Part 1: S.A.R.E. and a new test subject
"Hey, William, Got a minute?". "Sure, Henry, need something?". "Yeah, that new guy is digging in places he really shouldn't be.". "... Elaborate.". "Well, you know "that" project we have been working on?". "You mean the S.A.R.E.? Of course I do.". "Well, he is working at that workshop we bought to make parts for it, and now he is trying to find out what exactly the parts are being used for and to say he is digging in places he shouldn't be is an understatement. He is currently trying to track where our trucks go, and the guy is pretty tech-savvy, so I don't doubt he could find a way to track them. What do we do?". "... Send him to my office. He is currently working, is he not? Let me deal with this". "Ok, William, I trust you with this.".
10 minutes later
"So, Mr. Afton, What did you call me for?". "Ah yes, Jearamy, Please take a seat.". "I am going to be straightforward with you: stop trying to track our moving trucks.". "W-What are you talking about?". "Henry just informed me about it. I reviewed the camera footage, so do not lie to me, boy.". "O-Ok, sir, It's just curiosity, you know?". "Yes, curiosity is a great thing. It is how humanity has gotten so far, but it is also very dangerous. Curiosity killed the cat, as they say.". "But here, it won't kill the cat, right, Mr. Afton?". "Probably not, but are you willing to take such a risk? As your career is just starting, do you wish to jeopardize it by following something that will likely lead to nothing?". "... S.A.R.E., what is it?". William's face darkened and grew deadly serious. "How do you know about that?". "I set up a recorder outside your office; I heard your entire conversation with Mr. Emily." "*Sigh* Shame. You were such a promising worker; you could have been one of our best tech experts.". "What are you talking about?". "Goodbye, Jeremy.". With that, a man entered the room and knocked Jearamy out. "What do we do with this man, Mr. Afton?". "Send him to the testing facility. He will be a fine test subject.". With that, The Man picks Jerramy up and leaves, William then picks up Jeremy's phone from the ground, deletes the video, and then crushes the phone with his hands. Henry then walks in and says, "Another subject for the project. At least we got something from this.". "Indeed. Anyway, I have to go pick Elizabeth up from school. Could you take over for a bit?". "Sure, William.".
Part 2: Williams Family and a Deal
William is on his camera feed, He installed a camera system in his mansion to ensure his wife and daughter are safe, For as evil and vile as he is, His wife and daughter mean the world to him. He had two sons in a previous marriage, named Michael and Evan. He visits and calls them and ensures they are getting the proper attention they need and fully pays for their education; he does the same for his sister. His sister was in her dream college thanks to William paying for the costs. He also regularly calls his mother to ensure her well-being, as Williams's father, Oliver, is known as a drunk and abusive man, but ever since William threatened to have him "taken care of" by a few
"friends" of his, he has stopped that, at least when in public.
Henry: "Hey, uh, Will?".
William: "Yeah, Henry?".
Henry: "Jeremy's family is openly protesting against your company; they blame you for his disappearance.".
William: "I see… Henry, send "it" out.".
Henry: "Will uh, Is that necessary?".
William: "Maybe, maybe not; just do it.".
Henry: "It's just that, is this needed? As it has been some time since we last used it.".
William: "Exactly."
Henry: Just realized what William is getting at: "Oh, Will do, same cover story?".
William: "Yes, let them think that 'The Butcher" is back; that should divert the public's attention.".
Henry: "Indeed."
Later that day
The news suddenly interrupted its normal program, and much to the public's horror, "The butcher" has slaughtered another family. It had been a few months since the last attack, so people were living in paranoia. "Excellent… that should stop the public from further looking into his death. Henry, word on the grapevine is that Candy has a serial killer lurking about.". "Yes, and the kills are… grizzly.". "Explain?". "Look at the photos; I sent them to you via email.". William opens the email. "I have seen how our friend the butcher kills, but… this looks like the aftermath of a bear attack, truly fascinating.". "Couldn't agree more.". "Hmmm, I have something to do.". "Alright?".
