Just a Robot 5 (A Fnaf Story)

Chapter 59: "Funeral"

Bonnie's P.O.V

It felt like it had been forever since I had payed attention to my surroundings to however long it had been now. I hadn't bothered to check what time is was, though it wasn't like I could do so since I didn't have a watch on me. All of us were in proximity of each other: Charlie and Mangle were on the couch near me, while Bon Bon, Foxy, Springtrap, and Freddy sat at the dining table. All of us have just been thinking about what happened; grieving in our own ways. I already did my fair share of grieving, especially while I was getting repaired. Least most of my wounds and injuries were fixed, at the least the ones on the outside. I haven't felt this defeated since I lost most of my family and friends by Scott Cawthon, or the feeling of defeat in general. Now the last part of my biological family was gone except myself. All I was left with was the feeling of pain, something I would to live and die with; whatever happened first before the end of all this. I turned to the sound of the door to the garage opening and closing, as I turned to see who it was. "The funeral is ready... All of you good to go?" spoke Helpy's voice. "As ready as we can be," responded Springtrap, as we all got up now. It was time now to pay our respects to the loss of Springbonnie, and give one last goodbye. We all made our way towards the door to the garage, feelings of remorse being sprayed into the air. Some of us weren't ready to say goodbye yet. We all entered the garage as I could see the whole area cleared out with Springbonnie's body laying on a table, flowers surrounding her. It wasn't much to some, but to me it was a sight to see her being respect as an actual being. It was surreal as well, being at a funeral. I never considering the thought of being at one, and if I did I had hoped it wouldn't be someone so close to me. There were a couple chairs lined up for us to sit at, as all of took a spot. Henry waited for all us to be seated before walking up to Springbonnie's body, as Helpy walked over to us and took a seat as well. "Before we start I want to say that me and Helpy did our best to treat Springbonnie with respect and to your wishes Bonnie. We hope you this is suitable," said Henry. "You've done more than enough for me and my sister. Thank you both," I said. "Very well then. Let us start," spoke Henry clearing his throat. "Springbonnie. A friend to some and family to all of us. We are gathered here today to pay our respects to her, to remember her legacy and sacrifice. Almost two hours ago she give her own life to defend her cousin, Bonnie, and without her he might not be here with us right now. She did her best to keep the enemy from killing Bonnie and taking the EMP device away and knew she would not survive. Regardless she showed courage and the ability to stare into the face of oblivion and not be dismissed for what would be on the other side. And so we are here to remember her sacrifice, what she did, and what she meant to all of us. Bonnie, as her cousin and family member would you like to see her?"

