A New Guard

Chapter Nine: Repairs

I wake up as my phone starts going off. I shut it off and quickly pack a lunch for tomorrow. I'm about to leave, but then stop. I quickly run back to my computer desk and grab the Mangle plushie and head out for the pizzeria. I reach the pizzeria and grab the plushie. I check the time on my phone as I head inside and see it's 11:59. Instead of heading straight for the office, I enter Kid's Cove just as Mangle powers up. Mangle looks up at me.

"Hey. What brings you here?" Mangle says. I kneel down by Mangle.

"I just want to ask, is this from you?" I say, holding up the plushie. I see Mangle get a slight look of surprise and, I swear she's blushing a bit.

"Uh. Y-Yeah. I just wanted to get you something for fixing my voice box," Mangle says, almost nervously.

"Ah. Well, I appreciate the gift. Thank you," I say. I notice Mangle's pink cheeks grow a more solid shade of red. Is she, blushing? Can animatronics blush? Toy Chica bursts in, interrupting my thoughts.

"Help. Toy Freddy. Is hurt. Badly," Toy Chica pants. Wait, what? Is Toy Chica, fatigued? I toss the thought aside as I pick up the Mangle plushie and follow Chica to the office? I look and see Toy Freddy is lying in a puddle of oil, his suit torn and oil seeping out of the cuts and tears.

"Aye! Just in time, laddie! Tools are here," Foxy says, keeping oil-stained rags against Toy Freddy.

"Chica, Bonnie, Mangle. Keep guard and make sure that the withered animatronics don't come," I say.

"Alright!" The three say.

"Foxy. You just keep Freddy calm and keep doing what you're doing," I say.

"Aye, lass," Foxy says.

"You know what? Bonnie. Go in the Parts and Service room and try to find anything that you can find to patch up Freddy," I say.

"Alright!" Toy Bonnie says, taking off. I get to work carefully removing Freddy's suit, revealing his endoskeleton. Toy Bonnie returns with some wires, tubing, and suit parts.

"Thanks," I say. Toy Bonnie nods and gets back to watching with Mangle and Chica. I get to work patching and fixing Toy Freddy. After a while, I finally fixed Toy Freddy and repaired his suit. I get his suit back on him, but he's not powering on. After a while, Toy Freddy's eyes light up.

"Yarr. Ye feeling alright, lad?" Foxy says.

"What? Y-You fixed me. Why?" Toy Freddy says.

"You're the face of Freddy Fazbear's Pizza. It wouldn't be Freddy's without Freddy," I say, wiping my hands clean of oil. Toy Freddy props himself up.

"Freddy! You're okay!" Toy Chica says, coming over. Toy Bonnie follows.

"Glad to see you could fix Freddy," Toy Bonnie says.

"I- I'm- Thank you for fixing me," Toy Freddy says.

"No problem, Freddy," I say, putting the tools away.

"Aye. I'll-" Foxy is cut off as a deep laugh is heard from the hallway.

"What was that?" Toy Freddy says, trying to get up.

"Hey! Easy! You've got to let your oil get flowing normally," I say. Toy Freddy nods and leans against a wall. Withered Bonnie, Chica, and Freddy come closer, their eyes glowing in the dark hallway. Withered Freddy simply toss Toy Bonnie, Chica, and Foxy aside as he makes his way to Freddy and I.

"T-T-Toy Freddy? I th-thought we got rid of y-y-you," Withered Freddy says, his voice box glitching.

"It l-looks like the new n-night guard fixed him," Withered Chica says, her voice also glitching.
