A glimpse of our enemy
About two weeks had passed before Bon Bon was able to talk to any of the others besides Roxy, Caleb, Jacob and Goldy. The first she talked to was the extremely anxious Bonnie, whom immediately hugged her. None of the group was left alone. Whenever Mike's shift started, two of the animatronics stayed in the office as bodyguards of sorts. All in All, everything was going easy. The twins were playing scrabble. Caleb was winning by a landslide. Mike was on his laptop, checking his favorite sites such as DeviantART. After all, he did do art. In fact, he was amazing. He's even drawn each of the animatronics. Of course, he still did his job.
"Hey guys! Gather together. I wanna draw all of you together." Mike said.
All the animatronics gathered together as Mike took out his drawing tablet and beginning his project. After two and a half hours, the sketch was done and Mike went through the camera's a bit and jumped at the white face that was in front of the camera in in the backstage room, dropping the tablet in the process. The animatronics gather around the guard.
"Are you-" Freddy began before seeing the image that Mike had. "It's out."
Goldie instantly pulled Bon Bon to his chest, Chica and Bonnie guarded Mike, Foxy stood in front of Roxy while Freddy held the twins close. Freddy and Goldie had their eyes trained on the door leading backstage as it slowly creaked open. Mike reached for his flashlight and aimed it before repeatedly turning it on and off, just hoping it would work. Whatever was there left, luckily.
"That was smart. Nice job, bud!" Bonnie praised.
"T-thanks." Mike stuttered.
Bon Bon wandered off, heading towards the basement, the twins following. Goldie stopped them.
"Please don't go to the basement again…"
"Don't worry. I won't. I promise." Bon Bon said softly.
"Thank you, Bon Bon." Goldie sighed, kissing her and walking towards Freddy.
"You two go play with Chica or Roxy, alright?" The pups nod and run off. Bon Bon sighs and turns to the basement and walked down the steps quietly. As she slowly crept down the eerie steps, her eyes shifted around the darkened area. The last time she had been down the steps, she had found out about her family's… hobby. She still couldn't forget about it. Bon Bon felt her feet touch solid ground. Bon Bon gulped as she timidly walked forward a few steps.
"Well, it seems we have a little wanderer." A deep and shallow voice hissed. Bon Bon looked around fearfully, backing towards the stairs. "What are you doing down here all by yourself?" Bon Bon didn't answer but rushed for the steps. Deep and shallow laughter rang through the basement, slamming against the walls. Bon Bon ran up the stairs, completely terrified. The door in front of her suddenly slammed shut, stopping Bon Bon in her tracks.
"Leaving so soon? We've barely begun, sweetheart." the shallow voice said in a taunting tone. Bon Bon was so close to the door that she could touch the door knob. As the blue bunny reached for the knob, her arms we suddenly pulled back. She looked back to see that she was being pulled away from the door by strings. Bon Bon fought against the string, trying to reach the door. Bon Bon yelped as she was thrown backwards. She reached the base step when she was suspended lightly in the air. "We can't have you running away now, can we?" The voice hissed.
"Goldie!" Bon Bon called, hoping the gold bear would hear.
The voice sounded again with an evil chuckle, "That poor golden bear can't hear you down here. Hehe, down here, no one can hear you scream."
"They did before, and I'll be sure they do again!" Bon Bon said with determination. She took a deep breath and screamed as loud as she possibly could. As she did so, her mouth was suddenly covered with more strings, patching around her head. "What a shame, but, I certainly don't want to stand corrected." The voice chuckled. "Come on in, Bon Bon. Let me show you around." Bon Bon smirked to herself. A few seconds was more than enough for anyone to hear. The shallow voice chuckled again as Bon Bon was pulled away, into the darkness of the basement. Upstairs, Bonnie looked up from his guitar and glanced around.
"What the hell was that?" Bonnie mumbled.
"Wha' was wha?" Foxy asked.
"I heard a scream. It was for only a few seconds but it sounded like Bon Bon…" Bonnie said, tapping his guitar in thought.
"Are you sure you weren't just imagining things?" Freddy inquired.
