Resident Evil Equestria: The Mansion Chronicles
Chapter 1: Sweetie Belle
Previous ChapterNext ChapterOut of the seventeen members of Delta Team, There are only 12 of us left, Applebloom, Babs Seed, Captain Frost Wing, Winter Hero, Silver Stream, Steel Bronco, Colt Twister, Jade Blossom, Crystal Daisy, myself and the Snow Brothers. We don't where Scootaloo is.
[Applebloom] Whew....That was a close one
[Babs Seed] You said it cuz...Wow...This place is huge!!!
[Frost Wing] Not your ordinary mansion, that's for sure.
[Winter Hero] Hey, wait a minute...Where's Scootaloo?
"No....not Scoot"
Amusing the worse, I ran towards the front door, only for Frost Wing to stop me by merely blocking my path.
"Captain, I'm going back for Scootaloo, don't try and stop me!
[Frost Wing] Trust me, Sweetie Belle. You don't want to go out there.
[Applebloom] But, Cap, Scoot's...
Before our argument got heated, a shot rang out. Based on the sound, I could tell that a pistol was fired. Everyone stood quietly for at least ten seconds before coming to their senses. We all knew that one of us have to investigate, but then again, I managed to get everypony's attention by telling them that we should split the team into groups of two. Without hesitation, they all agreed.
[Winter Hero] Alright listen up, Babs Seed, Daisy, Applebloom, Belle, and Twister, you're with me. The rest of you stay with Captain Frost Wing. If anything turns up, meet up back in this main hall. Understood?
[Frost Wing] You heard the stallion, move out!!
[All] YES, SIR!!!
Being a group was a lot better than being alone. This mansion was already starting to give me the creeps. We entered the dining hall to conduct our investigation. The hall was dark and majestic at the same time; I couldn't even if it was scary or beautiful, and I'm pretty sure Rarity would faint after only two seconds. Then something caught Applebloom's eye. It was some kind of puddle near the fireplace.
"What is it?"
[Applebloom] Looks like blood to me. Ugh...smells like it too. And it's still warm. Y'all keep lookin' for clues, Ah'm gonna examine this. Just hope it ain't Scoot's blood.
The sight of that puddle of blood almost made me faint, but I had to pull myself and focus on the mission at hand. A trace of blood lead me a door on the north side of the dining hall. With caution, I followed the small droplets of blood, and into a long hallway. This place was definitely big, and we would have plenty of time to investigate. I hope the residents living here and our teammates are okay. I continued to follow the blood trail down the hallway to the left, and into a small sitting area. As I trotted carefully towards a corner into the sitting area, I heard a disgusting munching noise, as if somepony were munching on a pound of raw meat. When I turned the corner, I saw a pony sitting down, eating something I couldn't quite make out lying on the ground. I was about to speak up as it ripped violently upwards, accompanied by a loud ripping noise, and a fountain of blood raining out of whatever it had just ripped. The sight was beyond horrifying; It was Star Vision, our comms expert. somepony was eating him, part of his throat had been torn apart, his ribcage had been ripped out, exposing his lungs. The worst part was that Star Vision was still alive during the process. The pony stopped and turned towards me; he was some kind of cannibal with no lips, rotten flesh, milky white eyes, and constant moaning. I couldn't move; every part of my body told to run, but I couldn't move. I finally came to my senses and ran screaming back to the others.
[Babs Seed] Sweetie Belle, what's wrong?
"Look out, It's a monster!!!!"
Everyone turned their attention to the cannibal pony. Colt Twister attempted to arrest him, only the cannibal to leap at him and bit him, taking a massive chunk out of his arm. Twister screamed in agonizing pain as Winter Hero shot the cannibal in the chest. But, to everypony's surprise, it didn't collapse, it just kept going forward.
[Winter Hero] What the hell?! That was a clean hit and it's not down.
Winter Hero fired two more rounds, and the cannibal took those like it was nothing.
[Colt Twister] What are waiting for?!!! KILL THAT FUCKING THING ALREADY!!!!!
[Winter Hero] I'm trying!!!
Winter Hero fired, and the cannibal took three bullets. Frustrated, Winter puts a bullet in the cannibal in the head, finally killing it. During the ordeal, I manage to patch up Twister's bite wound. The wound looked ghastly and it sank through exposing the bone. I covered it up after sterilized the wound so I wouldn't puke.
[Winter Hero] What was that? What in the actual fuck was that?
"I don't know, but Star Vision was still alive when this thing was eating him.....Oh no, VISION!!!"
I went back to check on Star Vision with everyone else following. But it was too late; he was gone. I couldn't believe what just happen. Zombies and monsters?! We weren't trained to handle this type of situation. First Sky Metal, then Scootaloo and now Star Vision. Winter Hero comforted me as I wept for my fallen comrade.
[Colt Twister] Now what?
[Winter Hero] Let's report this to Frost Wing.
***
By the time we got back towards the main hall, no pony was there except Dark Snow. The mansion seemed quiet, almost too quiet.
[Applebloom] Hello.....Jade Blossom...Frost Wing....Emerald Shine.....any pony around?
[Crystal Daisy] Dark Snow, where's the captain and the rest?
[Dark Snow] Frost Wing told me to stay here while the rest of the team went to further investigate the mansion. He gave me a direct order not to leave the main hall until you guys came back and follow you guys. When I heard the gunshots, I panicked, thought something happened. Holy Shit, Colt Twister!! what happen to your arm?!
[Colt Twister] Some crazy cannibal pony bit me, ripped a chunk out of it. The worst part was that Sweetie Belle saw that thing eating Star Vision. Get this, Belle thinks it was some kind of zombie.
[Dark Snow] Zombie?
[Colt Twister] Yeah, but I don't buy it. Zombies?! It was probably some crazy cannibal. I'm sure I'll be fine.
Right after that, Twister started coughing blood. We were expecting him to joke around, tell us that he was fine. But, Colt Twister looked concerned and confused. How long can he hold up before he turns? We were all afraid of what would happen to him, but then he told not to worry and that he'll fight it out.
[Dark Snow] Sweetie Belle, can I talk to you for one second?
"Sure thing."
[Dark Snow] Listen, if this whole "zombie thing" is true, I want you to keep an eye on Colt Twister. If his condition gets worse and he does turn, do not hesitate. You put a bullet in his head, got that?
I wasn't sure if I want to do it, but with a reassuring nod, I agreed to be one to put down Colt Twister.
[Winter Hero] Alright, listen up. The only way we're getting out of this situation is that we stick together. Find any intel about this mansion and these zombies. Sweetie Belle, take this lock pick, you're an expert with this. First things first, Let's find a map of this mansion so that we don't get lost. Alright everypony, move out.
"Roger that! "
With that said, We continued our investigation together inside the mansion, ready to face the horrors that this place had in store...
