Pink Tac Toe: What happened and how does it contribute to the lore?! - PROLOUGE to the horrors!
The new job
Ponymatronic Pinkie Pie bounced in free-roaming mode through the streets of Ponyville 2.0. It had been 30 years since the original had been destroyed. FNAPinkies was now in full swing, and Robo Pinkie was coming home to the restaurant. It was called "Pinkie's Balloons, Cupcakes and Pizza" restaurant and the ponybot was eager to relax in her home again. She had been baking cupcakes at SugarSweet Gingerbread house; the replacement for Sugar Cube Corner. Pinkie had scowled at the bakery at first, for this had been her home that she had tried to destroy. Her Cupcake Corner was her home now. Pinkie, Rainbow, and Derpy had completed an evil Cake's master plan to take over Equestria. Sadly, however, Princess Celestia had been able to stop them after they had killed everyone in Ponyville and most other ponies in other parts of Equestria. (Most had been turned into Rainbow Zombie Cookies, Cupcakes, and Muffins.)
Celestia had brought back most of the population, and when the pony trio had been thrown in jail for their crimes, they were able to escape...unfortunately, they had fallen into the clutches of Purple Colt. The unicorn kidnaped them, and instead of letting them rot in jail forever, they had been town into the Resturant's star ponymatronics. Technically, the master plan of the evil cake's was going to come true anyway. After Equestria had heard that something had happened to the trio and that the robots were acting like actual ponies, they let them roam; they knew that the ponies in question must have been in the robots. Since Equestria thought that they would now be harmless since they were trapped forever in Ponyville; (soon to be Ponyville 2.0), and the rest of the mane keep an eye on the robots, they assumed that the robo-trio would not cause any more trouble ever again. They were DEAD wrong.
...................
There were 10 ponymatronics at the restaurant. The normal ones are the original Twilight, Pinkie, Rainbow, and Fluttershy. Well...there were two other ones in a dark, and secret storage place...Suntrap and Startrap. They have not been used in years, are all rusty and creepy looking; and they can also cause illusions and manipulated ponies with their magic. Startrap was made to help Suntrap with her plans in case the former was too weak to go through with them. Suntrap, police suggest, is most likely Purple Colt in disguise, or his plan had backfired years ago, so he had been thrown in the robot. It could also be that there were more than one 'purple colts' and that that one may be dead, or may actually be hiding in one of the robots; while the others are loose and hidden in somewhere in Equestria. The zombie pony-bots are Pinkamena, Factory Dash, and Derpy Ditzy-doo Hooves. Soon all three ponies would be out for revenge when they had enough strength, gumption, and plans to be able to take over Equestria's sake - for the spirit of their previous master...Cakezilla!
Even though Pinkie was living in a place where she had destroyed almost everypony and was technically banished to live in the same place forever, Pinkie had had an exciting day, although, she somehow knew that she had to not exert herself today. There was going to be a new security guard-pony recruited tonight. This pony...was going to be one of her friends from a previous life...one of the most annoying ones, one of the few who had ruined her evil plans. Pinkie could FEEL it. This pony's name was....
Princess Twilight Sparkle.
........................
Twilight Sparkle was ecstatic! She was going to be working at the relatively new restaurant that had brought fillies and Pinkie Pie so much joy! Well...until the Cupcakes, Rainbow Factory, and Muffins incidents. It was now the princesses' turn to now spread joy again after the amount of sadness those events had caused. Some ponies even said that the restaurant was haunted by the zombies of Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash, and Derpy Hooves. Because of how "Fallout Equestria" her home was now, Twilight could only doubt the possibility of the scary thought. However, she decided to perish it instead - she had from Princess Celestia a job to complete - removing the tarnish on the Resturant that had mostly been caused by Pinkie and her friends in the past, and protecting the Resturant's reputation!
Twilight Sparkle was flying through Ponyville towards the Restaurant. It actually goes by many names, such as 'Pinkie's Cupcakes Corner', so it was usually just called 'Pinkie Pie's Pizza and Cupcake place.' The brave princess flew into the building and walked up to the front desk. The receptionist gave the alicorn a worried look, knowing exactly which job she would apply for.
"You aren't here to apply for the job are you?" The Unicorn asked. Cherry Blossom was half scared to death - she didn't want her favorite princess to be killed! Ever since last year, she had denied any access to the job. The last one had been a scientist who had created a living hologram of Rainbow Dash so that she could stand in for the insane pony. For now, the hologram was still alive - she was infused with the exact DNA of Rainbow Dash's mane and, because she is a hologram, also exhibits robot-like strength.
