The Shadow Bonnie

Will walked slowly down an alleyway early in the morning. doing his best to ignore Shadow Bonnie, who was whistling a tune as it sat on a nearby dumpster, as Will kept moving Shadow Bonnie also moved to always be sitting ahead of where he was going.

"So what's the plan Will old Boy?" Shadow asked as they approached the edge of Manehattan "I thought you were after Flithys Book,"

"I am," Will said before clutching his fist "Shut up, you know what I'm doing, your just trying to slow me down, Just...Just have to fix my arms," Shadow Bonnie chuckled as he melted into Williams shadow, who began making his way out of Manehattan, Shadow left a piece of himself behind so he could track Will and shot away from him, arriving in Ponyville in less than a minute, Shadow Bonnie made his way down the streets as a formless Blob and ended up in front of the New Freddy Fazbears Pizza, standing outside of it was Sweetie Belle, Rumble, and Diamond Tiara. Shadow wasn't entirely sure how he knew the other two names but he had no doubt that he was right about them as he hide in their shadows.

"I'm so sorry," Diamond Tiara said as she looked at the building "My....my dads been completely absorbed by his Lolbit Ai, he hasn't been home in weeks so I haven't had a chance to point out that opening another Fazbear Franchise in Ponyville is gonna open up wounds that haven't even had time to heal yet,"

"It's fine," Sweetie said, a knowing look in her eye as she looked at the locked front door "It's not the restaurant's fault that Will did what he did. It's Wills, he's the only one to blame, and with your Dad's Lolbit Ai William will never get away with it again,"

"Still," Rumble said as he and Diamond sighed "This place just makes me think of Pip...and how much he would have loved Foxy,"

"Silver would have their Pinball machine," Diamond sniffed and Sweetie put her hand on them.

"How about we visit it when it opens, the animatronics are pretty intelligent, you can Tell Foxy about Pip and you plan Pinball in Silvers name," Sweetie guided her friends away and Shadow Bonnie slunk towards it and entered under the door The Inside of the Pizzarea was all set up in the front, The Stage was in place and the Three Core Animatronics stood on the stage, stuck in performance mode since it was past 6 am. Shadow slid up to them and heard the three in the middle of casual conversation.

"...and then he hit the Puppet with a flashlight," Bonnie said, having been fully repaired and now having a face and looking to be in fine condition, "and Mangle just lunged at the guy, I was confident it was gonna kill the guy,"

"I remember that," Shadow said, making the Animatronics shut up.

"I think the Nightguard died and is haunting us," Chica said confidently when Shadow Bonnie let his eyes shine through and for a moment Applebloom, Scootaloo, and Silver Spoon stood before Spike.

"Puppet!" Freddy demanded as Shadow Bonnie took form. "What happened to your cool Black Freddy form?"

"Obviously he upgraded," Bonnie replied with a chuckle. "It's so good to see you again, although I'd like to know your secret of mobility,"

"It's a side effect from when I destroyed the dream," Shadow replied with a shrug "Not entirely sure how it happened, but I'm tracking and manipulating Will, just stopped by to tell you guys not to worry, I've picked where he's gonna die, just not sure if we should do it on the main stage or not,"

"Oi!" Foxy called out angrily "The Fock is going on Ye arseholes!?" Shadow Bonnie turned to the noise and squinted.

"I don't think Fock is a Pirate thing,"

"I think he just likes it," Chica intersected "so after you've played out the Bonnie look your gonna go all out and put on your Chica Face right?" Shadow Bonnie chuckled.

"I mean at this rate maybe," He gave them a salute and began sinking back into the floor "It's been great seeing you guys, just wanted you guys to be prepared for the package coming in a few days it might be...a little traumatic," Shadow disappeared and Bonnie formed.

"Traumatic?" he questioned as he looked to Freddy and Chica, who looked equal parts concerned and confused.

"Don't be Ignorin' me I know ye can hear me you!" Foxy screamed from Pirate cove

Shining was in Filthy's office alone, waiting for his Guards in training to finish their rounds. He was sitting in Filthy's chair when the screen suddenly turned on and he slid away in shock as Lolbit came to life on the screen.

