Chapter 2: The Second Night

Rage was leaving the cloud home of Rainbow Dash where he was living with a bag on him as he lands on the ground. He wanted to set a few things up between closing and his shift. As Rage walks down the path he hears an ecstatic yell.

"RAGIE!" it was Pinkie Pie who was bouncing up to him

"Pinkie Pie we've talked about this I don't like being called that..." Rage sighs

"You don't like being called anything but Rage. That's no fun!" Pinkie Pie puts

"Maybe because that's the name my father gave me." Rage sighs "Anyways what do you want?"

"I wanted to thank you for taking over for Fluttershy it's real nice of you!" she says "Speaking of which are you heading in now? I just locked up."

"Yeah," Rage responds "I wanted to get there while the sun was still up so I wouldn't trip over anything from the kids who are shoved out at closing dropping junk."

"Okie Dokie Lokie!" Pinkie Pie says bouncing off leaving Rage to the path ahead.

Rage reaches the entertainment place that was Pinkies Partyrific Pizzeria and opens the door before heading to the security office and putting his bag down spilling the contents on the desk. And out pured a bunch of different items including rope, sensors, large batteries, spell books, two small speakers with sounds programmed into them and a few other bits and bots. Walking into the arcade he put a speaker down hidden in a corner. The goes to the stage putting up one of the motion sensors and walks over to the Flutterbot and opens a small manual before opening her back pannel where a small console computer flipped out. "Let's see here..." he says to himself inputting a command and she springs to life before turning

"Rage!" she says "Are the others up?"

"no," Rage shakes his head "I turned you on early." he replies "I brought somethings to help out tonight a few of my own tricks."

"None of them will harm the others right?" Flutterbot asks

"The worst they can do is lock their joints for a while." Rage replies "Want to help me finish setting up?"

"Sure." Flutterbot responds and follows Rage to the office where he had her set up two sensorsin the hall way with flashing lights "What will these do?"she asks

"Well with hope the will blind them." Rage replies

"How do you blind a robotic eye that adjusts?" Flutterbot asks

"It's not a simple light the light flashes on and off at high speed which will blind them or at the least disorient them." Rage replies plugging in a wire into the light

"So what do you do when the power dies?" Flutterbot asks

"That won't be a problem, I got some batteries for the generator." Rage says sitting in the chair with Flutterbot next to him

"So uh... tell me about yourself Rage." Flutterbot asks

[3 hours and 30 minutes later 3:30 AM]

"...And that's my life up till now pretty much." Rage says putting away a notebook with rather well visuals he drew to help Flutterbot understand

"Wow so you come from-" Flutterbot starts but is cut off

"Ah!" Rage says "You can't let others know where I am from that breaks the rules."

"What rules?" Flutterbot asks

"The universal rules. Rule Wall the 4th: never mention out of world concepts to others." Rage says

"But you just told me so did you just break the 4th Wall rule?" Flutterbot asks

"No it doesn't apply to Artificial Intelligence." Rage answers

"You would know best." Flutterbot says "You know it's strange I haven't heard or seen the others."

"I've got a bad feeling about this..." Rage says turning the cameras on searching for them. "They're not on any of the cameras!" he panics

"We are so dead!" Flutterbot says shaking as Rage looks around and his ear twitches as a thudding is heard from above

"Get out of here." Rage whispers "They are right above us."

"Okay." Flutterbot says slipping out of the room and Rage watches the hatch to the air ducts swing open and he picks a metal canister out of his bag with his magic as bits of his sensors drop with the other bots minus Pinkiebot

"Well,well,well" Pinkiebot says as she drops down "the nightpony Rage it's been a while."

"It hasn't even been 24 hours." Rage replies

"Did you really think those fancy do-hickies would work partner?"Applejack asks

"I was hoping so but... oh well." Rage sighs

"You're trapped there's no escape." Twibot says "all the data show's your not able to reach a door and you have no method of defense."

'gee even the Twilight robot is a smartass...' Rage groans in his head as Raribot pulls out an animatronic suit

"I think you will look adorable in this." she says

"Just make this easy on us and give up." Pinkiebot says

"Not so fast!" Rage says throwing the canister at them and it bounces off Dashbot and the all laugh

"What is that?" Pinkiebot laughs

"An EMP canister." Rage smirks

"wait did you say-" Twibot starts before the canister releases an energy pulse turning them off.

"That should keep them off for the rest of the night." Rage chuckles "Okay it's safe to come out!" he calls and Flutterbot slips out from behind the doors.

"what did you do to them?!" she gasps

"they're fine just shut down for the next two to three hours." Rage says "Can you help me move them back to the stage?"

[1 hour later 5:50 AM]

"Well thanks for the help Flutterbot." Rage thanks her as she returns to her place on stage

"See you tomorrow night?"she asks

"you bet." Rage winks as he walks out and locks up before heading to Rainbow's home where she sees him walk in.

"Hay Rage how was work?" she asks

"Just sitting and watching the cameras like last night... nothing much." he sighs

"Oh sounds boring." Rainbow says

"Yeah but worth the 200 bits." Rage says
