"Oh, I... I... I do... fancy a nice bottle of cider". said Rainbow weakening

"Do you think the animals have been affected by the bomb, Rainbow? asked Fluttershy

"No, I... I shouldn't think so. They're... They're all out in the country. Supplies of milk will be maintained for the cows. It is... essential for the maintenance of...healthy bones and teeth. said Rainbow Dash

"Yes, but we live in the country, sugarcube." said Applejack as she keeps coughing

"Yes, yes, yes, I... I know, Applejack." said Rainbow Dash

"Well, the grass is all dead and funny." said Rarity

"Yes... well... I don't know. I expect there may be...a temporary containment of supplies." said Twilight Sparkle

"I suppose we'd better just sit here and wait for help to arrive." said Pinkie Pie

"Yes. The... The emergency services will have sprung into action at the first alarm signal." said Rainbow Dash

"I hope they get here before the enemy." said Rarity

"Oh, I... I hope Applebloom, Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle got back all right." worried Applejack

"Oh, they'll... they'll be all right. They'll... They'll have been safely home long... long before the bomb. Besides, Scootaloo's... a sensible filly." said Rainbow Dash

"At the first siren, he'd get the whole family down to the shelters right away." said Rarity

"There aren't any shelters since the war end in 1945, sugarcube." said Applejack

"Oh, no. No, no, I... I forgot." said Rarity

"But they'll... they'll be all right. I gave Scootaloo the governmental leaflet. She'll... She'll be all right with that." said Rainbow Dash

"That will afford him the maximum protection available to the populous." said Twilight Sparkle

"She'll... She'll take cover immediately and... adopt all the prescribed precautionary measures. She... She's no fool, our Scoots. He's not likely to get hot under the collar. She... She won't go to pieces. The whole family will...will stick together." said Rainbow Dash

"Oh! Look! There's funny spots on my hoofs". said Twilight Sparkle as she show her hoofs to Fluttershy

"Hmm, They're various veins. That's... That's what that is." said Fluttershy

"That's... That's a common complaint amongst...amongst the young-aged segment of the populous." said Pinkie Pie

"Oh, that's... that's...that's nothing to worry about." replied Applejack

"They don't look like veins to me. I don't like the look of it." said Rainbow Dash

"Oh... Oh, you are... you are a baby! You're a worn... worn...born worrier, you are, you know." said Twilight who felt angered by it.

"Now, you just try and look on the bright side, eh, Twilight? Hm?" said Rainbow Dash and then she noticed she got spots on her wings

Look! Look! I've even got funny blotches on my wings, see? And I... I'm still awesome, right? But the problem is that i will never going to fly again if the spots are not there" said Rainbow Dash sadly

"Yes... Yes, too much tinned food. That's all that is." said Applejack

"Yeah." said Pinkie

"Pilchards never did agree with me. I must put some skin lotion on those spots." said Twilight Sparkle

"Yes. Oh, they'll...they'll soon clear up. I'll pop down to the chemist...chemist in the morning. I'll get some... get some ointment." said Rainbow Dash

"Eeyup." replied Applejack

"We could do with some lozenges or pastilles, too." said Fluttershy

"I've still got a terrible throat." cried Pinkie Pie

"Yes, so have I. I wonder...if they'll be able to sell us some water." said Rainbow Dash

"I'm going to have an early night, Rainbow. We could do with a good long rest after that blessed bomb." said Rarity

"Oh, yes, yes. It's bound to take it out of you, a thing like that. Yeah, it's a... it's a shock to the system." said Rainbow Dash as her conditioning is still getting worse.

"Oh, yes. I expect so." said Applejack

Suddenly, Twilight's hair begun to fall out.

"Oh! Look! My hair's coming out!" she cried

"Don't... Don't worry, Twilight. Don't worry, don't worry. Ponies don't go bald. No! Besides, that's... That's a scientific fact." said Rainbow Dash and then her alicorn friend gets up.

