"Hello, my dear." -Golden Freddy/Rose Evens
Still wearing his uniform, Harry had switched out his normal cap for a bandana as he scanned around the ship with a telescope. He turned though as he heard footsteps behind him. "Captain Foxy!"
The animatronic walked up to him and patted him on the shoulder as he looked out on the sea. "So, mister Potter, how goes things today!"
Harry just nodded with a smile. "It's going fine, Captain!"
Having been walking past Pirate Cove with a pizza, Chica stopped and looked up at them with a disbelieving look. "What the heck are you two doing up there...?"
She was ignored by them as Foxy smiled. "Arrrgh. Tha' be good then, my First Mate! Tis' a fine day for sailing the open sea!"
Unimpressed, Chica blinked. "You're on a fake sailing ship in a pizzeria..."
With a smile, Foxy then closed his eyes and sighed as he moved his ears around. "Just listen ter the sounds of the wide open ocean! The waves against the bow! The seagulls drifting in the breeze!"
Still giving them a stare, Chica pointed to the side. "You've got a tape deck playing sounds of the open sea..."
As he took a deep breath, Harry smiled. "And the smell of the sea, Captain! The salt water smells wonderful to me!"
Bonnie, who had walked up, pointed toward the back of the Cove. "That would be the air freshener plugged in over there. I think you're using a sea breeze one..." He trailed off as he became thoughtful before he turned to Chica. "Are we even allowed air fresheners here?"
Now frowning herself, Chica blinked. "I... don't know..." Her frown only deepened. "I could have sworn that we're a scent free place..."
For a few moments, both Foxy and Harry were still before the animatronic continued. "Aye! This be a wonderful day for sailing upon the Saucy Vixen, me First Mate! Arrrgh!"
This time it was Freddy who rolled his eyes as he walked by with newspaper open in front of him. "Foxy, you know that's not what your ship is called, especially as that is not very kid friendly. It's the Flying Fox..."
As with Chica and Bonnie though, the two would-be pirates ignored him as Harry brought his spyglass up to his eye and looked around. Suddenly, he came to a stop on Chica and grinned. "Captain! I just found a load of some fine booty!"
The chicken animatronic's eyes flew wide open for a moment and if she could have, her whole face would have been red and felt like it was on fire. "O-o-oh my..."
Foxy pulled out his own spyglass and looked through it before he patted Harry on the shoulder. "Aye, that be a fine pizza indeed."
And as if a switch had been flicked, Chica's expression switched from being embarrassed and pleased to being deeply annoyed. "Screw you, Foxy. Screw you."
Having gotten the pizza, Foxy held up a plastic cutlass as he gestured forward a few minutes later. "Helmsbear! Let us be off east-nor'east!"
At the wheel for the ship, Goldy nodded as she saluted, a fake sword on her hip and a parrot plush on her shoulder. "Aye-aye, captain!"
As he nodded, Foxy grinned. "Arrrgh! We be getting not just loot, but a hostage to ransom back!"
Behind him, and tied up next to where Harry stood, Chica blinked with an utterly annoyed look on her face before she turned to the boy next to her. "Did you guys really have to tie me up like this? Really?"
Harry just smiled and shrugged as he took a bite of his pizza. "Sorry, Chica, Captain's orders. And thanks for bringing me the pizza, by the way."
With a smile, Chica gave him a coy look. "You're very welcome." She then sighed and noticed that Harry was watching her with a raised eyebrow which caused her to look away. "It's nothing..."
A moment later though, the chicken animatronic found that a piec of pizza was being held out so that she could eat it. "Well, here you go." Having noticed her surprised look, Harry chuckled and held it closer to her beak. "You didn't honestly think that I was going to eat and not share with you, did you, Chica? I'm not that mean..."
If she could have, Chica would have blushed as she leaned forward as much as possible and took a bite of the pizza that Harry was hand feeding her. It was then that Foxy turned and raised an eyebrow at what his "First Mate" was doing. "And what be you doing now?"
The young wizard looked over at him as Chica froze. "I be feeding the prisoner, Captain Foxy!"
