Equestria of the Dead

Spike stood on the roof of the school building looking out into the horizon of the city. Class was about to start soon and he didn't feel like going, in fact, Spike didn't even want to come to school at all today; not after an incident that happened sometime ago. All day, he didn't look at anyone, nor speak to anyone; in his mind, they were all ghosts. Soon the bell rang; signaling for class to start, but he just ignored it; opting to stay right up on the roof until school ends if he has to. He was about to go laid down and take a nap until he saw something off in the distance. A man who looked to be in his early 40s had stumbled onto the school grounds. He looked as though he could be drunk by the way he moved; unable to walk into a straight line. Seconds later, the grounds keeper and two other teachers started to make their way to confront him.

"This should be fun."Spike thought as he watched them.

"Hey, what do you think your doing?!" demanded the female teacher. "This is private property; leave here at once or we'll call the police!" There was something off by the man standing before them. His eyes had a dead look in them while his skin and complexion looked as though he hadn't bathe in a week.

"I'll take care of this." the male teacher said as he roll up his sleeve. As the teacher went to grab him, the man acted first; grabbing the teacher's arm and biting it; tearing away parts of his flesh. The male teacher screamed in pain and fell to the ground as blood splattered everywhere. Seeing this caused Spike to gasp in shock as he continued to watch.

"Oh my God, are you alright?!" the female teacher yelled as she kneeled down next to her colleague. "You monster, what did you do to him?!" Seconds later, the male teacher rose up, grabbed his colleague by the top of her blouse, and pulled her in to bite her on the neck. She screamed just as loud as he did as parts of her flesh were ripped off and blood was splattered everywhere. After she fell over, her body started twitching and slowly began to rise up. Both teachers suddenly took on the same form as the man who walked onto the property. Scared beyond belief, the groundskeeper dropped everything and ran off in a panic as all three started to slowly make their way into the building. Up on the roof, Spike couldn't believe what he saw and made beeline door leading back inside. He ran down the stairs and into the hallway where he heard screaming coming from behind him. He turned around just in time to see two students being tackled to the ground by two more zombie-like people.

"There's more of them?!" he said. Turning back around, Spike started to run in the opposite direction. "How did they get up here so fast?" As Spike turned the corner, he bumped into someone and fell to the ground with them. "S-Sorry I......" he said before realizing who it was he ran into. "Twilight?" On the ground before him, was Twilight, a busty, nerdy girl with glasses and her hair up in a ponytail. She groaned her rubbed the back of her head before realizing that her legs were opened and her dark purple panties were exposed. With a shriek, she quickly closed them up in order to hide her modesty.

"What the hell, Spike!" she said with a deep blush.

With no time to waste, Spike stood up and pulled Twilight to her feet. "No time to explain, just come with me!" he said before dragging her off.

"Whoa, Spike, wait!" Twilight said as the two of the ran down the hallway. Seeing something in the distance, Spike quickly ran towards a tight broom closet, and entered it with Twilight; closing the door behind them. "Spike, what are do......" Spike cut her off by placing a hand over her mouth. Twilight's eyes widen as many thoughts started to enter her mind. Was Spike about to have his way with her inside the broom closet? No, he wouldn't do anything like that! Spike's not that type of guy. Grabbing his hand, she removed it from her mouth and demanded answered. "What's going on?"

"Keep your voice down." he said. "Those things will find us."

"What things?" she asked. Spike couldn't bring himself to enjoy the feeling of having Twilight ample breasts smashed against his chest as he was more worried about being discovered by those zombies. Suddenly, something smashed into the door which would've caused Twilight to shriek, but Spike once again placed a hand over her mouth. The two of them silently watched the silhouette of someone bumping against the door in an odd way for a while before it started to slowly leave. "W-What was that?" Twilight asked.

"It's hard to explain." Spike answered. "But we need to go." Spike very slowly opened the door and took a few step outside. Within seconds, he was tackled to the floor by a random female zombie.

"SPIKE!" Twilight screamed.

Spike was on his back trying to push off the female zombie to no avail. Chomping her teeth, she tried to inch closer to and closer to Spike's face. Her strength appeared to continuously grow the more she tried to get at him. "D-Dammit." Spike growled as he tried to push her back. Just as he was starting to suddenly win this struggle, the zombie was suddenly hit in the head with a hammer. This gave Spike the chance to finally push it off him and quickly rise to his feet. Looking at Twilight, he saw that she held a now bloody hammer in her hand with a shocked and scared look on her face. "Is that a zombie?" she asked.

