Prologue:The beginning of the end
April, 20, 2025- eventual day of apocalypse
It was a stormy day in equestria. Windows rattled and shook while little fillys and colts hid under their blankets waiting for the storm to pass.
However this did not stop the experimental research group 935 from experimenting and messing with dark and mysterious forces.
Not only was this group completely secret even to celestia herself but was also entirely led by none other than princess twilight sparkle.
Twilight was often fascinated by these dark secrets and often went a little too far in her quest for more and more knowledge.
In the past group 935 have been responsible for creating weapons for the massive and horrific war against the gryphon-changeling union.
these weapons were capable of causing strange destructive power, which they naturally called wonder weapons.
They also found a new element that measured 115 on the periodic table of elements they scientifically named ununpentium.
This element was an icy blue color and seemed to constantly radiate a strange form of radiation that caused anypony nearby to get very ill and loose control of their body every once in a while until they die of a violent explosion to the brain.
Twilight knew she had to test this out on a living subject, but she also knew she would get into a great deal of trouble.
So she had her special forces squad kidnap a prisoner changeling.
She then administered the injection of element 115. She theorized that direct contact to the bloodstream would increase the effects.
As the changeling was administered the syringe it started to writhe and scream in pain as the element took over.
Twilight couldn't help but smile as she did love to see a creature of any kind in pain.
The mare had really started to loose it after touching a strange stone that was brought in to be studied.
The changeling had now finished screaming and started to growl.
It's eyes turned orange and it's flesh had started to rapidly decay. It wasn't before long when the creatures forehead started to bulge as if there was something on the other side trying to break free.
It was then where twilight figured out what was going on. "Hit the deck." She screamed but it was already too late.
The changelings head blew apart in an explosion of brains, puss, and whatever else happen to be in the incredibly gory mess.
The unlucky members of 935 that where in the testing chamber when it happened were spending their time frantically cleaning themselves off while the ones who had opened their mouths in astonishment had to spit the goo out and constantly wash their mouths out.
Twilight showed no sympathy as she wrote down what she had witnessed.
So it was true, she thought. Our equine body structure cannot sustain the element 115 as it turns whoever is infected into a monster or zombie of some kind.
After thinking a bit she remembered what she saw at the dig site where they found the ununpentium.
They found it in a room full of engravings that must have been from a long extinct race.
One of the carvings pictured a strange creature with four legs but only standing on two of them and it was standing beside what looked to be possibly celestia's mother or an even older princess.
"that's it!" she exclaims out loud. She realized that these creatures had the perfect body structure to maintain the element 115 while lasting longer.
Also if they lived on an different planet celestia would happily fund twilight's plan of world domination because celestia would be more worried about the safety of her own people.
So over the next year of the Great War, twilight successfully got the permission and funding from celestia, and built a teleporter.
She had her team decode and translate the writing from the ancient artifacts until she found the universe and the planet that they were on.
"Listen every pony," she announced. "We have to travel to this universe and locate an object that is relatively close to this planet to build a facility on. Most likely this planet has a moon."
All of the special operations and scientist ponies nodded their heads as they knew it would further their research as well as help the solar empire with the war.
Twilight then sent some scouts that were fitted with experimental deep space suits to the biggest closest orbiting thing to this new planet.
They returned a few hours later. "Twilight", said the leader, "it is true, there is a moon, but it appears there is already a moon base there and looks like it's been abandoned."
After confirming it herself she returned and set a schedule for making repairs and additions to the abandoned moon base.
She found that it wouldn't take too long as she had acquired new staff when she made an agreement with celestia.
Celestia was surprised when twilight told her what kind of operation she had going on with group 935 and what they did, but understood it was all for the greater good of the war.
Celestia even let twilight be in charge of the new planet when it was captured, as twilight wasn't a princess of any amount of land yet.
It took a total of 5 months to fully repair and make some adjustments to the moon base. The purple mare was thankful that they didn't have to make a moon base from scratch as they would have probably lost the war by then.
She had her team build a room for the artifact that looked like a pyramid that was a bit bigger than the average pony.
When celestia heard that the base had been finished she sent her sister princess Luna to take a look as princess celestia had importing meetings with her head guards as to what to do in the war, which included twilight's brother.
"Hello Luna," twilight said happily, "I hope you enjoy this tour of the moon base."
Twilight showed her everything that she wouldn't mind celestia knowing about. She showed her the teleporter room, the control room, and even the artifact room.
Luna was really interested in all the artifacts and thought they looked nice.
"We would like to know what that large pyramid one is." Luna asked.
