Greeting: The final stretch is here. Rachel's crew is at the Fazbear's. Now they need to get in.
Let's see how desperate the beast witches are. This battle won't be long though.
( Milla. On the floor of the bus. Somewhere between awake and asleep)
She could faintly hear the fireworks go off. Milla's head was ketchup at that point.
She was in what professionals would have called a rather serious condition. Fritz would have called it barely a flesh wound.
It was in the wrong place which made it more than just a flesh wound. She was bleeding despite all the attempts to cover the wounds.
Blood was trying to burst through the makeshift bandage.
She had no idea of where she was in space and time.
Milla heard a child shriek in fear. There was a monster, clawing that child's window.
Nick peeked out of his own window and shot the monster. He had nothing more than a pistol but it was enough.
One monster jumped at him and grabbed his arm quickly.
Nick pulled his arm back in and shook it.
" Get off me, you dumb critter!", he tried kicking the monster.
Rachel glanced behind herself and saw what was happening.
" Let me do the kicking!", she exclaimed and grabbed the bar, above her head.
Rachel looked amazing as she pulled herself into the air and swung backwards. She gathered momentum and used it to kick the monsters in the face.
Her feet missed Nick's face just barely and hit the monster. One claw got stuck in Nick's arm but his skin gave up and the claw let go.
It left a nasty cut.
" Nick. Your arm!", Carrie told him from the first row of seats.
" It's fine. I can drive", Nick wrapped a bandage around it.
" How far will we go? The monsters will break this soon", Rachel asked him.
Nick's gaze told them not to worry about it.
" Leave it to me", he told the concerned.
Rachel glanced at Carrie and then at the pizzeria. There was something happening there.
Rachel saw an animatronic fighting the monsters. It was Golden freddy.
The Fazbears had drawn some of the attention to themselves so the monsters wouldn't all attack the bus.
The others weren't as obvious as Goldie. Rachel noticed the others after a second or two.
" Get as close to them as possible. We need to make a mad dash for it though", Rachel pointed at the animatronics.
" It's heading this way!", Bonnie noticed on the battlefield.
She teleported into the air. Her guitar came crashing down on a beast witch like the Holy ghost himself.
She was certain that it would work. The beast looked up and teleported away.
Bonnie was scared, the beasts hadn't done that before. Some beasts had tricks up their sleeves, Bonnie had to remember that.
If she hadn't panicked, she probably would have anticipated the attack from behind.
As she landed, the beast appeared behind her and stabbed her in the back. Bonnie shouted in pain as the beast knocked her over.
That had been a cheap shot and Bonnie was on the ground. She waited for the final blow but as usual it never came.
The beast heard screaming on its right and tried to dodge. Dark vixey missed her attack but kicked it after that.
The beast teleported away again and appeared under her.
It was lying there, between her legs.
It attacked but Dark vixey blocked it. Her sword collided with its claw and she tried to push the blade forward.
" You're not as tough as Jenner. And I gave him a hard time in a fight", Dark vixey smiled at the beast as her sword got closer to its face.
" Traitor! Elleroth will devour your soul", the beast witch grinned.
" Well, tell him my regards", Dark vixey pushed her sword forward.
The claw snapped under pressure. The beast slid backwards and got away from the attack.
Dark vixey peeked between her own legs and saw the beast charge.
She did a backflip and sank the sword into the beast's head as she landed on it. The beast let out a horrible screech as it died.
Dark vixey grinned at it angrily.
" Got you", Vixey took over and the fox changed color.
Bonnie got up and groaned a bit.
" Nice to see you here too. What took you so long?", she managed to smile.
Vixey was already covered in blood, Dark vixey had been in a bad mood.
" Dark vixey can feel something powerful around us. It took her time to stop being afraid", explained Vixey.
" Scared? What is wrong with these monsters?", Bonnie shook her head and fought a monster in the mean time.
" I guess we will find that out", Vixey shrugged.
Crystal was right behind her. Bonnie blocked an attack for her.
Crystal killed the beast and sustained almost no damage.
" Thanks!", she thanked Bonnie.
" You're welcome but be careful. Some of these are not messing around", warned Bonnie.
They started fighting together and went back to back. They had to hold for as long as possible.
The bus was getting through but problems showed up pretty fast. One beast had gone under the bus and noticed the fuel pipe there.
It tore the pipe off and got covered in fuel.
" Oh no! We're stopping", Nick noticed it first.
The throttle wouldn't respond to Nick's leg. The bus was, funnily enough, busted.
The animatronics started hearing noises from below.
" They're clawing the floor and trying to break through", Doug said with fear in his voice.
The floor broke and a claw peeked out of the hole. Ray was having bad flashbacks right then.
He grabbed a proper gun and shot at the floor. He heard groaning so those bullets must have hit something down there.
