Fazbear Entertainment reopened their pizzeria in the year 1987 with a new line-up of "toy" animatronic mascots:

• Toy Freddy
•

Toy Bonnie

• Toy Chica (used to serve cake to the children)

• The Mangle (used as a puzzle game for children to play)

• BB (used to greet customers and hand them balloons)

These new characters were designed to restore customer confidence with the company as they were fitted with new security technology, namely facial recognition and electronic access to a criminal database of known predators. These features were included to reassure customers that their children would be safe from predators in the new and improved Freddy Fazbear's Pizza.

The Puppet was brought back since she was the only original character who never received complaints from customers, and she was tied to an electronic rail system that would allow her to move throughout the building and give prizes to children.

The original mascots were initially going to be repaired and reused in the pizzeria, but their odour and creepy look caused the company to simply keep them hidden away in the Parts and Services room to be used for spare parts wherever necessary. They were initially retro-fitted with some of the newer technology, though they were never fully repaired and this is what kept the characters "alive," or at least that was the official explanation for their strange behaviour.

Staff began to notice that the Puppet would move through the premises at night when she should have remained in the Prize Corner, and they theorized that the Puppet would be drawn to any sounds it would hear at night since there would be no children at the pizzeria at night, and so she would think that she was in the wrong room and would go to where the sound was coming from in order to try and find any nearby kids to entertain. This theory stemmed from the fact that the Puppet would sometimes be drawn to the Mangle's distorted noises at night, and so a music box was placed next to the Puppet in the Prize Corner in order to "pacify" her and keep her in her rightful place at night.

The Mangle was originally intended as a replacement for Foxy the Pirate, except that it wasn't quite as robust as the other characters and children would often take it apart, thus the pizzeria just decided to leave the Mangle in pieces and market it as a "put-it-back-together" puzzle game for the kids to play. The name "The Mangle" was coined by a member of staff since the character was always mangled up from the kids not putting it back together properly.

There were also complaints of the animatronics going into the night guard's office, thus the first night guard was moved over to the day shift and Jeremy Fitzgerald was hired as the new night guard.

Of course, the Purple Man returned once again and killed five more children at the pizzeria except this time their bodies were actually found by the police. Since their bodies could not be stuffed into the plastic toy characters as they did not use the same metal endoskeletons as the old characters, (the clue to this theory is in FNAF1's Night 5 phone call, the scrambled audio is an excerpt from a passage that describes the concept of metal having a life force that allowed it to be used as a body that housed a soul, similar to the human body) the bodies were hidden in the back room, but the Puppet picked them up and placed them throughout the restaurant to expose Purple Man's crime to authorities (hence the "SAVE THEM" mini-game, the Puppet was saving the dead kids from being stuck in limbo with her and the other possessed animatronics). Since their bodies were found, these kids' souls found peace in the afterlife and they got to go and continue the party they were having before they were murdered, thus they were able to rest in the afterlife.

Authorities deduced from surveillance footage that the dayshift guard was the murderer and that he used the classic Golden Freddy spring costume in order to lure the five children into the safe room at the back of the building and murder them without being noticed. Since customers and other animatronics were not allowed to enter the safe room, this would be the perfect place for the Purple Man to commit the murders. The Purple Man was also aware that the spring locks within the costume had become faulty due to their advanced age, and so he tore out the spring locks and endoskeleton so that he could safely wear the suit and conceal his identity. Since he could've used the safe room to do this without being seen, it's possible that the kids were murdered during the day and that the dayshift guard was framed based on the fact that he would've been the only guard there at the time of the murders. Perhaps the real Purple Man was never questioned and authorities pinned it on the dayshift guy since he would be in the office at the back of the building, thus allowing him easy access to both the Golden Freddy suit and to the safe room. Purple Man must've entered the building through the back to avoid being noticed and also to make it easier for him to reach the safe room, and he must've being wearing the same uniform as the dayshift guard in order to further incriminate him.

The real Purple Man had gotten away clean, though it is clear that he was more than likely an employee of Freddy Fazbear's Pizza since he must've had knowledge of the safe room and of the Golden Freddy suit.

Due to the fact that a Golden Freddy spring costume was used by the killer, the company banned all employees from wearing the suits in order to prevent another tragedy of this nature from happening within the establishment. Since the suits were known for having faulty spring locks, the company's official story was that the child deaths were caused by the faulty suit. The company instructed Phone Guy to sell this story and instruct all employees in the pizzeria's sister location - the FNAF1 pizzeria - to keep the suits stored in the safe room and to never wear them under any circumstances. The company did this to try and prevent the true cause of the child deaths from being known at the location of the FNAF1 pizzeria since its employees might hear about the killings in the FNAF2 pizzeria and share the story with their family and friends, so this was a business move done by Fazbear Entertainment as they were desperate to keep their customers at this point.

It is possible that Purple Guy actually worked at the FNAF1 pizzeria since the two pizzerias were around at the same time as each other, and that he decided to murder children at the FNAF2 pizzeria to make it harder for authorities to link the killings to him. It would be foolish of him to murder his victims at his own work place, don't you think?
