"I spy with my little eye...something green." Scootaloo said, looking out at the landscape.
"Scootaloo, almost everything is green!" Rainbow complained.
"Oh." Scootaloo giggled a little. "How about...I spy with my little eye...something...hmm...orange!"
"Spitfire." Rainbow answered immediately.
Spitfire spun her head around. "Did you call me?" She asked Rainbow.
"No." Rainbow answered, smiling sarcastically. "Not at all."
"Okay?" Spitfire turned around, confused.
Rainbow looked down at Scootaloo. "My turn." She looked up. "I spy with my little eye...something..." Rainbow gasped. "TRAIN!"
"Train?" Scootaloo asked, looking up at Rainbow. "That's not a color!"
"No, kid!" Rainbow lifted Scootaloo up so she could see. "Train!"
Rainbow was not kidding. There was a train in the distance, sitting right on the tracks. Scootaloo's eyes widened, and everypony else rushed towards the train. This might be their lucky day after all.
Intro
CRACK!
A bullet flew into a zombie's skull, causing it to fall against the train. Applejack smiled and waved her hat. "All clear!" She called. The survivors moved forward to the train, now feeling safe that the surrounding zombies have been disposed of.
Twilight took a good look at the train. "It looks worn out." She said, scratching her mane.
"I hope it still works." Rainbow said, looking at it. "It sure looks out of date."
"Well, what are you waiting for?" Spitfire asked. "Let's get out."
Spitfire was about to get on the train, then Secret stopped her. "Don't go on there." He said.
"Why not?" Spitfire asked, stepping back.
Secret opened the door to the train, causing a zombie to fall out from inside. He then quickly shot it before it could react. "That's why."
"How did yo-" Twilight began.
Secret smirked. "Same way I do everything else when I'm blind." He said. "I thought ahead." Without any more answers or questions, Secret climbed aboard the train. The other survivors followed him. Secret shot a zombie that was at the front of the train with his shottie, then threw it to Spitfire, who gave a disgusted look and threw it out the open door.
He looked back at the others. "There's more in the passenger seats." He told them.
"Are y'all serious?!" Applejack asked, opening the door to the passenger cabin. Surely enough a zombie can barreling down the hall to them. Applejack ducked out of the way as Rainbow jumped over her and stabbed the zombie in the head with her katana. She fell to the ground, looking up as the zombie fell over with grace. She trotted up to it and removed the katana from it's skull.
"Nice jump." Applejack complimented.
"Nice duck." Rainbow replied, nodding sarcastically.
Luna, Secret, and Scootaloo stayed at the front of the train, while the others went out to clear the train of the zombies. There were five cabins. That was all they needed.
Spitfire and Twilight flew up to the top of the cabins, while Rainbow and Applejack stayed on the ground level. Rainbow and Applejack went to the door of the second cabin, while Spitfire and Twilight made there way across the roofs.
"Breaching on 3, 2..." Rainbow looked at Applejack. "Go!" Rainbow Dash kicked open the door and hit the floor as Applejack fired a shot at a zombie, getting a clean shot to the head. Rainbow then ran in sliced at the other two zombies that were in the cabin.
After clearing that one, they moved on to the next one. Rainbow kicked open the door, only to see Twilight fall from the roof onto a zombie, her scythe striking it right into the skull. Twilight looked up, her eyes wide. "Whoops." She giggled awkwardly. A zombie popped up behind her, only to get shot down by Spitfire.
"Watch your back, Twilight!" She called as she looked down from the hatch. She jumped over the hatch and kept moving towards the back.
"Sorry!" Twilight called, getting up and brushing herself off. Rainbow and Applejack passed by her, and she watched them as they went on to the next cart. Twilight sighed and went to check on Luna and Secret.
As Twilight approached the engine, she saw that Secret and Scootaloo were shoveling coal into the furnace. "Is that all?" Scootaloo asked, looking at Luna.
"Ay, that's all we need for a couple miles." Luna answered.
"I see you got it started." Twilight said, patting Secret on the back. "I think the others are just about done." She told them.
"Good." Secret stretched. "I think it's about time we get going."
Before anypony could say anything else, a loud scream interrupted them. Twilight and Luna galloped to the back of the train to see what all the commotion was about. Then, they saw it.
"Dragon!" Rainbow screamed, pointing in the distance. A giant zombie dragon was flying towards them at high speed. Twilight turned around and galloped to the front of the train. She grabbed the lever that started the train and pushed it forward, causing the train to slowly start moving.
Scootaloo looked at Twilight. "What's going on?!" She asked.
"Stay here!" She ordered, looking back towards the caboose.
Spitfire, Applejack, and Rainbow emptied their clips into the dragon, but to no avail. The dragon continued it's approach.
The train continued to gain speed, until it was going fast. The dragon flew behind it, getting close. Secret continued to shovel coal into the furnace to keep it going. The dragon bit at the back of the caboose, tearing part of it off. The ponies retreated inside of the caboose, but Spitfire fell over. She found herself rolling off of the train, only to catch onto the broken railing.
The dragon was right on her tail, and Spitfire was extremely frightened at this point. The was almost no way she could escape this alive. She held on tight as the dragon missed her tail by a hair-length when it bit at her.
As the dragon went to bite at her again, Applejack took a grenade out of her bag and pulled the pin. She threw it right into the dragon's mouth with no problem. The dragon closed it's mouth as it was quickly exploded from the inside. It fell limp onto the ground, dead. The train sped away quickly from it. Luna quickly grabbed Spitfire and pulled her onto the train. Spitfire collapsed on top of Luna, panting heavily.
"Thanks." Spitfire whispered, taking deep breaths.
