Chapter I: End of Civilization

The city of Canterlot is in total shambles. One day, everything was peaceful and quiet. The next… the dead were coming back to life, seemingly out of the blue. Like pouring gas to a flame, chaos ignited within Canterlot, covering the city within the span of a day. Most of everyone gathered what they could and attempted to flee the city which only spread the chaos even further as the undead quickly grew in numbers. Within a few days, the entire city was overrun.

It had all started one spring day when a certain curious and nerdy girl by the name of Twilight Sparkle was experimenting with strange magic she had discovered not long after the disastrous Friendship Games. Being consumed by magic and being turned into a demon didn't seem to have taught the young woman a lesson, but that didn't stop her from being curious. But then all of a sudden, the device she had this magic sample contained in experienced a malfunction due to unknown causes, causing the magic to escape and morph into the nearest living thing, that of course being Twilight. Instead of being turned into a she-demon once more, something else happened instead, something worse. She was killed. And moments later, what had awoken and risen from the floor of her bedroom was no longer Twilight, but rather an undead corpse with glowing white eyes and slightly paler skin.

And now, almost a week after everything went to hell in a handbasket, four survivors are all that remain as far as they knew, having been smart enough to wait out the beginning of the chaos.

“Sunset, how much food do we still have?” Ashana asked her adopted big sister.

“With all four of us, what we have left won’t last more than two days,” Sunset replied.

Ashana was a twi’lek and for as long as she could remember, she was raised on Earth and had ended up here with no knowledge as to how and why. But it was one fall day eighteen years ago that she was discovered in a basket in the woods of the Everfree Forest just outside city limits. All she had as a reminder of where she came from is her lightsaber, and.. Well.. herself, since she’s not exactly human, but rather a humanoid. Ashana had cyan skin with pink hued eyes, her choice of clothing is a white collared sleeveless shirt over a fire orange t-shirt with purple jeans flowing into purple boots that went three quarters up her calf.

Her adopted big sister, Sunset, was of course human as was the rest of their group. Sunset was 28 years old and had a career as a famous musician, but after the death of her parents, she put her tour at the time on hold so as to look after Ashana, as the young twi'lek was then and now the only family she had left.

The other members of their group were women by the names of Luna and Celestia. Luna was the former vice principal of Canterlot High, the 33 year old also happened to be Sunset's wife.

Celestia was 36 years old, and the former head principal of Canterlot High. Celestia had a plump and beautifully curvaceous mature figure that could put an adult film star to shame, complete with an hourglass figure, a dump truck booty that was as soft and squishy as dough, and a pair of full and luscious breasts. The older woman took her career very seriously, just as seriously as her relationship to Ashana, which was quite the shock to everyone when they made it public. Sure, a principal dating one of her students was incredibly frowned upon, but the two women went through the proper legal steps and they both now have documents from the mayor herself that proves their relationship is perfectly legal and fully consensual. Regardless that the young twi'lek was half her age, Celestia loved Ashana very much, and they sure had fun together as girlfriends.

"And to think the military ran off to who knows where, leaving all of us to die," Celestia spoke up.

During the initial start of the apocalypse, the military thought they could contain it but were sorely mistaken. And when they realized this, they panicked and ran away, leaving everyone in the city to die. At the first sign of trouble, they abandoned the people they swore an oath to protect so as to protect themselves.

"Well let's get going then. I'm not sure how many of those things are out there, but I suppose we're about to find out," Luna said, clutching her metal baseball bat.

Each of them had their own choice of melee weapons as they didn't dare try to find a gun shop during the dawn of the apocalypse as it was far too chaotic and even now it's not likely there would be much left, but it was worth a shot to check out. Luna had a bat, Celestia had a katana she had acquired not long after she had graduated college and hadn't used it until now, Sunset had her electric guitar, and Ashana had her lightsaber which had been with her since she was found as a baby.

Preparing themselves, Sunset moved the spare sofa she had placed in front of the door, unlocked it, and opened the door as they all walked out into the lobby with Sunset shutting it after them. Regrouping in the lawn of Sunset and Ashana's simple one story house, they looked out to see a sight that had remained the same for almost a week. Cars and bodies littered the streets with various pillars of smoke still rising throughout the city. Knowing that the best move was to leave Sunset's car behind as it would most likely draw unwanted attention, the four survivors decided to head out on foot to scavenge for any supplies.

Going right, they made their way down the street, looking over the various corpses and damaged vehicles, recognizing some and not being able to make out others. Passing by one of the houses on their block though, Ashana did identify two corpses that were pretty mangled in the front lawn.

"It's a shame Fudge and his mother didn't survive," Ashana commented, stopping briefly to look over their partially devoured corpses. "Even though he went to a different school, he always cared about everyone regardless of their school. His mother certainly raised a gentleman."

"He certainly was a bright young man," Luna added. "One of the top students at Crystal Prep second only to Twilight from what Cadence has told me when we last talked."

Before she stood back up, Ashana collected Fudge and Lavender's lightsabers with the intent that they be taken care of and put to good use and kept them in her back pants pockets for the time being.

"Hmm. Cocoa's not here. Hopefully she either managed to survive or is dead like them so she doesn't have to suffer as one of those zombie freaks," Sunset commented.

Continuing their trek down the street, they came across a wrecked police convoy with the trunks of each vehicle wide open. Agreeing to make another pit stop, they looked through the trunks, and to their surprise, they found rifles, shotguns, and pistols with quite a bit of ammunition to top it all off. How this stockpile wasn't raided by now is baffling, but that mattered little. They each took a gun of their choosing and a good portion of ammo for each. Sunset and Luna both took an M16 assault rifle, Celestia took an auto shotgun, and Ashana just took two Glock 19 semi-auto pistols as she preferred to use her lightsaber.

Aside from the guns and ammunition, another trunk also had molotov cocktails and pipe bombs.

"Damn, we hit the jackpot," Sunset commented, looking down the sight of her new rifle. "I don't know if this was from the police station or a raid, but it's now our good fortune. We should take what we can. Not too much or it'll weigh us down."

After they each grabbed a molotov and a pipe bomb, they continued their journey to the grocery store to hopefully get as much food as they can. Getting further into the city, they decided to weave through back alleys so as to stay off the streets and out of the open as much as possible. They of course knew they'd be discovered eventually, but that doesn't mean they can't still be careful.

Walking down one of the city's dark alleys, the quartet came across an odd sight. And boy was the smell revolting.

"Oh-.. they smell worse when they're actually dead," Sunset commented, covering her nose and mouth.

One of the corpses appeared to have had its entire top half blown off.

"Eugh. Let's keep moving," Luna spoke, pinching her own nose.

Moving along, an audible scream cut through the air and the quartet sprinted to find the source of the scream. Going down another alley, they found what caused the scream: a young woman, sitting on the ground while leaning against one of the brick walls, a hand over the area between the left shoulder and the neck, a sign that she had just been bitten as the wound was oozing blood.

"Cocoa?" Ashana spoke up, identifying and getting the attention of the young woman clutching her bleeding wound.

"He-.. cough, Hey, A-Ashana. Good to.. see you guys made it this.. far. So much for.. me though.." Cocoa sputtered, her words catching in her throat as she continued to bleed out, the infection beginning to take hold of her.

"I wish we could have found you sooner though," Ashana responded, crouching in front of her dying friend.

"Don't… worry about me. But… be cough careful. The zombies.. they're getting.. smarter. Like the one… cough.. that just bit me. It.. it was, following me. Please… kill me. I don't… want to become one of them.." Cocoa croaked, now coughing blood.

Before Ashana could speak again, Cocoa lazily reached out her own lightsaber to the twi'lek, to which Ashana took it in her hand. She really didn't wanna take her friend's life while she was still breathing, but she knew that Cocoa didn't have long, and it would only be moments after her death that she would reanimate as a zombie. So as she clutched the saber in her hand tightly, she placed the emitter against Cocoa's forehead as the young woman closed her eyes.

"Goodbye, Cocoa," Ashana said as she ignited the lightsaber, the indigo blue blade piercing Cocoa's skull, putting her into an eternal sleep and ending her suffering. Moments after deactivating the lightsaber, Ashana fell completely to her knees, the weight of having taken a human life hitting her like a bus.

