Rise of the dead chap 2

Chapter2: Ponyvilles grave yard

As Green Star set up bottle to shoot at, Pend picked out a weapon to use. Green Star had tons of weapons. He had pistols, rifles, sniper rifles, assault guns, and even a rocket launcher. Pend wanted to use the rocket launcher, but Green Star said she wouldn’t learn to shoot with that. She ended up picking a small black revolver that held six shots. “Ok, aim at the green bottle.” Green Star commanded. Pend took aim and shot, the kick on the gun shocked Pend but she held it strongly with her magic. She fired again hitting the bottle. “Good.” Green Star said. Pend shot three shots hitting two bottles. “Great job Pend, know you have one shot left, hit that apple in that tree.” Pend took aim and fired, she hit the branch sending apples every were. “Not what I had in mind, but ok.” Green star said looking at the broken branch. “Ok, know reload your gun, remember what I said?” “Yah, reload fast but not too fast.” “Good!”

They shot for a few hours, and then one of the workers at Sweet Apple Acers named Apple Jack, came and told us we had to go. Pend thanked her for the use of their farm, and then left.

When they got back to Ponyville, Princess Luna was there. She was saying something to the new gourds that came to protect the city from more attacks. Pend went closer to hear what they were saying. “I want you guys to go to the grave yard; we might have a lead to were the things are coming from.” Princess Luna said to the gourds and solders. “Yes princess.” A solder said there was a long silence then one solder asked. “Where is this grave yard?” “Ask a local.” Luna said “hey, you, you with the blue coat.” The general said pointing at Pend. “Y-yes?” Pend asked feeling nerves that Luna was now looking at her. “Where is the grave yard?” he asked “it’s over the river, and down the left path.” Pend said stepping forward. “I’ll take you there.” Pend said boldly. “What are you doing?” Green Star whispered into Pend’s ear. “Helping out are government.” Pend replied. “Could you do that for us?” Luna asked. “Yes I could just give me an hour and I’ll meet you on the out skirts of town.” “Ok I’ll see you there….” Luna said Luna walked away with her army of twenty ponys.

************************

“What was that?” Green Star shouted with anger. “What was what?” Pend asked. “You know what I’m talking about Pend!” “I want to fight.” Pend said packing her saddle with ammo and her revolver. Green Star sighed. “What if you die?” He said sadly. Pend never thought about that, she stopped packing and looked over. “Then I die.” She said turning back around stuffing more bullets into her saddle. “But, what if you turn into one of them!” this time she stopped packing and turned her whole body. A single tear ran down her face. “It’s ok.” Green star said hugging her. “No its not!” Pend said pushing Green star away. “I don’t want to live in a world of fear. Knowing that any day, those things will attack, and kill everything!” tears ran down her face as she remembered the attack on her and the attack yesterday. “You don’t have to do this.” Green Star said. “Yes I do, I want to see that there died. I’ve seen the government lie. What if they say there died when there still out there?” Green Star looked at her gun as she slid it into her saddle. “Then I’ll come with you.” “No, I want you here in case the things attack Ponyville.” “Ok, I will stay, as long as you come back.” They hugged for a long time, then Pend wiped the tears from her eyes, and said good bye.

It felt like a long time to walk to the meeting place, but really it only took ten minutes. “Hey there’s the kid!” a solder shouted. Pend walked up to the small army of solders, most armed with assault rifles. Some of the land ponys and Pegasus had the guns strapped to their sides, others carried them in there moths. “Are you ready for this?” the general asked Pend. “Yes I am ready.” “Good, let’s get ready to head out.”

They traveled passed the river, and started down the road when there was one of the things. There it stood eating a dead cow in the middle of the road. Every one stopped. “What is that thing!” one man shouted. Pend pulled out her gun and shot it dead center in the head. “It was one of them.” Pend said. “One of what?” and man cried from the army. “The things were going to kill.” “In the grave yard?” a man asked. “Yep, and were going to kill every last one.” Pend started to walk ahead, when two more of the things ran out.” BANG! BANG!

The gun of a soldier killed the things. “How many are there?” the pony that shot the things asked. “I don’t know, but I didn’t think there would be more in the same place.” Pend felt panicked, she looked all around her just to make shire there wasn’t any more. “Keep going ponys, we got to make it by sun down.” The general yelled to his men.

