> Freddy Fazbear and Friends' Displaced Adventures in Equestria > by Theyellowninja13 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Saving the day > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Our steps quickly rush past the foliage of this dark forest we found ourselves in. I take a quick peek behind me, to notice my three friends following me. One is a lavender bunny with a red bow tie. Another is a red fox with an eye patch, a hook, and several cuts and marks upon his body. The final one is a yellow chick with a bib that says 'Let's Eat' on it. I look down at myself, looking at my brown paws, and reminding myself that I'm a brown bear with a black hat and bow tie. While we might all be different animals, and have different appearances, we all have one thing in common; we're animatronics. But we weren't always this way. "Come on Claire! We're going to be late!" I yelled to one of my best friends. My three friends and I decided to go to the convention several states away from home, dressed up as our favorite horror game characters. I, Fredrick, was dressed up as Freddy Fazbear, Claire was Chica, Bobby was Bonnie, and Frank was Foxy. We were already dressed in our costumes, and were just waiting for Claire to finish getting dressed. "I still can't believe that we lost one of packages on the way here." Bobby said, reminding us that we left one of the packages that we had crucial parts of our costumes in back at home. In it was a microphone for me, a pair of gloves for Frank to make it look like he had a hook and a metal hand, a guitar for Bobby, and a fake pink cupcake for Claire. "We wouldn't have if Claire didn't make us late for our plane." Frank said, leaning against the wall. "Hold your horses, I'm almost done!" Claire yelled from the bathroom. "That's what you said ten minutes ago!" Frank yelled back. "Calm down Frank. We don't want to get in a big fight and ruin our costumes." I tell Frank, hoping to calm him down. Us four have been best friends since preschool, and have always stuck together. I was always the leader of our group, trying to keep the others calm. Bobby was a tech expert, and was easily the smartest of all of us. Frank was the strongest and the most loyal of all of us, always going out of his way to protect us from bullies, which there were a lot of. And Claire, was the most interesting out of all of us. Claire would always be able to get us anything we needed. We often joked around about her having connections in the black market. But she was probably rich or something. "Alright guys, I'm done." Claire left the bathroom, and posed, showing her costume. "How do I look?" "Like an ugly freak." Frank said with a smile, that was barely visible behind his mask. Claire, taking it as a compliment (which it was), replied. "Aww, thanks." "Now can we finally get going?" Bobby asked. "Sure, but does everyone have everything?" I asked, and everyone nodded, and answered with murmurs of agreement. "Alright, everyone get in the car, and I'll drive." Ten minutes later, we arrived at the convention, and entered. We stayed as a group, and got a lot of people asking us for pictures. But eventually, we found a merchant's stall, that had each of the items we needed. We walked up to it, and I asked the merchant; "Hey man? How much for each of these?" I point to the four items. The merchant just looked up, before responding. "Well, usually I would sell them each for $30, but seeing you and your friends well made costumes, I'll give you a discount. How does $5 for each sound?" "Whoa, really!" I pulled out my wallet, and bring out five dollars, and my other friends do so as well. Very soon, I'm holding my new microphone, Frank was putting on his new gloves, Claire was holding her new 'cupcake,' and Bobby was trying out his new guitar. But then, a few seconds later, my vision was replaced with a bright white light, and I passed out. When I awoke, I found myself face first in the ground. "Ugh. What was that?" I ask, not noticing how different my voice sounds. I push myself up, and my groggy head finally realizes that I'm laying on the ground of a forest. "GAH!" I yelled, falling onto my back in surprise. "Where am I?!" Then, I realized how different my voice sounds. I looked down to see myself still in costume. I tried to take off the helmet, but I soon realized that the helmet won't come off. Then it hit me. "Did I somehow change into Freddy?" I was snapped out of my thoughts, when I heard groaning coming right next to me. I look over to see my three friends start getting up. "Where are we?" I heard Bobby ask. It didn't sound like Bobby though. "I don't know." I respond, and my voice immediately makes all four shoot awake. "Fred, is that you?" Frank asked, his voice much more scratchier. "I think so. Last thing I remember was us using the items we bought from the merchant, and then there was a bright white light, and I passed out. I awoke here, and I can't seem to take off my costume." When I said that, the others all tried, and failed to take off their costumes. While I was acting all calm, inside I was panicking. 'Would I ever get to see my family again? Will I be stuck in this form for the rest of my life?' "I can't take off my costume!" Claire yelled. "Neither can I!" Bobby responded. "Mine won't come off either!" Frank screeched, causing us all to flinch. "Calm down Frank. You're Foxy, that means you have his voice. And Foxy was rather known for his screeches." Frank's eye-patch somehow lifts itself on it's own, before falling down a second later. When the others all stood up, Bobby suggested an idea. "We should get moving. Maybe we'll find a town or city nearby. We can't be that far from the convention, can we?" We all agreed, and went in a direction, chosen by careful consideration (we tossed a flat stone Frank carved sides on). It's been a few days since that event, and we haven't felt sleepy at all, or the need to eat or drink. And another thing I noticed, was that we all have some kind of GPS in our bodies, that lets us know where the others are. But the interesting thing is, the others don't seem to talk much. Even though it has been a few days, they hardly said 10 words between them all after we starting walking. But while they haven't talked much, I've been talking a lot. Maybe they're still trying to process the information or something. Maybe the transformation affected them in a certain way, and they don't speak much anymore. But, I know I should continue talking, maybe to snap them out of it. I have to show courage so that they don't have to. 'After all, they're my friends.' We ran for another hour, before we heard three loud screams. Picking up the pace, we quickly ran to where we heard the screams from. When we got there, we found ourselves on the edge of a small clearing, where we saw three small ponies being cornered by a group of wolves that seem to be made out of wood. The fillies screamed again, and as I saw the wolves slowly advance on their soon to be snack, I felt something take over me, and I felt only the need to protect the children. With a loud scream, all four of us charge out of the trees, and start attacking the wolves. They were quickly startled when we took them by surprise, and we started beating them all to death. While most of us were body slamming them, Foxy, I mean Frank, was screeching as loud as he could, and tearing up the wolves with his hook. When the strange wolves were destroyed, we turned to the three fillies, who looked even more terrified at what we did. Seeing them scared, I felt myself leave the blood rage mode or whatever it was, and start deeply caring for the safety of the children. 'Protect children at all costs.' > The Toreador March and a Screech > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- As the children looked at us scared, I didn't care, as some outside force forced me forward slowly, acting like I needed to care for them. But when I took a few steps forward, they all screamed almost as loud as Foxy's Frank's screech, and backed up into a thick tree, preventing their escape. The child with yellow fur and a red mane with a bow spoke up first. "Puh-Please don't eat us monster. We don't taste good. Honest! My sister's the Element of Honesty, and that means I can't lie!" 'This children are awfully scared. Maybe some music will calm them down.' I thought, and suddenly my microphone was in my hand, and the Toreador March started playing. As it played, the children started to calm down, and let me get near them. As I walked up to them, I crouched down to the best of my ability, before speaking. "He-hey t-there. My name's Fred-Freddy Fazbear." 'Man, I have to sound all weird like that? Like I'm malfunctioning... oh yeah, I am malfunctioning.' "What's yours?" The children looked between each other before responding. The orange and purple one said her name was Scootaloo. The white, purple, and pink one said her name was Sweetie Belle. And the one that spoke up earlier said her name was Applebloom. Slightly nodding, I responded. "Those are some nice names." I gestured to my three friends behind me. "You see. My friends and I are lost in this forest. And we need help trying to get to the nearest town. Do you think you can guide us there?" They lightly nodded, and I stood up, and stepped out of the way, and the three fillies walked past me, looking around nervously. But before they could get far, all three of them tripped on a tree root sticking out of the ground, causing them to comically spin forward, rolling up a tree trunk, before losing speed, and falling on the ground hard. When they hit the ground, I heard three simultaneous cracks as each filly broke one of their legs. 'Seriously?' Then, the weird programming thing kicked in again. I quickly walked forward and picked up all three of them in my arms, making sure they keep off each of their broken legs. "Are y-you th-three o-okay?" Instead of responding normally, they started bawling. I looked towards my friends, who all shrugged, trying to figure out what to do. When I finally figured out what to say, I started playing my music again to calm them down. When they finally stopped crying loudly, I started speaking. "You're going to be okay. Do you think you can lead us to the nearest town still? We can get some help for you there." All three of them nodded, and we spent the next few minutes walking to the exit of the forest. "All right girls, lets go save the Crusaders!" I yelled out, and heard the yells of agreement from my four friends with me. Several minutes ago, Applejack came to me, saying that the Cutie Mark Crusaders apparently entered the Everfree, and haven't left in over an hour. So, we went and gathered the other girls, who all eagerly joined, except for Fluttershy, who was too scared to enter the Everfree. So now, we stood outside the fearsome Everfree Forest, about to charge in, and save the three fillies. But right before we could start our charge, a group of four creatures exited the side of the forest we were facing. At first I noticed that their group consisted of a bipedal bear, a huge bipedal rabbit, a (very hideous) bipedal chicken or duck, and a bipedal fox, dressed similar to a pirate. But when I looked closer, I noticed they were holding the Cutie Mark Crusaders, whose legs seemed to be injured. My concern for the fillies creeped into my thoughts 'Oh no! Those monsters are going to eat them!' Then, the more logical side of my brain, usually referred to as the temporal lobe, realized that if they were going to eat the fillies, they wouldn't leave the forest, where anypony could see them. And they would have done so when the came across them and found that the fillies have broken legs. Meaning that the four creatures weren't going to eat them, but were instead trying to bring them back to Ponyville. I was about to tell the girls this, but I was drowned out by their angry yelling. "I won't let you eat them, you monsters!" Rainbow Dash yelled, as she charged at high speeds towards the creatures. I wasn't fast enough to stop Rainbow Dash, as she collided with the bear creature, in an attack that should severely and permanently harm any creature. When we saw some fading light, we started to pick up the pace, until we left the tree line, and got a good view of a small town. I looked down at the fillies that were still in pain, to hear them point out the name of the town. 'Ponyville, huh? So I guess ponies are a dominant species here?' I was about to walk towards the town, when I heard some yelling coming from the right. I turned my body, to see a rainbow blur charge straight at me, yelling. "I won't let you eat them, you monsters!" 'Protect the children at all costs. Kill any who harm children.' I was about to follow the programming, when I realized something. 'No! They think we're trying to harm the fillies! I must protect them, but not harm the ponies!' And with enough willpower, I fought against the programming, and managed to turn my body in time to point my back at the rainbow blur, which I could only assume is a pegasus, probably the Rainbow Dash Scootaloo mentioned. I heard a loud clank, as I felt myself push forward heavily, and about to fall down, if Bobby didn't catch me, and help me back to standing straight. Well, I would stand straight, if my back wasn't crooked because of the pony. I looked back at the pony, to see her dazed and her forehooves bloody from striking me at high speeds. Before I could do anything else, I was pelted with gems, and bucked in the stomach, further denting my body. But while they continued their onslaught, I stayed as a protective cover for the three fillies, as the gem came close to striking them. I managed to spare a glance at Frank, who quickly nodded, before letting out a loud shriek at caused everyone who isn't an animatronic, or surrounded by an animatronic to stop what they're doing, and cover their ears. > Questions and Parties > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- After almost a minute of constant screeching, Frank stopped, and the ponies started to uncover their ears. When they did, Bobby and Claire stepped in. "Leave him alone!" Claire yelled to the ponies, who most looked like they had anger in their eyes. "Why should we! You're trying to eat those fillies!" The rainbow maned pony yelled back, finally starting to get up. "If you think we're trying to eat these 'fillies' then you must not realize something. WE CAN NOT EAT. We don't have stomachs, or any organs that need the nutrients provided by eating. Plus, even if we COULD eat them, why would we try to bring them to the nearest town, while they have broken legs? We could have eaten them in the forest, but no, we decided to be good guys and bring the fillies to the nearest town!" Bobby yelled back. "Yeah! I guess this is how you ponies treat people who are trying to help?" Claire finished. The attacking ponies all looked down in shame at that. Bobby and Claire helped me up, which was now difficult due to my heavily dented body. Bobby and I shared a look for a second, before I handed him the scared three fillies, and he held them close, before bringing them over to what he determined to be their respective families. While Bobby was doing this, I stood there, struggling to stay standing. A few seconds passed, as I watched Bobby speak with some of the ponies, and a purple winged unicorn came up to me, curiosity in her eyes. I sighed, but it sounded more like a small groan. "So... what are you four?" The purple pony asked. Before I could respond, a white glow encompassed my body, causing the dents to disappeared, making me look like how I did a few minutes ago. As I stood upright again, I looked at my hands, not seeing any of the cuts and dents I got from the ponies. I looked back at the purple pony, before smiling. "I'm Freddy Fazbear." 'Going to only use my real name for my friends.' I gestured to my three other friends, who were walking up to me. "And this is Bonnie, Chica, and Foxy." "So why do you look like bears and other animals, if you seem to be made out of metal?" She started to ask, but a orange pony with a cowboy hat cut her off. "Now Twi, these four saved our sisters, and introduced themselves, don't you think we should do the same?" The lavender pony groaned, and the orange one turned to face us. "Thanks for saving my sister. My name's Applejack, and I run Sweet Apple Acres, which makes some of the best apples in Equestria!" She held out her hoof, which I shook, and she tried to shake vigorously, but due to being a robot, I locked up the joint in my arm before she could take it off (which is completely possible). "Too bad we can't eat." I said, slightly remorseful. Applejack looked sad for a second when she realized that she reminded us of the painful fact. But her ears perked up before too long. "How 'bout some of our world famous cider!" I just shook my head, and her ears drooped again, as she walked away, and my vision was replaced by a rainbow blur. "What are you? Some kind of spy?! Nothing should be that strong! You hurt, I mean you almost hurt me when I was attacking you!" 'She was so crying earlier.' The rainbow pony's eyes were slightly red, and her eyes looked wet with tears. "That's what you get for flying fast at an object made of metal. Next time you should think ahead." I said with a small smile on my face. "Why you!" She said, trying to hold herself back from hitting me, and hurting herself. Then, she realized something, and smiled. "I challenge you to an iron pony competition!" "I'm not a pony, so I can't participate." I said in a monotone voice. The pony realized this, and got angry. "What, too afraid to challenge the fastest and most fearless pony in Equestria?! That's right, you're looking at the one and only Rainbow Dash." She said, trying to boost her ego. I sighed, before pulling off my head, using a trick I practised in the forest. She was looking away at the moment, so I smiled, before tapping her on her shoulder. She turned around, before screaming in fear. While she was, I laughed, which sounded exactly like Freddy's laugh. She eventually stopped screaming, and I put my head back on. "Yep. Totally fearless. I take it that was the long forgotten art of screaming in not-fear?" I grabbed her by her imaginary collar like I would a human. "Face it Rainbow Dash. My friends and I are from a horror game. Murder and terror are stuff we're used to. You think that's scary? Wait until night six." I let go of her, and she quickly flew over to Applejack, shivering like she was cold. 'Stupid programming. I don't want them to be afraid of me!' And before I could even take an imaginary breath, a pink blob covered my vision. I quickly pulled the pink off my head, before holding it a few feet from my face. "HI! My name's Pinkie Pie! Do you like cake!" She asked, and she pulled a cake out of nowhere, before presenting it to me. I sighed, before responding. "I can not eat. None of my friends can eat. I can't like cake anymore because I can not eat it." I said in a calm voice, trying to hold back the other me's killing tendencies. "WHAT!" Pinkie Pie gasped, drawing in a breath so deep her mouth had to be much bigger than it currently was. "HOW CAN YOU NOT EAT CAKE!" I would have normally flinched at this, but I got used to being able to control my robotic senses, and lowered my hearing sensitivity by a lot so my head wouldn't explode. "Like Bonnie said, we don't have stomachs, so we can't eat. Plus, even if you were to put a cake in my mouth, it wouldn't do anything expect mess me up due to having cake in my vital systems." I looked back at the pink pony, and it looked like she was catatonic. 'I think I broke her.' I gently put her down, and made sure she wouldn't drop the cake, before slowly walking away, and almost bumping into another pony. "Hello, fine..." The white and purple pony started. 'She seems like she's trying to be fancy.' "Sir. I am a male." I said in a nice tone. The pony nodded before continuing. "Fine sir, my name is Rarity, and I run the local store called the Carousel Boutique." 'What the crap is a boutique?' "And I couldn't help but notice how... dirty you and your friends clothes are. So, because I'm the Element of Generosity, I would gladly help make some new clothes for you and your friends, and fix up your... current attire." And she closed it up with a big smile and pleady eyes that didn't do anything for me. Deciding to tell her the problem with her statement, I spoke up. "I'm sorry, Miss Rarity, but there is one big problem with what you said. You see, these clothes my friends and I are wearing are basically apart of our bodies." "Well, yes I can see that you all care for your clothing, but I can assure you I can make some better clothes for you four to wear." 'And she didn't understand.' "You don't understand. These clothes..." I reach up to my small top hat, and make a show of trying to pull it off. "are apart of us. They won't come off, and if you try to forcibly remove them, you may terribly hurt us." Rarity kept up the smile for a bit, as she realized what I said. 'Three, two, one.' And right as I finished counting down, she started freaking out. "WHAT! Who in their right mind would make clothes that don't come off!" "People who own places that have animatronic animals like my friends and I." I stated in a monotone voice. Rarity freaking out, and I quickly walked over to my friends. "This is certainly a weird place." Bobby said, causing all of us to nod. "What are we going to do? We'll need a place to stay so we don't get rusty from being out in the rain." Claire pointed out. "Maybe one of the ponies will be able to help us?" Frank asked. "It seems like it's one of our only options. I've learned four the these five's names so far, and I can tell that we shouldn't stay with some of them. For example, Rarity, who is still freaking out over the fact our clothes don't come off. Rainbow Dash is obnoxious and brags about everything, and is possible scared of me now. Pinkie Pie will probably try to stuff cake into us in the middle of the night. Applejack and the purple winged unicorn seem to be our only options." I said, using the facts I got from the ponies to help us. "Her name is apparently Twilight Sparkle." Bobby said, filling in a gap in my information. "Also, she says she's the 'Princess of Friendship' and her kind our called 'alicorns.'" Bobby pointed to the town nearby. "She said she lives in that giant crystal castle." "Jeeze Bobby, how did you get that info so quickly?" Frank asked. "Someone has to be the smart one here. I didn't see anyone else except for Freddy trying." Bobby answered while rolling his eyes. Before anyone could say something else, Twilight Sparkle walked up to us. "So, you four need a place to stay?" She said, trying to hide the excitement in her voice. Sighing, I responded. "Yes we do. Do you know of a place we can stay?" 'And now her eyes are sparkling.' "I have several empty rooms at my castle you and your friends can sleep in!" She said in an ecstatic voice. "Plus I'll be able to ask you so many questions! Equestria has never seen a species like yours!" She clapped her hooves together in a way that should be impossible for a four legged pony. "Now Twi." Applejack spoke up, as she walked over to her friend. "It's getting late, and I'm sure these four are getting pretty tired. You can question them in the morning." "But!" Twilight tried to interject, trying to state a counter-reason. "Actually, we don't sleep." I said, which caused Twilight to get excited again. "We haven't slept for the few days we've been lost in that forest. So, might as well answer the questions sooner instead of later." "My thought's exactly." Twilight said proudly, before her horn started to glow, and she disappeared in a bright light. "What was that?" I asked Applejack, who stood there, surprised. "She was trying to teleport y'all back to her castle, but it didn't seem to teleport you." She then started laughing. "I wonder how long it will take before she realizes you didn't teleport with her." "And this is the library where we keep books! I love books! I really love books! Now, any questions?!" Twilight said, turning around, and realizing the four animatronics didn't appear with her. "What the?!" Her horn glowed, and she teleported back to the field where she left her friends. After 10 minutes of waiting, Twilight Sparkle finally teleported back, looking curious. "How come you didn't teleport with me!" She asked, slightly enraged that she probably gave a tour of the castle without us. He horn lit up, and a purple aura tried to surround my friends and I, but it was cancelled out by the same white glow I had earlier. "HOW DID YOU DO THAT!" Twilight asked, her mane getting frazled. Looking to my friends, I shrugged, before looking back to Twilight. "Spiritual energy from the dead children that were placed inside our bodies by an unknown source, possibly a living mannequin, or a purple serial killer." We figured out that we had the dead bodies of children inside us a while back, and figured they had some sort of spiritual energy that kept us alive. Twilight started laughing when hearing my response. "Well, good to see you have a sense of humor. Now, if you'll follow me." Twilight started walking over to the town, and we followed her, because we needed a place to stay in case it rains. "So, this is my castle! The Friendship Rainbow Kingdom Castle! This is where me and my five friends help teach the entire planet about happiness!" The walk to the castle wasn't that long, and we weren't seen due to it being too late for people to be out. The castle looked like a giant castle, on top of an even bigger crystal tree. "It looks impractical. If the crystals aren't strong enough, it'll crack and fall under it's own weight." Bobby pointed out. Twilight nodded. "Yes it would, but the crystals are magical, and that means they can hold an infinite amount of weight." "How do you make toast?" Bobby asked, a small smile on his face, as he was looking for a certain answer. "That's easy. You take bread, and pour magic into it." If I was an anime character, my face would probably turn white with surprise or something. "How are babies born?" Bobby asked. "Magic." Twilight answered. "What's the answer to everything?" 'Magic.' "I don't know. Probably science." I heard Frank's jaw unhinge at that. So, after waiting in front of the castle for about five minutes, we entered the castle, and were amazed by how it seemed we where now in the actual castle part, and not the crystal tree part. Twilight gave us the tour of the place, and we were amazed by what we saw. In the library was enough books to fill up three normal sized libraries, and there was a mirror Twilight insisted leads to another universe. The only other room she showed us was a throne room-like room, with six big chairs, and a smaller chair with a sleeping green and purple lizard. "Spike! Wake up!" Twilight yelled directly in the small lizard's ear, forcing it to wake up, and possibly destroying it's hearing. 'Why is she doing that to the lizard? Wait, that lizard seems like a child. NO! Don't you dare make me kill!' I turned to look at my friends who seemed to be fighting the same instincts. "Whoa! Twilight! Why are there monsters in the room!" I turned to look at the voice, to see the small lizard looking at us with fear in his eyes, and I felt bad inside. 'Kids shouldn't be scared looking at us.' "Spike! They're not monsters! They're here as guests." Twilight scolded him like a mother would. She looked back to us, and gave a small smile. "Sorry about Spike, he's easily scared." Giving a small smile, I walked up to the small lizard, and held out my hand. "Well, nice to meet you Spike. My name's Freddy Fazbear, and these are my friends Bonnie, Chica, and Foxy." Spike hesitantly moved out from behind Twilight, and grabbed my hand, and we shook. "I'm Spike." After we finished shaking, I stood back to my full height, and asked a question I was curious about. "So... what exactly are you?" "I am a powerful fire-breathing dragon!" He said, trying to puff up his chest to make himself seem bigger. Chuckling, I rubbed his head with my hand. "Oh good. I was worried you were a robot eating lizard who shows no mercy to his enemies." Spike laughed at that. "Wow, I've never seen a live robot before." Spike said, awe in his eyes. "I've only seen them in the Power Ponies comics! Like in issue 25 when Filli-Second had to single-handly bring down an entire army of robots who were equipped with her weaknesses! Or in issue 13 when a robot tried to replace Zapp! Or in iss..." I cut off the small dragon. "Actually, we're animatronics. We're basically robots in suits used for entertaining children and sometime protecting them." I said with a small smile. "Is that why you saved the Cutie Mark Crusaders?" Twilight asked, which caused me to turn to look at her in confusion. "Who are the Cutie Mark Crusaders?" I asked, not knowing what she meant. "The three fillies you saved from the Everfree Forest." She said plainly. "Yeah, but who wouldn't save three children who are being attacked by a bunch of wooden wolves?" I said with a shrug and a smile. "You mean they were being attacked by Timberwolves?!" Twilight said, panicking. "I guess." 