Fallout equestria key of ruin

Chapter 2: heart of gold.

Blacklight stood in front of comander shield and Sargent hoofbeat.

"so what's the plan?" asked blacklight.

"the entrance is guarded," began hoofbeat. "so you need to sneak in"

"we managed to acquire something to help with that." added shield.

Shield floated a small device over to blacklight.

"that is a reverse engineered stealth buck" stated shield. "these are the pony made versions of the zebra stealth bucks, it should get you in."

"how do I get out?" asked blacklight.

"unfortunately your on your own with that." replied hoofbeat.

"and you need more than a shotgun and a pistol."said shield as he levitated a supressed assault rifle out of a trunk and passed it to blacklight. "you can't keep this gun, so don't go and sell it or anything like that"

Blacklight knoded.

"let's do this" said blacklight.

The stable was half an hour away from the camp. Blacklight could see the door to it in the distance.

"better activate the stealth buck." blacklight told himself.

Blacklight plugged the device into his pip buck and pressed a button on it. He quickly turned invisible.

"nice" blacklight thought to himself as he edged closer to the stable.

The stable door was open and there were two raiders stationed out front. Blacklight had no trouble getting past them. Blacklight paused for a second to stare at the stable interior.

"wow" blacklight thought to himself. "so this is a stable"

Blacklight walked down the rusted hallways, passing a couple of raiders along the way. Blacklight noticed an elevator and stealthfully sliped into it.

"shield said they were in the living quarters." blacklight told himself. "I just need to-"

But the stealth buck wore off, causing him to become visable again.

"goddess damn it!" blacklight cursed to himself.

His one Advantage had just wore off.agitated, blacklight removed the stealth buck and discarded it. Then he floated out the supressed assault rifle.

"least I still got this" blacklight thought to himself.

The elevator stopped and opened up. Blacklight stepped out and tip toed to the corner of the hallway.

Blacklight saw a raider guarding a door labeled living quarters. Blacklight caught him off guard and fired 4 shots into his head. Then trotted over to the body. Blacklight looted off some caps, some 9mm bullets, and a grenade.

"let's do this" blacklight muttered to himself.

Blacklight opened the door and rushed in. The door led to a long hallway with doors on both sides. One. Door was guarded by two raiders.

"hey!" one of them screamed.

Both aimed their guns at blacklight and fired. But suddenly blacklight vanished in a flash of green light.

"where the he'll did he go!?" yelled the other raider.

A moment later blacklight appeared behind the two in a green flash.

"right here ya dumb bucks."

Blacklight kicked one of the raiders onto the ground and levitated out his knife, stabbing the other raider in the side of his neck. Then stomping on the fallen raider's head, crushing his skull.

"too easy" blacklight said to himself with a smile.

Blacklight put his knife away and searched the two bodies. Blacklight looted some caps, ammo for a gun he didn't have, and a set if keys. Blacklight's gaze then fell upon one of the weapons they had. It was some kind of pistol. But it looked different than any he had seen.

"I'll pick this up after I set everypony free"...

Blacklight went for the closest door first. It was locked, but blacklight used they keys he found and opened the door. Inside was a typical stable bedroom. But there was nopony inside.

"where is....-"

Blacklight was cut off by the sound of a song playing.

Blacklight followed the sound to a door nearby. Black unlocked it and opened it up. Inside was a peach colored mare that looked the same age as blacklight laying on a bed. She had a bright yellow mane that was styled short, gold colored eyes, and her cutie mark was a gold heart. She wore stable barding and was reading a book while listening to the radio. She didn't notice that blacklight was there.

"um hello?" asked blacklight.

The mare put down her book and looked at blacklight.

"so I take it your the rescue crew?" replied the mare.

"yeah...... Ya know for a prisoner, you don't look like your-

"what?" the mare cut blacklight off mid sentence. "what did you expect? A pale sickly pony in the process of being violated?"

"well no." blacklight replied. "but you seem pretty nonchalant about all this."

They were interupted by a voice on the radio.

"chao! It's triple trot here with today's new!"

"hold it, I want to hear this" said the mare.

