A Game Of Spies, Haunted Animatronics And Demons
Chapter 21: The Purge
[Third Person]
All around the State Of Oregon people were carrying on with their daily activities on a normal Friday, not aware of the events that had just happened in their government and in Freddy Fazbear Pizzeria, all happy in their ignorance, they didn't even found it strange when they saw the great number of policemen and SWAT members arriving in the streets and patrolling the cities
Until the Policemen began rallying people into groups and forcing them to leave their daily activities to go to their homes or to public places with televisions or radios, some resisted and pushed those policemen back, or refused to leave their working places, those who did so were violently beaten and arrested, these shows of violence served to scare the people, who now went to their homes or to public places without hesitation
A few hours later when the state's cities were mostly clean now and the rural places filled with policemen, all television and radio programs were completely interrupted and replaced with the image of a small government office, a man with a ponytail and wearing a police chief uniform was sitting on a desk and holding several papers, the man looked at the screen and coughed before beginning his speech
"Citizens of the State Of Oregon, There is no need to be afraid or alarmed, everything is under control, our dear state is under a State Of Emergency, several high officers of the government, Armed Forces and Police Force were murdered in a coup attempt, the former head of the Police was sadly murdered too, I am Fritz Smith, the new head of the Oregon Police Force"
"As I said before, there is a State Of Emergency, our Governor has given emergency power to the Police Force to maintain control and order, the Constitution has been suspended temporally, don't be scared of this, you got nothing to be afraid of about your rights if you have nothing to hide, just cooperate with the Police and you'll be fine"
"This coup attempt was a unhonorable and dirty attempt by communists financed by the USSR to overthrow our democratic and just government in Oregon, and thus a Purge will begin in the State Of Oregon to cleanse our state from all Coup-supporting elements, this is all for your own good and safety, Citizens"
"A Curfew has been declared too, every citizen will have to be in their homes from 6:00 PM to 6:00 AM, Any Citizen found outside and violating the Curfew will be arrested and jailed until their innocence can be proved in a trial that will take place after the Purge ends, The Curfew will officially begin this Monday, this Friday, Saturday and Sunday Citizens are required to stay in their homes for the whole day, there will be severe consequences for any violation"
"Citizens must strictly adhere to the orders of the Police Force for their own safety and comfort, the Police have permission to use lethal force against any violations, so be careful, citizens! We don't want to kill people, so please don't force us to pull the trigger, citizens aren't allowed to leave the state while the Curfew stands too"
"That's all, dear Citizens, be careful and report any violations to the Police Force, and remember! You got nothing to fear if you got nothing to hide, you better get to your homes soon, in two hours everyone found outside their home will be considered criminals and arrested or executed, goodbye and have a nice day!"
With that, the new Police Chief, Fritz Smith, stopped talking and the televisions and radios all began showing static and only static in all channels, people watching in public places were quickly disbanded by the police and forced to go to their homes, Police Patrols and SWAT squadrons kept arriving, as well as Riot Control Police
Of Course not all Citizens submitted peacefully to the Police, some sensed something wrong was happening, specially those Policemen who were left untouched by Fritz's coup, several citizens quickly realized something wasn't right, and instead of following the Curfew, they only went to their homes to get their families and, those who had them, weapons
Groups were formed between these citizens who refused to submit, they were small, separated and disorganized, but one particular Japanese Man that went by the name Matsuo began rallying them and uniting the groups in silence, preparing to escape from the city of Portland and into rural land before the two-hour time went out
A Russian man who listened to everything from the shadows, hidden alongside a group of Animatronics, quickly resolved to travel to his home, but hidden, as he knew the policemen would shoot on sight if they saw him and the Animatronics
Two hours later, Policemen began to beat and arrest those few who didn't got to their homes in time and to kill those who dared to defy the police and the curfew, a new group then arrived with the police, they consisted of groups of armed men with silver uniforms, very different to those uniforms the normal Nazis used, they began breaking in into houses and buildings to begin the real purge
This was not a purge to get rid of supposed communist rioters trying to overthrow the government, this was a purge to deal with the enemies of the Puppet Master, who now enjoyed supreme power in the state
[Puppet Master POV]
We sat on our desk, looking at the cameras aiming at us proudly, We were no longer focusing on our Human, Flitzgerald form, nein, this was a new era, we still kept our human form around for the connection, hidden like we hid the Puppet form, but we were now showing ourselves in all our splendor and glory, we were truly the Puppet Master now, We were in the Marionette Form
We soon began our speech headed towards the members of the Organization, this was also a new era for the Organization, no more councils to question our orders and stop us from having absolute power, we were now fully in control, only a puppet council of our three most loyal agents remained
"Compatriots, Brothers And Sisters! With glee in our hearts we come to inform you these cheerful news! The Coup, led by the traitorous Frederick Fazritz, has been completely and utterly crushed, we just captured the Pizzeria yesterday and the recognized Major Wilhelm Cronenberg crushed the uprising in our bases in eastern Oregon, not even a single pocket of resistance remains in the State! Those Coupists who survived have gone into hiding around the State"
"But we know their locations, we know all, we are hunting them down, and we are also taking down the disruptive and pro-Coupist members of our Organization, this is a great Purge, dear brothers and sisters! We will cleanse our dear Organization from all the filth that harasses it!"
