"Richtofen, what the hell did you do?"  Dempsey shouted, rubbing his head.

"I do not know, but why not just run into ze teleporter when I said to guard us?"  Richtofen said, his voice rising.

Then the ponies appeared in a zap of electricity.

"Shit, one of those zombie dogs?"  Dempsey said, pointing his gun at the burst of electricity.

The ponies got back up from their prone position.  Applejack saw the gun being pointed at her and her friends and drew her MP40 and aimed it at Dempsey's head.

"It appears as if we're in Japan,"  Takeo murmured from behind Dempsey.  "It is good to be back in my homeland."

All of the ponies were now standing and waiting for someone to make a move.  Twilight noticed that one of the zombies was coming up behind the one that was pointing the gun at them.

"Look out!"  Twilight screamed.

Dempsey turned around.  "Fuck you, freak-bag!"  He shouted as he shoved a blade through the zombies heart.

"Oh why didn't you just let ze zombie eat him?"  Richtofen questioned.

Twilight slowly stepped out of the corner, and instructed the girls to do the same.  Dempsey had lowered his gun that was pointed at the ponies

"Hey, guys,"  Nikolai said, shooting the zombies with a M1A1 Carbine.  "Can we save this arguing for later?"

"I agree with that guy,"  Rainbow said.  "We need to get out of here."

They started to realize that all they were going to accomplish by arguing was a gaping bite mark, or just being eaten.  Twilight moved the debris obstructing their forward path to the zombie-infested swamp.

"Fascinating, these equines seemed to have mastered the powers of telekinesis,  how VONDERBAR!"  Richtofen shouted.

In Richtofen's surprise, he was swarmed by the incoming dead.  Everyone one else was out of the zombie infested building, and out into the swamp.

"NEIN!  I can't go to hell, I have nothing to wear!"  Richtofen shouted in disapproval.

Richtofen was being smacked down by the hoard of zombies, each one trying to go for a bite on The Doctor.  Each time one went in for a bite, he kicked them back.  Richtofen's cries for help eventually fell upon the ears of Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash.

"It sounds like that one guy needs our help,"  Rainbow said to Fluttershy, while shooting a zombie in front of her.  "Let's go!"

Fluttershy followed closely behind Rainbow as they sprinted up the stairs to see The Doctor on the floor, kicking back the undead.  Richtofen noticed the ponies.

"Comrade, help!"  Richtofen managed to shout.

Rainbow quickly shot two of the zombies surrounding Richtofen, sending little bits of their cranium onto Richtofen's body.

"Well, I suppose I should thank you,"  Richtofen said, brushing himself off.  "But, no time for that now."

Rainbow stare of disapproval quickly changed The Doctor's mind.

"Thank you, comrade."

"You're welcome."

Dempsey then ran in through the door.  "Hey, if you're all done with the hugs, kisses and nice shit, would you mind killing these fucking maggot-addicts?"

They all turned their attention to the door where the undead were swarming in.  Pinkie can up from behind the last ten zombies and sliced their heads off, meanwhile spilling blood all over the maggot-ridden floor.

"Here she comes...."  Rainbow had long before known about Pinkie's blood lust, and had tried to avoid contact with any blood around Pinkie.

"What the fuck are you talking about?"  Dempsey shouted, lifting Rainbow by the throat.

Pinkie came up from behind Dempsey and swiped at his arm that was suspending Rainbow in the air, leaving a deep gash in Dempsey's left arm.  Dempsey dropped Rainbow to the floor and Richtofen came to Rainbow's aid.  Rainbow proceeded past the wincing Dempsey and ran out the door with Richtofen.  Fluttershy sat by Dempsey, trying to mend his cut.

"What the fuck is wrong with you people?!"  Dempsey screamed.

"Don't mess with my friends and we'll get along just fine,"  Pinkie said,  "Until then, I am considering you my enemy."

Dempsey tried to get up and punch Pinkie, but fell to the ground after Pinkie kicked his leg out from under him.  The undead were approaching once again.  Pinkie protected Fluttershy as she healed Dempsey.

Rarity, Nikolai, and Applejack where in a shack labeled "Doctor's Quarters", shooting the rotten as they came through the door.  Rarity eventually found a piece of cloth and started working on some form of armor.

"Uh, Princess, now's not the time to work on some frilly dress!"  Applejack shouted from a door.

"I'm making some armor for one of these companions, maybe that will make them trust us more."

"A drunk Russian needs only a drink to be invincible."  Nikolai belched.

Applejack was running low on ammo and time, AJ eventually had to use a piece of broken glass to cut the zombies.  AJ ran back to where Rarity was sitting and took the unfinished body armor and tossed it to Nikolai.  Rarity stood back and watched with horror as Applejack cut the zombies open.

"Fuck, I'm out!  Nikolai shouted.

"You have a knife and a broken bottle, dont'cha?"  Applejack screamed as she sliced another zombies throat.

Rarity looked behind her and saw a lone zombie and stole Nikolai's knife and stabbed the zombie.  Rarity watched with horror as the zombie fell and blood squirted to the floor.  Applejack then let out a piercing scream.  Three zombies had crawled on top of AJ and were trying to swipe at her.

"Yeah, a little help would be nice!"

Applejack shoved her piece of glass into a zombies head and was now defenseless.

Rarity ran up to Applejack and handed her the blood-stained knife.  AJ quickly stabbed all three zombies.

"Thanks for the help pardner."

"I suppose we have to stick together to survive."

"Are you forgetting about the Russian that's in trouble?!"  Nikolai shouted over the screams of the dead.

Applejack quickly pushed the zombies off of Nikolai and stabbed them one by one.  Nikolai shared his thanks and agreed to find the rest of the group.

In the Communications Room, Takeo and Twilight were stuck in the marsh and the undead horde was closing in quickly.  Twilight blasted a few away whilst Takeo shot a few dead, but once Takeo had run out of ammo, Twilight had to teleport them back to the group, who had all reunited back next to a giant meteor.

"Now ze teleporter should be somewhere around here."  Richtofen noted.

"Not to rush you, but we have a fuck-ton of 'em coming through that door over there!"  Dempsey shouted.

Thousands of zombies quickly sprinted towards the group, hungry for their flesh.  Richtofen had found the teleporter, but needed to power it up by entering a complicated sequence of numbers on to the mainframe.

"Richtofen, are you almost done?"  Takeo asked.

"IT IS DONE!"  Richtofen shouted manically.

They all piled in the teleporter and disappeared in a flash.  They were heading towards a facility, where many secrets will be revealed.
