Zombie Apocalypse: Equestriaby Raging BulletChaptersFirst EncounterThe Escape from PonyvilleNew MembersScavenging First EncounterRaging Bullets house Everfree forest 9:00 AM "We have reports of the outbreak being worse in the cities. The source of the outbreak is still unknown but scientist are working hard to find a cure to this. Infected individuals show higher signs of hostility and should not be confronted." The news pony said on the television on Raging Bullets kitchen counter. "Please all this is crap. I am sure this will all blow over in a couple days or so." Raging Bullet said as he drank some coffee and put his suit on. He holstered his Colt 1911 in his concealed carry holster and walked out the door to his car. He started the engine of his car and headed of to work. Raging Bullet turned on the radio, only to hear an emergency broadcast from the Equestria Broadcast Channel . "...I will now read off a list of cities and their current catastrophe level. Canterlot level 9, Fillydelphia level 8, Las Pegasus level 8, Baltimare level 7..." Raging Bullet turned off his radio. "Wow. maybe this wont blow over soon." Raging said to himself as he looked at his phone. When he looked back up there was a pony walking in the road. "Oh shit!" Raging Bullet yelled as he turned hard left on the wheel. The car swerved off the road into a tree. Raging Bullet woke up to see the pony slowly trot to to his car and start banging on the glass, blood was hanging from his mouth and there was blood sticking to the glass where the pony started hitting it. His clothing was tattered and covered in blood. Raging Bullet unholstered his Colt 1911 and put two shots through the glass of his side window into the ponies skull. "Oh shit! I just shot somepony. Okay calm down Raging you did it in self defense." Raging Bullet told himself. Raging Bullet opened the door to the car to look at who he shot. When he looked at the body it was all decayed and hard to make out who it was. "I better find out where I am." Raging Bullet looked around and saw a sign that read "Ponyville- 2 Miles" and under the word were "Under Military Quarantine" in white paint. "Well that looks like my only option now." and Raging Bullet walked off Raging Bullet walked for the next two miles in complete silence while pondering what just happened in his mind. When he got to the outskirts of Ponyville there was an abandoned military checkpoint. "What the hell..." Raging Bullet said as he walked past the empty sandbags and rotting corpses. "Ugh. This is horrible." Raging Bullet said. A moaning sound came from one of the soldiers bodies on the ground. "Hello? Are you hurt?" Raging Bullet asked as he slowly approached the body. Raging Bullet slowly got down to the body, then it lunged at him. "Oh fuck!" Raging Bullet said as he quickly drew his 1911 and shot the stallion in the head. Raging Bullet checked the body for any type of weapon. All he found was a standard issue Beretta M9 and two magazines. He holstered the M9 in his Conceal carry holster and put his Colt 1911 in his suit pocket and continued walking toward the town. He was hoping he could find somepony to tell him what is going on but the town was empty. He walked to the town hall and saw a small military camp set up with dead soldiers all over the camp. "What the hell... This is worse than I thought." Raging Bullet said as he started to leave the area. He decided to try to find somepony, anypony who could tell him what was going on and what happened. As Raging Bullet walked past a bakery he heard "PSSST! OVER HERE, HURRY" in a loud whisper tone came from a colorful bakery. Raging Bullet quickly ran to the sound of the call and a Pink pony opened the door to let him in. "What the hell is going on here!" Raging Bullet yelled as he got inside. "Shhh. I will tell you what happened but keep your voice down or those things will hear you. By the way I am Pinkie Pie" Pinkie said. "Okay I am sorry but what happened here? It looks like a war went on." Raging Bullet whispered. "A war did go on." A stallion said as he appeared from the shadows. 'I am Captain SureShot I was in what is left of the military you saw out there." SureShot said. "I am very sorry to hear that" Raging Bullet said. "Dont worry about it, nothing could have been done, But when the bigger cities, Baltimare, Manehatten, Canterlot and so on fell to the outbreak so we started to quarantine smaller towns like this town you see here. Only 1 by 1 they all started to fall. eventually there were too many infected and not enough ponies to defend the town. soon everything went to shit and it just became every pony for themselves. I quickly ran to the nearest building and met Pinkie Pie here." SureShot said "you were lucky to make it out of that mess. I saw all the dead bodies." Raging Bullet said "I was, but its getting late. Lets all get some sleep. we need to work on a plan." SureShot said in a stern voice. "Plan? Plan for what?" Raging Bullet asked. "We need to get out of here. maybe somewhere near here that is easily defendable" SureShot said. Raging Bullet started to pace the room. "Okay lets say we find a place to defend ourselves, then what?" Raging Bullet asked. "We scavange supplies, find more ponies and just survive." SureShot said. "Captain we will need fuel for any vehicles we have. Any chance you know where to get some?" Raging Bullet asked. "Back at the town hall we had a refueling truck for our humvees. If it is quiet tomorrow like it was today we might be able to get some gas, refuel two cars and head to the Everfree." SureShot said. "That is a good plan. What types of weapons do you have in case things aren't as quiet as they were today?" Raging Bullet asked. "I have a military issue M4 with an Acog scope along with a Beretta M9." SureShot said. "I, uhh... took this off a dead soldier" Raging Bullet said unholstering the M9. "How many mags do you have?" SureShot asked. "I was only able to find two but I also have a Colt 1911 with only 5 rounds left." Raging Bullet said as he pulled out his 1911. "Okay we will work on a plan tomorrow but for now lets get some rest. I am going to go upstairs on the balcony and keep watch over things." SureShot said. "I can swap in with you after a little while, just wake me when you need some rest." Raging Bullet said as he walked over to a couch in Pinkies room and fell asleep. The Escape from PonyvilleSugarcube Corner Ponyville 5:00 Am "Hey, get up you might want to see this." SureShot said while shaking Raging Bullets shoulder. Raging Bullet got up slowly and wiped the grogginess from his eyes. He got off the couch and walked over next to SureShot and took a look at what he was talking about. Off in the distance Raging Bullet saw what appeared to be a huge group of infected. "We are going to need to do this now." SureShot said as he surveyed the abandoned military base. "Ok well you look like you know what your doing with that rifle, if you can see the base from here I can sneak in and you give me cover while I grab the truck. I will drive it back here and then we can get as much fuel out of it as we can." Raging Bullet said as he went back inside to check his guns and ammo. "What about Pinkie Pie? Is she going to do anything?" SureShot said as he motioned toward the sleeping pony in her bed. "Unless she knows how to shoot I want her here, and I have a job for her as well." Raging Bullet said as he continued to check his guns. "Oh? and what would that be" SureShot said as he checked his own rifle. "We are going to need food, she seems like the right pony to put in charge of getting as much food packed as she can. When I get back then we will all fill as many gas cans as we can to refuel some cars." Raging Bullet said as he holstered his gun. "I want her awake to hear the plan." SureShot said as he walked over to Pinkie Pie. "Hey you need to get up. we have a plan and we need you to pack as much food as you can." SureShot said "Huh? What? Its 5 AM what do you need me to do?" Pinkie Pie asked still waking up "We need you to pack food, there is a large group of infected headed to the town and we need to start earlier than expected because of it. Raging Bullet is going to run into the camp and grab the fuel truck. You need to be ready to go with that food while