Five Nights at Freddy's: Dark Rising

Ch. 32: Power Cores

The time on the clock said that it was about 8:45 PM. The toy animatronics were finishing off their last birthday party. Toy Freddy and Toy Bonnie were performing on the stage as usual. Toy Chica was handing out cake to the children. She seemed to be weak when the last few of children came to get cake. The last child was a bit concerned, he was older than the rest of the children.

"Hey, is there something wrong with you?" He asked with a concerned voice. Toy Chica didn't respond right away.

"Oh, it-it's nothing," She told him. Toy Freddy finished playing the song, and walked over to her.

"Hey, check your power core, quickly," He said. Toy Chica nodded and opened up her chest. The power core was failing already.

"Oh no, what will we do? We don't have an extra power core..." Toy Freddy said.

"I-I think that I can la-last through the rest of the party," Toy Chica said weakly. She handed over the cake to the last kid. He turned around and went over to his younger friends. Toy Bonnie went over to Toy Bonnie as well.

"You should really just stop moving for now Toy Chica, it should save you some time," Toy Bonnie told her. Toy Chica slowly nodded her head and sat down in a chair for the rest of the party.

[Parking Lot]

Mike drove up to the pizzeria. He saw that there was a few kid leaving with their parents. He grinned and began heading towards the building. Mike looked over to the door of the New Security Office. It suspiciously moved closed. "Something feels odd around here..." Mike thought as he went over to the pizzeria doors. Mike was then hit from behind on the head. He fell to the floor, and turned his head up to see Dark Chica and Dark Mangle.

"You have some information that we want sealed, say your last words Mike," Dark Chica said as she put a knife at Mike's throat.

"Yeah, just one thing. You didn't think that he would suspect something, now did you?" Mike said to them. Dark Chica was confused when she heard this. Suddenly a purple hand covered her mouth, and pulled her away from Mike.

"You're really funny, I thought that you would've tried to kill Mike when he found out about the power cores," Purple Freddy said as he threw her into Mike's parked truck. The alarms went off when she hit it, and Mike turned them off.

"Seriously? 2 of my trucks gone now?" Mike said in frustration. He then held a pistol at Dark Mangle's power core.

"Give us some of Vincent's smoke, now!" Mike commanded her. She snarled and spit at Mike's feet.

"I'm warning you, if you don't give us some, then I'll shoot your power core," Mike told her.

Dark Mangle sighed, "Fine, you win." Purple Freddy took out a trash bag. Dark Mangle then blew into the back, filling it up with the black smoke. Purple Freddy sealed it up quickly so that none of it will escape.

"Thank you for your services," Purple Freddy said as Mike and him went into the pizzeria.

[New Show Stage]

Mike and Purple Freddy walked into Mr. Fazbear talking to the other animatronics. He turned around and smiled when he saw Mike. He frowned when he saw Purple Freddy.

"Why is he helping you? Didn't I say to keep him a secret?" Mr. Fazbear said sternly.

"It's not our faults, he just came out," Freddy told him. Mr. Fazbear sighed, and stood over Toy Chica. She was nearly out of power.

"I wish we can do something, but those good power cores won't arrive until tomorrow," He told her.

Bonnie put his hand on Mr. Fazbear's shoulders, "Wait, I thought that it will take a couple of weeks for a new power core."

Mr. Fazbear looked down and told him, "I know, but I got the most expensive delivery in hopes that Toy Chica can handle a day, I guess that she couldn't though."

Mike got Mr. Fazbear's attention, "Mr. Fazbear, what about those one that Austin and Ryan got from Home Depot?"

Mr. Fazbear then slightly smiled, "That may work, but it's not meant for an animatronic like you guys."

He then went over to his office. He came back out with a 4 power cores.

"They are only about a fourth of the size of one of your guys power core, but it should still work." He connected the 4 power cores together. He then opened up Toy Chica's chest and took out her damaged power core. Mr. Fazbear then placed the connected power cores into its slot. It sparked a bit when it went into place.

"Is it supposed to do that?" Toy Bonnie asked him.

"No, it's probably having difficulty trying to power her," Mr. Fazbear told her, "Don't worry though, that power core should last until the other one arrives tomorrow."

Mr. Fazbear had to go, and he said farewell. He left the building, and that's when they noticed the bag that Purple Freddy was holding.

"What is that?" Freddy asked as he held his hand to Purple Freddy.

"Oh, you'll see Freddy," Purple Freddy told him.

"Hey Mech, why don't you come over here?" Mike said. Mech walked over to them, watching carefully at the bag.

"What is it?" He asked Mike.

"Oh just take a look," Purple Freddy said as he unsealed the bag. A large puff of black smoke came out, and Mech quickly captured it in his own bag.

"How did you get this?" Mech asked them.

"Those dark animatronics attacked Mike, I helped him and we got one of them to give us some smoke," Purple Freddy explained.

Mech grinned when he heard this. He then took the smoke, and fused it into his suit.

"What are you doing?" Toy Bonnie asked him.

"Watch," Mech said as he raised his hand slowly up into the air. Three dark objects were forming out of the floor. Toy Freddy took Toy Bonnie's hand and pulled her back a bit. The figures then formed into three animatronics.

"Welcome back you guys," Mech said as they got up. They were the dark versions of the toy animatronics.

"Hey, good to be back I guess," Dark T. Freddy said as he looked at the others, "We're going for Vincent now, aren't we?"

Mech looked over at Freddy. Freddy nodded and grinned.

"Ok everybody, let's bring down Vincent once and for all! Classic style..." He shouted.

"Classic style? What do you mean by that?" Mike asked.

"Oh, you'll see soon enough Mike, you'll see," Freddy said as they all went into their positions.

[New Security Office]

Vincent had Dark Chica and Dark Mangle in the room. They told them about what happened earlier.

"What! We lost 2 dark animatronics, and now this!" Vincent shouted as he brought out his crossbow.

"We couldn't do anything about it Vincent..." Dark Chica said.

"Worthless dark animatronics, I have no choice now..." Vincent said coldly. He shot the crossbow, and it penetrated through Dark Chica's power core. Dark Mangle looked back at Vincent in anger.

"Why!? You kill us whenever stuff doesn't go your way! We I'm sick of it," Dark Mangle said as she jumped at Vincent. Vincent just had some smoke grab her in midair, and he began reloading his crossbow.

"No, please don't..." Dark Mangle pleaded.

"Oh it's too late, you shouldn't of done that!" Vincent shouted. He shot the crossbow right into Dark Mangle's power core. He then dropped her body where Dark Chica's was.

Vincent brought up the monitor. He was shocked at what he saw. "Oh no... not this..."Vincent thought as he heard a noise coming from the hallway...
