This chapter will include two new OCs of mine. An anthropomorphic cat named Frank and an anthropomorphic panther named Thunder. Their descriptions will be during the story and they may only serve minor roles since this is the second-to-last chapter.
Chapter 9: Letters Of Fate
12:00 AM...Freddy's house...
With the whole Golden problem behind them, the gang had decided to celebrate, the only problem was...what exactly was there to do? It wouldn't be a good idea to go back outside tonight. Chica had went ahead and made more pizza, much to the delight of the others. But this time Chica made sure to give the boys equal slices. Nette had to get home but took some pizza with him. The boys were sitting on the couch again while the girls sat on the floor with blankets.
"Hmm, planning something fun is hard to do. Mabye because we just got done brawling with an insane person all over the place." Bonnie said.
"Yeah, I kept getting worried where those portals would take us." Foxy said.
"Speaking of portals, I wish it didn't send us back where me and Bon Bon's house was. Just seeing it in it's state gave me chills. Foxy, thank you for saving Bon Bon, I don't know what I'd do if she died." Bonnie playfully headlocked him.
"Anything to save people. I wasn't going to let her burn, I wanted to save your parents, but by the time I got there it was too late. The whole room was completely destroyed." Foxy sighed.
"It's okay, you did what you could." Bonnie smiled.
"Don't need to beat yourself up over it. I've been okay for 4 years." Bon Bon added.
"Aye, I'm glad everything is as it should be...fer now." Foxy worried.
The others looked a little nervous when he said that. Mabye there was more to come, and Golden was only part of it. But Mangle decided to change the subject to a form of smacking Foxy with a pillow to the face.
"OW! WHAT THE HELL?" Foxy rubbed his head.
"PILLOW FIGHT!" Bon Bon yelled slapping Bonnie with one.
"Oh it's on now!" Bonnie growled.
Immediately everyone joined in on the pillow fight which got rather brutal quickly. Freddy and Chica raced upstairs to grab more pillows and slammed them onto people's heads. Eventually, the last two standing were Bonnie and Mangle.
"So it's come to this." Mangle sneered.
"You're going down fox." Bonnie said.
"Bring it big-ears!"
Bonnie charged Mangle and swung his pillow, but Mangle jumped up high making him miss. But Bonnie couldn't dodge Mangle's attack when she shoved Bonnie into a wall and forcefully smashed the pillow on his head hard enough for his ears to pop right through. Bonnie fell down defeated.
"Nice try Bonnie, but I still reign supreme." Mangle smiled straightening her gloves.
1:00 AM...Foxy, Mangle and Bon Bon's house...
Mangle noticed Foxy looking a bit disturbed when the three returned home. He sat on his bed staring a picture of him and Mangle when they were kids. Mangle walked in.
"You alright?" Mangle asked.
"Yeah...just been doing some thinking." Foxy sighed.
"What kind of thinking? You barely said a word on the way back here, even Bon Bon was concerned."
"Well, I don't know why...but I feel that something is coming. Forget Golden, I just know something will go wrong."
Mangle could see a tear forming at Foxy's eye, the large frown on his face, his ears dropping.
"Like what? Foxy you have to talk to me please." Mangle rubbed his back.
"I don't know sis...I don't know. But I'm worried about losing you...my friends...no...our family. I don't want to lose them...but especially you!" Foxy cried.
He grabbed Mangle into a tight hug and started crying. Mangle hugged back and rocked him back and forth. Foxy kept repeating "I don't want to lose you" about 6 times before Mangle stopped him.
"Foxy, you're not going to lose me. You never will..." Mangle rubbed his head.
Mangle let Foxy cry for a few more minutes before he stopped himself but still sniffed a bit. He saw that Mangle had a very concerned look on her face.
"I'll be okay. Just so much on my mind, I just need to get some rest." Foxy said.
"Alright brother, I'll see ya in the morning." Mangle smiled.
Foxy nodded and got under his covers to sleep. His mind traveled back to when he was 5 years old.
Many years ago...
He and Mangle were running down a sidewalk downtown laughing about something. At the time, Foxy didn't have an eye-patch or hook, so he was going out to get something to cover his eye-hole and stub.
