Thank you for trying out my first fanfic. I'm new to writing so any type of constructive criticism is accepted. ALSO, there is sex in this story but IT IS NOT A CLOPFIC! I want to keep this PG-13 so sex scenes will have minimum details and won't be explicit. That being said, enjoy.
Welcome to Hell
The sound of silence couldn't have been anymore terrifying. We were in enemy territory and something was just waiting to come out of nowhere and kill us. With silence in the darkness, we didn't know where they were.
But the gear I kept close to my side gave me a sense of relief. I had a machete in my hand and two handguns holstered by the sides of my waist. My two friends, Matt and Jonathan, had their gear on as well. Matt was very athletic and had a strong build. He liked to use shotguns more so he had his pump action 12 gauge in hand. He also kept a handgun on his waist along with an empty backpack for our objective supplies. Jonathan was tough as well (not as much as Matt though) and preferred to use meele weapons. "They're way quieter" he always says but he still had an AK-47 by his side. He was holding a baseball bat in one hand and a flashlight in the other.
We were searching for food and supplies in an abandoned grocery store. The entire building was shrouded in darkness; nothing could be seen except for the light coming from Jonathan's flashlight and the moon light entering in through the windows. As we went through aisle to aisle in search of food and water, we stuck to a tight formation, sneaking swiftly and silently with Jonathan in the lead, I in the middle, and Matt in the rear.
We were just about to leave one aisle until Jonathan suddenly stopped. There was something was blocking our path. Jonathan pointed his flashlight towards it to see what it was. It was a zombie.
The rotting corpse was laying down on the floor with its head looking up. Once it noticed us, it started to move around, groaning and trying to get up in order to consume our flesh. It rolled over and started to lift itself up.
"Don't worry guys. I got this." Matt said as he aimed his shotgun at the infected creature.
"Are you fucking stupid?" asked Jonathan. "That blast is gonna attract every zombie outside the store."
"He's right. I'll take care of this." I said.
I walked towards the zombie as it was nearly all the way up and swung my blade from the side. The zombie's head rolled on the floor and the body collapsed. My machete was covered in blood.
"Holy shit Trent, nice one." Matt said excitedly.
"Thanks. I just love how they fall." I said.
We got back in our original formation and proceded to obtain our objective. We passed a few more aisles until we found canned goods. Soup, noodles, ramen, ect. we took whatever we could find. Matt took out his emty backpack and we filled it up with everything we needed. It was heavy, but not for Matt. That strength of his has helped us out a lot.
We left the aisle and proceeded to obtain water. It was just a few aisles away. We kept walking until I steped on something. I stopped to see what it was. I squinted my eyes in focus in order to observe it; hopfully the moon light would aid me. It was a box of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic gummy snacks. Oh did that take me back. Yes I am a brony. I always enjoyed watching the show before the whole world went to hell. I was made fun of a lot at my high school for it but I never let it bother me. I loved the ponies especially Fluttershy, she's my favorite. Her long beautiful, pink mane, her adorable voice, her kind and loving personality, I loved everything about her.
I must of been zoned out, thinking about ponies for a while because I heard my name being yelled by Jonathan.
"Trent? Trent! Dude, you okay?"
"Yeah." I responded. "Just got distracted! That's all."
"Well don't let it happen again. You don't wanna drop your gaurd."
"I know. I know."
I regrouped with them. We kept walking until we found bottled water. We took about six gallon jugs and gave it to Matt to hold. Matt was now full handed, but not defenseless, he had spent all four years of high school playing varsity football. I'll bet he can take down a whole group of zombies empty handed.
"Alright that's it." I said. "Let's get the fuck out of here."
Matt and Jonathan nodded their heads in agreement. We ran as fast as we could to the main entrance. Once we were outside, we saw a whole herd of 15 to 20 zombies in the parking lot.
"Fuck!" Matt yelled.
"Don't use your ammo! We can still get through them." Jonathan said.
I agreed with his statement and held on tight to my machete. Jonathan put his flashlight away in his pocket and grabbed his bat with both hands. Matt kept hold of the food and water; it was cleary obvious that he chose himself as his weapon.
