Fallout: Equestria - A Mercenary's Story
Chapter 2
Previous ChapterNext ChapterI looked into my scope, scanning the area in front of me for the target, i couldn't see anything expect the depressing sea of brown. I got up off the group and i kept walking, hoping to find some form of cliff to find my target. Soon i saw the faint glow of fire, i ducked behind a rock and looked into my scope, i could see the camp but this wasn't a good place to shoot from. I would get spotted quick, i saw a cliff with a quite broken tower not to far from me. I took out the stealthbuck, i turned it on turning invisible "Merya, stay here..." I whispered. I started sneaking to the cliff tower. While i climbed up the cliff to the tower. I looked for a latter on the tower but there was none, there was no way to get on top of it. I dropped onto my belly looking into my scope, i lined up a shot to one of the guards. Firing a shot into his head, i quickly pulled the bolt getting on my hooves rushing to another place to shoot. I couldn't stay in one place and shoot, i would get seen fast. I got down again firing at another guard but the bullet flew past it. I saw the last guard that i missed raise his assault rifle aiming at me. I looked at my body noticing i am not invisible anymore. I sighed firing back at it but with bullets flying past me, i couldn't aim right and i hit his chest. I saw the caravaner trying to hide. I sighed swinging my rifle to my back pulling out my SMG in my mouth. I slid down the cliff, once i get to the ground level rolling behind what seems to be a half of a blown up house, i fired a few shots into the wounded guards head. I got up putting away my SMG. I took out my combat knife walking to caravaner.
"No! Dont kill me! I swear i wont swindle those refugees anymore!"
I dropped my knife out of my mouth "Wait... That camp was a refugee camp?" The caravaner nodded "What kind of refugees?"
The caravaner sat up "Well its people running from the war down near New Pegasuses. You know the gambling place?"
"Ya, i know the place..." With out a second thought i picked my knife again stabbing him in the temple, slashing off his hoof. I put it in my water proof pocket i made from a weird pre-war lunch bag. I got up heading to the rock. I saw Merya playing with a pre-war bit. "Come on Merya..." I walked back over to the guard taking the ammo on all of them, i took the caps from caravaner walking back to town.
I walked into town, as i passed the ponies i saw the looks they gave me, It was looks of pure disgust, bigots...
I walked into Fruitpops office and like normal i tossed the hoof on her desk. "Taxes~ Lets see... Rifle... Room... Oh you know the drill" She passed me the caps, only 15... I cheeked the caps i got from the caravaner. 100 caps... Plenty to get dinner and buy supplies to brew some health potions and ammo. I headed to the weapon store selling all of the junk to get around 50 caps, i payed 70 for ammo leaving me with 80 caps to get food and supplies for brewing. I left the store and walked over to the supply store where they sell basically everything buying herbs for 40 caps leaving me with 40 more caps to buy food, and i left going to Star's restaurant
"Oh hey Kalin! Hows your money issue going?" I sighed a bit
"Well better then last night. I got 40 caps left... Godess dammit..." I guess now would be a good time to explain something. You see to me and most zebras there is one god and its a godess, and shes not a alicorn or any thing like that. Shes just a zebra who made such a magical potion she grew more powerful then anything alive and now watches over the world.
Star smiled "Well you still got the discount, so what will it be?" I thought for a moment
"A... Lizard on a stick, dirty water, some soup, and a sparkle-cola would be good..." Star nodded going into the store to get the food, i sat back on the chair like normal when i wait and i petted Merya's back softly. Star came out putting the stuff down, i took the lizard off the stick putting it down in front of Merya, using the stick to move it around, Merya quickly snapped its tail into the lizards back and devoured it, i used my hoof to dig a small whole where the lizard was and i poured the water in letting Merya drink, i turned to the soup and sparkle-cola and i got to eating.
Once i was full i got up taking the sparkle-cola bottle with me, i went to my room and opened the closet pulling out my cauldron, i started to get to work on making the potions, i hummed a song i got stuck in my head. It had something to do with being Octavia or something, it was a odd song.
Once the brew was done i collected it in all the empty sparkle-cola bottles i had. Anything left i would store in a old pre-war cooler and keep it for latter, i fell face first in bed, I was quite tired after all, and i drifted into the void that is sleep...
