Released

A/N: So did anyone actually see that twist coming at the end? Just curious don't mind me. I almost feel like the phone guy when I write these things out…. Oh well you know the drill I own only Larry, Crackers, Faye and Morgan. Everyone else belongs to Scott Cawthon. Enjoy the next chapter everyone!

Foxy watched mortified as Mangle's controlled body continued to get closer to the kits and forced himself to sprint even harder. His children were in danger, and the one who was placing them in danger had tried to fool the children by wearing the body of their mother. As Foxy rushed towards the stage with the others behind him he noticed that Springtrap had one of the kits, and was most likely going to use them as leverage. He had already lost the bot of his life, he wasn't going to let himself lose their children. They were all that remained of his three pieces of beloved treasure, and if something were to happen to them Mangle would never forgive him if she woke up.

"Morgan!" Faye cried as her brother was grabbed by Springtrap and pulled to the edge of the stage.

Morgan closed his eyes as he felt something get placed against his neck, "Faye, run."

"SPRINGTRAP!" Foxy bellowed at the shadow controlling Mangle.

Springtrap laughed and kept a sharp tool at Morgan's neck, "Anger me and the child dies simple as that!"

"I don't think so" Marionette spoke and entwined the controlled toy fox in a mess of wires, "Faye, Morgan run! I won't be able to hold them long."

Faye nodded and grabbed Morgan and flew off the stage almost knocking Jeremy down in the process, "Papa!"

Foxy looked relieved, "Are you two alright? Did they hurt you?!"

"We're fine" Morgan responded trying to brush his uneasiness off.

Foxy looked relieved and then turned to Springtrap, "I should tear ye apart from limb to limb."

Springtrap laughed and freed themselves from the binds Marionette placed on them once more, "Doing so you'd mangle the one you cherish once more."

Foxy turned towards Freddy, "The only thing that can expel a shadow is another shadow, right?"

Freddy nodded and looked to Bon and Fredbear who nodded in agreement. The restored bear and the shadow inhabiting the spare endoskeleton quickly set themselves free while Bon hesitated. The toy rabbit knew how much it had bothered their own friends and his brother that he was able to manifest his shadow almost too well. Instead the toy decided to wait it out unless he was needed. Freddy and Fredbear turned to one another and got on the stage. Freddy was ready to fight to protect his friends and home from anyone who meant harm. Fredbear was ready to finally seek some closure for his past, and wanted to make amends for causing so much pain to Freddy when they had "fought". He had a lot he wanted to redeem himself for, especially the bite of 87 that had stripped Freddy and the other models of their freedom to walk around during the day. Springtrap laughed from within Mangle and looked at his former friend, "So you have gone to their side. I'm hurt Fredbear. I always thought we would get our revenge against these fake models together. Think of all the blood and oil we could have spilt in just this place alone."

"Silence." Fredbear spoke coldly, "Just how many have you actually hurt Spring Bonnie?"

"More than you could bear" Springtrap laughed, "I was so happy when you had your first taste of blood, even if those brats threw that poor child into your mouth. The screams of the people were music to my ears, the kids laughing was just a nice added bonus. Oh how I remember that mortified look in your eyes, you had your first taste of blood, and you were afraid you'd get hooked."

"SILECNE!" Fredbear yelled and forced Springtrap from Mangle's body by tackling him onto the stage of Pirate's Cove, "That was an accident and I am still mortified that I caused a human child that much distress! If I could have stopped it I would have, I still wonder about that child…what happened to them…"

"They found solace" Marionette spoke to Fredbear, "I made sure of that."

Fredbear turned towards the puppet, "Thank you, Marionette. That does give me some peace actually.

The shadow of the older bear turned their attention back to Springtrap and lunged for the shadow of their former friend. They had been through a great deal together, but when Springtrap had hurt employees beforehand their friendship started to wither. It only became worse when Spring Bonnie and Springtrap became two separate entities and Fredbear learned of the atrocities that were committed by the purple man. Now that the two entities were reunited the old bear was furious. He swung at Springtrap and took notice that the shadow was able to counter his moves rather well. The shadow rabbit was quicker than he had anticipated and made its way towards Mangle's body once more. However the shadow was stopped as Freddy threw it back and made his own assault towards the shadow rabbit. Springtrap realizing he was out numbered and powered chuckled and started to fade enabling him to return to his sanctuary in Larry, "The more I kill….the stronger I shall become. You won't be able to stop me Fazbear….No one will!"

"You obviously haven't met a furious mother whose children are in danger" a voice hissed and Springtrap was struck once more.

