The specter watched one of the intruders separate from the rest of his group after being ordered to "find a safe place to rest."
The specter, invisible and unable to touch anything at the moment, followed this 'Sunny' down the halls, waiting for the perfect moment to strike.
12:00 AM
Sunny walked done the corridor, and, being a 'Newfoal' as all ponified humans were referred to as, was oblivious to the obvious sinister undertones of his surroundings.
Then he tripped.
He got back up, turned around, and saw what he had tripped over: a cell phone.
Which immediately started ringing.
As a Newfoal, Sunny was incapable of full-range thinking. And, as a result of his one-track cognition, didn't even stop to ponder as to what the hell a cell phone was lying around in this place, where there was no signal. Let alone how it could work with no fucking battery.
But, Sunny was a Newfoal. So he only stared at the ringing phone, wishing that it would stop.
Eventually it did, but then a voice emanated from its speakers; "Uh, hello? Hello hello, oh hey there! Um, what are you doing here? Why'd you come here?! With all those other guys?! Didn't any of you notice that this place is closed down for... um... safety and health reasons? Yeah, safety and health reasons! Yes, that's why this location is closed! You guys really, uh... you guys really shouldn't have come here. I mean, don't any of you remember the uh, the Bite of '87? Or the, oh why did it happen?, the uh... the Missing Children Incident? Oh no, it's, uh, it's really close to, y'know, midnight. It's, uh, well it's gonna be to dangerous to leave the eh premises? 'til six AM, so you're all gonna have to, well, um, just , well basically survive the night 'til then. And, well, normally this would be the point where I'd, well, I'd give you the, uh, well the advice you all are gonna need to, well uh, survive! But, unfortunately, I'm uh, well I'm all out of time, so, well good luck and good night!"
There it was.
The voice.
The voice of the fear.
The voice of the torment.
The voice of the dread.
The voice of the panic.
The voice of the anger.
The voice of the secrets.
The voice of the revenge.
The voice of the Company's "Phone Guy" as he had long ago been dubbed.
The voice that was the signal.
The voice that, every Night, was the signal.
The voice that, for every single one of all five of the Nights, was always the signal.
The signal.
The signal to begin.
The signal to begin the Night.
The signal to begin the 1st Night.
Tonight.
Tonight is that Night.
Tonight is Night One.
The intruders won't reach 6 AM.
They will not survive the Night.
Because they aren't ready.
They never are.
-*Later*-
Sunny stared at the poster in front of him. It depicted a dark brown colored bear wearing a hat. Despite being a Newfoal, Sunny could still feel mystified by the poster, it was almost as though the poster had some strange sort of otherworldly properties. Sunny looked around the room, and then turned back to the poster. Which now depicted an eyeless golden version of the bear that was originally depicted on the poster.
Two words began to continuously flash in front of Sunny's eyes: 'IT'S ME'.
-*Meanwhile*-
"Why the bucking hay is that scrying stone going nuts?!" Firefly exclaimed as she freaked out.
They had been observing Sunny from the moment that they had sent the Newfoal out. They had all witnessed Sunny receiving the apparent 'phone call from beyond the grave'.
But from the moment Sunny had entered the room he was currently in, the scrying stone became unreliable and suffered from an increasing amount of interference that was very similar to electronic static.
"I... don't... know," Sparkler replied with confusion.
-*Back With Sunny*-
Sunny turned around and saw the slumped body of an eyeless golden bear right in front of him. Sunny walked up to it,... and touched it's nose. >HONK!<
-*Meanwhile*-
The agents of Ponification for Earth's Rebirth could only stare in shock when the scrying stone did something that it was incapable of doing: it shifted to Sunny's point of view!
They all saw with Sunny as he walked up to the strange yellow bear and honk its nose.
They all saw the yellow bear disappear, only to suddenly reappear in a more horrific and demonic form!
