June 27th, 2011 - Sweet Apple Acres Part 2

From Egs Mayhem

Summary

~NiteBrite: So, last time. We ended up in the future thanks to Sweetness's TARDIS driving. It materialized in the Apple Cellar. The apples were all rotten due to the amount of time that passed. Only Anthrax was there and she was malnourished. TripleCrown and MachDasher had disappeared for a while. So Anthrax tells the story of how this is Mach's fault and the heroism of Triplecrown.

MarissaInaba: (Everything is Mach's fault, really.)

Whiteout: (And we all feel terrible for them.)

SolidGear: (hehe....everything being Mach's fault makes people sorry for him?)

Whiteout: ( Nah, just Anthrax and Triple)

~NiteBrite: Dusty decides to go looking for the missing ponies. She catches the eye of a zombie pegasus while flying about. She knocks it out of the sky, but its loud fall awakens like 6 other pegasi zombies and an entire orchard of earth pony zombies

DustyFeathers: (It does if you're Dusty and everyone's like OMG Mach's so lame)

MarissaInaba: (I'm pretty sure everyone's reaction to Mach is "LET THE ZOMBIES HAVE HIM)

~NiteBrite: Dusty lands and deciding NOT to follow in Mach's example and leads the zombies off away from the cellar hideout. Well it turns out Sweetness had snuck away to help look for the missing ponies even though everypony told her not to go because she is too valuable as a TARDIS driver to leave. Dusty accidently leads the zombies right to Sweetness and she gets taken by the zombie pegasi. They out number our pegasi two to one so it looks like they are going to get away when suddenly. A large rock is hurled through the air and knocks out the zombie carrying sweetness. Dusty catches her and they escape while the mysterious pony asking him to come with them, but whoever he is says it’s too late forrrrrr him in a zombie like growl. It is implied this is Triplecrown. The rocks stop after a bit and the zombies regroup, but by now the others are all back hidden in the underground TARDIS. And so NB decides he's had enough running, it’s time to fight. Time to learn about NMM's weakness, and take the fight back to her arrival, before she has a chance to raise her army. And that’s the basics of the recap

Log

~NiteBrite: Alright, and Begins:

Sweetness: *pushes the blue button* *TARDIS makes noises then Jerks hard to the left*

Nod: dashes around confused as to what was going on

MarissaInaba: gah! *falls over*

~NiteBrite: *Falls onto the console turning on the radio: its rock music*

DustyFeathers: lands face first against the wall.

Sweetness: derps

DustyFeathers: Owww, mind out! There's a pony cleaning here!!

Sweetness: Hang on I got this. *flips a switch* and the flight smoothes out

Sweetness: There

~NiteBrite: So where are we this time?

MarissaInaba: @_@ *ended up in a heap and upside down*

DustyFeathers: slowly pulls herself off the wall and glides down to the other ponies.

Sweetness: You okay? *offers Marissa a hoof up*

MarissaInaba: Blugh. Yes please *she takes the hoof*

Sweetness: *helps up*

~NiteBrite: I'm gonna take a look outside

MarissaInaba: is up!

Nod: so can some one plaese tell me whats going on

Nod: was still very lost

DustyFeathers: Even with the amount of time I spent here cleaning, it seems like I've never done enough. Dusty pouted, looking around her.

~NiteBrite: *flips the door control* You're in the TARDIS, my sleepy friend

Narrator: *the door opens and there is nothing but darkness outside*

Nod: and what is a tardis?

MarissaInaba: Time machine.

DustyFeathers: peers outside the open door.

~NiteBrite: A... time mac. *is cut off by Marissa talking at the same time*

Narrator: *Only darkness out there*

Nod: but that ... how does ... *falls asleep due to confushion*

MarissaInaba: ._.

DustyFeathers: So........ How many zombies do you reckon will be out there?

MarissaInaba: Hopefully none.

~NiteBrite: *Shakes him* Hey you okay there, mr, uh you??

~NiteBrite: *nod^*

Nod: *nod wakes up* sorry that happens sometimes

Narrator: *there is ground outside, there is just no light at all to see

MarissaInaba: >:|

~NiteBrite: S'all right. A time machine isn't something you see every day after all

MarissaInaba: Bleh try not to randomly fall asleep at an inopportune time, okay?

Nod: i'll try

DustyFeathers: Poor love, he's probably finding this whole thing hard to take...

Sweetness: *offers nod a muffin from the back pack of muffins*

Sweetness: Don't worry, it'll be okay

Nod: *muttering* not like i can controle it anyway

MarissaInaba: Anyway. Anything out there?

Nod: *takes the muffen* thanks

~NiteBrite: I can't see anything out there, with these sunglasses

DustyFeathers: Absolute dark. We'll need torches to go on...

Sweetness: There are probably some lights around here somewhere

~NiteBrite: Maybe there are some in this closet? *opens a door*

Narrator: *behind the door is the room with a pool that Marrisa fell in earlier

~NiteBrite: Hubba wah?

MarissaInaba: Anyone got a flashlight? 'cause I checked earlier and I don't.

MarissaInaba: Also I think I lost my backpack at some point.

