Chapters Deadstria
Chapter 1 A Picture
In Thunderstorm’s castle.
“King Thunderstorm!!” A guard says.
“What is it Hurricane?” Thunderstorm says.
“Some strange object was found 50 miles outside of the Crystal Empire.” “We have no idea what it is.” “Here’s a picture that Hail drew.” Hurricane says.
“What a strange shape.” “What could it be?” “Looks like some kind of technology.” “Have Ratchet look into it.” Thunderstorm says.
“Yes sir.” Hurricane says and runs out the room.
Thunderstorm stares at the picture.
Rainbow Dash walks up to him “What is that?” She says.
“I wish I knew.” Thunderstorm says.
“It looks strange.” “Did somepony see this?” Rainbow Dash says.
Thunderstorm nods.
“What are we going to do?” Rainbow Dash says.
“I got Ratchet working on it.” Thunderstorm says.
“Oh cool.” Rainbow Dash says.
Thunderstorm puts the picture on the wall then smiles at Rainbow Dash “How is my pregnant Queen?” He kisses her.
She smiles. “Great besides being 5 months pregnant.” “I can barely walk I’m so fat.” She says.
Thunderstorm smiles at her even more. “You couldn’t be more beautiful.” He says.
“No pony this fat is beautiful.” Rainbow Dash says.
Thunderstorm gives her a long kiss.
“Wow…you do still think I’m beautiful.” She says.
“Let me take you to that bed and I’ll show you even more how beautiful you are to me.” Thunderstorm says.
Rainbow Dash blushes and giggles. “Thunderstorm.” “Stop it.”
Thunderstorm smiles. “I can’t help it.” “You are so beautiful and strong willed.” “How you have even gotten through 3 months I don’t know.” “I couldn’t have.” Thunderstorm says.
“Now you’re just bullshitting me.” She says.
“Possibly.” “Ow.” He says.
She hits his shoulder.
He laughs. “I was just joking.” He rubs his shoulder. “Ow.” He says.
“That’s what you get you joker.” She says.
“But seriously.” “Want to go to the bed?” He says.
“I don’t really feel like it.” “I wobble just to walk.” “I don’t think I be very good right now.” She says.
“Making love to you is always good.” “You are the pony I love.” He says.
Rainbow Dash smiles. “Ok.” “Let’s go.” She says.
Thunderstorm smiles. “Lets.” He says.
The next day.
Thunderstorm smiles at Rainbow Dash sleeping.
He kisses her cheek. “I love you Dashy.” He starts to get out of the bed.
“Wait Thunder.” She says.
“Dashy.” “You’re awake.” He says.
“Please don’t leave.” She says.
“I was just going to make you some breakfast and then bring it to you.” “Breakfast in bed.” He says.
Rainbow Dash kisses him. “You are too sweet.” She says.
Thunderstorm smiles.
“Never.” He says.
“You were amazing last night.” She says.
“So were you.” He says.
“I just want to lay here with you forever.” She says.
Thunderstorm smiles even more. “Back at ya.” He says and they kiss.
Hurricane runs into the room. “Thunderstorm!!” “Some kind of creatures are here!!” “We need your…” He says.
A creature lands on Hurricane’s back and stabs a small claw into his forehead then flies off.
“What the hay was that?” “Hurricane are you ok?” Thunderstorm says.
Things grow out of Hurricane’s body. “Raaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!” He says.
“Hurricane get a hold of yourself!” Thunderstorm says.
“Oh Shit.” Rainbow Dash says.
Hurricane tackles Thunderstorm.
“Hurricane don’t make me hurt you!!” He says.
“Raaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!” Hurricane says.
POW!!
Hurricane falls onto the floor. His body in half.
“What the hay was that?!” “David?” Thunderstorm says.
“I’ll explain later.” “Where did you get this picture?” David says.
“Hurricane gave it to me yesterday.” “Hail drew it.” “What are you wearing?” Thunderstorm says.
“No time to explain right now.” “Where is this?” David says.
“50 miles outside of The Crystal Empire.” Thunderstorm says.
“I brought the same suits for everypony.” “Here’s yalls.” “Put them on fast.” David says.
A few minutes later.
“Let me help you Dashy.” “There we go.” “We’re ready.” Thunderstorm says.
“Good.” “Take these.” David says.
“What are they?” Thunderstorm says.
“Plasma cutters.” “It’s what I used to kill Hurricane.” David says.
“You still haven’t explained what’s going on.” Thunderstorm says.
“I will but not now.” “Follow me and stay close.” David says.
They follow David down the hallway and all the way down to Thunderstorm’s throne room.
“Is that doc?” Thunderstorm says.
“Not anymore.” “I had to shoot him on my way to yall.” David says.
He slowly opens one of the front doors.
“We’re clear.” “Follow me and move fast.” He says.
“I can’t really move fast.” Rainbow Dash says.
Thunderstorm levitates her onto his back. “Let’s go.” He says.
“On three.” “One…two….three!” David says and they all run outside.
“Where are we going?!” Thunderstorm says.
“To mine and Cheerilee’s bunker!” David says.
“Is anypony else there?!” Thunderstorm says.
“All the others are!” David says.
“Ok.” Thunderstorm says.
David looks up into the sky. “Take cover!” He says and they dive behind some rocks.
“That’s some of the creatures that stabbed Hurricane in his forehead.” Thunderstorm says.
“I’ll tell you everything when we reach the bunker.” David says.
“How far away is it?” Thunderstorm says.
“About another….30 miles.” David says.
“What?!!” Thunderstorm says.
“We had to make sure that it was in a safe place.” David says.
“You saved The Cutie Mark Crusaders right?” Thunderstorm says.
“Oh…I knew I forgot something.” David says.
Thunderstorm puts Rainbow Dash beside David.
“Keep her safe.” He says and flies off.
“No wait!!” “Damn him.” David says
.
“We have to go after him.” Rainbow Dash says.
“Are you crazy?!” “If I don’t take you to the bunker first!” “He’ll kill me!!” “I’m getting you to the bunker.” David says.
“No.” Rainbow Dash says.
“No arguments.” David says.
“I’am the Queen of Equestria and you will do what I say.” Rainbow Dash says.
“Out of all respect no.” “I’m taking you to the bunker.” David says.
“How?” “You don’t have Thunder’s strength.” “You can’t carry me.” Rainbow Dash says.
“Good point.” “I guess we wait for him to come back then.” “Good thing I have plenty of ammo.” David says.
“Oh Luna.” Rainbow Dash says.
Thunderstorm lands in front of the Cutie Mark Crusaders club house.

Deadstria
Chapter 2 The Bunker
Thunderstorm runs into the club house.
“Girls!!” He says.
Applebloom and Scootaloo lie on the floor dead.
“No.” He says and tears go down his cheeks.
“Thu….Thunderstorm?” A voice says.
Thunderstorm turns around.
“Sweetie Belle.” He says.
She hugs his hoof crying.
“Thunderstorm.” She says.
Thunderstorm hugs her and wraps his wings around her.
“I’m here Sweetie.” He says.
Sweetie Belle cries into his chest.
Thunderstorm looks at Applebloom’s and Scootaloo’s bodies.
“Let’s get out of here.” He says.
“Sniffle.” “Ok.” She says.
Thunderstorm looks into her eyes.
“Don’t worry.” “I’ll keep you safe.” “I promise.” He says.
She smiles.
Thunderstorm levitates her onto his back then takes off.
Where David and Rainbow Dash are.
Thunderstorm lands with Sweetie Belle on his back.
“About time!!” “I’ve had to shoot like 30 Necromorphs!!” David says.
“Necro what?” Thunderstorm says.
“Can we just get to the bunker?” David says.
“Let’s go.” Thunderstorm says.
Sweetie Belle moves to the top of his head and Thunderstorm levitates Rainbow Dash onto his back.
In front of the bunker.
“Wait.” “Where isApplebloom and Scootaloo?” Rainbow Dash says.
Sweetie Belle starts crying.
Thunderstorm looks at the ground.
“No.” She says.
“Oh man.” David says.
Thunderstorm’s eyes glow red.
“Those things killed them.” He says.
Storm clouds form in the sky.
“You are going to tell me everything about them and then!!” He says.
BOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! POW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
CRACKLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! A storm roars as Thunderstorm’s anger grows.
“I’m going to kill every last one of them.” Thunderstorm says.
“Come on then.” David says.
They enter the bunker.
Lights come on.
Lighting up a long corridor.
“That’s odd.” “That blood wasn’t there before.” David says.
Thunderstorm closes his eyes and listens.
“I hear nothing.” He says.
“Please no.” David says.
They run down the corridor and turn a corner.
A Necromorph Cheerilee stands in front of them.
“Crap.” Thunderstorm says.
“Celestia no.”David says.
She runs at Thunderstorm.
“David!!” “A filly and a pregnant mare in danger here!!!”Thunderstorm says.
POW!!
She falls down dead.
“Thank you.”Thunderstorm says.
David stares at Cheerilee.
Thunderstorm wraps a wing around him.
“I’m sorry.” “I’m so sorry.” He says.
“I could’ve been here.” “You had to go to the club house.”David says.
“If I didn’t then Sweetie Belle would’ve ended up dead like Applebloom and Scootaloo.” “We had a choice to make.” “To save a filly or a mare and we chose the filly.” “Would you really leave a filly to die?”Thunderstorm says.
“No.”David says.
“Exactly.” “Thanks to us a sweet little filly that has her whole life ahead of her is still alive.” “We made our decision now let’s move on.”Thunderstorm says.
“Right.” David says.
They enter a room.
Sweetie Belle jumps off Thunderstorm and runs to Rarity.
Rarity hugs her.
“What about Applebloom?” Applejack says.
Thunderstorm looks at the ground and shakes his head.
“Celestia no.” Applejack says.
Tears go down her cheeks.
“Scootaloo to?”Twilight says.
Thunderstorm nods.
“Those poor girls.” “They had no idea what was coming.” Twilight says.
“Everypony listen up.” “I’m going to tell you everything that I know.”David says.
“That will be short.”JT says.
Twilight smacks him on the back of his head.
“I’ll shut up.”JT says.
Twilight smiles.
Hours later.
“And that’s it.”David says.
Thunderstorm pulls up a map.
“They’re covering the planet quickly.” “We need to find any survivors and gather together.” “Together we are strong.” “And we live long.” Thunderstorm says.
“Our mission is clear.” “To find any survivors that we can and to take out the Necromorphs markers.” “To kick these son of bitches out of our planet.”Ratchet says.
“Right now we are small!” “But we are great together!” “And we will grow.” “We will come together and we…will..conquer.” “We are Equestrians and this is our home!!!” “Let’s show them who they’re messing with!!!” “Who’s home they have attacked!!!” “Let’s show them what a pony can do.”Thunderstorm says.
Everypony cheers.
Thunderstorm smiles.

Chapter 3 Awaken the Dark Father and Light Lover
“Our mission is clear.” “To reach the marker that is 150 miles from this bunker and take it out.”Ratchet says.
“Keep close and keep on guard.” “Let’s go.”Thunderstorm says.
“I forgot Angel.” “Can we please go get him?”Fluttershy says.
“Sure Flutter.”Thunderstorm says.
Fluttershy smiles.
“Thanks Thunder.” She says.
Thunderstorm smiles.
“No problem.” He says.
At Ponyville.
“Wow.”David says.
“Yeah.”Thunderstorm says.
“Dang.”Ratchet says
“Buck.” JT says.
Blood, bodies, ruined houses, the smell of death in the air and much more is in front of them.
“On three run.”“One…two…three!”David says and they all run.
At Fluttershy’s cottage.
“Angel!!” She says and runs inside.
“Fluttershy wait!!”Thunderstorm and David say.
Everypony runs after her.
In Fluttershy’s Cottage.
Fluttershy is holding Angel at hoofs length away from her.
He’s clawing and snarling at her.
“Angel.” “What’s wrong with you?”Fluttershy says.
“Oh buck.”Thunderstorm says.
“Oh man.”David says. Angel scratches her hoof.
“Ow!!” She says and drops him.
He jumps on her.
“That’s not Angel Fluttershy!!!” “Not anymore!!” “Kill him!!!” “Now!!!”Thunderstorm says.
Fluttershy holds Angel’s claws back.
“I don’t want to hurt Angel.” She says.
Tears go down her cheeks.
“Angel please….don’t do this.” She says.
“Raaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!” He says and scratches her face.
“Ah!”She says.
“Kill him!!”Thunderstorm says.
Fluttershy pushes him off and pulls out a plasma cutter and points it at Angel.
“Ha huh.” “Ha huh.” “Angel…please.” She says.
“Raaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!”Angel says.
He jumps at her.
POW!!
Angel’s blood splatters on her.
She drops the plasma cutter and breaks down crying.
Thunderstorm steps forward.
“No….you got to look after Rainbow Dash.” “I got it.” David says and walks to Fluttershy and hugs her.
She cries into his chest.
“Fluttershy.” “I wish I could help.” “I’m so sorry my little butterfly.”Thunderstorm says.
“You do.” “By being here.” “You’ve looked after her since you were a teenager.”Rainbow Dash says.
“I’m older than Flutter.” “She’s like a daughter to me yet also a sister.” “I just want to look after her.” “To protect her from any pain.” “I don’t want her to hurt Dashy.” He says.
Tears go down his cheeks.
“I know but it’s unavoidable.” “Just be there when she needs a father or brother.”Rainbow Dash says.
“Always.” “Sniffle.” “How is my beautiful pregnant queen?”Thunderstorm says.
“Ready to have this baby.” “I hate not being able to do anything.” “I can’t even run!” Rainbow Dash says.
Thunderstorm laughs.
“I know it hurts.” “I know how you feel.” “I had to shoot Cheerilee.” David says.
A tear goes down his cheek.
“Ha huh.”“Ha huh.” “But Cheerilee and Angel are free now.” “They’re in a better place and Angel wouldn’t want you to cry and I don’t either.” David says.
Fluttershy looks up at him.
“I’ll always be here to take the hurt away.” “I promise.”David says.
They slowly kiss.
“Hey!!”Thunderstorm says.
David and Fluttershy look at him in shock.
Thunderstorm walks over to them.
“Keep your lips away from my sister’s!!!” Thunderstorm says and pushes them apart.
“I think she’s been hurt enough.” “You stay away or you’ll be the next one dead.” “Beside me Fluttershy.” Thunderstorm says.
Fluttershy stands up.
“Ok Thunder.” She says.
Thunderstorm kisses the top of her head.
“I’m just trying to keep you safe.” “You know that right?” He says.
“Yeah.”Fluttershy says.
“Good.” “Let’s go.”Thunderstorm says.
“You can’t keep us apart forever.”David says.
Thunderstorm stops walking.
“Oh no.”Fluttershy says.
“He just fucked up.”Rainbow Dash says.
Thunderstorm looks back at him.
“What did you just say?” He says.
“I said you can’t keep us apart forever.” “She cares about me and I care about…” He says.
POW!! BOOM!!!!
Thunderstorm punches him to the floor.
