Fallout Equestria: Freedom of the lost souls.

Intro

The story of what happen 50 year's each of a ten year look.

Kipkipe took in Tiria's daughter and they named her Crystal   to honor her mother's pack name. Her funeral was sad and was painful for everyone even Silver Gunner. Silver Gunner  for the rest of the time turned of his emotions so he never would feel again. It was easy for him..Since he was a enhanced ponytron with emotions.  She was laid to rest in the middle of town near the New Moon. Her tombstone said {A lovely young lady that risked her life to free her own people. To all that loved her..We will miss you Tiria.} The first ten year's it was hard for the town. So many missed her and Crystal   was told everyday about how her mother was such a lovely person from Kip. KipKipie's daughter who she named white-fluff  tried her best to be friends with Crystal   and the young one's helped their parents run the very town. Shadow spent his time ignoring the fact he missed his first ever friend. His heart was crushed when she died. All he did for the first few day's was sob and cry. They had a few time's that raider's and gang's attack they got lucky most of the time and never lost anyone.

Ten more  year's goes on no one  passes away but Crystal   and Kip learn about the six  mare's that did so much for the world that died during the war. With one of them still alive now.  Shadow soon had his own little one named Cree and they always stayed close to Cree. Teaching him about the Twilight and her friend's learning of the world before and how they wished it was the world now. During this time raider's kept attacking for a month. Silver Gunner kept fighting along with some of his buddies. A few died and the creature's that Tiria met in the sewer's of Manehatten took of the reins of helping Silver Gunner with this. One of them a Changeling named Deep thought. The other that helped teach the young ones was Seeker the blind unicorn that helped all she could with the young one's. She told many stories of all she heard and the friends she met. She at first wasn't trusted and then after Tiria's death she became a very trusted Unicorn.

Ten more year's go on the town started to become larger and Kipkipi lost her husband to sickness but her daughter White-fluff gave her a granddaughter by the name of Kipper. Kipper looked so much like her mother. Kipper looked like teal in the body and white mane. Her father was a strange raider that didn't understand the meaning of love but he protected the hell out of White-fluff or he would have gotten the wrath of her God-Father Shadow and her God-mother Owl-beak. Crystal  became the leader of these seven friend's they did everything together. The friends were Crystal ,Kipper,Deep thought, Cree ,Seeker, and Crosscheck. Kipper took great care of protecting her young cousin Crosscheck. They went on many adventure's together and they sometimes came back with wounds and broken bones. Sometimes they came back with more ponies and other creature's that wanted to join the town.

The town started to become bigger and bigger that they grew stuff on their own. Thanks to some of the earth ponies they found along the way. Kip Shadow and Silver Gunner  were the only old living founder's of the city. The Funny thing about Kip she was very healthy. being 70 year's old she might be living forever. Shadow never said his age. But some thought he was 40. George always kept his feeling's turned off but around Crystal  who looked so much like the friend he lost. He always opened up to her and told her stories of her wonderful mother. She wanted so much to become just like the mother she never met. George even said he will give her the Dragon Pistol. But it will be when the time is right. But now was not the time to do so. For the moment the six stayed together and watched the city thrive. Without them. Most of the stuff was handled by Kip and Shadow and A changeling joined to help as well. His name was Dark tide. He really didn't care for his name..But he loved helping the town.

Ten years go by again. it's been 40 year's later the town still thriving. Nothing really strange happen these year's. it was kind of slow on raider's and no one has even seen the Enclave. But Kip was slowly getting older and looking healthy still but the issue is. It was the anniversary of Tiria's death many didn't wish to remember it. it was extremely painful and to Silver Gunner he didn't wish to remember. But they honored her with the reading of her journal. The entire reading it was hard for Kip to read.

Tiria had expressed how much she hated being a hero. But then it went to how much she loved helping everyone. Then about when she watched Kip and Crow die and then watched her mate die. How she was looking so forward to see her daughter and bring her into this world. But it ended with the day she gave birth. So many realized that Kip knew this was going to happen but they doubt they could have saved her. It wasn't easy to save someone from the death of child birth. They explained how Tiria shattered the Dragon pistol twice. Then placed it back in the box. Shadow didn't speak at all his heart was broken learning that he didn't know that she was going to die no matter what.

50 year's later another ten year's past it was pretty peaceful in the lovely town. Kip was still alive so was Shadow. Silver Gunner  was still up and running. Everything went well trades crops growing. It was peaceful so peaceful in fact that Crystal  and her six friend's went off for six to seven month's to see how much the wasteland as changed since their parent's and family has been alive. So while they were gone everything was peaceful nothing going on. Kip doing her normal job at training those that wished to be the town's healer to heal. Shadow still trained for guard duty and Silver Gunner  always in sentry mode now.

The seven months later the seven  return happy to see that the wasteland is so impressive after what the Light-bringer and her friends did for the wasteland. Here we go on the road to New Moon it's a bit of a foggy night as they all head back to the town.

Crystal  with her friends walked down the road to the city it was hard to fly in this. So Cree stayed on the ground and Kipper stayed close to her cousin Cross-Check. The Seeker the unicorn with a Crystal globe as her cutie-mark stayed near them. Deep thought the changeling seemed to be ready to get home. They made a friend along the way and he joined them. He was a scavenger vulf'van that didn't follow the others his name was Bear. They seemed to not speak as they walked. Getting back to town was all they cared about. But they never seen a foggy night like this. But at least they knew the road. As they followed the road Cree smelled the air and blinked.

" Hmm something feels off but it could be anything."

He said in a hushed tone. Arming his machine gun.

" What could it be then? Seeker do you see anything?"

Crystal said softly seems to be arming a pistol.

" I see nothing child. The future doesn't wished to be seen. I may be a seer child. But i am not a walker of the future."

Seeker said calmly turning to look at her friends.

A deep gruff voice spoke

"No need for pointless future's"

Bear seemed to be a bit annoyed after he spoke.

Deep thought the changeling for a moment stayed silent. So did Cross and Kipper. But while they got closer shot's ran out and missed by inches.