We ran towards the undead like warriors on the battlefield, killing each zombie one after the other. Matt would through himself towards one and once it was lying down on the ground, he would stomp on its head, turing its brains to mush. Jonathan was hitting heads with his bat causing them either to be torn off the body or be turned into chuncks and pieces. I was stabbing and cutting off as many heads as I could. It took us about ten minutes to kill every last zombie. Once the violence ceased there was a silent moment between us. We laughed for a bit after the pause but we still had a job to do.
We sprinted to our red pickup truck. Once there, Jonathan took the driver's seat, I sat in the passenger seat and Matt placed the food and water in the trunk and then sat there with them. Our mission was complete. We drove back to our base camp, back to our fellow survivors.
I suppose I should introduce myself. My name is Trent. I am 17 years old and my friends and I have spent the past two months surving in a zombie apocalypse.
***********
The skies were perfectly clear tonight. Ever since Day 1 of this shit there hasn't been as much light pollution so I could see more stars then before. It was beautiful.
I was completely drawn in by the amazing beauty of the night sky when Jonathan spoke up, "So how you feelin' ?"
"Okay I guess. Why?"
"It's just, you've been really quiet lately. "
"Sorry, guess I got drawn into the sky. There're so much stars out and..."
"That's not what I ment." He interrupteded. "Ever since shit hit the fan you've been keeping to yourself more. You don't talk as much as you used to."
It's true, I have been acting quiet lately and I know it. This whole ordeal that we've had to endure for two months and counting has brought a lot to my mind. I can't stop thinking about what will or could happen to all of us. It's been putting me on edge and keeps me up at night.
"Yeah I know. I've just been thinking about a lot of stuff, that's all." I responded.
"You wanna talk about it?"
"No thanks. I'm good."
"Look Trent, I know you went through a lot of crazy, fucked up shit, hell, we all did. I understand that you feel like you've got a bigger responsibility than us what with your little brothers. I can respect the fact that you don't wanna talk about it, but just know that if you do wanna talk, I'm here."
"Thanks man."
Jonathan's words gave me a sense of relief. When he said that I could talk to him, I trusted him. He and I grew up together, we met at age five, we went to the same schools for 12 years, and we shared the same experiences. He was almost like a brother to me.
Jonathan kept driving for a few more minutes until we finally arrived back to base camp. It was actually my family's house before the zombies showed up. Since it was the only one of our group's houses that was big enough to accommodate all of us, we turned it into our base. We have no power or heating or running water. We just make due with what we have.
Jonathan pulled into the diveway, next to our white mini van. Once we got out, Matt and Jonathan grabbed the food and water and I lifted the garage door, manually. We would have used the front door but we barricaded it from the inside. We ran in fast since the sound of the garage door lifting up could possibly attract zombies. All three of ran in quickly. I shut the garage door closed. We were glad to finally be back home. I opened the door and we entered into the kitchen.
It was there that we were welcomed back by our weapons expert, JP, who was sitting at the counter cleaning his M4 rifle. We were lucky to have JP on our team. His dad was in the army and tought JP everything he knew about guns. If JP died on Day 1 and didn't get us the weapons and ammo from his family's gun safe, we would all be walking, undead corpses right now. We owe a lot to him.
"Oh hey guys. I take it the scouting mission went well?" He said.
Matt replied "Yup. We got enough food and water to keep us going for a while. We ran into a few zombie fucks, but everything still went better than expected."
"Awesome. Just set them over here and I'll take inventory when I'm done with this."
Matt placed the gathered supplies on the counter along with his gear. JP liked to keep track of all the firearms we used. Jonathan and I gave him our guns and ammo but we kept the meele weapons. I kept my machete in its sheath by my side. Feeling tired from our late-night mission, Matt and Jonathan decided to go upstairs to turn in, but I stayed awake for while longer.
I walked toward the family room where I heard the sound laughter and crackling fire. The rest of the team was sitting on the couch, or any other chairs, talking and telling jokes and stories. To keep our morale levels high we try to entertain ourselves in anyway possible; story telling and playing musical instruments is by far the best way.
As I walked in, I was greeted by my fellow survivors.
Sitting on one of the chairs was Ben and sitting on his lap was his blonde girlfriend Erin. Ben was our hunting guy and cook. He had dreams of going to culinary school and learning more about gourmet. He also has a lot of experience with hunting and he sometimes brings fresh meat to the table.
