Chapter Seven :: Mutation

(Bon-Bon POV)

Oh, this was the dumbest idea, I thought as I was swung into the air and batted back down by the wires protruding from Ballora's faceplates. It was a grotesque sight along with the way she crawled like a spider when not on her track, really, but I didn't have time to process it over the cracking of my... spine? I wasn't sure.

"P̶l̸e̴as̵e̸ ̶bre̷a̶k̴ me̴-- ̵D̵I̸E̵.̷" Ballora's voice mixed in with an almost demonic sounding, static filled voice. It caught me off guard and I was once again thrown into the air. I definitely wasn't built for fighting. Suddenly I heard a loud scream and the parts and service door was thrown open. Freddy. Wait-- He has Y/N!

"Fred--" A wire wrapped around my mouth, basically gagging me and stopping me from talking. If he had Y/N... He could possibly hurt them

"G-G-Get off of him, Ballora!" Freddy growled, looking just about ready to snap. He couldn't go into nightmare mode. Not now. Ballora laughed. It didn't sound like her.

"N̶e̶v̵e̴r̸.̴" She opened her eyes. She never opened her eyes. They were small and red, glowing as well. It looked so scary with everything else happening.

"Ballora, I think you need to calm down!" I managed to say when she loosened her grip on me. She glared, but she didn't tighten her grip at all. She seemed to be struggling against herself. Her programming. Was that even what it was?

"D-Don't make me repeat mys-s-self, Ballora!" Freddy was growing increasingly more angry the longer I was wrapped in wires, and I couldn't risk an innocent child getting hurt because of his protectiveness... and my carelessness. I also couldn't let Ballora know that Freddy was hiding a child in his storage bank.

"Freddy, go back to your stage! Everything is okay!"

"Sh-Shut up, B-B-Bon-Bon! You're defenseless!" He wasn't backing down, then. He usually wasn't this reckless around kids and I wondered what was causing him to be that way. "Where are B-Baby and Foxy?"

"T̶h̴e̷y̸'̵r̷e̵ ̷g̴o̷n̷e̵.̶.̶.̴" Ballora was seemingly able to speak again. She wrapped another wire around me and lifted me up to dangle me in the air.

"Hey--!"

"C̸o̶m̵e̶ ̴a̸n̶d̷ ̸g̶e̷t̵ ̷h̸i̷m̸,̸ ̷F̸r̷e̵d̶d̸y̸!̷" Ballora taunted. Was this... Was this even Ballora? This went far past the extent of her programs, it seemed. Maybe it was a violent mutation. Well, I didn't really have the time to think about that as I was swinging through the air... watching Freddy suddenly lunge towards me. He managed to swipe at Ballora, catching her off guard. She dropped me and the two she was hanging from the ceiling. Did I mention that she was hanging Foxy and Baby by the ceiling? There was a sound of surprise from Freddy when they fell, nearly breaking as they hit the ground. Luckily the ceiling wasn't far from the ground, but one of Baby's faceplates fell off and Foxy's tail bent horribly. "Help̸.̵.̶.̷" Ballora suddenly shut down, collapsing along with all the wires around her. I pushed myself off the ground and hopped over to Freddy, wrapping my arms around his leg.

"Freddy! You could have hurt Y/N!" I cried, unable to say thank you in the way that I wanted. Baby got up off of the ground and as soon as she was looking down at Freddy, he cowered a little.

"You put them at risk of Ballora?" Her voice was low and I could swear that her eyes were glowing brighter than usual.

"N-N-N-No!" Freddy stammered out. "They're h-hiding with L-Laven-nd-d-der!" I managed to make my way up to Freddy's hand and I reattached myself to where I was supposed to be.

"That's still incredibly dangerous, my friend! They could have been found." Foxy interjected without even looking up, his ear flicking as he tried to fix his tail.

"I would n-never p-p-put them in danger!" Freddy sounded genuinely upset. He really didn't mean any harm. Baby sighed and reached up to run her hand over her faceplates. She stopped at the one that was missing and looked around.

"Alright, alright. Fine." She didn't seem to find what she was looking for before turning to look down at Ballora's lifeless body. Foxy did the same, her hand flying over her mouth.

"Oh, dear! This is... what happened to her? She was never this violent, especially to other animatronics." Foxy sounded troubled.

"I'm sure it will all turn out fine, Foxy. This is all just one big misunderstanding, I think. A possible mutation in her code?" I suggested. I didn't really know either.

"I don't think it's even Ballora. She would never act like this... that's not what her programming called for." Baby shook her head. "That is unimportant, though. We need to go find Y/N so we can find a better way to protect them. 'Ballora' was close, and I don't want them to be hurt." There was a silent moment that Baby seemed to take as an invitation to push past Freddy and I to get to parts and service. She really cared about Y/N... I could only hope that it wouldn't be her downfall.

Question Of the Chapter (QOTC): Favorite FNAF game?

Answer of the Chapter (AOTC): My favorite FNAF game is probably either FNAF 2 or even the original game, but I also really like Sister Location. It's kind of hard to decide since all the games are good but... I think that FNAF 2 takes this one followed very closely by FNAF 1. I mean... that could change when Security Breach comes out, since the trailer looks pretty cool. But we'll see.
