Withered: A Spingtrap x Mangle story

The Heroic act of Mangle

Mangle: I'm still stuck in the safe room with Springtrap. He's not that bad once you get to know him. When he turns to Fritz he said I should hide in the vent in the ceiling. I missed my friends and I wanted to get out, but something made me want to stay. I just couldn't put my finger on it. Could it be, no it couldn't be Springtrap. Yet, he is nice, and he is kinda cute. I looked over at him and he was sleeping. "Awww Springy looks so cute!" I thought to myself. "I wonder what he's dreaming about right now. Probably something peaceful.

Springtrap: As I sleep, Fritz battles me in my head trying to take control and wake me up. When he first did it, he took full control of me for a day. That's why I need to keep him in check. Fritz and I battled constantly for control. As we fought, I slammed him into a wall.

"Heh" he said quietly. "You think you've won because you beat me do you?"

"Uh, yeah." I responded. "Look around you. You lost. You're weaker than ever before now that I have Mangle by my side!" 

"Oh but you're not the only one with an ally." he laughed. Suddenly, behind me a black tornado started to swirl. It was heading for me. I started to run away from it. I turned the corner of the show stage and bounded into the kitchen.

"Hello, Springtrap. Fritz has told me so much about you." paid a low, voice with a monstrous accent. The tornado stopped swirling and there, standing before me, was an animatronic I had never seen before. Tall a wide, black in color. He had a golden bow tie and a golden hat. Two rows of razor sharp teeth. Claws on his hands and a mouth on his stomach.

Mangle: As I watched Springtrap sleep, he awoke with a terrified look in his eyes. "Springtrap are you okay?" 

"Yeah, yeah I'm fine Mangle." but they way he shuddered, I knew he was lying.

"Springtrap..." I said trying to urge him to tell me.

"Fine fine fine fine finety fine fine!" he said annoyed. He sighed before he started to talk. "When I sleep, Fritz trys to take over my body so he can move me around as I sleep. Last night, when I beat him, he said he had an ally. It came towards me in a black tornado and he revealed himself. He was big, tall, black and creepy."

"Do you know who he is?" I asked hoping this monster wouldn't be a threat.

"I have no idea, but I know he's powerful." he said and looked down. "I'm sorry Mangle." 

My ears raised in surprise and question. "For what Springy?"

He looked at me with concerned look. "As long as you're staying with me, you're in danger. I know a secret exit but I need to hold Fritz from being able to look through my ey-" Springtrap doubled over and fell on the ground. I rushed to his side. 

"Springtrap? Springtrap!?" I yelled as he started to stir.

"Heh," he said as he got up. Something about him didn't seem right. He seemed bigger, scarier. Then I noticed it: his eyes. They were purple that could only mean one thing: Fritz. They flashed brightly purple and blinded me for a second.

"Why don't I show the toys why they call you 'The Mangle' sweetheart!" he said as he stomped on my circuits, and broke my limbs.

"Springtrap! Wake up! Fight it!" I yelled as I dodged another attack.

"He's not coming back Mangle. Not as long as I have my ally!" he said as he cackled. Then I remembered: The Marionette.

"You're not the only one with an ally!" I yelled as I ran out the door to the safe room.

"Foolish girl. You've freed me!!" he cackled! "Now I'll burn this pizzeria to the ground!"

"Puppet!" I screamed. He appeared and saw Springtrap he threw a black ball of energy at him. He flew back into a wall and slumped over. The Puppet was ready was ready to finish him off with a giant ball of dark energy but I stepped in front of him. "Don't you see Puppet? Springtrap and Fritz are two different personalities! Can't you erase the Fritz side?" I said to him as I stood, my arms straight out blocking Springtrap from the Puppet.

"I, can." he said surprised. The Puppet looked from me to Springtrap.

"Well do it!" I screamed.

"I can't." said the Puppet shaking his head.

"Why not?!" I yelled angrily.

"He's locked in a mental battle with Fritz."
