Begin Again In Marvel

POV Rio

I was honestly shocked that Tony was coming back to Freddy's after his first night. Everyone was also surprised that he didn't ask for my help. Needless to say, there were facepalms all around. Regardless of Tony's questionable stupidity, we all got cozy to watch Tony scramble to survive the 3rd night. For some reason, he upgraded his suit thinking it would help. It is not going to help at all.

Rio: "So who here thinks he will manage to make it?"

Yang: "I think he makes it."

Cait: "Who cares!? Now where's the drinks?"

Rio: "On the green table. Try not to get too drunk."

Cait: "Or what you'll spank me like a disobedient child."

Rio: "No, I will put you on the physical teleporter."

Lex: "Wait, isn't that the one that is a roller coaster?"

Rio: "Yep, that's the one. The inventor made it to mess with adventurers trying to get into his tower."

Cait: "Okay, I will take it easy on the drinks. Just don't put me in that thing. I already have bad memories of Nuka Galaxy and that safe roller coaster we used on the 3rd anniversary."

Rio: "Oh yeah that. Hehe, you were like a sprinkler of vomit. Good times."

Cait: "Har har, laugh it up will ya? Don't forget I know a lot of embarrassing things about you and the kiddies aren't around."

Rio: "Shutting up now."

Everyone laughs and we watch as Tony walks inside and is knocked out again.

POV Tony Stark

I wake up and look around.

Tony: "Damn it. I knew this was a bad idea. But I had to prove Pepper right. I am never coming back to this cursed place."

I hear that cursed ring tone and I dread what I will hear this time.

Phone Guy: "Hello, hello? Hey, you're doing great! Most people don't last this long! I mean, you know, they usually move on to other things by now. I'm not implying that they died. Th-th-that's not what I meant. Uh, anyway, I better not take up too much of your time. Things start getting real tonight."

Tony: "THEY WEREN"T REAL BEFORE NOW!"

Phone Guy: "Uh, Hey, listen. I had an idea. If you happen to get caught and want to avoid getting stuffed into a Freddy suit, uh, try playing dead! You know, go limp. Then there's a chance that, uh, maybe they'll think that you're an empty costume instead. Then again if they think you're an empty costume, they might try to, stuff a metal skeleton into you. I wonder how that would work. Y-Yeah, never mind, scratch that. I-It's best just, not to get caught. Uh, ok, I'll leave you to it. See you on the flip side!"

I grab the phone and start messing with it to see if it is an actual phone. Once I take it apart I see that it should function. While I do this I constantly check the cameras. I don't focus on anything other than if there are the right amount of Animatronics. Once I am done with the phone I look at the camera feeds and what I see makes me rub my eyes.

Tony: "I swear I just saw the yellow shake its rear at the camera."

I take a deep breath and focus on getting through this night. I check the cameras regularly but I notice the power is decreasing at an alarming rate.

'What kind of sick twisted individual makes the accessible power so incredibly low? I mean I know I joked about Double AAs but it seriously feels like that is what I am dealing with here.'

I look at the camera and see the yellow one next to the door. I look over and see it as it is coming down the hall. I kick the door control. The door closes and the power dips by 10%. I started making the power adapter and plugging it into my Ark Reactor. I looked at the cameras all the while and saw that the other Animatronics were staring at the cameras.

'Creepy little monsters. I should buy this company just so I can scrap these things.'

I froze when I saw a new Animatronic on one of the cameras. I looked like the purple one but yellow. I was confused as to where this one came from when a sound from the right hallway made me struggle to move and close the door. It seemed I was right in time as the pirate fox ran into the door a few seconds later and I heard a thud as if it fell over. When I looked back to the camera the yellow bunny disappeared.

'Well, that's not good.'

I went back and checked the cameras while also checking the power usage. I was shocked at the ridiculous amount of power being drained from my Ark Reactor. I ran the calculation and estimated I would barely have enough energy to reach 6 a.m.

'What is that power being used for!? Is there a secret facility under here that contains more Animatronics?!'

Suddenly I hear a tapping at the window and I see the bear animatronic. What he said next I will never forget for many reasons.

Freddy: "Am I glad he's frozen in there, and that we're out here, and that he's the sheriff, and that we're frozen out here, and that we're in there, and I just remembered we're out here. What I want to know is, where's the caveman?"

For a second I saw him inside the room with me but I think I was seeing things.

Tony: "Wait? What Caveman? And when did I get this sheriff's badge?"

I was starting to wonder if I was drugged and this was all a hallucination. I pinched myself and felt the pain which made me worried about the psychological effects of being in here. That and I was wearing a security guard uniform with a sheriff's badge and hat. I checked the time and cameras to get my mind off what just happened.

'Just another 2 hours and I will be out of here if the previous experiences are anything to go by. Power is looking fine but it is clear that these Animatronics are really weird. Not just because of the mammalian features. Like since when can they talk? They are also acting far more animated than before.'

I looked at one of the cameras and I thought I saw the purple one t-posing for a second. But when I checked it again it was back to normal.

Tony: "I am losing my marbles. I need to get out of here sooner rather than later. What if I try to manipulate the clock?"

I try to bypass the clock settings but nothing seems to work. After trying to mess with the equipment in the office for half an hour I give up.

'This place makes no sense in so many ways.'

Sometime Later...

