Just a Robot 4 (Fnaf World)

Chapter 31: We're A Family

Springtrap's P.O.V

I guess I can be thankful that the sounds of enemies approaching broke off the tension for the moment. Though it would return after our fight, stronger than what it was before. Strong enough to divide us further.

All of us listened to the sounds touching the ground that was incoming, hearing the metal of robots clamp like the machinery it was built on. "Any visuals?" asked Mangle. "Nothing yet," responded Bonnie as him and all of us stared at the direction the noises were coming from. I stared as well while squinting my eyes to focus on what was coming. "Dang things haven't shown themselves yet," said Phantom Foxy. "They want us to fear the unknown," added in Nightmare Fredbear. A moment later two weird looking things jumped from around the corner, as that was their source of movement. "Uh oh! Should've remembered Tombstacks roamed this mine," said Springbonnie. "Look likes a thing with a face of a mouse to me," said Phantom Foxy. "Should've brought more reinforcements." "There's another pair of footsteps coming around the corner," I said. As soon as I said that something came from around the other side of the hallway. "Oh. It's this one," I said to myself. Walking towards us was Withered Chica, a broken version to remind me of the tragedy at the first ever Freddy Fazbear's Pizza before the other locations raised from the ashes of that locations closure. This whole nightmare of the franchise was just avoiding a formal closure itself. "Withered Chica. Something different to feel fear from," I said. "Phantoms, nightmares. Deal with the Tombstacks. Withered Chica is our responsibility," said Mangle. "You assigned us an easy task, and yet you expect so much from us," said Phantom Freddy. "Then give them a proper definition of victory," she responded. "Give us a challenge by letting us fight Withered Chica and we'll prove to be something," said Phantom Foxy. "Permission denied," she responded. "You hold back our way of being who we are. We cannot accept that," said Nightmare. "Mangle. I don't think this is the right time," said Bonnie. "It's these four that think this is a prefect time to deny an order," responded Mangle. "If she wants to be glitched I may as well embrace it. The enemies are proceeding with hostility," said Springbonnie staring straight ahead where Withered Chica and Tombstacks were rushing us from. "I don't take orders from someone who disowns others. Besides, I rather die a third time than listen to you," responded Phantom Foxy. "He does have a point," said Springbonnie standing near the both of them. "They're closing in!" exclaimed Chica. "#$%&!. If you won't lead us  than I'm forced to defend the team," I responded standing in front of everyone. As Withered Chica was close to us I used my Springlocks on her, while she fell down from it. "Bonnie and Springbonnie focus your attacks on the two Tombstacks!" commanded Mangle as she pushed me put of her way. "So what happened to letting the nightmares and phantoms deal with the minor enemies?" asked Springbonnie. "Who said they were going to not stick with their task?" asked Mangle. "Us!" yelled Phantom Foxy as him, Phantom Freddy, Nightmare Fredbear, and Nightmare ran past us all and towards Withered Chica. "All of you, return here at once!" she called out. "There's no point in barking orders, they're just wild animals that need to be reasoned with. And with yourself," I said. "Why don't you join them then?" she asked. "I'm not one of them, and I don't intend to be," I responded. They're not my friends. They're not my family. At least the one I desire." "Then prove it by helping your team," said Mangle. "I will. But not because of you, but because at least I have some consideration for them," I said as I walked past her and towards Bonnie, Springbonnie, and Chica. Both of the Tombstacks were weak, though they were far from being destroyed. Not unless they regained their strength and then the process would repeat all over again. "You're going to help us?" asked Bonnie noticing me. "Yes. Nobody forced me to help except myself," I responded. "Then we'll send them a letter go back to their tombs," said Springbonnie. A second after had she said that one of the Tombstacks hopped over to us as a way to strike a blow onto one of us. Only, it was going to receive one first. I used Rainy Day on it while Bonnie used Bash Jam on it. A moment later Springbonnie used Springlocks to inflict a piece of death onto it. While we were attacking it the second ran hopped to the side of me, as it jumped in the air to pounce on me. Though the leader was present to protect their team, just like they were obligated to do. A hook hit the thing as it fell down, while I turned around to see it was Mangle who had saved me. "Now we're even," she responded. "Springbonnie and Bonnie. Ring their heads together." "Now we're going to break the silence!" exclaimed Springbonnie while her and Bonnie got their guitars ready. As both of the Tombstacks got up Bonnie used Bash Jam while Springbonnie used Cosmic Song at the same time. As soon as their attacks hit both of them I used Bite on one of them. A second later both were on the ground in pieces, ready to be buried a second time. "Just like old time eh?" asked Springbonnie. "Just