"That is the artifact that helped us find this planet." Twilight answered back
WAIT DONT TOUCH IT!! Twilight yelled in warning but it was already to late.
It had already been discovered that whoever touches it would be sent beyond madness. It would even cause them to try and open while screaming that they will control them all.
"Are you alright?" Asked the worried mare as the other princesses and her friends where the only ones she genuinely cared about.
"Yes I am fine." The princess of the night answered back. "In fact I have never felt better."
Twilight wasn't sure as Luna's tone in her voice had changed to what reminded her of nightmare moon.
Without warning Luna shot magic from her horn directly at the artifact. "What the HELL do you think you're doing Luna!" Yelled twilight.
"I'm taking control from hear. And it's nightmare moon."
The artifact had opened and a beam of light shot out. Nightmare moon flew into it and her eyes turned orange, almost red.
The artifact closed and the few members of group 935 that she had brought with her cowered in fear as they heard demonic laughing.
There weren't any speakers, it seemed that they were transmitted directly into their brains.
"Like I said twilight," the demonic voice said, "I'm taking control from here.
It was then when they heard the missile launch timer count down.
"Shit, she's going to launch a ton of 115 at this planet." She told her team.
As they watched the missiles launch they knew this planet would be dead soon, or at least full of the living dead.
While the other ponies watched twilight snuck into the teleporter room leaving them behind.
She then shut off the teleporter so nothing could get back.
"Team," she announced, "nightmare moon has returned and is going to somehow take over the planet we found."
There where worried murmurs in the room as twilight told them.
"Don't worry," she said, the rest of the elements of harmony and I will take care of this. You guys just focus on creating wonder weapons while I'm gone.
The others nodded knowing it was best not to question her judgement.
Later that day she met with her friends.
"Girls I have important news," she said, "nightmare moon has taken control of the planet we where going to capture and I need your help to take it back."
"That sounds dangerous." Fluttershy said. "Not only that," answered twilight, "but the planet will soon be overrun by zombies."
The other ponies looked in disbelief, but they knew that twilight would never lie to them.
"if we wait a while maybe we can find some survivors that will help us stop nightmare moon."
"Hang on there just a minute, said applejack , "yer tellin me that we've gotta trick those aliens so that we can take their planet?"
"We are fighting a war here applejack, it's either us or them."
Her friends nodded. As they knew that sacrifices had to be made in order for their survival.
"We will search and teleport a small group of survivors here in a few months." twilight said. "Until then we must plan what we will do and research more about this planet."
After a few months it was time to teleport the survivors. And had the survivors known what they would help the ponies do, they would rather have died along with the others in the apocalypse.
Author's Note
As you probably guessed this story is kinda based off of call of duty nazi zombies. Some knowledge of the nazi zombie story may be needed if you want to understand well enough, but you don't have to. I have rewritten this and it is much much better than the original. Let me know what you guys think in the comments. And spoiler alert. All my video game crossovers will be in a dimension where there is alternate dimensions. If you want to see what originally happened take a Look at my bio because the video is there, or you can watch this fan made video which is awesome so you can see what the original characters had to do.
Chapter 1: the apocalypse
Ever since those missiles containing element 115 hit the earth everything had been a literal living hell. The initial explosion caused anyone nearby to disintegrate immediately, but soon the areas around where the missiles hit started to cause perfectly healthy people to get sick, have fits of uncontrollability and eventually becoming a rotting walking corpse. Their eyes glowed dark blue yet were still fluorescent.
At first only a few thousand people were affected but the numbers soon grew quickly to the hundred thousands. After a few weeks of the apocalypse the numbers hit the million mark and kept growing.
However many zombies wandered the earth there were still plenty of survivors. But each survivor knew that one day they too would succumb to the sickness. All they could do was fight.
Strangely enough strange chalk drawings of weapons appeared which allowed anyone to receive the weapon drawn. Though they still costed them, but not with money. Some of the survivors found out that the more zombies they killed the more "points" they received which they could use to buy weapons. In addition to the drawings strange soda machines appeared which allowed the consumer to obtain certain powers. The cause or reason for these strange things were unknown but the survivors just thought of it as help to win the fight against the undead.
Little did they know that the very controller of the the zombies was about to play a sick twisted game, and they all were playing.
John Dempsey was just a normal teenager. Although many called him a prodigy ever since he was young he never thought highly of himself. He still knew however that he was extraordinarily good with mechanics and inventing. He learnt all that he knew from his father who strangely enough was a defense attorney that loved to tinker with parts of any kind of contraption he could find. How he ended up as a lawyer will always be a mystery.
