Chapter 4: Cupcakes.

(Evil-Note.- Very good, my dear friends, the only thing I'll say is that the title is a preamble of what's about to happen, so if you know the reference and you did not like it, stop reading in this very moment, and if you don't know it but are fans of Gore, I think you will like it, and depending on the point of view of each one, this chapter will be even more cruel than the previous one)

(October 31st, 2016 [Local calendar] - 04:00 hours from the initial infection - Mission clock of the Resistance - Location: S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier)

Panic had spread like fire on a dry field.

Reports from all the cities of the world, especially those with superheroes, came out without rhyme or reason, talking about people who simply began to eat others without saying a word.

No one knew what was going on, at least until now.

As such, Nick Fury had taken the task to gather as many heroes and villains as he could to form a resistance, in a desperate attempt to stem the infection.

And now, in the control room of the Helicarrier, several dozen heroes and agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. were standing, remotely accompanied by more heroes, villains and agents of W.A.N.D. and S.W.O.R.D. from the Damocles Base and the Siege, all of them waiting for news and the plan of attack to stop and heal or eliminate the zombies.

While everyone was wondering what kind of plan Fury had devised, next to the platform where they were going to speak, a couple of doctors were finishing putting bandages on the stump that Majestia had after losing her arm to Style Queen while trying to save her sisters Streak and Stretch, and for his part, Fury looked at her with a very strange expression for the always stoic Director of S.H.I.E.L.D., concern.

"Loud, you shouldn't be here, you should stay at the infirmary." Nick Fury said.

"I lost an arm, Fury, I'm not dying." Majestia said as she looked at the stump that was left of her right arm. "Also, they need my testimony, Leni is by far the most dangerous of them all and only I've seen her potential."

"Don't say you're the only one, Majestia." Said Firestar. "I was one of her mentors."

"Yeah, but trust me when I tell you that she had been holding back all this time."

With that said, Fury, Firestar, Tom, American Son, and Majestia walked towards the center of the room, attracting everyone's attention, mainly due to the fact that Lori was missing an arm.

Once they were in the center of the control room, Majestia nodded and said:

"Well, I'll be brief because by this point, everyone already has a good idea of what's going on and every second that we lose, this advances more and more." Majestia said. "Apparently, my lunatic of a sister and that idiot Mr. Fantastic lied about the mission in another universe, since when Party Blast and the Yellow Ranger returned, they brought a pretty bad present."

"So far, we have reports that Party Blast, Spider-Man, Ladybug, Rena Rouge, Carapace, Iron Fist, Stream, the Yellow and Red Rangers, Ace Savvy, Style Queen, the Invisible Woman, the Thing, Ethan Morgan, Captain America and Sarah Fox have been infected by the virus, and we have confirmation that Chat Noir, Queen Bee, Queen Star Butterfly, Streak, Iron Heart, Stretch, Mr. Fantastic, and the Black and Pink Rangers have died." Said Fury.

"As you can see, the situation is getting quite ugly, so we must act quickly and with caution." Majestia said. "The plan is simple, while we are divided between the cities and towns that have been affected by the outbreak to try to save as many innocents as possible, the technicians and geniuses who haven't yet been infected will be working at the Damocles Base, reconfiguring the time engine to turn it into a translight engine."

"And as much as you guys may love the infected, nothing can be done for them, Iron Heart confirmed it to Majestia before Ace Savvy crushed her head, so do not hesitate, go for the kill. Whoever the infected are, we'll have to eliminate them all if we want to survive." American Son snapped.

The crowd of heroes and villains was divided at that time, between those who were willing to do anything to live another day before what seemed to be a possible end of the human race, and those who still had doubts and refused to murder their friends, family and colleagues, as there was a possibility that Iron Heart had lied only to demoralize Majestia.

"Whatever happens, guys, you do what you can." Tom said. "Watch each other's backs and above all, like Harry said, don't hold back. Whoever they've been in the past and the old rivalries that may have existed between us can't get in the way if we want to have even a slim chance of survival, so don't give them the chance to kill you, or worse, infect you."

"So be very careful, don't let them bite you or scratch you." Said American Son.

"K.A.R.E.N., start setting up the teams and prepare the jets for deployment." Majestia said.

"Right away..." Spider-Man's AI replied in an uncharacteristically dry tone.

While the crowd started splitting up in the groups that K.A.R.E.N. had chosen, and headed for the airstrip of the Helicarrier, Firestar, American Son, Majestia, Twilight and Tom noticed K.A.R.E.N.'s mood and walked up to her to check how she was doing.

"Are you okay?" Firestar asked.

"Well, now that you ask, I'm feeling like shit. And how the fuck would I not? My dad just ate my mom and Aunt May, and now, instead of looking for a cure to help him, I'm helping you guys to kill him." K.A.R.E.N. said angrily. "And now lemme ask you, Angelica... What in the motherfucking name of hell made you think that was a good question?"

