Michael's P.O.V

"Hey Springy?! He's not dead, is he? He can't be."

"He still hasn't moved. Where's a medic when you need one."

My ears started to flourish from the sound of the others, as I opened my eyes now while turning my head that was facing to the left of me. "He's up!" exclaimed Foxy as I grunted from the where I was laying on the ground and moving myself upwards now. "Jesus, you left us concerned after passing out. Are you alright?" said Mangle stepping in front of me to see if I was alright. "Yeah, I am," I responded. "Oh thank god! We probably couldn't go on without you if something happened," expressed Springbonnie as she breathed a sighed of relief. "Eh, what happened to surpassing little things like that, huh?" said Bon Bon. "Enough. Do you know what caused you to pass out?" said Mangle. "Uh. Yeah, I do... " I responded as I got up on my feet now. "Unfortunately the cause of this was more than just a simple interference or feeling." "It's best to know regardless, whatever it might be," responded Mangle. "Well... When I passed out for however long, a memory long forgotten resurfaced to my mind. A missing piece of my life ripped out like a page from a book," I responded. "A memory? How can something like that be so drastic to you? You were out for like a minute or two, but seem unaffected or different," said Bonnie. "I don't know how either. But that memory contained how my sister died and the day I was there when she was killed," I responded. Everyone's face and expression changed from what I shared, as even Bonnie and Springbonnie look at each other in disbelief. 

"You never knew the cause of her death," said Mangle looking down, followed with a sigh. "No. I never did. My father erased all memories of her and replaced himself with Henry, as to perceive him as the one responsible for everything. Though I'm starting to piece together why my sister's existence was erased from my mind," I responded. "What reason then do you have to believe that?" asked Foxy. "Recalling the events of my sister's death and what had happened to her at the underground location could be detrimental by being able to expose my father's true intentions, and possibly was ensured so we could all meet and find each other and join forces... Maybe my father knew that was going to happen," I responded. "Or he made sure it would happen possibly," added in Foxy. "You're telling me your father set for you, the old Mangle, and Shadow Freddy, as well as our group to meet, journey to his shitty pizzeria, and be in the same room with him where we can easily break his legs and kill him? Jesus, ever heard of coincidences because I guess not," shared Bon Bon frustration at Foxy's response. "Ok, maybe you have a point. Then perhaps it was bound to happen? Michael was bound to find our house that was his father's previously, believing he was the one that was innocent. Yet he also allowed Freddy to leave in his house, and the rest of us moved in later on. Still Michael meeting us ensured Baby and Ennard would be able to destroy the others without complications while we were off trying to find William. It feels like he wanted us to find him so we could all be in one place so he and his minions wouldn't need to break a sweat by simply destroying us all. And he did just that, though if it weren't for Henry and Helpy we would be goners," answered Foxy. "Still, I'm surprised Henry was able to rescue. Perhaps my father underestimated us, including Henry," I responded. "Ya'll ever think you be overthinking it a little, doesn't help the mind much either. I'm getting a headache just by hearing this conspiracy theory nonsense," said Bonnie. "Possibly, but the theory is eligible to be proven. Anything can be manipulated, even the world around us," said Mangle. "Retracing back to how this conversation started, I guess being here somehow triggered that memory I mentioned and showed the true fate of my sister. As much as I didn't need to visualize the murder another time, knowing her fate assures me she wasn't the way she is now," I responded. "If you're still thinking about having her join us, forget it. I still have a score to settle and I'll continue to pursue her, whether you intervene or not," stated Bon Bon, as to say for me to not challenge him. "Revenge won't have a payoff in the end, it's just an illusion for you to chase it in the first place," I responded back with. "If I was able to change back into the person I was once was, there is hope for my sister yet." "Well, before you passed out we were able to recover the Disrupter and it appears to be intact," said Mangle changing the subject, as she took out the device from behind her. To be honest it wasn't anything I was expecting it to be like: The device had the structure of a cops radar gun, except the top part was circular and had a red plastic piece in the middle and the handle curved at an obtuse angle. "Good. Do we know how to operate it?" I asked. "Not currently. Though I'm sure Henry will teach us how to operate it when we return back home. Regardless, our mission is done here," responded Mangle. "Let me see it so I can test it out myself," suggested Bon Bon. "I think not. This weapon is valuable to us and any damage to it or unauthorized tampering could set us back; we need anything to inflict any major blows against our enemies and this weapon will not be used until we understand how to operate it properly," explained Mangle, though it was obvious she did not trust him in the slightest. 

"We probably need to escape this situation first."

