No place for magic or friendship
[Washington D.C]
I was running through the burnt building, jumping, and diving past any obstacle that stood in my way. While I was running I could here the sound of screaming, and several other footsteps behind me. I didn't dare to look back, so I just kept running down the hall. I could soon hear the footsteps grow louder, and I knew that I had to think of something fast. I quickly made a left, and smashed into a room. I slammed the door shut, and pushed an old dresser in front of it. Instantly the dead began to violently bash on the door in attempts to break in. I pushed the dresser against the door, and scanned the room for a way out. "Come on, come on!" I growled. I could hear the door cracking, and I began to feel them slowly push the door open. Soon one of the dead heads smashed their head though, and attempted to take a chunk out of my neck. I pulled out my combat knife, and plunged it through the bastards skull. "Stay dead asshole!" I shouted, and pulled out my bloody knife. I soon saw a broken window, and sighed. I closed my eyes, and began to count to three. "One." I prayed for safety. "Two." I readied my legs to move. "THREE!!" I shot off of the dresser, and bolted towards the window. I instantly heard the door smash open, and the blood thirsty screams of the dead charging after me. Once I was close enough, I jumped through the window, and I could feel the air flow pass my face. Instantly a thought popped in my head as I was falling. 'WHY THE FUCK DID I DO THIS!?!?'
Soon I smashed into a old car. I groaned in pain, and slowly opened my eyes to see something I would never want to see. Flying zombies. They were pluming down towards me, and I could see the soulless hungry eyes. I quickly rolled off the car, and landed on my face. I looked up, and saw a dead head slam into the ground in front of me. Soon enough several more followed him. I smiled, and slowly rose to my feet. I looked around me, and saw a few of the bodies twitching. I sighed again with relief, and cracked my back. "Please stay dead this time." I said, and chuckled to myself. But before I could do anything else, I was tackled to the ground. I struggled, and heard the sound of teeth chattering. I soon finally pushed off the bastard, and attempted to grab my knife, but the dead head recovered quickly, and jumped back on top of me. The dead head was close to my face, and I could feel the blood from his mouth drip onto my cheek. I looked around for anything helpful, and spotted a rock near by. I grunted, and stretched my arm towards the rock. Soon I managed to grab the rock, and a evil grin crawled onto my face. "Burn in hell!" I roared.
"AHHHHHHHH-"
*CRACK*
The living corpse fell hard onto the ground, and blood began to cover the floor around it. I panted, and gasped for air as I stumbled to my feet, and whipped the blood from my cheek. Once I regained my breathe, I looked down to the corpse, and noticed that it was still twitching. I sighed, raised my boot, and slammed down hard onto it's skull. Pieces of skull, and brains scattered across the floor, and the body ceased it's movement. "Damn it, I really hate cleaning this shit off of my boot." I mumbled, and knelt down next to the body. I began to check the body for anything useful. All I found were empty shell casings, and a picture of a loving family. I huffed, and threw aside the useless objects. I rose to my feet, grabbed my backpack, and pulled out my map of the city. But before I could get the chance to figure out where I was, I started to hear several bloodthirsty roars. "Shit." I mumbled, and looked for a place to go. Instantly I spotted a hotel, and I decided to hide in there for the night.
I quickly sprinted towards the hotel, pulled out my AR-15. Once I reached the hotel, I quickly checked my corners, and closed the doors behind me. I saw a large vending machine to my left, and quickly blocked the doors with it. I sighed, and turned away from the doors. I walked up to the front desk, and looked over it to see a decayed body with a room key in his hands. I climbed over the desk, and pulled the key out of his hands. I looked at the key, and saw that it was room 413. I looked back down to the dead corpse, and stomped it's head in. "Just to be safe." I mumbled, and walked to the stairs. I kept my weapon drawn, and slowly walked up the stairs. After a while of walking, I finally made it to the room, and walked into it. Of course, it looked like shit, but it had a bed. I chuckled, and dragged a dresser in front of the door. I took off my backpack, laid it next to the bed, and walked to the window. I looked down, and saw a horde of dead heads scattered around the entrance. I cursed under my breathe, and sat down onto my bed. "Just another day." I chuckled, and reached for my backpack. I pulled out a bottle of whisky, and took a sip. I looked at the bottle, and shook my head. "It's gonna suck when I run out of you my friend." I said, and put the bottle back into my backpack. For a few minutes I just stared at the floor, and talked to myself just for the fun of it, but soon I snapped out of it, and reached for my backpack, and pulled out a video camera. I pulled up an old table, and placed the camera on top of it. I cleared my throat, and turned it on.
[///September 4th/ 2020///]
"Day 780, and I have made no progress in my supply run through Washington D.C. All I have found in this shit hole was a destroyed government, and a shit load of dead heads. I luckily found a few magazines for my weapon, and one can of beans, but that's about it. I've also spotted what looks like a massive horde of dead heads heading southeast. I think there may be a group of people southeast since I've been hearing some gunfire from the distance. It would explain why the dead heads are moving that way. *Sigh* It seems like more and more keep coming back from the dead everyday, and no matter how many you kill, there will always be another army waiting. Anyways, I plan on doing one last sweep through the mall before I leave the city. The dead heads chased me off before I could look around. Well, that's about it for today, I'm going to try and get some sleep, but with those dead heads screaming outside that may be a little hard. Wish me luck.