~NiteBrite: *closes door* Waits, *opens door again* We'll I'll be. There's a pool in there

DustyFeathers: That's nice dear, but unless that pool happens to be filled with waterproof torches, we can't do anything.

MarissaInaba: There must be SOMETHING somewhere in here.

Nod: *nod nibbles on his muffen*

Sweetness: Well If its just to see outside a little I can always, *hums and dances in place a little* and then you *Flips switch* and then *twists a thingy*

Sweetness: The light in the TARDIS gets really bright. Like a flood light. It provides some illumination of the surroundings

~NiteBrite: *Is okay with the new intense level of light because of sunglasses*

~NiteBrite: Ah, much better

Nod: well .... let there be light

DustyFeathers: Owwww, my eyes...

MarissaInaba: ()

Nod: slightly blinded

DustyFeathers: flies outside unware of how it's affected the surroundings

MarissaInaba: Well, that helps a bit.

Narrator: outside there are apples. lots of stacked apples

Narrator: and a roof

DustyFeathers: Ahh, that's better. I can see now...

DustyFeathers: opens her eyes.

Narrator: *the area looks to be underground*

~NiteBrite: Sooo, apples?

Nod: *nod sniffs the air with his eyes still closed* yep i smell apples

DustyFeathers: Oh, I really CAN see now! ....Hmm, could do with more scenic views...

~NiteBrite: *bites* Blech, rotted apples

MarissaInaba: Well, that sucks. I was hoping we'd found a food source.

~NiteBrite: Well its not like we can't ferment them into liquor or something?

weetness: You'll go blind 9_6

~NiteBrite: ...

~NiteBrite: Duly noted

Nod: we can usee the against the zompony if they come back

Sweetness: Sorry Dusty, the lights are turned up all the way

DustyFeathers: It's alright, at least I can see out here now...

DustyFeathers: slowly hovers forward as far as the light can show.

~NiteBrite: It looks like some sort of underground apple storage room. *knocks over a small stack of apples*

MarissaInaba: ._.

Nod: stumbles out of the TARDIS so he can open his eyes

Whiteout|fishing: ()

Narrator: There are some stairs just infront of dusty, but out of sight

DustyFeathers: pauses for a moment.

MarissaInaba: ()

DustyFeathers: Wait a second! Where did Whitey say those three ponies were?!

DustyFeathers: ()

MarissaInaba: ._.

Narrator: (())

MarissaInaba: Oh, crud, you have a point.

Whiteout|fishing: has been doing his best impression of a feathered ponyskin rug since the Tardis started bumping around.

~NiteBrite: Where? I wasn't paying attention. Too busy falling through the roof and all that

~NiteBrite: *doesn't remember where whitout said*

Whiteout: Mmm? They were hidin' in an apple cellar over by the orchards.

Narrator: *its now obvious they are in the apple cellar*

DustyFeathers: gasps with glee!

~NiteBrite: Oh hey, that must be here

DustyFeathers: Ohh~! I hope they're still here...

Sweetness: HELLO~ ANYPONY HOME

Sweetness: *calls loudly*

MarissaInaba: I hope the zombies haven't gotten to them.

Nod: *looks around* who ever is incharge realy needs to clean this place up

MarissaInaba: And they didn't starve to death.

[19:44] <MarissaInaba> Or anything else bad.

[19:44] <~NiteBrite> ...

[19:44] <~NiteBrite> Well it doesn't look like anypony's home

[19:45] * Whiteout picks himself up, straightening out feathers while heading to the doors. "They had a room full of decent apples, shouldn't have been a worry..." He trails off as he smells rotting apples.

[19:45] <~NiteBrite> Apples have gone sour. *tosses one to whiteout* Have a bite

[19:45] <MarissaInaba> ... Yeah, I think that something went down.

[19:46] <MarissaInaba> Also stop trying to feed him rotting apples.

[19:46] <Sweetness> Thats time travel for you

[19:46] <MarissaInaba> How far ahead are we?

[19:46] <~NiteBrite> But, but I had to taste one

[19:46] <~NiteBrite> :<

[19:46] * DustyFeathers has a sudden worried look on her face.

[19:46] <DustyFeathers> "We didn't LAND on them, did we?"

[19:46] * Whiteout shies away from the apple, then pushes out into the room. "Where would they have gone?"

[19:46] <Sweetness> O_O I I hope not!

[19:47] <MarissaInaba> Something tells me no one's been here for a while, wherever they may be.

[19:47] <Nod> may be therr at home sleeping

[19:47] * Nod trys to sound hopefull

[19:48] * Whiteout searches around the cellar for any signs of occupation.

[19:48] <~NiteBrite> So then you think they won't mind us taking their stuff? *turns on a flashlight he found by a hay bed*

[19:48] <MarissaInaba> Somehow I doubt that. *joins whiteout in searching the area*

[19:49] * DustyFeathers sighs and starts going towards the other side of the cellar.

[19:49] <Narrator> *Light shines on a very very pale looking Anthrax head sticking out of the hay pile*

[19:49] <Narrator> *Anthrax head has closed eyes*

[19:50] * DustyFeathers spots the filly's head and shrieks.

