-Applejack-

"I need Tiers One and Nine on at the Northern Gates. Two and Ten; West Gate!" I barked orders, "Three and Nine; East Gate! I want the rest, With Me!" I was handed a bulletproof vest and I set it into place. I was also handed a hip holster for my left side. I slowed to a stop as a huge gun was set into the hip holster. I set the handles in front of me, "MOVE!" I shouted at the South Gate. The men and women holding the gate shut moved. Zombies came flooding from behind the large wooden double doors.

"Mock! Clear!" I pulled the double triggers on the gun and a purple blast was shot out of the cannon toward the zombies. The blast sent the beasts into the air. They fell in pieces as people began whooping and cheering. I detached the gun and dropped it. I Dashal came up to me in leather black skin tight armor. I pulled her in and gave her a long kiss.

"Did we finally draw out the Alpha Herd?" I asked her.

"It's on its way. It should be here in about ten minutes."

"Then have the Empire Command Fleet rest up to the north west direction."

"What about Luna and Celestia?" she asked me.

"They made their choice. At least Cadence and Twilight have my back."

"Lieutenant Applejack! We have some civilians trying to flee the city," I heard on my radio, "Gate C-Six."

"On my way sergeant. I'll be there in four," I looked to Dashal, "We still good for tonight?"

"Yeah," she chuckled before kissing me again, "Just make sure that you shower first."

"Want me to join you and make sure that you wash your back."

"Ooooh," I groaned, "So naughty. See you at seven."

I took off the hip holster and jogged away. I ran up to the Gate and saw Twilight pressed against the car with her parents and brother. They were all cuffed and shouting at the soldiers.

"Lieutenant Commander on deck!" everyone stood erect.

"As you were," I ordered and went to the car, "Turn them around," I ordered again.

When Twilight was turnedaround, I began speaking, "Where are you going?"

"I'm going with my family to Manehatten. We hear there's more hope for humanity there."

I heard screaming to my right and looked. There were zombies climbing buildings. A couple of them jumped and grabbed hold of the helicopter in the air. The chopper spun out and crashed; its explosion pushed me back into a wall.

I hit my head against the concrete and I immediately transported to the night that Applebloom was left on our door step.

I was already laying awake, thinking about my future and my parents. My thoughts and dreams were interrupted by the sound of knocking from the front door. I sat up and looked outside to see that the moon was still up. Quietly making my way downstairs, I heard someone sipping on a drink. Going into the kitchen revealed much more than I was ready to understand.

Granny Smith was sitting there with a large bottle on the island countertop and a small glass in her hand, "Granny Smith?" she looked at me.

"Get the door," she said blandly as she stood.

I went to the door and opened it. Looking around revealed no one around. I heard whimpering from below. I saw a baby laying in a cradle mewling. She looked up at me with her big red eyes. She smiled at me and reached up for me. I pulled her out of the cradling basket and held her.

She laughed and cooed as she squirmed around, "Oh! A baby!" Granny Smith exclaimed.

"Yeah, she was just left here. Whoever knocked on the door is the one who left this little cuttie," I kissed the baby's face as Granny Smith leaned over and pulled out a large coin. On it said, "Applebloom?" I asked her.

"I guess that's her name. We will turn her over to Orphan Prime in the morning."

"No!" I went into the house, "I feel as though that this little one is supposed to stay with us. I want us, so I wanr her to stay."

"Uh, okay," she smiled, "We'll keep her."

"And name her Applebloom," I handed the infant my fingers. She grabbed them and looked at them with such confusion before she looked at me and made high pitched laughing sounds.

-Rainbow Dash-

The sudden explosion sent people into a frenzy. I ran toward Aj's position and saw that a medic was checking the back of her head. She tried shooing her off, but the medic was adamantly checking Aj as zombie bodies were being dragged off.

I ran over to Aj, "What happened?"

"A zombie wave hit us. We don't know how or why they attacked us, all we know is that they do," she groaned to her feet holding her gut.

"Are you okay?" I asked her.

"I'm fine. You just focus on your end and everything should be fine after that."

"I can't if I know you're hurting."

"I'm fine," she groaned and winced.

"Listen, even Tiers and odd Tiers have everything under control. Command Tier isn't needed anymore."

"So what did you have in mind?" Aj took a couple steps forward and our faces almost touched.

"I was thinking a movie and some snacks for tonight," Aj placed her hands on my narrow hips and pulled me in.

"Is that all?" she asked as she began planting kisses all over my neck.

"Y-y-yeah," I stuttered. Aj became fiercer with her kisses and I was losing my mind, "But maybe not?"

"Tell me what you want," Aj said hoarsely.

Her moving thigh was hitting my clit and I was close to cumming, "I want you," I whimpered into her ear. I loved her and I knew that she loved me. Which made our touching each other out in public even more daring and hot for me.

"Then come on," she slowly took a step back and I lost contact. When I did, I mewled and quietly moaned as a way of pleading for Aj to continue the contact.

