Equestria of the Dead

Twilight and Spike headed towards the office which was located at the back end of the store where they locked themselves inside; deciding to wait until morning to leave. Hopefully by then, the zombies will be gone. Looking over at Twilight, Spike that she buried herself in the corner with her back towards him; using her arms to cover up as much of her breasts as she could while quietly sobbing. Inside the office, there were a couple of lockers. Hopefully one of them had something Twilight could use to cover herself up with. Unfortunately, as Spike looked through them, he found that they were all empty. There was, however, another solution. Spike took off his own shirt and head over to Twilight. "Here, put this on." he said softly. Twilight slowly rose her head and looked over her shoulder to see Spike handing her his shirt while at the same time avoiding eye contact. Twilight wiped the tears from her eyes and took the shirt from Spike; whispering a "thank you" to him.

After putting Spike's shirt on, Twilight turned to face him with a light blush. Spike was now sitting on the floor against the lockers looking up at the security tv screens in his muscle shirt. They captured everything inside and outside the building. This was good thing since they now had a way to tell if it was safe to leave. Twilight crawled over to him and wrapped her arms around his torso. No words were said as between the two of them as Spike placed an arm around her as she snuggled close to him. They stayed that way for a while before slowly falling asleep.

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

Hours passed before Spike slowly woke up to Twilight clinging to him. Spike was so angry with himself that he allowed her to fall in that terrible situation with the crazy guy. He squeezed her hand as he promised himself to never allow her to fall into that kind of situation again. Looking up at the security screen, Spike saw that it was daytime now and the front end seemed to be clear of zombies. He gently shook Twilight to wake her up. "Hey, Twilight." he said in a soft tone. Little did he know, Twilight was already awake, but didn't want to move just yet.

"Nooooo." she whined.

"Come on, you know we can't stay here." he said. "We have to meet up with the others, besides, we....kinda need to get you a new shirt." Twilight's grip on Spike tighten as memories of last night came back to her. He body started trembling which caused Spike to hold her close; gently rocking her back and forth until she calmed down. The pair stayed there for a few more minutes before standing up to leave. Very slowly, Spike opened the door and peered out. Thankfully, there were no signs of any zombies. Spike and Twilight grabbed their weapons and made their way to the front of the store where Spike headed behind the counter one last time to look for something.

"What are you doing?" Twilight asked.

"Looking for this." he answered. Spike found a small box of bullets for the gun and placed it in his pocket. The pair soon exited the building to discover the moped still where they left it and a pile of blood where the crazy man once was. Not wanting to think about him anymore, they both hopped on then drove off into the city.

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

Speaking of the city, there was a major evacuation happening right now; causing a traffic jam that stretched out for miles. Most of the people that were walking had left behind their cars in order to move quickly. Inside the bus, Button and Rarity were both looking out the window and witness all that was happening in front of them. "I wonder where they're going?" Button asked.

"If I had to guess, most of them are probably going to an island, or some isolated area with a strong military defense." she explained. "If the military have already taken precautions, then the capital city should be okay."

"Then maybe that's where we should be headed." Button suggested.

"No, it's too late." she argued. "Large areas, like the capital city, with a large military presence may be managing to keep these zombies under control, but they may also be adopting a stern policy towards letting anyone else inside. Sooner or later, it's going to be like that everywhere in the world. Most places might focus on keeping their community as small as possible in order to survive."

"You seem to have thought about this alot." Button complimented.

"In a world where whole cities have been taken over by zombies, it's only natural to have a closed off community." she said. "Just look at Sombra over there. You could already see he has one." Both Rarity and Button looked over to see Sombra sitting next to a well endowed female student with his hand caressing her cheek before slipping it inside her shirt to fondle her chest. The female student closed her eyes and suppress a moan; not wanting to alert the others while Sombra had a perverted smirk on his face. "You know, all this happened overnight." Rarity said.

"Think we should do something?" asked Button as he turned back around.

"Forget about them." she said. "Right now, we have better things to worry about. Like finding our families for instance."

"I agree." came Sunset's voice as she and Cream Heart approached them. "But what should we do about Sombra and the others? I highly doubt they'll want to come with us."

"That's easy, we leave them behind." said Rarity.

"W-What? We can't just leave them." Cream Heart argued.

"It's not like they'll be alone." Rarity argued. "They'll have their "fearless leader" Sombra to take care of them. To tell you the truth, I really can't stand that guy."

"Well, we can't leave right now. The sidewalks on both sides are filled we people." said Button. "Maybe we should wait a bit before acting."

"That might be for the best." Sunset agreed. "I just hope Spike, Twilight and the others could hold out for a while longer."

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

Twilight and Spike found themselves in a small clothing store that looked as though an earthquake hit it. Clothing racks were all over the floor, the cash registers were ripped open with a few dollars scattered everywhere, and the doors to the changing area were completely ripped off the hinges. The two of them searched the area and found that it was completely abandoned. After that, Twilight went looking for a something new to put on while Spike stayed near the dressing area and kept watch in case someone, or something came in. Twilight had managed to find a shirt that went well with the skirt she was wearing and all she needed to do now was find a bra that could fit her. She always hated bra shopping because she could hardly ever find anything in her size. It wasn't her fault she had a larger chest than most girls. Sifting through a pile that was on the floor, Twilight grabbed a pair that looked like it would fit; at least she hoped so.

