[PROTOTYPE]: Equestrian Division

Chapter 2

I woke up early and decided to take a walk around town, since everyone else at home was asleep except Red and Violet, They were up and talking about their new life together as parents.

"It's peaceful in the city now. Unlike the crazy ass times we had since High School." I told myself, flying off of the ground

As I was flying around, I saw a familiar group of girls.

I landed behind them and they turned around.

"Well, I'll be damned." One of the them said.

"It's Lightning!" Another said.

"The one and only. Good to see you Rena, Ari, and Nia" I said, walking towards them.

"We haven't seen you since Graduation." Rena said.

"What did we miss since then?" Nia said.

"Not much, Shit still happened." I said.

"I heard that you and your best friend Angel became official." Ari said.

"Well, I can't lie about something that's true." I said.

"So How many times have you came together since then?" Rena asked, with a smile.

"That's easy it was... Wait a motherfucking minute!" I shouted.

They all giggled about it.

"I'm not going to answer that question." I said.

"Fine, you don't have to." They said.

"Thanks." I said, a bit annoyed at it.

"So what are you doing back here in Manehattan?" They asked.

"Visiting. Why?" I said.

"Just wondering." Rena said.

"If you say so." Nia said.

As we talked a bit to catch up to each other's lives, they had to get and said we'll catch up again soon.

I continued to walk and came across someone limping towards me.

"Hey, are you okay?" I asked him.

As I got closer, he lunged towards me like he tried to bite me

I pushed him back, but that didn't stop him from attacking me again.

"What the fuck is your problem!" I said, punching him away from me.

As I got no answer, but got attacked again I took him and smashed to a nearby wall.

I was surprised when he got back up so I flew back home

As I arrived back home, I saw plenty of those same people like the one from earlier.

"You have got to be fucking kidding me." I said, flying through one of the houses open windows.

I flew down the stairs and to my room and saw my girlfriend sitting there.

"Lightning!" She said.

"Yea, What's the problem?" I asked.

"You might want to look at this." Angel said, turning on the TV.

"Now for the news on the Blacklight Virus, it is now very important that everyone stay in indoors, and board up your houses. These zombie like creatures are to be avoided at all costs, and in other news on the Blacklight Virus, It's gaseous form is highly volatile, and breathing it in will result in death." As Angel cut the TV off.

"Well, shit." I said.

"It's getting worse every day." Angel said.

"I can tell. Before we even know it, We're either going to be dead or apart of this shit." I said.

"Not unless we can do something about it." Angel said.

"What can we even use to defend ourselves with?" I said.

"I think I can help with that." Mother said, appearing out of nowhere.

"Gahhh! Mom?" I said.

"Yes, Lightning?" Mother said.

"Um... When did you get in here?" I asked.

"Not too long ago." Mother said.

"But like I was saying. I think I can help you with that." Mother told me.

"You can? How?" Angel said.

"Angel, sweetie. You are talking to a 4-year member of the Manehattan Marines, and 2-year member of the Canterlot Navy." Mother said.

"Wait, What?" Angel looked at me.

"And you didn't bother to tell me?!" Angel added.

"How could I tell you anything If I didn't even know about myself? Mom never told me about this." I said.

"This is before you were even born." Mother said, with a smile.

"And because of me, you left." I said, looking down feeling guilty about it.

"Pretty much. But don't worry Sweetie, I was very happy you were born. And you looked so cute as a baby!" Mother said.

"So you're saying you have weapons?" Angel asked.

"Why yes, I do." Mother said.

"Ranging from what?" I asked.

"Small to large depending on what you want to use. If you're going to be on the move alot, you might want stick between small and medium weapons." Mother said.

"That works out fine, Mother Thank you very much." I said.

"Your welcome, I'll leave you and Angel alone now. And I'll leave you two something small just in case you two will be on the move." Mother said.

"Did I hear something about guns?" Red said, walking in with Violet.

"How did you come to hear any of that?" I asked him.

"Hey, when it comes to guns, I'm there to hear about it." Red said.

"That didn't explain my question. But whatever." I said.

"So you actually plan on going out there?" Red asked.

"Yea, I want to find out what caused this." I said.

"Then count me, I want to find out what caused this too." Red said.

"Mother, Are you fine with this?" I asked her.

"Why not, You're both adults now, And I expect to be a grandmother soon enough." Mother said.

Angel and I just slightly blushed as she looked and smiled towards us.

"Ehh... Point taken." Angel said.

"Here, catch." Mother said, tossing four small firearms to us.

We caught the guns, and got lucky that we didn't set them off on ourselves

"Be careful not to get killed out there when you go." Mother said.

"Got it." I said.

After that, we went out through the open window on the second floor and dropped to the ground.

"Okay, you would want to watch your ass out here because those decomposing fucks are pretty strong." I told them.

"Come on Lightning, That can't be that damn strong, man." Red said.

"You'll find out soon enough." I said.

After that Red did get attacked.

He struggled a bit before I helped him by kicking the zombie off of him

Red got up and stomped on the zombie's head repeatedly until there was pretty much nothing left to stomp on.

"Believe me now?" I said, giving him an annoyed look.

"You're a fucking asshole." Red said.

"Hey, you had it coming." I said.

"Whatever, Let's get going. There's still a whole city to explore." Red said.

"Then you better check your ammo." I said, checking my own.

"I'll do that, When I think i'm low on ammo." Red said.

"Were you always this fucking stubborn?" I said.

"You would be surprised." Red said.

I gave Red a questionable look then looked towards Violet. And she just shrugged.

"Just great." I said, to myself.

We continued on our way and came across some Blackwatch Soldiers.

"Hey! What the fuck are you doing out here?! You have a death wish!" One of the soldiers said.

