Greeting: The final battle continues. Leslie and Storm Jr. are still not quite there.
The Fazbears just need to hang on. I think they might also have Jenner to deal with soon.
Enjoy!
( By the Fazbear's pizzeria. The final battle. A minute earlier)
The monsters had joined in and they were jumping over the building.
Mike moved to defend that side and Marionette stayed on the other.
Rachel, Doug and Carrie moved to Mike's side along with the toy animatronics.
They did that to protect Willa and Thunder. Faith had just left them alone.
As the sky was filled with lights that surrounded one of the floating rocks, Willa got scared.
She pleaded Thunder to just wake up.
" Please! Thunder, what is wrong with you? The enemies are all around us!", she panicked.
" He spoke to me", Thunder muttered silently.
That was the first thing he had said since the beginning of the battle. Willa was trying to make sense of it but she couldn't hear anything.
Funnily enough, she couldn't hear Thunder because of thunder. Electra was putting all of her might into electrocuting Eclipse.
Luckily, Eclipse wasn't able to see anything from his hole in the rock. Eclipse was in an oven of lightning at the moment.
" Come on, Thunder! Something's going to get us soon if you don't move. We are in a very bad spot here!", Willa was nearly screaming into his ear.
Crystal, Catty and some others were in the middle of the other Fazbears. That was where Willa and Thunder should have been too.
Staying next to the pizzeria wasn't good.
Mangle came to them just like Eclipse had earlier.
" Willa! What the heck are you doing in here? Move already! You two are defenceless like toddlers!", she told the scared wolf.
Willa was shaking in panic and her teeth were clanking. She bit her own tongue to keep herself from screaming.
" Thunder won't move. He has been just staring forward like a lunatic this whole time. He won't move!", Willa whimpered in desperate anxiety.
Mangle was breathing heavily due to stress.
The others tried to defend them but it was hard. The lines had moved forward and there was a gap between the animatronics and the pizzeria.
Willa and Thunder were in the hot zone, so to speak.
Mangle glanced at Toy freddy who had no ideas. She sighed and looked into Willa's eyes.
" We'll protect you. Start dragging him towards Crystal and Catty. You'll be safer there", said Mangle.
Willa nodded to her and seemed to calm down at least a bit.
Then red eyes peeked over Mangle's shoulder and a cat's teeth could be seen in the dark.
At the same time, Faith crashed nearby.
The loud thump was amplifying the dread like darkness amplifies a horror story. They could feel the shockwave coming from where Faith had landed.
Willa screamed as loudly as she could when Elleroth rose above Mangle and the others.
Thunder's gaze was following the cat as he remained silent.
Mangle turned around and her eyes widened; there was no time to do anything.
The toy animatronics turned around just in time to see Mangle's neck get grabbed.
Her feet rose off the ground and she started gacking.
Willa embraced Thunder in fear while Elleroth chuckled with his deep voice.
" No!", Toy chica ran at him and tried to make him release Mangle.
Her punch had no effect. Elleroth slapped her and she flew into a wall; she hit it beak first.
Toy freddy and Toy bonnie furiously charged at Elleroth.
" Don't! He's invulnerable! You'll...break..your swords", Mangle gacked just in time.
Both animatronics stopped. The monsters had left them alone when their leader had showed up.
Two beast witches with their crews had cut Mike off. He was somewhere behind Toy freddy and Toy bonnie with Rachel's crew.
Elleroth looked at Mangle who was gasping in both fear and for air.
" You are one of the smart ones, aren't you?
So innocent and so beautiful. I smell toddlers on you. And fear above all", Elleroth chuckled and petted Mangle's cheek creepily.
His hand was cold and made Mangle shiver.
" Don't touch her!", Toy bonnie shouted in anger.
Toy freddy stopped her. Mangle's eyes too were telling Toy bonnie to keep her cool.
Suddenly Elleroth threw Mangle back to her friends. Toy bonnie embraced Mangle and she rubbed her own neck to make the air flow again.
