Chapters The First Animatronic Encounter
The white dots stared down the hall towards Scootaloo and the others. There were six dots, two for every person in the room. Scootaloo could hear her heart racing. Then the heavy footsteps started getting louder as they began again and the dots started getting closer. Scootaloo looked where Sweetiebelle and Applebloom used to be and saw them starting to crawl back through the vents. "Where are you guys going," Scootaloo asked.
"We're going to go hide because we heard the stories Scootaloo. We need to get out off here right now," Sweetiebelle said. Scootaloo nodded and quickly followed Applebloom. As they entered the vents the heavy footsteps could be heard as they entered the room. Then screeching could be heard in the rhythm of, what seemed to be, talking. She heard them rummage around the room a bit and then banging could be heard. They were crawling through the vents. Scootaloo turned around to see a Bonnie crawling along the vents. Then it started screeching and picked up speed. Scootaloo started crawling faster. They arrived at an intersection and they took a right. She hoped that they could lose it in the vents. They kept crawling and the screeches started getting louder.
Then Scootaloo felt something grip her ankle. She turned around and saw Bonnie again. It's hand was around her ankle. It screeched and started pulling her towards it. Scootaloo started screaming and Applebloom turned around to see what was all the commotion. As she turned around she saw Bonnie pulling Scootaloo towards it. She grabbed Scootaloo by the hands and started trying to pull Scootaloo towards her. Then Bonnie started screeching louder and yanked on Scootaloo's ankle. Scootaloo felt her ankle pop and her body slide across the vent. She also felt Applebloom let go and looked towards her. Applebloom was being pulled by an animatronic. She couldn't see which one it was but it must have been stronger her than Applebloom. Scootaloo started kicking at Bonnie and felt her foot make contact. She looked at it and saw she had kicked it right in the eye. Bonnie let go and yanked the foot right out of it's eye socket. Scootaloo felt more bones pop as Bonnie threw her foot against the vent. Scootaloo looked back towards Applebloom but didn't see any sign of her. She turned back towards Bonnie and saw that it was crawling away. Scootaloo followed it while it screeched in pain. As it crawled it put it's hands on the side of the vent.They arrived at the intersection and it continued going straight. It must have reached out to far to far to realize that it missed the turn it wanted to take. She followed it into what looked like the boiler room with the furnace sitting on the far end of the room. Pipes stuck out of walls and on the right side was a door. The Bonnie crawled out and started gripping the left side of the room. Scootaloo noticed it must be half blind and can only see it's right side. Scootaloo crawled out and noticed that Bonnie was searching for an exit. It started yanking on pipes hoping to find a door handle. Scootaloo chased after it and it was soon at the furnace. It yanked on the furnace handle and it opened. The lock snapping as it pulled. Scootaloo watched as it walked right into the furnace. Scootaloo quickly ran over and shut the door. Inside Bonnie started screeching. Scootaloo watched, from the grates in the door, as the animatronic went up in flames. It's suit burning and the endoskeleton becoming more and more visible. It started banging against the walls and the door. Then the screeching became slowed and so did it's movements. Then it screeched the loudest it could and Bonnie fell over. The only noises now were the crackling of the flames, the sparking of wires, and the generator in the room. Scootaloo backed away towards the vent. She entered it and started crawling back to the office. Maybe she could locate the others using the cameras.
She arrived in the office and picked up the mask. She slid it on hoping that if she put it on the animatronics would think she was one of them. She picked up the tablet and started switching through the cameras. She then saw the most horrific sight. Applebloom being torn apart by the animatronics. Her screams being heard as each limb was slowly torn from her body. The blood oozed out of gashes while blood squirted out of the torn arteries. Her screams became gurgled as the animatronics began tearing her head right of the body. Then the screams stopped and Freddy lifted up the head and slammed it down on a table. Freddy then crushed the head and looked up at the camera. Then the camera screen went black and on the top of the screen it said TRANSMISSION INTERRUPTED . Then the camera came back online and Freddy was right in front of the camera his smile as black as the darkness in his eyes. Scootaloo jumped out of her seat and started to scream but stopped herself. She then began searching through the other cameras for Sweetiebelle.
She found her sitting behind a little boy animatronic holding three plastic balloons and a sign it's name was Balloon Boy and she hated it the most amongst all the newer ones. It always said hello or hi in the most annoying way possible and it said it all the time. Sometimes it would laugh and Scootaloo would get shivers up her spine. Scootaloo set the tablet down and started down the hall. She was still wearing the animatronic mask so she hoped that she wouldn't end up getting killed. She turned the corner and came face to face with The Puppet. It's smile as wide as ever and it's eyes had white dots for pupils. it had rose red cheeks and it's face was pale. The puppet stared at her and Scootaloo held her breath. The puppet reached out and touched the mask. It seemed to be petting the mask. It then pointed towards the main party room and spoke one word," leave." Then it turned around and disappeared among the shadows. Scootaloo let out a sigh of relief and began moving back down the hall. She didn't know why but the puppet wanted her to leave. It confused her and she didn't like it. So she decided as soon as she got Sweetiebelle they were leaving rhis place. She soon arrived in the main party room. She started towards where Sweetibelle was. When she heard the footsteps Sweetiebelle's head poked out of her hiding place and then her head disappeared again. Scootaloo took off the mask and slid it across the floor towards Sweetiebelle. It hit the Balloon Boy's foot and Scootaloo heard a slight sigh of relief. She walked over and was greeted with a hug from Sweetiebelle.
"Oh thank god you are all right. I thought one of those things had gotten you," Sweetiebelle said as she let go of Scootaloo.
"They didn't get me but they did get Applebloom," Scootaloo said as she picked up the mask.
"Oh no what happened to her?"
"She was torn apart limb by limb." Scootaloo put the mask back on and started looking around for anything for Sweetiebelle to wear. She spotted The Mangle and went over to it. She took the mask off and started pulling out all the stuff inside. When she was done she handed it to Sweetiebelle.
