-No banana pies. Donkey Kong looks at the zombie procession, and then towards where they're headed.-
"Huh?" Fluttershy said, seeing both of her allies. "Mr. Courier?" she said to the small lizard. "Mr. Link?" she said to wolf.
She looked straight ahead, seeing the buffalo trying and failing to ram one of the tank and getting shot at as a response. "Mr. Buffalo!!" she yelled to fright. Without thinking, Fluttershy galloped out of the alleyway, into the path of the lasers.
She did not care about the fire coming at her in all directions nor for her own safety. All she truly cared about at this point was protecting the buffalo in front of her......
The pony flew over and bucked one of the tanks as hard as he could. Unlike her usual weak and ineffective buck, the adrenaline of facing down a hoard of unknown vehicles in order to protect the buffalo caused the hit to be strong to make a tiny dent on the tank's chassis. Though the hit was miniscule, comparable to a paper cut, it WAS damage at least.
"Quick Mr. Buffalo, RUN!" Fluttershy cried out.

DAMMIT MARK, STOP HOTTING HELPY!!
"Of course, Satsuki-sama."
Nanoha scanned the procession of zombies. She wasn't really sure what to make of them, but they... really weren't nice to look at. Instead of looking at them any longer, she looked in the direction they were headed. A castle? That was certainly what it looked like. This place was really weird.
"Um... should we go see what that castle is?" she asked, turning to look back at the others.
"Oh, dear. The toad, the monkey, and the dog have all screwed up."

"Seriously, this place is weird." Muttered Mehir. Standing up, he drew his scimitars, then turned to Nanoha. "Usually, the big bad sorcerer lives in the castle - and this is especially worrying, since a procession of what seems like the reanimated bodies of the dead - what sort of vile sorcery is that? Is heading toward it."

"Of course, Satsuki-sama."
Nanoha glanced a the animated corpses, then back at the castle. That was disconcerting... but if the person who did this was in that castle, maybe they had a good reason for animating dead bodies. It's weird, and scary, and gross... but... but they still might have a good reason!
"Then we need to go talk to them!"
"Oh, dear. The toad, the monkey, and the dog have all screwed up."
(Avatar by Coffee)
"If my experience with bad people (see Master of Darkness, Aerius, et cetera) is relevant, it is more like that they will cast some harmful spell on you than talk..."
The voice of thy brother's blood crieth unto me from the ground
"Of course, Satsuki-sama."
"If that's what they do, then I'll have to make them listen," Nanoha replied, raising Raising Heart slightly.
"Oh, dear. The toad, the monkey, and the dog have all screwed up."
(Avatar by Coffee)
"Now that's a bit better. Shall we?" Asked Mehir.
The voice of thy brother's blood crieth unto me from the ground
"Of course, Satsuki-sama."
"Axel Fin," Raising Heart intoned.
The wings of magical energy once again spawned from Nanoha's shoes, flapping to raise her off the ground. If what Mehir was saying was right, then Nanoha would do what she had to do in those kinds of situations, make the person in the castle listen. But she wasn't going to start like that. It wasn't right. She was going to try and talk with them first.

Grey had initially been stunned into silence by the bizarre tree, but quickly recovered when the zombies appeared. Raising Model A, he yelled his transformation phrase and turned into his megamerged form. Checking his busters, he sighed.
"I've got a feeling that this one's gonna be a headache," mumbled Grey, trying his damndest to ignore the shambling assortment of zombies.

"Well, you are travelling with the Doctor. What did you expect, fun?" Mehir told Grey.

This was the mst bizzare place Garland had ever seen. He had also raised his sword at the zombies, but lowered it when it became obvious that they weren't hostile. Other than that, he remained silent and still.
This place seemed odd, but hopefully wouldn't give him headaches as Kefka often had.

