Prologue

"Hnnnnnng! What a rough night of sleep....."

I woke up in the loud alarm of my clock, 8:35.

Then I turned and looked at the calendar hanging high up on the wall, a day was circled in red. September 25, my birthday!

Remembered my last birthday, which took place here at Canterlot, and my friends gave a big impact on the high-class behavior and manner of the Canterlot unicorns. And so, this year, I'm planning to celebrate with my friends at PonyVille instead. After finishing the issues the princess asked me to, I will head back to PonyVille this noon.

Oh, forgot to introduce myself. My name is Twilight Sparkle. I am an unicorn, and was previously studying in the Canterlot school who taught by Princess Celestia, my teacher.

But, beside spells, and magics, she DID taught me something else. Something to help me become a veteran on surviving, and find another wonderful mean of life.

She taught me on how to decapitate, perfectly slice open undeads in golden ratios, and how to master a chainsaw. All about undeads, and how to protect my own hometown, friends and family.

Since I found my cutie mark after she appreciates my talents, I feel so grateful for her to teach me a lot of such things. And after I had finished my studies much earlier than other ponies, she decided to teach me something else.

"Now, Twilight Sparkle. I can see you're very clever and have a lot of talent on magic. Since you've already finished all your lessons and studies, I decided to teach you something else, about how to survive as an adult in the future. I just want to know if you're interested."

She asked me one day, at the school.

"I would love to learn everything I can, princess, and I am glad to learn something useful form my future!"

"Good." Said with smile on her face, showing a cardboard box to me. The words 'Douchebag-sawing happiness for Twilight' were written on it with a marker.

It carried the most influential thing for my teen life. A purple bedazzled, long-blade chainsaw, gas driven. Deadly chains can saw through undead's rotten flesh easily without doubt.

My eyes were full of sparkles and flash on seeing such a stunning, beautiful thing.

"Is...that...a...chainsaw?" I asked with surprising gladness.

"Yes, my faithful student. Since you've already mastered what you need to completely use your talent, it's time for me to teach you something...about surviving in the real world."

Said the princess with a trustful glance.

"But..wasn't I too young for such...a weapon?" I looked at the beautiful yet dangerous chainsaw. I thought I had already loved it since the first sight. "I am afraid it might hurt somepony and even myself. Besides, how am I going to survive with this?"

"It's too much to explain in a hurry, and first, before you can own this, you must promise me, not to use it the wrong way, and to protect whatever you should with it. Once you've yet again mastered what I'm going to teach you, you're going to be a real expert."

"Yes, yes I will!"

Start from that day four years ago,I had been following princess Celestia for secret lessons and trainings, on how to exterminate zombies.

But since then, my behavior was starting to become strange. Until my parents to force me to tell what happened, I asked again my teacher for help.

I was putting way too much attention to zombie-slicing, that I had even forgotten the most basic manners and my original behavior. Then I was suggested to develop an interest, other than reading.

Wandering around high school during a break, I found a club quite interesting - cheer squad. Right now on the moment I was lack on some physical activities too, make this will help on both sides?

Then with no doubt,I joined the club, to surprisingly find out, I was quite well on it. Then after three and half years of joining the club, I became the cheerleader of it, the Equestria High school cheer squad. How amazing.

Now, I just had combined my cheerleading skills and my chainsaw together, making fighting zombies more fun and efficiently.

In order to keep up my nutrients, I eat lollipops. Boy, I love lollipops so much, especially Strawberry flavored ones. They didn't have much calories, and is just the perfect food for me.

Oh well, back to nowadays. Today is my birthday, 18th birthday! I was so glad of it, but still, I have to go to work. More specifically, I have to go to meet the princess at the Canterlot castle. And it's now -

8:48! Gotta go!

I quickly jumped off bed, used my magic to pick up a comb to tidy my hair, then packed up all the stuff I need into a bag. Files, wallet, ID, phone, and last but not least, my chainsaw and lollipops.

"Spike, I'm going! Take care of everything around while I'm left!"

I yelled to the baby dragon, who was still in bed upstairs.

"Huh? Oh, uh.Twilight, okay, count..on...me...*snore*" He replied with unclear, discrete sentences and words.

"Sigh...he was always like that." I quietly spoke, then rushed out of the door and slammed it hard.

"BANG!"

The unconscious bang woke up the dragon in great surprise.

"Woaaaaaah! Wha, what? Oh-please Twilight, that almost gave me heart attack..."

====

Early on the streets of Canterlot, there at least should be some unicorns walking around - but strangely, not today. The streets were so empty and quiet, just like it's a ghost town.

But this is impossible. Something must have happened, and I don't have time for this - gotta head to the castle, right NOW!

I looked at my phone. 8:51.

Alright, I am going to be late, if I don't run as fast as I can now.

And so, I slightly put away my manner of walking properly on the streets like an unicorn should, and run at the top of my leg's speed.

Running to a cross section, I turned right, and saw the things that I don't want to see most in such a hurry.

Not couples arguing, not a car crash, not old ponies felling onto the ground.....

Zombie ponies. A BIG crowd of them. And they were blocking my way!

Oh my, when was it since the last outbreak? Guess I have to clear this mess before going to where I need to.

"Seriously?"

I dropped my bag on the hard floor, hide my iPhone and lollipops well, then take out my beloved chainsaw, and started it.

VRRRRRRRRRRRRRRN!

"Today is my birthday- "

I rushed towards the horde of undeads, slicing the chainsaw through them, bringing some flying blood and flesh pieces.

"And I am about to be late -"

Then, followed by a zombie running towards me and take attempt to punch me, I jumped through him and vertically sliced him into half.

"You all are gonna block my way?!"

I swung the chainsaw in a circle, chopping a few heads down.

"UNDEAD DOUCHEBAGS!!"

In a quick blink, whole of the crowd was turned into dismembered flesh and piles of blood.

"OMFG!"

This is me, Twilight Sparkle, in another identity, of being a quite veteran zombie hunter instead of a 'bookworm' my foes called me. But too bad, I cannot grind them with this, since I has already promised my teacher not to use it to harm live ponies.

Except...they're undeads now too.

This was going to be funny to find my foes and see if they're in the herd, but I am really about to late.

I then hold the chainsaw with my magic and run fast again in my four hooves.

====

"Finally to the castle."

I said, looking at the tall gate, between the black iron bars, blood can be roughly seen.

"Now, how do I get inside..?"

I shook the gate. It's locked tight.

Hmm, I think the princess won't mind if I use some brutal force to proceed on my way-

*SCCREEEECH - VNNNNNNNNNN*

I sawed the tall gate into half. And followed by two loud BANGS, they fell onto the cold hard floor.

Well, We can use magic to fix it anyway.

"Princess? Mr. Guards? Anypony home? Hello?"

I held my chainsaw tight, slowly walking into the castle's garden, and yelled loudly.

I looked around. Nopony was there, even no royal guards were on position.

That's odd. They never leave their position in any situations, even if the castle is falling apart.

Until I saw the blood trail and hoofprints on all over the floor and walls, and the elegant decorations were all messed up and broken, I then realizes, zombies must have break into the castle.

But how? The gates were locked up tight as hell!

I turned left to a corridor, and what I saw was really stunning: a big horde of zombie ponies slowly walking towards a few servant ponies. Standing in front of them, is three royal guards holding spears trying to hold zombies backwards.

"Stay away! Don't come any closer!"

"Aaah, get away from us!"

Oh no, they were being pushed into a dead-end! I gotta save them!

"Hold on ponies, I am coming!"

I said as I rushed to the flesheaters with excitement and annoyance. I haven't experienced an outbreak since years ago, it's a great chance for me to move my limbs more. The annoying thing is, these scales of outbreaks usually consists of large quantities of undeads to deal with, and there will be some strong, powerful ponies who getting possessed and unwillingly joined the allies of zombies.

And mostly, there should be somepony who is behind all of this, and there are various reasons for them to unleash the undeads. Hate, racism, unknown fetish....and mostly, the person is being ignored, hated and starting to think incorrectly.

After a dozens of knocking, smashing and slashing, the crowd was controlled and cleared.

"Whew." I lowered my chainsaw and said, "It's safe now."

"Thank you so much, Twilight!'

"Yeah, Miss Twilight, you saved our life."

"You don't need to thank, me, really. It's my job to protect ponies from undeads. Besides, why is the castle breached? Wasn't it protected properly?" I asked one of the guards.

"It was, but, the zombie ponies did managed to crush and break a hole at the castle wall, and so they flow in like water. We hardly managed to hold 'em off, but we got separated from the captain during the fight."

"You mean, my brother? Is he in danger?"

"I don't really know, but he was fighting with a even larger group of zombies, and when we last saw him, he went upstairs with them following him."

"Okay, I got it, thanks. Please help me bring the others to safety."

"Will do, and be careful, Twilight." A guard said.

I nodded to him, watching him and the other two guards bringing the servant ponies outside. Then, I run up stairs.

Hope my brother is okay...

====

On arriving upstairs, there was nothing but blood and part of limbs and fleshes. Luckily I didn't see any of the royal guard's armor, that means they and my brother is still safe.

I keep walking through the long, long corridor, went through doors and suddenly, I heard some noises from the end of the corridor, in the big room ahead.

It was the princess's room. And who I just heard, is my brother shouting loud.

"Back off! Don't come any closer!"

I started to run fast, trying to reach the doors before things going worse.

Then, I heard the sounds of a few magic blasts, and followed by my brother's shriek.

Just a few miles, c'mon Twilight!

I banged open the door, seeing princess Celestia standing backwards, and a zombie unicorn was trying to bite my brother in the neck!

It has only a few seconds for me to think before my brother was bitten to death.

The only weapon I got, is my chainsaw. And it never leaves my hooves since I got it and became a zombie hunter. I don't know how will it be when i let it go, and I've never tried it before.

But I have no choice. My brother might be dead before I can actually run to him and saw that zombie into half.

I gotta try this. No matter how, and what will happens next.

"Shining! Watch out!" I yelled, then I put my front hooves backwards, and quickly send the chainsaw flying towards the zombie pony on my brother, just like throwing a javelin.

It worked well, and I am glad I did do that.

The fast-moving chain of the chainsaw perfectly slashed the zombie's head off, and it's teeth was about to reach my brother's neck.

"Shining Armor! Are you all right?!" Princess Celestia asked in worriness.

"I am fine, your highness. And, thanks, Twilight."

"Zombies just won't listen to you, my big brother, their brain is useless."

I chuckled and walked towards the stopped chainsaw lodged into the carpet on the ground, picking it up. "That's why we would have to destroy it."

"Twilight! You are okay too! Thank my own beard, I am worrying about you."

"No worries, princess, I am here fine and unharmed. By the way, why is there an outbreak, again?"

"Reasons are still unknown, but we can sure this time there's somepony powerful and strong behind this." My brother answered me.

"The outbreak was reported early this morning. We still have no clue who will do such a thing."

Oh, forgot to say, my brother, my teacher, and most of my friends were all zombie hunters. We just have different styles of hunting, and we used different weapons. For Shining and princess Celestia, they used magic to dismember zombies.

"From the left magic power found on the dead zombies before they disappears, it seems like this is a strong, brute pony who did all of these. And with such a large number of zombies and their destructive power, his or her final scheme must be world domination or destruction." My brother continues.

"But, unfortunately, Twilight, me and princess Celestia have to stay here and guard all over Canterlot, to prevent the zombies from spawning again. So, it's up to you to clear the whole country and find and kill who caused this all."

