Chapter 3: Shadows Revealed
7:00 PM...new house...
Foxy, Mangle and Bon Bon arrived at their new house, and they had to admit it was pretty nice. They took time to look around making sure everything was in working order and admired the large chairs, big couch, 80 inch TV, and marble floors. The bedrooms had carpet which pleased Bon Bon, of course she had to nearly break up a fight between Foxy and Mangle who argued over who got which room, in the end Bon Bon chose for them. They placed their boxing ring in the basement and anything extra they had. After they were all satisfied, they met up in the upstairs hallway.
"I like this house, it's so beautiful!" Bon Bon said.
"Hmm, but we could get some paint, mabye new curtains." Mangle thought.
"You two landlubbers can do whatever you want, I'm thinking about going out for a run...I still need to stretch my legs." Foxy said waving them off and going downstairs.
"Fine, but for our sake, do NOT get into any trouble!" Mangle followed him downstairs with a growl.
Foxy turned back to her with a serious look.
"I know that Mangle! It's the whole reason we are here! Just get my back already!" Foxy snarled at her.
"Fine!" Mangle walked away.
Foxy shook his head, he really did need to get out of the house already. As he stepped out, he expected some cold air to just smack him in the face, but he was met by surprisingly warm air. He smiled and began to walk down a sidewalk, passing by the house that those three figures were leaning against.
"Hmm, where could those guys be? They better not come after me." Foxy shook his head.
He held up his hook that twinkled at the sharp end, he really hoped he didn't have to use it on anyone. He came to a steep hill and peered down, below was an intersection with lots of traffic, mabye he could jump it.
"This will be fun!" Foxy smirked and started stretching.
Though he has been downtown several times in the past, he wasn't used to it's directions, so he had to be careful. Soon he started jogging down the hill, his feet began to pick up speed, jogging turned into sprinting and finally he was racing down the hill, no obstacle in sight. He laughed feeling the wind against his fur. Finally he reached the bottom and came towards the intersection. Lots of cars crossed so he would definitely need to jump for it. He passed by some people who were shocked by the speed of the fox.
"IMCOMING MATEY'S!" Foxy yelled.
Foxy then starts jumping from car to car, receiving a few insults and honking but he ignored them and made it to the other side and kept running. He eventually ended up on the rooftops and was jumping from building to building having a lot of fun. But then, he thought he saw what looked like one of the figures he saw earlier. The figure was also running across rooftops, seemingly coming right at him. They were at least 4 buildings apart from each other. All Foxy could tell was that it was a bunny judging by the ears.
"Argh, time to find out who this bunny is." Foxy decided.
At the next edge he lunged high up, and so did the bunny. They soared towards each other and when they crossed paths, the large moon lit up their full bodies, red and purple fur rubbing against each other. In slow motion, you could see the two looking back at each other giving a death glare. Unfortunately Foxy didn't get a really good look at him since they were going too fast.
He landed on a rooftop and looked back but the bunny was gone.
"Hmm, strange." Foxy rubbed his chin with his hook.
Suddenly the sounds of crying made his ears rise up. He climbed down the building he was on and looked around.
"Arr, where be the trouble?" Foxy wondered looking around.
That's when he spotted a little red-brown haired boy wearing a red and blue striped shirt, a propeller beanie, blue pants and brown shoes. The kid was holding a balloon and looked lost. Foxy could see the fear in his eyes and went over to him.
"Ahoy matey, what's with the waterworks?" Foxy asked putting a clawed hand on his shoulder.
"I'm lost Mr. Fox, I was at home when I accidentally let go of my balloon, so I snuck away from home to get another from a stand and now I can't remember my way back." The boy cried.
Foxy felt sorry for the kid and decided to help him...it was the least he could do. He bent down to wipe the tears away from the boy's face with a claw, careful not to cut him.
"Don't worry lad, I'll help you home."
"You will? Thank you Mr. Fox!" The boy hugged him.
"Call me Foxy lad. Now come on, let's get ya back home...do you at least remember some directions?" Foxy asked.
"Yeah." The boy smiled and nodded.
"What's your name lad?"
"BB. Balloon Boy is just a nickname because I really like balloons." BB chuckled.
Unknown to them, one of the criminals was following them. As they reached a crosswalk, they had to wait. Foxy held on to BB's hand tight knowing some of these streets were not to be trusted.
