The Puppet
A Different kind of night
Previous ChapterNext ChapterThe Puppet woke with a start and blinked as it looked around its box, it peaked out and noticed some guards leaving the restaurant. The Puppet watched in silence, around the restaurant the Animatronics began filling with life. As the restaurant began refilling with life Will was once again in the office watching them come to life.
"Welp, last chance to grab a drink before they come running to get me," As Will got ready for his long night three ponies had gathered around back next to the dumpster, they watched as a few royal guards chilled outback on a smoke break for a while, once the guards left the trio moved out, the one holding a flashlight was hanging back a little, once the other reached the door he spoke up in a quiet voice.
"I don't mean to sound like a broken record," Pip said as Applebloom and Scootaloo tried to shove the door open "But This is a really bad idea,"
"You heard the rumors," Applebloom said as she looked around for a vent of some kind "The Animatronics come to life at night, we sneak in and ask 'em if they saw anything suspicious,"
"But what if the Animatronics are the murders?" Pip squeaked back as he lightly tapped his hooves in place while pulling on his ears.
"Pip if you're scared just go home," Scootaloo muttered as she pushed against the door.
"I can't just run off, what if you two get hurt, one extra pair of hands could mean the difference between life and death!"
"By that same logic the three of us could be one short of that extra pair of hands," Scootaloo shot back before he hears perked. "Did you guys hear that?" She asked looking around and getting a confused look from her two friends before they heard it, faint voices, and the sounds of thumping and clanking, Scootaloo put her ear to the door and tried to hear what the voices were saying, Applebloom and Pip joining in.
Meanwhile the Puppet, Fredbear, and Withered Bonnie were banging around In the kitchen.
"Why is it so dark in here?" Bonnie demanded as he hit something and the sound of metal hitting the floor rang through the room "Opps,"
"Why would I have the answer to that?" The Puppet demanded as it found a handle and lit up some of the room with a Refrigerator full of Frozen Pizzas, Cakes, and a few bottled drinks with sticky notes on them. "Better?" The Puppet asked.
"Little," Bonnie replied as he clumsily used his hand to stack the metal pans and trays into a pile. Fredbear was tapping the walls in search of where Spring Bonnie had been hidden.
"Stop bickering," Fredbear said as it checked the wall behind the refrigerator "Search for his hidey-hole," Bonnie took and Puppet both took one of the walls not bordering the Mainroom and began tapping, pushing, and banging on the wall, After a moment The Puppet stop when it heard the voices of children and made towards them, after a moment he found a hallway with a small light at the end. The Puppet made his way down the hall and heard voices clearly.
"who do you think that was?" A female voice asked.
"What if it was the animatronics hiding a body?" A young male voice replied the Puppet put his hand on what he now saw was a door and found the handle, it turned and the three on the other side jumped back as the handle turned back and forth as the Puppet tried opening the locked door after a moment the Puppet ran his hands up the length of the door and found what was stopping him, another lock. He stuck his finger in it and like he had done to the parts and service room melted the mechanism and turned it, unlocking it with ease. The Door Swung open and the Puppet looked down at the Three children who were looking at him with mixed expressions. He blinked when another light caught his eye and he looked up to the moon in silence.
"What's it doing?" Applebloom asked as the Puppet stared at the moon in silence, the lights that were its eyes giving away nothing.
"This place is dangerous at night," The Puppet said looking back to the children.
"Oh my Celestia it's alive," Pipsqueak said in terror.
"Oh that is so cool," Scootaloo said with excitement as she walked up to the Animatronic.
"You thee must leave," The Puppet said in a worried tone.
"But we have questions," Applebloom said firmly getting close with Scootaloo as Pip continued to back away "About who killed our friends, we-"
"The murder is the Gaurd inside the building if he sees you he'll-"
"Come say hi?" Applebloom and Scootaloo turned on the spot as Pipsqueak was muffled my Williams hand as he was picked up by the Night Guard. "Well high kids," He said with a glint of joy in his eyes as Pip struggled "Let's play a fun game," Will lit his horn and tossed Applebloom and Scootaloo into the Puppet before sealing the door shut and Teleporting back to the office with Pip.
Applebloom lay on the floor when a pair of hands picked her and Scootaloo up and after a moment of walking, she found she and Scootaloo wherein the arms of a Golden Freddy accompanied by a Faceless Bonnie gingerly holding the Puppet. The two were set down and instantly swarmed by the rest of the Fazbear crew for a moment before Toy Fredy broke up the group.
"Give them room, Give them room," After a moment a Terrifying yowl filled the room followed by the sound of a broken radio as Mangle approached the group.
"Puppet!" It called out in worry, having been called out the Animatronics and two children looked over to The Puppet, its Right leg was bent forward at the knee, one of its buttons had fallen off, and its face had multiple cracks running through it. "What happened?" The Mangle demanded "Did that Exoskeleton in the office do this? I'll rip his face off!"
"Yes," The Puppet said simply "But more importantly the Exoskeleton in the office had...kidnapped a child,"
"Hello!" Balloon Colt said raising a hand and shaking in stiffly.
"Oh my Celestia this is both amazing and Terrifying," Scootaloo muttered as she watched Balloon Colt turn on the spot and run towards the office stiffly to steal a flashlight,"
"Wait stop!" Applebloom called out getting all the Animatronics attention "You can't rush in, he already killed two of our friends and an Adult, if he sees you he'll kill Pip," Balloon Colt tripped over himself and fell on his face.
