Equestria of the Dead

As the sun was showing signs of setting, the group had managed to fight their way near the west wing of the school. Along the way, they had ran into a group of students who managed to survive the ordeal and brought them along. They all had made it to the stairway leading to the ground floor when they were forced to stop upon seeing the entire floor filled with students who were turned into zombies. "Great, now what?" asked a male student.

"Keep your voice down." warned Rarity. "These zombies might not be able to see us, but they can definitely hear us. They react to sounds and slightest noise will set them off."

"So how are we gonna get pass them?" asked as a female student.

"I know what to do." said Spike. "If what you say is true and they react to sounds, then i'll clear a path." Spike started to make his way towards the floors when Twilight grabbed him arm; the fear on her face said it all. If Spike was wrong about this, then he'll definitely die down there. He placed a hand over hers; insuring her that everything was going to be alright with a smile. Twilight reluctantly let him go and Spike made his way to the bottom. Spike controlled his breathing as he walked through the crowd of zombies. One of them made its way towards him, and just passed him by as if he wasn't there. Looking down, Spike found a shoe and picked it up; throwing it down the hall in the opposite direction of the main door. It hit a locker which caused the zombies to react and move towards where the sound came from. Spike waited until the floor was completely clear before heading over to the door and slowly and carefully opened it. He waved at everyone to come down quietly; which they did. One by one, they all went through the door as quietly as possible. If they kept this up, then they could make it to the bus; no problems.

*CLANK*

So much for no problems. One of the students, carrying a long metal object, accidently hit the side of the staircase as caused a loud echo to ring out. All the zombies that were inside the building as well as the ones outside, all heard the sound and reacted. With no choice, Spike yelled out. "EVERYBODY RUN!" The entire group started to make a break for it towards the bus area. Spike, Sunset, and Twilight went up ahead of the group and took out as many zombies as they could; clearing a path for everyone. Unfortunately, not all of them were able to make it. One of the students got caught by one of the zombies and was taken down rather quickly. As badly as most of them wanted to help, they couldn't; else they'd be in the same boat. With a swing of his axe, Spike managed to decapitate a zombie while Twilight bashed one's head in with her bat. Sunset, using her bokken, managed to take out three at once.

The group turned the corner and there in front of them was the bus. Running as fast as they could, they reached their destination with Cream Heart being the first one inside. Spike and Sunset took point and took out any zombie that was getting close to them; giving the others enough time to gin on the bus. "Is everyone on?" asked Sunset.

"Yeah, seems so." Spike answered. "Get going, i'm right behind you." With a nod, Sunset got on the bus just as Cream Heart started it up. Spike jumped on right after her and was about to shut the door when he heard a female voice call out. "WAIT! PLEASE DON'T GO!" Looking out into the distance, Spike saw a few students and a teacher running for their lives towards them.

"Who's that?" he asked.

"That's Mr. Sombra, isn't it." Sunset answered. That name triggered something inside Twilight that caused her to become extremely angry for some reason. With zombies starting to swarm around them again, Spike was about to head back out to help them, but was stopped when Twilight grabbed his arm.

"Don't help him!" she said.

"What?! What do you mean don't help him?" Spike asked in a shocked tone.

"You don't have to help him, just leave him here to die!" she yelled.

Outside, as the zombies were starting to get closer, Sombra and his students were getting close to the bus. "Hurry everyone, just a little further!" he said as his students passed him up. At the end, a male student tripped and fell to the ground groaning in pain.

"Ahh, m-my ankle, I think I sprained it." he said. "Mr. Sombra, please, help me."

Sombra looked over at the student and smiled. "Oh, you poor thing." he said. "Well....I guess that's it for you then." In one move, he stomped the kid in the face; crushing his glasses into his eyes and watched him as he screamed in pain. "The world we know is over." he said. "The weak have right to be in the new one." As he turned around to walk away, the male student was surrounded with a group of zombies. Sombra wore a dark smile on his face as he heard the boy's screams and plea for someone to save him.

With everyone on the bus, Cream Heart hit the gas and they were on the move. As she headed for the gate, she saw the entire student body, now zombies, in her way. As the school nurse, she knew most of them, took care of most of them, and now was going to have to mow them down so that she and everyone can escape. With tears starting to form in her eyes she lowered her head. "Forgive me." she whispered. Stepping on the gas, the bus picked up speed; running over every zombie in its path until it made it to the gate. The bus crashed through and began to make its journey into the city. Inside, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"We made it." said Spike.