"Shall we get into those paper bags again?" asked Twilight Sparkle

"Well, whatever for, Twilight?" asked Rainbow Dash

"Well, you never know. There might be another one while we're asleep." said Twilight as she slowly trotted to put on those paper bags.

"Well, I... I suppose it...wouldn't hurt. It... It would be a... a sensible precautionary m-measure in the... in the...in the circumstances. After all, really, this is an all-out war situation, and... Well, I mean, another I... IBM... might...might come over." said Rainbow Dash as she and the others walks very slowly to put on those paper bags.

"Oh, it's stuffy in these bags." she said

"Yes." replied Twilight Sparkle

"Now you know what it feels like to be a potato." laughed Pinkie Pie

"I should hate that, being buried in the ground." said Rainbow Dash

"Oh, yes. Yes, so would I. Give me... cremation every time." said Twilight Sparkle

"Oh, me too." said Applejack groaning in pain

"We'd better just stay here and wait for the... emergency services to arrive." said Rarity

"Y-y-yes. Yes, they'll... they'll take...they'll take good care of us." said Fluttershy

"We won't have to worry about...about a thing." said Pinkie Pie

"Just... Just leave everything to them. The governmental authorities...will know what to do with us. The powers that be... will get to us in the end." said Rainbow Dash as she enter the paper bags.

"You have got the box with our medical cards and birth certificates, haven't you?" asked Twilight Sparkle

"Yes, Twilight, yes. They're quite safe. said Rainbow Dash."

30 Minutes later:

Twilight has her last opportunity to say something to her friends before they all die from the radiation sickness.

"Shall we pray, everypony?" she asked

"Pray?" asked Rainbow Dash

"Yes." said Rarity

"Oh, sweet Celestia. Who... Who to? asked Rainbow Dash

"Well, God, of course." said Twilight Sparkle

"Oh... Oh, I see. Y-yes. If you think it... it... would be...would be the correct thing. Hm?" asked Rainbow Dash

"It can't do any harm, sugarcube." said Applejack

"OK. Here goes. Dear... sir." said Rainbow Dash as she begins to mess up with the words

"No, that's wrong." groaned Twilight Sparkle

"Well... How... How...How do you start?" asked Rainbow Dash

"Oh, God." said Twilight Sparkle continued to groaned in pain

"Our help... in ages past?" said Rainbow Dash confusingly

"That's it. Keep it up." said Twilight Sparkle

"You go, Dash." said Pinkie Pie

Rainbow Dash is continuing to struggle with her words "Almighty and most merciful Father..."

"Oh, that's good." said Applejack

"Lord saviors, we are gathered...u-u-unto thee... I shall fear no evil. Thy rod...and thy staff...comfort me all... the days...the days of my life. L-Lay me down... in...in green pastures...I... I can't remember any more." said Rainbow Dash

"That was nice. I liked the bit about the green pasture." said Rarity

"Oh, oh, yes, yes." said the now dying Rainbow Dash

Then Rainbow Dash is now beginning to finish off with the quote from the Charge of the Light Brigade.

"Into the valley of the shadow of death..." and before she could say anything else, her friends told her to stop.

No more, Dash! No...no more! said Twilight, Pinkie, Applejack, Fluttershy and Rarity

Then, Rainbow Dash said her final words "Rode...the six hundred".

The Mane 6 has died from radiation sickness. Their bodies were cold as ever before.

As the sunlight begins to return with higher ultraviolet range, Discord return from the other dimension to check the damage of Ponyville.

"Oh my words, these bombs really caused huge destruction" he said.

He wents to Twilight's Castle, the roof was damaged, including the door. So he went inside to check on the Mane 6, he then noticed Paper in the shelter.

"Hmm. I wonder what that could be?" he curiously talks to himself.

He got the bags out and then! Guess what he had saw. Twilight Sparkle, Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Fluttershy and Rarity. He tries to wake them up, but he realized that his six friends has died from the blast. Discord begins to cry. so he takes the Mane 6's body for burial. The Mane 6' grave is now filled up with flowers and roses. and Discord went home in deep mourning. Knowing that life in Equestria would never be the same again.
