Hello. I'm new to this site and group but not the Fandom, and I'd really llike to hear any miscellaneous ideas for an Anti-TCB crossover.

Now, I know that there are some major crossovers out there(I.e. Conversion Bureau: United We Stand), but I for one am looking for something a little bit more...obscure:twilightsmile:

With that said, let the games begin:pinkiecrazy:

"let the games begin"

You hinted at one crossover idea yourself.

G.I Joe.

No really, it kind of fits when you think about it. Which series of it is up to you though, though I'm partial to Resolute or Renegades myself.

What if we had a kind of reverse CB story, where the world Equestria is on is being converted by a barrier, and the only way that the ponies can survive is to turn into Care bears?

Hmm. Not bad so far:twilightsmile:

Well, I think now would be a good time to share my own idea on this post:

How about a Shane Acker's 9/TCB Crossover?

473321
Hmm. Not so much the other generations, but renegades might work with what I've seen.

Or Resolute or Renegades CC.

473357

God I love Renegades. I'm so sad it'll never get a second season.

473359
Well, I've only seen bits of the first episode so I'm not so sure:twilightsheepish:

On that note, how about the idea of a crossover between TCB and Akira?

After all, who wouldn't want to see something like this:

In a TCB fic?

Deadite174

473369

I think you'd need to do some alterations of the story though, as the themes of Akira don't exactly match up with Pro/Anti-TCB.

473307
Actually, I know virtually nothing about world of C&C but I do know something about Kane. And I find this man a really interesting choice to oppose TCB!Celestia, especially if we imply, that tiberium is source of Equestrian magic and Kane's fraction is capable of mastering it.

Cobra Commander? Competent? Impossible!

473372

I know, and I actually thin that some of the changes might actually be pretty interesting, like say the terrorists bombing the mall in the film turning into HLF members bombing a Conversion Bureau in the possible fic.

What do you think?

473359 Exactly. Heck, compared to them Sunbow CC seems a rather large aberration. Heck, he was pretty cool in his Transformers cameo!

473385 Marvel, Renegades and Resolute were pretty badass.

Personally, I'm rather partial to the idea of a Gargoyles crossover. TCB!Celestia vs. Xanatos... or TCB!Celestia vs. Oberon... or both! I imagine that the gargoyles themselves wouldn't be too happy with the ponies, either.

Also, I agree that a C&C crossover could be pretty awesome, especially because of Kane. Though instead of making Tiberium the source of magic, make it so the ponies have to struggle to deal with Tiberium as well. I would find it very amusing if magic was largely ineffective at stopping the spread of Tiberium (or made it spread FASTER) and so the ponies had to rely on human technology.

Other crossovers I'd like to see: TTGL, NGE (not sure how to set these two up, but I imagine that they could be pretty awesome if done right), Team Fortress 2 (I see enough TF2 crossovers with normal FiM, so why not? Also, Australium), Prototype (WE ARE BLACKWATCH), Dr. McNinja (just another day in Cumberland), Half-Life (TCB!Ponies vs. Combine), Alpha Centauri (The Unity was sent to escape the ponies, humans eventually return to earth after The Ascent to Transcendence), Fallout (Similarities between TCB!Celestia and The Master are noted, BoS, NCR, and others are not pleased), Mass Effect (We just stopped the Reapers, Lovecraftian star gods that indoctrinate/brainwash, convert/huskify, and believe that they are helping races "ascend" to become Reapers as well in order to save them from themselves. Also: interstellar cooperation with other races mean humanity has allies AND proves the ponies wrong about humanity's inherent evil-ness), and Deus Ex (TCB!Celestia vs. Helios).

Wow, that ended up being longer than I thought it would be. I just kept coming up with more ideas as I wrote.

473553

Nice. I especially like the idea of a Gargoyles or Gurren Lagann crossover.

Besides, who doesn't want to see Kamina or Simon beating the shit out of TCBlestia?

There are some similarities betwen TCB!Celestia and the Anti-Spiral, I think. Especially if it is one of those TCB!Celestias that has an intense hatred of technology and progress overall, believes humans are dooming themselves to extinction by pursuing technological advancement, and so wants them all to her happy little unquestioning subjects under her absolute rule "for their own good".

Anti-Spiral: That is the path that leads to extinction. Why can't you see the pathetic limitation of the Spiral race?