"Barely." Button replied.

"Thank, God we did." Sombra said as he walked up to them. "You're Sunset Shimmer, are you? I take it you've been appointed leader."

"No." she answered. "We just worked together to survive, that's all."

Sombra let out a light chuckle as he looked at everyone. "That's no good. To survive, we need a leader; a leader who bares everything, included the lives of everyone who follows him."

"Is he serious?" Rarity thought before she looked out the window. She gasped as she saw the city out in the horizon in flames with black smoke rising as high as the tallest buildings. Who knows what was happening right now as they got closer and closer to it. It wouldn't surprise her at all if there was riot happening right now. Over with Spike, he could see a disgusted look on Twilight's face as she watched Sombra make some kind of speech about how they need a leader to survive.

"So what's up, Twilight?" he asked. "Why did you want me to just leave them back there?"

"No, not everyone, just him." she said. "I can't stand him."

"Why? Did he do something to you?" he asked.

"Not to me, but to......" Twilight started to explain, but she was soon interrupted by one of the male students growling in frustration.

"Look, its dangerous to go into the city." he growled. "Why are we even going there in the first place? If you ask me, we should've stayed back at the school until someone came for us. For all we know, help is already over there right now."

"If you really feel that way, i'm sure the nurse will have no problem pulling over and letting you off so you could walk back." said Sunset. At that point, Cream Heart stopped the bus which actually scared him a bit, but the reason was that there was a barricade in front of the tunnel that led into the city. She was going to have to back up and take a detour somewhere. "So why don't you tell us what your problem is?" Sunset continued.

The male student answered by pointing right at Spike. "I can't stand this guy." he answered. "I hate him." At that point, Spike stood up from his seat to confront him. This caused Cream Heart to get out of her seat as well and grabbed Button to bring him closer to her out of fear that a fight was going to break out.

"Why? What the hell did I even do to you, I don't even know you." he said.

"Not to me, but to the student body president, you sick bastard." he said. The student was about to charge at Spike to punch him, but he was stopped when Twilight stepped in and hit him in the stomach with the hilt of her bat. The student groaned in pain and fell to the floor.

"Asshole." she said as she stared at him.

Sombra, having witnessed this, started to clapping his hands. "Bravo, thank you for proving my point." he said. "This just shows that we need a leader. Neither one of you would want such a heavy responsibility on your shoulders, do you?"

"Let me guess, you're gonna run for the position then?" ask Rarity.

"Well, I am a teacher, Miss Belle, and while mature, all of you are 18 and barely considered adults." he said. "That alone shows who's more qualified. Why, just moments ago, I saved all these brave students." With a smile, two female students stood up and began clapping followed by two male students. Eventually, the entire back end of the bus was applauding Sombra to be the leader of the group, to which the teacher graciously accepted by taking a bow. And just like that, Sombra was now their leader. Even more disgusted by this, Twilight headed for the door and jumped out.

"T-Twilight!" Spike yelled.

"No!" she said. "I'm not staying here with HIM!"

Spike jumped off and grabbed her hand. "Wait, Twilight." he said. "Just come back to the bus, and we'll get off when we get back into the city."

"Dammit, Spike, I told you you should've left him to die." she said.

"Twi....." Spike started but was interrupted when he heard a the sound of a horn. Coming at them at full speed was a city transit bus. Sunset noticed it as well and yelled at Cream Heart to get them out of the way. The nurse quickly put the bus in reverse right before the transit hit something and flipped into the air. Spike grabbed Twilight and ran into the tunnel with her just as the bus crashed; blocking them off from the others. "SPIKE, TWILIGHT!" Sunset yelled as she got off the bus. The transit caught fire and coming out of it were zombies that were set ablaze. The fire surrounding their bodies appeared to have no effect on them whatsoever.

"Spike, Twilight, you two alright?!" Sunset yelled.