[19:50] <~NiteBrite> *GASPS Dropping the flashlight*

[19:50] <DustyFeathers> "Oh no... Nononononononono!!"

[19:50] <MarissaInaba> ._.

[19:50] * Nod eeps in suprise and hides

[19:50] <MarissaInaba> asdf stop screaming.

[19:51] <DustyFeathers> "B-But, Anthrax's head!!"

[19:51] * Whiteout moves over towards what he will assume is a buried pony. "Hey, Anthrax, you alright?"

[19:51] <MarissaInaba> Wait what.

[19:51] <~NiteBrite> H-hang on. hang on *get the light*

[19:51] <MarissaInaba> *heads over*

[19:51] <Anthrax> *eyes open*

[19:51] <Anthrax> Grrroan

[19:51] <MarissaInaba> ._.

[19:51] * DustyFeathers screams some more.

[19:51] <DustyFeathers> "PLEEEEASE say this is a joke!!"

[19:51] <Anthrax> W-who's there?

[19:52] <MarissaInaba> ohgodzombiewat *runs back to the TARDIS*

[19:52] <~NiteBrite> ZOMBIE~

[19:52] * Nod starts kicking apples at head

[19:52] <MarissaInaba> Apples: *they are rotten*

[19:52] <Anthrax> OW OW OW -Hay-sto-gross

[19:52] <MarissaInaba> Apples: *and thus are shitty projectile weapons*

[19:52] <DustyFeathers> "Oh... 'Who's there?'" Dusty starts to calm down.

[19:52] <DustyFeathers> "You mean you're NOT a zombie?!"

[19:53] <MarissaInaba> *pokes head out of TARDIS* Keep the zombie away from me!

[19:53] * Whiteout glares back over his shoulder at the others. "CUT THAT OUT!" He turns back to Anthrax. "Had to take the long way back. You alright?"

[19:53] <Anthrax> You came in my house, you introduce yourself

[19:53] <Anthrax> Whiteout? Is that you?

[19:53] <~NiteBrite> Not a zombie?

[19:53] * Nod shyly hides behind remaining apples

[19:54] <Nod> oops sorry

[19:54] <Whiteout> Last I checked, yeah. What happened here?

[19:54] <MarissaInaba> Wait... Oi! You!

[19:54] <DustyFeathers> "I'm so sorry, you just gave me a fright." Dusty humbled herself.

[19:54] <Anthrax> *looks closer* IT IS YOU! Where have you been *huggeth*

[19:54] * MarissaInaba trots up to Anthrax. "You totally ditched me to get eaten by zombies!"

[19:55] <MarissaInaba> >:|

[19:55] <Anthrax> "Its the end of the world and you're hung up on that?:

[19:55] <MarissaInaba> YOU LEFT ME TO GET EATEN BY ZOMBIES.

[19:55] <Anthrax> *cough cough*

[19:55] <Anthrax> *doesn't look well*

[19:56] * Whiteout is willing to return the hug while explaining. "I ran into these folks over by the school, and we got chased into that thing by a horde."

[19:56] <MarissaInaba> >:| Grrrrrrr... fine. You get time to recover. But YOU OWE ME.

[19:57] <Anthrax> *notices the TARDIS* What is that? How'd it get here?

[19:57] <DustyFeathers> "Are you alright, m'dear?" Dusty looked at her with concern.

[19:57] <MarissaInaba> It's a time machine.

[19:57] <Anthrax> Malnurished.

[19:57] <Sweetness> Muffin?

[19:58] <Sweetness> *offers*

[19:58] <Nod> they are good muffins

[19:58] <~NiteBrite> I don't think muffins are the most healthy thing...

[19:58] <DustyFeathers> "It's either that or rotten apples."

[19:58] <Nod> better then these apples

[19:58] <Anthrax> *eats it quickly*

[19:59] <MarissaInaba> >:|

[19:59] <Anthrax> T_T so good

[19:59] <DustyFeathers> "Do you know where the others went?"

[19:59] <Anthrax> *looks away*

[19:59] <Sweetness> Do they need muffins too?

[20:00] <Anthrax> Its just me here.

[20:00] * Whiteout blinks.

[20:00] <Nod> oh dear

[20:00] <MarissaInaba> Well then what happened?

[20:00] <Anthrax> *kicks at the dirt*

[20:00] <~NiteBrite> Are they zombies?

[20:01] <Sweetness> 9_6 *stares at NB* rude much?

[20:01] <~NiteBrite> I- sorry

[20:01] * DustyFeathers braces herself for any bad news.

[20:01] <MarissaInaba> She abandoned us to zombies. I know I ain't bein' polite to her.

[20:03] <Nod> maybe she had a reason

[20:03] <Anthrax> Well first you have to know, MachDasher isn't the brightest of ponues

[20:03] <Anthrax> *ponies

[20:03] <MarissaInaba> Oh.

[20:03] <MarissaInaba> Okay, I think I can figure out what happened.

[20:03] * Whiteout nods. "I kinda got that impression, yeah."

