Five Nights at Phantom's

by Danny Eclipse

Night 3

I woke up from my playtime with Charming, Sunset, and Twilight last night. I got myself a plasma juice box and drank it. Not long after I did that, I felt three dreams, no doubt from my playmates from last night. I could also sense Luna defending them from nightmares and I smirked at the challenge. I teleported into their dreams, making them a shared dream. For extra security, I changed my form into the Tantabus.

---

Once again, I created the static and I see Charming, Sunset, and Twilight looking around, noticed their together. Then, I see Luna appear.

Charming said “It’s here.”

“I sense it…” Luna added.

I smirked and the environment changed to the backroom Charming should remember. They gasped when they see the dead bodies of the Mane 6 and Applebloom. I landed outside the door and transformed into the Animatronic Chrysalis. I hoped the door and hovered inside. They looked towards me, Charming gasping as he recognizes A-Chrysalis. I began to hover to the bodies and put presents down. Then, when the Mane 6 had their heads, I opened the presents and put the heads on the dead bodies. Then, I disappeared and the dead bodies turned into the Animatronic Mane 6. They gasped, Charming piecing this together.

Charming said, finding the conclusion “The animatronics…the original cast…They are haunted by the spirits of the Mane 6! But this makes little sense. What does Applebloom have anything to do?”

The animatronics walked over to Applebloom’s dead body. A-Applejack put her dead body on her back and she walked away to the generator. They appear in the room and they see A-Applejack looking right at the Golden Applejack suit. Charming gasped at it while Twilight, Sunset, and Luna stared right at it with confusion.

Twilight asked “What is it Charming?”

“Starlight and her partner used that suit to lure the Mane 6 and Applebloom to the back room.” Charming replied coldly.

A-Applejack put Applebloom’s dead body into the suit and after a few seconds, the soulless eyes had small white pupils and the suit came alive and got up. It looked around and then looked at A-Applejack and they hugged each other. The environment changed to a black void again.

Charming said “I think this was what Danny was uncovering before he was killed…”

I changed my appearance to NightmareJack from Five Nights at AJ's 4 (It's a nightmare so I can access the form).

“That’s right.” My voice sounded similar to Applejack's but much more ghostly and haunted. They turned to face me. They gasped when they see my appearance. I was grinning, revealing my very sharp teeth. “This isn’t just a game. Something big is coming. When it’s over, you will know TRUE TERROR!”

I pushed a hidden button, the entire place turned black. My three guested looked around until they feel themselves falling down into a pit of darkness.

---

I appeared in my hidden room, knowing that the four had woken up from their vision/nightmare. It made me grin even further now that Charming understood what he was dealing with. I went to my nerve gear and activated it and I lay asleep in the virtual world until the time came.

8:00 PM

I woke up from my virtual sleep and see the place closing down. I see Charming was with Twilight, Sunset, Applejack, and Rainbow. I mentally smirked, this was getting more and more fun. Time to call in for some reinforcements.

“Hey girls, we have five people now. Want to have some fun, Vinyl and toy crew?”

A-Vinyl replied on the mind communication link “You know me Danny. The more, the merrier.”

“Alright, here is the game plan. Pinkie and Discord, I want you two to visit them tonight. Give them a goof fright for me in the office. Twilight, Charming, and Octavia will attack down the left hallway with Rainbow to back them up. Rarity, Fluttershy, and Trixie will attack down the right hallway with me to back them up. Vinyl and Applebloom, you two will attack from behind them. I’ll give them a heads up about that so they have a fair chance to fight back. CMC, I want you three to go with Discord and Pinkie. The rest of you guys stay hidden from camera. Tomorrow, you will get your chance Sunset and Twivine. Alright, let’s do this!”

They all nodded in the mind. I see Rainbow walking up to me and A-Rainbow.

Rainbow said with a smile “I like how Danny did my animatronic. Now, we are both pirates.”

Rainbow admired us a bit more before walking away. Me and A-Rainbow looked at each other before smirking for tonight.

12:00 AM

I began to make the phone ring and then, started the message recording.

“Hello? Hello, hello? Uh, welcome to Night 3! To be honest, I never expected anypony to last this long beside me. Well, I mean no insult, of course! It’s just that… well, they would have left by now. Anyway, I shouldn’t take too long, Tonight, things get real. Remember how the original cast will try to get you? Well, after Night 2 and beginning of Night 3, the Toy animatronics, located at the Arcade, will begin to take a role here as well. Unlike Applejack, who normally stays on stage, Vinyl goes after you regardless. Uh, I will also want to inform you about a couple of animatronics. Their names are Pinkie Pie, Discord, and the CMC. Unlike the others, these five are rather peaceful. They appear in your room at random but don’t show hostiles to these five. Otherwise, you will trigger their chaotic mode. So, Pinkie would become Pinkamena and you get the rest. Also, if you haven’t already noticed, I had a flashlight stored in the desk for helping to prevent the animatronics that appear from behind. If you haven’t already noticed, there is a clear glass window behind you. Vinyl herself normally appears there to get behind you to scare you. But there are two others. I call them the Golden Twins; Golden Applejack and Golden Pinkie Pie. There was a Golden Fluttershy but she went…missing. Uh, Golden Applejack makes an appearance around after Night 2 and Golden Pinkie makes an appearance around after Night 3. So, use your flashlight against them when they appear or they will get you and call it ‘Game Over’, for you I mean. So, keep things alright and see you at Night 4! Oh, and before you consider it, I’ve noticed that animatronics Sunset and Twivine haven’t made an appearance. Don’t worry, they normally appear after Night 3. So, good night and keep the music box wound up. Also, to warn you now, don’t use too much of your power and the flashlight does have batteries. Oh, I almost forgot! Watch out for Balloon Spike. He will temporally disable your lights and doors, leaving you open for an attack. Here is a piece of advice; If you hear his traditional “Hello?” then you know immediately that he is very close and use the light to shine on him. If you see him, close the door or power is zapped. Anyway, good night and see you tomorrow.”