I was looking at the clock and I was excited as it read 5:59 AM. I had survived. And at a perfect time as all the Animatronics were staring at me through the windows and cameras. I was happy that this nightmare was over. The bells went off and I sagged in my chair. Then I started feeling very sleepy I decided not to fight it.

POV Rio

Rio: "Well he did better than anticipated. The Animatronics were acting a little odd. Why is that?"

I look at Monika and she tries to avoid eye contact and whistle innocently. That makes everyone look at her.

Monika: "I might have tweaked the programming a little bit. The previous programming was too active so I figured I would change its parameters on how they are active. I also added some fake images to the cameras to make him think he was seeing things. As for the illusion of Freddy getting inside that was thanks to Serana."

Serana: "I thought it would be funny which it was. Messing with what he thinks is there and isn't is funny. Also, he has no resistance to illusions. Like to an odd degree. Most people have some resistance but he doesn't."

Rio: "That's because of his heart issues. Metaphysical resistance to illusions comes from the heart. With his weakened heart he loses that minimal resistance. Now we should start his 4th night."

Sendak: "Oh are we doing 2 nights in a row?"

Rio: "Yep, as I can tell Tony will not come back willingly so we might as well get him now rather than do all the work later."

Everyone takes a quick bathroom break and then gets refills on the snacks before we settle in to watch Tony's 4th and possibly last night.

POV Tony Stark

I woke up and looked around me to see where I was and I quickly woke up completely when I saw where I was.

'NO, Nononononono, I can't be here! It was 6 AM. That means I go home.'

As I was panicking about my situation I heard that cursed ringtone again and I was very tempted to destroy that phone. But I held off.

Phone Guy: "Hello hello? Hey! Hey, wow, day four. I knew you could do it. Uh, hey, listen, I may not be around to send you a message tomorrow"

*door bangs are heard, and continue throughout the call*

Phone Guy: "It's-It's been a bad night here for me. Um, I-I'm kinda glad that I recorded my messages for you *clears throat* uh, when I did. Uh, hey, do me a favor. Maybe sometime, uh, you could check inside those suits in the back room? I'm gonna try to hold out until someone checks. Maybe it won't be so bad. Uh, I-I-I-I always wondered what was in all those empty heads, back there."

*Freddy's music plays*

Phone Guy: "You know… raspy moaning... Oh no."

Then a scream followed by static is played and I realized that he didn't make it. I started to really panic as now it seemed very real. I hesitated to look at the camera feed for the backroom but I looked and what I saw made me fall back in horror.

[Image Here]

'I need to escape as based on previous nights the power drain increases as days go on. Combined with the fact I used most of my Ark Reactors charge powering the doors last night means I won't be able to last another night hiding in this office.'

I look around the office and grab everything I can think of that might be useful. I watch the camera feeds as I am doing this and as soon as one of them leaves their areas I will lock the doors. I managed to make a suitable EMP device that has one use but should allow me to disable one of them for a time. Or at least it should. Then I slowly remove a vent and see if I can use it to escape.

'It's big enough that I can move but small enough that they shouldn't be able to follow me.'

The fox disappeared and I locked both doors before quickly enacting my plan. I used some very basic materials to make a fake security guard that would sit in the chair for me while I escaped. It used the phone's recording ability to play my voice on a loop. When the power went out I would hopefully be out of this place. I had made a mental map of the facility and was confident that I knew where the vents would lead. I climbed into the vent and started moving to the exit.

'So far so good.'

Suddenly I heard a sound that I was fairly certain was the power going out. I paused for a second to see if I could hear anything else.

SMASH

I heard what I could only guess was my fake getting smashed to pieces. The voice recording stopped and I slowly started crawling again. I was right near the roof vent when I heard something in the vents. I wasn't sure what it was but I wasn't going to wait and find out.

'Almost there. Just this next corner.'

I felt something grab my leg and I quickly looked back and saw the yellow Animatronic holding my leg. I was confused as the yellow one was much shiner this time and didn't have a nose.

Chica: "Let's go somewhere more private... So I can eat you."

(AN: That is an actual line of Chica from FNAF.)

Tony: "Bad touch, bad touch, stranger danger."

I pull out the EMP and pray it works. I activate it and the voice of the Animatronic becomes weird but it lets go.

Chica: "Come closer, let us smile together."

I start moving as fast as I can and when I get the outside vent I start kicking it. I hear that things voice again and it sounds like it is moving.

Chica: "I never thought I'd make it through that vent, but now we are together."

I put everything into breaking the vent as I heard the voice getting closer. Finally, with one final kick, the grate pops off and I slide out. Not a second too soon I hear the voice again.

Chica: "I was the first. I have seen everything."

I approach the edge of the roof and look down. When I look back I am surprised to see that the animatronic is unable to leave the vent as if there was an invisible barrier. I looked right at me and what was spoken next worried me greatly.

Chica: "I have seen him, the one you shouldn't have killed."

Then it disappeared back into the vent. I was shaking and drenched in sweat. When I looked around I noticed that the place I was on top of was the abandoned restaurant. I didn't want to linger but I also didn't want to risk leaving the only area the animatronics can't enter. I could say for certain that the rules applied to the ground. So I decided to wait on the roof until morning.

Sometime Later...

I woke up with a start as I looked around and saw I was back home. However, I knew it was real as my Ark Reactor needed to be replaced. I swore to never go back to that place. But I couldn't help but wonder about what that thing said.

'The one I shouldn't have killed?'

It seemed as if I needed to do some research.