"Ok, that's enough. I'm very sorry, K.A.R.E.N., but it's for the common good." Twilight snapped. "We know how you're feeling, but you heard Majestia..."

"I know what she said and I know that Lisa Loud was a monster and an idiot, something tells me that what she said about this shit not having a cure was just a lie."

"I would like it to be so, but even if you were right, I've seen and felt the atrocities which they're capable of." Majestia said as she looked at her stump. "Trust me, you're not the only one who goes through this feeling of pain and frustration because there's no other way out."

"But you must understand that they're no longer our friends, not after what Jackie and Marco did to Star." Tom said crudely. "They are horrible monsters that must be eliminated as soon as possible to stop them from spreading further."

"Especially Ladybug..." Hawk Moth growled as he and the Green Goblin walked towards the group. "Marinette Dupain-Cheng has taken my son from me even though she vowed never to hurt him, and I will wipe her off the face of the Earth even if it is the last thing I do."

"You're gonna stick to the damn plan, especially you, father. If someone is going to stop Peter and Marinette, it will be me." American Son snapped as he slammed the Green Goblin against the wall. "You guys are so stupid that surely you two'd end up monologing and giving them a chance to eat you or infect you."

"Whatever you want, Harold, we both know that you don't have the guts to do what's due and I'll have to kill Spider-Man once and for all." The Green Goblin laughed.

"It's nice to see that everyone is still in the mood to chat in these conditions and under these circumstances, but we must act now." Said Lola Loud, alias Bunnix, as she sighed and approached her older sister.

"Why don't you just use your power to fix everything? You know, break Richards' neck before he becomes Mr. Fantastic and prevent Iron Heart from being born, so none of this would be happening." Said Firestar.

"Because that'd be too dangerous." Sunset Shimmer, aka Mindscape, said. "Whether we like it or not, and although they've now revealed themselves as a couple of villains, Richards and Loud made substantial contributions to the timeline, without them there would be no Fantastic Four nor Full House Gang, and without those groups, there's no timeline as we know it, which'd cause a paradox that would end up sending our entire universe, including the past, present and future, to hell."

"I really hate it when you're right..." Rainbow Dash, aka Wonderbolt, said as she sighed.

"And I had already tried, but there are certain events that are immovable, even for me." Bunnix sighed.

"Anyway, time to go." Twilight Sparkle, aka Midnight, snapped. "Lola, you, your twin and the other children are gonna stay in the Helicarrier until the rest of us come back."

"We can't just stay here doing nothing! Not when it was Lisa's fault that all of this happened!" Said Lana Loud, aka Monkey-Maniac. "And it's not fair! Lucy's going with you guys too!"

"You are definitely not ready for this, and we're literally not gonna let you guys see what's going on down there." Majestia snapped. "Lucy's coming because... well, because she is Lucy, she has seen unspeakable horrors before."

"The transports and quinjets are ready, you must go now, I'll take care of the twins." Said K.A.R.E.N.

"Alright, guys, and insane old men." Majestia said, gesturing at Hawk Moth and the Green Goblin. "Time to save the world. And remember, under no circumstances hesitate or hold back, because they won't, let me be a reminder myself of what happens if you hesitate or hold back."

The heroes around Majestia scattered as K.A.R.E.N. blocked the way to the Loud twins, who could only watch helplessly as their four remaining sisters joined the group that sought to save the human race from extinction, even when the possibility was practically nil.

(October 31, 2016 [Local calendar] - 05:45 hours from initial infection - Mission clock of the Resistance - Location: Canterlot High School, Equestria, Ohio, United States of America)

Things were very bad.

The once vibrant and lively city of Equestria lay in ruins, gnawed and dismembered corpses everywhere, and the last remains of civilian population were trying to flee from what they called "the pink monster."

Inside Canterlot High, we see a group of people, made up of three adults and the Crusaders Scootaloo, Sweetie Belle and Apple Bloom, barricaded in the music room, having blocked the doors and windows as much as possible with desks, chairs, and blackboards, and had improvised weapons to try to defend themselves with brooms, sticks, classroom instruments and others, while the young Sweetie Belle watched the news broadcast by J3 Communications on her cell phone, presented by the ill-tempered owner of the company, J. Jonah Jameson.

"... In other news, we have just received reports of a massive mobilization of superhumans led by S.H.I.E.L.D. that seeks to contain the infection and protect those of us who still remain safe and sound. We will keep you informed of developments as we receive more information." Jameson said with an unusual worried face. "Meanwhile, I urge the population to remain calm and seek refuge where possible, and if possible, have a weapon at hand and aim at the junction between the skull and the spinal cord, not at the head given that we have confirmation that they can survive even with serious head injuries..."