" SHIT!!"

Crystal yelled and hid behind a rock with the others

" Bear!! take your sniper take them out!!"

Bear sighed and calmly removed the large sniper from his back. He aimed and fired. Then a loud griffin like screech came from the fog.

" MY Wing damn you!!"

Cree knew that voice and the laugh that slowly followed.

" Mother father!! It's us stop firing please!!"

Bear blinked and put the sniper back on his back and looked at Cree.

" I just shot your father....Ha.....HA HA H!!"

Bear was laughing loudly having a riot that he just did this.

"Oh that is rich...poor Griffin his wing..is mush."

The shot's stop being fired. While the group calmly walked up to see Shadow and his wife Eagle beak looking to them. While she wraps the blood mess of a wing up in bandages.

" Thank you for hurting my husband who ever did..This please let me grab your balls and pull."

She said with a great angered look

" Also hello son.."

Cree calmly nuzzled his parents

"Shadow what is going on...wait...how come it's so quiet?"

Crystal said worried looking around her ear's pinning back. She looked around going into the town herself. Seeing kip and rushing to her. Sliding quickly and smiles.

" KIP!! what..is going on?! I don't hear most things like I normally do."

Cree stayed behind with his parent's while Bear just leaned on the town wall. Working on his sniper. Not really caring what is going on here. Kipper gave her grandmother a tight hug and Cross check did the same. Looking around seeing that his family is missing.

" Hello dear's sorry we can't meet again on the best of way's"

The old mare said gently with a gentle smile. Her green mane now pure white. Looking towards the town.

"They all vanished half the town...My daughter...is here..But the rest...no."

Crystal was worried looking towards the Vulf'van den her eye's glowing gently.

" Everyone check home's and...Deep Thought..."

Looks to him as he is holding onto a ripped up book.

" Go...check the Library. Oh wait what happen to Silver?"

Kip frowned and look towards the ponytron near the case that held the crystal. As well as all of Tiira's old armor and weapons. It seems his back was smoking. Silver Gunner the strange ponytron with a heart and emotions. Crystal looking over to Cree and smiled weakly.

" Please repair him..."

She sighed seeming overwhelmed. It seemed Crystal got overwhelmed easy. Looking over to bear who was just cleaning his sniper. Watching the others around her leave. They all went to the area's they could. While Crystal looked in the den of the Vulf'van finding some dead and some alive. Looking towards the door that lead to her mothers home. It was locked tight and on the door in blood. The pact. looking closer. She sniffed it hearing Cree.

.

" He's working again!!"

Crystal  came running up

" Silver Gunner what did you see what went on here?'

Silver Gunner  looked up and started to speak.

"Hidden creature's in the fog. Hell-hound's, Changeling's, Zebra's, Griffin's, Pegasus, Earth-ponies, Unicorn's, and Vulfvan. Some how they were able to bypass everything and took me out. But this ain't the first place they hit. They hit smaller town's. They wouldn't dare even touch Appeloosa and new Canterlot. But smaller town's have been attacked we don't know what they want..But they took families and foals. But I didn't see anything else they did."

The six of us looked at each other. But we wished to stay a few day's to make sure everything was alright here. Crystal  was about to leave with the others Silver Gunner  stopped Crystal  . He took a key and opened the case. He smiled at Crystal

" it's time that I gave you what was your mother's. Your time is now. So please use all this in honor of her."

Crystal eye's went wide looking at what her mother left behind. Shaking her head.

" No I don't deserve what a hero wear's. I am no hero I am just a simple vulf'van looking to make a life here."

Silver Gunner gave Crystal an odd look tilting his robotic head.

" Listen good child..Your mother would want you to have it. Now take it all and no butts child or like old times. I will take my robotic hand and spank your ass."

The others of course heard this when they trotted up and of course. Deep though face hoofed finding it silly that was just said. Kipper smirked and giggled

" Aww Crystal in trouble again? How about after you got us all drunk and made us dance?"

Crystal growled softly and sighed going to the case. Removing her old armor setting it on the ground. Taking Tiria's large battle armor placing it on her. Then taking the bags sword and Red Dragon pistol. Looking up to the others and stood there not sure what to think. As her eye's softly glowed. Her vulf'van eye's looking around at the others. As Bear whistled

" Id hit it."

The others looked at Bear as he shrugged

" What it's sexy hot armor. Id always love to fuck a good set of armor. Even if there is a female in it. All sexes the same to me."

Crystal just stood there a blush forming on her face. Hard to see it of course fur. Then she face pawed hard and growled.

" Oh Goddess shoot me now please!!"

Kipper laughs and Cross looked at them like their crazy.

" Ooo la la I guess?"

Cree said with a laugh. Deep thought just found this type of talk awful.

" Now now...there are foals here still..I am sure of it."

Deep said

" Are we going children or we all flirting now.. Shall the old Seer join? Oh would want to hit an old mare like me?"

They all looked at each other and their faces turned into that's just fucking Gross.

" Lets go in a few day's make sure everything is ready before we leave."

It took a few day's while the group stayed in their little town. Speaking to who was left and the families they loved. Cree speaking with his Parents.

" I don't wish to lose you two..So i am doing this."

It seems Cree was setting up defenses. As it seems he was the more worried about leaving. He didn't wish to miss his family again at least have them die. Bear just stood there watching. Smirking at Crystal who was looking towards the others. Trying not to make eye contact with Bear. Kipper and Cross were getting their gear all set up.

" Kipper dear I want you to have these."

Kip opened her granddaughter's bags placing in her own pistol and shotgun.

" These saved my life many time's. Now they will save yours"

Cross stayed silent. For a large earth pony. He wasn't much of a speaker. More give him a gun and he will fire.

" Alright it's time to go children."

Seeker said calmly her blind eye looking over to the others and nodded.

