Alright, so, there are going to be longer chapters, which means, longer waits. However, these chapters will be better in quality than the other ones (in my opinion). I'm going to be focusing on mainly three characters. These three will be their own fellowship, Destin, Veronica, and Whirlpool. I'm sorry if you wanted to see more of another character, if you want, I can give them short, side chapters if you request them. Anyways, onto this chapter!
Chapter Eight
I blocked another attack from Bloodlust. I was losing blood, fast. I pushed up against his claws and scratched his face.
"Destin!" I hear from across the parking lot. I block another attack before turning around, jumping, catching something in my hands, and smacking whatever I received across Bloodlust's face. I then realized that what I had in my hands was some sort of high tech energy bow. I pulled back the string as Bloodlust got back. An energy arrow appeared. Bloodlust started to lunge at me. I let go of the arrow, the arrow hit Bloodlust, and right before my eyes, Bloodlust fell to the ground, dead. I looked at the hole in his head before turning to the battle field. All the minions disappeared, and thankfully, there were no deaths, however, injuries needed to be treated. I sighed in relief, knowing that for now, there was peace.
"Thank you, Whirlpool" I said, walking over to her and the others new animatronics behind her.
"Well, I'll admit, it wasn't just me" She said, gesturing to the new animatronics.
"Why, hello there" I said, holding out my hand.
"Really?" The one with a clown face and wires said.
"What?"
"You're not, scared, disgusted?"
"Nope, I think you all are quite cool, unique. Haven't seen any animatronics quite like you lot" I chuckled.
"Ennard, don't be rude" The tall animatronic scolded.
"Fine, I'm Ennard, but you already knew that" Ennard said, crossing his arms.
"It's nice to meet you, Ennard" I said, shaking his wires (I'm laughing at that sentence, lol).
"My name is Baby, sorry for his rudeness" The tall, clown said, apologizing.
"Hello Baby, it's quite alright" I said, smiling.
"My name is Ballora, it's is nice to meet you" The blue ballerina said.
"Hello Ballora, the pleasure's all mine" I said. I then turned my attention to Spring, who was looking a little worse for wear.
"Spring, I'm putting you in charge of repairs, I'm going to call, my…father" I said, walking past Veronica and Spring. I continued on until I reached a phone, which was in father's office. I dialed his number and waited for him to pick up.
"Hello? This is William Afton speaking"
"Hello father, everything's fine here, the city's safe" I said through the phone.
"Oh, Destin! I never said how amazing it was to see my son again!"
"Um, thanks, but, I've got some cleaning up to do around here, so, I have to go"
"Alright, I'll see you soon, bye!"
"Bye" I hung up and walked out into the main room of the pizzeria. I sat down and waited, thinking.
"So, I'm confused, why did Crescent lie about that stats?" I turned my attention to the faz gang, Whirlpool, and Veronica.
"So, no-one would get the correct information" I replied. "But, I have a feeling, that this is only the beginning" I said, looking to the outside.
"What do you mean?"
"I don't know, maybe I'm wrong, let's just get all the animatronics back to their home pizzerias, then we'll figure things out" I said, looking at the damage to the pizzeria. I shook my head, stood up, and got to work.
I didn't know what to do, it's been three years since the fight at the pizzeria. I was in the middle of doing some research on my computer, needing information.
"Alright, Elizabeth, Father, Veronica, and I are accounted for. Ben disappeared after the coma he went through. Michael and mother aren't accounted for, they disappeared. So, that leaves the question: where are the other three Afton's?" I mumbled.
"Still researching?" I heard a voice say.
"Yes, Mangle, I need to know where the other three went, it's obvious something happened to this family, but what?" I replied. "I know of some major events, the bite, the claw, and Veronica's and I's transformation. Elizabeth's energy was transported into Baby when the claw struck out, the claw seemed to just replace her energy, because there was no blood, no mucus, no evidence of death, just a disappearance. Ben's event was an accident, no death, no energy replacement. According to father's journal, Ben and disappeared as soon as he woke up. Michael disappeared a few days into Ben's coma, I disappeared roughly between Elizabeth's and Michael's disappearance. Which leaves the last disappearance, Mrs. Afton" I said, chewing on my tail.
"Maybe you should go and look somewhere other than Tennessee, maybe not even in the states" Mangle offered, sounding like she knew something that I didn't.
"And where do you expect I look?" I asked.
"I don't know, Canada, the Appalachian Mountains, maybe even the Caribbean or Hawaii"
"Some of those are U.S. territory" I sarcastically said.
