"Wait what?" Bonnie stammered, his ears going all the way down his head.
"Ye heard me, we be goin' t' th' Enchanted Forest, right now." Foxy said as he marched in the other direction, grabbing his sword that was thrown into the dirt and shoving it into his pocket for it. Freddy sighed and mumbled something before following the red fox. Bonnie and the chicken followed suit.
After a few minutes of awkward silence, Bonnie turned his head to the chicken. "Hey, we never got your name by the way."
"Oh right, my name's Chica," she smiled "what about you?"
"I'm Bonnie and that grumpy bear over there is Freddy," he pointed at Freddy who had his arms folded and not really paying attention to everything around him.
"And who's that fox with the weird accent?" She pointed at Foxy.
"You don't know Foxy?" Bonnie gasped.
Chica chuckled and said, "Well, I am from the city so I really don't."
"Well," he started "Foxy is one of the greatest pirates out there. He is one of the main animatronics spreading our map of the world and letting us see new things about other places!"
"Woah, he sounds really cool!" Chica beamed.
"No he isn't," Freddy intervened, looking at the two in the back "he's just some dumb fox that has too much to drink."
"Nah true ye grumpy ole bear."
"I am not old!"
"Here we be, th' Enchanted Forest!" Foxy said, motioning to the wall of trees in front of them. They all looked at it with intimidation, well, all of them except for Freddy. Noises emitted from the forest and a faint, purple glow was shining deep within the forest. Foxy turned back to everyone with a large grin on his face. "Well, wha' are ye waitin' fer? Let's go in!"
"Wait, we're just gonna walk in just like that?" Bonnie whimpered.
Foxy looked at Bonnie and smiled calmly. "Don't worry, if ye wants ye can hold me hand through th' first bit," he held out his hand and flicked his tail. Bonnie nodded and grabbed onto his hand, making sure to stay close by to the pirate. Foxy looked at Chica and Freddy. "Now be cautious on where ye're goin'. Don't get distracted by any lights, sounds, or anythin' else while goin' in. Jus' stay by me."
The other two nodded, Freddy more reluctant than Chica, and got close to Foxy. Foxy stepped into the forest, bringing Bonnie along with him, and waited a while for the other two. His golden eyes shone brightly in the dark shadow. Freddy and Chica stepped in and they went off, their eyes glowing brightly.
It stayed dark. The dirt was cold and wet as their feet sunk into it. All sorts of noises and faint lights were seen, but they stayed close to one another and being careful not to get separated. Bonnie held on tight to Foxy's hand, staying very cautious and keeping his ears perked up. Chica was calmly following them, looking around and being careful not to step on anything large. Freddy just sulked.
They came to a small clearing, where another wall of trees stood in their way. Foxy looked back and was glad to see everyone still there. "Alright, now here comes th' jaw drop," he said as he walked between the trees. The others followed cautiously and prepared themselves for whatever they might see.
Instead of seeing more darkness and wet mud, it was light and dry and just...
"Beautiful..." Bonnie gasped as he looked at everything around him. The trees above gave off enough light to show just how amazing the forest really is. A path of dirt laid in front of them as all sorts of plants never seen before surrounded them. There were also a few of those crystals in the ground, but it wasn't as many as there were in the town. Large rocks were seen with what looked like carvings of animals on them. Butterflies fluttered about and the sounds of birds tweeting filled the air. "This isn't at all of what people make this forest out to be..."
"Yeah, 'tis kinda sad. I wish more scallywags shared th' beauty o' this forest instead o' tryin' t' hide it from everyone." Foxy hummed and put his hands on his hips. "Now come on, let's follow th' path 'n get movin'!" Foxy started marching and stayed on the path ahead. Bonnie, now just noticing that he let go of Foxy's hand, quickly ran to him and stayed right by him once again. Freddy and Chica still just followed along, taking in everything around them for the second time.
"Wow, I can't believe I've never known of this place before." Chica chirped as a smile formed on her beak.
Freddy said nothing as he just looked around. After a few minutes of walking, they saw a small cabin at the end of the path. "Here we be." Foxy sang, wagging his tail.