'Jeeze, Timberwolves? Dragons? What's next? Griffons and Minotaurs?' After finishing that thought I looked around, and noticed a book talking about the recent war between the Griffons and Minotaurs. 'Okay... how about changelings. Those things are really obscure.' Another look around me, and I noticed another book talking about Changeling biography. 'OKAY! WHAT THE ACTUAL CRAP! I SWEAR IF THERE IS A BOOK AROUND HERE TALKING ABOUT CERBERUS AND TARTARUS, SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET SUED BY ANCIENT HUMAN MYTHOLOGY!' I looked around, and noticed a small poster telling people about the wonderful vacation spot of Tartarus and how it's protected by the three headed dog Cerberus. 'You know. I'm just not going to ask. I'm just going to assume some chaotic god caused all of this.' So, we spent the next few hours answering questions from Twilight, and she answered some of our questions. But eventually Spike, who was writing notes for most of the time, fell asleep, and the programming kicked in so I carried him to his bed (after being directed there by Twilight). On my way back, I passed by a clock that told me that it was around 1 in the morning. 'They have the same time system we do?' But, something shocked me when I was walking back to the throne room-like room. I felt like I lost all my senses, and everything went dark, before mysterious red lines appeared around my vision, and some weird sounds began to play. "Hello there." I heard a voice say. I looked away from my four friends, and turned to face the voice. It was Freddy Fazbear, the bear this place was named after. But something seemed off about him. He looked a lot more... golden. "Hi Freddy!" I said with a smile, and my four friends turned to face who I was talking to, and all had big smiles on their face. "I have a special gift for you five in one of the back rooms. Do you want to see it?" He asked in an innocent tone, which caused all five of us to nod. "Well then, follow me!" Freddy walked off, and we all followed him, as he lead us into a room in the back of the restaurant. When we entered the room, there was a big present in the very back. We all ran in, and Freddy did something to the door. But while we were all looking at the present, trying to figure out what it was, we heard a loud yell of fear, and we turned around to see Freddy take off... Freddy, and become a human. It was like he was wearing a suit. The man was wearing all purple, and the only things visible on his face were his bright white smile seemingly filled with jagged teeth, and his piercing white eyes. Before any of us could react, one of our friends was stabbed by a knife, and fell down dying. The purple man quickly ran over to the rest of us, and stabbed the rest of my friends, leaving just me, as I quickly ran to the door, screaming in fear. I reached the door, and tried to open it, only to find that it was locked. I heard the purple man laugh, and I turned around, only to feel a sharp pain in my chest. I looked down, to see the man remove a knife from my chest, as I fell down to my knees. "Why?" I asked. He responded with a laugh. "Because it's fun." And to my surprise, he picked up my dying body, and brought it over to the giant present, before opening it, and pulling out a regular Freddy Fazbear suit. Then, with another laugh, he stuff my body into the suit, before locking my body and my soul in it forever. "Freddy! Are you okay!" My vision returned, for me to see Bobby shaking me, fear in his eyes. "What happened?" I asked, which caused the three animatronics around me, and Twilight to sigh in relief. "You locked up, while walking down the hallway. You weren't responding to anything." Bobby explained. "It kinda reminded me of Freddy from the games." He said in a whisper, making sure Twilight won't know that we're from a game that has a mystery that involves kids being murdered. "I don't know what happened. But it felt like one of the Death minigames." I whispered to Bobby, who flinched at my mention of it. "SAVETHEM; Give Gifts, Give Life; Take Cake to the Children; Foxy's minigame; or the ones from FNAF 3?" Bobby asked, making me remember all the Death minigames from the FNAF series. "None. It was a memory. A memory of the murder. When the body was put into this suit." If Bobby's face could, it would have paled. Bobby quickly let go of me, and turned to face Twilight. "I'm sorry Miss Twilight, but I think it would be a good idea to call it quits for tonight. It's getting late, and my friend needs to rest after what happened." Twilight nodded. "I understand. You four can use the room on the left. I had Spike move three more beds into the room for you four." She started walking away, but stopped. "Oh, and I plan on showing you four to my other friend who wasn't there today. And Pinkie Pie has a part planned for you four tomorrow." Before we could respond, Twilight was too far away, and we just decided to enter the room. Once we entered, I told my other friends what happened, and we spent the entire night trying to figure out what it meant. "And that is Sugarcube Corner. It's where Pinkie works and lives. They sell some of the finest sweets in Equestria!" Twilight pointed out, as we slowly walked through town. My first thought when I saw Sugarcube Corner was that it reminded me of German houses. We've been getting a tour of the town for the past 15 minutes. And we've noticed the ponies screaming in fear and running inside their houses. "So..." Claire decided to ask. "Why are the ponies all afraid, but you and your friends weren't afraid? I kinda imagined a mob of ponies attacking us." "Because the ponies seem to have some sort of racist mentality." Bobby pointed out, causing Twilight to gasp. "That's not true! I don't know anypony who's racist!" She said in anger. "There it is again." Bobby stated. "You said 'anypony' that means that you are talking only about ponies, you're forgetting other races. But I remember from last night, learning that you and your friends have meet other sentient species like Griffons and Minotaurs. By saying stuff like 'anypony' and 'everypony' you're basically saying 'Screw you Griffons! Ponies are the superior race!' The correct term should be 'anyone' and 'everyone' because you are talking about sentient beings that classify as 'one person,'" "There he goes again." Frank whispered in between Claire and I. "Yep. He always gets into it when lecturing someone." Claire said, causing us three to laugh at the memories of our past. "Remember when he lectured a bully, causing the bully to admit that he's an idiot, without realizing." Frank mentioned, causing us to have to hold our mouths shut so we don't burst out laughing. "Or when he lectured a teacher who got a fact wrong." I remembered. "He said the entire book was wrong." Claire continued. 'The books were wrong. Some facts needed to solve problems were missing, like shapes that didn't have a single measurement to solve them with. Some problems even told us the answers.' We tuned back into the lecturing, to hear Twilight speak. "Wow, I guess I was wrong. Ponies are incredibly racist." "Holy crap! He succeeded!" Frank said in between laughs. "Of course I did. Science and logic trump ingrained beliefs." He said, a small smile on his face. "Says 'Mr. I have a dead child inside me, and the only reason I'm still functioning is the spirit of the child is keeping me running.'" Claire mentioned. "Hey! There's easily explainable science behind that!" Bobby started. "Oh, here we go again." Frank said with a groan, giving Claire and evil eye. Bobby talked on about how scientists in our world have already communicated with ghosts, which we remember seeing on the news a few years back, and how ghosts seem to have special powers in our universe. Before he could get any farther into his lecture, I stopped him. "Bob..." I noticed Twilight listening in. "Bonnie. We all remember this stuff. It was on the news a few years ago. And we all took the classes to understand this stuff too. So you don't have to explain it anymore, and we can get moving." Bobby's face fell. "Yeah, you're right." And without any further interruptions, we continued to the house of the pony Twilight said was named Fluttershy. "Fluttershy! You home?!" Twilight yelled, knocking on the door. Eventually, the door was slowly opened to a crack, to reveal the face of a small yellow pony with a pink mane. She looked at Twilight and smiled. "Oh, hello Twilight. What brings you here?" "Well, I have four friends I would like you meet." Twilight stated, causing Fluttershy to slowly turn her head to us, and I just lightly waved. The fear in her eyes was instantly replaced with love and care. "Oh my!" Fluttershy burst out of her door, and floated around us four. "A bipedal bear, a bipedal fox, a large bipedal chicken, and a large bipedal bunny! I've never seen these species like this before." Fluttershy felt my arm, and noticed something. "Oh! And you're all cold and dirty! Well, I'll just warm up some baths for you four." Before she could disappear back in her house, I stopped her by speaking up. "Sorry Miss Fluttershy, but we can't get wet." Fluttershy turned on a dime. "Oh! And they talk too! I've never seen any talking animals before!" "Actually, we're not animals. We're animatronics designed to look like animals." I explained, before gesturing to my mouth, as I open it. "See? You can see two sets of teeth, the bear suit's and the robotic skeleton's." When Fluttershy realized this, her wings snapped shut on her sides, and she let out a loud 'eep.' "I"m sorry! I didn't know! Please forgive me!" She said while crying. "Hey. It's no problem. There wasn't really a way you could have known." I said in a comforting manner, as I bent down, and rubbed her head. It seemed to work as she stopped crying. "I'm sorry though. I didn't mean to offend you." She said in between sniffles. But before I could say anything else, a small banging sound was heard around my leg. I looked down to see a small bunny holding his legs in pain, after probably trying to hit me. I gently reach down, and pick up the bunny. "Is this one of your animals you take care of?" I asked, as I watched with a small smile as the bunny keeps trying to bang his legs into me, only to get hurt even more. Fluttershy looked up in surprise. "Oh, yes! That's Angel Bunny." She quickly picked up 'Angel' and he kept giving me the stink eye. "He must have been worried for me because I was crying." "Well Fluttershy. It's been nice seeing you again, but we have to get going for Pinkie's surprise party." Twilight said out loud. 'Not much of a surprise party if we know about it.' "It's been nice seeing you too, Twilight." Fluttershy said while nodding. "And it's been nice seeing you Mr. ..." "Freddy. Freddy Fazbear. And these are my friends Bonnie, Chica, and Foxy." I said while gesturing to each of my friends. "It's been nice seeing you Mr. Fazbear, and your friends too." She said with another nod. "You too Miss Fluttershy." I said, and Bobby, Frank, and Claire repeated. Eventually, we entered Ponyville again, a name which makes me groan whenever I hear it. The town was still a ghost town because the ponies were all hiding in their houses or something. 'Maybe they're at the party?' Evidently, the party is at Sugarcube Corner. But the strange thing is that when we arrived at the door, Twilight mysteriously disappeared. We could tell that there is going to be a surprise party in the building, because the lights were off inside, and we could hear faint whispers coming from inside. I turned to face my friends, and tried to figure out what to do. "Should we scare them?" I asked my friends. "It would be pretty funny." Frank continued. "The power's out, so we could do Freddy's thing." Claire pointed out. "But it would be wrong." Bobby started. "We don't want them to all think of us as monsters." Sighing, we all agreed, and walked in. Just like we expected, the lights turned on, a bunch of ponies jumped up, and yelled "SURPRISE!" And then most of them ran away screaming "MONSTERS!" The only ones that didn't run away screaming were these 'Bearers of the Elements of Harmony' and their families. Oh, and a light green unicorn with a mane that looks like mint toothpaste. As we walked in, Pinkie Pie ran up to us, acting all excited. "Were you four surprised! I bet you were all super duper extra duper super surprised!" She said rapidly, while bouncing up and down. "No, we weren't. We could clearly tell that ponies were in here by the fact that the lights were off without any other reason, and voices were clearly heard. Plus Twilight told us that there was a surprise party." I said, pointing to Twilight who was drinking punch. "But everypony is always surprised! Even if they're told!" Pinkie said, appearing sad that she didn't surprise us. Pinkie immediately disappeared, and reappeared near a food table, and gorged on some cookies. Sighing, we went over to a table, and sat down. Frank looked the saddest out of all of us. Probably because he loves sweets, and now we can't eat. But we weren't left in silence for long, as the light green unicorn walked up to us. "Humans." She said in a very weird way. Almost demonic. 'Crap! Did she figure us out somehow?!' I gave a brief glance at my friends, and they lightly nodded, understanding that we should continue playing our parts. "I'm sorry Miss. But you seem to have us mistaken. We are not humans, but animatronics." I said in a calm tone. "No. It's no use lying to me, humans." Her horn glowed, and she tried to grab my hand, but the spiritual energy prevented it. That left her confused. "What? My magic won't work on you?! Show me your hands!" Sighing, I lifted my 'hand' onto the table, and showed it to her. "I don't have hands. All I have are paws." 'Foxy is the only one of us with an actual hand. And he only has one of them.' "See! You're a human! You have four fingers and a thumb!" She said, pointing to my paw. "Fine then. Let's count my fingers." I said in a slightly joking manner. I took my other paw, and used it to count each of my 'fingers.' "One finger. Two fingers. Three fingers. One thumb. Three fingers and a thumb." The pony realized what I said, and quickly looked back at my hand, counting my 'fingers' in her head, before realizing that I'm not human. "Oh my. It's true. You're not a human. Sorry." Then, before I could react, she disappeared. "Weird pony." Claire pointed out. "That was close though. If she looked at Frank's hand, we could have been busted." Bobby mentioned, and that caused Frank to look sad. "Hey. It's okay Frank. We don't think any less of you just because you have a hook for a hand." I said in a comforting manner, which cheered him up slightly. A half hour later, and ponies started coming in again, and a half hour after that, they talked to us. Then when Twilight decided it was time for us to leave, the ponies were all somehow friends with us. When we arrived back at the castle, we got hit by a newspaper being thrown by a paper boy. I picked up the paper, and noticed what it said on the front. 5 children still missing in Manehatten Just a few days ago, five young children; Starburst, age 7; Skittles, age 8; Twix, age 7; Sour Patch, age 9; and Spree, age 6; all went missing at the same time. Eyewitness reports state that they all followed a man dressed in a suit resembling the mascot of a popular new family restaurant. The only suspect disappeared before Manehatten guards could catch them, and no hints have been located on the location of the children. Before I could read any more of it, I immediately handed it to my friends, and waited their responses. When they were done, they dropped it on the ground, and we all realized that this could have meant. 'Is he here?' > Equestria's Freddy Fazbear's Pizza > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- It's already been a day since the party, and Claire, Bobby, and I were all just sitting in Twilight's castle, feeling rather depressed at the fact that we might not be able to return to our world. Frank ran out a while back, doing something he decided not to tell us. But eventually, he came back, running in as fast as he could. "Guys! I found something interesting!" Usually one doing all that running would be exhausted, but since we're animatronics, we can't get exhausted. "What did you find?" Claire asked, finally moving from her spot on the wall where she was standing for the entire time. "Well, I found us a possible job we can do!" He said with a smile on his face. "A job?" Bobby said sceptically. "What kind of job for the ponies can we do?" Frank pulled out a small piece of paper, showing a picture on it. I grabbed it, before quickly showing it to my other friends. "They have a Freddy Fazbear's here?" I asked, surprised, and worried. "Yep. They're going to open tomorrow in Ponyville, but their suits for the ponies disappeared, and they need someone to act like Freddy, Bonnie, Chica, and Foxy! And we happen to look like the animatronics, so the manager found me out in the town, and asked if we could do the job. They'll even pay us!" Frank said enthusiastically. I looked to my other friends, before they all shrugged. "I suppose it wouldn't hurt to get a job. Plus with our knowledge, we might be able to stop some unfortunate 'accidents' from happening." So, we all exited the castle, and followed Frank to the Freddy Fazbear place. While we were walking, I whispered over to Bobby, "Doesn't it seem kinda strange that we arrive in this world, and now a whole new string of restaurants opened up, and kids are disappeared?" "Yeah, but we can't do anything about it. The only thing we can do is hopefully prevent some bad stuff from happening." Bobby answered. We quickly arrived at the place, and it looked like I expected it both inside and out. The size of it was the same as it was in the first game, with all the rooms in the same positions, except there was a few rooms directly behind the security office. These rooms were the entry rooms, and the manager's office was directly to the right of the entry room. When we entered, no one seemed to be inside the building. Frank quickly led us to the manager's office, where voices were heard coming from inside. "Oh yeah. Give me more." A stallion's voice was heard. "MMMwah. Mmmwah, mwah. Oh Mr. Gleigh. You're such a charmer." A more feminine was heard. "Oh yeah. I just hope my wife doesn't find out about this." All four of us went blank faced at that. "I'm sure she won't. I have my ways of disappearing." "Then why don't you disappear inside of me?" 'What?' "I like the sound of that." Some random noises came after that. A minute later, Frank cleared his throat, and knocked on the door. "Umm... Mr. Gleigh? My friends and I are here for the job." He said in a hesitant voice. "Come on in." The male voice said, which we did, covering our eyes so we don't see... whatever he was doing. But to our surprise, no one else was in the room. The office seemed clean, with bookshelves filled with records and books, and a desk with several papers on it, and an empty sandwich wrapper. 'Well, that explains it.' Sitting in an office chair, was a stallion with a deep purple mane, and a lighter purple fur color, with yellow/white irises. "So, you four really do look like the suits. Why is that?" "We were just made like this, sir. We're actually quite old, about 30 years old." Which is true, we were that old when we left Earth. The stallion jumped off his office chair (one of those awesome ones you can spin around in), before walking over to us, and examining us. After an awkward minute of no talking, he spoke up. "You got the job!" He said with a smile, as he held out his hoof. All four of us shook it and he started talking again. "My name's Purgle Gleigh, but you four can just call me Purgle. Now I want you four to look around the building, so you can get used to it, and your fellow workers. Well, only one worker is here at the moment. He's going to be the night guard, and is currently practising his job. I want you four here by 5:45 AM, so you can get ready when the place opens at 6 AM. Now, there is some props for you near the stage. I need Freddy to play lead singer, Chica to play back-up, Bonnie to play guitar, and Foxy to be in Pirate's Cove, getting ready for the children." "Actually Purgle, we have the instruments we need." Then, I grab my microphone (out of wherever I keep it), Bobby pulled out his guitar, and Claire pulled out a microphone she somehow had. "Excellent! Now can you go and check out the place and visit your co-worker?" We all nodded, and left the room, closing the door, before turning to each other. "He seems like a nice guy." Claire said. "Yeah but did you catch his name? Purgle Gleigh, it sounds similar to Purple Guy. And his coloration seemed similar to Purple Guy's." Bobby pointed out. "Why would the manager be a serial killer?" I asked Bobby with a chuckle. "Purple Guy caused Freddy Fazbear's place to go downward and lose money. It would make more sense if a worker like the security guard or phone guy was purple guy." I finished speaking by the time we arrived at the infamous security office from the first game. In the room was a pony wearing a uniform with my face on it. I gently knocked on the open doorway. The pony almost jumped out of his skin. "Wha! Oh... it's you four. The animatronics that arrived in Ponyville the other day, right?" "Yep." I responded with a friendly smile, before putting my hand out to shake. "I'm Freddy, and these are my friends Bonnie, Chica, and Foxy." The pony shook my hand with a smile. "Well, nice to meet ya. My name's Security. I take it Purgle brought you four in due to the suits missing?" "Yep." I answered. "So... you're the night guard?" "Yes I am." He said proudly. "All I have to do is check the cameras to make sure no one enters the building." He looked back at his cameras. "But for some reason I can't see inside the kitchen." I gave a concerned look to my friends at that remark. "Well, I'd be careful around here at night." Security looked at me with a confused look. "Where we're from, we had a Freddy Fazbear Pizza chain like this, but it went down under because of some murders. Someone murdered some children, and stuffed them inside the animatronic suits." Security's face paled. "But the sad thing is that the children's souls were stuck inside the suits, and they wanted revenge. No one is really sure who the murderer was, but a lot of people think he was a security guard, and the animatronics tried to kill whoever the security guard was at the time, even if they weren't the murderer. But since we're the animatronics here, you shouldn't have to worry about us trying to murder you." Security didn't look relieved at that. "How could somepony murder children!" He exclaimed. "The murderer was a psychopath." I decided to tell him about the fifth animatronic. "But, the scariest thing is that there were five children murdered, one put into each main suit, like us, and one put into the suit the killer used. A Golden Freddy one. The Golden Freddy is dangerous if you look at it. If you see it, bring up the camera, okay?" "Why are you telling me this?" "Because we don't want anyone else to die. No innocents deserve to die because of the actions of another." I simply stated, before walking off with my friends. "Why did you tell him all that?" Frank asked, when we were a suitable distance away. "Because he needed to understand the seriousness of the situation." I answered. The next day we started our new jobs, entertaining the children, and enjoying the smiles on their faces as they got cake and pizza. Eventually, Applejack brought in the fillies we remember learning were called the Cutie Mark Crusaders. They all walked over to me, while I was off stage, giving some pizza to a group of kids. "Hi Mr. Freddy!" The three fillies all yelled at once. I turned around, and gave a big smile on my face. The fillies had some casts on for their broken legs, and you could tell they didn't like the casts. "Hi Scootaloo, Applebloom, Sweetie Belle, and Applejack." I responded. "What brings you four here?" "Well, these three never gave ya four thanks for saving them from the Everfree." Applejack said, pushing the three fillies forward. "Thank you Mr. Freddy." They all said at once. "You're welcome." I said with a nod. "Are you four going to be staying here for some lunch? A song is going to be starting soon." There was a list of when we need to sing that all four of us memorized with our new robot memory. Apparently, we also already know the words to the songs as well, even though we've never heard them before. The three fillies all looked at Applejack with pleading eyes. Eventually, she gave in, and got themselves a table. I quickly delivered some pizza to them, before getting on the stage with Bobby and Claire. 'I don't really see what people see in this place. It's just too creepy to let children near.' Eventually, it was getting late, and everyone left. Frank was telling us some stories about Pirate's Cove. The kids seemed to really enjoy him. But we were cut out of our conversation by a loud scream. We quickly ran over to where it came from, and found out it came from the security office. We quickly got there, to see a giant golden humanoid bear grabbing the unconscious body of Security, before disappearing with a laugh. "Was that Golden Freddy!" Claire yelled, as we started to panic. I quickly ran past them, trying to run to the one room where Golden Freddy is thought to be. "Where are you going!" Frank yelled to me, as they started to catch up. "The kitchen." I stated, and a few seconds later, I burst through the doors of the kitchen to see Golden Freddy absorbing something out of Security's dying body. 'Probably life force or something.' I quickly charged forward, and punched Golden Freddy in the head, and surprisingly sending him back far. Bobby quickly grabbed Security, and tried to wake him up. "He's dead!" Bobby exclaimed. 