U is for Underground

I wake up, blinking slowly. Everything is so dark, I don’t know what’s going on. I take off the Freddy head. Coughing very badly, I feel like I’m going to pass out. I look up, it’s nighttime.

Fuck, how long have I been passed out?

I look around, rocks everywhere. I can faintly see a bulldozer at the corner of my eye. Even with a Freddy suit, I’m freezing. I get up, hoping that there’s an exit and I won’t be stuck down here forever.

"Hello?" I scream, "Is anybody here?"

I proceed to walk around, looking for some hidden clues on how to get out of this place. But it’s so dark, the only lights that’s coming out is the fucking hole Anderson pushed me in. I try to find my phone.

*For fucks sake... I left it back in the fucking car.*

Besides, I don’t think there’s gonna be any internet in this empty amount of space that’s far away from the light above. The moonlight is the only thing that’s giving out some sort of light here. Only a limited amount of area can be seen.

All of a sudden, I hear laughter coming from the darkness and freeze. I slowly walk towards the source and peek, and I see two men cheerfully giggling like two little girls at a playground playing hopscotch. One is wearing black and red… the other's wearing a t-shirt of an ocean that says "ambience." I can't quite make out anything from the neck above.

"How this motherfucker said it though was funny as fuck!" one of the men roars, "STUPID, I’M NOT GONNA LET YOU GET THE CHANCE!"

They both begin dying of laughter. I silently giggle myself as I remember watching that 6ix9ine video (well the [Muchdank edit](https://youtu.be/K23Va6fr92U?t=79) at least, I don’t feel like watching a full-on interview). Anyway, I listen to more of their conversation for the next five minutes. They have an *interesting* conversation…

"But anyway, why is Boss taking so long? This dumbass hasn’t even arrived yet. He always get mad at us for being late. Fucking hypocrite, I swear!" The man with the black and red huffs.

"I know right? Like I don’t see why he complains but right now he’s fucking—"

A smooth jazzy vibe song begins to play, and they both look.

"Aww fuck, it’s him." The man with the ocean t-shirt grumbles, as he picks up the phone and answers.

"Hello?"

I hear faint, staticky yelling coming through the phone, they both look at each other confused. The guy in the black and red shirt groans and whispers, "What’s he saying?"

"I don’t fucking know," He whispered back, "he’s basically being a fucking moron like always."

And then I hear yelling again. The man with the ocean t-shirt eyes widen, he looks towards the other dude. He mouths something. The other man begins to look around and begins to walk towards where I was just at. They begin to look around for something.

"Come out motherfucker," One of them yelled with a redneck accent, "my cousin can hide better!"

They both start to laugh hard, and I quietly snickered. They both turned around.

Aw fuck.

"Bruh, I know you ain’t just fucking do that." The one with the black and red shirt said.

"What the fuck did I do?" The other one said.

"Nevermind," He said, "dumbass."

They both continue to try looking for me. The room began to smell, which didn’t help my case because I’m trying to fucking hide.

I remain there for what seems like 19 to 21 minutes as I hear their footsteps crunching around. I began to have the urge to sneeze. Oh no, this can’t be good--

"AAAAACHO!"

Oh fuck.

"OVER THERE!" One of them yells and begins to run towards me. I begin to do a quick prayer and then he grabs me. I end up getting knocked out.

***

My head is pounding as I open my eyes one at a time, the ringing in my ears giving way to angry yelling and arguing. Those two and… a third voice. Deeper, more metallic, like it's coming from all over the place at large. I raise my head up slowly and notice that I'm not in the Freddy suit anymore.

"Fuck," I thought, "they fuckin’ robbed me, now what?"

I notice is that there's light. Two lines of white hover in the ceiling, flickering ever so slightly. A warehouse? I can see the two guys and they look pissed, but not at me. They're focused on this OTHER Freddy, not brown like the suit I had been wearing. But something like piss yellow. I can only see his back and silently scoff; this guy clearly looked pretty shit, like he'd been hanging around the ghetto his whole life. I wonder how bad he must smell under that suit.

"Doug, you fucking idiot! We’re not talking about that, we’re talking about this fucking idiot over here! Besides, how did he even get here without us noticing?" One of them shouts.

"Stop acting like I know, dipshit!" Doug replies. "You know what, Brandon? You are literally the--"

"***Ah,***" booms the voice, and Mr. Yellow Freddy holds his hand up to shut the others up. Then, he points at me.  "***Look, our little rookie is awake.***"

Wait a minute...