David tries to stand back up but falls back down.
“I told you that if you didn’t stay away that you’d be the next one dead.” Thunderstorm says and steps on his chest.
David cringes in pain.
SHING!!
Thunderstorm’s armor appears and he points it at David’s neck.
“You must’ve thought I was kidding.” “Can’t keep you apart forever huh?” “I think this will be pretty permanent.” “Don’t you?” “She won’t be hurt anymore!!!” Thunderstorm says and raises his wing.
“No!!” Fluttershy screams and jumps over David’s neck and looks up at Thunderstorm.
“Move Flutter.”Thunderstorm says.
“No.”Fluttershy says.
“Flutter!!”“Move!!”Thunderstorm says.
“No Thunder.” “I do care about him and he understands how much I’m hurting…..what I lost.” She says.
Tears go down her cheeks.
“If you truly care about me then you won’t take that away from me.” “Please Thunder.”She says.
Thunderstorm’s wing shakes.
“F…Fine.” He says and puts his wing up and his armor disappears and he steps off of David.
Fluttershy hugs Thunderstorm.
“Thank you so much Thunder!!” She says and kisses his cheek then hugs David.
Thunderstorm looks at Fluttershy in shock.
“You’re blushing.” Rainbow Dash says.
“I’m just caught off guard is all.”Thunderstorm says.
“I know.” “Don’t worry.” “He won’t hurt her.”Rainbow Dash says.
“How do you know that?”Thunderstorm says.
“Because he looks at her the same way that you look at me.” “Would you hurt me?”Rainbow Dash says.
“I never could.” “Even if I tried.”Thunderstorm says.
“Exactly.”Rainbow Dash says.
Thunderstorm looks at Fluttershy and David.
“I just can’t let go.” He says.
“You don’t have to.” “I’ll keep you in check.”Rainbow Dash says.
Thunderstorm smiles.
“Thanks Dashy.” He says.
Rainbow Dash smiles.
“Happy to Thunder.”She says.
They kiss.
“That was pretty brave what you did for me Fluttershy.”David says.
Fluttershy blushes.
“It was nothing.” “I know Thunder would never hurt me.” “He’s like a father slash brother to me.” “He’s protective like a father but likes to cut up with me like a brother.” “Are you alright?” She says.
David smiles.
“I’m fine.” “Thunder is my friend to.” “He wasn’t going to kill me.” “Nearly kill me yes but kill me no.” “The important thing is…are you ok?” He says.
“I’am now.” She says and kisses him.

Chapter 4 The Mark Inside
Twilight says “We should move on before something shows up.” Fluttershy says “What about Angel?” “I can’t just leave him like that.” Thunderstorm says “I got it Flutter.” “Yall can go.” “I’ll take care of Angel.” Rainbow Dash says “What about me?” Thunderstorm says “Ratchet carry her.” Ratchet says “Are you crazy?!” “She’ll break my back!!” Rainbow Dash says “Excuse me?” Thunderstorm says “Well if your to weak to carry a mare then…” Ratchet says “No.” “I’ll carry her.” Ratchet puts her on his back and barely
stands up. Thunderstorm says “Be a stallion.” David says “We don’t have your strength Thunder.” “We’re not sons of a Dark King.” Thunderstorm says “No excuses.” “Now get out of here.” They all leave. Thunderstorm looks at Angel and says “Goodbye my friend.” Angel catches on fire and it spreads to the walls. Thunderstorm says “No pony will miss this place.” He leaves the cottage and catches up to the others. Fluttershy says “You buried him that fast?” Thunderstorm says “Um….yep.” “Magic is great to have.” He
smiles at her. She smiles back and says “Thanks Thunder….for always being there.” Thunderstorm frowns and says “Sure Flutter.” David says “What’s wrong?” Thunderstorm says “Nothing.” Applejack says “Is that smoke?” Thunderstorm says “Don’t be crazy.” David says “Uh guys.” Thunderstorm says “What?” David says “We’re still miles from the marker right?” Thunderstorm says “Twilight?” Twilight says “Yep.” “Why?” David points forward and says “That’s why.” They all look forward. A marker stands
a few feet away from them. Thunderstorm says “Buck there’s two.” “I’ll take care of it.” SHING!! Armor appears on Thunderstorm’s wings. He starts walking to the marker. Princess Luna steps in front of him. Thunderstorm stops and says “Mother?” Princess Luna says “Why did you let me die?” Thunderstorm says “You’re dead?” Princess Luna says “I would’ve come to you if I wasn’t!” “You know I’m dead!!” “Why did you let me die?!!” Thunderstorm says “I’m sorry mother.” “I didn’t know what was going on.” Tears
go down his cheeks. He says “I didn’t know that you needed me.” Rainbow Dash says “What is going on?” “Luna isn’t there.” David says “Oh buck.” “Thunderstorm!!” BOOM!!! Thunderstorm faints. David says “Oh no.” Rainbow Dash says “What is going on?!!!” David says “You might want to sit down before I tell you and try to stay calm since you’re pregnant.” Rainbow Dash sits down and says “I’am calm.” “Now tell me before I break your face.” David says “You are Thunderstorm’s wife.” Rainbow Dash smiles and says
“Thank you.” “Now tell me.” David sighs and says “Ok.” In Thunderstorm’s head. Thunderstorm says “I’m sorry!!!” He falls on knees crying and says “I’m so sorry.” Princess Luna walks up to him. Her eyes glowing and says “Don’t worry son.” “We will be whole soon.” Thunderstorm says “Huh?” “M…Mother?” “What are you doing?” She grabs his neck and says “Making us whole.” Thunderstorm says “Mother….I can’t breathe.” “Mother….Mother please.” Princess Luna says
“Raaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!” Back to David and Rainbow Dash. David says “And that’s it.” Rainbow Dash says “Oh Luna.” “Please make it Thunder.” Pinkie Pie says “The blue thing on Thundy’s back is now yellow and dropping.” “It changes colors!” “Cool!!” David says “What?!!” Rainbow Dash says “What’s wrong?” David says “It’s his health!” “It’s dropping!!” “He’s dying!!” Rainbow Dash says “What?!!!” In Thunderstorm’s head. Thunderstorm says “You’re not…..mother.” “She wouldn’t…..hurt me…like….this.” “Let…..go.” It smiles at him. BOOM!!!! Thunderstorm catches on fire. Princess Luna screams “Raaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!” She lets go out of pain. Thunderstorm says “Get out of my heeeeeeead!!!” SHING!! He stabs his armor through her chest. Back to David and Rainbow Dash. Thunderstorm’s eyes slowly open and he stands up but stumbles. Applejack catches him and says “Whoa partner.” “Just slow down.” “You’ve been through quite a rodeo.” Rainbow Dash runs to him and
hugs him and says “Thunderstorm!!!” She kisses him and says “I’m so glad you’re ok.” “I was so worried.” “Your health was dropping.” Thunderstorm shakes his head and says “I’m…I’m fine Dashy.” She smiles and hugs him. Thunderstorm thinks “I saw Aunt Celestia behind mother.” “I’m alone….the last of the royal family.” “My family is gone.” “Father is probably dead to but my reason to fight and keep on is hugging me now.” “Together we stand and together we rise.” Thunderstorm says “David.”
David says “Yeah?” Thunderstorm says “I’ve done enough for one day.” “You can destroy the marker.” David says “Ok.” Fluttershy says “No.” David says “I’ll be fine.” “Don’t worry.” He starts walking to the marker. Thunderstorm and the others watch him. A voice says “Daddy.” David stops and turns around and says “Cheryl?” Cheryl walks up to him and says “Daddy.” Tears go down her cheeks and she says “Why did you let me die daddy?” David says “I…I couldn’t get to you or your brothers and sister.” “I’m
sorry.” Sandstorm, Sourcan, Berryllee, and Cheerilee stand beside Cheryl. BOOM!! David faints. Fluttershy says “David!!” Thunderstorm stops her and says “You can’t help him.” “Just stay back where I know you’re safe and hope.” Tears go down Fluttershy’s cheeks and she says “David.” Thunderstorm says “This kind of worry and hurt is exactly what I want to protect her from.” “She doesn’t need this.” Rainbow Dash says “I go through it with you.” Thunderstorm says “You a lot stronger than Flutter and
you know that.” Rainbow Dash says “You can’t protect her forever.” “If love found a way into your dark heart then it will find a way past you and she will be with who she wants to be with.” Thunderstorm says “If you’re trying to convince me to let go that will never happen.” “I’d sooner go to Hell.” Rainbow Dash says “Please don’t say that.” Thunderstorm says “Sorry Dashy.” In David’s head. Cheryl, Sandstorm, Sourcan, and Berryllee hug him. David hugs them back. Tears going down his cheeks. Cheerilee stares at
him. David says “Cheerilee?” Cheerilee says “You hug them and look at me like you care about us.” Tears go down her cheeks and she says “But you let them die and you….shot me.” “Ha huh.” “I thought you loved me.” “We had four kids together.” “The way you held me and looked at me.” David says “I do love you but you were gone and you were about to kill Thunderstorm, Sweetie Belle, and Rainbow Dash.” “I had no choice and I couldn’t get to you kids.” “I’m so sorry.” Cheerilee walks up to him and says “Do you
want us back?” David says “More than anything.” Cheerilee’s and the kids eyes glow and they say “Then make us whole again.” The kids squeeze tighter and tighter. David says “I…can’t….breathe.” Cheerilee says “You want to join us.” “Just hold still my love.” “We’ll be whole soon.” David’s bones start cracking. David screams “AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!” Back to Thunderstorm and Fluttershy. Fluttershy says “His health is dropping!!” Thunderstorm says “Dang it
David.” “Don’t you die on us.” “We’ll be left in the cold!!!” “Fight you sorry excuse for a pony!!!” Twilight says “What is Ratchet doing?” Thunderstorm says “I don’t know.” Ratchet runs towards them and says “Hit the deck!!” He presses a button on a remote. BOOOOOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thunderstorm and the others fall over. Thunderstorm says “Whoa!” “What the buck was that Ratchet?!!!” Ratchet says “I took care of the marker.” “You’re welcome.” Applejack says “You could’ve killed us!!!” Thunderstorm says “Are you bucking insane?!!!” Ratchet says “Maybe.” Thunderstorm says “You ever do that again and I’ll break your spirit.” “Literally!!” Ratchet says “That would be…” SHING!! Thunderstorm’s armor stabs into
the ground an inch from Ratchet’s neck. Thunderstorm’s eyes glow red and he looks in Ratchet’s eyes and says “I dare you to finish that sentence.” Ratchet closes his mouth. Thunderstorm says “Thought so.” SHING!! Thunderstorm pulls his armor out of the ground and walks away from Ratchet. Fluttershy says “David’s health is blinking red!!!” Thunderstorm says “He’ll make it.” “He has to.” In David’s head. David says “Let…..go…….of………me.” Cheerilee smiles. David barely manages to pull out his plasma
cutter. POW!! Sourcan goes down. POW!! POW!! POW!! Beryllee, Sandstorm, and Cheryl go down. David takes in big gulps of air. Cheerilee says “Raaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!” David points the plasma cutter at her. Cheerilee says “You’re going to shoot all of us because you don’t care about us.” “We’re your family and you let us die.” “You cold hearted monster.” Tears go down David’s cheeks and he says “Just….go away!!!” POW!! POW!! POW!! POW!! POW!! POW!! Back to Thunderstorm and
Fluttershy. Fluttershy says “Please.” Thunderstorm says “Wake up.” David’s eyes slowly open and he tries to stand up but falls back down. Fluttershy runs to him and says “David.” David smiles and says “Heh.” “Hey Fluttershy.” Fluttershy kisses and hugs him. Thunderstorm says “Twilight.” Twilight says “I’m on it.” She runs to David and uses a medical kit on him. His health goes back to full. Thunderstorm smiles and says “Thank you Twily.” Twilight smiles and says “Happy to Thunder.” Thunderstorm walks up
to David and says “Cheerilee?” David nods and says “Our kids to.” Thunderstorm says “I wish I could’ve helped you.” David says “I know.” “Ow.” Thunderstorm hits David’s shoulder and says “That’s for scaring all of us.” David smiles and says “Sorry.” Thunderstorm says “I don’t need to lose one of my best friends.” A voice says “Best friend!” “That role is already taken Thunder and you know it.” Thunderstorm says “Firefly?” Firefly smiles and says “Hey Thunder.” Thunderstorm says “Is it really you?” Firefly says
“It’s really me.” “Aint no stupid aliens killing me.” “Not easily that is.” He laughs. Thunderstorm says “Aint that the truth.” They both laugh. They do a secret hand shake then hug. Firefly says “So how is my best friend?” “Still causing trouble wherever he goes I’m guessing.” Thunderstorm says “Pretty much.” They both laugh again. Thunderstorm smiles and says “it’s good to have you back Fire.” Firefly smiles and says “It’s good to have you back to Thunder.” “Is Applejack with yall?” Thunderstorm says “Right
over there partner.” Firefly says “Thanks bro.” Firefly walks to Applejack. Applejack says “Firefly!” She hugs him. Firefly hugs her back and smiles and says “Hey cowgirl.” Applejack says “What about Jam Apple and Applesauce?” Firefly says “We were attacked and….I tried my best but…..ha huh……they’re dead.” “They told me to run.” “That I couldn’t save them.” Tears go down Firefly’s and Applejack’s cheeks. Firefly says “I wanted to stay….to die with them but….I remembered you and I knew I couldn’t
do that to you so I ran….to find you.” “They died fighting cowgirl.” “You’d be proud.” Applejack cries into his chest. Firefly holds her. Thunderstorm looks at them then at Rainbow Dash. She’s rubbing her belly. She looks at him and smiles. He smiles back and thinks “I will do everything to protect her.” “They won’t take my family from me.” End of Chapter 4

Chapter 5 Mommy?
