Chapter 52 - The Power Of Brainiac Pt: 3
”Rainbow Daaash, wakey wakey...”
“No Rainbow!, don’t listen to her!”
”Shut up, me. Besides, she can’t even hear you so why bother?”
“Leave her alone you meanie-”
“Mmmf...”
Ghost Pinkie’s words were cut off as the formerly unconscious pegasus starts to come to and lets out a muffled moan. Rainbow slowly begins to open her eyes and instantly notices, her.
“P... Pinkie Pie?... What’s going on?. Where am-”
[CLINK] [CLINK]
Rainbow attempts to move her body only for a series of restraints to rattle as a result. The pegasus’s eyes widen as she realizes her current predicament: She’s strapped to a table that’s leaned up against a stone wall. She also notices that the party pony is very different, her mane is deflated and her entire body has become darkened.
”Oh!, you’re finally up!. Good, that means we can get started. I have soo much fun planned for you, Rainbow. Perfect for my best friend ever.”
“No!, no!, no!, please don’t do It!”, Ghost Pinkie pleads as tears begins to form in her eyes as she has already seen what pinkamena has in store for the pegasus.
“Hey P-Pinkie, this isn’t funny... I’m actually kind of weirded out.”
”Oh Dashie, don’t you worry one bit. Wait here for a moment, I need to grab my tools. Not like you have much of a choice, right?”, Pinkamena then turns around and makes her way into a nearby room, ghost Pinkie following behind her.
As the two Pinkies take their leave, Rainbow seizes the opportunity to truly absorb her surroundings and what she finds... Absolutely frightens her. The skulls of various ponies are lined neatly on a nearby shelf, dried blood was present just below her very position, and there was even what appeared to be a large tapestry. However, the pegasus suddenly wanted to hurl as she realizes that this ‘Tapestry’, is in fact the stitched together remains of cutie marks... With the skin of the owners flanks still attached.
“Wh... What the buck?!”, Rainbow’s eyes are suddenly drawn to what sat on a table positioned just in front of her: A griffon’s skull with the word ‘Gilda’, carved into it. The more she observed, the more it became all too apparent. This was a living nightmare and unfortunately for Rainbow Dash, she wasn’t asleep.
In the nearby room, ghost Pinkie and Pinkamena are currently having a debate. The purpose of it is for one reason: Rainbow Dash’s fate.
”How many times do I have to tell you to shut up?!”
“Never!, If I have to haunt you until the end of time then fine!. You will not touch Dashie!”
”I already did touch her, moron. What you should be worried about is if I’ll kill her, which I am. Now shut up so I can concentrate and find my Celestia damned tools!”
“Oh!, talking will save Dashy?!, ok!.”, Ghost Pinkie clears her throat as she begins to sing a tune: “Na na na na na na na na na na...”
”Shut up!, shut up shut up shut up shut up!”
“Sorry!, trying to save Dashie!. Na na na na na na na na...”
”If you don’t shut your mouth I swear to Tartarus, I’ll just forget about the number system and kill everypony!”
“Too bad, soo sad, na na na na na na na na...”
”AAAAARRRRRRRGGGGGGHHHHH!”
As this is going on, Rainbow Dash can overhear Pinkamena’s various exclamations. She isn’t entirely sure how to react, in fact, were it not for her current situation it’d be enough to make her laugh.
“Give up you big meanie, I won’t stop until you leave Rainbow alone and set her free!.”
”You know what?, I’ve got a better idea. How about, I just eat Rainbow Dash whole!”
“What?!, you can’t do that!. You said it yourself, you need Rainbow for your cupcakes reme-”, Ghost Pinkie’s eyes were widened in horror and her words were cut off as pinkamena’s body undergoes a drastic change. Pinkie was confused for a moment when the killer pony returned to normal... Only to quickly morph into what could simply be described as an eldritch abomination or a pink demon.
”How about this, Pinkie?!. I even made sure to look like my original self, do you still think I can’t eat her now?!
“N-no... P-please...”
”I was going to turn Rainbow into a cupcake but I’ve changed my mind, I’ll make you watch as I devour her!”, The pink abomination turns around and runs back into the other room, towards the restrained Rainbow Dash. The pegasus screams in horror upon seeing this being run at her with its giant maw agape. ”Here I come, Rainbow!”
“No!”
”AWWWW-”, Rainbow Dash’s scream was instantly silenced as a sickening crunch is heard. Ghost Pinkie could only watch on with tears in her eyes as the abomination feeds on the cyan pegasus who was now nothing more than a gory mess. Most notably, Rainbow’s head was bitten clean off as her body twitches and spasms. All the while, the pink monstrosity continues to gorge on the rest of the pegasus’s body.
Ghost Pinkie was simply devastated, her mane deflated and her fur darkened. There was nothing she could do as she had to watch this take place before her very eyes. Anger starts to build up inside her as she screams out with tears flowing down her cheeks:
”I’ll bucking kill you!, I’d destroy you in a heartbeat!. You took my friend... You forced me to watch this happen... I hate this world!. You and it can both burn for all I care!”
-UNKNOWN UNIVERSE-
Applejack.
Applejack awoke in terror as she was immediately presented with a horrifying sight. Were it not for the fact that she was a ghost-like figure, she’d undoubtedly be joining those who were unfortunately being... Eaten. She wanted to hurl and puke her guts out as she watched zombified ponies kill and devour those who were still living. The orange earth pony took a quick glance around her as she realizes, this is Canterlot. The entire sky was darkened with a gray fog which prevented any hope of Celestia’s sun to shine upon this city of the dead. Buildings were in poor states as shattered glass and blood marks were on full display, most disturbingly, there were even ponies who had hanged themselves via a noose. Applejack could’ve sworn... She saw The Wonderbolts amongst them. Death, was simply everywhere.
“Wha... What in the pit of Tartarus is going on here?. Everypony is... Monsters, dead monsters and yet they ain’t dead at all. They’re just like those undead Vikings... Why is this happenin’?”, Suddenly, Applejack lets out a surprised gasp as she witnesses a new zombie who slowly limps around a corner which causes her to say: “Oh my garsh’... P-Princess Celestia?.”, This monstrosity was indeed the alicorn Princess Of The Sun but a decaying mockery of the once motherly, all loving, ruler of Equestria. “What is going on here?!, how could this happen to everypony?, to Celestia?. How did-”, Applejack cuts off her own words as a horrifying realization comes to mind. “Oh no... Everypony in Ponyville!, Sweet Apple Acres!, ah’... Ah’ got’ta get there now!”, With all her might, Applejack stampedes towards the exit/entrance to Canterlot while also ignoring the various carnage taking place all around her.