"Who... who are you guys?" I said, still trying to regain my conscience. It’s so fucking blurry.

"We’re your new family!" The dude on the left of the yellow Freddy exclaims in an Italian accent.

They both slowly turn their heads and look at him. He continues to look at me and then turns around to them.

"What?" He asks.

It’s quiet.

The other dude on the right of the Yellow Freddy proceeds to walk towards him and then..

SLAP!

"Aw, what the fuck was that for dude?" The dude said, confused for what just going on.

"You’re a dumbass, that’s why." The other dude responds. The Yellow Freddy remains silent, as they begin to get into an argument, then...

"***SILENCE***"

My vision returns to normal, and I realize… that thing is not human. I don't know how, I just do, like a kind of instinct? It looks fucked up, like a result of a mental breakdown. I start to shake as its eyes soullessly stare down upon me, eyeing me up and down like I was a frog being dissected in biology class.

"***So, now that they are done, let us talk about how you got here,***" the yellow Freddy snarls in a gruesome voice, "shall we?"

Its eye turns red immediately, I scream like a little girl and begin freaking out. I begin to quickly inhale and exhale.

The yellow Freddy snaps its fingers to the dude on the left of him. The dude walks up to me and forcefully grabs me and begins to shake me.

"RELAX, IT’S GONNA BE OKAY!" He screams, "WE WON’T HURT YOU AT ALL."

"FUCKING SLAP HIM ALREADY, HOLY FUCKING SHIT DONOVAN" The other dude screams.

He proceeds to stop shaking me, and slaps my face as hard as he could.

"DUMBASS LET ME DO IT SINCE YOU WANT TO ACT LIKE A FUCKING IDIOT," the other dude says and begins to walk towards me, before everyone is startled by a loud **SLAM** as the yellow Freddy slams its fists on the table.

"***LEAVE US, BOTH OF YOU,***" the yellow Freddy growls. "***I SHALL SETTLE THIS MYSELF IF YOU ARE TO CONTINUE ACTING LIKE IMBECILES. KNOW YOUR PLACE. PERHAPS YOUR ROLE IN THIS NEW WORLD WILL BE TO FUEL IT.***"

They both look at each other, absolutely terrified, and begin to walk away muttering to each other. I hear a door opening and closing. The yellow Freddy stares at me with its oversized lens.

"***I believe it will be much more convenient if we do not lie to one another. On that note, I am Sable. Douglas and Brandon were once like yourself, lost humans seeking a higher cause.***"

His face was now an inch above mine and I could see the machinery whirring in its endoskeleton. I found myself blinded by the red dot as he added "***Now all that matters is whether you are worthy, Mr... ?***"

"Landon." I introduce myself, trying to make myself worthy to this thing's kind--whatever the fuck that's supposed to mean--so I don’t fucking die. Kind? wait, what the fuck am I talking about, these things aren't *alive* aren't they? It's just stories, rumors of ghosts or shit. Maybe it's remote controlled by some guy in the next room?

"***Ahh, Landon. Now, how did you find our facility?***" Sable prods.

"Well, it all started from here…"

As I start to explain [the events on how I got here,](https://www.reddit.com/r/fivenightsatfreddys/comments/cg41b9/f_is_for_fright_the_nightmare_stories_part_4_liar/) he begins to give me a weird look. He seems so intrigued on how I got here. I begin to shake a little, it begins to feel very uncomfortable.

"*This creature is starting to freak me out…*" I think, "*This is jus-*"

"***Creature, you call me now?***" Sable interrupts my thoughts. "***Man considers himself God's finest Creation... if that were so, He would not have given you such fragile, corrupted bodies which "freak out" so easily.***"

Holy. Fuck.

How the hell did he know I was thinking all that???

"***A secret you too shall learn in due time, if you are worthy. Continue with your story***," he responds.

***

"And that’s how I got here, on this table tied up without my Freddy suit." I conclude. "Now can I get out? This is fucking weird."

Sable backs up without a word and just stares intensely at me. It feels as if suddenly all signs of life had left it altogether and that I was finally alone…

And then it turns white.

