Chapter 24

Chapter XXIV: The Unseen

 At the elevator,

"Welcome back to another pivotal night of your thriving new career, where you get to really ask yourself, what am I doing with my life? What would my friends say, and most importantly, will I ever see my family again? We understand the stresses of a new job, and we're here for you. To help you reach a more stable and relaxing frame of mind, we offer several musical selections to help make this elevator ride as relaxing and therapeutic as possible. We offer contemporary jazz, classical rainforest ambiance as well as a wide selection of other choices."

 The keypad turns up again.

"Using the keypad below, please type the first few letters of the musical selection you would prefer."

 Michael types, but the keypad is glitching again.

"It seems you had some trouble with the keypad. I see what you were trying to type, and I will auto-correct it for you. Thank you for selecting: Casual Bongo"

''Now that your elevator experience has been customized to your needs, and you're thoroughly relaxed, it's worth mentioning that due to your lackluster performance yesterday, your pay has been decreased by a substantial amount. Please enjoy the rest of your descent.''

 As he descends, Casual Bongos is playing. He finally gets down, the doors open and he crawls into the vent. When he is inside the vent reaching Primary Control Module,

"Due to unforeseen malfunctions from today's shows, your nightly duties will require you to perform maintenance that you may or may not be skilled enough to perform. It became necessary for technicians to attempt to disconnect Funtime Freddy's power module."

 He reaches the Primary Control Module.

"However, they were unsuccessful. Allowing them to try again would be an inefficient path forward, as we would need to allow six to eight weeks for recovery and physical therapy. You will need to reach the Parts and Service room on the other side of Funtime Auditorium to perform the procedure yourself. Let's check on Ballora first, and make sure she's on her stage."

 Michael checks on Ballora. However, something is strange since Ballora looks dismembered and her parts are being held up by "Minireenas".

"Great, it looks like everything is as it should be in Ballora Gallery. Let's check on Funtime Foxy. It's important to make sure she's on her stage before entering."

 He then checks Funtime Foxy, but he's not there. But,

"Great, it looks like everything is as it should be in Funtime Auditorium. There is no need to check on Baby tonight; please refrain from entering unauthorized areas. Proceed directly to Funtime Auditorium."

 He then crawls into Funtime Auditorium, apparently the lights are off. He hides inside the drawer under the desk. Suddenly,

Baby:

"Did you know that I was on stage once? It wasn't for very long.. only one day. What a wonderful day, though. I was in a small room with balloons and a few tables. No-one sat at the tables though, but children would run in and out. Some were afraid of me, others enjoyed my songs.''

''Music was always coming from somewhere else... down a hall. I would always count the children, I'm not sure why. I was always acutely aware of how many there were in the room with me.''

''Two, then three, then two, then three, then four, then two, then none. They usually played together in groups of two or three.''

''I was covered in glitter. I smelled like birthday cake. There were two, then three, then five, then four.''

''I can do something special, did you know that? I can make ice cream - although I only did it once...''

''There were four, then three, then two, then one. Something happened when there was one. A little girl, standing by herself. I was no longer... myself. And I stopped singing.''

''My stomach opened, and there was ice cream. I couldn't move, at least, not until she stepped closer. There was screaming for a moment... but only for a moment.''

''Then other children rushed in again, but they couldn't hear her over the sounds of their own excitement. I still hear her sometimes. Why did that happen?"

 He comes out of the drawer, and crawls back into the Primary Control Module. He then opens the vent towards the maintenance, which is on Funtime Foxy's.

"Unlike Ballora, Funtime Foxy is motion-activated. For this reason, it's important to keep the room dark, as to not accidentally activate her. You have been provided with a flash beacon. Use it if you need to get your bearings and to ensure you don't bump into anything. However, use it as sparingly as possible. Proceed forward to reach the Parts and Service room."

 As he flashes Funtime Foxy with the camera,

Funtime Foxy:

Every day, the show goes on

In the underground ground

On the stage, a song replays

And it travels down, down

Down to the recesses of your nightmares

Find me waiting there, or are you too scared?

Rest in peace is not for me, it's not fair

So welcome to the show

Dead but not buried

You're screaming, "It's alive!"

When my claws get a grip, and you see me in the night

I'm dead but not buried

Remnant of his mistakes

Ignited by revenge 'til this metal body breaks

Oh-oh-oh

A carnival of angry souls

That can never come home

They are the only friends I have

And we all want you to go

Down to the recesses of your nightmares

Find me waiting there, or are you too scared?

Rest in peace is not for me, it's not fair

So welcome to the show

Dead but not buried

You're screaming, "It's alive!"

