Hey, another update! We are nearing the end and I'm excited to start writing again!
I Hope y'all enjoy the 14th chapter!
Chapter 14
The van catches fire as Requiem walks away. The flames make their way towards the gasoline stored inside the van, as the two touch each other it was as if it was a bomb. Shards of metal flew in different directions. Catty, unfortunately, was no longer recognizable as the parts of her that didn't get blown to shreds were soon burning. Burning oil and gasoline followed Requiem as he stumbled forwards towards the apartment. He blinked as his vision became a blurry mess. Eventually, he found the apartment and practically busted down the door to the room where the rest of his friends were.
Storm perked up her ears as she saw the front door bend inwards repeatedly. The others looked at Storm queuing her to open the door. She sighed and walked cautiously towards the door. Opening it she found Requiem standing there, swaying side to side as if he were on a boat.
"Requiem, buddy…what happened?" She asked starting to get concerned.
He smirked and wiped his lips, smudging Catty's oil stain, "Foxy and Dozer are in the alley way right by 42nd street…I don't know what happened to them…"
Storm looked at him with a surprised look and he stared at her with a mad look in his eyes. She turned slightly and spoke to the group.
"Chica, did you hear that?" She said still looking at Requiem.
"Yeah, want me to go check it out?" Chica asked standing up.
"Crystal, Freddy and Bonnie will go with you."
Storm let them pass by and gave them a phone so they could stay in contact, she never once broke eye contact with Requiem. His gaze slowly shifted to inside the room, he found young Mike and locked his eyes on her. He started to step inside the room until Storm stepped in front of him. She raised an eye brow daring him.
"What else happened while you were out?" She asked crossing her arms.
His lower lip trembled as his eyes softened as he remembered Catty, "Catty…is dead."
Storms eyes dropped to the ground and nodded, "Where is she now?"
He snapped back to his crazed eyes, "That's not important. But I do know where Kitana is…" Slouching slightly, his lips parted as he breathed in, "She's in the sewers, and you can get in them through the man holes…good luck getting in there without breaking something, let alone get back out alive."
Storm looked back at Mike, Mikey and Livi, "Okay, the rest of you come with me. Say good bye to Young Mike!"
Young Mike looked up and cracked a smile at the others.
"Bye Mike!" They all said at once as they all filed out of the room and out the door.
Storm still stood in front of Requiem as the others headed downstairs.
"Good bye Mike." She said as she started to close the front door.
"Wait, won't I see you again?" Young Mike asked while standing up.
Storm looked over her shoulder slightly, "No…" She closed the door lightly, locking it.
She slipped past Requiem and stood at the top of the stairs, "You should leave." She said to Requiem.
Requiem looked at her twitching slightly, she felt uncomfortable by his gaze and fled down the stairs. Storm walked outside of the building and met up with the group.
"So where we headed?" Livi asked swishing his tail impatiently.
"We look for a man hole and we go in it…I guess." Mikey said scratching the back of his head.
Storm nodded and started walking down the street. Their steps made soft tapping noises on the concrete and their mechanical joints made wurring and buzzing noises each step they took. Mike spoke up and broke the silence.
"So…what was wrong with Requiem?" She asked putting her hands in her pocket.
"I honestly don't know. I think something is wrong with his system…or he's just traumatized." Storm said sighing, "I don't think we'll be seeing him again."
The group feel silent again as they walked alongside each other. Several minutes went by without another word spoken until Livi pointed out a man hole.
"Hey, there's one!" He said pointing to it.
Storm and the group walked in the middle of the street and surrounded it. They looked at each other and nodded. Storm and Livi took off the lid and set it aside. They stared down the black hole for they could not see the bottom.
"Who wants to go first?" Mikey asked smirking.
Storm rolled her eyes and bent down. She took in a small breath before sliding into the hole.
(Chica's group)
Chica, Freddy, Bonnie, and Crystal all stand in front of the dark alleyway.
"We have to go in there?" Crystal asked timidly.
Freddy put a paw on her shoulder and smiled, "Yes dear, it will be safe. Don't worry."
Crystal blushed in embarrassment and rolled her eyes, "I'm not scared, I was just asking." She said as she stepped into the alleyway.
While walking she slipped on something and hit her back and head on the pavement. The group rushed over to her and Chica knelt next to her.
"Crystal! Honey, don't move." Chica said noticing Crystal's broken neck.
