Chapter 56: "Talk"
Funtime Freddy's P.O.V
"Was that better?" I asked. "Your efficiency has gone up by 0.234651009% since the last time you asked me that, which, as a reminder, was a minute ago," said Duality. "Sorry, I'm just seeing if I'm making progress here," I apologized. "I'll will say that you have improved since you continued training. Your attacks are more powerful and faster, you can enter the Resurrection State longer, and your perception of prediction and being ready for anything to happen only increases. You're making progress. However I can calculate that still isn't enough for you," noted Duality. "I know. I just need to be ready. I mean, tonight will be Friday, the day we are set to stop William and when his plan will go into motion as well. If I'm not ready, or everyone else, we'll only lower our chances of succeeding," I responded. "Speaking of everyone else, what time is it right now?" "About seven forty two. You worried that they aren't here yet," said Duality. "I am. Enemy could've shown up, or something worse. They been one step ahead of us and we still haven't figured out how," I said. "As long as everyone is prepared in case things go wrong, they'll be fine," he responded. Suddenly I could hear the sound of the car driving up the driveway, meaning everyone had arrived back. "They here," I said walking on over to the wall to press the button to open the garage door. The door for the garage slowly lifted up, as I could see the car waiting for it to open as well. Finally the car backed up into the garage slowly, fitting itself in the garage, though we didn't have any room now. Still we could always move it out once we were done when needed. Once they were parked inside I pressed the button the close the garage door, as it slowly closed now. The doors for the car opened as everyone stepped out of the vehicle, all battered and destroyed. They look roughed up and in bad shape with injuries that were noticeable at a glance. The trunks doors opened as well with Bonnie and Charlie stepping out as they pushed out the cart with wheels with two bodies laying to rest on it. Bon Bon and Springbonnie. I walked over to them concerned, looking at the both of them to see what had happened. "What happened to them?" I asked Bonnie looking at him. He looked sad, wounds covering him, nothing that could hide the pain on his face. "Elizabeth chopped off Bon Bon's leg. It can be reattached and he'll be fine," said Michael walking up to me with Foxy and Mangle. "And Springbonnie?" I asked. He immediately looked away, giving my answer to her fate. "No," I said realizing that Springbonnie was gone, a husk of life that had left long ago. "How? How did it happened?" I asked. "The enemy had me on the ground, I was defenseless. Springbonnie protected me and the device, gave... gave her life... to save me... " said Bonnie trying to hold back the pain. I couldn't believe to actually see it, the toll of war and what we were fighting for. Losing a life, any life, it was surreal. She wouldn't reach heaven or hell, not even receive any after life. Just a void. A void full of nothing.
"I can't fucking believe this!"
We all turned to Bon Bon's voice, as he was looking at me dead on. "You think you got any right to mourn her?! After staying here doing nothing like usual!? All the fucking time you sit around, acting like watching from the sidelines is going to prepare you for battle?! How about you actually decided to be at the battle and do something for once?! Stop crying about your fucking problems and realize this is war! People fucking die and give their life for a cause worth fighting for! You have no right to respect their sacrifice and all that have died because of this war when you think your problems matter more than what's as stake! Your pathetic!"
Everyone stared at him, shocked to see him make a comment at such a moment. In that moment I couldn't hold it back anymore, I was sick of his hatred towards me like I had done something wrong.
"You know what Bon Bon? You know what you're fucking problem is? You! Every since I came back to life you've had a problem with me, a chip on your shoulder at every moment. Then you found Bonnet's body, and everything went to hell after that! Your attitude went to shit, your went all bloodthirsty on Elizabeth, and you refuse to work with us! Every god damn time the enemy got the jump on us or we made a mistake I'm the one you point the finger at!" I exclaimed angry at this point. "You hate me! Like I did something wrong or I ruined your life! I don't even know what it is that is the reason for you acting this way! You don't talk to me when I ask you and I can't even have a fucking conversation with you running off to deflect any solution to this problem! So we're settling this now!" I exclaimed. Everyone stared at me, probably shocked to see me angry for the first time. I just had to let off some steam, especially from everything that had been going on. I was going to get this resolved.
"Everyone leave. Now. And don't bother us," I said at once. Nobody dared to disobey my request, as they all made their way to the door to the house. Everyone walked inside as Michael glared at me, seemingly knowing what I had to do before entering in the house. The door closed, leaving just me and Bon Bon.
