It was the final night, and Celestia returned to her lair with the armor. She was able to steal it by sneaking through the shadows while everyone was occupied with their other activities. She started to put the armor on.

Once she was suited up, she walked towards her motionless sister. Celestia horn began to glow as she levitated something out of the blue alicorn animatronic. It was her sister's soul. She then placed it with her own. Then the transformation finally began.

Her body began to grow taller. The armor changed its design. Her wings became bigger, and the feathers formed into sharp points. Her mouth began to grow razor sharp teeth, and her living eye pupils formed into lightning bolts. Lastly, her mane and tail were set on fire which blazed red, orange, and yellow fire trails. Once the transformation was completed, she had more power than she could’ve ever imagined. Daybreaker was born.







Everyone had a great time at the party last night. Cadence returned to her box to rest up, while Shining talked with the rest of the girls.

"That was some great dancing Shining," said Applejack.

"I didn't know you were quite the dancer," replied Rarity.

"To be honest, I didn't think I had the guts to do it," Shining responded. "I had a little help from Cadence."

"Uh...excuse me?" Fluttershy interrupted. "I don't mean to interrupt. But has anyone seen Rainbow Dash?"

Spike walked towards the group. "I saw her walk into the parts and services room," he answered, while pointing to the far corner of the room.

"Thanks Spike," said Fluttershy as she started walking towards the room.







When she got in, she saw Rainbow Dash sitting against the wall feeling bored. "Uh...Rainbow Dash?" she called out in a quiet and timid voice.

Rainbow looked up to see Fluttershy standing in front of her. "Yeah, what's up?" she asked.

Fluttershy stepped closer. "I have something that belongs to you," she said as she pulled out what she was hiding behind her back.

"My old guitar!" Rainbow shouted with joy until she asked, "Where did you find it?"

Fluttershy sat next to her. "I found it at the prize bin last night,” she responded. “I thought I would need to hand it back to you."

She took out her tambourine while Rainbow was tuning her guitar. She played some notes as Fluttershy tapped on her tambourine following the beat. They both enjoyed their melody, but Fluttershy stopped tapping as she placed her tambourine down.

Rainbow stopped as well realizing that something was bothering Fluttershy. "What's wrong?" she asked, hoping she could know what the problem was.

A tear was already falling from Fluttershy's eye. "Rainbow, I...I...I've...s-s-still have my scars when I was Fluttershout!"

Now Rainbow started to feel concerned. "What are you talking about?"

Fluttershy already began to cry. "I was still in full possession when Celestia took control of me. I was a rampaging killing machine. I could've killed someone. I almost killed one of my friends. I never wanted this. I didn't...I...I..." She began to cry even more as she buried her head on Rainbow's chest.

Rainbow patted her head to keep Fluttershy calm. "It's okay," she spoke up. "There is no need to worry anymore. It's all in the past. I know how much this hurts you. Trust me. I've been there. I almost shot Applejack and Rarity when I was Rainbine. But I was loyal enough to help them and fight against Celestia. You were kind enough to save Spike from being trapped. That's how we changed to our normal selves. And after all that, they still forgave us because they are our true friends."

Fluttershy looked up at her. Her last teardrop fell and was replaced by a warm smile. "Thank you, Rainbow,” she said. “That means a lot." Fluttershy leaned her back against the wall.

Rainbow yawned. "Man," she said. "I am tired. I think I am gonna rest here for a while." She was about to rest when she felt a tap on her shoulder.

Fluttershy was trying to get her attention. "Uh, Rainbow?" she asked. "Do you mind if I could...um, rest here for a while?"

Rainbow had no idea how to respond to that question. All she could think of was, "Uh, sure." She laid her head against the wall to get back to sleep.

Fluttershy leaned her head against Rainbow's shoulder. The two pegasi girls fell asleep.

Pinkie and Cheese were just passing by the room when they spotted them resting. Pinkie silently closed the door trying to not wake them up. She put her finger towards her lips telling Cheese to be quiet. Cheese nodded his head in response. Pinkie whistled to herself as she quietly walked away. Cheese was imitating a Da Da Dum Dum Da Dum Dum expression while walking away as well.







Dr. Whooves was on night watch again while Derpy was having her muffin. "So far, so good," he said while he was looking through the rooms. He suddenly spotted some figure on the monitor. His blood ran cold as he recognize what and who it was. His instincts kicked in as he sounded the alarm. "Attention all animatronics!" he shouted from the speaker. "I found Celestia!" All the animatronics rushed towards the stadium as fast as they could.

Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash awoke from their sleep when they heard the alarm. They were blushing when they realized that they were hugging each other. They immediately pulled away. "Let's pretend that never happened," said Rainbow Dash. Fluttershy nodded in agreement as they both got up. They both rushed out of the room and joined the others.

"Where is she?" Shining spoke up.

