//------------------------------// // Chapter 2 // Story: Zombie Apocalypse: Equestria // by jsamolis //------------------------------// 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!” Just then a knock is heard on the door. Twilight looked out the window and saw Derpy and lets her in. “Thanks so much everypony,” said Derpy. “First things first, have you been bitten?” asked Twilight. “No no, of course not. The Doctor helped me escape, so I could get help,” explained Derpy. “The Doctor?” asked Twilight. “Yes, he’s my boyfriend,” said Derpy. “Where is he?” asked Twilight. “”At the edge of the Everfree forest in his blue box,” explained Derpy. “A blue box?” said Twilight in a curious tone. “Yes,” said Derpy, though she didn’t wanna endanger her friends by going to him, she thought she had to. She then went to the door, signaling them to follow. “Is that… Spike!?” asked Derpy in a horrified tone. Twilight nodded with tears in her eyes, and after seeing Twilight nod, Derpy cried a little. “Ok, lets go.” Derpy opened the door and used a Dalek laser she got from Doctor Whooves and used it to shoot the zombies. Twilight recognized some of them as Lyra, Bon-Bon and Granny Smith. “Granny!?” shouted Applejack in horror. “No!” The Granny Smith zombie groaned and tried to bite AJ, but Derpy shot her with the laser. The seven ponies ran quickly to Doctor Whooves, Derpy knocked frantically. “Oh hello, my darling Derpy, and friends,” he said as he opened the door. “Hiya Doctor, these are my friends: Twilight, Pinkie, Applejack, Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash and Rarity,” she explained. “Hello girls,” greeted the Doctor. “Hello Doctor,” they greeted. They entered the TARDIS and then conversed about the upcoming epidemic. The Doctor told everypony that he had enough weaponry for the eight of them. They’re a little skeptical at first, but realized the only way to survive is to kill the zombies. “I, for one, am against violence and weapons, but if its the only way to survive then I will do what I must,” declared Rarity. “I know The Doctor’s weapons are totally awesome!” exclaimed Rainbow Dash. “Um, I don’t feel comfortable using lasers,” said Fluttershy shyly. “But ya gotta, Fluttershy,” said Applejack, “for Granny Smith and Spike.” “Yeah, Fluttershy, for them and any other of our friends who may have been infected,” said Twilight. “Let’s get this Zom-Party started!!” shouted Pinkie. They soon headed out, with only one goal in mind: to survive. And the only way to do that is kill zombies, no matter who they may be. Whether they be friends or family, they had to die. The group soon came across a horde of zombies with some familiar faces in it. Trixie, Lyra, Bon_Bon, Vinyl Scratch and Sunset Shimmer were amongst them. “Is that… DJ Pon3!?” asked Pinkie in a horrified gasp. “Looks like it,” said Applejack who shot her in the head. “I know who we have to find for an antidote!” exclaimed the Doctor. “His name is Dex, or at least it’s his alias.” “Dex, who’s that? Does he at least have a real name?” asked Twilight. “Nopony knows,” said the Doctor. “But we gotta find his lab in order to get the antidote to save the ponies… that we didn’t kill.” “But something tells me there will be anymore deaths among us,” said Derpy. “What do you mean, darling?” asked Rarity. “I mean… we may have to kill more… or more of us may be eaten,” said Derpy in a horror-movie-style voice. All the ponies except Doctor Whooves gasped. They all walked through Ponyville following the Doctor. “It’s deep inside the Everfree Forest,” he said. “The Everfree Forest?” said Fluttershy with a hint of fear in her voice. “I’m afraid so,” said the Doctor. The group stopped at the edge of the forest, and there was silence, too much silence. But some groaning is soon heard and Fluttershy started to freak out, flying off and a zombie pegasus tackled her as the group watched on in horror. “FLUTTERSHY!!” they shouted as the zombie pegasus tackled her. The pegasus appeared to be Cloudchaser. Applejack went to help, but is stopped by Doctor Whooves who insisted there was no helping her. Cloudchaser then proceeded in biting and tearing away flesh as Fluttershy screamed out to the group, but the group realized there was no helping. Cloudchaser ripped away more flesh and blood sprayed everywhere. Crying is heard as Rarity went behind Twilight and Applejack and was nearly bawling her eyes out. After five minutes of blood and gore, Fluttershy is nothing more than a mangled wreck, blood and guts everywhere. “See, I told you,” said Derpy. “That was Cloudchaser, I thought Pegasi would be safe,” said Twilight. “Apparently not,” said Doctor.