I open my eyes to see myself in a car. I’m in the backseat, I notice my parents in the front seat laughing. What the fuck? They’re dead! They died in that car cr- … this car crash. This is that car accident. I look outside the window, I see a scruffy-looking man, one eye closed, one eye slightly closed, his mouth open, holding a sign.

#LIAR.

What the… I don’t remember--

"Is everything alright, Lan-Lan?" I hear my dad say. I turn around.

I jump. His face is completely deformed, it’s sickening. I begin to have the urge to throw up. I look away and try opening the door. Child lock is on. Fuck.

"Why are you lying, Landon?" My "dad" asks. "Be honest…"

I look back, he’s gone. My "mom" is gone too. The car is headed towards a wall. I begin to scream.

"**LET ME OU--**"

My life flashes before my eyes, flickering back and forth before stopping at another scene. It was another memory, but at the foster home I was placed in after my parents died. Everybody surrounded me, laughing at me. I look around, I’m in a corner. I begin to go down.

"Look at the wimp!" One of them said, "Pussy!"

They begin to laugh harder. I close my eyes, and it becomes silent. I open my eyes, all of their eyes are glowing red. They’re all full of emptiness. I begin to stand up and try walking away. One of them quickly throws their arm in front of me and pushes me back into the corner.

"Why are you lying to me?" A girl on the left of me asks.

"You know lying doesn’t get you anywhere." A boy on the right of me says.

"Why are you lying?" The teenager in front of me asks.

"Liar!" They all begin to chant. It gets louder and louder and louder and louder… Their faces slowly become distorted and glitchy. The faces start to melt. I begin to cover my face in frustration, I slowly begin to curl into a ball.

"Grrrr…aaaaaaaAAAAAAA"

One face stands out, undistorted. That man… That *THING*… the same one from before… he looks me in the eyes and a single word screams into my head:

***WORTHLESS***

My life flashes again. One memory plays out, then the next, then the next, in rapid succession, over and over again like a flipbook, and always with that man... what the fuck was this?! I find myself at Freddy Fazbear’s Pizzeria, then at home. Memory after memory until it all blurs into a tornado of emotions and all I could do is scream. As I scream, it flickers and it becomes back to normal.

"I’M NOT LYING, I’M NOT LYING, I’M NOT FUCKING LYING!"

I realize that I'm screaming in real life, flailing on the ground with the table completely flipped over. "I TOLD YOU THE FUCKING TRUTH, I JUST WANT TO FUCKING LEAVE, MAN!" I begin to tear up. "I don’t want to stay like this man, my life is a fucking mess.." I cried, "I will do anything to get out of here..."

Sable looms over me like a bully would to a cockroach.

"***Of course not. Your filthy soul lies open before me like a book.***" Sable spits. "***adulterous... sinful... worthless...***"

"I’m NOT WORTHLESS" I scream.

I suddenly gasp as I find myself lifted by the throat by his fingers--his LONG snakelike wires wrapping around me in a chokehold--and he begins to snarl, enraged.

"***DESTROYERS, PLUNDERERS, RAPISTS, UNGRATEFUL INSECTS, YOU HUMANS ARE ALL THE SAME DEEP DOWN. A VIRUS POISONING AND BURNING THROUGH THE EARTH LIKE A CANCER RAVAGES THE BODY. YOU AND YOUR BREAD AND CIRCUSES AND TOYS AND LUSTS... YET YOU ALWAYS WANT MORE, YOU ALWAYS HUNGER. YOU... DARE… PRESUME OTHERWISE?***"

He throws me hard to the floor and I cough, grasping at my throat as he continued.

"***I come not to bring peace, but a sword. I shall cleanse this world of sinners, of which you are foremost,***" he points at me, "***deserving of nothing but the fire like the refuse you are.***"

He lumbers over to me like a terrible machine. *This is it,* I think. *I am going to die right here and get stuffed into an animatronic and left to rot like all those people at Fazbears'.* He towers above and I prepare to accept my death. I shut my eyes.

"***GET UP.***" he commands. Slowly, shakily, I obey, anticipating my gruesome fate. Cold, metallic fingertips click across my face and I wonder why he hasn't crushed my head like an egg yet. He pauses, then let's go; I only open my watering eyes when I hear two footsteps receding.

