Extraction
Throne Room
Previous ChapterNext ChapterMeeting with Princess Celestia was supposed to be fun, and exciting. Twilight wanted to share as many things with her as she could. Things about her school, her students, and everything in between. Yet, she was invited to spend time with Celestia and Luna not for fun, but to attend a meeting. A meeting, that had very little to do with fun, or excitement, or anything in between.
She sat next to Celestia and Luna in the gigantic throne room, where multiple other ponies were standing in front of them, far below the steps of the thrones. Twilight felt odd that she was standing so high, and was regarded as such. She thought she would've gotten used to the regal life of being a Princess, but she hadn't.
She seriously wanted something to shut up the noble that was droning on and on about pointless subjects. She really couldn't understand how Celestia or Luna were able to do this on a day to day basis. She was impressed, and slightly concerned for their mental health. Surely doing this every single day was going to have some sort of negative effect on them, right?
BOOM!
Twilight covered her eyes as a flash of light occurred. She readied her horn with a spell, ready to attack anything that had caused the incident. Once she regained her vision, Twilight then saw something that was quite appalling, to say the least. Standing on top of the boring noble was..
A human, of sorts? She had never seen anything like it before, but she knew it definitely looked human. It wore black clothes, with a helmet with two crimson-red eyes. In its hand it held some sort of weapon. At least, that's what she had assumed. She had only ever seen humans from the mirror, but never had they appeared in Equestria, nor looked like this one.
This was not good news, was it?
Hunk aimed his rifle up at the odd creatures standing in front of him, refusing to step off of the creature he was currently on top of. Keeping his rifle raised, he spoke into the small microphone inside of the helmet. "Nighthawk, are you there? This is Hunk, do you read me?"
Static only played in his ears.
He was alone, and definitely not where he used to be. Yet, even in such a strange situation, the only thing that ran through his mind was to get the G-Virus to extraction, and get the hell out of here. Questioning was a luxury, one that he couldn't afford. He quickly sweeped the room with his rifle from his position, before seeing a multitude of more creatures standing behind him, all with spears.
Not regular creatures. Horses. Unicorns. Pegasus. Myth.
A second later, a blinding flash of light occurred right next to him, followed by a blood-gurgled groan, and something grabbing onto him. Hunk, who was still blind, shoved whatever was off of him and raised his rifle towards it. Within a second, his vision was regained.
A zombie.
It laid on the floor, looking up at him. It's law was dislocated and swinging about, it's mouth spilling out a steady streak of rotted blood, and it's limbs were looking as if they were able to be snapped like twigs. Without hesitation, he fired a multitude of rounds into it's head until he heard a sickening crack.
He raised his rifle to the horses that surrounded him, each of them watching him with wide eyes, likely afraid.
"Nighthawk, this is Hunk. Do you read me?" He tried once more, but nothing came.
"S-Sir-" Hunk immediately aimed his rifle at the purple horse sitting up on the pedestal, to which it yelped slightly from his sudden movement. He slowly began to back up, making a mental note of each step he took, whilst keeping his rifle on the purple horse.
"It killed it." The larger, blue horse stated, staring at him with strange intent. Intent, that he didn't want to know.
He turned around, and began to sprint out of the room towards the giant doors, running straight past the guards that were supposed to stop him. With all of his might, he crashed into it with his shoulder, sending one of the doors flying open. He scanned his surroundings quickly, trying to find an immediate way out.
Survival was his responsibility now.
Author's Note
Test story, in all honesty.
Short chapters. Oh, and if you don't know who hunk is, I really, really urge you to look him up. Or, simply look up the RE2 Remake Hunk scenario. That shit will get your blood pumping pretty damn fast.
