Breaking Down
A/N: I think I'm finally starting to struggle a little with this one. I own only Larry and Crackers. Everyone else belongs to Scott Cawthon. I'm not sure when the next update will be, but I'll try and get on a schedule or something. Enjoy Everyone!
Everyone stood around as Bon looked around anxiously, the little rabbit wasn't too comfortable with his surroundings. Bonnie placed a hand on Bon's shoulder and motioned for him to sit down. The toy rabbit nodded and looked to his friends trying to find the right words to explain what was going on.
"Bon, is everything okay?" Toy Freddy finally asked.
Bon looked down shaking his head, "No, far from it. Springtrap, he keeps trying to get into my mind and break it. I'm only assuming he wants to use me for a body or something."
"How long has this been going on?" the restored Freddy asked sounding slightly disappointed.
Bon winced slightly and looked up, "Since we moved to the new building and he first made his presence known. I think he's been targeting me since he knows of my insecurities, my fears, and my nightmares."
"Which are?" the restored bear pressed once more.
Toy Freddy was about to speak up until the blue rabbit shook their head, "My nightmares are watching myself get killed over and over again. For my insecurities, how do I even know that I'm me? After all I was nothing but a spare endoskeleton with a few original parts. How do I know I'm really me, and not just a replacement, which ties into my fears."
"We had no idea, lad" Foxy responded looking at the toy rabbit, "As far as we're concerned you're as original as it gets. A majority of us have spare parts in us, that's that they're there for to keep us up and functional. Besides, it's what's on the inside that counts."
Mangle nodded, "He's right Bon. Please don't ever think that you're not you."
"But-"
"Trust me lad, you can't win against her." Foxy playfully warned and then turned to Freddy who still looked troubled, "Freddy?"
The restored bear looked at the toy rabbit, "I noticed when you go to sleep mode you tend to wonder around as a shadow, why?"
The toy rabbit looked at the restored bear, "Because, it allows me wonder and ensure that no one is in danger. I saw him lure those children away Freddy, no one would believe me. IF I could have stopped him…maybe no one would have been hurt. Maybe you guys wouldn't have had to endure that pain."
"Bon calm down" Chica responded gently.
Toy Freddy nodded and put a hand on his friend's shoulder, "We're all here for you, I wish you would have said something sooner. So when you fade off like that you're really just making sure everyone is safe from guilt?"
The toy rabbit nodded and then turned to the restored rabbit who remained quiet the whole time. Gently nudging Bonnie, the older rabbit opened their eyes and shook their head. Part of him was upset that Bon had kept something like this hidden from him, but he knew he had no room to talk since he had the same tendency. Seeing that the toy model was now terrified that he was angry he shook his head once more and instead pulled the toy into a hug, "I would yell, but I have no room to talk."
"That is quite true" Marionette spoke appearing with Golden Freddy at their side, "Now then do we finally understand what's going on?"
Everyone nodded allowing the two mysterious animatronics to nod and almost turn to leave until Freddy stopped them. The restored bear had to do something to ensure everyone stayed safe, and if there was a way he could help Bon he would do it. Finding the right words he turned to the mysterious models, "How are the shadow animatronics made?"
"Freddy what are you thinking!?" Balloon Boy asked.
Freddy shook his head, "I can't let one of our own bear that kind of burden alone. Besides Bon will need to rest eventually and recover his strength since I'm sure projecting yourself like that takes quite a bit of energy."
Bon nodded, "It does, but are you sure about this Freddy?"
The restored bear nodded, "I can't allow anyone to overwork themselves."
"That should apply to you as well" Toy Freddy shot back, causing the others to chuckle slightly.
Golden got in between his counterparts, "Freddy, if that is what you want to do I will not stop you. However, for a shadow animatronic to form…The original body must go through something traumatic."
"So like when Bon's body was destroyed?" Mangle asked.
Marionette nodded, "That kind of trauma was strong enough to allow Toy Bonnie's will to project itself in another manner, in this instance a shadow of himself."
"So in order for me to use a shadow form, I have to go through something traumatic?" Freddy asked steeling his resolve.
Marionette and Golden nodded, "That is correct. Shall we give you a traumatic experience?"
The restored bear nodded and was immediately shocked when Golden ripped his head off without a second thought. Freddy wanted to scream but his voice would no longer function, and somehow as the puppet began to sing he felt like he was thrown into a different reality. He looked around and noticed that all of his friends were lying about the main room dismantled and destroyed. He wanted to scream, but he had no voice but instead moved to each one of his fallen friends and cried. When he got to Bonnie he realized that the rabbit was barely hanging on.
