WARNING! VERY LONG FINALE CHAPTER! IT HAD TO BE DONE SO FORGIVE ME! You guys don't know how many rewrites this final chapter has gone through, some scenes had to be changed completely and change what character would do a certain thing the others can't now. One new character will be CAT though his role is small like RAT. There may be times this might feel rushed, but I've honestly gotten tired of doing so many rewrites, this will be the best I can do.
XJ-7: Wow, you sound as sad as I do.
Me: Who said I was sad?
XJ-7: You just sound like it.
Me: Nah I'm fine.
Jenny: I think I can see Cindy down the street.
XJ-6: No worries, I'll take her down.
Me: XJ-6 WAIT!
*XJ-6 races out of room*
Me: Oh dear...
Chapter 11: Absolution PT 2 (Extended Edition)
Shadow Candy was impatiently awaiting his chance to be free again, he just needed a little more energy left. And it looks like he was going to get the rest very soon, at least right now he was getting some entertainment.
"I'm gonna be free soon...hehe, Candy won't stand a chance against me this time, I won't even get a chance to face him if he doesn't get hospitalized by his own sister first. Yes you two! FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT! DESTROY THE BOND, NOT LIKE YOU'LL NEED IT ANYWAY! I'LL DESTROY WHATEVER IS LEFT!"
Upon the first impact, the cats were sent in opposite directions and landed on the floor. Cindy was the first to recover and sprinted at Candy who was just getting on one foot. Looking up he saw Cindy's foot come crashing into his face knocking him back to the ground. Cindy then pounced on him, a large scowl present on her face.
"YOU CALL YOURSELF A GOOD BROTHER?"
Cindy then punched Candy in the face twice, blood now leaking from Candy's mouth.
"YOU'RE A LOSER!" Cindy yelled.
Candy angrily grabbed Cindy's neck and brought her down to headbutt her hard. Then Candy rolled them over so he was on top.
"I'M THE BEST BROTHER YOU'LL EVER HAVE! I'LL KEEP YOU OUT OF HARM'S WAY, EVEN IF I HAVE TO FORCE YOU TO STAY!" Candy snarled.
Cindy swung up trying to hit him but Candy blocked her punch and actually punched her in the jaw again, more blood was tossed. Cindy hissed and leg locked Candy so when she flipped them back over Candy was trapped, but Candy wasn't done yet. The two rolled around the upstairs hallway punching and kicking each other with occasional cat noises. At one point Cindy bit into Candy's shoulder causing him to scream. He violently scrambled around and managed to pry Cindy off him and push her towards the steps.
"THE FUCK YOU BITE ME FOR?" Candy roared.
"Aw poor Candy, can't even take a bite." Cindy shook her head.
Wrong choice of words, Candy, being faster than Cindy, rushed at her and sucker-punched her down the steps getting many bruises on the way down. Candy grinds down on the railing before pouncing on Cindy continuing their brawl downstairs. Blank had been given a few days off to rest and stayed at the cats' house usually in shutdown mode. He awoke overhearing the fighting and crept outside the spare room to see Candy and Cindy tussling.
"Uh...what's happening right now?" Blank asked.
"STAY OUT OF THIS BLANK!" The cats hissed.
Blank jumped and ran back inside locking the door, he figured he'd left them handle their business. The cats resumed still rolling around trying to pin each other.
"CINDY YOU'RE MAKING A MISTAKE!"
"WHAT? ME? YOU'RE THE ONE WHO STARTED ALL THIS SHIT!"
Cindy knocked Candy off her with a foot before grabbing a lamp nearby and throwing it at Candy's chest, the impact broke the lamp and Candy hit a wall. Cindy lunged with a fist but Candy moved out of the way just in time as her fist hit the wall making a large crack. Candy came back and double-punched Cindy in the chest before uppercutting her away. Cindy swung at him but missed again when Candy used his martial arts skills to parkour off of the wall and spin-kick her in the head knocking her across the living room. Cindy fell onto the glass table shattering it into pieces. She ended up with more cuts on her back, but it didn't seem to faze her. Candy cracked his knuckles and waited for Cindy to get up.
"Heh...not bad brother...but...you forget...I'VE ALWAYS BEEN ABLE TO KICK YOUR ASS!"
"Not today sis..."
"..."
"..."
"Very well then..."
Candy spat out some blood from his mouth while Cindy wiped blood coming from her nose and sprinted at Candy who did the same back. From outside, another thunderous boom could be heard from their second collision. Meanwhile, Freddy Fazbear was talking to Mangle as they surveyed the old Freddy Fazbear's Pizza in his original town. It was in ruins and the smell of old dead bodies covered the building. During its abandonment, murderers have used the pizzeria as a place to hide bodies knowing the police would never think to look there. Several human and anthro bodies littered the hallways. Mangle was trying not to gag over the smell and sights inside, she was following Freddy who was trying to get to his old office.
"Ugh...well at least we know where all those bodies were, that's all that was on the news was missing people." Mangle whispered.
"Hmm...yes..." Freddy didn't seem to be paying attention.
Mangle figured Freddy had a lot on his mind or he just didn't care. If he wanted to reopen the place, he'd have to clean up at some point. Mangle also thought maybe some cheering up would help.
"Hey, maybe you could make some money turning this into some kind of horror attraction, or like a haunted house perhaps?" Mangle suggested.
Freddy rolled his eyes at her suggestions...he had no interest.
"No thanks." Was all he said.
They rounded a few more corners, passed a few more bodies, blood splatters, weird writing on the wall and blinking ceiling lights. All the rooms had seen better days, the main room looked like a bomb had went off, the bathrooms and closets were destroyed, and the other party rooms were just dirty and insect-filled. Mangle could've sworn she stepped on a few spiders and slammed into some spider webs. Freddy didn't stop until they arrived in the security office where wires and broken pieces of glass laid everywhere, a smirk appearing on his face.
