"Lads what the bloody hell is this?!" Michael shouted after seeing the Heartless. Sora and his friends wiped out their weapons once more.
Magic or not, they had to take this down.
"I only have one Megalixir, I was saving it for an emergency!" Sora said as he took out the material. "Well! Use it on us!" Roxas said. "Because this is an emergency!"
Sora nodded, then threw the material in the air, and he and Roxas got their strength and magic back.
Sora and Roxas felt a power rush, then instantly got into their battle stances. "Michael, stand behind us!" Sora yelled.
Michael nervously, stood behind them. "Please be careful with whatever the hell this thing is!"
"Don't worry... we'll be fine!" Roxas said. "FREEZE!" Roxas yelled, he teleported in an ice-like shard, zoomed up to the heartless Afton, and slashed his keyblade on it, then followed by Sora who zapped it with lighting magic.
The heartless managed to grab Sora, but then Hayner blasted it back with an exploding arrow. The heartless floated in the air, then flew down to Roxas slapping him. The two keyblade user, slammed into Hayer, making him drop his bow and arrow.
"Guys!" Sora yelled. He quickly turned his attention back to the Heartless. He aimed his keyblade at the Heartless. "STOPZA!" He yelled.
The beam slammed into the Heartless of Afton, freezing him. Then, Sora leaped from the ground, then slammed his keyblade into his enemy. He repeatedly hit and slashed the Kingdom Key into William Afton. Then was until Stopza had worn off.
"Gravity!" Sora yelled. Afton drifted up into the air. Sora then aimed the keyblade at him again, "FIRE!" He yelled. Flames slammed into the dark Heartless.
At that point, Roxas came running to Afton, he jumped, the slashed the Otathkeeper into him, followed by the Oblivion. After Roxas slammed Afton to the ground, he chanted a spell.
Roxas hovered into the air, and beams of light shined up into the sky.
"Roxas! Don't you'll use too much magic!" Sora yelled.
Beams of light zapped into Afton's Heartless, it couldn't move. It had to endure the magic. The powerful beams of light, exploded, blasting Afton back. But it still wasn't over.
Afton still had a lot of strength left.
"He's weakened, but he's still coming back for more!" Roxas said once he recovered from using that hefty amount of magic.
Roxas twirled his two keyblades around in a circular motion, and a shock wave blasted into the Heartless. "Come on Sora! It was weak with fire, try to use a powerful fire spell if you can think of any!"
Sora tried to remember what spell could use powerful fire.
"Wait I have an idea!" Roxas said. "Weaken him before you use the fire magic-," Roxas aimed his keyblade at Sora. "Come on, use Duel Stance!"
Sora blinked. "W-What?! B-But that'll weaken you!"
"It's fine!" Roxas yelled. "I'll be fine! Just to get rid of Afton's Heartless,"
Sora nodded. Afton was now getting up, so he had to act fast.
Hayner tried to keep the Heartless at bay with the exploding arrows. "Hurry up guys!" He yelled.
Sora closed his eyes. Then, he felt power entering him.
And the he stole the power from Roxas.
He opened his eyes and looked straight at Afton, who was trying to attack Hayner.
"Anytime now Sora! He's dodging my arrows!" Hayner yelled.
Sora crouched down, then leaped off of the ground. Roxas gasped as he watched. "Get him Sora!"
The Kingdom Key and the two keyblades that Roxas wields collided down onto Afton and kept slashing him. The darkness on him shook and vibrated. "AHHH!" Afton yelled. Sora kept on beating Afton's Heartless repeatedly with the flying keyblades.
That was until he couldn't use Roxas's power anymore.
Sora then landed on the ground near Afton. He knew exactly what fire spell to use, "It's time to end this-," Sora said as he clenched his keyblade. He aimed it at Afton once again.
"FIREAGA!" Sora yelled.
A huge blast of fireballs, shot out of Sora's keyblade. Straight into Afton
The blast from the fire was Afton's last stand.
The Heartless poofed away in a dark mist, and a pink Heart then rose into the sky.
