*Coming up with neutral gestured for Rocket to do while talking and thinking is proving way harder with his hands tied behind his back...*

Rocket scratched his lower back thoughtfully. "Well I can't say for sure as to time frames, obviously they didn't keep me up to date on that little project, but given how conveniently timed that attack was when we made our move, I would say they are hitting some pretty serious mile stones." He frowns. "Corse, that could just be them getting an implant in one or two and then using them lure others. Almost as dangerous for people like you, but not the sorta thing you can lead a world conquering army with."

He sighs. "Honestly if you want my best advise as to how long you have, just don't mess around if you are going after Yana and the boss. Till that army of the dead comes marching lock step over the hills you still have a chance, but once the ball gets rollin, nothing left in this world will stop it."


Colgate looked as if she was about to be sick as she asked, "And rifts? Do you know if there are any crossing points were we can get back to the lab quickly?"

Rocket shook his head. "I know the one I followed you through. You try another rift you might be closer or you could end up thousands of miles away. You would need someone who was working on studying that side of things to use the rifts the way you are talking about." He looked around. "Anything else or are we done with the 20 questions?"

*     *     *

Mac nodded. "I'm not going to maim you if you want to just ride this one out." He trembles then bends down and gives Johnny a tight hug. "Where here for you man, no mater what you want to do!"

"one hour, ten minutes"

Mac grit his teeth as D explined what had happened to his brother and his son. As D finished, drawing a 45. and making offer, Mac rounded on him. Tears where running down his red face as he slowly pointed a trembling finger at the well built man.

"D I don't care if you think you are helping or if your brother asked for you to murder him or his kid, but if you point that thing at Johnny I will make you regret it!" His voice rose to a roar as the group around the table turned to look in the direction of the shout.

D closed his eyes and put away his gun "so your going to force him to stick it out huh ,even if that's not what he wants? I said 'when and it's meaning when he wants it done and if he wants it done or for me to do it' the point I'm trying to make here is, its not your decision Mac its his" D said, his tears drying as he glares at Mac.

Dr. G looked at both Mac and D and spoke. "Settle Down Children!" Dr.  g said causing them to fall silent. "As I have said this is Johnny's issue not ours. But I will say it is not our place to euthanize him even if he wants us too. Either he will kill himself or find his own way of dealing with this sickness. For all we know perhaps his bite will just kill him and not cause him to turn there is that small percentage of people who just die from the bite." Dr. G pointed out. "And to think D you wanted to challenge Mac when you aren't a leader yourself shame really. But this isn't about us let's see what Johnny wants." Dr. G turned to Johnny. "What exactly do you want Johnny?" Dr. G asked offering the man a hug. "Truly though will be missed. Losing you is like losing a brother." Dr. G added feeling sick to his stomach.

***
Rarity looked up at the noise from the kitchen then turned to Rocket again. "When we are finished with you Mr. Rocket you will know it so until I recommend you relax and enjoy your brief stay." Rarity said aggressively. (Rarity what's gotten into you? No one hurts my friends especially not...) Her mental argument died in her mind. Maybe she really did need to talk to Colgate directly not some pony else like one did when they were fillies.

Derpy noticed that Rarity seemed a bit agitated lately. Was something wrong? She would have to ask later. She had to gather as much info as she could in case The Doctor need it.

"About these rifts," Derpy spoke up. "Do you know where they came from or what's causing them? Because it seems very convenient for an organization who wants to conquor the world with an army of the undead to have interdimensional portal suddenly appear all over the place."

"Those are some deep words" Johnny said standing up "so either death or suicide, a real Sophie's Choice huh" he said letting out a small fake chuckle. "I appreciate the sentiment G" accepting the hug "I'm not really good with speeches but I feel I have to say this. As little time as I known you all and you all seemed so nice and caring of everyone almost like we've known each other for a long time" tears starting streaming down his face as he looked at each persons face "but I, I screwed up. This is the price I pay for it. Its not what I want but it was what I was dealt and I'd like to go out strong, fighting the scum that started this to my last breath" He started feeling light headed and leaned against the wall and said in almost a whisper "Though that may be just a fabled dream to me. I just don't want to die a failure. I'm sorry everyone"

Mac swallowed hard then said. "We are going to move out pretty soon, so why don't you let me grab a few things then... then how about we go out together and clear the road a bit for the others? " He wiped the tears from his face with a shaky hand. "You got hurt saving my dumb ass from thous flyers, so how about... going out, knowing that your protecting the lives over everyone in this group?"