Thunderstorm says “Let’s go.” Thunderstorm’s horn glows and he thinks “Hail.” “Hail come in.” “Hail can you hear me?” “Cousin!” “Please Hail I already lost one cousin.” “I don’t need to lose two.” “Hail!!” Rainbow Dash says “What’s wrong?” Thunderstorm’s horn stops glowing and he says “Nothing.” “Let’s move.” “Fluttershy.” Fluttershy says “What?” Thunderstorm says “Get beside Dashy.” Fluttershy says “Ok.” She gets beside Rainbow Dash. Thunderstorm says “Alright.” “I’ll be in the front of them.” “David I
want you on the right side of them and I want Ratchet on the left of them and I want JT behind them.” “Be on your guard at all times if you’re not and they get hurt or worse…I can’t even explain what I’ll do to you.” “Now move out!” Rainbow Dash says “Something is wrong or Thunder wouldn’t have put us on such high security.” “He’s not telling us something.” Fluttershy says “I’d rather not know anyway.” “I just want this nightmare to end.” “So many ponies are dead and dying.” “I just want it to end.” David says
“We all do Fluttershy.” He wraps his wing around her and says “We all do.” Thunderstorm says “Back in formation!!” David says “Sorry jeez.” A voice says “Help…me…..please.” Thunderstorm says “Yall stay here.” “I’ll check it out.” He walks away. David says “He really shouldn’t walk off on his own like that.” Twilight says “Thunder knows what he’s doing for a situation like this.” “Don’t worry.” David says “Ok if you say so.” Where Thunderstorm is. Thunderstorm walks up to a mare lying on ground. Thunderstorm
says “Hang on.” “I can heal you.” The mare says “No…no you can’t.” She opens her hoofs revealing a filly. Thunderstorm says “You’re a mother.” The mare nods. Tears going down her cheeks and she says “Take good care of her King Thunderstorm….please.” She kisses the filly on top of its head. Thunderstorm says “No.” “Let me heal you please.” The mare lays her head down and says “You’re already too late.” “Take…good…..care……..of…………..her.” The mare’s eyes slowly go lifeless. The filly
looks at her and says “Mommy?” Thunderstorm closes his eyes tight. Tears pouring out and he says “No.” The filly says “Mommy look at me.” “Mommy?” Thunderstorm looks at the filly and says “Mommy is sleeping sweetie.” “Let her rest.” “I’m going to keep you safe while mommy rests ok?” The filly says “Ok.” Thunderstorm says “Get on my back sweetie.” The filly hops onto his back. Thunderstorm walks away. The filly says “Bye mommy.” Thunderstorm stops and looks back at her then continues walking.
Where the others are. Thunderstorm walks up and says “T….Twilight.” Twilight walks up to him and says “What is it Thunder?” Thunderstorm says “Could you take this filly please.” Twilight says “Sure Thunder.” Thunderstorm levitates the filly onto Twilight’s back. The filly says “B…But I thought you were…” Thunderstorm says “Let’s go everypony.” 3 miles later. Twilight walks up beside Thunderstorm and says “Thunder.” Thunderstorm says “What?” Twilight says “She wants to be with you.” “I don’t
know what happened or why she’s here because all she’ll say to me is I want Thunderstorm.” Thunderstorm stops walking and says “I found Scootaloo dead.” “My own daughter.” “I don’t need another and I sure as hay aint her daddy.” The filly is shaking on Twilight’s back. Twilight looks at her then at Thunderstorm and says “Please Thunder.” Thunderstorm looks at the filly and says “Fine.” “Get on kid.” The filly jumps onto his back and hugs his neck shaking. Thunderstorm sighs and says “Let’s go.”
5 miles later. The filly says “Where’s mommy?” Thunderstorm says “Mommy isn’t coming sweetie.” The filly says “Why?” “Did I do something?” Thunderstorm stops walking and says “No sweetie….you did nothing.” “Mommy loves you very much and she’s waiting for you somewhere very nice and wonderful.” “You’ll see her again one day.” “I promise.” The filly says “Ok.” Tears go down her cheeks. Thunderstorm stops walking and says “Ok.” “We’ve been walking and dealing with a lot of crap for awhile
now.” “We should stop and get some rest.” David says “I wouldn’t sleep with Necromorphs around. Thunderstorm says “We’ll be fine.” “They’re not in this area.” David says “Right now they aint.” Thunderstorm says “We’ll be fine.” David says “Ook.” Thunderstorm lies up against a tree. Rainbow Dash lies down against the tree beside him. She closes her eyes and goes to sleep. Thunderstorm closes his eyes. The filly snuggles into him. Thunderstorm opens his eyes and looks at her in shock. She closes
her eyes and smiles. Thunderstorm smiles and says “Night angel.” He closes his eyes and goes to sleep. End of Chapter 5

Chapter 6 The Light of Day
Rarity opens her eyes and sees Bon Bon standing a few feet away. Bon Bon slowly falls in half. Rarity screams “aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!” Everypony jumps awake. Thunderstorm and David says “What’s wrong?” Rarity points to Bon Bon. David says “Oooh bit.” Thunderstorm says “What the buck?” A creature runs at Twilight. She screams “aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!” David catches it’s scythe and stabs it into its own body and slices up. SHING!! SHING!! Thunderstorm spins around and cuts it in half. It falls
down dead. Thunderstorm says “What was that?” David says “A Twitcher.” “They’re quite dangerous so….yeah.” “We should get out of here before more show up.” Thunderstorm says “You heard the pony.” “Let’s move out.” “Back into formation.” Rarity says “Do you really think we’ll find any survivors?” Thunderstorm says “I hope so.” Rarity says “Can I stay near you?” “I’m scared.” Thunderstorm says “Of course Rare.” “Let’s move!” 5 miles later. Applejack says “Are you ok now
partner?” “No more of them hallucinations?” Thunderstorm says “I don’t know.” Applejack says “I couldn’t even imagine what it’s like to have your own mother try to kill ya.” Thunderstorm says “AJ please.” “I don’t want to talk about it.” Applejack says “Sorry partner.” Thunderstorm says “It’s ok AJ.” A voice says “Son.” “My son.” Thunderstorm stops walking and says “N…No.” “Not again.” Luna appears in front of him and says “Hello son.” Thunderstorm starts to stumble and says “M…Mother.” Applejack
grabs him and says “Don’t fall partner.” Thunderstorm says “Mother…” His eyes close. David says “Whether he hits the ground or not makes no difference.” “He’ll still enter the hallucination.” The filly says “Thunderstorm?” Applejack says “He’ll be fine little buckaroo.” “You’ll see.” In Thunderstorm’s head. Thunderstorm says “Get away from me!!” Luna says “Why do you want me to leave you son?” Thunderstorm says “You’re not my mother!!” Luna says “How could you say that?” “Do you not love
me?” “Is that why it was so easy for you to let me die?” “To not hear my screams for my own son to help me…..to save me.” Tears go down Thunderstorm’s cheeks and he says “aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!” “Get away from meeeeeeeee!!!” “Stop it.” “Stop it please.” “I’m sorry….I’m so sorry.” “Mother.” He falls to his knees crying. Luna walks up to him. Her eyes glowing and she says “Join me my son.” “Walk into the light with me.” Light appears behind her. Thunderstorm says
“I…..” Luna says “I miss you son.” “Please come with me.” “Make us whole.” Thunderstorm says “I….I….Mother…..” Back to David and Applejack. Applejack says “Whoa!” “Whoa!” “His health is dropping and it’s dropping fast!!” David says “Oh bit.” The filly says “Thunderstorm?” Rainbow Dash says “Thunder….please…make it.” Pinkie Pie says “Oh here comes some more of those sword guys.” David says “What?” “Ooooh buck.” “That’s Twitchers Pinkie.” Pinkie Pie says “I know.” 5 more join them. David
says “We’re screwed.” One heads straight for Rainbow Dash. Rainbow Dash’s eyes go wide. SHING!! Thunderstorm appears in front of her. His eyes glowing red. His armor clashed against the Twitchers scythe. Thunderstorm says “Don’t…touch….her.” SHING!! SHING!! SHING!! SHING!! It falls down in pieces. One heads for the filly. Thunderstorm’s eyes turn blank. SHING!! SHING!! SHING!! SHING!! SHING!! SHING!! SHING!! SHING!!. It falls in tiny pieces. Storm clouds form in the sky. Thunderstorm says “Families, fillies, mares, you kill them all and I’m….tired…..of……it.” “Ha huh.” David says “Stand back everypony.” Thunderstorm says “You…even…killed….this…..ones……..mother!!!” “AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!” BOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! POW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! CRACKLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The ground shakes and cracks. Thunderstorm goes through
them like some graceful dance of death. They all fall down dead. Thunderstorm says “Nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn…nnnnn..nnnnnnnnnnn.” David says “Uh…you ok Thunder?!” Thunderstorm’s eyes focus and he says “Yeah….fine.” “Ha huh.” “Ha huh.” Thunderstorm walks back to them and says “You ok Dashy?” Rainbow Dash kisses him and smiles and says “I’m fine thanks to you.” “Like always.” Thunderstorm smiles back. The little filly says “You….protected me?” Thunderstorm says “Yes I did kid.”
The little filly says “You got that mad over me?” Thunderstorm says “You were most of it yes.” The little filly says “Mommy is dead?” Thunderstorm says “I should’ve told you straight off but yes she is.” “I’m sorry I didn’t tell you sooner kid.” The little filly says “You got that mad over me.” Thunderstorm says “We better move.” “We don’t know if…” “Oof.” He looks down. The little filly is hugging his hoof. Tears going down her cheeks. Thunderstorm says “Why are you crying sweetie?” The little filly looks up at him
and says “I have a daddy.” Thunderstorm says “I….I….uh….” He looks into her light blue eyes and sighs and says “Yes you do sweetie.” She hugs his hoof tighter and smiles wider. Thunderstorm says “Hop on my back sweetie.” She hops onto is back and hugs his neck. Thunderstorm says “What’s your name sweetie?” The little filly says “Dia De Los Muertos.” Thunderstorm says “Oh Luna.” Everypony stares at her. She says “What?” “What’s wrong?” Twilight says “Nothing.” Thunderstorm says “Let’s just get walking.” End of Chapter 6

Chapter 7 United We Stand
Thunderstorm says “Your name is Dia De Los Muerto?!” Dia De Los Muerto says “Yeah.” “Why?” Thunderstorm says “That means the day of the dead sweetie.” Dia De Los Muerto says “I know.” “So?” David says “Oh bit.” “What kind of Hell are we in?” Thunderstorm says “This is Equestria.” “This is our home.” “My kingdom and I dare you to call it Hell again.” David says “Sorry.” Thunderstorm says “This is our home and we aint going to lose it.” “I refuse to lose it!!” “And you do to or you wouldn’t be here.”
“We are a family.” “Ponies united and together we will take our home back.” David says “Dimensia is killing you and me.” Thunderstorm says “I don’t care damn it!!!” “We are going to fight!!!” “And we are going to win!!!” “We have never quit before!!!” “And we’re not going to start now!!!!” “I believe in us all and I won’t give up on family.” “I won’t give up on our home.”. The girls smile and hug Thunderstorm and say “We won’t either.” Twilight says “Let’s do this.” Applejack says “Yeah.” Rarity says “Quite.”
Pinkie Pie says “Wahooo!” Fluttershy says “Um….yeah.” Rainbow Dash says “Let’s rock em.” David says “Let’s do this.” Ratchet says “Yeah.” JT says “Let’s kill some bastards.”. Thunderstorm smiles and says “I knew yall weren’t quitters.” “Especially you Dashy.” She kisses him and says “Thanks Thunder.” Thunderstorm says “Happy to Dashy.” Thunderstorm looks at the forest. A human walks out of it. Holding his arm and limping. David’s eyes go wide and he says “Isaac?!” Isaac says “Do I know you?” David says “Uh…no but I know
you.” Isaac says “Whatever.” “I need medical attention…please.” Thunderstorm says “Human.” “What are you doing in my kingdom?” “In my world?!!” Isaac says “I…I don’t know.” “I woke up here.” “At first I thought it was the marker but it would’ve passed by now if it was.” “I don’t know.” David says “He knows even more about Necromorphs than me.” “We need him.” Thunderstorm says “I don’t need any humans help.” A large creature steps out from the forest. David says “Oooh bit.” “A Brute.” “Just great.”
The Brute charges at Thunderstorm. They clash strengths. Each one trying to hold the other back.POW!! POW!! David shoots it’s legs and arms off. POW!!!!!!!!! Fluttershy and Isaac shoot its head off. Thunderstorm says “Thank you David and Fluttershy.” “I didn’t need your help human.” Isaac says “You got it anyway.” Thunderstorm looks him in his eyes and says “You don’t know what your messing with and it’s never smart to go somewhere blind so I’d shut up if I were you human.” Thunderstorm’s eyes
glow red and he walks away from Isaac. David says “Yeah.” “I wouldn’t mess with him Isaac.” “Trust me.” Twilight gives Isaac a med kit and says “Thunder hates and I mean hates humans so I’d stay away from him if I were you.” Isaac says “Why does he hate humans?” David says “He only sees the imperfection of humans so as far as he’s concerned.” “Humans need to be wiped out completely.” Isaac says “Does he see his own imperfection?” David says “Yes.” Isaac says “Oh….I’ll stay away…for now.”
David says “Ok good.” “For now?!” Isaac walks away. Twilight says “Oh boy.” Thunderstorm says “Dia De Los Muerto.” Dia De Los Muerto says “What daddy?” Thunderstorm says “What did you mean I have a daddy?” “Don’t you have one sweetie?” Dia De Los Muerto says “Nope.” “Only had….mommy.” Tears go down her cheeks. Thunderstorm stops walking and says “Your mother was beautiful.” Dia De Los Muerto says “Sniffle.” “She was.” Thunderstorm says “She raised you on her own and did a great job and now it’s my turn to raise you.” “My little girl.” “I will keep you safe and I will look after you.” “I promise.” He smiles at her and says “I love you sweetie.” Dia De Los Muerto smiles back and says “I love you to daddy.” She hugs his neck and says “Thank you.” Thunderstorm says “You don’t have to thank me sweetie.” Dia De Los Muerto says “I know.” “I want to.” Thunderstorm smiles even more and kisses the top of her head. She blushes and giggles and says “Daaaaddyyyy.” Thunderstorm says “Sorry sweetie.”
