Dash pulled herself out of a pile of undead flesh, sucking in air as hard as she could. It was a tough slog, but they were gone and she could finally catch up to her group.

"And this is why they call me Rainbow," she started, her wings beginning to flap hard, "DASH!"

Immediately, she rocketed forward, down the sewer, past the corpse of the Witch, and right into Youmu, of whom began to scream obscenities in Japanese.

"WHAT IN THE NAME OF CELESTIA ARE YOU?" Dash asked, the force of her flight pressing her unwanted cargo up against the pony's chest. The pegasus was too distracted by the newcomer to stop flying, and quickly found her face flattened up against a sewer wall. Youmu was able to dismantle herself from the cyan pony beforehand.

"WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM?" Youmu yelled, drawing her katana. Dash slid down the wall into a heap on the ground. Stars circled her head.

"Have no Dash, your Friendly Rainbow neighborhood is here..." she muttered in a daze. Youmu eyed the pony and sighed.

~You're lucky you've got pills AND a med pack~ she muttered in Japanese.

Youmu thought for a second, then continued, "And that you haven't lost anything. Except your eyesight. Do I look like one of them to you?" She looked around for something else to deal with the pony's bout of unfriendly fire, but there weren't any first aid kits or painkillers around. "The instant we're out of here, I'm going to murder you," she told it.

Dash shook her head about a bit to put her cogs back in place. She noticed the group congregating a bit off.

"Hey guys! What's next on our Zombie Survival Adventure?" Dash asked, flying at them with a grin on her face.

"I have a.... eh.... red... eh... healing thing? What it is in english?" Shadow stuttered out as he tried to remember the word. "Med....pac? med....heal? med....kit... medkit!!" he yelled out. He felt a little better for remembering what the word was but then remember what he was trying to do in the first place. "Oh right, I have a medkit here if you want it" he said as he threw the medkit over to Youmu.

"My name is Strider Hiryu. I am part of a underground Intelligence Network called the Striders. My mission was to tail and monitor you and you're friend's movements and find out if you where a threat to us and the world in general. My attempt at Hara Kiri was part of my training, but the second word of this gets out, I'm finished..." He confessed as he winced in pain.

Angelus looked to the rag tag group, and offered to contribute whatever medical supplies she had upon her person. In the ensuing scuffle, Caim had the unfortunate occurance of his new favorite toy running out of bullets. He wasn't sure if it was ever going to be reloaded, and was still pondering the ideas of whether he should drop the thing or keep carrying it...

"Is everyone ready yet?" Shadow asked impatiently, "if so... let us go". Shadow opened the door and blasted the head off of the nearest zombie.

Tomoya sighed as usual as he started to follow Shadow, making sure to kill any zombies that track behind him. "Let us see what awaits us!" Tomoya announced as he began to blow the nearest zombie's face off.

Shadow stopped as he heard a crying sound, again. "It is going to be a bad night when we take two steps out of the red door room and we run into a crying one" he said annoyed. He turned the corner and saw the witch sitting right in front of a double door. Shadow slowly took a side path around the witch and signaled everyone else to follow.

Caim had decided to leave the empty minigun as it lied, and pulled out his sword once more. He followed after Tomoya and Shadow, Angelus following with the Rifle. She had the gun at ready, and feared for the awakening of the Witch...

Dillon then prepared the Rising Dawn for heavy combat.
armor plating slid out from section, covering the entire airship with tempered steel.
"I'm slightly concerned that the zombies may attack. Excalibur I need you're strength."
The holy blade appeared before him
"Yes, yes lets go!"
"FOOL"
Dillon had been so excited, he had thought that he was going to be able to use the holy sword without having to listen to it's annoying demands.
"We simply must have some tea before embarking on such a dangerous quest"
"Dangerous? Your a total game breaker, I can fly with you, the zombie's will be destroyed with but a single touch, and lets not forget, your Excalibur, I don't bleed when I have you."
Dillon and Excalibur glared at each other for a while. eventually Dillon had to give in to the swords demands.

"I'll man the Rising Dawn's weapon systems, we need to find Ken and have him release the others." Hiryu said as he limped out, while the second serum helped, his body was in no state for open combat.

When she heard the crying sound again, this time only from one source, Youmu didn't pull out any weapons this time. She didn't trust her aim, nor Roukan in its current state, to stop it from hurting anyone if it got angry again. Following Shadow's hand signals, she slowly moved past it, looking past him at some zombies in another room that hadn't yet noticed them.

