“So you're telling us that Afton is really bad news,” asked pinkie.

“Yep and he’s the next animatronic. Damn cyborg zombie is going to be enraged that I took his place as malhare and left him trapped as springtrap. Not going to lie he’s got 30 years' worth of anger built up. He died in 1993” I told them.

With that said the rainbooms and vanny looked confused.

“Spring lock suits basically a wearable animatronic thing is spring locks fail with moisture so Afton died from endoskeleton parts crushing his body.” I deadpanned.

With that revelation, sunset set the game’s settings to fnaf 3 altering the pizzeria to the fnaf 3 location. And there on the stage was springtrap himself.

“Ah, I been wondering when the Bitch who took my place was going to show up. Better be ready, girl because once I'm done with miss glitch you are going to be my new body” William Afton said tilting his head to look at sunset.

“Dream on Will I won’t let you turn sunset into a murderer. If there is one thing I learned since I ended up in this dimension it's that as long as we are together you cant break the bond we forged in these past few days. See you on night 2 because we won't allow you to roam free. Though were you even aware Elizabeth became circus baby until that fire?” I had to ask moving to stand before sunset she reached out and started night one before will could answer.

As the security office formed I looked to sunset.

“Sis once the phone call is over ill tell you where the fazcoins and tape is for this section of the game. This is the third installment of five nights at Freddy's and when we actually met the antagonist of the series as it all seemed from him that everything happened involving Freddy's.” I told sunset as she looked around the office.

“Hey hey, glad you came back for another night! I promise it’ll be a lot more interesting this time! We found, some great new relics over the weekend, and we’re out tracking down a new lead, right now! So, uh, lemme just update you real quick, then you can get to work. Like, the attraction opens in like, a week, so we have to make sure everything works, and nothing catches on fire!’ said a guy with a surfer accent. I still don’t know what this guy’s actual name was.

“Is he serious? About the fire, I mean” sunset asked.

“Just listen and you will find out,” I told her.

“Uh, when the place opens, people will come in at the opposite end of the building, and work their way toward you, then past you and out the exit. Uh, yeah you’ve officially become part of the attraction. Uh, you’ll be starring as…the security guard! So not only will you be monitoring the people on the camera as they pass through – you know, to make sure no one steals anything or makes out in the corner – but you’ll also be a part of the show. It’ll make it feel really authentic, I think.”

“Considering what we had to deal with in the past two segments this is going to be tame beside the serial killer that’s an insane cyborg zombie” sunset deadpanned.

“Uh, now lemme tell you about what’s new. We found another set of drawings, always nice, and a Foxy head! Which we think could be authentic! Then again, it might just be another crappy cosplay. And we found a desk fan. Very old-school. Metal though. Watch the fingers, uh, ha.”

“Why would I poke my fingers into the fan? Does he think I'm an idiot?” sunset asked.

“Uh, right now the place is basically just, you know, flashing lights and spooky props. Uh, I honestly thought we’d have more by now. Uh, if we don’t have something really cool by next week, we may have to suit you up in a furry suit and make you walk around saying “boo!”. Heh-heh.”

“Not likely buddy I'm not going to become an Animatronic that quick and if I wanted my fur back I could go visit Equestria where I'm a unicorn” sunset scoffed.

“Uh, but you know, as I said, we’re trying to track down a good lead right now. Uh, some guy who helped design one of the buildings says there was like an extra room that got boarded up, or, uh, something like that. So we’re gonna take a peek and see what we can find. Uh, for now just get comfortable with the new setup.”

“Was that where Afton was for 30 years?” asked sunset looking to me.

“Yep isolated for 30 years as his body rotted inside spring bonnie. The electronics of the animatronic jammed into his brain just made him further insane like very off the deep end” I nodded deadpan.

“Umm, you can check the security cameras over to your right with a click of that blue button. Uh, you can toggle between the hall cams and the vent cam. Uh, then over to your far left, uh, you can flip up your maintenance panel. You know, use this to reboot any systems that may go offline. Uh-heh. Uh in trying to make the place feel vintage we may have overdone it a bit, heh-heh. Some of this equipment is barely functional. Yeah, I-I wasn’t joking about the fire that’s-that’s-that’s a real risk. Uh, the most important thing you want to watch for is the ventilation.”

“And my earlier question has been answered great so we are going to track down the actual fazbear frights later to be sure Afton isn’t lurking in there,” sunset asked as I nodded.

“Look, this place will give you the spooks, man, and if you let that ventilation go offline then you’ll start seeing some crazy stuff, man. Keep that air flowing! Okay, keep an eye on things, and we’ll try to have something new for you tomorrow night!”

“Oh, right the phantom animatronics hallucinations that disable certain systems making it easier for Afton to get us once night two starts,” I said sighing.

“Right first the coins. There’s one leaning against the camera monitor, theirs a hidden keypad just above the monitor and the last one appears in the vent but we need a vent error for it to even show up. The tape is behind the maintenance panel. I got the keypad” I said typing in the code 3-9-5-2-4-8 causing a faz coin to appear on the vent monitor. Once sunset collected the items appearing was me but dressed like an undead witch.

“Oh, your my love of horror stuff arent you so let's call you Horror,” I said as she grinned and held up a chainsaw.

“Help us with Afton and we will watch a horror movie later. We are not listening to the tape and integrating back until we are done with fnaf 3 I really don’t trust will” I said pointing at her. as sunset got used to the controls I took the time to explore and resolved to track down an endoskeleton’s programming so once we built me a new body we can make sure it can actually move. Still six tapes down eight to go.

This was going to be a long few ‘nights’ I can tell.

Author's Note

whoo, I needed that week off especially with thanksgiving so yeah now we are in fazbear frights and have met the villain of this story William Afton. and he's none too pleased to meet Marie. thank god the first night for fazbear fright is a breather one. and I'm still waiting for someone to do fan art of Marie as a 'toy' female glitchtrap/malhare for this story. I need a proper cover art for this story soon. and I'm still surprised by how many people like this. it's not even edited by a beta reader and a lot of you have really been enjoying this. guess I underestimated how good of a storyteller I am cause man this really helps my confidence.
