> 8 Nightmares In Purgatory > by FandomPlays1234 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Prologue: The Faulty Animatronic > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Alright guys Mr. Gears is coming to check you out so be sure to behave OK?" said Nitro. He face hoofed himself when he noticed that the Toy Chica replica was missing her cupcake. "Oh my Celestia I'm so forgetful today," he said as he grabbed the cupcake and placed it in her hands. Nitro stepped back and looked at the animatronic replicas in confidence and said, "Yep perfect Mr. Gears would love you guys," Of course the animatronics gave no response since they weren't activated. Suddenly there was knock on the door followed by a voice, "Mr. Buildup are you in?" Nitro turned towards the door and called out, "Yes come in," The door opened and revealed a brown stallion with caramel colored mane standing there. "Oh Mr. Gears glad you could make it," said Nitro running towards him. Mechanical Gears had been the president of Fazbear entertainment since the first Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria and was highly known as the greatest stallion in Equestria. Gears stepped in and replied, "Yes of course its my duty as president to keep the company alive whether its the location or the animatronics themselves," "Well perfect timing because here are the replicas," said Nitro leading Gears towards the animatronic replicas. Mech walked down the row of animatronics inspecting each animatronic as he walked. "I have created a replica of each animatronic you have asked me to make," said Nitro. "Starting from Fredbear and Spring Bonnie all the way down to the Nightmare Animatronics," said Nitro. Once Mech was done he walked towards Nitro and said, "Im impressed Mr. Buildup you did well although we seem to be missing one," Nitro, confused, asked,"Missing one but I'm positive I built a replica for each animatronic," Mech shook his head and replied, "Im afraid not we're missing the black one," Nitro's eyes widened and said,"Oh THAT one," Mech turned towards him and asked,"So where is it?" Nitro hesitated for a moment before answering,"Well I DID build it but there was a slight problem with THAT animatronic," Mech raised an eyebrow before asking, "What do you mean?" Nitro walked towards the door and said, "Follow me," Mech confused followed Nitro out the door. Freddy's Funland Amusement Park: Front Gates Nitro waited for Mech before opening the gates and leading him in. "This way sir," said Nitro leading Mech into the park. Mech followed Nitro as he led him to another gate in the park. "Isn't this?" Nitro answered," Yes the pathway that leads to the storage," Nitro opened the gate and led Mech in and down a narrow path. Freddy's Funland Amusement Park: Storage Unit "This way," said Nitro as he led Mech in. Mech closed the door behind him as he walked in and continued to follow Nitro to the very end of the long hallway. Nitro opened the pair of doors and walked in. Mech looked around to see worn out endoskeletons and spare animatronic masks. "Over here," said Nitro. Mech found Nitro standing in front of some sort of object covered in white sheets. Nitro pulled off the sheets to reveal an animatronic slouched on the ground. The animatronic, as Mech saw it, was black and withered like it hadn't been cared for in years. It had two rows of large razor sharp teeth and claws on its hands. The animatronic seemed to resemble Nightmare Fredbear but instead of a purple top hat and bow tie, it was yellow with wires sticking out of its blood red eyes. "He was supposed to join the others, but during assembly I noticed that his endoskeleton was faulty," said Nitro. "I could've made repairs but with the park opening in two weeks, I wouldn't be able to finish the repairs in time and I can't use any of the other endoskeletons," "So in the end you decided to just scrap this animatronic didn't you?" said Mech. "I'm sorry Mech," said Nitro. "It's fine I understand," said Mech. "Hey at least we have all the other animatronics," said Nitro. "That's true," replied Mech. There was a silence for a few moments before Mech spoke up," Should we head home for today?" Nitro nodded and headed towards the door followed by Mech not noticing the sound of clicks and mechanical whirring. As the two stallions locks the door behind them, the animatronics eyes glows red and slowly raises it's head. Laughing, the animatronic speaks in a dark tone, "You think you can escape me?" The animatronic opened it's jaws and continued to speak, "You've got some nerves to scrap me," The animatronic slowly gets to its feet and glares at the doors, "Just you wait my vengeance will surely be your end," > Chapter 1: Applying for the Job > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Crystal Empire: Dining Room "CADENCE BREAKFAST IS READY!" cried Shining Armor. I opened my eyes blinking trying to focus my vision when I heard knocking on my bedroom door. "I'm awake!" I called out. I slowly get out of bed rubbing my eyes trying to see where I was going. "Ugh another day hope it's not as bad as yesterday," i grumbled. I grab my bathrobe and crown and walk into the bathroom to prepare for the day, then head down to the dining area where everypony was waiting for me. I take my seat with my cup of coffee and look up to see Twilight and Spike sitting across from me. "Morning your highness did you sleep well?" Spike asks me. I force a smile and nod. "Thanks for letting us stay overnight Cadence," said Twilight. "No problem anything for my favorite pony," I reply. Shining grabs a seat next to me with a daily news and kisses me on the cheek. "Morning