Chapter 1: A new beginning
War war never changes.
"Unless they threw a party full of pan cakes with strawberry syrup!"
Over 2000 years ago, a peaceful land of ponies was in ruins after the war between the zebras, there was nothing left for peace anymore. There was violence and there was misery and there was fear of knowing that one day your not going to open your eyes for another day of hurt.
There was many tales stories of heroes that once did the right fight for every pony in the wasteland, many heroes died fighting, many others went insane or turn into food because of the wasteland we all live in.
This is a story of a unstable pony who's life will soon turn around, the misery the violence never bothered him for he is no other then Ray.
I sometimes wonder what was life after all of this mess happened? If it never did will I ever had a chance of this so called peace and happiness?
It was ridiculous! There is no peace and happiness in this world anymore, we all fight for our lives that's the only thing that matters now. As we all image I'm thinking about this through my head since I'm insane and half paranoid left and right about things you can't blame me.
My hooves kicked a rock that bounce across the dirt and sand that was once grass and trees I suppose, scattered skeletons of all different species lay around the ruin grounds, looking ahead there was a shape of ruin tall buildings. Ahh yes again we meet at last! my favorite city I always enjoyed when I was a filly. "Tall Tale" you can say that this city used to be a very very busy state of it's own, mother used to tell me stories about our home after the bombs was about to fall on us. "Ooh dear I remember back when carts moved left and right between the roads it was hard to even cross through them without getting hit by one!" Yeah I remember that part very well, guessing she didn't knew much after the bombs fell on us.
Some say Tall Tale's never wanted any part of the war that was going on between Equestria and the zebras, by my own case tall tales did the right thing but after the tragic incidents with little horn for special gift unicorns all hell broke loose, Officials and governments that follow under the princesses of Equestria forced every states to come together and fight against the zebras. Now don't get me wrong I don't think every state was forced but I think a lot of pony states did join the fucking government but I think our state was being forced mostly... Did I say fucking?
Working businesses turn into recruit stations, Medical centers turn into military personnel stations. You can say we were the last to be bombed since the zebras found out we were hardly a threat since Tall Tales never did anything at all but took care of soldiers that was hurt and send more fresh troops in the front lines in order of princess Celestia.
That's all I knew about the past that used to be Equestria you can say. "Damn I can't wait to meet up with my friends hehehe" I know I'm a grown up but image a grown colt giggling like a filly in glee, yeah I'm that bad of a insane person. Walking down hill I can see some raider and a filly beside her chatting with a grown stallion that looked very tried and damage, I'm not a nose in jars but I wonder what their chatting about.
I press a ear piece that's underneath the fully coat jacket that was covering my ear, the device lets me hear far and wide which is awesome! Now for it to work I must look at the ponies I wanna hear annnnnnd there! "Bullet Hole You can't Be serious about this!" I lay there making sure I wasn't in sight as I watch the raider name bullet hole yelling at the grown stallion. "LISTEN I'M GONNA GO BACK TO MY HOME TOWN AND I'M TAKING SLUG WITH ME!" Holy crap I think I pee myself! This raider wasn't insane or anything but judging by her looks, Pink mane orange body red eyes. Yeah I think she isn't a most raider "I'm gonna eat your tentacles" type.
There was a filly I'm guessing his name is slug by the yelling bullet hole was giving to the poor guy. gray skin, blonde hair, golden eyes. a stable uniform? My eye brow twitch underneath my clothing's, It's not like you can see it stupid hehehe anyways back to the real deal here! I have to admit their armor is okay and impressive but I'm not going to take my chance with them Nope!
I got up and started walking on the road that was leading straight a head of Tall Tale's, today was pretty boring walking around the wasteland hope to find anything really awesome I suppose "I just want to be I just want to be successful" I quietly sing to myself of a unknown catchy song in my head I made up, bored but happy at least hehe.
Looking on my right I saw a colt and mare pulling a metal mine cart on another road I think it was a mine cart right? He was wearing a trench coat with fancy hat and the mare lbeside him walking and talking about waking up- whoa shes looking pretty as ever! When's the last time I ever saw a really pretty mare before? My thoughts felt blank and I couldn't really think of anything besides tall tales that was ahead of me but I shrugged. Wait a minute is that pony sleeping on junks on top of that mine cart oh forget it! This wasteland is all crazy anyways it doesn't matter to me! Hehe did I mention he had a funny tie.
