Chapter 1: A new land
Chapter 1: A new land.
“Thanks for listening, chiiill-dren! This is Three Dog, OWWWWWW! And you're listening to Galaxy News Radio! We're Radio Free Wasteland! And we're here... for you." The radio on the Wanderer’s pipboy blurted out GNR as the small group walked through the city.
The group consisted of The Lone Wanderer who was sporting a minigun he’d picked up from a super mutant master and wearing T45d power armor. Fawkes, who was sporting his trademark gatling laser and last but definitely not least Dog Meat.
The unmistakable sound of a vertibird roared overhead. The vertibird landed in a small parking lot with a few ruined prewar cars in it.
Enclave troops poured out of the vertibird and began firing on the group. “For the President!” one of them shouted.
Fawkes began screaming and firing his gatling laser. Dog Meat began charging the Enclave troops. The Lone Wanderer fired his minigun as he slowly closed the distance between himself and the Enclave. VRRRBOOMBOOMBOOM
“Soo bongo, bongo, bongo I don’t wanta leave the Congo. Oh n-no n no no!”
VRRBOOMBOOMBOOMBOOM. The minigun roared over the music which could barely be heard over the gunfire and energy weapons discharging. “Now you went and got me mad!” Fawkes bellowed over the battlefield.
“They have things like the “Atom bomb”. So I think I’ll stay where I am. Civilization, I’ll stay right here!”
One of the Enclave troops threw a pulse grenade towards the Wanderer “Crap!” he thought as the grenade went off, shutting down his power armor.
A bright light emanated from where the grenade had been and the Wanderer could feel his skin burn and his insides boil. It was as if his whole body had been hit with a mixer of a plasma rifle and a flamer. He let out a scream as the light engulfed him.
Twilight brought the brush gently down on the bever and carefully scrubbed it down until it was clean. “Thanks for helping me clean the animals Twilight.” Fluttershy said greatfully.
Twilight was about to deliver a response when a flash of light came from the next to the animal pins followed by a large POP and an unnatural scream. “What was that!?” Twilight called surprised.
The two went to find the source of the light. After Twilight got Fluttershy out of the tree she’d hidden in.
They saw a creature covered in metal and carrying a box with several spinning tubes sticking out of it. The creature leaned to one side and fell over dropping the box.
The two carefully made their way to the creature’s side “What is it?” Fluttershy asked. All Twilight could do is shake her head. Fluttershy poked it with a hoof, it gave no response.
They looked over the creature “Oh oh my.” Fluttershy started. Twilight went to her friend. “It’s bleeding.” she finished. Right under the creature’s arm was a pool of blood.
Fluttershy rushed off to get a first aid box while Twilight tried to get the metal off of the creature.
“Okay this screw goes to that, but then what’s that for?” Twilight said perplexed by the metal clothing. No, clothing wasn’t the right word, it was more like armor of some kind.
Eventually through enough tinkering and ‘trial and error’ logic she managed to get the creature out of the armor. Just as Fluttershy had returned with the first aid box. “It looks like a hairless monkey.” she internally noted as she took in its features.
Its skin was tanned though parts of it seemed paler than others, it's mane was black and came to behind it’s ears, and it had a rough beard.
Wrapping the bandages was difficult to say the least. Every time Twilight tried to use magic on the creature it only seemed to harm it more.
She had tried a simple telekinesis spell on the bandages but as soon as it touched the creature’s skin it writhed in pain and its flesh looked burned.
Once they got it bandaged they discussed what to do with it, “It needs to be taken to a hospital.” Fluttershy said, caring for this creature as she would any.
Twilight shook her head, “We can’t, if we try to move it with magic that’ll only hurt it more and I don’t think either of us can lift it.”
“Well we’re not leaving it!” Fluttershy cried stomping a hoof down.
Twilight shook her head “No, of course not,” this seemed to please Fluttershy “But you’re right it needs to be taken to a hospital. I’ll see if I can’t get some of the nurses to bring a stretcher.”
