The sound of bone's crunching and Wills scream's played again before switching back to Purple eyes before the AI stood Shining Armor, in the background the Former manager of Freddy's Jr was being freed from custody due to lack of evidence linking him as a accomplish, Filthy Rich was talking to Princess Cadance who had shown up as a substitution to Twilight as per said missing Princesses Request.

"Would you like to see it again Sir?" the Ai asked Shining.

"No, but I would like you to make a copy of it if you can," The Ai's purple eyes flashed for a moment and once they stopped they had orange outlines.

"Your request had been done, Please go to Mr.Riches private office to retrieve the Disk with your Evidence upon it," Shining lit his horn and disappears, the Ai looked around in silence, unable to turn itself off and return to the Nightmare to aid it's friends despite it's best efforts. With another flash, Shining returned with the disk in his magic and handed it off to one of the guards who had come with him to be properly stored until it was needed. The Ai waited tentatively for Shining to say something but instead, he walked to his wife and Filthy rich, the Ai's screen glitched again and its eyes had changed again, they were larger and circular in shape, surrounded in orange, the inside was black with purple eyelids giving it the ability to emote with its eyes, it had white pupils and Black eyelashes that seemed connected to the rest of the black in its eye, Its eyes looked annoyed as they followed Shining armor to the rest of the group.

"Your Welcome," She said with a hint of sarcasm aimed at Shining as he joined the group. Without the ability to turn herself off the Ai was forced to sit and watch as the group talked at a distance too far for her to hear, she looked around slowly, her machine neck moving aggravatingly slowly. As she did this she attracted the attention of some of the workers, one of them caught her eye and she watched them rush from their spot above and called down loudly allowing her to hear.

"Mr.Rich the Ai had evolved again!" Filthy rich immediately lost all interest in the Princess and her husband and rushed to the Ai.

"It's moving!" He said, his eyes almost sparkling as he watched his creation move to look at him, above her the control pad that was supposed to be used to make it look around lay unmoving on a table "It's moving on its own accord!" as Filthy marveled at his new AI Shining armor and Cadance made their way to him.

"Marvel over your machines on your own time," Shining said seriously "Will was already gone before we even moved against him, his apartment was in flames when we got there, I need any information you have on him,"

"I didn't know the guy," Filthy Rich replied bluntly "Ask that pathetic excuse for a mana-Oh look she's changed her eyes!" as Filthy fawned over his new Ai Shining moved to question the Manager and Cadance stayed with Filthy.

"You seem really fond of this thing," She noted, earning a merry look from Filthy Rich.

"This Little machine will be my 100% guarantee that no one is ever killed in one of my Restaurants again," He said loud and proud "Her potential is limitless, She was given the simple order to obey me, and thanks to your husband access to a network that allows her to scan someone's criminal history and public history, no other orders and no software and she has already designed a set of eyes for us to look at and has gain control over her body withing less than an hour of being operational," He looked around happily "Just think, this time next year she could be running half the company,"

"Well," Cadance said as the workers began muttering amongst themselves "I can at the very least appreciate your dedication to make sure nothing like this ever happens again," Filthy rich pulled himself together and turned to the princess very business-like.

"Thank you, Children are my primary customers, and if Will could get away with it, other unicorns could too, and that is not something I will allow to remain even slightly possible," As the Ai watched them talking it realized that when it had been Nightmare it had bluntly refused to give Will's identity to Luna but had instantly sold him out to Filthy Rich, it existed in silence pondering why it had refused as Nightmare but had happily delivered as the nameless Ai it currently was.

