Empty and Alone

"This is stupid" Spike muttered angrily as he walked out the door. "I have better things to do today."

"Name one!" Twilight replied as she followed after him.

"Ok...I have better things I want to do today." Spike corrected as The Two made their way to Ponyville.

"Oh Come on Spike this'll be fun." Twilight said enthusiastically, "This place just opened, what better way to spend your Saturday?" Spike sighed and looked over at her.

"So just to be clear, your Ideal Saturday is at a Children's Pizzeria?" he asked.

"What? No, I meant Spending it with Friends, and besides the place just opened and Sweetie Belle, Applebloom, and Scootaloo have been dying to check it out, it's very popular at the moment I'm told, so I thought the 8 of us could all check it out together," Twilight smiled at Spike before adding "and I think it's about time you tried befriending the crusaders" Spike couldn't think of any good arguments against that.

"I hope this place has good food." Was all he could think to say as the two made their way to the middle of the town, after some walking they found their 6 companions for the evening waiting for them outside saving them a spot in a fairly sized line outside the Restaraunt. "Oh wow." Spike said as they approached "I think every kid in town is here."

"Hey, Spike!" Sweetie Waved as they joined the line, Instantly Spike was Surrounded by the Excited CMC.

"This is awesome!" Scootaloo said as they slowly made their way forward "I heard They have some of the best Animatronic's in all Equestria!"

"I heard they have a Carousel!" Sweetie Squealed "I bet it'll be awesome!"

"Well, I heard that they have some wicked cool prizes if you get enough Tickets from the games," Applebloom replied, the Trio stood in silence for a moment before all turning to Spike, who jumped in response.

"I know nothing about this place," Spike with Confidence "And I have no idea what's inside." the Trio looked at him in silence before all squealing.

"Neither do we!" They all said happily "There could be anything inside!" Spike sighed as the Three continued telling him what they'd heard about the place.

"They're already enjoying themselves this much, and we haven't even gone inside yet." Rainbow said in amazement "The Squirt's Aunts weren't kidding when they told me she wanted to go, heck I'm getting pumped up."

"Well don't pump yourself up too much." Rarity replied, "I've heard of this place, it is less than impressive for the Adults, the Pizza is cheap, the Animatronic's are less than entertaining, we will be spending the next 4 hours sitting down and waiting for the little ones to tucker themselves out."

"Hey." Spike complained, "I can hear you."

"Oh, not you Spikey-Wikey! I'm talking about the girls." Spike smiled and gave a nod before being dragged back into a Riveting Conversation about what Kind of Pizza to get. Rarity giggled but stopped when she caught Twilight's eye.

"your gonna have to tell him eventually." Twilight said sternly "leading him on like this isn't healthy."

"Oh Twilight A little crush won't hurt him, it just shows he has excellent taste in..."

"Show, shmow. You just lead him on cause it makes you feel better about your looks." Rainbow Interrupted with a chuckle, Rarity glared at her before looking away with a huff.

"Anyway." Applejack cut in "The Most important thing about today is making sure that we are Responsible and keep a keen eye on the young ones, never know when something could happen." Applejack checked to make sure the CMC and Spike weren't listening when she added: "A long while ago this place use to be called FredBears Family Dinner and was shut down after an accident with one of the Animatronics got some poor filly killed." The other took that information in for a second.

"What!" Rainbow whispered back "You didn't think to share that earlier!?"

"It only happened because the parents weren't paying attention and some of the kid's started playing with them, so I'm just saying that while it may be impossible to keep them in your line of sight at all times, we can keep all the Animatronic's insight." Twilight frowned at this.

"But I heard this place has a Take apart Attraction"

"I Looked into it, that Animatronic's jaws are Deactivated during the pre-selected times it's allowed to be manhandled by the kids, so in that regard, it'll be fine." before things could continue Spike snapped and made the 4 adults jump

"we're about to be at the front so you might want to get your bit's ready," he said bluntly, after a quick scuffle the group of 8 where all stamped on the wrist, the Adults stopped by the Prize counter to get Tokens and then they all took a seat at one of the tables off the right side of the Main Stage, the 4 adults all facing the Area where the Kids would be playing and the Kid's all facing the stage.

"Wow," Spike said as he looked up at the Animatronics "Those guys sure are shiny, I'll give 'em that"

"So I guess you guy's should decide on a..."

"Black Olives with Extra Cheese." The four all said in unison, after a moment of blank staring from the adults Spike added.

"We decided in line to skip the infighting."

"Isn't that what you guys were doing?" Sweetie asked, "You were all hushed up together and whispering."

"Oh...um yeah..." Applejack said awkwardly "we were arguing over Toppings and..."

"...and Judging by the tone of your voice that was a lie," Applebloom said with a determined look "But I'll forgive you if we can go play the games while we wait for you to order."

"You're free to go after you..."

"I'll take a Tea," Spike replied.

"Orange Soda," Applebloom said happily.

"I'll take a Lemonade Please," Sweetie added.

"I just want some Water." Scootaloo said with a shrug, earning several Boo's from her friends "Hey It's My Decision!" She added as she got up "Anyway if you'll give use our tokens we'll be off." The 4 adults handed their Responsibilities their Token's.

"Remember! Stay in the area! and keep together." Twilight said as she handed Spike his back, the other's mimicking her words, and with that they watched them run off to the play area.

"Wow." Rainbow said after a moment "They where Prepared."

"I'll say" Applejack agreed as a Mare came over to take their Orders.

"One Large Olive Pizza with Extra Cheese." Twilight said, "I and The one who will be sitting in front of me will take a Tea."

"Size?" The Mare asked

"Just give everyone at the table a Large," Twilight responded politely as the Mare turned to AJ

"The one sitting in front of me will take an Orange Soda, I'll take an Apple Soda." Applejack said, earning an odd look from her friends.

"Alrighty then" The Mare Replied immediately earning the same look for not questioning the Apple Soda Order.

"I'll take a Tea and the one in front of me will take a Lemonade." Rarity said, the Mare turned to Rainbow

"I'll take a Cherry Soda and the Squirt will take a Water."

"Cheapskate." The Mare said as she turned and left.

"Wha...hey! It's what she wanted!" Rainbow called back angrily.

"Ha!" Scootaloo laughed as she watched Rainbow yell at the Waiter "Totaly worth the Water." She said with a smile when a Gameover sound hit her ears, she turned to the irritated faces of Spike and Sweetie, Spike had already used up 6 of his coin's on a Claw Machine.

"I want that Puppet," Spike said angrily as he looked at a plushie of the Puppet from the Prize area.

"But that wasn't even what you were going for," Sweetie replied as Spike put in three more coins, "I thought you wanted Bonnie?"

"I've already moved it halfway across the Machine! At this point, it's just Principal that I get it!" Spike replied as he attempted to get the toy." Applebloom was putting a coin in the slot next to the animatronic of a Young colt in the play area, it's eye's lit up and it turned to her.

"Hello," It said as it offered her a Balloon, Applebloom took it and watched as the Animatronic made an odd sound as it inflated another one in its hand, after a moment a new Balloon was in its hand and it's eye's switched off. Applebloom went back to her friend and presented the Blue Balloon.

"Look what I got." She said

"Nice" Spike said as he looked at it, now using his 15'th coin on the Machine. "But not as nice as..." With a Ding, the Machine lit up and Spike cheered "Yes! Victory for me!" He said as he reached in and pulled out the Plushy. "Yeah...I don't know why I did this." Spike said as he looked at it "It's not even the one I wanted." he frowned and looked over to Scootaloo who was owning it a Skeeball, Spike sighed and gave the toy to Sweetie who squealed.

"Realy?" She asked

"I was to wrapped up into the moment." Spike said as he took it "I'm gonna go ahead and map out the area ahead." he said.

"Ok, but if you're not back by the time I get bored of this we're coming after you," Scootaloo called at the other two watched her play. Spike waved as he made his way past the Balloon Colt Animatronic who was in the middle of giving Silver Spoon a Balloon. Spike sighed as he looked at the less packed area of the kid's play place, the Ball Pit was empty he noted as he looked at it, he was about to head back to the more active part when he heard a voice.

"Hey, hey kid!" Spike turned and his Jaw Dropped as a Yellow Bonnie made his presence known to him.

"Oh wow." Spike said in shock "Now that's a nice Animatronic." Bonnie stopped and looked around "What are you..."

"Just avoiding eye's" he leaned closer "I'm Pretty Popular you know." he said with a laugh "Can't walk around all willy nilly or I'll get swamped, Any way Kido I was hoping you could come with me." he said happily "You seem Special And I'd Like to give you something special to show it." Spike thought on this for a second.

"I don't Know, Twi said I'm not supposed to leave the area, and I told my Friend's I'd be right back."

"Oh Don't worry they'll all understand when you come walking back in with me, old Bonnie here will just tell 'em all what happened and you'll be good to go. So what do ya say, Pal? Will ya Follow me?" Spike thought about it for a second.

"Oh how could I say no to an offer like that," He said happily. "Lead the way!"

"Alright, just remember to stay quiet, Don't wanna get swamped by the rest of these Br...Beautiful Children." Bonnie said as they waited for a second and moved out to the Main Area, the Rest of the Occupants busy watching the beginning of the Floorshow. The Two made their way down to a Door that read Parts and Service."

"Can I go in there?" Spike asked in confusion.

"Of Course you can" Bonnie replied as he opened the door and motioned Spike inside "So long as I'm with you, you can go anywhere." Spike walked into the room and Bonnie closed the door. "Alright stand there for a Second," Bonnie said as Spike squinted to see in the dimly lit room, Bonnie walked past Spike and farther into the room, Spike stood in awkward silence for a couple of Seconds before Bonnie came back with one of his hand's behind his back, Spike watched as he walked up to him and for the first time noticed a second smile underneath Bonnie's. "Surprise," The Purple Pony said as he raised the Knife. The Door along with the combined sounds of the Floorshow and the clapping completely covered Spike's Scream as the Knife Pierced him, Bonnie let go of it as Spike fell to his knee's crying, the Knife had been stuck up to its hilt into his Sternum, the end of it coming out his back. Bonnie leaned down and pulled the Knife out, Spike had a Brief Moment to cough up Blood before he was Stuck again, and again, by the fourth Strike he was gone, his corpse lay on the floor in a bloody mess and Bonnie leaned down and pulled him into the room. with the sound of several clicks's the Bonnie suit was removed and the Purple Unicorn who had been wearing it smiled down at Spike.

"See?" William asked the Corpse "Wasn't that a Surprise?" William avoided the Puddle of blood and used some water and a mop to clean it up a little to make sure it didn't seep out from under the door. After Checking himself for Blood Will opened the door, and locked it behind him with a click. "Now, just gotta work some magic on the Cameras and I'll be good to go." He said happily as he made his way to his post at the Security office.

After a quick match of guess what number I'm thinking of Applejack was Chosen to Gather up the smaller ones for Pizza. She found them easily, but she also found that almost all the kids of the Play area seemed to have stopped playing and where now searching.

"Are you sure he isn't in Kid's cove?" Applebloom asked.

"None of the Work ponies saw him go in" Sweetie confirmed as Feather Weight and Rumble ran to them.

"Ok, Silver Spoon said she saw him walk past her at the Balloon Colt, but she didn't see him at all when she walked to the Pin Ball Machine." Applebloom rubbed her head in frustration as Scootaloo ran up with Silverspoon and Diamond Tiara.

"Ball Pit is empty, yet surprisingly fun," Scootaloo reported before noticing AJ. "Uh-oh." She added, Sweetie and Applebloom looked over and gave a similar response.

"What happened?" AJ asked as she looked at them. The Trio looked at each other as they tried to think of a good way to answer that, in the end, Sweetie had the final say.

"Spike's Disappeared!" She sobbed "And now no pony can find him!" She waved behind her "We've looked from the edge of the Play area to Kid's cove!" Sweetie ended up being held up by her friends as she cried.

"She's Freaking out about it." Applebloom said, "As am I." Applejack sighed.

"Oh, this isn't gonna be fun."

1 hour later-

"How can he not be on any of the Cameras!" Twilight demanded as she stood Over William's head at the Security Desk.

"Look it's like I said, he showed up here." William pulled up footage of Spike walking towards the ball pit. "And then he doesn't appear in any of the Cameras!" William Shrugged "It's not my fault the owner was cheap with Camera Placement!"

"Spike can't have just disappeared!" Twilight snapped back "He's a Dragon! How did nopony see him!"

"Why are you yelling at me!?" William Demanded

"Because my Little Brother's just Disappeared and Nopony can find him!" Twilight rubbed her head as she thought of that. "Oh, Dear Celestia...How am I gonna tell my parents? how am I gonna tell Shining? How am I gonna tell Celestia?"

"Look I get your mad, but yelling at me won't help any! Maybe somepony saw him and snatched him up! I mean there is a Very clear path from there to the Front Door that's not on Camera."

"They have wrist Stamps to stop that from happening!" Twilight responded angrily.

"Those dumbasses upfront forget to check that half the time."

"But..."

"Listen, Princess!" William Interrupted "We've shut down the entire Restaurant! We've checked every Area upfront, keeping in mind that the Camera Footage proves he never went the Main Hall, the only option left is somepony Foalnapped him, now stop yelling at me, go to the Guards, and Fill a Foalnapping incident! or Draggonnapping I guess I don't know just stop yelling at me!" William made a Frustrated noise before slamming his head on the desk "I have so much shit to do, and now I have to do most of it alone due to everypony else going home early! So to you, I say good day!" Twilight glared daggers at him.

"If that wasn't the sensible thing to do I'd slap you," Twilight replied as she stormed out of the room, Will watched as she made her way to the front and waited for the Ding of the door to fill the empty Restaurant, after that he waited a few minutes before laughing himself silly.

