CONSOLIDATION

The medium sized pony awoke to the sounds of gun fire and burning flesh, her ears hurting every time another bomb fell. The area she was in was proclaimed "Uninhabitable" by the government group known as The Elite Rulers of the Equestrian Military, thus the bombings. This group was formed as a "peaceful" counter measure to deal with the Infected and to help find a cure. But this young mare knew exactly what they were doing. They weren't searching for a cure at all, they were simply erradicating the threat. Kill them. That was their so called cure. The poor mare just sat there and awaited for death to come and save her from this hellish nightmare. She remembers the time when the government, or what was left of it, was still on the air of Equestrian News Broadcast, saying the government is doing all they can to protect their world and to save it. The only thing they didn't know, was to everypony else, the world had already ended.

The gray, blood stained mare sat there, awaiting her inevitable end to her long and dreadful life. As the bombings subsided, she gradually saw The Infected surrounding her area, scavenging for fresh flesh to consume. She saw a revolver two feet away, and saw this as an opportunity to end her life on her own, rather than a slow death of being consumed alive. And even if she did escape them after she was bit or scratched, it would only be hours before she Turned. There were only three ways a pony could become Infected; 1) By being bitten by another Infected. 2) By being scratched by another Infected. OR 3) By dying because of one of these injuries. The thought of being turned to an Infected terrified the mare, so she quickly moved to the gun, to end her life on her own terms. She put the gun in her mouth, and slowly began to pull the trigger. But before she can pull the trigger, she heres the sound of gunfire in the distance, and the sounds of Infected bodies collapsing. She heard the sund of other ponies coming. She looked out the window and saw other survivors coming towards her location. They must of seen her looking outside her window before. As they reached closer, one yelled out something.

"We have to consolidate!" the blue pegasus yelled. "We have to gather any pony and everypont\y that can fight! Any ponies that are still alive in this area please come out now! We can rovide food, shelter, and protection!" The gray colored mare walked out, hesitated, but walked out slowly.

"I can fight!" she screamed. The blue colored mare looked at her and quickly threw her a pistol.

"Lets go find others then... whats your name?" she asked

"I.....don't have one." The blue pony nodded then they agreed to continue looking, looking to consolidate all the remaing survivors into the last standing city of Equestria, Ponyville.