beautiful," he says. "Morning love," I reply. "So did you guys sleep well?" I ask Twilight and Spike. "Oh more than well," said Twilight. "Im glad," I say smiling. Suddenly I hear a groan coming from Shining as he says, "Oh for the love of Celestia you've gotta be kidding me," "What is it?" Spike asks. "You guys remember Freddy Fazbear's right?" Shining asks. We all nod in response. "Apparently three restaurants and a horror attraction wasn't good enough cause now their building and amusement park for the franchise," Shining answers. We all groan and slam our faces against the table. "Their looking for a Night Guard aren't they?" asks Twilight. Shining nods. "Forget it I've had enough of Freddy's," groans Twilight. "Me too that place is practically old memories by now," says Shining. Armor. Surprisingly I hesitate to answer. I look at the application form and say something that even surprised myself. "Sounds intriguing," Twilight and Shining both look at me in shock. "Cadence don't you do it," says Shining. Surprisingly I ignore Shining and take the paper to my room. Behind me I can hear Shining slamming his hooves against the table. "I CAN'T BELIEVE SHE'S DOING THIS!!!!!!" cries Shining. "You better go stop her," says Spike. I hear Shining knock on the door and exclaim, "Cadence this is a bad idea nothing good will come out of it trust me!" I open the door and walk out with the form filled out in my mouth and start down the hall. "Cadence please don't do this," Shining tells me. I turn towards him and say, "Listen I know that place has a terrible history but that's why I have to do this," "Its suicide!" Shining exclaims. "Shining please just give it a chance OK?" I plead. Shining shakes his head in disapproval and says, "Whatever you do don't get stuffed," he then storms off in the other direction. I watch sadly as my husband stomps off then turn around and head in the other direction. Crystal Empire: Front Gate I turn around and look behind me hoping my husband can forgive me for my action then set off to Fazbear Headquarters. Fazbear Headquarters As I enter the building I look around the place and see a bunch of Freddy posters hanging on the wall. "Wow interesting building," I say to myself. I walk up to the front desk where a mare was working and ring the bell. The mare looks over and smiles, "Oh hi there welcome to Fazbear HQ what can I do for you?" "Um I'm applying for the Night shift at the new amusement park. I pass her the application and says, "OK hold on a moment," She picks up the phone and sits there with the receiver to her ear. I see that the name plate on her desk reads, Choco Puff . "Huh interesting name," I say to myself. "The president will like to see you his office is in room R216," says Choco Puff. I thank her, grab the form and heads in the direction she tells me to go. As I walk down the hallway I realize that the rooms go in order but cuts off with room R214. Confused I pass by an office and look through the window to find a stallion with a dark blue coat like Luna's I notice that his office isn't as organized and that many boxes were stacked up against the wall. "Must be new here," I say to myself. "I notice that a name is written on the door's glass window. Nitro Robotic Buildup. I look through the window and force a small smile and think to myself, "Heh cutie," The stallion looks up at me causing me to flinch. He then gets up, walks over to the door, and opens it. "Um can I help you?" he asks. "Uh yeah I'm looking for room R216 but I can't seem to find it," I tell him. "Oh um it's behind you," he answers. I turn around and see a pair of doors with the numbers R216 written on the glass. "Oh um thanks,"I said blushing. The stallion nods his head and closes the door to his office. I turn around and tell myself to hold confidence. I knock on the door and a voice answers, "Come in," Fazbear Headquarters: President's Office When entering I notice the office was filled with plaques, posters, and other random objects. "Welcome please take a seat," replies a voice. I grab myself a chair and sit myself in front of the president's desk. "I heard you came to apply for the job?" he asks. I nod and passes him my application. He takes the form and reads through it. Meanwhile I'm looking around the office in curiosity. "Hmm very interesting," says the president. "Well?" I ask. "Miss Mi Amore Cadenza is it?" he asks. "Yes but my friends just calls me Cadence," I reply. "Ah yes the princess of love I've heard a lot about you," he says. "My name is Mechanical Gears president of Fazbear entertainment," says the president. "It's a pleasure to meet you," I say. "Same here miss Cadenza," he replies. "So do I get the job?" I ask. "Well I would hire you but you don't seem to have any experience with this kind of thing do you?" Mech asks. I nod in response. "Well normally I would only hire ponies with experience but nopony seems to want the job except you so...." I jumped up in excitement and asks, "Do I get the job?" "Yes of course although I'm worried that for somepony like you who doesn't have any experience to do a good enough job at this," said Mech. "I'll do my best I promise," I pleaded. "Well then," said Mech. I saw him open a drawer and pull out a plastic bag and a hat and badge. He hands me the clothing and says, "That's your uniform you'll need to wear that while on shift," "Oh my Celestia thank you," I say "Yeah of course you'll start tonight from midnight to six AM for eight nights," said Mech. "Got it," I said. "Well then see you tonight be ready for it," said Mech. I thank him and leave his office. Excited I head back to get ready for my first night on the job. > Chaptrer 