Foxy gave Chica a look before he rolled his eyes and turned around. "Very well then, me First Mate..." He was looking through his spyglass a few minutes later when he saw Freddy making his way toward them with Bonnie. "ME CREW! TO BATTLE STATIONS! WE GOT INCOMING TROUBLE!"
Getting up, Harry ignored the grumbling from the still tied up Chica. "What be the trouble, Captain?"
The pirate pointed toward where an annoyed Freddy stood as Goldy walked up behind Harry. "It be none other then dread pirate hunter Fezbear! Sworn enemy of the brotherhood of the waves, me crew!"
A growl escaped Freddy as he placed his hands on his waist. "Untie Chica this very moment you guys! And also get down here and clean up your mess or else I swear I will come over there!"
He got his answer a moment later as a foam ball hit him in the head as Foxy shouted at him. "WE BE PIRATES AND PIRATES NEVER SURRENDER!"
Freddy just blinked as Bonnie looked up before he looked at the foam ball. Then slowly he turned back to the ship in time to catch another foam ball between the eyes. For a moment, he took a breath as he closed his eyes. The "Pirates" all froze when he opened them to reveal that they were now completely black except for a small white dot. "THAT'S IT!"
While his own eyes widened, Harry reacted as Freddy grabbed one of the foam balls and ducked in time as he whipped it at them. Hearing a groan, he watched as Goldy stumbled back from the hit to the face. "Oh boy..."
He then turned just in time to see Foxy having thrown another ball... Only to get knocked on his ass as both Bonnie and Freddy hit him with two foam balls, one in the head and the other in the knees. "ARRGH! IF IT BE A WAR YEH WANTS, THEN A WAR YEH SHALL GET! FIRE THE CANNONS, ME MATEYS!"
Harry rushed over as foam balls went back and forth and grabbed one of the old pneumatic cannons that between him and Foxy, they had gotten working. He ducked another ball as he shoved one into the chamber then aimed it at Freddy and Bonnie who froze. The rabbit blinked and the ball he held dropped as he spotted the grin. "Oh... fiddlesticks..."
With a mad grin, Foxy gestured forward with his cutlass. "FIRE!"
A moment later, Freddy stumbled back as he got hit in the head before he tripped and fell onto his back. Beside him, Bonnie gasped. "Freddy!" With a growl, he turned toward Harry with a ball in his hands ready to throw, only to get hit by no less then three, including one from the cannon which knocked him onto his back as well. "GAH! NO FAIR YOU GUYS!"
As they cleaned up from their "Battle", Bonnie thought of something as he turned toward Harry. "Harry? Can I ask you something?"
The wizard stopped as he leaned against his mop and shrugged. "Sure, go ahead and shoot."
For a few moments, the rabbit was slightly unsure before he coughed. "Well... I was wondering about that night when the Marionette was destroyed..." All movement in the room stopped as they all turned to the nervous Bonnie. "I'm just wondering how the heck you were so strong? You actually managed to physically manhandle the bunch of us with some ease and then while it was fighting Goldy, you swung that hammer into it..."
Harry frowned as he thought back to that night, the memories of sheer terror involving the animatronics still fresh in his mind. At first, the four main ones showed up with a fifth hanging near the door, grinning maliciously at him until he picked up and threw Freddy at him. It was then he noticed Goldy's poster on the camera and she showed up.
Right before it went to hell in a handbasket once she caught sight of him being attacked.
Mainly because she then launched herself at the unknown animatronic and began to physically fight him. Of course, the fight was rather even until Harry grabbed a two pound hammer he had brought with him and smashed it into the back of the unknown animatronic. Something he could only do because as soon as the fight between Goldy and what he later was told was the Marionette had started, the others went glitch and were unable to do much of anything. Between the two of them, him and his undead aunt, they smashed and tore him to pieces.
Then he had blacked out.