Freddy called 911 while Bonnie looked for the cause of Crystal's fall. Dried oil covered most of the pavement but he could make out something orange in the darkness. He cocked his head and bent down to pick it up. He picked it up and examined it, he gasped and dropped it. Bonnie shook his head and picked it up again.
"Damnit…" He said as he brought it back to the group.
Freddy was off the phone and was knelt down by Chica. When he saw Bonnie he stood up.
"What did you find?" Freddy asked.
Bonnie showed him what he had found and Freddy looked at him confused.
"I think its Foxy's…" Bonnie said looking at it.
Freddy raised an eyebrow, "That's Foxy's jaw?"
Bonnie flinched as Freddy said it, "Yeah…I think so."
Freddy shook his head and held the bridge of his nose, "We need to see if there is anything else."
Chica looked up and back down at Crystal, "You guys go ahead, I'll stay with her."
The two of them nodded and traveled further into the darkness. They reached the end of the alley and could make out three figures in the dark. The first was a dead, deformed, mutated dog.
"God, what happened?" Freddy asked staring at the dead body.
Bonnie shrugged and noticed a larger figure laying on the ground, he walked closer to it. It blinked and gasped for air, Bonnie ran towards it and slid next to it.
"Dozer!" Bonnie cried out, "What happened?"
Dozer was holding his neck which still squirted out oil at a regular pace but with his other hand he pointed towards Foxy. Freddy saw this gesture and looked at a pile of bricks. He moved some of them and saw that Foxy wasn't breathing.
"What is it?" Bonnie asked still with Dozer.
"It's Foxy!" Freddy replied as he got out the phone and called Storm.
"Hello?" Storm said as she answered the phone.
"It's Freddy, look…we've investigated the alley and we found Dozer and Foxy..." He said looking down at Foxy.
"You did! How are they?"
"Dozer is probably going to be okay. But Foxy…He's-"
"Dead." Storm said finishing Freddy's sentence.
"Yeah…and Crystal can't move with us, she has to go to the hospital."
"Freddy!" Bonnie yelled.
Freddy looked over at Bonnie and Dozer, "What is it?"
Storm listened on the phone carefully.
"Dozer is going into sleep mode, I can't stop him. He's doing it himself." Bonnie said trying to reboot Dozers system.
"Storm did you hear that?"
"Yeah I did."
"Well what do we do?"
"You have to leave Foxy. But Bring Dozer to the sewers, we'll find him and Mike will take care of him." Storm said and she hung up the phone.
Freddy sighed and looked at Bonnie with tears in his eyes.
"We have to put him in the sewers…" Freddy said quietly, "Storm will take care of him form there…"
"We can't do that! What if she can't find him? He'll just be stuck there for the rest of his life!" Bonnie said as his anger overcoming his rationality.
Freddy didn't speak but just stared at Bonnie.
"And what about Foxy?" Bonnie said shaking his head.
"We just leave him here…" Freddy said sadly.
"I don't agree with this…what do you think?"
"Honestly I think it's the best thing to do. I don't like doing it, but it's what we have to do right now…"
Bonnie sighed and put one of Dozers arms around him and waited for Freddy to do the same. They carried Dozer to the entrance of the alley way. Chica was standing there waiting for them. She gasped and asked what happened.
"We don't know." Freddy said and explained to her what they had to do.
"Alright…Crystal is at the hospital right now. She's going to be okay." Chica said trying to cheer them up.
(In the alleyway)
Tow eyes stared out at Freddy, Bonnie, and Chica.
"So…your part of the group that I've heard so much about?" Darkskies says to herself, "Well, have fun in the sewers…" She said laughing quietly.
(Chica)
Chica opened a manhole near the alley and Freddy and Bonnie slowly lowered Dozer down.
"Where's the bottom?" Bonnie said struggling to hold the weight of Dozer.
Freddy began to speak but he lost grip of Dozer and the both of them fell in pulling Bonnie with them.
"Guys!" Chica said keeling over the hole.
(Darkskies)
She flicked her tail and stepped out of the darkness and towards Chica. Smiling evilly, she towered over Chica.
"Huh?" Chica said puzzled at the sudden coolness of a shadow that lurked over her.
Chica looked behind her just to see Darkskies push her in the hole. Chica screamed as she fell.
"Hahaha, bub-bye dear!" Darkskies laughed as she covered the hole once again.
"Now…the chase can begin…" She said stepping into the darkness again.
