Fallout Equestria - Chronicles of Chrysalis

Tail blazer

I  found  the  stallion  I  was  looking  for  and  began  tailing  him.  Once  I've  done  this  I  need  to  warn  Tax  about  it.  He    has  an  Auto  -  wagon,  food  and  protection.  Or  at  least  I  hope  he  does.  I  can't  control  him  because  that  would  mean  burning  valuable  energy  to  make  him  obedient.  just  like  I  did  with  Shining  Armour  but  I  don't  have  enough  energy   on  hoof  to  keep  him  under  my  control  for  enough  time.  So  as  much  as  I  hate  it  I'm  going  to  have  to  ask  him  for   help,  and  while  I'm  at  it  I  might  as  well... I  let  out  a  deep  sigh.  Ask  him  for  a  place  to  stay  tonight.

The pony I was tailing walked into an ally. I leaned against the wall and poked my head out a little and saw at least two other ponies standing around in the ally. A dark green unicorn mare and a dark blue unicorn stallion. I drew my head back and listened to what they were saying. "So what did you find Breeze?" said the blue stallion.

"There's a pony in the eastern Badlands named Metal Screens that knows more about the mystery vault," said the brown stallion now known as Breeze.

"Anything else?" the mare said.

"It might be connected to something called "the elements of harmony" but I don't have anything solid on it Spear"

"Very good, let's tell A.C the good news," said the stallion now known as Spear.

That was more then enough info for me to connect the dots. I turned around and a crimson red stallion with a smile was in my face. "Hello there pretty, what have you been hearing?" Uh oh, the stallion started advancing towards me, as he did I backed up little by little until I found myself in the ally with the other three ponies.

"HAY BOYS, WE GOT A SPY!"

"And a dam pretty one too. Let's have some fun with her, right guys?" Spear said, I know he can't read my thoughts but if your going to what I think you going to do...your dead.

"Ok really, can't you go for one day without trying to rape somepony Spear? you know what, I'm off. I can't watch this," yep, he's going to do it.

The three stallions started to converge on me while the mare walked straight past me and left the ally.

I needed to think fast here, my horn flared up and I squeezed just about enough magic to teleport. in an instant I teleported out of the ally and ran for it at top speed.

"STOP HER!"

I ran past the bar hoping to get to the workshop/garage, shoving anypony in my way to the side. Halfway there a crimson red barrier of magic suddenly rose in front of me, stopping me. I tried to break it but I didn't have enough magic left to cast a strong enough shield breaker spell. I turned around and before I knew it the ponies chasing me where in front of me although it looks like Breeze couldn't keep up.

This had suddenly turned from a chase into a fight. The crimson stallion was focusing on keeping the shield up and strong enough to not be broken by any incoming assaults from outside, he had turned it into a large dome while the blue stallion, Spear, started trotting to the left and then the right in a straight line and back again. I smiled.

From  what  he  tried  to  do  earlier  I'm  going  to  make  him  suffer.  He  stared  at  me  with  murderous  intent,  aggression     and  confidence  flowed  through  him.  I'd  almost  say  he's  done  this  before,  not  the  raping  mind  you,  the  killing.  He      started  walking  in  my  direction  with  a  face  meant  to  intimidate,  but  I  wasn't  scared.

I gave him the same face of fear he was trying to cast upon me. A small jolt of fear sped through him, it was brief and small but there. He lunged at me, front hooves first. I've seen my children do this plenty of times, and as a result, I know how to counter.

I  stood  on  my  hind  hooves  and  extended  my  body  as  he  reached  me,  I  landed  a  blow  supported  by  my  body  on  his face  or  to  be  more  specific,  his  left  eye.  The  stallion's  body  twisted  and  hit  the  ground.  He  got  up  quickly  and         covered  his  eye,  grunting  from  pain  and  gritting  his  teeth.  He  charged  me,  I  dodged,  and  as  I  dodged  I  swiped  some of  the  sand  off the  ground  into  his  face.  The  stallion  stumbled  and  lost  his  balance,  falling  to  the  ground.

I saw my opportunity to finish him, but I think I'll let him get up. I want to beat him till he blacks out from pain for what he tried to do to me. He got up and looked at me. "Your dead, you hear me! Dead!"

