Chapter 4: Meeting the King

Back at the motel, Mike decided to get Eli something else to wear, since the birdling uniform had a tracking device on it. Eli told him that his favorite color was blue, so he got him a bright blue t-shirt with a white eagle shape on it. Mike also got him a gray hoodie, jeans, and some light blue sneakers. I have to admit, Eli looked nice in the clothes Mike got him, especially when we have the tracking device off our hands.

While Mike was getting some groceries, Eli stayed and looked after us. To pass the time, I was reading a book the motel happened to have in the waiting room while the others were taking a nap. Eli looked at them and smiled. "Wow. You guys really aren't like other animatronics, aren't you?" Eli said. Then I looked at the others sleeping. I then chuckled and said "Yeah. Mike says that sometimes."

"I bet he would. You guys are…WAY more fun than what my dad told me about you."

Then I curiously asked him "You know, if you lived with your father, why didn't he teach you how to…you know…be evil?"

Then Eli had a sad look on his face and replied "Well…It wasn't…always like that."

Then he sat on my bed and said "My mom and dad divorced when I was only 9 months old, so my mom took care of me. You would've liked her. Mom was…always there for me. She was…the sweetest woman I've ever met, and…I was very lucky that…that she was my mother." His eyes started to water as he continued "But then, j-just two weeks ago…she…she died… due to a… car accident."

Then I said "Eli I…I'm so sorry." But he didn't reply. Then he shed a tear and continued "After that…my dad took me in. And…then he showed me…Team Phoenix. He told me t-told me to…join Team Phoenix…or else…he would send me t-to an o-orphanage."

Then I yelled "WHAT?!"

That caused the others to wake up, but they kept their silence when they realized that we were talking. I got furious and said "How could he? Your own FATHER! How could he treat his own SON like that?!" Then more tears came out of his eyes as he said "I d-don't know h-how he c-could live with h-himself either" Then Eli put his hands over his eyes and said quietly "M-mom, why did you have to go?!"

Eli started sobbing as I put my hand over his shoulder and spoke to him with a gentle tone. "It's OK, Eli. It must be hard to lose someone you loved so much. But it wasn't your fault. It wasn't anybody's fault." Then I leaned him closer to me as I continued. "You know, your father… is an idiot. Because he doesn't know what he has brought into the world."

Then Eli started to wipe his eyes. He looked at me and said "Thanks, Freddy."

Then Eli and I started to hug each other (Writers…don't get any… IDEAS) and then Eli said "You know…I bet you're going to use your powers for…amazing things."

Then I shockingly asked him "H-how did you know about my p-powers."

Then Eli said nervously "Ummmm. D-did I say p-powers?! What I meant to say w-was…s-showers. Yea. I bet you're gonna use you're showers for great things."

Then Chica said "WOW. Worst…cover…EVER."

Then we looked at them, and Eli sighed and said "My dad told me about your powers. That's the reason why Team Phoenix is after you." Then I asked "What are they planning to use my powers for?!"

"I don't know. My dad wouldn't tell me until I become a true member of Team Phoenix."

Then Foxy said "Do ya think it has ta do with the edoskeletons?" Then Bonnie said sarcastically "Let's see…Team Phoenix trying to get Freddy…after they steal OUR endoskeletons…gee I don't know." Then I said "Bonnie! Now is not the time to play games. This is SERIOUS!" Then Eli said "Calm down Freddy. Now that the tracking device is gone there's know way they can find us."

But then over 15 black vans came and surrounded the motel. Then I said to Eli "You know… jinxing is one thing…but endangering my life… yeah, don't want that to happen."

Thankfully Mike came in before the vans came. He entered the room and said "Hey guys. You guys O-." He then realized that Team Phoenix members came. While Mike stared at them he said "Yeeeeeeeaaaa…maybe we should've moved somewhere." Then Chica said "Ya THINK?!"

Then Barrett came out of one of the vans with the Phoenix King following behind him. Then Eli said "Oh no." Then I asked him "What is it?" Then he looked at me with a scared look on his face and said "That man...in the coat…is my dad." Then Bonnie said "Well shit. Now what are we gonna do?" Then an unfamiliar voice said "How about you let Freddy come with us?"

