The Plague

     Twilight woke up in the field like she had fell asleep. She yawned and stretched out her wings, then she cracked her jaw while she slowly started to wake more. The soft grass swaying against her coat was relaxing. Twilight's mind started to wonder off as she thought about how she got in the field, she remembered falling asleep in her bed. Her memory started coming back to her bit by bit, then soon enough she opened her eyes wide as she realized what happened yesterday.

     She gasped, then felt a tear on her cheek. She quickly wiped it away.

"Mayor Mare..." Twilight whispered. "I-I'm so sorry...I didn't mean to..." She felt a sudden vibrate in her wing that made her jump. She calmed down as she realized it was only Spike shaking from a nightmare. She rubbed his head spikes like they were hair as she picked him up with her telekinesis and put him on her back.

      Twilight then glanced over at her friends, who were now either awake and cold or asleep and afraid. She glanced over at Ponyville. She sighed. Spike immediately awoke.

     "W-What the? Where are we? Twilight, why are you sta-" "I'm keeping watch for my friends so they don't become infected - that monster had killed everypony in Ponyville, it's probably attacking Canterlot right now, and there's a chance that it already killed the other Elements of Harmony besides Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie. It's all my fault, Spike..." Twilight cried. Spike pat her back and hugged her.

     Pinkie Pie awoke, making Rainbow Dash - who was on top of a cloud near the Cake family - wake as well, which made the foals awake and cry who woke up the Cake couple. Twilight giggled. A chain of awaking, that's cute. She thought. Twilight shook her head and walked over near her friends.

      "Girls, we need to go and see if there are any survivors left in Ponyville before we go save Canterlot." Twilight said. She stomped her hoof down in anger. "I WON'T let that monster kill anymore ponies. Come on, girls, we have some ponies and towns to save!" A smile spread across Rainbow's face.

      "Yeah, let's go kick some plots!" Rainbow Dash grunted, but Pinkie Pie was giggling.

"Silly Twilight, Mr. Cake isn't a mare! Mr. Cake is a stallion! HUGE difference!" She giggled. Twilight rolled her eyes and motioned for the ponies to follow her.

         The group of ponies all checked the houses for more survivors. They would each say "Nope.", "No.", or "No survivors here." if they found nopony.

        "It's useless... We should just leave. Nopony could have survived through this." Rainbow Dash said, looking through a house. Twilight and the others agreed sadly and started to walk out of Ponyville. Twilight was the last to get out. She stopped as she heard a faint, covered, cry. She turned around as she saw a yellow pony's leg and some pink hair sticking out of an apple cart. Twilight galloped towards it.

      "Fluttershy?! What are you doing here? You were here the whole time?" Twilight asked, helping Fluttershy out of the cart.

         "The mayor told me that I shouldn't worry about the black figure walking through the st-streets, and I believed her. So when I saw him, or her, I went up to it and hugged it and welcomed it to Ponyville...b-but it....i-it..." Fluttershy stuttered, on the verge of tears,  "...it pushed me away and grew these wings like my pet bat's... it grabbed the Mayor by her neck and it bit her. Then Mayor turned all gray as the monster grew tentacles out of it's back as it sucked the colors out of her...then it injected some kind of liquid into her, making her eyes drool that liquid. Then her head slowly fell down and it turned to me... it threw the mayor in her window and picked me up, then it threw me against a wall. I galloped away and hid in this cart so it wouldn't find me and kill me..."

      Twilight gasped as Fluttershy was crying. She pat her back as she rubbed her mane and shushed her softly every time Fluttershy would say something sorrowful. The others were standing, watching, as Twilight and Fluttershy slowly walked towards the group. Fluttershy lifted her head up.

     "Let's go kick some plot...nopony... hurts... MY.....FRIENDS!" Fluttershy yelled. Rainbow Dash and Pinkie smiled angrily as the nodded their heads. Then they all ran towards Canterlot to go do what they planned.