2: The Nightmare Begins > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Freddy's Funland Amusement Park: Front Gates Nitro waited patiently for the new night guard to arrive. He checked the watch on his right hoof. It read 11:50. "Maybe I'm too early?' he asked himself. Nitro had started thinking of heading home, but of course Mech's voice played in his head every time. "You are to wait at the main gates for the guard to arrive," Mech had said. "Heh Mech never did change did he?" chuckled Nitro. His thoughts were interrupted when a mare wearing a night guard uniform approached him. "Sorry did I make you wait?" asked the pony. "No just in ti-" but Nitro's statement was cut off when he saw the mare. "Wait aren't you?" asked Nitro. Th mare stared at him in confusion. "Aren't you the mare from earlier?" asked Nitro. "Yes I think?" said the mare. "You look familiar too," she said. "Your the mare who asked me for help," replied Nitro. "Oh right," said the mare blushing. "I'm Nitro, Nitro Robotic Buildup," said Nitro holding out his hoof. "Mi Amore Cadenza aka Cadence," said the mare shaking his hoof. "I'm glad you could make it," said Nitro. He turned around and announced, "Well this is it Freddy's Funland," 'Looks big," replied Cadence. "Oh just wait till you see inside," said Nitro reaching into his bag. "Here are keys you should already know how things work since Mr. Gears should've explained everything," said Nitro handing Cadence the keys. "Of course," said Cadence. "Well then be careful good luck and remember to smile at all times," said Nitro letting Cadence in. "Thanks I guess I'll see you at 6 AM," said Cadence. "Right," said Nitro. He waved Cadence goodbye then turned around and walked off into the night. Cadence let out a sigh and walked into the park eventually coming out from underneath a giant clock tower and into what seemed to be the plaza of the park. "Wows," said Cadence in amazement. Night 1 The entire park had been modeled in a way that it surrounded the plaza in a circular fashion. Across from where Cadence was standing, there were 5 gates with giant signs at the top leading to the different attractions in the park. Cadence took out her flashlight and shined the lights on the signs. Starting on the left was a gate with a yellow tint and a sign that read Fredbear's Funtime Festivities. The next gate was different. It had no colors in particular and had spikes protruding from the bars with a sign above that read Nightmare Nations. The gate in the middle looked like it was made of plastic and had many different light colors on it with a sign that read Toy Time Land. The second to last gate had gates like the one in the front of the park with a sign above that read Fazbear and Friends. The last gate was had a dark green and black tint with a sign above that read Spring Scares. "So these are the attractions huh it'd be too much work to visit all of them in one night so I'll do one for each night," said Cadence. She looked at the different attractions and made her final decision on Fredbear's Funtime Festivities to start things off easy. Cadence walked over to the yellow gate while fiddling with her keys. "Aha here it is!" exclaimed Cadence. This key was pretty easy to find due to the bright yellow tint. Cadence inserted the key into the socket, turned and opened the gate to Fredbear's Funtime Festivities. When the gates opened, Cadence was greeted by a gust of howling wind. "Alright let's do this," Cadence replied with confidence. Then, as soon as she took one step, a strong terrifying sensation shot through her body. "What?" Cadence, who had been confident up till this point suddenly couldn't stop trembling in fear. What was it? This Feeling, she was sure she had felt this before, but this time around it was definitely not good. Somewhere in the park a voice chuckled, "Heh," Somepony was watching her but she didn't know who. However the strong sensation of the eyes of somepony drilling into her back seemed to grow more terrifying by the moment. Cadence closed her eyes and turned around shining the light behind her. "Who's there?" "Is somepony there?" Nothing but silent. Cadence shined the light around the park to see if check if she was alone. Sure enough her light caught not sign of life except the plants near the entrance. Cadence let out a sigh of relief and lowered the flashlight. "Heh who am I kidding there is no way that somepony could get into the park when it's heavily locked," She turned back around and said, "I've got a job to do I need to focus," Recollecting her courage she started down the path to the first attraction. She knew little about the mysterious figure hiding behind the plaza's fountain. Freddy's Funland Amusement Park: Fredbear's Funtime Festivities When Cadence arrived at the attraction she was expecting rides like a Ferris Wheel and Roller Coasters. She, however, wasn't expecting it to be indoors. "This must be one of those indoor attractions," said Cadence. Unlocking the doors and walking in, Cadence noticed that other than the entrance counters there was a roller skating rink to the left of the building, an arcade to the right, and a show stage across from where she was standing. Cadence walked over to the skating rink and shined the light on a sign that read Spring Bonnie's Skating Rink. "Hmm skating huh probably should invite the family here to skate when the park opens," said Cadence. She walked across the room to the arcade and shined the light on the sign. "Fredbear Fun N' Games sounds like something Spike might like," said Cadence thinking about Spike. Walking in, Cadence noticed that the machines were on for some reason. "Strange didn't Gears say that all technology in the park was supposed to be off?" Cadence, wanting to shrug it off, couldn't stop thinking about why the machines were on as she went from machine to machine shutting them off. A voice spoke up, "Hey there buddy," Cadence turned around shining the light panicked. "Who's there?" But there was nothing but silence. "Dear Celestia I really need to stop scaring myself," said Cadence wiping her forehead. She walked out of the arcade on guard in case something decided to jump out at her. Nothing. Finally it was time to check on the main attraction, the animatronics. Cadence shined the light on the stage where a yellow bear and bunny was stationed, Fredbear and Spring Bonnie. Cadence checked her watch. 