"By the way what is it you wanted to talk to me about?'" asked Mech. "It's about the animatronics," answered Nitro. "Did miss Cadenza tamper with them?" asked Mech. "No all the other animatronics were fine its the faulty animatronic I wanted to talk about," answered Nitro. "The black bear?" asked Mech. "Nightmare," Nitro corrected. "Right, right Nightmare," said Mech waving his hoof. "So what exactly is wrong with Nightmare other than the fact that it's faulty?" asks Mech. "I went to check the attractions this morning and found Nightmare on the stage with Fredbear and Spring Bonnie," answered Mech. Mech froze. "Didn't you say that you didn't program for him to move?" asked Mech. "Yes let alone I made sure that he wouldn't even activate," answered Nitro. 'I'm assuming it's the new guard, she might have intentionally moved it," said Nitro. [ b]Crystal Empire 11:00 PM "Hey Spike where's my badge?" Cadence called out. The Princess of love had managed to survive the first night and was now preparing for her second. "Here I found it on the kitchen table," said Spike handing Cadence her badge. "Oh silly me," said Cadence clipping her badge on her uniform. "Thanks Spike," she said smiling. "Anytime glad to help," replied Spike. "By the way isn't it too early to leave your shift starts at midnight right?" asks Spike. "Yeah but my manager wanted to talk to me about some things so he told me to get their early," replied Cadence putting on her hat. "Oh well good luck tonight," said Spike. "Thanks," said Cadence. She waved Twilight and Spike before making her way to the park. Freddy's Funland Amusement Park 11:30 Nitro checked his watch as he waited for Cadence to arrive. He looked up when hearing the sound of hoofsteps approaching him. "Thanks for coming out here this early Miss Cadenza," "No problem I wasn't planning to do anything anyway so..." "Well your on your second night so congrats," said Nitro clapping his hooves. "Thanks," replied Cadence checking her bag for her belongings. "By the way didn't you want to talk to me about something?" asked Cadence "Yeah um you didn't go to the storage by any chance did you?" asked Nitro "No I was in Fredbear's attraction the whole time," replied Cadence "Why?" she asked. "It's just that there was an animatronic that wasn't supposed to be there standing on the stage with Fredbear and Spring Bonnie during my shifts this morning," said Nitro. Cadence froze. She looked over and asked, "What did it look like," "Well it was black and withered with a yellow bow tie and top hat," answered Nitro. Her heart sank when she heard Nitro describing the animatronic. "Um Miss Cadenza are you ok?" asked Nitro "You just suddenly turned pale all of a sudden," "Uh yeah I'm fine," said Cadence sweating. "You met him didn't you?" asked Nitro Cadence couldn't hide it. She looked over and slowly nodded. Nitro wiped his forehead with a handkerchief and said, "Listen I need to tell you something," He seemed to hesitate before continuing. "That animatronic wasn't supposed to be up ad moving," Cadence felt her heart stop and looked over. "He was supposed be locked away in the storage where nopony could get their hooves on him," said Nitro. Trembling Cadence asked, "Wh, who is he?" Nitro seemed to hesitate before answering, "He was...." However Nitro's statement was cut short as if he stopped himself. "No I can't say!" said Nitro suddenly upset. "Miss Cadenza are you sure you didn't just intentionally move him just to mess with me and Mr. Gears?" asked Nitro Cadence shook her head in denial. "Listen Miss Cadenza I suggest you to just go home and let me deal with your shift tonight," said Nitro. "What why?" ask Cadence. "I can't say," said Nitro. "Please don't make me," Cadence suddenly worried said, "If you have an answer tell me," Suddenly Nitro jumped up and cried, "NO YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND MISS CADENZA!!!" "That animatronic, he isn't what you think he is," said Nitro trembling. "If you go in there he, Nightmare will kill you!" cried nitro now upset. "Please Miss Cadenza I'm begging you don't go into the park tonight," Nitro pleaded. "If Nightmare kills you then I...." his statement was once again stopped short. Cadence now angry screamed, "LISTEN IF YOU DON'T HAVE A REASON THEN THERE'S NOTHING YOU CAN DO TO STOP