A/N: This chapter isn't the beginning of night 5, but a chapter where everything is revealed, and what Sherman plans to do about it, as well as an unlikely accomplice wanting to help him end the terror of Freddy Fazbear's Pizza. Let's dive into the answers now, shall we? Enjoy!
When Sherman got home, he took a hot shower. But while standing there as the water soaked his hair and skin, Sherman began remembering something, something Freddy said to him before he was about to be stuffed into a suit.
"We were innocent kids like you once. But then it happened. We lost our lives to that dreaded man with that security badge. He killed us! We've swore revenge ever since"
Those words made Sherman wonder about several things. What happened to those five missing kids? Were the bodies ever found? Was the murderer caught and faced justice? Sherman then just got out of the shower, putting on a pair of black sweatpants that were meant for lounging around at home, and a long sleeve pajama shirt with a dark blue milky-way galaxy design on the front of the shirt. Sherman also had the towel he used to dry himself off hanging from his neck due to the fact he was drying his hair off and then just left it on his neck to gently nuzzle his neck.
"I need to dig deeper than I thought. There has to be an explanation for what Freddy told me" Sherman said as he opened his laptop, and went onto a Google Search tab.
"Alright, fingers crossed I find out what happens here" Sherman said as he typed in 'Freddy Fazbear's Pizza Murders' and clicked 'Search'. Sherman was then taken to yet another news blog which showed several interviews about the killings.
'One birthday party attendee noticed five kids, quite possibly from a separate birthday party being lead to the back by a yellow version of Bonnie the Bunny' the first interview read. So that meant the killer had been using a Spring-Lock suit of Golden Bonnie.
'According to the security cameras, the killer was identified as 34-year-old Vincent Malcolm. Unfortunately after Vincent had comitted the gruesome deed, all the cameras went totally black and his whereabouts remain unknown to this day' another interview read.
"So he was never caught. He must have been hiding inside that Spring-Lock suit in the back to make it look like it had been empty" Sherman said to himself. Everything had started beginning to make sense now. But what about the dead body inside Freddy that Sherman had seen in the back room? Does that mean the bodies were never found either? Sherman then scrolled down and read another news clipping.
'Three months after the Vincent Malcolm murders. Freddy Fazbear's Pizza is in deep troubles with the health department. A father, who took his daughter to the restaurant to celebrate her recent victory in her soccer team noticed a foul odor coming from the animatronics as well as seeing mucus leaking from their eyes, mouths, and under their arms as well' the article read.
"Oh God! That arm belonged to one of the five murdered kids" Sherman said to himself, starting to get more disturbed by this by the minute, he felt like he could puke at any moment.
'Due to the mysterious odor emitting from Freddy and all his friends, the family Pizzeria closes down due to health reasons and is not due to open back up until the management raises enough money to clean the premises top to bottom' Sherman read to himself, it explained why there were no security guard uniforms, they had to be sold to help reopen the place. Before Sherman read anything else, he took out his phone and dialed Penny's phone number.
"C'mon, please pick up, Penny" Sherman said tapping his foot and clutching his leg tightly.
"Hello?" Penny's voice said on the other line.
"Penny, hi. It's Sherman" the redhead replied in relief.
"Oh, hey Sherman. What's up?" asked Penny.
"You know that place I was working at? Freddy Fazbear's? I think you'd better come over here, I'll explain it from there" Sherman said.
"Okay, I'll be there soon" Penny said. They exchanged goodbyes and hung up.
After thirty minutes, Penny arrived at the penthouse and went into Sherman's room.
"Hey cutie" Sherman said hugging Penny and kissing her cheek.
"Hey. So what was it you wanted to tell me?" asked Penny. Sherman directed Penny over to the computer and had her read all the articles.
"Oh my God. I think I might puke at this" Penny said in disgust. Sherman then sat down next to her and explained everything that happened to him on his fourth night.