"For that, I announce the creation of a new force inside the Organization, a secret police you would call it, a group of brave men and women who will fight to the dead to defend their leader, they will be above any member of the organization, except ourselves, the Puppet Master, I announce the creation of the brave Silver Angels!"
"They can be recognized by their shinning silver uniforms and silver badges, during this purge they will go around the State to arrest every single unloyal element in this Organization, they are indeed Silver Angels, Grim Reapers, Purgers, Judges, they will help us crush all the enemies of the Organization!"
"The Silver Angels lack any rank or organization, except for the Silver Archangels, who can be recognized by their golden-trimmed silver uniforms and golden badges, they will act as leaders of Silver Angel Squadrons and have authority over any member of the Organization, excepting ourselves and The Trinity, a group we will discuss soon"
"All Officers of the Organization can expect a Silver Angel Squadron to come to them soon, they will arrest every suspicious officer and give him a fair trial and sentence, so be ready to answer questions and to cooperate if you wish to have your position untouched"
"On other news, The Joy Of Creation has reached its peak now! Before the Coup began, our dear head scientist Di Gama discovered the way to transmit the soul to an Animatronic without having to go through all the tedious, extremely long process of getting ready for the Joy, although its not perfect and some preparations and drugs need to be taken before starting the ritual"
"Since we've discovered that, all members of the Silver Angels will have to embrace the Joy Of Creation, that's why we have only chosen the most loyal and strong agents of the Organization to form part of this new force, they will be able to endure the Joy and reborn as strong, invincible Animatronics!"
"Now, Passing on the issue of the Trinity, With a heavy heart I announce to you that during the Coup, the murderous Coupist traitors savagely and brutally murdered all but three members of the council, Fritz Smith, Di Gama and Okura Shinobu, those three are the only ones who survived, and I am afraid I must dissolve the Council"
"But don't despair, from the ashes of the Council a new order shall rise, and that order if The Trinity, also called Herr Puppet Master's Trident, The Silver Triumvirate, The Three Judges, those three council members who survived will form it and they will be reborn as Animatronics too!"
"Fritz has already declared he will be a Silver-furred Wolf, Di Gama will be a silver-feathered Imperial Eagle while Okure has chosen to be a Silver Fox, all of them shall be reborn as Animatronics and join me in ruling the new order!"
"The Trinity will work similarly to the former Council, while I will have absolute power to stop a coup from ever happening again and to improve our unity and strength, the Trinity will act as direct subordinates to me, they will help me rule the Organization and advise me on my decisions"
"We got the brave and loyal Silver Angels, the glorious and righteous Silver Archangels, and the wise Trinity, this is indeed a new era for our organization, be wary of enemies and get ready to get a visit of the Silver Angels soon, dear brothers and sisters!" with that, the cameras turned off
We sighed and looked at our desk, there were several pieces of papers, each of them with a list of names that each Silver Angels Squadron had to hunt, The Silver Archangels were standing in front of us, ready to take their copy of the list to begin hunting with their squadron, we began handing the lists and dismissing each Silver Archangel until only one remained
We glanced at the list and took our pen from the desk and, inspecting it, we crossed one single name from the list, we had prepared those lists long ago, long before the coup was even a thing, long before Fazritz began dissenting, long before the WPIC began getting their noses where they didn't belonged, we expected this day to arrive someday and we were ready
But there was only one person in the list of those who would be killed that would be spared, we completely covered the name in ink so it wasn't even visible, and then we handed the list to the Silver Archangel, who saluted and then left the Main Office
The name that was crossed? The man who would be spared from the fury of the Puppet Master?
