Fallout Equestria: Prance

("I think, there for i am")

*** *** ***

I slowly walked through the damp and cold cave. I had just walked out of my stable. And a  few minutes later the huge metal door automatically closed shut, taking away the option of going back. Outside the stable door, was a long hollowed out Cave as dark as a rats ass and so I turned on my pipbuck light. I had been in this cave for a while now just trying to find my way out, then in the distance I could make out a faint light. I quickly ran towards it (desperate just to get out) nearly tripping over rocks as I made my way towards it. The light got larger and brighter; as I got closer. Once at the light I looked up and saw a ladder leading towards the light, gently and carefully I pulled myself on to the first stare in the ladder and began climbing making sure that each step wouldn't give out, so with a light tap I checked each step; once I felt that it was safe I continue to climbing.

When I reached the top of the ladder I saw where the light was coming from, a sewer disc. Wait! stable Tec: built are stable in a sewer? either that's the dumbest thing I've ever heard, are the smartest. But either way it obviously worked and also obviously! I just walked through 200 year old shit! But back to the topic at hoof, I gently pushed the disc but quickly realized that I would need to add more force to this physical equation (ha ha) so I did so. The disc had needed to be roughly removed thanks to all that rust that build up over the millennia's. But once it was off light what did my eyes, and I needed to drink a few times to get used to my new surroundings. The stable had apparently been built in the middle of a city because all around me I could see long busted street lights, hollowed out buildings pathetic to there former selfs. I lifted myself out of the sewer and brushed my self off with a hoof. One thing came to my mind: "Find Paris" and that's what I set out to do.

I trotted over towards the closest building I saw; "Guns & Defense". I shrugged my shoulders and went inside. The store was empty besides the trash that littered the floor also mold, and rust, everywhere the eye could see. The only light in the room was the light shining through the store frames window which had long then shot out. I moved over to the back of the counter and saw a terminal, to my immense surprise it looked operational? So I begin trying to access it.

The store made a killing today thanks to all these nervous ponies,  overreacting because the zebras made some kind of threat to Equestria and her allies which means us. But Prance is perfectly fine we have the Prench royal Legion guard, and even then those zebras wouldn't dare to attack us, its just a bluff. But even so I am raking in the bits, and just to be safe, not that I'm scared! are worried but I merely I am doing this because everypony else is doing it *awkward chuckle*.

But I put a brand new 44. Magnum and the safe underneath the counter with of course plenty of ammo. (not that I'm worried of course).

I got the 44. Magnum out of the safe and the ammo, after looking around the store for any other useful supplies (which I found none of) I made my way outside the store again. looking around it appeared I had two ways to go I could either go up Street where I saw in the distance a large building with a humongous bottle on top of it, or down street where there appeared to be ponys running and shooting at me wait...What!

Indeed there were ponies shooting at me! I quickly to cover behind a wall of the alleyway *Blam* a piece of cobblestone was shot off from the wall by my head. Ok let me think! I'm outnumbered, outgunned, and out skilled that's a fact. But maybe if I=

*Boom!..Boom!..Boom!*

After the barrage of grenades ( at least they sounded like grenades, from my audio files) there was silence....

I moved my head around the corner, and saw only smoke but then it started to fade and slowly trotting towards me we're five stallions dressed in forest camo from there black boots to their outfit. and they all wore red Brett's, with a small Prench flag on the side of their hats. I was still on edge after being attacked for the first time in my life so I pulled my gun close and cocked the firing mechanism. They all apparently heard it because they stopped in her tracks, the one who appeared to be there leader who looked about the same besides a blue Brett, came out and lowered his gun which appear to be a pre war "FAMAS= service rifle" and told the rest of his team to do the same, which they complied. He slowly walked towards me, I instantly lifted my gun at him, he stopped and smiled.

"So this is how you treat your rescuers" the pony asked in a sarcastic tone.

I lowered my gun a bit and asked "Who are you?".

Completely ignoring my question the military styled Pony got closer and complimented my gun "That's a nice 44. you got there, how do you require that gun" he raise an eyebrow almost as if wondering how a pony dressed in a latex suit could get something that great.

But I wasn't about to be ignored "Answer my question first, then I'll answer yours!" I brought my gun up again.

He just laughed and nodded "well ok then, bon giorno my name is Platinum Vienna but you can just call me General: Vienna of the PRL (Prench. Royal. Legion) we are the remains of what's left of the Prench military force.

I waited for him to continue but he didn't I nodded for him to continue but he just shook his head and smiled at me "no.. no we had a deal you next".

I groaned an annoyance but realized he was right, and I am a pony of my word "I got it from that store over there" I tilted my head towards the shop. " it was in a safe and didn't take me long to open".

Vienna raised an eyebrow "You do know that gun stores from the old world have some of the hardest safes to open".

I just shrugged "Wasn't that hard  I open the terminal in there too" I said as if it was nothing. But Vienna eyes widen and surprise so did the rest of his stallions.

"You did! well what was on it"

Now I raised an eyebrow "Well... just an old audio file"

Commander: Viennas face turned to disappointment but smiles all the same "So I'm guessing that you're good terminals and lock picking"

I put my gun back in my saddle bag "Yea that was kind of my things back in the stable".

His interest was restored and a chuckle escaped his lips "That would explain it".

I was in confusion "Explain what?"

He just ignored me and beckoned me to follow him and his troops, they turned around and started trotting off, I followed thim pretty sure that I could trust them and confident that sticking with them was safer then moving alone.... Oh what the hell, I will find Paris later.