The entrance was guarded by sentry guns and Terrence and two security guards I knew fully well back in my days hehehe it's good to see them again. "Stop right there" the body builder looking tall stallion said roughly. "What is your business here with Tall Tales" the other colt said lightly and seems to have a hint of boredom in his tune. "Well well well if it ain't Charlie top's and his brother Redstone Haven" I giggled as the two security guards expression turn into shock knowing full well about my voice. "R-Ray!?" Charlie looked at me bottom to top confuse like before looking at redstone who wasn't much of a 'face expression' pony. But I knew deep down in him he was shock too.
"Is good to see you Ray, it's been nearly 2 years not seeing you around Tall Tale's" I smiled brightly underneath the mask and nodded with glee again. "Good to see you too my friends now ain't you two gonna open that old gate for your good old pal Ray!" I cheerfully asked them loudly which in return they open the gate. "Ray I've been meaning to tell you something.. did you find anything awesome out there in Wasteland?" I look at him for a moment silently before smiling widely again and giggled. "Of course I have!" I walked inside and yelp in pain as millions of voices and sounds started striking my ear. "ugh! Dammit I forgot to turn it off again did I?" Pressing the device in my ear area, everything went less loudly and more normal. "Okay I need to remember to turn it off before entering cities before my brain blows up pan cakes with some yummy strawberry syrup" walking along streets and stores with a lot of ponies walking by, carrying big to small guns and big armor too! "This was awesome and I love it here in tall tales!" I stopped and realize I yelled that out excitedly as Everypony turn and looked at me. "Uhhh... Yeah.. Wooho.. Just.. Good old tall tales... Heh.. Heh.." They all rolled their eyes and started doing whatever was best for them, whipping away invisible sweat from my forehead. "That was really embarrassing..." I mumbled softly.
All my life tall tales was pretty much a normal trading station throughout The wasteland besides some broken buildings that need some clearing out of radioactive ghouls And skyscraper laying on top of other buildings as if hugging wasn't enough fun. "lol" I said loudly and walked towards a store called technology repairs. Days gone by nights and nights gone by days I just wonder who was controlling the moon and sun if the princesses was gone sadly no pony knows that answer. The mare watched me the whole time walking towards her but my guess is she knows what i got and what she knows, Goggles shielded my eyes as wind blow against me i knew i felt bad ass. "well i'm back with the goods you required me for Mama" My Mother was a unicorn with Brown Mane and red body, she was around mid-age type heh i think she had me when i was a foal sometimes. "its been 2 years Ray and now you come back with stuff i don't need anymore peace a shit" with a flash of magic i fell backwards on the ground, a red mark across my face when i pulled my mask down. i look up to a angry mama. "oh ma you know i had to get them far and wide! with the Raiders an-" another smack hit me. "Shut Up! i hate you so much why do i bother having a stupid foal like you!" Ponies around turned and watched with sadden eyes, pity, amused eyes indeed. i giggled and got up. "Oh mama i love you to" she sighed heavily shaking her head with her eyes shut, was she judging me? "just get out of here Ray and take your crab with you.." i smiled and pulled up my mask and left. "hey Ray stay safe alright!" Redstone said outloud, waving to my bud's i walked along the Heartless lonely Road. "i love my mama... i do.. i do.." Tears flowing but i didn't want to show. "...Well Ray.. things are tough for you it seems but never give up.." Smiling widely to my new flying Bot Buddy. "Okay!" it went silence for a long period and i thought it was broken but it looked at me then flew away playing music. "he sure is a cool guy me.. whats that? oh no he calls himself Watcher" Ray started talking himself as our Wastelander walked through the Roads ahead, the sunset came in view against him. Soon his world will change in another day Soon he will become a Hero but when? "Oh Me i can't be a hero.. but there was a story! a tale about Little Pip who woken up" To Be Continue. "i think she came out of a stable 2?"