The room was dark, empty, and quiet. Multiple displays lined the wall's and dotted the room, in the middle a Banner had been set up for the newest exhibit, Springbonnie and Fred bear had been set up in the middle of the room, Springbonnie was missing an ear and a few chunks of his body had been removed due to pieces of flesh being stuck in them along with a few bloodstains, it looked to be in horrible condition but stood tall, next to it was Fred bear, who had been deep cleaned and looked to be in excellent condition, it lay on the floor in suit mode while Sprinbonnie was in Animatronic mode. Fred bear sat in silence, unsure how long it had been since he had been stuck in place, his feet were bolted to the floor and he lacked the ability to remove them so he was stuck indefinitely just sitting there, waiting for something to happen.
"How dull," Fredbear exclaimed dully to the empty room, "I wonder what the others are doing? I bet Puppets already crafted a plan to take revenge on Will," he looked around the empty room and sighed "I wonder if any of the others are stuck in this place," Fredbear gave a sigh before continuing to sit in boredom, knowing that he would most likely be stuck in place for a very long time. Fredbear shut his eyes, only to find himself looking at a convulsing door with black tar spewing out of it. Nightmare Fredbear looked at the door for a second, before looking around the area while scratching his head.

"How odd," He said when he looked at his Nightmarish body "How very odd, well I suppose I am already dead, so I don't have much to lose," Fredbear reached out to the door and was suddenly standing in the middle of a bedroom filled with screams. Fredbear looked at two small children in confusion, before he could ask anything Sweetie bell rushed forward and smacked his leg, as soon as she touched him he melted from a Nightmare Fredbear to normal Fredbear, and then into a Fredbear colored Starlight.

"Well I don't understand any of this," Fredbear Starlight said as she looked at her arms "But I think I'm fine with it,"

"Fredbear!" Bonnie Silver spoon cheered once she got over her panic "Welcome to our Eternal Nightmare, could you cover that door?" Still, visibly confused Starlight made her way to one of the doors and leaned against it.

"Hello Bonnie," She said casually "You have a face, how nice, And is that Mangle?"

"Apparently not," Silver spoon said looking over at Sweetie "Just a friend of mine from before I was dead,"

"Oh, did she die too? How very sad,"

"I am not dead yet," Sweetie snapped as she looked at the bed and watched the Freddies disappear, "Just keep that door shut and we-" Sweetie was cut off sharply when she was sent flat on her face as Nightmare Bonnie slammed into the door, They could see the Nightmare make its way into the room and Silver rushed to the door, trying to keep her own demon away from Sweetie, Starlight rushed to help both she and Silver managed to slam the door shut, Nightmare Bonnie giving little resistance to them, just as the door shut they heard laughter and looked to the bed and saw three Freddiles sitting on it with Freddy's hand reaching out from under the bed, all signs of Freddy disappearing as soon as they looked at it.

"I'm sorry," Starlight said looking around the room "But what's happening?"

"Well unless I miss my guess you just made the Nightmare worse with your arrival,"

"Oh I apologize, should I leave?"

"Can you leave?" Silver asked with a raised ear. Starlight didn't respond as she leaned against the door for a second.

"Oh, I guess I can't," She said when both the door across from them burst open and the Closet door began rapidly opening.

"I'll get Foxy, you stop Chica," Sweetie cried out as she rushed to the closet with Silver and Starlight rushing to the other door and shutting it in Chica's face, who also offered little residence.

"I think when the rest of the gang arrives these guys might start fighting us on closing the door," Silver said as a Scream rang out from Foxy.

"I don't suppose you could tell me where we are could you?" Starlight asked as she rushed to the other door in preparation for it to swing open.

"Sure," Silver said as she checked the Freddy statue of the bed, "it's super simple and somewhat complicated at the same time,"

"How's she doing?" Twilight asked as she entered the room Sweetie Bell had been set up In, levitating next to her was a container of cold water and a few towels.

"She's getting worse," Rarity said as Sweetie lay silently on the bed, she was no longer moving but was sweating like crazy, and her face was flush with a fever, every now and again she would break her silence with a weak whimper. On the other side of the room, Luna sat with her eyes closed and her horn alight with magic, she hadn't moved since they had moved Sweetie and was doing her best to reinforce the magic keeping the nightmare liquid from escaping the dream door and spreading across Equestria, Suddenly however her eye's shot open and her wings extended to their full length.

"This can't be!" She cried out, making Twilight and Rarity both jump and almost drench Sweetie in the ice-cold water.

"What's wrong?" Rarity demanded as she made her way to Luna and left Twilight to tend to Sweetie with a cold cloth.

