The Zombie War (Original)

We arrived at the safe-zone Gideon spoke of. The walls were about 50 meters high, made of solid concrete, and only God knows how thick they were, because we saw about 20 guards at the top, with weapons pointed at us.

"DROP YOUR WEAPONS, STEP OUT OF THE CAR, AND KEEP YOUR HANDS UP!" A soldier said with a megaphone.

We got out and did what the man said.

"Gideon, what the hell is this, man?' The soldier asked.

"My name's Kyle Williams. This is Twilight Sparkle, Keita Suminoe, Ako Suminoe, and Yūzuki." I said.

"Wait. Kyle Williams... Holy shit..." I heard the soldier say.

"What?" Twilight asked.

"Come inside. Open the gate, Travis." The soldier said.

The large gate started going up and we drove inside.

"Car goes there, and Kyle, see that soldier after." Travis said.

"You got it." I said.

We parked the Changeling with the other cars, and I went to see that soldier.

"Yeah?" I asked.

The soldier took off the mask, and I saw...

I saw...

Oh, my God.

"Hey, son. We should talk."

"What time did he leave?!" Rainbow asked me.

"I don't know, a few hours ago, at least." I said.

Rainbow grabbed her bat from the armory, along with a revolver.

"I'm going after him, don't even try to stop me, Rin." Rainbow said as she ran up to a car.

"I'm going, too." I said.

"Me and Cinch'll take another car, cover more ground. Cinch, come on!" Firefly said as she tried to knock Cinch out of her daze.

"This was my fault... all of this..." Cinch said as she didn't move, her expression never changed.

"Cinch?" I asked.

Cinch started looking dizy.

"Cinch!" Firefly said.

Cinch snapped out of it and they went to the car.

"Rin, you stay here, I'm going." Gary said.

"What, why?" I asked.

"Because I know where he's going." Gary said.

"D- D... Dad? How... how...?" I started.

I couldn't finish my sentence as I bolted to him and held him in an embrace.

"We have a lot to talk about..." Dad said.

"Yeah, we do. About Aria." I said.

Dad looked startled.

"You know them?" Dad asked.

"Adagio and Aria? Yeah." I said.

"They didn't... they didn't try anything?" Dad asked worryingly.

"What? No!" I said, quickly understanding his meaning.

"Oh, thank God!" Dad said in instant relief.

"Dad, what's going on? Beth's not my mother, I have a half-sister, -who's still alive, by the way- and Walkers ignore me." I asked.

"Like I said, we have a lot to talk about, but not here." Dad said.

"Yeah, not here. We're going back." I said to Twilight.

"You got it." Twilight said.

"Wait, going back where?" Dad asked.

"Canterlot High. We have about 10 blocks of it walled." I said.

"Is Beth there?" Dad asked.

I froze. He doesn't know...

"No. I'm sorry. She's... she isn't..." I started.

Dad was frozen in sadness.

"We don't have time. I'll explain everything back home." I said.

Dad looked at Travis.

"Of course. It's been an honor fighting alongside you, Mr. Williams." Travis said, saluting.

"When we're done, we should discuss trade." I said.

"You got it." Dad said as he wiped a tear and we headed for the Changeling.

Me and that Rainbow girl were looking for Kyle.

"How long have you known Kyle?" I asked her.

"About 2 years." She said.

"I always saw him on the bus, after Chrysalis." I said.

"Wait, what happened with Chrysalis?" Rainbow asked.

I realized that he didn't tell everyone.

"Hopefully, he'll tell you soon enough." I said.

We were silent as we drove down the road. We saw a car pass by, a dark one, with about 7 passengers in it.

In the window, I saw Kyle.

We parked the car, ran out, and I saw Rainbow shout out. The car stopped, drifted around, and Kyle came out.

"What are you doing out here?!" Rainbow asked.

"Something I had to." I said.

"Oh? I see you made some friends while I was gone..." A man with some burns on his body said.

"Who the hell's this?" Rainbow asked.

Kyle took a breath.

"Rainbow, this my dad, Henry. Henry, Rainbow." Kyle said.

"Wait, you said he died in a fire." Rainbow said.

"We'll explain everything, but later." I said.

Me and Cinch were driving through a neighborhood, Changeling Blvd., looking for any sign of Kyle. What we found was a burnt house up ahead.

"That was her house... He was here." Cinch said as she walked out of the car.

"Who's she?" I asked.

"Chrysalis. She... molested Kyle." Cinch bluntly said.

I silently gasped, before snapping back into it.

"Look, you're not that woman anymore, alright? The woman who bribed Twilight, who beat Kyle to a pulp, you're not that woman. You're trying to change." I said as I held my hand out.

"Go. Go back home. I can't go back." Cinch said.

"Why?" I asked.

"...Because Chrysalis had a baby after Kyle." Cinch said.

We were at the gates. I flashed the headlights the signal we came up with, they opened, and I parked the car.

"Damn, where did you find this?!" Sonata asked.

"Contest. From that guy." I said, pointing at Gideon.

"Uh, hi." Gideon said.

"That's Keito, Ako, and Yūzuki." Twilight said.

"Sonata? Is that you?" Dad said as he got out of the car.

"Yeah, how do you..." Sonata started.

Dad ran to Sonata and held her in an embrace. When Sonata realized who he is, she started crying and held him tighter.

"What happened out there? Why did you leave?" Rainbow asked.

I was silent. I choked a breath, and I looked at the town.

"Gather everyone in the middle of town. I have something I need to say." I said.