At that moment, there was a bloodcurdling cry from a woman, then quite a hustle and finally, a glass was broken by an object that fell on Jameson's desk, something that left the man with the mustache horrified.

"J. Jonah Jameson... I'm really gonna enjoy this..." An off-camera voice chuckled.

"Spider-Man! I always knew that you'd end up turning into a monster!" Jameson said.

"Or maybe all that shit you've been saying about me finally fed me up and it's time to give you what you deserve..."

With that said, Spider-Man leapt onto Jameson and knocked him down, ripping through his flesh with terrifying ease and devouring him as his screams of agony were caught on camera.

After a few seconds, Sweetie Belle turned off her cell phone and put it in her pocket, hugging her legs tightly and trying to forget Jameson's screams and all the horror that was going on, like having seen how Pinkie Pie broke Snips and Snails's skulls to eat their brains.

"Everything will be fine, Sweetie Belle, you'll see." Apple Bloom said in an attempt to comfort her friend.

"It's all over, Apple Bloom, no matter what, we're dead." Scootaloo sighed in defeat. "We are nothing but sardines in a can waiting for someone to open it to eat them..."

"Zip it." Growled a scruffy-looking man with long hair and a padlock beard, and who was wearing a leather vest and ripped jeans. "Leave pessimism aside, or at least keep it to yourself."

"We'll be fine, we just have to wait for S.H.I.E.L.D. come for us." Said a blond man who wore a beige jacket.

- Don't hope, Ethan, Daryl is right, the only thing we can do is keep our pessimism to ourselves. - A man who wore a long-sleeved blue shirt and brown pants sighed.

"Don't help so much, Ash ..." Daryl growled.

"My sister will come, I just know, she's a superheroine and she will save us all." Sweetie Belle said, trying to convince herself more than the others.

"Face it, Sweetie Belle, most likely you no longer have a sister... Just as Mr. Winters no longer has a wife or daughter, or Dixon a family, or the S-mart guy..." Scootaloo tried to say before she received a punch to the face.

The purple-haired girl fell to the ground and could feel a slight copper taste in her mouth, then she turned and saw Daryl holding Apple Bloom by her arm, while she cried and glared at her.

"Stop that pessimistic bullshit, Scootaloo! We already have enough with the situation we are living to have to endure your fucking depression...!" Apple Bloom yelled before Daryl covered her mouth with his hand.

"Shut up if you don't want her to discover us." Daryl said before looking at Ethan. "Did she get her attention?

"Apparently not... But thanks to the purple-haired one now I'm panicking..." Ethan admitted after looking through a crack in the covered window. "First those weirdos from Louisiana and now this shit... Seriously, fuck whoever's behind all this..."

Suddenly, the doors were slammed by something outside, causing Daryl to let go of Apple Bloom and rush to grab the crossbow on a table, pointing it threateningly toward the door as the Crusaders ran to hide behind the adults.

Ethan and Ash quickly raised a pair of makeshift spears with a pair of broomsticks, unable to help but feel stupidly useless as they remembered they were about to take on super-powered zombies using a few simple sticks.

Daryl's finger twitched on his trigger as he clenched his teeth at another blow against the door.

"Come on... I'm not goin' down without a fight..." Daryl said.

"How much can we fight monsters with superpowers?" Ash asked.

"Enough for the little ones to escape." Ethan said with a hint of courage.

"This ain't the time to play hero and you know it, Winters..." Daryl said.

The pounding against the door intensified and became more frequent, causing the hearts of the six to skip and race with each pound.

Then finally the barricade gave way and the door slammed open, and the adults raised their weapons to attack, however, before doing so, the three noticed that the ones who broke down the door were just a group of Canterlot students, accompanied by a blond, blue-eyed police officer, who immediately aimed a shotgun at Ethan, Ash, and Daryl.

"Put down your weapons and stay away from the girls." The officer ordered.

"I know it looks bad, officer, but we were just trying to protect them." Ethan said as he dropped his spear and raised his hands in surrender.

"We found them wandering around the supermarket where I work." Ash added.

"And as you may have realized, being out there and alone is exactly the same as suicide." Daryl said as he reluctantly put his crossbow on the ground.

The officer inspected the men, then looked at the girls and noted that they were definitely not being held against their will, judging by the way they sought refuge behind the adults, then he softened his expression and lowered his weapon as the group of students entered the classroom, consisting of Derpy, Bulk Biceps, Trixie and Wallflower Blush.

"Officer Leon S. Kennedy." Said the officer as he closed the door and began to raise the barricade again. "Equestria Police Department."

"Yeah, we can tell." Daryl sighed as he picked up his weapon. "Thank you for possibly drawing the pink one's attention..."

"We're looking for survivors." The officer stated as Ethan started to put the barricade back into place.

