Work Text:
it was the dead of night in Hurricane Utah, an blizzard had settled into the town that had so much bad reputation in it from one chain of pizza places, the fazbear legacy, the other location with the toy animatronics, were trying to be open once more, but of course they had it closed down for the night due to the blizzard on their grand reopening after the accident of the last location.
there was of course a guard there, there always is. he spent the entire night warding off the animatronics, tampering with them, putting them from the lowest difficulty to the highest difficulty through unknown means, it was like any other night in this cursed place though, surviving against the bots until the last breath. but this time, it was different. how you might ask? well. sadly we cannot show the whole ordeal but... we can show the aftermath of it.
when it was around 6 AM, and still dark out, two Staff members were walking on the path they had shoveled as they opened up the doors to the pizzeria, walking into it, as they went to the main stage area, their eyes widened upon seeing the state of it.
The whole place looked like it was nearly burnt to the ground, with tables turned, arcade machines destroyed, stage lights broken off, and falling ceiling pieces, and the robots... oh boy. Toy Freddy was completely torn apart, the mouth was pried open, the chest was exposed, the leg was torn off, the hands were exposed, parts of the arms and shoulder were chipped off, half the ear was gone, and half of the right side of his face was gone, his body was charred, almost like it had been caught in the fire.
Toy Bonnie was found next, the chest was even more exposed, an arm was missing, the mouth completely torn off, cracks around the body, the hand exposed, the arm having rips and tears in it, half of the leg was exposed, with more cracks and tears in it, half the face was gone, only seeing the endo skeleton part, and the guitar was rammed into it's body, he was also charred up, the eyes lifeless, with one of them torn off.
Toy Chica was found next, her body charred up like the others, her stomach and waist exposed, her upper leg exposed, her foot exposed, her entire wrist exposed, her hand was exposed, her beak was forced off, and jabbed into her circuit board, rips and tears in the rest of her body, and her eyes were completely missing, black empty sockets, her cupcake and plate, jammed and stuck to her head and leg. speaking of her head, the entire upper half of it was destroyed, and wires were poking out of her just like with toy Freddy and toy bonnie.
JJ was just a pile of scraps when they found her.
As for the Mangle and balloon boy... well. they found them along with whoever attacked them, it was the guard they hired! their flashlights shined as the night guard, with his back turned, had torn off the entire upper head of the mangle, the even more heavily destroyed and damaged body of the mangle fell to the ground, wires poking out, parts of it were burnt, and it's second head was lodged into it's stomach, the endo wasn't even worth repairing since it was melted together almost, the guard's uniform was COVERED in oil and other stuff, he had a axe in his hand, having grabbed onto an damaged balloon boy
both eyes were gone, the arm was gone, the leg was missing, and the sign was stabbed into the body, and it was also burnt up too, it was struggling it seemed to even stay active as it was slammed to the ground with a surprising amount of force, having it's head be stomped on by the night guard, oil leaking out of the sockets as the guard twirled his axe slightly, the other was about to chop off the head of balloon boy, until...
"MISTER FRITZ SMITH!"
the two staff members shouted out, with the guard freezing, turning around quickly as his face was covered by a bandana and goggles, before running on off quickly with the two staff members chasing after 'Fritz Smith' he kept on running towards a window, tossing balloon boy towards it as the glass shatters, Balloon boy falling onto the snow as the guard jumped out the window, grabbing a large brown coat, and ran on off as the two staff members watched him go, both of them looking at eachother with a bit of concern in their eyes.
Management was called in later on to clean up the mess, their boss, Henry Emily came in, seeing the state of every animatronic, but he was informed by something else, the Puppet was missing, the only animatronic that wasn't around during the night at all was the puppet, it's box was opened, and the back door was completely torn apart, suggesting that the animatronic itself had escaped.
trying to salvaged what was left, the company gathered up the remains and scraps of the rest of the toy animatronics since they couldn't be repaired at all, and were looking for a new way to keep the business going, when one day, while exploring the closed down freddy fazbear's pizzeria, finding the remains of the original four, Freddy, Bonnie, Chica, and Foxy, they found another animatronic in the parts and service room, an tall, withered, bloodied stained reptile looking animatronic with dimmed red eyes and three rows of spines... along with finding an small Axolotl animatronic in the toy animatronics's pizzeria, and a dragon knight looking animatronic in circus baby's pizza world, and blue-prints for a large bat like animatronic, and an odd animatronic found in the shed of the newest location that they made, an old animatronic that had makeshift parts on it, and covered itself in a cloak, and had a odd mask of sorts, it was left in the parts and service room. the plan was set into motion, as while Henry was busy making another animatronic though kept top secret about it, fazbear company used what they found, repaired them with the scraps of the toys and original animatronic, and putted them to work.
not knowing that one of their robots, the reptile one, wasn't like the others, it was.... well... it's best to just show you all... let's start back at the beginning, shall we? as they were checking the program of the animatronic, to see if the reptile's software was still working properly, some of the staff had found it's memory, and watched through it..