'How did he find out? We can't even feel for pulses.' Golden Freddy looked at us, anger clearly in his soulless eyes. "Oh crap." I said, before narrowly dodging some sort of energy beam from Golden Freddy. "RUN!" I yelled, as we quickly ran out of the building, and into Ponyville, trying to dodge all of Golden Freddy's beam attacks. "WHY DOES HE HAVE BEAMS!" "IT'S PROBABLY MADE OF ENERGY! MAYBE HE-" Bobby started to explain. "SHUT UP BOBBY! YOU CAN EXPLAIN IT LATER! BUT FOR NOW, JUST RUN TO THE CASTLE! MAYBE TWILIGHT CAN HELP US!" I heard the others all agree, as we quickly started to make our way to Twilight's castle. After a minute of constant running, we burst through the doors of the castle, and surprised Twilight and Spike, who were reading or something. "Freddy! What are you doing!" "Running for our lives!" I said, as I dodged another energy beam from Golden Freddy, only to be surprised, when it reflects off the walls of the castle, before bouncing around, and hitting Golden Freddy, seemingly knocking him out, as he fell to the ground, and didn't move. "Well, that worked." "What is going on!" Twilight exclaimed, but we ignored her, as I turned to Bobby. "Bobby, how do we stop him?" Bobby went into thought for a few seconds. "I have an idea. If he has the child inside him, maybe we could remove the child, and give the child a proper burial. That way we could cut off his connection to the spiritual energy that powers him." Bobby explained, and I quickly ran over to Golden Freddy's head, before ripping it off, and chucking it away. Inside Golden Freddy, there was the decaying corpse of a child, no older than 8 years old. With the help of my friends. we ripped the rest of the suit off, and pulled out the mutilated corpse, before quickly bringing it to the grass behind the castle, and burying it. When we did, we could see a faint image of one of the ghosts from FNAF 3 leave the ground, and float up disappearing in the sky. We all sighed, before walking back into the castle, to see Twilight quite angry. "WHAT IN EQUESTRIA WAS THAT!" "Calm down Twilight, and we'll explain." I said, putting my hands in front of me in a calming gesture. "CALM! CALM! YOU JUST BROUGHT A FLYING GOLDEN VERSION OF YOU INTO MY CASTLE, WHILE IT WAS SHOOTING MAGIC AT YOU, AND THEN RIPPED IT APART, AND PULLED A BODY OUT OF IT! HOW CAN I BE CALM!" Twilight screamed, forcing us to lower our hearing sensitivity. "This can be explained. You see, the universe that we are from has it's own chain of Freddy Fazbear's Pizza. But it has a dark secret, as someone has murdered children over and over again, placing their dead bodies into the suits used to entertain children." Twilight calmed down a bit, and started to look disgusted. "There were five victims. One was placed inside a Freddy Fazbear suit, one inside a Bonnie suit, another into a Chica suit, one into a Foxy suit, and the last one was placed in the suit the killer wore to lure the children. A Golden Freddy suit. The children got angry as this, and their spirits took control of the suits, making the suits live so they can exact revenge on the killer." "Wait." Twilight said, realizing something. "Were the children placed into you four's suits?" I sighed, looking down as I answered. "Yes. But before you think about taking out the children, you should realize something. We weren't born in these suits. We were once normal humans, who when sent into this universe, were forced into these suits. If you remove the children from us, you might save the child's soul, which is in here with us, but you might also kill us, as we might not be able to operate our suits without the child. Plus, we think the murderer is in this universe as well, as children are disappearing, and their bodies aren't found." "So when this 'Golden Freddy' came in, shooting magic at you, and got knocked out by it's own blast, you pulled out the body so the child could rest in peace?" Twilight said, trying to figure it out. "Yes. Golden Freddy was absorbing some kind of energy from the security guard at the restaurant, and when we stopped him, the guard finally died, which made him pissed, and he attacked us. We ran here, hoping you can stop it, but I guess that problem stopped itself." I said with a nervous laugh. "But why would somepony... I mean someone in your world try and kill anyp-one!" Twilight exclaimed, not knowing the evils of humanity. "Humans are very dangerous and the murderer was something called a serial killer. He would dress up in animatronic suits, before luring children away, killing them, and stuffing them into other suits. They did it because they enjoyed doing it. The murderer is a psychopath." I said, feeling really sad. "Was the murderer ever found in your world?" Twilight asked, realizing how sad we're getting. "Kinda. At one point, he disabled our universes versions of our suits, by using a small trick." Twilight looked confused. "In our world, some of the Freddy Fazbear's Pizza places had a secret room that the animatronics were unable to enter due to not knowing it was there. By using this trick, he surprised the animatronics, and disabled them, which inadvertently freed the children. When he disabled all four of the animatronics, the ghosts of the children cornered the murderer, and forced him into a faulty suit that is able to switch from animatronic, to suit. Since the place was rather wet, the suit closed on him, becoming a spring trap, and killed him." "Well, that's good. He did get punished for his actions." Twilight said with a smile, before noticing the still sad looks on our faces. "His spirit possessed the suit." I explained, causing Twilight to gasp. "30 years later, his suit would be burned down with Fazbear's Fright, a horror attraction that tried to preserve the memory of the murders and the restaurant." "How many people were killed by the murderer?" Twilight asked. "We don't know, but it's over six. And I fear that Golden Freddy is just the beginning of a tragic turn in this world." > Fazbear Bonanza > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---Golden Freddy POV---         I pondered the odd girl that I had chased out of town. I could tell she had a good deal of power, more than she even knew from what  could tell… I shook my head. One thing she was not good at was being stealthy. I could follow her path later, and I had let her get away simply to give me a way to find her origins. For now I didn’t care enough to follow her, and so I would let her have some sense of safety and then hopefully find out more about her. A human or at least knowledge enough to shapeshift into resembling one meant that there was another Displaced around or that someone else had gotten knowledge of them somehow. Neither seemed good to ponder but for the moment there was nothing to be done other than-Huh. I looked down to see one of the first Pokemon I placed into existence booping my leg. A Pichu, wearing a green backpack and handkerchief. I raised an eyebrow at the fact that he seemed to have packed said backpack to the brim. “Hello there Picklechu. Going somewhere?” He nodded. “Pch! Pichupi!” “Youre going to spread the word of Arceus to the heathens of Equestria? Are you sure that’s a good idea? You could get-” “Pichupi! Pich! Chu!” “Okay okay jeez. Quoting Arceus on me, don’t get all biblical! Well see ya later little guy here I got something for you.”          I snapped a paw and conjured him a sword of the metal I used in my kids’ exoskeletons. As far as I had seen the metal couldn’t be broken, so a sword of the type would be of great use. Though it was a bit taller than him I figured he’d grow into it. He saluted me and then dashed off. I had a feeling that the little guy would do some interesting stuff… I felt a pull all over myself and sighed. “Really!? ANOTHER summon!? Okay I’m tired of getting yanked around to other worlds. Whoever you are, YER COMIN TO ME INSTEAD!” I reached out to the version of ym token calling and gave it a yank towards me, watching a few figures drop from a rift above me. I blinked when I saw who it was and squeed internally. Now THIS was gonna be fun! ---OG Freddy’s POV---         I was sitting around Twilight’s castle, going through my mind, trying to see if I can get anymore death minigames from the dead children’s memories. Bobby was building… something, not sure if I even want to know. Frank was talking with Spike. And Claire… just burst through the doors of the castle, before running over to us.         “Guys! I found something!” Claire said in an almost excited voice, as she held out a small piece of metal in front of us. The piece of metal looked like Golden Freddy’s head, and I could feel a weird energy around it.         Bobby got up, and took the piece of metal, and examined it closer. “I don’t know. It feels weird. Similar to how Golden Freddy felt when he was attacking us, but this feels much more powerful.” Then, to everyone’s surprise, it started glowing, before a voice spoke out.         “Whoever you are, YER COMIN TO ME INSTEAD!” I felt something grab me, and pulling me into the piece of metal. I could hear the yells of my friends as they got pulled in as well. We all seemed to plummet through the black rift opened by the coin, until after a moment we saw a pinprick of light which rapidly grew, encompassing our vision. We all passed through and landed on top of each other in a heap, on a stone floor. I glanced around and saw that we were near a fountain in what appeared to be some kind of town square. Then I saw him. He sat on the ground with a hanging jaw just as he was in the game, and how he flew at us the other day...Golden Freddy.         “GAH! GOLDEN FREDDY!” I yelled, as I quickly ran behind a wall, or something, and I could hear my friends panicking as well, as we all hid behind a large wall, and looked for a reflective surface to bounce any energy beams back at him.         “What is he doing here!?” Frank yelled, fear in his voice.         “I don’t know! I thought we buried the child, and freed the child’s soul!” I responded.         “Where are we anyways!” Bobby asked, which caused me to take another look around, noticing how the area was vastly different than the areas we knew. I was about to pose the same question when I heard...Laughing? I turned my head to see Golden Freddy on his back laughing hysterically. He rubbed a nonexistent tear from his eye and starting trying to speak. “Y-y-yknow I thought that I’d--HAH--have a reputation amongst some circles of Displaced but not enough to scare people at the sight of me alone! That’s freaking hilarious!” “Displaced?” I asked Bobby, who just shrugged, telling me that he doesn’t know what it means either. As we kept hiding behind the wall, images of seeing Golden Freddy absorb the life out of the security guard went through our heads. Golden Freddy managed to calm down a tad by this point and stood up, rubbing the back of his head. “Uh...Oookaaaay you don’t even know what Displaced are. That means that some other jackass is walking around with my face!! I’LL KILL THE BITCH!” Black storm clouds seemed to materialize behind him as he yelled that, flashing with lightning. He coughed and they disappeared and he turned back to us. “Ehem. Where are my manners...Well kids, my name’s Golden Freddy Fazbear. What’s yours?” Looking nervously between my friends, I decided to take a step out of our impromptu shelter, getting a closer look at Golden Freddy. He seemed almost the exact same as the one that tried to kill us, but felt different. He was almost radiating with power, but I couldn’t even feel any trace of the same kind of spiritual energy the other Golden Freddy was powered with. For some reason, I felt like this wasn’t the same Golden Freddy we fought. I raised a nonexistant eyebrow, before taking a step closer, and responding. “My name’s Freddy Fazbear, and these are my friends Bonnie, Chica, and Foxy.” I looked to my friends, and they seemed to understand what I was getting at with calling them out, and they slowly walked out from behind the wall. “And, it’s kinda hard to kill someone, if they’re already dead, dismantled, buried, and freed.” “...Okay I get what you’re saying other than the ‘freed’ part.” He seemed to notice something and spoke to himself. “Whoops… Almost left that on.” He snapped a paw and one of his eyes lit up, changing from a single white pinprick in a sea of darkness to a different form. It now had a glowing golden iris and a slit pupil, as well as some cracks on the edges of it. He smiled back to us. “Sorry, left that illusion on for the prank. So what’s all this ‘freed’ business?”         Bobby slowly and nervously walked in front of us, causing all three of us to lightly groan, as he enters ‘that’ mode. “We found out that our bodies are powered by the dead bodies of children stuffed inside us by a serial killer. And, when we battled Golden Freddy, we deduced that he must have one inside him too, and we were able to stun him long enough to rip him apart, and bury the body, which freed the soul of the child, and rendered the metal suit inoperable.” If he had glasses, Bobby would totally be pushing them back on his face like a stereotypical… person who has glasses and is talking about science. Freddy blinked. “Kay… Though you’ll find those rules don’t apply to me.” Before I could respond Golden Freddy reached around and ripped the costuming off his torso, showing nothing but an empty endoskeleton...Though he seemed to have an odd black void in his chest. Golden Freddy waved over himself with a grin. “I got no strings on me! No dead kids or anything. I mean I have some tokens rattling around my pocket dimension but that’s just random stuff.” I heard Bobby chuckle a bit. “It makes sense that different universes would have different rules. Like how we have corpses inside us, and you don’t.” I deadpanned when I heard that. “Wait… Bobby, are you saying that we’re in a different universe?!” I yelled, not understanding why he didn’t bother telling us. Bobby was unfazed by my yelling. “We have to be. We’re in a different location, with different rules, like how Golden Freddy is here in this universe, but no longer in ours.” I deadpanned again. “Next time, do you mind sharing with the class when you make a discovery like this?” Golden Freddy nodded. “Well that is actually true. You are a nerd for understanding all of this in such a manner, but you are correct. Just as well, it seems to be time for…” A wave of light washed over us and suddenly I looked around to see that we were all in a classroom, sitting in desks. Golden Freddy walked into the room wearing a tweed jacket and tie. He coughed and looked at us. “Alright class take your seats. Welcome to…” His arm moved into a blur, scribbling onto a chalk board. “Golden Freddy’s Multiverse 101 class! I’ll be your teacher for the day, to avoid confusion you can call me Mr. Fredbear. Alrighty so first up would be the topic of ‘Displaced’. Displaced are beings that have been moved between universes against their will. Usually it’s people from Earth in cosplay that are Displaced, and usually it goes like this: Person/Group A goes to Convention. At convention they find a Merchant or salesman that has an item that interests them, usually but not always related to their costume(s). They buy or have it thrown at them and a random visual effect happens and they get knocked unconscious. After that they wake up in some version of Equestria having been turned into the character they were dressed as beforehand. The term itself ‘Displaced’ has mixed uses, sometimes used as itself or an abbreviation for ‘Dimensionally Misplaced’ though that has been the subject of debate. Anyway PART TWO! Tokens!” Freddy floated out a few objects from his chest that he hovered over us. a metal disk device, a bird hairpin, a paper charm, hammer, and sword which seemed to go together and even a Metroid emblem. “Tokens are used by Displaced as ways of communicating, meeting other Displaced, getting and receiving help or simply travelling. They are usually items related to the Displaced(s) in question and are used to either summon someone to someone else or the reverse. For instance, you found my token but since I’ve got enough experience to control how I get summoned I was able to resist you summoning me and instead reverse it and pull you to me. Any questions thus far?” The items he had floated out returned to him and he grinned at us. I raised my hand into the air, and waited to be called on. “Yessum, Mr. Fazbear?” “How does one make a token?” “Eh, pick an object usually related to you but that’s more of a personal preference, and put some of your own essencey-ness into it and then I can show ya how to send it out and how make it. Any number of Displaced can share a single token but I suppose there must be some limit to it. But before that, pick an item or items for you all and I’ll show ya how it’s done.” Going into my thoughts to think of what to use as a token, I selected an idea, and decided to test out my developing spirit powers, by holding my hand out, and watching, as it glowed white, and my face contorted in pain, before a small piece of metal with all four of our faces on it appeared floating above my hands. I smiled a bit, as I noticed all of our faces have huge smiles on them. I looked back at Golden Freddy. “Is there some kind of message or instructions we should put on it?” He nodded. “Just focus and say what you want the ‘outgoing message’ to be. In my case I’ve kinda monkeyed with how my tokens work so I basically get a phone call in my head whenever someone uses my token, rather than any specified message.” I nodded in understanding, before turning to face my friends. We all shared a look, knowing immediately what to put on it, and I held out the hand with the token in it, and they put their hands on top of mine, before we all spoke out. We are the protectors of children We will fight to our last breath just make sure no children, no matter the species, are harmed We will help those who need it… but if you dare use evil’s might on a child… We’ll show you FAZBEAR’S FRIGHT! Golden Freddy nodded and held up a paw. “That brings me to Part Three. Alignments. Out in the Multiverse you have to be careful. There are heroes and there are villains. There’s even a handful of chaotic or neutral players, I myself am Chaotic Neutral. I won’t go looking for a fight as long as anyone else isn’t and I look out for my friends and people I’m allied to, and that’s good so far. You can make some powerful allies and enemies out there, I’m of the former I hope. But remember, there is always ALWAYS a bigger fish! Some beings out there, child spirit mojo or not, will blow you aside without skipping a beat. Don’t be afraid to make allies but be cautious. As a former manipulative psychopath myself I can testify to how dangerous other Displaced can be. That’s about the long and short of it all, any further questions?” Bobby spoke up. “I take it that your eye was messed up by another Displaced?” “Yeah. Jackass by the name of Corypheus or something… Tall guy, brown hair and an omnitrix. Said he was a jotun, y’know a frost giant? Yeah it was back when I was crazy, and don’t get me wrong I’m crazy now but back then I was more violent about it, he and I met. My rules that I abide are that I won’t interfere with what other Displaced do in their worlds as long as they do the same for me. But this jackass was the whole ‘Lawful Good’ deal and decided that he wanted to try and beat me. A buttwhooping later I was leaving, thinking I had offed him but deciding not to faff about in his Equestria, and this jackass comes out of nowhere with a cheapshot and put a sword in my eye. Babbled about saving my Equestria and whatever. Anyway quick explanation: A while back I was all crazy and stuff, and I was buddied up with Discord. We brought the madness and chaos and stuff to the world and I put Celestia in stone and all that, but Discord got all pissy at my methods since I was trying to make sure the Elements of Douchebaggery couldn’t stone us again. We fought I won and absorbed him, and later I found out, get this, the bastard put something in my head that was making me all that crazy. Anyway as a favor to a group of Displaced I met called the Servants I decided to fix all the damage I did to Equestria and reset it so its as if I never messed it up and all that. Well Celestia is still in stone but I made it so she’s animate and all...Anyway I made friends with Cadence but the other two hate me and I made myself this town and all in the badlands (which I have claimed as my own now) and bladdablah. Anyway… Wanna look around?” I could tell all four of us nodded at the same time, three of us getting bored of being in a classroom, and Bobby wanting to learn more about the surroundings. “We would love to.” I answered. He gave us a thumbs up and led us out of the classroom, the jacket and teacher garb disappearing from him. He waved us out and as we finally got a good look around he spoke in an old voice. “Welcome children...To Fazbearic Park! Nah, just my digs.” All around us was a town crafted of stone buildings, some with intricate designs to them others without. Moving about their daily lives were odd ponies, unlike any we had ever seen. They all had bug-like features, but with different features to them. They all had carapaces covering them rather than fur in colors of white, gray, and black shades as well as silky manes in different colors, the same as their eyes. They all had wings that varied as well, matching different types of bugs as well as curved and sharp horns on their heads. Most of them waved at us as if we were a common sight and seemed to bow slightly to Golden Freddy. “These little ones are called Shiftlings, made by me from a species previously known as Changelings. With their consent of course. Basically I just tweaked their diets so they wouldn’t be starving and allied up with their leader.” “I’ve heard of Changelings before, but only in the books Princess Twilight has in her castle. But you changed an entire species to no longer be parasitic?!” Bobby exclaimed, loving the science and mystical portions of this. “Not even Supreme Doctor Isaac Darwin could do such a thing!” Freddy grinned at him slyly.   “Well not their entire species, just the one hive as well as some others I got from another Displaced’s world. And if altering one species into another impresses you then you’re gonna have an aneurysm when you see the entirely new stuff I made!” “Is it Pokemon?” Frank asked, not really interested. Golden Freddy slowly rotated his head like an owl, his torso unmoving. “Boi yer DAMN RIGHT IT IS!” His head whirled back into place and he coughed. “Anyway yes, I whipped up some artificial Pokemon to bring some actual life into the Badlands as there’s basically no other life here. Anyway you can look around and find some if you want, I made an artificial Arceus and Mew to oversee the development of all the species.” “Nah.” Frank dismissed. “We weren’t really into Pokemon much on Earth. I just assumed you created Pokemon because you’re crazy and powerful enough to do such a thing. And this world is colorful enough for Pokemon.” “Why thank you! Anyway over here you can find-” “OUTTA THE WAY CAP’N!” Golden Freddy tilted his head in time to get a glimpse as something brown/orange rammed into him and both landed sprawling. Golden snapped a paw and righted himself and I watched as a second Foxy stood up. He looked different than Frank though… His costuming looked more like actual fur, though I could still tell he was an animatronic, and he wore a pirate shirt and vest along with a three point hat and cutlass along with the normal pants. The other Foxy dusted himself off and looked sheepishly at Golden. “Er...Sorry Admiral sir, Bonbon, Bonnie and Toychi are playing Sithball and I was runnin’ n such a hurry so I could grab the Stankball and throw it at Bonnie’s head.” Golden waved him off. Foxy saluted at us and seemed to zone out as he saw Frank. He narrowed them into a glare. He screeched and lunged, yelling. “I BE THE ALPHA HERE! NOT YE YA RIPOFF!”         Frank sighed, before not only moving out of the way of Foxy’s lunge, but using reflexes quicker than anyone could react, grabbed Foxy’s neck with his hook hand, and slammed him into a nearby wall. “I’m no pirate. And I’m certainly no ripoff of you, Captain Crunch.” Foxy matched his gaze and his own hand opened into a hook that was a size bigger than Frank’s. Before either of them could fight Golden snapped his paw and split them apart and dropped both of them from the air. “Foxy this is a Displaced not a replacement. Human Foxy I apologize, my kids have this thing about the idea that I’ll replace them. I keep telling them that I won’t but still. Foxy, MY Foxy, say you’re sorry.” He crossed his arms and seemed to huff at Golden. Golden glared. “Now!” “Myeh!...Sorry.” Golden nodded. “Now then Human Foxy apologize.” Frank was about to complain, but I stopped him before he could speak up. “Frank… Do as the creepy animatronic says.” Frank sighed, before responding. “Fine, I’m sorry for slamming you into a wall.” Both Foxies glared at each other for a moment before Golden’s Foxy burst out laughing and punched Frank’s shoulder. “Alright fine then lad. Sorry, I have a bit of the ole Fox instinct programmed into my head. Anyway I suppose I best be off, still have to nail Bonnie with tha Stankball.” Foxy dashed off, grabbing the ball off the ground. Golden turned back to us. “Anyway wanna follow him?” “Sure.” I said with a smile, and I heard my three friends groan, as I knew they didn’t want to see other versions of themselves. “Wait… should we be expecting Springtrap at all?” Golden seemed to lose all cheer for a moment and spoke in a grim tone. “No. No you shouldn’t. Anyway…” He shook his head and seemed to cheer back up and started following Foxy. I sighed in relief at Golden Freddy’s response. “Good. Because we might lose all control if we see any fragment of Purple Guy. We have to deal with him in our world, as he already murdered several children.” “Oh jeez that’s some badness there. Well still- AHA!” He pointed over to some sort of sparring field where we could see our alternates… Though I didn’t seem to have one. I could see a Toy Bonnie and Chica as well as Foxy throwing various sport balls at what looked like Bobby’s alternate. Though his right arm lacked costuming from the mid-forearm down and had a claw like Old Bonnie from FNAF2 as well as having a missing face (which I saw hooked onto a belt). He looked less think-built than Bobby, more of a muscular build. In his left paw he held what looked to be a yellow lightsaber of the same build as Yoda’s. Alterna-Bonnie seemed to be balancing himself on one foot on a pillar as the others threw the balls at him, cutting them with either his claw or saber. Only the alternate Bonnie seemed to notice our approach and as he looked up at us he was nailed by the ‘Stankball’ Foxy had been bringing.As it hit him it fell apart into what looked to be dirty laundry. I heard him groan as he flailed his arms to get it off. “GAH!! DAMMIT FOXY THAT SHIT IS RANK!” Foxy guffawed at this and took cover as alter-Bonnie started chasing him with the lightsaber. “INDEED LAD! TIS THE STANKBALL!” All four of us laughed at the display, thankful we never got sense of smell, so we couldn’t be gotten by the same smell. Alter-Bonnie threw his lightsaber and boomeranged it through the air, nailing Foxy. He jumped on the opportunity and started whacking the laughing Fox with the lightsaber. It seemed to do nothing to him other than cut off costuming, which regenerated back into place after a moment. Foxy laughed all the while and Bonnie kept whacking him though while doing so he waved to the Toy Bonnie who brought over the remains of the Stankball. Before Foxy could react, Alter-Bonnie grabbed the filthiest sock from the pile and shoved it up Foxy’s nose. “NYEH TIS THE SMELL OF DAVY FACKIN JONES!” Alter-Bonnie jumped off and started sprinting from Foxy as he drew his cutlass and roared. “YE KNOW I HAVE A MORE POWERFUL SENSE OF SMELLIN’ THAN YE!” “Shoulda thought about that before you SUCKED ASS!”          The two collided and started strangling each other, though without much result as they neither had lungs. Toy Bonnie seemed to sigh and walked over to us, talking in what sounded like a combo of Golden Freddy’s and Bugs Bunny’s voices. “Alright I’m gonna forego the whole ‘murdering you for my own continued existence’ deal for now and hope that you guys are Displaced, since otherwise you’d have memories of how to get around already. Anyway the two killing each other there are Bonnie and Foxy, over there is Toychi and I myself am called Bonbon. The nicknames are by choice though and, I’m looking at you fox boy, I will sock whoever says shit about them. Now then, what’s your deal?” I spoke up first, but only talked to my friends. “Well, since there’s so many animatronics of similar names, might as well use our real ones.” I turned around to face ‘Bonbon.’ “I’m Fredrick, and these are Bobby, Claire, and Frank. And yes, those are our birthnames.” I heard Bobby say something to himself, that he thought was quiet enough we wouldn’t hear. “Freakin’ dimples. Who puts dimples on animatronics?” I sighed, remembering how he particularly dislikes the toy animatronics. Bonbon cheekily grinned at him, hearing every word. “Sounds like somebody’s jeal~ouuus!” Bobby looked up at Bonbon, before smiling. “Yeah right. You’re just jealous that you don’t have the originality of us four. We have dead children and killer programming inside us, do you?” “We have chunks of a sociopathic human-turned-bear in our heads, unbreakable endoskeletons, and full control over our actions little mister computer code for brains.” “Can you teleport?” Bobby surprisingly asked, before he disappeared in a white flash, causing me to get slightly angry. “DARN IT BOBBY! JUST FREAKIN’ TELL US IF YOU LEARN SOMETHING LIKE THAT!” Bonbon kept us his cheeky grin and snapped a paw disappearing from view and poking Bobby’s shoulder only to warp back in place when he turned and looked. Bonbon stuck out his tongue and spoke. “Yessum. Can you play guitar AND shoot lightning?” He took out an electric guitar and strummed it, letting off the sounds of a bass and finishing by shooting out a few bolts of lightning into the air. “Bobby can. But he’s probably on Mars or something right now. Not sure about lightning yet, as we’ve only had these bodies for almost a week.” And idea came to me, causing me to put on a grin that could rival Golden Freddy’s. “But can you do this?” I pulled out my microphone, started playing Toreador March, and a few seconds later, Bonbon jumped backwards, seeing a jumpscare only he could see. He grinned and narrowed his eyes at me and I felt a wave of nausea as I saw a reciprocating Toy Bonnie jumpscare appear and seem to lunge for me. I looked back to where he stood with the same cheeky grin. “Again I say yessum.” I caught a brief glance up at something in the atmosphere, and smiled. “Do you have an orbital laser cannon?” Befor he could respond, I held out my paw, holding up three fingers, before counting down to zero, and Bobby teleporting next to me, with a cliche button remote with only a big red button on it, that he quickly pushed, causing a giant laser to fire from the cannon Bobby was building in space before hitting a mountain in the distance, destroying the mountain. “In case you’re wondering.” Bobby spoke up. “I was able to steal some stuff from abandoned space stations aliens built in places in this universe, before bringing them to one place, and building a space cannon.” Bobby handed the remote to Golden Freddy. “You can have this. Consider it a present for the knowledge you gave us. Plus, I gave it a party setting, so you can fire nachos at invading armies.” Freddy shook his head and passed it back. “Eh you don’t have to pay me kid. Besides if I wanted a space station then I could just magic one up for myself. Plus the nachos thing I can do anyway.” “But orbital space cannons make everything cooler, than just snapping your fingers.” Bobby sighed, before teleporting to the cannon, and deactivating it. “I have no idea how he does that stuff.” I idly commented. “I swear he was perhaps the smartest person in our world, and we had people who started colonizing planets.” Golden Freddy shrugged. “Cool. Anyway gimme a sec to break those two up.” He snapped a paw and both of them reappeared, glaring. Golden sighed and snapped a paw, yanking the sock from Foxy’s nose. “Bonnie, Foxy play nice.” They both kept glaring. “I said PLAY NICE DAMMIT!”          