Chapter 16

The Poster of Golden Freddy

The proof that Misaki had been searching for had finally come to light. Standing in front of her was the Black Reaper, BK-201...Li Shengshun. The man she fell for by his charming smile, innocent aura and his child-like mind when it came to certain things. How could someone like Li be the mystery known as the Black Reaper? That didn't make any sense. All the times when she was with Li...She was with the Black Reaper. Letting her guard down and leaving herself completely vulnerable in front of the Black Reaper...How could she be so stupid? The Black Reaper could have easily killed her countless times, but yet she was still breathing now. Realisation shone in her eyes from a conversation very early in the morning. BK-201 had thought that this was all a game, a simple game of tag or chase. He came to their aid during the nights to re-charge them so that the animatronics didn't get them, even when Mike was on his own; he helped him through the night. Why would a contractor help Mike? He didn't have any reason to help Mike apart from the fact that she was friends with him. That couldn't have been the reason as to why BK-201 spared Mike. So many thoughts swam through Misaki's mind as she watched the Black Reaper standing motionlessly, staring directly at her.

"Why...?" Misaki asked.

"I just follow orders," BK-201 told her in the cold contractor voice she had heard so many times. Everything that was Li had faded away like it didn't exist in the first place. The warm aura he had...the innocent smile...all that was gone now.

"Why!" Misaki demanded from him.

"Why?" He questioned her back. Misaki felt the tears running down her face. She was so heartbroken and betrayed. Mike wasn't sure what was going on and the only animatronic left...was Golden Freddy.

"Why did you play me like this?" She screamed at BK-201.

"Elaborate?"

"Why did you pretend to be someone you're not?"

"If you don't like something, change it. If you can't change it, change your attitude...Maya Angelou."

"What the heck does that mean?"

"I don't mean to interrupt this...but what is going on?" Mike asked. He had watched how Misaki completely broke down into floods of tears while the masked man had just stood there...Emotionless...Cold. From what Mike could tell...he was like a soldier.

"Police girl can't figure out what he means? Some police member..." Golden Freddy growled at the group. "The manager approaches and he'll see the damage done by MY endoskeleton," with that, Golden Freddy faded away as the sound of the front door unlocking.

"Get fired...you'll be free then," BK-201 said before he fled the room, vanishing up into the ceiling like he had done for the last 7 nights. Misaki furiously wiped her tears away from her eyes and Mike placed a comforting hand on her shoulder.

Misaki was stuck waiting outside as the manager was talking to Mike. She already knew what was probably happening, and it was all because of Li...He had tampered with the animatronics and turned them worse than before. It wasn't Mike's fault; he probably didn't even have the knowledge to change anything in their systems. It just wasn't in Mike's knowledge. If he did know how to do it, he would have done so on an earlier night. The guy on the phone said that they naturally became aggressive as the nights continued but the way they were changed today...tampering was probably the reason that Mike was going to get fired. Misaki soon picked up the sound of heavy footsteps and looked up. She saw Freddy walking towards her with a straight face. She knew that Freddy wasn't coming to kill her; it was past the night shift so Freddy and Co weren't set out to hunt and stuff them into suits.

"Police girl...can we talk?" Freddy asked.

"Why?" Misaki asked.

"About the man you're after."

"What about him?"

"He and Golden Freddy might be wo-"

"They aren't working together. BK-201 only works with his team."

"Then Golden Freddy is determined to harness the ability of your prisoner. If he does so, then you won't be able to get the criminal back to put behind bars."

"What...do I need to do?" Misaki questioned the bear.

"You'll need to follow Golden Freddy...Stop him from taking the endoskeleton back into his poster."

"The poster?"

"The poster is a gateway to the different time periods which Golden Freddy is connected to...this is also related to a animatronic named Fredbear...there's a correlation between the two suits and characters. Many souls have believed them to be the same suit...but Golden Freddy is assumed to be a darker version of Fredbear."

"Fredbear...?" Freddy nodded. "Why would this relate to this...Fredbear character?"

"There was another suit made like Golden Freddy's suit. They're spring-lock suits but the spring mechanism is very...fragile and easily sprung while a member of staff was inside the suit, resulting in multiple deaths. If you could help us, we'll help you."

"BK-201 said that he wanted Mike to get fired...meaning he wanted Mike to get away from you."

"There's good in everyone, it depends on the actions which are made." And with that, Freddy turned to leave Misaki alone and to return back to his position on stage. Misaki was left to think about what Freddy had said. Golden Freddy wanted BK-201 as an endoskeleton because he didn't have one, or something along those lines but when he said that he wanted Mike to get fired...it would get Mike away from here and back to safety. She needed to find where BK-201 had escaped to and then bring him in for a personal questioning. His choice was something that she wasn't expecting from a contractor such as himself.

Mike had finally left the manager's office, he was clearly fired as he held onto a pink slip with big, black letters saying Notice of Termination (you're fired) and the reason was for tampering with the animatronics. General unprofessionalism and odour, what caused the other two complaints, Mike didn't understand but the tampering...he was sure that was from the contractor's doing. This was one of those times when he was glad that the contractor dude was here. He tampered with the animatronics and got him fired. It was a bummer that he wasn't going to get any more money until he either returned to a job centre or found a job very quickly to help get his hours done.

"So what happened?" Misaki asked Mike.

"I'm fired; your contractor person actually set me free from here."

"You go on home; I've got a contractor to find..."

"No, I'm going to help you find him and catch him."

"Mike, you don't have any training on how to handle a contractor...BK-201's the worst contractor out there too..."

"This place is huge, you won't find him so easily, and children are also coming to celebrate parties."

"Okay, you're right." The two nodded and they both split to try and find where BK-201 had gone.