"Well at least i'm not in any danger now," Sweetiebelle said as she put it on. They began to walk towards the exit when they both heard metal creaking. Scootaloo and Sweetiebelle turned around to see The Mangle crawling towards them. It started picking up speed as it got closer. Then The Mangle pounced as it screeched it's mouth opened wide as it left the ground.
Scootaloo shoved Sweetiebelle to the side as The Mangle's bare animatronic head barely missed her own. The Mangle clattered to the ground and screeched. It, quickly, started dragging itself towards Sweetiebelle as she backed away. Scootaloo grabbed The Mangle's legs and yanked on them. Without a suit to hold the limbs together they started to pull out of their place. Eventually there was a crack and The Mangle's legs clattered to the ground. The Mangle, oblivious to the loss of it's legs, continued to drag itself towards Sweetiebelle. Scootaloo looked around for something to stop The Mangle with. She saw Balloon Boy and ran over to him. He pulled the sign out of his hand and swung it like an axe at Balloon Boy's head. It cracked the jaw right off Balloon Boy's head and he screamed. Scootaloo swung the sign again and sparks flew from Balloon Boy's eyes as they popped out of their place. The screaming continued for a few second before his head started to burn from the inside. Scootaloo then ran towards The Mangle and brought the sign down on it's head. Sparks flew as the head was crushed by the signs force. The limbs flailed as it tried to grab the handle of the sign. Then The Mangle's body went limp and Scootaloo pulled the sign out of it's head. "Thank god," Sweetiebelle said as she wiped her forehead," that thing scared the crap out of me."
"Well it"s deactivated for good now," Scootaloo said as she took of the mask.
"Well at least we can get Applebloom and leave," Sweetiebelle sighed.
"Not exactly."
"What do you mean not exactly?"
"Well Applebloom is dead."
"What!?"
"Yes she's dead the animatronics killed her."
"Then we need to tell the police."
"They won't believe us. Just like they didn't believe Rainbow Dash." Scootaloo dropped the sign to the ground and looked to see where they were. The Mangle had chased Sweetiebelle into the back room where The Mangle was usually left over night. The bad thing was that the manger was going to fire her for breaking two animatronics with only a sign. Then there came a clanging of metal and they both looked at The Mangle it hadn't moved from it's place. The clanging continued as it got closer and closer to the door. Scootaloo and Sweetiebelle looked at each other then looked around the room. In the room was a large treasure chest and a pile of boxes. Scootaloo opened the chest and motioned for Sweetiebelle to get behind the boxes. Scootaloo crawled into the treasure chest and closed the lid as Sweetiebelle crawled behind the boxes.
At the doorway a metallic leg stepped into view followed by another leg. The owner of the legs was no stranger to the pizza places storage room. Foxy the Pirate stood at the doorway his hook rusted and his eyes glowing as he stared into the room. He walked in and seemed to sniff the air. Then he screeched and walked to the boxes. He sniffed again and turned around his metal feet clanging as they moved in place. His ears were rotating as they searched for any sign of noise. He moved to the treasure chest and sniffed again. His hand gripped the top of the treasure chest and then from the doorway another animatronic stepped into view. It was Chica. She screeched at Foxy and he turned around his ears going straight. They soon started screeching at each other. Each screech sounded like they were speaking to each other. Then Foxy took his hand off the box and walked towards the door. He looked back at the chest one last time and walked out. Sweetiebelle let out a sigh of relief as she looked around the box. She had the misfortune of not realizing Chica was still at the door.
Chica screeched as she ran towards the boxes. Sweetiebelle moved just as Chica ran straight through the boxes and hit the wall. Chica fell over and screeched as she tried to get back up. Without any way to get back up Chica was immobile. So Sweetiebelle walked over to Chica and grabbed the sign. Chica stared up at Sweetiebelle and screeched repeatedly. Sweetiebelle raised the sign and brought it down on Chica's beak. The beak cracked inward as the sign made contact and Chica screeched once more. Her lit up eyes flickering as Sweetiebelle brought the sign down on Chica once more. The endoskeleton's jaw sparked as the sign smashed the it. Then Chica's screeches became rumbles and then they were cut off as Sweetiebelle started smashing Chica's body.
"This is for Applebloom you sick twisted chicken, duck thing," Sweetiebelle yelled as she yanked at wires and pulled out animatronic parts. Chica soon layed still as Sweetiebelle stood over her. Wires dangled from her hands and her hair was a mess. Scootaloo climbed out of the treasure chest and walked to the doorway. She looked around and didn't see a single animatronic in the next room. Then she turned around and looked at Sweetiebelle who was cleaning off the wires on herself.
"Sweetebelle that was totally awesome," Scootaloo whispered.
"No that was revenge not awesome," Sweetiebelle said as she headed towards the door. She stepped out and looked around. Then her face became worried as The Puppet rose from it's box and stared straight at Scootaloo and Sweetiebelle.
Then once again The Puppet spoke," leave. Now." It moved towards Scootaloo and pet her hair. It went around her as Scootaloo shook in place. The Puppet stopped petting her hair and moved towards the hallway once more. Then they heard the rapid stomping of metal as Foxy burst through the hall door. He threw The Puppet to the side as he jumped over tables. Then his head yanked back and he fell to the floor. Scootaloo and Sweetiebelle watched as The Puppet pulled Foxy to the floor. Foxy then grabbed The Puppet by the head and threw it across the room. Foxy got up and pounced at Sweetiebelle. Scootaloo ran towards the storage room and grabbed the mask. She slid it on and picked up the sign. She grabbed it and ran out to confront Foxy. His jaw was mere inches from Sweetebelle's head as she struggled to hold the head back. Scootaloo ran at Foxy and raised the sign. Foxy looked up at her and grabbed Scootaloo by the leg. He then pulled her of her feet and lifted her by the ankle. Foxy screeched and moved his head towards Scootaloo. He opened his jaws and Scootaloo closed her eyes. She heard a crunch but didn't feel any sharp pain. She opened her eyes to see Foxy's jaw clenched around Balloon Boy's sign. Foxy dropped Scootaloo and grabbed the sign. He tore it out of his mouth to reveal damaged or crooked teeth. He then threw the sign and looked around for the person who had the sign. Sweetiebelle had gotten up and had run towards the Balloon Boy. Foxy dropped Scootaloo and ran after Sweetiebelle as she pulled one of Balloon Boy's balloons out of his hand.
