"What the fuck...!?" A man grabbed his chest as he looked around and saw that he was in a pitch black convenience store. He could hear low, animalistic grunts and what sounded like… a horse? This was one of our protagonists, Marcus. And he is in one strange predicament right now. He thought he went to bed after getting some food from the grill, but now he is in a gas station and god knows where and it looked like it was just abandoned yesterday. He looks to his left to see a flashlight and picks it up.

"No one's around?" He said confused until he heard shuffling and a groan from what seemed to be a storage closet. He approached it and opened it slowly only for a fist to come in contact with his jaw. He staggered back as he then looked up to see a mare with blue hair and dark blue fur. She had a horn on her head and wings on her back and a muzzle. She was about to strike him again until he grabbed her hand.

“Let go vile beast!” She yelled at him with an impossibly loud voice.

“Hold on, what are you?” he said as he let her go. She grabbed her wrist and snarled at him. This is our second protagonist, Luna. After Discord decided to play a prank on her and send her to another world. They both looked at each other for a brief amount of time, until something caught both of their attention. A foul stench.

“Do you smell that?”

“Indeed, what is that stench?” He sniffs under his armpit and verifies it wasn't him. They both tracked down the stench until they came to another room. What they saw terrified them both. The sound of chewing was heard as a police officer laid on the ground, being eaten by a rotting, grotesque, and downright terrifying being. It looks up at the both of them with its glossy eyes as it groaned. It got up and staggered towards them as Marcus made his first move. Now he might be a bit of a coward, but he ain't no coward to zombies. He kicked it in its face and headed to the police officer’s gun and saw it was a Desert Eagle 50A.E. He pulled back the slide, saw a chambered round before ejecting the magazine and finding it to be shy three rounds of nine. He then saw the zombie heading for Luna as she was paralyzed and terror was visible on her face.

“Get down!” He said as she ducked. He shot the thing in the head as Brain matter splattered everywhere as he then shot the officer in the head. He did not need another one to kill and he remembered something from his own sister. Double tap and save bullets.

“Thank you monkey.” Luna said as Marcus' mind raced as he looked at her offended.

‘AW HELL NAW!’ Marcus thought to himself.

“I’m actually a human but a highly evolved ape. My name is Marcus. Yours?” He asked as he stuck out his hand for a handshake. She shook his hand with an impossibly tight grip and shook his hand.

“My name is Luna. Where are we?” She asked as he shrugged. Suddenly, zombies started to bang on the window as he then looked around as he grabbed her hand and ran.

“C’mon this way!” He said as they raced to the entrance. One zombie grabbed his arm as he then elbowed it in the face and ran to a cop car. They both got in as the zombies slowly stumbled towards the vehicle.

“What are those horrid things!?” Luna yelled as they started to swarm the vehicle. He then found the keys and started up the car and drove out of there.

“Those miss, are zombies. Re animated corpses of humans that have an insatiable appetite for flesh.” He explained. He then saw a city along with a sign. He then squinted until he gotten closer it read:

WELCOME TO RACCOON CITY.

HOME OF UMBRELLA

Suddenly, it all started to make sense. He then started to sweat. If there's zombies, there's the Lickers, Hunters, and Mr.X.

“Ah shit umbrella.” Luna looked confused at him.


“Attention all citizens. Due to the citywide outbreak, you are advised to take shelter at the Raccoon City police station. Free food and medical supplies will be provided to everyone in need.” An announcer said over speakers. The whole entire city was empty and dark as cars littered the streets.

“So, where did you come from? I know you are not from this world, and neither am I”

“I come from Equestria. And somehow Discord sent me here as a practical joke.” She looked a bit angry at the last part. He then stopped the car because of cars blocking the way to the police station.

“Well it looks like we’ll have to climb over those cars.” He gets out of the car as Luna does the same. He then climbed on top of the car and stretched out his hand to help Luna. she looked at his hand for a moment before grabbing it. They then both approached the police station. He closed the gate behind him.

“Why did you close it?” Luna asked.

“Do you want your backmeat munched on by the zombies?” She shakes her head “Well there's your answer.”

They then approached the police station as they both had stopped at the door and looked at each other. They both knew that there was no turning back. He then opened the door as he then scanned the area, checking for zombies. He then signified her to come in. He got some herbs, first aid spray, and some ammo. Luna followed him to a mechanical garage door. He then popped in a fuse as he then pressed the button. As he expected, it stopped midway.

“Luna stay here”

“Why?” She asked.

“Well i don’t know what's beyond and I don't want you to get hurt. And besides, you don't have a gun.” Luna looked confused.

“I have magic.” Her horn lit up but then sputtered out and died. “I-I can't use my magic!”

“Like I said, I don't want your pretty face to get hurt.” Her eyes widened a bit as a blush was barely visible.

“You think I'm pretty?” Marcus nodded as he then crawled under the garage door. Luna then sat down and looked around. Only one thing came to mind:

‘I’m going to kill discord when I get back.’