My mind wandered for a second at what Bonnie was referring to, as the others turned towards the direction he had his body towards. Elizabeth and Ennard came into view once Springbonnie had turned her body around where I could see what was in front of me, even by being surrounded by darkness. "You're disturbing my tomb. I had expected more from you brother," said Elizabeth. "A shame it'll be your second resting ground. I'd thought I would just have to come to you to bash your claw into your face, but you saved me a lot of trouble," snarled Bon Bon at her. "Back down Bon Bon, that's an order," demanded Mangle keeping her eyes locked on Ennard and Elizabeth. "Oh, the leader always persistent on calming the herd, yet she doesn't have the lead to control them," noted Ennard. "But it's always better when you split them off from the pack helplessly! Pain sure feels me up!" exclaimed the voice of the other Freddy after Ennard. "I believe you have something that belong to us, though asking for it wouldn't result in an easy exchange knowing how this group of yours operates. I do hope it doesn't feel too crowded after this," responded Elizabeth. As soon as her smile slowly formed I knew something was already set in motion, even Mangle seemed to receive the same feeling as she shifted her eyes to the side. I was felt like something of great force was towering over us to spread its dominance towards everyone, and a sense of dread was overtaking the air as well. In an instant me and Mangle swung, knowing it would be the end of us if we refused to heed the signs. We found ourselves facing the minions of darkness, beings made to serve under an order they would not stray or refuse from, something William had to overwhelm us. All of the Nightmare Animatronics were awaiting for us to notice them, all baring their enormous teeth and devilish intentions as their weapon to intimidate us without having to make a single move. A moment later, out of obligation and another unsettling feeling I turned back to find the Twisted Animatronics at Elizabeth's and Ennard's side as well. And with all these findings, I was encouraged to look to the side of us, and found the Phantom Animatronics at a place where you would think you would find them. There was no sign of Golden Freddy or RXQ, though it was possible they were not tasked with defeating us or they were lurking around as to ambush us when we are at our breaking point. Still, the situation we were in was already as bad as it was designed to be, as we were completely surrounded and outnumbered. Our only chance of survival was a decisive plan and concentrated offense, including everyone involving themselves in a position to assist one another. Our plan of retaliation had to be formed with detailed consideration, even with the limited time we received as the enemy had already made the first move long before we realized it. I quickly turned around to see Nightmare's claw trying to scratch and injure Bonnie, as he was quick enough to dodge to the side and evade the attack.

Now the attack was in motion.

It was instant chaos in just a single second, no time to process or take a breath of air; we were already thrown in to the action like an object being tossed around stolen from someone from the previous owner. Phantom Chica and Phantom Balloon Boy on the right charged at us, all while Phantom Freddy and Phantom Mangle did the same on the left; and we only had seconds to react in time. "Move!" exclaimed Mangle, as everyone scattered and leapt to avoid demise, all not hesitating one bit. I jumped near where the Nightmare's were, along with Springbonnie who was to the right of me. Phantom Puppet was already approaching us, who had stayed where he was on the left side until now, most likely to attack since we were in his vicinity. Me and Springbonnie quickly got up as he charged at us now, as I held his arm with them reaching from me while he struggle to push me back. "What happened to-" "Not the time!" I exclaimed while grunting in an attempt to hold Phantom Puppet back. Springbonnie ran and tried to land a punch on him, only he disappeared away before her punch was close enough to make contact. I stumbled a bit back at Phantom Puppet being gone and my hands free of anything in them. "I thought the phantoms and nightmares were on our side," said Springbonnie finally. "I was going explained that. These aren't the same people we meet in your world, and they won't even think about refuting what side they're on," I responded as Twisted Bonnie approached us. With the short moment I had the battle in front of me was already devouring us here, all while Elizabeth and Ennard watched like tyrants allowing this chaos to be created. 

Mangle was dodging and maneuvering around the attacks of Twisted Foxy and Nightmare Bonnie, all but using her wits and thinking to always be one step ahead, all while protecting the Disrupter the best she was willing to go towards. 

Foxy was battling against Nightmare, who seemed to be the one heading towards victory, yet with Foxy's struggles she still appeared to be determined to win the dual. She was taking after Freddy in some aspects, which was enough to make her a highlight to the enemy.

Bonnie was struggling the most against Twisted Wolf and Nightmare Chica, though he was holding out regardless. Even if he would be overpowered by them, he was at the point where he would continue to hold out as long as he could, no matter what was attempting to penetrate his defenses. 

Bon Bon already did not care about the followers, only the strongest being he had chosen to face long ago. He was already close to my sister, though the only the thing keeping him from ripping her head off was Nightmare Freddy and Twisted Freddy, and perhaps it was for the better to delay this act of revenge Bon Bon had let control his destiny and fate at this point. Just from the way he was attacking his opponents, they were sloppy and used as a way to escape the battle or try to end as soon as possible. His recklessness would end him sooner than his suicidal amend to honor Bonnet and his family.