Erin was the only girl in the group which made all of us jealous of Ben. She tends to be very motherly towards us as in being bossy. I guess being surrounded by boys must make her want to have some type of dominance. Sometimes she complains about our "messed up lifestyles" and always wishes for another girl to join our team. I can relate to the latter.
Our black guy, Alex, was sitting in another chair and was holding a handgun. Alex was our best gun slinger. His aim and accuracy left us all breathless. That skill of his has gotten us out of some tough situations. He always kept a gun by his side, he says it makes him feel more comfortable.
The two people sitting on the couch were my 15 year old brother Andrew and my 9 year old brother Logan who had fallen asleep and was resting his head on Andrew's shoulder.
Seeing my friend's faces reminded me of the good old days. We all met back in middle school except for Erin, who we met in high school. Matt and JP were some of the first people Jonathan and I met during 6th grade. We instantly became friends. We were like a group of main characters in a sitcom show. A while later, we met Ben and Alex who joined our circle of social interaction. Once high school started, I met Erin who I introduced to the gang. It took him till junior year for Ben to ask her out and here they are now, still in love when the world has gone to hell. We all had good times, got in trouble a lot, got physically hurt a lot, but they were great memories I would never give up.
My brother Andrew and I were the only bronies in the group. We used to have a sibling rivaly between us but as we grew up, it went away, especially when we started to watch Friendship is Magic. I discovered it when season 2 was out and then showed it to Andrew. We both fell in love with it. We became closer the more we watched it. We tried to introduce it to Logan but he didn't like it.
"Hey Trent." they all said one after the other.
"Did you guys get anything good?" Alex questioned.
"Just some food and water."
"Zombie problems?" asked Ben.
"Yeah. We ran into a group of them but we killed 'em all."
"Nice." he responded.
After wondering how long my littlest brother had been asleep, I addressed the subject to Andrew.
"Hey, how long has Logan been asleep?"
"Oh, he fell asleep about an hour ago." He responded
"He had a pretty hard day." Erin said. "I don't blame him."
"And you didn't bother to take him upstairs?" I asked.
"He looks so peaceful. I didn't wanna wake him." Andrew said.
"You lazy piece of shit." Alex said jokingly.
"Here, I got him." I said.
I picked Logan up ever so gently to avoid awaking him. Holding my youngest brother in my arms, I took him to his room upstairs. As I went up the flight of stairs with Logan in my arms, I couldn't stop worrying about him. I wondered what this apocalypse has done to him, to his innocence, to his childhood. We lost our parents, everyone in the group did, and how did that effect him? I thought about it everyday.
When I got to his room I put him in bed and tucked him in. I was just about to leave when I heard his voice in a very tired and sleepy tone.
"Trent? Is that you?"
Crap, I woke him.
"Yeah buddy, it's me."
"How was getting food?" he asked
"It went good. We found some zombies but we killed 'em all."
"Okay. I was scared that they got you."
"Well aren't you glad they didn't?"
"Yeah."
I walked over to him and patted his head to comfort him.
"Now I want you to get some rest okay? We gotta keep our strength up to fight off all the zombies."
"Okay. Good night Trent."
"Good night bud."
I exited the room and closed the door behind me. As I was walking down the stairs, I was approached by Andrew.
"Hey bro." he greeted.
"Oh hey Andrew."
"Quick question, are you planning on going scouting again tomorrow?"
"Yeah, sometime in the morning with JP. Why? You wanna come?"
I was against him going on scouting missions on a regular basis. We already lost our mom and dad, and he and Logan were the only family I had left. I didn't want to risk losing him.
He answered, "It's just, I don't get to go scouting as much as you guys do, and you may say it's because I'm younger, but I'm 15, I can handle it."
A part of me wanted to let him come with us but another part of me wanted him to stay. I understood his need and desire to go see the outside world and what dangers it held. He was always the adventurous type.
I let out a sigh and told him my decision.
"Alright you can come with us."
He responded with a "Yes!" filled with glee and happiness.
"But..." I continued.
"Oh here it comes." He said in an annoyed tone.
"You gotta get up early or we're leaving without you."
"That's it? No problem."