"Ashana, sweetheart, I know it hurts, but we have to keep going. If we survive, her death and everyone else's won't be for nothing. As long as we live on, so do the memories of them," Celestia commented, placing a hand on her girlfriend's shoulder.

Recollecting herself, Ashana stood back up and took a deep breath.

"You're right," Ashana responded, keeping what Luna had said in her mind. "Here. Take Cocoa's lightsaber. Sunset and Luna… take Fudge and Lavender's. You'll need them whenever you run out of ammo."

As they collected the sabers, a faint growling noise caught their attention and looking down the alley, they spotted a group of zombies at the end of it, their eyes glowing a bright white.

"Uh oh. Looks like we got company," Sunset spoke.

Some of the zombies let out a shriek and began running toward the survivors. And before they could get within a few feet of the survivors, Ashana ignited her fire orange lightsaber and threw it with the force, cutting each of the zombies' heads off with precision. Within seconds, all of the zombies were decapitated.

"Well… nevermind," Celestia commented as Ashana pulled her saber back to her and deactivated it.

"We need to hurry," Ashana said, taking the lead. But just before they got to the edge of the alley leading out into the streets, a faint but audible sound caused the twi'lek to stop dead in her tracks as the others followed suit.

"What is it, Ashana?" Sunset asked.

"Shh," Ashana responded, holding up a finger. "Do you hear that?"

Although they didn't catch it at first, Sunset, Luna, and Celestia soon took note of what caused Ashana to pause and dawned worried expressions themselves. The sound was that of repeated thumping on the ground, almost like if a gorilla was loose in the streets. As Ashana peeked around the corner, what she saw was definitely not a gorilla. There, in the middle of the intersection several yards away, was a big hulking monstrosity, pounding its massive trunk-like fists on the ground as it walked down one of the other streets.

"I think that was one of the new zombies that Cocoa was talking about, but I can't say for certain. That thing was massive. Boy I'd hate to get that thing's attention. It'd probably take more ammo than what we've got to take it down," Ashana spoke in a somewhat quiet tone.

"Like some kind of zombie tank or something? Oh great," Luna grunted. "The supermarket shouldn't be too far, right?"

"No. Just a half a mile to go. But since that big guy is around now, we need to take extreme caution. All hell's gonna break loose if we get its attention," Ashana responded.

"Ok. Let's get out onto the sidewalk, but be careful. Stay sharp," Ashana continued.

Slipping out onto the sidewalk, the quartet made their way across the intersection while trying to be as quiet as possible so as to not alert the big guy. Getting over to the other side, they kept going until Luna felt something grab her ankle, causing her to stumble.

"Gah!" Luna shouted, igniting the lime green blade of Lavender's lightsaber and cutting at whatever had grabbed her ankle without thinking, and also cut into the vehicle this arm had come out from underneath, setting off its alarm.

"Oh shit," Sunset croaked as a loud roar cut through the air as the big guy had turned around and beat his chest with his fists and then pounded them on the ground. If that wasn't terrifying enough, a loud howling sound soon followed as a large group of the undead began running towards them on the end of the street behind them. "To the left! Go!"

The quartet of survivors made a run for it down the street to their left as the horde pursued them as well as the big guy, shooting at the undead when they could. The regular zombies that were shot were killed instantly, and the big guy was unphased. In fact, the bullets that hit him only seemed to anger him further. Remembering they had grenades, Sunset quickly took out her pipe bomb, used Fudge's lightsaber to ignite the fuse, pressed the button to activate the beeping, and threw it at the horde. For the most part it worked, drawing in the regular zombies as they clawed at the little ticking bomb. The only one still pursuing the survivors was of course the big guy who then slammed his fists into the road, ripping out a large chunk of the asphalt and threw it towards them.

"Look out!" Sunset shouted as they just barely missed it as it crumbled upon impact. Regaining their composure, the survivors continued running as the pipe bomb Sunset threw finally went off as it took care of the horde, sending blood and body parts flying, leaving only the hulking monstrosity still in pursuit.

"It seems as though Big Macintosh has had extensive exercises," Luna said, recognizing the monster as what used to be the elder brother to Applejack and Apple Bloom. Whatever the virus actually was had turned what used to be Big Mac into a raging mutated monster hellbent on crushing any living person it happened to come across.

Deciding to try and get to higher ground and figure out a way to escape the city, the survivors spotted a fire escape on the side of an apartment complex and ran towards it. Before reaching the ladder, Ashana ignited the cloth in her molotov and threw it at the raging monster, the bottle shattering upon impact and the monster instantly ignited into flames. Using the force to hold it in place as long as possible so the others could get up the fire escape first, Ashana let go of the monster and leaped up from wall to wall all the way up to the roof of the complex where her group waited.

Still immensely enraged and also engulfed in flames, the monster attempted to climb up the fire escape, but due to its massive size, the structure began to collapse and it fell to the ground as its burning body was pierced by the sharp broken ends of the fire escape, sending it back to death.

"That… was a little close. If they're beginning to mutate, then we can't stay here any longer. We need to get out of the city," Luna said.

"Agreed. We need to get back to the house as soon as we get some food to last us for a little while so that we'll have a car," Sunset added as they looked down at the burning corpse of what used to be Big Macintosh.

"Well then. We'll need to-," Ashana began to speak before she felt another presence up there with them, and the fact she could feel this presence was an indicator that this was a living person. "We're not alone up here."

Turning around, the quartet eyed what appeared to be another survivor. And any face that wasn't rotting or had flesh hanging from its mouth was a welcomed addition to the group.

Things were beginning to look up….

Chapter II: Lawful Love

________2 months earlier________

Today was just another day at the dawn of Spring. The air was still a bit nippy from Winter, but not terribly so. The snow had melted considerably by now, plows were beginning to be put away, and everything in the city of Canterlot was peaceful.

Meanwhile, with another hour before school wrapped up for the weekend on just another Friday, Principal Celestia was doing some paperwork in her office while still waiting for a certain document from the mayor's office. Just under a month ago, Celestia was approached by one of her students that sought an honest relationship with the older woman despite the risks such a relationship could have. Normally Celestia would have turned down such a request, but the student in question was a young woman she had also developed feelings for, who was eighteen as of last month, so she was now of legal age as far as the law is concerned.

This student was Ashana Eyan, a young twi'lek who had been on earth since she was a baby. Celestia found the young woman attractive more than any other woman she's seen or met over the years for a few reasons. Ashana was basically an alien, being the only twi'lek on earth, her figure was somewhat toned and curvaceous, and also her personality had won over the mature woman. The fact they were 18 years apart didn't change the feelings they held for each other.

The school bell ringing snapped Celestia out of her thoughts as she was reminded that final period would begin soon, and she knew that Ashana's final period was a free period and that made the mature woman giggle. She cherished any moment she had with Ashana. And before she knew it, there was knocking at her office door.

"Come in!" Celestia chimed in an almost singing tone.

Creaking as the door was pushed open, the very woman she was expecting had stepped in: Ashana.

"Mmh. There you are," Celestia spoke as she got up from her desk and came around to pull the young twi'lek into a loving embrace, briefly locking lips with her younger lover. The feeling of those soft young lips touching her own sent goosebumps across the older woman's flesh. "I was hoping you'd spend your free period with me."

"Why wouldn't I? You're my girlfriend," Ashana responded, running her hands up and down Celestia's plump figure. "I always wanna spend time with you."

Another reason Celestia swooned around Ashana is that the young twi'lek had a french accent, one of the more exotic and melodic accents one could have.

"I have a little paperwork left to do, so feel free to make yourself comfortable, sweetie," Celestia said, returning to her desk chair as Ashana sat down in front of her lover's desk. They had yet to take it to the bedroom, but neither woman was in a rush to get to that point.

"Did you get the paperwork from the mayor, yet?" Ashana asked.

"Not yet," Celestia replied as she got back to work. "But she assured me that the paperwork would be sent from the state governor's office to hers today, and once she has it she'll email it to me right away so I can make us copies."

"So, I was thinking," Ashana continued. "We've been together for almost a month. Do you think that.. maybe we could, you know… go all the way?"

The question made Celestia pause just as she was about to wrap up her paperwork.