With that she rushed off, leaving Fluttershy to take care of the creature. “Please hurry Twilight. I’m not sure how long it’ll last.” Fluttershy called as Twilight ran.
Twilight burst into the PonyVille hospital “We need help now it’s an emergency!” the hospital staff were quick to respond.
“Who’s hurt?” Nurse Redheart asked as she followed Twilight with several other nurses behind them.
Twilight didn’t answer out right “I’m not entirely sure but he’s hurt really bad!” At this point she was fairly convinced it was a he.
When they arrived Fluttershy had already changed the bandages on him twice and the new ones were already soaked in blood “How is he?” Twilight asked. Fluttershy just shook her head “That bad huh.”
Most of the nurses paused a second to look at the creature but Redheart got them to focus on the job “It’s just another patient like everypony else. We do our job first THEN we can gossip about what it is.”
They put the creature on the stretcher and took it to the hospital. Twilight and Fluttershy following near by.
Along the way Twilight took a detour to her library “Spiiike!” she called. The little dragon appeared from the kitchen. “Spike I need you to send a letter to Celestia.” She told him about all that had transpired.
Celestia was sitting in the castle garden trying a new brand of tea that had arrived at Canterlot when a letter had appeared in front of her. “Oh what’s this, a letter from Twilight.” she picked up the letter as she sipped from her tea.
“Dear Princess Celestia. I was helping Fluttershy clean her animals when a strange flash of light appeared and so did a creature. It’s wounded and for some reason magic hurts it. I’m currently having it taken to the PonyVille hospital. I’m not sure how long it will survive but I think you’ll want to see it. Your faithful student Twilight Sparkle.”
When Twilight reached the hospital they already had the creature in the operating room. Fluttershy was sitting just outside the room, Twilight went up to her “How is he?”
Fluttershy just shrugged “Last thing they told me was that he’d gone into a coma and wasn’t responding to anything they tried.” Twilight sat down next to her friend and together they waited.
Three hours had passed before Redheart had come out of the operating room. “Well how is he, what is he, is it a he?” Both of the girls shot off a million questions to the nurse almost simultaneously.
She tried to answer their questions but they simply didn’t know. In fact they probably knew less than those two.
Celestia arrived at the PonyVille hospital and quickly found Twilight and her friend Fluttershy “Hello girls.” She called to the two.
The two seemed to perk up after hearing Celestia’s voice “Princess.” The two bowed as Celestia approached. They informed her on what they knew of the creature and they got nurse Redheart to describe the wounds for her.
“Can we see this creature?” Celestia asked. Redheart seemed uneasy but let them enter the room, after they had gone through a decontamination process.
The room was white and had only a table in the middle and some sinks on the left wall in it. Beside the table were several machines that hooked up to the creature through either tubes or wires, each was monitoring the creature’s body in some form or another.
The small group moved closer to examine the creature as it laid motionless on the table. Each of the ponies were fascinated by different parts of the creature, Twilight was examining its hands, Fluttershy the feet, and Celestia was starring at its face. Redheart drew the group’s attention “We’ve also removed the creatures belongings and put them in a safe place.”
Celestia asked if Redheart could show them the creature’s belonging and they were taken to a small room down the hallway.
The room was laid out bare except for the the creatures belongings. Each piece was laid neatly out on several tables. Each piece was strange to them but some of the things they recognized, a water bottle, some kinds of food packages, and a rather large knife. They didn’t know what to make of the of other thing the creature had, it had a tube at the end of it and what looked like a triggering mechanism but nopony knew what purpose it served.
“How long until we can safely move him?” Celestia asked in a caring tone.
Redheart thought a minute “If he stays like this we can move him in a day or so. If he gets worse then” she shrugged “I’m not sure, it would depend on how much worse he gets.”
Celestia nodded with a small smile “As soon as he’s ready I want him to be moved to Canterlot, we can get him better treatment there.”
