//------------------------------// // Epilogue: Something's Old, Something Restored // Story: Five Nights at Freddy's: MLP Style // by JusSonic //------------------------------// Epilogue: Something's Old, Something Restored Things settle but they hear a sound and look. Everyone see Shadow Freddy sparking as it slowly stands. The thing's eyes glow. They were worried but some who notices is seeing something different. Shadow Freddy lets out a roar yawn as it looks at everypony and is slightly puzzled but a small buzzing sound is heard as it was Scanning. After a while it stops and then waves saying, "Hello folks..............welcome to Freddy's Pizza restaurant. My name is Shadow Freddy; don't let my looks scare you..........I am very kind and protective to all good boys and girls and grownups......................but you best behave and follow the rules or I will have to put you in time out." Many watch as Pinkamena says, "Guess it has returned to it's normal program but wonder if it acts not really robotic." Shadow Freddy looks around and it scratches it's head. "Um............................what in all Equestria happen.............is there an attack?" "Um no...........but any chance you can help fix the place up?" Twilight ask Shadow Freddy hopefully. "Someponys will be coming here soon." Shadow Freddy nods, speaking, "No worries Twilight Sparkle. We will have this place restored before sunrise." Shadow Freddy walks and was knocking some rubble away as it was lifting falling support Beams. The former threat gets a blow torch as it begins repairing as the group are surprised. "Wow, guess it was also designed to fix the place and also..............what he is able in absorbing magic and such like that................might of inspired Pinkamena from the main Equestria with her project of hers.................rather not reveal." Pinkamena said thoughtfully. She giggles making everyone even Shadow Freddy puzzled but he gets back to work. "Well come on everypony, we need to get this place all straighten up." They nod and all pitch in to help. --------------------- Things are finally back to normal in the world of Equestria. The Marionette is gone and the Animatronics with the souls inside them are finally at peace...though it appears that the ones trapped inside the robots, AKA the five missing foals especially Celestia's son, are gone for good. As the robots lay to rest at the medical room, everyone met up with Starker and the owner...who doesn't look pleased. "Look at my restaurant! Look at my bots!" The owner known as Big Whinny exclaims angrily. "No one would come back after this." "Be lucky you and everypony else is still alive." Twilight said to Big Whiny sternly. The manager growls angrily as he hands out pink slips, "What's this?" "Wait, I know these, they're termination slips!" Pinkie gasps as she reads her pink slip. "'tampering with the animatronics," "general unprofessionalism," and "odor'?" Rainbow asks in disbelief at her slip. "First off, we didn't mess with those guys, the lightning did." "Also what 'de hay about 'de unprofessionalism horse crap,” Applejack ask in disbelief. "How else were we supposed 'ta ask?" "And odor?! Sir, it was the robots who smell, not us." Rarity said sternly. "I don't care! You were all supposed to keep an eye on them! You're all fired!" Big Whinny remarks to the Mane Six and Spike sternly. "Big Whiny; you can't fire them." Starker said to his owner with an annoyed sigh. "They don't even work for us! They volunteer, remember?" "WELL THEN YOU'RE FIRED!" "No, you are." Celestia said sternly, startling Big Whinny. "Yes, it is true that it was Rough House was killed the foals...and it was the Marionette who drove them crazy...but you should've took measures to fix the robots up. The lack of concern for your restaurant is indeed serious." "Oh come bucking on! I didn't even know why the Animatronics went out of control in the first place." Big Whiny protested, upset that he is sharing part of the blame for the events that happened. "Still, you clean up the remains and file a "missing persons" report rather than fix the animatronics. Everything that happens is the unspooling consequences of you and your executives cutting costs and skating by on the least possible effort. As such, my sister and I are taking control of your company." "And we decree that Freddy's will be turned over to Starker." Luna declares. Everypony looks surprised, Big Whinny looks stunned while Starker looks amazed. "He cares for the Animatronics like his own family, therefore we shall give him the funding needed to start the place over." "Just please...don't make my aunts regret their decision." Cadance said to Starker calmly, knowing that he will do his best to get the