"No time to explain." Spike said as he grabbed her hand. "We have to move." As the two of them ran off, the female zombie slowly rose to its feet and proceeded to walk off in the opposite direction. Spike and Twilight managed to put a few distance between themselves and the zombie before stopping to catch their breath. At that point, the intercom came on and the voice of the principal could be heard.

"This is an announcement for all the students!" he said. "An emergency situation is taking place inside the school! All students are to listen to their teacher's instructions and evacuate immediately! I repeat, an emergency situation is taking place inside the school, all students are to listen to their teacher's instructions and evacuate immediately!" After he said that, there was a brief moment of silence that alarmed Spike.

"Oh, no." he said.

"What....what is it?" Twilight asked.

Just then, the principal could be heard over the intercom once again. "N-No, what are you doing, stay back!" he said with a tone of untold fear. "I said get back!" Just then the sound of a scuffle could be heard along with his screams. "NO, GET BACK! GET BACK! OH GOD! GOD HELP ME! NO, NO NNNNNOOOOOOO! AAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!" And with that, the intercom shut off. Within all the classrooms, there was dead silence as all the students and teachers tried to process what just happened. Seconds later, all the students screamed and rushed out into the hallways; falling over, and trampling one another as they attempted to evacuate. Some of which grabbed other students and punched them out of the way while the rest were kicked. It was total chaos. In their haste, most of the students wound up running into a small group of zombies where they were bitten and became zombies themselves.

"This way quick!" Spike said as he grabbed Twilight once again.

"W-Wait, where are we going?!" she yelled as they ran.

"To the roof!" he said. "There's too much going right now!"

****************************

As a group of students ran screaming down the halls, a brown skin male student with brownish-orange hair exited the classroom and began running in the opposite direction. A head of him was a busty marshmallow skinned girl with a stylish purple hairstyle. She looked to be peeking around the corner at something. "Hey, you're Rarity aren't you?" he said; startling her.

"Jesus, don't sneak up on a girl like that!" she said.

"S-Sorry." he said. "But, what are you doing?" Rarity pointed around the corner for him to to see, and what he saw instantly scared him. There were three zombie students standing in the middle of the hallway swaying from side to side as if they could fall over at any second. He was about yell out when Rarity grabbed him and pulled him away.

"Keep your mouth shut doofus!" she gritted her teeth.

"Sorry." he said.

"Look at how these things are moving." she said. "They appear to not know where to go." The two of them peeked around the corner and observed the zombies. "Hey, give me your shoe."

"What?" he said.

"I have a theory, now give your shoe." she said. The boy, for some reason, decided to listen to Rarity, took off his left shoe, and handed it to her, to which, she took aim and threw it; hitting the side of the locker. The sound caused the three zombies to look over then move in the direction it came from. All three of them walked right into the lockers and continued to bump into them as though they were trying to go through them. "They appear to only react to sounds which mean all their other senses must be dead." she said. "Which also means they're blind since they wouldn't be bumping into the lockers like that."

"What about the weather, like heat and rain?" he asked.

"I'm pretty sure we'll get plenty of chances to find out." she answered. "If we keep quiet, we can make it pass them, come on."

"Are you crazy?" the boy asked.

"It's literally the only other place to go." she said. "All the other hallways are filled with students causing a panic. Besides, where were you on your way to anyway?"

"The nurses office." he answered.

"Why there?" she asked.

"My mother's the school nurse." he answered. "With all that's happening, and now zombies roaming the school, I gotta see if she's okay."

"You're mother's the school nurse?" Rarity asked. "Nurse Cream Heart's your mother? That's means you're......."

"Yeah, i'm Button Mash." he said with a hint of confusion.

"Oh God, of all the students I could've ran into, I just had to run into the guy who has a fetish for his mother." she thought.

****************************

Spike and Twilight had made it to the roof of the school where they saw multiple army choppers flying over them into the city. Buildings were on fire, traffic jams as far as the eye can see, and signs if a riot breaking out. It was absolute anarchy. "W-What.....what's going on?" Twilight as she grabbed in to Spike's shirt. "Everything was just fine earlier this morning." A huge gust of wind nearly knocked the pair over as more and more army choppers flew over head. Twilight was about to make an attempt to wave them down, but Spike stopped her.

"Don't waste your strength." he said. "They're clearly not hear to help us, otherwise, they've done something before all this started."

