THE RIVALRY BEGINNING Elle H (EPHtheCoder) x Bill Cipher (But Not Quite)

3:5: New Shadow Fortune Teller

PLUSHTRAP'S POV:

On the way back to the mission, Springtrap and I had some Bloody Murder I-screams. We sure had some laughs but we know that this is just a temporary partnership for an assignment. We were down to our last bites now. Since Springtrap's easy to bore, I decided to darken the mood with jokes.

Me: Hey, buddy, what do nightmares and computers have in common?

Springtrap: Hmm, I don't know, what?

Me: They both use MEGABYTES! Ah?

Springtrap uttered a chuckle like the 80s semi-simpleton he is. But I got to admit, that joke I made was clever. Either way, I don't deserve to be the little jester, glad I'm the prince of Nightmares.

Springtrap: Ok, I have one. Why do some animatronics have springs in their feet?

Me: Why?

Springtrap: So they could bounce to the beat!

I sarcastically laughed at the bad joke.

Me: Mine was better.

Springtrap: Whatever you say, plushie me.

We kept on strolling the streets silent after that seeing the victims in front of us. Before they even took a glance behind them, we leaped behind a nearby bush to hide in. The blue and black bush was 7 feet tall so we were good to go. 

 MARIONETTE'S POV:

The rustling from the bushes really sounded suspicious but I decided to ignore it. When I turned back around to the shadow shacks, I could see two other shacks on the right of Shadow Freddy's. Speaking of Shadow Freddy, he was the shadow that lead the others to the purple guy about 20 or 30 years ago. He was also the shadow I followed when I felt alone, for some reason I felt the goodness within him. Anyways, enough in the past, must stay in the now. Directly, I focused on the shack on the far right that was greenish black with a wide window frame with a shadow inside. On top of the window frame was fancy-printed green words that read "Hszwld Xsrxz Fortune Teller". If only I could figure out the first two words but "Fortune Teller" really caught my interest. Trying to figure out if these predictions would become reality is up my alley, although I know Elle can actually see the future but I wonder if a shadow could do the same. So I went up to the shadow running the shack and saw the creature holding a dark crystal ball in both hands.

Me: Excuse me, uh, shadow fortune teller, I'm Marionette, you can call me the Puppet, and I was wondering can you see my future? And does it cost anything?

It's eyes remained closed as it muttered "Fortune will come to you now so you shall pay later" in a low British woman's voice. This shadow was greenish black like her shack and she looked like a fancy Chica of some sort but I don't know for sure.

Me: Ok then, whenever you're ready, ma'am.

She took her hands off her crystal ball and wiggling her fingers around it like she was summoning magic upon it. When she opened her eyes, her glowing white pupils were locked on the crystal ball that she was now rubbing, I'm assuming to get a good look into it.

???: I see...I see you and your friends fighting the nightmare animatronics, it will be a risky and tough fight for all of you. I also see that the most scared of all will become brave.

Me: That must be Golden Freddy.

???: Precisely. Anyways, the dream demon, Bill Cipher, will also be good help to you if you listen to him well, and a mystery villain will come after you very soon.

Me: Who's the mystery villain?

She finally looks up and glares at me with her white pupils.

???: I don't want to go in too much details but...

Suddenly something bit me, in 4 places, my hands and my legs, they were some kind of shadow cupcakes that had surprisingly sharp teeth. Groaning in pain, I knelt down as I tried to keep my strength together. The coders luckily heard me and looked at us just in time. The shadow woman grinned a white, shining, devious smile while closing her eyes.

ELIJAH'S POV:

The shadow started laughing at us with her shining teeth clenched then floated out of her shack and looked at us. We were still holding our Nightmare weapons which thank goodness, but I wonder, do they work on shadows too? 

Well, it's time to find out.

As she opened her hands, her claw-like fingers grew a foot longer and sharper then her arms grew...feathers I think. After that transformation, she really looked like a bird, like a chicken, kind of like Chica.

???: By the way, you can call me Shadow Chica.

She leaped towards us like a ballerina once then twice, then kicked all three of us in the face three times! Quickly, she backflipped back on the ground then summoned dark grey plates from thin air and threw them at us. We ducked through all of them but me and Preston didn't know they operated like boomerangs so we got hit a couple of times. Elle however because of her future vision luckily dodged them all and drew her sword at Shadow Chica. The shadow used her claws to try and shield herself from Elle's attacks, while she was distracted, I slid under both their legs towards Marionette. Since I'm the smallest coder, I'd figure that I could easily open the cupcakes' mouths and probably destroy them. So I took them off one by one then threw them at Shadow Chica. Her own shadow cupcakes actually bit her and she responded with a squawk of pain! Although the cupcakes bit onto her good, she still intended to keep fighting my sister. Preston already brought everybody else including the Marionette out of Shadow Street for safety. The two fighting girls both sprung up in the air, glaring at each other waiting for someone to make the first move. Shadow Chica volunteered to try and kick my sister in the face. However, Elle ducked it, held onto her leg, spun her round and round, let go of her flying backwards, then struck her with her sword in the left arm. It was close to her heart but I guess she didn't want to end her just yet.

Shadow Chica: Don't. Fall. For the obvious...it'll only bring you the wrong way...also....listen to the codes and ciphers...they might. Surprise....you.

Just like that, she faded away, disappearing into the fog.

Elle: There. Guess it worked. Ok, Elijah, let's find the others.

Me: Could those clues be useful?

Elle: Maybe bro, I'll keep them in mind but the most important thing right now is to keep the nightmares from lurking.

Those nightmares will pay when they see the coders, I just know it but I wonder, is Bill Cipher with us or still against us?

Hello, everybody, EPHtheCoder here, yes you'll get some free questions this time.

Where will they go for the night?

Is anything as it seems?

What did Shadow Chica mean by Codes and Ciphers?

Stay tuned for next time! BBBYYYYYYYEEEEEEEE!!!!!