company back on its hooves. Starker looks touched and flattered. He bows down while saying, "I will, your majesties, I will." Big Whinny stutters a bit. He has been removed from his position...and by the princesses. The unicorn groans, cursing as he leaves the restaurant, most likely for good! "Good riddance to him." Rarity said dryly and amused. Celestia of course sighs in sadness at the corpse of Robin. The guards went to work on opening Golden Freddy up and the bots off, removing a lot of corpses inside. Flare Tiger did realized something wrong after her dear friend went crazy. She knew him due to her foal hood when she's eleven years old, a young filly until everything's revealed due to happened. Marionette was anger at her for a few reasons that's it thought that Flare Tiger left it behind. Flare Tiger told the truth that she control the time, which make her immortal and unable to change it unless there's someone who will fixed it. Also, Flare Tiger knew Freddy Bear and his gang due to their birth, not until she didn't noticed something very wrong since the missing foals and the gang is connected. Flare Tiger decided to check to see what's inside, not like x-ray but used an ability to see spirit as she could see multiply of the souls in each of them, even Golden Freddy. Marionette had only one soul but the gang had a multiply of them because of they were stuffed into one another. Azure put an arm around Celestia, saying gently, "Celestia, I'm sorry for the losses. I really am." Celestia sobs a bit, saying in guilt and sadness, "I should have been there! I should have! Why couldn't I protect my own son! How couldn't I! How couldn't! I couldn't stop Iris from leaving before she died! And now I couldn't save my son's soul! I will never see him again!" Azure hugged Celestia closed to him. He spoke, "Sh... It's okay. It's okay. I know it hurt but... Rather than to force him to stay in the stuffed animal, he should be free... Free from his sufferings and torments. That's the most important thing as a parent...To help a child to be freed from his torment. It's what you wanted..." Celestia sniffed. She nods while saying, "You're right... He should be free. He suffered too much... I just wish I could spent some time with him. One last time..." Twilight wants to help one of her new filly friends. She turns to Schemetrick, speaking, "Schemetrick, isn't there anything you can do? You're a Mystic Pony." "Yeah! You're a God Pony! You can do anything!" Rainbow exclaims in agreement. "Yeah, sure; True," The rest of the Mane Six, Shining Armor, Cadance and even Luna said at once and in agreement. The Mystic Ponies must know of a way to save the five foals, right? Schemetrick however shakes his head at this. He explains, "It's not that simple. We maybe gods and immortals, but we have no rights to bring the life from death. Once you died, they must live in peace than to live in suffering." "Oh come on!" Rainbow exclaims in shock and anger. "Can't you somehow make an exception?" Pinkie asks in worry. "Right; Come on, there must be another way!" Spike exclaims in agreement. "There must be a way!" Twilight exclaims in regret. It's her fault that she didn't alerted anypony to what happened before. Some of the ponies kept protesting and begging. Having enough, Anger snaps: Face reality, kids! This is not a fairy tale! We lost so many soldiers and innocents in the war! They have the reason to died for! These kids... need peace! They need rest! They've done enough to be used and tortured by that bloody puppet! We can't force them to come back. What's done is done." Bullhound sighed, "Anger's right. It's time for them to rest. They're free from Marionette's control. We should be grateful to that." Meanwhile, after everyone has left the medical room with five cloth sheets over the bodies of the foals removed from the five animatronics, no one was left to notice something a mist was going on. For glowing in a silver light, something began to appear from beyond the wall to phases through like…a ghost? No, from its basic appearance, it seems more like…a spirit? It’s shown to be a tall, muscular Alicorn stallion with gray-white coat color, tan gray-white & white mix colors for his puff top, flat down mane & long tail, pointed two-top ears, and has gray violet/blue eyes. He has dark brown/gray marks on his hooves, his mouth, a mark on his forehead & spots over his nose area. His body does give off a glow, as if appearing as a luminous pony. He seems calm, peaceful, unaffected of being emotional in rage, anger, sadness, or show much of being a bit joyful in where he stood. His behavior is like that of a sage, or like a monk, being one all around him. He looks from the sheet bodies to Freddy’s crew