Fallout Equestria: Victim of the past

====================

Chapter 1

Start-Up

====================

"Ugh, what did I do last night!?" I said out loud to my self "must'a been fun, this is the worst headache I've had, and I've opened one of the official MoM party boxes and those blow you clear across the room usually." Climbing to my hooves I looklooked around to see I'm in a cellar . "okay so THAT is why I have a roaring headache, I pissed someone off enough for them to knock me out, and lock me in a cellar." note to self don't talk to my self as much.

I desided to look for stuff to "borrow" like the theif I was before ironshod hired me. so let's find the door, no point in looting if I can't get out with it I stumbled around for about ten minutes before I found a hatch that was haphazardly covered in boards. I bucked it as hard as I could, I heard a the cracking of wood but when I checked the hatch was still in one piece and wasnt damaged by anything more than a dent. well looks like I need to find the key for that. At least its uncovered now. I decided to search the smaller containers first since there's less space to hide stuff, with no luck.  time for the big crap. after searching through three filing cabinets, a class bottom of a drawer and a fridge... why do ponies love having fridges in there basement? Either way there isn't much here to search at least... finding a tool box that was yet to be searched I quickly scuttled over and poped the locking mechanism on it, i found a small pile of about 25-30 bottle caps, a combat knife that'll be useful. and a KEY! "Ah there you are ya little bugger" snatching it up with the knife and the bottle caps I turned to the door to find a locker with a busted lock on it.

"Man my lucks gana run out soon, but I may as well ride it out while I can." Walking over to the locker I yanked the rusted out husk of a lock off and swung the door open to find, a black duster, a dark gray under barding and a pair of saddle bags that gave no indication of who's they were, but it being black leather as well. "Not what I was expecting." Seeing as i was currently without clothes and for all I know that light shining through could be a lamp so it could be night. I personally love the night, it makes seeing me so much harder and any flashlights ruin nightvision, also it is always calm at night compared to the hustle and bustle of day where you had to levitate or fly to not get trampled. pulling it off the rack and puting it on I found it fit perfectly.

"Alright now to get out of this hole in the ground."

Climbing up the stairs that were steep enough to be a ladder, I floated the key up to the lock and twisted it. Heaving the hatch open with my hooves AND telekinesis I climbed out to the surface

"What in celestials name is this place!?" I shouted not careing who heard. What lay before me was not the equestria I knew and loved but a burnt out husk where even the grass had fled. "How in the hell did all this happen?"

*CLICK*

"Move a muscle and your head is gana be all over this wall." Said a distinctly feminine voice from right behind me in a harsh yet not angry tone.

Having a dad in the army had its perks, you would always know if he had an empty pistol or a loaded dart gun aimed at your head. "Permission to speak?" I said acting like I'm talking to a drill sergeant.

"Uh g.. Granted" she said loosening any hint of command in her voice.

I spun around grabbed the shotgun that she was holding VERY awkwardly in her hooves, then poped the breach in the double barrel shotgun "nice try with the bluff but don't hit the trigger when ya put it up to the target..." I closed the breach and aimed it at her.

*CLICK*

"It clicks when its empty." I said while smileing , how ever that didn't last when I saw who I aimed at, it was a small filly with ajet black mane and a dark maroon coat. She was crying softly after I realized this wasn't someone who wanted to kill be. "H.. Hey its alright I didn't mean to scare ya." Her crying lessened but kept going. Crouching down I put a hoof on her back. "Its alright I'll give ya the gun back" sliding it over to her she pulled it up to her chest and her crying lessened enough for her to look at me.

"I.. I.. I'm sorry" she whispered in the quietest voice I've ever heard.

"Its okay little one, why did you do it though?" I spoke in the gentlest voice I could.

"I.. I did it to get caps from you and scavenge this place." She said a bit more confidently.

"caps?, what do you mean by caps?" I asked questioningly but still kindly.

"What are caps!?" She said exasperated all the sadness before during off as quick as you could blink, "have you been living under a rock for the past 200 hundred years? Caps are our money in the wasteland, I don't know what stuff like this shot gun are worth though." She said happily like nothing happened.

"Um. Alright, wait 200 years? Since what happened?" I asked completely confused.

"Since balefire hit equestria."

"So this" gesturing to the wasteland "is the aftermath of that." I said guessing at why the world was a husk now. I knew about balefire it is a VERY destructive spell that could be activated even by a earthpony if stored right.

"Um... Yes" she replied getting scared again.

"Don't worry, wait where are your parents?" I asked concerned. She started to cry to her self next to me. "What's wrong?" I brought the caring sound back to my voice again.

"Th... They are... Gone" she said with a small sniffle before she finished. "We got hit by slavers on the way to New Appleoosa with our caravan. They took me and my brother and me then killed everyone else." She said mid sniffle.

"Slavers." I said with new menace appearing I. My voice. "Wait, how did you escape?" I asked with sincere worry.

"They put a really bad lock on the cage so I broke it off then snuck out. I wanted to get enough caps to pay for my brother but that's about 400 caps and I found 5" she started to cry again.

"Woah woah, its alright. You said somethin about a New Appleoosa, what did ya mean?" I asked with sincere curiosity.