Meanwhile, some of the other staff members screamed, when the rest came on by, they found the real Fritz Smith, having been torn and pierced into, with an odd white wolf like animatronic besides him, blood on the jaws, but damaged slightly, the toy version of an former animatronic that was also at the diner, this toy like version was known as Melodia, the animatronic looked like it was forcefully removed even, with it's body slightly damaged.
as for how they figured out that this was the real Fritz-Smith, his name-tag was on his uniform still, so. whoever was in here... it wasn't Fritz-Smith. how long had the body been here?
and why didn't nobody else check it? if the person the two staff members were chasing wasn't Frit smith then.... who was it?
elsewhere, the person named Fritz Smith panted, before, he takes off his hood, huffing slightly, frowning a bit. damn it. he almost got caught, almost got caught, fuck. he huffs and pants slightly, damn it Jeremy! could of warned Fritz and then himself! he huffs, sighing as he rubs his covered face that had bandages over it, concealing almost his entire face, minus the odd white glow from it.
"damn it... need to be more careful..... that's one more place down.... need to lay low again.... sorry Fritz.... at least we found out what happened to your Brother....." he said quietly to himself, before putting his hood back up, and walking on off further and further away.
back inside the damaged and burnt up pizzeria, they managed to bring out the large reptile suit, noticing the faint red hue in it's odd eyes, along with a scar like chest that had been painted over, but dirtied overtime, they figured that this and the wolf were the only ones salvageable to be put in Juniors, and so, they took them, the suit's A.I being aware the whole time as it was being put up for repairs, being shut off as it's creator accessed it's memory banks....

ENJOY YOUR NEW ANIMATRONIC, PLEASE NOTE THERE IS-
Big Black yellow eyes opened up as the new being looked around it's surroundings, moving around it's head "he's already awake? interesting." an voice came out, an friendly one, the eyes widened slightly, flicking the ears slightly as it listened again to another voice "Fredbear only took 3 hours to finally awake, and this one awoke in a matter of seconds.... must be eager." the other voice was more bold, rough, and British. but not as friendly as the other one "well. we did promised them to make the robot as soon as possible to promote their new movies William."
so the name of the not so friendly voice was William? interesting to know, it looked around, seeing three more animatronics, an tall lanky figure with long arms, green eyes, a round face with a odd smile in the place of a mask with red cheeks, stripes on the arms, and buttons on it's body, the legs were long and pointy, not meant for walking. the other animatronic wasn't as tall but just as big and heavy, a brownish golden colored rabbit with a purple vest with stars on it, three black buttons, bright green eyes, an small hint of buck-teeth on the mouth, and a light colored purple bowtie, it seemed inactive just like the odd tall and lanky robot.
The third one looked like an golden wolf like animatronic with greenish eyes, and wearing an Rockstar like outfit, and like the other two, it was also inactive, this one was named Lawrence The Wolf, or as the friendly voice called him, Liam. speaking of, it heard the voice again.
"it's looking around it's surroundings." the friendly voice said "of course it is, we did make them to be learning computers after all Henry." so the friendly voice was named William? neat. it tried to move, rumbling quietly as chains were released from it's body, staggering a bit as it blinks, staring at it's feet as it moves around, it was around 5 feet basically, one of the smallest animatronics so far before other creations.
it's tail wasn't that long, but enough to be dragged onto the ground, having three rows of spines on it's back, with the middle row being bigger, it had rough, bumpy, usually charcoal gray scales with a keloid scar or tree bark-like texture, a fairly small head with prominent eyebrow-like ridges over the eyes, moderately long, humanoid arms with four fingers including an opposable thumb, thick, muscular legs, a long, powerful, segmented tail, and three rows of generally bone-white dorsal plates.
it has a reptilian, wedge-shaped head with a large, wide mouth attached to a fairly short, serpentine neck. The face is round and lumpy with a large upper jaw and a thin lower jaw, and the nose is similar to that of a crocodilian or Chinese dragon. The cranium is small relative to the rest of the head, and resembles the sagittal crest found on gorillas. The head also sports a pair of small, pointed, ears. The eyes are round and have white sclera with large black pupils, The teeth are conical in shape and, with the exception of a pair of large fangs on the upper jaw, they are all uniform in size.
it also has a barrel-shaped upper body with wide shoulders and a prominent sternum accompanied by a concave collarbone. The biceps are quite large and roughly twice as wide as the forearms. The hands are considerably wider than the wrists and sport four semi-webbed digits each. The legs on this design are fairly short, columnar, and quite muscular, and sport prominent knees. The feet are plantigrade and very wide, being comparable in thickness with the legs themselves. Like the hands, the feet also sport four clawed semi-webbed digits each. This suit's tail is fairly short in proportion to its body, having a rough underside, a pointed tip, and faint tail segments,
Basically this was just the original Godzilla suit, but with bigger eyes, and in the style of animatronics, having brown colorations on it's underside, with the rest being black, though of course for the suit mode of this one to be activated, the animatronic was quickly readjusted to be slimmer in build, but overall it was perfect. it looks around it's new surroundings with a sense of awe in the eyes, before glancing over as the friendly voice and the not so friendly voice came closer as he could see the other's appearances quite well "you are called Nautilus, you were made in a deal we made with Toho to promote their movies starting their character, Godzilla." Henry explained, with the other tilting it's head slightly "he means that your a special case." William said, snorting lightly "so, go on out, the other three will awaken shortly."