It wasn't surprising me. Since I 've became a zombie hunter four years ago, I have been dealing with different outbreak events with different scales. For this national-scaled one, it will just be lasting s bit longer and more tired.

"Do you need me to brief you again, Twilight? On about how to terminate the zombies and what happened behind all these incidents."

"Sure, I'ld love to, princess."

"Okay, then listen carefully.

The whole universe is divided into three dimensions: Land of Virtues, World of Sins, and our dimension, Earth. Plus the Sun and Moon, composing the whole Universe.

Between the World of Sins and Earth, it's strictly protected by unknown ethereal powers and forces. Only a hooffull of ponies, like me could have power to break the gateway between the two dimensions. And also, extremely-great physical force may also do that, but this must be very destructive, like explosives and magic blasts.

The zombie ponies were actually dead spirits arisen from the World of Sins. They hurt innocent ponies, destroy properties and causes horror.Unlike religions and rumors, they are not infectious, but are brutal and have powerful hooves, kicks and magics that could easily kill unarmed and normal ponies.

One of the most effective way to completely eliminate a zombie, is to give the maximum damage to the head, like gunshot and decapitation. And for your weapon, Twilight, is one of the best weapon against zombies. Combined with your cheerleading skills, I can sure you can beat all the crap outta there. While you're cleaning zombies, we will do our best to find out who is behind all of these.

Lastly, good luck, Twilight."

"You can count on me, princess, I will surely -"

"Your...your highness! The..there, outside at the Canterlot sculpture garden!"

A royal guard rushed in suddenly. His armor is full of scratches and blood, as well several injuries and tears.

"What happened outside?"

"A...an unicorn...an azure unicorn..standing on the sculpture..of Discord.."

"Huh? Speak clearly please, sir guard?" I said in urge.

"It..it was Trixie!"A familiar voice said.

It was Spike.

"Spike? Why are you here? Shouldn't you be sleeping on bed lifelessly?"

"I got completely woke up by your door-bang of kindness. No time to talk about now.. It was Trixie who was standing on Discord outside!"

"Trixie? Who was that? My memory's hazy..."

"The Great and Powerful Trixie! That unicorn who bragged so much abuser her magic, humiliated our friends, and when Snips and Snails went to startle a Ursa Minor and led it to Ponyville, she got totally fucked up and claim that it was all a lie about she can beat that monster! Then you used your magic to -"

"Okay, okay, I can remember that already...Wasn't she left Ponyville already?"

"I think you should go out and see it yourself. She looks so different than last time..."

"Right. Hop on my back,we'll go together."

I immediately rushed outside to the sculpture garden, followed by the princess.

"Wait, Twilight, I 'll go with you, just for safety.I can sense an uneasy presence of some strong magical force....Shining, guard the castle well."

"Yes, your highness."

====

It's her.

Trixie, The Great and Powerful Trixie, standing on top of the tall Discord's statue, yelling in joy and madness.

"Why, Twilight Sparkle, long time no see!"

She said in a loud voice - or much likely, yell loudly, with a maniac look on her face.

"Who are you? Tell us your name!"

The princess yelled loudly, just like when she was facing Discord.

"Oh! Your majesty! I got to tell you, this place is horrible as hell !

I do have strength, power and I had no fear and doubt to call my self the best unicorn in Equestria.

Well? Everypony disrespected me! Calling me loser, lair, retarded...any kinds of insult!

But, you'll see, you ALL will see, no more of these will ever last!

If the world rejected me, ridiculed me, I'm gonna make this world BURN! I'll show you!"

She said in anger and fury as we kept a distance, preventing her from suddenly attacking us.

"What are you talking about? It's all yourself who made you became like this!" I replied, holding my chainsaw tight.

"NO! All of you were the same! Every city I went across, the ponies talked the same to me! Rude, insult, bad words!"

"I guess you've already forgotten how you bragged yourself and humiliated ore friends, don't you?" Spike, who was on my back, said.

"Heh heh heh..of course not, how I could forget something that's so funny like this? And I'm deciding to make this more funnier!"

She lifted the black leather-covered book in her left hoof, and it starts to emit strange purple aura and some lightning sparkles.

And suddenly, princess gave a great gasp.

"That book...impossible! That's the book hiding the only ritual that can break the barrier between the two worlds! How did she..get the book?"

"What's going on, princess?"

"That book, the unicorn's holding, is an extremely top secret! One of the sections in it have clearly explained and stated that how to start the only devastating enough ritual to damage the barrier between Our world and the World of Sins! If the ritual is succeed, there will be a great leak between our dimensions and the evil souls from the World of Sins will pour into Earth! And the most important of all...

only Aletheia and I knew where it was kept!"

"Huh? Who..is Aletheia?"

"She is one of my personal yet secret assistants, but the first thing we have to do is STOP HER RIGHT NOW!"

Said the princess, who expanded her wings and flew to Trixie.

"Hahahahahahahahaha, sorry, princess, you can't break the rules! The ritual have to go on, and the world has to be destroyed!"

Then, after a loud bang, she was knocked back from miles of Trixie, and managed to safely land in four hooves, with a clear bruise and burn at her forehead.

"Princess! Are you okay? What was that?!"

"I am alright, Twilight...it seems that she have already unleashed almost all of the ancient magical powers of that book. Even me do not have the power to completely control it..."

Princess Celestia said in a serious manner, still keeping her eyes at Trixie.

"Prepare...for the biggest horror you ever seen in your life!"

She yelled, then starting to slowly, softly pronounce a bunch of spells.

"For my obey to the king of evil, I request you for the aid of destroying this pathetic Earth, summon the five deadly spirits, possess, rot, ruin the world!"

A sudden stroke of lightning gave me a complete shock in the heart.

"Shit! That almost freak me out.." Spike said in surprise.

Then, a big, dark cloud formed up on the sky above, followed by more lightnings, and I can barely see from the cloud, there's five shades. Shades of ponies, having wings, probably pegasus, and...is that pointy thing on their forehead....horns?

"No...how could they.."

"Did you know those ponies, princess? Who are they?"

"They're my assistants! Five of them, four pegacorns and one pegasus!"

"Pegacorn? But..how could that be possible? I thought there are only three Pegacorn princesses in Equestria! How come.." Spike said.

"That is a long story, and I don't have time to tell it now. They five were missing since two weeks ago, after a weekend, and now...they 're the 'evil spirits'..? What the hell is going on.."

I looked carefully and closely at one of the flying ponies. She seemed to have titanic strength, determining from the motorcycle she is carrying back on her shoulder.

I looked at the pony's exposed skin, and strangely,I can hardly find any signs of necrosis due to zombification. The only visible one is the long, long stitches around her neck - or much likely, she had been decapitated. And her eyes was having an uncomfortable-feeling glowing orange.

"Princess, who is that pony?" I asked, pointing at the Pegacorn with my chainsaw.

"You mean the one with a motorcycle? She's Siren, Siren Scarlett. Why 're you asking that?"

"If she is becoming a zombie, shouldn't her body and appearance shown extensive decay? All I can see is her head being chopped off and sewed back to her body. Nothing else."

"You're right...and I remembered, the scar was presenting since we met, I can ensure this. That means, she's not completely 'dead' yet...."

"I guess so,but how can we explain she's on Trixie's side then?"

"No time for more chit-chatting, ladies! Enjoy the very last few moments of your stay on this world, a miserable, terrifying, fragile Earth!"

Trixie yelled in a much louder voice, and once again, she lifted the book high into midair, looking at the five flying ponies.

"Ponies! Rot the country, I command you! Slash, destroy, burn, liquefy, grind and kill everything and every part of it!"

"Not a chance, ruffian!"

I yelled, and restarted my chainsaw, then quickly run towards the statue of Discord, lifted the chainsaw and horizontally cut into the base of it.

It took not so long time for me to completely sawn it half, and when it does, it immediately collapses and falls, same as the unicorn standing on top of it.

"Ack!" Trixie gave a loud groan on landing, the book slipped away from her hoof.

"And now, this one..!" I run towards the unicorn's book, who was far away a few miles from where she was.

As I hold the chainsaw downwards and was about to rip it...!

"Watch out!" Princess Celestia yelled,and grabbed me tight, falling together aside, just the right moment to dodge a few giant red glowing letters hitting the position I was just standing and shattered into invisible particles.

"You can actually dodge 'em! Both of you! I am soooooooo fucking impressed, woo-hoo!"

A stallion voice said loudly.

Then I saw an dark orange Pegasi, with an exaggerate red tall mohawk, iron-made spiky collar and belt, a necklace with a badge of Celestia's cutie mark's logo on it, large grey vest and sleeveless, collar-less shirt printed the words 'PUNK ROCK REPUBLICA', and front leg bracelets.

A set of obliviously punk rocker outfit. In fact, it's kind of cool, too.

"Who are you?" I asked, struggling to stand up from the grass, same as the princess.

"Don't ask, let's play. PISS OFF!"

He said, and for the last two words, they turned to again, giant red-glowing letters that going really fast and hit me and the princess unconsciously and sending us far, far away.

Stage 1 -Everfree Forest

9:50 am, Everfree Forest

"Oww...my head, where am I?" I said, while climbing up from the soft grass on the ground.

I looked around, my chainsaw was lying beside me, as well as Spike.

"Spike! Wake up, Spike!" I shook the baby dragon, trying to wake him up.

"Argh, Twilight, I can't move... It seems like I just broke my knee on landing.." He said while covering his bruised left knee with his hands.

I picked up the chainsaw. "By the way, where is the princess...?" I said, while looking around and scanning the area.

I can hardly see under all these dark. The thick canopy above just completely blocked every single beam of sunlight.

"Twilight, where are you? I can't see a thing...OW!" Spike said, as he tried to get up, resulting in pain from the knee.

"Hold on, I will make a light source." I said, as I started to accumulate magic on my horn, and within several seconds, a steady beam of magic who was glowing in a purple aura was formed, gradually lighting up the place.

"Much better, right, Spike?"

"Uh, yeah, a bit... Hey, was that a zombie groaning?"

"Nope, I didn' hear anyth-"

"GRRRRRR!"

"Okay, I can hear it. It IS a zombie's groan. I guess we should move out of this place quickly, and..you really can't move, right?"

"Ah, yes. As you can see, my knee hurts."

"Fine," I said, "Just hop on my back, and be sure to hold tight, I am going with my back legs. I ain't got any time to find you back on my way."

"Got it!" He managed to stand up from the ground, and climbed onto my back.

"Alright, let's move." I started the chainsaw, and ran towards the closest source of light.

"Oh hell, where could the princess be?" Spike asked, still moaning about his injuries.

"I don't know either, but we got to move. It's always better than staying here doomed."

I keep on moving in the dark woods, with the dim magic aura to barely light up the way.

"YEAHHHHHHH! WELCOME TO THE EVERFREE FOREST, YOU ZOMBIE-HUNTING SLEAZE!"

"Whoa! Who is that guy?" Spike said in surprise.

"He seemed to be one of the princess's assistants, and was possessed or something..."

I said, when suddenly, we heard the sound of breaking bushes, and followed by the place we're standing being lit up with sunlight.

"Sunlight! Finally, now we can see-"

"SPIKE! WATCH OUT!"

I said, as I suddenly saw a few red-glowing giant letters going through the canopy and falling to us.

"Hold tight!" I yelled, as I roughly dodged through a few letters. The letters whom missed just simply hit into the ground and breaks into invisible particles.

"Fuck! What are these things?!" Spike yelled, while grabbing my back tight.

"I don't know, but it must be hurt if we got hit by 'em!"

