Blacklight looked at one.
"its nice to see you again black" said one.
"did that sprite bot just talk?" asked golden heart.
Duster put the bottle of whiskey into his saddle bag.
"thanks for the booze" said duster.
"I thought you wouldn't survive black, you proved me wrong" said one.
"when we first met you used a different sprite bot". Said blacklight.
"I have multiple sprite bots roaming the wastes, this is one of them." replied one.
"can I ask you something?" asked blacklight.
"knock yourself out" replied one
"we hit a dead end" said blacklight. "where can we learn more about the horde?, and my key."
One paused.
"I'll tell you this" started one. "the horde are the worst thing in the waste, worse than that damn draft, worse than the raiders, worse then the slavers."
One floated over to the burning weapon pile.
"as for your key, only thing that might have a clue in the area is the old flim flam industries garage."
One floated back over to blacklight.
"its a long shot, but it's a start." said one.
One zapped black's pip buck with a jolt of electricity.
"I sent the location to your pip buck" said one. "good luck"
The voice from the sprite bot vanished, replaced by polka music as the robot floated away.
"who was that?" asked golden heart.
"a friend" replied blacklight.
Black looked at his pipbuck's map.
"let go" said blacklight. "we got a ways to go".
They had been walking for an hour and a half. Duster floated out a cigarette with magic and placed it into his mouth. Then he floated out a lighter and lit the cigarette.
"how long you been a smoker? " asked blacklight, deciding to break the ice out of boredom.
"since I was 18" replied duster.
"guys look!" said golden heart, pointing to a wreaked wagon.
Blacklight walked up to the wagon and investigated it.
"nothing here!" yelled blacklight.
Goldenheart joined black at the wagon.
"guess somepony beat us to this wreak" said golden heart.
Duster stopped, and dropped his cigarette.
"aw crap" said duster.
"what's that?" asked golden heart pointing to a blinking device lodged into the bottom of the wagon.
"AMBUSH!" yelled duster.
Duster tackled the two away from the wagon just before the device exploded.
"the hay!?" yelled goldenheart.
"you almost fell for the oldest raider trick in the book!" replied duster.
"good thing you rushed in when you did duster." said blacklight.
"well we still have to get the buck out of here before the raiders come to search the wreak." said duster.
The trio ran from the scene as fast as they could.
It was night now, they had decided to set up camp by a large rock. Duster started a fire while goldenheart set a tin of insta-mash by the fire to cook. Blacklight was sharpening his knife.
"so golden heart." said duster. "what was it like living in one of those stable things?"
Golden heart looked at duster.
"well definitely better than life out here...... If your anypony but me."
Blacklight stopped sharpening his knife and looked at golden heart.
"you like the wasteland more than the stable?" asked blacklight.
"yeah" replied golden heart. "don't get me wrong though, stable life was good. Plenty of food, no radiation, you could watch a movie whenever you wanted. But it lacked excitement."
Golden heart took out her syringe gun and started loading it.
"out here, every day is an adventure. And I got more friends here than I did back in the stable.
"you must not have had any friends then." said duster.
Blacklight gave duster a look of disapproval.
"actually your right." said golden heart. "that's what happens when your an illegitimate child."
Goldenheart closed her eyes and sighed.
"you guys are the best friends I ever had" said golden heart as she opened her eyes.
Blacklight put his knife away and floated the insta-mash away from the fire.
"this the last of the food?" asked blacklight.
"we got enough for breakfast and lunch" replied duster.
Blacklight opened the tin and floated out three spoons.
"if we share anyways". Added blacklight.
Blacklight levitated two of the spoons over to goldenheart and duster. The rest of the night was quiet.
The next morning golden heart made breakfast in the form of a can of peas, then after eating they continued to walk.
"how close are we?" asked duster.
Blacklight checked his pipbuck.
"we can make it today if we keep going straight." replied blacklight.
"good!" said golden heart.
Their moment of peace was interupted by a raspy screech.
"the buck was that!?" said golden heart.
"well shit." said duster.
Duster readied his battle saddle.
"we are gunna have us some fun!"
Blacklight floated out his 9mm pistol.
"whats happening?" asked blacklight.
Duster smiled.
"feral ghoul ponies"
Then as if on cue, ten Ghoulified ponies raced towards them.
"eep!" yelled golden heart.
Golden heart took out her syringe gun.
"ha ha! The fun has been multiplied by ten!" yelled duster.
Duster began To open fire on the ghoul ponies, blacklight took aim and shot the head off of a charging ghoul pony.