"Oh Dear Celestia!" he laughed "What an annoying bitch," he said as he got up and walked to the Front Door, with a click the door was locked and the metal shuttered were pulled down. he walked to the Back door and locked it as well, after a quick check to make sure the Camera's where not Recording he smiled and made his move, "Alright" he said as he moved to the Part's and Service room, he lit his horn and dropped the spell he'd put on the room, instantly the stench of death hit his nose. "Yeg!" he said with a shake as he walked into the now Cleaned room, The Old Animatronic's where exactly how he's left them, he walked past the Broken Thing's to the end of the room, sitting in the Dark next to the old Foxy Animatronic sat the Body of the Dragon. Using his Magic he picked the small thing up and looked over at Foxy.

"No, they use this guy for spare parts, too risky" after deciding the same was true for the rest of the Animatronic's in the room he sighed and shook his head.

"Main room then." He walked down the Hall with the body and looked around, he considered the Balloon colt but decided not to after thinking about how often the thing was messed with, the same went with The Mangle, and as the Main-group were inspected daily to make sure they ran at top Efficiency, that left one option, the one animatronic that required the least maintenance.

"Hello, Beautiful," Willian said as he opened the box next to the Prize counter and Pulled the Tall and slender Puppet out of it's Box, It smiled emptily at him.

"Alright," William Said as he Lay the Puppet flat on it's back and placed the corpse on top of it. "Let's see just how well this Spell works." William lit his horn and Blasted the two with his spell, he watched with a smile on his face as the Dragon melted into the Puppet, after a moment nothing lay there but the Puppet, Will reached forwards, hesitated for a second, then lay his hand on it. He sat there for a solid minute before laughing. He picked up the Puppet and placed it back in its box.

"Ha!" he cheered "Black Magic you Beautiful son of a Bitch you!" he made his way back to the main hallway "Guaranteed not to leave a Trace or your money back!" he sang out as turned to the Security room "Now I just gotta loop the Video and I get to go home!" as Will did this the Puppet sat in silence in its box, it wasn't sure when it became aware it was awake, but as time passed it was sure it was awake. It looked around the Dark empty area it was in, it held up its hands and felt the sides of the metal box in silence when suddenly the area it was in lit up with two bright light. It blinked in shock before realizing it had simply opened its eye's, it looked at its hands in silence and took notice of the fact that it was in a Box, it was about to stick it's head out when it head the sound of laughter, slowly but surely it lifted itself and peeked out from the box, it watched as some Purple thing walked to the front door, it raised the metal screen and unlocked the door, and left closing the metal and locking the door behind him. Laughing all the while. The Puppet looked around the Empty room it was in and pulled itself up so it was fully standing in the box, it didn't know why, but it felt like something was wrong, almost like something was missing. The Puppet looked around at the other Animatronic's around it, as far as it could tell they were all still sleeping, but as it looked at them it frowned, it didn't know how it knew, but it knew that these were not like it. The Puppet looked around one last time before it opened its mouth and a Robotic voice rang out.

"Hello?" it asked, it was met with silence before trying again "Hello?" the Puppet pushed the lid off the box and looked around the empty Pizzeria, it was Dark, it was Silent, it was Scary, but worst of all it was Lonely. The Puppet frowned before pulling itself together and getting out of the Box, it flinched as it walked on to the floor, the sound of its step echoing through the building as it began walking, it walked around the room, past the Animatronic's on stage, past the Balloon Colt, into and back out of Kid's cove, then down the main hall, it looked at the Part's and services door. getting a shiver down its Exoskeleton Spine.

"Nope" he decided as he walked away from the door and turned to the empty room at the end of the hallway, he was about to go to it when he heard a noise from the main hall, immediately it went into panic mode and booked it full speed back to its box, the sound of metal moving was heard as it put the lid back on and peeked out, a Pony in a Purple uniform could be seen silhouetted by the sunset outside, the Puppet watched as the Pony locked the door and lowered the metal thing before heading down where the Puppet had just been, It could have called out, could have asked where it was, but it was scared, and it's fear won as it lowered itself back into the box and sat in silence for an unknown amount of time. All the while wondering where it was, and why.

Author's Note

I Don't think Spike wanted that Surprise.

Ok First and For most, I know this isn't how it happened in Fnaf, but the Fnaf Timeline hurts my head so I'm just winging it.
And Before you comment below...yes Apple Soda is a real thing.

Unintentional Scares

He didn't know how long he waited, but after what felt like forever the Puppet finally worked up the courage to peek out of its box again, Down the hall, there was now not only a tiny bit of light shining from in but also several noises, The Puppet looked left and right before removing the lid to the box. After one final look around he took a step out of his box, the noise echoed through the empty place, but it was drowned out by the fan in the Security room. The Guard himself had the tablet that let him shift through the live camera feed on the table and he himself was rummaging through a small fridge behind the desk for a snack. The Puppet looked at the light, and turned to the Animatronic's on stage, he climbed up and looked at them, immediately the three Animatronic's turned and looked back at him. The Puppet looked silently at them for a long moment before it waved its hand side to side, the Animatronic's continued staring blankly before turning back to the empty room in front of them, the Puppet watched in silence as Toy Bonnie moved his hand up and down over his guitar with no sound coming out, he then jumped back and almost fell off the stage when Toy Freddy spoke.

"Hey there boys and girls, I hope you're having a fantastic day, in fact, today is so great me and my Friends are gonna sing a song about it!" The Puppet stood in silence as Freddy raised his microphone to his mouth and opened his mouth to start singing, only to lower it back down and repeat the same line again. "Hey There boys and girls, I hope..." The Puppet shook its head as it looked at Toy Chica and the cupcake with eye's she was holding." The Puppet looked at her. as she moved her hands back and forth, all the while looking over his shoulder at the empty room.

"I guess you've all been switched to some loop mode or something." The Puppet said as it watched the trio do the same thing in an endless loop, Toy Bonnie strumming, Toy Freddy talking to the empty room, and Toy Chica...existing next to them. though by far the creepiest thing was the Cupcake with eyes. Feeling unnerved by the thing the Puppet tried turning it the other way, as soon as he Touched it something sparked out of his hands, through the Cupcake, and into Toy Chica, Immediately she twitched her head and both her arms went limp, her upper body slumped down and her beak fell to the floor along with the cupcake. The Puppet took a step back in shock and raised his hands like he was surrendering.

"Did I do that?" he asked the empty room. suddenly Toy Chica sparked again and raised back up, she blinked and her eyes locked onto The Puppet before he could properly reach Toy Chica offered him her hand.

"well hi there." She said happily "Nice to meet you." The Puppet blinked and accepted her hand, getting a shake for it, Chica looked around and looked over at Toy Freddy and Toy Bonnie doing their repetitive motions. "Hey don't be rude guy's we have a guest." She said happily, frowning when her two companions Ignored her. "um...hello?" she asked waving her hand in front of Toy Freddy's Face. The Puppet looked at his hand and walked over to Toy Freddy.

"Wake up," he demanded, poking his nose, The Two watched as Freddy's arms went limp and his upper body slumped down, The Puppet walked over to Toy Bonnie and did the same thing after a second the Three Animatronic's were all Greeting The Puppet Entusiaticly.

"Um..." Toy Freddy said as he looked around "where are all the kids at?"

"I don't know." The Puppet responded as he motioned to the room "It's just been like this ever since I woke up." The Puppet blinked. "Oh! Now that I know how to wake you guy's up I better go wake up those other two!" The Puppet sat down on the edge of the stage and jumped to the floor. his footstep's echoing as he made his way to the Kid's area.

"So?" Toy Bonnie asked as he looked around "I was sleeping?"

"I guess we all were," Freddy said as he looked around the empty room. "It's weird, I remember singing with you two...I was just about to start the song...then bam!" He waved around "The Room's empty!" Toy Freddy turned to his Friends and found that Toy Chica was now getting off the stage.

"Hey, where are you going!?" Toy Bonnie asked.

"To go find the Kids." She responded the two looked at each other.

"Now Why didn't I think of that?" Toy Freddy asked as he and Toy Bonnie followed suit. It was at this time that the Security Guard was wiping his hands off to get back to work. He flipped to the Main Stage and found it empty.

"Wha?" he asked after looking at it in silence for a moment, he flipped to one of the Party room's and jumped when he saw a Beakless Chica looking at him through the Camera, he flipped to another one and found Toy Freddie and the Puppet standing next to The Balloon Colt. He looked up from his Tablet sweating and dropped it, standing Directly in front of him was Toy Bonnie.

"High there," Toy Bonnie said, The Security Guard Fainted. Toy Bonnie walked over to him and frowned

"Well, now Mr.Exoskeleton, no need to be so rude and ignore me like that." He said as he scratched his head. "Oh well who am I to Judge, Poor guy probably wasn't expecting to be caught naked." He laughed as he left the room. "Have fun playing dead."

"What was that Bonnie?" Toy Chica asked as she peeked out of one of the Party Room's "I just found some weird thing in the room looking at me."

"I Found an Exoskeleton but that's about it." he replied with a shrug "No Kid's tho." The Two made their way back to the Others, they Found Toy Freddy talking to Balloon Colt who seemed Distraught.

"What's up?" Toy Bonnie asked.

"Poor guy can only say one word," Freddy said with a shake of his head.

"Hello." Balloon Colt sighed as he got off his Balloon stand.

"We found an Exoskeleton and some weird thing on the ceiling but that's about..."

"I Found another one!" Toy Chica cheered pointing to a Camera looking at the group "There all over the place!" The Entire Group jumped as a loud Garbling sound hit them and they turned to The Puppet, Next to him came the Mangle.

"Hello." Balloon Colt said in shock.

"Oh wow." Toy Chica said as The Mangle looked at her

"Hello." The Mangle said in a Garbled voice "It's nice to meet you, I don't suppose you've seen the rest of my body have you?" Its Second head shot up and Looked at Toy Bonnie in silence.

"You have two heads." Toy Bonnie noted, "That's kind of cool."

"But only one eye for each." Toy Chica added, "So that's gotta suck." Meanwhile, in the office, the Guard, who had gotten back up, Was looking at the ordeal while talking of the Phone.

"...and now they're all just standing there looking at each other!" He said in a Panic. "What do I do?"

"relax" The Voice on the Phone said "Listen I know that you know about the old story passed around that they'll stuff you in a suit, and while I can't disprove that, I can say with certainty that all you need to do is go to Part's and Service and on the Shelf Directly next to the door there should be an old Freddy head, it's been hollowed out, no wires no nothing, just grab that and keep it on, and just avoid eye contact."

"Yeah...yeah ok." The Guard said as he shakily got up, "After checking to see if the Animatronic's were still in the Kid's area he booked it to Part's and Service. he started unlocking the door. The Animatronic's all heard this and turned to him, immediately Toy Chica and Toy Bonnie individually covered The Mangle's eye's while Toy Freddy covered both Balloon colt and the Puppet's eyes.

"Oh wow." The Puppet said with an awkward laugh "that's gotta be super Embarrassing."

"Hello." The Balloon Colt agreed.

"I'd say!" Toy Freddy said as the Exoskeleton opened the door and ran inside, closing the door behind him. "Poor guy probably wasn't expecting us to wake up but still, what if the kids had seen him like that, sure we don't know where they are, but they could come out any second!."

"Oh, I bet he's been super lonely." Toy Chica said, "He's probably been awake for a while."

"He was kind of rude to me, he was just sitting in the lit up the room and what did he do when I said Hi to him? He Ignored me and played dead!" Toy Bonnie shook his head, the Group watched as a Freddy opened the door, closed it, and ran back to the Lightroom.

"Oh my...He's a Freddy and he was doing that!" Toy Freddy said as he moved his hands "Now that's just wrong! I'm going to go have a word with him." Toy Freddy marched down the hallway in a huff.

"Ok, I've got the mask on now what?" The Security guard asked, still shaking.

"Alright," The Pony on the other side of the line said, "If the rumors are true, then at 6 they should all go back to their proper places for the day, it's already 5:58 so you just gotta wait 2 minutes and you should be good."

"Yeah, it'll beeeeeeeee." The Security Guard dropped the phone as he watched Toy Freddy walk down the hall "Please no."

"I wanna have a Word with you, Freddy." Toy Freddy said "You ought to be ashamed of yourself, walking around in your Exoskeleton like that! I hope you have a good reason for it." The Security guard, still shaking, said the first thing he could think of.

"My suit is off getting cleaned, all I had to wear was this old head." He said, Toy Freddy looked at him then smiled.

"Oh, I see, my bad then," Toy Freddy waved "but next time, maybe keep that head-on." He added as he left. "Alright, nothing too bad." Toy Freddy said as he walked to the group "His suit's being cleaned, that..." Suddenly all the Animatronics stood up straight. and began moving.

"Wait I'm not in control of my feet anymore!" The Puppet said as his feet forced him to walk back to the Box.

"Hello." Balloon Colt said as he stood at his Balloon stand,

"Oh dear, guess It back to the cove for me." Mangle said as it waved at The Puppet, who waved back as he got back into the Box."

"I get it!" Toy Freddy said as he got back on stage "The Kid's must be coming!"

"Oh I hope so," Bonnie said as he took his place on stage and picked up his Guitar."

"Hey!" Toy Chica said angrily "Why didn't you guys tell me my beak fell out?" Chica said as she put it back in and picked up her Cupcake. All the Animatronic's who could see watched in silence as an Adult Pony ran at full speed out of the main hallway, opened up the Metal curtain thing, and Unlocked the Front door, closing it behind him.

"Wait where did that guy come from!?" Toy Bonnie demanded, "You said you checked all the room's Chica!"

"One of them was locked!" Toy Chica Responded angrily.

"Stop Arguing!" Mangle called "You'll scare the Children."

"They're not here yet." Toy Freddy called back.

"We don't know when they will be!" What if they come in and you're arguing!" The Puppet responded, his voice muffled by the Box.