"Alright sounds good. Now let's get back to the group."
"Hells yeah!"
Author's Note
Well thanks for sticking with my story. Again, criticism or advice for my writing and my story is gladly appreciated.
Newcomers
I awoke from my slumber in the comfort of my bed. The bright, golden, morning sun light came into my room through the window. I remembered I had a scouting mission today. I grabbed my watch from my nightstand and checked the time.
"6:37." I said
I threw the covers off me and jumped out of bed. I was already dressed since I slept in my clothes. I had my Iron Maiden shirt on and a pair of blue jeans. I put on my Nike shoes and walked out the door and into the hallway.
The first bedroom door I approached was Logan's. Wanting to check on him, I opened his door ever so slightly. He was resting peacefully in his bed. He had a smile on his face; I could tell he was having a good dream. I closed the door and kept walking towards the stairs.
I descended to the main floor of the house. I entered the kitchen were I met JP, Andrew and Erin all at the table, eating bread and drinking water.
"Hey you." said Erin.
"S'up." I greeted back.
"Well you're up early." JP said.
"And you're not?" I responded. "Ah Andrew, I guess you really wanted to go."
"You bet your ass I do!" He said in an enthusiastic tone.
"But you need to eat something before you go out, Trent." Erin stated. There she goes again trying to be everyone's mom
"Alright." I said.
I grabed a bottle of water and two slices of bread. I sat down at the table and ate my breakfast.
"So you guys sleep okay?" I asked.
Everyone responded with a "yeah".
"Are the others still asleep?" I asked again.
"Yeah. We're the only ones up." JP answered.
"I tried waking up Ben but you know him, he can't get up early even in the apocalypse."
"So bro, is there anything specific we're gonna scout for?" Andrew asked.
"Not really." I responded. "Just the bare essentials: food, water, guns, ammo, medical supplies. You know. Why? Anything you wanna look for?"
"Not really, just wanted to make sure."
"Okay then."
After our little dialogue between Andrew and I, Erin and JP chimed in. We all had a little conversation. Talking about stuff we enjoyed before the world ended such as movies and TV shows.
It was about three minutes later when I finished my breakfast. I put on my gear and Andrew and JP did the same. I had an AK-47, a handgun, and my machete which I forgot to clean last night. Andrew took an M4 assult rifle and a machete of his own. JP went with a 12 guage and a baseball bat. Erin sayed good bye and tried to make sure that we'd come back alive.
We took the pickup truck. We put all our weapons in the backseats. I sat in the driver's seat, Andrew sat next to me in the passenger seat and JP sat behind us in the back seats with all our guns. I started the engine and drove out of the drive way and onto the road.
"So where to first?" JP asked.
"I was thinking about going to the pharmacy." I replied.
"I thought that was already cleared." Andrew said.
"Well we haven't really checked it. Who knows, there might be something. Besides, we running low on meds."
"Alright, sounds like a plan." JP said.
We drove slowly and catiously for a while. The streets were so vacent. Everywhere there were newspapers on the ground which read "GLOBAL CRISIS" and "DEADLY VIRUS COMES TO USA" and "UNDEAD IN AFRICA". We past so may abandoned cars, debris, dead bodies and of course zombies. We have already checked out most the cars in the area not to mention a lot of the stores and other buildings.
We kept driving until we heared what sounded like a girl screaming: "AHHHHH! HELP US!"
The three of us were all suprised.
"Was that a girl? That was a girl! We should help!" Andrew said.
"On it." I said.
I slammed my foot on the gas pedal and drove toward where the scream came from. Judging by how loud it was it couldn't be very far.
After making a few twists and turns I put my foot on the brake. The three of us saw the weirdest thing ever: six naked girls being attack by zombies.
"Holy shit! Are they naked?" JP asked.
I responded, "Obviously!"
Andrew, I could tell, was feeling a bit of uncertainty as he said, "What do we do? Should we help them?" To which I responded:
"Of couse! Grab your gun and shoot!"
Andrew, JP, and I grabbed all our gear and ran outside. I aimed my AK at a zombie's head and pulled the trigger. Rapid fire came out of the barrel and the zombie's brains came out the other way. I got him. Andrew and JP did the same. The girls kept screaming as we fired our weapons and zombies fell to the ground. I have to admit, I do enjoy killing these dead fucks.
