Three days since deep depression
Well, my week could've been weirder than it was, thank the gods it wasn't. Twilight actually managed to convinced me in letting her help me and to be honest, I didn't regret it. She's managed to help me see that there are things left for me to do, a lot of things.
Lately I've been feeling weird whenever I'm around her though, it's not a bad kinda weird mind you. I feel, I guess the only word I could describe it, is amazing.
Andy suggest that I might be falling for her, of course I try to deny it but the more he explained it to me, the more I started to believe I was.
Enough about that, you want to know about the three days that have gone by. The day after Twilight got me to talk, she asked me to go get a few things from the market and I obliged, bringing Dogmeat along with me.
Little did I know that I was going to be pulled into a different world and finding out that the fucker who sent me here also made a token, just to piss me off. What was even creepier is that the voice in the token and the token itself was made by Vault-Tech. It was a bobble head and had the Vault-Tech recorded message.
After returning back, Twilight asked why I took so long and all I told her is that she wouldn't want to try to know.
The next day, Fawkes came to visit from Canterlot. He said the city looked great and all but the nobles were acting as of they had a stick straight up their asses, but Fawkes said that he did meet at least two nobles who weren't like the other and had become quick friends.
He came to talk about my 'problem' and I told him that Twilight has already started helping me with it. He was relieved that I had trusted someone else with my problems. Andy told him about me falling for Twilight, making Fawkes start telling me how it is completely normal to feel love but not know it.
I tried to ignore them as I worked around the Vault trying to fix a few things. I've also had Nyx and Scootaloo visit me a few hours after Fawkes arrived and I had asked them why they were here, to which they answered because.
I've gotten to know more about Nyx and Scootaloo, like for instance, Nyx is much like Twilight minus the whole studying is more important than friendship. Scootaloo is almost exactly like Rainbow in almost every aspect, except she...well, she couldn't fly.
She had thought that it was that she didn't knew but a quick trip to the hospital changed that. She had suffered severe damage to her wings, not allowing them to grow to the amount of damage.
She cried for hours as I held her to comfort her and I knew I had to fix this for her in anyway I could, via by magic or technology, even medicine. So I've been trying to come up with a solution but to no avail.
Even today I've been in the Vault looking for something, anything that might help. The room I've been occupying was covered in notes of some of the things that would go horribly wrong.
I've crumbled up another piece of paper and buried my face into my hands. I sighed in defeat, knowing that I wouldn't be able to help her.
I heard the door open behind me. I looked back and saw Twilight with a worried look.
"Steel, you've been in here for almost two days! You need to take a break." She said, earning a sigh from me.
"I know I can help her, but I don't know how." I said to her.
"I know you mean well but working for two days straight without rest could end up horribly." She said as she walked up to me and placed a hand on my synthetic shoulder. I placed my left hand on top of hers as I sighed.
"I know, but I get the feeling I had something for this, but I can't remember." I said to her. She looked at me in confusion.
"It was something I had came up with when Luna had crippled her wings in an incident." I said to her.
"Then maybe we should look in your memories?" She asked, taking a chair and setting it up next to mine.
"Are you sure? The Wasteland was a cruel place, do you really want to see that just to help me?" I asked her.
"Well, I get to help two ponies by doing this. The first is that I get to know what you went through and the second is that we get to help Scootaloo in the process." She said with a bright smile.
"Alright, hold my hand to activate the spell." I said, holding out hand for her. She did so and placed hers on top of mine and took hold of it. I blushed a little, barely noticeable thank you sneak!
I then activated the spell, sending us both to The Capital Wasteland through my memories.
Memory#2: Metro tunel to GNR
Time: 6:00 P.M A few hours after The Lone wanderer left Megaton with Celestia and Luna
Follow in his Hoofsteps
I opened my eyes and took notice of my surroundings, seeing a broken down train, the tracks blown off or buried under the rubble and a few clicking noises ahead of me.