Even the outskirts of Canterlot were no different as corpses laid upon the lush planes of grass and judging by their placement, these were ponies who met their ends to the zombie apocalypse but weren’t turned in time as the undead fed on their flesh. Even so, Applejack was on a mission and if there was one thing she was grateful for in her body’s current condition, stamina wasn’t an issue.
Applejack’s eyes were shot wide in horror as she bares witness to the scene playing out before her. What was once Ponyville, a place of friendship and love, was now nothing more than a dark mockery of its former self. Buildings that were once lively and so bright as if they truly had their own life, was now nothing more than dead structures. It broke Applejack’s heart to see that among these buildings, both Sugarcube Corner and the Carousel Boutique were among them.
In a disturbing way, this was fitting due to the fact that the ponies of Ponyville were just as dead. Zombified ponies limped blindly throughout the small town, the conditions of these various ponies varied from each individual. Some zombies looked as if they were freshly turned while others had their bones already exposed due to decomposition.
“This is a bucking nightmare!”, Applejack exclaims as the cowmare makes her way through the undead. “Ah’ don’t like this one darn bit, this world just ain’t right. I can’t-”, The cowmare’s words were cut off and tears begins to stroll down her cheeks as she bares witness to the very last thing she ever wanted to see. There, limping awfully and groaning unemotionally was a large decaying red stallion: Big Mac. “No... No... No!, not you too Big Mac, by Celestia... No!. Not ma’ big brother too!”, Now that the cowmare takes a moment to look around, there were in fact many ponies that she recognized all around her. She could see The Cakes, Octavia, Vinyl, Miss Cheerilee, Bulk Biceps... Sweetie Belle. Stallions, mares, colts, fillies, all of the undead came in many different age ranges and sizes. Unfortunately, there were four ponies among the undead that shook the cowmare to her core: Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Twilight, and Fluttershy. “No!... Not all of ya’ too!, mah’ brother was already hard enough but y’all... I’m soo sorry... Everypony here... Ah’m soo sorry. Please, somepony... Save me from this-”
“There, attack the center of town!. Spells at full power and fire at will!.”
[BOOM] [BOOM] [BOOM]
The zombies were suddenly blasted by a barrage of attacks moments after those words echoes throughout the area. The ghostly earthpony was unharmed of course but all around her, she could hear the roars of the undead ponies as they were consumed by flames and disintegrated from the barrage of attacks. She even took her ghostly hat off in respect as she watched her zombified friends and Big Mac become consumed by the flames. After a few moments, the attacks stop and all that’s left behind are charred remains and various destroyed structures.
“Good shootin’ everybody, ah’ wish we could’ve gotten here sooner but we’ve got a job to do!. Fer’ Equus, for Big Mac, for ma’ sister!”
Applejack’s ears flickered towards that voice, a voice she couldn’t believe she was hearing. The ghost mare turns to its source only to see a large army comprised of many different species. Ponies, griffons, changelings, minotaurs, many different forms of life made up this army. There, standing on the back of a large green and purple dragon was a much older Apple Bloom. Sat upon her head was a certain hat, the same one that sits upon ghost Applejack. The cowmare smiles as she says:
“Apple Bloom... Ma’ baby sis, yer’ ok.”
“Thou hath done thy siblings proud, dear lover.”
Ghost Applejack’s mouth drops instantly as a certain Princess Of The Night lands next to Apple bloom and pecks her on the cheek. This causes the ghost mare to say:
“What the hay?!, Princess Luna and Apple Bloom?!”
“Aw shucks, it was nothin’ Lulu. Ah’ been wantin’ to purge Ponyville fer’ quite some time now but with the whole world dealin’ with this here virus... We never had the time...”
“Art thou going to be ok, my love?. We understand that Big Mac was amongst the undead we’ve just destroyed not to mention thy fellow crusader, Sweetie Bell. If... If thou needs some time-”
“It’s ok, sugar. That thing wasn’t Big Mac nor was any of those walking corpses anypony we knew and loved. It was just somethin’ that was left behind as they passed on. Ah’ know that Mac, granny, and ma’ sister are wait’n fer’ me on the other side.”, Apple Bloom then laughs as she says: “I bet Applejack’s gonna want her hat back.”, This causes Luna to laugh in response before she replies:
“We miss our dearest sister in law.”, Luna’s features then saddens as she says: “And, our beloved sister... I’m so sorry, Celly.”
“Now don’t you go blaming yerself fer’ that, Luna. Princess Celestia is the reason yer’ still here today, she’s the reason why ah’ got to fall in love with ya’.”, Apple Bloom grabs Luna’s right front hoof and raises it with her own. “Canterlot is next to be purged and if we run into her, we’ll handle it... Together.”, This causes Luna to smile as she replies:
“Yes my love, we art ready for when our sister’s rotten form stands before us. We also believe that Celly is waiting for us on the other side. When the time comes we shall destroy her unholy remains.”
Apple Bloom nods and then looks down towards the large dragon she stood upon, with a saddened expression, and asks:
“You ok big guy?, Twilight’s body was in that hoard too.”, A loud rumble vibrates from Spike’s body as he then sighs deeply and replies:
“I’m fine, Apple Bloom. I guess for me, Twilight died the day she jumped into Rainbow’s path when she tried to charge at me... When she tried to, eat me. Back then, Twilight asked me to burn her body... She knew that she was turning but I... I wasn’t strong enough to do it back then.”, Spike’s features narrows in determination as he says: “But now, I can at least ensure that everypony’s corpses gets a proper send off. Get back everyone!, I’m going to burn Ponyville to-”, Suddenly, an undead moan can be heard just in front of the large dragon, Applejack currently positioned right next to the drake. Ghost Applejack and Spike’s eyes were shot wide open as the moans are revealed to be coming from the undead Rarity and Twilight.
Fate was absolutely cruel for somehow the two zombified mares managed to survive the barrage from earlier and were currently making their way towards the army. Apple Bloom grits her teeth and exclaims:
“Ah’ got this Spike, ya’ don’t need ta’-”
“No, I’ve got this. Do me a favor, I need for you and Luna to get off my back for a second.”, The two mares simply nods understandably as they each gets off Spike’s large frame.

