Strike 10- Fight Night against Freddy 2

When Lightning Strikes- Fight Night against Freddy (Round 2)


        Lance’s body felt like it was aching all over when he regained consciousness. Feeling the carpet of the room with his hands, it felt a bit obvious that he wasn’t exactly outside like where he was with Xemnas and the others. His vision was blurred, but he was beginning to make out the sounds of voices.

        “What the hell!? Dude what the f*ck did you do!?”

        “I don’t know! I-I just thought it was a pin, I didn’t remember it was a token or anything!”

        Okay, so whoever brought him here knew about the Displaced and Tokens. That was a start.

        “Well what else could it have been!? Ponies don’t wear hairpins that often, and seriously where did you even get that!?”

        “I erm… I certainly didn’t steal it from the boss’ chest pocket dimension, if that’s what you’re thinking.”

        Wait a minute… Boss? Had Lance seen or met this person before. Then, things began to click. It was Freddy’s coin that brought him to this world, so whoever must’ve been talking was in league with him. Either that or didn’t know any better… Play it cool, you got this.

        “BONNIE, YOU ARE SO DEAD! WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU THINKING!?”

        Lance heard some rustling around as he tried to open his eyes. “W-who’s B-bonnie?”

        The first thing that the Adept saw was one of two figures strangling another by the throat and yanking him back and forth like a ragdoll. Judging from the sounds of mechanical parts, Lance had a suspicion that they weren’t human. Besides the gurgling sound that he was hearing.

        “Nuu, weit eh cen feex it!”

        Lance couldn’t exactly hear what was said then, but just ignored it as he tried to focus on his sight. He focused on opening his eyes to see what looked like a darkened room.

        “Our contract is complete!”

        Contract? What contract?

        “UUUHHH! OUR CONTRACT IS COMPLETE I SAID! GO BACK DAMMIT!”

        Now Lance felt something tug him by the back of the head. Whatever this thing was, it was yanking him and it freaking hurt!

        “WHY THE HELL ISN’T THIS WORKING!?”

        Lance felt something pull off whatever the hell was messing with his head off of him and it was followed by more yelling. By the time he could see straight, he had no freaking idea what he exactly got himself into.

        He saw the Animatronics… the rest of the characters that could kill you in Five Nights at Freddy’s. “What the F-?”

        One of them turned to see him awake, before getting himself tackled by the one chasing it and strangling them by the throat. Lance was trying to think about what the hell he got himself caught up in. So much that he did not notice another one of them approaching him from his blind spot on the left hand side as he put a paw on the adept.

        “Give ‘em a sec, they’ll tire out.”

        “Jesus Christ!!”

        “Buddha! Zeus! One of the others! Hey there.”

        The one close to Lance put on a cheeky grin as he extended a paw. “Name’s Bonbon. Well, full name it technically ‘Toy’ Bonnie but I go by Bonbon as a nickname. You?”

        Well they seemed nice enough. Better not assume the worst of them. “Name’s Lance. Lance Walker… I’m guessing you guys brought me here?”

        “Well to be more specific Bonnie over there made a dingus move and did that, but we were just sorta here. Sorry about that, by the way. Uh, you wouldn’t happen to be an enemy, would you? Seems best to check.”

        “I’m not exactly an enemy……” Lance began to speak, choosing his next few words carefully. “But out of curiosity, do you know someone by the name of Freddy?”

        “Well if you mean Freddy the mailman, no. If you mean Golden Freddy, big ole yes.”

        ‘Oh boy,’ Lance thought. “Where is he?”

        “Well from the fact that Bonnie was able to grab your token off him, albeit in the mannerisms of an idiot, I would have to say he’s asleep. You a friend of his then? None of us really have all the memories relating to you Displaced, so we only know some of the specifics.”

        “Specifics?” Lance asked, puzzled.

        “Which of the guys that the big guy’s met are jerks or pals. Stuff like that, we only have bits and pieces of the minutia of details. Why else would I be asking you all of this?”

        Lance sighed, personally relieved by that statement. “Well, you said some, so I wanted you to elaborate. Besides, what were you using my token for anyways?”

