Equestrian Front: The New War

Village of the Dead

Willis, Wilhelm, Leduc, Boris, Tadao and Tommy were in Ponyville's train station, there were zombies in the street. There were buildings and wagons in flames and dead bodies missing their heads. The town was abandoned or something. The six checked the windows making sure there were no zombies in the buildings. Sure enough, there weren't. They saw a graffiti design that had a house with a smiley face on it meaning safe house or safe room. The safe room symbol was on a large tree with a balcony on the first floor. The six went inside to see an arsenal of weapons on a table with ammo crates and food crates with a few sleeping bags.

"Hello," a voice said, "You must be sent by the military to help us. My name is Twilight Sparkle." The six turned around to see Twilight Sparkle. She was wearing a black cloak, an eye patch and white headband.

"Yes, we are sent by the Allied/Axis command to help out survivors in need," answered Willis, " Are you the only survivor in this town?"

"No," Twilight responded, "I'm sure Pinkie Pie and Applejack are holding out in Sweet Apple Acres."

"Ok, let's get 'em then lads," Tommy suggested.

"No, you guys aren't going to survive on your own out there," Twilight said, "There are more zombies in Sweet Apple Acres than here, you will need some fresh equipment and ammunition."

"That's great! We could use some new weapons," Wilhelm said in delight.

The soldiers rested and prepared for the rescue. The time was about 0400. The six soldiers looked out the window and saw zombies roaming the streets eating away at dead bodies. They saw a zombie with flames coming out of his body eating away at a pile of flesh. The zombies gathered around the safe room with some banging on the door with crowbars and shovels. The door shook with each hit.

"Get something heavy to barricade the doors!" Leduc shouted.

"Don't shout so loud mate! You're bringing more of them here!" Tommy replied.

Willis, Wilhelm and Tadao got heavy furniture onto the doors. The six went upstairs bringing the equipment and weapons. They saw Twilight reading a book on the Occult.

"What's this?" Wilhelm asked.

"The plague was started when your POW's mined out a relic," Twilight responded. "It's not just any relic but an Occult relic. It's meant to bring back the dead. It's made up of four pieces since it split apart."

Twilight went to a map with red circles and stars.

"The stars represent Occult generals, these spirits are dead generals that rose from the grave and can make dead zombies rise from the ground. The circles are the relic pieces," Twilight explained," The first one is here in the library, the second is in Canterlot, the third is in a Flak Tower and the fourth piece is in the Rainbow Factory in Cloudsdale . Also, try to rescue my friends if you come across them."

Twilight guided them to the balcony where wooden platforms were on scaffolding. This was an easy place for transportation, but it was infested by zombies. The six fired their rifles whose bullets penetrated through the heads of the zombies popping them clean off. Then, an orange circle with a Satan star appeared and out came an orange zombie holding a Model 24 Steilhandgranate sprinting towards them whilst screeching. The zombie sprinted towards the six soldiers who concentrated fire on the new zombie. It quickly fell to the ground and exploded after a few seconds. The six quickly hurried across the remains of Ponyville. They traveled through buildings in flames and soon saw a bunker in the middle of the road with a few dead bodies in it. Twilight followed behind with her STG 44 on her side.

Blood Harvest

They soon were at the edge of town with a road heading to Sweet Apple Acres. On a nearby road, there was an Opel Blitz with a few dead German soldiers beside it. Willis shot the dead bodies and hopped in the driver seat along with Wilhelm who sat next to him and everyone else including Twilight in the back. The soldiers and Twilight drove off leaving Ponyville behind. As they drove, they ran over zombies blocking them. After fifteen minutes, the engine gave out from the guts and blood being spilled into it. The seven climbed out to see fields for farming being occupied by zombies. The zombies seemed to stumble towards the Opel Blitz.

"Twilight, Tommy,Tadao and Boris, stay here and repair the truck," Willis commanded.

"Will do comrade," Boris replied.

"Wilhelm, Leduc and I will go to the farm and look for survivors as well as supplies," Willis said.

Wilhelm, Leduc and Willis set out to the farm while Boris repaired the truck and Tommy sniped zombies one by one while Twilight used her STG 44 against the invading zombies. Tadao pulled out an MG 42 from the Opel and opened fire.  Meanwhile, the trio of snipers ventured towards the farm when they heard gunfire from behind. Boris and the others had already engaged zombies.

Minutes passed as they walked, they soon saw orchards in flames with zombies walking around the burnt trees. The sky was orange due to the flames and a nearby river ran red from dead bodies in there. There were IS 2 tanks in flames with zombie tankers coming out of them. There was a large horde of zombies around the farm which had barbed wire and sheet metal walls around it. The trio sniped as many zombies before heading towards the farm. When they got there, they placed landmines in and around the farm. Willis placed dynamite on the wall and detonated it which attracted zombies who were besieging them in seconds. The zombies walked over the mines which exploded and killed at least twenty of them. Willis shot a zombie in which the bullet entered its eye socket and penetrated the back of the skull going through another zombie's brain. Kill after kill, the fields were red from the blood.