"Mangle...this place...will be grand once again. I can feel it...I deserve to put this place back on full power, we'll crush Candy's business. While I get a few things done here, I want you to take this."
Freddy took off his tophat and pulled out what looked a plush version of Spring, it looked a little terrifying to Mangle, but why was there a plush version of him? As Freddy handed it to her, she gulped.
"Um...I don't know what to say." Mangle faked a nervous smile.
"Oh no it's not for you, it's to give to Candy as a...peace offering...make sure Cindy sees it as well. I'm sure they will love it." Freddy smirked.
Mangle knew it was more than a plushy, she squeezed several parts of it, only to feel something metal in the back, a little red light could faintly be seen inside. Her suspicions were confirmed, it was a bomb. She looked at Freddy in shock, sure she wasn't fond the cats or chickens...but to kill them? No...
"Freddy...you're not really going to kill them are you?" Mangle gasped.
Freddy looked taken aback, but it was fake.
"What me? Never!" Freddy lied.
Mangle scowled as Freddy straightened his bowtie and hat before walking closer to her, the fox's grip on the plushy tightened. Anger became present on Freddy's face and grew the closer he got to her.
"Why does it matter to you? It's not like you like them either." Freddy scoffed.
"Maybe...but I wouldn't kill them!" Mangle snarled.
"Last time I checked you were trying to kill Lolbit that one night."
"No...I wasn't. I was just angry, I would just gonna knock her out or something. But I'm not a murderer." Mangle said.
"Hmph...weak...just like Candy. If you weren't holding that bomb I'd punch you into that wall behind you." Freddy threatened.
Mangle was about to take his challenge and sit the bomb down before Freddy got a call. Freddy glared at the fox before answering.
"Hello?"
"I got the fox, feisty little thing...I'm bringing her now."
"Good, I'm getting Mangle here to fix our cat problem."
"Sweet."
When Nightmare hung up, Freddy pointed to the hallway right of the office.
"GO! NOW!" Freddy demanded.
Mangle figured she would just dispose of the bomb somewhere, but there had to be a catch, one Freddy was about to mention.
"Oh and Mangle, don't bother just tossing it somewhere, there's a tracking device inside, and it will let me know where you put it...and where to find you! I will detonate it only when it's near the cats." Freddy chuckled.
Mangle silently cursed herself before heading to the front doors. She couldn't believe she had to go through this, if she didn't have the bomb she would've drove across the country and never come back. Opening the front doors and heading into the chilly night air was much more comfortable then the smell of dead bodies and blood inside. But as she sprinted to her car...she saw what looked like a little girl standing by her car, but she wasn't just standing there.
"HEY KID WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?" Mangle snarled.
It was the red pig-tailed girl, she had been slashing Mangle's tires with a knife and had just got done with the fourth one. The girl looked up to the fox with an evil grin and her big glowing eyes.
"Oh...just being an innocent little girl looking to cause some trouble that's all. Why do you ask?" The girl asked kindly.
Mangle could not believe the innocent smile the girl was pulling right now, there was something sinister about this girl, who was she? The fox stormed over to the girl to see that the girl was only half her size, right under her breasts. The girl looked up at the fox with her glowing eyes and tilted her head.
"I'm sorry if you were planning to go somewhere, it's just too bad I can't let you leave." The girl giggled.
Mangle was so confused and angered at the same time, what was wrong with this girl? Now Mangle had to find a different way back, but first, she figured she'd teach this girl a lesson.
"Listen kid, I'm in a hurry! Who do you think you are slashing my tires? What the hell am I supposed to do now?" Mangle growled.
"Hand over the bomb or I'll smash the rest of your car." The girl threatened.
"You wouldn't dare." Mangle bared her fangs.
"Don't underestimate me fox, I'm tougher than I look." The girl growled.
Mangle threw the plushy down before getting in a fighting stance, Baby did as well and hopped onto the roof of the car.
"Normally I wouldn't beat up a little kid, you look 6 or 7, but you're leaving me no choice now." Mangle sneered.
"I'M FREAKIN' 12 YEARS OLD!"
The girl lunges first surprising MangleMangle who gets punched twice in the face and kicked in the chest knocking the fox to the ground. Afterwards she adjusted her gloves and laughed, indeed she was a lot tougher than many thought. Mangle had blacked out from one of the punches and when she awoke, she saw the girl standing over her with a wicked grin and cracking her knuckles.
"Don't mind me, just saving my friends."
Mangle was losing conscious slowly from hitting her head on the ground. She looked up weakly at the girl.
"Who...are you?" Mangle asked.
"Just call me Baby."
Then Baby stomps on Mangle's head knocking her out. Afterwards she checked to make sure Freddy hadn't seen anything, he didn't. Baby then grabbed the bomb and pulled out a phone to call someone.
"Netty, I've located a bomb plushy that was to be used to destroy the cats, I'll be awaiting your arrival." Baby said.
"Be there soon."
"Good."
Baby hung up and smirked down at the unconscious fox while tossing the plushy in one hand and the other on her hip.
"Hmph...how pathetic."
Back with the cats, the two's latest collision had knocked them into opposite walls again, the two laid there beaten and bloody. Black eyes, missing pieces of fur, bite marks, and countless bruises covered their bodies. The two just stared at each other, their anger covering their pain. They panted as they spoke.
"You done?" Cindy growled.
"Are you?" Candy asked.
"I don't know..."
"Heh...you never know."
"SHUT UP!"
"NO!"
