"Applejack!" Rainbow shouted. It was so close, they were already there. Her and Twilight had made it to the door, but Applejack was still out there... with them. The zombie horde had surrounded her, clawing away mercilessly.
"Y'all are gunna have ta' go on with out me!" Applejack shouted as she tried to push them away. After the words left her mouth she was immediately sprayed in the face with some sorta goop, making it hard for her to see. With that a loud roar sounded out from the horde and triple the amount of zombies from before came out from every nook or cranny nearby. They rounded on Applejack taking her down with them.
Rainbow Dash and Twilight could only watch from behind the door as their friend was eaten alive. As they watched, Rainbow silently reached her hoof out to hold onto Twilight's in a tight grasp. They would just have to keep moving... for Applejack.

They had been travelling for awhile now, they had their way through a swamp and then a zombie filled carnival. They nearly got crushed by a roller coaster as they ran along the tracks from zombies. Though they were almost there, they had made it to the bridge.
"Keep moving Twilight keep moving!" Rainbow shouted as she blasted away zombies. She held a silver shotgun while Twilight was down to an axe.
"I'm trying Rainbow, i'm out of ammo though!" Twilight shouted back as the two of them fought their way through the crowds of zombies.
"Hee yah!" Twilight yelled, striking one of the zombies heads off with her axe.
The pushed on getting weaker and weaker as they ran into more zombies. As many as they killed there seemed to be at-least twice as many to replace them. The two ponies were crossing a very large bridge at the quickest pace they could manage. As Twilight was distracted bashing zombies she barely noticed Rainbow getting attacked.
A very long circular tongue was wrapped around her marefriends throat pulling her away, on the other end was a lanky zombie standing on one of the bridge towers. Twilight fought through the horde to reach her marefriend. Rainbow couldn't break out of this zombie's tongue grasp and she was dragged through the horde, getting slashed mercilessly as it happened. As she neared her captor, the tongue had started to bend vertically since the zombie was on higher ground.
Rainbow was dragged backwards and then upwards as the tongue pulled harder. She was hoisted up into the air like piƱata as the tongue began cutting off her oxygen. She hung there kicking her legs as the tongue choked her. Twilight was able to force her way through the horde to Rainbow and managed to jump up while simultaneously swinging her axe to break the tongue. Rainbow dropped down for a second coughing and wheezing from loss of oxygen. Twilight stood by her side knocking them away from her as Rainbow recovered....
they continued onwards.

They had made it through most of the hotel but Twilight was down, after being tackled by a gargantuan zombie with one large arm she was too weak to keep going. Rainbow had killed the large one and attempted to help her marefriend up, but the other zombies were relentless. Never giving her enough time to help her up.
"Rainbow just go! Leave me!" Twilight yelled, Rainbow angrily shot one of the zombies way after it was dead, frustrated.
"Twi I can't leave you!" Rainbow shouted back.
"Rainbow please! For me..." Twilight said, causing Rainbow's features to soften. After most of the zombies were cleared, Rainbow saw her opening and began pushing towards it to escape. Something in Rainbow stopped her though and she whipped around immediately to face Twilight.
"Twilight I... I love you" Rainbow stated numbly. Twilight smiled back at her despite the zombies surrounding them.
"I love you too Rainbow.. now g-" Twilight was cut off by goopy green acid landing down on her. The acid spread out on the floor around her, burning her with it's corrosive properties as the zombies were unaffected by it. A lanky zombie stood nearby, that same green acid dripping from its mouth.
"AAAHHHHH!" Twilight screamed, as the acid burnt her. Rainbow could only watch, heartbroken, as the life left Twilight's eyes. Rainbow grinded her teeth as she turned towards the horde.
She charged forward with her shotgun blasting zombies left and right. One, two, three, four, five, six, she was going at it like a machine, a killing machine. Zombies dropped left and right and as they did Rainbow could see just how close she was to the safe room. A large metallic door, perfectly capable of stopping any zombie threat. She was going to make it, for Twilight!
