//------------------------------// // Night 1 // Story: Five Nights at Freddy's: All for Once, Once for All // by AmpUpHeart //------------------------------// "There's only one other pony I can think of off the bat," Tripwire said to Infra, "Remember when I told you about Ditzy Doo?" "I believe so," Infra said, "You think that she may be having the nightmares?" Trip nodded. "Do you think you could find her? Since you're a pegasus, you'll be more able to reach her." Infra understood. Spark wouldn't be able to catch her if she was flying. ..................... A few minutes later, Infra was cruising around in the sky. 'She's got to be around here somewhere,' she thought. She then saw her sleeping on a cloud. Infra was contemplating on whether to wake her up, until she heard Ditzy making strange noises in her sleep. .......................... She was back in that room. She saw those hospital supplies again. 'Why do I keep coming here?' She wondered. She suddenly heard breathing by the right door. She peeked out to see the face of a horrific robotic chicken. She gasped and slammed the door. "They're back," she said aloud, "But why?" .................... Infra heard Ditzy talking in her sleep. She spoke into a hidden earpiece. "Trip, I think that you were right. She's asleep and saying something about 'them being back.'" Tripwire heard her. He turned to Luna and nodded. Luna's horn lit up, and she focused. Her horn grew brighter and brighter, and sweat began to trickle down her face, but nothing happened. "I can't enter her dreams," she said when she finally tired herself. "Keep watching her, Infra," Spark said, "And when she wakes, take her to the lab. Something tells me that these aren't ordinary dreams." ........................ Ditzy shined a flashlight on the bed, causing the demonic Freddy toys to scatter from the bed. 'Strange,' she thought, 'Why do they seem so on the move?' She didn't notice Foxy come out, but she didn't flinch when he lunged at her. In the dream, her last thought was: 'Why am I still not afraid?' .............................. Serendipity followed Tesla through the lab until they saw a midnight blue alicorn robot with copper hair and a silver alicorn robot with golden hair. "Sera," Tesla said, "I would like you to meet Circuit Fray and Glitch." Fray walked up at a normal pace, but Serendipity ran up to Glitch in awe. "You're a filly robot?" "I have the physical appearance of one," Glitch answered, "But I tend to think more on a mature level." "Oh. Do you think that you could play with me, though?" "Sure. I love playing tag. Does that sound good?" "I love tag!" The two fillies were then racing around the room, each laughing with delight, with Tesla and Fray watching, smiling. The game went on for ten minutes, until the fillies were laying on the ground, panting. "How do you get tired?" Serendipity asked Glitch. "I have a battery that is actually self-rechargeable. We all do," Glitch answered, "But we must enter a sleep like state to recharge at an efficient rate. We'll enter the state automatically if it drops too low, so to avoid it, Trip programmed us to feel physical exertion. If we feel our systems getting overworked, we'll know to stop and rest. It's not unlike a living pony recovering from a tiring activity, like right now." "Cool," Serendipity said. She thought for a minute, and said, "You know, it's really nice to be able to play tag with someone other than Prowess." "Who's Prowess?" Tesla asked. "Another filly orphan. She always bullies other fillies like me. I think that it has something to do with the fact that she's now a teenager and she still hasn't been adopted." "Oh," Fray said, "That must've been terrible." ................................ 'Test round successful Primary target acquired Fulfill CREATion's orders Attack'