"Holy shit..." Sora said as he stuck his keyblade into the ground, then leaned on it. "Now that was... That was something alright,"
"We really need to get back home to restock," Roxas said.
"But we can't!" Sora said. "We have to find them gem whether we want to or not. The door back home won't show up until we do,"
Hayner sighed. "Well, at least we were able to get food, we wouldn't be able to keep moving forward if we didn't," He said.
"Well, we gotta thank Michael for that one," Sora said.
That's when they remembered about Michael. They all turned their heads toward him. And there he was, staring at them with his mouth hung open. "Did... Did I just see a boss battle play out in front of me eyes? That looked like I was seeing a bloody video game!" Michael yelled.
Sora could only just chuckle. "Well, that's how it is... with us, ha..." He said.
Michael walked forward. Then he looked down at the lifeless Spring-Bonnie suit on the ground. "What happened to it? Why did he look like... a Night Watcher..." Michael said.
"That dark figure is what looks like a Night Watcher," Hayner remarked.
Sora sighed. "What you saw was a Heartless. It happens to people when you Heart falls to the darkness. It wasn't any mystery why it happened to Afton," He said.
Michael nodded, "Y-Yeah,"
"But it's strange though. As much as I know, this shouldn't happen on your side, only ours," Sora said. "That Dark Figure is what is causing this I reckon,"
"That means we gotta watch out for the Heartless like these from now on," Roxas said.
"I'm a little scared. I never fought the Heartless before. I never fought anything before!" Hayner yelled. Roxas came up to Hayner and placed his hand on his shoulder.
"It'll be alright Hay. It'll be alright. You did pretty well anyways. I wasn't expecting you to be so good with the bow and arrow, but it's like you're a pro at it!" Roxas said with a smile, as he held Hayner's shoulder tightly.
"You really think so?" Hayner asked.
Roxas nodded, "Of course!" He said smiling softly at him.
"Roxas is right Hayner! You became a good archer!" Sora smiled.
Hayner blushed from all the praise he was getting but then tried to play it off. "Y-Yeah! I know I'm good!"
Roxas just playfully rolled his eyes.
Michael was crouched down, studying the animatronic. "This... really was Spring-Bonnie. God damn... He really got spring locked. Springtrap shall be his name from now on," Michael said.
Behind Sora, Sora could hear a glittering sound. He slowly looked behind him and saw the door.
Sora knew that Roxas didn't want Michael to know about the door yet, so he quickly nudged Roxas.
Roxas looked at Sora, then behind him. He slightly gasped.
"Come on," He whispered, then he, and Sora and Hayner, went into the door.
"Right? The Springtrap? That's a fitting name isn't it lads?" Michael turned around, only to see that everyone had disappeared. He blinked. "Lads?" He asked.
He looked around. "Bloody hell, did they leave again?" He asked himself. He stood up. "They're like Batman, I'm telling you,"
He looked back at the flaming restaurant. "I have to get out of here before the fire department comes," Michael was about to leave, but then he heard a voice.
"Michael..." Said a stern voice.
Michael turned his head, only to see a spirit.
"Gabriel?" He asked. But it wasn't Gabriel. It was a girl. "Wait... who are you?" He asked. After getting a good look, he finally figured it out. "Oh! Cassidy! Um... Hi!"
Cassidy just looked at him with a grave expression.
"W-Why are you looking at me like that?" Michael asked.
"No reason..." Cassidy said. "You best be out of here Michael. Or else the fire department will come and blame you for this,"
Michael nodded, "R-Right! That's what I was about to do..." He said. "By the way, how are the other spirits? How is my Evan?" He asked.
"They're fine," Cassidy said. "Now leave, I can sense the Hurricane fire department coming,"
Michael nodded. "Oh... ok. Well, goodbye..." Michael turned around, then left.
Watching him to make sure he was out of her sight, Cassidy turned to the lifeless Spring-Bonnie.
She put her hand on it and chanted a spell.
The animatronic shook. Then, it sat up.
