A Derpy Apocalypse: The Raiders

Vinyl and Octavia trotted up a dirt road passing by houses, screaming "ZOMBIES ZOMBIES!", trying to alert everypony, but nopony woke up. They felt a bit down by this, but knew that it was better to save themselves than to risk their lives and get killed for nothing.  They didn't worry about discussing it; after all, great minds think alike.  But in their case it was just a matter of will I die or live, which in this case they decided to keep themselves alive and leave the rest for dead.  And it all seemed so easy, just forgetting about anypony else, the thought of everypony dying from being eaten and torn apart by teeth of other ponies...it got to their heads, they pondered it as they ran along the road dodging zombies left and right.  All this...the blood, the bullets, the screams, the death, one word went through there heads...

Raiders

~~~

At about 6:30 in the morning, the two arrived at a safehouse. The sun was out and the zeds weren't, which was good for them, given that they had no supplies whatsoever.  They decided to sit down at a shady spot under a tree and examine the area.  It seemed to be in the middle of nowhere, and there was lots of tall grass and wood nearby.  The sky was mostly overcast, sometimes bringing small, light showers of rainwater.  The main thing it brought was shade. This, in the summer time, plus the cool wind and occasional showers made the weather feel just perfect.  Every once in a while there would be some spider or beetle crawling across the dirt. Sometimes just a bee to piss the two off and leave after a couple of minutes.  There were no zeds, and that was a good thing, and they were hoping it would stay that way.

They made their way closer to the wood and noticed a river, and some live ash from a fire.  It was obviously recent, and the hoofprints of the ponies who made it were obviously leading in one single direction. That direction was deeper into the woods.  The two newbie raiders looked at each other and nodded.  It seemed they had both agreed that it was time for their first raid.  They looked up at the sky and saw a tower of smoke heading eastward into the woods.  They walked in that direction using their pistols to move briers and thorns out of their way.  They stayed on a trail to keep from making loud crunching sounds in the leaves. Once they heard talking, they got down low and proceeded with caution.

"Ha! I remember that!" one of the stallions said with a Coke by his side. He popped the top off and took a big swig. "Ah, buck, that's some good stuff!" he said.

"Would you shut your mouth?" a mare said jokingly. "Your going to attract zombies or raiders!"

"Yeah right. What kind of pony would be out raiding after just 2 days?" the stallion replied.

"You'd be surprised," Octavia interrupted holding her gun out at their heads.

The stallion swore under his breath. "Watch your mouth, will you?" Octavia said again, firing her gun at his shoulder.  The stallion screamed in pain as the bullet tore through his bone and disabled his arm from being strong enough to move.

"Guys, I hate to break it to you," Vinyl said. "But we are the raiders, and we need some living supplies, and we will be nice enough to kill you right away so go ahead and make your choice."

"But...we have just known each other for a month, we were just engaged!" Said the mare.

"Sucks," Vinyl said laughing.

"You can't do that!" the mare shouted again.

"Watch me," Vinyl said.  She flipped her pistol around and beat the stallion half to death with it.

"NO! STOP!!!" The mare screamed, running to Vinyl. Vinyl pushed her down and shot all four of her knees.

"If you can shut up, I'll show you what I can do," Vinyl said.

"Vinyl, go ahead and kill them already, we don't need all of Equestria to know we are taking things!" Octavia said.

"Vinyl!?!??" the mare shouted. "Like DJ PON3?"

"Yeah, you get to spend your last minutes with your boyfriend and a big star, how nice!" Vinyl said aiming the gun to the mares head.

"NO!" the mare screamed again.

"Oh okay I'll take him out first," she said.

"WAIT WAIT WAIT!"

"No second chances!" Vinyl shouted, firing 3 rounds into the stallions head.

"NO!!!" the mare screamed. She kept screaming loudly, trying to alert a nearby horde. Without haste, Vinyl got a knife off the ground and took out the mare's tongue, the next thing Octavia heard was a loud incision, with a moan of pain.  Octie looked back to see a blood streaming from the mare's mouth and a tongue on the dirt.  She looked up to see Vinyl holding a bloody knife.

"Let's finish you off now," Vinyl said taking the knife and jabbing the knife in her throat in and out repeatedly. The mare was still choking and coughing up blood.  Vinyl got tired and stepped on her throat until she heard a snap, when that didn't kill the mare, she just fired her last three rounds into the pony.

"Alright Octie," Vinyl said. "Get the stuff, lets go."

"Wow, I didn't know you had that in you Vinyl..." Octavia said staring at the mutilated corpse.

"We are raiders, Octavia. We are nopony's friend.  We live for ourselves and ourselves only, no one is a friend in the apocalypse.".

"You do have a point..." Octavia picked up a set of saddlebags. "Let's go find a place to camp."
