Chapter 3

A/N: As many of you seem to think, this is a crossover of MLP and The Last of Us (Which is an extremely good game) but it is not. It was just heavily influenced by it and others. Here's the list of various games and movies that influenced this fanfic:
Games

Left 4 Dead (1 and 2)

State of Decay

The Last of Us

Dead Rising

Dead Island

Movies

Extinction: The G.M.O. Chronicles (Extremely good and highly recommend it)

State of Emergency

Notice how I did not put World War Z in that list. The truth is as a movie it was good, but as a movie based off a book it was pretty bad.

Location: Canterlot Castle/ Equestria

Date: July 3, 2025

As soon as the yellow flash faded away I yanked on my gas mask and handed a spare to the princess. It was the kind that was temporary and only covered the mouth and nose. Surprisingly it actually fit. Looking around I saw we were inside a long hall. At one end was a single golden throne with red cushions and at the other was a large golden door. In between the two was about a dozen or so of the guards, all of them shambling around the room. Shouldering the MP5, I took aim and opened fire. It was easy and only took about ten seconds to drop all of them. I motioned for the princess to show me where the cache was. As I had feared she started to walk towards the doors. I followed her with the MP5 raised and ready to fire.

"Alright princess what is it?" I whispered as I approached the door.

"What?" she hissed.

"I know you've been wanting to ask or tell me something, now's the time. Before we get torn apart by zombies."

"I just wanted to apologize fo-" she began but I interrupted her.

"Don't."

"What?" she asked, this time confused.

"Don't apologize. I don't deserve it."

"But every pony needs to be forgiven at some point."

"Not me princess. Not after some of the things I've done." I replied as I slowly opened the door. The hallway beyond was completely empty other the occasional patch of blood. Stepping out into the hallway I motioned for Princess Celestia to lead the way. It didn't take long to get to the storage area that was underground. We ran into infected only several times on the way and dispatched them quickly. Actually I should say I dispatched them quickly. Thankfully most of the infected were in the courtyard and really didn't pose much of a threat. The storage area was huge. Easily the size of a football stadium. It was filled with small boxes stacked to the ceiling, to the large Connex freight containers. I couldn't believe that this was for only gas masks.

"How...?" I began.

"It's not all for gas masks. The vast majority is armor, and weapons for the guards." Princess Celestia said. Answering my unasked question.

"Okay which ones carry the gas masks and how many are in one?"

"they're in those." Princess Celestia replied, pointing at one of the larger crates. "Each one carries about twenty thousand."

"How many can you move... using your teleport magic shit?"

"Including you and me? About eight." Celestia replied. As she said this I heard a snarling of a Charger.

"Uh Princess..." I started.

"What?!" she replied with a little bit of hostility. She was clearly still mad at me and I don't think that was going to change anytime soon.

"There's one of them in here with us." I whispered as I made sure that the MP5 had a full magazine. The princess's eyes widened then narrowed. As she adopted a more stable stance, I heard the Charger started to shamble over to us. Chargers were large and fast. Not as fast as a sprinter but still pretty fast. A yellow glow enveloped me and a felt a strange tingling sensation across my skin. The Charger turned the corner and I got a good look at it. It was about my size with bulging muscles. The only thing that put it apart from others was its horn. Unlike most unicorns this one's horn was folded out like flower petals. It continued to walk forward completely ignoring me. As it approached me I raised the MP5 and fired. It howled in rage and charged towards. I continued to fire at its overgrown head but it slugged off the bullets. I rolled out of the way as it was about to ram me.

"Princess… you could hurry up please." I yelled as I rolled away again. I ran down a hallway between crates and unslung the Stoner.

"Long distance teleportation is very difficult, and it doesn't help that you're running around." Princess Celestia yelled. I clicked off the safety as I ran.

"Tell that to the bastard trying to fucking eat me!" I yelled as I crouched down, took aim, and fired a shot. The bullet flew true and hit the Charger in the forehead.

"The language is unnecessary." Celestia growled.

"Well go-" I was interrupted by a flash of yellow light and I found myself right outside the camp. "-fuck youself."