3:20 AM. Sighing she walked up on stage inspecting the animatronics. "Fredbear and Spring Bonnie the very first animatronics to be created," whispered Cadence. The two animatronics were unresponsive but seemed like they could come to life any moment. Cadence stepped down from the stage and noticed the doors were shut. "Weird I don't remember closing those doors," Cadence walked over to the doors and fiddled with them. "What since when did I lock the doors?" "You didn't," a voice spoke up behind her. Freaked out she flashed the light behind her and noticed a black silhouette of a figure on stage next to Fredbear. Screaming Cadence dropped the flashlight on the ground and scrambled to grab it. Quickly getting up she shined the light at the stage again and noticed that the figure was gone. "Oh buck," Cadence cursed. She shined the light around the building only to hear a crash coming from the skate lockers. She ran to the lockers and noticed a ton of skates strewn across the floor. "Double buck," Cadence cursed again. Meanwhile on the stage the figure in black hit Fredbear on the back causing him to power to life. The sound of a loud bang made Cadence jump and run out of the skate lockers. Unfortunately one of her legs hit a chair leg nearby causing her to fall. Cadence scrambled to her feet and shined the light only to find Fredbear not beside his companion. Cadence's eyes widened as she cursed for the third time, "Triple Buck," A voice spoke up behind her, "You better watch your mouth miss," followed by a giggle. "I swear to Celestia whoever is doing this you'll be sorry," said Cadence. "Oh we will?" said another voice coming from the stage. Cadence flashed the light to find Spring Bonnie missing too. "This is a whole lot of nopes," said Cadence now absolutely terrified. The first voice spoke up, "Sounds like she's boned," Cadence looked behind her to find a figure retreating behind the entrance counter. Cadence yelped and dropped her flashlight. "Oh not again," As Cadence felt for her flashlight, somepony picked it up and handed it to her. "Oh sweet Celestia thank you," "No problem," replied the second voice At this point Cadence froze and looked up to find Fredbear staring down at her with a big grin on his face. "Hi there buddy," said Fredbear. Just as Cadence was scooting back Spring Bonnie emerges from the darkness and stands behind her. "So Fredbear how are we going to do this?" Spring Bonnie asked. Cadence terrified asks, "Do what?" "It's easy just like this," says Fredbear as he wraps his arms around Cadence's stomach and picks her up "Well done you two," said another voice. "Who's there?" Cadence calls out. Suddenly from the darkness a withered black animatronic wearing a yellow bow tie and top hat emerges and stares directly into Cadence's eyes. "Wh, who are you?" asks Cadence. The animatronic glares at the Princess with it's red eyes and says, "Your worst Nightmare," Spring Bonnie walks up to the animatronic and asks, "So what are we going to do with her?" "Isn't it obvious make her pay of course," says the animatronic. "Pay, pay for what, what did I do?" asks Cadence. The animatronic scoffs and says, "Hmph you ask too many questions," Cadence didn't understand what he meant, but when he said he was going to make her pay she felt like he wasn't talking about anything good. Not wanting to find out, Cadence begin to wriggle and squirm trying to escape but the animatronic just laughed. "It's useless Fredbear has a grip of steel and even if you WERE to escape you can't hide for long," Cadence checked her watch, 5:50 AM. She had to find a way, that's when she remembered. She chuckled and said, "That may be true but I guess I should've mentioned that I can use magic!!!" That's when her horn began to glow and with a bright flash she was gone from Fredbear's grip. The two animatronics not understanding what happened began to look around the building for the pony but no sign of her. The animatronic was about to head out when he heard the familiar sound of a bell. "Hmph you got away this time but next time you won't be so lucky mark my words," growled the animatronic. Cadence had appeared at the front gates when she heard the clock tower go off. Cadence fell on the ground exhausted and relieved. She had managed to get through the first night. "I did it," said Cadence. Just then Nitro appeared on the other side of the gates. "So miss Cadenza how was it," asks Nitro Cadence nods and gets up. "Well that's good to hear glad your still alive you must be tired let's get you home," said Nitro letting Cadence out. "A nice rest is good enough for me," said Cadence. Cadence thanked Nitro and went home for the day. Night 1 Complete > Chapter 3: Nightmares Becomes Reality > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fazbear HQ: President's Office "I'm sorry to disturb you while work hours Mr. Gears," said Nitro apologetically "It's fine," replied Mech. "By the way what is it you wanted to talk to me about?'" asked Mech. "It's about the animatronics," answered Nitro. "Did miss Cadenza tamper with them?" asked Mech. "No all the other animatronics were fine its the faulty animatronic I wanted to talk about," answered Nitro. "The black bear?" asked Mech. "Nightmare," Nitro corrected. "Right, right Nightmare," said Mech waving his hoof. "So what exactly is wrong with Nightmare other than the fact that it's faulty?" asks Mech. "I went to check the attractions this morning and found Nightmare on the stage with Fredbear and Spring Bonnie," answered Mech. Mech froze. "Didn't you say that you didn't program for him to move?" asked Mech. "Yes let alone I made sure that he wouldn't even activate," answered Nitro. 