A society grows great when old men plant trees whose shade they know they will never sit in.
"Ugh..."
On Cybertron
"What the hell do you think you're doing lass?" bellowed the buffalo, grabbing her by the scruff of her neck and promptly taking her- and himself in the other direction. "You really think that you can fight those things?"
"We've gotta find someplace safe from these things," he said, putting oon another burst of speed in an attempt to separate himself from the rapidly gaining platoon of drones.
Meanwhile, back at the ranch in Xanth
If the group were to follow the macabre procession of zombified creatures, they would find themselves in a rather spacious clearing- if not for the fact that the majority of it was taken up by what might charitably be called a castle. The building, if so it could be called, was a decreptit, saggy hulk of rotting limestone, surrounded by a moat filled with slime and refuse. Here, an enormous crowd of zombies of all kinds- humans, centaurs, dragons, and more exotic things besides, milled uncertainly, apparently waiting for some kind of order or leader.
"EEP!" Fluttershy squeaked as the buffalo grabbed her. She then climbed onto his back and hung on as the massive animal galloped as fast as it could away from the tanks.
"Um.....this may be a bad time to ask this, but you sound kinda familiar," the pony observed.
DAMMIT MARK, STOP HOTTING HELPY!!
"Roadbuster, remember?" said the buffalo as he continued sprinting in the other direction. "The green robot... the one who wasn't a monkey?"
"Mr. Roadbuster?" Fluttershy said in confusion. "Why are you suddenly a buffalo?" She realized something. "Wait, Mr. Link and Mr. Courier are also animals! What is going - EEK!!" The pony squeaked as another laser came uncomfortably close to her head, nearly grazing her ear.
DAMMIT MARK, STOP HOTTING HELPY!!
"I don't know what the hell is going on either," said Roadbuster grimly, "but I do know that we gotta formulate some kinda plan if we're going to beat those tanks, especially when we're... like this. You got these damn hooves all the time, how do you cope with 'em?"
"I....I don't really know!" Fluttershy said, her voice panicked now. "I've always had hooves! I never really thought about it much! I'm so sorry...." She started to cry. "I wanna go home...." he whispered desperately.
DAMMIT MARK, STOP HOTTING HELPY!!
"Of course, Satsuki-sama."
Nanoha wasn't really happy with what she found when she followed the zombies to the castle. The zombies didn't seem threatening at all, in fact they seemed pretty harmless and kind of confused. The castle itself on the other hand... Nanoha covered her nose. Whatever was filling the moat stunk pretty badly.
"... What's that smell?"
"Oh, dear. The toad, the monkey, and the dog have all screwed up."
"Less crying, more running!" growled Roadbuster, swerving into an alleyway as his hooves skidded on the pavement. "You can fly, can't you? Find the other animals and direct them here!" As he said this, a panel on his right flank burst open and shut with a painful jolt and burst of electricity. "What the..." he said, disturbed by this sudden development.
I'm Back Bitches (not really)
The Doctor covers his nose. "What is that stench?! Is it full of decomposing pies?"
To Be Updated when I'm not Lazy
Wolf Link ran along with Roadbuster and Fluttershy, paws hitting the ground in the rhythmic lope of the canine animal whose form he now took.
His new form was ...similar to his old one, although more mechanical and slightly clunkier. It hadn't been long before he had gotten the hang of this body. Why was he stuck like this?
"Come on... keep moving..." He panted.
He swerved left to avoid more drone fire, before jumping back to his original position.
"Are you okay, Roadbuster?"

In Xanth
"Uh..." The zombie muttered a collection of syllables that might have been a name, or perhaps just a groan. Whatever it was, it soon pushed onwards through the pie bush... but right behind it was a similarily grotesque zombie- this one a female. Before long, a rather putrid procession of undead marched from all around- the majority of them human, but some of them centaurs, and even one or two creatures that looked like miniature dragons. All of them more or less seemed to be ignoring th enewcomers and the strange scenery, but rather seemed to be intent on reaching something on the horizon... something that looked, actually, like a castle...

Meanwhile, On Cybertron
Roadbuster grunted as he rammed his skull into the hard metal of the tank drone- only for it to have no effect. Another drone turned and fired at the Autobot-turned-bison, the shot barely missed, singing a chunk of fur off of his backside. "Dammit!" he roared, hooves skidding on the steel as he turned to strategically fall back. "We gotta move, now!"