The blonde then grabbed my hand and pulled me along, "Gem! You're in command until further notice," Aj commanded.

"Yes Sir!" we heard a woman shout over the crowd.

Apple led me all the way back to her house. We went inside and heard a little toddler shouting, "No!"

"But you have to eat it if you wanna be big and strong," Granny Smith pleaded.

"No! It groooossss!" Applebloom groaned.

I rolled my eyes when Aj walked into the kitchen. She always put her sister before her and before anyone else, "Hey, hey, hey," I walked to the door and leaned against it to watch Aj with her sister. Aj was hunched over and talking to the toddler in the highchair, "What's wrong?"

"I don't want veggietibbles," Applebloom whined.

"And nothing I say seems to make her want to eat them either," Granny Smith sighed.

Aj looked back at Applebloom, "You wanna be strong like me?" Applebloom squealed in hapiness and nodded quickly, "Then you have to eat up," Aj pushed the small plate of veggies in front of her sister.

Applebloom looked at the plate for a few seconds before using her hands to finish her food. She always manages getting Applebloom to eat. Aj turned around and rolled her eyes. The blonde then walked out of the kitchen and grabbed my hand. When we got to her room, I slammed the door and went right into a kissing fight. As we kissed, we stripped each other of all our clothing.

Aj kissed down my neck and down my cleavage. I moaned as my fingers ran through her silky pale yellow hair. She cupped a breast and took its nipple into her mouth. Her hit breath and cool teeth teasing the nub of flesh. My pussy caught fire as she tugged on my nipple with her teeth, "Aha!" I yelped when she nipped at my skin. She moved her lips to my other nipple and swirled her tongue around my hardening nipple.

"Aj!" I breathed, "Oh shit!" I shuddered in response. That action went noticed and caused Aj to suck on my nipple harder, "Mmh! No!" I felt my pussy begin to leak already.

"Is my Dashal gonna cum?" she looked up at me and I just nodded. Aj soon pushed me against the wall and dropped to her knees. She lifted a leg of mine and rested the back of the thigh on her shoulder. She kept eye contact as she gave my pussy lips one long slow lick. I groaned heavily as I felt my body peak, "You taste so good," Aj said before she gave me another passionate lick.

I held the back of her head and shoved her nose into my hole, "Make Me Cum! Make Me Cum!" I quickly said. She moved her lips to my clit and pulled hard on it. My limbs went weak as I felt my orgasm spill out of me. I dropped and fell on my ass. Aj smiled at me, "Thank you," I panted.

"Are we done already?" she asked.

"Just for now," I breathed.

"Tac Ops to Command! Tac Ops to Command! Come In!" a man said quickly over the radio, "Tac Ops to Command!"

Aj rushed to the place where she dropped her black leather pants and pulled out a radio, "Command to Tac Ops!" she said into the tiny black box.

"We have a situation here! Zombies are taking over!"

"Hold for as long as possible!" Aj commanded as she threw her clothes back on, "Tac Ops! We Move Now!" she grabbed a hilt of a sword from underneath a coffee table, "Dash! Suit up; we're on! So look alive!"

-Twilight-

My parents and I were set free as the city was descending into madness. Zombies were everywhere; killing everyone. I was so confused and the only person I seem to blame is Aj. If she had just let me and my family go, my parents and I wouldn't be here. We would be safe, "Twilight!" I whipped around to see Aj running up to me.

"Go away!"

"Listen Twilight, we gotta stick together."

"No we don't," I hissed at her, "If you just let my parents and I go, we could've been safe from all of this."

"Manehatten is dead!" she forced, "Here and Canterlot are the only two places still with life! Now c'mon!"

"I'm not going anywhere with you," I growled, "This is all your fault! You and I should have never become friends."

"Good!" she snapped and got in my face, "I never wanted to be your friend from the start."

"For the last ten years you've always hated me anyway. So I knew this was coming. Goodbye."

"Whatever," she crossed her arms and rolled her eyes.

I ran in a random direction to just get away from her. I just cried because Aj I thought was such a good friend and would allow me and my family to move to Manehatten. Then something caught my attention. Rarity's store. I went to the window with a television. The tv was on its side and it had the news channel on it. Except, there weren't any people, just zombies. On the captions underneath it read, "Once Proud Manehatten," I said to myself.

"Oh my god," I cover my mouth with my hands as I dropped to my knees, "She was right and I didn't believe her."

-Aj-

I caught a mag that was tossed to me. I slammed it into the gun and continued firing, "Flash! Get behind me!" the blue haired man ran behind me just as a Zombie ran up to us. I used my advanced level of combat training to deliver a bicycle kick to the chin of the zombie. I heard its neck snap as its head whips back. The body goes limp and falls.

"Where's Twilight?" he asked.

"I don't know," I rolled my eyes, "Why don't you go and look for her?"

"Applejack?" I heard coming from behind me. I turned around and saw Twilight standing there, "Can I talk to you?"

"As long as you make it quick. I've got something to do in a few minutes."