he said, with the animatronic blinking slightly before obeying as it turned around and walked off, hearing something else from the two "why did you convince me to use parts of the work in progress animatronics to have the construction of this one be faster?" but that was all the other heard before it arrived to what was outside the room it was build in, perking up at the state everything was in, before noticing an large golden bear on the stage, tilting it's head slightly as it lumbers towards the stage, the bear was dressed fancy, having a purple vest, black pants, white shirt, a black bowtie, purple hat, and calm blue eyes, he glanced towards the other and perked up, beaming slightly "well hello there!!!" a robotic voice came out of the other Bot
Nautilus looked both ways, before pointing at himself with a curious head tilt "yeah you! howdy there! the name's Fredbear! it's nice to meet ya! who are you?" he asked, with the other rumbling quietly, nervous and shy as he looked down before glancing back "s....salvage." he said, with the other blinking, before laughing "t-that's a nice one! come on what's your real name?" he asked, with the other blinking as he shrugs "N...Na....Nautilus..... i was... informed t...to... come here... a..and wait with you.. for... others?" he explained, with Fredbear perking up "oh! your one of our new brothers and friends! henry told me there were more being made! yeah! my little brother Bons is still trying to wake up, and Puppet's pretending to be asleep! Liam is still an work in progress but give it time and the whole band will be together!" he said, as Nautilus tilts his head, p...pretending....? what was he talking about, he just woke up and already there's things he's learning left and right
but he didn't want to be rude, so the newly awakened animatronic shook Fredbear's hand "see! that wasn't so hard now was there?" he said, with Nautilus nodding his head, having a smile forming on his face, before the doors opened slightly, and the remaining three animatronics came in, Spring-Bonnie, Liam, and The Puppet. The three were a bit in awe at the sight of the diner, and were introduced to fredbear and Nautilus, and just like that. the four became a family, with Nautilus and Liam having more or less a close friendship but, anyways. for the four of them, Fredbear was the oldest of the bunch, and Spring-Bonnie was the youngest, Nautilus was the most quiet and the Puppet was the most curious. and Liam himself was the most confident, Henry loved and adored them all, including Fredbear since he was his favorite creation, he taught them all that he knew, even if William said that they shouldn't be learning about the outside at all and should just remain as robots that are programmed for one thing. though of course He'd never say that out loud, that was why Puppet was here, they were always thinking, and could move everywhere.
Nautilus met Henry's kids for the first time, the two really seemed to like Puppet, while William's kids, Elizabeth and Michael seemed to like Fredbear and Spring-Bonnie, well. mainly Michael since Elizabeth didn't seem interested. the only one who did have a small liking to him was the youngest of the bunch, Chris Evan Afton, he would always look at him in wonder but stayed a bit of a ways away, but that was fine, at least someone likes him.
When night came around he would just spend the time patrolling around the Diner like his night mode intended it to be while the others rest. during his patrol he eavesdropped on a conversation that Henry and William were having, learning how they were all made with some other special thing, and henry getting a bit awfully mad at the whole thing before leaving it at that. as the days and weeks go on, the business was booming and the kids loved them all, Puppet stayed by the entrance in their box, Liam was in his spot, and Fredbear and Spring-Bonnie would be either on the stage, or roaming around with henry and william using their suits, while He would retell programmed stories inputted into his mind about the adventures that Godzilla had to kids, making them believe that he was the king of the monsters, it was all right, business booming around, and everything was perfect. but then one day. everything went wrong.
it was a rainy day, and he'd had notice some kids were running off giggling but didn't pay too much mind into it, only later on in the day like maybe around the last few hours before closing did he hear one of his creators letting out a scream as he was having a chat with Fredbear, Nautilus rushed on over, and he didn't remember what happened afterwards
he remembered walking. and then, being paralyzed by droplets of rain, before finding a small body, not knowing who it was, his program had him approach and comfort the child. before forcing himself to try and come back, before falling down, keeping the child close, he felt slashes tearing at him, but he still curled up around the child, before he briefly got a glimpse of a shadow before he powered down due to the damage done to him by the rain.
when he finally rebooted, he couldn't remember much, just that Fredbear was worried, with Liam asking why was he covered in red paint, and why a child he had curled up around him, he didn't even notice that had cuts around his casting when it was pointed out. before suddenly, he froze when some of the small Staff brought in a heavily damaged Puppet due to the rain, and noticed how they too were a bit coated in blood, and that wasn't all, his eyes widened as through the rain-droplets, he could see the Bodies of Sammy and Charlotte being pulled into an ambulance, apparently Sammy was the one he was carrying, as for who was attacking him, no one saw. nor he. and he didn't even recall WHY he found Sammy in the first place, he just heard his scream.
at first he heard some of the staff trying to figure out why this happened. it would later be too late as they had been dead for around a couple of hours, with the Puppet looking worst for wear. along with that, two other kids. Jake and Andrew are reported to be missing, with only their arms and legs being revealed in the vents by one of the engineers, this would be the first of many incidents that would destroy the legacy of what henry and william had made.
