> Left 4 Dead: Equestria > by Ken10Ethan > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Chapter 1: The Sacrifice > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Coach, COACH! COAAAACH!" "Wha?..What happened? Ah hell no! Y'all, what the HELL just happened to make me have this terrible goddamn headache?" Coach shouted loudly, but he didn't need reminding. He knew what happened... A tank was..No, wait: IS attacking them. He shouted to the others, "Hey! Y'all! If i die because of you, i will kill you!" Coach shouted angrily. Ellis rushed forwards to grab his hand to pull him up. "Hey, ah ain't lettin' you down, Coach!" Coach was soon on his feet, and quickly ran behind the generator. He gulped down some Pain Pills and pulled out his Chainsaw, he revved it up and ran at the Tank, shouting "DIE YOU BIG UGLY MOTHERFUCKER!" The tank responded with "GAAAAAAAAARGH!" and a angry chest pounding. Coach waved the chainsaw, taking quite a bit of his energy to do. He pointed it at the Tank, and then ran into it. The tank spewed out oozy dirty red blood. But it wasn't enough, the Tank roared again, covering a annoyed Coach with spit. It tossed the chainsaw (And, as a extension, Coach) off his body lazily, the wound was healed, though covered in a rough scar, and rammed into the bridge. A shout was heard "AaaAAARGH!" and Louis, one of the previous Survivors Coach and his friends met with, was hanging for his life onto a small barrier. Francis responded by covering the Tank in bullet fire. Coach attempted to push Louis back up, but it was no good. He was going to fall. The tank rammed onto the bridge again, and again, each time making Louis even more unstable untill he only had one hand on the rail. Coach decided to shout for the Tank "Hey! You big ugly bitch! Come get me!" and then he tossed a small, glass container on the ground, staining it a dark green color. The tank ran at him, then he jumped out of the way. He then quickly ran for Louis, and attempted to pull him down safely. It wouldn't work, the Tank was not falling for Coach's ruse, and he was going to ram straight into them. Nick shouted "I got the last gas can in! The bridge is ope-" He stopped abruptly. The tank was going to push them straight into the sewers below...It wasn't untill the Tank had already done this that Nick and the others began shooting, but it was no good.... "COOOOOOOAAAAAAACCCCHHHH!!!!" --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Coach was sitting on a bench, the sun was shining, the grass was nice and a little damp from a light shower the last day, and he was nice and young, he got up and donned a Yellow and Purple football helmet, breathed in and out and said "Hell yeah, let's start the day right!" and began playing. Right when he was about to preform a touchdown, however, he woke up with a annoyed grunt. "Wuzzat?..Why did you hafta wake me up?" Louis had a confused expression "What?...Coach, where are we?" Coach muttered "In a damn Zombie Apocalypse..Boy, are you right?" Louis gave a shaky chuckle "No, i am right, it is YOU that seems a little...Off..." He got Coach up and a bright light responded to Coach's efforts, a nice, sunny day. They were in a small building, seemed to be made out of wood. Coach was sleeping in a small, baby-sized bed, almost comical if it hadn't been covered in dried blood and sweat. He heard birds chattering outside. He said to Louis "Uhh...Boy, are we..Dead?" Louis gave another shaky laugh "No..I checked." he made a fake pinch on Coach's hand. They both were startled to hear a door slam closed, Coach pulled out a shotgun, but realized it wasn't there. Neither was his chainsaw, or his Pipe Bombs. He growled and pulled out his only weapon, two P220 Pistols, he tossed one to Louis and slid behind a small wooden railling over looking a vast Library room. They could hear a female voice saying "Spike, remind me to send a order to Quills and Couches, i'm running out of Quills!" And Louis chuckled quietly when they heard a slightly younger, male voice saying "Sure thing, Twilight!" Louis whispered to Coach "Uhh...Did you just hear someone say 'Twilight'?..As