Starlight the Nightguard: Five Night's at Freddy's

12 AM

The night began.

Instantly regretting her life choices, Starlight stared at the monitor and spotted the animatronics. You guys look ugly. I do not get why kids like you.

Just then a loud ringtone rang in the office, which startled Starlight so much that she almost fell out of her seat. Starlight couldn’t believe it. I am usually not this jumpy. she thought bitterly, then calmed down. It’s fine. I can do this.

Being more prepared and on guard, she picked up the phone.

”Hello? Hello, hello? Erm, I wanted to record a message for you on your first night.” a male voice was heard on the phone.

“Ok.” Starlight said as she looked at the cameras with a bored look.

"Now I will have to warn you before I continue, the animatronics do get quirky at night... like tend to wonder around the resturant..."

Starlight’s heart almost stopped.

“What do you mean ‘quirky at night?!’” she screamed at the phone, even though it's a voice message and it would not directly respond to her question.

”And your first week can be a bit overboard, but you will get used to it as you continue to work this job for the rest of the week."

Nope. It was bad enough that she had to watch over creepy animatronics, but now she has to deal with animatronics that move around.

With that knowledge in her head, she quickly put on her monitor and stared at them through the cameras. But then she noticed a percentage at the bottom left of her screen.

"What is this?" she asked aloud.

Starlight realized that the message was still on. She figured that it’s wise to listen to him since he might say useful information that could help her.

”You know, the animatronics used to wonder around in the day, you know. But then there was the Bite of ‘87... yeah its amazing how a pony can live without the frontal lobe.”

The Bite of ‘87... could that be the bite that Twilight was talking about? A kid that got shoved in an animatronic’s mouth? Starlight thought deeply. But according to Spike, the victim died, but according to this guy, the victim lived. Unless the victim did die, and he was just saying that to make me feel better. Well it didn’t work. It made Starlight more scared than ever about what an animatronic can do to a pony...

"They seem to have certain malfunctions when it comes to certain things. But then again, they haven't been cleaned in 20 years so honestly malfunctions like that are no surprise to me."

Malfunction? It didn't sound like a malfunction. More like a horrible accident. Starlight thought. The story was starting to confuse her now but honestly, she didn't mind. She doesn't want to hear any more about what happened in past.

After a few moments of listening to the phone guy, she checked the monitor again. But when she checked the Main Stage camera, Bonnie disappeared.

"WHAT?" Starlight screamed. "THEY ACTUALLY MOVE? I THOUGHT THEY WERE KIDDING!"

She quickly checked all the cameras until she spotted Bonnie near the tables with birthday hats.

"HI." Starlight said in a high-pitched voice when she saw Bonnie's silhouette at the camera that faced the tables and the party hats.

"Alright, have a good night, and I'll talk to you tomorrow." The message stopped.

"Oh, good you finally shut up. Now I can panic in peace without having to hear you." Starlight said as she checked the cameras again. Bonnie was still there, and the others haven't moved yet.

Starlight realized that she was panting so hard that she is almost going to pass out.

"Calm down, Starlight." she said to herself. "Deep breathes, deep breathes..."

She checked the cameras and noticed that Bonnie was gone, and the chicken was missing from the stage, with Freddy the only one remaining.

"NO." Starlight desperately clicked the cameras around to find them. But found Chica in the Restrooms camera, while she found Bonnie in the Backstage camera and was startled by Bonnie's face being extremely close to the camera. His eyes were all black with only his tiny white pupils remaining.

Starlight wished that she brought a paper bag with her if this was going to cause her this much stress. But normally she never has too. She was known to be calm and cool when it comes to situations like this, but this is a whole other level. Chrysalis was one threat but being hunted down by robotic animatronics is a new kind of threat.

She checked the cameras again and saw Chica and Bonnie remain in the same position, but when she checked Pirates Cove, she saw the torso and the head of Foxy the Pirate peeking out of the purple curtains.

"HELLO." Starlight raised her voice again and blocked her mouth. Why does she talk like that now? She had to control herself if she is going to make it through the night.

Speaking of which, she checked her clock and it said 2:00 AM. Normally Starlight would be really tired by then, but with threatening animatronics literally right near her, she was up and ready.

However, her battery was at 50%

I guess this is wasting power Starlight looked at her monitor. I guess I better be careful with it.

She resumed back to her duties, and Starlight's eyes widened with alarm when she saw Bonnie and Chica at both of the hallways, getting extremely close to her office.

"Yay! The creepos are coming to my office now!" Starlight said to nothing.

Starlight immediately checked the lights, only to find nothing.

Starlight looked at the monitor again. Foxy was out of Pirate's Cove, but its head was crooked heavily at the right.

“Stop moving for the love of Celestia.” Starlight groaned. “I’m dealing with your friends here.”

Just then she heard a groan from her left side and saw Bonnie standing at the doorway. Its eyes were dark as night and let out some static noises.

Starlight immediately closed the left door, letting out a sigh of relief.

But then she turned on the light on her right side to see Chica staring at her through the window, her expression the same as Bonnie’s, but blood was trickling from her mouth.

Starlight literally leapt to the other side of the room and pushed the button to close the door.

“No way I am doing this for another six days.” Starlight groaned. She was literally out of breath.

After a few seconds, she heard banging on her left door, causing her power to decrease. Starlight turned to see that she had 25% of power left, and the doors kept draining it by the second.

Although she didn’t want too, she opened the doors when she saw that the animatronics had left and went farther away from the office.

But that won’t last long.

She checked on Pirate’s Cove and saw that Foxy had returned to his corner.

She checked the time. It was 5 AM

Just one more hour left...

She checked the cameras and saw Bonnie and Chica getting closer, Freddy remained still the whole time, and Foxy remained where he was. But when Starlight looked at one of the East Hall’s cameras, she almost jumped in fright when she saw the posters of Freddy, Bonnie, and Chica being replaced with black posters featuring three kids crying their eyes out.

What does this mean? Starlight said in deep thought, although she felt her body shake with tension. Could this be the drawing of the kid that died in Fredbear’s Family Diner?

Or is there more to it?

Even when she was wrestling with the animatronics, she had a lot of questions about the pizzeria. Why are the animatronics out for Starlight?

The dude on the phone probably had an answer for me, but I was so scared that I ignored it.

Starlight sighed. She hated being here, like, a lot. But something told her that she needed to learn more about Freddy’s, and Fredbear. Secrets that were hidden from the world. and whether the Fazbear franchise is safe or not. Most likely not safe.

And whatever secrets that are in this building, she will be the one to bring them to light. Even if it means being here for more nights.

I hate myself for doing this.

6 AM finally arrived and Starlight was greeted by the same stallion when he returned to the pizzeria. She told him about the robots that tried to kill her, but the stallion denied Starlight’s claim, but Starlight knew that he wasn’t listening to himself. And the stallion, for whatever reason, rejoiced when Starlight said that she will come back tomorrow for her other shift, despite Starlight’s conscience telling her it was a bad idea.

She returned to Twilight’s castle for a long nap. She was so tired that she ignored Twilight’s greetings and headed to her room.

When she laid down on her comfy bed, she now had questions whether it was worth her life learning the secrets of Freddy Fazbear.

I’m not doing this for me, I’m doing it so people will be wary of this franchise and know what a dangerous resturant it is. Starlight thought. No one would believe her if she told ponies that the robots from Freddy’s attacked her at night. Plus, she would most likely be fired if she spreaded “false information” about the restaurant.

She closed her eyes and drifted off to sleep, trying her best to hide the fact that she had to deal with it all again tonight.
