rise of the dead

Chapter 2

rise of the dead

that night in the new pizzeria two robots were born they were ghosts the ghosts of Michael and Sammy and together they found the robots with the children inside Michael didn’t know what to do how to save them the only ones who knew how was Charlie but after Michael died in the hospital she and her sisters moved out of Utah to live with their aunt and over time Charlie forgot about what happened about her brother about how to bring them back but Sam knew another way he brought them gifts the gift of life and the children came back as the robots themselves and soon they were the performers at the new Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza after Henry died William gave the company to an unknown person who decided to use the robots for spare parts they made a newer version of each robot and an extra as Michael was making plans based off the things he saw in real life and especially in his dreams he taught Chika how to make tiny robot cupcakes that let her see everything inside the pizzeria like cameras when the place was fully open and the robots were ready to perform the new owner noticed something strange about them he was worried they might try to hurt someone if there not watched over he soon hired a man named Jeremy Fitzgerald to be the night guard he came in the first day thinking it would be a normal simple job unaware of what was inside the robots but he would soon find out that night at midnight he came to work he just sat around thinking he didn’t have to do much until he got a phone call “Uh, hello? Hello, hello? Uh, hello and welcome to your new summer job at the new and improved Freddy Fazbear's Pizza. Uh, I'm here to talk you through some of the things you can expect to see during your first week here and to help you get started down this new and exciting career path.  Uh, now, I want you to forget anything you may have heard about the old location, you know. Uh, some people still have a somewhat negative impression of the company. Uh... that old restaurant was kind of left to rot for quite a while, but I want to reassure you, Fazbear Entertainment is committed to family fun and above all, safety. They've spent a small fortune on these new animatronics, uh, facial recognition, advanced mobility, they even let them walk around during the day. Isn't that neat? ut most importantly, they're all tied into some kind of criminal database, so they can detect a predator a mile away. Heck, we should be paying them to guard you. Uh, now that being said, no new system's without its... kinks. Uh... you're only the second guard to work at that location. Uh, the first guy finished his week, but complained about... conditions. Uh, we switched him over to the day shift, so hey, lucky you, right? Uh mainly he expressed concern that certain characters seemed to move around at night, and even attempted to get into his office. Now, from what we know, that should be impossible. Uh, that restaurant should be the safest place on earth. So while our engineers don't really have an explanation for this, the working theory is that... the robots were never given a proper "night mode". So when it gets quiet, they think they're in the wrong room, so then they go try to find where the people are, and in this case, that's your office.” Jeremy began to worry about the robots and what they might do if they catch him “So our temporary solution is this: there's a music box over by the Prize Counter, and it's rigged to be wound up remotely. So just, every once in a while, switch over to the Prize Counter video feed and wind it up for a few seconds. It doesn't seem to affect all of the animatronics, but it does affect... one of them.” Jeremy instantly got out his camera panel and wound the box and listened to what else to do “Uh, and as for the rest of them, we have an even easier solution. You see, there may be a minor glitch in the system, something about robots seeing you as an endoskeleton without his costume on, and wanting to stuff you in a suit, so hey, we've given you an empty Freddy Fazbear head, problem solved! You can put it on anytime, and leave it on for as long as you want. Eventually anything that wandered in, will wander back out.” Jeremy practiced using this new equipment and when he got the hang of it he went back to the guy on the phone “Uh, something else worth mentioning is kind of the modern design of the building. You may have noticed there are no doors for you to close, heh. But hey, you have a light! And even though your flashlight can run out of power, the building cannot. So, don't worry about the place going dark. Well, I think that's it. Uh, you should be golden. Uh, check the lights, put on the Freddy head if you need to, uh, keep the music box wound up, piece of cake. Have a good night, and I'll talk to you tomorrow.” Jeremy went through all the cameras but mostly the prize counter until