I managed to dodge almost all of the letters, but unfortunately, I was not fast enough to dodge the very LAST one.

As it was about to hit me, I lifted the chainsaw and give a perfect-timed swing, cutting through and shattering the giant 'E' letter.

"Whew, that was close." I said, panting heavily.

"NICE MOVE, BITCH, AND YOU'RE GONNA LOVE THIS! AW-YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"

The voice yelled again, and this time, the yell is really loud, causing the ground to shake.

It shook so violently that I almost can't stand still, plus thousands of leaves from the tall trees being shaken off.

Then, all of a sudden, the dirt on the ground rumbled, just like something is climbing out from it.

Yes, something IS climbing out from the ground - zombies.

Flesh eaters, fresh from the deep soil underneath.

"Well, at least we can see clearly." I hold the chainsaw tight, looking at the emerging zombies, waiting for the movements to decapitate them in a row.

"Bitch!" A blurry voice said from the herd.

"Huh? They can talk?! How come?" Spike said in surprise.

"They could, but with limited intellegence and having a really miserable attitude." I said quietly, "I'm already get used to it."

"But this is so irritating!"

"Don't be mad, as we shouldn't- to these stupids. We gotta save up our anger for the big boss up ahead.." I lifted the running chainsaw.

"I'm gonna munch your brain!"

For the next second, the zombie's head were already sliced vertically into half, as well as its body.

The blood splashed out quickly in a large amount, forming a rainbow under the shining sunlight.

"WOW! Why is there rainbows formed everytime you slice a zombie into half?"

"It 's MAGIC."

I said, while cutting the front legs off a zombie pony.

More and more of them are coming out from the ground, starting to fill up the narrow area of forest with noisy groans and insulting phrases.

"Okay,enough for all these douchebags! Time to die!" I said, crouching onto the ground, then spinning myself quickly, also with the chainsaw, cutting down the zombie ponies's legs quickly.

Then, without doubt, I quickly shoot up from the ground, doing a few somersaults while grabbing my glowing chainsaw tight, further slicing the grounded zombies into half again.

I keep on repeating these moves, and after slaying over hundreds of zombies, I found that they were spawning continuously, and seemed to be more tougher and stronger, that I might not be able to hold them off with myself only.

"We should keep pushing forward, Twilight, don't spend much time on them. We gotta find the princess!"

"I agree, let's move then."I said, then cutting a zombie pony who was blocking my way into half.

VNNNNNNNN, "Back off!"

====

"Finally, a place with no trees!"

I said, on arriving to an area almost without trees, just a piece of shallow grassland.

Strangely, the place have NO zombies. Not even their spooky groaning and irritating bad language were heard.

"Odd, I can't see any zombies in sight..." Spike said as he was looking around on my back.

"Me either. This is strange..."

Sun shining, birds chirping, grass shaking...all these peaceful moments are too weird.

"YOU FUCKIN' BITCH, TAKE THIS!"

Oh Celestia,that's really so rude. I swear if I could find him I am going to make him shut up forever.

Just as i about to move across this huge piece of grassland, I sensed something.

It feels like something is coming towards us quickly.

And it comes really quickly, right from behind me.

"Twilight! Watch -"

As Spike was going to yell and remind me. I quickly jumped from the ground, doing a backflip and dodged the coming object.

It lands and hit the ground hardly, causing a few shakes.

I looked at its back. A pair of bat wings, a scorpion's tail, lion-like hair, and most importantly, large rips all over the body and exposed, rotten flesh.

Could it be..?

It turned around, facing me with a vicious look, proving that my guessing is correct.

A Manticore. Zombified Manticore.

Alright, I knew all these thing are going to be hard and tricky, but a manticore....I don't know how to cook it!

Every kind of zombies have their specific way to cook. Like normal zombie ponies, just give them the maximum physical damage, especially in the head, then they can be easily killed. For this kind of giant, zombified wild beasts, I had never faced them before.

Boy, I hope Princess Celestia was here.

Without a moment for me to think, the zombie Manticore quickly ran towards me, howling, waving its paws, about to injure me badly.

Of course, I will not let him do so.

I waved my chainsaw and stood still with my back hooves, ready to stab the gigantic monster with it.

*VNNNNNNNN!* *CRASH!*

"Argh!" I yelled in pain, while being knocked back a few miles away from where I was standing.

"Twilight!" Spike aside said, he just jumped off from my back as I told him to do so.

The chainsaw was still in my hooves, but got the chains stuck with some fur and flesh.

I stood up in pain, looking back at the zombie Manticore. Its abdomen were completely ripped open, exposing its rotting flesh and guts, as well as the broken-dam like flowing blood.

"Goddamn it!" I tried to use my magic to remove the stuff that got my chainsaw stuck.

The Manticore ignored its injuries and jumped towards me, even more angrily. And I didn't noticed that.

I was too busy concentrating my mind on cleaning the chainsaw, didn't noticed Spike's warning fast enough.

When I reaised it, the manticore was just a mile or two away from me.

As I pulled out my pom-poms and ready to give it a stunning attack in the head, it suddenly accelerates and speeded up so quickly, directly bumping into me with a loud bang.

Again, I was knocked far away for another few miles. This time, more serious injuries : a black bruise on my forehead, tears and cuts all over my legs and hooves, and the most important and disgusting thing, that crush just transferred some of that Manticore's disgusting aroma and blood to me, stained my purple coat, and some fell onto my hair.

Though I looked so messy, I ain't got any time to clean myself up. The Manticore shot it's paws so quickly, along with its deadly sharp claws, trying to rip me into pieces. He seemed to know that I already took some damage from him, forcing my movement to slow down a lot.

Great, now I am hurt, my chainsaw was out of order, and an instant-kill monster is fighting me, a one side-down fight.

I can only barely dodge his attacks, since the sudden pain brought by all those injuries greatly slowed me down. And if I don't, the sharp claws will surely stab into my eyes and further killing me.

I need some help, but who? Spike is too young and weak to fight, and Princess Celestia is missing..

As I leaped and dodged another deadly swing, something suddenly come up into my mind.

A spell, whom Princess Celestia taught me to use when I was in extreme danger, situations like mutated zombies, or too much enemies that I couldn't hold off, I am badly injured, something like this, I can use this spell to save myself. In which it will heal and give me tripled power on all weapons for a short moment of time. And the spell have some limits to use, like I must execute enough enemies, and I can only use it once every twenty minutes.

Now, it should be the suitable moment of time to use this spell.

I started to concentrate power at my horn, and speeding up the process as fast as I could, before that Manticore ever hit me again.

When magic starting to flow and becoming stronger and stronger, the pain brought by the injuries are seemed to be starting to reduce, and a sudden feeling of my front hooves and legs being temporarily overpowered and strengthened.

Once it's fully complete, I was soon covered in a flashing coat of rainbow colored mist. I can feel that my energy is being quickly restored, even break through its climax.

"Eat it!" I yelled, and now is my turn to attack. I run straight towards the Manticore,lifting my chainsaw, and horizontally cut into its neck.

Surprisingly, I don't know whether its neck is really that weak, or my chainsaw is really that powerful, with one single, light slash, I cut the Manticore' head down. Clean, swift and quickly. Then, its corpse disappeared into beautiful pink sparkles.

"Amazing! This is awesome, Twilight!" Spike yelled in excitement.

"This is not done yet, Spike." I said, looking at the dusting ground with zombies climbing out.

"Oh my Celestia, you can't handle this alone, Twilight!"

"Why couldn't I? Before it's gone, let's try out more of this great spell."

The zombies spawned quickly, surronding us in a circle, there were total a hundred of them.

I wasn't afraid of them. In fact, I am quite excited now, can't wait to cut all of their heads down in a single swing.

They started to run at me, with unknown groans, roars and screams, didn't even realize that their death is well nigh.

"Yeah, come on, come on, come on, come on!" I said, waiting for the best moment of attack, calculating about which angle should I swing my chainsaw to deal to maximum damage to these douchebags.

Screw that, I ain't got time to think about that. I'll go straight anyway!

I stood still, then hold my breath, until a moment that the zombies getting really close, then I turned standing with a single back leg, spinning circles with my flaming-bladed chainsaw, cutting heads down one by one, as they just ran to me recklessly without thought.

Quickly, all the zombies were terminated, and the effect of the spell ended at the right exactly same time.

I guess my suddenly-extended strength and instant-kill ability ended when the spell is gone. My injuries got all fixed, and I feel like my energy is fully recharged, making me feeling a lot less exhausted.

"If it wasn't this spell, I could be totally dead right now! OMG, when we meet Princess Celestia again I gotta thank her so much."

"Speaking of the princess, I just saw her flew across in the sky."

"Really? Which direction did she went to?"

"Uh...I think she went North." Spike said and pointed at the northern woods. Behind the trees and tall bushes, I can barely see a few stone pillars pointing high from the ground.

"That's the direction to the former castle's ruins..why is she going there?"

"Wait, Twilight, I remembered that, when I saw the letters flying towards us, they were coming Fromm the exact direction of the ruins. Could it be, the princess is heading to one of her assistants?"

"You're right..I think we should go there to meet her. Hop on, Spike, we're moving."

"Alright."

Boss Fight : Frankie

We went pass the woods, the hanging, cranky bridge, finally arrived at the entrance of the castle ruins.

"Here we are, Spike, it's where we retrieved the Elements of Harmony."

"Twilight, how long have this place been abandoned already?"

"Hm, according to the books I've read, it was abandoned since the princesses defeated Discord, winning trust of the three pony races. Then, the new castle was built in Canterlot. That means, it's already left vacant for a thousand years."

"A thousand years, and it's still standing still? It must be very tough."

"Let's head inside. We gotta find the princess, and that evil spirit.."

I said, slowly walking inside, and holding my chainsaw in case we've seen any zombies.

===

Under the bright sunlight, though there's no light source inside the castle, I can still see very clearly. The castle was a total empty, with shattering, weathering rocks and broken walls, as well as marble pillars lying on the floor.

As I was wondering is Princess Celestia here, I saw a long, white feather on the stone floor.

I picked up the feather with magic.

"This must belong to Princess Celestia, that means she is inside..."

I said to myself, when suddenly the punk rock zombie's voice is heard again.

"WELCOME TO THE BIG SHOW!"

He screamed, causing the whole ruins to shake violently, and breaking a stone wall ahead of me.

Behind the stone wall, was the pony we've been looking for.

Princess Celestia was half-crouching there, peeping through a hole in another wall.

"Princess! Thank god you're alright!"

The princess seemed to be surprised about my sudden-appear, and after a few seconds of calm down, she spoke quietly:

"Oh, it's you, Twilight. And Spike too."

"What are you looking at, princess?"

"Frankie. One of my assistants, as I mentioned before. I don't want to draw his attention, so I am talking so quietly."

"So his name is Frankie...that bastard, I can't wait to cut his thorax into pieces."

"He busted profanity to you, right?" Princess said.

"Yes, and it's so rude."

"Twilight, I have to explain something first. Listen carefully, as you're going to fight him."

"Okay, please tell me."

"For all the five ponies, they each represents a different theme of music, and have their own special ability. I will tell you about the other four later, and for Frankie, as you can see, he plays Punk Rock, and his ability is materializing the words and letters he just yelled, turning them into blocky, deadly fast-going solids. Also, he is very fast, and have the ability to summon giant amplifiers and speakers. Go on and saw him as messy as you want. Once you killed the evil spirit that controls him, he should be turning back to normal."

