30 minutes, until the Afghans retreated, still not completely sure of what hit them, the few remaining members of the platoon cheered and Borovsky began to use a small radio in his uniform to inform the high command about their successful stand against the rebel wave, they soon heard the familiar sound of several dozens of tanks nearby, now it was their turn to charge.
Smiling, Leonid turned around to see Reikov walking around the bodies of those who slipped through the defenses, he began to walk towards him as he kneeled besides a seemingly dead body, searching it for any valuables…
Reikov never noticed the sudden flash of steel until it was too late… and Leonid screamed as he saw the seemingly dead rebel stab his best friend in the chest, the large knife sinking deeply, the rebel got on top of him, intent in finishing the job, before his skull was penetrated by a burst of bullets coming from Leonid's AK-47.
Leonid quickly rushed to his fallen comrade and kneeled besides him, holding him in his arms… "No! Reikov, don't die on me! Stay awake Reikov, the help is coming" he said, completely panicking as he held his dying friend in his arms.
Reikov spat out some blood, and began to speak weakly "I… I was so… S-Stupid… tell m-my wife that i… died as an Hero… " with that, his best friend, his spiritual brother, closed his eyes and died… in his arms
Leonid could feel the hot tears roll through his chest as he released a scream of pain, hugging the body of his dead friend, he could feel some hands grabbing him from the shoulders, trying to separate him from the body, he recognized Saariq and Teodor voices as they tried to calm him down and separate him from the body, finally, after what felt like an eternity, he was forcefully separated from his best friend, some soldiers carrying the body away, he turned around to see Borovsky kneeling, crying too, as he watched Reikov dead body, Reikov was his student after all, he turned his head again to see Teodor right in the eyes, his eyes were full of sadness and sorrow, he turned his head to the other side, Saariq eyes showing the same sorrow and sadness…
Reikov, his best friend, was dead… and not only him, Ivan, Rusakov, Iosif, Vedneyev, and technically all the platoon, dead…
Leonid quickly got up from the upper bed in the litter, his head crashing with the roof, he silently cursed and rubbed his head, looking around, he was in his department… it was that dream yet again, that accursed dream that always haunted him, he was never the same since that day, so many years ago, he never slept soundly and good since that day…
He slowly jumped to the ground and looked at his watch that laid on the bureau on the side of his bed, 9:15 PM, he had to get ready for his shift… when he came back from bathing at the public showers, he and Dragomir had slept on the litter, Dragomir got the lower bed and Leonid the upper one, he noticed Godov wasn't on the lower bed anymore, and that I was perfectly ordered, that hopefully meant he was awake, he walked out of the bedroom, and indeed found him on the dinning table, reading the document Zang left on the chip.
He laughed loudly as he noticed his outfit, he was wearing a white shirt and a brown suit over it, and in complete contrast to his upper outfit, he was wearing blue jeans and sneakers, plus he also had the security guard cap in his head, Dragomir immediately stood up as he entered the room, Leonid laughed again, but managed to say "Privet, Comrade Godov! My friend! You look ridiculous! "
Dragomir just shrugged and sat back on his char, replying "its good and casual, Comrade! Plus if what you say is true, and we are indeed facing sentient, supernatural, possessed Animatronics, then sneakers are the best choice for footwear! Also, guess what? Borovsky bought a big house, it will serve as a base for all the cominterm intelligence agencies and spies, they are going to get our few belongings from this department and take it to The House during our night shift… well, at least Feng and Myo will do it, so they stay awake all night, they are going to break in on the fifth night after all, they need some training in staying awake… the heads of the other agencies branches in America will also move in to the house"
Leonid nodded, understanding the information, and walked back into the bedroom "wait for me, Comrade, I am going to change my sleeping clothes for something more classy" he announced as he entered back to the bedroom, Godov staying behind… he didn't left just to change, he also needed some time to think alone…
Why did Borovsky got scared when he suspected about the affiliation of our enemies? Could he trust Fazritz? Why was the Puppet Master doing all of this? what was the purpose of all of this?
He slowly began to put on some socks and jeans, thinking…
He should trust Fazritz, its preferable to have allies after all.
[Fazritz POV]
he had made a choice… side with Leonid and the KGB, it wasn't necessary to reveal his past or the affiliations of the organization Flitzgerald leads… it was better to have allies, even if they were treacherous and evil, than having none and fighting alone… right?
The Enemy of my Enemy is my friend, after all… and it doesn't matters if allies are opposed to you.. if the cause is noble… then its worth fighting for it
But the end never justifies the means
[Puppet Master POV]
The end justifies the means… we look at the cameras as we ponder about the phrase, watching the janitors clean up the closed pizzeria, and the scientist work on the Animatronics… does the end justifies the means?