"I won't deny that I was wondering about that myself. Are you sure you're ready for that?" The older woman asked.

"I am. It would be an honor to make love to you," Ashana replied, placing her hand on Celestia's.

"And I you," Celestia spoke, squeezing Ashana's hand before returning to work.

And before long, Celestia finished up what work she had and was about to get up to hold Ashana when her computer dinged, signaling that she had received an email. Clicking on the email instantly, Celestia saw that it was the document making her relationship with Ashana one hundred percent legal. Without hesitation, she began sending the document to her printer and within a few seconds, two pieces of paper popped out of the machine. Taking the paper in her hand, she handed the second sheet to her younger lover.

"So that's that. We're a legal couple now," Ashana spoke, beaming with joy while looking at the document in her hand.

The two women each provided their signatures prior so that it would be printed with the document as it was written by the state governor. And now that they both had it, they could publicly reveal their relationship as it was now completely legal.

"This makes me so happy," Celestia added.

"Me too," Ashana continued.

"Ashana, could I talk to you about something?" Celestia inquired.

"Sure," Ashana replied.

"Listen, um… I know this is going to be a very odd request given we've only been together for just shy of a month, but I want to be honest with you: Would you ever be interested in having a threeway? It doesn't have to be an immediate thing of course. I just wanted to get that off my chest," Celestia spoke, expecting a rejection.

What she got in return wasn't entirely a rejection.

"Well maybe not tonight, because I want tonight to be special for us, but down the line… maybe, yeah. This is still my first relationship and I want to take it slow," Ashana replied.

"Of course, Ashana. It means alot you're at least considering it. The few partners I've had over the years rejected the idea of a threeway instantly, and the relationships fell through after that," Celestia said, rubbing the back of her neck.

"Well then they didn't deserve you. Your interests make you who you are. And you're my girlfriend. Your happiness means the world to me," Ashana spoke, grabbing Celestia's hand.

The older woman blushed at what the young woman before her had just said. In the amount of time she had been dating Ashana, Celestia had never been so happy. The young woman always asked about her day, cooked for her, and made sure at all times that she was comfortable. She was certainly committing herself quite well, and Celestia relished every ounce of Ashana's effort.

"I have an idea for our date tonight. I was thinking we could hit the big arcade at the mall, grab some dinner after, and then we can head over to your place so we could.. y'know..," Celestia said, winking at the end of her sentence.

"Sounds good to me," Ashana replied.

Some time later, the final bell rang throughout the school, and all of the students went to their lockers to retrieve their belongings and go out to enjoy the weekend, that included Ashana and Celestia who are now able to go out in public without punishment.

Gathering their own belongings, Ashana and Celestia began to depart the office as the older woman locked the door behind them. Walking through the crowded hallway, the two girlfriends held hands as they made their way to Celestia's car in the parking lot. No one had noticed that Celestia was holding hands with one of her students, but Celestia wouldn't have cared anyway if they had. This was her girlfriend, and they were now free to express their love in public, decently of course.

Moments later, the two love birds arrived at Celestia's car which was a modest, tan colored sedan. The older woman had no preferences for a car. If it works and gets her from Point A to Point B, she'll take it. Fishing out her keys, Celestia unlocked it as they both opened the passenger and driver doors. Upon sitting down and buckling in, they both shut the doors behind them as Celestia put her car key in the ignition and turned it on. Putting her car into reverse, Celestia slowly backed out of her spot and made her way out of the parking lot and to the Canterlot Mall.

"It really does feel good to not have to hide our relationship anymore," Ashana spoke. "So what if I'm dating my principal? I'm 18, so I'm an adult as far as the law is concerned. You mean the world to me. The fact that you're twice my age doesn't change how I feel about you."

"And I feel the same way about you, sweetie," Celestia replied, keeping one hand on the steering wheel as she affectionately rubbed Ashana's left thigh. "Legally, no one can keep us apart now. You may be the youngest person I've ever been romantically involved with, but you're definitely the most committed. In just shy of a month, you've made me the happiest woman in the world more than anyone else. And to make love with you makes me even more happy. Do I still want a threeway? Yes, but I don't want to do it unless you feel comfortable with it. Your feelings matter, too."

After several minutes of driving, they arrived at the mall. Given it was in the late afternoon or early evening, the parking lot was for the most part halfway between full and empty, so finding a parking spot wouldn't be too difficult.

While Celestia was driving around looking for a spot to park, Ashan had gotten out her phone and began setting up a profile on an adult dating app, making it clear she was looking into a threeway so as to surprise her girlfriend, and once it was done, Ashana pocketed her phone as Celestia finally found a spot. Ashana kept silent the whole time as she wants this to be a surprise for her girlfriend.

Making their way into the mall, the two women were sprinting towards the arcade which was up on the second level, giggling like children the entire time. It didn't take long for them to arrive at the arcade, which itself appeared to be a cavern as far as the eye could see. Games of all types lined the complex, meaning one could be in here for hours and not get bored.

"Woah. I always forget how huge this place is," Ashana commented as they walked in.

"I can't remember the last time I was in here. It's been so long," Celestia replied.

"Let's go get some quarters. I wanna try one of the dancing games first," Ashana continued.

"Sounds good to me," Celestia responded.

----***----

Before they knew it, almost two hours went by, and the two lovers were heading down to the food court on the ground floor to get some dinner. Even the food court was a bit lengthy, so there was quite a bit to choose from.

"I don't know about you, but I'm in the mood for some pizza," Celestia said.

"Mmh. Meat lovers with pineapples," Ashana added.

"You read my mind, Ashana," The older woman spoke as they walked up to one of the pizza vendors.

"What can I get started for you two?" The lady behind the counter asked.

"A large meat lovers pizza with pineapples added, and two medium cups, please. That's all," Celestia replied.

"Perfect. It all comes out to… twenty-one dollars and fifty-two cents," The worker spoke as she confirmed their order.

Before Celestia could fish her wallet back out, Ashana grabbed her own first.

"Please, Celestia. Allow me," Ashana spoke up as she handed the worker twenty-two dollars. And once their order was rung in and paid for, Ashana was given forty-eight cents back and then they were both given medium sized cups that had a capacity of twenty-two ounces.

"We'll have it hot n' ready for you in about twenty minutes," The lady spoke once more before she joined her coworkers in making Ashana and Celestia's order as well as a separate order.

Going over to the fountain drink dispenser, the two love birds made their selection of beverages and chose a small table not too far from the counter and sat down in the surprisingly comfortable chairs.

"I'm gonna go use the bathroom really quick," Celestia said as she got back up and walked to the nearest bathroom which also wasn't too far.

Left to her lonesome for the moment, Ashana pulled her phone out of her pocket just as it vibrated, signaling that she had received a notification. Unlocking the device, sure enough it was from the app she signed up on looking for a possible threeway as a surprise for Celestia. Pulling up the woman's profile that had liked her profile, Ashana was lighting up.

"Sunrise Ametha? Heh. Didn't think she'd be interested in this sort of thing," Ashana thought to herself as she looked through the other young woman's profile. Sunrise and Ashana were good friends in school, sharing quite a few classes together while also hanging out a few times a week. Outside of Ashana, Sunrise's circle of friends was very small as she was a bit of a shy little mouse, but Ashana looked out for her.

"Oh, um… Hi, Ashana," Sunrise typed. "I um… I got the suggestion to download this app after Miss Rarity re-stitched some of my clothes."

"Think you're up for a threeway though?" Ashana messaged back.

"If this is my only chance to be with you, then I should take the opportunity," Sunrise typed. "Also… I've had a crush on you since freshman year."

"Well then. Once we're back at my place, I'll message you to come over so we can all… unwind," Ashana responded.

The last message Ashana received from Sunrise was a wink emoji as well as a heart emoji, signaling that she was ready for it.

Smirking, Ashana put her phone away as Celestia emerged from the bathroom and returned to their table.

"Mmh. I hope our pizza will be ready soon," Celestia commented before taking a sip of her beverage.

"Me too. I can already smell it," Ashana added.

-----*****-----

After they finished their meal, Celestia and Ashana made their way out of the mall and back to Celestia's car. Letting themselves inside, the two women buckled up as Celestia put her key into the ignition.