Raging Bullet and I refill some gas cans and refuel some cars." SureShot explained to Pinkie Pie. "Um... Ok? I will pack what I can. OOOH maybe I can make us cupcakes!" Pinkie Pie shouted as she started to jump on her bed. "Shhh. Keep it down we need it to be quiet if I am going to go out there unnoticed." Raging Bullet said shushing Pinkie Pie. "Oops. sorry." Pinkie Pie said apologetically. "Its ok. Well start packing that food and i am going to head out, oh and Pinkie Pie, Take this." Raging Bullet said as he pulled out his Colt 1911 and handed it to Pinkie Pie. "I can teach you how to shoot later but keep it with you just in case something happens and neither of us are here." Raging Bullet said. "Ok I will head out now, this needs to be done. SureShot get out to that balcony and keep an eye on me." Raging Bullet motioned toward SureShot "Got it" SureShot said as he grabbed his rifle and headed to the balcony Raging Bullet walked over to the door and slowly opened it and slowly trotted out. When he got to the end of the street he got against the side of a wall when he heard moaning. "Fuck" Raging Bullet said as he reached for his gun. he realized that a shot from the gun could bring on more infected. "Shit I should have grabbed a knife or something." Raging Bullet said to himself. He finally pulled out his M9, turned the corned and hit the infected in the infected in the head. The mare fell down on the ground but slowly got back up. Raging Bullet hit her again and bashed her head in. Raging Bullet quickly left and made his way to the camp. "Okay so where is this truck." Raging Bullet said to himself. He ducked behind a sandbag wall when he heard moaning from the other side. He looked around for a weapon on a dead soldiers body and found a combat knife. Clutching onto the knife he quickly looked over the barricade and drove the knife into the infected soldiers helmet. "Oh you have got to be kidding me..." Raging Bullet said as the knife got stuck in the infected soldiers helmet. He turned and ran. He ran until he came into view of what looked like a giant fuel tank. When he got closer he realized it was the refueling truck. Raging Bullet quickly hopped in the truck and looked for a key. He eventually found it on the floor of the truck. He quickly turned on the engine and sped off back to Sugarcube Corner. "Okay now I just need to park this in a place where we can refuel some cars and not get noticed while doing it." Raging Bullet said as he started to ponder areas to do that. He eventually made it back to Sugarcube Corner and parked in the back. As he walked through the door he heard gunshots from upstairs. "Oh no..." Raging Bullet said as he sprinted upstairs to see what was going on. When he got halfway up the stairs he heard moaning in the hall. He quickly drew his M9 and continued up the stairs. When he made it to the top he saw a group of about 6 infected crowding the door to Pinkies room. Raging Bullet aimed at the infected and fired off a shot, killing one of the infected. He fired off two more shots killing the next two closest to him and killed them, blood splattered on the wall behind them as they fell to the ground. he fired off another shot and killed another one before he had to turn and run before they could get to him. Raging Bullet ran down the stairs into the kitchen and grabbed a knife and waited for the infected to walk through the doors. Not long after he grabbed the knife the first infected came through the door and Raging Bullet drove the knife into the infected ponies head. He tried to pull it out as the second infected came through the door and knocked Raging Bullet on his back. With the knife out of reach Raging Bullet struggled to fight off the infected when a gunshot went off and the head of the pony exploded. "You alright?" SureShot asked with his rifle still drawn. "You didn't get bit did you?" SureShot asked as he walked closer to Raging Bullet. "No I am fine. What about you and Pinkie? are you guys okay? What happened?" Raging Bullet said as he got up and steadied himself. "Pinkie Pie and I are fine, a couple of infected heard Pinkie drop a pan and started to bunch up at the door thats when the door gave way and the infected came in. We ran upstairs and locked the door and Pinkie Pie accidentally fired off a shot with the Colt that you gave her. And then I heard gunshots from outside the door and realized it must be you." SureShot explained "We need to go those shots will have brought more infected from throughout the town. Pinkie Pie! grab what ever you packed and lets go!" Raging Bullet yelled to Pinkie "I got them in some bags I'll go get them." Pinkie Pie yelled back "Okay lets start refueling the two cars in front of the store." Raging Bullet said as he grabbed a gas can from the truck. For the next 15 minutes they refueled the two cars in front of Sugarcube Corner while Pinkie loaded in the food in. "Okay are we ready to go? Raging Bullet asked Pinkie and SureShot "I am ready. Are you SureShot?" Pinkie Pie asked glancing over at SureShot "I am all set, but where will we go?" SureShot asked looking over at Raging Bullet "Pinkie Pie your the local here, do you know of any secluded areas that are close to Ponyville for supply runs?" Raging Bullet asked looking at Pinkie "Um... there is Sweet Apple Acres. Its an apple farm a couple miles from Ponyville and it grows apples we can eat." Pinkie Pie explained "Ok lets go there then." SureShot said hopping into the car. Raging Bullet got in the car with Pinkie Pie and she drove them to Sweet Apple Acres. When they got to the gate at Sweet Apple Acres it was barricaded by old furniture and there was nopony around. "Well looks like this is as far as our cars go." Raging Bullet said as he got out of the car and hopped over the barricade. "Wait! They may still be home. They wouldn't have put up a barricade for nothing." Pinkie Pie said worriedly "Who lives here this place looks abandoned." SureShot said surveying the area. "The Apple family. They own this farm." Pinkie Pie explained "Well lets take a look around and maybe we can find them." Raging Bullet said as he started to walk to the farm house. As Raging Bullet walked up to the house he knocked on the door. Nopony answered so he walked in. The inside of the the house there was furniture strewn everywhere. There was some blood on the wall and bullet holes everywhere. "Geez, maybe this wont be as good of a camp as we thought." Raging Bullet said to himself He walked around outside and called over Pinkie Pie and SureShot to tell them what he found. "Well the house is a mess, and there are bullet holes everywhere. SureShot did you find anything? Raging Bullet asked SureShot "I surveyed the area and found nothing. I noticed a cellar door over there." SureShot said as he motioned toward the door on the side of the house. "Maybe they have some stuff we can use down there, tools or something to reinforce the fences." SureShot said as he looked at the front gate. "Yea I'll head down there to make sure its clear." Raging Bullet said as he walked over to the cellar door. He slowly opened the door and unholstered his gun. He finally made it to the bottom and saw somepony, he drew his gun... "What the Hell..." Raging Bullet said in disbelief. "Who the hay are you!" New MembersSweet Apple Acres Outskirts of Ponyville 4:00 PM The lighting in the cellar was very dim and it took Raging Bullet a second to get his eyes to adjust. "Drop the gun." Said a deep voice as a shotgun was heard being cocked. "Who are you and why are you here?" the voice said again. Raging Bullet unloaded his gun and put it on the ground. "My name is Raging Bullet, we came up here because we were looking for a place to set up a camp to survive." Raging Bullet explained. "My friend SureShot and Pinkie Pie are up there. Coming here was Pinkie Pies idea." Raging Bullet explained as he turned around to see a red coated stallion pointing a shotgun at his head. "You know Pinkie Pie?" said an orange mare. "She is mah friend, how did yah meet her?" asked the mare. "Well my car had crashed two miles out from Ponyville and as I wandered the streets she got my attention and called me inside her bakery. There I met SureShot, a Captain of the military that was stationed there." Raging