The suit was burned to a crisp, it fell off as the Animatronic sat up. Now it was the metal endo skeleton, with pieces of bone fragments crushed in the joints. With a skull at the head of the robot.
"They killed you," Cassidy said. "Can't say I blame them," She floated in front of Afton. "Look at you. You disgusting serial killer." She said with disgust in her voice.
"W-What's happening?!" Afton yelled.
"You are going to be in pain. Do you think I was lying when I told you were going to live in torture? No Afton... I was not lying," Cassidy said with her voice on edge.
"Enjoy your free moment for now Afton. I still have something big in store," Then Cassidy disappeared.
"No! Don't leave me here!" Afton yelled. "Cassidy!"
"Jumping crickets... I thought you three were never going to come out of the door!" Yelled Adventure Fredbear. "It felt like you were in there for days!"
"Yeah, we were in there for a while," Sora said as he shut the door.
"At least we got food! Because if we didn't, that would have been horrible," Hayner said.
"You think about food so much for you to have abs," Roxas joked as he tickled Hayner on his belly. "Rochahahaxs! Shahahahap!" Hayner yelled as he pushed Roxas's hand away from his belly. Roxas giggled. "Someone's ticklish~," Roxas teased as he tickled Hayner's belly button, and Hayner shrieked in laughter.
Adventure Fredbear just stood there watching them, then he looked at Sora. "They're in love with each other, they just don't know it yet," Sora whispered to Adventure Fredbear with a small giggle in his words.
Fredbear smiled and chuckled. "Haha, I see,"
"Boys, we still got some other doors we gotta enter, so stop your flirting," Sora teased.
Hayner shoved Roxas off of him. "W-We are not flirting!" Hayner yelled. Roxas just giggled.
Hayner looked at the other doors.
There were three doors left.
"Geez, what are we going to do? We have no magic stuff left. Please, I hope it won't be anything as bad as that Heartless..."
"Heartless?" Adventure Fredbear asked. "You all still won't tell me what you really do in these doors. What really happens?"
"Fredbear... I'm sorry, but we can't tell you," Sora said. He turned around to the new door. "Come on guys, I know the sound of the birds sounds peaceful here, but we gotta go, alright?"
Hayner groaned. "Geez, can't we just take a breather for a few minutes? Nah, hours?"
"Come on, the sooner we complete this world, the better. Then we can take a long break before jumping into a new world,"
Sora walked up to the door and opened it. "Come on guys,"
"Hello?" Called out Michael. "Is this the place?" He said to himself.
He walked up to the building. "Why does this building look so... weird looking?"
He knocked on the door.
Someone came to the door. "Uh! Hello! You must be... Mike Schmidt? Welcome!" The man said. "My name is Henry Emily, and this is a new restaurant that's about to open," The man said.
Michael nodded. "I know who are you. You're one of the founders of Fazbear's." He said.
Henry blinked at him. "O-Oh... that's right! Yes,"
Michael looked at him. "Why are you developing this... restaurant, where you want someone else to run it? The job listing stated that you want someone to open a franchise. And order robots? I'm sorry, but your franchise is cursed. I think it's high time to just give up,"
Henry sighed, "Listen, buddy, do you want the job or not? You are the one who applied for the listing,"
"Do you know who I am?" Michael asked.
"Yes, Mike Schmidt. As it said on your resume,"
"That's not my actual name Mr. Emily,"
Henry blinked. "You faked your name? That's a federal offense," The man said folding his arms.
"My name is Michael Afton,"
"Well, I don't care what your actual nam-," Henry froze for a bit. He blinked. "Did you just say Michael Afton?" Henry asked.
Michael nodded.
Henry looked around to make sure no one was watching, then pulled Michael inside the building. "Come inside,"
Henry took Michael to an office, then turned on the lights.
"Michael, wow. It's been years since I've ever seen, or heard from you! I haven't seen you since you were 15 years old!" Henry said as he sat on his desk.
Michael sat on the other side. "Yeah, it's been a while, hasn't it? You wouldn't have wanted to see me a while ago. I still feel broke from it, but at least my face got cleaned up,"
"What do you mean, Michael?" Henry asked, leaning forward on his desk.