"We managed to survive without dying yet." I said.

He pointed his gun at me.

"If I were you, I'd keep my mouth shut when facing a man with a gun." He said.

"Whoa! Calm the fuck down! What did I say that was wrong?!" I said.

"Hey! Let them go. I can guarantee they'll be dead within the next few hours." Another said.

He put his gun down to his side.

"Fine, If I see them again in the damn city, I will shoot all four of them." He said.

"Hey, you can't shoot us, We're citizens of this city!" Angel exclaimed.

"This isn't a city anymore. It's a fucking war zone." He said.

"Aren't your goals to protect everyone possible?" Red asked.

"In this Infected Wasteland, There's no reason to protect anyone." He said.

"Cut it out! Look, you four better find shelter somewhere. Or else you're gonna die." Another said.

"At least you can be reasoned with. Alright, we'll listen your words and thank you for the help." I said.

"And another thing, You might wanna watch out for him. He doesn't give a shit unless he can kill something or someone." He whispered to us.

"Yea, no shit." I said.

"Alright then, Ready to go Lightning?" Angel said.

"Wait, Lightning? What's your full name?" He asked, as the other two looked over towards us.

"Oh, It's Lightning Storm. Why?" I asked.

"I do recognize your name. You're Sargent Sharpshooter's cousin, aren't you?" He asked.

"His cousin? The other two called out.

"Deadshots? Um... Yeah, I'm his cousin, so is my little brother." I said, questionably and pointing towards Red.

"Wow, He mentioned you a few times while in battle. But never really explained much about you or your brother." He said.

"Okay? Me and Red said, questionably looking at each other.

"Nevermind that. But like I said, you might wanna get to Shelter." He said.

"Alright. We'll see what we can find a empty house around here somewhere." I said.

"Good." He said, as they all walked off.

"We still going on, right?" Red asked.

"Yea, let's go." I said.

We explored the city even more and came across some infected.

"Well, Here we go with these things again.

"Well, we can put these guns to actual use now." Red said, pulling out the gun Mother gave all four of us.

Me and Red took aim and pulled the trigger on two different infected coming our way.

As we saw the Infected hit the ground, We heard two more shots right behind us.

"You two need to pay more attention around you." Violet and Angel told us.

"Right." We both said.

As we shot any infected heading our way. We didn't see anymore coming our way which told us it was safe.

"Well, that seemed easier than I thought." Red said.

"These infected are simple,I think we have more bigger ones around the city." I said.

"Well, let's get going." Angel said.

As we walked off, We did eventually come across an Empty house.

We walked inside and noticed a dead body, in a corner.

"I guess we're not alone in here right now." I said, listening to my surrounding and hearing a faint scream.

"We have guns, let's just shoot it." Red suggested.

"Do you want us to get swarmed by those infected?" I asked.

Red Remained silent.

"I thought so." I said, walking up a set of stairs towards the faint screaming.

"Hold on, I'll not letting you go up there on your own, I'm coming with you." Angel said.

"No. I'm not risking your life if something is up here." I said.

"And I'm not risking yours Lightning." Angel said.

I looked at her, and just smiled at her.

"Alright then, Stay behind me." I said to her.

"I'll be right here." Angel said, with a smile.

As I walked up the stairs, The faint screaming got louder by almost every step me and Angel took.

I peeked around a corner and saw an Infected eating a another person.

"Alright, Stay right here Angel, I'm going to kill this thing." I said.

"Be careful, Lightning." Angel said.

I entered the room and try my hardest to not be heard and It was working so far.

I pulled out a knife I started keeping with me because Angel wanted to make use I put it to good use.

I had no actually reason to use it and just kept in my pocket everywhere I went

As I closed in on the Infected, I readied the knife and went for the back of the head.

I was successful at not getting attacked and I actually felt relived.

"Well, looks like we have a house for the night." I said.

"Good to know." Angel said.

"I'm going to look around to see if this place has a second bedroom. Go on and tell Red and Violet." I told Angel.

"On it." Angel said, walking down the stairs

Red and Violet were downstairs removing the dead body from earlier when Angel came down.

"Hey Angel, Me and Violet were just getting rid of that dead body." Red said.

"I see that, Lightning wanted me to tell you two, this is were we're going to be for the night." Angel said.

"Good to know, night is starting to fall. We know the Infected are strong, we don't know how these things are at night." Violet said.

"Okay, Now, I got to dump to bodies outside as well. You two want to help me out here?" Angel said.

"If you need it, yea. We'll help out. You are Family after all." Red said, with a smile.

"Not yet. Me and Lightning still need to get married and have our child some day." Angel said.

"Hey, Married or not, you're still family. Me and Red aren't even married and Lightning Already calls me his little sister." Violet said.

"Good to know, now come on, we need to dump this bodies before they make this house stink even more." Angel said.

"Got it." They both said, following Angel up the stairs to dump the two bodies.

After the two bodies were dumped outside Red, Violet, and Angel decided to clean up a bit.

During that time, Lightning came down.

"Hey Lightning, We're just fixing up a bit make this place livable." Violet said.

"Alright, It does look better. We might make this a living area for us." I said.

"Alright done. Ready for bed Lightning?" Angel said.

"Yea, let's go. And There's another room for you and Violet to sleep in." I told them.

"Thanks for telling us at least." Red said.

"No problem Red, Good night." I said.

"Night Red and Violet." I said.

Me and Angel laid down in the bed, and Angel wanted to ask me something.

"Are you still ready to attempt for a baby?" Angel asked with a smile.

"If your the one leading, I'm fine with it." I said, not even knowing what she has in plan.

"Good to Know." Angel said, as she kissed me.

"I probably just set myself up for something I might not even know about." I thought to myself.