"Yeah, and the only thing you'll get doing that is to attract the attention of the infected ones." Ash snapped as he rushed to help Ethan.

"That's what we told Bulk Biceps, but he insisted on breaking down the door." Trixie said.

"Stay alert then, because they could come at any moment..." Daryl said.

At that moment, a diamond-shaped magic shield pierced through the window with terrifying ease and hit Bulk Biceps right on the head, slicing off the top and pinning it to the wall as the young bodybuilder's body fell lifelessly to the ground with a thud before everyone's astonished gaze.

After that, the Crusaders let out a cry of horror and turned away from the window, hiding behind Ethan, Ash and Daryl again, just before the window was blown to pieces and three figures approached the hole in the wall, being the infected heroines Sarah Fox, Diamond Shield and the pink monster, Party Blast, better known as Pinkamena Diane Pie, who was toying with a jar of sugar sprinkles in her hand.

"Thanks for opening the can of sardines, dear..." Diamond Shield said as she licked her teeth, cutting her tongue due to the rotting of her body. "Sweetie Bell, darling, come here and let me eat you..."

"Enough talk, Rarity..." Sarah said as she hissed and showed her fangs. "I want the blond guy..."

"Eeenie meenie miney mo..." Pinkie said in her usual cheerful tone, but with a hint of malice as she pointed to the humans randomly. "Eat the others, 'cuz Trixie's flesh I own..."

Faced with the threat, Daryl raised his crossbow and fired it at Party Blast, piercing her skull right in the middle of her forehead, however, Pinkie Pie just laughed and removed the arrow from her head with ease.

"That wasn't nice..." Pinkie Pie giggled as she snapped the arrow like a twig.

"Sonuvabitch..." Daryl growled as he reloaded his weapon.

"Hasta luego." Said Leon before firing the shotgun at the infected girls.

Diamond Shield laughed and raised a shield in front of her fellow zombies, who giggled at the officer's pathetic attempt to stop them.

"Enough games..." Sarah said before running towards Leon.

The infected vampire hissed and used her superhuman speed to approach the police officer, then she bent the barrel of the shotgun as if it was made of rubber, and lifted him by the neck.

"Time to eat..."

Before Sarah could bring her jaws closer to Officer Kennedy, a bluish blur entered through the hole in the wall without being stopped or even noticed by Party Blast and Diamond Shield, and broke Sarah's arm with alarming ease, followed by a kick to the stomach that drove the infected woman away from the policeman, who got the remains of the vampire's arm off his neck as he gasped heavily to recover the oxygen he had lost.

Before Pinkie and Rarity pounced on the newcomer Wonderbolt, a pair of hands grabbed them by the collars of their clothes and threw them away from the place, causing them to crash onto the pavement.

After that, Applejack, clad in her Orchard Strength magic suit, and Erica Jones entered through the hole in the wall, analyzed the situation for a second, and ran to kick the barricade Ethan and Ash had tried to put back on the door.

"Over here!" Shouted Orchard Strength.

Daryl and Ethan quickly carried Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle in their arms, while Apple Bloom ran after her sister, then the three heroines and the group of uninfected humans ran through the corridors of Canterlot School, trying to escape the infected heroines, while Daryl noticed that Ash had brought the shotgun that Sarah had bent.

"Why did you bring that?!" Daryl snapped at Ash.

"It could be useful!" Ash said as he shrugged.

"Run and don't stop! Those three are not the only infected ones in the place and the others could use dimensional scissors!" Erica said.

The humans simply ran after the heroines, while behind them they could still hear the infected running after them.

Suddenly, the humans and the heroines began to hear explosions left and right, so Wonderbolt stopped for a moment, let everyone pass her and began to vibrate her hands at high speed, creating a powerful wind current, which she threw at the corridor, destroying everything in its path and returning the blast of the explosion towards its cause.

The infected heroines hissed in response to the rush of wind that returned the explosion Pinkie Pie had caused, then Sarah and Pinkie dove into a couple of rooms to escape the flames, but sadly Rarity wasn't so lucky and ended up in the middle of them.

Rarity's screams of agony soon filled the halls of Canterlot High, causing Rainbow Dash to wince at what she had just done and then she headed back toward the exit.

Once in the school parking lot, the group encountered two S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, a red-haired woman and a black-haired man, and curiously enough, their IDs read "C. REDFIELD."

"Take 'em to the Quinjet, we'll distract Pinkie and Sarah!" Applejack ordered. "We'll meet up with y'all as soon as we're done with them..."

"And if we don't arrive in 5 minutes, it means that either they converted us or they killed us." Erica said.

"Got it." Said the man while he made a gesture to the civilians. "Over here..."

The civilians nodded and began to run after the agents, however a magical shield was fired at them, managing to elude Applejack, Rainbow Dash and Erica.