'I'm assuming it's the new guard, she might have intentionally moved it," said Nitro. [ b]Crystal Empire 11:00 PM "Hey Spike where's my badge?" Cadence called out. The Princess of love had managed to survive the first night and was now preparing for her second. "Here I found it on the kitchen table," said Spike handing Cadence her badge. "Oh silly me," said Cadence clipping her badge on her uniform. "Thanks Spike," she said smiling. "Anytime glad to help," replied Spike. "By the way isn't it too early to leave your shift starts at midnight right?" asks Spike. "Yeah but my manager wanted to talk to me about some things so he told me to get their early," replied Cadence putting on her hat. "Oh well good luck tonight," said Spike. "Thanks," said Cadence. She waved Twilight and Spike before making her way to the park. Freddy's Funland Amusement Park 11:30 Nitro checked his watch as he waited for Cadence to arrive. He looked up when hearing the sound of hoofsteps approaching him. "Thanks for coming out here this early Miss Cadenza," "No problem I wasn't planning to do anything anyway so..." "Well your on your second night so congrats," said Nitro clapping his hooves. "Thanks," replied Cadence checking her bag for her belongings. "By the way didn't you want to talk to me about something?" asked Cadence "Yeah um you didn't go to the storage by any chance did you?" asked Nitro "No I was in Fredbear's attraction the whole time," replied Cadence "Why?" she asked. "It's just that there was an animatronic that wasn't supposed to be there standing on the stage with Fredbear and Spring Bonnie during my shifts this morning," said Nitro. Cadence froze. She looked over and asked, "What did it look like," "Well it was black and withered with a yellow bow tie and top hat," answered Nitro. Her heart sank when she heard Nitro describing the animatronic. "Um Miss Cadenza are you ok?" asked Nitro "You just suddenly turned pale all of a sudden," "Uh yeah I'm fine," said Cadence sweating. "You met him didn't you?" asked Nitro Cadence couldn't hide it. She looked over and slowly nodded. Nitro wiped his forehead with a handkerchief and said, "Listen I need to tell you something," He seemed to hesitate before continuing. "That animatronic wasn't supposed to be up ad moving," Cadence felt her heart stop and looked over. "He was supposed be locked away in the storage where nopony could get their hooves on him," said Nitro. Trembling Cadence asked, "Wh, who is he?" Nitro seemed to hesitate before answering, "He was...." However Nitro's statement was cut short as if he stopped himself. "No I can't say!" said Nitro suddenly upset. "Miss Cadenza are you sure you didn't just intentionally move him just to mess with me and Mr. Gears?" asked Nitro Cadence shook her head in denial. "Listen Miss Cadenza I suggest you to just go home and let me deal with your shift tonight," said Nitro. "What why?" ask Cadence. "I can't say," said Nitro. "Please don't make me," Cadence suddenly worried said, "If you have an answer tell me," Suddenly Nitro jumped up and cried, "NO YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND MISS CADENZA!!!" "That animatronic, he isn't what you think he is," said Nitro trembling. "If you go in there he, Nightmare will kill you!" cried nitro now upset. "Please Miss Cadenza I'm begging you don't go into the park tonight," Nitro pleaded. "If Nightmare kills you then I...." his statement was once again stopped short. Cadence now angry screamed, "LISTEN IF YOU DON'T HAVE A REASON THEN THERE'S NOTHING YOU CAN DO TO STOP ME!!!" She opened the gate and let herself. "No Miss Cadenza," Nitro started to his feet. He grabbed the bars before calling out, "PLEASE DON'T DO THIS!!!" She turned around with tears rolling down her cheeks and whispered, "I'm sorry," As Nitro tried to call out to her, the sound of bells began to ring indicating the start of the night. Forcing a smile Cadence turned her back on Nitro and walked into the park while Nitro called out to her. Night 2: 12:00 AM "Well here I go," said Cadence gulping. Now from what Nitro said, the animatronic's name should be Nightmare. But why was Nitro so cautious when the topic of Nightmare was brought up? That was a question she would be asking during her shift. The weird thing was Nitro brought up the talk himself. Something was not right, he was hiding something and she was determined to find out what it was. Cadence fiddled with her keys and found the one that led to Nightmare Nations. She unlocked the gate and walked down the path. When she arrived she found another building and groaned. "Is this entire park indoors?" she mumbled. Cadence rolled her eyes and unlocked the door. When inside she noticed that the design of the building was somewhat similar to the plaza. The entire building was curved to make it look like a circle. Shining her light to her left she found that the attraction