The Fall of Equestria
Chapter 3 - The Death of Zealous
Previous ChapterNext ChapterWith the guards rushing out of the armory with swords, the beast swipes and crushes all of the militia holding the front gates. "Quickly, Quickly! the monster is loose and Killing as many soldiers as possible! we must stop it!"
"But sir, the beast has already made it half way! we can not hold for much longer!"
A horn blows in the castle, and the guards rush in with their swords in arms. "About bloody time soldiers, We need to stop that monster before it gets any further!"
Suddenly the monster rages crushing everypony that was in a ten feat radius. "Hurry Guards! Push it to the left!"
"Look out its swinging again!"
"NO! SOLDIER BEHIND YOU!"
Ten minutes later the gates to the throne room start to break as the monster has destroyed all the guards and militia that dared cross its path. "Twilight, We need to hurry! before its to late!"
"Listen, This beast will not stop for nothing.. its going to kill us all if we don't try to get out of here!"
"Hey Twilight, atleast thirty percent of us have wings? can't we just fly out with the citizens?"
"That's a good idea Zealous, though i dare not think of what might happen if we stay here, it's worth a shot! alright everypony, line up and have a pegasi slowly take you down!"
Around a hundred and twenty five unicorns and earth ponies line up ready to be taken down slowly. "Careful now, don't look down everypony, just take it easy and relax.."
"Look out! the beast is almost in!"
Half of the Pegasi rush over to the door to hold it for a little longer chance of survival, but then the ponies hear the door got silent and started hearing screaming coming from down below. "Whats going on?" as one of the princesses look down to see the monster is attacking the ponies who have been taken down. "By celestia, that monster is evil!"
"We can not just stand here and do nothing.. there are thirty unicorns and earth ponies still down there, Celestia, can't you give them some help? use your alicorn magic to harm that beast?"
"Im sorry, But after the few weeks i've become weak.. that's why i could not stop the monster before hand.. it's taken over.."
"That beast can't be stopped.. we're all going to die here aren't we?"
"Maybe, If we can not find out what that monsters weakness is.. no telling what might happen..."
Suddenly the screaming goes silent, and the ponies take a peek to see that everypony down there was being eaten alive. "Dear celestia, we can not even dare to escape.. that monster is a laughing stock.."
"Wait, Princesses, I'm willing to risk my life to save everypony here..."
"Zealous, Are you sure your ready for this? Don't you have a life you wish to live?"
"Celestia, I hate my life, but i will risk doing what is right for everypony here.."
"Alright, Good luck.. and make sure that you keep it from attacking us!"
"I'll do my best!"
After that Zealous rushes down past the doors running past the monster, having it chase after her in a distance. "Alright everypony, lets make a run for it.. I do not know where we're going to run to.. but It might be better than where we're."
Twenty minutes later as Zealous is running and the monster is following. "For honor, for glory, for the princesses, and for everypony!" she says to her self repeatedly as the monster follows behind. "You will not kill me monster, your to slow.. and you only depend on size."
"I Kill you little mare, your nothing to a monster like me. I could have spared you and went after the ponies that are still in canterlot."
"I dare you to go back their, we're already twenty minutes away... i bet everypony is already gone!"
"Haha, you want to bet that?"
"Come on, everypony knows that a beast like you can hardly think on its own."
Suddenly the beast jumps across zealous and heavily grasps her. "You know that everypony in this world will die, and they will all say your name in general, as for its all your doing, just because you dared to mock a beast like me." suddenly the grasp over Zealous starts to crush her.
"Go ahead, Why won't you just kill me now, and stop with the pain?"
"Because I want you to suffer for those you made me run away from, I could've had some fresh other ponies to eat.. but you dared to drag me away from them." Starts to smash Zealous more, then suddenly kills her and eats her. "You were nothing but a talkative pony.. now you are nothing but dead.." Gets up and starts to head back towards Canterlot.
"Alright everypony, now is a better time than never to go! before the monster returns!"
"But where did Zealous go? Did she distract the monster and get away from it? She's a pegasus right? Do you think she flew away in time before the monster killed her?"
"Young one, you have to many questions to ask.. I bet she made it away without any harms way. but we need to continue to head east.. she ran west."
"Sounds good sister, but what if the young one is right? what if she did not make it away? what if she.. is.. dead?"
"Calm down.. I bet she got away.. She said that she would meet us at the docks once she gets away from it.."
"Alright sister.. lets go.."
