I couldn't face my parents after five years in a suit, much less my sister. I ran down the street and back to Freddy's, and I burst in the front door and collapsed on the floor.

"Laddie? You okay?" I hear Foxy ask.

"No, not really, Foxy." I say, not looking him in the eyes.

"Why's that?"

"It's been five years, and I went to see my family. They're moving, without me."

'Laddie, you've been gone half a decade, how can you be sure they're your family anymore?" Foxy asked.

He was right, I couldn't be sure if that girl on the porch was my sister or not.

"Foxy, do you know where the others are?" I ask, finally looking him in the eyes.

But when I look at his animatronic head, his eyes weren't the usual white, they were pitch black sockets with white pupils, about the size of a bread crumb.

"Foxy?" I ask.

"Laddie, it's me." Foxy says, confused. I ignore his appearance and he points me toward parts and service.

I walk in and find Freddy, Bonnie, and Chica all with their backs turned toward me.

"Guys? You okay?" I ask.

All of a sudden Freddy turns around and violently smacks me with a wrench, making me stumble backward. I regain my balance and look at Freddy.

His eyes are like Foxy's

I turn to leave, but Foxy blocks the exit.

Bonnie and Chica turn around and they have dark eyes as well.

"You left us, Max."

"Left us to die!"

I was confused.

"It wasn't under my control! I passed out in parts and service half a decade ago!" I yell.

We kept arguing, but all of a sudden Foxy thrusts his hook through my torso, ripping out my voice box, and pushing me to the ground.

I turn to talk, but all that comes out is a distorted grunt.

"You left us to die, and didn't help!" Bonnie yelled.

I couldn't talk back.

I had a plan.

I acted as if I was about to die, then I closed my eyes and went limp.

They talked for a while more, then left. I opened my eyes and thankfully, my voice box was still on the ground.

I got up, but fell back down. My endoskeleton was failing. I crawled to the workbench, and sat on it. I grabbed some spare parts and my voice box, and within an hour, my voice was working on and I could move normally again.

I got off the workbench and put the tools back, then I heard clanking behind me. This time I was ready for it.

I turned around when I felt a presence and my fist met Freddy's head.

Freddy stumbled backward and was shaking his head.

I ran at him and tackled him to the ground, and found a chip on his top hat.

I took the thing off and crushed it, and Freddy's eyes reverted back to normal.

"Max? Is that you?" Freddy asks, rubbing his eyes.

"Yes, it's me, Freddy. Stay here and regain your consciousness." I say.

I head to the party room, where I find Chica and Bonnie on the stage, deactivated. As soon as I step onto the stage, they awake and charge me, one from each side.

I move out of the way just in time and they crash into each other.

I take the chips out of Bonnie's guitar and Chica's cupcake, reverting them.

I tell them what I told Freddy, and I advanced to Pirates cove.

I rip open the curtain and get ready to charge Foxy, but he's just sitting against the wall, staring at me, and his eyes are normal.

"Sorry for stabbing ya, Laddie. I would never usually hurt a member of me crew. I got the chip already, don't worry about it." he says, holding the chip in his hand.

"Wait, So you weren't possessed?" I ask.

"Never was. A good Captain has to be a great actor."

I help Foxy up and I gather the others.

"So, what happened in the last five years?" I ask.

"How about we show you?" Bonnie suggests.

They all open their chest plates, and I see disfigured corpses of children inside each of my friends. It didn't surprise me, because I saw it before.

"Afton killed more children?" I ask, horrified.

"He sure did, and the one inside me I think you'll find familiar." Chica says.

I look closer, and realize it was Kate.

"Afton murdered my best friend?!" I yell.

"He did, and we were all there to watch. We were active, but we didn't want to see the horror."

"I don't blame you, guys, but Kate was my best friend. Why would she follow Afton?" I ask.

"She wanted answers, and she told us to give you this if we ever saw you again." Freddy says, giving something to me.

It was a heart shaped locket, with K + M on it.

I took the locket and I felt like crying.

"She loved you, Max." Bonnie says.