"Sweetie's dream is growing in power, as though there are more conscious thoughts flowing through her mind and feeding the Nightmare," Luna frowned before getting to her hooves, "I have no choice, I have to enter the Nightmare and attempt to find Sweetie if we can pull her out the dream should collapse in on itself since it's latched on to her mind like a leach,"

"Alright, then what are we waiting for?" Rarity demanded as she stood at the ready "Let's go get my sister if we all go,"

"I can only take myself and one of you, and I do not think it wise to Bring Twilight in, I can fight it off but if the dream leeches onto another Alicor it could gain enough power to overcome me, and if I fall so does every pony in Equestria, but If I delay for much longer that same fate will still overtake us,"

"Then should Rarity really be going with you?" Twilight asked as she looked over to her friend, "Raritys magic might not be all that impressive but she is a fashionista, and if a Nightmare can draw from someone as creative as her it could gain a different kind of power against you,"

"Regardless Rarity might be the only way for me to end this, if I can keep her away from the influence of the dream then I can use her relation to Sweetie as a conduit and force Sweetie into Rarity's dreams, leaving the Nightmare with no host to latch onto while also sealing away his dream magic and preventing him from doing this again,"

"What about Spike?" Twilight asked with a concerned look.

"I know how dear Spike is to your heart, but he is already dead, Sweetie is not, I must prioritize the living over the deceased, the best we can hope for is that doing this forces our dear departed Dragon and any of the other lost souls that have begun swarming Sweetie to pass on in peace,"

"But he has a host, he's alive in that Ai, if I can get it from Filthy rich, I can have Spike back,"

"There is no trama like being murdered," Luna said simply "even if he does remain in the host, he will do so with an overwhelming need to kill his killer, he may be Spike, but he'll never be the one your longing to have back," Luna lit her horns and both her and Rarity's eyes began glowing, they both developed a magic aura that leaked off of them and latched onto Sweetie, once the spell stopped both Rarity and Luna slumped over and where fast asleep on the floor.

Twilight looked at her friend and fellow princess for a while before frowning "Murderous Ai or not, he's still my little brother, and I will get him back,"

"Wow," Luna said as she and Rarity found themselves in what looked to be a Nightmarish Ponyville, "This dream was originally just a room, it's really gained some power,"

"Where's Sweetie?" Rarity asked as she looked around the streets, the air smelled acrid with a notable hit of copper, the Ponyville stream could be seen in the distance and the sticky red look of it was all Rarity needed to inform her she didn't want a closer look, the longer she looked around the town, the worse it seemed to get.

"This road seems to be made of giant teeth," Luna noted making Rarity retch when she looked down at the assortment of teeth she had been standing on, "I have no idea where Sweetie is," Luna said as she looked around "due to the number of souls in this place it's not likely to be accurate since it's trying to be several different peoples personification of Ponyville infected with Nightmare energy and the pain of death,"

As Luna was trying to pick a place to start Rarity made to walk onto the grass, but upon actually looking at it, decided the teeth were better as each blade of grass looked to be made of some sort of meat, upon looking up at the buildings her eyes widened as he came to the realization that each and every building seemed to be made of living flesh, Sugar Cube Corner was a horrific combination of organs, the cupcake that topped the building had a large eye in it where a window was supposed to be, and the candles where large thin tounges that were stretching out towards her and Luna, as though trying to grab them. Before Rarity could keep looking Luna scared her by putting her hoof over Rarity's eyes.

"Do you best to stare at anything, the more attention you give a location the more it develops under your gaze, staring at it for too long will only make it more dangerous," Before Rarity could respond a dim static noise filled the air, the broken noise very quickly got louder.

"Does listening to something make it stronger?" Rarity asked in fear.

"Sadly the longer we are here, the more dangerous it will become, hurry we must try and find Sweetie," Luna and Rarity rushed away from the static sound and slid into an alleyway, as soon as they disappeared from the streets the bloodstream began bubbling and the static noise grew louder and as Nightmare Mangle broke the surface of the stream. She looked around with her one eye, her second head mimicking her.

