//------------------------------// // Night 2 // Story: Five Nights at Phantom's // by Danny Eclipse //------------------------------// I took off the nerve gear and began to drink some plasma juice. I had a lot on my mind, considering that Charming is, no doubt, going to destroy Phantom’s Funhouse sometime soon. So, I need a plan to prevent him. But that can come later. I needed to be ready for the next time we cross. I was relaxing when something snapped in my head. I was sensing Charming sleeping and I smirked. I disappeared in a flash, preparing to walk into Charming’s dream to turn into a nightmare… Static echoed and Charming found himself in a black void. He was looking around, wondering where he was at. "Welcome, My little ponies...I'll be your entertainment for today since everypony is busy at the moment..." A dark cold male voice said. Charming around and see that the background began to change from black void to a place he had never seen before. He see the Mane 6 along with Applebloom at the table. It looked like a birthday was being celebrated. Then, he caught sight of purple pony. He was wearing a golden Applejack suit and he was taking the others to a room. When they arrived, the doors closed and Charming could get in. Suddenly, there was screaming inside and all sorts of sounds. After a few minutes, the screaming died down and a female pony, Starlight Glimmer, came out and lured Applebloom into the back room and the doors shut close. Charming tried to break through but failed and there was the sound of more screaming. When the screaming died down, the place began to turn back into a void but before he could wake up, there was two words written in blood. IT'S ME! I reappeared in my room. No doubt Charming woke up with a scream. Now I gave him a little clue what was the backstory of the animatronics but I need more than that. I shrugged it off and began to go to sleep. I set the clock to wake me up at 6:00 PM, more than normal sleep for me. The alarm clock began to go off and I woke up. I stretch and did some flying and walking around, keeping my body nice and refresh. I returned from taking a shower and put the nerve gear on and began made my presence lay undetected. 9:00 PM Charming came into the place with Sunset and Twilight. They closed the place down and Sunset stared at me. I resumed control of the animatronic since it was closing time. Sunset said with impress “I have to admit. When Danny told us he owned a place called ‘Phantom’s Funhouse’, I never exactly believed him. Now, here is the proof.” “He was right about that but I have the feeling there is something amiss to these animatronics.” Charming said with some suspicious. Twilight was observing the cast on the stage, Charming went to the arcade and when Sunset got closer, my eyes looked at her. Sunset, noticing my eyes glaring right at her, screaming in shock and I made my eyes go back to normal. Twilight and Charming came to Sunset, who was on the ground shaking. Twilight asked “Sunset, what happened!?” Sunset said with nervousness “That…machine looked right at me!” Twilight and Charming looked at me but I held my position. “Oh Sunset, you were just imagining it.” Twilight said, trying to reassure Sunset. Charming answered with a cold tone “Actually Twilight… They do move at night.” Twilight looked at Charming with disbelief. Twilight asked “Are…are you sure?” Charming replied “Yes. They are left in free roaming mode at night but why this animatronic Danny looked at Sunset was against its programming or protocol, but I’m not entirely sure.” Charming looked at me again and Sunset got up. The three left to go into the office and I looked towards their way and grinned. “Tonight is going to be a fun night…” I returned into position. 12:00 AM I began to make the phone ring and then I activated the recorded message speaker. “Hello? Hello, hello? Uh, hey, welcome to Night 2! I would have thought you would have leaved here for good, because some would do that. So, if you are still here, congrats! Uh, you better watch the cameras while I am talking. I found out that the animatronics move around during that beginning of the night.” I could hear the tablet going up, no doubt from Charming. “Uh, have you ever been at Cloud’s Cove? The two animatronics there, Rainbow and Danny, are actually a unique pair. Believe it or not, they spend a lot of time together like their originals. Though it is unclear if they had done any…interaction with each other. I mean, when I found the animatronics, I knew almost nothing of them. So, I’m not sure how they act. However, I learned some things like on Sunday, they forget about the night guard and they go into what they call ‘Debauchery Sunday’. Well, the word itself tells you what they do around Sunday. Anyway, I’m getting off topic here. So, I need you to check them every now and then. The reward of that is that they won’t attack you instantly as long as you keep an eye on them. Anyway, what else. Oh yes! You probably noticed the music box that wasn’t on yesterday. Well, for some odd reason, the animatronic Chrysalis isn’t normally active on Mondays so it was your lucky day, I guess. Anyway, better keep that music box wound up or she will come after you. Also, you probably noticed the singing from the first night. Yeah, I found out the animatronics sing at night, but these songs are more based on night time. Each night is a different song so it is never always the same. So, uh, I guess that is it. Oh, and one more thing. As the week goes on, the animatronics tend to be more active so you can expect more and more of them to come after you. Anyway, good luck for Night 2 and keep on coming back. Alright, good night.” I turned the phone and check the time. It was currently 3:00 AM and I knew it was time. I signaled the others and the song began to play. Sung to the tune of Five Nights at Freddy's Sung mainly by Animatronics, Danny, and Charming We're waiting every night to finally roam and invite newcomers to play with us for many years we've been all alone We're forced to be still and play The same songs we've known since that day An imposter took our life away Now we're stuck here to decay Sunset (on the right) and Twilight (on the left) flashed their door lights and they see the animatronics. A-Twilight was on Twilight’s side. A-Fluttershy was on Sunset’s side and they shut their doors. Please let us get in! don't lock us away! We're not like what you're thinking We're poor little souls who have lost all control and we're forced here to take that role We've been all alone Stuck in our little zone Since 1987 Join us, be our friend or just be stuck and defend after all you only got Five Nights at Phantom's Is this where you want to be I just don't get it Why do you want to stay Five Nights at Phantom's Is this where you want to be I just don't get it Why do you want to stay Five Nights at Phantom’s The two animatronics left and they opened the doors. Charming was flipping through the cameras and when he looked at Cloud’s Cove, he sees me, Animatronic Charming, and Animatronic Rainbow staring right at the Camera. We're really quite surprised We get to see you another night You should have looked for another job you should have said to this place good-bye It's like there's so much more Maybe you've been in this place before We remember a face like yours You seem acquainted with those doors Sunset shined her light and sees A-Rarity right there in front of the door. She shuts and A-Rarity was banging against the door. Animatronics Applejack and Fluttershy were advancing there. Please let us get in! don't lock us away! We're not like what you're thinking We're poor little souls who have lost all control and we're forced here to take that role We've been all alone Stuck in our little zone Since 1987 Animatronics Twilight, Charming, and Rainbow began to advance down the left hallway, causing Twilight to close the door. Join us, be our friend or just be stuck and defend after all you only got Five Nights at Phantom's Is this where you want to be I just don't get it Why do you want to stay Five Nights at Phantom's Is this where you want to be I just don't get it Why do you want to stay Five Nights at Phantom’s The power in the room had come to an end. Sunset and Twilight went to cuddle with Charming, who all three went to the back of the room. The left door opened; nothing there. Then, the right door opened and they see three pairs of glowing eyes staring right at them. Then, they looked to the left and see three more glowing pair of eyes. Suddenly, me and A-Charming appeared in front of them, our eyes glowing right at them. We screeched but halted halfway when we heard the bell go off. The animatronics stood stiff and then walked away. I halted at the left door and turned to look at them, a smirk on my face. “This victory shall soon turn into despair.” I said with a cold chill tone in my robotic voice. I walked out, head back to my position, and disconnected.