"Y-Yeah!" Spike answered as the flames increased. "The east police station! Meet us at the east police station! If not tonight, then definitely tomorrow!" The flames grew too much for the two of them to stay near it any longer. Sunset ran back into the bus where Cream Heart backed out to find another way around. Inside the tunnel, Spike noticed a strange liquid pouring out of the transit bus was immediately alerted. "Shit!" he yelled as he grabbed Twilight's hand. The two of them ran away from the wreckage as fast as they could as the liquid traveled to the fire and ignited. A loud explosion went off and a wall of fire traveled through the tunnel; nearly engulfing Twilight and Spike. The two barely escaped the explosion, but weren't out of the woods yet. They couldn't stay there any longer than they already were since the sound would obviously attract more zombies near them.

"We should get going." Spike said while keeping an eye out for any zombies.

"Y-Yeah." Twilight replied.

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

It was a little after midnight when Twilight and Spike entered the city. The part of the neighborhood they were in was completely abandon. Windows were broken, cars left in the middle of the road, buildings looking as though they were broken into, and blood smeared just about everywhere. It looked like scene within a horror movie. As they walked, Twilight held onto Spike; afraid that something would jump out at them any second now. The only thing that put her mind somewhat at ease was the fact that some of the street lights were on. "Maybe we should rest." Spike suggested once he noticed a bench at a bus stop.

Admittedly, Twilight was tired from walking all the way here, but at the same time, this area was making her very uncomfortable. She felt like someone was watching them from the shadows. It was then she saw something at the edge of the corner. It looked to be some kind of bike, but she wasn't sure. She pointed it out to Spike and the two of them headed over. Turns out, it was nice sized moped scooter with the key still in the ignition. The pair couldn't believe their luck, now they could make it to the police station faster, however, there was one small problem. When Spike started it up, there was hardly an gas in the thing. "There should be a gas station nearby, right?" Twilight asked.

"Hopefully." Spike replied as he got on. Hopping on along with him, the two drove off; just as a few zombies came out of the shadows. Spike and Twilight traveled the neighborhood for about 15 minutes until they came across a gas station, and just in time too. The moped had ran out of gas. Getting off, Spike pushed it towards one of the pumps before letting out a small growl.

"What is it?" Twilight asked.

"These pumps only takes cash." he said. "Who the hell carries cash on them in this day and age."

"Great, now what?" Twilight wondered. Picking up his axe, Spike turned towards the building. "Uh, Spike, what you thinking?"

"I'm going inside and break the register." he said. "There might be some change inside we can use. Shouldn't take long, scream if you hear anything." As Spike started to make his way inside, Twilight moved closer to the bike and waited. Spike slowly entered the building and took a look around. There was no one in there and the place didn't seem to be wrecked. "Maybe they all ran away when all this shit started." he thought as he made his way around the corner. "I normally do things like this in games; never thought i'd actually do this in real life." Raising up his axe, Spike bashed the register. Outside, Twilight could hear the constant smashing and rolled her eyes.

"Geez, he's loving this, isn't he?" she said before giving a small smile. "He's such a....AAAHHHHH!" Twilight didn't noticed, but someone was watching her and Spike from a distance. Whoever it was, they apparent;y waited until Spike was inside in order to make their move. Twilight's scream caused Spike to stop what he was doing and run back outside.

"TWILIGHT!" he yelled. Spike stopped in his tracks once he saw that Twilight was being held at knife point by some guy with a crazy look on his face. Upon seeing Spike holding his axe, he let out a crazy sounding laugh.

"Hey, you've got a hot piece of ass here, ya know that." he said.

Let her go!" Spike demanded, but the man just laughed at him.

"And why would I do that?" he laughed. "You'd think i'd just go after one of those zombie bitches? Not on your life, man." The man began laughing louder and harder as he held Twilight closer.

"You're insane." Spike said.

"Insane?" he said. "Ya goddamn right I am! My entire family became those things right in front of me! I had to smash their heads in in order to survive! My father, mother, brother, grandmother, and kid sister! I killed all of'em! How can I be normal?! YA THINK I WOULDN'T BE FUCKED UP AFTER THAT?!" As the guy started laughing crazy, Twilight took this time to push him away to get to Spike, but he managed to catch her; grabbing a hold of her of one her breasts. Twilight let out a high pitched squeak as the man began fondling her hard. "Hey, you got some nice tits here, bitch. They feel so soft, so smooth." he growled.

"Stop it!" Twilight yelled with tears falling from her eyes.

