As Foes Become Bros: The Reimagining
So this is it, perhaps the last 3 chapters is upon us and the end is here, I thank you all for reading so far but don't despair just yet the prologue has yet to be told so hold on tight and here we go
Chapter 13: the end has come
(start off by playing the Unstoppable Redux cover by RED, it's much sadder then the normal cover version)
I'll smile, I know what it takes to fool this town
I'll do it 'til the sun goes down and all through the night time
Oh yeah, I'll tell you what you wanna hear
I'll turn my head and shed a tear
It's never the right time, ooh
I'll put my armour on
Show you how strong I am
I'll put my armour on
I'll show you that I am
I'm unstoppable
I'm running with no brakes
I'm invincible
Yeah, I win every single game
I'm so powerful
I don't need batteries to play
I'm so confident, yeah, I'm unstoppable today
Break down, only alone I will cry out loud
You'll never see what's hiding out
Hiding out deep down
I know, I've heard that to let your feelings show
Is the only way to make friendships grow
But I'm too afraid now
I'll put my armour on
Show you how strong I am
I'll put my armour on
I'll show you that I am
I'm unstoppable
I'm running with no brakes
I'm invincible
Yeah, I win every single game
I'm so powerful
I don't need batteries to play
I'm so confident, yeah, I'm unstoppable today
I'll put my armour on
Show you how strong I am
I'll put my armour on
I'll show you that I am
That was me playing the song on one of the keyboards they haven't taken yet, after Mr Smith saw the destruction that I coursed he has deemed that Freddy Fazbear's pizza to be closed and to scrap us at the nearest scrap yard, he said with the death of his son he is now the only surviving member of his family and so is going to spend a few years in the alps or something like that, I'm left sitting on the edge of the stage with Felicia on my arm to talk to, I look around and even though the bodies may have been taken away the marks of blood are still all over and the smell of death never truly fades, so I'm just left wondering if all that I did was the right thing to do.
What's worse is that over all this time since that day everything died is that my mind and my circuits keep getting worse, my control over my body is slipping but I don't have any reason to fight it, soon I will become that creature in my dreams and I really don't see why I should stop it, for now though I try to relax, "hey Toy Bonnie?" just as my mind rests Sarah comes over, her fur got matted and ripped from the mechanics but she only has some small holes reviling her endo skeleton "I was hoping I could try to cheer you up with some of my signature burgers, trust me they still taste as good as they used to, Pete won't stop eating them" the idea of great food did at least put a smile on my face, so we went into the kitchen, luckily the stoves and cookers are apparently one of the last things to go since it's all gas so while we're still here we can still make food.
It's been years since Sarah last made her fabulous burgers and yet Pete has no problem with them and chows on them like a bag of Haribo, "don't worry guys I'll save you some" is what he would say and he will… unless you take too long and then he'd finish them off, a panda to the end it would seem "oh don't you worry this one is all mine" Chica says after some time when she's done with having her pizza, then I'd come in with "well you can try and take my burger but I hope you like being man handled by Finn when you step over the line" then he would stop, he finds it embarrassing when he's slightly taller than Freddy but because he's anatomically correct he like's to sit down a lot and so Finn can mess with him, it's very funny.
Once we are done with burgers and pizza we go our separate ways for a while and think about what will happen to us, but while I go into the maintenance room I'm joined by Toy Chica and Mangle… yeah I'm not even going to sugar coat it anymore that's just what she is, they're concerned about me, they know that I won't last much longer, with every hour my mind gets worse, so they must have come to comfort me, to give me the love they still have for me, it's not like they can judge me for what happened, they were apart of it too, so perhaps they just want to spend as much time as they can with me and I won't argue I'd much prefer the company.
For some time we sit in a corner just sleeping for a bit, Toy Chica rest her left arm behind me as it had been very badly damaged and she has this thing about looks and hated it's unsightly condition and Mangle just rapped herself around our necks very loosely, we stayed there for a bit but as time went on I stirred as I slept, in my dreams I was seeing more and more of what was to come, I could see Toy Chica and Mangle together but they seemed to be merged, then there was Freddy and Chica fused as well but they seemed to have been built together using what little parts they had left, seeing these things woke me up and I was immediately taken by my circuits, I was on edge looking for the monster but then I realised it was only a vision… for now "Toy Bonnie, what's wrong?" Toy Chica said as she woke up, I look at her and try to stay calm but my mind has been far too damaged by my own thoughts and beliefs "what's right? I keep seeing things I don't want us to become, but I fear it's too late" despite my failing mind I still seem to keep hold of what's truly important to me "you listen here you stupid bunny, you may have done some bad things, but so have we, you may be able to see our future, but as long as I exist on any form or capacity I shall always be here for you, as you have been for me" Mangle almost cries out crawling her way over to me and kissing me lovingly "you may never get those sweet green eyes back but inside of those eyes I still see the one I love" my eyes have changed but they still cry the same tears of pain and love for her.