Nightmare Foxy, Plushtrap, and Nightmare Chica's cupcake, Nightmare Balloon Boy, Nightmare Mangle and Nightmarionne were at Elizabeth's and Ennard side for the moment to protect them from us, all while the Phantoms were attempting to pick their targets. However, I noticed Nightmare Fredbear and Phantom Foxy were no where to be found, which meant they either were not apart of the force sent here, or they were somewhere else for reasons that involved something to occupy their time. Perhaps preventing our escape and dealing with our driver. 

Just as I had processed those thoughts I quickly had my attention on the three Freddles jumping at my face, as Springbonnie jumped in front of me to swipe them away. "Sorry, you guys are cute but it's my duty to protect my friends!" announced Springbonnie as one of the Freddle's had grabbed onto her arm now. "Ouch! I'm not corn on the cob!" She grabbed the Freddle once it had sunk it's teeth into her and threw across where my sister was, all while observing her arm leaking oil now. "You ok?" I asked to see if the injury was serious. "Eh, less damage than getting obliterated. Though a doctor could be helpful," responded Springbonnie. Just as she had finished Twisted Bonnie tried to slash her back: Springbonnie was just lucky and observant enough to dodge the attack and move to the side. "One nice attack coming right up!" exclaimed Springbonnie as she stood still, as if expecting for something to happen. Nothing occurred in that moment spawned from her as she intended; even Twisted Bonnie was dazed for a moment on what she was trying to do. "We don't have our abilities, do we?" she responded realizing she was limited with what she could do. "Hey, uh Springtrap? You uh, mind helping me-" Twisted Bonnie attempted to grabbed her, as I jumped up at him and punched him in the face before he could react which caused him to fall back. "Feels weird not having our abilities," said Springbonnie. "Yeah, I myself got too comfortable with having them," I responded agreement. The sound of the doors for this place swinging open each echoed throughout the entire place, as me and Springbonnie turned and looked around in an attempt to locate what door had been opened. From the doorway where the front was emerged Helpy running as fast as he could with his stubbly little legs, all while Phantom Foxy and Nightmare Fredbear chased behind him. "Oh no," I said as quickly turned around to see Phantom Puppet behind me. This time I wasn't quick enough to react, which allowed Phantom Puppet to punch my chest followed by him teleporting behind me and knocking me on the back of the face. I fell against the rock hard floor, a reoccurring trend with every battle I was in, as I struggled to get up in time before Phantom Puppet and Twisted Bonnie were already towering above me. "Coming through!" exclaimed Springbonnie as she headbutted Twisted Bonnie and onto the ground, which allowed me to get is quickly and punched Phantom Puppet, who was distracted with Springbonnie's action. "Guess we don't owe each other anything after us saving each other," I said as Phantom Puppet teleported away now after regaining his composure. "Oh, Bonnie's the one who expects favor, I just expect the appreciation," responded Springbonnie as Twisted Bonnie crawled back on the floor and got up, all before moving back away from us. "Can any of you take the time to save my ass!? I'm kinda defenseless you know!?" exclaimed Helpy while being surrounded by Phantom Foxy and Nightmare Fredbear, and from where Elizabeth and Ennard were some of the other nightmare animatronics had been protecting decided to join in as well. My eyes shifted over to Mangle now, as she pushed Nightmare Bonnie out of the way and ran towards Helpy without consideration of the odds she was facing.

Only, to her those odds were easy obstacles to overcome.

Nightmare Freddy tried to grab a hold of her as he was blocking the direction she was heading towards, though she balled her fist and punched him in the face as he tumbled a bit while covering his face with his hands. Mangle continued to run at the same pace, as if that engagement never took place; and all it did was show the determination and value she kept towards her friends. That was her sworn duty for being leader, and she would do all she could to protect us, even at the cost of her life. Plushtrap attempted to jump at Mangle, only she caught him in mid air like a football and threw him across the room. She had directed the threw at Nightmare Foxy, who was near Helpy as Plushtrap smacked right into Nightmare Foxy's face and caused him to tumbled back. In that moment she had to spare Mangle ran over to Helpy and grabbed him as she ran back towards the others, all while all of us, including our enemies, stood in awe from her glory of being a natural born leader. Elizabeth seemed to study her every movement throughout, all but analyzing someone who had managed to impress her. Though if she was generally intrigued by someone's act of nature, it meant she would attempt to explicit any weaknesses in her, as she had already done the same with Bon Bon.

"Everyone form up on me immediately!"