"Well, you're okay now, that's what matters. But what about this?" Penny asked pointing to the computer.
"I'm not sure, but I'm assuming that the kids are angry. They possessed the animatronics they were stuffed in and wanted to get even with this 'Vincent' guy who killed them" Sherman explained.
"Wow, looks like you actually learned something from watching all those scary movies with Hayden, huh?" Penny asked.
"Yeah, but that's not the point. The point is, the guy is still in the restaurant and wants to kill me. Or even better, let the robots do the dirty work for him" Sherman said. Penny then got a stern look and then stood up.
"Alright, it's settled" Penny said. Sherman then looked up.
"What's settled?" Sherman asked.
"I'm going to work with you tonight. We're gonna end this once and for all" Penny said.
"You, of all people, wanna go with me to the Hell on Earth I work at?" Sherman asked. Penny only nodded.
"Okay. Then I think I know what to do. We remove the bodies from the suits, and then if we kill Vincent in front of them then they'll be at peace" Sherman theorized.
"Then that's what we're gonna do. I'll need a cover-up to tell my mom so she doesn't know what I'm really doing. Who knows what she'll say? She probably won't believe I'm going murderer hunting with my boyfriend in a scary Chuck E. Cheese's" Penny said dialing her phone and going into the other room. She told her mom she was having a sleepover at a friend's house, and she got her friend, Amy to help keep her cover story believable in case Patty or Paul had called.
"Alright. She bought it, and I got someone to help keep my cover story believable" Penny explained. Sherman then went over to ask Mr. Peabody if Sherman could stay the night and he said she could. Now all they had to do was wait until it was time to go to work.
11:00 PM
Sherman had woken up from the alarm he had set to have them wake up a little bit earlier than usual. Since this was his last night, he'd pretty much be willing to spend it hunting a murderer and putting the souls of innocent children to rest in peace. Sherman woke up and tip-toed quietly to the kitchen without waking Penny up.
"Alright, I just gotta get a few knives and then I'll wake Penny up so we can get to the Pizzeria" Sherman whispered to himself. Sherman did his best not to make any noise to wake up Mr. Peabody, who was asleep on the couch watching 'Last Week Tonight with John Oliver'. Sherman made his way to the cutlery in the kitchen and took two large knives off it and then went back into his room quietly.
"Penny, wake up. It's time" Sherman whispered into Penny's ear, when he got close to the bed. The blonde woke up and looked to Sherman with a nod. She got dressed along with Sherman.
"Here, you're gonna need it" Sherman said handing her a knife. Penny took it and slid the blade under her belt to make it stay close to her at all costs before putting on a purple tank top and wearing a light green hooded jacket over it.
"Are you sure you wanna do this? There's a fifty fifty chance you might die tonight" Sherman asked.
"Sherman, if there's one thing I've learned after making sure Grunion got what she deserved and riding in the WABAC together, it's that I'll follow you anywhere. Even to the end of the universe" Penny said. Sherman then gave her a long passionate kiss on the lips and then the two broke apart so Sherman could dress into a pair of red skinny jeans, a light gray long-sleeved shirt with a Pikachu on the front, as well as putting on his security belt.
"Ready?" asked Sherman as he put the knife under his belt strap.
"Ready" Penny nodded. They both then tip toed down to the elevator and went down, being careful not to wake up Peabody from his nap in front of the TV.
"I called a cab the minute I woke up. He said he'd be here in about twelve minutes" Sherman said. Once the two teens made their way to the lobby, they saw the cab parked by the sidewalk.
"Let's go catch a murderer" Sherman said before opening the door for Penny and then getting in last in the cab. The two then made their way to Sherman's last night at 'Freddy Fazbear's Pizza'.
A/N: And so begins... Night Five! And yes, the appearance of Spring-Trap, A.K.A. The Purple Man. But it's a good thing Sherman's got Penny for back-up. Night five to begin in the next update. Please review, thanks!
