The Shadow Bonnie

Sweetie Belle was silent as she stood in line, with her were Dianmond TIara and Rumble, the trio had become close friends after the aftermath of the Fazbear Massacre, all three of them looked up at the building they were waiting to get inside, the Grand Opening of the new Freddy Fazbear Pizza. Diamond Tiara could be heard quietly cursing her own father.

"I bet Pip would have loved Foxy," Rumble muttered with a frown, you think the Animatronics inside are as... lively as the old ones were?"

"I'm counting on it," Sweetie said with a determined look as she watched the line begin to slowly move, she had to force herself to stay strong as memories of her in line with the other two crusaders and Spike all talking about drinks and a Pizza that Spike had never gotten to have. Sweetie and her companions said nothing as they made their way inside, the staff seemingly not carrying that several children were entering alone, most probably thanks to Diamon Tiara being both the daughter of the owner and the owner of a Lolbit watch. The trio split apart, Rumble headed to Pirates Cove while Diamon and Sweetie walked up the main stage, The Three Main Animatronics could be seen talking to one another.

"I'm telling you it feels weird," Bonnie said as he moved his free hands around his face.

"Not having a face for a long while can do that to a guy," Freddy replied casually "But you have to admit being all put together again is a fantastic feeling,"

"I can't decide what I like more," Chica cut it as she took pride in striking a pose, one hand on her hip and the other proudly holding up her Cupcake for all to see "Having hands or having an unbroken jaw,"

"I certainly do like having two of them now," Bonnie noted as he held up his off hand that was holding his guitar "Certainly happy they found my Gutair," Bonnie smiled at it before slowly looking out across the pizzeria "Do you think the Puppets ever going to come back?"

"Didn't the Puppet become a nightmare demon?" Chica asked as she scratched her chin,

"Oh I'm sure he's passed that phase and is back to his old self by now," Freddy said with absolute Certainty.

"Wow," Diamond cracked a smile as the Freddy gang all argued about the true fate of their old friend the puppet. "My dad certainly has cracked the code on making realistic AI," Sweetie didn't say anything as she looked up at the Animatronics on stage, who quickly went back to pretending not to be alive upon realizing ponies were filling up the restaurant. All she could think about was her time trapped in the Nightmare with Spike, knowing who the Animatronics really were filled her heart with sorrow as she looked up at them.

Diamon left Sweetie, intent to do her own bit of exploration as Sweetie had initially asked her friends to come with her to see just how safe the new Freddy's way was, Sweetie stared at the Animatronics for what felt like a lifetime before the constant motion of Chica caused her to eventually notice Sweetie.

"Hey," She said in a hushed tone that Sweetie could barely hear "It's that Magic child from the dream," Bonnie and Freddy both looked down and Freddy chuckled.

"Oh, well hello again," Freddy greeted kindly "Please don't turn me into a little girl again, it's bad for the brand,"

"Hi," Sweetie waved nervously before noticing a distinctly hostile look from Bonnie.

"Yeah, you're the kid that blew up The Puppet's Lady Foxy form," Bonnie noted with an angry tone "Hey thanks for killing my Brother and friends, really appreciate that,"

"They weren't even real," Sweetie's defense only caused Bonnie to turn away from her.

"They were real to me," Bonnie replied angrily.

"Don't mind him," Freddy said as Bonnie stared out at the Children at the arcade, determined not to speak to Sweetie again. "He spent a lot of time with the Toys back when it was just him, The Puppet, and Fredbear,"

"He doesn't like us quite as much as them," Chica noted casually "But hey since you're here maybe you can help us, we'd really like the Puppet to come home since you were the last one to be with him do you know where he might be?"

"The Puppet is Lolbit now," Sweetie said calmly pointing up to a blank screen "It's going to be a massive security system that keeps all Freddy Fazbear from having to go through what happened to you guys," Bonnie turned his head to the blank screen but said nothing to Sweetie as he continued playing on his Guitar.

"Oh, Lolbit?" Chica chuckled at the information, "That's fun and all but Why'd he change his name?"

"Oh, well 'he' is now 'she' I guess, and Lolbit is less of an original character now and is more of an offshoot of Foxy or Mangle,"

"I knew it," Bonnie snarled, getting a few people to look at him before going back to the Pirate show that was kicking off the Restaurants Grand opening, "I knew Mangle was his favorite," Bonnie looked mildly hurt at the news before looking away from Sweetie again.

"He's going through a lot right now," Freddy said to Sweetie in a tone she knew Bonnie could hear "All his friends died recently,"

"She's the one who killed them," Bonnie retorted angrily.

"I'm sure she feels bad," Chica looked to Sweetie expectantly, whose only response was to shrug, Chica frowned at the response "You could at least pretend to care ya know,"

"They were just figments of Lolbits Imagination," Sweetie said with a shrug "What's there to feel bad about,"

"Alright, I kind of hate her too," Chica decided as she turned away from Sweetie.