Cindy struggled to get back up...all she needed to do was knock out Candy once and for all. Candy felt the same way as he managed to stand up. However, their plans were going to go extremely wrong. Deep within Candy's soul, Shadow Candy knew it was time. As the cats closed in on each other, it happened. The vow the two made as children...had finally broken. They lunged at each other, their very long sharp claws sprung out and-
SLASH!
"AUGH!"
"AHH!"
The two had clawed each other across the face, an immediate sense of horror and guilt took over as the two went back down to the floor. It seemed that all the tension in the house just vanished, a sudden memory flashed into their minds.
5 year old Candy searches around the house for Cindy who had been missing for an hour, he was hoping they would watch a movie together downstairs in the living room. He had checked her bedroom but didn't find her. Maybe she was already downstairs. When he came down, he walked around the couch to see 5 year old Cindy already there with a miniature scratching pose their mother had bought her. She was busy sharpening her claws on them out of boredom.
"Hey Cindy, wanna watch a movie or something?" Candy offered.
"Yeah sure when I get done. As long as it's not a horror movie, we got in trouble last time from tearing up the couch." Cindy gulped.
"Not to worry...hey uh...could I see that post when you're done?"
"Yeah."
When it was his turn...he had a sudden worry in his head. Cindy seem to take notice while she checked over her claws.
"What's wrong?" Cindy asked.
"Cindy...can we promise each other something?" Candy asked.
"Well it depends...what is it?"
"Well...if something ever happens between us...like we get into a big argument...and possibly a fight...can we promise that...we never use our claws on each other? I'd find that very uncomfortable, and it would feel like we're not family...like we're traitors. It's like the ultimate betrayal for a cat." Candy said.
Cindy was surprised by her twin's thoughts, but it did make sense. Cindy never wanted their bond to be broken, they needed each other. And so in the end, she agreed.
"We'll make that our vow brother...alright?"
She placed forward her claw-exposed index finger, then Candy sprung his out and the two touch claws as a sign that their vow was official.
That memory seem to have shed some new light on the current situation. The two looked at each other...not seeing each other as enemies, but as brother and sister.
"Candy..."
"Cindy..."
"Brother..."
"Sister..."
The two found the energy to get up and walk closer to each other, pain present on their faces. After a few more moments looking at each other, they spoke.
"Sis...we broke our vow."
"Yeah we did...but...somehow...I still feel like...we're still together. If anything it...showed that we're strong individually. We proved to each other...that...no matter what...we'd fight for what we think is right...even if it's against each other."
"Yeah...you're right."
But then Candy quickly began to break down with Cindy doing the same seconds later.
"CINDY I'M SO SORRY! THIS IS ALL MY FAULT! I'M SUCH AN IDIOT!"
"STOP CANDY! IT'S NOT YOURS IT'S MINE! I'M THE IDIOT!"
"WE'RE BOTH IDIOTS THEN!"
The two grabbed each other into a tight hug, their claws still out but they didn't care.
"I love you too much to lose you sis." Candy cried.
"I love you too much to let you lose control." Cindy cried.
"TOO LATE FOR THAT!"
Suddenly the two are blasted away when Shadow Candy is finally freed and stands in between them. He was glowing in a dark purple aura and floated just a few inches off the ground. Candy and Cindy gasped and backed away as Shadow Candy's claws flexed and his eyes glowed the longer he stared at the twins.
"NO! SHADOW CANDY!" Candy yelled.
"SHIT!" Cindy yelled.
"YOU TWO ARE SO STUPID! THINKING YOU CAN KEEP ME DOWN FOR ALL THESE YEARS! I'VE JUST BEEN BUILDING UP ENERGY THIS WHOLE TIME, AND NOW I'M UNSTOPPABLE! I'M NOT EVEN GONNA BOTHER DESTROYING YOU FOOLS! I'LL GO AFTER YOUR FRIENDS FIRST...AND DO SOMETHING YOU SHOULD'VE DONE LONG AGO!" Shadow Candy yelled.
"What's that?" Candy asked.
"KILL YOUR CRAZY-ASS RIVAL!" Shadow Candy snarled.
"Freddy." Cindy thought.
"THEN, I'LL DESTROY YOUR PRECIOUS RESTAURANT! Actually...I think I might do that first!" Shadow Candy figured.
"WE WON'T LET YOU!" The twins shouted together.
"THEN TRY AND FIGHT BACK!" Shadow Candy snarled.
He floated higher into the air blasted off outside and down the street laughing and the cats looked at each other. They were too weak to fight Shadow Candy on their own...they needed help. And help they got in the form of Foxy, Chica and Chi who raced over upon hearing the commotion. Even Blank reactivated and came over to the group.
"GUYS WAS THAT SHADOW CANDY?" Chica yelled.
"Yeah, we need to stop him now." Candy said.
"Look you're gonna explain why FIGHTING WASN'T WHAT WHAT WE MEANT BY WORKING IT OUT later, but for now we need to stop that shadowy creep." Chi said.
"But how?" Foxy asked.
The group thought, Shadow Candy was nothing but a malicious entity created through the deep stress and anger in Candy's soul, no matter how hard he tried to stay positive, he worried about everything. Cindy was different, she didn't worry much about anything so she had no dark entity. That's when it hit the cats...negative thoughts...those powered Shadow Candy.
"Candy...we can beat this guy." Cindy smirked.
"Yeah...we can...let's do it." Candy nodded.
But the other three were confused.
"Uh what's the plan exactly?" Blank scratched his head.
Meanwhile back at the closed bar, Bon and Spring were giving RAT a drug test, his best friend CAT, ironically an all-brown cat, was talking to the cops while RAT stumbled around.
"He always does this, I can never leave him alone for a week without an incident. I'm not a drinker, so you wouldn't catch me stumbling around like that." CAT sighed.
"Let's hope not. Looks like CAT is gonna be taken in for the night though. He tried to harm one of my friends." Spring growled at the rat.
