The Trotting Dead RP

[Milk Wave 454]

Lady glared at Ghost, her eyes began to burn bright blue flames. "Come here Ghost, my friend wants to say "hello"." She then suddenly became engulfed in semi-transparent blue flames. She then lunged at Ghost and cut a long gash along his side and landed gracefully behind him. As she landed she regained her old self as her pupils once again returned to her big blue eyes and she collapsed. The flames disappeard and the sword dropped to the floor.

What the..

 

The sight Zeta saw in front of him was insane. How could Lady attack like that and have blue flames coming from her body? But anyways, he ignored that fact for now and watched as the train automatically slowed down at the train station.

The metal gates slid open as the train entered with both cars being just able to fit. There was some ponies with guns that awaited them all when they got out.

 

But before he would, Zeta picked Lady back up and carried her on his back, holding both of her front hooves to make sure she stayed on while walking off the train.

 

He was greeted by a pony who looked at him with a smile. And his fancy suit symbolized he meant something to this city.

And without hesitation, he bowed.

"Greetings to all of you! My name is Fancy Pants, owner and manager of our great city Trottingham. When I saw the train pull in at first, I didn't know what to think so I came down here. And surprisingly, more ponies showed up!"

Ghost puts on his mask and walks up to Zeta's side to greet this fancy pony. "Nice to meet you! I go by The Ghost. I believe you go by Fancy Pants? It's nice to meet the manager of the city right off the bat." Ghost offers his hoof to Fancy Pants. He looked very fit to be running a big city like this.

( HOLD UP YALL, i think we need to just take a minute and reread the last 6 or so posts, because we are all over the place. Pretty sure Ghsot is supposed to be shanked, and i just tackled an unconcious Lady to the ground. we might need to back this up for a sec)

[The Ponyville Critic 304]

Trottingham was massive, the giant wall around the city adding even more to it's size.

"May i ask, Fancy Pants? Do you know of anyone called Missy Starlight." Fire Horn asked. "I've been trying to find her ever since the outbreak, she's my fiancé" Fire Horn stepped completely out of the train.

(Alright, yeah. Back the buck up, everybody. Let's rewind to a point where Lady lets go of the possessed sword and Ghost is lying on the ground. If not, then you tell me where we should rewind to. Because, yeah. Right now, it's kind of a mess. *Repeating rewind sound*)

((I agree. Everyone is doing something different and we are forgetting important details like that long gash in Ghost's side. Also, I don't think Fancy Pants would be that welcoming. Who's to say we are trustworthy ponies? They don't know us. Plus, a trotter could have stumbled upon the train and started it up on accident. Fancy Pants would have lost a face if that were the case.))

[Grand_Finale 529]

(okay, ill restart first with my tackling the buck outta Lady them)

Grand Ran into Lady full force and pinned her to the ground. "What the BUCK are you doing?!?" she screeched, holding Lady firmly in place. it seems she had become unconcious, but Grand kept her hooves firmly planted on her shoulders. " Gho-errr, Stephan, are you alright?" she said, without releasing Lady

[Geek0zoid 1,468]

(Alright. Rewinding to the point where Lady slashes Ghost. *Rewind sound effect*)

Ghost is lying on the ground with blood coming out of his side. Just what he needed. His leg just healed from the wound Zycrin gave him, and now he has one in his side to take it's place. He was breathing heavily. "I've been better!"

(( I was trying to make it pretty interesting in a way. And considering he had about 12 ponies armed that were behind him, there was a good chance that he wouldn't be attacked. But if you want, I can revise it for you.. Also, rewind for Zeta ))

 

All he could do was watch as the whole battle took place right beside him. There wasn't much he could do afterward, so he left them be until something had happened.

 

Just don't kill Paint, please..

 

While the fight was going on, the train had pulled into Trottingham, slowing down at the gates and stopping at the train station. The train was barely able to fit when the gates closed, which was convenient.

Tempest finished the song and noticed the train had arrived in Trottingham. "I might as well go tell the others." He thought, while entering the train. He then noticed the fight and sighed as his aura surrounded him. "Break it up, or I will use force." He yelled in a tone that would rival the Canterlot voice

[Grand_Finale 529]

Grand made sure Lady was unconcious before stepping off her, but grabbed a nearby piece of rope and tied her hooves up. she ran over to Stephan "Dammit" she whispered, grabbing a blanket and putting pressure on the wound. Josh had been in a deep sleep, and didnt seem like he would be waking up anytime soon. she tied the blanket tightly around his waist, and she hoped it would stop the bleeding for a little while. luckily the cut wasnt very deep

((Fair enough. But I would appreciate it if you did revise that.))

 

Lady opened her eyes to nothing but blackness all around. "Hello?!" She called out. No answer.... "HELLO?!" She screamed louder. Greetings Lady, it's your friend. "Friend....?" She repeated fairly confused. Yes... I'm afraid once you regain consciousness it will be the last time you remember any pony. You will be my puppet. I advise you to say your final farewells. And with that, Lady woke up breathing heavy. "Grand?? Why are you pinning me down?!"