"I'm not going to fucking t-"
"I don't care anymore! We're settling this for good! So how about for once you shut the fuck up and actually listen?!" I exclaimed cutting me off. He kept his mouth shut, not speaking a word as I let out a small sigh. "What happened to us? We used to be friends, hell you were like a brother to me. What happened?" He didn't say anything, as he stared at me. "Well? Are you going to answer?" I asked. "You said to shut the fuck up remember?! That's what I'm doing!" Bon Bon exclaimed. "Ok, fine! You can talk!" I exclaimed. "How about this then? What happened to you? Huh? Used be something else, then you changed when you died. You haven't been the same since," said Bon Bon. "I changed. It's not like I wanted to anyway, but I changed. For the better, and for the worse. When I died, the old me died in a way. I'm only just starting to feel like the old me, when everything is lining up after everything. I've accepted now the path I'm taking and where it will lead me, now all I got to do is make sure I fix the things that need fixing. One of them is us. This hatred, whatever you want to call it I don't care. It has to stop. The last thing we need is for us to be fighting each other, not when Michael's father's plan will be enacted tonight," I responded. "Do you think I want to be fighting you? Do you? Not very easy when you refuse to stop acting like an ass, am I right?" "After all this time you have the balls do something, considering it doesn't take many to stand up for yourself," responded Bon Bon. "That's exactly my point here! You don't listen, and don't take a situation like this seriously! In fact you don't take anything seriously unless it involves killing Elizabeth over Bonnet!" I exclaimed frustrated. "I don't take anything seriously?! I've been taking this conflict seriously since I set my mind to it! More than what you've have been doing! I did your training for the Resurrection Power! I've been on every retrieval mission, and I've lost my fucking legs as a result! I've done more shit than you!" he exclaimed angry back. "Really now?! You think I haven't done shit?! I've supported everyone by training them, including you! I went on one of the missions, even if it was one! Don't act like you've above me! Not with how revenge is the only thing on your mind or bring me down because of my struggles! I would imagine you would have your own!" I exclaimed back. "I do! I'm the only one here that see what's no one else does! Nobody willing to do what must be done! What I do is what no one else can do! Looking your god damn enemy in the eyes and ripping their heart out! I have to do what you softies can't do because someone has to! Especially since you refuse to participate with us in anything until we actually needed you to do shit!" he exclaimed. "So that's the root for all this hate then? Because I haven't done enough by your standards?" I asked. "No! Because this new you sucks! All depressed and sad about everything! That's not the Funtime Freddy I used to know!" he exclaimed. Suddenly things became a lot clearer now, as my angry and frustration of him started to disappear now. What I thought was unjustified hate towards me now appeared to a perception of what I used to be change that had affected him. "You miss the old me. Is that it?" I asked. "Yes! I do!" he exclaimed before sighing. "You were always taking charge, being the one to lead us when we met. You showed me and the others there was still a lot to learn, not about the world but about ourselves. I looked up to you, hell I was even inspired by you. You were like the old brother I never had that I could look up to and learn from. I learned some of things I did because of you. Why do you think I joined you and Michael to stop William, when I could've easily sat at home on my ass? Part of it may have been me wanting to actually do something, but with your way of inspiring those around you it got me to join you and Michael." "I... never knew that... I guess it makes sense now," I responded. "Like you said, the old you died when got our asses kicked by William. You haven't been the same since. What there's to look up? All I see is someone that just wears your face, making people think it is Freddy," said Bon Bon. "Then acting like a dick. All this shit was because you hate the new me? Could've just said you hated the new me to my face and I probably would've been fine with it," I responded. "Whatever," he responded. "Then am I wrong to say you only wish to kill Elizabeth to feel better about Bonnet's death? To actually feel better about yourself?" I asked. "Oh, have you learned nothing?! I tell you one thing and you think you know everything about me?!" he exclaimed again. "You haven't because you're back to acting like a dick? How about you actually tell me what's up?" I asked annoyed. "It's you! All of you! Michael! Back then it was about just killing William and whoever got in our way! Now everyone seems to consider giving sympathy to our enemies, after what they've done!" he exclaimed. "You know what Michael did on the mission!? And I know this because I was on the ground and couldn't do much, watching it go down like a play! He was ready to let himself get killed by his own sister, just to bet that she would turn to our side! He was contempt with betting on that, especially after swearing to be the one to end his father's life!" I stared at him, not saying a word. It seemed he was waiting for me to respond and act like that was a shocker to me.