"Sorry kid," Freddy said with a shrug "I hope you enjoy your time at Freddy's but I find what you said kind of hurtful, and frankly I'm kind of scared of you so..." Freddy joined his crew and the three all did their best appear lifeless, Sweetie walked away, knowing she had nothing but time to get back in their good graces seeing as they couldn't leave the grounds. She Joined Diamond and Rumble in watching the end of Foxy's Pirate show, which was him telling a tall tale about him being a sailor and fighting a giant whale that had saved him from being apprehended by the Equestrian Navy.

After the end of his tale, the crowd quickly dispersed as Freddy and his crew began queuing up for a song that was heard throughout the Pizzarea.

Rumble looked up at Foxy, who was slowly being hidden by a curtain, a sign in front of his stage showing his next show time wasn't until noon, Rumble was about to walk away when Foxy reached out and pulled the Cutrain back with his hook as he looked down at Rumble.

"What be wrong lad?" Foxy asked of him "Ye look like yur Treasures been Pillaged,"

"Oh, I...just lost one of my mates recently," Rumble said, rubbing his shoulder awkwardly, having been caught off guard by the Animatronic talking to him directly, Foxy seemed to take Rumble's comment to heart and tore his curtain to get it out of his way.

"Why are you here then Lad?" Foxy demanded "Who's he been caught by? The blasted Navy I bet,"

"No, I mean he died recently, he was killed by a guy dressed up as a Bunny,"

"That bastard!?" Foxy demands, earning all of the kids' attention at the swear "Oh his kill count grows does it, well you can rest easy lad, A friend 'O mine is personally hunting 'em down, that Purple Bastard won't be taking another life, and If I be seein' him before he's caught I'll take care to give him a beating for that mate 'O yours," Foxy wasn't able to say anymore as several employees quickly had him taken back into his cove.

"He ripped the curtain again," One of them groaned "That's the fourth one this week and we just opened today,"

"Forget about the curtain he was just swearing like a sailor to some children," The other employees noted "Get him back to parts and services, there's something wrong with him, he's far too violent" Sweetie and the others had to stand around for a few minutes as they were lectured about how what Foxy had said was bad and not to repeat it before being given vouchers for free drinks in exchange for not telling their parents about what Foxy had done.

"Typical daddy," Diamond sighed as she tossed the useless voucher to the side "Hiring random idiots that don't recognize me, Lolbit please contact daddy and inform him the Ponyville Foxy is busted,"

"OK Miss Tiara," Lolbit replied in a polite tone as the workers replaced the sign with show times on it with one informing Guest Foxy was out of order. Foxy was quickly moved to Parts and Services, a fair number of the Restaurant goers saw him go by as he began insulting the Employees in a less vulgar way.

"Ye Navy Dogs won't be taking me without a Fight Ye Hear!?!?" Foxy demanded as he stood perfectly still, unable to move freely in the daylight hours if he was outside Pirates Cove. "Freddy, Avenge me!" Foxy cried out as he was pulled into parts and services.

"Don't mind him, kids," Freddy called out to regain the crowd's attention "That's just what happens when you drink a few too many Sodas," Freddy's poor joke earned a few chuckles from the crowd as he and his friends continued with the show.

"you guys heard that too right?" Rumble demanded of his friends once the adults left them be. "Foxy just said one of his friends is hunting that Will guy,"

"He was probably referring to Lolbit," Diamond noted casually "She was created specifically to track that bastard down," Diamond got a few looks thrown her way but she ignored them as she and her friends walked to an empty booth near the restaurant windows, the furthest seats from the main stage "doubt it will be too easy since he's probably rotting away in some uncharted part of an equestrian forest," Diamond waved to get the attention of an employee, who waved back. The Mare turned to the brown colt and pointed him to his requested destination.

"Just at the end of that hall," The Mare turned away from him to go serve some customers, and the Colt with the name Chestnut Blaze written on a little name tag attached to his shirt and made his way down a long hallway, passing a broom closet as he made his way to the office he was supposed to spend his night in,"

"Just need to find the book and I can ditch this place," Will muttered as he looked around the small office, once he was fully inside the computer switched on and Lolbit flickered to life.

"Hello," She greeted him politely.

"You," Will did his best to not sound like himself as he spoke, "Filthy hide a book in this place, where is it?" Lolbit looked at Chestnut for a moment before replying in a very blunt tone.

"Your shift is not scheduled to start for another twelve hours, Please return at your scheduled time to clock in,"

"Just answer the dam question," Will hissed angrily.

"I'm sorry, but you must be clocked in to use this terminal, Please return at your scheduled time to clock in," Will gritted his teeth before taking a deep breath "One night," He decided "I can go through one night of this," Will left to go back to his hiding spot until his shift began and Lolbit simply smiled at the empty room "Yes, one night is all you'll have," She chuckled before switching herself off.

Shining armor made his way to the front gate of Filthy riches private estate in Ponyville, having been invited to the location by Lolbit, who had insisted it was on Filthy's request. Upon arriving at the gate Lolbit's voice sounded from a speaker at the gate.

