The explosion had caused everyone's ears to be ringing, in the middle of where Flower and the Destroyer had once stood. Now stood Solstice, she looked sad and was shaking her head,
"I'm so Sorry..." She said, as the ring of Ice that was once on Flower's hand rolled over near Vince, he picked it up, he knew that they couldn't remove the rings from their hands. He realized that there where crystals scattered across the ground, he touched the one closest to him. An a memory flashed across his mind, it was of Flower playing with Luke and John. He realized what had happened, and Stopped.
"I can't believe it..." He said breathlessly, Star groaned and got up, he eyes where now two different shades of green.
"I don't remember the suit being this short..." She said, before a new voice came from her, "Well what ever the reason.. I blame you Mary, you loved the weirdo..." Stars eyes became yellow again and she held her head, "What is wrong with me?!" Spring looked surprised, and confused.
"Vince what happened?" Spring asked but Vince didn't answer, "Vince?"
"She Over loaded to save us..." Vince said breathlessly, as Spring put his hand down it touched something, and he heard himself, Vince, and Mangle all talking, Flower was laughing at them. Solstice was in the middle of all the crystals, she had fallen to her knees. She seemed to be crying, Vince gestured for them to stay where they where, and disappeared. He reappeared beside Solstice, and handed her something. Tech appeared beside him Whisp, and Insanity, Whisp stopped moving and looked at the minefield of crystals. She put her hands to her mouth, and Tech looked down and picked the one at his feet up. The Animatronics could here his voice and Flower's, Insanity stopped and picked up a purple crystal.
"I caused this..." He whispered, but Tech put his hand on Insanity's shoulder,
"Blame the demons, They caused this.. They caused all of this.." Tech told him sternly, Whisp picked her hand up and swept it across the crystals. All the crystals began to swirl into a tornado type thing, and something flew out of Star.
"Oh Thank God, I'm normal again!" She cried in relief, but the tornado of crystals stopped and they all where in a pile. Solstice stood up, and looked at the pile of crystals,
"That Cannot be all!" She cried, while she flicked her wrist, and a crystal came out of the pile. It was during a fire, William and Star where there, "This is the earliest of the ones here." Tech looked at her,
"But that Cannot be, where is the ones from her life?" He asked, and Vince had a thought come to his head.
"Wait are you suggesting that one part of Flower is still Alive somewhere?" Vince asked and Solstice nodded,
"But there is only one place for her to go." She replied, and Vince stopped dead in his tracks.
"Here... In the Mindscape.." Vince said, While Spring looked at him confused, "And we need to find it... or her... whatever..."
"Why would it matter? What would we accomplish by finding her?" Tech asked, while Vince bowed his head, "Hey are you alright?"
"No... I can't control it... And you understand what I am talking about.." Vince said lifting his head and one of his eyes where black with blood dripping out of it. Solstice paused,
"Now I understand what she was talking about..." She said aloud while Tech looked at her confused, "She and Vince work as a team to keep the demon part of him at bay... and when he is alone... It is its own being within him that can do as much damage as he did while alive..." Spring realized what she was saying, the things Flower always said that nobody but her and Vince could hear, kept Vince under control. "All of you will look for her but be careful, She doesn't know who you are or why she is here, I will stay with Vince. I want Luner to control the situation as much as he can but I doubt that will hold for long so hurry!" She told them as Vince's eyes Flashed a cream and he collapsed, Mangle took Plush with her while Spring went alone despite Mangle's protests. Maggie with Tech, Star with Insanity, and Whisp by herself.
--With Star Flower--
She looked around, Where am I? Where's Love's Diner? Why am I still alive? I died.. She began to wonder around,
"Oh wow the world is so Pretty with Colors!" She cried happily, she put her hand on the spot where William had stabbed her. As Spring saw her, she looked at him and waved but stopped, she seemed startled. Spring really didn't know what to do and all he could get out of his mouth was,
"Oh...Hey Flower..." She stopped, and looked at him as if he said something wrong.
"No one calls me that, only Star as I remember..." She looked at him and glitched, disappearing for a second and reappearing right beside him. "Funny thing is, I remember you... but the even Funnier thing is that I was blind..." She glared at him, "Who are you?!" She demanded,
"My name is Spring, I know Vince.." As soon as it left his mouth he regretted it, she began to back away.
"I don't know who you are talking about.." She took another step back as she said that,
"Do you know a William Afton?" He asked, she stopped and put her hand to her chest,
"You don't know anything.." She growled and glitched again, leaving him alone. His ears clicked back as he sighed,
"This is going to be more difficult than I thought.."
--With Insanity--
Flower appeared right in front of him and Star, she looked at him, she looked scared.
"Star Flower listen to me... Someone you care for but don't remember, is needing your help.. Please just follow me and Star..." He begged, but she looked at him in disgust, and began to back away.
"You aren't with Star... And I remember you!" She cried, and Star jumped off his shoulder.
"Flower dear... It's me... Please believe me... You promised me something do you remember what that was?" Star asked, and Flower nodded, "You Promised me that you would never forget me, no matter what form you or I took.."
