I am the Wanderer
A long awaited explanation
Previous ChapterNext ChapterPoV: Steel Breaker
Location: Canterlot Train Station
Time: 2:00 P.M.
After taking a short nap, I was rudely woken up by the train stopping at the station. I gotten off and took a look at what I could see of Canterlot.
“It's weird seeing a remake of the City.” I said to myself. I felt someone putting a hand on my shoulder.
“Trust me, now that I've seen what it used to be, you're not the only one.” I heard Twilight said as the rest of her friends got off the train.
“Where to?” I asked them. Twilight smiled and led the way to our destination. On the way few guards were giving me questioning looks.
We finally arrived at the gate and the guards let the girls through but crossed their spears when I was about to go.
“Halt! State your business.” One of them said.
“Let him through, he's with us.” Rainbow said. The guards looked at the girls then at me as they raised their spears.
After passing the gate and entering the castle, we made our way to the throne room. On the way, we passed by a few nobles who had been giving us glares as the had their heads up high.
I groaned in annoyance as we walked up to a set of large double doors and opened them. We walked inside and I was blinded by the light of the sun which shone through the window. I looked through my inventory and pulled out a set of shades.
“Why wear those inside?” Rarity asked me.
“My eyes are a little too sensitive to the light when it's applied directly at them.” I said, gesturing my eyes.
After answering her question, I looked to the front and saw Celestia and Luna sitting on their thrones.
“It's good to see you again, Twilight.” Celestia said as she stood up and walked down.
“It's good to see you too.” Twilight replied with a smile as she gave a small bow while her friends were bowing at the Princesses.
“Dude, show some respect.” Dash said as she turned to look at me.
“I am.” I said to her, making her groan as she looked back to Celestia.
“Good to see you again, my little ponies.” Celestia greeted as she stood up.
“I'm older than you, Tia.” I said to her, gaining a small laugh from her.
“Yes, you are indeed. Anyway onto why I've called you all here.” Celestia said as I looked over to Luna, who was playing in her old Pip-boy ‘The Red Menace’.
I looked at her in confusion and decided not to ask as I felt a tap on my shoulder. I looked behind me and saw that it was a guard.
“All we know is that she's been trying to beat a high score.” The guard said as he turned back to his post. I remembered the time I played that game while stuck in the infirmary for two weeks and I managed to get the score of 10,000,001 points. I guess Luna took it as a challenge.
“You said it was time for us to know the truth about Equestrias past.” Twilight said as she looked over to me, making me smile a little at her.
“Twilight and Steel said it was a real shitfest.” Rainbow mentioned, earning a gasp from Pinkie.
“Profanity!” Pinkie shouted in outrage. I groaned in annoyance at the Fourth wall breaking mare.
“Pinkie, enough please. Or do I have to take out the Shock baton again?” I said as I crossed my arms at her. She looked at me with wide eyes and walked backwards as she slowly raised her hands.
“Thought so.” I said, knowing the last time she bugged me to the point I had taken out the Shock baton. I looked back at Celestia as she looked at me with a bemused look.
“As I was saying, it was about time me and my sister told you the truth about Equestrias past. The first being that their wasn't any unification, the pony tribes already lived together but the part on slavery was legit.” Celestia said, using the word I use to say a lot. I took out a small cap and flicked it at her.
“Legit my fur covered ass!” I shouted at her as she picked up the cap. She then placed the cap in between her cleavage, making me facepalm at that.
“Go on.” I groaned as I moved my hands down my muzzle.
“The slavery was real except it was the kind of slavery of kidnapping first and torture the poor soul.” Celestia continued as if nothing happened.
“Or hypnotized with the Mesmotron.” I mentioned out, gaining a nod from Celestia.
“Yes. There is also the fact that the land wasn't always as green and healthy as it is now.” Celestia said as some of her servants brought chairs for all of us.
“It still technically isn't.” I pointed out. The fact that all the plant life is made with the F.E.V and some of the serum I found in Vault twenty two with a friend of mine, made that very clear.
“The fact that it the plants around the world are have my own version of the Forced Evolutionary Virus infused in it, allowing the plants to live in an irradiated environment along with the inhabitants, who grew some sort of an immune system to the radiation.” I said in a matter of fact tone.
“Yes, I suppose that's true. Anyway, Equestria was a wasteland, with the first city ruins of Canterlot being named Wasteland Capital City while Equestria was infamously known as The Capital Wasteland.” She continued on with her explanation. I decided to look for an old recording crom Vault Tech.
