Starlight the Nightguard: Five Night's at Freddy's 2

by Catpaw616

Night 1: An Unwelcome Surprise

Previous Chapter

Starlight arrived at the pizzeria on the time that she was supposed to arrive. She did not miss the days where she woke up late at night to go to a death trap. But instead, she has to wake up to experience potential horror, and death.

But at least she didn't have to worry about Twilight fussing over her like she's a foal anymore, since Twilight is on board with the plan too, but insists to work only one night. As much as Starlight wanted to work in shorter days, she rejected the idea. If she was going to learn the secrets of the place, and the company, she might need to stay for five nights. She had gotten some answers when she worked five nights at the other place, maybe the same will happen here.

Starlight still thinks that Twilight waiting for solid evidence to happen for a pizzeria to close down seems kind of dumb. Especially if the said pizzeria is Freddy's. She had seen herself that the animatronics are hell-bent on killing ponies, so it should be no surprise that the same will happen there.

However, she really wanted to know if William was telling the truth. But from the weird smile he kept giving her, its mostly unlikely. Why do I even bother.

She opened the doors of the place. She noticed that the pizzeria's keys were located on a table, with a note that only said:

See you at 6.

-William

Starlight immediately questioned the safety standards of the restaurant right away, and the night barely started. They are so trusting to put these random keys in an empty restaurant. Its so easy to steal them. She pondered. But then again, who would want to rob this place at night? If anything, it was the last place that any robber would wish to be.

After locking the restaurant door, she headed to the direction of her office, remembering the locations that William had shown her, and making a realization that the puppet was not the only new cast, but instead, an animatronic that seems to be the counterpart of Foxy the Pirate, but was all mangled.. broken... and rearranged weird. William stated that "the foals put it together". As he said that, Starlight's suspicions raised higher.

When she walked past the Main Stage, she tried her best to hold in her laughter as she saw the new Freddy, Bonnie, and Chica. Now with the word Toy at the beginning of their names. She didn't know if she preferred these models, or the old ones.

Foal friendly, I guess. Starlight concluded, but still looked very stupid.

Starlight wondered down the hall and gazed at the open office that was before her. She remembered her reaction when she saw that her office had no safety measures, such as doors. But William, who was with her, calmly said "Don't worry, doors are not necessary."

"You're on thin ice, you know." Starlight had warned him.

But he just shrugged. "I've been on thinner."

She awkwardly sat onto her office chair and once she was comfortable, she noticed that a Freddy head was located near her leg. Starlight levitated the mask with her magic. She assessed it, and has no clue as to why its here. But she was reminded once again of her encounter of the other Freddy Fazbear, since its head model is exactly the same shape.

Is this actually him? Starlight wondered, although she thinks that its a stupid question, but had another question that should be answered. Why did William not tell me about this? That stallion is as suspicious as the time when Twilight and her friends were kidnapped and replaced by changelings.

She booted up the camera monitor and skimmed through the security cameras. But for some reason she saw only darkness.

"I got broken cameras?" Starlight looked at the screen with a frustrated but scared look. "Is this pizzeria that cheap that they can't buy proper-"

Starlight was interrupted when she was startled by the phone ringing next to her. After having her guard up all this time, she still gets startled by phones...

The phone message opened.

"Uh, hello? Hello, hello?" a voice called out.

Starlight couldn't believe her ears. She recognized that voice...

"You died at the other pizzeria!" Starlight exclaimed to no one. "How is this possible...?"

Starlight looked at the phone with a dumbfounded look. The sound of his demise felt way too real to be fake, and how did he make it out alive? Did he somehow escape death when the clock hit six? Similar to how Starlight and Twilight barely escaped death at her last shift?

"Uh, hello and welcome to your new summer job at the new and improved Freddy Fazbear's Pizza. Uh, I'm here to talk you through some of the things you can expect to see during your first week here and to help you get started down this new and exciting career path."

I'm not so sure exciting is the word I would use.

"Now, I want you to forget all the rumors about the old location. That place had a bad reputation... and, as we speak, has been left to rot for a while."

Starlight now because confused. He had to be talking about Fredbear's Family Diner, since in Freddy Fazbear's Pizza, he died there, so its practically impossible that he's talking about that pizzeria. But even so that still doesn't make sense. And besides, how could she forget the location that killed a foal?