"Silence." she hissed as she set down the crates. Immediately, guards came from the camp and converged on the crates. They opened them up and started to pack them into smaller crates. As soon as one was done, a several pegasai would fly it away. In the corner of my eye I saw Princess Celestia speaking to a group of guards, all of them were unicorn guards. After a minute they all nodded, saluted, and then disappeared in a riot of colors. I assumed that they were all going back to the castle to get more gear. A few minutes later I was proven right when they reappeared with different crates. As they unloaded these ones I saw they filled with food and weapons.

"Hold it!" I yelled over all the noise. Immediately all the ponies stopped what they were doing and stared at me. I walked forward and retrieved a black marker from by rucksack. Leaning over a crate filled with food and weapons that was about to be shipped of, I started to write. After I was done I pointed to a random guard.

"You!" I said.

"Me?" the guard replied.

"Yes you! Now get over here." I replied. As the guard approached me I held out the marker.

"Sign it." I told him.

"What?" he asked, clearly confused.

"You don't have to understand the order just fuckin do it." I growled. The guard hesitantly grabbed the marker and signed. When he was done the top of the crate read, 'YOU ARE NOT FORGOTTEN Private Broadside'

"That is what you are going to do with every one you send. You'll write that and sign your name and rank. Is this understood?!" I asked.

"Yes sir!" they all chorused.

"I'm not a sir. I work for a fucking living." I replied as I walked off. I didn't see Princess Celestia anywhere in the camp, which suited me just fine. As I walked around I noticed something. All the ponies were walking around in a very depressed manner. I smiled as I thought of a way to lift their spirits up. There was suddenly a pink blur in front of me.

"Ohmygosheyou'rethatnewponyeverypony'sbeentalkinga bout!" a pink mare said. The pink mare had a pink mane and was jumping energetically. "Theywerealllike 'He's such a meanie pants!' but then I was all like' Noheisn't' SoIdecidedtogomeetyou! ButyouhadalreadyleftandIwasalllike 'Aaah' but then-" she was interrupted as a cyan colored pegasus covered her mouth with her hoof. The owner of the hoof had rainbow colored hair and rose colored eyes.

"I think he wants to keep his sanity Pinkie Pie."

"But... but... but physics." I stammered. While she had talked the pink one had disappeared and reappeared in another spot, several times.

"It's better if you didn't question it." the rainbow haired pegasus said. "I' Rai-

"I would love to stay and chat but I got to go." I told them As I spotted the pony I was looking for. I walked away and towards a purple pony who was sitting down in front of a tent reading a book.

"Miss Twilight!" I called out to her. She looked up towards me and gave a nervous smile.

"Hello." she said as she stood up.

"I need your help with something." I told her. I then whispered my plan into her ear. She smiled and nodded energetically.

"That seems like a great Idea!" she said as she got up.

"Where do we need to go?" Twilight asked.

"Well I need some cooking supplies so-" I was interrupted by a flash of purple light and I suddenly appeared in the dining room of an expensive restaurant. Unprepared I fell over and smacked my face on a table.

"Son of a-" I started to say. As I got up I heard Twilight giggle. I just shot her a look and then made my way to the kitchen. It didn't take long to find the things I needed. As soon as I found them I started to load them into a cardboard box that was about the size of Twilight.

"Do you really need all that stuff?" she asked after sever minutes. The box was almost full by now.

"No..." I started to say, "... but it makes it much more..." I stopped, trying to think of a word.

"Easier?" Twilight suggested.

"Elegant was the word I was looking for. I could cook you a romantic three course dinner with nothing more than a spoon and a knife."

"Are you lying?" she asked, obviously thinking I was pulling her leg with the last bit.

"Well... I would need a candle too." At this she giggled. With all the stuff I needed, I hefted the box up.

"Alright Twilight, I'm ready to go back." Her horn started to glow purple.

A/N: Okay I actually have started to do fanfic readings and will post them on Youtube, I need to ask a favor. Can any of you provide cover art for my Channel. I would do it myself but I'm busy with various other things. So if any of you want to it would be much appreciated. Just PM me to tell me your doing it before you go and do it.