[20:03] <Anthrax> Careless and the like

[20:04] <~NiteBrite> *Opens mouth to make joke, is stared at by Sweetness, closes mouth*

[20:04] <DustyFeathers> "Is he...?" Dusty was trying her best not to get emotional.

[20:06] <Anthrax> With the apples gone bad, we had to scavenge outside for food. Well one day, Mach and triplecrown were out when Mach gets discovered chased, and so he sarts running directly towards our hideout.

[20:06] <MarissaInaba> Oh my god what.

[20:06] <MarissaInaba> *facehoof*

[20:08] <Anthrax> So here I am and suddenly hear yells 'DEEECOY need to slow them down~'

[20:08] <Anthrax> He means me of course

[20:08] <~NiteBrite> He was going to use you as a decoy to escape the zombies?

[20:08] <MarissaInaba> I'm going to kill him. I'm going to kill him so hard.

[20:08] <Anthrax> *nods*

[20:08] * Nod nods

[20:09] <Anthrax> Well Triple, he hears... he hears the yelling and

[20:09] <Anthrax> he comes and tackles Mach.

[20:10] <Anthrax> Theres was a lot of yelling.. *tears up*

[20:10] <Anthrax> I haven't seen either of them since then

[20:10] * Whiteout is muttering quietly under his breath as Anthrax goes on, looking more upset all the time. "When the apples started to... how long were we gone?"

[20:11] <MarissaInaba> >:|

[20:11] <DustyFeathers> "No. No this can't be right." Dusty mumbled to herself before heading into the TARDIS.

[20:11] <Anthrax> *Doesn't have a calander* Long enough.. *chokes back the tears*

[20:11] <MarissaInaba> I am going to do very nasty things to that pony if he isn't already a zombie.

[20:12] <Nod> i dont even know him and i dont like him

[20:12] <~NiteBrite> Wow- um. Now I feel bad for being all jolly and jokey earlier

[20:13] <MarissaInaba> C'mon, let's get you inside and fed... even if all we have is muffins.

[20:13] <MarissaInaba> And not many of those.

[20:13] <Sweetness> *helps Anthrax into the TARDIS*

[20:13] <MarissaInaba> *also helps*

[20:14] <~NiteBrite> Once everyone is inside NB closes the door

[20:14] <Nod> here we go again

[20:15] <Anthrax> *Eats another half muffin, but doesn't really seem to have the stomach for more*

[20:15] * Whiteout just hangs his head as he follows back into the TARDIS quietly.

[20:15] <Anthrax> It's bigger on the inside

[20:15] <Sweetness> *The timer on the TARDIS monitor is counting down from an hour.*

[20:16] <MarissaInaba> Yeah, you get used to it. There's a pool.

[20:16] <Anthrax> Shutup, no there isn't

[20:16] <MarissaInaba> C'mon, let's find you a bed. We really need you at full strength.

[20:16] <MarissaInaba> Also yes there is. I fell in it.

[20:16] * DustyFeathers flies up to where she was cleaning earlier and perches on a beam.

[20:17] <Anthrax> *Disbelieves, but is helped to bed anyways*

[20:17] <~NiteBrite> We'll it seems like we're stuck here for a while

[20:17] <Nod> dont worry i dont ge it eather

[20:18] <~NiteBrite> At least another 45 minutes.

[20:18] * Whiteout looks up at that. "Then we should go look for the other two. They may have made it away."

[20:19] <MarissaInaba> Much as I'm pissed off at you, I think I can forgive it if you promise to help me beat the snot out of Mach Dasher

[20:19] <Sweetness> It seems like they disappeared a while ago, Anthrax was at least being fed while they were around right?

[20:20] <Anthrax> I gave him a black eye *grins*

[20:20] * DustyFeathers hears Whiteout and flies back down to the Tardis door.

[20:20] <Whiteout> He -deserved- it.

[20:20] <Anthrax> You haven't seen Dysentery have you?

[20:20] <MarissaInaba> I intend to leave the little bastard in traction by the time I'm done with him.

[20:20] <MarissaInaba> No, sorry.

[20:21] <MarissaInaba> To be fair we were kinda distracted by all the other things going on right now.

[20:21] <~NiteBrite> *stayed in the main control room with Sweetness*

[20:21] <Anthrax> Don't forget, you owe me that.

[20:22] <MarissaInaba> Yeah, I know. Thanks for at least goin' through with beating him up for me.

[20:22] <DustyFeathers> "Let's go then, the sooner we get this done with, the sooner we can be put out of our misery." Dusty was clearly not her usual self, to say the least.

[20:22] <Anthrax> *nods then goes to sleep*

[20:22] <MarissaInaba> Trust me. I don't walk out on my debts.

[20:22] <MarissaInaba> *turns and heads to the rest of the group*

[20:22] <~NiteBrite> You okay Dusty?

[20:22] <MarissaInaba> What'd I miss?

[20:23] * Nod falls asleep standing in a corner

[20:23] <DustyFeathers> "I'm fine. Peachy. Now let's GO." She was getting frustrated quickly.

[20:23] * Whiteout nods, and turns to the door. "Alright. But let's do this carefully. Not going to lose anypony else out here."

