"So do you have any friends back home?" Isaac asked stomping on a box.

"Sure! There's Twi, my sis, RD, Fluttershy, Rarity, Dinky And Alexander, but he prefers Alex." Applebloom said.

"This might be an odd question but... Alexander wouldn't happen to be human too, would he?"

"He was until the princess turned him into an alicorn."

"Does he usually carry around a big hammer? Where black and white armor and have insane strength?"

"Yeah, do ya know him?"

"He helped me during the first outbreak aboard the Ishimura. Me and him were unstoppable, I shot them to bits while he just tore them apart. If I had a choice to fight a horde of Necromorph's or him I would choose the Necromorph's every time."

"That scary huh?"

"Scary no. Terrifying as hell, yes."

Isaac and the others went through a set of doors and the crusaders went to look out a window but before they could another ship crashed into the station severely cracking the glass and knocking them to the flanks.

"We shouldn't mess with that window." Isaac said getting glares from the crusaders.

"What gave ya that idea?" Applebloom asked rubbing her sore flank.

"Don't get moody with me; I have enough women problems as it is."

"We thought ya were a girl." She nodded along with the other two crusaders in acknowledgement.

"... What?" He just stared at them.

"Ya said yall were havin' girl problems."

"I'm not a girl. It's just my dead girlfriend is trying to kill me."

They all gave him questioning looks before Scootaloo started to whistle the universal "Coo-coo" symbol making her friends laugh.

"If you’re done insulting the evil dead, can we go?"

"Sure, just watch out for that necro right there." Applebloom said before firing two shots at a unseen corpse which identified itself to be a Necromorph.

"Good eye. Sweetiebelle you have some competition."

The filly mentioned rolled her eyes before pointing her javelin gun to the side while still looking at Isaac with a bored expression before firing. She managed to stick a Leaper to the wall.

"Never mind... Let's keep moving."

They walked past the boxes and large T.V. and as soon as Isaac got to the door.

"Are you serious? Now of all times you pick a damn quarantine!" He yelled to the door.

A milk curdling moan echoed out from the vents and soon a bubbling noise accompanied by three Necromorph's with glowing sacs on their left arms.

"Aim for the yellow." Isaac said aiming at the one in the middle.

Before he shot a small bolt of plasma discharged from Applebloom's Plasma cutter. He looked down and she gave him a nod.

"Power has been restored." A speaker announced.

They all quickly went over to the door and opened it to run ahead so it won’t open again.

Isaac froze in place for a little while just staring at a screen about Cassini towers. The crusaders took notice and stopped to look at him.

"What wrong with him?" Applebloom asked.

"How should I know?" Sweetiebelle said.

He started to walk forward and bumped into Scootaloo who had a glazed over look on her face as she followed him. They both went up to the top of the ramp and stared at an empty seat before Isaac took out his Plasma cutter and took off the top just as a flaming train sped by.

They both wobbled for a second and looked at each other with shock in their eyes.

"You saw her too?" Isaac asked fear in his voice.

"Y-Yeah... what was she? Who was she?" Scootaloo asked.

"My woman problem."

"What happened to you two? You both just went blank and Isaac went nuts on the chair." Sweetiebelle said.

"I'm afraid she's got my little condition." Isaac said sadly.

"W-What condition?" Scootaloo asked.

"My lethal dementia. Now we need to hurry or else me and her will die. Her for real this time."

"Ow... my head hurts." Scootaloo said rubbing her forehead.

"It gets better." Isaac said.

"Really?"

"No, it stays the same, but that's the good part."

"What makes it bad then?"

"It’s still killing you. Now come on, I see a train over there."

He started to walk towards the train and when he got to the doors an Infector dropped from the vent and started to turn a body. Isaac raised his gun at the entrance where he was level with the Infector.

The doors opened and it came crawling out; it barely made it one step out before a barrage of plasma hit it, killing it. The Necromorph inside charged him and he cut off its arms, he walked over to the Necromorph and smacked it's head off.

"Trains here, all aboard!" He called like a old ticket collector.

The crusaders ran in, Applebloom last making sure that they were alone.

