The girls had died from an explosion and had their souls possess animatronics in the Canterlot Funtime Castle. Now they must come together once more before they turn against one another.

An explosion occurred at an indoor amusement park; the girls from Canterlot High School were caught in it. Their souls possessed the recently built animatronics of the building. The pony animatronics were under the care of Cadence. However, the ponied-up human animatronics were being controlled by the wrathful withered Celestia. It was up to the pony animatronics to save the rest of their friends and let them remember who they were before it's too late. But they were all unaware of an unknown evil that lurks within the building.

Prologue: The Murder

It was another great day at Canterlot High School (CHS) for everyone, except Sunset Shimmer. The girls were having a great time at the cafe; they were laughing with no care in the world. But Sunset could not stop thinking about how she was going to be able to pay for the rent of her home. I guess that was a small price to pay when it comes to moving from another world. Sunset finally decided to bring up her issue. She talked about her problem to the rest of her friends; unfortunately, none of them could come up with a solution to Sunset's predicament.

Luckily, Pinkie Pie had an idea. She pulled out a newspaper and showed it to Sunset. There was a job available for a night guard at an underground facility. The news article also mentioned a new indoor amusement park that just opened up. The grand opening for the Canterlot Funtime Castle was happening this weekend. But it was on the same day that Sunset was going to take the night guard job. Luckily, both the opening of the amusement park and the job were at the same location.

So, Sunset could spend a few hours with her friends at the attraction, while she would spend the rest of the evening at the job. It was a well thought plan.

The girls arrived at the attraction later that night. The building reminded Sunset of the Canterlot Castle back in Equestria. In fact, it did look a lot like the Canterlot Castle.

They went in the building, and their eyes gazed upon the entire new indoor amusement park. There were arcades, rides, prizes, and a stadium. The girls started to split up and went to do things they love to enjoy here.

Pinkie Pie enjoyed her time at the ball pit. Applejack and Rainbow Dash were on a one-on-one battle at laser tag. Fluttershy was given a shot on the grappling hook arcade. Rarity was doing everything she could to get enough tickets to win some fabulous jewelry from the prize store. The Crusader Movie Club, CMC, was also there for the 4D movie experience. Spike was using his old puppy eye dog tricks to get more food from strangers.

Sunset and Twilight, however, were at the stadium because they were interested in the animatronics that were on display. In fact, they were designed as Alicorns, and they both looked very familiar.

The big white animatronic with a pink flowing mane looked a lot like a younger version of Celestia. The small blue animatronic with the short mane also looked a lot like a younger version of Luna. The only difference was that Celestia was holding a microphone while Luna was playing an electric guitar with dark designs. They were both wearing purple bow-ties.

The resemblance of the animatronics hit Sunset pretty hard this time. The thought about leaving her mentor, Celestia, without a word made her feel devastated.

She put that thought away when she and Twilight caught familiar voices behind them. It was none other than the hosts of the attraction themselves. Principal Celestia and Vice-Principal Luna. They were surprised to see them. Who knew that their principals would run a place like this.

The rest of the girls caught up with them, and they were surprised to see the principals as well. The principals were so glad that the girls came for the grand opening. They wanted to show them someone else who came.

The principals and the girls arrived at the prize corner where there was a giant purple box. When the box opened, something popped out and scared the girls. It was a pink alicorn with rosey cheeks, purple tears, and a black suit with white buttons and white stripes. It had a beautiful mane design along with a blue bow that formed the mane into a long ponytail. That made Sunset realize that the animatronic looked just like Cadence from the Crystal Empire.

Then the figure coming out from the prize corner was Principal Cadence from Crystal Prep. She stated that the girls from Crystal Prep, who participated in the Friendship Games, were also here too. The girls were even more surprised as to why all the principals from both schools would be hosting this indoor amusement park. That might be why they got in touch with one another.

The night was fun, but it wouldn't last. It was almost time for Sunset to head towards the job. She waved goodbye to her friends as she left from the front door.

The girls were about to leave as well until another familiar voice shouted out to them. One that Twilight recognized. It was her big brother, Shining Armor. It was no surprise to her since she knew her brother worked along with Cadence. What surprised her was that he was in a desperate state. Cadence was with him as well. They said that Spike ran off somewhere and got lost. They need the girls’ help.

They searched all over the building until Twilight caught sight of Spike in one of the dark hallways. Spike ran towards Twilight as she embraced him in a big hug. She was worried sick if something bad happened to him. Everyone caught up as they asked him why he ran off like that. Spike said that he spotted a stranger who was sneaking around the building and causing vandalism.

Just as soon as Twilight put Spike down on the floor, she and the others spotted the mysterious figure standing at the end of the hallway. He ran away as fast as he could, but they all started to chase after him.

They all ended up in a dead end surrounded by pipes with leaking gas. They all turned around to see the figure blocking their path and shooting a powerful beam that hit the pipes and an explosion occurred. They were all caught in the fire, and their dying breaths and screams blurted out as the flames burned them until they died.

Sunset arrived at a conveniently placed elevator right out in the open. As soon as she got in, she felt the ground tremble and heard a huge explosion. She turned around to see a huge bundle of flames coming from a corner of the building. As she started to run back to see what was going on, something hit her in the back of the head. She dropped to the floor with a concussion. She was dragged into the elevator as a metal hand grabbed her ankle and pulled her in. Once she was inside, the doors closed, and the elevator went down.

Throughout the ashes of the fire, something was glowing in the darkness. It wasn't the moonlight. It wasn't the broken flickering lights. It was souls. Several living souls. They were roaming around the entire hallway. And yet, they couldn’t get out of the building. Not anymore.

Author's Note

Everyone reading this, don't panic. They are not dead. They will be coming back. But I will not spoil how. And I am afraid to say that we won't be able to see what happens to Sunset any time soon. So you best be patient for what is happening next because I am just getting started throughout this series.

Chapter 1: Reconstruction

It has been a week since the reconstruction was completed from the explosion. The wreckage from the corner looked just like it did before the incident occurred. Although, the company would like to make a few changes to the attraction. Not the building, but the animatronics. The alicorns had to be put away. But by surprise, the company was not shutting down this attraction. They thought of a new kind of design that would definitely blow everyone’s mind.

The new models were ready. They were designed as humans but with some of the remaining pony features, such as the tails, ears, wings, and horns. Three of them were put on display for the stadium, while another one was put into the reconstructed corner, which was called Party Cove.

Of course, the rest of the attractions in the indoor amusement park were still there since the explosion didn't had any effect on them. So the place was like it was before, except it had new animatronics and an extra room.

Celestia and Luna felt devastated by the explosion that occurred at their building last week. Of course, they felt that getting rid of the old animatronics was a little sad, but that wasn't compared to the explosion. The building was also installed with a security office as a new feature to the building. The sisters decided they needed some answers. The best way would be volunteering on the night shift so they could capture the culprit tonight.

It was 11:30 in the evening and there was no movement in sight of the cameras. Celestia and Luna were staying in the night guard office for the night. There was no chance that anyone would try to wander into the building this late at night. So what was the point of coming here? That train of thought was gone when the clock finally stroke midnight.

The animatronics stood frozen in place. Half of the souls managed to pop out in the darkness. They roamed around until they were guided to the lifeless robots. With a flash of light, they entered into the metal bodies. The robot heads lifted as the lights flashed out of their eyes. Once the light show was over, they dropped their heads immediately. Unfortunately, the one in the middle holding the microphone lifted its head again and open its eyes slowly.

Twilight opened her eyes exhaustedly, trying to remember what happened. The only memory she could muster was the explosion. She looked around only to find out she was standing in the stadium and holding a microphone. Of course she was the singer of the Rainbooms, but this was ridiculous. She was also wearing a black bow tie and a small black top hat. Not to mention she actually realized she had her wings, tail, ears, and even a horn. She was always afraid of having a horn when she was in Midnight Sparkle's form, but this one looked harmless.

She also realized that two of her friends were standing on both sides of her. Rainbow Dash was standing to her right holding the same kind of guitar she played. She also had her wings and a red bow tie. Fluttershy was on her left with her wings as well, except she had a necklace with a butterfly around her neck instead. Not to mention she was holding a tambourine.

As soon as Rainbow and Fluttershy woke up, Twilight sighed in relief as she realized she wasn't alone here. But then the relief slipped away as she covered her pony ears from the screams that Rainbow and Fluttershy made when they looked over themselves. Twilight covered their mouths with her wings to keep them quiet. They both took a deep breath to calm down. But then they all questioned why they were animatronics.

Right at Party Cove, Pinkie Pie woke up on her bleacher and looked herself over. She looked just like herself except she had pony ears, a tail, a hook, and an eyepatch. She almost looked a lot like a pirate. She heard a commotion coming from down the hall.

Running towards the noise, she found her friends at the big stadium. She ran towards them for a big group hug. Of course, Rainbow admitted that her hug was getting too tight.

So, Pinkie let go but then her cheerful expression turned into a terrified one as she realized she's an animatronic as well. She started bouncing off the walls "literally" while she was screaming and panicking in terror. Thankfully, Rainbow managed to catch her by her big fluffy tail.

While Pinkie was caught, Twilight caught sight of a security camera that was activated, realizing that someone else is in this building. She caught the rest of the girls’ attention and stated that they should split up and see if there was anyone else in this building. The others agreed as they began their search.

Celestia and Luna woke up from the nap and saw movement on the cams. When they started to get a closer glimpse, something started to stalk behind them.

It was a shadowy figure, which formed black tentacles holding tiny discs. When it got closer, it injected the discs into the back of the sisters' heads. As soon it was done, it disappeared without a trace.

Suddenly, a red light glowed from the discs when they activated. The sisters woke up as their pupils began to glow red. Their minds became twisted and possessed. They have a lot of murdering to do tonight!

Author's Note

(What? You expected to be an apron that says let's eat? Cause that would be stupid and won't sound like her at all.)(It's a tambourine instead of a cupcake with eyes.)(Hey. At least I didn't say it was robotic angel bunny because I know how much everyone hates that rabbit.)
(There are no curtains on Pinkie's stadium at Party Cove in case you are wondering.)
(P.S. You will find out about the shadow figure later on in the series.)

Chapter 2: Springlocked

Twilight wandered through the dark hallway. It was the one that led towards the security office. As soon as she entered the room, no one was there, although the camera system was still on. She took a closer look on the system; unaware of what was stalking behind her.

