Zeydaan slowly walked up to the old Fazbear Pizzeria building, softly fixing their uniform and sighing…. They had agreed to come in and take over their friend’s night shift, yet they struggled to even think of how in the world they got convinced to do this at such a run down pizzeria….

They carefully unlocked the front door and walked in, slowly making their way into the security room, knocking on the door to get Will’s attention, causing Will to jump a bit.

“O...oh Zey, you made it! You scared me!’ Will chucked awkwardly as he stood up. “Thank you so much for taking my shift tonight”

“Yeah yeah, I promised…. And you're sure nobody will get mad about this since I don’t actually work here?” Zeydaan asked softly, scratching at their head, still a bit worried.

“Don’t worry, I promise! Others do it all the time, the owner really just doesn’t care after all, even if he were to notice” Will laughed again and stretched, standing up and stretching. “And don’t think I forgot our promise, I’ll make sure to take you to eat somewhere nice!”

“Oh yeah, that’s what our deal was.” Zeydaan chuckled as he walked in and emptied their pockets of their keys and phone, setting them down on the table.

Suddenly, Will’s joking attitude suddenly shifted, becoming more serious as he saw Zeydaan’s phone sat on the table.

“I….is there something wrong with my phone….? I didn’t think there would be a problem….” Asked Zeydaan, noticing their weird expression.

“Y...yeah, it’s fine just….don’t connect to the wifi here, alright?” Will said somewhat sternly, grabbing their jacket and walking out, not even saying goodbye to Zeydaan.

Zeydaan looked concerned as they watched Will walk out, leaving the building and locking the door behind him, as they sigh, shrugging it off and assuming that it must have been something with their boss as they sat down in the chair, getting comfortable.

________________________________________________________________

Zeydaan sat around for a few hours, watching the clock go…… it was only two in the morning, and they still had another three hours, as they sighed loudly, standing up and grabbing their phone, shoving it into their pocket as they walked out the room, going to look around.

Zeydaan sighs, looking around the old pizzeria….. It looked barely working, as they looked around, wondering how it was even still in business, but…. Even though with how bad it looked, they still had good memories from when they were younger, their favorite was always foxy, and they were sad that they shut down foxy and took him out of the shows….

Zeydaan stopped, scratching their head, as they tried to remember what it was that even caused them to stop using foxy, before deciding to try to look it up on their phone.

they pulled the phone out of their pocket, switching it on and going to google…..with, no luck…. there wasn’t even a tiny bit of service in this building.

Zey sighed, their curiosity had grown too great to just simply ignore it and look it up later, as they decided to close the app and go to the settings, pulling up the wifi settings as they let it search, as a wifi connection popped up, with…. no password and a random set of letters and numbers for the name…?

Zeydaan cocked their head a bit, wondering why there was no password. If they were so strict about people not connecting, then why wouldn’t they keep it password protected…. Maybe it was just so the employees didn’t slack off?

They shrugged it off, as they selected the wifi, and hit connect, as suddenly, a sharp jolt of electricity pulsed from the phone, shocking their hand and causing them to yelp as they dropped the phone, causing it to fall onto the ground, the screen shattering.

“D...dammit! Stupid phone…!” Zeydaan grumbled, looking at their hand, trying to open and close it to make sure it was ok. It felt stiff, hard to open and close, but they decided that it must have just simply been because of the electricity messing with their muscles or something….

Zeydaan kept staring at their hand as suddenly, it looked somewhat off, sorta, white even?

They decided to shake it off, thinking it might just be the lighting, or rather lack thereof inside the old pizzeria.

Grumbling at this situation, Zey decided to try to stand up, and take a walk around the building, even though they was advised not to, hoping to shake off the weird feeling in their hand and now arm, as the strange tingling sensation slowly creeped up their arm.

Getting increasingly more and more annoyed at the feeling, the wolf finally decides to try to take a good look at their arm, as they noticed, that strange white color wasn’t just on their hand now, it had started to fully creep up their arm and down their fingers, their nails now much sharper than before and a bright orange.

They could feel their heart drop, as they shakely started touching their arm, as they could feel the cold, hard metal that had replaced their fur.

Freaking out more, they tried to rip off their clothes, struggling to get their shirt off over their arm, which they have been slowly losing more and more control over now, as they looked down at their chest, only to see that the metal has spread to it, continuing to spread as their chest starts to turn white and orange, as suddenly, an even stranger feeling begins to spread through them….

The earlier heart drop feeling they had was still there, only…. Not just metaphorical, it was almost as if it had stopped! They grabbed Their chest, expecting to be in pain, but, nothing, it was as if it had just stopped completely, as suddenly, in the middle of their chest, right where their heart was, a strange object began to form. A white metal circle, formed right in between the orange of their new chest, with a grate in between, almost like a speaker!