Freddy looked at it. "That's just looks abandoned. I don't think anyone lives there," he said.
"Aye, but someone does live thar," Foxy said with a toothy grin. "Someone mighty...angelic."
Freddy scoffed and followed Foxy to the door. Bonnie and Chica looked at it cautiously as Foxy knocked on the door. It was silent. The occasional bird chirp here and there but other than that it was quiet.
"...Welp, no one's home, let's go." Freddy ushered, walking off the patio. Foxy grunted and knocked on the door once again. Freddy sighed, "there's nobody ho-"
The door unlocked and slowly opened. Freddy stopped dead in his tracks and turned around. "Can I help you?" someone asked. It wasn't a voice Freddy recognized. He slowly walked back to the door.
"Vincent, great t' see ye again!" Foxy exclaimed. He hugged the owner of the unknown voice, making it impossible to see them.
After a minute, they pulled away and were shocked. The owner of the voice wasn't anything like them. It wasn't any specific animal they knew of. The person had dark purple hair tied back into a ponytail, pale skin and a simple purple shirt with black jeans.
However, there was something else to this guy. Not only was he drastically different than anyone they've ever seen, he had giant, white wings on his back and a golden ring floating above his head.
Bonnie pushed Foxy out of the way and looked at Vincent with sparkles in his eyes. "Oh my Scott, you're an angel!"
Vincent giggled as Bonnie stood there completely amazed. Freddy was at a loss for words. He didn't believe in angels or magic, but here was an angel standing right there. Foxy got up and smirked at the bear. "Nah real, eh?"
"Shut up you-"
"Hey, let's bring you and your friends inside, it's gonna rain in a few!" Vincent called to Foxy. Foxy nodded and motioned for everyone to follow. The four animatronics went inside, looking at the interior design. Most of the fabric seen was a deep shade of purple and a single lantern was keeping the whole place lit.
"This looks cozy," Chica noted as she sat on the couch and propped her legs up on the coffee table, making sure to keep her legs crossed so the others wouldn't see up her dress.
Vincent chuckled again. "So what brings you here?" He asked Foxy.
"Well, we 'ave a bit o' a problem," Foxy said, fixing his hat once again "a crystal problem."
Freddy pulled out the crystal from the ship out of his pocket and showed it to the angel in front of him. Vincent grabbed it and closely examined it, a frown on his face. "Oh...this is not good..."
Bonnie stood next to Freddy and held onto him. "You can help, right? Foxy said you can help us." Bonnie asked, sounding like a desperate child.
"Well...what were the Malenchite crystals doing?" Vincent pointed at the crystal in his hand as it glowed red.
"They were infecting our town and trapping people in these dome things," Freddy explained and made a mini dome with his fingers.
"They also infected me ship 'n caused me t' crash into th' bay," Foxy interjected, "'n if it weren't fer this bunny here I prolly would 'ave died from bein' underneath those planks." He patted Bonnie's back and smiled. Bonnie smiled as well but was trying to keep calm while Foxy patted him. Vincent looked at Foxy and gave him a look. Foxy sighed. "Thar were only red 'n purple ones."
Vincent groaned. "You've gotta be kidding me..."
"Is the color of them important?" Freddy asked, looking around the cabin.
"Yes, it's very important," Vincent walked over to a counter and placed the red crystal into a glass container "the color of them determines how dangerous they are."
"D-D-Dangerous?" Bonnie trembled and grabbed onto Freddy even tighter.
"Aye, dangerous," Foxy said "red ones bein' th' most dangerous 'n white bein' completely mild. Everythin' else be somewhere in between those two."
"There were a lot of red ones..." Chica added, sinking deeper into the couch and being uncomfortable.
Vincent looked at them and looked back at the crystal in the container. "Really?"
"Yeah, while I was being cornered I noticed how all of them were red and none were purple surrounding me." Chica got up and walked to the group, patting her dress and apron down.
"But...But red Malenchite's aren't as common as purple ones...they're not common at all..." Vincent said, making the others panic a bit (well except for Foxy). "Something, or someone, put them there..."
"Who would place those crystals in our town and in Foxy's ship?" Bonnie asked, still shaking.
"I believe I know who."
