2050 [REWRITTEN]

Part 3: The Rainbow Phoenix

Bonnie took a seat on the hospital bed, right on top of Ryobl, cutting off his breath and waking him from his coma. "You know- what was it? Ryobl?" Bonnie said, "You're not too different from us, being a Phoenix. You also had to endure the burden of your destiny at a young age. Having to save a world that your spirit doesn't even belong to." Ryobl tried to sit up, but a wave of pain was sent rocketing through his body and he quickly laid back down. How long had he been there? Hours? Days? Weeks? Months even? No, from the way his wounds pained him, he couldn't have been there long- but even so, his speed healing should have kicked in by now. So why wasn't it? Bonnie got up and turned around to face the door, which gave Ryobl the opportunity to get up and walk to the window. Bonnie turned back around, "Ryobl- RYOBL WHAT ARE YOU DOING-" the bandaged up Red Phoenix dropped out of the window headfirst, and when Bonnie ran to it, he was gone. "What the hell-'' she looked down, searching for him just as SpringTrap walked into the room "Where is he? We put him in here, didn't we?" he asked while scratching his ear, "He dropped out, I don't know where he went to." she said. "With his injuries!? How did he survive that fall?" SpringTrap looked taken aback before he shook his head and jumped into the window, "To the east is the beach, so he wouldn't have gone that way. There's nothing to the south other than a few run down settlements, so the only ways he would have logically gone would be north or west. You head west, I'll head north, got it?" Bonnie nodded and jumped out of the window just after he did.
    SpringTrap jumped across the rooftops in search for Ryobl, he couldn't let him get away. If he knew where the school was, then he surely knew where he and his family and friends lived now. It could endanger them all if he didn't catch him in time. SpringTrap jumped over a wide alleyway when he caught a glimpse of something red to his right "What the-" he didn't make the entire jump but instead landed on the wall of the next building and began leaping from wall to wall, descending further until he hit the ground. Leaking from behind a dumpster was a pool of a substance. Blood. SpringTrap walked over to the dumpster and placed his hand on it, looking behind it. There sat Ryobl, covered in torn bandages that were now red with the blood that surrounded him. "Damn-" he said coughing, "Hurry up and kill me- I have failed my mission- I am of no use to my master anymore-" Ryobl removed his blood covered hand from his wound and winced. SpringTrap closed his smoking fist and walked up to Ryobl. His wounds were bad, but why wasn't he healing like he did before? And he seriously wanted to die? What horrible person was he working for? If he failed this one mission, what would they do to him? What had they already done to him? SpringTrap's mind was drowned in a mountain of questions that he needed answers to, so he picked up Ryobl and threw him over his shoulder. He wasn't one to attack an opponent while he was down, his family saw that as cowardly and spineless. "What are you doing, scum? Why are you doing this?" he asked weakly. SpringTrap looked over at Ryobl, a dark shadow casting over his face making only his one bright green eye visible, "Be grateful I didn't drown you in your own blood where no one could see." SpringTrap ran with Ryobl in his arms as green electricity surrounded him and he headed back home.