Judging from the confident and instructive tone in her voice, she had a plan or at least something to help us escape this situation as she always managed to do in situations like these. Me and Springbonnie ran on over to where she was heading, as the others converged onto her position. "That means you too Bon Bon! Don't think you can exclude us!" I exclaimed at him as we passed him. He sighed very loudly in response before running off to where everyone else was going to. Mangle stopped finally and set Helpy on the ground as everyone stopped in front of her finally. "There is a plan right? Like I even asked to be apart of this battle," said Helpy. "There is. All of you surround Helpy while he holds onto the Disrupter; our job will be forming a circle around him and defending off against Baby's forces. We'll move to the front entrance and escape from this place and deliver the weapon," answered Mangle. "It's not like you to back down from a fight," noted Bonnie while punching Phantom Chica, only for his hand to faze right through her as our enemies inched closer to us now. "Our survival and the weapon is more important than wining a battle. Our mission in our priority, not to seize the opportunity to stomp on our enemies corpses," responded Mangle. "Positions now!" Mangle handed the Disruptor to Helpy, as everyone surrounded him in a circle with our backs facing him. "If you gave me the chance, I could defend myself rather than be a target I didn't nominate myself to be," complained Helpy. "Ah, there's always next time. Don't worry," said Springbonnie looking behind her shoulder. "Don't forget we're targets as well," said Foxy. Now we all had our attention on our enemies while they had set their sights on us long ago, all closing in on us now. Elizabeth and Ennard as well were still in the middle of the room as before, both of them not speaking a word, but occasionally making motions at their minions for their next moves. Their silence however was no more.

"A well formed and tactical plan, though it wouldn't hurt to use your own tactic against you, would it?"

"Your sister's planning on boxing us in. We need to move the circle to the entrance quickly, but not too quick to separate the group. Stay in formation, no matter what," instructed Mangle in response to her taunts. "Not a chance when Baby is so close to me ripping out her voice box and shoving it down her mouth!' exclaimed Bon Bon. "You will not engage her what so ever! We need everyone here to protect Helpy and the Disrupter at all costs and we will not stray from the group just for our own personal needs! Now stay at your position!" commanded Mangle frustrated with him once more. I hadn't seen Mangle like this except to me when we first met and I served under her command during the time we went on our quest. I did feel bad about the way I acted during that time, even if I didn't have full control over myself. Bon Bon on the other hand was acting out of line and only intended to do what he wanted, something I didn't commend or gave myself a reason to do myself. Now all the Phantom, Nightmare, and Twisted Animatronics were close enough to attack, as Twisted Freddy was ready to strike me as he held his claws out. I myself was prepared to defend Helpy at the expense of my own life if it came down to that, we were outnumbered and our chances of survival were limited and unforeseeable. 

Though in times like these, the people who lost everything from this franchise only regained enough to prevent others from following their same fate.