Chapter one

The seven were all packed and geared to the teeth. The path seemed to be clear the fog had lifted giving a peaceful lovely morning. It would seem the grass of the wasteland was beautiful and green. Tree's started growing back. It would seem thanks to the Light-bringer and her friends. The land was healing. The path did seem to still have some hazard's of the waste. Like Manticor's zombie ponies and other creature's even some raider's left behind. Some of the path seemed to tell a story of battle war. Some dead bodies did litter the ground from the Enclave civil war that went on above the clouds. But it was wise to stay clear of all that.

We had no idea if it would ever blow and cause a chain reaction. Deep thought and Seeker were the only two without armor and weapons. it seems they didn't wish to fight. But they would if they had to. Crystal  looked at the mountain that used to have the old Canterlot on it. It was impressive that the ruins of that were still under the mountain. But they never wished to go check. But the path seemed to have dead raider's and some Apple jack ranger's walking past giving a kind hello and greetings. They seemed to be peaceful. But we stopped one of them.

"Excuse me Ranger."

Crystal said calmly. The ranger stopped a moment and turned to look at the seven of us.

" Yes how can I help you?"

Crystal  went up to the ranger and smiled softly being kind and respectful.

" I got a question have you heard of The pact?"

The Ranger looked to us and then to Crystal and nodded slowly.

"We're  on the search for them. they raided a camp not far from Manehatten. But I lost track. My battalion, is  heading to Moon's Shadow to stock up and then head over to Appeloosa. We will be in Moon's Shadow for about two months. To rest and relax"

Crystal frowned nodding

" We just came from Moon's Shadow it got hit as well people, missing but not ammo or anything. So hook up with our families i'm sure you will get what you need. But again what have you heard of them"

The Ranger gave a calm shrug

" I have heard many things. That they do what they do for the enclave, even for the Light-bringer herself. Some rumors is they are from Hoofintin. Some other rumor's that they are stable-dweller's frozen in time that just got out. Some say they just do this because they wish for revenge on all those that refused to help them in the past. So it's hard to say."

Crystal  nodded and smiled. As she walked back and the Steel Ranger trotted off to head to Moon's Shadow. The seven calmly walked along the path no speaking fora while as it seemed to be one of those day's, when most didn't want to talk. But Crystal was checking out the Red Dragon Pistol. She noticed how the trigger was repaired again. Crystal looked up and saw bird's flying around and found it odd that some creature's were returning now. The group just kept walking.

" Such a lovely land after what happen fifty year's ago. I love it so much."

Seeker said calmly

it also seems they had their guns cocked and ready to go. But nothing right now would seem the area is calm and gentle. They looked up seeing some bird's flying in the air. The sun seemed calm and gentle. Most of what used to harm traveler's had been removed and pushed back. So there are some nest here and there. But it was getting rare to see them. But it still wasn't the Equestria like it was 250 year's ago. The path still seemed to be heavily traveled. They were enjoying the path to Manehatten. it was starting to get dark as well it seems. The path was getting a bit hard to see they wished to see what was going..But it was going to take two day's to get there.

They put up camp and used Kip's old light torches that still worked. Kipper placed the powder in them with her horn and smiled. She was so much like her grandmother kind gentle and motherly. She didn't wish anyone to come to harm. They fully stocked on food for a month's journey because they were hopping it would take that long to get this journey done. To see what this pact wanted.  Crystal  stayed by herself looking at the gun and feeling closer to her mother. She seemed so relaxed and calm now. Knowing that her mother is proudly watching her do this journey. She had a large smile on muzzle. Cree along with bear were the first two to stand watch. As they just walked around the camp. Bear had a sniper riffle. Cree had his father's old gun's.

" What a lovely night."

Kipper said with a soft purr.

Crystal  nodded seeming to start eating staying silent. Seeker seemed to just drink tea. She was always not eating to much. Deep thought just seemed to think and eat when he did. it was an odd bunch of folks working together. Crystal  leaned on her friend Kipper and smiled.

" Yes it is Kipper yes it is."

Crystal  said with a soft smile.

Crystal  calmly drank the cup of tea seeming to relax as she watched the others. it was soon going to be her time to stand watch. As she looked to Kipper her best friend and one that she would do anything for. Soon Crystal  is going to be the oldest of the group and she wished to stay single so she doesn't suffer her mothers fate.

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

It was the morning and Cree was shooting at some Zombie ponies coming at the group and it seemed calm after he was done. They were one more day from Manehatten. They were going to travel all of Manehatten but not go into Tenpony tower. They doubted anyone would know what is going on there. Besides the place was so well guarded it was hard to tell if they wished to  go there. For the moment the path seemed very clear. Most of the raider's stayed clear these day's same with bandit's. it was extremely calm and relaxing to them all. Crystal  looked through her bags finding Tiria's pip buck and took a good look at it.

it seemed old and dusty and not even used after her mother's death. She placed it on her arm and turned it on. It showed everything. Even the map she blinked with a soft smile. Something her mother used she wished she could have met her. Closing her eye's to see if she could see her when she was born. But she could have been dead before. Looking through more of the pip-buck seeing that it would tell you if something that wanted to harm you. Then looked through the rest seeing what was in her bags and blinked. Finding old ammo she thought to herself. {Did anyone even clean these bags out when her mother died?}

The path was getting more rocky as Crystal stayed near Kipper since she held the tents and the sleeping bag's. Showing her the Pip-buck and smiled.

" Oooo very nice there."

She said with a soft laugh.

Crystal smiled and felt very happy being near her best friend it made her feel at ease. The walk was getting on her nerves she wanted to see what this pact wanted with her family home. Were she was born why her mother died when she gave birth to her. it kept making her feel that she ruined her mothers life just by being born. But if she wasn't born she wouldn't be having this adventure with those she care's so much about. She leaned on her friend as they walked and watched the others. Seeker seemed to know were she was going without anything. The path was calm gentle and soothing right now. if only there was more bird sounds. For the second time in their lives.

They had a peaceful journey without any pain. She looked to Kipper who walked on her hooves with no issue's. She cared deeply for her friend. Hoping she wouldn't lose her in this adventure. She thought of what her mother had to go through. It was hard to understand death even when she saw it so much. The idea of it just made her stomach churn. But it also could mean she was starving.