After the last zombie fell we went up to the girls. I tried my best not to let them catch me trying to get a peek but their naked bodies were so tempting. But as I got a better look at them, they looked kind of familiar in wierd way. What was strange was their hair color. Five of them had the most ridiculous hair I've ever seen.
All six of them were terrified. They were breathing too fast, their bodies were covered in sweat, and one of them, with long pink hair, was even crying. JP walked closer.
"Are you girls ok?" he asked.
"GET AWAY FROM US!" one with rainbow colored hair yelled.
"Hey, were trying to help. And we just saved your lives." said Andrew in a pissed off tone.
"Well you didn't have to kill 'em!" A blonde one with a light brown stetson on said with a southern accent.
"Kill them? They were already dead." JP retorted.
"That doesn't even make sense!" The rainbow hair one yelled back.
"Rainbow Dash, Applejack, calm down!" the one with dark purple hair said.
The rainbow and blonde haired ones did eventually calm down and so did the rest of them.
"I'm sorry about them and thank you."
I almost couldn't believe what I just heard. I spoke up.
"Wait, what did you just call her?"
"Oh, well, I believe we should introduce ourselves." she said. "I'm Twilight Sparkle and this is Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Applejack, Fluttershy, and Pinkie Pie."
"Howdy." Applejack said in an uplifting tone.
"How do you do?" said Rarity in a fancy-like voice.
"Hey." said Rainbow Dash in a more mellow and pissed off tone.
"Umm...hello..." Fluttershy said in a very quiet voice.
Andrew and I turned our heads and faced each other. Our eyes were wide open along with our mouths. It was clear that we were both thinking the same thing.
JP just stood there wondering what the fuck is going on.
I couldn't be or maybe it could. Could they really be the Mane 6 from Friendship is Magic? Their voices match, their hair looks real, and their eye colors look exactly the same. So much stuff was going through my mind until one of them jumped up.
"HI I'M PINKIE PIE! THANKS FOR SAVING US FROM THOSE THINGS BACK THERE, THEY WERE REALLY SCARY. I TRIED GIGGLING AT THEM TO MAKE THEM GO AWAY BUT IT DIDN'T WORK AND THEN ONE OF THEM TRIED TO BITE ME BUT IT DIDN'T AND THEN I GOT REALLY SCARED AND THEN TWILIGHT CRIED FOR HELP AND THEN YOU GUYS SHOWED UP..." she kept going on until Twilight stopped her.
"Pinkie Pie, I think thats enough." she said.
"OH OKAY!"
"Thank you again so much for saving us. I'm sorry if we seemed a bit ungratefull but we were all just scared." Twilight said to us.
"Yeah. You fellers sure came in a lick of time. A'h thouht for sure we'd be goners." Applejack added.
"So what your names then?" Rarity asked.
JP responded, "Oh well, I'm JP and this is Trent and his younger brother Andrew."
Andrew and I just stared at them with shocked expressions on our faces. Finally, after an awkward moment of silence, I decided to talk things out with my brother.
"Excuse us for a minute please. I need to talk to my little brother for a moment." I said as I grabed Andrew and got in the car. Once we both got in I slamed the door and spoke up.
"What the actual hell is going on"?
Andrew responded, "Are you seriously thinking what I'm thinking?"
"That they're the Mane fucking 6?"
"Hells yeah."
"I can't believe it."
"What do we tell JP? What do we tell the others?"
"I guess we just try to convince them. I mean they have the hair, exact eye color, and the same voices."
"Well what if, and I'm just playing devil's advocate here, what if they're just crazy delusional fan girls?"
"Andrew, I seriously doubt that six mental patients were able to survive, for two months, in the zombie apocalypse while running around naked."
"Okay you got a point."
"Just don't breathe a word about the show to them. It might freak them out"
"But what about Pinkie Pie? She might know, considering...you know."
"I guess we'll just have to wait and see. We'll tell JP when we get back to the others."
"Alright."
We both got out of the truck and approached JP and the girls. I spoke up
"Sorry about that. Just had to go over something with my little brother."
"Oh quite alright, um, Trent, was it?" Rarity asked.
JP turned to us with a very concerned expression on his face. He spoke.