When he had come to a few minutes later, he freaked out at the sight of the animatronics standing above him, just watching. It was only after they backed off some that he calmed down. Then Goldy stepped forward and began to explain what was going on. About how they had originally been children who were murdered by a former security guard. A security guard who was influenced by the Marionette (an animatronic from the original Freddy Fezbear Family Diner back in the fifties and who had been brought from Germany by the former owner when he returned from the War). They had then been stuffed into the suits, while still alive, and their souls trapped. Something that the Marionette called 'The Joy of Creation', and to their horror he was able to control them.
In fact, the only one who he was unable to control was Golden Freddy and that was because she had hid. For years, she had tried to get help, but failed each time as she scared the other night watchmen and sometimes caused them to faint. And once they fainted, she vanished back into her poster as she lost the connection before she vanished. Meanwhile, since the night watchmen were knocked out and unable to close the doors...
Harry still shivered at that.
However, Harry had a blood connection with the girl that had been shoved into the Golden Freddy suit, a fact that she had somehow sensed. Which had been helped along as she had recognized Harry's eyes and some of his features as being that of her older sister, Lily. That had allowed her to help him in the way that she had as well as throw off the attempts at control by the Marionette. It was the very next night that he had made friends with each of the animatronics as they came to him one by one to apologize and talk with him...
A hand on his shoulder shook him out of it as he saw the worried expression on Chica's face as she gently shook him. "Are you okay, Harry?"
Having shaken off his thoughts, Harry smiled before he went back to mop the floor. "Sorry about that, guys." He rinsed the mop before he hummed. "As to how I did all that? I managed to get my hands on some Re'em blood. That stuff will make a human who drinks it immensely physically powerful. Apparently powerful enough to fight you guys on equal terms."
As he walked past with a large garbage bag, Freddy frowned. "Huh..." Freddy then stopped and looked at Harry in thought. "Whatever did you do with the Marionette's remains, anyways? You said that you were going to get rid of them, though I didn't see you do so."
With a small grin, Harry chuckled. "I put them into an expanded box and sent them to my godfather, Sirius, with a note asking him to destroy it what was inside..."
Sirius slowly set the box into the fireplace in the basement of Grimauld Place as Remus glanced at the letter. "Er... what the hell is in that box that Harry wants us to destroy it completely with magic?"
The dog animagus shrugged as he activated the wards around the fireplace. "Looked inside and there was all these parts, looked like a puppet of some kind."
It was then that the two jumped as they heard a voice behind them. "A puppet you say? And Harry wants it completely destroyed?" Both turned as Dumbledore walked into the room with a raised eyebrow. "Hmm..."
As the old wizard walked past Sirius and opened the box, Sirius shared a look with Remus. "Yeah, he said it was really important that I do so immediately, but... I kind of forgot and..." He then noticed that Dumbledore had gone pale. "Something the matter, Headmaster?"
What happened next was Albus shoving him back before he pointed his wand at the fireplace and letting loose a burst of, to their shock, Fiendfyre. A moment later it struck the package and they could hear an unearthly scream over the roar of the flames as they seemed to struggle for a moment before they consumed whatever was fighting back against them. The shock continued as Dumbledore did not let up for several minutes before he cancelled the flames leaving the enchanted stone, which was able to withstand massive amounts of heat, charred black and beginning to run like wax. Then he turned to the others and they stared as he looked shaken. "I think... we need to send someone in to investigate this place that young mister Potter is working at..."
It was just after the noontime rush that a shabbily dressed man walked across the parking lot for Freddy's. Oddly enough, no one gave him a second glance. Not even when he walked inside the pizzeria. Once the doors closed behind him though, Remus looked around the rundown place. A moment later, he heard a whistle and turned to see Tonks walk on behind him. "Merlin, this place has seen some better days..."
All the werewolf did was nod, slightly distracted by the smells of food. "That it has..." A frown then crossed his face. "I think that I remember this place..."
That bit of information caused Tonks to turn and look at him. "I thought that neither you or Padfoot knew anything about this place when it was brought up in a meeting."
Still frowning, Remus glanced at her. "Because the Freddy's that Sirius and I knew about was quite a distance away. And, well... I had forgotten about it."
Tonks frowned a bit as she looked around. "Oh?"