before…making a move. “Arrroouughhhaaahh….” Then he lets off a strange mastic calling, as his presence seem to affect the deactivated robots. Then without warning, Freddy, Foxy, Bonnie, Chica, and even Golden Freddy seem to glow in a strange white light. Then something was focus to the center, and soon phase them out to show…FIVE glowing blue spirits of the missing foals. In mere moments, they began to slowly wake up to notice their…different surroundings and of their own state of condition. “Where…are we? What….happened…to us?” The colt spirit of Robin, Celestia’s child asked in seeing he was not Golden Freddy no more, his mind was working as it should. “You have been freed, of your curse…young spirits.” The five foal spirits turn to see a stranger in their spot, as he seem to have surprised them much. “Who…who are you?” A colt spirit from Bonnie asked in not knowing who this guy was. “Are you with the puppet?” Another colt spirit from Freddy asked in being cautious. “Remain calm…I am a friend, a real friend, here to help.” The silver pony spoke with his voice being heard within the foals' minds. “What are you gonna do with us?” A filly spirit from Chica asked in feeling nervous about now. “I am here to set amends, you…who have endured so much…are now free of your shackles.” The silver pony exclaimed to explain that those that were prisoners are now free from the Marionette. “I have come, to help heal you.” He spoke off in making this other claim of his being here. The five foals were very lost in trying to figure out who this guy was. He doesn't seem to speak with words from the mouth, but rather, he speaks using his mind to send messages to talk to them of what he has to say. He was acting like a priest, a seeker that from what they know goes where those that need his aid to heal those that are troubled. “What do you mean, heal us…we’re already dead?” Robin’s spirit asked off in being lost by this subject. “Listen closely, I…am Mangani, I can help heal the sick, the injured….and bring back those long since dead.” The revealed himself of who he is, and that he can help bring those here back to life again. “You mean…we’re not going to the great beyond?” Robin’s spirit slowly was asking in feeling like they are not going to the afterlife after all. “It is not your time….come; I shall give back what you lose…” Mangani shook his head while stating it was too soon for the young foals, and wish to proceed in giving them life again. Many of the foal spirits felt almost overwhelm to hear this; they can get their lives back before Roughhouse killed them. As many were flatting to accept this, one seems to be…uncertain. “Hey, what’s wrong?” One colt spirit asked in seeing one of them was not going along to be getting a life again. “I’m not sure…I wanna be revived. Not after…what I did to…her…” The colt spirit that came from Foxy spoke in not wanting to be brought to life again; not from what he..as Foxy did to someone. “But it wasn’t your fault.” Another colt spirit stated that it wasn’t this guy’s fault. “You couldn’t help it.” The filly spirit stated in knowing this guy wasn’t bad, he was forced into doing it. “But…she’s brain-damaged, her life is now miserable because…of what I did! This is…my punishment…for atoning her suffering,” The colt spirit that felt guilty about ‘the Bite’ incident, and felt like he shouldn’t get another chance at life if he made someone suffer for it all their life. “You not be burden with such things, child.” Mangani spoke off to calmly ease the weary soul of this child. “I have already tended to her…” He issued forth that he’s taken care of the matter already. “Hugh?” The guilty spirit colt and the others responded confuse, what did this guy mean he ‘tended’ to the filly that had the Bite. “I visited her place when I sense the evil was gone and helped heal that which brought…a burden to her family, and to herself.” As Mangani’s voice spoke, the victim of the Bite had the remains of her missing part of the back of her head recovered. And as the sister was about to treat her sleeping sister, she rose up, and for the first time…her eyes were lit with more life then she has had in a very long time. “Sister….I….remember; I remember…everything. I’m…I’m me again.” Aurora Star slowly spoke to address her sister in having regained what she lost. “Hugh?” Then Sapphire Locket turn around to gasp in checking the Bite mark, the scar of where it was was gone; she went leap to show tears…it was a miracle. Aurora Star, the little filly that couldn't remember her own sister when she came in to help...was back. The foal spirits that heard what Mangani said were also amazed, he helped the filly that was apart of the incident Bite to have a normal life again. “Come, it is