[20:23] <Sweetness> We're stuck here while the TARDIS recharges. Not much to do unless you want to wander in the dark

[20:23] <~NiteBrite> Go where?

[20:24] <MarissaInaba> Hrmf.

[20:24] <~NiteBrite> To look for them?

[20:24] * Whiteout hits the door release, and steps back into the cellar.

[20:25] * DustyFeathers practically springs out of the TARDIS into the cellar.

[20:25] <~NiteBrite> I'm not sure thats such a good idea

[20:25] <~NiteBrite> Wait~

[20:25] <MarissaInaba> >:| gee thanks for filling me in on what I missed while helping Anthrax, guys.

[20:26] <Sweetness> *takes the flashlight and follows dusty

[20:26] * MarissaInaba sighs and follows the others.

[20:26] <DustyFeathers> "Okay, where are those stairs?"

[20:26] <Sweetness> *shines the light* Over there

[20:26] <Sweetness> I'll lead the way

[20:27] <Sweetness> *climbs up the stairs and outside*

[20:27] * DustyFeathers marches right over to them, following Sweetness.

[20:27] <~NiteBrite> *stays behind in the TARDIS*

[20:28] * Whiteout winces, and quickly heads up after her, whispering at the derpy-eyed fillie. "Sweetness, don't rush out like that. You're the only one with any idea how to run that thing, we -can't- have you getting hurt."

[20:28] <MarissaInaba> *mutter mutter* no one's listening even though I'm -clearly* the smartest person here *mutter mutter*

[20:28] * Nod snores

[20:28] <Sweetness> *Outside its shocking how very few stars are in the sky. No wonder its darker than usual.

[20:28] <~NiteBrite> Sigh, everyone left me alone in the TARDIS

[20:29] <~NiteBrite> Cept you sir snores alot

[20:29] <Sweetness> So where do we look?

[20:29] <MarissaInaba> Look for what? >:|

[20:29] <DustyFeathers> "Give me the light. You go back to the TARDIS."

[20:30] <Sweetness> Dusty wants to go looking for Crown and Dasher

[20:30] <MarissaInaba> We have to look for Dysentery too.

[20:30] * Whiteout looks around the area. "If Anthrax heard 'em, they had to be pretty close."

[20:30] <Sweetness> and If I give her the light she'll fly off and leave us in the dark

[20:30] <MarissaInaba> Right.

[20:31] * ZombiePegasus flys past overhead, casting a brief shadow on the dull moon

[20:31] <DustyFeathers> "That's why I'm saying go back to the- Oh, there's no bloody point." Dusty zooms straight upwards and starts scouting the area.

[20:31] * MarissaInaba uses Unicorn telikinesis to take the flashlight. "I'll keep a hold of this, then, and we'll look as a team. You go back to the TARDIS and keep Nite Bright company what was that."

[20:32] <Sweetness> He's with Nod. And I don't know

[20:32] <MarissaInaba> *she drops the flashlight right around when the shadow shows up*

[20:32] <MarissaInaba> *but catches it before it breaks*

[20:32] <ZombiePegasus> *notices the Pegasus in the open air* GRRRR

[20:33] <MarissaInaba> Ahem. Sorry about that. Anyway, go back to where it's safe. You're the only one who can fly the TARDIS. We need you not to get hurt or caught.

[20:33] <ZombiePegasus> *aerial pursuit*

[20:33] * DustyFeathers hears a growl and sharply maneouvers herself out of the way.

[20:33] <MarissaInaba> ()

[20:33] <DustyFeathers> ()

[20:34] <MarissaInaba> ()

[20:34] <Sweetness> 9_6 *serious look* I want to help too

[20:34] <ZombiePegasus> (())

[20:34] <MarissaInaba> You CAN help. But not if you get yourself hurt or caught or killed.

[20:34] <MarissaInaba> ()

[20:34] <Sweetness> Fine *returns to the cellar*

[20:35] <Nod> *nod wakes up* hmm wha you caall me

[20:35] * Whiteout looks up at the growl, and swears before throwing himself airbourne in a cloud of dust and feather down.

[20:35] <MarissaInaba> :<

[20:35] <MarissaInaba> ... wait where did everyone else go?

[20:35] <MarissaInaba> *everypony

[20:35] <ZombiePegasus> *swoops past Dusty as he can't manuver quickly*

[20:36] <Sweetness> (~Everyone left Marrisa alone~)

[20:36] <MarissaInaba> Gragh darnit guys stop doing that >:|

[20:36] <MarissaInaba> >:| *she goes to look on her own, then, see how they like it*

[20:36] <~NiteBrite> So nod, you awake? It just us in here. Nod?

[20:36] * DustyFeathers uses the opportunity to catch up to the zombie and headbutt him in the back.

[20:37] * Whiteout is pretty visible, what with the solid white wingspan and all, especially when rowing frantically for height so he can see over the trees.

[20:37] <ZombiePegasus> Rrrooowch. *falls out of the sky with a loud thud*

[20:37] * MarissaInaba is also pretty visible due to bright fur and the flashlight.