She headed over to the fitting room where Spike was and started to head inside when she looked in his direction. "Spike, stay close, okay?" she said.

"Sure." he said.

"And don't look." she added before heading inside. While Twilight was changing, Spike started to think about what they were going to do next. First, they had to make it to the East Police Station to meet up with the others, after that, find their families, but what about after that? Where were they gonna go? They couldn't stay in here that's for sure. Maybe there's some kind of island or small town they could head towards. As Spike thought about their next step, Twilight was already trying on the bra she had grabbed. "Oh please don't tell me they grew overnight." she thought as she attempted to snap the hooks together. It was a tight fit, but she managed to get it on. As she looked at herself in the mirror, saw that her breasts looked as though they could bust out at anytime. Part of her, for some unknown reason, wanted to show Spike and ask him for his opinion about how it looked on her. She mentally slapped herself for even thinking about doing that and put on her new purple short sleeve shirt before grabbing Spike's own shirt and headed out of the dressing room.

"Spike?" she said softly as she approached him. "Thanks." Twilight handed him back his shirt and Spike put it back on. The two exited the store where they heard the sound of multiple guns going off. Wasting no time, they got back on the bike and drove off. They headed down the street and turned the corner where they saw a group of people shooting at zombies, flipping cars, and setting everything they could on fire.

"Not good." Spike said as he revved up the engine. "Hang on!" Twilight did just that as they accelerated as fast as they could down the street. A bald headed man noticed the two and pointed them out to the others. Another man with a crazed smile took aim at Spike and Twilight and fired; missing his shot. Spike continued to swerve around as much as he could; avoiding the zombies in the street as well as the guy with the shotgun firing at them. By some sheer miracle, the two of them made it by and continued on. "W-What was that?" Twilight asked. "Why were they firing at us?"

"The whole world's gone to hell, Twilight." Spike explained. "I don't think they care who they're shooting at." After getting away from the area, Spike and Twilight started to approach the highway when Spike made a quick detour.

"Spike, the bridge was straight ahead." Twilight said; unsure as to why he was taking a different route. Spike stopped the bike for a moment and pointed to the bridge.

"Yeah, but take a look at it." he said. Twilight did just that and gasped once she saw the gridlock of cars and people attempting cross over. "I doubt we'll be able to make it over here. Let's try another one." Spike and Twilight drove off just as signs of disorder on the bridge was started to rise.

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

On the bus, Sombra was in the middle of one of his speeches to his followers as Rarity and the others listened. "This guy's crazy." said Rarity. "He sounds like a recruiter from some religious cult, and those slobbering idiots are just taking in his every word. It's sickening just looking at them."

"We need to get across the east bridge in order to make it to the East Police Station." said Sunset. "Given the condition outside, i'd say it's clear enough for us to head there by foot."

"So what are we gonna do?" asked Cream Heart. "Should we leave now?"

"But what about the others?" Button asked; referring to Sombra and the students.

"They've made their choice." Rarity said as she crossed her arms. "Sombra has them wrapped around his finger. I highly doubt he'll allow them to leave."

"If we're going to go, then we need to leave now before the sun goes down." Sunset suggested. "We head to the East Police Station and meet up with Spike and Twilight, then we'll to whoever's home is the closest. Not much of a plan, I know, but that's all we've got for now."

"We'll most definitely run into one of those zombies, so it's best that we keep as quiet as possible when around them." Rarity added. "Aside from Sunset, none of us has any weapons or such to defend ourselves. So we have to be extra careful when out there." Everybody agreed with a nod which caught Sombra's attention. Seeing the four of them grouped together and conversing was raising his curiosity. Just what in the world were they talking about?

"Um,what's the matter you four?" he asked. "We need to work together, otherwise we'll........"

"Thanks for the offer, but we must decline." Rarity interrupted. "We have our own plans, and we don't have time to stick around here any longer than we already have. You can have the bus, we're heading out on foot." A couple of the male students had angry looks on their faces while Sombra just simply smirked.

"Very well." he said. "If you want to go then by all means, do what your hearts desires; I have no right to stop you. However......i'm afraid you must stay, Ms. Cream Heart." Cream Heart suddenly felt her heart pause for a moment while Button took a protective stance in front his mother. The creepy smile he made as he slowly walked towards them scared her. "You are the school nurse, yes? Then there's no debate, you must stay." he continued. "You have a obligation to help take care of these students. Abandoning them would be a violation of what you promised to uphold." Once Sombra was close enough, he stuck out his hand; motioning for Cream Heart to grab it, however, Button was having none of it. He stepped up to Sombra, and in one move, delivered a punch to the man's face that sent him flying onto his back.

