Fluttershy sat in the grass playing with her butterfly friends. "Hello Mr. Sparkle, umm, you look very nice today." The butterfly smiled and Fluttershy watched as it flew up into the sky. "Well, my friends. I guess I'll see you tommorow. It's kind of getting late." The sun was barely just touching down over the mountain top and that meant that night was near. Fluttershy trotted home at a steady pace. As she was walking she heard someone psst to her in the bushes. When she got closer she found it was Zecora the zebra "witch" who lived in the Everfree forest. "Fluttershy, you must run fast, the spirits of the dead are rising at last. Celestia herself can't stop the dead, and the Royal Knights themselves have fled."
"The d-d-dead are r-r-rising?" She stuttered.
"YES, make haste! To Ponyville you must go! Grab all of your friends, the all must know!"
"What are y-y-you going to d-d-do Zecora?"
"Hide in my home is what I shall do, and maybe I can make a life-saving brew. Be safe young pony, I wish you the best of luck."
Zecora disappeared into the Everfree forest. Fluttershy galloped as quickly as she could, using her wings to speed herself along. She knocked first on Twilight's door. "Twilight," she said, "Open up!" Spike opened the door, "What is it Fluttershy? What's the matter?"
"Oh spike," Fluttershy said, "Zecora told me that the spirits of the dead ponies are going to rise! I need to talk to Twilight!"
"Uh-oh..."
"Why uh-oh?"
"Twilight left with Rainbow Dash, Applejack, and Rarity. She left me and-"
Pinkie Pie burst through the door, "Hiya Fluttershy. What's shaking?"
"Where did they go?"
Pinkie Pie rubbed her head with her hoof, "They said something about a beach vacation, but I knew that you didn't like sand, and I don't like sand, because sand always gets in my ears and in my nose, and in my hooves ,and in my-"
"Pinky, there's no time! We have to warn everypony in Ponyville!"
"About what?"
"About the spirits of the dead rising!"
"Oh," Pinkie Pie said, then she pointed, "Like that one behind you?" Fluttershy slowly turned around. "G-g-grandpa...R-r-ranger?" Staring her in the face was a decomposed yellow pony, it's skin hanging off in shreds. The wings on it's sides were badly decomposed and it dragged one of it's back legs slowly. It moaned, and stuttered towards them. "Uh-oh," Spike said, "everypony get inside!" They quickly ran inside of Twilight's tree house and shut the door. "Fluttershy," Pinkie asked her, "Did you know that smelly dead pony?"
"Yes, his name was Ranger. He was one of the best sheriffs in all of Ponyville, and he died 4 years ago...Zecora told me the truth, the dead ponies are rising!"
"What are we going to do Fluttershy?"
"I d-d-don't know..."
"I'll tell you what we're going to do!" Spike yelled triumphantly, jumping on top of a stool that lay on the ground, "We're going to save everyone in Ponyville! We'll fight off those monsters, and send them back into their graves."
"Well," Pinky said, "I don't know how we'd do it, but I'm absopositively certain that there's a way! What do you think Fluttershy?"
"Um, well, I'm *gulp* scared."
"We all are Fluttershy, but just think. We can be the heroes of Ponyville."
(This is the moment where Pinky breaks into a fabulous song)
The dead of Pony ville are starting to rise,
and soon they'll be in for a big surprise.
We'll come up with a plan that'll knock them off their feet,
saving Ponyville itself will be such a treat.
So Fluttershy grab that axe by the door,
It's not just for cutting wood anymore.
Spike take this sword I've just randomly got,
We'll save Ponyville, oh we've got a shot!
*at this moment the door swings open and the ponies start chopping away at the zombie's while they enter.*
It's zombie killing time, we'll save the day
It's zombie killing time, they end up flayed
It's zombie killing time, don't you stray
One it's done we'll eat some hay!
"We reached Town Hall, but there are so many of them!" Spike said, cutting away at a purple unicorn trying to bite his neck. "We'll be surrounded soon!" Suddenly a whistle sounded off,showing a gray pony with short black hair. He wore a blue shirt, and his cutie mark was something they had never seen before. It was a chainsaw. The pony raised a double barreled shotgun, "Hail to the King baby." He blew his way through the crowd to rescue the stranded ponies, as they chopped away at the dead Fluttershy asked the pony, "W-w-ho are you?"
"Name is Ash toots, what's yours?"
"Fluttershy..."
"Cute name, I like it. Listen baby doll, I now how to stop this whole thing. All you guys gotta do is follow me."
"To where?"
"The Deadite cave."
"Where is that?"
"It's basically a well that's a little ways out of town. Inside is a magic book called the Ponynomicon."
"The Ponynomicon?"
"Dangerous book, basically it's bringing all the hoofheads to unlife."
"Well.."
"We'll do it," Spike said, "Let's go!"
(So ends the 1st part of this adventure, stay tuned to find out if Fluttershy, Ash, Pinkie Pie, and Spike can stop the onslaught of undead ponies and save Ponyville!)
