"So, he wants to catch that golden twin brat of his?" the shadowy Freddy Fazbear like pony asked the pale white mare next to him.
"Yep. But there`s two of them. We need to go after one that apparently looks like him, just less damaged" she responded lightly.
"So, what about that Golden bear then?".
"We wait til he says to go. For now our only orders are to catch the other one".
"Alright. Should we split up or..." he turned to the mare.
"I think so, yeah. It`d increase our chances of finding him at least" she smiled a bit, her purple cheeks flashing red for a moment.
The shadow didn`t notice, instead leaping to the end of the hall they stood in.
"Alright, i`ll take the stage area, you get the shops" he shot a competitive smile at the mare.
"Okay. Just remember, the brat has a spirit chain on Springtrap, meaning he can`t get very far from him" she pitched in, before jumping to the spot beside the shadow.
"Good, only makes it easier".
"Hmph" they galloped out of the hallway, heading in different directions.
The shadow found it easy to simply turn almost invisible, a small outline of his limbs and back the only thing see-able by normal ponies.
The mare just slipped through the crowds of ponies, easily moving through the crowd.
Her eyes danced along the crowds of ponies, as they landed on each one before moving on.
"Ack! S-stay away!" a rather scared voice carried off through the concert, though it was drowned out by the many ponies there.
A golden green stallion was dashing around a white mare, whom had bitten him several times.
"Get back here, brat!" she spat as she lunged at him, nipping his ear before he could get away.
"Heck no! Your trying to kill me!" the stallion growled hastily, as he ducked under her as she tried to catch him with a hoof.
"I`m not gonna kill ya! I need to get you back to Springtrap!" she jumped back as he attempted to buck at her.
"Springtrap? Who ever that is, i`m still not going!" he twisted his head to evade a swipe from the mare.
"Would it help if I said you don`t have a choice?" she stopped shortly, awaiting an answer.
"No" the stallion retorted, "how stupid are you to even think that?".
The mare sighed, "You asked for it then".
She dashed around him, as he attempted to block an attack from her.
"Mangle, what`s gotten into you!?" he jumped backwards through the air, landing on all fours.
"Nothing`s gotten into me!" she retaliated.
"You were never like this! And even your looks are different!" he tried to reason with her. It was true, she no longer had the doll-like rosy cheeks.
They were a shadowy purple, and both of her eyes contained the black with white pupil feature.
There were other differences too, mostly everything pink being shadowed.
"So? I`m alive again, that`s all that matters" she backed away from the stallion.
He was utterly confused.
"Wait, what do you mean, again?". Mangle`s bow she wore flashed pink for a second, before becoming purple again.
"Look, Springy, you don`t understand" she shook her head before staring at him, an evil smile on her face, "that I can be most deceiving...".
Two hooves suddenly wrapped around 'Springy`s' Neck, hefting him to his hooves.
The legs were invisible... Until they shimmered into dark shadowy purple hooves, like the color of Mangle`s bow.
"L-let me go!" Springy cried out.
"Nope, your coming with us" a male shadow voice came from behind Bon Bon, as he was being choked by the stallion.
"Hey!" a lighter, more cunning voice broke the act in place.
At the end of the hall, a golden stallion bearing a top hat glared at Mangle and the shadow.
"Let him go" Goldy growled as he slowly trotted towards the shadow.
"And what would you do?" the shadow smirked.
"Shadow Freddy, this is the other one we need" Mangle pointed to Goldy with her muzzle.
"Hah! We can just get both of them now!" 'Shadow' laughed.
Mangle nodded.
"Get `em, Mangle!" Shadow smirked, as he made sure to keep a hoof down so Bon Bon couldn`t flee.
Goldy stayed still as he awaited Mangle to attack. His back was still wounded, which had caused his front right leg to lose feeling again and again.
Mangle lunged at him, in which he side stepped, before managed to buck her back left leg.
She spun around and swung to attack him, catching his left ear before twisted her back to turn around. Goldy bit down on her one air-born paw, as she yelped in pain.
"C`mon Mangle, Springtrap was able to get him!" Shadow growled. Mangle wasn`t exactly winning much. She`d manage to cut half of Goldy`s right ear off, and get him a few more bloody scratches, but all in all, he was winning in the fight.