"Just a suggestion~" She sung as she walked back down the hall. "Maybe Mike can see what you can't~" I sighed and turned off the laptop. I walked out of the pizzeria, waving goodbye as I left, and got in my car. I set a route to Mike's house and started driving.
I got out of the car and knocked on Mike's door. It took a minute, since it was 10:00 PM, and soon Mike opened the door.
"Hm? Wasn't expecting anyone to be here tonight" Mike said, letting me in.
"Yeah, well, Mangs' said something the confused me" I told him.
"And what is it?"
"Well, I was trying to find out what happened to the rest of the fam, when, Mangle comes in and says: 'Maybe Mike can see what you can't'" I said, crossing my arms.
"Well, maybe she's right, type in what you typed in before she arrived" He said. I borrowed his laptop and typed in the search bar: Fredbear's Family Diner. He observed the page before clicking on the images feature.
"Maybe, you weren't looking in the right place" He said, pointing to a picture of the remains of the diner, a picture taken by a modern camera.
"Woah, she was right" I said, clicking on the image. I brightened the image and saw a triangle of three shapes. A puppet's mask, waves, and a dragon.
"What do you make of this?" I asked.
"Hm, the mask has to be Veronica, the dragon is you, and the waves could be…what did Baby tell you about when they saw Crescent?"
"Something about three people" I replied.
"That could be Whirlpool, considering there's a swirly circle under the waves" He said. "Now, Fredbear's closed in 1990, this picture is not only taken from a modern camera, but also from under a tree with, seven branches, seven family members, seven of the current Faz gang"
"Mike, I believe we've struck actual information"
I had just grabbed Veronica and told all the Afton's to meet at Fazbear's. I hurried in to find the Faz gang, the other Afton's, and Mike and Jeremy. I briefed them on what Mike and I found, and asked father is he had a data base of all the animatronics.
"I do, here's the file for all them in existence" I went through the files, never actually finding Mangle in the files...I clicked the last file, dubbed, the Freddy Files. I went into it, finding Whirlpool at the bottom. I clicked on her and saw where her pizzeria was. Texas.
"Why are we doing this?!" Veronica yelled over the wind, I had gotten a motorcycle and was going 70 over the speed limit on the highway, well, not really on the highway, more like, on the dirt road all along the highway.
"Because! Don't you want to know where the other Afton's are! Besides! Whirlpool's pizzeria is on the way to the first Fredbear's!" I yelled.
"No! I meant why are we going 70 over and not going on a plane!"
"Who says they'd even let us on the plane! And you're right!"
"Right about what?!"
"About going 70 over! We need to go faster if we want to make good time!" So, with the tricked-out bike, I sped up to over 90 miles over.
"Aaaaahhhhh!" Veronica screamed. I grinned and continued to speed along the dirt road.
"Never, ever, do that again" Veronica said, rubbing her head.
"Aw, it wasn't that bad" I smirked.
"Well you know what?"
"Hm?"
"You can't fit three people on that bike, beat that" I thought about this as we walked to the sliding glass doors.
"Yeah I can" I smirked.
"Mhm, how so?" I was about to knock on the door.
"Because, now, I can fly" I smirked, knocking on the left door. I had to knock a few times, when that didn't work, I went to one of the security cameras (they had to have a security guard). I started to jump up and down repeatedly, waving my arms. It wasn't more than two minutes before I heard the doors open.
"You could've just knocked" I heard Mako's voice say as we walked to the doors. Mako had her hands on her hips.
"I did, seven times to be exact" I smirked, mimicking her pose. She rolled her eyes before wrapping us both in a hug.
"So, what brings you two here?"
"We'll tell you inside" Veronica replied. We walked in and I was literally thrown off my feet as someone tackled me.
"Destin! How long has it been?" I got up and laughed as I saw who tackled me. Whirlpool had let go of the hug and was standing beside me.
"Three years, it's been quite a while" I replied, getting over my laughter.
"I see you still have that bow attached to your back" She observed.
"What can I say? I might need to fight another marshmallow" I said, laughing.
"So, if I recall, you were the only two from your pizzeria who came to the beacon, correct?" Veronica asked.
"Yeah, we left the others here, we didn't want them to get hurt" Mako explained.
"Ah, makes sense" I said as we continued to the main party room.
"Everyone! We have a special surprise!" Whirlpool yelled excitedly. I watched as several very different kinds of animatronics walked into the room.
There was a pink female cheetah with black boots, black sweatpants, a blue jacket, and bright blue hair, she had bright blue eyes. The next one was a male eagle, yellow shoes and pants, brown shirt, and black hat, as well as yellow eyes. The last one was a golden…pterodactyl? Gray skin, black shoes, dark gray pants, purple wings, dark blue shirt, purple hair, and purple eyes. However, when the night guard walked in, I was shocked.