Simon: No, that's YOUR limitation! You sit here, closed-off, locking away other lifeforms like some kind of king! That's nobody's limitation but your own!!

Anti-Spiral: You continue to struggle, even knowing what you know?

Simon: Of course we do! The tomorrow that we're trying to grab for ourselves... is not the tomorrow that you've set out for us! It's the tomorrow that we choose for ourselves: a tomorrow that we choose out of all the infinite universes. We'll fight our way through. We'll keep fighting and protect the universe! We'll stop the Spiral Nemesis too!

Anti-Spiral: You can't possibly accomplish all that!

Simon: Just watch us!!

473575

Well, personally, if i was doing a crossover fic with TTGL, I'd probably have TCBlestia take the role of Lordgenome mostly because both think they're doing the right thing.

Also, TCBlestia piloting Lazengann:

TCBlestia: "LAZENGANN...OVERLOAD!"

Just sounds somewhat cool.

473553
Though one thing I'd like to point out is that if TCB was crossed over with any Sci-Fi series like CnC or ME, unless you wanked the ever loving crap out of the ponies, it would make for a veeeery short conflict. The humans can just blow crap up from orbit, yo.

I'd much rather see more fics with a simliar premise to Widening the Lens...except it isn't set in the boring setting we know as "Real-life Earth". Like, I know that if you look around, you can see some purdy interesting things, but everyday life is soooo boring. I loooove me crossovers.

We're talking about TCB here. That's kind of par for the course.

473601
Yes, I know, but still...

There is a point where it goes from "Moderate ponywank, to heavy ponywank, to utter bullshit."

It...DISPLEASES me. :trixieshiftright:

You know, I would love to see a Worldwar crossover with TCB, one that's done right.

473553

Hmm. Here's some miscellaneous ideas myself:

1. Shane Acker's 9

2. Gurren Lagann

3. Akira

What do you think?

Humanist

473590>>473709

Would just like to point out that the Anti-Spiral thought it was doing the right thing as well. It was trying to protect the universe. Also, the Anti-Spiral was kind of the "boss" of Lord Genome, Lord Genome wasn't the "true" big bad of the series while TCB!Celestia tends to be the true big bad in most TCB stories, or at least the ones that attact the ire of the anti-TCB group.

I personally think that Celestia would make a better Anti-Spiral than a Lord Genome. The position of Lord Genome would probably then fall to either Luna, one of the Mane 6, or perhaps an old HLF or PER leader. An old HLF leader who realizes the "truth" of why Celestia is doing what she is doing would better fit the source material, I think (Lord Genome led forces in battle against the Anti-Spiral until he realized just what they were trying to prevent, at which point he turned on his own forces if I remember the story correctly).

Also, the quote I listed earlier fit TCB!Celestia pretty well, I think.

473953

Again, interesting choices:twilightsmile:

Also, perhaps the entire tic could be set in the Gurren Lagann universe, with the original war with the Anti Spirals being replaced by a war with TCBquestria?

TCB and Red Dawn (or Homefront). :rainbowdetermined2:

473326
I am a demented and twisted, slightly sadistic and evil creature, and I wouldn't wish that fate on my worst enemies! :pinkiegasp::twilightoops:
473632
Do you mean a 3-way war between the PoniesxHumansxRace? Because I would love to see that.
474173
I think we can all say that at the very least, Xenolestia would stop any conversion attempts long enough to help completely and utterly eliminate The Flood. At the very least, she'd make it a major priority to wipe the suckers out.

Or....ehehehehehehehahahaguahahahahBUWAHAHAHAHA!! Xenolestia allying with The Flood!

Now me, personally, I've had a recent idea for a TCB crossover story. It crosses TCB Equestria with the Galactic Civilizations series. The idea is that a Terran Alliance survey vessel stumbles upon a wormhole that takes them to Equestria's world, which they crash land on after encountering the magical energy field of Equestria. They crash land at the border between Everfree and the outskirts of Ponyville. Twilight and co check the ship out, either finding the whole crew dead (or most of the crew dead) and eventually, the Equestrians manage to gain access to the ships archives, learning not only about Earth and Humans, but also that the Galaxy is in a massive war, with the Drengin and Korath at each others throats while the Dread Lords manipulate things from afar.

I figured that Equestria would either not use space travel itself, perhaps creating a sort of planet based stargate device (which would allow them to invade other worlds and convert them) or that they do build ships, but the main focus of their ships is board and convert.