"She's in the hallway to your left!" shouted Dr. Whooves. They all rushed towards the room where she was. They were tricked when they saw a pony plush toy on the floor. Spike shrieked when he saw the figure behind them. They all turned around to see Celestia standing at the opposite of the room.

She levitated a bunch of tables, chairs, arcades, and desks with her magic. She slammed them against their only exit. She used her lasers to seal the blockade. They were all trapped.







Cadence crawled out of her napping spot. She stretched out her wings and legs after a long rest. She looked around; wondering where did everybody go. She looked up at the monitor. "Dr?" she called out. "Where is everyone?" There was no response. "Hello? Is anyone there?"

She suddenly heard the sound of gunshots and a motor from a vehicle coming from the hallway. She saw Derpy driving a go-kart along with a dizzy doctor on the passenger seat. Derpy pushed down the brake with a loud shriek in front of Cadence.

"What is going on here?" Cadence asked; feeling more concerned of the crazy randomness that was going on.

Derpy was trying to catch her breath before she could respond. "We are trying to get away from...(*gasps*)...her," she responded while she was pointing to the figure standing in front of them.

A shiver ran down Cadence's spine as she recognize who it was. "Celestia?" she asked in asked in a scared tone. "Celestia, what happened to you?" she asked again in a more concerned tone this time.

The alicorn animatronic just laughed. ""Hello Cadence," replied the animatronic. "That name was so unsubtle for me now. I prefer one that suits for my complete transformation. Daybreaker! The better, prettier, and more POWERFUL version that you can ever imagine."

Cadence didn't agreed with the term pretty while looking at her state. "What have you done with my friends!?" she shouted while stomping a hoof to the ground.

"Oh, no need to worry." Daybreaker responded. "They are still alive. I just want you to witness their death as I burn them to ashes." She then begins to cackle evilly to herself as she watches Cadence's fear grow stronger.

Cadence was already having enough of this. "NO!" she shouted as her eyes began to glow black with white pupils like an actual animatronic. "I'm not going to let you hurt them. Not while I am still standing. And I won't stop until I can't fight anymore."

This got Daybreaker to laugh even harder. "You're quite the feisty one, aren't you? It won't matter. I will easily burn anyone that stands in my way!" With that, she exhaled out a huge fire breath that aimed right at Cadence.

When the smoke cleared, Cadence was still standing. She was able to block the attack with her force field she created with her magic. As soon as it dissipated, she spoke up in a low and tensed voice, "This time, I won't back down from a fight." Then she charged towards Daybreaker and slammed her against the wall.

Daybreaker shoved her aside and took to the air. She blasted out lasers that forced Cadence to use her force fields again. This gave her another opportunity to use her fire breath again. It slammed against the shield as it was about to crack. Cadence was growing weaker and hotter from the attack.

Daybreaker, however, was distributed from gun shots behind her. Dr. Whooves managed to wake up from his dizziness while he used his tommy gun to fire at her so Cadence can get the upper hoof to tackle her again. Daybreaker didn't think the shots did much damage. She then used her fire breath on him. Derpy was able to pull him away from the attack.

Cadence was able to get up and take to the air. Soon, she and Daybreaker were both fighting in the air shooting lasers.







Everyone was trying everything to bring down the blockade, but nothing seems to be working. "Wait a minute!" Shining shouted out. "Some of us have horns. We can teleport out of here and levitate the rubble in order for you guys to break it down easily." Shining Armor, Rarity, and Twilight teleported out of the trapped room and then levitated the heavy blockade. They were running out of time, so they told everyone to start running towards the blockade and use all the force to bring it down.

There luck was running out when they saw Cadence fighting Daybreaker on her own. Shining spotted a sword and a shield beside him. He levitated them with his magic and then charged towards the fight.

Daybreaker had Cadence right where she wanted her. She then used her lasers to fire at will. Shining managed to step in front of Daybreaker and blocked the attack with his shield. He then used his sword to aim at her wings. The sword was able to damage the wings for Daybreaker to crash towards the ground, but now she was using them as shields to block from any attacks. Just as soon as she was pinned, the blockade broke apart and the rest of the animatronics joined in the fight.

The girls were able to use their geo powers for good use. Pinkie was able to craft a sprinkle blaster to fight of Daybreaker. It's Pinkie Pie. Don't question it. Fluttershy was able to bring reinforcements by summoning an army of wild animals. Rarity equipped them with diamond armor. Applejack used her super strength to fling out wreckages at Daybreaker. Rainbow Dash used her super speed to clear out the fire. Twilight was levitating and crafting a defensive wall to avoid the flame attacks.

Cheese and Spike didn't know what to do in the fight, until an idea caught in Cheese's mind. "Hey, ain't you a fire breathing dragon?" he asked Spike.

Spike brought back a smirk; realizing the idea that Cheese Sandwich had in mind.

Cheese started to use Spike as a flamethrower while shouting, "Fight Fire with FIRE!" They were both laughing for the expanse.

