Chapter Text
One year after the events of William Afton down in the depths, another good morning had rose upon the Mega PizzaPlex, the sun's dawning golden rays spilling out upon the mall, to signal in the next day. And inside the Mega PizzaPlex, nine animatronics, seven other animatronics and one human kid woke up to the morning light.
One certain animatronic woke up in his green room from his charging station. An alarm inside of him beeped, and he awoke from his Rest Mode to his Awake Mode. He checked the time. 4:45 am. Better get preparing. The charging station door opened up, and a reddish-brown six-foot-five tall fox with orange leg warmers with black on the sides and bottom, black and yellow shoulder pads, a short orange vest with black strips on the sides, black pants with yellow stars, black bandana with two golden stripes and the Red Foxes symbol on the center, a black glove on his left hand, long hair and tail, a yellow eye, two golden lightning bolts on his face, a golden hook on his right hand and a golden star-shaped eyepatch on his right eye stepped out of it. Glamrock Foxy stretched his arms and legs, flicked his tail, smoothed his hair and gave out a yawn. He walked over to the mirror, checking himself a few times.
"Ready to start the morning as usual aren't ye?", he talked to himself. "Yeah ye are."
He did a few poses, saying "Yargh!" a few of times, but when he turned himself around, he saw that some of his hair was still a little ruffled, so he smoothed it even more. However, that didn't really do much of it. He was practicing harder than usual yesterday so there's that.
"I knew this would happen", he sighed to himself in a frustrated tone. He grabbed a conditioner extract bottle that says containing coconut and reserved for only the animatronics from the top of his desk mirror and applied it onto many parts of his hair. He smoothed it out a few more times before he then checked himself in the mirror again. He flipped his long luscious locks. It flowed like there was wind inside his room. Finally, his hair was as smooth as silk, just the way he likes it.
"Much better", he talked to himself again as a satisfied smile creeped across his long snout.
He flashed his teeth a couple of times, then he brandished his sharp golden claws. His smile got even wider. He brought out his large golden hook and did a few more poses with it. His smile was at his widest. But then he came upon to his eye. He flipped up his golden star eyepatch, to find nothing but a small black hole, revealing the endoskeleton skull underneath.
When he did, the wide smile on his face faded. His memories then flashed back to when he was controlled by the monstrous serial killer, William Afton just the year before. Forced to do nothing but watch whatever bad stuff he did, and even nearly kill his best friend, Petey Parrot, he'd forgotten what it was like to live like this again for a long time. Even though the bright side about those memories is that Gregory managed to save them all and kill William Afton with the help of Freddy, Callista, Vanessa and even Petey himself, still.
As for how he lost his eye, he can still remember those painful memories of getting whacked in the face out of self-defense, all of them right where his right eye, the one underneath his eyepatch, was. It was so badly damaged from the multiple times he was hit in the face before that in Parts & Service, the eye had to be removed, and unfortunately, a new one can't be made because the items that make up the animatronics' eyes are very expensive due to the Glamrocks being the most advanced and the mechanics for the eyes are very difficult to work out. And Foxy isn't one for patience. So now, he has to live the rest of his life with only one eye and now much of his vision is nothing but a black void.
Flipping the golden eyepatch back down over his eye, he then tried to think of good memories. For example, the part where after Glamrock Foxy was taken out of Parts & Service, Callista wasted no time in apologizing to him about kicking him in the face before. Foxy had forgave her and assured the griffin that she only did it out of defense of Gregory, and she did what she had to do.
But now's not the time. Literally, for when Foxy checked the time, it read 4:55 am. Crap, he thought. He better get moving fast. Luckily, fast is what I'm known for in this 'ere PizzaPlex. As the fastest animatronic with feet that give him super speed, Foxy can make everything around him slow down while he moves at speeds greater than everyone else's.
Opening up his green room door, he smoothed his hair a couple more times before instantly rushing towards the Atrium, leaving a reddish-brown blur as he went. He zoomed past security bots, all of which hilariously spun in place when he went right by them. He reached the elevator and he immediately pressed the button to up, waiting for a few minutes while listening to his and his friends' amazing glam rock music elevator music style, silently jamming along to the tune.
At last, the elevator dinged open, and he immediately sped out, nearly dismantling a map bot along the way while heading towards his attraction Treasure Trove, where his loyal and faithful pirate crew, the Red Foxes, are waiting on their ship, the Kitsune, an auburn red-colored ship with golden details and a fox statue underneath the bowsprit. He burst through the door, almost destroying it off its hinges and landed right on the main deck of the pirate ship, scaring off a few of those annoying robotic seagulls when he did.
