With multiple guards trying to stop him from his sprint, he wondered why they would try to stop him. Do they not understand? The zombies? The abominations? They seem to only focus on him, before being overtaken by the zombies chasing him. Pathetic.

Even with the continuous static that played back to him, Hunk continued to try to contact Nighthawk.

"Stop!" A unicorn shouted at him from far down the hallway. Hunk slowed his pace slightly to examine his opponent more. It was a regular unicorn like the rest, but with different armor, and a shield on his flank. He summoned a blue barrier in front of himself and the rest of the hallway. Hunk aimed his rifle towards the barrier, and fired a couple of rounds into it.

It shattered like glass.

"Wha-" Hunk used the butt of his rifle to smack the unicorn on the side of his head, sending the unicorn onto the floor. A scream came from behind him as he did so, from the same purple pony from before. She stared at Hunk, her eye's wide in shock.

"Shining!"

Hunk backed up quickly, keeping his rifle aimed up at the purple pony, his eye's darting around himself, before rounding the corner and continuing his sprint. Though he was met only with more opposition on the other side, which definitely complicated things more than Hunk needed.

"You took down the commander!"

"No time for discussion- take him out!"

Multiple ponies charged him, with spears, or magical blasts that were sent flying his way. Hunk let go of his sub machine gun, letting it fall to his side with the strap, and grabbed at the shotgun on his back. He cocked the shotgun, and steadied it on his shoulder before firing in the lower region of the oncoming guards.

With a single blast, most of them were laying on the floor in agony.

Though that didn't mean Hunk got away without injury. At the last moment, a unicorn sent a lethal fire spell at him, which hit his shoulder. Hunk grunted in pain, patting it down until the fire stopped. It was definitely painful, but as said before, he didn't have luxury to think of it.

Hunk stepped over the crying ponies, before making his way further into the castle, trying to figure out where he was going. In all honesty, he was just running without direction. As long as he was moving, he wouldn't die. At-least, that's how it worked in the P.D.

He made into a larger room, which seemed to be a dining hall. It looked more royal than the cafeteria, that was for sure. Hunk could see multiple ponies run from his direction, only for one female earth pony to be stopped in her tracks when a flash of light occurred in front of her. She backed away from the zombie that appeared from thin air, before it lunged at her.

Hunk aimed his shotgun up, and cocked it once again before firing directly into its skull. A sickening crack could be heard as the body fell to the floor limp, blood and grey matter spilling from its open head, it's rotted eyes flowing along with the blood. The horrified pony was curled onto the floor, before seeing the dead zombie.

It looked at Hunk.

Hunk only looked at her for a second, before continuing his sprinting pace.
