From Hooves to Hands; the Dust Remains
I hate authority.
Previous ChapterNext ChapterWalker walked through the town with the two girls to meet this "Princess Celestia." He used to have no problem with authority... till the Overseer.
"Ahh, Twilight, Rainbow Dash... This must be your new, er friend. Walker was it?" She asked extending a hand to him. He just looked at it. "Alright then... So Walker, Twilight said you're from a place called America?"
Looking at her he just starred at her for a moment. "With all due respect, what the fuck is up your ass?" Everyone in the immediate area stopped and looked at him. "You seem to be uncomfortable talking to me, and I'd like to know why it seems like you'd rather be dead than right here."
Celestia looked stunned. "I- uh, what?" Was all she could manage to say.
"You heard me." He said releasing his helmet and showing his face. "Why is this a chore?"
She studied his features for a moment, then she noticed it. "What's that necklace you wear?" She wasn't trying to change the subject, but that necklace could mean something very important.
He pulled the chain and showed the holo-tags attached. "There holo-tags. They have all my basic information. I got them from the Brotherhood of Steel." That was it.
"Twilight I need to speak with you a moment." This was very bad. When they got to a good distance out of ear shot she stopped and looked down at the girl. "Twilight he isn't who you think he is, he's from another world." She told her.
Twilight looked at her mentor with a funny expression. "What do you mean? Of course he's of this world." This was the only world they had, and he didn't look like an alien.
Celestia sighed. "Twilight many years ago, while my sister was still banned, Discord tried something from his imprisonment. He sent a message to a man in another universe. The man realized what happened and tried to come to our world because he knew what would happen to his. While he was working, he found a way to our world. Before he could use his device to come here, his world was covered in nuclear fire and he was killed. Many survivors from that world found his device and have come here, many violently. I fear Walker may be from that world."
This was to much information at once. "S-s-s-so you're saying that he's from another universe, and that his world was almost destroyed." Celestia nodded. "What does this mean? Can we tell him? Can we send him back?"
She nodded no. "If we tell him I don't know what could happen, the world he's from is a bad place. People are corrupted there. I'll have Luna watch his dreams, and you try and get him to come to the Gala this year. The more we can watch him the better we know what to do."
They walked back to the others. "Walker, I am sorry for my behavior. I'm sorry but I must return back to the palace." Celestia then walked back to her carriage.
He watched her go before turning and walking back toward his campsite. The girls fallowed him closely. "So Walker, there's a Gala later this year and we'd love if you could make it." Twilight spoke.
He just huffed. "I've had bad experiences with big events. Last time I had to fight through an army of the dead to kill a man who was power hungry and had a bomb collar on my neck." They stopped and looked at him funny, he merely shrugged. "Shouldn't have been talking shit."
"Riiiiight... well what can we do to get you to come?" Twilight asked.
He thought for a moment. "Will there be food and good music?" He asked. She nodded her head. "Is there a dress code?"
"Well me and the girls usually get Rarity to make us dresses. I'm sure she could make you something like your... clothes." Twilight spoke.
"Yeah she could make something awesome!" Rainbow agreed.
He looked over his armor for a second. "Can she blend poly-Kevlar into a body armor that morphs the the wearer and can absorb laser rifle discharges?" He asked.
"I'm sure she can learn." They said in unison.
Thinking it over he finally told them to lead on. About halfway there he was tackled from behind by a blur of pink, so much fucking pink.
Atop of him was a girl wearing pink, with pink hair. "HiI'mPinkiePiebutyoucancallmePinkieareyounewbecauseIdon'trememberyouyouseemliketheguywefoundintheforestOOOhareyouhimbeca-" She was silenced by his hand over her mouth. Pushing her off he stood again.
"Who is she?" He asked them.
Twilight spoke first. "That's Pinkie Pie, she's the friendliest person in town, and friends with everyone."
Then Pinkie spoke. "I sure am, and I'm not familiar with you so you must be new! Oh oh oh! I'll throw you a welcome party!" She said before disappearing.
Walker just laughed. "Reminds me of the Stranger, except she talks a lot more." Without their leadership he began walking again.
Catching up they began to tell him about Rarity. "She's an awesome clothes designer. She's made cloth's for everyone in town and even some of the big wigs in Canterlot." They told him.
While they walked someone yelled out from behind them. "Help! I'm being robbed!" Yelled a woman infront of a flower stand.
Without missing a beat Walker turned and pulled his Sniper Rifle from his bag. Entering V.A.T.S he aimed at the man's legs. The silenced barrel let out to sweet hisses and the man fell over. Walking over he pulled out his silenced .45 and aimed.
"See here, punk. This is .45 caliber 1911. One of the most powerful handguns in the world. Other day I killed a manticore with it and didn't reload, now I know what you're thinking, 'Did he fire 7 shots or only 6?' Well in all the excitement I forgot. Seeing as this gun can blow your head clean off you've got to ask yourself one question. Do I feel Lucky? Well do ya, punk?" Walker spat at him.
Looking at the gun in Walkers hand the guy handed over the bits he stole. As Walker began to walk away the guy called out. "Hey, I got's to know." Walking back he aimed at the guys head and pulled back the hammer. With wide eyes he sat and waited for death... until he heard the reassuring 'click' come from the hand gun.
Chuckling Walker made his way to the woman and handed her the bag before making his way to Twilight and Rainbow Dash. "He just made my day." He said walking off.
"Do you do that on a daily basis? Just stop bad things like that?" Rainbow asked him . He just shrugged. "What are you, some kind of Messiah?"