"Hello" Balloon Boy added.

"Alright." Toy Freddy said, "Let's all just be quiet, and do our jobs." The other's all agreed and stood in silence waiting for the Kid's to come, meanwhile across the town the Mane 6 were all gathered together.

"Alright," Twilight said, her mane a mess and her eye's red "I'm going to spending the Day at Freddy's, I'll be keeping an eye out for the Foalnapper and see if I can catch him in the act, Pinkie, you and Fluttershy are with me, Rarity I need you to stay here and tell the Princess where I am if she manages to get out of day court and come aid us, and Finally Applejack I need you and Rainbow to Sweep through the town, Question anypony and everypony, somepony had to have seen something!"

"Got it," Applejack said with a nod as she and Rainbow headed out, Rarity was crying on a couch, next to her sat Sweetie who seemed annoyed.

"Rarity I'm sure nopony's gonna try and Foalnap me if I just go outside, Applebloom still gets to go out."

"Applebloom is being shadowed by Big Mac for the day" Rarity responded with a sniff "And You have to stay with me, and I have to stay here!" Twilight left the Siblings to their squabbling and headed out with Fluttershy and Pinkie.

"I'm sure he'll be fine," Fluttershy said nervously, "I'm also sure he's probably frightened out of his mind, and maybe not being feed right, and what if he's not being kept in a warm and sanitary spot, he could get sick, or..." As Fluttershy rambled on in slowly rising and lowering Panic Pinkie was Jumping high in the air, every other jump she had a Telescope and did a full circle twist before falling and jumping back up with a Megaphone.

"SPIKE YELL IF YOU CAN HEAR ME!" She screamed out before falling down and repeating her actions. Twilight looked around at everyone they passed, using a scanning spell to scan them for any trace of Spike's presence. After a 15 minute walk, the Trio were met with the odd sight of all of the Employees hunched outside looking at a Tablet. once they got close they heard what they were saying.

"...is it safe?" one of them asked.

"They've never done anything before." The Mare who had been their waiter the other day said as she looked at the Tablet.

"That's cause they're not supposed to do walk and talk freely!" A Pony in a Guards Unifrom said back, his eye's red and twitching "I don't care what anypony says I don't get paid enough for this! I'm not going back in there!" The Guard threw his hat on the ground and took off his jacket and dropped it. "I quit!" He said as he stormed past the Princess "I'm moving to Applelossa!" They heard him mutter "Fuck this place." the Trio watched him walk past without even noticing them.

"What's happening?" Pinkie asked the Group as they Approached.

"Oh...the Animatronic's come alive at night I guess." The Mare said as he looked at the Tablet "That's kind of cool I guess."

"I'm sorry what?" Twilight asked, having been scanning the group for Spike's Presence. "Did you say..."

"Alive." The Mare said with a shrug "You know, talking, walking, Arguing, Scaring the shit out of the guard that kind of thing. Dammit, now we need a new Night Guard." She added as she handed the Princess the Tablet and Picked up the Uniform. The Trio looked at the screen and saw the Animatronic's standing in the Child area, and watched as they turned and the Three from the Stage cover the eyes of the other three.

"What in the name of Tartarus?" Twilight asked, earning no response from her friends. One of the Employees asked for the Tablet and lead the three inside, having been told by their manager that they were now to be let in until the Foalnapper was caught. The Trio sat down and looked up at the Toy Animatronics as they stood in silence. At first, it seemed they were just as they had been yesterday until Twilight caught Toy Bonnie's eye's quickly darting towards the door then back to looking ahead. Fluttershy looked around and saw the Balloon Colt had turned its head facing backward to look at them, it's head snapped back the right way once he realized she had seen him. Pinkie decided to take the Initiative and walked up to the stage.

"Hey did you guys see anything weird yesterday," she asked casually The Robots ignored her and continued waiting in silence.

"What are they doing?" Twilight asked as she and Fluttershy watched them, every now and again one of the three would dart their eye's to the door then look back in front of them in silence, as the Three looked around it became apparent the Balloon Colt was doing the same thing, as he was once again spotted with a Backwards head. the Animatronic in Kid's cove seemed content to lay down and not do anything, It wasn't until they walked past the Prize counter that Twilight noticed she was being watched, the eye's of the Puppet was following her, their light just visible from under the lid of its box, Twilight approached and got on her knee's. the Puppet stared at her hard, nothing was said as they sat there in silence. until the employee who managed the counter interrupted the staring contest.

"I hate to break it to you." He said with a shrug "But if you're trying to question them you're wasting your time, they care about one thing, and one thing only." He said as he got behind the counter, "And that's making little one's smile." Twilight looked up at him.

"Well, then I'll just stay until closing time and..."

"That won't work," He said as he leaned on his counter "They're glitched, they look at you now and see an Adult, they look at you at night and see an Endoskeleton without its Costume on, and as that's against the rules... so your not likely to see the light of day again if they catch you at night" Twilight looked at the employe in silence, who shrugged. "Hey, it's a risk of the job, we all sighed the legal waivers." The Employee pulled out a small remote and pressed it. instantly the Box filled up with music, the Puppet's eye's disappeared as he leaned back and listened.

"What does this Animatronic do anyway?" Twilight asked, "I didn't see it out yesterday."

"The Puppet pick's one kid during the day and gives them a present, free of charge, it happens once a day, randomly and without warning." The Employ leaned behind the counter and picked up a purple box. "This is the Present, you can get anything, from a whistle to a coupon for your choice of anything behind the counter." The Employee smiled before shaking his head "Anyway If you'd be so Kind I need to give him his gift to give." Twilight walked back to where she had been sitting to tell Fluttershy and Pinkie what she's just been told. The Employee readjusted the box's lid and pressed a button, the Lid raised up and the Puppet came up with his hands together, the Employee placed the Box and lowered The Puppet back in the box. The Puppet looked at it as it sat down in its box, and peeked out, looking at the door and waiting for the kids to come.

A Gift and a New Friend

Twilight was staring hard at the door, the Band was playing behind her as her friends looked at the Kid's area with shaking heads

"Really Big Mac?" Pinkie asked, "How did she get away from you?" She asked the air as she and Fluttershy watched Applebloom take a Balloon from the Balloon Colt.

"Hello," it said as it refiled the Balloon's and continued looking around, Applebloom left with it and looked around the place.

"Alright, So what if Spike got Foalnapped, what kind of moron commit's the same crime in the same place?" She asked nopony imparticular. "Now I just need someone to do stuff with."

"Do what with?" A voice asked, She jumped and turned to her Former bully Silver Spoon, who had gotten a Balloon from Balloon Colt and had overheard her.

"Oh Silver! You scared me" Applebloom said with relief "This place was fun yesterday, but with Spike disappearing I'm kind of scared I might disappear."

"Then why'd you come back?" Silver asked as she and Applebloom began walking to the Pinball machines

"Are you kidding me!?" Applebloom asked, "I've got like 20 bit's worth of coin's still!" She said holding up her bag from the day before "Non-Refundable, I can't let my Sister's money go to waste just cause one bad thing happened." Applebloom stood next to the Pinball game and watched as Silver played, she looked around and smiled "This is a way better time to be here" She added happily "There are a lot fewer ponies here today."

"Oh yeah?" Silverspoon asked, now only half listening as she tried to beat her own high score "That's cool." Applebloom shook her head as she watched Silverspoon play a little longer.

"Alright, well have fun," Applebloom said as she left Silverspoon to the game. unbeknownst to Silverspoon, she was now the only kid on the far side of the Play area, as the Puppet's Music had started speeding up and the Prize counter Employee called out that it was about to give a free Gift. Applebloom looked at the crowd that had come to wait for the Puppet's gift. She looked over at the Claw Machine and had an Idea. "Spike has to come back eventually right?" She thought as she looked into it, on the far side sat the Bonnie Plushy he had tried to get, only to be distracted by his own failer. "and I'm sure he'll appreciate this when he does get back." She decided as she put three coins into the machine. Meanwhile, Silverspoon lost the last ball and grumbled angrily

"So close, am I..." She turned to where Applebloom had been and frowned "oops, got too into the game again." it took a second to realize she was standing by herself now, she was about to go join the crowd when a voice hit her ears.

"Hey, Kid," it said, she turned and fell slack-jawed when she was who was talking to her standing in the Ball pit area, a Yellow Bonnie who was waving at her. Silverspoon spun on the spot and walked towards him, he looked around.

"what are you doing?" She asked

"Just avoiding eye's" he leaned closer "I'm Pretty Popular you know." he said with a laugh "Can't walk around all willy nilly or I'll get swamped, Any way Kido I was hoping you could come with me." he said happily "You seem Special And I'd Like to give you something special to show it."

"Really?" Silverspoon asked in awe "I thought that's what the Puppet did."

"Oh he just hand's out random stuff from the counter, I'm the only one here giving what I'm gonna give you! So what do ya say, Pal? Will ya Follow me?" Silverspoon eye's sparkled behind her eyes as she nodded.

"I'd love to!" She said happily as she followed him into the Main Hall.

Applebloom gave a huff as she watched the toy fall out of the hook. "Agh!" She angrily huffed as she turned to pull more coin's out of her bag, she looked up just in time to see Silverspoon walk into the Main Hall with a ridiculous smile on her face. Applebloom raised an eyebrow and moved around the crowd to look down the hall, making it just in time to see her walking into the Parts and Service room, a pair of eye's flashed at her in the dark as the door closed. Applebloom frowned and looked over at the Adults table, after a moment she noticed the Trio and ran to them.

"Hi, Applebloom." Pinkie said, "I was a wonder when...what's up?" Pinkie's tone changed when she noticed the panicked look on Appleblooms face

"I was with my Friend Silverspoon, and left to go play a different game, and turned in time to see her walking down the Main Hall, and I was just able to see her going into the Parts and service room, I saw somepony tall close the door behind her from the inside."

"Inside the...but isn't that..." Pinkie frowned and waved her hand in front of Twilight's face.

"Pinkie not now I'm...what?" She asked seeing the worry on Pinkie's face.

"One of Applebloom's friends just got taken into the Part's and Service room, by an Adult." Twilight took a moment to take that in. "But I was told that area was Dangerous, heck it's...." Twilight's frown turned hard and dark "...the only room I never checked..." Twilight got up and marched down the hall, she turned towards the Security room and noted that the same guy was on duty.

"Hey!" She called to William, who looked up with a bored look.

"Oh boy." she heard him say "What now?" He asked as he put the Tablet down and got up "You wanna look through eight hours of Camera Feed-in fast forward's again?"

"I want you to unlock this door."

"Can't do that" Will responded as he took his seat again "It's Dangerous in there."

"I just got a Report that a Kid was just taken in there," Twilight responded, moving down the hall to him, Fluttershy and Pinkie close behind.

"Well I'll have you know" Will responded smugly "That I have...the...only..." Will's smug face melted off as he dug into his pockets, they watched as he stood up and emptied them both "...I had the only Key" he amended with a frown. He looked at the Princess "Um...here, look through the footage, I'm gonna go see who stole my key." He ran past the trio and full speed and turned the corner. Twilight picked up the Tablet and watched to footage, at first nothing, then the Trio watched as nothing seemed to happen, at least until Twilight noticed what was wrong.

"This footage is being looped," She said as she watched the empty hallway, "look at the Timestamp" She added, "We should be seeing us walking down the hall." The Trio walked back down the hall and noticed something on the roof that wasn't on the Camera, A Blue Balloon was floating against the ceiling. Twilight looked down in silence. "Something is really wrong." she looked up as Will can running up with a bemused expression on his face.

"Ok...so my keys are gone." He held up a second one "Had to go take the Emergency key so let's move fast, I'm not getting paid for every second I have it." Will Unlocked the door and turned on the spot "So just don't touch anything or go into the room! I'll be right back!" Will called back as he booked it to put the ket back. Meanwhile, the Puppet's music had stopped and he was slowly rising out of the Box, he opened his eye's and looked around at the swarm of children around him, he looked at them in silence, each one looking like a Bundle of happiness before him, He looked at them all in silence when he felt like one was sticking out to him, in the middle of the group stood a Red Maned earth pony, she was tapping back and forth, her glasses barely staying on as she hoped she'd be picked, the Puppet smiled and Placed his hand on top of her head. the other kids gave sounds of Distress at not being picked before scattering,

"Oh my gosh!" Twist said in Excitement "I got picked!" The Puppet moved his hand from her head and offered her the Prize box. she took it with joy and popped off the lid. "YES!" She screeched as she pulled out a Bronze Ticket "All you can Carry Candy Ticket!" She Jumped for joy and ran to the Prize counter, The Puppet smiled and began going back into the box when he saw Will running through the Dining area, while the Puppet continued descending its face was frozen, its eye's had gone dark as it stared at the Will run to the back.

"It was you," He whispered as the lid closed above him. "You did this to me."

Meanwhile, Twilight handed PInkie the Tablet and opened the door, at once she reached back, as did Pinkie and Fluttershy, the unmistakable stench of Death hit their noses, the only thing visible in the Darkroom where a Pair of Bloody and broken Glasses.

"I can't believe this!" Twilight said as she sat in the now empty Restaurant, the Girls and Applebloom were the only ones left, Pinkie was sitting next to Applebloom, who was crying into Pinkie's shirt at the loss of not just one of her friends, but of two of them. Fluttershy had her head down and was saying nothing. Twilight got up with a breath and walked down the hall, Several Guards moved out of the way as she walked onto the scene.

"...and then the Princess asks for my key's and they were just gone!" Will was saying to one of the Guards "I don't know who stole 'em or who tampered with the Camera's but they only did it to the one in the Main Hall...oh speaking of the Princess." He added noting the Princess walking past them. "...anyway as I was saying.." Twilight walked into the room and looked around it, an assortment of tools were in the room, Along with what she assumed were the 4 original mascots of the old restaurant. in the middle of the room was a chalk outline of where Silverspoon's body had been, she looked were the small body had been, she had seen it and it would haunt her for the rest of Eternity, along with the knowledge that Spike had most certainly met the same fate, a Magical scan of the room had proved that he had been here in the last two day's, and hadn't left alive.