"That pizza was so fucking good. I don't get why most people don't like putting pineapple on pizza. It adds a sweet flare to it," Ashana commented as Celestia pulled out of their spot and made her way out of the parking lot, now heading to Ashana's house with the young twi'lek also holding a box containing their leftovers.

"Some people just don't have good taste," Celestia responded.

The drive to Ashana's house didn't take long, only five minutes at most. Parking in the driveway, Celestia turned off her car as they sat for a moment before going in. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Ashana pulled out her phone and messaged Sunrise to come over. If she was going to surprise Celestia with a threeway, now was the time.

"Alright. Are you ready?" Celestia asked, calming her frazzled nerves for what's about to occur.

"Let's do it," Ashana responded, slipping her phone back into her pocket as they both stepped out of Celestia's car. Locking the car behind them, Celestia followed her younger girlfriend up to the front door of her home. Fishing out her keys, Ashana unlocked it and allowed Celestia to enter first.

Without warning, Celestia began stripping out of her clothes, leaving only her bra and panties which both were a banana yellow, a bit of a contrast to her near white skin but not unpleasantly so.

"Um… it's not too soon to strip, is it?" Celestia inquired.

"Of course not. Make yourself comfortable," Ashana commented as she closed the front door. "I was actually thinking of us doing it in the living room. Gives us more space."

Ashana was about to say something else when knocking at the door disrupted her train of thought. Show time.

"Perfect. Right on time," Ashana said, walking to the front door. "Celestia, I have a surprise for you. I was hesitant earlier, but now I do feel open to it. Seeing your face earlier when you made that confession, I knew that if it didn't mean alot to you, then it wouldn't have been brought up at all. But now, I've arranged a threeway as a gift for you."

"Ashana, I-..," Celestia said, swooning at Ashana's gesture.

Opening the door, Ashana welcomed in the person she had invited to her threeway with Celestia: Sunrise Ametha.

"Miss Sunrise! Well hello," Celestia coined, a bit surprised at the sight of another of her students.

Sunrise Ametha, like Ashana, was a senior at CHS and was also 18 years of age. Her resemblance to Ashana's older sister Sunset was uncanny, but they had no relation whatsoever. Sunrise had vibrant red hair with yellow and dark blue highlights, light fleshy orange colored skin, and heterochromia eyes, her right being a moderate cyan and the left being yellow. Her outfit consisted of a cream colored CHS honor student jacket with a horseshoe logo on the right breast area, an orange collar shirt and vibrant blue leggings that flowed down into semi-stylish brown boots.

"H-Hi, Principal Celestia," Sunrise spoke, her cheeks turning a bright crimson at the sight of her semi-naked principal. Walking in, Ashana closed and locked the door behind her.

"I messaged Sunrise about her interest in joining us in a threeway. I hope it's not too much trouble that she's also half your age," Ashana said.

"Oh not at all," Celestia replied, reaching back to undo the clasp of her bra, letting it go as her bra fell to the carpeted floor, letting her naturally massive F cup breasts fall down to their natural resting position. "I was hoping for two gorgeous young women to absolutely ravage me. Mmmh… I can see she has a cock as well. Even better."

Even before Celestia had taken off her bra, Sunrise's cock left a prominent bulge within the confines of her clothes as well as Ashana's. But now that Celestia was topless, their cocks were beginning to awaken and before too long, it'd grow considerably uncomfortable for the two hung women.

"Get over here you beautiful bitch," Ashana spoke, gesturing her girlfriend over with a finger. "Let's get this party started."

Celestia walked over without hesitation, and once she had reached the two young women, she gripped Sunrise's chin and pulled the timid young woman into a passionate kiss as Celestia felt her tense up a little. Putting her free hand on Sunrise's waist, she felt the young woman relax. While they were making out, Ashana had taken off her own clothes and began to walk behind Celestia, her blue cock bobbing with each step. Once she was behind Celestia, she got on her knees, yanked the older woman's panties down, and shoved her face right between those huge, pillowy soft buns, causing Celestia to gasp as she disrupted the kiss.

"Mmh. Now now, Ashana. Don't eat all of my cake. Save some.. mmh.. for Sunrise," Celestia moaned, feeling the young woman's tongue stroking her drenched lower lips.

"I just can't help myself," Ashana replied, momentarily coming up for air. "You taste so good. I can't wait to tear up this pussy."

Celestia smirked as she stepped out of her panties which had been sitting down at her ankles as Sunrise finally began to strip out of her own clothes. She hadn't yet because she was distracted by the soft lips of the older woman. Ashana had returned to eating Celestia's pussy, the young twi'lek having also grabbed hold of the older woman's big soft buns. Wanting to up the ante, Ashana ran her tongue up to the entrance to Celestia's love canal and drove her tongue in as far as it would go.

"Oh F-Fuck! Goodness, Ashana… mmh, you.. certainly are eager.. mmh," Celestia gasped, feeling the young twi'leks tongue flicking around inside her.

Sunrise at this point had finally stripped out of all of her clothes, her perky E cup breasts now in full display. Her cock was now also on full display, the shaft itself being a massive twelve inches in length with a two inch girth. Ashana was equally endowed, but unlike the twi'lek, Sunrise's cock was uncut, the pink tip half-hid underneath the sheath. And on another note, Sunrise had a sizable multi-colored bush of pubic hair.

"It's not weird I have a pubic bush… is it?" Sunrise asked.

"Not at all," Celestia replied as Ashana halted feasting upon the older woman's pussy and stood up. "It looks good on you."

"Get on your knees and get to sucking before we breed you, slut," Ashana commanded, wanting to spice things up further with dirty talk.

Celestia did as she was told without hesitation and sank to her knees. As the two younger women got to position on both sides of Celestia, the older woman grabbed both of their cocks and began stroking. If she wasn't already drenched, Celestia definitely was now with having two thick shafts in her hands.

"Mmh. It certainly feels better to have someone else stroke it," Sunrise commented, her shyness had been tossed aside at this point.

"Hmhm. Such dirty young women. Having sex with their principal," Celestia continued, smirking ever smugly as she stroked her lovers' cocks. "Now I don't want you both to take it easy for my sake. I want it a little rough, okay? I haven't had a good fucking in years. Give me one I won't ever forget."

"With pleasure," Ashana spoke as she grabbed Celestia's head and pulled the older woman down onto her cyan blue cock.

The next several minutes were filled with the sound of lewd wet slurping as Celestia serviced the two young women. Ashana even went so far as to vigorously pull Celestia down on her cock over and over, practically gagging the older woman. But Celestia persisted, enjoying every second as she switched back to Sunrise's cock, alternating between them.

"F-Fuck. She really is a slut," Sunrise muttered as she was deepthroated by the older woman. "She just deepthroated me after you just gagged her."

"And she's being a good slut. But I think that's enough sucking for now. It's time to breed this bitch," Ashana spoke.

Celestia got up rather enthusiastically, and in preparation, she grabbed her jacket and reached into the inside pocket on the right side, and pulled out a clear bottle of lubricant.

"I knew you wanted a threeway Celestia, but damn," Ashana commented as her girlfriend walked over to the couch with the bottle of lube.

"A woman's always gotta be prepared," Celestia replied. "I don't need to worry about either of you getting me pregnant. Only way I could have a child in the future is if I was artificially inseminated. Now. Ashana, dear, I'd like you in my pussy. Sunrise, you can have my ass. When I said I was hoping for this, I meant it. I took the necessary precautions."

As Sunrise and Ashana both smirked at each other, Celestia began squirting some lube onto her hand and began applying it to her back door. Ashana took a seat in the middle of the couch as Celestia got up on her knees and straddled the young twi'lek's waist. Not wanting to wait any longer, Celestia lowered herself to where she felt the tip of Ashana's cock kiss her entrance and continued lowering herself, feeling that thick cyan shaft spreading her open.

"Oh f-fuck… not even.. all the way, and you're.. fuck… already so deeeep…," Celestia moaned. Once she got most of Ashana's cock inside of her, Celestia halted to catch her breath. Taking a cock of Ashana's size inside of her was a bit of a challenge as she was considerably larger than the average human, and yet the older woman achieved what most could only dream of.

