Fallout Equestria: Cyber's Story

Cyber's Point of View

So...this was it? This was The Bunker? Just a door leading into the ground. It can't be very big on the inside, I mean it couldn't possibly be any bigger then The Stable...could it? The Stable was nothing but cramped rooms and claustrophobic hallways. Then again...who's to say? It's not like any of us have been in The Bunker before. And we for damn sure didn't have the wasteland status to be questioning anything out here. I guess our next step is to knock.

"Well guys...guess we should knock." I said as we began to walk towards the steel door.

For some reason I was nervous about this. We had no clue what was on the other side of this door, yet we where just walking right up to it, seemingly without a care in the world.

"Careful Cyber." I heard Treble say from behind me. Guess she was thinking the same thing.

As we step up to the door I lift up my hoof and give three strong knocks on the cold steel, then wait for a response. Seconds go by, soon minutes without a response.

"Should we knock again?" Loose Screw asked.

"I guess." I said as I lifted my hoof back up to the door, this time five strong knocks, then we waited.

Still nothing. Was no one hear? That doesn't make sense though. Why would a civilized place like this be empty? And shouldn't there be some of Click's guards out here, the place was paying for protection after all, yet it still seemed vacant.

"Something doesn't seem right about this." I said.

"Yea, its like no ones here." Loose Screw said.

"You don't think something happened...do you?" Treble asked.

"Actually...that's exactly what I think." I said.

"What do you mean?" Treble responded.

"Well. It's not like they would leave this place abandoned. It's suppose to be huge inside, meaning lots of people, which means there would be guards. I don't think any one is here, and if there is, I doubt we want to meet them." I said.

That seemed to make Treble shiver with fright. She definitely didn't like the idea of all the ponies who lived here to be dead, I don't think any of us did.

"The question is...do we go inside?" Loose Screw said.

It was a good question at that. Do we actually go in and see if we find any survivors, or do we go back and go ahead and tell Clicks we couldn't get the money. No...that's a bad idea, that couldn't possibly go well. Do we just not return? Do we go ahead to Dawnstar's place? I was really at a loss right now, hell...we still didn't even know whether or not there was ponies here, we were just making assumptions at this point.

"What do you two want to do?" I asked Treble and Loose Screw.

"What are our options?" Loose Screw responded.

"I have a few in mind. Either we go in, investigate for any survivors, and try to find the money in the process. Or we could just go ahead to Dawnstar's place. Or a combination of the two. We could just take a look inside, see if anypony is alive, then get out and head to Dawnstar's place when were done." I said.

"Well...the first one is preferred." Treble said.

"Yea, but there could be some good loot inside if no ponies here." Loose Screw said, her mind must be stuck on thinking this place is vacant.

"I personally want to at east try to take a look inside. It wouldn't hurt, the ponies that where here where friendly. Then we can get to Dawnstar's place." I said.

"But what will Clicks and his group do if he finds out we didn't get his money? That couldn't possibly end well." Treble said.

"We could fake our deaths." Loose Screw suggested. This was definitely an option.

"How do you propose we do that?" Treble asked.

"I think I could figure something out there." I said.

"And what would that be?" Loose Screw asked as Treble looked at me with a face of wonder.

"Well...if nopony is here then we could always destroy the place. He knows this was our current destination, so we could destroy it and not show up to his place and go straight to Dawnstar's. He'll come looking here first when he realizes we have been gone for far to long, see the place in ruins, then assume were dead. Simple as that." I said, taking pride in my suggestion.

"That might just work." Loose Screw said.

"It's evil...but not as bad as that Clicks guy." Treble said.

"So were going in?" I asked.

"I guess so." Treble said.

Loose Screw just nodded in agreement.

"Alright, now how do we get the door open." I said.

"I got this one." Loose Screw said as she stepped out in front of us and proudly pranced up to the door.

"What do you have planned?" I suspiciously asked.

"You'll see...might wanna take a few steps back though." Loose Screw said with a smirk across her face.

That didn't sound good. But yet we did just that. Loose Screw continued to glance back at us.

"What?" I asked.

"A few more." She said.

Yet again we listened. But this time watched as she reached back into her saddle bag and pulled out a medium sized, circular tin with a red button on the top and then strap it to the door with some industrial grade tape button side up.

"What is that?" Treble asked.

"You'll see!" She lightly yelled as she trotted back to us. "Alright...see that red button Cyber?"

"Umm...yeah." I responded.

"I want you to use your magic and throw a rock at it." She said with much excitement in her voice.

"Umm...alright." I said as I found a small rock lying on the ground and picked it up with a levitation spell, then lightly threw it at the red button.

"FIRE IN THE HOLE!" Loose Screw yelled as her smile grew much louder. That's when Treble and I realized what Loose Screw put on the door.

We both hit the deck as soon as she screamed and then listened to the sound of an explosion and breaking metal that was not to far from us. Once it was nice and quiet Treble and I stood back up. We both stared down Loose Screw through her one eye, she was now practically bouncing around with glee until she noticed we were staring at her.

"What? I take pride in my work." She said.

"Where the hell did you get a landmine?" I yelled.

"Remember that one you stepped on and I disarmed for you?" She asked "Well...I kept it then reactivated it."

"When?" Treble added in.

"Just now." She smiled.

"Your still a bit crazy aren't you?" I asked.

"More then likely." She said as she trotted up to the entrance of the now destroyed door.

We followed and all stood at the entrance to The Bunker. All we could see through the door was a long flight of stairs that led to what looked to be darkness.

"We going in?" Treble asked.

"Yep." I said as I began walking down the extremely long flight of stairs.

It wasn't to long until we reached the bottom of the stairs and were greeted by a decent sized metal room with a larger door that led into the main facility...which was also locked.

"How do you suggest we get through this one." I asked.

"Not sure...don't have an explosive big enough." Loose Screw said.

"Wait...you have more?!" I said.

"That doesn't matter." She said.

"Uhh...hell yea it matters." I responded.

"Guys. We'll sort that out later." Treble said. "But I got this one." Treble said.

This through me off...what did Treble think she was going to do with this door?

"What...uh...what exactly do you have planned here Treble?" I asked as she sat herself down in front of the large, steel door and pulled out a bobby pin.

"Well...remember all those time's I broke out of my room to come see you back at the Stable?" She said.

"Yea. Why?" I asked.

"Well. I had to break out some how...hey, do any of you have a screw driver?" She said...don't tell me she could pick locks.

"You can pick locks, can't you?" I asked in disbelief as Loose Screw handed her the screw driver she was asking for.

There was a small pause as the door made a loud clicking noise and shot open.

"Yep...but I don't think I should have picked the lock Cyber." She said with a sickening look on her face. "Come look."

I walked over and looked through the crack in the now open door...definitely didn't like what I saw. I don't think any of us did.
