//------------------------------// // Chapter 3: Foxy Strikes! // Story: Five Nights at Freddy's: MLP Style // by JusSonic //------------------------------// Chapter 3: Foxy Strikes! Celestia was having tea in her study, looking over some books. She looks up and saw a sight that concerns her; Twilight, coming in and looking like she has been through a Hell known as Tartarus. "Twilight," Celestia said gently as Twilight came over. The two lovers nuzzle one another. "Are you okay? How was your first night?" "It's damnation, if you pardon the language." Twilight said to Celestia tiredly. "We have been through a Hell known as Freddy Fazbear's Pizza." "Well, have tea with me, my love, and tell me." The two Alicorns have tea together as Twilight explained the night, from Starker meeting, to the Phone Guy's call, to the close calls as well as the near death experience. Celestia's eyes widen as she explains that this has been going on for a few years now from what Starker has told her. "Oh dear; you are lucky to come out of that one intact." Celestia said gently while putting sugar cubes in her drink. "I know you probably want me to give up...but I can't. If I quit, those robots will try to break out of there and will go out to look for me...and may hurt innocent ponies while doing so!" Twilight explains in concern. "They want to kill me most of all, I don't know why yet. I can't quit now." "I wasn't going to. There was a reason why I chose you for this besides the funding thing." "There is? What?" "This." Celestia said as she made two newspaper clippings fold over, putting them in front of Twilight. "Please read." Twilight nods slowly, the reason has to be in here. Twilight begins reading the first headline... "Foals vanish at local pizzeria - bodies not found" Two local foals were reportedly lured into a back room during the late hours of operation at Freddy Fazbear's pizza on the night of June 26th. While video surveillance identified the stallion responsible and led to his capture the following morning, the foals themselves were never found and are presumed dead. The Royal Guards think that the suspect dressed as a mascot to earn the foals' trust. Twilight's eyes widen in horror after reading it. It got worse when she reads the next headline... "Five foals now reported missing. Suspect convicted." Five foals are now linked to the incident at Freddy Fazbear's Pizza, where a stallion dressed as a cartoon mascot lured them into a back room. While the suspect has been charged, the bodies themselves were never found. Freddy Fazbear's Pizza has been fighting an uphill battle ever since to convince families to return to the pizzeria. "It's a tragedy." Twilight's memories snapped as she remembered that night at Freddy Fazbear's Pizza years ago when she was a filly. The mare snuck into the back room when a stallion in a Golden Freddy outfit lured those foals in there. She watched from hiding as the mascot appears to have a surprise for them. When he took out a knife...and...to her horror...he...he... "Twilight; Twilight," Celestia exclaims, snapping Twilight out of it, making her scream in alarm. "Oh! Celestia! Sorry, you were saying?" Twilight ask her love with a sheepish smile. Celestia gave a weary look to her. "As you know, the suspect who was charged was captured, but we never found the foals' bodies. I suspected that they may be somewhere in the pizzeria." "But didn't they change locations since then? The memory of the pizza place was...different from what I heard." "Yes, yes, but we suspected that the bodies could be in the third location." Celestia explains with a sigh. She put a leg around Twilight, hugging while continuing, "Listen. The families of those foals had been devastated. They don't know what happens to their young ones. I want to find out where they are and put their worries to rest. If you wish, though, I could have someone else do the mission." "No, I can do this. I will find those foals...and solve the mystery." Twilight said, squeaking a little. She has to go back to the nightmare known as Freddy's to find out the answer to the unsolved mystery that haunted families for years... Celestia and Twilight smiles warmly to each other...then hugs while kissing each other on the lips; The purple Alicorn needs the comfort that she can before going back to Freddy's tonight. --------------------- Although the Mane Five and Spike doesn't like the idea, they agree to go with Twilight for another time of "fun" at Freddy's. Starker has given them a key so they just let themselves in. They gave a look at Freddy, Bonnie and Chica, still in one