//------------------------------// // 2. Identity Crisis // Story: Animatronic Killers To Ponies? // by tam285 //------------------------------// When Foxy woke up, he was still on the grass, but now it was night. Freddy rushed over and helped his friend up, who hit him in the arm. Years of abandonment in Pirates Cove turned the pirate stone cold and despite their situation, that wouldn’t change. Freddy rushed over to help Bonnie and Chica. “Alright nobody’s around. We need to hide, guys.” Freddy said, looking at his friends, Foxy was still withered in this world, holes in his chest and legs. “Anywhere you see that we can hide until we can.. walk along the streets without bringing too much unwanted attention. Right now we need to figure something out.” “Well, Freddy. There’s an alleyway right there if you think we can walk there.” Bonnie said, pointing to an alley nearby. Freddy nodded and signalled everyone to follow. Foxy trailed behind, looking at the moon and giving a sigh. “Whats wrong Foxy?” A voice came from behind him. When Foxy turned around, a golden figure was there. Golden Freddy. Foxy just lowered his head. Keeping an eye on his friends, he began to let his fears out, silently. “Well, y’see... I don’t think we’ll be able to get out these here suits. People have stopped looking for us, and we were kinda left to rot in that old place. Then there was that stage where we were left to rot in a backroom for a few years. Nobody found us “worth it” and we were planned to be burned. I was so excited to hear that we were gonna get burned, but then the toys let another murder happened and they got scrapped instead. I felt like.. this nightmare was never going t’ end for us. I don’t think it will end.” Foxy said, slowly. “Hm, I think we’ll get out soon, It’s just goin-” Golden Freddy was cut off by Bonnie yelling for their attention. He signalled them to a poster, ripping it off the wall and reading it. “Princess Twilight’s Meet N’ Greet” Below the words, it had an image of the pony that had attack Freddy and Bonnie earlier. There was names under it but Bonnie got side-tracked by a pony with a flashlight on a hat. They were walking towards them, the flashlight almost reaching them when they got pushed into the alleyway by Golden Freddy, who gave a wink, before sitting down, limp and lifeless. The stallion got closer, before Golden Freddy began to laugh. The stallion kept walking towards the thing before Golden Freddy’s eyes went from pure black to white dots in the middle of the lifeless eyes. He let out a scream before wrapping his hooves around the stallion, strangling him. He did that for 4 minutes while the stallion tried to breathe and try to get the golden creature off him, to no avail. The man was dead, from choking to death. Golden Freddy dragged the stallion’s body to the alleyway, feeling proud. Freddy just sighed and facehoofed. Bonnie and Chica just stared blankly at him. Foxy smiled like a madman before nodding. “Goldy, don’t kill just because we killed before. It’s a new world, nobody probably knows us and we want to come off as non hostile.” Freddy looked at Foxy and just put emphasis on non hostile. “We need to stay quiet and just.. wait for stuff to calm down. We need to figure out who we are, where we are and how to get home.” Freddy stated. Golden Freddy looked down at his hooves, trying to get his magic to work. Usually snapping his fingers could make him teleport. But that wouldn’t work. Not in this body. Magic would come out of his hooves, small bursts of it. Nothing happened. “My powers are not working. We need to rest to regain out strength.” “Wait... when we were in the pizzeria, It was night, around 12am.. but then when we found the portal it looked around 2pm.” Chica said, concern lingering in her voice. We don’t have the power to be turned on and in free roam mode since 1983. Maybe our programming is different or something.” Freddy looked down at his once paws, now hooves and looked at the moon, his mane brushing in the cold night’s air. Freddy turned his attention to the poster Bonnie had picked up when they first entered. He picked it up and observed it. “So, by the looks of it, out counterparts are heroes. And Bonnie’s counterpart is an alicorn which is a Pegasus and Unicorn in one. And Fo-” Bonnie cut Freddy of mid sentence. “WAIT SO, I’M A GODDESS IN THIS WORLD!??” Bonnie yelled, Imminently going to boast, striking a heroic pose before ultimately falling to the floor. This earned a chuckle from Foxy, his voice glitching out in the process. “Guys, lets just lay low for as long as we can. If they say anything about that man, point to Foxy, his hook is still bloody anyways.” Chica said, looking at Foxy. He laughed nervously, rubbing the back of his hoof. They all looked nervous about something. The animatronics each hid under something. Either a box or in a trashcan. Meanwhile, In Canterlot’s Throne Room. “And now I present, the heroes of Equestria.” A royal guard announced, letting Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Twilight, Applejack and Fluttershy in. They all did a small bow to Princess Celestia before raising their heads. “State your buisness.” Princess Celestia said, in a flat voice. She was doing paperwork which was normal for her at this time. Twilight looked at AJ, who then nodded at her. She took a deep breath before saying what was important. “We think there might be changelings in Canterlot. Y’see... Earlier today me and the girls were walking through the streets, saying hi to the ponies n’ stuff... When we saw these things. At first I thought they were harmless because one of them was chasing a stallion in a guard uniform. We were just going to walk past when he tripped and the thing chasing it just.. dig it’s hook into his shoulder. Then when we tried to get the stallion to safety, the thing just slit his throat. Rainbow then punched the thing and we were able to get the stallion to the hospital, he’s on life support. Finding any family or friends hasn’t been effective. I think this guy might not have any family.” Aj stated, getting a concerned look from Celestia. Princess Celestia was confused, but took into detail the fact that he was a guard. “Did he have any ID to say where he worked? We need more information on where he worked.”Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Twilight, Applejack all shook their heads. Fluttershy stated something that would change the case. “Uh.. he had an ID. It dropped out of his pocked when he was running.” Fluttershy then proceeded to pull out an ID from her saddlebag. “It says, his name is Dan Williams and the usual stuff, He’s 21 and some non helpful stuff.” Fluttershy then proceeded to pull out a uniform that belonged to Dan. “I mentioned to the nurse that we were visiting you and she insist that I take these to you, since she was coming over here anyways and it would save her a trip.” Princess Celestia levitated the evidence to inspect, seeing the basics of a flashlight, pen, tie, ect. But the badge caught her off guard. What it read would deeply confuse her. The badge read “Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza.” She was confused, this place had never existed and the man apparently worked there. “Please interview the man, I think there’s more if you put in the effort.” Celestia said, nodding at Twilight as they made their way to the hospital one more time. Princess Celestia sighed. As they left, the doors closed and Celestia got up and went to her room, getting into bed and letting sleep overtake her.