        “Well we were about to jam a bit, and when he called you up Bonnie was using it as a guitar pick.”

        Bonbon picked up his bass and started strumming a bit.

        All of this had Lance look at the Animatronics with a deadpanned expression. “Wait… So you using my Token… as a guitar pick… Matter of fact, where is Freddy? Wouldn’t the noise of your “Jam” wake him up?”

        Bonbon shook his head. “Well it would if he were in the same house as we are now. He’s got a separate place; this is my house in fact. I just like hanging with my siblings, y’know the two strangling each other on the floor there? Matter of fact, give me a sec.”

        He set down the bass and walked over to the other two, putting a paw on each of their foreheads and pushing them apart. They both tumbled away, and he placed himself between them as they lunged for each other. Toy Chica seemed pissed off.

        “Move it Bon! He isn’t dead enough yet!”

        “Stay there Bon! I’m not wanting to be dead yet!”

        Bonbon sighed. “Guys, stop being idiots. Honestly, Chica you can kill Bonnie later. For now we need to get Freddy to send our ‘guest’ back home.”

        Lance liked how Bonbon was able to stop the Shenanigans between the two of them. But, he then noticed the one named Bonnie. “NOPE! I already got strangled by Chica and I do not want to find out what the boss’d do after finding out that I both stole and used one of his tokens!”

        Again, Bonbon sighed. “Well we don’t even know how you’re able to use one of his tokens. We aren’t full Displaced, and I would’ve figured that we wouldn’t be able to do anything like that. We don’t really have that many other options.”

        The Adept himself was kind of surprised by that. For not being fully Displaced, they were capable of bringing him here? What an odd little group…

        “W-well what about Shadow Bonnie!? He’s the oldest so maybe he could know how to send him back and all that! He’s made of logic, wisdom, and all that stuff, right?”

        This suggestion though, had Toy Chica facepalm herself. “Seriously… Oh great. Fine, let’s just get the absolute dumbest route just to avoid trouble. Why the heck not, it’s not like the last idea you had made a massive potential problem, right!?”

        “What kind of problem?” came Lance’s question out of curiosity. But before any of them could answer, Toy Chica backed up a bit and looked scared. “Crap! I actually found the right memory of this guy! He attacked Dad! That kind of problem is what I meant!”

        ‘Oh damn it.’ Lance mentally cursed as he saw Bonnie back up to where Toy Chica was. But, to the Adept’s surprise, Bonbon put himself in between them. “Wait… Dad!?”

        “Let’s not be stupid guys. Let’s just deal with sending our guest home, seeing as he is being cordial with us and none of us have anywhere near the big guy’s strength to fight him with, okay?”

        Bonbon turned back to Lance with a sigh and a normal expression on his face. “Eheh. Yeah, G-F made all of us. We’re sort’ve his kids or something, we each kinda view it differently. Still, let’s just focus on getting you out of here before he notices what Bonnie did.”

        “So, you’re not going to kill me?” The Azure Striker asked. Bonbon shrugged, and Bonnie looked more freaked out than anything. Chica decided to chip in.

        “Well I…! Uh. I can’t really remember why you and Dad fought.”

        Lance then sighed. Maybe if he explained why, they would have a better understanding. “Should I say why?”

        Chica balled her hands into fists, calling up a small aura of yellow magic on each. Lance could feel that it was nowhere near as powerful as one conjured by Freddy. “I don’t care! If you’re an enemy of Dad’s then you’re an enemy of ours!”

        Bonbon steeped in front of her, his own aura of blue magic appearing. “Chica, think this through. We are in the middle of town, surrounded by shiftlings we are sworn to protect. If you start a fight, then we could make this mess so very much worse. Do you really want to make that happen?”

        Lance though, personally was caught off guard by his words and had to interject at this point. “Whoa, back up… Protect? This coming from Freddy, the one who drove the ponies in town insane, put my friend in a birdcage and gave her emotional trauma, & killed Princess Celestia and Discord!? Am I hearing this right?”