place on the Stage. The ponies and Dragon shudder as they rush down the hall to the office. "Well, the battery's recharged." Spike said, spotting the battery now recharged. "Let's hope it stays that way this time." "I hope so too." Fluttershy meekly said as Twilight got in the seat. "So what the princess has to say?" "Plenty; Years ago, a stallion in a Freddy mascot suit lured five foals into the backroom at this restaurant." Twilight explains sternly to her friends, making their eyes widen. "He has been caught but the bodies had never been found." "Oooooh, so we're looking for bodies? Spoooooooky," Pinkie said with a happy squee. "Pinkie, not now." As they go on with the 2nd night, they see the Pink pony once more as she was sitting at a table watching the stage and tapping her hooves while waiting. Freddy was active lightly and sits as they were talking while she was eating a pizza "I guess you were not joking but I nearly had that Alicorn in my grasp." Freddy remarks to Pinkamena with a grunt. Pinkamena frowns as she spoke, "I noticed but still she was a little filly and yet you blame her; look you know and I know it was an imposter in a Freddy suit." "You think I don't know that? We all do but yet she had no guts to do anything." Pinkamena bangs on the table making him flinch as she says in a lower tone, "She was a little filly a little foal; what was a little unicorn going to do with a grown man with a KNIFE? SHE WOULD’VE BEEN DEAD LIKE THE OTHER FIVE!" Freddy backs up a bit from the jolt of rage coming from her as he thinks and something clicks slightly recalling that she was a filly and might of not been able to do much magic but he shakes the thought away and says, "That might be but still we will get her and make her suffer and also sorry that we did not play hide and seek this time." "It's ok, besides there's pretty much a lot of tense right now but still you should think about it over and maybe talk to her." "Hmmmm...........................maybe I will think it over but for now." She nods and is done as the pink pony gets up and heads off. Pinkamena said, "I know; see you next night." Pinkamena then climbs up though a Vent as Freddy returns to his place and readies himself. --------------------------------------------- Outside the restaurant, there was a storm cloud brewing nearby. Not a pleasant thing in the night where killer robots are haunting the place. Then suddenly without warning, a lightning bolt struck down and electrified an antenna off the building. From the aftershocks, the place shook as everyone seem frighten of what was going on. But unknown to them, the extra surge of electricity seem to course through the wire cables, and seem to reach a certain spot in Pirate Cove...where the broken Foxy was located. The energy surge from the storm zips and jolted its unmoving body as if nothing seem to have happened. But then something did happen...its optic eyes seem to glow again, it's metal fingers began to twitch, as it was seen...Foxy was....back online again! Meanwhile, the Mane Six's group was still in the safe security room, trying to make sure everything was okay, that sudden shaking from being hit by lightning freaked them out. "Okay, as if being in a place that wants to kill us and get back at Twilight wasn't enough," Rainbow Dash groans to say in seeing this was not a happy moment for them. "What about Freddy's group?" Twilight asked with concerns, that distracted could have caused Freddy or the others to move about. "I found them darling...and...they seem to be together in...Pirate Cove," Rarity spoke in checking the security cameras to find all three of the animatronic killers in one spot. "Hugh? Isn't that where Foxy is?" Pinkie Pie pondered the thought of recalling who's there. "Reckon so," Applejack nods off to agree there. "But why there?" Spike asked in not following the subject. The gang was curious and decided to watch carefully in what exactly were Freddy & his two pals up to. The ponies look at the image for Pirate Cove carefully. Suddenly, Foxy peeks out and screeches madly, causing the girls and Spike to scream in terror. The big night has truly begun! 