Bullet explained, he turned around to the red stallion "Could you please put that down, I don't like having guns pointed at my head." Raging Bullet said as the red stallion lowered the shotgun. "Sorry, By the way I am Big Mac, These are my sisters Applejack and Applebloom, And that is Granny Smith." Big Mac said. Raging Bullet looked around and his eyes adjusted more to the dim light and he made out the three mares in front of him. "Nice to meet you all. Do you mind if I reholster my gun?" Raging Bullet asked turning to Big Mac. "Yea sorry bout the shotgun, you could have been an invader for all we knew. It wouldn't be the first time..." Big Mac said trailing off. "Well I want to make a proposal. We have gas, guns and people. I think we should pool start a camp up here. Me and SureShot know how to shoot so we could provide some defences." Raging Bullet explained "Well ah dont know. Granny what do you think?" Applejack said looking at Granny Smith "Ah dont know. What else could you do for us?" Granny Smith asked "Well what else do you need done?" Raging Bullet asked "We could use some more workers in the field, and we also need to reinforce our fences." Granny Smith said pondering if anything else needed to be done. "Done, We can help you guys out with whatever you need done." Raging Bullet said. "Then its a deal. Lets go up there and start preparing for the work ahead of us." Applejack said and they all started to leave the cellar. When the Apple family got out of the cellar Pinkie Pie jumped on top of Applejack and hugged her as tight as she could. "OH I MISSED YOU GUYS SO MUCH" She said as she squeezed Applejack tighter. "Uh.. We missed you too Pinkie." Applejack said returning the hug. For the next hour the group started to remove the barricade of furniture to let the cars get onto the property. Then Big Mac took SureShot and Raging Bullet over to a shed to get some supplies to start reinforcing the fence. "This may take a while, maybe late into the night so we are going to need somepony to keep watch on us while we work." Big Mac said. "We should be fine for now but lets get as much done as we can before it starts getting late." "Well lets get going then." SureShot said. Big Mac, Raging Bullet and SureShot started to work on the fence while Granny Smith, Pinkie Pie, Applejack and Applebloom went inside and started to clean up the house. As the day started to turn to night the reinforcement of the front gate fences were just finishing up before Big Mac decided to call it a night. "I think we have done all we can for today. Lets head inside and see how the house..." Big Mac trailed off as he saw an infected pony in the distance. "What is it?" Raging Bullet asked as he looked in the same direction as Big Mac, just barely seeing the infected pony. "SureShot could you make the shot from here?" Raging Bullet asked "Easily." SureShot said as he grabbed his rifle and lined up his shot. The gunshot echoed through the hills and the pony fell to the ground. "What the hay was that!" Applejack yelled as she ran out of the house "SureShot took down one of the infected." Raging Bullet explained "What if somepony else heard that gunshot, what if a large group of those things heard that? Then what?" Applejack said as she glared at SureShot "Calm down sis, no pony heard that and with Raging Bullet and SureShot here he dont need to worry about anypony sneaking onto the farm at night." Big Mac said trying to calm down Applejack. "Look its getting late I think we should all turn in for the night. You guys coming?" "Yea one second. I need to discuss some things with SureShot." Raging Bullet said as he started to walk to SureShot "What do you need to discuss?" SureShot asked "Our shifts on watch. I think I should take first shift, you need the rest since you didn't wake me up to take over last night." Raging Bullet said as he rested against a fence. "I am going to need your rifle though, to keep an eye on things." "Of course. do you know how to use this type of weapon?" SureShot asked, handing over the rifle to Raging Bullet "I've had some training" Raging Bullet said as he slung the rifle on his back "Okay lets head in." SureShot said as he started to walk back to the house. on the way back to the house Raging Bullet and SureShot discussed the shifts they would be in for the night. When they made it to the house they were surprised to see all of the furniture put back in place and the blood cleaned off the walls. The bullet holes were still there but there was nothing that could have been done about those today. "Wow they really did a good job fixing up the place." SureShot said as he looked at all the furniture. "I am going to head over to the barn, i can get a good view of the land from up there." Raging Bullet said as he trotted off to the barn. SureShot lied down on the couch and just started to think about everything that happened and the close call he had back at Sugarcube Corner. Eventually he found a comfortable position and fell asleep. Raging Bullet on the other hoof was sitting in the loft of the barn with the rifle leaning against the wall. He looked out toward the main gate then over to the fence he stayed on watch for the next couple of hours. When his watch read 2:00 AM he picked up the rifle and started to make his way back to the house. When he was about halfway back he heard a moaning sound coming from the rows of trees. Raging Bullet took out his flashlight and shone it on the trees. He looked around for the next five minutes. Finding nothing he turned his light off and headed back to the house. When he walked inside he made sure not to wake anypony up that was sleeping. he made his way to the couch where SureShot was sleeping and quietly woke him up. "Hey its your shift now, oh and watch out I heard moaning coming from one of the orchards but i couldnt find the source so be careful out there." Raging Bullet explained as SureShot got up and suited up. "I will be sure to keep a look out in the orchard." SureShot said as he finally was ready to head out. Raging Bullet lied down on the couch and quickly fell into a deep sleep... Scavenging Scavenging Sweet Apple Acres Outskirts of Ponyville 5:00 AM Raging Bullet woke up to SureShot shaking his shoulder. "Get up we have allot to do today." SureShot said. "What? What time is it?" Raging Bullet asked as he looked over at the grandfather clock against the wall. He then got out off of the couch and walked over to the door where SureShot was waiting. "Come on. We need to go scavenging, we need more fuel for our cars, and some more rifles and ammo never hurt either." SureShot said as he lead Raging Bullet out of the house. "Let me just go run to Big Mac and tell him we're going on a run." SureShot said as he ran over to Big Mac, Who was loading hay into a barn. "Hey Big mac, Raging Bullet and I are going on a run to Ponyville for some more fuel and if possible some more guns and ammo." SureShot told Big Mac "Dont take too long, we have allot of work to do on the farm today." Big Mac told SureShot "We should only be gone for about an hour or so." SureShot said to Big Mac With that Raging Bullet and SureShot hopped into the silver sedan and drove to Ponyville. they drove until they were about a half mile from the town and parked their car behind some trees to hide it. "We walk from here. A car would make too much noise. Do you think the fuel truck is still where we left it?" SureShot asked Raging Bullet as they started to walk toward the town. "If its not we can always siphon some cars, and what about the guns? You were stationed at Ponyville you must know where the armory is right?" Raging Bullet asked "We had the armory set up at the town hall, but I don't know how overrun it is." SureShot said as they got closer to Ponyville. "Did you guys have any suppressors at that armory?" Raging Bullet asked "We did." SureShot answered. "Then I think we should go for the guns first, it will make getting to that truck allot more easier if we can kill the infected with not allot of noise." Raging Bullet said as they made it to an abandoned military checkpoint leading into Ponyville. "Damn, Did you know any of these soldiers?" Raging Bullet asked. "No, but lets check them for any ammo." SureShot said as he trotted over to a rotting