"apparently there was a skirmish between some raiders and those brave ponies in the new guard. Poor troops would have died if it wernt for a mysterious savior helping them."

Blacklight's eyes widened. This triple trot was talking about him. How did he even know?

"in other news, rumor has it that said savior was asked to join the new guard, either way, don't stop helpin stranger! This next song goes out to you!"

The voice on the radio vanished, replaced by music and a singing feminine voice.

"I'll be the toast of the town-"

The mare turned the radio off.

"where was I...." started the mare.

"no time." replied blacklight. "let's free the other hostages".

"your wasting time with that pal" said the mare.

"what do you mean?" asked blacklight?

The mare got off the bed and stood facing blacklight.

"they are dead"

"dead!?" yelled blacklight. "since when!?, how!?,"

"two years ago." started the mare. "some of the raiders got messed up on chems and booze.... Killed all the prisoners."

"then how are you alive?" asked black.

"it's crazy, you won't believe me if I told you." replied the mare.

"I've heard plenty of crazy shit, trust me." said blacklight.

"fine" answered the mare. "ever since I could remember, I've been really really really lucky. So I guess I was especially lucky that day because all I got was a bullet to the leg."

She gestured to a scar on her leg.

"I can believe that" said black. "oh! I never introduced myself. I'm blacklight"

"now we reach introductions." muttered the mare sarcastically. "my name is golden heart"

"well miss golden heart, can I call you gold?"

"go ahead" answered golden heart.

"well gold, let's go." said blacklight with a smile.

Escaping would be much easier since he only had one pony with him.

"not just yet" said golden heart. "there's one thing I want to do before I leave this shithole."

"what?" asked blacklight.

"you will see" replied golden heart.

"I guess we can... But you need a gun" said blacklight.

Blacklight picked up a pump action shotgun dropped by one if the raiders and offered it to her.

"yeah no." said golden heart as she left her room and walked up to the gun that blacklight planned to pick up later. She picked up the gun in her mouth and slipped it into her barding.

"I'll take this"

The duo had left the living quarters. And golden heart tool the lead, stoping at a door marked overseer.

"this won't take too long." said golden heart.

Golden heart took out the gun and mouth wielded it. She told blacklight along the way there that it was a needler pistol, used for paralyzing enemies

"ladies first" said blacklight as he levitated out his 9mm pistol.

Golden heart kicked down the door and they rushed in. However there was nopony inside.

"told ya I was lucky" said golden heart, her voice was somewhat muffled by the gun in her mouth.

The room looked like a typical overseer's office, with the exception of a large safe door taking up most of the back wall.

"what do we need here?" asked blacklight.

Golden heart put away her gun.

"we need to open that safe" said golden heart. "got anything explosive?"

"you really are lucky." said blacklight as he levitated out the grenade.

Blacklight pulled the pin and rolled the bomb at the door. The two ducked behind the overseer's desk as the grenade exploded, blowing off the door.

"good" said golden heart with a smile.

The two got up and walked towards the large doorway. His eyes widened.

"holy celestia on a speedboat."

Inside was loads and loads of gold bars.

"bingo" said golden heart.

She began putting gold bars into a saddlebag she brought with her.

"help yourself!" yelled golden heart enthusiastically.

Blacklight could only stare in awe.

"why the hell is there like a million bars of gold?" asked blacklight.

"this stable had a unique currency system." replied golden heart. "we used this to buy loads of things. Snacks, movie seats, jewelry...."

She grabbed a bar in her mouth and flung it in blacklight's direction. The unicorn caught it with his magic and slipped it into his saddle bag.

"now we can get out of here" said golden heart.

They drew closer to the exit. But then one thing crossed his mind.

"how the buck are we going to sneak past the guards!?" asked blacklight.

Golden heart stopped and looked at blacklight.

"I thought you had our escape all planned out!" said golden heart, she sounded annoyed.

"they said that I was on my own with the exit plan." replied blacklight. "so unless you know where I can find another stealth buck, we have a problem."

"actually... I do". Said golden heart with a smile.

Blacklight also smiled.

"her luck is rubbing off on me" blacklight thought to himself.

They made a detour towards the storage room.