I leaned over to the camera, and turned it off. I've honestly forgot why I even do these logs any more. I guess I do it in hopes someone will see it, and learn from my mistakes, but almost all of humanity are living corpses now. There could be a shinning hope for the world, but for now I'm still in the dark. I rubbed the back of my neck, and laid back on the bed. I stared at the ceiling while listening to the multiple bloodthirsty screams coming from outside, and closed my eyes.
"Fucking dead heads."
[Canterlot]
"The changelings! The changelings are attacking!" A royal guard screamed as he ran through the streets. But before he could get any further, he was engulfed in green flames that fried his body. Shortly multiple explosions erupted through out the city, and a swarm of changelings appeared out of no where in the skies, and on the streets. The citizens ran for they're life's, and the guards charged towards the changelings in attempts to let the citizens escape, but the changelings were like a virus and killed everything that stood in their way.
"Fallback to the castle!" A royal guard shouted. The city was almost engulfed in green fire, and civilians, royal guards, and changeling's dead bodies covered the streets, and the sound of screaming, and explosions could be heard through the air. The changeling's were flying over the city, and in combat with whatever was left of the royal guards in the air. The rest of the guards on land were now retreating towards the castle. Celestia stood on her balcony with her golden armor, and with an enraged look printed on her face. She looked down, and saw the rest of the guards entering the castle.
"Close the gates!" She yelled. Instantly the guards closed the large doors, and attempted to regroup. Celestia soon heard something behind her, and turned around. It was Luna in her royal armor.
"Sister, Twilight and her friends made it safely with a group of civilians." Luna said. Celestia sighed with relief, and nodded.
"Good, is she in the throne room?" Luna nodded.
"yes, and she wishes to speak with you."
"Very well, let us hurry. The changelings could strike at any moment." Celestia said. Her sister nodded, and they both began to make their way to the throne room.
"Sister, I still do not understand how these beast reached our city undetected." Luna said.
"I don't understand either Luna, but all that matters now is defending our subjects until they escape." Celestia said. Luna nodded in agreement, and both sisters continued to quickly make their way to the throne room. Once some time past they both reached the throne room, and saw that Twilight, her friends, and their families were all awaiting them. Twilight spotted both princesses, and ran towards them. Celestia was relieved to see Twilight unharmed, and smiled. "Twilight, I'm so happy to see you and your friends." Celestia said. Twilight smiled, and hugged Celestia.
"I'm glade your unharmed princess." Twilight siad, and broke the hug. "But how are we to beat back the changelings?" Celestia sighed, and looked around the room filled with injured soldiers, and civilians. She soon looked back to Twilight, and shook her head.
"You and your friends will take the civilians, and injured through the mountains. Once you are through the mountains you will make your way to the Crystal Empire Luna, me, and the rest of the royal guards will hold the changelings off long enough for you to escape." Celestia said. Instantly Twilight's eyes widened with shock.
"But Celestia, I cant just leave you, you need our help. And, I'm a princess, so that means I'm a guardian of Equestria too." Twilight said. Celestia nodded, and placed a hoof on Twilight's shoulder.
"I know you are Twilight, but there must be a princess to lead the subjects of Equestria once I'm gone, and since my sister refuses to leave me, I have chosen you." Celestia said with a smile. Twilight was about to protest, but Celestia raised her hoof. "Please Twilight, I have trained, and guided you through your whole life. You are like a daughter to me, and I can not bare to see you fall at this young age when you have a chance to live a great life. Please lead the others to safety Twilight, think of it as one last assignment." Celestia said with a small tear running down her face. Twilight was about to say something, but a loud explosion erupted, and the sound of several war cries could be heard. "GO!" Celestia boomed, and forced Twilight away.Twilight was about to say something, but she kept her mouth closed, and turned to the citizens, and her friends.
"Hurry, everypony follow me!" She yelled, and towards the throne. Everyone quickly followed her, and reached the throne. Instantly Twilight used her magic to open a hidden door under the throne, and motioned everyone to enter. Without a second thought the Civilians rushed through. The sound of the battle was getting closer, and several screams could be heard behind the main door of the throne room. Once the last of the civilians made it through Twilight ran for the escape route, but looked back to see Celestia smiling. Twilight closed her eyes, and slowly sealed the door shut. Once the door was closed, another massive explosion shook the earth, and the sound of Celestias voice filled the air.
FOR EQUESTRIA!!
Screams, explosions, and the sound of metal clashing were all Twilight could hear above her. She opened her eyes, and instantly dashed away. She couldn't bare to hear the sound of war, and just ran away from it. Soon she saw her friends, and the cutie mark crusaders pushing on a large boulder that was blocking the tunnel. "Girls!" She shouted. They all looked back, and had the look of relief on their faces.