They traveled ten miles till they found another thing; another five and they found six. They traveled hours the men picked a name for the things, since they looked dead, and smelled dead, and could possibly be dead. They called them re-deads. Because they were re-dead after they killed them.

It was twenty minutes till sun down, Pend looked ahead to see a sign.

Ponyville grave yard one mile.

They were close, but it was almost sundown. They stopped at the sign. “You two!” the general said pointing at two solders. “Scout ahead; tell us if you see anything.” “Yes sir!” the two said as they levitated there rifles.

Pend walked back to the general, how had a cigar in his mouth. “It’s been fifteen minutes, and they aren’t back, we need to go see if there all right.” The general stood up from his bolder and walked over to Pend. “There just fine. They will come back any second know.” Pend felt angry that no one was lessening to her. After all she knew they should be back by known, and the sun was all most sun down.

*********************

Green Star looked down at his weapons thinking about Pend. If she was alive, or being eaten. Then a knock came from his door. “Come in!” Green Star shouted from the back room. “Green Star, it’s me Wood Joe.” Wood Joe was a brown coated pony that worked at the lumber mill. His job was to cut wood that the other ponys brought in. “yes, what is it?” Green Star asked loading a revolver. “It’s Fire Horn! She’s been attacked!” Green Star stood up from his work bench and ran out to the hall. “By what?” “O-one, of them things!” “Where is she?” Green Star asked putting his gun is his holster. “At the clinic! She’s getting medical help.” another attack! Green Star told himself. “Can you take me?” Green Star asked grabbing his saddle.

**********************

Pend watched the road for any sign of the solders. There was no sign. Pend figured that they were probably goofing off. After all there were no gun shots, so they probably didn’t see anything. Pend walked over to a stone and sat down. She pulled out a can of mints called big city mints, and plopped on in her moth. Pend loved a good mint, she didn’t eat them all the time, but she still loved them. As she chewed the mint she saw something down the road. It looked like the solders. She shot up from the stone and took a better look. It was hard to tell who they were. The sun was down, and the only light was from the moon. Pend walked closer. “Hey guys there back!” I solder shouted lying in the grass. Then the pony’s stopped walking. It chilled Pend to the bone. They just stared. “Ummmmm, Guys?” A solder said walking to Pend’s side. Pend pulled out her revolver. “I’ll go see what’s up with them.” Pend volunteered. “Take this, it’s a flash light.” The solder said beside her. He handed her a small blue flash light. “Thanks.” Pend said levitating the flash light above her gun.

As Pend walked towards the solders standing in the road she clicked on her flash light. “Hello?” Pend said shaking a little. She aimed the light at their faces. It was them!

But something wasn’t right. They stood there, staring into nothing. “Guys, snap out of it!” they slowly looked at Pend. “What’s going on?” Pend said taking a few steps. The solders smiled, it was the creepiest smile Pend had ever seen. “Something is up with you guys, you need medical help.” The solders started walking forward. Then they started to run. “Guys? Oh shit!” the solders leaped for Pend. Pend shot of all six shots killing one. The other one landed on Pend. Pend kicked the solder off realizing he was a re-dead. “Guys, he is a re-dead!” once she yelled that, BLAM! A shot came from the general. Hitting the re-dead, right on the head.

“Are you ok!” A solder yelled helping Pend up. “Y-yah, I’m ok!” Pend said shaking all over. “What happened to them?” Pend said levitating her gun to her side. “Look! Bite marks!” a solder pointed to a gash in one solders leg. “And there is one on the other one to!” he pointed to the other pony sneak. “Danm! They were bitten!” A younger looking solder said. “One bite and it turned them into a re-dead.” Pend looked at the bite marks. “How fast do you think it took?” Pend asked “maybe an hour to two hours.” “Look one has blood on its moth!” a solder yelled in shock. “It looks to me, one was bit, and when the other was carrying him back. He turned.” “We need to get back and tell the others!” Pend said putting her flash light away. “What about are mission to clear out the grave yard!” a solder said razing an assault rifle. “He has a point Pend; we have to clear out the grave yard.” “What!” Pend said in shock. “You want us to go in there after we know this happens if bitten!” “I’m sorry Pend, but Princess Luna gave us orders.” The general said flicking his cigar onto the ground. “Let’s get moving!” a pony said with a sniper rifle. “Sniper team stays back here in case we need a quick escape. Assault team and Pend fallow me!”