She turned around to see an axe hit her left eye. She dropped to the reflective floor with her glasses torn off as she witnessed the horror of the scar on her metal face along with a broken horn. She felt more axes damaging her wings, hair, clothing, and metal body parts. She fell limply with her eyes shut along while electric sparks burst from her broken body.

The possessed sisters grinned wickedly as they looked down at the broken animatronic. One down, three to go.

Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, and Pinkie Pie met up in the same room with no luck finding anyone in the building. Suddenly they heard the sounds of screams coming from Twilight from the dark hallway. They ran towards the noise as fast as they could. When they arrived at the room, they were shocked at the sight before them.

Twilight laid there motionless and broken on the floor. Pinkie fell to her knees with oil tears in her eyes. Fluttershy was already sobbing with sadness. Rainbow, on the other hand, felt something else. Rage!

Rainbow dashed out of the room, looking for the ones who wrecked Twilight. That was when she spotted two figures walking through the hallway holding axes. She realized that they were responsible for murdering Twilight. Her instincts kicked in as she started to fly straight towards them with her wings and then knocked them to the ground. She was about to realize who they were, until they both pulled out rifles and started shooting at her. She lost an arm, a wing, and half of her face. The only visible vision she had left were the red lights from the inside of her head covered with rainbow wires. But those light started to fade out as she stumbled to the floor motionless.

The sisters were at the halfway mark of taking out these robots. They heard the footsteps of Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie heading their way. They hid behind the walls until they got closer. When the time was right, they struck. The sisters shot the rifles right at the animatronics until they both tumbled down.

Pinkie and Fluttershy were struggling to get up, but the sisters managed to go for the kill. Celestia used the ax to break Fluttershy's mouth and hands to prevent her from getting up or screaming for help. Luna kept wrecking Pinkie until she was a walking endoskeleton wearing clothing. All the robots were down.

They thought they had won, but then something began to glow on all four of the animatronics. The souls started to spread light out and contacted the rest of the remaining souls of the building. They were surrounding the sisters. The sisters ran as fast they could away from the souls and ran to find someplace to hide. That was when they encountered the animatronic suits that were the first to be in the stadium. The alicorn animatronics.

They started to put on the costumes and tried to blend as if they were one of them. They already knew that the costumes were designed to be put on. What they didn't know was that someone implanted spring locks inside the suits that were designed for murder. At the drop of a hat, the spring locks activated. They created a variety of snapping noises that were torturing the sisters. They dropped to the floor, screaming with pain and agony. Their own bodies began to tear apart as blood splattered out all over the floor. They both dropped dead in a sitting position against the wall.

The building was quiet and abandoned again that night. The souls were still trapped in the motionless animatronics. The same goes with the sisters who were trapped in the alicorn animatronics. That was when a shadow figure loomed around the metal corpses. White eyes flashed out of the darkness as a loud whisper said, "Everything is going according to plan."

Author's Note

I should have mentioned this in my first chapter. I will be making an animation of this series on my YouTube Channel using SFM. That is why I need someone who is reading this series to make models and the map. It's not just for me. It's for anyone who is interested in making animations for a mixture of both fandoms. I need all of your help and support if I am going to make possible. Cause this, my friends, is the next best thing.

Chapter 4: Unexpected Encounters

Shining Armor woke up from his deep slumber. He looked around the room and realized that he was in the stadium. He groaned as he rubbed his face with his..."Hooves?", came the thought in Shining Armor's mind. He looked himself over and realized he was an animatronic unicorn. He was hyperventilating because of what he had become. "Relax Shining," he thought to himself. "You’re not dead. Well, kinda. I don't know what could be worse then ending up as an animatronic pony.”

He suddenly jinxed himself when he saw two animatronic mares standing next to him on the stage. He was about to scream and panic, but he recognized who they were. The orange earth pony mare to his right was Applejack. There was no denying the hat. And to his left was a white unicorn mare who was Rarity. The big purple mane gave it away. He wondered if they were alive too.

He woke them up by tapping them. After a few seconds, they were both awake. As they turned their faces at Shining Armor and each other, there eyes widened as they screamed in terror. Shining Armor was covering his own ears with his hooves. He got them to stop screaming as he shouted, "Shut Up!" He looked at both of them, and he started to see their mouths glowing when they were closed. He realized that he was doing this because he's a unicorn. He was able to use magic. He immediately let go as he let them catch their breath.

Applejack was the first to speak up. "Where the hay are we?" she asked, feeling more concerned about what has become of them.

Rarity spoke in a stuttering voice as if she were malfunctioning. "Applejack? Shining Armor?" she asked. "W-W-Why are we i-i-inside these animatronic p-p-pony suits?"

Shining looked down as he took a deep breath. "I don't know," he responded. "My memory is blurry, and all I remember is being in the middle of the explosion." But as they tried calm down throughout all this, they heard another scream in panic. It was coming from Party Cove. They ran to the room as fast as they could.

They arrived in the room where they encountered another animatronic whom they didn't recognize. He was freaking out by running around in circles in his stadium. Shining shouted "Hey!" at him as the other animatronic stopped in mid-air. He looked over at them with confusion as he tried to settle down. They all approached him slowly as Shining asked him, "Were you a human before?"

The animatronic caught his breath as he responded, "I was, but now I don't know what has happened to..." He was cut off as he looked over at them. "Wait a darn minute," he said. "I recognize all of you. You were the group that wandered into this part of the building when it exploded."

They all looked down with disappointment at the mention of the explosion. "Uh yeah," Applejack responded. "That would be us. But who the hay are you?"

The animatronic was about to slap his own face until he stopped because he was about to use his own hook. He was shocked at his own reaction, and he immediately switched to his other...hoof. "Shoot!" he shouted. "I didn't introduced myself. The name is Cheese. Cheese Sandwich. It's a pleasure to meet you all."

"Why the pleasure is ours," Rarity said. "But how did you end up like us? You weren't with us when the explosion happened." The others nodded their heads in reply.

"Oh I was," Cheese replied. "Well, sort of. Let me explain how it happened." Cheese Sandwich pulled out a projector, somehow, and it showed the flashback. "I was there when it all happened," Cheese replied as the projection showed everything he was talking about.

"I took the job as an entertainer. I was handling all the fun activities and birthday parties for all the little boys and girls. Everything was going swell until I heard and saw the smoke blast out of the hallway. I did see all of you enter there, so I wanted to make sure you were okay. I ran toward the smoke to find all of you. It appears I was wrong to think you were alive. As I started to run back for help, some stranger blocked my way and blasted me with some sort of laser right at my chest. I dropped down to the floor, bleeding, as the rest of the flames burned me to the ground. Then I died.” He immediately threw away the projector as he saw the others gasp with horror.

They have totally forgotten how painful their death was as if it didn't happen. As they were about to bring up another topic, they heard another scream of terror. It was coming from the balloons and ball pit area where the younger kids hang out. They all ran toward it as fast as they could.

When they arrived at the area of the building, they were shocked to see a different kind of animatronic, a baby dragon holding balloons. And yet, his scale colors looked familiar. That was when they realized it was Spike. He was running around in circles and waving his arms in a panic state. And when he accidentally breathed out fire, he started to freak out even more than before.

Rarity managed to stop him by levitating him with her magic. She stepped towards Spike, hoping she could get him to reply. "Spikey-Wikey," Rarity replied. "Is that you?"

Spike needed a moment to catch his breath. He looked down to see most of his friends below him. He immediately calmed down when he realized he wasn't alone here. He was placed down on the floor. "Rarity? What happened to you? What happened to me? And who is that guy?" he asked while he was pointing to Cheese Sandwich.

Cheese introduced himself as he tried to put his hook on a wall. It turns out his hook got caught on a lever instead. It activated a ride and pulled him on it. He was spinning around and around until he swang in mid-air, and then he came crashing through other attractions along with a bunch of random noises you won't hear everyday. He crashed down right in front of the rest of the animatronics in a dismantled state. "I'm okay," he responded. But he knew for a fact that he wasn't okay.

They all gasped at the display that Cheese Sandwich was in right now. He looked like a walking endoskeleton with a shirt. His back hooves were at the right spot. The same goes for his right front hoof. But his tail became his head, his hook became his tail, and now his head with a long neck became his left fore arm. An extra endoskeleton was conveniently attached to his neck before he came crashing down to the floor. However, his yellow shirt with the black bow-tie is still covering his upper body. But one thing was for sure: they had enough freaking out for one day.

They were standing still when they heard a strange shuffling noise coming from the prize corner. They walked past the selves and stepped in front of the purple box, which turned out to be moving. Shining realized that this had to be the animatronic that looked like Cadence. They all suddenly jumped back in surprise when they saw Cadence burst out of the box.

Cadence looked down with her magenta eyes and gasped in terror. "Who and what are you?" she stammered as she now looked herself over. "And what has happened to me?"

Shining Armor was the first to step forward. "Cadence” he said “Relax. It's me.”

Cadence looked back at him as she realized who he was. "Shining Armor?" she asked as the others nodded in response. She looked at all of them and then back to herself. "Hooves?” she asked. “Am I in my animatronic suit? What happened to all of us?"

They all looked at each other as Shining replied, "We have a lot to talk about."

Meanwhile in the parts and services room, Withered Celestia and Withered Luna were sitting in the dark corner of the room, offline, with their dead corpses visible. Suddenly, a spark managed to burst out of Celestia's head as she started to move. Her mechanical eye and silver eye darted across the room. She could barely muster a word when she woke up. Then her mechanical flesh mouth sputtered out a word that was barely above a whisper. "Kill."

Author's Note

Celestia and Luna are designed as Springtrap. That is something you can picture in your head. But they are classified as Withered animatronics. Although their faces aren't as ugly as the original Springtrap. There faces are still pretty like their normal versions were. The ugly part of it is that they don't have any skin or hair.

Chapter 5: Night Guards

Cadence couldn't believe what she just heard after Shining was done explaining. She was surprised to realize they were still alive. The only question was how and who kept them alive. Their souls couldn't simply enter the suits on their own. So if it wasn't Cadence who guided the souls to the suits, which was their first thought, then who was it?

Their thoughts were cut off when they heard the front door of the building open. Cadence hid back in her box. The rest of them hid behind the shelves. They looked up, and they saw a man walking through the hallway wearing a night guard uniform. They had no idea how to handle this situation. What was this man doing here at night?

