A whole new world (Game)

As Insight moved ever closer towards the shelter, a subtle noise behind him caught his attention, and he realised, in shock, that the strange figure had appeared behind him. Turning his attention back at where it was before, he noted that that spot was empty. Was it teleportation? Extreme speed? Now wasn't the time to think about it. He just tried to avoid its unsettling gaze as far as possible and continue moving towards the shelter, praying that it wasn't hostile. And then he noticed another one of those sickly green ponies, and stopped in his tracks. Now what?

He looked around, not quite sure what to do. He eventually settled on moving forward still, waiting to see how the green pony would react to his advance.

Sugary was practically relying on hit-and-back away tactics with the zombies(zombies, right?) while urging for Fantasy to move along with him. "See any more archers, raise the shield. Don't see any, raise it anyway. We need to hold out!" He simply could not leave Fantasy alone, but he also could not dive into battle with her too roughly, so he was forced to play more defensively. He did have one trick up his sleeve he could use well though: Since he could easily carry his shield with levitation, he figured he had one good way to attack well both near and far while keeping guarded.

Being adept in combat, he held his shield with his hoof, held the mace with levitation instead, and brought out one Steel Spear to wield with the other hoof to try and stab away at the zombies while keeping a tad more distance from them while doing so, and swinging the mace telekinetically towards any skeleton archers that happened to be near enough; Otherwise, he'd just bash and stab the zombies with both weapons while guarding with the shield.

As Insight got closer to the makeshift shelter, the zombie pony eventually took notice and began moving towards him with a slow steady gait and the occasional moan escaping it's blocky mouth. When it got to the edge, the creature simply walked off the edge as if it made no difference. It landed on it's hooves flatly, flashed red for a second and then continued walking towards Insight.

Sugary's tactic seemed to be working fairly well at keeping the zombies back for now, their slow attacks never landing when confronted with the longer reaching spear and telekinetically held mace. With Fantasy, they were managing to hold their own fairly well but the creatures simply continued charging forward, and the numbers seemed to be getting greater.