I took out of my inventory and placed the tape in the slot of the Pip-boy.
“For those wondering, was there friendship, did it mean something? Watch this to see your answer.” I said as I moved my arm for them to see the screen.

After showing them a Vault-Tech presentation on friendship, the mane six minus Twilight, looked at me in shock.
“How can somepony treat anypony like that?” Rainbow asked me, earning a shrug as an answer from me.
“I've had a few real friends, a mare named Dead eye, known for her record of never missing a single shot. We had a couple of weird and wacky adventures, except for the Sierra Madre incident.” I said the last part mostly to myself.
“The Wasteland known as the Mojave--” I was interrupted by Rarity.
“Where Las Pegasus is loca-”
“INTERRUPT MY STORY AGAIN, RARITY! SEE WHAT HAPPENS!” I shouted at her, making her sit straight with a pale face.
“Anyway, the Mojave was a cruel and unforgiving wasteland filled with abominations. I needed something from the Mojave and she needed help, so we became partners. We've been through thick and thin, I just hope she got what she wanted.” I said, noticing a sad look from Twilight as I kept mentioning me and Dead Eye’s close relationship. It hurt seeing her like this. Heh, funny, I care about her, I'm beginning to think Fawkes and Andy are right.
“After I had finished my travels with Dead Eye and had heard about a large scale Civil war happening north of Canterlot, there I met a Griffin known as the Sole Survivor.” I began telling them a little bit about the Sole Survivor.
“You see, he was from Equestria before it went to tartarus. He was one of the lucky ones to gain entry to a Vault, unfortunately that Vault had gotten the orders to freeze all its inhabitants in Cryogenic stasis for the next two hundred years. I think, if I remember correctly, he and his wife and child were taken out of cryo stasis, but they only opened his wifes pod and tried taking their infant son. He saw his wife get murdered and his son foalnapped.” I said to them, earning gasps from the girls. Celestia and Luna looked down in sadness, already knowing his tragic tale.
“He awoke some time later and swore vengeance for his wife. After he got out of his Vault and headed down the main road, that's where he and I met. Guns pointed at each other, waiting for a single slip of the finger but nothing happened, no bullets, no rockets just us and a single tumbleweed passing by.” I said to them, earning a laugh from Pinkie.
“After holstering our weapons, I had asked him about his business out in the Commonwealth, the wasteland that took the city of Boston. He had told me that he was searching for the man that killed his wife and took his infant son, a Minatour Mercenary named Kellog.” I continued on with the explanation.
“In the end, not only he did find the Minatour responsible for the murder of his wife and overcame his rage, but he also found his son, not in the way he intended to to though.” I finished the summery of my adventures in the Commonwealth.
“In conclusion, The Wasteland is more of a fight or die place, I'm just glad I managed to make it a better place with their help and others.” I said with a smile as I gestured to Celestia and Luna.
“No one told me that we were having a guests over.” I heard someone say. I looked around and saw nothing, then something out of a jigsaw puzzle appeared.
“Discord.” Luna said with hate in her voice. Discord? The supposed God of Chaos?
Didn't matter as I took out Dead Eye’s Anti-Material Rifle and aimed it at him, causing him to yelp and hide behind Celestia.
“Point it away, Point it away! I'm too beautiful and pretty to die!” He pleaded behind Celestia as the latter stepped aside.
“You look like an abomination created by the F.E.V I need more info on why not pull the trigger.” I said in a calm tone as the girls just sat there with wide eyed stares and shocked looks.
“Because I am! You wouldn't know me but the other guy did, they called him the Vault Dweller! The Master created me!” Discord said as he hid behind a wall of sandbags.
“The Master? And his F.E.V? Then I guess you're good, I met a Super Mutant named Marcus created by the Master.” I said lowering the rifle.
“Yes, though it's a shame how he died but it had to be done.” Discord said as he appeared next to me wearing a black dress and blowing his nose in a tissue.
“Walking on thin line here, friend.” I growled at him, causing him appear near Celestia again as he placed the black dress in a floating trash bin. Once he placed the lid, the trash bin caught on fire.
“Right.” He coughed into his hand as he waved the ashes away with his other hand.
“Aunty!” A snobbish voice could be heard followed by the doors to the throne open.
I groaned in annoyance as the girls did the same, knowing who the voice belonged to. Me, because I have to explain everything again.