"get them away!" yelled golden heart.
Golden heart fired multiple syringes into a nearby ghoul pony, the chemicals in the syringes began to take effect and the ghoul fell to the ground.
"hell ya!" yelled duster as he finished off the remaining ghoul ponies.
Blacklight looked at the ghoul corpses before him.
"glad that's over" said blacklight as he put his pistol away.
Golden heart put her syringe gun away and moved close to blacklight.
"what the buck happened!?" yelled goldenheart.
"feral ghoul ponies" replied duster. Duster trotted over to a nearby corpse and began searching it.
"these ain't friendly like colgate, feral ghoul ponies are crazy, no sense of reasoning. they are animals".
"I feel kind of bad for then" said blacklight, looking at the lifeless body of a ghoul pony. "these things had feelings once."
"back in my raider days, we killed these things for fun." said duster. "even now I still love the thrill."
Duster took a bottle of whiskey off of the corpse using his mouth and set it in front of blacklight.
"drink up."
Blacklight shrugged and lifted the bottle up and drank from it.
"not bad" said blacklight.
Duster smiled.
"good times".
The remainder of the day had been spent walking. The only time they stopped was to eat lunch, a box of fancy colt snack cakes. The garage was in their view.
It was a medium sized building with a large garage. The building was surrounded by a chain link fence.
"hold up" said duster.
Blacklight floated out a pair of binoculars. Blacklight looked through the binoculars and saw that the building was occupied by raiders.
"damn, raiders" said blacklight.
"got a plan?" asked golden heart.
"I do." said duster.
Duster took out a tin can with a bunch of wires on it.
"I got 12 tin can bombs" said duster. "get me close enough."
"alright" said blacklight. "you sneak over there and blow them to bits."
Blacklight floated out his sniper rifle.
"gold and me will distract them." said black.
Duster nodded and took off towards the garage.
"ready?" asked blacklight.
"ready" replied golden heart.
Black light looked through the sniper rifle scope. He took aim and fired. The shot pierced the chest of a raider pony. His death alerted the other raiders.
"INTRUDERS!" yelled a raider.
Blacklight fired a shot from his rifle. It hit a raider clean in the leg but did not kill it. Black fired a second shot that went through a pony's head and finished off the other raider. At that point blacklight saw an explosion near a group of raiders.
"duster is in." said blacklight as he put his rifle away and took out his pistol.
Golden heart took out her syringe gun and the two charged the building.
Meanwhile, duster kept throwing tin can grenades at confused raiders.
"I love this job." said duster as he bucked an armed tin can grenade at a raider pony.
Blacklight and golden heart rushed into the fenced in area and began firing at the raiders, taking then down one by one. Only five remained now.
"oh shit!" yelled one.
"mommy!" yelled another.
Duster joined back up with blacklight and golden heart.
"this is too easy" said duster.
"don't jynx it." said blacklight.
"WHO DARES ATTACK THE LAIR OF ME!?" bellowed a voice loudly.
"boss!" yelled a raider.
"that can't be good" said golden heart.
The front door flew open and a large unicorn pony wearing metal armor fashioned from scrap, a helmet made from an engine, and levitating a chainsaw barged out.
"NONE SHALL SURVIVE MOTÖRHEAD!" yelled the armored pony calling himself mororhead.
"ho-ly- buck." said duster.
"getem boss!" yelled one raider.
Mororhead chainsawed the raider in half.
"NOPONY BOSSES MOTÖRHEAD AROUND!" yelled motörhead.
Motörhead charged at the trio, but they managed to get out of the way.
"this is not good." said golden heart.
Blacklight loaded a magazine of hollow points into his pistol.
"we killed a dragon, this is nothing!" said blacklight.
Blacklight fired multiple shots at Motörhead, but they all bounced off of his metal armor.
"GGGRRRRRAAAAAA!!!!!!"
Motörhead swung his chainsaw at blacklight, he stepped out of the way, but the chainsaw grazed his leg. Blacklight bit his lip.
"ow!" yelled blacklight.
"black!" yelled golden heart.
"no more mr. Nice pony!" yelled duster.
Duster stepped forwards a step and threw down a circular device.
"hey ugly!" yelled duster. "your mom was a bitch!"
This angered motörhead. Motörhead charged at duster. Duster took two large steps backwards. Motörhead stepped on the device, activating it. The device blew up, the explosion sent Motörhead flying over duster and landed on his head, a sound of bones snapping was heard.
, the sound of his skull and neckbreaking, Motörhead was dead.