"Twilight, thank goodness, we need your help getting past this. I-I would do it, but I-I cant think straight with all of this happening." Rarity said. Twilight nodded, and everyone got behind her. Her horn began to glowed, and the boulder instantly vanished. Without any words, everyone began to move through the tunnel. A few minutes passed, and everyone began to hear several screams come from the tunnel. They stopped, and listen to the scream get louder, and closer. Soon multiple ponies came running down the tunnel covered in blood, and fear painted onto they're faces. The pony in the front of the herd saw Twilight, and doubled her speed.
"Princess, princess! The changelings are in the tunnel, what should we do!?" He shouted, and awaited her to answer, but he never got one. Twilight only looked at the ground, and tried to think of what to do, but all that was in her mind was pure chaos, and confusion. But soon she felt a cool breeze on the side of her face, and looked to her left. A wall was all she saw, but she felt the air coming from the wall. She quickly put her ear next to the wall, and smiled. She looked to Applejack.
"Applejack, hurry and kick this wall." Twilight said. Applejack was confused, but did as Twilight asked. Applejack quickly delivered a hard buck to the wall, and it instantly came crumbling down. Twilight looked to the rest of the civilians, and pointed towards the new entrance. "Hurry everypony, hurry!" She shouted. Once everyone was in, Twilight quickly followed. Soon they reached a strange room with several symbols, and a large shrine stood in the middle of the room.
"What is this place?" Rarity asked.
"I don't know, but it doesn't look like there is an exit." Rainbow Dash said. Once all of the civilians heard that they all began to panic. Soon Twilight caught up with the group, and saw the ponies in panic.
"Whats wrong?" She asked.
"There isn't anywhere to go Twi, we're stuck!"Applejack said, and stood close to her family. Twilight began to panic as well, but she kept a straight face, and closed her eyes.
'Think Twilight, THINK!' She yelled in her head. Soon she began to hear a voice.
The shrines...
Twilight opened her eyes, and looked to the shrine in the middle of the room. Soon the voice spoke again.
The shrines...is your escape.
The voice was faint, but Twilight ran to the shrine, and quickly started to inspect it. Soon Twilight spotted something, it was a black crystal. Twilight then heard the voice again.
The shrines crystal is your escape.
Twilight was confused, but out a force of instinct she began to insert her magic into the crystal. Soon the crystal began to glow green, and the shrine started to shake. Twilight backed away, and watched as the shrine started to break into two, and saw a bright light between it. All of the ponies ceased their panicking, and watched as a portal opened once the shrine was fully in two. Some were about to ask what happened, but soon the sound of several war cry's filled the room, and a green glow could be seen coming from the tunnel they came from. Twilight knew that this was the only way out, so she stood tall, and created a barrier in front of the tunnels entrance. "Everypony, through the portal! NOW!" She yelled. Without a second thought all of the ponies sprinted into the portal. As half of them were through, the changelings, covered in blood, began to smash away at Twilight's barrier. Twilight struggled, but she stood tall. Once the ponies were through, Twilight felt someone pull her back. She looked back and saw her friends.
"Twilight hurry, the portals closing!" Rainbow Dash yelled. Twilight nodded, and lowered the barrier. She and her friends quickly ran for the portal, with several green lasers flying over their head, and nearly hitting them. The portal was now nearly closed, so Twilight, and her friends jumped for it. They luckily made it through, and Twilight sighed with relief. She was going to look back, but soon her vision was replaced with darkness, and she felt her body go numb.
[Jacks pov]
*CRACK*
I smashed the dead heads skull in with a rusty hammer, and pushed his body over. I panted, and looked around to see three other dead heads laying on the ground with a pool of blood surrounding them. "Fuck me, cant anything go smoothly." I said, and looked at the hammer. I decided that it could be useful, and held onto it. I quickly ran through the street, and entered a destroyed building. I moved through the building quietly, and smoothly. I smiled to this, but soon I reached a window that gave me a clear view of the mall. My smiled disappeared at the sight of dead heads standing near the entrance of the mall, and sighed. "Fuck." I whispered, and scanned the area for any other way in, but failed. I started to think for a moment, and felt something under my hand. I looked down, and saw a brick. I looked up at the malls driveing park, and saw a parked car. I smiled, and picked up the brick. I exited the building through the window, and quickly ran to a crashed cop car that was across the street. I took in a deep breathe, pulled back my arm, and threw the brick with all my might towards the car. I crossed my fingers, and smiled as the brick smashed into the window. The car went off, and the dead heads instantly sprinted towards the car with bloodthirsty screams. They smashed into the car, and began to violently beat the car. I took my chance, and sprinted towards the mall. Luckily I made it, and quickly entered the mall. I panted, and gave a heavy sigh. "That could have gone worse." I panted, and chuckled. I silently walked through the mall with my guard 100% up, and checked several shops on the bottom floor. I knew this place had some good loot. So far I've found medical supplies, food, and even a perfect gas mask. This was turning out to be a lucky day, but I knew that there had to be more. I started to look up stairs, and found a box of matches, a pair of binoculars, a black hoodie, and some new cloth. I'll be honest, the stuff I'm wearing sucks, and smells like balls, so I'm kinda happy I found the cloth. But I knew I couldn't take them all so I just took a white T-shirt, and some underwear. Now that I was done with my shopping spree, I decided it would be a good idea to start leaving the mall before the dead heads start to come out. But as I was leaving, I began to hear a small sound. I ignored it, and just to continue to make my way to the stairs. But before I could, a loud crack filled the air, and a bright light came from the first floor. I quickly ran to the rail, and looked down to see several people jumping out of some kind of glowing hole. I was shocked, and just stared as they all came out. Soon the last of them came out, and the hole closed shut. I ducked under cover, and peeked out to get a good view of the large group of humans standing in the middle of the mall. As I watched them, I noticed them looking at their bodies with what looked like shock. Soon they all began to look around, and mumble to one another. I felt like just leaving them, but I was so curios of what was going on, so I just stayed put. Soon a girl with purple hair stood on top of a table, and began to speak.
