- FlameSpeed

Fun Fact: Flame, Mech, Talia, & Sylvia are right handed. Swift & Toy Flame are left handed.

[Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria]

Flame was alone on the Old Show Stage, thinking to himself. Flame was still upset about something. Ever since he's heard that 'The Tank' is in the Phantom Realm, he has been on edge. It bothered him that 'The Tank' was back as well, and even stronger than ever.

"Damn it all…"Flame said as he punched the wall with his fist. He punched straight through the wall, and he saw the old backstage room through the hole. He saw the spare parts they kept in there from time to time, and noitices there was a couple parts to their family. Flame frowned, knowing it was pointless to think they had a chance.

"Without that lighter, we can't bring none of them back…" Flame said to himself as he looked away. In front of Flame, Exo & Mangle were there.

"Is everything alright?" Exo asked.

"Yea, we all heard you all the way from the safe room." Mangle added. Flame signed, and looked down to the ground.

"No, I'm not alright." Flame told them. Exo and Mangle took a quick glance at each other, and looked back towards Flame.

"Look I know things look grim, but we can't let that put us down Flame." Exo replied.

"What's the point? Sure we do have someone fixing the lighter, but what are the odds that we'd get the lighter back? Face it, we've got no chance against Clyde." Flame said. Mangle frowned, and tilted her head slightly to the side.

"Flame…. This isn't like you at all…." Mangle said.

"Yeah, you never just give up like that…" Exo added on. Flame stared right at them, with his eyes being red.

"We can't win, we're gonna lose our family, I-I'm gonna…" Flame said, his voice becoming shakier.

"You're gonna what Flame?" Mangle asked.

"S-Swift…." Flame whispered quietly as his lips quivered.

"Flame…" Exo said, bringing his hand up to Flame's shoulder. Flame violently pushed it away, looking down as a teardrop fell from his snout.

"Don't you get it!? That Phantom Exo said we've only got a week! It's been 2 days! It's almost the end of the 3rd day, and we… we can't find her… we've found a lot of the others but…" Flame said as he turned quickly, clentching his hand into a fist, "I want Clyde dead damn it! I want that f***er dead!" Flame snapped as he started punching the wall again. Exo and Mangle stared at each other, worry in their eyes.

"I've never seen him like this…." Exo said.

"He's lost all hope… his morale is gone…" Mangle said.

"There's gotta be a way to bring it back up right?" Exo asked. Mangle sighed, looking towards Flame. Flame stopped punch at the wall, and was bawling, sitting on the ground hopelessly.

"It's too late for him… the only way to even get a tiny sliver of hope to come through him is to find Swift's parts…" Mangle said.

"But she's the only one we haven't found a single part for yet…." Exo said disheartenedly. Mangle stood on the edge of the stage, her feet hanging off the edge.

"Think, we've got to find some way to find her parts, right?" Mangle asked.

"Right, but how?" Exo replied.

"Lets try something, where'd we find the parts for Mech?" Mangle asked.

"Well one of the parts were in the office." Exo said.

"And?" Mangle continued.

"Uh, we found another in the Employee's Lounge." Exo added.

"I got the 3rd part under one of the Show Stage tables." Mangle finished. Exo and Mangle thought for am moment, but to no avail.

"What does any of this have in common?" Exo said puzzled.

"Hey Flame, what did that Phantom Exo say to Jeremy?" Mangle asked. Flame looked towards them, some tears still dropping down his face and snout.

"The more you find, the easier it gets. Why?" Flame asked.

"The more you find the easier it gets…." Mangle repeated to herself.

"The more you find… wait a second…" Exo said.

"W-what is it?" Flame asked, his ears perking up.

"Mech's parts were in the office, Employee's Lounge, and the Show Stage Area…" Exo recited.

"Wait a second… those places are where Mech spent the most time at!" Flame exclaimed.

"What are you saying then?" Mangle asked.

"Hang on, lemme check if my suspicions are correct…." Flame said. Flame looked down, stroking the bottom of his snout. Exo and Mangle looked at each other, then back at Flame.

"We found Exo at the 2nd Party Room, the New Security Office, and the Old Shoe Stage." Flame said to them.

"I spend the most time at those places..." Exo said in shock.

"We've figured it out!" Mangle exclaimed.

"Not quite Mangle, this could just be a coincidence, I need to prove this is right." Flame said.

"So, try finding the locations Swift is mostly at?" Exo said.

"I'm way ahead of you buddy!" Flame exclaimed as he dashed towards the Parts & Service room.

Mangle looked at Exo, with a smile on her face. "I think we gave him his hopes back."

"Yeah no doubt, " Exo replied, "Should we follow him?"

"Of course! Why wouldn't we?" Mangle said.

Exo and Mangle followed Flame into the Parts & Service room. Once they entered, they saw Flame vigorously searching.

"She's gotta be here…." Flame said to himself.

"Hey, what are ye doing?" Foxy asked.

Foxy was chained to the wall tightly as his punishment. He was tightened so hard, that he was getting slightly crushed from the chains. Flame ignored Foxy, and continued to search. He took out a box, and opened it.

"Oh my god…." Flame said as his eyes widened with glee.

"What is it?" Exo asked.

"Swift!" Flame exclaimed happily as he showed Swift's head. He hugged it tightly, and smiled.

"I don't know if that's heartwarming or creepy…." Mangle said.

"Hey, why's Swift in this room a lot anyways?" Exo questioned. Foxy had a grin on his face, and he was about to speak.

"Oh ye want tah know? Because Flame and Swift usually comes in here tah f-" Foxy was saying, before Flame punched Foxy's snout, slightly cracking it.

"Shut it fox." Flame said slightly angry.

"So, where's the next location?" Exo asked.

"The Employee's Lounge, but this spot is very unusual in there." Flame said as he dashed out towards the Lounge. Exo slightly grinned, and shook his head, "Man he's got a lot of energy when it comes to this."

"But yet he can't even clean the oven." Mangle added on. They both continued to follow Flame.

Flame ran past them, and yelled to them while he ran, "Already found the part! Now to the New Security Office!"

"Geeze he has to calm down a bit…" Mangle said as she caught her breath.

"Yeah… like chill…" Exo said, Ali's catching his breath. They spent a could minutes cooling down, and began to head towards the Employee's Lounge. Flame met them halfway, a slight frown on his face.

"Man you guys are slow." Flame said mockingly.

"Good to have you back." Exo said, somewhat annoyed.

"Ha, I'd do without your cockyness." Mangle said.

"What are you gonna do? It's just me being me!" Flame exclaimed.

So Flame's spirit has been lifted from being absolutely garbage. Will they be able to regain the phantom lighter from Sara? Or will Clyde get in the way? We won't find out until the next chapter! I guys enjoyed this chapter. Don't forget to leave reviews!