"Oh shit...not again RAT!" CAT face-palmed.
"Oh be quiet...she had it coming." RAT pointed out.
Spring looked ready to pummel him but Bon held him back. Suddenly they are interrupted by Bonnie who comes racing up.
"We got a new problem." Bonnie said.
"What's up brother?" Bon asked.
"Netty sensed that the black bear had kidnapped Lolbit, you know Netty's staff never lies." Bonnie growled.
"SHIT! WE NEED TO GO AFTER THEM!" Spring yelled.
"They should be just exiting town now, we can still catch up." Bonnie said.
Spring glared at the brown duo.
"You two got lucky tonight." Spring warned.
Bonnie hopped into the car with the cops and they took off. Once they were gone, CAT suckerpunches RAT!
"You're so stupid sometimes."
"You know me so well."
"Ugh."
With Netty, she had arrived nearby Freddy Fazbear's Pizza to pick up Baby and the bomb. When she got her gloved hands on it, she looked concerned.
"Where's the trigger?" Netty asked.
"Freddy has it...but I can't take him on. I got lucky with Mangle here."
Netty chuckled seeing the knocked out fox on the ground. The two began to put Mangle in the car when a blur of gold rushed right past them and through a broken window of the restaurant. This left the cat and human surprised.
"Who was that?" Baby asked.
"No...it can't be." Netty gasped.
One thing was for sure...Freabear found the truth...and he was pissed.
Freddy spun around his chair while surveying the wreckage of the security office. None of the buttons to activate the doors worked, the cameras were disabled and all the drawers were off the hinges, people really hated this place. All he could think about was how he'd finally be rid of Candy and Cindy, and he'd get away with it. Instead Mangle would get in trouble for the crime.
"Hehe, such an easy plan. Now all I need is for Nightmare to get here with Lolbit so she can become my new servant! Heh, I'm glad Nightmare came to be...his views of my future are just too grand to pass up. And poor ol' Fredbear still locked up over something I caused, I had to get the power of the restaurant somehow right, of course I hired that child to cause the place to shut down, he was suicidal anyways." Freddy chuckled.
"So that's what you did."
Freddy froze, his paws going numb on the chair, his ears wiggling in familiarity. He hadn't heard that voice in years. He looked at the door to the right...nothing. But looking to the left, he saw a pair of white glowing dots directed at him.
"You...F-F-Fredbear?"
Immediately the figure rushed at Freddy in its gold blur before crashing into Freddy with a fierce punch to Freddy's jaw knocking him into a wall. He found himself lifted up by a hand around his neck. He was staring down the eyes of his older brother Fredbear, who was not a happy bear tonight. Freddy was at a lost for words.
"10 years...10 years I've spent rotting in jail...suffering...waiting...hoping that one day I'd figure out who did this to me. Only after 20 years of avoiding you that I managed to look around long enough to find the answers...AND REALIZE MY OWN BROTHER WOULD DO THIS TO ME! YOU! FREDDY! YOU TRAITOROUS SCUM! HOW DARE YOU DO THIS TO ME!" Fredbear raged.
Freddy was at a lost for words, not like he could say anything now when Fredbear rammed a golden fist into Freddy's chest knocking the wind out. Then he threw Freddy into a corner of the room and blocked his way.
"YOU'RE GONNA PAY FOR THIS...BROTHER." Fredbear spat.
"FREDBEAR WAIT! YOU DON'T HAVE TO DO THIS! WE CAN RUN THE BUSINESS TOGETHER, ME AND YOU! WE'LL GET RID OF THE CATS, AND WE CAN OPEN THIS PLACE UP AGAIN!" Freddy cried.
"FUCK NO! THOSE TWO ARE MY FRIENDS! YOU RUINED MY DINER, THEN YOU RUIN YOUR OWN RESTAURANT, THEN YOU HAD THE NERVE TO LET THAT KID DIE BY ME, MAKING ME BELIEVE SOMETHING POSSESS ME TO DO IT MYSELF...I WILL NOT ALLOW YOU TO HARM ANYTHING ELSE!"
Fredbear snatched the remote trigger that Freddy was gonna use to kill Candy and Cindy and snapped it in half over this knee horrifying Freddy.
"NO! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?" Freddy yelled.
Fredbear pulled out his phone and deviously chuckled leaving his brother confused.
"What's so funny?" Freddy asked.
"You know, Netty once told how people with lots of stress and hidden anger are known to manifest dark entities of themselves. I've seen Candy's shadowy entity, and now...I've met yours." Golden said.
"What do you mean?"
"I mean...your pal Nightmare...was created out of you anger and stress...but unlike Shadow Candy...he's working to stop you, to change what he has become...HE'S BEEN LYING TO YOU!" Fredbear said.
"NO! YOU'RE THE ONE LYING! NIGHTMARE IS MY BEST FRIEND, he's helping me kidnap one of those cats' friends now!" Freddy said.
"Not exactly..."
Fredbear then showed Freddy his contact log on his phone...what Freddy saw made his heart skip a beat. Nightmare and Fredbear had talked to each other earlier that day, Freddy could not believe this. Nightmare had done a lot for him, fought with him, hung around him, helped to keep his sanity. But at the same time...Nightmare had been getting as much info as possible and giving it to Fredbear. Nightmare had only been around Freddy for a year, and it seems his plan had succeeded.
"What...but...why...how did you..."
Fredbear shoved Freddy harder into the wall.
"Don't you get it, Nightmare isn't just some bear, he's your weakness, everything you dreamed of, thought of, planned...everything...is all in him. But even he obvisouly has a mind of his own...he hates it...he hates you, he hates that he was created from your twisted thoughts. All for what? To ruin my business so you can get your own quickly? I was hoping we could work together some day...guess not huh?" Fredbear sneered.