"Everypony, please calm down!" She shouted. I screamed in my head for her to shut up, but I didn't want to give away my position. "Now I know you all are confused, so am I, but we must remain calm, and find out where we are!" She shouted. I was about to leave these idiots to their death, but I felt like I should help them.
"Damn it!" I said under my breathe, and quickly ran towards the stairs. As I was halfway down the stairs, I began to hear the bloodthirsty screams of the dead heads, and picked up the pace. I jumped off of the stairs, put on my gas mask, and sprinted towards the crowd. I pulled out my AR-15, and reached the crowd. The people soon noticed me, and seemed surprised by my sudden appearance. I ignored this, and pushed through the crowd. "Move, move! Out of the way!" I shouted. They did so quickly, and I quickly pushed through to the other side. Once on the other side I saw several dead heads sprinting towards us with the same look in their eyes. I aimed my AR-15, and pulled the trigger. Four rounds shot through the air, and four dead heads slid onto the floor dead. I fired more rounds, and saw more dead heads fall dead onto the floor. I looked around, and saw an exit door. I ran to the door, and kicked it open. I looked back to the group, and motioned them towards me. "Hurry, hurry, lets go!" I screamed. They seemed confused, and scared, but soon a dead head grabbed a human, and dragged him to the floor. The man screamed in pain as the dead head began to feast on his flesh. I shot three rounds into the dead head, and one round into the mans head. "COME ON!" I roared. Soon they all followed, but hardly half of them made it when several dead heads fell from the second floor, and surrounded them. I cussed under my breathe, and ran through the door as the trapped humans were being torn apart by the hungry horde of dead heads. I spun around, and slammed the door closed, but before the door closed I saw the hellish scene of people being eaten alive, and begging for help. Once the door was closed, I turned around to the remaining humans, and glared at them. "What the fuck is wrong with you!?" I shouted in a quite voice. "This place is crawling with dead heads!" I was about to say something else, but I stopped once I saw the look on their faces. It was pure fear, and shock. I soon notice something else, they were wearing clean cloth. I know it's strange, but there's no way a person can wear clean cloth in a world like this. Soon the girl with purple hair spoke.
"W-what in Equestria is going on!?" She shouted. I quickly lunged at her, and covered her mouth.
"Shhh, are you nuts!? They'll hear you!" I whispered. "You'll end up like those poor bastards out there if you don't shut up! Understand?" I asked. She slowly nodded, and I let go of her mouth. Tears were running down her face as the screams began to grow louder, and louder from the other side of the door. I looked to the rest of the group, and saw crying children huddled together with their family. The adults looked totally confused, and scared about what was going on. They looked like they weren't from here, and they had no gear. They had no idea what to do. I rubbed the back of my head, and sighed. "listen, I don't do this at all, but I feel like I need to help you. I have an RV out side of the city, if you want you can come with me." I said, and felt like punching my nuts. As they were talking to each other, I started to count them up. Four children, and eight adults. This made me regret asking them if they wanted to tag along. Soon they all came to a conclusion, and the girl with the purple hair spoke up again.
"V-very well, we'll accept your offer." She said. I was about to say something, but she quickly spoke again. "But, you have to answer my questions." She said with a serious look. I shrugged.
"Sure, but hold the questions until we're out of here. Okay?" I asked. She nodded, and I walked down the hallway. "Good, now lets get a move on." I said. As we were walking I could hear several screams come from the vents from above, and kept my weapon up. I could hear a few whimpers from behind me, and sighed. I looked back, and stared at the kids. "Could you guys be a little more quite?" I said.
"That's not us." A tanned girl with purple hair said. "That was Fluttershy." She said, and pointed at a tall girl with pink hair. I looked at the girl closer, and saw that she was crying. I sighed again, and turned around. They stopped dead in their tracks, and looked to me.
"Then how about YOU shut it." I said with a annoyed tone. She jumped a bit, and lowered her head.
