It seemed like an ordinary day in Equestria, but something happened that day, something bad. There is a research lab in the Everfree Forest run by a pony of no name, a pony who everypony calls: “Dex”. They were working on a potion that can bring the dead back to life, but something went horribly wrong. Dex accidentally added a chemical to it, unbeknownst to him and his crew. But it wasn’t until a month later when this potion got out and was used to revive a dead relative, and that’s where it began.
Twilight was reading a book in the library of her castle when a pony delivered a letter to her from Celestia stating the current events. The note says: “My dearest Twilight, a zombie uprising has broken out because of an incompetent pony at the Everfree Forest, who made a failed resurrection potion. I want you to warn Ponyville immediately.”
Twilight gasps. “A zombie uprising!?” she gasped. “I gotta warn everypony!” So she heads to town hall and tells Mayor Mare about it, showing her the note from Celestia.
Twilight gathered her friends at her castle.
“A zombie uprising?” scoffed Rainbow Dash, “yeah right.”
Twilight looks at Rainbow, “Princess Celestia would never lie to me, Rainbow,” she said.
“But, still, maybe it’s a joke… right?” asked Rainbow Dash, hopefully.
Twilight shook her head. “I’m afraid not,” she said.
Rarity gasped. “We gotta lock ourselves in here so they can’t find us and get to us and bite us!” she said dramatically.
“Easy there, Rarity,” said Applejack. “No need to take things outta proportion.”
“Don’t take things out of proportion!? These are zombies for pony’s sake!” exclaimed Rarity.
“Rarity calm down!” exclaimed Twilight. “We’ll be safe in here. Where’s Spike?”
“He’s not here!?” shouted Rarity.
“No…” said Twilight.
Spike was in fact not in the castle, but outside of it, wandering around, not knowing of any zombies. He then heard some groaning. The groaning of a zombie pony that had used the potion. He saw the zom-pony and ran away, but his little legs could only carry him so fast, the pony caught up to him. The zombie pony bit Spike, and Spike had let out a scream to which Twilight and her friends heard. They looked out the window and saw the zombie biting Spike, but don’t do anything as it is too late.
“Spikey-Wikey!” exclaimed Rarity in horror.
“He’s gone, Rarity, it’s too late…” said Twilight, matter-of-factly.
“But now he’ll go around infecting all of Ponyville,” said Applejack.
“Well it was nice knowing him,” said Rainbow Dash.
“He was a good friend,” said Fluttershy.
“He will be missed,” said Pinkie.
They barricaded their doors so no zombie can get in. They also can’t write notes to Celestia because Spike has been bitten. Then they heard the zombie that bit Spike.
“Leave us alone, you ruffian!” shouts Rarity. “You took Spike from us!”