Tears streamed down Fredbear's face but he still remained enraged at his little brother, Freddy however didn't seem to show any signs of regret, instead he was furious about his plans being foiled. Plus he felt betrayed by Nightmare, this made two angry brothers now facing each other.
"Well you were never there for me." Freddy argued.
"YES I WAS AND YOU KNOW IT!" Fredbear shouted back.
"YOU HUMILIATED ME!"
"TO TEACH YOU A LESSON!"
"..."
"..."
"Well here's a lesson for you...I'M DONE WITH EVERYTHING!"
Freddy threw himself at Fredbear tackling him to the ground where they started to brawl. But the fight would be short-lived when a gunshot rang out...blood splatter followed. With Nightmare himself, he was getting closer to the pizzeria with Lolbit tied up in the passenger seat, she barely said a word...only looked out the window which was open half-way letting the cool breeze brush against her fur. She occasionally glanced over at Nightmare who's red eyes were glued to the road. After a long silence...Nightmare let out a heavy sigh when his phone lit up.
"Ah...finally." Nightmare made a small smile.
Lolbit turned to him confused...she just had to speak.
"What?"
Nightmare, seeing no other cars on the road, stopped in the middle of the street. His huge metal sharp claws clicking against the steering wheel.
"Fredbear...he's stopping Freddy...took him long enough." Nightmare shook his head.
"Stopping him? But you're with him." Lolbit accused.
"No...not really."
"What?"
"Look it's a lot to explain...but know this...you will not be harmed tonight." Nightmare turned to her.
His look sent shivers up Lolbit's spine.
"But you..."
"I know...it was only to convince Freddy. I want you to trust me."
"TRUST YOU? YOU FUCKING KIDNAPPED ME! IF I WASN'T TIED UP I'D-"
"ENOUGH! Look fox, I've been getting info on Freddy ever since I was created through his soul. I know he caused Fredbear's Family Diner to close down, Fredbear explained everything to me. He hired a kid who was suicidal, and made him be killed by Fredbear. He climbed him while Fredbear tried to get him off, then pulled down his head so Fredbear could bite him." Nightmare explained.
"So he wasn't possessed or anything?"
"No...he just believed that all this time."
"I see."
"Look I'm-"
Nightmare is interrupted by the sight of blue and white lights from behind them.
"Shit."
Nightmare cuts the rope off of Lobit with a claw and the two jump out waving their arms.
"WAIT!"
"DON'T SHOOT!"
The car stopped and Spring and Bon jumped out aiming their guns at Nightmare, Bonnie just stayed behind them.
"FREEZE BEAR! PUT YOUR PAWS IN THE AIR NOW!" Spring yelled.
"DO IT YOU NIGHTMARISH CREEP!" Bon yelled.
"I take offense to that." Nightmare growled.
"SHUT UP!" Spring yelled.
Lolbit then got in front of Nightmare surprising the trio of bunnies.
"PUT THE GUNS DOWN! HE'S HELPING ME!" Lolbit yelled.
"WHAT?" The bunnies yelled in unison.
"We'll explain on the way, right now we need to help Fredbear."
What happened at Freddy's was less traumatic then what happens at Candy's. At the twins' business, Shadow Candy had already got inside and was destroying the place from the main stage. He released several shadowy balls of energy towards the walls, tables, chairs, windows and blasted purple electricity into other rooms. He floated a few feet above the stage and laughed evilly as his evil aura illuminated the building and flashed dark purple far out the windows. People from all over watched from nearby or from far away, no one daring to come into the parking lot.
Candy, Cindy, Blank, Foxy, Chica and Chi arrived from behind the building wanting to plan a sneak attack. The backdoor was already off the hinges so the 5 race inside and managed to get to the back of the show stage and hide behind torn up curtains.
"Okay seriously you need to tell us what we can do." Chica turned to the cats.
"Shadow Candy can only be defeated by good thoughts and memories...thankfully me and Candy have lots of them. Though I think a little weakening should be done first, Foxy can you do it?" Cindy asked.
Everyone turned to the horrified fox.
"What? Me? I don't-"
"That hook should tear a hole in him, he's not like us...he's just an energy being, a slice could remove some of his energy." Candy explained.
Foxy sighed, he was going to regret this.
"Fine...I'll try."
Blank, Chi and Chica saw that Shadow Candy was distracted by watching his powers destroy the building. An evil smirk grew on Blank's face.
"Say girls, care to give this creep a good kicking?" Blank asked.
"Absolutely." the chickens cracked their knuckles.
With the plan figured out, Blank and the chickens lunged at the back of SC and kicked him hard in the back and head knocking him forwards. Foxy then raced up and stabbed his hook into SC's back and ripped down as energy exploded out of the cat's back.
"AAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
Cindy and Candy pounced on SC and started to pummel him and the other four joined in. But their beating didn't last long when SC grew very irritated.
"ENOUGH YOU STUPID MORTALS! I...SAID...ENOUGH!"
The six are tossed in different directions by a shadowy shockwave. Candy and Cindy slide a few feet away but the other four slam into a wall nearly breaking their backs. They slid to the ground and on all fours. Foxy looked down at his hook which was covered in purple slime.
"Gross." Foxy shuttered.
Shadow Candy got up and stared daggers into the twins who stood their ground. Despite being heavily injured from their own scuffle, the twins were still standing. SC shook his head and closed his eyes.
"You two never give up."
"Why would we?" Cindy growled.
"Because...no matter who makes the decision, the other will blindly follow...fucking pathetic. Look at yourselves, you two were busy beating on each other, and can barely take me on, no matter how many times you try. Actually..."
He paused looking between them, then stayed fixed on Candy who's eyes widened.
