I quickly found my way out and tried my best to raise the sun. If I had learnt anything from Manecraft, it's that Zambies burn in the sun. Well, and that video games have a surprising amount of their content based on truth. I kind of guessed how to raise the sun. It's basically a glorified levitation spell. So, to the best of my ability, I attempted to raise the sun. I was successful, thank Me. However, I was shocked to find the still frothing Vanity run out to the balcony were I was and NOT burst into flames. She tried to attack me, but I shot a blast of very powerful magic and she went tumbling over the side. This didn't kill her, but it didn't kill me either so it was okay for the time being. I knew I had to get a hang of my wings so I could fly before the other Zambies caught up with me, so I started flapping. I furiously moved my wings until I got myself almost an entire meter off the ground. I continued flapping them, the rush of whistling madly. I slowly began edging away from the balcony, flapping my wings harder and harder the more I left it. Soon I was careening around Canterlot with my brand spanking new wings, and I started to soar. Suddenly, Stutterfly The Zambie came shooting through the air faster than ever at me, probably with the same intentions as Vanity. I zipped out of the way just in time, but Stutterfly made a sharp turn towards round two. I dodged again, but then I remembered I had magic, and shot her out of the sky with my horn. She fell to the ground, wingbones shattered, but still miraculously up and walking in seconds. They started rampaging around aimlessly and I saw all the ponies of Canterlot leaving their homes in a daze, confused as to why the sun had risen so early. (My plan to burn the Zambies failed. I returned to the balcony hastily and showed off my wings and horn as they all looked towards me.
"Ladies and Gentlecock, I mean, Gentlecolts. I, Twilit Spargle, am your new Queen. I've got the wings and the horn, and Kelestia and Luny have nothing. They will be attacked by Zambies soon, and I will be soul ruler! Well, I practically already am. I am in God form already, see?" I boasted, gently flapping my enormous wings. I remembered that I had forgotten to make my body bigger, and I looked rather weird and disproportionate, so I said
"One second," and ran back to Kelestia and Luny. I did the homemade spell again, and this time I grew twice their size and they both slowly became teenage-sized earth ponies, pretty much the opposite of a Me. I relished their utter uselessness. Well, I suppose that Luny had always been pretty useless anyway, but still.
"Alright, I'm back." I said, returning to the balcony. But when I looked down at my subjects, they were all screaming and running away from a horde of newly created Zambies.
***
These Zambies were clearly products of one of my friends biting an uninfected individual, and getting a bit carried away with it. I had my fun, playing princess, but now I had to get out of there as fast as possible. I went soaring off into the unknown, leaving my subjects to fend for themselves.
They can handle okay by themselves. They need to grow a pair anyway. I thought, smirking. I teleported myself swiftly to some random co-ordinates. I ended up in practically the middle of nowhere, in a thick mass of trees with hanging vines.
"Not exactly my idea of a palace, but as long as it keeps me safe from the Zambies." I said to myself, curling up to get some sleep. It was a good way away from Canterlot, so I would be safe from the Zambies for sure. The low hanging vines were all thorny and horrible, and pretty much no place for a pony princess. And so after a while I teleported swiftly out of the jungle and into...more jungle. I teleported again. More jungle. I teleported again. More jung--
"Rainbow Basher?" I exclaimed immediately after crashing into her. It was the very brink of the jungle we were in. I could actually see Canterlot from here.
"Eyup!" she said groggily, holding her head with one hoof and using the other to balance herself.
"Don't say that word ever again," I said disdainfully. "If you overuse it it get's REALLY annoying. Trust me."
"Well excuuuuuse me, Princess!" Rainbow said. I chuckled a bit, then asked
"Um, how did you escape the Zambies?"
"The what?" she asked stupidly, teetering a bit.
"The Zambies. You know. Those things that our friends became?"
"Oh, those. Look Twilit, I'm a very capable gal. I'm not some queero who can't fly two inches off the goddamn ground." Rainbow explained, smirking arrogantly. "Unlike that little gaywad Stutterfly." I grimaced at her derogatory language, but I'd already learned enough about Rainbow Basher that you just do not launch into a religious debate with her.
"So, partners?" I asked, holding out my hoof.
"No way! I'm not your partner!"
"I meant partners as in companions, compadres, buddies, friends, you know?"
"Oh. Well then, sure!" Rainbow said, spitting into her hoof and slapping it against mine. Grossed out, I discreetly wiped the saliva-covered hoof on the ground and smiled. Rainbow began talking nonsensically in her southern slang, banging on about how her plans to ruin the gay pride rally were totally ruined, but all I could think of was how happy I was to have a partner in the apocalypse that was nigh. She may not have exactly fulfil all the positions on my Zambie apocalypse team, but she was brawn and I was brains, and that was perfect for me.
