Just Gold
A/N: Marionette going against Springtrap, what could they be thinking? The title may be an indicator of who's going to pretty much steal the show. I really don't think this story is done just yet, so just hang on for the ride and enjoy.
Marionette searched through the whole building trying to find Springtrap. With another one of the toys fallen it meant he was getting closer to his goal of destroying them all. The puppet had grown concerned realizing that the ones that had suffered the most were the toys. The shadow refused to try and attack the restored models with the exception of Goldy, and now they knew why. The toy models despite their size had a great deal of energy behind them, they needed it when it came to performing various duties around the place. Turning a corner they looked around cautiously as Springtrap's laugh echoed through the hallway.
"Pull yourself together" Mari spoke to calm their nerves.
Springtrap emerged from the shadows and looked at the puppet, "Did you not learn from last time? No matter, at least that accursed bear isn't here to save you this time!"
"I will put a stop to this once and for all!" the puppet spoke and got ready to confront the shadow.
All throughout the empty building the screams of the puppet and the shadow it fought could be heard. Freddy noticed that Goldy was getting uneasy and wanted to do something to help. The restored bear picked up the plush bear and looked to them, "Goldy, there's nothing you can do like this."
"They'll kill them!" Goldy sounded worried.
Toy Chica looked at the plush bear, "You would do anything for them, wouldn't you?"
"Of course I would. I'd do anything to protect all of you, especially them." Goldy looked towards the area where the screams were resonating from and jumped down from Mari's box, "I'm going to help them."
"Goldy wait!" Freddy groaned as the golden stuffed bear rushed towards the sounds of the screams, "Is ANYONE listening?"
"You say something?" Bonnie asked looking towards his friend, which caused the restored bear to groan in frustration.
"Bon we need to do something!" BB looked to the toy rabbit, "What do we do!?"
"We trust him" Bon sighed and turned towards the remaining toy models, "I know Goldy, he wouldn't run off like that if he didn't have a plan."
"You think so?" JJ asked.
The toy rabbit nodded and then turned to Freddy, "We need to figure out a plan in case he fails. I doubt he will, but a back up never hurt right?"
Freddy nodded surprised on how quickly the toy rabbit was able to take over where his friend stood. The restored bear could tell that the small rabbit was still uncomfortable with the idea, but was most likely doing it so their friend could rest easy. As Freddy got everyone gathered around the other side of the building had grown quiet, and it had all of them concerned. In one of the rooms Mari struggled to get back up, yet managed to dodge another blow from Springtrap. As the puppet had feared the shadow was fighting with the strength of three animatronics, and with their frail body it seemed like their end would be near.
Just as Springtrap was about to land another blow, something had taken the hit. Mari looked up shocked to see their teddy bear was standing in front of them with their arms stretched out. Shakily they got up and noticed the bear seemed to follow them and continued to stand in front of them as if to act as a shield.
"What kind of trick is this!?" Springtrap demanded.
Mari looked at their bear, "H-How is this possible."
The stuffed bear turned around and looked at the puppet, "Hello sweetie."
"G-Gol….Gold….y…" Mari was barely able to speak.
Goldy nodded and then turned to Springtrap, "What do you say, are you ready for round three?"
"Naturally" Springtrap responded and ignored the stuffed bear and went straight for the weakened puppet.
Before Mari could react Golden had jumped in front of them and the room was engulfed in a bright light. Springtrap was thrown back against the wall and Mari looked up noticing a hand was being offered to them. It was the same golden color that they had come to adore and without a second thought took the hand offered to them. Golden picked Mari up and looked back towards Springtrap. The shadow groaned and glared at the golden bear, "Why won't you just die!?"
"You have hurt my friends and family." Golden spoke darkly.
Springtrap laughed and vanished towards the generator room, "Then you can all perish together."
"He's going to…" Mari almost sounded horrified, "Goldy he's going to burn the place down!"
"He's not taking us with it though" Golden responded and teleported Mari back to the prize corner relieved to see everyone was gathered around, "Good we're all here. Springtrap has decided to set the building on fire to get rid of all of us."
"What!?" Freddy looked shocked, "What are we going to do then?"
"Calm down Freddy" Goldy looked towards the vents, "When Rex upgraded me he placed a protocol that if something were to happen I can lead everyone towards one of the manager's houses."
"That's what we're going to do then?" Mari asked still being held by the golden bear.
Gold nodded and noticed that both Freddy and Bonnie were heading towards Fredbear's room, "AND where are you two going?"
"Just to grab a few things" Bonnie called.
Golden sighed and shook his head, "Those two I swear…"
"I think it's sweet." Mari responded gently, "Those two have worked so hard to restore Fredbear's name and legacy. We probably don't have much time do we?"
"Not really" Golden set Mari down and looked around, "Normally I would tell you to gather important things but we don't have time for that now. We need to evacuate immediately."
