Ok so… this is going to be an interesting story, I am going to be using a form of animatronics. The main Animatronic, Mangle, will be based on a version i have seen on Youtube. She (yes it is a she in this story) Has a snake like endoskeleton, with the extra head, two arms, and a few pieces of her "suit" clinging to the endoskeleton. She has no legs, and has an animated look. remember, this is also an MLP fanfic. also, i will be adding a backstory to mangle and the other protagonist (no spoilers) and their relationship. Now without further delays, let the story commence!

Mangle opened her eyes, finding herself in a dark forest.
"Why am i in a forest? Where's the Pizzeria?!" She cried.
Rising to her claws, Mangle scanned the area. Finding The area clear, She decided to attempt to recover her memory files.
After an hour of attempted recovery, Mangle finally gave up,
"Urrg! Why am i so broken?" She yelled to the sky, scattering a few birds from their tree homes. Hearing no response, she sighed and started to wander.
-{A Few hours later}-
Mangle dropped her head onto a mossy stone, surprisingly exhausted after a day of wandering the forest.
"How is it even possible for a robot to be tired?" Mangle asked to no one. She sighed. Mangle knew that there was something she was forgetting something important. Deciding to power down for the night, Mangle attempted one last file recovery. but to no avail.
Sighing, Mangle powered down for the night.
That night was torture for poor Mangle, who was plagued with horrible nightmares. The nightmare mainly consisted of a young girl, wandering around a large building. Occasionally, the scenery would flicker to a grotesque image of a bloody robot, with a man dressed in purple. However, these images would only appear for a short second. In spite of this, they were far too long for the poor she-bot. She broke down into sobs. the final image was of a pale face, with long purple streams down it's face, and an eternal eerie smile. A ear splitting sound bombarded Mangle's audio sensors. The Sobbing continued even more intense than before. Mangle felt a warm dull pain on her snout.
The light of dawn reached Mangle's snout, waking her with a start and alerting her to the new day. Mangle broke down into an onslaught of oily tears. She had never experienced a nightmare of that intensity before. She spent about an hour, staining the floor with oil. Finally calming down enough to think straight, she brought herself around to doing a quick system check,

Mangle sighed at the report, knowing she should get repaired, but unable to be repaired. She Brought herself up to her claws, barely willing to properly function. She was still plagued by the memory of her nightmare. A loud howl finally coaxed her into moving. She had to get out of there. Fast.
After 3 hours of aimlessly traversing the strange forest, and encountering very strange creatures, Mangle came across civilization, well a house at least. It was small, with an abundance of birdhouses, and a fenced off area. It was cozy looking, and Mangle was desperate for a place to find directions, and hopefully recharge her near-dead batteries. Mangle hurried towards the cottage, only to stop a dozen feet away from the establishment. She felt her movement slow to a crawl, and her arms slowly stopped reacting to command.
"No…." Mangle whispered, not now….
"Warning! Battery is under 10%. Protocol states that all non-essential functions be shut down to conserve power! Recharge needed or else, permanent damage to memory core."
As Mangle's vision faded to black, she made out the sound of a door opening, and a shadow falling over her.
"H..elp...m...e…"
Then nothing.
-{Fluttershy POV}-
Fluttershy arose in her bed, feeling groggy. She had Spent all day yesterday cleaning her animal friends, and their homes as the winter would be coming soon. She Stretched her body out, earning a few joints cracking. She blushed a bit at the display. Fluttershy shook herself, deciding to go downstairs and get some breakfast.
She descended the wooden stairs towards the kitchen. When she reached the kitchen, however, she was greeted with a half eaten carrot being thrown at her face. The attacker was non other than her bunny, Angel Bunny.
"Angel! I've told you that it is impolite to throw things!" She scolded her pet. Angel merely looked to the carrot which now lay at Fluttershy's hooves. Fluttershy sighed. she could tell this was going to be a long day.
Fluttershy's first order of business, after a good breakfast of a Daisy sandwich, was to visit the local Pet shop, to order the next month's supply of animal feed, not a cheap task, mind you. the total amounted to around 60 bits, however, Fluttershy was more than happy to pay to keep her animal friends happy and healthy. As she left the shop, the shopkeeper called, "Have a nice day, Fluttershy!" To which Fluttershy acknowledged with a couple flaps of her wing.
The next order, was to visit the Crystal Castle, she had promised Spike to check his scales, he had complained about pain while putting pressure on his back spines. When she reached the castle, Fluttershy was greeted with a warm welcome from both residents of the castle. Twilight was very happy to see her friend, and while Spike was clearly in pain from his spines, he smiled happily at the sight of one of his close friends.
Fluttershy explained to Twilight the reason she was here, and followed Spike to his room. Fluttershy insisted that she give the drake a proper check up, as his last one was last year. Spike was a little reluctant, but ultimately agreed. It was a pretty standard check up, like the hundreds she had given him before.
She checked his heart beat, measured his claws and teeth, assets his fire breath. But the moment she put the tiniest bit of pressure on his back, he let out a pitiful whimper. Fluttershy apologized, and was very careful, and used her wings instead of her hooves. Spike grit his teeth and did his best not to cry. After the examination, Fluttershy diagnosed Spike with scale mites, a mite that could cause major discomfort in dragons and other lizards, by digging into their spines and laying eggs. Needless to say, Spike wasn't very happy.
Fluttershy gave the drake a bottle of ointment, instructing him on how to use it. She also told Twilight about his condition, telling her it was best to deal with it now, before the infection spread to the rest of his body. She also recommended hot showers, with a lot of soap. As Fluttershy was about to leave, Twilight offered to host lunch. Fluttershy graciously accepted.
After a delicious and unhealthy lunch, curtosy of Mc Farmalds. Fluttershy decided to go home. Spike insisted she take a hunk of emerald as payment. Fluttershy went home, to store the emerald and to take a quick nap. She was greeted by another carrot, which she blocked with her wings. After scolding Angel another time, Fluttershy decided to go to bed. She trotted up the stairs, and laid back on her bed. she soon drifted off to sleep.
-{a few hours later}-
"Warning! Battery is under 10%. Protocol states that all non-essential functions be shut down to conserve power! Recharge needed or else, permanent damage to memory core."
Fluttershy awoke to a strange voice coming from outside. Looking out her window, she was it was very late. Flutters, now roused from sleep, decided to investigate. With Angel at her side, she ventured out into the night.
After scouting around her her cottage, Fluttershy had uncovered nothing. Angel, however, had uncovered something, and stomped on Fluttershy's tail repeatedly to get her attention. Fluttershy yelped, but calmed down when she realized it was Angel. Angel then pointed to an area of the property, covered in a thick blanket of darkness. he guided Flutters to a large mass in the center of the area. Fluttershy quickly noticed that it was animalistic and wasn't responding. Fluttershy commanded angel to go get Twilight and Spike. He obeyed instantly, and scampered off as Fluttershy dragged the animal into her cottage.