After the siege, Leduc opened the barn doors and saw zombies hanging upside down with their legs tied up and linked to the ceiling. The torsos were cut open leaving intestines dangling spilling a large amount guts. Some of them were still alive screaming every now and then and some were hanged to the neck. German helmets were on the ground along with an US Airborne helmet. Willis looked behind a pile of hay to see a 101st Airborne soldier tied up to a post. Willis took a moment and nudged him with his rifle. The soldier woke up immediately, scaring Wilhelm and Leduc. The soldier tried to speak to the three but was so shocked he couldn't.

"B.....Bbb........Behind you," he stuttered.

The three turned around and were knocked out. Willis woke up and saw Boris and the others in front of him. The Airborne soldier was still tied up in his spot.

"What happened comrade?" Boris asked, "We finished fixing the truck and followed you to the barn where we found you knocked out."

Leduc, Wilhelm and Willis all felt pain in their ribs like someone had hit them with the butt of a rifle.

"I will fucking torture whoever did this!" Wilhelm declared, "He will pay with his life!"

Wilhelm grabbed the MG from Tadao and a Molotov from Boris. He threw the Molotov at the farmhouse setting it ablaze and opened fire at the windows with the MG 42 sending its 7.62mm Mauser bullets through the wood. The farmhouse soon collapsed on itself and flames consumed it.

"Take that you Jew!" Wilhelm yelled.

In the rubble, a hoof rose out. Everyone aimed their weapons at it as it rose and out came a mare with a cowboy hat.

"What in the hay did ya do that for?!" she shouted.

That must be Applejack, Willis thought. The soldiers lowered their weapons except for Wilhelm who kept aiming at her with the MG 42.

"Why did you knock us out?" Wilhelm asked.

"I thought ya'll were the walkin' dead!" Applejack replied.

That response sparked anger in Wilhelm.

"DO WE LOOK LIKE, THOSE FUCKING MONSTERS?!" Wilhelm shouted as he aimed the MG at her. "YOU KILLED MY COMRADES AND SHELLSHOCKED AN AIRBORNE SOLDIER!"

"Well I am sorry!" Applejack responded. "We need to get out of here because there are more of the dead walkin' over here!"

More zombies came, some of them were from the Royal Guards who were unlucky enough to be infected. The soldiers and the ponies hopped in the truck and started their long drive back to Canterlot. Hours passed as they drove. The time was 1100 when they came to Canterlot. Flames were still active and smoke covered the sky.

Canterlot Horror

The gas had run out and the engine died. The Opel stopped running and the six soldiers got out.  They looked around the area to see a few Royal Guards ponies trying to defend themselves from a small group of zombies. Wilhelm shot a zombie in the head, Willis got one in the heart and Tadao scored a lung shot and incapacitated a zombie. Willis walked over to the Royal Guards.

"Who are you?" Willis asked.

"Captain Sieger of the Royal Guards," one said, "These are my soldiers, Spear Head and Silver Sword. We are just clearing out the area around the palace."

"Willis H. Richards of the US 1st Army," Willis responded. "Do you have shelter in your palace?"

"Yes we do," Sieger said, "We always have some room for survivors."

"Is there a strange relic in Canterlot?" Willis questioned.

"Yes, I asked my soldiers to retrieve it but failed due to high zombie activity near the Canterlot library."

Willis went back to the Opel and saw the others were preparing.

"We're going to the Canterlot library," he announced.

The soldiers and the ponies set off on their trip to the library. They wandered the streets and saw barricades set up. Zombies were wandering the streets aimlessly and were quickly shot in the head by the soldiers. Suddenly, a sniper bullet struck at the ground in front of Willis' foot.

"Everyone get to cover!" Willis shouted.

Zombies suddenly walked out of the buildings into the streets along with a zombie sniper pinning down their targets. Then suddenly, a loud shot was heard and there was an explosion. The zombies on the streets were gone. Willis aimed his M1 Garand at the zombified sniper and took a shot. The bullet went clean through its gas mask and hit his heart killing him. Then, confetti rained on the squad from the roof tops

"Pinkie Pie!" Twilight called out.

A pink pony suddenly hopped out of a building with a 40mm mortar on her back. Willis and the others were surprised. How can a pony carry heavy equipment? That made no sense. Willis focused back on the task at hand.

"Pinkie Pie, can you try to shoot that mortar around the Canterlot library?" Willis asked. "We need less zombies around that place."

Pinkie led them back on the rooftop and set her mortar down. She set a shell inside and it fired. An explosion was heard on the roof of the building which made large hole in the entrance for them to climb into.

"There were Royal Guards going there earlier and barricaded the doors and windows in the library," Pinkie said. "Oh and you might need some rope from Applejack."

The six soldiers climbed down the rope and into the library. There they saw three dead Royal Guards with a sword stuck in each of them. It looked like they had fought each other. Wilhelm walked over to a table with a large map of Canterlot and picked up a small piece of the relic. Wilhelm picked up the relic and showed it to the rest. Then, zombies were heard banging on the door. The six soldiers prepared themselves for what was coming.