time….you need not fear….a second chance.” Mangani spoke off to offer those here sanctum and to give them the blessing to live again. “Come on, let’s do this….we all wanna see our families again, right?” Robin’s spirit spoke in trying to get everyone excited for this. “Yeah,” Three of the foals cheered in wanting to go along with this, as this was no evil lie, but a good pony wanting to help them. “Um….yeah, me too,” The colt spirit that was guilty felt a little more comfy as he’ll give it another shot at being alive and hope for the best when the time comes. “Then let me heal you, at long last.” Mangani declared off in wanting to heal those that have long since needed this. Soon the foal spirits approached their rotted and decay bodies that were covered in sheets to block off the sight of rotted flesh and the smell. And soon, Mangani began to glow white while waving out his hooves towards the bodies and the spirits, letting a calm and green aura in slowly doing something. “Ooouaaarrrwwwuuughhh,” Then with another majesties wail sound, something was seen…the rotted flesh of a hoof seen off the sheet was looking…like it’s flesh was rejuvenating and it’s open cuts and seen bones were being covered up. The five spirit foals suddenly felt themselves drift down into the bodies under the sheets; And then in mere moments, from the sheets showed two glowing eyes behind the covers, as if…something was looking. ------------------------ At this time, the strange noise and glowing white light attracted the presence of the Royal Sisters, the Mane Six, Spike, Golden Heart, Pinkamena, Shining Armor & Cadence. That light died down, but it came from the medical bay area. “What’s going on?” Rainbow Dash question doff in seeing something happened all of a sudden. “It’s coming from the medical bay.” Rarity stated in knowing where the originated from. “Don’t tell me dat Marionette is at it again!” Applejack narrows her eyes i thinking the evil puppet was at his usual tricks. “We have to check it out.” Twilight issued to her friends in what they must do. But suddenly, as everyone rush to make a turn around the corner…the door to the room was opened. They all got ready to expect the worse, like Freddy & his crew coming out to attack them, however…what came out was…more shocking than imagined. “Oh my goodness….” Fluttershy gasped in seeing what was seen here. “Holy Pizza Deals on Fridays!” Pinkie Pie gasped in having seen this as a shocker. “Is that…?” Spike slowly was about to say until… “Son…” Celestia cuts in to say the words that came to her. What was seen coming out of the door was not a killer robotic, but of a young foal, a colt actually. And it was none other than Robin, but his body that was supposed to have been rotund and smelly and miss some guts and expose bones, they were not there; it’s as if, he was never dead to begin with. Everyone was silent in seeing this, not making any moves, but Celestia…seem to feel almost ready to burst, and soon Robin noticed his mother nearby with the others. “Mom,” Robin called out to seeing his mother with both puzzled and surprise expressions. “ROBIN!” Then Celestia rush over to hug the child who happily was embraced by her hooves and her wings. “You’re alive?” She smiled for joy, her child was alive again. “It’s not just him, LOOK!” Golden Heart pointed to seeing who else was coming out of the room for everyone to see; the other four foals. “Holy Cupcakes; All of the missing foals are alive again!” Pinkamena gasped off i seeing what was going on here, the dead foals are alive again. “It’s a miracle. Ah-hah….they’re not illusions, they’re real!” Shining Armor stated while laughing in pure joy of this news. “Oh Shiny, their folks can rejoice in seeing their children again!” Cadence happily hug her love in seeing this. “But, how was this possible? We saw them, how are they…” Twilight was flabbergasted in not knowing how this all came to be. “It was that silver glowing pony spirit who helped us!” Robin smiled off to say in stating how they were helped to be revived again. “Silver glowing pony….do you mean…the Spirit Pony; Mangani, was it him, the Silver Pony Healer was here?” Luna suddenly based in knowing just what sorta pony came to help the five decease souls; the one who has the greatest healing abilities. “Yeah, he helped us and helped that filly who got the Bite too.” Robin smiled off to say which surprised everyone even more that another miracle had occurred. “It’s a true blessing of a miracle, I couldn’t ask for anything more.” Celestia smiled forth in being so happy, her child is no longer dead; those that also suffered are brought back to life. “I think I know what we need to do, we have to show Azure Phoenix and the others this while we make plans