"Hello!" He cried out, Toy Bonnie rushed to help him up as Withered Bonnie, with a snap, tried to set the Puppets leg, after a moment the Puppet stood again and began walking to the children with a limp and an odd metallic noise every time it moved its leg.
"The Odds are he plans to kill both of you and your friend, like it or not you two are the best bet at revealing Will for the monster he is, we have to-" The Lights went off without warning and the Puppet blinked as the two Children huddled close to him in fear, The Puppet turned to Toy Fredy and found the bear's eyes where lifeless, The Mangle lay on the floor soundless, Toy Bonnie and Balloon Colt where frozen in place, Toy Chica had fallen over, Withered Bonnie and Fredbear were still standing strong.
"There we go," Will's voice suddenly sounded as the emergency generator kicked in and the lights came back dimly, "A small emp, just strong enough to shut off the main power but not the backup power, even shut down the Animatronics, the none-possessed ones anyway," Will came into view and the 5 backed up, he was in the Spring Bonnie suit, it was splattered in blood and in his hand he held a bloodied knife. "Don't worry about your friend," Spring Bonnie said happily "You'll be seeing him again in a few moments," Will's teeth could be smiling under the bonnie mask. "Now who am I killing first?"
"Front door," The Puppet said looking down at the Two who, with terror still in their eyes looked at the Puppet for a moment.
"possessed?" Scootaloo asked as Withered Bonnie and Fredbear closed in around them, The Puppet began sparking and for a few seconds the lights flickered and the two children and the Murder Bunny saw standing in the robots place Starlight, Silver Spoon, and Spike.
"Front door," Spike said to the two before the flickering stopped and he was the Puppet again. The Two Rushed to the entrance as the three animatronics stood their ground.
"So," Withered Bonnie said for a moment before looking over the Fredbead "We're both girls it seems,"
"Seems that way," Fredbear agreed as The Puppet limped between them.
"Focus on Spring Bonnie," He muttered as the Murderbunny turned to the two children then to the Animatronics, the two bigger ones rushed him and the Puppet saw him smiling a chill went up his metal spine.
"Wait, no!" The Puppet turned to the two children running to the door "Comeback he can Teleport!" Just as he said this Fredbear and Bonnie jumped at Spring Bonnie and he teleported away leaving to the two collide and slide across the floor, Spring Bonnie appeared in front of the running children and Scootaloo slid to a stop and fell on her rear, Applbloom ran straight into Springbonnie and fell on her back, looking up at him just in time for the knife to run threw he eyes, Scootaloo backed away as Applebloom screamed out in agony and after the third stab, her screams were a faint cry for her family before she went quiet. Scootaloo backed away from the slowly approaching Spring Bonnie, Withered Bonnie was trying and failing to pick itself up, and Fred bears head had popped off and lay facing away from the action while his body tried to locate his head, The Puppet was moving to the Murder Bunny, knowing full well even if he wasn't damaged the Unicorn could easily crush him, With a loud pop the Puppets leg join came out of place and he fell to the floor, The Puppet picked itself back up as Scootaloo started backing away from Springbonnie.
"Go ahead," Will said with a smile "Runaway, cry for help, beg for me to go away, it-" With a scream and tears in her eye Scootaloo ran to William and did the only thing she could think to do, She jumped up and grabbed his knife hand before becoming dead weight. "Oh Son of a Bitch," Will said losing his smile as he heard the Springlocks creaking at the extra weight. Still crying Scootaloo began swinging his arm back and forth. "Oh fuck it," Will said and raised his other hand up, With a loud crack Springbonnies hand collided with Scootaloo's face and sent her to the floor with a busted nose, she just had time to look up at him as he raised his foot.
"Rainbow Dash is gonna kick your ass," She managed to say before The fully grown pony but all his weight on her head, with a sickening sound Scootaloo went silent and Springbonnie smiled before looking to the Animatronics, all of whom were only just getting themselves together far too late to help in any way.
"Your all pathetic," he said with a smile "But hey, now those other three Animatronics in the back can be your friend," He gave a chuckle as he pointed to the back.
"I snapped the kid's neck after I put on the suit, stabbed his corpse a few times to really give those two one final scare," Springbonnie walked up to the Puppet and lifted it up.
"So sad little Dragon, you couldn't save anyone could you?"
"No but I can fuck you," The Puppet said as it put its hand on Springbonnies arms and Sparks flew from them. before Springbonnie could react the sound of Springlocks popping could be heard and with a bone-crunching pop he let out a scream as the Springlocks in his arms shut on him. Blood began flowing from the hands of the suit and into other parts. The Sound of the Spring locks begging to fail hit his ears and Will reacted on instinct and Lit his horn just as they snapped Will Teleported away, the Springbonnie suit let out an echoing snap and stood in place, blood dripping from its arms and forming a huge puddle of blood. The Puppet dragged himself to the Puddle and slapped his hand in the blood before rolling over and looking at his bloody hand.
"Good luck cleaning this up and not leaving a magical imprint without your hands," The Puppet sighed as Withered Bonnie got to his side, on his shoulder lay Silver Spoon, resting on the Puppet was Spike.
"That could not have gone worse," Silver muttered as she looked at all the death and blood surrounding them.
"He could have got away scot-free," Spike muttered "But at the same time, if any of us had stopped to think for a moment, we could have saved them, we could have saved them," Silver Spoon and Spike flickered away and the Puppet looked up at Bonnie
"Hey, Bonnie?" he asked "Give me a hand will ya? I gotta few gifts to give,"