While the deaths were traumatizing, business carried on, Puppet was given a whole new look all together, a new mask, body, arms, with purple or blue streaks underneath the eyes, along with red cheeks and red lipstick, but their eyes had forever remained hollow and blacked out, making them nearly blind almost if it hadn't been for their programming scanning for every child. Fredbear had been given a more chunky appearance with his dapper outfit being used for Spring-Bonnie instead, who now had a completely golden color, while he remained the same, though his yellow eyes were a bit more golden in color and his suit was given a bit of a new paint-job due to the rain rusting him up, the slashes around his shell remained though sadly.
Liam remained the same too, Puppet was acting differently throughout this period, almost like something had changed in them. but none of them could figure it out, though they all saw that both william and henry were on very thin ice, and were told by henry that he had just lost his daughter in a gas leak accident in a new sister location much like Freddy Fazbear's pizza and this diner, but he didn't say anymore after that. but anyhow it was. something. there was even a smaller location called Junior's too. which turned out to be a big problem since it was smaller and was only starting out with the four main animatronics that we all come to know and love, eventually shipping them back to the pizzeria and closing down Junior's. at least from what he heard anyway.
But life carried on, until one eventful day around 1983, just 2 years after the deaths of two of henry's kids and two other kids, an awful event happened, apart from Fredbear being more chonky and losing that dapper outfit, it was one of the worst times in his life and just how cruel he saw that the world can be. it was a birthday for one of the creators's child, and it all went wrong, four kids whom he couldn't see their faces due to them being covered in masks of the four main characters, had brought Chris up to Fredbear, and they all laughed as he was crying and shaking and screaming, before when everything just. broke. the jaws clamping tightly onto Chris's head, the panic ensuing, William's emotions and reactions, he backed up, his eyes widening as he had looked onto Spring-Bonnie, who didn't seem to be that reactive at all to the whole thing unlike him, Liam and Puppet.
at first he thought that it would of been a error. but then he would realize much later on that this was the start of the diner's downfall.. or well. the end of it really. cause the bite alone finally closed down the business for good. transporting him, Puppet, Liam, Fredbear, and Spring-Bonnie to a different location where the work in progress animatronic suits were. 2 years later, Spring-Bonnie was gone, with no trace of him at all, Liam was also gone too, he doesn't remember where but he just knew that his friend was gone.
and then he saw Fredbear, who was just... oh god... damaged and broken beyond repair, with his jaws still stained of blood, and pried open, with wires hanging out of it, a missing eye, and axe marks to boost, before he too was taken from him to another place to where the toy animatronics were.
he himself had changed a bit since he was brought on up to be apart of the new crew, or so he thought anyway. his suit was remade into a newer model, mainly adjusting the shell as a whole, at this point in 1985, he was bigger now instead of being 7'3 feet he was now 8 feet, and around 15 feet long in total, his tail was longer, his neck wasn't as long, mainly to be more comfortable for the wearer, same goes for the head, his arms were more slimmed down, and his legs were slightly more better, and his eyes were an odd mix of Green, Brown, and Yellow. the claws and toenails were grey in color, and his spines were more arranged and shrunk down a tiny bit and had more to show.
he had a purplish underside, and a single row of blue dots running down his entire back and tail, he was used rarely in Suit mode due to how much bigger he was, despite that the suit was modeled to be more comfortable for the wearer, he was only ever used in Animatronic mode, mainly he looked more like the 80s design of the star character he was based upon, aka Godzilla. but just slightly different. and like the toys, he was given his own software like them, to better help in his patrols, and that is where he met the gray colored wolf, Melodia, with split colored like fur and a bowtie, but oddly enough possessing the same eyes as Liam did, only slightly darker in color. But that was besides the point.
he was still used to entertain the kids and what not. he was still in animatronic mode even during the nights, when he was patrolling the Pizzeria. and when he was being tweaked on a bit by henry, that was when Fredbear had come back, looking like a new model entirely slimmed down to look like the work in progress Freddy that Henry had called a 'Withered' Model of sorts. but he looked brand new.
oh how wrong he was. cause as if out of nowhere. during the last week of the month before closing for renovations, one last birthday party was hosted, and it was associated for the ones that had helped Michael Afton commited the deed of what happened with his little brother. and as if by magic. all five of them were killed off, he found blood on Fredbear's suit, and the wires and such were all messed up, and when Henry and him opened the suit, they were shocked to find the dead springlocked remains of a little girl that was with the missing, Cassidy.
but he too had his own accident, later on, another kid was found missing. Michael Brooks, and where was his last location? near him. he didn't even remember what happened, only that his chest had been torn into, almost like his software felt like something was shoved into him, and then was put back together and painted over. but, when he was awakened, he couldn't move his body, only his eyes, he felt two voices whimpering in him. he saw Henry pulling out a piece of clothing that had been stuck on him, and his software identified it as a part of Michael Brooks's Shirt. somehow. the boy was killed, and put inside him.
and now, he heard his voice, and someone else, someone his software knew as... Sammy? somehow unaware to no one but him, the souls of Sammy Emily, and Michael Brooks were now inside him. "oh Nautilus.... what happened...." he heard Henry's voice calling to him, he wanted to speak but he couldn't. not like he'd knew what to say anyways, he may be self-learning and sapient, but he was still an animatronic, an old one at that, he had errors, mistakes. and he knew that Henry would blame the old software.
