A Samurai, A Country, and an Animatronic
Chapter 5: Ugly
The crowd cheered and threw gold pieces at Hungary as Prussia appeared on the stage yet again.
"Everyone give a good round of applause to the amazing Hungary!" Prussia told as the roar of the crowd
became louder and louder.
"Ladies and Gentlemen! The Great Prussia has made up a little contest for the coronation of the King of
the Feast and Fight Festival."
"Mr. Prussia sir, what kind of contest would that be?" A little boy questioned as he raised a hand.
"The contest, my dear boy, will be decided based upon looks. And no, it won't be like those cliche beauty
pageants. This year, we're looking for a person who has the most scariest or ugliest of faces in Aku City!"
The people below the ex-nation glanced at each other in confusion.
Freddy looked down at his robotic feet in embarrassment.
"So come on up to those who wear a mask or costume!" Prussia ordered as men with said descriptions
walked onto the stage and lined up.
Hungary looked over to Freddy, took his hand, and gently pulled him onto the stage.
"Are we all here?" Prussia questioned when the participants nodded, or gave a thumbs up, while Freddy
looked around in a confused manner.
He clutched onto his cloak.
"Under mask number 1 is..." Prussia said as Hungary ran over to the first participant and took off his mask.
It revealed to be a human with a normal face.
The crowd booed at him and giving him a thumbs down, gesturing that he wasn't ugly enough.

"Und tschüss, punk!" The ex-nation snuck up behind the man and boot him in the butt, kicking him off the
stage.
"Under mask number 2 is..." Hungary pulled the mask off, revealing to be a troll creature.
Once again, he was booed and literally kicked off the stage.
The same process went on with the other participants, no matter what type of creature they were, until they
reached to the last participant, Freddy.
"Under mask number 16 is..."
Hungary pulled the hood off of Freddy, and onto his face, now realizing that the "mask" wasn't a mask at
all.
"Oh my goodness..." The Hungarian gasped as she pulled away from the bear.
Prussia turned and gasped.
"That's no mask!" A young child cried out.
"Is that his face?" An old man questioned.
Aku lifted himself from his chair, staring at Freddy in surprise and disappointment.
The animatronic took a few steps back, covering his face, and was saddened to see the people look at him
with such fear of his face.
"Calm down you freaks!" Prussia yelled into the microphone, making everyone quiet.
"No its fine, really. Its best if I went home." Freddy was about to walk off of the stage when Prussia
snatched his arm with a free hand.
"Nonsense! You don't have to go home yet. We have found our winner!" The crowd gazed up at the exnation dumbfoundedly.
"We all agreed that our King of the Feast and Fight must have an ugly face, and here he is..."
Prussia leaned against the bear and whispered, "What's your name, kid?"
"Fre...Freddy...Fa...Fazbear, sir..." Freddy studdered as he had his hand behind his back and stared at his
feet.
"I dub thee...King Freddy Fazbear, of Aku City!" As this line was said, the whole crowd cheered on.
Freddy smiled, brighter than he had ever smiled in his whole life, as he saw a sea of smiles before him.

He turned to find a rather angry Aku sitting on his chair, cross armed.
Hungary placed a plush made crown on Freddy as he walked off of the stage.
He stepped onto a chair and sat properly down on it, while strong men lifted it over their heads.
Freddy was being showered with confetti, kisses from girls, and lots of love as he was carried to another
stage.
*****
Jack beamed at the event below him.
Despite being shocked by the bear's features, he was glad to see people sharing their love towards those
who looked different.
The samurai also noticed Aku conversing with two of his guards.
He could not hear them due to being four stories high from the ground, and the screaming of the crowd, but
he could tell what they were planning just by their hand gestures.
Aku was pointing at the bear that stood on stage across from his, and the two guards rubbed their hands
together and disappeared behind the stage.
Jack didn't know exactly on what they were planning, but from what he seen, it must have involve the bear.
The samurai ran inside of the building, and hurried downstairs.
*****
Freddy held his fists up in the air.
He never felt more happy than when he left the warehouse.
He was sure that Foxy, Bonnie, and Chica were cheering him on from his bedroom window.
He was rained on with confetti and roses.
Suddenly, something hard hit his face.
Freddy felt the object on his face and saw that his hand was covered in tomato juice.
The crowd stopped cheering and looked at whoever threw that item at him.

"Now that's what I call ugly!" It was Aku's guard!
Freddy stood back, only to slip on the tomato that fell off his face.
A group of people started to snicker at the scene before them.
"What's going on?" Germany questioned himself when he slipped through the crowd and went inside a tent.
"Bruder! Something's wrong!" Germany told when Prussia jumped off of the ground suddenly.
"Geez Germany, you don't have to scare me like that."
"Where's Italy? You were supposed to watch him." Hungary bellowed as she looked over to Germany,
taking her silver earrings off.
"I don't know where he went, but there's something going on outside. That robot bear you crowned king is
having vegetables thrown at him by the crowd."
Prussia and Hungary stopped for a moment.
Germany unveiled the entrance of the tent for them to look at what was going on.
"This isn't what was supposed to happen next. Bruder what do we do?! What do we..."
Hungary slapped him hard on the face for him to snap out of his panic mode.
"That poor creature is being tortured by those people, and you're just going to stand around and panic?! I'm
going out there to stop this, whether it gets dangerous or not." Hungary ran into a room in the tent and tried to
be quick as possible as she changed her clothing.
When she was finished, she tied a sword around her waist.
*****
People tied ropes around Freddy, trying to force him into the ground.
Despite pulling the ropes off of him, many more were thrown over him.
He looked up at Aku, "Master Aku! Please! Help me!"
Aku turned his gaze away from the bear.
"There's a huge lesson that needs to be taught, little one." Aku chuckled.
"Stop!"

With that single shout, the people stopped throwing whatever they held in their hand.
Freddy looked up at the person above him.
He recognized the flower in her hair, it was Hungary, the girl who danced on the stage.
She turned around to face him, sat on her knees, and pulled out a handkerchief from her pocket.
Freddy looked away from her.
"I'm so sorry, Freddy. I didn't mean for all of this to happen." Hungary apologized as she began to wipe his
face.
"What are you talking about?" Freddy whimpered, "You didn't do anything wrong."
Hungary continued to wipe the animatronic's face until the mess on his face was gone.
"You!" Aku stood up and shouted.
Hungary turned around and pointed to herself, making sure if Aku was talking to the correct person.
"Yes you! What are you doing?!"
Hungary stood up, and swallowed.
"I'm trying to free this poor bear." Hungary answered the demon as she reached for her weapon.
"I will not allow this insolence! Get down from that stage now!"
The Hungarian drew out her sword, slid it under Freddy's ropes, and cut them, freeing him.
"How dare you disrespect the Great Aku!"
The woman tightened her grip on her sword, "I won't stand around and let you have your laugh in this
bear's pain. You mistreat him just like you mistreat my people, and those who only want help."
"Silence!"
"Nem érdekel!" She shouted in her native tongue, making the crowd below her gasp.
Aku glared at her with fury in his eyes, "How dare you shout to Aku in your native tongue!"
"I will never serve a false ruler like you!"
Furious, Aku snapped his fingers, making guards appear, surrounding Hungary and Freddy.