"STAY AWAY FROM MY MOTHER, ASSHOLE!" he yelled. This gave the girls enough time to grab Cream Heart and dart out of bus. Before he left with them, he had some parting word for the teacher. "You come anywhere near her like that again. and i'll kill you myself." he threaten. "I don't give a damn WHO you are." With that, Button leapt out of the bus and ran to catch up with the others. Sombra, with a hand on his cheek, moved to sit up and growled in extreme anger.

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

It was dusk when Twilight and Spike stopped a few feet away from another bridge. Looking at it, they could see that the police had it completely blocked off. The few people who managed to get through the blockade, were met with a high pressured water cannon that either knocked them back, or knocked them over the bridge. "Oh, God." Twilight whispered.

"It's probably the same at all the other bridges too." Spike said.

"So how are we gonna get across?" she asked.

"I guess swimming across is out of the question." he said as he looked at the river. "We'll be swept away by the current the second we jump in.......unless......." Spike revved up the bike and took off.

"Spike where are we going?" Twilight asked.

"I wanna check something." he said. The two of them drove up river to where the current wasn't that strong. Spike was looking for something he knew was around here somewhere; a way to get across the river. It took about 15 minutes but they finally made it to their destination. In front of them was an old 100 year old wooden bridge they could use to get across. "There it is." Spike said as they came to a stop. Spike was glad to see that the bridge was still there and that it still looked to be intact.

"Spike, you're not seriously thinking about crossing that thing, are you?" Twilight asked.

"It's the only other way to make across." he said. "Hopefully, there's a motel or something nearby we could spend the night in."

"AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!" screamed a female voice.

"What was that?!" Twilight said alerted.

"It came from there." Spike pointed above them and saw someone running from a group of zombies. The two looked at each other and nodded; deciding to head up there to help in anyway they could. The two left the bike and ran up a small flight of stairs that took them from the river bank up towards the street. Once there they were both shocked to see Sunset and the others; Sunset fighting off the horde while everyone else stayed behind her. Wasting no time, Spike and Twilight charged with Spike slicing off the head of one with his axe, and Twilight bashing one's head in with her bat.

"Twilight, Spike!" yelled Rarity. Rarity didn't noticed that one was coming up on the side of her, and it would've grabbed her too, if not for Button tackling her to the ground; tripping it as the two of them fell. Seeing they were in trouble, Spike pulled out the revolver from the back of his pants and called out to Button. "Button, CATCH!" he yelled as he tossed towards him. Button quickly reached out a his hand and grabbed it; soon turning around towards the zombie and fired a bullet into its head. Using her bokken, Sunset smashed two more zombies in the head along with Twilight, and Spike took out the last one with one final swing of his axe.

"That's the last of'em." Spike said. "Is everyone alright?"

"More or less." Rarity said as she rose up from the ground with Button.

"I'm so glad you're all okay." Twilight said cheerfully. "But why are you guys here? What happened to the bus?"

"Due to how backed up the traffic was, we had to abandon it, along with Sombra and the others." Sunset explained. "That man started to sound like a religious cult leader with his speeches."

"That bastard needs to die." Twilight mumbled.

"So if you two are here, I take that you couldn't get across the bridge?" Sunset asked.

"Every bridge is blocked off, but we still found a way across." Spike explained. "There's an old wooden bridge just down there. It's our best chance to get across the river."

"You don't mean the one that's been there for 100 years, do you?" asked Cream Heart. "It looks as though it could give way at anytime."

"We don't have a choice, it's getting dark." said Rarity.

"Rarity's right, besides, our house is just over there, mom." Button said as he pointed. "Once we cross over, we could just head there."

"The river's starting to rise, we better hurry before it picks up." said Spike. With that, the group headed down to the river bank where they made it to the wooden bridge. One by one, they started to walk across it; hearing the sounds of the boards creaking with each step they took. Cream Heart wrapped her arms around Button; smashing her large breasts against his neck and held onto him tightly as they walked. She was terrified that it could break underneath them, and with the river starting to pick up, they could be swept away the second they fell in. In order to calm her nerves a bit, Button placed a hand over hers and held it. This caught Rarity's attention as she glanced behind to look at them.

"I don't believe it, the rumors about them are true." she thought. It took a while, due to how slowly they were moving, but the group had made it to the otherside of the river with parts of the bridge breaking apart afterwards.

"Spike, how did you know about this bridge anyway?" Sunset asked.

"When I was little, I would come play down here." he explained. "My mom would alway freak out; telling not to play on that bridge or else i'd fall in the river."

"She was right to tell you that." Cream Heart scolded. "It was only a matter of time until that bridge fell apart."

"So where's your house?" asked Twilight.

"Over this way." Button said as he led them away from the river bank and up onto the street. With sun now completely gone, the group had to now be extremely careful as they moved through the dark streets; a few street lights being their only source of light. They traveled over to the next block where they came upon a massive duplex apartment building.

"Are these two rich or something?" Rarity thought. "No way they could afford to live in a place like this on a school nurse's salary." Going through the gate, they were about to move forward when a few zombies came from nowhere. They remembered that zombies couldn't climb stairs so instead of wasting time and fighting, the just ran up the first flight of stairs they saw and headed towards Cream and Button's home; where they would be safe for the time being.
