Just a Robot 5 (A Fnaf Story)

Chapter 28: "Known"

Funtime Freddy's P.O.V

"Again," said Duality. I jumped up as high as I could, trying to reach a suitable height as I had my hand up to see if I could touch the ceiling. It seemed I was edging closer to reaching the top but still my progress wasn't advancing as fast as I hoped it would. 

"Dammit. Still haven't reached the top," I said aloud looking at the ceiling. "You're not satisfied with the results?" asked Mangle, who was still at her usual place on the table; eating her bowl of pretzels. "I don't mind with the results I have for the moment, but I rather push myself and achieve the goal I had set out to reach. I wanted to reach it faster but that doesn't seem to be happening," I responded walking over to the desk where the laptop for Duality was to rest. "Heh. Reminds me of myself," she responded continuing to eat as I sat on the chair where the table was. 

"Even with your limited time that we are all desperately hoping for more of you are using it to the best of your ability. Even then, there is a chance you will be outmatched by Afton and his mind. All of you don't know what he's fully capable of, even I, and you're going to require more than skill to win," shared Duality. "But I am aware you won't consider my words, for good reasons." "You know exactly then," I responded. "I need my skills and everything to be close to perfection as possible, as any of those skills being weaker will give Afton a opportunity to defeat me, and I'm not going to risk lowering my chances of being defeated." "Yet, you've acknowledged there's a chance that you may fail anyways," noted Mangle. "Unfortunately yes. There is a chance Afton will win this war, so is it imperative to increase our chances to the max and determine the outcome in our favor. And I don't intend to let Afton win so easily," I responded. "Then I would advise at least focusing on working towards completing your training and knowing every thing involving offense, defense, attacks, and anything else needed. Then you can focus on improving what you learned so they function to the best of their ability," explained Duality. "It's the best method I would suggest to learn what is needed and then improve the foundations." 

All of turned to the sound of the door opening as Michael was walking through the door and over to where I was. "I'll take your advice on that," I responded as I turned to Michael. 

"How's training going?" he asked as he stopped in front of me. "Making progress, though I'm going to have to change up on finishing my training and improve what I've learned," I responded. "How Bon Bon's training going with Bonnie?" "As nonproductive as it can be. He refuses to learn or cooperate with Bonnie most of the time, which leads to Bonnie not wanting to train Bon Bon and nothing getting done. I had to step in most of the time to actually get him to learn the material and he did eventually, but you might have to consider a different method. Perhaps even a different teacher, or someone he won't refuse to learn from," responded Michael. "Perhaps I can on that role if I may?" asked Duality. "You sure you want to?" asked Michael. "I can tolerate such people like Bon Bon, and I am the only one he doesn't resent besides everyone else. I'll make it work," responded Duality. "The jobs your then," I responded as Michael made his way over to Mangle. "Getting bored not doing your job?" he asked standing in front of Mangle. "I'm fortunate to have Freddy's training keep my entertained throughout. In fact I'd consider it the highlight of my day stuck in here," she responded. "I hope to continue keeping you entertained until you get walking again, since I'm not stopping anytime soon," I responded drinking the glass of water I had on the desk. "Good to hear that," responded Michael. 

"There's something on your mind, isn't there?"

I looked over at Mangle's comment as I could notice Michael's expression, showing something was lingering in his mind. "I guess I shouldn't be surprised that you noticed something's been bugging me," responded Michael. "I did want to talk with the both of you about this, since I trust the both of you the most out of everyone here." "Would it help for me to leave this conversation for the three of you?" asked Duality. "Actually, I don't mind having you here. You're welcomed to leave if you feel the need to regardless," responded Michael. "I will stay then and give my input if necessary," responded Duality. "Alright? What's running through your mind?" I asked. "A lot actually... " responded Michael. " ...I guess in terms with Elizabeth is where I should start off with." "You've been thinking about the encounter with her? How she chose to not strike you down when she could've easily?" I asked. "I'm conflicted. Part of me is nudging me that she did it to make me think she can be saved, all to have the perfect chance to end me when I'm at my most vulnerable state. And then the other part of me slapping and yelling at me that this is a sign that Elizabeth can be saved, not just from my father but from herself. From the deception, to following my father, and to the lives of the people she killed... Like a cry for help. I don't know which one to believe," he explained. "All these conversations we've had and some of Bon Bon's points, which he has a couple, haven't stirred a right or wrong choice. Sooner or later I'm going to chance to make a choice when I encounter her again."