She turned around just as Foxy pounced. There was a large spark as Foxy's jaw connected with the plastic balloon's handle. Foxy's head hung on the handle while his body got up. It's neck spitting out sparks as he moved. He grabbed his head and the balloon and yanked on it. The head came off the balloon and his head screeched. His hand grabbed Sweetiebelle by the neck and started squeezing. Scootaloo got up and ran over with the sign. She hit his waist but he wasn't paying any attention. She could hear Sweetiebelle choking as she tried to breath. Then there was a loud snap at the same time there came a bang. Sweetiebelle went limp as Foxy's neck seemed to explode. He body toppled over on itself and his head landed on the ground. His eyes flickered and then went out. Scootaloo looked over at the limp body of Sweetiebelle and saw the damage Foxy had done. Her whole neck was basically nothing and the bones were easily visible. Her throat had closed up and her heart had stopped beating. Sweetiebelle was dead and Scootaloo couldn't save her. She stood up and grabbed Foxy's head. She was going to need weapons if she was going to get revenge and she knew exactly how to make them. She started taking Foxy apart and grabbing what she thought was useful. She entered the side room and went to work on traps and weapons. She wasn't going to let them live this time.
Scootaloo walked out of the storage room with a shield made from the jaw of Foxy and a sword made from one of Balloon Boy's balloons. The shield was small but it would have to do. She wanted revenge on every animatronic that still existed in the building and she was prepared for it. She had set traps up all over the party room. Now all she needed to do is get the animatronics to enter the room. She walked to the door and looked out into the hall. It was empty so she stepped out of the party room. She walked towards the parts and service room and opened the door. Inside the room the rest of the animatronics were stuffing the bodies in suits. Applebloom's bloody crushed head still sat on the table. Sweetiebelle's body was limp against a wall and there was The Puppet cutting it's head off with a knife. She turned her head away as the last tendon tore and the bad dropped to the floor. The room smelt very pungent and it made her eyes water. She stepped away and ran towards the office. She needed to record this and get evidence. She picked up the tablet and switched to the parts and service room. She hit record and set it down. She wasn't going to be classified as insane when this was all over. She turned a corner and saw The Puppet again. It moved towards her faster than she could react. It grabbed her by the hand and started pulling on it. Scootaloo looked at The Puppet and frowned. She grabbed The Puppet's arm and pulled it towards her. She then took the makeshif shield and slammed it against The Puppet's face. The Puppet didn't fight, in fact it seemed upset. Then she heard a noise escape the mouth of it. It was crying and laughing mixed in one sound. An eerie, dark sound that rattled Scootaloo's bones. She stopped smashing The Puppet and it fell to the floor to it's knees. It continued to laugh and cry as it looked up at Scootaloo. Then it spoke and the voice brought tears to the eyes of Scootaloo. "Scootaloo, I told you to leave. Why didn't you listen to me," the voice was Rainbow Dash's.
"I wanted revenge. Revenge on these animatronics for killing you. But you're alive so we can finally-"
"No Scootaloo i'm not alive. I'm more dead than anything," Rainbow said as she got on her feet.
"Then how are you here," Scootaloo asked as she hugged Rainbow.
"I'm here because i'm stuck and you will be to. We'll be the best of friends forever and ever," Rainbow laughed as she gripped Scootaloo's neck. Rainbow lifted Scootaloo by the neck and allowed her to dangle for a second.
"Rainbow what are you doing," Scootaloo said as Rainbow's grip threatened to snap her neck.
"Making an old friend new," Rainbow said as she snapped Scootaloo's neck. She allowed Scootaloo to drop to the floor before she pulled out the knife. As she bent down. She started cutting the head off of Scootaloo," new friends are better than old ones Scootaloo. And you'll be my new toy. To play with and to control at my will." Rainbow took Scootaloo's severed head and hung it from the office ceiling. She then grabbed the body and dragged it into the parts and service room. "Here you go boys and girls. Fresh off the market," Rainbow said as she threw the body in. Even though her new face couldn't show it. She was smiling with the greatest smile in the world. She had dealt with her old 'friends' and now she had finished up the family. To bad some of them had escaped their new bodies and found their way to heaven. Twilight, Pinkie, Applejack, and Rarity were spirits who wouldn't listen. They wanted to be free but she wasn't ready to see her friends go so fast. It didn't matter anyways she was happy now. She wouldn't need to worry about disobedient spirits anymore. She slid into her box and waited for the clock to strike six a.m. She was about to make even more children happy.
Bonus Chapter Two: A Lost Soul's Revenge
-S-
Applejack was having a normal day. Big Mac was helping Granny Smith into bed, Applebloom was with Scootaloo and Sweetiebelle in the tree house, and she was picking apples. She had just finished picking apples from another tree, when there came rustling nearby. "Hello, anyone there," Applejack asked. She climbed down the ladder and picked up the basket of apples. "Musta been some animal or somethin like that," she told herself as she headed back to the barn to unload the basket. Then the rustling was heard again and Applejack stopped moving. It kept getting louder and louder until it suddenly stopped. Applejack set down the basket and moved near some bushes that seemed to have been making the noise. A rabbit hopped out and Applejack sighed. She headed back to the basket when she felt something grip her ankles. She looked down to see two pitch black hands pull her to the ground and start dragging her towards the bushes. Applejack reached out trying to grab ssomething and felt her hand grip a root. She tried to pull herself on it but the hands were to strong and her hand slipped. She was soon being dragged through bushes. She could feel the twigs scratching her skin and tearing her clothes. She closed her eyes as the twigs scratched. Suddenly the scratching stopped and she could feel the warmth of the sun against her face. She heard more moving and she opened her eyes. She was in a clearing that was surrounded by oak trees. She got up and looked around to find that there was a puppet in middle of the clearing. It's face was white and it's cheeks were rose red. It's eyes and mouth were like a dark void. Applejack walked over to it and picked it up. The puppet was damaged and the paint was scratched at. Applejack looked around to see if she could see any sign of the farm. While she was looking she felt a sharp pain in her neck. Her breathing became a gurgle as she looked back at the puppet. It's hand was on the side of her neck. She felt a warm liquid on her neck and raised her hand near the pain. Her fingers came in contact with a handle and then it started moving down her throat and back up the other side. The puppet then looked up at her and inside the eyes were now white dots. Then it grabbed Applejacks head and started cutting down the middle. Applejack felt light headed as the cutting continued. Then her eyes closed and she heard a voice. "Good night AJ. I hope you will like where you are going," the voice said as it became echoes.
