First, let me greet the new readers, unfamiliar with my previous work: Welcome to Game Over, a fanfic which is the spiritual successor of Five Nights at Freddy's: Our Little Horror Story, but this one goes a bit further into the horror territory. If you haven't read Five Nights at Freddy's: Our Little Horror Story (or my other work, Survive The Night) don't worry, coz this fanfic has nothing to do with either of them. It's a stand-alone fanfic with different character and a different plot. So, for those who don't want to read my previous works, you don't have to. However, I suggest you to read them as I'll probably drop references to Our Little Horror Story (from now on called OLHS) so beware of SPOILERS!

For the old readers, you probably were surprised with the new title and the song it's based on. As per tradition, I sought a song which would fit this fic's dark theme and I found Game Over by MiaRissyTV. This fic will be somewhat similar to OLHS but instead of Skylar, the new character is a teen called Kyra Ravenhearst (you pronounce the name as Kira though, like in Akira). :P I'll make sure all Animatronics will make an appearance, especially the Nightmares and some other characters from the games. Different than OLHS, this fic isn't linear with the games, so you can expect the game characters or game functions pop out at any time given. Also, I'm again using lyrics of various FNAF songs for the intro, but also as a way of communication, ie, leaving messages. You'll see why. Also, the title of the chapters are also added into the chapter.

What the characters concerns, this has Kyra introducing herself. She's the new main OC and as said, the other Animatronics (if possible, ALL of them) will appear, but one stands out:

Springtrap by Madame Macabre (LOL, that's the intro lyrics, but yes, Springtrap's a main character here). ;P

The plot is much darker and will probably lack the funny chapters OLHS had. Also, prepare for mood whiplashes, because the Animatronics ain't anymore as cheerful and protective as in my previous fics. This time, the danger is real. Also, if some chapters are confusing, they should be. They're either Flashbacks or Dreams. Or the Real life. It depends.

I decided to explore the FNaF story more, as OLHS was more about the game mechanics and the characters and their development than the story. Again, don't send me OC Animatronics or OC characters.

This story takes place after FNaF 3.

Enjoy!

Night 0: Just a Legend?

There is a place that long ago, rumor has harbored crime

Many who went there never left, but stories change with time

Sealed it away they just hid their error, locked all the slain from sight

Spring loaded traps that unleash their terror, how did he last five nights?

xXxXx

Imagine a pizzeria. Nothing special, huh?

Okay, now imagine a pizzeria with Animatronics, a lá Chuck E. Cheese. Okay, it's more interesting now, but still nothing special.

Now, imagine this particular pizzeria holds a dark secret, a legend of which everyone's aware, but only a few know the truth. Are you now curious? Are you itching to know this dark secret?

I'm sure you are – I can feel the chills crawling down your spine, the impatient curiosity just moments away from exploding, the wish to know more. Curiosity, my friend, is what bonds us.

I'm Kyra Ravenhearst, an 18 year old high-schooler and my hobby is investigating urban legends. Bloody Mary, Slenderman, The Ouija Board, Urban Mythos, such stuff. I love anything which is mysterious and out of ordinary. Probably because I'm out of ordinary as well.

I'm a Messenger - as my grandma puts it, a Messenger is a person who receives messages from the spirit realm and relays them into the human realm. Yeah, thanks to my great great grandma who was a medium (my sister says she was probably fake, but I don't buy that), this became a family tradition (for some reason, only females are Messengers - that includes me, my older sister, my grandma and included my mother). But I digress.

My ability connects me with the supernatural world. Apparently, after dying in a car accident (don't worry, I got revived, I'm not a ghost!), it got intensified in the form of visions and strange dreams, and sometimes, when I touch things, I have this strange flashbacks. It's as if I'm living through the memories of the stuff I touched. As if I was there, but from a third person perspective.

Now, why am I telling you that stuff and what the hell does a pizzeria have to do with my supernatural abilities?

Well, this pizzeria is quite special. I'm pretty sure you heard of it. If not, then you won't have any idea what I'm talking about. On the other hand, you'll probably dismiss it as a joke or something.

Ever heard of Freddy Fazbear's Pizza?

I see your head jerking, feel your heart racing. So you heard about it. Although it's been years, the legend still lives. The infamous pizzeria still haunts the mind of people.

You probably haven't been there, right? Depends on how old you are. The pizzeria closed years ago and nobody really bothered with it. They say it closed due parents being concerned about the unsanitary conditions.

Now you're wondering: why are you bringing this case up?

Because, the case ain't closed. Yet.

I re-opened it. It's not the end.

(Well, was forced to).

I have already told you I love to investigate urban legends. This one in particular. It has so many unsolved mysteries which have caught my attention (thanks to some help from above) and I'm just holding my promise. You may or may not know about them, because the company who ran the place tried to cover them up. If you don't know them, okay...

If you know them, the first thing you might remember is how there were were rumors about the Animatronics roaming during the night and trying to kill the Night Guard by stuffing him into a suit.

...

Ouch.

This is common knowledge based on rumors, which might be true but also a lie. Nobody caught them on doing that and the company never spoke about it. The staff members dismiss it as a rumor and the Night Guard...

Well, what Night Guard?

The one who lies dead inside the costume? Or the one who survived but spent his entire life in a hospital on therapy due PTSD? Funnily, the company warned them about possible death and serious injuries. But they took the job. Some quit, and some disappeared... The usual duration of a worker was about 5 nights.

That's why they call it Five Nights at Freddy's. More like five nights at Hell. Hahah...

...

I said this is just a cover story, but for what? Oh, there were a lot of things. Ever heard of The Missing Children Incident?

Bet you didn't. Only a few people know about it. The families, the staff members and the responsible authorities. And the one or other Freddy's fan who dug a bit in the library for old newspaper clippings.

Apparently, 5 children got killed at the pizzeria. Their murderer had never been found, their bodies never recovered and the case never solved.

If you dig deeper, you might come across a brief note about a certain event: The Bite of '87.

You probably have no idea what I'm talking about. Only a small number of people know about it and even a smaller number of people know what exactly happened.

This enthusiastic researcher has very little info, but she knows that what happened led to the Animatronics being stripped of their liberty to walk around and interact.

And the victim? Some say he survived. Some say he died and his death was covered. Who knows...

For decades, the pizzeria was closed. Some old fans re-opened it, creating Fazbear's Fright, a horror attraction at the local amusement park. Only a week later, the whole thing burned down, before it could be opened.

People started rumors. That this is the Fazbear Curse and that the place should remain closed and never opened again. A week later, there was an auction, but nobody really wanted to buy the cursed remains. Well, except for some company whose name I'm not bothering to remember. The salvaged stuff which survived the fire was then shipped to the last remaining Freddy's pizzeria. The other locations were torn down and used for new buildings. (That's what the rumors say).

This location lies in my town and it has been closed for years, rotting. It's now a storage for all the props, suits and technology used for the Animatronics. The new owner is reluctant to throw the stuff away. I support his idea to keep everything.

My wish is to investigate everything. I want to know what exactly happened and why it did. I think there's more than just faulty programming.

And what about you? You seem to be reluctant, maybe even a bit afraid of it's dark history. Maybe afraid of being stuffed into a suit? Or maybe you fear the killer will return and kill you as well?

There's no guarantee I'm gonna survive this, but I'm still willing to go and investigate.

Perhaps, the robots ain't just robots.

Perhaps, they're alive...
