Laying on the ground against the back of the storage room, was the rabbit animatronic Saphira had grown to enjoy having around as a friend. His endo was twitching and sparking, a lot of his casing was removed from his body, mainly his limbs, chest, ears and jaw. His eyes twitch and turn towards her, and Saphira stared back at him in shock.
"S-S-Sa-ph-ph-ira," Came the twitchy, staticy voice from Bonnie. He sounded so weak and in pain. "Y-Y-You c-c-came."
"Of course I did!" Saphira explained, running over and skidding to his side. "I am right here Bonnie…" She placed her hand into Bonnie's hand, even though the casing was gone and his claws were bare, she did not flinch at them. She lifts her wrist. "Monty! Freddy! I've found Bonnie!"
"W-W-Watch out!"
Saphira turned her head and widened her eyes as she saw the black, rabbit, clown suit standing at the doorway. His eyes glow red, he tilts his head slightly as he gazed at both Bonnie and Saphira. In his hand though was a sledge hammer, the end of it was resting on the ground while the lunatic held the handle. Saphira stood up and clenched her fists, glaring at him.
"How lovely, a family reunion!" The lunatic laughs in a sinister tone. "It was so much fun taking Bonnie apart, piece by piece!" Saphira had no idea what happened, but this man hurt Bonnie. However, she noticed drops of blood dripping down his back, Bonnie must have managed to swipe him. "Now, be a good little girl and come with me, or I finish the job!"
Saphira glanced at Bonnie, his head twitched while he tried to shake his head. But Dave was way too close with that hammer. She couldn't risk Bonnie being destroyed even further to the point of permanent deactivation.
She took a deep breath. "Fine…I will come with you…Dave…" Saphira walked towards him with her hands clenched, glaring at him. "Let us go shall we?"
She hears his high pitch laughter and he claps victoriously. "Excellent! I won, I won!" He danced around and pulled the hammer along behind him before grabbed Saphira's arm, she grimaced feeling the claws in the fingers. "Let's not keep my master waiting!"
"N-N-No!" Bonnie managed to yell, she heard him trying to stand up to stop him.
She felt sorry for Bonnie, she knew with how much of a mess the bowling alley was, there was a fight. Bonnie must have put up a good fight. She walked away from Bonnie, she felt Dave tapping his fingers on her like he was listening to music, and the way he dance walked, swaying his head from side-to-side really freaked her out. However, she was watching her distance from Bonnie.
"You only had to let them bring you to me last night! I would not have done this!" Dave said, chuckling coldly as he continued to prance along. "Pour Bon Bon wouldn't have had to suffer!"
Is he really trying to blame me? Hell no!
Saphira elbows his ribs suddenly, making him shriek in pain and she grabbed his arm, pulling him to throw him over her onto the ground. "You like pain?!" Saphira growled, glaring at the man writhing on the floor. "I can bring the pain to you!" She stomped on his right shoulder, causing Dave to scream and claw at her leg.
She jumped back as the claws of the suit scratch her skin. She holds up her hands as the man slowly stands from where he was laying. "So…this is how you're going to play huh?" Dave chuckled coldly, brushing down his suit like nothing happened. "Okay than." He slips a long, thick knife from a pocket in the suit, rotating it in his hand to use on her. "The master won't care if you get a few holes in you! Ha, ha, ha!"
"If that is the case, your master won't mind if you are broken!" Saphira shouted back, running at him and jumping at him, kicking at his head, making the man shriek in surprise. He did not know about Saphira's self defence, and she was using it against him. She lands a successful hit, causing him to fall back, but he reaches his hands back, placing them on the ground and kicking up his own legs. Saphira jumped away from them. "Nice try! You are a horrible clown!"
Dave growled and jumped to his feet, crouching slightly with his knife ready. "I'm going to get you bitch!"
"You had your chance in the utility tunnels!" Saphira snapped back, the man growled again, hearing him growling instead of laughing was like music to her ears.
He ran at her and she smiled before twirling her body away from the path and placing her hands on the ground, swinging her feet to knock him to the ground again. She got back up and cartwheels towards him, grabbing his right leg and pulling it hard as she propels her body to land upright. She smiled hearing the sound of the thigh ligament popping from it's socket, making the man scream in agony and clutch his thigh.
She tilts her head at him with a smile. "You don't fight martial arts by dancing freak!"
Dave growled, and to her surprise, he slowly got back onto his feet. He stumbled slightly, but she was shocked he would even try to fight her in this condition. "I guess not…but I can try!"
