The Nightmare

Lolbit and Filthy rich were still in the workshop area that Lolbit had been set up in, Lolbit's face had once again evolved, now having ears attached to the circle that she was using as her head, along with a small black dot in the center of her face that was the beginnings of a nose. Filthy was currently busy making sure Lolbit had access to every single server he owned, even ones that had nothing to do with Fazbear entertainment, Lolbit was currently trying to gain control of the assembly line behind her, It looked to be a repair bay for Fazbear technology, from the security cameras in each location to the animatronic's themselves, she spotted many random pieces of the Fazbear family, a chica head, a hooked Foxy arm, and a fair assortment of different models of the same animatronic.

"We should be good to go," Filthy said as he finished giving her connection to the last server and switched his attention to a request Lolbit had given him "Any idea as to how long I should set the timer?" He questioned as he looked up at his undead Ai.

"one full day," Lolbit replied simply "If I need more time we can just restart the timer," Filthy very quickly set up her timer and waved at her.

"We should be able to finish setting up a highly secure room for your main core by then, until then you'll be heavily guarded," Filthy waved at his Ai before giving the command, "Lolbit, enter full sleep mode for the next 24 hours,"

"As you command sir," Lolbit smiled before the world went away and Spike found himself standing in the middle of the room, and was met with Sweetie belle running into him.

"Your back!" she managed to say before Starlight picked both Sweetie and Spike up and rushed to a door with them in her arms, slamming it in Chica's face as she did so.

"Hey there Fred bear," Spike said with a smile, Starlight looked down at Spike and cocked her head.

"Puppet? nice lipstick," Spike frowned and rubbed his hand against his face, noticing that while the left half was still colored like the puppet, the right half was now matching the color's of Lolbit, his arms didn't seem to fully exist either, as it constantly shifted from solid to see-through.

"Oh, I'm slowly turning into Lolbit," He said casually as he waved his hand around, "Wait...if I stop being the Puppet...does that mean I stop being Nightmare," Spike scratched his chin with his Puppet hand and looked around the room. "Bonnie," he said looking over to Silver, who was jumping from the closet to the bed and back again.

"Yeah?" She asked looking over to her friend.

"We can't stay here, it's become unstable, so long as I'm here the other three should arrive where ever I am, Since she's the only one not dead here we gotta get Sweetie out before this world tears itself apart,"

"Sounds better than this horror show," She said as she rushed to Starlight, once she got there Nightmare Bonnie slammed his door open and Starlight opened Chica's, who was now absent from the space behind the door.

"Rush it!" Spike cried out as Starlight dropped him and put both arms around Sweetie before running out the door with Silver and Spike hot on her tails, they found themselves in a long dark hallway and ran as fast as they could, Behind them, they could hear the Nightmares gathering and giving chase, Starlight didn't look back as she ran down the hallway with no end in sight, suddenly she was blinded by the light and was running across what looked to be a road of teeth, both Spike and Silver were gone but Sweetie was still being held tightly in her arms.

"What happened?" Sweetie asked as she blinked the light out of her eyes and looked at the Nightmare version of Ponyville.

"We're out of the room, but still in the Nightmare," Starlight noted when she heard a scraping noise and looked behind her, running behind them was her own Nightmare, Nightmare Fredbear, Starlight said nothing and instead started running to her absolute Limit down the road with Nightmare Fredbear hot on their trail, his large stomach mouth gnawing out at them, his hands raised outstretched and swiping at Starlight as she ran.

In another part of the town, Spike and Silver were both screaming as Nightmare Bonnie ran behind them, slowly closing in behind them.

Along with him was The Nightmarionne, who was riding on Nightmare Bonnie's back and staring at Spike, who was running as fast as he could.

"What is happening?" Silver demanded.

"I don't know," Spike snapped back as he and Silver tried to outrun the large Nightmare before hearing the sound of blaring static, Before Spike could locate it a hand grabbed him, and a wire arm wrapped around Silver Spoon and picked them both up, Spike looked to their captor and found Nightmare Mangle carrying them away and up the wall of a building, making the building bleed as she dug into it's gyrating flesh.

"This place makes me sick," Spike complained.

"It's quite terrible," Mangle garbled back, much to Spike's surprise.

"Wait...Mangle? like actual Mangle?" Spike looked at the Nightmare in confusion as it carried him and Silver away from their Nightmares, who began trying to climb the building after them, "What are you doing here? how are you here I didn't put a soul in you," Mangle didn't give him a solid answer and instead climbed to the roof of Sugar cube corner and dropped Silver while hugging Spike.

"Puppet," It garbled happily "we've been looking everywhere for you," It held Spike up and got a good look at him "I see the glitch warped you and Bonnie two," She set Spike down and turned to Silver, hugging her with just as much joy as she had Spike.

