The Walking Displaced: Season 1
Episode 2 - A House Devided
Previous ChapterNext ChapterIt was mostly quiet in the humid car. All of the windows that could be rolled down, were, and the kids in the back of the car stuck their heads outside, letting their hair blow in the breeze.
Lightning Dust pulled out a walkie talkie as she drove home. “We’re done, Trixie. You can lure them back now.” She said, but only static answered her. “Trixie, respond…” Nothing.“Damn… Must be out of range, or Dumbbell changed the frequency again, Trixie’s not the type to take chances.” Lightning stated. “They probably got home before those Walkers ambushed us. Probably why they were even there.”“They could have been stragglers?” Surprise suggested with a shrug. “For all we know Trixie is still running the Walkers around in circles.”“You suggesting we get close to a horde? If they got too far out of range, it’s their fault and I’m not saving their asses.” Lightning replied.“I wasn’t suggesting we go after her sorry ass. Just that she could still be moving them around.” Surprise responded defensively.“Alright. We’re almost home.” Lightning Dust said, handing her pistol and pipe to Clementine. “Mind putting those in the bag, please?”Clementine silently took them and put them in one of the bags.Lightning leaned towards Surprise. “If you teach Clementine that talking to people like you do is okay and I can’t teach her otherwise, I’ll shoot you.”“Clementine can talk however she wants. I won’t force anything upon her.” Surprise whispered throwing her arms up in the air defensively, “unlike some people I know.”Lightning rolled her eyes, before her eyes widened. “Holy shit, smoke!” Lightning Dust pointed towards a pillar of smoke that came from their settlement. “No… No, no, no!”“That can’t be good.” Surprise said getting out of the car with her bag in hand. “I’ll meet you there.” she then tied her bag to her waist and took to the sky flying straight for the settlement.“Bitch.” Lightning Dust growled, looking at how Surprise flew. “Alright, Clementine hand Rumble and I guns.”Clementine nodded, before pulling out an AK-47 rifle and a double barreled shotgun. She handed the first to Rumble, and the second to Lightning.“Thanks baby, now stay here.” Lightning demanded.“But-!” Clementine began to protest, however Lightning’s glare stopped her.“No buts, I want you to go and hide in that there recycling bin.” Lightning Dust pointed to a plastic blue can on the opposite side of the car where the smoke was coming from.“But I can help!” Clementine shouted. “You never let me do anything-!”“I can’t lose you too!” Lightning shouted, which silenced Clementine. Lightning Dust stayed still for a moment, then got out of the car. “Come on, Rumble! Let’s go!”Rumble was stunned, but followed orders. Once they were out, Thunderlane and Fluttershy greeted them.“Come on, they might need our help!” Fluttershy said, holding a hunting rifle close to her chest, while Thunderlane held a revolver. Lightning only nodded in response, and the four of them ran to the gates, only to realize that a jeep had driven through it and broke it. They ran inside, only to stop dead in their tracks.In front of them, was a line of fifteen people they knew, holding up rifles and pistols aimed at them. And at the head was the a woman with white hair, yellow eyes, and yellow lipstick. She wore a biker jacket and boots, as well as jeans.“Hey knuckleheads. Took you long enough.” She said coldly.“Gilda…” Lightning Dust growled. “After everything Lee did you you! For us!”“Yeah, what Lee did. You know as well as I do that he was the best thing that happened to this place, but I don’t like the current management!” Gilda said, pacing back and forward. “Drop your guns or my guy’s will drop you, and before you ask, yes we caught the newbie airhead. Trixie!”A pale haired woman with purple eyes walked into the line of sire with Surprise, a gun pointed at the back of her head.“Drop… Your guns... Shithead.” Gilda said in a low tone. Lightning Dust stared at Gilda, then Surprise, and knelt down.She placed her shotgun on the ground while one of the traitors walked over and picked it up. After a bit, Fluttershy followed, and so did Thunderlane and Rumble.“There, ya see? I knew you were reasonable.” Gilda said. “Stay kneeled, would you? Dumbbell, bring out our *former* leader!”Dumbbell came out from behind a building with a bruised and beaten dark skinned woman with white and black striped hair. She was wearing african style sashes and a brown cloak. “Gilda my dear, how could you do something this drear?” she asked“Cause I want it all! I was Lee’s right hand, and you came in and took over! So the way I see it, taking you out and anyone who’s with you, while taking your shit will help me survive. That’s life, bitch.”“I stepped up to prevent us from falling to doom, I knew you would only bring us gloom.” replied the woman.Gilda growled. “Stop rhyming, you’re pissing me off… Now where was I?” She tapped her chin in thought. “Right! I was about to say why I’m not killing you fucktards. The answer is simple, I’d rather not waste you. I like you in particular, Lightning. Determined to get everyone through the day, and leave no man, woman, or child is unfed. If I was a better woman, I’d say that you deserved to be in charge!”