12:00 AM, 2nd Night "That was intense!" Rainbow exclaims frantically as the ponies and Spike recovers from the mad incident. It's like Foxy wants to jump out of the image and strike at their souls. As Twilight recover, the phone begins to ring. It must be another one of the Phone Guy's messages. And as usual, the answering machine picks it up. "Uhh, hello; hello; uh, well, if you're hearing this and you made it to day two, uh, congrats!" "YAY!! Good for us!!" Rainbow Sarcastically Shouted to Phone Guy even though she is scared. "I-I won't talk quite as long this time since Freddy and his friends tend to become more active as the week progresses." "Well, 'dat's just great..." Applejack groaned as she is still scared. "Uhh, it might be a good idea to peek at those cameras while I talk just to make sure everyone's in their proper place. You know..." "Uhh duh, you think?!" Pinkie said to the phone guy while she is being sarcastic and scared. "Uh... Interestingly enough, Freddy himself doesn't come off stage very often. I heard he becomes a lot more active in the dark though, so, hey, I guess that's one more reason not to run out of power, right?" "Huh, so Freddy doesn't come out in the day anymore? How's that possible..." Twilight said being confused and scared...though the mare knew the reason why, she hasn't gotten the full details yet. "I-I also want to emphasize the importance of using your door lights. There are blind spots in your camera views, and those blind spots happen to be right outside of your doors. So if-if you can’t find something, or someone, on your cameras, be sure to check the door lights. Uh, you might only have a few seconds to react…Uh, not that you would be in any danger, of course. I'm not implying that." "Alright darling..." Rarity said to the Phone Guy being scared as the message continues. "Also, check on the curtain in Pirate Cove from time to time. The character in there seems unique in that he becomes more active if the cameras remain off for long periods of time. I guess he doesn't like being watched. I don't know. Anyway, I'm sure you have everything under control! Uh, talk to you soon." "Wait, come back!" Fluttershy attempted to call back to the Phone Guy but failed as the message ends. "Oh dear, if this is like Markiplier, our butts are gonna be munched, and they're gonna shove us into teddy bear outfits, and they're gonna laugh..." Pinkie Pie said while being scared. "HOW CAN YOU BE RANDOM AT A TIME LIKED THIS," Rainbow shouted to Pinkie while being scared. "We got to get ready." Twilight said as she looks at the images. The next hunt has now begun. The ponies prepared themselves, waiting for one of the animatronics to move. Soon, they noticed that Bonnie was no longer on stage. Twilight checked the camera and sure enough, Bonnie was in the Backstage area. He glares at the camera as if saying "I know you're there." Bonnie then smirked devilishly as he removed his head, showing his endoskeleton one, screeching madly at the camera. Twilight screamed in fear at watching this. "Change the channel, change the channel!" Pinkie exclaimed, forcing Twilight to change the channel. "Wow! I wonder why they didn't use that for the game but in the trailer?" "Too scared to say you're random, Pinks." Rainbow said with a shiver. Twilight looked at the camera, checking the Stage. Chica was gone now. She quickly checked the Dining Room. The chicken was there, looking around. "I wonder what she's waiting for." Fluttershy said meekly. "You know what's funny? Chica sounded like Twilight when she talks! I'm guessing the author got the idea of a fake movie page of Five Nights at Freddy's!" Pinkie explained happily, trying to brighten up the moment. "Movie about 'dis; Yew nuts," Applejack asked Pinkie, who gave an innocent smile to her. "Wait, where's Foxy?" Twilight asked of in not finding Foxy where they last saw him on camera. "He was right there last I saw him." Spike pointed in where he last saw the unmoving fox. "Turn fer a darn minute, an' look what happened." AJ rolled her eyes in seeing this ain't gonna be easy handling a fourth moving killer on their hooves. "Found him! Wow, he's moving fast!" Pinkie Pie stated to say in finding Foxy, but he seem more zippy than the others of Freddy's gang. "Wait, how fast?" Rainbow Dash raised an eyebrow in not liking the sounds of that. "Down the hall corner leading to..." Pinkie Pie saw Foxy running down a hallway that seem to lead towards...an office area they are in. "US! On the left open door!" She yelped in terror of where Foxy is coming from. "Oh my goodness, some pony shut it before..." Rarity yelped to say that they must act fast or... Then, without warning, Foxy was soon heard screeching like a metallic monster to already reach the opening before anyone could shut the door on the left in time. "Eeeeekkkk! HE'S HEREEEE!" Fluttershy screamed in terror that they are doomed now. But then, just as Foxy stretched off to almost kill Fluttershy, his fast movement was stopped by...a rubber band? "Hugh! Waaaaughhh!" Then Foxy yelped