"Damn. You took her all the way down to the base," Sunrise commented as she walked up behind Celestia, grasping her own cock and lined it up with the older woman's ass, gently prodding her lubed back door. "If you can do that with your pussy, let's see if you can take an entire cock up your slutty ass."

And with that, Sunrise ground into Celestia, shoving her cock right into the older woman's ass. Gently of course, as even with the lube, it'd be a really tight fit, and Celestia was doing everything she could to stay relaxed as that would help Sunrise enter her more smoothly. And a few moments later, Sunrise nearly hilted herself before Celestia motioned for her to stop.

"Ok girls.. ah, I.. need a moment to adjust," Celestia requested, tense from having two large cocks inside her holes at once, but happy that she was able to experience such a sensation at last.

Sunrise held onto Celestia's big squishy ass for support as Ashana gripped her girlfriend's waist. To help Celestia relax even more, Ashana grabbed one of Celestia's large F cup breasts and lined it up with her mouth as she then began suckling on the older woman's left nipple. Her efforts were rewarded as Celestia moaned in pure delight as she then felt Sunrise knead her soft buns like mounds of dough.

"Ok girls, you can start moving now," Celestia spoke up, now ready for a good, rough fucking.

Minutes soon flew by in the blink of an eye as Ashana and Sunrise found a rhythm, fucking Celestia with wreckless abandon. The older woman was moaning so loud she wasn't a calm and friendly woman in that moment, she was a desperate whore being fucked by two women half her age. Ashana kept her hold on Celestia's waist as Sunrise had recently moved to hold onto her shoulders as she kept pounding the older woman's tight ass while Ashana continued to help herself to her girlfriend's pussy. The duo were moving like pistons of an engine going into overdrive as the older woman between them was pushed to yet another orgasm.

"Fuck, I'm CUMMING!!" Celestia shouted as she came for the fifth time, her pussy constricting around Ashana's cock as more of the older woman's creamy ladycum drizzled down that thick blue shaft.

"Fuck. That's the fifth time she's creamed on your cock, Ashana," Sunrise commented as she was jackhammering Celestia's ass. "She's such a desperate whore."

"Well I hope.. mmh.. she's.. ready, for a big, sticky creampie," Ashana grunted, inching closer to her own orgasm.

"She's about.. to get.. two creampies…," Sunrise also grunted, rapidly approaching her own peak.

Wanting to make the most of it, the two young women kicked into overdrive as they jackhammered the older woman between them, fucking faster and faster until they couldn't hold it back anymore, and once that moment arrived, they both hilted inside their shared lover as their cocks began twitching.

Similar in a manner to volcanoes, Sunrise and Ashana's cocks erupted inside Celestia, shooting out shot after shot of thick, hot cum. A symphony of moans echoed throughout the house as the trio of lovers had a shared orgasm. Celestia had never imagined a threeway would feel this exhilarating, and the fact that both of the women claiming her pussy and ass with their cum were both considerably younger than herself made it all the more exciting.

Almost fifteen seconds had passed and Ashana and Sunrise were still depositing cum into Celestia, so much so that the older woman's stomach was beginning to stretch out to accommodate the considerably large load of cum that she was given. After just five more seconds, Sunrise and Ashana began to tire.

"Wow. That was… amazing," Ashana gasped.

"Thanks for.. including me, girls," Sunrise gasped, catching her breath.

"Of course," Celestia replied. "That was… more amazing… than I could've imagined.."

"It's been a long time since I walked in on you after you had sex, sister," a voice spoke up, startling the three women as they glanced at the hallway that also led to the garage door to see Luna standing there with her wife Sunset Shimmer, Ashana's adopted big sister. "Granted I was hoping it would never happen again."

"Just.. because I'm… older now, it doesn't mean.. I can't still… have fun.." Celestia replied, catching her own breath.

"Well all I'll say to you two is try to carry Celestia to the bathroom so that the floor doesn't get ruined," Sunset spoke up, following Luna to the former's bedroom. "'Cause if you filled her with that much cum, you'll want her in the tub so it can just go down the drain. At least then there won't be as much of a mess."

"We'll try. Sorry you had to see this, Sunset," Ashana said.

"No need to apologize, Ashana. This is your house, too," Sunset replied, smiling to her sister as she and Luna walked out of view.

Once they felt rested enough, Ashana and Sunrise did their best to comfortably carry Celestia to one of the bathrooms, with the older woman wrapping her legs around the twi'lek's waist. And given her position, Sunrise would have to walk backwards, essentially being blind so to speak. Cum was leaking down their shafts, but was much better then if they had just pulled out of the older woman.

"Call me crazy, but once we get to the bathroom, I wanna go for a second round," Sunrise spoke as they neared the bathroom door.

"Sounds good to me," Ashana replied.

"Let's do it," Celestia responded.

It was going to be a long night, but the three lovers wouldn't have it any other way.

Chapter III: A New Threat

"Ashana!" Sunrise shouted, running to Ashana and immediately hugged her friend.

Ashana returned the favor by wrapping her own arms around Sunrise, but let go after a few seconds as it wasn't entirely the eight time or place for pleasantries. The undead had grouped up in the street in front of the apartment complex, with there now being more than they had originally seen prior. If they tried to combat that many, they would surely be killed.

"I'm glad to see you've made it this far, but we can enjoy the reunion later. We need to get what supplies we can and get out of the city. That big one shows that they're already beginning to mutate, so it's only gonna get worse," Ashana remarked, gripping her saber.

"I'll try to get a view of the back door to this apartment complex. That may be our only way out of the building," Sunset commented as she ran to the other end of the building.

"Sorry I didn't try to help with the big guy," Sunrise said. "I don't have much ammo for my dad's pistol. Only has two full clips."

Ashana gave Sunrise one of the glock pistols she had acquired as well as a few of the mags for it.

"Thanks," Sunrise commented. "Sunset. Is the back door clear?"

"Looks like it. We need to move," Sunset replied.

The survivors busted down the roof access door and immediately ran down the stairs. They had a few floors to go down before they got to the back door so they had to move fast. It'd only be a matter of time before the undead found their way around. They heard sounds coming from the various apartments but they didn't dare try to check any of them as it could be a potential hazard. Within about a minute, they reached the back door.

"Hang on. Let me check again to make sure the coast is clear," Sunset spoke, cracking the door open enough for her to look out into the back alley. "Okay. We're clear. Let's go."

Opening the door, they all piled out and ran down to the opposite end of the alley and back out onto another part of the street. So far none of the undead had followed, and they exploited this as they ran as fast as they could to the supermarket which was now only a few blocks away. Once they had arrived, they saw even more cars in disarray, some were burned to the point they were unsalvageable. Going down to a jogging pace so as to simultaneously speed and catch their breath, the five survivors decided to first go to the part of the store where storage bins were kept as that would aid in carrying supplies until they got back to Sunset's car.

The store's power at this point had gone out and some of the emergency lights were on, barely lighting the establishment, prompting them to ignite their sabers so as to have a better source of light.

"The storage bin aisle isn't much further," Sunset spoke, loud enough that the group could hear her and quiet enough that she didn't attract any unwanted attention.

"I'll be surprised if there's any food left in this place," Ashana thought to herself.

After a minute of walking, they reached the storage bins.

"Okay. Who's gonna carry the supplies we find?" Sunset asked as she grabbed two large plastic storage bins and also two lids to seal them.

"I will," Luna replied.

"Me too," Celestia also replied.

While they made their way towards the food section of the store, the group took into account how unnaturally quiet it was in there. In a post apocalyptic world, silence can be dangerous.

"I don't like how quiet it is," Luna commented.

"It won't take them long to pick up our scent. They may be mindless corpses, but their main purpose is to feed on living flesh," Ashana added.

Finally arriving at the food section, quite a bit of all the fruits and vegetables were scattered about, some even squished from being stepped on and most had begun to rot from being on the floor. Wanting to prioritize non-perishable foods, the survivors headed towards the canned food aisle and upon reaching it, they ran along the shelves and grabbed what they could find, which of course wasn't much but they were gonna take all they could get. Canned pasta, canned fruit, the whole nine yards. As they continued to grab what canned food they could get, something that had to be made of glass was knocked onto the floor somewhere else in the store, causing it to shatter and the noise of it echoed through the seemingly empty establishment, prompting the survivors to halt for a moment.