and he was still aware of it all, even as he tried to jerk his head around, he couldn't. all he could do was move his eyes around, he kept hearing the two voices in his head, getting too much for him, too much! but it went quiet when he was shut down by Henry before he could see what he was doing next.
the pizzeria was closed, and the animatronics were left to gather dust as they were being prepared to be moved to the pizzeria with the toy animatronics to be used as spare parts, while he was left here with Fredbear. until when he awoken once more. but it was during something else. his memory gets fuzzy here. he doesn't recall most of it. but from what he could remember during his time at this other pizzeria, it was this.
he didn't feel like his body acted on it's own accord, all he remembered was that the year was 1987. he didn't know much, only that he had been around the gray wolf, Melodia a lot, other than that. not much else, minus seeing the guard a few times. but he didn't know why he was so curious about the wolf, why she was so familiar to him. but she seemly took pitied on him, and liked him enough, even calling him scales at times.
but still, the brief moments where he could move his body around, were when he was only with her, the rest? it felt like he was being puppeteered around, he thinks he saw Puppet a few times too, he doesn't remember, all he remembered was just, feeling a lot of anger, and fear, and confusion. it wall too much for him. and it got worst the more the nights progressed, until-

----
he was running. running running running all he did was run. to survive. it was all he knew how to do really. the only thing that saved him was his gut instinct and it was telling him to get the hell out of there. to hide until six AM.
last day of his week here in this damned place and for what? for suddenly the power to be cut short due to a fault in the leak? oh no he knew damn well what was going on and he was not having it. those damn animatronics. and that fucking goddamn golden bear. they were doing something. and he was not having it.
he already had to defend himself from the stupid pizza obsessed chicken, and just barely survived the highly aggressive purple bluish colored rabbit. now who would be next?
damn it, he should of listened to his brother, should of never taken this case in the first place.
He was a night guard. and apparently that role meant instant death for anyone who took the job and now he knew why. cause this place is a fucking graveyard. he was a private eye meant to investigate the many deaths and such of the fazbear history, something that the police were too thick headed to do. his name was Rocky, Rocky Smith, Brother to Fritz Smith, and he was the average human male in terms of body appearance but his height was something to behold, 6'5 it was. and it shows how tall and strong he was.
glaring at whatever came out at him through remarkable red glinted eyes showed through his messy black hair, he had a stubble growing too, holding an huge pipe as a weapon in one hand, while in the other he had a flashlight that was dripping with oil, he may had stabbed and broke the golden bear's eye and jaw when it had jumped at him but it was for survival intent, he wasn't letting those damn things touch him. not until he sees the person who did all of this be put behind bars, his purple jacket unbuttoned as his uniform was slightly damaged and torn thanks to those bots.
it all started out normally enough, just another day in the pizzeria doing the night shift since the animatronic with an actual proper night mode was deactivated for unknown reasons and tampered with highly alongside the rest of them. the dayshift guard, Scott told him that it was the work of an former CEO of the Fazbear company but it was all rumors. and he always believed them. he knew something was fishy the moment the many families gave him the case about fazbear's murders.
His Brother Fritz, who was also working on the day-shift there, told him that if the nights kept going on like this, then he should quit while he still can. he should of listened to him, but no. wanting to find the truth, he pressed onwards.
like the rest of the guards he defended himself against the animatronics, while also learning about the history as the weeks went on. and so on he saw that the robots got more and more aggressive. and then it all hit in the final night. it was all normal at first. but then out of nowhere. everything started going wrong in the final hour towards six AM, the bots got rowdy, and then the supposed ringmaster of them showed up, the most vengful spirit of them all, using the golden freddy suit. Fredbear was used and revamped once again to use as a template for the next freddy design, but oh god was it something else.
it's eyes were black and leaking oils, staining the dull golden like color, having torn fur and such, and a dirtied purple vest, a partly missing ear, and a red and blue dot for eyeballs, it attempts to lunge at him in a unknown fury but he whacked it so hard with the pipe that the springlocks on the jaw came loose, making it pried open as he saw that spare eyes of the suit were in the mouth, as the enraged golden bear roared and lunged at him, missing and slamming against the wall as he rushed on out, before he was grabbed as he was almost pulled into the golden bear's jaws before it shrieks as he slammed his flashlight right into it's eye.
The scream sounded like a child's scream, like two voices at once, before he kicks it away "i ain't dying here today damn it!" he shouted, rushing on out. and as luck would have it in their way. the damn chicken was on the move, he ducked as it attempts to grab him, and he whacks it's head as it staggers, having him run on off, before the highly aggressive rabbit came charging at him as he ducks, watching it crash into the tables as he runs again, before another new foe appeared for once. the fox.
it was already withered when it was brought here. and the company didn't have enough parts to repair it fully. having it be this odd mess. it swings at him with it's hook, severely gashing his face, before he slams the pipe into it's eye, kicking it away as he runs again, towards the exit. before someone new blocks the path.
