The Three legends
A Fallen Survivor
Previous ChapterNext ChapterCommonwealth Glowing Sea
The glowing sea, aptly named given that it's a ocean of radiation where only the most vial and legendary creatures thrived. Where a crazy cult of people have been seen and a chance of death is quite immanent but in this dead land was one man. One who wasn't crazy nor a mutated monster, actually that depended on who you asked. He was a man who had survived where odds would have had him killed. He walked in a set of T-60f titanium plated armor, that held a large triple barrel shreader minigun. His name to the Commonwealth was The Soul Survivor. He had acquired said weapon after trying to steal from diamond city, but found out he was robbing his good friend Handcock. He made the right decision by putting a .44 round in that fools head and took the weapon and visited Handcock where they exchanged pleasantries and even travelled together for quite some time before traveling with many others that he had helped and even once loved like family. Now he travels with his trusty friend and animal companion Dogmeat who was wearing his armor and helmet. The Survivor walked on as a song on diamond city radio known as 'the wanderer' he actually loved this song sence it was so up beat and the lyrics were just great. With a beat to his walk and a minigun in hand he marched on in the glowing area of death. He jumped over a small hill with help of a jetpack and landed heavily in the center of a small crater. Dogmeat came up and leapt over to his master, growling as he did so.
"What is it boy? Something there?" The survivor turned on his blue headlamps to get a better look, only to be face first with many bodies that had growths and lumps all over them. He knew these all to well ferral ghouls that were either dead or playing dead. He readied his gun and tried his best not to make any sudden moves, for fear of waking them. If only, his power armor was to heavy and just one step made them start to rise up.
"Great...just what I needed." He spun up his minigun and got ready to rip apart anything that moved with Dogmeat snarling and growling at the moving corpses. His gun began to spit 5mm rounds like watermelon seeds. Ferral ghouls being torn or knocked over by the weapon the Survivor had learned to use with deadly proficiency, ripping off limbs and leaving blood on the dead ground. The ferrals were starting to pile up and the Survivor's clip was running low as it's barrels were turning a deep red from heat. Dogmeat ran up dodging a few ferrals and one or two stray bullets to jump on a ghoul and rip it's throat out. Dogmeat looked up to notice a strange glowing come from over the hills and a stomping of what sounded like a large creature.
"Really!?" Was all the Survivor could say as his minigun tore through ghouls. He noticed a glowing death claw riss from the hill and look apon the lower battlefield that attracted it over here. It's large stature was almost legendary and it's green glow practicly illuminated the whole battlefield when it entered. The Soul Survivor noticed a massive storm was starting to form over the fight and spiraled over head. Normally this wouldn't be a problem but this storm was...different. The main difference being that the radiant yellow lightning had taken a more vibrant purple. The glowing death claw eyed the pray in front of it, making it's presence known by leaning back and roaring to the sky. It charged right for the Survivor's position, lucky he had finally cleared out the remaining ferrals. The survivor pointed his minigun and let the bullets fly towards the beast. The beast avoided most of the attack by dodging left to right making it's way to the Survivor. It ran right for him and as his minigun's clip hit zero, putting it away he ran forward arm up charging right for the death claw.
They collided with a loud clacking of metal versus muscle. The death claw tried ripping at it's pray but the titanium arms were proving to be quite difficult to cut through. The Survivor used the armor's legs to continue to push the beast till it fell over, the glowing death claw returned to it's feet and was about to attack. The Survivor was going to retaliat but stopped as Dogmeat jumped and latched onto the thick neck of the death claw. The creature roared in pain and was going to rip the german shepard to shreds if it's chest wasn't impacted by the shoulder piece of the Survivor's armor. The sound of cracking bones and terring of muscle filled the Survivor's ears, followed by a roar of pain then....silence. The Survivor looked at the death claw that still glowed in the darkness of the storm. Dogmeat stood on the body of the monster looking up at the storm which had grown in intensity. The black clouds had swirled into a perfect spiral and were depending apon the Survivor and Dogmeat. The odly colored lightning was striking closer and closer to the duo of legends.
"Calm down boy, calm down." The Survivor tried to ease his companion who had started to wimper. The dark clouds formed walls around them and like the lightning started to close in on the two of them.
"My god...what's happening?" The Survivor asked as he looked around at the dangerous looking storm cloud walls. Dogmeat let out one last wimper before the clouds closed in on them and the purple lightning stroke them both, making their vision go black.
