Fallout Equestria: Moon's Blood
Chap 7
Previous ChapterNext ChapterTrotting during two days and three nights, debuting the third day of constant walking on pre-war equestrian roads ... It was boring, tiring and ... we all began to be hungry.
Windigo had disappeared since more than thirty minutes and I was staring my last Sparkle-Cola, saliva at my dry lips.
"Rusty ? When are we going to arrive ?" I asked to the old unicorn."We're are wasted by this ... Killstreak and I won't continue one more day ..."
"In less than an hour ... The town's gonna appear at the horizon ..."
I looked around and saw a strange beast looking like a giant pig, and it was running forward of us. I heard a soft whistle from above.
It was like a light-gray lightning which landed on the beast, rolled with it and threw it against a old concrete wall in a bloody splash and a crushed skull noise. Windigo ... not surprising after all ... but the action wasn't in lack of 'punch', very brutal and fast.
He took the body with his gauntlet and flew a little before landing between Killstreak and I.
"Did I miss anything ?" He calmly asked.
Rusty Wrench looked at him and his victim.
"I've seen better sides of beef been run over by a combine." he cried. "you should sale it at Dodge Junction as bacon for some caps ..."
"Bacon ? Ponies eat meat ?" Windigo replied.
"Yep, they make bacon ..."
Windigo looked at me and Killstreak.
"Some free caps, what do you think about that ?" he whispered at my ears.
"Hmm ..." I thinked about all this. " If you can hunt these ... things ... easly, then why not ... And you'll need a wash, you got a stain, right there ..." I said as I pointed his chest.
He looked at it and turned bothered.
"Yeah, maybe ..." he just moaned.
We trotted a bit before I saw Dodge Junction. It was a pile of dirt with a barbed wire barrier on it. spikes were coming from the ground, like a fort with some turrets with old pre-war stuff on it.
"What kind of weapon is this ?" I asked
"That's our auto-piloted defenses ... We builted it cause of raiders, slavers, hellhounds and all the bullshit ..."
Hellhound ? What kind of beast was that ? I knew Diamond dogs from pre-war stories my mother told me when I was a filly, but Hellhound ... No idea of what it could be ...
"How does it work ?" Killstreak demanded.
"We've connected these old gatlings to a mechanical arm, a rotating platform and an E.F.S. -like system ..." Rusty replied.
"An E.F.S. ? How did you got it ?" I asked, surprised.
"A pony came long time ago..." Rusty answered. "He gave us his 'Pipthing' and he learned us how to use it ... So, we've reproduced it with less or more success with electronical stuff from some old terminals ... ' wasn't easy, but we have succeeded after all. It attack all 'red' targets which are stupid enough to be aggressive ..."
We stopped before the gate, between two heavy armored ponies. They aimed Windigo immediately.
"Hello, old man, you're bringing outsiders and mutants in town, now ?" asked the first.
"I'm NOT a mutant ! What the hell is wrong with everypony ? Why do you think I'm a monster !" moaned Windigo.
"He's a kind of ... Luna's guard …" said Rusty Wrench.
"Yeah ... maybe ... now enter and don't do trouble, freak ..." mocked the second armored pony.
"Yeah, soup can !" murmured Windigo.
We walked in the main allee, full of live.
"You can go at the motel, right there." Rusty pointed a building. "It's only ten caps per night for a room ... If you want a job, ask me, I'll be at the workshop, for the bat boy, you can go to the butcher, Dust Mist …"
- New objective, go to the workshop -
We entered the motel and I walked forward, letting Killstreak an Windigo behind me.
A stallion was behind a desk with a terminal.
"Hum ... excuse me, do you have a free room ?"
He looked at me with a arrogant gaze.
"Maybe, just let me look at my register ..."He said. "Yes ... the room number two is free, but it's a first class one, fifteen caps per night ... For one person ?"
"Not really, it for three ponies ... I and my two friends behind me..."
He looked over me, at my friends. I expected something I don't wanted to.
"Sorry, miss, we do not accept pooch, hounds or mutants in this institution ..."
"WHAT ?"
Oh, Celestia, why ? Why did he tell that ? Why did Windigo heard him ?
Windigo walked with a determined trot, stopped in front of the receptionist, knocked the desk with his left hoof and grabbed the stallion at the collar with his gauntlet.
"WHAT DO YOU JUST SAID ABOUT ME ?! YOU SONOVABITCH ?!" Shouted the bat pony.
"I just said ... *gasp* ... We don't accept pets or mutants ..." gasped the stallion.