was filled with rides and games around the entire building. Starting to her left was a game called Fun with Nightmare Balloon Boy. This was a game consisting of a long hallway leading a chair where an animatronic settled. There were two pairs of doorways, two in the front and back, with a giant X on where Cadence was. The goal of the game was to stop Nightmare Balloon Boy on the X. "Huh interesting game," Cadence said shrugging. Next to that was a food court called Nightmare Mangle's Menacing Meals which was like an ordinary food court. The next segment was completely taken by Nightmare Fredbear's Fear Rides which consisted of an indoor roller coaster and so on. Since the next attraction was being blocked by a giant counter in the very center of the plaza, Cadence had to go around to the back to see what other games and rides were built. Next to Nightmare Fredbear's attraction was Nightmare Chica and Jack-O-Chica's Cupcake/Pumpkin toss which just looked like a bean bag toss game like at the carnivals. Next to that was Nightmare Freddy's Frighting Freddles which was one of those classic whack-a-mole game but instead of moles it was little creepy Freddy dolls called Freddles. Next to that was Nightmare Bonnie and Jack-O-Bonnie's Bone Chilling Bass Challenge which was an arcade machine with a blue and orange guitar labeled Player 1 and Player 2. The goal was simple Players simply had to choose random music and whoever can hit the most right notes was the winner. "I guess this one is for music lovers," said Cadence. "I bet Octavia and Vinyl would love this game," chuckled Cadence. Suddenly Cadence felt as if somepony or something was watching her. Assuming that it was Nightmare she decided to ignore the feeling and move on. Next to Bonnie's game was Nightmare Foxy's Fear Rides which obviously consisted of rides but instead of rides like roller coasters and all the extreme action rides, this one mostly consisted of a bouncing haunted house and bumper cars and more mild rides. Chuckling Cadence mumbled, "I bet Flurry would love Bumper cars," The final game in the attraction was Fun with Plushtrap which was similar to Fun with Nightmare Balloon Boy but instead the animatronic was a plush version of Springtrap. Cadence shrugged and mumbled, "The only difference is the animatronics," She looked around and decided that everything looked ok when she realized that the counter in the center was also part of the attraction. In the center was Nightmarionne's Prize Corner which was a normal prize counter but with a giant gift box next to it. Assuming that the animatronic was in the box she decided to head back. But before that she checked her watch. 4:00 AM. she still had time. Looking around the attraction, she just realized how creepy it looked in the dark. "Relax all the animatronics are deactivated there is no way they could come to life," she said. "Don't count on it," said a voice. Flinching she turned around to see if Nightmare was behind her, surprisingly he wasn't and neither was Nightmare Balloon Boy or Plushtrap. "Wait what?" Cadence shined her light to find both Nightmare Balloon Boy and Plushtrap missing from their games. "Oh my Celestia since when were they gone?" she asked. Suddenly the sound of what seemed to be breathing was heard from behind her she turned around to see two figures retreat behind the prize corner to her left and two figures to her right. "What the buck?" cursed Cadence. That's when see saw it or rather heard it, the sound of a child's music box. Cadence shined her light on the gift box to find that it was opened. "Wait since when!?" she yelped. That's when she heard it, the sound of demonic laughter filled the building. "What?" Cadence whimpered. It was at this point when her flash light started to flicker. "What the buck?" she cursed smacking the light. "Screech.." the sound of mechanical whirring was coming from behind Cadence. She slowly turned around pointed her flashlight behind her and turned it on. That was a mistake. "Gotcha!!" roared Nightmare Freddy. Cadence yelped and fell back as Nightmare Freddy closed in on her. She looked to her left to find Nightmare Bonnie and Jack-O-Bonnie staring intently at her. Same with Nightmare Chica and Jack-O-Chica to her right. Meanwhile Nightmare Foxy on the ground behind her and Nightmare Mangle hanging on the ceiling of the prize corner. Nightmarionne was beside Nightmare Chica with Plushtrap on it's shoulders and Nightmare Balloon Boy and it's feet and Nightmare Fredbear next to Jack-O-Bonnie. "Oh crap," said Cadence. "Outta the way," growled a voice. As Nightmare Freddy moved away it revealed a familiar black animatronic. "Nightmare," said Cadence. Nightmare glared at Cadence with it's blood red eyes. As Cadence tried to stand, Nightmare grabbed her by the mane and picked her up. Cadence winced in pain and said, "Nightmare what do you want with me?" Nightmare growled and said, "That's something you should already know," Cadence took a quick glance at her watch, 5:40 AM. "Let me go," Nightmare laughed and said, "Unlikely you may have escaped me yesterday but today you won't be so lucky," Cadence quickly flashed her light in Nightmare's eyes making him drop her. Now was her chance she quickly ran between Nightmare's legs and bolted towards the exit. "STOP HER!!!" Nightmare roared. The animatronics obeyed and begin chasing Cadence towards the front gate. Freddy's Funland Amusement Park: Front Gate Nitro was trying hard to get the locks off the gate. He would've unlocked the gate if Cadence hadn't taken his keys with her. "BUCK!!!!" he cursed. He leaned his head against the gates in frustration when he heard