Fallout Equestria: Jackal

Chapter 4 - Nuclear Atom

3 Weeks Later

After three weeks of walking with Chocolate Swirl he suddenly stopped and ran behind some logs as I followed with Benny in tow.

"Smoothcoat, up ahead" Chocolate Swirl quietly whispered to me

Up ahead all I could see was a white unicorn with a blonde mane bloody and dirty wearing a dirty hooded jumper and with a Pip-Buck 3000 on his hoof, after a bit of walking he sat down on a rock after mumbling something to himself starting to drink a healing potion while reading a pre-war document about Megaspells.

After looking about for the ghoul Chocolate Swirl I saw him, he had snuck up on the poor bastard, firstly kicking him down before pointing his combat shotgun at the pony's head

"WHO THE HELL ARE YOU SMOOTHCOAT?!" he exclaimed asking a simple but delightful question........I mean....if you take away the shouting, and the gun, and the destroyed world and all that stuff

The pony sighed and gave him the evil eye "my name is Nuclear Atom, before that back when I was in stable 99 I was known as U-1 and why must every Celestia damned pony have to attack each other?" he said

"Uhh well uhh" Chocolate Swirl replied

"SERIOUSLY I WAS JUST TRYING TO READ A DAMN PRE WAR DOCUMENT AND NOW YOU GOT DIRT ALL OVER IT!!" he then shouted

"Alright calm down you bastard.....Sorry Atom.....can't trust anypony these days....." Swirl replied while holding out his hoof to help Atom up from the ground

Luckily Nuclear Atom took the help probably knowing he'd have his brains blown everywhere if he tried anything

"Honestly I understand that, just please don't sneak up on ponies okay?" he said, "just please don't sneak up on ponies okay, so who are you?" he then asked

"Well" Swirl said with a chuckle "I'm Chocolate Swirl and this is Jackal and his dog Benny" he replied with

I gave him a friendly nod while Benny just licked him in.......places shall we say

"Nice to meet you all" Atom said with a smile "sorry about being covered in blood I had a problem with raiders, thank Luna that I didn't get bitten by one of them"

"...Hehe.....its okay.....want to tag along with us?" Chocolate Swirl asked

"Swirl what did I say about bringing others with us" I said

"Relax, he's just another pony......and besides you need another smoothcoat to talk to" Chocolate Swirl replied with "so how about it then Atom?"

"Yeah I actually could use some friendly company" Atom said with a smile "so where are you heading?" he then asked

"To the general goods store.....we're going to loot it, at least....that's what Swirl wants to do, then after that.....we'll just wander the wastes" I replied 

"Well ever thought of going to Manehatten?" Atom asked

Me and Swirl both exchanged looks

"Sounds like a death zone" I replied

"Never been there but I'd have to agree with Jackal" Swirl said

"I have been there before, it isn't as bad as it was...but I'll come with you but then I have to go to Tenpony Tower" Atom said

"Tenpony.....tower?" I replied

"Oh for Celestia's sake..........would you tell him Atom?" Swirl said

"It's a pre war tower that survived the balefire bombs and the tower where DJ pony is, DJ Pony brings us music and news, I am heading back there for the intact Megaspell" Atom replied with

My heart stopped.....AN INTACT FUCKING MEGASPELL?!.....fuck my life just became a whole lot worse, of course, I knew where it was, it was marked on my Pip Buck, couple miles North of us, but fuck, knowing that made my life a lot more fucked

"I see, right....well....I suggest we get going to the general store" I said

"I'll come with you guys" Atom said looking at his Pip-Buck "you got any Rad Away?"

"Ghouls die from Rad-Away" Swirl replied with

"I only have one bag left" I said

"Mind if I use it? I have a little bit of rad poisoning" Atom asked

I thought for a second and then threw the bag at Atom as he catches it

"Keep it....the needle will have your blood on it, I don't want anything you have mate" I said

"I just drink the stuff it has a faster effect" Atom said before gulping down the bags contents

"Luna......alright....well lets get going" I said as Swirl, Benny, Atom and I started walking towards the general store