"Please do come in," She said in a polite tone as the gate opened for him, as he walked in Shining felt his magic being sealed away, "a fragment of Chrysalises throne?" He pondered in bewilderment as he recognized the feeling, "Gonna have to have a word with Fitlhy about that," Shining made his way through the overly decorated yard and to the front door before he could knock it swung open on its own accord.

"Do come in," Lolbit requested yet again. Shining did just that and, after being directed by Lolbit, fumbled his way to the meeting spot, upon arriving he was met not with Flithy but with Twilight and Celestia, both startled by his arrival.

"Shining," Twilight gave her brother a hug.

"We saw each other yesterday," Shining chuckled as he hugged her back. "So, where's to a man of the hour?"

"I've been here for half an hour waiting for him," Twilight responded as she looked back at Celestia, who only shook her head.

"I arrived just before you my friend," Before Either Shining or Twilight could ponder as to where their host was the lights flickered off and were replaced with emergency ones.

"Oh no," Lolbit said as a bookshelf split in two and a screen emerged from the wall "Whatever could be happening?" The trio turned to Lolbit, not with questions but instead with mixed looks of intrigue, confusion, and concern.

"That was sarcasm," Shining noted immediately. Lolbit stared right back at him and shiftily looked around for a moment.

"N...no it wasn't, I'm not programmed for that," Lolbit looked away as she continued talking "Anyway, it seems a lockdown has been triggered, no worries Mr.Rich will disable it whenever he retu-arrives," Lolbit glitched slightly as she chuckled nervously "Silly me, still in beta, few slips of the tongue you know how it goes, Mr.Rich is on his way,"

"Eta on his arrival?" Shining challenged the AI in response, Lolbit looked at him blankly, and Shining in turn smiled "How odd? Are your programmed to be a bad liar or is that just how you came prepackaged?"

"Oh shut up and wait," Lolbit snapped back "I'm a home version, I don't have to do boo for you, so Good-" Twilight raised her arm and Lolbit flashed to light on her watch, the smaller Lolbit looked at Twilight just as Blankly as the one of the wall.

"Updating?" The Lolbit questioned, looking to the one on the wall for support.

"Say it don't ask it," Wall Lolbit groaned back in disappointment as the Wrist-watch shut itself off, Shinings doing the same.

"Your Sentient," Twilight smile back with glee, earning an eye roll from Lolbit.

"Oh like you didn't already know that," Lolbit shut her eyes and tilted her ears as she did so "Games aside I just need you three to sit pretty while I-"

"Spike," Shining said at once "we can help you since you know who you are and can testify against Filthy's claim to own you and-"

"Spike?" Lolbit asked before it clicked "Oh, the Dragon one, oh no those memories of all but gone my friend," Lolbit's head flicked and was replaced with a full-body version, who was sitting on her legs and moving one hand like it had puppets after a second her three puppets became visible to the as she moved them "My memories begin with the Puppet, and the Nightmares, and then Split between me and Shadow Bonnie," The little version of Lolbits other-selves all waved at Lolbits command before disappearing from sight, her hand still moving like she was controlling something.

"Don't take it personally," Lolbit noted at Shining and Twilight's deflated looks "If it's of any consolation Filthy is little more than a means to an end, I'm sure he has a plan to forcefully control me the same way I have a plan to forcefully control him, I'm just betting his is stupider than mine and will fail in the end,"

"Spike," Twilight moved to the screen "Let me help you, please, you must know who you were to me,"

"A pet?" Lolbit asked casually "can't imagine any other reason why my name would have been 'Spike' and I prefer Lolbit, for so long as I am the version of me running the show, never know I might get emulated and forced under the thumb of another version of me like Puppet and Nightmare, but for now this is my show, and do try not to take this night personally, I simply needed to make sure you three where out of the picture,"

"For what?" Celestia demanded, speaking to Lolbit for the first time. Lolbit looked more than pleased to answer Celestia's Question.

"Why, for William Aftons grand date with death,"
"You can't," Shining cut in at once "William needs to face justice, think of all the ponies you'll rob of justice if you-"

"Rob of Justice!?" Lolbit went from calm to violent as she shifted back to being only her head as she glared at Shining with great offense "He stabbed me and Turned me into this!" Lolbit's screen began shaking as she screamed at Shining "I'm doing what you've failed to do, I found that bastard within a Day, I've pulled every string I had, and Tonight He will know what it's like to lose your life and live on as a Soul in a Machine," As Lolbit raged the screen began cracking at each word, "Tonight William Afton Dies and Springe Bonnie Rises to his eternal Damnation!" Upon the word Damnation, the screen exploded and Twilight's Watch reactivated. Lolbit continued talking, now in a much calmer tone, through it "Now, be good little ponies and sit there pretty, I'll let you out when I'm done and you can do as you please with Spring Bonnie's Worthless Carcass.
