Five Nights of Apprehension

Ok guys this is chapter 10 of Five Nights of Apprehension this chapter will contain the final night so the next two chapters will have more with Debby being sad so let's go

Chapter 10: darkness in the corner

Debby was back in the room for her first - second reset and Finn was by her side in normal form, as she looked at him she remembered that Foxy was still in the wardrobe and had an idea "if i get Foxy out will he return to normal and will Finn be alright or will he return to being a plushie?" she thought it over a few times and couldn't help it anymore, she had to try so she asked Finn about it.

Debby: "Finn, i want some extra help, i think we can get Opal and Ashe back if we can get the pearl shard that has melted into Plushtrap's body, but i want Foxy to help us, if i'm right the last nightmare we face is Nightmare himself, man if only Nights was here then we'd be in business"

Finn: "do not worry Debby i can hold my form without Foxy's help, it is only when i'm a plushie do i need him, you can let him out"

Debby: "really oh that's great, i'll just need the key and we're set"

Debby looked around the room for the key but couldn't find it anywhere, she looked under the bed, in the bedside table, the drawers, even the cabinet but it wasn't there, then Debby remembered that Foxy locked himself in from the inside and must have the key with him, but if that's the case then how are they going to get the key if Foxy is a plushie and can't move.

Debby had to ask Foxy if he had the key, or find another way to get into the wardrobe.

Debby: "hey Foxy, do you have the key in there with you?"

Plush Foxy: "yes, it's right here"

Debby: "oh good, don't suppose you can push it under the door can you?"

Plush Foxy: "nope sorry, can't move"

Debby: "damn it, there has to be a way of getting that key over to me"

Finn: "well you seem to have grown your imagination since first coming here, maybe you can imagine the key slide under the door"

Debby: "that may just work"

Finn: "try it"

So Debby concentrated on moving the key towards her, at first nothing happened but after a few more tries the key started to shake then move under the door, Debby grabbed the key and unlocked the wardrobe and Foxy transformed not into his nightmare form but the form he had at the new Freddy Fazbear's.

Foxy: "whoa i'm me again... well the me that is lost in an animatronic longing for peace"

Debby: "then that just proves that the true Nightmare is here and out there"

Foxy: "Nightmare is here, oh great that means you'll die and me and my friends are going to be lost in the darkest part of the void for another 29 years, i'm sorry all this has happened to you"

Debby: "it's alright, despite the fact that you killed my son i've actually had fun fighting you guys off and trying to work out your mystery, it's more fun then i've had in years, sorry Garth but you are just too much of a father to be a kid no matter how much you try, but that's why i love you"

Foxy: "so what now?"

Finn: "Debby said she needed you to help get Opal and Ashe back, will you help?"

Foxy: "yeah of course"

So they went down the hall on the right this time, as they walked they looked out the windows, and saw what looked like a memory, Debby remembered that the plushies said that the house they are in was Freddy's and out the window was a scene of anger and sadness, they saw a young boy getting belt lashed by the father, Debby guessed the father was a drunk waste of space and the poor kid was Freddy before he was murdered, the kid pleaded for the man to stop but he was blinded by rage, Debby couldn't watch any more it almost looked like Garth was belt lashing Jake.

As the trio of Human, Fox and Wolf walked on Debby could hear Jake again calling out for help but this time his voice was different, lower pitch by an octave and sounding very much disappointed.

Jake: "mum, where were you?"

Debby: "Jake? What's wrong?"

Jake: "you are what's wrong, i called out to you but you never came"

Debby: "Jake, i'm sorry i've been trying to wake up, i need to stop dreaming so i can morn you and grieve, but i have to defeat one last nightmare"

Jake: "no you said you'd be there for me i don't want you to grieve cus i'm still here, i'm still floating around in space, not able to touch you or feel your love, what happens to me, will i be lost forever with no one to even know that i'm here?"

Dabby: "i'll know you're here, i'll know you're dead and it will tear me up just to know that i love you and you're not there to hug or to love"

Nightmare: "and when you feel the loneliness i will not be there to comfort you"

Debby: "Jake, wait, you're not Jake you're the black Bear known as Nightmare, oh crap i was right, you won't take me i'll live on with Jake in my heart and determination in my soul"

Nightmare: "oh you go ahead my dear, determined souls are the most delicious, i'll turn you inside out before you take your own life, then i'll feed on your soul"

Debby: "what are you the Grim Reaper?"

Nightmare: "in a sense yes, but i'm more like a dream eater, i kill you in your dreams"

Debby then came back from the vision and back into the hall, she ran off for the room where plushtrap lay, his body now a mess as the pearl shard had melted through his chest and the fur around the hole burnt or charred, Debby explained to Foxy and Finn that Nightmare is indeed here and after them so she went for the shard but it burnt her too.

