## Nightmare's life as a human (1983)

Nightmare was previously a human who worked at Fredbear's family dinner in 1983 as a technician. He was fired from his job after the Nightguard sabotaged one of the animatronics, causing the blame to fall on him. the loss of his job caused him mental issues, and after he turned violent toward his family, his wife kicked him out of his home. While homeless, he decided to return to the Diner and kill the Nightguard who got him fired by programming Fredbear to attack him. The plan went wrong and Fredbear ended up attacking and killing him, instead of the Nightguard. Fazbear entertainment covered up his death and kept the body in the pizzeria's storage.

## Becoming Nightmare (Frebear's family dinner)

The technician was filled with so much anger and hatred that his soul got out of his body and entered The Artifact, which gave him a powerful body. Nightmare tried to use it but ended up making a mistake that caused his soul to split into 4 parts. 3 parts went into Fredbear, Springbonnie and Puppet, giving them life. The fourth part was what Nightmare used to roam the place until it was closed in 1985 (estimated).

## Freddy Fazbear's pizza I

When the new pizzeria opened, Freddy, Bonnie, Chica and Foxy were created. The Puppet split his part of the soul into smaller parts to give life to the new animatronics, this time, the last part of the soul entered Freddy's head, and due to it being too weak, it couldn't take control and Nightmare was trapped in Freddy's head for more than 30 years. After an incident, the place was closed as well and shortly after, a new Freddy Fazbear's Pizza was opened in 1987.

## Freddy Fazbear's pizza II

Puppet kept splitting his soul to give life to the new Toy animatronics, who were built as replacements for the previous ones. While still being trapped in Freddy's head, he took the form of Shadow Freddy. Mangle found the Artifact which was hidden in the pizzeria, and after touching it, Shadow Freddy revealed himself to him. He took advantage of the fact that she was upset because of the bad treatment she was getting from the humans, and offered to help him get free and take over the corrupted humanity. she agreed and they began their long plan. Their objective was to cause the pizzeria to be closed, so they would move back to The first pizzeria, where they can take his parts of the soul and get out of Freddy's head. Golden Freddy had a conflict with the Puppet, so he took it to his advantage, and eventually, it ended up with the Toy animatronics and Puppet dying, Golden freddy and the withered getting shut down, and Mangle killing the Nightguard. His death caused the second pizzeria to close, and 6 years later in 1993, they were moved to a third Freddy fazbear's pizza, unlike what Shadow Freddy and Mangle planned.

## Freddy fazbear's pizza III

6 years passed and a new place opened, the company decided to repair the withered animatronics and Golden Freddy and put the Toy animatronics and the Puppet's bodies downstairs in the basement. Everyone ended up making peace with each other, and Golden Freddy revived Puppet, who revived the Toys as well. at the new place, Mangle and Shadow Freddy kept trying to bring everyone to the first location. They decided to use Springbonnie who was trapped in the basement unable to move, in order to get the current place to close as well. Mangle was able to get to him and created a device that she implanted in his head so Shadow Freddy could control him. in 2016, They were able to destroy everyone and close the pizzeria, but again, they failed to reach the first location, and instead, the company opened a new attraction called Fazbear's fright, with Springbonnie, or with his new name "Springtrap" as the main attraction.

## Fazbear's fright

All of the Animatronics were still alive in the storage of the new place. Some of them became Phantoms who lost their memories and obeyed Springtrap's orders, while the others remained normal. Shadow Freddy met Bonnie in a dream, using Golden Freddy's form. He told him what to do about Springtrap, the phantoms, and Golden Freddy, and told him how to save Toy chica, who was dying because of the damage Springtrap did to her. Shadow Freddy couldn't afford to let anyone die yet because it would prevent him from taking a part of his soul. Each animatronic had to enter one of the phantom's memories to bring them back. The one who entered Freddy's memories and met Shadow Freddy was Toy chica. Shadow Freddy introduced himself as a creature who's supposed to stop the release of Nightmare, he told her his story and revealed the existence of the traitor, but denied knowing it was Mangle. eventually, Springtrap set the place on fire which caused the owners to move everyone to the first location.

## Back to Freddy fazbear's pizza I, The release of Nightmare

Everyone reunited in the first pizzeria, Springtrap was freed from Shadow Freddy's control and joined them, and Shadow Freddy and Mangle were finally able to make bigger progress. In 2020, Mangle programmed an Endoskeleton to confront Freddy in the kitchen and release Shadow Freddy from his head. After being freed, he got out of the kitchen, and to the main room everyone gathered. He took parts of his soul from everyone and changed to his Nightmare form. While he summoned the other Nightmare animatronics, Golden Freddy, Toy chica, Toy Freddy, Puppet, Bonnie, and Springtrap, escaped and locked themselves in the kitchen. Freddy, Chica, Toy bonnie, Foxy, BB, and JJ were too weak to escape with them and got left behind as Nightmare's prisoners.