"Rainbow Dash? Rainbow Dash is that you," Applejack asked as she felt the blade moving down her chest.
"Yes AJ. I'm back," Rainbow said. Then there came hysterical laughter as Applejack lost consciousness.
-A-
Pinkie Pie danced around the kitchen as she prepared cooking utensils. "I'm bakin a caa-aa-ake. Then i'll go down to the laa-aa-ake, and then i'll come back and ba-aa-ake some cupca-aa-kes," Pinkie sang as she opened the basement door. She walked down and turned on the lights. She walked around a wall of boxes to see a table with the number two etched into it. "Two," she questioned as she approached the table. She heard foot steps and the door to the basement slammed shut and locked.
"Yes Pinkie Pie," a voice echoed," the number two." It sounded familiar but Pinkie didn't know why. Then she felt something hit the back of her head. She fell to the ground and tried to get back up. Then her head was once again hit. She heard cracking and then she lost consciousness. When she awoke she was strapped to the table. The lights were off and the only source of light came from a candle sitting on a box to her left."Hi Pinkie," the voice giggled,"how's it going?"
"Who are you and what do you...," Pinkie yelled as a hand covered her mouth.
"Now, now. No need to scream like i'm the bad guy who just tied you in bonds you can't escape." The hand moved away from Pinkie's mouth and she looked into the shadows the light cast where a tall slender figure stood over her. In the shadows two white dots were where the head was.
"Who are you?"
"You know me Pinkie. Well you should unless you forgot about me."
"I don't remember forgetting anybody," Pinkie gasped," Dashie!?"
"Yes Pinkie. It's me and i'm still here."
"Well could you be a friend and help me out. I'm tied to the table."
"Nooohoohoo. I need you to stay tied down."
"Why are we playing a game," Pinkie asked with a sparkle in her eyes.
"Yeah. My favorite game. Scar and disassemble the victim." Pinkie's sparkle left her eyes. She began to realize what was happening.
"Wh-what do you mean?"
"I mean i'm gonna kill you."
"Dashie you're scaring me."
"Well that is the point. You're the victim and i'm the murderer back for revenge."
"Please Dashie stop it. This game isn't very fun anymore."
"It isn't a game! It's an act of vengeance," Rainbow said as she slammed her hands down on the table. She leaned over and allowed the light to reveal her face.
"You aren't Dashie," Pinkie yelled as she saw a plastic face with rose red cheeks, a wide open mouth filled with black, and eyes as black as the mouth with white dots for pupils.
"Yes I am! I'm Rainbow Dash!"
"No you aren't. You're a person behind a mask."
"Oh really. If I were a person then explain this," Rainbow said as she removed the face to reveal wires and a box along with two robotic eyes. Pinkie stared at the color of the eyes to find the pupils were violet.
"Uhm. R-r-r-remote con-control," Pinkie whimpered. Rainbow with her animatronic eyes. Pinkie's eyes were tearing up and she was shaking with fear, just how Rainbow Dash liked her victims.
"Dashie let me go and I can get Twilight to help you. We can help you feel better in your," Pinkie paused for a few seconds," brain?"
"No Pinkie. No one can help me anymore," Rainbow giggled as she disappeared into the darkness. She reappeared with a hack saw," and no one can help you anymore." Rainbow held Pinkie's arm as she slowly lowered the hack saw down across her arm. Then, without hesitation, she started sawing away at Pinkie's arm. Pinkie cried in agony as the saw cut deeper. Tearing tendons and breaking bone. The pain was unbearable as the blood oozed out of her arm and onto the table and the ground below.
"Rainbow please stop. I know someone who can help you," Pinkie cried," Twilight. She can help you remember. She's a psychologist."
"Shut up Pinkie. I don't want help from her. She's the reason i'm like this and now i'm getting revenge on all my friends who failed to help me before I was carried away. You were one of them. You sat there smiling with apologies, just like AJ. She's dead to you know? I had fun slicing her head off."
"Dashie stop you're scaring me," Pinkie whimpered as she felt he bone snap and the last of her tendons tear.
"I don't care Pinkie. I don't care at all." Pinkie's arm dropped to the ground as the blood continued to ooze out of what was left of her arm and the piece on the floor. Rainbow walked around the table and grabbed the other arm. She stood there for a few seconds and laughed. Pinkie contiued to whimper as Rainbow began to lower the saw. "You know Pinkie," Rainbow said as she turned her head towards Pinkie once more," i've always enjoyed the taste of flesh I wonder if my next victim will as well." Rainbow lowered the hack saw onto Pinkie's arm and started to saw away. Once again Pinkie began to scream with agony as the saw cut deeper into her arm. Half way through Pinkie's arm Rainbow stopped and started messing with a knife. She left the hack saw in Pinkie's arm as she moved to her legs. She twirled it around allowing the light to shine on the blade.
"Dashie stop it. Please, before you get arrested."