Exactly that. Imagine the chaos! :trollestia:

474232
Well, the initial chaos would be awesome, but I'm fairly certain that we can all agree that the Humans and the Race would join forces to crush Xenolestia and the TCBestrians.

It would certainly be interesting though, to see what effects it would have on Post WWII relations.

An Assassins Creed crossover: The latest member of Desmond’s lineage fighting against Solar Tyrant Celestia assassinating one of her lackeys after another.

Just imagine a possible dying speech for Pinkie Pie.

"Oh my gosh you are fast. I mean really, really fast. With that bed sheet you’re wearing you look like a ghost. Are you a ghost? That would explain why you are so fast, because ghosts have spooky super powers. Oh well, I’m dying. That means I have to throw a funeral party. We need streamers, cakes, punch and balloons. Lots of balloon! You can never have enough balloons for a party! Do you know a funny word that rhymes with balloons...“

*cut to a desperate assassin who already had stabbed her twenty-five times in hope of finally shutting her up*

If the post-WWII relations in the Colonization series were interesting, then the relations in a TCB crossover would be very captivating indeed.

Although I'm not too sure how the war would play out. Sure, it's likely that the Race and us 'Big Uglies' would grudgingly come to terms in order to face the TCB threat, although I'm not certain that it would work as well as the uneasy peace between the Axis and the Allied powers in the series. Perhaps more 'accidents' between the Race and the humans would happen IMO.

Straha: "Fleetlord, for the Emperor's sake! Just nuke this miserable wet planet before you doom the Race!"

Atvar: "But I want to be remembered as the Fleetlord that took both the technologically advanced Big Uglies and the physic-defying equines! I SHALL BE VICTORIOUS!"

How about a crossover with Avatar the Last Airbender or The Legend of Korra?

474253

Okay, I absolutely know nothing about Assassin's Creed, but this...is....AWESOME. :rainbowdetermined2:

474302
Actually, that in of itself is something interesting to consider. For one, depending on when Equestria appears, that in of itself could have an effect. If it appears early enough, you could have Straha take over as Fleetlord instead.

Though unlike in not alone, I think the Race would probably start nuking the barrier as soon as possible.
474253
It may involve Pinkie Pie dying, but that is still hilarious.

Rainbow Dash: “I-Is that my blood?”
Assassin: “It’s over Dash.”
RD:”Ughh… I hate losing. Still you’ve to admit that I gave you a pretty good fight. “
Assassin: “Yes, yes you did.”
RD: “Maybe they will put a big statue of me in the Canterlot Gardens. With a big fancy plate on it that tells everypony about the awesomeness of Rainbow Dash the 51th captain of the Wonderbolts.”
Assassin:”…”
RD: ”You know… as I joined the Wonderbolts I never thought that I had to… fight in a war or kill anypony. All I ever wanted to do was performing daring… stunts in front of a cheering audience. After Celestia declared the war I thought about… quitting the Bolts and… just… begin… a….weather… pony… again...”
Assassin: “Then why didn’t you just leave?”
RD: “Loyalty…

What can I say? I got an inspiration, although it sounds more like MGS than Assassins Creed

474551
Nether do I. Never played a single game.

474689
You know I couldn’t write a serious story in which the Mane Six and the other ponies are bad guys that get killed off by some glorified OC hero. I saw it once in a story in which the native humans of Equestria fought against the evil ponies – before you ask, that was before the original TCB story was written – and it just felt wrong to me.

I only could only write such a story as a slightly dark comedy – maybe as some kind of rehearsal - or as a sad story that makes you feel bad for the ponies even if they are the antagonists.

47486

Neither have I:twilightsmile:

Also, GREAT dialogue sequence.

474860

Neither have I.

Also here's a suggestion of dialogue for the Assassin:

Assassin: She(Celestia) speaks of love, tolerance, peace, and prosperity. But she does not know the meaning of ANY of these sacred values.

If Straha won the vote of no confidence... yeah, Earth would've been a radioactive wasteland by the time the colonists arrived.

If Atvar still maintained command, I wouldn't be too sure about it. He has always been very reluctant to use nukes if not in retaliation of a Tosev nuke. Heck, the one that leveled Berlin wasn't an ideal option for him. Washington less so because most of the radiation would harmlessly fall into the Atlantic. Still, except in cases of nuclear exchange with us, Atvar was very conservative with those bombs.