Dave lunged at her, Saphira moved to back away, only to nearly fall backwards over a bowling ball rack. He grabbed her shirt and pulled her, throwing her into a seat of chairs by a table. Saphira screamed as her side hits the corner of the table and felt behind the chairs. She groaned, holding her side, looking up as Dave limped towards her with the knife ready. She looked towards the roller door when she heard the loud sound of thumping, she smiled as she knew it was the animatronics coming to get her.
Dave laughed loudly suddenly and grabbed her ponytail, yanking her out from under the table. "Distractions, distractions…it is always them that make one weak!" Saphira kicked out at him, attempting to kick his leg. "Ha, ha, ha! No thanks!"
The roller door begins to roll up just as Saphira is throwned into the bowling ball stand. She felt the wind being knocked out of her as she lands on several bowling balls, groaning and rolling slightly to see what was happening. Dave was not laughing now, Monty had seen Bonnie laying in the open storage room and he was furious.
"I got you now!" Monty roared as Dave stumbled backwards to get away. "No more running this time freak!"
He raised a clenched fist and pounds Dave's jaw, she was sure she heard it break. Saphira breathed deeply as she pushed herself onto her hands and knees, moving a hand to her chest as she watched Monty swing another punch at the man.
"Super star!" Freddy's worried voice made her turn her head towards him. Freddy drops to his knee in front of her. "You are broken…let me…"
"NO!" Saphira snapped, pushing herself off the floor and glaring at Dave. "This ends tonight!"
Freddy stood back up and looked at the man, narrowing his eyes. "Yes…it shall end tonight…" He looked back at Saphira. "But you are broken, worse than…"
"I don't care!" Saphira snapped again with a slightly higher pitched voice.
The suit on Dave's body was slowly being torn away, they could visibly see the bruising and injuries that Bonnie had inflicted on him, and the new ones that Monty inflicted on him. Dave was still trying to avoid him, but Monty landed so many successful blows that he eventually began to crawl. Only then, did Monty stop. Monty huffed and glared at Dave, his fists still clenched and ready to fight him.
"You disappoint us all Dave…we thought you were our friend," Monty said to him angrily, he glances up towards Bonnie who was still twitching. He had seen everything. "But…it was just a costume…just like your costume now!"
"He, he…you have no idea…" Dave managed to laugh, moving his legs to try and stand. "And I thank you…"
Monty opened his mouth to ask what he meant, only for Dave to grab the sledgehammer and swing it around. "MONTY LOOK OUT!" Saphira screamed, rushing forward and widened her eyes as the hammer smashes Monty's jaw.
The gator roared and stumbled, holding his face in shock and glared at Dave as the man used the hammer to pull himself back up off the floor. "He, he, he, I have waited to do that. Not as much as fun as tinkering with your wires and nearly deactivating you permenantly, but it was still fun."
"What did you say?" Freddy widened his eyes when Dave spoke about Monty's incident.
"What? Did you really think a simple technician tampered with Monty's endo?" Dave laughed loudly and shakes his head, the glowing red eyes of the bunny suit did not go out. "You did me a favor getting rid of him. He was good like her!"
Saphira's body was trembling from so much rage. It was Dave all this time! It was not a night guard that hurt Monty. Dave made it look like it, to the point Monty could not trust any night guard. Monty growled and lunged at Dave again, now knowing the truth for his near demise.
"Monty, don't!" Freddy yelled, rushing forward to stop Monty as Dave swings the hammer again and hits Monty's stomach hatch, smashing the casing and parts scatter over the floor. Monty stumbled back into Freddy's arms, the bear bot steadied his friend and glared at Dave. "You…you are despicable!"
"Oh, he, he, he! Am I about to see a very angry Freddy Fazbear?!" Dave mocked, swinging his body side-to-side. "Oh! I want to see that! So badly, it will feel so much better to put this in your face!" Freddy's glare narrowed and his fists tighten slightly while keeping Monty steady. "Go on! Show her your true…AAAARRRGGHHH!"
Freddy and Monty widen their eyes as a chair had been thrown at him. They glance to see Saphira walking towards Dave, she was dragging another chair behind her. Her expression, it held no warmth, no kindness…it was full of hate. She had seen red, and she was not going to be forgiving.
Dave groaned and glanced up as Saphira lifts the chair up. "Wait! No!"
He covered his face with his hands, but Saphira slammed the chair down. She slammed it down again, again and again. Even when Dave stopped moving, and blood sputtered over the floor, she did not stop. Monty and Freddy were shocked, this side of Saphira scared them. Freddy lowered Monty to the ground and ran over to Saphira, grabbed the chair mid swing to stop her.
