Shadows of the Past

A/N: I own only Larry, Crackers, Faye and Morgan. Everyone else belongs to Scott Cawthon. Enjoy everyone!

Mike watched as Freddy set him in his chair and started to look out towards the hallway. He noticed that the toy models stayed close to him revealing their endoskeleton eyes. Freddy and Bonnie looked to one another and started to head for one of the rooms. Before Freddy could get far Chica grabbed his arm, "Freddy please!"

The restored bear looked down wearing a sad expression, "Chica, I want you to stay here. This is something Bonnie and I need to face. If something were to happen to you I would never be able to forgive myself. Please stay here with Foxy and the toys."

The restored Chicken was about to say something until Foxy placed a hand on her shoulder, "He be right though lass. The history is between them, not us."

Chica nodded looking down and then turned to Bonnie, "Please, please make sure he comes back!"

Bonnie nodded trying to mask his own sadness, "You know I will Chica."

Bon looked to Freddy, "Please, make sure my brother comes back in one piece."

The restored bear nodded and then proceeded to move to one of the rooms. Bonnie waited for a moment and closed his eyes as Bon quickly hugged him. He could tell the toy rabbit as upset, and if something were to happen the last thing he wanted to remember seeing would be that upset face. The lavender rabbit had a feeling that things could turn bad for him and Freddy, and knew what would have to be done if drastic measures were called for. Patting Bon on the head one last time he made his way to join his lifelong friend.

"I guess there really is no going back now is there?" Freddy asked.

Bonnie nodded, "Freddy listen, no matter what happens tonight I'll make sure you get out of it one piece. I can't bring myself to trust Spring Bonnie, but maybe just maybe we can get to Fredbear somehow. He always was the more sensible one."

"Bonnie…." Freddy looked down as they walked around the halls, "I made a promise to Bon to bring you back as well. I can't even imagine what that little rabbit is capable of when angered."

"Just use your imagination. Imagine my rampage except on a smaller scale." Bonnie responded and looked into one of the rooms, "I know he'll be okay though, I took precautions in case something were to happen."

Freddy looked at his friend and shook his head, "Yet people underestimate you, half the time I feel like I do as well."

The lavender rabbit chuckled softly and turned their attention to a noise behind them, "I think everyone does. Hello there Spring Bonnie, Fredbear. I see that you two got away from Springtrap for the time being."

Freddy turned and noticed that Spring Bonnie and Fredbear had appeared before them. Something was different about Spring Bonnie though, their eyes seemed darker and full of bloodlust. Fredbear looked towards the two restored models, there was something in his eyes. Freddy had read it as remorse, Bonnie had the same distinct feeling and allowed Freddy to take the lead, "So how are you two back?"

"We were pulled back from rest once Springtrap warped our old anger. He told us that you and the others had made a mockery of the legacy set forth." Fredbear spoke.

Freddy shook his head, "We have done anything but that. Come on, we'll show you."

"How do we know this isn't a trap!?" Spring Bonnie demanded.

Bonnie looked towards the angry shadow, "We wouldn't stoop to that level thank you. Just follow us and you'll see what Freddy means."

The two shadows of the first animatronics nodded and followed the two restored models towards one of the rooms that was labeled Fredbear's Diner. Looking inside they realized that the room was set up as how the diner once sat. There were pictures lining the walls with Fredbear and Spring Bonnie themselves. The menu was even the same as the old diner serving foods from hamburgers to banana splits. Fredbear looked around touched at how much care had been placed in the room that showed their legacy. He looked around as different items of memorabilia were placed next to pictures including his old bowtie and hat. He turned to the restored models of Freddy and Bonnie, "How did-"

"We wanted to pay homage to those who came before us" Freddy replied.

Fredbear looked around, "It's almost like walking into the past, when we were loved and not forgotten by everyone."

"Do you find it suitable?" Bonnie asked, "Is there anything we could do to make it better?"

Spring Bonnie started to laugh, "Sure there is, the two of you can die!"

Freddy and Bonnie quickly turned to the shadow of Spring Bonnie who started to laugh darkly. It had been what they feared all along, Springtrap and Spring Bonnie were truly the same entity. Each one warped in their own way, and now that they were together again it could spell doom for them all. Freddy quickly formed to his shadow and pushed Bonnie back, wanting to keep to his word and bring the rabbit back in one piece, "So Springtrap…"

"So you were able to tell, I'm quite impressed" Springtrap smirked, "You're outnumbered though Freddy Fazbear. It's two of us against one of you! Fredbear kill him already!"

Fredbear looked to the restored bear and looked hesitant. Everything Springtrap had said was a lie, Freddy and Bonnie had ensured their legacy lived on as a reminder of their humble beginnings, and what helped establish the groundwork for their future. Turning to the restored bear's shadow that looked ready to fight he decided that maybe it he made it look like he was trying Springtrap would fall for it. Without a second thought he swung at the shadow bear and threw them to a wall and pinned them against it.