His family on his fathers side may have been all lawyers but on his mothers side they all worked and took care of an old diner that had been with the family for at least fifty years. This was the first place John was able to get a summer job as it was owned by his family.
The morning of the apocalypse had been troublesome for John for his mother, father and brothers and sisters were in a car accident. He was devastated but at the same time he knew that if he just stood there and mourned the loss of his family he would surely become one with the walking corpses. So he boarded up the old diner and found every part he could find to come up with inventions that cold help keep the local zombie population down.
"I really miss my family." He said to himself one day, realizing that he hadn't thought about them much after the apocalypse had begun.
Later that day he went outside to fix the power grid for the electric fence and pretty much everything else it powered. He grumbled to himself as he fried the whole darn thing. "I will have to go into town and search everywhere for a new power grid," he thought to himself.
He had met a number of survivors when he went into town and they seemed quite nice but he hadn't received any radio signals from their radios so he assumed the worst.
Just as soon as he reached the town he realized his mistake as hundreds of dark blue eyes looked up at him. He bolted as fast as he could down the street. He dodged between the alleys and found himself trapped. He shut his eyes and prepared for his doom but instead of hearing his own screams and flesh being torn apart he heard a distinct horn of a bus.
Many angry growls were heard as sounds of guns firing made it clear that there were more survivors. He had just hoped they weren't looters. After the sounds of growls and machine gun fire died down he decided to risk it and get out of the alley.
As soon as he slowly walked out he could clearly see who saved him. His mouth dropped nearly hitting the ground as he realized who his rescuers were.
He couldn't believe his eyes, they were his friends from school."Ed, Sam, w-what are you guys doing here? I thought you were dead." Said a very startled John. "Nice to see you too." Said Ed. He was johns best friend from kindergarten all the way through tenth grade.
He was slightly smaller than John which is a reasonable height considering John was the tallest in his school. Ed had freckles red hair and was obsessed with certain types of science which no one knew because when Ed talks about science he usually makes no sense. Samantha or Sam as they called her was the captain of pretty much every sport in the school. Despite this fact she still hung out with the other two even though the rest of the school saw them as nerds or geeks.
Sam loved to play video games, in fact she was better that John and Jim combined and never let them hear the end of it. Even though she bragged a lot and was good at everything the two boys still liked to hang around her. She also had a crazy side to her, which was usually unlocked by having too much sugar.
"I sure am glad to see you," John said, "but I just want to know how you guys found me and how you guys escaped death." Before Jim could answer Sam blurted out the answers to john's questions. " we stuck with a survival group for most of the time until we found out that they were a bunch of psyco bandits that would do anything for their own survival even kill friends and family. " Ed decided to finish the rest of the story because Sam had run out of breath from saying the whole sentence in one go. " we stole their bus and tried to escape the undead but they were just too persistent. We almost got cornered if it wasn't for the fact that they were going for you. Once we knew for sure that there was a survivor we ran as quick as we could and saved you just in time." "How did you guys get those awesome weapons." Asked John. " you just walk up to a chalk drawing of a weapon like the one over there and pull out a weapon."Replied Sam. "no idea how it works....but it does."
John went over to a drawing and pulled out what it said to be an AK47-u. I can now fully protect myself from the undead, he thought. It wasn't long after that when they heard a voice that would surely give them nightmares for years to come. " I want to play a game." The voice said in a whisper. "let's play hide and seek. You can hide while I find you." The three friends looked at each other, clearly all in fear.
"I found you," said the voice "I win, you loose...your lives." There was demonic laughter as a swarm of hundreds of zombies moved in for the kill. Was this all just a sick twisted game? thought John.
Just that very moment a bright flash of light appeared. "Move to the light if you want to live." Said a new voice. "Why should we trust you?" Questioned Sam. "It's either teleport to safety or stay and become the undead's next meal." The voice said in return. They looked at each other and nodded. They moved into the light and for a moment everything flashed purple.
As soon as the nauseating teleportation process ended the three friends were left looking at six two dimensional looking creatures. "W-w-what are you?" Asked Ed who had somehow worked up enough courage. "I am princess twilight sparkle," said the closest creature to Jim. "And I need your help. Together we can save your earth from the zombies.
Author's Note
Hello everybody how you doin? Here is the first actual chapter of the story. The way I write has changed somehow, so if the prologue seems different than this chapter it's because I rewrote it from the original and I got too lazy to rewrite this one. But I really do need to write more chapters because apparently people like this story (I'm not going to complain XD ) anyway see ya on the next chapter.