in, that really sparkly movie?..Wow, we must be in a Fan convention...Minus the fun of new games..." they must have heard them, as the Female voice said "Spike, did you just say something?" to which the male voice responded with "No, Twi, i did hear something, i'll check upstairs." Coach and Louis were startled, they saw a balcony and ran outside, the male voice said "Nothin- actually, i'll check outside..I think i hear something!" Coach sighed and said "Boy, we may as well, they obviously aren't infected! So they SHOULD be humans! I mean, c'mon, they can't be zebras or horses or something, right?" and walked out..What he saw, however, was NOT a human..It was a horse..And a dragon... "Son..Of...A...Bitch..." > Chapter 2: The Passing > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Are you seeing what i am seeing?" Spike said, although, i wasn't quite sure if he had even said it, as i was dazed at what was infront of me...A human being! A HUMAN!..In the flesh! There hadn't been one in Equestria for over 9000 years! It was a honor to meet the very being that created this realm! I gathered my thoughts and said, eagerly "My name is Twilight Sparkle, and i am Prince-" at that moment, one of the humans had spouted off, laughing on the ground "BWahahahahahaha! I must be dreaming! That is HILLARIOUS!" I tried to talk again, saying "Anyway..I am princess Celestia's stu-" but the human was still laughing. Okay, this was getting annoying, so i used magic to make the human stop talking, "Anyway, i am Princess Celestia's student, and i on behalf of all of Equestria, welcome you to PonyVille! Would you like some introducti-" Coach was standing, his jaw on the floor. He was standing here, listening to a Purple Unicorn talking about..Equestria?...Princess Celestia?.... And..Twilight? Seriously? "Hoolee Shit..." he said. The unicorn responded with a "Pardon me? Anyway, you would just LOVE Flutt-" Coach pulled out his P220 and fired a shot into the roof, making everyone (Even including Louis) jump, bits of wood landed on his shoulder, he brushed them off. He would need to think about this in quiet. "Umm..Excuse me..Ma'am? I need a quiet place to think..Also, umm..Sorry 'bout the roof..." He was lead into the underground lab area by the still shocked Purple Unicorn, and began thinking. Meanwhile, back with the Survivors, "Oh mah god. Oh mah god, Coach is dead! Ah will never get to say goodbye!" Ellis said, hyperventilating. Nick placed his hand on his shoulder "C'mon, dude. We need to leave..." Ellis pushed his hand away, grabbed a Shotgun, fresh ammo, a Pipebomb, some Pills, and a Medpack, and jumped below the bridge. "Ellis! NO!" Nick and Rochelle said, but it was too late, Nick said angrily "Gr..I guess we'll hafta go after him..." Nick sighed, and only having a Pistol, he grabbed the only weapon left, a chainsaw, and said one last thing to Rochelle "Well, here we go!" and then hopped down into the depths below. > Chapter 3: First Infection > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Nick woke up, his head feeling as if he had gotten drunk back in Los Vegas, he looked around and saw he was in a dark, quiet forest, he got up, felt pain in his legs, and got out some pills. He gulped some and saved half. He reached for his SMG, didn't find it, and pulled out his Magnum. He looked around and nudged Rochelle, then pulled Ellis on his feet. "Ah don't feel right, dem sons of bitches got me good.." Nick gave a shaky chuckle, "Heh...Shut up, Ellis. We just fell, what, like..10 feet?" Rochelle chuckled "I dunno, felt like over 20 to me." Nick pulled up Ro and looked around, "Uhh...Do you think we are still in Savanna?" Ellis simply shook his head, Ro pulled out a Medkit and started patching herself up, suddenly, a loud *ROAR* was heard, "...Tank..." Nick cursed. They all began readying their weapons, Rochelle said quietly "Umm..Guys? I have a feeling that is NOT a tank.." once she paid more attention to the roar. While the tank sounded like a rabid animal, this sounded like a hurt animal, and another sound was heard, a quiet, female voice. It was saying "My, you shouldn't