        Bonbon sighed again, turning back to Lance. “Well from the basic bits of knowledge we got off the big guy, your knowings are outdated. We can’t tell it as well as the guy himself can, but for the insanity he went and reset Equestria, y’know fixing up everything and making all those affected other than the princess forget all that had happened. And he never killed Celestia or Luna.”

        Now a new question came into Lance’s head, referring to a figure that was mentioned earlier. “What about Shadow Bonnie? Would he or she know about what I said?”

        “Yes, he would.”

        Lance heard another new voice behind him. Standing on the stairwell was Shadow Bonnie, giving them all a cold stare as he observed the room. He looked just like he did in the game, though his teeth lacked the white glow and his eyes had a faint gray outline of pupils and irises, though they were still all white. He walked down the stairs eyes never leaving Lance.

        “I am Shadow Bonnie, firstborn of Golden Freddy. Made of his logic and cunning, among other things. And unlike my younger siblings, I am aware of all that my father has done, as with your own actions.”

        ‘Well, that sounds reassuring.’

        He walked down until he stood in front of Lance, standing about a foot taller than him. He made no moves that would show a violent purpose.

        “Nice to meet you, I guess?”

        “I suppose.” The Figure spoke. “But as they said, our maker/father has made actions to be done of those things. Currently we are in a town of his own making, populated by the race of new changelings he made, that is to say that they no longer have the insatiable need to feed off emotion. He named them shiftlings, as they have the same power, but with more control and power. The Princesses Luna and Celestia are enemies of his, but he has left them in control of their country. Celestia is still unable to fight him as she is in stone, but she is animate, with life to her. The stone insulates her power, making her weaker by comparison. Luna is in a teenage form, but that is merely from his splitting of her and the former Nightmare Moon, who he has given a second chance at life, going to another Displaced’s realm for the moment. Of course, he is a friend of fiercest caliber to the Princess Cadenza, as she made aware to him the fragment of Discord’s power that had influenced his actions. His mind when you met him was only partly his own. As of now, he has no lasting negative effect onto this world.”

        “So this Discord’s magic was slowly driving him insane?” Lance then asked.

        “No, it succeeded,” The Rabbit like figure said at first. “After he met with you and learned of the multiverse, he set out and succeeded with absorbing all of the parallel versions of himself, binding them into a single being. One of those was an opposing soul, one who had not fallen to Discord and thus still knew himself. Once the final piece of Discord’s power was removed from him by Cadenza, he became one with this opposing soul, beginning to recall himself. Of course he lacks the power to destroy this fragment, as such would result in it taking refuge in him once again. Of course, as a countermeasure he created all of us. We act as watchers of this town and of his claimings, and as children to him. Follow me, Lance the Gunvolt. Siblings, remain here. I wish to speak to him alone.”

        Lance was a little concerned about talking with Shadow Bonnie alone. He was unsure if this could’ve been some kind of trap, but then again, they said things did change here. Maybe this was proof of that change. “Alright. Lead the way. Oh and I’m an Adept. Gunvolt is just a name.”

        “I am aware. But you are the same being as Gunvolt, and thus you are a Gunvolt. And I do indeed hope you do not seek to resume your fighting with my father. For I would not allow it. My siblings are new, and vulnerable. But I am the eldest, and I was made from the start with enough power to rival even one such as Discord. And unlike my father, I am less willing to allow for fighting to occur here. It is my role to watch this place and make aware my siblings should any beings such as Displaced or the Princess were to arrive, but for the moment I am giving you the… What’s the phrase… Benefit of the doubt.”

        “I don’t intend to start anything.” Lance assured him. “If what you say is true, then I have nothing to worry about.”

        “That is good. I would rather my father have one less enemy by means of turning a foe to a friend, rather than by having said foe be obliterated.”

        Lance chuckled mentally, but dreaded the thought of him getting blown to bits. As they walked out, Lance finally got a view of the town around them. It was beauty at first sight. The buildings were seemingly formed of smoothened stone, but made into the forms of houses he would have expected from Earth. The moon was high in the sky, and the town square they walked through was stranded, save for the occasional ‘shiftling’ walking past.

