Fallout Equestria: Jackal

Chapter 5 - The Sewers

"So swirl what is it like being a ghoul?" Nuclear Atom asked "I mean you are the only ghoul that I met that has not attacked me other then ditsy doo but her tongue was cut off"

"Shit.....you get bullied by ponies that aren't ghouls.....but there's a plus....you can walk into any irradiated hellhole and be healed by the radiation" Chocolate Swirl replied

"That is a plus I guess... but I don't care what anypony is as long as they don't attack me" Atom said

"Well I guess you're the same as Jackal" Swirl replied

We continued walking for a couple hours getting to the general goods store, I took out my 9mm pistol and opened the door with it raised, it was pretty clear inside, Benny sniffed around for a bit, he didn't do anything so it was clear, instantly Swirl starting shoving anything he could find into his saddlebags.

I however was trying to find anything that was edible, I found a couple of Mint-Al's along with some bottles of purified water, I took one irradiated bottle of water to test back at the bunker, I had a small prototype of a water purifier after all, needed something to test it on, water was the best thing I thought.

After getting everything we needed, Swirl, Atom, Benny and myself walked outside as I looked around for the way to exit the town.

"So what about you Jackal what is your story?" Atom asked

"Uhh.....it doesn't really matter Atom but lets get going to Tenpony Tower" I replied with

"It's getting late" Swirl said "We'll rest at that house there, Jackal, you and Benny are night watch"

"Fuck, fine, okay" I replied

We walked inside the house......after Swirl had kicked the door open, Swirl and Atom lay on the beds falling asleep as I sat there in silence with Benny listening out for anything. After a couple of hours Swirl got up and walked over to me

"Let's go, Atom just wants to go to Tenpony Tower, you don't do you?" Swirl said

"Not particularly no" I replied

After Swirl had got his stuff we quietly left the house and started to walk down the road, until......

"YEAH FUCKING DIE!!!" the raider screamed while firing at us

I swiftly ran around the side of the massive raider and aimed at his head

Count to 4 inhale

Count to 4 shoot.....exhale

BANG! SPLAT! his head exploded again into a mess of skull, flesh, eyes and brain, but unfortunately his friends had seen me and now had both me and Swirl pinned down.

After a couple seconds everything went silent.........

"THAT IS WHAT YOU GET FOR TRYING TO KILL MY FRIENDS YOU STUPID DISEASED CANNIBALS!!" the voice shouted

Well shit, it was Nuclear Atom, great

After realizing who it was, the three of us quickly ran into the sewers and down the stairs....great....sewers I thought, again, fuck my life.

"Yuck, sewers, I hate the sewers" I complained like a colt

"Suck it up you big baby, its just the sewers, besides would you rather be up there with the pony we ditched?" Swirl said

"Um.......yeah I think sewers are my favourite place now" I replied

As we trudged through the irradiated sewers Swirl's life was.....taken.....a couple of feral ghouls tackled him off the high drop down into the depths below....I quickly kept running Benny close behind me, up ahead I could see a light, SUNLIGHT I thought....but I was wrong

"You there! quickly get through the gates!" A voice shouted

I did as they said and dived through the gates as Benny ran through quickly sitting down beside me as I stood up

I was in a whole new place, and I probably owed them a debt for saving my life, but it was a nice looking place.
