A Nightmarish Revivalby TheImperialBronyChaptersWaking up....Getting rebuilt...Discovery....In tears....Old friends... Waking up....At long last I have made it to the pony world. You may know me, I am called Nightmare. I terrorize the minds of the weak and pathetic. But now that I am in the actual world, I can do more than ever before! I had watched at the back of Fredbear's mind when he first arrived with that foolish soul inside him. I know everything that Fredbear has known, and more. When I made it to the pony world, I became one of them, not sure why, but I did. Well, more like a animatronic Nightmare pony to be exact. I had arrived in the forest known as the, Everfree, a forest of mystery and fear to the ponies. Funny, I AM FEAR, really. What I looked like was a pony female with a deep grey coat, that was ruined in a nightmarish way, blood red and nightmare black hair, my eyes were a flesh pink. I found it funny that my new form fit me perfectly. My jaw was split much like my original, with sharp teeth and all. For the first time, it actually looked weird and nice at the same time. Upon arriving, and becoming used to my new form, I was quite far from a road. It was the deepest of night when I started walking toward a randomly chosen direction. To tell the truth, I am not sorry that I abandoned Fredbear. He had outlived his uses.... even though he was my brother.... I believe I walked for an hour before coming across a ruined castle with a large canyon splitting it from the rest of the Everfree. I saw a rope-bridge that leads to the other side where the castle lies. I made my way to it, all the while observing the castle ruins. Upon heading up the steps and entering the castle had I got a true look at the insides. My new hooves sounded through the ruins as I moved through it. Must have been a massive battle to leave it like this. I moved farther into the ruins and found what I think is a pedestal that had once had some significance in a past age. I stop. I could feel a force or something around me, not sure what it is. It doesn't hurt or anything, its just somewhat annoying. I shake my head to try and kick it out of my head and move onward. Moving more in, I found two thrones with tattered banners hanging over them. One banner had the moon and the night as the other the sun and the day. I looked back to the moon banner. I knew who owned it..... Luna. I hate Luna. She ruined everything! The plan and all.....now I got to start over.....Hey that gives me an idea, maybe I can make more nightmares.... I am basically a god so I could try. I turn away from the throne and at the open space. Concentrating my mind to creating a new form of nightmare, or nightmares if it goes right. I took around probably 5 minutes at least before I could feel the power flowing through my withered body and to my hooves. I raise one hoof forward, I let all the power flow out and gather around a new form I ordered it to do. I could see the outline of what it was, it was what the ponies called a, filly. A female child. Ironic that I am making this due to what I do. By now the colors started to show, a grey coat, though lighter than mine, with a red and blue mane and tail color. The jaw was similar to mine but smaller. I had the souls of the others but not Fredbear sadly, he has his own being of control unlike the others and me. I put Foxy's soul within the new animatronic I had made. It took time till the body was fully finished, once that was done, the body had to lay limp till Foxy's soul had full control over it. It was a process that took around 2 hours. I sat down, exhausted from the act of creating it, never had it been easy to do this. I looked back up at the limp filly animatronic laying on the ground, I will have to create more of them. I sighed at having to need to do that, but, its necessary. I broke my gaze from it and to the nearby corridors that littered the ruins. I stood back onto my hooves and made my way to the nearest one. I peered down it into the darkness. I turned on my eye's light that lit up the hallway with red light, showing armor stands that were covered with dust from standing there doing nothing for years. I scanned the hall with curiosity, I was rarely curious but this counts.....don't tell anyone. I found more doorways breaking off into more of the ruins. It looked smaller on the outside than the inside. Wonder how they did this....I kept going down the main hall till I came to a 'T' section. I stopped and looked down them both before turning back around and heading back, I can explore another day. When I came back to the main room, "Foxy" was still limp on the ground. I headed to the hall right across from the one I came from. I walked a good while till it broke out into a massive library, full of dusty tomes. I washed the place in my eye light as I looked at the books. I examined the shelves of old for a book to read on, to pass the time of course. What? I read. Got a problem with that?! Anyway, I found one on the magics of unicorns. I chose it because maybe I could learn to use the spells even though my body is a pegasus and I'm metal. I grab a few others to bring back with me to read once I had finished the ones before. I returned to the main room and Foxy was still limp as a dead child.....Yea, don't ask. I lit a candle to better see the words, my eye light kinda makes it hard to see. I noticed that my wings were bladed like my hands I had in my other form. I watched them move and flexed them with interest. Nice thing to change my hands to. I returned to my book and opened the first page to the first chapter and began reading. Mid-chapter I heard a noise, the sound of metal on bricks. I looked up to see Foxy getting up from were he lay and standing weakly. I put the book down beside me and move toward him. His eyes were still closed and he was breathing deeply. When I got a few inches from him he finally opened his eyes and the voice of a child animatronic came out.... "I have returned." Author's Note Not sure if I should keep going.... Getting rebuilt...I looked at Foxy as he stood unsteady on his new legs. "Welcome back Foxy." I say to him. Foxy looks up and turns his head to see me. "Hi Nightmare." He flinches. "What is wrong with my voice?" he asks. I chuckle. "Well you have a new body if you can't tell, and your body is a filly. A Nightmare Filly to be exact." I reply with a possibly a shit-eating grin. "Why the hell am I a filly? Why am I not my own body? I like my own body." his voice raising till the last statement. He looks me over for a second and raises a brow. "And why are you not in your own body?" "Well....I don't know." Deploy the shit-eating grin once again. He grunts and stares at me, crafting a question in his mind. "What are you trying to do right now?" he asks. "I am deploying my Grand shit-eating grin." I say holding a hoof to my chest and smiling. "Woo....so Grand" he says with a sarcastic tone, earning a frown from me. "As for your new body, it is easy to start small and the filly is fast, perfect for a fox." answering one of the questions from earlier. He sets himself down on his rear like me. He brings up one of his torn hooves and started to inspect it. "So you say the smaller faster?" I nod. "Well foxes are small so, I guess I could try to work with this." he says as he turns his hoof to better look at it. He puts it down after he was done and looked back at me. "But if I want to be bigger, grant it will ya?" I nod agreement. Looking satisfied, Foxy made an attempt to stand again, and did it with wobbly legs. I was sitting across from him and watching him get used to his new body. It was humorous to watch him do things he had to learn again. Though, not when I had to. As he worked around in his new body, I returned to my reading. I saw above my book Foxy taking notice of me reading. "You...read?" he puts on a face. "Yea, I had to pass the time somehow. Plus, this book is pretty good." I reply looking up at him. He slaps himself with a hoof an the face, due to the lost of balance, he fell forward with a thud. I can tell you this....he was not happy. Especially when I started laughing my ass off at him. I heard him mumbling about 'Writer's jokes' or something. This caught my attention. "Foxy, did you do what I think you did?" I raise a accusing brow at him. He looks about before answering. "Uh....No?" he shrugs uncertainly. I pick up my book and head over to where he was. I was a good few inches taller than him. I took the book and whacked him on the head all the while saying.... "No Foxy! Bad. No breaking the 4th Wall!" I didn't hit him hard, don't want to hurt his new body. All the while he was trying to cover himself from my blows with his hooves and saying sorry over and over again. After that little fiasco, I