Summary/disclaimer: Time for another chapter of Soulless Soulmates. Enjoy the 2000-word chapter. I don't own FNAF, Scott and a few others do.

Jackson hunted the others around the corner. His metallic claws sliced grooves along the wall as he slowly started to drag them towards the middle.

He detected a hint of movement which was greeted by him pulling something from his belt and aiming it in that direction. He squeezed the trigger twice in rapid succession.

Both children fell to the ground with their vests buzzing. He smiled as they slowly climbed to their feet. He didn't once bother them at the second and it seemed as if they were simply pondering how they had lost.

He didn't at all blame them. He was facing children and he wasn't one to cheat to beat them. Jackson heard a noise that signaled that the birthday boy had won a free fazblaster. He chuckled before he slowly lumbered across the room.

"Congratulations, Ricky!" Jackson stated while he slowly approached the player. "You've won a free fazblaster as a reward for repelling the alien army. Please follow me to retrieve your prize." Jackson said as he stomped towards the elevator.

The words felt… Alien for a more amusing word on the tip of his tongue. It wasn't many times that there was a lot to do and today he simply had a game that had been placed well in advance. It wasn't something that he had gotten used to at the time and now he wasn't one to handle it anyway as of now.

Still? He had been rather interested in how this came down to it. Yet he had a lot more on his mind than it seemed when it came down to it. There was so much on his plate that he didn't wish to question. It almost made him want to scream now when h considered it. Perhaps it was simply because he had more to do.

Still? There was a lot more on his interest when it came down to it. He wanted to do more at the second when he questioned it. He had a lot to do as it happened. He considered what to do next the second. He wasn't one to handle this when he considered it. He had a lot on his CPU.

He smiled to himself before he brushed off his metallic shell. He honestly felt a lot more interested in what to do next. The more he handled when it came down to it as of this moment meant more weight lifted off his shoulders.

Still? He was a lot more on his plate when he considered what to do next. When does this end? He wanted to place more on his plate

Still? There was a lot more to do at the second, resting his metallic frame on the plaster wall which seemed to almost crack under the weight placed on it. He became a lot more annoyed at the second. Every single piece of gear in this place seemed to fall apart and collapse under the weight of cheap labor and far too little care for anything that didn't cut a profit. It had been a lot more interesting to see work done when it came down to it.

There was a slight movement near him which made his ear perk up towards her. She had been a lot more interesting when it came down to how she handled it. He knew it was Roxanne, Chica was too busy practicing, and she was the only animatronic up this late. Freddy was always in his room on the dot to handle other duties and prepare for the next day… Even if it took 5 minutes to honestly charge their power cores fully. A much better improvement than the older models. There was more on their plate than should have been possible. It simply came down to several budget decisions. There had been far more than enough people who should have seen the flaws.

"Hey, Jacky." He heard and turned to see BOTH Roxanne and Bonnie.

"Hey, Rox-x," Jackson stated before he punched the side of his face. "Blasted voice glitch. B-Bonnie, how are you? I haven't s-seen you in d-days." Jackson stated as he appeared the cross his arms and sighed.

The voice box made him annoyed. Everyone else could speak almost entirely properly, but if that was how it came down to it. He stayed silent at the time rather than do something when it came back to it. He was honestly ready for shows, but off the stage having his voice stutter? Oh, that ground his gears more than anything.

"Yeah, had to go to parts and service, lost parts of my legs due to an incident in the Bonnie Bowl," Bonnie stated to which Jackson tilted his head. "They, uh… Kinda accidentally hit me in the leg with a bowling ball. These new parts aren't as durable as the old ones, I'm afraid. They break the second I try to do something." Bonnie added as both animatronics shared a look at each other.

There was some stunned silence between them. They had been pushed to their limits sooner or later. It had become a lot easier to justify these types of things when they had been pushed down that road. The sooner they accepted that? The easier this would be.

"These upgrades are cutting corners, B-Bonnie," Jackson said before he pointed at Roxanne. "Roxy's e-eyes almost exploded because parts and service made them too b-bright. And my voice chip is glitching and yet their claiming it's a p-personality quirk." Jackson stated as he rubbed at his eyes and seemed to become far more interested.