Wilhelm Cronenberg
[Wilhelm Cronenberg POV]
Wilhelm Cronenberg gulped and turned off the Radio in his office after hearing both Fritz's Speech to the Citizens of Oregon as the new head of the Police, and Herr Puppet Master speech about the new order in the organization and the new institutions established… a Silver Angels Squadron would come to his Headquarters very soon and he was very nervous
Wilhelm took a big sip of the glass of whisky he was holding and looked at the people in his office, his friend Freudenberg who was very pale and nervous about the Silver Angels, pacing around the room with a glass of whisky in his hands and a cigar in his mouth, muttering a few words
Roxy, who was sitting on a guest chair on the side of the room and watching Wilhelm and Freudenberg worried, she was distracted playing with her tail as she thought of what could happen to both of them, Wilhelm was worried about that too, what if the Silver Angels arrested him? Was he suspicious of any crime?
And finally Linus, who, like a cat, was curled up into a ball in the corner of the office and was sleeping, a really ridiculous and inappropriate behavior for one of the Animatronics of the Puppet Master, although he guessed that since Mike Schmidt hadn't been stuffed into him yet was the reason of his behavior, it would all be solved out after he was stuffed
Finally the silence was broken by Roxy "G-Guys, there is no need to worry, not even a bit! Herr Puppet Master is merciful and kind, He won't even hurt a fly! The Silver Angels will surely just arrest us and give us a fail trail like he said in the speech, there is no need to worry, and you joined the Loyalists, Freudenberg! The Puppet Master is generous and he will forgive you, and even reward you for your help!" Roxy said nervously, it was obvious she was beginning to doubt about her devotion to Herr Puppet Master
Freudenberg looked at her and snickered "This one got very brainwashed by Herr Puppet Master's agents, wasn't she? I haven't seen an Animatronic with more devotion in my life! Well, except for Horace The Horse, poor Phone Guy… but anyways Roxy, I fear the Silver Angels will take me" Freudenberg said sadly
"Nein, I won't let them take you Freudenberg, you're my friend and you helped me take this base back, I know Roxy is too devout, but I am sure the Puppet Master is good and will spare you, just don't worry" Wilhelm said as he took another drink of his whisky and looked at his friend, who didn't said anything and just kept pacing around the room
A tense hour passed and suddenly a soldier knocked on the door to Wilhelm's office and opened the door, the soldier had a grim and scared expression in his face as he saluted the Major "Herr Major! A Silver Angel Squadron has arrived, they are 11 Silver Angels and one Silver Archangel, the Silver Archangel wants to see you" The Soldier said, looking at him nervously
Wilhelm looked at Roxy, then at the sleeping Linus, and finally at Freudenberg before looking at the soldier and answering "Then tell him to come in, I will talk to him here" He said with courage, not wanting to appear weak before one of his men, the soldier nodded and saluted again before leaving the room
Wilhelm heard a few words being exchanged outside the office and soon enough a Man entered the room, a Silver Archangel for the looks of it, Wilhelm got a good look of his uniform as the man closed the door behind him and sat down in a chair in front of his desk, looking at Wilhelm with a smug look of superiority in his face
The Silver Archangel was wearing a Silver-colored uniform with a golden trim, it had golden gauntlets, boots, belt and cap while golden lines appeared around the uniform, there was a golden badge that had a Swastika and a few words on German on his chest, as well as a Luger hanging from his belt, but the Luger was different from Wilhelm's Luger, as the Archangel's Luger was decorated, it was painted golden and had rubies in it
"Major Wilhelm Cronenberg! They speak highly of you and your feats back in the Headquarters, Herr Puppet Master himself has praised you, you must be very proud of it! I am Silver Archangel Ewald Finkel and I will serve as the Silver Archangel of this base, my job is to watch your men and make sure morale is high and loyalty too… but for now, there is a purge going on, and me and my men must look for suspicious soldiers" The Man said, shaking Wilhelm's hand and looking at Freudenberg with suspicion