"I see you're good with kids and helping them out." Came a female voice.
Foxy turned to see a yellow chicken with her hands on her hips. Foxy's eyes widened as he examined this girl. She was about an inch shorter than him. She had three large feathers on the back of her head from under a bandanna. The feathers on the sides of her head stuck out like spikes and curled upwards like horns. On her face she had blue eye-shadow and her cheeks were light red. She wore a white tubetop with the words: "LET'S FIGHT" written on it, pink miniskirt, stockings, black fingerless gloves and spiked bracelets on her wrists. Foxy at first couldn't figure how to respond to her.
"Uh...er...yeah...I-I was just...helping this kid find his house is all." Foxy nervously smiled.
BB could tell what was going on and he giggled silently.
"That's nice, just don't be running into trouble. I heard about you..." The chicken said with a smirk growing on her beak.
"Aw, hopefully it's not everyone in town." Foxy sighed.
"I don't think so, but just watch out. By the way I'm Chica." The chicken held out a hand.
"Nice to meet you Chica, you already know I'm Foxy." He said shaking her hand.
"Well, mabye I'll see you around." Chica said winking before walking away.
Foxy was red in the face and bit his bottom lip once he got a look at her yellow feathery ass.
"Swiggity Swooty, I'm coming for that booty!" Foxy whispered to himself.
Just then, the light for them to cross turned green and they left. After BB tried to give more descriptions of his house, they eventually found it and his parents were outside waiting. They were just about to call the police when Foxy and BB arrived.
"HONEY YOU'RE OKAY!" His mother ran over and hugged him.
"Son are you okay?' His father asked.
"I'm fine, Foxy helped me." BB pointed to the fox.
These parents luckily hadn't heard about Foxy's biting incident and they thanked him.
"Thank you so much Foxy, sorry if he was any trouble." The father shook Foxy's hand.
"Aye, he was no trouble at all. Just glad to get him back safe and sound." Foxy nodded.
"Hope to see you again one day Foxy! We'll always be friends!" BB said as he went inside.
Foxy nodded and decided to leave, unable to stop the large grin growing on his face. He left not noticing someone watching him from nearbye, the sounds of knuckles cracking could be heard from him. Foxy took a run out at the dirt road just outside of town, there were no cars so that allowed him to practice. Mangle always told him he could give Sonic the Hedgehog a challenge.
"I'm really starting to like this town, it's pretty peaceful. Don't know what Nette was so worried about, besides I can handle myself." Foxy scoffed as he finally decided to take a break.
"Hah, I'm not so sure about that." Came a deep voice.
Foxy looked to his left as a large hill where the purple bunny from before was standing there looking down on him smirking. But the smirk quickly changed to a frown as he slid down the hill and next to Foxy who stood his ground. Foxy examined this bunny all over, he looked like Bon Bon on steroids. He was a bit taller than Foxy and more muscular. His fur was a bit messy and he had thick black lines around his eyes giving a more scary appearance. He wore a black tank top with a skull and crossbones on it and spiked bracelets on his wrists. Foxy felt a bit nervous.
"Well, Foxy the pirate fox, or should I say fugitive." The bunny said.
"And ye are?' Foxy asked trying not to sound nervous.
"The name's Bonnie, and I've seen you walking around my turf, not smart fox!" Bonnie growled.
"Look Bonnie, I didn't know alright? I'm new here, besides I was only trying to take a kid home. I don't want any trouble." Foxy explained.
"I thought you were supposed to be brave."
"Oh I am, but also I'm pretty fast." Foxy said starting to walk.
Foxy then noticed Bonnie keeping up with his pace. He also noticed Bonnie's evil grin appearing.
"I heard so much about you, never thought I'd meet you in person. I always thought everything they said you did was a rumor." Bonnie said.
"Nope, tis' be all true. Right up to the bite, but it was accidental. Luckily I was able to get out of police custody, no one can outrun me." Foxy scoffed.
He picked up his pace and Bonnie copied him and now they were jogging close to the city.
"I see, well then...since you're new here but don't know much about me, what you need to know is that I like to test people's skills and put them into their place, and that's what I'M GOING TO DO TO YOU!" Bonnie snarled.