Ponyville Entrance to Everfree Forest
Luna was now running towards the forest after seeing a funnel of dark clouds land in the middle of the forest. She wanted to fly but the lightning was proving problematic and refused to let her fly. The winds were blowing with enough power to break branches and bend some of the smaller trees. The lightning that was striking all around her was leaving burns in the ground like scars and Luna was feeling....ill. She could swear that the lightning was poisoning her or something but Luna ignored the feelings of emptying her stomach and ran on. She pushed aside branches as she came close to the clouds, everything was so dark. It was becoming very hard to see even for her and her eyes. The lightning was closing in on the funnel of clouds that looked like puffy ink at this point. Luna watched as the spinning wall of ink started to slow and disperse like smoke in a room. The feeling of sickness from the lightning was becoming far stronger what with the time she was spending in the area. The place where the clouds had touched the ground was now home to a large creator.
Luna slowly walked over to it coughing from the sickening effects of the lightning. The hole was smoking and the sound of metal scraping metal could be heard. Luna was three yards away when a...dog covered in armor and wearing a helmet made it's way out. Once it stood up it immediately took notice of Luna and growled low as if warning her to back off. Luna had never seen such a large bread of dog before other then timberwolves. She tried holding out her hand towards it but that ended in a louder growl. The dog stopped growling as more sounds of metal and grinding could be heard inside the creator. Luna watched as a metal hand grabbed the edge and pulled up to reveal a large metal mechanical creature. A bright blue light shined from the side of it's head, it's chest was quite large and thick with metal. The arms were covered in scratches evidence of a previous battle. Luna had many thoughts questions and even possible answers in her mind but one thing was certain. This creature had seen a battle most likely many, it has most likely killed and might do so again. So the one question that had been willowed down in her mind was this...what should she do?
The Survivor was having one hell of a day, first he goes scavenging in the glowing sea where he knew there were many good places to find material. Ended up in an unexpected battle with a larger group of ghouls and then a glowing death claw of legendary proportions. He fights winning like he suspected and then the storm that had formed over head, one he would of payed no mind to if it's lightning wasn't such a bright shade of purple. Formed AROUND him and lifts him off the ground where he flew around holding on to his friend Dogmeat so they wouldn't be separated. When all of ah sudden BOOM he's dropped on his big titanium ass and blacks out for a bit. He wakes up and he hears his dog growling so he gets up to assess the situation and....something more mutated then a ragstag but more beautiful then any women (her curves screamed female) he's ever seen is just standing there. Looking at him.
He needed to say something, that was for sure because the look she was given him was not one that screamed she knows what I am. He was about to say something when Dogmeat beat him to the punch. The Survivor was gonna stop him when a thought came to his mind if she can earn the trust of Dogmeat then maybe she was....alright.
Luna watched as the large dog started walking over to her, it's armor clang and seemed to weight nothing for it didn't slow down the furry warrior. It came up and she decided to reach out her hand, she gave a glance to the metal behemoth. The Titan was so....still as if waiting for something. Perhaps it was waiting for the right moment to strike. Luna put her eyes back to the animal in front of her, it was slowly moving towards her inches away from her hand. She was going to pull away but....it's eyes were so sender but sad at the same time, as if saying I've seen and done things I didn't like. The dog moved forward and the Survivor was waiting for the outcome, and saw as Dogmeat snifed then licked the hand of this strange thing in front of him. Luna heard the metal creature let out a breath, and go lose in stature. It's seemed to let go of all stress as the dog licked her hand and what happened next shocked her.
"Well...good to know he likes you. Come here boy." His voice was muffled, as if by a screen. Luna couldn't believe her own ears. It was talking and in perfect equestrian no less, but now she was wondering. What was it? Sence the obvious ability to speak was now evidently a option, she decided to communicat.
"Why is it good to know that he likes me? Also what are you?" Now it was the Survivor's turn to second guess his hearing. She was talking and in english no less, maybe he should just go with it. The Commonwealth had thrown some crazy stuff at him before, once you've seen a crashed alien ship and follow green blood to an actual alien...well you learn to srug off the weird stuff.
"Well I find dogs to be a great judge of character, and I'm a human." He petted Dogmeat as he walked over to him.
"Oh so your a....humun." She had a slight problem with pronunciation which made the Survivor laugh.