He pressed their faces together and they scrambled to get apart. Both seemed to sigh and let out halfassed apologies. Bonnie looked back at all of us and Foxy seemed to wander off. “Uh...What’s the deal with these guys Bossman?” Golden dramatically sighed. “Son...They’re from the future!” Bonnie blinked once before looking at Bobby. Before we could react he swept the leg and knocked all of us over and grabbed Bobby’s neck in his claw. “NICE TRY FUTURE ME I KNOW HOW MUCH OF AN ASSHOLE YOU ARE! And don’t bother warping we both know my claw can negate that!” “Maybe for current you.” Bobby started with a smile on his face. “But I’ve gotten a few upgrades. I might not be able to teleport, but I can still do this.” Bobby punched Bonnie in the face with enough force to push him back and force him to let go. Bonnie responded by bringing his lightsaber around and slicing through Bobby’s left arm and lopping it off. “Apparently some downgrades too Future-Me.” He tapped his lightsaber against his own arm, where it cut through the costuming but bounced off his endoskeleton. “You got that ability removed in a freak accident involving popcorn, nachos, and a Shiftling. Besides, I can repair myself.” Bobby made to pick up his arm, but it disappeared in a white flash, before growing back out of his wound. “...Ability? You mean you were stupid enough to replace your entire endoskeleton?” “Well, more like forcibly removed.” “...Did you get hit reeeeaaallly hard on the head at some point? Enough to shake your brain loose and make you think that made any sense?” “A lot actually. As a reminder, don’t insult gods who can control the very fabric of the universe. With a single snap, they not only imploded Bonbon, but temporarily messed up all the other animtronics including Golden Freddy, before removing the indestructible endoskeleton.” I sighed, before stepping in. “Okay, this has gone on long enough. We’re not from the future, we’re a group of friends displaced as the FNAF crew.” Bonnie deadpanned. “No shit sherlock. I was seeing how full of shit this guy was. I’m not stupid enough to insult a god, and besides that Bossman’s not dumb enough to get messed with, even by a more powerful being. Besides, the endoskeleton is me. It’s like talking about removing a skeleton from a human and expecting them to live. Besides Bossman would put me in a new one if that did happen and my soul is made with its own patterns to it. Can’t be messed with by anyone other than Bossman, plus the fact that he’d be the only one I’d trust to make me a new body. So guy who is almost but not quite as handsome as me what’s your actual deal?” Feeling depression through my body, I responded before Bobby could. “Not all of us get to have our own souls. We all lost ours a week ago, and are now forced to live with a bloodthirsty child soul in us that wants to do kill most adults we see.” “Tough shit. Mine’s made from scraps and shavings offa Bossmans’. And besides that, you’re still here ain’t ya? That means even if it’s been monkeyed with it’s still there in some way. Just keep someone around that can knock some sense into you when you go crazy.” “You curse a lot, don’t you.” I responded with a half-hearted smile. “But I still miss my soul. I can’t even remember what having a conscience is like. I could kill people, and not even care, as long as no children are hurt.” “...You don’t seem to be listening. You know how you’re all depressed and shit? That’s YOU feeling that! You don’t FEEL having a soul dude that’s just some meta magical shit. You are aware of yourself, and the only one making you think that you wouldn’t care is you. Someone else is in your head? Then FIGHT BACK. You’re in control right now, aren’t you? There some child telling you what to do now? No? There ya fucking go. And yeah I do cuss a lot, I was made with a  basic replication of Bossman’s personality as a teenager and he wasn’t the most caring of buggers to any random fucker to walk by.” I gave another small smile. “I don’t know if what you’re saying will even work. Or if the child will just leave me, making me nothing but a shell with a metal skeleton.” I turned to face Golden Freddy. “I think I’m ready to leave.” He nodded. “Alright then. And remember, whether the child is in there too or not, you got just as much right to the body as he/she/it. And in terms of power then I could just as well charge you up with the same biz I made my kids with. And  specialize in mental magic stuffs, so I could help there too.” “Nah. I’d prefer to just keep learning how to use the powers I’ve got. They might not be as powerful as you and your children, but they can get the job done. And thanks for helping us figure out some interesting ways to use our powers. Next thing I’m gonna learn is how to go invisible.” I handed Golden Freddy the token we made. “You think you can send that into the multiverse?” He gave a thumbs up and threw it, and it faded from existence. A second later I saw it fall from above us and clang onto Golden’s head. He took it and put it into his ribcage. “As always the Displaced that makes a token outside of his/her/their universe has one appear there. That was a copy of your token for me to have and such. Anyway, our contract is now complete and such stuff so bye!” “Bye!” We all yelled, as we felt ourselves getting teleported back to our universe, where we all landed on the floor of Twilight’s castle. Oh, and Bobby apparently took the cannon with him. > Those weird hats with propellors on them > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- It took a while to finally get away from answering all of Twilight's questions about where we were and stuff like that, and now that all four of us have time alone, I did something I've been meaning to do for a while. "What the crap Freddy!" Bobby yelled from the ground, after I slugged him in the face. Normally, I'm a calm guy. I wouldn't start fights, I would end them with words. But Bobby's behavior in Golden Freddy's world made me angry. Claire tried to help Bobby back up, while Frank was making sure I wouldn't attack again. "What was with you earlier?! You built a giant space cannon in someone else's world? You learned all these abilities, and didn't bother to tell us?! I understand that you don't like anyone being better than you, but you have to understand, they were more powerful than you! They use a different power source, one much more powerful than our spiritual energy! They could probably beat us up, and hold back at the same time!" "I just wanted to prove myself strong!" He yelled back, knowing that whispering it wouldn't work at all. If we were human, he would be crying right now. "All my life, I was the smart one, and the weakest of all of us! You three all had to protect me from bullies! Now that I have these powers, I wanted to be able to prove myself strong!" I sighed, before gently putting a hand on Bobby's shoulder. "Look, we're all in this together. Each of our own survival rests on each other. We can't survive if we don't be honest with each other. So you have to tell us if you learn some new powers. We still need to learn that teleporting thing." "Sorry" Bobby replied, looking sheepishly, before he diverted his gaze to the night sky. Well, the large object in the night sky. "What are we going to do with it?" I looked up to see the cannon just floating there in space, rather close to the planet, and keeping it's own altitude. "Put it on this planet's version of Mars or something. Don't want these ponies and other species to have access to advanced technology." Bobby nodded, and disappeared, before the cannon disappeared, and he reappeared right in front of us. "Now, teach us how to do that stuff." In a few short days, we all learned how to use the teleport ability, and even figured out how to go invisible. We don't really have anything to do during the daytime, as Freddy Fazbear's Pizza closed down because of the murder. We were just looking around town to see if there was anything particularly interesting to do today. We stopped in our tracks when we heard several familiar sounds, such as the Galaga's opening theme, and even Pac-Man's and Bubble Bobble's. We followed the sound, until we saw an arcade filled with all kinds of old arcade games. Well, they were very similar to the ones from Earth, but more ponified. Except for Bubble Bobble, which still had the same lovable dragons. I noticed that there didn't seem to be anyone there, except for a small colt with a brown coat, and a rust colored mane. He also had a weird propeller hat. Walking over to him, I noticed he was playing a game that just looks like ponified Mortal Kombat, and didn't even have any gore. What kind of Mortal Kombat game doesn't have gore?! "What'cha playing?" I asked, watching the screen as a pony wearing blue fired an ice spell at a pony wearing yellow, who threw a... whatever Scorpion throws... back at the blue pony. "Magical Kombat." He simply stated. "You're too old to know anything about it." That got all four of us to chuckle. Back when we were human, we loved old arcade games. In fact, we could never tell who was better at them, Claire, or Frank. Since Frank couldn't exactly play with a hook, Claire walked past all of us, and spoke up. "Look kid. We played this game growing up." She took a look at the screen. "Well, a better version of it. Technically, you should be too young to play this game." "Bet I could beat you Grandma." I cringed at that, and Claire just chuckled. "You're funeral." The pony moved to the side, and they started a new round. A few minutes later, Claire not only beat the pony (who we learned is named Button Mash), but beat him in two different re-matches. The kid stared at the screen, looking shocked, with his mouth wide opened. "B-but how! I've won the Equestrian Magical Kombat championship two years in a row!" "Well, I've been playing that game since I was 5. I've played all the sequels to it, even if they haven't come out here." Before Button Mash could reply, the power cut out, and a disturbingly familiar sound played when the power went out. "What just happened?" Button Mash asked, fear in his voice. "The power went out." I replied, keeping an eye on the child, as my programming started kicking in. "Doors won't open either." Bobby said, as he walked over to us. I think when we entered, I saw one of those things that can come down, and block the doors to prevent entry after hours. "Can we teleport out?" Frank asked. We all looked to Bobby, who has the most experience. He sighed, before slightly flickering, and then solidifying with a shocked expression. "Something is preventing us from doing it." We all looked between each other, and I picked up Button Mash. "Sorry about this Button Mash, but if there's a power outage, there could be dangerous stuff on the ground, like broken glass." He nodded, before continuing to shiver in fear. "Maybe we can find a way to turn on the power?" Claire suggested, and Bobby nodded. "A place that uses this much power must have a breaker. We could try to throw the power back on." He answered, and we started walking, looking for a breaker in this large arcade. I was glad that my eyes were glowing, allowing limited vision in the dark. He walked for a few minutes, before we found the power room. Walking in, Bobby instantly got to work trying to examine what the problem was. He opened the case holding the breaker, before gasping in shock. "It's been tampered with. We're not alone." Right as he said that, we heard a familiar laugh resonate throughout the entire building. Bobby quickly fixed the power problem, causing the lights to flicker on, and Button Mash to scream. We looked to where he was pointing in fear, to see Balloon Boy standing there, looking like he always does. He laughed again, before lunging at me, and slamming me into a wall. I heard Button Mash moan in pain, and I felt my programming kick in, as my eyes shrunk to pinpricks, and I gently put Button Mash down, before lunging at Balloon Boy. giving my famous scream. He didn't expect it, as I delivered punch after punch into his face, severely damaging him, before I ripped off the head, and completely dismantled his entire body, enough to make Mangles cringe in fear. When I was done, I stood back up, breathing heavily, and then my eyes turned back to normal, and I felt dizzy. I started leaning on a wall, clutching my head in pain, before everything went dark. 'HELP! SOMEBODY HELP! HE'S RIGHT THERE!' I try to yell, but nothing came out, as I watched a purple figure lure five more children away from the main area. 'PLEASE STOP HIM! DON'T LET HIM TAKE MORE VICTIMS! PLEASE STOP HIM!' I looked to the suits containing my friends, noticing that they seem to be having the same reaction. 'THEY WON'T LISTEN!' I yelled to my friends, my spiritual eyes filled with tears. 'They can't hear us Freddy.' Bobby spoke through the connection we all share. 'We're nothing but spirits to them.' 'Why can't we stop him! He's gonna kill more!' I yelled back at my friend. 'Because that's how it needs to be.' A voice spoke out, and I looked to see a tall figure. with a white mask, and two lines coming from it's eyes. 'He needs to kill them to bring his own doom.' 'Who are you?' I asked, never seeing this animatronic before. 'His first victim. Before his fake suit. Before Freddy Fazbear's Pizza. I was the first one he killed.' After it said that, I cringed when I felt all those kids die. 'They will be put in new suits. And because of them, you will eventually get your revenge.' My eyes shoot open, and I look around, seeing my friends beside me, looking worried. "An-another one." I said, gasping for breath, which I don't need. I think back to the vision, and remember something important. 'I-he called him Bobby.' "Come on Freddy, let's leave here." Frank said, wrapping his clawed arm around my neck, as Claire picks up Button Mash, and we start walking back to the entrance, not teleporting because we still couldn't for some reason. Eventually, we see the door down a long hallway, and start to pick up the pace, before Frank collapsed, and I couldn't feel him on the GPS we had of each other anymore. We hear a demonic laughter, and turn around, only to gasp, as we saw a pure purple pony walk out of a corner. It was a unicorn, with demonic eyes that don't care for life, and a smile that brought fear into our hearts. "Thanks for bringing me the child." He said, chuckling. "Now hand it over!" "NO!" I yell, before seeing Claire fall down after being hit by a spell fired from the unicorn. I quickly turned around, and started running for the door, my programming to protect the child overriding the programming to stop the unicorn. As I run for the door, I see Bobby collapse, and I feel my legs stop working, causing me to fall to the ground. I let go of Button Mash. "Button Mash, RUN! DON'T LOOK BACK!" He nods, and starts running, but the unicorn catches him, and looks to me, before smiling, as he gutted Button Mash right in front of me. "NO!" I yell, as I try to push myself up, only for my arms to fail. "Aw, poor thing. Let me put you out of your misery." The unicorn said, as he walked over to me, before firing his spell right at me, causing everything to go black, except for my last thought. 'I failed.' > Explaining > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Loading start-up sequence "...eddy? ...e you oka...?" I thought I heard a voice call out. I couldn't feel anything. Everything was dark, there was no light, and no feeling. It was like I was dead. Starting optical sensors Suddenly, I could see, and I saw the hooves of the ponies as they looked over me. I looked up to see Twilight Sparkle was speaking, but I couldn't hear her. I looked around a bit more, and I saw the dead body of a small pony. 'Button Mash.' Instantly remembering what happened, I looked over to see the lights of my friends eyes slowly start up, and they looked around. Starting audio sensors Just like that, I could hear again. I heard the voices of the ponies freaking out, and I heard a mother sobbing over her lost child. There were guards talking to various ponies. "Freddy?! Are you okay?! Please tell me you're okay!" Twilight said to me, small tears in her eyes. I tried to open my mouth to speak, but no sound came out. Starting basic movement programs When those words showed up, I felt my arm again, and used it to push myself off the ground. As I slowly got up, and my friends did too, more words showed up across my vision. Start-up sequence complete "What happened?" I ask, as I looked around, trying to avoid looking at my failure. Twilight sighed in relief. "Good, you're okay. As for what happened, the arcade seemed to have lost power for a while, and when it regained power, some ponies came in, and saw you four on the ground, as if you were dead, and Button Mash... was...was..." Twilight didn't finish the sentence, as she cried and I pulled her into a hug. "We can answer some of those questions about what happened. We we're in here when it did." I said calmly, and when Twilight finished her crying, she backed up a bit and nodded. "We need to know who killed Button." She said, and I was about to tell her who did, when I had a spear pointed at my neck. "Stop monster! You're under arrest for murder!" The guard said, as he kept the spear pointed at my neck. "I didn't kill him. We tried to protect him from the real killer." I told the guard, who didn't believe me. What he did believe, was Twilight, who told him to stand down. "Don't attack my friends! They didn't do it!" Twilight scolded the guard. "But Princess! How do you know? They could be lying!" The guard replied, slowly backing up from an angry Twilight. "I know, because they're designed to protect children!" The guard gulped. "That's right." I responded. "Our programming forces us to protect children, even if we don't want to. But we always want to protect children." The guard slowly moved away, and I let out a soft chuckle, before turning to Twilight. "You should gather your friends. I don't want to explain this more than once." Twilight nodded. "We can do this in the castle too." Then, with a flash of her horn, she teleported away. We were about to teleport to the castle as well, but I noticed Button Mash's grieving mother. I walked up to her, and crouched down to her level, and put my paw on her shoulders, trying to comfort her. "I'm sorry for your loss. But I promise you that we will find the pony who did this." She seemed slightly angry at us, but she also looked like she was fighting her own emotions. Standing back up, I turned to my friends. "Guys, lets go." Then, we all teleported to Twilight's castle. "Is everyone here?" I asked, as I looked around, seeing the sad and confused faces of the Bearers of the Elements of Harmony. "Yes. We're all here. Now, can you please tell us what happened at the arcade?" Twilight asked, and I sighed, before starting. "Before I can tell you what happened there, I need to tell you something else." I looked at my three friends, who gave me confidence to tell them. "You know how we're from another universe?" They all nodded. "Well, we didn't always look like this. We had different names. I used to be Fredrick, Bonnie was Bobby, Chica was Claire, and Foxy was Frank." The ponies all gasped. "We also weren't animatronics. We were a race called humans." Another round of gasps. "But what turned you into animatronics?" Fluttershy asked. Bobby spoke up. "Well, all four of us used to be big fans of a game series called 'Five Nights at Freddy's.' We loved it so much that we dressed up as the characters, and went to a convention, where we got displaced as the main characters of the game." Claire continued. "You see, Five Nights at Freddy's is a video game, where you play as a security guard, who works from midnight to 6am for five days at Freddy Fazbear's Pizza. But, while it does sound easy, the problem is that various animatronics try to kill you all night." They all gasped again. "Why would they try to kill a security guard?!" Twilight asked, flabbergasted at the idea. "Because they believe the security guard is the one who murdered them." Frank answered. "Years before the game, there was a killer. He would dress up as an animatronic, a golden version of Bonnie, which was actually able to be used as a suit and an animatronic. While dressed up, he would lure kids backstage, kill them, and stuff their bodies into the animatronics." "What happened to the killer?" Applejack asked. "He was caught by the police, our version of your guards, and was eventually let go due to lack of evidence. But various Freddy Fazbear places were shut down because of the foul stench of decay coming from the animatronics." I said, looking down at my feet. "The kids were eventually removed, and sometime later, more kids were killed, and stuffed into the suits by the same person. Those kids are still inside us." I opened my chest plate, and showed them my tangled mess of wires and the decaying corpse of the child. Fluttershy burst into tears, and Applejack comforted her. Rarity passed out on a couch, and Twilight threw up. Even Pinkie's mane deflated. "These children's souls were angry, and possessed the lifeless animatronics, wanting revenge. In the games, they eventually were able to find the murderer, who we only know as the Purple Guy, and were about to exact revenge, but he used an old trick against them. While the soul of another Freddy Fazbear, this one an adult who died in a Golden Freddy suit due to a malfunction in the spring parts of it, lead the children to the murderer, Purple Guy hid in a room that the animatronics didn't know about, and couldn't enter. Because of this, the Purple Guy was able to destroy the animatronics, using a special device. He disabled Freddy and his friends. But to his surprise, by doing so, he freed the souls of the children from the animatronics." Bobby continued for me. "Because they were free, they were able to corner Purple Guy in the room, and eventually trick him into going into the very same suit he used to lure the children. But that suit had faulty springs in it, and even a small amount of water, the same amount you exhale can mess it up. So, they lured Purple Guy into a 'Springtrap,' where he thought he was safe, but he was wrong." "It was raining that day, and the building was pretty faulty." I finished. The ponies all gasped, knowing what happened. "So, he was finally gone?" Twilight asked, not really wanting to know the answer, but the scientific side of her wanted to. "No." I answered, causing another round of gasps. "That led to the events of Five Nights at Freddy's Three. 30 years later, the stories of the murders became urban legend, and some people made a horror attraction of it. Fazbear's Fright. They didn't have an animatronic, because no one knew what happened to the animatronics, but while searching through an old Freddy Fazbear's Pizza building, they found something." "No." Twilight said, not wanting it to be true. "They found an animatronic. A worn out Golden Bonnie suit." Bobby continued. "They brought it to the building, and had a night guard watch over it for four nights." "But how?!" Twilight asked. "How could the animatronic be alive if it didn't have a good reason for it's soul to stay?! The children that were... murdered... wanted to stop him, but the 'Purple Guy' doesn't have a good reason!" Bobby chuckled a bit. "In our world, our kind discovered that there are different kind of souls. The kids had souls that wanted to finally be at piece, but the Purple Guy had a soul that wanted revenge. That didn't want to die that day. So he waited, and waited until he was found." "What happened next?" Applejack asked. "It couldn't have ended just like that!" I sighed. "In Fnaf 3, there were two kinds of endings. If you didn't appease the murdered children, you got the bad ending, and the kids souls stayed in the suits, and became restless spirits, killing night guards at night. But if you brought cake to each child's soul, they eventually leave the suits, and go onto the next life. The horror attraction burns down, and hopefully got rid of Springtrap. But that is all we really know so far. There was a fourth and final game in development before we disappeared from our world, so we don't know how it exactly ends." "That's awful!" Fluttershy complained, wiping away tears. "How could a creature murder children like that?!" "Some humans are violent, and evil, but some are generous, and go their entire life helping others." I answered. "What happened at the arcade?" Twilight asked. "The power went out, so we took Button Mash with us to fix the power, because we were trapped in there. We fixed the power, and dealt with an animatronic from the game. As we moved to leave, a purple unicorn showed up, and started hitting us with spells that disabled us, before killing Button Mash right in front of us." I answered, before moving over to lean on a wall, as I felt another vision or something coming. We stared at our murderer, as he started laughing, thinking he was safe from us in his broken suit. His spring-trap. "You can't get me now! You'll never get me, you kids! You might as well give up!" He laughed maniacally. "No. Because you doomed yourself." I said, as the murderer stopped laughing and looked at us confused. "What do you mean?" He asked, and I pointed at the wet ground below us, before pointing to the springs on his suit. I could see his eyes widening, as a clapping sound was heard, and blood started spilling everywhere. As he was yelling in pain, he fell onto the ground, and looked at us. "Mercy." He begged, before leaning back, his life drained. Feeling a heavy burden removed from my shoulders, I turned to face my friends. "We did it." I said simply, and we disappeared in a bright light, to reappear at what was a birthday party. "What the?" I asked, before turning around to my friends, and was surprised by what I saw. my friends all had bodies again, and were wearing masks of the suits we were trapped in. I looked down at myself, and noticed I had a body again too. "Happy Birthday!" They all exclaimed at once, and I felt a smile forming on my face, as I remembered we never finished my birthday, as we were murdered. All my friends were there, and even a kid who was wearing the mask of that puppet animatronic. I felt too happy to care. I felt so happy and free, that I started floating off the ground, and went to the sky with my friends. 'So this is what it's like. To be free.' I said to myself, as we went higher and higher, and everything turned white. But suddenly, something strange happened. Everything turned dark, and I felt weird. I felt a feeling I haven't felt in years. The feeling of a body. After what felt like forever, the darkness faded, and I saw a blinding light, and several adults standing over me, smiling. 'What the?' I heard myself crying, and started to feel sleepy, even though this body didn't. My last thought before I faded away was my surprise when I felt something else in my mind. Another personality. When my regular vision returned, I looked between my concerned friends, and the concerned ponies. "Freddy, are you okay?" Frank asked. "Yeah, but I think I figured out something weird." I responded, as I looked at my own hands, and tried to figure out what happened, and if it was true. "What is it?" Bobby asked. Then, standing up straight, my body glowed with a combination of both blue and white light. I responded in a voice both mine and another's. "The truth." > Meeting Royalty > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Right after 'Freddy' said that, Frank quickly grabbed him by his bow tie, and threatened him with his hook. "Who are you and what did you do to Freddy? And what do you mean 'the truth?'" He yelled, worried about this friends. 