"Did I look like a dog ? DID I ?" Shouted Windigo louder as he slammed the receptionist against the desk. "Did I look like a freak ? Yes, I do !! I'm a bat pony, you freaking stupid ! I'm a Luna's guard, you faggot ! So stop calling me a mutant ! UNDERSTOOD ?!!"
The stallion answered with a affirmative move with his head. Windigo slapped him.
"I DIDN'T HEAR YOU, MAGGOT !"
"Y-y-y-yes, sir ..."
"That's more like it !"
He took keys and dropped twenty caps on the desk.
"Fifteen for the room, and five for tip ..."
"Thanks s-s-sir ..." Answered the stallion, hiding under the desk.
"Ok, ladies, I let you see the room, I got a job to do ..." Windigo said.
He threw the key at me, and I grabbed with my magic.
"See you later !" said Killstreak with a smile and her "predator's" eyes...
Hell, I hate when she do that ! Because that means she want to seduce, and I stay really possessive ...even if I'm not with her anymore ... Goddesses dammit !
Killstreak and I walked to our room and opened it ...
The room was made of three parts: A saloon, a water room and THE room with a crimson covered bed big enough to Celestia and Luna at the same time ... Gorgeous ...
I layed on the couch of the saloon and looked at Killstreak.
"Yo, Killstreak ? Is the MagickraftWerk recharged ?"
She looked her Pipbuck and gave me the heavy energy gun.
"Ouf ! That's big !" I said. "And only ... one third recharged ... Gaaaaaah !
I looked the weapon everywhere and I loaded my magic in my horn.
"Sky ?" asked Killstreak.
I used my magic on the MagicKraftWerk and filled all the charge. I felt like drunk and tired.
"Killstreak ... you're so funny ... hihi ... did I told you you were cute ? hihihi ..." I moaned at her, then I closed my eyes.
I was a phenomenon when I was drunk, I'm always today ... but less ...
xxo0oxx
I was in the darknesses, again ... I walked forward in the dark ... All sounds around me where like a night.
"Gaaah ... boring" I moaned. "I'm in a complete night, nothing, nopony around ... this night is definitely BORING !!!!"
"BORING ?!"
"Eyh ! Who's there ?!"I shouted in a bit of fear. "Who are you ?!"
"US ? WE ARE THE NIGHT !"
"Wowowowo ! Calm down, please, I don't want problems ...alright ?"
A cloud of purple, blue and black mist appeared and began to turn around me.
"Problems ?" Asked the mist with a sweet voice." Why should I cause problem to my own childrens ?"
Two ambers glowing eyes appeared in the mist which took a tall pony form.
I was afraid, really freaking afraid ... Two part of mist took me between them, like two wings. My cheek touched the form, and fear disappeared instantly. It was like a hot fur and feathers from wings were like a sweet cover on my shoulder and my body.
My cheek, my neck and my chest embraced this hot mist as a foal do with his mother ... It was comforting in this dark and cold night ... so cold ... as a blizzard ...
"So ? is this night so boring ?" asked the mist.
"No ... not at all ... I love night ..." I answered like the filly I was more than ten years ago.
"Sorry, my little pony, but I have to go ..."
"No, stay here, stay with me, please .."
The mist was now cold as death, and stopped to hug me, going into a cloud and disappearing in the darknesses as the sun rose.
"No, wait !" I shouted as I ran. "Wait !"
"WE GOT TO GO !"
"No ....NO WAIT !"
The light was reflected and blinded me in a white chaos, then darknesses.
xxo0oxx
I opened my eyes, I was in the motel, lying on the couch . I looked around me and rose on my hooves, then walked slowly to the water room, but I stopped at the room entrance.
Windigo and Killstreak were sitting on the bed, the bat pony was making a braid to the white unicorn.
"And so ? about Red Sky ?" asked the thestral.
"She's really kind, attentionate, maybe a little possessive ... but such playful at bed..."
She was right .... unless for about the bed ... I wasn't such playful ... maybe not...
I sitted myself behind the wall, hearing by the door.
"Such playful ?" He asked calmly.
Killstreak laughed a little.
"More than you can imagine ..."She said as she turned the head to look Windigo in the eyes.
" And about you ?"
"Nothing special ...I've been with some mares before ... but it was already two hundred years ago... and I don't remember everything ... but mares didn't change so much ... by be friend, I mean ..."
Killstreak smiled, then kissed the nose of the bat boy who blushed instantly.
"Whao ... mares from before the war didn't do that after only one week ... maybe they changed after all ..." he half-smiled. "But maybe we should ... you know ... learn about the other, maybe have a diner alone together ... It bother me to be only an One night adventure, if you see what I mean ..."