She started to pull out her rifle to try and pick off a few of them, but Shadow stopped her again. "That thing doesn't have a silencer, and the noise will be enough to set that Witch off, even if you're not shooting her." She lowered the gun again, and turned to the others.

"In that case..." She pulled the katana out. "Why don't we go somewhere where she can't hear us shooting things?" Nobody had any objections to this. Shadow took point again, the others following closely behind.

Dash noticed her hooves were making a lot of noise, as did her flapping wings. So, as the group meandered past the witch, she hung herself over Tomoya's head.

"What the hell are you DOING?" Tomoya angrily whispered.

"I just don't know what went wrong," Dash admitted.

The group continued on, and soon found a small room with some ammo, cheese, and posters of Sheogorath.

"Alright everyone, take five," Shadow declared, shouldering off some of his gear.

Youmu looked around the room with the cheese. "Somehow," she told the others, "this doesn't seem right. Perhaps something's gone wrong with the game..." She wasn't expecting much, but she touched Roukan again--

--It felt like it normally did, different to how it had felt out in the city. "This definitely isn't part of the game," she concluded, out loud. "But I don't think we should go back out. In fact, I've got an idea..."

The nerd wakes up in a bed, the last thing he remembers is a beam of light covering him. He walks groggily out of what seems to be an infirmary. "where am I? This doesn't look like home."
He walks around dawn before encountering Dillion. "Hey, mind explaining to me what's happening?"

"You are on my Airship, the Rising Dawn, Has a steampunk feel, We are about to kick the ass of the prick who sent us here. Hiryu is Manning the weapon systems. As for me, I have to make Tea because this prick of a-" Dillon managed to say before getting interrupted yet again.
"FOOL! You only put in one sugar!" Excalibur the holy sword shouted at him
"...Just see if Hiryu needs any help..." he groaned.

As Youmu was talking Tomoya sighed from talking to the annoying ponies. He always wondered why they were created in the first place, but now he knows why they were blocked off from the rest of life in their own world. He sighed once more as he turned a into a corridor back into the game. He saw an elevator with a ammo stack near it, he rushed back to the group and said, "Guys the next level is around the corridor, it seems we have to take a elevator to it" Tomoya suggested as they were about to hear the rest of Youmu's talk.

"Ah and i suppose it will make a racket?" Shadow said annoyed. He walked up beside the elevator and waited for the rest of the group.

Router died on me won't post for couple of hours.

Youmu left the room behind, seeing as nobody else seemed interested. And perhaps it was just that her hand was feeling weird...It wouldn't have been a surprise, seeing as the rest of that room was kind of strange. She moved between Shadow and Tomoya, wondering why the former had assumed it would make a lot of noise.

Dillon finally got the tea ready.
The sword was slowly sipping the tea.
"I can't believe this, instead of assisting my friends I'm making tea for a sword."
Dillon suspected he wouldn't have time to fly down, so he made other plans.
"Activate Full armament, authorization: Captain Dillon Musyj, Code: SG5USG4BLAGT7G"
No one heard this code, but the airship Recognized it.
a voice binged in
"Warning Airship is being Prepared for extreme combat, some areas of the ship will be sealed, these areas will have warning lights flash, if your in one of these areas please evacuate to a safe area of the ship."
the Airship became completely sealed from the outside, multiple guns activated, the difference between these and the usual guns, apart form a lot more of them, was these guns used much more powerful munitions, electrically charged with Tesla coils, these bullets were powerful, but so dangerous that to use them unless in emergency would be careless.

Boss still remember the first time he flew. It was an exhilarating feeling, kicking physics in the balls for no reason other than you could, and that feeling never went away. Sure, it was faster and easier to teleport, but flying was fun.

And then he woke up, head still throbbing, still a little wet from his last outing, and slightly befuddled to boot. He'd decided to take a nap, and must've overslept a little bit.

Slowly, he stumbled out of his cot, and meandered back to the landing pad, looking for Edge.

MEANWHILE

Edge slipped between the people he was silently watching and into the elevator, climbing stealthily into the corner. They'd been doing really, really good so far, despite any sort of misgivings that himself or anyone may have had. So far, there had been no reason to intervene, but he still watching, just in case.