"Why wouldn't you fight him and turning him back yourself, princess? Were you injured or something happened?"

"Frankie's attacks are almost all close-ranged, and for me, I am not good at close combats. Twilight, you are using a chainsaw, which is effective and can be an encounter to him. So, good luck, and be careful."

"Yes, princess."

====

I walked to the edge of the broken stone corridor, finally saw the Punk rock zombie.

He was standing at the center of the main castle hall, shaking to the heavy punk rock music played by the speakers hidden behind the in growing plants and trees around the hall. Also, there we a few stagelights shining the hall, despite there were sufficient light by the sunshine outside.

"Look at his mohawk, Spike, it probably took him three hours to spike it this morning!"

"Wow! Is it really that needy much?"

"We'll see, once I cut his lips off with my chainsaw! ♥"

I said, jumping down from the edge I was standing, doing a somersault in midair, then safely landed.

I looked around. Strangely, Frankie disappeared.

"Where Did he go....?" I said quietly to myself, when I didn't notice that the pony was standing at a marble beam high above me, looking at me and laughed,

"I'm gonna crush your face!"

I heard the scream, then quickly jumped and do a back somersault, dodging the microphone whom hit the place I was standing hardly with a loud BANG, creating a small crater.

"Hahaha, I'm loving this shit!"

====

I took out a lollipop, when suddenly the punk rock pony yelled again.

"YEEEEEEEAAAAAAAH! Your ass is mine"

The scream was so sudden and so loud, that gave big impact to my eardrums. I quickly covered my ear with the hoof I'm holding a lollipop, protecting my ears.

"Mmmm, I love the smell of almost-dead cheerleader in the morning!"

"You are the pony who keep on insulting Twilight?" Spike said on my back.

"Yeah, It's surprising to see you're still alive! Fuckin' awesome!" He said, while holding his microphone and jumping up and down.

Ugh, I hate his attitude so much.

Without saying a word, I rushed towards him, and he wasn't quick enough to react, giving me a great chance to slash him several times in a row.

"Ouch-!" He laughed, broke into a quick dash, running around me in a circle, then stopped suddenly, trying to spear me with the clawed end of his microphone.

"Take this, Whore!" He yelled when doing the move, but missed as I leaped away from him, then when he was standing up from crouch, I kicked him several times with my pom-poms, damaging him.

He thus stood up quickly, then started running, zig-zagging around the whole stage. I kept my eyes on his very swift movements, until I did a wrong-timing blink, and when I opened my eyes again, he was already standing in front of me.

His microphone hit me hard, injuring and pushing me a few miles backwards.

"Your pain is my art!"

He said victoriously, while breaking into another quick-running, unstoppable mist which trying to stop suddenly and attack me.

I dodged several attempts of him attacking me, and on realize that his attacks are currently immune to me, he shout in anger, then jumping onto the center of the stage, holding his microphone with his two front hooves, standing with two back hooves, bending down, breathing in hard.

"Arrrrrrrrrgh!"

Followed by the loud scream of profanity:

"FUCKIN' BITCH!"

The words then turned into blocky, red and black giant letters, flying towards me as a whole sentence.

"Fuck! Giant letters!" Spike yelled on my back.

I slashed my chainsaw into the letter N just at the right timing, dodging the rest of the words.

While he was standing still, I took another chance, besides hitting him with pom-poms, I also gave several heavy, deep slash an cut of my chainsaw, greatly weakening him.

For the chains just swiped through his thorax, He jumped, bending and breathing in hard, giving out a blast of the words:

"STUPID COOZE!!!"

Again, the letters formed, flying towards me, and this time I simply jumped over them.

Then, he became more faster, harder to target and hit.

I tried to hurt and injure him more, and suddenly he tried another attempt to knock me with his microphone. This time, I was not fast enough to dodge, again, letting the spiky top of his microphone once hit me again.

He stood still and lifted his microphone high as a sign of victory, again, then maintained stationery for a short, few seconds.

Another great chance for me to hit him.

"Twilight, let's give this dude a new asshole on his forehead!"

"I'm already on it!" I said, running towards him from the edge of the stage, slashing him, kicking him, until I think that he is already weak enough, then for one of the most exciting scene in this fight.

I lifted the chainsaw high, and when he couldn't notice it and is completely defenseless,

I pushed the chainsaw deep into his head, with the fast running chains cutting through his head, over the skin, deep into the skull, brain, throat, chest...all the way down his body, almost slashing him half - I stopped at the position of the pelvis, as the blood spilling and splashing is blurring my eyes.

The upper part of his body were completely slashed open, and on this process, I also chopped his Anarcny necklace into half.

"Owwwwwwwwwwwww - " He yelled, then slowly, using his two hooves, pushing his departed body back together,

"Whohohoho, you think THAT hurts me? I'm just JIZZED a little, huhhahahahaha!"

He said loudly, then screamed in a much sharper and louder voice than before.

"YEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!"

Then, driven by unknown force, several towers of amplifers and speakers fell from the sky, dropping on the floor hard, causing a series of shakings.

Frankie then jumped onto one tower of three speakers, shooting a section of the tall mohawk on his head, turning it to a quick-spinning red disc, just swiped past my shoulder in a high velocity. I almost got hit.

"Eat my mohawk, you Barbie-looking dirty slut!" He screamed, standing on the speakers, shaking to the music.

I ran towards the tower he was standing, slashing through and destroying the lowest speaker, turning it into golden shards with glass-breaking sound.

"Fuck!" He yelled as I destroyed a speaker, then leaped high from there, landing on another speaker.

As I was about to run to where he was standing, Spike suddenly said:

"Twilight, I think you should destroy this two as well." He pointed at the two leftover speakers that remain untouched.

"Don't you think I should chase him down first?"

"He might jump back to here again when you destroyed the speakers there."

"Hmm, you got the point. Alright, let's do it anyway."

I said, thus swinging my chainsaw, destroys the two speakers, when suddenly,

"Aaaaaaaarrrrrrrgh!" He yelled in a strange tone, then another three speakers suddenly fell again from the sky, knocking me out far away unconsciously.

"Not a chance, whore!" He said, launching another mohawk disc towards me, and I jumped and dodged it.

"He respawned the speakers, Spike!"

"Maybe we should follow the order of his jumping, to kill the appropriate speakers.. Or is that we're not fast enough?"

"Whatever, I will chase him first."

===

Followed by a sequence of chasing, slashing, glass-breaking sounds, and jumping, Frankie was standing on the last tower of speakers.

"Hahaha, I think I have a hard-on for dead cheerleaders!!"

I ran and slashed, destroyed the speakers, then at the moment, he jumped and expanded his wings, flying high into the sky, falling down with a gigantic speaker of at least ten foot tall.

"FUCK! BRING IT ON!"

"Whoa." I was amused by the giant thing, while Spike yelled in urge:

"Twilight, let's fuck up that speaker!"

Alright, let's do it.

I ran to the speaker, staarting from the left side of its bottom, sawing across in a horizontal direction.

While I was continuing with the process, the pony continuously attacked me in different ways.

"VANILIA SLUT!"

The letters formed right above me, in a curved sentence, and soon fell at an incredibly fast speed, which I still do managed to dodge it.

After ensuring I'm safe for a brief moment, I went back to position and keep on cutting the speaker half. When it was half destroyed, I could hear his atmosphere-shaking scream again.

"COCKSUCKER!"

Letters fall, and I dodged them. I wpreally wanted to see how many of such insulting phrase could he speak, but I ain't got that time. Quickly, the speaker was sawn into half, and after several kicks, it collapses and disappeared.

The pony on top fell down from a high distance. I could hear a bone cracking sound.

"Almost there, Twilight!"

I rushed towards him, again, cutting him into half by abdomen. The chainsaw shoved deep into his body, tearing the jacket and the sleeveless shirt he's wearing.

As he was almost sliced into half, his upper half body dropped and fell behind.

"Oh..shit!"

Then, he pushed himself back,again proving my attack didn't hurt him much,

"Heh, that one, actually hurt a little, bitch."

No, wait, that did worked.

And for the rest of the fight, he just simply repeated how he used to attack me at the start, but much faster and deadlier.

He turned to launch more and more discs to me, and sometimes, two at the same time, which they all dodged by me, and a few of them got directed back to Frankie himself.

I slashed him in rings of circles for the very last time, and suddenly, he gave a loud yell, jumping to the center of the stage, remains stationary, giving out his last screams.

He gave another much deeper breath, bursting into the words,

"YEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!"

This time, the letters are much bigger in size, and going much faster, from different directions, forming a ring around him.

"Fucking Giant Letter Bullshit!!" Spike yelled.

"Agh! That hurts.." I got hit by a sudden flying letter, bringing bruise to where it hit me.

"You got to do this quick, Twilight! We couldn't dodge them all!"

"Right, I'm on it!" I jumped through, slashed a few and slipped between the letters, then lifting my chains overhead, again, pushed and slashed it hits his head. This time, I didn't stop until it slices him completely into half.

"Ow, wow, wow! Not cool! FUUUUUUUUUUUCK!"

He screamed, as his dismembered body collapses, slowly slid down, falling onto the ground.

"Fuck me, good moves, whore! Let's see the others rape you with your blood!"

He gave out his last words, before disappearing into a dark blue mist rising up from the ground.

===

"Twilight! You did it!"

Princess Celestia said, jumping down from the broken corridor up ahead.

"Whew, finally, another trash-talking zombie disappeared from our dimension." I said, with a lollipop between my lips.

"Not at all, Twilight, look."

Princess pointed at a pegasus lying on the ground.

Grey jacket, ear piercings, spiked collar, and most improtant of all, the tall red mohawk on his head.

"Did...he turned normal again?"

"After you killed him once when he got possessed, I guess yes."

"I better go check him out." I said, slowly walking towards the lying pony, with my cansaw in my hooves tight.

Just as we're only a few steps apart, I saw his body moving.

Should I call this amazing or terrifying? I vertically departed him twice, sawing him almost in half once, and he still could move, despiting he isn't a zombie anymore, the first thought come up in my mind, this is paranormal.

"Ughh, where..where am I?" He slowly said, sitting up from the ground, looking all over the place.

Then, he turned around, giving a stunning look. Not sure if it's because he saw the princess, or seeing a purple unicorn standing, holding a chainsaw.

"Pr...princess Celestia?"

He slowly spoke, still looking at us curiously.

"Yes, Frankie, it's me. I guess you didn't know what you have done, right?"

"What have I done? Uh, sorry, I couldn't remember a single thing. The last time, I just saw an azure unicorn slowly walking towards me with a big beam of magic accumulated on her horn, then after the flash, my world has been in total darkness, then I was woke up here."

"Good, then I ain't got any reason to blame you. You were innocent, right?"

"What actually happened? I just have no memory about what you are talking about.."

"The azure unicorn who attacked you, probably as well as the other four, have been using you as an aide to rot this world."

"?"

"Zombies." I said, looking at him, " That unicorn, named Trixie, break open the barrier between the World of Sins and the Earth. The whole Equestria is under total attack of them."

"What..? So that's why I am here?"

"Yeah, and you 've been insulting Twilight time to time, you bastard!" Spike yelled, standing aside me, while I quickly coered his mouth with my hoof.

"Spike! He didn't remember anything he've just done and said, because he just got assaulted by that evil spirit! The one who disappeared into blue mist when we killed it!"

"I've insulted you..?"

Frankie stared at me.

"Uh, no, of course not..."

"Twilight, tell him the truth."

"Yeah, girlie, please tell me what had I done."

