On another scorching hot day in the Mojave wasteland at the big mountain research facility more commonly known as known as the Big empty, an on one of the tallest remaining towers in the center of the ex mountain research facility, stood the sink and a top it balcony Stood a large black power armored humanoid that stood vigilant over it`s home, the armor was black as the darkest night.
{ armor info the armor itself is composed of relatively lightweight metal alloys, it is further reinforced with ceramic castings at key stress points. The motion-assist servo-motors that are used in the armor are extremely high-quality unites as well, giving the wearer a large strength bonus. The suit did have a auto-gyro system to keep it upright and the knees can be locked in position, to prevent the wearer from falling over, if they loses consciousness (i.e. takes a nap) on duty. Additionally, like the T-51b, it includes a recycling system that can convert waste liquids into drinkable water, enhancing survival of the user}.
This creature has stood up against the test of time, fighting Caesars legion, the elite troopers of the New California Republic and hordes of the most vile creatures that walk the wastes. From deathclaws to tunnelers they have all fallen by its hand . its black power armored form is a monument to the sins of humanity,
it has walked side by side of the courier and fought for a free vegas for peace and safety of it inhabits she has survived all of the challenges and obstacles that the mojave has thrown at it, thought some ghost refuse to simply die, It bares the scars and the memoirs of the horrors of the waste. During Its time being at big mountain had given quests by the think tank it has seen some of the true horrors of what science can do. As its mind thought back to the event that gave it trademarked armor that she uses to its full extent.
FLASHBACK 2 years prior
In the X-8 facility having to clear the mutated pets within the facility I had tried to move some of the ruble in one of the old passages the sounds of the ruble moving is like a crackling fire mixed with a deep rumble but after moving the rubble, I continued thought the old structure. To think no one has been here since the collapse of the hallway the lab is large room the many consoles broken or destroyed but one is still workable there were side doors on both side all of them were closed about 6 on each side of the room. as I moved to get to the console I noticed the smell it is like the medical research facility that old and odd combination of disinfectant, death, dust and bad body odor. the many side doors are tempting to see where they go. So much knowledge wasted because of collapses,accidents or to other means by the time I made it to the console. I have seen three sets of skeletal remains of humans and without haste or fear I walked past them, to think before all of this I was terrified of such things haha.
I laugh at such an idea now. But as I made it to the machine a door to the right opens with a creaking noise to a dark room I grabbed my modded laser rifle off of my back with my magic I aimed with practised eased but nothing came out. I moved slowly to the computer all the while covering the door incase something was in the room. From what's on the computer I have stumbled upon an ancient pre-war technology used on humans soldiers to turn them into war machines disgusted but Curious I walked into the opened door of the training simulators and the door behind slammed closed and locked itself.
As I turned foreword as I sensed the all consuming darkness of machinery and the alteration devices the room smelled of old blood and disinfectant . Now before I could force the door open with my magic a loud noise behind me made me jump a white light was now on the light shined on a large round grey pedestal curious I step onto the pedestal in the center of the room then suddenly shackle sprang from the pedestal and clacked on to my ankles. Large claws grabbed my hands, as a operating table came from behind and latched onto my back and a collar surrounded my throat and it started to tighten the lack of air hit me fast it was choking me but all of a sudden it stopped tightening around my throat it was very still tight and it was difficult to breath. I tried to move any part of my body but terrifying I could not move at all the shakes prevented even the most basic movement! I tried to use my powers but a throbbing pain erupted through my skull but before I could see the problem the machine moved closer to the place i was tied to the operating table slowly slid back till i was in a laying position the machines finished closing in on me. I could not move at all! As the machines surrounded me I thought
“ look where your Curiosity got you now shackled and chained in a small room on a dead world about to be turned into a machine in the big empty all because of your Curiosity dam”.
A buzzing sound startled me as a blade came down and cut off my armor of me. thin the old leather armor was then pulled off me by robotic arms and dragged into the darkness the cold table sent shivers through my spine. a needle slowly came into view it suddenly stabbed me in my throat the world seemed to slow down and darkening. But in an instant the pain came flooding into my mind and the would brighten for me to see all the needles in my body and the massive tubes coming from the ceiling to the needles I saw the black liquid Quickly filling the needles. I started to scream the the pain came flooding in to me the feeling and as my bones became as hard as titanium it felt like my bones as if the marrow was made of glass and was being shattered over and over again the devices whirred and buzzed. the feeling of glass shattering and being worked into my body made me scream louder and try to move bad idea. The sudden feeling of My skin and veins were being filled with napalm and sett alight. As my muscles grew stronger the sounds of the machines grew into a high pitched screech that defied me. As more machines approached me, a large dome shaped helmet quickly fastened itself to my head just barely clearing my horn.