This was quite the fight that Daybreaker was having, but it was about to end as she was about to unleash her special attack. Her chest glowed into a bright red aura and a huge blinding explosion was spreading everywhere with flames sprouting out.

Everyone retreated towards the defensive wall that Twilight constructed earlier. They were all struggling to think of a plan to end all of this.

This gave Twilight the opportunity to spill out what she had to say. "I know how we can save Celestia!" she shouted out. All eyes were on her now. "There's a mind control chip on the back of her head. If I can get close enough, I will be able to end this fight!"

Rainbow was the first to speak when she asked, "How do you know about all this?"

Twilight was thinking of a good excuse for this situation until she came up with one. "I managed to spy on her when I was Brutalight." They all managed to agree with that explanation as Twilight prepared herself for the worst.

"Go!" shouted Pinkie. "You've got this, Twilight!"

Twilight looked towards Daybreaker, then back towards her friends. "No," she said. "We've got this. Together."

Applejack and Shining Armor worked together by pushing the protective wall further. Rainbow Dash was able to dash towards the water balloon room and gathered enough water supply for Dr. Whooves and Derpy to put out the fire on the wall. Pinkie and Cheese were being distractions for Daybreaker so she could focus her attacks on them. This gave Fluttershy and Spike the opportunity to rally up the animals towards the defensive wall. Rarity and Cadence had placed diamonds and shields around Twilight for her to get close enough to remove the disc.

Twilight was already making her move by charging towards Daybreaker. Once she was close enough, she focused all of her powers on the disc. Suddenly, the disc popped out of the skin, the back of the mask, and through the helmet. Twilight was able to catch it without anyone seeing it. She was able to use her gravitational power to crush the disc into little pieces.

Daybreaker collapsed to the ground. The fire slowly died as she got up slowly. But when she opened her eyes, they were normal magenta eyes. Celestia was back. "Wh-what happened?" she asked; looking round to see everyone surrounding her. She looked at her own hooves and a reflection of her hideous self. "What has happened to me?" she questioned to herself. "What have I done?" She looked at the animatronics. "I am so sorry," she responded; tears coming out of her eyes. "I don't know what came over me."

The moment was interrupted when a wreckage was happening on the rooftops again. And it was falling over Pinkie Pie. "Pinkie! Look out!" shouted Cheese Sandwich as he pushed her aside from the collision. Pinkie got up from being shoved but then gasped in horror by that wreckage, which landed on Cheese instead.

Suddenly, Cheese was at his mangled state again when he crawled out, but he wasn't functioning well. He collapsed in front of Pinkie and she knelt close to him. Cheese was sparking out glitches when he spoke up, "Told ya I be there for you." His head finally collapsed to the ground as his eye blinkers blacked out. He was motionless.

Pinkie was crying out tears as she shouted, "NNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO -oh wait, he's a robot. I can just rebuild him," she suddenly said from all that drama for nothing.

"I think it may be too late for that Pinkie. Look!" Twilight shouted out as she pointed to the clock which was already stroking 6:00 A.M. She then collapsed to the floor. Soon the rest of the animatronics collapsed with her. They all powered down.

Dr. Whooves and Derpy looked over all the lifeless animatronics. "What do we do now Doc?" Derpy asked in a nervous tone.

Dr. Whooves took in a deep breath as he responded, "Only one thing we can do. It's time to call them for help."

Derpy was confused of what he just said. "Call who for help?"

Dr. Whooves just sighed. "We have a lot to talk about."







A new attraction was set up in another location called Equestrian Land. A new attraction was set up in this amusement park called Twilight's Funtime Castle. Inside the castle were several hallways and stairs that lead to a lot of rooms filled with activities. For example: Arcades, ball pit, go-karts, 4D theater, laser tag, and a huge ride that used at least half of the castle, and last but not least, the stadium. It had a lot of crystals hanging from the roots of a tree on the ceiling. A huge table was at the center that showed the map of the entire theme park. There were chairs surrounding it for display. The animatronics were in the room as well and they were all ponies. Spike was still a dragon. This time, he was upgraded with a pair of wings.

Twilight, Rainbow Dash, and Fluttershy were on the North side of the room. Shining Armor, Applejack, and Rarity were on the South side of the room. Cadence and Spike were on the East side of the room. Pinkie Pie and Cheese Sandwich were on a tiny stage with curtains that were on the West side of the room.

There was another room with a door that said employees only. It was the parts and services room. Inside of the room was another animatronic and it was a big one. It was Celestia. And she looked a lot like her human self with the multicolored mane and tail. Not to mention it was programmed to be flowing. She was dressed up in a regalia that made her look like a princess. She was sitting against the wall with her head facing down. It was quiet though with no one else in the building. But then the silence with cut off when her eyes opened up to show a black surface with a white pupil that glowed. She has reawakened.