"Well, you keep on insulting me with profanity and rude language, hitting me with your microphone, mohawk discs and speakers, that's all." I looked at his brass microphone lying on the floor, which should be sawn into half.

I looked at his neck. The wounds disappeared, and his Anarchy necklace remains.

"Oh fuck, what have I done.." He scratched his forehead with his hoof.

"It's not your fault, really. It's the pony who possessed you, Trixie Lunamoon."

"Look, lady, I didn't mean to do that. I am sorry for whatever I've done when I'm unconscious, and that will not happen again."

"I know, I know, you don't need to apologize.."

"Yes I defintly need, and maybe I could do something for you as return..?"

"No, really, I don't need-"

"I think you'll need to, Twilight. I just got a message from PonyVille. Another pony was bringing chaos to the city."

"Who? Is it one of the evil spirits?"

"I couldn't certainly tell, but I am afraid it is. Since it's impossible for you to go there alone, maybe Frankie can help you out."

"I am glad to, certainly I can help."

"I'll leave the rest for you to treat with, Twiight. I gotta return to Canterlot to take control on the zombies." Said the princess, as she disappeared into a light golden magic flash.

"Well, shall we move out?"

"I think we should."

Stage 2 -PonyVille

11:35 am, PonyVille

Using my magic, I immediately sent us back to PonyVille, to cut out all those pesky walkthrough of the blocking-our-way undeads and those forests and trees.

As I can already guess, it's here a mess of PonyVille too.

Burning cars(Yes, cars, like sedan, cabs, Hondas something), severely damaged buildings, crumbled road, and last but not least, the sign of extreme massacre all over the ground. Corpses, blood, flesh tissue, all sort of bloody things you can imagine.

But I have no time to scare. As I even wouldn't if I have time. Since I became a zombie hunter, I've already gone through the most terrifying, psychic-problem causing, and the most scary things. A zombie without a head could still even tried to assault you, have you seen such a thing before? Well, I guess you will have no time to do so because you just have to KILL it!

Same as me right now. I must clear the town and to save anypony I saw on the way, to do the best I can.

I ran towards a zombie, who was sitting on the bloody ground,feasting upon a dead pony's flesh.

Time for you to end the feast, scumbag!

Quietly, without speaking a word, even holding my breath, and might as well as pulse if I can, I lifted the chainsaw high, waiting for the newly-upgraded chains to burn, then, a vertical swing, perfectly slicing the zombie into half.

I think the chains were also sharpened a lot with the upgrade, as I even can't hear a single sound of bone-breaking, and when it cut through undead's flesh, it's just like cutting tofu. Soft, moist, bloody, and NASTY.

"That was a beautiful one." Frankie said, standing aside me, stabbing, jabbing and knocking the undeads with his potentially-lethal microphone. It's now all covered in blood and very little bits of flesh, shining under the bright sunlight.

Boy, what an irony. They were eating ponies alive, swallowing their blood, and we're getting their blood stained on ourselves and our weapons.

"What's our next plan?" Spike asked.

"I dunno... I couldn't see any sign of another evil spirit.."

"Nope. There she is." Frankie said, pointing his mic towards a direction.

A pony...floating above the town hall building. It's a great distance, so I couldn't see very clearly. The only few characteristics I could recognize are, she is holding a two-necked bass, with spectrum-colored paint on it. She also have long, black hair with big tears on her face sewn with white threads.

"Meryl. A 60s liberty-loving psychedelic pony. She won't behave so strange unless she got hyped, like LSD. This should be a clear sign of her being, uh, 'possessed'."

"What would she do when she went, 'hyped'?"

"Spread darkness and chaos, also breaking other's mind, like luring ponies into the very, very core of her mind, thus creating serious trauma and mental injuries to slowly drain away your sanity, mashing your brain. Something like this."

"How do you know all about that?"

"I once tried it myself. And I could barely speak for the next few weeks."

"Well, that means she is dangerous right?"

"Not lower threat than the rest of us. I think it's up to you to get near her and defeat her. I will never touch this kind of shit again."

Frankie said, stabbing the microphone into another zombie's eye sockets, followed by the popping sound of eyeballs.

"I got it. Then, let's go."

===

Man, I wonder when will I get the chance to use the new technique and feature of my chainsaw. I don't have anything to burn here, the town is already full of non-spreading, separated bits of flames.

Then, the next spilt second, I finally figured out how this would be useful.

As we proceeding forward, right in front of us, a truck and a van crushed together and they were burning viciously.

*BOOM!*

Explosions. One of the most evil thing on planet Earth. I hate Explosions.

Good heavens, it even blew up the van high into midair. And now it's falling upon me.

I lifted the chainsaw, then shoved it upward. The viciously burning chains was heated up to an extremely high temperature, on slashing into the vehicle, the chains immediately and easily cut into the hard-metal made car doors, then followed by being bisected into two equal portions, untouchable, hot and burning, glowing red.

Even being separated from a distance, the hoof I used to grab the handle of the chainsaw can still sense the extensive heat coming from the chains. Oddly, it didn't caused the motor to be burnt.

"Proceed forward," Frankie said, "This place is not safe. Burning wood and beams could fall at any second."

I nodded, then we turned right, came to a cross-section that is filled with zombies in the either three sides.

"Holy fuck, that was a large quantity."

Frankie said, frowning to the wandering, disgusting zombies. "These scales of destructions surely did shown that unicorn's extreme hate to the town."

"At least a hindered of them..." I said with an unbelievable expression on my face.

This number of zombies....if I cut and kill them each by each, I can surely lose tons of calories and burn out all those fat!

As I was about to say "Holy Celestia I can surely take care all of these lame brains by myself"-

"Too hard for you to handle? I can lend a hoof if you want.."

"No thanks, I don't need your -"

"STUPID COOZE!"

Goddamn it.

The whole sentence fly towards the West, sweeping down all of the zombies on that side, knocking them down to unconscious.

"Were you afraid of me killing all the zombies, didn't left some for you?"

"...Yes. I need to lose some grossy fat and burn down several tons of calories, so I need more homicidical aerobics."

Frankie looked at the downed zombies. "There. I knocked them off for you. Jump and slash, right?"

Yes, exactly, you got it.

I didn't speak a word, simply run over to the zombies with an embarrassing smile, then jumped, leaped and slashed, spraying blood all over the ground....

====

On clearing the whole place of zombies, I sweated like hell and my limbs went so sore. Fortunately I can still move and it's recovering quick and well.

The street were full of downed and broken vehicles. Some burning, some destroyed, some crushing into other buildings making them unstable...

And just as I was about to pass by a relatively taller house-four storey high, a car parked in front of it suddenly blew up into flames and pieces of debris, destroying the main supports of the house.

It's falling down, right onto me.

"Twilight! Run!" Spike yelled in fear on my back.

Very very unfortunately, I was stand at the right middle of the house. Either if I attempt to run backward or forward, the building will fall eventually in my mid-way and I will be crushed flat for sure.

"No, Spike, we won't made it." I said with a sad, hope-losing mood.

"Are you kidding me? We're gonna die if you don't escape!"

"If I run towards either both sides, we will surely got crushed cause I cannot make it so fast. What I mean is, I will not run, but instead, stand still and face it directly."

"Don't tell me you're going to-"

"Obviously I am!"

I restarted the chainsaw, letting it running at intense speed, heating up to a unreasonable state that is capable of cutting wood very quickly and at the same time burn them away into fading ashes.

More cracks and crushing noises were heard, and the building finally lose support, falling and burning.

"Holy fucking-shit!" Frankie yelled, "You gotta get the right timing, or you're fucked!"

"I know and I will!"

Quickly, the wooden building was already up on my head. My chainsaw was shoved deeply into it, and I was SUPPORTING the whole building by myself, with the chainsaw. Holy crap, since when do I became so strong like this?

Whatever, the major task ahead now is to quickly - swiftly cut this little retard into half and make it burn.

While supporting the building from crashing me and Spike, I slowly pushed it forward, and I can hear the sharp, ear-stunning burning noises of the woods and hay. As I keep sawing, the building seemed to be dismembering under the heat of the chains and the flames itself was burning.

"Ugh, come on, come on, come on-!"

I said under extreme pressure, then, all of a sudden, I heard a loud, familiar bang from not far away, sounds like a cannon or something, followed by the shaking of the building above.

More and more bangs were heard and the shaking becomes more and more violent. I also started to feel that the weight I am supporting above me slightly decreasing with the shaking. Then I quickly figured it out: That cannon-like thing is shooting something that hitting the building and making it shatter, destroying it part by part.

A good chance for me to go through this thing quickly and unharmed.

I started to run as fast as I could, still holding the vertically-inserted chainsaw, cutting through the building all on my way.

Give up, girl, you cannot make it...

Buck off, I'm already out and the building fell behind me!

Wait, who was talking?

The greatest darkness deep in your heart. Now, come forward, children, travel to the paradise...

====

"Twilight, Twilight, TWILIGHT!"

"Uh? Spike? Why are you yelling like this?"

"Because I've already called you for a hundreds of times and you didn't response to me at all!"

"Huh? Did I?"

"YES YOU DID!"

"Whoa, Mr. Dragon, calm down. She just went unconscious. Did you hear a voice in your brain?"

"...Yes I did, and how do you know that?"

"It was Meryl talking in your mind. Is she saying something like, telling you to give up or, paradise?"

"Exactly."

"Congrats, this proves that we're close to her."

"How do you know?"

"Her mind-breaking illusions only take effect in a certain radius, and is 100% absolutely effective to anypony, except those who she already possessed before, like me."

"Hmm, I got it then. And by the way.."

"Yes?"

"When I was under the building cutting it, did you hear several bangs coming from not far away?"

"Bangs? What does that mean?"

"For bangs like firing a cannon."

"Bangs? Oh yeah, I did hear several bangs coming from the North-west side. After those noises the building you're killing shook violently."

"It did helped me a lot, and even saved my life. I wonder who did that."

"You will find out eventually. I just saw that stinky whore flew to that direction."

"You mean, Meryl?"

"Yes."

"Don't you think that is a little rude? Though she is bad enough.."

"I always insults my hostiles, but not friendlies."

"So that's why you are calling me a slut during the fight?"

Frankie tilted his head, escaping my eye-contact. "I told you I couldn't even remember that. Quick, we should go on."

Spike giggles. I was going to do the same, but this is too impolite.

"Spike, stop being a jerk. He didn't even know anything about that."

"Something tells me that he is lying."

"That's totally not important now."

====

On our way proceeding forward, I had been keep on thinking about the things that just happened.

I was killing that building, and who would ever lend a hoof to help me out?

Besides, cannons? Not many ponies in this town did own cannons, or I'll just say, no ponies in PonyVille did actually own a cannon.

Except one. The one who is very special, and she is my friend.

No, no, no, no, wait. Shouldn't i be strong enough to support a whole downed building by myself, isn't it? Actually, when I thought back, this is kind of unreasonable and ridiculous. I should had been crushed flat.

While I was concentrating on thinking, the familiar bang suddenly was heard again, and it's not far away from us.

"That bang again. That pony should be nearby." Frankie said, looking at the ground. "And he or she should be able to explain all these shit around here."

I looked at the ground below me. Full of blood, pieces of flesh, bones, organs, tissues that I didn't even noticed until I heard a squeezing sound when I stepped on something wet, moist and soft.

Oh shoot, I just stepped on a busted eyeball!

"GROSS!" I yelled out loud of disgust, also drawing a pony's attention.

Followed by the noise of firing a cannon, I finally figured out who was there helping me.