Hours later:
The Wanderer woke up gasping for air, carefully he looked around the room. It didn’t look like any Enclave base he’d ever seen, too clean, too new, and lacked all the Enclave touches. None of the walls were metal and covered in the Enclaves propaganda and there were no armed guards anywhere in sight. The room was white, white walls, white tile floor, and a white ceiling. The only part of the room that wasn’t white was a red door that lead out of the room.
He tried to bring up his pipboy….it wasn’t there, he began to panic. He’d always had the pipboy, ever since he was ten. How the hell was he supposed to get out of this place if he didn’t have his pipboy. He took in a deep breath “Just calm down, it’ll be fine. I can make do without it.” He said quietly, reassuring himself.
He got out of the bed he was in and quietly made his way to the door. “Nothing, good.” he thought as he looked through the small window on the door.
A small white creature with pink hair and a pink tail started to walk towards the room, it was holding a board and seemed to be reading. “Shit!” he quickly got down and looked around for something to defend himself with.
He franticly looked around for something….anything to defend himself with. A table, no it’s bolted down…..A monitor, no too bulky and it’d be in the room by the time he got it….. “This’ll work.” he thought as he grabbed a bedpan, thankfully it was empty.
The creature came into the room not noticing the Wanderer…….THUNK …….He smashed the bedpan down on the creature’s head, it fell to the ground unconscious. Without wasting a second he began to search it’s body.
Pens, a lab coat, bobby pins ‘three in total’, a stethoscope, and lastly a clipboard. He took the clipboard and skeemed it over, he also took the bobby pins. “Patient unknown, species unknown, current condition comatose.” He dropped the clipboard and made his way out of the room. Locking it behind him.
Carefully and quietly he made his way through the hallway, avoiding as many of the creatures as he could. A light hit him in the eye, he covered it with his hand and looked for its source “Hello.” He smiled happily as he entered the small room.
He slapped the pipboy close around his forearm and pressed the ‘on’ button with a wide triumphant smile. He picked up the single 10mm pistol that was with the pipboy along with the rest of the gear. He sighed “Just like back in 101.” Using the pipboy’s heads up display he managed to get around most of the creatures without them detecting him.
He found his way out of the building “Oh shit….” looking at his compass he saw over fifteen different life signs. Neutral at the moment but slowly advancing towards him.
“THERE IT IS!!” five of the creatures came barreling around a corner and came charging after him.
The Wanderer quickly looked around for a way out but found only one. “Fuck it!” he thought. Popping into V.A.T.S. he shot three of the creatures, each in the leg then ran out the door before the last two could reach him.
He got out of the building only one of the creatures still chasing him but now there were slightly over fifteen more to deal with, most of them seemed to be in armor of some kind and were carrying spears, all but one. That one stuck out to him instantly, it was a dark blue with hair that mirrored a night sky and seemed to be blowing in a non existent breeze, it also had wings and a horn while the rest had either wings, a horn, nor neither.
Turning around quickly he fired a quick shot at the one still chasing him, the shot went into the creature’s neck and it fell to the ground bleeding and twitching. He now turned his attention to the fifteen other creatures.
Luna had come this far out into PonyVille to see this creature Celestia had told her about and now she found it, it had just attacked one of the hospitals nurses. It turned to face her again, that weapon pointed at her as her guards took defensive positions around her.
She could tell this creature would be very dangerous if it got away from them, it's already killed a pony maybe more. Something about the creature seemed off though, she couldn't tell what but something seemed off. She prepared an anesthetic spell.
The Wanderer looked at the blue one, it’s horn was glowing. A sudden burst of excruciating pain shot throughout his whole body but the worst of it was his head. He was nearly forced to the ground from the pain alone. He felt a cool sensation run down his face, he put his hand to the spot ‘keeping the pistol aimed at the blue one’ and when he pulled back he was bleeding. He felt the same sensation just below his eyes and in his ears. His hand began to shake violently and he fell to one knee, he was going to pass out. He took his one shot, then faded into oblivion.