" But I ain't here for tiny machines like you, as intoxicating as your scent might be", Elleroth told her.
Then he looked at Willa and smiled.
" Hello. My son has told me much about you and your sister", Elleroth smiled at Willa wickedly.
" Don't come closer", Willa shivered in fear.
" As a god, I can do whatever I want. Plus, there's something I want from you", Elleroth told her.
Willa was visibly shaking.
" I am not important. Storm Jr. is and she is far away from here. There's nothing I can give you", Willa was shocked.
" There is but you are just too stupid to..", Elleroth started.
That was interrupted by a loud scream, coming from behind.
Willa didn't even have to look around Elleroth to see that her mother had come to save her.
Storm was running at Elleroth with her sword in the air.
" These Legend wolves. They never learn the lesson", Elleroth looked at Willa amusedly.
Storm's attack attempt was futile, Elleroth didn't even bother to glance at her as her sword hit his back and broke in two.
Like Mangle and many other knew, Elleroth and Black were invulnerable. Only the Shadow blade could harm them.
Elleroth turned around, punching Storm as she glanced at her broken sword.
Storm faced the dirt and all air was blown out of her body. Dust appeared above her and put his blade onto her throat.
" Going somewhere?", he asked her.
" General. I believe you know that I don't like being interrupted when I am having a conversation. It was your job to keep her away.
Didn't the last time, you failed me, teach you anything?", Elleroth asked him.
A huge scar appeared onto Dust's face and he groaned. Elleroth did that.
It was probably something that Elleroth had done to him earlier. That scar had gone but Elleroth had brought it back to remind Dust of his punishment.
" It did, my liege. I apologize. She noticed that her daughter was in trouble so she slipped from my grasp", Dust apologized to him.
The scar vanished slowly. Elleroth nodded as if he was able to feel or understand empathy.
Storm was growling and her hatred ran deep.
" Stay away from my daughter, you monster!", she growled at Elleroth.
Storm was too angry to wonder what she would do if Elleroth tried to kill Willa. Everyone else was scared to death.
" You have made a mistake, little one. Your tiny daughter doesn't interest me. My servants will kill her, I have bigger fish to fry", Elleroth told Storm.
Dust knew that this was his time to tell Storm the truth. The moment, her daughter was about to die was the perfect moment.
" She and you will follow Storm Jr. to the grave. I wonder if she is still alive inside that swamp where I threw her.
The water should have gotten into her core by now, rusting her away slowly, killing her with its tormenting effect", Dust told her, smiling at her face.
He had pleasure in those eyes of his. Storm's eyes widened in grief and she let out a moan of sorrow.
Elleroth paid very little attention to Dust's rambling. He had his eyes on the price.
Willa was so scared when Elleroth walked closer to her and Thunder.
" What do you want? What the hell do you want from me?", Willa asked, holding Thunder tightly.
Thunder's hands moved and he pushed Willa's arms away.
" Haven't you figured it out yet, stupid? He wants me, the rest of you don't matter", Thunder told her.
He was staring at Elleroth and his eyes turned red. Willa was next to him so she didn't see the eyes.
Toy bonnie and Mangle began to realize what was going on.
" No!", Willa went between Elleroth and Thunder.
" You can't have him, beast! He will not be tortured by you and your kin ever again", Willa said defiantly.
Elleroth responded by laughing like a madman.
" Willa. Get over here now!", Toy freddy said to her.
Willa was so close to getting killed. Storm tried to tell her to obey Toy freddy.
Dust kept on talking and forced Storm to look at him.
Thunder's eyes were as red as Elleroth's and the gaze changed as well.
Dust covered Storm's mouth and chuckled into her ear.
" You are actually going to want to see this. At least you'll be with your other daughter at the time of her death", he whispered to her.
Elleroth went closer to Willa and Dust continued.