A bright Pink Earth Pony, with fluffy pink mane and tail, cutie mark of three balloons,

Pinkie Pie!

====

"Pinkie? Why're you here?" I asked Pinkie, curious about her appearance in this messy place.

"Cleaning this place for a party! How about you, Twilight? What're you doing here?"

Pinkie asked me with a big smile on her face. I noticed the burning fuse of her party cannon.

"PEEEEE-W!"

The cannon was triggered, and flying out from it, instead of party ribbons, tinsels,paper bits, they're metal sheets, pins, flechettes, barbed wires and grenade fragments, all flying towards a great horde of wandering zombies, tearing them and ripping them into pieces.

Frankie was just standing right in front of the muzzle of the cannon.

"Holy Fuc-"

He yelled, while he was barely fast enough to dodge most of the deadly sharp obstacles, and a few of the metal sheets cut through his left front leg. Blood immediately flew out from his wounds.

"Aaaah shit, this is nasty..." He groaned, looking at all those blood splashed onto his leather jacket.

"Gee, sorry about that! I didn't mean to do so.." Pinkie said, looking at the Punk Rock pony.

"Uh, that's okay. It was somehow only itching anyway."

"Don't you feel any pain at all? Those wounds looked severe.." I asked in confusion, looking at the wounds on his leg, exposing bones and muscles..

"Dunno, I had been fighting for too long time already, experiencing too much of these injuries."

Pinkie turned around and looked at the place, full of dangerous, sharp objects, blood, flesh, and the bodies of undeads at everywhere.

"Oops. Seems I've been making this place a little bit untidy."

"You did. And you better get outta this place quickly, Pinkie, somepony who's really dangerous is nearby.."

"Who? Maybe we could be friends!" Pinkie said, bouncing up and down.

"Pinkie, that's a ZOMBIE, a dangerous zombie, you can't be friends with 'em! And, did you just say, a party?"

"Yeah, a party, a birthday party, for you!" Pinkie said, with her sparkling eyes blinking at me. She always behave like this whenever talking something about party.

"Wow, really? A birthday party for me?"

"But of course, you silly! Everypony should celebrate well at their birthdays! I can't let these ponies ruin such a great wonderful party, so I'm putting them down a while~!"

"Well, seems like it's not a while." Spike whispered to me.

"Yeah, like forever." I responded. " Anyway, I think you should leave quick, Pinkie, it's dangerous to stay here and fight those zombies all by yourself."

"I know, and I was about to leave. I just had to give you something first."

"?"

Pinkie put a hoof in front of her forehead, then began to think for a while.

"Ah! Your birthday present!"

She suddenly said, then begin to shuffle through her fluffy, pink tail, taking out a white present.

"Here, Happy Birthday, Twilight! Oops -"

I grabbed the falling present with my magic.

"Why, thank you, Pinkie! That's very thoughtful of you!"

"As soon as you're glad with it! Oh, hang on, I gotta go!"

Said as Pinkie hide the Party Cannon in a split second within nowhere, then started to bounce fast to the direction of the Sweet Apple Acres.

"Why is she going there?" Frankie asked, looking at the Pink pony bouncing all the way with a curious expression on his face.

"I don't know, and we better track her down."

"Why?" Spike asked.

"Somehow I am feeling strange of Pinkie today. I don't know what it is, but I do feel something strange."

"If you do say, so, then let's go.":Frankie said, about ready to move on -

"Hang on!" I yelled.

He turned around, with an annoyed look. "Don't tell me you're going to unbox that present RIGHT now.."

"Nope." I replied. "Just gimme a second to clean my hoof." i waved my bloodstained left hoof whom just stepped on an eyeball.

"Oh well. Fine."

======

Boss Fight : Meryl

"Hold on Pinkie, where 're you going?" I yelled, looking at the bouncing pony a few miles ahead of us.

"She's strange. She should be able to hear us from here. We're not far away from each other." Frankie said.

"Like I said, she IS strange. Something must have happened."

"Um, maybe the zombies destroyed her party so she is depressed, or something numinous happened?" Spike said.

"That's not possible. Zombies couldn't and will not destroy her mood so easily like this. But, something numinous.."

"Numinous illusions, maybe?" Frankie said, still following us behind. " That's one of the effects of LSD, aka hallucination-causing drugs."

"Does that mean.."

"Yes." He nodded. "Meryl's trick. "

"Whatever it is, I think we should keep on tracking her down. I don't want Pinkie to get in danger."

"Agree."

=======

After several minutes of tracking and running, we finally arrived at the front of the Sweet Apple Acres.

"Let me guess, " Frainke asked. "She always walks like this? I mean, bouncing all the way?"

"Yes. That's Pinkie Pie, the unstoppable pony." I replied.

"Oh Celestia. That's one of the most supernatural things I've ever seen in my long eternal life."

"Yeah, it does...wait, ETERNAL?"

"Yes, eternal, you're not hearing it wrong. It's just some curse that put on me, cuasing me to stay at 25 forever. My body never ages or rot. I 've been living for almost two hundred years like this."

"That's sad but amazing."

"It seemed to be, but very soon, about ten years you will find it boring. Sometimes I just wanted to kill myself. Shooting through the brain, decapitation, hard projectile knocking in the spine... well, they didn't work at all. My life only became colorful right after I met Princess Celestia a few ten years ago."

"I see. That's good for you, right?"

"Sure it does. And this will be a really long story to tell, so let's just keep on going. I don't want to see your friend in danger either."

"Speaking of Pinkie, where is her?" Spike suddenly said, looking around the place.

The place was a complete silence without any other signs of ponies, just us three, and the acres beside us.

A cranking noice was heard.

"Did you guys hear that?"

"What? I didn't hear anything at all."

"Me neither." Frankie said, "What are you talking ab- OH SHIT!"

He suddenly yelled, with a surprising look on his face.

I turned around, only seeing that the farmhouse of the acres, or where Applejack was living, suddenly collapsed with loud bangs and crushing sounds of wood.

"Oh my Celestia -"

As I was about to run to the collapsed farmhouse, there was a sudden darkness all ahead of us. No, not ahead, but all around and surronding us.

"What's happening?!" Spike yelled.

"I don't know but don't let go, Spike, stay with me! Frankie! Frankie!"

I said to Spike, then yelled the stallion's name, hoping for a response.

Unfortunately, he didn't response to me. It seems like that we're separated by the darkness.

Then I suddenly realised. It must be her who capturing us.

Meryl.

======

"World of darkness, hopeless, losing faith, death, suicide, despair..."

Who's talking?

"Where are we?" Spike asked, looking around us.

Flashing colors all at the background of this strange world. The scheme is dark, and making people feel uncomfortable.

"All these colorful backgrounds, it's just like, taken drugs and caused illusions."

"Do tell, we're fighting a Psychedelic zombie. Or pony, whatever." I said, holding my chainsaw tight.

In this world of complete silence, only our breathing and the sound of my chainsaw running was heard. It's echoing in the world, making me feel..so lonely.

"Ugh!" I shook my head. "She is trying to distract us off. I couldn't let her do so."

I looked around where I was standing. It looks like some kind of stage, forming a circle, built with metal fences and wooden planks. It looks creepy.

All of a sudden, without making a sound, the pony slowly floated up from the big pit in the center.

Now I can take a more clear look of her.

She had long, black hair, almost reaching her waist and the hip, wearing a white shirt inside her OD green blouse, wearing a necklace with a Peace logo on it, long blue trousers with the words 'CeLeStia' sewn at the right leg. She has mismatched eyes, probably heterochromia, and seemed like shaking of impatience.

"Who the hell are you?" I shouted, in an urge to find Pinkie back.

"Ahahaha.. oh my dear Twilight...and little Spike. Let's travel to the Land Beyond the Doors of Perception.... Step outside the boundaries of your mind, lose yourself in the eternal, collective unconscious...and rot."

She said, plucking the chords of her prism-colored bass guitar. Strangely, I heard the sound of a sitar instead.

"What are you talking about?" Spike yelled, looking at the strange-behaving pony.

"Seriously, lady, you should try some deodorant, because honestly, you smell like shit!"

I said, pointing my running chainsaw to the pony floating in mid air.

"Ah, this one, was just an insolent..." She slowly spoke, turned to a slowly arising pony from the pit, stopped beside her.

"Pinkie!" I yelled, looking at the pony whom seemed to be in deep coma.

"Now, open your heart...and let my music guide you."

"Into the world of everlasting peace....and rot. And HELL!"

{Meryl Psychedelic Zombie}

Influences: Psychasthenia, Screaming Mantis, spectrum, Korobeiniki.

====

"Flow on, child, into the rush of chaos and dark..."

Meryl said, floating above the giant pit. Pinkie, who was just beside her, disappeared.

"I can't reach her from here!" I yelled, thinking a way to confront her.

All of a sudden, while we were just standing on that weird stage of wooden planks, appear in front of us, is a long, long corridor, arranged with dim lights that separated from each other through a distance. The lights were hanging still from the ceiling.

The floor we're stepping on were combinations of discrete white tiles. At the sides of the corridors, there were broken windows and locked doors, and some beds separating along the corridor.

This seems like to be the corridor of a hospital or something.

"A hospital..?" I quietly spoke.

"Is it those damn illusions?" Spike murmured.

Probably is. I guess we could only track down the corridor now, since I didn't see any sight of the pony.

After walking for a several minutes, I still can't reach the end of the corridor. It looks like it wasn't far away from us, but we just couldn't get to it. It seems like either it's getting further and further from us, or the corridor is just keep on expanding.

Illusions, illusions. we just couldn't get lured to these dangerous traps. But what can we do? I couldn't even saw her.

I lied against a wall, with my chainsaw touching it. It's still running and the vicious chains are going fast.

Just as the split instant of the contact of the wall and the chains-

"Ahahahahahaha! You got me, clever girl!

Then at instant, the corridor disappeared. We returned to the stage of darkness.

"Yeah, give me more, baby." Meryl slowly spoke.

"What was that?" Spike said, looking surprised.

"I think I just accidently cut her with my chainsaw. Though I just touched it to the wall, it did seemed to injure her."

"But we need to think of a way to finish her off more faster, Twilight! We don't have anytime to be tricked in her damn hallucinations!"

Yep. Unfortunately, as Spike finish speaking that, the environment around us changed again.

It was a cloudless night, the moonlight was shining onto the grasslands full of trees. Tall, dark trees, spreading all over the land.

Though there's some moonlight barely lighting the place up, I can still barely see. It's too dark.

"Spike, are you still on my back?"

"Yes, right here, and all these darkness are getting me blinded. What should we do now?"

"Twilight!"

"Huh? Who's calling my name?" I shouted, looking around in the dark woods.

"Twilight! Can you hear me?"

"This voice sounded familiar.." Spike muttered.

"If you can hear me, simply shout!"

"Who is that? Stop fooling us around!"

"It's me, Frankie, Twilight!"

"What? Where were you? Why can't I see you?" I yelled to the darkness.

"You're probably in the very core of Meryl's mind! All those you can see is her former memories!"

"Why is your voice so muted?"

"It wasn't matter as soon as you can hear me. Now, listen carefully, you have to break out of those mind-draining illusions and injure her as much as possible!"

"How can I do that?"

"She will eventually show herself up in her world. Only use your chainsaw if she is really close in range, otherwise, get a long-ranged weapon!"

"A ranged weapon? But all I've got here is only my chainsaw!"

"Hold on, what about, the present that Pinkie just gifted you?"

"Yeah, you may get some weapons like a cannon or something!"

