The Zombie War (Original)

I looked out and saw that the wall was down and... Dogs were running in with all kinds of melee weapons, but hardly any guns.

"KILL THEM ALL!" Cried one of the Dogs as the now moved in.

"What do we do?" Twilight asked me.

"We gotta get them out." I said.

"How?" Sonata asked.

"I don't know. It's too many to take out." I said.

"Bullcrap. We can take 'em." Buttercup said.

"As much as I like fighting, Kyle's right. We can't charge in without getting slashed." Rainbow said.

"So what do we do?!" Sonata whispered.

"I don't know!" I whispered back.

I was with AJ and Adagio as we started hiding inside a house.

"Who ARE these guys?!" I asked AJ.

"I don't know, Rin. It looks like some clan or somethin'." She said.

We looked out as they started killing people. I loaded my gun to get out, but Adagio stopped me.

"No! That's too many." She said.

I saw as another person was dragged out. She was shoved to the ground and pinned and most likely prepped to be raped.

"Shit..." I cursed as I barged out.

"Rin!" AJ cried.

The Dog looked up at me and let go of the girl.

"Quick... or slow?" He asked me.

"Neither." I said as I redecorated the grass and sidewalk with his brains.

I then saw 2 other Dogs glare at me. They readied their axes and bats and lunged at me.

"Get inside!" I said as I opened fire on the other Dogs.

She ran in and we locked the doors just in the nick of time.

"Who are you?" I asked the girl.

"Jane. I... I was with Kyle, but I lost him." Jane said panting for breath.

"Can you shoot?" I asked her as I grabbed my gun to give to her.

"Yeah." Jane said as she loaded the pistol and put it in her holster.

"Listen, if we stay here, we're going to die. We need to get to the house. Kyle would go there." I said to the others.

"Let's go." Adagio said.

"We can't! We'll get killed on sight." I said.

Before we could talk more, a shotgun blast went through one of the Dogs, and a loud whack through another. I opened the door and saw...

"Diamond?"

Diamond was there with a staff and Joel wasn't too far behind.

"Where's Kyle?" Joel asked.

"We don't know. We saw him at the Rec Tent, t-that big tent down there." Jane said.

"We have to get in there." Diamond said.

"We gotta go. We saw zombies comin' through the south wall. A lot." Joel said.

"Let's go." I said.

We were holding up in the Rec Tent. Several Dogs tried to get in, but we stopped them.

"Kyle, we can't hold them back much longer." Twilight said.

"What should we do? The whole community's here!" Rainbow said.

"We need to hold them off. I'll go out and look around, see how many there are." I said.

"You're not going alone." Sonata said.

"Fine. The rest of you, stay here and protect them. If any Dog gets through, kill them." I said.

"Got it." Buttercup said as she was ready to charge out and attack them.

I grabbed my Judge and found a Colt 1911 for Sonata. Together, we stuck to the shadows and saw over 50 Dogs everywhere.

"You couldn't fend this many off?" I asked.

"Not a lot of people wanted to be armed. We insisted, but they didn't listen." Sonata said.

"Damn it..." I cursed.

"Now what?" Sonata asked.

"Is there an armory?" I asked.

"Yeah. It's in the house." Sonata said.

"Head back. I'll find a rifle with Buttercup, take them out." I said.

"Why her?"

"Because she can fly and you can't." I said.

"Neither can you." Sonata said.

"No, but I can shoot. You need to protect the others. I'll be back." I said as I started my way back for Buttercup.

We were headed for the Rec Tent when we saw a LOT of Walkers from the south.

"God DAMN IT!" Adagio said as she started blasting them.

"Come on, we gotta go!" I said to Adagio.

We ran to the Rec Tent. I couldn't see Kyle.

"Where is he?" AJ asked.

"He's out scouting with Sonata." Rainbow said.

"He's gotta come back. There's a horde of them headed straight here. The tent won't hold them." I said.

"We can't go right now. Kyle's still out there." Sunset said.

"We have to. Anyone who stays here is gonna die." I said.

"We can hold them back. There's not that many." Diamond said as she pulled out a Sawn-Off Shotgun and started stepping near the horde.

"If she's fightin' so am I!" Buttercup said as she pulled out a sword.

"Me too." Rainbow said as she pulled out an SMG.

"Me four." Joel said as he loaded his shotgun.

Eventually, we all loaded our weapons at the tent where the Walkers started tearing through. They then flooded in and we started firing. It was a bloodbath, with us shooting and Buttercup slicing and punching the Walkers. We then started running out of bullets; people started getting pulled in the horde and devoured.

"Everyone, to the house NOW!" Twilight said as she sliced through a Walker and started pulling people to the exit.

Before we could run out, Dogs ran in through it.

"This way!" Twilight said.

She sliced through the tent and we ran to the house. Kyle and Sonata then ran next to us.

"Good. You're safe. Come on!" Sonata said.

We ran into the house and started fortifying the doors and windows.

"Where do we go?" A person asked.

"Anywhere but here." Sonata said.

"No. We can hold them back." Diamond said.