" It must have been a shock to her. Little Storm Jr. all by herself stuck in a swamp. I thought a watery grave would be a good place for her.
Then her tears wouldn't leave puddles on the ground", Dust chuckled.
The rest of the animatronics were not coming, not that it would have even mattered.
The monsters had surrounded Willa and the toy animatronics.
Elleroth looked at Willa amusedly.
" You foolish girl. He wants to be with me. The ritual was a success but the Sorcerer refused to give in that easily. Amnesia was a side effect.
We meant to take care of it when he woke up. Unfortunately, you had to attack us.
You should have heard how his sister raged at that old factory. But now my son is with us again", Elleroth said to Willa.
Before Willa could scream or her eyes could widen in fear, Jenner grabbed her.
" Hello, Willa. I remember you now. All those times, Storm Jr. spoke with you about Leslie. How could I forget you?
Your disgusting face is easy to remember", Jenner told her.
Willa could only whimper in fear. Jenner was his old self again and his powers were rising.
" Storm Jr. was right. Leslie was in there. Only his soul though.
We brought Jenner in but couldn't identify him without Leslie or his memories", it all hit Willa.
Then she was tossed next to the toy animatronics. Willa landed right beside Toy chica who was slowly starting to wake up.
" Hello, father. I have come back to witness this new world", Jenner's red eyes were looking at Elleroth's.
" There is much to do, my son", Elleroth smiled, in ecstasy caused by Jenner's power.
" I can't remember much yet. I recall back-eyed creatures eating me. What happened to me?", Jenner asked his father.
" Those monsters couldn't keep their teeth off you. Electra told them not to touch you but they couldn't obey", Elleroth told him.
Willa, the Toys and Storm were forced to witness the macabre scene. The ritual had been done, Leslie was gone. It was only Jenner now.
Storm Jr. had been right about the factory.
Willa was freaked out by how long Jenner had been walking in their pizzeria. He was still a brown wolf but his cuteness was gone.
There was no more Thunder, only Jenner remained.
" Come, son. Come with me to the sky. Let's leave these weaklings to die.
Your sister will join us after she has had her fun", Elleroth beckoned Jenner to follow.
Jenner rose to the air and started floating towards the clouds. Elleroth followed him.
Then he glanced back at Dust who was still waiting.
" Finish them off, general. Slowly or quickly, I don't care", Elleroth said to him.
The beast witches left and Dust was left with the animatronics.
" Slowly it is then", he smiled at Storm.
Elleroth was gone and Dust wasn't invulnerable. When he tried to decapitate Storm, Willa charged in.
Dust hadn't expected Willa to rush in like that, she had seemed so scared.
When things kicked off, the monsters, on the roof, attacked the toy animatronics. They jumped and came in like rain
Dust blocked Willa's attack with a dark gauntlet, in his hand. The purple mist, coming from him, covered him again.
That is why Storm had had so much trouble this time. Dust had formed not only weapons but also armor out of the dark mist.
Willa was surprised by it.
Storm saw that her time had come and bit Dust's other hand before the armor could appear.
Dust groaned and lost his grip.
Storm kicked him in the chest and Dust got stunned for a second. After that, she went to protect Willa.
" Are you alright, baby?", Storm asked, worried.
Willa nodded to her.
Storm had to focus on the enemy since Dust got up and grinned.
" There's the Storm I know. Good to have you back, almighty Stormy", he smiled a bit too.
" Feeling's not mutual", Storm grinned and charged at him.
Willa tried to stay close to the ground and keep herself out of the monsters' focus.
Dust dodged Storm's swift attacks and blocked some with his armor. The sword made whistling noise as it cut air.
There were few uncovered spots in his body. Face was one, waist was another. Dust had come prepared this time.
He knew that Storm would be carrying a sword, capable of destroying him. He couldn't afford getting wounded.
He had seen many of his warriors fall. He was proud of his strength though.
Storm did a strike downwards. Dust dodged towards the pizzeria and rolled.