"I-I'm sorry." She whispered. The others seemed a bit angry at me for saying that, but ignored it, and turned around. We began to make our way through the hallways, and finally came to another door with an exit sign on it. I walked to the door, and slowly opened it. To my surprise the area looked clear. I poked my head out, and scanned the area even more, and smiled under my mask to see more dead heads running away towards the entrance. I looked back, and motioned them to follow me. We quickly ran across the street, and made it to an old police station. Once they were all inside I closed the doors, and blocked the door with a broken vending machine. I sat on the vending machine, and sighed. For a few moments I sat there quietly, and looked up to the strange group of humans huddled up against each other. I pulled off my gas mask, closed my eyes, and took a deep breathe air. Once I opened my eyes, I saw the group looking at me with surprise.
"What?" I asked. They instantly snapped out of it.
"N-nothing." the Purple haired one said. I rolled my eyes, and jumped off of the vending machine, and walked to window. I scanned the area, and smiled to see no dead heads coming our way. I turned back to the group, and leaned against the wall.
"So, you have some questions better ask them now, because I plan on moving out soon." I said, and crossed my arms. The purple haired girl quickly stepped forward, and spoke.
"Um, where are we?" She asked.
"Easy, the hell hole of the country, Washington D.C." I said. "Any other dumb questions?" I said getting bored already. She was silent for a while, and finally spoke with a nervous look.
"Uhh, who are you?" She asked.
"Names Jacob, but I rather be called Jack." I said. She was about to ask another stupid question, but the pink haired girl with a long yellow shirt stepped forward, and spoke.
"Um, what happened to the others that we left in that building over there? Are they alright?" She said, and pointed to the mall. I looked out the window at the mall, and looked back at her with confused look.
"What do you think? Those dead heads surrounded the poor bastards." I said.
"Then we should go back and help them?" A girl with rainbow hair said. I just stared at her for a second, and burst out laughing. I quickly quite down in fear that I may attract dead heads, and just chuckled.
"Your kidding right? There's no way they are alive." I chuckled. They all seemed shocked by this, and stared at me.
"What do you mean?" The purple haired one asked. Soon I got tired of the joke, and my face went serious.
"Didn't you hear the screaming? The dead heads killed them. They ate them alive. Hell, half of them are probably turned into dead heads by now. There's now possible way they are alive." I said. Their shocked faces turned pale,and I could see a few tears coming from their eyes. The room was silent for a few moments, and I sighed. "Look, I'm sorry, but that's what happened. I'm sorry if you knew anyone back there, but there's no going back." I said, and pushed off of the wall. "So if you want to ask one more question, ask it now." I said. They were quite for a moment, but soon the purple haired girl spoke.
"What are you?" She asked. I just looked at her, and face palmed.
"Why did I do this?"
[Equestria]
A royal guard plunged his spear into a changeling, and ended the last of the invading changelings. Celestia stood tall with her sister panting, and covered in changeling blood. They both were inured with several cuts, and bite marks. Soon several Crystal empire soldiers ran into the throne room, covered in blood, and made way for a fully armored Shining armor. "Princess Celestia, princess Luna, thank goodness your still alive." He said, and looked around the room to see both dead changelings, and royal guards. Princess Celestia gave a weak smile, and looked to Shining armor.
"Thank goodness you, and your troops arrived." She said.
"How did you know we were under attack, and how did you get here so fast?" Luna asked.
"My scouts saw the changelings forces heading towards Canterlot, and instantly reported it. We were going to send you a warning, but some how they blocked us off, and we were unable to send you a message. So I quickly gathered my troops, and we headed here as fast as we could." He said, and looked around the throne room again. "But I see we are to late." He said. Celestia, and Luna were quite for a moment, but soon Celestia realized something, and looked towards the throne.
"Twilight!" She shouted, and sprinted towards the hidden door. She opened the hidden door, and ran down the tunnel. Luna, Shining armor, and a few guards quickly followed. Soon they came across a pack of changelings, and Celestia sliced through two of the changelings with her golden sword. Luna quickly passed by Celestia, and plunged her spear into two other changelings, and made way for Shining armor and the royal guards. They clashed with the changelings, and quickly killed them all. Celestia looked to her left, and saw a large hole. She quickly ran down the tunnel with Luna, and the others behind her. Soon they reached a room with even more changelings, and instantly jumped into action. They all quickly cleaned up the small group of changelings, and approached the shrine. Celestias eyes widened once she realized what had happened. "Oh no." She said.
"What is it?" Luna asked.
"Luna, do you know what shrine this is?" Celestia asked. Luna shook her head.
"No, I've seen nothing like this." She said.
"This is the shrine of humanity." Celestia said.
"The shrine of humanity?" Luna asked.
"Yes, didn't father show you this when we were fillies?"
"No, never." Luna said.
"This a shrine that can open a portal to another world that father said was to be a world of horror, and suffering. And look, the crystal is glowing. That must mean it was activated." She said with horror on her face.
"But who activated it?" Luna asked.
"It must have been Twilight, or some other pony."
"So are you saying they entered the portal to this world of horror, and suffering?" Luna asked.