Everyone turned to the sound of something, as we found ourselves facing an animatronic holding Plushtrap, as it threw him on the ground at once. It appeared to be the same model as that Freddy model at the new and current pizzeria, though it was black and gray, while its bow tie, cheeks, and hat were red. One aspect very noticeable was its left eye on its side, as it was completely missing for whatever reason. "Lefty! You decided to come crawling back, only to turn against us," said Ennard. "Thanks for volunteering to be our workout!" exclaimed the other Funtime Freddy in him. "I'm still the person I was born to be, not what you desire for me to be reformed as," responded this so called Lefty. The voice spoke as if it wasn't the animatronic's voice box, but more of another entity speaking for it. In fact the voice sounded familiar with a feminine tone, but as to who it was clouded any guesses. Lefty ran on over to us as I noticed a glimpse of something underneath its arms: It appeared to be skinny arms that had black and white strips, which was enough to unravel who was here with us right now. "Puppet?! Is that you?!" I exclaimed at once realizing he was here at this moment. "Puppet? I thought she had died in our world? Unless... " tried to say Mangle just as surprised as me. "I'll answer any questions after this is over," said Puppet or Lefty, though it didn't matter right now what to call him. Though "her" would be the better pronoun, even if her gender was different in my mind. Puppet moved on over to our circle, as Bonnie and Springbonnie moved towards opposite directions to allow space for her. "Nice new look Puppet; make sure the paint job doesn't get scratched for this first battle," mentioned Springbonnie as soon as Puppet got into her spot. Puppet shot her a look to show her confusion, as we all turned back to the enemy pressing on again. The Freddles attempted to jump up at me as me and Funtime Foxy, who was on my right, attempted to block them the best to our ability. I grabbed one of them, while swiping the other one at me, as the final Freddle was also slammed onto the ground like a basketball from Foxy. "To the entrance," commanded Mangle as we all slowly moved on over, all while Helpy attempted to stay in the circle without bumping into any of us. One by one, all the Phantoms, Nightmares, and Twisted Animatronics attempted to break our barricade and yet they were pushed back from any progress. Slowly we inched our way to the doorway for the main lobby, though we had only made it to across the room as time slowly passed by. Each step seemed to go on for minutes, all but dragging out the thought of whether we would succeed or not; it was just a guessing game at this point. As much as our strategy was effective, the chains holding us together would expose a fracture to shatter this bond entirely, and there was only one individual here who could achieve such a thing. Once more, Elizabeth motioned her head at Nightmare as he, Nightmare Balloon Boy, Phantom Puppet, Twisted Wolf, and Phantom Mangle all approached the area where Bon Bon was at once. It was clear what their intentions were: Bon Bon was the shortest and this ensured them to have easy access to steal the Disrupter from Helpy, though they had attempted this already by sending one person to get through an easy access point. Though they forgot they were dealing with Bon Bon, and for someone like him with how he had been acting throughout this whole day he had been a greater defense than most of us. However having five people attack just one of out defenses could cripple everything we had been protecting, even with our fortifications. "Bon Bon on Foxy now!" I instructed just as the five of them were charging up at him. For once it felt like he had obeyed an order, as he did as he was told and climbed up onto her. While he was doing that Bonnie and Foxy grouped close together to leave no gap for anyone to enter, as Nightmare and his group continued their push for the both of them. Twisted Wolf was the closest as Bon Bon kicked him in the face, in which it created a mini domino affected as he feel back on Nightmare Balloon and had them both crash onto the floor. While Bon Bon was impressing us so far, I knew it wouldn't be too long before he acted out again or attempted something rash against Elizabeth. Constantly I noticed him staring directly her for long periods of time, only to break eye contact if someone was in his vicinity or was attacking the others next to him. I myself was constantly shifting my eyes towards him for any sudden moves, and part of the reason I had him stay with Foxy was for her to halt him from continuing his bloodthirsty antics before he jeopardized Helpy. Though we were at the point where we couldn't prevent him from trying to pursue what he saw fit to continue life, even if it risked our lives at the expense of his and what he strived to fight for now. Phantom Mangle attempted to jump at Funtime Foxy, as she kicked her back while we edged closer to the main lobby. Amidst all the chaos all of us had to keep track of every second we were close now to our destination, at least for the next room. All we had to do was keep our momentum going, even if the enemy persisted. As I punched Phantom Puppet I noticed how Elizabeth was walking towards us now, all while Ennard was still in his same place regardless of the stare he gave us and his body pointed at us. 

"So now you choose to engage in the fight, huh? Better than having to do it to myself."

"Don't Bon Bon," said Foxy who overheard him muttering aloud. My sister continued to close in towards where me and Foxy were specifically, knowing this would cause Bon Bon to break off from the team and engage in his personal affairs. 

Each time our words travel through his ears, their only response was his ignorance and constant attitude for denying our requests.

Bon Bon leaped from Foxy's shoulder as Nightmare tried to grabbed him, who was already heading towards us as well. Whether or not Nightmare was acting on his own to deal with us or was instructed to engage by my sister would never be answered by us, nor the fact if she allowed Bon Bon to receive easy access from him. Like a frog leaping to each lily pad Bon Bon landed on Nightmare's shoulder while loosing his a balance for a second before jumping at Elizabeth, all that was needed for us to crumble. Bon Bon jumped in front of Elizabeth as he tried make her lose balance by swiping her legs using his own, anything to have her at a disadvantage. "Bon Bon! Dammit!" I exclaimed as I blocked Nightmare's attack, as his claws and long nails barely scraped my arm I was using as a shield. "We have to get him back here!" exclaimed Foxy as she kicked back Twisted Bonnie. "We can't send anyone out in our current situation, we have to keep moving!" exclaimed Mangle in response. Her tone that showed regret and repressed anger was felt in her voice; she was pissed at Bon Bon once more for not following orders but her code for trying to save and protect all of us had to be overlooked for the mission, even if it deeply scarred and burned her heart for it. 

She had lost Lolbit, a sister to both her and Foxy. 

She had lost friends, family, everyone to one being, along with her world that was just a false reality that served only the purpose of a higher power's amusement. 

Bonnie and Springbonnie had lost the same amount as Mangle, all destroyed in minutes like a massacre. 

Bon Bon had lost a loved one, Bonnet, and the pain from it bled so deeply his only way of dealing with that wound was making it bled more.

Puppet as well had lost her life to my reign of terror, and her family she would have to wait for years to be reunited once again, and a childhood she would never experience because of me.