He looked back at the others. "I would suggest the rest of you finish up your business here and then pack. We... I'll meet you a little ways down the road."


*     *     *

Colgate watched the drama unfolding with a sick sense of dread. If she had the vaccine, if she could have talked to the Princesses rather then running from Canterlot, then Johnny's bite would have been nothing, but a small injury which the doctor or Rarity could clear up in a minute. She looked at Rocket with renewed loathing, his fault. Him and his employers and his friends. They chased her, drove her off from the capital! They had killed Johnny just as surely as the bite had.

Rocket looked troubled at the shouting. "Your buddy with the guns right." He muttered, low enough that the more angry members of the group could not hear him from the other room. "Its a painful, ugly way to go, one of thous bites and it would be a mercy to put one in his head before it starts eating him alive." He shakes his head. "The cyanide was as much there for if we got bitten, as for if we got grabbed."

He looked at Derpy, "Your question was about the rifts? Right, can't say to much about them, as information was strictly partitioned to avoid anyone knowing to much in case of a leak. I know that the rifts rippin open when they did was almost certainly no coincidence and since I was stationed on the plague development level, I know they either made the virus or had it on hand to spread." He nodded towered Colgate. "The reason me and mine were sent to go get your friend there was almost certainly because there was nothing new she could tell us that we were not spouse to know and so if we got grabbed by people she had come clean too, we could not give them to much they would not already know."


He shrugged. "Worked pretty well, I guess."

Dr. brushed away some tears. "I don't have much to pack either I'll join you guys on this adventure. After all you're like Family Johnny. Dr. G said sniffling. "One last Stand Johnny we will remember you as a hero." Dr. G said then pulled Johnny off to the side. "Ummm you might want to talk to Fluttershy I mean she really cares about you. Maybe talk to Rarity and tell her to watch out for her I don't know something like that." Dr. G whispered. "You're a good man Johnny and a true hero." Dr. G said saluting Johnny.  "Rarity if I forget anything super important pleas bring it for me." Dr. G said to her as went to pack his few possessions. Rarity nodded and  began gathering her belongings. Dr. G walked over to Rocket. "Can't say I like you but here is some Advil that should help with your pained tooth." Rocket a small travel size pack with 10 pills. Assuming no one else has anything to say or ask you.  You are free to go. Don't ever come back or you may not live to tell the story." Dr. G warned packing his few possessions into his bag.

Mac cut the plastic zip ties holding Rocket bound as Doc G slipped the pills into his bag. "Sorry about all this." Mac muttered, eyes still puffy from crying. "I don't know what the hell happened to the world, but no one seems to be in there right mind these days."

"Ya, well..." Rock agreed, rubbing his writs. "Decency sorta went out of style after the dead got up and started walking around. Before that even, really." He walked with Mac to the door then hesitated. "I swear I told you everything I know, but... I had this thought hit me while we were running all over the hills and woods."

"Oh?" Mac prompted, though his voice was dull and lifeless.

"Well..." Rocket began before hesitating, his tough poking around the area were his tooth had been. "Its just that, all these zombies, humans and ponies. They all have this terrible bite to them. But why? ponies don't have sharp teeth and how many people have you seen had there jaws shatter in such a way so that they end up with a set of jagged chompers that can crew though leather?"

"No idea." Mac sighed. "I am not a dentist."

"Neither am I." Rocket agreed, "But don't we all know someone who is?"

Mac snorted derisively. "Nice try asshole, but she already told us she was working on a cure and frankly, I trust her a hell of alto then I trust you."

"I ain't gonna lie and say she was not working on that." Rocket nodded hastily. "But here is the thing. I saw her when she came in, since I was assigned to her floor, but I was there in the section where they were actively trying to  synthesis a cure and it was two months before she was transferred to the part of the project."

"Bull shit!"

"Oh? So the idea that they hired a dental specialist to work on a genetics problem for a plague that has a strangely consistent habit of altering the victimizes teeth and that is transmitted by bites is more probable then me telling you the truth when I have nothing to gain by lying? You know what? No, I don't care what you believe, but I am not going to stick around for Colgate to pull out another one of my teeth." And with that Rocket walked out of the door and began marching off towered the treeline.

*     *     *

On the far side of the cabin Colgate hugged Fluttershy. "I am so sorry." She whispered. "But what happened to him was not your fault." It was theirs.