The kids covered their ears and Milla's eyes shot open for a second. Ray had scared everyone with that.
He had also made a lot more holes. The monsters started tearing the floor open faster.
" Good job", Fritz said sarcastically and grabbed a gun too.
The kids started to get up from their seats.
" Watch the floor! Jump over seats if you have to", Carrie ordered immediately.
The floor was breaking. The kids did as they were told.
The aisle was dangerous.
One little girl was too small to get over seats so she went to the aisle. Carrie could feel it coming.
The floor broke right underneath the girl. She fell, screaming as the monsters grabbed her legs.
" No!", Carrie launched to the spot and looked down.
The girl was gone and for a second Carrie covered her mouth.
Then a sudden noise surprised her. The girl shrieked, startled by something.
Carrie heard a growl, followed by sounds of punching and kicking. The girl let out a sound of relief.
" Are you there? Is everything okay?", Carrie shouted into the hole.
She waited for something to answer her but instead she saw someone.
" We are fine, thanks for asking", Toy chica appeared into her view.
She had some blood on her face but apart from that she looked joyful.
" You!", she opened her beak in surprise.
" Hi. I'm back", Carrie smiled at Toy chica.
" Carrie! Help Doug! Come on, sis", Rachel shouted from the front.
" Carrie?", Toy chica raised her other eyebrow.
Carrie had no time to explain. She ran to the front where Doug was trying to stomp the hands, reaching through the floor.
Carrie hoped that Toy chica had the hole in the back covered. There wasn't much space beneath the bus so it was hard to fight in there.
She helped Doug and picked up one child who was on the floor. Doug was holding a baby and seemed really scared for them.
Carrie put the kid onto a chair.
" What do we do now?", one boy asked Rachel who was by the door.
" We fight! Stay behind us and don't look at the violence", Rachel told them.
She was braver as Fritz was next to her. She was also holding the sword that was shivering in lust.
There were so many beasts around them. One beast launched through the door and grabbed Rachel.
" Give me that sword now! Give it to me!", the beast's eyes were burning in hatred.
Its teeth were crawling in its mouth like worms.
Rachel was holding onto the sword for her life. She put her arm in front of it to protect it.
The beast let its teeth sink into the arm and Rachel moaned in pain.
" You won't have it", Rachel muttered through the pain.
Fritz was holding Milla but he also wanted to use his gun.
" I'll take her. Deal with the monsters", Nick told him.
Fritz trusted the life of his daughter to Nick. He pointed the gun at the beast's head.
It was a shotgun.
" Get lost", he said and pulled the trigger.
The beast exploded and blood splattered all over the children on the front. They screamed as they saw their own clothes.
Rachel kicked the beast's corpse, or what was left of it, out the door. She kicked the door in and got ready to fight.
Doug and Carrie were ready to defend the kids to death.
Suddenly, a monster launched through the hole at the back and attacked the kids from behind.
It shrieked like a goose and made other unnatural sounds. The kids bent towards the front of the bus and got ready to die.
Their lives were saved by animatronics once again.
Toy bonnie jumped through one of the windows and grabbed the monster's legs.
" You will stay away from kids! They are not yours!", she yelled.
The monster wiggled its legs and crawled forward. It was probably unable to talk; that one was a real savage.
Toy bonnie got kicked in the face and her snout was bleeding.
" A little help!", she noticed Doug.
The dog glanced at Carrie before going for it. Doug saw that the monster tried to grab a child's leg.
" No you don't", he thought.
Doug kicked the hand away from the child but got hit himself at the same time. The monster was clawing everything that was close to it.
Toy bonnie pulled it backwards and got on top of it. She hammered the monster in the face and grabbed its head.
She twisted the monster's neck upward until she heard it snap. Doug grinned at the sound, it was nasty.
" Are you Bonnie?", Doug asked the foreign bunny.
" I'm actually Toy bonnie. Welcome to Freddy Fazbear's. Where fantasy and...Well, you get the point", Toy bonnie greeted him.
" We are not there yet. Can you help us get through this horde?", Ray asked Toy bonnie.
" Well, that's why I'm here, right? My friends are close by. Let's go", Toy bonnie shrugged.
She ran past Carrie and the others. For a second, she stopped to admire Rachel's sword.
Then she got her bearings back.
" Mangle! Are you there? Toy freddy, Toy chica!", Toy bonnie called out to her friends.
" I'm here", Toy freddy peeked over the edge of the roof. His face was funny, upside down like that.
" What are you doing in there?", Toy bonnie asked him.
" Having a picnic. What do you think?", Toy freddy joked and moaned.
His face vanished as he had to take care of something on the roof.
Based on what the animatronics, inside, heard, it was a rough battle. The roof was banging like crazy.
