Fallout New Vegas....with Ponies

      The group, and I were in the penthouse gathering supplies for our trip. They said they lived in someplace called Equestria....were everyone is a pony. I really think they're loosing it. I just zipped up the last pack, and helped Pinkie put it on. I was expecting her to struggle a bit like Rainbow whom was hardly even able to stand after putting her bag on, but nope Pinkie seemed to carry it as if it weren't even there.....either she's really strong, or she's really good at faking ease...I'm going with the first one.

      "All right girls" I was wearing my T-51b power armor now, and my anti-material rifle was disassembled still, and now residing in my pack for I was now holding my old laser rifle. It was a little beat up, but I thought it just made it look all the more awesome "ready to head out? Or do you girls wanna check out Vegas more?"

"The sooner we get home the better." said Rainbow still straining under the packs weight "um can I get a lighter pack please?" she fell over onto her back shortly after finishing her sentence. I sighed, and helped her to her feet, and removed her pack lightening the load, and them handing it back to her. "Thanks.."

"No problem" I said putting the equipment, and loading it into my pack. "Okay Veronica you set?" I asked my ex-brotherhood companion who was sitting on a couch in the room tinkering with something.

      "Oh yeah just waiting for your cue to leave." she said getting up "Let's go boys and girls!" she grabbed her displacement glove off the couch and slipped it on flexing her fingers then walking over to the elvator.

"But I need to hit the penthouse first...I have a surprise for you two." I said pointing to Pinkie, and Rainbow who looked between themselves apprehensively "Relax it's not that kind of surprise it's actualy a gift, and I know your gonna love it!"

      When we got to the penthouse I made a bee-line for the main computer. It was humongous, but we weren't here to see that no there was now a table with a large white cloth covering it, and two small bulges could be seen in the cloth. "Go ahead girls take off the cloth." I said gesturing with my hand to the table.

They approached the table a bit warily at first, but they did unveil their little gifts. Sitting on the table were two Pip-boy 3000's glove included. Their jaws dropped "What....what are these?" asked Rainbow Dash picking one up, and examining it.

       "That my dear Dashie is a Pip-boy 3000 wrist mounted super computer, map, and vitals checker. It has a Heads Up Display, a radar, and a V.A.T.S feature." I answered "Just clasp it on then slide on the glove."

Rainbow did just that, but yelped "It just bit me!" she said glaring at it.

      "No it just connected itself to your nervous system." I corrected."It injected a needle into your arm, and is currently integrating itself to better assist you. The skin under the Pip-boy will be itchy for a while, but that'll pass."

Pinkie was the next to pick hers up, and place it on. Cringing when the needle dug into her skin, but she held on. Then slipping on the glove she saw the screen light up as did Dash's. The screen read their names right below the picture of vault boy. They were level one, tend their title was 'Equestrian Hero'. "It's actually pretty cool." commented Rainbow "Hey what are perks? My Pip-boy says something about perks."

      I cleared my throat "Perks are basically little upgrades you can obtain by 'leveling up'. Basically when leveling up the Pip-boy will target a part of your brain, and make you better at a certain skill. Every even number level you can select a perk. They are like skills only a thousand times as effective. Take my bloody mess perk for example. Occasionally when I kill someone they will expload into gore." I tought them "Just turn that little knob, and take a look at your perks."

      First I took a look at Rainbows perks. She had some perks I've never seen before. The first was a perk labeled 'Academy Training' it read Your time in the Wonderbolts academy has really toughened you up. Adds 20% to sneak, unarmed, speech, and barter. Also add 2 too agility, charisma, and endurance. The next one was called '20% cooler' it read Due to your awesome personality all speech based, and attack based stats are now better by 20% Lastly 'Element of Loyalty' it read Being the element of loyalty you no longer can harm those in your party. "Nice perk setup. Now to yours Pinkie"

      Her first perk was 'Wild Wasteland' I don't believe I need to explain that one. The second was called 'Inner Demons' it read  Due to your mental state being slightly shattered you have a 5% chance in combat for your alter ego 'Pinkamenia' to rear her ugly head adding 25 to melee weapons skill Wow....creepy. Anyway the last one was called 'Pinkie senses' it read Due to your Pinkie sense you can never be snuck up on. Maximizes perception. "Good setup as well....though inner demons is quite scary."