corpse. In total there were 6 bodies there, and all they got was some more another M4 Carbine with iron sights, 2 combat knives and a couple of assorted magazines for pistols and rifles. SureShot saw a flare sticking out of a soldiers pocket and he took it and put it in his bag. "Here take this." SureShot said as he handed Raging Bullet the rifle. "Use it only when you need to, we dont have too much ammo to waste as it is. Raging Bullet took the rifle and slung it on his back. They loaded the rest of the ammo they found into their saddle bags and continued to Ponyville. They finally made it to the streets of Ponyville but they were filled with hundreds of infected. "Oh Shit. Get down." SureShot said as they ducked behind some garbage cans. SureShot peeked over the top of the cans to see just how many were there. "Damn, must have been the herd we saw the day we left." SureShot said "Well we might be able to get around it in the alleys. We cant take them all on, we don't have nearly enough ammo." Raging Bullet said. "Lets go through the alleys, it will be safer and most likely have less infected. "Your right, lets go." SureShot said and then they made their way to the alleys behind the houses. They walked in silence as they made their way to the town hall. "How many infected do you think will be there?" SureShot asked looking over at Raging Bullet "Your guess is as good as mine, But from what what I saw when I was there last time it might be more. Raging Bullet said as they continued to walk behind the houses. They eventually made it to the town hall and got behind some trashcans to avoid being spotted by the infected. They silently made their way to a sandbag wall and got down low. Raging Bullet peeked over the wall to see how many of the infected there were. He saw a mix of soldiers and civilians and got back down before he was noticed. "There are about 15 of them just in the open over there, were is the armory located again?" Raging Bullet asked looking over at SureShot. "The armory is inside the town hall..." "Which just happens to be guarded by about 15-20 infected" Raging Bullet added. "Right, we have our combat knives from the soldiers at that one checkpoint. I say we just make a run for the town hall and take down any infected that get in our way." SureShot said as he peeked over the sandbags. "One problem though. These knives cant go through the helmets of the soldiers, and I see more soldier infected than civilian infected. Do you have anything that might draw their attention?" Raging Bullet asked as he went through his bag. "I managed to pickup a flare off of one of the infected we saw at the checkpoint." SureShot said as he pulled the flare from his bag. "Okay, lets hope that these things are drawn by sight and sound." Raging Bullet said SureShot pulled the cap off of the flare and threw it off to the side. As the flare flew threw the air the heads of the infected turned and started to follow it. "Now's our chance." SureShot said as he and Raging Bullet got up and sprinted to the door and got inside. The room was dimly lit because the windows were boarded up. SureShot pulled out a flashlight, turned it on and looked around. In the center of the room there were maps and charts of Ponyville with markings of where certain military setups were. As they walked around and looked for anything useful. "Is there even anything we can use here?" Raging Bullet asked as he looked through some papers on a table. "I was hoping we might be able to find a radio to contact the command center with but I don't see anything here. SureShot said as he waved his flashlight around. "Lets just get to the armory. We have already been here a half hour and we said we were only going to be an hour so we better get a move on." Raging Bullet said as he walked over to SureShot "Alright, Armory is this way." SureShot said as he made his way to the back of the room. Raging Bullet followed SureShot as he went behind the stage and saw a makeshift armory set up behind the curtain. "Damn, most of it is gone, but lets look around for ammo and possibly more guns." SureShot said as he made his way over to a weapon rack. "Where would the suppressors be?" Raging Bullet asked as he walked over to an empty ammo tin. "Your just going to have to look around." SureShot said as he examined a high powered rifle. "Alright." Raging Bullet said as he started to go through some boxes. As he was looking through a bow he saw a box filled with all sorts of metal tubes. "Hey are these suppressors?" He asked as he motioned for SureShot to come over. "Yea, they should just screw on to the end of your gun." SureShot said as he picked one up and attached it to his M9. Raging Bullet picked up one of the suppressors and screwed it onto his M9 as well. He then picked up another one and attached it to his M4. After that he went and looked for any more pistol and rifle magazines. He found some empty magazines in a box and grabbed as many as he could and put them in his bag. "Hey my bag is filled with empty magazines, Did you find any ammo?" Raging Bullet asked as he walked over to SureShot. "I saw a full box over there." SureShot said as he pointed to a box in the corner of the room. Raging Bullet walked over to it and started to load boxes of ammo into his bag. SureShot was picking rifles an pistols and putting them into a black duffle bag he found. Raging Bullet threw some more boxes of ammo into the bag as well. "Are we ready to head out?" Raging Bullet asked "Lets do this." SureShot said as he cocked his gun and walked out to the main room. Moans could be heard from outside. "Well that flare must have died a while ago, but we have guns now. Remember head shots are the only way to put these things down." Raging Bullet said to SureShot as he kicked open the door. The heads of the infected looked at them in unison as they started to fire off shots at the infected. Clearing the area they started to trot to Sugarcube Corner. "The truck should be behind Sugarcube Corner if it is still there. We should just drive it out of Ponyville and stop at the car and one of us drives the truck and the other takes the car." Raging Bullet said as he fired another shot at an infected pony. "I think you should drive the truck, seeing that you drove it to Sugarcube Corner." SureShot said as they approached Sugarcube Corner. They made it to the street Sugarcube Corner was located and there were a few infected roaming the streets. They each raised their rifles and dropped them one by one. They made their way around the back of Sugarcube Corner and were relieved to see the truck still there. They both hopped in and Raging Bullet floored it to get out of Ponyville. As he turned the corner he was faced with a large crown of infected. As they all turned toward the truck, Raging Bullet put the truck in reverse and backed out to the other side of the alley, hitting a few infected along the way. Getting back on the road Raging Bullet put the truck in drive and floored it through a barricade. "Holy shit. That was really close, when we get back I think we should stay out of the town for a little while." Raging Bullet said as he pulled up to the abandoned checkpoint they searched earlier. "Yea lets get some stuff done on the farm. We still have a lot of work to do to fortify that place to make it safe." SureShot said as he made sure he had everything. They pulled up to their car that they hid and SureShot hopped out and got into the sedan after he loaded all the stuff they scavenged into the trunk. Then they drove off to Sweet Apple Acres. When they got there they could see Applejack already hard at work bucking apple trees. When she saw them pull up she walked over to the cars as they hopped out. "Did yall get what ya were lookin for?" Applejack asked as she looked at the big truck. "Yes we got the truck along with some more guns and ammo." Raging Bullet said as he helped unload the trunk of the sedan. "Okay why don'tcha take that stuff into the house. We can go through it later but for now, we got some applebuckin to do." Applejack said as she trotted back over to some appletrees. "I'll go take this stuff in. Go help Applejack and I'll be right back out." Raging Bullet said as he picked up the bags and put them into the house. He quickly trotted back over to Applejack to start a hard day of work.