to get these missing kids back home.” Shiny suggested this as what they do next here help get every one of the missing foals back to where they belong. Everyone was in agreement as they smiled and nodded, and turns to leave the scene. While not knowing that Mangani had also magically vanished like a spirit in the room where the animatronics were…only now they were cleaner, not so broken, and best of all, don’t smell like rotten flesh and blood stains. It was somehow to help even some robotic shells that house the foal spirits, and now they too…are cleanse of what was making them scary and evil. ------------------------ The Mystic Ponies looks bewildered and shock to find out that the five foals are back to life, thanks to Mangani. The other corpses that were stuffed inside the robots are still dead, especially since the remains had since rotted away for any hope of recovery. At least some lives are back...though the five foals got a lot of catching up to do. The families of the missing foals had been alerted. Robin and the ones involved are waiting for their families to come...well, just the other four. Robin is back with his own family. At the Canterlot Castle as Twilight Sparkle and her gang met up with Azure Phoenix, the sun rose up which cause them to be shocked. Twilight Sparkle wonders as she ask, "But who rise the sun?" Unknown spoke, "Ah did." They looked around and found a familiar largest Alicorn walked into the room as it's Flare Tiger. She walked up to them and bow to them while saying, "Ah came in and sense something wrong, and mah dear friends filled me in of what's happened. Ah wish to join in and Ah knew of it's history." Azure Phoenix spoke, "No, You not go there! Well, before today anyway!" Twilight Sparkle nodded in agreement, speaking, "He's right, and I am very curious, why you want to go there?" Flare Tiger looked at the window with sadness and answers, "Ah used 'ta be friends with them from a long time ago. Ah want to surprised them for a reason." Pinkie Pie gasped, "Long friendship forever? But there are foals' souls inside machines..." Flare Tiger chuckled, "Well, there is more, there is a story of five famous actresses who loved make anypony happy for reasons. But in the end, they're dried and didn't want 'ta leave until the owner of the machines came in." Twilight Sparkle gasped, "So they can be immortal by moving their souls into the machines! But what cause the change to happen?" Flare Tiger answers, "Blackout. That's another reason Ah'm here for, to fix this problem that's 'de owner of the machines could not." Applejack nodded, "Then could ya point out which machines that ya spoke o'?" Flare Tiger grinned as she answers, "Freddy Bear, Bonnie, Chica, Foxy, and Golden Freddy. They're very much a treasure to me." Fluttershy wonder as she ask, "I was wondering, is there old names behind them?" Flare Tiger chuckled, "Eenope; that is their real name." Twilight Sparkle was deep think then decided, "Well, We glad to take you too when the party starts." Azure Phoenix gasped in groan and annoyance, "I don't get you..." Twilight Sparkle walked up to Flare Tiger then kissed her on lip, which cause everyone else to be a bit freak out until Flare Tiger kiss back. Once the kiss's over, Twilight Sparkle is left shocked and curious. Twilight Sparkle asked, "You don't mind?" Flare Tiger smiled as she said, "Ah'm Bi like ya, Ah did told mah mate and he's griningd like goofy and told me that's he don't care as long Ah'm okay or happy with it, then he's okay with it." They're baffled as Pinkie Pie asked, "So... You can rise and lower the Sun?" Flare Tiger chuckled, "Eeyup, and the Moon and the stars." They nodded and talked about future plans until the time about come up. Flare Tiger lower the sun then rise the moon and the stars up. Twilight looks at the five missing foals, sighing a bit. There's one thing she wants to do....nor, she MUST do. "Listen, Robin, kids..." Twilight said as she came on over. "I'm sorry...I should've told ponies about where your remains were...or what happened...but I didn't know what happened to your bodies and..." Robin and the foals surprised Twilight by hugging her. Once they're done, the colt who used to possess Freddy said, "Awww, that's okay! We forgive you." "Right, it's Rough House who shouldn't be forgiven." The filly who possessed Chica remarks with a shrug. "He's a jerk." "Aye," The colt whom possessed Foxy remarked with a grunt. "I'm wondering if your friends would forgive us." "Oh, I'm sure they would." Twilight remarks with a light chuckle. "Some may have bitter feelings, but you get the idea." "Say, Aunt Luna said how she and mom are attracted to you." Robin said with a thoughtful look, making Twilight blush. "Does this mean