like it was hours ago," I responded. "What's the progress made by the others?" asked Chica. We all turned to the direction of where the others were. There was a huge battle still going on between the four of them and Withered Chica. However Withered Chica was soon going to be scrap because of them. "Embrace the living nightmare that lives in the back of your mind every night," said Nightmare as he used Toxic Bite on her. "Are you going to intervene?" asked Bonnie. "No. I'll let them have their play time, and a fresh punishment for them disobeying my command," said Mangle. "That's if you can control them," I added in. Phantom Freddy used Sludge as he released all of them onto her, while Nightmare Fredbear used Bad Pizza as well. Every single of them didn't bother to give the option of mercy to her. And in my eyes she deserved mercy for his innocence. Each and everyone was using their attack that it was hard to determine how much power was being inflicted onto her. "I can't keep up with who's using who's attack," said Bonnie. "Might lose your vision from it," said Springbonnie. A moment later the fighting had stopped with silence to takes it's place now. With the smoke clearing I was able to see Withered Chica on the ground defeated while the rest of them stood towering over her. "Eat that no arms!" exclaimed Phantom Foxy insulting her. "All of you back off now! We'll await for her to w-" Before Mangle had a chance to finish her sentence Nightmare grabbed Withered Chica off the ground and picked her up. "Drop her! She's not glitched anymore you idiot!" exclaimed Mangle. "This is the only way to extinguish any evil left in her," he said opening his mouth open. "Nightmare, drop her!" I said raising my tone and while walking towards him. He didn't react as I walked straight up to his face. "Now." Finally he dropped her on the ground while Bonnie and Chica walked up to her. "You see why I want these four gone? They don't follow a command given! All they want to be is reckless uncontrollable individuals that are asking for death," said Mangle. "And yet they only listen to you." "It's not my problem they look up to me! I never asked for them to respect me in the way they do, nor do I want to be with them!" I exclaimed back. "What! What's wrong with us?" asked Phantom Foxy. "I can't be reminded of my past, I need to fix the mistakes I created. And that's by starting to push back those who are apart of the past," I said. "Is that why you know them?" asked Chica. "I already spoke my concern on the matter. I rather be with Mangle's group than the others," I responded. "Then why do you choose to view me as a false leader?" asked Mangle. "Why do we continue to give life to the conversation?" We all turned around to the voice of someone that was speaking from their heart for once instead of their happiness. I never knew she had these type of feelings. "Springbonnie?" I asked. "You heard me. Why do we let this break the bond of trust? Why do we continue to act like children arguing about something not everyone cares about? Why can't we have a proper discussion on our problems instead of letting it divide us? We're a team, a group of people facing the impossible to erase that title and replace it with a new one," said Springbonnie. "We're a family." "Do we look like a happy one though?" I asked. "Most certainly not. Dread will always consume a family within itself. We're all animatronics here. Same bolts, same metal, same mind. And my mind is eager for adventure, whether we come back with are parts aligned or not," she said. "Fighting amongst ourselves isn't going to get us anywhere. If Springtrap didn't care for us or wasn't a valiant warrior he would've been with the phantoms and nightmares already. He stayed with our team. Our Family. He's one of us. And I'll do the honor of knocking myself out if I'm wrong." Nobody spoke a word, perhaps nothing had to be expressed at the moment. "Mangle, you're a good leader. But maybe there's something nobody understands about you that is hiding in your body that is a shell to you. The same goes for Springtrap. You're both are almost alike," she continued. A turned to look at Mangle as she looked at me for a second before looking away. "If you both haven't noticed, which nobody has bothered to check since we've constantly been attacked every minute. To the right is the entrance to the clock. Now I only ask you Mangle to give Springtrap permission to continue with his quest to whatever he has to do. Or you can halt it by accepting that you don't trust Springtrap as family. And that's different from being a friend." There was silence from Mangle as she looked down, not responding for the moment. Until her words showed her true nature. "His hard work was earned, and in return I grant him my appreciation. Let him continue with his destiny, while I follow mine," she responded looking down. I turned to the marking of the clock on the wall as I walked over to it. "Maybe there is redemption for her to lift and release the indifferent visions in her. Maybe there is a way to lift the demon in the depths of my leftover morality," I said to myself while walking to the entrance of the clock. "But without a doubt there will be no way to explain the true me to everyone without breaking a few hearts and trust towards me."