Toy bonnie and Rachel pushed forward and trusted that nothing would jump at them from above.
Toy bonnie's sword was new and sharp. Jenny had used her magic to make it better.
The Toys had gotten the job to come to the bus. Rachel's sword cut through monsters like a hot knife through butter.
The beasts were all attacking her and Toy bonnie was creeped out by it.
Mr. Fazbear had said that these weren't animatronics, used to fighting.
Rachel seemed pretty good by the looks of it.
Carrie and Doug brought the kids closer to the door. There were just so many monsters.
It was a huge crowd near the bus.
The fighters, closer to the pizzeria, had to fight a decent amount of monsters. The toy animatronics had much to do.
Toy chica was on the right side of the door and Mangle was nowhere to be seen.
Toy freddy was still on the roof fighting for his life.
Carrie and Doug defended the kids with Fritz.
Nick, carrying Milla, and Lena were close to Fritz. They decided to stay back.
Someone had to protect the rear end of the crowd of kids. Toy chica was doing the same.
Toy bonnie had no idea of how they could protect the kids. They had no fire and not enough animatronics.
Carrie and Doug did their best but there were too many monsters. Some tried to jump over them while some climbed onto the roof to get a drop on them.
Toy freddy was concentrating on kicking the monsters off the roof, killing was secondary.
" We need more help. Crap! This won't work", thought Toy bonnie.
She had thought that Freddy would have been able to draw more monsters to the pizzeria.
It hadn't worked at all. Most kids were in the pizzeria.
Why on earth were all the monsters by the bus?
Rachel was doing good work but she was running out of wind. One child got clawed a bit before Doug defeated the monster.
Carrie advised the kids to look at the ground and remain calm.
Fritz's guns were loud and Milla was waking up because of them.
" We are we?", she asked Nick.
The man, looming in front of her face, looked certain and trustworthy.
" We are almost in the pizzeria. We just need to rethink our plan", Nick looked towards the pizzeria.
There were too many monsters, they had to do something.
" You don't have any more fighters? Like at all?", Rachel asked Toy bonnie.
The bunny was slicing and kicking and very worried.
" We thought we could have done this ourselves. Why are these things after you so persistently?", Toy bonnie asked Rachel.
" It's due to this sword. We found it underground. It has a consciousness, I think", Rachel told her.
Toy bonnie wished she wouldn't have asked anything.
" That's nice. Is it grumpy or easy going?", Toy bonnie chuckled nervously.
" Not as grumpy as you might think. It could help us though", Rachel sliced a monster in half.
It looked nasty but Rachel had to keep on going. Every time she killed a monster, another one took its place.
Rachel was clawed, bit and kicked.
" This is enough! We need to push forward", Rachel got tired of it.
They hadn't moved at all. She started walking forward but by doing so she made gaps into their defence.
They had been too scared to move because the bus was one of the biggest defences they had.
Without it, on open ground, they wouldn't have enough animatronics to protect the crowd of kids.
" Rachel! Come back! I can't hold this on my own", Toy bonnie shouted after Rachel.
The others remained still as Rachel vanished into the crowd of monsters.
" Please somebody help us!", Carrie shouted suddenly.
Toy bonnie wondered if anyone heard that. The monsters were so loud.
Toy chica and Toy freddy had their hands full.
Yet still, Toy freddy had time to glanced towards the pizzeria. He was higher and his view wasn't blocked like everyone else's.
" Somebody is coming towards Rachel! Toy bonnie! Help is coming", he shouted joyfully.
Toy bonnie smiled and sighed in relief. Hopefully that somebody was strong.
Rachel heard the joyful screams behind her. She was surrounded and pretty worn out.
That someone was coming for her.
One beast, beside her, was trying to rip the sword off her hands. The other monsters were tearing her to bits.
Rachel screamed in pain as her body was filled with it.
Suddenly, the beast let go of her sword and was pulled backwards. It fell over and looked up.
" Hello", Scarlett greeted it.
She smashed its face in and grinned in anger. Marionette let go of the corpse, he had grabbed it with his strings.
Dark vixey was on their right side.
" Let's take these out", Dark vixey growled.
Rachel saw those three charge through the monsters, between her and them.
Marionette spun like a spinning top and used his strings to take out the monsters, around Rachel.
He looked like a string trimmer; the monsters were grass.
Dark vixey and Scarlett defended Rachel after that as Marionette went to Toy bonnie.
Dark vixey glanced at Rachel's sword and her eyes widened in fear.
" I knew it", she mouthed.
Scarlett had felt it too because of her connection with Jester, a beast witch.
They had to save that sword.
Marionette came to Toy bonnie and helped her deal with the monsters. Scarlett, Rachel and Dark vixey came to them as well.
With three more animatronics, the strongest one among them, they had the chance to make it to the pizzeria.
