Night 4: Kidnapped
"Rise and shine, sleepyhead!" A girly voice said.
Riku woke up and felt a restrained feeling. He couldn't get up and there was tightness around his wrists and ankles. When he opened his eyes, everything was still dark.
"What the-" Riku got cut off by the sound of footsteps slowly coming towards him. He panicked and struggled to get free. His blindfold got removed, and he squinted his eyes trying to see his captor against the glare of lights shining down on him.
His vision cleared and a brown animatronic bear looked over him and grinned. Riku scowled back.
Freddy kept smiling, "I hope my friends treated you well?"
"Yeah, nothing's better than getting knocked out, being tied up to a chair and blindfolded." Riku said sarcastically.
"Oh, good. That was my idea."
Sarcasm is wasted on animatronics. Riku amended.
The golden bear appeared. She smiled.
"Oh good! He's awake! How are you?"
"Great." He said sarcastically.
"GOOD! Now for introductions! My name is Goldie!"
"Eh, Goldie? How about you get the preparations set up?" Freddy said.
"YAAAY!" She said.
Freddy watched her leave, then turned back to Riku. His smile had melted into a scowl.
"Let's talk. Just us men." He said icily.
"Ok?" Riku said.
"Listen here, if you haven't noticed, Goldie is in love, with you."
"Ok...wait are you mad? Is she your girlfriend?"
"Heck no! Goldie is my little sister."
"Awkward..." Riku said.
"Listen here. If you break her heart, I'LL BREAK YOUR FACE! AM I CLEAR?"
"Yes sir." Riku squeaked.
"Good!" Freddy said, suddenly he was back to being his happy self. "Now, about your friends…"
Riku's eyes widened and he looked around to see if Sora and Kairi are okay. But sadly he couldn't find them anywhere.
"Where are my friends?! What did you do with them?! Answer me you stupid bear! Or I'll-"
Before Riku could finish his threat, Freddy grabbed him by the collar and pulled him forward along with the chair and he met his angry gaze.
"Or what? Remember who you're dealing with here, and also who's the one tied up? You should know better than to provoke me, boy..."
Freddy let Riku go and he fell back.
Freddy cleared his throat, "Now then, as I was saying before I was oh so rudely interrupted-"
Riku glared at him.
"Your friends are absolutely fine and have been left unharmed… for now anyway."
"Where are they?" Riku asked trying to keep his cool.
"Details."
"Tell me!"
Freddy rolled his eyes and sighed. "Well…"
Kairi? Kairi!
Kairi moaned.
KAIRI, WAKE UP!
Kairi jolted awake. She found herself unable to move, she struggled but it was no use. She looked around but saw nothing but black.
Psst. Mangle? Are you there?
Did you not just hear me yell, "KAIRI, WAKE UP!"?
Alright, alright… But can you see anything?
Sadly, no. My night vision is not very good unlike the other animatronics'. It's been a bit glitchy lately.
I thought you were a ghost.
I have limitations.
Then suddenly the lights turned on which immediately blinded Kairi. She squinted to find herself in a curtained room. The curtains were purple and glittery with a star pattern.
Oh no, I know exactly where this is.
Pirate Cove… Kairi groaned. But that means-
"Hello, lass."
Kairi shivered recognizing the staticy voice. She slowly turned her head to meet Foxy's one-eyed gaze.
He flipped his eyepatch up and said, "My, my. Aren't ye be lookin' lovely this evenin'."
Oh no! Mangle what should I do?!
Just go with it, I'll figure out some way to get you out of there…
Kairi forced a fake smile, "Right, back atcha."
"I sure hope yer feelin'… comfortable." Foxy gave a low growl in her ear which sent a cold chill down her spine.
Ack! No, please no! Mangle, do something!
Sigh, I didn't want have to do this but…
"Foxy!" Mangle's voice boomed.
The fox lifted his head up, he looked around to find the source of the voice.
"Mangle? Where are ya?" Foxy asked.
Then at that point a messed up-looking animatronic jumped down from the ceiling, scaring the life out of Kairi. The animatronic was too confusing to make out, Kairi couldn't tell its arms from its legs. All it was was an endoskeleton whose parts were obviously put in the wrong place. It had a white and pink fox head with one eye missing, and there was also another head sticking out of its neck but looked more like an endoskeleton skull who also had an eye missing.
"Mangle?" Kairi said.
"Mangle?" Foxy said.
"That's my name, don't wear it out." Mangle said flippantly.
"Lassie, what are ye doin' here?" Foxy asked.
"Nothing much, creeping people out. Crashing a marriage. Oh, hi Kairi! What's up?"
"Nothing mu- WAIT DID YOU SAY 'CRASHING A MARRIAGE'?!"
"How else do you explain the wedding dress?"
Kairi looked down and to her utter shock, she was wearing a white dress.