[20:37] <Nod> yea sorry for falling asleep again im kind of a narcoleptic

[20:38] <ZombiePegasus> *trees rustle at the sound of the crashing zombie. Lots of rustling*

[20:38] <MarissaInaba> *now that she's paying attention to her surroundings, she actually hears this* ._.

[20:39] <~NiteBrite> I was thinking, maybe we could read that book you found

[20:39] <Nod> oh right

[20:39] <DustyFeathers> Dusty glares down to where the zombie crashed.

[20:39] <ZombiePegasus> Several zombie pegasi take flight. At least six! Its not safe to stay in the air.

[20:40] <~NiteBrite> "The elements of Harmony, a guide"

[20:40] <Whiteout> Dusty! This has gotten worse, we have to get down!

[20:40] <DustyFeathers> "Well.... Fudge." Dusty swoops down to the ground and hides by a rock.

[20:41] * MarissaInaba turns off the flashlight ._.

[20:41] <ZombiePegasus> *The zombies have not seen them due to how dark it is, and the trees provide some cover.

[20:42] * MarissaInaba sneaks back to the apple cellar

[20:42] <ZombiePegasus> Weee knowwwrrrr yorrr out therrr

[20:42] * Whiteout folds his own wings and dives back groundward, heading towards the cellar himself.

[20:42] <~NiteBrite> *the door is open to the TARDIS

[20:42] * MarissaInaba waits there for the others to get back

[20:42] <Sweetness> *is not in the TARDIS*

[20:43] * MarissaInaba would not notice this as she's not actually IN the TARDIS yet.

[20:43] * DustyFeathers stares up at the pegasi, calculating what to do next.

[20:43] <ZombiePegasus> They don't seem to be giving up

[20:44] <MarissaInaba> *whispering* pssst! Whiteout! Where's Dusty?

[20:45] * Whiteout stops at the cellar door, looking back for Dusty. *whispering* "She dove before I did, where did she come down?"

[20:45] * DustyFeathers looks around for any land zombies quickly.

[20:45] <~NiteBrite> "It all began with the ancient battle of the two pony sisters," NB continues to read

[20:46] <zombieponies> shadows move about

[20:46] <zombieponies> but aren't too close... yet

[20:46] <MarissaInaba> *whispering* I don't know! I turned off the flashlight the instant the zombies showed up, so I can't see anything!

[20:47] * DustyFeathers starts running loudly away from the cellar.

[20:47] <MarissaInaba> ._.

[20:47] <~NiteBrite> There were two royal alicorns. The alicorn of light, Celestia of the Sun, and a mare of night and darkness, Luna of the Moon

[20:47] * Whiteout looks around the area, then looks up at the sound of running. "Sweet Celestia, tell me she isn't..."

[20:48] <MarissaInaba> Oh, for the love of... dammit am I the only person in this group who isn't an idiot?

[20:48] <zombieponies> Huh?

[20:48] <DustyFeathers> "They can hear me, but they can't see me..." Dusty thought to herself.

[20:48] <zombieponies> There she issssss!

[20:49] <zombieponies> *chases the noise, but the pegsus still circle in the air*

[20:49] <MarissaInaba> And of course we can't go after her because we can't see her.

[20:49] * DustyFeathers keeps running continuously looking up to the sky.

[20:49] <MarissaInaba> And we can't turn the flashlight on or the pegasus zombie will see us.

[20:50] <zombieponies> *Dusty approaches the barn*

[20:50] * Whiteout is visibly torn. "And there's at least a half dozen of 'em up there. I don't think I can outfly that many..."

[20:50] <MarissaInaba> But... we have to do something!

[20:51] <MarissaInaba> Gragh, dammit.

[20:51] <~NiteBrite> The two royal pony sisters ruled the land of Equestria, making all the world shiny with beauty

[20:51] <MarissaInaba> New rule: no one's allowed to take these kinds of stupid risks.

[20:52] * DustyFeathers spots the barn and flies up to the roof, keeping low so the pegasi () don't see her.

[20:52] <Nod> shiny, realy.

[20:52] <Whiteout> And the clock's ticking.

[20:52] <zombieponies> The pegasi don't see her, but it sounds like the earth ponies are closing in

[20:53] <~NiteBrite> Thats what it says, see *shows nod the book* Shiny

[20:53] <MarissaInaba> Grrr.

[20:54] * DustyFeathers quickly flies away from the barn in a new direction, staying high until diving into the orchard.

[20:54] <Nod> wow just wow

[20:55] <Sweetness> *Sweetness is in a clearing near the barn

[20:55] <zombieponies> *The pegasis see her this time and pursue

[20:56] <zombieponies> *sees the zomb ponies dive* Looks like they spotted something

[20:56] * Whiteout takes a deep breath, then shoots Marissa a look. "I..." He shakes his head. "We can't abandon somepony else like this. We've got to go after her."

[20:56] * DustyFeathers spots Sweetness. "Hey! Where are you going?!"

[20:57] <MarissaInaba> We can't AFFORD to abandon her. We need as many ponies as possible or we'll never be able to fix this.

[20:57] <Sweetness> I was looking for the missing ponies!

[20:57] <Whiteout> Wait, this can be fixed? It's already happened!

