The Apocalypse
Chapter 2
Previous ChapterNext ChapterThe next day Twilight got up and saw that her friends were already getting ready to move out. They had packed up all their supplies and had stuff by the door to take as well. Twilight got prepared and they all headed out. Pinkie Pie scoped the landscape as they had to make sure nothing would attack them.
Rarity was in the back. Rainbow Dash was looking over a map and leading them while Fluttershy was walking while looking around uneasily. They continued this path. Twilight hoped that they had enough food to get them through days and nights so that they wouldn't starve.
Twilight had realized that yesterday everything was perfect and peaceful but when she woke up she had discovered that war had taken over Equestria. As they walked somebody fired at them. They all ducked for cover and Rainbow Dash fired back. Twilight screamed and ducked as well.
She heard the fire fight go on. She wondered how the hell did these mercenaries overthrow Equestria. She felt bad about this war because they were all that were left. It was not looking good. Soon the mercenaries were killed and they continued on to a new shelter.
"Is everybody okay?" Rainbow Dash asked. They all nodded. Twilight was shaking. She hoped that they would be able to save Equestria from what was happening but the way her friends had spoken to her she wouldn't be surprised if this would be their permanent lives.
Rainbow Dash unfolded the map and pointed out where they all needed to go first. Rainbow Dash spoke.
"This is where we want to head to first. It's the hospital There's probably medical supplies, food, water anything that we can get our hands on is good. We need to go there and get anything we can." She said. They all nodded and they all started to head on over to the hospital. Then they were ambushed.
"Contact!" Rarity screamed. They all ducked for cover and fought the mercenaries. An explosion happened behind them so they moved out of the way. Twilight hid with Fluttershy. They both closed their eyes to what was happening. A launcher flew a small bomb torwards them so they got out of the way and defeated the remaining mercenaries.
Fluttershy whimpered in pain and her friends saw that she was hurt. Pinkie Pie went over to her and treated her injury. They all continued on as they couldn't wait to get to where hey we're going.
"Just how much longer is this place?" Twilight said as she groaned. Rainbow Dash looked at the map and spoke to Twilight.
"A few miles so the sooner we continue the faster we will get there." Rainbow Dash spoke. Twilight decided to not ask anymore questions. They didn't want to run into anymore mercenaries so they walked through alleyways in order to avoid anymore contacts with the soldiers that day.
Where are the elements though? I can't wrap my head around them being destroyed!" Twilight asked. Her friends winced. They tried to tell her as carefully as they could.
"The elements have been destroyed by some sort of radiation. We don't know what the radiation is but we know they are using." Rainbow Dash remarked. She shrugged her shoulders. Twilight shook her head sadly. She couldn't believe it.
They all continued walking through an area that looked like the Everfree Forest. Twilight whimpered. They all whipped out flashlights and looked around as they tried to find their way through the the forest. Twilight started to hyperventilate but tried to calm herself.
They then heard something coming. They saw an airplane. It started to shoot at them. They fired back but it was no use. They looked to another direction and headed torwards it.
"Evasive maneuvers!" Pinkie shouted. Missiles were fired near them but missed them completely. They ran as fast as they could. Twilight was running out of breath. They need to get someplace safe.
Soon they made it out. Pinkie Pie threw a hand grenade and it blew up one of the planes propellers. It crashed causing a huge explosion. They all panted as they were put of breath and continued on.
"It's not safe here. We need to get to shelter immediately. Somewhere on that map is a place were we can rest but I'm not sure for certain." Twilight said.
"We will get there. I promise." Applejack said. Since Applejack was so honest they believed her words. They held onto her words with hope they would make it. Soon a bullet grazed Twilights leg. Rainbow Dash fired into the darkness. They helped Twilight up. Twilight was so exhausted she fell asleep. She was lucky that Applejack was strong enough to carry her.
They soon made it to a cave. They set down their stuff and worked on healing Twilights leg. When they fixed her leg they waited for her to wake up. When she woke up she saw that her leg had been fixed up.
"Are we someplace safe. No mercenary will find us right?" Twilight asked. Applejack shook her head.
"No Sugarcube. If it makes you feel any better all of us will take turns scouting but you won't have to." Applejack said. Twilight nodded at her as she appreciated their offer to let her sleep and fell asleep. They all took turns guarding the place for the night so they could each get a good amount of sleep. They knew that they couldn't make to much noise or they would be heard.
They next day they got up and woke everybody up. They needed to get out of the forest. When they did get out of the forest they saw that the grass had grown tall and that there were wrecked buildings and fires going on. They all went through the place quietly so they wouldn't attract anymore attention.
They soon saw a hospital. They were all shocked they rushed towards it. Inside they went through all that they could find for supplies such as hidden food or medical supplies. Twilight found butterfly needles and bandages. She grabbed them all without thinking.
Rarity proceeded to raid the cabinet for medicine and found a few bottles of pain pills. They all searched the entire room and then when they finished looking for as much supplies as they could. After that they headed out of the hospital and went to the nearest abandoned barracks and found ammo which they collected.
Then all of a sudden mercenaries ambushed them. They all shrieked and ducked for cover and then they started to mow them down. They needed to survive for the good of Equestria. They hid behind ammo cases and fired back. Twilight hid from them as she was probably an important target.
When they were done they continued on searching for something to give them hope but if they didn't find that then they would continue to fight anyway. They searched through a field in the back of the hospital and found an old bunker their they went in for the night as they would continue in the morning at dawn. They unpacked and ate and then rested until tomorrow.