Now completely paralyzed, my mind was Assaulted visions that the strange dome helmet was sending me. These visions of mine were of other wars of American history. Now watching the gore filled battlefield before me I wondered if I was still in a simulation. Then distinctively out of nowhere Ulysses image came to my mind. "An old friend" I thought to myself. Ulysses was now speaking to me, "war never changes, people do... through the paths they walk."
{ AN i know that the lonesome road is after big MT but just accept this OK it all will be explained later OK}
no POV
as the pain grew worse a machine previously unseen approached her neck to implant a control chip into the base of the skull, but suddenly the sealed door was then blown open and in step the one and only Shepard [aka the courier] as he raised his gun with the speed and grace of a true gunslinger and shot the machine with his weathered 10mm he remembered how he learned of this mess.
FLASHBACK SHEPARD POV [POINT OF VIEW]
As I cleared the last of the course in the high school test the Think Tank came on the speakers and
Dr. Klein said "lobotomite you pet has opened and entered the lost advance weapon and tactic testing wing of x8 and it may find something it should not se"...then he was interrupted by 8
"4$& %^*$ &%#^*&#^&($^"
"what it has entered the heavy shock trooper training center and has been sealed in if you want to save it you must hurry, but do not stop the machines only destroy the control chip or it shall be here for ever!" screamed Dr. Klein as I put the petal to the metal, I sprinted to the area that they direct me to as I got to the door I realized with a start, I would have to blow a single C4 charge should work I thought/hoped. And it did I moved in fast and used the V.A.T.S or [The Vault-Tec Assisted Targeting System,]
and shot the arm with the chip on it, then I got “comfy” to watch the machines finish what they have started and I began to silently curse my own stupidity for allowing her to go anywhere alone.
RETURN TO TWILIGHT'S POV
The gunshots, and explosions were getting louder I thought as the visions were getting bloodier, the pain has slowly eased and my scream has long since died down leaving me in a painful and hoarse silence my throat but then the helmet began showing glowing brighter and louder when I opened my eyes I was being helped up by a large black man his hair was buzzed and was as dark as coal then he spoke in a deep brass male voice
"wake up maggot we got commies to kill"
the room we were in reminded me of the army barracks me and Shepard saw in the divide the walls were a dark green the floors were wood the four windows were closed and looked from the looks of it locked but before I could see more the man dragged me to a room marked armory the man yelled
"get in your armor or else"
he then pointed to a set of jet black power armor, and left. [to describe the armor look at the pic i chose for the cover art but if anyone is a artist then tell me
and ill commission a better picture ]
as I tried to put it on I was surprised that it fit me perfectly and my “blush” assets even the helmet fit my large head it even had a hole for my horn! after putting it on the cold and thought lighter then I guessed it was still pretty heavy I guessed the armor was made out of saturnite alloy. Then the black man then appeared in the same armor then he took me to another area and said ''you armament is a new Gatling laser design that incorporates the power of plasma based weapons while maintaining the rate of fire of a laser based weapon. the helmet will give you a cross-hair and ammo count, but with the new mark 17A back pack the power transfer rate is extremely high, also you don't have to worry about overheating that won't be a problem anymore because of the inner turbine in between the barrels of the weapons as they spin air is brought through this filter into the gun to cool it down the backpack itself is power by a zero point energy field manipulator '' he explained as said device was attached to my back. Then he said "also both are made of a new space age alloy it is nearly unbreakable which is also the reason it is so light'
“my ass” I thought, as I picked up the Gatling laser.
as he continued to speak the armor systems appeared in between the eye holes and the hole for my horn. It speeds by at a rate I can't understand it finished quickly and he said
” it's booted up, helmet will now connect to the weapon where you look is where they will kill. the helmet will connect to your central nervous system tor”
he stopped. Suddenly a new feeling entered my body he started again
" it seems that you are a member of program 935. The telekinetic powers work then I shall include it in to you training”. my mind wondered what did he mean telekinetic powers? Did he mean my magic? And what training will I get.
back to the future
But before I could go deeper into my mind,
Dr. Klein spoke "Are you ready for it?"
I turned and looked at the brain
"yes"
I said it is the time to go home back to Ponyville, back to my friends, back to equestria, back to the boring life as a bookworm the local wiz pony
but will they accept the new me A survivor one that has killed many many time? I don't know but there is only one way to figure it out. "hmm I wonder how much has change probably not much" much later I would giggle at how wrong I was.