        “Wow… This is quite stunning if I do say so myself.” The Adept said in response to seeing the town. “Hey, since you said that the princesses are in control of their country, is this town on another continent?”

        Shadow Bonnie shook his head. “This town is constructed in an area of Equestria known as the Badlands. It seems to exist in most Equestria, but some have alternate versions. Freddy chose this place and claimed it, as there was no life here, other than the changelings native to this version of Equestria. Of course, Freddy made a deal with them, and in exchange for his converting them into shiftlings and thus mending their food problem, he moved their hive underneath the town and gained equal power to Queen Chrysalis, the current ruler. With this he also prevented a changeling attack that would occur in this timeline upon Cadenza.”

        “Ahh. I see.” I’m still a bit unfamiliar with who Cadenza is. Would you care to explain who she is?” Lance then asked as the two of them walked through the nearby courtyard. “I mean, I’m in an Equestria where what you would call the Elements of Harmony are freaking superheroes.”

        “Of course.” Shadow Bonnie replied as he held up a paw and a screen of light appeared. On it appeared an image of the element bearers in a group, and then a pair of Alicorns. “As you may know, these are the Elements of this and most other worlds. And these are the two princesses of Equestria, each with control over a celestial body. Celestia lifts the sun and Luna raises the moon. Of course, as they are now weakened, Freddy holds control of both but he does keep them on time fairly well.”

        Another image, this time of a pink alicorn with a multi-toned mane appeared.

        “This is Cadenza. She acts in a less direct role, monitoring the emotional states of Equestrian citizens and helping to deal with extreme cases wherein a pony is in need of counseling. She is more so known as the Alicorn of love, as she helps to regulate emotions in ponies that need it. She is somewhat of a ‘school counselor’ of Equestrians, keeping them decently happy. This is how she was able to see what had been left in father’s mind by Discord. Of course, when he tried to rip it out she warned him that it would destroy him to use such blunt force, and thus performed the action herself, freeing my father. This instantly made her into a trusted friend for my father, as he felt somewhat in debt to her. They exchange letters sometimes. And of course, she is told about many of the new things Freddy has made in the confines of his claimed land. Here’s one you may recognize.”

        For a moment, Lance was a bit curious. Not just about the other Alicorn, but what Shadow Bonnie was talking about. He was personally surprised to see the being pick up a Mudkip.

        “Wow… I honestly did not expect that. Hey, you think he might let me have one before I go?” Lance asked, curious to see SB’s response. He liked to play Pokemon as well, but thought it would be cool to have one to keep with him and assist him on various missions and assignments. Especially with all the villains that were busted out at Solace Asylum.

        “If you desire one I can bring it/him/her into life myself.” He told the Adept. “Though as with those of my father’s creations you will have to guarantee the well being of it. They do not simply eat poffins and blacks as in the games, and we do not allow nor use Pokeballs.”

        “I assume the diet varies depending on the type? Because I was thinking about a Riolu or Torchic since both Lucario and Blaziken are badass in my opinion.”

        “Yes, though they do tend to be carnivorous or herbivorous, and that applies to other Pokemon. And I will remind you, they are living creatures, not digital imitations. They are sentient, or at least very close to it. They are friends and allies, much in the way of a very intelligent dog. Badass, true. But also a friend. It is a large responsibility.”

        Lance then began to think things a bit through before making a decision. “Being a hero is a large responsibility. I believe I can manage. Okay, I’ll just stick with Blaziken though. One might be easier to handle than two.”

        Shadow Bonnie nodded. “ Very well. Though I will have to start it off as a Torchic. That way it will live a full lifespan and be able to grow alongside you.”

        A dark purple and black aura surrounded his paws and a wave of black energy erupted from them, resulting in a small Torchic in his palms. He held it out, and it looked at Lance curiously. It soon chirped happily as it jumped on Lance’s hands. He smiled. “Hello little guy, how are you?”

        It chirped and hopped onto Lance’s shoulder, clambering on top of his head.