Even though Opal and Ashe didn't want to hurt Debby and their pearl forms were created by her, she still had to obey but the laws she governed so instead Finn picked up the shard, it didn't burn him because he was stronger and he was governed by a different set of rules from Debby so he could grab the shard with no problems.

Now they have the pearl shard they needed to find a way of letting it grow back into Opal and Ashe, but that meant going through one of the halls again and possibly facing Nightmare, at this point though Debby was getting tired and just wanted to wake up and see the real world again so they just went down the left hall maybe Nightmare was still behind them, but then again the Bear seems to have a strange grasp of shadows and can phase through anything as long as it's a shadow.

It was dark in the halls but light was coming from a dim lamp on a table that, meant as they walked past it there would be shadows on the wall and a possible Nightmare confrontation but there was nothing, almost like he wanted them to bring back Opal and Ashe just to show off his power, but Debby was all for it, she had already dispatched Plushtrap, how hard could Nightmare be.

They got into the room and needed to find a way of getting the pearl to grow but where, Debby had an idea.

Debby: "Finn, place the shard in the wardrobe then lock it"

Finn: "are you sure?"

Debby: "yes, i think it will let the shard grow back into Opal and Ashe, if it can give you power maybe the same can be said for them"

Foxy: "interesting idea but how long will it take?"

Debby: "i don't know, i hope not too long"

Finn placed the shard in the wardrobe and locked the door, at first nothing seemed to happen but after a few seconds there was a mix of pink and blue light getting brighter, but with light comes shadows and Nightmare can form from shadows and phase from one to another, he phased behind them and started to creep up on them, if he catches them now they will be destroyed forever and if he catches Debby now she will die for real never to see Jake again.

Nightmare got closer and closer not taking any notice of the light coming from the wardrobe, why would he they're in the palm of his hands, but just as he was ready to strike the light grow too bright, then Opal and Ashe came bursting out of the wardrobe letting the doors go flying, one hit Nightmare square in the face and he feel over, Opal and Ashe stood ready to defend Debby and help defeat Nightmare.

Debby: "thanks guys"

Opal: "no problem"

Ashe: "any time"

Foxy: "so, what's the plan now?"

Debby: "well, i want to wake up now, this dream is over, i know my son is dead and defeating Plushtrap didn't bring him back, so what's the likely hood of him coming back at all"

Nightmare: "none, he's gone, dead, never to see the sun again, you should give up too"

Debby: "no, i need to wake up and you are keeping me asleep"

Nightmare: "ah very good detective, but you cannot beat me, i'll keep you asleep and feed on your soul, then you'll die and i will move on to the next poor soul"

Debby: "no, i'll beat you and wake up, it's time to grieve, Opal, Ashe, it's pearl time"

Opal and Ashe: "yeah!"

So Opal and Ashe got ready and shot so shards at Nightmare but he was quick for a Bear, able to dodge and weave like he was a Mongoose or a Chipmunk, using the shadows he was able to phase behind them, Opal and Ashe tried to stay on their toes, they knew that in pearl form they emit light and if Nightmare can use shadows to phase out the way then they'd need to look every were, Debby was debating making them go back to normal then Nightmare can't phase, no shadows, no phasing but then he would have more than enough power and strength to end them in one hit.

Then Nightmare appeared and started using his own power, darkness, he shot two black orbs at Opal and Ashe and they hit with terrifying force yet they weren't destroyed, Debby went up to them to see if they were alright but as she got close they opened there eyes, what Debby saw she could only describe as the silver eyes, they looked at her and gave her a sick grin like they had been possessed or brain washed.

Foxy grabbed Debby and pulled her back then stood in front of her to protect her, Debby didn't know what to do, the two guardian angels she had the best connection to were now trying to hurt her, she was dumbstruck and needed to think.

Foxy: "Debby, use your imagination again, give me a power like what you did for Opal, Ashe and Finn"

Finn: "indeed use your imagination, let's see what you can come up with in this situation"

Debby: "eh... imagination, ok let's see a red Fox pirate, ok how about this"

Suddenly Foxy seemed to catch fire but it wasn't burning him as he was the fire and with that Foxy slashed his hook in the air to create a wave of fire, the wave hit Opal and Ashe but it was too powerful and destroyed them, their quartz scattered everywhere and all over the floor the pieces now too small to be re grown, Debby was sorry to have to have done that but if Opal and Ashe could get brain washed then it had to be done.

Now that Foxy was a source of light Nightmare could phase around him and take him out as well, he phased through a shadow of the bed and rushed Foxy ready to possibly brain wash him too, but he didn't account for the fact that Foxy was now made of fire since he wasn't coursing the carpet floor to burn, he got burnt and Debby started to wake up, but it would take more than that to see the morning sun.