The one and only Freddy fazbear himself.
the bear was creepy enough during the day. but during the night? he was like a horror villian, staring with black sockets that had piercing violent white pupils, like something was controlling it. it attempts to grab him but he blinds it with his flashlight, and runs on off, having nowhere else to go. he turns to the last room he wanted to be in. the parts and service room.
after getting in and slamming the door shut, he pants slightly, looking for a way to escape, maybe the basement? perhaps it has a secret entrance, that might explain why the killer can possibly enter without being a seen, an secret entrance to the pizzeria. But he was blocked out of his thoughts when he felt something ramming itself repeatedly against the door,
he was hearing two voices screaming out along with a metallic bear like roar, of course. the golden one and boy was it pissed, but he wasn't letting it get in that easy, using his foot to pull a chair towards him, he attempts to talk to the haunted spirit, like that would do any good "look! i know how angry you must be!" he said, trying to have the spirit listen, damn it! he knew he shouldn't have brought that ghost detector stuff with him and asked all those questions, but how was he supposed to know it would be this bad?! "just listen to me! im sorry for angering you! im just looking for answers, but-"

he nearly fell backwards from the loudness of the voice, like two spirits were controlling the suit against it's will and having all three sound out at once, but he growled, pissed off suddenly, trying to be brave "oh yeah? well you can't understand me either so we're even! i ain't dying tonight you rust bucket so FUCK OFF!" he said, kicking the door hard to get a reaction out of the golden bear as he placed the chair against the doorknob to act as a better barricade as he hears the golden bear go crazy as it rams itself repeatedly against the door. he didn't have much time so he turned to the only option up to him to make.
The suit.
Nautilus was leaned against the wall, deactivated, and slowly withered in appearance, but as long as it was able to be worn perhaps he could use it as a means to escape. he rushed to it, using the old handcrank to pull back the endoskeleton and put on the suit as quickly as he can as the golden bear kept ramming against the door. when he was finished putting the suit on, the door was broken open, and the dent and damaged golden bear made the mistake of charging in cause it almost fell, breaking the joints in it's leg and arm as it staggered, missing an ear as Rocky used the suit's flamer to knock back the other as it worked, parts of the suit being scorched as it was knocked back to the other four animatronics as they watched with a unease expression at the sight of seeing the suit move again.
"alright....! now that...! we uh... have a barrier!" he said through the suit, as it surprised the haunted bots, with the golden one glaring through it's damaged body "now i can speak!" he informed, as he could almost see the bots looking at one another with confusion, the golden bear was twitching, something was preventing it from mauling him right now, so he decides to say his piece before it was too late
"look! im sorry for angering you all! but i am not! your damn killer! im a private eye! i was sent here to figure out what happened!" there was no reaction, but it seemed the golden one stopped twitching "look if you all just tell me what happened to you i'll-" suddenly, he hears a faint drop of water hit the suit... oh right... the place was slowly under disrepair... oh no. the Golden bear suddenly went quiet at when the drop heard, along with the voice of the guard and the fact that he said he wasn't the killer. it caused the real eyes to be pulled back for just a split second as he saw the once bright blue eyes of the fredbear suit staring at him with a shocked expression, and only one wrong was said out of it.
"im sorry."
pain. vast amounts of pain erupted through his body as he screams out loudly, realizing fully well what had just happened.
The springlocks failed. the suit was killing him! "NO! NO! AC- HELP!" his ribs shattered, he couldn't breathe, screaming as it was mixed in with the suit's own metallic roars, the tendons and veins and muscles broke apart, fusing with the endo and the suit, he shrieked as he felt his back torn into, his shoulders dislocated, everything! everything was hurting him! his skull was cracking, his organs being pierced into, blood oozing out of him
the Nautilus suit going into it's usual mode as the springlocks failed, the animatronics watched with wide eyes as blood sprouted everywhere, bones crunching, skin breaking and connecting with the endo skeleton as the eyes of the Salvage suit were now the same color as the guard's eyes were, a red. he cries out in pain, screaming as he tries to get the suit off, pleading for help, as the bots all backed up, as the six AM bell rang, the bots all got back to normal save for the golden bear, and went back to their stages.
Rocky screamed out in pain, reaching out as the golden bear backed up, the eyes wide as a faint of red and another shade of blue was underneath the eyes, the night guard crying out in pain as his legs tore themselves up, he was slammed against the back as the flamer activated, scorching anything in sight as his mouth and face were melted into it, screaming and crying out as the flames caught onto the bear, burning up the vest as it screams, running off when the black sockets returned with the red and blue dots on it, he kept screaming and crying out for help but eventually, he froze.
his skull had been pierced into fully, and his eyes being replaced by the suit's eyes, a hint of blue and brown showed, before being blocked out by blinding red eyes by the blood running down him, he was twitching, slumping against the wall, an shelf falling down and then. he went completely motionless, falling down against the wall with a thud as a puddle of blood was forming of where he was, and stained against the suit.
