Hey guys, its Austorias here, I want to apologize for the huge delay on this chapter, my computron had completely shut down on me so I could not work for about a week and a half, but now I'm back, so you can expect normal updates. Feel free to leave me hatemail!

******************************************ON WITH THE STORY************************************************************

"Wait, wait I didn't!" Jacks was interrupted by Rook.

"Save it." He said still trudging toward him.

"Rook, he was just trying to save Knight." Bishop calmly said, mending Knight's wounds.

Nothing was said by Rook. Jacks backed up and fell over, dropping the gun.

"Wanna see why they call me The Mangler?" Rook said, raising his fist.

"I-I- I'm sorry!" Jacks continued to crawl backwards but ended up hitting a wall.

"Rook." Freddy tried to get his attention as the rest of the group held their guns to Rook. He just kept walking to Jacks.

Foxy speared Rook from behind, and they rolled around a bit, the whole group but Jacks, Bishop, and Knight followed.

After their tumble was over, Rook ended up on top. Foxy let out a loud yell before taking a giant punch to the face.

Now nearly unconscious from the massive punch, Foxy's arms fell to the floor, but quickly went back up to his neck when he felt a large force squeezing it.

The armed portion of the group aimed their guns, Bishop was still calm as ever tending to Knight.

"So-mrgh-you brought that little shit with you huh? Nrg-why doncha let him fight me? Oh, whats wrong? Cat got your windpipe?"

Foxy could do nothing but make guttural noises and kick his legs in struggle.

"ROOK!" The armed group shouted.

"STOOOOOHAHOOOP!" Jacks said, holding his arms above his head and turning around.

"God, hes a bitch huh? Betcha he can't even use his OverLoad." Rook kept asking questions to Foxy while strangling him.

Jacks took out his dagger and shook it.

"Cmon, work dammit." Jacks said while crying a bit, also trying to make his dagger glow.

Foxy felt the last his lungs had slip away, and then he began losing consciousness.

"Hmph." Rook grinned.

"ROOK!" The group shouted again, trying to intimidate him.

"Rook." A much more calm voice said, and he felt a hand on his shoulder.

He turned around, keeping his hands around Foxy's throat.

"SHORYUKEN!" *CRAAAAAACK*

Knight had landed a spiraling uppercut that sent Rook flying backwards.

Knight landed, and fell to one knee, holding her stomach.

"Hehe, broken ribs, ruptured kidney, bullet wound courtesy of that guy, still managed to pull that off, damn I'm good." Knight said to no one in particular.

Bishop ran back over to Knight.

"Woah woah woah Knight, take it easy." Bishop said, not concerned about Rook, but about Knight.

"Psh, someone had to do it." Knight joked.

The group ran over to Knight, but Jacks ran to Foxy.

"You ok?" Foxy asked Jacks in a soft voice, still on the ground.

"I should be asking you that." Jacks and Foxy both laughed.

Spring walked over to the duo, his gun evaporated into pixels in the way it had appeared. He held a hand to Foxy, which he took and got up.

"Well, that guys a dick." Foxy said, rubbing his neck.

"Yea, that's Rook for ya, Knight knocked him the fuck out though, so we're good."

Jacks still held his knife in his hands, which he sheathed.

"Ok, is the rift I opened still there?" Bishop asked, taking Knight's arm around his shoulder.

"Yes, these two are very familiar with your rifts." Spring chuckled.

"Splendid, we will be on our way then!" Bishop shouted.

"Wait, what about that monster, and Rook?" Jacks said, concerned even about Rook now.

"The monster won't be coming back anytime soon, and Rook is walking home." Freddy said.

"Yea, he has a very short temper for such a big dude." Chica and Bonnie laughed.

"Hmph, well, let's get going." Freddy nonchalantly said.

*TRAVELING MONTAGE!*

They were back at the base, Foxy and Jacks had now learned exactly where they were, under Spring's house.

Freddy had entered Jacks' and Foxy's room, they were playing tic-tac-toe, with about 8 million boards drawn on the wall.

"Wellllllll, I see you've found a way to entertain yourselves!" Freddy awkwardly exclaimed.

Jacks and Foxy both looked at Freddy, they had bags under their eyes and they looked almost possessed.

"Yeaaaaa, well, I was just checking on you guys, catchya later." Freddy slipped away.

"*Sigh* Well, I'm gonna take a walk." Jacks said, bored out of his mind.

"But-But tic-tac-toe." Jacks was already gone.

Jacks still had yet to explore all of these hallways and rooms, so he casually walked down, trying to avoid doors that looked off-limits.

Jacks came across two bathrooms, one kitchen, a dining room, and Spring's copious amounts of porn mags.

None of which caught his eye, until he came across a room with a paper sign on it written in yellow crayon.

"MECHANIC." Jacks read the sign aloud.

Jacks' curiosity got the best of him, and he entered the room.

He found countless amounts of gadgets and gear on the walls of the room, he walked down the hallway of tech completely star struck.

"HRRRRRG, HRRRRRRRG, HRRRRRRRG!" Jacks could swear that he heard Knight.

Jacks turned a corner to find what seemed to be Knight at a workbench, but she wore shorts and a t-shirt instead of armor, revealing that she had yellow fur. She was struggling to take her helmet off.

"Oh, good, ya mind helping me with this?" She pointed to her helmet.

Jacks noticed that she had bandages wrapped around her lower chest, and her thigh. Both sections slightly soaked with blood.

"Ummm, uh, s-sure!" Jacks walked over.

"That stupid fuggin Sin crushed the neck loop of my helmet, pull real hard." Knight said, turning around.

"Pull from the front of the neck." Knight kept explaining.

Jacks grabbed on.

"Ok, one, two, THREE!" Jacks counted down.

The helmet came flying off and hit the wall behind them.

Knight's voice was no longer muffled, and when Jacks saw her face his heart had skipped a beat.

She had very shiny, golden fur around her face, the cutest ears on the top of her head, she spoke with the voice of angels as Jacks stared.

"What, is it the eye?" Knight said.

Jacks just realized she had one bright green eye on her left, but the right one was completely black except for a tiny pinprick white spot in the center.

"I, uh." Jacks choked on his words.

"Well, my real name is Francis, Francis Gold, good to meetcha!" Francis stuck out her hand to shake Jacks'.

He just stood there, starstruck.

So, was it worth the wait? I still cant explain how sorry I am guys, and I thank you loyal fans out there. Well, I encourage reviews, like I always say. May you all have a wonderful day!