William drove to the Rat and Cat Theater. As William walked in, a small head peeked from behind him; his son Evan always loved this place, so he thought while talking to Vinnie, the person running the theater, he would let his son socialize, or more likely, just spend his money on the games. Evan was never a people person, which William understood. William decided to walk around the place, looking for Vinnie. He never noticed how strange the RAT and CAT actors were. The Cat was nice enough if a bit too energetic, and Rat… Rat is an interesting character. While he acts nice, he notices how… hostile and quick to temper he is. William watched the rat lure a few children to the back. William decided to continue his search for Vinnie. "Ah, there you are.". "Oh, Mr. Afton, how can I help you?". "I have heard of some… problems that have been going around; is that true?". "I… Yeah, not just here but other Candy's burger and fries establishments.". "Any suspects?". "Well, Rat was the biggest suspect, but there was no concrete proof, so they had to let him go.". "And you are still letting him work here?". "He hasn't done something we can fire him over, and the children like him.".
"You are hiding something.". "W-What are you talking about?". "You know exactly what happened to those children, don't you?". "I—I don't—.". "Don't lie to me; I can see it in your eyes. Now I will ask you: What happened to the children?". Vincent (Vinnie's real name) knew that trying to lie out of this one was not going to work. "Rat… Rat killed them.". "I will tell you what: I will help cover all this up, free of charge.". "Why?". "Simple: Competition is good for business, and my son likes it here.
Now, I think it is best if we pretend this interaction never happened.". "Agreed, this never happened; thankfully, my office is soundproof.".
William walked out and followed where RAT originally went. RAT heard clapping behind him, and when he turned, he saw William, slowly clapping with a smile on his face, and said, "So, we finally meet.". "Who… wait, why do you seem… happy?". "Simple, I come to you with a business deal that will benefit me and you.". "...I'm listening.". "I want you to keep killing; I will keep covering it up. In exchange, I want a few victims alive, and I will pay you for each one that you leave alive. I will also pay you for each body you have left, as I need them for a project of mine. What do you say?". To Rat, this was almost too good to be true, so he decided to ask a question: "Are there any things I shouldn't or can't do?". . "Well, I would like it if you left half of your victims dead and the other half alive. Here is a location where you can dump the bodies, and here is a location to leave any living ones.". "You said you need the dead ones for the project. What do you need the living ones for?". "I sometimes use them in my project, but oftentimes, I have friends on the black market I think would love the deal here, as they are also getting money in their pockets.". "Just what do your friends plan to do with them?". "Either A: They harvest their organs or B: They sell them to the highest bidder.". "Human trafficking…". "Yes. Now what those bidders do with them is unclear to me, but I couldn't care less.". "Have you ever…?". "No, I have not. I am happily married and would not trade my wife for the world. Oh, that is another thing. You see these people in these photos?". William pulled up photos of William and his kids, his mother, his sister, and his current wife, and said, "These people are NOT to be harmed or targeted; doing so will lead to… consequences, do you hear me?". Williams's tone was deadly serious; it was enough to make RAT shiver and hastily agree. Then William asked, "I am curious; how many have you killed?". "About 70 at this point, why?". "Curiosity, also, you know what they say…" William quickly spun around and hit the CAT actor in the head with a knife. "Curiosity killed the cat.". "How long was he standing there?". "No clue, but let's leave; I will have some people come clean this up."
Part 3: time skip and Henry
We skip a few years.