"Are you sure you want to spend your money on this stuff? Nobody has a problem with how you look." Mangle shrugged.
"I know, but I'm a pirate Mangle, and to be one, I have to look like one. Though I may not have enough for a hat." Foxy said.
Just then, Foxy and Mangle were confronted by a young panther who was a bit taller than Foxy and Mangle. His name was Thunder. He wore red shorts and sported a few cuts on his body. He had on occasion bullied Foxy when Mangle wasn't around and teased him about missing an eye and a hand. He rarely harmed Foxy physically, but had punched or pushed him a few times.
"Hello Foxy, going somewhere important?" Thunder said.
"Ugh, what do ye want Thunder?" Foxy sighed.
"Oh just felt like looking at the hole in your face so I can have something to laugh about!" Thunder pointed out laughing.
"Leave him alone!" Mangle growled.
"It never gets old with you Foxy. You think you'll look intimidating seeing parts of you missing? Please, not even the most dangerous gang around would accept you if you tried." Thunder teased some more.
Foxy whimpered feeling very hurt, Mangle dragged Foxy past Thunder.
"Let's go, we don't need to be bothered with him." Mangle grumbled.
Thunder walked away still laughing. Foxy was happy again when they entered the party store. Inside he scrambled around looking for a good eye-patch and pirate hook. When he did, he thought about ways to make this hook sharper. There were a few tools that could help him out back home. He made his purchases and they went home. Mangle watched as Foxy put on his eye-patch and sharpened his hook. When he was finished she turned to Mangle.
"Well, how do I look?" Foxy asked.
"Not bad Foxy, if this is what you wanted." Mangle said.
"Yep, this is who I really am. FOXY, THE PIRATE FOX!" Foxy said proudly.
Present...
Foxy smiled at the memory before falling asleep. Foxy always though it was strange how after that day, he only saw Thunder a few more times afterwards before he mysteriously vanished. But he honestly didn't care...for now.
8:00 AM...Same location...
The next morning Foxy woke up yawning. He listened for Mangle or Bon Bon to be up but they weren't. Deciding to get some breakfast, he went down the stairs and saw the mailman just leaving his house. It was the same person Nette told Foxy he scared, Jeremy Fitzgerald.
"Ahoy Jeremy, how's work been!" Foxy came outside to the mailbox.
"Pretty good so far Foxy, I heard what happened on the highway. Nice job!"
"Thanks. I feel sorry for the people who were killed, I guess it in the newspaper as well." Foxy said.
"Yeah, 30 casualties. That Gold bear however is not where he belongs." Jeremy said.
"What do you mean?" Foxy asked confused.
"I mean, he deserves to die. Especially after all that."
"Ye may be right."
"Well I got to go, see ya around."
"Bye."
Foxy checked his mailbox to find 2 letters. The first one was from the police department in his original town, the second was from the maximum security prison that Golden was held.
"What the hell?" Foxy looked between the two envelopes.
Foxy knew something strange would happen, it was starting to happen so quickly. He decided to open the police letter first thinking the police had changed their mind.
The letter read:
Dear Foxy,
After last night's events, we allowed you to go free. However, if you want this to be permanent, we are demanding you to do something for us. If you do not accept our demands, we will have you arrested for the murder...and mabye the others as well for their crimes. Down below are the addresses for two criminals we want you to track down. They are also fugitives who are wanted for crimes. One is to be captured...the other killed. The one that must be killed would've been placed on death row if we were able to capture him. Whatever you do will effect you greatly. Contact us when its done. Do the right thing...
Signed, Chief of police.
Foxy was shocked when he read the names: Thunder and Frank. Thunder was the panther that used to bully him as a kid, he was to be killed. The other one was Frank, a cat who he was good friends with, but hadn't seen for awhile, he was to be captured.
"No...but why? I can't just..." Foxy was horrified.
He started to sweat uncontrollably and he sat down on the porch. How many times did he have to tell people he wasn't a murderer? He couldn't just kill someone on demand. That's when he looked over at the other letter and opened it. There was notebook paper inside and had some writing in it. Foxy's eye grew huge when he saw who it was written by...Golden.
"No...it can't be." Foxy dropped the letter and gripped his head.