"It's a pleasure to meet you, Silver Archangel Finkel, You're more than welcome to stay ehre with us and I will be honored to serve besides you, on the matter of the purge, I am afraid I completely trust on all of my men, there are no traitors among us, the Coupists are in our jails though, you can take them back to the headquarters for those trials" Wilhelm said, trying his best to appear confident and sure of himself
"There is no need for you to try and prove the innocence of your men, we got already got a list with those suspicious, disruptive elements in your base and we will deal with them soon, but as for now, those Coupists in the jails are worth of attention, could you lead me to them?" Ewald said, eyeing Freudenberg with suspicious again before turning around to walk towards the door, not even waiting for Wilhelm to answer
"As you wish…" Wilhelm said quietly as he walked towards the door, Freudenberg and Roxy following him closely, the small group walked around the base until they finally arrived to a room full of jail cells, which were filled with Coupist prisoners, Wilhelm noticed that 11 men in silver uniforms were following them, most probably the rest of the Silver Angel squadron
Ewald looked around the room, glaring at the several men jailed up and snickering, but suddenly the man freezed as he looked at one high-security cell that contained a single man, Scott Nodol, one of the founders of the Anti-Flitzgerald Committee and the one responsible for the Coupist uprising in eastern Oregon
Scott Nodol looked up to stare at Wilhelm and at Ewald, no emotions in his face "Major Wilhelm, I see you got a new friend, and that traitor of Freudenberg is with you too, what are you here for? You are going to kill me? Take me to Flitzgerald? Torture me?" Scott said, still with no emotions in his face
Wilhelm shook his head "Nein, Mr. Nodol, Silver Archangel Ewald here will take you and your men back to the Headquarters, where you will receive a fair trial and a fair sentence, I am sure the Puppet Master will be kind and gi- EWALD NO!" Wilhelm speech was interrupted and he screamed as the Silver Archangel took his golden Luger out and, not bothering to say anything to Scott or Wilhelm, aimed it at Scott's head and pulled the trigger
Wilhelm watched helplessly as Scott's lifeless body fell to the ground with a loud thud, a small hole in his head dripping blood and creating a small puddle around his head, smoke came out of Ewald's Luger, Roxy screamed and looked at the body, then back at Ewald "M-M-Monster! The Puppet Master will not be happy when he finds out you killed a prisoner without a trial!" Roxy said, oily tears forming in her eyes
Ewald turned around to face Roxy, a smug grin on his face "Darling, Herr Puppet Master ordered it" He said before turning to face his Silver Angels, who stood ready with rifles at hand
"Its time to cleanse this base of all filth, Harold, Frusberg, Gritter and Bernstok, you stay with me and help me get all those Coupist with a rank higher than sub-lieutenant out of their jails and against the walls, the rest of you go around the base, you got copies of our list, look for those in the list and execute them without hesitation" Ewald said, the Silver Angels saluted and left the room, only four remaining
"W-What?! But Herr Puppet Master said the Coupists would have a fair trial! As well as those suspicious, he never said anything about executions!" Wilhelm muttered, looking at the Silver Archangel with disbelief in his eyes, meanwhile the four remaining Silver Angels opened the jail doors and began dragging out every Coupist with an officer uniforms, some coupist soldiers tried to stop them and get in the way, but the Silver Angels simply raised their rifles and slaughtered them all without any hesitation
Roxy began crying softly in the ground as her whole image of the Puppet Master collapsed around her, Wilhelm looked at her with pity, remembering how she always talked highly about Herr Puppet Master and how he wouldn't even hurt a fly… and now she was seeing his direct subordinates slaughtering anyone who got in their way
As the Silver Angels dragged the officers out of their jails they began lining them up against the walls, some officers were just thrown into the ground and shoot right there, but those with higher rank were lined against the wall and then gunned down, Wilhelm watched in despair, he couldn't do anything about it or he would be killed too
Gunshots and screams were heard all around the base, Those men were slaughtering his man, slaughtering the men who were included in that awful list the Puppet Master himself wrote, he couldn't believe it, his image of the Puppet Master was collapsing just like Roxy's, why would the Puppet do something as cruel as this?!