We hug each other and then make our way out to see how everyone is doing, first off we go see what Freddy and Golden Freddy was up to, they seem to be playing with a deck of cards and talking about what happened on that day "so it happened again, yet this time you had nothing to do with it" Freddy seemed so non chalone about it yet still a little annoyed "I told you I've changed but can you really say you didn't enjoy it at the time?" Freddy thought for a moment and he did have a smile on his face when he remembered "no, it was nice to see some justice take it's course, but Toy Freddy is right, it's scares me to think I could be somewhat sadistic" that was when Freddy looked away and saw us coming "you have no idea" when I said that Freddy looked surprised, probably from seeing my eyes "well have you got one hell of a glitch going on, Bonnie's eyes did that once but it was only to scare the night guard we had at our place" well I bet that was fun for him, I would have loved that myself "so hey tell me, why is it that you and Goldie look so alike?" Toy Chica asked and me and Mangle were just as curious so as Freddy was getting ready to tell the story we pulled up some chairs and gathered around, funny thing is as Freddy opened his mouth to speak Golden Freddy butted in "I can tell you about that, long ago before Freddy, before me there was this old diner, the small beginnings of what is now Fazbear Entertainment, there were two primitive animatronics, Fredbear and Spring Bonnie" Spring Bonnie? You mean to say there was a Bonnie before my bro, that's so interesting to know.
He continued to speak in his ghastly voice and reminisce about what could have been "they had this uncanny ability to be used as both animatronic and costume, in animatronic mode they were just like us, sentient, and fully aware of what was around them, but in suit mode they'd effectively be deactivated and a human would use this hand crank to unlock their endo skeleton and prop it open using spring locks" whoa that's crazy, a hand crank to open up their endos and prop them open "they would than climb inside to use them as suits, some people may even liken it so a fur suit, but it's only carpet, the problem is that the spring locks were very poorly made and almost anything would course them to come loose or even break which meant the wearer inside would be crushed and later die" what… well I hope the fools who created those death traps got their own demise… ugh I'm not holding up much, it won't be long till I'm gone.
Golden Freddy had reviled a lot about our past, what we were before and the troubles we had faced as a species, but he wasn't done yet "but the worst was yet to come, one day during our creator's, son's birthday a horrific freak accident occurred, his son was thrown into Fredbear's mouth while he was preforming on stage, the spring locks failed and coursed the mouth to bite down on the boy's head, they called this the Bite of 83" ok what, there's a Bite of 83 too, there's so much more to us then I ever would have thought, not in a good way either "once more the father is a man I'm sure you know as the purple guy" now that changes things "well thanks for that but I think we'll check on everyone else now" and with Mangle's obvious reluctance we moved on.
As we moved through the dining area we could hear someone having trouble with something, it sounded laboured and there was some groaning about their legs or something, it was Bonnie, he had been battered in the legs pretty hard and now he finds it hard to move around and it only makes it worse when he feels embarrassed to not be able to walk "bro, are you ok?" Bonnie looks at me with mixed emotions, he seems angry at me for even asking that but he's also sad that he knows he's broken and I know he's broken "I'm fine, just… trying to get somewhere" the three of us are perplexed at his statement "where exactly are you trying to go?" Toy Chica comes out with and Bonnie just seems to look on in sadness "somewhere that isn't so sad" I look down at the floor and all I could think of to say was "sorry bro there's nothing we can do about it, but maybe I can show you a new song, you can had Opal pet you while you listen?" he ponders the request and he at least seems to like the idea "ok bro, you've so much for me, I should return the favour this time around shouldn't I?" with a small smile I help him over to the stage and sit him on the chairs we left behind.
As I get ready on the stage Felicia crawls back on my arm, she only seems to come out when she knows a song is being played, she must have an ear for music, when I was tuning up my guitar Mr Smith came up to us and said "the scrap men will be here to pick you up shortly, all I can say is it was a pleasure to work with you but you're too dangerous now and I'm going to research what has coursed this violent outburst, may you find peace where ever you go" then he left with no further words, we just looked at where he stood wondering what he meant by that, after a moment of silence I got back to tuning my guitar and played the song.
(now play Gone by RED)
Disappear, without a trace
A treasure lost, I can't replace
The only piece that still remains
Is in these scars, is in this pain
I want to save it all
I want to take it all
My heart is holding on
I bleed, I bleed for love
When I'm gone
When I fade away
Is the air I breathe my only legacy?
When I'm gone
In the dark, I am a flame
A passing light, all in vain
I feel the pull, I feel a change
It's over now, it slips away
I want to save it all
I want to take it all
My heart is holding on
I bleed, I bleed for love
When I'm gone
When I fade away
Is the air I breathe my only legacy?