'Freddy' calmly grabbed Frank's hand, and pulled it off of his bow tie, before speaking. "I am Fredrick. But I'm also not. It's difficult to understand, but as you three know about our 'past,' it should be easier." "What are you talking about?" Frank asked. "Near the end of Five Nights at Freddy's 3, if you do things correctly, all the animatronic's souls turn into balloons, remember?" Everyone nodded. "Well, that wasn't the end of us. I was one of the victims of the one you call 'Purple Guy,' and my name was already Fredrick. The souls that allow you three to move are also the souls of my friends, who each share the same names as you. It turns out that when we were finally freed, some kind of 'rift' opened up between our world, and your world, which our souls were sucked into, and got stuck in the bodies of four new born children." The three other animatronics were shocked by this. The ponies just looked on, confused. Eventually Bobby realized something. "The Great Rift of 1990! Which was the same year we were born!" "Wait, are you saying that because of that rift, we had the souls of the murdered children in us?" Claire asked. "Makes sense." Bobby shrugged. "Also remember that because of that rift, science made leaps and bounds in spiritual science. If that rift never happened, imagine how different our world would be. Modern science has got to the point where the average human life span is 100 years, they're colonizing the moon, and we started finding alternate universes, and we won't have to worry about running out of fossil fuels and the like." "Yes, the rift was the cause of all of that." Freddy continued. "But let me continue. Because our souls were put into four newborns, the bodies couldn't handle having two minds, so we each decided to become the recessive one, as we lived our lives, and didn't want to ruin another's. But even with us out of the picture, we still had accidentally set your futures in a certain way. You were all bound to become friends, and all destined to become fans of Five Nights at Freddy's. We didn't get to have our bodies back until you got another mind to use. Right now, your mind is stuck on the memory chips in your heads, and our souls are stuck powering the suits, but we also get to live because of this, so you four get to as well." "How do you know this stuff?" Bobby asked. "I'm not allowed to say. But a lot of this I learned by experiencing it. I'm sorry for everything you have to experience from our past. Now, I think it's time for me to give back control to your friend. But don't be surprised if you hear from me again." Freddy closed my eyes, and gave back control to Fredrick. "Ugh, that felt weird." I moan as I hold my head in my hand. "Freddy? Is that you?" Claire asked. I nodded. "I think so." I go to lean against a nearby wall, and sit down. "Just need to process this information. I saw some of his memories. I have a feeling I know who was bitten in '87 and why, but I just need to process this." I close my eyes and sigh. 'Sometimes, I just wish I could sleep.' Eventually, one of the ponies decided to speak up. "We should tell the Princesses this! If you're saying that these monsters are showing up in Equestria, we need to tell them!" Twilight pointed out. "Oh yeah, you mentioned that there were three other Princesses, correct?" Bobby asked. "Yes. There's Princess Celestia, who raises the sun." I could hear Bobby's eyes twitch at that. "Princess Luna, who raises the moon." another twitch. "And Princess Cadance, who is the princess of love." My eyes shot open at that. "Wut?" I shook my head. "Never mind, I don't want to know." "Excuse me, but did you say 'raises the sun?' and 'raises the moon?'" Bobby asked, his eyes twitching. "Yes." Twilight nodded. "They bring the day and the night for all of us on this planet." Several sparks were shooting off of Bobby. "I'm afraid that shouldn't be possible. The sun's diameter is 109 times the diameter of Earth's, and it..." Frank cut him off. "Bobby, you're forgetting we're in another world. Perhaps another universe. This planet could be bigger or smaller than Earth. And maybe physics can allow a sun to rotate around a planet." Frank reminded him. Bobby sighed, hating the fact that the sun could possibly move around the planet. I stood up, and was about to stretch a bit, before I realized that wasn't a smart idea. Heck, I'm still trying to get used to this bulky body. "I say we go. We should tell this country's rulers about the threat that is showing up." I turned to Twilight Sparkle. "Where do the Princesses live?" "Oh, they live in the castle in the city on the mountain in the distance. The city is called Canterlot." Twilight said, gesturing to a window that showed the city. 'How long has that window been there?' I asked myself mentally. "So, when are we going?" "Wow, the city is massive!" Claire said from right next to me. Twilight Sparkle was able to send a letter to this 'Celestia' who quickly arranged transport via flying carriages. Unfortunately, there wasn't enough room in one, so Twilight, Claire and I were in one, Bobby was in another with Rarity and Rainbow Dash, and Frank is in one with Fluttershy and Applejack. "Yes it is! It has a thousand years of history!" Twilight said proudly. From here, I could see countless ponies wearing fancy clothes while keeping their noses in the air, as they looked down upon others. After another minute, we touched down on what appeared to be a landing pad coming out of the massive castle. We all exited our carriages, and followed the six ponies, as they were lead by a guard wearing golden armor. I walked slightly closer to Bobby, and asked him about it. "Is that really armor made of gold?" Bobby nodded. "Yes it is. But it seems to have some enchantments on it." We kept on following the six mares, and I noticed a bunch of guards tensing up at the sight of us. As we walked, I heard a loud screaming sound, and we all looked to see a young winged unicorn run up to the six mares, and nuzzle all of them. They were all talking like they knew each other, and eventually the little child noticed us, and hid behind Twilight. Seeing the ponies try to comfort the young filly, I crouched down, and held out my hand. "Hello there." I spoke. "My name's Freddy Fazbear. What's yours?" The little filly looked to the older ponies, who all nodded, and she came out from hiding, before putting her hoof in my hand, and we shook. "S-sunny Day." I gave another smile. "Nice to meet you. Don't worry about any of us. It's impossible for any of us to harm a child. These are my friends Bonnie, Chica, and Foxy." I gestured to the three behind me. The filly looked curious about that. "You mean you're the Freddy Fazbear and friends? The ones in the new pizza places? You don't quite look like the ones I've seen." I kept my smile up, even though that bothered me. 'There's still Freddy Fazbears around.' "Those places are based off of us. Old age doesn't go well with metal skin and gears." "Who ya calling old?!" I heard Claire yell, as she banged me on the head. I just gave Claire a dirty look, before turning to Twilight, who was watching as Sunny Day was talking to Frank. "Who exactly is that, and why is she an alicorn like you?" I asked, thinking that only Celestia, Luna, and Cadance were the only other alicorns. "That's Princess Sunny Day. She's Princess Celestia's daughter." I had a blank look on my face as I stared at the little filly with a white coat, and a fiery orange mane. "Hmm... That makes sense why you didn't mention her with the other princesses. She's not quite a princess, but is one because of her blood." Twilight nodded, and I walked back to Sunny Day. "Hey Sunny. We have to go and see your mother about something important. Maybe later my friends and I will be able to play with you?" She quickly nodded, and we started to continue walking, until I felt something land on my head. I noticed my friends were quietly laughing, and I looked up as much as I could to see Sunny Day sitting on top my head. I picked her up, and held her in my arms. "You're not used to this height are you?" Sunny shook her head. "Mommy doesn't always let me on her head, and even then, I'm not this high off the ground. I'm not able to fly yet, so I always love being this high." I smiled at that, feeling something warm my nonexistent heart since Button Mash died. We kept walking until we reached two large doors, where we stopped. "Princess Celestia is currently out, but Princess Luna is available." A guard said, and Twilight used her magic to open the doors. Once we all entered, we saw a tall blue alicorn with a weird mane that is moving in an invisible wind. She had a bored expression on her face, until she saw Twilight and her friends, and then that smile went away, when she saw us. "MONSTER! THOU DARE TO EAT OUR NIECE! THOU WILT BE SENT TO OUR MOON!" The blue alicorn fired a spell at me, which I managed to prevent hitting Sunny by turning around, and allowing the spell to hit my back. I felt it sizzle out like the last time Twilight tried teleporting us. But the strange thing is that I didn't feel my mind being taken over by the need to protect Sunny. 'Am I gaining control?' I gently put Sunny down, before turning around, and doing my best He-Man impression on the princess's magic beam. And by He-Man impression, I mean I upper-cutted the beam, completely shattering it. Before the princess could do anything else, Twilight and her friends stopped her. "Luna! Stop! They're friends!" Princess Luna floated down to the ground, and looked between Twilight and I curiously. "You know these four monsters, Twilight?" "Yes! They're our friends! They're the four we brought here to talk about the incident in Ponyville! They're the only ones who have the knowledge about the recent incidents as well!" Twilight quickly explained, which caused Princess Luna's eyes to widen, as she looked at us. "I'm sorry for attacking you. I thought you were trying to harm our... my niece." Her ears were folded against her head. I raised my eyebrow. "You thought we were trying to harm your niece, even though we managed to get this far into a castle that's filled with guards, and six ponies who from what I hear, defend the country countless times and didn't even bat an eye at the fact that we were holding your niece?" Princess Luna looked speechless at that. "I-I have no excuse for what I did. I'm sorry." My face softened at that. "Okay. I forgive you. But you should be careful. If your teleportation actually worked, you would have sent your niece to the destination as well as us." Princess Luna looked shocked. "Oh Faust! You're right!" Before Princess Luna could realize her mistake any more, a door opened, and a large white alicorn with a flowing pastel mane walked out. She looked at Twilight, and smiled. "Twilight, my student! I trust your doing well?" Twilight ran up to the pony I could assume was Princess Celestia, before nuzzling her. "I'm doing fine, Princ- I mean Celestia." Right after she said that, Sunny came running over, and got nuzzled by Princess Celestia as well. "Mommy!" "Hello Sunny." Princess Celestia said with a bigger smile, before turning to us, and she lost her smile. "I assume you are Freddy Fazbear?" "In ways." I responded. "I'm Fredrick, but some call my Freddy Fazbear. And I assume you are Princess Celestia?" She nodded. "How do I know you weren't the one to harm the one known as Button Mash?" Her tone got a lot darker. I heard Princess Luna gasp, as if she knew the young Button Mash. I was going to respond, but a glowing light within my suit, decided to show up. "Ugh, not now." I groaned, before the original Freddy took control. "Because I suspect that is the reason we are here. It seems too great a coincidence for four people to get transformed into some of the few enemies of the killer." 'At least I have partial control now.' Both Princesses looked surprised at the other voice. "Why is there another voice coming from you? And why is there a glowing light inside you?" "I am the one that came before. I was one of the murderers original victims, back in my world." I managed to force him back down. "You already got your turn. Stop hijacking my body before I bury yours and leave both of us to die." I threatened, and the light dimmed. I turned to the princesses. "Sorry about that. It's hard sharing a body like that. The voice your hearing now is coming from a memory chip in my head. The voice that comes with the light is the voice of the soul that's allowing my body to move around without being in the restaurants." Both princesses were still confused. "Anyways, can you tell me everything? About this murderer and how many victim he's seemed to have taken?" I nodded my head, and all four of us began our story again, and included the description of the Purple Guy. After telling them that story, we were lead to some kind of lounge, where we're waiting as all three princesses went over this information in another room. I heard Claire sigh loudly. "I miss having normal emotions." We all gave sounds of agreement at that. "These fake ones make everything depressing." Frank pointed out, before looking to Bobby. "Do you think you can try to fix this so we have our full minds back? Complete with emotions? It would make living in this body easier." Bobby nodded. "It make take a while. This place is pretty confusing. They have some basic machines, but they live in medieval times as well! It make take a while to build one, but I could probably do it." "Good. but if you need any help, don't hesitate to ask us." I reminded him, but before he could respond we heard a loud yawn, and we all turned to see Sunny just yawning as she tried to blink sleep out of her eyes so she can read a book. I slowly got up from my chair, picked up the little filly, and started rocking her in my arms, as I sang the Toreador March, until she fell asleep. A few minutes after she fell asleep, Claire whispered to us. "How is that song even relaxing to children in this world?" I shrugged. "Maybe it's the foreknowledge of the song that makes it scary to us?" I was able to both speak and continue singing the song. I kept singing even after I heard the door open, and all three princesses came out. I noticed both Celestia and Luna blinked in surprise at the sight of the big scary looking robot bear singing to a filly. I noticed Celestia start to smile, before she walked over. I cut off the song, and stared at her, before gently handing her the young filly, which she rested upon her back. "I'm amazed you managed to put her to sleep like that. She would only fall asleep in either Luna's or I's care." Celestia suddenly looked like she realized something. "Are you a parent in your world?" My eyes widened, and I would have been reduced to an emotional wreck, if I still could, I could only look sad due to only having synthesized emotions. My friends quickly ran over, and tried to calm me down. Frank looked to Celestia, and decided to explain it. "Yes, Freddy was. But it's a long and sad tale. It would be better to tell it at a later time. We should be getting the young one to bed." I started to calm down, and I unclenched my fists. "Yes we should. It would be uncomfortable to sleep on a hard or semi-soft surface." Celestia nodded in agreement, and as the three ponies walked ahead, my friends stayed behind to make sure I was okay. "Do you want to talk about it?" Claire asked as she put her hand on my shoulder. I sighed. "What's there to talk about? You were all there when it happened. I've had a few years to recover. It's just that the princess reminded me of what happened. Now let's go." My friends all looked at me worried, before they started to catch up to the ponies. When the room was clear, I closed my eyes, remembering every moment clearly. "You promised. I hope you got what you deserved." I was leaning against the wall of the bedroom given to us by the princesses. It's a pretty fancy room, but it only has one big bed that none of us would sleep on due to being unable to sleep. It's getting pretty late into the night, around midnight if the clock is to be trusted. Bobby was finishing up to daily repairs on Frank, as we like to make sure our bodies will keep working, so we've been using the night to repair. Eventually, we heard some knocking on the door, and I walked over and opened it up, to see Luna waiting by the door. "Is there something I can help you with?" I asked. She looked like she was going to say one thing, but quickly changed her mind. She coughed into her hoof, before speaking. "Yes, I was wondering if you were having any trouble sleeping? Witnessing a murder first hand couldn't have been easy." "We've all seen murder before. Plus we don't sleep. Lack the capacity to. Why do you ask, specifically mentioning sleeping?" I was getting suspicious. Luna looked surprised before dismissing it. "Oh, I was just worried about you four. You seem to be our greatest lead in stopping the killer you've dubbed Purple Guy." 'She's lying about why she's here.' "So, do you want to come in or something?" I asked, moving out of the way for the princess to enter. Once she did, she gasped in surprise as she saw Frank without his head on, or his chest plate. "Did you not believe us when we said we are machines?" Bobby asked, not looking up from his work. "Or are you surprised that we have dead bodies inside us?" "But I thought you were lying! A creature made entirely of metal that controls itself with something that isn't magic! Preposterous!" 'Good, she still remembers why we need the dead bodies inside of us.' I was glad she wasn't trying to remove the bodies. Probably due to the actions of the original victims to enforce this fact in their heads. "Our original kind said the same thing about landing on the moon. Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, and that other guy showed them." Bobby pointed out. "Our original kind thought harnessing the power of the sun would be impossible. We invented a weapon that burns hotter than any sun, and dropped it twice. Our original kind thought space was the final frontier. It's not. Thanks to a temporary opening to the spirit world, we can now see loved ones even after they die. We were colonizing other versions of our planet, and befriending similar ones with like-minded humans." Luna was about to say something, but Frank cut her off. Even though his head isn't on. "Yes, we have landed on our moon. Hell, we've even begun terra-forming it, and colonizing it!" He said proudly. Luna was shocked at this. "But everything you're saying should be impossible!" I shook my head. "Nothing is impossible. That's something you learn when your body is forcibly changed into a machine that is known for killing security guards." I was about to say something else, when I heard something familiar. "Guys, do you hear that?" All sound in the room stopped, as we listened for the sound. When we managed to hear it, we instantly recognized it. Bobby quickly got to work putting Frank back together. "I don't understand, what is that sound?" Luna asked. "It's the sound of the Puppet from FNAF 2! If the music runs out, then usually the guard is killed!" I quickly explained. Luna went into thought for a moment. "Hmm, I remember Sunny recently getting a music box that played this tune, but when it stopped, it didn't kill anypony." "Maybe the killing part activates at night?!" Claire suggested. "If she had it playing at some point at night, then when it stops, it might kill her!" Luna had a look of determination on her face. "I shall stop this threat!" She then flashed out of the room. I turned to my friends. "What do we do? This wasn't part of the script?!" I held out a packet of paper that clearly told us everything we needed to do and say. "Just play along. I'm sure everything will fix itself." Bobby assured me. I leaned back against the wall, listening closely to everything around me. It sounded like the song is about to end. In three...two...one...now! Right as the song ended, the closet next to me quickly opened, and the puppet burst out, holding it's hands in the air, before yelling. "Boo!" We all just stared at it, as it went back inside the closet. Curiously, I opened the closet, and the puppet yelled 'Boo!' again. I closed the doors, and turned to my friends. "I don't think the puppet is a threat." > Animatronics and Aliens > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- I did a quick stretch, making sure my joints were all working properly. After that, I rolled my shoulders and my arms, and heard the familiar soft sounds of the gears and mechanisms moving. “Thanks Bobby.” I said with a nod of my head. We got back to Ponyville in the middle of the night, after staying a full uneventful day at the castle. Well, it wasn’t all uneventful. We met a strange chimera creature named Discord, who Bobby scared off, as he wanted to know how a creature like that existed. Discord eventually tried to get rid of him by spawning stuff, and throwing it as us, and one of the objects hit my shoulder, breaking off my arm. It quickly reappeared on my shoulder, but it didn’t seem to be working properly, so Bobby fixed it when we got back to Ponyville. “No problem Freddy.” He flickered for a couple of seconds, as he quickly teleported himself and his repair stuff to wherever he keeps it. While he was doing that, I decided to walk about town, maybe say hi to some of the kids. But I wasn’t too far awya from the castle, when I heard a bunch of commotion coming from the center of town. I quickly teleported over, to see something that shocked me. It appeared to be Bobby, Claire, and I all entertaining kids, and playing some music. But there was a key difference in all of them. They were all the toy animatronics. As I kept examining them, a small colt came running up to me. “Hey mister Freddy! Aren’t these new guys just the coolest?!” I didn’t know what to say to that. These three animatronics should be just as deadly as my friends and I. But what if they were like me and my friends, and just got displaced as the toy animatronics? Deciding to confront them, I calmly walk forward, the crowds of ponies moving out of the way. When I got close enough, the three toys noticed me, and stopped playing, and just stared at me. “We should introduce ourselves. My name is Freddy Fazbear, the bear the restaurant and the games get their name from.” I mentioned the game, to see if they were from Earth. The three animatronics laughed. “What are you doing here, old man?! You should have been scrapped long ago!” To my surprise, they didn’t seem to be speaking English at this point, but instead were speaking in binary. “Says the animatronics that were only around in the ‘80s.” I retorted, not liking these guys one bit. “Speaking of the ‘80s. Where the hell is Foxy?” The animatronics looked confused. “Foxy? Isn’t that one of yours, old man? We don’t have any kind of Foxy in our group.” That made me curious. They should know that Mangles is Toy Foxy. I opened my mouth to say something else, but Claire and Frank came running up to me. "Freddy! I think... oh, you found them already." Claire mentioned, clearly talking about how I was talking to the toy animatronics. I spared a quick look at the toy animatronics, and then looked back to my friends, only to point my head to a place away from the toys' hearing. We quickly walked over, and spoke in low tones. "I don't quite trust these toy animatronics." "Well, we don't know that they're evil. They could just be people just like ourselves. Displaced in this world as emotionless monsters." Frank said, trying to act angry and failing. "I'm sorry that we lack emotions other than the fake ones we have programmed in. Bobby is trying his best to build a better AI system for us." I responded. "Also, I'm pretty sure those toy animatronics are evil, as they purposefully spoke in binary, just so others wouldn't understand what they were saying, and they said 'they didn't have any kind of Foxy in their group.' They would know that Mangles is a form of Foxy, so I doubt they are Displaced, and I think they're hiding Mangles." "Well, we can't attack them, because we have no proof of this, and we'll appear to be jealous monsters." Claire pointed out. "Maybe we could tell our suspicions to Twilight, and she will help us." "No. That never works in TV shows. They'll just think we're jealous, and not believe us until the toys reveal their true nature." I said, before resting my head on my hand, as I think. After a minute, I snapped my fingers with an idea. "Got it!" "So, why are we here?" Bobby asked, as all four of us stood outside of Ponyville on a hill. "Well, I thought of a solution to help us take care of the toy animatronics." I reached into my pocket dimension, before pulling out a small leather bag. "We'll summon a Displaced!" "Are you sure about this?" Frank asked. "We've only met Golden Freddy, and we don't know if any other Displaced are good or not." "It'll be fine. We know the code to send them back, and we're virtually indestructible with our healing powers." I closed my eyes, and reached into the bag, before pulling out a small token that looked like a white 'v' on an orange circle, with a blue triangle in the middle. Ignoring what the token was saying, I held it up, and spoke. "I don't know who this token belongs to, but we need your help, so I summon you to our world!" Suddenly, there was a bright flash of light, and a strange purple creature landed on the ground, along with a tall muscular man, a blue lizard-like creature, a small red creature with long white hair, and a small green four-eyed creature. They were all wearing similar armor, with the same symbol as the token on them. The light quickly faded, and the creatures started speaking. "Ugh. What the hell?" The purple creature moaned, as it turned it's head, and looked to see what was on it's back. "Recoome, get the hell off of me." The creature called Recoome shot up, and jumped into the air, before flipping, and landing on his feet, and striking a pose. And because of what 'Recoome' did, the other creatures were knocked off of the purple alien-looking dude. The purple alien got up, and looked around, before locking eyes with us. The orange one decided to speak up. "Oi Captain. Where in the blazes are we?" The orange creature spoke in an Australian accent, "I think we might have gotten summoned." The purple alien responded, keeping an eye on us. Then, it cupped it's hands around it's mouth, before speaking up. "Hey! Did you four summon us?!" "Uhh... yes?" I put my hand on the back of my head, as I started chuckling. "Sorry. This is the first time we've summoned someone to our world. We didn't quite expect to summon five aliens." "Hey! Aliens is a very rude term. Technically, you four are also aliens!" The green creature yelled, clearly offended. I noticed a flicker to my side, and watched as Bobby teleported in front of the green creature, who freaked out. "GAH!" The green creature suddenly disappeared, and reappeared a few yards away from it's original point. "How did you do that? It clearly wasn't Instant Transmission, and you didn't run, as there didn't seem to be an after-effect with the wind blasting right after you stopped. It was almost like you just teleported." The purple horned creature asked Bobby. "Of course I did. It would be impossible for a living being, or even a machine my size to move at faster than light speeds." Bobby responded, before the purple creature appeared right in front of him, making Bobby take a step back in surprise, before the wind caught up, and blew upon both of them. "What was that about it being impossible?" The purple creature said with a smug smile. Bobby quickly teleported back over to us. "Guys, did you see that? It was like the creature just moved at faster-than-light speeds, like it was nothing! I couldn't even see it move. That should be impossible!" Bobby whispered to us. "Well, they are from another universe. Who knows what they got Displaced as." Claire reminded. I took a quick peek over to the group of five, to see them talking amongst each other. "We should try to be nice. We still need their help." I pointed out, and my friends nodded, before we teleported closer to the five aliens, who just saluted, except for the purple one, and turned to look at us, only to be shocked by us being closer. I walked up to them, and extended my hand/paw. "I'm sorry for my friend's actions. My name is Freddy Fazbear, and these are my friends. The yellow chicken is Chica. The blue bunny is Bonnie. And the fox pirate is Foxy." I gestured to each of my friends as I spoke their names. The purple alien blinked in surprise, before speaking. "Men." He smirked, as he looked over his shoulder at the other four aliens. "Introductions." "So..." Captain Ginyu took another sip of his tea. He and his friends introduced themselves by doing a series of... interesting dances, as they shouted their names. We've already told them why we summoned them, and we were currently sitting at a table at one of the diners in Ponyville, eating some lunch. Well, they were, as we weren't able to. I noticed a lot of ponies staring at us, confused by the strange aliens. "These 'toy' versions of you seem to be evil, but you're not sure, and everyone thinks your jealous, even as you explain to them that they're as lethal as you four are?" I nodded my head. "That's right Captain." Captain Ginyu chuckled. "You don't have to call me that. Just Ginyu will do." He quickly finished off his tea and salad. "So, what do you want us to do about this?" "You might be able to find information about them that we can't. Last time we dealt with a hostile animatronic, we kinda almost got killed by the one creature that can do that." I answered, clearly remembering our encounter with Purple Guy. "Plus nine heads are better than four. And we have no idea where Mangles is, and we know he has to be here, as he's apart of the toy's group. They've played innocent in front of others, but they've spoken in different robot languages to prevent others from realizing their plans." "I think they might want us to attack them first, making us seem like the bad guys. But since you don't have the same convictions as we do, you can attack them, and not damage your reputations in this world, as you don't really have one, due to being an unknown variable." Bobby added. The cup Ginyu's tea was in shattered into little pieces even though he wasn't even holding it. "Wait a minute. You're making this seem rather sketchy. Like we're a bunch of mercenaries that you can just hire to kill others! We don't kill without reason." Jeice said, getting angry, as he slammed his fists into the table. We all looked surprised at that. "Oh, you must misunderstand us. We would be the ones to disable the toy animatronics. But we're not entirely sure ourselves that they're evil. We think they are, but we need proof before we kill them, so we don't appear to be monsters." I clarified. Ginyu sighed in relief, before slowly standing up. "We'll do what we can." Ginyu turned to the other aliens, who have started to get up as well. "Men, get as much information, as discreetly as possible. Guldo and Recoome, I want you guys to keep an eye on the children in the schoolyard. If these animatronics have a lot to do with kids, I want you two to protect them and Guldo can use his powers to see if any are being stalked. They would most likely be shaken up badly. Perhaps having nightmares. Jeice and Burter, follow the three toy animatronics, but stay hidden. If you do get discovered by them, I leave it up to you for your cover. I will stay with these four, making sure they won't get attacked if the toys decide to sneak attack them." As he was saying this, I noticed that he had some compassion and loyalty in his eyes, showing that he cares as much for his team as they do him. "Yes sir, Captain!" They all yelled at once, before saluting, and flying off quickly to perform their duties. Ginyu turned around to face us, as we stood up. "Those four really trust you, don't they?" I asked. Ginyu had a big smile on his face, as it looked like he was remembering his past. "Yeah. While I am their captain, they all know we are all equals. We've been friends since we were in elementary school. It's a shame none of us can remember our original names." All four of us were surprised at hearing that. Sure, we aren't exactly human anymore, with these bodies, and lack of emotions, but not being able to remember your human names? That sounds terrible. "You don't even remember your original names?" Claire asked, trying to confirm this. Ginyu shook his head sadly. "Nope. It was quite hectic the first few years we arrived. We all remembered each other, but none of us remembered our original names, so we started calling each other by the characters we became. While we can't remember our names, we do remember what we were like back then. But, that part of ourselves is buried under out multiple personalities." 