Toy freddy got ready to jump off the roof.
Suddenly he realized something.
" Where's Mangle? I can't see her. We can't leave without her", he shouted to the animatronics, below.
Carrie and Doug looked around with Nick, Lena and Fritz.
Toy freddy couldn't see Mangle anywhere near the bus.
" Mangle! Where are you?", he shouted to the wind.
The others started calling out to her as well.
" Help me", a tiny voice shouted from under the bus.
" There!", Ray looked under the bus.
Mangle was there trying to defend herself. She was flailing her sword around, panicking.
She was quite injured. Carrie glanced there too.
She remembered how Mangle had tried to save the blue bunny's life at the Grayson hill.
" Hold on, Mangle! I'm coming!", Carrie shouted to her and crouched down.
She crawled underneath the bus to rescue Mangle.
" Carrie! Come back. It's too dangerous for you", Ray tried to stop her.
Carrie turned a deaf ear. She couldn't live if she didn't at least try to help Mangle. Carrie would have been a monster.
The animatronics were ready to go but Mangle had to be saved. Ray tried to follow but Fritz stopped him.
" You are too big, Ray. Maybe little Carrie can actually do it", he told the raccoon.
Carrie crawled and took care of the monsters, attacking her. Mangle was wounded and in great pain.
" Help me!", she whimpered.
Carrie came to her and dealt with a persistent beast witch. Mangle's stomach was half open and her thighs were covered in oil.
Carrie looked into her eyes.
" Can you crawl, Mangle? I'm here to help you. Just hang on", she told the injured fox.
" Thank you. I think I can. I just want to go back inside. Warmth and rest", Mangle was not focused on the situation.
" We'll be there in no time. Come on", Carrie smiled at her and took her hand.
They started crawling towards Ray's feet and safety of their friends.
" So, pink bunny. How are you here? I thought you died", Mangle inquired.
" My name's Carrie. It's a long story. I survived. I bet my boyfriend would be proud of me", Carrie told Mangle.
" That's a fine name. It's short and cute", Mangle smiled, staring into the horizon of her daydreams.
Carrie had to defend her as monsters were coming from all directions.
" Pull her out of here!", Carrie handed Mangle over to Ray.
He pulled her back to the safety of outside as Carrie helped herself.
" Everybody's rescued! Let's go! Chop, chop!", Fritz shouted to everyone.
They took off and abandoned the bus where it stood. Marionette defended the perimeter rather well.
Thanks to his strings, he covered as much ground as four animatronics.
Rachel, Mangle and Milla were wounded so that was good. Mangle wasn't fighting, she was dizzy and all over the place.
Rachel tried to fight but she was worn out. Her endoskeleton was showing through her back.
The monsters had ripped her back plates out completely.
Milla was dying, some children, around the outside of the crowd, were wounded and crying.
They were running for their lives. Freddy, Bonnie, Foxy and Storm were by the pizzeria, ready to let the kids in and retreat back inside.
Mike was ready with his strings, he would help Marionette keep the monsters back.
" Come here quickly! Everybody inside. Children and other humans go first", Bonnie was by the broken, unprotected window.
It went well thanks to Marionette and Mike. They were the ones, protecting everyone.
Everybody else went inside, Freddy himself last. Then Marionette and Mike got ready for the dangerous retreat.
Mr. Fazbear closed the shield but Marionette and Mike were still outside.
" Four, three, two and one! Now, Mike!", Marionette counted.
Then they both stopped fighting in a second and ran to the window as fast as they could.
The shield was almost down as they fell on their bottoms and slid forward. Both puppets were slinky so they were able to slid under the closing shield.
Mike had come up with that Indiana Jones stunt.
It worked surprisingly.
The monsters launched at the shield as it closed down and locked in place.
Mike glanced at it, once inside, and heard the monsters clawing it without any effect.
The monsters were growling and screaming at the sky. Lightning lit up the sky to reveal the Apocalypse witch's rage.
They were safe inside though. The animatronics were panting and the humans were lying on the ground in relief.
" That was close. Way too close. Your plan didn't work out. Unlike you claimed", Marionette looked at Toy bonnie.
It had something to do with a private discussion they had had earlier.
" Sorry, Marionette. The monsters were all by the bus. That sword was attracting them like a flower attracts wasps", Toy bonnie pointed at Rachel.
" It's okay. We are all safe. Welcome to Freddy's, new guys", Mike welcomed the new people and animatronics.
" We will be delighted to stay. We went through Hell and beyond to come here", Nick smiled at him.
The long journey had ended. Rachel and Doug's crew was finally there, at Freddy Fazbear's, the best place on earth.
Farewell: They made it successfully. Now, we'll get back to the mysterious sword. That will be the next chapter. THE ONLY WAY TO LIVE IS TO WRITE.