taught Foxy some new things about the new bodies we have now. He managed to get used to walking around too. When we finished, I went back to reading as he went exploring near me. He came back to me few minutes later. "So...you going to bring the rest back too?" he asks fiddling with his hooves. He has been acting a bit more childish due to his new form. I put a hoof to my bottom jaw in thought. "Well, maybe not all of them I may bring Freddy back, or Chica. Bonnie is good too." Foxy looks at me, probably studying me again. "What do you think?" I ask him. "I'd say....hmm...I really don't know." "Well, we might as well look around here as we think about who to choose. I can only choose one." I say getting up from where I sat on the ground. He watches me get up. "Do you feel that in the air?" he asks. I look over surprised. "You feel it too? I don't know what it is, but its everywhere." I headed to a hallway I have not gone down before with Foxy following next to me. "Should we try and find out?" he turned on his eye light, a light red-yellow glow. "Hmm....maybe. We could once we have decided who is going to be with us." Foxy nods understanding and keeps going with me down the hall. It had statues of ponies in many poses. I could feel and increase in the strength of the pressure around me. Foxy could feel it too, I could tell how he was looking about. We found a hallway leading downward. We looked at each other before nodding and heading down it. The pressure increased greatly the more we went down. It was a pretty long staircase, perhaps leading down to the canyon I saw coming in here. "We seem to be finding the source already." Foxy comments. "Aye, lets find out whats causing this annoying pressure around us." I saw a light at the bottom of the stairs, I took note of it and passed it on to Foxy, who nodded. The more we went down, the more the walls turned from bricks to stone. Burned out torches scattered along the walls. When we reached the bottom, the pressure had reached a massive level around us, not enough to hurt us but to make us feel unsafe. What we found left our mouths hanging wide. Author's Note Do vote on who will be the companion joining them in future chapters!! P.S no Halloween animatronics. Sorry. Discovery...."That is one big tree...." The said tree was massive, made of crystal. There was five gems on each of the biggest branches and a purple star in the middle of the tree. We were so small compared to it. I looked to where the tree roots entered the ground and saw an open plant. I started moving forward but stopped short. It was the same feeling I felt when Fredbear was at the castle steps, but stronger. Foxy saw me moving and started to follow in turn. He was about to pass me, when I put a hoof out to stop him. He looks up at me tilting his head in confusion. I look down at him. "Don't go close, I know what will happen, but worse...." I warn. Foxy makes a short nod in understanding and looks back to the tree glowing brightly. "So what now?" he asks without looking at me. "We can't do anything to it as you say." "For once, I don't know." I reply. I see him furrow his brow. "Well, if we can't do anything we might as well leave it alone, right?" I grunt at him. He turns his head at me in confusion. "Is that a yes or no?" he asks. "A no." "Ok....." He looks back to the tree. He turns around and makes his way back to the stairs after observing the tree for a few more minutes. I see him do so and move to follow, but not without giving the tree one last look. We will meet again I bet.... We returned to the main hall, with the books from before gone. I stood confused. Why were they gone? I look to Foxy who shrugs at me before walking away to another room. I watched him leave before moving to follow. "Ugh...come on Twi. We have been here so many times I lost count the second time." I halt in my tracks and listened in to the voice of a child. Perfect way to bring back our fear storage. We thrive on fer to make us stronger. Almost like food. Foxy was long gone, I let him be and moved toward where I heard the voice. I reached the doorway to the library when I heard another voice. "But Spike, we should not leave a whole library out to rot. So grab as many as we can so we can go. Just like last time." I heard a small groan from the so called 'Spike'. I peered inside, careful to not make any noise. I spot the two intruders. A purple pony with wings and a horn by the bookshelves, pulling them off and setting them aside. I moved my head more to see the child, a dragon. I look up to see the glass roof, the full moon shining through, lighting up the library, I moved quickly and silently as they moved farther into the room. Moving my creaking gears in my torn hooves, I snuck up slowly on the dragon, it and the pony was unaware of my presence. I hit a book on the floor creating a solid thump that echoed through the ruins. I let lose a few curses quietly and looked down at the dang thing. I noticed that the sound of them walked had stopped. I could feel their gaze on me and hear them shaking in fear. Don't ask how I could hear that, I bet it was because of how quiet it got. I had unfurled my wings and hanged them limp by my sides, like I was shut down or something, I made my head look the same. "Um..." that was the pony I think. "Hello?" "Twilight....what is that thing?" I heard the other voice. "Its a...uh....I believe its a pony...It sure looks like one. Somewhat...." I sensed Twilight move closer to me. "E-excuse me ma'm?" My eyes were open as she leaned down to look at my face. She gasped and scrambled away in fear as I looked at her when she looked at me and noticing my teeth. I shut my eyes and 'Activated' by raising my head facing them. I heard a thump once I did that. My wings came up as well, extended behind my back, the sharp tips gleaming in the moonlight. I opened my eyes finally, seeing a face-planted Spike, and a shocked Twilight, fear flowing like a flood from her. I inhaled deeply, emitting a crackling sound as I took in the fear, my jaw opening wide. I closed my eyes briefly and when I opened them again the pony was gone along with the dragon. Looking toward a doorway I saw a dust cloud. I rolled my eyes and moved to catch up with her. Dang they move fast. I teleported to in front of her with outstretched forelegs and wings. She shrieked in surprise and turned around back to the library. I moved casually behind her. One: I could just teleport to her with no struggle. And two: That shriek she made probably was heard by Foxy. His hearing is extremely sharp. No clue why it is. I arrived back in the library to find I was correct about one thing- Foxy has spectacular hearing. Foxy had both of them trapped, Spike was awake again and was clinging onto Twilight's hoof and watching Foxy with wide eyes. Twilight on the other hand, was in a fight-or-flight stance. I made my way over to Foxy's side, I bump Foxy lightly, he was still watching them. "So who's your new friends?" I saw Twilight waver and stare shocked and possibly disgusted at me. I turned to look at her in false offence. "Why you no like my voice? I think its perfect." I moved forward to her lifting a wing to brush against her cheek, she flinched away from it and stared straight into my eyes. I stared back unfazed. I brush the wing-claw back on her cheek, this time she just watched it along with Spike in fear. I come in closer to her ear to whisper into it. "Thank you for the free fear. We really needed it." I smirk at her expression of shock and moved away. I looked at the dragon under her. I won't lie, he was literally scared shit-less. I nearly burst out laughing at it. "W-who are you?" Twilight asked me. I chuckle. "I am called, Nightmare."I move back next to Foxy. I wave a wing-claw to him. "And this is Foxy." I saw her eyes go wide and her pupils shrink to pinpricks as the realization struck her. She backed away with Spike in tow. "W-wait are you who I think you are?" she asked. "That I am." Foxy and I followed her into the corner. She was now visibly shaking with fear. I started raising my wings to grab her, (forgot to mention this but my wings are much larger than the normal pony wings) her horn started to glow and she held Spike more closer to her. I chuckled at their acts. "What you going to do little one? Cry to the princesses?" She gasped and her horn glowed even brighter, so much that I was starting to get blinded. "What are doing?" I asked getting very close to reaching her. "Stop! Foxy, get over ere!" I heard him comply and grunt as he too was blinded. I managed to reach her and swing my wing downward, hoping to deliver a blow- When they vanished. The light was gone so we could see that they were not here. I was enraged and so was Foxy. I swung my wings across the tables