I looked next to me and saw Twilight wearing the Merc adventurer outfit. She looked around and then back to me.
“Where are we now?” She asked.
“Old Canterlot Metro tunnels, if I recall correctly, I made it here with Celestia and Luna in tow after leaving Megaton.” I said, looking at my Pip-boy.
I searched through the inventory and took out a shiskabob. I flicked a small switch and caused the blade to erupted in flames.
“Pretty cool, huh.” I said to Twilight as I walked ahead.
“Also a little warning, this may be my memory but with the Pip-boy connected it makes it a simulation for the both of us, meaning when there's danger stay behind me at all cost.” I said to her, earning a fearful nod from her.
“Don't worry, I'm not going to let anything happen to you.” I said, looking around the corner.
Around the corner, the central station could be seen and few Raider bodies littered the floors with Feral Ghouls eating from them.
“The simulation stops once the memory begins, so we have to get out of here.” I whispered to Twilight.
“Okay.” She whispered back. I told Twilight to stay put as I handled the Ghouls and ran towards them, sword blazing.
One of the few Ghouls let out a screech and attracted the rest, only making me smirk at the fun that I'll have.
The Ghouls charged at me, only to get set on fire or stabbed by the sword. As I kept slicing the Ghouls in front of me, I heard more behind.
I quickly took out a 10mm pistol as I held the sword in my right hand. I focused at the Ghouls behind me and saw six of them, I targeted all of them and fired, killing them. I looked back at the ones in front of me and pistol whipped the nearest one, making bone crushing sound with each hit.
I looked over to the last one and pointed the sword at it. The sword fired a torrent of fire at it, consuming the Ghoul in the flames.
After that was done, I put away the sword back into the Pip-boy and walked back to Twilight.
Once I got to her, I saw that she was frightened by the Ghouls or by what they looked like. I looked at the corpses and saw the majority of them were ponies but there was at least three Griffins, Minotaurs and Zebras.
“What happened to all of them? What made them this?” She asked.
“This was a result of large exposure to radiation. Most common effects are death and being turned into them.” I said to her.
“There are some who keep their reasoning and sanity but are always outcast for being a Ghoul.” I said as I walked up the broken escalators with Twilight following behind.
“Do you do the same to them?” She asked me, making me stop and look at her.
“I may be the stallion who's gone through hell and back, the one who has killed an entire town full of slavers but one thing I'm not is a bigot.” I said to her.
“Slavery is legal?” She asked.
“Out here, everything is legal.” I said to her as we walked up to the gate of the surface. My Pip-boy lit up, signaling the memory begins outside. I opened the gate and held it open for Twilight to go through.
Once outside, the my Pip-boy emitted a pulse of some sort. I shook my head as I saw Celestia and Luna.
PoV: Steel Breaker (Lone Wanderer)
Time: 6:00 P.M
“Are we nearly there yet?” I heard Luna ask for the tenth time.
“No, so keep walking.” I said with an annoyed tone. It's five hours since we left Megaton and had to go through the Metro but luckily the walk through the metro wasn't as bad as I thought it would be.
“Steel?” I heard Celestia ask as she walked up beside me. I looked at her as we rounded up a corner.
“How old are you? You seem to know a lot about the wastes yet you don't even look like you're in your thirties.” She said.
“I'm eighteen, is that a problem?” I said to her.
“No it's just, you look and act older than your actual age.” She said, earning a sigh from me.
“I wasn't alway like this really, I used to be energetic guy but that was a long time ago.” I said as I faintly see the sunlight reflecting off of something. The closer we got the more I could see what it was.
It was a Brotherhood of Steel Paladin wearing the Power armor. I could see that he was talking to someone else and saw that it was another member, a blonde colored mare wearing Power armor and holding the helmet under her arm.
“Hey! Stop right there, civilian!” I heard someone followed by the Luna screaming. I quickly turned around and saw who it was but grabbed the arm of his armor anyway. I pulled him towards me and headbutted him as hard as I could.