"Sorry....." Pinkie sad drooping her head.

      "Hey lighten up you didn't pick yours like I did. Besides it's only a 5% chance." I reassured her getting a smile.

"Thanks Greggie." she said "That helps....a lot." she turned the knob back to the vital screen. "Now should we head out, or do you have more to show us?"

"Well we would have a stop before this, but I think we can pass it up....TO ADVENTURE!" I yelled dashing to the elevator as fast as I could wearing power armor Veronica close behind, and the girls jogging over.

In The Wastes Rainbows POV

      I've only seen the wasteland for a few moments back before I was captured, and I must say....it looked like shit. The sidewalks were cracked, and dusty. The air was hazy, and the sky was a greenish grey, with a bit of blue here, and there. Even though most if the water was pure a whole lot of it was irradiated. Why couldn't the universe have dropped us off at happy fun land? Well at least it was warm it was the middle of winter back in Equestria, and it was annoying to have to sit by the fire for several hours straight trying to get warm every time I get home. "This place looks sad." I commented.

"Yeah nuclear warfare does that to places." said Greg though it sounded muffled, and slightly robotic from behind his power armor. "It's been 200 years and the world has just started to heal."

      Once night fell we took shelter in a abomdoned shack, and lit a fire outside. Greg was cooking a spit of meat (despite saying we were vegetarian to which his response was "Tough") I'll admit as a pony the smell of cooking meat was disgusting, but my new form found it's smell appetizing. After a while I agreed to at least try it. Pinkie was content on eating some chocolate cakes. The box labeled them as 'Fancy Lads Snack Cakes'.

When the meat was done Greg handed me the spit saying "I don't eat much." I asked him why, but he didn't answer. I took a bite out of the meat....it was delicious. Pretty soon I had finished the spit, and was laying beside my marefriend watching the stars. "I'm going to see what I can scavenge from the shack be right back." he said, but my eyes were heavy and soon I was fast asleep.

      I was only asleep for a few minuets only to awake with a machete held to my throat. I yelped only for my mouth to be clamped shut by a gloved hand. The man hoisted me to my feet, and tossed me to the unconsious forms of Veronica, and Pinkie. On the ground I got a good look at my new captors. They were wearing strange helmets with a metal plume on the top, but their faces were exposed. Their armor was only a red cloth like substance with some pads on it. One guy had a flag pole attached to his back on the flag was a red bull. One of them had an assault rifle he approached us and said "You'll be coming with us. You are slaves now so get used to following orders!" he pointed his gun at me, and his buddy with the flag whom was wielding a 10mm pistol grabbed me by the arm, and pulled me up. It hurt, and he obviously didn't care for my well being.

      He locked a pair of chain cuffs, and a collar of sorts on me as well as my friends. I was looking around trying to get a glimps of Greg, but saw nothing. Despair seeped into me. I was captured again, and Greg wasn't here to bust me out! They had taken my pistol so I was unarmed. Veronica seemed to specialize in unarmed combat, but she was out cold so that wasn't going to help. We were duped.

My POV The Shack

      At the very sight of those legion fucks my blood boiled. If it wasn't for my stealth boy I'd've been seen by now not that it would be a problem....if I was going solo that is, but they had my friends, and that alone was enough to make me angry.....I drew my .44 magnum and whispered under my breath "For you my little girl...." I walked out of the shack still cloaked watching them take my allies away. I aimed at the man with the assault rifle, and eased the trigger. The gun kicked back followed by a loud bang, then the man exploded into gore God I love bloody mess. Before they could react Veronica's eyes shot open. She'd been faking it the whole time. She grabbed the rifle from the ground, and slammed the butt of the gun in the machete wielders face the followed by pumping him with lead.