"Arrested? Oh please Pinkie Pie. I'll be long gone by the time Mr. and Mrs. Cake find your eyes in the children's room. Rainbow slammed the knife down in a more sensitive area as she giggled. Pinkie jolted at the cold blades touch and where it had been stabbed. Rainbow then removed the knife and went to Pinkie's head. Pinkie could feel the blood rolling down her skin. Without any hesitation Rainbow started cutting off Pinkie's hair. As the hair fell to the ground so did drops of blood. The hair became blood red and soon stuck together. "Hey Pinkie? I over heard you planning to bake cupcakes later. How bout we bake them now." Rainbow stabbed the knife into Pinkie's left hand. She then began sawing away at the arm once more. As the last of Pinkie's left arm snapped she began to feel light headed.
"Dashie..... i'm sorry okay," Pinkie cried," i'm sorry for letting them take you away. I'm sorry you are the way you are but please oh please let me live."
"You know Pinkie. I'm sorry as well. I'm sorry i'm allowing you to live so long. Let me just end it here." Rainbow disappeared into the dark and reappeared with a butcher knife. Rainbow walked to Pinkie's right and brought the knife up above her head. With one strike, Rainbow brought the knife down on Pinkie's chest and they both heard her rib cage snap and crack as her skin tore open. The knife went through Pinkie's esophagus. Pinkie's cries of pain became antagonized gurgles as the blood began to drain into her throat. Rainbow reached into Pinkie's chest and tugged on her organs. Pinkie began to close her eyes as she looked up at Rainbow Dash. Her thoughts became slowed and her vision became blood red as she felt a blade slice across her forehead. Pinkie's eyes closed and Rainbow's maniacal laughter echoed in her head. Then all became quiet as Pinkie thought no more.

Fluttershy sat on the floor of her cottage attending to a small dog who had hurt its paw. Fluttershy finished wrapping it up and got up. "There you go poor little animal. Now make sure to not hurt yourself again," Fluttershy giggled as she walked into the kitchen. She was preparing Angel a salad when she heard a knocking at the door. She set down the bowl of salad and went to the door. She opened the door to find a tray of cupcakes on the ground. In front of the tray was a note that had the number three on it. Sheblooked at it with curiosity. Then she picked up the note and flipped it over. The writing was Pinkie's so she guessed Pinkie had a couple extra and decided to give them to Fluttershy.
Hey Fluttershy have a few cupcakes I baked up. Hope you like them it's a new recipe.
Pinkie Pie
Fluttershy picked up the tray and went inside. She set the cupcakes on the table in the kitchen and picked one up. She peeled away the rapper and took a bite. The cupcakes were mushy and filled woth red chunks of something. It was hard to tell what they were but they looked like dried up veins. Inside the crunchy bits was red liquid. Fluttershy threw up at the realization she was eating a cupcake filed with meat that still had blood in it. She dropped the cupcake and went to the sink. Her puke ran down the drain slowly. She could see the blood and the chunks of veins. She looked out the window and saw a puppet staring at her. She screamed and fell over trying to catch her breath.
She heard the front door open and she looked over at the living room. A tall slender figure wore a trench coat and a stetson as it entered her house. The figures eyes were visible under the stetson. They were pure white. They looked like stars in the night underneath it's clothing. The figure then picked up Fluttershy and started carrying her out back. In the back was an old shed with a wood chipper inside. The figure continued to approach the shed as Fluttershy tried frantically to escape and scream. But her voice wouldn't seem to work. The figure opened the shed and walked over to the wood chipper. It pulled a lever on it and the machine came to life. The figure then slammed Fluttershy to the ground as it pulled a knife from its coat. With one jab the figure jabbed the knife into Fluttershy and cut a hole in her chest. From there the figure pulled out Fluttershy's heart and stuffed it into its pockets. Then it laughed a familiar laugh as it picked up Fluttershy again. The figure brought the slowly dying Fluttershy to the machine and raised her up to the mouth of the machine. Fluttershy finally let out a scream only to be cut off by the blades of the wood chipper as she was swallowed up by the blades and the machine.

Rarity walked around her boutique as she continued to prepare a dress for a client. Her hair was in a mess and her glasses were crooked. She brushed back some strands if hair as she continued to work. She was in the middle of putting the finishing touches on the dress when the door bell rang. "Hold on a minute," she said as she put down her needle and string and went to the door. She brushed her hair into a more decent condition before opening the door. No one was out there except for a puppet. It's body was completely ruined and looked like it could use some fixing. "Oh you poor thing let me fix you up," Rarity said as she picked it up and walked inside. She set the puppet down on a table and went to retrieve some black thread from her storage. When she returned the puppet wasn't where she left it. She looked around and groaned. "Sweetiebelle probably took it. Always taking things I pick up that seem interesting to her. If she ruins it she ruins it," Rarity told herself as she went back to work on finishing the dress.
She finished the dress and wiped her forehead as she looked at it. "Another fabulous piece of work Rarity, you really have outdone yourself once more." Rarity went to the kitchen to get a glass of water. She opened the door walked over to the sink. She grabbed a cup and turned on the faucet. She filled the cup with water and turned around. She came face to face with the puppet. Except this time the puppet had white dots in its eyes. Rarity jumped back and hit her back against the counter. The puppet floated in front of her. It's smile made it seem all the more ominous. Without warning the puppet pounced on to her. It had a piece of clothe in its hand and tied it around her mouth. It then proceeded to tie her ankles and then wrists together. Rarity tried to fight but the puppet was surprisingly strong as it lifted her up and slammed her onto the table. From there the puppet flipped her over and bent her head back. It put her hand in front of her. At first she didn't see anything and then she noticed the needle. "No please," she screamed as the hand turned the needle around and stabbed it into her left eye. Her other eye saw the hand pull out another needle and once again it stabbed the needle into her right eye. Rarity was blind and she could feel the needles in her eyes. The puppet let her go and she slid off the table. She reached around her searching for anything to help herself get up. She felt a chair and tried to get up on it. The puppet pulled the chair out from under her and she fell forward. The needles stabbed further into her eyes as her face hit the ground. She screamed in more pain as the puppet jabbed a large knife on her fingers. She felt the bones snap and muscles tear as the knife cut them off. It then proceeded to do the same to the others. The puppet then flipped her over and jabbed the knife into her chest. It pulled downward opening a large cut in her chest. Rarity felt a tugging on the inside of her chest as the puppet continued to mutilate her body. Rarity was soon drenched in blood and she felt very light headed.
