Extraction
Drive!
Previous ChapterNext Chapter"Your sarcasm isn't going to get you anywhere. I don't need you to survive, but we'd be better off with eachother. Don't mistake yourself as a high priority to me. You don't know what's going on, and to a certain extent neither do I. Yet I know much more than you do." He said, eyeing Twilight, causing her to recoil back slightly in confusion.
Hunk continued. "These creatures you'll be fighting aren't going to stop once you hit them a couple times. Obliteration of the skull will kill them, as I said before, but nothing else will do the trick. We need to move somewhere-"
Suddenly, a guard ran into the room, holding a spear and a vial in his telekinesis, clearly out of breath. "P-Princess'!"
Both Princess Celestia and Luna stood up after being addressed by the guard who was obviously in distress. Hunk didn't keep his eyes off of the vial, staring at it while the rest of the guards got close to the pony to check for injuries. "T-They seem to be attracted to this!" He said, levitating the vial higher in the air.
That confirmed Hunk's suspicion.
Hunk jumped up and grabbed the vial, causing a few of the guards to back up. He brought it close to his mask, identifying the official marking of the vial.
[W. Birkin]
[Experimental Serum]
[G-Virus]
A new mission objective formed in Hunks mind as he stared at the vial. To protect the vial, and get it to extraction. He knew that he had aroused suspicion by grabbing at the vial so suddenly, so he presented the vial to everyone in the room, holding it high in the air. "This is the key to removing the monsters from your world, but you do not have the expertise to do so-" Suddenly the vial tugged into a random direction as if it was being pulled by a magnet.
"I need to follow it..." Hunk told himself, staring down at the vial. He glanced up at Celestia and Luna, along with the other guards, and shook his head. He wasn't going to make it with them- classic royalty complex with guards who do anything they say. Along with a small student who isn't made of royalty material, but is probably used in other ways. Hunk took a quick scan around the room before staring at the exit.
He then bolted out of the room.
"STOP HIM!" He heard Celestia yell from behind as he pushed past many of the guards, kicking the exit open and flinging himself into the hallway filled with plenty of zombies. He quickly deposited the vial into one of his many pockets lined on his chest, and kept his shotgun close to himself. He felt the vial tug forwards in his pocket, causing him to follow its directions and run straight ahead.
Exactly where plenty of the zombies were.
He pulled his shotgun into his shoulder and ran right in front of a zombie, almost letting the barrel touch the rotten skin that used to be its lips before pulling the trigger, a deafening blast echoing off the marble walls that were soon coated in grey matter and blood. Hunk shoved the body to the side and continued with his running.
He could hear plenty of guards behind him, and even Celestia who was also apparently in the chase. He quickly turned around and shot a random shot at knee-level, seemingly striking Celestia in the legs in the distance. He didn't have time to confirm if he hit her or not, and instead kept running.
The hallways became more confusing as he ran, but the vial told him exactly where to go. The guard from earlier was correct in his suspicions; it was attracting the zombies towards himself. It served as a double-edged sword though as it seemed to create a wall behind him to prevent Celestia or any of her guards from getting him.
The vial suddenly tugged to his right hard, and he followed its command. He entered a room that was lined with chariots, the end of the room being open-faced off the cliff. This was some sort of vehicle transportation room, and there was only one pegasus in the room.
He ran to the pegasus and forced his shotgun into the poor pony's face. "Start driving."
"Wh-"
"You drive, or you die! Get!" Hunk yelled, causing the pegasus to quickly mount himself onto one of the chariots. Dozens of zombies started to flood the room from the small entrance, which only caused the pegasus to move faster. It seemed to Hunk that this pegasus was the emergency driver for any of the chariots in case of an emergency, and he had been simply waiting for someone to show up.
A few seconds later, and with Hunk in the back of the chariot, they were off into the air.
It floated effortlessly in the sky, even with a singular pony pulling it. The familiar feeling of uneasiness and imbalance in the air was removed, probably from some magical enchantment in the chariot. As Hunk looked back towards the castle, he could see a golden beam off in the distance, blowing multiple human bodies off the cliff.
Seemed like Celestia wasn't exactly happy with the zombies, or Hunk.
The tugging in his pocket from the vial stopped for the time being. Hunk turned to the front of the Chariot, checking the pegasus out finally. He was a brown plain pegasus with black hair, his cutie-mark being that of a wooden wheel. Compared to all of the colorful ponies within the world, he got the most boring one.
He shrugged. Who cared.