"Only Star would know that... but if you are really Star... What happened the first day we Met?" Flower asked, Star shifted uncomfortably.
"I fell off my stage, onto my face... And couldn't find the kitchen.." Star replied, while Flower picked her, and hugged her. While Plush jumped out and tackling her to the ground, Flower became a dog, and smacked him off with her paws like a cat. She held Star in her mouth, she set Star down as she walked up and put her paw on Plush's chest.
"Who Are you?" She Growled, while Plush got up from under her paw. "What right do you have?! Who told you?! Did he!?" She snarled while Mangle saw what was going on and stopped, "Did He tell you to attack me?! Did he not think he did enough damage to the animals at his house?!"
"What are you talking about?! He's just a kid let him go!" Mangle shouted, while Flower looked at her,
"It didn't stop him from tearing kids apart.." She said backing away, Star looked at her.
"But you're not him!" Star yelled, and Flower looked scared,
"But what if I am? What if the next person I hurt is you?" Flower whimpered, before glitching out, and disappearing.
"Plush what where you thinking?" Mangle demanded, while Plush shuffled around.
"I'm sorry.."
--With Whisp and Tech and Maggie--
Whisp saw Flower first, She pointed her out to Tech. Flower looked scared, startled even, she was in the form of a dog. Her tail in between her hind legs, dragging her feet as she walked. Tech asked Maggie to stay with Whisp while he talked to Flower. He ran up to meet her,
"Hey Star!" He called, she looked at him, and smiled as best as a dog could smile.
"Oh.. Hey Tech.. Do you know Why I am here? And why they all keep talking about a Vince?" She asked and Tech shrugged,
"He's Henry's son... He needs your help.." He sighed and Flower was choking back laughter.
"Henry had kids?! Last I knew of him he was nine years old the same as William... Speaking of William..." She said, turning back into a human, "He's possessed, and he stabbed me... And Star accidentally set fire to the restaurant and that's the last thing I remember.." She said, she began absent mindedly putting her hand where she was stabbed, She shook her head. "What does this "Vince" need from me?" Tech cocked his head,
"What did you say to William, After he stabbed you?" Tech asked, and Flower paused,
"I told him, Not to hate himself for what happened to me, and that he was not the evil inside of him..." Flower replied, "He could be who he chose to be, and Stuff like that.."
"Well... Vince has an Issue like William... He can't control who gets hurt and who doesn't... He gets overpowered.. And I think you can help him, just follow us, But we must hurry, a different angel is watching him.. And I think she is way out of practice..." Tech said, But Flower stopped, she looked upset. She was looking at her hands, "What's wrong?"
"What If I'm becoming like Him? What if instead of helping this Vince, I hurt him? Tech, I'm so confused," Flower said she almost looked to be crying, Tech's gaze softened.
"As You put it, "You can be who you want to be.", Besides, who did I not listen to all those years ago?" Tech asked, while Flower looked at him, "Who helped me after I was a fool? I think you're a Better person than him anyways."
"What about Kaynine what will happen to him if the brother uses me instead?" She asked and Tech froze,
"What?"
"The only reason, he wanted and Impure was to use me after I died.. It wasn't for love.. It wasn't for Mercy.. It was for power.." She explained, and Tech's eyes widened, "He knew he couldn't kill me himself or his brother could kill him in my form... so he asked his most loyal demon to instead... Oh... what will I do when It is Time for him to claim his prize?.." Tech put his hand on her face,
"Well I trust you will fight... fight for what is right.. No matter how much he hurts you..." Tech said, and Flower nodded,
"Its too bad he can't really hurt me anymore... His punches, his weapons.. they don't hurt me as much.. The pain began to fade toward the end." Flower smiled, she looked at where Whisp and Maggie where standing, "Come out you two, we have someone to save!" Flower cheered, and Maggie came out, almost wanting to run and hug Flower. Flower's eyes lingered on Whisp longer, "Cousin." Whisp was surprised that even the Flower that was and acted like a 11 year old could tell who she was. Tech lead the way while Flower trailed behind him in the form of a dog, when they reached Vince and Solstice. They found Vince had Solstice pinned with his sword, Flower took one look at him and changed into a cat. ((Okay serious talk the next thing that will happen is seriously what My cat does to me everyday... No joke..)) She ran forward and wrapped herself around his legs, trying to trip him. He stumbled and fell back, she turned into a human, and was looking at him. She began to say stuff to him in their secret language, he looked startled and collapsed. She jumped back, as he fell, and a figure appeared behind her, Tech saw him and yelled.
"Star! Behind you! Run!" She turned around and came face to face with the Brother in Red, she turned into a dog and growled as he kicked her back. He became a dog as well, one Tech was way too familiar with. He pounced on Flower, trying to get his jaws around her neck, she placed her back paws, on his stomach and kicked him off. She stood back up and all the fur along her back was standing up on end. As a field of red surrounded them, blocking everyone else out. She looked around in surprise, the Red One ran at her trying to catch her off guard. She waited until he was almost upon her, she lifted her paw and swatted him aside.