There had been far more interest in what to do next. There was far more on their platters at the time. The more they did? The harder it was to condone their flaws.

"Don't be so hard on yourself, Jack," Bonnie said as the metallic jackal chuckled.

"Hey, if you're not going anywhere, Bon? Neither am I. This is my home, I'm just a bit annoyed that nobody wants to fix a-anything. We both know what is happening with Roxy's place, it keeps breaking for some reason." Jackson stated before he seemed to question what to do next.

"Don't tell me about how that could have gone…" Roxie stated as both androids turned towards him. "There were a lot more problems they could be fixing, but no. Nobody wants to try and just handle something as small as fixing the raceway up." Roxie stated to which neither could fathom as to why.

"There are a lot more problems in this place than it seems they want to admit. We're going to need to say something." Jackson stated as he seemed to ponder what to do.

"Sorry, Jackie. Not in the cards at the moment. They want what they want." Bonnie said as he glanced at his legs. "Sides. That ain't your style. We both know you are someone who likes to talk when they feel like they can. You're not the type to do something like bug others or get them all wrapped up in this garbage." Bonnie said with a smile as Jackson pointed a finger at her.

"You're not going to be r-replaced because management is c-cheap, Bon," Jackson said while he rolled his optics. "They want to replace all of us. You s-should hear what they said about me and R-roxxie. We're trash to them." Jackson stated before clenching his metallic fingers.

"Doesn't mean you need to suffer because of what I and Fred did, kid," Bonnie said with a smile as Jackson turned on him.

"Don't… DON'T B-BONNIE. I'm not going to let them destroy the b-band because they're GREEDY." Jackson said before he started to march away, his optics turning red for a second.

"Is he usually that way?" Bonnie asked Roxanne who nodded.

"Whenever he gets fired up. Yeah, he makes me wonder what will happen if he gets pushed a bit too much. He's a complicated guy." Roxanne stated before he tilted his head. "There will be a lot more coming from him if you expect him to handle this properly. The sooner that he dealt with this? The sooner he gets it off his chest. He likes to deal with stuff like this first." Roxanne stated as she seemed to glance around before.

There was more on the plate, more that was going to be interesting.

She knew he wouldn't simply let him bust this. The sooner that this had become harder to fathom. The sooner this was going to be curious at the second as of now. The sooner this was decided the better.

He ran a hand across his metallic fur. It had come down simply to how much he could take; how much he could let bother him and decide for himself. This was going to end sooner or later, even if he had to end it for them.

He ran a hand across his temples and rubbed at the metallic skull that made up his shell. He was honestly pondering as to what was coming. This had to end, he had to talk to someone before his mind exploded from the sheer insanity that had gone onwards in his head. This was going to be fun, one way or another. He sighed as he glanced around this place.

"Jackson?" Roxanne heard as he turned on his head before he sighed and turned on his heel, his mind interested in his responses. "Are you alright? Are you good? You are usually not this intense when it comes down to it. I'm not sure what's on your head, but you're not like this often, are you good?" Roxanne questioned before she tilted his head to the side.

"Are you ok?" Roxanne questioned before she smiled.

He nodded to himself before he glanced to the side as the second started to come down to it. He was honestly curious as to what to do next. This place reeked of inaction and it smelled cheap. It'd be something he'd understand more if he could smell anything when it came down to it.

Still? There was so much on the second while he was honestly curious as of the second as he tilted his metallic head before it came down to it. there was a lot more on his mind than this when it came down to it. there was a lot more on the line.

It was going to be far more on the line than anything as of the second. It was honestly going to be fun, perhaps a lot more as of the time.

He rubbed at his temples before he clicked his tongue, the metallic gesture made him hum as he realized there was a lot more coming this way.

There was honestly a lot more as of the second. He was going to need to recharge sooner or later.

He's honestly felt as if he'd need a recharge. He was going to be hopeful as of the second.

"Peachy, just need some time to handle this as of the second. My head is killing me a lot more than it should be. My CPU is acting up and I have no idea what to do to stop this, none at all." Jackson said before he turned to leave. It was a lot more interesting

He sighed to himself before he snapped his fingers and left the room, leaving Roxie confused as of the second.
