Chapter 16
Previous ChapterNext Chapter"NOW!"
Shots rang out from out of no where as three of the gang members were hit with bullets. Two in the shoulder, and one in the head. Before Flash and Thunderlane could process what happened, an orange blur ran right passed them and struck the gang leader. Seconds later, more shots rang out from behind them, this time from Spike, and the other two members went down. All that was left was the leader who was now on his ass as Sunset towered over him with her sword pointed right at his face. At that point, Spike came running at her side, aimed at the two gang members who were shot in the shoulder, and finished them off.
"W-W-Wait, wait, WAIT!" he said. "Can't we work this out?!"
"No." said Sunset. With a single slash of her sword, she finished the man off. Spike went to the side of one of the girls who tried desperately to hide themselves, but before he could say anything to them, he noticed a horde of zombies making their way towards them.
"We've got company!" he announced. Twilight and the others came out of the shop just in time to see the horde making their way towards them. The girls screaming along with the unmuffled gunshot must've alerted them. With their window of escaped rapidly closing, Spike immediately removed his shirt and handed it to one of the girls. "Here, put this on." he said. Flash and Thunderlane followed suit; helping the other two girls to their feet.
"We need to move now!" Rarity announced.
"I'll cover you, GO!" Spike said as he took point.
"SPIKE HERE!" Cream yelled as she tossed a silencer towards him. It was a good idea, since it'd be best as to not attract any more undead. Spike quickly equipped it, then opened fire on the horde as everyone started to run away. Spike managed to kill at least twenty of them in the front row. As they fell over, the ones behind them tripped over their bodies. This managed to slow the horde down, but that wouldn't last long, but at least it gave them some time to get away.
****************************
"Hey, what about your friend back there?!" asked Flash. "You're not just gonna leave him are you?!"
"Don't worry about Spike, he'll be alright." Button reassured. "Just keep moving."
The ran until they made that first turn at the corner and right in front of them was a small horde of zombies wandering aimlessly. Twilight and Button quickly equipped their silencers then opened fire while Sunset showed off her superior sword skills and beheaded a few of them. One was sneaking up behind one of the girls, but Cream, holding Spike's axe, managed to kill it before it did anything. Once they were dispatched, the group continued on their way; making it a few feet when they saw more of them spread out over an opened area.
"Now what?" asked Thunderlane.
"Over there." Rarity said; pointing to a motel. The group headed straight over; killing whatever was in their way. Flash and his crew were about attempt to open one of the rooms, but Twilight told them to head upstairs instead since zombies can't climb. Button hurried and cleared the way for them; allowing all the girls to head up first while he covered them. Once everyone was safe, Button headed up after them, but now there was another problem, all the rooms were locked, and keys were naturally in the front office. Looking at the ground, the group watched as for some reason, a few zombies were were just dropping to the ground for some reason. Seconds later, Spike came into view; taking out whatever undead he could.
"Hey, there's your friend, he made it." said Flash. He was about to call out to Spike, but Rarity quickly cover his mouth with his hand; much to the shock of the rest of his crew.
"Don't yell, you'll alert the horde." she said.
"What are you talking about?" asked one of the girls.
"The zombies can't see, but they react to sound." she explained. "This slightest bit of noise will cause all of them to move to the location it came from."
On the ground, Spike noticed where everyone was, and headed over. "You guys alright?" he asked as he headed up the stairs. He was soon greeted with a hug from Twilight.
"We are, thanks to you." she said.
"I think we should rest here a bit before moving forward." he suggested. "Besides, I have no idea how many were just behind me, so we won't be leaving here anytime soon."
"Good idea, but the rooms are locked." said Button. "We'll have to head to the main office: wherever that is."
"I'll look." Spike said as stared walking towards the middle of the platform where he turned the first corner inwards. He saw a massive pool in the middle of the complex and right on the other side of it was the main office. Twilight walked up behind Spike and grabbed his hand. "It's right over there." he said. "Before I head over, think we should get separate rooms, or should we all pile up in the same one?"
"Well, we don't really know them all that well, but considering what just happened, it wouldn't feel right leaving them alone; especially the girls." Twilight admitted.
"All of us in one room, it is then." Spike said before releasing Twilight's hand. "I won't be long."
****************************
Unlike the motel they stayed in last time, this one had larger rooms so everyone wasn't cramped in. The room they were in was facing out towards the street so they had a perfect view to see if any zombies were roaming about. As everyone was able to take a breather, the group learned the names of the three girls, Sonata Dusk, Aria Blaze, and Adagio Dazzle. They also learned of where they were going, and Rarity didn't like it one bit.
