Engineered Chaos

Summary:

Somehow, you’ve become one of the few employees at Freddy Fazbear’s Mega PizzaPlex, a mechanic. Now, you surely wouldn’t expect to be snuck up on by weird, tall animatronics that have just recently recovered from a dangerous glitch (which who knows if it’s actually gone) that’s made them kill before. Yet, as you begin your first few shifts, that’s exactly what happens.

They’re not too bad actually, even with some of their shenanigans, you’re friends even! Maybe you can help them too, if they’d let you more. As expected, (or maybe unexpected) there will be a few surprises to come along. Including, the possible return of some animatronics…

Chapter 1: First day and Almost Robbed

Chapter Text

Its your first day on the job at the Pizzaplex. After given a fazwatch, some security cards and other things, you entered the plex. Today you just needed to make some repairs to some of the equipment in the Theatre instead of doing any big repairs on any animatronics. Some of the speakers apparently weren’t working very well, some too quiet while others too loud, and there were some other things that also needed fixing. The theatre was closed off for the day so that you could repair those.

 

Grabbing your toolbox and some other items from the locker, you started heading over to the theatre. It was near the daycare and kids cove. The kids cove was being renovated or something and the theatre had been opened a week or two ago. The Daycare had closed for the night about half an hour ago, still around two hours from closing.

 

The things that needed fixing seemed pretty simple. Maybe you could get a snack, or maybe watch the glamrocks or something. After fixing or adjusting the rest of the things, all you had left was the speakers. You checked each speaker and got to work on the ones that needed fixing. You were finishing up on the last one when you thought you heard the sound of a wire or something nearby. You looked at the darkness around you but didn’t see anything. Huh…maybe you just imagined it? It was about 11:38 PM so maybe you being tired was just getting to you? Anyways it was too late to think of watching the Glamrock’s last show for the night. Maybe in your next shift if you had time.

 

You continued to fix the last broken speaker, you were almost done when you heard a low chuckle above you. You immediately looked up, trying to find what made the sound. It was too dark though, and you didn’t see anything. You considered using your flashlight for a moment- “Rulebreaker…..” A raspy voice hissed, “Out so late?”

 

You looked around wildly before spotting two glowing dots high above you. “H-hello?” You tried asking the darkness. You squinted at the two red lights, they seemed to be more like eyes with white pupils, staring down at you. What the hell is that?

 

The white pupils seemed to glance at your tool box, the speaker you were working on, and then back to you, dimming until you couldn’t see them anymore.

 

Whatever that thing in the darkness was, it didn’t say anything else. You were still uneasy, but the Pizzaplex was closing soon so you had to hurry. You picked up your flashlight and shined it closer to the speaker. You noticed what you needed to add before closing it up.

 

Just as you reached for your screwdriver, you noticed that it wasn’t there. Confused, you fumbled around before shining your flashlight at the spot it should’ve been. You were sure you had just left it there. Glancing while searching through your tool box at something glinting off of the little light that reached the seating area, it kind of looked like..wait…

Was that your screw driver?? You squinted at it more closely now, before realizing that there was something holding for it. “Looking for this?” The voice you’d heard before chuckled as it waved the screwdriver around. “Hey, give me that back!” Reaching for the screwdriver, it retreated further into the shadows.

 

“Hmmmm” The voice seemed to ponder for a bit. “Nah” whatever it was snickered as it carried the screwdriver away. “Oh no you don’t!” You said as you chased the thief. You had picked up your flashlight while running and found a moment where you were able to raise it up and shine it directly at the bandit.

 

“AUGHH-“ It snarled and hissed at the sudden light shining in its face, allowing for you to see a glimpse of what it was. It seemed to be some sort of large animatronic with dark blue, black, and white colors attached to a cable that appeared to be what lifted it. You could see something shine on its wrists and it was wearing a nightcap that had gold stars. It quickly rose up into the darkness and you could hear the sound of a wire swerving away from you, going towards the direction of some other place too quickly for you to follow. It also had dropped the screwdriver it stole from you.

 

What the fuck-

 

What the hell was that. You were still kind of startled and scared. That weird creepy robot was already gone though. Heading back, you finished fixing the last speaker. Well that took longer than you expected. Looking back at your Fazwatch, it was 11:42 PM, looks like you needed to hurry before the place closed for the night. You hurriedly packed up your tools and grabbed your flashlight, heading to the lockers to put them away. You made sure you had your keys and clocked out for the night. You didn’t see that animatronic again before you left.