"What the hell! You're a dog not a cat so start acting like one!" The Red One demanded, and Flower shook her head.
"You never said that before.." She taunted, "Besides You where never my Master, or my controller!" She growled and lunged at him, Vince sat up just as the Red One and Flower's dogfight came towards him. Flower broke off and hit the demon in the opposite direction away from Vince. The Red One looked angry, he ran and slammed into her, she hit the field and was dazed by the impact. He stepped over her, and locked his jaws around her throat, he began to fade. Tech was saying something but Vince couldn't hear him. Solstice held up her hand with the ring, and the ring disappeared and reappeared inside the field, in Vince's hand. He knew what she wanted him to do, he gripped the ring tightly in his hand, and flicked his wrist. He pulled out one of his daggers, and threw it at the demon, it found it's place in the dog's side. The Red One let go of Flower and she stood up, one of her eyes where red, while the demon was missing one of his. She turned into a human, and there where chestnut streaks in her blonde hair. She walked past the black dog, and stood by Vince. She now was the same size as him, he handed her the ring.
"Put It on. Then Solstice can help you out." He told her she paused and nodded, she waited until the Red One had recovered from Vince's attack. The she carefully without anyone realizing that, she had done it, she slipped the ring on her hand. Instantly her hands began to tingle, like an unused ability waiting anxiously to get out. He charged her, she lifted her arm, and swatted him aside.
"You have made my life a living hell, now let me thank you... By making yours one!" She yelled and picked up the black dog, she tapped her foot on the ground, and a larges crevice opened up. And she threw him into it, the ground Closed up after him as if the entire earth had just swallowed him whole. The crystals began to glow and disappeared, Flower stopped moving and froze. The Field fell and Vince looked at her, as she began to move, and her large white wings rose from her back. She smiled and launched into the air, and for once actually flew, she landed and folded them back. She looked at Vince, and he jumped back still adjusting to her new look. "You alright?"
"You look different.." Tech said, and Flower rolled her eyes,
"Like I said, I was created, as a new vessel for Him.. So in him trying to make me serve my purpose.. He changed my appearance.. but not who I am." She Smiled, and some ((looks like a vampire)) of her teeth were sharp and pointed. Whisp jumped back while Maggie ran up to her and hugged her. Flower picked her up,
"And to the child, you look no different.." Vince pointed out, and Maggie rolled her eyes,
"She looks different but I don't care..." Maggie shot back at him, and Flower rolled her eyes, as Mangle, Spring, Plush, Insanity, And Star, made their way back to the rest of the group. Spring looked at Flower in surprise, While Vince was talking about what she had done in the battle.
"Wait, Flower, Why did you turn into a dog to act like a cat?" Vince asked, while Flower changed into the dog,
"Because most don't expect it, heck even Plush Didn't." She smiled and Plush sighed,
"She's right I didn't.." Flower pleased with herself, sat down and wrapped her tail around her paws. While Mangle looked curiously at her.
"But Why did you do that? It was just tackling.." Mangle asked and Flower stopped,
"Fine you want to learn the truth?" Flower sighed, and Mangle nodded,
"The truth, If you please," Flower looked off to the left, and Sighed angrily.
"Impures, can be made as a complete accident... or With a purpose.." Flower sighed, "A purpose to host a demon, in my case, The Brother in Red.. Possessing Kaynine was only temporary until I died, He abused me, and Never let me forget what I was... Temporary... He'd hurt me if I, Laughed, cried, acted like any normal kid..." Flower closed her eyes and the mindscape changed, "I understood... Why Kaynine.. Had not wanted anything to go wrong... Why Mary Ann had died.. Why my life was hell.. being what I was, I was forced to watch dogs fights... And if I did something wrong, I would be used for practice with the fighting dogs... Muzzle included, so I used any spare time I ever had to keep myself away from the horrors that lived in the backyard... The Tree house... The cat like fighting.. One day.. someone saw me on my normal trip to Love's Diner... And Asked if I was in school.. When I answered No... Well she confronted him and he sent me to school to keep what he was doing a secret... He paid off the nurse to lie about injuries I had.." Mangle was surprised, but Flower did not stop there. "I was Blind.. So I was put into a special class... They treated me like I was a Three year old.. Heck even the scholar ghosts had more respect.. Either way all the popular kids at the school Knew him...so anything I did wrong, missed a question...and stuff like that.. Would be reported to him, and the cycle continued.. " Flower Finished as images flashed through the mindscape, someone running, someone in red chains, and two groups of people one shaking their heads, and the other stern faced and holding a stick pointing to a board. The images stopped and the mindscape became normal, while Flower became a cat and stretched. "I think we should head back to the restaurant, I have a funny feeling that someone is there." She sighed, and Tech nodded.
"You know LuLu, she's there.. Either way, that was a terrible idea and we need to leave." Tech waved and he along with Whisp and Insanity disappeared. All of the rest of them where teleported back to the restaurant.
