Dangerous Denizens
To Rarity—
Saying goodbye is hard through a mouthful of tears, not all of them mine.
The gloomy mists continued to pervade Ponyville, shrouding the entire place in an eternal dusk. Many of the buildings were still intact, but some had fallen to decay and ruin. This was due to most ponies being too busy getting chased by zombies for them to bother with refurbishing the houses and shops that comprised of Ponyville.
In the husk of what was once a sofa and quill store, three ponies sat around a fire. A black, agile looking pegasus; a brown, twitchy earth pony; and a blue unicorn. The first two were male, and the remaining one was a female. They were all unwashed, battered, and tired from the day.
“Didn’t this used to be your place, Davenport?” asked the pegasus.
The brown stallion dropped a plank on the fire. “Yeah, it was. Figured I might as well set up camp here with you two since it was a place I knew.”
“Well, thanks for letting us camp with you here,” the unicorn told Davenport, thankful. “So you and Thunderlane were trying to reach Canterlot before you found me?”
“Yeah,” Thunderlane said, with a tone of resentment. “But they blocked off the train tracks up the mountain, and I think they’ve got some sort of force field anyway. Plus, even if I just flew up there, I would have had to leave Davenport behind.”
Davenport smiled. “Hey, I wouldn’t leave you behind anywhere either.”
The unicorn smiled. “You seem like you two would do a lot for each other.”
“Yeah,” Thunderlane said, looking at his friend. “We weren’t really friends before this whole thing, but since then we’ve really looked out for each other.”
Davenport laughed. “Yeah, we’ve become fast friends. Say, didn’t think I caught your name,” he said, turning to the unicorn.
“Oh, it’s Colgate. I was the dentist,” she told them. “I used to live with Time Turner, did you know him?”
Thunderlane shook his head, but Davenport said “Yeah, I think I did know him. He came into my shop quite a bit. He was a good stallion.”
Colgate looked somewhat sorrowful. “Yeah... yeah, he was.”
“Did the sickness get him?” Davenport asked sympathetically.
“No, somepony set fire to our house right after everything started falling apart,” Colgate said. “Right after that other shop was lit on fire. And, well, he didn’t... he didn’t make it out.”
Thunderlane and Davenport exchanged glances, then scooted closer to Colgate. The stallions beckoned for a hug, and the unicorn gave them a suspicious look. “Come on, it’ll make you feel better,” Thunderlane said, smiling. Colgate shrugged, and was pulled into a hug by the two stallions. They were right, it did make her feel better, and warmer than the fire ever could make her feel.
“So, where did you guys go once everything started falling apart?” Colgate asked as Thunderlane snuggled his head into the crook of her neck.
Davenport cleared his throat and answered. “Well, we met at the train station after the last train left, and together we left for Canterlot. As we said before, it was already blocked off from anypony entering, so we headed back down here and hid out in a deserted house until we found you while out gathering food. Time we got back... well, you saw how it collapsed in on itself. So, we came here.”
Colgate giggled a sort of half. “Glad you did, I was still glad I hadn’t been attacked...”
The two stallions looked at each other, still embracing Colgate. “Well, I suppose it was only a matter of time,” Thunderlane said with a sigh.
Davenport nodded. “Yup, figured it would take just as long. Now that she’s onto us...”
Colgate had an expression of utter confusion on her features. “Figured you out? What are you two talking about?”
Thunderlane chortled horsely. “Oh, come on. No use in lying to us now, we know that you know.”
“Know wh—MMMF!” Colgate started to say, but was soon cut off by Thunderlane pulling her into a kiss. He forced his tongue into her mouth roughly, running his hooves across her back while Davenport nipped at her neck.
“W-what are you doing?” she asked, pulling away from Thunderlane for a moment before Davenport jumped in for a kiss.
“Well, we knew you figured about about our little operation, so we’ve got to take care of you now,” Thunderlane explained, rubbing his hooves down further.