be going out this late at night, Mr. Manticore, please be careful next time!" Ellis looked confused, "Did she just say...Manticore?...Ah swear we are in a cartoon or something...Come to think of it." He then held up a finger, and whispered "Quiet, y'all." The sound of quiet screeching and sobbing were heard, the sobbing from the same quiet female voice..Infected... Nick shouted "DON'T WORRY! WE ARE COMING!" and ran into the area of the sobbing. He dropped his pistol. "..Ellis?.." Nick said quietly to Ellis, who was standing next to him, looking really happy, with a large grin on his face. "Yea, Nick?" "..Is that a..Pony?" Ellis nodded happily, "Sure is!..Wait...Ah hell no!" Ellis realized that the sobbing was caused from a infected pony trying to get into the small cottage.The pony had rainbow hair, and wings that were decaying, with bits of splintered bones on it's hooves. Ellis quickly shot the pony, but it wasn't getting killed. It was obiviously a Special infected. The pony looked at Ellis, lowered it's front hooves, and pounced. It was digging it's hooves into Ellis' chest, tearing his shirt apart. Nick pulled out his pistol and shot the rainbow pony, straight through the head. It fell immediatley. Ellis got up and shuddered "...Ah change my mind about being happy and all that shit..." Nick gave a chuckle, and said "Alright, now. Let's hope the person inside isn't a pony.." Nick's hope was dashed, however. As the yellow Pegaus inside was, indeed, a Pony. Rainbow Dash..No...It couldn't have been, it couldn't! But even as she thought about it, Fluttershy knew that her Pegasus friend was dead. "R-Rainbow Dash..No.." she said, very quietly. She was unaware of the 3 new arrivals. A silence drew over the place untill Ellis said "Umm..Ma'am?...Are you okay..?" as he put down his pistol on a nearby table. Nick looked confused, but tried to be respectful, as obviously the Pegasus just lost a friend. He looked a little guilty too, as he WAS the one who put a bullet in her friend's brain. Fluttershy said quietly "*Sniff*..Y-Yes...A-Are you going to e-eat me?..." Nick couldn't help but snicker a little, but covered it up as a cough. Ellis looked at Nick angrily and said "'Course not! We're not infected! Sorry about your friend..." Fluttershy resisted the urge to sob some more and said "W-We were just going to g-go visit Twilight..O-Oh rainbow Dash..." Rochelle spoke for the first time "Uhh..What is your name?" Fluttershy wiped her eyes with her hooves and said "F-Fluttershy..." Ellis said "Could you bring us to y'all's friend?...Twilight?.." Fluttershy nodded and said "W-We'd better sleep first...Nighttime is dangerous here in the Everfree F-Forest.." > Chapter 4: The Reunion > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The following day Coach's eyes hurt from being awake all day. He got up, walked outside, and saw that it was early in the morning, he could swear he heard somebody shouting "Twilight!" far away, he went inside, nudged the purple unicorn to wake up, and began talking with Louis. "So, how'd you lose your friend, anyway?" Louis sighed "He..Didn't make it, he had to stay behind to start the generator..." he shrugged and said "So he had to stay behind to get it wor-" they heard someone shouting "Twilight! Monsters are near Fluttershy's!" Louis instantly knew what was happening, "Infected..." Coach grabbed his P220 and holstered it, he motioned for Louis to do the same. They heard muffled, sleepy speaking "..Pinkie..What's wrong?" "Weird ponies are attacking Fluttershy!" Coach ran upstairs and said "Infected, where is this person's house?" the pink pony looked a little suprised, but said "Over here! Follow me!" and jumped away, they followed. "Ellis! Guard that damn window!" Nick shouted, the day had came from bad to worse every minute, more and more infected had turned up, worse of all, the Pegasus that lived here couldn't even bring herself to shoot them! "Ro, protect the..Horse..Thing..." Nick then pulled out a pipe bomb, one of two, and tossed it out the window, a fraction of the Infected run towards it, clawing at it's surface. "3....2....1" Nick