Dead Rising MLP Edition

"Scavenge the cabin for anything they left behind, I didn't tell Orion about the cellar," I call out to Dash, "They're may be some weapons and and supplies." I just heard a quick okay and then silence. I remember that I brought some spare ammo for that handgun when I saved Scootaloo.  I did find a few knives while out at Sugar cube, and there was that workbench. I sprint down to the cellar to check for any supplies. I see a machete, a rake, and boxing gloves. I first put the gloves on the table and add the knives to each finger. Add some duct tape and you get boxing gloves with knives attached. I did the same with the rake and machete getting a lance like rake.

"The power of duct tape!" I shout in a proud voice.

"Okay..." I hear Dash shout back down. With my new found tools I walked upstairs.

"Here, have this huge battery," Dash tossed a battery on the table, "And a rake, I'm sure you can find something to make use of these." I smile and run back to the cellar, put the rake on the table then I add the battery, and use the mighty duct tape and create some sort of rake with a battery strapped to it. I walk up with the rake being held up by magic and wave to Dash to hurry up.

"I'm just getting a few more cans of food," she replies, "And that is one weird rake." Opening the door gives a fresh smell of blood that burns my nostrils. Turns out the zombies were getting pretty hungry and decided to eat a deer that was near my house. We decided to ignore them and follow the instructions to this safe house. We approach the forest to prepare our road trip.

"Alright, he says to follow the path until reaching the fork in the road," I tell her. Dash pulls out the sword, still covered with blood. I get ready the lance rake. The path was made of cobblestone, with a bit of dirt here and there. Like most ponies would expect in this situation there were splotches of blood here and there, but the oddest thing was the note attached to the tree. The note was written in blood, it read,

"Do not take the right path, to many zombies. You will die if you take the right. Remember do NOT take the right. My four friends died there, and I am slowly bleeding out. So any one who finds my note don't take the right path."

I put my hoof on my fore head and give a little salute.

"What did it say?" Dash asked me.

"It said don't take the right," I tell her, "the pony who wrote this is probably dead, and his four friends are dead." This path was already creeping me out. The trees were high enough to block out the sun. We reached the fork in the road, which is where the path ended, but two lanes of grass were. The left, which was filled with tall green grass, or the right, which was filled with dying shrubs and tons of crimson on the floor. It was obvious that we should take the left. The grass against my legs felt really nice, like something soft being rubbed against them. Dash decided to float off the ground and see if anything was a bit ahead of us. Her wings were a bit damaged for her to fly too fast or high. The path ended with a huge stone building covered in all sorts of vegetation, but that is what happens when something is abandoned in a forest. On a guard tower was Orion sitting with a revolver watching the path.

"Dusk!" he yells down to us, "Up here, who's your friend?"

"Her name's Rainbow Dash, she helped me defend against the horde at night.

"And Dusk here saved my life when one managed to attack me from behind." This statement made me blush a bit.

"Well you two get your flanks into the safe house," he tells us as he gently floats down, "Let me give you a tour." Orion gently drifted down from the tower and showed us to the entrance. The door itself was made of reinforced steel, with five iron bars in a small window in front of the door. It seemed to be the most in tact item of the structure.

"Any news for me to here Dusk?" Orion asked me as the three of us walk down a dimmed lit hallway.

"I was forced to kill another," I reply in a shamed voice. He turns around and looks at me.

"Who?" he just asked in a somewhat gentle voice.

"Two," I tell him, "A baby dragon named Spike and a purple alicorn named Twilight." He sighs and continues walking. At the end of the dimmed hallway was a shining light. We entered the room just for me to get blinded by the light.

"Working electricity never made my eyes hurt so much," I yell in a some what humorous voice. When I finally was able to open my eyes again I saw Scootaloo and Applebloom sleeping on two cots, a nice couch set up with a working television in front of it, and a kitchen in the back.

"I'll cook us some food," Dash tells us, "Orion, go back to the watchtower, Dusk, you should get some shuteye." Orion nods as he points to a room near the middle of the hallway. I approach the room and plop into the bed. It was so nice to finally get some sleep in a structure that could survive a pretty damn long time in an attack. My eyelids slowly grow heavy and I pass out.

"They will all die because of you..." a  voice whispers into my ear, "You are the reason that they will die." It went completely silent. A few minutes later I wake up in a small room, completely painted black, with one piano in it. I walk up to the piano and play some melody I don't even know on an instrument I don't know how to play. Then somepony enters the room, they are in a completely dress in black robes, and their face was covered by shadows. Instead of reacting to the hooded stranger I continue to play the piano.The figure then dissolves into the floor and everything goes black. The room then reforms with Rainbow Dash and Orion dead, with me standing over their corpses with a knife, a knife covered in crimson.

"DUSK!" I hear Orion scream from the other room, "Dusk snap out of it." He slaps me and a begin to regain my senses.

"Are you okay?" I hear Rainbow Dash ask me. I just stare at the two, and the scene with their bodies flashes through my mind. I scream again than instantly pass out.

"Girls stay in the other room," I hear Orion say before losing my sense of all reality.
