Chapter 1: Empty Stable 24 (escape)
Empty Stable 24(Escape)
The light hitted my eyes as i slowly woke up from my nap,and have realized it was 19:00.
'' Aa did i seriously slept that much!? ''.
Lets just stop here and let me introduce my self. I'm Sparkle Bloom. The citizen of Stable 24. I'm living here alone with no family,but that doesn't seems to bother me.
I don't have much friends either,but i do have one and she is special. Her name is Thunder Rose. She is the only
one who actually understands me.
My job? I work as Stable-Tec technician. Most of the time i work alone,because my co-workers are too lazy
to even show their muzzles,
but it's fine by me cuz i can sometimes rest on the work.
** * **
I was deep in my taughts,thinking about the outside world. It was my dream to go out there one day,but every Stable had a rule that
everypony needed to follow:
Leave the Stable,never get back in
Wich was kinda stupid though.
Anyways,i'm hungry,and i remembered i have nothing in my refrigerator,so i just slowly walked to main kitchen
to grab some apples.
On the way i've saw that all room doors are opened. Weird. When i arrived,nopony was here.
'' Where is everypony? ''.
This place is usually full,and no place to sit but it's empty. The sudden scream was heard from the Stable doors,and it scared the life out of me.
God damn Celestia,what's going on?! I was so scared that i even forgot about my hunger.
Took a deep breath and slowly and quietly as possible walked to the Stable 24 doors. There were 3 tough ponies standing and talking about their plan. Next to them was a pile of ponies.
Did...they..... *gulp* I seriously didnt want to be seen,so i juust went back a bit and hidded behind little fence in the shadow.
'' We have searched all rooms. There isn't anything that could be useful! ''.
'' Shut up!! There is another floor that we didnt checked, you moron! ''.
Craaap! What if they see me now! Im just gonna move back more... *clopping sound fading away* Phew! That was close! Now if i wanna
escape,i'll need some food,a gun,ammo and a med kit.
Luckily i found all of that because one of those morons left their stuff here.
And now, a bigger problem...the code for Stable 24 doors. It's not like they are that stupid to leave th- Jackpot! I guess they are stupid after all.
Okay...The code is F4EAEAAT. It worked! Just when i typed in the code one of them went back here and noticed me!
'' Hey! You! Stop! ''.
Shit! In gallop i left the Stable and with a HUGE luck when doors closed in front of his muzzle,
and he couldn't go after me now with his gang.
Dead pony corpses were lying on the floor... It was freaky to watch! Turned on my Pip-Buck light and walked with a rush to the elevator that
was leading up to the exit. As elevator went out,a bunch of dirt and dust fell on me. *cough cough*.
'' Aa great! Now i have dust in my throat! ''.
Elevator stopped and i just couldn't belive with my own eyes. Equestria. The place where everyone used to live in piece,
has turned into danger
on every step. Wasteland,where even a plant isn't safe thing. Smell of air went into my nose.
Ugh. It was horrible smell. It was like a poop mixed with nuclear gas. Anyways i was a bit scared because i have NO idea what is out there,
waiting for me. And the most important thingthat i have to do,is to find out who sended these ponies to kill the whole Stable.
I think this will be an interesting journey...
Chapter 2: Surviving the first days
Surviving the first days
Walking alone on these paths wasn't interesting,that's for sure. Uhh... Wait. How come my Pip-Buck knows the names of the locations.
The current location i am on is... Shugarcube Corner. I trotted my way to there,with hope that no one spotted me. But before entering i stumbled across a vending machine.
SparkleCola.Celestia's bless! Finally! I found my favorite pre-war drink. And what's this? There was another vending machine.
It was orange and rusty vending machine, and it had a orange sun on it. Sunrise... Sarsaparilla. Sure can do.
I grabbed two bottles of SparkleCola and two Sunrise Sarsaparilla.
** * **
The place looked totally destroyed. Walls were covered with blood and some pony body parts as decorations. A pony head was hanging on that wall, had no mane and some sharp ornaments pierced into her eyes.
Pony's torso was ripped in parts and was hanging in a corner on a bloody chain. Disgusting! Gore was everywhere! I wanted to throw up so bad,but i had nothing in my stomach. I've tried to pretend that those stuff don't exist,but i couldn't. Just when i taught that i was on safe( or wasn't i), i heard raiders up on a floor.