“Your shining light blue eyes just get to my heart.” “I love you so much.” “You are my daughter Dia De Los Muerto.” Dia De Los Muerto smiles even more and says “I love you so much to.” “You are my dad Thunderstorm Rising.” Thunderstorm says “How did you find out my last name?” Dia De Los Muerto says “Rainbow Dash told me.” Thunderstorm says “Don’t be doing that.” “Using my own wife against me like that.” “Girl.” “That aint cool.” She giggles and says “Daddy stop it.” Thunderstorm says “Ok sweetie.” “Let’s move out!” End of Chapter 7
Deadstria
Chapter 8 A New Plan
Isaac walks up beside Thunderstorm. Thunderstorm says “Get away human.” Isaac says “I realize you don’t like me but look around at your world.” “It is being torn apart and I’m one of the only ones who can help you.” “We need to work together or you’ll lose everything.” “Including her.” He points to Rainbow Dash. Thunderstorm looks at her. She smiles at him. Thunderstorm looks at Isaac and says “Ok Isaac…you win.” Isaac says “I lost the one I loved.” “I don’t want to see that happen again.” “So first tell
me who you are?” Thunderstorm says “I’am king Thunderstorm Rising.” “The son of Princess Luna and the Dark King Darkstar.” “I’am the king of both Equestria and Dark Pony Territory.” “I’am also the protector of Equestria.” Isaac says “Then I’ve met the right pony.” “We need to take out their markers in order to save your planet.” David says “We’re trying to find survivors.” Isaac says “Any survivor will be killed before you find them.” “It’s hopeless to try to find one.” “We need to strike now.” Thunderstorm
says “It won’t be easy to get there.” “It’s all the way out there somewhere outside of the Crystal Empire and that’s pretty far away.” David says “Yeah.” “We got a lot of miles to cover.” Isaac says “Let’s move then.” Thunderstorm says “You heard him!” “Move!!” 4 miles later. Isaac says “Have any of you had any hallucinations?” Thunderstorm and David raise their hoofs. Isaac says “I have it to.” “Just keep fighting it and you’ll…” A small creature jumps onto Isaac’s back and starts tearing at him. He screams
“aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!” SHING!! SHING!! Thunderstorm cuts its head off and cuts it in half. It falls off of Isaac. Isaac says “Thanks.” Thunderstorm says “Don’t mention it.” David says “A pack which means…” More jump out of the trees. David says “…There’s more!!” “Oh bit!!” Thunderstorm says “Isn’t that Cheryl, Berryllee, Sandstorm, and Sourcan?” David says “No.” “It’s just their bodies.” They jump on Isaac and tear at him. Thunderstorm says “Shoot!!” “Shoot!!” “Shoot dame it!!!” David says “I’am
shooting!!!” Thunderstorm pulls out his plasma cutter and aims at Cheryl’s head. POW!!! She falls off of Isaac and crawls towards him. POW!! POW!! POW!! POW!! He shoots her arms and legs off. She stops moving. David says “There…I got them.” Isaac’s health bar blinks red. Thunderstorm says “Don’t you have some med kits?” Isaac says “No…I used….them all.” Thunderstorm says “Oh.” He hoofs Isaac a med kit. Isaac uses it and says “Thanks…again.” Thunderstorm says “Don’t mention it…again.” They both
laugh. David says “How can you both be laughing at a time like this?!!” Thunderstorm says “Good point.” David smiles and says “Thank you.” Isaac says We…need…to…..keep……..moving.” BOOM!!! He faints. David says “Uh oh.” Thunderstorm says “Ah buck.” Sweetie Belle says “Is that Scootaloo?” They all look. Scootaloo runs out of the bushes and stops in front of Thunderstorm. Thunderstorm says “N…No.” “Not my little girl.” “They already killed her…they didn’t have to do this to her.” Tears appear in his eyes.
Scootaloo says “Raaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!” She runs at him. Thunderstorm holds her out at hoofs length. She swats at him. Thunderstorm says “My little girl.” Rainbow Dash says “It’s not her anymore Thunder.” “Put her body to rest.” Tears go down his cheeks and he says “But it’s our daughter.” Rainbow Dash says “It was our daughter.” “Our daughter is dead she deserves to have her body be at rest.” “Please Thunder.” Thunderstorm says “I’m so sorry baby girl.” SHING!! He cuts her in half. She falls down dead. Thunderstorm closes his eyes tight. Tears pouring out. Rainbow Dash hugs him. Tears in her eyes. David says “I had to kill my own children and you don’t see me crying.” SMACK!! Fluttershy smacks him. David rubs his cheek and says “Ow.” “I’ll shut up.” Fluttershy looks at Thunderstorm and Rainbow Dash. Twilight says “I always pictured seeing Scootaloo doing professional stunts one day and wowing everypony.” “Heh.” “Seeing her smiling as the crowd is awed by her amazing
stunts.” “Thunder and Rainbow Cheering her on from the stands.” Applejack smiles and says “Heh…yeah.” “I always pictured working side by side with Applebloom on the farm.” “Laughing and cutting up.” “Just havin a real great time.” “Being introduced to her stallion and bein an aunt.” “That will never happen now.” “I can still hear her giggle.” “It haunts my dreams.” Twilight says “Thunder told me that Scootaloo’s haunts his.” “You’re not alone.” “Applejack says “I know.” Isaac wakes up and says
“Wow.” “I hate demensia.” David says “We all do.” Isaac says “What happened here?” David says “Don’t ask.” “Let’s just move on.” Isaac says “Ok.” They all follow Isaac except for Thunderstorm. He kisses Scootaloo’s cheek and says “I love you baby girl.” “I hope you can hear me.” He catches up to the others. Her body catches on fire. End of chapter 8

Chapter 9 A Broken Heart
Everypony looks at Thunderstorm as they walk. Thunderstorm keeps walking. Staring forward. Rainbow Dash says “Thunder…are you ok?” Thunderstorm keeps walking. Rainbow Dash says “Thunder please answer me.” Thunderstorm looks at her then looks forward again and keeps walking. Rainbow Dash says “Oh my gosh.” Isaac says “I know that look.” “Don’t do it!” Thunderstorm stops walking and says “This world is not Equestria anymore.” “It’s Hell.” “Our world is dying and I can’t live in a place like this.” Tears
go down his cheeks and he says “My first and only daughter is dead….and she just tried to kill me.” “My own mother tries to kill me.” “Ha huh.” “No.” “Don’t tell me not to do it because I’m done.” “I can’t take it anymore.” “I want to see Scootaloo smiling again.” “I want to feel mother hugging me again.” He closes his eyes tight. Tears pouring out. Storm clouds form over him. David says “What is going on?!” Isaac says “He’s going to kill himself with lightning.” “He’s given up.” David says “N…No!” Tears go down
Rainbow Dash’s cheeks and she says “Thunderstorm please don’t…don’t leave me.” “Don’t leave us.” She rubs her stomach. Thunderstorm looks at her and says “I love you Dashy.” “I’m sure I’ll see you both soon.” Rainbow Dash says “Please.” “We can still save Equestria.” Twilight says “It’s never too late.” Rarity says “Please stick by us.” Applejack says “We’ve stuck by you partner.” “It’s only right that you do the same.” Pinkie Pie says “I made you some cupcakes.” “Please don’t go Thundy.” Fluttershy walks up
to Thunderstorm and says “After all the years you’ve looked after me.” “You’re just going to leave me?” Thunderstorm says “You don’t need me anymore.” “You have David.” “Don’t you get it?” “I’m the King of Equestria.” “I was responsible for keeping all the lives that are dead now alive.” “I was supposed to protect them but they’re all dead.” “We’re all that’s left.” “I couldn’t even protect my own daughter.” “I’m done Flutter.” Fluttershy says “So you’re just going to leave me and Rainbow Dash and your own
unborn baby to die?” “I thought you cared about us?” Tears go down Fluttershy’s cheeks and she says “I thought you cared about me and everypony else.” Thunderstorm says “I do.” Fluttershy says “Then don’t leave us….please.” A creature walks out of the forest. David says “Oh crap an Ubermorph!” It runs at Dia De Los Muerto. SHING!! It’s claw hits Thunderstorm’s armor. Dia De Los Muerto looks up at Thunderstorm and smiles. Thunderstorm says “You’ve taken enough.” “You won’t take her!!!” SHING!!!
He cuts the claw off. The Ubermorph screams “Raaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!” Thunderstorm says “David!” “Isaac!” “Shoot the rest of its arms off!” POW!! POW!! David and Isaac shoot them off. It screams again “Raaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!” SHING!! SHING!! SHING!! SHING!! SHING!! SHING!! SHING!! The thing falls into pieces. Dead. Thunderstorm kneels down in front of Dia De Los Muerto and says “Are you ok sweetie?” She hugs him and says “I’m fine daddy.” “Thank you.” Thunderstorm smiles and says “Happy
to sweetie.” Isaac says “You see.” “You do still have something to live for.” David says “You do still have a daughter.” “You’re hugging her right now.” Isaac walks up between Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash and says “They were in your head to when you were killing that thing weren’t they?” Thunderstorm says “Of course.” Isaac says “A beautiful pregnant wife, a beautiful sister, and a pretty daughter.” “Can you really leave?” Thunderstorm looks at Dia De Los Muerto. She smiles at him. Her beautiful light blue eyes shining at him. Thunderstorm smiles back and says “No…No I can’t.” She hugs him tight. Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy run over and hug him to. Thunderstorm stands up with Dia De Los Muerto on his back and looks at her, Fluttershy, and Rainbow Dash and says “My family.” “You are the strongest part of me.” “Thank you for keeping me alive.” They all says “Awwwww.” And hug him. Isaac says “You said he’s a Dark King right?” David says “Yep.” Isaac says “Are you sure that you know what a Dark King is?” David says “You haven’t seen what we’ve seen.”
“Trust me.” “He fits the title.” Isaac says “but he’s not evil.” David says “It’s very complicated ok.” “I can’t explain it.” “Let’s just move on.” Isaac says “Ok.” 4 months later. Rainbow Dash is lying up against a tree holding hers and Thunderstorm’s baby. Twilight says “Awwwwww.” “It’s a girl.” Thunderstorm smiles and says “What do you want to name her?” Rainbow Dash smiles and says “Rain.” “Rainstorm.” Thunderstorm says “Perfect.” Rarity says “She’s so cute.” “Goochy goochy goo.” Rain giggles. Applejack
says “I still can’t believe that Fluttershy is 4 months pregnant.” Fluttershy blushes. David says “Still as beautiful as the first day I saw her.” Fluttershy kisses his cheek and smiles. Isaac looks at them all and smiles and says “There is hope.” Thunderstorm gives Rainbow Dash a long kiss and smiles and says “I love you Dashy.” “Thank you for this wonderful gift.” Rainbow Dash smiles and says “Thank you to.” Thunderstorm says “For what?” Rainbow Dash says “For being here.” She kisses him. He kisses her back.
Isaac says “Uh….it’s time to move!” “We got about three Ubermorphs heading this way!!” Thunderstorm levitates Rainbow Dash onto his back then Rain into a small crib that’s on Rainbow Dash’s back and says “Let’s go.” Isaac says “Your strength is ridiculous.” David says “We know.” “Now run!!” End of Chapter 9

Chapter 10 The Flames of a True Brother
Firefly says “Yall keep going!” “I’ll slow em down!” Applejack says “The hay you will!” POW!! Applejack falls down knocked out. Thunderstorm stands behind her. Firefly looks at him. They shake hoofs. Thunderstorm levitates Applejack onto Ratchet’s back then looks at Firefly and says “I love you brother.” Firefly says “I love you to brother.” “Now go.” Thunderstorm nods and they all take off. Firefly pulls out his plasma cutter and says “I aint going down without a fight.” “Bring it you son of bitches.” “I’ll show
you just what a country stallion can do.” The Ubermorphs says “Raaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!” 30 miles from where Firefly is. Thunderstorm and the others have stopped to catch their breath. Ratchet says “She’s….breaking my…..back.” Thunderstorm says “Really?” “Be a stallion Ratchet.” Ratchet says “I don’t have amazing strength that came from a Dark King father!” Thunderstorm says “You still have strength!!” “You’re a stallion for crying out loud!!” “Stop being a mare.” The girls look at Thunderstorm.
Thunderstorm says “Name one mare that can lift as much as me.” The girls look away. Thunderstorm says “Exactly.” “Now stop being a mare and stallion up.” Ratchet says “Since you’re so strong why don’t you carry her?” Thunderstorm says “Because she’s probably going to jump awake and I have a baby on my back.” “Think man!!” Ratchet says “Then we’ll take turns.” “JT.” “You carry her now.” JT says “I don’t want to carry her.” Thunderstorm says “Twilight.” Twilight looks at JT. JT says “Yes ma’am.” “Let me see
her.” Ratchet levitates her onto JT’s back. JT says “Wow she’s heavy.” Thunderstorm says “We’ll she is the strongest mare you’ll ever find.” “Which is nowhere close to my strength.” “I love who my parents are.” David says “Oh buck.” BOOM!! He Faints. Thunderstorm says “Oh come on.” “We really don’t need this right now.” In David’s head. David looks around and sighs and says “Let’s get this over with.” A voice says “Is that all this is to you?” “A get this over with moment.” David turns around and says
“Applebloom!!” “What the hay are you doing here?!!” Applebloom says “You were like an uncle to me uncle David.” David smiles and says “Thank you Applebloom.” Applebloom says “So why did you let me die?” “I cried out for you and Applejack.” “Neither one of you came.” Tears go down her cheeks and she says “And I died.” “Those things….killed me.” David says “I wanted to come for you but there was no time.” “I’m sorry.” Applebloom walks up to him and hugs him. David kneels down and hugs her back.
Cheerilee appears behind him. Her eyes glowing. Applebloom’s eyes start glowing and she squeezes tighter on David’s neck. He grabs her hoofs and tries to pry them open. Cheerilee pulls out a needle. Where Thunderstorm and the others are. Thunderstorm says “Why is he choking himself and holding a needle with his tail?” Isaac says “You should know by now.” Thunderstorm says “I was joking.” Isaac says “Well don’t.” Thunderstorm says “Sorry.” “Jeez.” Back inside of David’s head. He pries Applebloom’s
hoofs open and throws her across the blackness then quickly spins around and stops the needle. Cheerilee smiles and pushes harder. The needle is one inch from David’s eye. He says “N…No.” “No!!” He kicks her in the stomach and takes the needle from her and jabs it between her eyes. She stumbles backwards then falls down dead. Everything goes white. Back to where Thunderstorm and the others are. David’s eyes slowly open and he says “Oooh.” “That never gets any easier.” Thunderstorm hoofs him a med kit and says “Your health is blinking red.” “You need this bad.” David takes it and says “Thanks.” Thunderstorm says “Just looking after my brother-in-law.” David says “Brother-in-law?” Thunderstorm says “Well you are going to marry Fluttershy aren’t you?” David says “Of course.” Thunderstorm says “Well she’s my sister so you’re my brother-in-law.” David says “Oh.” “Duh.” “Cool!!” Thunderstorm says “I’ll marry yall once this whole mess is over.” David says “What if we don’t make it?”
Thunderstorm says “I’ll make sure you both make it don’t worry.” David says “What about you?” Thunderstorm says “If I don’t make it then Dashy can marry yall.” “Just know that you both have my blessing.” David says “…..Thank you.” Thunderstorm says “Don’t mention it.” “Let’s move out ponies!!” Isaac says “You heard the stallion.” “Move it!!” “We don’t got time to waste.” “We need to be fast.” Fluttershy walks up to David and says “What’s wrong?” David says “I don’t think Thunder plans on
surviving this.” Fluttershy says “Oh my.” “We got to tell Rainbow Dash.” David says “No.” “We don’t know for sure and there’s no reason to start something like that unless we’re sure.” Fluttershy says “But how can we be sure before it’s too late?” David says “We can’t.” Fluttershy says “He can’t die.” Tears go down her cheeks and she says “I already lost Angel….he was like a son to me.” “I don’t need to lose my brother to.” David wraps a wing around her and says “Don’t get upset.” “We don’t know for sure yet.” “I’ll find out in time.” “I promise.” They kiss then catch up to the others.