in realizing what happened and was shot out of the room in the nick of time, too, where Rarity shut the door to keep the evil killer fox from coming at them. "Wah...what happened?" Spike asked in not getting what just saved them. "Silly, I put in a stretchy rubber-band, and if any meany jumps to attack us, they get shot back." Pinkie Pie happily explained how she did that little work. "Pinkie, I don't know what we would do without your randomness." Twilight sighed in relief that her pink pony pal did something that saved them. "But how in Equestria did Foxy move so much quicker than the others?" Rarity asked, puzzled in what was going on in how Foxy moved so fast all of a sudden. "Right, Freddy an' them others were stocking real sneaky like not faster than a cheetah." AJ stated in thinking something wasn't right here. "That surge of power we just felt, it must have gave him a boost. And if he or any of the others can get another jump boost from more lightning, they might become harder to locate." Twilight explained a theory in what maybe the reaction in how Foxy became so much more faster, a boost of lightning in the machine can make even old devices work more better efficient. "Great and the Pegasus ponies just happen to be doing a full week of stormy weather all this week." Rainbow Dash rolled her eyes in seeing they got big trouble coming their way; which might make things harder every time these animatronics get extra juice to make them move faster than usual. Rarity heard a growl and turned the lights on for the right door. There's Chica glaring while snapping, "Give us the princess." "NEVER," Rarity exclaimed, closing the door. Rainbow quickly closed the left door in case Foxy recovered. "Both doors secured." Rainbow said while checking on the power, "Though we lost a bit of power." Pounding noises were heard, making the ponies yelped as Foxy was heard screeching, "Arrrr! We be needing 'dat princess an' we be cutting anypony's throat who get in our way!" "What does y'all want with Twilight, ya monsters?!" Applejack shouted. "'Dat be us to know and ye to never find out!" Foxy's voice growl. The ponies shivered while Twilight sat in her chair. The gang waited a while before checking on Pirate's Cove. Foxy was back in there now. "Why would they wanna hurt Twilight?" Fluttershy asked her friends in sadness. "Come on. Practically every monster in Equestria wants a piece of the new princess." Spike commented. He then turned to Twilight in concern, "Not to scare you, of course, Twilight." "This place was a place of fantasy and fun for foals." Twilight said with a shiver. "I wish I had a daughter so I can forbid her from coming here." "What about Nyx?" Applejack reminds Twilight of her adopted daughter. "Right, silly me. I can't believe I almost forgot her." Twilight said, calming down a bit. "By the way, Applejack, thanks for having Big Mac watch her while I am gone." "No prob, Twi. Anythin' for our favorite filly," Applejack said. Twilight checked the cameras then frowned a bit. Some of the cameras were disabled. "Ugh, those stupid robots messed with some of the cameras." Twilight said with a groan. "Maybe we could use a circuit breaker to get them moving." Spike said thoughtfully. "Is there a circuit breaker?" Twilight checked the cameras, then pointed to a camera, "Well, there's a circuit breaker in the Broom Closet." "Right, I will go out, flip the switches and be right back." Spike said, offering to help out. "Spike, not a good idea," Rarity said to Spike in worry. "What if those things catch you in there?" "I will run like a maniac." Spike said as he flipped the left door open and headed out. "Be right back." "Spike, we don't wanna lose you." Fluttershy said fearfully. "Relax. The least that can happen is the suit part, and I am too small to be crushed to death." Spike said with a laugh while leaving, taking a head speaker before leaving so that he can communicate if need be. Twilight sighed. Spike was a brave, yet stupid Dragon sometimes. ---------------------- Spike was seen entering a room with controls that seem like an electric circuit. He blew his emerald flames to get some light in the room, nothing out of the ordinary. And he was being watched by a camera at this time by those keeping an eye on him. "Wait, did something move?" Rarity asked in seeing from the camera system that flickered, and someone moved. Spike was finally fixing the setup to where some power would work around the area in question and help keep everything running a little longer. "Few...that should do it," Spike sighed to say in being done. But then