"Hey Rarity good night," a voice said. It sounded like Rainbow Dash's. Rarity tried to respond but her body was to weak. She lost consciousness as a blade went straight through her forehead.

Twilight sat on her backyard porch while Spike lied in his dog house asleep. Twilight was staring up at the night sky. Her thoughts were elsewhere though. She was thinking about Scootaloo and her constant requests to sleep at friends houses. Maybe it was because Scootaloo was still upset about Twilight's choice. She just hoped it wouldn't be like that forever. She stood up and went back inside. On her kitchen counter was a cupcake. "Oh Pinkie. Once again you decide to drop by all stealthy," Twilight joked. She picked up the cupcake and took a bite out of it. It felt crunchy and very mushy. Twilight looked at it. She got a glimpse at teeth and pink hair. Twilight dropped her cupcake and ran to her phone. She was about to dial nine one one when the power went out. "Alright wonderful I guess it'll wait until I finish turning on the electricity again," Twilight groaned as she dug through her cabinet to get her flash light.
She opened the door to the basement and went downstairs. She walked through a few hallways before reaching the power room. She opened it and flipped a few switches. The power slowly came back online and Twilight looked around. She stopped in her track as she saw the puppet sitting at the end of the hallway. It's smile scared her and she closed her eyes. She must have been dreaming or imagining things. When she opened them the puppet was at the doorway. It began to slowly move towards Twilight as she slowly backed up. She began to her electrical sparks as she approached the wall. She looked around to see hundreds of cut wires. Each surging with electricity. She turned back around to see the puppet right in front of her. It shoved her and she fell down. Her back striking the wires. The whole room began to flash as Twilight was shocked repeatedly. Her hair was soon on fire and her clothes were burning as well. Her screams echoed in the room along with another noise. It was laughter and it was coming from the puppet.
"Hi Twilight are you enjoying my shocking return," the puppet asked. Twilight couldn't answer as she continued to scream in constant pain. The puppet picked up another wire and jabbed it into her now burning lower body. The puppet grabbed four more and jabbed them into her ears and eyes. Soon her insides seemed to be burning. Then all the power cut out once more. The puppet looked down at the charred carcass of Twilight Sparkle. "Good night Twilight. Ha I rhymed just for you," the puppet laughed. It turned around and left the room.

Rainbow sat in her box admiring the new collection of old friends. The strand of pink hair that had survived the wood chipper, the stetson she decided to keep, one of the few cupcakes she made out of Pinkie, a diamond necklace off the neck of Rarity, and a book with glasses from Twilight's room. "Good night all of you for tomorrow we have a show to put on."
Something has gone wrong. We don't seem to have an archived copy of that chapter. Scootaloo sat in a chair looking out across the party room. The room was filled with children and adults of all sizes. On the far end of the room music was being played by three animatronics on a stage. Freddy, Bonnie, and Chica were all moving to the song as Freddy's mouth opened and closed. Bonnie plucked at the strings of his guitar and Chica swayed back and forth with her cupcake in one hand. In a corner sat children pulling and yanking at an animatronic. She was originally named Foxy but the employees refered to her as The Mangle.
Scootaloo enjoyed her job, well almost enjoyed her job. She was the day guard at Freddy Fazbear's Pizza. It was funny, to her, since sixteen years ago Rainbow Dash had been killed by a puppet created by the same company she now worked for. The only rooms in the building she hated were the parts and service room and the prize corner. The parts and service room is where she had to go to get pieces for Mangle. The problem was that the old animatronics were in that room. She had the job of taking pieces off of them with a screwdriver. Every time she'd enter the room the squeaking of rusted metal could be heard as the animatronic reached out and tried to grab her with the parts they could barely move. She could never get herself close to Freddy as he seemed to have the second fastest reaction of them all. He also creeped her out the most, besides Chica. His arms had holes in them where wires poked out of. His eyes were always this eerie bright yellow and they followed her everywhere. Foxy sat in a back corner his cracked head revealing the endoskeleton underneath and his past scars, from before the reopening, were larger and more noticeable. Chica sat on the right wall of the room. Her head having been picked at plenty of times, to get parts. Now revealed her whole endoskeleton's jaw and the wires that made it move. Her eyes now seemed to bulge from her head since her eyelids had also been removed. Her hands were now missing as they had been used on the newer Chica and now were just wires dangling. Her suit was in no better condition than Freddy's. Holes revealed wires and pieces of the endoskeleton. Bonnie was a whole different story. His whole face had been removed for the night guard to wear. No one understood why that was necessary but they just thought he might like something to show his kids. The only indication Scootaloo got that Bonnie was watching her was the two red lights that replaced his eyes. He would turn his head creating loud screeches of rusted metal and the red lights were always aimed at her when this happened. One of his arms was now gone along with part of an ear. These were why she feared that room. The stories she was told were horrific and she never wanted to die at the hands of the animatronics.
The reason she hated the prize corner was because a replica of the puppet they burned, the day of Rainbow's death, was in a box. The box opened and he popped out when the music stopped. When the music stopped she'd have to go over and crank it herself. During that time the puppet seemed to watch her every move. Once and a while she'd catch it leaning over trying to get a good look at what she was doing. She'd then shove the puppet in the box and close the lid. She hated that puppet so much to the point she'd break its head the moment she quit or got fired. As of now it was almost closing time and she was actually glad because it was the weekend and that meant she didn't need to come in for work tomorrow. Tomorrow was a bad day for her though. It was the day that Rainbow Dash's dead body was found in her cell. She always went to Rainbow's grave and placed a flower at the foot of the tombstone. Not far from that stone another five sat. Each one the names of friends now passed on. She sometimes wondered what it was like where they were now.