eventually he saw on the stage the new version of bonnie the bunny animatronic was gone he searched around and soon saw in a party room bonnie was standing right in front of the camera staring at him as if it could actually see him and over time a few more came out and stalked him there weren’t many as the children had to control multiple at a time and still needed practice doing it but a strange thing he noticed was as Chika got off the stage her beak vanished and behind it were small sharp teeth after six hours he heard a clock chime and children cheering he didn’t know why but he was more focused on quitting his new job than figuring it out but over time he started to piece together the story and decided to keep is job at least until he could save the children the next day when he came back he got another phone call and the man told him “Ah...hello, hello! Uh, see, I told you your first night wouldn't be a problem. You're a natural! Uh, by now I'm sure you've noticed the older models sitting in the back room. Uh, those are from the previous location. We just use them for parts now. The idea at first was to repair them...uh, they even started retrofitting them with some of the newer technology, but they were just so ugly, you know? The smell...uh, so the company decided to go in a whole new direction and make them super kid-friendly. Uh, those older ones shouldn't be able to walk around, but if they do, the whole Freddy head trick should work on them too, so, whatever.” Jeremy looked out for the old ones while he listened “Uh...heh...I love those old characters. Did you ever see Foxy the pirate? Oh wait, hold on...oh yeah, Foxy. Uh, hey listen, that one was always a bit twitchy, uh...I'm not sure the Freddy head trick will work on Foxy, uh. If for some reason he activates during the night and you see him standing at the far end of the hall, just flash your light at him from time to time. Those older models would always get disoriented with bright lights. It would cause a system restart, or something. Uh, come to think of it, you might want to try that on any room where something undesirable might be. It might hold them in place for a few seconds. That glitch might be in some of the newer models too.” Jeremy looked down the hall and didn’t see much but it looked like there were two faintly glowing eyes in the back and he could barely see the outline of an oddly shaped person “One more thing - don't forget the music box. I'll be honest; I never liked that puppet thing. It was always...thinking, and it can go anywhere...I don't think a Freddy mask will fool it, so just don't forget the music box. Anyway, I'm sure it won't be a problem. Uh, have a good night, and talk to you tomorrow.” Jeremy started getting confused “puppet?” he thought to himself “this place is for robots what would a puppet be doing here?” he looked back at the prize counter and looked closely inside the box he saw in the back and inside he saw a creature inside it was tall and thin hanging by the celling by strings it was black and white with red cheeks and a mask representing purple tears pouring from its eyes as he looked closer he saw it was slightly transparent after a bit he heard a noise like a child laughing he looked in the vents and saw a kid with rubber skin holding a balloon and a sign he started to panic “hi” said the kid and Jeremy ran back to the mask and put it on the kid walked in and looked around “hello?” said the kid it turned to look at him and walked away Jeremy took off the mask and turned on his flashlight but it didn’t work he looked inside and saw something took out the batteries he looked up and saw the kid was still there in the room it stared at him as it smiled it started laughing practically screaming it was hard to hear but Jeremy faintly heard the sounds of metal feet sprinting toward him but just before they got him six am hit and the robots shut down he went home got some new batteries and waited tell night to go back to work when he got back he waited for another phone call and soon it came “Hello hello! See? I told you, you wouldn't have any problems! Did...uh... Did Foxy ever appear in the hallway? Probably not I was just curious. Like I said, he was always my favorite. They tried to remake Foxy, you know? Uh, they thought the first one was too scary, so they redesigned him to be more kid-friendly and put him in Kid's Cove. To keep the toddlers entertained, you know... But kids these days just can't keep their hands to themselves. The staff literally has to put Foxy back together after every shift. So eventually they stopped trying and left him as some 'take apart and put back together' attraction. Now he's just a mess of parts. I think the employees refer to him as just "The Mangle." Uh...Oh, hey, before I go, uh, I wanted to ease your mind about any rumors you might have heard lately. You know how these local stories come and go and seldom mean anything. I can personally assure you that, whatever is going on out there, and however tragic it may be, has nothing to do with our establishment. It's just all rumor and speculation... People trying to make a buck you know... Uh, our guard during the day has reported nothing unusual. And he's on watch from opening till close.  