First EncounterRaging Bullets house Everfree forest 9:00 AM "We have reports of the outbreak being worse in the cities. The source of the outbreak is still unknown but scientist are working hard to find a cure to this. Infected individuals show higher signs of hostility and should not be confronted." The news pony said on the television on Raging Bullets kitchen counter. "Please all this is crap. I am sure this will all blow over in a couple days or so." Raging Bullet said as he drank some coffee and put his suit on. He holstered his Colt 1911 in his concealed carry holster and walked out the door to his car. He started the engine of his car and headed of to work. Raging Bullet turned on the radio, only to hear an emergency broadcast from the Equestria Broadcast Channel . "...I will now read off a list of cities and their current catastrophe level. Canterlot level 9, Fillydelphia level 8, Las Pegasus level 8, Baltimare level 7..." Raging Bullet turned off his radio. "Wow. maybe this wont blow over soon." Raging said to himself as he looked at his phone. When he looked back up there was a pony walking in the road. "Oh shit!" Raging Bullet yelled as he turned hard left on the wheel. The car swerved off the road into a tree. Raging Bullet woke up to see the pony slowly trot to to his car and start banging on the glass, blood was hanging from his mouth and there was blood sticking to the glass where the pony started hitting it. His clothing was tattered and covered in blood. Raging Bullet unholstered his Colt 1911 and put two shots through the glass of his side window into the ponies skull. "Oh shit! I just shot somepony. Okay calm down Raging you did it in self defense." Raging Bullet told himself. Raging Bullet opened the door to the car to look at who he shot. When he looked at the body it was all decayed and hard to make out who it was. "I better find out where I am." Raging Bullet looked around and saw a sign that read "Ponyville- 2 Miles" and under the word were "Under Military Quarantine" in white paint. "Well that looks like my only option now." and Raging Bullet walked off Raging Bullet walked for the next two miles in complete silence while pondering what just happened in his mind. When he got to the outskirts of Ponyville there was an abandoned military checkpoint. "What the hell..." Raging Bullet said as he walked past the empty sandbags and rotting corpses. "Ugh. This is horrible." Raging Bullet said. A moaning sound came from one of the soldiers bodies on the ground. "Hello? Are you hurt?" Raging Bullet asked as he slowly approached the body. Raging Bullet slowly got down to the body, then it lunged at him. "Oh fuck!" Raging Bullet said as he quickly drew his 1911 and shot the stallion in the head. Raging Bullet checked the body for any type of weapon. All he found was a standard issue Beretta M9 and two magazines. He holstered the M9 in his Conceal carry holster and put his Colt 1911 in his suit pocket and continued walking toward the town. He was hoping he could find somepony to tell him what is going on but the town was empty. He walked to the town hall and saw a small military camp set up with dead soldiers all over the camp. "What the hell... This is worse than I thought." Raging Bullet said as he started to leave the area. He decided to try to find somepony, anypony who could tell him what was going on and what happened. As Raging Bullet walked past a bakery he heard "PSSST! OVER HERE, HURRY" in a loud whisper tone came from a colorful bakery. Raging Bullet quickly ran to the sound of the call and a Pink pony opened the door to let him in. "What the hell is going on here!" Raging Bullet yelled as he got inside. "Shhh. I will tell you what happened but keep your voice down or those things will hear you. By the way I am Pinkie Pie" Pinkie said. "Okay I am sorry but what happened here? It looks like a war went on." Raging Bullet whispered. "A war did go on." A stallion said as he appeared from the shadows. 'I am Captain SureShot I was in what is left of the military you saw out there." SureShot said. "I am very sorry to hear that" Raging Bullet said. "Dont worry about it, nothing could have been done, But when the bigger cities, Baltimare, Manehatten, Canterlot and so on fell to the outbreak so we started to quarantine smaller towns like this town you see here. Only 1 by 1 they all started to fall. eventually there were too many infected and not enough ponies to defend the town. soon everything went to shit and it just became every pony for themselves. I quickly ran to the nearest building and met Pinkie Pie here." SureShot said "you were lucky to make it out of that mess. I saw all the dead bodies." Raging Bullet said "I was, but its getting late. Lets all get some sleep. we need to work on a plan." SureShot said in a stern voice. "Plan? Plan for what?" Raging Bullet asked. "We need to get out of here. maybe somewhere near here that is easily defendable" SureShot said. Raging Bullet started to pace the room. "Okay lets say we find a place to defend ourselves, then what?" Raging Bullet asked. "We scavange supplies, find more ponies and just survive." SureShot said. "Captain we will need fuel for any vehicles we have. Any chance you know where to get some?" Raging Bullet asked. "Back at the town hall we had a refueling truck for our humvees. If it is quiet tomorrow like it was today we might be able to get some gas, refuel two cars and head to the Everfree." SureShot said. "That is a good plan. What types of weapons do you have in case things aren't as quiet as they were today?" Raging Bullet asked. "I have a military issue M4 with an Acog scope along with a Beretta M9." SureShot said. "I, uhh... took this off a dead soldier" Raging Bullet said unholstering the M9. "How many mags do you have?" SureShot asked. "I was only able to find two but I also have a Colt 1911 with only 5 rounds left." Raging Bullet said as he pulled out his 1911. "Okay we will work on a plan tomorrow but for now lets get some rest. I am going to go upstairs on the balcony and keep watch over things." SureShot said. "I can swap in with you after a little while, just wake me when you need some rest." Raging Bullet said as he walked over to a couch in Pinkies room and fell asleep.
The Escape from PonyvilleSugarcube Corner Ponyville 5:00 Am "Hey, get up you might want to see this." SureShot said while shaking Raging Bullets shoulder. Raging Bullet got up slowly and wiped the grogginess from his eyes. He got off the couch and walked over next to SureShot and took a look at what he was talking about. Off in the distance Raging Bullet saw what appeared to be a huge group of infected. "We are going to need to do this now." SureShot said as he surveyed the abandoned military base. "Ok well you look like you know what your doing with that rifle, if you can see the base from here I can sneak in and you give me cover while I grab the truck. I will drive it back here and then we can get as much fuel out of it as we can." Raging Bullet said as he went back inside to check his guns and ammo. "What about Pinkie Pie? Is she going to do anything?" SureShot said as he motioned toward the sleeping pony in her bed. "Unless she knows how to shoot I want her here, and I have a job for her as well." Raging Bullet said as he continued to check his guns. "Oh? and what would that be" SureShot said as he checked his own rifle. "We are going to need food, she seems like the right pony to put in charge of getting as much food packed as she can. When I get back then we will all fill as many gas cans as we can to refuel some cars." Raging Bullet said as he holstered his gun. "I want her awake to hear the plan." SureShot said as he walked over to Pinkie Pie. "Hey you need to get up. we have a plan and we need you to pack as much food as you can." SureShot said "Huh? What? Its 5 AM what do you need me to do?" Pinkie Pie asked still waking up "We need you to pack food, there is a large group of infected headed to the town and we need to start earlier than expected because of it. Raging Bullet is going to run into the camp and grab the fuel truck. You need to be ready to go with that food while Raging Bullet and I refill some gas cans and refuel some