in the library, knocking off and damaging whatever was on them. All the while yelling and roaring in anger. Foxy just stood, watching me release my feelings. How I could tell, was I saw him there watching me as I smashed a table in half. I was tired when I finished. Foxy came over and put a hoof on my side. "We'll get one of them someday, not today I guess." I looked down at his split jaw of a filly and into his eyes, he was smaller than me by quite a bit. I nod understanding and looked back down at the ground. Then, I heard a sound of dripping. I brought my wing-claws up to examine them, to find the one that I swung at her had delivered a blow and was now dripping blood. I smiled as I showed it to Foxy who smiled in turn. "Got her." Author's Note Sorry about not posting in FOREVER. I wanted to work on it but for some reason my brain said otherwise. Anyway here's the next chapter. P.S Voting still going, no Halloween animatronics. In tears....Third person. Twilight arrived inside of the castle screaming in pain. Spike was wide eyed and ran off to find the rest of the Mane six, more or less in fear. Twilight fell over with a cry as the stump of her right foreleg stained the crystal floor. She had raised it defend herself when Nightmare swung at her, the wing-claws cut right through the flesh and bone. Breathing heavily, she looked over to the stump of her foreleg, before her vision started to fall. Her head lands back on the ground with a thump. Thoughts went zooming through her head as her vision fell even farther into darkness; "Will I make it? Will I live? Will I be crippled for the rest of my life, and lose my friends? Or worse?" She faintly heard a door open and turned her eyes to see her friends rushing to her side, along with Spike. Her vision was almost gone... She could feel Fluttershy lifting her head and talking to her, trying to keep her awake. Panic rose on her face as Twilight started to close her eyes. Fluttershy was practically screaming for Twilight to stay awake. But to no avail, Twilight went out like a flame. Fluttershy burst into tears. Rarity did so in turn, Pinkies mane deflated well before Twilight blanked out, and was in tears. Rainbow was doing her best to not cry but could not hold back at the 10th second, and fell to the ground crying over Twilight, with her blood below her on the floor, coating her cyan blue fur. AJ held her hat down and silently cried. Fluttershy perked up at the faint sound of labored breathing. She looked at Twilight and saw her sides move up and down slowly. Her eyes widen and she lightly shoves Rainbow to get her attention. Rainbow looks at her with tears still falling down her face. "She's still alive!" she hollers. Rainbow blinked in confusion and looked at Twilight. Her eyes slowly widened as she saw her breathing shallow breaths. With a gasp of realization, she started to lift Twilight from where she lay. The others heard Fluttershy's outburst and joined in on helping with Rainbow. Aj lifted her onto her back with help from Rarity with her magic, Pinkie held Twilight's hoof stump close to slow the blood loss. Rainbow and Fluttershy kept above to make sure she does not fall off AJ's back. Rainbow opened the doors exiting the castle and helped them down the steps. There were no ponies out that night, it would have been a quiet night if nothing had ever happened. Twilight's POV I woke to the sound of steady beeping. I groaned softly as the light hit my eyes, leaving them unfocused. I could feel a weight on my side and looked over to see Rainbow sleeping there. Turning away from her, I looked at the rest of the room. I was in the Ponyville hospital, and that steady beeping was the heart monitor hooked up to me, as well as a blood bag leading into me. In the corner was the rest of my friends, soundly asleep. A closer look at them all showed that their eyes were red and swollen, like they had been crying. Why? I move around lightly and froze as I felt something missing. Moving around some more, I felt the disturbance was on my right hoof, slowly and tenderly, so not to mess with the medical equipment, I raise it to my view. My eyes widen as I saw it. It was only a stump with bandages wrapped around the tip. I raised my left hoof to compare. The right one was gone completely to the knee. I heard hoofsteps outside the door and laid my head back down facing it. The opened to show a unicorn Nurse. Her eyes widen once she saw me in glee. She rushed to my side, mindful of the sleeping ponies on the floor. "Princess! You're awake!" she exclaimed. I just simply nodded. "How do you feel?" she asked pulling out a clipboard with a pen in her magic. I opened my mouth to speak when I heard a commotion outside the open door. The nurse turned to hear as well. "I demand to see her! I am the princess of the night! I demand you let me pass!" I smirked at who it was when she entered the doorway. "Twilight!" Luna exclaimed as she rushed inside. The Nurse quickly moved out of the way to allow the moon princess by. Rainbow was started awake, with a yelp, by Luna's shout and fell onto the floor, bumping her head on the ground right in front of Luna. Luna side stepped Rainbow and arrived at my side. Worry filled her eyes. "Twilight, I came as soon as I could once I heard about what happened to you. Celestia couldn't make it so I came instead." I smiled once she finished. "Thank you Luna for coming so soon." I looked down at Rainbow, who was rubbing her head. The rest of them had awoken due to all the commotion that transpired here. "Thank you all for getting me here safely, I knew I could still count on you all." Rarity spoke up first. "Why would we not help you? You were clearly in pain and was in need of hospital care. All of use helped carry you here." The others nod agreement. "And you gave us quite a scare when we thought you weren't going to wake up That brings out a smile on my face. Luna speaks up. "What happened?" she asked. I frowned at the memory. My friends moved closer, eager to hear what happen, I can't fault them for being curious. I told them of my journey in the Everfree and the castle. I was hesitant at first but once I started going I was able to fully tell them what happen. They would gasp at certain parts of when I was in the castle when the thing chased me. Luna would look like she was thinking deeply when I described what it looked like. When I reached the part when it and the other one had us cornered, they were pretty scared. I finished the tale with arriving in the castle and passing out from the pain and blood loss. They all moved forward and, very gently, hugged me in a group, which I returned the hugs in turn. Luna stood out watching the hugging with a thoughtful look. The nurse was long gone, she left shortly after everypony woke up, shutting the door in kind. My friends moved away with sad smiles and Luna came forth with a small grin. She looked to the door and then at the floor, clearly thinking more before looking at me again. "I must return to Canterlot, sorry my time with you was short." she said before turning to leave. Confused I moved to stop her, when she stopped, like sensing my question. "I am going to meet someone who should know what this beast is who attacked you." she said quietly before leaving us confused slightly. Author's Note Sorry about slow updating. Trying my best. P.S B-day this month!!! Old friends... Old friends... Luna's POV I rushed down the steps of the lower dungeons of Canterlot, where we keep our most dangerous in other than Tartarus. I had four of my guards flanking me from behind as I made my way down. A few minutes later, I arrived at the cell I was aimed for. I gave the order to open the spell sealed door along with the locks on it to let me in. The door swung open as I walk inside with my guards. "Hello Equine." I looked at the hanging figure on the wall. It was a golden bear-like creature with massive claws and teeth, teeth so big it splits it jaw at such a unusual angle that every time I see it, I shudder. The bear was covered is holes and was showing metal under it. At the middle of its belly, had a row of teeth jutting outward. Its voice was a deep distorted one, making even me feel chill up my spine "Fredbear...." I returned in greeting. It was our usual greeting, say a few words (or insults in his case) and end chat with me leaving and locking the door for the next time. "I take this is our annual chat?" he asked showing no emotion. I shake my head. "I'm afraid not, something has shown up that I think you know. And I need your help." I inform him. He scoffs. "You? Needing me to help you? How can I even help you, look at what you are doing to me. You killed me in the dream realm. Discovered I was still alive and made it to the real world again and had me