Dead Rising : Equestria

Frank looked back at the rubble and squashed zombies as what was left over of the warehouse. He took in the scenery as way too familiar and way too unlikeable. A scene of death and violence, all because one guy couldn’t take the stress. It was one of the saddest things ever too know that people snapped this fast, it was only the first day and he had already encountered a psycho. The saddest part ? “Prized inventor”, it seemed everyone who snapped after the infection was a caring or great person/role model before it. Look at Cliff Hudson from the Willamette incident.

Frank took in the saddest parts of the events to his mind and let them all out in one hit as he slammed a zombie nearby him with the baseball bat, the event of violence was more gruesome then ever, as the creature’s head burst open, blood and brains splattering everywhere.

Chuck, Rainbow Dash, and Applejack stood in awe of the anger Frank seemed to let out in that one hit, when Frank suddenly interrupted their train of thought and said “Well are we gonna get back with these survivors or not?”  They all nodded at this and ran along telling Lyra and Bon Bon to  follow them back to the safe house.

Once they arrived, Frank got pessimistic about getting in.

“What do ya mean you forgot to put a damn stepladder next to the window, I thought we agreed that was the way to get in.” He yelled at Applejack before Chuck put a hand on his shoulder.

“Calm down, Frank, instead of yelling at one another about how we can’t get in, lets talk to one another about finding out how we can.” Rainbow Dash had already flown in the window, and Applejack had come up with a suggestion.

“Well we could use a block of hay to climb up there.”, Everyone agreed and Chuck pushed a block of hay under the window before helping Applejack up and then him and Frank pulled themselves up.

Chuck ran into the room his daughter was in to find her cuddled up against Fluttershy, he smiled warmly to find his daughter, for the first time in years, had made a friend that wasn’t a tiger.

Frank walked along the path of Sweet Apple Acres, taking in the decor, he had to admit, for a bunch of damn horses, they knew how to run a farm. Maybe staying here wouldn’t be as bad as he thought, maybe he could take a pony pun or 2, maybe he could make some friends.

“Okay now that we got your survivors, are we even?”, said Frank, reluctant to admit he felt good for saving them.

It was an honor thing, he wanted to be known as “The guy who uncovered the story of the century and defeated thousands of zombies.”, not “The guy who missed out on stopping the Phenotrans to save ponies.”

Applejack just sighed and said “Alright, a deals a deal, but I have one question. Do you really know how this started?” Frank was not afraid to tell her this truth, he knew it was inevitable, after he found out they somehow spoke English. He stood up and said yes.

“And you didn’t tell us!?” Applejack said, now angrier than she was at Franks earlier attitude.

“ I thought you would have only gotten in the way, it was a group called the Phenotrans, they do it to Earth too, they keep secretly letting out a bunch of zombies just so they can sell us this shit they call Zombrex, somehow they keep getting away with it, and no one knows they are the ones behind the outbreaks. The worst part? They do it all for god damn cash.” Frank explained.

He was now feeling guiltier than ever, it was his fault the world even discovered the zombie outbreak, if he had just stopped Carlito’s bombs and then died himself, the world would have never known about zombies, but now it wasn’t only the USA, now it was a whole other dimension along with it.

Frank felt a tear trickle down his cheek, memories of Willamette flashing to him, it was all going by so fast. It reminded him of why he kept fighting, why he kept smashing, why he kept shooting, because he saw people who didn’t deserve anything bad bite the dust, it was what kept him alive, the memory of those people, the reason he wanted to get that story out.

Then the flashback hit him.

It was all going by so fast he couldn’t keep track of anything. Carlito’s words made more sense than ever now. Frank decided he couldn’t take it and said “I am gonna go outside for a second.”

Chuck looked at Fluttershy and Katey, it was soothing to know his daughter was in good hands..er..hooves, he walked up to the 2 of them.

“So did Katey behave herself.” Chuck asked, Fluttershy gently nodded as Katey woke up and took out her PSP to play Megaman.

Scootaloo saw the foreign device and ran up “Ooh what is that?”’

Katey pulled away as soon as Scootaloo got too close and it wound up in a chase.

Chuck politely backed away and said “ You and Stacey are better with kids.”