“Twilight... Rarity... I love you both. I’ll tell Pinkie Pie that I finally got to put your bodies to rest, I should also tell her that we took care of Mr and Mrs Cake. The Twins might not have their parents any more, but, Pinkie will be an amazing mother to them. Good bye Twilight, my mother... And Rarity, my love.”, Spike rears back, takes in a large breath of air, and then lowers himself forward as he emits a large surge of flames. These flames not only consumes his zombified loved ones but also the entire portion of the town in front of him.
Ghost Applejack was still in tears as she watches on with her hat lowered as a sign of respect.
“Rest in peace ma’ friends, y’all didn’t deserve this fate, nopony deserves any of this. Ah’m glad that Apple Bloom is still alive and managed to find love but... Ah’ hate this world. I need to find a way out.”

Heheh... Too close to the truth, buddy. Watch your back...
10602450
...... Your a monster.... I don’t even care about being first right now.
10602480
Heheheheheh... Thanks for the compliment.
10602487
I don’t think you’re a monster more like an entity that take over when its needed most in this fic, especially when it’s to KILL, if pinkie has already accepted that this is a kill or be killed or corrupted world then your someone that will protect her no matter what
Applejack appearing in a zombie apocalypse version of equestria had me crying.
I don't even know what to think about the other chapters.
10602508
Thank you very much for that! 😁. It lets me know that my writing can pierce people right into the feels.
Yeah, I don’t really see many MLP zombie fics and the ones that I do find and enjoy, haven’t been updated for years. There was one that I read that focused on Spike, which was very enjoyable.

10602504
Damn straight. Though I think they were referring to my less-than-tasteful past.
Heh. I’d say that Rainbow’s fate was better than in the original, at least it was quick.
LunaBloom. Okay, that’s probably the first time I see this ship.

Derpy's eyes seems to give her a natural cloak in a zombie apocalypse.
yeah, I've never seen this ship before either. It's usually Big Mac or Applejack who's paired up with Luna. Never have I seen Apple Bloom and Luna ever come together although I suspect that it's due to her normal age that most fics portrays her in. I figured I'd just age her up and bam, a love interest for Luna in this twisted world.

Yeah… Brainiac is pretty messed up.
Was the zombie apocalypse story inspired by a real fanfic?

Oh, no. I made that one up. But if there is one, I had absolutely no idea.
