The lights were flickering ahead of me I continued to walk down the hall. The only way to go was forward the quarantine barriers blocked the other path to the government section of Titan Station. I looked at my rigs holographic map I was coming up to T-intersection . I was going to have to go left, I reached the intersection. Like my mom always said look both ways I looked to my right nothing to my left nothing. I started walking down the left path when I heard the worst noise I’ve ever heard, it had come from behind me I turned around to see hundreds of necromorphs, I nearly pissed my self. They noticed me they were now charging directly at me I turned around ran as fast as I could . Those damn things were gaining ground on me fast I needed to do something or I’d be ripped to shreds. I saw a support beam holding up the ceiling. While running I took my grenade belt off and activated all my pules grenades and threw them at the pillar. The screams of necromorphs right behind me now. The grenades exploded and sent me flying through the air, smack into a wall my ears were ringing, head pounding, and vision blurred from the pain. A piece of shrapnel embedded its self in to my right thigh I ripped it out, then I looked around for necromorphs there were none to be found. I used a med-pack to heal my self, my rig was blue once more. I didn't have a weapon to defended my self with. I looked around and saw a store a few yards away, lucky for me martial law was declared so I could get my self a weapon and armor. I walked up to the store “Welcome Earth Defense Force Sargent Austin Schroeder.” said the stores cold automated voice. I opened the stores inventory menu; pulse rifle 0 credits, pulse rifle ammo 0 credits, pulse rifle grenades 0 credits, military suit 0 credits. I got the pulse rifle and ammo and one rifle grenade, then the stores display menu lifted up and the doors on the back of the store opened up I knew what to do. I turned my back to the store and walked backwards the magnets did the rest. My back was being held in place by a magnetic force. A blinding light forced me to shut my eyes, and I started to feel a slight tingling sensation through out my whole body. The light started to fade along with the tingling sensation the door opened, and magnet released. I looked down at myself the suit was on. I always wondered how the hell it worked, but I didn't question it. As a walked out the stores display started to lower. I I turned back to face the display I went to med-packs, out of stock, “damn,” I mumbled to my self. My rig was blue but that could change very fast when dealing with necromorphs. Then I heard a slight ping come from my rig I had received a massage from my friend I played the message, “if your getting this then my rig has flat lined'”he said with sorrow in his voice. “I wanted you to know all the paths to the government section of Titan Station have been closed off, I also wanted you to know that you have been the best friend a man could have, since the 2nd grade I’ve counted you as a brother you have always been there for me” I heard the screams of necromorphs in the recording “ I'm going to take as many of these bastards with me as I can,” I heard the activation of pulse grenades, then a loud bang the recording stopped after that. “I'll miss you to brother” I said while tears were sliding down my face. “tears aren't going to bring him back,” I said allowed. I'll heard banging against the rocks from the cave in I caused. Rage flowing threw my veins now these bastards just killed my brother. Necromorphs started pouring through the newly opened hole I opened fire on them, if they got to close I used stasis on them it made shooting them a hell of allot easier. To conserve ammo I picked up there bladed arms from the dead ones with telekinesis and threw them at there friends I pined a few of them to the wall and the floor. Then they were on me before I could react, one stab-ed me to the left of my stomach I came down with my gun as hard as I could. I broke the arm clear off. I threw a stasis around the necromorphs near by. I ripped the blade out of my stomach along with the stab I felt cuts through out my whole body. I looked up and saw brute charging at me I knew I was done for. I loaded the grenade rifle shot. I noticed There was a window to my right. It looked off into space I lifted my pulse rifle and fired the grenade. Me as well as the necromorphs were sucked into space, my rifle was ripped from my hands. I knew I would't make it. I closed my eyes for what I thought was the last time. I felt a warm tingling sensation through out my whole body, I opened my eyes, and was greeted by a bright light. This couldn't be right I know that I didn't deserve to go to heaven or where ever good people went when they died. The light and the feeling stopped, and then came the feel of vertigo. I hit the ground with a thud “damn,” I said through clenched teeth. I looked around me what I was seeing made no sense trees, and blue skis. These things I was seeing were rare even on earth. Then the pain came back as if wanting me to no that I wasn't dead. My head was spinning, and my heart was pounding. I looked at my rig it was red and dropping. I thought I was done for. Then I heard talking nearby it was English to, I couldn't make out what they were saying, but it was very close, and it was my only chance of survival. I stood up to fast I felt like I was going to vomit, and the pain was on the threshold of unbearable.If I even had a chance of survival this was it. As I was about to came out from behind the trees I lowered my mask. “Help” I yelled as loud as I could , then I saw them horses pink, yellow, purple, orange, white, and even cyan. The last thing I muttered before I passed out was ,“what the fuck.”

Ponyville 2 hours ago
“Twilight hurry up,” yelled Pinkie Pie. “ I'll be right down,” Twilight replied. Twilight and her friends were going on a picnic.Twilight and all her friends except for Rarity had arrived. "late as usual" said an annoyed Rainbow Dash. "There she is" Pinkie Pie said hopping up and down. Rarity was dressed up for the occasion. Fluttershy set the picnic blanket down. "Sorry i'm late" Rarity said while setting out the food in delicate and orderly manner. A bright light flashed from the forest. “what was that” Rainbow Dash asked with a surprised look on here face. “I don't know sweet heart,” A.J. Replied. Then something walked out from behind trees “help,” the creature yelled. The creature was massive it was as tall as Celestia, the creature was wearing some type of armor. The creature looked at Twilight and her friends and said something they couldn't make out and feel to the ground. The creature was injured it had cuts all over it. “it needs help,” Fluttershy said. “agreed” Twilight said, “are you sure it could be dangerous,” Rarity said. “it needs our help we can't let it die,” Fluttershy said concern in hear voice. “were taking it to the hospital,” Twilight said. When Twilight and her friends arrived the doctors didn't even know what to do. They managed to stop the bleeding and set the creature in its own room. luckily there was no one around when they took it to the hospital. Spike sent a letter to princess Celestia detailing what had happened. Now it was just the waiting game would the creature die, if it woke up what would it do, Twilight thought of all the outcomes, but they couldn't be answered until something happened. "Twilight" Shining Armor said with a smile on his face. Twilight was surprised to see her brother here. They hugged each other "also I brought a guest," Shining Armor said looking behind him. "Princess Luna," Twilight said bowing her head. "Easy Twilight," Luna said smiling. "Were here to see the creature you found," Luna said. "We think it may be a human, from the details spike gave us," Luna continued. "A human," Twilight said, humans were only urban legends here in Ponyville. Twilight train of thought was cut short by nurse Redheart. "its up the creature is up." Then Twilight noticed some-pony at the end of the hall listening in on there conversation, it was Lyra. Lyra noticed Twilight had seen her she took off. The things Lyra heard "a human here in Ponyville," Lyra said excitedly allowed Lyra had to meet it. Twilight didn't have time to chase after her, there were more pressing matters such as the creature. The question who was going to talk to it.