The rabbit looked up his endoskeleton eyes fading, "You should have told her Freddy. We promised…to protect her, but you weren't there after I was destroyed. She cried out for you to save us….why didn't you help us Freddy? Don't we matter to you anymore?"
The bear tried to speak only to feel agony as they were not able to utter a single sound but instead weep as their closest friend passed away. Bonnie was the only one who truly understood Freddy, and all the demons of his own that he had. The two had started off as friends, but soon they had become very much like family that would do anything for one another. Things had been a little rough when Chica was introduced, but Freddy had given Bonnie the chance to win the chicken's affection. He could recall all too well the despair the rabbit had fallen in after his confession. With shaking hands he pulled Bonnie close to him and wept. He lost more than just his friend, he had lost his best friend, and the only other animatronic that truly understood him.
"What's the matter Freddy? Couldn't even save your best friend?" a voice taunted.
The restored bear looked up only to feel anger as both Fredbear and Spring Bonnie were standing in front of him, "Did you two do this!?"
"Come now Freddy, surely you're not that dumb." Spring Bonnie remarked and turned his attention towards Chica, "Of course we did. We saved her for last though, and made sure she suffered greatly."
Fredbear laughed, "Yet all she did was cry out for you to save her. You failed there though, you failed to protect everything you held close. From your best friend, to the one you kept your feelings for away as to not hurt your best friend."
Freddy looked down and set Bonnie down gently, "Thank you my old friend. I know you tried to protect everyone where I failed. As for you two, get the hell away from her or I will destroy you!"
"The odds are not in your favor" Spring Bonnie laughed.
Freddy looked down and then back up revealing his endoskeleton eyes, "You destroyed not just my friends, but my FAMILY! That is something I will never forgive or forget."
Before either animatronic could taunt the enraged bear he lunged for Spring Bonnie had caught the rabbit by the throat. Letting out a loud scream he threw him against the wall and then found Foxy's body and took his hook digging it into the older animatronics skull. He watched as the rabbit slumped over and then turned his attention to Fredbear.
The older bear animatronic was holding the body of Toy Freddy, "And what about this one, you despised him in the beginning."
"Leave him alone! I may have at first, but I now understand he just needed someone to guide him….Now he's like a little brother to me. This ends now Fredbear!" Freddy yelled and charged at the yellow bear knocking them down and dropping Toy Freddy's body.
Without any remorse Freddy dismantled the older bear almost relishing the screams it made as it was torn apart piece by piece. He sought vengeance for his friends, but now that he had avenged them it felt empty. He was now alone, everyone else laid about damaged beyond repair. With shaking hands he started to put everyone back together as they once were to the best he could manage. It all felt like a lucid nightmare, but it felt all too real to him.
"Freddy stop!" Chica could be heard screaming in the distance.
Meanwhile as Freddy was trapped in his lucid nightmare he had successfully managed to manifest a shadow form of himself. However, he still had no idea how to control it and wasn't aware that he had his hands around Marionette's throat. Before he could cause the animatronic harm Bon stepped in and pushed the newly formed shadow away from the puppet, only to invoke the wrath of the shadow bear.
"We need to wake him up now!" Golden snapped at the others who quickly started to try waking Freddy.
Bon nodded ducking a punch from Freddy's shadow, "Quicky would be appreciated! He's a lot quicker than he looks!"
Balloon Boy stood next to Freddy and did the one thing that the bear hated, without hesitation he honked the bear's nose causing it to wake up and throw the boy animatronic into the wall, "I…I'm….W-Wait…B-Bonnie! Chica…everyone you're okay!"
"Sounds like you had quite the nightmare" Marionette spoke and almost seemed relieved as Freddy's shadow faded, "Perhaps we picked something that was too harsh."
Freddy blinked, "Wait I actually managed to manifest it?"
"That you did" Bon responded returning back to normal, "Quite a powerful one at that."
"I didn't hurt anyone did I?" Freddy suddenly asked.
Chica shook her head, "No thankfully you didn't. Freddy what happened you seem shaken up."
The restored bear sighed and started to tell everyone about the nightmare he had endured. How everyone had been killed, Bonnie's last words to him, destroying both Spring Bonnie and Fredbear, and finally rebuilding everyone and sitting there weeping. Everyone was shocked at the bear's confessions, and were left quite speechless. Before anymore could be said everyone returned to their spots as the 6 AM bells began to chime. It would be a long day for everyone, Freddy was certain of that.
