> Zombie raid > by EpicBronyPower > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > (Prolouge) The Bomb > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- It was a beautiful day. The birds were chirping, the sun was shining, and it was so peaceful. Rainbow Dash had finally taught Scootaloo how to fly, and she was proud of her and as well as herself. "Hey squirt, race ya!", Rainbow Dash said to the orange filly. "Alright!", Scootaloo replied. Scootaloo tried her best to keep up, but with no prevail. Rainbow Dash crossed the finish line easily. "Yes, I won!", she shouted. Scootaloo, who was extremely tired, collapsed on the cloud finish line. "Ugh. Maybe I should practice more before I start racing." "Hey, don't worry about it squirt. Let's go get an ice cream, to celebrate that you can fly!" "Okay!" They flew down to the ice cream shop and ordered two chocolate ice cream sundaes. "I'm so happy, I could eat this whole!", Scootaloo said, picking up the bowl and shoving her muzzle in it. When she put the bowl down, her face was covered in chocolate ice cream. She licked her muzzle. Rainbow Dash laughed at the sight. "Aw man, squirt. That was hilarious!" BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!!! Rainow Dash stopped laughing. "What was that!?", Scootaloo asked. "I don't know, but we should go check it out.", Rainbow Dash answered When they exited the small shop, they saw smoke coming from the center of town. They went to check it out. They found Bon Bon walking on the street. But this Bon Bon was different. Her eyes were as white as milk, and Her fur was a sickly green color. "Hey Bon Bon, do you know what that weird noise was about?", Rainbow Dash asked the sick looking earth pony. "Bllrrrggyyyaagggg.", was the reply she got. "Bon Bon, are you ok? Bon Bon?" Bon Bon started half walking, half stumbling over to the pair. Then she attempted to bite Rainbow Dash. "Oh, so it's a fight you want, huh? Alright squirt, stay back while I take care of this." Rainbow Dash proceeded to kick the Zombified Bon Bon in the chin, thus causing her head to fly off. The disembodied head landed on the ground with a sickening plop sound. "And that, squirt, is how you kill a zombie!" Scootaloo looked at the dead Zombified Bon Bon with her jaw dropped. "She was a ZOMBIE!", she shouted. "Yeah that's why she tried biting me.", Rainbow Dash replied Then they continued on to the town square. When they arrived, it was crowded with zombies. They all started walking towards the two. Two hooves covered Rainbow Dash's and Scootaloo's muzzle, then yanked them both into the library. The library was pitch black. "Hey, what's the big idea?!", Rainbow Dash shouted. The light turned on to reveal Twilight Sparkle, Applejack, Rarity, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, Apple Bloom, and Sweetie Belle. Twilight began to speak. "Have a seat, girls. I have a lot of explaining to do..." > Chapter 1: The Cause > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Alright then. Start explaining!", Rainbow Dash said to Twilight. "Alright, Alright. I was working on a spell to bring ponies back to life. I was using the spell called 'resurrection'. I used the spell on a dead pony, and he actually came back to life. I was excited that it had worked. I thought of all of the good things we could do with this! But the test subject attempted to bite me, so I had to kill him. I was scared and weirded out by this, so I checked the spell again. It turns out that there was a smudge of coffe on the name. So, I cleaned it up, and it reveals the word 'undead'. I jumped at this, thus causing me to release the spell, which was still charged in my horn, into the atmosphere around the town. It ended up turning everypony into a zombie. It's all my fault." Twilight hung her head low. "It's ok Twilight.", Applejack told the sad pony, putting a hoof around her shoulders. "Everypony makes mistakes." "Yeah, but not HUGE mistakes like this.", the alicorn snapped back. "Alright, Alright, there's no more need to play the blame game!", Scootaloo said. "Squirt is right.", Rainbow Dash said. "We have to find a way to survive long enough for us to figure something out." "I do have a spell that reverses another spell, but we need to get to a place that can send it across Equestria.", Twilight replied. "So what do we do about the zombies for now?", Rarity asked. "This!", Sweetie Belle replied to her sister, making weapons with her magic. "Ah reckon Twilight's lessons are really paying off, huh Sweetie Belle?", Apple Bloom asked her friend. "Oh, it's really nothing.", Sweetie Belle said, trying to hide her blush. "Alrighty, let's DO THIS THING!", Pinkie Pie shrieked, grabbing an Uzi. "Yeah, let's go.", Fluttershy added quietly. The town was quiet, other than the moaning of zombies. Each of them had chosen a weapon. Applejack had a bat. Pinkie Pie had an Uzi. Rarity had chosen a pistol. Fluttershy had a knife, and Rainbow Dash had a machete. Even the Cutie Mark Crusaders had gotten some kitana's. "Cutie Mark Crusaders, Zombie Slayers!", they said in unison. "Alright, we have to stay quiet.", Rainbow Dash said. "We don't want to get caught!" They started trotting through the town square. A Zombified Lyra Heartstrings started galloping toward them. "Don't yall worry, ah got this!", Applejack told the rest of the team. She swung her bat at the zombie's head, cracking its skull and staining her once bright orange coat in blood. The sound was loud, attracting a few zombie's to turn thier decaying heads toward them. The group hid behind a house. "Shit, we're so screwed!", Rainbow Dash whispered. "Rainbow Dash, watch your language around the fillies!", Rarity whispered back angrily. "Focus everypony, we have to make a plan!", Twilight whispered to the rest of the group. They talked for a bit, every once in a while checking the corners for zombies. They all eventually decided to start at Sweet Apple Acres. "Alright, so we head out to Sweet Apple Acres, and we set up our base there. And we kill every zombie we see on the way?", Rainbow Dash asked. "But only if they come after us.", Pinkie Pie replied. "Alright, let's go kill some zombie's!", Scootaloo said.