you will be my new daddy and uncle?" "I'm not ready to settle down, Robin...but when I make my choice, I will let you know." "Weird." The colt who possessed Bonnie said puzzled. He hasn't heard of such a thing. Twilight nods as she trots off with a determined look. There is one other thing she must do as well... ----------- The dungeon is scary, compared to what Freddy's used to be where the lowest of the prisoners are held for their crimes against Equestria and everywhere else. Twilight was led by a guard to a certain cell. The Royal Guard opens the door, grunting, "Be careful." Twilight nods as she came into the cell and looks at the prisoner. There he is, a familiar scarred purple unicorn stallion whose was chained up and wearing a collar to keep his magic in check. Rough House, the same murderer who took the five foals' lives in the first place. "Well, well. I was wondering when I'll get some visitors." Rough House remarks with a sinister sneer to the glaring Twilight, "The new princess." "Rough House...I know what you did, I was there when you killed those five foals." Twilight said sternly to the killer. "Oh, so you admit it? I thought there was some pony watching. Ha ha ha! What a joke that the new princess would..." "Stuff it, Rough House. You separated the foals from their families, traumatized the princess you saw before you, and allow a monster whom you killed years ago to almost wipe out all of Equestria. As such, that makes you indirectly responsible for everything that happened since your murder of Charles Le Damien outside of Fredbear's Family Diner." "At least that makes be a celebrity around here." Rough House remarks with a cruel grin at the princess's chagrin, "So what? Want to kill me in revelation?" "No. The five foals are back to life. And killing you won't make things better." Twilight said to Rough House with a devilish grin. "In fact, I talked with Princess Celestia and she decided to have your sentence changed...to community service. And oh, I think I know the perfect place for you." Rough House's eyes widen in horror as she move aside. The mare reveals four certain Animatronics coming in with Chica holding a familiar yellow suit with no wires and such inside. "We got rules at Freddy Fazbear's. You got to be in uniform." Bonnie said to Rough House goofy. No soul inside him anymore but he is funny as ever. "Arr, arr, come on, in the outfit, or ye be walking the plank!" Foxy demands, laughing madly at Golden House. "No, no, NOOOOOO!" Rough House screams as Freddy grabs him, preparing to tossed him into the suit. And during this time, Princess Twilight Sparkle watches on, with a devilish look on her face. Revenge is so sweet. ---------------------------- A few days later has passed. The events involving Freddy Fazbear's Pizza has passed. The place has been fixed up and extended with new funding, now having another reopening. The ponies have been invited to come there for fun. Even Aurora Star and her family has been invited back, being assured that the place is better than it was under bad management and evil possession. As the family enters there, they're greeted by Shadow Freddy. A few look scared but he says, "Hello folks. Welcome to the Freddy's Pizza restaurant; my name is Shadow Freddy; don't let my looks scare you..........I am very kind and protective to all good boys and girls and grownups......................but you best behave and follow the rules or I will have to put you in time out............" They are puzzled but smiles even Aurora Star lightly smiles. The family all enters and notice, seeing the Animatronics but notice that the strange smell was gone and they were clean and shining. Some see Foxy who was fully covered with no Exposed endoskeleton and jaw was fixed. As he goes into his place, Aurora was lightly spooked but she notices Shadow Freddy beside them. Shadow Freddy says, "Do not worry about a thing, fillies and colts, everything is safe here and you must be little Aurora Star................well little filly we all have a big Surprise for you so take your seats and enjoy but be sure to follow the rules." The family sat down at a table. The band begins to performs as Freddy spoke, "Hey, folks! Welcome to the new and improved Freddy Fazbear's Pizza! We have been improving since what happened not too long ago." "We like to different a new player of our band." Chica said happily. "Please welcome to our newest band member..." "Golden Freddy," Bonnie exclaims with a happy laugh. The foals and everypony else cheers as Golden Freddy is revealed, playing the drums. Unknown to most of them, it's actually Rough House in the outfit, being chained down and being forced to play. As the audience cheers, the criminal groans as he plays the