I glared as Springtrap warped out, ignoring the pain from my now decimated eye. I refocused myself, heading to follow Foxy where he had taken the others. I took the time with each of my kids, crafting and replacing each of their damaged components, working until they were all at peak condition. Then came the hard part...

Figuring out what to do with Springtrap's animatronics. The Marionette was beyond saving, stubbornly refusing to believe that Springtrap had abandoned him, and the Balloon Boy (whom I had decided to call Billy)  was sticking with him. The rest of Springtrap's animatronics were acting timid around me, uncertain what to be doing now that the Marionette wasn't guiding them. So after a bit of debate with my own kids I had come to the decision to take them in, albeit with some upgrades to their functions.

Wither Foxy I had given an entirely new set of costuming to make him unique from Foxy, basing his design on another video game fox. As far as personality, I left him as he was, but gave him the capability to actually learn. That way he'd develop his own personality over time, being taught by Bonnie and Foxy. As for a name I had dubbed him Starfoxy. Next one to modify was Wither Freddy, whom I had remodeled the costuming of and renamed Toy Freddy, with the nickname of Red (for some of the remodels I had decided to borrow from fanart from earth based around the FNAF games, namely a specific artist whose ideas would work well here). Next up was Mangle, whom I had decided to split up, making one entire Toy Foxy (still going by Mangle however for simplicity's sake) and then 'Tangle' (an OC borrowed off the internet from Earth which was essentially a puppet for the Mangle which was a 2 foot tall 'toy' version of the original Golden Freddy, now split off using the spare head and components from the Mangle and a few new bits added by me). The final animatronic to patch up was Wither Chica whom... I had utterly no ideas for what to do with. My Chica eventually solved that problem by simply walking up, doing the job herself with nary a word spoken and started calling her Chicabra, leaving the two of them as exact twins in every way other than the fact that Chicabra lacked a bib and had green eyes. When all was said and done, my original kids carried the new ones off while chanting. 'One of us! One of us! One of us!'. From what I could tell, Foxy would be taking care of and training Starfoxy, Shade, Bonbon, and Bonnie would be taking in Tangle and Red, and Toychi and Chica would be watching over Mangle and Chicabra.

As for the Marionette and Billy, I would be keeping a close eye on them, having their prison be built in my own house with me constantly checking in on them... My ruined eye would make sure of that. I had made a mistake simply trying to place my darkness into Springtrap and then trying to bury and forget him. now he could be anywhere in the multiverse wreaking havoc, hunting my family... I knew that if they realy were Displaced then Kyth, Jen, Jack... Heh. Any one of them could probably trash him, and do a better job than I ever could. But there was still a chance that Springtrap would beat them if they ever met and that... I wouldn't make the same mistake I made with him ever again. Even if it could be fixed, I'd leave it this way... Better to keep me from forgetting, and I knew if I forgot this... There was still a chance I could forget who I really was. For right now, I had fixed all the damages to the town and explained to Chrysalis everything that had happened. She was understandably livid about the risk I had put her hive in, and I had promised to ensure it never happened again. Now I just had to make sure everything else in my territory was alright, and then I'd be able to start checking with other Displaced to find Kyth and the others.

I was pondering what could have happened to them when I felt something tapping my shoulder. I turned my head to see the Artificial Arceus I had generated looking down on me. When I had doubled over myself with my alternates, I had access to a greater pool of power but less control of it, so I had found a solution to this. Over time I had been seeding out power to the Arti-Arceus and the legendaries it created along with my kids (over time they would be able to access more and more of this). The Arti-Arceus tilted his head at me and spoke in its mental language (something I had created for it to use when I had been making it).

"Maker, I take it you have bested the demon of your past?"

I shook my head. "No Arcy, I haven't. He managed to escape me and flee into the multiverse... Hunting my family."

"Hmm. While that is troubling,  am simply content to know that my kind is no longer at risk."

Oh yeah. I had given his base personality components the desire to protect any of the Pokemon him or I created. Though those who left my realm such as Waffles, Picklechu, or Kai would no longer be under such protection. I nodded and looked over the forest I found myself in, seeing the different creatures of my realm. Arceus levitated something up for me to hold and I raised an eyebrow at the sight of it.

A megastone. I looked up at him.

"I made use of the memories you gave me to guide my making of the Pokemon to find and produce this. An object capable of enhancing the evolution of those who bear them. Of course, I have only made a few of them but with one upgrade. They do not require a trainer to be used."

"So a pokemon can further guide their own fate? Good, good. I made sure in all my base designs to include them having their own wills and such."

He nodded and I cracked a smile. I felt something poke my leg, and I turned my head to see a swampert looking up at me. He held up an arm and showed himself to have an armband on his shoulder, bearing a megastone. Emblazoned under the stone was the title of Stormbringer. I grinned ecstatically at this. This was the first mudkip I had created to lead the others, based off another pokemon from a pokemon I had on my games back on Earth. He was made as a companion to Picklechu when I had started off making them, as a leader to the rest of the pokemon I had made. He saluted to me and took out a pair of crudely shaped iron shields, locking one on each arm (assumedly these were sized to fit his arms when he was mega-evolved) and clanking them together.

"Swamper swamp!" Greetings maker!

"Swampe-swampert swamp!" No news from the front, all borders secure now that the Springtrap has fallen!

Huh. So he'd been helping Arti-Arceus in watching over things? Good to know.

"Swamswamp swampert!" As such, I would request to have a position in the city proper, guarding the attackers which moved through the lands and have been imprisoned there!

I grinned and nodded. "Sure thing Stormy, but not without a gear change."

I snapped a paw, converting his twin shields into properly shaped discs made of endoskeleton metal, as well as giving him a set of armor made of the same metal that would fit him both in his normal and mega-evolved forms. He saluted and dashed off into the city and I grinned. For the moment, everything was alright. I let out a sigh as I felt the familiar pull of a token, shaking it off and putting on a happy face as I answered the call.
