//------------------------------// // Night 4 // Story: Five Nights at AJ's 3 // by Danny Eclipse //------------------------------// 3:50 PM I woke up from another vision. I began to wonder why I was seeing these visions. Then, I began to think about Starlight. I got up and went to get some lunch and when I finished; I left the house and decided to go to the Library to see what ever happened to Starlight. 4:30 PM I was on the computer, looking through the Internet. However, I stopped when I found a file with Applejack’s Barn Employee: Starlight Glimmer. I opened the file and saw what I was looking for. Name: Starlight Glimmer Species: Unicorn Pony Gender: Female Night Security Guard (Former) Missing: 30 Years ago, shortly after the shutdown of Applejack’s Barn, people reported that her house was abandon. There has been no signs of her for 30 years now. Witness say she wasn’t dead, but no one know for sure. The only thing they say is that Starlight just simply vanished. Relatives: Unknown Status: Unknown Relationship: Vincent “Purple Guy” Waller (Boyfriend) So Purple was Starlight’s Boyfriend. I began to feel sad for her. When Discord killed Purple, I didn’t know it would hurt her. I began to wonder how sad she must have been. I began to think before smiling. Maybe, just maybe, I’ll be able to bring back Purple from the dead as a Spirit. But what animatronic could I use? The Sunset animatronic and Purple Applejack are haunted, that was for certain. Then, I had an idea and went back to my garage to do something about it. 7:00 PM I had come back to the garage and had an empty pony animatronic suit. It was a golden version of Fluttershy. She was completely golden with only a purple bow and hat and I smiled. “Alright. I’ve got the body, now for the spirit. I should lock up here, maybe he was arrive later on.” I began to lock the garage. However, when it was completely dark in the place, a pair of small pure white pupils appeared. A female voice said “He cares for Starlight…I think the next time I see him, I should tell him the truth about the animatronic Sunset…” The eyes disappeared into the darkness. 12:00 AM I was sitting on my chair, waiting for the next useless recording. Phone Guy said “Uh, hello? Hello, hello! Uh, there's been a slight change of company policy concerning use of the suits. Um, don't.” “What do you mean?” Phone Guy continued “After learning of an unfortunate incident at the sister location, involving multiple and simultaneous spring lock failures, the company has deemed the suits temporarily unfit for employees.” “Good, not like I was going to touch them anyway.” Phone Guy replied “Safety is our top priority at Applejack’s Barn, which is why the classic suits are being retired to an appropriate location, while being looked at by our technician. Until replacements arrive, you'll be expected to wear the temporary costumes provided to you.” “Oh goodie, not like I even need them. I’m not posing in front of the press.” Phone Guy stated “Keep in mind that they were found on very short notice, so questions about appropriateness/relevance should be deflected. I repeat, the classic suits are not to be touched, activated or worn.” “Gees, I’m not going to touch the blasted suits. I hate those things anyway.” Phone Guy said “That being said, we are free of liability, do as you wish. As always, remember to smile; you are the face of Applejack’s Barn.” “I’ll make sure to keep that in mind.” I began to continue my work. This time, I thought it would be safe to watch from the office. 3:30 AM Meanwhile outside my front office window… Sunset was leaning against the wall next to the window. She looked in and sees me. She smiles evilly and walks away a bit. Suddenly, Purple Applejack appeared in front of her and Sunset smiled evilly as did Purple Applejack. Sunset said “You know what to do.” “Just to recap on things. You want me to lure him towards the exit/entrance and I battle him. When I kill him, I help you escape from this place and so you can continue your life as a runaway animatronic?” PA reconfirmed. Sunset answered “That pretty much sums it up Purple Applejack. Any objections?” PA replied “None whatsoever, I’ve wanted to kill that stallion since 1987. He’s been nothing but trouble. Killing him will bring enough joy to me. I’ll be seeing you soon…Starlight.” “I told you already, call me Sunset! I died in my previous life, no need for you to call me that now.” Sunset stated. PA apologies “Sorry, I’ll never get used to the fact of your new life.” Sunset nodded in understanding and both of them separated from each other. 5:30 AM I was looking through the cameras until I came across the Fluttershy head camera. There, I see Purple Applejack staring right at it. I lowered it. “Oh, hell no!” I put the tablet on the desk and pulled out my M45D Tactical Shotgun then lock n’ loaded it. I stored it into my pocket dimension and went into the vents to confront her. Meanwhile at the Entrance/Exit… Purple Applejack glared at the camera, not noticing the lights in the room turning on. “Hey Purple Applejack.” PA looked behind her and see me standing there with an angry expression. “Slither on back to hell, coward.” Purple Applejack turned to face me and went into a fighting stance. PA shouted “No way! Come on tough guy, bring it!” FIGHT! Purple Applejack screeched and jumped at me. I grabbed both of her hooves, our faces at each other. PA asked “How you like me now, bulk head?” “Not fast enough. And not good enough.” I pushed Purple Applejack back. She landed on her flank and had one of her hooves to her face. I teleported behind her and grabbed her from both sides. She looked at me and I picked her up and threw her over my head. Purple Applejack groaned and got up and looked at me. I still had my back turned to her. “I’m way too powerful for you, you’re nothing compared to me.” Purple Applejack roared with rage and her eyes began to glow red. She jumped at me, performing a new screech. I acted quickly and summoned my shotgun and shot her face. She landed on the ground without a head. I heard something teleporting and I looked. I see a yellow present with red ribbon on it. I grabbed it, put it in my pocket dimension, and left the broken body of Purple Applejack. The lights turned off, the only light source was the glowing head of Fluttershy. There was metal hoof steps approaching and Sunset stopped in front of the body. Sunset said “Oh no…Who needs a stupid animatronic to do a pony’s job?” She left to plan her next move. Later, in the Dreamscape… I blinked and groaned. I was in another vision. This time, I see only Fluttershy coming online. She blinked and began to walk towards the next room. I followed because I had no actual choice in the matter. I followed her and we see Purple Applejack walking into the next room. We followed and we see the wreckage of Applejack, Pinkie, Twilight, and Rarity. Fluttershy looked horrified and looked down the hallway with an angry expression. Fluttershy attempted to go down but had an “Error” as well. Fluttershy began to back away. She was almost close to leaving until Starlight came out of nowhere and attacked Fluttershy. Using her axe, Starlight dismantled Fluttershy and when she finished, Starlight went back up her hallway. “Now only Rainbow remains…” The world began to fade away.