"Ben?!" I asked, shocked, as I stepped back.
"You know Ben?" Mako asked, tilting her head.
"Do we know him? He's our brother!" Veronica told her, wavering around, holding her head.
"Sis? Bro? How'd you end up here?" He asked, equally confused.
"So, this is the animatronic you were so excited about after meeting?" Aero asked, the eagle.
"Yes, he took initiative when in a time of crisis" Mako responded.
"Yeah! He was very, interesting, the way he taught. He knew how to make weapons with any kind of material, and he taught us how to fight!" Whirlpool exclaimed.
"So, let's go over this, how did you two end up here?" Ben asked.
"So, after the battle, I wanted to see where you, Michael, and mother went, since I, Veronica, father, and Elizabeth were all accounted for. After three years of searching, I came up dry, nothing. So, when Mangle walked into the office the other night, she said: maybe Mike can see something you cannot. So, I drove over to Mike's house, he pulled up the images and we went from there. We found out the location of the original Fredbear's and your pizzeria was on the way there, so, we decided to stop by"
"Yeah, and you drove 90 miles over the speed limit" Veronica smirked, catching the detail.
"Eh, details" I said, waving it off.
"I knew you were crazy, but really? 90 over?" Mako asked, rolling her optics.
"Well, ok, we actually stopped by because of something we found in the image itself. A puppet mask, a dragon, and waves with a swirly circle under it"
"Wow, heh, crazy coincidence, right?" Excel said, the cheetah.
"I don't think so" Ace replied, the pterodactyl.
"That's what we thought, so, we drove here, hoping to find some results, and we did" I said, smiling at Ben.
"Wait, so, where'd you go after you woke up?" Veronica asked, wanting some clarification.
"Well, to be honest, I don't really know. I looked out the window, and when I looked to my right, what I saw there seemed impossible, someone was in my room, and some-how I didn't hear them get in. They morphed into my nightmares, calling himself Nightmare. He closed in on me, I had nothing to protect myself, then, I see a black blur come in, shattering the window, and plunge a sword into his chest. The blur then took off into the night, all I saw was that he had purple eyes. Suddenly, I was found myself here, I've been here ever since"
"Huh, you know who that sounds like?" I asked.
"Who?" Mako asked.
"Crescent" Whirlpool, Veronica, and I said at the same time.
"I'm sorry, who?" Mako asked.
"Did someone call my name?" I hear a zap and see a green light before Crescent tumbled out and fell on the floor.
"Do you have a habit of doing this?" I asked.
"Yes, actually, I've already done this to Rain a few times" He said, dusting himself off.
"Actually, I want to know something, how many places have you been?" Whirlpool asked.
"Well, I'm a dimension jumper, I've been many places, but, I can tell you the main ones" He offered.
"Actually, know I'm intrigued, please do tell" I said.
"Well, the first place I ever went to was a place call Phyrria, two months after that, I went to a place called the Pokémon world. That was interesting, I didn't spend all that much time there, then I went and participated in an eons old war between giant robots, I'll probably go back there, heard they were coming to earth. Then, I came here, made the fake message, then came back. I have my sights set on two other places though" He said, recalling the adventures.
"How many dimension jumpers are there?" Veronica asked.
"There's one in each world, the one here is named Zeke. I'm the one from my world, obviously, the one in the Pokémon universe is called, I think, Golden? He's way more powerful than I am. Then, I don't really know the dude in the other two universes I'm about to visit" He said, shrugging.
"So, what are you even doing here in the first place?" Whirlpool asked.
"Oh, that, mainly to tell you that something horrible is about to happen" He said casually.
"Oh, what is it?" I asked.
"Hm, some place called: Fazbear's Fright, they're building it just down 10 miles North of here, isn't that where you're heading?" He asked.
"Yes, the old restaurant, they must be turning it into a haunted house or something" I told him.
"Yes, well, Fazbear entertainment decided to, change the designs up a bit, you might want to check it out as soon as they're finished building it, someone could get hurt, or worse, killed" He said ominously. We all looked at Crescent, shocked at the new information.
"This, changes, everything" Veronica said, looking at Ben, Whirlpool, and I.
"So, when do we start?" I asked, after standing up, full of determination.
"You should go and check out the woods by Fazbear's Fright, you might find something there" He said, he then winked, and disappearing through a portal.
"Well, who's coming with?" I asked, clapping my hands together.
"I'm in" Whirlpool said.
