Warning!
This story is not for younger audiences. This isn't as gruesome as Cupcakes but I have this warning just in case.

Also wanted to point out this is my first MLP fanfic, let alone a MLP grimdark fanfic so critiques are allowed. Hopefully I don't regret saying that.

The Zombified Dragon

The ponies made it to the Ponyville Hospital. As they were about to enter, Doctor Horse and Nurse Redheart busted out scaring the ponies.

“Aaaaaahhhhh!” they screamed.

“What on Earth are you ponies doing?!” Doctor Horse exclaimed. “Can’t you see there’s a zombie apocalypse out there?!”

“We came here to see if you can help Spike.” said Twilight. “He got bit by Zecora. We went to her hut to see if she had some way to stop the apocalypse but it turns out she was a zombie herself.”

“She’s one of them too?” asked Redheart.

…

“Come inside.” said Doctor Horse.

The ponies rushed inside the hospital desperate to save Spike. Everypony gathered around as Twilight set the dragon on the bed.

“Give him some air.” said Doctor Horse.

“Uggh.” Spike groaned.

“It’s okay Spike. You’re going to be okay.” Twilight said worriedly.

Doctor Horse started to closely inspect Spike. Minutes of inspecting later, he got nothing.

“I’m sorry Twilight.” Doctor Horse said sadly. “There’s nothing I can do about this. Zombie apocalypses are out of my league.”

Twilight let out sigh. *sigh* “Well, thanks anyway Doc.”

Twilight and her gang slowly exited the hospital.

“Well now what?” asked Rarity.

Twilight looked at the sick, poor dragon. The dragon that has been at her side, her number one assistant, her adopted younger brother.

“I’m not sure.” Twilight said sadly.

Suddenly, an idea popped into the alicorn’s head.

“Guys, I have an idea!” Twilight said excitedly.

“Um, Twilight.” said Fluttershy.

“We can go back to my library.” said Twilight. “I may have a book about zombie apocalypses.”

“Pardon me, but-”

“That sounds great Twilight.” said Applejack. “Come y’all, lets…”

“GUYS!!” shouted Fluttershy.

Everypony turned their eyes to Fluttershy.

“There’re zombies surrounding us.” said the yellow pegasus in a scared manner.

The rest of the ponies quickly realized that there were zombies surrounding them from all corners.

“Quickly Twilight, teleport us to your library!” exclaimed Rainbow Dash

And she did just that.

The ponies arrived at the library. Twilight then set Spike on his bed.

“Okay, while I look for a book, you girls look after Spike alright.” explained Twilight.

“Right.” said the other five.

Twilight rushed to her library looking for a book to cure Spike. Few minutes of searching later, Twilight found the book she needed. She quickly rushed her way back to her friends.

“Girls, I found the book we need!” Twilight said in excitement.

“Wow, that’s great.” said Fluttershy.

“So what do we have to do?” asked Pinkie Pie

Twilight then began to read the contents. While reading out loud, a groaning noise was heard.

“What was that?” asked Rainbow Dash.

“Well it wasn’t my tummy I’ll tell you that.” said Pinkie Pie.

The noise seemed to be coming from Spike. The ponies turned their heads towards the dragon and saw what he had turned into.

“Spike?” said Twilight.

Spike stood in a crooked position. His pale body and soulless green eyes intimidating the six ponies. Without hesitation, the zombified dragon then leaped at the six ponies. Seconds later, the Mane Six were now one of them.

We Have to Save Equestria

*Meanwhile at Canterlot*

“I hope Twilight and the others know what they’re doing.” said Celestia.

“Surely they do.” Luna confirmed. “They fought off the changelings, Tirek, Chrysalis, and Cozy Glow. Surely they can fight off zombies.”

“I mean sure the changelings and those three were worse than zombies, but zombies can infect other ponies. I hope they’re safe.”

“I don’t know sister. It’s been a good three hours. They’re either hiding somewhere safe or… well… If you know, you know.”

“No… NO!! They are NOT one of them! They can’t be.”

“Your majesties, open up! It’s me! One of the royal guards!”

Celestia quickly opened the door letting the guard in. She then quickly barricaded the door again.

“What’s wrong?” asked Celestia.

“While searching for Twilight and the others I found them roaming around as zombies.” said the royal guard.

“No… it can’t be.”

“I’m sorry your majesties, but that’s the truth.”

“Celestia, we have to stop the zombie apocalypse.” said Luna. “We have to save everypony. We have to save Twilight and the gang.”

“We have to save Equestria.” Celestia and Luna said at the same time.

“Alright sister, let’s head out!” Celestia said in her royal voice. “But first we should head to the Canterlot Library. There might be books on how to stop this.”

The End of the Story Part 2

“That’s it?!” Fluttershy said in a scared manner.

“Yep.” Twilight said as she closed the book. “What did you all think about the story?”

