Chapter 7: Back Again.
Previous ChapterNext Chapter“So when do we start?” Jeremy asked the princess.
“Monday. Currently its Saturday so you should probably go make sure we didn't destroy anything in our search of the establishment.” Celestia said while floating a book over to them. “Since we have no records of you're Equestria citizenship, I'll ask that you read over this book and come back here on Sunday and we will fill out the forms.” She finished and opened the door with her magic.
“Okay I guess we’ll be going…” Scott said and looked down at the ‘map’ that showed the wrought to the pizzeria. The question was on all their minds, there were 2 ‘Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza’s that were made, the one with only 4 animatronics and where all the bad shit happened. The bite, the 5 murdered kids and such. But if this was a new country… Or even planet… The restaurant had a clean slate. They could re-open Pirates Cove and clean up the animatronics. But that would be very expensive…
“Could we borrow some money for repairs and cleaning?” Mike asked as politely as a man with no frontal lobe could have.
Celestia raised an eyebrow, but complained no less and teleported up a hefty sack of money, that the royal guards dropped their jaws upon seeing. Must have been a lot. Mike grabbed the bag and they turned and walked out. Celestia turned to the doors out to the balcony where she could address the city. Luna joined her sister at the doors and they walked down the hallway to the balcony, communicating telepathically.
‘What do you make of them?’ Celestia asked her sister.
‘They seem trustworthy. But the line gets drawn at the purple one. He doesn't seem safe at all…’ Luna responded with. She didn't know much about ‘Vincent’ but she and her sister and about every other unicorn on the planet could sense the amount of dark energy he emitted.
‘Indeed, most of them had different aspects. The one with the red object on his head must be the leader amongst their species. He and the one with no face, just punctuation. We will need to ask them more about it sometime.’ Celestia said, thinking back on the guards.
‘Did you sense what came from Michael?’ Luna though.
‘His extremely suppressed anger and sadness? I will also ask him about it…’
‘No, not only that but… What he keeps it suppressed with?’ Luna replied, thinking about her.
‘His love for another? If their species and culture is like ours, they must have the same type of relationships.’ Celestia said.
‘Yes, that. But it's also building some sadness. It's natural. If he's not around his ‘special somepony’ he seems to get sadder. Also, his suppressed anger rises more.’
They arrived at the balcony, and the paparazzi has already amassed. Celestia started to charge a spell she hadn't used since the changeling invasion of Canterlot, a spell that would contact the minds of all citizens of Equestria.
She used the spell, and connected it to all the sentient creatures in Equestria.
‘Attention citizens of Equestria, today we have 5 new citizens joining our wonderful nation. Do not be scared of their appearance, as they look like the top half of a centaur and the bottom half of a monkey. They are civilized and speak Equestrian, so do not contact the authorities if you see them around. Currently they are in Canterlot under supervision so please do not panic. Thank you, Princess Celestia.’ She finished the message and walked back inside to eat some lunch with Luna.
The guards charged through the streets like a stampede, when they left the castle they had gained the attention of the whole paparazzi, luckily they were a few houses from the pizzeria. They smashed through a lemonade stand and continued running, spotting 2 guards keeping the paparazzi who wanted pictures of the inside of the pizzeria already at bay, the night watchmen ran over and stopped the ongoing battle of the building for a second and received some weird stares, but everything resumed and they smashed though the swarm of photographers.
“Hey you better keep them all at bay!” Was all Jeremy was able to yell out as they smashed into the buildings front doors and onto the ground. The 2 guards outside the building turned around to be greeted by a tsunami of reporters, new and old.
The guards recognized the entrance as the one to the old building, it has the same dining halo and the 3 mascots of the company charging on stage. However, in the corner the familiar sound of the music box played on, gaining the attention of the guards.
“Is this some sort of hybrid pizzeria?” Fritz asked, looking around. The floors were still the black and white tiles, but the door to the backstage was switched to a door that read ‘parts & service’ the guards walked over to the door and opened it up, the contents were pretty self explanatory. Some wiring equipment and tools, but in the corner were the toy animatronics. They were sat in the corner and had cables connecting to their backs and were asleep like the rest. The guards turned around and left after checking the room for damage. They didn't notice the slightly twitching tarp in the corner opposite of the toys.
Instead of the main halo that connected originally to the parts and service room, it was the long hallway that Foxy always was at the end of. At the end of the hallway, was the office. But not the office with the mask, the way better office with electro-magnetic doors. Way better. Or the right side of the hallway was the men's bathroom and a doorway that lead down into a hallway that connected to the left side of the office. On the right was the women's bathroom and another hallway that lead to the other side of the office. Earlier they spotted pirates cove in the dining hall, Mike didn’t notice it but the others sure did. On the ground in front of the purple curtains was a large puddle of blood and a small bandana that looked like it was ripped in half.
Mike ran down the hallway as fast as he could to do something he thought would be funny. The rest knew what he was about to do so they charged him, Scott ran down the hallway that lead to the right door and Jeremy went to the left door. Mike reached the button panel on the desk in the middle of the room and slammed the door button, closing the middle door and blocking everyone out. Footsteps echoed out of each door on his sides, and he ran to the right door and slammed the door, but it was too late for the left. Mike was now going to meet his not at all violent death.
But it was Jeremy.
“Jeremy close the door!” Mike yelled after spotting the rest charging down the hall behind him. Jeremy looked to his left and spotted the door button between the door and window. He pressed it and the door slammed shut directly behind him, locking him and Mike inside the office. The camera monitor was charging in the corner. Mike walked over and picked it up and checked the cameras. There were 2 in each hallway, one for directly outside the door (good thing too, there were no lights.) to spot anyone outside the door. The one for the hallway faced down it, the same camera locations were in the other hallway. In the long middle corridor, was a camera facing down the whole hall above the door to walk down to the office. The camera for pirates cove, as well as the prize counter cam. The main stage was the same. However, the dining area camera was in bad quality, luckily the whole area was lit up and it would be easy to spot anyone inside.
Fritz, Scott and Vincent were eating pizza in the kitchen, the camera was no longer broken. A loud clang came from the front door and the guards in the kitchen pointed at the camera, the. Out the closed kitchen door. Mike flipped out to the dining area camera and saw the animatronics approaching the kitchen. Scared for the life of his “friends” Mike looked for a way to signal them, underneath the tablet was a manual, Mike flipped through the book and spotted a ‘microphone’ option.
“Mike what are you doing?” Jeremy asked when he spotted Mike flipping through pages.
“THE ANIMATRONICS ARE GOING TO KILL THEM!” Mike yelled, looking allover the tablet for a microphone.
“WHAT?!” Jeremy yelled and ran over to Mike, who had the camera on the 3 animatronics approaching the kitchen.
Mike found the button on the screen, above the button to wind the music box. Pressing it and switching to the kitchen he yelled.
“GET BACK TO THE OFFICE NOW!” He yelled and all the guards burst up and kicked open the door and spotted the animatronics.
The guards ran past them to the hall and Mike opened the door and looked down at the tablet and saw something in the doorway he was right next to. He was even on the camera. Mike slowly looked up and was met face to face with his childhood friend. Captain Foxy.