the sound of galloping hoofsteps. He looked up to find Cadence rushing towards him."Oh thank Celestia your alive," he said. "Yeah but not for long," said Cadence fiddling with keys. "Give me my keys and I'll let you out," said Nitro. Cadence didn't have time to argue and gave Nitro his keys back. "Come on," said Cadence panicked. "Um Miss Cadenza," said Nitro. "What?" asked Cadence. She saw that Nitro was staring behind her. She didn't have to guess. She slowly turned around to find Nightmare standing behind her. See attempted to scream but before she knew she found Nightmare's hand around her neck and her hooves off the ground. "I finally caught you," growled Nightmare. "Cadence wrapped her hooves around Nightmare's wrist, "Buck you Nightmare," Cadence choked. "So that's how it's gonna go," growled Nightmare. "Miss Cadenza hang on I'll help you," said Nitro. He was furiously trying to find the keys so he could help Cadence. He checked the time 5:59 AM. "Oh please hurry," said Nitro. Cadence struggled against Nightmare but his grip was to strong. He looked Cadence in the eye and said, "Die," It was at this moment when the bell rang indicating that it was 6:00 AM. Nightmare growled and let Cadence go. Nitro quickly unlocked the gate and rushed to her side. Meanwhile Nightmare spoke up, "Don't you go thinking your lucky for surviving two nights in a row," With that he walked away from the two and disappeared into the park. "Miss Cadenza are you ok?" asked Nitro. Cadence coughed before answering, "Yeah I'm fine," "Oh thank Celestia," said Nitro crying. It was a moment before he spoke up, "I'll take you home," Night 2 Complete > Chapter 4: Toyed by Toys > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fazbear Headquarters: President's Office "So Miss Cadenza managed to survive the second night?" asked Mech. "Yes although she almost died by the hands of Nightmare," answered Nitro. "I was scared half to death if it wasn't for the bell on the clock tower to signal the end of the night Nightmare would've definitely killed her," said Nitro. Mechanical Gears nodded and said, "I've got a call from her husband she's in bed recovering from the experience," "I, I see I guess that means I will have to take her spot for tonight," said Nitro. Suddenly there was a knock on the door followed by a voice, "Um may I come in?" "Go ahead," answered Mech. The door opened and a purple mare with with a pink and purple mane walked in. "Oh who do we have here?" asked Mech. "Um hi I'm Twilight Sparkle and well Cadence sent me here to talk to you about her shift," said the mare. Nitro and Mech looked at each other and nodded. Freddy's Funland Amusement Park: Front Gates 11:40 PM Twilight stood by the gates waiting for the stallion named Nitro Robotic Buildup. He was supposed to see her off but for some reason he didn't show up. Twilight had talked to Mechanical Gears about Cadence. Cadence had asked for the night off after the animatronic named Nightmare almost took her life. Twilight had agreed to take her spot for just tonight and Mech wasn't willing to argue with her. Now Twilight just stood in front of the gates wearing Cadence's night guard uniform waiting for Nitro. She checked her watch. 11:55 PM. Groaning Twilight said, "If I stay out here any longer my shift is going to be over by the time Nitro shows up," Deciding she wasn't gonna wait she unlocked the gates and walked in. Night 3 12:00 AM Twilight came out from underneath the clock tower and looked around the plaza. "From what Cadence said the first two attractions is perfectly fine when she did her shift so I guess I'm onto the third attraction," She walked towards the third set of gates and shinned her light. "Toy Time Land huh," said Twilight. She shined the light past the gate. "Well this is creepy but I have to do it for Cadence," said Twilight opening the gate. As she walked down the path she ended up in a huge opened up area. "Interesting," said Twilight. "Cadence said the first two attractions were indoor I guessed Mr. Gears wanted to change things up a bit," said Twilight. Twilight shined her light around the area and noticed there was a Ferris Wheel, a bounce house, and a giant roller coaster in this attraction. Twilight shrugged and took one step to the left. Twilight froze. For some reason she felt like she was being watched by not just one but two or three somepony or something. Slowly she turned around to find a cart of balloons sitting there. Trembling she walked towards the cart. But before she could even get within an feet or two from the cart, the sound of running feet behind her caused her to swerve to face behind her. "Yar har ha, ha har Ya, ha," said a glitched voice. Twilight shined her light on the figure standing there. Squinting she said, "Foxy?" Twilight had easily recognized the animatronic from it's hook and eye patch. Twilight walked over to the withered animatronic replica and shinned the light in it's one eye. The animatronic yelped and covered it's one eye with his hands. Twilight stepped back when her flank bumped into something behind her. She turned around to find Freddy but shiner with a new look. "Freddy?" Twilight asked. Freddy turned around with glowing red eyes and stared intently at Twilight. Panicked, Twilight had forgotten that withered Foxy was behind her. The animatronic grabbed her and laughed, "Gotcha!" Screaming Twilight used her magic to teleport away from the animatronics. She appeared in between the roller coaster and food court attraction. Thinking she was safe Twilight slumped down not noticing Withered Bonnie, Toy Chica, and Mangle behind her. She checked her watch. 