"I was looking at a tv and it showed that Manehatten is dead like you said. And for that, I am sorry.:

"If you really wanna apologize," I pulled a gun from underneath my pant leg and right at my ankle, "You aim, then fire. In that order," I shoved the gun into her hands, "Can you handle that?" I said in spite. Guess I was still pissed off from what happened earlier.

"Yeah," she somewhat snapped back at me.

"Good," I pulled two handguns from my hips and began firing at zombies.

Twilight ran off in a random direction. In my ear I heard, "First to Second! First to Second!" it was Granny Smith.

"Gram-Gram?" I said into the mic clipped to the collar of my undershirt.

"Yeah, uh, here's the thing. My team and I have been pinned down at the ranch. The zombies found the labyrinth of tunnels underground," she explained to me as shots began firing in the background.

"I'm on my way!" I told her.

"NO!" she stated, "Keep the fight on the swell and keep to the mission! You are in control now!"

-Dashal-

"Aj?" I called into the mic on my breast plate, "Aj?" I kept calling.

Soon, I heard a broken voice in my ear, "Dash... charge now... orchards!" was all I heard before the mic cut out.

"Orchards?" I asked myself, "Apple Farms!" I ran as fast as I could and it just felt like I was flying.

-Aj-

I ran down Mane Street and cut left onto Hula Hoof Circle, 'They need to change these names,# I thought to myself as I ran. When I got to Apple Acres, it looked almost exactly like a battlefield. Bodies of both human and zombie alike laid there motionless.

The sound of gun shots drew me to the Orchards. Trees had bullet holes in them and it just made me so sad and angry that this is what is becoming of the world I once knew. A lot has changed in the last eight years since my parents died.

In the middle of the Orchards were five humans trying to ward off scores of Zombies. I side kicked a tree and apples began falling. As they fell, I used my speed and agility to send out a flurry of kicks. Each kick hit an apple and sent tbe red fruit into the heads of the zombies. The deformed grey heads whipped to their sides and snapped the necks of the zombies.

On one of the kicks, a rainbow blast caught my attention. The loud boom caused all of space and time to be at a stand-still. The rainbow faded out and caused me to momentarily forget about the rest of the zombies. What caused me to snap out of my trance was a blood curdling scream. I snapped my eyes forward and saw the zombies overtaking what was left of my family, "NOOOOOOOOOO!" I bellowed and grabbed a few apples from the ground. I hurled all of them through the air and it hit all of the zombies. This caused the zombies to stagger and as they did, "Die!" I pulled my handguns from my hips and fired. Each shot hitting the zombies right between the eyes.

I dropped my guns and fell to my hands and knees. I slowly crawled over to my bloodied and dying grandmother, "Gram-Gram?" I cried as I pulled her head into my lap, "Granny Smith?" she looked up at me with red and tired eyes, "I am so sorry, Granny Smith!" I cried as tears fell from my eyes and onto her face.

"I-it's okay," she spat up blood and it spilled down her cheek, "Don't be worried."

"I Have To Be!" I just sobbed, "I got distracted! If I wasn't, I could've saved you!"

She reached up and held my cheek, "I'll see you on the flip side... Applejack," she smiled and I watched as the life left from her eyes.

"RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!" I shot up and just began stomping around. I drove my fingers into the bark of the closest tree and pulled it out of thw ground. I spread my arms and split the tree into two pieces. The apples lying around, I picked up and just began throwing them in random directions.

-Dashal-

I made it to the Orchards and skidded to a stop. I saw Aj holding Granny Smith in her arms and I gasped, "No!" Aj began freaking out and I just kept my distance. I rubbed the right side of my hip due to the fact that it was tingling a little.

Aj began throwing apples around and when she was done, she dropped to her knees. I slowly made my way over to her. I dropped to my knees in front of her. She held herself as she kept her eyes shut as she sobbed, "Aj?" she turned her head, "Aj, honey?" I held her face and she slowly opened her eyes, "There we go," I said as I wiped the tears from her eyes, "Such a beautiful woman," she began smiling a little, "C'mon," I pushed her hair back out of her face, "We still have work to do."

"Just let me do something first," she moved back over to Granny Smith and pulled something out of the corpse's body. I stood up and saw that she pulled out a tiny box from the breast plate pocket, "These are the seeds Granny Smith always held onto. I don't know why, but she always did," Aj also picked up her grandmother's body and walked over to a clearing. When Aj set the body down, she spent the next twenty minutes almost digging a hole big enough for Granny Smith. Aj moved the body and set it into the grave. She pulled out three little seeds from the blue box and set them on top of Granny Smith's chest.

"She was always like a mother to me," Aj stated as she pushed the dirt back over the hole, "I just wanted to bury her properly is all," she fully stood up.

"She was a mother to us all," I slung my arm over her shoulders and leaned my head against hers.

We can leave now," she sniffed a few times, "I will miss you though Granny Smith," we took a few steps away when Aj stopped and looked back, "I'll see you on the flip side Granny Smith."