"You're all better off going with my family instead." she said. "Knowing Neighsay, he'll only let you in if you have the money, or some kind of social status. Trust me, he has ulterior motives for doing what he's doing."
"So, your family has a safe place?" asked Sonata.
"We have several." Rarity answered. "In fact, my father is making plans to move everyone he can to those places as we speak. Unlike Neighsay, he'll help anyone he can regardless of who they are."
"So is that where you were heading?" asked Flash.
"Actually we just left from there." Rarity answered.
Flash and the others were shocked to hear that they had left from a safe area. Why in the world would they do something like that? Twilight could see them questioning their actions, and decided to give them answers. "Our parents are gathered at the mall on the outskirts of town." she explained. "We're heading there to get them." While Twilight was explaining their end goal, Adagio turned her attention towards Spike. There was something familiar about him, as though she'd seen him somewhere before, on top of that, the shirt was currently wearing was his. He didn't hesitate to give it to her, nor did he hesitate to put down those bastards who assaulted them. It made her blush, slightly.
"So what now?" asked Thunderlane.
"Looks like we're stuck here for now." said Button as he peeked out the window. Down below, the street was filled with zombies either wandering about or just standing there. Spike and Flash also took a peek while Rarity turned on the tv. The first thing that popped on was a news segment about how world leaders are handling the situation. Spoiler alert, they either aren't or can't.
****************************
Before anyone knew it, the sun was starting to go down and the horde of zombies still hasn't gone anywhere. Thankfully, they haven't made it onto the property so the group were able to head down to the front office to get a few towels and robes, although, they had to quiet about it, and no one was aloud to go by themselves; basically the issued the "buddy rule". While down there, Spike grabbed another keycard for the room next to the one they were staying in. The plan for for the boys to shower in one room while the girls took the other, however, Twilight was against that. She felt more secure if she knew Spike was right there next to the door, but at the same time she understood that Adagio and the other girls didn't know him or Button very well, and would be uncomfortable showering with a guy in the next room.
Spike, Twilight, and Adagio were just walking out of the office when she Adagio spoke up. "So.....what should I do about your shirt?" she asked with a slight blush.
"You should hold on it for now." he answered. "At least until we find a clothing store."
"I think I saw one down the street before we came here, but I can't be sure." said Twilight. "We can check it tomorrow before we head out." The trio made their way up the staircase where Adagio quickly used her arms to hold her breasts in place to keep them bouncing around too much. She hated not wearing her bra, but sadly, there was nothing she could do since it was ripped off her along with her shirt. At least, Spike wasn't trying to get a peak at her, although that could be because his attention was more on Twilight than anything else. Judging by how close they were, Adagio deduced that they were probably dating, which was a shame since she found Spike to be kind of cute; especially now that he's shirtless. However, she still couldn't shake the feeling that she's seen him somewhere before. It was on the tip of her tongue, but she just couldn't place it. Before long, the trio made it to the second platform where they walked through the small hallway to make on the other side. As Adagio and Twilight made their way to the room, Spike looked out at the street below and found that the scenery still hasn't changed since they got there. There was still a large amount of zombies in the area. Worst case scenario, if they were still there by the next morning, then they'll have to fight their way through, and risk alerting more of them.
Turning away from the ocean of undead, Spike noticed two large trolleys sitting right beside the room they were staying in. "Hey, what's with the....." he started only to be stopped when Sunset poked her head out.
"Sorry, Spike, but we've already started undressing." she explained. "If you're wondering about the trolley, Cream found it. She said she's gonna wash everyone's clothes later."
"Well if you need anything, you know where we'll be." he said. Sunset chuckled chuckled before heading back inside while Spike made his way to the next room over where the other guys were.
****************************
Two hours have passed and the night sky was filled with light from the full moon. There seemed to be a bit less zombies in the street right now, but that's only where Spike could see. For all he knew, there could be more lurking in the dark somewhere. Deep in thought, Spike failed to noticed Twilight walking up beside him. It wasn't until she playfully bumped into him that he started to pay attention to her. The first thing Spike noticed, was that the only thing Twilight had on was the white motel robe that clung to her body, her damp hair indicating that she'd just gotten out of the shower, and that she clearly fixed her robe to show off as much cleavage as possible for his eyes, and his eyes only. Taking his hand, she started to pull him inside just as Button, Flash, and Thunderlane came from around the corner with cans of soda in their hands. One by one, they all went inside. All the girls took the beds; leaving the guys to take the floor. At least they had the bedsheets and covers from the other room. Spike took a spot on the far end of the room next to the bathroom while Button took the other end; similar to how they spent the night in the previous motel room. This left the middle spot for Flash and Thunderlane. The two large beds were big enough for three people each, and seeing as there's seven females at the moment, Cream took it upon herself to sleep on the floor next to Button; much to his delight.