He didn't want to read it, nor did he want to know how it got here so fast. He hesitantly picked up the paper and read it.
It read:
Dear Foxy,
I must say you gave me a good fight last night. I'll be honest, I'm actually impressed. But like I said, this isn't over. And so, I'm writing to you to let you know that I want to fight you again. And if you don't find me or refuse within a week I'll send some men to find you and bring you to me so I can beat you. Freddy brainwashed you, he's no father figure to you. He's nothing but a joke, he's only pretending to like you because he wanted to get rid of me. He'll kill you if there's a chance of him and his gang getting arrested. But that's where you can stop it, you've been living with a so-called "Dangerous gang" for awhile now. You have the chance to take them all out. Also, you should get rid of your sister and that puppet, they're just holding you back from showing your great power. You know I'm right. SO DO IT! KILL THEM! KILL THEM ALL! OR YOU'LL BE KILLED! IN FACT, DO THAT FIRST THEN WE WILL FIGHT! DO THE RIGHT THING...
Signed, Golden Fazbear
P.S. Tell Bonnie and his sister that I set the house on fire.
Foxy nearly screamed after reading that, his heart skipping a beat. Kill his friends? HIS FAMILY? NO! PLUS GOLDEN CAUSED THE FIRE? And who were these men he spoke of, mabye he was only trying to scare him. Foxy shook his head and decided to go to Nette's house. When he showed the letters to Nette, even he was a bit worried.
"I'm not sure how to solve this Foxy. We don't know if Golden has any connections. Luckily I'm good with computers and mabye I could see if these two really have any criminal records." Nette went to his computer.
"I know Frank could never commit a serious crime, sure he does a lot stuff on the computer, but he's not a bad guy." Foxy shook his head.
Nette's claws scratched the keyboard a bit before he turned to Foxy.
"Say Foxy...you wouldn't...kill me would you?" Nette asked, nervousness shaping his eyeholes.
Foxy gasped at Nette's question, what kind of question was that?
"No Nette, never! You've always been by my side like my sister. I promise!" Foxy placed a hand on his chest.
Nette only nodded and started to type again, a bit of tension rising.
"Well Frank is clean, someone must be framing him. But Thunder is actually wanted for something. He's in hiding. Luckily if I attach my portal gun to the computer and look up his possible whereabouts, we may be able to find him. Do these two know each other?"
"Thunder used to beat up Frank a lot. Such an asshole."
"Ah, then mabye we should speak with Frank."
But then Nette turned to Foxy again.
"Foxy...this is all up to you. You can be a hero and work with the police...or you can become a traitor and kill your friends. But I'm warning you, if you try to kill me it's gonna be on. You worked so hard to get where you're at, you have good friends, you have a girlfriend, people are recognizing you as a pirate. Whatever Golden has planned behind those bars, we can stop it, we proved ourselves last night. We can do it again." Nette said.
Nette stood up to full height, being the same height as Foxy. Foxy could tell Nette wasn't really giving him a choice. But Nette was right, he couldn't kill off people he loved...but he also couldn't kill off people that were innocent.
"Nette...not all pirate's are good...but I'm different. Foxy the pirate fox may be a criminal, but I know when the right thing needs to be done. Time to be a hero, than a criminal." Foxy said.
Nette smiled...this was going to be fun.
9:00 AM...Freddy's house...
Foxy and Nette called a mandatory meeting in the living room with Mangle and Bon Bon joining them.
"What's this all about Foxy?" Freddy asked.
Foxy let out a heavy sigh as everyone stared at him.
"This morning I received two letters. The first one I read was from the police department saying that they are hiring me to capture two guys. One of them is my friend while the other is a childhood bully." Foxy explained.
"Wait you mean Thunder?" Mangle spoke up.
"Exactly. Thunder is wanted for a few crimes and they want me to kill him since he's to be on death row anyway. However, my friend Frank is being wrongly accused, yet he is to be captured. And we're gonna change that, I think I know who is doing this. Which leads me to the second letter, it's from...Golden.
"GOLDEN?" Freddy stood up roaring.
"THE FUCK DOES HE WANT NOW!" Bonnie growled.
"DID HE ESCAPE AGAIN!" Chica yelled.