cars." SureShot explained to Pinkie Pie. "Um... Ok? I will pack what I can. OOOH maybe I can make us cupcakes!" Pinkie Pie shouted as she started to jump on her bed. "Shhh. Keep it down we need it to be quiet if I am going to go out there unnoticed." Raging Bullet said shushing Pinkie Pie. "Oops. sorry." Pinkie Pie said apologetically. "Its ok. Well start packing that food and i am going to head out, oh and Pinkie Pie, Take this." Raging Bullet said as he pulled out his Colt 1911 and handed it to Pinkie Pie. "I can teach you how to shoot later but keep it with you just in case something happens and neither of us are here." Raging Bullet said. "Ok I will head out now, this needs to be done. SureShot get out to that balcony and keep an eye on me." Raging Bullet motioned toward SureShot "Got it" SureShot said as he grabbed his rifle and headed to the balcony Raging Bullet walked over to the door and slowly opened it and slowly trotted out. When he got to the end of the street he got against the side of a wall when he heard moaning. "Fuck" Raging Bullet said as he reached for his gun. he realized that a shot from the gun could bring on more infected. "Shit I should have grabbed a knife or something." Raging Bullet said to himself. He finally pulled out his M9, turned the corned and hit the infected in the infected in the head. The mare fell down on the ground but slowly got back up. Raging Bullet hit her again and bashed her head in. Raging Bullet quickly left and made his way to the camp. "Okay so where is this truck." Raging Bullet said to himself. He ducked behind a sandbag wall when he heard moaning from the other side. He looked around for a weapon on a dead soldiers body and found a combat knife. Clutching onto the knife he quickly looked over the barricade and drove the knife into the infected soldiers helmet. "Oh you have got to be kidding me..." Raging Bullet said as the knife got stuck in the infected soldiers helmet. He turned and ran. He ran until he came into view of what looked like a giant fuel tank. When he got closer he realized it was the refueling truck. Raging Bullet quickly hopped in the truck and looked for a key. He eventually found it on the floor of the truck. He quickly turned on the engine and sped off back to Sugarcube Corner. "Okay now I just need to park this in a place where we can refuel some cars and not get noticed while doing it." Raging Bullet said as he started to ponder areas to do that. He eventually made it back to Sugarcube Corner and parked in the back. As he walked through the door he heard gunshots from upstairs. "Oh no..." Raging Bullet said as he sprinted upstairs to see what was going on. When he got halfway up the stairs he heard moaning in the hall. He quickly drew his M9 and continued up the stairs. When he made it to the top he saw a group of about 6 infected crowding the door to Pinkies room. Raging Bullet aimed at the infected and fired off a shot, killing one of the infected. He fired off two more shots killing the next two closest to him and killed them, blood splattered on the wall behind them as they fell to the ground. he fired off another shot and killed another one before he had to turn and run before they could get to him. Raging Bullet ran down the stairs into the kitchen and grabbed a knife and waited for the infected to walk through the doors. Not long after he grabbed the knife the first infected came through the door and Raging Bullet drove the knife into the infected ponies head. He tried to pull it out as the second infected came through the door and knocked Raging Bullet on his back. With the knife out of reach Raging Bullet struggled to fight off the infected when a gunshot went off and the head of the pony exploded. "You alright?" SureShot asked with his rifle still drawn. "You didn't get bit did you?" SureShot asked as he walked closer to Raging Bullet. "No I am fine. What about you and Pinkie? are you guys okay? What happened?" Raging Bullet said as he got up and steadied himself. "Pinkie Pie and I are fine, a couple of infected heard Pinkie drop a pan and started to bunch up at the door thats when the door gave way and the infected came in. We ran upstairs and locked the door and Pinkie Pie accidentally fired off a shot with the Colt that you gave her. And then I heard gunshots from outside the door and realized it must be you." SureShot explained "We need to go those shots will have brought more infected from throughout the town. Pinkie Pie! grab what ever you packed and lets go!" Raging Bullet yelled to Pinkie "I got them in some bags I'll go get them." Pinkie Pie yelled back "Okay lets start refueling the two cars in front of the store." Raging Bullet said as he grabbed a gas can from the truck. For the next 15 minutes they refueled the two cars in front of Sugarcube Corner while Pinkie loaded in the food in. "Okay are we ready to go? Raging Bullet asked Pinkie and SureShot "I am ready. Are you SureShot?" Pinkie Pie asked glancing over at SureShot "I am all set, but where will we go?" SureShot asked looking over at Raging Bullet "Pinkie Pie your the local here, do you know of any secluded areas that are close to Ponyville for supply runs?" Raging Bullet asked looking at Pinkie "Um... there is Sweet Apple Acres. Its an apple farm a couple miles from Ponyville and it grows apples we can eat." Pinkie Pie explained "Ok lets go there then." SureShot said hopping into the car. Raging Bullet got in the car with Pinkie Pie and she drove them to Sweet Apple Acres. When they got to the gate at Sweet Apple Acres it was barricaded by old furniture and there was nopony around. "Well looks like this is as far as our cars go." Raging Bullet said as he got out of the car and hopped over the barricade. "Wait! They may still be home. They wouldn't have put up a barricade for nothing." Pinkie Pie said worriedly "Who lives here this place looks abandoned." SureShot said surveying the area. "The Apple family. They own this farm." Pinkie Pie explained "Well lets take a look around and maybe we can find them." Raging Bullet said as he started to walk to the farm house. As Raging Bullet walked up to the house he knocked on the door. Nopony answered so he walked in. The inside of the the house there was furniture strewn everywhere. There was some blood on the wall and bullet holes everywhere. "Geez, maybe this wont be as good of a camp as we thought." Raging Bullet said to himself He walked around outside and called over Pinkie Pie and SureShot to tell them what he found. "Well the house is a mess, and there are bullet holes everywhere. SureShot did you find anything? Raging Bullet asked SureShot "I surveyed the area and found nothing. I noticed a cellar door over there." SureShot said as he motioned toward the door on the side of the house. "Maybe they have some stuff we can use down there, tools or something to reinforce the fences." SureShot said as he looked at the front gate. "Yea I'll head down there to make sure its clear." Raging Bullet said as he walked over to the cellar door. He slowly opened the door and unholstered his gun. He finally made it to the bottom and saw somepony, he drew his gun... "What the Hell..." Raging Bullet said in disbelief. "Who the hay are you!"