"Alright, I 'll try it, hold on!"

I shouted, taking out Pinkie Pie's present from my back, removing the ribbon tying around it and uncovering it, showing another upgrade to my chainsaw. It simply transforms my chainsaw to an eight-round launcher firing 40mm pink shells, which is more likely to be slug rounds instead of explosives.

"Chainsaw Blaster!"

I carefully looked at the barrel. The words Effective range: 500m were carved on it.

"Alright, this should do the job!" I said, while holding the blaster and looked around.

"How do you swap between the chainsaw blade an the blaster form then?" Sike asked, looking at my fancy new gadget.

"It's simple. I'll just use my spells to take care of it." I said, while the purple magic aura started to appear on my horn, as I launched a simple spell to change back to the sawblade.

VNNNN!

"Done! All we have to do is wait for her to reveal herself!"

BANG!

A loud gunshot was heard, followed by a mare's voice shouted:

"There she is! Don't let her run!"

Then, all of a sudden, something swiped through my cheek, very quickly, and painful. It just feels like a bullet barely about to hit me.

"Spike, can you see anything on my face? Like a wound or blood something?"

"I didn't see a thing on it. What 's wrong?"

"I just felt like I'm being shot by a gun or something! Shouldn't there be any wounds?"

Then I realized, the very familiar gunfire sound.

I've heard it before, with a very old friend about several years ago, but very strangely I couldn't remember a thing about her. The only thing I can remember is, she is a Pegacorn. Same as the races of the princesses, but she's not one.

BANG! BANG!

Crap, no time for all these less important thinking. Either I should run, or directly face it.

"Spike, your choice."

"Huh?"

"Run, or fight it."

"RUN."

"I knew you would say that! No way, we're gonna face it."

"But it's dangerous! We don't know what they're holding!"

"We already knew it, guns! But what do you think they can do to us?"

Just as I finished saying, a long-bladed bowie kinfe flew over me, then with a loud crack, deeply lodged into a trunk in front of us.

GULP.

"Spike, I agree with you. Let's run."

"Like I already said!"

Handling my chainsaw with magic, I started to run in four hooves.

I don't know where should I go, but I know if I just stayed where I was, I will be severely harmed for no sure.

I kept on running and running, until I got tripped over by a root emerging from nowhere. I fell and landed on my face, as well as Spike, and my chainsaw.

"Ouch..that hurts."

I was sitting up from the ground, when suddenly, a black shade raised from the grassland, with a pair of red glowing eyes, staring at me angrily.

Its arms started to form, revealing that it was holding a long, sharp machete, pointing it at me, then lifted it high over shoulder(if it exist), slashing it towards me.

*CLANG!*

I blocked this vicious swing with my chainsaw, even the sparkles created between the blade and the chains couldn't light its face.

We went stalemate between each other. He is strong and brutal, while I used the front hooves to push the knife back, and I cannot do it for a long time. My hooves are getting sore.

If I can't hold for a long time, let's end it right NOW.

I quickly changed my position from sitting to crouching, then slowly and slowly push the goddamn knife back, and when it comes to a right timing, I jumped and knock the shadow out, breaking free from the stalemate.

And just as the right timing, the world break into billions of pieces again. We returned to the core of her mind.

I looked at the floating her at the other side of the stage. She seemed to be greatly weakened, lowering her head and keep on groaning words.

"Hear the thunder and rage of the people, piss on the graves of the fallen warriors, and pray your soul rot away..."

"We got her now!" I said, running towards the pony, then a quick leap, shoving the chainsaw into her chest, pushing in deeper and deeper, until the whole blade simmered into her flesh once, then pulled it out, shaking the blood off.

She quickly recovered from this relatively minor injury then, floating into midair once again, followed by a series of evil laughter,

"Peace is nigh, kid, hold your enthusiasm and unleash them in the eternal freedom and liberty..."

The board floor we're standing on started to shake. It was shaking so heavily, just like something is emerging from it..

My sense told me, it's something lethal coming up.

A backflip at the right timing, a tall, sharp metal pillar shoots up from the dark bottomless space under the planks, almost directly hit me.

I don't even have time to take a breath. Just right below the place I was standing , another pillar shoots up in a split second, and was dodged by me with a slight jump.

This process repeated eight times, until the last pillar shoots up from the floor, they all suddednly sunk back into the deep darkness underneath.

But the danger hasn't ended yet. A beam of light sparkled and flew towards me, which I roughly dodged it and it hits the ground and created an amber colored explosion.

"Look, what are..those things?" Spike said, pointing the suddenly-changed background of protest signs and blood : 'Terminate', 'Kill', 'Freedom' and red crosses.

"Hold tight!" I shouted, running quickly to avoid another explosion. They looked much like grenades, who shooting towards me with a red to orange colored trace.

"That's Excatly what I tasted when Chrysalis trapped me down at the caves of Canterlot!"

"It was bad, isn't it?"

"Hellyes!"

I yelled, not to let my voice being covered by the heavy explosions, and finally arrived in front of her, lifting my weapon high,

"Eat-it!"

-Cutting deep into her collar bone!

Yes, just one more bisection and I shall be able to finish her!

"Finale, the deep core, darkest bottom of your heart, taste the pure, fresh bloody horror..."

And then, in a black flash, the world turned completely dark, forcing me to close my eyes.

When I opened my eyes again, I found my running chainsaw stopped, and there was a torch, turned on, lying in front of me.

"Spike? Spike? Can you hear me?"

I looked at my back, finding that the baby dragon got his eyes shut, lying quietly an didn't respond to me.

I guess he went fainted, after experiencing all these mind blurring traumas. Well, I'll let him take a rest, and I will solve all this crap out. Myself.

Whenever I tried to start the motor, the chainsaw won't start. It never needs external source of fuel, but I just couldn't start it.

I guess my only weapon is the torch now.

I picked up the torch with my magic, shining through the place.

This seemed to be inside the Canterlot castle, but strangely, all the lights have gone out and the only visible light sources are the bright moon outside of the windows, and my torchlight.

I started to walk around, searching through the castle. It looks like magnified multiple times in area, and was left vacant. Where were all those guards? No wait, I was in Meryl's mind, of course they will not exist here.

Then, where should I go now..? The castle is big as hell, and with the darkness making it creepy. I feeled like something was going to pop out at any seconds.

I keep on thinking that and walking along the hallway to the atrium, when suddenly the doorknob of an oak door aside me turned by itself, making creaky noises.

This gave a great shock to my heart. I stood back and watch, holding my breath.

Slowly, but swiftly and quietly, some black hair started to creep out from the gaps between the door and the floor. The hair becomes longer and longer, and with a heart-attacking causing bang the door got crushed into pieces.

Standing behind it all the time, was a mare. A mare with sickly white coat, very very long black hair, and a bloodstained white dress. She turned to me from her ground-looking position, showing her pale face, with bloodshot eyes and snapping sounds, slowly walking towards me with her two hind legs.

Her neck-snapping sound becomes more frequent, and louder. Loud enough to deeply damage me in the mind, combine with her creepy outlook...!

I wanted to run, escape from this horrifying sense, but I soon find out that I can barely move, not sure if too scared or just under the mind of Meryl.

So, all I can do for now is just remain stationary and let her grab me in the front hooves, pushing her head forward, looking at me with her bloody eyes. It's really a horrible experience, and I thought this is almost the end here.

But no, I won't let myself die so quickly.

I started to struggle from her grab, shaking my hooves heavily, trying to make her let go.

This do work, and after a quick flash, when I opened my eyes again, she disappeared. Just like there wasn't anypony standing there.

"Illusions, illusion, just illusions, c'mon get over it, Twilight.."

I said with a shaking voice. I 've never experienced anything like this before, even at my zombie hunter life. Anyway, after the jumpscare I started to track down the long walkway again, still holding my torch tight.

I walked for almost half an hour, checking and looking at every door I walked past. I can't handle another of these scares right now. This is even more horrifying than killing zombies.

My torchlight flashed.

Don't tell me the battery is draining.

DON'T TELL ME.

It flashed more frequently and quickly.

*CRACK!*

The lightbulb blew up, cracked into pieces, and its glowing tungsten dropped out from the torch.

'Kay, I am officially doomed right now. but what else can I do? I already said that I am not going to stand still and die here. So, I keep on pushing forward in the dark. Even the moon outside couldn't shine the floors.

Clop, clop, clop, clop....

Footsteps. Somepony is following me. And I am starting to hear shrieks and screams as well.

My hind leg suddenly came in contact with hair.

This is a signal telling me to run, as fast as I could.

I landed with four hooves, and starting to run. Run, run, run, run, along the endless hallway.

The screams, the breathing and the crying sound behind me is getting closer and louder.

I can see light in front of us. I am surely totally gonna make it.

If I don't, there will be nopony to save the tortured world-!

====

Huff, huff.. yes! I escaped from that darkness, and the pony who is causing all of these is right in front of me!

I tried to start my chainsaw again, and successfully the chains started to run.

I lifted it high,

"You're gonna PAY for THIS!"

VVVNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN.

Stage 3 -Cloudsdale

"Twilight..wake up..Wake up!"

Somepony was calling me in the dark. I really wanted to get up and response, but I feel like my eyelids are so heavy, and my head is so painful like it's gonna blow up.

"Wake up man, wake up, Twilight, I said, wake up!"

Oh Celestia, stop shouting at me, I will bounce up if I can, and I mean it!

"Twilight! Wake up-!" Followed by a loud thunder. Then, I feel like I was grabbed and pulled away from where I was lying, and the pony who was holding me is running at his top speed.

At the same time, I seemed to regain control to my body, by feeling the quick wind battering my cheek, and very slowly, I opened my eyes, only to found myself on Frankie's shoulder, with Spike following him aside, and they both are running from the series of blue lightnings stroke down to the ground.

"Wh...what is-"

"OhHolyGodThankCelestiaYouWokeUp!" He said in a row, and breathing quickly while dodging the relentless strikes and assault of high voltage electricity.

"What is going on?" I rephrased, and looked at Spike.

"We don't have time and air to speak -right fucking now!" He replied, and I can see that he is carrying my pink chainsaw on his hands, "And I thought you won't mind to hold it by yourself again, right?"

"I guess, maybe later.." I looked at our back. The strong lightnings are about to pierce through my eyeballs and cut my nerves.

"GodfuckingDamnItSheJustWon'tStopIt!" Frankie shouted again, while looking around us, "WhereTheHellIsMeryl---?"

I lifted my head and tried to find the source of lightning. It's coming from a black Viking Ship, and I can barely hear some heavy drum-knocking noises and bass guitar playing sound.

A ship? Then It would be way too easy.

I jumped off from Frankie's shoulder, and grabbed my chainsaw in an instant. Then, I went on gather magic on my horn, to transform the chainsaw into the blaster. Hope I still got enough ammunition for this little friend.

I hold the blaster with my front hooves, and roughly targeted the ship, pulling the trigger in instant.

"WhatAreYouTryingToDoNow,ChainsawGirl?"

"Knock that fricking ship back, you punk!"

"You will not stand a chance against that thing and its lightnings! Just run!"

I don't think so, gentlecolts.

I was running backwards, facing the ship and its dangerous projectiles, attempting to fire slug rounds do damage it, though I knew this would be way too less effective against such a big thing, and while its on top of us several hundred miles ahead of us.

I was wrong. It is effective, and the ship is seemed to be retreating, or more clearly, accelerating and went ahead of us, disappeared by diving into a much bigger cloud.

The lightning stopped, as well as the two dudes who thought it's impossible for a 40mm revolving grenade launcher to deal with a ship.