"It's human not humun, and also what are you? I've seen alot of mutant things in my life but your...different."
"Well I'm not a mutant I am Princess Luna coruler of Equestria and controller of the moon." The Survivor had to hold back a giggle there. He was wise and kind enough to just let it be, then an idea came to his head.
"Well Princess, I should apologize for my behavior." He bowed, "I have insulted royalty and wouldn't want to be rude."
Luna smiled knowing he was joking, "rise sir, I forgive you." Luna made her voice as regal as possible to regal actually. This lead to the Survivor laughing yet again.
"Ya know, it's been a while sence I last laughed like that. I should probably introduce myself by name." He walked over admitting a tud every step. "I am the Soul Survivor, and I...don't know how I got here." The question hit like a full speed brahmin, how did he get here?
"I also was inquiring to ask that question... How did you get here? Do you remember anything of value, perhaps something out of the ordinary?" Luna asked almost forgetting the ursa major in the room.
"Last thing I remember was a radiation storm that had....purple lightning. That was all I really remember standing out after the battle, that and being lifted by some vortex and falling on my ass." The Survivor recollected his last memories, before landing in....where was he? "Actually now that I think about it, where am I?"
"Well your in Equestria, didn't you hear me?" Luna asked.
"Oh....well then, guess we're not in the Commonwealth anymore."
Dogmeat let out a sad whine and walked over to the Survivor. He immediately tried his best to lift his dog's spirit. Luna did feel a small twinch of sadness as well, she knew what it was like to be away from home. It may not be exactly the same but she felt she had to take some form of action.
"Soul...do you mind if I just call you soul? Is there anything I could do to assist you? Anything at all?"
"Well you can call me soul if it's easier. As for the offer..." The Survivor had to think. Mainly because he barely knew this Luna. Then again he wasn't home in the ruined Commonwealth where death was everywhere. Judging by how she hadn't tried to shoot him or kill him on sight this world most be somewhat better then his home. He decided that help in an unknown land with unknown creatures would be emensly helpful. "...sure, I guess some help would be great. How about you boy what do you think?" Dogmeat lost his sadness which was replaced with a wagging tail and a happy bark.
"Alright Princess your on, let's get going then." He started moving only to realize he had no idea where he was going. Soul turned around and told Luna to lead the way.
"Follow me, wait!" In all this excitement she had forgotten that her sister and their friends we're...less then ready for something like this. They we're either drunk or buzzed and she knew that waiting would be her best bet.
"I have forgotten that my sister and her friends have been...celebrating. Us walking into town while there like that wouldn't be good." Luna said with slight unease on her face.
"Oh well...that's fine I can wait till tomorrow." Soul walked over to a tree and leaned on it.
"But you will be here waiting for the entire night and probably some of the day. What will you do?" Luna asked.
"Well....I'll think of something. I tend to find things to do, so I'll be fine. I might even get some sleep for once." The Survivor liked the living hell out of that idea for his power armor was getting low on power and he'll need to do some minor repairs with what scrap he had.
"You truly don't mind being left here? Maybe I could find somewhere with at least cover from any rain that might occur." Luna really didn't want to leave a visitor like him alone. She didn't want him to hurt anypony or himself. The Survivor just smirked under his helmet and waved her off.
"I'll be fine, I got Dogmeat to keep me company and if it does rain I'll find something to help me out." Luna was slightly against leaving him but eventually left him to his own devices. The Survivor soon exited his armor to give it a once over. He saw scratches and a few punches in the armor but easily fixed. He tossed Dogmeat a teddy bear to play with and found a spot on the ground to lay down. The armor he was wearing was giving him quite a bit of trouble with laying down. He wore heavy metal armor on his arms. His chest, legs and head were covered in the strongest heavy combat armor he could make.
Sence sleep decided to elude him, he decided to look at the stars. In the Commonwealth you'd be lucky to see a few bright stars or maybe a shooting star. What the Survivor's eyes gazed apon was like a million pin pricks of light. He was....at a loss of words. The Survivor could feel the pale rays of light that came from the full moon tonight and he swore he saw like three shooting stars. What really got him was the peace... It was so quite and tranquil. He'd be lucky to get one minute of silence in the Commonwealth. Here he was like a ship sunken in an ocean of silence... And he loved every second of it as he drifted of to a deep sleep with Dogmeat at his side.
