Fallout Equestria: A Heart Full of Bullets

We trotted through the wasteland, edging closer to our destination, the thought of seeing more ponies die on my mind. The voice in my head telling me to turn around and shoot the two following us was getting louder. I was afraid of killing them though, what if my insanity broke free in the middle of it, I couldn't risk that,

"Bulletmoon," I shook my thoughts away, as Appleseed whispered my name in my ear,

"Yes," I turned my head slightly,

"How dangerous is this bridge exactly," she asked worryingly, I thought about it on a scale from one to ten,

"On a scale from one to ten, I give it a ten, reasons being there are bombs strapped underneath with an two hundred foot drop of radiation enough to kill, not to mention the heavily armed ponies on the other said that are extremely hostile," she seemed to jump beside me,

"Is it really that bad," I just stared forward and nodded, my imagination leading to even more fear, I had to stop this.

I stopped walking and turned around, everypony followed suite. I leaned over and whispered to Appleseed,

"Repeat after me ok," she nodded,

"We are about to hit the most dangerous part of our journey, a bridge of death if we aren't quiet enough. I need to know how well you are with this aspect," Appleseed repeated me, her voice seeming to waver more as she explained it,

"Well I'm ok with it, but why can't we just fly across," the stallion asked,

"Do you wanna be shot down, I suggest you listen and follow my exact movements when we go across, understood," they all nodded,

"Good, now it will come into view in about three minutes, then it will come up about a minute after that, be alert, be ready,"

As we came across the beginning of the bridge, everything was quiet except for the wind blowing strongly into us. We all crouched and slowly weaved our way through the carts, going around or under each one, our movements quick but silent,that is until one flipped over and our cover was blown, along with the enclave having a sniper, we were seen in seconds, and a bullet flew past my ear, helping me realize we had been caught,

"SHIT, EVERYPONY TAKE COVER," I yelled before grabbing Appleseed and jumping behind another cart,

I turned to see the other two ponies taking cover, the stallion opening fire with his smg. Slowly making their way back to the beginning, their eyes staring at something, that's when I realized they could see the detonation device meant for the bridge. I quickly looked over and hit SATS. From what I could see there were eight enclave pegasi with plasma weapons, one in particular holding a stick with a red button, the detonation device. I aimed my weapon for it and let SATS do it's work.

My eyes widened when my shots missed, it was rare for SATS to miss, but I was aiming at a smaller target so, it was understandable, it still passed me off though,

DAMN IT, looks like we are going to plan B, I thought before grabbing Appleseed, throwing her on my back and running towards the other two, who had gotten the message and started running themselves,

I swerved through the carts before deciding to jump carts right as I heard a bang and the sound of a bridge crumbling behind me. I soon realized the little weight I was carrying and turned to see Appleseed laying on the ground, reaching out towards me, her face full of fear,

"BULLETMOON," she called as the bridge gave way beneath her,

"APPLESEED," I called, my heartbeat racing,

I'm going to regret this, I told myself as I charged towards the crumbling bridge,

I felt my hooves push off the pavement as I jumped after Appleseed, her screams echoing on the walls of the canyon. I thrust myself forward, pushing my hooves to my sides, moving faster towards her, I knew that if I could catch her and hit the ground first, the other two ponies could get her back home with a broken bone and some small radiation problems. I reached a hoof towards her and watched as we got closer to the ground, I soon felt her hoof grasp mine and I quickly swung myself under her before gripping hold of her waist and pulling her close. I closed my eyes and waited for an impact, but it didn't come, instead a pony was holding us with his teeth. I opened my eyes to see a sight I thought I would never see,

Jack.
