Fallout Equestria: Cyber's Story

Cyber's Point of View

This...was horrifying. I could hear bullets hitting all around me. Every time one hit the rock Treble and I was behind I could feel it. Every time one flew above me, it seemed to make a noise I have never heard before, it was comparable to something of an extremely quick burst of high powered wind going by your ear. Every time it happened I nearly shit myself. Treble was nearly frightened stiff, I was constantly having to snap her back into reality. Loose Screw, despite her death defying injuries, was right there with me. We were constantly peeking up and blindly firing rounds down the hill. Hell, I don't even know if Loose Screw's sawed off shotgun was reaching the raiders. At least the blizzard was dying down, I could finally see more then ten feet in front of me. I'm assuming that we were all low on bullets. I only had seven shots left.

"How many shells you have Screw?" I asked, she was currently laying on her back behind a fallen tree about twenty feet away from the rock Treble and I were at.

"Six shells, so I have three shots left. I think I'm just wasting shots though, they don't seem to reach!" She yelled back. "Is Treble even shooting?"

I looked over sat Treble, she was shaking her head back and forth. Eyes wide open.

"No, I told her she wouldn't have to, remember." I responded as I popped back up and sent another round down the hill, this time I think I hit a raider in the front legs as he fell over in pain. Nine shots left.

"We need to wait for them to get close!" Loose Screw yelled.

This was smart. These shotguns didn't seem to have range on them whatsoever, but then I remembered Trebles 10mm pistol. I may not know much about guns, but it was worth a try.

"Treble, can I see your gun?" I asked, it didn't take much for her to give it up.

I levitated the gun over and checked to see how many shots I had, but first I had to find where the bullets went in this thing. The shotgun was simple, you just simply slid shells into an obvious slot on the bottom. However this thing didn't have a slot like the shotgun, just a trigger, sights, and a few buttons. One button was labeled SAFE and FIRE, it was currently on FIRE, probably smart to keep it there. The other button was just a small circle, I guess it didn't hurt to push it. The worst it could do was just make the gun not work or something. I pushed the button...then out came a small, rectangular box from the bottom of the pistol...and it was filled from the bottom to the top with bullets.

I slid the rectangle back in...backwards at first, but I figured it out. Then I popped up from behind the rock and aimed the sights directly at the chest of a raider armed with what looked to be a pitchfork with only one point, a crazed smile on her face as she charged upwards towards us. I squeezed the trigger with my magic, and the gun popped. It was quitter then the shotgun and had much less kick, yet it definably had more range then a shotgun. I guess that shotguns were for up close encounters when you needed to drop something with a single shot, yet completely useless at longer distances. This pistol, however, had significantly more range, but much less power. I needed to put another shot into the raider's chest to drop her for good.

"What is that?" I heard Loose Screw yell from her tree.

"It's that 10mm pistol we got from that raider. I have a plan now, I'll get the one's at a distance, you take them out if they get to close." I yelled as I dropped another charging raider around thirty yards down the hill.

"Sounds good! I'll just wait here." She responded.

Then I looked over at Treble.

"Were gonna be okay." I said.

"Promise." She asked, her voice was trembling. I was surprised there was a few tears in her eyes.

"Would never lie." I said as I popped back up from the rock and dropped another raider, this time my first shot missed and I needed an additional two shots to kill the raider.

I noticed that we now had five out of the original twelve raiders that started charging towards us dead, so that meant seven were left.

"Only seven left!" I yelled over to Loose Screw.

"Good, let's end this quick!" She responded.

I popped up yet again and popped off three shots, killing another raider. But this time my 10mm's slide that ejected the empty bullets stayed back instead of going back forward like it usually did. This startled me, I thought my gun broke, but then I looked inside the slide, there wasn't any bullets left in the gun. I guess that was how you knew to put more bullets in.

I hunkered down behind the rock and started looking for more 10mm bullets. I used my magic to pull over the corpse of the raider that we got the pistol off of, then started searching for any type of bullets I could find.

He had seven 10mm rounds laying in the bottom of his torn up saddle bags, and four rounds that my pipbuck labeled 7.62 NATO ROUNDS. I had no clue what kind of gun these went to, but it must have been powerful as the round was every bit as long as the 12g shotgun shells, yet they looked to be in the same style brass casing as the 10mm pistol. I would have to inspect these later, I stuck them in my saddle bags and started to reload the pistol.