[20:58] <Sweetness> *Is surrounded*

[20:58] <Sweetness> GAH

[20:58] <MarissaInaba> There's gotta be a way. There's just gotta.

[20:58] <MarissaInaba> I'm not gonna let things just stay like this.

[20:58] * DustyFeathers quickly steers towards Sweetness.

[20:58] <Whiteout> I sure hope you're right.

[20:58] <zombieponies> The zombie pegasi take sweetness.

[20:59] <Sweetness> Waaaaaaah~

[20:59] <MarissaInaba> Wait was that Sweetness?

[20:59] <DustyFeathers> "SWEETIE!!"

[20:59] <~NiteBrite> And look here, it says... *hears distant yelling* what was that?

[20:59] * Whiteout looks up, noting the sky looks clear here now. "I'm going up. That has to be her."

[20:59] <Sweetness> *flail flails*

[21:00] * DustyFeathers speeds after the zombies.

[21:00] <MarissaInaba> Crap!

[21:00] <DustyFeathers> "YOU LET HER GO RIGHT NOW!!"

[21:00] <Nod> i got a bad feeling about this

[21:00] <zombieponies> Anottherrrr to join the herrrd

[21:01] <MarissaInaba> SWEETNESS DAMMIT I TOLD YOU TO STAY IN THE TARDIS!

[21:01] * Whiteout lumbers into the air, pulling to get above the trees and find the source of the noise.

[21:01] <zombieponies> *some of the zombies break off and chase dusty while the others keep sweetie*

[21:01] <Sweetness> Heeeelp~

[21:02] <~NiteBrite> steps outside "Marissa, what's going on?

[21:02] <~NiteBrite> "

[21:02] * MarissaInaba flails around impotently but is ultimately useless as her magic isn't really for this kind of situation

[21:02] <MarissaInaba> They got Sweetness!

[21:02] <~NiteBrite> Oh no they didn't! *Takes to the air too*

[21:03] <Sweetness> *is hitting one on the head, but it doesn't seem to notice* lemme go

[21:03] <DustyFeathers> "I'M COMING SWEETIE!!" Dusty keeps going after the zombies holding her, occassionally maneuvering around various trees to catch her own persuers off guard.

[21:03] * Whiteout is above the trees by now, looking around frantically for Dusty.

[21:03] <Nod> *follows along* i have no clue how to help but i got to anyway

[21:04] <zombieponies> *Whiteout can probably see the commotion in the sky, its pretty tumultuous* (( ))

[21:04] <MarissaInaba> ()

[21:05] * Whiteout looks back to see NiteBrite coming up as well. "I think that's it. Be careful, they're flying now."

[21:05] <zombieponies> It is now three fast normal pegasi against six slow zombies.

[21:05] * Whiteout doesn't stick around, heading off towards the commotion at his best speed.

[21:06] <~NiteBrite> *nods to Whiteout and huff puffs his way behind* We're coming sweetie

[21:06] <Nod> (())

[21:06] <MarissaInaba> *more flailing; her magic isn't helpful in this situation!*

[21:06] * DustyFeathers looks back quickly to see who's left chasing her before diving towards Sweetie's captors.

[21:07] <zombieponies> *A rock is flung with much force from somewhere in the trees. It concks out the zombie holding sweetness*

[21:07] * DustyFeathers flies straight under Sweetness, catching her.

[21:08] <zombieponies> *the rock barely misses Dusty on its way back down. Whoever threw it was no normal pony. That took a lot of strength*

[21:08] <Sweetness> I'm okay,

[21:09] * DustyFeathers looks at the rock.

[21:09] <DustyFeathers> "Triple?!"

[21:09] <DustyFeathers> "Dashy?!"

[21:09] <~NiteBrite> *huff puff* Soo- *huff* - so useless. I'm not fast enough to help

[21:09] <~NiteBrite> *lands*

[21:10] <DustyFeathers> "Whatinthehaywashisname... Oh! Sentry?!"

[21:10] <Nod> *catches up to NB* whats going on up there

[21:10] <zombieponies> Grrroooooo Grrreet out of herrrre *a voice calls out from the tree line.*

[21:10] * Whiteout is not terribly fast either, but is swifty becoming seriously scared as he streaks along.

[21:10] * MarissaInaba rushes over to get as close to dusty and Sweetness as possible. "Darnit, land already before the other zombies eat you!"

[21:11] <zombieponies> *More rocks fly, scattering the zombie pegasi

[21:11] <~NiteBrite> Sweet- sweetness is h'okay

[21:11] <DustyFeathers> "No way! You're coming with us, whoever you are!!"

[21:11] <~NiteBrite> NB says to Nod.

[21:12] <zombieponies> Itsss too late forrrrrrr me GO!

[21:12] <DustyFeathers> "At least tell me who you are!"

[21:12] <Nod> thats good now you look exausted here lean on me

[21:13] <zombieponies> I'm Trrrrrr- trrrr- *its quiet and the rocks stop*

[21:13] * DustyFeathers nods her head and rushes straight towards the rest of the group.