With a grimace, Remus nodded. "Yeah, it's coming back to me now..." A sigh escaped him as he looked at the younger woman. "Lily's youngest sister, Rose Evens I think her name was, got word that she was going to Hogwarts. Both her and Lily were excited over it and her parents brought her to a place called 'Freddy's' for a party..."
He felt a hand clap him on the shoulder. "What happened?"
Lost in his memories, Remus frowned a bit. "She went missing with four other children." Slowly, he shook his head. "I only remember because James found out a week later and we all came down to search for her. Even questioned the guard they caught... Nothing ever turned up though and we never did find her. They just figured that the guard murdered them and hid the bodies. Not that we ever really believed that." Having seen the look on Tonks' face, Remus sighed. "The guard showed signs of having been under magical influence. And considering that the Death Eaters were around, we just always figured that they were behind it. But now..."
While she grimaced, Tonks nodded. "Yeah, with how Dumbledore reacted to that puppet thing..." They started to walk down the hall when the Auror spotted something and stopped Remus. "Hey, Wolfie... What is that?"
Turning, Remus spotted an open office and took a sniff. "Harry's scent is all over there, so I think that this might be his office..." He then leaned down to two switches. "Hmm... Lights and door?" Slowly, Remus tilted his head back and frowned before he turned to Tonks. "Could you..."
As she nodded, she pulled out her wand and cast some spells. "There, no one will notice a thing now." Tonks jumped back though when he pressed the "Door" button and a heavy steel door slammed down from the ceiling with a bang. "What the bloody hell?!"
However, Remus' frown only deepened. "Curiouser and curiouser..." He knocked his knucked against it and shook his head. "I don't think that I could break through this even when transformed. Which begs the question... Why would you need this heavy duty of security for a run down pizzeria?"
As he pressed the button again and the door rose, Tonks rubbed her arms. "I am really not liking this..."
Remus glanced at her and nodded. "Agreed..." They exited the office and cancelled the spells behind them as they walked down the hall. "You head over to the manager's office and I'll walk around a bit more, maybe find some clues." After Tonks had nodded and left, Remus continued into the main dining room. He had to suppress a shiver though as it seemed that the animatronics on stage where following him. But then the werewolf dismissed the thought. They were just muggle robots after all, nothing more and nothing less. He did though check out what looked like a stage and noted a damaged animatronic there. A part of him wondered why Harry's scent was back here as well. 'Maybe he does patrols?'
Not finding anything, though he noted the tracks in the dust, Remus left. What he hadn't noticed was the eyes of the fox animatronic following him. 'I wonder who that be...?'
Up on stage, the Fezbear band also noted the man as he left the Cove. All of them had noticed how no one seemed to realize that he was there, which worried them because they didn't know if he was a threat to the children. Unable to do anything since it was the day, though, they decided to talk with Harry that night. Remus meanwhile knew nothing of this and entered another hall and stopped when he saw Tonks there looking at something on the wall. "I thought that you were seeing the manager?"
The Auror glanced at him before she shrugged her shoulders. "I did. Once I did the Confundus though, he pretty much did everything on the spot surprisingly enough." She then tapped the bulletin board with a frown. "I think that you should read this, Remus though..."
Slightly unnerved by her serious tone, he walked over and read them himself. At one of them he raised an eyebrow. "Animated corpses?"
With a frown, Tonks looked over at him. "You ever hear of anything like that before?"
All Remus did was shake his head. "No..." He then glanced at the direction he had come from and frowned before he started to walk. "I'll be right back." It was a few minutes later when Tonks saw a disturbed looked Remus walking toward her. Before she could say anything though, he shook his head. "I snuck into the backstage are to look. I've done some work in the muggle world, so I know that would be where the spare parts are for these robots."
Tonks crossed her arms under her chest and raised her eyebrows. "And?"
If anything, Remus looked more disturbed as he shivered. "Underneath the smells of cleaners, it smelt of blood... Blood and death..."
For a few moments there was silence before Tonks blinked. "Okay... Now I'm really wondering what is going on here... And how Harry's involved..."
Harry leaned back in his chair in thought as he watched the animatronics in front of him. "So you guys saw a man today who... wasn't there for most?"