Everyone turned their attention to the voice and noticed that Mangle had activated once more, and looked furious. The toy fox had revealed her endoskeleton eyes and made no hesitation to attack the shadow rabbit. After all, it had made the horrible mistake of trying to harm her kits, and even tried to use her own body in the process. They were all curious as to how she was actually able to hit the shadow of the old animatronic until they noticed that Bon had one of his eyes closed. It hit Mari that perhaps Bon had lent part of his strength to Mangle so she could get some much needed payback against Springtrap. The toy rabbit looked to the puppet and nodded indicating that their guess was most likely accurate. Bon continued to watch the fight thankful that he was able to lend Mangle the strength she needed to get even with the shadow that had destroyed her, and then tried to use her body to harm her own children. Foxy watched as Mangle fought against Springtrap and never realized that his jaw actually dropped from his head. He was in awe to see Mangle fighting against the shadow that had managed to kill her before, and that against him now she had a strong fighting spirit. Faye and Morgan watched from behind their father as Mangle fought against Springtrap once more, and was actually winning. To them it was like a dream come true, their mother was alive, and defeating something that haunted them while they were in their sleep modes. The toy fox landed a few more hits before Springtrap faded not wanting to admit defeat. He had been beaten badly by Mangle's assault, and from the looks of the toy fox they were most likely ready to go another round unless he vanished. Mangle sighed and thanked Bon for lending his strength to her when she needed it most, and then turned towards her family. She was overjoyed to see that the three of them were unharmed.

"MAMA!" Faye and Morgan cried hugging her.

Mangle smiled softly, "It's alright it's me this time, it's really me! I'm so sorry you two must have been so frightened."

"It's you" Faye cried happily, "Mama, it's really you!"

Morgan continued to cling to the white hard cased fox, "D-don't leave us like that again! Papa was devastated and afraid that we lost you!"

Mangle chuckled slightly, "I'm a lot harder than that to get rid of, granted I was afraid myself."

The white fox looked towards Foxy and shook her head slightly picking up his detached jaw, "Is something wrong dear? You look as if you've seen a ghost."

Foxy placed his jaw back and tackled Mangle to the ground kissing her, "No, I finally have one of my greatest treasures back with me. An angel of steel that is willing to take on anything to protect her children."

"Oh stop it" Mangle giggled as Foxy nuzzled against her, "You did a wonderful job, taking care of them."

Foxy looked at Mangle in the eyes and pulled her close, "It was a bit challenging, but I had to, and I will still do everything I can to keep them safe. I'll also do a lot more to keep you safe as well. I can't bear losing you again."

Mangle smiled faintly and got up out of Foxy's arms and offered her hand to him. Foxy nodded and took it and allowed the toy model pull him up and before he knew it she was guiding him around the stage to a song only she could hear, "You won't lose me again, I promise."

Freddy and the others watched from their positions feeling relieved that Mangle had activated, and had even managed to get even with Springtrap. Jeremy looked around feeling relieved that things were getting underway, but realized there was still a lot to do, and only a little time to actually get it done. He was about to ask Freddy for help, but the animatronics had already dispersed around the building to help get things ready for opening. Goldy, Freddy, Toy Freddy, and Fredbear were already at work setting tables and rearranging them for a party that was coming in. Chica and Toy Chica were in the kitchen getting the ovens started and working on getting fresh dough out for the cooks. Mari and the balloon children set up a new shipment of prizes in the Prize Corner. Bonnie and Bon got the games up and running and then did a check of the sound systems. When everything was good they started to help wherever they could until it was time to open.

Faye and Morgan looked eagerly as children and their parents started to spill into the building and turned to their parents who still seemed lost in their own world. The two chuckled and turned their attention to the children that were starting to gather around the cove, "Hey Papa, we have guests!"

"New crew new crew!" Crackers called and flew down landing on Foxy's shoulder, "Welcome to Pirate's cove!"

Mangle chuckled slightly as Foxy jolted and turned to the children, "Welcome children, are you ready for some adventure?"

"Aye!" the children cried happily.

Foxy smiled and pulled Mangle and the kits to him, "Then set the sails! We've got open sea to cover, and many great treasures to find!"

"Aye aye Captain!" the children cheered once more and started to explore around the cove as Foxy and Mangle sang together.

Meanwhile in another part of the building Springtrap lurked in the shadows trying to rebuild his strength from the onslaught of attacks he had received. He had not expected Mangle to activate so quickly and manage to actually cause some damage on him. Part of him was curious on where the animatronic fox had gotten their strength, but it didn't matter for the time being he needed to regain his strength and find his next victim to become stronger. There was an array of victims to choose from though, but the best ones would be the animatronics since he could drain them of their strength and everything else that made them unique. He had failed in that aspect with Mangle since her will to protect her children was stronger than even he anticipated.
