-You Can't-

Chapter 15: Out of Order

Toy Chica looked at Toy Bonnie when the animatronic entered the Party Room 3, seemingly surprised to see him here. She was enjoying her gift in the corner of the room, glancing at everything from where she was. Toy Bonnie had his guitar with him, humming one of his favorite songs. He didn't notice her, walking towards the tables and sitting on the one on the left, starting to play the song. Toy Chica just hid in the corner, listening to the music.

The bunny played for some minutes before standing up, noticing her and being quite surprised to find her hiding. "Oh, hey Toy Chica."

"He-Hey." She replied, waving her hand nervously. "I... I-I didn't see you coming... I-I was leaving, in fact..."

"I would like you to stay a little longer..." The blue animatronic said, looking at her with a very friendly expression on his face.

The chicken didn't reply, trying to focus on something else. She felt ashamed. The bunny certainly noticed that she was avoiding him since she was with Goldie. Actually, she was trying everything to avoid him. That was better for him.

The girl had noticed that Toy Bonnie's heart was broken since she was in love with Fredbear. The blue bunny was loving her since a long while, but he didn't want to tell her because of Toy Freddy. Toy Freddy would have felt excluded if they were always together somewhere else. They were a band, after all. They couldn't let a member beside without caring about his life.

Toy Bonnie had kept his secret love for him, not wanting to hurt Toy Freddy's feelings. And now... She was in love with another animatronic. Springtrap and Marionette told him that he should forget about Toy Chi but he just couldn't. His heart belonged to her, even if she didn't want it.

Since that time, Toy Chica was trying to avoid her friend. She didn't want to speak about that stuff with him. That was really the last thing she wanted.

"I haven't talked to you in such a long time..." Toy Bonnie continued, inviting her to sit on the table next to him.

Toy Chica gulped and sat on the table, trying to avoid Toy Bonnie's glance nevertheless. "I was... preoccupied."

"Do you have time for me now ?"

She was about to answer when Foxy entered the room, remaining silent and Toy Bonnie doing the same. Foxy glanced at them without understand, raising an eyebrow before asking: "What yer be lookin' at, lads ?"

Toy Bonnie tilted his head to the left, showing Toy Chica behind him. Foxy understood and was going to leave the room, but Toy Chica holded him back. The red fox looked at her in a lost way before she explained nervously: "I-I was leaving, you can stay..."

With that, she left the room, even forgetting her cupcake next to Toy Bonnie. The bunny looked at it, his eyes filled with sorrow, while Foxy came closer to him, putting his hand on his friend's shoulder to comfort him. Toy Bonnie just gave him the cupcake before leaving the room too, meeting Mangle on the way to the Game Area and barely saluting her.

The white fox looked at him and lowered her ears, noticing her friend's sadness and wanting to know what was going on. She stared at him as he was leaving the hall, intending to follow him. A hand grabbed her endoskeleton, holding her back. "Don't."

Mangle turned around and smiled hugely when she saw Toy Freddy. This one smiled back and carried her to her corner of the Game Area, putting her down and kissing her forehead lovingly. "He needs to be alone, alright ?"

The fox just nodded and kissed her boyfriend, this one stroking her head before joining Marionette and Freddy near the Music Box. They were there since Vincent's attack, probably trying to fix Springtrap. The animatronic was totally broken, his systems were failing and he couldn't even speak anymore.

Freddy smiled to Toy Freddy and showed him the broken-down robot. Springtrap was trying, with Mario's help, to open his jaw but this one wasn't working. One of his eyes didn't open anymore, and his ear wasn't moving at all, paralyzed.

Toy Freddy knelt before the animatronic, holding his hand and asking him to grip his hand. Springtrap barely moved his fingers before being paralyzed again, convulsing and suddenly shutting down.

Marionette sighed sadly, stroking Springtrap's cheek, some tears visible in her eyes. "What are we going to do ? We tried everything and nothing works."

Freddy nodded, confirming Mario's words. Toy Freddy stood up, coming closer to Springtrap's neck and sat down, looking at it very closely. It seemed that everything was okay. The wires had been replaced, they were perfectly connected, and the endoskeleton wasn't even damaged. There was nothing wrong with the mechanics, what was wrong was Springtrap's AI. It wasn't working well, maybe because of the sudden shock.

Determined to understand what had exactly been done, Toy Freddy looked at Marionette and Freddy before demanding: "What did you do exactly ?"

"We replaced the wires, Freddy connected them, and now we're trying to make it function." Marionette explained, shutting on the animatronic bunny.

This one opened once again one of his eyes, but this time, it was the opposite. The left eye, that was working before, barely opened while the other, which wasn't working at all, opened entirely. But his eye himself wasn't working right. When it was supposed to be lightened, it was dark and the eyelid was slowly closing and opening.

Toy Freddy wondered a lot about what was going on, hearing Springtrap moaning really hardly: "Help... Me..." before convulsing again. Mario knelt before him and hugged him, trembling in fear. She was so worried about him. Never any animatronic had seen Marionette like that.

"Maybe we should take a look at his servomecanism." Toy Freddy proposed, Freddy looking at him before nodding.