Yes, it does… all the murders, all the crimes, all the pain brought by this experiment is justified.. it was for a great and noble cause after all…
But what is our cause?
[Leonid POV]
what is my cause? What is my goal? Leonid slowly thinks about this as he buttons up his shirt, looking at himself in the mirror
he puts on the jacket, pondering about his goals… were they worth all of this? was Reikov, Ivan, Iosif, and others suffering worth it?
Why did he fought? For what goal did he fought? For what cause?
[Fazritz POV]
Fazritz took the picture of Flitzgerald, the four Animatronics, and himself in the old pizzeria back In 1984… why did he fought against Flitzgerald, his old friend? Was his cause worth all the suffering and work he would've to endure?
[Puppet Master POV]
our cause of worth all of this… all this suffering is justified, others don't see our greatness, our kindness, The Joy Of Creation is wonderful, and we just want to show it to the world…
we have very clear what our causes are… what we fight for…
[Leonid POV]
its clear as water…
For Reikov, for Ivan, for Iosif, for Vedenyev.. for all his fallen comrades… to save Zang…
For the KGB, for the Cominterm… but most importantly…
For The Motherland… For The Motherland and for his Friends, Brothers, Sisters, and Comrades
[Fazritz POV]
who could be so blind to see any evil of his cause? Ambition. Money, and love move the world after all…
For his creations, the Animatronics, for those poor murdered children, for all the stuffed guards, for Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria, for the old times… for his own greatness…
For Money
[Puppet Master POV]
for the Joy Of Creation… for the return of our old and dear nation… for a new race…
for The Greater Good Of Humanity
As you read the several POV changes, play an inspirational music in your mind… like, I imagined this as a movie scene in my head, the main protagonists and antagonists talking about their causes, for what they fought…
THE END OF CHAPTER 5 !….
Nah, I am joking… scroll down…
[Zang POV]
Unknow Location, 1993, immediately after Captain Zang Pengfei Dissapearance, one week before Leonid Victorovsky entrance into the Pizzeria
"Hello? Are you alive buddy? Come on, I haven't talked to a friendly human in weeks, please don't be dead…" an unknown voice said, he slowly opened his eyes to reveal a very bright light, he blinked a couple of times and his vision adjusted to the light… then the pain hit him, he felt horrible, every single part of his body hurt like shit, he groaned and began to look around, each movement of his head bringing him almost unbearable pain to his neck, he then spotted the source of the voice as he looked to his right.
a young man with dirty clothes and face, and with a small, shaggy, dirty, 1 month old black beard and long black hair that followed the same pattern of the beard ~where qm I?~ he thought as he stared at the dirty man, who released a cry of joy and began to clap hi hands, getting on his feet, the man began to dance a small jog… ~is that man drunk, drugged, or something similar?~ he thought as he watched the man dance.
After a while, the man stopped, and smiling, began to speak "the name is Schmidt, Michael Schmidt! But everyone calls me Mike! Now, I kinda feel good because I now have another human being to talk to, but I also feel bad for you at the same time, because if you're here, it means you were captured by the Animatronics in the surface… but you discovered what those faggots who keep us there call The Secret, so instead of doing the usual thing and stuffing you inside a deadly suit, they beat you pretty hard and brought you here!"
As soon as those words came out of Mike mouth, his memory came back, ignoring the great pain he felt when he moved, he jumped to his feet, looking around frenetically, he was in a spacious, bright, white, square room, completely empty, the only feature different from the white walls was the metal door, he quickly ran towards it and began to slam his fist against it, he began to mutter as he hit the door "I must get out of here… I must get out of here.. I must warn them! they are not CIA!" Mike slowly approached him as he mutter and hit the door, confused.
"what do you mean?! Are you telling me the CIA is behind all of this?! oh my god we are fucked up then! Why are they doing this? why the CIA? why would the CIA do this to us? Are you sure it's the CIA and not the FBI or something?! My god, the CIA is doing this to us!" mike said, panicking.
Annoyed, he stopped hitting the door and instead turned around and punched Mike in the face, causing him to fall "Shut up! I need to focus to get out of here, idiot! Its not the CIA! its not the FBI! Its something much worse1" he hissed at him as he turned back to the door, looking for a way to open it.
Mike slowly stood up, rubbing his nose, and said "Who are you? And if its not the CIA or something similar, then who is it?"
He slowly turned around to face him, and, calming down, began to speak "I am Zang Pengfei, Mr. Schmidt… and yes, this men are not from the CIA, and they are not a random criminal organization…"
He looked at Mike right in the eyes
"These men… these men are Nazis"