The sun went down and it was getting cloudy to look like it was going to slowly start to rain. they set up camp again getting the food ready and this time it was Deep thought and seeker on guard. The night had bugs  make weird sounds to show the night is here. The night very calming. As Crystal was already sleeping. The others watched her and softly spoke.

" I feel this journey is going to keep her mind off her Mother."

Kipper said softly with a gentle smile.

" I highly doubt that."

Bear seemed to said with a snarl.

The others started to eat waiting for Crystal to slowly wake up to get ready to eat herself. But the thing is she was awake listing to a recording from her mother. It seemed Tiria recorded it the day before she gave birth. She put a little thing in her ear. To listen. As it slowly started to go.

" Hello Kiddo. I am doing this with the request of Kip. I am sure I am going to see you but..if i don't I want you to know..I love you little one. You make my life happy. Just like your father did. I want you to know. I am no hero. I am not even meant to be one. I am just a simple creature that found her way into the wasteland and helping so many without knowing. The real hero's of the wasteland are the Light-bringer and her friends. The one in Hoofintin and all the others that did something. I did nothing but stood there and fought raider's and slaver's. What did I do to help build a town? That would have happen without me kiddo. But yes I wish to say this to you child. If we don't see each other in this life..We will in the next. For i love you little one. Is that okay Kip?"

Kip spoke in the recording.

"It's fine dear this is just to make sure. Just in case you don't wake up tomorrow after the birthing."

" Are you going to tell the others."

Kip gave a sad sigh.

" If I did dear everyone would try to find way's to keep you alive. Even Silver Gunner  would. Shadow even more so. You can't be kept alive if it's your time to go. So dear if you do not wake tomorrow i will be sad and help raise the little one."

The sound of Tiria sobbing softly.

" It's not fair...Kip..The little one is not even going to have her parents. I never had them either how is that fair?!"

She was punching the wall with her cybernetic hand it was easy to hear what she was using. Kip slowly stopped her and pulled her into a hug.

" Shhh shhh its okay dear I am  here to help you through this. So please relax."

The recording ended.

Crystal  looked up to the others she wanted to tell them what she just heard. She sat down near the campfire and looked up to them. Turning the recording on again so they could hear it now. After the recording ending the shocked look of Kipper was a bit surprising. Cross-Check's was a bit surprising. Cree frowned and sighed. Seeker looked like she knew it was going to happen. Bear never knew Tiria but he did feel back for his new friend. Deep thought sat beside Amara.

" Crystal before we go to sleep can we go to the tent. I feel we need to have a little chat."

Crystal nodded and went into the tent with him and sighed.

" Deep-thought I know your going to tell me to let this go and not dwell on it. I know you're the councilor of this group. But sometimes you can get a bit bothersome."

Deep Thought had a smile on his changeling face and laughed. Shaking his head.

" I was there Crystal  her funeral just to bring you into the world was amazing. She risked her entire life just to leave to find that silly crystal. She met your father who made her very happy. He would be proud of you as well that you have become a strong women. You need to remember your a strong vulf'ven that would have made her proud."

Crystal  looked at him calmly. Then softly smiled and seemed to enjoy the fact that she would have made her mother and father proud of her. It was something she was hoping she would do for ages. Giving Deep thought a tight hug he made her feel ten time's better and patted the back of his head.

" Thank you Deep Thought you're an extremely helpful changeling."

He chuckled and gave a kind bow and then left the tent. Crystal  calmly fell asleep. Deep thought walked out of the tent and looked towards Seeker. Who stared right at him.

" What do you need Seer?"

Deep thought asked with a calm gentle question.

The blind eye stared at Deep thought and she smiled.

" All that is needed is the path of the future to see the end of the night. For it's time to Seek it's true path."

Deep thought sighed and went to go to sleep himself.

Manehatten

it was the next day. Amara had heard what her mother was like. They got to part of the city of Manehatten and saw the Luna Celestia line's. But they wanted to check the outskirts of the city first before going anywhere else. They kept their guns fully cocked and walked along the ruins. It seems some of it has been cleared. They were hoping to find anything of the pact. But they didn't find anyone at the moment. They noticed that some of the path's had been cleared. it was somewhat peaceful and odd.

They walked along the outside of the city near the water. It would take two day's to see the entire outskirts of the city. But it seemed most of the city seemed empty of issues. The path they took was leading to the puppet factor. But right the place that Crossfire and his scavenger's used to live in was found. it seemed in use but no one was shooting at them and just waved with a smile. Crystal waved back and a Pegasus opened the door and come out to greet them.

" Welcome to Scavenger's nest. How can we help you?"

Crystal  looked up to him and smiled.

" We are searching for The Pact."

The Pegasus frowned and sighed.

" They seem to leave places like us alone. But they go after small towns and anything they can get their hands on. if your on your own they will find you. But other then that i have no idea who they are or what they want. Just they say freedom freedom. But can we get you anything?"

Crystal  shook her head and smiled.

" No but we will be checking around here for any of them."

The Pegasus nodded and trotted  back into the large building. As the group followed the path of the outskirts of the city. it was still silent and peaceful. Calmly walking along it seemed that the sewer's was the best idea to go into but not at this moment. Check around the entire city first and then do it. One of the second area's that the old group slept at. Is still standing and old beds are still there. No one has taken up sleeping there. So the group went there to calmly rest and it seems the city is very calm no raider's here. The group calmly relaxed and took some time to rest in this little building.

This little building seemed to have not been used for year's It seems to calmly have been just here for people to rest in. The beds that seemed to still be useful and pretty gross at the moment.  Still they wished to go to sleep and not care what they slept on. But they sat in the middle of the building that used to be an apartment and made a fire. They pulled out their food and tea leaf's and water to start eating. Seeker and Bear went off to patrol. Since again Seeker only wanted to eat by themselves.

