//------------------------------// // Time for a chain reaction // Story: A Nightmarish arrival // by TheImperialBrony //------------------------------// Once Pinkie and the rest of them had gathered the Ponies into the Town hall, I had hidden behind the stage curtains to wait for Twilight's signal after she gave her little speech. In a way it was a party for me, due to Pinkie putting a banner and party decorations everywhere, it took the whole day till it slipped to the start of night. Twilight had stepped out to begin her speech as I watched her from the curtains nearby. The rest of the Mane six was with me. I turned to them as Twilight spoke. "To be honest, I am a bit nervous to go out there." I said fiddling with my fingers. "Oh don't worry, you'll be fine. Once you get talking you will be free of your nervousness." Rarity reassured me with a smile. "Yea! I mean, though you look like this doesn't mean you are." Pinkie said smiling as well. I smile the best I could at them. "Thanks guys." "Umm....you may don't want to smile like that....that's kinda creepy." Rainbow comments. "Alright." I reply ending the smile I made by putting my jaws together. I turn back around to watch Twilight finish her speech. "...Now I want you all to meet, Fredbear!" Twilight announced. She looked over to me and waved me over with a hoof. "Come on out." I started forward onto the stage. I could hear the stomping of hooves, but once I stepped out, it stopped as they took me in. Once I had reached the middle of the stage, with the mane six behind me, I looked over the crowd of ponies. Its funny, the most I could see was white due to how big their eyes got and how small their pupils got when they saw me. I raised my hand to wave. "Hello, everyone. I just want to point out a few things..." I lower my arm. "I am not here to bring you harm...I have appeared from nowhere. Even I don't know why I am here." I explain moving around the stage. "Now don't get afraid of my appearance...." I see the clock on the far side of the wall....12:00. I pause as I soon as I see it..... Twilight's POV. As creepy as he is, I kinda like him. I have so many questions to ask him.....and he needs to tell us the rest of his story. I looked around to the others as we stood behind the giant. In all honesty, I had a urge to end him with the elements when he mentioned that he kills....but, he seems too nice for that and decided to give him a chance.....though the castle steps incident seemed extremely weird. Wait...why did he pause? Me and the others started to move forward but we stopped once we had noticed he started to shake.... "Um....Fredbear? Are you ok?" Fluttershy asks him, worry filling her face. His voice was coming in bursts. "T-t-this.....i-i-issss.....b-b-bad....." "Whats bad? Whats wrong?" I asked. I looked where his gaze was on the clock, then I looked back at him. He suddenly snapped to face me with his head facing sideways at such an odd angle that it made everypony yelp. "Y-you....m-must..." His eyes changed into a deep red as well as his voice, which changed to a much deeper version and his jaw started to hang open, showing all the teeth within. We started backing away from him, as well as the crowd. "Darkness is coming....R-R-Run!!!....Have a nice night......" He then had his torso fall limp and lean forward, with his arms hanging limp. All of us, the crowd and my friends were shocked at what just transpired. We jumped at the sound of music being played. It sounded like it was coming from Fredbear. The music was so deep and dark. I saw him rising once again to standing tall. Then....he started singing. I could not stop shaking at his voice. He disappeared from the stage and I heard a yelp from Rainbow as I saw him in front of her, moving a claw across her chin as he sang. Rainbow visibly shivered from the touch and watch in fear at him. We all had stood still and watch him move about around her. He vanished again and appeared at the main doorway, his voice has changed again to a more darker less softer than when he sang to Rainbow. He started striding down the pathway between the crowd. All of them were watching and staring with wide eyes as he sang past them. He stopped at the foot of the stage before appearing again back on it. He sang for a longer time till he vanished again. We all looked around for him as he kept singing. We all jumped when we saw him again behind Rainbow, who had frozen at his presence behind her. He started to sing in a somewhat softer tone to us all as he walked in front of us, pointing to us all as he went. Then...he was gone....silence filled the Hall as we stood shocked at what just happened. I looked at my friends who were in the same state of shock as me. We trusted him....I noticed Rainbow was a bit more scared than the rest of us. I knew what was coming....And we will ether live or die.....