New MembersSweet Apple Acres Outskirts of Ponyville 4:00 PM The lighting in the cellar was very dim and it took Raging Bullet a second to get his eyes to adjust. "Drop the gun." Said a deep voice as a shotgun was heard being cocked. "Who are you and why are you here?" the voice said again. Raging Bullet unloaded his gun and put it on the ground. "My name is Raging Bullet, we came up here because we were looking for a place to set up a camp to survive." Raging Bullet explained. "My friend SureShot and Pinkie Pie are up there. Coming here was Pinkie Pies idea." Raging Bullet explained as he turned around to see a red coated stallion pointing a shotgun at his head. "You know Pinkie Pie?" said an orange mare. "She is mah friend, how did yah meet her?" asked the mare. "Well my car had crashed two miles out from Ponyville and as I wandered the streets she got my attention and called me inside her bakery. There I met SureShot, a Captain of the military that was stationed there." Raging Bullet explained, he turned around to the red stallion "Could you please put that down, I don't like having guns pointed at my head." Raging Bullet said as the red stallion lowered the shotgun. "Sorry, By the way I am Big Mac, These are my sisters Applejack and Applebloom, And that is Granny Smith." Big Mac said. Raging Bullet looked around and his eyes adjusted more to the dim light and he made out the three mares in front of him. "Nice to meet you all. Do you mind if I reholster my gun?" Raging Bullet asked turning to Big Mac. "Yea sorry bout the shotgun, you could have been an invader for all we knew. It wouldn't be the first time..." Big Mac said trailing off. "Well I want to make a proposal. We have gas, guns and people. I think we should pool start a camp up here. Me and SureShot know how to shoot so we could provide some defences." Raging Bullet explained "Well ah dont know. Granny what do you think?" Applejack said looking at Granny Smith "Ah dont know. What else could you do for us?" Granny Smith asked "Well what else do you need done?" Raging Bullet asked "We could use some more workers in the field, and we also need to reinforce our fences." Granny Smith said pondering if anything else needed to be done. "Done, We can help you guys out with whatever you need done." Raging Bullet said. "Then its a deal. Lets go up there and start preparing for the work ahead of us." Applejack said and they all started to leave the cellar. When the Apple family got out of the cellar Pinkie Pie jumped on top of Applejack and hugged her as tight as she could. "OH I MISSED YOU GUYS SO MUCH" She said as she squeezed Applejack tighter. "Uh.. We missed you too Pinkie." Applejack said returning the hug. For the next hour the group started to remove the barricade of furniture to let the cars get onto the property. Then Big Mac took SureShot and Raging Bullet over to a shed to get some supplies to start reinforcing the fence. "This may take a while, maybe late into the night so we are going to need somepony to keep watch on us while we work." Big Mac said. "We should be fine for now but lets get as much done as we can before it starts getting late." "Well lets get going then." SureShot said. Big Mac, Raging Bullet and SureShot started to work on the fence while Granny Smith, Pinkie Pie, Applejack and Applebloom went inside and started to clean up the house. As the day started to turn to night the reinforcement of the front gate fences were just finishing up before Big Mac decided to call it a night. "I think we have done all we can for today. Lets head inside and see how the house..." Big Mac trailed off as he saw an infected pony in the distance. "What is it?" Raging Bullet asked as he looked in the same direction as Big Mac, just barely seeing the infected pony. "SureShot could you make the shot from here?" Raging Bullet asked "Easily." SureShot said as he grabbed his rifle and lined up his shot. The gunshot echoed through the hills and the pony fell to the ground. "What the hay was that!" Applejack yelled as she ran out of the house "SureShot took down one of the infected." Raging Bullet explained "What if somepony else heard that gunshot, what if a large group of those things heard that? Then what?" Applejack said as she glared at SureShot "Calm down sis, no pony heard that and with Raging Bullet and SureShot here he dont need to worry about anypony sneaking onto the farm at night." Big Mac said trying to calm down Applejack. "Look its getting late I think we should all turn in for the night. You guys coming?" "Yea one second. I need to discuss some things with SureShot." Raging Bullet said as he started to walk to SureShot "What do you need to discuss?" SureShot asked "Our shifts on watch. I think I should take first shift, you need the rest since you didn't wake me up to take over last night." Raging Bullet said as he rested against a fence. "I am going to need your rifle though, to keep an eye on things." "Of course. do you know how to use this type of weapon?" SureShot asked, handing over the rifle to Raging Bullet "I've had some training" Raging Bullet said as he slung the rifle on his back "Okay lets head in." SureShot said as he started to walk back to the house. on the way back to the house Raging Bullet and SureShot discussed the shifts they would be in for the night. When they made it to the house they were surprised to see all of the furniture put back in place and the blood cleaned off the walls. The bullet holes were still there but there was nothing that could have been done about those today. "Wow they really did a good job fixing up the place." SureShot said as he looked at all the furniture. "I am going to head over to the barn, i can get a good view of the land from up there." Raging Bullet said as he trotted off to the barn. SureShot lied down on the couch and just started to think about everything that happened and the close call he had back at Sugarcube Corner. Eventually he found a comfortable position and fell asleep. Raging Bullet on the other hoof was sitting in the loft of the barn with the rifle leaning against the wall. He looked out toward the main gate then over to the fence he stayed on watch for the next couple of hours. When his watch read 2:00 AM he picked up the rifle and started to make his way back to the house. When he was about halfway back he heard a moaning sound coming from the rows of trees. Raging Bullet took out his flashlight and shone it on the trees. He looked around for the next five minutes. Finding nothing he turned his light off and headed back to the house. When he walked inside he made sure not to wake anypony up that was sleeping. he made his way to the couch where SureShot was sleeping and quietly woke him up. "Hey its your shift now, oh and watch out I heard moaning coming from one of the orchards but i couldnt find the source so be careful out there." Raging Bullet explained as SureShot got up and suited up. "I will be sure to keep a look out in the orchard." SureShot said as he finally was ready to head out. Raging Bullet lied down on the couch and quickly fell into a deep sleep...
Scavenging Scavenging Sweet Apple Acres Outskirts of Ponyville 5:00 AM Raging Bullet woke up to SureShot shaking his shoulder. "Get up we have allot to do today." SureShot said. "What? What time is it?" Raging Bullet asked as he looked over at the grandfather clock against the wall. He then got out off of the couch and walked over to the door where SureShot was waiting. "Come on. We need to go scavenging, we need more fuel for our cars, and some more rifles and ammo never hurt either." SureShot said as he lead Raging Bullet out of the house. "Let me just go run to Big Mac and tell him we're going on a run." SureShot said as he ran over to Big Mac, Who was loading hay into a barn. "Hey Big mac, Raging Bullet and I are going on a run to Ponyville for some more fuel and if possible some more guns and ammo." SureShot told Big Mac "Dont take too long, we have allot of work to do on the farm today." Big Mac told SureShot "We should only be gone for about an hour or so." SureShot said to Big Mac With that Raging Bullet and SureShot hopped into the silver sedan and drove to Ponyville. they drove until they were about a half mile from the town and parked their car behind some trees to hide it. "We walk from here. A car would make too much noise. Do you think the fuel truck is still where we left it?" SureShot asked Raging Bullet as they started to walk toward the town. "If its not we can always siphon some cars, and what about the guns? You were stationed at Ponyville you must know where the armory is right?" Raging Bullet asked "We had the armory set up at the town hall, but I don't know how overrun it is." SureShot said as they got closer to Ponyville. "Did you guys have any suppressors at that armory?" Raging Bullet asked "We did." SureShot answered. "Then I think we should go for the guns first, it will make getting to that truck allot more easier if we can kill the infected with not allot of noise." Raging Bullet said as they made it to an abandoned military checkpoint leading into Ponyville. "Damn, Did you know any of these soldiers?" Raging Bullet asked. "No, but lets check them for any ammo." SureShot said as he trotted over to a rotting corpse. In total there were 6 bodies there, and all they