A Veteran in FNIA

Lights out

Jackson's POV

What the hell? Is the power out already? I must have used too much power for the metal welder, power tools and melting sadder while fixing Mangle. I really don't have time for this shit. Thankfully my improvised headlight is still working. No matter. Look around while moving quickly to the hallway, I confirm everyone position. Foxy moved close to the other halfway close to Pirate Cove. Bonnie left, probably on her way back to Chica and Freddy is…not on stage anymore. Before I knew it lights from nowhere illuminates her as she stands in the distance, all while some sort of musical team is playing.

I instinctively took aim. "Okay now, stay right! I ain't here to hurt nobody! But I'm also not planning on dying tonight! So how about we all just go back to our places and call it a night okay!" I yelled out but she didn't seem to respond. In an instant the lights surrounding Freddy go off and she is suddenly in front of me. I'm fast but not enough to react. She grabbed me by the shit and tossed me over to the stage. The impact nearly knocked the wind out of me. I get up to my feet only to up and onto the stage after Freddy dashed towards me. I took a few shots as I step a few feet back

*bang*bang*bang*

She just dodges them effortlessly as she makes her advance. I keep shooting even though I knew nothing was going to happen. Once I gun was empty I threw the gun at her and got my knife ready in my right hand. She lunged at me again. I dodge her attack and take up an defense position. She looks at me with hungry eyes and a sinister smile. This time she walks up to me and starts throwing punches. I'm surprised that I can dodge them more or less effortlessly. The reason why is that her fighting style isn't actually much other than putting too much strength and hope anyone swing. In other words, she's slowl and uncoordinated. Definitely no martial artist. Yet, in spite of this she still manages to stand her ground every time I try to attack. Whether she's doing it by dodging or blocking I can't get close to her with the knife.

Just as I start to believe that we're eventually mached she pulls out a move that I had only used moments ago. She got past my knife by redirecting the floor of my truck leaving me open for a punch to the face. Luckily I caught a fist with my left hand . "I see that you're learning. As terrifying as it seems I can help but be amazed as an engineer. Whoever programmed your AI must have been a genius, and a mad one at that," I say before I backed off for a bit. She seems to be smiling at my comment. "Your not like the others are you? You didn't show any hint of fear, which I'm surprised that the are others showed any at all," I started talking, "You seem frustrated and angry. Not just now but when we first met too yesterday afternoon. The other, other than Foxy and Mangle seemed quiet friendly at first. You were just so rude. Why?" I finally wiped the smile off her face as she runs at me.

Sadly I was yet again no fast enough. She picked me up and rammed me into the wall. She continues by picking me up by the throat held me up. Then she starts to smile again as she looks around at the other girls. It seems Bonnie managed to dislodge the bullet stuck in Chica and helped her walk over here. Foxy on the other hand had Mangle in her arms as he came from the hallway. "What you girls think I should do with him? Smother him to death with my chest? Crash his skull between my thighs? Or…"

"Oh for the love of…just snap my neck or stab my heart with my own knife! If I'm finally going to die I at least want to go with my dignity still intact!" I yelled at her. By now I didn't even care about surviving anymore. I've been beaten and it's time for my life to end.

"Wait? What do you mean by finely?" Freddy asked.

"Are you serious? Look at me! Do you really think I want to go on like this!?" I angrily yelled at her. Right there she dropped me and stood back while the others came forward. She picked up the flashlight that used to be strapped to my hat and shined it on me. What they saw wasn't what they were expecting guess. There in front of them all I lade on the floor with my clothes torn apart and my sunglasses missing. They saw all of me.

"Yo…your mis…missing a…"

"Yeah I know. One arm, one eye and two legs," I say and I look my prosthetic limbs over. My prosthetic left arm richest from my hand all the way up to my shoulder, while my left leg is missing a few inches below my knee while my right leg is messing up to a few inches above my knee, and my left eye socket is completely hollow. Gifts from my last tour in Afghanistan including multiple scars of a wide variety across my whole body. "So what now, Terminator? Are you going to finish what you started? Are you finally going to kill this already dead soldier?" I asked her. With those words Bonnie gasps. I'm guessing she finally understood what I told her earlier. None of them responded though. They just came closer to inspect my prospects. I don't blame them. I made these myself, and they are very similar to there robotic limbs with the exception of biological compatibility. I just laid there. I couldn't do much of anything since the exterior spinal cord implant the connect to my prospects are out of alignment. Meaning I'm everything mechanical attached to my body is Paralyzed.

As they continue to curiously look at my machinery Mangle starts to wake up. She looked around all confused like she just woke from a deep sleep. Though she was quick to react when she saw me. Before I could even yell she pounced on me and started huge me in a warm embrace. "Oh thank you! Thank you! Thank you, Mr Night Guard!" Mangle yelled in pure joy and gratitude. This shocked the girls just as much as me. Though I thank for the hug as it snapped my external spinal cord back into place, giving me the chance to hug her back. "You took such a big risk leaving your office and to come and fix me, even though the regular mechanic said that I'm unrepairable. You did it anyway…you fix me and made me better and stronger so that those kids and pervs can't…can't…" she can't finish the horrible thought of what she went through. I just nod and comforter. I mean I had to. The moment I started working on he she became my responsibility, my pet Project, my girl.

"I know, I know. Just take it easy, little fox. It's all going to be okay," I told her. I can feel her cheeks hear up but still she won't let go. I look up at the other and by there faces I can tell that I've got a lot of explaining to do.

To be continued.