"Saphira…stop…" Freddy held the chair as Saphira tried to throw it down again. "You did it. You stopped Dave super star." Saphira took deep breaths and glanced up at Freddy, her eyes soften again and fill with tears. "I am sorry we did not get here sooner."
He pulled the chair from her hands and dropped it on the ground. Saphira began to sob and she threw herself into his arms, throwing hers around him, Freddy felt Saphira trembling as she held him tightly. "I…I…" Saphira could hardly say anything, she glanced over her shoulder at the bloody puddle of Dave's body. "I…couldn't stop…"
"That is why I stopped you. You got him." Freddy rubbed her back gently, he glanced down at the body and scanned it. There was no heartbeat signature, and Freddy knew that Dave was deactivated. At least, that is how he saw it. "We need to get Bonnie and Monty to Parts and Service now."
Saphira nodded into his chest, sniffling and slowly pulled away, glancing at Monty and Bonnie. Monty was not as bad as Bonnie, his jaw needed to be completely replaced, there was no question. Same with his stomach hatch parts. But Bonnie needed a complete work over. Saphira did not know how long that was going to take. She wished she had Cliffton here to help her, maybe this wouldn't be so hard.
"Oh my!" Chica gasped loudly as she and the others finally make it to Bonnie bowling. "Holy…there's no way you can get out of this…"
"No, but Darren needs to know what has happened," Mr Hippo said calmly, looking around the bowling alley and approached Monty on the ground. "We will need to back her up."
"Y-Y-Yes…s-sh-she f-f-fought hard," Monty responded with his own glitchy voice. "W-W-We w-w-will e-e-en-ensure s-s-she stays."
She smiled slightly hearing that Monty wanted her to stay. She was glad about that. She glanced over to Bonnie. "They both need help…I can't lift an animatronic on my own."
"I know. We will get them down there." Freddy kissed Saphira's forehead gently, and pats her back. "But I can't help like this…even though I enjoy our hugs."
Saphira knew he was right, but she wanted to be in his arms right now. Even though she knew she had a job. She looked back to Monty as he is helped to his feet by Roxy and Foxy. They glance at Saphira with a smile.
"We got Monty covered Freddy," Roxy said, giving them a thumbs up. "We will get this hot head down to Parts and Service."
"And I will get Bonnie down there." Saphira looked into the storage room to see Mr Hippo literally carrying Bonnie. She was shocked to see that because she did not know the bots could do that. "Now that we don't have Dave to worry about, we should not have any kind of interruption."
Saphira hoped that was true. The virus was still in the system, and someone else could take his place, but for now, the animatronics needed to be fixed. She was about to speak to Freddy when she felt his hand move under her legs and lift her up suddenly bridal style. She smiled at him even though she still felt very shocked that he would do that. He smiled at her and walked away, he intended on ensuring she was not going to waste her energy on walking. Especially as he knew she was injured. Chica stayed with Mr Hippo in case he needed some extra help, but it seemed he was going to be able to carry Bonnie down to Parts and Service just fine.
Saphira laid her head against Freddy's shoulder, breathing in his unique scent as she thought about what had just happened. "We didn't get to finish what we were talking about earlier."
He glanced down at her and chuckled lightly at her. "I suppose that is true…we got distracted with the music and Bonnie's disappearance."
"Yeah…and…" Saphira clenched her eyes shut for a moment and took a deep breath. "Now, after all that has happened…I need to admit that I am scared." He frowned slightly at her. "Not of you, not anymore Freddy. But rather…I am scared on what could happen if I embrace those feelings."
"Is it really a bad thing?" Freddy asked curiously, not knowing if feeling the feelings he had for Saphira should be scary for him too.
"No…it is not…" Saphira lifts her hand to rub the bowtie on his chest. "It also is not wrong to be afraid of embracing the feelings. They are new, and you truly don't know what to do with them. But…like you, I am understanding mine more. And after Dave…tried to bait you into that hammer…" Spahira shakes her head and tears escape the corner of her eyes. "Freddy…I am sorry for keeping you waiting…we hardly know each other. I have gone through my entire life not trusting people with my heart, and…I am afraid to give it to you."
"I know, your childhood is the reason for that. I am glad that I am not a human. So maybe I might just have an advantage." She giggled at him and nodded as that was partially true. "Before you arrived in my life, I never really understood the beauty of a human. Now, I do. Even when you don't have clothes on."
