May 14 xxxx 6:14 pm
A sound of a motorcycle raged past the gravely silence of a ruined city. A single song played on the bike's radio.
Never gonna give you up, never gonna let you down, never turn around and desert you.
It looked something like out of a video game. The skyscrapers and buildings were torn apart with broken glass. Some of the city was covered in ash from fires long put out. The roads cracked and chipped, fith covered the sidewalks, and everywhere it seemed like an abandoned ghost town. Abandoned cars and other vehicles piled on top of one another. Twisted metal that was once street lamps and traffic lights lay there. Broken glass was everywhere, and an odor of decay was in the air, yet lifeless in every way. No bodies dead or alive to be seen.
No signs of life in any way as the shadows of the city darken most of the streets.
The time of day was obviously dusk as a warm orange glow filled the sky.
A setting for a video game maybe. But this was no video game. This was Pony vill. A once bustling city full of life was now a wasteland full of abandoned buildings.
The only sign of any life was the sound of the motorcycle that was going threw the quiet town playing never gonna give you up, an old song by Rara
On the back of the bike were two figures. One was a mare who was driving. She was a grey mare with a black main that had pink highlights in it. She wore fake leather boots jacket blue ripped-up jeans and a dirty ripped-up white tee shirt.
The other figure riding with her was a tall lengthy yellow pony wearing a white lab coat and all black. He had a backpack on as he rode alongside her.
Eventually, they came to a stop by what looked to be the remains of a grocery store.
She cut the engine of the bike and with the sound of it dying out was the last thing anything of any noize what so ever.
Not a bird, not the scurry sound of a rat or wend moved past their ears. The only sound was their own hooves hitting the ground as they walked.
Finally, it was the mare who broke the silence. "See what you can find that's edible I'm gonna try and find some water."
"Good luck I'll find food before you find water up here I bet." He chuckled.
"Carefully diss any sign of... THEM. And you come get me understand."
“Stop treating me like a baby, your are only what five minutes older than me. I know what to do Mel." He argued and took off his backpack. It was empty by the looks of it.
"I'm only being cautious, Remember the last time we went scavenging." She argued.
"We scavenged a hundred times since then." He argued back. “They never caught us and never will." He called back as he began digging around what remained.
"Just be careful please." She asked in a sudden tone.
He said nothing and continued his work as she went in the opposite direction.
Judging by the way the sun moved an hour had passed before he found anything remotely edible. "Hay jackpot," he said as he picked up a few granola bars. "We actually might have dinner tonight." He stuffed It in his bag and looked around. There on the ground was also a can of sprinkles. "Oh look desert too." He picked it up and looked at the flavors. "Cherry strawberry lemon... Ugh, no chocolate. Man, I miss chocolate." He shook his head. "Oh well." He said cheerfully and smiled brightly.
He didn't notice that in the shadows something was watching him. Turns out there was life there, but what was it?
There was just enough daylight left to see for him to return to the bike. He never noticed something was creeping up on him.
He called over a communicator he had. "Hay sis I got dinner, I even found sprinkles for dessert."
"That's good I got some water. It's filthy, but we can run it back over a filtration unit when we get back home. I'm on my way back now."
"Ok I'm at the bike," he said and hung up. He then looked out at the horizon and what little he could find that is. "Home huh." He whispered to himself thinking back.
A bright happy smile came to his mind.
He smiled a look of sadness as he finished his thoughts. "We're never going home, are we... Mom."
Just then he heard something behind him move making his eyes wide. He twitched his ears and scanned all directions with his eyes for any sign.
He then slowly blinked and when he reopened them his blue eyes were now a glowing yellow, with. Red slits. With his eyes this way he could see far better in the dark shadows of the city. Though he could make out more detail he could not see anything but he could smell it. It took a whiff of its stitch. It smelled like that of a carcass already. But with his smell heightened to its max, he could make out another sent. The sent of another creature.
He then quickly called his sister. "Hay sis we got a, ahhhh!"
The creature jumped out at him seemingly out of nowhere.
The pony literally flipped, the creature went flying off its back with his bag. He pulled out a rusty cleaver knife. It was not sharp but it was better than having no weapon at all
"Brother you alright!?"
The creature snarled at him, and he snarled back.
At the sound of both she grits her teeth showing her fangs. Her eyes began to glow and she took off on all fours running like a beast herself.
The creature was a strange slick black creature with green bug-like eyes. It had an exoskeleton and was very beatle-like, yet seemed to resemble that of a pony. Its hand sharp snarling fangs and it hissed at its prey.
The two creatures began circling one another looking for a good position to strike the other. Soon it was the pony who struck first but the creature dodged it and pushed it back.
Just then it was the other who jumped ahead about to join them. "Melody look out.' Yelled her brother.
Her eyes widen in shock and surprise. When...
BAM!!!