Everyone nodded and Larry looked towards the group and was about to wonder off ready to die in the fire until Golden and Mari stopped him. The golden bear extended his hand towards the eagle, "You're free from him. While I was being repaired I heard that a new company has purchased you. It'll be more of your liking as well."
"I appreciate you telling me this" Larry looked down and then back towards the golden bear, "I'm sorry….for everything I have done. I should have listened…"
"It's all water under the bridge now" Golden responded and turned towards Freddy who was returning with Bonnie behind him, "What on earth did you two grab?"
"Oh this that and the other thing" Freddy responded.
Everyone gathered around as the golden bear continued to explain what was going to happen, and how they would be able to keep them safe for the time being. Chances were while the place was being rebuilt or restored they would be moved to the old building. Everyone nodded and the kits seemed to take interest in what the old building was going to be like. However, the calm was quickly broken once Faye realized that she had left her bow back in the den. As she was about to run for it a burning beam fell in front of her causing her to back off.
"Faye it's just a bow we can make you another one!" Mangle tried to calm the upset kit.
Faye shook her head, "No, that one was special Papa put so much effort into it!"
"Allow me then" Golden responded and teleported to the flame engulfed den.
The golden bear quickly grabbed Faye's bow, and Morgan's ship so the young kit would also have his most precious treasure as well. The golden bear was concerned that the buildings sparkler system hadn't kicked on yet. Part of him was sure that somehow Springtrap had managed to disable it as well. It had all seemed like a well thought out plot to move them to a turf where the shadow would have an advantage. The bear couldn't figure out why the shadow would destroy the building it haunted. What was Springtrap really aiming to do? What was in the old building that would give him the upper hand? Shaking the thoughts away for the time being the bear quickly returned to the Prize Corner. Faye and Morgan quickly tackled the bear realizing what he had saved, and even their parents had expressed their gratitude.
"We should get out of here" Freddy looked around, "The sprinklers still haven't come on. That's concerning."
Bonnie nodded, "I agree with you there Freddy. What is that deranged shadow trying to do….it doesn't matter though first priority is getting out of here alive. All of us."
Golden nodded, "Bonnie I will most likely need your help since you're the only other one capable of teleporting."
The restored rabbit nodded and listened as Golden explained what he was to do. The restored models paired up with Golden while the toy models and Larry paired with Bonnie in order to escape the building. The restored rabbit watched as Golden and the others vanished and then turned towards the one's he was responsible for, "Ready?"
Everyone nodded and kept a tight hold on one another, Bonnie, and the dormant body of Toy Freddy. Without even putting much thought into it Bonnie fixed his mind on the location they were to end up at, and before the others could even comprehend what was going on they were standing outside of a house. Golden waved to them and instantly everyone was gathered around the bear once more.
"Goldy, where are we? Who lives here?" Chica asked.
Golden looked towards the house, "Jeremy lives here. For the time being since they were evicted Mike and Leo live here as well."
"Awww so they did lose their place? That's a shame." Mangle looked down, "So how are we going to get their attention? It's the dead of night."
Golden turned towards Bon and Bonnie, "How would you two feel about going in and letting Jeremy know that we're here?"
"Why us?" Bon asked and then realized why, "Ohhh….well I guess it could be fun. What do you say, Brother?"
Bonnie nodded, "Sounds like fun, however I need to do a few things first."
Everyone watched as Bonnie quickly removed the top part of his face to where the only thing that remained was his jaw. The restored rabbit then removed their left arm and left it in the care of Freddy who seemed utterly shocked. Bon stifled a laugh and looked around the house for a way to get in. Freddy looked at the two rabbits and shook their head, "Goldy are you sure about this? Those two have given him nightmares."
"Why do you think I chose them? They're perfect for the job." Golden responded and turned towards Freddy, "Like you wouldn't have either?"
Freddy tried to hold back a laugh, "Okay you got me there. I do find it funny that someone has nightmares about two rabbits who most likely wouldn't even hurt a fly."
"But they try to hurt me" Crackers responded.
Foxy shrugged, "Ye had it coming Crackers."
Larry watched as everyone interacted, but still felt alienated until the puppet approached them, "Ummm…"
"We already forgave you" Mari started off, "We know our home isn't your ideal place. I'm sure at some point though you'll find where you belong. I am relieved to see you free from Springtrap's corruption and control though."
"T-Thanks" Larry was almost dumfounded and then the balloon children approached him, "You two don't find me repulsive?"
"You're looking at the two most hated animatronics by the guards" BB started.
JJ decided to finish for her counterpart, "So in comparison you're probably well liked and a welcome sight."
Larry nodded slightly fazed and then realized that both Freddy and Chica were approaching him, "If you two want to tear into me again I don't blame you."
"Nah" Chica responded upbeat.
Freddy nodded, "Welcome back to our world, Larry. I hope you learned from what you decided to do."
Larry nodded, "I have. Also uhhhh…..Where did the two bunnies go?"
Freddy looked towards Jeremy's house, "I'm sure they just decided to go play with one of their favorite guards."