        “There you are, young Lance.” Shadow Bonnie spoke, making the Adept think that the Animatronic was doing it’s best Professor Oak impersonation. “Now then, to see about waking my father to send you home.”

        The Azure Striker waited outside a large building that was slightly taller than the others with his new friend as they waited for Shadow Bonnie to return. Lance was even now thinking about names to call the Torchic. The two best ones he could think of was Kai and Ember. Such a hard choice, but he decided to wait and see if his guide to the town can tell him what gender it was before making a final choice.

        After a few moments, the door burst open and a paw slammed into Lance’s face, sending him sprawling. He heard Freddy talk.“That was for the bomb to the schnoz. We’re all good now.”

        Freddy walked out with a tired expression and held a paw out to help Lance up. “So how’s super pony Equestria or whatever?”

        “Alright. Been quite rough recently. Met a Majin that could destroy planets, outsmarted a ghoul, fought against heartless and found out my best friend broke all the villains out of what you would consider as Tartarus. Besides that, I met your children. Give my regards to Bonnie for using my token as a guitar pick.”

        “Yeah he’ll be cleaning toilets for a couple days for that.” Freddy grunted as he repositioned himself. “I got a lot of crazy stuff in my chest, so it’s lucky for him that your token’s the only thing he nabbed. And those aren’t the only ones I’ve made, hell you can see Foxy out by the lake over there killing another one of those octowhale things that keep showing up.”

        “You mean like harpooning a kraken?”

        “Sorta. Think whale but with a kraken sorta superglued onto the bottom. And yeah Foxy goes with the whole pirate deal and so he keeps the lake clean and all.”

        Look out Jack Sparrow. If Foxy see’s you, he’s got a pike with your name on it. “All that does is make me think of Moby Dick for some reason. He didn’t strike any white whales now, did he?”

        “Dunno. Things keep showing up out of nowhere, coulda been a white one.”

        Well, that was a sure vote in confidence just now.

        “So, you wanna go home yet? Or ya wanna just hang around for a bit?”

        Lance himself, scratched his head before replying back to the bear. “I would say that I need to go. Duty calls I guess. But, hey… you know that when I tell Lumen this… She might not believe a word I say right?” The Adept reminded Freddy. “She still has nightmares of being in that birdcage you put her in.”

        “Yeah… Well here…” Freddy’s paws lit up for a moment and he moved them like he was pulling taffy. When he was done a bag of randomly glowing taffy actually appeared. Each one glowed a random color, and he took out a silver one. “Baboom! Magic taffy stuff. This will give her the whole memory reset I gave Equestria here. Well kinda, it’ll change the way she looks at it. Like she’ll still remember but it’ll be less..vivid. Sort like remembering a scary movie. And the rest of the taffy’s got a random magic effect, with labels. Like there’s a couple that’ll make her the size of a regular pony for a bit in there. Anyway, give her my apologies and stuff.”

        He held out the bag. Lance held out his hand and took it. “Thanks again, my friend. I’m glad that we can put the past behind us… Speaking of which, if you need me, summon me whenever you like. It would be nice to meet Princess Cadenza next time. Shadow Bonnie told me she was pretty nice.”

        “Yes she is, and same for you. Oh yeah, here.” Freddy reached out with a paw and poked his forehead. Lance felt a faint tingling.

        “Bam! All hatches patted down and windows shut! In other words I just locked your brain from outside access. Anyone that tries will get the equivalent of a mental Fazbear Trojan virus in their head.”

        “Like Nightmare on Fazbear Street?” The Adept asked, trying to have a little bit of fun with the bear. Freddy himself, just shrugged.

        “Never saw that movie, always meant to though. Anyway, could you do me a favor and show Shadow Bonnie a few adept skills? I gave him the ability to learn stuff by watching, so he’s got the whole adaptability thing going on.” Lance sighed at that though. This was going to be hard to explain to both of them.

        “Adept skills vary depending on two things. One, the user. Two, if they have a Glaive or not. I can give you an image of a glaive so you can look out for it on your travels if that helps.”

        “Uh. Don’t you use a gun? I thought it just sorta took a specialized type of weapon.”

