UNEXPECTED NIGHTGUARDS AND BUNNY RABBITS
Megatron wasn't really that happy when he woke up and found himself in a strange building.
OR the fact he found himself as an inse-
Human. He reminded himself, irritated.
He may have HATED humans, but he wasn't fully cold-hearted as he pretended to be.
He stood up and gazed around, taking in his surroundings.
He appeared to be in some sort of office... which smelled like... oh, what did the humans call it?
... Pizza? Megatron blinked as he finally recognized the scent.
He gazed around the office a bit more, his red eyes taking in every detail... until...
"Ahh!" Megatron screeched as the sound of the phone ringing caught him off guard "What the-?" He gazed at the black, old styled phone for a moment as his hand shivered to answer it... he gave a sigh and picked it up...
"Hello?" He asked down into the receiver
"Hello, hello? Uh, I wanted to record a message for you to help you get settled in on your first night. Um, I actually worked in that office before you. I'm finishing up my last week now, as a matter of fact. So, I know it can be a bit overwhelming, but I'm here to tell you there's nothing to worry about. Uh, you'll do fine. So, let's just focus on getting you through your first week. Okay?" The voice on the other end was calming yet gave Megatron a wierd feeling, like he sounded rather suspicious or maybe he didn't know what he was talking about.
Megatron sighed as he realised that no one was really on the other end of the phone but that it was in fact a pre-recorded message, but now he seemed interested about what this guy had to say.
"Uh, let's see, first there's an introductory greeting from the company that I'm supposed to read. Uh, it's kind of a legal thing, you know. Um, "Welcome to Freddy Fazbear's Pizza. A magical place for kids and grown-ups alike, where fantasy and fun come to life. Fazbear Entertainment is not responsible for damage to property or person. Upon discovering that damage or death has occurred, a missing person report will be filed within 90 days, or as soon property and premises have been thoroughly cleaned and bleached, and the carpets have been replaced."
His thoughts collected in his mind, this strange place he is in is called Freddy Fazbear's but the warning made him cold. why would they say a thing like that? Has there been a death here or something? The questions piled up...
"Blah blah blah, now that might sound bad, I know, but there's really nothing to worry about. Uh, the animatronic characters here do get a bit quirky at night, but do I blame them? No. If I were forced to sing those same stupid songs for twenty years and I never got a bath? I'd probably be a bit irritable at night too. So, remember, these characters hold a special place in the hearts of children and we need to show them a little respect, right? Okay."
"Nothing to worry about" He scoffed in sarcasm. "Yeah nothing to worry about at all! Hmm... though, I'm now curious about these animatronics..."
"So, just be aware, the characters do tend to wander a bit. Uh, they're left in some kind of free roaming mode at night. Uh...Something about their servos locking up if they get turned off for too long. Uh, they used to be allowed to walk around during the day too. But then there was The Bite of '87. Yeah. I-It's amazing that the human body can live without the frontal lobe, you know?"
"WHAAA!" He cried "No no no no what did you just say??" He felt like his ears deceived him, he froze as the blood ran cold through him... he knew that maybe these things would come alive to get him. He glanced at the left side then to right to see the doors which had switches on them stating "Light" and "close" He pushed down on the close button as the door began to slam making his body flinch. He noticed his power bar decrease so took no time to hesitate bringing back up!
"Uh, now concerning your safety, the only real risk to you as a night watchman here, if any, is the fact that these characters, uh, if they happen to see you after hours probably won't recognize you as a person. They'll p-most likely see you as a metal endoskeleton without its costume on. Now since that's against the rules here at Freddy Fazbear's Pizza, they'll probably try to...forcefully stuff you inside a Freddy Fazbear suit. Um, now, that wouldn't be so bad if the suits themselves weren't filled with crossbeams, wires, and animatronic devices, especially around the facial area. So, you could imagine how having your head forcefully pressed inside one of those could cause a bit of discomfort...and death. Uh, the only parts of you that would likely see the light of day again would be your eyeballs and teeth when they pop out the front of the mask, heh."
"Oh wonderful!! I have no idea where I am, no idea who these characters are but what I do know is the death is so cLOSE!" He yelled in a fit of both surprise and almost certain shock, he glanced down to notice a tablet of some sorts to which he pulled up revealing it to be a camera monitor. He stopped. Pressing on one of the camera buttons, the screen flickered to the main show area to which all three characters appeared on stage. "OH. SWEET. PRIMES."
"Y-Yeah, they don't tell you these things when you sign up. But hey, first day should be a breeze. I'll chat with you tomorrow. Uh, check those cameras, and remember to close the doors only if absolutely necessary. Gotta conserve power. Alright, good night."
"D-don't leave!" He begged down the phone, but it was already too late...
It took a few minutes (and a few deep, shaky breaths), but he finally managed to calm himself down, though he was shaking. He couldn't deal with this.
He checked the time. It was only a few minutes until midnight.
Oh, Primus, will I even survive this?! He thought.
Frantically he kept checking the cameras then to the doors... as the phone guy stated these things would come alive and try to hunt him down. Panic settled in fully when he realised that the power life is draining...
The clock chimed. He looked up to see it was already midnight.
"Oh, sweet Solus Prime." He muttered.
His first night as a nightguard was just beginning. He just needed to make sure he didn't run out of power. As he began to compose himself so he would be calmer, he's a strong leader why is he so afraid of a few robots running around, he began to chuckle kicking his feet up onto the desk.
"I've got this." He chuckled deeply.
That didn't last long.
40 minutes into the shift, there was a sound just outside the office.
"H-huh!?" He jumped suddenly moving to door and pressing the light.
Just outside was Chica - one of the Animatronics that had been on stage.
"OH, SHIT!!!"
Quickly, he pressed the button which closed the door and pressed himself against it, panting. The previous guard hadn't been kidding!
"What in primes name was that giant dUCK!" He cried, he was not so determined to re-open up the door after this.
"I'M A CHICKEN, NOT A DUCK!"
Where had that voice come from? From the sound of it, the speaker was pretty insulted.
"W-Well SORRY!" Megatron called out.
There was a sound from the other side of the office, and a purple animatronic rabbit - Bonnie - poked his head in.
He stared right at Megatron.
"Um... hi..." He said as he made full eye contact with the purple beast standing before him...
He quickly wasted no time in slamming the door again... He really didn't want to die.
It was a few hours later that panic finally seized him as the power went out.
"Oh, Primus..." He whimpered.
The office went in pure darkness, not even the door lights worked anymore. Or the doors in general.
Shaking, Megatron backed up until he was against the wall. Was he going to die?
"This... This can't be the end... already? Can it?" He asked himself.
Just outside the door was a pair of flickering eyes - but the source did not lunge at him. Megatron was bound in shock, paralysed... he couldn't move. But he made full eye contact with the beast outside the door. Time passed, the two just... staring at each other. Finally, the eyes retracted to behind the wall.
A voice spoke.
"You are right, Bonnie - this is not our usual nightguard."
It was short, but the clock chimed. There were footsteps outside, fading until there was nothing.
What time was it?
Megatron looked to his watch which read: 6:00am...
"A-already?" He said as he looked back up to the door but the mysterious beast and his eyes had already gone...
But this was good news; he had passed his first night.
Minutes passed, and he started to think about what the voice said.
"This is not our usual nightguard..." He repeated quietly to himself.
What did it mean?
... He would have to find out tomorrow night.
NIGHT 1 - COMPLETE