It was morning and what was interesting they came across the puppet-factory. It seemed to be burned from the inside out but it still was standing. Crystal  looked at her friends

" i will go in with Kipper you five  stay out here."

Before we fully went inside Deep-thought stopped us both and we looked at him. He seemed to be worried about something and looked back into the empty burnt out building.

" Listen you two careful in there. I heard stories about this place from Shadow. It was a nightmare to it. In fact he still dreams of it so. if you need me to help you both when you get out of there left me know."

He said with a smile.

Crystal  nodded and Kipper laughed.

" I will be fine Deep thought Crystal  is with me."

Deep thought rolled his eyes and chuckled

" Enjoy then you two."

With that they went into the darkness of the building. it would seem there was nothing alive at all in the building as they walked in.

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Inside burnout Puppet-factory.

Crystal  and Kipper walked into the building. For a building that had a few bombs go off in it 50 year's ago it sure seemed well kept even for a burnt out building. It gave Crystal  and Kipper to talk. Kipper felt like she saw a Pink-puppet looking at them and she blinked her eyes and suddenly vanished.

" Crystal did you see..that?"

Crystal  blinks and looks to Kipper.

" I think your seeing things again Kipper."

Kipper gave a calm nod. The two kept walking slowly into the puppet-factory. Seeing a bunch of old burnt puppet's. Maybe there was something alive in here. Because it seemed something was trying to clean it up. There wasn't many scorch marks. Crystal  pointed Kipper to the right and Crystal  went to the left. Crystal  calmly went through the hall's. Looking around if any of The pact made any claim to this area. She slowly walked into the factory part of the puppet's-Factory the computer heading down stair's seeing the spots that Silver Gunner  lost part's of his metal armor. Seeing all the battle's that happen in here.

Walking downstairs seeing the poster of Pink pie having that endless smile and scarey thing is that poster didn't get burnt. Then getting down to the area her mother was dangled by strings. The computer was still there but seemed to be shattered and cracked on the screen. Then she heard Kipper shooting her gun and Crystal  rushed off to find her.

Crystal  found her and she was firing on Zombie ponies that seemed to have been here for awhile and it seemed odd that they never showed up during the time the first group came here. Crystal  used the dragon pistol to fire and it burned the zombies as she kept firing. Amara looked inside the area they came from and looked back at Kipper.

" It's fine now dear friend. But I don't see how long they have been here. "

" I am going to head back outside Crystal I am not enjoying this."

Crystal  gave her a looked and blinked.

" Were is your sense of adventure?"

Kipper gave Crystal a look.

" Back in that pit of Radscorpian's  you lead us to."

She said with a soft smile and winked at Amara as she trotted outside.

Crystal rolled her eyes and kept checking around the puppet-factory. it seems no one even wished to come in here. Leaned on a support beam and then suddenly the building started to crack and move and blinked. As she started to run as the building started to fall apart and crash. She rushed out as fast as she could hoping she could get out before the building dropped on her. Her eyes glowing brightly as she rushed out and then the others looked at her as the building suddenly fell.

" Ahem...well.."

Kipper rolled her eyes and shook her head.

" You will never learn Crystal."

Deep thought gave  Crystal  a look and sighed.

" Next time how about we all go in and stop you from doing that again hmm?"

Crystal blinks and laughs.

" Oh come on you guys when have I ever lead you wrong."

They looked at each other and Kipper smirked.

" How about when you lead us to that Radscorpian pit. Or that building full of ponytron's or that"

" Fine find i lead you to some pretty nasty places. I'm very very sorry."

Cree laughs and smiles.

" I have other stories about what you lead us to. But those can wait."

Cree said with a smirk.

Manehatten near friendship city.

Crystal  along with her friends slowly walked along the bridge's to get to Friendship city and Kipper went to the speaker to speak to them.

" Excuse me we need some information no need to lower the bridge."

A male voice spoke over the intercom.

"Alright what do you need?"

Kipper cleared her throat

" We are searching for information on The pact. if you got any information that would be nice."

The voice calmly spoke.

" Sorry we know nothing about them. We have heard of them of course but never seen them or had trouble with them. As the new Arbu or Gutterville. They might be able to tell you but us no."

"Alright thank you good sir."

The group left the area of friendship city starting to get closer to Manehatten again. heading for Arbu first. When they got there the place was pretty silent. Taking a short looked around they never found anything. No sign of struggle no fire fight's. Just some random dead and then completely silent.  Looking around it seems nothing was found no info of what happen again. Just seeming to be completely out of nowhere of people vanishing never to be seen again.

Crystal  looked to the others and sighed. Lifting her pip buck pointing to Guttervile the others nod and they started walking towards the area. But it was going to take a day to get there. So they went to find another spot to rest it was a small little bank and they put down their sleeping bag's and started to rest and get ready to sleep for the next part of the journey.

Crystal  couldn't sleep but she looked up as it seemed Seeker was watching her. Seeker acted like she was a zebra never sleeping but always watching. The one blind eye shining as the moonlight came down from the holes in the roof.

" You do know Seeker sooner or later your going to scare someone into killing you."

Seeker just kept staring and gave a gentle smile and seemed to enjoy being this creepy.

" But how can I not see the soul of the future and the path you seek without looking towards you young child?"

Crystal  looked up again and blinked Seeker was always very strange. Even when she was growing up she was right..When she said that she would break her arm. She was also right when she said that eating that food would make her sick.

" Seeker tell me what is it with you. How do you know when things are going to happen?"

The white unicorn just gave her a look and shrugged

" How can you tell the bugs to dance at night. How can you never tell them to end the music. How can you see the hoof steeps that you never see. It's how you see the world around you. Some of you look at it wrong. As for me I see it all with these eye's. For the souls and the magic and the music I can see. "

Seeker stood up and gave a bow as she put on her hood and trotted out of the room. Seeming to leave the building to stand watch with Duffy."

Crystal  looked like she was scared out of her wits but she shook her head and sighed.