"bitch" said duster as he adjusted his hat.
Golden heart rushed over to blacklight.
"you alright?" asked golden heart.
"I'll be fine." replied blacklight.
blacklight floated out a healing potion and drank it. The wound healed itself.
"I'm good" said blacklight.
"if you two are finished making out we have a garage to search" said duster.
Golden heart and blacklight blushed
The three walked into the garage. The ground had multiple mattresses on it, and a single vehicle.
"you guys check out the rest of the building." said duster. "I'll look around here"
Blacklight and golden heart trotted up to a locked door.
"raiders must not have made it in there" said golden heart.
Blacklight floated out a screwdriver and a Bobby pin and began picking the lock. It was an easy lock, blacklight opened it on the first attempt.
"let's see what we got." said golden heart.
They opened the door and looked around. It was a large office with a desk, filing cabinets, a safe, a terminal and a ham radio.
blacklight walked towards the terminal when he heard a crunching noise. Blacklight looked down and saw that he stepped on a pony skull. There were two skeletons on the ground. One of them had a pistol next to it.
"damn" said blacklight.
Blacklight walked over to the terminal and accessed it.
There were articles in the terminal. The first was a diary, the second read operation silver bullet. Blacklight opened the diary document first.
Entry 1-
I've heard that applejack's brother died a few weeks ago. Although I show great dislike towards him, I can't help but feel sorry for the apples. Maybe I should send them that prototype I was working on.
-- flim.
Entry 2-
I'm up to my neck in work. The ministry of technology has been giving us job after job, but somehow I'm the one doing all the work. What is flam doing that keeps him soo busy?
--flim
Entry 3-
Flam went on another one if his "business trips again." where does he even go? I called the ministry and they said that flam isn't seeing them. My brother is hiding something.
--flim.
Entry 4-
Celestia damn him. I found out what flam has been doing this entire time. He has been working with the zebras! While I spent hours designing automated carriages and new weapons for the military, flam was working on a super weapon for the zebras. A bomb! Ive had it! When flam gets back, I'm going to bucking kill him!
--flim.
Blacklight stopped. A pony making weapons for the zebras. He betrayed His own kind for money. Blacklight hoped that bastard got what he deserved.
Entry 5-
What have I done. I killed him. My only brother. I shot him with a 12.7 pistol. He may have been a traitor..... But he was my brother..... My best friend.... IM COMING BRO!
--flim.
Blacklight read the last entry then looked at the skeletons. Flim and flam. Film shot flam, then out of grief shot himself. Brothers......
Blacklight opened up the operation silver bullet file, most of it was corrupted save for two files.
Blacklight opened the first file.
Dear zebra Cesar-
I believe that this weapon is exactly what you need to win the war. I'm sending the first one to you along with the schematics. My only condition is that this weapon not be used against me or my brother. I expect my payment in the usual manner.
--flam.
Blacklight opened the second file. It was blueprints. Blueprints for a Bomb. Most of the plans blacklight could not understand, but he could tell that it was plans for a bomb.
"hey black!" yelled golden heart.
Blacklight turned to see golden heart putting a gun on the desk.
"look what I found."
Blacklight got up and looked at the gun. It was an assault rifle, but it was different. It had a mid-range scope and a green synthetic stock and grip rather than wood.
"where did you find this?" asked blacklight.
"it was under the desk" replied golden heart.
Blacklight picked it up with magic and slipped it into his saddlebag.
"anything?" asked golden heart.
"nothing about the key." said blacklight.
Blacklight trotted over to the ham radio and turned it on.
"what are you doing?" asked golden heart.
"seeing if Zex is on" replied blacklight.
He tried to change the station but the knob to change it was missing. Blacklight decided to listen into the conversation going on this station.
"do we have a deal?" asked a voice.
"no your asking for too much." replied another.
The second voice sounded familiar to blacklight. And then it hit him. It was lero.
"lero!" said blacklight with a smile.
"who?" asked golden heart.
"head of the talon camp I grew up at." replied blacklight. "he was like an uncle to me."
"give us the caps or we kill your little merc." said the voice on the radio.
"kill him and you will be dealing with every griffon in this camp" replied lero.
"fine, I'll give you two more days." began the voice. "after that blade will be a slave. Then if you want him back, you have to buy his feathery ass for an even bigger price."
The transmission ended. Blacklight was in shock.
"blade."
Not only did somepony have a talon captive, but it was his brother, blade.
"you ok black?"asked golden heart.
Blacklight turned off the radio and looked at golden heart.
"my brother is in trouble."
