Two years had passed since the incident at Circus Baby Pizza World, and Michael Afton's life had changed significantly since then. Now, on November 24, 1983, it was his younger brother Evan's birthday. Michael, who used to bully him, deeply regretted his actions after learning about the tragic fate that awaited him in the future.
At Evan's birthday party, held at Michael's workplace, Fredbear's Family Diner, the Afton family (Evan, Elizabeth, and Michael) was present, along with Henry and his daughter, Charlie, Michael's best friend. William and Henry were the owners of the restaurant, but recently, William had been more focused on his secret experiments with Lolbit and neglecting his responsibilities as a father and owner.
As the party went on, Michael was determined to protect Evan at all costs. He was alert and vigilant, remembering the terrible accident that was destined to happen if Evan was put into the jaws of the Fredbear animatronic. Michael knew he couldn't change the future, but he would do everything in his power to prevent any harm from coming to his brother.
During the party, Michael noticed some familiar faces among the guests: his former friends Jeremy, Rui, and Garcia. They still held resentment towards Michael for distancing himself from them after the incident with Evan in the Parts and Service room and continued to be troublemakers.
In a careless moment, Jeremy, Rui, and Garcia attempted to play a prank by putting Evan into Fredbear's mouth. They grabbed the boy and began dangerously approaching the animatronic. Michael sprang into action immediately, remembering what was at stake. He ran towards the bullies and, with a quick and firm punch, prevented them from harming Evan. The blow was so powerful that Garcia's nose got broken, and Rui accidentally got his finger caught in Fredbear's mouth, crushing his finger.
The head of security at the restaurant, Scott, witnessed the scene and was furious with Michael's actions. He called Michael aside and reprimanded him, reminding him that violence wasn't the solution to problems. Scott warned Michael that if he repeated this kind of behavior, he would be fired.
Henry and William were alerted by the police that if they didn't make the animatronics safer, the restaurant could be sued for negligence. As a result, they decided to replace Fredbear and Spring Bonnie with Freddy, Bonnie, Chica, and Foxy, as the restaurant faced lawsuits due to the spring lock accidents.
Michael was shaken by Scott's reprimand but knew he needed to control himself and find other ways to solve problems. He promised himself he would be more cautious and try to communicate better with others, even though he still kept the secret about the future he knew.
After the incident, Michael and Evan decided to step away from the party for a bit and watch a television show together, trying to distract themselves and leave the stress behind. Michael wanted Evan's birthday to be a special day without any more turmoil.
Meanwhile, in the basement of William Afton's house, the secret laboratory was bustling with activity. William was completely immersed in his work with Lolbit, determined to make it the most powerful and advanced animatronic ever. He was obsessed with having complete control over his creations and didn't care about the consequences of his actions.
The Afton family was growing more distant, and Michael felt the responsibility to protect his siblings from his father's dangerous ambitions. He knew he couldn't change who William was, but he would do his best to keep Elizabeth and Evan safe.
At the same time, Henry, Charlie's father and William's business partner, began to notice changes in William's behavior. He realized that William was becoming increasingly isolated and obsessively devoted to his secret projects. Henry was worried about what this could mean for everyone's safety.
One afternoon, Henry decided to confront William about his actions and neglect as a father. He found him in the secret laboratory, surrounded by cables and gears as he tirelessly worked on Lolbit.
"William, we need to talk," Henry said firmly.
William looked at his friend and business partner, his eyes showing signs of exhaustion and obsession. "I don't have time for conversations right now, Henry. I'm about to complete my most important project."
"I understand that you're involved in something big, but you can't let it blind you to what truly matters. Your family is falling apart, and you need to be a present and responsible father," Henry said.
William fell silent for a moment, taking in Henry's words. He knew his friend was right, but his ambition and desire for success were stronger than ever.
"I hear what you're saying, Henry, but believe me, this is for the greater good of all of us. Lolbit will be a revolutionary creation," William replied, trying to justify his actions.
Henry shook his head, disappointed with William's stubbornness. "You may have your reasons, but I don't think that justifies neglecting your family. You need to remember who you are and what truly matters."
The two men stood in silence for a moment, each absorbed in their own thoughts. As William continued his experiments with Lolbit, Henry realized he needed to make an important decision about his future at the restaurant and in partnership with William.
Meanwhile, Michael continued to work as a nighttime security guard at Fredbear's Family Diner, doing his best to ensure the safety of customers and animatronics. He tried hard to prevent any incidents that could endanger Evan, Elizabeth, or anyone else.
Over time, Michael began to notice something was wrong with the animatronics at the restaurant. They were behaving strangely and unpredictably, as if they had a mind of their own. He decided to investigate the matter thoroughly and find out what was happening.
As Michael delved into his investigation, he came across disturbing evidence pointing to possible manipulation of the animatronics by William. He was horrified by the idea that his father might be using his creations for dark and dangerous purposes.
Determined to uncover the truth, Michael continued his investigation secretly, staying discreet to avoid drawing his father's attention. He knew he needed solid evidence before confronting William and exposing his actions.
Meanwhile, at Evan's birthday party, things began to change. Henry confronted William once again about his actions and his neglect as a father and restaurant owner. The discussion was tense and emotional, but it didn't lead to an immediate resolution.
However, over time, Henry's conversation with William started to make him question his priorities and the importance of his family in his life. Slowly, he began to realize that his obsession with Lolbit was costing him his connection to his children and his friend Henry.
One day, while working in the laboratory, William looked at his creation, Lolbit, and saw that something was wrong. He began to question his own actions and the danger he might be creating by developing such a powerful and uncontrollable animatronic.
That's when he made a difficult decision. He chose to shut down Lolbit and abandon the project, realizing that he couldn't continue on a path that put his family's lives and everyone else's safety at risk.
William realized that he had lost a lot by allowing himself to be consumed by ambition and selfishness. He saw the importance of redeeming himself and rebuilding the broken bonds with his family and friends.
As he turned Lolbit off, William decided to change his ways. He started spending more time with his children, trying to mend the broken relationships and be the father they needed.
While Michael continued to gather evidence, he finally gathered enough to confront his father. He decided to tell the truth to Henry and Charlie about William's dark actions and the manipulation of the animatronics.
Together, they prepared to confront William and demand answers for his actions. When confronted by his family and Henry, William couldn't deny what he had done and admitted he was wrong.
He explained his journey in search of success and recognition but realized he had lost what truly mattered in the process. He offered sincere apologies and promised to change his ways.
The Afton and Emily family decided to forgive William, knowing he was genuinely remorseful and willing to change. They decided to work together to rebuild family ties and ensure a better future for everyone.
Michael finally felt a sense of relief seeing that his father was willing to redeem himself and change. He knew the future was still uncertain, and the tragedy that awaited him might still happen, but he was determined to do whatever he could to protect his family and prevent further suffering.
And so, the Afton and Emily family began to rebuild, working together to overcome the adversities and consequences of William's actions. The friendship between Michael and Charlie grew stronger, and they supported each other on their journeys.
Fredbear's Family Diner continued to operate, but now with a new approach to safety and care for the animatronics. Michael took a more active role in the restaurant, working alongside his father and Henry to ensure everyone's safety.
Over time, the Afton and Emily family found redemption and peace they had been seeking. They learned that even in the face of difficulties and uncertain destinies, love, forgiveness, and family unity were the keys to facing the challenges life threw at them.
But William was only cooperating with them to hide his true plans, which were to make Lolbit a 100% deadly animatronic to kill any child or adult that got in William's way.