She took a step back.
"You're right ... I understand what you mean …"
I remembered ... She got this problem with a bully because of this ...
Windigo jumped on her and began to tickle her.
"I have my revenge to take !" he said with a smile.
Killstreak was laughing as I've rarely saw she do.
It was enough for me, I entered the bathroom and undressed myself in front of the shower. I dropped my Stable jumpsuit on the floor, only keeping my Pipbuck.
I opened the water and entered.
The water was hot, like a rain on me... My geiger counter slowly crackled at less than +1 Rad ... I took an old soap and began to wash and made a sponge levitating around me, begining to rub my body with it and the soap... I washed my hooves and my belly quickly and slowed at my intimate zone ...
"Hmmm ..." I moaned as the hot water was flowing over my body.
I took shampoo and began to wash my mane and my tail. I've not washed myself since a long time ... too long ... exiting the shower was so hard now I got hot water … I took a cigarette in my inventory and lighted it.
I walked, took a breath and levitated my jumpsuit to wash it, but stopped at the room entrance.
Killstreak and Windigo were lying on the bed, the giant bat pony was covering the tall unicorn with his wing, a cover over both of them.
They were cute ...
That was what Killstreak needed, a stallion who were protective, able to understand her ... That was what we needed, strong relationships between us and protecting each others ... I didn't wanted to bother them, but Windigo woke up.
"You're finally awoke ?" he asked.
"How long ?"
" Maybe six hours, maybe more ..." he said." I've no idea ..."
He got up and came to me.
"Killstreak and you ... are ..." I tried to ask.
"Together ?"
"Well ... Yeah ..."
"I don't know ... "He answered. "She's kind, looks like she need somepony in her life ... But we'll be together if she want to ... and if we got time ..."
I gave him a little hit with my shoulder.
"Don't tell me you don't want her, you're mad of her..." I mocked.
"No, no ... For the moment we are just ..." he said." ... Close friends ..."
"Close friends ?" I asked.
"Yes, close friends ... Does this bother you ?"
"No, not at all ..."
"So why do you ask me so much about my relation's nature with Killstreak ? Are you jealous ? Or are you protecting her ? Or both at the same time ?"
"I ...I ... Yes I am ..." I dropped in a sigh. "She was my first marefriend ... and I've seen her suffering because of a stallion used her ... And I don't want to see this happens to her again ..."
He looked at me and placed his gauntlet on my left shoulder.
"I promise you this will never happens again ..." he said with a formal tone.
"Y-you really promise me ?"
"Yes, I promise you, but first, if you want us to talk about Killstreak and I, we'll need to wait a little ... I don't want to go in a relation on a whim ... Do you understand ?"
"Yes, I understand ..."
His wings surrounded me and I placed my cheek on his chest as he began to hug me ... it was like in this dream, without feathers ... I felt like in my mother's forehooves ... A hot feeling of comfort and security ... I hugged him as well, like in lack of affection ... I rubbed my cheek against his hot light-gray fur.
"If you're jealous of Killstreak, tell me it ... I'll do my best to limitate our relation in front of you ..." He whispered slowly.
"Okay ..."
I approached my lips of his, but his head took a step back, so I stopped.
He kissed my nose and smiled.
"Close friends ..." He said gently.
"Ok ... " I replied as I lowered my muzzle.
He quietly took my chin with his gauntlet and raised my face to see me in the eyes.
"Sssh ... Is something wrong ?"
"I ... I don't know ... I always felt something for Killstreak and ... I don't know about you ... I mean ... You look protective, able to care about us and ... We both never seeen a stallion like you ..."
"Like me ? Like a bat-monster-mutant ?" He mocked.
"No, not at all ... I meant so ... large-hearted stallion ... Is that a special trait of your ... race ?"
"I don't think so ... My father wasn't like me ... more suspicious and cold, but he was like me with people he liked ..."
"Do you mean like you and Killstreak ?" I asked with a mocking smile.
"My father was having a wife, I don't ..." He answered with the same smile.
He approached his muzzle to mine and moved it at my right ear.
"If you want to sleep or rest, you can come with us ..." He said.
I walked to the bed, Windigo placed Killstreak with precaution and let a place between him and her, so I laid myself between them, with a feeling of security. But I haven't the need to sleep ...
"Windigo ?"
"Yes, Sky ?"
"You want to sleep ?"
"Not really ... I just rest a bit ... hunting is exhausting ..."
"How about your job ?"
