A sound like a horn went off and the four saw something run away out of sight across the room. They all froze as they listened in on the sounds.

"Did yall see that? Please tell me yall didn't see that." Applebloom muttered.

"Isaac, what was that?" Sweetiebelle asked.

"I have no godly idea." He replied slowly.

"Who cares? It's food and with their speed, they could be really dangerous if I got one of them!" Scootaloo piped up rubbing her fore-hooves together.

"Didn't you just eat?" Isaac asked.

"That was like... An hour ago. Wait, listen... They stopped."

All the sounds, except for the four’s breathing, had simply stopped.

"Now this is creepy. Be careful and watch the corners." He said taking out a Pulse rifle.

One by one they went down the elevator. When they were all down they went left but stopped as they saw the back of a creature run away.

"Let's get through the damn doors quickly. These things are faster than anything I've seen." Isaac said running to the doors.

Only to be knocked back as something rammed into the other side breaking it.

"I don't have a good feeling about this." Sweetiebelle said as she heard more of the creatures. "Not at all."

"Hey, we'll be ready. As long as were together, were unstoppable." Scootaloo said nudging her in the side.

"That's very... Noble of you scoot's." Isaac said.

"You called me-watch out!"

She pushed him out of the way as a Necromorph ran out of cover with a loud screech and ran at Isaac. She fired off a saw blade and cut its legs off.

And then it started to crawl.

She picked it up and threw it up to the ceiling as Sweetiebelle shot it three times with the Seeker rifle.

"I'm guessing we know what they are now. They’re going to be hard to kill, that's for sure." Isaac said getting back up.

Another screech was heard and another creature came running. It swerved to the sides as it went from cover to cover dodging every shot.

"How are we supposed to hit it if we can't even hit it!?" Sweetiebelle yelled.

"Maybe there’s something we can use to stop them?" Isaac suggested.

She looked around and saw only used Javelins. She looked to her right and a devious idea formed in her head.

"Hey Scottaloo!" She yelled as a creature came running at them.

"What!?" She yelled back trying to get a lucky shot.

"I think those things have spiders on them! Look they do!"

"What!?" She yelled.

"What!?" Yelled Isaac already seeing her tentacle move towards him.

She picked him up and swatted the creature aside letting her two friends kill it. She repeated the process as she ran out to chase the Necromorph's using Isaac the whole time as a hammer.

She finally dropped Isaac and had a hoof over her small chest.

"Owww..." Isaac groaned.

"Isaac! Are you alright!? Speak to me!" Scootaloo yelled holding him by the shoulders.

"Damn you Sweetiebelle... Damn all of your imaginary spiders." He groaned getting up wobbly. "I feel a little sick." He opened his helmet and went around a corner to throw up.

"Sweetiebelle! I could have hurt him!" Scootaloo yelled.

"Well we need to get rid of those things! And none of us could even get off one shot! What was I supposed to do?"

"Good point. Isaac! Are you alright buddy?"

"I am now. I really hate spiders now myself... They bring pain. Lots of pain." He said.

Applebloom stuck out her hoof and let the small line guide her to a panel hanging on the wall. She motioned for Scootaloo to come over; as soon as she did she tore the panel off and went to work.

"Hey, Isaac!" Scootaloo called out looking away from the screen while still working. "About the spider thing. I just-"

"It's all in the past. Just let it go and use Sweetiebelle for once." He said clutching his stomach.

"Hey! I was trying to save our lives!" She shot back defensively.

"I said once. It's not like I said to use you as a weapon for the rest of the time."

"Done! Alright everypony, get on." Scootaloo said getting on the elevator.

They all got on the elevator and were stepping off. Three of them froze as a Stalker came out and stopped in front of them. They all just looked to see Scootaloo who was running up to it to ride on its back.

Halfway up, Sweetiebelle stopped the elevator.

"Listen, Isaac. I really am sorry; I can take it if you're mad at me."

"I'm not mad, I'm just sore."

"Ok... Hey I just realized something."

"What?"

"Scootaloo could have just torn the door off and used that to keep those things away, instead she used you."

All of them thought for a moment and the sound of small tinks of metal hitting metal was heard before they continued up.