Isaac and the others went to the front of the train and there they found a loose panel. Scootaloo ran ahead of Isaac and pulled it off where after she started to hack. In seconds the train's engine whirred to life and they felt themselves lurch back.

"Good job kid." Isaac said before getting a face full of black smoke.

He waved his arms around frantically before he hit something solid. He looked and saw a scroll laying on the floor. He picked it up and started to read, some parts making his eyes widen underneath his helmet and others bring back memories.

"What does it say?" Applebloom asked.

"It’s from Alex, he's telling me about the new necro’s here and some one's I hope we don't meet as far as his description goes."

"Hey Isaac, does this thing go to the government sector?" Sweetiebelle asked.

"No, it goes to Hogwarts." He replied sarcastically.

"Really? Wait... Where’s Hogwarts?"

"It doesn't exist. But yes, it does go to the government section."

He went ahead and went through the first pair of doors, the crusaders in tow and when the doors closed some of the windows busted open.

They came face to face to muzzle with a Puker.

Isaac cut off its head and an arm. It was still standing so Scootaloo grabbed it and let it scrape against the outside all until only its legs remained.

They went to the next set of doors to reveal the other section of the train moving ahead.

"I guess we need to jump." Isaac said before throwing himself out.

The other crusader gave each other looks of uncertainty before they jumped out too. They quickly caught up to Isaac and soon they were halfway to the other bit.

One of the doors came loose and nicked Isaac sending him slightly back before he regained his stature and threw on the boosters.

A second door came loose and Isaac was going too fast to avoid it. He closed his eyes and waited for the impact.

And waited.

And waited.

He opened his eyes to see the door went harmlessly over him. He chuckled at the close call before speeding up to the train. He grabbed hold of a bar and pulled himself to safety. He stuck out a hand to help the crusaders on.

They were falling behind and they looked to be getting slower.

"Come on! I won’t be able to get you over if you can’t get near me!" He yelled.

"We don’t know how to speed up!" Sweetiebelle yelled.

"Just jump!"

"What!?"

"Jump!"

They all looked at each other before trying to jump and as soon as they did they rocketed into Isaac sending him to the back of the train.

"Shiiiiiiiit!" Isaac yelled going through the doors.

They watched, screaming as they went by Necromorph's hanging on trying to stab them as they went along. They saw an opening and Isaac got his ankle caught on a cable while the crusaders fell down.

"My leg!" Applebloom cried as she held her ankle.

"Don't worry about the leg! We've got bigger fish to fry! Watch out!" Isaac yelled firing at a half-slasher or crawler.

Reluctantly all three turned to see a horde of different necro's coming in their direction.

They quickly finished them off and as they did a Brute came up above Isaac knocking him free. He shot momentarily before a piece of the track fell down and he watched as the train started to fall. He got up, grabbed Applebloom and started to run with her friends in pursuit. He ran a good distance until the train exploded sending out a shock wave making him fall. He turned at the last second so he would land on his back instead of Applebloom.

"You’re a big pain in the ass, you know that?" He chuckled making her laugh a little before wincing at the pain.

"Ah think my leg is broken." She cried.

"Let me see." He asked.

She showed her front left hoof which was twisted the wrong way.

"Don't worry; it's just a twisted ankle."

She blew out a sigh of relief. "Thanks, but that was my firin' hoof."

"Just use the other."

"Ah can't walk then."

"... Oh. Why don't you let me carry you, or one of your friends?"

"I got her." Scootaloo said changing into her taller form and placing Applebloom on her back.

"Let's go, and Applebloom, when you're hoof starts to feel better just tell me, ok?"

"Alright. eww! Scootaloo, what did ya eat?" Applebloom asked waving her good hoof in front of her helmet.

"You try eating three souls in one day and see what that does to you!" She argued.

"Girls!" Isaac yelled.

"What!?" They all yelled back.

"Can we go? Quietly?" He asked.

They all nodded before following him up a ramp and to a door.

They opened it and they all saw a shadow on the wall, it was a childlike shadow only it had claws on it.

"Fuck, it’s the Pack." Isaac rhymed without knowing.
