Chica, Tee Chee, and T-Fox stared dead at the mangled animatronic. He stared back, unmoving, his purple eye flaring without cause. Chica instantly dashed at it, the startled Mangle yelping, heading into the vent behind it. Chica reached in, her arm disappearing behind the metal grate.
“Great!” She cursed, looking at the others for sympathy.
Tee Chee sat down, huffing from the tiring events. T-Fox walked over to the vents, looking down at Chica with a despondent look. She sighed, feeling helpless against her friend. After a few minutes of staring at her, Chica also sighed, standing up and walking over to the arm that the Mangle dropped.
“This is… strange…” She noted, “This is the one that fell off… the day he woke up… I wonder where he got it from… and… what was he doing with it?”
“Maybe he wanted to give it back?” Tee Chee suggested. Chica shook her head.
“No… he wouldn’t have just ran away from me… and he would have told T-Fox before detaching himself from her… no… this has some deeper meaning… Hey, Tee Chee, go get Foxy, he might understand this better…” Said Chica. Tee Chee nodded, standing up and leaving the room.
“W-w-where did he go? Mangle… please come back…” T-Fox said. She stared into the vent with a longing look on her snout. Chica patted her head slightly, trying to sympathize.
“Hmm….” Foxy said. “So ye say that he be holdin Bonnie’s arm, then ran when you tried to catch him?”
“Yes!” Tee Chee said.
“Alright, where be Bonnie then? He be where left him?”
“...no…” Chica said, making Freddy perk up an eyebrow.
“What do you mean? No, where? Where is he?!” Freddy said, looking over behind the crate where he had sat him. “Now he’s lost!” He walked directly in front of Chica, making her shrink down under his towering height “AND WHERE IS HE, WHERE IS YOUR BROTHER!?”
“He’s not there! Seriously! I can’t find him anywhere!” Chica said with a huff. She pushed Freddy off of her, She grumbled “You need to calm down! He’s gotta be somewhere!”
“Don’t you tell me to calm down!” Freddy yelled back. Chica turned away, walking over to the box and looking around it for anything.Strangely, the Bunny was gone, as she had said. He left no trace, no broken wires, or plastic, metal, anything. “I just don’t get it… he was deactivated… and broken…. how could he had moved while he was broken?!”
“I don’t be knowin lass… but… mangle had his arm, aye? So maybe… what if he tried to fix him? Succeeded even? He could be walking around while we be here freaking over him!” Foxy suggested, they all looked at him with a surprised expression.
“Actually you might be right…” Tee Chee said. “But… why would he run from us? I don’t see how that might help him… at all…”
“This is true… but maybe he be lookin for more parts… for em’. In my opinion, we should just leave em’ alone for now. Oh be knowin? Maybe he’ll come around… maybe…” They all nodded, taking Foxy’s advice. Normally, he was right. Normally.
After a week, they had spotted him three more times.The first time was when Toy Chica went into the kitchen, and she noticed some scratching and whispering.
“H-Hello?” She said to no one in particular, only to whomever was moving around. She then saw his head poke up from beyond the table. He screamed at her, making her jump and fall backward. She quickly stood back up, running over to him.
“Come back here!” She said, reaching out to him before he could get to the vent. She actually got a grip on him, bringing him up to her face.
“What are you doing here?! What were you doing with-” She yelped, dropping him after he bit her hand. She stomped her foot into the ground, rubbing her hand as the pain seared.
The second time, Toy Bonnie was sitting on stage practicing his guitar. He felt something tugging on his back, when he turned to see Mangle sitting there, his hands reaching up towards his face.
“Ack!” Green yelled, nearly falling off stage as the Mangle jumped onto his face. Luckily for Green, Teddy was fairly close by when Mangle jumped, and was their in a flash to rip him off of Green.
“Get him…” Green said, rubbing his face. He felt a few cracks along the sides, making him shiver. Teddy grumbled as he heard him climbing up into the vents.
For the final time, in kids cove, Foxy sat with Chica, speaking softly with her as he hear a light metal scrape come from the vents above them.
“What was that… was that Mangle?” Chica asked, looking over at Foxy. He was already standing up, looking up at the vent. He heard the scrape slide against the metal, then finally out at the exit by the present. It quietly shuffled over to the box, pulling open the lid. It looked inside, gently searching for something.
“Hey!” Foxy said, running over to it. It had already grabbed something out of the box and yelped running into the vent before Foxy even got to the box.
“What is with him? This is… what is he…” Said Chica, she shook nervously, looking at Foxy for condolence.
“Chica… I’ll stand here by the exit. Should go back to the basement and check there. We need to know what he’s doing. Alright lass?”
“A-Alright.” She said, running as fast as she could towards the basement. Bounding down the stars and finally running into the room at the end of the hallway, she saw something unexpected. Her gears stopped, and her face fell.
“And who is that? One of your friends?” A familiar voice said.
“No… I don’t know them… not really.”
“Well…” Bonnie said, stepping out from behind a yellow, very broken rabbit that stood in front of him. “Let me just ask her myself.”