"I think I'll stay here" Ben said, contemplating.
"I think I will as well, after all, you didn't even bring a car, did you?" Mako said.
"Eh, details" I said, waving the comment off. I then walked outside, the other two followed.
"So, how's this going to work?" Whirlpool asked.
"Simple, you and Veronica can take the bike, I'll fly" I said, grinning.
"How do you suggest you do that?" Whirlpool retaliated.
"Well, I have a lot of spare time, so, I put jet engines accustomed to the size of both my body and my wings, on my wings" I replied, smirking as I heated up the engines on my wings. There was a bright blue glow of blue flames as I took off into the sky. The trip there was pretty mundane, nothing really important, just cars, roads, and trees. That's it. I landed in front of the building, and waited. There wasn't really anything to do, like, at all.
"At least we weren't going 90 over" I heard Veronica's voice say.
"Yeah, I guess I'm just not used to riding in a vehicle" I heard Whirlpool's voice say.
"So, what do you two think we should do first?" I asked them.
"I don't know, the forest looks a little ominous" Veronica observed.
"Well, what else do you suggest we do?"
"I don't know, something else" She replied.
"Come on, let's go, it can't be that bad" Whirlpool stated, rolling her eyes. So, we ended up trekking through the forest, unaware of what was off the path.
"So, why are we going off the path?" Veronica asked, a little on edge.
"Don't you know? Anything worth finding must be worked for" I replied, pushing past a branch.
"I can't help but feel like there's, something else here" Whirlpool stated.
"It's a roll of the dice" I replied.
"I don't know, I'm still living in a nightmare" Veronica stated. We continued to look around the brush until Whirlpool found something. I was currently inspecting a tree when I heard Whirlpool's voice.
"Hey! There's a metal trapdoor under this bush!" She exclaimed. Veronica and I walked over, inspecting the metal plate.
"Hmm" I contemplated.
"What do you think is under it?" Veronica asked.
"Could be anything" Whirlpool stated.
"Well, then let's go" Veronica said, making a fake laugh.
"No, no, come on, let's see what's under it" I told them, lifting up the metal plate. I didn't really have any source of light, so, instead I pulled back an energy arrow and let that be our source of light. We crouched and walked along the small tunnel. We continued this for maybe, two minutes? Maybe? I don't know, but, it didn't take to terribly long to reach the larger room.
"Hey, there's some sort of tank over here" I observed.
"I'll go find a switch" Whirlpool told us. I nodded and observed the tank.
"I think something's in there" Veronica told me.
"Undoubtedly" I responded. I walked around the tank before a light came on.
"Eek!" Veronica yelped, for inside, was a skeleton.
"That's, not disturbing at all" Whirlpool sarcastically remarked.
"I'm pretty sure it's not alive as of the moment, however, it looks like it was made to be a living skeleton. It could wake up any moment now" I replied.
"Come on, let's explore the rest of this weird, lab" Whirlpool suggested. I shook the feeling of paranoia off and walked around the room.
"Hm, red, yellow, blue, and green buttons, wonder what they do?" I asked myself.
"Should we press one?" Veronica asked.
"No choice, we must" I responded, not turning towards her. I carefully observed the buttons, before realizing something.
"What worlds did Crescent visit?" I asked.
"I think, Cybertron? Pokemon? Earth? And a few other places" Whirlpool said, shrugging.
"Wait, we have a video game called pokemon, urg, what's the main character's name!?" I asked myself. Yellow, red, blue, and green. Four different colors, four different games.
Wait a second, they're all the right choice. I thought.
"They're all the right button" I realized. I just had to go in the order I believed they were in.
"Let's see, Red, legendary trainer. Green, amazing trainer. Yellow, dependable trainer. And blue, a jerk" I said, pressing each respective button in order.
"How'd you know?" Whirlpool asked as a portal appeared.
"Red's the legendary trainer, the first one had to be him. Green was next in line, Yellow followed, who in the manga was said to battle with Mewtwo in dire circumstances. Then Blue, just a plain jerk" I responded, recalling the various pokemon I had played and read.
"So, do we step through it, the portal?" Veronica asked. I heard class cracking and looked at the tank.
"I'm afraid we have no other choice" I responded, and we bolted into the portal.
Alright, so, what'd you think? It was longer, but, not exactly ten pages. Hopefully we'll get to an average of ten pages later on. Anyways, remember to, um, I don't really have anything this time…Um, remember to go out, get on Amazon, buy a color Gameboy, get pokemon fire red, and play on! P.S. I bet not many of you haven't heard of the pokemon manga, in fact, I've only read a few pages of it. Bye!
