Chapter 10: Unexpected
Morning, campsite.
Film Maker is sitting on top of the RV with Fluttershy sleeping on his chest. Night Striker is sitting on a bench right next to the RV while cleaning his hidden blade with a white rag. Saints was sitting across from Night Striker. He had Vinyl with him while sharing a pair of headphones with her. She had the left side and he had the right side. Twilight was sitting next to Night Striker while reading a book. Pinkie Pie and Spike was playing with all the fillies. Rainbow Dash was flying above the camp. Making sure that there were no walkers on their way towards the campsite. Rarity was sitting down with Applejack in front of Applejack's tent. Derpy walked out of her tent and headed towards the bench to sit down.
Night Striker noticed Derpy walking over towards the bench and welcomed Derpy with a friendly smile. "Morning Derpy, sleep well?" Night asked.
"I slept 'okay'. Haven't really gotten much sleep last night." Derpy replied.
"Do you want any sleeping methods?"
"I don't think that'll be necessary. Maybe some other time."
Night nodded and continued cleaning his blade. Taking pride for every shine that appeared. Derpy sat down next to Saints and Vinyl. They seemed too distracted with their music to notice Derpy sitting down.
A quiet yawn escaped Fluttershy's mouth and she slowly began to rub her eyes. Film smiled and started to stroke her mane. A shade of pink appeared on Fluttershy's cheeks. Film kissed the top of her head. "Good morning 'Shy." Film whispered into her ear.
"Good morning." Fluttershy rubbed her muzzle into his chest. Trying to get as close as possible. Film wrapped his wings around her.
"Sleep well?"
"Definitely. What about you?"
"I slept well." Fluttershy looked up into Film's blue eyes. "What about you?"
Film gave Fluttershy a little passionate peck on her lips and smiled. "I don't sleep much but I actually got some good rest last night. Thanks to you."
Sugar Rush walked out of the RV and walked up to the bench that stood right next to the RV. A smile spread across his face. "Good morning everypony!" He yelled.
"Quiet!" Night Striker blurted out. "Remember, we have to avoid walkers not attract more."
"Sorry."
Shadowblaze walked out of the RV and stretched his wings. He looked over to Night Striker who is still shining his blade. "Mornin' guys."
Derpy turned around and saw Shadowblaze trotting up to the bench. "Good morning Shadowblaze. Sleep well?" Derpy asked.
"Like a foal. I think its the best sleep I've gotten in a long time." Shadowblaze replied.
Rainbow Dash landed herself next to Derpy and gave her a quick kiss on the lips. "Morning Derpy."
"Good morning Dashie." Derpy giggled.
Night drew his attention away from his blade and towards Rainbow Dash. "Anything?" Night asked.
"Just a few walkers about a couple miles away but nothing else." Dash replied.
"Good." Night looked at Saints and Vinyl who were still listening to their music. "Derpy, would you mind pulling off their headphones?"
Derpy nodded and pulled down the headphones to wrap around both Saints and Vinyl's neck. Both unicorns looked at Derpy. Derpy pointed her hoof at Night and both unicorns drew their attention towards the pegasus.
"I'm going to need you two to get the guns from the RV. I wanna make sure that we start patrol in the next thirty minutes."
Vinyl and Saints nodded. Both unicorns got up from the bench and went inside the RV.
"You know what sounds good right now?" Sugar Rush asked.
Shadowblaze looked at Sugar Rush and raised his brow. "What would that be?"
"Some breakfast." Sugar Rush licked his lips. "My stomach is on empty and I need so-"
*bang*
Sugar Rush dropped dead onto the ground. A bullet went straight into his head. Everypony watched Sugar Rush hit the floor with a loud thud. Night Striker turned around and saw six ponies with semi-automatic rifles galloping towards them. Night took immediate action.
"Everpony get in the RV! Vinyl, Saints, get the fucking guns out here NOW!" Night yelled.
Film and Fluttershy hopped off of the top of the RV and went straight inside the RV. Pinkie Pie got all the foals inside. Derpy, Rainbow Dash, Twilight, Rarity, Applejack, and Spike ran inside the RV. The RV was starting to get packed. Night flipped the bench and took cover from the armed ponies. Film came back out with his hunter rifle and took immediate cover next to Night. Saints came out with an AK and did the sane as Film. Shadowblaze dropped to his knees next to his dead brother. "Sugar?" He whispered.