I slowly got up from my seat and walked on over to where Springbonnie's body was resting on the table, as I stood above what remained of her. Most of her damage had been taken care of and her wounds had been cleaned, making her body presentable for the most part. The flowers around her was also nice to see, letting her be surrounded in peace. It was shame there was no heaven for her to reach. "Springbonnie.... I know why you did what you had to do. I still wish you didn't... but I understand why you did it... why you had to... " I said placing my hand on her lifeless hand as I held it. "Maybe... maybe you didn't go out saving the world... like you wanted... but you went out saving me... I know your preferred saving me over the world... I would've done the same for you... " Tears were starting to form in my eyes as they streamed from my face, the pain in my heart growing again. "You... knew it was going to happen... one day... the training, going to Flipside, battling William's forces... even when Henry gave us the choice to not fight with Springtrap and his battle... you still went with it... so did me... we've been through so much... and yet you never stopped cracking jokes... god you never did... never stopped taking a dull moment and making it matter... I miss them more than ever now... without you... we wouldn't have something to brighten the mood... and now that's gone... " I said with tears still in my eyes. "I'm going to mourn losing you... but I'm not going to take vengeance on Ennard or William... that's pointless and... you wouldn't agree with that... instead I'm going to continue fighting... put more effort into it... and be stronger... for you... for all I've lost... and for all I'll gain afterwards... I'll fight for what you fought... not just to stop William and save humanity, but this world... this beautiful world... you showed me the beauty of it was in my face all along... and now I realized what it meant to you, and now what it means to me... We'll save this world... I promise you... I'll... I'll miss you Springbonnie... I'll miss you... goodbye... " I let go of her hand as I shifted my way back over to my seat and sat done. Springtrap placed his hand on my shoulder, as I turned to look at him. "We're here for you," he said. "Thank you Bonnie. Now if anyone would like to offer any words about Springbonnie you may do so," spoke Henry. Mangle got up from her seat and walked past us and stood in front of Springbonnie's corpse, as she turned to face all of us. "Today, we lost someone important to us... to me. A soldier in my eyes, and family to my heart. Springbonnie loved history, exploring our previous world and what came from it, Fnaf World, whatever it's called. That was her home. She was my first recruit for our team during the time I planned on creating my own personal team; she seemed lost from this world like nobody wanted her. However I saw something more in her, a feeling of being disconnected from the rest of the world, something I had experienced myself. So I asked her to be apart of something where she had others like her, and she accepted. Never in my life have I met someone so intriguing and could always see the positives. Soon I saw her apart of as something more than a soldier; she became family to me... and now... she's gone... " spoke Mangle. "What I will say about her loss is she went down on her own terms, no one else's. She fought valiantly in the end, giving her own life to save Bonnie's... it's what I would've done... what any one of us would've done... she displayed the traits of a warrior, and in return we will do the same by finishing what we started. You'll be missed Springbonnie... we'll all miss you... However she'll never be forgotten and what she did for all of us. Only she will live on in our hearts and even when this is all over... You made me proud... " Mangle finished her speech before walking back on over to her seat in front of Springtrap, who seemed to be holding back tears. Mangle never was one to show her emotions to display her position of being the leader, as well as to not show any weakness. However it felt like she was on the verge of crying throughout her speech, even if she was doing her best to hold back her feelings. She was hurt from Springbonnie's demise as much as me. "Thank you Mangle," said Henry. "Would anyone else like to express their feelings?" Springtrap got up from his seat as he walked on over to stand in front of Springbonnie's body, all before turning to look at everyone. "Today we were met with the cost of this conflict. Springbonnie... You know... when I first woke up in Fnaf World for the first time and met Mangle, Bonnie, and Springbonnie, I never saw them as friends or allies and having to work with them never seemed it was going to work. I never would've thought we would get along... and yet here I am weeks later, mourning the loss of Springbonnie. I lost most of my family... my mother being killed, my sister who was deceived and manipulated, and my father who never cared about me or the rest of my family. I forgot what it was like to have a family, or even be happy for that matter. Being a murderer and a side to me that controlled who I was didn't help; filled with anger that needed to be extinguished. Yet all three of them, and the rest of you have helped me find a new family. Learn what it means to be happy again. Losing family... losing someone close to me again... it hurts... " spoke Springtrap. "There comes a point when I ask myself how many friends and family do we have to lose before we stop my father, until their deaths mean something. Will it be enough to end this conflict that has lasted for so long? We'll continue fighting until we win, until Springbonnie, and everyone that has fallen, until all their deaths have been for a better future. If Springbonnie, and everyone else died for nothing, nobody will ever rest in peace... " Springtrap walked backed to his seat now, as everyone, including me, seemed a little bothered about how little grim his words were. I think he was starting to lose hope in this battle, especially after Springbonnie's death, after all he had been through. He did have fair point: could we really win this conflict? "Thank you Michael. Anyone else willing to share their feelings?" asked Henry. Freddy made his way out of his seat and over to where Springbonnie's body was, as he turned to look at all of us. "I'll just say this here and now; today isn't the best of days. We've all had our bad days, for some this might be the worst. Every battle so far has either come at a cost, or feels like a defeat. One of those costs was the loss of Springbonnie. I've may have not known Springbonnie as well as someone like Bonnie or Mangle here, and others like Bon Bon or Charlie will share the same feeling as me. Still loss is loss. It still is human, a feeling any being would have to feeling something for the death or loss of someone, even if they have no personal connection to them. You still feel bad for that loss, how the people who are close to person are being affected and what they are going through. Which is why I'm here here; to honor Springbonnie's sacrifice in my own way," spoke Freddy. "She gave her life for Bonnie and our cause, knowing there will be no heaven or hell in the end for her or any of us. Her loss has been a blow to our cause, to us as a family, and to our future. We share doubts if things will work out in the end, if everything will mean something to the many sacrifices made and our lives we have given for this conflict. I understand the feeling. For a couple days I pondered if we could win such a war, come out on top, and if it was worth giving our lives for this world and its people. Losing Springbonnie, I'm sure, has created those doubts, making us think twice about everything we've worked towards. Let me remind you what all of this is for." It just seemed whenever Freddy spoke or would give us a speech to remind of us what we were fighting for, you seemed to find yourself listening to him. Mangle could always give a good speech or talk to get us to keep fighting, but Freddy somehow seemed to top hers whenever he had one to give. "We fight for a better future, for this world and its people. The viewpoint on robots or other beings living alongside them is divisive, meaning not everyone will agree with us existing or what we're doing. Still we fight for them, whether they like it or not. We fight because we have the power to go against William, at least do something and not allow him to change the world the way he views it. Whatever reason he has doesn't justify the lives he's taken or the people he's hurt, even if what he intends to do is for the good of this world. Killing Springbonnie, Michael's mother, all those children, everyone in Fnaf World, you can't tell me they died for nothing. They died for our cause; they're deaths meant something. However they'll only mean something more to us and this world if we succeed, even if it means we have to give our own lives to save it. We will not allow William to let his future become a reality; it is up to us to rise up and resist a future he wishes to impose on everyone. We are the one's who will bring forth a story and legacy no one will be telling but the world, whispering to itself on how a group of beings gave up everything to a world of people who may never know or appreciate what we will do. Today may have not been a good day, but tomorrow will be a better day. Maybe a good day. Not just for us, but for this world and it's people. May we all find peace and happiness," he said. All of us stared at him, once again inspired and appalled by his words as he made his way back over to his chair as he sat back down. Once again he continued to amaze us by his good speeches, maybe even his best. "Thank you Freddy," spoke Henry. "Anyone else willing to make a statement or have any words to offer?" Nobody moved from their seat this time, meaning nobody had anything else to add or speak about. "Very well then. Let us conclude here today," he said. "Springbonnie and what she meant to all of us will not be forgotten today or forever. From your friends and family, you will be missed." Henry walked over to Springbonnie's body before placing a sheet over her body, finally giving her closure for good. "We will never forget you and may you rest in peace Springbonnie," he said. After all this I had to say goodbye to Springbonnie for good, though maybe it was for the best. We both had been through so much and without her I wouldn't be here right now. In less than a day our fate and the future of this world would be determined by us, and if everything we've lost would be worth it in the end. I was hopeful though, more so than how I was at the beginning of the funeral. Springbonnie wanted this world to be saved, and so I intend to carry out her wish. I will keep fighting until this world is saved, and I'm ready to give my life to save it. This world is worth fighting for and saving, not for the world itself but for it's people. In a way they are our people as well.
