Chapter 5
Night 4
Roxas and Sora walked into the Fazbear’s building, it felt empty and darker than usual. Roxas got a text from Namine.
‘Be careful tonight.’
Yeah… I’ll definitely try
The 2 brothers sat down and Roxas turned on the monitors. They flashed between static and colour every few seconds. The animatronics couldn’t been seen on the stage through the camera, Roxas panicked and he checked the storage room camera. They were all sitting there, turned off, but with a dark aura surrounding them. He though he heard a breathing sound from the camera, he tried to focus. As he did, his ears rang with a high pitched noise and his head felt a sharp pain. Sora noticed this and turned to him, Roxas fell unconscious, falling to the floor, Sora caught him just in time.
Roxas opened his eyes and looked around. As he did he saw that he was in a wooden room with a table, a chair, and a window to the outside. Was he dead? There didn’t seem to be any other life around him. He heard a creak, he turned to look. A door had opened, and now standing inside was a girl with long hair and a white dress.
“You’re awake.”
He couldn’t say anything.
“You would probably think that you are now dead. You are not. But instead you have currently temporary been linked to a world where time does not flow, and life cannot be born or ended. An illusionary world you might say.”
Roxas tilted his head.
What is her name… she must have one.
“You are the first person to enter this world in a very long time, but only because I happened to summon you for a task. There are beings near you that hold great power in the darkness. Take this and destroy them.”
The girl summoned a key shaped object and handed it to Roxas.
“Go…”
Roxas opened his eyes once again, all that he saw was darkness. He felt Sora’s presence next to him. But…
Why is it so dark?
“Roxas… Roxas please wake up… they- they’ve surrounded the office. Power has ran out and the doors are collapsing in.”
Roxas looked over to where Sora’s voice was coming from.
“Don’t worry Sora, I’m here.”
He stood up and thought back to the girl in white.
A key shaped object… she gave it to me there… but what about here? It did just appear in her hand though.
Roxas though about how if he died he’d never get to see Namine again.
I-I don’t want that… not now, not ever.
Balls of white light started to radiate from below Roxas, and in his hand was the key shaped object he was given in the illusionary world.
“Roxas? What’s that…?”
He smirked.
“I’ll explain later. Right now, I need those doors opened. Think you can do that for me?”
“Uh… sure,”
Sora hit the emergency open button in the office and the doors opened. The 4 animatronics came in the room and Roxas hit all of the with the key shaped object, sending all of their heads flying into the 2 halls. The 4, now lifeless, bodies of metal fell to the ground. To Roxas’s dismay, darkness started to pour out of them creating multiple copies off each animatronic, each with a black colour and more horrifying looks than the originals.
“These guys are like nightmares… Sora, hide!”
Sora looked around the room for a place to hide, he found a loose vent duct above him and opened it, climbing through it.
Alright… time to finish these guys off.
Roxas swung the key object at them, cutting apart the dark figures, but for each one he cut in 2, the 2 pieces grew back dark bodies of their own. Essentially doubling their numbers.
I can’t do this… what are these?
Heartless… their bodies shall soon gain life of their own and act on their own course. Bodies with no hearts… Nobodies.
How do I destroy them?
Still striking each body down as he tried to hold out for him, he tried to find an answer.
Usually this blade would destroy their bodies and release the captured hearts within them… but right now, as you have noticed, they are only multiplying. Exponentially I might add.
They were closing on him, there were probably just about over 100 now.
But… this darkness lurking in the restaurant. This is the truth behind it, The Heartless.
Roxas thought he heard a car horn coming closer to the restaurant.
I must be imagining it.
The wall in front of him collapsed, and 2 white lights could be seen from the rubble. The dark figures that had been caught in the beams of light hissed and dissipated.
Well… that solves 2 problems. How to get out, and how to kill these things… for good.
Unauthorized duplication: this tale has been taken without consent. Report sightings.
“Roxas! I heard on the news that there was trouble at the restaurant last night with the manager and night guards. You alright in there?”
“Axel?! Well… I guess now I am, thanks to you.”
He looked at Axel’s smirking face, the face he always put on when he thought that he had done good.
“Did you really have to break the wall though?! Seriously, that’ll be the end of my job!”
He looked confused.
“The building’s getting demolished anyway, didn’t you know that it had been closed down since yesterday?”
“Huh… no, I didn’t. I didn’t receive word from the manager today about it.”
The camera flicked to the supplies room as Roxas looked back into the room, the manager was lying dead, his body crushed by what looked like work by the animatronics.
“I guess that might be why…” Roxas sighed, “You got any super light source on you that can illuminate this place all at once?”
“Well…” Axel pulled out a lighter. “If you can get me to the basement with all the gas reserves are I think I can light things up all at once.”
“Alright… Let’s go.”
Roxas took off, blade in hand. Axel following behind. Roxas swung at every heartless in sight, Axel using the lighter for a small light source to keep them out of the immediate area. There was a huge group of them down the end of the hall and into the entertainment room, Roxas flipped over them, upon landing striking them all at once. More attacked from behind, he ducked and sliced them as well. The blade grew brighter the more he sliced, producing a light of its own. The Heartless could no longer surround Roxas, when he got close to them they burned before he sliced them. Now when he sliced them now, they died for good, releasing the hearts they had captured, but the darkness of the restaurant itself continued to produce more heartless each second more than he could kill. He saw the door to the facility room and raced towards it, slicing the heartless on his left, right, and direct front. He kicked open the door, Axel following. The blade had grown even brighter now, like a beacon. The door to the basement was only a few meters away, but in front of it was a man dressed in the old purple uniform, fresh blood on his hands and holding a knife. Next to him was Sora, his arms and legs cut.