"You know? I always knew you couldn't make it through life alone, you were always helpless without your sister. Hmph...you'd be better off dead...AND ME TAKING YOUR BODY FOR MY OWN! But there's one thing in the way..."
Then it happened...as soon as his eyes darted to Cindy, Candy made the ultimate move. It happened in one second, Shadow Candy fires a shadowy spear towards Cindy, Candy lunges in front of her, and the spear impales Candy straight through his body lifting him off the ground. Cindy is left in complete horror and so are the others. The spear then vanishes letting Candy fall to the ground, a long slice wound through his chest and back, his eyes wide open.
"CANDY?"
Cindy catches Candy before he hits the ground and lies him on his back. The others were too weak to come forward while Shadow Candy just stares in silence. The tension was at an all-time high as Cindy stared into Candy's eyes, they were locked onto hers.
"Candy? CANDY? ANSWER ME!"
"..."
"CANDY?"
"..."
"CANDY?"
"..."
"..."
"..."
"Brother?"
"..."
Foxy grabbed his head, Chica covered her eyes, Chi's beak trembled and fell off and Blank let out a whine. All that happened next was Cindy's shriek which was muffled by Shadow Candy's evil laugh.
"MUAHAHAHAHAHA! Poor pathetic Candy...useless waste of life anyways." Shadow Candy scoffed.
"SHUT. THE. FUCK. UP!" Cindy raged.
Tears covered the floor making a puddle under the cats. She gripped Candy's cold hand tightly, almost breaking it. She ignored Shadow Candy's rant and insults about Candy and focused on Candy's eyes. There was just no life in them at all...he was gone. Or was he?
"Hmm?"
Cindy laid her head on Candy's chest...no heartbeat...but...she could sense something...something else present...in her own rapid beating heart. Curious...she wiped away her tears and lifted up Candy's head, his eyes still on her. What was she feeling...it felt so familiar.
"Could it be?"
She moved a paw down to Candy's, the pinched the index finger exposing the long claw. Then Cindy popped one of her own index claws before placing the two claws together, as she did...the two are engulfed and in a bright light blinding everyone in the building.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" Shadow Candy growled.
"AAHHH!" The others yelled.
The next thing Cindy knew...she was standing alone in a blue and purple void...nothing else was around. The restaurant was gone, Candy was gone, Foxy, Chica and Chi were gone and even Shadow Candy was gone. While she couldn't see anything, she could hear the faint sounds of stuff the twins said throughout their life, they all good memories where they helped, played and laughed with each other. It was a strong feeling whirling around her. She felt a bit cold...but at the same time...calm. Why was she calm? Her brother was just killed by a demon-like soul crusher.
"Where...where am I?" Cindy wondered.
She walked forwards but it felt like she wasn't walking at all, nothing changed. She didn't seem to be standing on anything either.
"What did I do? I feel like I destroyed space and time or something..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"Cindy?"
Cindy jumped when she heard that voice...her heart pumped faster and her head scrambled to figure out what to say. She bit her bottom lip as a hand...a blue furred hand rested on her shoulder.
"Cindy...you okay?"
Slowly she began to turn around, and too her shock, there was Candy fully recovered and smiling.
"C-C-CANDY?"
"Hey sis."
Cindy threw herself at Candy tackling him to the invisible ground. She both cried and laughed as Candy held her in his arms.
"CANDY! YOU'RE ALIVE! BUT...BUT HOW?"
"I don't know...I guess Shadow Candy didn't think his plan through...I just remember being hit in the chest, then I ended up here. Unless...I did die...but then you..." Candy rubbed his head.
"I...reconnected our vow...even though we broke it. Maybe it sent both of us into our minds...and pushed them together." Cindy shrugged.
"So you mean we're in my head, but at the same time in your head?"
"..."
"DAMN IT THIS IS TOO MUCH!"
"Let's just drop it get you back to reality...I was so scared Candy. Scared that I'd lose you forever...I'm not ready for that yet. I wasn't ready..."
Cindy broke down and Candy held her tightly. Cindy looked straight into her brother's eyes, his looking straight into hers.
"Are...are you sure...you're still here? And I'm not just imagining you?" Cindy stared into his eyes.
"It's the real me Cindy...I promise." Candy nodded.
The two stayed in a hugging position for what seemed like hours...nothing but silence in the air. The two had tears trickle down each other's backs.
"I love you Candy."
"I love you too Cindy."
A few minutes later, the two heard violent coughing in the distance. They broke the hug and looked forwards.
"Who's that?" Cindy gasped.
"I think I know who."
The two followed the groans and coughing for a minute before they saw what looked like a very weakened Shadow Candy coughing up purple slime, this grossed the cats out, but they were more surprised and angered to see him.
"YOU!" The cats pointed at him.
When Shadow Candy looked up, he was horrified to see Candy.
"YOU'RE ALIVE? I KILLED YOU! THAT SPEAR IMPALED YOU!" Shadow Candy coughed.
"Well you know what they say? We cats have nine lives, you just took one of them." Candy shrugged.
Shadow Candy immediately struggled to get up, coughing and shaking at the same time.
"How did you get injured?" Cindy asked.
"That cut from that fucking fox friend of yours cut deeper than I thought, to add to that, whatever this void is, its power is making me lose energy, but I'll use every bit of energy left...TO FINISH YOU TWO OFF FOR GOOD!" Shadow Candy snarled.
But then the twins just laughed catching SC off guard.
"WHAT? WHAT ARE YOU LAUGHING AT? I MEAN IT! I'LL DESTROY YOU BOTH RIGHT NOW!" SC yelled.
"How stupid do you think we are?" Candy asked.
"You're in OUR CONNECTED MIND DUDE!" Cindy put her hands on her hips.
"WHAT?"
