I gasped awake, yelling my friend's name at the top of my lungs. I rolled on to my stomach and looked at my surroundings,
"It...it was just a dream, a nightmare that's all-" I rubbed my hoof through my mane,
"-a heh, just...a dream...DAMN IT-" I slammed my hoof into the wooden wall of my home, a splintering crack followed.
I felt the anger surge through me, like it was a drug, but much worse. I turned my head to the hoof against the now cracked wood. DAMN IT, that's the third, straight time, I pulled my hoof away to inspect it for any damage. There was none, but of course when the adrenaline leaves the body, I will feel the pain, and I did.
"Fuck Celestia to high heaven, that hurts!" -I shook my hoof, trying to rid myself of the pain- "I better go find myself a stimpak, I think I might have broken my...damn it!"
I rolled back on to my back and kicked the sheets off. I rolled off my bed, and on to the wooden floor, below putting to much pressure on my hoof as I did so. I winced, I needed that stimpak, badly. I limped my way into the kitchen, not even caring that it was still dark out. I moved towards the counter next to the sink,
"Come on, where the hell is it-" I moved my good hoof across the counter top until I felt the needle of the stimpak, "-aha!" I yelled moving my hoof away from the needle and focusing my magic on it. I raised my hoof to level it with the now floating needle. I stabbed the needle into my hoof and pressed the (I don't know what it's actually called, never read anything about) plunger down, sending the nanobots in me. I sighed with relief as I could no longer feel the pain.

I walked through the wasteland, the sun just now rising over the horizon. After I had healed, completely I decided to head into the wasteland and check the perimeter. I put on my cloak, pulling the hood over my head, I grabbed my sniper rifle, my assault rifle, and finally my colt six shot revolver. I moved, cautiously, my assault rifle, cocked and ready to fire. I lived in, probably the worst part of the wasteland. My home was right next to the ruins of Ponyville, raider territory. Which meant I could be jumped at any moment. The closest, most civilized town, was New Appleooza, and that was about a week's trip, if I walked.
There was one stable close by, which I considered was to dangerous to go near. It really was that it was so damn creepy. It had been abandoned for awhile and there were probably things in there I didn't want to see or come across. Unfortunately, I would probably have to venture in there at some point and deal with- my E.F.S., or Eyes Forward Sparkle read three hostiles right in front of me. I looked up to see three slavers talking over a breakfast campfire. They were about a hundred yards away, and they hadn't noticed me yet. I dropped to my stomach and levitated my sniper rifle in front of me. I pulled down the tripod and cocked the bolt-action rifle.
"Now, what brings you this close to raider territory, especially without slaves?" I whispered to myself, as I looked through the scope.
"Where the hell is that damn alicorn, it's been two days now?" the one on the right said, tapping his hoof on the dirt.
Alicorn? What the hell does Red-eyes want with them? I questioned myself, trying to think of the possibilities.
"You know what, fuck the alicorn bitch, let's kill the piece of shit ghost now,"the one on the left said, turning his rifle towards me.
SHIT, it's a trap I pulled the trigger on Lefty, the pony on the left. His head exploded, spraying bits and pieces of brain on the other two. They dove behind cover, as I cocked the rifle again. They were both earth ponies, so they were easy pickings, since they would have to use their teeth to fire. Righty, lifted his head and gun, BANG, the bullet went through his eye and out the back of his head. I cocked the rifle again, the third one was playing smart, but he wasn't smart enough. I left my sniper on the ground and levitated the colt out of its holster and slowly crawled my way towards the log he was hiding behind,
"Shit, shit, shit, I'm so dead I'm-" I blew his head off before he could finish, but it wasn't over.
There was a loud,CRACK and the dirt exploded beside me.
"SHIT!" I yelled as I dove behind the log with the corpse.
I gagged when I saw the corpse, his blood painted the log with a few pieces of brains, here and there. I checked my E.F.S, there were ten targets on the other side of the log. I quickly pulled up the map on my pipbuck, the closest shelter was the stable, about a mile run. I turned to see an old barn,
"It has to be in there," I told myself as I stared at the worn down building.
I could make it, I just had to run in a straight, CRACK, the wood above me exploded,
"I can't believe I'm doing this" I said and jumped out of cover and ran as fast as I could towards the barn.
CRACK, BANG BANG, CRACK, they all opened fire on me as I ran. I was half way when a bullet pierced my flank,
"GAH" I yelped, but I kept running. My flank was in pain as I charged through the two barn doors and right into the stable. I stopped at the control panel and pulled the lever down. An orange light flashed as the mechanism worked its way to sealing the door. There was a large BANG as the door sealed, leaving me in the pitch black darkness of the stable.
