The sound of tinkling tools and the soft whirring of sciency equipment where the only sources of sound in the otherwise, quiet white room.

The two scientists that were assigned to watch Snubbs were doing the exact opposite. Both of them had their backs turned to him while they prepped for the dissection.

Snubbs however was prepping for a whole new matter entirely. He had his eyes closed as he writhed his whole body within the strapped of the bed, as if the deep though he was in gave him a gigantic headache.

(sort of what one’s body language would be while watching the movie “End of Eva.”)

Then a soft pop made him stop, it was followed by a wet slap. Snubbs peered forward over his hind legs to make sure he just didn't produce an embarrassing mess.

Snubbs sighed in relief when he found his greasy bald tail on the white tile floor.

Dignity in tact Snubbs commanded his tail to slither towards the nearest scientist. It moved across the floor like some freakishly big earthworm. it started up the scientists leg, Unfortunately for him his career had required had he wear rubber hoof protectors for sanitation reasons so Snubbs tail climbed up his rear leg and onto his back without being noticed.

The Tail reared up, like a python ready to strike. Then brought itself forcefully onto the area where the pony's head met the neck. Its broke right through the skin and quickly buried itself into the scientists flesh.

The scientist jumped slightly and opened his mouth to scream the moment the Tail had pierced the skin. But the Tail had acted so quickly it had assumed control of the scientist's body before he could make a whine.

The Pony’s body shook and convulsed, fruitless in its efforts to rid the intruder from its point of control.

The Pony’s body then went rigid, then slowly turned to Snubbs. It calmly walked to the straps and activated the it's magic. (which had turned to a sickly green glow) and popped all the straps free.

Snubbs smiled and stretched his tense and decomposed muscles, Then out of appreciation to his Savior. Slapped the scientists head faced down and noisily ate the brain inside.

The sound of his colleague's skull popping was more than enough to get the scientists attention.

“GAG ZOOKS!” the unicorn yelled then ran for the door. He began banging wildly on the door yelling for the guard.

The door Swung open to one of Princess Twilight's guards.

“What all the comm-WAH!” The guard saw Snubbs charge right at him. Snubbs grabbed the Guards head within his rotten head and bit down,.....onto rock hard bronze metal. Snubbs teeth bounce back with a “TWANG”, Snubbs staggered back. The Guard saw his opportunity and pushed Snubbs back. He then produced a spear from the next room and charged Snubbs.

The spear impaled Snubbs right through his still heart and into the drywall. Snubbs thrashed wildly at the Guard but was pinned. The Guard smirked and turned to the scientist.

“This is what wiped out half of Ponyville? Sheesh i hate to see if bunnies ever decided to- Holy SWEET CELESTIA!”

It was at that point the Guard was not talking to the living scientist (That had found shelter in a chemicals cabinet) But was the reanimated corpse of the other scientist the Snubbs had eaten.

The Zompony pounced as the Guard tried to rip the spear from Snubbs's chest. But her failed and was knocked down, breaking the spear in half in his teeth. The Zompony must have been paying attention because instead of going for the Guards cranium he sunk his teeth into the Guards Jugular.

Blood spurted violently as the Guard was slowly devoured neck first. Snubbs however slid his body off the shortened spear, he adjusted his tie and began walking across the floor (which he found to be quite slippery at this point.) And calmly knocked on a steel cabinet, then hid behind the door as it slowly swung open.

“Hello? Did you-”

“NNNRRGGGG!”

Snubbs readjusted his hat, meal finished he was ready to go to the top of the castle and confront the princess.

Snubbs walked out of the laboratory (followed by his reanimated posse) and into the main dungeon. Snubbs was faced with rows and rows of cells, all filled with treats that were completely unaware of his presents. Snubbs shifted his eyes to the left to find the guards office in it were controls to the power, cell doors and fire and disaster alarms. Snubbs smirked as he lowered a hoof, killing all the lights. Then another to free all the prisoners.

All the convicts walked out into the dark. Thinking a card from a board game had came to the rescue. They all went for the main door to find it all locked. Many of the convicts expressed their anger. So loudly in fact they failed to notice 4 sets of glowing eyes closing in on the blind ponies.

Snubbs booted open the steel door to the stallions rest room, filling it with the screams and splatters of udder chaos and carnage. Only to have it properly cease when the door closed behind Snubbs.

The sound of the rustling newspaper erupted from the first stall.

“Fur Celesstia’s sake Frank! We got a riot out there? let me get my gear on!”

Snubbs bolted towards the first stall, he burst through the door, scaring the Guard pony inside to screams (it was certainly a good thing the Guard was on a toilet judging my the splashes of water that followed). Snubbs bypassed the Guards helmet and sunk his teeth into the Guards neck.

Snubbs and his pack of deadhead friends burst through the twin purple doors to Twilight's throne room. After a few packs of Guards (Who had fallen and then joined the ranks of Snubbs's fellow dead) Snubbs's horde had grown considerably.

The Group shuffled into the large round room lined with bookshelves, at the far end sat a large crystal desk. A large purple office chair decorated with a big purple star.

“I'm so glad you made it to my office.”

Snubbs froze at the the sound of the voice, he knew that voice well.

The chair turned, facing Snubbs with the mare that was responsible for his death. Snubbs almost chuckled (if he could) at the fact that this soulless killer was named a princess in his absence. Princess of what? cold blooded murder?,....Books?

“Its so more convenient if I kill you here!” Twilight activated her magic, opening two doors behind her. Guards swarmed into the room. Adorned in dark purple armor and masks, each set coming complete with a assortment of magical augmentations.

Snubbs felt a little nervous. His horde outnumbered them 10 to one, but Twilights elite magical guard where more heavily armed than anything he had faced.