As soon as hope had found it's way to Rainbow, a VERY large muscular zombie had stepped right in her path. It roared loudly, it's voice carrying far above all the others. Rainbow could only watch in horror as this pure force of destruction smashed every zombie as it made its way to her. As it finally got right in front of her, she could gawk up at it as it towered over her.
"Oh sweet Celestia..." she muttered before being slammed with a gigantic hand flinger her across the room into a wall. Just as Rainbow managed to recover this hulking mass of a creature had managed to rip a large amount of floor and earth out from under him and throw it towards Rainbow. She could only watch as the boulder collided with her.... ending the game.
"Oh what the buck! We were so close!" Rainbow shouted, tossing her controller on the ground as she abruptly stood up from the couch . The sound echoed through out the large crystal castle room. The TV merely taunted her with a Game Over message as she scowled at it. Everypony in the room just looked at her, shocked. It was the girls' Friday movie/game night which had practically become a requirement with Twilight being so busy being a princess all the time.
"Rainbow! Watch your language Spikes in the room" Twilight informed her. Rainbow turned to her marefriend with a sheepish grin, but as she did her ears perked up on Applejack laughing. There were three couches all rotated slightly to be facing the TV. Applejack and Twilight on the middle one turned to look at Applejack on the one to the left.
"What's so funny?" Rainbow asked angrily.
"You Sugarcube! You and yer' dramatics" Applejack said. Then her voice turned into the most feminine tone she could manage with her next sentence "oh Twahlight, I love you!" Applejack mocked, making Rainbow blush slightly.
"Yeah well at-least I didn't die in the first level" Rainbow argued.
"Well Hay, at-least I was dead so I was spared from hearin' yer sappiness" Applejack countered, only furthering Rainbow's blush.
"I thought it was sweet, even though it was just a game" Fluttershy meekly said. All eyes turned to Fluttershy who sat on the couch to the right alongside Spike.
"Thank you Fluttershy, I agree" Twilight added, as she pulled Rainbow back on the couch, nuzzling the grumpy pegasus simultaneously.
This only caused Spike to wave a hoof at her. "Nah, it was lame" he said, much to the irritation of Twilight.
"I have to agree with Spikey Wikey on this one, I saw it as a tad too much as well" Rarity stated as her and Pinkie Pie entered the room. They had just returned from the kitchen with bowls of popcorn and other snacks.
Twilight just looked back at Rarity skeptically. "Really, so suddenly you're not one for dramatics?" Twilight asked with a smirk. Rarity simply turned her head with a hmph!
"Who cares anyways, its snack time!" Pinkie shouted as she bounced in to hand out the treats. Everyone happily accepted their snacks as Pinkie sat by Applejack and Rarity found herself a spot in-between Fluttershy and Spike. As Rainbow went to devour her brownie she heard noises from the TV.
"Hang on, is the game not over yet?" Rainbow asked, looking towards the TV. In the game one pony character was still there, she had managed to cram herself into a small closet in the safe room. Rainbow angrily turned towards Fluttershy.
"Fluttershy!? You didn't even leave the safe room?" Rainbow asked, Fluttershy quickly hid behind her mane.
"Sorry.. I was um... too scared to leave..." Fluttershy muttered, followed by Rainbow sighing dramatically while facehoofing.
"It's quite alright Fluttershy, i'm not one for violent games like these either. Speaking of which do you think we can all watch something a little less.. ergh.. gore filled?" Rarity asked looking to Rainbow.
"I'm gettin' sick of gore too" Applejack said.
"Me three!" Pinkie said.
"What do we have Rainbow? cause I'm not really in the mood for anymore violent stuff either" Twilight asked as Rainbow made her way over to some of the discs they had. She picked up the only two other discs they had left. She nervously looked at them, to the ponies, and back to the discs.
"Um.. we've also got.. uh.. The Trotting Dead.. and uh.. Mane of Thrones..." Rainbow weakly said much to the dismay of everypony in the room, some even facehoofing.
"Awesome!" Spike called out, earning him plenty of annoyed glares.