I removed the small rectangular bullet holder and started sliding all seven bullets in the top of the box, then sliding it back into the pistol. As soon as the bullet box went in the gun, the slide shot forward. I was now ready to shoot again, but then I heard Loose Screw pop off a shot. Did the raider's already get that far up here? I peeked over at Loose Screw's downed tree, there was one raider laying on the tree nearly headless. Another behind the tree...on top of Loose Screw. She was screaming in pain, and those screams where nearly drowned out by insane, maniacal laughter. I looked up from my rock and popped off four shots, two raider's fell, one with another 10mm pistol, another with a shovel.

"Stay here Treble." I said as I gave her my baton. "If you have to, aim for the head. It will only knock them out, I promise." I told her as I flipped down the mask on her riot helmet. "I'll be right back, Screw needs help."

"You sure it won't kill them?" She said, her voice was loud and worrying.

"Yes." I said as I turned and ran over to Loose Screw's tree, picking up my shotgun off the ground along the way.

As I was running over, I felt a bullet hit me directly in the side. It stung like hell, but I have never been so grateful for armor in my life. I think it stopped the bullet just enough to not pierce the plating. I simply shook it off and made it the rest of the way to the tree.

As I charged in I head-butted the raider on top of Loose Screw, causing him to fall over on the ground. I was again thankful for my helmet. I quickly pushed the barrel of the shotgun on his chest, then pulled the trigger. More blood splattered the snow under us...then I noticed all the blood on his mouth, then I looked at Loose Screw. The metal piece that was originally stuck in her eye with dried up blood and puss was now lying next to her, blood surrounding it...and around Loose Screw's head. The raider literally ripped it out...for fun...just like Loose Screw had said, raider's were heartless bastards who would rather kill you for fun. They deserved death.

She wasn't dead, but she was definably unconscious. I levitated her up onto my back and ran back over to Treble, another round nearly hitting me on the way. But I made it. Treble was fine, she was still in the same position as when I left, except now a baton was clenched in her teeth. I laid Loose Screw in the snow, blood dipping and oozing out of her eye socket. I was actually glad that she was passed out, I wouldn't want anyone to be conscious in that state.

"2 left, I'll get them." I said to Treble. "You see if you can patch her up at all if you can."

"Okay, that I can do." Treble said as she started crawling over to Loose Screw.

I peeked back over the rock, 1 of the final two raiders where climbing up the hill with a knife clenched in her mouth. I picker her off with one clean headshot. I couldn't find the other though, maybe he or she went back into the barn. I stood up completely to get a better view, no raider in sight...except for one peeking his head out of the barn's main entrance.

"You're not hiding from me." I said as a carefully aimed the pistol, angling the sight's slightly above the raider's head. Then pulled off two shots...the raider fell...headshot. That was it...we won...none of us were dead, but we where all scared...some more then others.

"That's all! We have to get to the barn, come on. I'll get Loose Screw, you follow me." I said to Treble.

"Okay. Lets go." She said.

I put the 10mm pistol in my saddle bag and attached the larger shotgun to my riot gear. Then I levitated Loose Screw back on top of me, then ran down the hill to the barn as fast as I could without Screw falling off. At least she was still breathing.

Treble and I walked up to the barn entrance, the dead raider laying in front with a small bullet wound in his skull. I walked in to observe the barn, laying Loose Screw down in a corner as I walked through the rest of the barn to see if there was any raiders we missed. I walked into what I thought was the kitchen, looking around for any food or supplies. Found a few things labeled STIMPAKS lying on the counter, when I picked them up I noticed my pipbuck sorted them under a file called MEDICAL. I guess we could at least see if they helped Loose Screw. I walked into another room

*BANG*

I jumped and pulled out my shotgun, turning to see a raider cowering in the corner. I put a shot into his skull, popping it like a balloon. Treble came running in.

"Are you......." There was a pause, followed by a horrifying look on her face.

"What?" I asked......but then I felt an extremely sharp pain in my side that made my heart skip a beat.

I looked down to be greeted by tons of blood leaking out of my riot gear...the shot made it through. I looked at Treble

"I...I'll be...okay." I said...then I passed out.
