The Awakening

Chapter 11: Infiltration

By: Wolf

(Wolf's POV)

'Holy shit, that thing's huge!' I think as I gape at the ungodly large mountain that loomed before me. It seemed to go into space and probably could reach the moon!

“Well... Better get climbing!” I order. The others start climbing up the colossal mountain, butting on space suits instead of mountain gear.

'Wow, these cubes have everything we've needed so far...' I ponder. Those thoughts aside, I suit up and start climbing. The climb was pretty uneventful, except for a few avalanches. I noticed large craters that must have been caused by various satellites. After several weeks of climbing, I intercept a transmission.

“Help, anyone out there! We're low on ammo and supplies! If anyone can hear this, please respond!” An unknown female voice said.

“This is Wolf responding, please confirm, over.” I reply.

“Oh, thank god someone's here, we've been trapped here forever, the crops are starting to die, and the zombies-”

“Zombies?!” I say as I cut her off.

“Yes, please hurry, we're about to get overrun!”

“We're on our way!” I yell back.

“Who was that?!” Dash asks.

“Some survivor, they're having zombie issues.” I respond.

We sprint up the mountain, trying to find an entrance. We eventually find a large titanium door. I toss a H.E. Grenade on it and it blows open. There was a sudden depressurization.

“Shit! Sorry, put on some space suits!” I yell into the radio.

“Rodger.” Replies a gruff male voice.

We continue walking through the base, finding a airlock and walking through. I hear a crying sound. Thinking it was a 'witch' I tell the others to hold back. But then it sobbed “Help me, please!”  As far as I knew, zombies couldn't talk. The little girl saw me and shrieked 'Pony!' and latched onto my chest.

“Ohhhhkay....” I mutter. “Someone help this girl.”

“I got her.” Dash said as she walked over. Then the weirdest thing happened, the girl whispered “Dashie?”

All of our jaws dropped to the floor. How did see know her! Then a woman walked out of a corner and said “Come here Isabelle.” Then she noticed us.

“Oh my god! Those ponies from that show are real!”

'Okay, total mindfuck...' I thought.

“Who are you, and where are the others?” I ask.

“Ummmmmmmm.... who are you?” She asks, probably expecting a human.

“I'm Wolf.” I Respond.

“Ummm, the others are coming, I hope you have a way out of here.” She answers.

“Yeah, I have a super sonic jet at the base of the mountain, we have plenty of food for the journey back.”

“Even for eight other humans?” She asks. I then noticed she looked familiar, she was a character from L4D! Several others came around the corner, firing madly.

“We need to leave!” The shouted. We started running, and jumped down the side of the mountain, remembering we were still in space. I noticed they were the combined characters from both the L4Ds, it was confusing, but just as confusing that the world I was in used to be a cartoon. After losing the zombies, we slowed down and reentered Earth's atmosphere, very slowly though, as we didn't need to burst into flames. After several more months of walking, we got back to the plane.

“What took you so long?!” Twilight asked.

“The mountain was in space. Long story.” I flatly responded.

“Well glad to hear it, you better get home quick, Snowflake is going to have her baby any day now.” She responded, I wasn't really surprised that they figured out after the months we've been away.

“Okay, we're flying home.” I responded, turning the aircraft on. After turning it on, I imagined the scene fading into a fuzzy black and saying 'So the Survivors Escaped.' Just like in the game. Me and Storm started talking to the survivors.

“You know, you guys bear resemblance to video game characters from a game called 'Left 4 Dead and Left 4 Dead 2.'” Storm said. They all looked flabbergasted.

“Yeah, and by all your tale of adventure, it's exactly the same as in the game.” I say. Meanwhile Rochelle (I probably spelled it wrong =) and her daughter, Isabelle were talking to Dash.

“Yep, my world is a cartoon...” Dash mumbled.

“Up until when?” I ask.

“Until Shining and Candace got married.” She informs.

“Well, it couldn't have gotten all the tiny details of you're romance with Fluttershy?” I ask.

“It got a few, but not really.” She mumbles.

“It'll be fine, their life was a video game to me and Storm.” I inform her, getting a chuckle.

After several hours, we return back to the bunker. I show the survivors to their new living quarters, informing them they could be a pony if they wanted to. They thanked me and started setting up their rooms. I walked back to my room and sat down with Setura. She was laying on the couch, probably waiting for me to get home, and was fast asleep. I sighed and fell asleep with her.

I awoke to screaming.
