Hurricane, Utah

Freddy Fazbear's Mega Pizzaplex.

6:30 AM.

Jerry kept grumbling and growling, slamming away at the keyboard before him. Fire him, why don't they? Humiliate a simple man, selling off thrown away crap. So, when this weird Psycho-Furry came up to him after getting canned and offered a way to get revenge, he took it with glee.

Lewis might have been the head mechanic for the STAFF, but reprogramming them was an easy task.

A few lines of code here, a wayward task there, and a little modification of the total STAFF Bot program signal in Roxy Raceway, and he had himself a little Suicidal STAFF Bot. And it was eager to prove itself. All he needed was for the Furry to install the SD Card into Roxy Raceway, and it'd let the magic begin…

Of course, he wasn't going to see the outside again, not that he knew. All he knew was that his mouth felt weirdly metallic, before finally passing on from the knife in his head.

Nixus was tired.

He'd been up and down the Pizzaplex all day, constantly using the Rox-Watch to shut down STAFF Bots all over the place. For some reason, they were all going berserk, throwing food, crushing glasses, almost running over customers, and trying to stab him in particular a lot. Thankfully, STAFF Bots were not too dexterous, so disarming and shutting them down was pathetically easy.

He quickly flipped up his Rox-Watch. "Vess, I got all the STAFF Bots in Sect. G and E, how's it looking on your end?"

"Bad. We've got a full on outbreak of crazy STAFF Bots in Roxy Raceway. Most of the Driver Assist bots have been shut down, but we've got one that's not shutting down. Got a kid on board that one, we need backup." Roxy's voice beeped out, translating Vanessa's messages in Roxy's voice. Nixus growled and started running again, silently thanking his years of cardio.

Once he got to the Raceway, it was an absolute mess.

STAFF Bot parts lying all over the place, oil painting the roads, panicked kids and parents left and right. It was a nightmare, and Nixus could feel a headache that could floor God coming on. And, aw fuck, he's noticed the go-karts.

Each one was helmed by a STAFF Bot assistant driver, just so the kart couldn't go too fast. But of course, this Virus was making them all go berserk, with the most notable one being a STAFF Bot painted red, shitty $2 Devil Horns taped to it's head, and a sign declaring some shit in Latin, Nixus didn't give a damn.

He saw Vanessa and Lewis panicking on the opposite side, trying to shut the whole thing down, but they weren't getting anywhere. Nixus bit his lip, nodded, and pulled out his phone.

D.M.A.V.R.R System Online, Payload Access Available.

Install Payload?

Y / N

He pressed install and shoved the phone away, looking at his Rox-Watch. A cartoonish white Fox popped up on it, smiling wide at her Creator, before vanishing into the code.

In a blink, several Haywire STAFF Bots were shut down, simply slumping over across the entire Pizzaplex. Though, the Devil STAFF Bot was still doing donuts, and all STAFF near it were still online. So, he'd have to take a more… Personal touch.

That personal touch being him throwing himself from the railings, directly onto an oncoming Go-Kart, crushing the steel frame under his boots. The STAFF Bot tried slapping out, flailing its arms like a misbehaving child, but Nixus simply reached out and tore its head off. He didn't have time to waste doing it the Proper way.

With another growl he ripped the Seat Belt Hoist out of the kart, freeing the driver, who quickly scrambled off the road. Nixus quickly began sprinting, full speed, towards the tall spire that made up the center of Roxy Raceway's Major Track, lunging from the border onto the supports leading up to it. And without a hint of hesitation, began climbing like a bat outta hell.

To his surprise, in between the bars and wires holding the spire up, he saw Roxy, doing much the same as him. With a chuckle, he lunged higher and higher.

If he had full 360 Vision, he'd notice Vanessa and Lewis collectively freaking out at what he was doing, and the strange program that just popped up on their systems.

"WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?!" Lewis shouted, pulling at his hair in a panic. "AND WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU!?"

'UwU' was all the Program said.

"WHAT THE FUCK I U-"

Nixus flung himself over the railing, almost getting hit by the out of control Devil STAFF Bot, who was laughing in the dead automated voice all STAFF had. They had to be careful about this one, Roxy and Nixus both had the same thought.

Nixus tried jumping at the bot, but almost got pimp slapped by its swinging arms. Roxy tried reaching out and slashing its head off, but actually got pimp slapped. Which, based on how her entire body jerked to the left, Really hurt.

His Rox-Watch beeped. "C'mon big boss, thawt's nowt going to hewp! XD juwst hit the thing with youw shoe! X3"

He glanced down at it. "Good advice, but who the Hell told you to talk like a Bottom?"

"OwO more of a top than u!"

"I will fucking end you-" He bit his tongue. Argue with the AI later, stop the STAFF Bot now.

Taking D.M.A.V.R.R's advice, he kicked off his boot and slugged it at the speeding STAFF Devil, and it worked! It came to a screeching halt, beeping like a broken toaster. Nixus and Roxy wasted no time in ripping the seat belts off of the kid trapped by the STAFF Bot, who quickly ran off.

And just as Nixus thought, that STAFF Devil was blocking D.M.A.V.R.R's signal. With its interruption, every single STAFF Bot in the Raceway came to a screeching halt, freeing its riders. Nixus sighed, wiping a bead of sweat from his forehead.

"Thank Fuck that worked… Roxy, help me rip this thing apart-"

Of course he jinxed himself. He ALWAYS JINXED HIMSELF. As the words left his mouth, the STAFF Devil came to life once more, speeding directly into Roxy's chassis. The two went over the edge, followed fast by an agonizingly loud mechanical scream and crash. Nixus's stomach dropped like an iron weight, lunging after the two and using the roads as jungle gyms.

Roxy had been dragged Far down, below the base floor that made up the Raceway, into an old maintenance tunnel. The STAFF Devil kept Laughing, until Nixus landed with a deep thud and ripped it in Half. That also gave him access to Roxy and…

Fuck. For a moment, his calculating brain kicked into overdrive.

Severe Damage to the Endoskeleton and Casing: Repair Possibilities: 32.9% Success.

Eyes: Shattered: Scrap for Spare Plastic.

Upper Arms: Disconnected: No Possible Repair Possible with Parts Allocated.

He shut himself up before his brain could go on.

Damnit, even her Voice Box was fucked, the only sound made from the Shattered Wolf being agonizing screams and screeches. Those slowly faded as her Main Core shut down due to being crunched into itself.

"Oh Jesus!" Nixus heard from above him, Lewis and Vanessa having finally made it to the ground floor. "What the hell are we going to do now?!"

"Lewis, calm down. We should focus on the customers before a bucket of bolts. Nixus, get her out of sight, Now!"

Bit fucking late for that, Vanessa. By now, pictures of Roxy getting rammed off the road were probably circulating Tumblr and Twitter. Hell, some freak was probably live-streaming the whole thing instead of either running or helping.

Nixus growled, but pulled the go-kart away, ignoring the sound of metal and plastic being shattered. And with a huff of false muscles and mechanical gears, he dragged the wolf away from the destruction.

He had some choices here. Take her to Parts and Services, where nothing would get done, and where she'd just be thrown away like trash, or…

"Mangle, create a map path for me. Get me to my car."

He ran a hand over his face, and for a moment, he passed a mirror.

His eyes…

They Would Work.

Tomorrow Is Another Day.