475060
Even Atvar might pull the nukes out on Equestria if it seems like the Barrier is invulnerable to regular weapons fire. Again, depending on when they arrive though, it may end up being the humans who use them first (if only because we're less patient, though I doubt the Race would be willing to waste too much munitions on the barrier either...)

A better question is, how would things go initially? Would the Equestrians actually try attacking both sides, or would they target one over another?

GIULIO
Group Admin

475072
Perhaps, but again it depends on the location of Equestria. If it's in the ocean, away from any of the bigger continents, then Atvar would probably toss a nuke or two at it.

But the nuclear powers? Yeah I bet that as soon as the Race became the lesser evil (or at least outside our home territories) then we'd be bombing the barrier.

As for the beginning... I'm not sure. If Celestia had planned from the beginning to set up the CBs on 1940's Earth, then the Race's presence would be a bit of a curveball. She might consider war in order to 'protect' the humans if the Race's aggressions continued (while of course starting their version of the Final Solution). The human nations would probably be very hesitant to accept the ponies' help, perhaps something akin to the situation of the Jewish Poles with the Race's occupation of Poland; glad for the help, but mostly because the Lizards aren't out for them. Of course this would change once people realize Celestia's agenda. :trollestia:

475265
This also assumes she doesn't try and convert the race too.

GIULIO
Group Admin

475678
That too, but then every other sapient being on Equestria (Zebras, Griffons, Donkeys, Minotaurs, etc.) would have to be converted in order to make some sense.

...of course the fact that Griffons and Zebras still exist in most TCBs when Celestia decides to convert the humans makes almost no sense already... :trixieshiftright:

475915I've read a few that seem to lack any of those species, so who knows.

I still am pondering a TCB vs Touhou crossover

I have an interesting idea for one, and am actually writing it up now.

TCB crossed...with the Earth of WWZ. Oh the fun I can have with this :pinkiecrazy:

World War Z? :pinkiegasp:

479703
Realistic Zombie Apocalypse story, influenced by a book of WWII interviews with vets, or some such.
http://zombie.wikia.com/wiki/World_War_Z

It shall be most interesting....eheheheheheh :pinkiecrazy:

Here, have the first chapter. I need feedback anyways.

"Here's this year's census report your Majesty."

Celestia smiled at Golden Grain. "Thank you Minister, that will be all."

Golden Grain bowed and quickly exited her study as Celestia grudgingly hefted the roll of parchment with her magic. After many years of reading such reports, she had come to expect with each new report another reminder of the problem that was facing her little ponies, one that they didn't even realize existed. Sighing to herself, she unrolled the scroll and skimmed past the many trivial bits of information until she found what she was looking for.

Down again...what is it Celly, the nine hundred and seventy sixth year of such?

She grimaced as she tossed the parchment at her desk, turning and striding towards the spacious balcony that offered her a grand view of Canterlot and the surrounding countryside. She idly watched as her subjects went about their lives, unaware of a dilemma that was beginning to fiercely dominate their rulers mind.

“May I assume the news is not good Sister?”

Celestia turned her head as the sound of hoofsteps alerted her to the arrival of her sister. She offered her a weak smile as she asked “Good morning Luna. Did you enjoy your nap?”

Luna let out a very big and very un-royal like yawn before muttering “It was not long enough for my tastes…but that’s getting away from what I asked you.” Celestia turned her gaze back to the city below, not meeting the eyes of her sister as she asked “How bad is it this year sister?”

Knowing that dodging the question any further would only annoy her sister, Celestia pulled the report from her desk and allowed Luna’s magic to take hold of it as she scanned it. She could almost swear she could hear the cogs working in her sister’s mind as she did the math from the last few centuries figures and reached the same conclusion she had already reached four hundred years earlier.

“Is there nothing we can do? Is there something we haven’t considered, perhaps some spell…?”

Celestia was silent for a moment as she considered, recalling their previous attempts at solving this particular problem. “There is no other species here on our world we can attempt what we’ve done before. The few Griffons and Diamond Dogs left out there are not enough to help boost our growth rate, and even that’s not helped. Doneky’s and Changelings are immune to the spell, there aren’t enough buffalo for it to do any good, and the spell has…unintended side affects with dragons.”

