Ponyville pandemic
The attack
Previous ChapterNext ChapterPonies were assigned jobs already and the smaller ponies were in the stores, which were now the nurseries and homes. Parts of the barricades were already built, and ponies from the edge of the settlement were evacuated. Unicorns have designed weapons, and most everything was going fine. There was only one problem. Some ponies didn't believe Twilight.
"Sir, please! We need you out of this house!" Twilight was trying to convince a stallion to move to the safe grounds. It wasn't working well.
"Oh right, I'm gonna leave my comfy home for these so called 'zed'?" He argued back at her, not giving in.
"Sir, this is a serious problem! I'm concerned of your safety!"
"I'm not going for it! Now get of my house!" The stallion rudely pushed Twilight Sparkle out and slammed the door. "Maybe now I can finish my book..."
Twilight gave up and walked away, not seeing the zebra staggering down the street, making it's way towards the stallion's house. With Twilight out of site, the blood-covered zebra sniffed the air for the closest target. It scented the stubborn stallion within the house. Having smelled a living being, it charged at the house, slamming into the door.
"I told you I won't get out!" Came a muffled voice from inside the house. The sound of something breathing made the uncontrollable diseased one furious.
Zecora started smashing her head into the door, busting it open. Seeing the blood covered zebra made the stallion scream.
"Oh Celestia! They were right! HEEEEEEELP!"
Nopony heard the stallion. No help wass coming. He was doomed. The zebra charged toward him, lashing out it's front hooves and shrieking in hunger.
The stallion screeched as the strong teeth of an undead Zecora sank her teeth straight into the chest of him. He lashed out his hooves, punching her in the face repeatedly, but that did nothing. She tore her teeth through muscle and skin, blood pouring out of the wound.
Bite after bite, more blood gushed out and more screams were emitted, until they finally stopped. Zecora had fed, but her hunger was impossible to satisfy.
She sniffed the air for more flesh, still seething with anger. She picked up on the sent of ponies out the door. Hungry, she bolted towards the door, ready for her next meal.
Right after the stallion died,
"Okay ponies! We need to set up barricades today!" Twilight Sparkle yelled over a megaphone, "Take wooden boards, nails, and tools from the buildings around us and give it to B Squad!"
The ponies obediently started towards the stores and gathered wooden boards, scrap metal, tools, and nails. Once gathered, they would take it to the Building Squad and they would set up barricades. Tools leftover from building will be used as weapons.
"Hey, guys! I found Fluttershy!" A guard shouted from his post. He didn't notice the blood on her mouth or on her hooves.
"That's great! Rainbow! Send somepony to get her!" Twilight commanded.
"Okay, Cloud Kicker!" Rainbow called, "Go over the barricade and lead her in."
Cloud Kicker saluted Rainbow and flew over the barricade towards Fluttershy.
"Oh my gosh!" She yelled when she saw the blood on Fluttershy. "What happened?!"
The only reply she got was a grunt as Fluttershy lunged at her. She let out a yelp, but she was out of sound range and nopony heard. They were focusing on work to do on the barricades and didn't see them.
When Cloud Kicker was on the ground, Fluttershy made her move. she darted her head towards Cloud Kicker's neck, but she was trained for this. She craned her neck so the teeth missed and her face hit the ground, then proceeded to bucking her off with her back hooves.
Fluttershy yelped as she flew into the air, away from Cloud Kicker. She landed on her side and let out a pained screech.
Cloud Kicker tried to jump up and fly away, but Fluttershy was fast and flew right from the ground to swoop down on her. Cloud Kicker fell to the ground, face first, with Fluttershy on her back. She wasn't trained for this, however.
Fluttershy closed her jaw around Cloud Kicker's back, tearing the skin open. Cloud screamed, barely being heard from the barricaded area. Fluttershy chomped into the same area, gulping down muscle and blood. Cloud kicked and screamed, being heard by only one guard pony.
Lyra used her magic to locate the source of the screaming. She saw FLuttershy on top of Cloud's back, eating into the skin. She lit her horn, sounding a signal to other guards that Cloud was in danger. As soon as everypony came to see the seen of the crime, the two pegasi were gone. All that remained was a pool of blood.
"Somepony, get Twilight Sparkle!" a guard shouted, "This is code #52!"
One of the scout pegasi flew as fast as they could towards Sugarcube Corner, which was now Town Hall, where Twilight Sparkle was making orders.
The pegasus burst in the door, screaing, "TWILIGHT! TWILIGHT! CODE #52!"
Twilight didn't panic. She stayed calm and started sending orders to the guard ponies.
"Okay," she said through magic messages, "code #52. Stand on full guard. Let nopony in, Watch for ponies Cloud Kicker and Fluttershy specifically."
"Yes ma'am!" the commander unicorn massaged back.
A sudden shriek was heard from guard post #4. Lyra's post.
"Alright!" the commander shouted again, "All ponies, to post #4! Code #52 step 1!"
The commander busted open, but in the post, there was nothing but blood again, and a lot of it. Lyra was nowhere to be found.
"Oh. no! They have a pegasus and a unicorn! Code Red! I repeat, code red!"
But before anypony could react, the door to the post closed and locked.
"A next meal, how delightful" Fluttershy swooped from her hiding spot on the ceiling onto one of the unicorns.
A minute earlier, at the post,
Lyra screamed as Fluttershy swooped in the window. She was thrown to the ground by the force of her hooves.
"I've tasted a zebra, an Earth pony, and a pegasus," Fluttershy said in a deep, horrifying voice. "I wonder how unicorns taste."
Lyra got her mind working. She was also a huge zed person. She thought Fluttershy could possibly be a superior zed. She could think about things, talk, but she couldn't exactly control herself. The disease took over her mind and controlled her, making her able to speak and think things through for her next meal.
Fluttershy chomped into Lyra's chest, savoring the taste, when she heard the guard ponies coming. Lyra couldn't breathe or talk, due to blood pouring out of her mouth, so Fluttershy threw her out the window and climbed to her hiding place for the guards.
Back to the original time,
Fluttershy tore a hole into the skin of the unicorn, then jumped to the other. She repeated this on another then finally got knocked off. But the disease that was in her saliva was supplied from the brain to be fast acting.
The unicorns that were bitten now got up and attacked the others. Guard squad #2 was now wiped out. Ponyville was now in trouble.