Organs were failing, his body was in pain, fused and broken and pierced into the suit, the only thing still active was his brain but, due to how much pain he was in, how much agony he was feeling, that wouldn't be the case for long, he was twitching heavily, groaning out a few final words as he sees something watching him, an tall figure with a odd mask and a plastered smile, the eyes were green, and it looked almost like a puppet?
with his final strength, he tried reaching his hand out as blood spewed from him, he coughs weakly as the odd figure grasped it's hand on the door, and slowly began to close it, leaving him there as he struggled, before saying "p...p...please...it...can't.... end.... like...... this...... p....please......help... me.... i... want... to.... live....." and then, his arm slumped down, losing the strength to keep going, the pain being too much to bear.
as the last thing he remembered, before finally succumbing to his injuries, were two other voices in the suit, saying to him.
"so did we. but i was taken too soon. my own sister doesn't even know im here, we're alone. we are the same."
"i just wanted a balloon, and now i can't even leave. but now, we aren't alone in here anymore."

that was the last of the memories since management couldn't find anything else worthwhile since the suit was dead cold after that, only now being reused for Junior's Reopening. where we cut back to the current events, the current time.
there were other bots used in it's remake. an pirate Axolotl meant to replace foxy, but was very much shorter in height. an odd wolf like animatronic that was based off of old blueprints of an animatronic that william dubbed in the blue-prints, "Twisted Wolf" and then another animatronic was a Vixen in the shape of a wolf, who with almost realistic Red hair like circus baby and ballora having some form of 'hair'. the only animatronic that has a mind of it's own was the Salvage's suit and it kinda scared them.
but Nautilus himself, just like how he was Drawn to the gray wolf with the bowtie, was drawn to this other one that seemly looked familiar like Liam and Melodia, but different.
as for when he was being repaired, the software had recorded incidents of the workers complaining about something stuck in him, unaware that it was the corpse of Rocky.
since they had no way of getting rid of the corpse inside it, and also having no way to resetting the memories of the learning computer. he and the Vixen in the shape of a wolf almost were the only ones to be partly aware, and have new features build into them...... WHILE the other two and lesser bots were more normal and programmed to be entertainers, not having artificial intelligence or any haunted souls. while the other animatronic found in Juniors, nicknamed The Stitchwraith, was placed in parts and service.
not much was known about it. mainly that it was a failed attempt of making an animatronic on their first run of it by henry's part, saying that it almost attacked some workers, before being left to gather dust by william, strangely enough by the time Junior's was quickly shut down due to the missing incident with two boys, Jake and andrew, the Stitchwraith suit had vanished, eventually being found many years later with the makeshift parts and cloak and everything, now left in parts and service, most of them unsure of what to do about the odd animatronic endo.
apart from that there was just so much needed to do to revamp the place so they had the clever way of having the Salvage suit's night mode be upgraded a tad bit with the facial registering system in a small tweak and way to have it boost the progress of revamping the entire pizzeria as a whole.
their boss, Henry Emily approved of it and so the suit was altered yet again, attempting to close up most of the holes to have as little of flesh showing as they possibly can so that the state of the suit wouldn't scare off the kids. and boy did it work, they didn't bother to see the memories again to look for anything special, the first time was enough anyway. though Henry did seemly went through it to apparently find out something. after personally giving it a new coat of paint, the only thing they all couldn't remove were the red eyes, which had been fused into the suit's eyes.
it was a minor setback but as long as the robot did it's job then that was all the company really wanted.
during the final day before the reopening, the robots were finally put on up to entertain the others, while the Nautilus suit was altered slightly, having a more animatronic like style since the corpse stuck in it prevented other staff members to wear it. so yeah it was meant to be in the normal mode for now.
Nautilus was different now once again, due to the fact that the suit was made so many different parts to try to cover up the human corpse stuck inside it. and it was currently the biggest animatronic now, around 10 feet mind you so yeah it was pretty big, looking like the 90s design of Godzilla in a sense, but they couldn't get rid of his red eyes again, they did repaint over his rusted purple look with a brownish coloration, and tried to fix up the holes as best they could, painting the claws and toenails white, and re-adjusted the dorsal plates again, he was around 20ish feet long now, the flamer in him had been modified to hide the corpse in his mouth, as for why they didn't just take it out, oh right. because it was too glued into him by this point.
that or management got lazy, either way it wasn't good at all, that being now. he felt like there was more than two voices in him but, he could never tell what the third one was. that or, he didn't remember.
in order to not make the same mistake, the company instantly starting putting up help wanted signs to their address of Junior's to find a night-guard and they got quite an odd fellow that went by the name of supposedly jack kennedy, but during the conversation, Nautilus was aware while on stage, pretending to be on standby, he noticed that the appearance of the man was unlike anything he seen in humans before. and he should know, he has one stuck inside him.
The man wore a dark grey hoodie with stitches on it, an worn and stained purple shirt that was buttoned together with new buttons on it, like it was sewn on persay. having brown gloves on the hands, navy blue jeans, camo boots, an belt, a backpack, and most of the face was hidden by the hood of the hoodie and a hat, though the staff didn't seem that bothered by it. and so they let him through and that was when the other saw the eyes of the supposed man that called himself Jack Kennedy. they were black sockets, with piercing white eyes, but unlike the puppet's eyes.
this one had more detail to it. and the skin. he knew of this Jack Kennedy from conversations William was having with Henry about a supposed security guard for the diner, the man had orange clothing looking like a complete opposite of Henry's pink like clothing and William's purple like clothing. and the skin of this man that claimed to be jack, it had a hint of purple through the bandages and such that concealed the face, and yet. the employees couldn't even see it.