When my claws get a grip, and you see me in the night

I'm dead but not buried

Remnant of his mistakes

Ignited by revenge 'til this metal body breaks

Oh-oh-oh

I'm dead but not buried

Oh-oh-oh

I'm dead but not buried

Oh-oh-oh

Restless and the show must go on

It's always a fun time in the shadows

In the silence, I can hear your pulse

Its beat will stop when I make it hollow

Dead but not buried

You're screaming, "It's alive!"

When my claws get a grip, and you see me in the night

I'm dead but not buried

Remnant of his mistakes

Ignited by revenge 'til this metal body breaks

Dead but not buried

You're screaming, "It's alive!"

When my claws get a grip, and you see me in the night

I'm dead but not buried

Remnant of his mistakes

Ignited by revenge 'til this metal body breaks

Oh-oh-oh

I'm dead but not buried

Oh-oh-oh

I'm dead but not buried

Dead but not buried

Oh-oh-oh

 Michael then reaches Parts and Service. Funtime Freddy is there again.

"Great job reaching Parts and Service! It seems that Funtime Freddy is out of power, which should make your job much easier. The release switch for the chest cavity is located on the underside of the endoskeleton jaw. To reach it, we will first need to open the face-plates. You will need to press the face-plate release triggers in a specific order, and it's important to be as precise and as careful as possible. Locate the small button on Freddy's face, just under his right cheek, and press it."

 He then presses the button under Funtime Freddy's right cheek.

"Great! Now locate the button under his left cheek, and press it."

 He presses it.

"Great! Now carefully locate and press the button next to Freddy's right eye."

 He presses it.

"Great! now carefully locate and press the button just above Freddy's nose."

 He presses the button. And the face plates open.

"Good job! The face-plates should now be open. Locate and press the small button on the underside of Freddy's endoskeleton jaw."

 He presses it, and the chest cavity opens.

"Excellent. The chest cavity should now be open. Remove the power module from the chest cavity."

 He removes it. He checks Bon Bon but he is not on Funtime Freddy's arm anymore.

"Great work. You will now be required to remove the secondary power module from the Bonnie hand-puppet. Press the large black button beneath Bonnie's bow-tie to release the power module."

 As he tries to find Bon Bon,

Bon Bon and Funtime Freddy Duet:

Security systems breached...

Shutting down safety protocol...

(Bon Bon!)

(I think it's the birthday boy over there!)

(Let's giving him a surprise...)

You can hide

You can run

When I chase

It's always fun

When you

Circulate around the darkness

That surrounds you

Cannot flee

Can't you see

You and me

Can never leave

Tonight

When we lunge at you

Ripping into your

Face

Don't be so scared

This fun masquerade is

Not what it seems

We've been stripped of trust

Your shocks can't contain us!

Step inside

Meet your doom

None survive the breaker room

Shut down, turn around

Better not make a sound

I know you won't be back Another Round

Out of danger

Into death

There's no time

To catch your breath

Oh, breaking and shaking

Wе'll never forgive you!

R-R-Ready for round two?

Sealed away

In this cage

Now behold

This game is made

For you

Yeah, now better submit

This is the end of you

Tragedy

Will naturally

And happily

Make it's way here

Knock kno-o-ock!

Bon Bon, come and grab the mic and make this party bright!

We know the truth you're hiding, oh

Your nightmares mechanizing oh

Ever since you came back

We've been on the attack!

Step inside

Meet your doom

None survive the breaker room

Shut down, turn around

Better not make a sound

I know you won't be back Another Round

Out of danger

Into death

There's no time

To catch your breath

Oh, breaking and shaking

We'll never forgive you!

Michael: "For bloody sakes! Where is that Button? Stay still will ya?!"

Bon Bon and Funtime Freddy:

You clock in

And clock out

But we still remain

Hidden in rust and

Hidden in pain

You zap here

And shock there

Without no disdain (No disdain)

Ignoring our confilct, you're

Mocking our pain!

Step inside

Meet your doom

None survive the breaker room

Shut down, turn around

Better not make a sound

I know you won't be back Another Round

Out of danger

Into death

There's no time

To catch your breath

Oh, breaking and shaking

We'll never forgive you!

Let's give him a surprise!

Step inside

Meet your doom

None survive the breaker room

Shut down, turn around

Better not make a sound

I know you won't be back Another Round

Out of danger

Into death

There's no time

To catch your breath

Oh, breaking and shaking

We'll never forgive you!

Michael: "Oh there it is"

 He then presses the button below Bon Bon's Bowtie.

"Great job. You've acquired both power modules. This completes your tasks for the night. Please exit the building through Funtime Auditorium, and we'll see you back here again tomorrow."

 He crawls back to Funtime Auditorium. However as he keeps flashing the beam, Funtime Foxy jumpscares him.