"Um... Its the town right down the road from here its kind of hard to miss, just look for train cars I guess." She said needing to pause several times to think.

"Thank you..."

"Allen wrench" she said finishing my thought for me.

"Thank you Allen Wrench." I started to walk in the direction she pointed in when I thought of something. Turning around I walked back and put a gentle hoof on her shoulder. "Hey Allen wrench do ya wana come with me to New Appleoosa? I don't want ya wandering and possibly being caught again."

She perked up at that, "SURE!" She said excitedly.

I smiled at that.I may be cold as a windego's breath sometimes but if a foal gets involved I will help in any way I can. "so let's get going." I said cheerfully.this was gana be a great day...

this is gana be one of the worst days in my life

"Celestial damn it" I said as another volly of assault rifle rounds flew over the rock we had dove behind for cover.

"I wish I had ammo for this stupid shotgun, I could be helping so much right now" Allen Wrench said with a whimper as a peices of rock fell next to her.

"You and me both kid" I said quietly as the bullets stopped flying. I raised a hoof to my muzzle in a "shooshing" gesture to keep Allen quiet.

"Hope they aren't pulp afta that I want ta have a little " fun" with that mare." Said one of the male "raiders" who fired at us.

"Ya know even for you that's sick, it was just a filly, doubt it even had its mark yet" said the other male with a disgusted time in his voice.

"Ah wat eva I don't care there all the same ta me." The first said "ya can have the front if ya want."

*THUD*

"Yea nah, I don't think ya want that now do ya rusty spade?" Said a 3rd raider this time a mare. "Ya got me here"

"Of coarse" replied Rusty

"Go look at the victims we got. while I loot this asshole here." Said the mare again now outing a less intimate tone and more yelling orders.

"You got it."

wait till he gets by the rock, use your horn to run him through, then take the gun my brain already forming a plan of action.

The moment he walked around the corner I jumped at him, but sadly  I missed.

"Well that could have gone better" I said to my self now turning to see the butt of an assault rifle mid swing towards me. Dodgeing to the left I punched the gun away to hear it snap in half fine I didn't need that anyway. ducking beneath his swing I jabbed at his gut, only to get a rear hoof kick to the face. "Agh" I yelled as I was thrown back. Me swinging first I landed a hit on his shoulder but put only half the force I could have by miss judging the angle. He bucked at me but hit a boulder instead looseing a avalanche onto us. I rolled about ten hoof steps away just as the rocks came down onto him, killing him instantly. I turned just in time to see a zebra sword flying at me, I tried to dodge but it cut my right leg leaving a deep gash that started to bleed instantly.

"Ugh" I groaned as I picked up the sword in my telekinesis. I learned a while ago that throwing your melee weapon only throws your only defense away. I charged the mare to see she now had a .44 revolver about two inches from my head.

"Ah it seems I have the upper hoof now. At least I could watch a good fight between you two."

"Wasn't he your husband or lover?"

"Ha, him?" She waved the gun at the corpse that was half buried in rock "I didn't care I can get another stallion when I get back to camp"

"You are sick aren't you."

"Not as much as some of my friends" she smiled with a devilish grin, she clicked the hammer back on the gun "well good bye"

"Could be worse"

"W.. What? What do you mean?"

"I mean at least I don't have a double barreled shotgun about to fire at me." I started to smile as she took in what I said

"Fuck yo-"

*BOOM*

Here head was no more than a red mess on the floor now "at least the bad guys talk so much, am I right?" Allen said as she poped the breach and ejected the two spent shells.

"Yes, thank you Allen it could have been me with no head if you hadn't snuck around." I said letting out a breath I had no idea I could hold while talking.

"No problem, I don't want you to be dead too your my friend!"

"Um thanks. I'll go look at every ponies bodies alright?" I asked hesitantly not knowing how she would react

"Go right ahead." She smiled a bit as she said it and leaned against a boulder.

I nodded then started searching, first I checked the made with the .44, I gained ten caps around 30 rounds of .44 and 5 of armor piercing rounds, some REALY horrible leather armor that I could use to repair my duster... Hopefully. Moving on I found a pack of ciggerets which I shoved into my saddle bags, as I only ever thought of them as death on a stick so I hope I can sell them. I found about 15 shotgun shells and somehow 2 dragons breath rounds. Stuffing those in my saddle bags for now I moved on to the crushed stallion. To find about 50 55.6 ammo in his saddle bags and a universal pistol silencer. "Now THAT could come in handy." Stuffing it in my saddle bags that were only half full. "Alright I'm done." I said as I floated out the shotgun ammo but not giveing the dragons breath rounds cause those were even rare BEFORE the apocalypse so they had to sell for good money.

"The way from here to New Appleoosa I walked by guards so much, I really doubt we will run into any trouble." She said confidently.

Well I hope she is right I need to get this leg checked out, this sword cut REALY deep, I hope tetanus doesn't set in before we get therethere, it could be worse I could have died. Or didn't get a new silenced gun and a zebra sword to boot..

"I wonder if I'll see anyone from the old equestria at this New Appleoosa." I said to my self.