“We’re not alone. We have to hurry and get the hell out of here. I'd rather not find out whatever that was," Sunset exclaimed. In a hurry, they grabbed several more cans while moving over to the next few aisles to grab chips, crackers, and water. Once they felt they had enough, they closed the bins and made a run back to the main entrance to go back to Sunset and Ashana's house, where the former's car was residing at.

But little did they know that a zombie feasting upon a former survivor had taken notice of them making a run for it, dropping the flesh from its mouth to follow its new prey.

Some time later, the five survivors were running as fast as they could towards Sunset's car, although with the supplies they gathered, it wasn't like they were running too fast, but they were making good time. Due to how heavy the water bottles were, Ashana agreed to carry the bin to allow Celestia to have a break.

"How much further?" Sunrise asked from the rear of the group.

"Only a few more blocks," Sunset replied, leading the group.

As they kept running though, Ashana briefly halted as something alerted her senses. Sunrise took note of her friend stopping in her tracks and stayed with her.

"What is it?" Sunrise inquired, feeling worried about her friend.

"I.. don't know," Ashana replied, as Sunset, Luna, and Celestia took notice of the two young women having halted.

"Come on, girls, let's go," Celestia announced. "What's wrong, Ashana?"

"We're being followed, but what I sensed feels… strange. It doesn't feel entirely like a living being, but it can't be one of the zombies, either. They're dead, so they don't have any functionality. But let's get to the car. I'd like to not be the next item on the menu," Ashana continued as they got back to running. And just a moment later, Sunset spotted her car in her driveway.

"There she is!" Sunset exclaimed. Passing once more by the decaying remains of Fudge and his mother, one of the zombies jumped in front of them out of nowhere, and this who this zombie was had caught them off guard.

"Twilight?" Luna spoke, recognizing the former protegée of both Crystal Prep and Canterlot High. What was the young woman was now just another undead corpse with the insatiable hunger for flesh, and if that wasn't alarming already, her glowing purple eyes signified her as different from the rest.

"Y-you w-will all f-feeed maany…," zombie Twilight croaked.

"She can still speak? I thought she was dead?!" Celestia shouted, alarmed that her zombified student had been able to speak even after death.

"She's just another zombie. Let's put an end to her like one," Sunrise exclaimed, pulling out her dad's 1911 pistol and fired a shot at Twilight who skillfully dodged the bullet as it just narrowly missed Sunset's car. Little did Sunrise know, she had made a grave mistake as Twilight let out a very loud, ear-piercing shriek, prompting the survivors to cover their ears and wince in pain

Never had they heard a noise so unbearable. Tornado sirens were annoying, but they were music to the ears compared to what they were subjected to. Only just barely able to focus from the pain, Ashana clumsily activated her lightsaber with one hand and swung at Twilight, who ducked away but not entirely as the twi'lek grazed the zombie's leg, causing it to stop the screaming. All Twilight did in return was smirk and run away, unphased by the burning gash on her left thigh.

"Fuck, that was the most annoying sound I've ever heard," Sunset spoke, gently hitting her head. "I can still hear it in my head. Ugh."

Before any of the others could speak, a collective howl echoed through the streets as a horde of the undead was making its way towards them from the street in front of them, no doubt having been alerted by Twilight's loud shriek.

"Get in the car. NOW!" Sunset shouted as she pressed the unlock button on her car key, and the survivors gathered the supplies and made their way towards the vehicle, but something grabbed Sunrise from behind, skillfully preventing her from using her arms properly and proceeded to bite into the right side of her neck, causing the young woman to scream in immense pain.

"Sunrise!" Ashana shrieked, seeing her friend getting bitten and went to help but halted when Sunrise managed to speak.

"Just go!" Sunrise croaked before Twilight bit down even harder and ripped a huge chunk of flesh from Sunrise's neck, tearing her vital veins in the process as she darted from view yet again. Ashana wanted to be with her friend but with the incoming horde, it would be a tremendous risk. So with immense guilt settling in, the twi'lek turned and ran towards Sunset's car, getting inside and shutting the door behind her as she looked out the window to her friend who had now fallen to the ground as she began bleeding to death, coughing up blood in the process. Ashana's eyes began filling with tears as Sunset turned the car on, put it in drive and stepped on the gas pedal, zooming out of the driveway as the horde was about to close in.

Doing her best to not lose control, Sunset drove like a maniac through the littered streets, trying to get out of the city as quickly as possible while also being careful not to hit anything. Meanwhile, Ashana was feeling even more guilty about leaving Sunrise to die than having taken Cocoa's life not too long ago. When she couldn't hold it back any longer, Celestia pulled the young twi'lek into a hug as Ashana began to cry.

"Shhh, it's okay. It's okay," Celestia said in a calming tone while gently stroking Ashana's right lekku.

"W-We l-left Sunrise t-to die," Ashana croaked as the tears streamed down her blue cheeks like a river. Celestia couldn't think of any proper words so she continued to comfort her grieving girlfriend.

Sunset was now on the main road that led out of town, so she was going that route. She didn't want to try the highway 'cause it'd most likely be littered with cars, and to a zombie that'd be an all you can eat buffet. So she made her way south the long way, and the horde of zombies at this point were pretty far behind them.

"Looks like we outran them," Luna commented as she looked to the rear of the car. "So what's the plan, Sunset? Where are we going? We probably should have talked about that before we left the city."

"We should stay clear of cities for the most part. Prioritize settling down in campgrounds and quiet places like that. I'd say going to Camp Everfree, but that may be risky," Sunset replied, driving past the "Thank you for visiting Canterlot" sign as they left city limits. Keeping her eye on the road signs as she was driving, Sunset eventually saw one that said "Cityville Campground. 5 miles" and turned left onto the road that led to it. Luna kept her eyes on the rear of the car, watching out the back windshield to ensure they weren't being followed. After another half hour of driving, they arrived at the campground.

Upon first glance, it looked abandoned, but looks can be deceiving. Once again there cars strewn about, most had doors left open and the decayed bodies of the drivers still in the driver's seat. A few moments later, they came across the main cottage where one would check in to rent space at the camp and decided to settle down there for the time being.

"Okay. We'll settle down here for a bit and decide on where we want to go," Sunset commented as she put her car in park and turned it off. Unbuckling herself, she opened her door and stepped out as the others followed suit.

Celestia made sure to grab one of their tubs of supplies that they had managed to grab while Ashana grabbed the other. Once the car was locked, they all made their way to the front door of the main cottage. Sunset took out and ignited Fudge's saber and turned the knob to see if it was unlocked and to her amazement, it was. Opening it slowly, she kept the pink glowing blade up, ready to swing at whatever may lunge at them.

"Okay. Easy now," Sunset whispered, ushering her companions to follow.

Slowly, the four survivors made their way inside the cottage. Once inside, Ashana closed the door behind them, set the bin with the water bottles down and began moving one of the desks in front of the door so as to barricade it should anything be outside and attempt to get inside. Sunset and Luna moved to grab another of the desks and carried it over to barricade the back door.

"Let's check all the rooms to make sure we're alone in here," Sunset whispered once more. Sunset went with Luna into one room, and Celestia and Ashana took the other. Illuminating the room with her fire orange hued lightsaber, the two women discovered it to be a bedroom and so far it appeared to be empty.

While Ashana checked under the modest sized bed, Celestia looked in the closet and found it to be empty as well.

"All clear," Ashana commented.

"Check the drawers in the nightstands. Let's see if we can find anything of use," Celestia responded.

Opening the top drawer in the left nightstand, Ashana was surprised when she found something she wouldn't have expected: a string of unopened condoms.

"Heh. Seems like someone was gunning for some action," Ashana quipped, placing the condoms back in the drawer before closing it.

"We don't need those silly things to get frisky. I always like it raw 'cause then you give me a big, sticky creampie," Celestia chimed in, the older woman wearing a smug smirk on her face.

"I'd bend you over this bed and give you one right now, if it were under better circumstances," Ashana replied, the twi'lek rubbing her neck, remembering again that they were on the run from the ever growing zombie population that wouldn't stop until every living person was either eaten, or one of them.

