MLP and L4D2 Crossover Fanfic: Of Pandemics and Ponies
Prologue: Switch
"Who in the hell, puts an evac station, up forty flights of goddam stairs?" puffed Coach.
"I dunno. Maybe the helicopter. Maybe its made of chocolate. Ha..." joked Nick.
When they reached the door, Ellis and Rochelle were already outside.
"Hello?" shouted Ellis, "Where is everyp-body?" He almost said everypony.
The helicopter was flying away and Rochelle was getting hysterical, repeating "This can't be happening." over and over again.
Nick was about to complain about how much trouble it took to get to the top of the hotel when the wind suddenly started to pick up.
"Hey, the helicopter must be comin back!" said Ellis happily.
Nick looked around. There wasn't a helicopter in sight. So where was the wind coming from?
He was about to warn the other survivors, when they were enveloped in a white light.
"Alright everypony, I've gathered you here today to witness a new spell I've learned!" said a cheery Twilight Sparkle.
"Not to offend ya, sugarcube, but you're starting to sound like that braggy pants, Trixie." said an orange Earth Pony.
"This isn't some pointless trick, Applejack! It's a helpful tool!"
Twilight's friends were sitting in the library, all watching her expectantly.
"Now, this spell is designed to give you ink marks on your body that will morph into text or numbers! So you can have reminders pop up on your leg or check the time on your nose."
Her friends looked somewhat confused.
"To demonstrate this, I will cast the spell on Spike."
The dragon was standing nearby. He waved at the audience to show his presence. Twilight pointed her horn at Spike and squeezed her eyes shut. The unicorn's horn began glowing a dull fuchsia. Suddenly there was a gust of wind and a giant flash of light. Spike got the full force of the flash and was blinded.
He couldn't make out very much, but he noticed that his pony friends had disappeared and had been replaced by four...things.