"So what do we do?" she asked. Spike looked around and saw a small fight of stairs that led to a mini utility shed. Grabbing Twilight's hand, the pair made their way up there. Spike went to for the door, but stopped once he discovered that it was slightly open. Pushing Twilight behind him, he kicked it open; awaiting for a zombie to jump out. Thankfully, it appeared that nothing was in there; leaving Twilight and Spike to freely walk in. "There should be something in here we can use to defend ourselves with."

"You actually plan on fighting those things?" Twilight asked.

"We have no choice." he answered. "Once the sun sets, we're screwed. We have to get out of the school before then."

"But where will we go?" she asked.

"My house." he answered. "We'll get supplies, then find our families. After that, maybe find somewhere safe." Spike bent down and picked up an fire ax, as well as an old baseball bat. "These will have to do for now." Spike tossed the bat to Twilight before making his way to the door.

"We have to go to my locker." Twilight suggested.

"What for?" he asked.

"My cellphone's in there." she answered. "I can call my brother and he can come get us."

"Oh, yeah." Spike said with a change in his attitude. "I forgot your brother's a cop." Twilight, realizing that it might not have been a good idea to bring up her brother in front of Spike, slowly lowered her head in regret.

"I.....I'm sorry, Spike, I didn't mean......" she started before being interrupted by a girl screaming. Alarmed by this, both Twilight and Spike ran outside, headed down the staircase, and towards the back end of the roof. There, they saw the track field where a couple of students were running from a horde of zombies. One girl was unfortunate enough to get caught by two of them.

"HELP ME, PLEASE, SOMEONE HELP!" she screamed. One had her by the leg while the other held onto her arm as she struggled to get away. In one move, she was bitten on the neck which caused blood to splatter, she screamed out then fell to the ground. Seconds later, he skin started to change color as her body twitch uncontrollably.

"Oh, God." Twilight whispered as she held both hands over her mouth.

"It's just like those horror movies." Spike said. "Once they bite you, you become one of them. We have to get outta here, come on." The pair began to make their way back inside the school; unsure of how they were going to make it out of the place alive.

****************************

Button and Rarity had made it to the nurse's office and entered it just as three more students ran passed them. "Mom, you in here?!" Button said. Coming around the corner was a butterscotch skinned voluptuous woman with breasts too big to even be considered real with long hair that matched Button's.

Button!" she said as she ran to her son; his entire face disappearing in between her pillows. Rarity started to feel herself want to throw up in her mouth. It was highly rumored amongst students that there was some kind of insectious releationship between Button and his mother. This was mostly due to how close the two of them seemed to be. Even though they were just rumors, Button and Cream didn't take the extra steps to deny them and no one really wanted to take the extra step and confirm if it was true or not because......well......who wants to see someone banging their own mother. "Oh, honey, what is going on?" she asked.

"I don't know, but we need to leave." he said. Seconds later, four zombies crashed through the door; causing Rarity and Cream Heart to scream. The two of them moved behind Button who grabbed a heavy object, but before anything could happen, the zombies were attacked by a well endowed orange skinned girl with red and yellow hair wielding a long bokken, a wooden stick in the shape of a samurai sword. She attacked them with such force that each blow managed to crack their heads open and all four zombies fell to the ground motionless.

"You all okay?" she asked as she turned to face them.

"Y-Yeah." Rarity answered. "Are they dead?"

"Yeah. The only way to kill these things is to smash their heads open." she explained. "I managed to kill a few of them already, but more and more are appearing by the second."

"We can't stay here and wait for the police to save us." Rarity said. "We have to escape."

"If it's that bad out there, then the best exit should be the west end of the school." said Cream Heart. "It leads into the parking lot, so we could drive away."

"Isn't your car in the shop?" Button asked.

"Well....yes....but I can drive the bus that's parked out there." she answered.

"Do you have the key?" asked Rarity.

"Um....no." she admitted. "It's in the teacher's lounge."

"That's all the way on the other side of the school." said Rarity. "I doubt we'll be able to make there."

"We have to try." said the orange skinned girl. "The longer we stay here, the harder it's gonna be later, especially after dark, but if we stick together, we can make it." All nodded in agreement and prepared to head over to the lounge.

"By the way, what's your name?" Button asked.

"Sunset." she answered. "Sunset Shimmer."