'Multiple personalities? We only have to deal with the original dead children, along with ourselves. How many do they have to deal with?' Frank was thinking the same thing, as he asked about the multiple personalities. "We have a personality for each version of us from our world. I have Funimation, TFS, Kai, Ocean Dub, and original Japanese all in my brain, along with my original one. I constantly change between personalities on a regular basis. Luckily, the Ocean Dub is easily repressed, as none of us like that one." He had a weak smile on his face. "So that explains why your voices kept on changing! You kept on switching the way you sounded while speaking!" Bobby pointed out, and I nodded in agreement, as I was confused why their voices changed every once in a while. "Oh, I still do that? We all stopped noticing after a while." Ginyu gave a tired look. He then coughed into his hand, as he gestured away from the diner. "Should we be on our way? We don't want to look too suspicious." We've been walking through the town for a while, and Ginyu was telling us that in his world, people can use their body's natural energy to do various stuff, like flying, or making yourself stronger. "So, you have all these strange powers? Where you use your actual life energy to fight others?" Claire asked Ginyu, as we were walking through the town. "Well, our blasts are actually made of plasma, and are in fact solid objects." Ginyu responded. "But we do use our own energy to create the plasma, and keep it together." He suddenly looked like he thought of something. "You four seem to have some sort of strange power as well. It's definitely not ki or magic, but I can still feel it's presence." Well, we use spiritual energy. We mostly use it to stay active, as without it, we would deactivate or something, as we don't have this place in our programming." I answered, and before anyone could say anything else, the other four aliens appeared next to Ginyu. "Captain!" They all exclaimed, and Ginyu sighed, before pointing to Guldo and Recoome. "We spied on the children at the school, and found out that one in particular, Sweetie Belle, was having serious nightmares that past two days. It barely took any mental prodding to figure out that they were about a strange spider-like creature with two heads, and a wiry body." Guldo reported. Right as he said that, us four animatronics froze up, as we quickly recognized the description. I leaned over toy my friends. "Mangles. It has to be." "But why would Mangles be appearing in Sweetie Belle's nightmares?" Claire asked. "Most likely Mangles has been appearing in her room, doing something, so maybe Mangles will appear again?" Bobby pointed out. We quieted down to hear what Burter and Jeice were going to say. "As we followed the three animatronics, we watched them meet up with the two fillies, Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon, and offer them pizza. The fillies surprisingly and quickly took the pizza, before eating it, and their pupils grew, as their personality seemed to change. We think it's some kind of mind control or mind alteration." Jeice said. "Mind alteration? What use would they have for that?" Frank asked. "Maybe they're thinking that if they get all the ponies to love them, they'll be able to make us seem like monsters?" I suggested, and noticed Ginyu was about to ask a question. "So, what are you going to do?" Ginyu asked. We all shared a look amongst each other, making sure we were going with this idea. We looked back to Ginyu, and I responded. "We imagine that Mangles might show up to Sweetie Belle's house, so we should be there to stop it. We need to destroy all four of them, before they harm anymore children." Ginyu nodded his head. "Then, we'll meet you outside the Carousel Boutique later this night?" 'Carousel Boutique? That's where Rarity lives. Sweetie Belle lives with her parents. Oh, different universes.' I shook my head. "No, Sweetie Belle doesn't live with her sister, she lives with her parents." Ginyu looked slightly surprised by this fact. "Can you tell us where to find her house? We never needed to know this in our world." As night came, we were all hiding out in the bushes near Sweetie Belle's house. ""So, what kind of powers should we expect?" Ginyu asked. I shrugged. "We don't quite know. They could have similar powers to us, or they could have their own set of powers. but if they do have our powers, then they would be virtually indestructible, as they can regenerate from any wound. They would also be able to jumpscare, and use spiritual energy for various tasks. They would also be able to... teleport." Right as I said that, I had a look of realization on my face, and all nine of us teleported into the room, to see Mangles hanging on the ceiling above Sweetie Belle's bed. Sweetie Belle had a terrified look on her face, as spirit energy left her body, and went straight into Mangles. Before any of us could do anything, Ginyu rushed forward, and punched Mangles' masked head, sending it flying through the wall and out into Ponyville. Ginyu quickly followed after it and landed on the ground with a thud, before quickly blocking Mangles' tackle. The rest of the Ginyu Force teleported after their captain, but we quickly ran over to Sweetie Belle, to make sure she was alright. "Hey Sweetie Belle, are you alright? Answer me!" I spoke frantically, as I tried to make sure she was alright. "What in Equestria was that?!" She asked, as she took deep breaths. "A monster. Don't worry, we'll take care of it." I put my hand on her forehead, and my hand glowed white, as I transferred some of my spirit energy over to her, as her's was mostly gone, leaving her on the cuspid of death. As Sweetie Belle started to breath normally, I looked to my friends, and we all nodded, before teleporting out into the battle field. We quickly arrived in time to see Toy Freddy remove his hand from Ginyu's chest. "Captain!" All four aliens yelled out, as Jeice pulled something out of his armor, before running over to Ginyu, and shoving the fruit looking object down his throat. Then, to everyone's surprise, Ginyu got back up, as his wound healed up, leaving only a large scar, which was covered up as his armor repaired itself. Needless to say, every animatronics in the area was shocked. "H-how! I destroyed your heart! You should be dead! What are you?" Toy Freddy shouted. Ginyu smiled. "You want to know who I am? I am the illustrious Captain Ginyu!" He then struck a pose which caused a strange energy to surround him. "And you are dead!" Ginyu charge forward faster than light, and all I saw was a bright flash of light envelop Toy Chica, and the other animatronics fall down. Toy Freddy had a huge hole in his chest, Toy Bonnie was missing his head, and both of Mangles' heads were broken to pieces. "There. That wasn't so tough." "We aren't done yet." Toy Freddy's voice spoke up, and we all turned to see Toy Freddy, Toy Bonnie, and Mangles glowing with a white light, as they rebuild themselves, slowly. We just watched as they slowly rebuild themselves, and the Ginyu Force not doing anything about it. "Why aren't you attacking them?! Now's the perfect chance!" I yelled at them. I couldn't believe how they were just letting them rebuild themselves. "Sorry. Not allowed to. Anime rules, we can't attack someone while powering up, or regenerating, or anything else." Ginyu replied, as we continued to watch them regenerate slowly. "Do you four regenerate this slowly?" We shook our heads. "Nope. Ours is almost instantaneous." Bobby replied. "Oh, screw this." Frank yelled, before pushing past us, and slamming his hook into Toy Bonnie's head, before ripping it open, and pulling out what looked like a mangled corpse of a child, and then creating a giant hole with his white energy, before tossing in the body, and covering it with dirt. The pieces of Toy Bonnie shuttered, before a white spirit came out of the grave, and flew into the sky, before dissipating. Frank quickly moved over to Toy Freddy, and was about to do the same, but was quickly grabbed by Mangles, and thrown across the town. Toy Freddy finished regenerating, and looked around. "Where's Toy Chica?" "Disintegrated by an energy blast from Ginyu." Bobby answered, pointing to a pile of ashes. "I guess it works as good as burying the bodies." Toy Freddy and Mangles had a look of rage on their faces, and charged at Ginyu at the same time. He fired a quick blast at Mangles, disintegrating her(?), before firing one at Toy Freddy, who teleported out of the way, and quickly appeared behind Ginyu, about to kill him again, when Jeice kicked him in the face, and sent him flying into another house. "We always have your back, Captain." Jeice said, and Ginyu smiled. "I know you do, and I always have all of yours." We all turned to face Toy Freddy, who was climbing out of the rubble, as his head started regenerating. We could briefly see the metal endoskeleton, as it was quickly covered by the Toy Freddy suit. "I WILL MURDER YOU, AND FEAST ON YOUR CORPSES! NO ONE MESSES WITH ME! TOY FREDDY FAZBEAR!" He screamed, and was about to charge at us, but stopped when he heard voices, and looked around our battlefield, to see everypony in Ponyville watching, as they realize that the toy animatronics were evil. Toy Freddy looked back at us, and his eyes turned black, with white pinpricks. "YOU WILL DIE!" He started running at Ginyu, but Recoome quickly got in front of him. "Don't worry Captain, I got this." He got into a pose, and suddenly Ginyu grabbed all of us, and threw us away from Recoome. "ERASER GUN!" The second he yelled those words, a huge beam fired out of his mouth and headed straight for Toy Freddy, who's reaction time was too small to dodge, and kept going. Unfortunately, one pony quickly got in the way of the beam. I recognized the mint-colored pony, but didn't know her name. Ginyu quickly moved his fingers to his forehead, and tapped it, before quickly moving to get the unicorn, but he was too slow, as he got there in time to watch as the mare was turned to nothing in the blast. "NO!" He yelled, as he fired a blast at Recoome's beam, destroying it, and allowing him to safely run over to the charred ashes of an innocent pony. "DARN IT!" He yelled, tears in his eyes. His sadness quickly turned to anger, as he looked over to where Toy Freddy was, and saw as he regenerated from the smallest part of him left intact. This time though, he regenerated quicker than before. Ginyu was surrounded by a bright flash, and when it cleared, he was surrounded by a yellow aura, and flew at Toy Freddy. Next thing we know, Toy Freddy is dust, falling to the ground, dead. Ginyu's aura faded, and he fell to his knees, as he started to cry. We watched for a few minutes as Ginyu sat there, crying over the loss of the pony, but eventually Jeice walked up to him, and put his hand on his shoulder. "Come on, Cap. Crying about it won't make it better. We tried our best, and that has to count for something, right?" Ginyu took a deep breath, clearly trying to calm down. "It's just that we promised to never harm an innocent. To protect them with our lives. I thought we could change from our old ways. I thought we would stop all the unnecessary destruction." "Sometimes, the good of the many outweigh the good of the few." Bobby spoke up, as we walked over. "If Recoome didn't... whatever he did, Toy Freddy might have done something worse." Ginyu slowly got to his feet, and looked at all of his men and all of us. "But still, we killed someone. We could have found a way not to harm anyone else." "Look, it's our problem. We'll deal with it. Why don't you four head back to your universe? You've helped us plenty enough." I said, as I handed him our token, which he stuffed somewhere, before snapping his fingers, and creating an explosion nearby. "Sorry about that. Couldn't let Toy Freddy get away alive." He said with a small smile on his face. "Well, do you mind sending us back? I don't know how much time has passed in our world." I had a small smile on my own face. "Our contract is complete. Call us if you ever need us." A bright flash surrounded the Ginyus, and they disappeared from this universe. I take a deep breath, and look around, noticing the small amount of destruction, and the confused and worried ponies. "We'd better go explain this to Twilight." Bobby moaned. "How are we going to explain this one?" Frank asked. "We'll figure out a way." I responded. A creature watched with a huge grin on their face, as their spell showed them the recent victory of the four animatronics, and this 'Ginyu Force.' "Looks like it's time to set my plan in motion. I can't wait to see the shocked looks on their faces when I murder them all!" The creature said, gleefully. > Freddy Wasn't Ready > --------------------------------------------------------------------------         I was sucked through the Void faster than usual, probably due to me being made of shadowstuff at the moment, and then gushed out another portal into a new location, which I had to solidify to get a good look at. ‘Whew, this new prolonged shadow-form is useful, and fun! No wonder Nightmare Moon loved that spell.’         ‘Well that’s interesting, you’re not vengeful on thoughts of Nightmare, even though you’re mostly Luna than Dox at the moment.’         ‘Hey, she might’ve been evil, but the Nightmare had at least some inspired ideas. I mean, thanks to her memories, I’m actually improving with some of my travelling techniques. My shadow teleport is now completely untraceable and cannot be denied! ‘Tis amazing!’ I thought back at Recall, my dock cheerfully wiggling, sending my ether tail rapidly wavering.         ‘Not to mention that form’s nigh-invulnerability. Now where are we?’ Recall asked, drawing my attention away from my self-reflection and making me blink.         ‘Come to think of it, I think we’re somewhere in Ponyville.’ I thought in response. ‘Yeah, look. See all the ponies run from us? And over there, three ponies with flower cutie marks fainted on the road. And over there’s the Crystal Castle!’         “Hey you! What do you think you’re doing?!” A scratchy voice called out, easily Rainbow Dash’s. Rainbow Dash quickly flew up, along with Fluttershy, who was trying to hide behind her mane. “Are you planning on attacking Ponyville?! Because I won’t let you!” She got into a fighting pose, preparing for an attack, adorably moving her forehooves in a manner like fisticuffs.         “And if we were? You would stop us? Thou must be joking.” Doxuna laughed. “Thou art adorable Little Pegasus.” We said as we snatched her in our magic and nuzzled her, causing her to blush and try to push away.         “No, if you were to attack Ponyville, we would stop you. Now I suggest putting down my friend, and telling us who you are.” A mechanical voice spoke from behind.         “We will put her down when she stops being cute. Which will be never. Rainbow Dash is ALL the snuggles!” We kissed her head, making the mare turn from cyan to scarlet and we giggled. Moments after she was suddenly grabbed by a purple flicker, and then vanished straight out of our magical grip, making us blink at the force suddenly being gone, and we spun around to see a peculiar sight.         “You okay Rainbow Dash?” A brown robotic bear asked in a softer tone, as it looked at Rainbow Dash, with a worried look.         “Yeah, I’ll be fine. Just gotta take a shower as soon as I get home. Yuck. I can’t believe whatever it is kissed me on the head. That’s disgusting with how big she is.” Rainbow rapidly shook her entire body, as if trying to remove imaginary saliva.         “You can go home. Thanks for buying time for us to get here. But we might need you again if the problem gets too severe.” Rainbow Dash nodded, before flying off.         “Aw, we wanted snuggles….” We whined, only to magically grab an ‘EEP’-ing Fluttershy and and scratch her behind the ears gently. “Art we that terrifying fair Fluttershy?”         “Y-yes.” She meeped out. “I don’t really like being ear-raped.”         “Raped? How dare you accuse us of-... Oh, wait. We are deeply sorry.” We said, putting dear Fluttershy down. “We have forgotten what it is like to be scratched there with your type of body structure. We are sorry.”         Fluttershy ran away quicker than the eye could follow. “So, now that you don’t have any more ponies in your grasp, can you please tell us who you are?” The brown bear asked.         “Let us answer your question with a question.” We said. “The real question is; who aren’t we?” We mocked as we turned into a giant version of the yellow chicken robot. “Huh...even synthetic? Cool!” “So, are you a phantom or something? Because we recently dealt with the toy versions of us, and I guess it is about time for FNAF 3 enemies to show up.” The brown bear asked, not amused. “Naw, I’m no phantom hun, ya got nothing to worry about on the ghostly front from me. Well, aside from my shadow form...am I technically a ghost when I’m a living shadow?” I asked, feeling weird, a bit lost. “Trick question. Shadows can’t live.” The purple bunny-like creature said with a smug smile. “The only way it would work is if they have a core or something that controls the shadow, but isn’t really a shadow. Like a machine that controls thousands of tiny microbots.” The three creatures next to the bunny all sighed, putting their heads into their hands, except for the fox, who poked it’s eye with it’s hook. “That’s too weird to consider, I’ll just keep calling it a living shadow then.” I said. “So. Which one of you is going to give me snuggles? You kind of interrupted a bunch of my fun, which isn’t cool. While I’m on that subject, who are you all?” Right after I asked that, a strange music box started playing, and the four creatures all sighed, holding their heads in their hands, until the strange music ended, and a strange black and white puppet like creature popped out of thin air, appearing in my face, and yelling ‘Boo!’ in an adorable voice. “How cute!” I said, grabbing the puppet as it jumped at me and giving it a tight squeeze. “Well that worked.” The yellow chicken-thing said, surprised. “You asked us who we are? My name is Freddy Fazbear, and these are my friends, Bonnie, Chica, and Foxy. Now, I’ve told you our names, it would be only polite for you to do the same.” The brown bear said, a small tone of anger in it’s voice. “I’m Doxuna.” I answered as I returned to normal, releasing the extremely lanky puppet from my hug to hold it at arm’s length. “And who art thou? We suspect thou art like these others.” “That’s Marionette, but we just call him Puppet. He’s not really one of us, he just likes to pop out at random, and say ‘boo.’” Foxy spoke up, and sadly didn’t use a pirate accent, despite it’s current appearance. “Well that’s fine and all, but why is there such a panic so soon? Last time I was in a public place like this, at least most ponies were curious rather than outright terrified.” We commented as we moved the very tall and lanky Puppet up onto our shoulder, being sure to avoid shifting our bikini top’s strap. “Well, the last time a creature of unknown origin showed up, it was absorbing the life essence from children, and trying to make us seem like monsters. Before that, it was a creature who killed an innocent child. Before that, it was a giant floating monster who fired lasers at us. So, you might be able to understand why they would be worried about a strange tall creature just showing up in the middle of town, looking vaguely like Princess Luna.” Freddy responded. “Well that is reasonable. Well, anyway, since it seems the locals are all a bit shy right now, could thou tell us a bit about thyselves other than thy names? Perhaps what led thee to coming to us. Just how bad was the panic?” We asked as we began walking, standing still just wasn’t something to consider. “Well, I was born on a Saturday…” Foxy started, before being slapped on the back of the head by Freddy. “Let’s not go that deep, idiot. I suppose what lead us to here was when Twilight told us to come here. I remember it like it was yesterday.” Freddy looked up, as if there was a flashback happening in a thought bubble around his head. “As silly and cute as the idea of a flashback may be, why not just tell us the events that led you to appearing behind us and snatching cute little Dashie from our nuzzles and kisses?” We giggled as the Fredbear blinked up at us. “You can’t see the flashback?” Freddy looked to his friends. “Can you see the flashback?” They all nodded, before Freddy shrugged. “I guess it’s just a part of our connection. But if you want to hear the story, it started with Bonnie giving us a recent upgrade he made. He told us he was able to make a way for us to fly using propulsion systems or something.” “I said it used the spirit energy we generate, and propels it below us, giving us a way to fly, similar to Iron Man’s.” Bonnie responded. “Or something. So, as he was installing the upgrade into me, Twilight Sparkle burst into our room, which is inside her castle, telling us about a giant Princess Luna-like being appearing in town, and how Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy stayed behind to distract it long enough for us to teleport there.” Freddy finished, before having a look of realization across his face, as he looked at the back of his leg. “Speaking of which, Bonnie, you need to finish what you were doing. I don’t like having more weight on one side than the other.” “I’ll get to it when I have my tools. We were in a rush.” I yelped as suddenly Puppet dove hands-first like a diver into my cleavage, but he was just gone before he even touched me, and I blinked, before sputtering out a laugh. “What a comedian! He didn’t even make contact, but the gesture~!” I chortled, pausing in my great strides towards the crystal tree castle-palace-fortress-of-friendship-place. “Usually Puppet disappears after a second. He would jump out, yell ‘boo!’ and then disappear the exact same way he came, in the exact same area.” Chica mentioned. “So he just did something really suggestive out of nowhere? Hmph, must be enamored with us.” We preened with some pride, getting plenty of eye-rolls as we returned to walking towards the giant tree made of gemstone. “That’s not it. The Marionette is actually a very young child. About 7 years old. He honestly had no idea what he just did.” Freddy’s voice changed quickly, as if someone else was speaking through him. “Not you again. Why do you keep showing up? Just leave us. These aren’t your bodies anymore.” Foxy retorted in anger. “Having troubles with the hosts hm? We have seen many Displaced with the same issue.” We commented, now nearing the trunk of the ridiculously giant tree. “How much do you know about who exactly we are? Does Five Nights at Freddy’s ring a bell at all?” Bonnie asked. “Of course it does. Our world may be different, but there are some things that can be the same, or similar. FNAF was quite popular around the time I was Displaced, so I know a good bit. We’re honestly surprised that Marionette is a child and not a malevolent spirit out for vengeance.” We stated as we knocked on the large front doors to the crystal tree. “Well, let’s just say that Five Nights at Freddy’s is the reason why Earth was more advanced than it should be. On the same day we were born, the children who purple guy killed were freed, and were about to have peace, but got sucked into our world due to a tear in the universes. So, their souls got put into our bodies as we were born, and stayed hidden for a few decades. Earth was able to replicate tears, and we developed a love for FNAF, which lead to our displacement, and now the children have their own body again. We get the robot brain, they get the spirit brain.” Bonnie said, and all four of them look sad at their past. “I wish these four didn’t have to experience the terror of the purple guy.” ‘Freddy’ spoke, as the doors opened, showing a shocked Twilight. “Oh she is so cute~!” We cooed as we picked her up despite her yelp of surprise, and nuzzled her. “It’s been so long, we forgot how adorable ponies are as ferals rather than anthros, give us a kiss dear.” We smooshed the protesting mare on the head and continued to nuzzle her, but she was more annoyed than worried, a deadpan expression on her face. “That just sounds wrong, anthro ponies.” Chica shivered. “But that’s what we are.” We pointed out, cocking a hip and putting a hand on it for reference as he levitated Twilight back to the ground. “And we are all anthro versions of a bear, bunny, chicken, and fox. But at least we aren’t exactly living beings.” Chica gestured to her friends. “I mean it’s like a chimera between humans and ponies. If, let’s say Twilight, was anthro, she wouldn’t have the same voice, due to different vocal cords. She would have different pheromones, and other vital stuff like that.” “How can you say that’s correct? How can you say any of it’s correct? Listen to our voice, and compare it to memories of your Luna’s, aren’t we the same?” We said. “You’ll be amazed at what actually changes between feral creatures and anthro ones.” We cheekily stated, pointing to our body in general, and then gesturing down to Twilight, who was taking notes. “Actually, you sound a bit different than the Princess. She has a lighter voice, but a similar tone. You sound like a larger Luna, with a small undertone of a completely different voice. I can sense you have overlapping spirits inside of you, meaning that you have someone else inside of you.” ‘Freddy’ spoke. ‘Oh! Let me out! Can I come out? I’ll be good!’ Recall gushed, glad someone noticed it, making us roll our eyes. “Sure, it’s been a while, and last time we had to shove thee out, even throttle thou. Be a good...perverse...thing.” We said, grabbing onto our midsection, and tearing out a large blob of flesh about the size of a normal pony, before tossing it onto the ground. “Hi!” A voice came from the silvery blob as it quickly formed into a perfect copy of a feral Pinkie Pie. “I’m Recall, I’m so glad to meet you all! Nopony notices me normally. I’m sorta a clone-slash-bastard soul-child of Doxuna’s friend Avarice who she nearly murdered in a rage and almost consumed his/her soul! Which turned into me!” Recall bubbled, before morphing into a fairly normal-height skinny anthro Pinkie wearing a sunny yellow dress, and she curtsied with a giggle. The group of four stared in shock at this, and after a minute, ‘Freddy’ was the first one to speak. “Well, I don’t know how to process this, so good luck man.” Freddy blinked rapidly, before putting a paw on his head, groaning. “That always hurts when he does it. Why does he even need to take control anymore?” Freddy’s jaw dropped when he saw anthro Pinkie. “The hell did I miss?” “That is Recall. He is our friend and companion soul. He helps us remember things we cannot remember.” I stated. “I do believe his form just sort of depends on whoever’s in the area, considering he doesn’t really have control over changing it, to my knowledge. Last time, he was a smaller version of me.” “Can I press your nose?” Recall asked Freddy. “W-what?” Freddy asked, taken back by this question. “Can I. Press. Your nose?” Recall repeated slowly. “It’s a simple question. It just looks like it’d honk if I pressed it.” She giggled as she tried not to explode in boundless energy like the real Pinkie Pie. “Don’t mind him. He may currently have the thought process of the pink monster you call a pony.” I said. “Though, that begs the question, where is she hiding?” “I dunno. She kinda disappeared after a while. Last time I saw her was on our trip to Canterlot. That was a week or two ago.” Freddy shrugged, before looking down at Recall. “I guess if you want to. Never tested it myself.” Freddy bent down, so the 5-something mare could press his nose, and when she eagerly did so, a squeak happened. “Well, if she’s copying her… Then she must be-” “Hey Twilight! I brought pizza! It even has a strange new ingredient on it called Soylent Green! I tried some already, and it tastes delicious!” Pinkie screamed, as she opens the door to the castle, to see everyone currently outside the castle. She noticed me, the piles of paper near Twilight, and Recall, before quietly closing the door. “Oh, she was inside...wait, did you know she was in there?” We asked Twilight who shrugged and just kept taking notes. “Did your nose just squeak?” Foxy asked his friend, who was staring cross-eyed at his nose, before giving it a small tap, and causing another squeak to be heard. “How long has it been able to do that?” Freddy asked. “Since forever silly, duh?” Recall the Anthro Pinkie giggled before she suddenly bubbled again and turned into an anthro Twilight wearing a librarian outfit and glasses. “Darn, it seems Pinkie’s gone out of range. Oh well. So Twilight, how are things?” The primly dressed mare asked as she adjusted her glasses and stretched out her wings on her back idly. “Being somepony else is so frustrating. I remember who I am, but without my own form I’m stuck thinking and acting like the person I’m portraying….” “Interesting, so you’re a doppelganger then?” Twilight hummed as she kept taking notes idly. “How long have we been out here talking about ourselves? Can we please just go inside? I need to finish installing our upgrades.” Bonnie moaned. “Oh fine, big baby bunny. Come Twilight.” We stated as we stepped over everyone and pulled a yelping Twilight along with her notes and entered the large doors, absently closing them and leaving everyone else outside, causing an awkward silence. “Don’t worry about her, she’s just really absent-minded right now.” Recall assured weakly, before suddenly turning into an Anthro Lyra in a sundress, and began blinking. “Lyra’s dead. How do you shapeshift into a dead person?” “I..don’t know-HANDS! I have! HANDS!” She squealed as she wiggled her fingers, freaking everyone out and Lyra-Recall blinked. “Uh...where am I?” ‘I...don’t know?’ The four animatronics sighed, before teleporting themselves inside the castle, along with Lyra-Recall. Bonnie quickly moved over to a bunch of tools lying on the ground, and grabbed a few, before doing something to the back of Freddy’s legs. “So why is a part of the foyer a workshop? And the foyer is also the throne room? So strange.” We asked as we sat down on the floor with Twilight on a thigh, petting her and massaging her neck idly like a pet. “Because our room is already full of his stuff. It’s a good place for building, which he can’t do in the room anymore.” Foxy said, leaning against a wall. “What can I say? I’ll be in this body for who knows how long, so I need to occupy my mind. Besides, we’ll be defective in a year if I don’t perform maintenance and upgrades every few days. Besides, why wouldn’t you want to be able to fly? Speaking of which, you should be able to now.” Bobby put his tools away, closing up the panels on Freddy’s legs, before backing up. “Give it a try.” “If you say so.” With a light humming sound, Freddy shot into the air, before slowing down, with a white aura coming out of his legs. “H-hello? Can...can somepony please tell me what’s going on?” Lyra-Recall asked with fear in her voice, stepping around on her two hooves carefully. ‘Doxuna, can you hear me?’ “I’m...the last thing I remember is...what happened to me?” Lyra-Recall asked as she looked down at her petite chest and ran her hands over her yellow sundress. “Why am I standing on two legs?” ‘Doxuna, I am NOT in control of my current vessel!’ “And why am I hearing somepony in my head?!” ‘It’s MY head!’ “Have you tried removing your frontal lobe? I hear it’s a great way to get rid of voices in your head.” Foxy said, a smile on his face. “Yeah, it’s also a great way to die!” Lyra screeched. ‘Yeah, it’s also a great way to die!’ Recall shouted. “You can survive without the frontal lobe. Many people have done it in the past, even with bad technology. It just gets rid of a few feelings, like fear.” Bonnie pointed out. “But I died! That...that’s right isn’t it? I...I saw a great flash of light, a burst of pure agony, then...darkness….” Lyra shivered as she hugged herself. “How am I here?” “Well, after you got hit by Recoome’s eraser gun, which went straight through Toy Freddy, you technically were disintegrated.” Freddy reminded. “So...I’m...oh Bonnie!” Lyra began crying as she sank to her knees, sobbing into her hands. “W-what’ll happen to her without me paying half the rent?” “She quickly moved on, got a great paying job, raised a family, and died at the ripe old age of 35.” Foxy said, his smile getting bigger. “You’re scaring the girl.” We said, ceasing our petting of the Princess of Friendship for a moment. “Sorry about that. Foxy’s kind of a joker, and due to us lacking emotions except for the ones we can imitate, he can get a bit mean.” “Jerk! I’m dead and-and  you’re mocking me?! Not cool! I...I need an instrument….” The musician wilted, looking utterly despondent. ‘Hey, hey. I’m here ey? Just...just calm down.’ “You’re not the only one who’s dead. ‘Hey, Lyra, let me take control, okay? Nothing is going to happen to you.’ Recall promised the poor mare who sniffled and nodded, before she suddenly stopped crying. “Doxuna, the poor girl’s dead, if we force her out she’s gone for good. Could you summon dad-” “Shut up and get her out of our mass.” We said, tossing Recall Avarice’s token. “How did she even get in us, anyways?” “I don’t know. Perhaps it’s me being some sort of draw for spirits? Avarice is Fertility and Chaos, Rebirth and all that are part of the package I suppose. Hey dad! Uh...okay right, you likely have no idea, my name’s Recall and I need help with keeping a roaming spirit alive.” Recall said into the blue-iron brazier which lit with it’s iconic blue flame, and a blue flaming portal spawned in the air, but the odd thing was it was about the size for someone like Recall was now, and out stepped a gray-coated thestral with familiar long purple hair holding a few baskets of food, blinking as her thigh-length blue dress fluttered. “Oh, this is what it’s like?” The mare asked as she looked around at the odd assembly of beings as the portal closed behind her, the loss of a contrasting light source letting her curvy hourglass form be much more obvious. “So who called for an exorcism?” The four animatronics quickly backed away, trying to stay as far away from the pony. “Not an exorcism Sharp Snap, but a spirit to be transferred.” We informed the unusually small mare. “Quick question however, why art thou so small? Usually thou and any who are of Avarice’s mass are at least 14 feet tall.” “Ava’s all preggers with your eggs, remember?” Sharp asked with a roll of her eyes, making us facepalm at the time shenanigans, considering last we saw Ava, we’d just helped her DELIVER those eggs…. “So she sends us out to do things when she doesn’t swap places with one of us so she can do serious stuff, like get summoned by...you...uh...hold on, have you been to Drowned Atoll yet?” “... We’d rather not think about all of this timeline shenanigans, thank you very much.” We said flatly. “Can you just take the soul of dear Lyra and be gone?” The way the sadistic thestral practically lit up with excitement almost disturbed us. “Another mare in Ava’s head? Sweet! It’s almost all a sausage fest in there with Avarice and Crescent with their stupid macho bullshit. Oh, but PLEASE tell me she’s a sub! I want somepony I can make squeal~!” The way Lyra suddenly asserted herself in the body and cowered away from the bloodthirsty mare only made her wings flutter. “Are we the only ones who think this is getting really creepy, and really confusing?” Freddy spoke up, an unsure look on his face. “Trust us, when it comes to Avarice, things are never simple and easy. Take her and leave, consider her a new member of thine herd. Even if it is massive enough already.” We rolled our eyes, and Sharp did too. “Yeah~ three mares and three of us in one body compared to little old you and over eight or nine spouses. We have such a big herd! Just c’mere~.” Sharp dropped the groceries and began prowling towards the backpedaling mare who backed into the worried Freddy. “No, no please! P-put me in a robot, or something! Don’t let her-mmph! MMPH!” Lyra was muffled by Sharp taking her in a kiss, and shortly she went limp, and Sharp broke off with a satisfied hiss that really drew attention to her fangs as Recall turned into a copy of Sharp. “Oooo you’re the panicky and feisty type, I’ll enjoy you~.” Sharp lilted as she turned and casually picked up her groceries before walking towards a fire portal that spawned in front of her. “Ta-ta~! Do call again!” The portal closed behind her, and Recall changed into a copy of Twilight again.         “...That...is one seriously screwed up mare.” Recall commented with a hint of fear. “I mean, sure, having her memories is one thing, but actually thinking like her for a moment….” Recall shuddered and hugged herself. “Doxuna, I’m just...going to go back inside. Shit’s too crazy right now.” Recall walked over to Doxuna, and seemingly melded into her thigh, turning into the same silvery coat as the rest of her host.         “Well now, since that mess is dealt with, is there anything thou hast need of? Or shall we simply enjoy our visit until our wanderlust demands we leave?” We asked as we rubbed Twilight’s belly, the mare contently relaxing on her back with a small smile for the belly rubs, still taking notes idly on the massive pile of paper nearby.         “Why was Recall constantly changing forms? Do you have some kind of problem with controlling your form?” Bonnie asked, a curious and scientific look in his face.         “Yes….” We admitted, feeling our ears turn back. “We used to be male, and the size of a normal person, and able to change ourself however we wished. But then, we were corrupted in our foolishness. We went mad with power and rage, and our dear father decided to disown us, severing us from his power, and sabotaging us. We began losing ourself, losing who we were, becoming those we were forced to copy. Luna, my beloved, she shared a piece of her soul with me, and then this became my true form. Indeed we adore it, we love our body. But we cannot become male again, her memories overwhelm our original ones, leaving us confused, lost. Along with our finesse in our transformations.”         Bonnie hummed to himself, as he got into a thinking pose. “I have an idea. I might be able to make a device that could temporarily allow you to control your forms. It wouldn’t be permanent, as I don’t have enough time, or resources, but I could have it done in like five minutes.”         “How long would the device last for?”         “About 10 minutes if I can’t find the right materials. But I’m confident I can, and can make it last about an hour with a quick recharge rate, allowing you to use it every other hour.”         “Then no. Screw it.” I said. “I’d rather figure out how to maintain a male form on my own.”         Bonnie shrugged. “Suit yourself. I won’t force you to accept it.”         “The notion is appreciated, but unless it could just act as a medium for it, it is pointless to have a form for a few minutes and not keep it. T’would just make us long for it more.”         “If I had enough time I could build either a permanent one, or one that could help you figure out how to do it yourself, but that might take a week at most.”         “Again, screw it.” I said, just as my nose started to spout my silvery blood. “Ah, that’s my signal to leave. If we could have your token, we’ll be on our way.”         Freddy’s hand glowed a bright white, before a small piece of metal with all of their faces on it was created in his hand, before he flicked it over to me.         “Thank you, now I shall be off.” I said as I reached out in front of me and ripped open a portal. Immediately after doing so, I felt a familiar tingle run down my spine. “It seems as though someone is calling me. Ah, a friend. Goodbye all, I’m off to a party, it seems.” And with that, I stepped through the portal and was gone from Freddy’s world.         “Hey wait! You didn’t brush my mane!” I heard Twilight whine, making me giggle as the portal closed. > Bears and bugs. And foxes, and bunnies, and chickens. > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- So I was sitting in my cave, minding my own business when a voice came out from nowhere. “Umm… We don’t exactly know who you are, but we just want to deal with a Displaced, without having some huge crisis going on in the background. So, umm we summon you to our plane of existence!” Feeling that odd tugging sensation, I was able to brace myself this time, before my vision went white, and I… fell, through the space between realms. When my vision returned, I was standing in some deserted rocky area, my best guess being somewhere near Appleloosa, and… Oh god. I am not ready! “Oh god, stay back!” I tripped and fell onto my rear, as standing before me, was Freddy flipping Fazbear. Freddy’s expression quickly changed, as he took a step back. “The crap is that?!” He yelled. “It looks like a robotic bug.” Bonnie said from beside him. “Is that what we summoned?” Foxy asked. “Let’s not be offensive. We don’t know the person yet.” Chica said, looking between all three animatronics. Freddy sighed. “You’re right.” He took a step forward, and put his hand/paw out, before making the Vulcan salute. “We come in peace.” I stopped, and stared. “So wait, you’re not going to try and stuff an endo into me?” “You’re already a robot. How would we stuff a metal endoskeleton into you? Or even stuff you into a suit? Besides, where would we get the endoskeleton? I don’t know of any laying around.” Bonnie said in a joking manner. “I don’t know whether to laugh, or be alarmed at how much thought you just put into that.”  “We’re robots. We can think at remarkable speeds. Much quicker than a human or most organic brains can.” Bonnie replied. “I’m more of a cyborg, really. I’m surprised you don’t know what I am.”   “Our Earth is radically different than most Earths, as I understand. We already figured out how to cross universes. So sorry if we don’t quite understand what passes for modern pop culture in other universes.” Freddy replied, as he held out his paw, offering to help me up. Grabbing it in my claw, I hefted myself up. “Sooo, you’ve never even heard of Pokemon? I pity you, I really do.” “We’ve heard of Pokemon, it’s just that Nintendo stopped making the games after Diamond and Pearl. They went on to focus on the more popular game series like Earthbound.” Foxy mentioned. “I’m just gonna step away from that can of worms.” I said, looking around. “So, you said something about wanting to deal with a Displaced without something going down?”  “Yeah. The last times we’ve dealt with a Displaced, Lyra Heartstrings was murdered, and another guy was appearantly some huge anthro pony. But as for what we’re doing now, is that we’re going on a personal quest to retrieve some important resources for Bonnie so that he can finish building the emotional chips for our AI systems. For some reason, he can’t teleport in himself, and grab it. So we have to help him.” Freddy said, a worried expression on his face. “Not sure how I can help you there.”  “Well, we could also use back-up. We’re quite far from civilization, and the only creature on this planet that can disable us is somewhere out there, so we are kinda scared about being dismantled at this location.” Foxy mentioned. “That, I can help with. I survived a fight with Mewtwo, I can probably handle whatever's causing you trouble.” The four animatronics’ faces brightened up a bit. “Your help will be much appreciated. When we’re done, I’m sure Bonnie could make a device to help you in your world.” Freddy said, with a smile on his face. “That would be quite helpful, so what do you need blasted to bits?”  Bonnie shivered for a brief moment, but that went unnoticed by the other animatronics, as they pointed to a large mountain out in the distance. “Apparently, whatever Bonnie wants, is in that mountain, so we’re heading for it. We don’t really know what’s in it that prevented Bonnie from teleporting inside, so we don’t have any more information.” Freddy said, before starting to walk forward. “Well, we won’t get anywhere if we don’t move.” I followed, running a few simulations in my head as I did. It didn’t take long to arrive at the base of the mountain, and when we did, there was a convenient cave just sitting there. “So, it’s in the cave Bonnie?” Freddy asked his friend. “Yep.” He said simply, and Freddy quickly walked in, his hand glowing white, providing him some light, before he quickly ran back out. “NOPE! NOPE! NOPE!” He yelled, as he ran as far away as possible. As he did so, a giant spider, that was bigger than the cave, came out, acid dripping from its fangs. It was times like this I was thankful for having a poison type immunity. “OI, BUGBREATH!” I shouted, firing a Flash Cannon at its face. The attack did it’s desired effect, as it struck home before the spider could realize what happened. But when the smoke cleared, the spider’s head quickly regrew on it’s body. “...I call hax.”  Right at that very moment, the puppet’s music box music started playing, and when it ended, the Puppet himself popped out of the rocks nearby, flew at the spider, yelling “Boo!” before being eaten in one bite. “PUPPET! NO!” Freddy yelled, sadness in his voice. I actually took a moment to run a diagnostic program, just to make sure that that had indeed just happened, and not been the result of a glitch. I looked Freddy in the eye. “Terminate with extreme prejudice?” Freddy, with a look of absolute… he looked like he always did, jumped into the air impossibly high, before glowing pure white, and slamming his fist down on the ground, completely missing the spider. Luckily for him, his punch created a minor shockwave that caused several rocks from the mountain to fall down, and bury the giant spider. “It can’t be that easy, can it?” “Darn it! You had to say that, didn’t you!” Freddy yelled, before the rocks blew up, flying at Freddy, before going straight through him, tearing off his limbs, and making him resemble swiss cheese. “Okay, time for plan B: KILL IT WITH FIRE!” I launched a stream of fire from my cannon, hosing the exceptionally large arachnid in a scarlet inferno. “LETS ADD MORE FIRE!” Bonnie’s voice rang out, before he somehow flew up to the spider’s face, and turned his arms into giant flamethrowers, firing napalm directly into the spider’s face. Launching myself at it with Extreme speed, I spun, and nailed it right between the eyes with Blaze Kick, before springing away, and launching a flame infused Techno Blast at it. When the smoke cleared, the spider was still standing there, but now had a fire-infused body. “The hell is this thing?!” Foxy yelled out, wondering how a tough spider could exist. “IT’S DEAD!” Bonnie screamed, before pushing the button on a small device, which caused a loud humming sound to come from the atmosphere, before a giant laser came down from the sky, and destroyed the spider into nothing. “Okay, what the hell was that!”  “What? Never seen an orbital launch cannon before? I made it myself a while back. Took less than a minute. It also fires nachos for any party.” Bonnie said with a smug smile, as he walked over, and removed the rocks from Freddy, who stood back up, his body repairing itself. “Sooo, an Orbital Party Cannon?”  “More like an orbital swiss army knife. It’s got a use for every scenario.” Before Bonnie could say anything else, Freddy smacked his head off. “I thought I told you to dismantle that thing!” Freddy yelled. “I did! I just rebuilt it in the middle of the fight! See, look! Now it’s dismantled!” Bonnie briefly flickered, and I looked up to indeed see the cannon was missing from the sky. “Is it bad I’m not questioning my sanity yet?”  “At least you can go insane. We currently have fake emotions right now. But with this, I can build a small device that gives us back emotions.” Bonnie said, as he pulled out a large rock from the cave. The rock was glowing with an unearthly green shade. “I shall call it, the stone that will never be named, because this is the only one, and it will be used for my purposes!” “You guys are like Deadpool on crack, you know that?” “I told you not to install that chip! The last thing we need is fourth-wall breaks!” Freddy yelled to Bonnie who was just laughing. When Bonnie calmed down, he dropped the rock on the ground, before quickly flickering, and a small device, no bigger than a phone was in his hands. “Here. For your help. It’s a device that allows your body to ignore Newton’s laws, and rebuild itself by recreating matter. Just in case you get destroyed. Make sure to copy it, because if it breaks, then you won’t regenerate.” I actually laughed at that. “You do realize, that means I can spam Explosion, right?” Foxy laughed at that as well. “Well, no one likes an exploding shiny pokemon.” “I know that feeling all too well. Thank god for emulators and savestates!”  “Well, I hope you make good use of that device. Should be easy to figure out how it works. Though it’s an early model, so you can make it better than it currently is.” Bonnie said, as he made the rock disappeared, before looking around the caves some more. “Oh hey! This spider was a momma!” A loud crunching sound was heard. “GAH! BURN IN HELL!” A bright flash came from the cave, as well as the screams of the spiders burning. Bonnie walked out of the cave, carrying a huge dead spider corpse behind him. This corpse was bigger than the spider we just fought. “Do you see the size of this baby spider?! It’s bigger than it’s mother! They were all like that! At least they don’t have the same powers yet!” I… just… what… the… fu- My vision went black, and I heard something at the back of my head. A logic error has occurred, Rebooting...  Reboot complete.  “I think we broke him.” Freddy’s voice rang out. “Shouldn’t have used Internet Explorer.” Bonnie replied. “So, do we send him back now? Or should we wait for him to wake up?” Foxy asked. My vision returned to me, revealing I was on the ground, the four animatronics standing over me. “Hey, you working again? Got your internet connection back online?” “Yes, I’m awake, and for your information, I use Chrome.” “Everything is chrome in the future.” Chica mentioned. “That pun was terrible.”  “Meh. It could be considered a pun, it could also be considered a fact, depending on which future your talking about.” Chica shrugged. “So, you wanna get sent back now?” Freddy asked. “Yes please, I’d rather not suffer another ‘What the fuck am I even looking at’ induced error thank you.”  “Yep. Our life is pretty weird. You should have seen some of the stuff the Ginyu Force did when they arrived two days ago. Their universe follows anime logic.” Foxy said, with a few chuckles. “Oh dear god. please tell me they didn’t know about Gurren Lagann?”    “I don’t know if they’ve heard about it or not. We didn’t really as about those kind of questions.” Freddy took a breath in. “Now, if you’re ready, I’ll send you back.” “Yes please.”  “Alright. You have survived till 6 am, hope to see you again. Here’s our token, call us if you ever need us.” Freddy flicked a small piece of metal with all of their faces on it, over to me. I held it in my claw, before my vision faded to white, and the now familiar sensation of be transported across realms returned. When my vision returned, I was back in my cave hidaway. “I need a freaking dri-” Wait. Cyborg. … “Fuck my life.” > The Phantom of the Animatronic > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Dear Princess Twilight Sparkle." "Your presence, and that of your friends, and the four animatronics, is requested at Canterlot Castle immediately. Chariots will be provided for all of you." "Sincerely, Princess Celestia." Twilight read the letter out again. The six ponies were all riding in the chariots, but my friends and I were flying along side them, with our new flying systems designed by Bobby. "What do you think could be the problem?" Applejack asks the question that is on all of our minds. "Perhaps it could have something to do with the giant dark purple swirling field surrounding the castle?" Bobby pointed out, and we all looked over to see that he was correct. "How did we not notice that?" Twilight asked. "We never even noticed the shield around Canterlot during my BBBFF's wedding." "So, what do you think it could be Twi?" Rainbow Dash asked. "Maybe it's a party!" Pinkie yelled, confetti flying from her mane. "I doubt it." I spoke up, smiling at Pinkie's demeanor, and glad I could smile like I used to. "Scans indicate that there are no life forms inside the building, and tons of life forms surrounding the field." "Maybe it's a new kind of party?" Pinkie suggested. "Unless the new kind of party involves someone trying to take down the princesses, I doubt it." Bobby said. "I love those kind of parties! Everyone in college had one once a week! We'd go into the after world, and cut off the heads of all the evil royalty in the past! The most satisfying one was when we cut off the head of Hitler." Frank laughed, and I smiled as well, remembering our college days. Well, me and Frank went to the same college, but Bobby and Claire went to separate colleges. "Remember when we had that assignment where we were each given an alternate universe to deal with, and we had to use our futuristic knowledge to lead them best?" I said, and Frank's face lit up (as much as it could). "Oh yeah, I failed during the Roman empire, I remember that one person managed to get them to colonize Mars, and he was still in the Renaissance time period." We both shared a laugh, while the ponies looked confused. "I failed to contain Smallpox, that was hilarious though, kinda reminded me of Plague Inc." I laughed again. "What kind of college did you go to?" Twilight asked, both bewildered by our claims, and excited for more knowledge. "5th Universe." Frank and I said at the same time. "We both got our history majors. I was going to be a teacher, and Foxy wanted to be a historian." "Pfft, only 5th." Bobby said, a joking smile on his face. "Well excuse me Mr. 2nd Universe. Not all of us can be the smartest in our home universe." Frank retorted. "I'm surprised you didn't get 1st Universe." Claire pointed out. "I might have been one of the smartest minds in our home universe, but to go to 1st Universe, you need to be the smartest of several different universes. I was beaten by an alternate version of myself." Bobby would have pouted if he could. "Chica, what college did you go to?" I asked, realizing we never learned that. We all stared at Claire, who was starting to look nervous. "Oh hey, look, we arrived." She pointed out, as the carriages landed near the edge of the barrier, and we each landed on the ground with light thuds. "Okay, what seems to be the problem?" I asked, as I walked up to the two princesses, who looked distressed. "You finally arrived, thank goodness!" Celestia sighed in relief. "Sunny is trapped inside the castle!" "What?!" I yelled, getting slightly angry. "Who cast this barrier?" "We don't know! I was having tea with my sister and daughter, when these robots that looked like destroyed and decayed versions of you showed up, and grabbed Sunny, before snapping their fingers, and everypony in the castle was teleported out, and this barrier came up. Not even Discord has been able to get by." Celestia looked like she was a mess, her mane and tail weren't as wavy, and her eyes were puffy from crying. "We'll try our best." I comforted her, before turning to my friends. "Bonnie we got to figure out a way into the castle, can you teleport, because I'm sensing interference." Bobby shook his head. "I'm sensing interference as well." Claire has a surprised look on her face. "I'm not sensing any teleporting interference. I'll just go teleport in, and grab Sunny." Bobby and I saw her start to flicker, and we both lunged for her arms. "NO! DON'T!!!" We were too late, as she teleported inside the castle. I looked on my radar, and could still see her on it. "We got to get inside! It's dangerous for her to be on her own! We don't know if He is in there!" I yelled to Bobby. "Well give me a minute to analyze the situation!" Bobby yelled back, and looked to the barrier, examining it, before he walked forward, and experimentally put his hand against it. His paw went straight through, as if the barrier wasn't there. He sighed. "Seriously? Did any of you try to walk through it?" Celestia nodded. "We tried to get through it, but we couldn't." "Maybe only inanimate objects can go through it?" Frank asked, and he picked up a lose rock, and chucked it at the barrier, where it went straight through. I slowly turned back to the princesses. "Well, we'll try to settle this as quickly as we can. Maybe you can find another way to enter?" I walked to the portal, and was already half-way through it, when I looked back to the ponies, I waved to them. "Wish us luck!" "Come on, where is she?" Claire whispered to herself, as she walked through the dark and imposing hallways of the castle. "Sunny! Where are you?! It's me, Chica!" Claire kept walking through the dark hallways, heading towards Sunny's room, where she imagines that's where Sunny could be. She sees the door to the room in the distance, and is about to pick up the pace, when she hears a clacking sound right next to her, and she turns her head a bit, to see that something is tapping her shoulder. Claire slowly turns around, before screaming. "YoU sHoUlDn'T hAvE cOmE hErE!" Behind Claire was Phantom Chica from FNAF 3. As we walked down the menacing hallways, we kept on looking for Claire. But suddenly, I felt her connection go out, and I couldn't see her on the GPS anymore. That made all three of us panic, as we started running down the hallways. "CLAIRE!" I yelled as loud as I could. My friends were yelling behind me, and we kept on running, to where she was last on the radar. We kept on running, and eventually came across Sunny's door, as we were running to the location. "Strange, wouldn't Claire have headed for Sunny's door first? Yet she was nowhere near it." Bobby asked me. I looked at him with a panicked expression. "Maybe Sunny's inside the room." I gently opened the door, and looked around the dark room. "No life signs, she's not here." I closed the door, and turned around, before noticing something terrifying. "Where's Frank?" Bobby quickly spun around, and looked for our friend, but we couldn't find him. I checked the GPS and noticed his blip was still there, but it disappeared quickly, just like Claire's. "Freddy, you do realize the only way we would no longer be able to track our friends, would be if they had their bodies removed, right?" "I don't want to think about that! It could just be Purple Guy's spell! I never checked to see if I could no longer sense you after you guys got hit by the spell!" I was getting really panicked at this point. "Let's hope so." Bobby said, as he put his hand on my shoulder. "Gotta make sure we stick together. We don't know if he could be here." Bobby nodded, and we headed off to the main throne room, where the trouble most likely is going to be at. We walked in silence for the next minute, and I kept glancing over at Bobby, making sure that he was there. There didn't seem to be any more trouble, and we were almost at the throne room, when a familiar music box played. Unfortunately, we were both really tensed up, that we both let out our character's trade-mark screams, once Puppet jumped out of the ceiling. We quickly recovered, and I waved to our little friend, before noticing that he seemed a lot grimier than usual. "Bobby, that's Phantom Puppet!" I yelled, but it was too late, as Phantom Puppet jumped to Bobby, and quickly made his way into the small opening in his neck, before getting into his body. Bobby was panicking, trying to get Puppet out, but wasn't able to. "What's he doing?!" "I don't know!" Bobby yelled, before he started glowing white. "No, he's teleporting me! He;s somehow activating the spirit energy, and forcing me to teleport!" My eyes widened, and I lunged for my friend, but it was too late, and I was left in the hallway, only accompanied by the echo of Bobby's scream for help. It didn't even take a second for Bobby to disappear of the radar. "NO!" I yelled, as I slammed my fist into the ground, creating a large hole, before I got up, and turned back around, feeling my eyes go from normal, to white pinpricks. "PURPLE GUY! I'M COMING FOR YOU!" I screamed, before running at full speed down the hallway, quickly coming across the throne room door, kicking it down, looking in the room, seeing my theories correct (as my friends were now torn to pieces, and the bodies of the children were on fire, and cut up into tiny little pieces), before rushing forward, and decking the monologuing Purple Guy/pony/unicorn, in the face, sending him flying back into a wall, before chasing after him, and punching him in the throat. "YOU WILL DIE!" "We'll see." Purple Guy said with his usual sadistic smile. > Freddy's Anger > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "We'll see." Purple Guy said with his usual sadistic smile. He charged up his horn, and I moved my head to the side, easily dodging the beam he sent at me at close range. I saw the look of surprise in his eyes. "Oh, did you forget? I'm a ROBOT! FASTER REACTION TIME IDIOT!" I screamed in his ear, before preforming my jumpscare on him, and spinning around, throwing him into a stain-glass window, and I quickly teleported over, grabbing his hind leg before he fell all the way, and I smashed him straight into all the sharp glass. "LET ME GO YOU MISERABLE CHILD AND I'LL PUT YOU OUT OF YOUR MISERY!" He yelled, as he ignored the pain. "You want me to let you go?!" I teleported both of us to the outer atmosphere. "HERE YOU GO! HAVE A NICE TRIP!" I let go of him, and watched as he quickly picked up speed as he fell to the planet. I flew down after him, and kept a certain distance from him so I could see his pained reaction once he dies upon impact But to my surprise, Purple Guy spins around in mid-air, and starts firing spells at me, even though he's starting to burn up in the atmosphere. I expertly dodge each one, and Purple Guy teleports away somewhere. Shocked, I quickly looked around for him, before hearing the pop behind me, and I look over my shoulder to see him firing the disabling spell at my back. "AGH!" I scream in pain, as I felt my body start to lock up, 'WILL YOU DIE LIKE THIS YOU WIMPLING?! YOUR FRIENDS DIED! GET YOUR STUFF TOGETHER AND FIGHT!' While I was surprised at the voice of Ginyu appearing in my head, I decided to follow his advice. I grit my teeth together, as I spin around, and look at the smug face of Purple Guy, before pulling my hands back, and pushing all of his spell energy straight into my hands. I felt them go numb, as a huge ball of blue light shows up in my hands. "KAMEHAMEHA!" I scream, and the beam hit Purple Guy straight on, as I impact the ground, and quickly repair my body. I closed my eyes, and sensed out to wherever Purple Guy is after he teleported to avoid the fall, and I teleported into the castle again, to see the shocked faces of the ponies as they stared at the dead bodies of my friends. I looked around, and didn't see Purple Guy anywhere. "Freddy. You're friends." Twilight said, in a sad voice. "Freddy, did you find my daughter?" Celestia asked. I shook my head, before Purple Guy's chuckling was heard. "Your daughter? You mean this sack of meat?" Purple Guy popped up on the opposite side of the room, holding the corpse of Sunny, her throat ripped open, and a Celestia doll sticking out of her chest. "I killed her with her own mother! How great is that?!" "YOU MONSTER!" Celestia screamed, and charged forward at Purple Guy, who's horn flared to life, and Celestia stopped in her place, as she fell to the ground. "You should really learn your place. My spell deactivates animatronics, and can paralyze living creatures." Luna teleported in front of her sister, and held up a shield. "It also goes straight through any mystical or magical defenses." He fired the same spell at Luna, which completely shattered her shield, and paralyzed her. "Now, I hope you're ready to die." Purple Guy fired a new spell at the princesses, and I quickly moved in front of them, and stood against the beam, watching as it fizzled out. I smirk, and look back up at him, only to get blasted across the room and into a wall with his special magic beam. I felt my body locking up again, but I fought through it, as I dropped to the ground and started walking forward, only to be pelted with the blast again, slowing me down even more. He kept on firing the blast at me, until he made it continuous, and I kept on trying to walk forward, with my body failing on me. My radar disappeared, and my jet pack stopped working. My spirit defenses faded, and all the upgrades I've gotten stopped working one after another, until my left leg finally stopped working. I fell to the ground, unable to move my left leg, and Purple Guy stops his onslaught. I try to get back to my feet, and take another step forward, only to get blasted again, and my right leg stopped working, leaving me stuck. I looked over to the scared ponies, and gave them a solemn glance, before gazing back at Purple Guy's smug smile, as he fired one last blast at my head, messing up my visual and auditory systems. I got my eyes working again, in time to see Purple Guy burning another human child's body. 'Where did he get the body... oh fu...' My body started failing, as without the body of the child using his spirit mind to make me be able to move and live, I wasn't able to do anything. The last thing I heard before everything went dark, were three voices yelling 'Freddy!' "Where am I?" I asked out loud. I looked around, noticing I was surrounded by a dark void. It took me a second, but I quickly blinked in surprise at the sound of my voice. I look down to see my fleshy body. "I'm back to normal?! Wait! What about the others?! CLAIRE! BOBBY! FRANK!" I yell as loudly as I could, and start running in a direction that I felt myself being pulled to. I kept running, for maybe an hour, and I noticed I wasn't tired at all. I cast that off, and kept on running, hoping to find my friends. Eventually, I found something other than dark void. It was the body of a young child, laying on the ground. I run up to him, and kneel down. His skin was grey, and I could clearly tell he was dead. But the peculiar part was the wounds on his body. It looked like he was shoved inside a box of sharp springs... "You're the body of the dead child, aren't you." I shook my head. "No, you're the dead soul of the dead child." I moved my hand to the child's hurt empty eyes, and lowered his eyelids, before standing up. "I guess if you're dead, then I'm stuck here for eternity." I turned around, only to see the Puppet. "AH!" I screamed, jumping back, before realizing that it was the friendly one. "Oh, Puppet, you scared me. I thought it might have been the Phantom Puppet." I noticed how his body was how it was in the game, much bigger than the one that jump-scared all the time. "It's okay. I tried to protect you from him, but I couldn't." I blink in surprise. "Puppet, did you just talk?" I asked. I never heard him talk before. "Yes. I'm here to help you." He said, and I looked away, a sad look on my face. "How can you help me? I'm just an AI on a chip that no longer has any power. Without the child, I can't do anything." "That's where you're wrong." Puppet said, making me give him a surprised look. "You keep thinking about the child's spiritual energy, but what about yours? The one you were born with?" "Wasn't that the child's? His soul was within mine since my birth." I asked. "No, both of your spiritual energy mixed, making you much stronger spiritually, which gave you all those powers while both of you were okay in the animatronic suit. But even without the child's spirit, you still have yours, one which is still powerful. You can power the body on your own." I blinked in surprise at his response. "But if I were to somehow come back, wouldn't Purple Guy just disable me again?" I asked, not wanting to die again. "Think about what exactly the beam does when Purple Guy fires it at you." He asked, and I looked up, as I started to think. "Well, the beam disables the spiritual powers of my body, which causes me to lock up, and deactivate for a certain amount of time." I recalled, before my eyes widened. "But without the child's spirit energy, it wouldn't work because it's set to counteract that. But would it counteract my own spirit energy?" Puppet smiled again. "Why don't you find out for yourself. But this time, you're in control of your body. Now, show that murderer the power of Fazbear's Fright." Puppet tore open a hole in reality, and I could see the castle room, with all of our broken up bodies in it. I noticed my body was still standing. I returned Puppet's smile, before walking through the portal, and suddenly everything was dark again. But this was an okay kind of dark, because it was quickly filled with lights as my body quickly started operating again. "Purple Guy." I moan, my voice quickly coming back online, I noticed Purple Guy suddenly start to freak out, as he turned around, and stared at me, but I haven't moved... yet. I took a step forward, my chest area repairing itself. "What the hell?! You should be dead!" Purple Guy yelled, and I just laughed as I fully came back online. "That's the thing. I already am dead. No heartbeat, no brainwaves, no warmth. I'm nothing but an empty husk. I'm nothing but a robot. An animatronic to be specific." I quickly opened my eyes, and charged at Purple Guy, grabbing his throat, and holding him up in the air. Purple Guy started laughing. "Oh, I get it. I removed the child's body and his soul, but now it's your own brain who's operating the body. So you're without all of your powers." He laughed again. "Then, what would you do if I did this?!" He charged up his horn, and fired a flaming ball of explosives at the paralyzed princesses. But before it could even reach them, it was deflected out the window, where it blew up harmlessly. "What the?" "You thought Freddy was the only one who came back from the dead?" Bobby's voice cut through the surprise, as Bobby walked over to Claire, and helped her up, and Frank got up on his own. "Face it Purple Guy, you've lost." "Grr, I still have one trick left!" Purple Guy's horn glowed, and he teleported out of my grip, before firing his disabling spell in an area of effect, hitting all four of us. "Try beating me when you can no longer move!" I slammed my fist into his face while he was laughing, breaking a few bones while doing so. Purple Guy fell out of the hole in the wall, and coughed up blood. "Your spell doesn't work anymore. It was set for the children's souls, not our souls. So we still have our powers, without the weakness, because we have a lot more willpower and experience than a bunch of kids who were murdered. We're adults and we lost everything important to us, everything except each other. Now, enough with the stupid sounding hero speech, time for you to pay for your crimes." Bobby teleported over to the princesses, and tapped them each on the head, freeing them. I used my power to pull Purple Guy over to me, and broke off his horn. He screamed in pain, and I turned around, facing the Princesses, who looked absolutely furious. "What should we do with the monster?" Luna asked. "I say we kill him." Frank suggested. "If we do, there's no guarantee that he won't come back as a spirit." Bobby suggested. "We need to imprison him." "Is there any prison that can contain him?" Claire asked. "We can turn him to stone for a thousand years. That will make him pay for his crimes." Luna snorted. "Whoa, let's not get too excessive. We four might not be here in a thousand years to stop him, plus I wouldn't wish him to a fate like that." I said, tightening my grip on the struggling Purple Guy. "Do you have another form of imprisonment?" Both sisters looked between each other, before nodding. "Yes, we'll send him to Tartarus. He won't be able to die, and never will be able to escape. It's full of the world's most vile creatures." I smiled. "Sounds perfect. I say we send him there." "Second it." Bobby responded, with murmurs of agreement from Claire and Frank. "Then it will be done. Hand him over, and we'll take care of the spell." I watched the yellow magic envelop his form, and I let go, allowing him to float over into the middle of the circle we were all forming. "Purple Guy, for your crimes against the ponies of Equestria, and the people of Earth, we sentence you to life in Tartarus for your crimes." A huge hole in the fabric of reality opened up in front of Purple Guy, showing a world of fire and brimstone. Purple Guy was dropped to the ground. "You can't force me to go! I've escaped prisons before! This will be no different!" He yelled, as he tried to summon a spell through his missing horn, but was unable to due to the Princesses' spell. "Hey Purple Guy." He looked at me, and I pulled my leg back, before kicking him into the portal. "Hope you die in a fire." The portal quickly closed, sealing of the screams of anger from Purple Guy as he was trapped in a hell dimension. We all look over as the doors to the room slam open, and the six mares burst through, wearing some jewelry. "We got the Elements Princess! Now we can get rid of the monster!" Twilight exclaimed. We all just stared at her. "Seriously! You already defeated him?! You know how long it took to get these Elements from the Tree?!" > Epilogue; He Always Comes Back > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- It's been thirty years since the banishment of Purple Guy, and all has been going great. Frank and Claire got married, which was weird because neither Bobby or I expected it. Bobby's been busying building a baby for them, and he even made a company that helps advance science in this world. As for me, I've been called to help the Princesses with various things like stopping wars from starting, and giving advice to help them rule their rapidly advancing country. Of course, to create balance, we've made relations with the other countries and gave them better tech. But we've been careful, as we've only given them a certain level of technology so far. You don't want to give the ponies technology too far advanced as they most likely would do something stupid. I've also become a care taker for Twilight Sparkle and her husband Flash Sentry's foal, Twinkle. Discord and Fluttershy also got married and had a kid, who's recently had some trouble with bullies. Pinkie got with some yellow and brown pony named Cheese Sandwich, and both are expecting a child, but we don't really go near him as he is really freakin' creepy. Rarity recently divorced with some high Canterlot noble, who was cheating on her, and she got in a relationship with some weird bug pony thing called a Changeling. Rainbow Dash is in a relationship with some pegasus named Night Glider, who came from a village they saved from a Communist pony a few months before we arrived. Applejack hasn't found anyone yet, but that is probably due to her being raped when she went to this one city for an apple contest or something. Sadly though, she was impregnated by the scumbag, who we caught, and there was a huge scandal due to the guy being some important hipster that Rarity once had a crush on. I walked out of the room I was in, and turned off the light, before closing the door. I smiled faintly, as I walked over to the main throne room. I looked in on the few ponies inside, and spoke. "I just put Twinkle to bed. Anything else I can do to help?" Twilight looked up at me with tired eyes. "No, that should be it. I have to go to bed soon anyways. You can take the rest of the night off." I smiled, and nodded my head, before teleporting out of the castle, and looking around the darker Ponyville. The little town has changed a lot in the recent decades, as it's expanded, probably because of Twilight being a Princess. I smiled again, and I looked at my paws, noticing the changes made to my body from thirty years ago. I got rid of the fake fur, and most of my body has been replaced with upgraded parts. My body is a lot shinier, and much stronger. I also feel less like an animatronic, and more like a robot, as a few upgrades actually permanently fused my endoskeleton to the exoskeleton. The gap between has been slowly filling with more tech, given to me by my friend Bobby. I was walking through Ponyville, as I usually like to do at the end of the day, just enjoying how nothing bad from FNAF has happened in a long time. I stopped in my tracks when I saw a red shining light coming from a nearby alleyway, and could faintly hear a pony's muffled screams. I quickly ran over, to see a dark tall figure stabbing a pony to death. "Hey!" I yelled, and the figure quickly got to it's feet, and dropped the now dead body of a pony. I didn't recognize the pony, so I imagine he was from out of town. "What do you think you're doing?!" The figure gave out a deep, dark laugh. "Why, I'm just killing this pony. Is there anything wrong with that?" I froze when I heard his voice. "No, you were banished! How did you come back?!" I yelled, taking a step backwards, as the murderer walked out of the shadows, revealing Springtrap, in all of his glory. He was even standing up, even though Purple Guy was a pony when he was banished. I quickly pointed my hand to the sky, and fired a blast of spirit magic, which made as much of a racket and visual effect as possible, to attract everyone's attention, and let them know something bad is happening. "Go ahead. Summon your friends. You beat me last time because you used your spirit energy. But now..." He held up his hand, and it glowed with a dark color. "I've gotten some of my own. Plus, I've gotten it stronger due to taking the energy from everyone in Tartarus." 'Crap.' "Oh, and your probably wondering where I got the suit. Well, I found it in the darkest part of Tartarus. I was beaten up by everyone in that hell, and I put on the suit, which locked me in this stupid bipedal position, but also vastly increased my powers. I don't need magic from my missing horn anymore. And your powers are too weak to counteract mine." He fired a blast at me, and I was sent flying back, crashing into a house. I quickly got to my feet, and fired a few white blasts back at him, but he dodged them quickly. I furrow my brow, and I point my arm at him, as a panel slid to the side, revealing a few missiles, glowing with white light. I fired them at him, and the missiles caught him off guard, so he couldn't dodge in time, before getting hit. I put the missiles away, and charged forward, pulling a sword out from my arms, and slicing through the smoke, before colliding with something. I blew the smoke back with my energy to reveal that my sword was pushing again a long spine that was sharpened and reinforced to make a spine. "You're nothing but a sick monster. This time I won't punish you. This time you die!" I yelled, as my other arm formed an arm cannon, that I fired point blank into his gut, which pushed him back, and allowing me to slice my sword to cut off his arms, and legs, before slicing up his head into tiny little pieces. I sheathed my sword, and walked away, taking a deep breath, before I heard laughing behind me, and I turn around, only to get stabbed in the brain, right where my AI chip was located. He laughed again, and his sword glowed, before blowing up, destroying my AI chip. I fell to the ground, struggling to control my body, using only my soul. I sent some power to my head, trying to regenerate the chip, but he stabbed his sword into my head again, blocking the regeneration. "I'm going to punish you the same way you did to me." Suddenly, Springtrap was slammed by something that sent him flying into another building. I looked up to see a purple paw, and I grabbed it, before being pulled up by Bobby, and he lent me some of his power to regenerate my brain chip. "I got your message. Frank and Claire should be on their way, as I sent them a message. Now, we need to stop him before he kills anyone else." "Got it." I nodded, and pointed my arm at the wall behind Springtrap. My hand shot out of my arm, attached to a chain, before it collided with the wall. I was instantly shot forward, and used my momentum to punch Springtrap in the face, dazing him long enough for Bobby to fire his rocket launcher arms at him. I reattached my hand to my body, and put my hands up just in time to block Springtrap's hammer attack. He kept on swinging his hammer at me, but I kept on blocking it, until I felt something pierce my back, and I turned my head to see a mini plushy Springtrap stabbing me through the back. Small Springtrap's sword glowed dark, and I screamed in pain, which I shouldn't be able to do, as I don't have pain receptors. "Like that? It seems my spirit energy isn't the same kind as yours, so it has a negative effect on your bodies. One effect is decomposition." I looked down at my body to see it rotting, as the metal rusts, and my systems start failing. "Freddy!" A voice yelled, and suddenly Springtrap had a hook through his face, and mini Springtrap was crunched in half. Frank threw Springtrap across the town into another building, before he tried to help me up. "You're not dying on us mate." He told me, and I nodded, as I tried to regenerate. I looked down to see the rust fading, as my body turned back to normal. "See, good as new. Now that all four of us are back together, we might be able to finish this murderer off. We are not letting him go again." "Agreed." I muttered, as all four of us stood next to each other, preparing to fight against Springtrap. "Bobby, any ideas?" "Remember that Orbital Strike Cannon?" I nodded. "We can always use that." I sighed. "Rebuild it, but be quick about it." Bobby nodded, and flickered, and I noticed the cannon floating in the atmosphere again. "So, we can use it without destroying the town?" "Yep. Only problem is that to make it localized enough to not destroy the town, Springtrap has to stay in one place and be distracted when it fires. We only have one chance, because if he figures out about it, he won't fall for it again." Bobby responded. "Okay, I'll try to keep him in one place. Bobby, you prepare to fire, and once I give the signal, fire. Frank and Claire, keep everyone else out of the way." I walk forward. "Are you sure that's a smart idea? He was beating you pretty bad by himself." Claire pointed out. "I have an idea, just follow the plan." I walk up to Springtrap. "Why did you come back? You know you're going to be beaten again. The bad guy always loses." Springtrap chuckled. "That may be true, but in this case, you let me live. Whenever the hero lets the murderer lives, others die eventually at the hands of the same murderer. This keeps on happening, until the murderer kills someone close to the hero." I raised an eyebrow, as I secretly send a message to Bobby by doing a certain hand movement behind my back. I felt the cannon charge up. "In this case, the victim will be you." Suddenly, his sword flies through his own chest, and into mine, before staying still, but trapping us together. "Do you think I wouldn't realize you have a plan?! Now, you either call off your attack, or we both die!" He laughed, as I felt my powers starting to fade due to his sword. "FREDDY!" I heard my friends yell. "BOBBY! CUT IT OFF!" "DON'T!" I screamed. "I WILL NOT LET THIS MURDERER LIVE! IF I HAVE TO, I WILL DIE TO MAKE SURE NO ONE ELSE DOES!" I smiled at Springtrap's shocked expression. "Figures you'll choose this. Are you sure? It's a stupid decision, killing yourself." He asked me. I smiled in return. "It's not a stupid decision. You die, and I survive." He looked confused, as I reached my hands up, pulled off my right hand, and threw it over to Bobby who caught it. I saw his smile, as the cannon fired. "You fu-" A loud boom was heard across the entire kingdom, as a beam of light shined down upon the both of us, destroying us instantly. But, luckily for me, I grew from my hand. "Gotta love being able to regenerate from any piece of my body." We all laughed, as the final threat was defeated.