"I'm sorry" She whispered to the empty room "I'm so sorry, I won't let this go unpaid for, I will find who did this, and I will make sure they meet an end worse than your's, I'm...I'm so sorry." tear's rolled down her face as she sat silently in the empty room.

The Puppet watched as the Last of the Investigative team left the building, the Night Guard on shift bidding them goodnight as he locked the door and closed the metal shudder.

"Oh boy," he said with a head shake "What a day, and now for the worst fucking night of my life," he added as he made his way down the hall. The Puppet got out of his box and moved to the hall, The ones on the Main stage watched him go.

"That poor kid," Toy Freddy said with a Robotic sob "I feel so empty, a child dead! in our Restaurant! oh, the indignity of it all! What if the children never come back!" as Toy Freddy sobbed his two companions tried to cheer him up, the Mangle was following the Puppet's lead and moved to the Crime scene, Closely followed by Balloon colt. The Puppet looked down the hall and looked at his two helpers.

"Hey do me a favor and tell me what you see in that chair down there." The two looked down the hall then shot back undercover.

"Oh my!" The Mangle Garbled "Not that naught Exoskeleton again!"

"Hello" Balloon boy agreed, the Puppet frowned and looked at what was clearly, to him, the Security Guard.

"Hmm...do me a favor, go scare him."

"Scare him!" Mangle asked, "Why?"

"He's the one misbehaving, after all, it's against the rules to be out of costume!" The Mangle looked at Balloon Colt and they both nodded

"Ok!"

"Hello"

"Alright, Mangle you go left, Balloon Colt go Right." use the vent's in the Party Room's to give him a good scare."

"Got it!"

"Hello" the Two split up and went to the separate Party Room's, the Puppet walked to the Part's and Service room and waiting for his cue.

"Alright Main three on stage." The Guard said "So far so good...Balloon Colt is gone as is The Mangle, and The Puppet's out of its box...Great." The Colt rubbed his head and picked up his Flashlight, The Puppet saw this and lit up his eyes. The Guard stopped as he saw the lights. "And there's the Pupp.."

"Hello." A Voice said. The Guard blinked and looked to his left, standing next to him was Balloon Colt.

"ARGH!!" The Guard screeched throwing his flashlight at the Animatronic and putting the Freddy mask on his head. The Puppet took his cue and stuck his finger in the lock, with several sparks and a cracking sound the lock was destroyed. Balloon Colt rubbed his face angrily and turned to leave, picking up the Flashlight as an afterthought so it couldn't be used for evil again. The Guard watched as Balloon colt left via the left vent.

"Oh, thank..." The Guard reached for and found the absence of his flashlight "..crap," he whispered as he lowered himself in his chair, the sound of Mangle's Garbling filling the room, The Guard held the top of the mask down and proceeded to hide under his desk, shaking with fear.

The Puppet smiled and opened the door, he walked in and closed it behind him, the room was full of the sound of crying, crying that the Puppet suspected only he could hear. he followed the sound and found a small Pony, seemingly made of translucent light, crying in the corner. the Puppet leaned down and looked at her.

"don't cry," he said earning its attention, it looked over at him, still crying, "You're not alone here, I'll help you." The Puppet offered the crying child his hand, she sniffed and took it. the Puppet got back up, leaning downward so as to keep his hand in the little girl's grasp.

"It's so cold." Silverspoon said through her tears, "What did I do wrong?" She asked through her tears "What did I do?" the Puppet frowned and picked her up, pulling her into a hug.

"You didn't do anything wrong little one." He whispered as he slowly rocked her back and forth in his arm's letting her cry into his shoulder "I'm sorry I couldn't save you then, but I can save you now, I have a Gift for you. Silverspoon sniffed as The Puppet walked to the center of the room and set her down, "Would you Like to pick one?" The Puppet asked pointing to the Broken Animatronic's around them, "You can have whichever one you like." After some crying and sniffing she pointed to the Broken Bonnie.

"He...he used a Bonnie to trick me, but...but he was a fake." She sobbed as the Puppet picked her up.

"I know, don't worry." The Puppet placed her on top of Bonnie's head and slowly lowered her into him. after a moment the Puppet moved his hand's and she was gone. he Waited a moment before one of the eye's light up and Withered Bonnie looked around.

"Where am I?" He asked, "What happened?" The Puppet smiled

"You were sleeping but It's time to get up now." The Puppet took a step back as he got up and looked at his hand.

"I'm...I'm Bonnie?" He asked The Puppet, who gave him a side look

"Do you remember who you were?" He asked.

"I...yes...but no." Withered Bonnie said as he scratched his head "I...I remember my name, but all I can remember is...." Bonnie stood in silence.

"Him?" The Puppet asked.

"The Purple guy," Bonnie said angrily looking over at the Puppet. "He did this to me!"

"He did this to us." The Puppet corrected "The other Animatronic's here aren't like you and me, they've always been who they are, but for now, until he is brought down, you and I must do what we can to...prevent this from happening again." The Puppet held out his hand to Bonnie.

"Will you help me?" He asked, Bonnie didn't have a face, but if he did he'd be smiling, he took The Puppet's hand, and for one Moment, a Small Filly and Dragon stood in the room with them before they shook.

"Alright, then my friend, time to introduce you to the band." for the next hour The Puppet and Withered Bonnie stood in the room, workshopping their story, Once everything was worked out The Puppet opened the door and looked down the hall, judging from the sound, the Guard was still hiding. He Walked down the Main Hall with Withered Bonnie walking a little behind him.

"OK!" The Puppet called "Everyone to me, please! I have an Announcement." Toy Chica and Mangle left the Arcade Machine they had been playing, Toy Freddy, Toy Bonnie, and Balloon Colt leaving their Freddy Fazbear themed Card Game. "Alright, so as you've may have noticed I had been busy at work since the night began." The Other's all agreed that The Puppet had gone missing for a while. "Well you see, as you know I woke all of you up very easily, however, after going into Part's and Service I noticed a few other's that, for the life of me I couldn't Wake up, but, I am happy to announce, That I have successfully woken up a new member of our gang.

"Really!" Toy Freddy asked, "Well what are you waiting for, Introduce us already!" The Puppet stepped to the side as Withered Bonnie walked into the light. He was met with Silence before Toy Bonnie yelled out

"I HAVE A BROTHER!?" He screamed running into and hugging Withered Bonnie.

"Hey there." Withered Bonnie said, waving his one hand "I'm Withered Bonnie, nice to meet you all." The Puppet took several steps back as Withered Bonnie was surrounded by the others all trying to get a Handshake, The Puppet smiled and watched as Withered Bonnie left to join the card game.

"Wanna play Winner?" Mangle garbled to him.

"Heck yeah!" He responded as he Joined Mangle and Toy Chica at the Arcade game, the Guard was now sitting in his seat, watching this unfold.

"One of the Old one's are walking around now...Well, that's just fucking great.

Author's Note

Why come up with a new line for the bad guy? If I were a Serial Killer dressed up as an Animatronic Mascot (Wow what a weird sentence) I'd re-use old line's too, who's gonna notice? The kid you killed last time

Side note: I am not a Serial Killer dressed up as an Animatronic Mascot so what do I know.

The Key Hunt

The Puppet peeked around the corner, looking at the Security guard, it had been fun playing games at first, but as it turned out the games weren't made for thick fingers so Mangle could only play with one hand, The Puppet's hand's had limited motor skills, and Toy Chica was a sore winner so losing repeatedly to her had lost its charm fast, Withered Bonnie was still enjoying himself, as much as one who had just been murdered could anyway. The Security Guard was flipping through the camera at full speed. He seemed to be in a cold sweat as he went wild, Mangle had lost interest in the playroom first and was now hanging in one of the Party rooms in loud silence. Toy Chica was still playing arcade games by herself. The Two Bonnies were playing go fish on the stage, Balloon boy was walking back and forth from Party room to Party room, Toy Freddy was backstage, trying to get the music to play so they at least had an Auditory distraction, and The Puppet was staring the Night Guard down.

He didn't know why, as he had no reason to, but he really hated him, more than likely cause he'd been killed by the Purple guy, he knew who the murder was, but he had no proof. No matter how hard he looked he couldn't find the Golden Bonnie suit, nothing seemed to be wrong with any of the Cameras now, and the Investigation team hadn't found anything that was in any way proof of anything. All they had was a knife from the kitchen with no Figure prints or any trace of Magic having been used on it.

In fact, there was one single thing that was missing, and while it wouldn't prove anything on its own, and was now useless due to the Puppet breaking the lock, but the Key to the Spare Part's room was the only thing unaccounted for and Since the door wasn't locked with Magic it proved at least one thing, there was no way in Tartarus that a guy in a Bonnie suit could use a key while in the suit, and all the employees had been scanned before leaving, with meant that either the Purple guy had teleported out of the building or had hidden it extremely well, and since he was now going to be scanned every time he entered or left, there was a good reason to believe that if it wasn't here, it wasn't coming back.

"Alright, time to hunt for something that may or may not even be here, and if it is here and I don't find it tonight, I'm positive he'll at the very least clean, or dispose of it, by the time I can look again." The Puppet walked down the corridor, his footsteps no longer echoing so clearly what with the Mangle's Garbling in the area and Balloon Colt constantly saying Hello. he walked into one of the Party room's and looked around, this one was empty, with the exception of Balloon colt occasionally running into it, saying Hello, then running back out. It wasn't an ideal place to start the search, as there was little chance it was in here, but it was the Party room's or the Security room, and he didn't want to give the Guard a heart attack...yet. He Checked under the Table cloth, moved every plate, checked under every hat, and even tried the wall decoration's, finding nothing out of the ordinary, he moved to the next room, and the next one after that, The fourth room was the one Mangle was chilling in, it looked at the Puppet and waved.

"Come to join me?" It Garbled "It's quite Peaceful in here."

"Oh, no I'm just looking for a key."

"Hello." Balloon boy said as he walked into the room then walked back out.

"What is he doing?" The Puppet asked.

"I Told him the Party rooms were lonely so now he's saying hello to all of them repeatedly." The Mangle Garbled back "He's sweet but annoying as hell." Behind them, They Heard the Guard cheer loudly.

"Yes! I Found the Spare" the Hallway filled with the light of the Security guard's flashlight and they heard him scream and turn the light off, after a few seconds Withered Bonnie walked into the room.

"I think I scared him." He said with a wave "The Toys are trying to beat Toy Chica in a game."

"That's not gonna happen anytime soon." The Puppet replied "I'm just looking for the key to the Parts and service room.

"That's an odd thing to be looking for, isn't the lock broken now?"

"Yes, but it's the only thing not accounted for, and if we're lucky and find it, there's a good chance we'll figure out who killed y...the Child." The Puppet stood in awkward Silence Before Mangle chipped in

"I'm in!" It Garbled "Let's find that Dastardly no good doer and bring him to justice!" it Garbled as it swung its head around. "Where would it be?" It asked

"Well...it's either in this room or the Security room since a Security Guard committed the crime." The Puppet felt and hand on his face and the Mangle made him look at it.

"How do you know it was a guard?"

"Um...Withered Bonnie saw the entire thing..." The Puppet said awkwardly.

"It just happened so fast, and before I knew it..." Bonnie cut off as he stared into the wall, The Puppet wince slightly before Mangle moved past him and patted Bonnie on the back.

"Oh Bonnie, I'm so sorry you had to witness such a horrible event, oh and your poor friends in the room that still haven't woken up yet, oh you must feel so alone without them."

"I don't remember my friends well, but I know I miss them," Bonnie replied as the Puppet began searching, after a full search he was able to confirm the Key was either in the office or not in the building, he turned to his two companions and jumped at the ordeal in front of him, the room was now hosting all the Animatronic's in the Building.

"....so if we find the key, the Puppet can figure out who did it."

"Genius!" Toy Freddy said "Puppet you are incredible, so did you find it or..."

"Nope, it's either in the Security office, or it's been disposed of." The Puppet said with a shrug, so now I have to search the office, but we have the nagging problem of..."

"Oh yeah, that Exoskeleton is still in there isn't he?" Toy Bonnie asked, the Security guard staring hard at the Camera was watching them in the Party room in silence.

"We really need to do something about that guy." Toy Chica Agreed, "Costume being cleaned or not, he should either stay in part's and service, or put on a spare, but now he's just sitting there out in the open."

"Maybe we should just force him to wear one?" The Mangle asked.

"No, him flashing that light at us will mess with our facial scanners, and if he's wearing that spare Freddy head he's technically following the rules so we can't get him."

"Wait...facial scanners?" Withered Bonnie asked, "You have facial scanners."

"Well yeah, that way we can tell if somepony is a criminal." Toy Bonnie responded happily, before blinking. "Do...do you not have Facial scanners?"

"Bonnie I don't even have a face." Withered Responded, "I don't think I even technically have eye's now that I think about it, whatever you guy's have, I probably don't."

"I don't think I have a Facial Scanner." The Puppet said as he peeked out and looked at the Night Guard. "I'm technically only supposed to come out of my box once a day, so they probably didn't have it installed into me." The Puppet said as he looked at the large group in front of him. OK, Let's spread out here, Toy Bonnie, You and Balloon Colt go to the other party room's vent and take turns going in and out of the office, Toy Chica, you and Mangle do the same in this room, Toy Freddy, you and Withered Bonnie take the hallway, I'm going to climb on you, Freddy and you'll take me into the room, once I'm in leave and let the other's distract him, While I search the place Keep the...Exoskeleton distracted, I'll signal you when I'm done and one of you come to get me out, Got it?"

