Springtrapped

Trevor slumped down in his work chair, wiping a decently accumulated amount sweat from his forehead. He leaned back in his chair, using his leg to make him spin around in a circle. His work place wasn't exactly small, in fact it was the exact opposite. This place was so big he didn't know what to do with it. Luckily he didn't have to work here alone; his best friend and work partner, Spring Lock, was always there to keep him company. He was an older stallion, he was definitely older than Trevor, but somehow they managed to form that special kind of bond that one would usually get from spending too much time with their grandparent. So in short, they would bicker at each other, throw a few insults around, then laugh about it like it was nothing. His age most certainly showed though; he was almost fifty now and his brown coat was a bit dull compared to it's former glory and his mane had streaks of silver in that black rats nest. Seriously, he could have sworn that Spring Lock was going for the Doc Brown look. He found that to be pretty hilarious. Speaking of things that were comical, his cutie mark gave Trevor quite the comedic edge. Most ponies he met had names that corresponded to their cutie mark, however, Spring Lock's did to a point. Rather than his cutie mark being and image of an actual spring lock, it was simply a metal spring with a padlock on it.

Spring Lock mimic the actions of his friend, Trevor. Plopping down on his work chair to take a break from toying around with the bits of metal. He let his body sink into the seat as he looked over at his spinning friend. He never would have believed that humans actually existed if it wasn't for Trevor. Hell, if you had told him two years ago that he would befriend a tall, bipedal creature with pale skin and dark hair that dressed like he was a greaser, he probably would have slapped you before dropping you off at the nearest rehab center. But he couldn't deny it now, it was far too late. He looked pass his human friend and down at the cooler by his chair, using his magic to open it and pull out a bottle of hard cider.

Trevor spotted the floating bottle, and as per routine, grabbed it from the air and pressed the cap against the table before hitting it with his palm. The cap flew off of the bottle and landed on the floor, completely forgotten by the two. Once that was done he held the cold beverage out towards his old friend only for it to be levitated from his grip. He then reached into the cooler and grabbed one for himself, repeating the opening process before taking a quick drink.

"Hey!" Spring Lock yelled, earning him the attention of the human. "How old are you?" He asked sternly.

Trevor looked at him with a blank expression before answering with, "Twenty-one."

After maybe a minute of staring each other down they could no longer hold their poker-faces. They both started laughing at the other for seeming so serious. "You lying little bastard!" Spring Lock added between chuckles.

"Bite me, you old fart." He retorted, taking another drink. He was only nineteen and the drinking age here was the same as on earth, but Spring Lock really didn't mind. He just liked to give Trevor a hard time.

Spring Lock took a drink from his bottle as well. "You know the rule, just make sure princess Celestia doesn't find you out. And, if she does, it didn't come from me."

"If she does find out, you have my permission to punch me in the gut." He replied with a light snicker, believing that day would never happen. However, as luck would have it...

"Good morning, gentlecolts." A warm, motherly voice spoke from behind them, causing the two to spit whatever was in their mouth out and jump to their feet.

"Hi princess, lovely day isn't it?" Trevor asked nervously, hiding the bottle behind his back and tapping Spring Lock with one of his hands to get his attention. "Isn't it a lovely day?"

Spring Lock played along out of panic, "Why, it most certainly is. If you're quiet, you can hear the birds chirping from outside."

The room went silent for a moment, oh and guess what, you couldn't hear a single bird. Celestia focused her attention on the two in front of her, more specifically, the underage human who was holding something that he didn't want her to see. "Trevor, what's that behind your back?" She asked, despite already knowing what it was.

"Uhh, nothing!" His hand suddenly flew up, throwing the bottle far behind him. Once it was out of sight a slight crash could be heard as the bottle struck the ground and shattered. "Nothing at all. My hand are empty."

"I see that," she said with a smirk before picking him up in her magic and pulling him closer to her. "but what's that strange scent coming from your breath?"

Trevor tried to speak, but fumbled his words ab bit before clearing his throat and speaking nervously. "Well, it's actually a number of things. There's the oatmeal I had for breakfast, some of the apple I had for lunch," his eyes suddenly locked onto her with a predatory gaze, "a little bit of you from last night."

Celestia was caught completely off guard from his statement, causing her to both blush and release him from her magical hold, allowing him to grab her chin and give her a light kiss on her lips.

"Calm down, girl. I'm just playing around." He said, before walking over to Spring Lock and leaning against the table they were working atop of. "So what did you come down here for?"

After regaining her thoughts and composure Celestia straighten out and said, "I have come to see how much progress you've made on your- what do you call them, animations?"

"Animatronics, princess." Spring Lock corrected.

"My apologies. So how are they coming along?" She asked.

"Actually," Trevor started, "they're pretty much done. All that's left is to finish Foxy's foot." Trevor reach over and grabbed a redish-brown robotic looking foot. Once the Princess got a look at it he pulled it back over to himself and grabbed a wrench to tighten a bolt on it. "That should do it."

"That's wonderful. How about we go see them now." She said, walking over to a large curtained off area where they had told her the finished products would be.

