As Foes Become Bros: The Reimagining
Ok so the last chapter was pretty big so let's do this, I'll do my best to start pumping them out now the end is near one step at a time, let's go
Chapter 11: where the past and the future meet
As I place the other animatronics on to the floor Toy Freddy takes a good look at them remembering how they looked, it seemed to be some time since he last saw them, and now that I look upon them too I now know what the stickers on his mic were for, to remember he was just another face in a line of changing faces, but he only had the two cats and the wolf, who were the other two, it seemed so strange to be looking at them, it was like seeing into the past and how it could have been "if I remember right their names are, Opal, Ashe and Finn" what interesting names, but then they are a completely new design with a whole ark of new looks and maybe even personalities, I looked to Bonnie and he seemed to be in shock to seeing his friend again, he looked to be staring at the grey one and had a smile that could tell a thousand words, I even noticed Foxy staring at the black cat too.
While in the light I check them all over and it seems they are just deactivated so I simply turn them on, it takes them all some time to boot up so while they do I talk to Bonnie about his friend "so, bro what's with these cats, why are you so interested in them, what does she mean to you?" with a flick of his ear and a sharp breath he looks on at her in fondness "she… she's my one and only, I love her, just like you did she found me in here, faceless, rotting away, she was so curious too, just like you, she wanted to help, maybe put me back together, but she didn't know how, she was so anxious to try, but it only went as far taking out the facial recognition, they were built with it already installed so they knew how it worked" he had such a content smile, they must have had a great time together, I must admit, if I was broken beyond repair any kind of company would be a big help.
I look back over to Foxy, he seems to be having the same contented look as Bonnie which interests me, he never seemed to have anything to do with the door apart from the number combo, why now is he looking at the black cat with the same fondness as Bonnie and the grey cat "it's because they too are in love" Golden Freddy came back into the room, just out of sight in the corner and as I look between Foxy and the cats my mind only pushes a question forward and into my mouth "so Foxy, do you love that cat too?" he looks at me quizzically about the question but then smiles as he answers "well you see laddie, them cats be sisters, they do everything together, they be different personally but they think alike, they came to us all and tried to 'elp us, but the black cat was very 'appy to play pirates with me and truth be told she be me first mate" well that sounded sweet but then I looked to Toy Foxy and with the look I had she came out with "oh don't worry I can be his second mate, besides I got you as my first mate" I made a little chuckle at that.
They seemed to be taking a while to boot up and the grey cat still hasn't woke up yet, so as we waited I took a look at the panda and the sloth, their construction was far and away different to ours, were they from a set of rival animatronics, Toy Freddy said they came from someplace… what was it called again "Pete's Burger bar" oh yeah that was it, thanks Goldie, anyway I wonder what they are all about, I could ask Toy Freddy about it so I did "Toy Freddy I got to ask, what do you know about the sloth and the panda, why are they here" still siting on the floor next to them with Chica keeping an eye on him he looked them over wondering if they even know where they are "those two, I think their place went bust and I think they where brought to the old guys place to be reused but only days after the Bite of 87 happened, since then they must have completely throw them out and started to use the other three instead, seems nothing panned out right" I look back at them, to think about how much they've been through just to be thrown away, it only makes me think about the good things I've already done and that everyone here with me now once again has a place in the pizzeria, so, I can help them too.
It wasn't too long after that when the grey cat started to wake up again, her eyes fluttered open trying to focus on something to get a clear image, oddly enough though she brought her eyes upon me and started to talk "Bonnie is that you? You've changed a lot since we last saw each other, maybe those mechanics finally did their job and rebuild you eh?" I laughed a little knowing what really happened to Bonnie but looking at her I could tell she was slowly realizing I'm not the Bonnie she thought I was "actually my name is Toy Bonnie, I am an upgraded Bonnie model but I'm different from him as well, here can I look at your arm?" I only asked as I wanted to know if they are indeed based off of our design or should I say that we are based on them "oh umm… sure" she was a bit confused at first but she stretched out her arm anyway, Bonnie watched closely to what I was doing as well, I held her arm still as I looked to my own and even compared it side to side, it was a complete match, down to every wire.