"I'm pretty sure I know Bon Bon's scream, Fazfuck." Bonnie snapped. "Even Goldie would know Bon Bon's scream."
"There's no need to call names, Bonnie. And the only reason why I said that was because you seem to be the only one to have heard this scream." Freddy replied, staying calm.
"For being our leader, you're being a ass! I didn't imagine it and I'll prove it!" Bonnie snapped, standing up.
"Feel free, Bonnie. I don't object." Freddy sighed softly.
"And here I thought you cared about all of us and you still ignore shit that happens under your nose." Bonnie ran towards where he believed was the source of the scream.
"I do care." Freddy responded as he stood up as well. "Bonnie, I'm not sure why you're getting so worked up. It seems to me that you were the only one to hear the scream, which is why I asked if you were imagining it. Please, calm down."
"Fuck no! My sister could be in trouble! I don't have time for this bullshit!" Bonnie yelled, slamming open the backstage room then the basement door. Freddy blinked and looked back at the others.
"Ah, don' worry abou' him, lad. Tha' jus' be how Bonnie ac's when he be stresse'." Foxy stated, waving his hand at the door dismissively. Goldie looked out from the kitchen, a look of worry on his face.
"Hey, Goldie, just to see if I'm right, did you hear any scream that may have sounded like Bon Bon's?" Freddy asked, facing the kitchen.
"I did. She's been gone for a while now." Goldie stated.
Freddy facepalmed and sighed, "Now I really need to apologize to Bonnie. Come on, we'll go see if he found Bon Bon or... " Freddy's voice trailed off before he walked toward the basement door.
"You have a lot of apologizing to do." Goldie stated. "And I won't stop him if he wants to hit you."
"I am aware…" Freddy said, slightly terrified of the gold bear's promise, as he walked down the steps. Goldie teleported to the bottom of the steps to see Bonnie on his knees, frozen.
"Bonnie? Bonnie what is it?" Freddy called the purple bunny softly. Bonnie slowly turned to look at the group, holding a tuft of curly blue fur. Freddy's eyes widened as he stared at the bundle of blue fur in Bonnie's hands.
"Th' lass… was in trouble…" Foxy muttered in shock.
"I l-lost my sister… I'm a horrible brother…" Bonnie muttered, tears spilling from his eyes. Goldie kneeled down and hugged the purple bunny.
"Don't worry. We'll get Bon Bon back. Even if we have to tear this place apart." Goldie said through clenched teeth.
"What could have happened to her?" Chica murmured worriedly.
"Only one thing. That fucking piece of shit damned puppet!" Goldie cursed.
"The puppet, huh?" Freddy snarled softly.
"I swear to whatever human god, I will tear that mother fucking puppet to pieces!" Goldie roared, his eyes shrunk to pinpoints. Freddy took a few steps back, fully aware of how capable Goldie was when he was enraged. Goldie began teleporting around the room, throwing everything that stood in his way across the room. Freddy hung his head, sighing once more. "Puppet! Come and show your plastic face, so I can fucking destroy you!" Goldie roared again. The others urged Bonnie up and ran back up the stairs as Goldie continued his rampage. Freddy looked around from where he stood when he thought about Jacob and Caleb. Instantly, the bear took off as well, searching the restaurant thoroughly to find the twin pups. Freddy arrived in the kitchen, where he found claw marks present on the walls, floors, and counters. Things were also strewn about the area, the room was in a complete mess. The bear's mouth was agape as he observed the horror that surrounded him. He looked downward, being careful not to step onto anything. He looked to a wall to his right, finding words carved into it. Freddy's heart sank when he read the words aloud to himself, "Freddy, please help!" The bear's breathing became heavy and quick before he sprinted out of the kitchen and into the main room. Bonnie sat on the stage with Chica and Mike, still in a state of shock and holding the blue fur. Chica looked up with worry.
"Freddy? What's wrong?" Chica asked softly.
Freddy struggled to catch his breath before he shouted, "Jacob… and Caleb! They're missing!" Roxy and Chica looked horrified and worried.
