Author's Note

So this is my first horror fic. Not a best start, but I wanted to give an idea on this threat.

And I'm sorry for the onslaught of exposition, this was mainly for my readers who don't know what has happened in this series. This doesn't happen for every fic of this series, but this is just giving a quick recap of events prior.

Night Of Terror

The night was young, and the stars were out. The sky was dark blue, and the moon glowed. Throughout the town, there wasn't a sound to be heard. The streets were quiet, the lights were shining towards the ground, and all of the towns folk were asleep. But there was one thing they were excited for even in the darkness of the night. Halloween was just around the corner, and they were excited to participate in Halloween festivities. Partying, trick or treating, even pranking a few people, it was all just awaiting for them. They all knew it would come for tomorrow, and it would await for them...

As for CHS on the other hand, they hadn't been planning on a Halloween party. Everyone had plans of their own, and Principal Celestia and Vice Principal Luna had other plans for the holiday, so a Halloween party couldn't be run. However, there was some slight good news. You see a couple of weeks ago, Sunset and her friends made new friends. But these weren't like their other friends, these were friends from another world. These were metallic beings that could think and feel and change their shapes into vehicles, animals, and even devices that were on Earth. They were called the Autobots, and they came to Earth to chase their enemies identified as the Decepticons. The Decepticons were ruthless and brutal, wanting to conquer and destroy their Autobot enemies. But when Sunset and her friends were roped into the situation, they became trusted allies with the Autobots as they fought against the malevolent Decepticons.

They were defeated, but they came back once again to try and take over once more. But with the help of their new friends, the students of Crystal Prep, they were defeated once again and departed from Earth. With the Decepticons gone, the Autobots could continue to adapt to their lives on Earth to make for a better future for all of the life that existed on Earth. But they stayed on their guard, should their enemy return to cause some more chaos and destruction.

Canterlot's new Autobot friends, during their time had helped repaired Canterlot High School from their last battle from the Decepticons, so now everything inside the facility was up and running, and they hooked up a new security system to it should someone break in during the middle of the night. As an extra addition, they now had security guards roaming around the school keeping an eye out for any signs of danger that would come back. However on this night, only one security guard was taking up the night shift.

Dressed in blue, in white skin, and holding a flashlight, he continued to walk through the hallways shining his light around, searching for anything suspicious. The light went through some of the display glasses revealing a few trophies and pictures, and it moved its way to the left shining upon some lockers with a few posters attached to them.

His eyes darted back and forth, just scouring the halls, keeping an eye out for anything that looked the least bit suspicious.

Nothing.

He kept on walking and so far nothing else had been seen. With nothing else to do, he walked back to the security office and took a seat at his desk, with only one light shining, and a fan on. He sat down in his rolling chair and typed onto his computer which displayed all of the security cameras. There were three computers set up, all of them with a camera in different parts of the school. Currently the ones he was looking at were set up in a hallway, the main entrance to the school, and the auditorium. And each one of the cameras kept spinning back and forth, constantly surveying the areas they were set up to monitor.

He breathed in and out for a moment and opened up a small white foam container and opened up the contents. The only contents seen inside was a small sandwich. He pulled it out with his sweating hands, and began eating. His other hand that was free hit the keyboard, as he continued to swap in between different cameras inside the school. Nothing really stood out for him. Not a suspicious object or out of place thing in sight.

He continued to focus on eating his sandwich and didn't look back up on the cameras. But something appeared on there that stood out from everything else. In one of the hallways, standing still, was a figure covered in shadow, with some bits of purple light. The figure looked blocky, and more rectangular with its shape, but with a few curves here and there. The camera made some static and the figure was no longer standing in the hallway, but was down the hallway, near another set of lockers, just out of the camera to see.

The guard heard the static on the camera and he immediately put down his sandwich to get a closer look. He hit a few keys on the old keyboard and the static was no longer showing. But what he saw was nothing. There wasn't anything on the camera. His eyes changed over to the second computer and what he saw gave him chills down his spine. There he saw the rectangular figure standing in the front entrance of the school, just... standing. He wasn't moving, he wasn't doing anything, he just stood there.

Curious, the guard moved closer towards the computer screen to get a better look, but that didn't help. So he hit a few keys and made the camera zoom in on the figure some more. There he could see some features stood out. For one, he could tell it was probably a Transformer. It looked as if it was one of them, but what would a Transformer being doing here in the middle of the night?

He was suddenly sent a shock as the camera went black with static, but the vision was suddenly restored but was met with a horrifying sight. The shadowy figure's face was right up close to the camera lenses, and there were features that stood out. The eyes were completely purple, with not retinas showing in the middle, and its mouth was gaping open with a nasty purple glow in it. This thing looked like wanted to kill or eat him. Either one wasn't good.

He almost fell back in his chair and rubbed his eyes. When he opened them, the figure was no longer there. Curious to find out, he stepped out of his chair, and opened the door to look out in the hallways, but the monstrosity wasn't there. He walked back inside and locked the door, and barricaded it, out of concern for his safety. He was about to dial in the phone, but he looked up and saw the light in the ceiling sizzling with electricity. The light got brighter, and brighter, until it just made a spark and the light was not there anymore. The only bits of light were from a few toys and the computers on his desk.

Unsure of what to do, he held his flashlight in his hand, and a taser in the other. Sweat ran down his forehead, and his hands were shaking. He hoped that thing wasn't the cause of the problems.

He listened closely for noises, and he also heard the sound of his own breath as he was trying to keep himself calm. He stopped when he heard an odd clanking noise, followed by a ghostly moan. It sounded like whoever was making that noise was in dire pain and he needed help. But before he could react, he was met with the sound of a part of the top of the ceiling hitting the ground, making a metal clank noise. Followed by the sound of someone jumping down.

He tried shining the light, but the flashlight immediately died, providing no amount of light. He looked around for the source but nothing was seen.

His eyes tried seeing in the dark for the source, but still nothing. But one amount of light stood out. Two purple lights that were right in front of the desk that he was across. He stifled a shriek and tried to keep himself calm. But the lights on the computers went black, making the entire room black.

He shivered, and quivered, and was quaking in fear. The last thing he remembered, was the sound of an ear-piercing shriek of what sounded like either a demon or a monster, and the look of a monstrous figure right up in his face, and then suddenly... everything went black.