“What operation?” Colgate stammered as the vile stallions continued to work her over. Davenport took a lick across the side of her cheek, and she blushed. This was not something she felt comfortable with happening...
Thunderlane smiled. “Why, we take mares into our... ‘custody’ and, how shall we say, we ‘deal’ with them.”
Thunderlane shoved Colgate to the the floor of the ruined shop, and held her upper left leg down while forcing her head to the ground with his hoof pressed firmly on her horn. Colgate, while a unicorn, wasn’t very good with magic other than to levitate things, but the stallions didn’t know that. They assumed that she could attack back with magic like the other two unicorns they had dealt with.
Davenport held down the thrashing unicorn by sitting on her legs, and essentially lying down over her so he could hold her down completely. Thunderlane leaned down to her ear, and whispered. “We’re going to take turns, raping you, and then we’ll beat your brains out with a plank of wood, just like we did the others.”
Colgate’s heart nearly stopped. She was so terrified, that the stallions needn’t have held her down for her to be immobile. So it was a miracle when the unicorn heard the growling of the monsters that she had come to deal with.
“What the hell is that?” Thunderlane asked. Davenport shook his head, paused in his act of defiling. The growling grew louder, and there was a crash as a group of around six rotting corpses of varying ages stumbled into the remains of the building. The group was lead by a purple maned, surprisingly clean mare zombie. She walked with more grace than expected; where as the other corpses were mostly slow and stumbling, she as somewhat quick, galloping and moving fluidly where the others failed.
“Wait, are those zombies?” Davenport asked, his tone a mixture of horror and amazement.
“Y-you didn’t know that the dead were walking around?” Colgate asked in surprise. Both Thunderlane and Davenport shook their heads. Colgate just stared at the would-be rapists is awe. The zombies, however, had little time for this.
The corpses advanced on the three quickly, showing their bloodstained and rotting teeth. The two stallions tried to roll off of Colgate and scramble away, but the white zombie was far too fast. Her mouth clamped on Thunderlane’s left wing just as fast as the pegasus flared them open in an attempt to fly away. He screamed in agony as the former pony yanked him towards her, the bone snapping. He fell on his back, looking up the white zombie’s frontside. The undead mare lifted a hoof, and before Thunderlane could even scream, was silenced forever with a skull-splitting crack.
Davenport faired no better. He had tried to escape by running towards the lowest part of the crumbled wall, but the other five zombies had cornered him. Screaming one last time before they defended on him, he was made short work of.
Colgate lay trembling on the floor, and found to her dismay that she had wet herself. None of the zombies seemed to be going after her, however. Perhaps they were occupied with the others? Now was her chance to get away while they were distracted.
The purple-maned zombie looked at her bloodstained hoof, and held it out. From the group of zombies chowing down on Davenport came a small little filly zombie with a purple mane and a soft raspberry coat, happily running over to the lead zombie. She began to clean the blood from the hoof of the mare with her little tongue, lapping it like she had once done to a lollipop when she was still alive.
Colgate looked harder at the filly. Was that... what that Berry Punch’s kid? Berry Pinch? Colgate felt herself go ill looking at the zombie of her friend’s child.
The oddest thing about the hoof cleaning was that it didn’t seem to be anything demeaning, such as how a royal would demand a “lesser” pony to lick his shoes. No, it seemed nurturing, almost motherly...
Once the blood was gone from the hoof, the mare took a small piece of wood in her mouth, and opened the skull wide enough for her muzzle to fit in. Slowly, she bent down and daintily took a bit of the mushy brain inside. Colgate watched, transfixed in amazement as the zombie ate away fair more mannerly than she had even seen most ponies eat. When she popped back up, looking far less hungry than she had going into the meal, the little filly cleaned the blood from her mouth eagerly.
The zombie turned to Colgate, and the unicorn heard her heart pound in her ears. There was a cunning, somewhat intelligent look in the empty eye sockets of unliving mare. To her utmost surprise, the zombie opened her mouth, and said in a hoarse, yet distinctly ladylike voice, “You may leave now.”