[21:13] <~NiteBrite> I don flysogood

[21:14] <~NiteBrite> lets head back

[21:14] <MarissaInaba> *jumping up and down impatiently; she turns back the instant she sees Dusty do the same*

[21:14] <DustyFeathers> Anypony behind me?

[21:14] <Sweetness> Present!

[21:15] <DustyFeathers> "Anything else??"

[21:15] <Nod> ok *help NB make a tactical retreet*

[21:15] <~NiteBrite> We're commin

[21:15] <zombieponies> *are regrouping*

[21:15] <Whiteout> "Above you, actually. Let's go!"

[21:15] <DustyFeathers> "I'm so sorry!!!!"

[21:16] <~NiteBrite> *everyone makes it back to the tardis okay*

[21:16] <MarissaInaba> Blagh don't you ever do that again! *close behind everyone else!*

[21:16] <Sweetness> 6_6 I just wanted to help

[21:16] <DustyFeathers> "I'm sorry, I just heard there were more zombies and I didn't want to lure them into the TARDIS."

[21:17] <DustyFeathers> "But... We found one more pony."

[21:17] <MarissaInaba> *glare glare glare* Sweetness, you could have been killed or worse.

[21:17] <Whiteout> "Really?"

[21:17] <MarissaInaba> *turns to dusty* And you! No more running off gung ho!

[21:18] <DustyFeathers> "Understood." She nods to Marissa.

[21:18] <Sweetness> Pony's lives were on the line...

[21:19] <DustyFeathers> "But yeah... The only thing that got us here was Triple.

[21:19] <Whiteout> "He's alive?!?"

[21:19] <DustyFeathers> He distracted the pegasi with rocks.

[21:19] <MarissaInaba> Good. Glad we don't have to make it into a fight.

[21:19] <Sweetness> What if Crown and Mach were okay, it just didn't seem right to abandon them to play it safe

[21:19] <MarissaInaba> Now what's this about Triple?

[21:19] <DustyFeathers> He saved us... But it was too late to save him.

[21:20] <DustyFeathers> He'd already been had.

[21:20] <Whiteout> "..."

[21:20] * DustyFeathers starts to cry.

[21:20] * Nod hung his head

[21:20] <MarissaInaba> ...

[21:21] <DustyFeathers> "And back in school, I thought he was just scared of the dark!!"

[21:21] <DustyFeathers> "He saw the shadows, but I didn't believe him!"

[21:21] <~NiteBrite> Sees, Dusty crying. That tears it. I'm tired of running.

[21:21] <MarissaInaba> That... Well... That means that Mach's prolly been zombie'd too.

[21:21] <~NiteBrite> Its time to take action! > :

[21:21] <~NiteBrite> >: (

[21:21] <Nod> how

[21:22] <MarissaInaba> What?

[21:22] * Whiteout is just gritting his teeth and flying.

[21:22] <DustyFeathers> "Please... I'm not ready to hear Dashy's gone yet..."

[21:22] <MarissaInaba> I mean, it's not like we can just go back in time and stop this from ever having happened.

[21:22] <~NiteBrite> We have a time machine right? I say we use it.

[21:22] <MarissaInaba> And go where?

[21:23] <MarissaInaba> We are not wandering off without a plan.

[21:23] <~NiteBrite> It starteds with NMM's arrival. I say we kick her flank before she has time to assemble this... this army

[21:24] <~NiteBrite> The Doctor told us right, she has a weakness

[21:24] <MarissaInaba> And how do you propose we exploit that weakness? Magic sparkle dust?

[21:24] <Nod> ok do you know how to stear this thing backwards

[21:25] <Whiteout> "... let's get inside, and figure this out. This will not stand."

[21:25] <Sweetness> I- I think so, but its been so long. And the TARDIS dance is rather... complex

[21:25] <DustyFeathers> (())

[21:25] <Whiteout> (( Ignore that, then. My client must've hiccoughed.))

[21:25] <MarissaInaba> We're not going anywhere without a concrete plan. Unless you want us to all get killed for nothin'.

[21:26] <~NiteBrite> We'll. I - uhhh- the book! maybe it can tell us

[21:27] <~NiteBrite> *grabs the Elements of Harmony, A Refrence Guide*

[21:27] * DustyFeathers spots the cover. "But I thought they were Old Mare's Tails..."

[21:28] <DynamiteBlast> (())

[21:28] <~NiteBrite> Your a unicorn Marissa, magic is your forte right?

[21:28] <DynamiteBlast> (())

[21:28] * Whiteout settles to the floor to listen, looking tired but very interested.

[21:28] <Nod> (())

[21:28] <~NiteBrite> (())

[21:28] <Sweetness> (())

[21:28] <Anthrax> (())

[21:28] <Whiteout> (())

[21:28] <MarissaInaba> I'm specialized, but yeah.

[21:29] <DynamiteBlast> (())

[21:29] <DynamiteBlast> (())

[21:29] <Anthrax> (())

[21:29] <DynamiteBlast> (())

[21:30] <~NiteBrite> Well we've got anything, its time.

[21:30] <~NiteBrite> *if

[21:30] <MarissaInaba> ._.

[21:31] <MarissaInaba> Look, I just find things and also some basic tricks. I'm not much of a mage.