The diamond-shaped shield sped up and hit Ash, missing the kill but managing to sever half of his right forearm, causing him to drop the shotgun to clutch at his stump as he screamed in agony.

The agents quickly turned around and unholstered their blasters, firing several shots, all of which hit a shield created by Diamond Shield, who was looking at the group with an expression of pure hatred, revealing that she was bald and that the entire front of her body was now charred, and with some parts exposing live muscle to the elements with flakes of burned skin still peeling off as Rarity panted furiously.

"I WILL KILL YOU ALL FOR THIS OUTRAGE, RAINBOW DASH!" Diamond Shield roared.

After saying that, the infected girl pointed her arm at Wallflower, causing the girl to clutch her stomach in pain, then Rarity opened her hand and before anyone could do anything, a shield expanded inside Wallflower until it split her from the inside, dividing her body and causing both halves to fall to the ground with a thud, exposing the inside of her body.

Wonderbolt tried to lunge at Diamond Shield to knock her out, but Sarah jumped on top of her and knocked her down, trying to subdue her but with her missing arm, even her vampire strength couldn't do much before Erica grabbed her by the blouse and threw her at Rarity, who created a shield in front of her to cover herself, causing Sarah to break her leg as she collided badly with the shield.

However, to Erica's bad luck, someone else knocked her down and tried to bite her, quickly being identified by the vampire as her ex-friend Rory Keaner.

"Get off me!" Erica roared as she struggled with the infected vampire. "Leave, now!"

"Get them out of here!" Said the male agent.

"We'll try to hold them off!" Said the woman.

"That wasn't the plan!" Wonderbolt snapped.

"You can protect them better than us! Go!"

Rory just roared and continued to struggle with Erica, while the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents opened fire on Rarity with their blasters, causing Wonderbolt and Orchard Strength to snarl and turn around, starting to run and leading the group of survivors away from the area, with Scootaloo picking up Ash's shotgun and the heroines praying that Erica and the Redfields could survive even for a few minutes.

Once they were far enough away, Wonderbolt and Orchard Strength stopped and managed to seal Ash's wound with bio-foam and stop the bleeding with a tourniquet.

"That should keep you alive..." Applejack said. "Dash, take the civilians to the Quinjet. I'll get the Redfields and Erica, if I'm not there in five minutes, leave without me."

"No, Applejack!" Apple Bloom said as she clung to her sister with a hug. "You can't go! I have no one left!"

"I gotta do it, sugarcube. Applejack sighed as she hugged her little sister. "It's what heroes do."

"Be careful." Wonderbolt said.

"You too."

Rainbow Dash nodded and picked Scootaloo on her back while Ethan and Trixie did the same with Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle, at the same time that officer Kennedy drew his pistol and with Daryl he took the rear to cover the group, then they all ran out of there in a hurry.

On the other hand, Applejack adjusted her gloves and ran back to the fight against the infected heroines, hoping to get there before something bad happened.

To her misfortune, the farmer heard a pair of deafening screams, which urged her to run even faster, filling her head with false hopes of being able to save Erica and the Redfield siblings.

Arriving back at the scene, Applejack gasped as she saw that Erica was now lying on the ground, practically in pieces, with Pinkie, Rory, Rarity, and Sarah devouring her corpse, as well as no sign of the Redfields.

Without saying a word, Applejack uprooted a tree and hurled it at the infected, managing to hit Rory and Sarah squarely, impaling the former directly in the heart with one of the branches, causing him to disintegrate with an agonized scream, while Sarah screamed in pain from being impaled by the branches in various places on her body.

After this, the country girl raised a car, using it as a shield against a rain of explosive sugar sprinkles that Pinkie threw, then without thinking, she jumped as high as she could, dodging a shield that almost cut her in half still with the car in her hands and threw it at her attackers, who took cover behind a magical shield, saving themselves from the explosion as pieces of the car flew everywhere, some of them reaching Sarah, sticking in her right arm and eye.

Sarah's screams only made Applejack feel worse than she already felt for having to attack and kill her friends, however, Majestia had been clear: Those who had been infected were no longer their friends and they had to be eliminated to end that nightmare.

Upon landing, Applejack growled and charged at her ex-friends, dodging Rarity's shields and Pinkie's candies, reaching out to land two powerful punches to their chins, decapitating Rarity on the spot and sending Pinkie flying backwards.

Almost immediately, Pinkie got up and threw a cupcake at Applejack, causing it to explode right in front of her and knocking the farm girl backwards.

Still refusing to be defeated, Applejack quickly got up and dodged several cookies that Pinkie had thrown with such force that they were more like shurikens as they stuck to the ground.

And after that, the country girl heard a whistle that made her turn over her shoulder and see the Redfield siblings, still alive but with a couple of visible wounds on her shoulder and leg, although none seemed like a bite or scratch.

