The Zombie War (Original)
Greenwood
Previous ChapterNext ChapterAfter we slept, we woke up to go to Twilight's camp.
"What do we do if this doesn't work out?" Rainbow asked.
"Easy. We go to Greenwood." I said.
"What if this place is Greenwood?" Johnny asked.
"We stay. If we think it won't work, we'll MAKE it work." I said.
Rainbow then went up to Cole.
"So, this camp..."
"Yeah?" Cole asked.
"Has anyone died there?" I asked.
"No. Not in a long time." Alice said.
"How?" I asked.
"Well, we barely ever go out, the crops give us the food we needed, and we have a good, strong leader." Frosty said.
"Who is your leader?" Sunset asked.
"You'll see when you get there." Twilight said.
We stayed silent until we found the RV they took, surrounded by zombies.
"Crap... now what?" Twilight asked.
"We can ask camp to come send transport." Cole said.
"No, you KNOW what she'll say to that. She hates people dying, but we can find a way." Kat said.
"How about one of the cars from Our Town? It has to have at least one laying around." Susan said.
"No, that's too risky. I guess we have to walk back. We're just three miles away. We'll make it in time for breakfast." Cole joked.
I nodded and we started walking towards their camp. We saw a crossing when Rainbow came up to me.
"You okay?" She asked.
"Yeah." I simply said.
"It's been a week since Sanctuary went down. And a day since Yowane."
"I know." I said.
Twilight walked up to the side of me.
"She's with us, you know. Meiko." She said.
I was silent as a few zombies were gathering up behind us. Sunset turned back and saw them build up.
"We can take them." She said.
"No. We just fought like hell to get out of Our Town. No need to fight like hell against a few Walkers." I said.
"...I can take them." Sunset said.
"Sunset... you know that's a bad idea." I told her.
We kept walking past an abandoned house full of blood and nearly burnt to the ground. I saw a skeleton with the eyes still inside. I turned away and saw the zombies behind us. It had about 20 zombies in it now.
"We can't have that building up. If we bring that back to camp..." Cole started saying.
"They walk, we run. We can get ahead of them. Besides, it's just twenty." Rainbow said.
"You always this pragmatic?" Frosty asked.
"Pretty much." I said.
We kept moving until we saw a sign saying
GREENWOOD FARM: 1 MILE
"We're close..." Cole said.
As soon as Cole said that, I knew that they were from there. I picked up my pace and the others followed.
"Hey, where're you going?!" Cole asked.
"Greenwood. My sister's there." I said as I started running again.
I was by the gates, waiting for Kyle to come in. Adagio came up with Star Swirl in her arms.
"He looks healthy." I said.
"Yes, he does." Adagio said.
"I hope they make it back soon." I said.
I then heard a faint voice call my name. I turned back and saw someone run up with about 15 people behind him.
"SONATA! SONATA!" The figure in the front called.
He got closer and saw that it was Kyle. I leaped down and swung the gates open. When they came in, Kyle then lunged on me. I held him as the others looked on.
"You're his sister?" Sunset asked.
I nodded with tears pouring out nonstop.
When I was able to open my eyes again, I saw Applejack, Blossom, Dexter, and a stranger who was looking at Rainbow like nothing else mattered.
"R... Rainbow?"
"Firefly?"
I was too busy thinking about Sonata to care.
After we met up, we started making ourselves at home. Aparrently, Sonata already set up cabins for each of them.
"I planned on running this place until the... other Twilight came. I figured she'd know what she was doing. But, since you're here and she isn't, I guess she's still in Equestria." She said.
"Yeah. We tried to get her, but the portal's shut." Sunset said.
"Well, we'll have to work something out. For now, you should start making yourselves at home. Later, we'll give you all a tour." Sonata said.
Twilight decided I could stay in her cabin until we worked something out. She apparantly had a guest bed and said I could take it. We set up by the time the sun started going down.
"We should go to the party tonight." Rainbow said.
"What party?" I asked.
"We have a party for all the newbies." Firefly said holding Rainbow's hand.
Not even going to ask.
We walked into a huge tent they put up. About 50 people were inside it and taking their seats at the sides. I saw Sonata start to walk up when she saw me in the crowd.
"Everyone... we have several new guests tonight. People who viaguously turned me into this... at a price. One of them is my brother, Kyle Williams. The others are the people I've told you about: The people who can help us through this. Come on up, guys."
We all started walking up to the stage. Johnny, Susan, Sissy, and Rin sat down.
"Come on. You're one of us." I said stretching my hand out.
They got up later and walked up with us. Sonata handed me the mic and I opened my mouth to speak.
"Hello. I'm Kyle. Apparently, you've heard of them." I said pointing at Rainbow, Sunset, and Applejack.
"The others are Rin, Johnny, Susan, and Sissy. We found them on the road. They heard that we were headed for this place, they were just the kind of people to not say no." I lied.
I couldn't tell them about Rin, not just yet.
"Before we met them, we had a place. A city. Now, that you have Blossom, Dexter, and AJ, you probably heard of this story. But I wanna tell it again. We found it a year after everything went down, The Big Turn, we called it. After we built it up, we were attacked by an armed Kingdom." I kept talking until I saw Meiko look among the crowd, at me.
"I think that's all for now." Sonata offered as she handed her hand out to take the mic.
I handed to her and heard some people clap in interest. We went back when I saw someone behind me poke me.
"Kyle?"
"...Jane?"
"Wait, who's Jane?" Rin asked.
"An old orphan friend of mine." I said as we held each other instantly.
"Kyle, you're alive, after all this time? How?"
"I'll tell you later. Sonata too. The whole story." I said.
After the meeting, I called Sunset, Rainbow, and Applejack into the farm house.
"What is it?" Sunset asked.
"I wanna know what happened. There were six of you, now there are three of you; what happened?" I asked.
"...People died. Rarity, one of us, she was killed by someone who was a threat. Pinkie and Fluttershy, we lost them during the attack on Sanctuary. They could be out there, or they could be dead." Sunset told.
We were silent for a while until Adagio opened her mouth.
"We have wine in the counter, if you're interested."
"No, thanks. I'm good." Rainbow said.
"Nah, same here." AJ said.
Sunset was silent until she decided to walk around the counter and grab a bottle. She found a glass and poured a little into it, before sipping it down. She started coughing slightly, but poured another glass. Adagio grabbed the bottle when she was done and read the label.
"Red's Apple Ale. Not bad for a first drink." She said.
Sunset laughed and grabbed the bottle back.
"Careful. Alcohol kills brain cells, you know." I joked as I poured a glass myself.
"When did you meet him, Kyle?" Rainbow asked.
I turned around.
"Do you really wanna know?" I asked.
"Yes." AJ said.
"Well, strap yourselves down, because this is a long story..."
Author's Note
Okay, now the story will be back in full swing as chapters go. I apologize for the wait, but I wanted season 5 to end so I could know how the show handled certain arcs and characters that could carry over in the story over time.