        “Most Adepts use Glaives to allow them to take on different forms. Think of a weapon that allows you to obtain your full strength once you let it’s power run through you. It almost resembles the shape of a Z-Saber, but it’s Onyx in color with a gem in the middle. Different colored gems represent different powers.”

        “Hmm. I thought the glaives in the game were powered by the one using them? Like a storage for them. I actually played Gunvolt a bit back on Earth.”

        “Yes, but the gems on the inside contain that power. My buddy, Cody has a few of those gems since he got ended up here as Copen. It also is focused on personality. Vipers for example is based on his Anger.”

        “Hmm. Though does that mean your gun has one of those gems?” The Bear then asked.

        Lance though, shook his head as he felt himself and his partner getting pulled back to his world. “My gun is modified to work with my lightning based abilities to where I can channel my energy through the gun. The same goes for my blade.” He said, showing off his Katana like edge before he disappeared, leaving Freddy with Shadow Bonnie. Shadow Bonnie Placed a paw to his chin as Lance finally returned home. He snapped a paw and crafted a silver coin, making an image of his silhouette and eyes on it, concentrating for a moment before the coin erupted into light and disappeared. He panted for a moment before looking back to Freddy.

        “Hmm. It seems that you may have implanted some Displaced abilities with regards to tokens into each of us.”

        Freddy smirked at him. “It seems that way, doesn’t it. So, where did you send them?”

        “I decided that as a way to learn more of the multiverse that I will test some of the abilities that I may have gotten by sending out my own token. That one I sent off in the same way as you, leaving it in young Lance’s pocket. Though I did not leave a message upon it, it will bear the same aura as a normal token.”

        “Well alright. So, you mentioned Chica trying to strangle Bonnie? Y’know, even though you guys don’t have lungs? Or throats?”

        Shadow Bonnie merely sighed and nodded, heading back toward Bonbon’s house with Freddy in tow.


Power Pony Headquarters (Night)

        Upon coming back, Lance found himself inside the Gymnasium that Solaria would normally train him in. He wasn’t sure if everything was back to normal though. They had defeated the girls heartless before coming back. Now though, the Adept was unsure if the girls had changed back. His question was answered a few seconds later though, when he had a shadow linger above him and his Torchic partner.

        “Why do I have the feeling that something is going to smash me-?”

        In an instant, something lashed out at him, it’s hooves breaking the floorboards. Skidding backwards, Lance flipped on the lights and was surprised to see who he found.

        “S-saddle rager?”

        It was indeed Saddle Rager. But upon thinking that there was an intruder in the base, she took on her “Rage” form to see if she could cause them to run. Upon realizing who it was though, she shrunk back down to normal size.

        “L-lance!! You’re back!”

        “You’re… alright?”

        “Yeah… the girls and I just had a bad dream. Nothing to worry about.”

        ‘So they don’t remember them becoming heartless. That’s… new.” Lance thought to himself. “Hey, I’m going to get some rest. Can you do me a favor?”

        “W-what kind of favor?”

        Lance sighed as he took out the taffy piece that Freddy gave him. “I was given some enchanted taffy by a friend and he tells me that this one could help her with some nightmares she has been having lately. I want to make sure my partner is ready to go so we can round up criminals first thing in the morning.”

        “O-okay… But what do you mean about rounding up criminals?”

        That’s when Lance realized something. Something he had to ask. “You girls weren’t told about the Prison Break?”

        Saddle Rager shook her head. “Nothing about anything like that. We’ve been asleep most of the day.”

        That’s when Lance sighed. “Go get some rest then. I’ll explain everything to you in the morning.” With that, the two of them parted ways as Saddle Rager went to go see Lumen and Lance walked back to his room. He took out Freddy’s coin, only to realize a new token amongst them. A silver one.

        “Well, Looks like Freddy and Shadow Bonnie are looking over me now… Making friends out of former enemies… I like that.”

        He returned both of them to his jacket pocket as he hung up his coat and laid on the bed. The Adept needed all the rest he could get after the events of today.


End Strike 10