ME!!!" She opened the gate and let herself. "No Miss Cadenza," Nitro started to his feet. He grabbed the bars before calling out, "PLEASE DON'T DO THIS!!!" She turned around with tears rolling down her cheeks and whispered, "I'm sorry," As Nitro tried to call out to her, the sound of bells began to ring indicating the start of the night. Forcing a smile Cadence turned her back on Nitro and walked into the park while Nitro called out to her. Night 2: 12:00 AM "Well here I go," said Cadence gulping. Now from what Nitro said, the animatronic's name should be Nightmare. But why was Nitro so cautious when the topic of Nightmare was brought up? That was a question she would be asking during her shift. The weird thing was Nitro brought up the talk himself. Something was not right, he was hiding something and she was determined to find out what it was. Cadence fiddled with her keys and found the one that led to Nightmare Nations. She unlocked the gate and walked down the path. When she arrived she found another building and groaned. "Is this entire park indoors?" she mumbled. Cadence rolled her eyes and unlocked the door. When inside she noticed that the design of the building was somewhat similar to the plaza. The entire building was curved to make it look like a circle. Shining her light to her left she found that the attraction was filled with rides and games around the entire building. Starting to her left was a game called Fun with Nightmare Balloon Boy. This was a game consisting of a long hallway leading a chair where an animatronic settled. There were two pairs of doorways, two in the front and back, with a giant X on where Cadence was. The goal of the game was to stop Nightmare Balloon Boy on the X. "Huh interesting game," Cadence said shrugging. Next to that was a food court called Nightmare Mangle's Menacing Meals which was like an ordinary food court. The next segment was completely taken by Nightmare Fredbear's Fear Rides which consisted of an indoor roller coaster and so on. Since the next attraction was being blocked by a giant counter in the very center of the plaza, Cadence had to go around to the back to see what other games and rides were built. Next to Nightmare Fredbear's attraction was Nightmare Chica and Jack-O-Chica's Cupcake/Pumpkin toss which just looked like a bean bag toss game like at the carnivals. Next to that was Nightmare Freddy's Frighting Freddles which was one of those classic whack-a-mole game but instead of moles it was little creepy Freddy dolls called Freddles. Next to that was Nightmare Bonnie and Jack-O-Bonnie's Bone Chilling Bass Challenge which was an arcade machine with a blue and orange guitar labeled Player 1 and Player 2. The goal was simple Players simply had to choose random music and whoever can hit the most right notes was the winner. "I guess this one is for music lovers," said Cadence. "I bet Octavia and Vinyl would love this game," chuckled Cadence. Suddenly Cadence felt as if somepony or something was watching her. Assuming that it was Nightmare she decided to ignore the feeling and move on. Next to Bonnie's game was Nightmare Foxy's Fear Rides which obviously consisted of rides but instead of rides like roller coasters and all the extreme action rides, this one mostly consisted of a bouncing haunted house and bumper cars and more mild rides. Chuckling Cadence mumbled, "I bet Flurry would love Bumper cars," The final game in the attraction was Fun with Plushtrap which was similar to Fun with Nightmare Balloon Boy but instead the animatronic was a plush version of Springtrap. Cadence shrugged and mumbled, "The only difference is the animatronics," She looked around and decided that everything looked ok when she realized that the counter in the center was also part of the attraction. In the center was Nightmarionne's Prize Corner which was a normal prize counter but with a giant gift box next to it. Assuming that the animatronic was in the box she decided to head back. But before that she checked her watch. 