//------------------------------// // Tape two: Pipsqueak // Story: Equis War Z // by bluemoon1996 //------------------------------// I met Pipsqueak at popular bar in New Ponyville. After quickly getting ourselves a two-seat table, we begin the interview. We have to shout just to hear each other over the drunken revelry. I'm here with Pipsqueak, a Trottingham native and survivor of the Outbreak there It was chaos; the infected where crawling out of every nook and cranny, and everypony still with a pulse was doing their part to fight the rotting bastards. Everypony from Royal Marines, to house-wives, and blue-collar office workers was trying their damnedest to hold back the tide of those festering corpses with everything from military rifles to baseball bats and cleavers. And You? I was with the marines on the roof of the First National Bank. You where with Colonel Evergreen and his men?!? [Pip's voice suddenly filled with pride] Yes I was. He, himself, handed me a rifle and said shoot. We held off those buggers so that the sky carts could get as many civilians out of that nightmare as possible. Back then, we didn't know that only head shots would take them down. So the fifty or so marines up on the roof were hardly doing hardly anything And when did you evacuate? When the walls were tumblin' down around our ears. The infected were about to bust through the gates at any moment. I was one of the last to leave, there was plenty of room on the cart...but he wanted to stay behind. The last I saw of Colonel Evergreen was him standing there... epically, a pair of pistols in each hand...[Pip paused for a brief second and sighed] I like to think he left this world on his own terms.