He was closer to the pizzeria and he smiled. Dust realized how he could use his strength to his advantage.
The windows were broken but there were columns between them. He grabbed one and straight up tore it off the pizzeria's wall.
Storm's eyes widened in surprise. Dust looked ridiculous, swinging the giant pole around like a troll.
No one was laughing because getting hit by that would have meant serious damage.
" Are you having fun yet? Because I'm getting started", Dust asked Storm.
There was nothing fun about the situation. Storm leaned backwards to dodge the incoming attack.
The bricks flew past her vision and scraped her snout leaving behind tiny painful marks.
Willa froze her hands and attacked Dust from behind. The armor was covering his entire back.
But Willa was merely a distraction. Dust would have to focus on her too.
Willa could use her sword to take him out.
Dust slammed the pillar downwards to crush Willa. That attack would have obliterated her if it had hit.
" You are a real vermin. Time to crush the insect", Dust grinned angrily.
Storm tried to see if Dust's armor could be penetrated. All she needed was one good stab.
Suddenly a monster went between them and blocked Storm's attack. They were protecting their general after all.
Storm had no idea why, Dust was just a tool for them.
Maybe Electra had something to do with it.
Storm pushed her sword forward and attempted to impale the monster as well. Then she was pinned down by four more monsters.
Willa backed off against a wall while Dust attacked her. She created an ice barrier in front of her.
That stopped the column from squishing her. The barrier cracked the sound of the impact made Willa cover her face. She thought the ice would have broken.
" Your sister didn't provide this much resistance. You should be proud of yourself. Your death will be honorable", Dust told her.
Willa grinned.
" My father will come for us. Once he hears what you did to Storm Jr., he'll kill you", she told him.
Dust pushed the column forward and laughed.
" Oh yes. Fang the pirate wolf. Can't tolerate the dread. He already fought me with your mother earlier. I'd say he's still back to back with Foxy.
Don't worry, my friends will keep them company. Phantoms are just so much fun to play with", Dust was amused.
Willa realized that help wasn't coming. The toy animatronics were busy at least.
All she could see, behind Dust, was Marionette's swords swinging at the back. Goldie was somewhere there as well.
It was hard to spot him in the middle of all the other yellow animatronics.
Willa's barrier broke after taking a few hits and she had to dodge to the left.
" No!", Storm shouted behind Dust.
He struck another column which collapsed. The front of the pizzeria looked like it could collapse any second.
" I'm okay, mom!", Willa got up.
Storm let out a sigh, her only daughter wasn't dead yet.
Willa looked at the pizzeria and saw how close the front of the roof was to collapsing.
Then she looked at Storm who was getting bombarded by monsters. One was holding onto Storm's head and smacking it against the ground rapidly.
Dust had probably telepathically told them to keep Storm away so he could have fun with Willa.
Dust had reasoned that Willa would never be able to kill him by herself.
Storm Jr. hadn't provided much resistance so how could Willa do better. She was smaller than her sister and not very strong.
Then Willa realized that the pizzeria's roof, at the front, was actually going to fall.
" Wait! That's it. Dust is swinging the column around", she got an idea.
Storm was reaching out to her at the back but Willa knew that she could do it herself.
She had her sword and Dust was underestimating her. Willa dodged to the left as Dust attacked.
The situation seemed hopeless but it wasn't. All Willa needed was a good hit.
The armor made it hard to do but Willa knew how to make it easier.
She remembered how one boy had been talking to her and showing her his new game.
" So you just go around killing these giants and that's the entire game. On this level, you just make it break the place down.
Once the place falls on it, it's ready for you to terminate", the boy had explained it to her.
Willa had disliked that game since she wasn't a gamer. She had wondered why anyone would need to be good at that game to be a better person.
Dust, swinging the column, had reminded her of that giant.
She just had to dodge.
Willa was making her way towards another column. It wasn't going to be standing for long.
