Chapter 14: Rebuilt From Darkness
Freddy took a step down on to the floor of the basement, which he knew he shouldn't even be in. His friends followed behind him, feeling the same ominous feeling as Freddy was. Freddy looked back at his friends, who were looking around. Marionette was mainly being helped by Chica, considering it was still hard for him to stand.
"Alright Marionette, which way are we going?" Freddy whispered as he looked in the darkness. Marionette managed to walk over besides Freddy and pointed in a specific direction. "Alright, let's get going. Everyone try to stay as quiet as you can. We don't know what's down here, or where SpringTrap is." They all nodded and the continued into the darkness. To make himself seem more quiet, Freddy took off the Freddy head in order to have lighter footsteps. His friends followed in this example and they all were walking in their human form.
They walked for a while before they heard lots of movement in a room near them. Freddy slowly came to the door and peeked in. At first they saw nothing, then they heard movement in the room. Marionette points forward a bit into the door from his angle.
"There...she….is," He said. Freddy looked and sees the one whom their after. Rose was sitting in a wooden chair tied up by some old thick rope. Her hair was a mess with head laying forward. She had some bruises on her arms, most likely from the hassle when Marionette tried to protect her. She didn't appear to be conscious at all to anything going on around her, so Freddy hoped she was just knocked out. They heard footsteps within the room and sees a very old looking animatronic walk over to a different table, his back to them.
"Is that?" Chica asked as she stared at him. Goldie nodded as he knew that he could speak now with the head not on.
"SpringTrap," He said with a bit of sorrow and agitation in his tone. SpringTrap was a yellow bunny character, but over the years his suit decayed, turning it yellow and allowing holes within the suit. There was read that peered through the suit and Freddy knew very well what that was. That was the body of the security guard that had done that evil deed so long ago. That was the one they called Vincent, but whether Vincent or SpringTrap was controlling the suit was another question. He appeared to bet getting something ready, but they couldn't quite see what it was.
"Well..Well my dear, I can't wait for..you to wake up," He said with static distinctly in his voice. "I want to see your face when the life leaves your eyes. I want to see the terror on your face as I bring this nice sharp knife down into your flesh. Oh, I can't wait for you to wake up my dear." Freddy's eyes narrowed at the comments that he was saying. He wanted to just barge in there, with his Freddy head on, and punch him. He wanted to run in there, scoop up Rose, and flee with her.
"Well, hello there," Said a voice from behind the group. The group turned around to see a terrifying sight. They see what looks to be another Marionette, except ten times more scary. He was a bit taller than the original and his mask had a giant like open smile. His smile was full of sharp teeth. He had long arms and legs just like the Marionette, except his claws were sharper. His suit didn't look as friendly as Marionette's did. His looked like an old frail body was stuck inside of it. The creature sees their fear and smiles. "Oh, where are my manners, I am Nightmarionne. I am the leader of the Nightmares around here, well aside from our master." Freddy put his head back on, and turned back to his animatronic form.
"Goldie get Marionette out of here, he is in no condition to fight!" Freddy ordered. Goldie nodded as he put the head on and grabbed Marionette. He teleported away and the others put their heads on. "I thought you got scrapped." Nightmarionne smiled evilly and chuckled at the comment.
"We were meant to be scrapped but they forgot we were down here," He said as he gestured to some opened boxes. Freddy thought for a moment and registered what he said.
"Wait a minute…'we'?" He asked as he looked at him questioningly. Nightmarionne smiled evilly and looked to the darkness that surrounded them. Metal shifting along the ground was heard and a loud clang of something being dropped was heard. Freddy turned and sees the horror before him. The thing he hated most, the Nightmares. Nightmare Freddy stood before him. His long sharp teeth clearly visible along with his sharp claws. He had holes throughout his suit, but something was moving around throughout the holes. Small versions of Nightmare Freddy were poking their heads out at Freddy every now and then. More movement was heard and he sees the others. Nightmare Bonnie was standing closest to Freddy, his mouth gaping open with the same long sharp teeth. He had more significantly noticeable damage to his suit such as the giant hole in his stomach region. Nightmare Chica right next to him with her elongated jaw and she didn't have as much damage as the others, but one thing was for sure she had her menacing cupcake with large teeth in her hand. Then, finally close to the ground like a real predator, was Nightmare Foxy. He was in a worse state than their Foxy was in, but he didn't seem to care about that. He had the most sharp teeth of all the Nightmares and he even had a long robotic tongue to match. His hook was sharp and dangerous, the same went for his really sharp claws on his other hand. Freddy gulped at seeing them all and realized what they really were in for.