As she saw them, Orchard Strength smiled and looked at Party Blast.

"Time for a little trick I learned from someone else..." Orchard Strength said.

"Funny you mention that, I was just about to say the same…" Party Blast chuckled as she pulled out what seemed to be a pair of katanas made of some kind of candy, from her back.

Orchard Strength was shocked for a moment, however, she ignored her shock and clapped her hands with all her might, causing an extremely strong shockwave that sent Party Blast backwards along with Diamond Shield's body and head.

With that done, Orchard Strength ran over to the Redfields, picked them up easily onto her shoulders, and ran off, only to have to stop almost immediately.

(Meanwhile)

Wonderbolt and the group of survivors were on the outskirts of Equestria, having finally made it to the Quinjet, where the rainbow-haired girl quickly initiated the engine start sequence and made sure Ash got a quick checkup to make sure he'd make it to the Helicarrier alive, then turned around and tried to get out of the Quinjet to return to Orchard Strength, but Scootaloo latched onto her leg and stopped her.

"Don't go, please, Rainbow Dash..." Scootaloo asked. "AJ... AJ must be dead by now..."

"Don't say that about my sister or I'll kill you, Scootaloo!" Shouted an angry and hurt Apple Bloom while Daryl stopped her.

"Calm down both of you!" Wonderbolt yelled. "The Quinjet will take you guys to the Helicarrier, you'll be safe there, I must go get Applejack, and if Scootaloo is really right, I will tell you..."

"I don't want the same thing to happen to you..." Scootaloo said with tears in her eyes.

"I'm afraid it's a possibility, Scootaloo, that's why you must survive." Wonderbolt said as she took Scootaloo and sat her down, then turned his gaze to Ethan and Officer Kennedy. "You two are in charge now, make sure the Quinjet reaches the Helicarrier safely."

"I don't know how to fly this thing." Said both blonds.

"The Great and Powerful Trixie does." Trixie said as she sat in the pilot's seat. "MJ and Adrien taught her last summer."

"Okay, be careful, Trixie. K.A.R.E.N.'ll be watching you, just stay alert at the gun controls."

At that moment, as Trixie began the lift-off sequence, Leon sighed and looked at the survivors, making up his mind to protect them at any cost upon seeing the determined expression on the teenage heroine's face, so he simply sat in the copilot seat and tried to get used to the shooting console.

After this, the rainbow-haired girl jumped from the Quinjet as it took off and headed for the Helicarrier, leaving Wonderbolt feeling worried and scared.

She had never paid much attention to things like religion, however, in those moments that could very well be her last, she couldn't help but beg any higher being to listen to her, to please allow her to live, or at least let her save Orchard Strength, as only half of her friends were still alive.

'I failed Pinkie, Rarity and Fluttershy... I can't fail Applejack too...' Wonderbolt thought.

With that said, the girl ran off in a hurry, making her way through the streets to Canterlot High in a few seconds, however, a few streets before she got there, Wonderbolt heard a roar approaching her and, before she knew it, someone punched her in the face and made her do an unceremonious frontflip, roll on the ground and end up crashing face-first into a car, getting a couple of cuts on her face as she broke its window.

Knowing that she didn't have time to recover, for without a doubt the one who had attacked her was a speedster too, Wonderbolt jumped up, narrowly avoiding Alix Kubdel, better known as Splitsecond, who slammed her face into the door of the car that Wonderbolt had crashed into.

"The virus is slowing you down, Alix, you're supposed to be faster than me." Wonderbolt said as she tore off a sleeve to wipe her face clean.

At the words of the rainbow-haired, Splitsecond just laughed mischievously and stood up, leaving her face literally stamped on the car door and turned to Wonderbolt, who had to suppress the urge to vomit at the sight of the other speedster's putrefying face, because the virus had advanced so much in her that her blood was coagulated and gave off a pungent odor of decomposition.

"You're still slower than me, Dash..." Splitsecond growled. "And for that... I will devour you..."

Saying that, Splitsecond jumped up and tried to pounce on Wonderbolt again, but Wonderbolt simply dodged her and grabbed her by the clothes, taking advantage of the momentum of the pink-haired girl's lunge, spinning several times to throw her against the wall with such a force that it completely shattered her body, killing her instantly and creating a disgusting stain on the wall.

Wonderbolt fought the urge to throw up back, not only because of how disgusting the remains left by Alix's body looked, but more because of having had to kill her, since she had gotten to know the speedster very well and forge a friendship/rivalry with her.

However, after hearing a Thunderclap nearby, Wonderbolt distracted her attention long enough for him to forget what had happened and snap back to reality, reminding herself of what she was doing.