"Our bond is too strong to stay apart forever, no matter what fights or arguments we get into. We've had much more positive experiences then most brothers and sisters do, so the good outweighs the bad. You won't be getting much power from any of our bad times. Instead...THEY'LL FEED ON YOU!"
Shadow Candy felt another wave of pain hit him, all memories and positive thoughts started to take their toll on him. Light began to impale him from all areas. His dark energy was fading away, his shadowy skin started to crack like glass.
"NO! NO! I CAN'T LOSE TO YOU MORTALS! IF I FALL, YOU'LL GO WITH ME!"
"Not likely sweetie." Cindy scoffed.
Then Shadow Candy flinched when the twins' eyes went black with white dots in the center. They stood side-by-side motionless...faces locked in pure anger.
"You're done..."
"For good."
"You're not welcome here."
"So why don't you do us a favor."
"STAY THE FUCK OUT OF OUR LIVES!"
Before SC could say his last words, the two sped at him, long claws outstretched. And with massive swipes, the twins shred Shadow Candy's body into pieces ultimately killing him. When it was all over...the two returned to normal, but their claws remained out. They smiled as they turn to each other.
"Mess with the cat..." Candy began.
"You get the claws." Cindy finished.
The two touched index claws before being warped back out to reality. The white and purple lights in the restaurant vanished and Blank, Foxy, Chica and Chi could finally see and were stunned to see the cats standing their laughing.
"CANDY!" Chi yelled.
"YOU'RE ALIVE!" Chica yelled.
"YOU GUYS ALRIGHT?" Foxy asked.
"Yeah...and he's gone. No more Shadow Candy..." Candy announced.
"Good, wow, a time I get a nice vacation and this happens." Blank said.
"Yeah, but for now, LET'S PARTY!" Chi yelled.
They all cheered in celebration...not knowing it wasn't over yet for the others over at Freddy's. Speaking of the bear himself...he and Fredbear had ceased fighting when a gunshot had rung out. The shot had thankfully not hit anyone, only put a hole right through Freddy's top hat. The wielder of the gun turned out to be Baby who had modified the microphone she bought into a gun...thank goodness for Netty's mysterious staff capabilities. Freddy was in complete silence from the realization of who shot at him, Fredbear actually thought the look on Freddy's face was hilarious.
"You should see your face right now." Fredbear chuckled.
"SHUT UP!" Freddy snarled.
Also now in the office were Spring and Bon who were getting the situation under control. Freddy gulped when Bon pulled out some handcuffs.
"We hoped you would've changed Freddy...guess not huh?" Spring shook his head.
"ARE WE FORGETTING THAT A LITTLE GIRL HAS A GUN?" Fredbear yelled.
"Yes." Everyone except the bears said.
Baby just winked at Fredbear before leaving outside.
"Freddy Fazbear, you're under arrest for...a whole lot of shit...like really do we really need to say them?" Bon said.
Freddy stayed silent as he's handcuffed and taken outside. Just as they exit the restaurant, he's sucker-punched by Nightmare.
"You're lucky I'm not doing more to ya! VERY LUCKY!" Nightmare growled.
Fredbear walked next to Freddy as they walked, occasionally making glances at him. Freddy knew how horribly he had ruined Fredbear's life, taken 10 years away from him...sure he wasn't tortured in prison or badly beaten, but he still barely got to see the light of day. And then for 20 years they stayed separated. But in those 20 years, Freddy was about to realize something.
"Freddy."
Freddy jumped at Fredbear's voice, it wasn't angry nor sad, just neutral.
"Yeah?" Freddy mumbled.
"Even after all this time...I've come to realize that you'll never change...you'll try to prove you're much better than everyone...but that's who you are. And you know what, I'm not even mad anymore about you putting me in jail...I realized that we both suffered over the years. Me in jail, you in an asylum. I'm sure some kids would've tried to frame me anyways...you did it first."
Freddy took all of that in, Fredbear was right. They both were pretty messed up...but Freddy felt like he suffered the most. He really needed to get his head on straight...maybe when he got out of jail again, he'd leave to correct his life.
"I'm..."
"No, no need for that Freddy."
Freddy looked up at Fredbear who was smiling, Freddy didn't know what to say next.
"Just...fix yourself...before you get killed." Fredbear said.
Freddy nodded as he's placed in the police car next to an awake but saddened Mangle. Nightmare turned to Lobit and Fredbear who was looking off into the distance as Spring and Bon left back to town with Freddy and Mangle.
"Hey you two, need a ride?" Nightmare offered.
"Yes please, I think it's about to rain." Lolbit looked up at the sky.
"Yeah...say...if you're a dark entity made of Freddy's evil intentions and stuff like that...wouldn't you fade away at some point too?" Fredbear asked.
"Nah, I may have been made from Freddy...but unlike Shadow Candy, I have some common sense and know right from wrong...so now I'm living my own life...though I now possess immortality."
"Lucky."
Once they left, Netty turned to Bonnie and Baby.
"What a mission...heh...we make a pretty good team." Netty smirked.
"Yeah...you sure this kid can keep up?" Bonnie asked.
"That's what you should be asking yourself." Baby scoffed.
"Hmph...whatever..." Bonnie rolled his eyes.
Later that night, both groups traded stories via group chat on their phones, needless to say both sides had surprises but good endings. Peppy of course was glad to avoid everything and made a few sarcastic remarks about it all making everyone roll their eyes. Mangle of course apologized to everyone about her role in the plan, of course it would take awhile for the others to trust her again. Everyone in town was informed that Candy's Burgers & Fries and Lolbit's Curio Shop would re-open in a few days. Down at the police station, Freddy was watching as Foxy bailed Mangle out and was taking her home, she angrily glared at the bear as they left. Freddy looked back down at the floor, a tear in his eye.
"Hey Freddo." Came a voice.
