Hordes are Magic

Previous Chapter"What was that?" Fluttershy asked.
"I don't really know." Curtis answered, looking in the direction the moan came from. There was a slight blue fog approaching them, and another moan. A figure emerged from the fog slowly. It appeared to have an injured leg, as it was limping. As it got closer, the group noticed that there was skin peeling from its face, showing muscle and bone. One arm was ripped off, as if attacked by a wild animal. Nearly everyones face went white as they realized what it was. Nathan was the only one who moved, grabbing everybody and warping them to the school. What Nathan didn't realize, however, is that the creature came from the school.
When they appeared, Curtis gasped. "A zombie... It was a zombie."
Tye started laughing, and everyone looked at him.
"Are you crazy?!" Twilight asked.
"Nope. Perfectly fine." he said, a dark matter sword appearing in each hand. "Always wanted a zombie apocalypse."
There was a loud moan from inside the school. A few zombies came out and charged the group.
"Let's go kill some z's." Curtis said, following Tye's example, except with kunai.
"Acid kunai?" Nathan asked. "Nice." He reached into his jacket and pulled out a four foot long katana.
"Where the hell did that come from?!" Zane yelled.
"Uhh, hammerspace, I think." he said, then charged a zombie, slashing it in two. "Come on!" he yelled, his sword glowing a bright white. As he slashed into another zombie, the lightning discharged, reducing the zombie to a pile of ash.
"Oh, that smells horrid!" Rarity exclaimed, white with fear.
"Well, whaddya expect? It's burned flesh." Nathan stated.
"Hey, Nathan?" Rainbow Dash called. "You got another sword?"
He threw one to her and she flew into the air.
"There're about a hundred more, and they keep coming from inside. I'm gonna go scope it out." She took off.
Curtis changed his Kunai into long swords, and decapitated two oncoming zombies.
"How you holding up, Twilight?" he yelled.
"Just fine." She answered, killing a zombie with a short sword.
"Where'd the sword come from?"
"Nathan."
Curtis sighed, and killed a zombie coming up behind him.
Rainbow Dash came back, killing a zombie when she landed. "There's a giant zombie in the middle of the school. There're zombies coming from underneath it."
"Ugh, a spawner?" Curtis asked.
Rainbow Dash nodded.
Suddenly, something moving faster than the zombies caught his eye. A boy a little shorter than Nathan walked up to the school and stopped, his back against the wall. All of a sudden, the building went up in flames, taking the boy with it. From inside the school, an eerie screech filled the air, but was abruptly cut short. When the flames died down, Curtis realized who it was.
"What the hell was that?!" Nathan yelled.
"Andrew just killed himself to kill the giant zombie. Either that, or he just wanted to take out the school."
"My brother? Probably the school. Ah, well. The explosion took care of most of the zombies." he watched Twilight and Rainbow kill a zombie. "They just killed the last one."
"Well, that takes ceare of that...Now we just need somewhere to go."
"What is this?" Tye said, enraged. "A family picnic? We don't need somewhere to go. We need provisions and armaments."
"He's right." Nathan agreed. "My hammerspace won't produce food."
"Well, we could always go to the armory." Curtis stated.
"For weapons, yes."
"But not for fooood!" Zane whined.
"Well, we can raid Wal-Mart then."
"That's good too."
Curtis noticed that the girls were silent.
"Something wrong?"
"Oh, no." Fluttershy said quietly.
"We just have no idea what you're talking about." Twilight finished.
"We're not from around here, remember?" Rarity stated.
"Oh, yeah." Curtis said.
"What is Wal-Mart exactly?"
"You'll see when we raid it." Tye sighed.
"I'm going in first!" Rainbow yelled.
"Okay, Skittles." Nathan said.
"Who?"
"You."
The rest of the guys laughed, catching up on what he said. Rainbow scowled, then flew off.
"Rain!" Austin yelled after her. "Oh. I never wished so much that I had wings." Suddenly, the back of his shirt bulged out.
"Ow! A litte... Ow. Help?" he winced in pain. Curtis pulled a small knife and cut into one side of Austin's shirt. From the one foot gash, a blue wing appeared. Needless to say, everyone was shocked. Curtis wasn't paying attention, as he was cutting into the other side. When the wing came out, it smacked him in the face, making him stumble backwards and fall.
"What the-" he said, looking up at Austin. "Lucky."
"I'm gonna go after RD, 'Kay?" Austin stated.
"Well, go get her." The guys said. Austin nodded and turned around. He started to jog, then broke into a run, and finally jumped, flapping his wings. He got up about five feet and fell back to earth. He went back to his starting point and tried again. After three failed attempts, Fluttershy gave him some advice, and he was able to take off, after a bit of difficulty.
About seven minutes after he left, while the other eight were heading to the armory, the same thing happened to Nathan and Curtis.
"Lucky." Twilight said to Curtis, who smiled.
"Now you're like me, Curtis." Luna stated. The boys looked at her quizzically. "You can use magic and fly, just like me." She spread her own wings, and Tye started drooling. Curtis elbowed him, and he fell to the ground, shirt bulging. Curtis quickly sliced his shirt, revealing two bright green wings.
"Ow. I think you may have cut one." Tye said. Curtis looked at them. Sure enough, the left one was bleeding a little bit.
"Oops. My bad." Curtis said apologetically.
"Let's keep going." Nathan stated.
"Right!"
A/N
Allright, there it is. Chapter 4. If you don't agree with the wings, I'm sorry, but I can't change it, as I have eight more chapters already written out.
Hopefully you like it.