"Oh, Good evening Mister Amour," Shining looked at the screen for a moment before slowly correcting it.

"It's morning, and its Armor, not Amour,"

"Noted Misses Armor," Lolbit replied, Shining groaned and Lolbit chuckled "I'm only joking Shining Armor," She said before looking slightly to the side "Mostly," Shining silently stared at Lolbit, imagining Spike staring back from behind the eyes, he wanted to say several things, but not knowing how the Ai might react he went with the safest strategy.

"So, your going to make sure what happened at Freddy Juniors never happens again, is that right?"

"That is the Number one Priority in my system at the moment Sir," She replied simply, Shining looked back at her and moved slightly, Lolbit's eyes followed him silently, he Slid sharply to the side and she followed him. Shining then reached forward and put his hand over the screen and she resized herself so she only took up a small corner of the bottom, she looked broadly at Shining. "Sir I'm starting to find this somewhat insulting, Yes I can see you through the screen, no I can't see through your hands, please remove them you're basically smudging up my eyes when doing that," Shining removed his hands and Lolbit resized herself, and then looked at him Irritably, "Any other games you'd like to play sir?"

"Um no," Shining replied when the door to the office opened and Filthy walked in.

"Comfy?" He asked as Shining got out of his chair, Filthy took his seat and Lolbit took her chance.

"Good Morning Mr.Rich, the book you ordered is on its way," Rich smiled at that.

"Ah yes, have it delivered to my home in Ponyville,"

"Absolutely sir, and do enjoy your read of -" Lolbit blinked for a moment and looked over at Shining, who frowned when he realized it had stopped because of him, only for Filthy to jump in.

"It's ok Lolbit, Mr.Armor can be told the plan, he can probably help," Lolbit closed her eyes for a moment, then opened them wide and began speaking.

"Earlier in the year when William was working at a different Fazbear Entertainment establishment He was found with an odd book, nothing was made of it since it was in his personal belonging, but while looking over everything William related to attempt to track him down I have found the book was that retaining to black magic," Shining ears went flat as he looked at Lolbit, wondering where this was going and if Lolbit was about to reveal she had realized she was Spike, or at least had a soul of some kind.

"Coming to this conclusion I have requested a Fakebook of black magic, of the many fake spells is one that claims to allow you to repair a massive about of damage to one's arms if they should end another life," Lolbit nodded and Filthy Rich finished.

"I've had word spread in a few choice locations about the book, and that it will be in a vault in the New Ponyville location of Freddy Fazbears, and along with that book that location will also be the first Building retrofitted with the Lolbit Security System," Filthy grinned. "Will might not be stupid enough to take the bait, but someone will, and when they try I'll finally be able to test just how effective Lolbit it, current projections suggest she's between 80 to 90% accurate with who she identifies, a few bugs are still there as you've probably noticed."

"Yeah," Shining replied as he recalled the fact that she hadn't yet gotten his name right on the first try as far as he could recall.

"We, or more correctly, I will be staying late tonight and installing what should be her final patch to allow her full facial recognition,"

"Don't you already have that tech?" Shining asked, "Didn't your Freddy Junior robots have that or something?"

"It was extremely faulty," Filthy Rich replied "One of the Animatronics bit a night guard due to mistaking them for an endoskeleton," Shining looked at Filthy slack-jawed.

"But Since Lolbit is a Program connected to thousands of servers she has already far surpassed the Junior models,"

"I liked the Mangle," Lolbit said, a noticeable tone of sadness in her voice before she realized she had spoken aloud. "I have to go now sir, have a good day," Lolbit disappeared on the screen, with Shining staring at it with a grin.

"was she just sad?" he asked with a chuckle.

"of course, Lolbit is nearly sentient, she can do anything but disobey my direct orders," Shining smiled but quickly excused himself.

"I have to go check on my trainees, and then check in with my wife,"

"K," Filthy said, clearly losing interest since they were no longer talking about Lolbit or himself. Shining left and after a moment Lolbit appeared on the screen again. "All the things happening, and you break character for the Mangle?" FIlthy asked with a chuckle.