I ended the call and the music began to go.

Sung by the tune of Survive the Night

Sung by Danny, Pinkie, Discord, and All Animatronics

Let's try to make it right
Don't wanna start a fight
And we're so sorry if we
Give you all a little fright
We're not so scary if you see us in the daylight
You'll be so happy just as long as
you Survive the Night

Let's try to make it right
Don't wanna start a fight
And we're so sorry if we
Give you all a little fright
We're not so scary if you see us in the daylight
You'll be so happy just as long as
you Survive the Night

Suddenly, Pinkie and Discord appeared in the room, making everyone inside gasped in shock and almost faint.

Hey there!
How ya doin'?
Nice to meet you, are you new in town?
Don't think i've seen you before,
It's great to see new faces around!
And if you like it,
i can give a tour
Of our enchanting wonderland,
New and improved without the doors!
There's no escape but then,
Who would wanna leave?
It's a fantastical paradise,
And it's not, make-believe!
I'm so glad to have an other member of the band,
You're one of us now,
So let me take you by the hoof!

Discord’s eyes changed from normal to soulless black with white pupils.

BUT WHAT IS THAT I SPY?
WITH MY ROBOTIC EYE?
I THINK I SEE A BIT OF FLESH INSIDE THE NEW GUY!
MAYBE HE ISN'T EVERYTHING THAT HE SEEMS...
TIME TO INVESTIGATE
WHAT'S UNDERNEATH THE SEAMS!

Discord’s eyes changed back to normal and then, they see animatronics at the door and they closed the doors.

Let's try to make it right
Don't wanna start a fight
And we're so sorry if we
Give you all a little fright
We're not so scary if you see us in the daylight
You'll be so happy just as long as
you Survive the Night

Let's try to make it right

Give you all a little fright
We're not so scary if you see us in the daylight
You'll be so happy just as long as you
Survive the Night

They held there for a moment before they kept singing and the five of the guards were backing up.

Forgive me for being suspicious,
Mischief's not on my brain
We're programmed to be pragmatic
If someone messes with the mainframe

It's not that we don't trust you,
We do!
We love you, too.
It's just that, here's at Phantom's,
...We have a few rules

Pinkie, Discord, and the CMC’s eyes changed to Soulless Black with white pupils.

AND IF YOU BREAK THEM,
WE WILL HAVE TO BREAK YOU
LIKE YOU BROKE OUR HEARTS
WE'LL BE FORCED TO REWIRE YOU
AND REPAIR YOUR DAMAGE PARTS

Their eyes changed back to normal.

Now, you wouldn't want that,
And frankly, neither would i.
But sometimes to do some good
You've gotta be
The bad guy!

IN THIS WORLD, WE PLAY
WE HOPE THAT YOU WILL STAY
AND WE WILL THROW A MOST
ELECTRIFYING SOIREE
FORMAL ATTIRE ID REQUIRED
FOR YOU TO TAKE PART
YOU'VE GOT SOME SKIN THAT NEEDS
REMOVING BEFORE WE START...

There was a good pause, power was quickly draining away.

Let's try to make it right
Don't wanna start a fight
And we're so sorry if we
Give you all a little fright
We're not so scary if you see us in the daylight
You'll be so happy just as long as
you Survive the Night

Pinkie began to laugh, which was a bit creepy but then, they see A-Spike appear in the room when no one was noticing and I took this chance and I came into the room. I began to advance on them but I stopped and my eyes changed to soulless black with white pupils.

Let's try to make it right
Don't wanna start a fight
And we're so sorry if we
Give you all a little fright
We're not so scary if you see us in the daylight
You'll be so happy just as long as you

Let's try to make it right

Survive the Night

When the song ended, the five ran out of the room, which made me chuckle. They found themselves at the center of the dining room when they see A-Twilight and A-Charming blocking the exit. Then, they found themselves surrounded but before the animatronics could strike, the bells rang out and we stopped. We went back to positions and hold there for the next night. I disconnected my nerve gear.

Author's Note:

That is all for this one. Next one will probably even more fun or not, I don't know.
