Chapter 38: Chapter 36
Chapter XXXVI: Salvaged Rage
His next day then begins and it's Tuesday. He purchases Candy Cadet, and he tests it.
Candy Cadet: "Give me a coin, and I'll give a candy, and perhaps an interesting story."
Michael gives him a coin and Candy Cadet gives a candy, and as he gives it back, he tells a story of a boy who has a pet snake and welcomes five little kittens and puts them inside a shoe box in order for the snake to not eat them. The cage was open and for five nights, the snake eats the five kittens. According to Candy Cadet, the boy pieced the remains together and put the kittens back inside the shoebox. The robot tells Michael again of a story of a man with five orphans in which the burglar choose his home and murders the five, he had only one coffin and stitches up the corpse and puts it in one coffin. The robot also tells him of a story of a woman who melted five keys to unlock every door, however the only thing she got was five deaths and none survived. Michael is weirded out by the stories and means only one thing: Five Things were melted into ONE.
He suspects that it may be related to the Missing Children Incident of '85, The Funtime Animatronics transforming into Ennard, or the Destruction of the Five Animatronics by William in order to melt their endoskeleton into one to form Remnant. However, he bugs it off and upgrades his stage into a Deluxe Concert Stage, and purchases another animatronic named Happy Frog. He also buys another stage with has Star Curtains. He buys all light animatronics and gets a bonus. He then purchases Nedd Bear, and an animatronic bear named Lefty.
As he opens the restaurant for the day, he locks himself in his office again and orders necessities for the restaurant while checking the vents as if something may block it. Closing time is done again, and a familiar animatronic is found in the back alleyway. As Michael goes to see it, it's Springtrap, his father has come back, but somehow looked scrapped. He names this abomination, Scraptrap. Alongside with Molten Freddy, Scraptrap is set up in the salvage room and tests are being ran by Michael on him. As the latter gets to the prompts, Scraptrap speaks up.
Scraptrap:
Here we are again
Meeting face to face
Don't avert your eyes
Take your final breath
Live through all my pain
In your final night
Abandoned, forgotten, awoken tonight
I'm salvaged and broken and raging inside
Scrapped into pieces like breaking a mind
My salvaged heart, my salvaged life
Now disassembled, mangled halves
The decades fade, the blueprints die
With my ambition's all I have
My salvaged rage
My salvaged rage
To end you
Michael remembers all the bad memories regarding his lousy father. As he checks one of the prompt items,
There you go again
Digging up the past
Watch your every step
It's a dangerous game
When you go around
Waking up the dead
Abandoned, forgotten, restored for tonight
And dying to make up for all the lost time
When I'm done, yeah, nobody leaves here alive
My salvaged heart, my salvaged life
Now disassembled, mangled halves
The decades fade, the blueprints die
With my ambition's all I have
My salvaged rage
My salvaged rage
To end you
My salvaged rage
My salvaged rage
To end you
But as soon as he is about to attack Michael, the latter tases him and the prompts stop and eventually, the test ends for Scraptrap.
Scraptrap: "What a deceptive calling. I knew it was a lie the moment I heard it obviously but it is intriguing nonetheless."