So while I was contemplating the fact of our construction being based on a dream that went to waste everyone was getting acquainted and reacquainted with the grey cat "thanks for bringing me back, thought I'd get stuck in there forever and no one would ever find me again, my name's Opal and it's so nice to see such friendly faces again, especially that one" she said the last bit looking at Bonnie "and that one" and that bit looking at me, it caught my eye so I looked at her and she wanted to tell me something "you said your name was Toy Bonnie right?" I tilted my head a little at that "yeah why?" she closed her eyes then looked to the others "you and Toy Foxy were the ones built after me and my sister, Finn here was built first, they tried to use the new plastic casing but keep the size but they thought it was too garish so they built us to down size a bit, they seemed to like it at first and for a few days before we opened up to the public, me, Finn and Ashe would even practice doing some routines for our opening day, but one day we found ourselves in here with these guys" odd, she seemed so happy when she started talking but after pointing to Bonnie and Chica she seemed sad.
She tried to continue but she started to cry too, despite this she wasn't going to stop yet "I don't know why we were thrown out I mean… we didn't even open yet how could they just throw us out?" well I know what happened at the old pizzeria was a horrible thing but I could say the same for my bro, she started to cry some more though the confusion and Bonnie was right by her side to comfort her, then Chica did sometime after, looking around Freddy and Foxy seemed to share her pain all too well, I could even sense some sadness coming from Goldie "my dear can I just say that my eyes have been opened today, I'm sorry that had to happen to you" Toy Freddy chimed in feeling her sadness too "thanks, you must be Toy Freddy, you're not looking too good yourself" she seemed to calm down a bit looking at Toy Freddy's frail body, for her it seemed to be something she could at least solve by being a loving caring person, a bit like Chica, she even kissed her fingers and used them to rub Toy Freddy's cheek, how cute "hehe, oh this, it's just a little set back, all we need to do is to fix me up once your friends wake up" speaking of which they should have woke up by now "something is wrong" I know that Goldie, we need to find out.
I'm certain they would have woken up by now especially the other two Original Toys, but nothing, and I'm getting worried "Opal, does it normally that this long for your friends to reboot" I ask having a slight edge to my voice "I don't remember really, do you?" she looks to Bonnie who says "well I remember Finn can be stubborn when it comes to sleep but he never over slept, he would always be around when we needed him" Bonnie says not sounding worried at all but I don't think he really realises how long they've been in that room, but then he has been gone for a while too "well I think it's time we wake them up now but how exactly?" I ponder for a moment wondering what we can do to make them wake up, but then Toy Chica comes up with something "why don't we just jump start them?" a jump start? That's it, there was a car battery on the shelves and some jump cables "Toy Chica that's brilliant!" I say right in her face and kiss her, I then go over to the shelves, grab the battery and cables then place them right next to Finn "ok right I need everyone to stand back, Chica please keep Toy Freddy with you while I do this ok?" she nods and takes Toy Freddy over her shoulder "he's safe with me hun" with everyone at a safe distance I start to hook up the cables to the battery.
Since Finn is the biggest out of the bunch I start on him, a big blue and turquoise wolf that seems to be at least 8 foot, should but easy for me to climb in and see what I can attach the cables too, I take off his chest plate and I see two nodes, one either side his power core casing, placing the clamps onto the nodes sends out some sparks, I had to shield my face with my arm but I didn't get hurt despite the amount of sparks coming out of him, when I think he's had enough I pull the clamps back out and put his chest plate back on, soon enough he starts to move around and wakes with a start, he looks around a little then scratches his stomach "man what a nightmare, thought I dreamed of being stuck in a dark room with no light and on one to come save us" he's voice was deep but soft, a great baritone of a voice yet gentle "umm… I think that was reality but I got you out of there" he looked at me after hearing me say that and seemed to smile "well then I have a debt to repay, and thing you can think of and I'll be happy to help you" he spoke with an upmost diction about him, like a gentleman, with sophistication and class yet in a down played way as to not confuse the kids.
