ne'er–do–wells of the night watch.

Jeremy ran down the hall carrying Mike’s body to the others. All the animatronics deactivated after Jeremy head a yell come from the back room. Pushing to door open with his foot, Jeremy was immediately met with the nasty smell of blood, he could also hear the dripping. Jeremy knew that if the animatronics caught you after dark, they would kill you. But then Jeremy was the only one left…

Walking in room, Jeremy almost dropped Mike at the sight. The walls and floor were coated in blood and in the middle of the room was an animatronic suit he never saw before, sitting a against the wall were Scott and Fritz. But there was no Vincent… Looking around more expecting him to be sitting against the wall he heard Scott cough and turned to him.

“He's in there.” He said, struggling to point at the bloody suit in the middle of the room. Jeremy knew what happened to Vincent. He got stuffed into a suit somehow… peeking into the suit he saw the endoskeleton pressed into Vincent's torso, having a large T cut into his whole body. The legs weren't even visible because of tall the wiring and metal parts inside it. The worst part was his head, the top half was open and looked more like a helmet and the animatronic eyes were now crammed into his skull and the endoskeleton was inside his mouth.

“Oh god…” Jeremy set Mike down and threw up on the ground.

“We need to get him to the hospital…” Scott said and pointed at Mike with the same of stress as before. Every time Scott said something, it shook with pain. He needed to go to the hospital as well.

“Come on guys…” Jeremy said, wiping the vomit from his mouth on his sleeve. “We need to get to a doctor… If they even have those…” Jeremy finished, then hoisted up Mike. Fritz helped Scott up and Scott placed his arm around Fritz neck for support. They slowly made their way across the dining hall, spotting the animatronics idly standing there. They made it to the front counter and could already hear the quiet press outside. They heard the voice of the Princess outside and started to make their ways towards the door.

…..

“I assure you all, they are not here to do anything wrong th-“ she was cut off as the door opened up and a very bruised, beaten and bloody group of guards stumbled out of the pizzeria, leaving the whole press and Princess in shock and horror. Mike drew the most attention what with his whole forehead ripped viciously open and pouring blood.

The group erupted into horror, the guards caught lines of “THEIR CANNIBALS!” And “OH SWEET CELESTIA WE’VE BEEN LIED TO!” The Princess walked off the small podium that was hastily erected to talk to the guards.

“What happened?!” Scott slipped off of Fritz and fell unconscious when he hit the ground. “IT DOESN’T MATTER! GET US TO A FUCKING DOCTOR!” Jeremy yelled, saying the F word for the first time. He needed to.

The press stopped their shouting

The princess was shocked that Jeremy could shock even her. For some as shy as Twilight’s friend Fluttershy, he did have bravery. That was an act that could get any normal pony arrested. But he clearly cared about his friend...

Celestia charged a spell and wrote a note and quickly sent a note to the Canterlot Hospital.

‘Prep emergency care right now.’ Sigh by Celestia at the bottom.

She charged a spell to stasis up their bodies until they were in stable condition. Equestria may be the most advanced place on Equis, but even they couldn't treat a wound like the one Mike had.

Their bodies froze up, they couldn't do anything. They couldn't see, feel or hear. They were completely frozen. It was a spell most doctors knew how to use for extreme medical conditions. Celestia decided now was not the time to think on it, and teleported them to the hospital. The confusion and panic must be surreal.

The Princess quickly watched most of the press disappear, the rest slowly turned to face her.

“Holy Buck.” One of the reporters said.

“Return to your homes.” Celestia said and the press stayed for a few seconds, wanting to get some answers. Eventually they knew it was pointless and turned to leave.

The Princess turned to face the inside of the building and walked in. The inside looked like an old restaurant and could use some cleaning, there was a front desk made out of some hard material.

Walked through the doors leading into the dining hall, her eyes were immediately drawn to the large bipedal almost bunny-like thing in the middle of the room. There was also some sort of bear-like creature near it.

The coppery smell of blood reached her nose quickly, a trail led from a door on the opposite side of the room, to the exit where she was and into a hallway. She walked across the room, her eyes never straying from the creatures in the middle of the room. When she reached the door that read ‘storage’ she almost threw up, the walls and floor of the room were coated in blood. In the middle of the room, lay a corpse of some sort of greenish-yellow coloured monster. It had a smile in on its face and blood poring out of the plentiful holes on is body. I looks like it had been there for ages.  “Mother of me…” She said and backed out of the room quickly. She turned around and was met with a group of guards and her sister. “You needed me?” She asked, startling Celestia.

