The Zombie War (Original)

I opened my eyes, in a bed. I turned around and saw Twilight, about a few feet away in her own bed. I then recalled the events of yesterday. I finally got my sister back, and we were safe again. I don't expect it to last, but we can make it last. I got up and went to see the others, who were already up.

"Do you think this can work?" I asked Rainbow.

"It has to. We were almost out there too long. And if you are, you end up like I was." Rin said coming up.

"She's right." Rainbow said.

"Well, we should start thinking on what this place has. We should take a look at the wall." I said.

"You can ask Sonata or Twilight." Applejack said.

"Maybe." I said.

"What is it?" AJ asked.

"Nothing. It's just been too long since I saw her again, I don't have the first clue on how she changed." I said.

"Maybe she didn't." Rainbow said.

"I did. I know I did." I said.

"Me too. So did Diamond." Rin said.

"Diamond... that reminds me. Should we tell them to come?" I asked.

"Of course! Diamond needs this, so does Joel." Rin said.

"You don't know Joel, you don't know what they did to him..." I said coldly.

"What did they do?" Rin said.

I suddenly remembered what happened as soon as I said it. The tape... the way he changed...

"Nothing... just... nothing." I said.

Before the others could ask more questions, Twilight came out with her sword holstered.

"Did I hear you wanted a tour of the wall?"

Me and Twilight were looking at the wall. It was dumpsters and the backs of 18-wheelers placed together.

"How did you make all of this?" I asked.

"We kept building it up. It started as pallets around the house, but then we got more help." Twilight said.

I immediately started comparing this place to Sanctuary. We started out with pallets too...

"What did I miss here?" I asked.

"...A lot. We were attacked, we killed people, we lost people..." Twilight said.

"How about Sonata?" I asked.

"She killed. Lost people..." Twilight said.

"I did too..." I said.

"She asked me to talk to you tomorrow. About what happened." Twilight said.

"When?" I asked.

"As soon as we're done looking at the wall." Twilight said.

We kept looking until we found a large crack in the wall.

"Holy crap... what could've done this?" Twilight asked.

I pulled out my knife arm and climbed the wall. I didn't see anything except for about 7 zombies pounding against the wall.

"We should get construction crew on it." Twilight said.

"Yeah... we should." I replied.

Twilight pulled out her walkie and asked for some builders to fix the wall.

"You got it. They'll be there in a few minutes." Adagio said.

"Let's go have that talk." Twilight said.

We made it to the house and took a seat on the couch. Sonata came out of the other room and sat down.

"First off, great to see you again." Sonata said.

"That's an overstatement. Me too." I said.

"What happened to you?" I asked.

I opened my mouth and began speaking about it all: Gary, CHS, Sanctuary, Megaville, The Kingdom...

Scootaloo.

"I'm sorry... Can't imagine how that feels." Sonata said.

"We were out on the road. We found a radio station they set up in. They came out and tried to..." I started.

"Jesus..." Sonata said.

"That's not it. Yowane pinned me against me against and said that she was going to do that to me. I killed her when she was distracted. I stopped it before it happened." I said.

"What else happened?" Sonata asked.

"We found two people: Joel and Diamond Tiara. Diamond lost it. The Dogs killed her friend, maybe raped them both... Joel, he changed. Or so it looked." I said.

"You wanna bring them here?" Sonata said.

"I'm thinking about that." I said.

"I think you should. The more people we have, the better." Sonata said.

"I'll put it under consideration." I said.

I left the house to see the others. They were in a seat, talking to some of the other people here. Jane saw me and took a seat.

"Sonata talked to me. I'm sorry." She said.

"There's nothing anyone could've done. It's how the cookie crumbled." I said.

"That's what Henry always said." Jane said.

"I know." I said.

I hadn't thought about my dad in a long time. What would he do if I left Joel and Diamond out there? It doesn't matter what they did. They deserve this place, even Joel after...

"I'll be right back." I said.

"You got it." Jane said.

I went up to speak to Joel.

"Yeah?" Joel asked.

"How is Diamond?" I asked.

"Oh, you have no idea. You told me how she was? Well, she's NOTHING like that. She's better now." Joel said.

"We're at Greenwood. My sister's alive. We think you should join us." I said.

"Really? After what I did to you?" Joel asked.

"Don't do it..." That damn voice in my head said.

"Yeah. After what you did to me and after what THEY did to YOU." I said.

"Thank you. I'll tell Diamond to start packing." Joel said.

"You shouldn't have done it... he'll just get more people killed."

"I swear, as soon as I find out who this voice is, I am going to kill it." I said in my head.

"You can't kill me, Kyle. You just can't."

"Kyle! You okay?" I heard Sonata ask.

I looked down and saw her nearby.

"Yeah. We might have two new people coming in soon. Thought you should know." I said.

"Joel?" She asked.

I couldn't lie. She would know.

"Yeah." I said.

Sonata just nodded and went to watch the gates. Most likely to look out for Joel and Diamond. I decided to ask Jane where the others were.

"Oh, they're in the Rec Tent." Jane said.

"Wait, the what?"

So, apparently, the construction crew built up a HUGE tent for gatherings. It was like a circus tent, maybe bigger. I finally found the others with Firefly and Buttercup [Apparently, one of Blossom's sisters.].

"So, you still not sure this could work?" Rainbow whispered to me.

"I'm sure. This can work, for now. Just as long as-" I was interrupted by the sound of a truck smashing through the wall.

I ran out and saw...

Dogs.
