The rain continued unrelenting as I ran towards the farm. As I was about to pass twilight's house, but a zombified snails stepped into my path. Not wanting to waste time I turned to my right to go around him but, the bleeding derpy stepped out into my path. Everywhere I turned more zomponies continued to step out and intercept my path. Very fast I was surrounded by the undead and pinkies words rang through my head. " It had to be done." " They were already dead.". I reached into my saddlebag and grabbed out the uzi. I kicked snails's teeth into the back of his throat, then I turned to derpy and put seven bullets into her head which in turn dropped her to the ground. The sound of a sub machine gun sounded somewhere behind me, making me fearfully turn around to see every zompony slouch over onto the ground. The zomponies on the other side of me rushed biting at my tail which made me run forward and right into pinkie.
" you do know how to use that gun I gave you right?"  She asks and I don't know if shes kidding or not but the look on her face leads me to believe she isn't kidding.
" yes didn't you see me?" I ask trotting along beside her.
" I saw you nearly die." She says in a way that is a lot more serious than usual.
" I would have got out of there alive." I said as if it was nothing sounding way to much like Rainbowdash.
" Help me with this." She said tossing me a rope. The rope was attached to a wagon that towered over pinkie and I, the wagon was covered with a large pink tarp that had pinkie pie's cutie mark right in the middle. I grabbed the rope and continued running although the weight of the wagon slowed me tremendously. As we ran across the bridge a streak of blue light flew very fast in between us. Pinkie pulled out her gun, and wanting to be ready like her I pulled out my uzi. The streak made another pass, pinkie reacted much faster than I did and shot the flying zompony leader out of the sky. As we rolled past her dead body I dumped half a clip into her right wing, the sound of the wheel thumping over her was sickening but pleased me. We ran quickly to the barn not slowing until we had arrived there.
" If you have any guns go get them now the others will be here soon, that is if they didn't die along the way." She said untying the tarp.
" OK I will be right back" I said rushing off into the house, being quick but silent. The silence was deafening as I crept through the small house towards my room. I yanked my gun out of my bag leading with it that way if anypony or anything tried to attack me I could just put a few rounds into its head. Eventually after what seemed like an eternity I reached my room which for some unknown reason was a complete disaster. My shotgun was lying in the middle of the room covered in blood, although I didn't want to think where that blood had come from. I lifted it out of the small pool of blood pumping it, only to find that all the shots were still in it. What ever had gone down in this room today was unthinkable, whoever died didn't even have time to pump the gun. I crawled out the window back into the roaring rain. I practically crawled to the edge of the roof searching through the rain for any sign of pinkie or anypony else for that matter. 
"Hey applejack!" Twilight called from somewhere on the aluminum plated roof, which actually looked more like tin foil.
" Oh hey twi...TWILIGHT!" I screeched freaking out at the fact twilight was on my roof.
" Yeah, Pinkie told me to chill up here and snipe." She says a smile on her face.
"Who else is here?" I asked scanning the rain for any other signs of life.
"Vinyl and Pinkie Pie. You should get on the ground, that shotgun isn't going to do well for long range." she said sounding smarter about guns than I was which was surprising to me. Moans and groans sounded off in the distance which meant that they were on there way.
