Frank West is caught in an explosion after being ambushed by a zombified TK. Instead of death, however, he faces an unearthly world filled with celestial creatures. His situation becomes complicated as he is forced to adapt to a civilization filled with pegasi and unicorns out of all things, but after an encounter with a familiar face, he slowly realizes that he was not sent to the strange world for no reason.

Zombies. Psychopaths. The loss of loved ones. The Phenotrans controversy and the mystery behind what really happened at Santa Cabeza... Everything Frank had seen, faced, and heard of was inevitably going to tumble onto Equestria. No matter how much he could not relate to Equestria's citizens, Frank West realizes that he is about to cover what could be his final war.

(This is VERY different from Dead Rising: Off-The-World, the previous version of this story. Changes are very substantial, so nearly every event that occurs in this story will be different.)

(Credits go to Reddevil00 for the Chuck Greene Render used on the cover title of Lens of West; also, a shoutout to the people who made the Photoshop brushes I used. I directly rendered the other two heroes of Dead Rising myself.)