Author's Note
Well here's the first chapter, please let me know if there is anything wrong (Constructive criticism not trolling) I will be happy to fix anything that is wrong. More chapters soon I've just got to get them edited and finalized. Please let me know what you think and thanks for stopping by. 
Chapter 2: The meeting
The creature was tied to the hospital bed with four royal guards in the room and two more outside the door. “Isn’t this a little over kill, Luna?” Celestia asked her sister as the two walked into the room.
Luna just shook her head “Tia it attacked four ponies, killing one of them mind you, and tried to attack me. The only reason it’s not in stocks right now is because we’ve never seen one of these things before.” Celestia nodded.
The nurse it had knocked out was sitting in the room, she was holding an ice bag to her head as she looked over the monitors “I don’t get it” she said to herself “This thing was out cold. Nothing we tried would even get a reaction out of it. So how in Celestia’s name did it get up and go on a rampage?”
Celestia was over the nurse’s shoulder looking at the same monitors “That’s a very good question. How could this creature come out of a comatose state so quickly and be in such good health as to go on a murderous rampage?” Celestia had seen a lot in her thousand years of rule but never something like this.
The nurse jumped slightly and let out a small eep “Aaah Princess, I-I didn’t notice you there! Uh..How can I help you?” Redheart said trying to regain her normal professionalism. “How did she manage to sneak up on me like that?” She thought.
Luna was the one to reply “We’re going to interrogate this creature, I want you to sedate it should it try anything.” Redheart nodded and the two princesses walked to be beside the creature and waited for it to wake up.
Five minutes later.
The Wanderer woke for a second time in the same place with the same things around him the only difference this time was the creatures in the room with him. He started to panic slightly when he found he was tied down to the bed “No! Not this again! Please not this again! Anything but this!” he thought as he struggled against the restraints, memories of mothership Zeta going through the back of his mind.
The blue thing that he saw earlier got close up to his face, pinning him down with a hoof. “Why did you attack those four ponies?” It asked loudly, it sounded like a woman. He stopped fighting when it spoke, he just stared at it,at... her?
She asked the question again pushing the hoof into his chest, it was now starting to hurt. “Y-You can talk?” He absently minded asked. Thousands of questions ran through his head as he stared into ‘her’ teal eyes.
She nodded and he noticed her expression changed slightly “Yes, I can talk. Now tell me why did you attack those four ponies?” She eased off him slightly.
He laid his head down and stared at the ceiling “I didn’t know you things could talk….I thought I was captured by the Enclave again.” She pulled away from him and moved to the other side of the room.
He could hear her talking to someone else but he didn’t pay attention. He was busy trying to figure out if he was still in the wasteland or not. After all, for all the fucked up things the capital wasteland has, it dosen’t have these things, whatever they are.
Another one of the things came to him. This one was like the blue one, but white, its hair was a rainbow not a like a night sky, and it seemed taller. “Can you tell us your name?” This one had a woman’s voice as well though it sounded softer than the other ones.
He looked into her pink eyes and felt a warmth that made him want to trust this creature. He didn’t trust them though and Brotherhood protocol is specific about being captured by savages “Sorry, name and rank withheld as per brotherhood protocol when captured by hostile savages.” This apparently made her sad, he could see the slight trace of disappointment in her eyes as she turned away.
He figured the best thing to do in this situation was to play neutral until he could safely determine whether or not these creatures were hostile. “Don’t feed the yao guai.” Three dogs psa played in his head.
The white one turned to face him once more “Well what should we call you?” She asked her eyes showing compassion and a willingness for friendship. He couldn't help himself but to look into her eyes.
There was something behind the hope and compassion in her eyes. He could tell she was old, and had seen a lot in her lifetime, probably more than he ever would. “Three dogs taken to calling me the lone wanderer. I suppose you could call me that.” He kept staring into her eyes.
