Are there any answers?

Shard Opal was a human with standards. And these standards did not include going into a pizzeria with murderous and possibly possessed animatronics. But he knew this was the only way to get any answers to what was happening. So he did so. The doors chimed as he walked in, and made a beeline for Pirate Cove, where his first informant was...

~Later~

A red-haired pirate-looking teen was thrown into a wall for what he guessed was the eighteenth time. The cause was a very annoyed Shard Opal.

"Now, I'll ask you once more- why are your souls possessing these animatronics?" Shard cracked his knuckles as his right eye blazed green. "And I will turn up the heat if I don't like my answer, Foxy." Foxy gave him a glare.

"And as I already told you...I. Don't. Know. All I can remember is that purple-wearing night guard stabbing me and a few others, then I was like this." The voice sounded like that of a rough teenage boy. Shard sighed, and deactivated his magic. "Now, before you go and bug the others, they don't know either. The only one who would probably know is Goldie, and we have no idea where he is, or when he will ever show up." Shard gave the teen a puzzled look.

"And why would Golden Freddy know?" Foxy shrugged.

"Beats the hell out of me. He's always been an enigma. I mean, he knows about the power your friend Sans has, along with the amount of power you keep behind the flood gates. But I don't know how." The very last part Foxy had to rush out to appease a freshly-pissed Shard. Said teen scowled, and walked over to the curtain.
"Well... Then I'll look for him. Thanks for that helpful tidbit of info." When Shard looked back, Foxy was his normal animatronic self again. He waved goodbye to Shard, who walked near the security office, and down another hallway not on any maps. He continued down in until he reached the room holding Fazbear's historical animatronics. Among the discarded ones was a golden bear. Shard's eye flashed green, and the bear rose, then fell back down. "Damn. He must be sleeping." He sighed, and walked away. He then heard the curtain on the main stage close, and decided to talk to Freddy. He went to walk over to the stage, but felt something pull on his right arm. He looked down, and a string was attached to it. He jumped slightly, and activated his magic, his right eye flashing green. He summoned a green gem to cut the strong, and jumped back when he did. Five more strings shot out at him, but he summoned three Railguns and fired them. The strings were burned up, and Shard felt a presence in the room. He used his magic eye to search for it, but found nothing. The presence started to fade, and Shard's eye returned to normal. He took another glance around the room, and walked out, to be greeted by Freddy Fazbear.

"Why are you here, Shard?" The bear's monotone voice had a tone of seriousness to it. Shard grinned.

"Well, trying to figure out some stuff. Namely why your souls are in those robots." Freddy glared. Shard just shook his head and smiled. "Oh what, don't want me to figure out your secrets?" The tone of Shard's voice was mocking, and Freddy clenched a fist. He threw a punch at Shard, who ducked and jumped to his right. Freddy turned to him, his eyes black with white pinpricks for irises. Shard sighed, and put his hands in the pockets of his jacket. "Well, no use asking around here. I know the four main animatronics here don't have the answers I need, and Golden Freddy's decided to take a nap, probably to avoid me. So, I'm gonna head out." Shard's smile fell, and he looked at Freddy. "Listen... Two of my friends are the night guards for the week, and I know that you are the only spirit who can control yourself at night. So, can you leave them alone for the week? And not kill them?" Freddy looked at the teen, and gave a robotic sigh.

"Fine. I can do that." Freddy gave Shard a warning look. "But tell them to watch out tonight. Just because I'm not going after them doesn't mean that someone else won't. I've had a feeling in my systems that something is awakening in the room behind you." Shard turned to the storage room, and grimaced.

"Yeah, I know. I think I met it when I went in there." He scratched the back of his head, and smiled sheepishly. "It didn't really give me a warm welcome." His smile fell, along with his hand.

"Not surprised." Freddy walked away, stopping next to Shard and putting his hand on his shoulder. "Watch out. I know you're history, same for you with mine... somewhat. So be careful. I know that you're powerful, but there is an upcoming fight that you'll need more than power to win. Be careful, Opal." Shard grinned, his right eye giving off a faint green glow.

"You too, Freddy. You too..." And with that, Freddy walked off through a secret entrance to backstage, and Shard walked off to the main area. He looked around once more, observing the monster and human children playing without a care in the world, and smiled. He then walked off, deciding to pay a visit to Sans and Frisk...

~Toriel's house~

Sans was currently sleeping on the couch, much to Papyrus's annoyance. The taller of the brothers was just about to throw the shorter brother out the window, but the doorbell rang. Sans's eyes opened as Papyrus turned around, and he grinned as he sat up.

"don't worry, i'll get it." Papyrus jumped, and turned around quickly.

"SANS! SO YOU FINALLY AWAKEN FROM YOUR NAP!" Papyrus gave a questioning look to his brother. "I STILL DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW YOU CAN SLEEP ALL DAY..." Sans grinned.

"hey, don't knock it 'till you try it." Papyrus shouted at the pun as Sans walked over to the door. When he opened it, he was greeted by a laughing Shard. "hey, kid. watchya doing?" Shard managed to control himself enough to reply.

"Laughing at the never ending antics that occur in this house." He wiped his eyes, which were tearing up from laughing, and calmed. "Anyways, is Frisk home?" As if on cue, the teen ran through the door and captured Shard in a bear hug.

"Shard! It's been forever!" He smiled, and pat Frisk's head.

"Hey, Frisk. How've you been?" She smiled as she put him down.

"Fine. But my new job has been a bit stressful." Shard's face fell at the mention of her job.

"Yeah. That's what I stopped by to talk about... I went there today, and want to pass on a warning from a... friend of mine." Sans gave him a suspicious look, while
Frisk looked confused.

"What is it?" Shard sighed.

"Be careful tonight. Something's awakening there, and it's dangerous. And please SAVE before you start." Shard spoke before Frisk could protest. "I know you hate SAVING, but if you die and don't have a SAVE point... Well... You can piece that together." She gave the teen a look. "And you can erase the file when you're done. Just keep it for the night, okay?" Frisk nodded reluctantly. Shard gave a sigh of relief. Sans, having given the two their moment, decided to interrupt.

"uh, me and frisk should probably be heading off to work." Shard looked at him, and nodded.

"Yeah. Well, I have to go as well. I have to get up at 4 in the morning, and I really want to get some sleep." He started walking away. "Later guys!" Once he was gone, Frisk turned to Sans.

"Well, that was fun." She was somber, probably because of the warning Shard had given her and Sans. Sans nodded.

"well, like i said, we should be off." He grabbed Frisk's wrist. "come on, i know a shortcut." And with that, the two vanished, Frisk's vision becoming black.