“I like stories that end off with cliffhangers.” Spike said. “Really got my heart racing.”

“Same here.” said Rainbow Dash. “I’m not going to say that this story isn’t as good as the Daring Do stories but it definitely isn’t worse than the Daring Do stories. “That was an awesome story, Twilight.”

“Well I’m glad you all liked it. Oh, and sorry if I scared you Fluttershy.”

“Oh no I’m fine Twilight. Though I will say I’d rather it leave on a cliffhanger than something bad to happen.”

“Alright then. I think we should all get some rest. Sleepovers don’t last forever. “Good night everyone.”

“Good night.” they all replied.

As the seven friends were about to go to bed, a groaning sound was heard outside of Twilight’s house.

“What in tarnation was that?” Applejack asked.

“Well it wasn’t my tummy I’ll tell you that.” said Pinkie Pie.

“It sounded like it was coming from outside.” said Twilight

As the alicorn took a peek out the window, goosebumps started to form.

“Um... guys.” Twilight said as she was shaking. “An infection has started.”

The Bite of the Zebra

A zombie apocalypse is spreading over Ponyville. Twilight and her gang are rushing their way to the Everfree Forest.

“Come on guys.” Twilight said. “Maybe Zecora knows some kind of cure to stop the zombie apocalypse.”

“Do you really think Zecora can mix up a cure to stop this?” asked Applejack. “There’s like hundreds of infected ponies out there.”

“Applejacks right.” agreed Rainbow Dash. “Zecora would have no time to make hundreds of potions for hundreds of ponies.”

“We’ll figure something out.” said Twilight. “Now let’s hurry!”

Eventually, the gang made it to Zecora’s. Twilight began to knock on the door. However, when she placed her hoof against the door, the door gently slid open.

“Okay…” said Twilight in a confused way.

As they entered the hut, Zecora was there, standing in the corner back shown.

“Oh Zecora!” exclaimed Twilight. “Thank Celestia we found you! There’s a zombie apocalypse going around and we’re wondering if you know a cure for this.”

Zecora didn’t respond.

“Aw, no need to be scared.” said Pinkie Pie. “Sure zombie apocalypses are scary, but you’re the wisest creature we know when it comes to these things.”

“If anyone knows how to stop a zombie apocalypse, you would be our creature of choice.” said Fluttershy.

Still no response from Zecora.

“Zecora dear, your hair truly is a mess.” stated Rarity. “Luckily for you, I can fix that problem.”

“Not the time for that Rarity!” exclaimed Applejack. “Nopony cares about what anypony's hair looks like! Especially during a zombie apocalypse!”

“Suit yourself then.”

Again, no response from Zecora.

“Zecora?” Spike said, approaching her.

As Spike approached Zecora, the wise zebra, messy-haired, pure white eyes, filled with scratches quickly turned around a bit Spike right in the arm.

“Aaaaaahhhhh!!” Spike shouted.

“Spike!” exclaimed Twilight.

As Zecora was about to pounce on the ponies, Twilight quickly teleported them out of Zecora’s hut, barricading the front door with boulders.

“We need to get out of here and head to a hospital now!” exclaimed Rainbow Dash.

“Let me teleport us there.” Twilight said quickly.

The End of the Story Part 1

Celestia and Luna arrived at the library. They quickly entered and barricaded the door. The princesses quickly began to search for the book they needed.

“Got anything Luna?” Celestia asked.

“Nope, nothing.” she replied.

Few minutes of searching later, Celestia found the book she needed.

“I got it!” Celestia said in excitement.

“That’s great.” said Luna. “So what do we have to do?”

Celestia began to read the contents.

“Well that sounds simple enough.” said Luna.

“Mmhmm. It even works on non-ponies.”

The princesses headed out of the library to stop the apocalypse.

The princesses flew their way to Ponyville, finding their number one priority, Twilight and her gang, zombified and slowly approaching them.

“We’re gonna need more help to stop the apocalypse. These seven are our only source of help.” said Celestia. “Get ready with the potions sister!”

As Luna raised the potions with her horn, an unexpected attack from the zombified dragon, Spike, leaped at her.

“Aaaaaahhhhh!!” Luna shouted as she kicked the zombified dragon back to the six ponies.

Though Luna avoided the attack, it caused her to let go of the potions and dropped them. Glass shattered on the floor with pink liquid spewing out.

“Oh no! The potions!” Luna exclaimed. “What do we do now?!”

“We can’t take them out, we mustn't.” Celestia said. “They’re still the Elements of Harmony. They’re the ones who saved Equestria more times than I can remember. Taking them out wouldn’t be right.”

“We’ll just have to go back and make more potions.” Luna stated.

As the princesses flew back to make more potions, zombified pegasi surrounded them from all corners. The princesses were trapped. They couldn’t fly up nor down. They couldn’t fly forwards nor backwards. They were trapped.