"HOW DID THIS HAPPEN?!" Kairi yelled.
"You go very limp when you be out." Foxy said.
"You… I'M GONNA KILL YOU! YOU PERVERT!"
"Don't lose yer head. Chica did it." Foxy clarified.
"And Chica is female." Mangle added.
"Well…"
Also, you talk a lot.
I do?
You talked about Sora a lot too.
I did?! When?!
Yes, when you were unconscious.
Great…
Foxy was quite pissed. Chica was as well, for reasons I cannot understand.
Chica?!
Yes, my guess is that she's in love with Sora.
"Unbelievable… First Goldie falls in love with Riku, Foxy falls in love with me, and now Chica has fallen in love with MY MAN!"
Uh, Kairi?
What?
You said that last part out loud…
Oops…
Kairi laughed nervously. Foxy just narrowed his eyes at her.
She be talkin' about that boy again… He thought. If Chica wasn't so interested in him, I'd be stuffin' him to oblivion! Bonnie also be doin' that. That rabbit be crazy.
"Psst... Hey! Wake up!" A feminine voice said shaking Sora.
"Ow… my head…" Sora groaned.
He opened his eyes and saw that he was tied up. "Oh, great." Sora looked up to see an angry face right in front of him. "GAH!"
The face backed away which revealed to belong to Bonnie. Sora was then able to get a good view of where he was, he was in what looked like a kitchen.
Bonnie looked daggers at him, "Chica, are you sure I can't kill him?"
"NO!" Chica shouted.
"Why not?! It's our job!"
"Because."
"Why?!"
"I don't want to."
"That's not a good reason!"
"Um, can I say something?" Sora said cutting in.
"NO!" Chica and Bonnie shouted. Sora flinched.
Bonnie and Chica turned back to each other, "C'mon, Bonnie! The redhead and the silver-haired one are being spared, it would be unfair to kill this one."
"And yet, you actually wanted to kill the redhead."
"When?!" Chica squeaked, embarrassed.
"When she started talking in her sleep!" Bonnie stated.
"How would you know that?"
"I saw you scowl at her when she said, 'Sora, please come back… I love you.' Or something like that, when you and Goldie changed her."
Sora's eyes widened. Did she really say that? Is it true? Does she really love me?
A smile began to creep up on Sora's mouth. Chica noticed this and shot him a glare. His smile disappeared and changed to a scared expression.
Dang, she's scary!
He shuddered.
"Face it, you like him! Freddy is not going accept this! Just wait until he finds out when I tell him, not just about you but also about Foxy!"
"What's your problem?! I thought you would support me, like you always do! But now you're acting like a jerk! Just like Freddy! I'm not sure we can even be friends anymore!"
Bonnie's eyes widened and a hurt expression was on his face. Chica stormed out of the room with tears.
"Chica, wait! I-I…" Bonnie trailed off and he slumped down onto a chair and put his face into his hands. "I didn't mean it…"
Well, this just got awkward…
"Hey! Why don't you just let me go! Then you can stop fighting with her!"
Bonnie snapped his angry gaze towards Sora. "Because, she likes you! And not me!"
"B-b-but I'm human, and she's a animatronic duck."
"SHE'S NOT A DUCK! SHE'S A CHICKEN!" Bonnie roared.
"Chicken. Whatever. But my point still stands!"
"You don't get it, do you? We have been alone for who knows how long! Don't you think the reason they fall in love with you guys is because they're lonely? We were human once!"
"What? What do you mean?" Sora questioned.
"This is why Chica, Goldie, and Foxy fell in love with you, Riku, and Kairi! They have memories of their life and I… I don't remember anything! NOTHING! Freddy helps every now and then but no matter how hard I try I can't remember! Chica remembers a lot and even Goldie! Goldie remembers everything! And she's 6! 6! DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND?!"
Sora stared as Bonnie breathed heavily after his rant. "Wow… I didn't realize you had it rough. I'm sorry."
Bonnie sighed. "All I remember is his face."
"Whose?" Sora asked.
"The Purple Man." Bonnie said darkly.
"The Purple Man?" Sora repeated.
"Yes. We call him that because of his uniform. It was purple. He… was our murderer."
There was a small silence.
"One question." Sora finally said breaking the stillness.
"What?" Bonnie asked.
"Why am I in a tux?"
Bonnie grimaced, "Because Chica was planning on marrying you…"
"SAY WHAT NOW?!" Sora screeched.
"I helped get the thing on you, much to my chagrin… But don't worry, she didn't look."
At least not too much… Bonnie thought.
Chica had to be blindfolded. Courtesy of Goldie calling Chica a perv for looking at him "under-dressed".
"You know, if you really want to be a man, you should stop wearing those unicorn boxers." Bonnie snickered.
"They were the only ones I had that were clean!" Sora defended.
"Mmh hm. Freddy thought that was funny." Bonnie said.