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Manehatten and Guttervile

The group calmly woke up and looked around Seeker seemed to be missing. Oddly this is very normal Seeker always seemed to be missing. Crystal  went to go look for her while the others headed towards Guttervile. Crystal  walked through some of the ruins of Manehatten. Finding Seeker the white Unicorn siting near a Sewer grate and seeming to have her eye's closed. She would calmly say.

" Oh..orb of seeking...listen to my plea..Follow the path of the The pact..and come back to me."

A strange magic orb formed as she did this and it went through a strange path. It rolled along to the grate and seemed to ignore it for a moment. But it seems the steps of The Pact went through here and headed back out of the city. It seems they head everywhere and then they head nowhere. These creature's knew how to hide their trails. It was a bit strange to all of us. Then Seeker slowly got back on her hooves and turned to face Amara.

" Seeking is done now..shall we follow the others?"

She said with a gentle smile trotting off.

Crystal  always found her friend a bit odd. Also learned that she was there when her mother died. She never fully trusted Seeker but she was a friend to her mother. So she wanted to keep her close because this is what her mother would have done. Of course she is not her mother no matter how much she wanted to be. Rushing off to catch up with her friend's. Guttervile seemed oddly calm and no one was missing here yet anyway.

Kipper was calmly chatting with one of them and looked over to Crystal.

" They haven't heard much of anything about them. Just that they take those who they consider the easier one's to take.  Then kill those that hear them or that they just don't like. But this one here is saying they hear sewer grate's open up and close sometimes."

Crystal  nodded and looked to Kipper.

" Can we talk privately Kipper please?"

Kipper gave a nod with a smile.

" Deep thought please go find a open grate and take Bear with you. Cree you and Seeker find someone that is selling food here."

Crystal walked over to a private spot in the ruin's it seems most of the city is being cleaned up. But for Manehatten it's taking much longer to clean it up. Crystal  gave Kipper a said smile.

" I heard a recording from my mother on this Pip-Buck. She sounds like a gal. I would have loved to meet. But the fact her time was about to end because of my birth. Here I am 49 year's old and I'm still crying about my mother. She was younger then I am. Our specie's can live along time. But birthing has never been a feature of death for us. I'm starting to wonder if someone poisoned her while she gave birth to me."

She sighed and looked over to what Kipper thought. She smiled softly and used a hoof to rub under her own chin.

" Well Crystal my grandmother did name you to honor her best friend. But she even wanted me to become your friend. So you wouldn't be alone. But look at you. Your mother's old armor your mother's old sword and her old gun. You have become your mother more then you know. Now my grandmother never told me much about your father."

Crystal sighed and looked at her friend and smiled weakly.

" Do you think i am being to much of a child Kipper? We have known each other for year's. Done so much together even gotten drunk together. It's something i am not sure of."

Kipper just calmly shrugged and nodded.

" Come Crystal  we better get going."

Crystal  nodded sighing.

"Excuse me"

Deep thought said from behind.

" Some of Guttervile seemed to need some counseling. So I am going to stay behind and help them. If that's okay with you?"

Crystal nodded and smiled to Deep Thought. As Deep thought trotted into Guttervile and was the only one left behind. He turned around first.

" OH yes I found a grate it's north of here careful please. If I don't hear  from you in the next few hours. I will come and find you."

Crystal  looked to Deep thought and smiled.

" Deep-thought please be-careful will you? I don't want to lose you to a bunch of people that have worse issues then everyone else you will meet."

Deep-Thought turned around and laughed softly.

" What miss me already? When you keep telling me to shut up and never speak of your mental issues dear Crystal."

She laughed and smiled.

" I don't know about you the others here would miss you. I can for damn well tell you. I will miss you as well."

Deep-thought had a large smile on his face. As the others agreed

" I would miss you so much dear Deep-thought"

Kipper said with a smirk and purred softly.

The rest of us laughed as we watched him go and then headed out to the north to get to the grate. Kipper and Seeker using their magic to lift it and set it aside.

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Manehatten Sewer: First Junction four door's One going east one going south one going north and the other going west.

The grate above open's up as the six slowly ease down into the sewer. It stank to hell and back and it smelled like someone just recently took a large dump inside. But it could have been more that something died down here and made it stink badly very badly. One by one slowly getting on the grate and looking down seeing the water.

" Yes....this is lovely for a vulf'van the nose the smell."

Crystal  cover's her nose growling.

Cree stayed on guard long with Bear looking around. Cross-check seemed to stick to his cousin Kipper. Cross and Kipper seeming to be the youngest of the group. Crystal  slowly looked around trying to see if she can find anything in the first room here. Crystal looked to the others and to the four doors. Then went to check if all door's are unlocked and not trapped. It seems all doors are unlocked and no traps at all. Looks over to the others and points to seeker.

"We will separate and go into each door. I will go here in the west door with Seeker. I want you guys to pick who to go with."

Crystal and Seeker walk into the west room. As Cross-Check walked into the east room with Kipper. Then Bear and Duffy go into the next two alone. Cree  goes into the south and Bear goes into the north.

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

North Room: Bear Scavenger Sharp shooter.

Bear slowly sneaked through the north room. Cocking his large sniper rifle. As he gently walked through the grate to see what's in here. He placed a silence on the muzzle of the sniper. Slowly walking through the area. Looking down the way seeing some stair's that lead down and some door's leading to weird spots of the area. Slowly entering one of the door's and it seems to be a closet for tools. Seeing a med-box with purple butterfly's on it. Slowly try's to unlock it with a bobby pin and a screw driver. It slowly opening and finding old potions and magic bandages. Slowly placing the potion in the bags along with the bandages.  He then slowly checked the rest of the room seeing some tools. Taking them anyway since he likes to sell alot of the junk he finds anyway. Slowly left the room and opens another door looking in seeing nothing really but a few beds and bones all over it seems someone lived down here. Slowly went into the room looking around seeing a few ammo boxes that are open and sighed.

He looked around the room seeing nothing else for the moment. Slowly walked back out of the room and started going down the stair's as he slowly looked around looking to see if he can find the pact. But what he find's seems to be a place full of Ghouls They seem friendly he thought and slowly walked to them.