Dr. Whooves entered into the security office. The room looked a lot like a throne room. He was sitting on a fancy chair with a desk. The left and right side of the room had giant glass frames with colored lights shining through them. There were vents under each one of the windows that led to every room of the building. They were big enough for kids and adults to crawl through, and they were all labeled on which room the vents led to. The big hallway in front of him led to the giant room with the stadium and the entrance/exit.

Dr. Whooves took the monitor and looked over the screen. Each room had a security camera that looked all over the entire room. Nothing was moving in the darkness so far. That was when he saw the front door open, and a teenage girl entered the building. He recognized the girl. It was Derpy. That wasn't the only thing he saw on the monitor. It showed some robotic figures heading her way. Dr. Whooves was now in a panic state. He grabbed his flashlight, retrieved his tommy gun, and charged out of the hallway.

When he came into the big room, he stopped instantly. He watched Derpy and the animatronics have a conversation. He stood there feeling confused. As soon as they were done talking, Derpy waved at him as a sign of greeting.

"Hi Doc," Derpy responded. "These robo ponies were just telling me how they became animatronics."

Dr. Whooves waved back feeling ashamed of how he thought they were murderous robots. He took a moment to speak as he responded, "Yes Derpy, I already know. I was informed of what is going on here."

They all stopped right there, in silence, until they shouted, "WHAT!!!???" They couldn't believe what they just heard.

"Who managed to tell ya that?" asked Applejack.

Dr. Whooves really should have taken back what he had just said. He stood in place as he thought to himself. "What am I going to do? I can't tell them the truth. It could change history or time itself. Or worse, some sort of paradox. I am not experienced to handle this sort of thing yet. What am I going to..."

"Look what I found!" Derpy shouted from a far corner of the room.

They all went up to her in front of a withered door that said, "Parts and Services. Employees Only." They peeked through the room and gasped in horror because of what they saw. It was the rest of their friends except that they were all broken down. They didn't know if the rest of their friends were still alive. They closed the door and walked away from the room as far as they could. They couldn't believe their eyes. Their friends couldn't be gone.

Cadence poked out of her box. She looked around to see where everybody had wandered off. She was behaving like a coward. Because of how embarrassed she was feeling, her rosy cheeks started to blush. She looked over to her left and saw the rest of them at the far corner of the building looking inside a dark room. Then she looked over to her right and gasped in horror. The white withered alicorn animatronic sat there with her head tilted. Cadence came out of her box and trotted towards the alicorn. When she was about to touch it, the eyes opened in surprise, and Cadence jumped by surprise, screaming, and then landed on her back.

The alicorn got up and stood over Cadence. She spoke in a very sinister and scary voice. "I am coming for you, Cadence,” responded the animatronic. “You and all of your friends are the next ones to die."

"Cadence!" Shining Armor shouted as he and the others ran towards her. "Are you okay?" He gave Cadence a moment to catch her breath.

Cadence looked back at where the alicorn was standing, but it was gone. Her fears started to rise as she realized it was Celestia. But it looked like Celestia had been corrupted. She sighed as she responded, "Yeah. I'm fine."

Withered Celestia appeared back into the parts and services room after everyone had left. She stood before the rest of the withered animatronics as she used her magic to create some sort of spell. With that, the light beaming from her horn flashed on each one of them. The souls were visible, but she was able to corrupt them as well, including erasing the memories. Once the task was done, she placed the souls back into the animatronics.

"Get Up!" was all she could muster. And with that, they all opened their eyes and stood up. Their forms had changed. Their personalities had changed. Even their own true selves had changed. "Hear me, my minions!" Celestia shouted as she looked over all of them. "We have work to do."

Author's Note

Get a good description on all the details of the office. Try to figure out how many colorful glass frames are for each vent for each room. Imagine what rooms each vent leads to. Leave thoughts and ideas on the comments down below and I will put them in the story.

Chapter 6: Reawakening

All of the animatronics were doing several activities in the castle today. Spike was using his claws to play the arcades in the arcade room. Derpy was given a chance to ride on the go-karts. Cheese Sandwich was enjoying his 4D movie experience. Applejack and Rarity were on a one-on-one round of laser tag. Dr. Whooves was on the monitor and keeping an eye out for anything suspicious.

Shining Armor was just standing in the stadium, wondering what to do. He suddenly looked up to the ceiling when he heard crying coming from the...second floor? He'd forgotten that this "Funtime Castle" had stairs that led to the rooftop of the building. There was a sign above the entrance of the staircase that said, "Adults Only." He started to climb up the stairs to the top of the roof.

He arrived on the second floor and realized that he was on the balcony. He looked around to see tables, chairs, and a bar on the open roof. There were gates surrounding the area to keep anyone from falling off the building. The only thing that was covering the entire room was the turret for the castle. "This must be where everyone goes for romantic dates," Shining Armor thought to himself.

He heard the crying sounds again. He turned towards the sounds, and they were coming from...Cadence? The confident Principal and most lovely woman Shining ever knew was crying. He walked towards her, hoping he could do something to help her. "Cadence, are you feeling alright?" he asked, hoping he wasn't interrupting anything.

Cadence looked up at him with worried eyes. "Oh Shining," she said. "I'm scared. I never experienced something like this before. Everyone will be wondering what happened to us. We are all trapped here as robots. And Twilight, along with some of her friends are...they're..." She was cut off and then continued sobbing.

Shining Armor can't handle this anymore. He wrapped his hooves around her and pulled her in an embrace. Cadence continued sobbing while she was still hugging. "Shh," Shining whispered. "It's okay. We're going to make it through this. I swear we will find a way to get out."

Cadence looked up at him as her last tear drop fell. "Shining," Cadence finally spoke up. "I am so glad to have someone like you to keep me company."

"What can I say?" Shining asked. "I am your friend after all and I..." He was cut off when Cadence put a hoof on his lips. He looked down at her.

Cadence suddenly replied in a gentle note, "I think we can be more than friends."

Shining finally had his rosy cheeks blushed. "Are you saying...?" he asked, but then paused as Cadence nodded her head in agreement.

They both looked at each other with signs of hope. And with that, they both sealed the declaration with a kiss. The kiss was passionate and graceful as it lasted for a little longer. When they departed, Cadence leaned against Shining's shoulder as Shining Armor wrapped his hoof around her to pull her in closer. They both watched the full moon shining throughout the beautiful night sky. They closed their eyes as they lay their heads together, wishing that they could stay like this forever.

Dr. Whooves was getting bored watching over the monitors until something caught his eye. Four things to be precise. They were heading this way, and they didn't look friendly. Worse than that, they looked deadly. He sounded the alarm to rally up the others. They all came running through the vents as fast they could.

Shining and Cadence heard the alarm from the rooftop as their moment of silence was ruined. "We need to get down there quickly. Something bad must be happening."

Cadence stopped him from reaching the stairs. "There is a quicker way get down there you know," she said.

Shining looked confused when he asked, "There is?"

Cadence was pointing to her horn as she was giving the hint.

Shining finally realized what Cadence was saying. "Oh yeah,” he said. “We have horns. We can teleport." With a spark of magic, they disappeared into thin air.

They arrived in the office. They couldn't believe it actually worked. When everyone was gathered, they all turned to Dr. Whooves and Derpy who looked terrified. “What’s going on here?” Shining asked, feeling concerned already.

Dr. Whooves and Derpy were pointing to the opposite end of the hallway as all of the animatronics turned around. They were shocked and horrified of who was standing in front of them.

It was Twilight. But there was something off about her. Her skin color looked darker than lavender. Her clothing was all torn with rips filled with a few oils leaks, colorful wires, and electrical sparks. The metal joints of her elbows and knees were visible. Her long ponytail from the back of her head and the actual tail behind her were completely wrecked and frizzled like they were torn off, but they were still visible. Her robotic wings were damaged and there were visible metal parts in the middle that constructed her wings. As for her horn, it was completely broken in half with sparks spouting out. Lastly, her face resembled a scar that showed metal cutting through her left violet eye, not to mention her glasses were completely gone.

Seeing Twilight in such a state, they all stood in terror and sadness. Shining was brave enough to step forward as he asked in a worried tone, "Twilight? Is that you?"

Twilight just laughed to herself as she responded, "The Twilight you all know and loved is no more!" They all gasped in horror as they heard what that evil girl said. Suddenly, she pulled out two swords from her back like it was nothing. "There is a new bad girl in town!" she shouted out to them. "And that new girl is Brutalight Sparcake!"

Spike just giggled when he heard the last name like someone was trying to make Brutalight look stupid. But then he stopped laughing and stepped in front of the others. "Don't even bother trying to fight against us!” he shouted. “There are six of us and only one of you."

Brutalight just laughed harder as she responded in a low voice, "Count again." And just like that, the other three withered animatronics appeared behind her.

Rainbow Dash appeared from Brutalight’s right. The metal joints from her elbows and knees were visible like Brutalight’s along with the ragged clothing and messy hair and tail. The major difference was her appearance. Her left arm was completely torn off along with her left wing. Her face was torn off and only her bottom jaw and red glowing eyes at the back of her head were visible. Rainbow wires spread out from her broken face, left wing, and left arm. Metal ear pieces replaced her normal ones. Her right wing was completely covered in metal. Lastly, her right forearm was a gun and at its tip were metal claws that represent fingers.

Fluttershy appeared from the right side of Brutalight. Her visible metal joints, torn clothing, and messed up hair and tail was just like the other girls. The only differences were her hands. They were completely chopped off with a variety of wires sprouting out. Her hair was red and her tail was white. Her skin was more pale than yellow. Her left eye was red instead of blue, along with a red mark surrounding it. She had a red and white striped top hat instead of a beret. The hat looked similar to the cat in the hat's. Her wings were broken with wires sticking out as feathers. Lastly, her bottom jaw was broken and dangling off just like a mace. It was hard to move her mouth while she talked, but she could move the joints in her face to show some expressions.

Pinkie Pie pulled out a grappling hook and shot it at the ceiling. It pulled her up and dangled her above the rest. Her hook was holding onto the handle as she put her free hand on her waist with a devious grin. She also had the comparable metal joints and wrecked clothing. However, her hair and tail weren’t messed up. In fact, they were both flat instead of big and puffy. Her skin color was more magenta than pink. The eyepatch on her left-eye was useful since it was hiding an actual scar. Lastly, there was an endoskeleton spine that showed from the top of her waist towards the bottom of her...uh...upper body. The bottom part of her shirt was torn off, and the metal belly was broken apart in order to reveal the spine from front and back.