Before the two could walk over, Spring Lock stopped in front of Trevor and gave him a single punch to the stomach. He grunted from the pain and fell to his knew. "You...old...dick..."

Spring Lock smiled and walked over to the curtain, standing beside it with his magic grabbing the bottom corners. He waited for Trevor to stumble over before lifting it though. "Celestia, I give you, the Fazbear crew!" He said, pulling the tarp away to reveal four labeled animatronic characters; Freddy, Chica, Bonnie, and Foxy. Each one stood about as tall as Celestia since they were built off of Trevor's stature to be bipedal.

"Wow, they certainly are fascinating and quite adorable." She commented as she looked over the cartoony looking robots.

Trevor walked over to Foxy, who seemed to be leaning a bit, and lifted him so he was standing properly while he slid the foot into place and tightened a few more bolts to make sure it would stay in place. "Alright, they're good to go. Power them on, buddy!" He yelled over to Spring Lock. With Equestria not having a whole lot going on with electricity, the animatronics were powered purely by magic.

Spring Lock powered up his horn, surrounding both it and all of the characters with a silver aura. A small battery symbol appeared on their chest as they started to take in the magical energy, the symbols on them flashing with little bars to show that they were charging. When they all reached full the symbol turned green before vanishing. Their eyes suddenly lit up as they hummed to life and started looking around. Spring Lock walked in front of the bipedal bear. "Hello there."

The bear's body turned toward Spring Lock before it held out a hand. "Hello, my name is Freddy Fazbear." It spoke in a calming voice that sounded as if it were coming from a phone. "Would you like to be friends?"

"Of course I would." Spring Lock replied, reaching out and allowing the robot bear to gently shake his hoof.

"Oh, wow..." Celestia stated in awe, "That's so-" She was suddenly cut off as something came up behind her and yelled, causing her to jump and shriek.

"ARRG!!! Ahoy, matey. The name be Foxy." The pirate fox stated, holding his hook out to her.

Celestia, still slightly cowering from shock, could do nothing but stare at the robotic figure.

"Foxy!" A much younger sounding robotic voice called out. "Foxy, I think you should bring it down a bit, you're scaring her."

"That be a load of crud!" The fox shouted to the small robot bunny.

"Foxy," another voice came, this one sounding female, "I know you did not mean to, but you have scared this poor mare."

The pirate fox looked at Celestia before realizing his mistake. "Arrg, you be right. I guess I should bring down me volume a bit. You have me most sincerest apologies Princess."

"Oh?" She she questioned, staring at the fox. "You know who I am."

"Naturally." Trevor started as he walked over. "They are programmed to recognize royalty. You see, we put little cards in their heads that allows them to scan faces and save them. That way if they meet the same pony twice they will recognize them. They also have been programmed with knowledge on a number of subjects. Foxy knows all about geography and sea life, Chica knows about animal care and baking, Bonnie is great with decoration as well as staying trendy, and Freddy knows about wildlife. Finally; just as a little treat for the kids, each one of them is programmed to know over one hundred different stories. Both fiction and non."

"My, my, aren't we the little brainiacs?" She said to the two workers.

Bonnie looked over at Trevor and walked over to him. "Wow, Trevor, you look tired."

"So do you, Mr. Spring Lock." Chica followed up.

"Arrg! And you both be a dirty as pirates rollin in dirt" Foxy chimed.

Out of nowhere Freddy appeared and put an arm around both of them. "You both look like you could use some rest."

Celestia couldn't help but giggle like a filly, she was really starting to like these thing. "I agree, you both have been working so hard. At the very least, you deserve a good nights rest and a shower."

"Oh, believe me Princess, I would love nothing more." Spring Lock started, "But, there is one last piece to this puzzle that I would like to show you."

Both Celestia and Trevor looked over at Spring Lock with slight confusion. "I'm sorry, what?" He asked, not having a clue what his old friend was referring to.

"You see, as we have been working on our wonderful new friends I have been working on a little side project." He explained. "I thought that if we could build these animatronics than why not make something more...biologically advanced."

"Spring, buddy. You're starting to sound like a mad scientist, okay...and I really don't know how to feel about it." Trevor said out of concern for his old friend. Was he finally going senile?

Spring Lock let out and annoyed sigh before motioning for them to follow him. "Just come with me and I will show you."

Celestia and Trevor eyed each other for a second before complying and following Spring Lock to the back of the large room, leaving the animatronics to talk and play with each other. Once they reached the back they came to a door that they had never used before, or so Trevor thought. Spring Lock opened the door and flipped a switch, turning on the lights in the room. The small area was filled with metals of all kind, tools scattered across the floor and up against the wall was another Bonnie, this one slightly more masculine looking, a bit thicker around the limbs, and painted to look like gold. Both Celestia's and Trevor's jaws dropped as they stared at it in awe.

Spring Lock stood in front of the suit with a cocky smile plastered on his face. "Behold, ladies and gentlecolts. I give you, Spring Bonnie."