suddenly, as Spike shut the door, something was standing nearby in looking down at the Dragon; it was Bonnie the Bunny. "SPIKE; WATCH OUT!" Pinkie Pie yelled from a voice com speaker that was heard that Spike wore and heard the message. Spike suddenly looks slowly at what was near him and he looked like a deer frozen in the headlights. Then the creature screeched in, about to pounce. "Waaahhh," Spike screamed to suddenly duck away from his attacker. Then in another defense, Spike blew his fire breath to keep the creature away. "Spike...Spike! Respond!" Twilight was with the others, wondering if her assistant was safe. Then a loud noise was heard as the mares screamed, but then when the steel door opened, Spike rushed in, looking all panicky. "Hugh...hugh....did I lose it?" Spike asked from panting in wondering if he got whole was after him. Then the group check the camera in seeing Spike's flames died out, but the only thing seen was apart of the animatonic creature's furry stuff burn. "Spike, best we don't get our hopes up if we got one or not. Them things move an' vanish like ghosts." AJ issued to say this fact. "They're not normal! They're ghosts! THEY'RE GHOSTS IN THE MACHINES!" Pinkie Pie screamed out in terror that what they got was something that ain't normal. "Pull yourself together! We can't let them win this!" Rainbow Dash snaps in trying to keep the group focus. "Win? I WANT TO SURVIVE RAINBOW DASH!" Rarity was clutching her friend in sheer terror, this was no game, they are being stalked by animatronics that have the urge...to kill and massacre them in horrors that was too cruel to discuss. "What'll we do?!" Fluttershy cried. Twilight peeked at the camera, checking out the Dining Room. Bonnie was in there, his fur burnt off, but he's okay, so to speak. The pony checked the Stage. Freddy's still there, but he's glaring at the camera, as if waiting for a mistake to happen. Suddenly, the image went static...as a Puppet-like figure appeared, snarling at her. Twilight screamed and fell out of her chair. "What's wrong, Twilight?" Pinkie asked Twilight. "It's some sort of Puppet freak thing!" Twilight exclaimed in terror, pointing at the image. The other mares looked and saw...just the West Hall image. Nothing's there. "You sure you saw a Puppet?" Spike asked Twilight curiously. "I DON'T KNOW! Years ago, Freddy's used to have a creepy puppet figure at Prize Corner...but it was supposed to be scrapped along with the new bots!" Twilight exclaimed, shivering a bit. "Well, if it's gone, how could it show up now?" Applejack asked in concern. No one spotted an invisible hand pressing the button that opened the left door before disappearing. Rarity said, "Twilight, perhaps the nights are getting to you." "Oh yes. Perhaps they are...maybe I am hallucinating." Twilight said with a sigh. She then looked concerned upon seeing that the left door was opened again. "Wait, wasn't that left door closed?" "Well..." Fluttershy said in concern. Suddenly, without warning, a familiar hook came from out of nowhere and grabbed Fluttershy by the mane, pinning her to the panel. Foxy appeared, screeching furiously. "Let me go! Please!" Fluttershy cried fearfully. "HEY BUDDY! LET HER GO OR ELSE!" Pinkie Pie snapped at the fox to let their pal go from his clutches. "Or else what," Foxy snapped off in a menacing tone. "THIS!" Then Pinkie Pie then grabbed a bucket of water from out of nowhere, and splashed it right onto the bot. "Geg-i-Grrooo-Graaarurghhhh," Then the animatronic fox was screeching out while short-circuiting at the time. "Pinkie; was that even wise?" Rarity asked her friend if that was even the smartest thing to do. "Won't the water cause this thing to get more out of control?" Rainbow Dash stated in thinking that this will make things worse with a robot more out of control. "Fer-get dat; Kick him out!" AJ snapped to say that they just gotta get this thing out of their space. Then Applejack lasso'd Foxy by his hand and then swung him right out the right door before Spike quickly push the button to seal it shut. There were banging sounds and more screeching noises with flashy sparks outside a window view, but everyone seem to be shaking from having escaped that close calling. "Are you okay Fluttershy?" Twilight check her friend if she was not hurt after being in danger like that. "Gulp...I'll be fine...I think. How much more time is left?" Fluttershy lightly swallowed hard before asking how long till it's six in the morning. "It's three, we got 3 hours left." "Oh dear. How could anything so fun and fantasy given to foals be so evil at night?" Twilight