“Ben, hurry up!” Travis frantically yelled. Ben and Travis awoke to a ear-piercing scream that echoed through their camp that they were sharing with their fellow classmates. They both found their camp being raided by numerous amounts of people in masks.
When the outbreak first started, Ben along with many other classmates seeked shelter in the school gym. When everything settled down, it was decided that the gym was an appropriate decision to stay in. Long story short, one of the female students became too stressed and overdosed on sleeping pills. A day later, someone went into the girl’s room to check on them...
Ben, Travis and a few others were forced to flee due to the amount of Walkers in the gym.
“What about everyone else!?” Ben frantically yelled back.
“Ben! We need to think about ourselves right now! We need to run while we have the chance!”
“What!? We won’t be able to survive on our own!”
“Yes, we will! Ben listen, how about this... When we’re safe we’ll go... Look around for them but right now, can we please just go!?”
Ben lowered his head in contemplation. A moment passed and he decides to leave with Travis...
“Alright, fine. Let’s... Wait” Ben gasped.
“Whoa, WHAT!? What is it!?” Travis says on the edge of panic.
Ben points over Travis’s shoulder. Travis looks over to where he was pointing and saw their teacher, Mr. Parker.
“There’s Mr. Parker! Let’s go!”
Ben and Travis run after their teacher. They caught up to him pretty quickly since Mr. Parker was in his mid 40s.
“Mr. Parker! Wait!” Ben yells after him. Their teacher glances over his shoulder while he’s still running and he slows down once he sees who it is.
“Ben! Travis! Are you okay!? I couldn’t find anyone. So, I assumed that everyone was either taken or killed.” He gets a sad expression on his face.
“Yeah, we’re okay... Just... Scared.” Travis told their teacher.
“I wanted to go back and help but, TRAVIS insisted that we should leave everyone behind!”
“Hey! You were going to say we should go as well! Don’t try to act innocent!”
“I was going to come back! Unlike you!”
“I-”
“BOYS!” The sound of their teacher’s loud yell made them both quiet. Ben and Travis looked at their teacher.
“We can talk about this later! Right now, let’s just get somewhere safe, Understand!?” Ben and Travis nodded in agreement.
The group of three ran further into the forest leaving their camp behind.
"Why exactly are we wondering about in the everfree forest? Especially at night," Applejack curiously asks.
"Oh come on Applejack! It's obvious that Twilight discovered some weird mysterious portal that will send us to Earth, where it's infested by zombie humans," Pinkie cheerfully says.
"Umm Pinkie? What are you talking about?" Rarity is confused by Pinkies abnormal prediction.
"Oh yeah, Pinkie's right. Everytime she says something weird, it always ends up being true," Rainbow Dash says with boredom.
"I'm pretty sure she's just being Pinkie but she is right about one thing. I did discover an orb that was floating around." Twilight rubs her head in thought.
"Twilight! Can we please just go back home? We've been in here for twenty minutes and we still haven't found anything!" Rainbow exclaims.
"Actually" - Pinkie checks her clock and points to the long hand on the clock - "it's only been twelve minutes."
"WHAT!" Rainbow jumps in the air with bewilderment. "Where did you even find that thing?"
"Over" - Pinkie points over to a set of bushes - "there. It was just layed up against the bushes!"
"So... you found a random clock in the bushes?" Rainbow Dash asks bluntly.
"Yup!"
"Okay..."
Fluttershy walks a little bit faster to catch up to Twilight.
"Umm, Twilight? What did the orb look like?"
"Uhhh it look black with an bright outline," Twilight wistfully says.
"Is-is it the one I'm looking at right now?"
"What? Oh!" Twilight sees what Fluttershy was talking about and sure enough. It was the same orb she saw earlier.
The four other mares see the orb as well. The six ponies stare at the orb in curiosity. It looks like an eclipse, when the moon hovers over the sun.
"Uhhh... w-what do we do now Twilight?" Rarity anxiously asks.
Twilight takes a step forward.
"Twilight, what do you think you're doing?" Rainbow Dash asks.
"Examining it." Twilight gives a simple answer, which happens to be too complicated for Rainbow Dash.
"Exam-what? Twilight, I don't speak egghead," Rainbow Dash bluntly says.
"It means that she's checking it... to see what it is," Rarity explains.
"Right... wait, IS THAT EVEN A GOOD IDEA? what if it's dangerous!" Rainbow Dash yells.
"I have ta agree with Rainbow, Twilight! That orb could be dangerous," Applejack says cautiously.
"If it is, I'm sure we can handle it." Twilight looks back and smiles. "We are the elements of harmony after all! Aren't we?"
Applejack gives Twilight half a smile. "Yes, we are still... be careful."
Twilight nods and turns back around to the ominous orb. She steps closer to it and stares at it. She inspects it from numerous angles, nothing bad has happened. Until she decides to use her magic to move it. She uses a simple gravitational spell on the strange orb which, in return diverts the spell back to Twilight in a loud boom and sends her flying back into a tree.
"TWILIGHT!" The five mares rush to their friends side to see if she was okay. Fortunately, she was fine.
Twilight lets out a groan "urgh... ow"- Twilight sits up -"I'm okay, just a bit of pain."
"Yeah, getting thrown into a tree will do that to you and also... I thought I told you to be careful!" Rainbow Dash yells.
"I wa-" Twilight gasps "-look!" The five mares turn around and look straight to the orb. It seemed to be... rotating now. The ominous orb started to rotate faster by the second and it also looks as if it's getting bigger.
"Oh look! It's turning into a portal!" Pinkie yells.
"Okay, lets go now!" Rainbow Dash yells. Applejack and Rainbow assist Twilight getting back up. Soon after all six try to start running but were being pulled back instead.
"WHAT'S GOING ON?" Rainbow yells frantically.
"I C-CAN'T MOVE FOWARD!" Applejack struggles to run.
"WHAT IS HAPPENING!"
Fluttershy screams at the top of her lungs while Pinkie Pie is laughing.
"Woohooooo!!! THIS IS FUN!"
"YOU CALL THIS FUN? WE ARE BEING SUCKED INTO. A .PORTAL!" Rainbow Dash yells.
The six mares are lift off the ground and are pulled into the gateway. Before they were able to get dragged into the portal, they all latched onto separate trees. Twilight looks back to the orb and sees that it has grown into a dark vortex.
Teleportation! Twilight thought. "EVERYPONY LISTEN! I'M GON-" the vortex did not let her finish, instead the force became much more stronger and the ponies (unfortunately) were not able to hold on any longer. They all let their graps slip and they were all sucked through the vortex before Twilight could teleport them out of the Everfree Forest.