Luna looked down at the cityscape below, her own thoughts likely mirroring her own. A moment later though, her head whipped up, a spark of hope beginning to glimmer in her questioning eyes as she said “You said on our world…you’re not…”

Celestia was silent, taking her time thinking over the choice she had been contemplating ever since Luna had been redeemed and the Elements of Harmony restored to power. They would certainly have the power necessary to do it…but there were so many risks in trying it that she had wondered for a time if even considering it as an option was a good idea.

She could not do it on her own, and she would need the support of her sister if they were to try. Thusly, she decided to offer what insight she had gained from her research. Without realizing it, she began to pace as she spoke.

“I have found a world that offers us the possibility of solving that which weighs on our minds. Heavily populated by a species that values survival, and they are very innovative and creative. Using the spell on them might not just solve our current predicament; the contributions they could bring to our species are numerous.”

Luna quirked an eyebrow, “There is always a catch though…tell me sister, what is the price we may be for bringing them into our family?”

Luna waited with baited breath for the response Celestia would give. With a slow sigh, Celestia said “They are as violent and bloodthirsty as a Griffon, as greedy as a Dragon, and sneakier than a Changeling. And some of them are so stubborn it puts mules to shame. While they can act in harmony and do good, they have had many instances of darkness in their world.” She paused for a moment, seeming reluctant to speak further, but she finally added “I must admit that I have not viewed they’re world for some time…the last I looked in on them, they were a single mistake away from destroying their world.”

“How long ago was this? And how can you be sure they are even still around, if they were so close to oblivion?”

Celestia allowed a small smile to grace her muzzle as she replied “I am not as foolish as that dear Luna. I would have been alerted if they had made that final mistake and I have yet to receive such.”

Now Luna was silent, and the two sisters returned to watching their subjects for a time. The silence could not last forever though, and it was Luna who broke the silence.

“Do you think it is our best option?”

Celestia had been thinking about this decision for some time. She had been hoping that it would not come to this, that she would not have to once again place the survival of her species over that of another. But this problem was not going away despite their best efforts. One way or another, they needed to do something drastic soon though, or else it would no longer be easy to hide.

The time for decision was now. And Celestia made her choice.

“Yes, yes I do.”

~*~

“Set the charge Lt.”

Lt. Chris Jameson nodded as he plied the controls, manipulating the robotic arm that was holding a primed depth charge above a swarming mob of Z’s. Their movement churned up a swirling mess of sand and debris from the seabed of the Pacific, obscuring some of them and casting an eerie glow on the rest as the sub’s search light kept them in the crew’s line of vision.

Once he had it properly set, Jameson allowed the claw to release the charge, which slowly floated down to settle amongst the clawing arms of the hungry monsters. He was very glad they couldn’t hear the moans and groans of the Z’s beneath them as they scratched futilely at the bomb just that would sent them back to the grave.

“Charge set Commander, awaiting orders.”

Larry Okeer, commander of the UZH-9071 nodded and barked out an order to the helmsman, Ensign Maria Kennington. Soon enough, the small submersible was backing away from the horde that had been gathered, moving as silently as possible as it neared the safety zone for the detonation. A few of the Z’s turned and started to slog after them, but most of them retained their attention on the charge.

Oh well, the stragglers will be turned to corpses just as much as the rest. Jameson thought to himself as he waited for the order. The seconds ticked by, until Kennington said “At optimal distance Commander.”

“Good. Alright, you know the drill folks, brace yourselves for shockwaves, and keep an eye on the Z’s. Jameson, do it.”

“Time to visit Lucifer motherfuckers…” Jameson muttered out as he flicked the switch. The depth charge went off, sending out a crushing shockwave that crushed the Z’s closest to the center, while it sent some of the others flying. The shockwaves that followed the initial one made certain that those few Z’s that survived the first one wouldn’t ‘live’ for long.

“Bring us back in, let’s see if any Z’s are still alive.”

They closed back in, taking in the destruction for several minutes as their search lights swept the corpses. The few signs of movement were quickly dealt with by the sub’s robotic claw, or the Squisher as many sub crews had started calling it. Once they were certain that the horde had been dealt with, Commander Okeer sent word topside that the mission was a success.

“Good job 9071, you can head on back up, we’ve cleaned up this grid. We’ll start with the next grid tomorrow.”

“Roger Nixon, we’ll see ya topside.” Okeer replied before closing the channel. He looked at us for a moment and then asked “Well? What are you all waiting for? I want to get outta this tin can asap!”

