//------------------------------// // Chapter 4: The Reunion // Story: Left 4 Dead: Equestria // by Ken10Ethan //------------------------------// The following day Coach's eyes hurt from being awake all day. He got up, walked outside, and saw that it was early in the morning, he could swear he heard somebody shouting "Twilight!" far away, he went inside, nudged the purple unicorn to wake up, and began talking with Louis. "So, how'd you lose your friend, anyway?" Louis sighed "He..Didn't make it, he had to stay behind to start the generator..." he shrugged and said "So he had to stay behind to get it wor-" they heard someone shouting "Twilight! Monsters are near Fluttershy's!" Louis instantly knew what was happening, "Infected..." Coach grabbed his P220 and holstered it, he motioned for Louis to do the same. They heard muffled, sleepy speaking "..Pinkie..What's wrong?" "Weird ponies are attacking Fluttershy!" Coach ran upstairs and said "Infected, where is this person's house?" the pink pony looked a little suprised, but said "Over here! Follow me!" and jumped away, they followed. "Ellis! Guard that damn window!" Nick shouted, the day had came from bad to worse every minute, more and more infected had turned up, worse of all, the Pegasus that lived here couldn't even bring herself to shoot them! "Ro, protect the..Horse..Thing..." Nick then pulled out a pipe bomb, one of two, and tossed it out the window, a fraction of the Infected run towards it, clawing at it's surface. "3....2....1" Nick counted down, grinning, then..BOOM! The infected blew up in a bloody mist. Fluttershy gave a whimper as she saw this, but other than that stayed quiet for most of the horde. Ellis shouted angrily "Ah don't mind to be rude, but WHAT THE HELL DID Y'ALL THINK WAS GONNA HAPPEN WHEN Y'ALL ACCIDENTLY TURN ON A PIPE BOMB? DID Y'ALL THINK A PARADE WAS GONNA COME OR SOME SHIT LIKE THAT?" Nick responded with a "Hey! You did just as much as i did!" This wasn't techinaclly true, as all Ellis did was shout to let them know what had happened, but he had to bring the blame on anyone else he could, this was one of his rules of his old conning business. Fluttershy said quietly "T-Twilight is here..." and continued to simply lay with Rochelle and whimper, a loud, familar voice shouted "Louis! Watch the back and flank 'em when i throw a pipe bomb!" and soon, bullet fire was heard from the outside. Ellis smiled "Ah shit, guys! It's Coach! Ah told y'all he was goin' to be 'ere!" A loud, beeping sound was heard, and they heard roaring, not infected, but human saying "C'MON AND GET IT! THIS IS FOR BILL!" and the sound of (one) rapid fire pistol. Once most of the infected were cleared, Ellis and Nick cleared the stragglers and Coach and Louis entered the small cottage. Coach smiled happily and said "Sheeet! It's good to see y'all!' and Louis said "Hey, guys!" But they weren't out of the woods yet...There was a Tank approaching...And it sounded angry..
