“Ugh…” Rainbow Dash wakes up in her cloud house. She looks around, everything seems normal. She got up and walked through the house, “Hey, Cotton! Are you there?” Rainbow Dash walked up to the bathroom door. Cotton Candy was on the other side.
“Yeah! I’m showering!” 
“Oh…um…Alright!”
Rainbow looked away and headed into the living room. Two Children sat on the couch. “Hey Swirl, Hey Crispy.” Rainbow greeted with delight. “Morning Mom.” They both said. Rainbow Swirl was an 18 year old Pegasus mare. Crispy Pie was a 12 year old Pegasus Colt. “Hey…Crispy, are you ready for school?” 
“Yeah.” 
“Swirl, you coming?”

Rainbow Swirl simply nods yes. “Come on guys.” Rainbow gestures the two to get up and there about to leave. “Hey Cotton! I’m taking the Kids!” “Alright! Be safe!” Rainbow Dash shut the door. Rainbow Swirl took flight. She started floating a few feet above the cloud house. “Hey Crispy, get on my back.” “Alright.” 

Crispy Pie was different from other Pegasus. He was born without wings, giving him cloud magic but no flight. He’s carried up and down the cloud mansion. Crispy Climbed onto Rainbow’s Back and was carried safely to the ground. Swirl stayed in the air while Crispy and Rainbow Dash walked through town. “Hey Get down!” Some soldier ponies pinned this seemingly normal Mare. “Get off of me! Get off of me!” She screamed, The guards neutralized the threat. Rainbow Swirl and Dash saw what took place. Rainbow Dash grabbed Crispy and began walking faster towards the school. In only a few minutes they made it.

“Have a good day Crispy.” “I will, Love you Mom!” “Love you two…” Crispy hugs Rainbow Dash and goes inside. Swirl and Dash made their way through town. “Hey…Mom? About that thing we saw earlier…” “I wonder what that mare did…” The two rainbow haired mares walked into a shop and sat down. 
“Something’s not right Mom…”
“I know…”
“We need to figure it out…”
“I know, but how?” 
“Let’s talk to aunt Twilight.” 
*Glass Shatters* *Somepony Screams*

A stallion landed in the shop. Broken glass surround him, He looked up in raged. His pupils were white, there was this white sud like liquid dripping from his mouth. His movements were quick and uncalculated. He jumped at a mare and bit her on the neck. Her flesh tore as he dug into her skin. She fell to the ground. More of these Zombies bursted through the windows. Rainbow Dash grabbed her Daughter and they ran towards the back exit. A Zombie grabbed onto Rainbow Swirl and Tried to bite her but Rainbow Dash Kicked it away. The two ran out the door and didn’t stop. Meanwhile Crispy sat inside his classroom. He was quite bored and wasn’t quite paying attention. He looked outside the window. He watched in horror as a building exploded in front of his eyes. The class began running and screaming. Zombies invaded the school. Crispy put a pencil in his mouth and ran through the school. The pencil was pretty dull. *Power Down* The lights shut off leaving Crispy in darkness, He began to shake. The zombies roamed the halls, *screams* 

Crispy heard a scream, he jumped into one of the lockers. He watched as a group of Zombies charged down the hallway. Crispy started to tear up as he sat in the locker. He cracked it open and walked back into the hallway. He continued walking through the cold hallways. 

It was silent, “Hello…? Is anypony there…?” He asked with fear pouring through every fiber of his being. No pony answered, he was alone. Crispy continued his trek through the halls. He ran up to the gymnasium door, it was freezing. He looked behind him, 5 of those…sick ponies stood down the hallway. Crispy made eye contact with the group. *running* *screeches* The zombies screeched as they made a full sprint towards the filly. 

“Well um…the Gym sounds nice!” He said as he opened the door and closed it behind him. *racket sliding* Crispy moved a ball rack in front of the door. The zombies banged on it from the other side, begging and pleading for him to let them in. “That won’t hold them long…” He said, Crispy grabbed a saddlebag from the floor and placed it on his back. He jumped up to a nearby window. 

“Come on! Budge!” Crispy pushed his weight against the glass. “Open!” *Stomp* *Crack* “Open!” *stomp* *crack* “OPEN!” *stomp* *shatter* The glass shattered and Crispy hopped out the window. “I need to find mom…” he said before running into the town.