Lightning snarled. “Your point?”
Gilda chuckled, waving her gun back and forward. “The point is that I like you people! You're still my people, even if you’re all idiots. Plus I’d rather not waste seven bullets. So, I’m going to have to give you an incentive as to not try to follow me-”“What are you going to do? Shoot Zecora dead, and drag one of us off with you to stop the rest from following you?” Surprise said struggling against her captor. “Real original.” “Nice idea, whore. Honestly though, she’s not worth a bullet.” Gilda said, before pulling out a combat knife. She grabbed Zecora by the hair, yanked her close, and dragged the blade across her neck. Blood spewed out of the opening and some out of her mouth. “No!!!” Fluttershy screamed, before Thunderlane began running towards Gilda. But just before he took his fifth step, Trixie aimed and his chest and took a shot, landing a bullet in his chest. That only caused Fluttershy to scream more, before collapsing where she knelt. But Gilda stood where she was, smirking as she stared Lightning Dust in her eye. “Let this be a lesson. Don’t screw with me and my people… Tell Joe that when he gets back, m’kay?” Gilda said, before she turned to her men. “Alright boys, go find the doc! We’re taking her with us!” Five of the traitors turned around themselves and ran off to find the ‘doc’, which only caused Lightning Dust to shake in pure rage. “I’ll kill you…” Lightning snarled, glaring at the ground. “What was that!?” Gilda shouted. A moment went by, and Lightning didn’t respond. “Thought so!” Surprise had fallen to her knees and just stared at Zecora’s body. Her normally curly hair was a little flatter as she muttered, “She… she really did it.” “Damn straight I did it! I’ve killed lots of people!” Gilda announced. “I’ve even killed strays like you that Zecora let in! But I’ll let you live since I bet LD needs some man power… Since I’ve taken that away.” She gestured to her men, then Thunderlane who was bleeding out on the ground.Surprise looked at Gilda for a moment before turning to look at Lighting Dust and mouthing *“I’m sorry.”* the golden haired woman then started to stand back up, a glint of anger within her eyes. One of the traitors came out from a house, dragging an unconscious woman with pink hair and wearing nurse clothes. “Wonderful doing business with ya, LD.” Gilda said, before walking over and giving the blonde a right hook so hard that Lightning Dust was knocked out. “I’ll kill you myself!” Surprise shouts as she flew across the yard toward Gilda fist drawn back. Gilda then turned on her heels and slammed Surprise to the ground with her left palm, with enough force to make her unconscious as well. “You gonna try something too, pussy?” Gilda asked Fluttershy, who whimpered in response. “Thought so… Let’s roll out, jackasses!” Her men laughed mildly as they walked out, leaving the vulnerable settlement behind, grinning sinisterly.