"head one of my guards talks about one being in here." said golden heart.

They stopped at a room marked storage.

"here it is!" said golden heart.

They opened the door and entered the room. It was full of metal crates. And lying on top of one of the crates in plain sight, was a stealth buck.

"hell yes!" said blacklight.

He picked up the stealth buck with magic and put it in it's slot on the pip buck.

"let's get the he'll out of-"

"there!" cried a voice.

Five raiders barged in, all adopting smgs and surrounded the two.

"great" blacklight thought to himself. "any more luck?" asked black.

"Depends, got any bright ideas?" asked golden heart.

"now we got two captives!" yelled one raider.

"who's lucky now bitch!" cried another.

"what...did you just call me?" asked golden heart.

"you heard me!" yelled the raider. "a b-e-I-......... Bitch!"

Brains obviously were not their strong suit.

"black...." grunted golden heart

"yea?" asked blacklight.

"dibs on potty mouth"

Golden heart kicked the smg out of the raider's mouth. Then the other raiders took aim at her.

"no ya don't!" yelled blacklight!

He focused his magic and lifted all five raiders with his magic.

"holy shit!" screamed one raider.

golden heart took out her needler pistol and shot the raiders with syringe bullets that were full of paralyzing liquid.

"let them down black." said golden heart.

"but of course." replied blacklight with a smile.

Blacklight slammed them onto the floor hard and released his magical grip on them.

"let's hoof it!" yelled blacklight.

He ran out with golden heart following close behind.

"what now!?" asked golden heart.

"we can forget stealth at this point!" replied blacklight.

Blacklight recognized the hallway they were running in.

"I know this hall!" said black. "were almost free!"

But when they Reached the main enterence, it was full of raider guards all armed with automatic weapons.

"hold it!" yelled one raider.

The two ponies stopped dead in their tracks.

"dammit!" yelled golden heart.

"no." said blacklight. "we've come too fat to lose right now!"

Blacklight looked for anything, anything he could use. Then he noticed that one was not armed with an automatic weapon, but with a device linked to a large gas tank on his back.

"a flame thrower" blacklight thought to himself.

"down on the frekin ground!" yelled a raider.

"not this time!" yelled blacklight.

He quickly took out his pistol and fired a shot that hit the gas tank dead on, igniting it and setting the raiders ablaze. They screamed in pain as their flesh burned.

"let's go!" yelled blacklight.

Blacklight and golden heart ran out of the stable as fast as they could.

After escaping, they made their way back to the new guard's camp. Where shield, and hoofbeat were waiting.

"you made it!" said shield with a smile.

Hoofbeat looked at golden heart.

"where's the other hostages?" asked hoofbeat.

Golden heart smirked. "I am the other hostages"

"only one hostage?" said shield. "damn raider played us like a game of chess."

"least you can go in and take over the stable now." said blacklight as he took out the suppressed assault Rifle. "heres your gun back."

Shield took the gun and rested it against the camp gate.

"you have done us a huge favor blacklight." said shield. "a deal is a deal. I know that there's a pony in the radio building that has an eye on everything going on in the western wastes."

"triple trot!" said golden heart.

"yes" replied shield.

"if anypony has seen your zebra, it would be him." added hoofbeat.

Hoofbeat marked it's location on blacklight's pip buck.

"you could be there tomorrow if you go now." said shield.

"thanks for everything." replied blacklight.

Blacklight began to walk away.

"wait!"

Blacklight stopped to see golden heart running after him.

"what's this about a zebra?" asked golden heart.

"I have a score to settle." replied blacklight.

"can I join in on this little personal vendetta? I have score to settle too." asked golden heart.

"who?" replied blacklight.

"let's just say somepony screwed me over and I want to smash his face in." goldenheart answered.

Blacklight thought about it. Her natural luck would come in handy, plus she might have some skills he did not. And off the record, blacklight was feeling a little lonely."

"By all means, I could use a friend like you by my side."

Golden heart squeed with joy.

"let's hit the road!" cheered golden heart.

Blacklight and golden heart trekked into the wastes, towards triple trot's radio building. To find the answers that blacklight needed.