drums for the band whose performs for the audience. Twilight, her friends, Celestia, Robin, and those involved in the incidents watch on. The princess smirks happily. Rough House is serving his sentence very well. "Are you all doing better?" A red stallion asks as he came over to the table. He is wearing a hat and coat, along with a security badge, having a cutie mark that has a security green badge on it. The stallion has a short black mane and tail and brown eyes. "Yes, yes we are." Twilight said with a smile. "You must be new around here." "Yes, madam. My name is Mike Schmidt, I just been hired on as the new security guard." "Well, good thing you weren't here during the times." Spike remarks with a chuckle to Twilight. The mare frowns at that. "What?" "Yeah, well, I better get to work, have fun." Mike said as he heads off to resume his work. Twilight chuckled, shaking her head. It's ironic he wasn't here for the night shift Tartarus. After a while the stage performance is over..............but this time they're not buggy and glitch at all. Before they were ready to leave, Freddy says as they notice Foxy and Shadow Freddy coming on stage, "Before you leave folks, we got one last thing to show...........and it is for Aurora star.................do you know where she is?" Aurora Star is surprised but raises her hoof in the air as she spoke, "Here I am." Freddy sees her and smiles. "Well Aurora, come on to the stage." Freddy requests. She hesitated but notices Golden Heart and Pinkamena as they give a nod. The filly smiles and gets on stage as Freddy says, "We're sorry about what happened when you came here.............when that happen, it hurt us much more than you...............we are meant to care for fillies and colts not hurt them............." Foxxy nods as he said in regret, "It be true young one...................after what happened, I am not we bit surprised you be wanting me to walk the plank..............." Aurora sniffles lightly and says, "Don't be sad Foxy. I should've listen to the worker..........it was really my fault for getting too close..............I knew you and your friends would never really hurt filly's or colts and I forgive you." That makes them brighten up as Foxy smiles greatly. A hatch was opening as a big present was seen. Freddy says, "Well to show how much you and all of you are important to all of us and to you, we have a surprise for you all and you Aurora Star." Aurora Star notices it and looks at it as it shakes. "There's something in there." "Well to open this present, everybody has to say it's Party Time; Ready folks? 'It's Party Time'." Freddy said. The box shakes but stops, "Seems we have to cheer louder; Ready folks; 'It's Party Time'." It shakes more but stops again as Freddy says, "Ok, everyone, let's all cheer very loud so we can open this box ready." Freddy then says along with everyone, "'It's Party Time'!" The box's top burst open as lots of sparkles come out and a Pony leaps in the air and spins. It lands and slowly stands on all fours and the crowd stares at it. it was an Animatronic Pony (but the others know who it is). Aurora Star moves closer as it twitches and it's eyes glow blue and it jumps, coming to life making her back up in a surprise landing in a sitting Stance. Animatronic Pinkamena says, "Hello all you boys and girls and folks! I'm Animatronic Pinkamena! You all ready to have fun because I AM! What's your name little filly?" She is lightly surprised but Aurora Star giggles, "Um Aurora Star." "Hellos um Aurora Star," Animatronic Pinkamena jokes a bit. That makes some giggle at how silly that was as Aurora giggles as the robot hops a bit. "I know your name is Aurora Star! Just playing with you silly filly..............hey, how about we sing a song? In fact you all can join this song, ready?" Everyone begins singing "Giggle at the Ghosties". Even Pinkie is all smiles, singing as well as the band performs while Foxy and Animatronic Pinkamena fires out cannons. It was a fun time tonight, the madness that took over the restaurant is now gone! After it's over, Aurora was laughing greatly as she hugs the Animatronic Pony and the others, "Tank you...............this was the best day ever." She heads to her parents as she says, "Mommy, daddy, I hope this place stays forever..........I want to come here every day..............." The parents think but look at the stage seeing the happy foals playing games with the Animatronics. They were worried but after seeing Golden Heart, Pinkamena and the others giving a nod, they smile and nod to her as she smiles brightly. "Thank you mom and dad," Aurora Star said happily. For the first time in years since the Incident Bite, this mare is happy. ----------------------- After the party