Okay, well anyway, hang in there and I'll talk to you tomorrow.” Jeremy looked for the mangle and saw it was a naked endoskeleton with a white and pink fox mask as it started to get up he noticed it made loud static noises it was the strangest of all he tried to shine a light at it but it jumped on the walls and climbed across like a spider the new mangled robot came after him from all sides and eventually it got in his office it stayed on the celling waiting until finally he was saved by the clock chime and all the robots shut down so he want home got some new batteries and waited for the next night to come and again he went to work and got a phone call he answered and the man told him “Hello, hello? Hey, good job, night 5! Um, hey, um, keep a close eye on things tonight, ok? Um, from what I understand, the building is on lockdown, uh, no one is allowed in or out, you know, especially concerning any...previous employees. Um, when we get it all sorted out, we may move you to the day shift, a position just became...available. Uh, we don't have a replacement for your shift yet, but we're working on it. Uh, we're going to try to contact the original restaurant owner. Uh, I think the name of the place was..."Fredbear's Family Diner" or something like that. It's been closed for years though; I doubt we'll be able to track anybody down. Well, just get through one more night! Uh, hang in there! Goodnight!” that night during his shift he saw the old robots walking around they were all dirty and damaged seemingly beyond repair Jeremy decided to call them “withers” the withered animatronics they easily got into his office but he easily kept them away by putting on his mask right as they stepped in after hours of keeping the withers away his shift ended and they shut down and he finally went home again the next day he wasn’t supposed to go to work but he did anyway he didn’t expect a phone call but he got one anyway “Hello? Hello...uh...what on earth are you doing there, uh didn’t you get the memo, uh, the place is closed down, uh, at least for a while. Someone used one of the suits. We had a spare in the back, a yellow one; someone used it...now none of them are acting right. Listen j-just finish your shift it’s safer than trying to leave in the middle of the night. Uh we have one more event scheduled for tomorrow, a birthday. You’ll be on day shift, wear your uniform, stay close to the animatronics, make sure they don’t hurt anyone okay, uh for now just make it through the night, uh when the place eventually opens again I’ll probably take the night shift myself. Okay, good night and good luck.” Jeremy had a hard time surviving everything was coming all at once and every once in a while he saw a golden bear appear and fade in his office it almost got him but he kept it away and managed to survive the next day they hired a new guy named France Smith Jeremy never met him but heard he got fired on the first day and shortly after the business was shut down after a worker had his face bitten bye one of the robots and a few weeks later William Afton came back to the pizzeria for five days he came back he was sad that the robots killed his children and guilty that he caused it to happen the first day he found a purple costume that looked like Freddy he put it on and told Freddy “follow me” he led Freddy to the “safe room” in the back it was the room he lured the children to too experiment on as it was invisible to cameras but it also was invisible to the robots Freddy thought William was another ghost robot walking through walls so he just walked away but William rushed out and tore him apart before he got away the next few nights he did the same thing to Bonnie Chika and Foxy and on the fifth night he went in the back room and saw Spring Bonnie the one that started it all the one he was he got ready to smash it when he heard crying he looked back at the door and saw five children floating slightly with white skin and grey tears they were Michael's friends but the leader wasn’t Michael he couldn’t bear to kill his own father instead the leader was Sammy the very first William murdered Sammy chased him back and forth in the room until William hid inside Spring Bonnie he started going insane again as he laughed thinking he won but soon the spring locks in the suit failed and he fell to the floor the suit slashed into his skin it broke his bones cut his organs crushed his skull and began to fuse with him turning him into the monster he always was the monster he wanted to destroy and he was locked underground inside that pizzeria until the day it opened again
