Funtime Freddy's P.O.V
"I'm seriously going to develop back pain from landing on the ground about ten times now," expressed Helpy. "You still have pain?" asked Bonnie taking a sip of his glass of water. "Of course. A hard pat on the back and I'll be paralyzed on impact," responded Helpy. "You make it sound like you'll die from it," responded Bonnie. "I will mentally if that happens and I can't move it at all or I'm just going to make it worse than what I'm already feeling. "Then have someone pop it for you," responded Bonnie. "One of you?! All of you would just make it worse and probably break something else! I'm short remember?!" exclaimed Helpy. "Ah height doesn't matter, unless you don't got tough skin," mentioned Springbonnie. "Thanks for reminding me I don't have that either," responded Helpy. "To think I would be outclassed in complaining," noted Bonnie taking another sip of drink. "Yours was tolerable, though these days it takes a lot for me to be annoyed. It's kinda refreshing actually," added in Michael. "Ha! Wish I had your ability to block out annoyance," said Mangle. "All my complaining didn't help you in the department boss?" asked Bonnie. "Please, that title is not necessary right now. Just address me as Mangle, ok? Besides, that title never did stick," she responded. "Yeah because you said addressing you with nicknames in replacement for your title was unnecessary," responded Bonnie. "Well... Being as addressed 'leader 'never did stick well. Perhaps being addressed a different way might be considered once I reclaim my position," she responded.
"To think this was all your conversations all day," I said finally chiming in on the conversation. "Really does sound like a bunch of friends hanging out."
"Oh you would probably go nuts if you were stuck with us back home. Honestly, the only people you'd probably get along with would be Fredbear," said Bonnie. "Well we did have him here with us for a short time. Didn't say much but was friendly, that's what I can say for sure," I responded. "Sounds just like him. Very interesting guy. Never talked much except when he made sure everyone was doing their jobs for something at least. He was friendly, always did seem to be looking out for all of us... Guess he stayed true to that until the very end... " responded Bonnie. "He did what we could to save us, the same goes for everyone else that fell to Scott," said Michael walking up to him and placing his hand on his shoulder to show comfort. "Without his sacrifice we wouldn't be here to feel joy a couple more time during these dark times... he would want that from us... " expressed Mangle.
"I do miss the others at times. Ballora, Lolbit, Yenndo, Bonnet... even Elizabeth and Ennard. I miss the very few moments I had with them and those first few nights at the underground place where I found them. Things were simpler back then, I had a life I could look forward to," I responded. "And now my life dictates I be the savior of this entire world, or let it fall to a change that will completely reset the world to fit someone's vision."
"You mourn over our enemies?! Even if they would stab you in the back?!" exclaimed Bon Bon suddenly, as we all turned to look at him. "You think Elizabeth or Ennard gave a shit about us!? Well guess what, they didn't! They never did! It was all an act to deceive us and because of it Bonnet's gone, Yenndo, Lolbit and everyone else will be with that stupid mindset! Maybe you'll get yourself killed while you're at it!"
"Enough-" tried to say Bonnie to stop him. "It's alright, he has the right to be angry," I said stopping him. "You may be right Bon Bon. Elizabeth and Ennard were only deceiving us the entire time... But those memories, we had at least... you can't deny how happy everyone one was while it lasted."
I paused for a moment to ponder if it was best to help Bon Bon express his frustration towards me and his quest for vengeance, the opportunity was in front of me after all. If I didn't take the chance I would probably never get another, or this hatred towards me may never be resolved.
"Bon Bon-"
"I don't have to hear any more excuses on defending our enemies from you," he said cutting me off.
"Then what would you do if you had the chance to bring them back? For them to atone for their sins and doing?" I said as fast as I could before Bon Bon could stop me. I had managed to have my words get through to him, as he hadn't stopped me and wasn't responding immediately. "Would it matter?! Even if Elizabeth and Ennard felt regret or wanted to escape Afton that wouldn't mean shit after what they had both done?! You can't forgive them for taking our- my friends away!" exclaimed Bon Bon.
