..Chapter 5...

[16 years ago]

Vincent at this time 12 was going to Fazbear's frights with his uncle Jeremy Fitzgerald who raised him after Vincent's parents died in a car crash when he was a baby. The two stop by a small house with "Crossroads" on the mailbox.

Jeremy has a cold sweat after having a PTSD flashback from the eighties. "Alright, kiddo are you sure you want to go to this Fazbear place you know how I feel about anything Fazbear related!"

"I saved up my allowance and you said I can do whatever I wanted with it!" Vincent replies to his uncle. The former is regretting ever saying that to his nephew. "I did say that didn't I?"

Vincent and his uncle knocked on the front door. The door opens and a tiny Scarlet tackles Vincent to the ground in a hug so hard a linebacker would be impressed. The tiny girl managing to knock him five feet away from the door. "Did anyone get the license plate of that truck?" A dazed Vincent says as the younger girl crushed him in a hug.

Scarlet's older brother Ryan walks out with a smirk like he's trying to hold back from laughing his ass off. Jeremy shakes the hand of Ryan and Scarlet's Father, Wei lee a Chinese immigrant and a cop and their mother LT. Alexis Crossroads a former Marine who like her daughter is a dark skinned blonde due to being half black.

Vincent feels like he is being constricted by a giant snake in Scarlet's grip."Scarlet can you let me go you're hugging me too tight!"

Scarlet only hugs tighter as she smiles like crazy. "No deal with it!" Ryan has to try physically removing her from Vincent, holding back laughter. "OK, Scarlet he's suffered enough."

After he managed to get Scarlet off of Vincent, much to her displeasure. "You better get used to having me close when we get married!" She tells him after grabbing him by the caller of his Jimi Hendrix t-shirt.

Everyone burst into hysterical laughter, everyone but Vincent himself. "Not Gonna happen you little gremlin!" Scarlet kisses him on the cheek in defiance of Vincent's Personal Space. "NO MEANS NO!" Ryan is on the ground laughing his ass off, he couldn't hold back anymore.

There annoyed father Wei walks up to his daughter with a spray bottle. "Scarlet down girl!" He then sprays her with a spray bottle of water, making her hiss like a cat. Did you forgot to take your meds again didn't you?"

The mom Alexis Pat's her husband on the backside. "oh don't worry about it She's just thrilled about her little date." She explained in a gruff laid back voice, giving Vincent a grin that screams you poor son of a bitch.

Vincent takes umbrage to that date comment. "Totally not a date! She's more like a package deal with Ryan." Scarlet huffs in annoyance at Vincent's stubborn refusal to be hers. She starts to cling to his arm, sticking her tongue out. "Shows what you know, because it is!" She then gives a thumbs up to her mom, who gives one back.

Jeremy sits back down in the driver's seat of his car, he can already tell this is going to be a long day. "A bit too young to be looking for a boyfriend, don't you think little lady?"

Alexis takes a puff of a cigarette as she walks the kids over to the car. "I wouldn't worry about it we all had a crush on someone at that age. Scarlet just has a LOT of energy." She messes with her children's hair affectionately. "Now you two behave yourselves and have fun!"

Both siblings give their mom a kiss on the cheek, much their embarrassment. "Okay, mom!" Ryan punches Vincent in the shoulder before running into the passenger seat. "SHOTGUN!"

Vincent ribs his arm after the playful punch in the arm. "How are we friends again?"

Vincent, his uncle and the Crossroads siblings load up. Vincent sitting in the back seat staring blankly out the window as Scarlet tries to get him to notice him before giving up and holding his hand. "Thank you for taking me!"

Vincent gives her a cocky grin on his face, then smirking ominously. "I wanted to go anyway to see what uncle Jeremy is so afraid of! Plus it makes for an eventful birthday gift!"

"Oh, it will be eventful trust me!" Uncle Jeremy says while having a flashback of a robot fox lunging at him from across the room. The demonic screams haunted his mind with sweat drops down his face.

Vincent has always had a hard time believing his uncle's old stories. They sound too far fetched to be true sometimes. "I still don't believe the robots are evil like your stories say."

Jeremy takes a deep breath from the stress of this whole affair. "There called Animatronics Stu-ball, and they are evil! I really was a night guard at Freddy's in the '80s! Foxy was the worst right after that darn Puppet! You can see for yourself when we get there, but all three of you better not leave my sight for any reason! Are we clear!"

Soon they find the smoking remains of Fazbear's Frights behind police tape. Everyone but Jeremy looks disappointed. Jeremy feels like he just dodged a bullet. "Oh thank you, merciful God!" He says under his breath before seeing the disappointment on the children's faces."Sorry kids but how about we go to a movie! My treat!"