Breathing heavily, Ghost smiled at Grand, even though he was in sheer agony. "Great... just what I need before we enter the big city" Ghost slowly gets up and keeps the blanket around his torso, keeping the cut from bleeding out. "I'm still going into Trottingham. A little cut isn't gonna stop me."

[Grand_Finale 529]

Grand whipped her head and glaerd at Lady. " dont play that innocent crap with me, we all saw what you did!"she realized it was the first time real anger was clearly evident in her voice. she returned to trying to help Stephan. she had no experience with wounds, and was only trying to do what she had seen Josh do

Zeta's head jerked at Lady when he heard her voice. Tears were rolling down his eyes, but he never bothered to wipe them off and limped to Lady.

"Paint, Paint!!"

He pushed away Grand and fell onto his knees, hugging her tightly. "What has gotten into you? You're making me worried like no tomorrow.."

 

At that time, the doors swung open as a stallion with a submachine gun came in. He noticed the group of ponies and aimed his gun at them. "Halt! Do not move unless you want to be shot by me."

Following the pony were a few more that crowded around him to make sure no trotters could sneak up anywhere near them. The one facing the group soon yelled out again.

"Everypony, out now!"

"Everypony, out now!"

"I...I don't know." She answered. "But, this voice keeps speaking to me... It told me something in a dream. Something about goodbyes and a puppet." Her mind was still sinning from the previous event. "Why would I worry you...? What happened to Ghost?!" She fretted.

 

((Makin' my OC's~~))

[Drago Ryder 641]

Tempest glanced at the new pony and sighed. He then exited the car, but his aura still surrounded him. "Might I ask who you are?" He asked. The cyan pegesus wasn't exactly keen on following any authority, unless it was needed.

 

Dark woke up and jumped off the train car, landing beside Tempest.

[Grand_Finale 529]

Grand hobbled out, making sure Stephan was okay to walk on his own first. then again, sje wasnt in the best condition to support a fully grown stallion. she passed by the guard without flinching. she had alot worse happen to her than having a gun pointed at her head. " I would think some survivors would get a better welcome" she said with her snout turned up. She wasnt in the mood to deal with these uppity ponies

[Geek0zoid 1,468]

Ghost secretly slipped on his mask and then walked up to the armed pony soldiers. He knew that it was probably a stupid move, but he didn't need to be shot on top of having a large cut on his side. "Please do not shoot. We mean no harm to you or your civilians. We just came to look for a few missing families and maybe some supplies."

((Makin' my OC's~~))

"Y-you cut Ghost with that sword.." Zeta responded. His body started to shake a bit after hearing what Lady said about goodbyes. "You're changing, Paint. And that sword is causing you to do so! Don't you understand!?"

 

Zeta was tearing up even more, but one of the guards put a gun to his head and forced him to leave. Since Lady's hoof was also injured, he decided to carry her on their way out of the train.

The main soldier of the 5 just grunted every time and pointed to the door, waiting for everyone to get out. (im assuming Josh would passively come along since we don't want to leave him)

Once they were out and the train was checked, the main soldier walked back and faced all of them. "Has anypony been bit by a trotter? And don't try to lie to us, or we'll shoot you down just like the last pony who tried to."

[Grand_Finale 529]

Grand looked at the rest of the group, unsure how to answer the question. "No, none of them have been bitten. But i lost my leg because I had been bitten. I am positive we caught it in time" she said, deciding it was best to tell them now, rather than hiding it. she assumed they would be running some tests on her anyways

[Geek0zoid 1,468]

"Nope. No one has been infected or bitten. I did get a bad cut on my side that I'm trying to keep from bleeding out, though. Hopefully that doesn't count..." Every time Ghost took a step, he staggered a little bit. This cut wouldn't stop him, though. He had to find Grand and Fire Horn's families. And, if he was lucky, his brother.

[Drago Ryder 641]

Tempest's arua flared as he drew his swords."I doubt that." He said. "I would've sensed if anypony had been turned into a trotter. Everypony here is uninfected." 

 

Dark glanced at Tempest and backed up slightly. She almost knew where this would be headed, and it wasn't exactly pretty.

 Lady had a look of shock in her eyes, "I did what?! Ghost... I'm soooo sorry!" Lady apologized. What was happening to her...? Why was it happening to her??

The soldiers quickly pointed all their guns at Tempest, aiming everywhere on his body. "Put your weapons down now! We are not trying to harm you, but we do believe that you are not infected.. Except one."

 

The main soldier pointed at Grand. "You there, with 3 legs. We need to take you to the test room. Any of you are allowed to come in, but only under constant supervision."

 

--

 

Zeta wiped the last of his tears off his face and let Lady down to apologize to Ghost. Still worried about her dearly and decided that if she were to go to the test lab with Grand, then he would follow closely behind.
