Dead Space: The Equestrian Outbreak

"Warning! All systems failure imminent! Evacuation is highly advised!" The A.I. said. Isaac, who was at the wheel, had been trying to keep the gunship under control as they were hurdling towards an uncharted planet. The gravity field was too strong for the gunship that it went crashing down through the atmosphere in pieces.

"Everybody, we have two options. We either jump and suffer broken bones, or we stay on board to try and repair it and risk the chance of blowing up." Isaac explained as he put on his helmet. Richard also put on his helmet, helping Ellie with hers as well. They all pressure sealed their suits, not knowing of the atmosphere, and to keep out any gases that might risk their health.

"I assume we're jumping." Isaac said, opening the hatch. Richard grunted as he swan dived out first, then Ellie, and lastly Isaac. Isaac carried Ellie while Richard was about 200 feet below him, stabilizing himself with his jet boots. Once Isaac deployed his jet boots, they descended slowly towards the surface. They looked back to see that the gunship veered out into the forest, near the mountain range, and a big explosion could be heard. There was a smoke stack coming from the crash site, and the smell of burning metal was in the air.

"Is everybody alright? No one's hurt are they?" Ellie asked, Richard shook his head.

"I'm fine, but we need to know where the hell we are." Isaac said, taking out his Plasma Cutter and reloading it.

"We seem to be on an uncharted planet just outside the Aegis System. There's a chance those things are here too. I'm getting weird vibes about this place." Richard said, looking at a map displayed on his RIG.

"Well, you're not the only one." They all agreed and stomped nearby crates for anything useful. Isaac had his signature Plasma Cutter, Line Gun, as well as his Pulse Rifle. Ellie had her Plasma Cutter and a Pulse Rifle, while Richard had his Plasma Cutter, Flamethrower, and Seeker Rifle.

"There seems to be an artificial structure not far from here. We should check it out for any survivors." Ellie said, using her locator. Richard scouted ahead, not wanting to take any risks, and Isaac covered their six. They went at a rather fast pace, not wanting to stay any longer due to the eerie feeling they were getting.

Richard stopped moving as he grabbed for his head, he could see the Marker just messing with his head as everything turned into a horror scene. Everything turned orange and black, and he could see his dead family, just taunting him. The symbols flowed through his head as apparitions of his dead brother and sister appeared

"You think you can just run away from me? Well, you thought wrong. Where exactly are you going?" He could hear his dead brother say.

"Richard? Are you alright? Richard? RICHARD!" Isaac snapped him out of his trance. He shook his head as everything went back to normal.

"They're talking to me again." He said to him, he put a hand on his shoulder.

"Whatever you do, when they say to 'make us whole,' don't listen to them. No matter what." Richard nodded as Issac put the helmet of his torn Advanced RIG back on. Richard did the same with his Riot Security Suit, but it wasn't as damaged as Isaac's RIG.

Just then, they heard screaming coming from a woman, it was too foggy outside to see, but they could clearly make out a slasher. The slasher growled as it was cut to pieces, and eventually went limp after Isaac cut both an arm and a leg off of the reanimated corpse.

"They're here. Stay close to me." Isaac said, firing off his Plasma Cutter, dismembering the slasher in front of him. It let out a gargle before it died, he stomped the corpse and it revealed a Small Med Pack. He picked it up and put it in his inventory, but didn't use it.

"Hello? Is somepony there?" The woman's voice said again.

"Somepony? What is she talking about?" Richard asked, Ellie shrugged as they neared the source of the terrified voice.

"We're over here! Can you walk?" Isaac announced.

"No, I twisted my leg when I was being chased. Can you talk over RIGLink?" She replied. Just then, a screen appeared in front of Isaac, revealing a lavender colored pony. Isaac took off his helmet and introduced himself.

"What are you exactly? Who are you?" Isaac asked, she giggled.

"Well, I'm a Unicorn, everypony should know that. As for my name, I'm Twilight Sparkle, part of a group of survivors in a nearby safehouse." She said.

"Can we go to this safehouse? We're in need of some supplies, and I don't think you can walk with that leg." Isaac said, she nodded.

"I'm giving you my coordinates now. Come pick me up and I can lead you to the safehouse." She said, ending the RIGLink. Isaac's RIG gave a holographic projection saying, 'Objective Added,' as he used the locator to find Twilight. As they turned the corner they were jumped by The Pack, in which they were easy to dispatch, but something was wrong.

"By my assumptions of that talking horse, these Necromorphs are built from equine corpses. They are not like human based Necromorphs, we may have to make a new strategy for any new species." Ellie said, dismembering a pony slasher in the process.

"Agreed, but they too have limbs that can be cut off. I recommend we find the Marker that's causing this outbreak, fast." Richard said, pointing over to Twilight. Isaac nearly dodged a plasma shot, the shot landing making its mark on a scorched building behind him.

"Whoa, whoa, hey!" He said, Twilight's eyes widened as she saw the man that was just on the RIGLink. She only got a face shot, and was unaware that Isaac was a completely new sapient species.

"Y-You're not ponies." She stuttered. Richard picked her up and carried her like an infant, with her fitting perfectly in his arms.

"No shit, and you were telling the truth when you said you were a Unicorn." Richard said.

"W-Who are you? What are you?" She asked.

"We'll talk later. It's not safe out here." Richard said.

"You said something about a safehouse? I recommend we go before more of them come." Ellie said, Twilight nodded as she used her locator, a blue line heading for Sweet Apple Acres.

"So, what are you? Do you have names?" She asked, they all nodded.

"That's Isaac, that's Ellie, and I'm Richard. We're survivors of another one of these attacks, but Isaac has been in more than one." Richard explained.

"Hurry, they're coming!" They started to run as they heard growls getting louder, and the sound of Ellie's Plasma Cutter going off. They went as fast as they could, eventually getting to a barn. They hastened as they neared the barn, they trucked open the door and quickly shut it behind them. Isaac grabbed a nearby metal girder and stuck it in between the handles.

"I haven't run that fast in my life until now." Richard said, putting Twilight on a hay bale. Isaac kneeled down and handed her the Med Pack he found earlier, she took it and used it, her RIG turning from yellow to a yellow green.

"I think I can walk now, thank you Isaac, for saving me." She said with grattitude, Isaac nodded and the helmet went back into his suit. Richard and Ellie did the same with their helmet, relaxing a little bit.

"C'mon, the safehouse is down here," she said, opening a secret hatch that led underground, "Applejack! It's me, and I have friends, don't shoot them."

The four of them headed downstairs and saw that the walls were reinforced with metal, as well as the air vents, which were barred. There was a Save Station, Bench, and a Microstore down there, as well as a group of the surviving members of what's left of Ponyville.

"Twilight! You're alive! We thought they got you!" A pink one said, hugging her. Also, a little lizard came up to hug her too.

"I missed you Twilight." The little lizard said.

"Well, I'm still alive, thanks to them." They looked at the three newcomers, as they towered over them.

"Hey." Isaac said, the group of survivors all gasped, and the white Unicorn fainted.