    "SpringTrap- Creeper- ARE YOU CRAZY!?" Freddy brought their hand down on his head, "WHY WOULD I EVEN THINK TO HEAL HIM!? I'M NOT EVEN SURE YOU'RE THINKING, SPRINGTRAP, HE NEARLY KILLED US!!" Jordan stood in the corner spinning her katana around, "They're right, dude. We had to actually work as a team to beat him, and that's a rare sight to see. Let me finish him off." she grasped her blade at the handle and began to approach Ryobl with a deadly aura as she ran her finger across the sharp edge. "I've got a score to settle with him." SpringTrap stood in front of him, arms spread out wide, acting as a shield for him. "Jordan, he may be valuable to us" he said with desperation in his voice, "And if he isn't? He could just be some low level lackey who knows nothing." Jordan was slightly taller than SpringTrap, even though he was near six feet. SpringTrap had to look up at her when they were face to face. "We won't know that until we investigate, besides, if he doesn't know anything-'' SpringTrap summoned a giant silver sword with a green handle, "I'll get rid of him. Besides, my white steel is easier to clean." Jordan scoffed and walked away, going to make some coffee. SpringTrap was someone she couldn't win against in an argument, even if she had Alex backing her up. The idiot was just too darn persistent. "SpringTrap, we already poked around in his mind to look for his name." Ari said, "We couldn't have missed anything else important!" Ryobl stood up. "Um- guys-" Kya said nervously, "Not now, Kya I'm b-" SpringTrap's words were quickly cut short as a massive gust of wind sent tables and chairs flying, "THIS IS SOME STUPID CRAP!!" Alex screamed, "I THINK THE CRAP'S ABOUT TO GET STUPIDER ALEX!!" Freddy yelled over the wind. "OH COME ON!!" Alex responded as Ryobl's electricity flickered around his body and condensed into his left palm. He looked over to Alex and gritted his teeth, "You're way too loud." The red electricity that had condensed in his hand went straight into the floor and began moving toward Alex, arching up and down from the ground. "Red Lightning." Alex screamed, she was so frozen with fear she couldn't move as the attack approached her. "YOU. DAMN. JERK!!" Alex summoned a giant blood red ax that made Ryobl's eyes go wide as she tried to bring it down on the attack. But before she could, a black boot kicked her out of the way, "DON'T BE SO STUPID!!" Mr. Creeper screamed as he slammed his open palm into the ground, making vines sprout up from the floor and counter the attack as they headed for Ryobl. "Crap-" Ryobl jumped out of the way and burst out of the door, "GO!!" Mr. Creeper ordered, "I'VE GOT ALEX, JUST CHASE HIM '' SpringTrap ran out the door, Jordan kicked through the window followed by Foxy, and Kya and the others also ran out the door. They all chased Ryobl desperately, "JORDAN- AH- '' SpringTrap screamed as Jordan kicked him in the back, propelling him forward allowing him to tackle Ryobl to the ground. "Stay still you cherry shit-" he grunted as he struggled to keep him pinned, "GET HIM!!" Ari screamed at Jordan who quickly responded by charging SpringTrap, flipping him onto his back and stepping on his throat before jumping into a front flip and landing on Ryobl, stabbing her katana into his right eye. "YO, J', NO'' Kya shouted, "J' yes!!" She said as she twisted the katana in his eye socket, pulling it out of his head by slashing to the side, splattering blood everywhere. "Phew-" she sighed, "done" but Jordan was far from done, as Ryobl grabbed her arm and flipped onto her back, breaking her bones like twigs. "Why can't you die!?" SpringTrap regained consciousness and got on all fours, gasping for air before he looked up at Jordan and Ryobl. Kya jumped up, her eyes were filled with rage as her hair began to thrash wildly, as if it was a living creature attached to her body. Her hair unexpectedly wrapped around Ryobl's arms and legs and pulled her toward him, allowing her to land a devastating kick to his face with both legs. "COULD YOU PEOPLE BE ANYMORE ANNOYING!?" he screamed, "A METRIC CRAPTON MORE!!" Bonnie screamed as she landed a full powered punch to his jaw. Ryobl was starting to lose consciousness from that one. Freddy headbutted him, leaving an opening for Foxy to rush in and wrap chains around him. His vision blurred from the damage he was sustaining. In a last desperate attempt, Ryobl summoned a giant blood red ax and surrounded it with red electricity and threw it at the near unconscious SpringTrap. "SHIT-" Foxy shouted as he jumped up, trying to stop it, "DON'T!!" Bonnie yelled as Freddy also went to save him. What happened next was unexpected, but only to everyone except Mr. Creeper who spectated from the window. SpringTrap let out a furious roar as electricity began swirling around him. But soon enough, it wasn't just green, it was also purple, blue, and yellow. They began surrounding him like a fierce tornado of colors, drowning out his screams of rage with the sound of roaring wind. The tornado dispersed and he stood in the middle of terrain that had been cracked by the pressure of the furious light show. Foxy stopped in his tracks, causing Freddy to bump into him and also come to a halt "Wh-What is that-'' SpringTrap had his back turned to the others, wiping blood away from his throat but that isn't what they were focusing on. No, they were focusing on his hair, his bright rainbow hair that seemed to float, and his aura that radiated a combined power. SpringTrap held up the hand that he used to wipe the blood from his throat and clenched it in his fist. "Look-" SpringTrap said roughly as he turned around, still having clear damage to his throat and vocal chords, "I said be grateful that I didn't kill you in that alleyway- but now I'm really starting to regret making such a foolish decision." SpringTrap began walking towards Ryobl which gave Jordan the opportunity to flip Ryobl onto his back. "S-Shit-" he kicked her in the liver, making her stumble backwards and lose consciousness as he stood on his feet, "You f-" a rainbow flash whizzed right past Ryobl, stunning him. He looked behind him to his right to see SpringTrap rest Jordan's head on the ground and glare at him. Ryobl suddenly felt a sharp pain in his chest, making him look down. "What- the hell-'' he spat out blood as he removed his hands from the hole in his chest, caused by SpringTrap's sword that he was holding and then made it quickly disperse from his hands. Before Ryobl fell, SpringTrap quickly flashed past him, slicing his head clean off.
