Fallout Equestria: A Demon's Fate

Deep in the streets of Trottingham, a treasure trove of technology was said to exist; Bunker 000. Bunker 000, was said to house the most advanced technological breakthroughs. Everything from self-aware robots to sleeping super soldiers. Bunker 000 was said to house the most dangerous living weapon known to equestria, but nopony had ever been able to find such a location. The streets of Trottingham were filled with bloodthirsty raiders, and all kinds of radiation-altered monsters. Not even the Steel Rangers proved successful in finding it.

For over two centuries, it remained an undisturbed legend in history. The kind of tale you would tell a foal. Bunker 000 did exist, undiscovered in the mountains west of Trottingham it remained in its eternal slumber. For two hundred and fifty years, it lay dormant.

Until one day, the bandit lord Nightshade, began to settle in the Trottingham mountains. There, she and her faction, found a large round metal door. It took three weeks to finally break through the first door. Several more still stood in Nightshade’s path. Months passed before they broke through the last barrier.

Nightshade was a young mare, barely out of her teens. Despite this, she commanded the respect of dozens of bandits. She was a force to be reckoned with. However, nothing could have prepared her for the horror that lurked within the fabled Bunker 000. The experience would change her life forever.

Alarms roared, it was annoying. The computer flashed several warnings before I felt it. The feel of my body. Do you know what it’s like? To not have physical form for two hundred years. Well, finally someone opened the damn door. Now, I was free. I breathed in, slowly, taking my sweet time. Ignoring the roars of alarms and the monotone voice of the security system.

CODE MAGENTA! ACTIVATING SUPPRESSION UNIT! ELIMINATE ALL INTRUDERS!

This is what I had missed. I flexed my muscles, it felt good. I felt alive, I was alive. I opened my eyes, light flooded in, practically blinding me. I winced and blinked several times before my eyes began adjusting.

I was in a completely white room. There was nothing inside it, aside from one black door. I began slowly trotting forward, the door slid open automatically as I came within a few steps of it. I had to basically myself to my knees to avoid hitting my head on the damn frame.

As I exited the room, I came to a long hallway. Once again; everything was colored white. Even the numerous pipes and tubes that ran along the ceiling. I could hear the unmistakable sound of gunfire, and the neighing of ponies.

I began towards the sounds, letting my sense of sound guide me along a maze of hallways. Finally I found the source of the battle, a large room that probably had a LOT of expensive equipment. Not anymore, now it was a mess of scrap metal and bodies. How lovely. A gunshot sounded, and a bullet whizzed past my head. Duck and cover, as they say!

I took cover behind a counter, and peered over the top of it. There were several ponies hiding behind various objects for cover. More gunshots sounded. But this time the gunshots came from in front of me. There, stood an equine clad in armor.

It was an armor combination from hell, the black enclave design on top of the steel ranger power armor. Upon its shoulders were two machine guns. It spoke in a deep mechanical monotone.

“Subject 000 located. Introduction protocol can commence later. General Zippity. Enter combat mode immediately.”

Well, it certainly wasn’t my enemy, I decided that I’d play along. The robot began unloading ammo into the ponies. “Whatever you say, nuts and bolts.”

I leapt out from behind the cover, prepared to strike at the first target available. All for nothing. All of them were riddled with holes now. Stupid robot, first it tells me to fight, then it goes and kill-steals.

“Hey, hey! Don’t kill ‘em all! I want to at least get one kill!”

It turned its attention towards me and responded; “Request denied, acquiring new targets.”

The damn machine began walking towards the other end of the room. I trotted up beside it, glancing at the bodies as I walked. They were nothing but a pile of blood and tissue now. 'Restraint' seemsed to be a foreign concept to machines.

It trotted through the door and I followed. Immediately gunshots sounded, and I instinctively leapt back into the room. The machine just took the shots and turned its head towards the new targets. I knew what was coming next. It unloaded more bullets into the end of the hall. No shots were returned, just silence. Scary. But this was a problem. I trotted up next to it. Damn thing would probably shoot me if I was in its sights.

“Oy, oy! Don’t shoot everything that moves! What if I’m in the line of fire, eh?”

It continued forward.

“Scenario processing. Conclusion reached. If such a situation occurs, General Zippity will be treated as a target.”

Not if I had anything to say about it! I infused my hoof with Nether and brought it down on the robot's head, crushing its core. “Sorry, you were saying?” I asked as I trotted down the hall. No answer, just as it should be. Stupid robots, they never have enough sentience.

Red lights flashed along the hall, accompanied by the voice of the security system.

GAMMA UNIT 102 HAS BEEN TERMINATED! ALL GAMMA UNITS PROCEED TO SECTOR C AND ELIMINATE SUBJECT 000!

Oh, fuck me! I probably shouldn't have destroyed that thing--time to skedaddle! I ran like the wind through the halls following the trail of bodies to, hopefully, the exit. I skidded to a halt as two more of those defense droids walked around a corner.

I barely had any time to react as they opened fire upon me. If only I had cover! I infused my hooves with Nether, and stuck them into the floor. Ripping out a metal panel, and used it as a shield.

“Ha-ha!” I exclaimed in a moment of triumph.

I heard a familiar clicking noise. I glanced behind me, there were three more of them. All of them had grenade machine guns. Well now my little shield wouldn't help me at all!

“…..Not…fair…..” I whined as they unloaded their ammo upon me.

If I become a creature of destruction, hell-bent on devouring all who threaten Equestria. Even as I devour them I swear to you, “I’m not a monster.”

Would you still trust me? Would you still love me? The way you once did, all those moons ago?