Sora shook his head, "Can we please change the subject?"
"Sure!" Bonnie said.
"So you said you lost your memories, right?"
"Every single one, except our murder."
"Maybe I can help you with that."
Bonnie raised an eyebrow, "Really? How?
"Tell you what- if you let me go, I'll take you to see one of my friends. She can help restore your memories back to the way they were."
Bonnie looked at him skeptically. "Are you sure she can do that?"
"Of course! She managed to rearrange my memories and put them back together, I'm sure she'll be able to recover yours."
"Wait, she was able to do that? Who exactly is she?"
"Her name is Naminé and she's sort of like a memory witch."
A memory witch, huh? Yeah, right… Like I'm falling for that! Bonnie thought.
"A memory witch? How am I supposed to believe that?" Bonnie snorted.
"Uh… well-"
"Forget it. I ain't letting you go."
"No, wait! It's true! Just let me go and I'll take you to see her. Besides by keeping me here, you're only letting Chica's affection for me grow!"
"I'm also keeping her happy." Bonnie growled.
"But… you don't seem happy." Sora said.
"Well, um… you don't understand! You're young! You won't understand at all!" Bonnie raged.
"Bonnie, you are probably younger than I am." Sora said.
"True." Bonnie admitted. "I'm actually eight."
"BONNIE!" Freddy called. "THE SILVER-HAIRED ONE IS HEADED YOUR WAY!"
Bonnie and Sora looked at each other.
Bonnie shrugged.
"Well, I guess I have to go."
Just then Riku burst in with Chica hot on his heels.
"Sora! We need to get out!" He said. "Chica wants to marry you!"
"Yeah, I already know about that…and Goldie's plans for you." Sora admitted.
"What?!" Riku said.
Just then Chica succeeded in catching up with Riku. She grabbed his arms and pulled him out of the room.
"Riku!"
Bonnie just gawped.
"How did he get out?"
"Knowing him for a long time, he always has some tricks up his sleeves."
"Like the sword?" Bonnie said.
"Sword?" Sora said.
"The one he had in his hands." Bonnie clarified.
"Oh, you mean his Keyblade!" Sora said.
"Oh, that's what Foxy is always going- uh, nevermind."
"What?" Sora asked.
"Nothing." Bonnie said.
"Ok?" Sora said.
What was he saying?
"Anyway, before our heart to heart was interrupted, what were we talking about?" Bonnie said.
"You like Chica don't you?" Sora questioned.
"Yes. That is why I want to kill you! And Foxy also does too. He thinks with you around he has less chance of getting his girl. He's always been weird, though."
"Wait, Foxy has a crush on Kairi?!"
"Yes. Why else would she still be around?"
"Oh the irony." Sora muttered.
"What?" Bonnie said.
"The fox falls in love with the redhead." Sora said.
"Pft!" Bonnie snickered.
"Also, the gold bear falls for silver hair!"
"Ha ha ha!" Bonnie laughed. "You, my spiky-haired friend, are hilarious!"
"It's a gift."
"Y'know, it almost makes me not want to kill you. Almost."
"Well if you want Chica to like you instead of me, why don't you just talk to her? Tell her how you feel?" Sora questioned.
"Oh no, I could never do that! I tend to stutter and I can't find the right words to express my feelings and- oh, who am I kidding… She'd never fall for a guy like me, at least not now. I think I may have gotten on her bad side."
"Why don't you just go and apologize?"
"There's no point. She'll never forgive me. Not after what she said…"
"You should still go and tell her you're sorry, I'm sure she'll come around."
"Or maybe not, she's always been one of those stubborn types."
"Tell me about it, Kairi's been nagging on how she gets left out when me and Riku go on adventures. And whenever we tell her it's too dangerous, she'd refuse to be left behind and come with us anyway. Heh. I kinda admire her…"
Bonnie looked up at Sora. "So I'm guessing you have a crush on her too. Foxy will be quite peeved when he finds out."
"Well, I kinda sorta always liked her."
"Aww." Bonnie said. "I liked Chica since…" He trailed off but Sora knew what he was talking about.
"Springtrap teases me about my crush. He says that I always loved her and that I was a 'hero' type. Apparently I tried to save her by throwing myself in front of her to save her life, but it didn't work because… you know… she died."
"Who's Springtrap?" Sora asked.
"Purple Man. He was stuffed in a rabbit suit. His spirit now inhabits it, just like all our spirits inhabit these suits."
"Oh… Well, I'm sorry you couldn't save her."
"Well… Chica didn't give me a hard time about it. In fact, she said that what I did was very brave. And she thanked me."
"Well, I guess if I leave you and Chica…" Sora trailed off when he saw who was behind Bonnie.
"Come, Bonnie. And take the guard with you. We need to decide what to do." Freddy said in a cold voice.
Bonnie sighed. "Yes, boss…"
