My Little Zombies

The two hurried along to the outskirts of the Changeling Kingdom, where Chrysalis’ kingdom was visible in the distance. Chrysalis was on constant look out as she flew in the air while Twilight was still recovering from the sights of her closest friends trying to consume her. That and the fact that one of her deadliest enemies was helping her. It seemed just like yesterday that Chrysalis flew away from Starlight’s attempt to redeem her.

“I can see that you’re still having trouble accepting all this.” Twilight’s ears perked up. “I was too when an army of zomponies started heading towards my castle. Thankfully we were able to defend ourselves with the information that they were coming thanks to our agents.”

“Chrysalis… What happened here? H-how did things here get so… nightmarish? And most importantly... how many ponies are infected?”

The changeling let out a sigh. “It’s a long story but I suppose we have all the time until we reach my castle. To answer your third question, almost everyone.” Chrysalis could practically hear Twilight’s heart breaking.

“I’ve seen the ponies try to run and hide but eventually, they all got infected. I’ve personally gotten our top scientists to look for a cure. The answer has always been, there is no cure. As for your first question… It’s…. My fault.” Twilight stopped flying forwards and hovered it place, and Chrysalis stopped too when she noticed Twilight stopping. “Like I said, it’s a long story. But trust me, I never intended something like this to happen. Come on, we’ve got to get a move on.” If Twilight wasn't doubtful to begin with she sure was now, however, Twilight didn't have much of a choice but to continue.

Soon, the two reached the castle. The place was heavily guarded, with changelings guarding every corner of the castle. “We’re thankful that we have my throne here. It soaks up magic so that only changeling magic works. Unfortunately that means that your magic will be useless as well.” Twilight’s face showed visible doubts but at the same time, Twilight knew how it would work in their favor. The two landed outside of the castle while two changelings stared and hissed at Twilight all while in their battle stand. “Stand down,” Chrysalis ordered. “This one isn't infected.”

The two changelings immediately stood aside for the two royalty to get in. Once inside, Twilight wasn’t surprised to see the randomly generated maze that is the Changelings’ home that she briefly saw back in her universe. However, what she surprised of, was the little amount of changelings she saw. It didn’t take a lot to infer that a lot of changelings too has perished in this place. Chrysalis walked forward, and gestured to Twilight to follow her.

Eventually, the two reached Chrysalis’ throne room and finally had a chance to rest. A changeling with slightly different wings soon came into the room. “Thorax?”

Meanwhile, back at Twilight’s castle, five ponies where looking around Twilight’s room for any clues as to where Twilight had gone to. Fluttershy was looking at the blackboard and read some parts of it.

“Let's see... there is an equation for teleportation to… Oh no.” Her eyes widened as she read the final equation.

“Girls, I-I think I found out where Twilight gone to…” The four mares crowded around Fluttershy to look at the board.

“Does that spell does what I think it does?” Rarity asked.

“Sugarcube, you’re the unicorn here. If anyone should know, it’s you.” Applejack replied. “Now what does it do?”

“It’s a teleportation spell. But it leads to other universes, I think.” Rainbow Dash explained.

“Oh, I see- wait a minute. How does everyone here except me know what this spell does?” Applejack questioned.

“I don't!” Pinkie blurted. “Well, that is until Dashie said it just now.”

“Alright, then how does Fluttershy and Dash knows? I mean, Rarity knows because she’s a unicorn but you two are pegasi!”

“Oh, uh, it was taught in Cloudsdale schools…” Fluttershy explained. Applejack stared at Fluttershy.

“Now, why does flight schools teach about magic?”

“Heck if I know but It’s pretty awesome though. It’s partly the reason why I didn't dropped out of flight school.” Rainbow Dash said.

“Well, fair enough.” Applejack now looked at Rarity. “Do you think you’re able to teleport all of us to where Twilight went?”

“Now, darling, wait just a minute. Twilight might just be testing out a new spell, and us going would just interrupt her. If she needed us, I’m sure she would have asked us to go along.”

“But what if Twilight is in danger? Now, I don’t know all that much about this universe thingy, but it certainly sounds like Twilight could be danger. I say we go.” Applejack argued.

“I’m with AJ.” If there’s any chance that Twi could be in danger in a foreign place, I’m going.” Rainbow said.

“I-I don’t know. Rarity might be right.” Fluttershy said. With two on each side, the four looked at Pinkie.

“Hm, to go or not to go… Of course I will! I’ll definitely meet some new pals there!” Pinkie grabbed her party cannon from nowhere and launched it, spreading confetti everywhere.

Rarity sighed. “Alright, so it is decided. My magic isn’t as good as Twilight’s but I think it’ll be enough. Hang on tight, everypony.” The white unicorn’s horn started to lit up as the group instinctively shut their eyes. In a flash of light, the whole group disappeared.

Applejack opened her eyes to see an horrible sight. She was surrounded by oranges! She fainted.
