I was getting closer to the place the guard said he saw Kyle last. Is he really alive, after all this time? Don't get your hopes up, Twilight. You never know what could happen next. I was near the radio station where I saw over 5 people with rifles holding... oh my God. I was about to sprint out when I realized that I only had my katana and they were 5 people with rifles. I saw Rainbow and... Kyle run up! Kyle had more scraggy hair and a silver arm, but he was still the same. Kyle snuck up behind a girl with white hair before being whacked in the back of the head. I took the microphone and tried to listen.

"...Our people would love to watch you burn!" The woman with white hair said.

I watched as Sunset, Rainbow, and some blond girl I've never seen were pinned to the ground and started to get their shirts unbuttoned. I held my katana planning my strikes.

"First, we'll get Rin, then we'll get the others..." She got disturbingly close to his ear. "...Then you." I heard silently.

I was about to lunge when Kyle head-butted her and he had a gun drew on him! I saw a red-headed girl walk up. What Kyle did next still haunts me. A blade came out of his hand and he shoved it in the white-haired girl's throat. I looked in shock as he shot the 5 other men. One drew a gun on him, but the red-head shot him. I stammered to the microphone and listened.

"Your people did this. They destroyed a city full of innocents, killed Scootaloo, and now tried to rape and kill us. You showed us who you are." He said.

"I didn't do this." Meiko said.

"Go. Go back to the Kingdom and make sure we don't see you again." He said.

He must've noticed the girl was alive because he stabbed her in the head. As he did it, the red-head ran as fast as she could-- towards me. I tackled her to the ground.

"Who are you? Who was that girl out there? SPEAK, GODDAMNIT!" I said holding my katana to her neck.

"I'm Meiko. That girl was Yowane." Meiko said calmly.

"I'm Twilight." I said as I put away my sword.

"Look, if you think I'm responsible for-"

"Come with me. I plan to catch up with him later." I said.

I smelled smoke and I turned back. I saw Kyle drag Yowane and push her into the fire.

"I'll see you soon, Kyle..." I said.

Sunset was getting the fuel while I was catching up with Rin about her family.

"She'd come in after a while, and..." Rin started.

"It's okay. You don't have to say anymore. I'm sorry..." I said.

"It's okay. I'm gonna get this stupid dress off." Rin said walking upstairs.

Rainbow came and sat next to me.

"You two are getting along." Rainbow said.

"Well, I DID save her life..." I said.

"Haha." Rainbow said.

"...Did you know Yowane before Sanctuary?" I asked.

"Yeah. She was a nobody there. She turned into a monster... After what she planned to do to you... Yowane died a long time ago." Rainbow said getting up.

I was looking at a picture me and Scootaloo took during our dating time. I still remember those days...

"Kyle! Come here, please." Riku called out.

I came down to her room when she told me about Scootaloo.

"She's been gone a while, and I have no idea what to do." Riku said.

"Where's Daisuke?" I asked.

"Right here." Daisuke said panting for breath as he ran for the door.

"Hey." I said.

"I tried to talk to her, but she wouldn't listen. Maybe... you could get through to her?" Daisuke asked.

"Where is she?" I asked.

"Up on the rooftop." Daisuke said.

"I'll see what I can do." I said.

I ran up and saw her on a chair looking down on the city.

"You thinking on jumping?" I asked.

"...No." Scootaloo said.

I took a seat next to her.

"People are worried about you." I said.

Scootaloo scoffed.

"Who?" She asked.

"Your father, your mother, Fluttershy, Sunset, ME. I miss you." I said.

Scootaloo stayed silent for several seconds until she leaped on me and held me in an embrace.

"Hey... It's okay." I said.

I heard Scootaloo sob-- and I mean SOB. She held me tighter as she sobbed. I soon felt some tears swell out of me. I started holding tighter until I felt... something on my cheek.

Did she just kiss me?

"I... I--"

"You don't have to say anything yet. Just think on it." Scootaloo said as she walked back downstairs.