I walked up to the man with the pistol he had dropped it "Please....don't hurt me! I have a family!" he pleaded he was young probably had just been recruited.

      "So did my little girl but your men didn't care back then now did they...." I grabbed the machete from the ground "now I'm just repaying you fucks....one at a time." I slashed the mans throat, and continued to hack at the body until Rainbow pulled me back. I was still fuming with rage until Rainbow, and Pinkie gave me a hug....I don't get many of those.

       "Please....please calm down." pleaded Pinkie, and my gaze softened. I dropped the blade, and got to work removing their collars, and bindings when that was done we looted, and disposed of the legionaries, and then Pinkie asked me a question. "You said you had a little girl before.....what happened to her?"

I cringed and she flinched. I let out a sigh "I suppose I should tell someone.....gather around group this is a rather long tale..."

My POV A Few Years Ago

      I kicked a legate straight through the wall of a house in Nipton. I had returned here on the task on finishing up the legion. I tracked this guy here. Him and his group had slaughtered the newly repopulated township....again, and I was teaching him a lesson. He scrambled for his knife, but I punched his ribcage open, and he fell limp. I shook the worst of the gore off my hand, and wiped the rest on my ranger armor's jeans. I was grabbing a fancy looking gun from his corpse when I heard crying coming from the cabinet across the room. I pocketed the gun, and approached "Hello?" I asked softly causing the crying to stop "Hey I'm here to help...I'm a friend."

      "Where is my daddy?" she asked a little choked up I flinched a bit not wanting her to know what had come to be of the inhabitants of the town...but she had a right to know.

"The legion killed him....he's dead." I answered, and the girl inside the cabinet began to sob again. My heart bled for the little girl I wanted no needed to help her so I picked  the lock on the cabinet. Inside was a little Caucasian girl her brown hair was messy, and her eyes bloodshot from crying. She was wearing a grimy old pre-war dress, and and equally grimy sock hat.

      I did what I thought was right, and gave her a hug. She accepted it, and wept into my shoulder. As night fell I took her away from that god forsaken town. I later learned her name was Sarah, and we traveled for many years.

Three Years Later

      Sarah, and I were sitting in front of a campfire in the middle of the wastes listening to 'I don't want to set the world on fire' over my Pip-boy. It was her favorite song, and it was her thirteenth birthday so why not. "So wanna see what I got you for your birthday Sarah?" I asked her.

"Yes yes yes yes!" she said clapping her hands. I dug into my bag, and pulled out a small suit of combat armor I had made for her. She smiled as I helped her put it on. When I did she said "Now I look even cooler!". Her armor was a set of miniature, dark red combat armor with the letters 21 printed on the right breast of the armor. I ruffled her head shifting her sock hat, but she just straightened it back on. She gave me a big hug "Thank you so much!".

Later that night

      I awoke with a pounding headache in what looked to be a small arena. I tried to stand only to find myself tied to a pole "Whoever this is I think you should know I'm not into bondage!" I shouted looking around trying to spot Sarah, but seeing no trace except her sock hat which was laying on the arena floor. "WHO EVER YOU ARE IF YOU HARMED A HAIR ON MY LITTLE GIRLS HEAD I WILL END YOU!" I shouted into the air. I heard the arena doors open, and turned to look. I saw a bunch of legionaries dragging a unconscious, and partially nude Sarah....oh no they didn't if they did what I thought they did they were in for a world of pain! The tossed her to the ground in front of me.

"This is just a message for all who oppose the legion." he said drawing a 9mm handgun from his belt. I was preying he would aim at me anyone, but my girl....but no such luck. He blew her brains out right in front of me....everything went red, and next thing I know I'm sobbing over her corpse soaked in blood. I buried her in Goodsprings's cemetery, and pledged myself to killing every last fucking Leigonare left in the wasteland of the U.S.A!

Present Time my POV

      "No you know......" I said picking myself up, and walking over to my sleeping bag, curling up, and crying myself to sleep.
