Five Nights at Freddy's: Dark Rising

Ch. 15: The 2 Truths

[New Show Stage]

Mike was repairing Flame's legs. He noticed the sweat appearing from Flame's body.

"Oh not this again... FREDDY!" Mike shouted as he dropped the wrench.

Freddy ran into the room with Goldie and Foxy.

"What's wrong?" Freddy asked him.

"He's doing it again..." Mike replied, as he touched Flame's forehead.

"Oh my god he's burning up!" Mike shouted as he pulled his hand away; his hand was badly burned from the heat.

"We will have to wait... it's bad to wake him in this state..." Goldie told them as they watched Flame's body slowly getting hotter.

[Flame's Final Nightmare]

The teenager struggled as the animatronic pulled him across the party room. He noticed another animatronic from behind take his IPhone out of his pocket.

"Hey that's mine!" The teenager shouted as he tried reaching for the device.

The animatronic just snarled and threw it down onto 1 of the tables. The teenager saw as they brought him into the backstage room. They took out an animatronics suit from behind the desk. He couldn't make out what kind of animatronic it was, since the room was extremely dark. The teenager just went limp with defeat. He known that they have caught him, and that he was powerless to stop them from carrying out their plan.

They stuffed him into the suit, and the teenager screamed in pain. He looked at the animatronic, and saw that it actually had a sign of sadness. "Wh-why would they care about me?" The teenager thought as they placed an animatronics head over his own. The pain was almost unbearable. He then heard them say some kind of ritual, and he was terrified. After they were done, all but a single animatronic left the room.

"I'm sorry, about you and your friend, I didn't want to do this, but it will save my own friend. I know that it is painful, but we can't do anything about that. I didn't want to sacrifice a human like yourself, but it was the only way to insure he will come back. Your friend was weak, but you were not, I only hope that your memory's will be mixed in with Flame's..." The teenager heard this and cried. Soon after, a bright white light came into his vision...

[New Show Stage]

Mike watched as Flame's body began to cool down. He was unsure of what to do.

"Ok, it's safe to wake him up now..." Goldie told them as they walked over to him.

Flame's ear perked up as he heard this, "Oh hey... what happened when I was asleep?"

Mike looked in shock, "I... I didn't turn you back on, the switch is still set to off..."

Freddy walked over and saw that Flame's power switch was indeed off, "Wha-what happened in those nightmares you had?"

"I... I'd rather not say..." Flame told them all.

They all walked over to the main party room, and the others got up.

"We were so worried for you!" Jeremy said as he took a piece of pizza from the box.

"Yea, you don't look so good..." Toy Chica told Flame.

Flame looked at Marionette's direction, "I'm ready to figure out what's inside of me..."

Marionette walked over to him, and hesitated for a second, "Are you sure about this, I mean Ryk-"

"Just do it!" Flame shouted at him. The Marionette quickly pressed the button, and Flame's chest slowly opened up.

They all were shocked and disgusted at what was inside. Flame's endoskeleton was fused with the body of a teenager. Swift walked over to him and put her paw on his shoulder.

"Flame... what happened?" Swift said in a calm voice.

"Rykson happened..." Flame replied, with a quieter voice.

"I knew something was up when I 1st saw you..." Goldie said in a deeper voice than usual.

"What? Does it have to do... with the war?" Freddy asked him.

Goldie hesitated when he spoke about the war, "Don't... ever mention that again..."

Freddy looked puzzled at this, "What happened in the war?"

Goldie sighed. He looked up at the crew and explained, "There was a big war between 2 pizzerias in 1970, it was between the older location here, and the one in California. The 2 pizzerias had to be shut down because of it. Anyways, what happened was that near the end of the war, me and Rykson were held captive in the others base, the one in California. We were about to be dismantled, but then Flame smashed through one the walls. He shouted at us to run, and we did. That was the last time we ever saw him in 30 years. Rykson and I were told about 17 years later, that's when the 3rd pizzeria in Ohio was in operation, and when you all were here, that they have found Flame in the abandoned pizzeria in California. They said that he was dead. Rykson was in fury when he heard this, and he wanted Flame back. He brought 3 other animatronics with him so that he can find a way to bring him back. This made you all happy, but this got Mangle infuriated that they left us. She was the only one where it wasn't explained why they had left. She was so mad, that she couldn't take it anymore. She then bit the best friend of the birthday kid, and took out his frontal lobe..."

Goldie stopped talking and looked at Mike. He had an expression of terror in his face.

"Tha-that's why my best friend was nearly killed! Because of an act of anger towards another animatronic!" Mike shouted at Goldie.

"Please Mike, we didn't think that she would act like that..." Goldie said to him.

"You guys never think! The only animatronic that actually thinks around here is Marionette, and he's damn annoying!" Mike yelled one last time, "I'm done with you guys... I will never come back here ever again..."

Mike ran out the doors of the pizzeria. Jeremy ran after him.

"Wait! Mike come back!" They heard Jeremy shout after him.

"Oh no... what are we going to do..." Freddy said as he was walking towards the backstage.

"I'm not sure, maybe Mike is right, we don't think..." Chica said quietly.

"Guys, don't listen to what he said, he was just... letting his anger out..." Flame told the group.

"Yeah! He'll probably calm down and come back to us!" Swift exclaimed.

"And if he doesn't?" Bonnie asked.

"Well then... I don't know what to do..." Flame said grimly.

"I can't handle all of this emotion right now..." Flame thought in his head.

[Main Hallway]

Mech was watching as the dark animatronics were all preparing to attack. He heard the conversation that they all just had.

"It looks like they are at their weakest right now..." Mech told the other dark animatronics.

"Ha! It seems that this will be an easy fight!" Dark T. Chica said to Mech.

"We will make sure that they can't ever recover from this low!" Dark T. Freddy replied to them both.

"They will know the true might of a dark animatronic!" Dark Bonnie shouted as he was watching the other dark animatronics getting ready to fight.

"Oh... I always wanted to see how my light counterpart would fight like!" Dark Mangle told them, as she was sharpening her teeth.

Mech watched as the toy animatronics and the old animatronics parted away from each other. He saw Foxy look back at Flame and Swift, who were alone in the middle of the main party room. Mech smiled as he saw that Swift was still alive. "Oh thank god... don't worry Swift, I have a plan..." Mech thought as he looked back at the dark animatronics.

"It's time to strike!" Mech shouted. All of the dark animatronics began charging towards the other group of animatronics...