got was some more another M4 Carbine with iron sights, 2 combat knives and a couple of assorted magazines for pistols and rifles. SureShot saw a flare sticking out of a soldiers pocket and he took it and put it in his bag. "Here take this." SureShot said as he handed Raging Bullet the rifle. "Use it only when you need to, we dont have too much ammo to waste as it is. Raging Bullet took the rifle and slung it on his back. They loaded the rest of the ammo they found into their saddle bags and continued to Ponyville. They finally made it to the streets of Ponyville but they were filled with hundreds of infected. "Oh Shit. Get down." SureShot said as they ducked behind some garbage cans. SureShot peeked over the top of the cans to see just how many were there. "Damn, must have been the herd we saw the day we left." SureShot said "Well we might be able to get around it in the alleys. We cant take them all on, we don't have nearly enough ammo." Raging Bullet said. "Lets go through the alleys, it will be safer and most likely have less infected. "Your right, lets go." SureShot said and then they made their way to the alleys behind the houses. They walked in silence as they made their way to the town hall. "How many infected do you think will be there?" SureShot asked looking over at Raging Bullet "Your guess is as good as mine, But from what what I saw when I was there last time it might be more. Raging Bullet said as they continued to walk behind the houses. They eventually made it to the town hall and got behind some trashcans to avoid being spotted by the infected. They silently made their way to a sandbag wall and got down low. Raging Bullet peeked over the wall to see how many of the infected there were. He saw a mix of soldiers and civilians and got back down before he was noticed. "There are about 15 of them just in the open over there, were is the armory located again?" Raging Bullet asked looking over at SureShot. "The armory is inside the town hall..." "Which just happens to be guarded by about 15-20 infected" Raging Bullet added. "Right, we have our combat knives from the soldiers at that one checkpoint. I say we just make a run for the town hall and take down any infected that get in our way." SureShot said as he peeked over the sandbags. "One problem though. These knives cant go through the helmets of the soldiers, and I see more soldier infected than civilian infected. Do you have anything that might draw their attention?" Raging Bullet asked as he went through his bag. "I managed to pickup a flare off of one of the infected we saw at the checkpoint." SureShot said as he pulled the flare from his bag. "Okay, lets hope that these things are drawn by sight and sound." Raging Bullet said SureShot pulled the cap off of the flare and threw it off to the side. As the flare flew threw the air the heads of the infected turned and started to follow it. "Now's our chance." SureShot said as he and Raging Bullet got up and sprinted to the door and got inside. The room was dimly lit because the windows were boarded up. SureShot pulled out a flashlight, turned it on and looked around. In the center of the room there were maps and charts of Ponyville with markings of where certain military setups were. As they walked around and looked for anything useful. "Is there even anything we can use here?" Raging Bullet asked as he looked through some papers on a table. "I was hoping we might be able to find a radio to contact the command center with but I don't see anything here. SureShot said as he waved his flashlight around. "Lets just get to the armory. We have already been here a half hour and we said we were only going to be an hour so we better get a move on." Raging Bullet said as he walked over to SureShot "Alright, Armory is this way." SureShot said as he made his way to the back of the room. Raging Bullet followed SureShot as he went behind the stage and saw a makeshift armory set up behind the curtain. "Damn, most of it is gone, but lets look around for ammo and possibly more guns." SureShot said as he made his way over to a weapon rack. "Where would the suppressors be?" Raging Bullet asked as he walked over to an empty ammo tin. "Your just going to have to look around." SureShot said as he examined a high powered rifle. "Alright." Raging Bullet said as he started to go through some boxes. As he was looking through a bow he saw a box filled with all sorts of metal tubes. "Hey are these suppressors?" He asked as he motioned for SureShot to come over. "Yea, they should just screw on to the end of your gun." SureShot said as he picked one up and attached it to his M9. Raging Bullet picked up one of the suppressors and screwed it onto his M9 as well. He then picked up another one and attached it to his M4. After that he went and looked for any more pistol and rifle magazines. He found some empty magazines in a box and grabbed as many as he could and put them in his bag. "Hey my bag is filled with empty magazines, Did you find any ammo?" Raging Bullet asked as he walked over to SureShot. "I saw a full box over there." SureShot said as he pointed to a box in the corner of the room. Raging Bullet walked over to it and started to load boxes of ammo into his bag. SureShot was picking rifles an pistols and putting them into a black duffle bag he found. Raging Bullet threw some more boxes of ammo into the bag as well. "Are we ready to head out?" Raging Bullet asked "Lets do this." SureShot said as he cocked his gun and walked out to the main room. Moans could be heard from outside. "Well that flare must have died a while ago, but we have guns now. Remember head shots are the only way to put these things down." Raging Bullet said to SureShot as he kicked open the door. The heads of the infected looked at them in unison as they started to fire off shots at the infected. Clearing the area they started to trot to Sugarcube Corner. "The truck should be behind Sugarcube Corner if it is still there. We should just drive it out of Ponyville and stop at the car and one of us drives the truck and the other takes the car." Raging Bullet said as he fired another shot at an infected pony. "I think you should drive the truck, seeing that you drove it to Sugarcube Corner." SureShot said as they approached Sugarcube Corner. They made it to the street Sugarcube Corner was located and there were a few infected roaming the streets. They each raised their rifles and dropped them one by one. They made their way around the back of Sugarcube Corner and were relieved to see the truck still there. They both hopped in and Raging Bullet floored it to get out of Ponyville. As he turned the corner he was faced with a large crown of infected. As they all turned toward the truck, Raging Bullet put the truck in reverse and backed out to the other side of the alley, hitting a few infected along the way. Getting back on the road Raging Bullet put the truck in drive and floored it through a barricade. "Holy shit. That was really close, when we get back I think we should stay out of the town for a little while." Raging Bullet said as he pulled up to the abandoned checkpoint they searched earlier. "Yea lets get some stuff done on the farm. We still have a lot of work to do to fortify that place to make it safe." SureShot said as he made sure he had everything. They pulled up to their car that they hid and SureShot hopped out and got into the sedan after he loaded all the stuff they scavenged into the trunk. Then they drove off to Sweet Apple Acres. When they got there they could see Applejack already hard at work bucking apple trees. When she saw them pull up she walked over to the cars as they hopped out. "Did yall get what ya were lookin for?" Applejack asked as she looked at the big truck. "Yes we got the truck along with some more guns and ammo." Raging Bullet said as he helped unload the trunk of the sedan. "Okay why don'tcha take that stuff into the house. We can go through it later but for now, we got some applebuckin to do." Applejack said as she trotted back over to some appletrees. "I'll go take this stuff in. Go help Applejack and I'll be right back out." Raging Bullet said as he picked up the bags and put them into the house. He quickly trotted back over to Applejack to start a hard day of work.