Rainbow Dash & Rainbow Swirl stayed in the shadows of the town, “Crispy…where are you…?” Swirl asked quietly. “Quiet.” Rainbow said, a zombie walked in front of the path, “what are you gonna do mom…?” “I’m gonna take this pony down…” Rainbow Snuck up and lifted her hoove above the zombies neck. She pulled it around and squeezed, Dash strangled the zombie until it stopped breathing. She then placed the body on the floor. 

“All clear…” 
“I can’t believe you just did that…” 
“How so?” 
“That was awesome…” 
The duo continued making their way through the town, On the way they saw Crispy. “Crispy…are you safe?” Rainbow Asked, clutching her son.
“Yeah…I’m fine…” Crispy simply replied.
“We need to get out of here.” 
“What about Our other mom?” Rainbow Swirl said while looking at the cloud house. “We just need to get her out of there first…” As Rainbow Dash finished her sentence she saw 10 healthy Pegasus fly into the house, “I’ll get your mother, you and Crispy stay safe…” “Alright mom…” Rainbow Dash flew off. The sun started to set and night overtook the city. “At least we know the princesses are okay…” Swirl said with a small giggle. “Let’s find somewhere to stay…” Crispy began walking, Swirl followed close behind.

A bat pony sat inside one of the shops in town, he had a small group. “What is going on out there…” “Volt?” “What is it?” Volt looked back to see a blue mare standing behind him. “We have no supplies, we need to start scavenging before it’s two late…” “Are Tavi & Vinyl gonna be okay?” “Yeah…” The blue mare looked at Octavia and Vinyl who were sitting in there own corner. “Come on Flower…” Volt walked towards the door. 

“We’ll be back soon guys, stay safe…” The two ponies nodded and waved them goodbye. “Where to first…” Volt asked, “How about we go to the market?” “Sounds good.” Volt & Flower began walking through the town, It was the middle of the night. *Screams* A scream was heard in the distance. 

“Wait…” Volt halted, Flower did the same. Infected ran through the streets in front of them. “Let’s move…” The two continued through the town. They reached the market, “It’s shut…” “I can fix that.” Volt lifted into the air, he bit onto Flowers tail and lifted her up. Volt flew onto the roof then dropped her down. “K…let’s see what we got.” Flower Whispered, she walked up to the roof entrance. 

*creak* it opens, “Ladies First?” “Seriously?” “Uh…never mind….” “Come on, let’s move…” Volt moves by the mare and enters the building. It’s dark and cold, volt tries to find something that could give them light. He finds a flashlight, *Shakes* *click* The flashlight turns on. The room they were in was a storage room, it seemed as if they were alone. “Follow me…” Volt said, walking though the building. Him and Flower walk around grabbing supplies. Downstairs something lurked…Something Big… “You ready to get out of here?” Volt asked while walking back to the door. 

“Yeah…just give me a minute.” At this point she acquired her own Flashlight. She hears something downstairs. “What…the…?” She goes down to investigate. *creak* She saw nothing but shadows. “Hello? Is there any pony there?” She asked, the massive enclosure echoed back to her. *growl* “what was that?” She turned back *Screech* “Ah!” She Let out a small scream as she began running, the thing chasing her was a big Infected pony. 

It staggered through the dark isles of the market. She picked up a nearby baseball bat, she trembled in fear. *Baseball bat hits and breaks* As the monster charged at the mare, she swung the baseball bat. The infected was stunned, “Back off!” Flower ran towards the door. It was locked, “Open! Please Open!” The door didn’t budge. Volt came came down the steps. “What the Heck is that thing?!?” It began to charge for Flower, *5 gunshots* The two ponies look to the side. “You two alright?” A yellow mare asked with a small giggle. Her magic enveloped a pistol, She moved her gun to her holster. 

“Yeah I’m fine…thanks for the help…” Flower said. “No problem…so, what are y’all names?” “Im…Midnight Flower…” “Midnight…how about you?” “I’m Voltaic.” “I’m Banana Cream…what are you guys doing in here?” “Finding Supplies…” Flower said. “You two stay safe, nice meeting you.” “You two…” Banana Has a backpack on, she opens up the backpack and pulls out a machete, she cuts the lock on the door. “Get out of here before more infected show up. “Alright.” The two ponies say, Flower opens the door and they run out. “They seem nice…” Banana Said, “But still no sign of AJ…please be okay hun…”