hunted down. You captured me and left me hanging here alone, with you coming to mock me as I hang, unable to do anything thanks to these spells and chains." He shakes his arm, rattling the chains to empathize his point. He looks back at me. "I ask again. Why. Should. I. Help. You?" I remained stoic through his whole reply before answering. "Because, somepony has arrived and hurt a princess and hero of Equestria, putting her into the hospital. She barely survived the encounter." He rolls his blood red eyes at me. "And this concerns me how?" he asks breaking eye contact at the finishing word. "The creature she described sounded very similar to you, only in pony form." I reply. He looked up at me in curiosity and raised a brow. "What did this...'creature' look like?" he asks. "It was a deep gray with black and red hair, and had glowing red eyes much like yours, as well as the teeth and split jaw." I explain. I hear a small sharp gasp and wide eyes from Fredbear. "Nightmare..." My ear flicks at the incredibly soft voice he produced. "Can you say that again?" I ask tilting my head at him. "Its Nightmare.....My traitor brother." he repeats. I remember what happened in the dream realm. The Nightmare, as Fredbear calls it, vanishing from behind him as he fought me, and remembered how he gave up shortly once that happened. I shake my head clear of the memories and focused on Fredbear hanging there, looking down at the floor. I sigh softly. "I need your help to take him down." I finally ask him, catching his attention once again. He looked to be thinking deeply, for he looked back down at the floor, moving his jaw idly. After a few more minutes, he finally looked back up at me, the answer clear in his face. "I will help you.....Luna." The guards were clearly nervous with Fredbear walking next to me, free from his chains but not completely of the spells on him, he was somewhat joyed at being able to walk again. He got upset at the fact that not all the restrictions will be removed from him. He just shrugged and walked on out once I stepped out with the guards. I could tell the guards were eyeing him as we walk back up the stairs to the surface. I would too if I was them walking with a higher power. We arrived to the top of the stairs to meet the blinding light. I heard soft grunts as the guards shielded their eyes. Fredbear and I just stood there basking in its glory, Fredbear more so. Fredbear looked more peaceful in the light, despite his form. "You are to go to the town of Ponyville and find the element bearers and explain to them that you are going to help them." I informed him while looking at him. He turned his head and looked down a me. "Won't the population be terrified of me, as much as I love seeing that, I would think you have a plan so I don't get attention drawn to me." "That's why I plan to turn you into a pony." He did a double-take at that and stared at me in disbelief. "What?! You can make me a weak pony like yourself?" He went silent shortly after that outburst. "I....I guess if it will help me get to my brother then I'll do it. But....I want to be able to turn into my true for at will, for obvious reasons." He finished. I nodded. "You will be given that ability." I closed my eyes to search for the spell, for it has been too long since I cast this. I opened them again and saw him standing there with crossed arms. "This may hurt or feel uncomfortable for a bit, so try to endure it as the spell is cast." He nods curtly. "Alright...." I feel my horn light up with the spell. "Hold still." He goes ridged as the spell takes effect on him. A light shines over his form as he started to take the shape of a pony stallion. The sound of bones cracking sounds through the air as the guards winced at the unpleasant sound. The spell ended with him on the ground. I observed him as he laid there. He had a deep blue coat with green and black hair. His mark a cog wheel with a deep red dot in the middle. Fredbear, shakily stood up on his legs to his full height in one go, which impressed me, but what shocked me is what came next as bat wings came out of his back with a small sound and his eyes snapping open showing me his silted Bat-pony eyes. His eyes were cyan blue with small specks of red and black at the edges. "Fredbear? Are you alright?" I asked taking some steps forward. He looked at me before raising a hoof to his face and observing it. "I'm not Fredbear in this form...." He puts his hoof down and looks at me square in the eyes. "It's Eventide." I blink in surprise at the name, it is fitting. For it is another meaning for night, though not very commonly said from what I've heard. Also I was surprised at the fact that he chose a name so fast. He was overlooking the rest of his form, he took a big interest at the bat wings. I chuckled softly at him, covering my mouth with a hoof. I can't help but think that he is pretty handsome.... He looked up at me at the sound of my muffled laugh with a cocked brow. "So....where do I go to get to Ponyville? That is if you are done finding my form amusing." He blinks in slight shock, before long, a small smile appeared on his face. "And...attractive." My eyes go wide and I felt my face heating up. Behind me, the guards were chuckling softly to themselves. I groaned in annoyance. Snapping around to face the guards, they silenced immediately under my gaze and stood at attention. I smiled lightly before turning back to Eventide, who was now inspecting his batwings with great interest. I cough to get his attention. "I will teleport you to Ponyville, so you don't have to take the train." He nods understanding. "Alright, Princess. Do it." I nod before beginning to cast the spell on him. I saw him shiver as the spell took effect and a split second later, he was gone in a flash of light. Foxy's POV I was watching Nightmare as he prepared to create Chica. He said he was going to make her in a bigger body than what I got, that of which I'm still upset about. Crossing my fore-hooves, careful not to fall forward, I watched in small interest as a cloud of dust started forming in front of Nightmare's extended hoof. Soon, the dust started to take a form. The form of a full grown pony stallion, with pitch black fur and black and dark blue hair. Nightmare made a face as he focused even more, causing the dust form to have a split jaw and empty eyes like us. Finally, the dark pony dropped to the stone ground with a thud and the sound of a sigh from Nightmare as Chica was finished. I stared at the new body of Chica in study before looking back at Nightmare, "So...when will she wake up?" I was still not used to my new voice. Nightmare looked up at me, for he had his head down in exhaustion, before looking briefly at Chica then at me, "I'd say, a few hours. She'll be a bit surprised at her new form," He paused to close his jaw to form a crude smile, "Maybe even mad." I let loose a small chuckle and shook my head, "Yea, probably." I looked up to him suddenly serious, "But, remember that you promised that whenever I want to be my natural form, you will grant it." Nightmare moved in realization at something. "You are fully able to change to your natural form this whole time. I just discovered that we could do that," He informed me. To further prove his point, his form started to change. His body took on a more bulky form and the colors he had turned pure black, plus his body got much more larger. I had to place my fore-hooves behind me and lean back to peer up at his true size. His transformation finished, he looked down at my quite small form with a smile. A low rumbling sound emitted from him, which I then shortly found out that was a chuckle, "You are so small, I could crush half your body under my foot," He pointed out. I recoiled slightly at that statement, earning another rumbling chuckle from the giant. I closed my eyes as I attempted to turn into my true form like Nightmare did. In my mind I saw a glowing orb, it was colored rust brown. I attempted to touch it with my mind. When I did, what I got was a warm feeling flowing through my body as the transformation did its work. Shortly after, I rose to my new height, careful to not bump him with my nose, coming to only to Nightmare's lower jaw. I was still quite short and had to look up to look into his eyes. Nightmare chuckled again when I looked up at him. "You are still short. Makes me wonder who thought of the heights for us," he said amused. I rolled my eyes in annoyance at him before walking past him to explore a bit more. As I moved away, I walked past Chica, who was so short compared to me. Now I know how Nightmare felt looking at me. I chuckled lightly as I thought about that and walking away into a random corridor. Author's Note Sorry guys....I'm kinda losing the fight to keep writing. Sorry its been so long since I updated this story....I may just cancel it. Sorry for any disappointment made.
