Rumble said quickly as he dodged a second lunge at his throat from the zombified mare. "Please stop...this isn't yo-" "Sir!" Noteworthy snarled. "That isn't bucking Raindrops anymore she's a bucking Zombie...seriously we just had this conversation...like a second ago!" 'Right...right..." Rumble said with a quick nod of his head. "Sorry...um....just got a little distracted...with you know...the fact my marefriend is trying to bite my head off!!'" "Ok...what are we going to do!" Rumble said quickly. "Should I...well you know...?" Rumble bit his lip. "I don't think theres any other choice...you're going to have t-" Rumble stopped suddenly as the mare pushed him back a bit almost overpowering him but at the last second Rumble gained his footing and pushed the mare back. "Seriously would you stop that!!!" Rumble swore under his breath then turn to the Blue stallion and sighed. "Yeah...if you wouldn't mind could you PLEASE...shoot officer Raindrops and the stallion over there!" "I-I understand sir..." Noteworthy said as he took in a deep breath. "I'm sorry...it has to be this way..." "I know..." Rumble said softly. "I know..."Rumble stared into the pegasus mare's dead lifeless eyes; then turned back to Noteworthy. "...but it has to be done..." "Right." Noteworthy said slowly as he turned to the puke green Stallion (seriously what is taking this Zombie so long...what is he pausing every time they talk or something.). Noteworthy lifted his gun up; slowly balancing it as he took aim. "He's a zombie...gotta aim for the head...one bullet...that's all it'll take...then Raindrops." Noteworthy told himself. "after that we'll meet up with Apple Bloom and the others and get the buck out of this bucking place...just two bullets and it's over..." Noteworthy steadied the gun; his breathing slowed as he the barrel moved into position between the Zombie's eyes. "Bang!" Noteworthy said in a cool action movie sort of way. The room went silent but only for a second as the zombie stallion's groans quickly drowned all other sounds in the room. "Well?" Rumble said slowly. "Are you going to shoot him or what!?" Noteworthy grimaced as his head shot downward to the gun. To his surprise nothing had happened. "I thought I di-...ok then..." Noteworthy took aim again. "lets try this again..." "Fire!" Noteworthy said as he tilted the gun slightly. "SHOOT!!!" Noteworthy said in a more annoyed tone. "Do something!!!'Noteworthy snarled as he shook the gun violently "What in Equestria are you doin-!?" Rumble cried as he took a few steps backward as he was quickly losing his strength. "You can't just yell gun words and expect something to happen! Just bucking shoot him!" Noteworthy tilted the gun slowly. "Um...ok....quick question..." "What!' Rumble shouted in annoyance. "How...do I shoot a gun?" Noteworthy chuckled nervously. Rumble's face went pale. "W-wh-what..." Rumble stammered for a few before finding his voice again. "WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU DON"T KNOW HOW TO FIRE A GUN!!!"Runble shouted. 'I've never shot one before!" Noteworthy said with a grimace. "I mean...I've alway been under the impression you just give a gun a command and it fired." "Wh-no." Rumble groan (if he wasn't fighting for dear life Rumble would have probably facehoofed.). "...that is...quite possibly... the stupidest thing I've ever heard in my life!!!" "Well how would I know!" Noteworthy replied angrily. "Just go back to your trai-" Runble started. "Training!!" Noteworthy yelped. "What training...we were taught how to use pies....freaking pies! Hell I didn't even know we had guns until a few hours ago!!!" "Ok listen...just pull the trigger..." Rumble said calm voice. "That's it...alright..." Noteworthy lifted the gun to his face; examining it slowly. The stallion's eyes moved from the trigger; to his hoof then back at Rumble. "How...with my tongue!?" Noteworthy snarled. "This is a hoof!" Noteworthy waved his front hoof rapidly. "It's not scientifically possible...but then again..." Noteworthy tilted his head slowly. "How am I even able to hold the gun in the firs-" "Noteworthy!" Rumble shouted. "This is a direct order from your commanding officer...shoot that thing now!!!" "But!?" "Do it now!" Rumble growled. "Ok...ok..." noteworthy took in a deep breath. "I'll do it...or I'll try at least...but I'll need complete silence so i can concentr-' "SHOOT IT!' Rumble Screamed at the top of his lungs."SHOOT IT! SHOOT IT! SHOOT IT! FOR GOD'S SAKE SHOOT IT THEN GET THIS...BITCH OFF ME!" "Rumble please...your not hel-" 'GET YOUR ASS IN GEAR AND KILL THESE BLOODY MONSTERS!!!' Runble screeched Noteworthy yelped and stumbled forward a bit from Rumbles shouts "Ok..." Noteworthy thought slowly. "We can do this...somehow...just aim and shoot..." Noteworthy extended his hoof keeping it steady. "Come on..." he closed his eyes."Please...just this once...please work..." Bang Noteworthy's eyes shot open as he watched the stallion fall backward. 