Okay I'm back now! Sorry again for missing a chapter last week.
Chapter 40
What now?
Ruby stared at the ceiling, bored out of her mind.
Who knew that she'd actually miss those hunts?
Hedy had essentially grounded the Toys after some interesting threats that Toy Bonnie had made towards her after the reveal of BB's location. She couldn't remember most of what he'd said since she'd been laughing too hard though.
She sighed as she rolled over on the table she was lying on.
"Ah! It's so boring!" she cried eventually, sitting up with a huff.
Her gang was also off having a 'strategy meeting' regarding what they were going to do now that the Toys were officially working in the same building as them without the ability to kill night guards. That turned out to be even more boring since Ruby's solution always involved Betty so she'd wondered off hoping to run into an annoyed Toy she could provoke.
No such luck.
Sighing again Ruby stood up and started wondering around again. She idly flicked through the cameras, only half paying attention when she saw something that made her freeze.
"You've got to be kidding me…" she muttered, staring in disbelief.
She changed the camera before flicking back but, lo and behold, it still showed the same image.
A group of teenagers climbing in through a window that some employee must have left open.
Ruby face palmed.
"I can't believe it." She muttered, rubbing her forehead. "Some bunch of kids, younger than me, are stupid enough to break into the king of urban legends at NIGHT?"
She looked at the screen for a moment longer before a smile stole across her face.
"Well, then how about I help this place keep its reputation?" she murmured thoughtfully.
Giggling to herself a little disturbingly, Ruby started skipping down the hall, humming to herself.
She'd found what she was going to be doing all night.
Toby was sulking.
But that wasn't new.
Hedy ignored him as she continued pulling whatever the heck this gunk was out of BB's joints.
"Batteries!" the bot yelled and everyone wondered again why they'd asked Mangle where he'd been hidden.
"But just let me go mess with her!" Toby tried again and Hedy ignored him again.
"No Toby." Toy Freddy said calmly. "Hedy's got enough to deal with without having to put you back together again too."
The rabbit glared at him.
"She made fools of us!" he yelled.
"You didn't need help." Toy Chica remarked which prompted the rabbit to start chasing her.
Toy Freddy sighed and looked over at Hedy.
"I'm dealing with battery boy here. They're your problem Teddy." Hedy shrugged.
Mangle just watched them all while practicing her signs. She had a little more mobility in her hands after another repair session with Hedy.
Ruby watched them from the vent. It was pretty clear what was going on.
Idiot #1 had dared the rest to this spooky adventure. His bratty, catty girlfriend was egging them on. Idiot #2 had taken that dare which is why he and his sister were currently there although his sister was far from happy about it. Idiot #3 was just there to prove that there was nothing to be afraid off and talking about how the supernatural was all fake.
Ruby stifled a laugh.
This was going to be fun.
First, Idiot #2 stumbled across a glitter mine which is to say that he set it off spectacularly making the others scream. Idiot #1 had a rather shrill scream actually. He tried to laugh it off afterwards but they were all a bit jumpy as they moved further.
Seemed their goal was to take photos with the animatronics.
Ruby snickered. They weren't getting near the bots.
"Hey, are those cameras watching us?" the sister asked nervously.
"Nah." Idiot #1 with his false bravado. "This place doesn't have a night guard cause they always get killed remember?"
He laughed at her expression while Idiot #3 rolled his eyes.
At that moment Ruby activated the camera in the room. The light blinked on and followed them as they moved. It froze when they froze.
"Uh, must be motion activated." Idiot #3 said after a moment and the rest were quick to agree.
"Place is really tacky don't you think?" the girlfriend commented as they walked.
Ruby bristled at that. This place was a second home to her!
Glaring she aimed with extreme prejudice and nailed the girlfriend between the shoulder blades with a lovely puke green paintball.
The girl shrieked, making the others jump as Ruby moved away in the vents. It was only getting started after all.
"Hey did ya hear that?" Foxy asked, cocking an ear forward.
The others nodded, looking confused.
"Huh. Toy Bonnie's scream seems extra girly tonight." Bonnie shrugged.
The others accepted this answer and went back to discussing their problems.
"Wonder what that was?" Teddy frowned.
"Probably that antique rabbit getting stuck in the closet with her bombs by accident." Toby scoffed.
The others shrugged and went back to whatever they'd been doing.
Ruby had successfully turned the group of teenagers into a group of crying idiots after another hour. She finally gave herself away when she couldn't stop laughing in the nearby vent though when they triggered a bucket of red paint to land on their heads.
Seems with the legends of the place they jumped to the conclusion that it was blood.
They looked around frantically at the laughing until Ruby dropped out of the vent with a wide grin and waved her paintball gun at them.
"Alright, I'll admit. You guys certainly were fun to mess with." She snickered.
They stared at her in disbelief.
"You…it was…you?" one of them stammered.
"Yup." Ruby grinned. "Got the place wired with traps and my trusty paintball gun to mess with all intruders."
She waved the weapon again.
That's when they started screaming at her.
"Why would you do something like that!?"
"You scared the living daylights out of us!"
Ruby raised an eyebrow. "Kind of the point. Just doing my job."
"Your job?!" Idiot #1 spluttered.
"Yup. Night guard at your service." She grinned.
They stared at her stunned.
"What? Don't think that a teenager can handle the possessed killer robots?" she asked innocently.
"Y-yeah right." Idiot #3 stuttered. "That's just an urban legend. You're the most dangerous thing here nut job."
Ruby grinned wider. "While that may be true I assure you that those legends are very true. But, I can't have idiots like you wandering around here where you can get killed. So looks like you need one final lesson."
She pulled the tablet out as they started talking about suing her and how she was in so much trouble. She flicked between two cameras while smiling sadistically.
"Uh huh. Just remember that my buddies actually like me so they won't like you messing with me much." She snickered.
"Buddies?" one of them asked just as a girlish giggle filled the air.
Goldy materialised in front of them and their screams echoed through the building.
Ruby watched in satisfaction as they ran off while Goldy watched in utter confusion.
"Thanks Goldy!" Ruby chirped happily, hearing the window slam shut.
"Uh…I'm actually not going to ask." The golden bear slowly shook her head.
"I was bored." Ruby shrugged.
"Come on then. The meeting thing is over." She sighed.
Ruby cheered as she skipped back towards the dining hall.
The Toys hadn't even heard anything since there was a screaming match going on between Toby and Toy Chica.