Saphira's face quickly changes to red, she was still uncertain on how she felt about him seeing her naked, but as Freddy was still innocent about sexuality, it really was not that bad. "I am glad that I have helped with that. And I guess, I had a hard time looking past my old mentality that you are just a robot. It took a while, but now I see it is not the case. Not at all."
"I am very glad that you changed your mind about us. It means a lot to us. It really does." Freddy lifts her up more to kiss her forehead again. "I am glad that we may finally have some peace. No more disappearances, just normal nights."
"Yes, that is what I hope for." Saphira smiled and glanced down as Freddy finally reached the bottom floor of the atrium. "And maybe…something more."
"Something more?" Freddy blinked in surprise. "I am not sure what that even means…"
She chuckled a little and watched Freddy step up to the lift. They wait for Chica and Mr Hippo to join them, Chica pressed the button to head down to Parts and Service. Saphira shifts in Freddy's arms so her face was in front of his. He looked back directly at her green eyes, those sparkling, emerald eyes were so easy for him to get lost in. They were so beautiful and gentle. Saphira leaned in and kissed him, he noticed this kiss felt a little different, like there was passion involved…and something else. He kissed her back, holding her against him as the lift slides down towards the bottom.
"You know, I didn't realize you would ever fall for a human female." Both Saphira and Freddy jump when Mr Hippo spoke to them. They glance at him and Chica who were looking at them, Bonnie was also managing to sideeye them. "Saphira must truly be special for you feel love Freddy."
"Love?"
"You don't know what that is?" Mr Hippo widened his eyes and shrugged. "I suppose if you have felt it or received it, you won't know what it is. But I can see that the two of you are in love with each other. Just like Foxy and Foxette were in love, Bonster and Monts are in love, and…." Mr Hippo paused for a moment as he thought about the past. "Pigpatch and I…we too had feelings for each other…"
Freddy had no idea that was the case. He looked at Saphira, he saw she seemed embarrassed and she glanced back at him. "Is what he says true?"
Saphira bit her lip, hesitating for a moment. She truly did not want to spill the beans yet, but she couldn't hold back. "Yes…yes he's right." She smiled at him, hugging him again and kissing his lips passionately. "I love you Freddy…I really, really do…it just took me a while sort out my feelings."
Freddy purred in response, hearing her say those words was music to his ears. "I love you too super star."
Chica claps and giggles, smiling at them and she jumped once the lift reached the bottom. "This is so great! I never knew this would happen, but I am happy!" She spins around excitedly and stopped when the lights suddenly go out. "Oh no…I hope Moon stays away…"
"That's right, you told me Moon is not friendly," Mr Hippo said, looking around for a moment. "We should keep heading to Parts and Service. Standing here is not going to solve anything."
Saphira kept her arms around Freddy's shoulders while laying her head on it, her eyes looked around for Moon. He was the only one who could cause problems now. But, with Dave gone, would he have a reason to? She did not know. The animatronics walk towards Parts and Service, she heard the doors open and looked ahead to see Roxy and Foxy's eyes looking back at them, waiting for them to enter the room. Saphira continue to gaze around, she did not hear anything or see anything at all. She hoped that was a good sign. Freddy himself was thinking that was a good sign as well, but they were all being cautious. Monty was laying on a table currently, he took was glancing around as he could not move to help if it was needed.
Freddy stumbled suddenly, making her yelp and grasp him in shock. "Freddy?!"
"I am sorry…I need to recharge super star," Freddy said apologetically. "My systems are going to shut down if I don't. You can deal with Monty and Bonnie while we recharge."
Saphira was shocked, she felt Freddy placed her on the floor and she heard the cylinder being opened as Mr Hippo carries Bonnie into it to place onto the chair. "Are you serious?" Saphira glanced around with worry. "Of course he comes when you need recharge…"
"We are sorry kid, but would you rather we go for a few minutes, or drop to the ground and need maintenance?" Roxy asked bluntly, Saphira could easily picture Roxy putting her hands on her hips even though she could only see her eyes.
"I guess you're right…"
"Dave is gone, you are safe lass," Foxy said gently. "We will be back in a moment. Freddy can use the recharge right outside Parts and Service, we will go to our rooms and be back."
"I'll wait for my turn," Mr Hippo said, walking out of the cylinder. "Bonnie is in the cylinder now. But you might need to have one of us hold his body down. His endo is flinching too much for it to be safe."
Saphira knew that they would want to avoid Bonnie being deactivated, even if it was for her own safety. She nodded and watched as their lights disappear. She glanced around nervously, the lights still did not turn back on.
"Umm…are you and Bonnie going to be okay Monty?" Saphira asked, glancing at his eyes that she could see in the dark. "Without a recharge I mean."