Shoot. Should i attack? Should i hide? Or should i just run away?? I have several ideas in my head, but i couldn't deside.
But i suddenly got an idea! I saw one of those mini apple-a-like bombs.
Mabey if i throw it up there,it could kill them and i can kill the rest that stays alive. Sounds legit.
I done just like i planned and one of the raiders galloped to me put i pointed my shot gun on his head.
I was hesitating.
'' Come on!! Just kill me...already! ''.
It was obvious that raider was ready to die, but i wasn't really ready to shoot. But it didn't took me too long to chang my mind.
In the same time i wanted to bang five bullets in his head, but in same time i felt that my magic could drop my weapon and that can give him a chance to kill me.
I just took a deep breath and without hesitation, i used S.A.T.S. to make it easier and banged two bullets in his head.
EWW! His head got smashed in tiny peaces and his blood was all over me. Disgusting!!
I searched him and his mates that died of that mini bomb and tried to find something useful. The only things i could find was stimpak,purified water, some ammo for my shot gun and some other chems and drugs. These raiders sure do like to be addicted to these drugs.
As i finished searching raiders, my eyes cought a sight of something interesting. It was a sub-machine gun with some interesting patterns. Three blue diamonds ( do you know who's cutie mark it is? ;) ).
Wow.
Beside him was ammo for it and some food.
'' Pre-war potato chips, pork n' beans, Brahmin cooked meat and two fresh apples. Good enough! ''.
BEEP!
'' What? ''.
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! BEEEEP!
'' Aaa! Poop ''.
BOOM!
The explosive frag mine threw me on the ground. My front leg ankle is crippled. It hurts soo bad! I've remembered i picked up some stimpack few minutes ago, and i healed my self. So good to be fresh.
'' Are you okay? ''.
A tiny voice asked me.
'' Yea..i just healed my self ''.
Wait...she was here the whole time? Eheh... I can't be that blind though. I grabbed a bobby pin and a screwdriver and ran to her to free her.
'' Here..you are free.. ''.
'' For real..... ''.
I noded.
'' I just can't thank you enough! ''.
Just when she finished her words,she ran out. May Celestia have mersy upon her.
I walked down stairs to the kitchen. On the wall was a family photo.
On picture was a short mare,tall stallion,two baby ponies and another mare with curly mane and a big smile on her face.
I guess they were running this place before war.
After i left Shugarcube Corner, i had to find my self a shelter to sleep over night because its almost midnight.
And roaming around the most dangerous place at night isn't the smartest idea.
I was so exhausted. I could barely walk.
Right when i placed my hoof on a ground to make another step,i felt a bullet went through my hind leg. Everything seamed black.
** * **
My eyes were slowly opening.
'' Where am i.. ''.
'' Oh good! You are awake '',
said a pony with incredibly sweet voice,
'' You've been sleeping for very long time ''.
I slowly sitted on my butt while taking my canteen.
'' Who are you? '',
i asked before taking a sip from my trusty Stable 24 canteen.
'' I'm Medical Chain ''.
'' Nice name.. I'm Sparkle Bloom ''.
Then i have realized that my Pip-Buck isn't on my ankle.
'' Where is my Pip-Buck!? ! '',
i asked while looking around the place.
'' Don't worry! It's over there. I had to take it off because your ankle needed some fresh air ''.
I dropped my head back on the pillow with a sight.
'' So..are you a wanderer or.. ''.
'' Yes...and i'm going after one pony ''.
I stood up and putted on my Stable 24 jumpsuit and Pip-Buck.
'' Thanks for everything ''.
'' Where are you going? ''.
'' I'm continuing my journey ''.
'' Can i come? ''.
'' Sorry..Mabey later..i'll need some help later...Don't worry..i'll comeback if i need it.. ''.
She just sighted. I felt sorry now. I didn't ment to reject her like that but i dont want to put anyone in danger because of me.
I took my stuff too and jumped out.
'' Let's check if everything is here...Stimpack,food,SparkleCola,Sunrise Sarsaparilla,Sub-machine,shot gun,ammo, buffout,Mint-Als and...Rad away. What's that? ''.
There was a little note sticked on it:
'' If you ever get radiated, you'll need this. Oh and i putted some bottle caps in your saddle bags ''.