Ryobl's head quickly reattached before a single drop of blood even hit the floor and he stood on his feet and quickly ran towards SpringTrap, spinning his ax in his hand before he threw it. SpringTrap swatted it away like a bug and burst towards Ryobl, dodging shots of lightning, and his ax that kept coming back like a boomerang. Ryobl and SpringTrap eventually got face to face, before SpringTrap jumped up, and Ryobl slid under him. He got on his feet as SpringTrap stayed in the air and they both cried out before summoning their weapons and throwing them at each other, causing them to collide and come back to them, making them repeat this process, getting faster and faster each time. They both eventually summoned another one of their weapons, this put obvious strain on SpringTrap's body but his new form let him do this. The throws and rebounds got faster, eventually causing bursts of wind every time they collided, pushing back everyone who couldn't do anything but watch the intense battle. No one could say anything, as the wind had gotten so loud it drowned out all of their voices. The voices that were heard though, were SpringTrap and Ryobl's simultaneous roars as they pushed away their own weapons, making them cause destruction in the distance as the two charged each other, locking hands and trying to push the other back. SpringTrap screamed as he pushed Ryobl into the ground, making it crack. Ryobl did the same and headbutted him hard enough to make him bleed. Blood dripped down the front of SpringTrap's face, making him grin as he flipped onto his back, making Ryobl fall on top of him before Ryobl hopped up and flipped SpringTrap onto his back, knocking the wind out of him. SpringTrap spun onto his feet, kicking Ryobl in the face and releasing his aura, pushing him back. SpringTrap and Ryobl both stood still, staring at each other so intensively, that they could have burned holes through each other's faces. "Foxy, Bonnie, Freddy, help Jordan and Ari get inside" SpringTrap said, "We can help, idiot!" Ari yelled at him, "No one said you could open your filthy Almi mouth." Ryobl threw his ax at Ari with a single hand, aiming for her throat. SpringTrap started to vibrate intensely, and suddenly Ryobl was in the path of his own ax just before it sliced him in half at the torso. "GAH-" he screamed, "YOU- FILTHY- BASTARD!!" SpringTrap screamed, filled with more rage than anyone had ever seen before. He appeared above Ryobl and the other half of his body and did a split kick, putting them far apart from each other as he landed on his hand and spun on it, causing a gust of wind to blow them further away from each other. Ryobl's ax came spinning back to him, nearly cutting SpringTrap's head off, and giving Ryobl a chance to reattach his body. SpringTrap grabbed Ryobl's ax right out of the air and brought it down on his head, but it never connected. Instead, a figure in all black was holding the ax up, stopping it right before Ryobl was killed. "Who the hell are you?" he asked, pissed off that he'd interrupted his finishing blow. The figure held his hand up, extended his index and thumb finger into an L, and pressed his thumb to his forehead. "What?" The figure suddenly disappeared in a puff of smoke, along with Ryobl.