Waking up....At long last I have made it to the pony world. You may know me, I am called Nightmare. I terrorize the minds of the weak and pathetic. But now that I am in the actual world, I can do more than ever before! I had watched at the back of Fredbear's mind when he first arrived with that foolish soul inside him. I know everything that Fredbear has known, and more. When I made it to the pony world, I became one of them, not sure why, but I did. Well, more like a animatronic Nightmare pony to be exact. I had arrived in the forest known as the, Everfree, a forest of mystery and fear to the ponies. Funny, I AM FEAR, really. What I looked like was a pony female with a deep grey coat, that was ruined in a nightmarish way, blood red and nightmare black hair, my eyes were a flesh pink. I found it funny that my new form fit me perfectly. My jaw was split much like my original, with sharp teeth and all. For the first time, it actually looked weird and nice at the same time. Upon arriving, and becoming used to my new form, I was quite far from a road. It was the deepest of night when I started walking toward a randomly chosen direction. To tell the truth, I am not sorry that I abandoned Fredbear. He had outlived his uses.... even though he was my brother.... I believe I walked for an hour before coming across a ruined castle with a large canyon splitting it from the rest of the Everfree. I saw a rope-bridge that leads to the other side where the castle lies. I made my way to it, all the while observing the castle ruins. Upon heading up the steps and entering the castle had I got a true look at the insides. My new hooves sounded through the ruins as I moved through it. Must have been a massive battle to leave it like this. I moved farther into the ruins and found what I think is a pedestal that had once had some significance in a past age. I stop. I could feel a force or something around me, not sure what it is. It doesn't hurt or anything, its just somewhat annoying. I shake my head to try and kick it out of my head and move onward. Moving more in, I found two thrones with tattered banners hanging over them. One banner had the moon and the night as the other the sun and the day. I looked back to the moon banner. I knew who owned it..... Luna. I hate Luna. She ruined everything! The plan and all.....now I got to start over.....Hey that gives me an idea, maybe I can make more nightmares.... I am basically a god so I could try. I turn away from the throne and at the open space. Concentrating my mind to creating a new form of nightmare, or nightmares if it goes right. I took around probably 5 minutes at least before I could feel the power flowing through my withered body and to my hooves. I raise one hoof forward, I let all the power flow out and gather around a new form I ordered it to do. I could see the outline of what it was, it was what the ponies called a, filly. A female child. Ironic that I am making this due to what I do. By now the colors started to show, a grey coat, though lighter than mine, with a red and blue mane and tail color. The jaw was similar to mine but smaller. I had the souls of the others but not Fredbear sadly, he has his own being of control unlike the others and me. I put Foxy's soul within the new animatronic I had made. It took time till the body was fully finished, once that was done, the body had to lay limp till Foxy's soul had full control over it. It was a process that took around 2 hours. I sat down, exhausted from the act of creating it, never had it been easy to do this. I looked back up at the limp filly animatronic laying on the ground, I will have to create more of them. I sighed at having to need to do that, but, its necessary. I broke my gaze from it and to the nearby corridors that littered the ruins. I stood back onto my hooves and made my way to the nearest one. I peered down it into the darkness. I turned on my eye's light that lit up the hallway with red light, showing armor stands that were covered with dust from standing there doing nothing for years. I scanned the hall with curiosity, I was rarely curious but this counts.....don't tell anyone. I found more doorways breaking off into more of the ruins. It looked smaller on the outside than the inside. Wonder how they did this....I kept going down the main hall till I came to a 'T' section. I stopped and looked down them both before turning back around and heading back, I can explore another day. When I came back to the main room, "Foxy" was still limp on the ground. I headed to the hall right across from the one I came from. I walked a good while till it broke out into a massive library, full of dusty tomes. I washed the place in my eye light as I looked at the books. I examined the shelves of old for a book to read on, to pass the time of course. What? I read. Got a problem with that?! Anyway, I found one on the magics of unicorns. I chose it because maybe I could learn to use the spells even though my body is a pegasus and I'm metal. I grab a few others to bring back with me to read once I had finished the ones before. I returned to the main room and Foxy was still limp as a dead child.....Yea, don't ask. I lit a candle to better see the words, my eye light kinda makes it hard to see. I noticed that my wings were bladed like my hands I had in my other form. I watched them move and flexed them with interest. Nice thing to change my hands to. I returned to my book and opened the first page to the first chapter and began reading. Mid-chapter I heard a noise, the sound of metal on bricks. I looked up to see Foxy getting up from were he lay and standing weakly. I put the book down beside me and move toward him. His eyes were still closed and he was breathing deeply. When I got a few inches from him he finally opened his eyes and the voice of a child animatronic came out.... "I have returned." Author's Note Not sure if I should keep going....
Getting rebuilt...I looked at Foxy as he stood unsteady on his new legs. "Welcome back Foxy." I say to him. Foxy looks up and turns his head to see me. "Hi Nightmare." He flinches. "What is wrong with my voice?" he asks. I chuckle. "Well you have a new body if you can't tell, and your body is a filly. A Nightmare Filly to be exact." I reply with a possibly a shit-eating grin. "Why the hell am I a filly? Why am I not my own body? I like my own body." his voice raising till the last statement. He looks me over for a second and raises a brow. "And why are you not in your own body?" "Well....I don't know." Deploy the shit-eating grin once again. He grunts and stares at me, crafting a question in his mind. "What are you trying to do right now?" he asks. "I am deploying my Grand shit-eating grin." I say holding a hoof to my chest and smiling. "Woo....so Grand" he says with a sarcastic tone, earning a frown from me. "As for your new body, it is easy to start small and the filly is fast, perfect for a fox." answering one of the questions from earlier. He sets himself down on his rear like me. He brings up one of his torn hooves and started to inspect it. "So you say the smaller faster?" I nod. "Well foxes are small so, I guess I could try to work with this." he says as he turns his hoof to better look at it. He puts it down after he was done and looked back at me. "But if I want to be bigger, grant it will ya?" I nod agreement. Looking satisfied, Foxy made an attempt to stand again, and did it with wobbly legs. I was sitting across from him and watching him get used to his new body. It was humorous to watch him do things he had to learn again. Though, not when I had to. As he worked around in his new body, I returned to my reading. I saw above my book Foxy taking notice of me reading. "You...read?" he puts on a face. "Yea, I had to pass the time somehow. Plus, this book is pretty good." I reply looking up at him. He slaps himself with a hoof an the face, due to the lost of balance, he fell forward with a thud. I can tell you this....he was not happy. Especially when I started laughing my ass off at him. I heard him mumbling about 'Writer's jokes' or something. This caught my attention. "Foxy, did you do what I think you did?" I raise a accusing brow at him. He looks about before answering. "Uh....No?" he shrugs uncertainly. I pick up my book and head over to where he was. I was a good few inches taller than him. I took the book and whacked him on the head all the while saying.... "No Foxy! Bad. No breaking the 4th Wall!" I didn't hit him hard, don't want to hurt his new body. All the while he was trying to cover himself from my blows with his hooves and saying sorry over and over again. After that little fiasco, I taught