Then, another person stepped up.

"YOU! You lead them here, didn't you?! Now you're gonna kill all of us!"

"Hey, hey, hey. Everyone calm down. She didn't lead them here, she's not gonna kill us. There're friends of Kyle and they're friends of ours now." Sonata said.

"Move over, Sonata." The person said as he loaded a shotgun.

Diamond readied her staff and Joel pumped his shotgun and took the safety off.

"Put that down, James!" A woman, probably his wife, said.

"No, Maria. She killed us! Now we gotta make her pay." James said as he aimed his gun.

Diamond then swung at him, rendering his unconscious.

"He's alive. For now." Diamond said to Maria who was taken aback by the attack.

Before we could do anything else, the barricades broke and the horde started breaking through.

"Upstairs, all of you!" Sonata said as she started blasting Walkers up.

James was surrounded and devoured in his sleep, Maria leaped in soon after. The rest of us ran upstairs and moved a couch against the stairs.

"Holy SHIT, what just happened?!" Adagio asked.

"How many are out there?" Kyle asked.

I looked out the window and saw that the Dogs were now Runners, but the horde was short, just reaching the outside of the house.

"Not a lot. If we can find a way outside, we can outrun them. All of us." I said.

There were about 24 of us, counting Star Swirl, who was now in Adagio's arms.

"What about him?" A person asked.

"We take him with us." Adagio said sternly.

"What if he slows us down?" The person asked.

"He won't. Calm the hell down." Kyle said to him.

"Yes, he will. If we make it out, if we hole up somewhere, what do we do when he starts to cry? Hell, what if he started walkin' and walks into another goddamn horde?!"

"HEY! Calm down! He WON'T slow us down, he WON'T be an issue. Like it or not, he is my SON! I am NOT leaving him to Walkers!" Adagio said as she started leading the person to the window.

"You wanna get away? Jump. You can outrun them." Adagio said to him.

"'Dagio! Calm down." Jane said to her.

"Don't you DARE tell me to calm down!" Adagio said.

"EVERYONE CALM THE HELL DOWN!" Sonata screamed.

Silence then filled the room as Sonata's outburst ended.

"Look, I get it. You're all afraid. But this is a scary world, now. If you don't fight, you die. Now, does anyone else have ANYTHING they want to say?" I asked.

Everyone shook their heads and we prepared to jump.

"How many people were here?" I asked Sonata.

"...56 at least." She said.

"And now there're 25..." I said.

"Yeah. Look, I know that they ALL aren't going to make it. But we have to try. Otherwise, we're just as good as they are. You know that, right?" Sonata asked me.

"Yeah... I know." I replied.

We started to let people out and run. I saw that the couch was almost down.

"Go! We got this!" A man said as he and a few of the other residents went with him.

They ran down and held the couch up. I told Rin to go out first, then Rainbow, then Twilight, then Joel, then Diamond.

That was when the couch crashed down and crushed the survivors to death.

"GO!" I called out to the other 18 people left.

As we jumped out, Frosty got grabbed.

"FROSTY!" Kat called out.

I shot the Walker on him, but it was useless, as about 30 more were behind that one. We all ran out the house and into the fields. I saw the bodies, Greenwood, Walkers, and Dogs.

"Shit... now what?" Sonata asked.

"We look for survivors, draw the zombies away, and get the armory. Then, we take the truck and go." I said.

"Where do we go?" Alice asked.

"Somewhere that's not here." Sonata said.

Before we started looking, Meiko came out with one of the Dogs hostage. I recognized him off the spot. He was Top Dog, their leader.

My father's killer.

"You did this. All of it." I said to him.

"Who the hell are you?" Top Dog asked me.

I knelt down to him and leaned in close.

"Sanctuary Orphanage. Remember the name? It was the name of my father's orphanage, Henry Williams. You burnt it all to the ground. The orphanage, 20 of the children, and Henry himself. Who am I? I'm Kyle Williams. Remember that."

Top Dog wasn't stunned in any way.

"What do you want?" He asked finally.

"What do I want?" I asked him.

I then started putting a hand at my knife.

"I want. To know. Why. Why did you kill them? What did we do that was so bad, that was so horrifying, that you had to destroy it all?" I asked.

"...You have her." Top Dog said, pointing at Sonata.

I turned at Sonata and turned back.

"What did she do that was so bad?" I asked.

"If I told ya, you'd never look at her the same again." Top Dog said.

Before anything could happen, he was snatched from behind and pinned to a way by Diamond, who punched him in the face.

"Do you remember me? Huh? Do you remember SILVER SPOON?! She was the one that YOU shot in the face after your men raped her AND me, SIDE. TO. SIDE." Diamond said as she landed more punches.

"Look, liste-" He was silenced by Diamond landing a blow on him.

She pinned him to the ground and landed blow after blow, until Joel stopped her. We looked at the aftermath and saw Top Dog, struggling to breathe, his face covered in blood. I took my knife and went up to his ear.

"Kyle Williams. Remember the name." I said as I stabbed him in the head soon after.