Freddy had lost his friends and will to find a reason to fight, an untouchable soul that could not be merely influenced and changed so easily. 

I had lost my mother, my sister, a father that never was one to begin with, the life I once had and only recently reformed fragments from a life I would never go back to completely. 

Everyone had been through their hardest, most unbearable, and deeply painful moments at some point, and our only way to cope with that pain was to move past it and keep our heads toward our destination. Though even it times we couldn't keep out head straight ahead, and instead had to let it down to refocus on that pain and fix the damage left behind from it.

Pain did tend to be created from previous pain at times.

Bon Bon continued to attack head on at Elizabeth, all but configuring his focus on her and regardless of how she retaliated. He was not approaching his attack with tactical and critical thinking, not like he had a plan on how to defeat someone vigorously dependent on how they deceive others and manipulate the environment around them. This battle could not end in Bon Bon's favor, which was more of a fact rather than a guess. 

My sister was too much like my father.

Bon Bon dodged the jabs with Elizabeth's claw as he went beneath her, as she once again tried to jab her claw at the ground where he was at. Right as it made impact with the ground Bon Bon jumped up at the claw and at her face with his fist out, though all that was for nothing when the enemy knew what move you would make. She moved her head back as she tried swiping with her claw open, as Bon Bon let his momentum from the jump slow down and fall back on the ground. "How about you stay still so I can destroy you, just like how you made Bonnet and the others felt! Or pain you'll bring to hell with you!" exclaimed Bon Bon. "Oh, very well since you like to know. Where should I begin: How Bonnet begged for her life to be spared and wept to not give a proper goodbye to you? It really was the little bit satisfactory crushing her circuits, Lolbit and Yenndo refused any mercy to be given or sought out and their deaths were left honorable, though there is only so long when that death gets stale. Hearing the yelps of someone always... amuses me. Its like music you can listen to on repeat forever-and-forever; a death that never ceases to wither in circumstances," responded Elizabeth. "Perhaps I should move onto how much oil th-" 

"SHUT UP!" yelled Bon Bon at once as he started to furiously attack her. He went for the legs at first, as my sister was able to kick him away as he tumbled and rolled onto the ground. Not even a moment later he got up on his feet and proceeded to charge at her again. It was almost surreal that he had managed to brush off the pain, if he even was trying to at this point. I knew he was using his anger against Elizabeth at first, but this was just insanity; he was enraged to the point where you couldn't tell how much energy he was really using through all this. And at some point all that energy would deplete and come crashing down on him.

Bon Bon just couldn't stop, as he attacked her arms, her legs, body, whatever he desired at such a pace where you couldn't count how many times he had gone for another attack after the other. I couldn't even keep up with him anymore, as Nightmare tried to go for another round at me and while our group slowly came up on the entrance to the lobby. We were close to the room now, yet Bon Bon hadn't chose to regroup with us, as if that thought of hope would grow into reality anyways. 

In just under minutes a victory on the horizon was blocked momentarily by the prominent hill that sought to hide that sense of accomplishment. Elizabeth grabbed Bon Bon with her hand, as she held him up in spite of his struggles. "Ah! If you want to destroy me I'll take you down with me! You're nothing without your father and the dog you are!" exclaimed Bon Bon. "Oh, I had expected things to warm a little after your full focus on me, if you like to refer to it that way. If I am to destroy you it needs to be reminiscent to how I took Bonnet's life," she responded as she raised up her claw. "I'll be sure to destroy you like a 'dog' who won't have the courage to whimper for help." Immediately her claw snapped Bon Bon's legs as they fell off and onto the ground, all followed by his scream of pain and the huge amount of oil pouring out. "Bon Bon!" exclaimed Foxy in response as we all watched mortified on what had happened. Elizabeth threw him on the ground while he still groaned pain from his injury, as Elizabeth placed her foot on him to ensure he could not escape her grasp. 

"Rodents like you put up a good fight, but it doesn't amount to anything memorable. Peace is mine after you die rightfully so."