" Excuse me."

The Ghouls turned to look at him they looked like they used to work on the sewer's in the past and one walks to Bear wearing a hard hat and looks at him. The ghoul seems to be a unicorn.

" Yes?"

The ghoul said calmly.

" I'm searching for info on The Pact."

The Ghouls looked at each other. Then the unicorn one frowned nodding.

" If your searching for them..their in the south room's careful their very strange and they leave us alone unless we get in their way."

Bear blinked

" Oh shit Cree!!. Nice talking to to you!"

He rushed off going after to stop Cree from doing something stupid.

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

West Room: Crystal : Pistol marksmen and sword user. Seeker: Blind eye seer. Also old Sewer city.

Seeker seemed to just trot calmly alone the grate's above the water. No care in the world as her magic held onto a floating pistol. Looking calmly with her one good eye. This unicorn has been alive for along time. No one really knows much about her not even KipKipi. But she did know why Crystal's mother died. Crystal  calmly speaking looked to Seeker getting in-front of Seeker to speak to her. Seeker stopped on her hooves looking up to Crystal.

"Hmm So Crystal  has question's for the Seeker of the past and future?"

Crystal  seemed to speak calmly.

" You know what killed my mother what was it?"

Seeker lifted her hoof and placed it on Crystal's  chest.

" Why child you did when she gave birth to you. You killed her poor child of the blind night. She poisoned herself finding The new moon to find peace with her species. But she knew if she had a pup she wouldn't live to see the pup grow up. So it's your fault that she died but also it's the travel of the wasteland that did as well."

Crystal  growled in anger didn't wish to hear that and then spoke with great anger but tried to stay in a hush tone.

" Then why didn't you kill me why did you allow me to be born?!"

Seeker looked up surprised and a tear forms in her eye.

" Oh lost child I meant no harm by those words. Some think it was you that killed her. But I know the truth for she told me herself when we met. Lord Sidonak stabbed her with a strange sword in her arm. It made her arm die and wither. But the thing is she knew she was going to die no matter what. The only one of her friend's that knew is Kip. I knew she would die and I'm the one that told her to record a message for you to hear when your 49 year's of age child."

Crystal  growls and sighed looking to Seeker.

"Come lets go."

Seeker nodded and the two checked around the area looking in room's really seeing nothing it seems to be an empty spot of the sewer's but then they open a room. Seeing an old run down small city within here.

" Ah the old city that she found us in. We might find something here."

Seeker trotted into the city it seemed empty. All of them went to Moon's Shadow as Crystal looks through the houses and blinks it seems the ponies here left in a hurry and looks down seeing strange object's like this place was keeping useless item's. But as Crystal was looking a strange something was coming up behind her. It held something in it's hand as it seemed hidden. But a strange chatter into the creature's ear makes it move back to go away slowly. It seems Crystal  and Seeker are being watched. But by what is unknown Crystal  going inside one of the building's. Seeker seemed to look sit down and relax as she closes her eyes and seems to have someone sneaking on her.

" Hidden creature in the darkness..Stop hiding and show yourself."

Seeker. turning to look at the creature that his in the shadow's with her blind eye. But the creature just backs off slowly seeming to not know their being watched. The blind eye seems to be staring at the creature.  The creature slowly back's off and seems to back come completely this creature seeming scared of Seeker. Seeker is a strange unicorn Tiria knew more about her then anyone else. The creature that is hidden with the stealth-buck seems to sneak off.

Crystal is inside the strange house that seems very very rundown. Looking around as a strange creature come's up behind her and stop's seems to just watch her for the moment. The creature's seem to back off as this one trip's on a loose board and the Stealth-buck breaks. As Amara turns seeing a giant rat creature. The Rat creature looks up to her and it seems to be a mutated rat creature that Tiria met in here 50 year's ago.

"Vulf'van you and The Pact shall not take our sewer's from us."

The Rat creature hisses.

" Whoa whoa mister rat thing..I ain't part of The pact..I am searching for them."

The rat creature looks at Crystal  with a calm look it's eyes glow as it seems very heavily geared and is holding a large mini-gun staring darkly at Crystal .

" I'm known as Footnote. Because every-time I step I trip. I'm of the Rat-Creeper's of our beloved sewer's. Now give me a reason why my friends and I don't blast you to hell?'

Crystal  lifted up the Red Dragon pistol and Footnote gasped calmly.

" The...pistol of the one...that saved us 50 year's ago...How did you steal it from her?"

Crystal  sighed and looked at the Pistol.

" I'm her daughter."

Footnote growled showing his sharp teeth.

" Why didn't the hero come herself then bring her spawn?"

Crystal  looked up with anger.

" She fucking died giving birth to me! She came back from a strange journey alone with a group of sewer creature's gave birth then died!!"

Footnote put a rat paw on his mouth and sighed.

" Great..Footnote you pissed her off..stupid stupid creature. But again why are you here?"

Crystal  growled and then sighed again.

" I'm here with friends from Moon's Shadow to find the missing souls that The Pact took."

Footnote's eyes go wide. As his whisker's strangely shudder.

"Then sorry to say child we have no idea what The Pact does with them..But they are here....in another part of the sewer's. Hiding because of them yess. There in the south room."

Crystal  ear's perked up

"The South room?! Oh shit Cree. Seeker!!!"

She rushes out with Footnote oddly following

Seeker looked up and tilting her head.

" Oh a Rat Creeper also yes child?"

Crystal  panting softly looking at Footnote. Then Footnote seemed to make a single with his claw's and more of the Rat Creeper's came out of hiding.

" I shall follow these creature's to find The Pact keep our home safe."

Crystal  looked to Seeker.

"Cree is running into a trap Seeker!!"

Seeker nodded and trotted along with Amara and Footnote following heading the way back out to get to Cree before it's to late.

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Eastern room: Kipper: Healer and small arm's fighter Also biggest thing light magic. Cross-Check: Heavy weapon's Mostly Mini-guns and heavy magic energy rifles.