"I'm afraid so." Celestia said, and stared at the shrine.
"I-is there a way to open the portal again?" Shining armor asked.
"Maybe, but I don't know how. My father never told me how to open the portal." Celestia said. "Until I figure out how to, all we can do is wish Twilight, and the rest good luck." Celestia said. Celestia stared at the shrine, and closed her eyes.
"Please be safe Twilight."

No place for magic or friendship
Back on the road to hell.
For a few moments I just stood there, staring at the group, and sighed. "What do you mean, what am I? I'm fucking human." I said.
"Human? I've never heard of your species." She said.
"You never heard of your own kind? Man, I bet you did terrible in school." I mocked, and chuckled.
"But we're not humans." A girl with a cowboy hat, and blond hair said.
"Then what the fuck are you?" I asked.
"Ponies." The purple haired girl said. I was silent for several seconds, trying to hold back my laughter, and felt my face turn red because of the struggle. "What's so funny?" She asked. I soon gained control, and chuckled.
"Your ponies?" I asked. They all nodded. "You guys are fucking stupid, I may just leave you all here." I said, and shook my head.
"But we are ponies!" The purple haired girl said. I crossed my arms, and smirked.
"Then prove it." I said. She smirked back, and closed her eyes. I raised an eyebrow in confusion as she looked to be struggleing with something. Soon her face turned red, and I noticed she was holding her breathe. "Whoa, whoa, whoa, I said prove it, not kill yourself." I said. Soon she took in a gulp of air, and panted.
"Why isn't my magic working?" She said with shocked eyes.
"Cause magic isn't real." I said. I sighed, and rubbed my head. "Look, I could care less about what you think you are. What I really care about is leaving this dead city. So either you get ready to leave, or you can stay here, and wait for the dead heads to come smashing through that door." I said. They all huddled up, and began to mumble something to each other. Soon they broke the huddle, and the purple haired girl spoke.
"Fine, we'll come with you. But you have to answer more of my questions when we leave the city." She said. I shrugged.
"Whatever." I said, and scanned the group one more time. "But before we leave, we have to make a few changes with your cloths." I said, and pulled out my knife. "You, with the dress, come here." I said, and pointed to a girl in white. She slowly approached, and once she was close enough I grabbed her dress, and slashed through her skirt. She yelped, and pleaded for me to stop, but I ignored her, and tore the skirt apart. Soon almost both of her legs were entirely visible, and I had to admit, they looked good. Once I was done looking, I looked up to see her a bit angry. "What?" I asked.
"You ruined my dress!" She growled.
"You wanna run faster don't you?" I said. She huffed, and rolled her eyes. I rose to my feet, and sighed. "Now, everyone follow me, and stay close. If you get bit, or dragged away there's nothing I can do to save you. Got it?" I said. They all nodded, and I put on my gas mask. "Good, now lets go." Soon we exited the police station, and made our way into an ally way. As we were quickly making our way through the ally, multiple screams could be heard. and I quickly duct behind a pile of trash. The others quickly copied me, and got into cover. I peeked out of cover, and saw at least ten dead heads run pass the ally. I smiled, and motioned the others to follow me. As quickly as possible we made our way out of the ally, and made it to a military truck on the side of the road. I quickly checked the truck, and found nothing useful, only a few dead bodies, and empty shell casings. I huffed, and we continued through the city. For a couple hours we ran, and hid, ran and hid. It was easy avoiding dead heads, but it was really annoying having to make sure the rest of the group followed my every move. We soon made it to a street that led straight to the highway where my RV was, but there was a problem. At least a hundred dead heads, and old abandoned cars blocked our path, and the entrance to the highway was blocked off by a hill of crashed cars. I quickly ran into an old clothing store, and closed the door once the others made it in. I used a few empty shelves to block the doors, and looked out the window with a pissed off face under my mask. "I knew I should have left yesterday, I just fucking knew something like this would happen. Fuck!" I growled, and sighed,
"Whats wrong?" I looked back, and saw the blonde girl looking at me with a concerned look. I chuckled, and shot my arms into the air.
"Oh nothing, nothing at all, we just have a shit ton of hungry dead heads, and old fucking cars blocking our way to our escape, and I have to worry about a bunch of fuckers who came out of some kind of portal, and who think they are fucking ponies with magic! Oh, and lets not forget the fact that the only way out of this fucking city is that fucking highway because the fucking military thought it would be a good idea to block every fucking entrance into the city!" I said. She only backed away to her group who were covering the children's ears because of my choice of words, and got the message that I needed to think. I sighed, and returned my attention to the streets. They were every where, and they just stood there, staring at nothing while twitching like crazy. Of course, today had to be the day these bastards stood still, just my luck. I soon turned around, and walked towards the back door. "Come on, there should be another way out." I said, and opened the back door. It looked clear, so I walked out with my gun ready for action. I was about to say something to the group, but before I knew it I felt something slam into the side of my face. I fell to the side of the ground hard, and tried to push myself to my feet, but felt something hold me down. I struggled, and grunted, but soon I stopped once I saw a Revolver pointing straight at my head. I looked past the gun, and saw a man with a black gas mask wearing a black hoodie, and cargo pants. "Shit." I mumbled.