"Shit." Foxy grumbled.
Foxy and Bonnie took off racing off towards town, both trying to past the other...and fight. Bonnie try to ram into Foxy who jumped over him and kicked Bonnie in the head. Bonnie growled and picked up speed trying to punch Foxy but instead he missed. Foxy swiped his claws at Bonnie but also missed. As they entered through the city, they were forced to dodge traffic while they ran through the streets.
Seeing an entrance to the subway, Foxy went through there and Bonnie followed him. The subway was closed down after a deadly crash and now there was nothing but broken support beams and pieces of the subway were left scattered around...but Foxy didn't notice this. Bonnie hopped around the debris and walls and landed a punch to Foxy's face.
"OUCH! WHY YOU-" Foxy bared his fangs.
Foxy sped up shaking off the hit and got in a punch to Bonnie's face.
"AUGH! Lucky shot!" Bonnie said.
The two rammed into each other trying to push the other away.
"You're tougher than I thought, BUT NOT AS TOUGH AS ME!" Bonnie yelled.
He swung a wicked haymaker and hit Foxy right the chest knocking the wind out of him and he clutched his stomach.
"Aw did that hurt? Mabye you could've seen that hit coming better without that stupid eye-patch." Bonnie teased.
He went to take it off, but there was one thing you never did...and that was touch Foxy's eye patch. Bonnie is suddenly sucker-punched back and sees Foxy's eye go black and a small white dot appears like Bon Bon had for a moment.
"The fuck?" Bonnie said backing away.
"Nobody...TOUCHES MY EYE-PATCH!" Foxy yelled.
Bonnie was surprised by his sudden demonic voice, and he ran off. But Foxy wasn't having it, he charges Bonnie, throwing debris at him to slow him down. Bonnie was hit with several items injuring his back.
"What the hell is-HUH?" Bonnie gasped.
He looked back to see Foxy charging him like a raging bull. Then Foxy rammed his head straight into Bonnie's back launching him into the air and back on the ground with a thud. Foxy stopped and turned around ready to beat him up. Bonnie painfully got up on one knee and looked up at Foxy angrily.
"This isn't over Foxy, I'll get you for this." Bonnie vowed.
"I'll be waiting matey." Foxy said as his eye went back to normal.
Bonnie finally got up and the two got in each other's faces starting an intense stare-down.
"You made a rival tonight Foxy." Bonnie shook a fist in his face.
"Get walking bunny." Foxy demanded.
Bonnie growled and shook his head before leaving up some nearbye stairs. As Bonnie left, his mind flashed back to when he saw the bright blue bunny.
"Mabye I should've asked for her name...nah...like he would know, that was probably just some other bunny...or was it? Bah, even if it was her, I could never let her see me like this." Bonnie shook his head and headed into the night.
Foxy eventually walked out clutching his chest, that anger only relieved him of the pain for that moment. On his way back home, he spotted what looked like a bear smoking a pipe near Foxy's house. The bear was brown and wore a black top-hat and a red bow-tie. He had some messy fur, spiked bracelets on his wrists and a long cut on his stomach that was stitched up.
"Hello Foxy, I see you've met my gang." The bear spoke.
"Gang, you mean they work with you? Who are you?" Foxy asked walking towards him.
"I'm Freddy, Freddy Fazbear." He introduced himself extending his hand.
Foxy's shook it seeing that this guy looked nice...on the outside.
"Well sir, tell Bonnie not to mess with me." Foxy sneered.
"Oh I'll have a chat with him. Come, I want to discuss something with you, something only a fellow criminal would want to talk about." Freddy said.
Foxy and Freddy walked down the street towards the fox's house.
"So Foxy, I heard about everything you did. I must say I'm rather impressed with your skills and criminal antics." Freddy said.
"Well thanks, I just found it fun. Though now, I've decided to change. After I killed that man, I felt so bad...that wasn't me...that's not what I am...a murderer."
"Are you sure?"
Foxy looked at Freddy like he was insane...mabye he was.
"You know, you'd make a perfect addition to my gang. We could use a fourth member." Freddy offered.
"But...I've heard some stuff about yer gang...and met them in person tonight. I don't know Freddy, trouble is what I was trying to get away from. Why should I go back?"