No, just shut up. Starlight commanded herself. Just focus on what he says, and don't get your mind in a twist. Or else I'll miss the helpful things he will potentially say.

They've spent a small fortune on these new animatronics, uh, facial recognition, advanced mobility, they even let them walk around during the day. Isn't that neat?

No, no its not.

...
After listening to phone guy for a least an hour, Starlight checked the cameras once more, and when she looked at the stage camera, she noticed that Toy Bonnie has moved.

"I knew it!" Starlight exclaimed. "I knew they would be after me at night!" William you stupid liar when you face me again with that creepy smile you better be ready for an earful.

Starlight, using a flashlight that William had showed her, she shined the hallway that was in front of her.

She found nothing.

She scanned the cameras, and saw that Toy Bonnie was in front of one of the cameras. It looked at it extremely closely. Similar to how Bonnie stared at her closely cameras when he was in the Backstage.

"HELLO!" Starlight said to the camera, similar to how she did before at the other place.

Static appeared and Toy Bonnie has left.

She looked at another camera and saw him with his guitar at hand.

Are you going to beat me up with that? Starlight started to feel her teeth shake. She put down the monitor and took deep breathes. Calm down, Starlight. You can do this. You survived Freddy's once, you can survive again.

She looked down at her monitor and saw an exclamation mark appear at the bottom left of the corner screen. Immediately remembering what the guy said about the puppet, she went to the Prize Corner camera and wound up the music box until the circle was full.

Starlight let out a sigh of relief, but then heard noises coming from the vents. She opened the monitor, and she jumped when she saw that Toy Chica is gone from the stage too.

Starlight used her flashlight and saw Toy Chica staring at her through the hallway. Its beak was completely missing, instead replaced with a few white, sharp teeth.

Starlight gulped. She had an idea. She quickly flashed the lights in front of the robotic chicken.

"Go away, you ugly thing..." Starlight kept spamming the lights.

Her heart almost stopped when she heard the vents clank at her right side. She saw Toy Bonnie stare at her through the vent window. Starlight gasped. With the doors being missing, she literally had no protection. She was done for.

But then she remembered the Freddy head that she saw earlier. She quickly grabbed it with her magic and put it on her head. When she did, the office lights suddenly flickered. Then right before her, Toy Bonnie gazed at her by going past her face with a dead-eyed expression. Starlight was shivering to the bone and felt silver bullets go down through her face.

Finally, Toy Bonnie disappeared, and when she checked the hallway again, so did Toy Chica.

Starlight almost felt like she did as going to pass out. "I have to do this... every night?"

After winding up the music box, she checked the hallways and the cameras. Toy Bonnie went back to the stage, but the others are still missing. Starlight checked the hallways and saw Toy Freddy gaze at her in the distance. Not to mention Toy Chica starting to crawl through the vents.

Starlight quickly put on her Freddy mask, breathing hard. The mask even smelled like death. Did they even wash this at all?

But Starlight didn't have to think about that now. As she saw Toy Chica in the vent, and Freddy getting closer, the clock chimed 6 AM.

"Thank Celestia." Starlight breathed as she took off the mask. She heard the two animatronics fall dead to the ground, hearing the mechanical clanks hit the ground, but she shrugged it off. The staff can deal with that, but she is leaving the moment she walks off to the door.


After waiting outside for a few hours, William finally arrived at the pizzeria. Starlight gave him a glare, but William made no reaction.

"You lied to me." Starlight said to the purple unicorn. "You said these things don't kill me at night. Guess what happened?"

But William looked calm as ever. "You're right. I did lie. But for a good reason too."

Starlight looked appalled. "What good reason?"

"Simple. It was the only way to hire a new night guard for this establishment. No one else wanted to do it, and I assumed that you would trust me..."

"I never did." Starlight spat coldly. Not wanting to stand on the property any longer, she walked off angrily.

"You are still coming back for a second night!" William called off after her. "And more afterwards!"

Starlight just groaned. She forgot that she had to work more nights at the cursed pizzeria. Of course, she would put a magic spell on those animatronics, but she would get fired the moment the staff members knew that they used magic on the animatronics. According to them, they don't like it when magic is used on the robots.

Petty. Starlight rolled her eyes. Wait until I get Twilight. Animatronics killing nightguards, not to mention getting scammed, should be a good reason as to why Twilight should shut this restaurant down after my shifts are over. She said, still remembering her promise that she made to herself. And a promise that she will most likely die for.
