Enjoy!

"Ganache? What are you doing?" Marble asked as he looked at Ganache.
Ganache picked up a bag that was scattered on a floor beside the half of the helicopter.
"Picking stuff up, obviously." Ganache said as he picked up an MRE.
"Ah okay." Marble said and looked up to Thumper. "What took you so long?" Marble asked in a somewhat annoyed manner.
Thumper clenched her fist, she punched Marble downward on the head and snarled. "No, Marble. What took YOU so long? I nearly got killed!" Thumper barked.
Marble sat on the ground while holding his head in pain. "Ow, ow, ow..."
Ganache stood up and noticed Rory he looked up to him by his towering height. Rory raised a brow and looked at Ganache.
"Hey, fella." Rory greeted.
"Who the new guy?" Wart asked from behind. Mint and Wart was carrying the bloodied Adrian.
"Rory." Rory said and walked beside Wart. "Let me help." Rory offered his hand. Wart nodded and gave the place to Rory to carry Adrian.
"He was very heavy.." Wart said while strecthing his back.
"Let's move. The dead will arrive sooner or later." Mint ordered, everybody prepped up and walked instantly as where Mint go.
"By the way, I'm Thumper." Thumper introduced as she walked beside Rory.
"Rory."
"Why is your helicopter here?" Thumper asked, she's not looking at Rory but looking directly on the road.
"We are ordered to supply survivors with relief goods. Before the crash, I spoke up with Dan. You know, the Slasher Wings?" Rory explained, Thumper seemed to be more interested on the story, she moved closer to Rory.
"What did he say?" Thumper asked.
"He ordered to let you guys in but the helicopter crashed." Rory added.
"Dan.. Guess the team is in the radio center. Waiting if you guys saw us." Thumper said and sighed to herself.
"Yeah, they are.. The General is dead, by the way. He died on a field battle, saving a dozen's life or two." Rory said, Thumper looked at Rory with her eyes wide in shock.
"He's too strong to die. What happened?" Mint asked beside Adrian and Rory.
"I don't know. After the field battle, what the soldiers said was "The General is dead, they saved us. Sacrificed himself.", guess he was a good guy and not a commandive one after all." Rory said, Rory looked at Adrian and took notice at one torn-like part on his tropical shirt.
"Wait.." Rory stopped walking and laid Adrian on the ground, Mint followed however.
"What? Why?" Wart asked as he catched up with the others.
Rory unbuttoned Adrian's shirt for the sake of curiousity. There was blood and a bite mark on his chest.
"He's bit." Marble stated.
Mint sighed and stood up. "Mission failed. It's like we can still finish the mission though."
"Mission?" Rory blinked.
"I'll tell you too." Marble put his arm across Rory with a smirk, poking his cheek.
.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.
"I just don't trust them much to lend off my car without me." Mike said as he brushed off some dirt on his car's roof.
"Then I'm coming too." Goldie said from behind as he spin his fire ax.
"Bu-"
"No buts, Freddy. It's better." Goldie pointed his finger up, showing it to Freddy and swayed it left and right
"But It's too risky. Maybe I'll come.." Freddy trailed, unsure of himself.
"Well, I can come." Foxy suggested, his arms crossed. Bonnie nodded beside him.
"Or I." Goldie raised his paw, volunteering to come.
"I guess I'll take Foxy. He's more capable of it." Mike pointed at Foxy and drpped his hand after a second.
"Aww.." Goldie hung his head low.
"Because you're better here in the pizzeria, Goldie. That's why." Mike explained, Goldie cheered up at Mike's statement.
"Bring me back maple syrup. We've run out." Goldie last said and turned his back around and waled towards the pizzeria's entrance.
"I'll follow him. Wait for Kurt here, okay?" Freddy then gestured Bonnie to come with him. "Let's go Bonnie, Bon said he have a surprise to you."
"Ooooh I wonder.." Bonnie wondered as he waled beside Freddy.
