Last Humans on Earth

"Come everyone hurry up, get into the vault," I yelled through the megaphone. People were panicking and running around like chickens with their heads cut off. The air smelt of ash, from all the smothered out fires in front of the vault, built by rejected citizens. I tried helping them in, but the US military wouldn't allow it. "All people in the vault need to get inside now, and those of you who haven't been entered in need to find some place to hold out, and may god's love be with you."

People ran past me, eager to get inside before the bombs fell. People stood outside throwing rocks at the walls, military, me, and other people. Once the rest of the people got inside, the large door began closing, blocking us off from the outside world. I scanned over the crowd, until I landed on one person. My wife. She was staring up at me with a look of sadness here eyes bloodshot from crying. My wife was rejected as she was found holding contraband books. She wasn't publicly executed, but she was rejected a spot in the vault. I stood standing until the door closed, then followed the rest of the citizens into the vault.

The vault was crammed full of people, I stood towards the back, my face full of regret. I heard the air raid sirens sound, followed by an ear popping boom. They were all dead. I couldn't see them or hear them but everyone outside just died. I stood and I cried, I felt tears fall down my face, over the chatter I heard them hit the ground. I funneled everyone to the cryogenics room, as I was meant to keep these people frozen until we were awoke by the US military when the radiation cleared.

"Everyone, please step into a cryogenic freezer, and hug your family for the last time if you have to," I announced, the words carried quickly from person to person. After a while the hallways were filled with religious preachers giving off their last prayers and families giving their last hugs. I finally stepped into a cryogenic freezer, watching it close shut I let my final tear drop, freezing to my face.

"Tyler, come on, it's 9:30, we have to get going," Charles told me while shaking me awake. I quickly wiped the tears from my eyes, hoping he didn't notice. Charles left me and went back to his books, storing them on the shelves. I looked around saw five other ponies in the room, including Twilight. The three little one from yesterday were standing near one of the five ponies. Apple Bloom was standing next to a taller orange pony, with a blond mane. A cowboy hat rested upon her head. Scootaloo was over by Jackson, and telling a pegasus with a rainbow mane and cyan coat all about him. The pegasus was staring at Jackson like he was a god. Sweetie Belle was standing next to a white unicorn with a curly purple mane, she wore a frilly pink hat upon her head that looked absolutely grotesque. The other two ponies were a pink mare with extremely poofy cotton candy like hair, and the other was a yellow pegasus with an extended pink mane, she was hiding behind her mane. "There, all books put away."

"Thank you Charles, now I have invited my friends and our princesses, as I would like to take a tour of your vault," she told us. I pulled myself up and stared at her. "If that would be okay with you."

"Yeah, um, can you fly," I asked her. I heard a laugh coming from my right. "What?"

"Yeah we can fly, how do you think we control the weather," the cyan pegasus said matter of factly. I nodded and didn't bother turning my head. "Aldo, I'm Rainbow Danger Dash, fastest pegasus in Equestria!"

"Okay, so where are your princesses," I asked Twilight. I looked around the room, bot seeing anyone else.

"They aren't here yet, but that gives me time to celebrate a welcome to Ponyville party," she told us. "See when you come to Ponyville for the first time, I have to throw you a party, I should also throw you a Good Morning After Two And A Half Million Years party!"

"Okay, I guess I'll start off, I'm Tyler, this is Charles and that over there is Jackson," I told them. All of the attention was pointed at me. "Now who are you all?"

"I'm Applejack, best applebucker this side of Canterlot," the cowpony told me.

"I'm Pinkie Pie, the best party thrower in all of Equesria, maybe even the whole world," she sped through the sentence faster than my jaw could move.

"I'm Rarity, darling, I make clothes for anypony," I noted her use of the word 'anypony'.

"I'm Fluttershy," the yellow pegasus whispered.

"She's Fluttershy, she is well, shy," Twilight told us. I watched the small purple dragon enter the room. "What do need Spike?"

"I wanted to introduce myself too," he told her. "I'm Spike, the number one assistant of Twilight Sparkle!"

"Okay, then so how long before your princesses show up," I asked Twilight.

"We're already here, I'm Princess Celestia," I heard a motherly enter my head. I looked towards the balcony and saw a five foot tall pony, again with a horn and wings, her mane seemed to flow in the wind, even though there was no wind in the room. "I've been interest in meeting you since last night when Twilight sent the scroll."

"Well it's nice to meet you your highness," I told her. A black pony, again with wings and a horn, stepped out from behind the other.

"I'm Princess Luna, ruler of the night," she told me. "I'm the little sister of Princess Celestia."

"It's nice to meet you too, your highness, now I believe we should get going," I told them. I received nods from everyone in the room. I let Twilight lead everyone out of the castle, but once we got outside, I lead the group to the humvee. Outside I saw the humvee, but I saw two ponies, both were unicorns. One had a light blue coat with a light blue mane, the other had a pink coat with a purple mane with a light blue strip in the center of it. "Hey, who are you two? Charles uncover the humvee."

"I am the great and powerful Trixie," the light blue unicorn told me. She turned around and froze when she saw me. "Starlight, what is that?"

"What is what," Starlight turned around and saw me and looked interested in me and my friends. Charles pulled the camo net off the humvee. "What are you?"

"I'm Tyler, these are my friends," I told the two. I was getting tired of saying the same thing over and over again. "Who are you?"

"I'm Starlight Glimmer, and this is my friend Trixie," she told us. "Twilight, where are you going?"

"I'm going with Tyler, along with the girls and the princesses to see where he came from," Twilight told Starlight. "You can join us if you want."

"Sure, Trixie do you want to come," she asked. The light blue pegasus backed away from the group shaking her head. "She has a thing with other species, sorry."

"Jackson, check the humvee, make sure we got enough gas to get back," Jackson hopped into the humvee, and started the car up. The engine purred to life, the ponies, beside the three little ones, all pulled back.

"Yeah we got enough gas, hopefully," he told me. He turned the car off, and sat in the driver seat. "We ready to go?"

"How did you manage to do that, what is that beast," Luna asked. She walked over to it, and inspected the car. "How did you manage to make it roar?"

"It's a car Luna, not an animal, it has an internal combustion engine that runs off of gas, once combined with a few other things it moves us from point A to B quickly," I told her. She seemed impressed with the machine. "Now, this brings up a question, raise your hand, er, hoof if you can't fly."

I counted 6 hooves, the rest were ponies with wings.

"Okay, ponies that can't fly can ride in the humvee, everyone else must fly, not a lot of room I'm afraid," I told them. I opened the door and all the ponies that couldn't fly piled in. Charles hopped in and laid on the floor. I closed the door and got in the passenger side. "Okay, everyone just follow us to the vault, we now where we are going."

"Alright," I heard Rainbow say. I looked on top of the humvee and saw Twilight, Fluttershy and Rainbow sitting on top of the car. "Let's go already."

"Jackson, you heard her," Jackson started the car back up and reversed out, did a quick u-turn, and we were going. Once again I could tell this would be a long ride.