"Got it." They responded and The Puppet watched as his team split up, and waited in the room before having an afterthought.

"Hey Toy Chica!" He called to get her attention "Try taking your beak off before going in, don't want it falling off in the vent and getting dirty."

"Oh! Good call." Toy Chica said, doing this that, she turned back to him with a smile, and The Puppet nodded

"Oh yeah, you look great." He said as she got placed her beak on the table and crawled into the vent "If not slightly terrifying." The Puppet looked out the door and waited a moment, Toy Freddy moved forward and waited for his cue, The Puppet moved and got on his back as he moved

"Ready?" Freddy asked as he walked forward.

"Just go into the room and wait for me to get off." Toy Freddy walked into the room and the Guard shoved the Mask on at once, Toy Freddy stood awkwardly, the Guard was staring right at him, and there was no way for the Puppet to move unnoticed.

"Come on weird powers." The Puppet thought as he moved one of his hands and pointed up at the lights "Don't fail me now." The Puppet shot a small spark up at the light and the room filled with noise and the light's flicked off, immediately the Puppet dropped off Freddy and got in front of the Desk, His job done Toy Freddy turned and left, the Light's came back on and the noise went away once Toy Freddy was out, The Puppet sat awkwardly in front of the desk as the Guard clicked away on his tablet.

"OK, just gotta be quiet." The Puppet thought as he began moving, Balloon Colt watched this happen as he moved into the room and said loud and Clear

"Hello" The Guard Immediately put on the Freddy mask and hugged his spare Flashlight protectively.

"I hate you." The Guard said angrily as he stared Balloon Colt down, taking this opportunity The Puppet crawled behind the guard and looked in one of the opened drawers the Guard had found the spare Flashlight, it was empty, The Puppet closed it and opened the one below it, it was full of a thick layer of random junk, the Puppet looked at it hopelessly for a moment before he closed it and moved before the guard saw him.

"Dammit, I can't do this with the guard here, I could scare the guy, but I feel like he'd bop me with the flashlight if I got close, and the other animatronic's might attack if they think I'm being attacked...And there's no way that would end well."
As the Puppet sat there thinking the other's watch.

"What's he doing?" Mangle Garbled.

"I don't think he can search the office without causing a lot of noise." Toy Chica said as she watched him an Idea formed "Wait...noise! Mangle your Garble can cover up any noise!" The Mangle looked at her then smiled.

"Alrighty then," The Mangle said as it slithered down the Vent. The Puppet was trying to think of a plan when Mangle's Garble filled the room, The Puppet watched as the Guard put the mask and watched as the Mangle walked up to the desk and moved to the opposite side of the Guard, who kept his eye's on it at all times, this ended with the Guard's back to the Puppet, who opened the Junk drawer and dug into it, there was a lot of things in it, but nothing metal, the Puppet crawled in front of the desk and pointed to the opposite side, The Mangle moved there and the Guard followed, not daring to take his eye's off it. The Puppet opened the top Drawer and found nothing of interest, he was about to open the second drawer when thing's when wrong. the Guard had started to back his chair away from the Mangle and ended up tapping his hand on the Puppet's head. The Guard froze and so did the Puppet. The Puppet look up and the Guard looked down, Immediately the Guard Screamed and struck out with the Flashlight, hitting the Puppet over the head and knocking him to the floor, The Mangle reacted on instinct and let out a Caterwaul of a scream before fling itself forward and chomping down on the Guards' head, the Guard screamed as he tried to pull away, The Guard fell back on the floor and the Mangle spat the Freddy mask out, it looked down at the guard, who had laying unconscious on the floor, the Mangle turned to the Puppet who was getting back up.

"I'm OK." He said as he looked over at the Unconscious guard, the Mangle's teeth had managed to cut him in several places, but he'd live. The Puppet was helped up by the Mangle and he opened the last Drawer, "Pencil's and a note pad." he sighed in despair, I guess after all that happened yesterday it would be stupid to keep the key on the premises, but I hoped it would be here, he looked at the unconscious guard and patted Mangle on the back. "That's for the save my friend." he said as the two left the office, immediately he was swarmed by the others making sure he was OK, "I'm fine, I'm fine, now let's get moving, it's almost 6 so let's just move to our places and be done with tonight, mission failure I'm sad to say, but we tried and that's what matters to me, you all did wonderfully." as the Other's went to their places it was time for the unfortunate moment the Puppet hadn't been looking forward to.

"So...I guess I'll be sitting in the Part's and Service room all day?" Withered Bonnie asked before the Puppet could respond Toy Bonnie can running back down the hall with a bag.

"Here you go, Bro." He said handing Withered the bag "A Set of Cards, a few storybooks, a Yo-yo, and a few things from lost and found." He smiled "Me and Toy Freddy felt bad about you having to spend the Day locked up so we thought this might help you pass the time," With a Wave Toy, Bonnie turned back down the hall and the Puppet smiled.

"Hopefully that'll help you pass the time for now." The Puppet said as he opened the door "And I'm sorry you have to alone during the day."

"I'm fine with it," Bonnie said as he walked into the Room "To not be alone in here would require more lives to be lost, so I personally hope I stay alone in here until our Purple friend is caught." With a wave goodbye, Bonnie closed the door and The Puppet made his way back to the Box and got back inside just as he felt his legs leave his control.

-1 hour later-

"I sorry, but I can't stay here." The Guard said as he handed his Uniform in, his face covered in Bandages "I don't get paid enough to deal with almost having my head crushed." With that said the Guard left the Office and Will sighed as he looked at the Uniform

"Great, now I'm going to have to take the night shift," he muttered as he got up and walked down the Main Hall, The Puppet Glared at him from its box as he walked through the main area and into the kitchen, he walked through it and into a back room, he placed the uniform down and turned to the Emergency Key case, he Moved the sign indicating it as such and took out the Key he had hidden there the other day and smiled at it. "Alright my little friend, it was nice while it lasted, but some mook broke the lock to the Part's and Service room, and now your just Evidence against me." Will picked up a trash bag from the night before and opened the back door, whistling as he walked to the back dumpster, the Garbage Ponies could be seen down the street as he tossed the key into the bag and tied it shut before tossing it into the Dumpster and still whistling he walked back inside and back to his station to make the report that yet another Guard had quit.

Author's Note

These Chapter's keep getting shorter and shorter.

I've Already preselected all the Character's who are going to get murdered in this story but comment below on who you think will get iced next.

Golden Investigation.

It was quite the surprise, at least to The Puppet, that Kid's actually came to the Restaurant that day.

"The Ponies in this town must be stupid to keep bringing their kid's to a place with two consecutive day's of Child Murder...please let that streak be broken today...please." He pleaded quietly, he was sitting down in his box with today's present, he didn't know what was in it, but he hoped it was something good. He looked out of the box and saw something that made him less than happy. The Purple guy could just be seen in the main hall, he looked very happy today, and that made the Puppet unhappy, he didn't know what he was planning, but he knew he was planning something horrible. The Puppet stared at him until his view was blocked.

"Applebloom I know you want to use up all your tokens, But I don't like being in this place," Scootaloo said as she followed her friend and the only kid in school who had agreed to go with them.

"Don't worry, so long as we all stay together we should be fine" Pipsqueak responded as he walked with Applebloom and Scootaloo, "Thanks for inviting me as your replacement," he added as they walk through the mostly empty Pizzarea, "Even if this place is super scary." He added as he looked down the hallway with a caution sign in it.

"Yeah...ok Applebloom can you explain why we are in the Fun time murder zone? Two of our friends have died in as many days."

"That's the main reason," Applebloom said, he faces blank of emotion, her eye's ringed red from crying through the night. "Two of our friends, my friends, are gone! And we're never going to see them again because some no good murdered killed them for a cheap laugh!" as the kid's walking past the area the Employee at the Prize counter watched them silently, he looked just like the guy who had been working there the day before, but he wasn't. To anypony who looked at him, he'd seem like a normal employee, but that was far from the truth. He held up his Employee Id and spoke into it.

"You hear me Twilight?" Starlight asked silently.

"Yeah, I hear you loud and clear." She responded, "How are things looking over there?"

"Quiet so far." She responded as she looked around "That Will guy was smiling at the Kid's area, but other than that nothing suspicious, though I will be keeping an eye on him."

"Roger...and Starlight?"

"Yeah?"

"Thank you for doing this."

"Some Son of a B...Son of a sucker killed our Spike and an Innocent little girl, if I find him I am beating his face in. I'll call you back if I see anything Suspicious." With a click, Starlight turned the Communication device off and pocketed it. in the office, Will frowned as his ear's twitched.

"You know it's funny." he said to nopony "You'd think those Investigative teams would have checked for bugs, I can hear everything that happens here...and with a little push of my handy dandy remote control." Will held up said thing and pressed it with a click. "Not only can I mess up the Camera's, but I can mess up communication devices." he smiled "Look like I'm taking it up a notch today."

Starlight stood in silence at the counter, there were almost no children present at the Restaurant, and the more she thought about it, the more she pondered why this place was even still open in the first place,

"I guess it's better to know where a Murder will attempt a strike next rather than closing the place and waiting in silence for him to jump at some other random place," she muttered as he looked over at the Box, her brow's immediately rose when she noticed the Puppet was staring hard at her, Starlight crouched down and looked at it. "You a creepy little robot, you know that right?" Starlight didn't expect an answer, but she got one.

"Can you save them?" A voice whispered out, The Puppet didn't know why, but it felt like the Pony in front of it was different from yesterday "Save them from the Purple one?" Starlight looked at the Puppet in a mixture of shock and horror.

"Purple one...purple one..." Starlights eye's widened "You know don't you." she whispered silently "You know who did it."

"The Purple Guy...the Guard..." The Puppet said in a hushed voice before closing its lid, Starlight blinked and looked over to See Will walking past the Counter, A Guard pony who was wearing Purple, and was in Purple in every color of his body, Will and Starlights eye's connected and Will smiled at her as he walked to the Kid's cove area and opened a door that looked like part of the wall. Starlight immediately stood up and pulled out her Id. "Twilight!" No response. "TWILIGHT!?" She asked, once again nothing, after several attempts Starlight frowned. "So...either I run out of here and tell Twilight a Puppet told me somepony purple did something...or I follow Will." Starlight took a deep breath. "Alright old girl, stay on your guard, you have a group of friends waiting for you to come back tonight." She stood up and walked over the part of the wall, behind her Applebloom looked over just in time to see her open it and walk in, the door shutting behind her.

"Oh my..." Applebloom smacked Scootaloo and Pointed at it.

"Ow! Hey, what was...that...oh my Celestia." Scootaloo managed to look just before the door disappeared into the wall, the two looked at each other. "Grab Pipsqueak and head for the Exit!" They said in unison as they turned to grab their friend and told him what they had witnessed.

Starlight looked at the area in silence, it was a dimly light hallway, about 10 feet long, at the end of it was a door that was ajar, Starlight walked forward silently as she moved towards the door, peeking in she found what looked like an old office room with a second door at the back, She opened the door slowly so as to not make noise and moved forward, she had barely entered when the door slammed shut behind her, She turned in time to be hit square in the face by a Rusty Pipe.

"Grah!" she screamed as he flew to the floor, her disguise melting away as she covered her face, she tried to push herself up when something hit her in the stomach and forced her down, something was shoved on her horn, almost immediately afterward something else was forced onto the front of her face, immediately followed by something on the back of it that clicked and stuck both part's together. it was hard to breathe or see in it, but as soon as She pulled on it Sharp metal pieces stuck into his skin, she let go immediately as several cuts opened, and tried her magic to no avail "Fuck!" She said as she got up and looked at her adversary, Will was leaning against the door happily.

"Wow, are you retarded." He said with a head shake, Blood now leaking down Starlights face and neck, She looked around her as she heard several snapping noises, suddenly without warning her left ear was crushed and blood flowed down her face. She Screamed as she Despratly Scratched at the mask on her face. She fell forward and just caught herself on an old desk, blood dripped from the mask as She looked at Will

"You Like it?" Will asked "That's Spring Freddy," he said happily "It was made so Employees could climb inside and walk around as the mascot, unfortunately, tho, they were death traps, but you should be fine...so long as you don't get the inside wet that is." He added with a smile. As the realization of what was about to happen hit her Starlight looked at him.

"I hope Twilight eviscerate you." She spat at Will before screaming again as her other ear was crushed, with a whirling Sound She screamed a bloody howl as a Piece of the mask Broke through her Bottom jaw and out the top, She blinked as Blood filled her eye's before the Robotic eye's of the Robot Pushed into place and crushed hers, With a final gurgling sound Starlight fell to her knee's and her Body fell flat on the desk, the Bloody Freddy mask looked like it was crying, Will picked her up and dragged her into the second room. Inside was the Spring Bonnie suit, and The rest of Fredbear, Will dropped the corpse on Freddy and light his horn,

"Two out of three times ain't too bad," He said happily as he Blasted Starlight's corpse, he watched as the Body melted into the Animatronic and proceeded to click the head back on, the empty suit sat in silence as Will used a quick spell to clean himself then teleported to the Bathroom stall he had locked earlier, with that, it now looked like he had been in the bathroom during the entire event, not that he needs to do it, but it never hurt to never grow cocky or unprepared. as Will left the Bathroom whistling the Puppet watched him leave with a frown and turned to look at the hidden door.

"Oh dear." he said as he looked at the wall door "This is bad."

-meanwhile-

Applebloom was breathing heavily as she hightailed it to the Castel, her other two friend's had fallen behind a while ago. She reached the door and proceeded to beat the ever-living day light's out of it until a Red eye's Fluttershy opened it.

"Oh, hi Applebloom." She said with a wave "I'm sorry but Applejack's busy right..."