Mike and Foxy watched the two walk away. Foxy held his hook and scanned it.
"Ye know? I miss ta kiddies Mike. When I was strolling around the pizzeria.. I encountered a child." Foxy started, Mike raised a brow and looked at Foxy. Mike listened intentfully.
"The lad was one o' them, though. If the lad's still alive, he be as healthy as a water buffalo." Foxy continued.
"Then?" Mike asked in curiousity, he scanned Foxy's movements and detected he was kind of sad about what happened.
"I put the lad out o' misery. Pinned 'im down and swung me hook fast." Foxy shuddered.
Mike patted Foxy's back. "It's okay, pal. You really need to do things that you need to do just to live.." Mike said.
"I wish we don't get to that." Foxy last said and sighed.
.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.
"Move your asses faster! Haul this stuff up as fast as you can!" An old guy is yelling, his beard was gray yet his muscles are bulky. He have a long beard and is bald. He is wearing sunglasses and silver earrings. He is wearing an orange down vest over a white T-shirt with matching cargo pants.
"Boss. There are dead walkers near the helicopter." A green bog turtle said, cocking her hip and crossing her arms in a sassy way. Her shell is covering most of her body, she have knee and elbow pads and a skateboard behind her, wrapped by a cloth that was wrapped around his body.
"It must be the pilots or soldiers. Get them." The boss said. The turtle nodded and immediately took off, three grunts following her. A red pig with a shotgun, a muscular male with a metal pipe with extra nails, and an average male with another shotgun.
The red pig was at very bad condition, his hands and feet are bare endoseleton, his left eye and right ear is missing. His yellow eye's ligh was faded.
The four walked away and decided to start their search.
"What are we finding again?" The muscular guy asked, inserting his pinky to his right ear cleans it with his finger.
"Military guys. Boss said we must get them." The turtle simply responded with the tone and hint of ending the conversation fast.
"Mmm.. Eh.. Okay." The guy said ignorantly and kept on cleaning his ear.
They stopped at infront of an alleyway, it was deserted and looks like it hasn't been walked through in days. The trash bin have a big dent and the the trash cans was scattered and was littering the ground
The turtle grabbed the muscular guy by the wrist and put him infront of the others. "Take the lead." the turtle stated.
"Sure, you coward." the guy chuckled and started walking, whistling and dancing in hymm.
The turtle exhaled heavily at her nose, and glared the guy's back. The three followed him.
As the four reached the middle, they stopped, feeling someone's presense.
There was clattering and a light thud. The turtle suspected it as one of the living so she yelled. "Show yourself!"
"Shut up, you slowtoise! You might attract those fuckers." The muscular guy said, readying himself and his weapon.
The turtle decided to ignore him and asked once more.
...
But there is no response.
"Whoa- wait. What the fuck?!" The muscular guy exclaimed as his pipe was knocked off him and an axe head was just a few centimeters away from his throat.
Before the other three can react, they are pinned down. The wolf was with the wall while Ganache is pointing his katana to his head.
The average guy with the shotgun was knocked out cold by Rory.
The turtle have a blade poking her throat too by Mint's shortsword.
"Names." Mint asked, danger traced his voice.
"This is all you're fucking fault, Vash." The muscular guy snarled.
"Shut the hell up." The turtle rolled her eyes.
"M- my name's Pyre.." The red pig whimpered.
"Hey, shut up or I'll beat you to bits!"
"You shut up, you asswipe!" The turtle yelled furiously.
"What did you say?!" The muscular guy said in a mocking manner.
"Johnny Asswipe." The turtle said aloud, making sure it reached his ears.
The muscular guy pushed Thumper away and advanced to her teammate in anger. Mint moved out of the way. The guy clenhed his fist and raised it.
As the muscular guy, Johnny was near, ready to punch., the turtle, Vash, pulled her pistol up and shot Johnny to the head without doubt.