"What happened to you?" Silver asked as Mangle set her down "You and the toys just kind of broke,"

"Well one second we were in the restaurant and I was about to tear that exoskeletons face off for breaking Puppets face, then suddenly me and all the others found ourselves here, no children, no adults, and nothing stopping us from leaving the restaurant, me and Balloon colt were on search and rescue duty, trying to find you two along with Fredbear, we were searching the river when suddenly the entire town went crazy and we were both sucked into the river, we tried to get out but we couldn't find the surface no matter how long we swam up, then we heard strange voices and found our way up, Baloon Colt and I were trying to find the source of the voices, but then I heard you two screaming!"

Spike smiled at the story, he had never thought much about how he had brought the toys to life, but knowing they were living in his mind meant there was a chance to bring them back as Lolbit if he tried hard enough.

"Can you take me to everyone?" He asked excitedly.

Twilight made sure the room was secured with a spell before leaving Sweetie to Luna and Rarity in the dream world, once the door was shut she lit her horn and teleported back to Fazbear industries. She was very quickly met with members of the royal guard, who were patrolling the area while Shining was on sight. After a quick salute, one of the unicorns teleported her to Shining, who was alone in a room, looking over a plastic 3D map of Equestria. Shining visibly jumped at the teleportation

"Twilight!?" he questioned as he hugged his sister, "I thought you were dealing with an emergency, What are you doing here?"

"Turns out me being there only made the problem worse," Twilight said as she let go of him "Basically a living Nightmare is attacking the dream world, Luna has it contained and there's nothing left I could do so I came to solve another problem, where's Filthy Rich?"

"He's in the robotic's workshop working on his Ai, think the man's gone crazy trying to make sure no one is murdered in one of his establishments again, I can appreciate his drive to save lives but he's definitely got a screw loose, made everyone clear out so he could have some personal time with his Ai," Twilight thought carefully about what she said next, having no proof that Spike was in the Ai and no way of proving it at the moment she chose her story carefully.

"Well, there's a chance that the Nightmare and that Ai are linked,"

"Wait...linked? Are you telling me that Filthy's Ai is actually sentient enough to have dreams when...what did he call it? Sleep mode? yeah, It can dream in Sleep mode?"

"Luna seemed convinced," Twilight replied "And that's all I needed to come and give this Ai of his another once over," Twilight looked at the plastic map of equestrian that the room they were in seemed to be dedicated to. "What's with the scale model of Equestria?" Shinning pointed to a spot on the map and a Little Freddy Fazbear's Pizza could be seen as the only building that actually had any design to it.

"It's a map of all Fazbear entertainment owned building in Equestria,"

"Oh, well at least you can post guards around them and keep the search for William alive, but I don't have time to help with that, can you take me to Filthy?"

"Yeah, sure he'll love to hear his AI can dream," Shining left the room and Twilight followed him, as they walked Shining looked back at her, "You doing alright?" He asked in a serious tone "without...him?" Twilight didn't respond to the question and Shining shook his head "Twi, I'm here if you need someone to talk to,"

She didn't reply immediately and instead waited until they were outside the room holding the Ai before looking back at her brother "We can talk about this later," She opened the door and the two walked in to find that the room was now full of Special worker comprised of only Unicorns, Filthy was currently yelling at someone over a walkie-talkie.

"I don't care how expensive it is, just do it, I want construction to begin before sunrise you hear me," Filthy noticed the Princess and held up a finger to signifies he needed a moment before he could talk "I'll have to go do better than your best you understand," Filthy turned to Walkie-talkie off and tossed it onto a table with a few blue-prints resting upon it. "Princess Twilight, so good to see you again, I assume you hear to talk about the problem my Ai is causing in the Dreamworld,"

"How do you even know about that?" Twilight demanded.

"Lolbit told me about it," Filthy replied as he pointed to Lolbit's exposed AI core.

"Yes, well as the Princess of Friendship, and on behalf of Princess Luna I am here to confiscate your AI and have it examined to find what is allowing it to enter the Dreamworld,"

"Why of course, I just need to see the appropriate paperwork,"

"I am a Princess-" Twilight began only to be cut off as Filthy turned and grabbed a scroll from the table and read from it.

"By the Authority of Princess Celestia, this Ai core is to remain with one, Filthy Rich, as a team of Authorized Unicorns scans it to try and identify the problem clarified in your letter," Filthy smiled and offered the scroll to Twilight "I appreciate your concern Princess but I have already contacted Princess Celestia and she had sent me a team of Qualified Unicorns to try and find the problem the AI core is causing in the dream world," Filthy smiled to Twilight, who was fuming as she looked over the scroll, she tossed it back to Filthy and lit her horn, teleporting away and leaving Shining confused.

"Where'd she go?" he asked in confusion.

"My guess, to go talk to Celestia," Filthy replied casually "Now if you'll excuse me we have a few scans to complete," Shining backed out of the room and shut the door behind him, "Shame their scanning for the wrong thing," Filthy mumbled under his breath before clapping his hands "So boys, find anything?"
