Fallout Equestria: Sins of Retribution

You ever hunted a pony? What kind of question was that? So far the only pony I have been hunting was Ambrose. Technically I guess I could say yes then.

"Just spare us the suspense and tell us wha we need to do." Scarlet was on her third full glass of Wild Pegasus, which was probably explaining her ever growing slur. Deadeyes nodded and set his hoofs onto the desk, moving the Wild Pegasus out of Scarlets reach before she could finish off the rest of his booze.

"We were scheduled to recieve a small shipment of water talisman's for the facility's resevoirs. As you can guess, this is where my problem comes in." Deadeyes arched a brow. I couldnt help but snicker as he tapped his hoof on the desk to regain a drunken Scarlet Blaze's attention. "As I was saying, my problem is that the caravan that was suppose to arrive here last week was robbed of all its talismans. They say a pegasus with a rifle has been causing trouble not too far from here. Every attempt to remove our little guest, however, ends with utter failure." Deadeyes waved his hoof to Scarlet and I. "That is where you two come in. Since you are not, as far as he knows, employed by me, there is a chance that he might not take your heads off immediately." I would feel more at ease with this plan if he used words like "It's guranteed you wont get your head blown into tiny pieces" rather than "Might not".

"And if he doesnt kill us on the spot?" I arched a suspicious brow as Deadeyes continued to grin. Not that i already didnt trust him, but I wasn't enirely all aboard just yet.

"If he doenst kill you, then you try and find a way to get the talismans back. Feel free to use any methods at your disposal." Deadeyes stated simply. Methods. By methods he was expecting us to just shoot the pony and take the talismans back. Which would be a fast solution. For all we knew he could be a raider. Then we wouldnt really have much of a choice, right? "From the reports I've gotten from the most recent, he appears to be aligned with the Enclave, and armed with a gauss rifle."

Enclave? I could already feel my blood begin to boil at the mentioning of the word. I looked to Deadeyes with a sadistic and wide grin.

"I've heard enough, tell me where he is and I'll take care of it." I was practically frothing at the mouth for some payback. Which was exactly what Deadeyes wanted from me. Though there was still one last thing that I wanted from him. "Now what about Ambrose?" I cocked my head at him. Regardless of what the job was, I wasn't doing a single thing until I knew what would happen to her.

"Ah yes the zebra, don't worry, your friend is safe and sound." He smiled at us calmly. Not the answer I was looking for but at least she was alright.

"You're going to give her to us after we finish our job right?" Scarlet slurred, having moved to sit in a chair at the corner of the room

"I'll see what I can do. Now then, one of my more recent associates that was ambush by the Enclave Pegasus will show you the route. You'll find her in the eastern wing of the facility. She should be in the medical ward there." Deadeyes gave a crooked grin as he trotted to the door and opened it for us. "Happy hunting, kid"

The correctional facility was fairly large, with long grey walls that reminded me of stable 24. Though instead of moldy walls and Cazadors, it had various wartime poster glued onto the concrete walls that said things like "Only you can prevent Zebra espionage: report suspicious activity to your local guardsmen at once."

Aside from occasionally having to pull Scarlet away from every buck she tried to flirt with in her drunken haze, these ponies were a lot calmer than I had expected. At least calmer than I expected from raiders.

"I think we made a pretty good impression on him Sh-Shamrock." Scarlet slurred as she swayed from side to side, occasionally bumping against the wall.

"Couldn't imagine why." I sighed, all I could focus on right now was our task. I was determined to get a little bit of payback for what the Enclave had done to me. "Well, this is the Medical Ward, I don't see anypo-" My eyes widened as I stared at the magenta colored mare from before.

"Juniper?!? I thought you were dead." I stuttered as she smiled at me, embracing me in a small hug. "We saw what happened at Trotton and assumed the worst."

"The rest of the group got into a bit of an argument on the way there after we left. I decided to separate and move to Shatterdhoof for work, which I guess was what kept me alive. Next thing I know, we're getting jumped by some Enclave Sniper." She sighed motioning to the scars lining her side.

"That Enclave Sniper would be the reason we're speaking with you. Deadeyes told us that you would be able to help us find his location." I wasn't exactly sure how having juniper with us would increase our chance of not dying, but it was still comforting to see a familiar face.

"Either way, I'm glad the two of you are alright. We should probably get some rest though...I think Scarlet could use it." Juniper suppressed a laugh as she pointed to Scarlet, who had passed out a few moments ago apparently on one of the medical beds. Soon enough, my own eyes started to grow heavier and heavier as I trotted for one of the beds as well. "See you both in the morning, goodnight."

Now all that was left for me was to see what nightmares would be waiting for me in my sleep.

"The Goddess has much need for you my little pony." A smooth and alluring mares voice cooed in the darkness. As I opened my eyes, I found myself once again in the black abyss that was soon becoming a familiar place to me. Though the voice continued to echo through the air around.

"The goddess? What are you talking about?" I demanded, trotting in aimless circles trying to locate where the sound was coming from. "Show yourself!" The voice simply laughed as a purple mist began to blow around me.

"All in good time my little pony, all in good time. For now you must focus on your task at hand." Every time I thought I had pinpointed the direction of the voice it seemed to move to the opposite side.

"Finding Ambrose? kind of already doing that right now, thanks for the concern." I grumbled with an annoyed glare at the darkness. Once again I receive another humored giggle.

"Oh no I was referring to the bigger task. Revenge, finding the Pegasus Enclave and destroying them for what they did to you and the ones you loved."

Various images of Pegasai clad in Enclave uniforms filled my view, followed by a replay of my hometown being razed to the ground. This voice really knew what buttons to push to send me over the edge with anger.

"What does it matter to you or this "Goddess" pony anyways? My personal vendettas are of no concern to you." I mumbled trying to contain my seething rage. It was no surprise when I was met with yet another omniscient giggle.

"Because, the goddess can help you find where the Enclave is, as well as grant you the strength you need to destroy them." My ears perked up suddenly as a purple alicorn came into view finally.

"You have my attention..."
