-115-

and everyone dies, and
everyone lies,
They're waiting for the second coming again,

Everyone tries to hold onto their lives,
When no one's alive,

Bring me 115

"No Twilight, you are not leaving without me! Remember what I said when we started dating." Both ponies said the same line like an echo: "No matter where you go, what you do and suffer, I will always be there for you."

"I don't want to lose you again, not...n..not again." Twilight felt a hoof pull her chin up.

"You never lost me last time, you lost yourself. The only thing you needed was a sign that it was all worth it, and do you remember what I said that time?"

"I don't think you said anything." Twilight was looking deep into Rainbow's eyes for the answers. Instead of finding it in her eyes, she found them on her lips. Dash pulled the other mare into a kiss, one that was strong. It wasn't long until they pulled apart, still wanting more. "Oh...that's what you said." Twilight gave a sheepish smile. "Nothing can best a pony that is so awesome."

"Kiss ass."

"Shut it, Spike!" Rainbow sneered.

Twilight blushed at the remark, and thought of a way to mess with the dragon. "Maybe I like to kiss ass." Rainbow knew almost instantly that it was a joke and laughed. The same wasn't for Spike who ran out of the library with a "Please don't visit if you say that again!"

"Rainbow, it burns, it burns bad." Twilight lay on the ground holding her horn after using her magic to its full potential.

"Come on, we'll save Rarity and Flutter, but don't leave my side." Rainbow helped the unicorn up.

"Trust me, I'm not going far. I believe they stayed in the old cabin over there!" Twilight pointed a hoof in the direction.
She wasn't wrong. On arrival of the cabin they found the two mares, one of kindness, and the other of generosity.

"Who, who are you!" Rarity couldn't recognize Rainbow or Twilight as the suits they wore hid their faces and color.

"Rarity, come with us, we..."

The time was flying by, or was that because they where flying in the air? Twilight was on Dash's back, hugging around the pegasus's neck. They had left soon after Spike ran off from the library.

The air was light, and made it hard to breath.

Getting there, let alone halfway, was a real strain for Rainbow's wings. She was used to taking Twilight out into fields and flying, but never for three hours straight. Three more hours is what Twilight guessed, but wasn't sure. "So, why did you start reading all of that stuff?" Rainbows voice made Twilight hold on tighter.

"Well, I...I was just wondering what the place was like." She lied, the truth was she was only days from taking Rainbow to the island; if it was worth it. There was another reason for wanting to take her there, but she wasn't ready to admit it.

"If you say so. Some times you make me wonder. That is why I love you so much." Rainbow looked back over her shoulder at the purple unicorn.

"Yea, well that's why I make you wonder. When you wonder about something, you get a look on your face that is just too cute." Twilight blushed, laying her head against Rainbow's back.

"Don't try and make me blush, Twilight." The two of them laughed, which was drowned out by a light snore. Jeez Twilight, did you study THAT much about this...115?

Chilling air and rolling breezes kept waking the sleeping unicorn. She looked on as the island drew closer and closer. Something about the island made it look beautiful. She wasn't sure if it was the trees, mountain in the middle, or large amounts of vegetation. This didn't stop her from remembering how dangerous the island is.

"So Twilight, what is the actual name of this oh-so-dangerous island?" Rainbow startled the unicorn causing her to almost lose her grip.

"Oh, um, I never was told the name, but was often called Shi No Numa for some reason." Twilight regained her grip, slightly choking Rainbow.

"That is a very weird name for an island. I just hope things go over smoothly." There was a sign of concern on the pegasus.

"When did you become so worried about an island?"

"The fact that our friends are in danger, Twilight, why else?"

"Yea, your right about that."

You stand for nothing, and
overlooked something,
I'll bring you down all on my own,

I'm the end, I can taste it,
I'll justify hatred,
I am the chosen one,

left hand of all that's sacred..

Sand surrounded the island, creating what seemed to be a rippling effect that carried above the ground. Years of waves and tides have noticeably started to decay the dirt. Most of the vegetation was a dark green, and had no other color affiliated with it other than the random rose patch. At the center the island had a steep incline that made what looked like a mountain with a flat top. Some places below the mountain where small ponds of water, that miniature waterfalls poured into.

About a mile into the island there was a small circle of buildings that looked to be cabins. In the middle was what looked like a barn; paths leading from it towards the outlaying cabins. "Rainbow, take us down here, this clearing would make a clean landing."

Rainbow pulled a hoof to her head in salute, "Yes, sir!" After a light landing, the duo looked around, hoping to not find any trace of these so called "zombies". All seemed clear for travel, and they headed toward the buildings.