She nodded with a smile “Okay then, Wanderer why did you attack those four ponies?” she asked calmly. He just looked away and began struggling to get free again. She sighed and walked away from him.
Celestia leaned close to Luna and whispered just loud enough for her to hear “I don’t think he knows what's going on.” Luna just nodded in response.
Luna walked to a table of the creatures things and levitated up an L shaped piece of metal. The same one he’d used during his ‘escape attempt’. She walked to him and held it out in front of him “What is this thing?”
The Wanderer braced himself as the blue one aimed a 10mm at his head. A minute after she asked the question he looked at her “Rule one on firearm safety, NEVER POINT THE BARREL AT SOMETHING YOU DON’T INTEND TO KILL! God have you never seen a fucking gun before! Even fucking kids know that shit!” He shouted at the blue one.
Luna was taken aback by his yelling, so much to the point where she lowered the ‘firearm’ and just stared at him. Most everypony in the room just stared at him. He had just yelled at a princess, and swore, a lot.
He sighed and rested his head on the pillow “Listen, I’m sorry I attacked those people. I thought I was in a dangerous place and was slightly panicking. So I did some things I wouldn’t have if I knew what was going on and I’m sorry.” He looked into her teal eyes. “All I want is to go home. Please, I’ll make amends for it in whatever way you see fit. Just let me go and I’ll make up to you.”
He figured he’d play nice until he was certain he could get away from them. As he saw it right now he was outnumbered, out gunned, and dealing with an unknown enemy. It’d be a bad idea to try and make any demands or threats right now. “But I’m not gonna let them walk over me. All else fails I’ll just shoot my way out.” He thought, silently preparing himself for the worst.
Celestia and walked over to the bed “You’ll make it up in whatever way we see fit?” she said testing him a bit. He nodded. Celestia smiled and untied him. “We’ll have to think of a suitable punishment, but as of now you will cooperate with us, peacefully and fully.”
He nodded “Of course. But” He held up a finger as he sat upright. “If what you ask me to do is immoral and against my principles. I will do it, but then I will no longer work with you and you will be considered an enemy.” He gave a tone of finality. Celestia just nodded.
Luna levitated another object in front of him “Can you tell us what this is, and why it was attached to your arm?”
He sighed “You’re not gonna leave me alone until I answer all your questions, are you?” He asked seeming to know his fate.
Celestia was about to answer but Luna cut her off “Until we can be certain that you will not cause anymore harm you will remain either restrained or under constant guard and part of that is knowing what all this stuff is and what it does.”
He nodded “Of course, I understand.” He understood why they were doing this, he'd probably do the same if he was in their place, or more likely just shoot the person in his place.
Luna showed him the object once again “What is this and why was it attached to you?” He repeated her question.
“It’s a Pipboy 3000, the other thing is a 10 millimeter pistol, the rest of it is survival equipment food, water, medical supplies, things like that.” He answered.
“What exactly is a ‘pipboy’ ? “ Luna asked.
“A personal information processor. It keeps track of all the data that’s put into it, my health, how much equipment I have, the condition of said equipment, ammunition, and it also does a bunch of other stuff, like keep track of radiation, become a flashlight, or even a radio.” He answered, only leaving out most of the pipboys functions. “Hell even I don’t know what all it can do, and I’ve had the damn thing since I was ten.”
“Luna could I speak with you for a moment?” Celestia asked as she opened the door. Luna followed her.
Once they were alone Celestia began “Luna we need to move this creature to a more secure place. I don’t like the idea that anypony who looks through that window can see him. Until we know exactly what we’re dealing with, we need to keep this as quiet as possible.”
Luna nodded in agreement “We should also gather the elements should he try anything.” Celestia nodded.
They looked to the room he was in, together they would decide the fate of a creature from another world. Whether he would live or die, return to his home or be stuck in a cell for all eternity.