William was sitting in his office, and when he got a call. It was from Mrs. Emily, and William said, "Mrs. Emily, what can I do for you?". "WILLIAM, IT IS AN EMERGENCY!". "What is going on?". "IT'S HENRY; HE HASN'T COME BACK FROM THAT JOB YOU GAVE HIM.". "... I see. I will check on him, so please keep calm; if not for yourself, then for Charlie, ok?". "That is another thing… I haven't seen Charlie all day.". Williams's eyes widened. William was there for Charlie's birth; he was like an uncle to her. William hung up the phone and ran to his car. He drove to the old Fazbear's location, where Henry was supposed to go too. It was investigated after Henry killed over a dozen children. God, that was a nightmare to cover up and a PR disaster. Thankfully, William managed to save face and Henry's skin thanks to his connections and trusted image; the people would never believe that the kind and charitable owner of Afton Robotics would do anything wrong… right? Moving on, William entered the building, and he only had one thought: "Pathetic, this place was pathetic."". Despite what William often said to Henry, William cared little for him and saw him more as a valuable business partner. He did care for Charlie; William isn't sure why he cares for her, but he does. "Oi! Henry! You here?". William heard shuffling from the safe room. William investigated and… He saw Henry; he was springlocked in the Fredbear suit he often wore. Henry reached out his hand toward William, but William only smiled. His theory was correct: constant exposure to Remnant and Agony can cause you to become… more than human, Henry. Realizing that William wasn't going to help him, Henry charged at William, but right before he grabbed him, William simply kicked Henry, which caused the springlocks to be pushed even further into his skin. William then walked out of the room and was on the phone. Henry then heard William leaving as he was taken by a group of people directly to the lab he helped create to be tested and experimented on… horrible? Yes. Deserved? Absolutely. William was frankly done with Henry. If anything, this only helped William. As now he, as the co-founder, now has ownership over Fazbear Entertainment.
"It is with a heavy heart that I take the place as the owner of Fazbear Entertainment of the man I considered a friend, but in reality, he was a monster, a wolf in sheep's clothing, a serial child murderer, and I am going to ensure something like this will never happen again. From this point onwards, Fazbear Entertainment shall not just be about family fun but also safety. I have already started the preparations for new security methods to be put in place. More security cameras with built-in facial recognition systems, tied to a criminal database, the animatronics will have similar things built in; there will be many other security measures built in, so be assured, I will not just ensure your family's joy but also safety; alongside this, I will be providing funding to law enforcement and be giving them better equipment; they will be the most well-trained and equipped police force in the country, so to those fearing leaving your homes, fear no longer, as while today is a day of horror, tomorrow shall be a new day, a day of hope and security.". The crowd cheered; William was always a great speaker, and to the people, he was also a great man… but beneath the surface…
"... Henry, oh Henry, you just HAD to try and hide; they are ghosts, nothing more.". Henry was almost incapable of speaking, so all he could do was glare at William. "Your own daughter, Henry? It is the duty of a father to protect his child, not abuse or mistreat them, let alone kill them.". " , o-one to t…a..lk, y-you s-se…nt M-Mike t…o his death!". William's face had a look of sadness after Henry said that. "Unlike you, Henry, I deeply regret that… my boys… I miss my boys. One died in YOUR restaurant, and the other died in mine… I was the one who paid for their funerals. I was there when their caskets were lowered into the ground. Unlike you, I love my family. You? You only care for yourself. People could call me a monster, but I still have a heart. you? You are a true monster."
Since this is likely the end of Henry's story, I will go over what Henry has done:
Over 100 murders, dozens of kidnappings, and all those he kidnapped were sold to the black market. While William did order him to do most of them, Henry still took joy in it; he also killed his own daughter and planned to kill his wife, simply for "getting in the way of his work.".
Part 4: The end of RAT and Henry
So, Michael's and Evan's deaths are much the same, so going over them is a bit pointless, but let's see what happened to Henry before his fateful end.
"That was easy enough. Those animatronics didn't know what happened. I wonder why William needed them destroyed; I suppose it could be for remnant, but he already has better sources.". "WE REMEMBER.". "Huh?". "THAT BEHIND THE MASK". "WHAT?!". "THERE WAS A MAN" "A VERY BAD MAN" "AND THAT MAN'S NAME WAS" Suddenly over a dozen spirits appeared and said in unison "HENRY EMILY!". "N-NO!" Henry ran to the safe room, but was chased by the spirits, Henry, in his panic, decided to flee into his Fredbear suit, to try and regain control of the situation, maybe, in the suit he killed them in, he would regain control, he could- SNAP, the Springlocks snapped shut, he started to scream, and beg for the suit to be taken off, and as he started to drown in his blood, he came to a horrifying realization, his interaction with Agony and Remnant allowed him to live, but this immortality was a curse to him, as the Springlocks have impaled his body from every angle, but the Remnant constantly healed the damage they were causing, causing a constant loop of pain, healing, and pain, never-ending pain and torment, But I think he deserved this, don't you?