She usually spent her time after that with Sweetibelle and Applebloom. Sweetiebelle had taken over the family business and spent most of her time making dresses. She had kept her cotton candy hair style and her hair was still pink and bright purple. Applebloom worked on her family's farm. Her hair was now very rough looking. She never seemed to comb it unless it got dirty. Her hair was still red. Scootaloo had her purple hair and she worked at Freddy Fazbear's Pizza. Applebloom was the bigger of the three, by only a few inches. Scootaloo enjoyed the shenanigans they still had. They sometimes even talked and laughed about all the things they had done in the past. She always had the good and the bad memories. Scootaloo got up from her chair and walked to the exit. She looked back at the empty halls of the pizza place and walked out the door.
She arrived home and opened the door. The apartment was empty. Just as she liked it. On the wall were the few photos she had of her and Rainbow Dash. She walked into the living room and threw her coat on the couch. She set her phone on the table and picked up the remote. She was about to turn on the tv when her cell phone rang. She picked it up and looked at the number. It was the pizza place. She picked up the phone and answered the call," hello. Scootaloo Dash speaking."
"Hello. Sorry to disturb you after you've left. Now I know that you have plans with it being your weekend off due to mhm reasons. But i'm going to need to call you back for tonight's night shift." The manager sounded worried for some strange reason.
"But," Scootaloo said," I...... fine. I'll be there in a few minutes."
"Alright. Thank you and good night," the phone clicked and the call ended. To think she'd have to go back to work after she already left. She got off the couch grabbed her coat and walked to her door. She opened it and walked down the hall. She called the elevator and when it arrived Sweetiebelle and Applebloom stood inside.
"Hey there Scootaloo you ready fer some fun," Applebloom asked.
"Sorry Applebloom i've been asigned the night shift tonight," Scootaloo said as she stepped into the elevator.
"Well can't we stick around with you," Sweetiebelle said as the doors shut and the elevator started going down.
"Sorry girls. The boss doesn't like visitors after hours," Scootaloo said.
"Alright fine. Well see ya tomorrow," Applebloom said as the elevator stopped moving and the doors opened and they stepped out.
"Yeah see you tomorrow," Scootaloo said as she walked towards the doors. On the t.v. she saw the news.
"Only minutes ago a man was arrested for the murder of five children. The bodies have not been found yet but the search will begin tomorrow morning. If you have any information as to which children have gone missing please contact the police."
Scootaloo didn't hear anything else as she walked out the door. She got on her motorcycle and started the ignition. She drove down to Freddy Fazbear's and walked through the door to meet up with the manager. As she entered his office the manager was putting on his coat. "Alright Scootaloo come with me," the manger said as he left his room and walked down a hall. Scootaloo followed while she looked at how eerie the place looked at night. The drawn pictures seemed much more ominous. They walked down another hall and came to a small room. On each side was a vent each with a button above it that said "light" underneath. In the middle of the room was a table with a fan and a small tablet on it. Behind it was a chair and beside the chair was the face of Bonnie. Scootaloo stared at it and realized that it wasn't attached to anything the eyes weren't in the sockets and it seemed empty. When she looked around a bit more she realized the manager was gone and she was all alone. So she sat down and picked up the mask. The mask was worn like a welding mask. Then she heard foot steps and looked around for anything to defend herself with. She saw a flashlight and picked it up. Instead of shining it down the hall way she crawled underneath the table and prepared to hit the intruders legs. The foot steps began to get louder. They were coming down the hall towards the room. Then it stopped right outside of the light. Scootaloo could hear her heart beating. The thing in the hall turned around and the noise got quieter. A few seconds later she heard banging. It was coming in throught one of the vents. Then there came another set of banging. There were two things after her. She looked to her left and right but saw nothing. Then she got up and went to the vent she hit the light button and Applebloom's head became visible. Scootaloo hit the flash light on Applebloom's head and screamed.
"Ow," Applebloom groaned as she rubbed her head," what in the hay was that for?"
"Sorry," Scootaloo said as she let out a sigh of relief," I thought you were a robber or a criminal." Then Sweetiebelle stepped out of the other vent. "Hold on. Why are you guys even here? I thought I said you can't come in here after hours?"
"Well who said anyone had ta know," Applebloom asked as she climbed out of the vent.
"Well you guys need to leave you're going to get me in trouble."
"Please Scootaloo we just want to spend this one night with you. This one night where you should be enjoying your time with us," Sweetiebelle begged.
"Alright fine. But if the boss finds out....... you better say that I had no idea you were in the building," Scootaloo said as she sat back down.
"Fine," Applebloom and Sweetiebelle said as they stood at the dside of the table. Then loud footsteps could be hear. Scootaloo pulled out her flashlight and aimed it at the hall way. She thought she saw some yellow at the doorway to one of the side rooms. Then she noticed something. The music box had stopped. She flipped over the tablet and pushed her finger on a button. The whole building seemed to fill with the noises of the music box. Then more loud footsteps could be heard and bright white dots could be seen at the very end of the hall. She watched in horror as one set of eyes became many.
Bonus Chapter One: A Lost Soul at Work
It was cold. I could feel myself shivering in the dark. Why did I feel so cold if I was dead? Then I saw a light on the far end of a tunnel. I stood up and walked towards it. Then I felt something grab my legs. I turned my head and looked at the ground. I saw darkness closing around me. I opened my mouth to scream but no sound came out. The darkness crawled up my legs and it felt warm. Even though I was caught in the shadows that were consuming me, I kept fighting. Then it got to my waist and I could hear words. "Join us. We miss you Dashie," the shadows said," we want you to come back to us. Please don't go." I could see faces in the darkness. Sound Board's and Gilda's were the ones I recognized. Their eyes were filled with tears and their mouths were a void. They kept chanting join us as the darkness reached my chest. I started pulling at it but instead it started traveling up my arms. I felt so comfortable now. As if I had just crawled into a bed and covered myself with blankets. Then I remembered the point of me struggling. To become free from this horror that was engulfing me. I started moving, taking painful step after painful step towards the light. "No you can't go Dashie. We need you, and so does it. You are going to be it so that we may call it her and call you it," the shadows said as I could feel them pulling on me. I was almost there, just a few more feet. Then I felt the darkness reach my neck and it started pulling even harder. My jaw was soon consumed as my hand reached out straining against the shadows. Then I saw nothing and I started hearing words. "Welcome home Master Dash," the darkness said as I was greeted with a bright light. I heard children screaming with delight and cheering me on. I had the sudden urge to say four words that sounded so stupid coming from my mouth.