The pony animatronics stood terrified of being surrounded by withered beings. "It looks like the odds are against you now," Brutalight replied. "I would like you all to meet my teammates. Rainbine, Fluttershout, and Pinkis Cupcake."

Cheese Sandwich stretched his endoskeleton neck to get a better view of the animatronics. Then he laid his eyes on Pinkis who was hanging above them with her grappling hook. Pinkis looked over all of them until she caught the sight of Cheese staring at her. Their gazes were still in motion, unable to speak as they gazed upon each other. Cheese imagined how cute she was. Pinkis imagined how handsome he was. Since they just met, love at first sight was kind of ridiculous.

It was also ridiculous that the moment was cut short when Brutalight and Shining Armor hit them in the face with their swords. Cheese shook his head trying to snap out of it. Pinkis fell from her grappling hook and stood back up in a fighting position.

"Now with that inconvenience aside," Brutalight said. "It would be a good time for all of you to surrender."

Shining just stepped forward and stomped his hoof. "We are not going to let you give up our lives that easily. This isn't like you girls. Snap out of it!"

Brutalight was already starting to lose her patience. "Fine! Then I guess we are doing this the hard way. GIRLS!!!" she shouted at the top of her lungs. The girls heard her and were ready to do whatever she was going to command. And with that, she said again in a low voice, "Kill them all." All the girls moved forward. The pony animatronics paced backwards, wondering what to do.

As the withered animatronics got closer, Cadence leapt out of the crowd and landed right in front of them and then shouted, "Enough!" Once her horn glowed, a huge shield blasted out and everyone tumbled over from the forcefield. Cadence took a moment to catch her breath then she responded, "I don't know what has happened to you or how you are still alive, but this has to stop. I can't let any of my friends get themselves killed again. Especially the ones I am close to." Everyone was confused by the last thing Cadence just said. Shining, on the other hoof, had his rosy cheeks glowing.

Brutalight just growled under her breath as she shouted, "Never! We will be back Cadence. And all of your friends will be heading straight to the scrap yard!" Her broken horn started to glow and then the whole room went blank. When everyone opened their eyes from the bright flash, the girls were gone.

Dr. Whooves immediately looked over the cameras to see where they went. He couldn't find them anywhere. Not even in the parts and services room. They were completely gone.

Celestia was waiting impatiently. She turned her head to see the girls arrive at her lair. It was a secret room in the building, but there weren't any cameras around. Nobody knew that this room even existed. "Well?” she asked in a demanding tone. “Is the task done?"

Brutalight was the first to walk up to her. She clenched her fist as she responded, "No."

Celestia growled until she shouted, "You fools!" A blast came out and hit Brutalight towards the wall. "I gave you all a simple task, and you weren't able to do it!" she shouted in an angry tone.

"We can't even get an inch closer to them," Pinkis responded. "They have an alicorn of their own."

Brutalight got up, wincing from the pain from the blast. "It was Cadence," she corrected.

Celestia cursed under her breath. "Change of plan," she responded. "I will teleport you all tomorrow night. You will be sent to different parts of the building. You will go find any of those pesky animatronics alone and wreck them. Fail me, and your fates will be sealed." After that command, the time was now 6:00 A.M. The robots started to power down into a deep slumber.

Pinkis began to have second thoughts before starting to fade. “Why am I doing this? Was I doing the right thing? Was this what I even want? Was this what Pinkie wanted?”

Author's Note

The reason why I ended the night here was because I wanted to make five nights in this story. I don't call this Five Nights at Twilight's for nothing. One more thing. The elements of Insanity characters were not my idea. All rights belong to their rightful owners. Although, their withered versions were my idea.

Chapter 7: Pinkis Cupcake

The clock struck midnight, and the second night had begun. The animatronics were free to roam around the building once again. The withered animatronics, however, were already teleported to the building to do Celestia's bidding. Pinkis Cupcake was the farthest from the group, but she wasn’t planning to take out anyone just yet. She was looking for somebody in particular.

She snuck through the building by dashing through the shadows until she came across Party Cove. She walked through the hallway, and there he was. Cheese Sandwich was just standing on his little stage while playing with his ping pong paddle. He was also rebuilt into his fixed version. The co-workers must have put him back together yesterday. It will be harder to wreck him now. But it was nothing she couldn't handle. It was Celestia's orders after all.

She quietly stalked behind him, preparing to strike with her hook, but then paused for a moment. What was she thinking? Of course she had to get the job done. But at the same time, it felt so wrong. Besides, she had a crush on him. What she didn't know was that he had a crush on her as well. So, she did what she had to do. She raised her arm up, brought it down towards him, and simply tapped his shoulder to get his attention.

Cheese jumped back when he felt something tap his shoulder. He turned around to see the timid withered girl standing behind him. "Whoa!" he gasped. "You had me scared there for a second."

Pinkis wrapped her hand and hook behind her as she said "Sorry" in a timid smile.

Cheese took a minute to catch his breath before looking her over. "Wait," he responded. "You were one of those withered girls that was here last night."

Pinkis gazed down at the floor as she realized he remembered her and who she was with.

But then Cheese put out his hoof for her to shake. "It's nice to see you again," he said.

Pinkis was confused about Cheese's reply, but she happily shook his hoof with her hand. "So, uh, what is your name again?" he asked.

"Pinkis," she answered. "Pinkis Cupcake."

Cheese looked at her and said, "That sounds kinda cute coming from you."

Pinkis blushed. "Yeah," she responded. "My looks can be deceiving."

"Not to me," he said as he got off the stadium as he shouted, "BRB!" He dashed out of the room leaving Pinkis to wait for a few seconds. Then random noises started to happen. There was banging and clanging with bike horns, cats meowing, cows mooing, bells ringing, and machines breaking. After 10 seconds, Cheese came back in his mangled version. "How do I look?" he asked, showing his endoskeleton body.

"Hmm," Pinkis said, tapping her finger on her chin. "It's missing something." She snapped her fingers when she figured it out. She dashed towards a conveniently placed chest in the corner. She pulled out a rubber chicken head and placed it over the extra endoskeleton head next to Cheese. "Now you have a companion as your second head," she said.

Cheese gasped in amazement as he squealed, "Boneless! My rubber chicken companion! I missed ya buddy!"

Pinkis giggled. "I have a companion of my own. His name is Gummy. He's an alligator squeaky toy."

Cheese chuckled to himself from the response. "That's adorable," He looked back at her since he was interested in her. "So, can you tell me about yourself?"

Pinkis looked down and responded, "I don't remember about my old life. All I remember is that I was with my friends in this place before, and we were great friends. But then...one day...they just shut me out...and...I never knew why."

Cheese took her hand with his hoof as he looked up to her and said, "I would never shut you out." Suddenly, his hook and other hoof held a guitar and strummed it.

Pinkis took a deep breath as she blurted out, "Okay, can I say something crazy?"

Cheese grabbed the guitar and whacked it on his head while saying, "I am crazy!"

I know what you are all thinking. You think they are both going to sing "Love is a yummy s'more." Well, they are. I will explain everything in my notes below this chapter. So, I might as well cut to chase then. Alright?

After that whole musical number, they were both sitting on the top balcony where Cadence and Shining Armor were sitting last night. The sky was beautiful as always, and they were both in an embrace after an amazing night.

They gazed into each other’s eyes, and Cheese was the first to speak up. "Pinkis, I just wanted to let you know...no matter what happens, I will always be there to help you out no matter what." He pulled her into a deeper embrace.

"You would do that for me?" she asked. A tear dropped from her eye as she formed a smile. "Having someone to care about me and love me for who I am..." Pinkis was cut off for a second until she finally found the answer. "...it makes me feel so...HAPPY!"

And then at that moment, a light started to shine around Pinkis as it started to lift her in mid-air. Soon after, a huge bright flash blasted out.

Cheese was forced to wear sunglasses because of the blinding light. Once the light show was over, he saw her drop to the floor right in front of him. Cheese took a fan to clear all the dust to see if Pinkis was alright. He couldn't believe his eyes of what or who he saw. "Pinkis?" Cheese replied. "Your...your...your all fixed! OMG! I am so happy for you." He saw the girl step forward.

"Actually, that's not my real name," replied the fixed animatronic girl.

Cheese looked at her as he realized that couldn't have been her name. "Oh" he responded. "So, what is your real name?"

She put a smile on her face. "It's Pinkie,” she said. “Pinkie Pie."

Cheese giggled to himself. “Okay,” he said. “That's adorable."

Pinkie took a minute to think of a response. She finally found one. "I remember everything now. I remember our lives before animatronics. I remember who my friends really are!"

Cheese couldn't hold in any longer what he was about to say. So he blurted out, "Can I say something crazy?" Pinkie nodded and Cheese finally asked, "Will you be my girlfriend?"

Pinkie grabbed him by the rosey cheeks with her hand and hook when she asked, "Can I say something even crazier?" Cheese nodded as well until Pinkie finally shouted out, "Yes!" And with that, she finally kissed him, just as Cheese started to swoon. Pinkie sat down beside him on the floor and placed his head on her lap. She brushed his puffy hair and giggled to herself. They both wished they could be together like this forever.

Celestia was watching. She gritted her teeth, realizing that one of her minions betrayed her and switched sides. She could've killed both of them right here and now. But then that would cause the rest of her minions to not trust her and switch sides as well. She was going to have to play along in this game. She might as well check how Rainbine was doing.

Author's Note

I am not planing to make this story into a musical number. But I have been planing this idea of adding this song in this story for a while now because it fits well to me for their relationship. So I declare it to be a coincidence. Although, I will need the permission from the original song writers to let me make an animation for this song on my series. All rights belong to them. As for the song, however, I can explain here what has been going on in this scene. They were singing and dancing around in Party Cove and there were silly images of chocolate and marshmallows crafting into s'mores. During the second half of the song, they were playing a lot of arcades and riding on the...well, rides. During the last lines of the chorus, their roller coaster seat happened to fling out of the rails and crash though the ceiling until they landed safely on top of the balcony. Like they always say. It's Pinkie Pie and Cheese Sandwich. Don't question it.

Chapter 8: Rainbine

Applejack and Rarity were both alone in the laser tag room. They just completed another round with Applejack winning again.

