Fallout Equestria: Jackal

Chapter 3 - The Long Road Ahead

5 Weeks after leaving the bunker

The five weeks after leaving the bunker wasn't easy, raiders, Applejacks Rangers, Legion, and the occasional irradiated animal, however me and Benny did fine trekking down the long highway that was Route 52 along the way we would stop at destroyed settlements and loot the place, or stop at little towns and camps to trade and buy ammo and/or food, but nothing could've prepared anypony for what me and Benny saw.

What we saw was like nothing I'd seen before, Canterlot.....in a pink cloud of death and destruction, of course being smart I decided to turn away and walk the opposite direction

"For fucks sake! 5 weeks of fucking walking, and we get to Canterlot?!" I exclaimed after kicking some buckets and breaking some bottles

Benny just sat there and barked at two raiders heading towards us, I quickly grabbed his collar and pulled him behind cover before setting my sights over one of the raiders head

Count to 4 inhale

Count to 4.................fire

Count to 2 exhale

BANG, SPLAT! the raiders brains and skull flew everywhere as the other one recoiled back in fear looking around, it was too late however, Benny had already ripped a chunk of the bastards neck out killing him, I walked over and shot the raider in the head to make sure before petting Benny and walking down Route 52 again.

6 Weeks Later

It had been six weeks since we actually saw somepony who had some brain cells left in them to understand English and also tell us where to go if we were lost.....I mean.....if you count ghouls.......some are nice ponies, while some are........lets say.....

"Feral, stay down Jackal" the ghoul I had been following said "and keep that dogs mouth quiet"

"Its okay, Benny knows what you're saying, you hear that boy? stay quiet unless told otherwise" I said looking at Benny as he nodded in reply

A couple minutes later a pack of feral ghouls ran past us chasing a filly, she was dead within a matter of seconds after getting a couple miles away from us, impressive I thought to myself

"So I never actually got your name mate, I could use another pony with me, it would mean not you know.....talking to a dog like a mad pony" I asked the ghoul that had helped us

"Hm?.....its uhh.....well I used to be Chocolate Swirl, a baker.....but you're the first pony to actually call me a pony, hehe" Chocolate Swirl replied with a slight smile on his face

"Come on, does it really fucking matter if you don't have a coat....for crying out loud you helped me....I'd gladly call you a friend any day Swirl" I said smiling and holding my hoof out for a hoofshake as he gladly shook mine and we headed off towards an old general goods store to get food and supplies.