Colgate got to her hooves, and shakily walked away. None of the zombies tried to go after her. Taking one look back, she could see that the mare was indeed rather nice-looking for something that she assumed had been long dead.
Colgate left the ruins of the building, silently thanking the beautiful corpse.

Wtf....
I like where this is going
Is this going to be like Warm Bodies or something?
2938196 maybe
2938203 won't lie, that's one of my favorite movies of all time. I aim to be... darker. But there's definitely that influence there.
Adrenaline rush. Well done, Regidar, well done.
2938228 And by that you mean instead of getting R and his necrophillatic relationship, we get R-arity and her helpful horde of horses.
2938570 pretty much, yeah. Very little romance here.
2938590 Just read your interview, very thoughtful.
I especially liked the shut the hell up about the show part.
On to the story, will we ever find out how Rarity died?
2938598 we might, could be a plotpoint later in the story.
2938750 Okay, I'll go back to not sleeping now.
2938750
I'm listening to Bat Country while I read this. Heh. It fits, in a way. I like where this is going.
Well after reading this and seeing the comments that say this was based off of warm bodies I have to ask... will we get a scene like this?
2939627Not based, rather... influenced by. Mostly with how zombie intelligence works. If I wanted to base it off of Warm Bodies, I would have done a Warm Bodies crossover.
2939976 But we will get a scene like that one right? Like say when she meets her friends again.
2939979 Quite possibly.
2940013 Just remember.... Don't be creepy, don't be creepy, don't be creepy.
2933991
Forgive me for not believing an uncited, unedited scrap of crap. Here is its equivalent, just in case you don't believe my citations. That answer is wrong in several ways. First of all, while it doesn't do much good for their digestion, horses have been shown to eat meat and even kill for it; and cases can be shown far and wide. Secondly, while the first part of that answer was forgivable, as they are nutritively herbivores, though not behaviorally, the second part is plainly wrong and misleading. Horses have incisors. Please do real research before coming to conclusions.
2941587 Either way works for my story, your info just makes it so much easier.
We need a theme song now.
"Zom-bie vigi-lante..."
uh... doo-doo-dee-doo...
Crap, how do you write notes in the comments section?
Still, I can totally see a Zombie Vigilante story coming out of this whole thing.
EDIT:
Oh, yeah, remember to read the song thing in Boomstick's voice, from Death Battle.
2941808 lol, if you write the song I'll sing it.
2944475
Damnit, I'm a sucky songwriter.
I'll post something me and my friends come up with soon. I'm not particularly musical, but some of my friends are.
2946516 I look forward to it
2946526
[The Music]
"Zom-bie Vig-a-lante,
Eating brains for justice,
Beating the bad guys
and eating their brains, too
Om nom nomma-nom nom a nomma nom
nom nom nom nom-a-noooom"
*devolves into a mixture of girly screams and crunching noises*
*silence*
"Where was I? Oh, right.
Zom-bie Vig-a-lante,
eat-ing brains for justice,
doo-dee-doo de-doo..."
*trails off into incoherent mumbling as Zombie Vigilante shuffles off into the night*
Okay, I may suck at music, but I tried. If you find anyone to refine it, feel free to.
Or, sing it as is. Either way.
Anyhow, can't wait for the next chapter!
Well, I can't, but I don't want to.
well this suddenly took a dark turn eh darker turn
this is quite the unique fic actually lol good job
Yessss...moar of this...also, more of "Where Do Bad Foals Go When They Die?" Please.
2966243 Working on it.
Whoa
Here's a song and my lyrics
Theme - The One by Elena Siegman
Lyrics
From my grave do I arise
I've empty holes in place of eyes
My decaying stomach now desires
The taste of pony skin
.
Limp along the old worn path
To Ponyville, now a bloodbath
The stench of death now fills the air
And I sense dead ponies everywhere
(Chorus)
I once was living, but then died
And revived, the cause unknown (cause unknown)
I hunt the living, I joined the dead
To spread fear and dread, in the town I once called home (called home)
I'm the beautiful corpse.