In an instant, as my sister's words finally broke the boundaries Mangle left the circle and ran towards her and the wounded Bon Bon, all but ignoring the mission at this point. "Close the circle!" I exclaimed as the others moved in to close it completely, just as Nightmare Fredbear and Plushtrap had attempted to charge at Helpy. Mangle ignored all the constant attempts and swings for taking her down by our enemies, as Elizabeth was ready to jab her claw into Bon Bon. Just as she allowed her claw to fall on Bon Bon and kill him Mangle barely grabbed her claw while struggling to hold it in place, all while Elizabeth seemed to show an interest at her determination. Mangle managed to push my sister's claw back along with her as she quickly picked up Bon Bon and his legs, and immediately sprinted towards us. Some of the minions had completely ignored their attack on us as they were now targeting Mangle from reaching us, all as we had to stay back in order to not risk the mission. Mangle jumped and dodged the attack of the Nightmares, Phantoms, and Twisted Animatronics, not even receiving one scratch as she was heading towards me now. She was doing all she can to reach us all while we were still stuck in a loop of slow progress, even if we were close to the finishing line. We were at the point where the enemy was overwhelming us, due to their frequent and constant attacks and swings they would throw at us each second; all of us were at the point where I couldn't keep up with everything happening around us. Just as Mangle was close enough for me to open room for her both Nightmare Freddy and Phantom Puppet tried to punch her, only she ducked under both of their swings. Nightmare grabbed Mangle's head just as she had evaded the attacks, as she threw her on the ground in front me. Bon Bon flew in between me and Foxy all while yelling in pain on impact with the floor. His legs that Mangle was carrying landed near Foxy on her right, as Elizabeth walked up to where they were now. "I admire you for your work; so much has been mentioned of this team of your and how you even escaped your world," she said staring at Mangle, who slowly looked over at her. "But you've made a mistake saving a rat." My sister then raised her roller skate leg and stomped on Bon Bon's legs multiple times as hard as she could until they were leaking oil, all while being able to see the crushed and exposed endo-skeleton of the legs. As Elizabeth made her way to Mangle all while Nightmare was towering over her menacingly, l knew what would happened next if I didn't react to help her. Even if it costed us our mission, the goal had changed now to escaping with our lives intact and I wasn't about to fail that.

I ran over to attack Elizabeth though I was stopped by Nightmare as he tried slashing me with his claws. I stopped while moving back a little for him to miss his attack on me, as Nightmare approached me now. 

"Watch out!"

I quickly turned to the sound of Puppet's voice, as found myself to be a direct target for Ennard, as he tried punching me. Most of the minions were now pressing their attack on the group, as they had completely stopped moving right at the entrance for the lobby all with nowhere to go or move on. "Our superiority will dominate this world, even those who refuse to submit," growled Nightmare before trying to slash me again with his claws. As I evaded his attack Ennard wrapped his wires around me, all while Nightmare had his opportunity to strike now. As he swung for his attack I managed to move a little, taking minimal but some damage regardless. I could tell part of my animatronic suit was ripped apart as well as my decaying body, all while Nightmare's claws dug further into my left arm with Ennard still wrapped around me; there as no escaping this situation without help. "Your legacy will only be forgotten after endless effort," said Nightmare. He walked on over to me and got ready to end my soul though I knew it couldn't end here, not after what I had left to do. 

Mangle knew that herself.

I quickly turned to my left to find Mangle getting up with my sister attempting to cut off Mangle's leg with her claw, only for her to jump over my sister's attack and run towards me. Some of my father's minions caught on to her plan, as they proceeded to surround me and Nightmare; but at this point her plan had changed. Right when Nightmare's final blow on me was set to be in motion she bashed her way through Nightmare Freddy and Twisted Wolf and jumped in front of Nightmare's claws, all to take the hit for me. It was so instant I couldn't process what had happened as Mangle flew to the side, as her back was leaking oil and you could even see cut wires from the claws marks. "MANGLE!" I yelled in response while the others looked on over to what had happened. "Ya'll will pay for that!" exclaimed Bonnie. Ennard, Nightmare, and the others animatronics seemed a little in shock had what had happened as well, which allowed me to escape from their grasps. With all the strength I had, I raised my back up and slammed Ennard, who was still wrapped around me, onto the ground and caused him to loosen his grip on me. I managed to pull him off me and get on my feet though I was still surrounded by Nightmare and some of the animatronics. The others were in the same predicament, who couldn't handle the offense of my father's might and dominance. 

My father's army carried his mind with them into battle and in their victories. It was their and his pride to fill.

But we all had something that my father, Elizabeth, and army would never be able to claim or own, a leading figure that would protect us as if we were their children.

In front of me all of a sudden was Puppet, as she had her back triumphantly towards me and while I had no idea what she was planning. 

"You will not harm them any longer than what you've already done."

All of a sudden I saw Nightmare go flying and hitting the wall behind him, though I didn't see the cause of that event due to Puppet. She teleported away, all while allowing a better view of Nightmare against the wall who was attempting to already get up. Nightmare Freddy was knocked on the ground from behind, which was Puppet of course, as she shot a purple beam at Phantom Chica to the right. Puppet's only eye was glowing black with a white pupil, meaning the Resurrection Power in her was in effect though I'd always figured she had the power, but it still was strange she was using it now. However, I was starting to feel an odd sensation in my body which encouraged for me to look down at chest. A purple glow was illuminating from that spot now as the same light could be seen from the right of me. I was shocked when I turned to find the same glow appearing from the others, though not as bright as mine. They all seemed confused and dazed at the moment and the same could be said for Elizabeth and Ennard's minions, as they to stopped at the bright reflecting light of glory and hope for us. The Resurrection Power was one in all of us, and it had chosen to awaken in our most desperate moment; a no better time in the heat of death.