After the group leaves the burned remains of Fazbear's Frights, a mysterious figure's voice comes out of glowing rubble. "I came back ... I ... will ...always come back!" Out of the rubble, a robotic rabbit that's in horrible condition rises out. As luck would have it they drive away before ether one sees the other. "I should make some repairs to this "Spring trap"! Oh not a bad new name for myself! I am Spring trap!" The undead furry sees an old box full of old Animatronic suit pieces. "Oh, the remains of the Toy Models those take me back!"

"Spring trap, well it does have a nice ring to it! Very foreboding William Afton!" A hooded young girl with her face covered with a bandana reading Let Party! steps out of the shadow of the trees. She nonchalantly walks past Spring trap to grab the anthropomorphic chicken head.

Spring trap grabs a jagged piece of metal as a sneak up on her. "A fan of Chica are you?" The woman turned around to face him, causing him to drop his murder weapon. "You can say that!"

Something is rubbing Spring trap the wrong way about this lady. "You mind if I ask who you are? Not many would be so calm talking to an undead man held together in a robotic suit!" The woman holds the Chica head closer to her own. "You could say your like a father to me!" She takes off her hood to show her head ... a bare endoskeleton head.

[Present Day]

At the headquarters of the Maniacz, the only robotic member Phoenix is watching TV in her pitch black room when Scarlet calls her. "Scarlet always a pleasure to hear from the new girl. Although I would rather we get to know each other better!~"

Scarlet growls in annoyance at Phoenix for her flirtatious tone. Out of all the people who make passes at her Phoenix is the most aggressive, bordering on a sexual harassment lawsuit. "I haven't been the new girl in five years. Anyway, I got this job and it involves tracking down a robot and saving its hostage! I don't give a shit about the money but I don't know how to track down this robot!"

Phoenix puts like a spoiled child from after too many rejections from Scarlet. "Oh, you're no fun at all! And you need my help because I know how a robot thinks, right?"

"That and the robot's creator was Afton robotics." The mention of that name makes Phoenix drop her remote to the floor like she just had a PTSD flashback.

[Raven Manor]

Vincent and Ballora run frantically to the door but Vivienne stops them with a magic bubble. She looks at them like a mother disappointed in her kids. "Where do you two think you're going in such a hurry?!"

Vincent violently pounds on the magic bubble with his first. "CUT THE SHIT VIVIENNE! THAT THING YOU FOUGHT LAST NIGHT JUST CALLED US SAYING HE HAS A FAMILY TO GET BACK TO JACKSON'S FAMILY!"

Vivienne pops the bubble with an audible pop. *POP!* Afterward, Vincent and Ballora drop onto the floor, Ballora's extra padding cushions Vincent's landing."And you think bringing a seven-foot metal woman out in the open, in the middle of the bloody day no less is wise?"

"She does bring up a good point! We got here without incident last night because no one was around to see us! I can't go out without drawing unneeded attention!" Ballora says to Vincent as she gently holds him like a baby. The guy struggles to get out of the robotic dancer's grip, embarrassed at the position. "I have no idea if I can take on a crazy, body snatching robot on my own! but I have to do something!"

Vivienne after a sigh reaches down with her hand. "Give me this Jackson's address!" Vincent writes it down for her on a scrap of paper from his pocket "What are you gonna do?" Vivienne plays with his hair with a smirk. "I'm gonna do the best I can!"

She winks at Vincent playfully before summoning her puppet with just a snap of her finger. After a polite bow, it vanishes in a puff of purple fire. "My puppet will watch that family but if this Bumbo is smart it won't touch them and try to keep its cover. His skin will start rotting away in 2 days tops after that you'll be ready for him! Now that is under control Ballora dear come with me! My experiment is ready!"

After the two get up Ballora still presses Vincent into her chest out of compulsion."You never told us what you plan to do to me!"

Vivienne gives Bellora's ass one last smack before opening the basement door. *SMACK!* "Very well, I'm going to turn you into a human! Well, a human might not be the right term but as Pinocchio would say I'm going to make you a real girl. Now let me be your Blue Fairy!"

The three walks into the basement to see a magic circle painted onto the bare floor. With each step, Vivienne takes down the steers black candles light themselves with Vivienne's trademark purple fire all around it! "This is the first time I've been down here, much less kinky then I thought."

Vivienne gives him an affectionate kiss on the lips, only to be pulled away by Ballora. "Wrong room my darling Vincent. Now my dear, stand in the center and we can begin. Vincent you don't need to be here, you may go." Vincent doesn't even move when told to leave.

"This is not going to be pleasant to watch. Are you sure?"

"Will this hurt?!"

Vivienne has never been one to mince words, but she does not know exactly how to respond. "I'm afraid so my dear, but sometimes pain is a necessary measure! If you wish to not go through with this I'll understand!"