"Oh most of the stuff we did are in the past. We've loosened up a bit, stop the murders. Bonnie is always fighting, Chica is always vandalizing, and me...he-he, I usually just supervise and often work on getting us new weaponry, you can never have too much weaponry...you and your sister should know that by now."
"And what value would I hold in your gang?" Foxy asked.
"Well your speed and ability to steal of course. Don't think I didn't see a bit of your little battle race with Bonnie." Freddy smirked.
Foxy had to chuckle at that. Freddy could tell Foxy was uncertain about this.
"Look Foxy just think about it alright...and who knows...you may be able to help us out with a little problem." Freddy said.
Foxy then noticed a flash of nervousness on Freddy's face.
"You alright?"
"I'm fine, but, think about it okay?" Freddy said, trying to hide his nervousness.
"Sure matey." Foxy nodded.
"See ya later Foxy, nice chatting with ya." Freddy said returning to his normal calm attitude.
"You too!"
Foxy went inside his house to see Mangle and Bon Bon laughing about something in the living room.
"Where the hell have you been?" Mangle asked.
"Seeing the sights, did some...interesting things." Foxy shrugged.
"Did you have fun?" Bon Bon asked.
"Yeah, but boy am I tired." Foxy faked a yawn.
He quickly went upstairs and the girls thought that was strange.
"He looked upset." Bon Bon said.
"Come on, let's go see what's up." Mangle sighed.
Foxy walked into his room and was about to shut his door when Mangle and Bon Bon forced it open knocking Foxy on the bed.
"OW! Why did you do that?" Foxy groaned.
"What's wrong with you?" Mangle asked.
"Nothing." He lied.
The girls looked at each other, grinned, then advanced on Foxy who whimpered. The two had ways of making him talk. They grabbed 2 out of the four pillows he had and started to beat him with them.
"OW! STOP IT!" Foxy yelled getting hit in the face several times.
"You gonna tell us?" Bon Bon asked.
"FINE! I'M JUST UPSET!" Foxy gave in.
"Why?" Mangle asked.
"I met these gang members named Freddy, Chica and Bonnie. In fact, Freddy asked me to join their gang, I didn't give him answer yet...because I'm worried. I came here to better myself, if I join a gang...that would make me worse. I mean, the gang isn't all that bad, they normally do the stuff I usually do...minus murder now. Besides...not only did I get to meet a girl, Freddy looked nervous when I didn't give him an answer...like he was afraid of me...or he really needed me." Foxy explained.
Foxy expected to get sucker-punched by Mangle, but instead she smiled.
"I knew you couldn't stay out of trouble for so long. Look Foxy, we're here not just to lay low and attempt to start over, but to gain friends. Besides, you never been in a gang before, you may fit in. Besides, you should've known other criminals would come looking for you with your reputation."
"True...look mabye I'll talk to him more tomorrow...I just want to get some rest...but first..."
Foxy grabs a pillow and smacks Mangle in the snout.
"OW! THE HELL?" Mangle growled.
"Payback, unless you want to try me again." Foxy clutched his pillow.
Mangle and Bon Bon exchanged mischievous grins.
"Alright then...PILLOW FIGHT!"
The three quickly get into a massive pillow brawl.
11:00 PM...Freddy's house...
Meanwhile over at Freddy's house, he was walking down a hallway when he looked in Bonnie's room to see him looking at a picture of him and Bon Bon.
"You okay Bonnie?" Freddy asked.
"No...I just miss my sister." Bonnie sighed.
"I bet she misses you."
"NO! SHE WOULDN'T!"
Bonnie suddenly slammed a fist into the wall startling Chica from her room.
"DAMN IT BONNIE I'M TRYING TO FUCKING SLEEP!"
Bonnie rolled his eyes and decided to change the subject seeing Freddy's nervous face.
"He's out isn't he?" Bonnie asked.
"Yeah...he's coming...mabye...I don't know." Freddy sighed.
"Eh, he's probably done torturing you."
"I doubt it."
Freddy looked down at the scar on his stomach. They didn't know when...but soon they were going to have a problem...a golden problem...
To be continued...
Uh-oh...trouble will be coming. But probably not for a few more chapters. I've noticed these chapters getting longer...I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing. I just like cramming a bunch of stuff into one chapter. Anyways, stay tuned for the next chapter!
