Fallout Equestria: Cyber's Story

Cyber's P.O.V

It was now somewhere around 4 AM maybe. I haven't been able to sleep sense I woke up about an hour or so ago. Treble was still passed out lying in the same position as when we first dosed off, and I think I could here Loose Screw lightly snoring from the next room over. Treble and I were still lying on our sides, noses touching and front hooves together. I could feel every single small breath she took, and I would be lying if I said it wasn't adorable. I didn't want to move as I didn't want to wake her up, and I had a feeling that sleep like this was rare in this wasteland of a place. I was fairly uncomfortable though, this riot gear wasn't exactly cushiony on the inside either. I attempted to move a bit, but was stopped when I heard Treble start mumbling in her sleep. I thought she was waking up, but I guess she was just dreaming. I needed to stand desperately, and it would probably be best if I did it before my legs went numb.

I started to slowly move away from Treble. She started mumbling again, she was definably dreaming, no doubt about it. Sounded like a good dream to me, she was breathing heavy, rapidly talking, sweating, or anything like that. It was probably best if I let her sleep as long as possible, I was just already fully awake.

I finally managed to get into a standing position after about five minutes. It felt good to stand and Stretch. I for sure wasn't going back to sleep, so I needed something to do. I guess I could start by ditching that riot saddle. It was useless now, some of the plastic was missing on the shield, what was left was mainly shredded or filled with holes. I levitated the riot saddle over to me and started undoing the bolt holding down the shield. It wasn't long until the shield was lying on the floorboards. Upon looking at the saddle I noticed another slot for another mechanical arm to attach something to. This gave me a brilliant idea. I could modify the riot saddle to hold two weapons. One side a ranged weapon like that AK47 I found, and the other for close quarters like the pump shotgun. The mouth part that activated the mechanical arms did have two pressure points, and that meant that it was completely possible to mount another weapon on it, and be able to fire each one separately. I still needed another mechanical arm for this to work though. I guess I could go ahead and mount at least one of them for now. I levitated the saddle and my weapons in front of my eyes, observing my options.

The pistol really wasn't worth mounting as it could be just as easily drawn out of my saddle bags just as quick. And the AK47 probably took more focus to aim, so I decided to go with the shotgun. I let the AK and pistol out of my levitation spell and then started screwing the shotgun to the mechanical arm by it's seeming universal weapon holder. And Celestia damn, it was a perfect fit. I locked the arm in place so it wouldn't fly in front of me like the shield did, and then attached the trigger mechanism to the trigger of the shotgun. I slid the battle saddle on and tied the straps down, then emptied out the shells in the shotgun so I could at least test the mechanism without having to waste any shotgun shells. I grabbed onto the mouth piece and then bit down on the left side, I was then greeted by a soft clicking noise of an empty shotgun.

"It works!" I softly, yet excitedly said to myself as I loaded some shells into the shotgun and undid the new and improved riot saddle...guess it was more of a battle saddle now.

I undid the straps on the battle saddle and then laid it with the rest of my weapons, again as softly as I could without making so much noise to wake up Treble. I looked over at her, she was still passed out. She was probably exhausted, we all were. But it probably didn't help that Treble wasn't exactly built for this kind of stuff. It's not like she's not tuff, it's more just that she war barely able to kill a bug back in the Stable, I could barely imagine her having to kill somepony. I don't think she could handle that, and that was why I was here. So she didn't have to. She was perfectly fine that I had to kill, but that was only because she wouldn't have to as long as I was around. Maybe I could give her something nonlethal if I find it. Like a tazer or something, yea, something like that wouldn't would work. I know she wouldn't give two shits if she had to simply hurt somepony that was after her. I guess something like that was the next thing on my scavenge list.

"C...Cyber...is that you?" I heard from behind me, it was Treble.

"Shit! Did I wake you up? Sorry." I said.

"No...your fine." She said, rubbing her eye with her hoof as she stood up. "Just woke up from a good sleep."

"That's good, but were you dreaming or something?" I asked.

"No, why?" She responded, her voice was still low and monotone.

"You were mumbling In your sleep. I was just wondering." I said.

"Was I really? Could you understand any of it?" She asked.

"No, it was pretty much just light gibberish." I responded.

"Oh, alright then. Is Loose Screw up yet?" She asked.

"I am now." I tired Loose Screw said from behind us.

"Hey...didn't know you were up. You okay...your eyes still a little...uhh....jacked up." I said.

"I'm good, used that other stimpack you found. Heeled it up enough to get me moving again." She said. "You two ready to head out, we got a good walk ahead of us."

"You ready Treble?" I asked.

"Yep." She responded.

"Alright then. Let me get my stuff real quick." I said as I levitated over my battle saddle and strapped it to my back, then hung the AK47 off my said by a sling and then stuck the 10mm pistol in my saddle bags.

"Let's go." I said.
