Just a Robot 5 (A Fnaf Story)

Chapter 51: "All I Have Left"

Michael's P.O.V

I felt my conscious return to this world, back to reality. I opened my eyes to see the grass, making me realize I was on the ground and had fallen unconscious again, almost forgetting what I had experienced with just a memory. I slowly moved my body off the ground as I stood up now, all alone with nobody in sight from what I could tell. That memory, that was the last one I was missing. The missing pieces of my life we're now put together to form my entire life. Now I knew why these last few were missing and what they meant to me; Elizabeth still cared for me and she was just like me, a victim of our father's doing to act as pawns. I had to be the one to save her. I looked around, remembering I was chasing after Bon Bon after he pursed my sister and since I had no idea how long I was out for he probably had already engaged in a battle with her. I had to find him and quick before the worst would happen to him. Suddenly I felt like there was another presence nearby, like I was being watched as I turned behind me now. My hunch was right as I found RXQ, standing a distance away from me as he seemed to be expecting me to notice him. "John," I said at once. "Hello Springtrap. Or I guess I should address you as Michael, since you're addressing me by my real name," responded John. "We never got the chance to properly talk with one another since we encountered each other at the pizzeria and our encounter a few weeks back." "Agreed. Much has changed since that time," I responded. "I can tell by your attitude and how your father informed me and everyone else you had defeated the Purple Guy left in you, along with any intent of revenge for what I did to Frank," said RXQ. "I can't forgive you for that, especially since he was like a brother to you. However I can't let the hate I had control my actions and pursue revenge against you for that," I responded. "Still, why did you do it? After everything the both of you have been through? Why work with my father? He may have played a part in your demise because of me but I still was the one that tampered with the Springlock suits that got you and Frank killed. If anything I'm the one to blame for your current state and I have no excuse for what I did, even if my father was pulling the strings." Even after everything I had been through I still felt guilty about how much I had done as my time as Purple Guy, not just with all the children I murdered but with people like Frank and John who died because of me. I was the one that had the blood on my hands as well, not just my father. "Michael, I don't blame you. I never have," responded John. I was surprised by his response, not just because he was so forgiving but due to how calm and collected he was. He was never like this with every encounter involving him. Was this his real side?

"During my time spent working with your father I realized you weren't the one pulling the strings, even if you were the one that played a part in me and Frank's demise. It also didn't take me long to realize what your father was planning, and so I had to betray Frank so he would be convinced I was on his side," said John. "Then you're not on my father's side, are you?" I asked. "No. All I wanted was to get my old body back and not this... shadow. I had to obey his ever order and I couldn't refuse with how close I had gotten to that point," he continued. "Is that why you killed John?" I asked. "I had to! If I didn't he would kill me and John would still be stuck here like me! Just a shadow trapped in this world with nothing but to view the world without being able to live in it! All I wanted was for him and me to be free!" he exclaimed. I could tell he was hurting, being stuck like a shadow for so many years and not being able to move on from this life or find peace. He was just like me. "You didn't have to kill him though? He could've carried out your wishes," I pointed out. "It wouldn't have mattered! You should know what you're father is capable of, what he would do to me if I didn't prove myself to him! He specifically wanted me to end his life to prove my loyalty! He made me kill my friend, a friend that was like a brother to me!" he exclaimed. "My father... targeted him?" I asked surprised to learn this. "Yeah... That was my secondary task when I hunted you and your team. I did what I had to do... even if it hurt... even if it still does... " he responded. "John... I... I hate to say this, but there just no way you'll ever become human again," I said. "No! I will! I have to! You saw what happened with your mother, she's alive! Your father brought her soul back and planted it in that Ballora's body so she could live!" he exclaimed. "That's not possible," I said still not convinced my mother was brought back from the dead. "You know it's possible! You've seen itself with your father having the children souls you killed be transferred over to animatronic bodies! Just like you! He might even be able to bring you mom's human body back to life!" he exclaimed. "What do you mean?" I asked confused. "He brought your mom back to life by transferring her soul from her body. It seems he had her soul for years now and I think he's been waiting to bring her back ever since, I don't know why but he chose now, probably since his plans are almost complete," he explained. "Still, he can do anything! The things he's able to achieve is endless and I'm sure he can bring my human body and transfer my soul back into it! I'm sure of it! I just want to be human again, I have to be!" "John... My mother... That thing is not my mother it's just a memory of her, a failed attempt at recreating her. If my father cared about her he wouldn't bring her back and put her soul in an animatronic, he could try to bring her human body back to life. You can't bring a dead person back to life or regain your body," I stated. "But... the Resurrection Power!" he tried to say. "Can't bring your body back to life. The best thing I could suggest at having a true body and life again would be putting your soul into an animatronic or robotic body, that's it. I'm sorry but you can't become human again. You're old life is gone," I said immediately. John looked so destroyed; everything he had been striving for was all a lie and for nothing. "That doesn't mean you have to work for him, even if you're only using him for own goals. You know the world is at stake along with everyone that doesn't follow under him, what good will having a life do if there isn't a world to do whatever with your life with?" I continued. "We need to know what he is doing, what my father's goals are. You have to tell me." "I can't. He doesn't want you and your friends to find out until he probably shows it off in a day to the world. He'll know and figure out one of his subordinates is a traitor and leaked that information, and realize it was me. All I can say is what he's going to do is unimaginable, all those years have lead up to something big and you'll know what I mean when you witness itself yourself. I know he's going to change the world, just not what you would think. I think he's even left out details he hasn't even told me and his other trusted subordinates, not even your sister. He's still hiding something. That's why I trust you and your friends to defeat him, you have to. Still, I'm getting my life back no matter what. It's all I have left," explained John. "I'm sorry, I can't join you. Not until I get my life back. Elizabeth is nearby with Bon Bon and they've already engaged in a heated battle, though I can't let you reach them. Not before we battle." "You don't have to do this. We don't have to fight," I pleaded. "I don't have any other choice. If I let you walk over there like nothing happened, your sister and father will be suspicious of me and I'll be done for. I can't hold back so do the same and go all out... for both our sakes," he responded. I knew there wasn't any way to change his mind; he was set on getting his life back. This whole time he playing my father's side, all just to get his life back for him and Frank. Yet it came at a cost, the loss of Frank. It was clear he felt guilty about killing him and wanted to make amends for doing such a thing, and I didn't blame him for regardless of his choice. If I had the opportunity to go back to my old of being a human, maybe having an actual life I would go for it. Then was that possible due to my father, or was something more going on here?