"Fluttershy there's a secret door in the Pizzeria!" Applebloom said in a winded rush, "I need to show Twilight where it is." She gasped for air as she collapsed on the porch. "Ran so fast," she added in a huff, Fluttershy's response was to help the filly up and take her to the throne room, which was in a panic.

"What do you mean she's not responding!" Rainbow demanded snatching at the Device in Twilight's hands.

"It means she's not calling us back, she must be surrounded by children at the moment, just give her..."

"Twilight," Fluttershy said gaining the attention of the group.

"Sweet Celestia!" Applejack said as her Sister leaned over the Cutie Map and gasped for air "Applebloom whats..."

"I saw the Prize counter guy at Freddy's enter a secret door." Applebloom declared before flattening her face on the table. this was met with silence.

"Twilight." Pinkie said breaking the silence with a horror-filled voice "Wasn't Starlight Disguised as the Prize counter guy?" Twilight sat in silence looking at her device.

"But...I...she was...but...Starlight.." Was all Twilight managed to say as she sat in her chair, staring blankly at the device. The rest of the group moved out,

"Applebloom where was this door!?" Applebloom raised a hand before dropping it in silence.

"By Kid's cove." Scootaloo said as he walked in, making the rest jump as she sat next to Applebloom and patted her back, "Hey is Sweetie here?"

"She's in the Castel Living room." Rarity responded.

"Sweet, Come on Applebloom," Scootaloo said as she dragged her out. "Just follow Pipsqueak." She added as they left. said Pipsqueak peaked into the door.

"Hello," he said awkwardly.

"Is it hers?" Applejack asked as the Investigation team checked the old Office room, there was a lot of blood on one of the desks, but past that the room was empty, they checked the wall's for more secret doors and found nothing.

"No way of knowing at the moment." One of the Investigation team members replied "Give us till tomorrow and we should have answers." with that said the Unicorn levitated some of the Blood into a vial and motioned for her team to move out. "Time to move out."

-Closing time-

Will locked the door and closed the Metal thing with a yawn.

"Man this suck's" he grumbled "Now I gotta deal with scary Animatronic's all night, oh no it a chicken whatever will I do, oh boo-hoo." as he walked back down the main hall the Puppet stared him down hard, The Puppet watched as Will turned the hall corner whistling, once he was out of sight the Animatronic's began moving, Toy Bonnie left to go let withered out, and Mangle went to go find a nice place to just hang and make noise, Toy Freddy pulled out a Card set and began doing what he probably thought shuffling was. The Puppet got out of its box and walked to the wall, it put its hand on it when a pair of hand's were put on his shoulder making him jump, he turned on the spot and found a beakless toy, Chica smiling at him.

"Oh my goodness." The Puppet said heavily breathing "Why would you do that?"

"I just wanted to know if you wanted to play me in Giga FistFighters again is all."

"Maybe later." The Puppet responded as he put his hand on the wall and sparks flew from his hand's, at once the door popped open and Chica gasped

"Oh my goodness, is that a Secret door!?"

"Yeah, I need you to stand guard while I go in, I need to check on something." The Puppet said as he walked in, Toy Chica saluted him and stood in front of the Doorway with a determined look on her face. Will was lazily sipping a Green Tea when he heard the voices in his ear.

"You did this." A Little girl's voice said making him jump

"YEAG!" He screamed, dropping his drink, he blinked and looked around the empty room. "Wha...what the fuck?" he asked in confusion, down the Hall Withered Bonnie was staring at him through the Darkness before going down the Main Hall, Will meanwhile continued to search through the office for the source of the voice. Withered Bonnie looked at the Animatronic's around him and raised his voice.

"I'm calling a meeting!" He said, immediately everyone began moving to him.

"The Puppet asked me to guard this...wall." Toy Chica said awkwardly, the other's looked at her and she shrugged "It's his favorite one?" She responded.

"That Make's Sence," Toy Bonnie said "Gather around Chica for the meeting!" He called as they all moved out, Mangle arriving last.

"Hey, where is the Puppet?" Toy Freddy asked looking inside the empty box.

"I dunno, he just kind of vanished." Toy Chica replied before Withered Bonnie spoke up.

"We'll cue him in later, Ok I just want to say that I am sick and tired of that no good Exoskeleton," He said angrily "Sitting there like he owns the place, attacking the one who woke us all up!" Mangle made the group jump when it made an echoing Caterwail before shaking its head.

"Sorry." It Garbled "Instinct."

"No, that was good." Withered Responded "I say we go over to this guy and force him into a spare Freddy suit! What say you?" This was meet with serval seconds of silence.

"YEAH!" All the others cheered, with a Hello standing out, Withered pointed to Balloon colt.

"Wave a hand if you agree." The Balloon colt did this and Withered Bonnie pointed down the hall. "Then let's go get it Fellows!" he called as everyone but Chica moved out.

"I'll just be here guarding the do-I mean Wall!" She called to them as they moved out, meanwhile the Puppet was standing in the Bloody office room, He looked around the room for a moment when he heard a sound from the far wall.

"Hello?" A voice rang out "Where am I? Why am I here?" The Puppet moved to the wall and it was covered in sparks, after a second the wallpaper fell apart and a door popped open, The Puppet stood in silence as it Stared at Golden Freddy, the two stood in silence before the Puppet offered the Bear a hand.

"Welcome." The Puppet said, the Bear looked at him in confusion when he took the Puppet's hand, Spark's flew down its Body and The Animatronic Blinked as it Looked around the room in silence.

"Wha...What is this?" Fredbear asked looking at his hand's "Why...why am I a bear?"

"That my friend is a hell of a story." Meanwhile Withered Bonnie made his way towards the Office, Will heard him coming and put on the mask, Bonnie walked into the room when the Light's flicked off and on, the area around him filled with noise, and when he blinked he found himself back at the end of the hall.

"What the...?" Withered Bonnie asked in confusion looking back down to the Security room "What was that?"

Rules of the Night

Withered Bonnie watched the scene going on in front of him in confusion. Every time one of the Animatronic's entered the room the light's freaked out and they just walked away in a random direction, he watched as Toy Bonnie walked into the room, the light's freaked, then walked out into a Party room.

"Wait where am I?" He heard Toy Bonnie call as he poked out of the room.

"I don't understand." Withered Bonnie said in confusion "This wasn't happening yesterday!"

"Well," Toy Freddy said, peaking out of a nearby door "It did happen when I went in, it's what let me drop the Puppet off...though I didn't walk to a random room without realizing in a flash of memory loss." Withered Bonnie grumbled for a moment.

"Alright so this'll be harder than I first thought...but we'll get him eventually! Mix it up, be unpredictable! Balloon Colt steal his Flashlight! Mangel be as loud as you can! Everyone else just try your best!" there was a cheer from the other animatronics before they set off. as this went on Fredbear and the Puppet was standing next to each other, The Puppet had just finished explaining the situation and Fredbear was taking the information in.

"So I'm dead?" it asked.

"Pretty much yeah." The Puppet said with a nod "and it might be sorta my..."

"It's his fault." Fredbear said as he got up "it's his fault." The Puppet shrugged.

"I can not argue with that," he said as he offered his hand "What say you? Help me stop him before more souls join us?" Freadbear smiled, or did the closest thing to a smile it could do, and took The Puppets hand.

"Let's send him to the deepest pit's of Tartarus," Freadbear said as they shook

"Sounds like a plan," The Puppet replied, for a brief moment the two stood before each other as a Unicorn and a Dragon before turning back.

"What was that?" Fredbear asked in confusion as he looked around.

"What was what?" The Puppet asked in confusion as he looked around the room for what Fredbear had seen, Fredbear didn't reply for a moment as he stared silently at The Puppet before shaking his head.

"Must have been a trick of the light," he decided "So we just head out or..."

"No, first we decide on a story to tell the other...more childish animatronics, then we can clue in Withered Bonnie in the parts and service room.

The Animatronics were gathered around the stage, save Toy Chica who was still guarding the wall.

"OK," Wither Bonnie said as he sat on the stage, looking up at the Camera "So he can see us anywhere, but we can only see him in a few places, we need a plan of attack, need to sneak in before he puts that mask on" Bonnie scratched his chin in thought as The other Animatronics spitballed ideas, each consecutive idea being sillier than the last, Toy Freddie was in the middle of describing his Cupcake plan when Toy Chica let out a squeak and gained the Groups attention, they watched as she jumped away from the wall as it opened and the Puppet peaked out.

"The Puppet has a Puppet cave," Toy Bonnie said in shock "I want a Bonnie Cave,"

"You'd have to share it with me if you got one," Withered Bonnie said as he got to his feet and made his way to the Puppet, the Group following.

"So?" Toy Freddy asked as he motioned to the door. "How long you had this?"

"Sorry for not telling you about it sooner," The Puppet replied "But I didn't want to get your hopes up if I couldn't wake up our new friend," There was a moment of silence before the Puppet was swamped by all the Animatronics save Withered Bonnie, who looked back at the Camera in silence.

"Don't keep us waiting," Mangle Garbled in excitement "Who's getting a sibling?" The Puppet moved out of the Doorway and Fredbear lumbered through the hall, he was a good head taller than Toy Freddy, who had stars in his eyes.

"Yus," Toy Freddy cheered with a fist pump "You can never have enough Freddy!"

"Hello," Fredbear said offering Freddy his hand, which was accepted with glee, "I'm Fredbear,"

"Fredbear?" Freddy asked "What a unique name,"

"I was the original mascot for the restaurant back when it was just me and Spring Bonnie,"

"There's a third Bonnie?" Toy Bonnie demanded before turning to the Puppet, "That's Awesome!" The Puppet frowned.

"Not so much," he pointed to the hall "you know that exoskeleton that's in the office right now?"

"Yea?" Toy Bonnie replied.

"Sorry to tell you bud," Puppet said with a head shake "But that's Spring Bonnie," Toy Bonnie looked horrified, Toy Freddy, on the other hand, looked relieved.

"Oh thank goodness," Toy Bonnie looked at Freddy before looking to the office with an offended look.

"You figured it out didn't you?" Toy Bonnie asked turning to Withered Bonnie "That's why you want us to stuff him back into his suit," The Puppet looked at Withered Bonnie is silence as Toy Bonnie continued "Well I'm all aboard now Brother, Let's get this disgrace of a Bonnie and put him back in his suit," Toy Bonnie stood proud "And if we can't stuff him back into it, we'll leave it in front of the Stage! Either he goes back where he belongs or he gets taken to Robot Jail,"

"I don't think that's a thing, Bonnie," Toy Chica said before being patted by Withered Bonnie.

"Just let him have his moment," They watched as Toy Bonnie marched down the hall, and returned almost immediately.

"Where would his suit be?" The Group turned to Fredbear and the Puppet the two turned back to the hall.

"It's just kind of sitting in there," Fredbear said simply before Toy Bonnie ran down the hall screaming.

"CHARGE!!!"

Will looked at his camera footage in silence, The only animatronic he could see was the Mangle staring at the Prize corner Camera, He tried using his bugs but all he could hear was breathing.

"This place is starting to get a little crazy," He muttered as he got up and looked down the hall "Better scope the place out," He put the Freddy mask on and snuck down the hall slowly, upon getting to the corner he peeked around it and saw all the Animatronics huddled around the Prize Corner, he could just hear them.

"Keep in place Mangle," Toy Freddy said as he backed away from the Prize corner "Can't let him see us coming," Will chuckled at that.

"They're actively trying to get me," He said with a smile "How cu-" Will froze as Golden Freddy came into View, dragging with him the top half of the Golden Bonnie suit, Toy Bonnie was following behind holding its feet. Before he could properly react two of the Animatronics came from Kids cove, Withered Bonnie and the Puppet. He backed up a little but stayed close enough to hear the two talking.

"-He needs to die," Withered Bonnie said angrily "That murderous son of a-"

"language," The Puppet warned "Your right, the Guard is a monster and deserves nothing less than death, but if you kill him your robbing so many others of avenging their lost loved ones, you want this out of vengeance, they need this for closure,"

"I don't care about loved ones or closure, he will kill again, and I'm going to stop him," There was a long silence before the Puppet replied.

"I'm not going to get in your way, and I'm not going to try and stop you, but I'm not going to help you in your mission of vengeance,"

"Thank you," Withered replied before calling out loudly "Hey Fredbear, you have any idea how to open the Spring Bonnie suit? Gonna be hard to stuff our friend inside it without being able to open it," Will rushed back to his office sweating as he took the mask off.

"Alright," he said as he looked down the hall "So shits hit the fan, how do I solve this?" Will sat in his chair and looked down and changed the camera to the main stage, the Spring Bonnie suit had been set in a sitting position in front of the stage and the other animatronics were crowded around it, Will scratched his head before smiling and picking up the office phone in a rush. He dialed up a number and after his third attempt got an answer.

"Celestia Dammit," The Voice on the other end said irritably "What are the clocks broken or something? it's 3 am Will, I'm not supposed to come in until 6,"

"Hey sorry, bud," Will replied smiling "But have I got an offer for you,"

The Puppet and Fredbear were chilling in the Ballpit together, the other Animatronics were tying their dam near hardest to get at the Guard, to no avail thus far. The Puppet had sunken deep into the pit, Fredbear was sitting on the edge with his large plastic feet in the pit.

"Can't we just leave?" Fredbear asked looking towards the door,

"Door's locked, and we don't have much control over our bodies during the day,"

"So where do I go during the day?"