Confirming once more that the bedroom was clear, the two girlfriends walked back out into the main area of the cottage, which itself was quite modest, housing two bedrooms, a full bathroom, an open kitchen, and a small area where people would check in and out of the campground.

"Second bedroom is clear," Luna said as she and Sunset stepped out.

"Looks like we're all clear. Now we need to make a plan of where we wanna go from here. If Twilight's mutation means anything, then we need to keep moving so we can stay ahead of her," Sunset spoke. "Since we posed a threat to her, she'll stop at nothing until she's killed us herself."

"I'm still trying to figure out why Twilight alone was able to mutate so that she retained her speech and consciousness after death," Luna grumbled.

"I'm thinking it's due to when she was consumed by magic back at the Friendship Games. It may not seem like a likely theory, but it's the best I got," Ashana added.

Using the force, Ashana closed the curtains over every window as Celestia skimmed for a light switch to see if there was still power. Silently cheering that there was indeed power, the survivors grouped together in the center of the cottage, grabbed some chairs, and began opening their bins of supplies to have a makeshift feast. Not a big one, but it was better than none at all. Luckily they had also remembered to grab handheld can openers and utensils or else the canned food would be stuck inside the cans.

Digging into a can of ravioli, Ashana moaned in delight as she began chewing the meat filled pasta covered in sauce, some of it smearing on her blue lips. And for that moment, they got to experience peace and quiet, but they knew it wouldn't last.

As they finished eating though and disposed of their empty cans, the peace was cut short when the earth beneath them began to shake out of nowhere. This wasn't like a regular quake as the shaking wasn't as intense nor as long, with it only lasting half a minute and the only damage caused was a few portraits hanging on the various walls falling to the floor and shattering.

"That was weird. We aren't anywhere near a fault line. Not that I know of, anyway," Sunset commented once the shaking stopped. Looking out the window, she sighed in relief to see that the alarm for her car wasn't triggered.

"I believe I may know what caused that shaking, and it isn't an earthquake," Ashana said.

"What are you suggesting?" Luna asked.

"There's gonna be something worse than a growing population of the undead. Since I was wanting to eventually become a volcanologist before shit the fan, I did quite a lot of research. So given the ferocity and duration of that shaking, that can only mean that a volcano is waking up," Ashana replied.

"First zombies and now we could potentially deal with a volcano? Well that's great," Luna grumbled.

"Since the internet isn't functional right now, I can't look up a geological map, but if I had to guess, there should be a supposedly dormant volcano somewhere near here. Specifically within this camp. So we need to decide where we wanna go from here and leave immediately at first light," Ashana said.

"Obviously we'll need to keep hitting stores for supplies as well as gas, but how about…. Silver Shoals? It's a populated coastal town but not overly populated. They got pretty decent houses and the town itself is far enough away from the big cities so we'd have perfect seclusion," Sunset spoke up.

"Sounds good to me. Girls?" Celestia chimed in.

"Let's do it," Luna agreed.

"I'm in," Ashana agreed in unison.

At the moment, the survivors were happy they now had a plan of how they intended to survive this apocalypse and prepared to get some sleep, for they knew it was about to get a lot harder.

They just didn't know yet how much harder it was about to get….

Chapter IV: Heated Tension

Something has gone wrong. We don't seem to have an archived copy of that chapter.

Chapter V: The Cloudsdale Confrontation

Author's Note

Apologies for the wait. I would've had this done sooner, but a week ago I was away from home visitng my girlfriend and I wanted to proiritize spending time with her.

But alas, here is Chapter V. I apologize if it's a bit rocky, but I feel confident to post it. And I also wanna mention the next chapter will be the last for this story as I want the next story to be my biggest yet so I wanna move my time over to that. I'll make the ending of this story with effort of course.

Anyway, enough ranting. I hope you enjoy, and may the force be with you.

Chapter V: The Cloudsdale Confrontation

"And the surprises just keep coming," Sunset commented, seeing the now corrupted Cocoa step towards them, her saber firmly in her grasp.

"Sunset, take them and go make sure the road leading away is clear of any spike strips. If my hunch is right, then Cocoa was resurrected to come after me specifically, so I need to take care of her now or else we're not going to get out of here. Now go," Ashana ordered.

Sunset didn't speak against her sister as she knew they needed to get back on the road to keep as much distance between them and the growing undead populace as possible.

"You know it's pointless to keep running. She's gonna find you eventually. It's best to just accept your fate and give yourselves up," Cocoa spoke, her tone cold and defiant as she stopped just a few feet from Ashana and crossed her arms underneath her modest bust.

"I should be surprised that Twilight resurrected you to be used against me, but I'm not," Ashana snapped back. "I'm also surprised you just let her take control of your mind. I figured you were stronger than that, but I guess not. I hate to say this because we were friends once… but you've become rather pathetic."

"Spare me the pity, Ashana. No one survives something like this forever. Why keep running?" Cocoa asked.

"Because we're survivors. It's what we do. And if you expect me to just surrender myself and my family, it's not gonna happen," Ashana replied, dropping her arms down to her sides while reaching for her lightsaber.

"So be it," Cocoa coldly stated, igniting her indigo blue blade. "I'll make sure your death is swift."

"No. It's your death that will be swift," Ashana remarked, pulling out her lightsaber and igniting her fiery orange blade.

At once the two women charged at one another, clashing blades. This duel wasn't gonna be like any friendly sparring session Cocoa and Ashana had before, this time it's a matter of who is gonna kill who. Ashana parried Cocoa's vicious strikes with ease, the two moving almost like a blur to anyone that might be watching. The quicker the two women swung at each other, the quicker Ashana was put on the defensive. Twilight's corruption enhanced Cocoa's agility, allowing her to strike against Ashana harder than usual. Ashana, having never been in an actual duel before, was finding it difficult to keep up with the woman's enhanced speed, but she persisted for the sake of her family's survival.

Meanwhile at the end of the parking lot, the other survivors stopped at the entrance to walk onto the road to look for any potential spike strips.

"Ok. Doesn't look like there are any other spike strips," Sunset noted.

"Looks like Ashana's still duking it out with Cocoa," Sunrise pointed out, noticing the orange and blue blades moving at an impressive speed, the sound of their blades clashing able to be heard in the other end of the parking lot.

"Well at least you haven't lost your touch, Ashana, I'll give you that," Cocoa said as they locked blades. "It won't help though. Once you're dead, I'll kill them one by one, and then I'll give Celestia an excruciatingly slow death. Mistress Twilight will no doubt recognize me as her second-in-command for her progressing army."

Those last few words were a mistake as something within Ashana snapped, hearing that her family and girlfriend were openly threatened. Ashana disrupted the blade lock and with her anger rising, she swung at Cocoa more ferociously, putting her opponent on the defensive. With each heavy strike, Ashana's power grew as Cocoa was now backpedaling. Even under Twilight's influence, Cocoa was beginning to show fear for Ashana's newfound strength. For a moment it seemed like Cocoa was beginning to resist Twilight's control over her, but sadly it was only brief as the young woman locked blades with her former friend once more.

"Did wittle Ashana snap?" Cocoa taunted, but this only served to aggravate Sunasha further.

"Maybe when I kill you this time, you'll STAY DEAD," Ashana snapped, breaking off the blade lock by striking Cocoa's blade to the right while stunning her briefly, and seeing the quick window of opportunity, the twi'lek raised her orange blade and brought it down, cutting her former friend in half, vertically. As Cocoa split in half and fell to the ground in two pieces, Ashana deactivated her saber and collapsed to her knees. She had just killed her friend twice in the span of a day, and Ashana was only just getting over the first time. "Hopefully this time that crazy bitch will let you rest in peace."

"Ashana! Let's go!" Sunrise shouted.

Snapping out of her daze, Ashana grabbed her former friend's saber and jumped over to Sunrise and the others. Climbing into the humvee, they closed the doors, buckled in, and Sunset stepped on the gas. As they zoomed away from the weather facility, Ashana drifted into her thoughts. Not only did she just kill Cocoa a second time, she tapped into her anger. Sure it was because her family was threatened, but something about it felt strange for the young twi'lek.

"Ashana, what's wrong?" Celestia asked her beloved.