"That could be the source of the glitches."

Marionette thought about it before nodding. She stroke Springtrap's cheek, kissing him lovingly while shutting him down. She pushed him away, looking at Freddy and his toy counterpart. "Do whatever you want, Toy Freddy. Just... Don't hurt him."

The toy animatronic nodded, starting to remove Springtrap's head to look at the endoskeleton and its systems. It was really messed up, and the bear noticed that some points weren't responding correctly. Springtrap's fingers weren't responding, even if he tried to make them move. There were also some parts that weren't receiving the data correctly. He needed to rebuild the entire animatronic.

But they hadn't what was required to do such a thing. And it would be too expensive to buy parts for him.

They weren't able to help him.

He put back the animatronic's head over the endoskeleton, gulping sadly. He felt guilty. He couldn't help an animatronic which required his help. He felt so bad... Since all these years, he tried his best to help everyone... And this time, exactly the same case as Mangle, he couldn't do anything... But Mangle was working, anyway... Springtrap wasn't and was never going to.

Marionette raised an eyebrow when she saw him putting back Spring's head. "Is it already done ?"

"Marionette... We can't do anything..." Toy Freddy deplored, lowering his head and shutting on Springtrap.

The animatronic just opened his eyes, the two this time, but couldn't move his head. He tried to do it nevertheless, but his system refused and shut down instantly. Marionette's eyes filled with tears as she walked towards him, shutting him on again and waiting for him to wake up.

"What are we going to do with him... ? He can't just remain like this..." She asked, looking up at Freddy and his toy version.

Freddy thought about that for some time before answering: "I think that I can do something."

Toy Freddy raised an eyebrow, curious, and followed Freddy when he went to the Parts & Service room. There were a lot of shelves with animatronic parts, and the toy animatronic's eyes widened. He was impressed. He didn't know that all this stuff was there. "Where did you get this ?"

"It comes from the old location." Freddy replied, smiling to him and taking some parts. "What do we need ?"

Toy Freddy looked at him and explained calmly: "Take all the parts. We need to build a new endoskeleton."

"A whole endoskeleton ?"

The toy just nodded, helping his counterpart to bring the parts to the Game Area. Marionette looked at them and smiled, Mangle wondering what was going on and coming to them. "Hey, guys, whatcha doing ?"

Toy Freddy smiled to her and invited her to see by herself. She came with them, looking at the animatronics when they started to build a new endoskeleton for Springtrap. Very curious, she looked over Freddy's shoulder and smiled hugely. The new endoskeleton was going to be amazing. It... seemed designed for a toy animatronic, that was why she frowned. Was Spring going to be redesigned ?

Toy Freddy saw her worried expression and put a hand on her shoulder. "Don't worry. We just do that for now, but we'll remove what only fits for toy animatronics later."

"Oh okay." Mangle agreeded, looking at Freddy as he was already putting some pieces together and seeing if they worked well. They soon finished it, and they assembled it, verifying that everything was working. It seemed perfectly functioning. Marionette and Toy Freddy put it inside the Springtrap suit, the Puppet grabbing the memory box of the old endoskeleton and putting it on the new one.

When Springtrap's eyes opened, the four animatronics shared a sigh of relief. Marionette knelt before the other animatronic, asking him if he was alright and if he remembered something. Mangle was not listening to them. She'd just heard something moving. Footsteps. She didn't know where they came from, but she clearly heard them. When she turned back, hearing the footsteps approaching very quickly, it was too late.

A man dressed in pink attacked her, especially her endoskeleton. She felt unconscious beside Toy Freddy with a clank. The toy glanced at her and, alarmed, turned around. Fortunately, he evaded the attack of the man, standing up and screaming at his face. The man just smiled with a creepy grin and hit him with an axe before tampering with him. The toy's eyes shut down right after that.

Freddy, Mario and Spring looked at the intruder. Behind him, the three animatronics could clearly see Toy Chica, Toy Bonnie and even Balloon Boy unconscious on the ground. Freddy clenched his fists and wanted to fight against the man but Marionette holded him back, walking towards the man in pink. The intruder smiled when he saw the robot coming closer to him, ready to attack.

That was without thinking about the other animatronics, especially a very pissed-off Goldie. The man turned to look at them and saw anger in their eyes. He was about to run away but Goldie teleported behind him, jumping and bitting him, crushing his whole head with his huge teeth. The animatronics smiled to him, Chica staring at the corpse without expression, and they walked towards Freddy and Mario.

The two tried to calm down, really shocked by the events, but before they could, a hand grabbed Freddy's shoulder, pressing him against the wall very strongly. The bear tried to see who was attacking him and gasped when he saw Toy Freddy, his eyes black with white pupils. He pushed his counterpart away, spitting blood before looking at his little brother with a confused glance. "Toy Freddy, what's going on ?"

The toy moaned menacingly and attacked him again. Freddy tried to look at the others. They were also attacked by the other toys. Goldie, Spring and Mario were fighting against Balloon Boy and Toy Bonnie while the other animatronics were facing Toy Chica and Mangle.