Michael turned to look directly at Bon Bon halfway through him speaking due to something catching his attention, which I assumed was the mention of his sister. Specifically why beyond that point I had no idea at the moment, as my attention and cause of being stunned stemmed from Bon Bon's use of words. What hit me the most was changing the wording to exclude me from it, basically him stating I was not apart of his life. He really was determined to erase me from his mind.
"Ok enough Bon Bon! This conversation is over!" said Bonnie stepping in front of him to end the feud. "This conversation will never be over! Not as long as this guy holds onto his false sense of hope by forgiving our enemies! Because of him we will lose since he's lost the balls and motive to do what needs to be done! You don't have the balls to kill Afton! Not just him but anyone that stands in your way!" exclaimed Bon Bon.
"That's it! Your-"
"Enough!"
The roaring sound of Duality's voice halted Bonnie from speaking and forced us to turn to him. I wouldn't expect Duality to raise his tone ever but I did forget he had the ability to do so regardless. "I think this aggression and behavior has complicated our training far enough already, which has hindered and limited the others to progress and advance in the current training. I would suggest allowing me to personally train Bon Bon between breaks, which will prove more efficient and won't complicate the ongoing training with everyone else," suggested Duality.
I knew Duality was making the suggestion so that Bon Bon wouldn't be able to lash out me as often and so I wouldn't be able to dismiss him from continuing to participate in the training. Duality was aware I didn't want to drop him from training, as much as it was necessary to acknowledge his actions and behavior. I just didn't think I would have to go this far to suppress Bon Bon's hatred of me.
"Freddy? Do you agree of this action?" asked Duality.
"I agree," I responded as I shifted my eyes overs to Bon Bon.
"At least you understand one fucking damn thing. Hope I never get to see your face again after this is over," he responded already walking towards the door that lead back into the house. The others stared at Bon Bon leave, probably having multiple thoughts running through their heads about his actions. At this point there was nothing else to say that hadn't been said at this point.
"Anyways... " I said trying to grab everyone's attention back and focus back on the training. "We're going to divert from our main path and focus on something different entirely, the unpredictable."
"You want to focus on something people can't counter or deal with properly?" questioned Helpy. "It's because our enemies, even William, will use tactics and actions we don't expect or have the capacity to react to. The enemy had already used this tactic against us time-and-time again, which has almost been the downfall of our previous missions," I explained.
"Think of it as the Chaos Theory," chimed in Duality.
"The what?" asked Bonnie confused.
"Duality, I don't think any of them know what that is," I said.
"But you know what it is," said Bonnie.
"Yeah. Basically it's a theory that involves random and unpredictable behavior systems that are governed by deterministic laws," I explained.
"Yeah you're gonna have to be detailed for people like me," said Helpy.
"Alright then. See, people will do random or things we don't expect based on how they operate on their morals because those morals they have differ from us. This can involve actions, words that are spoken, a way of thinking, just a few to name at the moment. The Chaos Theory can be applied to why our enemies act the way the do. We could always try to understand their way of thinking or how they operate and expect what they will do next, but there will always be something about someone we will not expect and that would be the end of us," I explained.
"Interesting. I do remember by father mentioning it once or twice back then, no surprise there, but I can see the comparison Duality was trying to make. William and the others actions and ways of dealing with us are based on how they all function as beings, but we may never truly understand why they do the things they do," shared Michael.
"And why, out of all people, do you know about this?" asked Bonnie looking at me. "I am William's creation, probably his greatest from a certain point of view, and he programmed me with most of the knowledge that can be obtained or be possessed. Besides, I don't retain pieces of knowledge like this one right away unless if it's mentioned or brought up in conversations.
"Yeah, you can't predict the unpredictable. So what?" asked Helpy.
"We may not be able to predict the unpredictable, but we can be ready for when things turn for the worse. That is why I'm offering a method to counter this problem when it does happen, the mindset of creativity," I continued. "Viewing things from a different perspective or seeing things we normally don't see, and using that new gathered information to our advantage can guarantee success. Especially if the enemy doesn't see things how we view them."