"I don't know how you do it, Applejack." Rarity spoke up. "You were able to beat me with five points while I had three.”

Applejack puts away the laser equipments. "What can I say?" she said with a smirk. "I have been practicing."

Rarity giggled to herself. “Right” she responded. "Like how you lost to Rainbow Dash when she had ten points while you had five?"

Applejack's smirk faltered when Rarity commented on her previous loss. "I thought we agreed to never speak of that again." she said sternly.

Rarity looked down and regretted of what she just said, "Uh...yes. Rainbow Dash. I can't believe she's gone."

Applejack scoffed. "She's not gone, but she did change. If that Rainbine or those other insane animatronics ever show up in front of us again, I wouldn't be surprised."

Another voice cut out in the darkness as it responded in a robotic voice, "Wouldn't you bet?!!!"

They jumped when they heard the strange voice. They looked through the darkness and they saw two red glowing eyes right in front of them. The figure stepped out of the darkness and revealed her withered-self.

It was Rainbine. She pointed out her gun right in front of them and said, "Now it's time to die!" She fired but Rarity managed to block it with a force field she used with her magic. Once Rainbine took the time to reload, Applejack ceased the opportunity and kicked her to the floor with her back hooves. They both ran out of the room.

They were about to reach the stadium until Celestia stopped them in the go-kart room. They try to turn around, but Rainbine was blocking their last exit. Celestia levitated both ponies with her magic and through them against the room. It damaged Rarity's horn which prevented her from doing anything with magic. They were both trapped.

Celestia stepped towards Rainbine as she said to her, "You must destroy them."

Rainbine nodded and stepped towards the helpless ponies before her. She aims her gun at both them and was about to fire, but then something caught her mind. Was she doing the right thing? Does she have to take vengeance for something that these ponies didn't do? She watched them both feeling helpless, waiting for help that wasn't going to come. She thought to herself for a very short moment until she realized what had to be done. She closed her red eyes as she lifted her gun again. With a single shot, she fired her gun.

Applejack and Rarity opened their eyes to see a black mark on the wall between them. Smoke coming from the wall was connected by tip of the gun. They both looked up to see the withered animatronic lifted her gun away from them as she responded "No!"

Celestia's eyes widened as she shouted, "What?"

And with that, Rainbine shot her gun at Celestia instead. As she struggled to get up, Rainbine turned back towards the other ponies and then shouted, "Get out of here as fast as you can! I'll hold her off!Both ponies nodded and ran as fast they could.

Applejack and Rarity were just reaching the stadium until they stopped dead in their tracks. Applejack was the first to stop. "We have to go back" she said.

Rarity was starting to feel concerned and worried at the same time from what Applejack just said. "I understand that." she replied. "But we have to get help if we stand a chance against-"

But before she could finish her sentence, Applejack stomped her hoof on the floor and shouted, "Even if we did get help, she's gonna die!"

Rarity knew that Applejack was right. So, she thought of a solution. "Alright" she spoke up. "You will go back and help her out, while I will head to the office and warn Dr Whooves. He will tell everyone to meet both of you at the go-karts room."

Applejack nodded in agreement. They both split up to do their tasks. Applejack ran through the hallway towards the go-kart room while Rarity took the vent that led towards the office.

Rainbine and Celestia were on a one on one shoot-out. Rainbine was firing with a lot of guns at Celestia, but Celestia managed to dodge all of those shots by flying or by teleporting with her magic. Rainbine was dodging as well as Celestia, but then she got hit with one of her magic blows.

Celestia put her front hooves on Rainbine and on her gun so she couldn't move or shoot. Rainbine was struggling to get up, but Celestia was to big to get off. "When one of my comrades betrayed me, I didn't bother to kill her." She said while her horn started to glow to make another shot. "I won't make that same mistake twice!"

But before she could destroy her, Applejack managed to leap in the air and kicked Celestia in the face. Celestia lost her grip on Rainbine and fell down. Rainbine took the opportunity of reloading and shot Celestia again.

Celestia was having enough of this. She got a grip on both Rainbine and Applejack with her magic. "Now I will destroy you all!" she shouted, holding them in front of her. She was about to tear both of them apart, but she was interrupted by a blast that hit her face. It was Rarity that made the hit with her fixed horn and along with her were the rest of their friends.

Celestia winced by the huge amount of damage she has been taking. She growled and shouted to all of them, "I am not done yet! I will have my vengeance and all of you animatronics will kneel before me!" With that, she teleported and then she was gone.

They all carried Rainbine back to the stadium due to the many injuries she took. Rarity and Applejack managed to get her to sit on one of the chairs. They both looked at her and Rarity was the first to speak up. "You helped us out. Why?"

Rainbine looked back at them. "Because I realized who my real friends are. The ones who look out for each other." After that was said, a spark of magic shot out from her. It levitated her off the chair and then into mid-air. Suddenly, a huge blast flashed through the room that everyone had to cover their eyes from the light show. Once it was over, they saw her dropped to the floor. She got up when the dust was clearing. They all gazed upon her, realizing that she was all fixed. Rainbow Dash is back!

They all jumped when they heard a clutter coming from upstairs. It was Cheese and Pinkie tumbling down in front of them. Cheese was to speak up in a dizzy tone. "YoU wOn'T BeLiEvE wHo's BacK Ya...guuuyyysssss." He fainted and Pinkie got up to see everyone staring at her.

They all turned back to Rainbow Dash. Then back to Pinkie again. Then back to Dash. Then Pinkie again. Rarity finally sputtered out, "How is this even possible?"

Pinkie suddenly looked at Rainbow who was completely fixed. Pinkie gasped in surprise and ran to her shouting, "Dashie!" She grabbed her and squeezed her in a big hug.

Rainbow was feeling like she was about to lose her lungs, even if she didn't have any. "Uh Pinkie?" Rainbow managed to blurt out. "I can feel your hook and your hugs are always super tight."

Pinkie just laughed to herself and just replied, "No, there not."

Rainbow gasped for breath as Pinkie lets go. She took a minute to figure out what she was going to say. Until she finally responded, "How are we able to magically get fixed?"

Pinkie was thinking a reason as well while tapping her chin. She finally snapped her fingers when she found the answer. "I got it!" She shouted. "When the other world Twilight was here, she mentioned we had an element that makes the magic of friendship."

"Of course" Applejack spoke up. "I represented Honesty."

"And I represented Generosity." said Rarity.

Pinkie looked over all of them and responded, "When I was with Cheese, I was filled with joy and laughter." Her eyes widened and her smile grew on her face as she knew the answer. "Laughter! That was my element. Finding my element freed me from possession." She looked back Rainbow Dash, hoping she knew the answer.

Rainbow took the hint and said, "And I was doing something that represented my element. Loyalty! That was what got us fixed and free from Celestia's possession."

Every pony gasped in horror from the name. "That was Celestia that was attacking you?" Spike asked.

Cheese got up from his unconscious. "Was that one of the hosts who were running this place?" he asked.

Cadence stepped forward and responded, "She was also a principal at CHS...and a good friend. But why is she attacking?" They were trying to find a reason why, but the clock was striking 5 to 6:00 a.m. They had to get back to their places.

Rainbow and Pinkie had no idea where they are going to stay in the building. Shining suggested they remain in the Parts and Services room because no one knows they both still exist. This sounds like a plan for both of them, so they head off to the room. The clock finally stroke 6:00 a.m. and all the animatronics were put to sleep.

Author's Note

Only three more nights to go people! But I will put an epilogue to show what happens next for the second season.

Chapter 9: Fluttershout

It was the third night, and everyone seemed to be having a good time. Rainbow was back in laser tag, and she was easily beating Applejack once again. Pinkie and Cheese were having a crazy time in the mirror maze. Rarity was trying out the dancing arcade. Derpy was trying out some of the rides in the room. Dr. Whooves was still keeping an eye on the monitors. Cadence and Shining Armor were on a date on the top balcony.

Spike, however, was feeling bored at the ball pit. Something caught his attention. He heard a distant crying through the hallway. He decided to follow it to see where it was coming from. He had nothing better to do, so he might as well.

He got closer to the distant crying sounds which led him to a dark hallway. He got closer and closer until he heard the noises stop. His spikes sent a shiver down his spine when the crying noises turned into sinister laughter. Spike was already starting to feel scared when the laughing grew louder. He realized that it was a trap. He finally heard footsteps coming from behind him. He turned around to see the wretched abomination right in front of him.

It was Fluttershout! She lured him right into her trap. Her eyes were not both red and blue anymore. Instead she had green glowing eyes as if she were possessed. What was worse was that she was about to scream!

“Clever Girl,” was all Spike could think of. But before Fluttershout could use her scream attack, Spike managed to spit out a flame of fire right in front of her. He ran as fast as he could through the vents. Fluttershout managed to get through the fire and started to chase after Spike.

Dr. Whooves looked through the monitor, hoping he could find withered Celestia. Suddenly, he heard noises coming from the vents. He spotted Spike crying out for help. He knew something wrong was going on. So he sounded the alarm, hoping someone would come over soon.

He rushed over to Spike to see what the problem was. It appeared that his tail was stuck on one of the wires. Spike struggled to get out, only to find out that he was making it worse.

Dr. Whooves tried to speak up through Spike's panicking and asked, "Spike! Come Down! What's Going on?"

All that Spike could muster was, "SHE'S GONNA KILL ME!!!"

"Huh?" Dr. Whooves asked, looking through the vent. He saw Fluttershout poking her head and arms through the vent, preparing to use her shouting attack. "Great Slithering Snakes!" he shouted, struggling to free Spike from the attack. "Geez! Why do I always have to save your-AAAAAHHHHH!!!!!" He screamed, noticing that Fluttershout was already starting to use her deadly screaming attack. But before any deadly sonic booms could come out, someone grabbed her, pulled her out, and flung her to the wall. Fluttershout dropped down to the floor, looking up to see who stopped her from her murdering rampage.

It was Rainbow Dash. Rainbow dashed towards Fluttershout, ready for another blow. But Fluttershout managed to get up and started her scream attack. The sound waves hit Rainbow and smacked her to the wall. If only Rainbow still had her guns.

Fluttershout was right on top of her, preparing for the final blow. But before she could do that, Applejack leaped out into the air and kicked Fluttershout towards the wall with her super strength. Then suddenly, Fluttershout was trapped by what looks like a huge diamond. It was Rarity who formed a box-like-prison with her magic.