Foxy some new things about the new bodies we have now. He managed to get used to walking around too. When we finished, I went back to reading as he went exploring near me. He came back to me few minutes later. "So...you going to bring the rest back too?" he asks fiddling with his hooves. He has been acting a bit more childish due to his new form. I put a hoof to my bottom jaw in thought. "Well, maybe not all of them I may bring Freddy back, or Chica. Bonnie is good too." Foxy looks at me, probably studying me again. "What do you think?" I ask him. "I'd say....hmm...I really don't know." "Well, we might as well look around here as we think about who to choose. I can only choose one." I say getting up from where I sat on the ground. He watches me get up. "Do you feel that in the air?" he asks. I look over surprised. "You feel it too? I don't know what it is, but its everywhere." I headed to a hallway I have not gone down before with Foxy following next to me. "Should we try and find out?" he turned on his eye light, a light red-yellow glow. "Hmm....maybe. We could once we have decided who is going to be with us." Foxy nods understanding and keeps going with me down the hall. It had statues of ponies in many poses. I could feel and increase in the strength of the pressure around me. Foxy could feel it too, I could tell how he was looking about. We found a hallway leading downward. We looked at each other before nodding and heading down it. The pressure increased greatly the more we went down. It was a pretty long staircase, perhaps leading down to the canyon I saw coming in here. "We seem to be finding the source already." Foxy comments. "Aye, lets find out whats causing this annoying pressure around us." I saw a light at the bottom of the stairs, I took note of it and passed it on to Foxy, who nodded. The more we went down, the more the walls turned from bricks to stone. Burned out torches scattered along the walls. When we reached the bottom, the pressure had reached a massive level around us, not enough to hurt us but to make us feel unsafe. What we found left our mouths hanging wide. Author's Note Do vote on who will be the companion joining them in future chapters!! P.S no Halloween animatronics. Sorry.
Discovery...."That is one big tree...." The said tree was massive, made of crystal. There was five gems on each of the biggest branches and a purple star in the middle of the tree. We were so small compared to it. I looked to where the tree roots entered the ground and saw an open plant. I started moving forward but stopped short. It was the same feeling I felt when Fredbear was at the castle steps, but stronger. Foxy saw me moving and started to follow in turn. He was about to pass me, when I put a hoof out to stop him. He looks up at me tilting his head in confusion. I look down at him. "Don't go close, I know what will happen, but worse...." I warn. Foxy makes a short nod in understanding and looks back to the tree glowing brightly. "So what now?" he asks without looking at me. "We can't do anything to it as you say." "For once, I don't know." I reply. I see him furrow his brow. "Well, if we can't do anything we might as well leave it alone, right?" I grunt at him. He turns his head at me in confusion. "Is that a yes or no?" he asks. "A no." "Ok....." He looks back to the tree. He turns around and makes his way back to the stairs after observing the tree for a few more minutes. I see him do so and move to follow, but not without giving the tree one last look. We will meet again I bet.... We returned to the main hall, with the books from before gone. I stood confused. Why were they gone? I look to Foxy who shrugs at me before walking away to another room. I watched him leave before moving to follow. "Ugh...come on Twi. We have been here so many times I lost count the second time." I halt in my tracks and listened in to the voice of a child. Perfect way to bring back our fear storage. We thrive on fer to make us stronger. Almost like food. Foxy was long gone, I let him be and moved toward where I heard the voice. I reached the doorway to the library when I heard another voice. "But Spike, we should not leave a whole library out to rot. So grab as many as we can so we can go. Just like last time." I heard a small groan from the so called 'Spike'. I peered inside, careful to not make any noise. I spot the two intruders. A purple pony with wings and a horn by the bookshelves, pulling them off and setting them aside. I moved my head more to see the child, a dragon. I look up to see the glass roof, the full moon shining through, lighting up the library, I moved quickly and silently as they moved farther into the room. Moving my creaking gears in my torn hooves, I snuck up slowly on the dragon, it and the pony was unaware of my presence. I hit a book on the floor creating a solid thump that echoed through the ruins. I let lose a few curses quietly and looked down at the dang thing. I noticed that the sound of them walked had stopped. I could feel their gaze on me and hear them shaking in fear. Don't ask how I could hear that, I bet it was because of how quiet it got. I had unfurled my wings and hanged them limp by my sides, like I was shut down or something, I made my head look the same. "Um..." that was the pony I think. "Hello?" "Twilight....what is that thing?" I heard the other voice. "Its a...uh....I believe its a pony...It sure looks like one. Somewhat...." I sensed Twilight move closer to me. "E-excuse me ma'm?" My eyes were open as she leaned down to look at my face. She gasped and scrambled away in fear as I looked at her when she looked at me and noticing my teeth. I shut my eyes and 'Activated' by raising my head facing them. I heard a thump once I did that. My wings came up as well, extended behind my back, the sharp tips gleaming in the moonlight. I opened my eyes finally, seeing a face-planted Spike, and a shocked Twilight, fear flowing like a flood from her. I inhaled deeply, emitting a crackling sound as I took in the fear, my jaw opening wide. I closed my eyes briefly and when I opened them again the pony was gone along with the dragon. Looking toward a doorway I saw a dust cloud. I rolled my eyes and moved to catch up with her. Dang they move fast. I teleported to in front of her with outstretched forelegs and wings. She shrieked in surprise and turned around back to the library. I moved casually behind her. One: I could just teleport to her with no struggle. And two: That shriek she made probably was heard by Foxy. His hearing is extremely sharp. No clue why it is. I arrived back in the library to find I was correct about one thing- Foxy has spectacular hearing. Foxy had both of them trapped, Spike was awake again and was clinging onto Twilight's hoof and watching Foxy with wide eyes. Twilight on the other hand, was in a fight-or-flight stance. I made my way over to Foxy's side, I bump Foxy lightly, he was still watching them. "So who's your new friends?" I saw Twilight waver and stare shocked and possibly disgusted at me. I turned to look at her in false offence. "Why you no like my voice? I think its perfect." I moved forward to her lifting a wing to brush against her cheek, she flinched away from it and stared straight into my eyes. I stared back unfazed. I brush the wing-claw back on her cheek, this time she just watched it along with Spike in fear. I come in closer to her ear to whisper into it. "Thank you for the free fear. We really needed it." I smirk at her expression of shock and moved away. I looked at the dragon under her. I won't lie, he was literally scared shit-less. I nearly burst out laughing at it. "W-who are you?" Twilight asked me. I chuckle. "I am called, Nightmare."I move back next to Foxy. I wave a wing-claw to him. "And this is Foxy." I saw her eyes go wide and her pupils shrink to pinpricks as the realization struck her. She backed away with Spike in tow. "W-wait are you who I think you are?" she asked. "That I am." Foxy and I followed her into the corner. She was now visibly shaking with fear. I started raising my wings to grab her, (forgot to mention this but my wings are much larger than the normal pony wings) her horn started to glow and she held Spike more closer to her. I chuckled at their acts. "What you going to do little one? Cry to the princesses?" She gasped and her horn glowed even brighter, so much that I was starting to get blinded. "What are doing?" I asked getting very close to reaching her. "Stop! Foxy, get over ere!" I heard him comply and grunt as he too was blinded. I managed to reach her and swing my wing downward, hoping to deliver a blow- When they vanished. The light was gone so we could see that they were not here. I was enraged and so was Foxy. I swung my wings across the tables in the library, knocking off and damaging whatever was on them. All the while yelling and roaring in anger. Foxy just stood, watching me release my feelings. How I could tell, was I saw him there watching me as I smashed a table in half. I was tired when I finished. Foxy came over and put a hoof on my side. "We'll get one of them someday, not today I guess." I looked down at his split jaw of a filly and into his eyes, he was smaller than me by quite a bit. I nod understanding and looked back down at the ground. Then, I heard a sound of dripping. I brought my wing-claws up to examine them, to find the one that I swung at her had delivered a blow and was now dripping blood. I smiled as I showed it to Foxy who smiled in turn. "Got her." Author's Note Sorry about not posting in FOREVER. I wanted to work on it but for some reason my brain said otherwise. Anyway here's the next chapter. P.S Voting still going, no Halloween animatronics.