"Uh guys, you may wanna hear what these chicks have to say."
"What is it?" I asked as I looked towards them.
Twilight spoke, "Well like we told your friend, JP here, and you're probably gonna find this hard to believe but, we're actually..." she stoped mid sentance like I might find her crazy.
"Yes?" I said
"We're from a nother world."
"Really?" I said. I actually believed her.
"Yes. We're actually ponies from a land called Equestria. I'm an alicorn, Rarity is a unicorn, Rainbow and Fluttershy are pegasi, and Applejack and Pinkie Pie are Earth ponies."
"Wait, are they talking about that stupid girl's show you guys always wa..." JP said but was interupted by Andrew elbowing his arm.
"What did he say? Twilight asked.
"Nothing, he was thinking about something else. Don't worry about it."
"Ok, well, as I was saying: I was attempting an inter-dimensional spell I found in the Star Swril the Bearded archives. I tried testing it with my friends. We then found ourselves here, with these different bodies. The first thing we saw was a creature we've never seen before. It was walking weird and was moaning. I tried to communicate with it but it tried attacking me."
"Thats when I tried taking it down with my awsome flying tackle, but then I found out that my wings were gone." Rainbow Dash said.
"Yes and mine as well, along with my horn. After the creature tried to attack us we tried to run, but it's hard with two legs so I cried for help then more of them showed up and well you know the rest."
"So what were those things? And what are we anyway? And where are we?" asked Rainbow Dash.
"Well those thing were zombies. You guys are humans, as are we. And we're in America." I respond.
"Zombies? I thought they were just a campfire story." Twilight said.
"Yeah, they ain't real.... are they?" Applejack says.
"Oh I've heard so many, disgusting and uncooth things about these monsters! They simply couldn't be real!" Rarity added.
"Oh they are very much real. The entire world is over run with them." I said.
"That's...that's awful." Fluttershy said.
Suddenly JP jumped in to change the subject.
"Look, I can tell we're all enjoying this little chat but we're all sitting ducks if we don't get a move on." he said.
"He's right. You girls should come with us. We'll get you some clothes and explain more along the way." I respond.
"I suppose that would be best. What do you think girls?" Twilight asks.
"Yeah I guess I got nothing else better to do." Rainbow said with a smug tone. I could tell she wanted to look cool in front of us. Man can I read her like a book.
"I reckon' we'd have a better chance if we went with ya'll." Applejack said.
"Ohhh, will there be parties? I should throw you guys a Thanks-For-Saving-Us-From-Being-Eaten-By-Zombies party!" Pinkie Pie said. Everything is a party with her.
"Well I suppose I'll accompany you as well." Rarity said in her posh way of saying things.
"Umm...if they think it's best then I'll go too." Fluttershy said. Dammit she's so adorable.
"Great. Get in the trunk." I said
Just then, I realized that I had the chance to be in the trunk with six, naked, hot girls.
"Oh no I almost forgot, there's no room in the back seats. I have to sit with the girls." I said. Man I'm a bad actor. The way I said it might make JP and Andrew know what I'm thinking.
"What are you talking about? There's room for one mo..." Andrew stopped mid-sentance. He knew what I was thinking.
"Oh yeah you're right Trent. Actually, I let you sit in up front." He said.
"No Andrew, I insist. You sit up front."
It was clear that JP didn't care. He thought the girls were crazy anyway.
"Look, I'll give you half my stash of Doritios if you let me sit in the trunk with them." I whisper.
"Deal." He says.
"So where to?" JP asks.
"How about Walmart? We should really get them some clothes." I suggest.
"Sounds good." He says.
JP gets in the driver's seat and Andrew gets in the passanger seat. I helped each one of the girls get in the trunk. Rainbow Dash refused my help, saying "I can do it myself" but after failing to successfully climb in a couple times she finally accepted my offer.
Once all of them were seated in the trunk, they started to shiver. I can't blame them. They're naked, sitting on cold metal, but luckily it's summer so they should warm up quickly.
"So what is this thing?" Twilight asked me.
"It's called a car. It's how we get around." I answer.
"So it's a very common mode of transportation?" she askes again.
"Yeah you can say that."
JP started the car and we were off. Boy did I have a long story to tell them.