"Why did we leave them alone? We had made a plan that no one was supposed to be alone." Chica murmured.
"Now we have Bon Bon and the twins missing!" Freddy shouted in panic. Bonnie broke down, crying and holding the blue fur tightly.
"H-how are we going to get them back?" Chica asked, her voice filled with worry.
"Wha' do we do ta ge' 'em back…?" Foxy added.
"Bait. Or find a way to see where this… whatever it is, takes them. That's all I got though." Mike sighed.
"That sounds like a fine plan, but… we need to find a way to execute it…" Freddy sighed.
"I think it might be after the most vulnerable of us. I could be the bait." Mike said. "Would that work?"
"You…? As bait? We couldn't do that to you, Mike." Freddy replied.
"I'm willing to do it. You guys are like family." Mike stated.
Freddy couldn't help but smile at the young man, "Thank you, Mike. Both for your kindness and bravery." Mike rubbed the back of his neck.
"Your welcome. I'm going to need a place to stay anyways. I lost my place yesterday." Mike said.
"And you didn't say anything?" Chica asked.
"You guys don't need to worry about my problems. You've got enough on your, er... paws and wings." Mike said.
"That's so sweet…" Chica murmured. "No human cared for us so much." Mike shrugged.
"Hey, when this is all over, can you do me a favor?" Mike asked, looking at Freddy.
"Um, alright, sure, what is it?" Freddy replied.
"I want you to stuff me. This place is more of a home to me than anywhere." Mike said. All of the animatronics, excluding Bonnie, stared at Mike in shock.
"Y-ye… wan' us ta… stuff ye into a sui'?" Foxy murmured.
"Yeah… Just make it quick and painless." Mike said.
"M-Mike... are you sure you would want to go through with that?" Freddy implored.
"Y-yeah, I'm sure." Mike answered. The animatronics exchanged glances before looking back at Mike, expressions of shock still present on their faces.
"Alright, Mike, if that's what you want." Freddy sighed.
"Thanks, Freddy." Mike said before sitting down.
"Go the heck away you stupid whatever you are!" Roxy yelled from Kid's Cove.
"Lass!" Foxy shouted, standing up instantly "Wha's goin' on!?" Foxy's response was the sounds of obvious struggle. The red fox broke into a sprint toward Kid's Cove. "I'm comin', lass!" Kid's Cove went silent. Foxy ran into the room, his face full of panic. His eyes widened as he found the Cove empty.
"LASS!" He screamed. Chica ran up behind Foxy. "Roxy's gone! Wha' happen'!? Where is she!?"
"We don't know. That's why Mike is going to let the puppet get him. Don't worry." Chica said.
"Wha'!? How will tha' makes thin's better?!" Foxy cried. Chica flinched visibly.
"Foxy! Calm down!" Mike yelled.
"How can I calm down!? Roxy is missin', lad!" Foxy shouted.
We've already got someone rampaging in the basement! I know you're worried, so am I, but calm down!" Mike snapped. Foxy panted softly, trembling slightly. "Go sit down." Foxy nodded, his ears beside his head as he walked back to the main room. Mike sighed and walked back to the crew. "Alright. I'm ready to throw the plan into action." Chica hugged Mike tightly.
"Good luck and be safe, Mikey." The chicken murmured.
"I'll be sure to came back in one piece, Chica." Mike said. Chica let go of Mike.
"We're counting on you, Mike." Freddy told the young man, placing a hand on his shoulder. "And please… come back alive."
"I plan on it. After all, I have a new life to look forward to." Mike said before walking to a secluded spot and waiting. The animatronics all sighed, watching their human friend go.
"If any word describes Mike best… it's brave." Freddy murmured. Mike sat silently, waiting for the puppet to show up.
"Well, well, well, who do we have here?" the puppet cooed, as if on cue.
"Don't talk, asshole." Mike sneered.
"Oh? Someone seems to have a little bravery. Hehe, or foolishness." The puppet replied. Mike gave the puppet a cold glare, "If you're going to kidnap me, get it over with." With that, strings wrapped around Mike and they were gone in an instant.