Kipper calmly looked around keeping her horn glowing. Looking towards Cross-Check and then back to the room. It seems to be two door's and basically that's it. Kipper lifted her hoof and points to the right door and left door for Cross. Kipper calmly walks to the right door her gun slowly floating above her head. She is using the same Pistol her grandmother used. It's now colored teal and has her grandmother's Cutie-mark shown. In this room she goes in has a terminal and since Cross is the only one good at that. She waits for him to come as she check's out the room. It seems mostly nothing in here but an empty room full of trash.

Cross went into the other room. Looking around seeming to just find some unlocked cases and empty someone has been here before. He sighed and went to the other room to see what Kipper needed and titled his head and smiled.

" Need me to hack this cuz?"

Kipper gave a gentle smile nodding.

Sat in the chair calmly and start's hacking it seems to be a hard one. So it takes him a few time's to hack it and backs out a few times. Looking to Kipper.

" This is going to take awhile."

He goes back to it and finally gets through it. Reading through everything and he blinks. It seems some of the recording's are 200 year's old to just recently. He clicked the first one.

" Hardhat here..It seems the sewer's are getting clogged again. I hope those Goddess damned Military dumping their waste down here again. Goddess damn it. Well i will check it what I find what's up."

Cross clicked the next one.

" This Wrench Hardhat hasn't called in for the past few days. So I'm here to see whats up. He's been missing so long that we think he got lost down here. So I will call back when I find him."

Cross then being bored clicked the next yawning.

The sound of the voice sobbing crying and retching

" I found him..{Sobs} He is everywhere here...there..Ugh..Whatever got...to him ate him...up and tossed him everywhere oh...Now..the water is flowing again. I need a new job."

He clicks the recent one and then it's odd.

" Number....six....seven...two...eight..word...Block...darkness....seee ending"

He blinks clicking the next.

" Blocks six...eggs..north....seek...north...end."

He then clicks the last.

" Tome night....{Static}"

Kipper looked like she was getting a bad feeling and looking at Cross.

"I don't understand this..but we should find the others and see what they found."

Cross and Kipper calmly walking out of the room and out of the room to get to the junction

As they walked Kipper softly said.

" Is it bad that I care deeply for Crystal and might have feeling's for her."

Cross looked over to Kipper finding this odd.

" Uh that was odd of you to say. But she's almost 50 year's old your 20 you know."

Kipper smirks shrugging.

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

South Room: Cree Griffin: Small machine gun's close melee fighter

Cree folding his wings to his side's since there is no way he could fly in here. He looked around calmly trying to see what there is to find in here. In this room it's the same but there are stair's heading down. He think of heading down the stair's first and seems to find tunnels leading somewhere. Following the way bypassing rubble and cave in's that happen along time ago. Looking at a door and slowly opens it. Everything seems empty and then goes to enter a another room and it's a large sewer room.

Seeing cages but everything has moved. But sees in one of the cages is a Griffin body a Vulf'van body a body of each creature in the cage's. All of the bodies opened up and missing parts of themselves. One even missing a hoof a claw. He heard a sound turning to see a Hell-hound standing over him. The Hell-hound as a hoof sewn to his left leg and has a Griffin's claw holding a knife. Cree back's up gulping seeing the hell hound having miss matched body part's.

The creature calmly get's closer. Staring darkly at Cree and growls deeply.

"Egg's..Blackness of darkness...No neeed...seeking...Souls of the end."

Cree blinks Looking over seeing a Zebra come out of the darkness it has a griffin's claw were it's hoof should be.

" Wood....endless...darkness..wood...blackness souls of the end."

" What the fuck?"

Cree said to himself watching all this.

Looks at the eye's they seem full on drugs and looks back at the Hell Hound.

"Lost.....lost...souls....find...blackness ending.."

Cree cocked his gun's and fired at the Hell hound and started running down back the halls and see's the others after he comes up the stair's as he pants.

" Run lets get out of here!!"

The others nod and run back into the room and are now surrounded by creature's that come out of hiding and from the shadow's. It's all the miss-matched creature's and they scream.

" Speak speak speak!!! Speech!!"

A pony comes out of the group. With Zebra hooves on his front leg's a hell-hound and Griffin claws on his two back left hell hound and right Griffin. He has a Griffin tail and his right side is Griffin his left side is Pony. The right side of his face Zebra. The left Pony. Can see sewing through the entire part's. He Spoke softly with a grin.

" Ah greeting's I never thought we would meet others down here. Are you here to listen to the master's word? Oh the word is just needed to speak for us all. Of course the master speaks to me so I can give his messages. Ah she is speaking as well. So i can get his-her message. So you have question's?"

Footnote seemed to have vanish before this happen leaving the others alone and seems to be like a betrayer.

Crystal  growled softly saying.

" You kidnapped souls from our home. What did you do to them?"

The creature smiled.

" They are now....part of us...or most of them."

" Part of us.....seeking us...see us.."

Kipper vomits seeing that one of her friend's face on another pony.

The creature smiles softly laughing

" We follow the path of Freedom the path to pure heavenly light. Oh Goddess embrace us with your light and your holiness give us your light."

" Light Eggs!! Light seeking dreams."

The other creature's seemed controlled but not this one. The pony lifts his hoof.

" Seek seek butter dream's"

The creature's get closer and with the blunt of their weapon's knocks the group out and Crystal looks up weakly before she is hit again.

" Let them see the light..and if they join us...then they will see the peace. May She-he be filled with hope and light!!"

The creature's start dragging the group to a strange room. Footnote watches calmly and then rushes off to get help. They would also be watched by the Ghouls that stay hidden and when the creature's of The Pact leave heading back to the spot that Cree ran out from. The Ghouls slowly run to the other room that head's down towards the Sewer city and to the Rat-Creeper's.

Chapter One: The Missing

The seven friends go find to find what happen to their town and they find something that is likely to change the world for them. meeting a new friend to help them along the way.