Dr. Whooves and Spike crawled through the vents to see if the coast was clear. "How did you all do that?" Dr. Whooves asked.

Spike knew the answer as he responded, "Oh, right. I forgot. You still have those powers from the geo crystals." That explained how Rainbow Dash managed to get here so fast.

Fluttershout struggled to break free from this crystal prison by using her shout attacks. Instead, her own attacks were damaging her ears. All of a sudden, the crystal began to glow and something infected Fluttershout. A bright flash stung Fluttershout, which sent a tremor through the building. Fluttershout fell to ground when the crystal disappeared.

Everyone stood back, aware of another attack. But nothing happened. They all took a step closer towards her. Spike hid in the vents for safety.

Fluttershout opened her eyes slightly. They all sighed in relief that the eyes weren't green anymore. The eyes were red and blue again.

Fluttershout took a minute to get her head clear when she asked, "What happened?"

"That no good Celestia must have put some sort of mind control on you,” said Applejack. “You were on a rampage."

"But you are free from it thanks to us," Rarity spoke up. "Does that mean you are with us now?"

Fluttershout had no idea that her actions almost killed some innocent lives. She looked at everyone around her. She took a moment to think until she finally said, "Yes."

Everyone cheered now that she is back. Well, kinda. She needed to do something that represented her element in order to change back into Fluttershy.

They all stopped dead in their tracks when they felt a tremor in the building. They looked up to see a crack on the ceiling. The tiny explosion must have caused all the damage. The pieces of metal started to fall and land in front of both entrances of the vent. Spike was trapped.

They tried to remove all the wreckage to get Spike out, but there were too many metal pieces that were blocking the vent. It would take a lot of force to remove all of that. Fluttershout stepped in front of the crowd, suggesting that she could help. They were all aware of what she was thinking of doing.

Rarity suddenly had an idea. Her horn glowed, and small diamond shards appeared in front of Spike. He can use these to cover his ears.

Fluttershout stepped in front of the pile, preparing to make her move. She told everyone to cover their ears. When they all did what they had to do, she finally screamed. Huge sound waves burst out of her mouth as they hit the metal parts right in front of her.

Spike covered his ears with those diamonds for his dear life. Both blockades finally broke down, and Fluttershout stopped screaming. Spike felt dizzy from the huge sound when he came out of that vent. He lay flat on the floor while putting his thumbs up saying that he was okay.

Dr. Whooves picked up Spike and got him to sit on the table so he can rest. Fluttershout found a fake plastic balloon, and put it under Spike’s head as a pillow. "Why Fluttershout," said Dr. Whooves. "Now that.....was a very kind thing to do."

When the words sputtered out, Fluttershout levitated in the air with a spark of magic. They all knew they needed to cover their eyes from that huge light show during the transformation. She dropped to the floor when it was over. They all came towards her, seeing if she was okay. Fluttershy blinked a couple of times and squinted her eyes from all of that. Everyone was so happy to see her back. That meant there was only one more to go.

Celestia shot a lot of lasers in her lair. She was frustrated to know that Fluttershy was on their side now. Brutalight was just standing by when she suddenly encountered another animatronic against the wall. It was a small blue alicorn that was withered in a sitting position. She stepped closer to get a better look.

"No!" shouted Celestia as she shoved Brutalight towards the ground.

Brutalight started to fear the rage that was growing in Celestia. "I'm sorry," Brutalight sputtered out. "I just wanted to know what that thing was."

This made Celestia angrier. "I don't want you to go near that animatronic, or you will feel more of my wrath. Disobey my orders, and that will be your death wish!"

Brutalight felt even more scared after hearing that. "I am so sorry!" she cried out. "I promise I will get rid of those animatronics if it's the last thing I-"

"Shut up!" Celestia shouted out while she levitated Brutalight and flung her to the door. "You're a useless robot, and I don't need your here. Now get out!"

Brutalight got up to her feet as she tried to sputter out another apology. "But I didn't mean to-"

"OUT!!!" Celestia shouted once again while smashing her hooves on the floor and slamming the door.
Brutalight found another dark room where there were no cameras. She lay there for the night. "I will get out there and win her approval back," she thought to herself while she looked at her swords before the clock struck 6:00 a.m. "And every one of those animatronics is going to die!"

Author's Note

There is a special surprise for the next chapter on the fowath night. Yes. I've watched EthGoesBOOM!

Chapter 10: Brutalight Sparcake

It was the fourth night, and everyone was having a great time. They were celebrating how they were getting their friends back by letting them remember who they were. There was only one girl left to save. Brutalight Sparcake. They must get her to redeem herself before it's too late. What they didn't know was that she was already on the loose. And she had already begun her hunt to take them down one by one.

Brutalight crawled through the darkness and snuck through the shadows. She spotted Pinkie Pie alone at the snack shack. "The first traitor!" she thought to herself as she got her swords out preparing to strike. But before she was about to slice Pinkie, something clouded her vision. She stared at Pinkie Pie, but...as...a...pony? Pinkie Pie was an animatronic pony with an eye patch and a hook while she was eating a lot of candy. Brutalight must be hallucinating. She tried to clear her mind while she retreated.

Brutalight started to look for Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy because they were her next targets. She saw them in the hallway as they were talking to Spike. She prepared to make her move. As she got closer, her eyes widened because of what she saw. They were both animatronic pegasi flying in mid-air. She must be losing her mind. She ran from them as fast and far away as she could.

Brutalight found a small quiet place where she could keep it together from these hallucinations. "What is wrong with me?" she thought to herself again. Suddenly, a shadow behind her moved. It started to circle around her. Brutalight tried to find a way to escape, but she was trapped. With a final sweep, the shadow pulled her into the darkness.

She opened her eyes feeling exhausted from that rodeo. She looked around to see that she was still in the building. She took a moment to look at her...hooves? She looked at her reflection in a puddle She was now an alicorn animatronic. Not only that, she was Twilight again. But how could this be?

A shiver went down her spine when she heard a spooky whisper that said, “Follow me.” Twilight had no other choice whatsoever. She followed a shadowed figure that led her through the hallway. As she passed by each room, she started to see random things as hallucinations. She spotted animatronic Celestia and animatronic Luna as their younger versions. She should’ve remembered them. The voice repeated “Follow me” again and Twilight still followed.

In the next room, Twilight saw Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, and herself as animatronic pony-up humans. She definitely remembered something like that. She suddenly heard “Follow me” again. So she kept following.

She came across a room, and then she saw Cheese Sandwich, Applejack, Rarity, and Shining Armor. The voice echoed “Follow me” again and she kept following.

She came across the next room where she saw Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, and herself as animatronic ponies. Then she kept following those creepy words “Follow me” again.

When she entered the next room, she saw Celestia again. But this time, Celestia looked a lot older and completely fixed. Her mane and tail were similar to Principal Celestia's hair. She stood right in front of the withered blue animatronic that Twilight encountered. Only this time, it was black with a flowing blue mane and tail. It looked a lot like Luna, but even darker. She heard the “Follow me” voice again and then she followed it towards the second to last room.

The room was completely dark filled with dim blue lights all over. She saw Luna again. Only this time, she was wearing armor with a set of dragon eyes and fangs. Her corpse was visible through the holes and her mouth of her suit. Surrounding her were phantom animatronic ponies. Twilight saw Cadence, Spike, Cheese Sandwich, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, and...herself. All of them were phantoms with the same eyes that Luna had. She heard “Follow me” again and followed it for the last time towards the last room.

Twilight went inside the last room which turned out to be the office. The lights were so bright that she had to use her wings to cover her eyes. She suddenly spotted a tall black figure, which was sitting on the chair. The lights dimmed, and Twilight was able to see clearly. "Who...who are you?" she asked timidly. "Show yourself!"

The figure stood up on all four hooves. Its white eyes opened wide like the full moon in the night sky. Its sharp teeth and shadowed armor made Twilight frightened. Its wings were completely black, and they opened out like a fan. Lastly, its horn shimmered a black ora as completely dark as a shadow. Twilight knew for a fact that this was another alicorn. Only this time, it was a male.

"Greetings Twilight," responded the shadowed figure. "We finally meet. I am the one they call the Pony of Shadows."

Twilight wondered how someone like him even existed. "Were all of those visions?" she asked, feeling concerned.

"Yes," he responded.

"But why me?" she asked.

He stepped towards her and then started to circle around her while he spoke. "You are their leader now. They need you to lead them from what's to come." He kept talking until he asked, "Do you know who was responsible for your dismantle state?"

Twilight gritted her teeth as she responded, "Those pony animatronics."

The Pony of Shadows laughed to himself while he responded, "That brainwashing must be stronger on you than I thought. Let me show you the truth." With that, one of his shadow tentacles appeared and stabbed Twilight's forehead. Her eyes began to glow white.

Twilight stood in an office like that one she encountered. She saw herself as her previous human animatronic. She walked towards the camera system and remembered that she was looking for security guards. She suddenly saw two figures stalking behind her counterpart. They were both holding axes. Then they broke her counterpart while demolishing her piece by piece. She finally saw the faces of those murderers. "It was Celestia and Luna," she said. "But why?"

The Pony of Shadows appeared behind her. "Mind Control," he responded. "There was a small disc behind their heads. If you can remove them, you can bring them back. But remember. You can't tell anyone else about these visions. Only about how to save the sisters." Twilight nodded in agreement. And with that, she was teleported out of the memory.

The Pony of Shadows suddenly knelt down as if he was in pain. There were two voices going on in his head.

"You weren't supposed to tell her that, Stygian!” shouted a darkened voice. “The master will not be pleased when he hears this."

"But I had to,” replied Stygian. “That was part of his plan, and I had to do it. I didn't want to follow his orders, but freeing the sisters sounded like the right thing to do."

"Having them in our control will require the same result!" boomed out the darkened voice.

"It doesn't matter!” shouted Stygian. “What's done is done. So we might as well check how Twilight is doing now."

Everyone gathered at the stadium, thinking of a way to save Twilight. They were interrupted when they heard the sudden sound of metal footsteps coming from the hallway. They saw a bipedal figure walking out of the shadows. They definitely knew who it was. Brutalight Sparcake. They were already in fighting positions, waiting for an attack to come. When the figure stepped out, they stopped.

Shining was the first to step forward and speak up. "Twily? Is that you?"