is over, it's time for everypony to head on home. Celestia said her final goodbyes to Azure who is preparing to finally going back home after being absent. "Thank you for coming and assist us in some situation. We're honored." Celestia said to her former husband calmly. Azure nods, speaking, "As do I, my friend. I hope you can take an ease and rest from the sufferings." "Don't worry, I'll be fine. Thank you for the concern of me, my friend." Azure nodded his head as he turned and led his team to the train. Bullhound was speaking to Rhino, who has been released from the hospital, "How's the wound, buddy?" Rhino grunted, "Fine... At least, those doctors and nurses don't try to nag me about my injuries. I hate that...A lot. Now, I can go back to the battlefield." "I'm surprised that you're not mad at Celestia's secret 'crush'." Anger comments to Azure, amused upon remember whom Celestia now has a crush on. Azure sighed in annoyance, "Don't start with that. I have had enough of the problems." Schemetrick nodded, commenting, "At least, Celestia doesn't need to marry with a bandit or a pirate. I hate to see your temper." Azure chuckled, "Perhaps..." As Twilight's friends headed off, Twilight stopped as she felt the wind blowing her mane. She turned and looked at the shadowy figure. "You..." Twilight said, recognizing the figure wearing a cloak, whom she hasn't been seen in a while. Shadow Dragon nods, speaking, "It's been a while, Princess. So, how's your job from Freddy's Place? Did you take care of your fear?" Twilight sighed, "Yeah, I did. And you have seen it, didn't you?" "Yeah, I did. I was reluctant to let you do it. But in truth, fear will continue to consume till the end of your life if you do not face it." "And you decide to let me do it, didn't you? You've been watching me since the first night. You've set some kind of tricks in delaying animatronics in getting me and my friends?" Shadow Dragon chuckles as he explains, "Yes. I did inform the last security guy to make some information for you to be prepared for them. You did well to follow them. And trust me, I know what it feels to be traumatized by death." "Your wife..." Twilight said. She knew whom Shadow Dragon is talking about: his former friend, Iris Crystal who is now dead. "Now that you free them, you're free from trauma for good." "So, where will you be going?" "Hunting the Dark Mystic Ponies and Marionette. I'm no longer a Dark Mystic or Mystic Pony anymore. I'm going to hunt every last of Dark Mystic Ponies. They either surrender or died. I will make sure the war ends sooner or later." Shadow Dragon said sternly. The Dark Mystic Ponies and the Marionette was responsible for almost cleansing Equestria in their own sinister way. They must be punished. "Will I see you again?" Twilight ask Shadow Dragon softly and hopefully. "That depends on how long. But maybe I will, my friend." Twilight smiled as she kissed on Shadow Dragon's lips for the moment. She then departed, making the former Dark Mystic Pony/Mystic Pony blinks a bit. Shadow Dragon sighed in annoyance, "If you keep on like this, you'll be in big trouble, Twilight. And you really need to choose someone you really love." Twilight shrugged while commenting Can't help it. Besides, I was kinda born in this way." Shadow Dragon sighed, "Fine. But... it does feel good to have a good kiss. You better get going. Nyx is worry about you. And she really needs you too." Twilight nodded as she said, "Yeah. See you soon, Shadow Dragon." Shadow Dragon is right. She hasn't seen her daughter in a while and Nyx might want to know why. This story will be a long one to explain to her own foal. Shadow Dragon nodded as he said, "We will meet again." Shadow Dragon disappeared in darkness while Twilight turned and headed off in meeting up with Nyx. Elsewhere in Another Universe "Okay, Freddy's now reopened." A human remark with a grunt as he put up the last of the Animatronics in place; Foxy the Pirate Fox though being hidden behind a curtain. "The last closing was Hell but at least we managed to get a fourth reopening." "I know, I know, because the incidents in the 70s, 80s and recently? We're damn lucky to rebuilt the old robots." The worker remarks. His colleague opens another box and is surprised. "Hey, never thought to see this again." The first worker said as he took out a familiar Puppet. "Weird, this thing was missing since the 80s when the updated robots and that freaky Balloon Boy was scrapped." "Well, keep it in another place. The boss may want to see what to do with it later." The first human worker nods as he put the Marionette onto a box and left with his colleague. Unknown to either one of them, the Marionette's eyes flash open. Evil laughter is heard... The End?
