When Twilight & Applejack are called to Canterlot for an important meeting, the unicorn is worried about how her down-home friend is adjusting to the different society outside of the challenging meetings with Princess Luna, Celestia having gone to investigate a colony of ill ponies.
Celestia is put out of action, and soon zombie ponies are closing in upon the capital. With Luna still recovering from her internal battle with Nightmare Moon, Twilight, Applejack, and a secret society of high-class ladies are all that stands between undead equines...and Canterlot.

So this could have been a perfectly okay story about Applejack going to Canterlot. We've seen that the Canterlot high society looks down on Ponyville, and Applejack would be their very definition of "country bumpkin."
But instead, ZOMBIES.
I don't know, it's like you had something potentially good and then it just kind of got ridiculous.
As long as you're writing your zombie story, though, didn't Celestia go down a bit too easily? She just suddenly got eaten, without being able to put up any kind of a final struggle. The whole scene was too fast and lacked any dramatic impact.

I think having Applejack in Canterlot would be "Cutie Mark Chronicles 2.0", but I do think she's the best one to potentially fight or defend something.
Based on the purely mythological aspect of the world, yeah, zombies don't quite fit. But apparently they are *vague* canon, thanks to Pinkie. I guess I just suspend my belief further than most.
I understand your thoughts about the second chapter, though. I think I will have to revise that.
YOU BASTERD!!! How could you make celestia die. Why didnt you kill somepony like dimoned teara