The room was silent for just a moment longer, before Trevor decided to ruin it with words that made Spring Locks smile turn into an annoyed frown. "I don't get it. Why did you build another Bonnie...and why is he...different?"

Spring Lock let out a sigh and moved closer to the animatronic, pulling a crank out of the side of the leg and winding it, causing the Bonnie to open up, revealing a space where a humanoid figure could slide in. "This is no ordinary Bonnie, this is Spring Bonnie. An animatronic I designed to be worn as a suit. I made it as a thank you gift for helping me with this project."

Trevor looked up at the suit then back down to his friend. "Spring Lock...you really didn't have to do anything for-"

"Oh, but I did. If it wasn't for you and your knowledge of mechanics, as well as physical advantages that I do not harbor, this little dream of mine would still just be another useless thought in the back of my mind. So with this suit, I say thank you my dear friend." As he finished he could feel a single tear run down his cheek. Spring Lock had always had a soft spot for foals and wanted to do something to change the world by making them happy. If it wasn't for Trevor, his dream would never have come true.

Trevor smiled before feeling a nudge against his shoulder. "What are you waiting for?" Celestia asked, "Go try it on. I'm curious to see what my little human looks like as a big bunny."

The three of them chuckled a bit before Trevor walked over and climbed into the Spring Bonnie. "So how exactly did you do this?" He asked as Spring Lock started turning the crank to close the suit.

"I built it as a normal animatronic, but I removed the endo-skeleton. However, there wouldn't be enough room so I had to expand the pieces with a bit of magic, then I started using this little thing I made that I call a spring lock. When I turn this crank the spring locks release and allow it to open. When I close it the spring locks will reattach and hold the suit shut." Once the suit was shut he walked in front of it to get a quick look before he continued. "Seems to be fitted perfectly. Good." He went back over and continued turning the crank. "It's gotten quite the nickname though, since the spring locks like to act up sometimes."

"What are you blabbering about old man?" He asked with a light laugh.

Spring Lock rolled his eyes as he continued his story. "The co-workers I had helping me build this and run it through tests called it Springtrap."

"Why would they call it that?" Celestia asked.

"Because the suit would malfunction from time to time, causing the spring locks to snap and either make the suit fly open or seal it shut. More often then not though we spet hours trying to get it open, so they started calling it Springtrap because they felt it would trap whoever went in."

"Thanks, that's reassuring." Trevor started, "I mean, you're only waiting until I'm in this thing to tell me that."

"Yes, that was intentional." Spring Lock said, earning him a glare from the human. "Don't be such a baby. I've been testing it daily for weeks now and their has not been a single-" There was a light snapping noise that came from the leg of the suit as the crank broke, "incident...whoops."

"Nice job old man." Trevor started moving his arms around. It felt weird at first, but it was pretty cool. He took a step forward to get his footing right, but almost fell over. "Holy crap, this is awesome!"

"I'm sure it is, but we should probably try to get it off. Now that the crank broke I'm going to need to replace it. I didn't hear the spring locks go off so the suit should not be sealed. Just give it a tug and it should open."

Trevor grabbed the chest of the suit and started pulling, but nothing happened. "Dammit, this thing is really stuck in place."

"And so the loving Spring Bonnie is overpowered by the Springtrap once more...I'll see what I can do." Spring Lock said as he started digging through his tools.

Celestia walked over to Trevor who was still pulling at the suit. "Looks like you've got yourself in quite the bind, don't you?"

"Bite me." He said, grabbing the mask and lifting it up with little effort. "Hey, buddy! The face came off, but that's all I got so far."

The unicorn kept his attention on his equipment as he dug around and searched. "Just keep trying, I haven't found the right tool yet."

The alicorn leaned over the jaw of the mask, planting a loving kiss on Trevor's lips. Once broken she scanned the suit with her eyes, wondering if maybe she could get it off. "Let me try something really quick." Celestia focused her magic on the suit, enveloping it in a golden hue.

Spring Lock, having finally found the tool he needed, turned around to see the Princess using her magic on the suit. "Wait, Princess! If you do that the suit will-" A light humming came from the suit as a small battery symbol appeared on its chest, "power on..."

Celestia ceased her magical actions, but it was too late. As the suit powered on with what little charge it had it started to compress against Trevor's body, gripping him tightly within it. The sudden pressure of the suit started a chain reaction, causing the spring locks within to snap and break off in different directions, most of which were digging into Trevor's flesh. He screamed in pain as the golden Bonnie suit started to literally tear him apart, causing thick red puddles to form below him. He started grabbing at the suit and pulling harder, desperate to get it off. He didn't stop fighting, that was until the spring locks in the mask caused it to snap shut and drive small chunks of metal into his face. As the springs continued to break all about the contraption Trevor's body finally got to the point where it couldn't function which made his body collapse to the floor, most of his blood was either leaking through the suit or already on the ground. As the life quickly started to fade from him he could hear Celestia screaming in horror, and with how he landed, he could see his best friend standing still with wide eyes, unable to move from the shock. Then finally, the world around him faded to black and the pain was gone.