Snubbs lifted a decomposed hoof, halting his army from mounting any kind of assault.

A Guard leaned to Twilight and whispered, “Shall i give the order Princess?”

Twilight looked Snubbs right in the eye, “No, I have a better idea.”

Twilight jumped down from the desk and met Snubbs at his level.

“You may think you have this Town Zompony but I've been doing something on Zomponys that no one expected me too,...Research! And what I found was-”

As Twilight went on about all the comic books she had been reading while her town was being devoured by hell spawn. Snubbs just rolled his milky white eyes. Definitely the “Princess of books.”

“But above all I found that all zombie share one massive weakness!”

Two Flashes illuminated the room, Snubbs blinked and rubbed his eyes furiously. Once his eyes had adjusted he saw what Twilight's Challenge would be.

In front of him sat a pristine vintage “Daring Do and the raunchy river ride” pinball machine. Three bits sat on the glass table of each game.

“Poor motor skills! I've been playing this machine since I was a foal! (on Sundays when the library was closed) I said i would buck your balls and i meant it! First pony to a million points wins!

The Guard that spoke up earlier widened his eyes, “Um,...Princess? do you think its wise to stake the fate of Ponyville on a pinball game?”

Twilight turned “Oh I'm sorry did Celestia give you wings?”

“I'm a Pegasus, so no-”

“That's right! so shut up and let me kill this guy.”

Twilight inserted her first bit, he machine came to life in a hail of lights and clinks.

Snubbs nervously inserted his first bit, He launched the ball which whipped around and flew past his flippers and into the foul drop.

Snubbs growled as he launched his second ball. He managed to score a few points but missed his ball after scoring just 200 pts.

Snubbs slammed his hoof on the glass table, rigor mortis had not done much for his reaction time.

“Hey!” Twilight yelled, “These are un-restored classics! You wouldn't wanna damage the core!”

The core? are these things radiactive? hmmm,....

Twilight's machine flashed, Snubbs leaned over and saw that she had accumulated over 200,00 points.

“HA! Beat that zombie!” Twilight taunted, putting in her second bit.

Snubbs perked up, he quickly fished in his pockets. Snubbs pulled out a rusty bit of the seven he had been buried with.

Snubbs popped the bit into his mouth, sucked air into his cheeks. With careful aim he spat the bit. The brass bit whipped through the air and landed on the glass top of Twilight's machine. Knocking the last bit off the machine and onto the floor.

Snubbs continued playing, but Twilight was scoring more points on this bit. To make sure she would need to use the rusty bit Snubbs picked up his machine and tilted it.

A shrill alarm rang out, catching Twilights attention. “Hey! No tilting! you might a swell be a good sport about this. consetering that I'm going to dissect you, ON A BED OF ROCK SALT!”

Distracted Twilight let her last ball drop. Twilight groaned and used her magic to insert her last bit. But the ancient old bit put up a bit of resistance.

Twilight Raised an eyebrow, but looked at Snubbs playing. Twilight couldn't bear the idea of Snubbs catching up to her so, she narrowed her eyes and gave the bit a huge push with her magic.

After some straining the bit still hadn't gone through, so facing defeat. Twilight drew a long breath and gave the bit all she had. Twilight huff and sweated, she groaned and yelled until.
“PING!,....PING! PING! PING!”

The bit gave way and the force of Twilight's magic had pushed it clean through the machine. Then had enough force to ricochet off the walls of the room.

The Bullet cleanly sliced into the right eye of one of the Guards, Blood Sprayed everywhere as he tried to apply pressure to his new wound.

Twilight however was more worried about her machine, a soft pink glow illuminated the room from the machines core.

“Oh no, the original Daring Do series amusements were powered by a quantum foam core, if it reaches critical mass it’ll-”

BOOM!

Snubbs was blinded, deafened and muted (not that he could talk anyway) all at the same time. He was thrown head over heels and into a bookshelf.

Then all hell broke loose.

The Zomponies, being Zomponies. Were mostly unhurt by the explosion. Where as Twilight's Guard has sustained heavy injuries from the explosion.

Bits of Guards were strewn across the floor, and more whole Guards screamed in agony. These to the Zomponies were like a all you can eat buffet, and the blood and guts of their deceased comrades where just the tangy Worcestershire sauce.

Snubbs came through in the midst of chaos, Screams of agony and fear mixed with groans and growls of joy as the room turned into an all out pony entrails filled food processor.

Out of the corner of Snubbs's eye he saw a movement, like a door swinging closed. He got up and quickly shoved his way through the crowd of appetizing delights.

A bit oak door stood behind Twilights office chair, Snubbs forcefully kicked the door open.

Inside was a somberly lit room, a giant window behind a tall purple throne made up of most of the north wall. Twilight look out of the glass wall. Through it one could see all of Ponyville. The late hour had given the little town a dusky haze as the sun had began to set on the fires and carnage in the streets.

“All of it gone.” Twilight choked.

Snubbs shifted uncomfortably.

“My friends, my books, my K/D ratio, my pinball machines, all of it, gone.”

Twilight turned to Snubbs, She staggered, nursing a large shard of pinball glass table top that was lodged into her front right leg. “And it's all you fault!”

Snubbs moaned confusingly.

“Why? Why did you come here and destroy my town?”

Snubbs just sorta shrugged, he didn't have a particular reason to, he just did. Leave it to a woman to make a man turning into a Zompony feel like his fault.

“Well don’t care what you reasons are, you gonna pay! I don't care if you where the reanimated corpse of Zeus! or Moses! or John luke picard! I don’t care if you were-”

Twilight's eyes widened, then narrowed. She stared deeply into Snubb’s and Then Widened them again.

“You!”