“Aye aye!”

The next few minutes were quiet as we brought the sub up. Despite the fact that none of the Z’s could get inside the ship, and none of them had a chance to latch on, it still messed with his head whenever he saw the things. A few good hours of Battletoads on his brothers old GB and some sleep to unwind and forget about the Z’s he had to deal with every day, and he’d be good to go tomorrow morning.

“Breaching the surface in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1…we’re topside Commander.”

The UZH-9071 rose out of the water and made an 180 degree turn, pulling their home away from home into sight; The USS Nixon, the third ship of the Yonker’s class submarine carriers, with its pen doors already opening up to accept them.

“Alright Ensign, just take her in nice and-”

Okeer paused, then scratched his head in confusion, his eyes blinking rapidly. After a moment, he turned and asked “Is it just me, or did it get darker in here?”

“Huh, now that you mention it, it does seem a bit dimmer in here…” Jamesone said as he closed his own eyes, opening them to find that the dimness hadn’t faded. “The generator reads full power, nothing wrong there.”

Kennington looked as confused as the both of them, but that wasn’t all. “Are either of you feeling dizzy? It almost feels like there’s a buzzing in my head.”

“I feel it too.” Okeer stated as he rubbed his temple. “I think we’ve been doing this for too long, its finally getting to our heads. I say a week, no, a month off sub duty, and weekly meetings with the ship’s shrink. Maybe a nice vacation in the Rockies while I’m-”

Commander Okeer didn’t get to finish the sentence, as the viewport was suddenly filled with an intense, bright light. The light intensified, and the three of them were forced to shield their eyes to keep from being blinded.

“Jesus sweet Christ, did someone set off a nuke?” Commander Okeer yelped in surprise. Jameson had to admit, the thought had briefly crossed his mind, but he didn’t want to be the one to suggest it. Actually, he was too busy saying some final prayers to god, fully expecting to be nothing but a radioactive hunk of metal headed for the ocean floor.

Instead, the light slowly began to fade, and when Jameson dared to lower his hands and open his eyes, he was not confronted with the sight of a mushroom cloud rising from the ocean. Instead he was greeted with the sight of what looked like a nearly translucent pink wall, which extended above the water for what looked like six or seven miles into the sky. It was then that he noticed it was less a wall and more part of a dome. He also noticed that they seemed to be sitting almost on top of the thing, and that it even went down into the depths below.

“Jameson, please tell me those brownies you made were the ‘special’ kind.” Okeer murmured, drawing Jameson’s attention away from the barrier and towards his CO.

“Guh, no, why would you even suggest something like that Larry? You know I don’t do drugs, and I don’t make stoner brownies.”

Okeer didn’t even glance at him, his eyes focused on something outside the sub. His only response was to ask “Then do you mind explaining why the hell I'm seeing a six foot tall flying unicorn out there?”

Jameson looked in the direction his CO was pointing, and sure enough, there, floating above the water, was a midnight blue unicorn with wings, and a flowing mane that looked like it was made of stars.

There was only one thing Jameson could say to that.

“Huh, how’d I miss that?”
~*~

At the bottom of the Pacific Ocean, amidst a pile of human corpses, a body twitched. Slowly, it pushed itself up from the mess of limbs and other assorted body parts, taking a full minute to right itself. If it had had the ability to, it would have noticed that it was now missing an arm, but the creature did not care for such. It knew only one thing.

A craving. A strong, unending hunger for live flesh.

The creature turned its malformed and decaying head one way and then another, seeing nothing of interest. It slowly began to move northward, not out of any particular reason, the virus seething inside it simply deciding to go somewhere to find more flesh to infect, more flesh to feed on.

Then, a flash of light, and a strange feeling washes over the creature. It knows this is not natural light, and it knows that where unnatural light is there is flesh waiting to be devoured. It raises one arm forward, stretching out as it releases a hungry moan.

For a brief moment, the creature feels resistance against its movement. This is something different than the water, but the creature is undeterred. It continues to stagger forward, until finally the resistance fades.
Somehow, the virus knows that it has passed an important threshold. It knows that if it goes forward, it will find things that are tasty.

It lets out another moan, and soon, all across the southern Pacific, the monsters stir.

It is time to feed.

Are you going to publish that?

Also, shouldn't the barrier kill the zombie?