Their clothes were in the middle of drying so it was decided to pick them up first thing tomorrow. The group stayed up for a few more minutes; talking and planning their next move before one by one, they each laid down to catch some shut eye. The lights were off, except for the tv that was on the weather channel. The music that played was surprisingly relaxful, and helped everyone fall asleep; except for a few.
About 45 minutes after lights out, Twilight, laying on the end of the bed, looked over at Spike who laid on his back with his eyes close. "Spike?" she whispered. Spike responded by opening his eyes and looking up at her. No words were spoken as he knew what she wanted. With a light chuckle, Spike pulled his sheets back, and Twilight, slowly and carefully, rolled off the bed and landed on top of him. Spike then pulled the sheets over them where they then snuggled together. After about three minutes of holding each other, Twilight softly bit her bottom lip and slowly moved to sit up. She looked down at Spike who was trying to figure out what she was doing before she untied the strap on her robe and removed it. With her breasts on full display, Spike's attention was solely focused on them to the point that he did realize, Twilight was opening his robe as well until he felt the cool breeze against his bare chest. With Spike's chest exposed, Twilight took this time to lay back down; smashing her breasts against his and capturing his lips. Spike wrapped his arms around Twilight and accepted her advancements; his hands roaming up and down her back before moving to her butt.
The two of them broke apart and stared at each other before Spike broke the silence between them. "You sure about this?" he whispered. "We might wake the others."
"I'll be quiet." Twilight responded with a giggle before moving back in for another kiss.
Spike and Twilight weren't the only ones with this idea as Cream and Button were already in the middle of their little session. The two of them were under the covers with Cream's thick hips clearly bouncing up and down, and by the speed she was going, it wouldn't be long before their little session came to an end.
****************************
High in the air, a massive plane soared through the sky, but this wasn't just any plane, it was Equestria 1; a special plane designed to carry the prime minister of Equestria. It was designed to keep all on board safe, but sadly, it was anything but. Shots were being fired by two members of security as five zombies were making their way towards them. "Dammit, who the FUCK let them on?!" screamed a female staffer.
"AIM FOR THE HEAD!" yelled a male security officer.
Behind them was the main office where the prime minster of Equestria was located. She sat at a desk wondering on what to do about this zombie outbreak. "Prime Minster Harshwhinny, you need to activate the code now!" pleaded a man who was the Secretary of Defense . "As time passes, we lose more and more cities to those things. You need to take action and eliminate them once and for all!"
"Don't you think I know that?!" she argued.
"Then why haven't you've acted already?!" he argued. "It's your obligation as Prime Minister to act on the will of the people! You have to enter the code!"
"And what, kill even more innocent souls who's still out there fighting to survive?!" she argued. "No matter how justified YOU may think it is, I will NOT make that call! Raven, is there any place safe for us to land?"
"Yes, ma'am, we're approaching a military base as we speak." she answered. "General Rockhoof is awaiting out arrival."
Just then, the door opened and one of the security guards walked in. "Ma'am, all undead have been disposed of." he said. "The pilots don't appear to have been bitten either. We'll be landing in a few." At this point, Harshwinny stood up from her desk and proceeded to walk out of the office; ignoring the pleas of the secretary of defense. Sometime later, Equestria 1 landed as the military base where everyone on board were greeted by the solders and the General was more than happy to see them.
"Welcome, Prime Minister, glad you could make it." he said.
"Tell me, how bad is it out there?" she asked.
"It's getting worse by the day." he answered.
****************************
Inside the war room, there was massive table where the prime minister and everyone within her administration sat to discuss the next plan of action. "As you can see, Prime Minister, just about every major city his been overrun by these creatures." said the general. "Survivors are few and far in between with the lucky ones forming small communities in order to survive."
"Are there any answers to how this all started?" she asked.
"None, ma'am, but there is one theory." he started. "There was a medical professor doing some kind of research. He said it was one that was going to change the world."
"Where is this professor?" she asked.
"Unfortunately, he died a couple of months ago." he answered. "However, I have a team already on their way to his old medical lab. Hopefully they'll find something that might give us some answers."
"You think he might've had something to do these zombies?" asked the Secretary of Defense.
"We don't know, but at least, we'll have a start." the general answered. "For all our sakes, I hope we find something in there.
Prime Minster Hasrhwinny was hoping for the same thing as well, since the last thing she wanted to do was what her defense secretary was begging for. "No matter what, I will NOT launch those nuclear missiles." she thought.
