Five Nights of Friendship

The Cove

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

Foxy had all of his plans, blueprints, and maps laid on the floor of his Pirate Cove, all mentioning the innerworkings of each of his friends, the layout of the pizzeria, and the terrain surrounding it. He had a pencil in his non-hook hand, and he was furiously scribbling away, making notes on a blueprint of Bonnie. He muttered to himself while doing this.

"Secondary throat pipe, built-in tuner, voicebox..." He moved on to a blueprint of Chica after he finished making notes of Bonnie's endoskeleton and accessories. "Balance module, motherboard, voicebox again, power module..." He realized that halfway through all of his notes, he didn't have Freddy's blueprint.

"GAAH! DAMMIT!" He threw his hands up, and accidentally hooked himself in the forehead. "Ow." He rubbed it with his endoskeleton hand.

"Hey Foxy! Wanna try some of the butterscotch pie that the pink one and I made?" Chica shouted from outside the cove.

"Um, sure. I'll be out in like..." He shuffled through all the papers on the floor. "10 minutes."

"It's better cold, so why not just get your slice now and bring it back with you?"

Foxy wasn't really paying attention. "Huh? Oh, sure." He poked his head out of the cove, and saw a slice of pie on the table closest to him. "Is this anyone's?" No one responded. "Aight, Imma just take it then" He leaned out and snatched it.
Damn, that smells good... He put his long snout closer to the pie and took a deep whiff. "Mmmm..." He then took a bite.

"HOLY TITS THIS IS FUCKING DELICIOUS" Foxy then downed the rest of the pie. He shook his head, trying to get himself back on task. He unrolled another set of blueprints, this time they were his own. He hesitated before picking up his pencil, as the blueprints showed that he had little to no endoskeleton showing. Foxy looked down at his legs, his chest, and his left hand. All endoskeleton... What would it feel like to have a whole suit? He sighed, and started making more notes on his blueprint. "Servo-locking mechanism, timed action circuitry..." He trailed off, letting the pencil scribble on the paper.

After a few hours, he was finished with all his notes, besides Freddy and Goldie's. Foxy knew that Goldie didn't have a blueprint, but he assumed that her suit would be similar to Freddy's. He opened the curtain slightly to see if anyone was out. Freddy, Bonnie, and Chica were all on stage. He didn't know where the ponies were, but he wasn't too concerned about them. Just in case anyone decided to come inside the Cove, he rolled up all the blueprints and maps, and shoved them into the corner of the cove. He had found Bonnie and Chica's blueprints in the backstage, but he didn't see Freddy's. He suspected that they were in the supply closet, as it was the only place that made sense other than the backstage. Foxy took one more look around the pizzeria, then dashed towards the closet. Once he was in, he shut the door behind him.

He turned to see the blue horse with the gay mane. He stifled a scream. It turned around, and also stifled a scream.

"What are ye doin' in here?" Foxy asked it.

"Well, I could ask the same to you, pirate fox... thing."

"Well, I'm lookin' for somethin'. Move over." Foxy shoved the pegasus to the side, and started rummaging through a box. His hook caught on a random sticky note. He tried to shake off the yellow piece of paper, but to no avail.

"What are you looking for?" The pegasus hovered over Foxy's shoulder.

"Nunya."

"What's a Nunya?"

"Nunya business!" He moved on to another box, and continued to search through that one.

"Rude. I was gonna offer you to help, but OK, Egghead."

"Well then help me, pissy!"

"WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FOR THEN?!" Foxy put a hook to it's chin, and shushed it.

"Keep it down, would ya? I don't wanna wake the crew."

"I'll get louder if you don't tell me." It took a deep breath.

"Fine, I'm looking for blueprints."

"What?"

"Blueprints." Foxy turned to the pony.

"Ye- I know what blueprints are, but why are you looking for them?"

"Don't ask questions you don't wanna know the answers to, Zoomer."

"My NAME is RAINBOW DASH." Dash fluttered up to the top shelves and started looking in a flimsy cardboard box.

"And my name's Foxy. Yay, we know each other, now shut up." He overturned a box, shaking it to see if anything would fall out.

After a few minutes of silence, Dash pulled a blue piece of paper out of a box. "Is this it?" She unrolled it so Foxy could see.

"Yes, yes it is! GIVE IT!" He tried to snatch it from her, but she was too high up.

"Oh really, now?" She kicked open the closet door and zoomed out.

"GIVE IT! I NEED THAT!" Foxy ran out of the closet, and chased her into the main area. She was flying close to the ceiling, out of Foxy's reach. She was looking at the blueprints with a puzzled look on her face.

"Why do you need a blueprint of Freddy? Are you gonna dismember him or something?"

"NO!"

"Are you gonna replace him?"

"NO!" Foxy stood on a table, swiping at the blueprints.

"Are you gonna rebuild him?"

"NO! JUST GIVE IT!"

"Not until you tell me what's going on!"