Freddy looked up to see Candy and Cindy standing in front of his cell, Candy with his arms crossed and Cindy with her hands on her hips. They stared at him with angry looks.
"Candy...Cindy..." Freddy muttered.
"We were told what happened. Just be glad they got to you before we did." Candy growled.
"Like Nightmare said...you're lucky." Cindy added.
Freddy refused to look at them, he still looked at the floor.
"So you came to gloat or something?" Freddy asked.
"No...just to see if you even looked like you learned your lesson...guess so." Candy said.
"Hmph."
"So you going on a trip we hear?" Cindy asked.
"Yeah, to clear my head. It's what Fredbear wants me to do...and I agree."
"It should help, though I wouldn't mind keeping our rivalry." Candy smirked.
That made Freddy chuckle.
"Heh...maybe. But I got other things in mind, you won't have to worry about me...probably for a long time." Freddy closed his eyes.
The cats looked at each other and chuckled.
"Yeah...do what ya gotta do...see ya around Fazfuck." Cindy teased.
Freddy couldn't hide his smile as the cats left for home. Later on, Cindy was making sure Blank was okay, the guard mech was happy to see the twins still together. Fred promised to come by tomorrow to check up on him. As she left the spare room, she nearly bumped into Candy.
"Hey Candy, looks like everything turned out okay."
"I guess so huh?"
"..."
"..."
"So..."
"So..."
"You okay?"
"Yeah...you?"
"Yeah...I guess."
"Look we're over the fight right?"
"Yeah...we should be."
"Good."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"So what about your boxing match?"
"Ah fuck that, I'm done with that sport. Heard my challenger cancelled out of fear...coward. You were right, I need to try something else...but for now I'm sticking with our business."
"And of course stick with each other."
"You know it."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"Cindy..."
"Yes?"
"Promise me..."
"Promise what?"
"That...from now on...we'll always be right by each other...through anything."
"..."
"..."
"...Candy...you have my word...I promise."
"Thanks."
Cindy playfully punched him in the arm.
"Don't get all soft on me alright? There's a thunderstorm coming tonight, don't cry and come racing to my bedroom."
"Heh yeah. Those were the days."
Cindy chuckled before leaving for her bedroom. Candy rubbed his arm and chuckled himself before going into his bedroom for the night too. The thunderstorm arrived and the peaceful rain seemed to wash away all the stress and tension everyone had, they were starting fresh tomorrow.
When it came to Candy and Cindy, nothing could tear them apart...it was basically impossible, no matter what issue they had, they always came back to each other anyway. That's the way they wanted it...and that's how it was gonna stay.
Many years prior...
A thunderstorm impacted the twins' town and lightning flashed around the sky, nothing really dangerous though. In their house, Candy was looking out the window in fear. He always hated thunderstorms and lighting scared him the most. Hiding under his covers, he tried to get some sleep, but another loud flash of lightning made him spring out of his bed and on the floor injuring his back a bit.
"OW! I guess cats don't always land on their feet." Candy whimpered.
Yet another flash of lightning and a boom of thunder made him race out of his room, he had to find shelter with the one person he trusted the most. Clutching his pillow tightly, he raced down the hallway to his sister's room. She always kept her door open as she was known to bump into things a lot when she walked in the dark. Candy slowly tip-toed inside to see Cindy fast asleep on her side facing him. More thunder boomed but Cindy didn't stir, this amazed Candy.
"I wish I was her sometimes." Candy sighed.
Quickly he moved up to her and shook her lightly.
"Cindy...Cindy wake up..." Candy whispered.
Cindy groaned before slowly opening her eyes half-way to see her brother standing there with his pillow.
"What...what is it Candy?" Cindy asked slightly annoyed.
"It's the-"
Lightning and thunder interrupted him...and Cindy took the hint. She rolled her eyes and made a small smirk.
"Ugh...you're still afraid of the weather, you're not gonna die dude." Cindy yawned.
"I know but...still. Can...Can I sleep with you tonight...please?" Candy asked.
Both of them had pretty large beds, larger than they needed. Knowing Candy wasn't going to just leave...she gave in.
"Fine...get in."
Candy eagerly got on the other side of the bed and tried to get comfy, Cindy waiting impatiently for him to be settled.
"You done yet?"
"Yeah sorry."
"Good, oh and one more thing, if you knock me off this bed or tried to cuddle with me, you're gonna get it." Cindy threatened.
"Yeah yeah I heard enough of your empty threats." Candy smirked.
Candy's ears drooped when he heard Cindy crack her knuckles.
"EEP!"
Thunder boomed again making him whimper and Cindy chuckled.
"You'll get over someday."
"I hope."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
Candy looked out the window and could see a few blocks over was Fredbear's Family Diner.
"Hmm..."
"What?" Cindy asked.
"Just looking at Fredbear's Family Diner has given me an idea!"
"Huh?"
"Well...maybe one day...we can open a business. Fredbear and Spring make it look so easy."
"Well their professionals."
"True...but we can do it too, together...as a family."
Cindy turned to face him.
"You really think you can handle something like that?"
"How hard could it be?"
"Hmph...only time will tell."
"Yeah...time..."
As the two tried to get some sleep, no more did the lightning and thunder bother Candy, he knew he was safe. He always felt safe around Cindy...and he hoped that together...they could accomplish anything!
THE END
And so we end the story...finally. What a ride, I can remember the day I wrote the first chapter. This story was supposed to be finished a long time ago, but personal stuff in life got in the way causing each chapter to be delayed too long. If you've been following me since I first started here, then you would know that I try to update every single day, sometimes I miss a day or two, but I try to get something out. It kept me very busy for awhile...but I'm glad this story could come to end on a good note...eh slightly. But enough drama...I really hoped you all enjoyed!