The glow appeared to be coming from Puppet as well, as she even stopped for a moment from the collection of light gathered in all of us. For some reason I felt like I had acquired a thought or way to fight back, almost like an instinct kicking in during that moment before it all happened. I shot a beam at Ennard, who unfortunately dodged it in time as I managed get up and bump into Twisted Wolf, who fell on the floor from my move. This movement seemed to inspire and reinstate our position, as the others started punching and throwing attacks at the enemy without them having any time to react. They had been so distracted with everything around them that they hadn't been focusing on their enemies demise; they were dumbstruck by our untamed power, as if to question why it would aid our side. As I went to shoot another beam at Ennard I felt like we finally had something to use to fight against our enemy, a weapon that could at least make a dent in their unrelenting obsession to end us. But that hope was gone as quick as it had arrived. Nothing happened at all in response to what I had hoped would happen, as I stood like a fool knowing the magic a magician had was never real to begin with. Before I unwillingly allowed Ennard to make any move freely on me Puppet kicked him still on the ground, all while I still stood in a trance. "It's time to leave. Right now," she said. I noticed how her chest wasn't glowing any longer, though her eye was still black with a white pupil as my chest was normal again as well. I nodded in response as I ran over to Mangle and picked her up, all while Puppet lifted up Bon Bon and carried him as well. The others had successfully made their way to the lobby now but they were trying their best to hold of the enemy and await me and Puppet's return to the best of their ability. Puppet and I ran on over to the hoard of enemies, as Puppet shot a beam at Phantom Balloon Boy to grab their attention. It worked accordingly as a large majority of the minions turned to look at us, as Puppet teleported out of nowhere. A second later Nightmare Fredbear fell on the ground as Puppet was the one who enacted the attack, which allowed me to freely run past the disrupted blockade and back with the others. "Put Bon Bon in the back and I'll do the same for Mangle!" I commanded as we all ran at the doors. "Do we still have the Disrupter?!" "In safe hands!" exclaimed Bonnie holding it up as we burst open the doors and charged for the car. We all crossed the little portion of the parking lot due to us thankfully parking close as Bonnie swung open the door to the back side. I ran to the right side of the back and opened the back, quickly laying Mangle on the seat. Once I closed the door to her side the doors to the pizzeria swung open with Nightmare and the other devilish animatronics running out and charging at us, as I ran to the other side of the car on the drivers seat with Foxy in the front passenger seat and shut the door at once. Once Springbonnie closed the door Helpy quickly inserted the keys to the ignition by standing in the middle were the cup holder was, all while Nightmare and the others were inches away from us. As the engine turned on I wasted no second on flooring at, as we all looked up to Phantom Freddy in front of us. "Shit!" I exclaimed as he was quick enough to disappear, all as we speed out of that wretched place and onto the road safely. I turned to look at the mirror of Nightmare and his minions just staring at us as they faded away from our vision, all but allowing our safety for just this one time. I sighed in agony from what we had went through as the whole crew was shaken and disoriented from what had happened back there. "We have to get the both of them repaired as fast as possible, the damage is already extensive," noted Helpy looking back at Mangle and Bon Bon. "This is not the time to tell us twice," said Bonnie sounding agitated. "How did they know we were here again?!" Nobody dared to respond as they all kept to themselves, not wanting to speak their mind at a grim fate we could've meet without multiple chances at another day to live. We had successfully completed our objective, though at the cost of leaving with a sense of loss rather than the feeling of accomplishment. Was this really a victory? All I felt was a way for my sister and William's minions to make a fool out of us and play with us like food. We may had found Puppet and further more would've perished without her help and the Resurrection Power surging in all of us, waiting to be mastered. Though at the same time Bon Bon's anger had costed him his legs and who know what would become of him now without an essential part in his body, all but now leaving him and Mangle, who risked her life for me and him, to be disabled and possibly out of the fight for now. Whatever awaited for us next and how to continue or journey was a question looming in our minds more than ever at his point, and did not dare to sooth or comfort our racing minds. 

We were made an example of, and all I could picture from William right now was his smile as he made us bleed more than before. And all I could imagine was Mangle telling us ourselves this was never a victory, only for us to open our eyes to failure and the inability to prevent such a power. 

That power was the price of war. And I only just realized this was a war to begin with, a long one at that.