counted down, grinning, then..BOOM! The infected blew up in a bloody mist. Fluttershy gave a whimper as she saw this, but other than that stayed quiet for most of the horde. Ellis shouted angrily "Ah don't mind to be rude, but WHAT THE HELL DID Y'ALL THINK WAS GONNA HAPPEN WHEN Y'ALL ACCIDENTLY TURN ON A PIPE BOMB? DID Y'ALL THINK A PARADE WAS GONNA COME OR SOME SHIT LIKE THAT?" Nick responded with a "Hey! You did just as much as i did!" This wasn't techinaclly true, as all Ellis did was shout to let them know what had happened, but he had to bring the blame on anyone else he could, this was one of his rules of his old conning business. Fluttershy said quietly "T-Twilight is here..." and continued to simply lay with Rochelle and whimper, a loud, familar voice shouted "Louis! Watch the back and flank 'em when i throw a pipe bomb!" and soon, bullet fire was heard from the outside. Ellis smiled "Ah shit, guys! It's Coach! Ah told y'all he was goin' to be 'ere!" A loud, beeping sound was heard, and they heard roaring, not infected, but human saying "C'MON AND GET IT! THIS IS FOR BILL!" and the sound of (one) rapid fire pistol. Once most of the infected were cleared, Ellis and Nick cleared the stragglers and Coach and Louis entered the small cottage. Coach smiled happily and said "Sheeet! It's good to see y'all!' and Louis said "Hey, guys!" But they weren't out of the woods yet...There was a Tank approaching...And it sounded angry.. > Chapter 5: Remorse > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Coach sighed, and gripped, if it was possible, his pistol tighter. Ellis was breathing heavily, Rochelle was muttering "Stay calm, stay calm.." to herself, Louis was checking his gun to make sure it was ready, Fluttershy was simply hiding in a corner with Ellis. Nick was cursing under his breath. Everyone was thinking of how this tiny cottage was going to hold against the might of a muscled infected, suddenly, a knock was heard at the door, and a scared voice that seemed to try to seem brave, but failed terribly at it, said "Uhh..Fluttershy? Can you lemme in?" and then added "And quick!" Ellis got up, and his pistol at the ready, pulled open the door, he aimed his gun down, expecting infected coming after the newcomer, but no one was there. There was a rainbow pegasus right infront of them. Ellis nearly fell down, laughing loudly as he shut the door. The rainbow pegasus cocked a eyebrow at Ellis and said "Uhh.. 'Cuse me? What's so funny?" Ellis responded, eyes full of tears "You-" but was cut off by Nick, who simply said "Your hair is fucking stupid.." and went back to checking the window for the tank. The rainbow pony growled and flew straight up to Nick's face, and kicked him in it. Nick fell back, straight on his ass. "Ooof!" Exclamed Nick, clutching at his stomach with faint curses such as "Fucking hell.." and "God-fucking-damnit" and "Son of a bitch.." while doing so. Ellis said "Hey! Why'd you kick mah friend?" angrily. The Pegasus said simply "He said my hair was stupid!" and then trotted next to Fluttershy, who then said "R-Rainbow D-Dash? Y-Your alive!" and then, most unlike her so far, she jumped up and hugged the Pegasus. Rainbow Dash (Everyone assumed this was her name) then responded by saying awkardly "Umm..Yeah, i'm alive..Why wouldn't i be?" Fluttershy said quietly, "Umm..Well...I saw you dying...I guess it was just a lookalike!" and then hugged a little tighter, then let go. Ellis said loudly "Um, i don't mean to be rude to y'all, but...THERE IS A HUGE FUCKING TANK ABOUT TO SMASH INTO THIS HOUSE!" and rammed against the door. Louis was digging around in the closet, and found, to his amense suprise, (And happiness) a couple hunting rifles, and a tactical shotgun, Fluttershy said "Umm..There were some others..They said that i should 'give them to any people like us that comes here' but they..Umm...Died..." and then went back by Rainbow, who then gave a confused look to everyone and said "Wait...What is goin' on here!"...Everyone simply ignored her, and got loaded up. Rochelle gave a happy yell "Woo! Let's kick some Zed ass!" ALERT: THE TANK IS COMING