"Freddy!" Bonnie yelled.

Freddy looked at Fredbear, "YOU!"

"Listen carefully." Fredbear started quietly, "I am on your side, your kindness and care to keep my memory alive is something I will not look past. We just need to fool Springtrap for that long. Can you trust me to do that, Freddy?"

"He'll kill Bonnie! I c-can't let that happen!" Freddy threw Fredbear back, but nodded slightly indicating he understood.

Meanwhile in the office Mike, Chica, Golden, Mari, Foxy and the toy models watched in dismay at what was going on. Bon watched as Freddy and Fredbear fought against one another and how his brother was trying to keep Springtrap off of him. So far the shadow had done more damage to the restored rabbit then the rabbit could return. Springtrap had already managed to tear off his arm and managed to damage his one leg so he could no longer move.

"I can't watch this anymore!" Toy Chica cried into Toy Freddy's shoulder.

Toy Freddy looked down, "There has to be something we can do! Right, Bon?"

Bon remained speechless fixated on the monitor, he knew that there was no way it would have been a fair fight. Closing his eyes he couldn't even bear to watch as Spingtrap went on the offensive once more. He wanted to desperately rush in and play the hero, but he knew he was no match for the other shadow rabbit. If he were to go in it would be a death sentence, and that alone would have invoked the wrath of his brother.

"Freddy, you promised.." Bon spoke quietly and proceeded to sit in a corner.

Mike looked at the toy rabbit sadly and noticed something sitting on one of the monitors. It was a box of some sort and when he opened it he realized inside were instructions on what to do if Freddy or Bonnie had fallen against the shadows. He also realized that there was a small box sitting inside as well and noticed it had Bon's name written on it. Placing the box down he returned his attention to the monitors as Chica uttered no over and over again.

Back in the Fredbear room both Bonnie and Freddy laid on the ground looking defeated. Bonnie being in the rougher shape remembered his promise to Chica and knew he still had enough energy to pull it off, but he would only be able to save Freddy this time around.

"You put up a decent fight I suppose" Springtrap laughed and turned to Fredbear, "What are you waiting for? Kill them already! Don't you want your revenge against them for replacing us!?"

"Bonnie I'm sorry….I let you get damaged…" Freddy looked down.

Bonnie shook his head, "Freddy, it's alright. For what it's worth, thank you for being the greatest friend anyone could ask for. It's been quite some time, but I am thankful that you've always been at my side. I'm sure you'll be able to keep everyone safe, just watch out for Bon….He'll need someone there to help him grieve."

"Bonnie, quit talking like this! We'll figure something out we always have!" Freddy turned to the damaged rabbit.

Bonnie shook his head, "I have a promise to keep. Take care of yourself Freddy."

Before the restored bear could yell at the rabbit he found himself back inside the main office and fell to the floor. Looking down at his hands he covered his face and for once after so many years he felt oil slide down from his eyes. The last time he had done so is when they had been thrown into the parts and service room, and his friends had become heavily dismantled. Shaking his head, he continued to repeat no over and over, as if denial would be the one thing to save him from his current situation. He looked up and regretted doing so when the feed to the room was cut, and all he could hear was Bonnie's screams.

Meanwhile Springtrap laughed as Bonnie struggled to keep himself functioning. The shadow rabbit turned to Fredbear, "I need to retreat for now, please do make sure this piece of scrap is taken care of."

Fredbear remained quiet until Springrap left and then quickly kneeled down next to the damaged animatronic, "Bonnie….can you still here me?"

"Are you going to kill me?" Bonnie asked quietly.

Fredbear shook his head, "No, that would be an insult to the true Bonnie now wouldn't it? Let's get you back stage and fixed up….I am so sorry…"

"Why are you helping me?" the damaged rabbit asked.

Fredbear looked forward as he helped the damaged animatronic move, "When you sacrificed yourself for Freddy it made me realize that there is still good out there. I used to think Spring Bonnie was the original, but I was dead wrong. The original Bonnie is you, you are the embodiment of everything that name was supposed to represent."

The restored rabbit listened intently as Fredbear continued, "T-then you should meet my little brother, he's worse than I am."

As the shadow moved the restored rabbit to the service room another moved to the room they had last saw someone they cared for. Bon looked around for any signs or clues that could lead him to his brother. Toy Freddy had rushed after him worried that the toy rabbit had become unstable, and as their best friend it was their job to ensure that they'd be okay. With the box that Mike threw at him in hand Toy Freddy wasted no time making his way for the Fredbear room and looked down sadly as he watched Bon transition from his shadow to his regular body in a pool of oil. The blue rabbit fell to their knees and lifted their hands looking at the oil that ran down their smooth covering. Freddy had tried to keep his promise, but it was to no avail. Bon looked up revealing his endoskeleton eyes, and at that instant Toy Freddy knew he would have to step in to save his friend.