One officer of Wilhelm's group was suddenly thrown into the room, a Silver Agent coming in with a pistol quickly gunned him down in the floor, he had a list in his left hand, the Silver Angel consulted the list and then looked at the Freudenberg, then back at the list, and then towards Ewald, who got close to him
The two men exchanged a few words and the Silver Archangel looked at the list and then at Freudenberg, Wilhelm's blood went cold as he feared the worst, Ewald took out his luger and approached Freudenberg, who stared at him in defiance
"Mr. Freudenberg, I am afraid I got orders from the Puppet Master to execute you for your betrayal of his glorious leadership, you should be thankful that I am telling you instead of shooting you in sight, please walk calmly to the wall, I will give you the privilege of having a whole firing squad just for yourself as a reward for switching sides" Ewald said, looking at Freudenberg
"Gee, what a good reward" Freudenberg said sarcastically, glaring at Ewald "But if that is Herr Puppet Master's will, then I shall do it, I don't want to stay alive and serve under a monster who does this things" he said before walking towards the blood-spewed wall, the Silver Angels in the room all stopping their activities and getting in a firing squad formation
Wilhelm couldn't believe what was happening, he quickly jumped out, shoved Ewald out of the way and grabbed Freudenberg's arm, stopping him from going to the wall "Nein, Nein, Nein! You can't do this Freudenberg! There must be a mistake! I WON'T ALLOW MY BEST FRIEND TO BE EXECUTED JUST BECAUSE AN IDIOT WHO JUST ARRIVED SAID SO! I WON'T ALLOW IT! DON'T YOU DARE TO GO TO THAT WALL, FREUDENBERG! ITS AN ORDER!" He said, getting desesperate to save his friend
But Freudenberg just smiled at him "My Friend, as you once told me, calm down, its usual for someone to get angry when they lose an argument, you told me that when I switched sides, but now you see that I was right all along, the Puppet Master is a murderer… its too late to do anything right now, I am doomed, yet I am sure you will do the right thing, in the right time, my friend, but for now, just obey the Puppet Master, stay with him… this is a goodbye my friend, farewell, I wish you luck in your life and in your journey" Freudenberg said with a smile in his face before breaking free of Wilhelm's hand and standing in front of the firing squad
Wilhelm just stared at him, dumbfounded and confused, thinking of the words he had spoken, Ewald glared at him and then stood behind the firing squad, grinning "PREEEEPARE!" He screamed, the Silver Angels quickly got their Rifles ready
"AIM!" The Silver Angels raised their rifles and aimed at Freudenberg, who was very calm down and apparently at peace, ready to leave the world, he smiled all the time at his executioners
"FIRE!" The four rifles shoot at once, the wall was splattered with even more blood and Freudenberg fell to the ground, barely alive, he smiled one last time and breathed for one last time before finally dying, peace in his eyes
Wilhelm didn't even cried, he just stared, still to confused at what was going on, as soon as Freudenberg died more people were sent into the wall and shoot, and more, and more, he was going to go insane if he watched more of it, Wilhelm turned around and hugged Roxy, trying to comfort her as she cried loudly
He didn't even knew what to think now, should he still follow the Puppet Master? or try another coup against him?
