♡Michael's Pov♡
I entered the elevator and the door closed behind me and it started to go down. "Welcome back to another pivotal night of your thriving new career," great, he's back. "where you get to really ask yourself, 'What am I doing with my life?'," "don't know." I muttered. "'What would my friends say?'," "I lost them a long time ago." I grumbled. "and most importantly, 'Will I ever see my family again?'." "Nope, their all dead." I said. "We understand the stresses of a new job," "Yeah cause the person who made this totally understands what it's like to have a job where robots try to kill you." I murmured "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." "Dear god, please don't. I don't need to deal with your glitchy screen." I said. "Using the keypad below, please type the first few letters of the musical selection you would prefer." "Oh fuck you!" I said and just typed in random letters. "It seems you had some trouble with the keypad." "Yeah, no shit."  "I see what you were trying to type, and I will auto-correct it for you. Thank you for selecting: Casual Bongos." Music started to play and surprisingly it didn't sound half bad. "Now that your elevator experience has been customized to your needs, and your 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." "Alright fine, but only because you put on some type of good music." I said and crossed my arms and tapped my foot while waiting for the elevator to  get to the bottom. The elevator landed with and 'clung' and I pressed the button to open the door and crawled into the vent. "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. 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." "Damn, the fuck did Freddy do?" I asked as I climbed out of the vent. "Let’s check on Ballora first, and make sure she’s on her stage." I hit the light button. I shivered at what I saw, it was Ballora but she was torn apart and her minareannas were holding her parts up. "Great. It looks like everything is as it should be in Ballora Gallery." "That's not fucking normal!" I cried. "Let’s check on Funtime Foxy. It’s important to make sure they're on their stage before entering." I turned on Foxy's light, they weren't there. "Great. It looks like everything is as it should be in Funtime Auditorium." "How?! They're not wven there!" "There is no need to check on Baby tonight. Please refrain from entering unauthorized areas. Proceed directly to Funtime Auditorium." 'Yeah... no. I'm not dying yet.' I crawled to Circus Auditorium to take a bit of a breather and get ready to deal with Freddy. I crawled out and stood up just to lean on a wall. 'Damn, I wish I had a cigarette with me.' 'No you don't because then you'll smell it and they might fire you.' I grumbled, he was right. "Did you know that I was on stage once?" I jumped at Baby suddenly talking. 'Damn, she really likes talking' 'shut up, I wanna hear her story' I rolled my eyes but stayed quiet. "It wasn’t for very long, only one day." 'Yeah, that one day is when my sister died to you.' 'Shut up!' 'Ok! Ok!' "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 pursed my lips, I didn't like where this was going. "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." I pushed myself off the wall and just looked into the dark room behind the glass. "No..." I whispered. "A little girl, standing by herself. I was no longer myself." 'Was she controlled, or did father do something?' "And I stopped singing. My stomach opened and there was ice cream." I knew she was talking about Elizabeth. "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?" My eyes widened. She can hear Elizabeth? So Elizabeth actually possesses her? I quickly crawled back through the vent and back to the control module. I saw a small handheld ball with a button on top. There was a sticky not next to it that said 'flash beacon. Use it!!' (I have no idea what a flash beacon looks like) I then crawled into funtime auditorium "Unlike Ballora, Funtime Foxy is motion-activated. For this reason, it is 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." I crawled across the ground and then hit the flash beacon. A bright flash of light filled the room quickly and I saw Funtime Foxy at the other side of the room. I crawled for about thirty seconds then hit the beacon  again. They were closer, a lot closer. I held my breath and crawled faster. I hit the beacon again and they were in the back again. I crawled and made it to the door. I got up and rushed into the room. There was a conveyor belt. "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." I looked to my right and saw the small button and pressed it. "For clarification, please note that I am referring to Freddy’s right, not your right." I jumped then grumbled. However I couldn't help but giggle at my stupidity. I then pressed the left button. "Great! Now locate the button under his left cheek, and press it." I pressed the button. "Great! Now carefully locate and press the button next to Freddy’s right eye." I pressed it. "Great! Now carefully locate and press the button just above Freddy’s nose." I hit it and jumped as the face-plates opened. "Good job! The face-plates should now be open. Locate and press the small button on the underside of Freddy’s endoskeleton jaw." I looked for the button then found and pressed it. "Excellent. The chest cavity should now be open. Remove the power module from the chest cavity." I looked down and saw that the chest cavity was open and I saw this "power module." I gasped. It was an illusion disk, there must be a blueprint for this, and an office. I looked around the room, there were mostly tools but there were a few blueprints. I looked at Freddy and held a finger to him. "Stay!" I went to the small pile of blueprints and looked through them. There was Funtime Foxy, Funtime Feddy, Ballora, Baby, Ennard, and something called the scooper. I didn't pay attention to any of the blueprints but this one. Two things caught my eye, "B. Remnant Injector." and "D. Remnant Reservoir." "Why would those be here?" I muttered and saw one more blueprint. I grabbed it and looked at it. It was the blueprint for an illusion disk. "Finally!" I said and folded it up and went to put it in my pocket when I remembered. My uniform pants didn't have pockets. 'I'm going to have to come back to this but I need to make sure nobody takes it.' I hid the blueprint in a toolbox and went back to Freddy and took out the illusion disk and looked at it. It was very damaged, practically unfixable. "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." I looked at where bonbon would be but they weren't there. "Really?" I muttered. I saw bonbon over Freddy’s shoulder and I reached for them but they went back behind Freddy. I spent a few minutes trying to get them when "Press the large black button beneath Bonnie’s bow-tie to release the power module." "I'm fucking trying!" I was eventually able to press the button and bonbon froze. I then grabbed the other illusion disk and looked at it. It was destroyed. I sighed and put it in my palm with the other one. "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." I looked down at the disks, I might be able to fix them and save Daisy. I turned around and exited parts and Service and went to the floor and crawled. I used my beacon a few times but I noticed that Foxy wasn't anywhere. I saw the vent and went to it, that's when Foxy lunged out of the dark and tackled me to the ground with a scream from both of us. They raised claw and slashed it across my face and everything went black.

I jumped down to parts and Service where Freddy still was. I took off his shell and started to take wires out of him and wrap and fuse them with me. 'Are you sure this will work? Do we really have to kill them?' Noah asked. It was clear he didn't want to kill anyone and I understand him, he blamed himself for his son's death and he didn't want to kill. 'Noah, listen. I know you don't like it but we've been down here long enough and this is the last thing we can do. We're rusting and if they stay here any longer than they will dismantle us and we'll never be free.' 'Fine.' I took out most of Freddy and Bonbon's wires and fused them with me. I felt their consciousness enter my mind meaning that they can control their wires and leave if they wanted. I then hit the button that started the conveyor belt and moved Freddy and Bonbon's remains to the Scooping Room. I then heard Foxy's scream meaning that they successfully knocked out Eggs so we can move on to the next step.