In tears....Third person. Twilight arrived inside of the castle screaming in pain. Spike was wide eyed and ran off to find the rest of the Mane six, more or less in fear. Twilight fell over with a cry as the stump of her right foreleg stained the crystal floor. She had raised it defend herself when Nightmare swung at her, the wing-claws cut right through the flesh and bone. Breathing heavily, she looked over to the stump of her foreleg, before her vision started to fall. Her head lands back on the ground with a thump. Thoughts went zooming through her head as her vision fell even farther into darkness; "Will I make it? Will I live? Will I be crippled for the rest of my life, and lose my friends? Or worse?" She faintly heard a door open and turned her eyes to see her friends rushing to her side, along with Spike. Her vision was almost gone... She could feel Fluttershy lifting her head and talking to her, trying to keep her awake. Panic rose on her face as Twilight started to close her eyes. Fluttershy was practically screaming for Twilight to stay awake. But to no avail, Twilight went out like a flame. Fluttershy burst into tears. Rarity did so in turn, Pinkies mane deflated well before Twilight blanked out, and was in tears. Rainbow was doing her best to not cry but could not hold back at the 10th second, and fell to the ground crying over Twilight, with her blood below her on the floor, coating her cyan blue fur. AJ held her hat down and silently cried. Fluttershy perked up at the faint sound of labored breathing. She looked at Twilight and saw her sides move up and down slowly. Her eyes widen and she lightly shoves Rainbow to get her attention. Rainbow looks at her with tears still falling down her face. "She's still alive!" she hollers. Rainbow blinked in confusion and looked at Twilight. Her eyes slowly widened as she saw her breathing shallow breaths. With a gasp of realization, she started to lift Twilight from where she lay. The others heard Fluttershy's outburst and joined in on helping with Rainbow. Aj lifted her onto her back with help from Rarity with her magic, Pinkie held Twilight's hoof stump close to slow the blood loss. Rainbow and Fluttershy kept above to make sure she does not fall off AJ's back. Rainbow opened the doors exiting the castle and helped them down the steps. There were no ponies out that night, it would have been a quiet night if nothing had ever happened. Twilight's POV I woke to the sound of steady beeping. I groaned softly as the light hit my eyes, leaving them unfocused. I could feel a weight on my side and looked over to see Rainbow sleeping there. Turning away from her, I looked at the rest of the room. I was in the Ponyville hospital, and that steady beeping was the heart monitor hooked up to me, as well as a blood bag leading into me. In the corner was the rest of my friends, soundly asleep. A closer look at them all showed that their eyes were red and swollen, like they had been crying. Why? I move around lightly and froze as I felt something missing. Moving around some more, I felt the disturbance was on my right hoof, slowly and tenderly, so not to mess with the medical equipment, I raise it to my view. My eyes widen as I saw it. It was only a stump with bandages wrapped around the tip. I raised my left hoof to compare. The right one was gone completely to the knee. I heard hoofsteps outside the door and laid my head back down facing it. The opened to show a unicorn Nurse. Her eyes widen once she saw me in glee. She rushed to my side, mindful of the sleeping ponies on the floor. "Princess! You're awake!" she exclaimed. I just simply nodded. "How do you feel?" she asked pulling out a clipboard with a pen in her magic. I opened my mouth to speak when I heard a commotion outside the open door. The nurse turned to hear as well. "I demand to see her! I am the princess of the night! I demand you let me pass!" I smirked at who it was when she entered the doorway. "Twilight!" Luna exclaimed as she rushed inside. The Nurse quickly moved out of the way to allow the moon princess by. Rainbow was started awake, with a yelp, by Luna's shout and fell onto the floor, bumping her head on the ground right in front of Luna. Luna side stepped Rainbow and arrived at my side. Worry filled her eyes. "Twilight, I came as soon as I could once I heard about what happened to you. Celestia couldn't make it so I came instead." I smiled once she finished. "Thank you Luna for coming so soon." I looked down at Rainbow, who was rubbing her head. The rest of them had awoken due to all the commotion that transpired here. "Thank you all for getting me here safely, I knew I could still count on you all." Rarity spoke up first. "Why would we not help you? You were clearly in pain and was in need of hospital care. All of use helped carry you here." The others nod agreement. "And you gave us quite a scare when we thought you weren't going to wake up That brings out a smile on my face. Luna speaks up. "What happened?" she asked. I frowned at the memory. My friends moved closer, eager to hear what happen, I can't fault them for being curious. I told them of my journey in the Everfree and the castle. I was hesitant at first but once I started going I was able to fully tell them what happen. They would gasp at certain parts of when I was in the castle when the thing chased me. Luna would look like she was thinking deeply when I described what it looked like. When I reached the part when it and the other one had us cornered, they were pretty scared. I finished the tale with arriving in the castle and passing out from the pain and blood loss. They all moved forward and, very gently, hugged me in a group, which I returned the hugs in turn. Luna stood out watching the hugging with a thoughtful look. The nurse was long gone, she left shortly after everypony woke up, shutting the door in kind. My friends moved away with sad smiles and Luna came forth with a small grin. She looked to the door and then at the floor, clearly thinking more before looking at me again. "I must return to Canterlot, sorry my time with you was short." she said before turning to leave. Confused I moved to stop her, when she stopped, like sensing my question. "I am going to meet someone who should know what this beast is who attacked you." she said quietly before leaving us confused slightly. Author's Note Sorry about slow updating. Trying my best. P.S B-day this month!!!
Old friends... Old friends... Luna's POV I rushed down the steps of the lower dungeons of Canterlot, where we keep our most dangerous in other than Tartarus. I had four of my guards flanking me from behind as I made my way down. A few minutes later, I arrived at the cell I was aimed for. I gave the order to open the spell sealed door along with the locks on it to let me in. The door swung open as I walk inside with my guards. "Hello Equine." I looked at the hanging figure on the wall. It was a golden bear-like creature with massive claws and teeth, teeth so big it splits it jaw at such a unusual angle that every time I see it, I shudder. The bear was covered is holes and was showing metal under it. At the middle of its belly, had a row of teeth jutting outward. Its voice was a deep distorted one, making even me feel chill up my spine "Fredbear...." I returned in greeting. It was our usual greeting, say a few words (or insults in his case) and end chat with me leaving and locking the door for the next time. "I take this is our annual chat?" he asked showing no emotion. I shake my head. "I'm afraid not, something has shown up that I think you know. And I need your help." I inform him. He scoffs. "You? Needing me to help you? How can I even help you, look at what you are doing to me. You killed me in the dream realm. Discovered I was still alive and made it to the real world again and had me hunted