As soon as he landed on the main deck, he relaxed and leaned on the railing and inhaled the fake yet sweet aroma of the ocean breeze. Treasure Trove is the largest out of all the attractions, due to its massive faux ocean in order to successfully simulate the feeling of sailing on the ocean for the kids. In Treasure Trove, the children dress up as pirates like the Red Foxes and join them as they fight against sea monsters and even ghost pirates lurking beneath the surface of the sea. Every 12 pm in the afternoon though, that's when Foxy presses a button that summons a blustering storm, simulating where it literally thunders down upon the Red Foxes and the kids. Of course, all of the new and improved animatronics of the PizzaPlex are designed to withstand even a heavy rainfall, so long as they don't fall in and get submerged into real water of course.
While he stared at the vast faux ocean before him, Foxy's ears then picked up a sound coming from below. He knew at that point that his crewmates were there, waiting for him to start their morning routine.
Foxy instantly gave them a surprise by leaping up into the air and landing right in front of them, something that didn't startle them for he has done the same thing just a few times before, much to his slight dismay.
Turning around towards his pirate crew, he looked at everyone, his closest friends apart from the Glamrock Band. All identifiable by their appearances, personalities and roles.
First, Reedy Tweed, the violinist and music composer of the crew, the surgeon, the only male who is mainly a bright pink color, the most intelligent and also the one who doesn't have sense of smell due to a malfunction in his system that was never fixed.
Jeeper Creeper, the accordion player, the chef, the boatswain, the quietest pirate, the only one with Asian pirate clothes and the one who has a bandage over his left eye similar to Foxy.
Dudley Dog, the blacksmith and strongest of the crew, the loudest, the only one with African pirate clothes and he's the only one who is a bright orange color.
Crimson Canine, the lookout, known by his golden telescope and sharpest teeth of them all.
Scarlet Scythe, the weapons master, identifiable by her bright red and reddish-orange shade and the longest scimitar of the crew, even longer than Foxy's current one.
Mangle Angel, the beauty and charmer of the crew, the most feminine of the female pirates, recognizable by her white and pink fur and also her revealing leotard.
Black Jack, Foxy's first mate, the usual helmsman, (or rather, helms-fox) though sometimes it's Foxy who steers, the only one of the crew who has the most pirate-like clothing and distinguishable by his shade of maroon so dark he's almost black, hence his name.
Petey Parrot, Foxy's best friend and the team pet of the group, while he's also being the most skilled when it comes to computers, and last but not least. . . her.
Foxy paused for a second when his eyes landed on Vixen Vox, in his eyes, the most beautiful of the female fox pirates, and the knives handler of the crew, especially with her main weapon, a sharp silver dagger. She's mostly identified by her traditional female pirate clothing, with a black and white vest, long white baggy sleeves and white skirt with a yellow swirling pattern, blue bandana, long brown dreadlocks hair, dark red and dark pink fur, one eye colored red with the other orange, her lovely Spanish accent and words and most identifiable, her wooden prosthetic leg with red swirling details.
He hates to admit it, but for the longest time, even before the animatronics' corruption, a odd feeling inside of him is stirring, causing his heart to beat rapidly, a funny movement where his stomach should be and strangest of all, a desire to be beside her, in the same matter with Freddy and Callista. And he knows the reasons why.
Those reasons why? Not only is she the most skilled and fastest fighter of the pirate crew, almost to the extent of Foxy, but she's also beautiful, (maybe not to Mangle's limits, but still beautiful) intelligent, friendly and quick-witted. But the biggest reason of all has to be her great honesty when it comes to having a conversation with others. She never keeps in the dark about anything and immediately tells everyone around her what's wrong. That's who she is. . . and that's what Foxy loves about her.
However, also for the longest time, even though it's true that the two truly care for each other, they've been arguing for as long as anyone could remember. For Foxy, he's only doing it because well. . . he's too afraid to ever find out whether or not Vixen shares his feelings. Sometimes, he wishes that he has the Storyteller's mind reading abilities, but he wouldn't even take a dare to invade Vixen's privacy.
For Vixen however, he isn't really sure why she argues with him as well. All he knows that it's personal enough for her to do the same to him. Foxy sighed in his mind before he then decides to leave it at that right now because they have kids coming in soon. Now literally isn't the time to talk about personal feelings.
