Authors note; I've only seen up to season 2 of MLP;FiM, this was back when the show was relatively new.. i guess?

basically its been a while since i last saw the show. :v also please heavily criticize this, thanks!

So, im Lance Koklauser, i have scruffy, faded brown hair, and dull crimson eyes. a rounded oval head with slightly puffy cheeks, with pale skin. I've been repeating this over and over like a mantra, HALLUCINATIONS ARE FUCKING TERRIFYING WHEN THEY CHANGE YOUR APPEARANCE. i worked behind the scenes on Titan Station as some guy managed to destroy this thing, a Marker as its called, and managed to survive hordes of those.. Things.. Hell this guy managed to stay sane after seeing EXPLODING FUCKING BABIE'S FOR GODS SAKE.

But as far as i know, he's long gone, a freaking crazy person flew in with a big ass ship, and saved him! As for me i wasnt so lucky... Currently im laying on the earthen floor, Bleeding out from a Slasher's blade that got stuck in my shoulder, i've got Puker burns all over my arms, hell at this point id might as well be dead! And then it got cold real fast, i remember falling asleep. Maybe its all over now, nobody would remember, id stop being tormented by these hallucinations and Necromorphs.. its all just over now, this entire hell, this nightmare is over. Daniel, Franco.. Im coming..

Meanwhile an Infector watched as its victim slowly died on the barren ground. While the Marker would die soon after, it must still complete its duties. The eerie flatline of a dead R.I.G filled the cavern as it slowly choked out. The Infector flew in, grappling the corpse, burrowing its probuscis deep into his skull, fluids and gray matter slowly oozing out, blood flowing out like rapids from the corpses wounds as the bodys tense muscles was the only thing keeping it from spilling out in an everlasting downpour.. but before the Infector could finish his 'Divine work' there was a thunderous slap of air being forced inwards and out of the cavern, collapsing the cavern, killing the infector and burying the corpse. The Marker had exploded in a golden outpour of light. pushing away all the air creating a vacuum that would kill anyone trapped in its wake, And it would take Titan Station, or atleast parts of it. with it, However Lances ship had been having issues with its shock drive, it was of his own design, scrappy but atleast it worked, despite the piles of rust and its gears which always growled in protest of its own use. He never left anyplace without because it was his lifeline, a shelter and an escape. however the thud of two corpses hitting it at once, along with the barrage of dirt and stone, managed to initiate the shock drive, the ship was torn in half as time and space tore at the seams to make a 'Gate', reaveling a warm blue hole that pulsed a cold cyan blue every now and then, sucking in earth and dust and the body of Lance, along with some metal debris.

Meanwhile in Equestria, Twilight Sparkle sat on her bed while reading a book she had taken from Zecoras place in the Everfree Forest, it was all about herbs ranging from the harmless fern, to the poison joke, which from her experience, cannot be very funny at all.. Exept for Fluttershy's voice, that everyone could enjoy although Fluttershy did not like it one bit at all. She was studying up on herbs as she and Zecora would be going out to harvest as a few pesky Parasprites had eaten most of her herbs that she had stored, and thankfully it didn't end up as the previous Parasprite infestation that ended up devouring her books and most of Ponyville, however Zecora had managed to protect her hidden reserve of herbs, so they wouldn't need to go out for atleast two days, which left them some time to scout out for herbs, Twilight closed the book, and placed it on the windowsill next to her bed, she got up and started heading out to the bathroom, brushed up her hair and on the way out decided to get an apple to eat as she wasn't very hungry today. She decided she'd go and visit Fluttershy's and see if they could find a snakes mother as Fluttershy had found a lost snake last night, and to talk about some marks left on a stone that she had seen. As she headed out she saw everything was as is, Pinkie Pie was being her cheerful self at Sugarcube Corner, well not after assaulting Twilight with a barrage of excited Hi's, Hellos, Where you going? and many offers to have a cupcake which she gladly took. it was all normal, she had finished the trip to Fluttershys house and knocked gently on the door not wanting to disturb or spook any animals inside, Fluttershy had answered, and quietly said

"One moment please, im getting the snake"

and Twilight simply gave a nod of understanding, a minute afterwards and Fluttershy returns with a small baby snake on her back as she and Twilight trodded off to a small grassy field, there was a stone with some type of noodle like string on it, However it was the snakes mother upon further inspection, as Fluttershy let the two snakes reunite. The two snakes flicked their tongues at Fluttershy and Twilight, the snakes then headed further into the field, the foliage swallowing them up, The two ponies trotted back to Fluttershys home, where Fluttershy and Twilight had settled in for a conversation.

"I was calmly trotting through the woods" Spoke Fluttershy

"I had reached a small cliff edge, when i noticed some deep slashes in the stone, i was worried thinking it was someone or somepony, but i didn't see a body, or anything other than hunks of metal.. Except..." Fluttershy trailed off, her head slowly hanging. and Twilights mood had dropped, why would Fluttershy trail off like that? The room seemed darker, and more ominous..

"What did you see?" Pressed Twilight hesitantly.

Fluttershy had been hesitant, but then answered.

"Blood.."