"--Kyle? Kyle! We're ready to go!" Rainbow said.

"Sorry, sorry. It was just some memories." I said.

"We'll talk in the car." Rainbow said.

We hopped in and drove down the highway to Our Town. Sunset drove while following the map.

"Were you thinking about Scootaloo?" Rainbow asked.

"...Yeah." I said.

"I don't know what happened. But please understand that I am sorry." Rainbow said.

We pulled up to the road of Our Town.

"We go on foot from here." I said.

"Why?" Sunset asked.

"We should see them, before they see us." I said.

"Okay." Rainbow said.

We split up into groups. Me, Rin, and Rainbow while Johnny, Susan, Sissy, and Sunset went together. I looked ahead and saw fences-- big ones.

"This is it." I said.

We saw as people came out and were slaughtering zombies with silenced gunfire.

"They must have a lot of ammo." Rin said.

"So did you." I said.

"...Yeah, we did." Rin replied.

We kept looking and saw several more people came out- all wearing an equal sign on their right arm.

"That looks unpromising." Rainbow said.

"Maybe it's a cult or something." I said.

"Whatever it is, it doesn't make them bad people, Kyle." Rin said.

"It doesn't, but it adds some questions to the table." I said.

We looked a few more minutes until Rin asked me

"What's up with that Joel guy and you?"

I stayed silent for a few seconds.

"He beat me. Everyone of them. Student and teacher. Except for..." I started.

"Except for who?" Rainbow asked.

"Except for Twilight." I whispered.

I could tell Rainbow was shocked.

"When I was a freshman, she talked to me. Eventually, we got along. But then me and my mom went to see some family in the country. When we got back..." I said.

"Kyle..."

"...And that was the perfect opportunity for them to start beating the SHIT out of me anytime they wanted. And then..." I said.

"Kyle. Twilight joined CHS." Rainbow said.

Me and Meiko went back to the cabin with Sonata.

"She tried to do WHAT?!" Sonata asked Meiko holding against a wall.

"She tried to rape him, but he stopped it." Meiko said.

"How?" Sonata asked.

"He stabbed her throat. Then he burned her corpse." I said.

Sonata was clearly shocked by this and she let Meiko go.

"Where did he say he was going?" Sonata asked.

"I didn't hear much, but I heard on guy say Our Town."

"Oh, crap. That's where that guy..." Sonata started.

"Twi..."

"You got it." I told Sonata.

I took the rifle that guy had and I found some fireworks in a bag.

"I got this." I said.

We regrouped, walked through the gates and went inside a building.

"Our Town. Our world..." A girl on a radio turned around and saw us.

"Hello." I said.

Another girl walked up.

"You here to rob us?"

"No. We heard about this place and we wanted to join you. I'm Kyle." I said.

The girl walked up and held her hand out.

"I'm Starlight Glimmer. Welcome to Our Town."

We went to one of the houses they said were ours.

"You think this'll work?" Rin asked.

"It has to." Sunset said.

Then, a megaphone went off.

"Attention all new survivors. Please join us in the Town Hall."

"Well, that's us." I said.

We went down to se what it was. We went in and the first thing I saw was a gun to my face.

"Drop your weapons, and we all go away alive." Starlight said.

We dropped our weapons.

"The machete too. Do it!" Starlight said shoving the gun in my face.

Sorry, Scoots.

I dropped the machete and tossed it on the ground.

"See that house down there? Get in, all of you. Now!" Starlight said.

I went first, then Rainbow, Rin, Johnny, Susan, Sissy, then Sunset. We walked in and the door slammed behind us. It was dark, but I saw 5 other people inside.

"You must be our roommates." A man joked.

"You come near them, and I kill you, with or without weapons." I said.

"I didn't mean it like that. I'm Cole. This is my girl, Alice. This is Frosty and Kat." Cole said.

"Well, they're gonna regret locking us in here." I said.

"How?" Alice asked.

I pulled out my knife arm and showed it to them.

"Oh..." Frosty said.