"Y-Y-Yes…I-I w-w-was just re-recharged…Bonnie c-c-can be re-rech-ch-charged after."
Saphira hated hearing the glitchy voices from Monty and Bonnie, but she would ensure their voice boxes were fixed so they would be normal again. She huffed and glanced around, wondering what has happened when a face dropped in front of her suddenly.
"HEEELLLOOO!" Saphira yelped and fell backwards onto the ground as she saw the red eyes of Moondrop. "Oh, oh, sorry." He chuckled and looked down at Saphira while he gripped the roof above. However, him saying sorry was strange. "I must say, you did a very good job on Dave. He, he, I saw all the evidence in Bonnie Bowling." She frowned at him, not knowing what he was saying. "And thank you for dealing with that idiot! He was a naughty boy anyway! You are a good girl!" Saphira said nothing, this change in tone and behaviour was strange, she did not know if that was Moon's true self or not. "I hope you will stay after the night ends child, you just saved a whole lot more lives."
Saphira widened her eyes in surprise as she listened to him. "D-D-Does that mean…?"
"Mean what? No idea what you are talking about. But you really need to cleanup in Bonnie Bowling. You might get into trouble…"
"I can't, I need to tell Darren and inform the police what really happened…that way, this place can be truly free," Saphira interrupts Moon. He tilts his head slightly as he listened to her. "You did not need to kill Cliff."
"Oh! I did not do that!" Moon chuckled loudly and began to dance, she heard the squeaky joints and jumped when she heard Freddy stomping into the room after slamming the doors open. "You already know who did it. I have a great idea, why don't you check the second basement. There is lots of evidence there."
Saphira did not know what he meant, but the idea of going down to the second basement and finding the bodies of those Dave had killed, that definitely was not going to happen. She frowned at Moon and was surprised when she heard Freddy lunging for Moon.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, Freddy…that was not very niiice," Moon said to him, mocking him as he had lifted himself away with his strong. "You need to watch your back."
"I am not afraid of your Moondrop!" Freddy said to him in a stern voice. "You need to leave, we are busy."
"I see…poor Monty and Bonnie…that could have been avoided…oh well…" Moon laughed loudly before the lights suddenly come back on.
Saphira covered her eyes as the lights sting them and glanced up as Moon's body twists and turns as Sun's face replaces Moon's face. He looked around in confusion before dropping to the floor and looking at Monty and Bonnie, realizing what had happened.
"Oh no…Dave attacked them…" Sun looked at Saphira and ran towards her suddenly, making her scramble back slightly. "You did it! You got rid of Dave! Woo, woo, woo!" She grimaced as his cheers were loud and tensed when he suddenly hugged her. "Thank you! Oh, thank you, thank you, thank you! I don't want to remember seeing his face before he kills someone!"
"You saw him do it?" Saphira asked in shock, Sun released her from the hug. "Why did you not say anything? I could have maybe downloaded some of your memory."
"It was not simple…it still is not…Dave is gone, but there are many others…" She was shocked to hear that, she did not think there was more than Dave. "The virus has spread pretty far and wide…that is why."
"So…why was I targeted?"
"To be the new toy, simple as that," Sun said with a shrug and pressed his hand on his forehead. "Oh! I hope you can get rid of it Saphira. I can't stand see through Moon's eyes! I see and hear everything! I am so sorry about the blood last night. Please, it wasn't my fault."
"I'm not mad at you Sun, I am not even mad at Moon…not anymore." Saphira moved to stand, grimacing slightly as the pain in her side ached sharply and she straightened up, looking down at Sun. "Now that I know what has really caused the animatronics to go nuts, I can probably do something about it."
"I hope so…we need it gone, so we are all safe!" Sun glanced behind him as Mr Hippo walked back in, the animatronic placed hands on his hips as he looked at him. "I wish it was better circumstancs Mr Hippo, nice to see you on your feet. Now I must go back to the daycare." He looked at Saphira as she walked up to the computer to begin the repair log. "Make sure you do a good job Saphira…they didn't deserve being hurt…none of them did. Even Monty…that was a horrible incident…"
Saphira guessed Sun knew the truth being Monty's incident, but he couldn't say anything because of the virus. She sighed as she started the log and gestured for Freddy to come into the protective cylinder with her to help her with Bonnie. As much as she didn't need to scan Bonnie, it was part of the process. Having Freddy in here was also against protocol…but that didn't matter right now. She needed to fix Bonnie as quickly and efficiently as she could. She could tell he was in a lot of pain.
