Chapter Text
Freddy woke with a jolt.
The sound of a door slamming open roused him. Groaning as his old joints have definitely locked up from lack of use. How long were they down here? With minimal mobility in his eyes, Freddy gazed around the back room behind their stage called Parts and Services to see his dear friends laying in varied positions around the room next to the empty suit.
The one where they put all night guards in that dared to enter their diner. Through the hole in the wall, sees the very familiar silhouette of a Night guard with a flashlight. A woman this time. She hasn’t noticed them yet. But he could hear her walking around.
His eyes turned red.

If there was one thing the entity known as Vanny would regret ever doing? It was fixing up the original animatronics she found behind the stage. Freddy, Bonnie, Chica and Foxy. She even found a very worn down Golden Freddy suit. Score! And a weird child looking thing. Balloon Boy? They looked tough and have proven to do well in heavy lifting. Great for setting up shop to repair William.
But, oh… her regret.
Vanny noticed Freddy’s calculating gaze as she repaired them. He gave her leader vibes. The others followed his lead. They’re waiting for something.
But what? Freddy passed her the tools needed as she repaired them. Apparently she surprised him when she continued on to Golden Freddy. Was he expecting the other bear to be forgotten? But he’s a classic! The ORIGINAL original Freddy! The one Henry himself wore in the beginning! She shrugged.
She then brought them to William. Their eyes glowed red. She didn't know they could do that! What else can they-
Something bit her leg and she went down with a scream.
A cupcake?! Chica stomped over and punched her enough to knock her out. Before she did, she groggily noticed the other three attacking William into pieces! No!
Darkness claimed her.

Vanny’s regret.
All that culminated to her waking up in a chair.
In the Security office she just set up the day before.
Balloon Boy on the desk.
Freddy, Bonnie, and Chica were frozen in place in front of the ruins of the stage (Freddy was sad when he learned of its state over the years they were in sleep mode). Foxy was standing in front of his own stage of the once Pirate’s Cove. Other monitors were on, one or two were off.
Generator power at 80%.
The clock read 11:58pm.
11:58pm.
Wait.
Vanny looked down to see she’s not wearing her costume anymore! Her mask was still on, but she’s in her guard uniform!
Panic sunk in.
11:59pm.
Vanny struggled against the binds.
12:00. The hourly alarm went off. Vanny frantically scrambled to the monitors.
Bonnie was gone from the stage.

"Hello." BB's giggle made her want to punt the thing across the room!
She didn’t even make it to 4am.
She never knew to keep the camera on Foxy.
It was kinda hard to focus on anything but the drain with Bonnie camping right outside the door forcing the power drain the longer she kept it shut, then there’s Chica giving her another heart attack from the window on the other side.
Bonnie left, but Freddy was on the move.
Focusing on one side, she missed Foxy running down the hall until he tackled her and knocked her out again.

She woke up a second time strapped to something as a menacing whirring sound started above her. Vanny screamed.

Freddy (partly-carrying Golden Freddy as he tried to relearn how to walk on its own since the dreaded Bite of ‘87 ), Bonnie, Chica and Foxy stepped out of the Pizza Place for the last time. They followed the path of generators and found Ennard (in blob form). Poor guy was low on power and was dragging itself to the big Generator up ahead.
They looked at each other before going to the blob.
And tore it apart while it was still weak.
Stepping on Toy Freddy’s mask, Freddy gave a deep laugh. He hated the toys. Like looking at a funhouse mirror in all the wrong ways. They even creeped out the kids and that was a big no-no for them. Mangle was ok, after being torn apart so many times, she became so shy.
Bonnie waved him over and pointed to another head. Mangle!
The quartet climbed in and dug her out. Foxy volunteered to carry her after he found an empty box.
Satisfied, they made their way to the elevator.
"Hello." BB giggled from inside the elevator. How..? They glared at him before joining BB inside.
Stepping off at the top, they were startled as the elevator groaned before falling to the depths below. Guess they were too heavy?
Shrugging, they continued on.