What we do now decides everything. We cannot fail. We cannot mess up. We cannot lose. We must win. We must take our home back. We must….fight. Where Thunderstorm and the others are. Thunderstorm screams “Fire faster!!!” David says “I’m trying!!!” Isaac says “I hate these dame things so much.” Twilight says “They’re Twitchers right?” David says “Yep.” “A whole truck load of them!!!” Thunderstorm says “No.” “Firefly did not die for nothing.” Thunderstorm levitates the baby and Rainbow
Dash off his back and stops running. JT picks up Rainbow Dash and keeps running. Rarity picks up Rain and keeps running. Thunderstorm faces the Twitchers. David and Isaac stand beside him. Thunderstorm says “How many do you count?” David says “30.” Isaac says “Me too.” “There was 40 but we shot them.” Thunderstorm says “Run.” “Catch up to the others.” David says “What?!!” Isaac says “I’m not leaving anyone to die.” Thunderstorm says “I won’t die.” “I’ll catch up once I’m done.” “Now go.” David
says “Your lying.” “I can tell.” “Not even you can handle that many Twitchers.” Isaac says “He’s right.” “Think Thunderstorm.” Thunderstorm says “Go now.” “That’s an order not a request.” “I’am the king of Equestria and you will do what I say.” David says “N…No.” Isaac says “I’m not from Equestria.” “You have no power over me.” The wind picks up and Thunderstorm says “I said go!!!” The wind blows Isaac and David far away from Thunderstorm. They quickly stand up in time to the see the crowd of Twitchers
engulf Thunderstorm. David says “No.” Isaac says “The only pony that I’ve ever respected is now dead.” “Great.” “Just great!” “Without him we’re dead anyway!!” “None of us could hold a Brute in place like he did!!” “For the others to shoot its arms and legs off!!” “And the way he made it so easy to kill an Ubermorph.” “And that little girl.” “She’s already had to lose her mother.” “What are we going to tell her?” David says “Nothing.” “We don’t know for sure yet that he’s actually dead.” “Come on.” “We’ll tell the others what he said.” “That he’ll
show up when he’s done.” Isaac says “Ok.” They reach the others. Rainbow Dash says “Where’s Thunderstorm?” David says “He said he’d catch up once he was done with the Twitchers.” Rainbow Dash says “You left him alone to face 30 Twitchers!!!” Applejack says “They’ll kill him!!” Rainbow Dash starts crying and says “I know he’s dead…I know it.” She starts crying worse. Twilight says “How could you…just leave him like that?” David says “We had no choice.” Isaac says “He sent us flying back with
wind.” David says “We tried to stay but he wouldn’t let us.” Rarity says “Curse his stubbornness.” Tears go down Fluttershy’s cheeks and she says “My…brother.” She starts crying. David wraps a wing around her. She pushes him away and says “Get away from me!!” She breaks down crying. Isaac says “Don’t worry.” “She’s just upset right now.” “She’ll calm down.” “Give her time.” David says “I promised her I find out in time.” “She’s more than mad at me.” “I let her brother die and I broke a promise.” Isaac says
“Like you said.” “We don’t know for sure yet.” David says “I hope he’s alive or I may have lost Fluttershy forever.” Isaac says “They’re pretty close huh?” David says “He’s been a big brother to her since they were 13.” “Yeah.” “They’re pretty close is a understatement.” Isaac says “He’ll show up.” “You’ll see.” “I can already tell that he’s not one to die that easily.” David says “With him…you never really know.” “He could be dead and he could not be.” “He’s unpredictable.” Isaac says “All good leaders are.” David says “He gave us his blessing for getting married but I may have done something unforgivable.” Isaac says “Give him time.” “He’ll show up.” Ratchet pulls out a map and says “I made a secondary plan incase Thunderstorm did end up dead.” “We can still save Equestria but it’s going to be a lot harder.” JT says “Really?” “You’re pulling that out now?” Ratchet says “Like Isaac said.” “We need to move fast.” “There’s no time for grieving right now.” Rainbow Dash stops crying and her eyes are cold. She stands up more straight and
says “He’s right.” “Thunder did not die for nothing and we are wasting time.” “Let’s take Equestria back for him and everypony else that has died.” “I won’t let him die in vain!!” Ratchet nods at her and says “Let’s go.” Fluttershy says “I…I…can’t move.” “I don’t want to leave him.” JT picks her up and says “We’re not leaving you.” Fluttershy says “Thank you.” JT says “No problem.” David levitates Dia De Los Muerto onto his back. She looks back towards where Thunderstorm and the Twitchers are and says “Daddy.” Tears go down her cheeks. She closes her eyes tight. Tears pouring out. Isaac looks back to and says “You better show up soon or we’re all dead.” End of Chapter 11

Chapter 12 Dark is Light and Light is Dark
In a world so cold and full of evil one shutters at the thought of our king being dead. Who will lead us? Who will help us? Who will….protect us? David yells “Run faster!!” Rainbow Dash yells “I’m trying!!” “I recently gave birth thank you!!” David says “You’re falling behind!!” “Run faster!!” Isaac says “Dame Ubermorphs.” He keeps shooting at them as he runs. Rainbow Dash says “I’m not going to make it.” “Just go on without me!!” David says “No.” Isaac says “Go!!!” He pushes David forward. They run off.
Rainbow Dash faces the Ubermorphs and says “Thunderstorm…I’ll see you soon my love.” BOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!! POW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Lightning strikes the ground in front of Rainbow Dash. She closes her eyes from the flash and opens them to see Thunderstorm standing in front of her. She looks at him in shock. He smiles at her and says “Did somepony say my name?” Thunderstorm’s eyes turn blank and he smiles at the Ubermorphs and says “Show time.” The Ubermorphs freeze. SHING!!!! SHING!! SHING!!
SHING!! SHING!!! SHING!! SHING!! SHING!! All three fall into pieces. Thunderstorm’s eyes focus and he walks up to Rainbow Dash and says “Now darlin.” “You didn’t really believe that I was going to leave a beautiful mare like you alone did you?” “You roped this cowboy and he aint going anywhere.” Rainbow Dash smiles and hugs and kisses him. Where the others are. Isaac lays on the ground hurt. David lays a few feet away hurt also. Fluttershy is up against a tree. A Twitcher brings it’s scythe back. SHING!!
SHING!! SHING!! The Twitcher’s head falls off then his stomach and then his thighs. Fluttershy looks in shock and says “Thun…derstorm?” Rainbow Dash sits down beside Fluttershy smiling. David and Isaac watch him in shock. David says “He’s….alive.” Isaac smiles and says “I…knew it.” Thunderstorm walks to the middle of all the chaos. Thunderstorm says “The son of light and dark breathes again.” “Let darkness fall!!!” Thunderstorm’s eyes glow completely red. The ground covers with darkness. Isaac says “What
the hell?” David says “Wow.” Another more deep voice comes out of Thunderstorm and says “Past kings of the Dark Pony Empire.” “We are here to serve!!!” Darkness shoots up from the ground and takes pony shapes. Soon they look completely like a real pony. Thunderstorm’s eyes go back to normal and he looks at the kings of Dark Pony past and says “Welcome my ancestors.” “Please help us.” The kings look at each other then take off attacking the Necromorphs. A voice says “You can’t win my son.” “You will
die.” Thunderstorm turns around and looks her in her eyes and says “I’m not scared of you.” “in fact I’ve been waiting for you to come back.” SHING!! Luna’s eyes go wide. Thunderstorm smiles and says “So I can make you suffer.” He cuts her stomach open. Crimson red blood and organs pour out. Blood pours out her mouth and she falls down dead. She slowly disappears. The darkness and the kings disappear. Thunderstorm looks around. All the Necromorphs are dead. Thunderstorm smiles. Isaac says “What the
Hell is he?” David says “The controller of light and dark.” “Oh and the son of Princess Luna and the Dark King Darkstar.” “Ruler of all Darkponies and he’s the son of Equestria also.” “He has on very short, and small white hair on his back that shows it.” Isaac says “Has he ever been killed?” David says “Multiple times actually.” “We’ve just brought him back because we love him so much and we need him.” All the girls hug Thunderstorm. Thunderstorm smiles and hugs them back and says “I missed you all to.” Dia De Los Muerto hops onto his back and hugs his neck tight. Tears going down her cheeks. Thunderstorm says “I’m so sorry sweetie.” “I know it must have been horrible for you but I’m back now.” “Daddy isn’t going anywhere.” Dia De Los Muerto smiles and kisses his cheek and says “I love you daddy.” Thunderstorm kisses her cheek and says “I love you to midget.” She giggles and says “Daddy stop it.” Thunderstorm says “No.” Dia De Los Muerto says “Daddy.” Thunderstorm smiles and says “Ok sweetheart.” “Come on everypony!!” “Let’s move out!!” “We got a lot of ground to cover and no time to waste.” End of Chapter 12

Chapter 13 The Light and Dark Son
David says “How did you survive all those Twitchers?” Thunderstorm says “I nearly didn’t.” “It was the Rager spirit that saved me.” David says “You went Rager.” “That explains it.” Thunderstorm says “I’am the son of dark and light.” “The true form of Equestria’s might.” “I’m not about to be killed by these things.” Isaac says “What do you mean son?” Thunderstorm says “I control dark and light like I do Thunderstorm’s because I’am the Hero of Light.” “The destined protector of Equestria.” “I’m the first
and only Hero of Light ever born but I’m from a kind known as protectors and it’s in our blood to protect and die for Equestria.” “We can’t help it.” Isaac says “Wow.” “Anything else I should know?” Thunderstorm says “I could set you on fire just by looking at you.” “I’am a fire, night, dark, light, and thunderstorm pony.” “I’am what you call a hybrid or mutant.” “My DNA is full of five different kinds of ponies.” Isaac says “How many were you actually born with?” Thunderstorm says “Four.” “The fire was
put into me by mother.” Isaac says “Wow.” David says “Why are we talking about you?” Thunderstorm says “He wanted to know exactly who I’am.” Isaac says “It’s good to know your enemies and friends.” David says “True.” Thunderstorm says “Oh and I’m connected to Equestria so if I die.” “Equestria starts dying to.” Isaac says “And you said you’ve died multiple times.” Thunderstorm says “Yep.” “Draconix slows down the dying and that gave them enough time to bring me back.” Isaac says “Wow.”
Thunderstorm says “I’m powerful but not invincible.” “If I was then Firefly would still be alive.” “Everypony would still be alive and this whole mess would be over.” David says “Yeah but we can still save who’s left.” Thunderstorm says “No pony is left David.” “We’re all that’s left.” “Equestria told me.” David says “Oh…..” Thunderstorm stops walking. His ears go up. Everypony freezes and looks around. David says “What do you hear?” Thunderstorm says “The pack and Equestria crying.” “It can’t take all
this Hell.” David says “We’re on our way to fix it.” “It will be fine.” Isaac says “It better be.” “I’m not dying here.” Thunderstorm says “Mother will be fine.” “Don’t worry.” Isaac says “Mother?” David says “I told you about the white hair on his back.” “He’s Equestria’s son.” “He has two mothers.” Isaac says “What the Hell?” David says “Ask him.” Thunderstorm says “Out of time.” The pack jumps out of the trees and rain down on them. One lands on Thunderstorm’s back. Thunderstorm smiles and says “Big
mistake.” SHING!!! It falls off his back in three pieces. Isaac pulls one off his back and rips the head off and throws it. David flips one off his back and shoots it till only it’s legs remain. Pinkie Pie screams “Skyriiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiid!!!” A pack has stabbed it’s claw into his stomach. It cuts all the way up to his neck. Crimson blood and throbbing, bloody organs pour out. Skyrid’s eyes are wide. He falls down dead. His lifeless eyes staring into nothing. SHING!!! Thunderstorm cuts the pack into five pieces. It falls down
dead. Pinkie Pie runs to Skyrid’s body and says “No.” “No.” “Wake up.” “Please.” BOOM!!!! Skyrid and his organs catch on fire. Pinkie Pie looks at Thunderstorm. Thunderstorm says “I know he was your husband and your somepony but we have no time.” “We have to go.” Tears go down Pinkie Pie’s cheeks. She looks at Skyrid’s burning body. His lifeless burning eyes looking out into nothing. Pinkie Pie says “No.” Thunderstorm says “What?” Pinkie Pie says “No!!!” “I won’t leave him!!!” “He’s not dead.” “He can’t be…..he can’t.” Thunderstorm walks up to her and says “He’s right there in front of you burning and lifeless as Hell.” “Get out of your silly fantasy world where no pony dies and come on.” Pinkie Pie closes her eyes tight. Tears pouring out. She nods her head and stands up. Thunderstorm says “Good.” “Let’s go.” Thunderstorm levitates Pinkie Pie onto his back and says “You’re staying with me until further notice.” Pinkie Pie cries into his back. They all set off. Rainbow Dash walks up to Thunderstorm and says
“You were kind of hard on her.” Thunderstorm says “I’ve lost my mother, best friend and brother, and my daughter.” “Do you really think I’m in the mood to not be hard on a pony?” Rainbow Dash says “Good point.” Thunderstorm looks back at Pinkie Pie and says “Please stop crying Pinkie.” “I can’t stand it when you cry.” She hugs his neck and cries into the back of it. Thunderstorm sighs and says “I get it Pinkie.” He wraps his wings around her. She gives him a quick squeeze. Thunderstorm smiles and says
“You’re welcome.” David says “Man I hate it when Pinkie cries.” Fluttershy says “Me too.” “It’s so not like her…..to be sad” Tears appear in Fluttershy’s eyes. Fluttershy says “She must be really hurting.” “I’m so sorry Pinkie.” David hugs her. She cries into his chest. David says “I know.” “I know.” “Let it out.” “I’m here.” She cries harder into his chest. He hugs her tighter and kisses the top of her head. End of Chapter 13
Deadstria
Chapter 14 A Older Brother
10 miles later. Pinkie is still crying into Thunderstorm’s neck. Thunderstorm stops and looks back at her and says “It’s not like you to cry this long Pinkie.” “What’s wrong?” Pinkie Pie rubs her stomach. Thunderstorm’s eyes go wide and he says “Your pregnant?!!” Pinkie Pie nods. Thunderstorm says “Oh buck.” “How long have you been pregnant?” Pinkie Pie says “two…two months.” She cries into his neck again. Thunderstorm says “I’m sorry Pinkie.” “I shouldn’t have asked you that so early.” Pinkie Pie says
“I…It’s ok Thundy.” Thunderstorm says “Don’t worry Pinkie.” “I’m going to get you through this.” “I promise.” Pinkie Pie kisses his cheek and says “Thank you Thundy.” Thunderstorm smiles at her and says “You never have to thank me Pinkie.” “You’re my sister like Flutter is.” Pinkie Pie smiles and says “I have a brother!!” She bounces around Thunderstorm and says “I have a brother.” “I have a brother.” “I have a brother.” “And he is a king.” “I have a brother.” “I have a brother.” David says “Should we stop her?”