 

—————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

 

The next day, Chica’s beak which had gotten loose, needed fixing. It probably wasn’t going to be too hard. You headed to get your toolbox and then head on over to parts and service. The place seemed covered in dust and gunk, overall a mess. Reaching an area with a weird cylinder thing, you could see Chica inside, who seemed powered off already. There was also a machine next to the cylinder, covered in rust.

 

You were surprised that no one had decided to keep this place clean compared to the rest of the pizzaplex, but it was probably just because this was used to fix the animatronics and no customers where supposed to see it anyways. Powering on the machine, it’s screen lit up. Pressing some buttons, an automated voice ushered you inside of the “protective cylinder” as its doors slid open.

 

You grabbed your tool box and stepped inside, a little bit worried of why a “protective” cylinder was needed. As the doors closed, you set your tools down and get to work, trying to see where to fix her beak. It seemed like one of the hinges had something stuck next to it. Trying to pull it out, it turns out to be some weird clumped up pieces of what seemed to be (and smelled like) garbage.

 

You were confused as to why that was in there but decided to ask Chica about it once she was back online. It could be something different maybe. Placing  it down, you get to fixing the hinge and making sure it wouldn’t be squeaky when she moved her beak before finishing.

 

Pressing some more buttons to finish, the machine opened the cylinder and let Chica power on. Her eyes brightened up as her body came back to life. You could hear some gears and possible fans inside of her whirr before becoming quieter as she sat up and rubbed her head.

 

She looked around and seemed to remember why she was there after seeing you holding your tool box. She opened and closed her jaw a few times successfully and smiled at you. “You must be the new employee, right? Thanks for fixing my beak! It was bothering me a bit but it moves perfectly now.” She gave you a thumbs up.

 

“Yeah, no problem” You replied, smiling back. “Oh!” You say, remember the question you had for her, “I found this wedged in your beak, it might’ve been part of the reason why it kept getting stuck. Do you…know what it is?” You asked her, pulling out the small clumped together pieces of unknown materials. She took one look at it, seemed to sniff it, and then with a “SQUAWK!” she quickly snatched it from your hands and hid it behind her back.

 

“O-oh that?” She stuttered as she shuffled over out of the cylinder and closer to the exit. “I have no idea what i-it is. But don’t you worry sweetie, I’ll uhm, I’ll ask someone if they know! OK BYE!” Chica then quickly bolted up and out of Parts and Service. Well, that was weird. You wondered if that weird thing you found in her beak had anything to do with the spilled over trash cans you saw on your way out of the Plex last night.

 

You shrugged it off for now and grabbed your toolbox, heading up out of Parts and Service. There was still had some time before your shift ended so maybe you could explore the Pizzaplex a little bit more, maybe even get to see the glam rocks preform. Even if you did just see Chica who seemed like she might’ve been hiding something.

 

As soon as you went out, you bumped into something hard. You stepped back to see what it was, finding that it was Freddy himself. “Oh hello there! I’m sorry for being in your way.” He said, smiling kindly and moving back a bit. Freddy Fazbear, one of the glamrocks from the band, was speaking to you. I mean, you had just seen Chica earlier so it wasn’t your first interaction with a glamrock, but you barely got to talk to her.

 

“Er,” He said, interrupting your thoughts. “You’re the new employee right?”

 

“Huh? O-Oh yeah, I a-am!” You stammered. “Well-“ He started to say something but was cut off by the sound of children yelling his name and running over to him to ask for a picture with them. “Oh sorry, I have to go. But I heard you fixed things in the Theatre. So keep up the good work, superstar!” He gave you a thumbs up before walking over to the rowdy excited kids.

 

Welp, that interaction was still short. Maybe you should ask him about the thing that was stuck in Chica’s beak, but probably the next time you see him. You decided to maybe grab a sandwich or something for lunch.

 

You passed by the Daycare which seemed to be full of parents dropping off or picking up their kids. You could see a large animatronic inside which looked to be themed after the sun and maybe a jester too. The kids seemed to love it, one was even trying to climb on it, but it was able to easily pull them off and put them back down. He glanced over to you and then back to the kids who kept grabbing his attention.

 

Just as you were about to leave, it glanced back at you, it’s smile seemed to widen slightly as he waved excitedly at you. Slightly startled, you waved back at him, smiling a bit too. It wasn’t long before his attention was dragged back towards one of the kids who was chewing on his ribbons, which he quickly stopped them and seemed to scold them, his finger moving in a “no” gesture. As you left, you remembered that animatronic from last night. They kind of looked similar, but couldn’t be the same animatronic since they had different colors and this sun themed one seemed way friendlier.