RAT was a barbaric killer, he used an axe or a hammer to kill, and he even once said to one of his victims "You will be in pieces before you die", RAT was a monster, with a kill count now nearly in the triple digits, while his neglectful parents and his lack of guidance might garner sympathy, do not feel bad for him, he has made his choices, and he doesn't seem bothered by it, as when someone tries to bring it up, he scoffs at them, almost mocking them to try and find any humanity in him, because he thought he was above humanity, he has a God complex, plain and simple, but even he knows his limits, as he doesn't dare disobey hurt Williams family, but little did he know, karma had other plans for him.
RAT, after killing the latest group of people, something… happened; a shadow version of Candy appeared and said, "NEVER FORGIVE" in… Cat's voice? It then charged into him and caused the remnant and agony in its body to completely disfigure RAT and infused him into the suit; in other words, RAT IS the suit now, causing him immense amounts of pain, but RAT regained his footing and slowly shambled to Shadow Candy, saying, "Y-You will pay for this," before collapsing to the ground. Everything went black, and when he woke up, he was staring up at William. "Have a good rest?". "W-What are you doing?". "Extracting your remnant and agony, like I did with Henry.". "Y-You-". "Yes, yes, I know. Trust me, though; the three of us have a place in hell reserved for us. Keep mine warm while you're there.". William pressed the button, and RAT's body instantly went limp. Giving William exactly what he wanted…
Part 5: Animosity and The End…?
"Animosity… my finest creation, with a mixture of Remnant and Agony, I will be immortal and have superhuman strength. I have already informed my wife and daughter; no one else must know. My mother would have a heart attack if she learned what I've done, and my sister, well, she has always been a bit too talkative, but in some ways, I love that about her: she is honest. I remember when we were kids and we opened presents on Christmas, one of the few days of my childhood I look back on with fondness, but it doesn't matter now."
"I have already injected myself with it, but the public seems to have caught on to what I have done. So I already prepared a cover story for my family; not knowing what I have done, my mother and sister likely wouldn't believe it, but my wife and daughter already know what I have done, not that they care. I write this all down before I burn it as a way to clear my thoughts.".
William then leaves his office and outside, where an angry mob awaits, "Monster!" "Bastard!". "Child killer!". "Correct, I am all of those things, but what exactly are you going to do about it?". They all charged him, William responded by grabbing the nearest one by the neck and snapping it, he then pulled out his knife and started cutting his way through multiple people, and when he was disarmed, and he quickly began using his bare hands to bludgeon and rip apart them apart, one he ripped the heart through his chest, the other he ripped the arm off of and hit him over the head with it, and proceeded to pull out his pistol to gun down the ones who were running away, and due to the fact the lab was outside the city, there was no help coming that way, William made sure there were no survivors, he then had all the bodies burned by his staff.
William then proceeded to go to an abandoned Freddy's restaurant to finish the final thing, as all other Freddy's locations were destroyed. It is time to end this once and for all, William thought as he walked into the building. He knew that there were spirits around here, but he didn't expect the spirits to be so hostile and aggressive. Well, he did expect it, but he didn't expect them actually to throw him around and then proceed to put him in a Springlock suit and springlocked him… the entire time… William was laughing and said, "What? Did you expect me to cry? Beg? Scream? NOT A CHANCE! I have dug my own grave, and I will gladly lay in it. This angered the spirits, especially Cassidy; she wanted to hear him cower, but no matter how much pain he was in, William refused to give him that satisfaction…
A few hours later
William was lying in his own blood, but then… his eye began to twitch… and then, his raspy laughter rang through the halls of the old location, as this story... ends.