“... -p… Wake-... -ake up! Wake up Surprise!” Surprise’s eyes opened to see the familiar face of a chubby man with light brown, short hair, vibrant green eyes, and darkly tanned skin. He wore a white stained T-shirt with black shorts. “Are you alright!?” “Joe… Could you please rut me until my lower body feels sorer than my head?” Surprise asked as she slowly sat up and held a hand to her forehead. “Yep, she’s alright.” Joe said with a sigh. “I could still use being fucked though.” Surprise responds as she looks around to take in the room. “Gilda killed Zecora, took our guns except the ones that my group had, and left with more that half of our supplies… And you want sex…” Donut Joe said, before rubbing his face. “Figures that takes your priorities.” “You have to admit the thought has crossed your mind once or twice Donut Joe.” Surprise muttered quickly, “How are Lightning and Clementine?” “Lightning’s jaw was dislocated and she’s sore, but thankfully Clementine was hiding in a recycling bin outside of the settlement before Gilda took your car.” Joe said, sitting down in a chair next to Surprise’s bed. “Well fuck, I should have left that explosive in the van.” Surprise muttered softly, “It would have gone off about now if I didn’t set it off earlier.”“Hindsight doesn’t matter now. What does is that we lost the bulk of our security and supplies, as well as the second in command as *their* leader. And we lost our doctor, Redheart.” Joe explained. “Well Joe, it sounds like you’re trying to eat a clock,” Surprise states with a smile, “Seeing everything as time consuming. I suggest we start by getting Redheart back, Clem really needs a doctor that knows her.” “Why, is she hurt? Besides, we can’t all just abandon this place, there are still people.” Donut Joe said. “I don’t think so much physically as mentally.” Surprise stated with a chuckle. “I did quite a number on her mind in the van a while ago.” “She’d need a psychiatrist, not a doctor.” Joe deadpanned. “She would still need a doctor for the future, as do we all…” Lightning Dust said, walking into the room. Her face had a bruise on her right side. “We’ll be getting Redheart back, and kill those sons of bitches.” “Permission to defenestrate Trixie when we find them?” Surprise asked “Granted, as long as she’s unwilling.” Lightning replied. “Joe, you stay here and hold down the fort. Surprise, Rumble, and Clementine will come with me.” “It’s a suicide mission.” Donut Joe said, “And you’re bringing Clementine!?” “I have an idea. I heard a rumor that there’s a place in Ponyville where there’s an RPG somewhere. I think the military were quarantining the area, it was the unit Surprise was from before the outbreak.” Lightning Dust said coldly. “The Wonderbolts disbanded.” Surprise said as she got over and moved over to the wall and started to feel around the wall. “After the outbreak, obviously. But their base is still there, and any weapons there we can use are of importance. That place was Ponyville’s last stand against the Walkers, and even though it fell they saved a lot of lives. Maybe they can help us kill some.” “Well we definitely got nothing better to do.” Surprise then hooked her fingers into a knot and pulled the planks aside revealing her wing blades, “Let’s go.” she stated as she began to put them on. “I hate those things, they make my wing itchy.” Lightning complained. “You guys are doomed…” Donut Joe sighed. “Well I need to find a cock somewhere to ride since it’s obviously not here.” Surprise chuckled as she tightened the last buckle. She then blew a kiss at Donut Joe, “Stay safe friend.” as she left the room. After a moment of silence, Lightning groaned. “I wanna defenestrate her…” “You find it inderine” Surprise called out from down the hall as she opened Clementine’s door, “You ready to head out and prove yourself to Lightning?” “Yeah.” Clementine nodded, determined. “Alright then,” Surprise then kneels down to the floor, removes a floor board and pulls out a set of sheathed twinblades, “Momma’s glad she hid you, yes she is.” she said to the swords as she worked on tying them to her hip. Clementine ignored Surprise as she hid her gun in the back of her pants and under her shirt. Surprise then left the room and headed for the supply room to stock up with a few of the little supplies they had. Within reason, since the ones they were leaving would need something to survive.
“Alright, we have two volunteers. Fluttershy, and Quibble Pants.” Lightning announced as she stood in front Fluttershy’s car, and their new car, a black with purple stripes, 1965 Chevy Impala. “Cool, let’s go. I got a list of people to defenestrate and a list of people to check availability.” Surprise chuckled as she moved toward the Impala, “And I’ve already checked everyone here.” “Alright. Fluttershy, Rumble and Clementine will be in Shy’s car, while Surprise, Quibble Pants and I’ll be in the new car Joe got us!” Lightning Dust announced. “Any questions!?” “Why isn’t Clementine with us?” Surprise questioned as she got in the passenger seat. “Because, if something happens to the front car, she’ll have a chance.” Lightning replied, getting in the driver's seat. “Can I change cars?” Quibble asked feebly, only to get a glare from Lightning. “Alright…” Once everyone was seated, Lightning Dust suddenly laughed. “Bet’cha don’t want his rod!” She remarked. “Sorry Quibs, but you don’t fit the bill to get my flirting.” Surprise told the man as se stretched out in her seat getting comfortable. Quibble Pants grumbled to himself, crossing his arms as Lightning started the car. And thus their journey began…
Fluttershy gasped as she jolted up, pain coursing through her body as she felt blood dripping from cuts. She looked to her legs and noticed that her car had crashed and was on fire, with nobody around. Except growls...