"FINE!" He fell off the table and sat on the floor in defeat. Dash lowered herself onto the ground. "I... don't know how to explain it..."

"How about in a song?"

"Oh of fucking course, a SONG only because Indigo wants more word count with less effort." Foxy glared at the invisible author.

"Shut up Foxy, it's a musical now. SING THE FOXY SONG, IT'S A GOOD SONG!!"

"UGH FINE"

The lights fade as the music rises up.

Foxy's silver eyes lit up the darkness as Rainbow Dash's jaw dropped. Hey mate, Foxy here, I finally made it, don't you fear. I'm here to tell you all my tales, but someone is approaching near. I prefer to be alone in my dark Pirate's Cove, but every now and then, I jump right out and then go for the guard, just sitting in the room. With no doors and no lights I will spell out his doom. But why do I find this pleasure in fright? I guess that's what happens when you don't see the light. The lights cut out, and a sudden spotlight shone on Foxy as he was polishing his hook. I just hide in the shadows... This is a prison to me! How I'd love to get out... Just so I could be free! So I could be free... He grabbed Dash by the wings BUT THERE IS NO ESCAPING! Everything cut to black. Dash thought she saw Bonnie move a little, even though he was currently supposed to be deactivated. Then her attention was drawn back to Foxy, who was now humming. "dum dum dum dum diddly dumdumdum dum dum dum diddly dumdumdum... dum diddly bum" Foxy was now suddenly behind Dash, leaning on her shoulder. Hey mate, Foxy here, I finally made it, Don't you fear! I'm here to tell you all my tales, but someone is approaching near... I prefer to be alone in my dark Pirate Cove, but every now and again I jump right out and then! Foxy was now on the stage, standing between Bonnie and Freddy. I ask my mates if they want to escape, and they say they do but not in the same way. Well, maybe I don't understand, but I will do the best I can! To help them find a way... To see a brighter day... He stepped off the stage. Hey, maybe I take escape a bit too literally, but any way that I can get out, I'll take it with no second thought, any way is a way for me, 'Cause all my dreams are all I've got! The lights cut out for a short second, then Foxy was a few feet in front of Dash, facing away from her. I just want to leave... I just want to be free! The dark has got a hold on me... So dark that I can barely see... I guess I'll wait it out till the end... Since I have nowhere else to go, I'll just take you to my den, I call it Pirate's Cove! Foxy's eyes were black and white. Dash tried to scramble away, but Foxy swung his arms down at her back legs, his hook digging into the flesh. Dash screamed, and frantically tried to escape Foxy's iron grip, but he was dragging her into the Cove. He threw her against the wall of the Cove, and closed the curtains. Dash's breath sped up, her heart pounding in her chest, similar to the pounding beat of The Foxy Song. I ask my mates if they want to escape, and they say they do, but not in the same way. Well, maybe I don't understand, but I will do the best I can to help them find a way... To see a brighter day. Hey, maybe I take escape a bit too literally, but any way that I can get out, I'll take it with no second thought. Any way is a way for me, 'Cause all my dreams are all I've got! Foxy turned back to Dash, his hook glinting with her blood.

"WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO TO THE ANIMAL THINGS?! TO MY FRIENDS?! TO ME?!" Dash demanded. She flutted her wings, but they were bruised from Foxy grabbing them, and she couldn't run, now that there was a deep gash in one of her legs.

"Well, the blueprints are so that I know how to incapacitate them, so I can bring them outside. So we can escape this accursed pizzeria. I don't particularly care about your pony friends, they can die for all I care."

"HOW DARE YOU!!"

"As for you... I can't have you telling anyone about my plan, so... I'll have to silence you." He raised his hook, and slashed across Dash's face. The metallic smell of blood filled the air as thick crimson liquid dripped down her face. She winced, and poked her tounge out of her now open cheek. Foxy raised his hook again, and was about to swing it down at her face again, when white arms grabbed around his face and pulled him away from Dash. LOLBit. "LET GO OF ME YOU FUNTIME RIPOFF!!"

LOLBit started swearing in binary as she threw Foxy against one of the walls, making a loud clattering noise. "01010000 01000101 01000101 01010000 01000101 01000101 01010000 01001111 01001111 01010000 01001111 01001111!"

The sound of the doors opening shot through the air as the other 5 ponies galloped down the hall. An empty golden bear appeared out of nowhere as Foxy threw himself at LOLBit, who was still swearing in binary. "01101000 01110100 01110100 01110000 01110011 00111010 00101111 00101111 01110111 01110111 01110111 00101110 01111001 01101111 01110101 01110100 01110101 01100010 01100101 00101110 01100011 01101111 01101101 00101111 01110111 01100001 01110100 01100011 01101000 00111111 01110110 00111101 01101111 01001000 01100111 00110101 01010011 01001010 01011001 01010010 01001000 01000001 00110000." Bonnie's eyes shot open as he leapt off the stage and ran at Foxy, his guitar aimed at Foxy's head.