Giving a glance at Freddy, Bonnie shrugged his shoulders. "Well... Yeah." He gestured at the others as he continued. "All of us could see him, but none of the humans in the room seemed to."
A moment later, Freddy hummed a bit as he rubbed his chin. Then he shook one finger. "Actually... it was like they could see him, but didn't notice him. It was... rather odd, to say the least."
With a frown, Harry shook his head. "Yeah... That does sound rather odd. It almost sounds like a wizard..." He trailed off as a thought occurred to him and then Harry looked up. "What did he look like?"
Before anyone could say anything, Chica spoke up. "He looked like a pervert!"
The silence that accompanied her declaration was so utterly complete, that a pin drop in the security office could have been heard by the group, despite them being at the show stage. For a moment, Harry blinked before he hung his head and pinched his nose. 'I just know that I'm going to regret this...' After he took a deep breath, Harry raised his head to look at the nodding chicken animatronic. "Okay, Chica... How did he looked like a pervert...?"
Chica frowned at him for a moment before she ticked off her fingers. "Well, for one thing, he was a older man lurking around in a place for children by himself..." There was a collective blink at that. "Two, he was really shabby when it came to clothing. Really worn down and dirty. Perverts are always like that I've heard..."
As one, Harry, Freddy, and Bonnie turned to Foxy who scowled. "Stow it."
However, Chica just dismissed him. "Foxy isn't a pervert." The fox smiled, only for it to become a scowl with her next words. "He would 't know how to even if he had the chance." She ignored it as she ticked off on another finger. "Thirdly, he was hunched over as he walked through the pizzeria." The others could only blink as she did a comical impression of someone sneaking around before Chica continued. "Fourth, he was sniffing as he walked and watched everything around him." The animatronic stood up and shivered a bit. "Creeped me out when he watched me, really... But there was one big thing that told me he was a pervert!"
While he smiled, Harry leaned back and coughed. "And, er... what would that be now?"
The chicken looked around before she leaned in and performed a stage whisper. "He had a pervert's mustache."
This time, the period of utter silence lasted longer as even the other animatronics stared at her. Meanwhile, Harry raised a finger and tried several times to get something out before he managed it. "He... Had a pervert's mustache..." He watched as Chica nodded as if she had imparted some form of great wisdom. "And, um... How would you know this?"
As she blinked, Chica gave him an odd look. "Well... I've overheard parents talking about perverts before over the years. He showed all the signs of being a pervert from what I have heard, but the mustache is something that I've heard described before! And they always belonged to perverts!" A shiver ran down her body as she cradled her cupcake to her. "I was worried over what he might do to me or Cupcake..."
Feeling a slight headache coming on, Harry pinched his nose again and took a deep breath. "Okay then... So did this guy actually do anything... You know, odd besides, what you've already said?"
Bonnie ignored Chica as she gently stroked her cupcake plush and muttered to it. "Well... He did go backstage for a bit, but I already checked before you came down and everything seems okay."
Once more, Chica attracted stares as she muttered to her plush. "He was back there with my spare parts doing... Who knows what... Brrr."
It was Foxy who broke the silence as he blinked and his expression became blank. "Lass, trust me when I say that yeh are the last one to worry about perverts wantin' somethin' from."
Chica smiled at him and was about to say something when she blinked. "Hey... Wait a second..."
From where he sat, Harry sighed. 'This is going to be one of those nights where I wish that this place had a bar, isn't it?' He shook it off though as he remembered something. "Hmm... Guys?" His voice was enough to cause Chica to pause in her choking of Foxy. "I just remembered something that management left for me in a note. Might be a coincidence, but apparently they're going to have me train a on-call guard for when I'd be unavailable for whatever reason... Though it's a she."
Frowning, Freddy tapped his fingers against the tabletop. "That's... Odd. They've never done anything like that before..."
All Harry did was shrug. "I know, but there's not much that I can do." Suddenly, grin crossed his face which reminded Goldy of when Lily would be planning something mischievous. "But if we're getting a new guard, we should put them through their paces and see if they can last five nights at Freddy's..."