"Then come kill me," I replied. As long as he didn't use his magic I wasn't in any real danger.

And with that the crimson stallion stopped what he was doing and made a dash for it. With the dome down the guards came rushing in with guns aimed at both of them. "You've got some explaining to do miss uh", said the guard.

"Clean Kiss", said Chrysalis.

"Wooden Shield go and get that pony over there, Clean Kiss your going to tell me what happened here", said the guard.

"That pony and his friend tried to rape me so I ran away", said "Clean Kiss".

"You don't have to tell me the rest, I saw what happened", said the guard.

"Hay Rock, it's the rapist, Icy Spear", said Wooden Shield.

"Really, you mean it?", said the guard know known as Rock.

"Yea, this pony just knocked out the rapist", said Wooden Shield.

"Nice one, Clean Kiss there may not be a reward for taking him down but dam I'm sure going to give you one", said Rock. Rock then reached into his saddlebag and pulled out a bag of one hundred caps and gave it to Chrysalis. "By the way I strongly suggest buying a saddle bag, the general store should be to the left if you go straight ahead past the diner", said Rock.

Rock then helps Wooden Shield carry Icy Spear to the sheriff's office. Chrysalis had taken Rock's advice and heads to the general store, besides if she was going to get more things she'd need a saddle bag anyway.

After walking to the general store she opened the door and walked in. The store was quite big for a corner store and had a lot of random and or useful thing's on the shelves like bags, wrenches, buckets and even a teddy bear with the name tag "Dolly". But most of it was just plan junk to Chrysalis. The walls were dim and grey like the life had been sucked out of them and the lights were a bit dim but otherwise you could see just fine with a little adjustment.

Chrysalis walked to the counter and sat down on one of the wooden stools similar to the ones at the bar. "I'm looking for saddlebags, got any?" said Chrysalis.

The mare at the counter walked over to Chrysalis and took out a pear of medium sized saddlebag from one of the metal boxes near the counter. "This big enough for you miss?" said the mare.

The saddlebags were dusty and had defiantly seen some action judging by the patched up bullet sized holes. They still had the equestrian look to them but it did look a bit old.

"It's ok I guess, how much?" said Chrysalis.

"Hold on, let me check the price", said the mare, "mediums are thirty caps."

Chrysalis opened her bag and took out the thirty caps with her magic. She put them on the counter and the mare swept them into a tray. Chrysalis took the saddlebag on the counter and put it on her back. After fastening it on she took a look around the shop to see if there's anything of interest to her but she didn't find anything of value to her.

She walked out the shop and shut the door behind her. Well I guess it's time, ask Tax for help, I absolutely hate having to do this but after the way I behaved at the workshop the chances of him helping me are going to be slim. This was so much easier before the war but I guess every world has it's end. I mean it can't be that difficult to just ask him for help, right? *sigh*.

Chrysalis walked to the workshop and opened the door, let's get this over with, as she walked in she saw Tax under the car doing a bit of tinkering. Tax heard the door open and slid out from under the car useing a bored with wheels on only to see Chrysalis standing there.

"Oh, it's you", said Tax.

"I need your help", said Chrysalis.

"After earlier, it had better be serious", said Tax.

"While in town I overheard a conversation about a mystery vault", said Chrysalis.

"A stable in the bad lands? no thank you", said Tax, Tax then slid under the car again with an uninterested look.

"No wait, the desert raiders are after it too and it might not even be a stable", said Chrysalis.

Tax quickly slid out from under the car with a surprised look on his face. "Well why didn't ur tell that me before? of course a'll

help", said Tax.

"Wait, why the change of heart so suddenly?" said Chrysalis.

"Me and the desert raiders have a bit of a personal history. Well kinda, now what else do ur know about it?" said Tax.

"A pony in the eastern bad lands knows more about and his name is Metal Screens. The raiders know about this too so we need to get to him before they do", said Chrysalis.

"Then let's get going, ah know about the place ur talking about and there's no time ta waste. But first i need ta finish installing the new suspension, go and get ma friends. They should be out back", said Tax. Tax then slid back under his car and continued working on it.

"Well, lovey town this has turned out to be", sarcastically pronounced Chrysalis.