Zeydaan tried to call out for help, as only a soft “ahh” escaped their mouth, almost as if it were nothing but air escaping their mouth, as their lower jaw felt as if it unhinged, as it drooped down, as the cold, hard sensation began to spread to it, as they could feel their teeth changing even, as they began to sharpen into razor sharp fangs, as new ones started pushing in, leaving them with even teeth than before. Unfortunately, they slowly realized, whatever was happening to them now wasn’t going to stop, not until there was nothing left of the wolf.

They tried to run back to the security room, hoping to maybe call somebody, anybody! Maybe the police, maybe even Will, just somebody to come and help them, as suddenly, their legs began to feel still as well, causing them to lose balance and fall over, their head hitting one of the tables as they fell to the ground, their pants slipping off as their legs began to thin out.

The poor wolf struggled to try to sit themselves upright, as they looked down at their legs, seeing what was happening, as he could feel themself losing control of them, the metal starting to completely replace their fur, as they watched it slowly spread to their groin even, as he watched their dick slowly shrink away, leaving a cold, smooth solid orange panel, completely removing any presence of their, or well…. As it slowly sunk in to them, IT’S manhood.

Zeydaan tried to move their arm, attempting to touch their legs, or anything even, to feel it, just to see if what was happening truly was happening, as they noticed, they couldn’t budge either their left, nor their right arm, as they looked over to their side, as they saw the white and orange metal arm laying their limp, the segments in it letting them truly realize what was happening… they were transforming into an animatronic.

their head started to feel heavier and heavier, as their jaw continued to sag, as their head fell limply to the side, losing the ability to move it at all, as the metal began to spread over their face, their features shifting, changing the wolf’s muzzle into that of a fox, their muzzle turning orange, as their lips puffed a bit, turning purple along with their cheeks.

Slowly, the metal got towards their eyes, as they could feel them widening more and more, as they became stuck open, forcing them to stare directly forward, unable to do as much as look around, as slowly, finally, the metal stopped, now having replaced them entirely.

Now, sitting limply on the floor the animatronic sat, waiting for somebody, anybody to come see them, hoping that maybe, just maybe somebody could recognize them, and maybe turn them back.

The alarm inside the security room started ringing. Five oclock had just hit, as suddenly, a jingling of keys could be heard as the front door unlocks as an employee walks into the pizzeria.

“Will?! You here buddy? I’m here for the shift change!” The employee walked around, peeking into the security room, seeing nobody in there, not even noticing the broken phone under the table.

“Guess that lazy bum went home early…. AGAIN!” The employee sighed, as he tossed his keys onto the desk and walked into the main room of the pizzeria, only to stop dead in their tracks, seeing the animatronic sitting there, in the middle of the room.

“Oh jeez! Guess the new bot came in, and of course he didn’t even bother calling me about it, just deciding to leave me with all the work… typical…” The employee sighed, as he walked over to it, standing it up and heaving it over to the wall to stand it up. “Gods, how did they even get this thing in here!”

Zeydaan’s mind raced, getting to see the person standing in front of them, maybe this was their chance! After all the hours of them sitting limply, motionless on the floor, maybe they will help them, just maybe they will tu….

Suddenly, the employee presses a button on the chest on the animatronic, causing it to pop open, revealing nothing but wiring and machinery, as Zeydaan’s mind freaks out, the feeling of their chest popping out scaring them.

“Ok let’s see here….” the employee sets down his bag and pulls out his laptop, plugging it into the bot and pulling up lines and lines of what seemed like junk code.

“Oh lord, whoever shipped us this thing really didn’t know what they were doing when it came to programming! Guess we are just gonna have to do a full wipe, get the boss to tell us what we should upload into uhhh….” The employee squinted and looked inside of the chest plate, reading a name “Lolbit? Weird name, but it’s a kid’s place so…. Guess it makes sense” He signed, as he pressed a button on their laptop, sending a jolt through Z…zey…zeydaan’s brain.

“W…wait no!” Almost instantly, they knew what has just begun, they were wiping them! Ze…zeybit….. It’s brain began to feel fuzzy, their memories becoming more and more distant, as they struggled to hold onto them, as they desperately tried to call out, one last time “No, please! It’s me……”

“Aaaaand that’s that, full wipe is done, nothing left of that junk code, whoever programmed that seriously needs to get a new job or something, they clearly didn’t know how to program an animatronic like you, huh lolbit?” The employee laughed, as they started to try to unplug the laptop haphazardly, only to accidentally touch one of the many wires inside of the animatronic.

“OW! Dammit,guess that’s why they don’t recommend for new guys to touch these things… fuck me that hurt.. And great, now my hand feels numb, I hope I don’t need to go to the hos….” suddenly, a soft, mechanical laughter started coming from the voice box of lolbit, as their head began to slowly lift, their hollow eyes locking with that of the employee’s, as lines and lines of program began to fill the screen, and slowly upload itself into the wifi.
“W….wait, what’s going….” The employee felt off suddenly, as the machine continued to laugh their glitchy laugh.

The party never ends when you expect