"Hello boys and girls," I said upon instinct. I was alive and that was all that mattered. Because that meant I could find Twilight and kill her. I could get revenge on them all.
It was a dark cold November night. I was admiring my past works and playing with a few of my abilities. I knew that I wasn't who I was anymore. Then I heard screaming and knew that my toys had gotten hold of the night guard. I started towards the parts and service room. It was good to hear screams. I moved down a hall and the screaming stopped. Then from another hallway I saw the most beautiful daughter I could ever have adopted. Scootaloo, all grown up, ran down the hall with a mask on. She was running towards me and I could finally hug her. Instead she stopped and stared at me with anger. I didn't understand so I reached out to touch her to give her some idea it was me. But I knew it wouldn't be possible so I pet her on the mask with the most gentle touch my hand could deliver. Then I knew what I needed to do. I needed to get her out of here. But at the same time i wanted her to stay. I wanted her to join the others so badly. But I knew she couldn't. She had a life to live. So I pointed towards the main party room and said," leave." Then I went towards the parts and service room. There was work that needed to be done. I entered the room and saw the smashed head and then I noticed a missing animatronic. Rarity. Rarity wasn't here and that wasn't good. So I left the room and headed towards where I had sent her. She wasn't in the office but she was nearby. Rarity was finally becoming free from her shackles. I crawled into the vent and found Rarity in the furnace. Her soul screaming in the heat. She looked out at me and her eyes teared up with the tears she couldn't shed.
"Rainbow Dash help me please. We're friends remember," Rarity screamed as she tried to remove herself from the animatronic.
"You're funny Rarity. To bad you're just a piece of junk now," I laughed as I stared at her burning animatronic's body. She was encased in the animatronic through her own heart. Once it became ashes she would be free. So I left her to scream as I went back to my box. It wasn't that bad. Losing one friend isn't that bad. I moved down the vent and back to my little home of horrors that sat in plain sight. Scootaloo was gone now and I felt at piece. Then there came screeches and a loud bang as a wall was smacked against. Then there came muffled yelling and screeching. It suddenly stopped and I opened my box. There was Sweetiebelle and she was covered in wires. She looked exhausted and she looked very angry. Then I saw Scootaloo again and I left my box and moved towards her once more. Once again the urge to keep her with me forever came back. I pet her hair and looked at her. Then I pointed to the exit and said," leave. Now." I moved once again towards the parts and service room only to get knocked back by Applejack as she burst through the door. She threw me to the side as she jumped on a table. I grabbed her by the neck and pulled her down to the ground. Only to be grabbed by the head and thrown against a wall. I became dazed and stared as Applejack started attacking Sweetiebelle. Scootaloo ran into the other room again and came out with the mask on and a sign in her hand. I knew who that sign belongs to. It was Pinkie's. I could hear her crying from where her remains lied. Then I heard a bang and looked back at Applejack. Her whole animatronic's head was missing and it dropped to the floor. She was free. I could see her soul as it freed itself from it's shackles and looked at me.
"Why Rainbow why did ya have ta be a bitch about it," Applejack said as her soul disappeared. Then I saw what had happened to Sweetiebelle. Her whole neck had been crushed by Applejack. I enjoyed it when the living was killed by the dead. There was somethings so fantastic about it. I didn't know why but it just was. Scootaloo then grabbed Applejack's animatronic and dragged it into the back room. I went over and picked up Sweetiebelle's body and took it to the parts and service. A new toy to replace the old one. I dropped Sweetiebelle next to a suit, it was the yellow bear. I went to the kitchen and grabbed a knife from the drawer. Then I returned to the parts and service room and started removing Sweetiebelle's head. As I was cutting the last few muscles I heard the door open behind me. I turned around just as I cut the last muscle to see Scootaloo run out of the room. She still wasn't gone. Why wasn't she away from here. I could feel the urge to add her to my toys so that I could keep her forever. It was stronger than before and I didn't like it. I needed to get her out before it was to late. So I entered the hall and followed her. I stopped her and grabbed her by the hand. Then I felt a yank on my arm as I was forcefully turned around just in time to see a make shift shield smash against my face. It happened repeatedly and I could feel the pain. I started crying but another sound escaped my mouth. Laughter mixed with crying as I dropped to the floor and looked at Scootaloo. "Scootaloo I told you to leave. why didn't you listen to me," I asked.
"I wanted revenge. Revenge on all the animatronics for killing you but you're alive so we can finally--"
"No Scootaloo i'm not alive. I'm more dead than anything," I said as I got on my feet.
"Then how are you here," Scootaloo asked as she hugged me, tears rolled down her cheeks and I just couldn't resist the urge to make her pain all go away. Forever and ever.
"I'm here because i'm stuck and you will be to. We'll be the best of friends forever and ever," I laughed as I gripped Scootaloo's neck. I lifted Scootaloo by the neck and allowed her to dangle for a second.
"Rainbow what are you doing," Scootaloo said as my grip tightened around her neck.
"Making an old friend new," I laughed as I snapped Scootaloo's neck. She fell limp and I took out the knife. I cut her head off and pulled out her heart. It was still beating and that was awesome. I took the head and went to the manager's office. From there I hung it from the ceiling and returned to her body. I took the body to the parts and service room. I opened the door and threw the body inside. "Here you go boys and girls. Fresh off the market," I yelled. Then I returned to my box and crawled inside. I put another drawing on my wall. A drawing of my little Scootaloo. Stuck with me forever and ever. I set the heart next to a book and glasses, stetson hat, a lock of bright pink hair, a cupcake, and a necklace. Sweet memories now lost to the tests of time.