****************************

Spike and Twilight ran through the halls; attacking any zombies they came across until they made it to Twilight's locker. Spike kept a lookout while she frantically entered in her locker combination. In her haste, she continuously messed up until she finally got it. Opening her locker, she pulled out her phone and was about to dial the number, when suddenly a few zombies started to show up. "Can't stay here." Spike said; grabbing her hand. "Let's head for the teacher's lounge. Hopefully, no one's in there." With a nod, Twilight and Spike started to head in the opposite direction of the zombies. This meant they had to take a scenic route that would take them in a complete circle until they made it to their destination. Along the way, they encountered another group of zombies that they quickly disposed of. The pair were starting to become tired as they were approaching the lounge; running as fast as they could until they entered it; both were out of breath, but were safe for now. The entire lounge was empty, and looked as though no one's been in here since earlier that morning. Spike and Twilight took a seat on a nearby couch to rest when Twilight pulled out her phone. She called her brother's number and got a ring tone but no answer. She tried it again and received the same result. "Why isn't he answering?" she asked; getting worried. She hung up and tried for a third time, this time there was an answer.

"Shining?" she said.

"T-Twily, is that you?" he asked. "Look, the entire city is in panic mode ri......*BANG*"

"Shining, what's going on, Shining!" she started to yell.

"Listen....yu.....ge....the......" the phone started to static.

"Shining, what are you saying?! Shining?! SHINING!" she yelled. Just then there was a click then a beeping sound. Twilight looked at her phone and saw a no service notice. "W-What? What do you mean no service, I was just speaking to him."

"Twilight." Spike said as he slowly pulled into his arms in an attempt to calm her down.

"Spike, I was just speaking to him." she said as she started to cry. This moment wouldn't last as the door handle began to jiggle. Someone, or something, was trying to get inside the lounge. Spike quickly stood up and grabbed his axe; ready to strike down any who entered. Thankfully, he didn't have to. Entering the lounge, was Sunset, Rarity, Button, and Cream Heart. All four of them were shocked to see that there were other survivors, although, Rarity and Sunset were more shocked that they were in the same room as Spike.

"You made it as well?" asked Button.

"More or less." Spike answered. Cream Heart let out a small gasp once she saw small blood splatters on Spike and Twilight's clothes. "So what are you all doing here?" Spike wondered.

"We're planning on getting outta here." Sunset answered. "We just came to get the keys to one of buses out back. You two should come with us." Twilight was about to agree, when something caught her attention on the tv screen. Noticing the remote on a coffee table, she got up went over to grab it, and used it to turn up the volume.

"Twilight, what is it?" Spike asked. Soon everyone looked up at the tv and saw a new report talking about the situation that was going on.

"Over 220 people have been victimize already." said the reporter. "The governor has already declared a......*BANG*.....a s-state of emergency. *BANG* BANG* It's a gunshot. It looks like the police are finally using firearms. From what I can see.......no, NO, NOOOOOO.........." The camera had fallen to the ground and captured the feet of a walking zombie while the reporter screamed to the top of her lungs. The camera was cut off and it went back to the studio where everyone looked to to be in shock.

"W-We seem to have lost connection." said the female reporter. "For now, will be broadcasting from the studio. The condition outside is extremely dangerous so stay indoors unless absolutely necessary. We'll bring you more stories as soon as it's safe to cover the site."

"Is that it? Just stay indoors until its safe?" Spike said. "Why aren't they telling us anything else?"

"They're afraid of causing a panic." Rarity explained. "One people start to panic, it causes even more chaos than we already have, and when that happens, well.....just hand everything to the walking corpses." The group continued looking at the tv with Twilight flipping channels in hopes of at least figuring out how all this started, but they came up short. All they know is that within a few hours, the entire world has been infected with zombies. Cream Heart slowly pulled her son close to her just as Twilight moved closer to Spike.

"So what now?" asked Button. "What can we do?"

"We can't stop it that's for sure." said Sunset.

"Spike and I were going to find our families, then find some place to hold up for a while." said Twilight. "Maybe we can do the same for yours."

"Sounds like a plan." said Sunset. "But before we do anything, I think it's best that we all get acquainted. Everyone here already knows the school nurse, so i'll started. I'm Sunset Shimmer."

"Hey, i'm Button Mash." Button spoke up.

"Rarity Belle." said Rarity.

"Twilight Sparkle." said Twilight.

"I'm pretty sure you all know who I am." Spike said; turning away from everyone. There was wave of silence in the lounge, save for the tv, as everyone except Cream Heart and Twilight, avoided eye contact with Spike. Cream Heart had a confused look on her face as she looked at everyone. Did something happen that she wasn't aware of? "Look, forget it." Spike said. "If we're to survive this, then we have to work together."

"Agreed." Sunset said as she noticed an uncomfortable look on Rarity's face.

"So, what's the fastest way out of the school?' Twilight asked.

"The west wing." Sunset answered. "That's where the buses are. We should also pick up survivors whenever we can."

"Let's go." Spike said.