"I feel.. strange. I just killed Cocoa out of anger. Sure she threatened to kill you girls, but I still killed her out of anger," Ashana replied, feeling ashamed for what she had done.

"Well, we got away alive. That's what's important," Sunrise added. "That wasn't Cocoa anymore, just another of Twilight's new puppets. Hell. I'm still trying to get my head around the fact that I'm human again."

"We're all together again though. And as long as we stay close, those undead fucks don't stand a chance," Sunset said.

Although Ashana hadn't begun to comprehend it, she had just tapped into the Dark Side of the Force.

-------- The next day --------

"Gotcha," Sunrise quipped after blasting a zombie in the head with her 1911.

The survivors' travels have brought them to the town of Griffonia, a city much like what Canterlot, Cityville, and Cloudsdale used to be, full of life and happiness. But now it's reduced to rubble like everything else. As Sunset said, the virus was moving faster than they were, and destruction was ensuing just as quick if not quicker. They were currently skimming through a modest yet also disheveled grocery store in an effort to garner supplies to grow vegetables and other seeds for when they make it to Silver Shoals on the coast.

"What do we have so far?" Luna asked, guarding one end of the aisle where the seeds were, and Ashana, Celestia, and Sunrise guarded the other while Sunset was grabbing seed pouches.

"Tomatoes, carrots, celery, enough to last us awhile," Sunset replied as she continued to grab plant seed pouches. "Not surprised when people began to panic, this was overlooked. In a post-apocalyptic world, growing food is essential."

Fast-paced pattering of footsteps and what sounded like hysterical laughter broke the survivors' focus and caused them to go into high alert.

"We got company, and it sounds like it's moving fast," Sunrise spoke.

And just as Sunset had finished grabbing what she could of seeds, an unidentified creature with glowing purple eyes jumped onto the top of Sunrise from over the top of the shelves, locked its legs around her midsection and wrapped rather large hands around her head and began to ride her like a horse, attempting to lure her away.

"Get this thing off me!" Sunrise shouted as she attempted to resist her attacker to no avail.

Ashana was the first to act as she used the force to pull whatever it was off of Sunrise and violently send it to the ground, stunning it momentarily as Sunrise pointed her pistol towards its ugly face.

"Serves you right," Sunrise stated as she squeezed the trigger, ending the creature's misery. "Besides, I'm not a horse. Well, not anymore anyway."

"Wait. What do you mean "not anymore"?" Celestia inquired, catching onto what Sunrise had just said.

"Not unlike me, Sunrise isn't of Earth," Ashana replied. "She didn't want to tell anyone other than me, but Sunrise's DNA is equine, meaning she's practically a horse in a human body. I didn't initially believe it at first myself, but she comes from a world called Equestria, the same world Twilight had tried to invade back during the Friendship Games. How Sunrise ended up here is the same reason I ended up here: It's uncertain."

"And it's because I'm Equestrian that I believe that I was somehow able to resist Twilight's influence when I turned, though how that's possible I'm not exactly sure. I still don't really know much about Equestria if at all. And as powerful and intellectual as she is even now, Twilight isn't immune to her own ego. And even with an army of undead flesh eaters, she most likely won't ever get to Equestria. Someone power-hungry like her, she'll fall victim to herself," Sunrise continued.

"Well we can think about this later. Let's get whatever else we need and go before more of them show up," Luna said. "Where there's one, there's always more."

"I agree with my sister. Let's gain more ground," Celestia chimed in as the others soon agreed.

The small group of survivors decided to try and search the rest of the store for more canned food and water, not able to find as much as what they found back in Canterlot Supermarket, but they found a few small handfuls of canned food and a twenty-four count pack of water bottles. After collecting their discovery, Sunset led the way back out to the humvee, which by now had gone down to half a tank of gas and they still have a ways to go before they get to Silver Shoals.

As they reached the entrance of the grocery store, Sunset was in the process of walking out first when Ashana heard something and pulled her sister back just in time as something zoomed by them, presumably with the intent to grab Sunset.

"What the-..?" Sunset spoke as Ashana pulled her back.

Looking out, they saw that whatever had attempted to charge at Sunset had stopped a bit further down the store's parking lot, having slammed into a sedan that was burnt to hell. Turning around as it noticed the group of survivors, the creature slammed its abnormally large arm into the ground, let out a yell, and charged again. This time the survivors were prepared for it as Ashana ignited her lightsaber and right as the creature was about to reach them she sliced into it, cutting the creature into two pieces.

"Yet another mutation. This one has a rather large arm," Ashana commented as she examined what was left. "Looks like it jacked off nonstop for days."

"Well thanks, Ashana," Sunset said, thanking her sister.

"Of course. But it's gonna get dark soon. We should find a place to hunker down for the night and then get back on the road in the morning," Ashana continued.

"That's a good plan. There's an abandoned hotel that we passed on our way here," Luna said as they piled back into the humvee.

Tracking back a few blocks, they pulled into the littered parking lot of the Crown Jewel hotel. Careful to avoid any and all damaged vehicles, Sunset stopped the humvee in front of the main doors to the hotel which were somewhat ajar, no doubt from when people were fleeing during the initial start of the apocalypse. In just a week after the initial collapse of society and the zombies rising from the dead, they were now beginning to mutate at an alarming rate. It was bad enough they were already vastly outnumbered, but with these new mutants around, their chances of continued survival were beginning to dwindle more and more.

"Let's get inside and locate a room to settle in for the night. I think after all of that excitement we deserve some rest to keep us focused," Sunset spoke as she turned off the ignition.

Grabbing a few cans of food and a few bottles of water, the survivors piled out of the humvee, closed the doors and made their way into the wrecked hotel, weapons at the ready.

As they crossed the threshold of the hotel, they came to discover that discarded luggage was everywhere. Clothes, shoes, most anything you could think of was scattered about.

"Looks like the rooms start going down the hallway ahead of us," Sunset spoke, pointing forward. "Keep your eyes and ears open. I don't want us to have any more surprises. Eh, who am I kidding. Be ready for anything."

As if right on cue, the faint but audible sound of crying cut through the silent air of the abandoned hotel. Looking around constantly, the survivors moved down the main hallway at a slow pace. Inching down the hallway with their weapons at the ready, Sunset stopped in her tracks and her companions soon did the same.

"What's the ma-..?" Luna asked, but stopped mid sentence when she looked past her lover and saw what caused them to halt. At first glance, it appeared to be a woman in distress, but the glowing purple eyes, blood stained clothes, hair, skin, and long razor-sharp nails said otherwise.

"Oh great," Celestia whispered, so as to not catch the attention of this potential threat.

"Okay. We'll just go in one of the rooms we already passed and-,"Sunrise spoke as she began to back up before she stepped on a stray toy, the squeak causing all of their eyes to go wide in horror as the crying stopped and was replaced with growling as the zombie was slowly getting up from the floor.

"Oh shit," Ashana said as the zombie's growling escalated as its hands started shaking.

Letting out a near deafening scream, the zombie pounced at its new prey only to be cut down by Ashana who had anticipated this, cutting it vertically into two pieces like she had done to a corrupted Cocoa.

"That was a rather ghoulish one. The crying was creepy," Sunset commented.

"Let's call those ones the Cryers," Celestia added as she busted one of the rooms open.

"And the one that jumped on the back of my head is a Humper," Sunrise chimed in.

"I'd laugh at these names, but I suppose it would help us figure out which is which," Luna said.

"That huge one we faced in Canterlot can be called the Big Guy. The one that ensnared Luna is a Tonguer, the one that tried to pounce on Celestia is a Pouncer, and the one that tried to charge at me is a Rammer," Sunset added as they opened their cans and began dining on canned fruit.

"How much longer until we get to Silver Shoals?" Ashana inquired.

"Should only be about two hundred more miles," Luna replied.

"We should leave at first light tomorrow morning if we wanna get settled in by the afternoon," Sunset continued.

"Finally. Just a bit longer, and hopefully we won't have to worry as much about those freaks anymore," Sunrise uttered before scooping another pineapple chunk from her can.

"As much as I'd like that, something's telling me it won't be so simple," Ashana said.

As the group of survivors continued with their meal, they pondered about what they would be doing once they got to Silver Shoals. Less zombies, less people.

Tomorrow is going to be one of the longest days of their lives….