"You can hang out with Withered Bonnie in the parts and service room or go back to your hidden room,"

"I'll hang with Withered Bonnie," Fredbear replied with little thought "The Company will be nice,"

"I'm sure Withered Bonnie will be happy to hear," Puppet replied as he began pulling himself out of the pit "It's almost 6, so you should probably head over there, Withered Bonnie has a few things you can do, think he has a book or two stashed in there, you could also do a quick raid of the lost and found, see if anything strikes your fancy, I doubt most ponies are willing to come back to this place, save a few idiots and children who sneak away from their parents." The Puppet pointed to the front desk next to the front door and Fredbear made his way to the desk as the Puppet made his way back into his box, Fredbear got to the desk and looked out the door, it was still dark out but he could see the outside world, the street was baren, the stars were sparkling in the sky, The Moon was slowly making its way through the sky, just barely viewable. Fredbear looked outside for a while before turning to the Lost and Found, it was mostly empty but sitting on the desk was a Book with a Golden horseshoe and a Purple star on it. Fredbear took the book and headed to the main hall, where Toy Bonnie was wishing Withered Bonnie a good day.

"Oh, you heading my way?" Withered asked pointing to the Parts and service room.

"Seems so," Fredbear confirmed, Withered waved goodbye to Toy and The two made their way into the Parts and Service room, Withered took his place with the non-active Animatronics and seemed to do something reminiscent of going to sleep, Fredbear looked at him before turning back to his book and opening it to the first page.

The Puppet waited in excitement as he looked at Spring Bonnie, the other Animatronic were on stage and waiting for the children, the chime sounded and watched as the Purple guy walked down the hall whistling. He stood in the middle of the room and said loudly.

"I must say I am impressed," He said looking the Puppet dead in the eye "You almost had it, you could have gotten it to, if you'd just waited for a night where I wasn't on duty," The Purple guy walked over to the Puppet and got on his knees and he whispered.

"You know, the book mentioned that the soul could fuse with the object but even so I didn't expect this, your pretty impressive Dragon," He gave a nasty smile. "But it's not that hard to call the guy who's supposed to be here and take his shift, especially when the place you work is a murder scene," The Purple guy stood up as the Puppet glared at him with hate, "Sadly it seems you guys lack the...ability to properly speak your mind during the day, and the skill the catch me at night," The Purple Guy made his way to Spring Bonnie and hoisted it up and began dragging him back into the, not so secret room next to the prize corner. "But don't worry, this room has a lot more secrets, and since this isn't the only way in I'll make sure this door is nice and sealed up by the end of the day," The Puppet waited in silent rage for almost 10 minutes before Purple guy returned not form the door, but from the kitchen. He smiled at the Puppet and winked at it before going to open the door before going to edit the camera footage. The Puppet watched him until he was gone from view, rage was still burning in his eyes, not from being outsmarted, but because the Purple guy had called him Dragon. The Puppet hid back in his box, forming a plan as to how to deal with the murderous scum that was currently in the office.

Guards do something.

Twilight, Pinkie, and Applejack made their way into the Pizzaria. It had just opened and as such was empty. Twilight looked like she wanted to destroy the place as she made her way past the stage, the Animatronics watched her storm past and started whispering to each other before noticing Applejack and Pinkie eyeing them and going back to their normal position, the two took their seats and looked on, with some shock, as the Animatronic moved to the edge of kids cove, checked the kids play area, then stretched itself out so that it's head was next to the box. Twilight got to her hooves, motioned the other two to her and cloaked them all so they were invisible, they snuck close enough to the box to hear what was going on.

"Puppet," Mangle said quietly "Puppet," The Lid of the box slid open and the Puppet peaked out.

"Mangle go back to kids cove," Puppet whispered "Your suppose to be keeping an eye out for the Purple guy,"

"But there are a lot of purple ones," Mangle complained "how am I suppose to point one Purple pony out from the rest of the Purple ponies,"

"Just keep an eye out for a Purple Pony getting to close to the kids, and if you see Spring Bonnie make as much noise as you can," Mangle grumbled before dragging itself back to the cove. The Trio watched in silence as The Puppet turned and stared hard at the Main Hall, "You won't get another one today Purple guy," He said angrily before placing the lid back on his box. The Trio slowly made their way back to their table before uncloaking.

"What the heck was that about?" Pinkie demanded "I didn't know they could move so...well,"

"That Mangle one was keeping its feet in that cove," Applejack noted and Mangle paced around its area "So my guess is they can't move from their main places,"

"Purple guy?" Twilight said as she pulled out a small pocket note pad and wrote down what the Puppet had said "Spring Bonnie, You won't get another one?" Twilight frowned before getting to her hooves.

"One second," Twilight made her way to the front desk where a mare was chewing some gum.

"Oh hello Princess, would you like some food or drink?"

"Actually I have a few questions about something I overheard one of the Animatronics say?" The Mare suddenly looked interested.

"Whoa, you actually heard them talking to each other, epic, don't know how much help I can be but I guess I can try," Twilight eyed the Mares Brown Uniform and asked her first question.

"Witch of the Ponies working hear would wear Purple?"

"Oh, let's see, The Night Guards, The Day Guards, the Waiters, and Waitresses," The Mare pondered for a moment "The Managers all wear Dark Purple, and I'm pretty sure that's it, Everypony else wears Brown," Twilight wrote all this down before continuing with her next question.

"Where can I find the Spring Bonnie Animatronic?" The Mare laughed.

"Spring Bonnie?" She asked Twilight nodded "The one from Fazbear Family Dinner, oh boy I think he and Fredbear are in the old office room," Twilight frowned at that.

"You mean the one behind the Prize corner?"

"Yeah, they added a few walls and turned Fredbears Family Dinner into Freddy Jr's, but all of the old Restaurant is still built into this place, man the other day I tried to open the supply closet and ended up in the old Fredbear main hall," Twilight held up her hand.

"Wait, you mean to tell me...that there's a second building inside this building?"

"Yeah, but it's kind of a mess, they put up walls for this place just around the old one so some parts of it are weirdly cut off from other parts, but it's like a fire hazard so there are secret doors everywhere," Twilight frowned as she looked down at her note's before clapping it shut and pocketing it.

"Thank you for your help," Twilight said polity before heading back to her friends. After filling them in the trio looked back at the Puppet, who was staring at them along with the rest of the Animatronics.

"But the room was empty save for a few old tables and..." Pinkie trailed off as she looked at the door frowning. "...was it confirmed?" She asked turning to Twilight.

"Yeah," Twilight said after a short pause "It was Starlights," Pinkie looked at the door in silence as Applejack took her hat off to pay respect. "This place is a deathtrap, The only reason I haven't shut the place down is because that cocky son of a bitch keeps striking here again and again, And I am not letting it happen again, I don't give a shit how dangerous it is, I'll stay here all night if I hav-" The Front door of the Pizzara opened with a bang and the trio turned back, A Pony in full Guard armor had practically broken down the door, He looked around for a moment before rushing to Twilight, who had run towards him the second she had seen him.

"Twilly," Shining Said as she ran into him and hugged him, She didn't respond as she squeezed him, after a moment Shining put his hand under her jaw and slowly made her look up at him, "It's not true right?" He asked, the begging look in his eye making Twilight tear up "The message we got...It was a mistake right?" She could tell by his tone he knew it was true, she didn't respond, she just latched onto him and started sobbing in his arms.

The restaurant was completely empty, save for any and all employees who had worked at all during the last few days, even ones who had quit. Guards from Canterlot to the Crystal Empire were roaming around the place, a few who were on a break were playing around in the kid are or watching the Animatronics play their songs. The Balloon Colt, Mangle, and the Puppet had been removed from their respective areas and were currently being scanned for any and all traces of Magical residue.

"Are you sure?" Shining asked as Guard gave him a report.

"Yes sir, there was a hidden door in the room, but it leads to nothing, upon further inspection the Fredbear suit seems to have been moved to the parts and services room, but due to its age, and more importantly what it's made of, we aren't yet sure if it can be scanned for any traces of magic," As the Guards gave Shining his report Twilight was helping to scan the none stage Animatronics.

"You sure we don't need to scan the big ones?" One of the Guards asked as he finished Scanning Balloon colt.

"Those guys get cleaned up and go through heavy maintenance every day before closing," Twilight said simply "You can scan them if you want but you'll just find a magical signature of nearly every unicorn in the place."

"The Mangle is clean," One of the Guards called out, a small team picked it and the Balloon colt up and began dragging it towards their original positions.

"Alright, just mister Puppet left," The Guard said as he started the scanning spell, "Should only take-" The Guard Froze as his Horn lit up, Everypony paying attention gave the Puppet their full attention.

"Faint echo of Magic," The Guard muttered, "I can't tell the age and I can't decipher what spell was used, but given enough time I should be able to pick out who-"

"Oh, that was me," Will said without a hint of interest in his voice "It jumped me the other night, panicked and tossed it the hell out of my office," Before any suspicion could be placed on William the Manager snapped out at him.

"The hell you did," He said angrily "It is written in your contract, you are not to touch the Animatronics with Magic, one wrong pull and you could throw their entire system out of wack!" seizing his moment Will snapped back.

"Oh sorry, but seeing how just three days ago a Guard almost has his face bitten off I felt I was justified in tossing the least complicated Animatronic we have across a room, It just stands up and sits down, Look at the fucking thing," he added as the Puppet glared at him in silence "Creepy fuck has it in for me now," Twilight gave him a suspicious look and turned to Applejack, who was watching as the Puppet gave William a constant Death glare.

"I dunno if he's lying or not," Applejack said upon seeing the look on Twilight's face. "Every time he talks I just instantly wanna distrust him, but at the same time I can't find a reason to distrust him," She frowned as William and his manager had an angry talk, "I think his special talent might be lying, or something dam near close to it," Shining picked up the Puppet, as he did so he whispered to the Guard.

"I want surveillance on all Employees, but make sure to keep an extra special eye on Will over there," Shining passed the Arguing William and his Manager and made his way to the Puppet's Box, he set it down in it and was just setting the lid on it when a voice echoed from the box like it was a large pit and a fast jumble of worlds came rushing into Shining's ears.

"Save. Them, It.Was.Him, Don't.Follow.Him, Purple.Guy.Spring.Bonnie, Don't. Cry," Shining lifted the lid immediately and stared at the Puppet, which lay limp in the box. Shining gently set the lid down and listened, he heard the sound of a little girl laughing before crying out in pain and turned to the sound and stared down the Main Hall to the Parts and Service Room where The old Animatronics were being looked at, he Stared at the room when two of the Animatronics seemed to look back at him, Fredbear and the old Bonnie seemed to be staring at him, but after rubbing his eyes and looking back Bonnie had his back to Shining and FredBear wasn't even in his line of sight.

"Think I'm going crazy," Shining said as he stepped away from the Puppet's box and returned to Twilight, the Puppet peaked out of his box and looked at Shining as he walked away.

"You can save them," The Puppet whispered "I don't know how, but I know it's you who will be the hero of our story," The Puppet slid back into his box, knowing that no children would be coming he did the only thing he could think to do, his eyes shut off and he went to sleep, as soon as he was out all the other Animatronic's eyes seemed to lost some light and froze for a moment before moving in jerky robotic movements.

"Oh hey," One of the employees said when he noticed Freddy move to talk into his mic with no sound coming from it, "I think the Animatronics just...went back to normal," Upon hearing this Pinkie jumped up to the stage and watched the Animatronics move, their plastic eyes devoid of the life they had been full of earlier, after a quick once around the Pizzaera she nodded.

"Yup, they're sleeping, how cute,"

"Pinkie your definition of cute is far different from mine," Applejack said as she looked up at the jerky movements of the Animatronics as they looped the same 20 seconds of action. "I think I preferred them when they were pretending to not be alive," She decided as she watched them move. Will sighed as his Manager chewed into him before saying simply.

"Look boss," he said calmly and quietly "We both know that the number of Health code violations, Regulations you've ignored, and the fact that you sometimes take a cut out of certain employee's checks cause you know they won't notice could ruin not only this restaurant but your life," The Manage shut his mouth and Will smiled. "and yes, I notice when I work 40 hours and only get paid for 35 of them, so why don't you shut up and go about trying to save your Bussiness before I destroy the tiny bit of worth these murders didn't take from you," Will smiled as the Manager turned away from Will, fixed his collar, and when on his way to the kitchen to make sure nothing too obvious could be spotted. "Yeah," Will thought as he looked around the restaurant "Now," he thought "how do I get away with murder in a heavily guarded establishment while having an extra special eye kept on me?"

The End of the Beginning

The Puppet was sitting in the Parts and service room, softly whispering sweet nothings to the Final Spirit in need of a home, Sitting next to Silver Spoon in the body of Bonnie was Pip in the body of Foxy, across from them Starlight in Fredbear was talking to Scootaloo in the Body of Freddy, the vacant body of Chica lay ready, but just like all the others Applebloom only remembered her name and the last few moments of her life.

"-But I can't remember," She sobbed as the Puppet cradled her "I can't remember who they are," Applebloom flashed to the pain of dying, the agony of the knife running threw her eye, then as the life left her body she herd herself softy cry out the words Granny, Sis. "Who are they?" She sobbed as she buried her face into the Puppet's chest, he ghostly form phasing threw it's chest as she did so.

"I don't know," The Puppet replied with a frown "I never saw you with anyone but the ones who died with you,"

"Yar!" Foxy suddenly cut in "I t'was lone when I met me end,"

"Please stop whining about that," Freddy pleaded looking over at the fox "At least you didn't get curb-stomped into the floor,"

"Funny enough," Foxy shot back irritable "I didn't die when me neck was snapped instantly, I got to slowly suffocate for a moment before being repeatedly stabbed,"

"I already miss being alone in here," Bonnie grumbled as Foxy and Freddy bickered and The Puppet placed Applebloom into Chica. The Puppet smiled before dragging himself back to Bonnie.

"So much for the guards," Bonnie grumbled as he picked the Puppet up in his arms. "They didn't do jack shit,"

"Of course they fucking didn't," The Puppet replied earning a gasp from the room for his swear "There monitoring his every movement, but the building is dangerous so there's no way he'd do anything on the night shift so they just have to guard the outside, they couldn't even fucking do that right!"

"Alright," Bonnie said with a note of concern in his voice "Maybe calm down a little-"

"Let's kill him," The Puppet said bluntly.