"Shadowblaze get behind cover before they get here!" Film yelled. Film looked back at the six ponies and saw then aiming their rifles right at Shadowblaze. He quickly reacted by grabbing Shadowblaze's tail and pulling him behind cover with his mouth. "Shadowblaze get in the RV!"
Shadowblaze looked at Film and back at the RV. Vinyl was holding the door open and signaling Shadowblaze to come inside. Shadowblaze looked back at Film. "No." Shadowblaze said.
Film Maker looked at Vinyl and yelled, "Get him a gun!"
Vinyl quickly disappeared and reappeared in a second. She tossed Shadowblaze a revolver and Shadowblaze caught the gun in mid-air with his wing.
"Fire!" One of the six ponies yelled.
Bullets were hitting the RV, the dirt, the bench, and shredding the multiple tents at the campsite. Some bullets hit Sugar Rush's dead body and blood was splattering everywhere. Film Maker, Shadowblaze, and Saints started shooting back at the six ponies (without peeking over the edges). Suddenly, the door to the RV opened up and Spike came running out with a fully-automatic rifle in his hands. "I wanna he-" He yelled before being torn to shreds. The gun that was in his hands, flew straight over towards the bench. His right arm was detached from his body within three seconds.
"No!" A cry came from inside the RV. The RV door closed by itself with a loud thud.
Nopony can come out. That means we have to deal with then ourselves. Night thought. Night picked up the gun that was a few inches away from the barrier and started shooting back st the six ponies.
After about ten minutes of non-stop shooting, Night Striker told Saints, Film Maker, and Shadowblaze to stop shooting. "This isn't working." Night said.
"Your right." Film said. "But what are we supposed to do?"
"I got it." Shadowblaze said. All stallions drew their attention towards Shadowblaze. "If we can somehow get their attention away from the bench, we can shoot the ponies while they are distracted by the bait."
"That's too risky." Saints said. "Besides, who would be stupid enough to go running out there in the middle of this shit?"
"I was mainly talking about myself."
"You'll be killed!" Film yelled.
"But it'll be worth the sacrifice. For you guys." Shadowblaze smiled. "Nice seeing you guys again."
Film Maker held out his hoof and Shadowblaze bumped it with his. "I'll see you late Shadow."
"See ya' soon."
Shadowblaze started running away from the bench. Bullets were being directed towards him. The first bullet hit him in his left foreleg and right wing. Than the bullets started to shred the wing right off of his body. His right foreleg started to show his bones and his body fell with a loud thud. Film Maker, Night Striker, and Saints stood up and started spraying their bullets towards the six ponies. Their cries were loud but the sound of gun fire was louder.
Once all the bodies of the six ponies fell to the floor, Film Maker, Saints, and Night Striker immediately stopped shooting and started trotting up to their dead bodies. One of the six started to crawl away from them. But Night Striker pulled out his hidden blade (which was strapped to his right hoof) and stabbed the pony straight into the neck. Blood spattered on Night's face. But he didn't flinch. He only stared at the pony he just killed and enjoyed it. Blood started spilling out of the punctured wound that Night has caused. He slowly pulled his blade of the neck and stared at the blood that stained his blade.
"I gotta fucking clean it again." Night grumbled.
"Your blade. Is that really what you think matters right now?" Saints started raising his voice. "We were just attacked Night! And right now....you care about that fucking blade of yours!"
"I know!" Night blurted out. Saints quickly hushed himself. Night turned around to face Saints. "I know what just happened. I'm not stupid. Nor am I blind."
"Help me!" A voice called.
Night and Saints didn't pay attention to the cry for help. They were still staring at each other. "I got it guys." Film said.
Film looked at the RV and saw Rarity walking out of the RV. Her white coat was stained with blood. Her eyes were as wide as a pony hyped up on meth.
"Oh my Celestia." Film galloped up to Rarity. "What happened?" Film asked.
"B-Bullets went....through the RV a-and started to k-kill some of the f-foals. They.....they....they." Without warning, Rarity fell down right in front of Film Maker. Revealing blood pouring out of the back of her shoulder blades.
"Saints, Night, get the fuck over here and help me!" Film yelled.
Night Striker and Saints ran straight towards Film. Night knelt down next to Rarity and put his hoof on her neck. Night closed his eyes and re-opened them. He slowly shook his head.
Film looked down at Rarity and started to realize what she was talking about. "Oh shit." He whispered. He looked over at the RV and started galloping towards it. "OH SHIT!" he yelled.