When I'm gone
When I'm gone
When I'm gone
I want to save it all
I want to take it all
My heart is holding on
I bleed, I bleed for love
When I'm gone
When I fade away
Is the air I breathe my only legacy?
When I'm gone
When I'm gone
When I'm gone
When the song was done Bonnie had it written all over his face, he knew the end was coming and it would be soon, ever since his first brush with possible destruction and losing his face he has been scared with fearing the fact that one day, one way or another he will be destroyed and whatever's left behind will cease to exist, every time he hears about it he just backs out of the room, sometimes he'll even hold his ears shut, Opal is there sitting on his knee wiping away the tears, it's a sad sight but it seems everyone has been effected by the song, Ashe and Foxy also seem to be hugging tightly, Finn and Toy Chica also seem to be having some time together but I think that's just because Mangle is curled around Toy Chica right now, even Freddy and Chica are holding hands again and as for Pete and Sarah, they are huddled up close.
The realism is too much for me and I run to the Parts and Service room to at least keep some sanity "is it time yet?" I forgot, Toy Freddy is in Parts and Service after the mechanics almost destroyed Toy Freddy straight up, since he was taken first the mechanics had the most energy to really put the smack down on him but since he's so hefty they didn't do as bad a job on everyone else "no, not yet" I take deep breaths to regain my composure "well it won't be long now, Toy Bonnie I need to say something to you, it's very important" I get a bad feeling about what he's going to say so I try to stop him "hey look you don't have to say anything, I know it's all my fault for wanting more for my friends and being selfish, I only wanted to show you all that we don't need to be treated so poorly like we are only machines to entertain kids, we can be so much more" I got a little carried away at that "no you fool, not that, look I have to tell you, I don't think I'm going to make it any way so please hear me out" he was in the worst state out of all of us apart from maybe Mangle but she has a very strong body where Toy Freddy doesn't "I want you to know that after all that I said and all that I did, you were right, you were right about Bonnie and Chica, they were good friends to you and to each other, they brought in more customers then I could ever have imagined and Freddy and Foxy, the kids loved them, only now I see why you fixed them, they were good to you, they where good friends, and even after a while they where good to me too" I couldn't believe what I was hearing, I started to cry.
As he continued he started to weaken but he was going to tell my everything or be damned "I guess I have I big problem too, I follow orders too much, I told you that they only told me about the Original toys and those two from Pete's burger bar, fact is they told my not to mention any of them, there were times that I wanted to but my programming forbid me to do it and I just couldn't, only after you had found out did my programming change to relax those parameters, but if you ask me you did the right thing, you made… me… so… proud" after he said that he just seemed to go dead, the light in his eyes dimed until they were blank, they only did that if an animatronic is deactivated but I can see that his power core has stopped it only did that if an animatronic is dead, I shed a single tear for him and hugged his slowly chilling body softly.
I walked out to the dining area, everyone else was still there just waiting for the scrap guys to pick us up, only moments away by now, I had to tell them the news, my mind… it's completely gone by now, all I have left are my friends, I will make sure I keep them all with me till the end of time, nothing will stop me from keeping them safe from the world we will stumble upon "guys, can I have your attention… please" my voice, it had changed, it was that same dark deep voice when I had first taken action against Bonnie and when I took Toy Freddy's leg "Toy Bonnie hun, what is it?" "is everything ok" Chic and Mangle seemed to see and hear the changes in my voice and eyes, they must fear that something bad has happened, well it has "no, Toy Freddy is…" I couldn't finish, the pain in my heart threatened to come right out as I spoke "Toy Freddy is… he's dead" as soon as the word dead entered the open air I broke down, I couldn't take the pain any more, my still fragile tenderness has not been effected by my overloaded circuits, and when bad things happen that I have no control over I just start bawling and I just want my friends to be with me all the time.
They were all here with me though, all of them, my closest friends Toy Chica and Mangle gave me a hug, they came in close and held me tight, Freddy and Chica also came to hug me, it seemed so strange that Freddy also now out lives his replacement, Foxy, Ashe, Opal and Bonnie came to hug me too, the Marionette lent me a friendly hand on my shoulder and even Golden Freddy lent on my back for my support and his own, it was so good to have such friends but how long with it last, that's when the scrap guys came in "excuse me are you the animatronics? We've come to collect you" they had up right trollies to out us on and wheel us out to the lorry "yeah we're the ones you're looking for, there's another in the back" the man looked at his note pad, it had our names on the list to tell him what he was dealing with "that should be all of them then, alright guys let's move them out" one by one each one of the scrap guys took us to the lorry and we were on our way to the scrap yard, may we all stay safe as we enter the world of the unwanted.
And so that was chapter 13, wow so sad man, it only gets worse from here though, in my original story of As Foes Become Bros this is around the point where it just ended but for this story we aren't done yet, plus I am still planning on doing a continuation to this story once it's finished but that might be a very short one maybe only 5 or 6 chapters but well see so till next time