He was completely lost now
[Matsuo POV]
Matsuo was crouching silently in front of a window, Sniper rifle in hand, looking at the lonely street below the building, the sound of running and shouts could be heard in the distance getting closer and closer with each passing second, He looked at the building on the other side of the street, where he knew his other comrades would be, and then at his sides, to the other window, where he saw his comrades directly
They were normal people, policemen who refused to follow the orders of the new chief, Army soldiers who knew something was wrong and didn't wait for their superiors to order them to act, defected CIA agents, CIA agents even, all of them united to fight against the purge and save as many people as they could
Of course they wouldn't be able to handle the whole Police Force and the army of Herr Puppet Master, they would have to retreat from the city and into the fields very soon if they didn't want to end overwhelmed by the sheer numerical superiority of the enemy forces, Matsuo hadn't told his men the truth about what had just happened in the city, not yet, but soon he would
Suddenly, he tensed up and looked over the street with the scope of his sniper rifle, a group of five, no, ten men and women had just entered the street, only half of them were armed, they were shouting at each other and looking around for a place to hide, but it was too late, soon another group entered Matsuo's field of view, a group of about 30 policemen with rifles and riot-control equipment
They raised their rifles and aimed at the group, who tried to surrender and drop their weapons, but Matsuo had already seen scenes like these before in the day, Policemen would give those surrounded the chance to surrender, and when they dropped their weapons, they opened fired and slaughtered their now armless victims, they had to act and soon
"ATTACK!" Matsuo shouted before aiming at the head of one Policemen and shooting, killing him instantly with a bullet to the head, merely a second after he had shouted his order several flashes were seen and gunshots were heard coming form the buildings on the side of the streets, The Policemen began going down like flies and soon they were all dead
The doors of the buildings opened and some of Matsuo's recently acquired men rushed out of the building and began explaining the situation to the survivors, the rest of his men began leaving the building, Matsuo going out the last, as soon as the new members were introduced to the rest of the group, Matsuo impatiently began walking away, hiding in the shadows of the buildings, his group soon following
They were about 50, he had reunited them in a short amount of time, very impressive, it was all part of Zang's plan, Zang and Matsuo knew that the CIA was too clueless and wouldn't do anything about Flitzgerald until it was too late and he was knocking on the doors of the White House
And the WPIC, although effective and already fighting the threat, wouldn't have enough Manpower to fight the Puppet Master's full army and would soon get crushed, so the two men had decided for Matsuo to start a new group, a Guerrilla Army operating in the State Of Oregon to battle the Puppet Master and assist the WPIC in secret until the time to reveal themselves came
And so, Matsuo had seized the opportunity when the Purge had began, he had quickly reunited all of his contacts, knowing they wouldn't be safe from Herr Puppet Master's Purge, and began saving and reuniting more people who were interested in joining, most didn't had a choice, chased by the police and unable to go back to their homes, they had no choice but to take the offer
50 strong men and women, and now 60 due to the small group they rescued, and they weren't even a small shadow of the numbers Matsuo had in mind, the day had just started and they were going to keep saving people and recruiting them, soon they would retreat into the woods and begin their guerrilla there
And so, the Oregon Free Army was born
[Leonid POV]
Leonid rolled out of the way as a barrage of bullets filled the air he was once standing in, now on his knees he raised his AK-47 up and pressed the trigger, sending a volley of bullets towards the group of three soldiers in silver uniform that had ambushed him and the Animatronics in an alley, only one of them came down, the others were in cover and reloading
He cursed and rolled again so he was behind a wall, just in time as several bullets came crashing down at the ground and at the wall he was covering behind, ripping of some parts of the walls, these guys were god damn elites! They had found six of them at the beginning, four were standing outside a building with some bodies surrounding them while other two had just exited the building dragging a screaming man and a crying woman out of the building
Without thinking twice, Leonid had opened fire at them, expecting them to all die like the soldiers he had faced before, instead they rolled out of the way like professionals and only one of them was killed by his barrage of bullets, and then the battle had begun, now only two of them remained…. But they had taken a big toll on the group
Mangle had been temporally deactivated by a bullet on the right spot, while Shade had been badly damaged while trying to fight hand-to-hand with one of the elites, only causing him to be beaten and almost destroyed, Kino had saved him on time, but was damaged on the way
Only Foxy and he remained, two versus two, he looked at the Foxy that was hiding on the other side and then shook his head towards the two Silver-Uniform Soldiers, Foxy nodded in understandment and then, as they began reloading, ran out of cover and sprinted at full speed towards the cover of the two men
Just as he was on the middle of the way, the two men got out of their cover and began firing at Foxy, only for Leonid to jump out of his cover and open fire at the two, killing one of them and forcing the other to stay down until he ran out of ammunition, the last silver-uniformed soldier quickly rose from his cover and aimed his rifle at foxy, only for it to be cut in half by the fox's hook
Foxy knocked the man to the ground and quickly slammed his hook down on his head, killing him instantly and leaving free passage for Leonid to go out of his cover and drag Mangle over to Foxy, Kino rose from his cover too and carried the badly wounded Shade towards the fox, who was looking at his hook and then at the man, surprised and… guilty? Was the fox guilty?
