This is the END
Better than being eaten
Load Full StoryNext ChapterTwilight was reading in her library when she first heard it
"ZOMBIES!" she heard the screaming down from the town and sighed
"What a stupid thing to cry wolf about, oh no zombies, evacuate the town, call the Princesses*Snort* yeah right, Zombies don't exist. fools" and with that, she went back to her book and continued her reading. Meanwhile downstairs, Spike hears the same scream and shivered
"well...I suppose I could grab my emergency pack, couldn't hurt....just in case, it's for real...Spike grabbed the large backpack Twilight had agreed to let him store in the kitchen, it was a bag meant for camping trips that had been stuffed with Spike's mandated survival gear, inside were several boxes of gram crackers, a couple can's of food, enough water to last 4 ponies about a week, a utility knife equipped with a can opener, an emergency medkit and a few other things in it. He had just strapped the emergency bag on when he heard a loud bang come from the front door, he managed to make it to the door just in time For Big Mac caring a bloody Sugar belle to break through the door with Trixie trailing a little behind him and slamming the door shut behind them.
"Whoa! What the hell! Are you ok!!" Spike asked the Bloody Sugar belle
"one...one of them bit me...why did you bring me....you know as well I do what happened after this"
"I...I couldn't just leave you"
"Talk later, Wheres Sparkle, we need to get the fuck out of Ponyville!" Trixie yelled grabbing Spike "Where is she, Trixie doesn't want to die this way" Spike looked at them then slowly moved to the nearest window and looked out to see what could only be described as a Hellscape, some of ponyville was on fire, and a large mass of hobbling forms with unnatural body movements where making headway towards the Castle. This was all Spike was able to take in before a Fist hit the window and broke threw attempting to get at him, Spike has pulled away from it thanks to a quick Spell from Trixie.
"Oh shit!" Spike yelled as he saw who the hand belonged to, Zecora was missing a chunk of her face and was attempting to break in, she reached in and made a spine chilling noise as she continued to breakthrough.
"Yeah, none of that thanks!" Spike said and with a huge breath Covered the entire window in fire and turned to Big Mac.
"It was nice to save her, but is she was bitten....you might want to put her down,"
"Don't...don't talk like that...I already had to put down Granny ....I...I can't do it again" before Trixie or Spike could say any more Sugar belle suddenly jerked up and Chomped down on Big Mac's neck and with a painful howl Big Mac's fell to the floor
"Now what," Trixie asked as she and Spike slowly backed away from Sugar belle as she began to eat Big Mac.
"WHERE GONNA RUN!!!" Spike said and with a quick turn, they both turned and ran through the nearest door, just as the front door burst open and more undead entered the room. some stopped and joined Sugar belle in her feast, but the rest began to chase after the duo.
"you're covered in scales, won't you be fine?" Trixie asked as the two ran down a hallway
"I don't feel like finding out!" Spike replied as they turned and ran up a flight of stairs, shoving a bookcase down the stairs once they got to the top. They got to the Library and ran in...only to find an empty room.
"Where's Sparkle!!!"
"I don't know!!! This is where she usually is at this time, she must have been called by Celestia or something!" Spike said as he picked up the book Twilight had been reading.
"Shit...and with Starlight visiting Sunburst in the Crystal Empire...."
"WE'RE GONNA DIE!!!" They both screamed hugging each other
"I don't want to die this way" Spike Screamed
"Me neither!!" Trixie cried. They could hear moans and groans echoing through the hallway, Trixie and Spike ran to the window and was met with the sight of Pegasuses zombies flying through the air. Spike turned to Trixie
"Can't you teleport!" Spike asked as the Pegasuses noticed them and began to try and break through the now cracking window.
"I've never been good at that, we could end up anywhere" she replied as she turned to go back through the door, but stopped when something started thumping on it and groaning.
"Anywhere is better than here!" Spike pointed out as the fleshes eaters started to break down the door and the Window broke
"yeah...Let's try it!" Trixie grabbed Spike and just as the door was broken down and the Pegasuses started coming in through the broken window Trixie and Spike were teleported away. in a flash and with a loud Splash, Spike and Trixie where knee-deep in a lake.
"I...I DID IT!!! WE'RE NOT DEAD!!!"
"Shush!" Spike hushed her "We don't know if we're safe, who knows what else is infected." as the two extracted themselves from the lake they took a look around. "Where the hell are we?"
"Look's like a forest"
"That doesn't help at all"
"Maybe we'll be safe here?" Trixie looked around, "at least we're not in immediate danger"
"Zecora lives in this forest, and I saw what was left of her...the markings on her face didn't look like something a pony could do..."
"So what your thinking is....ponies aren't the only things infected.." Trixie looked at Spike and noticed he was holding something "Is that a book?" Spike looked at it
"It's one of Twilight's Spellbooks.....It was open on the floor when we ran into the Library so I picked it up...Guess I forgot I was carrying it." Spike looked at the cover."Oh, thank Celestia! She was reviewing the basics" Spike threw his hands up "Thank you for being yourself Twilight"
"How does that help us?"
"because you suck at magic, and I know most everything about these spells. with this Spell book, we can learn how to do some proper magic, and that might help us not die." Trixie looked at him for a second
"I..I don't suck.." Spike looked at her,
"Whatever, the point is this book will help you, which will help us to survive. Now.....We need a place to properly hide, and as much as I like this lake....this water source will attract tons of other things, with will, in turn, attract Zombies. So...I say we take a big Drink.."
"And find a safe place to spend the night" Trixie finished as she leaned down and began to drink the water, Spike followed suit, and after drinking their fill, they looked around.
"I'd be willing to bet zombies lack basic survival skills....so we should find a place ponies can't survive in without a lot of work," Trixie said as she looked around. "Like a frozen wasteland"
"Or a place protected by a frozen wasteland..." The two turned to each other and said in unison
"THE CRYSTAL EMPIRE!!!"
