I just created something amazing.

It'll be a while before I upload the story which will eventually contain the chapter featuring this thing I just created, so I'll tell you about it here, and make it clear that I called dibs on the idea.

In my part of the setting of Fallout Equestria, there exists a deadly plague created by the Zebras, in a secret weapons-testing facility in Equestria. This plague was going to be put in bombs, which would be used to carpet-bomb and destroy Equestria, before they were given nukes by Fluttershy and mere plague bombs became yesterday's news. This plague was created from the steam of a modified and heated Heart's Desire potion, and six weakened and tortured Pony P.O.W.s who wished they were strong enough to escape... were forced to inhale the fumes, before being released back into Equestria.

These ponies were infected with a plague, a plague that spreads through touch. This plague causes the victims to get a new Combat-related Cutie Mark, and another one shortly after, followed by another one, and another one, until the pony dies. The pony is forced to act out every dark, murderous aspect of violence the infected pony gains a newfound talent for, and every pony the infected pony touches also gets infected. Even after the pony dies, the magic of the Cutie Marks compell the body to keep attacking and killing until each part of the body is too blown-apart to move on its own. And if any part of an infected pony, even an infected pony's blood or flying limbs got on you, you would soon find yourself becoming one of them. A plague of hate and war spreads rapidly in close quarters, and can turn whole towns against themselves.

Only the drug-assisted future sight of Pinkie Pie and the soldiers she had her friends set up ahead of time saved Equestria from near-guaranteed annihilation on the day those six victims were released into pony society. The disease was contained, the victims had their bodies burned, and samples of the virus were taken back to Twilight's Ministry of Arcane Science for testing and safekeeping, in the hopes that a cure or immunization could one day be found for this deadly plague that turned brother against mother and father against son while allowing the infected ponies to do nothing besides crying and apologizing and loudly begging to be put down first.

This disease was designed by the Zebras to turn Ponykind's Cutie Marks against them, and it is called...

The Shooty Pox.

If you can turn this into a Dark Comedy, it would be Feature worthy