Thunderstorm says “No.” “She’s distracted right now from her sadness.” “Let her be.” David says “Ok.” Pinkie stops bouncing and says “Huh.” “My baby has an uncle!!!” She tackles Thunderstorm and hugs him and says “You’re an uncle.” Thunderstorm smiles and says “Heh.” “Yes I’am Pinkie and I couldn’t be happier.” Pinkie Pie smiles at him and says “I love you Thundy.” Thunderstorm smiles even more and says “I love you to Pinkie.” Pinkie Pie hugs him tighter. Thunderstorm says “Don’t crush me now.” Pinkie
Pie lets go of him and says “Sorry.” Thunderstorm says “It’s cool.” “It’s always cool sis.” Pinkie Pie smiles and says “Ok…bro.” She giggles and says “I love that!!!” She bounces around and says “I have a brother.” “I have a brother.” Thunderstorm says “An older brother to be exact.” Pinkie Pie says “Yay!!!” “I have an older brother.” “I have an older brother.” Applejack giggles and says “Pinkie.” “You sure do crack me up sometimes.” Rarity says “Me too.” Twilight says “She cracks everypony up.” David says “Yep.” Isaac says
“I don’t see it.” Everypony looks at him. Isaac says “What?” “Nothing is funny to me anymore.” Pinkie Pie says “I’ll fix that.” Thunderstorm says “Later.” “We got a whole planet to save.” “Remember?” Pinkie Pie says “Oh yeah.” “Let’s goooooo!” Thunderstorm says “Heh.” “Let’s go everypony.” “Sweetie Belle says “I love Pinkie.” Dia De Los Muerto says “Me too.” Thunderstorm says “Alright kido.” “Let’s go.” Dia De Los Muerto says “Ok.” She hops onto his back. SHING!!!! Thunderstorm’s armor appears on his wings. David
says “We got a bad ass over here.” Thunderstorm says “Shut up and move.” David says “Yes sir.” 3 miles later. A tentacle shoots out and grabs Rarity’s hoof. She screams “aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!” Thunderstorm says “Rarity!!” It pulls her into the forest. Thunderstorm sends Dia De Los Muerto onto Twilight’s back. Thunderstorm says “Look after her.” Whooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooosh!!!! BOOM!!!!!!!!!!!! A ring of purple night sky and
shining stars goes out. Dia De Los Muerto says “Woooooooo.” “It’s so beautiful.” Twilight says “That’s what happens when he does a Sonic Starboom.” “It’s 100 numbers past the speed of a Sonic Rainboom.” Die De Los Muerto says “Cool.” Where Thunderstorm is. He catches up to Rarity and says “Hang on!!” SHING!! Thunderstorm cuts the tentacle. Rarity takes what’s wrapped around her hoof and throws it away and says “Ewwwwwww.” Thunderstorm lands in front of her and says “Run.” Rarity says “What about you?” Thunderstorm says “I said run!!!” Rarity quickly stands up and runs away.” A creature heads straight for him. POW!!!! POW!!!!! POW!!!! POW!!!!! POW!!!! The creature falls down dead. Thunderstorm says “What?” Thunderstorm turns around. Vinyl Scratch stands behind him. Thunderstorm says “I…Impossible.” “Equestria told me that there was no other survivors left.” Vinyl Scratch says “Heh.” “Well I’m here.” “What’s up Thunder.” An infector lands on her back and stabs her head. Thunderstorm
says “No!!” POW!!!! POW!!! POW!!!! POW!!!! The infector falls off dead. Thunderstorm says “Vinyl?” Things come out of Vinyl. Thunderstorm says “No.” “No Vinyl please.” “I’ve already lost enough.” “I don’t need to lose anymore friends.” “Please.” Vinyl Scratch says “Raaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!” She runs at him. Thunderstorm says “I’ve gotten too cold to care anymore.” He points the plasma cutter at her head. POW!!! POW!!! POW!!! POW!!! She falls down
dead. Thunderstorm says “Maybe I should feel some pain from shooting you but my heart is already gone.” He walks away. Her body catches on fire. Where the others are. Thunderstorm emerges from the forest. Rainbow Dash hugs him and says “Thank goodness you’re alright.” She looks at his eyes and says “What happened?” Thunderstorm says “Nothing.” “Let’s go.” He walks away. Rainbow Dash says “Don’t lie to me.” Thunderstorm keeps walking. Rainbow Dash says “I know it’s hard because she was my
daughter to and Firefly was my friend to but I don’t shut you out so please don’t shut me out.” Tears go down her cheeks and she says “If I lose you then I have nothing left to live for.” “Please don’t leave me.” Thunderstorm stops walking and faces her and says “You’re the only reason I’m still alive to Dashy.” “I’m sorry.” Rainbow Dash smiles and says “It’s ok.” She runs up to him and hugs and kisses him. Isaac says “It’s to calm out here.” “Something isn’t right.” “What could’ve made them leave?” SHING!!! A Javelin stabs into the ground one inch from Twilight’s hoof. Twilight back away from it with wide eyes. David says “Oh bit!” “Take cover!!!” Javelins fill the air. End of Chapter 14
Deadstria
Chapter 15 The Power of Light
Thunderstorm says “What is going on?!” David says “It’s unatologist.” “They worship the marker and protect it.” Thunderstorm says “Why would you protect what kills you?!!” David shrugs and says “They’re crazy.” Isaac says “I hate these dame freaks.” Thunderstorm says “Those javelins are moving too fast for me to catch with hooves but Isaac.” “I have an idea for how you can.” Isaac says “What are you thinking?” Thunderstorm says “Just walk out there and take them out.” “I promise you that a javelin
won’t touch you.” Isaac says “You better not be playing me.” Thunderstorm says “I don’t break my promises Isaac.” Isaac says “Alright.” “Let’s do this.” Isaac steps out into the open. Thunderstorm’s eyes glow completely white. Isaac catches a javelin and says “Whoa.” “They’re moving so slow to me now.” Thunderstorm says “Go.” “Stop wasting time.” Isaac says “Right.” He runs through the javelins. Dodging and catching them. David says “Wow.” The javelins finally stop raining down. Isaac walks back and says
“I killed a couple but the others retreated before I could get to them.” Thunderstorm’s eyes go back to normal and he says “Oh well.” “We’ll get them in time.” Isaac holds out his hand and says “Thank you for not taking the chance to kill me.” Thunderstorm shakes his hand and says “I told you I keep my promises.” Isaac says “You certainly do.” Ratchet pulls out a map and says “We are almost halfway there.” “From here on it’s probably going to be a lot worse till we reach the marker.” “We all need to be
even more on our guard from here on.” JT says “How could we be even more on our guard?” “We’ve been under like constant attack since we left the bunker.” Ratchet says “Don’t be a smart flank.” Thunderstorm says “Enough!” “We need to get moving.” “No arguing.” Dia De Los Muerto says “It’s getting so cold.” Thunderstorm says “Just snuggle into my back to stay warm sweetie.” Dia De Los Muerto says “Ok daddy.” Rainbow Dash says “What about our baby?” “It’s too cold out here for her.”
Thunderstorm says “Wrap your wings around her.” Rainbow Dash says “Ok.” Blaaaaaaaaaaaa!! Everypony looks at Applejack. She says “Sorry…I don’t know what’s wrong.” “Blaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!” Thunderstorm walks up to Applejack and says “Did you and Firefly have sex?” Applejack nods while wiping her mouth with her hoof. Thunderstorm looks at Applejack’s stomach and says “You’re pregnant partner.” “Looks like Firefly gets to live on after all.” Applejack says “I’m
pregnant?” Thunderstorm says “I would say as pregnant as Fluttershy is.” Applejack says “I’m 4 months pregnant?!!” Thunderstorm nods and says “Yep.” Rarity rubs her stomach and says “Oh no.” “Blaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!” Twilight rubs her stomach and says “Uh oh.” JT says “Don’t you do it.” “Don’t you dare Twilight.” Blaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!! JT says “Oh no.” David says “Great.” “We’re traveling with a group of pregnant mares.” Thunderstorm looks at Soul Silver and JT. Soul Silver says
“Well she is my wife so don’t look at me.” JT says “And Twilight is my wife so don’t you be looking at me.” Thunderstorm says “I will look at you because do you realize what you two have done?” “You have crippled the team!” “By making them pregnant we have to put them under extra security and they won’t be able to defend themselves as well as they could if they weren’t pregnant!” “Like this mission wasn’t already hard enough!!” “You two got to go and do this!!!” JT says “What about them?” “They had sex with us.” Thunderstorm says “Shut up!!!” “If any of them are killed!!!” “I’ll have you slowly ripped apart by a Timber Wolf pack!!!” “The both of you!!!” Twilight and Rarity scream “No!!!” Thunderstorm says “I’ll do something I can promise you that.” “Now move out!!” 5 months later. Fluttershy is lying up against a tree holding hers and David’s baby and Applejack is lying up against another tree holding hers and Firefly’s baby. Fluttershy smiles down at her baby and says “She’s so cute.” David smiles and says
“Yeah she is.” “Just like her mother.” Fluttershy smiles at him. Rarity says “She has David’s gray eyes.” Twilight says “And your coat Fluttershy.” David says “And her mane has pink from your mane and the yellow from mine.” Rarity says “What are you going to name her?” Fluttershy says “Sirena.” “Her name is Sirena.” Twilight says “Who knows how much magic she’s carrying in those wings of hers since she’s David’s daughter.” David smiles and says “Yep.” Where Applejack is. Thunderstorm smiles and says
“He’s beautiful AJ.” Applejack smiles and says “Thanks Thunder.” “He has Firefly’s yellow eyes.” Tears appear in her eyes. Thunderstorm says “He would love him.” Applejack says “He would.” Thunderstorm says “He also has your coat and his mane has the yellow from yours and the yellow from Firefly’s mane.” Applejack says “I wish he had Firefly’s red coat.” “And yellow and orange mane.” “I wish he was Firefly.” She starts crying. Thunderstorm hugs her and says “It’s alright AJ.” “He’s yours and Firefly’s son.” “He
has Firefly’s blood in him.” “Love him and raise him well because I know you will.” Applejack nods with her eyes closed tight and tears pouring out. Thunderstorm says “What’s his name AJ?” Applejack says “Applesauce.” She cries into his chest. Thunderstorm holds her and says “I miss him to AJ.” “He was my brother.” “Not by blood but he was my brother.” “It’s ok AJ.” “I’m here.” Isaac says “Is he here for everypony?” David says “Pretty much.” “He’s the nicest pony you’ll find besides Fluttershy.” Fluttershy blushes. Isaac says “Wow.” David says “Yep.” End of Chapter 15

Chapter 16 Dia De Los Muerto
Thunderstorm says “You can stay with me and Dashy AJ.” “We’ll help you raise him.” Applejack says “Thanks Thunder but I can’t put yall out like that.” Thunderstorm says “You’re not putting us out at all.” “We live in a huge black castle AJ.” “And with so many dead now.” “A lot of rooms are open.” Rainbow Dash says “Yeah.” “We got plenty of room for you Applejack and Applesauce.” Applejack says “But what about yalls baby?” Rainbow Dash says “There will be two babies and three of us.” “We’ll have plenty of
help.” Thunderstorm says “Yep.” Applejack says “Alright but I’m paying yall back somehow.” Thunderstorm says “No you’re not.” “You owe us nothing AJ.” Rainbow Dash says “And we’re the Queen and King so do what we say.” Applejack smiles and says “I just don’t fill right staying with yall unless I pay yall back.” Thunderstorm says “Don’t worry about paying us back.” “You got enough to worry about with that baby.” Rainbow Dash says “You owe us nothing.” Applejack smiles even more and says “Alright.” “I
owe yall nothing.” “Thank you.” “Thank you both.” Thunderstorm and Rainbow Dash says “Happy to.” David says “Uh we should get moving.” Thunderstorm says “Right.” David levitates Fluttershy onto his back with Sirena on her back. Thunderstorm levitates Applejack onto his back with Applesauce on her back. They set off. 10 miles later. David says “Oh buck.” Thunderstorm says “What are those?” Isaac says “Pregnant.” Applejack says “What kind of name?” Isaac shrugs. David says “Well they do look pregnant.”
Twilight says “There is three of them.” “Is that bad?” Isaac and David nod. The pregnant cut their stomachs. Releasing the swarm. Rarity and the other girls throw up. Thunderstorm, David, Isaac, and the other guys just watch. Thunderstorm levitates Applejack and Applesauce off his back. David levitates Fluttershy off his back. Isaac pulls out his Plasma Cutter. David pulls out a pulse rifle. Thunderstorm pulls out a force gun. The swarm reaches them. They all fire like crazy. David says “I hate these things!” Isaac
says “Me too.” Thunderstorm puts up his force gun and spins through the swarm with his armor. Twilight and the other girls watch him. Thunderstorm smiles as he cuts through them. David and Isaac shoot the last of them. Thunderstorm laughs and says “I love doing that!” “I love my armor!!” The pregnant attack. Isaac and David shoot them. Thunderstorm says “Oh yeah.” “Forgot about those.” Rainbow Dash pulls out the Intimidator and says “Time to upgrade weapons girls.” “We got babies to
protect.” Fluttershy pulls out the Shoot banger and says “Let them try to hurt my baby.” Everypony looks at her in shock. David says “I love you.” Fluttershy giggles and says “I love you to.” Applejack pulls out the Hydrogen Torch Flame Thrower. Twilight pulls out the Contact Beam. Rarity pulls out the Pitch Black 392. Pinkie Pie pulls out the Rs-Ds Remote Control Disc Ripper. Everypony looks at her in shock and fear. Pinkie Pie smiles and says “Let’s have a party!” JT pulls out And Tubes and says “I guess we better
upgrade to. Ratchet pulls out the Sweep The Leg and says “Yeah.” Soul Silver pulls out Ship Repair Tool and says “Let’s do this.” Dia De Los Muerto pulls out a Plasma Cutter and says “I…I’m still cold.” Sweetie Belle says “M…Me too.” Thunderstorm closes his eyes. His coat turns white and light radiates from him. He says “Do you feel warmer now?” Dia De Los Muerto says “Y…Yeah.” “H…How are you doing that?” Thunderstorm smiles and says “I control light and dark sweetie.” “It’s what I do.” He opens his eyes and the light goes away and his coat returns to normal. Dia De Los Muerto says “Where did it go?” “I’m cold again.” Thunderstorm says “Sorry sweetie.” “Controlling light is no easy task.” “It takes a lot out of me.” “So does the dark.” David says “Pretty much anything that he does that is really powerful drains him immensely.” Thunderstorm says “Truth be told…I could die from it.” Dia De Los Muerto says “No!!”
Thunderstorm says “Don’t worry sweetie.” “I don’t plan on it.” Dia De Los Muerto runs a few feet away and says “Daddy watch this!” Thunderstorm smiles and says “I’m watching sweetie!” She starts shooting trees. Thunderstorm smiles even more and says “My little girl.” A dark figure runs through the trees heading for Dia De Los Muerto. Thunderstorm’s ears go up and he screams “Dia De Los Muerto!” He runs to her. The Twitcher appears in front of her. Her eyes go wide. Thunderstorm races to her. David
fires at the Twitcher with his Pulse Rifle. The Twitcher’s scythe swishes through the air. Dia De Los Muerto drops her Plasma Cutter and falls down. For Thunderstorm everything slows down. Time just…stops. He screams “Nooooooo!!” Everything echoes through his head. Tears fall down his cheeks. A storm forms in the sky and it starts raining. Lightning strikes and thunder roars. Rainbow Dash says “No….not again.” “He can’t take it again.” Tears fall down her cheeks and she says “He can’t lose
another daughter.” “Please Celestia no.” Thunderstorm reaches the Twitcher and rips it apart over and over and over and over and over and over and over till finally David says “Thunderstorm stop.” “It’s dead.” Thunderstorm drops what he has left of it and kneels down in front of Dia De Los Muerto and says “Please wake up sweetie.” A cut is across her neck. Thunderstorm lifts her head in his hooves and sees her lifeless light blue eyes looking up at him. Thunderstorm says “Luna no.” “Wake up please.”