Nightmare commanded his new minions to force the kitchen door but they were unable to catch them in time, they used Golden Freddy's old teleporter to escape. He was only able to throw his sword at Bonnie as he was going through the portal at the last second before it closed, killing him. Nightmare spent a while in the first pizzeria, while his minions were trying to figure out how to activate the teleporter so they can kill the rest of the animatronics before proceeding to the next step of the plan. Eventually, they figured out the access was blocked and only permitted to the animatronics by Golden Freddy, so he manipulated Toy Bonnie by causing him to plan an escape, and activate the teleporter by himself, only to kill him right away. The plan succeeded and all the Nightmares reached the second Pizzeria.

## The attack on Freddy Fazbear's pizza II

He sent Nightmare Mangle to deal with Springtrap, while he was dealing with Toy Freddy and Puppet who were blocking the first hallway to the office. They programmed the lifeless Rockstar animatronics they found in the place to attack him, but Nightmare easily destroyed them all, killing both Toy Freddy and Puppet. He reached his final targets, Toy Chica, and Golden Freddy. They were planning to activate the teleporter, for Toy Chica to leave and find a way to defeat Nightmare. Plushtrap sneaked in one of the vents and sabotaged it without being noticed, trapping the two with the Nightmares. Golden Freddy told Toy Chica to run to the teleporter, which randomly opened, but Nightmare threw his sword at her, and Golden Freddy jumped to get hit instead. Nightmare provoked Toy Chica as he was dying on the floor, and she approached and punched him. He punched back with much more strength, and eventually, he beat her up and heavily damaged her. Nightmare didn't pay attention to her afterward, which resulted in her escaping using the time travel device he didn't notice. Only Plushtrap was able to jump into the teleporter after her. Her escape made him so upset, that he ripped Golden Freddy's head off, and punched Nightmare Bonnie.

They all returned to the main room, where Nightmare Mangle defeated Springtrap but ended up blind. He killed her, explaining that failure must be punished. Then a portal suddenly opened, throwing Plushtrap out. Nightmare was upset again that he was not able to kill her, but he let Plushtrap live because he needed him. Mangle teleported to the place and told Nightmare that he was absent for 3 weeks, and during that time the police sent special forces to check on the first location. Nightmare was shocked, but then he remembered how Toy Bonnie apparently was able to cause this sabotage before he killed him.

## Back to Freddy Fazbear's pizza I again

They went back to take care of the problem, and before they began executing the plan, Mangle had something to show him. Nightmare BB was dead in the locker room. He got decapitated but Mangle fixed his head. He didn't think much of it, and when Plsuhtrap accused Mangle of killing him, he knew that it was impossible due to the limits of the powers he gave her. Thanks to the security cameras, Mangle was able to expose who really killed him. She showed him a picture of Toy Chica walking through the main room and figured out that she possessed a weapon that can kill them. Ironically, Shadow Freddy concluded that Nightmare BB was unworthy of living if he could not kill Toy Chica. He wanted the body destroyed, but Plsuhtrap offered to use it for AI testing instead. He agreed, and before he left the room, Mangle asked him if he is concerned about Toy Chica and her ability to kill them. Just like before, he refused to admit she is a threat and was certain that he will easily find and kill her. She thought that he killed everyone in the assault on Freddy Fazbear's Pizza II and he angrily informed her that not everything went according to plan. He then went to the office to deal with the cops. They went to their position and killed all the surprised cops without any struggle. They used the corpses to create a murder mystery, by immobilizing the imprisoned animatronics and positioning them next to the corpses, so it would look like they are the murderers.

## The factory

While the police were busy investigating the murder of the cops in Freddy Fazbear's Pizza I, the Nightmares teleported to, and took over a nearby factory, brainwashed all the workers, and used it to create an army that consists of a variety of soldier types such as: "Hunters", "Destroyers" and "Keepers" His plan succeeded and he waged war all over the world and used human souls to provide life for all of his soldiers as his army was massive. The war continued for 100 years until the incidents of the past came back to hunt him in 2120.

## 100 years later

Nightmare overused his powers, and as a result, he was no longer able to provide immortality to all of his soldiers, only leaving this ability for himself. After 100 years in 2120, he is again seen in the first location, as one of his Hunter soldiers came to report to him about an anomaly they detected near the city. At first, he showed no interest in it, but then the Hunter added that it was related to time travel. Nightmare was shocked by this information, as he remembered how Toy chica escaped with a time machine 100 years ago. He told the Hunter to keep him informed of the progress.