Sable stands, his spiderleg probes folding backwards in a sickening display as he admires himself. A voice, seeming to come from everywhere, like a whisper, burrows into my head. "***Perhaps you are different... perhaps you can prove your worth after all... you could help me destroy my enemies.***"

I weigh my options, and realize with a sinking gut feeling that I wouldn't make it 21 seconds before Sable mauled me to shreds unless I did as told. "W-what do you want me to do?"

Sable turns around and begins to think. I almost feel bad for Sable. I don't know why or how, it feels like he’s been in pain with people. Something clearly has impacted him a lot. I want to help Sable out. But that won’t work probably. He turns back around.

"***Return in 7 days. I am confident we will find a way to fit you into our objectives.***" Sable pauses before commanding "***Now go.***"

He turns his head to one side then barks out "***Doug!***"

The man in the ocean shirt runs out of the darkness, "Yes boss?"

"***Lead him out…***" then he turns to the other guy. "***Brandon, a word in private…***"

I overhear Sable and Brandon discussing something as we walk out…  something about a college girl.

"***Perhaps his arrival has presented us with a new opportunity in this current… situation. How we will fit him into ALL of this… what we have already planned… Yes… he will do.***" I hear Sable says.

"What if we just move onto the plan instead of having Landon involved?"

Sable clicks in disappointment. "***You humans… unable to see the full picture… No. His arrival was preordained. Providence. A sign. Of what greatness to come, perhaps you will not understand.***"

"Well of course I don’t understand the smartest robot in existence nor anything you do!" Brandon sarcastically responds. "Maybe if you were still a guy then--"

*Yikes.*

Smashing and choking noises startle me enough to turn around to see Sable pinning Brandon to the ground, amidst a splintered table broken in half. Sable is actually glitching and angrier than ever before.

"***YOU DARE REMIND ME OF THAT ROTTED PAST WHICH I HAVE BURIED AND LEFT TO THE WORMS YOU FUCKING SACK OF FLESH?! Now you listen to me and you listen to me FUCKING CLEAR. You are a FOOL for thinking that was funny or at least smart enough to say to me because you’re a FUCKING IDIOT. I will kill you on the spot if you even DEIGN to imply that I was better off human ever again Brandon. You will NOT, and I mean NOT blaspheme me and my creation ever again. Do you understand?***" Sable screeches. "***DO YOU UNDER-FUCKING-STAND?!***"

"Y..yes, b-boss.." Brandon chokes out.

I turn back around and begin to catch up to Doug, but not before one last glimpse at Brandon slowly crawling away from Sable. Sable quickly jerks his head towards me with his eye glowing red, which is my cue to run off.

I end up catching up to Doug who was actually not that far away. He's grabbing something out of a cabinet…

…

MY THINGS!

"I think that’s all of it.." Doug whispers… "Yup, that's all of it!" He proceeds to hand me the items that they and Sable took from me. My Freddy suit, my ID, hell yeah..

He opens a door which shows a flight of stairs leading up to somewhere.

"Welp, that’s your exit my friend." Doug said, "Lemme help you get out."

He goes up the stairs and I, of course, follow him. He proceeds to open up a vault door which opens and I am immediately blinded by a huge amount of sunlight blaring towards my face. I feel like falling.

"Holy fuck dude.." I mutter.

"I know right," He says, "It fucking sucks. Anyway, remember. Be back in a week, let me get your number so I can remember."

"Aight, I gotchu." I respond. He hands me his phone, and I put my phone number in the contact he made.

"Alrighty, thank you!" Doug says in a childish accent, "I’ll call you in a week about it."

He walks back inside and closes the door. I proceed to walk towards my car, covering my eyes to block the sunlight so I can refocus. I place my stuff on top of the car roof, unlock my car door, and toss my things onto the passenger seat. I get inside and close my door. I look closer at my phone... Fuck, 21%. There's a ton of notifications from my boss.

26 missed calls, 19 voicemails, 13 messages. What the fuck does he want?

I call my boss, he immediately fucking answers.

"Landon!" He shouts.

"Yes, what do you want?" I responded.

"Where were you?" He asks, "I need your fucking help right now."

"Long story, hard to explain it all." I respond, "What do you need help with?"

"Come to the office RIGHT NOW, immediately. This is very fucking important and will impact Oculus as a whole."

"And why couldn’t you get somebody else?" I ask.

"BECAUSE I KNOW YOU WOULD HELP, NOW SERIOUSLY COME TO THE OFFICE RIGHT NOW." He screams.

"Fine," I respond, "I’m on my way."