"NO! NO! He didn't escape, but he wrote to me saying that he wants to fight me again but before I do that he said he wants me to kill all of you." Foxy sighed.
As soon as Foxy said that, the others had to register that last part. Their eyes grew wide.
"KILL US? FOR HIM?" Chica yelled.
"FUCK THAT! FOXY WOULDN'T DO THAT" Mangle yelled.
"NO FOXY!" Bon Bon yelled.
"YOU WOULDN'T FUCKING DARE!" Bonnie cracked his knuckles.
"GUYS ENOUGH! It's obvious Golden is trying to trick Foxy. Making him believe in lies...we need to end this for good." Freddy said.
"Exactly, that's why I'm asking for all of you to help. We need to find these two and solve this problem, then we can deal with Golden. You are my family, and I would never want to kill any one of you. I love you all too much to submit to his tricks." Foxy said.
"But even worse...Bonnie, Bon Bon, well...Golden was responsible for the house fire...I'm sorry." Nette said.
The bunnies were stunned by this, neither one moving for a few seconds.
"Our mom and dad are dead...BECAUSE OF HIM!" Bon Bon cried.
"NO! NNNNNOOOOOOOOOOO!" Bonnie jumped and yelled.
He was so angry he rammed a fist straight through a wall, so much rage filled his heart and mind. His eyes darkening with white little dots in the middle. Bon Bon was comforted by Mangle.
"I'M SORRY YOU TWO! I WISHED I COULD'VE SAVED THEM!" Foxy cried as well.
The others had their anger lowered immediately after seeing that Foxy had started to cry again. Bonnie was the first to rush up to Foxy and give him a hug, much to the surprise of the others.
"We're gonna end this once and for all Foxy, we promise." Bonnie whispered, eyes still black.
"We got your back Foxy." Freddy nodded.
"No matter what!" Chica said.
"Let's go set things straight!" Mangle said.
"FOR FAMILY!" Bon Bon yelled.
"FOR FAMILY!" They all cheered.
"Hey Nette, it's gonna be awhile before you can listen to your music." Foxy said.
Nette chuckled.
"Oh please, I've heard each song as least 999,999 times. I believe I can skip a day." Nette smirked.
And so everyone except Bon Bon and Nette loaded up a bag of guns just in case. This was Foxy's time to show Freddy, Bonnie and Chica how a criminal could do good. Their first stop was Frank's house back in Foxy's old neighborhood. Nette fired up a portal and they all walked through.
9:45 AM...Foxy's old neighborhood...
They arrived down the street from Frank's house. Foxy, Mangle and Bon Bon observed their surroundings.
"Huh, not a lot has changed." Foxy said.
"True, it hasn't been long." Mangle said.
"Let's get going." Bon Bon walked past them.
As the group walked, others backed away or gasped.
"Is that Foxy and Mangle?"
"Shouldn't they be in jail?
"Who are those other brutes?"
They eventually found Frank's house, it was pretty big. Foxy had known Frank for years but the cat did not always come outside, he was about as lazy as Garfield. He was also pretty nervous about a lot of stuff, but still a loyal friend and has helped Foxy many times. Foxy knocked on his door and Frank looked through his curtains, he recognized most of them actually. He finally opened the door showing his usual nervous face.
"Oh uh hello Foxy and Mangle." Frank said.
Frank lets them in and they all gather in the living room. The house was large on the inside and full of expensive stuff. But Foxy didn't see anything that would lead him to believe Frank didn't really do anything. Frank fumbled around with the remote to his big TV trying to turn it off, he was sweating already. Then he looked at the others and knew who they were.
"THE FAZBEAR GANG? I'VE HEARD ABOUT THEM! WHY ARE THEY HERE!" Frank freaked out jumping back.
"Whoa whoa Frank calm down. They're helping me out with figuring something out. And their my extended family now." Foxy said.
"Oh. Well that's good." Frank calmed down adjusting on his couch.
Frank was a bit shorter than Foxy, he was light blue and some dark blue stripes on his back. He wore a red bowtie and dark blue torn-up shorts like Foxy's.
"So, I got a letter saying that ye are wanted by the police for some crimes. Tell me matey that isn't true." Foxy said.
