Chapter 2

Princess Sugarcube screamed in horror, then slammed the door shut using her magical horn. She practically rammed into the window before, once again, using her magic to send it up.

Just then, Princess Celestia the Zompony sent the great doors of Princess Sugarcube's suite flying open. More moans dragged on from her. Princess Sugarcube didn't realize she was standing still until she was less than a yard away.

Princess Sugarcube flew out of the window with such speed even Rainbow Dash would be impressed. Big. Mistake.

Ponies of every race swarmed the castle and skies, making Princess Sugarcube shutter. Of course, she thought. Canterlot is the top city on the map. There will be too many Zomponies to outsmart or outrun.

Princess Sugarcube soared as high as she dared, in fear of not getting oxygen, and overlooked the city. She was trying to find survivors. THERE! A young little filly and her mother crept around the once elegant streets, which were now coated in dust and blood.

Even if they wouldn't be helpful allies in the wake of the Trotting Dead, she had to help them to the best of her ability. Princess Sugarcube dived down, aiming for the weak duo earth ponies on the ground.

Little did she know, a Pegasus with a light blue coat and a striking rainbow mane had suspected this. Her cannibal teeth tore into Princess Sugarcube's flesh, brainwashed by the Zompony disease, before gliding down to feast on the earth ponies below.