Freddy pushed his counterpart away and took what was the closest to him, in that case a gift, and hit Toy Freddy with that. The toy shook its head, stunned, and Freddy dismantled him. He had tears running down his cheeks while doing so. They were their friends.

But nothing could save them now. They needed to destroy them. As quick as possible, before any of them was hurt.

Foxy faced Mangle, trying to deactive her. The fox was trying to kill him. Mario turned around and ran to help him, hypnotizing the toy fox while Foxy was deactivating it. Finally, the white fox fell on the ground with a clank. Freddy ran to them, telling them to destroy her as fast as they could. Springtrap lowered his ear, sad, but nodded. She was one of his closest friends, just as Plushtrap before his death.

Bonnie and Chica were dealing with Toy Chica, but were in difficulty. Toy Chica was much stronger than the other toy animatronics. Even if they were two against her, they couldn't handle her. Bonnie was on the ground after one of Toy Chica's attacks and Chica was trying to defend him. Freddy and Foxy arrived and their help permitted to defeat the toy animatronic. Chica came towards her counterpart, attempting to destroy her but Goldie appeared in front of her, preventing her to do so.

"NOO !" He shouted at her, pushing her away. Chica looked at him, raising her eyebrows, confused. "She's a friend, remember ?"

"Just as were the others." Freddy replied, trying to push Goldie away but this one didn't want to move. "Goldie, we need to do this as quickly as possible !"

"NOOO, SCR*W YOU ! I WON'T MOVE !"

Bonnie came closer to Freddy when the bear clenched his fists, putting a hand on his shoulder to prevent him to fight with Goldie. That was not the time to do this. The bear sighed angrily and pushed Goldie away strongely, the golden bear falling some meters away, and decapitated Toy Chica before anyone could move.

Fredbear looked at the scene and shouted, teleporting near Toy Chica's corpse and weeping in horror. He didn't want to look at any other animatronic. Soon after, Springtrap and Mario joined them, Balloon Boy being dead on the floor behind them. The two stared at Fredbear, their eyes filled with sadness, and Springtrap took a step forward. He reached Fredbear a few steps after, kneeling next to him and putting his hand on his shoulder. "Fredbear..."

"Shut. Up." Goldie replied angrily, pushing his hand away almost violently.

Marionette was about to step in but Springtrap stopped her by waving his hand. She just sighed sadly and lowered her head, standing next to Freddy and the others. Goldie glanced at Springtrap furiously, but the bunny wasn't affected. "I know that this must be difficult, trust me-"

"How could you ?" The golden bear demanded meanly, sitting up straight and his expression being more and more threatening. "Puppet's still here."

"Now, yes."

"So how could you know how we feel when we lose the one we love the most ?" Fredbear asked, clenching his fists while staring deep in Spring's eyes.

"Maybe you're right but..." The golden bunny stopped and lowered his head, remembering when he left the pizzeria. He knew exactly how it was, to lose the loved-one. He experienced it, even if it was not in the same way. "I know what it is... to fail." Goldie's eyes widened when he heard what his friend said. The bunny shook his head, sad about what happened in the past, and went on. "I know what pain and guilt are... When you fight for something, or someone, and you find out that what you were doing was horribly wrong..."

Marionette gasped, knowing what Springtrap was talking about, but Freddy told her to remain silent. Springtrap raised his glance, looking at his long lost friend, his eyes filled with remorse. "I know what it is... To regret. Remembering what you've done, and what you won't be able to change, when you're dying painfully... Remembering the faces of the ones you made suffer and crying, begging your f*cking illusions to forgive you... !" He said, his voice being louder than before and tears running down his cheeks. "Remembering the sacrifices they made for you, ready to forgive you, and being so f*cking ashamed that you don't even dare to look at them ! Remembering how you ruined their lives for your stupid one !"

Goldie felt very guilty when he heard this. He was sad, that was quite normal, but he dared to complain to Springtrap. The bunny had suffered much more than him, and he dared to complain. Why did he do that ? He was making his friend suffer. A friend didn't do things like that.

Springtrap raised his head, turning to Fredbear, and concluded: "Yes, I know what suffering is. Guilt and Remorse are my only friends, along with Sadness."

Fredbear sighed sadly, touched by Springtrap's words, and put a hand on his shoulder to give him support. "I-I'm sorry... I didn't mean to-"

"Now, you can think whatever you want of me that I won't care. But you need to know that... You're maybe suffering, a lot... But there's always worse." Springtrap murmured, standing up and heading to the Safe room. Marionette tried to holding him back but he just pushed her away, making his way to the secret room.

Freddy, his eyes filled with tears, came towards Goldie, trying to comfort him. The golden bear sobbed and cuddled up to him. "I'm sorry... I've hurt him, didn't I... ?"

"It will be okay, Fredbear... I'm still here." The brown animatronic whispered, kissing his cheek friendly and comfortingly.

A shadow was looking at them from the darkest corner of the room, very little, with two bunny ears and glowing white eyes. It smiled with its long sharp teeth, tenderized, and ran incredibly fast to the Safe room.
