//------------------------------// // Tragedy // Story: Five Nights at Pinkie's // by Hazel_Hester777 //------------------------------// Hester was given a USB that contained a copy of the memories the Mane six had from that night that everything happened. It was near nightfall, so she decided to see the content. Hopefully, she can get a few clues about it. Clicking on the file that read, “That Night” she watched the main events. It was supposed to be a good day. They just came down there to have a little fun. They were enjoying the fact that the mascots really looked like them. The original versions just kept laughing about and playing with their robotic counterparts. Pinkie Pie kept on laughing and playing with her robo counterpart. Rainbow and Applejack were listening to Foxow Dash talk about pirates. Rarity was a little bit of a distance off, wondering where they kept her counterpart. Twilight and Fluttershy were enjoying the music and food made by Bonlight and Chicashy. Suddenly, Applejack’s counterpart, Goldenjack made her appearance. She looked like her original, but her color was all yellow. The only part that wasn’t was her cutie mark, which was a perfect replica of AJ’s own. She was calling forth everypony because she was about to cut the cake in the Storage Room. “Yay! Cake!” Pinkie cried out as she went and followed the animatronic. “Race you there, AJ!” Rainbow challenged as she ran from the orange mare. The earth pony adjusted her hat before running off to catch up with her competitor. “Come on, Fluttershy! Let’s go!” Twilight tried to get the yellow mare to tag along, but she was scared for some strange reason. “I don’t know, Twilight. Something’s not right” “What could be? It’s just a party. Loosen up!” “But…” she cut off by a kiss on the lips. She couldn’t fight it off as Twilight began to ravenously attack her with her tongue. She was so cut of guard that the lavender mare found it as an opportunity to use affection. When Twilight pulled away, she was blushing madly and dazed. “Come on, Shy” This time, the yellow Pegasus didn’t fight back as she was dragged by the Alicorn. Twilight giggled at her behavior. Everypony had gathered in the Storage Room. The only one missing was Rarity. But as everypony got excited for the hand-out, that was when the party was over. The doors closed in one all of them, causing fear and panic to come upon them. They looked back at Goldenjack, who took off her costume to reveal who was inside. A purple pony in security guard attire revealed himself. His eyes had no pupil; their design was like that of Creepigie. The cutie mark was unknown due to it being covered by the uniform. He withdrew a knife and drove it right through their hearts. The five screamed for their lives, hoping somepony was outside and would hear them. But help never came. They screamed until it got caught in their throats. The last thing they saw was the demented stare of their killer. A few minutes had gone by before somepony opened her eyes to see what had happened. All she remembered was looking for her counterpart and the next thing she knew, all she saw was darkness, and cold metal going through her body. She looked down at her hooves to see that they were no longer flesh and bone, but thread and metal. It was Rarity. She realized that she had become her animatronic counterpart, literally. Looking into a nearby mirror, she saw her appearance now. Her body was black with white buttons going down until her waistline. Her arms were thin and were covered in black and white stripes. Her eyes were gone, just empty holes remained where they were. A faint blush adorned her cheeks. She looked around in her new body and found the rest of her friends…or rather, what’s left of them. They were all dead. All of them were pale and cold to the touch. She couldn’t believe this. Who would do this to them? She couldn’t bear to see this. These were her friends. She had to find a way to get them back. She had to find a way to help get revenge for this. She looked around for anything that could help and she found masks of the four main mascots of the pizzeria. If it worked on her, maybe it can do the same for them. Taking a mask, she began to put them each on her friends. She gave the mask of each of their counterparts. The next thing she knew, the masks took hold of their bodies, literally turning them into their counterparts. Pinkie, Fluttershy, Twilight, and Rainbow were shocked at what had happened to them. They couldn’t believe it. They were dead, and now trapped inside a body not their own. Looking around, they found somepony else had not gotten a body to occupy yet. “Applejack!” Rainbow cried as she held the dead body of the orange mare. It hung limp in her robotic hooves. “No! AJ, stay with me! Applejack!” she sobbed openly on her marefriend’s dead body. Rarity put a hoof on her friend as she looked at the body with everypony else. “I’m sorry, Rainbow. She’s dead” Rainbow couldn’t help but sob over the loss of her marefriend. Where were they to find a new body for her now? They already took up the others. Rarity called Pinkie forth to help her carry the body to find a way for her to live on as well. Fluttershy and Twilight stayed with Rainbow to comfort her. About an hour had gone by. There was still no sign of the three. The others were getting worried and anxious about their return. Rainbow’s eyes were bloodshot from crying so hard. And just before she was about to burst in tears again, the door opened. “Applejack?” Her marefriend was now inside her counterpart’s body. The eyes were empty. Still, the emotion is them was sadness and sorrow. “Dashie” Rainbow couldn’t take it anymore as she hugged her marefriend tightly. Applejack just returned it. Any times before, they could feel the warmth from each other’s embrace. Now, all they felt was cloth on metal. Twilight and Fluttershy tried the same, but it was the same thing as well. They couldn’t feel warmth from one another anymore. Pinkie sighed as Rarity felt the depression come in again. They were all dead, killed in cold blood by somepony they have yet to know. They called for help, but no one came. Their sorrow began to turn into anger as they felt the need for revenge. No waiting for somepony to help them. They were on their own. Allowing the anger to seep through them, they took up their new names and started on a new mission. That mission was to find the killer, and kill them Hester felt sorry when she saw it all. This was more graphic and detailed than just hearing the story. Now that she thought about it, the purple killer did seem a little familiar. Looking at the clock, she realized it was time to go. She waved Hazel goodbye and left to the job.