"It sure is a surprise. I'll keep it safe," I say. "For now, let's see if there were any clues.

We walk in to the secret room where Foxy said Afton lead the children, and I find a blood stain onto the wall.

I see the knife with some leftover blood on it, and when I pick it up, I get sent back to when Afton murdered Kate and the others but I can't move nor talk, only watch what happens.

I drop the knife and back into the wall, making a thump.

"Max? You okay?" Chica asks.

"Yeah, yeah, I'm fine." I say.

"Did you see something?" Freddy asks.

"Yeah, a vision. I was sent to when Afton murdered Kate and the other children."

"How is that possible?" Freddy asks.

"I dunno." I shrug.

We walk back to the party room, and I hear the puppets music, and it's floating around the show stage.

"Ah, there you are." It says.

"Were you looking for us, Puppet?" I ask.

"Yes, I have a message. Max, your sister has planted a camera on the wall, so she's been keeping tabs on us for five years." It says.

I can still contact my sister,

"Stand back guys. I'm gonna try something," I say.

I walk up to the camera and start talking.

to"Sis, if that's you behind the camera, I have a message I want to deliver. I'm sorry for not being home for the last half a decade, but I couldn't control my suit. I blacked out for five years, awakening to know that now that Afton has killed four more kids, including Kate. Come to Freddy's when you can, and maybe have some friends with you. This is Max, your brother. I miss you." I say.

I turn back to the others and they all shrug.

We waited a few days, but all of a sudden three enormous beams of light flash on us, making us cover our eyes.

"Police! Hands and paws in the air!" someone yelled.

I'm suddenly kicked to the floor and a shelf falls on top of me, crushing my torso.

I make the distorted screech I made five years ago, but the cops have all of us on the ground, all with heavy objects on us, making it impossible to get up. I don't see the puppet, so I'm guessing it vanished.

"Are these the animals you are looking for, young lady?" an officer asks.

I manage to look up and see my sister talking to the officer.

The objects are lifted off of us, and Sophie comes up and hugs me.

I hugged her back, but she's taller than I remembered.

"We miss you, Max." she sobbed.

"I miss you guys as well. Now let's get to business. Officers, a few weeks again, did you have any witnesses of four more murders here at Freddy's?" I ask.

"We haven't had any reports, no." one officer responded.

We talked for a bit longer, then we lead the police to the secret room, where Freddy hands them the knife.

"That was the very knife used to kill those four kids." I say. "And whenever I touch it, I'm sent back to watch that event. I wanna be able to stop him, but I can't move or talk."

"We'll send you the evidence back tomorrow, we wanna run some tests." one officer says. "Oh, and I never caught your name. Do you go by Fredbear or-"

"It's Max, and thanks." I interrupt, holding out my paw.

The officers shake it and walk out of the building, along with Sophie, who gives me one last hug before she leaves.

The day passes, and soon it's nighttime. I'm in parts and service, just slumped in the corner, and all the others are asleep.

I hear a whisper, and I get up.

"Who's there?" I ask.

I follow the whispering, and it leads to the secret room.

The blood that was on the wall is dripping, but that's impossible, it should be dried blood right about now.

I touch the blood, and when I made an impact with it, I'm sent back to the murder scene, but I can finally move, and talk.

Afton and the children, as well as Kate, walk in.

I made my move.

I rammed Afton into the wall, and I take the knife.

"You took my life, and many before me. You'll never make that mistake again, William." I growl while holding him against the wall.

I take the knife and stab him in the torso, but I didn't make the cut too deep, just enough to make him go into shock.

I lead the children out of the room and lead them to the stage to wait, but Kate stays back.

"I knew you would come for me, Max." she said. I knelt down and she gave me a hug, then a small kiss on my animatronic head.

She said goodbye as the police arrived, and I was sent back to my timeline.

When I arrived back in my timeline, I had hoped Kate was alive and all the other children were. But I realized I hadn't changed my own fate.

I went out of the secret room, but a change I hadn't made took place, and was not something I did.

This would change my life as Fredbear. Forever...