When he awoke Opal went over to hug him, she cried again but with him being so big compared to her he simply held her entirely in his arms and petted her "it's odd, I used to love it when she pet me" Bonnie said still looking at her so fondly, I just seemed a bit perturbed by that statement but then I remember the night I fixed Toy Foxy, best night ever, I should repay her for that then do the same for Toy Chica "hello Opal, it's ok I'm here, no need to cry for me I'm just glad you're ok" he spoke like her was a mix of a father and a brother, being confident and reassuring to her "well I'm glad you're ok too but you know that I hate being alone, plus I had some really bad dreams about being on fire" hold on say that again "well you don't have to worry, it's only a dream" well I hope those two will be ok, so far none of my dreams have come true.
With Opal and Finn's reunion more or less complete I help Finn up and towards Foxy, thought it would be good to have to two canine animatronics form a pack, maybe they'll invite Toy Foxy too, and move on to the black cat, she looked like the cool girl of their group I think she was called Ashe, just like with Finn I took of her breast plate and tried to find the nodes on her power core casing, problem was that she was a lot smaller and black, so I just used my night vision to help me out and found the nodes no problem, attaching the clamps onto them produces only a small amount of sparks but I use my arm again to shield my face from them, only a little time later and I remove the clamps and before I even put the breast plate back on she wakes up, when she does she sees me trying to put it back "hey now trying to get a sneaky look inside are you?" I look up at her and she's got that cocky look that all the hard to get ladies have, I blush and say "oh… no I'm just placing this back on, you see I had to jump start you and…" before I could finish she starts laughing "haha, oh don't worry yourself bunny boy I'm taken, but hey I don't mind, I'm adventurous" I just sit there holding her breast plate before I put it back on her "no thanks, I already have two others" Opal and Finn gasp a little while she just whistles a little and says "well someone knows how to get around" I blush again as she stands up.
Firstly she goes to Opal and Finn reuniting with them in a big hug, a family once again, the big wolf and his little cat sisters "hi guys, I've missed you like nothing else, been a while since I've felt this warm" she says snuggling up to Finn "we've missed you too Ashe, I can't believe we would have been saved" Opal holding Ashe close "but here we are, together again, all thanks to this little bunny right here" Finn gestures a hand towards me "I always knew someone around here still had a heart, I never gave up hope" wow he believed in me, hope… yeah I've done that for most of us so far, but I still have more to do, Ashe jumped off of Finn gave me a kiss on the cheek then went over to Foxy, he sat down and they hugged, I even saw Foxy's tail wagging and they stayed there for a bit, rocking slowly forwards and backwards, like a ship on the sea, slowly rocking as they reach their next adventure.
I look around and I see Bonnie and Opal hugging, Foxy and Ashe hugging, Chica and Freddy are even holding hands, where they together or was it just a very close friendship looking at the corner even Goldie seems to have a small smile on his face, Toy Freddy even seems to be happy, in all the happiness I go over to Toy Chica and give her a kiss "you did it again, you reunited a family and even rekindled lost love, how do you do it?" she says like she doesn't know "I just believe that nothing should be left to be forgotten, plus it's what I was made for, my repair protocol tells me if something needs to be fixed then I have to fix it, it's like a law or something" after I say that she puts her head on my shoulder "I'm glad" is all she says, I take this moment to relax a bit and place my head on hers letting myself relax before I try to jump start the other two.
For a moment I slip in and out of sleep, after a day like today I feel a little warn down but I'm not finished yet, I just need to slow down for a bit, but then I hear giggling from Toy Foxy, I look over and I can see Finn talking to her "has anyone ever told you how absolutely beautiful you are" his complements send her into a giggling spree and has her face all red, I would have said something but I have two girls myself, so I'm sure I can live with my Toy Foxy having two guys and a girl, plus I'm to comfortable to move right now, I'm standing with my wonderful chicken and she's being my rock right now, besides Finn is pretty damn cool for a giant wolf animatronic, as the moments go by it seems the other two start to wake up with put needing a jump start and the panda wake up.
As his eyes open I go to his side yet the first thing he looks at is Toy Freddy who Chica had placed back in the corner while making friends with the Original Toys "wow looks like we went the only ones thrown away, we must be in the scrap heap" he says looking at Toy Freddy's form "actually you're at Freddy Fazbear's pizza" the panda seemed to be puzzled "well if that's true then perhaps this place has just as many secrets as our place did, we must be rivals of the painful truth as well" the panda seemed to be down about something but I wanted him to be happy so I put my hand on his shoulder "don't worry about the past for now, I'm going to put you and your friend here back into service" he seemed to be sceptical of my assuredness but he didn't object, it was like he had just woke up in the hospital and saw something he has longed for, for a good while "well I don't have all my friends with me, but they are in a better place now but while I'm here I would like to preform again, at least one last time, I'm Pete by the way" he lightened up as he spoke and soon his friend woke up too.