Leonid shook his head as he approached and left Mangle leaning against the wall, an example Kino was quick to follow by leaving Shade leaning against the wall too, the KGB agent looked at the heavily armored samurai Animatronic and then at the Pirate Fox, the only two members of his group still capable of reasoning
"We need a plan, and soon! We can't stay here and wait for more of this Silver Assholes to come here, Kino is already unable to fight for a while and you got shoot at several times, Foxy, if more Silver-Uniforms come, or even simple Policemen, we are dead for good" Leonid said darkly, looking at his Animatronic companions
"We can't go back to your headquarters, Matey! Frederick is still out there, and I ain't gonna let 'im walk the plank! We must find that lad and bring him with us" Foxy said, Kino nodding, still not talking, Leonid sighed and looked around the street nervously, in no time the police would arrive to the scene, they had to decide and fast
"Fine! We will find Fazritz and bring him with us to The Little Motherland, but don't expect me to be nice to that old man! I still need an explanation to what the fuck is going on here! Why is the Puppet Master base full of nazi flags? Why are there policemen and soldiers from The Puppet Master slaughtering people freely? Why was Fazritz wearing a fucking Nazi uniform? And WHY DO THEY CALL THE PUPPET MASTER HERR PUPPET MASTER?!" Leonid said, his temper exploding
"I've told you that our systems are about to go free from all influence from the Puppet, Mate! Wait a couple of hours and we will tell ya, just wait, be patient my matey, be patient and all your questions will be answered… but for now, lets find Fazritz, he told us he would be hiding somewhere near the Pizzeria" Foxy said, and without saying another word, lifted up Mangle and carried her over his shoulders before walking away, Kino following closely with Shade
Leonid groaned and then began walking while reloading his AK-47, since when did Foxy decided what to do? He hoped they would find Fazritz and hopefully get some answers
[Dragomir POV]
Dragomir was woken up by a loud thunderbolt… only to realize he wasn't in his room, nor in the Little Motherland, he was in a fancy room full of portraits and statues, with two twin staircases going up and leading to a black and golden double door, was that a dream?
Nyet, it was another one of his visions… what did the Puppet Master wanted now? Although he had the strange feeling the Puppet Master wasn't responsible for this vision
Slowly, Dragomir climbed up the staircase on the right, just now noticing he was dressed in a fancy suit, he slowly climbed all the way up and then approached the door
He opened the door slowly and got in, the door closing slowly behind him, it was another fancy room, with two fancy wooden chairs in front of a small table with a bottle of whisky and two glasses in it, all of it in front of a fancy ivory and golden fireplace
And in front of a window that revealed they were in some kind of city, with clouds on the skies and thunderbolts on sight, a man wearing a gabardine was standing, looking at the storm outside
Slowly, the man turned around, he was wearing sunglasses and he looked Chinese, who was he? The man slowly smiled, looking surprised
"Ah, Comrade Dragomir Godov, at last!"
[Fazritz POV]
((Kinda Depressing part following, probably this isn't sad and I just suck at writing sad scenes, but just a warning if you're sensible))
Fazritz stood hidden in the shadows of an alley in front of the Pizzeria, his life flashing through his life very slowly, he stared at the Pizzeria, that barely had any protection left, everyone was out in the streets, helping the Silver Angels and the Police to slaughter all of those who opposed Herr Puppet Master
Was it all worth it? Was the Coup worth it?
Did my men died for nothing?
Am I going to die?
Is it even worth it to live anymore?