“You got to wake up.” “I didn’t open my heart back up just to lose you.” “Please Dia De Los Muerto.” “Please my little girl.” “My daughter.” He puts his forehead against hers and says “I love you please come back to me.” “Tears pour out of his eyes. Rain, lightning, and thunder are all around them. The wind starts to pick up. Thunderstorm closes his eyes tight. Tears pouring out. He kisses her forehead and says “No.” “Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!” The ground shakes,
cracks, and splits. The wind howls like screams from hell. The rain falls like a never ending waterfall. The Thunder roars like mad and lighting strikes even faster. Isaac shields his eyes and screams “I can’t see anything!!!” “What’s going on?!!!” David screams “He’s going rager!!!” Rainbow Dash says “No he’s not.” “His heart is breaking.” “All of this is only a sample of how hurt he is.” She runs to Thunderstorm and hugs him and wraps her wings around him. He buries his face into her chest. The storm stops and
the ground stops shaking. Tears go down Sweetie Belle’s cheeks and she says “She was my…friend.” She buries her face into Rarity’s chest. Rarity hugs her and looks at the other girls. They all look at her with sad eyes. Thunderstorm says “Get off of me Dashy.” Rainbow Dash says “Thunderstorm.” “Please don’t get suicidal again.” Thunderstorm says “I’m not.” “Get off.” “Now.” Rainbow Dash says “But…” Thunderstorm says “Now!!” Rainbow Dash lets go and backs away. Thunderstorm stands up and
breathes slowly. He picks up Dia De Los Muerto’s Plasma Cutter and her death replays in his mind. Her light blue eyes going wide as the Twitcher appeared and then…her death. David says “Don’t do it Thunder…please.” Thunderstorm looks down at the Plasma Cutter. Rainbow Dash says “Thunderstorm?” “Please don’t leave me.” A voice says “Do it my son.” “Leave this world.” “Before it takes the last thing that you have.” “Come and join us.” “Make us whole.” Another voice says “Come play with me daddy.” Thunderstorm looks and sees Dia De Los Muerto standing behind him right beside Luna. Thunderstorm smiles and says “Sweetie.” Dia De Los Muerto says “That’s right daddy and I miss you.” “Please come to
me.” Thunderstorm lifts the cutter to his head. Rainbow Dash screams “Thunderstorm!!!” “Nooo!!” David says “The demensia is getting to him.” Isaac says “Don’t you dare.” “We need you!!!” Fluttershy and Rarity put their hooves over their mouths and says “Oh my gosh.” Applejack, Twilight, and Pinkie Pie watch in silence. Tears going down their cheeks. Dia De Los Muerto says “Pull it daddy.” “Join me.” “Make us whole.” POW!! Isaac shoots the Plasma Cutter out of his hoof. Thunderstorm’s eyes glow blue
and he looks at Isaac and says “Raaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!” Isaac says “Oh shit.” End of Chapter 16

Chapter 17 Dimensia
Isaac says “Thunderstorm snap out of it!!” David says “I think we should just run.” Thunderstorm says “Raaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!” Rainbow Dash says “Thunderstorm?” Thunderstorm looks at her and starts running to her. His armor out. Rainbow Dash closes her eyes. Tears pouring out. Soul Silver says “I won’t let it do that to him.” “If she dies then that’s definitely the end of him.” “I love you Rarity.” He runs in
front of Rainbow Dash. Rarity says “Please no.” “Don’t do it Soul Silver.” SHING!! Thunderstorm stabs his armor into Soul Silver’s chest. SHING!! He stabs the other one into his forehead. Tears pour down Rarity’s cheeks and she screams “Stop it Thunderstorm!!!” POW!! Thunderstorm pulls Soul Silver’s head off. BOOM!! His body hits the ground and his head hangs from Thunderstorm’s armor. Dripping blood. Rarity
falls to her knees and breaks down crying. BOOM!! Thunderstorm sends Soul Silver’s head into the forest and says “Raaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!” He runs at Rainbow Dash again. POW!! Thunderstorm flies into the forest. BOOM!! And hits a tree deep within it. Everypony looks at Isaac. He’s holding the force gun and says “What?” “I had to stop him somehow.” Thunderstorm walks out of the forest but his
eyes are normal again. Everypony looks at him. Thunderstorm says “I don’t feel so good.” “Everything is spinning.” “Everything is….” BOOM!! He faints. Rainbow Dash runs to Thunderstorm and says “What did you do to him?!!” Isaac says “Nothing.” “It’s just the force gun.” “It wouldn’t have really hurt him.” David says “I wouldn’t think it would hurt a pony like him at all.” Ratchet says “I’m pretty sure he’s entered another
hallucination.” JT says “Yep.” “I’d bet on it.” Ratchet pulls out his map and says “by my calculations we are almost there.” JT says “Well thank you genius.” SMACK!! Twilight smacks him. JT says “Ow!!” “Sorry.” “I won’t be smart again.” Twilight smiles and says “I thought so.” In Thunderstorm’s head. He looks around surrounded by never ending darkness. A voice says “Daddy.” Thunderstorm turns around and smiles and says “Dia De
Los Muerto!” He hugs her and says “I missed you so much darlin.” “I knew you wouldn’t leave me.” Dia De Los Muerto smiles and says “Of course I wouldn’t daddy.” “I love you.” Luna appears behind him holding a Plasma Cutter. She points it to his head. Dia De Los Muerto says “We’ll be together soon daddy.” “We’ll be whole again.” Tears go down Thunderstorm’s cheeks and he says “I know what whole means sweetie and I wish you
were really here but I can’t leave your mother and sister.” “I’m sorry honey.” “I’m so sorry.” He spins around cutting Luna across her neck. She drops the Plasma Cutter and falls over. He throws Dia De Los Muerto off of him and grabs the Plasma Cutter. Dia De Los Muerto’s eyes glow blue and she says “Raaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!” POW!! POW!! POW!! POW!! She falls down dead. Thunderstorm drops the Plasma Cutter crying. Everything goes white. Where the others are. Thunderstorm’s eyes slowly open. Rainbow Dash says “You’re awake!” She hugs him. Thunderstorm says “I had to kill her.” “I had to kill her and mother.” Rainbow Dash says “I’m so sorry Thunderstorm.” “If I could stop it I would.” “I’d do anything to stop it.” Thunderstorm says “I know.” “I know Dashy but you can’t do anything.” “No pony can.” Rainbow Dash says “Are you
ok?” Thunderstorm says “I had to kill her…what do you think?” He cries into her chest. She wraps her hoofs and wings around him. The girls watch in silence with sad eyes. Isaac says “If your King over there gets through all this still sane.” “You all better give him a medal or something because he has gone through Hell.” David says “We will don’t worry.” “And he’ll make it.” “He’s pretty tough.” “He’s made it this far.” Isaac says
“True.” “I’ve never seen someone so dangerous yet so caring and fragile.” “It makes no sense.” David says “He never does.” “He’s to complicated but he’s a good King, father, and friend.” Isaac says “We’re almost finally at the end of this Hell.” “I don’t want to remember any of this.” David says “None of us do.” Thunderstorm grabs the Plasma Cutter. Rainbow Dash says “Thunder please no.” Thunderstorm puts it in his backpack
and says “Don’t worry Dashy.” “I wasn’t planning on it.” He stands up and says “Let’s move!!” “We got a mission to finish!!” “And lives to avenge!!!” Everypony stands up and follows Thunderstorm. End of Chapter 17
Deadstria
Chapter 18 Never Be The Same
We walk as one. We walk to protect our home. We walk to avenge all those who are gone. We walk….to our destiny. David says “Dang it’s cold.” Isaac says “Where are we?” “I can’t see in this blizzard.” Thunderstorm says “The northern region of Equestria.” “The coldest region you’ll find.” Isaac says “Dame.” “What is this Crystal Empire anyway?” Thunderstorm says “An ancient Empire of Crystal Ponies that once disappeared because of a Dark King known as King Sombra but he was destroyed and they
have lived in peace ever since but who knows how it is now?” JT says “Probably ruins.” Twilight starts crying. Everypony looks at him. JT says “I…I’m sorry Twilight.” “I…I wasn’t thinking.” “I didn’t mean to make you to cry.” “I’m sorry.” Twilight says “It’s ok.” “Can we just move on?” Thunderstorm says “Of course.” Applejack says “We sure are leaving a lot of tracks in the snow.” “Couldn’t those Necromorph things follow our tracks?” Isaac says “They won’t.” “They fear the Marker like everyone else does.” “The
closer you get to it.” “The less Necromorphs you run into but it’s nowhere safer to be.” “In fact it’s more dangerous.” Rarity says “So either way you’re screwed.” Isaac says “Yep.” Rarity says “Oh my.” Fluttershy says “Yipe.” Pinkie Pie says “They killed Skyrid.” “Now I’ll kill them.” Thunderstorm says “Exactly Pinkie.” “Me and you are on the same page.” “Revenge.”“We are not screwed Isaac.” “They are.” Thunderstorm’s eyes glow red and he says “They took my brother…and my daughters from me.” “Now
I’ll take everything from them.” “Now stop being scared and move!!!” Thunderstorm and Pinkie walk off beside each other holding their guns. Twilight says “They’ve changed.” “They’ve gotten colder.” Rarity says “Losing somepony does that to you Twilight.” “You wouldn’t understand and I hope you never do.” Rarity walks off following Thunderstorm and Pinkie. Her gun out. Applejack follows Rarity. Her gun out to. Fluttershy says “Will they all be ok?” David says “No.” “The scars are too deep.” “Even for Pinkie.”
“She’ll still throw parties but she’ll never quite have that same happy look in her eyes again.” “The cold will always be there.” Rainbow Dash says “Thunderstorm isn’t the only pony who lost a daughter.” “Scootaloo was my daughter to.” She walks off following the others. Her gun out. Isaac says “I lost my girlfriend.” “Sorry girls.” Isaac follows Rainbow Dash. His gun out. David says “I lost Cheerilee and all my children but I gained Fluttershy and a new daughter so I’m alright.” Twilight says “Out of entire group
only the five of us aren’t going through what the rest is going through.” “Only five.” “So many of us have been hurt.” Tears go down her cheeks and she says “And so many are dead.” Fluttershy says “Twilight…you lost Princess Celestia…your teacher.” “You are going through it.” Twilight pulls out her gun and says “You’re right Fluttershy.” Coldness enters her eyes and she says “Thank you.” She follows the others. Fluttershy says “Oh my…maybe I shouldn’t have said anything?” David says “She would’ve
realized it at some point anyway.” JT says “Yeah.” “Don’t feel bad.” “I’ll go check on her.” JT runs off after Twilight. Ratchet says “Well we don’t want to fall behind the others so let’s move.” They all run to catch up to the others. 5 miles later. SHING!! A disc from the Remote Control Disc Ripper stabs into the ground an inch from Thunderstorm’s hoof. Thunderstorm looks at Pinkie Pie. Pinkie Pie says “I didn’t do it Thundy.” “Are you crazy?” A dark figure appears is the distance. More appear behind it. David says “I knew this wouldn’t be easy.” Isaac says “Neutologist.” “Dame them.” Thunderstorm says “Pinkie.” Pinkie Pie pulls out her Remote Control Disc Ripper and says “You got it Thundy.” Thunderstorm says “Make it as gory as possible.” Pinkie Pie says “With pleasure.” POW!! She fires out a disc and sends it through a ponies right front leg and left back leg. They go off spraying blood everywhere. The pony cries out in pain and falls over. The disc rips through another ponies back. Blood pours out and his bloody throbbing
muscle and bone are revealed. He screams“AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH”!!! The disc soars through the air ripping through all of them. Blood spraying everywhere. They all cry out in pain and moan till it’s finally over. Everypony watches Pinkie in shock except for Thunderstorm, David, Isaac, and Ratchet. They just stare forward watching. Thunderstorm says “Good job.” “Now let’s go.” Ratchet says “According to my calculations and my map….” They walk out of the blizzard. Everypony looks up in awe and fear. The Marker stands in front of them. Ratchet says “…We’re here.” End of Chapter 18
Deadstria
Chapter 19 The Hive
Thunderstorm says “At last.” “I will soon avenge you my brother and my little girls.” Pinkie Pie says “For Skyrid.” Ratchet says “That thing is too big.” “I don’t got powerful enough bombs for it.” Thunderstorm says “I have a bomb…myself.” “The light inside me will build up and turn me into a bomb and bring that thing down.” Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy says “No!!” Rainbow Dash says “You are not killing yourself!!” “So just stop trying to!!!” Tears go down her cheeks and she says “Please.” Thunderstorm says “If it keeps
you alive and avenges everypony that has fallen then I’ll happily do it.” Fluttershy says “No!!” “There has to be another way.” Tears go down her cheeks and she says “There has to be!!” Isaac says “Well if we had a moon that would work just fine.” Everypony looks at him. Isaac says “What?” Thunderstorm says “We want to save our home…not bucking destroy it!!!” Isaac says “Then I guess there is no other choice.” “Goodbye Thunderstorm.” He holds his hand out. Thunderstorm grabs it and says “Back at ya.”
Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy says “No.” Thunderstorm’s eyes glow white and he walks towards the marker. Rainbow Dash and the other girls start crying. BOOM!! The ground shakes. Thunderstorm keeps walking. David says “What was that?” Ratchet says “I don’t know but it felt huge.” BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!! A giant Necromorph burst out of the ground in front of Thunderstorm. His eyes go back to normal and he says “Great…Luna.” David says “Oh….buck.” Isaac says “The Hive Mine.”
The Hive Mine says “Raaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!” Rainbow Dash screams “Thunderstorm run!!!” A tentacle grabs Rainbow Dash by her hoof and takes her off the ground. Thunderstorm screams “Dashy!!!” “No…not…..again.” “I…won’t….lose….herrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!” Thunderstorm’s eyes turn blank. The ground shakes, cracks, and splits. Storm clouds form in the sky. Lighting strikes and Thunder roars louder than anything.
Whooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooosh!!! Thunderstorm takes off into the air and then stops high up above the clouds. BOOM!!!!! He Sonic Starboom’s off. The ring of purple night sky and shining stars goes out through the gray sky. A trail of purple night sky and shining stars comes out of him. He heads for the tentacle that has Rainbow Dash. SHING!! He flies through the tentacle cutting it. The Hive Mine cries out in pain. Rainbow Dash falls. Thunderstorm turns around and catches
her on his back and lands where the others are. Rainbow Dash slowly gets off his back and hugs him. Tears going down her cheeks. Thunderstorm kisses her cheek and says “You’re welcome but we don’t have time for this. Rainbow Dash says “I wish we did.” Thunderstorm says “Me too…so much.” They kiss. A voice says “Applejack.” Applejack turns around and says “Firefly.” Firefly smiles and says “Hey Applejack.” “Heh.” “I’m back.” “I’m not dead.” “I made it.” Tears appear in Applejack’s eyes and she says
“I knew you wouldn’t leave me.” They hug. Firefly takes her gun and says “Yep…” He aims it at her head and his eyes glow blue and he says “…I’m back.” “Let’s be whole again.” POW!!! Twilight screams “Applejack!!!” A voice says “Twily.” Twilight stops and turns around and sees Shining Armor and Princess Cadence standing behind her. Twilight smiles and says “Heh.” “You are alive.” She hugs them both. Shining Armor takes her gun and smiles and says “Of course we’re alive little sis.” He aims the gun at her head. Princess Cadence smiles. Their eyes glow blue. JT says “No!!!” “Twilight stop!!!” Isaac says “Shoot the pods!!!” He fires at them with his Plasma Cutter. Thunderstorm looks at Rainbow Dash and says “Give me your gun and go check on Applejack.” Rainbow Dash hoofs him her gun and says “Ok….goodluck.” Thunderstorm says “You too.” Rainbow Dash runs to Applejack. Thunderstorm walks up beside Isaac and says “Live or die…I’m taking that marker with me.” Isaac says “Same here.” David
walks up beside Thunderstorm and says “Same here to.” Thunderstorm says “Let’s save our home boys.” They all start firing. Rainbow Dash lifts Applejack’s head and says “Applejack!!” “Applejack can you hear me?!!” “Applejack please!!!” Applejack moans. Rainbow Dash says “Oh thank Luna.” “Don’t worry Applejack.” “You’re going to be ok.” “You’re just badly burned.” “You’ll be alright…I promise.” Twilight’s eyes go wide and she pushes away from Shining Armor and Princess Cadence and says “N…No.” “You’re
not them.” “You’re that Demensia stuff.” “Get away from me!!!” Shining Armor and Princess Cadence says “Raaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!” They run at her. Twilight says “Brother?” “Sister-in-law?” “Please no.” A tentacle wraps around Isaac’s waist and wipes him away. Thunderstorm says “Dame.” “Keep firing David.” “I’ll get him.” David says “Ok.” “Hurry.” Thunderstorm nods. Whoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooosh!!! And takes off. Other tentacles
attack Thunderstorm. David says “Stop moving dame thing.” Twilight punches Shining Armor in his gut and takes her gun back and hits Princess Cadence with it. She stumbles backwards. Tears go down Twilight’s cheeks and she says “I’m so sorry.” POW!! POW!! POW!! POW!! POW!! POW!! Princess Cadence falls down dead. Shining Armor says “Raaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!” POW!! POW!! POW!! POW!! POW!! POW!! Shining Armor falls down dead. They both disappear. JT says
“Twilight!!” Twilight spins around and says “JT?” JT smiles and says “Oh thank Celestia.” “You can hear me again.” Twilight says “Is that really you?” JT says “Look around.” Twilight looks around and sees Rainbow Dash with Applejack, David shooting at the pods, and Thunderstorm racing to save Isaac. Twilight says “Yep…I’m back.” She cries into JT’s chest and says “I had to kill Shining Armor and Cadence.” “They’re dead JT…they are.” JT hugs her tight and says “I’m so sorry.” Tears appear in his
eyes and he says “I’m so sorry Twilight.” “I’m so sorry.” Thunderstorm reaches Isaac and says “Prepare for a free fall!!” Isaac says “Ok!!” SHING!! Thunderstorm cuts the tentacle and Isaac falls. Tentacles grab Thunderstorm’s wings. Thunderstorm says “No!!” More tentacles wrap around him. Thunderstorm struggles and says “Nooooooooo!!” BOOM!! Isaac hits the ground. Thunderstorm screams “Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!” He’s pulled up above the Hive Mine’s mouth. David
says “Just a few more.” Fluttershy walks up beside him and says “Let me help.” All the girls except for Rainbow Dash and Applejack walk up and start firing. David says “Thanks Girls.” He keeps firing. They all nod and keep firing. Thunderstorm struggles in the tentacles. He says “Why…won’t…my…..armor….cut…..these?” The Hive Mine opens its mouth. Thunderstorm stops struggling and says “Its useless.” “I’ll see you soon my little girls….my brother…..mother…..Aunt
Celestia….I’m coming.” David says “Hurry!!” “He’s stopped struggling!!!” Rainbow Dash looks up at Thunderstorm and says “Please fight Thunder.” “Don’t leave me.” Rainbow Dash looks at Rain and the other babies hidden behind a giant rock and says “Please don’t leave us.” POW!! David shoots the last pod. The Hive Mine screams in pain but keeps hanging on. Thunderstorm opens his eyes. They’re glowing red and he says “No.” “I won’t leave my family!!!” POW!! POW!! POW!! POW!! POW!! POW!! POW!! POW!! Thunderstorm rips the tentacles out and throws them off of himself. The Hive Mine screams in pain. Thunderstorm says “Go to Hell.” BOOM!!!!! He Sonic Starboom’s into its mouth and out its back. His
armor pointed forward. The Hive Mine screams in pain and falls over. BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!! Dead. Thunderstorm screams “I have an idea!!!” “Twilight, Rarity, Hunter, and JT help me!!!” They all says “Ok!!” They all run up beside him. Thunderstorm says “We’re going to throw this thing’s body way up into the atmosphere with our magic and then bring it down as fast as we can ok?” Twilight says “Are you crazy?!!” Rarity says “We’re nowhere strong enough for that.”
Thunderstorm says “With light anything is possible.” Light goes out of Thunderstorm and into all of them. Thunderstorm’s eyes glow white and he says “Now combine it with your magic and will and let’s save our planet.” All their eyes glow white and their horns glow. The Hive Mine starts glowing and slowly lifts off the ground. David says “Whoa.” Thunderstorm says “Throw it up as hard as you can!!!” It goes flying up high into the atmosphere. Thunderstorm smiles and says “Now bring it down…quickly.” It
shoots down. Catching on fire. David says “Oh bit!!!” “Take cover!!!” BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Dust, snow, and debris fill the air. It slowly clears. Thunderstorm and everypony else stand unharmed. Isaac moans. Thunderstorm runs to him and says “Isaac!!” “You’re alive!!” Isaac says “Not for long….Ah…….COUGH!!!.....almost every bone in my body is broken…..so much is hurt……I’m dying.” “COUGH!!! COUGH!!! He coughs up blood.
Thunderstorm says “Can’t we do anything?” Isaac says “No….you have nothing that will help……just kill me…..please….I don’t want to suffer…..please…..use your armor…..please Thunderstorm.” Thunderstorm says “I wanted to kill you when you came here but not anymore.” “You are my friend Isaac.” “The only human I actually like.” “We got to do something.” Isaac says “You can’t….kill me….COUGH!!!....COUGH!!.....Ah!!.....Please Thunderstorm.” “I don’t want….to die slowly.” “I don’t
want…to suffer….please.” Thunderstorm’s eyes turn cold and he says “What is killing you to killing my own daughters.” SHING!! He stabs into Isaac’s chest and looks into his eyes and says “Say hello to your girlfriend for me.” “Goodbye Isaac.” SHING!! Thunderstorm pulls his armor out. Isaac says “Goodbye….Thunderstorm………thank you.” BOOM!! His head hits the ground. David runs up and says “No!!” “Why did you stab him?!!” Thunderstorm says “He was dying and he asked me to.” “He didn’t
want to suffer so I ended his suffering.” “The poor human is in peace now.” “Now shut up and come on.” “We got to get Applejack to a hospital.” David says “You don’t care about him at all do you?” Thunderstorm stops walking and says “If you ever say that again.” “You’ll be the next one to feel my armor in their chest.” Thunderstorm walks away. David says “You could at least bury him!!!” BOOM!! Isaac’s body catches on fire. David says “Oh…that works to.” He follows Thunderstorm. They reach
Applejack and the others. Thunderstorm says “Come on.” “We got to get her to a hospital.” Rainbow Dash says “How?” “Ponyville is so far away.” Thunderstorm says “Not for Sonic Starboom speed.” “Put her on my back and I’ll have her there in no time.” Rainbow Dash says “Ok.” She puts Applejack on Thunderstorm’s back. Thunderstorm says “I’ll see yall there.” Whoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooosh!!! BOOM!!!!!!!! Rainbow Dash says “See you there.” End of Chapter 19
Deadstria
Chapter 20 A Brother’s Voice
In the Hospital a doctor says “We’re losing her!!!” Another doctor says “Stay with us ma’am!!!” “Fight!!!” The first doctor says “She’s fading fast.” The other doctor says “She’s a hero we can’t let her die.” In the waiting room. Thunderstorm and the others stand beside each other. Tears go down Thunderstorm’s cheeks and he says “Equestria tells me that she is dying.” “They’re going to lose her.” Twilight looks at Applesauce and says “No.” Tears go down all their cheeks. Rainbow Dash says “I hate
Demensia.” She starts crying. David says “We all do.” Thunderstorm looks down the hallway at the double doors that lead to Applejack’s room and says “Please don’t leave me sister….please.” A pony walks up to Thunderstorm and says “King Thunderstorm all the Necromorphs and markers are gone sir.” “We have killed them all.” Thunderstorm says “Sniffle….thank you….make sure all the dead are properly buried.” The pony says “Of course sir.” He walks away. Hours later. A doctor walks out of the double
doors and up to Thunderstorm. Thunderstorm says “Well?” The doctor shakes his head and says “I’m sorry.” Rainbow Dash says “Nooooo!!!” She cries into Thunderstorm’s chest. Thunderstorm wraps his wings around her and closes his eyes tight. Tears pouring out. The doctor says “You may come and see her if you like.” “I’m so sorry.” He walks away. Thunderstorm says “I got to go see her Dashy.” “I’m sorry.” Rainbow Dash says “Don’t be.” “Sniffle.” “I understand.” “Go.” Thunderstorm nods and walks
into Applejack’s room and up to her bed and looks down at her. Tears pour down his cheeks and he says “Firefly was my brother and you are my sister.” “Ha huh.” “Why is everypony that I care about leaving me?” “Ha huh.”“Ha huh.”“Ha huh.” “First Scootaloo then Firefly then Dia De Los Muerto…” “Ha huh.” He closes his eyes tight. Tears pouring out. He opens them back up and says “And now you.” “I hope your with Firefly…ha huh….and don’t worry…..ha huh…..ha huh….We’ll take good care of….ha
huh….Applesauce.” He cries into her bed. Applejack’s hoof slowly moves and touches his cheek. Thunderstorm stops crying and looks at her hoof and then at her and says “Applejack?” Applejack says “Thunder….storm…is that…..you?” Thunderstorm smiles and grabs her hoof and says “Yes Applejack.” “Yes it’s me.” “Please open your eyes.” Applejack’s eyes slowly open and she smiles and says “Hey Thunder.” “Uuuh.” “What happened?” Thunderstorm says “Heh.” “That’s not important AJ.” “You’re
ok.” “Ha haa!!” “She’s ok!!!” Everypony runs into the room and says “Applejack!!!” They all hug her. She smiles and says “Hey yall.” “Good to see yall to but could yall give me some space to breathe please?” They all back up and says “Sorry.” Applejack says “Awww it’s quite alright.” The doctor runs into the room and says “You’re alive b…but how?” “Your heart stopped.” “You wouldn’t come back.” Applejack smiles up at Thunderstorm and says “I heard my brother’s voice and it brought me back.” Thunderstorm
smiles down at her. The doctor says “Amazing.” “Just…amazing.” He leaves the room. Thunderstorm says “Don’t worry.” “They were able to fix your face back to the way it was.” Applejack says “I don’t care.” “I saw him Thunder.” “I saw him.” Thunderstorm says “Saw who?” Applejack says “Firefly.” “When I heard your voice he told me to go back.” “That it wasn’t my time yet.” “He gave me a quick kiss and I felt it Thunder.” Tears go down her cheeks and she says “I felt it….I felt it.” Tears appear in Thunderstorm’s eyes and he smiles and says “Ha huh.” “That’s great AJ.” “He loves you.” “Ha huh.” “He’ll always be with you.” Applejack says “Ha huh.” “I know.” “How’s Applesauce?” Twilight says “Fine.” “He’s with the other babies but I think he misses his mother.” Twilight smiles at Applejack. Applejack smiles back and says “Thanks Twi.” “I bet he does.” “That little cowboy.”“Heh.” “He makes me smile every time.” David says “I wish Isaac was here.” “So he could know that Applejack is ok.”
Thunderstorm says “He knows David.” “He knows.” Hours later in the middle of Canter Lot on a stage. Everypony is cheering. The Main Six, Ratchet, JT, and David stand on it. Thunderstorm walks up to the front of the stage and says “Since my mother and Aunt Celestia aren’t with us anymore it is up to me to praise and award these heroes!” “As Luna’s son and Princess Celestia’s nephew I’am your new leader and I promise that I will lead you well!!” “I’am kind like my mother and smart like my Aunt!!” “We will
rebuild Equestria together!!!” Everypony cheers. Thunderstorm says “Now for our heroes!” “For your brave, noble, selflessness, and much more courage and strength!!” “Equestria gives you all the medal of Heroism, Light, and Freedom!!” “Because you brought all those things back to it and back to us!!!” Everypony cheers. A pony puts the medals on them all. Rainbow Dash says “But what about you?” “You helped to.” Thunderstorm smiles and says “I don’t need recognition Dashy.” “The fact that my family
and friends are safe again is all that matters and is more than I could ask for.” Rainbow Dash says “But…” Thunderstorm says “And for all the ponies that died!!” A curtain is pulled back revealing a statue with a lot of names in it. Thunderstorm says “This statue will stand as a memorial to them all!!” “And for the human that helped us!!” Another curtain is pulled back and another statue is revealed. Thunderstorm says “This statue will stand forever as a memorial and a reminder that even the most evil of species can
be good!!” “Now before we let our heroes go!!” “Give them thanks!!!” Everypony cheers the loudest that they can. Everypony on stage bows then walks off stage. The sun shines in the sky. Rainbow Dash walks up to Thunderstorm with Rain and says “Everything looks better.” Thunderstorm looks up into sky. Dia De Los Muerto, Scootaloo, Luna, and Firefly go through his head. Scootaloo and Dia De Los Muerto giggling.Firefly laughing.and Luna smiling at him. Tears go down his cheeks and he says “Yeah…” He
looks at the shining sun and smiles and says “…Much better.” David and the others look at the shining sun to and smile. David says “Everything is ok now.” Fluttershy smiles and says “We made it.” Sirena yawns. David smiles down at her. Thunderstorm looks at all the coffins being buried and says “We live on a graveyard.” “Things will never be the same.”
The End