Spike gritted his teeth and gripped his axe in pure anger at what was happening right in front of him. "Hey, man, you're fucking her, right?" the man said. "I'll bet you're sticking it to her every night, aren't ya. Wait a minute....holy shit you haven't?! You mean to tell me you haven't gotten all up in this yet?!" The man let out yet another crazy sounding laugh as he grabbed Twilight's shirt with a hard grip. "Come on, bitch, show me just how nice these tits of yours really are!" In one move, he managed to rip apart not only Twilight's shirt, but her bra as well. With her breasts bouncing free for the world to see, Twilight sealed her eyes shut and screamed to the top of her lungs while the man just marveled the sheer size of her chest. This caused Spike's anger to rise tenfold as he gripped his axe with such force that he managed to crack it a bit. He was only able to take one step towards them before the man put his knife next to Twilight's neck. "Stop right there!" he yelled. "Drop the axe, or i'll kill this bitch.....and the bike, give me the fucking bike!"

"There's no gas in it." Spike growled.

"I heard you in there!" the man yelled. "Get the cash an fill up the damn thing!" He didn't want to give in to this guy's demands, but what choice did he have? With a heavy sigh, Spike dropped the axe and started to head inside the building; all the while hearing Twilight's cries as she was being continuously fondled. Spike headed over to the counter where the register was opened and grabbed a fist full of cash. It was then he saw something on the ground; just under the counter. He bent down and there before him was a handgun; a 9mm revolver to be exact. He hadn't noticed it there before, but was glad it was here. He grabbed it and placed it in his back pocket before heading out. He had to wait for the right time to use it, or else Twilight's dead. Coming out, Spike never took his eyes off the guy as he headed over to the gas pump and place the money in; soon filling the bike with gas. It didn't take long for the bike to be completely filled when Spike turned to back to the man. "There, it's done." he said.

"Leave the bike, and walk away." he demanded.

"Let Twilight go, and you and keep the bike." he said.

"Not on your fucking life!" he yelled. "The bitch stays with me, NOW GET MOVING!" Spike stared the man down before glancing off in the distance and seeing that trouble was slowly making his way here. He decided not to react to it unless this guy tries something like throwing Twilight right at them. Spike took two steps away before turning to face them. "Come on, man.........." he started.

"ARE YOU FUCKING DEAF, RETARD!" the man interrupted; waving the knife around before pointing it at Spike. "I SAID GET WALKING!"

Seeing that trouble was starting to get closer, Spike tried again to speak to the guy. "Look....."

"I SAID SHUT UP AND START WALKING!" he screamed; waving the knife around once again. Spike took this time to attack. In one move, he darted towards the man; reaching into his back pocket, pulling out the revolver, and placing it to the guy's shoulder. This caught him completely by surprise, as he had no idea Spike had one. "I've never fired a gun of before, but you know what, I don't think i'll miss at this range. Spike said.

"H-Hey, w-wait a minute." he said. "T-The gas, you'll hit the gas."

"I don't see how that's possible since your shoulder is a few inches away from the pump." Spike countered before he fired off a shot.

*BANG*

The bullet went right through the man's man's shoulder and he fell backwards; releasing Twilight in the process. Placing a hand over his now bleeding shoulder, the man yelled out in pain while hunched over. "YOU ASSHOLE!" he yelled. "BLEEDING.....I'M BLEEDING!" The pain was just so much, he could bring himself to stand up. On the ground next to him was his knife that was picked up by Twilight. He looked up and saw the topless girl with tears streaming down her face ready to deliver the killing blow. Twilight was feeling anger and humiliation the likes of which she's never felt before and was going to end him right here and now.

"I'll kill you." she could only whisper she was so angry. "I'll fucking kill you."

"Twilight, stop." Spike said grabbing her arm. "We have to go."

"But he....." she started before noticing an entire horde of zombies coming at them. They couldn't drive off with the bike, so their only chance to escape was to head inside.

"Let's go." Spike said. Twilight looked back at the man with disgust before dropping the knife, and went with Spike.

"H-Hey, y-you're not gonna leave me here are you?!" the man yelled. "WHAT KIND OF SICK FUCKERS ARE YOU?!" His anger soon turned into complete fear once he noticed a horde of zombies towering over him. "NO, COME BACK, COME BACK!" he screamed, but Twilight and Spike ignored his cries and entered the store; locking the door behind them. The man was paralyzed with fear as inch by inch, the zombies closed in on him. Seconds later, the only sound that could be heard, was his screaming as one by one, the zombies piled on top of him.