Twilight looked up to the others as she responded, "Yes, BBBFF. It's me. I'm back."

Everyone ran towards her for a group hug, so glad to have her back. Pinkie and Cheese already set up a party to celebrate her return. Everyone had a great time for the remaining hours when Pinkie finally asked, "So...what does BBBFF stand for again?"

Celestia was furious. She lost all of her minions. She was on her own now. Her sister was still dead. At least, that was what she thought. She didn't know that her sister was still alive. It didn't matter to her.

When she spooked Cadence on the first night, she spotted an armor that was with one of the prizes at the prize corner. She could use that to fight off those animatronics once and for all. With the power of two alicorn sisters, there was no stopping her now. They were all about to burn to the ground.

Author's Note

The final battle is approaching. Be hyped for the final night. Also, there is another character that is random and an oc. I will explain everything on the next comment for the final chapter. Scratch that! There is an epilogue that will lead to the second season. Just so you know.

Chapter 11: Daybreaker

It was the final night, and Celestia returned to her lair with the armor. She was able to steal it by sneaking through the shadows while everyone was occupied with their other activities. She started to put the armor on.

Once she was suited up, she walked towards her motionless sister. Celestia horn began to glow as she levitated something out of the blue alicorn animatronic. It was her sister's soul. She then placed it with her own. Then the transformation finally began.

Her body began to grow taller. The armor changed its design. Her wings became bigger, and the feathers formed into sharp points. Her mouth began to grow razor sharp teeth, and her living eye pupils formed into lightning bolts. Lastly, her mane and tail were set on fire which blazed red, orange, and yellow fire trails. Once the transformation was completed, she had more power than she could’ve ever imagined. Daybreaker was born.

Everyone had a great time at the party last night. Cadence returned to her box to rest up, while Shining talked with the rest of the girls.

"That was some great dancing Shining," said Applejack.

"I didn't know you were quite the dancer," replied Rarity.

"To be honest, I didn't think I had the guts to do it," Shining responded. "I had a little help from Cadence."

"Uh...excuse me?" Fluttershy interrupted. "I don't mean to interrupt. But has anyone seen Rainbow Dash?"

Spike walked towards the group. "I saw her walk into the parts and services room," he answered, while pointing to the far corner of the room.

"Thanks Spike," said Fluttershy as she started walking towards the room.

When she got in, she saw Rainbow Dash sitting against the wall feeling bored. "Uh...Rainbow Dash?" she called out in a quiet and timid voice.

Rainbow looked up to see Fluttershy standing in front of her. "Yeah, what's up?" she asked.

Fluttershy stepped closer. "I have something that belongs to you," she said as she pulled out what she was hiding behind her back.

"My old guitar!" Rainbow shouted with joy until she asked, "Where did you find it?"

Fluttershy sat next to her. "I found it at the prize bin last night,” she responded. “I thought I would need to hand it back to you."

She took out her tambourine while Rainbow was tuning her guitar. She played some notes as Fluttershy tapped on her tambourine following the beat. They both enjoyed their melody, but Fluttershy stopped tapping as she placed her tambourine down.

Rainbow stopped as well realizing that something was bothering Fluttershy. "What's wrong?" she asked, hoping she could know what the problem was.

A tear was already falling from Fluttershy's eye. "Rainbow, I...I...I've...s-s-still have my scars when I was Fluttershout!"

Now Rainbow started to feel concerned. "What are you talking about?"

Fluttershy already began to cry. "I was still in full possession when Celestia took control of me. I was a rampaging killing machine. I could've killed someone. I almost killed one of my friends. I never wanted this. I didn't...I...I..." She began to cry even more as she buried her head on Rainbow's chest.

Rainbow patted her head to keep Fluttershy calm. "It's okay," she spoke up. "There is no need to worry anymore. It's all in the past. I know how much this hurts you. Trust me. I've been there. I almost shot Applejack and Rarity when I was Rainbine. But I was loyal enough to help them and fight against Celestia. You were kind enough to save Spike from being trapped. That's how we changed to our normal selves. And after all that, they still forgave us because they are our true friends."

Fluttershy looked up at her. Her last teardrop fell and was replaced by a warm smile. "Thank you, Rainbow,” she said. “That means a lot." Fluttershy leaned her back against the wall.

Rainbow yawned. "Man," she said. "I am tired. I think I am gonna rest here for a while." She was about to rest when she felt a tap on her shoulder.

Fluttershy was trying to get her attention. "Uh, Rainbow?" she asked. "Do you mind if I could...um, rest here for a while?"

Rainbow had no idea how to respond to that question. All she could think of was, "Uh, sure." She laid her head against the wall to get back to sleep.

Fluttershy leaned her head against Rainbow's shoulder. The two pegasi girls fell asleep.

Pinkie and Cheese were just passing by the room when they spotted them resting. Pinkie silently closed the door trying to not wake them up. She put her finger towards her lips telling Cheese to be quiet. Cheese nodded his head in response. Pinkie whistled to herself as she quietly walked away. Cheese was imitating a Da Da Dum Dum Da Dum Dum expression while walking away as well.

Dr. Whooves was on night watch again while Derpy was having her muffin. "So far, so good," he said while he was looking through the rooms. He suddenly spotted some figure on the monitor. His blood ran cold as he recognize what and who it was. His instincts kicked in as he sounded the alarm. "Attention all animatronics!" he shouted from the speaker. "I found Celestia!" All the animatronics rushed towards the stadium as fast as they could.

Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash awoke from their sleep when they heard the alarm. They were blushing when they realized that they were hugging each other. They immediately pulled away. "Let's pretend that never happened," said Rainbow Dash. Fluttershy nodded in agreement as they both got up. They both rushed out of the room and joined the others.

"Where is she?" Shining spoke up.

"She's in the hallway to your left!" shouted Dr. Whooves. They all rushed towards the room where she was. They were tricked when they saw a pony plush toy on the floor. Spike shrieked when he saw the figure behind them. They all turned around to see Celestia standing at the opposite of the room.

She levitated a bunch of tables, chairs, arcades, and desks with her magic. She slammed them against their only exit. She used her lasers to seal the blockade. They were all trapped.

Cadence crawled out of her napping spot. She stretched out her wings and legs after a long rest. She looked around; wondering where did everybody go. She looked up at the monitor. "Dr?" she called out. "Where is everyone?" There was no response. "Hello? Is anyone there?"

She suddenly heard the sound of gunshots and a motor from a vehicle coming from the hallway. She saw Derpy driving a go-kart along with a dizzy doctor on the passenger seat. Derpy pushed down the brake with a loud shriek in front of Cadence.

"What is going on here?" Cadence asked; feeling more concerned of the crazy randomness that was going on.

Derpy was trying to catch her breath before she could respond. "We are trying to get away from...(*gasps*)...her," she responded while she was pointing to the figure standing in front of them.

A shiver ran down Cadence's spine as she recognize who it was. "Celestia?" she asked in asked in a scared tone. "Celestia, what happened to you?" she asked again in a more concerned tone this time.

The alicorn animatronic just laughed. ""Hello Cadence," replied the animatronic. "That name was so unsubtle for me now. I prefer one that suits for my complete transformation. Daybreaker! The better, prettier, and more POWERFUL version that you can ever imagine."

Cadence didn't agreed with the term pretty while looking at her state. "What have you done with my friends!?" she shouted while stomping a hoof to the ground.

"Oh, no need to worry." Daybreaker responded. "They are still alive. I just want you to witness their death as I burn them to ashes." She then begins to cackle evilly to herself as she watches Cadence's fear grow stronger.

Cadence was already having enough of this. "NO!" she shouted as her eyes began to glow black with white pupils like an actual animatronic. "I'm not going to let you hurt them. Not while I am still standing. And I won't stop until I can't fight anymore."

This got Daybreaker to laugh even harder. "You're quite the feisty one, aren't you? It won't matter. I will easily burn anyone that stands in my way!" With that, she exhaled out a huge fire breath that aimed right at Cadence.

When the smoke cleared, Cadence was still standing. She was able to block the attack with her force field she created with her magic. As soon as it dissipated, she spoke up in a low and tensed voice, "This time, I won't back down from a fight." Then she charged towards Daybreaker and slammed her against the wall.

Daybreaker shoved her aside and took to the air. She blasted out lasers that forced Cadence to use her force fields again. This gave her another opportunity to use her fire breath again. It slammed against the shield as it was about to crack. Cadence was growing weaker and hotter from the attack.

Daybreaker, however, was distributed from gun shots behind her. Dr. Whooves managed to wake up from his dizziness while he used his tommy gun to fire at her so Cadence can get the upper hoof to tackle her again. Daybreaker didn't think the shots did much damage. She then used her fire breath on him. Derpy was able to pull him away from the attack.

Cadence was able to get up and take to the air. Soon, she and Daybreaker were both fighting in the air shooting lasers.

Everyone was trying everything to bring down the blockade, but nothing seems to be working. "Wait a minute!" Shining shouted out. "Some of us have horns. We can teleport out of here and levitate the rubble in order for you guys to break it down easily." Shining Armor, Rarity, and Twilight teleported out of the trapped room and then levitated the heavy blockade. They were running out of time, so they told everyone to start running towards the blockade and use all the force to bring it down.

There luck was running out when they saw Cadence fighting Daybreaker on her own. Shining spotted a sword and a shield beside him. He levitated them with his magic and then charged towards the fight.

Daybreaker had Cadence right where she wanted her. She then used her lasers to fire at will. Shining managed to step in front of Daybreaker and blocked the attack with his shield. He then used his sword to aim at her wings. The sword was able to damage the wings for Daybreaker to crash towards the ground, but now she was using them as shields to block from any attacks. Just as soon as she was pinned, the blockade broke apart and the rest of the animatronics joined in the fight.

The girls were able to use their geo powers for good use. Pinkie was able to craft a sprinkle blaster to fight of Daybreaker. It's Pinkie Pie. Don't question it. Fluttershy was able to bring reinforcements by summoning an army of wild animals. Rarity equipped them with diamond armor. Applejack used her super strength to fling out wreckages at Daybreaker. Rainbow Dash used her super speed to clear out the fire. Twilight was levitating and crafting a defensive wall to avoid the flame attacks.

Cheese and Spike didn't know what to do in the fight, until an idea caught in Cheese's mind. "Hey, ain't you a fire breathing dragon?" he asked Spike.