"I got a deal with Dust Mist, A radhog for thirty five caps, against fifty for the other hunters ... I got one hundred five caps at total today ..."
I raised and sat on the mattress, Windigo did same and began to use his gauntlet with my mane as I through.
"What are you doing to my mane ?" I asked.
"Oh, nothing ... I'm just combing it ... " He said slowly. "You won't go outside with a humid hairs ? Don't you ?"
He approached himself to brush with more efficiency, then I felt his thigh's inner face against my cutie mark.
I blushed and turned my head a bit to look at him.
He was whistling softly and was concentrated on my mane despite his groin's proximity with my back.
" Mayyyybe you'll think of me, when you are aaaaall alone, maybe the one who is waiting for youuuuu …Will proooove untrue, then what wiiiiill you doooo? Mayyyyybe you'll sit and sigh, wishiiing that I were neeeear, then maybe you'll ask me to come back agaaaaaain … And maybe I'll say maybe..." He sang slowly.
"It's a beautiful song" I said.
"You've not heard my grand-mother's favorite song ..." He answered. " But my granny came from Pranche, so it's in Prench ... "
"Your grandparents weren't from equestria ?"
"My grand-father was equestrian, but not my grand-mother ..."
"And ... Is it bat ponies in Pranche ?"
"I've no idea ... She never told me about the kinds of ponies I should meet ..."
I looked at him one more time.
Hell, now I saw him with Killstreak, I was seeing him so close to me.
"And about your parents ?" He asked softly.
"I don't know my father ... You already saw my mom ... she is .. or was engineer in the Stable and was working in the lower levels of the Stable ... A vital work for everypony." I answered has I levitated my cigarette.
If Luna had create bat ponies, she've done a well freaking done job !
"And about-" He began, but I grabbed him at the shoulders and kissed him.
It was stronger than I ...
My tongue slowly slipped on his and began to turn.
His teeth weren't sharps at the touch, but slick. His tongue was slippery on the inner face and lightly rough on the top. He was letting me doing the movement, no doubt to don't fuck up my kiss ...
His lips were sweet and tough at the same time.
I pushed him on the back, laying him on the mattress and I placed myself above him, keeping my lips against his.
I draw a movement with my hoof to his somepony's zone. His reaction was quick and clear.
He stopped to let me kiss him and sent my tongue out of his mouth quickly.
"Ouch !"
My tongue was hurt ... I've maybe cut on his teeth...
He push me out and I fell next to him and near of Killstreak, then he came above me and I was now between his four legs.
"Sorry to be such crude, but no, Sky, I don't want this for the moment !"
"Oooh ... Pleeeeeease ..." I moaned softly.
"I said no ! Killstreak is right there and I don't do this until I'm sure of my feelings ..." He said with his teeth out. "Rusty said he got a job for you and you should go see him to change your mind ... "
"You're not funny !" I sighed.
"Maybe ... " He said as he moved to the side and sat me free.
I rose and took my Stable's jumpsuit, dressed myself and exited the room.
I lowered the stairs and arrived at the reception. The arrogant stallion was still here.
"Is the room pleasing your friends ?" he asked with a stressed tone.
"The other unicorn like it, and the bat-boy too ..."
I trotted outside and continued my travel to the "workshop".
It was a old building of redbrick arranged with wood boards and metal.
The entrance was like a market's shop.
"Is somepony here ?" I asked in the empty building.
"You've take your time to come see an old unicorn ..." answered the old voice of Rusty Wrench.
"Excuse-me ... but I-"
"You don't have to justify yourself ... can you come in the back room..."
I entered the "back-room". It was like a old garage full of ranged weapons, terminal's parts and electronic stuff.
"Woah ... that's ... a real treasure ..." I said, surprised.
"That's nothing ..."
"Why do you asked me to come here ?" I asked.
" Hey look, filly, I'm an engineer, that means I solve problems... Not problems like "What is beauty?", because that would fall within the purview of your conundrums of philosophy. I solve practical problems... Fr'instance... How am I going to stop some big mean mother hubbard from tearing me a structurally superfluous new behind?
"I don't know ..."
" The answer... " He continued. "...use a gun... And if that don't work.... use more gun. You have guns, but if you go Hoofington, you're gonna need more guns ..."
I looked my magnum and his condition on my Pipbuck, he was almost broke ...
"Ya see, your magnum is looking good, but in fact, his gunlock is fucked ... I think I got a magnum gunlock right ..." He searched in the stuff."... there !"
"Don't you got something for me ?" I asked, uncertain.
"Yeah, I got a long night of learning and training for ya..."