"Better stop moving." A masked figure said. He took my AR-15, and threw it to another masked man who was pointing an AK-47 at the group. He started to search through my back pack, and my pockets while keeping his Revolver planted onto the side of my head. "Where's the rest of your gang?" The masked figure asked. I was silent for a moment, and spoke.
"I'm not in a gang asshole." I said. He slammed my head onto the ground, and put his Revolver under my chin.
"Don't lie to me you scum bag!" He growled. "Your working for the Red hand aren't you?" He asked.
"I don't know who your talking about dude, I work alone." I said.
"Then who are these people?" He asked, and pointed his Revolver at the group. "They your new slaves, or are they just new blood?"
"Their just a few idiots that needed my help." I said. "I don't work with these Red hand assholes, alright. I swear." I said. It was silent for a few moments, but soon the other masked figure spoke.
"Maybe he's telling the truth." He said.
"And how the fuck do you know that Sean?" The asshole asked.
"Don't they have some kind of symbol on them? Check for a symbol on his neck, I remember when we were at their camp, and they all had a red hand on their necks." He said. The person on me quickly checked my neck, and sighed.
"Shit." He said, and quickly jumped off of me. "Sorry buddy." He said, and chuckled. I quickly jumped to my feet, and glared through my gas mask.
"Screw you, you point a gun at my head, and say your sorry?" I asked in a pissed of tone.
"Look we had a bad couple of days, and we've been on edge. Give us a break." He said.
"I think every fucking human that isn't a dead head is on edge." I said. "Also, can you stop pointing your gun at them?" I asked.
"Oh, sorry." Sean said, and lowered his weapon. "I'm Sean, and this is Tyler." He said, and pulled off his gas mask, and flipped his hoodie off of his head. He was a pale, young man with a bit of hair on his chin, and blonde hair on his head. Soon Tyler took of his mask, and removed his hoodie. He was also young, and had tanned skin, and his face, and head had blonde hair.
"Again, sorry about that." Tyler said, and put away his Revolver. Soon Sean threw me my AR-15, and chuckled.
"And sorry for taking your shit." He said. I caught my weapon, and swung it onto my back.
"Yeah, yeah I get it, your sorry." I said, and looked to the group. "You all okay?" I asked. They all nodded, and I sighed. "Names Jack." I said.
"So Jack, where you guys heading?" Sean asked.
"Well we were going to leave the city through the highway, but a bunch of dead heads blocked our way." I said.
"Same here, we were just about to leave through the highway, but now that you tell us the situation we're out of ideas." Tyler said.
"Maybe we can help each other out." Sean said.
"How?" I asked.
"Well, I have an air horn that I use to attract the infected just in case shit gets real, but I'm not sure I wanna use it." He said, and smirked.
"What are you getting at?" I asked. Sean looked to Tyler, and soon they both were smirking.
"We saw your RV from the hotels roof, and saw it as our escape. At first we thought you were one of the Red hand pricks, but now that we see you aren't we want to tag along with you until we get to Texas." Tyler said.
"Why Texas?" I asked.
"Heard it was safe." Sean said.
"And it's almost suicide to travel on foot." Tyler said. "That RV could be our ticket to safety."
"What makes Texas safe?" I asked.
"A couple travelers told us that Texas was the safest place in the country, and they said that they saw a few black hawks flying in, and out. So that must mean the military is there." Tyler said. I chuckled, and shrugged.
"Whatever, if you have a way for us to get out of the city, then I'm on board." I said, and stuck out my hand. "I'll take you to Texas, if you get me to the RV." I said.
"Why should we trust you?" Sean asked. I smirked under my mask.
"Cause I'm your only ticket to Texas." I said. They both smiled, and shrugged.
"Why the fuck not." Sean said, and shook my hand.
"Our best chance." Tyler said, and shook my hand.
"Now that we are together, lets figure out how this all goes down." I said.
"Not much to figure out, just some tape, a air horn, and a whole lot of stamina." Sean said, and pulled out a air horn. Tyelr pulled out some tape, and handed it to Sean. "You all get into position, and I'll start the party. Once they come running you all fucking bolt to the RV." He said. I nodded, and looked to the group.
"Ya hear that, stay on my ass, and don't stop running." I said. They all nodded, and I led them down an ally with Tyler while Sean ran the other way. We got into place, and awaited for Sean to start the distraction. Tyler pulled out swung a M24 from his back, and put his mask back on.
"Ready?" He asked. A smirk formed under my mask, and I chuckled.
"I'm always ready." I said. A few minutes passed, and everything was quite. That is until the sound of an air horn went off, and sent the horde of dead heads into a insane bloodthirsty frenzy. The dead heads charged towards the sound, and cleared the streets. We quickly made our move, and sprinted down the street. I kept my guard up, and scanned the area as I ran with Tyler, and the group. As we were running, I looked up to the roofs only to feel my heart skip a beat. On the roof was a man aiming his weapon at us. Before the man could fire, I lifted my AR-15, and fired a few rounds. I hit my target, but he let out a storm of lead, and heard a scream echo from behind me. I looked back, and saw an old lady laying on the ground bleeding. "Shit!" I growled, and ran to the lady. I knelt down beside her, and checked saw that she was shot three times in the chest.