"Well I am just going to press this button that totally doesn't look like it would cause a horde to attack" Shadow said sarcastically. He pressed the button and of course a horde came running at them, "Aaahh look it started on floor thirty and were on what? Level FOUR?!?" he said said as he crushed a zombies head in.

Another sigh came from Tomoya. "Crap, well it seems we have to hold out as much as-GAG" Tomoya was interrupted but a smoker grabbing him with his tongue. "Don...tuch...meeee!" Tomoya said as he quickly aimed his magnum right towards the smoker and blew his brains out. He rushed back to the group and pulled his machine gun out and started to shoot the horde up. Little did they know a tank was just entering the hospital. They started to feel minimal vibrations.

Angelus was perking at the feel of the ever increasing vibration in the hospital,
"Caim...."
Caim on the other hands was busy with slashing another zombie; it was then a little thumping was starting to crescendo in their midst.

Youmu took a few steps away from the elevator as the rumbling noise got louder, taking out the once-again-neutered Roukan as she did. With one last look back at the elevator - 24 floors to go - she readied herself for a tough fight. You've beaten tougher, she told herself, though finding it harder and harder to believe...

Shadow was standing by a nearby by wall when the wall just exploded. A tank busted through the wall sending Shadow flying a few feet right to Youmu's feet. Shadow began to curse in Russian as he tried to get up but found he couldn't. "Agh.. I can't get up....." Shadow staggered out as he fell back down to the floor in pain.

As Tomoya saw the carnage surround him he huffed impatiently and kicked the button for the elevator hard, the elevator door suddenly said that the elevator was dropping...and fast. A few seconds later a giant boom came from the elevator door and it opened with a *Ding* showing everyone a not damaged elevator. "Oh I found a glitch" Tomoya muttered as he dragged Shadow into the elevator. "Going up everyone!" Tomoya yelled as everyone got in.

As Youmu quickly pressed the button to go to the top the tank smuggled itself in-between the elevator doors, but not quick enough that Tomoya could fit his boot in it's face and it launched backwards into another wall. The doors closed and everyone huffed leaning against a wall even the damn unicorn was tired, but Tomoya looked at the floors they were going up and they were going up fast.

"Isn't that a too fast?" Tomoya muttered as they went up by 3 floors in a second, then the g-force hit them hard as they all fell to the elevator floor due to the speed, "Hold on everyone, this is going to be a bit bumpy...arghh" Shadow warned as the elevator shot out of the hospital roof and went 50 feet in the air. As the elevator slowed down Tomoya muttered, "Crap, every heard of the saying what goes up must go down?....Well yeah". The elevator threw them all to the roof of the elevator as the began descending towards the roof of a hospital, "AHHHHHHHHHHH" Everyone yelled as they were falling to the roof.

*BAM*

The elevator was a wreak when it landed onto the roof, luckily it was a glitch that didn't hurt them. As everyone dragged themselves out of the elevator they saw a building with a radio in it.

Shadow crawled out of the elevator in pain. "I.... Hate..... this.... Game....." he muttered as he dragged himself out.

Tomoya and Angelus seemed fine from the falling elevator, but while Youmu was used to flying, she wasn't used to not being in control of her own flight. Crawling out of the elevator slightly disoriented, she quickly got herself back under control. Shadow, Caim, Angelus and Tomoya were already up and about - she and Rainbow Dash were the last ones out.

As Angelus pointed out another minigun to Caim, who seemed incredibly pleased to pick it up again, Shadow was looking at the armoury. He pulled something out of a small white box and waved Youmu over, asking for a look at her rifle. She obliged, and he attached the thing to it.

"What's this do?" she asked. Without saying anything, he reached over and pressed a button on the attachment. A red dot appeared on the floor, surprising Youmu a bit. As she moved the gun around, the dot moved as well. She was still slightly confused, and told Shadow so.

"It's to help your aim," he explained. "Goodness knows you need all the help you can get. Whatever the red dot is on top of, the bullet will go there. Keeping it steady, though, is something you'll have to do yourself." He attached one to his own weapon, and Youmu fired a few rounds as a test. Satisfied that she'd calibrated it properly, she picked up some more bullets from the nearby ammo pile, and a first aid kit as well.

Shadow used the first aid kit to patch himself up. He also grabbed some pills he might need later. "I really really.... hope this is almost over" he said with a sigh. "Hey you Youmu come here I can teach you a few ways to make your aim mor accurate" he yelled over to Youmu.