hesitates, recalling what happened in the Backstage years ago as a filly...as well as that dark Puppet that appeared. The mare answers, "I wish I can answer you Fluttershy, I truly do." --------------------- The ponies spend a few more hours dealing with the robots. They kept an eye on Foxy who would leave Pirate's Cove then made sure to close the door on him. Often, they kept their eyes on Bonnie or Chica...but mostly Freddy. Twilight suspects that the main mascot of the group is the most dangerous of them all. Twilight looks at the camera and yelps as the Puppet thing appear, giving her a nasty look. The Alicorn rub her eyes and looks again. It's gone. "That Puppet...why does it keep appearing so," Twilight whispered to herself in worry. That thing acted like...it was behind what's going on tonight; But how, "Say, who's watching the door?" "I think it was Rainbow Dash's turn and..." Rarity said then she yelps as a familiar bunny suddenly came into the office, "EEEK! BONNIE!" "Gotcha now," Bonnie declared in having the gang now. "No you don't!" Pinkie Pie spoke off to say. "Yes I do! I got you!" Bonnie) stated again to make it clear. "No you don't!" Pinkie Pie objected to say this one didn't have them. "Yes I do!" Bonnie stated that he has them. "No you don't!" Pinkie Pie stated off that this one didn't. "Yes I do!" Bonnie stated that he has them again. "No you don't!" Pinkie Pie stated off that this one didn't have them. "Yes I do!" Bonnie stated that he has them. "Yes you do!" Pinkie Pie stated off that this claim with a reverse twist. "No I don't!" Bonnie proclaimed out this matter without realizing a mistake. "Yes you do! Cause you're in our office and at your mercy!" Pinkie Pie declared this off to say this final claim. "No I don't! I do NOT got you! And to prove it, I'm leaving!" Bonnie issued off to say this while turning away here to go out the door. "I can't believe that actual worked." Rainbow Dash said off in doubt of what happened. "In truth, don't think it was supposed ta." AJ shook her head to say this. "Won't work on me," Chica is heard yelling from the right door. Spike turns on the lights for that door, showing the chicken screeching. "Not tonight!" Spike exclaims as he pushes the lights, shutting Chica off. "Quick, what time is it, Twilight?" "Five AM.' Twilight said, checking the time. "We got one more hour left. We must hang in there..." "Wait, is that Freddy" Pinkie ask, noticing the cameras as she saw Freddy going down the West Hall. "Hey! He isn't supposed to do that until the lights are off. The bear is breaking the rules of the video game!" "Pinkie; now is not the time to be random!" Rainbow exclaims frantically. "What will we do now?" Fluttershy ask frantically. "Should we close the door?" "Not sure." Twilight yelps as she checks the generator. "We are almost to the last of our power." "No worries. I got another idea to give us more time." Rainbow explains to Twilight with a thoughtful look on her face. Yes! It could work! Just as it looks like Freddy was slowly about to come into the room and get to Twilight, Rainbow instantly flew up to the guy's face which made the others yelp worry in what the reckless Pegasus was gonna do. "Must....Kill...." Freddy spoke in about to kill the Pegasus until... "Hey buddy, if you wanna kill someone, try talking to your buddies. I heard they are cheating you behind your back." Rainbow Dash spoke slyly in addressing the manner to tell this bear costume killer about what was happening behind his back. "Hmmm," Freddy raised an eyebrow in being puzzled, what were his animatronic buddies doing that they are cheating behind his back? "Listen, I heard one of them was cheating with your wife while you are not looking. In fact, we just saw one of them doing it right now." Rainbow Dash came near the guy's ear in issuing this fact that Freddy's wife was having an affair with one of his buddies. "WHAAAAAT," Freddy yelled out in his eyes gone wide in being completely off guard by the news, "Why those no good dirty....HOW DARRRRE THEY CHEAT WITH MY WIFE! I'LL RIIIIPE THEM APAARRRTTT!" He yelled out in looking really angry, as he seems to blow steam from his ears in showing his unleashed fury. Soon Freddy was turning away from the gang that sigh in relief, the killer bot was leaving them alone to handle other issues much to not being aware of having been tricked. "Rainbow, what was that about?" Rarity asked her friend in what Rainbow Dash did. "Yeah, everyone knows Freddy isn't married. Otherwise, we would have seen her in this pizza restaurant." Pinkie Pie raised an eyebrow in thinking that