"Have you ever seen a real tree,or real grass. I`ve always wanted to, but the vault door prevents that.Twilight sparkle said to fluttershy,"We cant open the vault its to unsafe the world was destroyed by the NLR and the Eqestrian military.Theres nothing left out in the world.The vault is what keeps us safe from all of the unknown".Replied Fluttershy."Sheesh your starting to sound like the overseer".Said Twilight,"Why would you want to go outside the vault you could get yourshelf killed outhere".Replied Fluttershy."Why wouldnt you,it has an actual sun instead of these brightlights,you can also explore the world anew".Argued Twilight.She then stormed off down the long corridor angry and bored.Little did she now her chance to leave would be soon.
At first it was just random banging on the vault door then it became more aggresive,you could also hear screaming of anger and hate calling the residents to come outside so they could kill them."We need to do something"!Yelled Bonbon."I agree"!Yelled lyrah."Silence all of you"!Yelled the overseer during the vault security meeting.Then disaster struck the vault door imploded inward the security team in the area got behind cover and waited.There stood in the doorway were gaint groteste ponies."Were is everypony,we just would like to talk to you".One said while chuckling.One of the security guards stood up and took a shot at them they simply just absorbed the shots,then they started firing back tearing through the gaurds.Before an hour was up the mutants cleared through the vault.Twilight was hiding in the closet crying to hershelf saying"why is this happining".Then in the distance she heard a voice singing it sounded like the voice was coming through a mask.The voice was singing"I dont want to set the world on fire i just want to start a flame in your heart".She let out a muffled squeek,then the singing stoped.She didnt hear any footsteps so she though whoever it was was gone,then suddenly the door was slung open and she was dragged out.She felt cold metal being pressed to her head."What happened here".He ordered.She was still sobbing.He said it louder,"what happened here"."I dont know".She replied."We were attacked by something"."Well no shit".He replied.He slowly pulled the gun from her head.He then knelt down and wrapped his arms around her."Its ok stop crying".He said.He pulled off his helmet to show a mid lenght mane that was black with red stripes.His helmet was simple it had a face mask that had red eye visors.He was also wearing a black duster that has seen years of traveling."Your safe now you have nothing to worry about".He said quitley."Everyones dead and i have no one left".She whined."You should come with me to the outside world".He suggested."Whats out there".She asked."A wasteland full of muraders, savages, and just plain out things that would like to kill you".He stated."I dont know it sounds dangerous".She replied."It is, but youll have me to protect you".He said."Youll do that for me".She replied."Sure i will, im a nice stallion".He stated."Ok ill come with you".She said."Well pack your things we need to hit the road,oh another thing do you have any medical training".He asked."A little why".She replied."So you can pay back for my services,youve got to earn the salt your worth".He stated while chuckling."I knew it was to good to be free".She said while rolling her eyes.
"Before we leave put on these sunglasses it will keep the bright light out of your eyes,coming out of the vault for the first time can really strain your eyes".He said while handing her the glasses."Wait you never told me your name".She asked."They call me war, but my real name is ragnarok,so whats your name"."My name is twilight sparkle".Well twilight sparkle its nice to meet you"."same"
"So twilight did you have any family in the vault"."Yeah but a flu went through the vault,and they were unfortunate ones to die during it"."Im sorry to hear that my mother died when i was 3,and my father was murdered by raiders.After that i just grew in the wastes by myshelf and self tought my combat skills and thats why im here today"."Oh you seem to know what your doing,but what was that song you were singing earlier"."I dont know i heard it on the radio"."How is it playing without anypony starting it"."Oh there is, her name is Vinyl scratch.What i would give to meet her"."Why dont you try to"."Ive tried to but the remnant bastards wont let me in"."Who are the remnants"."Oh there this orginization of old world followers. Crazed sons of bitches if you ask me,the old world is dead and we all know it.We should get moving before the sun goes down.Its not good to be out in the open at night"."What comes out at night",Twilight said sounding scared."Alot of things that you shouldnt see.Now lets get moving,oh yeah and take this".He handed her a laser pistol."Use it only when you need to"."Thank you then"."Ok lets get going i know a place we can go for a night"."Were"."Oh youll see soon enough pulling his helmet on."Put these clothes on to before we leave ponies seeing you that you just came out of the vault will target you".She said ok while taking the clothes and changing.They then set off into the setting sun.Not looking back to the vault.Twilight felt safer next to ragnarok."So ragnarok are we there yet".Please dont do that, youll know when we get there trust me.
"There's something ive been meaning to ask you.Whats the deal with the armor where did you get it",Twilight asked."I hate to say this but i used to work for the NLR"."Whats that"."The NLR is the new lunar republic.It was created after the great war.I was a ranger you see thats how i got this armor.I devoted my entire life to them and after one mistake they kicked me to the curve"."What did you do that was so bad",asked Twilight."There was a riot on the NLR embassy, i was put in command there at the time. They wouldnt listen to reason so i gave the order to open fire, apperently hq didnt agree, and i was stripped of my rank and sent into the waste with only my armor, skills, and gun. I been wondering around ever since",he replied."Well what else do you do other than wonder around",asked twilight."i normally scavenge and do some merc work"replied ragnorok."Ok, and whats with the bottle caps"?Asked twilight."Why do you ask so many questions, but i guess you should know. These caps are the common currency. You use them to buy supplies",he replied."Oh", She started saying but was silenced with awe starring at the bright lights before her."Are were there now",she asked."Yeah, welcome to canterlot the last city still standing",he replied."Were do we go from here",she asked while still staring at the city."Theres a small pub in the city thats were we are heading to now",he stated while moving forward.
"Howdy havnt seen you in here in a while",a country sounding voice came from behind the counter,"and who is this"."Applejack this is twilight sparkle",said ragnarok."Wheres big mac at I need to see if my order is ready",he asked." Hes in the back go see if hes finnished", she replied. "Thanks, and watch her for me", he asked. About fifteen minutes later ragnarok and big mac came out laughting carrying two large crates. "What are those for",twilight asked with a questioning look."One of them is for me while the other is for a costomer",he replied."Tomarow we need to get moving"he added."Apple jack do you have any rooms opened",he asked."We have one open"she replied."Well take it, so twilight the room ive got some buisiness to take care of first",he replied walking towards a cards table.
The next morning twilight awoke to find ragnarok asleep on the floor with a bottle of booze spilled next to him."Are you ok",twilight asked nudging him. He woke up with a jolt unholstoring his pistol, and firing it wildly around. Twilight hit the ground covering her head. Ragnarok finnally fell to the floor mumbling to himself, he fell asleep once again. Twilight stood up from were she fell to."Are you ok now",sha asked."Were am I. Oh shit we have to go",he yelled out jumping up.