Now Frank was a little angry, his tail stuck up straight.
"What? Me? I never did any crime! I stay away from that crap...unlike you." Frank crossed his arms.
"What connection do you have with my brother Golden?" Freddy asked.
"WHAT? GOLDEN IS YOUR BROTHER? He never brought you up in anything. I've talked to him about helping me out with some stuff, but apparently now he's trying to frame me. I saw you guys on the news, that guy is nothing but pure evil." Frank said shaking his head.
"You better be telling the truth!" Mangle growled.
"I swear to you I am! I don't know what I did for him to start framing me. I wouldn't last in jail, and you know this Foxy!" Frank said.
"Okay then...but look we're also looking for Thunder, where did he go?" Nette asked.
"Oh man Thunder? He's been moving around a lot...heard he did go to jail for a year for assault but he's been around here a bit. In fact we actually became friends and he would tell me some stuff he's done." Frank explained.
"Do you know where he could be now?" Foxy asked.
"Yeah, he told me yesterday that he would be working around the warehouses on the outskirts of town making a few deals. I'm surprised he's risking the chance of getting caught. Why are you searching for him? Is he wanted too?" Frank asked nervously tapping his claws together.
"Yeah...shame huh?" Foxy said.
"Well thanks for the info, we'll tell you how it goes!" Mangle said.
As they turn to leave, Frank grabs Foxy in a panic.
"NO! Take me with you! Just in case they find out where I live!" Frank yelled clinging onto his back.
"Alright fine." Foxy chuckled.
The group eventually arrived at the warehouses but didn't see Thunder anywhere. That is until Foxy heard some rustling inside one of them. They all turned to see a door opening up from the warehouse next to them and out comes Thunder. He looked a bit more muscular and still a bit taller than Foxy. He still wore red shorts and sports-tape on his arms. He turned to see the group and stared down Foxy. Frank hid behind Bon Bon.
"FOXY? YOU'RE BACK?" Thunder was surprised.
"Not permanently, just me my family here taking care of some business." Foxy gestured to everyone.
Thunder stepped up to Foxy, then glared at everyone else.
"So what I heard about what they said on the news was true. You joined the Fazbear gang?" Thunder asked.
"Yeah what about them?" Mangle cut in.
"You got some nerve coming to find me. What? Are you working for someone?" Thunder growled.
"Well, the cops want me to kill you." Foxy growled back.
Thunder went wide-eyed and stepped back. He angrily flexed his claws.
"YOU'RE GONNA KILL ME? ME? YOU WON'T GET A CHANCE!" Thunder roared.
Thunder went to swing at Foxy, but was shoved away by Bonnie.
"BACK OFF PANTHER!" Bonnie said.
Thunder felt a little nervous when Bonnie, Freddy and Chica stepped up to him.
"So you like bullying my man do ya?" Chica said.
"Not a wise decision." Freddy said.
"You mess with him, you mess with us." Bonnie said.
"Uh...my bad?" Thunder gulped.
Foxy, Mangle, Bon Bon and Nette winced when the three pummeled Thunder. When they were satisfied, Foxy walked over to the battered panther on the ground and sucker-punched him before grabbing his chest. Thunder had a black eye, busted lip, broken nose, missing tooth and bruises everywhere.
"Listen up mother-fucker, ye better tell us everything we want to know or YE BE WALKING THE PLANK!" Foxy snarled.
Foxy placed his hook on Thunder's neck.
"Alright, what do you want to know?"
"Do ye have any connections with Golden?"
"Oh that bear? Yeah, we made a deal if I gave him a few guns years ago. Then he had the nerve to start framing me for doing crimes! I did my time already for assault so why would I try to go back?"
"Well look, I won't kill ye...as long as ye come with me to do something."
"W-W-What's that?"
Foxy pulled him up on his feet and bared his fangs.
"I'm gonna kill Golden Fazbear."
To be continued...
I hope you guys are ready...the final chapter is coming up next! Will Foxy be able to actually kill again, this time on purpose? Or will he fail himself and the others as the memory of the first bite still haunts him? Also Foxy and Chica are planning something special that will change the Fazbear gang forever! Stay tuned if you dare!