"Holy shit.." Pyre cursed to himself and winced with the sight of his dead teammate.
"Oh no." Thumper said as walkers started showing up on the left end of the alleyway. Completely covering the exit to Marble, Wart and Adrian.
"Let's move, now." Mint ordered and everybody agreed, leaving Pyre, Vash and the unconcious guy. They approach the right side of the alleyway.
"Hey, you can't leave us!" Vash called out
Ganache stopped in his tracks. "She's right, we can't just abandon them!"
Just before Mint speaks, there was loud gunshots on the other end of the alleyway. Mint ignores it for the task at hand.
"Rory, get the guy. We'll cover the exit, Ganache, come with me." Mint then turned around and reached the exit.
Thumper, Mint and Ganache did as what Mint said, killing those who near them.
Rory picked the guy up, Pyre used his shotgun to ward off the dead. Vash used her pistol too.
They started running, Rory carrying the guy on his shoulders. Vash kept shooting, standing still, making her accuracy precise.
"You better not waste ammunition." Rory said as he eyed her.
Vash nodded and lowered her gun after two more shots
They started running, but after 10 seconds, Rory tripped. Rory tried to push the guy away but he can't.
"Wait, what the hell?" Pyre exclaimed, looking at Rory in confusion.
"He's heavy!" Rory said with a grunt, trying to push the guy away.
"But we can't leave him!" Vash reasoned, pulling her gun up and started shooting deadheads.
"Try to get out, lion. We must drag him.." Rascal stated, also started helping Vash.
Rory tried but he can't. His legs are under the guy, Rory was just practically scraping the ground.
"No, Gartney!" Vash suddenly exclaimed and shot something that was behind Rory and the guy.
"No, shit, shit! Don't eat him!" Pyre said in horror and kept shooting the dead with his endo hand gripping the shotgun thightly.
Rory struggles to escape more. One of his legs are now free, he pushed himself forward with all his might.
"Shit! I'm out!" Pyre exclaimed as he heard a click and as well as Vash.
"Shit.." Vash cursed. She moved infront of Rory and held her arm out.
"I can still save you! C'mon, fast!" Vash yelled, tears streamed her face.
Rory took her hand and she pulled him out with her full strenght. Rascal helped by warding the walkers with his shotgun's stock.
Rory was free at last, just in time before they are swarmed. They escaped fast, adrenaline giving them extra speed.
As the three exited, Mint and the others followed them.
.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.
"I thought you'll never come." Mike said as looked at the group, all of them is there.
"But we came." The husky smirked.
"I'm coming with you along with Foxy." Mike said directly.
"No, wait.. We didn't talk about you coming." Kurt told with a straight face.
"Lad, we can't guarantee tat ye will give it back." Foxy butted in, his arms crossed and is leaning to the car.
"I think it was okay, two of us and two of them. That's fair." the fox beside Kurt said his opinion.
"Then who will come with me?" Kurt asked his teammates, looking at the three of them. Silence followed after.
"Moon? Ronan? Jet?" Kurt asked again.
"I will, I guess." Jet volunteered and held his crowbar closer to him.
"Then it was settled. Let's go." Mike butted.
"Yeah, where will we stay?" Moon asked.
"Inside Fazbears, just knock." Mike said as he entered the car and sat on the driver's seat.
Foxy sat beside Mike's seat and the last two behind. Mike opened the gas tank for Moon to pour their gas in. The tank was half-full.
"Half-full.. This can last for a day. Only a day." Mike stated, Kurt and Jet just nodded.
Moon gave a thumbs up and Mike drove away with haste.
.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.
"Shh, shh. Keep yer voices down." Foxy said as they crouched and watch some people, a bit away from the crash. They have a cargo truck with them and cuffed animatronics was pushed inside.
"I don't like this.." Kurt trailed.
"What'll we do? They might've got into the crash already. They looted it for sure.." Jet facted out.