" No, you don't. Do not try to seek your friends' help. They are busy ignoring you", Dust was smiling.
Willa wasn't actually trying to escape, why would have she done that.
No! She was going to kill Dust and this time he wasn't coming back.
To be honest, Willa thought it was merciful for him.
Dust's eyes were red and his soul was corrupted. He was better as a dead wolf.
Willa ducked and heard the columns loudly crash into each other.
Dust's column was breaking slowly but the other one broke down right away. The ceiling was getting a lot of stress on it.
The monsters were on the roof and there was nothing to support it. Dust was too focused on attacking to notice it though.
" Just stay still for one second! Don't you want to see your sister again?", Dust teased her.
He was fooling no one, Dust was getting angry.
Willa doubted that her sister was really dead. Storm had told her what Storm Jr. had gone to do.
Dust thought that Storm Jr. had fled. Storm Jr. wouldn't give up so easily when it came to Leslie.
Willa could also feel that she was alive.
Guess it was like how Storm Jr. had felt that Leslie was alive. Willa was certain that Storm Jr. was still alive and happy.
That was the first moment, in that battle, when Willa thought that they might win.
If her guts were right, the Phantoms would get a very nasty surprise soon.
Unfortunately as far as Willa was concerned, Dust wasn't going to be there to see it.
Willa moved to the left to get another column.
" I think you are just getting old. Anyone else would have gotten me by now", she teased Dust.
The next attack scraped Willa's side as she rolled to the left. It wasn't much but unfortunately the tinies cuts are always the most painful.
" Getting old, huh? Let's see if you can ramble like that when you are a bloody splatter on the ground", grinned Dust.
Storm was getting more and more hopeless. She was getting too tired to heal.
" Willa is playing with death. I must get to her before he kills her too", thought Storm.
Dust attacked the final column that was holding the front roof up.
The entire front was going down. Previously, there had been windows and brick columns between them.
Now the windows were broken and so were the columns.
Mr. Fazbear would get a heart attack when he came out.
Dust attacked the final column with more force and it broke instantly. The roof was making promising sounds, it sounded weak.
" You can't run forever. Perhaps this column wasn't a good idea. I'll just kill you with my sword now", he took it out.
" Too bad I can't see you get crushed", he added.
Willa smiled and backed away. She went inside the pizzeria and Dust followed her.
" That is unfortunate. Let me make it up to you. You can see yourself get crushed!", she told him.
" What?", Dust asked in confusion.
Then the roof made a sharp noise and collapsed. Willa ran past the surprised Dust and jumped out of the way.
The roof crashed down making a noise as loud as thunder.
The monsters, around Storm, turned around to see their general get crushed. Storm used it and broke free while they were confused.
After dealing with them she ran to Willa.
" Are you okay, darling?", Storm kissed her.
Willa was and she was also very happy. She got up and looked at Dust.
There was one more thing to do. Dust hadn't died, instead he laughed while he got out of the rubble.
" You can't kill me with that! I'm immortal", he said and faced the sky.
When he looked towards the yard, he saw Willa in front of him. The little wolf had her sword out and she looked angry.
" But you have just lost your armor. And now you are ready to be crushed", she told him.
Dust looked at his own body to see that the armor was broken. Then a blade came into his view and went through his chest.
He looked at the blade and then at Willa who was holding the sword.
It had gone through his chest and just like so Dust vanished leaving nothing but smoke behind.
It floated right there where Dust had been until the smoke too was taken away by the wind.
" Off you go", said Willa before letting out a sigh of relief.
Farewell: Dust is now gone. I originally had another plan for him but I faced so many problems with the idea that I forgot about it.
Hopefully I satisfied you enough.
Still no sign of Storm Jr. and Leslie. They must be on their way.
Before that, Eclipse should defeat Electra to redeem himself and his parents. That will be the next chapter.
THE ONLY WAY TO LIVE IS TO WRITE.