Twilight answered, "Yes, I am here to sign up...." She then whispered, "But don't worry, Celestia knows what will happen to me during this time...she will come to my aid if I need her help."
It took offers of 12,000 bit to repair the restaurant and the offer of being able to stay in the beautiful castle library for a month to have Cherry change her mind. However, she still put an extra protection spell on the princess.
Twilight was then showed her work-room. It was a small office, with a fan that cannot be unplugged, and small, flickering, static-showing tv screens; all of these items were going to kill off the power; Twilight was sure of it! She then sat comfortable on the seat in front of the office desk. Twilight already knew how to play this dangerous 'game', and knew about all of the FNAP lore. The security guards were stuck with Pinkie Pie for five nights and have to survive Pinkie Pie and her friends. She was going to have to up her 'A' game even more - she HAD to survive...for her friends...for Flash...for EQUESTRIA!!
.............
Ring...Ring! Riiiiiiing....riiiiiiing! Beep!
The telephone buzzed, and an answering machine explained the upcoming message. Twilight expected this, however, and did not jump when the declaration she had had in her head had been interrupted. Holo-Dash was going to speak and explain about the company, how Twilight would avoid the robot monsters, as well as explain if any new robo-ponies will be added to the Resturant, and who they will be. Twilight had decided to listen this week, in case there was some new information she needed to know, or even information she'd missed herself, in fine print of something. Especially since in the newspaper for the job description, it mentioned in tiny writing that the robots may, can and WILL kill all employees under the cover of darkness - especially if you were a security guard.
"Hello...heloo? ....Hello! I'm your friendly neighborhood Rainbow Dash! Well...actually...my scientist mother told me the horrible truth - I am a hologram...the REAL Rainbow Dash is dead. I am HoloDash."
Twilight became teary-eyed at the mention of her friend.
"Anyway", HoloDash continued, "I'm here to help you out in your dangerous security guard adventure! However, I need to explain the shpeal from the company...enjoy this list! I don't feel many emotions anymore but I DO know justice - and sooner or later, these monsters must be DESTROYED!"
"Somehow...and hopefully, I'LL be able to destroy them...my friends were turned into those things...I have to at least help my friends gain a second chance!" Twilight muttered, knowing that the metal of the ponybots are almost extraterrestrial...almost as strong as the Pokemon Regigigas's steel. Other guards had tried to destroy, (or at least make a dent in), the robots, and they ended up getting killed because of it. Twilight sighed. She now had to come realize that she now had find a way destroy the strong robots, and save Equestria!
"I hope you have fun being a guard," Rainbow continued, and interrupted the Princess's train of thought. "Because...you cannot get out of this - the ponymatronics will PERSONALLY hunt you down if you neglect your job. It would be VERY painful, or scary if you ran away now, or even later - if your job isn't completed."
Twilight winced, knowing that she definitely was trapped in this job - and nopony had forced her to join.
"This may be your last night or week. Prepare for a fight for your life - this is a personal war that not many other ponies know about. You cannot tell many ponies either...the ponymatrons will hurt you for the rest of your life otherwise! Get ready to use your strategy and self-defense....you'll need 'em...Princess."
Twilight blinked. How did Holo know it was HER in this security room?!
"Yes, I know it's you. I feel your aura, and I can actually hear you breathing and blinking over there," Hollodash answered, even gesturing to the princess from her own office.
Twilight shuddered.
.........................
"Creepy, I know...I can see you in your aura form and I know the confusion you feel right now - probably the perk of being a pony-hologram. Don't worry, I don't mean any harm...I am here to help you...friend. I'll do everything in my power to make sure you are OK. Prepare your magic, and get ready to learn about the Resturant's complex, scary, and not exciting backstory...though, I'm sure you already know it!"
Twilight nodded, showing her magic by lighting her horn slightly. She then thought:
I know that it wasn't my friends' fault thst all this is happening - but they must know to stop terrorizing Ponyville by now - though, I might be the one to have to teach this lesson!
"Good", Holodash answered. "You'll need you physical and mental strength to help out in this battle! Get ready for the time of your life, Princess Twilight Sparkle...the NIGHTMARE is only just beginning...."
Twilight stretched, waking up any unused muscles she had, she then said;
"The spirits of my friends and the other robots have been haunting Equestria for way too long! It's finally time to FACE this nightmare!"