"Oh thank Celestia...huff..it was gone finally..."

"Boy, I guess you've never tasted being fried by a thunder of 500,000V before.I did, and I don't want to try it again." Frankie said in a calm attitude. That's odd, I thought he was just breathing like hell.

"Who is she all the way you're talking about?"

"Aletheia."

This name sounded so familiar. Then I quickly remembered it, the princess said at the beginning that she is one of the only ponies who knew where the book about zombie-arising rituals was kept. I can't believe that's she riding the ship.

"She is riding that ship and attacking us?"

"You bet, right before you woke up on my back, she suddenly appeared on top of us, as well as her fucking lightning bolts."

I can surely bet that she is controlled by one of those evil spirits. That also means, she have to be killed in order to restore order and law.

I took out a lollipop and put it into my mouth, in between my lips.

Frankie looked at me.

"I knew what you're thinking. You have to track her down and kill her, right?"

|"Exactly, and would you.."

"Oh no you don't, lady, I gotta head back to Canterlot. Don't ask why, royal orders. I think there should and will be somepony else which could help you on your way." He quickly spoke, then made a loud whistle.

"♪ Meryl! Over here!"

I then heard loud wing flapping sound closing by, followed by the dusty landing of the pegacorn onto the sand ground.

"Let me introduce, this is Meryl. You two have probably confronted each other before."

"Yes. Messily."

"And miserable." She said, looking at me with an apologetic expression. "I apologizes for what I had just done."

"I knew it, you didn't mean to do that, right? You were just under control."

"I couldn't even remember a thing. I just recognized that I saw you fighting me in a total darkness. And then I woke up from a really loud thunder strike."

"That's Aletheia, and this tough awesome girl is going to defeat her and turn her back. Unfortunately she is ruining Cloudsdales and she couldn't got up there." Frankie said, pointing at me.

"I am certainly glad to help."

"Why, thank you so much. I was just considering whether I am going to seek help from my friend.."

"You don't have time for that, Twilight. You ponies best get upon there quick before the others ruin the country. Of course, I will try my best to help out, if I can. I gotta go, good luck."

He said, grabbed his microphone from the ground and stretched his wings, flew up into the high sky.

Meryl turned and looked at me, while I did the vice versa. I now can get a clear and closer look of her appearance:

She is wearing an olive-green military blouse, with a white T-shirt under it, as well as long, blue trousers and a necklace with a Peace logo badge on it. She also have multiple bracelets on her both front legs, and ear piercings, as well as a spectrum-colored bass guitar and a M60 hanging behind her back.

"Can I simply call you Twilight?"

"Why yes, everypony called my name like this." I said, looking at Spike. "Spike, you alright? Can you go on with us?"

"I am okay with it."

"Great. So, can we move now, Meryl? Time is getting short for us."

"That's just what I wanted to say. You can hop on my back, but wait.."

Meryl paused, taking the machine gun down from her back, as well as her bass, then performed a spell by quickly gather magic on her horn, hiding the guitar in a bright, quick green flash.

She cocked the gun, and held it tight with front hooves.

"Done. You ready?"

"Always ready." I said.

==================

It should feel nice when you're travelling through layers of clouds under the bright, comfortable sunlight. It just makes you feel extremely relaxed, but not for me, neither Spike nor Meryl too, as seen from their faces and expressions: With Spike in a heavily sweating condition and staring at Meryl at almost all the time, seemed to be afraid of falling from such a great height.

Meryl, on the other side, holding her weapon and looked around in a serious-looking expression, often turned around and tracked the current conditions of the area and clouds surrounding us. I then noticed that the rear sight of her M60 was flipped up.

For me, other than concerning about the enemies we're going to encounter soon, I was much more worried about, if Meryl is going to make a complaint about the weight she was carrying. If she did, then it must be related to my weight! I was so fat and gross because of all the lollipops I just ate in these recent months. I wanted to cut them down, but they're just too delicious! Especially those Strawberry flavored ones!

While I was about to gone crazy about my weight and the flashback of consequence of eating tons load of lollipops, Meryl suddenly shouted:

"We're here! You better get a spell performed so you two can walk on clouds."

Oh! Almost freaking forgot about it. If we didn't did so we're gonna fall to our deaths for sure.

"Got it." I quickly performed a spell that enabled us to stand on clouds properly, shortly after I took Spike off from my scratch-mark-filled back. "It's safe now, Spike, just get over it."

"Really? Is it safe? Can I walk on those clouds now? I don't wanna fucking die -"

"I said, shut up and follow us on my back, you baby dragon!"

I grumbled, when suddenly a familiar voice shouted from a distance not far away -

"Let her go you criminal scum zombies!"

Then, a light blue shadow quickly swiped in front of me, flying towards the direction of Meryl -

It was Rainbow Dash!

And, oh my, Meryl was too concentrated on scouting the area, and she is facing the opposite of Dash, while she was ready to give her a big kick -

*SMACK!*

Meryl suddenly turned around and blocked this fast attack with her gun. A loud sound was clearly heard as Rainbow kicked the gun instead of who she was going to attack.

"Who the hell are you trying to kidnap Twilight?"

"Hey! State it clear, kid, I am not kidnapping her! I am just helping her on her way!"

"Helping on her way for what?"

They went into a really annoying, and vicious argument lasted for at least ten minutes, until I can't stand it anymore and went to stop them -

"Hold it you two-Stop the nonsense argue!" I said, loud enough to cut their conversation.

"Let me make this clear first, why were you here, Rainbow?"

"I just came here to check if Cloudsdale is safe from those Zombie swarms, and it wasn't! It was flooded with Pegasus zombies, so I just went cleaning them, when I saw this strange-looking guy with you! I though she was a zombie, so I just went attempt to kick her hard in the face."

"I said, I didn't and will not try to kidnap Twilight, I was just helping her!"

"Yes, Rainbow, she is not a zombie, she is just helping me to find a pony."

"Oh, now I see...Sorry about that."

"Hmph, never mind.." She said, looking around the city. City of the Sky and Clouds, controlling and maintaining weather of all over Equestria.

"This city is full of discrete and separated clouds, and I think it wouldn't be possible for me to carry you all the way around, right, Twilight? We need to think of some ways else to freely travel around the place and to find her."

"Oh, I almost forgot! Today is your birthday, Twilight! I got a present for you!"

"Really? That's too kind for you!"

"Stop being silly, Twilight! Everypony should have presents on their birthday! Happy Birthday for you, Twilight!" Rainbow said, as she took out a present from her back.

I held the present over with magic. "Can I open it now?"

"Of course. And I think you'll need it right now." Rainbow said.

I smiled, then immediately opened the present. Removing the lid.

It was another upgrade to my chainsaw, by adding exhaust pipes, fuel gauge and a powerful engine to it, making it acting like an compact automobile -

Chainsaw Dash!

"Oh my, this is holy awesome!"

"But, wait, how is this suppose to dig into the clouds? It will burn and vaporize them on contact!"

"This one is capable to dig into clouds without damaging them at all. Cost me 40 more bits to add that feature in, but, no big deal, for a present to my dearest friend."

"So, we can move on freely now. Just make sure don't fall between those gaps of the clouds, Twilight, we can't help you much."

"You have my word. I never fail any challenges." I said gracefully, grabbing my chainsaw and started the engine. "Alright, let's go."

=====================

Our way was basically success by so far, not much pegasus zombies were seen on our way, until we arrived at the Weather Factory - in which other ways were blocked by fallen buildings and black, dangerous clouds, I guess we have to pass through here.

The factory was a total mess. Machines downed and broken into parts, zombie pegasus' corpses everywhere, even in the spectrum pools, staining them red. These massacres were seen in almost all portions and sections of the Weather Factory, including a pink pegasus' body being stabbed with several non-melting snowflakes and lodged onto a wall, with words written in blood aside 'YOU DON'T STAND A CHANCE BITHCES' at the snowflake making section

I looked at those snowflakes. They never melts, even under the body temperature of these fresh dead bodies, and was as sharp as razor blades, deeply lodged into the body, even go through bones.

"Rainbow, are these..the bi-products of this factory? They don't looked like normal snowflakes that should fall in winter." I asked, pointing at the dead body on the wall.

"You mean the snowflakes? Oh yes, this factory was somehow producing weapons at the same time we're making various weather conditions, like the shuriken flakes you just saw, high-voltage thunder clouds, lava-like rainbow beams...anything related to weather. And it's hard to believe that this place will exe downed so quickly.."

"Not only the thunder clouds of this factory, there's some thunderbolts emitting from the Cloudsdale stadium. Look." Meryl said, pointed at the stadium far away. It was lit under the light cyan thunderbolts happening on top of it.

"Who is doing that to our great Stadium?! That's completely rude and insane!"

"That's who we're going to find and deal with. She is extremely dangerous, but must be a good game to hunt with." I said, didn't notice that a tall, giant marble pillar was falling upon me,

"Watch out!" Rainbow and Meryl screamed at the same time, until I heard their scream and looked upward, the pillar was about to crush me flat.

I smiled, started the chainsaw, kneeled onto the ground for support from my hind legs, then lifted the chainsaw high, supported and as well cutting into the pillar. Without a minute the pillar soon got divided into two halves, and landed heavily onto the grounds.

"Piece of cake." I smiled, ready to get up from my kneeling position, just to hear some growling at my back.

"Six 'o clock, a Pegasus!" Meryl yelled, ready to lift her weapon and open fire.

I remained opposite to the approaching zombie, then as it was about to grab me and bite my neck, I handled the chainsaw and speared behind through my right shoulder, directly stabbing into that asshole's head. I didn't pulled out my chainsaw until the chains have made its face messy enough.

Poor Spike, he just got showered by a fall of blood and fleshes. On my back.

"More and more of them are coming from behind us, we better keep going." Rainbow said, picked up a 2x4 from the ground. "Or as well, knocking some zombie heads off first."

"Look, Rainbow, we really need to go quickly. We don't have much time to waste.."

"Why? I am sure you can take out that freaking dude quickly. Let's use some precious time on zombie whacking." Rainbow said in excitement, hit a zombie in the neck with the wooden plank.

"Please, Rainbow, we really need to go, and I mean it!"

"Well, if you say so, sure, let's go anyway." She said in disappointment, dropping the plank aside.

A little break - Unboxing presents 1

"Oh, almost forgot." Princess Celestia suddenly returned, with an embarrassing grin on her face.

"Is there something else happened?" I asked.

"No, not at all, Twilight, it's that I 've forgotten to give you your birthday present."

"...Oh! I've forgotten it too! I was too busy on zombie-slaying.."

"Well, here's your present." Princess said, taking out a white box wrapped with a red ribbon.

"Happy Birthday, Twilight. I have good faith on you. Now, would you excuse me, I have to return to Canterlot to handle the whole business."

Said the princess as she disappeared in another magic sparkle.

I looked at my present, then looked around the place, wanting to tell the pony wait for a few minutes, when I suddenly found him missing.

I'll look for him later. Gotta unbox this wonderful present that Celestia gave me.

I used magic to remove the ribbon on the present, uncovered it, then a beam of golden magic, surrounding my chainsaw. It was actually a series of enhancements to my chainsaw, making it more tougher and powerful, plus an incinerating effect as seen by the heavily burning chains when I started it, enabling me to do more damages to the zombies each attack.

"Vulcan Bisector!"

Whatta great present. I can't wait to use it to kill all those undeads in Equestria and thank the princess by myself.

"Okay, I am ready to go!"