She was interesting, just like Pete she was an anatomically correct animatronic sloth with the normal colours associated with her species but she had a daisy in the right side of her head and what appeared to be an albino duck feather in her left, when she looked around a saw Pete she jumped up to him and hugged him tightly "oh Pete I thought we'd never wake up again, I was so scared I'd never see you again, how did we wake up" she sounded so terrified, none of the others seemed so bad but by the sounds of their story they are as old as Freddy and Bonnie who told me they were the first two built "I believe this little blue bunny brought us out of that room and turned us back on" as Pete addressed me I once again stood to attention "you saved us" as she spoke she jumped off of Pete and slowly waked towards me, her small frame only just made it to my thigh "well, yes, I had to, it just seemed right, plus Bonnie was lonely with out his cat" she looked to the others and saw the three Original Toys, she smiled seeing the lives that had been restored thanks to my promise to my bro and all animatronic kind.
She looked back to my comparably towering form and started to climb my arm much like how mm… ugh Mangle would do, sorry but in that state she was a mangle, yet as this sloth climbed she seemed to by just the same "you my dear are what this world needs, someone who can throw caution to the wind and do what is right with no one and nothing to stand in your way, and with a heart as big as yours, you can become something incredible" she kisses my cheek then goes back to Pete "oh sorry I didn't say my name, I'm Sarah, the pleasure is all mine" wow I'm speechless right now, I seem to be getting all the praise but then again I've basically given them a second chance at life and I'd be happy about that too, in fact I'd be ecstatic, to celebrate this reunion of new faces we all head out to the dining area and have some pizza, we enjoy ourselves and talk about a few things, one thing that popped up is that Chica can make a mean pizza alright but Sarah was sure that her burgers were far better back in her day, they were about to start an argument but Opal had stopped them when she climbed into the stage.
She grabbed the mic that was left there and made an announcement "guys if I may have your attention, thanks, I just want to say a big thank you to Toy Bonnie for bringing me back and my best friends and family Ashe and Finn, and I want to show Bonnie how much I love him with a little song I came up with just for him, it's just something I put together while we were locked away" she then started to use the keyboard that was up there and started a tone I was a little familiar with.
(now play faded from Alan Walker)
You were the shadow to my light
Did you feel us?
Another star
You fade away
Afraid our aim is out of sight
Wanna see us
Alight
Where are you now?
Where are you now?
Where are you now?
Was it all in my fantasy?
Where are you now?
Were you only imaginary?
Where are you now?
Atlantis
Under the sea
Under the sea
Where are you now?
Another dream
The monster's running wild inside of me
I'm faded
I'm faded
So lost, I'm faded
I'm faded
So lost, I'm faded
These shallow waters never met what I needed
I'm letting go a deeper dive
Eternal silence of the sea. I'm breathing alive
Where are you now?
Where are you now?
Under the bright but faded lights
You've set my heart on fire
Where are you now?
Where are you now?
Where are you now?
Atlantis
Under the sea
Under the sea
Where are you now?
Another dream
The monster's running wild inside of me
I'm faded
I'm faded
So lost, I'm faded
I'm faded
So lost, I'm faded
After the song she was crying again, I was crying too and looking to Bonnie he seemed completely distraught, I could see it in his eyes, the love had never died between them and the song only told him so even more, the pain in his heart was so obvious, it was pouring out like a kettle with a leak, Opal came down and gave Bonnie a big hug and they stayed in the embrace for a bit, but Bonnie seemed to smile and then it was his turn on the stage, he picked up his guitar and toned it then said "well Opal my dear I made a song for you too, and now I have a chance to play it, so hold on to your ears" as soon as the first note was played I knew exactly with one it was.