He couldn't blow his cover so he just watched the other be given a tour but he saw the man glance at him, and the two locked eyes, Nautilus couldn't help but feel uneasy at him. those eyes, all black. and white, but with more details to them then the puppet's eyes were, it scared him, those eyes... those angry. angry eyes.... they tell a story.....
When he was out of sight, Nautilus had to keep his composure, while also hissing as his red eyes flashed briefly, an odd blue and brown glow coming out of them, hissing a bit as he glanced on over to the parts and service room, and saw a hand opening it, and the brief glimpsed of the face of the Stitchwraith, before it snuck back into the darkness of the room as Nautilus backs up, proceeding to go back to being still, keeping calm. maybe... maybe things will be okay.. he's sure they will.... right?
long story short. it wasn't okay.
as soon as the night started. he felt very uneasy about the whole thing, he saw the camera watching his every move, wondering what's to come. before seeing the other two animatronics on stage with him begin to move, their eyes a familiar black and white as his red eyes widened, wait.... they weren't supposed to be haunted, right?
wrong. it turns out that there were three more undiscovered murders that were uncovered recently by Henry, William experimented with this so called life force called Remnant. they were two bodies of two boys discovered in William's basement by police storming the place to look for him, finding the odd lab that the man had build in order to experiment more with this supposed life force. one of the bodies discovered was revealed to be of a young boy called John, and another called Nazz, and the third being called Greg.
the souls of the three must of somehow found it's way back to Juniors, and had possessed the two new animatronics and laid dormant until the arrival of the new night guard. as for the third animatronic it has possessed the Guinea Pig animatronic that quickly made it's presence known by crawling out of the vents from an unknown part of the pizzeria, having the same black and white eyes as it stared at all of them, before turning around and lumbering off.
and now here they all were, along with that Stitchwraith, all wandering around, as he and the wolf with red hair were the only ones that weren't that effected by the older models's original programming due to the spirits, but his spirit on the other hand... it was affected. but Nautilus wasn't aware of it. very confusing i know but you see. he and the others were tampered with just like before with the other and older animatronics, put on the lowest to the highest level of Aggression, tampering to find and free the souls trapped within, and this time it was a bugger to deal with.
so much so that his spines started flashing as the nights progressed, a bunch of things happened, this supposed Night guard was luring the bots away from his office by various means of sounds, and tampered mode as Nautilus sensed the heating of the entire plaza going up, as on the final night, he had overheard something about as long as the generators kept going, then everything should be fine, and then suddenly. everything was blowing up, along with that, he suddenly started firing out his flamer mouth at anything that moved, all while the guard was the one that wasn't affected. it was then that he knew what was going on.
The Night Guard was here to destroy the place. just like the diner, pizzeria, and plaza, he has come to destroy his new home. but why?! WHY WAIT UNTIL NOW?!
but he couldn't register the shock, seeing a huge chunk of debris crushing the Guinea pig animatronic, having it's eyes popping out as it's jaws were forced opened by the impact, instantly going down. Nautilus and the human corpse inside of him with the two other voices urging him to go, he attempted to escape, to survive but the doors were locked tight, that was when the bots got more aggressive, including the Stitchwraith, before when it was nearing the final hour, the true danger that guard presented arose.
fire. fire everywhere as Nautilus could hear the robots screaming and roaring in pain as flames began to burn up at every point of the place, The poor wolf with red hair gets caught in the Debris, so too does the others, as for the Stitchwraith, it's fate was unknown but he did see it get knocked back when parts of the pizzeria fell onto it, damaging up it's makeshift body. as Nautilus tries to leave by ramming the door down, or attempting too anyway, an huge chunk of the ceiling falls onto him, trapping him as he attempted to crawl out, but he couldn't, violently twitching and hissing as he whined in pain, oil and blood leaking out of him.
The last thing he saw before his vision went black, was the man, calmly walking towards the entrance, taking one look back around as the rest of the bots one by one, fell down to their demises, and. while pulling out a pack of bubble-gum, and took it into his mouth as he chewed on it, grabbed his backpack, and unlocked the door, and walked on out.
Nautilus reached an hand out, hissing and coughing before his hand lowered itself, too damaged already before his eyes closed, his vision going down, entering Rest Mode as he and the others seemly perished in the fire that 'Jack Kennedy' caused..... hearing the man spoke for the first time.
"another location down for the count. no signs of father. but the spirits are set free. took the money that the company made and hid. should have enough to live off of for another 10 years or so. marking this one off the list... let's see where the next location is... im coming father. and when i do. your ass is grass."
what did... he mean by that....? why was his voice so... metallic... and tired....? and yet... so sad....?.. he couldn't..... understand...what was... ENTERING..... REST MODE....... SYSTEMS.... TOO... DAMAGED... TO.... STAY ACTIVE.... BATTERY POWER.... LOW..... SHUTTING DOWN.....