4:00 AM. she still had time. Looking around the attraction, she just realized how creepy it looked in the dark. "Relax all the animatronics are deactivated there is no way they could come to life," she said. "Don't count on it," said a voice. Flinching she turned around to see if Nightmare was behind her, surprisingly he wasn't and neither was Nightmare Balloon Boy or Plushtrap. "Wait what?" Cadence shined her light to find both Nightmare Balloon Boy and Plushtrap missing from their games. "Oh my Celestia since when were they gone?" she asked. Suddenly the sound of what seemed to be breathing was heard from behind her she turned around to see two figures retreat behind the prize corner to her left and two figures to her right. "What the buck?" cursed Cadence. That's when see saw it or rather heard it, the sound of a child's music box. Cadence shined her light on the gift box to find that it was opened. "Wait since when!?" she yelped. That's when she heard it, the sound of demonic laughter filled the building. "What?" Cadence whimpered. It was at this point when her flash light started to flicker. "What the buck?" she cursed smacking the light. "Screech.." the sound of mechanical whirring was coming from behind Cadence. She slowly turned around pointed her flashlight behind her and turned it on. That was a mistake. "Gotcha!!" roared Nightmare Freddy. Cadence yelped and fell back as Nightmare Freddy closed in on her. She looked to her left to find Nightmare Bonnie and Jack-O-Bonnie staring intently at her. Same with Nightmare Chica and Jack-O-Chica to her right. Meanwhile Nightmare Foxy on the ground behind her and Nightmare Mangle hanging on the ceiling of the prize corner. Nightmarionne was beside Nightmare Chica with Plushtrap on it's shoulders and Nightmare Balloon Boy and it's feet and Nightmare Fredbear next to Jack-O-Bonnie. "Oh crap," said Cadence. "Outta the way," growled a voice. As Nightmare Freddy moved away it revealed a familiar black animatronic. "Nightmare," said Cadence. Nightmare glared at Cadence with it's blood red eyes. As Cadence tried to stand, Nightmare grabbed her by the mane and picked her up. Cadence winced in pain and said, "Nightmare what do you want with me?" Nightmare growled and said, "That's something you should already know," Cadence took a quick glance at her watch, 5:40 AM. "Let me go," Nightmare laughed and said, "Unlikely you may have escaped me yesterday but today you won't be so lucky," Cadence quickly flashed her light in Nightmare's eyes making him drop her. Now was her chance she quickly ran between Nightmare's legs and bolted towards the exit. "STOP HER!!!" Nightmare roared. The animatronics obeyed and begin chasing Cadence towards the front gate. Freddy's Funland Amusement Park: Front Gate Nitro was trying hard to get the locks off the gate. He would've unlocked the gate if Cadence hadn't taken his keys with her. "BUCK!!!!" he cursed. He leaned his head against the gates in frustration when he heard the sound of galloping hoofsteps. He looked up to find Cadence rushing towards him."Oh thank Celestia your alive," he said. "Yeah but not for long," said Cadence fiddling with keys. "Give me my keys and I'll let you out," said Nitro. Cadence didn't have time to argue and gave Nitro his keys back. "Come on," said Cadence panicked. "Um Miss Cadenza," said Nitro. "What?" asked Cadence. She saw that Nitro was staring behind her. She didn't have to guess. She slowly turned around to find Nightmare standing behind her. See attempted to scream but before she knew she found Nightmare's hand around her neck and her hooves off the ground. "I finally caught you," growled Nightmare. "Cadence wrapped her hooves around Nightmare's wrist, "Buck you Nightmare," Cadence choked. "So that's how it's gonna go," growled Nightmare. "Miss Cadenza hang on I'll help you," said Nitro. He was furiously trying to find the keys so he could help Cadence. He checked the time 5:59 AM. "Oh please hurry," said Nitro. Cadence struggled against Nightmare but his grip was to strong. He looked Cadence in the eye and said, "Die," It was at this moment when the bell rang indicating that it was 6:00 AM. Nightmare growled and let Cadence go. Nitro quickly unlocked the gate and rushed to her side. Meanwhile Nightmare spoke up, "Don't you go thinking your lucky for surviving two nights in a row," With that he walked away from the two and disappeared into the park. "Miss Cadenza are you ok?" asked Nitro. Cadence coughed before answering, "Yeah I'm fine," "Oh thank Celestia," said Nitro crying. It was a moment before he spoke up, "I'll take you home," Night 2 Complete
