My Little Pony Day Z is Magic

By RioGascar

A/N Well after many hours of thinking this one through I've decided to add Spike to the story. He will have a origin story after Fluttershy's is explained. Well I'm already going to pony hell so no regrets now.

Oh yeah and I just remembered I forgot something.

WELCOME TO CHERNARUS MOTHER BUCKER

Rarity's Start

The last thing I remember was sitting in my Boutique when I hear the sounds of hooves running past my door rapidly. Thinking they might be customers I rushed to the window and peered out into the street. It was only the CMC as they were dashing to the town center where Mayor Mare's celebration will be held. I stopped looking out the window and returned to my work on the new design I was making. Next thing I know I'm waking up with my face in sand. I jump up from the sand and wipe the sand out of my Beautiful mane. I then look around my surroundings and see a large factory to my left and what seems to be a port that would house boats. Thinking I somehow washed up here by some strange means I might as well go to the port to get some assistance. As I'm walking I look around myself and see that my Horn is gone! I tried my best not to panic.

"MY HORN IS GONE THIS CAN NOT HAPPEN THIS IS TERRIBLE HOW WILL I SURVIVE WITHOUT MY HORN!"

I fall down on the ground when I should have landed on my couch, but then I remembered that I don't have any magic. I get up from the ground after my "little" episode and pull myself together.


As I near the port I see some ponies outside of the houses walking around in circles. I think to myself they are probably just watering their plants or something. That’s perfectly normal for a pony to do. As I get closer doubts creep in my head of these ponies that are running into walls over and over again. I decided to hide in a small dirty bush... on second thought I'll just slowly walk to them and see if they are ok.

"Um excuse me sir, but would you happen to know where I can find someone to sail me back home to Equestria?"

The pony did nothing but gurgle and moan as it stared at the wall. Feeling impatient I decided to tap the ponys shoulder to get his attention. He turned to face me and his mouth opened up as he tried to bite me. I slapped him away to no avail as he bite my mane. I then punched him in the face so hard I thought I had broken my hoof as I rubbed it softly. I looked back at my attacker and saw he was on the ground knocked clean out. The rest of the ponies turned to look at me and went into a sprint. Not wanting to wait to see what the rest will do I sprinted off into the forest and did not look back.


After running for Celestia knows how long I stop to catch my breath. I sit down and try to put together where I am and how I will get back to Equestria. While I’m doing so I hear a twig snap and I heard a voice that sounded all to familiar.

"Keep it down Spot we don't want the whining one to hear us"

I tried to pretend I did not hear them as I slowly backed away into the forest, but as I was walking I was suddenly grabbed by the mouth and pulled next to tree. I felt like screaming until I saw it was Spike holding a shotgun in his claws.


"Rarity keep it down do want them to hear us?" Spike said he readied his shotgun and clicked the safety off.

"Spike what are you doing here and why are you pointing your gun at them? You’re not seriously suggesting that we shoot them are you?" I said as lowered the gun and looked him in the eyes.

" We are playing Discord little game and as for not shooting them then what should we do Rarity these guys don't play nice they already tried to kill me and only missed by a few inches." spike said as he used his claws to show a few inches

"Maybe we could make a trade with them or a deal."

"Rarity I only have this shotgun and few shells and if we trade that they can just back stab us I'm not going to give them that chance though."

A loud sound then rang through my ears as a bullet ripped through the tree next to us.

"You see Rarity now they don't know I'm here so you are going to have to lure them out by telling them you surrender and I'll shoot them"

"Spike we don't have to do this there has to be a mature and adult way to handle this"

"Rarity now is not the time for your maturity speeches we have to do this or they will kill us now get out there and say you surrender" Spike said as he tried his best to keep voice down and readied the gun.

"Fine Spike I'll do this, but there has to be another way we just aren't thinking hard enough." I said as leaned out near the edge of the tree.

"I surrender you don't need to shoot anymore"

"Come out so we can get a better look at you and maybe we will spare your lives"

I stepped out from my cover and hoped Spike could hit them from his position. As I got closer to them I saw the Diamond Dogs were holding ropes.

"Now Spike” I said as I hit the dirt and waited for him to shoot them.

"Why is the whining pony lying on the ground? Oh I guess she thinks her friend can save her"

I turned around and saw one of the Diamond Dogs hold Spike as he tried, but failed to escape from his grasp.


They tied us up and took Spikes gun.

"Well guys what do you think we should do with them we could just kill them?"

"You could just kill us, but think about the bullets you would be wasting." Spike said hoping they might just leave them there.

"You have a point Dragon, but we can't just leave you to escape and maybe get revenge on us later down the line."

"You could just take all of our stuff and leave us for dead. There is no way we will survive out here." Spike said as he tried to use his fire breath to slowly burn through the rope.

"No we should just kill you now prepare to die” Spot said as he raised the gun to meet my face. I could see the bullet in the chamber and closed my eyes expecting death. I heard the gun fire, but as I slowly opened my eyes I saw spike holding a gun up to the rest of the Diamond Dogs while one was choking on his own blood as the bullet had ripped into his neck.