"I'm in," Fredbear said immediately.

"Whoa!" Bonnie said "first, I'm also in, but second, aren't you the one that was all like closure is important and stuff,"

"Six!" The Puppet said angrily "He's gotten away with Murder 3 times and killed 6 ponies, and I bet he'll get away with it another 3 times again!" before The Puppet could continue his Rage Chica held out her handless arms and Bonnie handed her The Puppet, as The Puppet raged about his incompetence to save anyone Chica rocked him back and forth and whispered sweet nothings to him to try and calm his raging soul. Unbeknownst to the group the Pizzarea outside of the Parts and Service room was full of Guards, and quite a few Ponies that had been guards up until a few moments ago.

"Get out of here!" Shining yelled in furry as the now ex guards were taken away "This is a level of ineptitude I didn't even fucking know was possible!" Shining turned away from them and looked at the sobbing Applejack, her hands were drenched in blood as she cradled the lifeless body of her little sister in her arms, Shining hears screaming from the ex Guards and the sound of three mares in an unbelievable furry, he recognized Rainbow and figured the other two as Scootaloo's legal guardians, He noticed an unfamiliar couple crying outside and pegged them as Pips parents, all families accounted for Shining made his way to Twilight, who was talking to the only remaining victim of the attack, the Spring Bonnie suit lay to the side, having been taken off piece by piece, but at the moment sitting in a chair with the Torso and arms still stuck on him was William Afton, he was covered in cuts, scraped and it was still uncertain if his arms could be saved.

"I saw the kids on one of the cameras," Will said simply "Got up and next thing I know I'm face to face with The Puppet,"

"I thought you said you could throw it across a room,"

"And across a room, I did throw," Will agreed "Then I turned to Corner and met face to face with Fredbear and the old Bonnie animatronic," Will smiled and showed his new lack of a few teeth "That bunny punched the shit out of me, next thing I know I wake up in the Springbonnie suit, rush out to the main hall, and unfortunately moved to fast," Will moved one of his arms and immediately swore before letting it drop back down "Total Spring lock failure,"

"We found residue in the puddle of blood in the middle of the room of a teleport," Shining noted pointing to the pool.

"That would be my arm juice right there," Will said with a smile, "The second the arms snapped I tried to hold the rest back with my magic, then tried to teleport, rushed it, and instead teleported myself and the suit to my lovely home," Will looked over at the Spring Bonnie suit, now missing one of its ears. "Witch is where you'll find Bonnie's other ear, also a shit ton of blood then teleported outside the front door of the restaurant, and then waited 5 fucking minutes for a guard to notice the giant golden robot bunny that had appeared by the entrance," Will gave Shining an irritated look "Then got punched in the face again and got the end's of my ears torn off," Shining gave Will a once over, he was covered in cuts scrapes and other such damaging, both of his ears had been torn to shreds by the mask, all of his cuts were very symmetrical. Before Shining could ask for more the Manager of the place came out of the kitchen, out of breath and holding up a hand crank.

"I Found it, Will," He called out "let's Unwind those Spring locks and get you to the hospital,"

"Oh no hurry," Will said calmly "Just being questioned while trying to prevent the suit's upper body from tearing me to pieces," Shining and Twilight left Will as the Manager and a guard began winding back the spring locks to free Will. while they did this Will put his magic into keeping the locks at bay and thought back to his hard work of not getting arrested.

Will let out a scream as the Spring locks crushed his arms, he lit his horn and teleported away, but not before the rest of the Spring locks began failing, After a second Will opened his eyes, he was at his apartment bleeding out on the floor, He took a deep breath before forcing himself to his hooves, his entry body screaming in pain as his hundred of deep cuts began pulsing with pain and bleeding, once he got to his hooves he took a few more deep breaths.

"Shit, shit, shit," He muttered as he looked down at the mess he was making, "OK think, why did I teleport here? Cause I was being crushed," After a few minutes of bleeding out Will took a deep breath and teleported back to the same spot he had been in early, appearing face to face with the empty SpringBonnie suit, he could hear the possessed Animatronics down the hall, the Toy ones where still shut off. Will took a deep breath and used his magic to force the Spring locks back into place before teleporting back into the costume, putting a magic barrier around his mouth to mute his own screams.

"This is gonna suck dick," He said before releasing the arms from his magic, with a snap his arms where re crushed and he almost fell to the floor as he screamed out, after a second he found his knife was laying next to the one who's skull he had crushed.

"So none of my blood is there, so I gotta make sure none of their blood is one me," After a moment, and nearly passing out, Will managed to cover up the three children's blood with his own. "Sloppy but best I can do," Will took a deep breath covering one of Bonnie's ears in his magic, snapping it off and sending it to his apartment. His cover-up done as best as he could manage he teleported to the outside of the building and waited to be noticed by a guard.

Will let out a sigh as the Springlocks were pulled away and he teleported the torso and arms to the pile housing the rest of Springbonnie.

"I'm in so much fucking pain," he said calmly as two guards ran up with a stretcher and placed him softly on it before heading to Ponyville hospital. Twilight watched him go and looked back to her Brother.

"Alright, what's our new place of attack?" She asked him.

"My Guards failed me," Shining muttered "You and I could swap in and out, you watch the place during business hours, I become the Night Guard and try and-"

"Oh hell no," A New Voice called out getting their attention, Shining and Twilight looked over as a new pony arrived on the scene.

"Filthy Rich," Twilight asked in confusion before Shining approached him.

"Sir this is a crime scene, only authorized personal-"

"I am Filthy Rich," Filthy said simply "Owner of Fazbear Entertainment," That line was greeted with silence.

"That what you do?" Twilight demanded in confusion "I thought you...I don't know I never thought about it but really? This?"

"There are a total of 37 Freddy Fazbear themed restaurants in Equestria," Filthy said "And 1 in Griffin stone, and the one in Canterlot doubles as a museum of Fazbear history," he cleared his throat "But that is not why I am here, I am here to inform you that this location is shutting down," Shining made to say something when Filthy rich added "More importantly though, that this location was supposed to have already been shut down several days ago, but as I just found out that the Emails, letters, and 4 different Phone calls informing the owner of this location of this were all ignored,"

"But you just said you-" Shining stared only to be cut off again.

"I own the Franchise," Filthy said simply "I don't own and manage every location," as soon as the word manage was spoken Twilight and Shining turned to the Manager, who was trying desperately to open the secret door to no avail. "Not only was he to shut down the restaurant the second a child died, but he's broken almost every other fucking code and requirement for Freddy Jr's," Filthy approached the Manager who had given up on the sealed door and was backing away into the corner, hiding his face in it "First, why are the Toy Animatronics shut off?" The Manager fumbled a little as Filthy kept going "Why do you only have half the required Cameras set up in your establishment? And why the fuck do you have Fredbear and Spring Bonnie?!" The Manager was shaking in fear as he turned to Filthy, Filthy visibly faltered for a second when he saw the manager's face before demanding with rage "Why the Fuck are you Running another one of my restaurants?!"

"Wait, hold up," Shining said as he went to Filthy's side "Explain those last two to me,"

"Springbonnie and Fredbear are the original mascots from Fredbears Family Dinner and," Filthy looked at Shining with a look of rage "were both stolen 2 years ago from the Fazbear Musume in Canterlot,"

"I just found them here," The Manager said as he tried to back away "They were just sitting in the original restaurant that we built around,"

"Fredbear's shut down 20 years ago!" Filthy said as he pointed to Springbonnie "Springbonnie would not still be so brightly golden if he had been sitting in a musty shack for 2 years," Filthy marched to the Manager and picked him up by the collar, "But explain this to me," Filthy picked up the manager and glared at him in silence "Why is it that your running this restaurant after I fired 4 years ago and banned from ever setting foot on Fazbear property for not only running your restraint into the ground but-" Filthy threw the manager away from the wall and between Shining and Twilight to the hooves of Applejack and Rainbow Dash, Who had both come after hearing Filthy screaming "-also for allowing several murders to take place under your roof. Applejack and Rainbow Dash both looked down at the Manage in silence as he tried to crawl away.

"You mean to tell me," Shining said looking to Filthy.

"That this is the 2nd Fazbear restraint this man has run that, from day one, was plagued with murdered?" Filthy questioned "Why yes, that is exactly what I'm telling you," Shining looked from Filthy to the Manager and frowned.

"I call bullshit on that being a coincidence," he decided as he picked the Manager up, the second he was on his feet he was decked in the face by the combined forces of Applejack and Rainbow Dash. "Hey," Shining said pulling away from the two. "Do that shit again and his lawyer can use it to get him off from being punished for his crime.

"Wait!" The Manager cried out as Shining dragged him away "It wasn't me you have to believe me," As The Manager was brought in for questioning a few ponies in Purple suits made their way into the building.

"The hell are these guys?" Rainbow asked.

"They work for the Fazbear Musume," Filthy said with a smile "I manage that one personally, There here to take the Toy Animatronics in for maintenance before putting them up on display at the Musume, they were the only ones ever made, and sadly Fazbear Jr's name had been dragged through the mud far to deeply for me to even consider fixing it, We'll tear down the building and just build the normal Fazbear Pizzeria in-"

"Sir," On of the Purple suits said as he picked up the lid of the Puppet's box "The Puppet is missing,"

"Check Parts and Sevices, it might have been damaged or something," Filthy sighed before turning to the 3 Mares in front of him. "I've very sorry for all you've lost," He said "But I must ask you to leave, once the Animatronics and Games have been removed we'll be closing the doors for good," Filthy suddenly turned on the spot "Careful with Springbonnie, he's not in the best condition, but a deep cleaning should get him looking good as new," Filthy gave a small smile before adding "Oh! And don't fix the ear, It'll give the Animatronic character," Twilight and the friends looked at each other.

"I gotta go...talk to her aunts," Rainbow muttered as she headed out.

"I got so many calls to make," Applejack said as she started tearing up "Oh Sweet Celestia, what am I gonna tell Big Mac and Granny?" Twilight watched her two friends head off into the night and was about to go track down Shining armor when one of the Purple suits returned with the damaged Puppet.

"Holy shit," He said once he got the Filthy rich "Sir First we found Fredbear, second we found a full set of Core Animatronics in the Parts and Sevice room," Filthy didn't react for a moment.

"What?" he asked in confusion "Why the hell do they have a core- oh wait yes, of course, this was gonna be a normal Freddy Fazbears Pizza but Diamond Tiara asked if I could add a carousel for her, and...things just got a little out of hand, well that saves us a shit ton of time, see if ponyville has any vacant buildings for sale, if they do buy it and send the core 4 there, we'll make it the new Ponyville Freddy Fazbears, If we do things right we can have it open for business before the end of the-oh what the?" Filthy rich looked down at the Puppet and frowned "What the fuck happened to you?"

"I got my shit kick in," The Puppet replied, he was immediately dropped by the Purple suit as he and Filthy both jumped back in shock.

"Did that thing just talk?" The Purple suit demanded.

"Did that thing just swear?" Filthy Rich demanded as the Puppet began tapping on the floor.

"Thanks, I wanted to bid the floor a fond Farewell," Filthy looked at the Puppet as he slowly gave it a large Grin.

"Don't take this one to the museum, take it to Fazbear entertainment headquarters in Manhattan, We've been trying to make a Security system Smart enough to guard a build all on its own, seems somewhere along the line this little guy was equipped with a highly advanced Ai Core." The Purple suit nodded and picked the Puppet back up, holding it away from his body as he did so. as he was taken away The Puppet looked back to Twilight and said very simply.

"It was William," He called out "Not the Manager, Will murdered the kids, and I broke his arms for it," As the Puppet was taken away Filthy smiled and Twilight frowned.

"How reliable is that thing?" She asked.

"In its current state Probably not very much, it's very likely that it might just not like this Will person, you know angry evil Robot's gaining sentience, we'll test it out, I'll send you a letter if we see anything...incriminating when we check it's memory,"

"Wait, why if you can do that then you should gather all the Animatronics and-"

"These guys are turned off," Filthy said pointing to the Mange and Toy Bonnie as they were being packed up carefully. "Doing that kind of fucks up their inner robotics so we ain't getting anything from them, and the core four in the back weren't finished so they don't have it," Filthy gave an awkward cough and made to shake Twilight's hand, changed to go for a pat on the back, and decided to just clap his hands. "When you do sue us, please don't take it personally if my Wife sends you hate mail," Twilight looked at him, angry at his joke for a second, before seeing the serious look on his face.

She didn't say anything to him and instead teleported to Shining. Filthy stood in place for a moment before calling out "Be Careful with the Carousel, I want It to function properly when we install it, and Careful with Balloon Colt and Mangle, kids are always handling them, use gloves and give them a good wash before boxing them up, Check to see if any of the games they have here were specially made for this location, and careful with the plushies," As Filthy got to work making sure the restaurant was emptied of anything valuable the Puppet was placed in a box, just as the top was put on it felt it's body go stiff.

"Guess it's 6 am," The Puppet muttered as it closed its eyes, the second he closed his eyes he suddenly felt different, very different and he shot up, he was laying on a none existent floor, around his on either side was an endless row of doors. He rubbed his eyes, then saw his hands. they were black, with claw-like fingers, and looked like they were covered in fur. His ears lifted up in shock, they lifted high when he realized he had ears and he shot to his feet.

"Where am I?" He Demanded his demonic voice sending chills down his Spine, Suddenly a mirror, appearing as if simply because he wanted it to, revealed to him what he was, he was Freddy, but more monstrous, with a Golden Hat and Tie and a Mouth in his stomach. He stepped away from the reflection of his new nightmarish self. He once again looked at his hands before blinking.

"I'm a Nightmare,"

Author's Note

I'm 100% Sure no one saw that ending coming, Hope you enjoyed the story. There will be a Sequal.

A Different kind of night

The 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,"