“Don’t worry… I haven’t killed him… yet. I though why not kill both of the brothers at once together, as they were meant to as kids when I hacked that mangled animatronic. I see that you’ve also brought a friend. How nice.”
Sora groaned, he was in excruciating pain.
“Axel, I’ll deal with him.”
Axel nodded.
Roxas ran towards the man with his blade raised, ready to attack. He attacked, but it was blocked by a similar looking object, but the reverse colours to his. His blade was a golden handle with a silver blade, while his was a silver handle with a golden blade. Although, unlike his, it wasn’t glowing in light, darkness radiated from it, creating heartless around Roxas as they fought. Not only did he have to defend and attack the man, he had to slay the heartless as he fought, even if it was making his blade glow brighter, it was making him grow tired. The man swung his blade overheaded at Roxas, he blocked, but the man pulled his knife and slashed his left side abdomen. Blood gushed from it, he couldn’t stand. He looked around to find Axel, but he was nowhere.
He must have left during the fight down to the basement.
He smiled at this realization.
“Why are you smiling? You’re about to die.”
“So are you…”
“No… I’m not. Heartless!”
He raised his blade above his head and the darkness from it swirled around him, surrounding him in a full dark shell. It was exactly him with all the features… but bigger and gave off an extremely dark aura.
“This. This is the darkness true form!”
Roxas… if you wish to survive, release the light within your blade just before his attack reaches you.
Got it.
The man attacked at him with the now completely black blade, Roxas raised his blade and shouted.
“Light! Lend me your power!”
Just before the attack contacted Roxas, he himself turned into a white figure, illuminating light, burning the arms of the man.
“How the hell?!”
Roxas swung his blade at a diagonal strike that would hit from the top left chest to the bottom right abdomen. The man blocked with his dark blade, but Roxas’s light blade cut through it, breaking it in two and making it disappear. His hit made contact, cutting through the man and burning up all the darkness into nothing. When his attack had finished, only the man’s true form was left.
“This is the darkness’s truth boy… you’ve seen it all tonight. You know that it will return.”
“Shut up!”
Roxas struck the man, killing him instantly. After this he returned to normal.
“Sora! Oh we need to get you out of here and into a hospital.”
Roxas’s phone rang, the ringer was Sora. He picked it up.
“Sora…?”
“Roxas? Are you alright? I’m here at home and Namine is here… and you’ve been gone for a while. Work was off remember? If you’re there that is.”
“I was… never told that, and uh Sora… you’re right in front of me here at the restaurant, all cut up and bruised.”
“Haha, nice one, but I’m at home right Namine? Namine? Are you deaf?”
Roxas got another call.
“Sora, I got another call, I’ll talk later.”
“Uh sure.”
He hung up this call and picked up the one waiting.
“Roxas? It’s Namine. I know this sounds crazy but… I just woke up from seeing Sora in hospital.”
“Not weird… not weird at all. His body is here with me breathing, but he just called me and told me that he’s at home with you.”
“How’s that possible… does that mean he’s entered a coma?”
“I don’t know Namine, I don’t know. Look, I’m going to go now, see you soon.”
“Yeah, see you soon.”
Roxas hung up, looked over at Sora and went down to the basement where Axel was.
“Everything ready?”
“Ooh yeah! It’s boom time once we’re out of here. Just releasing it to the external funnel outside the restaurant then I’ll light it up from the outside.”
‘’Nice, knew you knew what you were doing. I’m gonna grab Sora then we can go.”
Roxas and Axel climbed up ther stairs out of the basement, grabbed Sora and left the building. There were no heartless as they made their way out of the building. Roxas waited in Axel’s car with Sora while Axel lit the lighter. In an instant, the place set alight from the inside.
“Let’s go, better get him to the hospital right Roxas?”
“Yeah.”
Night 5
Roxas sat by Sora’s bed in the hospital, reading the latest newspaper.
‘Restaurant goes down in blaze.’ The headline read.
Well, it was definitely eventful… although that blade has disappeared ever since. And that illusionary world girl hasn’t contacted me either.
The door to Sora’s room opened, and a girl with long hair and a white dress walked in.
“I’m looking for a… Roxas?”
That’s it… That’s this story gone. It took a different path than when I though of this story in the beginning but obviously it’s been so long since the last update on this… sorry for that but writer’s block is never fun, or is problems that happen in life. Or you just get bored of the series you’re writing about. I would like to thank whoever reviewed it and also to those who read the false chapter 5 and were worried, as well as sorry. But you all took it in the way it was meant to which was I was not the best and I was not going to be writing anytime soon. Well… since this cliffhanger was left here, yes, there will be a sequel, but not to do with FNAF, that was just an idea of combining how the animatronics worked with the heartless and nobodies. Well… I’ll be showing a preview of the sequel after this, so avoid it if you plan to read it and don’t want spoilers.
The Darkness’s Return
The girl wondered across the plains with her green doll… searching endlessly for whatever she could find. The sky was turning grey and it looked like snow would begin to fall.
In this world where life can not be born, or destroyed, nor time flows. Why is it that she and I are here? What purpose do we serve here, if any? I’ve asked myself these questions many times over how long it’s been since I arrived here, but I have not found an answer.
“Those lights. The ones rising into the sky. Those are people happiness I think. People’s happiness from another world, similar to this one… Only, time flows and life can begin and end. I do not know why we are here, or how. But I’m glad I’m here with you, away from all of the darkness that other world has.”