Michael explained everything about what his father did, and what he experienced in Circus Baby's Party and Rental.
Henry was just looking at Michael with a disgusted face. "Jesus, I know your father is a bastard... but wow,"
Michael sighed, then leaned back in the chair. "Why did you come back to this franchise? Are you really trying to start over?"
"Actually Michael," Henry took off his glasses and set it on the desk. He looked up at Michael. "This isn't going to be a real restaurant,"
Michael tilted his head confused. "Not a real restaurant? What do you mean by that?"
Henry sighed. "There's lost souls out there Michael," he said. "And they're all just lurking around in the shadows as animatronics,"
"Huh? But I thought most of them got free?" Michael asked.
"Wait, you know what I'm referring to?"
"Yes! I do! For a very long time, I've been even talking to some of the spirits! And, I've-"
"Hold on, you've been what now?" Henry tilted his head.
"It's a long story, Mr. Emily," Michael said. "But, long story short, William Afton is no more. I set fire to Fazbear's Fright, and Afton is dead now,"
"That was you?!" Henry yelled. "You set the fire to Fazbear's Fright?!"
Michael nodded. "Yep. I had to try something. And, it worked,"
"It didn't," Henry said.
"Wait, what?!" Michael gasped. "What do you mean it didn't work?!"
"William Afton is still out there, along with my own daughter's spirit, and your sister, Elizabeth. And countless other souls," Emily said.
Michael sighed and covered his face. "Oh god..."
"This is what this place is for. It's a fake pizzeria. The employee was supposed to be also brainwashed that this is a restaurant. They were supposed to capture the animatronics that would wonder here and put them inside, and have all of the animatronics be melted by fire,"
Michael blinked. "Wait, how the hell am I supposed to capture a robot?! What do you think this is, Pokémon Animatronic Edition?"
Henry just chuckled. "It's the only way. They'll get lured here- look..."
Henry put a few papers on his desk. "What are these?" Michael asked. He picked one up to look at it.
-Employees only: Paragraph 4-
Prompt 1 : Results □ No □ Yes □ Unsure
Prompt 2 : Results □ No □ Yes □ Unsure
Prompt 3 : Results □ No □ Yes □ Unsure
Prompt 4 : Results □ No □ Yes □ Unsure
Additional Notes _
"What is this?" Michael asked looking at the paper.
"This-," Henry tapped the paper. "Is a Salvaging Checklist. I was not expecting someone with knowledge about what's going on to be here, so everything that is going to be playing on the tape will speak to you as if you don't know what's going on. You will collect the animatronics that show up in the back alley. They'll be delivered to your table for you in the dark room. You will have audio Prompts that show if the animatronic reacts to it. If they do, that means they're possessed. If they are, you keep it. Understood?"
Michael sighed and nodded.
"If the animatronic starts to get too unstable to your liking from the sound, use a tazer that'll zap them, alright?" Henry said.
"Wow, ok..." Michael said.
"Alright, so let's get to work," Henry said as he stood up. Then there was a knock on the door, then it opened.
"Sora! You can't just open the door like that! What if this was a bathroom!" Roxas yelled.
Michael gasped after hearing the voices.
"Who's that?" Henry asked.
Michael quickly ran to the door and opened it. "Guys!" He smiled.
"Mike!" Sora exclaimed. "We were wondering where you are!"
"Who are they?" Henry asked.
"Just a couple of old friends," Michael smiled. "Is it ok if they can stay with me? They've also been with me with the explosion of the restaurant," Michael said.
"Well, as long as they don't do any problems. And keep them away from the animatronics. I don't want them getting hurt,"
Michael left the room and had Sora and his friends follow him. "Well, it's good to see you again!"
"It's nice to see you again too, but did that mean just say animatronic?" Hayner asked.
Michael sighed. "Yep, they're back,"
"What?!" Sora, Roxas, and Hayner yelled at once. "The ghost children, or...?"
"I'll explain to you when we get to the back ally," Michael said.