It wasn't long before Misaki found BK-201 standing in front of the Freddy Fazbear poster in the east hallway. Misaki drew out her gun and aimed it at his head. He didn't even turn around while she pointed the gun at him. She already knew that he could sense her standing behind her but he didn't move. She needed to ask him the questions, maybe interrogated him here? It wasn't impossible to interrogate someone standing up...it was probably going to be easier to do it now that he's not aggressive...right?

"Why are you still here?" BK-201 asked.

"I'm not leaving until you come back to the police station." Misaki told him sternly. She wasn't going to come back empty handed. Not this time!

"I can't. I made a promise."

"A promise...?" She lowered her gun very slightly. "What?"

"I made a promise that I'll set them free. Freddy and his friends...Golden Freddy too..."

"Why? That bear wants to keep you in its suit."

"I know."

"Why don't you come and join him~" They both turned around to see Golden Freddy standing behind the two of them. The poster quickly changed from Freddy Fazbear into an empty void where Golden Freddy came out from. The golden bear gave out the children's giggle before he clapped his paws together with a sick smile on his face. Misaki felt herself being pulled by BK-201 so that she wasn't so close to the bear. He knew the threat level while Misaki hadn't felt it yet.

"What?" The bear quickly advanced on the two of them and harshly grabbed BK-201 and pushed him towards the poster, Misaki quickly got out from behind BK-201 and stood back to watch as Golden Freddy forcefully pushed BK-201 into the poster, BK-201 struggled back just as violently as Golden Freddy was pushing him. The big difference was that Golden Freddy had a lot more strength than BK-201, despite all his struggling; Golden Freddy forced BK-201 through the poster. With a smile, he turned to face Misaki.

"Your turn now," and with that, Golden Freddy advanced on Misaki.

Mike couldn't find anything that linked back to the criminal that Misaki was chasing down. All he did find where shattered pieces of the mask that he wore stuck in the fur of Freddy. How that got there he didn't have a clue, the best he could have done was to see if Freddy knew anything. The animatronics were friendly during the day so his best chance was going to be now. He waved the slip of termination in front of Freddy's eyes and smiled.

"You lose," Mike smiled as Freddy blinked.

"You'll be back, you endoskeletons always do." Freddy told Mike.

"Watching you is the job of the Night Guard, now onto more important matters. Do you know where the masked man went to?" Mike asked.

"Golden Freddy...hopefully now that the week has passed, he won't turn up again."

"What is...Golden Freddy?"

"Golden Freddy is the worst one out of all of us," Bonnie spoke as he grew tired of only Freddy getting attention. Mike jumped at Bonnie moving. Chica moved shortly after too. "Golden Freddy is Freddy's...fake brother."

"Fake brother?"

"Yup, a suit without an endoskeleton..."

"Now with you fired, the building is going to go down and we're going to be scrapped." Freddy sighed.

"You do deserve it..."

"Don't you know how irritating it is to play the same stupid songs over and over again?" Freddy growled at Mike. "So we move around during the night and catch the staff to send a message that we're tired of playing the same songs. We want to play different songs!"

"Mike!" The manager walked up to Mike.

"Sir?"

"Didn't I tell you to get out and leave?"

"Sir, I just wanted to talk to the animatronics."

"Get going!" The manager yelled at Mike and forcefully started to push Mike outside the building. Freddy and his friends watched as well as Foxy peeked out from Pirate Cove. Mike was roughly pushed out from Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria and forced to return back home. He knew that Misaki was still in there. She could still change things. That was something that Mike was relying on.

"Misaki...You'll do the right thing..." Mike said as he was forced to return home.

Hei wasn't sure how he was supposed to help release the spirits trapped in the suits. The animatronics were going to try and kill him too, if this Golden Freddy was going to be different from the way he is now...then Hei also needed to plan a method on changing the current golden Freddy. Hei knew what was going on around him, simple time travel, similar to how Amber let him "borrow" that power to save Hell's Gate, Contractors and Dolls too. Now he was going to save spirits of children. He looked behind him to see that Misaki was also pushed into the poster. 'Great...' Hei thought to himself. If Misaki was following him then he was going to struggle to do his self appointed mission.

"She's here to help..." Hei heard the voice of the child from Golden Freddy's suit.

"How can I trust her?"

"You can't do this alone, I'm sorry..."

"Don't worry, you'll be free from the suit...then I'll deal with the issues after you're all free." The spirit nodded before Hei looked forward, approaching a white glowing light. Hei could only guess that it was his destination through time. Hei felt Misaki grabbing hold onto his leg and using it to climb up his body. "Do you mind?" Hei demanded from Misaki.

"You've got some explaining to do!" She demanded back from him. Before Hei could say anything, they fell into the white light, ending their travel in time.

Mike: According to the poll, we had more votes for doing all three FNAF games. We're still not sure on how we're going to do FNAF 4 or if we're going to do that at all. We're only considering FNAF 4 now because of FireCacodemon's obsession with Fredbear...Yup...Fredbear won FireCacodemon into planning a possible FNAF 4 cross-over with DtB...Yup...

FireCacodemon: FNAF 2 and FNAF 3 will deferentially be done because that ties in with freeing the spirits as this chapter has ended off starting. So FNAF 2 will explain about the murders and stuff and FNAF 3 will end the whole releasing souls thing and setting them free. Despite what some theories say about us never being able to free them. Only Scott knows.

Golden Freddy: We all would like to thank you all for reading and reviewing on the story. As well as being patient with FireCacodemon and the writing. We hope you've all enjoyed yourselves and we hope to see you in the next story. Title and plot haven't even been started yet.

FireCacodemon: On note with that...I'm not sure when I'll actually plan it but I will write it! Bye!
