(A/N plz someone stop me, I need to get a life, plus I can't stop writing new chapters for this story! This chapter focuses mainly on Foxy, Mangle and Foxetta.)
Chapter 3: Mangle's curse: Forever broken on the inside
Foxetta looked at her hands, she heard Ballora trying to comfort Baby as the clown has had another breakdown before a show that morning and another before they closed. The last one, Ballora was busy watching over Bon, relieving the minireenas and Bonnie of their duty of watching the toy for a while. Foxetta felt a hand on her shoulder, she turned to see her sister hug her. "I know how it feels Foxetta. I'm worried about them too." Mangle said softly, reading the older Vixen's mind. Foxetta nodded, glad to know her younger sister felt the same way about the situation. "Thank you…Vixy…" Foxetta said softly. Mangle looked slightly shocked and bowed her head slightly. Foxetta looked at her and put an arm around her shoulders, "what is it sis?" she asked. Mangle shook her head, tears springing to her eyes. "I-I-it's j-just… I have n-not been called that in… a very long time, only you call me by my real name anymore…" Mangle replied softly as she wiped the tears away. Foxetta nodded and took her sister's hand as she stood up, Mangle smiled as she walked off to kids cove.
Halfway down a hall she gasped as she felt searing agony rip through her as she staggered and fell. Trying not to cry out, she grasped the wall with her claws, leaving behind long claw marks. She tried to stand up, only to find her legs would not function properly. Her joints started to lock up as gears loosened, letting out a silent scream of pain and despair she thrashed uncontrollably on the floor as the pain ripped her apart. She felt tears roll down her face as she lay under a spell of the agony. After what felt like hours, she lay still as the pain finally passed.
Crying to herself she crawled on all fours into kid's cove, where she hid in the shadows as she cried. It was not the first time this had happened, many times she had been tried to be repaired, each time she suffered the burden of forever being broken on the inside, no matter what she looked like. Nobody knew about this, except for Foxy. Mangle knew as this continued, she would fall apart anyway. It always happened eventually. "Why do they try to repair me… it only causes more pain and suffering to me…" she whispered.
"Because they be ignorant of what's going on around them. And they say looks matter." A voice replied.
Mangle looked up to see Foxy kneeling down to her level as she sat. "Oh Foxy, why do you say that. I'm guilty for scarring the pizzeria, and Jeremy was the victim…" she said softly as oil ran down her casing. "But that was in 1987 lass. We've all changed…" foxy replied softly as he wrapped his hands around her. "Foxy… can you let me think for a sec, I will be out in a minute." Mangle whispered, Foxy nodded and left. Shutting the door behind her, Mangle felt more and more pain slowly build up into the agony as her curse returned to finish the job. Springs and bolts flew wildly in her endoskeleton as she cried out in pain. The door burst open to reveal Foxetta running into the room "Vixy! Oh no! What's wrong?! You're malfunctioning! Ohgodohgodohgod! She said frantically as Mangle jerked and rolled around from the pain. She crawled painfully to Foxetta as the older vixen held her close, screaming for help as her face plates snapped open and close frantically. Foxy, Freddy, Fred, Chic, Chica, Freddie, Baby, Ballora and Aiden ran into the room. Foxy shoved everyone out of the way and dug his hook into Mangle's casing. Everyone leapt at the pirate but Foxetta drove them back. Between Mangle's loud screams everyone heard her say softly "foxy…p-p- please…-d-d-do I-I-it…." She whispered, tears rolling down her face. Foxy nodded and yelled at everyone but Foxetta to leave. Everyone unwillingly complied and Foxy looked around to see the three foxes were alone. He then proceeded to dig his hook into Mangle's casing while explaining to Foxetta what he was doing. "The reason she is like this is because her body has always been damaged beyond repair. A few years back our two night guards put their noggins together and put a solution where she could look fixed and new on the inside but her frame was compacted into her., right now I'm getting the lever that will trigger her to fall apart again. Aha!" he said pulling at a part of casing as it tore away revealing a control panel that read "repair" and "disrepair" foxy put his hook on the scanner screen and the screen read "Foxy the Pirate fox identified. Welcome Foxy." He then pressed a button and put Foxetta's hand on the scanner "Foxetta the Vixen added. Welcome Foxetta" Foxy then pulled the lever that read "Disrepair" and Mangle sprung apart to what she looked like in 87'.
"Thank you… Foxy" Mangle said softly letting her head fall to the floor, into Foxy's hands as he drew her close. "She will be deactivated for a few hours, so I suggest that you let her rest" Jeremy said picking up the fox. Foxy nodded as Jeremy put Mangle on a pile of pillows and covered her with a blanket. The three of them looked at the sleeping fox as they sat down on tables to talk softly. "I'm glad she won't suffer. Thank you Jeremy and Foxy" Foxetta said softly as she watched her little sister sleep. "I'm glad Vixy has someone to look out for her when I can't…" she added softly. "Oh? Her name's Vixy? Never knew" foxy said. Foxetta laughed "wait, wait, wait! You never knew her real name?! Wow! And you have dated my sister since 1986!" she said in her fit of laughter. "What?!" Jeremy said as he erupted in a fit of laughter with Foxetta. "What's so funny? Freddy asked walking in, he and Foxy exchanged a confused look as the vixen and the night guard were laughing. "Do you know what Mangle's real name is?" foxy asked. "Not a clue, always thought her name was Mangle, why?" Freddy replied causing Foxetta and Jeremy to laugh even harder while the fox and the bear looked confused.
A/N
This is just a little bit of backstory on Mangle for all of you wondering on how in this story Mangle looks fixed and in Lost she was in disrepair. It is simple, in Lost the edit to Mangle was not made so she was in disrepair. In In Your Spotlight, the edit was made. So that's why! Also, happy thanksgiving!