"You use tactics or methods against the enemy so they may have trouble or be unable to react to you breaking normally used methods, especially when they least expect it or are unprepared for it. Your opponent being unorthodox can be considered a great asset to them, and a deadly weapon to the enemy," noted Mangle.
"So how do you expect to teach us to be 'creative'?" asked Helpy.
"Creativity can't be taught, but it can be encouraged," I responded. Helpy's blank and confused expression showed he didn't understand what I meant, and while some of the other's expression did display a certain feeling of confusion his was the most obvious and expressive. "Creativity can only be learned by experience and your own mind. The luxury of creativity is that everyone will view and learn things differently, as well discovering new possibilities that will fit the way a person operates," I explained. "Helpy, will you come over here for a second?"
"Had to be picked at one point," he responded as he walked on over to me.
"Alright, I'm going to have you stand in front of me and I'm going to punch you," I stated as soon as he stopped in front of me. "What is this? Are you trying to use me as a punching bag?" he asked confused.
"Your choice if you want to be one," I responded. "I just want you to dodge or evade my punches, using any method or choice you choose."
"That's it?" responded Helpy making sure what I said was correct.
"Yep! That's it," I responded reassuring him.
"Something tells me there's a catch and I'm not going to like it," he said to himself.
"Whenever you're ready," I said to him awaiting his approval to start.
"I have to say I am, regardless if I have no confidence this will go well," he responded as got himself in a position to await for me to strike.
Seconds passed by without me making a move, while Helpy waited and seeming a little on edge. From the time I had been around him and from the little conversations we've had, he was capable of finding an alternative to counter my attack. How effectively he would use his mind to find a solution remained to be seen. I struck my punch as Helpy dodged to the left to evade my attack, a very basic and poor choice to deal with my punch. I lifted my left leg up and used it to swipe him before he was able to touch the ground since he was still finishing his dodge, giving him now chance to react as he fall on ground immediately.
"Now that's gotta hurt," noted Springbonnie.
"Ah! You really didn't hear me when I mentioned how much pain I was feeling in my back! God!" said Helpy laying up while holding his back from the pain.
"Well, you used a simple and predictable move, which costed you. If that scenario played out in actual combat you would've been dead," I said walking on over to him and sticking my hand out for him to grab. "What, you think I have the capacity to see any other forms of dealing with a situation?" asked Helpy as he grabbed my arm, which allowed me to pull him up. "I wouldn't doubt your abilities so soon, even after you've barely tried," I responded. "Let's go about this again."
Helpy sighed lightly as he got back into his previous position, while I did the same in preparation to go at it again. "Just try to use anything to counter me, whether that be the environment or anything else," I reminded him. "Right... " responded Helpy sounding not confident. "Ready?" I asked. He nodded in response as I waited for the perfect time to strike.
Finally the moment was decided as the motion of my punch had already started, while Helpy stared at my incoming attack, unsure of what to do or how to counter it. However right before my punch was close enough to hit him, Helpy suddenly threw himself under me. While my legs weren't fully out where a normal person would pull of successfully what he did, his size allowed him to successfully make that possible. Helpy landed on his stomach on impact, groaning a little from the stunt he had just pulled as he slowly got up. "Huh. Never thought a small guy could make something like that possible," noted Springbonnie. "Ha, ha. Very funny. As if short jokes weren't unoriginal already," responded Helpy as got up from the ground and stood back up. "I have to say that was quite innovative and was a method only someone like you could accomplish," I said congratulating him. "I only did that out of desperation since I didn't have any other ideas during the few seconds I had. I wouldn't call that innovation, just saying," responded Helpy. "Well in my book that still is innovation, even if it is simple. Not only that but your fast thinking still provided a path for you, even if it may seem like that idea was random," I said as I placed my hand on his shoulder. "You did good Helpy."