down. You captured me and left me hanging here alone, with you coming to mock me as I hang, unable to do anything thanks to these spells and chains." He shakes his arm, rattling the chains to empathize his point. He looks back at me. "I ask again. Why. Should. I. Help. You?" I remained stoic through his whole reply before answering. "Because, somepony has arrived and hurt a princess and hero of Equestria, putting her into the hospital. She barely survived the encounter." He rolls his blood red eyes at me. "And this concerns me how?" he asks breaking eye contact at the finishing word. "The creature she described sounded very similar to you, only in pony form." I reply. He looked up at me in curiosity and raised a brow. "What did this...'creature' look like?" he asks. "It was a deep gray with black and red hair, and had glowing red eyes much like yours, as well as the teeth and split jaw." I explain. I hear a small sharp gasp and wide eyes from Fredbear. "Nightmare..." My ear flicks at the incredibly soft voice he produced. "Can you say that again?" I ask tilting my head at him. "Its Nightmare.....My traitor brother." he repeats. I remember what happened in the dream realm. The Nightmare, as Fredbear calls it, vanishing from behind him as he fought me, and remembered how he gave up shortly once that happened. I shake my head clear of the memories and focused on Fredbear hanging there, looking down at the floor. I sigh softly. "I need your help to take him down." I finally ask him, catching his attention once again. He looked to be thinking deeply, for he looked back down at the floor, moving his jaw idly. After a few more minutes, he finally looked back up at me, the answer clear in his face. "I will help you.....Luna." The guards were clearly nervous with Fredbear walking next to me, free from his chains but not completely of the spells on him, he was somewhat joyed at being able to walk again. He got upset at the fact that not all the restrictions will be removed from him. He just shrugged and walked on out once I stepped out with the guards. I could tell the guards were eyeing him as we walk back up the stairs to the surface. I would too if I was them walking with a higher power. We arrived to the top of the stairs to meet the blinding light. I heard soft grunts as the guards shielded their eyes. Fredbear and I just stood there basking in its glory, Fredbear more so. Fredbear looked more peaceful in the light, despite his form. "You are to go to the town of Ponyville and find the element bearers and explain to them that you are going to help them." I informed him while looking at him. He turned his head and looked down a me. "Won't the population be terrified of me, as much as I love seeing that, I would think you have a plan so I don't get attention drawn to me." "That's why I plan to turn you into a pony." He did a double-take at that and stared at me in disbelief. "What?! You can make me a weak pony like yourself?" He went silent shortly after that outburst. "I....I guess if it will help me get to my brother then I'll do it. But....I want to be able to turn into my true for at will, for obvious reasons." He finished. I nodded. "You will be given that ability." I closed my eyes to search for the spell, for it has been too long since I cast this. I opened them again and saw him standing there with crossed arms. "This may hurt or feel uncomfortable for a bit, so try to endure it as the spell is cast." He nods curtly. "Alright...." I feel my horn light up with the spell. "Hold still." He goes ridged as the spell takes effect on him. A light shines over his form as he started to take the shape of a pony stallion. The sound of bones cracking sounds through the air as the guards winced at the unpleasant sound. The spell ended with him on the ground. I observed him as he laid there. He had a deep blue coat with green and black hair. His mark a cog wheel with a deep red dot in the middle. Fredbear, shakily stood up on his legs to his full height in one go, which impressed me, but what shocked me is what came next as bat wings came out of his back with a small sound and his eyes snapping open showing me his silted Bat-pony eyes. His eyes were cyan blue with small specks of red and black at the edges. "Fredbear? Are you alright?" I asked taking some steps forward. He looked at me before raising a hoof to his face and observing it. "I'm not Fredbear in this form...." He puts his hoof down and looks at me square in the eyes. "It's Eventide." I blink in surprise at the name, it is fitting. For it is another meaning for night, though not very commonly said from what I've heard. Also I was surprised at the fact that he chose a name so fast. He was overlooking the rest of his form, he took a big interest at the bat wings. I chuckled softly at him, covering my mouth with a hoof. I can't help but think that he is pretty handsome.... He looked up at me at the sound of my muffled laugh with a cocked brow. "So....where do I go to get to Ponyville? That is if you are done finding my form amusing." He blinks in slight shock, before long, a small smile appeared on his face. "And...attractive." My eyes go wide and I felt my face heating up. Behind me, the guards were chuckling softly to themselves. I groaned in annoyance. Snapping around to face the guards, they silenced immediately under my gaze and stood at attention. I smiled lightly before turning back to Eventide, who was now inspecting his batwings with great interest. I cough to get his attention. "I will teleport you to Ponyville, so you don't have to take the train." He nods understanding. "Alright, Princess. Do it." I nod before beginning to cast the spell on him. I saw him shiver as the spell took effect and a split second later, he was gone in a flash of light. Foxy's POV I was watching Nightmare as he prepared to create Chica. He said he was going to make her in a bigger body than what I got, that of which I'm still upset about. Crossing my fore-hooves, careful not to fall forward, I watched in small interest as a cloud of dust started forming in front of Nightmare's extended hoof. Soon, the dust started to take a form. The form of a full grown pony stallion, with pitch black fur and black and dark blue hair. Nightmare made a face as he focused even more, causing the dust form to have a split jaw and empty eyes like us. Finally, the dark pony dropped to the stone ground with a thud and the sound of a sigh from Nightmare as Chica was finished. I stared at the new body of Chica in study before looking back at Nightmare, "So...when will she wake up?" I was still not used to my new voice. Nightmare looked up at me, for he had his head down in exhaustion, before looking briefly at Chica then at me, "I'd say, a few hours. She'll be a bit surprised at her new form," He paused to close his jaw to form a crude smile, "Maybe even mad." I let loose a small chuckle and shook my head, "Yea, probably." I looked up to him suddenly serious, "But, remember that you promised that whenever I want to be my natural form, you will grant it." Nightmare moved in realization at something. "You are fully able to change to your natural form this whole time. I just discovered that we could do that," He informed me. To further prove his point, his form started to change. His body took on a more bulky form and the colors he had turned pure black, plus his body got much more larger. I had to place my fore-hooves behind me and lean back to peer up at his true size. His transformation finished, he looked down at my quite small form with a smile. A low rumbling sound emitted from him, which I then shortly found out that was a chuckle, "You are so small, I could crush half your body under my foot," He pointed out. I recoiled slightly at that statement, earning another rumbling chuckle from the giant. I closed my eyes as I attempted to turn into my true form like Nightmare did. In my mind I saw a glowing orb, it was colored rust brown. I attempted to touch it with my mind. When I did, what I got was a warm feeling flowing through my body as the transformation did its work. Shortly after, I rose to my new height, careful to not bump him with my nose, coming to only to Nightmare's lower jaw. I was still quite short and had to look up to look into his eyes. Nightmare chuckled again when I looked up at him. "You are still short. Makes me wonder who thought of the heights for us," he said amused. I rolled my eyes in annoyance at him before walking past him to explore a bit more. As I moved away, I walked past Chica, who was so short compared to me. Now I know how Nightmare felt looking at me. I chuckled lightly as I thought about that and walking away into a random corridor. Author's Note Sorry guys....I'm kinda losing the fight to keep writing.