Spike brought back a smirk; realizing the idea that Cheese Sandwich had in mind.

Cheese started to use Spike as a flamethrower while shouting, "Fight Fire with FIRE!" They were both laughing for the expanse.

This was quite the fight that Daybreaker was having, but it was about to end as she was about to unleash her special attack. Her chest glowed into a bright red aura and a huge blinding explosion was spreading everywhere with flames sprouting out.

Everyone retreated towards the defensive wall that Twilight constructed earlier. They were all struggling to think of a plan to end all of this.

This gave Twilight the opportunity to spill out what she had to say. "I know how we can save Celestia!" she shouted out. All eyes were on her now. "There's a mind control chip on the back of her head. If I can get close enough, I will be able to end this fight!"

Rainbow was the first to speak when she asked, "How do you know about all this?"

Twilight was thinking of a good excuse for this situation until she came up with one. "I managed to spy on her when I was Brutalight." They all managed to agree with that explanation as Twilight prepared herself for the worst.

"Go!" shouted Pinkie. "You've got this, Twilight!"

Twilight looked towards Daybreaker, then back towards her friends. "No," she said. "We've got this. Together."

Applejack and Shining Armor worked together by pushing the protective wall further. Rainbow Dash was able to dash towards the water balloon room and gathered enough water supply for Dr. Whooves and Derpy to put out the fire on the wall. Pinkie and Cheese were being distractions for Daybreaker so she could focus her attacks on them. This gave Fluttershy and Spike the opportunity to rally up the animals towards the defensive wall. Rarity and Cadence had placed diamonds and shields around Twilight for her to get close enough to remove the disc.

Twilight was already making her move by charging towards Daybreaker. Once she was close enough, she focused all of her powers on the disc. Suddenly, the disc popped out of the skin, the back of the mask, and through the helmet. Twilight was able to catch it without anyone seeing it. She was able to use her gravitational power to crush the disc into little pieces.

Daybreaker collapsed to the ground. The fire slowly died as she got up slowly. But when she opened her eyes, they were normal magenta eyes. Celestia was back. "Wh-what happened?" she asked; looking round to see everyone surrounding her. She looked at her own hooves and a reflection of her hideous self. "What has happened to me?" she questioned to herself. "What have I done?" She looked at the animatronics. "I am so sorry," she responded; tears coming out of her eyes. "I don't know what came over me."

The moment was interrupted when a wreckage was happening on the rooftops again. And it was falling over Pinkie Pie. "Pinkie! Look out!" shouted Cheese Sandwich as he pushed her aside from the collision. Pinkie got up from being shoved but then gasped in horror by that wreckage, which landed on Cheese instead.

Suddenly, Cheese was at his mangled state again when he crawled out, but he wasn't functioning well. He collapsed in front of Pinkie and she knelt close to him. Cheese was sparking out glitches when he spoke up, "Told ya I be there for you." His head finally collapsed to the ground as his eye blinkers blacked out. He was motionless.

Pinkie was crying out tears as she shouted, "NNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO -oh wait, he's a robot. I can just rebuild him," she suddenly said from all that drama for nothing.

"I think it may be too late for that Pinkie. Look!" Twilight shouted out as she pointed to the clock which was already stroking 6:00 A.M. She then collapsed to the floor. Soon the rest of the animatronics collapsed with her. They all powered down.

Dr. Whooves and Derpy looked over all the lifeless animatronics. "What do we do now Doc?" Derpy asked in a nervous tone.

Dr. Whooves took in a deep breath as he responded, "Only one thing we can do. It's time to call them for help."

Derpy was confused of what he just said. "Call who for help?"

Dr. Whooves just sighed. "We have a lot to talk about."

A new attraction was set up in another location called Equestrian Land. A new attraction was set up in this amusement park called Twilight's Funtime Castle. Inside the castle were several hallways and stairs that lead to a lot of rooms filled with activities. For example: Arcades, ball pit, go-karts, 4D theater, laser tag, and a huge ride that used at least half of the castle, and last but not least, the stadium. It had a lot of crystals hanging from the roots of a tree on the ceiling. A huge table was at the center that showed the map of the entire theme park. There were chairs surrounding it for display. The animatronics were in the room as well and they were all ponies. Spike was still a dragon. This time, he was upgraded with a pair of wings.

Twilight, Rainbow Dash, and Fluttershy were on the North side of the room. Shining Armor, Applejack, and Rarity were on the South side of the room. Cadence and Spike were on the East side of the room. Pinkie Pie and Cheese Sandwich were on a tiny stage with curtains that were on the West side of the room.

There was another room with a door that said employees only. It was the parts and services room. Inside of the room was another animatronic and it was a big one. It was Celestia. And she looked a lot like her human self with the multicolored mane and tail. Not to mention it was programmed to be flowing. She was dressed up in a regalia that made her look like a princess. She was sitting against the wall with her head facing down. It was quiet though with no one else in the building. But then the silence with cut off when her eyes opened up to show a black surface with a white pupil that glowed. She has reawakened.

Author's Note

The design of the park for you model builders will definitely be a pain in the neck for you, but I believe that you might be able to pull it off. I worked so hard on this series. So can we please make the best of it? Just take your time and I won't pressure you. I will explain what will happen next on the epilogue.

Epilogue: A New Beginning

Twilight awoke from her sleep. She looked all over herself and realized she was now an alicorn animatronic. She looked from side to side to see everypony in the room. She looked at the clock to see that the time was...3 P.M.? It was the afternoon. It looks like they could roam around in the daytime now.

She started to notice that the others were already waking up. Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy gasped as they saw themselves as animatronic ponies. Shining, Applejack, and Rarity woke up from the sleep and were wondering what happened to them. Cadence poked out from her box and Spike put down the sign and balloons he was holding. Pinkie and Cheese opened the curtains and looked at each other with a happy expression.

"You're alive!" shouted Pinkie.

"You're a pony!" shouted Cheese.

They clinked their hooks together as a high five. They blushed when they realized the hooks formed into a heart. Soon, everypony came together at the table; bringing out a lot of questions and comments.

Meanwhile, Celestia teleported in the basement after teleporting around the entire castle in order to get a better picture of this attraction. She nearly jumped in fear when she saw who was sitting against the wall in the room.

It was Luna. She was still in her withered state. Only this time, her coat was darkened in a black color. Her corpse can be visible from the open holes of her suit and her mouth full of fangs. And yet, she was still motionless.

Celestia couldn’t bear to look at her in that state. She immediately teleported back upstairs to catch her breath. She was back in the parts and services room as she anticipated. She then heard a commotion in the stadium. She knew that it was the other animatronics. She took a deep breath as she used her magic to open the door.

The conversation between the animatronics stopped when they heard the door behind them opened. They gasped when they saw Celestia walked out of the room. "Does anyone care to tell me what was going on?" she asked once everypony was at their full attention. They had a lot to talk about.

After they told the whole story from the beginning, Celestia couldn't believe that she did those things. She suddenly began to cry. "I'm...I'm sorry,” she said. “I never wanted to hurt anyone. I was in full possession from that mind control chip. I could've let somebody die. I never wanted any of this! I'm...sorry. I am so, so sorry." She was already crying.

Twilight walked up to her. "I understand how you feel," she said. "When I was Midnight Sparkle, I didn't had control of any of my emotions. All I craved for was power and control. Until my friends helped me by showing that there was another way. So if there was anyone who would understand you, it's me."

Celestia returned a smile when she realized they forgave her. "Thank you. All of you. You are all a really forgiving group."

"Hey!" shouted Pinkie. "That's what I used to say!"

Everyone laughed from the response. Celestia was glad that she had a place with everyone here. They were built for entertainment after all.

Although, they've got a lot of work to do before the tourists can come in the castle. There was no doubt that they will blow the kids’ minds of showing what they can do. One of these days, they would find a way back to their normal lives. But for now, they have a new beginning ahead of them. A daring beginning.

Author's Note

Listen up. In order for me to continue this series, I am going to make the second season a dare series. This will help continue on the series. I would like you to put suggestions of dares below this chapter so I can put them on the second season. I will announce who sent the dare and will be posted on the chapter. Have fun.

Chapter 3: Replacements

The policemen and construction workers were there at the crime scene. It had been one day since the new animatronics were on the stage, and now they were all torn apart, put away, broken down, and deactivated. They were placed in a parts and services room.

However, they didn't saw the alicorn animatronics in the crime scene nor the blood stains on the floor. It was like someone was trying to hide the evidence of those two animatronics, who are now bloody corpses. And yet, the construction worker employees didn't realized that the alicorn animatronics were in the parts and services room this whole time. Not to mention that they didn't even know that they were still alive.

Anyway, even with all the damaged animatronics and missing corpses, the company didn't stop running this business. It was like someone was still running it without anyone finding his/her identity. They needed new animatronics to run the attraction. But what kind? They tried alicorns and pony-human hybrids, but those didn't work out so well. So what if they tried simpler ponies?

The animatronics would need to be small and shiny. They should be tall enough to reach the waist of a normal human. And the rosey cheeks should definitely show them as being adorable. The employees started on their construction on the robots.

The first one was a unicorn stallion with a top hat, a black bow tie, a microphone, and a nice set of armor. The second one was an orange earth pony with a red scarf, a cowboy hat, freckles, a straw designed mane, and an electric bass. The third was a unicorn mare with a long purple mane, eyelashes, a necklace with a purple diamond, and a keytar. The fourth animatronic was an earth pony stallion with big brown puffy hair. He also wore an eyepatch, a hook, and a yellow shirt. He was taking over Party Cove.

They also built a small dragon animatronic with shoes, pants, buttons, a pinwheel hat, balloons, and a sign that says balloons.

One of the employees found an animatronic that wasn't damaged and was still functional. It was the other alicorn animatronic: the one that looked like Cadence. They still had the big purple box in store. However, the bow was missing. So they added some princess accessories on her. They put all her accessories back at the prize corner where the kids could see her again.

It was night time and everyone had left the building. The remaining souls were still in the building. Suddenly, another powerful force guided the souls into the remaining animatronics. When the souls were on the right animatronics, they plunged into the suits and took over the bodies. The clock finally turned midnight, and the heads lifted up as silver eyes opened from the faces of the living animatronic ponies.

Author's Note

I made the models of the pony animatronics at ponylumen.net. I need to know if these models can be imported to Source Filmmaker. If they can, I need to know how.