Mangle jumped backwards, twisting a hoof as she landed on the ground.
She yelped in pain, getting up slowly.
He`d already almost broke her front left leg, even in the small amount of time spent fighting.
Goldy was walking closer.
Mangle`s pupils shrunk as far as they could, as she quickly limped away from him. Shadow grunted, as he placed a small spell chain on Springy.
The golden stallion attempted to get away as Shadow left, to find a slightly visible purple chain connected to his front right hoof.
"I`m going to have to beat you myself then" Shadow sighed.
Goldy laughed to himself.
"I don`t think so".
Shadow became what would have been invisible. Goldy closed his eyes, before opening them and glancing around. A whir of air brushed against his back left leg, in which he quickly brought up.
He kicked Shadow, whom fell back.
The bare outline was hardly visible, but Goldy used it as best he could. Shadow lunged at him, in which sucked, getting hit in the back by Shadow`s back hooves.
Goldy bucked in the direction of where he would have landed. His hooves hit nothing, raising a bit of concern.
Shadow bucked Goldy`s jaw, and the golden stallion fell back near Springy, barely landing on his hooves.
He could see Shadow lunging at him, and so he pretended to look away.
That is until he twisted around a buck the outline of Shadow in the face.
The dark stallion lost his grip on the shadow magic as he fell back onto the ground.
The stallion slowly got up, gasping for air.
"I said... Stay back" Goldy spat as he side stepped near Springy. The golden green stallion did nothing.
"Dear Luna, how`d Springtrap kill you?!" Shadow retorted once he was standing up, as he wiped off his now bloody nose.
Mangle stepped towards Springy.
"Hey, do you WANT to die?!" Goldy growled.
"Hand him over, and you`ll live" Mangle stated firmly.
"You really think your in a position to threat me?" Goldy laughed. Shadow stepped forward too.
Mangle made a run for Springy, but Goldy quickly side-stepped once more, in front of the downed pony.
He arched his back, glaring daringly at both of the now halted attackers.
Mangle sighed.
"You win for now, "she glanced at Shadow, "but we`ll be back". The two nodded and galloped off, leaving Goldy with the golden green stallion beside him.
"Get up" was all Goldy said. the stallion did as told, jumping to his feet.
"W-What`s going on?!" Springy cried. Goldy snorted.
"Your not Springtrap...?".
"God, who the heck is that? What do I look like him or something?".
"Yeah. You could it put it like that. Who were they" Goldy demanded.
"Shadow, and... Mangle. She`s not acting normal!" Springy growled.
"You mean the shadowy pieces of her?" Goldy guessed.
"Not only that. She said she`s alive- again".
The two looked down.
"How did you come back though? Were you another child? But that`s impossible..." Goldy tilted his head at Springy.
"I was never alive, if that helps. That`s why i`m so confused. Your not acting right either" Springy sniffed.
"What`s that supposed to mean?" Goldy stepped back. What was presumed to be Spring Bonnie, stood at about a half foot shorter than Goldy.
"Well, it`s everything. You didn`t recognize me, you`ve never had those evil looking eyes... No offense, but your just... Not you, Fredbear" Springy looked up at Goldy, whom nodded. He understood what Springy meant now.
"That`s because i`m not Fredbear", he thought of how to explain it- and went with just saying it," I was called Goldy, and I was killed. Me and my brother. We possessed the two Freddy suits, mine being Fredbear".
Now it was time for Springy to be confused.
"Wait wait wait", he put up a hoof," you died? But you came back?!".
"At night, yes. We roamed the halls for five years, before String Play... Brought us back to literal life".
"So, who`s this String Play?" Springy got to his hooves.
"Some pony you DON`T want to meet" Goldy sighed, before trotting to the edge of the hallway. He turned around slightly as he awaited Springy to follow him.
Springy trotted towards him, as Goldy turned and began to walk away.
"We should take you back to the 'camp', as I call it" he stated. Springy nodded.
"Who`s there?" he asked in curiosity.
"There`s Bonnie, Freddy, Chica, and Foxy. Along with Vincent..." Goldy said in a hushed whisper.
"... And who`s Vincent?" Springy asked.
"Well to put it one way, he died in your spring lock suit".
".....Oh".