"Ah, don't go sending all your praise for a simple strategy," said Helpy in response. "I don't mean to spoil the praise, but I feel like anyone of Helpy's size would use or know of that opportunity. I mean, as soon as he went for his method I knew of what he was doing immediately. Just saying, that's all," stated Bonnie. "Ah you always spoiled the fun when someone had a better idea than you or used one before you did. Plus you always thought my methods were outrageous," noted Springbonnie. "Ok that was before I grew out of the old me the best I could. And to be honest most of your ideas are still insane," responded Bonnie.
"But they consist of ideas that are creative and only things she can think of, am I wrong?" I asked. "Fortunately, and unfortunately, yes. She does see things from a different perspective, in terms of her mind and how she thinks. Though that's not such a bad thing," responded Bonnie. "Hmm. I see," I responded. "Helpy, you can rest up for now. Springbonnie, how about to come over and demonstrate that mind of yours," I said. "Thank god," said Helpy walking back over to the others while holding his hand on his back from his back pain.
"Time to blow some people's socks off!" stated Springbonne as she strutted her way over to me. "No point in making a comment that doesn't work or apply to any of us," said Helpy. "Yeah, and no point in telling her that because it doesn't matter to her anyways," responded Bonnie.
"Alright, same deal as it was with Helpy. Avoid or counter my punch in any way you choose that isn't just dodging or anything simple that I can predict," I stated. "Eh. Easy enough," responded Springbonnie shrugging to show how not concerned she was. "I expect to be impressed than coming from all these standards," I responded with a smirk. "Ready?" "Bring it on!" she exclaimed getting into a defense stance. I got into my attack stance, waiting for the right moment on when to attack. She was very confident, too confident at times, but enough that seemed nothing could get past her. Even with all that she had went through, and had managed to work out with Bonnie from what I heard, she still held firm on her position and pushed on. That was some determination right there. Finally I went in for the punch, unsure of what to expect from Springbonnie though I guess that was what made her the way she is. Right before my punch had barely been initiated Springbonnie jumped straight up in the air, still leaving me confused on what she was trying to do. Then her strategy and plan was shown before my eyes, quite literally, which only cemented how insane her way of thinking was. And also how brilliant it was. She summoned her shield right below her, using it as a platform and jumping right over me, as it disappeared once she jumped off it. However, it was obvious she wasn't fully prepared and ready for this maneuver as she wasn't in a position to land on her feet and instead was doing a dive that was aimed for the floor. She immediately crashed onto the floor, as I immediately walked over to her to see if she was alright. "Are you ok?" I asked stopping next to her and kneeling down. "Uh. That worked better than I thought," she responded as she stood up. "My god. This is what I was talking about! You could've injured yourself!" expressed Bonnie obviously worried for her, even after acknowledgement she was fine. "I didn't scrap myself, so I count that as a win," responded Springbonnie as I got up now. "What you did still was a risk to yourself, and I could tell it wasn't as effective by how you landed and your shield lasting only a second, which could've disappeared before you had jumped off of it," I noted. "Still, that move is definitely something I would've done and you took the risk regardless. That is how you properly get creative. Good job."
"Great. Now you've given the 'yes' for her to do something like this again," said Bonnie.
"What? Nothing wrong with being a little dangerous. The only time I'd risked my own life is to save you or someone else, and I don't mind being the hero. You got nothing to worry about cousin," responded Springbonnie reassuring him. "That doesn't lower my concern at all," said Bonnie.
"I would allow all of you to show your creativity, but due to the lack of time this session will be cut short. Regardless I do hope all of you have considered these lessons to be used on the battlefield and to be of assistance when needed. All of you can take a break for half an hour as I must commence forward with my own training, which will be transferred over to the training later on... Unless I don't get this stuff down... "I explained. "Out-thinking the enemy and Afton will, hopefully, guarantee a swifter and better chance of succeeding. The only way to win is to thread carefully and decide what step we take on the path ahead of us, one covered in a cloud within the unknown. We've only begun to make that path just a little clearer."