"Now leave or I'll kill you as well and leave your guns" Spike said with fire in his eyes as he pointed his gun at the Diamond Dogs as he used his fire breath to burn through my ropes.

I quickly got up and grabbed a gun as I pointed it at them trying to persuade them to leave peacefully so there will be no more bloodshed.

"Ok were are leaving, but can you at least put our brother out of his misery?"

I went up to him and pointed my gun at his head as he begged for me to end his life through his gurgled voice. I tried to pull the trigger, but I could not just kill a helpless victim as I lowered the gun and looked him in the eyes. He had died already, but I could have lessened the pain by ending him quicker. I walked back over to Spike and watched as the Diamond Dogs walked away into the forest.

"And don't come back or I'll kill all of you bastards" Spike yelled as he went to rummage through the Diamond Dogs camp for gear.

"Spike that was uncalled for and you have gotten out of control this time you aren't becoming greedy again are you?" I asked as I went to close the eyes of the dead dog.

"I'm not becoming greedy Rarity I'm trying to survive unlike you seem to be" Spike said as he grabbed a backpack and loaded it with food.

"Well we did not have to do that we could have found a peaceful solution to this" I said as stared at the dead dog that was starting to move.

"Um Spike I don't think he's dead"

"Oh crap I forgot get away from him Rarity he's not a normal dog anymore." Spike said as he loaded his gun and pointed it at the dog.

"What do you mean he's not a normal dog anymore" I said as I pushed the shotgun out of the way.

"I know it because when Cheerliee was with me we saw some zombies bite and kill a pony it came back now stand back while I kill it"

"You were with Cheerliee what happened to her?" I asked wondering why they were not traveling together anymore.

"She went her own separate way to find her students and I went to find you and the girls" Spike said half lying half telling the truth.

Spike fired the gun into the skull of the zombie just as he was getting up.

"Now Rarity grab everything you can we have to leave now or bandits will be here soon thanks to the sounds." Spike said as he threw a backpack at me and gave me some food and medical items to carry. I stuffed some bullets into the bag and we left the camp and not too long after heard the sound of gunfire.

"Told you Rarity now let's get to the city before it gets dark" Spike said as he looked at the compass telling him they were heading north.


After what felt like hours we had reached the edge of the forest with the city not far in the distance.

"Now if this city is anything like Electro we are going to have to take our time our we are going to die do you got it Rarity follow my lead." Spike said as he crept into a small apartment.

I followed in with him and the next thing I know I see spike backing up with a gun pointed at his face. I readied my gun and turned the safety off and aimed it at the door way as Spike backed up more and more hoping to give me a shot at the mystery attacker.

"Now you just turn around and leave dragon this is my territory and you have to pay a toll to leave it alive give me all you stuff in your backpack now or you die."

I saw the head was peeking out and closed my eyes as I pulled the trigger and heard the shot ring out. I heard the sound of metal hitting the ground and heard the body slump to the side of the wall.

"Rarity thanks for saving my life if it wasn't for you I would be dead right now" Spike thanked me as he picked up the dead ponies gun and checked the clip.

"Just as I thought he had fooled us he never had any bullets in his gun" Spike said as he went to loot the body.

"Spike have some respect for the dead leave his body alone" I said as I wiped the blood from my face.

"Rarity don't you get it if we don't do this we will not live to see the next day we can't be cutesy nice ponys anymore or this world will kill us and Discord will rule Equestria forever." Spike said as he finished looting the body and found only tin cans.

"What do you mean Discord will win is this some sort of sick twisted game?" I asked I looked into the city and saw a large building in the distance with a small twinkle at the top of it.

"Yes it is and what are you looking at... Rarity get ready to run" Spike said he quickly packed up all his things and grabbed my hoof.

"What why Spike what is that sparkle in the top of that hotel" I wondered as I followed him and darted down the street towards a church.

"That is either nothing but a spark from a dying light or the reflection of a sniper spotter I'm not taking the risk not help me get in the church doors open."

We pushed the doors with all our might, but it would not budge.

"Damnit hang on Rarity I’m going to try something dumb" He said as he readied his shotgun and pointed it at the door handle. Before he could fire the door swung open and spike was met with 2 barrels pointing at him.


"Spike Rarity that you quick get in here before that sniper gets you" Applejack said as she pulled me and Spike inside and shut the door.

"Can some pony please tell me what is going on and where exactly we are" I said as I looked around and saw that Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy were here as well. Fluttershy was crying in a corner and Rainbow Dash was sitting near the window keeping lookout for any pony.

"Well sugar cube it's going to take quite a while to explain this, but we have all the time in the world to spare" Applejack said as she went to reinforce the door.

"The basic gist is this Discord is back and wants all the ponies to play some game and we can't use magic or wings. That’s the short version do you want the long version?" Rainbow Dash said as she looked out the window into the streets.

"No I don't feel like hearing a long story so the short version is nice well what do we do now?" I asked as I went to unpack my backpack.

"Well the plan is to wait for Pinkie and Twi to get her then when its dark we leave the city that sniper probably can't see in the dark."