"Dear Celestia, Granny Smith!" In the blink of an eye the blonde girl ran to the injured lady, and lifted her head up with her hand. "A-are you alright!? Oh dear Celestia there's so much blood!" She yelled, and began to cry. I was about to say something, but I soon heard hundreds of screams echo in the distance. I looked to Tyler, and saw a dead head quickly charging from behind him.
"Watch out!" I yelled, and pointed to the dead head. Tyler quickly spun around, and fired one shot into a dead heads skull.
"We gotta go man, come on!" He yelled. I got back up, and scanned the roof tops for anymore of those assholes. Luckily it was clear.
"Granny Smith!" I looked back to the bleeding lady, and saw that her face went pale, and she had stopped breathing. She was gone. I cussed under my breathe, and looked to the rest of the group who were only staring in horror.
"Grab her, and lets move!" I said. They were still frozen for a few seconds, but soon a large man garbed the girl, carried her away from the corpse. She fought back, but the man was to strong, and looked to me, waiting for me to move on. I spun around, and motioned everyone to follow me. "Go, go, go!" I shouted. We all sprinted through the street as fast as we could, and began to hear more gunfire. Soon I spotted Sean at the entrance of highway on a pile crashed cars firing his AK-47 into a group of dead heads. I looked behind me, and pass the group, and saw a large horde of dead heads entering the streets, and charging right for us. I let the rest of the group pass me, and turned around towards the horde. I quickly aimed, and fired single shots into their heads. Once I emptied my magazine, and spun around, and sprinted for the group. As I spun around I saw the group, Tyler, and Sean climbing the hill of crashed cars. I could hear the dead heads getting closer, and closer by the second and screamed to my legs to move faster. Thank god they listened, and I started to pick up the pace. But as I was sprinting a dead head jumped from a car, and grabbed my AR-15. I knew I didn't have time to fight over the gun, so I quickly removed the strap attached to my gun, and pushed the dead head down with my AR still in his hands. I screamed in my head, and cussed myself out as I began to sprint to freedom. I pulled out my hammer smashed it into a dead head who was stuck in a old car window.
I soon reached the exit, and begun to climb like I damn monkey with it's tail on fire, but as I was halfway there I felt something grab onto my leg, and pull me down. I looked back and saw a dead head holding onto my leg, and attempting to take a bite out of me. I struggled, and pulled myself up, but I slipped, and I felt the dead head climb on top of my back. I knew it was over, and closed my eyes, waiting for the worst. But time seemed to slow down as I opened my eyes, and looked up to see Tyler, and Sean standing over me with their weapons drawn. Time snapped back, and they both began to fire onto the horde. I felt the dead on me let go, and scrambled up the pile of cars. Tyler grabbed me, and yanked me up to the top.
"MOVE!" He screamed. We all jumped off of the hill of cars, and bolted towards the armored RV where the group was waiting. We reached the RV, and everyone jumped in. I went to close the door, and saw the horde climbing over the hill of cars, and smiled under my mask.
"Later fuckers." I said, and closed the door. I quickly threw my back pack in the back, sat in the drivers seat, and started her up. With out a second thought I stepped on it, and we smashed pass a few cars, and begun to drive down the highway. I was panting, and felt the sweat in my hair, and running down my face under my mask. I pulled off my mask, and took in a deep breathe. I kept my eyes on the road, and heard the sound of crying from the back. I sighed, and tightened my grip on the wheel. I truly felt bad for the girl, but I knew it was probably for the best. One less mouth to feed. As I was driving, Tyler walked up beside me, and patted me on the shoulder. I kept my eyes on the road, and smiled. "Hey man, thanks for the help back there, I thought I was done for." I said. He chuckled.
"No problem. I promised you I get ya to this RV didn't I?" He said. I chuckled, and nodded.
"Yeah, so I guess I'll have to keep to my part of the deal." I said. He patted my shoulder again, and was about to walk back, but I quickly grabbed onto his arm with my eyes still on the road. "Do me a favor, and check on the group back there, and just ignore the weird crap they tell ya. I think they are a bit loco." I said. "But I did meet them in a... strange way."
"Sure." He said, and walked back. I sighed once again, and stared at the road. I could tell things have just gotten way more interesting in the end of the world, and that more shit would follow me, and my new group. As I was thinking, I began to chuckle. I nearly died, and for some reason I found it funny. Ever since the shit hit the fan in the world I've had shit luck, and I mean SHIT luck. But for some reason luck handed me a towel to wipe away the shit, and ya know what, I love it. I stopped chuckling, and reached for the radio. I put in an old disc with my favorite songs on it, and slipped it in with a grin. Soon the music began to play, and my smile grew even larger.
"Back on the road to hell again."
