Fallout Equestria: Left To Rot(canceled for a reboot)

It was a sunny day in Ponyville.  Ponies was cheerfully doing their businesses and everyone's happy. Everyone's was doing their jobs except me. Let me introduce myself.  I'm a kind of unicorn. My cutie mark, well, I don't have it.  I have a brownish mane and my coat is kinda orange.  Therefore the nickname "Orange" .

I live in a small house near the sugar-cube corner. Generations of my family have lived here so the house is fairly old. My name is Lightning Flicker and My daily routines is sleeping, working, eating and again sleeping because what else can a colt like me do?

   Since almost nothing in Ponyville breaks or need a "refresh of gears" I spend much of my lazy time(when of course I'm not busy sleeping) to at least try helping ponies with their things.  It isn't that I have a bad case of "need to help everyone so everyone is happy" but I just want to see them smile, that's all. You know, moving stuff, helping with farms even though I'm not an earth pony and not so strong I try, and it seems to pay off. This way I've gotten a lot of friends and contacts.

"Well", I thought. "I better move my gray fat ass from the ground and go do something that DOESN'T involve being lazy and gaining fat". I've gotten tired of laying lazy like a cat and to not do anything worth my time. So i walked out and saw a big package standing on my doorstep.

Well, i took it in and opened it. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. There, I'm the box lied a bluish armor with a note next to it. I picked it up and started reading the letter,

“Dear Lightning.

I know we haven't spoken for years but now, lying in my bed waiting for my time to come I just want you to have the item that I've carried since the Great Pony war. Don't try to find me because when you get this letter I'm probably dead. Lightning, dear, PLEASE take care of it and love it as I took care of you and loved you.

I love you Lightning. Remember that.

All the love

Your dad"

I burst up in a wild cry. My own dad. DEAD! I didn't know how to react. Mom died years before I left my dad. In fact it was his idea to let me go, to let me explore the pony world we live in.

I stared down at the armor, trying to wake up from what I hoped was a dream. It was pointless.

I tried out my dad's armor and it fitted surprisingly perfect. I thought of taking a walk with it, getting used to it. I looked into the mirror. It had a star in the front and had a nice blue color, the same as the armor. Such a nice armor, i thought.  It's a rare one as well. Not many of those are left after the war. In fact Celestia ordered to destroy all of these for some strange reason.  I asked myself, could they have a secret? Is that why she wanted them destroyed?

I took off the armor and shook away the thought of going outside with it.  It seemed pretty stupid now, considering that she thought it was destroyed.

I went to my bedroom and laid it down in my closet and closed it.  I needed some fresh air so I went out for a walk. The first thing i noticed was that it was darker than usual, but i ignored it and started walking towards the forest.  It felt kinda warmer than usual.  It started to bother me because it was already October and it usually was pretty cold. Weird, i said quietly. It shouldn't be so warm this time of the year.

So i went deeper into the forest,  enjoying the environment and the atmosphere of this calm and peaceful place.  Or, it was at least calm until i saw the bloody pony laying next to a tree. Carefully i walked closer to it. Are you ok?, i asked. No response.  I then noticed that the pony wasn't breathing nor reacting in any way to me. I backed away from the dead pony.

“No...why?”

I had so many questions going around in my head,  that i hoped to get an answer on.

I took a closer look at the dead pony.  It was an earth pony because it didn't had wings nor horn. I took a closer look at the bloody face, little to close because suddenly,  the dead earth pony opened it's eyes and stared at me, into my soul.
