Five Nights at Phantom's

by Danny Eclipse


Day 7

I woke up on the bed and smirked. I took off the nerve gear and went to the frig and got a plasma juice. After I drank it, I turned intangible and walk up to the top. When I arrived, I see the paper and grabbed it.

School Play at 12:00 PM

I grinned and went back underneath. Enough time to make the preparations.


I finished making the preparations and I see it was 11:59 AM. I went to my nerve gear and put it on. When I opened my human animatronic’s eyes, I see the clock had just struck 12:00 PM. I grinned and went to the door. I entered the code and went out and closed the door quietly. I looked into the office and see no one inside.

‘Good. No security. Charming fell for the trick. But what is security?’

I walked down the office and see the show being played. No one could see me and I grinned. There was literally NO security but looks like Charming, Sunset, Twilight, and Nyx were on guard, looking around every now and then. I was invisible, a little ability the animatronics had. I began to walk to Cloud’s Cove, see all the animatronics there. I went to them, reactivate them, and they looked at me as I appeared.

“Act like you’re still offline. When the time comes, you may act. Just wait for my signal.” I said on the communication channel.

They nodded and went to shut down mode. I managed to unlock my Pony animatronic without trouble and made no sound. I turned invisible again and see that no one had noticed me. I leaned against the wall, watching the show.


Later…

The school play had ended, with the Sweetie Belle (playing as Charming Thunder) finishing off Diamond Tiara (playing as Queen Luna). When it finished, all the fillies and colts came to the stage and bowed while the audience clapped. Celestia came up to stage when the clapping ended.

That was a wonderful play, my little ponies." Celestia said to the school children. "You have shown something really important in history and now, if only my nephew was here-“

I began to clap. A slow, mockery clap. Everyone turned to the sound but see nothing until I disengage my invisibility. When they all see me, everyone gasped at the human animatronic me. Charming and his three other friends stood in my way.

Charming demanded “How are you active!? How are you here!? I thought you were an illusion!”

I smirked and snapped my fingers. At the same time, the speakers came active and began to play music. All the animatronics came active and walked off Cloud’s Cove. The EOI and Canterlot High animatronics appeared next to the Phantom’s Funhouse animatronics. And to top it all off, the golden twin along with A-Sunset and A-Twivine came up to me.

Song by the tune of Just Gold

Sung by Danny and all animatronics and spirits

TIME FOR THE MAIN ATTRACTION
THE STORY MUST BE TOLD
TIME FOR A CHAIN REACTION
IT NEVER GETS OLD
SOME BOTS GET SATISFACTION
BREAKING THE MOLD
SOME BOTS ARE JUST DISTRACTIONS
SOME BOTS ARE JUST GOLD

I chuckled and appeared on stage and all the fillies and colts ran off stage, screaming. Celestia backs off as I took the stage. When I spoke it was my normal voice, not mechanical. That shocked everyone.

I'm not the bad guy,
I'm just a bit surprising
It's not worth losing sleep
It's not worth analyzing
There was a time, not so long ago at all
I was just like you, can you hear my call?
Now I'm poppin' in over here, over there
I'll be checking in, but you'll never be aware
In the beginning I kept a keen eye
on the state of affairs with the new guy
Now I got a new gig (Let me know if you dig)
Ain't going home so I better go big
Just got to glance at cam 2B
Then you get a little surprise...
IT'S ME
You may say that I'm breaking your mind
In my opinion you're much to kind

Suddenly, I began to faintly glow and the Elements of Insanity were glowing as well.

TIME FOR THE MAIN ATTRACTION
THE STORY MUST BE TOLD
TIME FOR A CHAIN REACTION
IT NEVER GETS OLD
SOME BOTS GET SATISFACTION
BREAKING THE MOLD
SOME BOTS ARE JUST DISTRACTIONS
SOME BOTS ARE JUST GOLD

I began to look towards Charming and I smiled.

You did a good job
Watching those little screens
It warms my servos and circuits
To hear some fresh screams
But don't get me wrong
You were very brave
When faced with friendly singing ponies
You never caved

I snapped my fingers and the phone appeared in my right hand.

I'm finished training, done explaining
No more facts are left remaining

I threw the phone away, which teleported back to the security room.

Now you know the gist of it
You're a perfect fit
I don't wanna hear no more complaining
I'm passing down this golden opportunity
Eternal scrapyard immunity
Take it with pride
And enjoy the ride
You'll forever be part of this community
You may say that it's all in your mind
But in the end I think that you will find

The Elements of Insanity appeared around me as my spectral ghost appeared on stage. This caused everyone to gasp. Suddenly, the inverted rainbow hit all the Phantom’s Funhouse animatronics. The original cast’s Mane 6 ghosts left the animatronic bodies and joined my ghostly self on stage. Purple and Starlight’s ghostly selves left their animatronic selves and joined with me on stage. Applebloom, Chrysalis, and Peter (Who looked like a pony now) left their animatronic bodies and joined us on stage.

YOU ARE THE MAIN ATTRACTION
OUR STORY MUST BE TOLD
YOU ARE A CHAIN REACTION
THAT NEVER GETS OLD
SOME BOTS GET SATISFACTION
BREAKING THE MOLD
SOME BOTS ARE JUST DISTRACTIONS
SOME BOTS ARE JUST GOLD

YOU ARE THE MAIN ATTRACTION
YOUR STORY MUST BE TOLD
YOU ARE A CHAIN REACTION
THAT NEVER GETS OLD
SOME BOTS GET SATISFACTION
BREAKING THE MOLD
SOME BOTS ARE JUST DISTRACTIONS
SOME BOTS ARE JUST GOLD

When the song ended, we returned to our bodies and I bowed to the crowd. For some odd reason, they began to clap. When the clapping ended, I disconnected to the animatronic from my nerve gear. I teleported up to the stage and gave a bow to the audience.

“Thank you! Thank you all! I’m here to inform you that my ‘death’ has been nothing but a lie. In truth, I’ve been messing around with Charming at the night watch. Playing the role as the Puppet Master, Phone Guy, AND my pony/human animatronic! Rainbow was aware of my existence after Night 3, but she pledge not to tell my secret.”

Charming said in shock “Wait. You mean this whole time, everything that transpired at my night shifts, was you!?”

“Yes. This was supposed to be a near death experience prank. If I wanted to, I would have killed you on more than several different chances. Instead, I didn’t and I loved the scare ponies with my new friends. Now you know my secret, why these animatronics are ALIVE.”

My animatronic friends went to their counterparts and began to shake hooves.

“But Nightmarejack-“ Charming replied

“Was me in disguised. You know I can access nightmares. I thought it was oblivious. But I plan to expand my place by having more animatronics. I’ll create three places for Phantom’s Funhouse. This main building, the planned building to the left side connected to the main building for the Canterlot High animatronics. And there will be a Siren’s Cove. And on the right side of the building, I’ll have the EOI animatronics stationed. Rainbine and Derpigun will be at Cybernetic’s Enclave. I hope you will like future plans and please, respect the animatronics.”

Everyone began to leave since it was all over and me and the others stayed to talk.