Immediately, Wonderbolt ran back to Canterlot High, arriving in an instant, but to her misfortune, upon arrival, she received a nasty surprise.

On the other hand, Orchard Strength coughed loudly as something cold passed through her torso, piercing her heart and making her mouth fill with the taste of copper.

And while her vision was blurring and her grip on the Redfields began to falter, the farmer heard a scream and, before falling to the ground, someone grabbed her in her arms and said things to her that she could no longer understand just before everything went black.

In turn, Wonderbolt let out a cry of horror as she not only saw one of Party Blast's candy katanas piercing through Orchard Strength's chest, but also she has gotten several drops of her blood on her face, and as the girl and the Redfields fell to the ground, Wonderbolt ran towards her and caught her, trying to think of a way to keep her alive, though from the farmer's lost expression, she knew it wasn't going to be possible.

"Applejack, please hold on!" Wonderbolt pleaded with his dying friend. "I'll take you to the Helicarrier! You'll be fine! Just hang on...!"

The green-eyed blonde simply exhaled her last breath and smiled slightly as her eyes glazed over and her body went completely still, causing Wonderbolt to gasp in horror as tears welled up in her eyes.

"Applejack! Applejack, please don't go...!" Wonderbolt cried as she held Applejack's lifeless body close to her. "Not you too...! Please...!"

"It's a shame that everything had to end like this..." Party Blast said with a sinister smile. "Anyway... it's time to eat..."

At the words of the infected heroine, something inside Wonderbolt snapped and made her see everything red, then she placed Applejack's body carefully on the ground and took her hat to put it on, looking at Party Blast with killer rage as she stood up.

But before the speedster could attack, a couple of blurs jumped on the Redfields and took them away with screams that soon died down, however, Wonderbolt ran after the other two speedsters, finding Speed Demon and Quicksilver devouring the remains of the agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Before either of the speedsters could do anything, Wonderbolt ran at Speed Demon, knocked him down with a kick, and before he hit the ground, she grabbed his leg and dragged him behind her as she ran at full speed, smashing the infected into the ground, cars, walls, poles, ripping the sprinter's body to pieces and finally throwing what was left of his leg into the woods.

After that, she ran back to Quicksilver and dodged a lunge from him, grabbing him by the hair and then slamming him to the ground to start running, eroding the body of the infected mutant and leaving a disgusting trail across the city until only a part of the speedster's skull remained, still hanging by the hair from Wonderbolt's hand.

The speedster dropped the last fragment of Quicksilver's body and adjusted Applejack's hat, then ran back to Canterlot High and kicked Party Blast away from Applejack's corpse, seeking at all costs to prevent the infected from tarnishing her body.

Then she saw that Diamond Shield's head was on the ground and she ran to kick it like a soccer ball, destroying it instantly and, finally, she turned to face Party Blast, who gulped hard and took a step back in fear.

"You're not Pinkie Pie…" Wonderbolt said as she squeezed her knuckles until they bled. "You killed Applejack, you infected Rarity and you two ate Fluttershy... You killed my friend Pinkie... And for all this, on behalf of my fallen friends and all those who are still fighting... I'm gonna kill you..."

At that moment, Party Blast growled and gritted her teeth at her, and before she could do anything, Wonderbolt hit her in the stomach with all her might, sending her backwards.

Then the speedster tried the same move she had used on Quicksilver, grabbing the pink-haired girl by the hair, but Party Blast reacted in time, elbowing her in the face and spinning kick away from her, then pulled out her candy katana and stood on guard to fight.

Faced with Party Blast's actions, Wonderbolt simply adjusted her hat again and ran with all her might, punching the infected in the stomach, managing to make her cough up some coagulated blood and end up crashing into the wall several meters behind her.

The infected growled and hurled her katana at Wonderbolt, who simply dodged and slammed her fist against the blade, shattering it and causing its handle to fall to the ground. After that, Party Blast again threw several cookies with all her might, but Wonderbolt just dodged them with the same amazing ease.

Party Blast growled and pulled all kinds of sweets, candies, and pastries out of her hair, running around Wonderbolt and throwing the items she pulled out, trying to hurt her, however, the rainbow-haired girl just chuckled and watched with derision as all the weapons and the infected's attacks were totally useless against her.

"Are you seriously planning to kill me like that? Just randomly throwing things much slower than me?" Asked Wonderbolt ironically.

"No... but it seems you forgot what my skills are, Dashie..." Party Blast said before smiling devilishly.

While Wonderbolt was still wondering what the infected was referring to, Party Blast snapped her fingers and a powerful explosion occurred around the speedster, thanks to all the candy that the infected girl had thrown, launching the rainbow-haired heroine into the air and leaving her extremely stunned.