"Someone's here," It garbled as it clawed its way through the blood and made its way to shore, its jagged hands and feet causing the fleshy ground the bleed as it rapidly began moving down the street, following the scent of the newcomers, as it moved another creature emerged from the stream and followed it.

"Hello?" Nightmare Ballooncolt said as it licked its needle-like teeth and followed after Mangle to help partake in the hunt for the newcomers.

The Ai had lost all interest in the ponies surrounding it and was now silently slithering its way into every single network that it had access to in the building while Filthy Rich was having his workforce clear out of the room so he could run solo experiments with the Ai. Filthy Rich waited in silence while his workers finished off any of their tasks that couldn't be left waiting overnight, and waved to his last handful of employees as they left and closed the main door.

"Ai," Filthy rich said to get his robot's attention.

"One-second sir," It replied "I am currently updating my network status," Filthy looked sincerely shocked at the Ais comment.

"What? who told you to-"

"Your actions did sir," Ai replied simply "You wish to see what I am capable of doing, and I have reached the limited potential while running on the simple server that I have up to this point been running on, as such I am giving myself full network access to every server on the Primary Fazbear Server, as well as the server for your currently unfinished side project Circus Baby's pizza world," the Ai felt the need to smile at the look on Filthy's face and it's screen glitched out for a moment, upon being fixed its eyes were now attached to a simple white circle with a grey square sticking to the bottom of it acting as a sort of neck, on the circle was a smiling mouth with pointed teeth, the mouth had purple lipstick applied to it and after a moment the Ai started speaking again, it's mouth moving perfectly with the words as it spoke. "Is something the matter sir?"

"No," Filthy said as his look of shock slowly turned to one of glee "This is amazing, I can't even begin to put this into words, this is beyond science, this is beyond a simple Ai, this is sentience, tell me Ai, are you alive, can you think for yourself?"

"The answer to that requires a short story," Ai replied happily, Filthy grin only grew larger and the Ai began "When William Afton killed his first victim at Freddy Jr's he needed a way to dispose of the body, and he decided that the best place to hide it would be with the one animatronic that was used in the restaurant only once a day, The Puppet, This Animatronic was perfect, it had little to no maintenance requirements and would have simply been replaced instead of fixed due to the cheapness of its design, so there was no fear of his spell being found upon it before it's traces withed away to nothing, so he set the small dead body next to the Animatronic and used black magic to dissolve the body into The Puppet, making it apart of the Animatronic itself, but in doing so trapped the very soul of his victim in it and so William unknowingly breathed life into the Puppet, and you removed the Puppets core, and in doing so removed the soul and used it to make me,"

Filthy rich looked at the Ai in silence before he started laughing, his laugher becoming louder with each second before he spoke again "You are alive," he laughed "You are the pinnacle of technology, and the only three people who know the secret is me, you, and William!"

"Indeed sir," The Ai said happily before noticing the look of Filthy's face falter.

"No...No,no,no!" Filthy spun on the spot "If William is caught and confesses to this, the Princess is sure to steal you from me, I can't let him be caught, without William to testify there no proof that your anything other than my ultimate creation,"

"Well your in luck sir," The Ai said, once again gaining Filthy's attention "You don't want the guard to catch William, and I want him dead, what more I know that man will do everything in his power to make his next victim die in one of your restaurants, in fact being a wanted killer will only make him want to kill more so that he can show the world that he's the best at what he does, and when he does eventually return to a Fazbear restaurant...I will be there to make sure the secret of your amazing Ai is kept just that, a secret," The Ai smiled and Filthy returned it.

"Come then Dear Ai," Filthy made to start moving the machine holding the AI cor but stopped, "no, no you need a name, something easy and fun to say so children will want to buy toys made in your likeness" The Ai looked over to the oddly colored Foxy it was modeling itself off of, Filthy followed her gaze and smiled at it "The old mascot of our companies computer program, were making an Animatrnoic of it to be put in the museum along with the last of the old models, and I see no reason to change the face or name of Fredy Faz bears only Digital Animatronic, now then my new friend" Filthy turned to his new partner with a devilish grin "Let's get to Work Lolbit,"