2:15 AM. Wiping her forehead with her handkerchief, Twilight flashed the light around the park. She noticed that Toy Freddy and Withered Foxy was walking around, possibly searching for her, now with Withered Chica and Toy Bonnie joining them. "Doesn't she notice us?" whispered Withered Bonnie to the two toys. "I don't think so," answered Toy Chica. "By the way Mangle isn't your voice box supposed to be jacked up?" whispered Toy Chica. Mangle nodded. "I'm assuming you took out your voice box before this," whispered Bonnie. Mangle nodded. "Um guys," said Toy Chica. Withered Bonnie and Mangle turned towards Toy Chica then looked towards the direction where she was looking. Twilight was staring at the three trembling. Withered Bonnie looked at the two. Toy Chica nodded her head. Withered Bonnie turned towards Twilight and let out a screech reaching over to her. Twilight's instincts instantly struck as she jumped up and ran away from the three screaming. "Dammit," cursed Bonnie. "Oh come on Bonnie stop acting pissed off and come on," said Toy Chica running after her. Bonnie groaned and followed Toy Chica followed by Mangle. Twilight had managed to escape the terrors so far but it was still far off from 6 AM. Hiding behind the bush, she poked her head out as she saw multiple animatronic figures walking around the attraction. She sank back behind the bush catching her from all the running. When she heard the sound of footsteps coming closer to the bush she was hiding, she covered her mouth with her hooves to hold her breath. As the footsteps stopped right behind the bush, a tear rolled down her cheek thinking to herself, "Please go away, please go away, please go away," She shouldn't have agreed to this, it would've been better off if she went to that terrible gala instead of replacing Cadence for the night. It seemed like almost an hour before the footsteps finally moved on. Twilight slowly moved her hooves away from her mouth quietly gasping for air. She put her hooves over her chest coughing as quiet as possible. She checked her watch. 3:50 AM. 3 more hours. Twilight slowly poked her head out from behind her bush to find that the animatronics were gone. Slowly walking out she looked around the attraction to see if any animatronics were still out. She let out a sigh of relief when she found no animatronics walking around, "Thank Celestia I'm safe," said Twilight. 'I wouldn't be too sure," replied a voice. Twilight froze and slowly turned around to find the Puppet standing behind her. Flinching she stepped back with a terrified look on her face. "Don't you think you've had enough time?" said the Puppet. "What?" asked Twilight. The Puppet snapped his fingers revealing the animatronics standing around her. "Don't think we'll let you go that easily," said the puppet. Twilight had to think fast in order to escape. Then it hit her. "You will be ours lass," laughed Withered Foxy. "Now," Twilight gave herself the signal and flashed the light in Foxy's face causing him to jump backwards. Then she ran through the opening and made her way towards the front gate. "STOP HER!!!!" screeched the puppet. The animatronics obeyed and chased after Twilight. Twilight ran out of Toy Time Land and quickly locked the gate behind her just as Withered Foxy ran right into it. he started clawing at Twilight with his hook just as the other animatronics caught up. Twilight back up from the gates and ran towards the front gate not looking back. "Screw this I'm not finishing this shift," said Twilight. She checked her watch, it was only 4:10 AM. She suddenly tripped over something and fell face first into the fountain. When she looked up she saw the puppet holding onto her legs. "Caught you," laughed the puppet. Twilight screamed as she kicked the puppet in the face. The Puppet turned towards Twilight and said, "So that's how your gonna play it," The puppet clenched his hands on her hooves and twisted it, causing a surge of pain to shoot up her entire hind legs. Twilight screamed in pain and scrapped at the ground. Wincing and clenching her teeth she tried to escape, but the puppet tightened his grip eventually crushing her hind legs. Tears rolled down her cheeks as she winced from the pain. "Stop please," sobbed Twilight. The puppet scoffed and let go of her legs. Twilight reached over and held her legs sobbing, "It hurts," "I bet i does," said the puppet. He walked hovered over to Twilight and stomped on her front legs with force. A loud snap caused Twilight to let out a scream of agony as she continued to sob. "Please don't do this," cried Twilight. But the puppet wasn't done. He grabbed Twilight's horn and snapped it in half like a piece of wood, Twilight sobbed harder. The puppet then grabbed one of her wings and tore it off like a piece of paper. "NO!!!!!" Twilight sobbed. She looked in horror as blood gushed out from the wound. The puppet jabbed his fingers into her side and forcefully shoved them in leaving a huge hole in her side. He finally let Twilight drop on the ground as she trembled. The pain was too much even for her. She was breathing hard and gasped for air like something was choking her as she winced. She had to clench her teeth from screaming but she couldn't take it. The puppet was just about to finish her off when the clock tower struck the bell signaling the end of the night. The puppet looked down at Twilight and laughed. "I didn't get a chance to kill you but I had fun," said the puppet. He turned around and started heading back. Twilight sobbing reached out towards the front gate. Her vision blurred. She started closing her eyes as her world began to leave her and then she couldn't feel anything. Night 3 Complete
