//------------------------------// // Prologue // Story: Five Nights at AJ's 2 // by Danny Eclipse //------------------------------// 1 Week later… I was approaching the closed Funhouse, I was going to open it in a few weeks from now. However, my friends have been wondering what the building was for and I kept telling them it was my secret. I kept the a barrier around the building to prevent anyone from looking inside or getting inside. The animatronics can see them but the ponies could not see them. The barriered only allowed the building to be seen and nothing else. Charming asked “Why are you keeping this a secret from us?” “Why ruin the fun of a surprise. Oh, and none of your spells will work on this barrier. I’ve noticed those spells you, Twilight, and the Princesses have been casting. That Barrier is ancient forgotten magic, design to keep anything from within a secret. The Build is visible but not whatever is inside. Only my magic can allow me access and you can pass unless I made your magic signature into the defense barrier system. Until I am ready, that barrier will remain up.” I passed through the barrier while Charming slammed into the barrier, which formed an invisible wall that prevents Charming from getting inside. I smirked and went inside the building. When I closed the door, I walked into the Dining Room and see some of the animatronics were talking or doing something. I was greeted by the Animatronic of Rainbow Dash. She smiled at my appearance and we shook hooves before we sat down at the Stage. “So, when will we perform?” Rainbow asked. “A few weeks from now. Now, I wanted to talk to you guys about how you guys died…” Rainbow’s reaction was sad and angry. I expected this, of course, who wouldn’t be angry and sad to only be asked on how they were murdered? Rainbow explained “Well, it all started back at 1987…We were mares at the time, coming to Pinkie Pie’s Party Palace.” “Pinkie Pie’s Party Palace?” I asked in curiosity. Rainbow explained “Oh yes, you see. There was this old place that closed down. So, a new manager, who bought the original cast; our animatronic bodies, started a new business. But there was a screw loose and the animatronics were taken to the Parts and Service Room and dismantled. They became what the staff called; “The Withereds”. Then, they built some more animatronics. They became the Toys, or Toy Animatronics. There was Vinyl Scratch, Octavia, Trixie, Discord, Chrysalis, Spike, and the CMC. The Chrysalis Animatronic was controlled by our killer’s first victim. Chrysalis gave life into the animatronics, both withered and toys. While they weren’t possessed like us or Chrysalis, they had emotions and everything. Anyways, they seemed to like the Night Guard that worked before something happened. We can’t remember who was the night guard but however he/she was, Trixie and Octavia really liked.” “Can you give me a description of your killer?” Rainbow answered “Well, our killer was a female mare. All I remember was that she had a Pink Coat and her CM was a purple and white star with two blue glimmering streams or somewhere around there.” I nodded and ended the recording that I had in secret. Now that I have a led on the appearance on the murderer, I can track down the killer. I thank Rainbow and left to go get my book, which I left in my Manager Office. I took it and returned to the Dining Room. I put the setting on it and activated the book. Both me and the book began to glow and I blacked out. I blinked and found myself in a house. I was still a pony, thankful for that. I had my guitar that Ember gave me. It looked a lot like hers’ but it was Black and White instead. Besides that, it was a completely exact design. It also gave me the ability to play normal music and use my ghost powers to fire music ghost Rays, it was the switch. I loved to play the Guitar a lot and it was enchanted to returned to me by my will, it could even fly on its own but I don’t use it to fly on. I noticed a bike in front of me, it was black and it had some white streaks on it. It was called a “Hexer”. I sort of liked it but not entirely. I got on it and I was surprised when I was able to pilot it. I put the guitar on my back and I began to head off, heading to Pinkie Pie’s Party Palace. A few minutes later… I arrived to the place and parked my motorcycle and got off. I used my power to put my Guitar to my hidden pocket dimension. I walked inside and see a human typing on the computer. “Excuse me, sir. But where can I sign up to becoming a Night Guard?” I see the guy looking up at me and he began to study me before he burst into laughter. That made me growl in anger. “What’s so funny?” The man replies “Sorry little horse, but you can’t sign up for the Night Guard. You need to be a human to do so.” I growled and made an angry expression. I began to look into my pocket dimension and see my Guitar, some other stuff, but I see that I have a Z-6 Rotary Blaster Cannon. When I noticed it, I grin with an evil expression on my face. I summoned it into my hooves and I aimed it at the man. He stopped laughing when he saw it appeared and noticed my dark and evil expression. He had a worry expression. He didn’t know what type of gun I had but it was definitely related to a chain gun. “You were saying?” The Man said “How do I know that it is fa-“ To prove my point, I aimed the gun at a nearby wall and fired a few shots. The shots were real that it left some bullet holes. The man instantly knew that it was real and not a fake gun. I turned to him and he gave me a panel. I smiled and put the chain gun away and signed the paper to becoming a Night Guard. I used some magic to prevent him from destroying the contract. When I finished, I gave him the paper and he shook with me. “Pleasure to meet you Mr. Eclipse. My name is Fred, I’m manager here. Sorry for the Racism there, I’m not a big fan to Ponies.” “It’s ok. Good to meet you.” I went inside and began to look around my surroundings. 12:00 AM I walked into my opened and door-less office. That was when I heard the Phone Ringing. I was confused by who would call me. My answer was given when a voice message played and it was the same Phone Guy’s voice. Phone Guy said “Hello? Hello, hello? Um, well, if you are hearing this, then chances are you made a very poor career choice.” To be Continue…