Debby noticed that Foxy may be the best chance of beating Nightmare so she boosted his power a bit and he got hotter, Foxy started shooting fire balls and slashing the air to make fire waves, Nightmare was having a hard time dodging everything coming his way but when Foxy finally hit him it was something he wished he didn't do, when a fire ball hit Nightmare his dark body simply absorbed it and turned it black then Nightmare shot it back as a darkness wave and when that hit Foxy he lost his fire form and the darkness covered his body and short circuited him.

The only one left was Finn, Debby gave him his rock form and hoped he would be able to win, "i have faith in you Finn, please don't let me down" Debby thought and Finn could sense the urgency, so he started to walk up to Nightmare, with no more lights Nightmare was forced to stay materialised and could be seen by his blood red eyes, Finn stood tall and looked down on Nightmare, but Nightmare wasn't intimidated as he was still stronger and started by using telekinesis, throwing Finn around, Finn stayed strong it would take more than just some minor damage to bring Finn down, Nightmare lost where Finn was which meant Finn was free, he took this chance to start shooting rocks at Nightmare and he took some damage.

Nightmare was starting to lose some strength despite being a creature of dreams he is capable of getting tired which happens very fast for him so he was ready to end this quick, but as he ran up to Finn he was blocked by Finn raising a bolder out of the ground to stop him, he tried to get around it but Finn kept on moving it, Nightmare was getting angry so he smashed the bolder and used his darkness power to punch Finn.

Finn took the punch and took massive damage, he started to crack and was about to be destroyed but Debby was losing it, she was tired of this and gave Finn his final form, magma form, he was now very hot and sticky but also he emits light so Nightmare can use shadows to phase, Debby was keeping her fingers crossed that he can win.

Finn mad the first move by covering some rock in lava he can throw it and it will stick to Nightmare even if he phases it will continue to damage him till it falls off, Finn throw some of the lava covered rocks and some did hit Nightmare but he seemed unscathed by them and phased through some shadows, but as they stayed on his body that damage was getting worse, he could feel it burning him and couldn't take the pain.

He phased out and rushed Finn trying to turn him into slush but the heat from his body was too much, he was starting to think he'd meet his match but then he remembered a move he had only used once before, it's called dark abyss and it covers the whole room, he covered to room and Finn and Debby where shrouded in darkness, it looked just like the void as they couldn't see or hear anything.

Finn was starting to weaken as the darkness was closing in around him, Debby could see that Finn was growing dark and soon he was gone, then the darkness subsided and Debby could see the room again but no Finn.

Debby: "Finn? Finn where are you?"

Nightmare: "he is no more, he will now move on like the rest"

Debby: "move on, where?"

Nightmare: "a nice little place on top of a hill where they will have to fight the purple guy one last time, many friend ships will be tested and possibly destroyed"

Debby: "well they are Mike's friends but i still want them back, bring them back to me so i can say goodbye"

Nightmare: "you can say that to them yourself"

Nightmare then struck Debby down so she would fall on her knees and was ready to bite her just like what happened to Jake, Debby was just too tired now and she just gave up, she couldn't think of a way out of this she had used up all her life lines and she didn't really think she could use her imagination on herself to be more awesome, so she just let Nightmare do his job and feel on her soul.

He was so close she could feel the in trepidation of death nearing, but just as she was ready to say goodbye a small person made of pure light stopped Nightmare and he coward away, the person stood in defence of Debby and she was in awe of how brave they were.

Debby: "who... who are you?"

Jake: "mum, it's me"

Debby: "Jake! How, how are you here"

Jake: "i found a way out of that place and came to find you, i saw you giving up and you needed help so i tried to be brave just so i could save you and now i'm an angle"

Debby: "no, you're my angle and i don't want you to go"

Jake: "i have to though, this is my duty now, to save those in need and protect people in life and in dreams, you can wake up now, Nightmare i nothing to me"

Debby: "no Jake i'm not going without you"

Jake: "you don't have a choice"

Debby then finally woke up from a long nightmare, she looked at the clock, 12:00 pm, she'd been asleep for hours but she still felt tired yet after a night like that she wasn't going to sleep any time soon, the day was going to be hard with only Garth to talk to about the whole thing would he understand, would he appreciate the trouble and pain she's been through, who knows tomorrow is another day.

So that was chapter 10 of Five Nights of Apprehension hope you liked it and that you'll come back for more, like i said the next two chapters will focus on Debby's grief so i hope you'll be ok with that as when i read other fnaf fanfics i like to see some action from the animatronics not other stuff so we'll see what happens so till next time.