"That things looks a bit like a bird. Don't it?" Applebloom asked looking to the Stalker.

Scootaloo peered over the head of it and scrunched up her face.

"An ugly one. Cool beak though, it matches with the little eyes and its ribs sticking out." She replied.

"Just keep that thing away from me or else I'll Kentucky fry it." Isaac said opening the door ahead.

They walked along in silence, aside from the occasional squawk from the Stalker. They proceeded to the next door and proceeded through, scootaloo and Isaac in the front for protection.

"Looks like there was a funeral here." Isaac said looking at the casket. "Look for bodies that have blades and wait for the rest of us."

They gave a nod and half way across the room, the Swarm started to fall from the ceiling.

Isaac immediately ran behind the crusaders as he saw Scootaloo moving to grab anything nearby.

Which, coincidentally, happened to be Sweetiebelle.

"Sweetie! Shoot them!" Scootaloo yelled raising her friend into the air.

She took out her contact beam and started to fire away, but only managing to kill a few at a time.

Soon she was dragged across the floor in one solid swipe and then used as a hammer twice before being set down.

"Sweetiebelle, are you alright?" Isaac asked walking over.

"I'm not alright, I'm Sweetiebelle." She groaned smiling lazily before getting a smack in the back of the head by Scootaloo. "Ow... That didn't feel very good at all." She said rubbing her head.

"Hey Applebloom, you're turns next." Isaac said making Applebloom walk behind him.

"Not if ah'm behind all of yall." She said.

After giving a quick laugh and Sweetiebelle throwing up from dizziness, they all went to go through the door in the back of the room. After killing the hidden Necromorph the human, fillies and Stalker proceeded in.

The elevator ride was short, as was the walk down the ramp; but inside the room and the doors ahead was horrifying.

The station morgue.

There were some pods broken but most of them were still intact.

The first step Applebloom made, sent herself, Isaac and Scootaloo screaming.

Sweetiebelle just stared in fear as she saw them all fire at the row of tubes, and then stop.

"Isaac, why did all the... Bodies start movin' and the lights turn red?" Applebloom asked reloading.

"What did you just say!?" Isaac and Scootaloo nearly yelled at her.

"Why were the bodies movin'? They weren't Necromorph's, were they?"

"Dammit... She's got it too now. Sweetiebelle, I have a job for you." Isaac said motioning her over.

"Got what? What do I have!?" Applebloom cried, her voice cracking at the end of the sentence.

Sweetiebelle went over to Isaac, they removed their helmets and he whispered something into her ear that made her start to cry and run up to hug her friend.

Applebloom pushed her away gently before looking at Isaac.

"I'm sorry... I really am." He said. "You've got what me and Scootaloo have."

She hugged Sweetiebelle and buried her eyes into her mane as Sweetie cried alongside her.

"Am I gonna die?" Applebloom asked through her friend’s mane.

"If you start to see symbols, then you should be alright for now. How the hell did you get it through? The Marker only affect ones like this when they've... You haven’t lost and family or friends that were close, have you?"

"My parents went when I was a foal. Why?"

"If you see them, do not follow them. Sweetiebelle, if she starts to wander then stop her. By any means necessary."

"Hey, Applebloom." Scootaloo said getting her attention. "Do you want to ride the Stalker for now?"

Her ears perked up slightly and she gave a small smile and nod before climbing on the monstrosity.

"Looks like all you needed was a little pick-me-up. Come on; let's go before I start seeing my great uncle Herbert... That guy was still creepy, even in the casket." Isaac said the last part under his breath.

The second room was clear, the third as well, the forth only had a Puker that Sweetiebelle turned to Swiss on sight. The fifth room was larger than the others; there were more tubes and corners. After finishing off five Necromorph's they proceeded to the last pair of doors.

"Finally, it was getting cold in there." Isaac said dusting off some ice chips.

"Where are we now?" Applebloom asked.

"It looks like the main part of the church. I already have a feeling this is going to suck."

"I'm sure nothin' will happen." Applebloom said waving a hoof at him.

He took a step ahead of the stairs on his sides and down came another tripod, grabbing him and at the same time trying to spear his head off.

"You were so horribly wrong!" Isaac yelled.