 

After eating some lunch and grabbing a Fizzy Faz from a nearby vending machine, you looked at what other tasks you had today. Most were simple, one of them seemed to be repairing one of the large alligator heads in the golf area, which had broken down.

 

You began working on your tasks for the day, adjusting some things on a few staff bots here, fixing a gate that had been busted through, but you didn’t question what did it (or more like you didn’t want to). Repairing some faz blasters, etc. You left the Monty’s Golf task for last, and while heading over there, you decided to pass by the daycare again.

 

Looking into the daycare again, the animatronic caretaker seems to be praising a little girl for her drawings. It doesn’t notice you this time, although you do stop to look at it closely, comparing it to the other animatronic you had seen last night. They did bare a bit of a resemblance, both looked like jesters with bells and ribbons on their wrists. Both seemed to have a smile that never disappeared (or maybe it could, you hadn’t observed the both of them for very long).

 

The only two differences were that the one that stole your screwdriver had a nightcap with stars on it and colder colors, while the daycare animatronic had sun rays popping out of it’s head with a warmer color scheme.  Also the sun one didn’t seem like a jerk.

 

You look at your fazwatch again, 1:15 PM, maybe you could ask the sun animatronic later when the daycare was emptier. You started heading over to the Monty Golf area.

 

You began fixing the giant alligator head robot that was supposed to pop in and out of the water in the golf area. You didn’t see Monty anywhere while you were there. There was also some gum that seemed to be freshly stuck on by some troublemaking kids that Monty was popular with, how did they even get it there?? You also could’ve sworn that some passed by snickering at you and then tried to shoot you with little paper bullets using a straw until you turned around and saw them run away quickly.

 

You quickly started disliking this area, most of the kids pointed and laughed as they saw you, struggling to fix this thing while accidentally hitting some circuit, causing it to pop up and down too quick and absolutely drench you. By the time you finished wrestling with this thing and finally getting it to work properly, it was already 3:20 pm, one of the Glamrock’s shows was going to start at 4:30 pm, maybe you could get there in time.

 

Still drenched, you did want to try and get to the employee shower area and see if you could grab a towel and some spare clothes before heading to the show.

 

You still needed to find the employee showers, but got distracted. Passing by the daycare again, something seemed different. The lights were off this time, but you were sure the daycare closed around 10 or 11 pm. Going closer to the glass, squinting your eyes, you looked into the darkness. It wasn’t entirely dark, there was some very dim lighting inside and you thought you could see the shape of sleeping children in a corner filled with pillows and a few plushies.

 

Ohhhh

The daycare must have a nap-time schedule, how did you not think of that before. Just as you made your realization however, something seemed to float down, it’s red glowing eyes staring at you.

 

….wait

 

Was that-

 

Your eyes started adjusting better to the dimmer light, allowing to see what just popped up in front of you. A large animatronic with red glowing eyes, a nightcap with stars on it, moon and jester themed stared back at you, squinting it’s eyes too.

 

“You….” You glared at it. It seemed like it was chuckling a bit, you couldn’t hear it though since the glass was probably sound proof. It also glared back, mimicking you. “Hey-“ You said annoyed as you moved your hand and the animatronic kept mimicking you.

 

Making sure that the children were all asleep and none were looking at the two of you, you flipped him off, “Asshole.” It’s smile widened, loooking angry, making you feel slightly uneasy even with it being behind the glass. It did the same “no” gesture with its fingers as the sun animatronic. “That’s just what you get for being a jerk and trying to steal my screwdriver.” You said back to it.

 

A beep came from your fazwatch.

 

You had set up a little alarm to remind you about…..

 

The Glamrock’s show….

 

It was 4:20 PM.

“Shit-“ You bolted out of the daycare, the irate animatronic behind you now confused as you left.

 

Somehow you had forgotten the time, but didn’t want to miss the show and have to wait for your next shift, so you’d just have to go with drenched clothes. It was starting to dry up, although you were still a bit cold.

 

You almost were at the place where the show would be as you kept running.

4:27 Pm, your watch showed, as you just made it in time. Maybe once the show was over, you’d go back to the daycare to speak to that animatronic yet. It looked like it worked with the other sun animatronic, since they were both sun and moon themed after all, so it made sense. You were excited about seeing the Glamrocks perform though.

 

Music started playing, and the lights dimmed, spotlights shining onto the stage.

 

The show began.