************************

Green Star walked into the clinic where the pony’s body laid. “Is she going to be all right?” Wood Joe asked. “I’m not Shure, She is freaking out.” Red hart replied. “Have you tried calming her down?” Green Star asked walking up to the bed. “Yes, we all have! She’s in a lot of pain.” Red hart said putting a wet towel on Fire Horns head. “Is her wound bad?” Wood Joe asked. “Yes, the flesh was ripped off to the bone on her leg.” Red Hart pulled back the sheet to show them the bandages on her leg. “We haven’t seen something like this for ever.” She said pulling the sheets back up. “Did you take care of the thing?” Green Star asked pushing hair out of Fire Horn’s face. “Yes we did, a solder saw it happen, and he blow its head right off.” Red hart said grabbing a cup of water. “I’m pretty Shure she will make it.” Red Hart said sipping the water.

***************************

This was it. The fight. Pend made Shure her gun was loaded, and walked with the solders. Some of the soldiers were nervous, and some were keeping their heads up high; as they walked into the grave yard. What they saw sis not agree with their stomachs. It was a horrifying site. There were re-dead’s everywhere! Belly’s torn, skin peeling from their bones. Pony’s vomited on the dirt. There were hundreds, possibly thousands. Pend stood there staring at the dead roaming around the grave yard. “Fire!” someone from the crowd shouted. At that moment the world filled with gun fire. Hot copper bullets filled the air. The sound of impacting bullets made Pend kind of sick to her stomach. Pend went into her own world for a moment or two. Until she remembered that she was in the battle field. The ponys were throwing grenades. Dirt and blood flew onto Pends coat. Then Pend started to panic. The dead were getting close. The gun fire kept them back, but they were slowly getting closer. Pend took a few steps back, knowing that the dead would over run the troops. “Guys!” Pend shouted over the gun fire. No one herd her.

She tried shouting several times. Her voice was too soft. Over the gun fire, and explosions, she could still hear the moans of the dead. She watched as body aster body fell of the dead. This went on for at least ten minutes. “I’m out of rounds!” a colt yelled. “Me to!” another yelled. Pend backed out of the main fence of the grave yard. Shit! This is it, were all going to die! Pend thought to herself as she rounded a tree. Maybe I can make a run for it? Wait, I can’t just leave them like this. Can I? Thoughts filled her mind as the ponys ran out of ammo. “Shit!” a young colt yelled as the swarm of the un-dead ran into them.

The shouts of the ponys filled Pend with fear. They were being eaten. “Help!” the general yelled to Pend, as a re-dead bit into his neck. Dozens of re-dead pilled to get to the meat. Pend looked over to a crawling solder. His legs had been ripped off. “Help me danm it!” the pony said. Pend didn’t know what to do. Pend took a step forward to try to save him when five re-deads jumped onto him. Pend felt like passing out of the pools of blood. Pend gave a small shout for help when two re-deads found her. She turned around and ran.

Pend was running out of strength as she ran down the road. Five re-deads chased her. She turned a corner to see the sniping team. “Help! Help!” Pend yelled as she ran. BANG! BANG!

The snipers shout bullets at the dead behind Pend. Pend ran past the team and fell to the ground. Tears filled her eyes. She had never seen pools of blood like that before. Shure sometimes ponys cut them self at work, but she had never seen guts pulled out of ponys before. Just the cries of help brought her to tears. She remembered the legless pony; and how he cried for help, and Pend didn’t come. Pend didn’t save him. The colt needed her help, and she just stood there. She didn’t know if she could live with her self.

“What happened?” a filly said dropping her sniper. “The… The re-deads…. They got to the solders. They ripped them apart!” Pend said in a low voice. The filly laid down next to Pend. “We need to get out of here.” She said pulling Pend to her hooves. “You don’t understand!” pend said. “There are thousands!” “It’s ok, were going to get you home.”

Any time.

I think that reviewing and considering a rewrite would not do any harm.

On a side note, I actually wrote all of my comments on an iPod as well. Well, hope you have fun, and if you need someone to proof-read your new story, don't be afraid to hit me up.