'I-i...I did it!" Noteworthy smiled brightly. "I-i shot him I-" Noteworthy cheered as he turned around quickly. "I did i-" Noteworthy stopped mid sentence. "Wh-but,,...how did you...."Noteworthy grit his teeth. To Noteworthy's surpirse and mild confusion and annoyance; Rumble was holding out a gun with one of his hooves while his other was holding back the mare. A small stream of smoke poured from the tip of Rumble's gun. "H-how..did you do that..." Noteworthy said slowly as his one eye twitched. "That's not important right no-" Rumble's eyes quickly widened as one of Raindrops' rotted wings extended knocking the gun from his hoof; forcing him to hold her at bay once more with both of his hooves. "Noteworthy theres no time left! Quick get her off me!!" "Ok..." Noteworthy lowered his eyes. "but first your going to tell me how you shot that gun..." "WHAT!!!" Rumble screamed. "ARE YOU BUCKING INSANE!!" "Just tell me how you shot the gun!" Noteworthy snarled. . "I-I'm losing my str-" "Seriously It would take like a second." Noteworthy tilted his head. "Just tell me and I'll get the zom-" "THERES NO TIME!!' Rumble snarled. "Oh..." Noteworthy narrowed his eyes and snickered a bit. "Well guess what...I have all the time in the world..." Noteworthy sat down and folded his arms. "So unless you want to be lunch...I suggest telling me." Rumble grimaced tilting his head towards the blue stallion. "Noteworthy please!!" Rumble pleaded; his eyes wide with fear. "I-I don't know how much longer I ca-" The mare let out a loud moan as she used her strength to push Rumble backward. The light gray pegasus hit the ground hard; his head collided with the marble floor dazing him for a few seconds. His eyes fluttered slightly as he attempted to ajust his vision; when he looked up he saw raindrops standing over him. Rumble's eyes went blank. "O-Oh Go-" The mare moaned lightly as she sunk her teeth into Rumble's shoulder; tearing a mouthful of flesh from the stallion's body. Rumble opened his mouth to scream but ended up coughing up blood as Raindrops ripped open his chest and began to eat his insides. Rumble's eye went blank as his life's Blood began to pooled around him; in a manner of seconds the stallion was dead. Noteworthy stare dumbfounded at the horrible scene. "Oh...wow...t-that..did not work out as planned..." Noteworthy said softly as the mare continued to feast on Captain Rumble. "W-why...why didn't you just tell me..." A loud snarl caught Noteworthy's attention. The stallion turned sharply only to see the zombie stallion standing back up.The stallion's face and most of his body was blood red as if the creature had gone through somesort of transformation. Long bone-like claws stuck out from the stallion's front hooves as he took a step forward. "Oh...shi-" Noteworthy's eyes widened in panic as he held out his gun.."GODDAMNIT RUMBLE" Noteworthy screamed as he twisted the gun in every direction. The stallion charged forward at a surprising speed; his left claw swatted Noteworthy's gun from his hoof as he aimed his right one for Noteworthy's chest. "I immediatly regret all of my life's decisions..." Noteworthy sighed softly. The Zombie (crimson head.) stabbed Noteworthy repeatedly through the chest spraying his blood all across the floor.Noteworthy gasped with each strike; blood pouring from his mouth from the unending pain he felt. The zombie let out a raspy moan then stabbed Noteworthy through the thoart and threw him to the ground. Noteworthy held his bloody neck with a hoof; his vision began to blurr; the last thing he saw was a pink bow appearing from the doorway and the stallion's head exploding. Noteworthy gasped one final time before closing his heavy eyes and slowly drifting off into his eternal rest (still cursing Rumbles name of course.). ~~~ BANG "Wait!?" Apple Bloom said slowly as she tilted one of her ears upward. "Was that gunfire?" "I didn't hear a thing..." Pip said with a nod without even looking back. Apple Bloom narrowed her eyes at the stallion. "What?" Pip said with a nervous chuckle. Apple Bloom sighed and rolled her eyes. "Come on..." Apple Bloom pulled the pinto stallion back around the building with Truffle Shuffle following close behind. "I'm sure theres a reasonable explanation for that gunshot..." Pip sighed softly as he was dragged along. "The captain and Noteworthy could be in trouble..." Apple Bloom said with worry in her voice. "Oh yes..." Pip sarcastically. "That would be horrible." "They could be hurt!" Apple Bloom grimaced as they rounded the corner; stopping at the doorway to the building. "Well it'sa not like there being brutally murd-" Apple Bloom's hoof grabbed Pip and pulled him forward. "Apple Bloom what are you..." Pip's eyes widened at the carnage that was in