"What, no fucking response?" he asked. "Expect me to be shocked? Not really. Seems like something he would do," I responded. "Are you're okay with that? Giving redemption to every enemy or anybody?" he asked. "What about Michael? He did to try to kill me and was the one who killed innocent lives, even if he wasn't in control? So by your logic we shouldn't give him any second chances," I responded. "Maybe. I didn't like him at first, but he proved himself to be trustworthy by helping us multiple times in battle. And I guess he saved me just today as well," responded Bon Bon. "Look, Bon Bon. Michael is doing what he believes is right and he see's something in his sister, a way to save her. I say you let him continue to do what he's doing. Besides I do agree you shouldn't allow redemption to every person you meet that has done wrong in their life. One only deserves it if they seek to right the amount of wrong in their life the best they can, those are people who deserve redemption. The one's who seek it, not others who seek for them to change," I responded. "Like his sister will seek redemption. No after everything she has done," said Bon Bon. "You never answered my question: Is this about getting revenge on her?" I asked. "Yeah, it is. And? What are you going to do about? What's wrong about that?" he asked. "You're going to get yourself killed, it's pointless, I don't need a million reasons to give as to why this won't get you anywhere. Anyone with a functioning brain or system knows this ain't going to do shit," I responded. "I'm not just doing this to get revenge but get it into everyone's system you have to do what is necessary. You guys are getting soft, all with the redemption thing and wondering why William is doing all this. I said to this Michael and Mangle already, but I don't think you or him have the balls right now to kill William. So it'll be down to Mangle or whoever to take his life if it comes to it, and if I survive this until the end I'll gladly kill that motherfucker," he said. "If I have to end his life in place of Michael, then I'll do what must be done," I responded. "Will you? Saying one thing is easier than actually enacting it," responded Bon Bon. "Then we'll see if it comes down to it," I responded. "Look. I don't want you throwing away your life, all just to prove something. It's not worth it in my eyes. We've already lost a part of our family today," I responded. "We did. Bastards took her down. You consider her family, even if you haven't known her for long?" said Bon Bon. "Anybody will react to knowing of a death, or even seeing a dead body right in front of them the same way. You feel bad, maybe wonder how they'll family will react or how it'll affect them," I said turning to stare at Springbonnie's body. "Still, during the time I got to know her it reminded me of the old days. Just you, me, Foxy, everyone else that was apart of the gang at the time. You kinda just become a family with people you meet for the first time in your life and it grows on you. Next thing you know you're acknowledging that they are family to you. You feel the same way to everyone around you, or you generally hate them?" I said. "It's hard for these people to replace the old family we had. Yet they've grown on me too. Yeah they different than what we're used to, and Helpy kinda pisses me off at times, but I got used to it. It's hard to associate with them though, especially if there's a chance we may not survive this at all. You start to see them as family, then the next moment they're gone. Just like what happened to Bonnet, Lolbit, Yenndo, and Ballora. I'm not going to lose anyone else by being betrayed by those we trusted," said Bon Bon. "Yeah. I understand that," I responded. "Still, I urge you to reconsider with giving up your life to defeating Elizabeth. It's only going to hurt us and your family." "That's the point of it," he responded. "The point? So you want to us to feel bad for your death?" I asked. "You'll know what it was for when it happens," said Bon Bon. "So you're not going to tell me then?" I asked. "No. I've already told enough for today so lay off already," he responded. "I don't like the sound of that," I expressed sharing my concern. "Just trust me then. Can you do that at least?" he asked. "We'll see," I responded. "Fuck man. Can you just give me a yes or no!" he exclaimed no satisfied. "Fine. It'll be a yes," I responded. "You know, this whole ordeal would've been prevented if we just talked this out." "That's in the past now. We worked things out. Can't ever be satisfied with things," said Bon Bon. "Fair point. Then we can agree to work together and with everyone to end all this? Finally ending William and his minions?" I asked. "Yeah we can. In hours things are going to get done and dictate who the hell comes out on top, and it's gonna be us," stated Bon Bon. "Right. No matter what happens or whoever gets in our way we'll prevail with everything we got to be the one's standing on top of everything, even if it means our own bodies are the one's on top," I stated. "Heh. Guess the old you really isn't dead anymore," said Bon Bon. "I don't think the old me was ever dead. He was just sleeping, going through a change as the new me took his place. Now he's waking up, reborn to take back his place in this world," I responded. "That old me is itching to finish where things were left off. Not yet though. He still has unfinished business." "Unfinished business with what?" asked Bon Bon. "Someone dear to me that needs saving," I responded. "Foxy needs my help, whether she wants it or not. Only I can save her from herself."