Johnny's eyes widened as G mentioned Fluttershy "oh no she heard didn't she, crap. Your right I have go talk to her" Johnny went out the kitchen turning back at G "thanks man " before walking out to Fluttershy

When yelling came from the kitchen Fluttershy watched alongside Colgate. It made her feel really uneasy. That's when she saw Johnny's arm and the bite on it. She couldn't talk, she couldn't move all she could do is sit there and watch in horror as they discussed his fate, each word feeling like a nail in her chest. Colgate hugged her and said it wasn't her fault (but it was) she thought to herself. Johnny walked out and walked towards her. She felt ready to throw up as he came closer.

"So I guess you know" Johnny said sitting down next to her. She began sobbing, and latched on to him "pl-please don't go. Its all my" Johnny hugged back causing her to go silent "Its not your fault and don't ever think it was.. we met two weeks ago and in those two weeks I found that you were a nice, shy, kind-hearted pony and that's how I'll remember you" she let go looking him in the eyes "there's so many things I want to say" she said. "I know I have a lot to say to I just don't have much time so it might be best to stick to our goodbyes. The last thing I wanna do is hurt you."

* All these feels Johnny sure is playing this out right*

Rarity felt her heartache for Fluttershy. Rarity knew the pain of saying goodbye to somepony and never seeing them again.  But at least she had hope... "I'm so sorry Darling." Rarity said trying to comfort her friend. (You can't seem to make your own feelings known how could you help another friend. shut up you!) Rarity thought to herself quietly. She patted her friend. "I'll take care of you although..." She trailed off dourly and began to pack a few things into her bags. She noticed Derpy packing and thought (perhaps I should ask her about Colgate....)
Dr. G walked with Mac.

"Remember my last words about never coming back accusing one of friends of being a part of this plague definitely earns you a Move along if you want to live." Dr. G said as Rocket walked away.

"You ready to head out Johnny?" Dr. G asked cleaning his machete with a dish towel.

* Johnny, you tearjerking jerk! Your getting me all misty eyed and ruining my tough guy image! Stop making me feel emotions!
Also wow... just misspelled clothes as cloths... Fuck you Giro.*


"Hold up." Mac said, running upstairs. A few minutes later he hurried back down again, tucking something into his pocket. "Just tossing whatever I want brought along clothing wise onto the floor next to a suit case. If someone can just pack that for me and grab my tent from the shed, then I'll have everything I need to leave."

He shot Doctor Gibson a troubled look and whispered. "Doc, listen, that Rocket guy's an asshole, but... god this is crazy, but I think he was telling the truth, about Colgate. Something about her story just doesn't add up right, you know?" He sighed. "I don't think she's trying to steer us wrong or anything, but I think she's to scared to come all the way clean. And with everything that's happened... Maybe its best if we let one of her friends talk to her about this, without letting it just get around to the rest of the group just yet? You trust Rarity and she and Colgate seem to get along alright, maybe ask her."

He looked over at Johnny and Flutershy. "Christ. As if we didn't have enough reasons to find that cure already..."


*     *     *

Colgate let Fluttershy and Johnny hug as she slowly backed away. She looked out the door at the retreating back of killer as he vanished into the forest. "Monster." She snarled, wiping a few tears from her eyes. "I'll pay you all back for Fluttershy's sake..." She looked at the hugging pair, then added in the softest of whispers. "And for Johnny's."

Derpy was packing up her belongins for the journey ahead. She decided to put on the hourglass pendant in case The Doctor needed to contact her. She turned to see Rarity standing in the doorway.

"Oh hi, Rarity! How's it going?" Said Derpy." I've noticed you've seemed upset lately. Is there any thing I can do to help?"

RD looked at Fluttershy, wishing to console her foalhood friend.

D saw RD get up, staring at Shy, he leaned down and whispered to her "give her a minute with Johnny, then go to her" he got back up and turned to Doctor G "hey doc, what's the odds of being immune or a Carrier?"

"The date we revised on the airborne had a 30-40% immunity in thous exposed." Colgate answered, "But bites were 100% lethal across the board. One in ten just died without rising and none sapients just died normally across the board, but if the injection gets to the hart and you have not been immunized with what they have sealed up in there privet lab..." She shook her head. "No one in either world is safe as long as we can't get at that cure."

*Little exposition dump on the virus. No 'Last of Us', 'Resident Evil' movie, Left 4 Dead, est. thing were there is a special person or small number of people who are immune.*