Freddy isn't married, they would have told the kids if he was or at least see his wife. "You know it, I know it, we all know it...but he sure doesn't know it." Rainbow Dash slyly spoke in saying she fooled Freddy to leave with that idea that his wife was cheating on him was all make-believe. "Oh my, will it keep them busy?" Fluttershy asked in concern now if that can by them enough time. "Hopefully for the next fifteen seconds." Spike spoke to say in seeing that it was 5:59 AM, and they have only the last seconds remaining. "Ten seconds and counting...." He was counting down when... "WAIT A MINUTE! WHAT KINDA GAME ARE YOU PLAYING ME FOR," Freddy's voice was heard over the hallway in having learn that he was easily duped. Soon a loud roar was heard that echo in the restaurant that made the gang yelp with fear. And from the security cameras, they find Freddy was going all feral mode in chasing across the other rooms, coming at where the gang are at. They seem worry, will they make it in time, the door to keep shut was now close, but for how long? As some bear claws press down to grasp below, and was...trying to left the door open much to everyone's shock. "Five...Four...Three...Two..." Spike was counting down the last numbers... Then Freddy was seen having pushed the shut door up, and looked really ticked off with glowing red eyes, and snarling gritted teeth, as he let off a feral roar at the group. "Waaaaaaughhhhh," The mares huddle together to scream in seeing they are about to die from upsetting Freddy with a lie about a make-believe wife; Can't this guy even take a little joke, apparently not and it will be their last. Then without warning, that familiar bell ring came from out of nowhere, followed by foals cheering. This caused Freddy to cease his feral action to suddenly freeze and for the Mane Six to slowly open their eyes in wondering...if they are safe now. "One...Its 6 am," Spike spoke off in issuing the fact of what time it was, they made it to the safety hour when the nightmare would be over. With that known, Freddy's programming kicks in that he slowly begins to get up straight and moves away from the gang to return to the stage. Much of the gang sighs in relief, somehow, they have now made it through another night. "Rainbow...good one," Applejack said, kissing her love on the cheek. Rainbow chuckles faintly then just fainted. ----------- "A wife, huh," Starker laughs as the Mane Six and Spike told him what happened. "Now that is one idea that we should've tried...in fact, if I would've made Freddy a wife, he wouldn't be the only bear in here." "Wait, hang on. Did you make those things?" Twilight ask Starker while looking at the new stuffed doll that Starker gave her: a toy plush of Chica. Only Freddy left to get. "Yep. I made Freddy and them all. I am practically their dad, which is one of the reasons I barely managed for Foxy to be around after the Bite of '87. Oh, that poor foal..." "I thought you said that you didn't know who was bitten back then." Spike said, recalling what Starker said. "Yeah, I know, but I made some phone calls...spoke to the princess through mail. According to me, the victim was a young foal named Aurora Star." Starker said, recalling the name of the foal. "I didn't know all the details yet." "I think....I should give her a visit." Twilight said thoughtfully. "Since she survived having the frontal lobe bitten off, I may as well get the details." "Do we have to come here another night?" Rarity asks Twilight frustrated. "I don't know if I could take that." "Neither do I...but the mysteries around this place must be answered...Starker? Didn't you had a Puppet..." "You mean the Marionette?" Starker ask Twilight puzzled. "We threw him out right after the second closing. We hadn't seen that thing since. Why?" "Just thought I asked." Twilight said with a shiver, her memories are still on...that Marionette thing... --------------------------- The Mane Six and Spike left to get some rest for the third night. As Starker went into the back to check to make sure that his family the robots didn't break anything, he fails to see a familiar Marionette like figure appearing, floating around and glaring at the robots. "My dear friends...you were robbed of your revenge last night." Marionette said to the robots, dusting Freddy off. "But tonight....will be the last night. You will be more better, my friends, I promise you that...and I think the new princess will meet a...golden surprise from her past." Marionette chuckles quietly as he disappears from sight. Freddy narrows his eyes, clutching his microphone tightly....