Still, as she began to fall to the ground from the explosions, Wonderbolt heard a blood-curdling laugh, then opened her eyes and the last thing she saw was Party Blast literally grinning from ear to ear as she wielded a giant mallet made of chocolate, which she used to hit her as hard as she could on the head, making everything go black for her.

(October 31, 2016 [Local Calendar] - 15:00 hours from initial infection - Zombie Avengers mission clock - Location: Unknown)

Darkness, cold, numbness and pain.

When she woke up, she could only see darkness, so much so that she couldn't even tell if her eyes were open or closed; she could not move more than her fingers and even that weighed heavily on her; and more importantly, she felt a stabbing pain on the side of her head.

Slowly, Wonderbolt regained energy and the sensation of her in her limbs, however, when she tried to move, she discovered that there were several straps binding her to a surface, preventing her from moving beyond wriggling to try to free herself from it.

Little by little, Wonderbolt regained her memory and began to hyperventilate, trying to use her powers to break free, however, she was soon stopped by a knife that stabbed right next to her face and a blinding light came on at the same time as a rotten stench invaded her nose.

"Hello, Dashie..." Said a voice that made the heroine shiver.

Wonderbolt's eyes quickly adjusted to the light, but he wished they hadn't as all she saw was each and every one of the infected, all with their lips ripped off and showing rows of crooked, yellowed teeth, as well as decomposing bodies with fallen or ripped off limbs, as well as wounds from their previous battles to feed on, and obviously staring at her and licking their teeth in anticipation of devouring her.

The worst thing for her though was seeing Pinkie standing in front of her in a bloodied nurse's outfit and fiddling with a table on wheels that had all kinds of sharp instruments, some rusty and blunt, and others that gleamed like new, although all of them with dried blood stains.

"This is your time to pay... This is your judgment day... We made a sacrifice... And now we're gonna take your life..." Pinkie sang as she took a chainsaw and turned it on. "We shoot without a gun... We'll take on anyone... It's really nothing new... It's a thing we like to do..."

Without warning, Pinkie Pie lowered the chainsaw onto Wonderbolt's right leg, and Wonderbolt screamed in agony as she felt the chainsaw slowly cut through her flesh, shattering her femur and causing her leg to fall to the ground with a thud, all while Pinkie sang happily.-

"YOU BETTER GET READY TO DIE! GET READY TO DIE!"

After that, Pinkie took her friend's leg and bit it, tasting the flesh and making Wonderbolt shed a tear, knowing that she would die in the worst possible way, being cut into pieces by the zombies and devoured by them, all while she was tied to a table without being able to free herself or do anything other than witness her cruel fate.

"Just... kill me... please..." Wonderbolt begged.

"Don't worry, Dashie, you won't die today..." Pinkie said. "Besides, we're almost out of food, so we have to ration everything we have, right, Leni?"

"True, Pinkie, although thanks to Dash we don't have to share as much as we did anymore..." Style Queen said as she turned her arm into a kind of short plank. "Not that we like that you killed Rarity and Alix, but we do like that you killed Speed Demon and Quicksilver..."

With that, Style Queen made her plank-shaped arm turn red-hot, and once in that state, she pressed it against the bleeding stump of Wonderbolt's right leg, causing the girl to let out a scream of agony again, as her raw flesh was cauterized, however the worst part of all was what Leni and Pinkie had said.

She wasn't going to die quickly like her other friends.

She was going to be slowly torn apart and turned into food for the zombies in front of her.

And while the poor girl cried helplessly at the impossibility of escaping her fate, Pinkie Pie took out a knife and began to cut Rainbow Dash's leg with her typical culinary mastery, then she took a tray of cupcakes out of the oven and took some pieces of Rainbow's leg to put them on top of the cupcakes, after which the infected baker smiled, took one of the cupcakes and put the whole thing in her mouth, licking her lips and fingers while moaning with pleasure as she chewed.

"Oh, my..." Pinkie said. "These have to be the best cupcakes I have ever made, and I have made thousands and they were all delicious."

"I still don't understand how you manage to eat cakes, none of us can stand anything other than meat..." Ladybug said as she took a piece of Rainbow's leg to devour. "But I have to admit, Rainbow is definitely juicier than Adrien... Although Adrien was more delicious and sweeter..."

"Indeed, the good thing is that thanks to you, Rainbow, we will have a supply of meat while we begin our greatest heist…" Spider-Man said.

With that said, the infected turned to look towards a holo-table, where Rainbow Dash could glimpse with her blurry vision that in the background were the gnawed corpses of Streak, Chat Noir, Queen Bee, Tom Lucitor, and Orchard Strength hanging off hooks as if they were cattle in a slaughterhouse.

But the worst was seeing a holographic model of the Damocles Base, which made her gasp in surprise.

'Please, guys...Finish the plan and leave before they get to you…' Begged Rainbow Dash in her mind before the blood loss and pain made her pass out again.