So? What do you think? Yes I know, its crap...
2986709 That's brilliant!
2986828
Somepony make a song with these lyrics! I could write more if you want. I do a little poetry and song writing in my spare time, aswell as Deviantart drawings (hand drawn. I'm terrible making digital art LOL) and making random YouTube videos.
2986969 I wouldn't mind more lyrics, and I know someone who is very good at making music, so this could easily be turned into a real thing.
2987048
I'll work on some better lyrics and post them later. You have a youtube channel? If you were to sing them you should do a video on youtube and put a link in your description directing peoe to this story.
2988727 yeah, I do, which will probably happen.
2989832
Okay. Using the same theme, here are some new lyrics for ya!
THE BEAUTIFUL CORPSE (Singing to the theme of The One by Elena Siegman)
From the grave do I arise,
I've empty holes in place of eyes,
Driven by my hungry pains,
I seek to feast on pony brains.
For a pony's flesh, I lust,
Satisfy my hunger, I must,
I limp along the old worn path,
to Ponyville, it's now a bloodbath.
My mind deteriorates, it seems,
No more will I ever dream,
My prey is hiding here, somewhere,
But I can't find him anywhere
(Chorus)
I once was living, but then died
And revived, for reason that remain unknown (remain unknown)
To hunt the living, I joined the dead
To spread fear and dread, in the town I once called my home (called my home)
Once this town was alive and well,
Now it's become a living hell,
For those ponies who have survived,
A playground for the dead revived.
Though I cannot see, I sense,
Another decaying pony's presence,
They all hunger as I do,
On the living, we shall chew.
The stench of death now fills the air,
I sense dead ponies here and there,,
They've lost their souls, they lack emotion,
To rotting stomachs, they pledge devotion.
In the streets, I find my prey,
My hunger will be sated today,
Screams and groans both fill the air,
And now I hear it everywhere
(Chorus)
I once was living, but then died
And revived, for reason that remain unknown (remain unknown)
To hunt the living, I joined the dead
To spread fear and dread, in the town I once called my home (called my home)
The infection starts to spread,
Ponyville belongs to the dead,
The living savour their final breath,
Then succumb to eternal death.
No longer feel the warmth of the sun,
My feeding frenzy has just begun,
My diamond mark, my purple hair,
All fear the beautiful undead mare.
(Chorus)
I once was living, but then died
And revived, for reason that remain unknown (remain unknown)
To hunt the living, I joined the dead
To spread fear and dread, in the town I once called my home (called my home)
I'm the Beautiful Corpse
2991647 Fukken beautiful!
2996972
Excuse me for just a second...
(Leaves laptop and makes a SQUEE! sound)
Okay I'm back. Please let me know if you actually do a song video for your story.
You can contact me on YouTube. It's UniqueSKD, and I do random shit videos. LOL.
I am currently trying some Stop-motion animation videos using my old Bionicle sets, so if those get decent views I'll probably start a series of funny short-length clips.
Cheefs for liking the lyrics! What? I mis-spelt 'cheers'?
I just don't know what went wrong there...
And now we get to the chapter that REALLY has me excited, just... everything about this chapter is how i'd like a Zombie-protagonsit story to go.. at-least ATTEMPTING to only target bad ponies, whenever possible.
3027060 This is going to become a major plotpoint in further chapters, so hold on to your seat.
3028066 consider my seat grappled.
Reggi, I didn't know you had the mental capacity to write something this awesome.
3069156 my mommy says I'm special.
3069423 Twist
: I AM YOUR MOMMY

3124466 it's still the summer technically
also I am lazy as fuck
I have a few paragraphs written of the next chapter but...
3126729 today is august 30th. it's been fall for a while now.
3129501 it is autumn on the 21st of september
3131813 let's just agree to disagree
3148246 why we would agree to disagree when I am right?
3148550 that would make sense, if you were right....
