Equestria Effect: Apocalypse

1 Hour Ago, Ponyville, Equestria

Twilight Sparkle could only watch in horror as the gargantuan bipedal... thing approached.  It seemed to be a massive mound of muscle, flesh, and cybernetics, with a terrifying skull of some kind of alien acting as its head, supported by an uncharacteristically skinny... Oh, God, it was a bare spine!  It was smashing down doors and barricades with ease, and nothing could stop it.  It was gradually inching closer and closer to the library, and Twilight was very unsure that the bookshelf she had blocked the door with would hold.  Every time it reached a house, it smashed down the door, and one of the sacs on the giant, bulbous insects burst, and a swarm of some kind of larva poured into the house, traumatizing screams coming from every pony taken.

She watched in horror as first Sugarcube Corner was broken into, then Lyra's house, and finally they swarmed the market, taking the oblivious ponies by surprise.  The bipedal hulk was rapidly approach the Library.

"Oh, what are we to do!" said Rarity.  She, Twilight, Rainbow Dash, and Pinkie Pie were all hiding inside the hollowed out tree.  Applejack was harvesting Zap Apples when the monsters arrived, and Fluttershy was captured when she tried to befriend them.

"AGH! I don't know! We are going to die!  I haven't even joined the Wonderbolts yet!" Cried Rainbow.

"Just, don't worry!  The princesses will be here any minute!  They can fix this!  I hope..."  Encouraged Twilight, when suddenly,  BOOM!  BOOM!  And the bookshelf holding back the monsters was toppled, the strange larva skittering over it.

"Oh, they look so filthy!  Just... Hideous!"  Rarity whined, as she retreated up the stairs.

"ALRIGHT YOU PARTY POOPERS, TAKE THIS!" Cried Pinkie, as she pulled out the party cannon, and fired it.  The normally friendly, welcoming, fun party supplies each gained deadly attributes.  The confetti shot out, like razor blades, flying towards the swarm of larvae.  The pin-the-tail-on-the-pony sets each had sharp pins on the tails, arching across the room like bullets.

"YEAH! TAKE THAT! Yeah! Yeah.... Uh-oh."  Pinkie said, as she noticed that the cannon had done nothing but add festivity to the soon to come massacre.  Then, the swarm washed over her, cocooning around her, and carrying her outside.

"Pinkie! No!"  Twilight cried, and the horde turned around.

The Apple Family had founded Ponyville; they weren't going to let these scoundrels take it away from them.  Mounds of dead Husks, Marauders, and even a Brute were stacked outside the Farmhouse, like a warning to the rest of the creatures.

"Whew!  That thing sure was tough, right Big Mac?"  Applejack inquired, tiredly.

"Eeyup."  Big Mac said, splattered in the blood of the monsters he had killed.  But they were running out of weapons.  The last of their homemade Combustible Lemons were gone, and all they had was some pitchforks, a shovel, and some barrels.

"I wonder how the rest of the girls are doing..."  Contemplated Applejack.

"Rarity!  You have to!  This is our best chance to remain undetected!"  Ordered Twilight.

"I refuse to roll in this mess like... a dog!  It shall simply ruin my mane and coat!"  Complained Rarity.

"Really! This is a matter of life and death, Rarity!  You have to!"  Twilight argued.  Solemnly, Rarity steeled her will and stepped into the spread of blood and gore that had been left behind when Twilight dropped a bookshelf on a crowd of the beasts.  She knelt down, and rolled.

"AGH!  THIS IS DISGUSTING!!!"  Rarity burst, attracting the attention of the remaining horde.

"Rarity!  Agh!  Quiet!  You'll attract-" Twilight was interrupted by a large Caterpillar-like creature with wings smashing through the roof of the Library.  It shot a pod down into the floor, and flew away.

"Well, that was harmless.  So lame. Hehe."  Said Rainbow, nervously.  Then they swarmed out of the pod like a flood.  Dozens of Larva skittered forward and engulfed Rarity.

"MMPH!  MMPH! MM-"  Rarity's screams were cut short when the larva sprouted wings and took to the air.

Applejack was rushing into town along with Big Mac and the "CUTIE MARK CRUSADER MONSTER SLAYERS YAYs!"  All she had was a pair of pitchforks strapped to her saddlebags, and Big Mac had a large barrel of molten molasses mounted to his back, with a hose in his mouth connected to it.  The CMCMSY!s were just cowardly hiding behind them, the poor fillies.  Applejack had finally left the Farmhouse after the monsters had broken through and Granny Smith had to sacrifice herself to let them escape.  They were charging towards the Library, passing by hordes and hordes of monsters on the way.

Twilight Sparkle was desperate.  For all she knew; only she and Rainbow Dash were alive.  Rainbow was carrying her over the Everfree Forest, towards Canterlot.  They needed to reach the Princesses; make sure they were safe.

Garrus Vakarian was tired, pissed, wounded, and worst of all, hungry.  Between him and Tali, they were running very low on dextro-amino acid supplies.  He was just as likely to starve to death as kill a Reaper with his bare claws.  They were about a mile away from the strange city he had spotted earlier.  Worst yet, they had encountered Reaper forces here.  But something was... off about them.  They seemed... uncoordinated.  Lost.  Confused.  But still just as deadly.  They had encountered a new kind of Reaper, as well, which meant that some kind of new alien race was present here.  And that is when they spotted it.

Javik was just regaining consciousness; that is when he thought he was dead, because he recognized the symbol in the sky; the Sonic Rainboom.