"He's right, let's go back." Mike said as he turned around but Foxy pulled him back when he noticed a familiar face just a block away. Sneaking from corner to corner.
"Look, Mike. That be ta scallywag that pointed a gun to yer face yesterday." Foxy pointed his hook the sneaking marble fox and raccoon.
"Then he's one of your enemies?" Kurt asked, watching the two animatronics jump at the truck's tail end as it drive off away.
"I guess." Mike said as he stood up and made a walk for his car.
"I don' care about them bildge rats." Foxy said as he followed Mike.
"You know what? Let's make the best stuff in here. We are beside a store. Let's see what's inside. Than leave." Kurt suggested, Foxy and Mike stopped on their tracks and looked at Kurt.
"You're right, let's fill my trunk with stuff." Mike whistled and fiddled with his keys, spinning it with his finger then catching it.
.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.
The truck have exited the city itself, most of the towering buildings are gone by the view. The sun is high, proud that he was very far of the contagious nanobots that has conquered the world in a blink.
"Stop it, goddamit. You're not thinking straight." Wart scolded as he confiscated Marble's shotgun-revolver.
"If you shot the locks, they will hear it and ho- we're dead." Wart explained.
"Wart, Marble. Kick the locks." Mint said on the other side.
Marble and Wart did what he wished, they gripped on what they can grip on and kick the locks bashfully. Mint is also kicking the door on the other side. More kicks have heard on the other side.
Marble have successfully broke the lock with his last kick, and with the other side's brute force, the doors swung open. Marble and Wart was clinging for their safety. The driver of the truck noticed Wart.
"Shit, shit, shit!" Wart frustatingly exclaimed.
"Mint, can you pull either one of us?!" Marble asked loudly.
"We can't." Thumper replied.
The truck is slowing down and another Arctic Fox took notice of it.
"We're slowing down, guys." The Fox said and later, he jumped.
Marble and Wart found out that the Fox have a plastic straps (those that you need to cut off) at his wrists. Mint, Thumper, Rory, Ganache, a Snow Leopard and another Arctic Fox jumped off the truck. Wart and Marble let go of the truck and started running towards a forest nearby.
Marble and Wart followed the other animatronics with Mint's lead.
After a few minutes of running, they stopped to check if they are followed.
"Th-they.. Didn't follow us. Good." A female arcic fox said as she leaned on a tree.
"Who are those guys?" Marble asked as he leaned to a tree and slid down to sit down, panting lightly.
"Whoever those guys are, they must've been the bad guys. Their leader are nuts." The Arctic Fox stranger said, extendng his arm infront of Marble.
Marble took the paw and the Fox helped him stand up.
"Fang. The lady's Amber. The Cat's Solar." Fang shook Marble's hand in an iron grip.
Marble desperately tried to let his paw free as his eyes get watery.
"Cat?" Solar asked behind him and threw a stone to Fang and hit him square in the head.
"Agh, dammit." Fang said as he rubbed the place where the stone was thrown at his head.
"They took our weapons, everything that we have." Thumper reminded, everybody looked at themselves. They're unarmed.
"Bad luck." Amber said as he stood up.
"I lost my bag" Rory started.
"And my tomahawks." Thumper added.
"And our weapons, and food. And more stuff." Solar said their behalf.
"Then let's get them back." Wart said like it was simple.
"They are heavily armed. We can't just bust in and grab our stuff." Thumper facted out.
"Then what?" Marble asked for suggestions. Silenced followed afterward.
"We sneak in. In two groups." Mint spoke up. Everybody liked the idea.
"That's good, but how?" Ganache asked Mint and everybody looked at him.
"We recon first. Scout the area for any possible entrances. But first, we need to catch up with the truck and find their quarters." Mint then started walking. "It's noon so lets just hope that they're near. We have more advantage when it's dark."
"The kid's right. Let's start walking." Fang said and started walking, the other seven animatronics followed.