He soon dropped to the floor like a ton of bricks, knocked out cold. I felt something wet go down my forehead. I put my hand up and touched it, then lowered my hand to look at it. It was blood, damn.
“What the fuck did you to him!?” I heard a mare ask as I turned around.
“Self defense, you don't just force civies to move out of the way against their will. I taught him a lesson to not fuck with me and so should you.” I said to her.
“Strong words from a stallion with no armor.” She said, crossing her arms.
“Who needs armor? I've went in the Deathclaw nest and came out fine.” I said, taking out a few Deathclaw hands as proof.
“You all rely on your armor. Take way your armor and what are you? Sitting fucking ducks.” I said to her, making her back away a bit.
“So you're the pony Three Dog’s been talking about, ‘The Lone Wanderer’.” She said as the rest of her squad surrounded the knocked out one and picked him up.
“It's wanderer for now on.” I said, gesturing behind me.
“I'm helping these two find their dad. Moriarty said we could find him at Galaxy News Radio, so that's where we're heading.” I said.
“Sorry but no can do-” I interrupted her.
“You're getting your asses handed to you by the Super Mutants surrounding the building, you need my help.” I said to her. She sighed in defeat.
“Fine but you also have to keep an eye on those two.” She said as she took the lead and walked around a building towards GNR.
“How did you do that?” I heard Luna ask.
“Do what?” I asked, turning to look at her.
“You knocked the one guy out in one go and convincing the lady to help us.” She said.
“The first is that sometime you have to know when to use your head and for the second question, I can talk my way out of a fight if needed to.” I said, following the Mare. Celestia and Luna took out their assault rifle I got them from the Super Duper Mart.
Once we caught up with them, we saw that they were taking heavy fire from the Mutants.
I quickly took out a tin can filled with Nuka-Cola Quantum, Abraxo cleaner and turpentine, pulled the pin and chucked it at the group of mutants.
Once it landed between them, they look down at it and one of them picked it up, but blew up along with the rest of them.
“And that's how you get shit done!” I shouted as the Mare from earlier glared at me.
We went through the broken building and saw a large building with the letters GNR on the side. I saw some Paladins shooting at the Super Mutants, who where oblivious to us being behind them.
I took out my palsma pistol and focused at the two Mutants at the door. My eyes then glowed green as I saw a heads up display of the V.A.T.S
Super Mutant
Head: 50%
Torso: 98%
Both arms and legs: 43%
I targeted the torso as it had a higher chance in melting him then focused at the other.
Super Mutant Gunner
Head: 60% helmet -30%
Torso: 79%
Both arms and legs: 88%
I targeted both it's legs and fired at the both of them. The first Mutant had a hole through his chest and was bleeding out like a broken pipe.
The second Mutant was crippled and fell to the floor as he screamed in pain. I walked up to him and shot another plasma round at him, killing him.
The Paladins soon stormed out the building and provided support to the GNR building.
It didn't take long to kill them all, due to catching them by surprise. Once over, I walked up to Celestia and Luna.
“Good shooting you two.” I said to them.
“Thanks.” Luna said, reloading her assault rifle.
“How did you get them without missing?” Celestia asked.
“I have this ability that acts like the Pip-boy's V.A.T.S but it's my eyes that does it.” I said, pointing at my eyes.
I heard someone walk up behind me.
“That was some nice shooting, sir.” I heard the mare from earlier say.
“Yeah..thanks.” I said, still angry at the way she acted earlier.
“I'm Sentinel Lyons, squad Leader of the Brotherhood Sentinels.” She said with a salute. She waited for me to introduce myself.
“Earn my respect and then I'll tell you my name.” I said, walking past her and heading towards the door to the building.
I passed by an enthusiastic Paladin rookie who was sent to check around the bus. I was at the door when I heard a loud roar.