(now play A Part That's Holding On from RED)
It all looks different now
But it was right in front of me
The memories fall around
Of everything I used to be
Can I let it go
When I still feel your echoes
I watched you disappear
But I can't make myself believe
I gave it all
But you were fading
Where'd you go, all alone
I couldn't stay
Another fall, through the dark
Of the shadows
I reached for you, only you
There's still a part
A part that's holding on
Can we call it fair
Or was it just a dire game
Who's the winner now
When I can't even speak your name
Caught inside the dream
When you were reaching back for me
Did you get lost inside
Or did you disappear
I gave it all
But you were fading
Where'd you go, all alone
I couldn't stay
Another fall, through the dark
Of the shadows
I reached for you, only you
There's still a part
A part that's holding on
You went dark on me
Never tried to see
What it's like to be
The one who lost it all
Did you find your way
Is there still a place
Is there a part of you
That's holding on
Still holding on
I gave it all
But you were fading
Where'd you go, where'd you go
I gave it all
But you were fading
Where'd you go, all alone
I couldn't stay
Another fall, through the dark
Of the shadows
I reached for you, only you
There's still a part
A part that's holding on
A part that's holding on
After Bonnie was done he was crying again, I was crying again and yes Opal was crying again, like how she showed Bonnie she still loved him he showed her he still loved her, their bond had grown so strong that no door could contain it and no amount of loneliness could hold it back, they stayed true to their love from the start and for as long as they have faith, this only made me want to hug with Toy Chica again who was crying from all the beautiful love that was being shown, Pete and Sarah where hugging too, Foxy and Ashe where nibbling each other's ears which I found oddly cute and Finn was kissing Toy Foxy's hand but then went off some where for a moment then I made my move with Toy Chica to hug her too, all in all it was a great moment.
We hugged for a while and kissed but then I saw where Finn went and I went over to stand next to him, he was standing right next to Toy Freddy just staring down at him like he saw something that was wrong with him, well what wasn't wrong with him, the odd thing is he was just looking at him, not moving, not saying a word, at least not till I spoke up "hey Finn what's up?" I gave him a concerned look but still he didn't move "he's broken, I can fix him" wait, Finn has a repair protocol, then why can't he fix the old models but he wants to fix Toy Freddy "well that's cool if you can fix him, but how come you can fix Toy Freddy and not Bonnie or Chica" he still didn't move all he did was look at all the missing parts and gaping holes within Toy Freddy's body "I can answer that one, when it was decided that me and Ashe would be created they cave him the repair protocol, but it was only a prototype version and he could only use it to fix us, I'm as curious as you are though he's never used it before" well I'm as interested as Opal is, let's see where this goes.
After Finn examined Toy Freddy he went off to the maintenance room to grab some tools and Toy Freddy's spares box, he even went to get the car battery and the cables from Parts and Service, he started by replacing all the plastic casing and I mean all of it apart from his head, it had all been damaged by Toy Chica and Bonnie and it wouldn't do for Finn, so he took it all off and changed it for the new one from in the box, he even gave Toy Freddy a brand new left leg, good I would have done that too, then taking off his chest plate he started to repair Toy Freddy's power core, he had to replace the casing for it which can be a difficult task but I didn't worry he took it nice and slow, then when the new power core casing was attached he used the car battery to boost it's power, once he was done he put on a new chest plate and Toy Freddy was looking as good as new.
He looked at himself and hugged Finn "Finn that was amazing, you are great at this, you may even be as good as Toy Bonnie" he said that while looking at me "I'm only as good as I am, but why done you have a walk around and see how you feel" and so Toy Freddy stood up and walked around and as ever he was spry and bouncy, I marvelled a little at his work and I have to say he was very good at it "nice work there Finn I'm impr…" I stopped mid-sentence when I looked up and saw Finn staring at me the same way he did with Toy Freddy "hey pal, what's up" he grabbed my hand and showed me my arm, it had melted in places where the sparks had hit, for a moment I swear I could see the fire from my last day dream but Finn didn't take long before he came back with my spare's box, it was simple for him, take off my arm plate and place a new one in it's place.
So today was proving to be a good day but it was getting late and everyone needed to rest, for us we all went back to our stage along with the old models going to their areas, the Original Toys made a new stage for them having Pete and Sarah join them, Brian's party will be very soon and it looks like we'll be ready for it, just hope it all goes well.
Phew there done, that's chapter 11 for you, hope you all enjoyed it, that was a good one eh, anyway I'll see you for the next chapter