Words crossed his mind as he sighed and examined his life, he knew he wasn't going to ever see another day, he was going to die that day, he looked up at the sun and realized how valuable it was to him, he breathed in fresh air, just now, after all these years, just now realizing how great it was to live
Scott Nodol is dead
Emilos Hugo is dead
Siegfried is dead
And soon I will be dead
No one of his friends remained, he was completely and utterly alone in the world right now, his dear children, his dear Animatronics were gone, hopefully somewhere safe with Leonid… oh Leonid, why was he even thinking of betraying him since the beginning? Just now he realized how a valuable ally he was… in another time, in another place, In another circumstance they could've been friends
Flitzgerald is gone too
My best friend…
…My best friend is no more
No more Flitzgerald
Just the cold shell of the Puppet Master
He just stood there for hours, soon the sky got clouded and it began raining, as the clouds covered the sky, he gazed at the sun for one last time, knowing it was the last time he would see the dear sun and its warm embrace, it disappeared behind the clouds and the warm sensation in his skin was replaced with bitter cold and wetness due to the rain
The Coup has failed… I've failed
I am going to die now
And I am not going to show any resistance
But I am going to die free
Free from Flitzgerald's cruel hand
Fazritz looked at his old staff he used to walk, with shaking hands he hit the wall with it until the staff broke in two, he almost fell to the ground, missing the support his staff provided to him
Freedom…
What an interesting concept…
What was Freedom exactly?
He was never going to know what it was exactly
But he knew he felt it right now
Slow, but steadily, Fazritz began walking towards the Pizzeria, Silver Angels and Nazi Soldiers spotting him and raising their rifles, only to slowly lower them, as if a invisible force had just ordered them to lower their weapons
Here I am
Walking straight to my dead
Ready to embrace it
He kept walking, very straight, until he tripped and fell to his knees
Even now I am weak
No, I am not weak
I won't let a simple fall stop me
Shaking, he stood up, ignoring the pain in his knees and legs and just kept walking, the soldiers just staring at him, he tripped again when he reached the gates of the Pizzeria, but stood up yet again and entered
Happiness…
Am I happy?
I was never married
But my Animatronics are my children
I may have failed in my task
I may have failed the world
But with my dear children safe
I am truly happy
Even in this hard moment, Fazritz smiled and walked straight for his office, he felt a invisible force guiding him, surely Flitzgerald, who wanted to kill his former friend with his own hands
I Am Free
Free from the Puppet Master
Free from my staff
Free from the guilt of those who I have killed
For I have been already forgiven
He slowly glanced at the Pizzeria with nostalgia in his eyes, memorizing every single detail of it before entering the North Hall and beginning to walk through it, seconds seemed like hours, minutes seemed like days, the hall seemed endless, but he soon arrived to his destiny, his old office
I Am Free
I Am Happy
I Have Fulfilled My Purpose
And Now I Must Leave
Fazritz slowly opened the door of his office and got inside, looking at the desk to find his former friend, Jeremy Flitzgerald, he smiled as he saw him
Even now that he has adopted his Animatronic form as his true form Even now that he is turning everyone into robots
Even now a small fragment of the old Jeremy remains
As he has the decency to present himself as Jeremy
Not as Herr Puppet Master The Terrible
But as his friend, Jeremy Flitzgerald
No words were spoken, the two men knew what was going to happen, there was no need for tragic and dramatic speeches, there was no need for tears, for fear, for regret, for anger, there was only time for two friends staring deep into each other's eyes, Flitzgerald's eyes weren't black with white dots like before, no, they were back to their normal color, two bright blue eyes staring at him
Scott
Emilos
Siegfried
Toy Animatronics
I am coming, my friends
I am finally coming
Jeremy sighed and took out a knife from the desk, it was the knife he used on the rituals of The Joy Of Creation, a small ceremonial knife, he extended his arms to his sides and looked at Jeremy's eyes all the time, knowing that the killing blow would come soon
"You won't die yet, my friend, you will not see another sunrise, but your time here is not over yet, you still need to reveal the truth to Leonid…I am So, So Sorry… if just we had meet in another circumstances…" Jeremy spoke
For the first time in many years
I now hear Jeremy
And not the Puppet Master
I Couldn't be happier
He smiled at his friend and executioner before saying
"I Forgive You"
He didn't even felt any pain when the knife impaled him, he didn't felt a single thing as he fell to the ground slowly, he knew it wasn't over, he barely had a couple of hours to live, enough to explain Leonid everything… poor Leonid, he still had to suffer many things
Finally… Finally
I Have Peace
Ok so, I dunno if that was sad but I actually had to hold back tears while writing this… the Purge wasn't as big as I expected, but here it is, The Truth Revealed will come soon, it will be a kinda short chapter, but everything will be explained there
Red Captain Reporting Out…