“No..?” She responded with.

“Really? Then that reporter lied and shall be punished as so…” Luna said, then turned around and started to walk off.

“Actually I need the guards.” Celestia said, and Luna and the guards turned around. “Alright. I'll leave Private Runner with you along with Corporal Slash.” Luna said, then the group turned to leave, but 2 guards stayed behind.

“I need you two to secure the building. Make sure nopony gets inside except for the employees show up.” The guards quickly saluted, and ran off to secure the building.

Celestia had never seen the inside of the building, but she had to feel sorry for the guards who had to walk into this room with all these creepy heads on the walls. She walked over the weird purple bunny imitation, quickly realizing it wasn't alive she sent it to the hospital along wih the bear and a note to take them to the recently teleported-in people.

…..

‘Huh.’ Mike was floating in nothing. Everything around him was black. A small figure started to approach him, the figure was half his size and had white eyes. ‘Well I'm dead.’ Mike thought, and just waited for the creepy ghost child to kill him.

“What are you doing?” The voice sounded familiar to Mike, but he couldn't put his finger on it.

“Who are you..?” He asked, calming down a bit.

“My names Eli!” She shouted out in almost pride.

“Ow.” Mike grunted out while covering his ears.

“You know me right?” Eli said, stepping closer to Mike.

“Look… Kid… I don’t know who you are or why your inside my mind. Or maybe I'm just crazy.” Mike said, a stuck his hands in his pockets.

“Oh… Well I'm technically the reason your alive right now.” Eli said while smiling as nice as a ghost child can.

“Aaaaand… Why is this?” Mike asked.

“When you were a young kid, you got really hurt right?” Mike was confused. He got scrapes and bruises as a kid, everyone did. But Mike never recalled getting ‘really hurt’ when he was a kid. So Mike made an appropriate response.

“Uh…”

“You don’t remember? Well… It happened again. Recently. By the way, those ponies are super cute.” Eli said, going from sad to happy.

“Ok...?”

“Anyways. You seem to be ok if your here… So I guess I'll wake you up then.” Eli closed her eyes and vanished.

“Bye?” Mike woke up in a hospital bed, the bland green and white look of the hospital giving a real sense of hatred for the pony things.

In a bed to his left was Scott, with a stab wound in his back. To his right was Fritz. Fritz had no visible damage to him though.

In the bed next to Scott's was the old Bonnie from Fredbear’s and seemed to be soaked in blood. The suit was surrounded in doctors and Mike immediately assumed the worst. Jeremy was nowhere in sight.

“No…” Mike whispered.

Jeremy grabbed a chocolate chip granola bar from the cafeteria.

“No he cant be dead…”

Jeremy started walking up the stairs of the hospital.

“No..!”

Jeremy opened the door and Mike looked at him.

“Knew it.”

Jeremy took a sip of co-co.

“Hey Mike. Glad to see your ok.” Jeremy said, walking over to Mike.

“What happened over there?” Mike asked nodding his head towards the blood animatronic.

Scott turned to Mike. Seemed he woke up.

“That's Vincent…” Scott said as a doctor put gauze around his shoulder.

“He's dead?” Mike asked.

“Yeah… And for good reason.” Scott climbed out of his bed, a grim tone in his voice. He sounded like an old man with a vengeance. Fritz climbed out of his bed and they all went over to Mike.

“… What happened to me?” He asked. Last thing he remembered was seeing Foxy and then everything was dark.

“You don’t remember?” Jeremy asked sadly.

Scott whispered in Jeremy's ear before Mike could reply.

“Maybe its best if he didn't know…”

Jeremy nodded solemnly.

Scott called a doctor over and asked if they could take Mike out of his bed and leave.

“Oh… Ok. He seems alright.” The doctor sounded quiet, but was extremely proud of her medical prowess considering she could repair a torn in half alien brain.

The guards helped Mike out of bed and they left the hospital. As they were leaving Mike finally made one.

“Nice medical work in the HORSEpital.”

“Goddamn it Mike.”