It was the Phoenix King with Barrett behind him. Apparently, Mike left the door open, and he's still pretty embarrassed about it. Then the Phoenix King said "Allow me to introduce myself. I'm the Phoenix King. And this is my assistant Barrett. We're here to take your friend on a little…visit… to our home."

Then he noticed Eli and said with a calm tone in his voice "Hello Elijah." Then Eli said "Dad."

"Where are the clothes I got you?"

"I chose…not to wear them."

"I see. And where did you get those…new…clothes?"

"My friend Mike bought them for me."

Then Mike said "W-what? Don't put me into this, man." Then the Phoenix King looked at Mike and said "Oh, Mike. I just remembered that you were taking care of these…animatronics…of yours." Then Mike said with a confused look on his face "H-how do you know that."

"I have my…resources. And plus…you've met me before."

Then he took his hood off and Mike recognized him. "D-Daemon?!"

"Hello again Mike."

"I-I thought you were taking care of the restaurant."

"Excuse me, but…aren't YOU supposed to be taking care of the restaurant?"

Then Mike felt guilty and kept silent. Then Daemon looked at me and said "Now…about you." Then I said "What do you want?"

"You'll find out…when you come with us."

Then I had a firm tone in my voice and said "No!" Then Daemon laughed and said "That's cute. You are trying to be brave. But the truth is…just like Mike… you're just a coward. You know you can't defeat us…so you might was well give up and follow me."

Strangely, in a way, he was right. I DO know that I won't defeat them on my own. But there was NO WAY I was going with them so that they could use my powers for their own evil needs. So, trying to be brave again, I firmly said "NEVER!"

Then Daemon said "Well, if you don't cooperate I'll just take you by force." Then he looked at Barrett. That was a signal for Barrett to come and grab me by force. Barrett then said "This is going to be fun." Then he started walking towards me.

But then Bonnie came and punched him in the stomach. Barrett then put his arms over his stomach and fell to the ground. Then he moaned "God dammit rabbit." Then Bonnie said "The name…is Bonnie!" Then Bonnie knocked Barrett out by kicking him in the back of the head.

Then Daemon said "Well. You've got a pretty good body guard there, don't you Freddy?" I didn't answer, but instead started running towards the doorway while the others followed. Daemon started chasing us when we got out of the room.

When we made it out of the hotel we were surrounded by Team Phoenix members. All of them had tazers. When Daemon finally caught up with us he said "Look, Freddy. You're surrounded. There's no point in trying to escape. So you might was well just give up now."

We all didn't know what to do. We just stood there staring at the henchmen. We were completely helpless. Until something…very VERY weird happened.

Suddenly everything froze. Nothing was moving, and I was the only one that was remaining active. Then I saw a…black figure knocking out the henchmen. I didn't get to see his face but…he dressed in all black with a black hat on its head. He knocked out the henchmen with some…weird…duel blade things. After the figure was done knocking out all the henchmen, he started running away. I tried to go after him but he was just to fast for me. Then, when he disappeared into sunset, everything kept moving again and every single henchman fell to the ground.

Then we all started getting to the car. Mike then started to drive away, while Daemon was just sitting there, still shocked at the sight. "H-how did this HAPPEN?!" he asked himself quietly "This is impossible!"

While we were in the car, I asked the others a question. "Hey guys. D-did you feel that when we were back there?" Then Foxy said "Wha'?"

"When we were back at the motel, being surrounded by all the henchmen, did you feel something…strange?"

Then Mike said "It's probably nothing. Maybe you were just scared. It's OK now, Freddy. We'll protect you." Then I kept silent, not wanting to continue the conversation. Then I thought *Maybe I was just being scared. It was probably my imagination.*

Then, on top of a hill, the black figure watched us. He then said quietly "I'll protect you."

Looks like things are getting wierder and wierder by the minute.

Also that "strange figure" that you saw at the end of this chapter, that's an OC that one of my fans made for me to write about. I still cant believe that my story has been popular enough that a fan would actually let ME use one of his OCs!

OMG OMG OMG. Anyway, thank you guys for all the support that you gave to this series. I am SUPER grateful. Hope you enjoyed and the OC will be introduced in the next chapter.

Heaven OUT-OMG OMG OMG!