Of course, he doesn't keep his gaze on her for too long, and quickly cleared his throat while telling his crew like the good captain he is, "Let's get things started." The minute he said those words, Petey flew up on his spot on Foxy's right shoulder/shoulder pad, and everyone let out a proud, "Arrgh!" and they leaped up and around the ship to get themselves prepared for 6 am, when the first children will come flooding in to start the day. There's also the fact that everyone's being hyped and stoked about their big performance, starting in eight days. Foxy himself is especially excited for it, and he just can't wait for the day it comes, all the while he's fixing up the Kitsune using his super speed ability, with Petey helping him when the little green parrot can.
The time was 6:12 am, the Mega PizzaPlex had just opened about ten minutes ago. Soon, a small group of five kids came over, all around ages seven to nine, and all looking absolutely adorable in their pirate costumes. It's go time.
When the kids first stepped out onto boardwalks, Glamrock Foxy took his cue and ran over to them, but not too fast as to not accidentally scare them. He immediately introduced himself to them as they watched in enthusiasm and awe of him.
One of the kids however, a young boy to be exact, seemed to be the most happy to see him. Foxy's seen this young boy before and identified him as little Daniel, one of his biggest fans. This isn't the first time he's encountered a kid who's a big fan of him before actually. Ever since he and his friends were first created, many of the visiting children of the PizzaPlex loved Foxy as their top most favorite, even more so than that of either Freddy or Callista. He doesn't really know why, but he guessed that it's because of him being the most unique of the Glamrock Band.
After introducing himself, Foxy then signaled his pirate crew to come on out of their hiding spots now, as they usually do whenever any kids come over, starting with Petey Parrot, who instantly flew over from the railing of the Kitsune and landed on his spot on Foxy's shoulder with a squawk.
Soon after Petey, the other pirates came out of hiding at the ship and revealed themselves from where they hid, some of them in the most hilarious of spots that made the kids giggle. Everyone waved to them and Foxy gestured to the children to get on the ship, just as Dudley Dog brought down the gangway for them to get onto the ship.
As soon as the young children boarded on, Foxy then signaled to Petey to untie the rope keeping the ship to the docks. As soon as he untied it, Foxy told the kids to wait for the ship to move, while Scarlet Scythe then went and released the sails. The dark orange sails unraveled and revealed the Red Foxes symbol, a bright red fox head with two black swords crossed below it.
The moment she let down the sails, a strong gust of wind blew and the ship moved forward. Black Jack helmed the steering wheel and steered the entire ship to the left and onward to the faux open ocean. Instantly, the children got excited and they all went out on the railing to watch as the Kitsune started its journey forward.
For some time, the Kitsune went with smooth sailing, a holographic image befalling behind the ship to really simulate that they're going far away from the shore. Along the ride, the young kids are adorably getting excited whenever any dolphins swim by or when any of the pirates spot a whale and yell out, "Thar she blows!", resulting in the kids immediately running towards the side of the ship where the whale can be seen. Foxy smiled and chuckled whenever this happens.
However, about ten minutes into the ride, that's when Vixen alerted everyone with a "Sea monsters up ahead!" The minute she said these words, Jack leaped from the main deck and unsheathed his scimitar, with everyone else doing the same, including the kids, while Vixen is the only one who has daggers and knives instead. Foxy had just brought out the scimitar that he was given for now. His real sword, the Zorro Scimitar, is being displayed over the fireplace at the Vulpes Tavern, because it's considered too special to be actually used.
Pfft. Too special. The only thing that be too special at this ship is Vix-, he stopped himself before he said her name in his mind. He shook his head and got ready for the battle against the piranha-like sea monsters stirring below, their long and razor-sharp teeth covered in seaweed, algae and barnacles and their piercing red eyes glaring right at the kids and crew.
Of course, the kids were more excited than scared, because that's the point of the attraction. Children go on pirate adventures with the Red Foxes and battle with them against vicious sea monsters lurking in the deep, even more so when it's 12 pm, where a storm will be summoned and will keep on going until the monsters have been defeated, while also looking for lost islands that either hold valuable treasure and are guarded by ghost pirates, or lost sailors that have been missing for days, weeks, months or even years. The islands that hold either are incredibly diverse, with about fifty different types of islands, all randomly generated, with the same thing happening with sea monsters.
Right now, these piranha monsters, known as fang-gnashers, are ready to attack the ship at any moment, and even though Foxy and his pirate crew know they're just part of the attraction, they still expertly kept up the act on making it seem like the real thing, especially with the kids being so excited for this. Foxy brandished out the scimitar he's given, not as good as the long black one he truly owns, but still just as effective against a fight, and braced himself as the first fang-gnasher jumped onto the ship.