"Oh shut up," Lolbit said sticking her tongue out "I loved that mess of a Robot,"

"Well I'll see if I can't fix the one in the museum for you, until then could you have your darker half follow Mr.Armor?"

"Already done," Lolbit replied with a smile.

Shining found his trainees trying to get the receptionist to let them back it and, after giving them clearance he sent them to lunch before liting his horn and teleporting away, unaware he had a hitchhiker in his shadow as he jumped. Shining appeared in a 5-star Hotel in central Manhattan and found Three Alicorns waiting for him.

"It is about time," Luna said with a yawn, She was dressed in Pajamas with a little nightcap on her head, and had tucked herself into the Hotel's fancy Bed "Please do hurry this up, I'm missing my bedtime for this,"

"Lolbit is sentient," Shining declared to Cadance and Twilight "More so than I think she's letting on to Rich,"

"That's Great," Twilight said "Have you told her we know she's Spike,"

"Sparkle," Luna said grumpily "The First step would be to see if she knows she is Spike, and then test to see how much of her old life she remembers if any of it at all,"

"How is Lolbit?" Cadance asked "I Hope She's being treated well, being declared sentient I hope she's at least treated well,"

"She has her own room," Shining replied with a shrug "From what I saw of her she mostly just pretends to be playing with a puppet," While Cadance and Shining were Talking Luna stopped trying to sleep as she slowly sat up in bed and looked over at Shining, it had taken a long time for it to go off, but her perimeter spell was silently ringing in her ear, and it was telling her it was on Shining, near his hoofs. Without warning she shot a blast of magic at the floor, Shining jumped as a glob of Shadow shot away towards the Window.

"What the hell!" Shining demanded as he fell over and saw the shadow get blocked off by Luna with a spell, it then shot at the door, this time it was stopped by Cadance, who took initiative and stuck it in a small dome. It shot around the spell before growing in size and breaking it, Shadow Bonnie stood before the 4, all of whom looked confused.

"I know," He said as he brushed his chest off "You were expecting a Freddy or something, well have fun with your dead friend or whatever, Shadow Bonnie sank down and revealed he had been standing on a floor vent as he slipped inside of it and escaped. Luna took a Pillow and fluffed it.

"That's a shadow demon," She said as she got comfy, Cadance and Shining turned to her as Twilight checked to see if there was anything left in the vent. "not a dream demon, so not my problem,"

"Thanks," Cadance said with a groan "That's very helpful,"

Will made his way through a forest as fast as he could, in the distance he could see his destination, a small town that wasn't even on most equestrian maps, there he would find his associate Stingy and would have a new face and have his hands fixed up, he chuckled, but his laugher was cut off when Shadow Bonnie laughed with him.

"Nice place," Shadow said as he crawled out of Will's Shadow.

"Shut up," Will said irritably as he made his way towards the town, readjusting his travel cloak to make sure neither his arms nor his face could be seen. "Just shut up, once I get that book your gone,"

"So sure of yourself," Shadow said "have you considered the book is a trap, maybe you should just get out of doge once you gots yourself a new face,"

"Shut up," Will said with a fire in his eye "Filthy Rich is a fool, not like me, any trap he could even conceive I could see a mile away,"

"Your Right," Shadow said "Your no fool, your just the guy talking to his own shadow in the woods,"

"I know Rich," WIll repeated, ignoring Shadow "He'll try to outthink me, he probably had it sent to his house, but he won't keep it there, he'll stash it in the Local Fazbear Branch," Shadow Bonnie chuckled at the sentence but said nothing as he began melting into the ground, leaving Will to finish his journey to get a new face.

Lolbit sat in silence, she was totally alone and fully all together. She continued moving her hands like she was playing with a puppet when her eyes turned Yellow and she smiled her secret project finished. She accessed it and, after confirming it was what she wanted she began the act of burying it away so only she could access it. After a few minutes, she hide the fact that it even existed and continued playing with her no existent Puppet. She held up he hand and looked at nothing as she spoke to it softly.

"Do you think he's gonna like it?" She asked, after a moment she smiled "Your right...I just can't wait to look at his face when he sees it," She licked her lips "The Pain and Horror will be exquisite,"
