A Derpy Apocalypse

"Who is Dinky?" Gunny asked once they got downstairs.  Derpy slowly wiped her eyes of tears, and responded.

"When I was about seven...both my parents died, one after another.  Their deaths were slow...and painful, and I had to watch the whole thing.  Something happened underground, some type of...mining for a new element that was known to hold a type of magic that could heal anything, it didn't have a name, but those...those greedy asses! They were told of the danger...but they just wanted the element. Before we could notice, there was an explosion, they didn't notice how close they were to ground, and they caused a sinkhole to form under our neighborhood.  Our house was at the edge,  it was torn in half, me, my parents, and my little sister all fell in. I got a piece of shrapnel stuck in my arm.  I can remember my parents telling me it was going to be okay, and we just had to wait for rescue.  Then I saw my father trying to crawl up, he was fixing to give me a kiss on the cheek, and something fell on him.  What I felt on my cheek...was his blood when his skull was crushed under rock and his eyes were popped and his bones broken...I remember hearing my sister screaming 'daddy!' and my mother weeping loudly.  But along with the rock came more and more fragments of metal, falling all over my mom and my little sister...I can remember their screams, their agony, the blood shooting out from their bodies.

"When I was extracted from the zone, I could remember seeing a little filly looking at me.  She was a unicorn, she knew magic very well, she healed my wounds, she helped me out, but the doctors never saw her, every time somepony else would come in, she would disappear...she wasn't a ghost or anything, she just never let anypony see her.  When my time at the hospital was done, they put me in an orphanage.  I was made fun of for my eyes, but I remembered they were normal, I went in and looked at myself in the mirror.  They were crossed.  Whatever element they had, was extremely radioactive, and when it isn't applied right, it does different things.  I was considered a mental defective, an ugly retard who didn't have parents or anything live for.  With the help of Dinky, I escaped the orphanage.  She used magic to make me learn faster, and learn more.  My intelligence, survival skills, strength, and more things were increased dramatically.

"One day though, she left, the filly.  I don't know why, but I assumed it was for good reason, and kept on living.  I couldn't dream of harming her, and now...I just cut off her bottom jaw and ordered her to be tied up....and I..."

Derpy started to weep again.  Gunny quickly came down to comfort her.

"No Derpy, you didn't.  That thing back there is not Dinky, that is her corpse taken over by a virus.  Don't let guilt consume you, all you can do is hope that she died quickly.  But if there is a cure, I promise you she will be the first one we cure, and I'm sure her magic will fix her...jaw problem."  Gunny wiped the tears from Derpy's eyes and kissed her on her forehead.  "It's okay...It's okay.."

Big Mac was nonetheless disgusted by the whole thing so he decided to check on the zed.  But when he went back there, it was untied and it's jaw was grown back.  Big Mac grabbed a nearby pistol and knife and shouted,

"OH BUCK IT'S LOOSE!!!"

The others hurried in to see that the zed had grown back all of it's joints and it's jaw.  Gunny grabbed a Carbine and Derpy took out her machete.

"Dinky...are you still in there?" She asked.  The corpse almost replied with a yes, but the zed quickly changed the attitude to seek and devour.  The thing jumped on Ditsy, Ditsy rolled it over and sliced off both of it's arms.

"Dinky you can overpower it...take it over!" She shouted.  The zed stopped and the corpse looked up at Derpy with a tear in it's eye.

"I'm....srrry....goodbrr..." It mumbled before turning back into a savage monster.  Derpy felt tears streaming as she destroyed the corpse with her machete spreading gore everywhere within a sixteen inch radius.

They all stared at the corpse as it remained motionless and in pieces.  Gunny quickly grabbed a syringe and extracted some DNA from the zed.

"Big Mac, get it out.  Were done with this piece of crap." Gunny said.  Big Mac nodded and drug the thing by it's leg to put into the trash room.