front of him. "Oh...oh God..."Pipsqueak said slowly. The three watched in horror as Noteworthy as stabbed repeatedly and thrown to the ground. "NOTEWORTHY!" Apple Bloom yelped. The young mare charged forward. She stopped suddenly pulling out her pistol and taking aim. Apple bloom fired a single shot that blew through the clawed stallion's head causing it to explode. Apple Bloom rushed forward kicking the stallion's body away and knelt down putting a hoof on Noteworthy's neck to feel for a pulse. "D-dead..." Apple bloom whispered softly. "...h-he's...dead..." Apple Bloom lowered her head as a few tears formed at the sides of her eyes. "Um..." Pip said quickly as he turned Apple Bloom's head slightly. "I think we have bigger problems..." Apple Bloom's eyes locked onto the puke green mare across from them. The pegasus mare was knelt down infront of another pony. Her teeth were stained red and her eyes were dead. Her face was covered in crimson as she tilted her head burying it into the body infront of her. Apple Bloom folded her ears and put a hoof to her face. "Sh-shes...eatin'em...ain't she..." "Is that..." truffle said slowly. "Yup...that's officer raindrops..."Pip sighed softly. ."A-and the one shes eating..." Truffle said with a grimace. "...is that th-the captain..." 'I-I...think...it is..."Apple Bloom closed her eyes and lowered her head slowly. Pip tilted his head slightly at the corpse the mare was feasting and nodded. "Oh no...they killed the captain..."Pip said in a monotone voice."Well ate...is a more appropriate word I guess..." Apple Bloom's face turned green. . "Oh...Oh God I think I'm gonna be sick..." Apple Bloom turned her head away from the horrid scene and emptied her stomach onto the floor; but made sure not to throw up to close to herself or the others. Raindrops lifted her head from Rumble's body; staing at the three with her cold dead eyes. Raindrops moaned lightly and stood up; she staggered forward walking towards Apple bloom and the others. "What bloody hell is going on in this place!!" Pip snarled as he shot upward from the ground and took aim at the mare. Pip tilted his head as he looked over the mare's broken and decaying body. "I can't even believe i'm saying this but... I-I think Raindrops is a bloody zombie..." Apple Bloom took a few second to process this. "A Zombie...how in the world..." "No time to talk!" Pip said quickly as he leveled his gun. Apple Bloom nodded and took up a stance as well; taking aim for the mare's head. The mare moaned one last time before three bullets hit her twice in the chest and once through the head. "The head...gotta hit'em in the head..."Apple Bloom reminded herself before looking up at Pip. "I guess comics and movies can be right sometimes huh..." Pip nodde then looked over at Rumble's torn apart body. "She certainly did a number on him..." Truffle slowly walked over to Rumble slowly bending down; to his surprise Rumble's eyes began to open. "Guys!" Truffle yelped. "I-I think Rumbles still alive!" Apple Bloom's face went pale. "Truffle!" She squeaked. "QUICK GET AWAY FROM HIM!!!" Truffle blinked and looked up at Apple bloom. "Huh...Why?" "I have two very important reasons!!!" Apple Bloom said quickly. "One...he was bitten...and half eaten by a zombie...meaning that he's going to turn into one himself! And two..." Apple paused for a second. "...you've had less then ten lines in the entire story!!!" Truffle blinked slowly puting the pieces together in his head . "I'm screwed aren't I..." Rumble lept forward grabbing Truffle and pulled him to the ground. Zombie Rumble bit down on Truffle's neck; tearing out his throat. "NO!!!" Apple bloom screamed as she took aim but before she could fire Pip's hoof shot infront of her. "Oh please..." Pip said with a half smile. "Let me have this..." Apple Bloom closed her eyes and nodded. Pip slowly walked up to the zombie that had been his captain and took aim. "Mister Crumpet..."Pip said through gritted teeth."...says goodbye." Pip fired two shots into rumble's head and another into truffle's. "I-I can't believe...this is happening..." Apple Bloom said softly. "Does that mean that Sweetie and scootaloo are..." Pip grabbed Apple Bloom's shoulder pulling her forward. "We have to get out of here." Pip pulled Apple bloom towards the door. "Now!" "B-but my friends..." Apple bloom said slowly. "No time!" Pipsqueak said quickly." We can call for reinforcements or something but I'm not staying in this death house another seco-" Suddenly a large steel shutterr slid downward over the doorway. The same shutters closed over the windows as well; leaving Apple bloom and Pipsqueak trapped in the room. Apple Bloom took in several breaths as she looked over the sealed room. "W-what now?" Pip sighed softly as he placed a hoof to his face. "This day...it just keeps getting better and better..." ~to be continued~
