Ponies crowded the streets of Canterlot in a vast riot charging the palace gate being protected by royal guards, the citizens of Equestria were in outrage for the previous actions of the Equestrian Military for declaring Martial Law. Unicorns ued their magic to throw various objects at the guards protecting the gates while Earth Ponies kicked at the guards and the gate hoping to bring damage but with no avail as the stronger and armored royal guards merely kicked and pushed them away.

"WE WANT CELESTIA AND LUNA TO FIX THIS FUCKING MESS!" Some screamed and cursed at the guards as Pegasus guards began to fly in as well to help herd the crowd away from the palace. But suddenly thing went south very quickly, the bulk of the crowd suddenly pushed harder than anytime before, smashing the guards against the gate and walls and climbing overtop of each other. Screams could be heard through the crowd as many were trmapled in the panic of something that had encouraged them to push harder than before.

There they were, the infected, mindless ponies charging down the street at the crowd of ponies trying to climb the walls and gate of the palace were coming and were attacking the crowd as ponies poured over the wall and into the huge plaza of the palaca trying to run to the building but being shot down on sight by the Royal Guards. those left outside were being tackled and bitten, chewed up or torn apart by the Zombie ponies were trying to sway off their attackers and climb over the walls, though it was evident they would not survive. Parents of children tried throwing their kids over the walls hoping they would be safer inside with the princesses as they were brutally bitten and ripped right infront of their own kids. Their cries of agony and fear could be heard from everywhere as they infection spread through relentlessly through Canterlot, not discriminating between it's victims.

**AT CLOUDSDAYLE**

The situation was bad. More than half of the population of the entire floating city had become infected, and nothing was worse than flying zombies. Cloudsdayle guards tried to quell the outbreak and had prevented it's spread for a short time, until infected Pegasi had been making their way to the floating city.

When the outbreak came to the city, it was impossible to stop it. Infected Pegasi flew frantically chasing after ones who had not been infected yet, ganging up on them from all directions. And in less than two hours, Cloudsdayle's surviving, non infected population ceased to exist. Creating a new breed of flying, corpses that would cause hell upon the land below for decades to come.

**AT THE CRYSTAL KINGDOM**

Screams could be heard all around as fires raged and ponies panicked stealing all the supplies they could from stores or other ponies not giving a care for the lives of others. The outbreak caused so much chaos that many ponies were seperated form each other as zombies spread throughout the city in hordes, moving down streets like a wave and sucking in anypony unlucky enough to be in their path. Gunfire was everywhere as ponies tried to fend off the waves of zombie ponies, but were easily picked off by the flying Pegasi zombies dived down from the skies making survivors easy prey.

Princess Cadence and Shining Armor only watched as their kingdom was in ruins, as ponies scrambled below being killed easily by the hordes of zombies, many gather under the Castle hoping it would protect them. There was just too chaos for the couple to even control the crowd as guards fluttered around or ran below trying to regain control of the wild Crystal ponies. But unfortunately, to o avail.

Cadence and Shining Armor looked to each other, sadness in their eyes that they just could not bear to see. They went into a final kiss as a zombie pegasus flew down and tackled Cadence, and began to relentlessly bite her until she simply became a convulsion corpse. Shining Armor attempted to avenge his wife by kicked off the pegasus and crushing it's head, but was tackled by more and more zombie pegasi. Then was ultimately defeated under a pile of zombies. The Crystal Empire, had fallen.

**AT PONYVILLE**

Disease didn't spread as quickly in Ponyvillie until well into the sixth year since Canterlot and every other major city had stopped checking in. Refugees from other cities were scarce but we're still flowing into the so called 'safezone.' From the Ponyvillie Library, Princess Twilight Sparkle and the rest of the elements of harmony had ensured that a magical barricade had been erected around the city's walls to prevent flying zombies and other unwanted infected ponies from entering. Even old enemies of ponyville, like Trixie and even the Flim Flam Brothers knew what was at stake and helped Twilight and her friends in an attempt to prevent the infection. Once infected ponies were sent away from Ponyvillie and the defenses were created, Ponyvillie had been known as a Infection Free Settlement. Possibly the only Settlement.

***

Gradually the rate of the infections slowed, and with less ponies in major cities zombies began to spread out becoming more scarce to see rather than in the large unending hordes of ponies that had overwhelmed the world before. The spread out into the land which was now gray, and ugly. As plants were unattended to the grass grew widlyly covering paths, but because of the Pegasi not controlling the weather, drought quickly set in and ravaged the lands. Entire species began to die off because of the disruption, and the gloomy cloud cover had created a sort of grayness that to which many ponies had fallen into a depression over. It has been over fifty eight years since the outbreak, this is the land you were brought into. Welcome, to Equestria.

"Run honey run they're right on our flank!" A pony screamed.

"I can't! I can't run anymore! We might drop her!" A mare yelled back.

"Come on honey, run faster!" The first voice yelled again, hissing a growls could be heard nearby as you suddenly flew into the air and landed on the ground and rolled.

"NOO! HONEY... I'm sorry..." He said quietly and you were picked up again, running again. Then a weird feeling overcame you as went through a type of substance.

"Safe at last..." The voice panted.

"HALT!" Came a stern voice.

Author's Note

So uh, the day I was writing the chapter sirens began to blare. I was afraid I'd done it and the zombie apocalypse began. ;-;

Hope you enjoyed the explanation of how Equestria fell, I kind of rushed it in my opinion and trust me, chapters will be MUCH longer than I had ever written before. I'm trying new things huh.

Thanks, love you all!