“BEHEMOTH!!” A Paladin shouted as the bus was sent flying, killing a few Paladins, including one with a fat man. I ran up to the Fat man, grabbed and aimed but was smacked to the nearest wall by the Behemoth.
I screamed in pain as I saw a iron bar sticking out of my side. I looked around and saw that the Fat man was sent flying and landed near Luna.
Luna decided to run up to the Fat man and grab it while the Behemoth was fighting other Paladins. Luna aimed the launcher but the Behemoth saw this and ran up to her as she fired.
The Nuke hit the Behemoth straight in the torso, creating a small mushroom cloud of blood and gore. I saw that Luna was sent back to the wall and hit it hard, I could swear I heard some of her bones breaking.
I grabbed the pipe and ripped it out of my side, then stood up. I then ran up to Luna as Celestia did the same.
“Luna!” We both shouted as we got to her.
I used the V.A.T.S to see if she had crippled anything and saw that she had severely crippled her wings. Celestia saw this and held her sister close as she cried in pain.
“What happened!?” I heard Sentinel say as she ran up to me.
“Do you have any medicine to help her!?” I shouted, wanting to help Luna. Sentinel crouched down and took a look at her wings. She looked at me and shook her head.
“No, her wings are damaged beyond repair.” She said as she stood up.
“No, there's one way but it's a stupid idea.” I heard a stallion say behind me as I heard the stomping of Power armor.
I looked back to see a fully armored stallion holding his helmet under his arm.
“What?” I asked him.
“Timberwolf saliva, it has an extreme healing factor when applied to anything, wounds, crippled limbs even bullet holes. But the catch is that the wolf has to give it to you for it to work.” He said. I stood up with a look of determination.
"Then that's my next thing to do.” I said as I turned to look at Celestia.
"You stay here in the building until I get back. I'm not letting Luna stay like this.” I said to her. I knew what I had to do, I had to somehow find and convince a Timberwolf to help.
PoV: Steel Breaker (Present)
Memory#2
As my past self walked by us, I looked at Twilight and saw that she also knew what to do.
"Dogmeat.” We said simultaneously as I disengaged the spell and sending us back to reality.
I opened my eyes and was blinded by the rooms light. I rubbed my eyes, then looked at Twilight who was doing the same.
"Dogmeat is at the Castle. Hold on.” She said as she teleported us in a flash of light.
Once I got rid of my temporary blindness again, I went to look for Dogmeat in the throne room.
Once there, I saw Dogmeat sleeping in a corner with Nyx and Scootaloo beside him.
I walked up to him as he opened his left eye and looked at me.
“I need your help.” I said to him, earning a loud yawn from him as he carefully stood up.
I heard someone run up behind me, so I turned to see who it was and saw Twilight holding a small plastic cup. She gave me the cup and I turned back to look at Dogmeat.
“I need some of your saliva, this is really important.” I said, holding out the cup for him. He spat in the cup once, then spat again, making the spit glow amber yellow as it turned into a gel like substance.
I walked up to Scootaloo and shook her awake.
“Huh?” She said as she opened her eyes.
“I got something to help you.” I said, holding out the cup.
“For what?” She said in a tired tone.
“You'll see.” I said with a smile. I motioned her to turn around and raised her shirt up to look at her wings.
I took a bit of the gel in me hands and started to apply it to the center of her back, in the area the wings are connected to.
“What is that? It feels cold and sticky.” She said, complaining about the gel.
“You don't want to know.” I heard Twilight answer. After applying the gel, I put her shirt over her wings and stood up.
“Done, it should finish up in half an hour, then you can clean it off.” I said, earning a confused look from her.
“Scoots, it's for your wings, the gel can heal your wings.” I said, earning a wide eyed stare of disbelief.
“You mean-” She didn't get to finish as I crouched down.
“Let's see first, then we'll find a flight teacher for you.” I said. She tackled me in a hug on to the floor amd cried in tears of joy.
I smiled as I put my arms around her and hugged her back. For the first time in my life, I swore I felt the love of a father for her.