Ballora turns to Vincent for his opinion on the matter. "Do you think I should go through with this Vincent?" She puts her hands on Vincent's shoulders and the first thing he notices is she's shaking like a leaf. Ballora is terrified and about to panic as she has no idea if she should be human. Vincent spots this as he pulls her into a hug to calm her down. Her face may be stuck in a permanent smile but she never feels like smiling.

"I can't tell you what to do, this has to be your choice! I've never been able to keep myself away from beautiful ladies remember!" Vincent tells her bluntly, having always Ballora hugs him out of fear, she's frightened because she has no idea what to do. Vincent pats her on the back Ballora lets go of him Ballora: I don't want this, I need this! I'll become a human woman but I have one condition!"

"Name it." An embarrassed Ballora twiddles her fingers. "You stay by my side and teach me how to be a human…" She panics while waving her hand around like something in an anime. "...as my friend!" Vincent then flicks her on her nose with a smirk. "I'm already your friend but you got a deal."

The metal dancer steps into the center of the circle shaking with fear again. Vivienne picks up a ceremonial dagger and cuts her own hand opens! She collects her own blood into a chalice. Vivienne starts chanting into the cup in a hushed tone. "Au Damballa tout-puissant. Donnez-moi le pouvoir, je vous en supplie! Leveau mercier du bois chaloitte. Secoise entienne mais pois de more. Morteisma lieu de vocuier de mieu vochette. Endenlieu pour du noisette Damballa! Endenlieu pour du noisette Damballa! Endenlieu pours du noisette Damballa."

Her blood starts glowing purple when she stops chanting. She walks up to Ballora with a look on her face that says she really is sorry for what she is about to do. "Last chance to back out of this my dear!"

Ballora stands in the center of the circle, eagerly awaiting to be human. "I've made up my mind about this Madam Vivienne!"

"Fine but do brace yourself! This is about to be ... intense!" Vivienne slowly pours the glowing blood onto the magic circle causing the fire to engulf it. The fire then crawls up Bellora's legs as she is magically lifted off the ground. "MAKE IT STOP!" Ballora starts screaming in agony as her body starts morphing in size and shape inside the fire. Her outer shell pieces start fusing together becoming skin as her internal components turn into flesh and bone. The purple on the top of her head made to look like hair in a bun turns into real dark purple hair. The bulk of her robot body slim down and become closer to a normal human woman with a curvy body. The smile leaves her now human face as Ballora continues to scream. The fire vanishes with the ritual complete and Vivienne on her knees with a nose bleed. "Vincent check on her!"

The now human Ballora lays on the ground weak from the transformation but alive. Vincent props her head up she opens her eyes but they are still a glowing violet with black sclera. Her skin is gray with faded black Tron like lines if you look close. She looks like she could be in her mid-twenties with big full lips, hourglass figure and long shapely legs any dancer would be proud of. She is also MUCH shorter than her robot self at six feet nine inches. Vincent covers Ballora with a nearby blanket because she is now naked, her robotic form's ballerina outfit was part of her body. "Happy birthday Ballora! How do you feel?!"

Ballora now with the ability to change her facial expressions finally removed her smile. However, seeing Vincent's concerned expression does cause her to grin."Like I've been scooped over and over again!" "What are these strange noises I hear in my chest?"

Vincent blushes a little due to her "That's your heart beating its normal." Ballora's new stomach growls, causing her to hold Vincent tighter out of fear. The ex-con laughs as a sign of relief, happy she is okay. "And your hungry which is a good sign. Can you walk?" Ballora struggles to move her new organic body but she is too exhausted to move."I really can't move much right now! I'm actually grateful I can still talk after all my screaming!"

Vivienne finishes coughing up blood and gets back to her normal attitude, smacking Vincent on his ass this time. "Take her upstairs I've got a bedroom ready for her, But first I better dress her."

The witch wipes the blood off her face and snaps her fingers conjuring shorts and a t-shirt that reads Let's Dance onto Ballora! Vincent picks her up now that she's light enough to do so. This makes Ballora blush but she has no idea why.

Vincent has never seen Vivienne on her knees like this before, at not under these circumstances before. "Are you OK Vivienne!" Vivienne has one of her puppets clean up her blood off the floor. "The ritual took more out of me than I planned! Some rest and I'll be fine."

Ballora resting comfortably in Vincent's arm then comes to a realization. "Why did you wish to turn me human anyway Madam? Vivienne's disposition quickly changes from silly and mysterious to an alarming calm. "Don't concern yourself with my affairs, my dear! You're the latest of my Life Giver Ritual! You don't have strings on you anymore enjoy it!"

As Vincent carry's Ballora upstairs Vivienne pulls a locket out of her coat pocket smiling. She opens it to show an old photo of her hugging a little boy that looks just like her. The photo is time-stamped 1987. Looking at the picture makes her cry uncontrollably, an angry expression forms on her face as tears hit the floor. She holds the lock close to her chest and continues to cry. "It's been so long!"
