Funny, I didn't think you'd be interested in more. Alright, My name is Steel Breaker, I was originally a normal human guy in a convention but you know the deal, I bought something and ended up in a new world. Anyway, I'm six foot five. I have ash grey Chitin and my mane was a darker shade of grey.

What's worst you may ask is that I was sent to a Post-apocalyptic Wasteland from Fallout three only I was in Equestria’s past.

From being a normal Wastelander to the Messiah Of The Capital Wasteland and it'll all started with two teenaged Vault dwellers from Vault 101.

Defeating the Enclave and finding an oasis of trees were two of my greatest accomplishments. The tree known as Harold had asked me to kill him but I had a better idea and he agreed.

Soon after that began a whole new Adventure through Equestria. From The Mojave to the Commonwealth. I've made many mistakes in my life, so many that it would overshadow my good deeds but it never stopped me.

I'll just be quick here, don't want to waste your time. I was a human turned Anthro Earth pony, normally you'd think I would freak out but I didn't, shit happens all the time.

But that all changed when my ex and I went to search for her Sister. We were drugged and taken to a massive research facility where they proceeded to take some organs from my ex while they injected me with a mutagen that would've turned me into a mindless bug like monster that kills and feeds for a living. But what they did to her was was more severe than what they did to me.

They replaced a few organs with robotic ones. Heart, spine and lungs. Long story short, we got what we wanted along with the satisfaction of Revenge.

I would go on about The Mojave but I rather wouldn't talk about Ulysses.

After finishing in the Mojave, I had left for the Commonwealth a decade later after injecting a modified version of the F.E.V to Harold.

In the Commonwealth, I've suffered quite a bit. I was a Brotherhood of Steel Vanguard, so killing them was hard for me. I also met a griffin by the name of Salvador, The Sole Survivor of Vault 111.

We've been through a lot together and I felt a strange sense of familiarity towards him. Then he told the truth. He's like me, a displaced but not just another displaced, he was my little brother.

To say that was furious was putting it mildly. He not only left our family but he explained that he was trying to find me and that I was gone for ten years.

Which brings us to now. He stood there with a smirk, knowing that there were ponies behind him.

“You're not my brother, not anymore.” I stated, anger seething through my tone of voice. Twilight stood back, trying to wrap her head around the situation.

“I helped you, I saved your ass from the wreckage, I gave you new limbs and you still can't accept me back.” He said with a frown.

“No, bribery is making it worse. Nothing in the whole world could change my mind.” I said to him. I looked behind him and saw Nyx and Scootaloo behind Twilight.

“I'm sorry alright, is that what you want?” He asked, I shook my head no.

“You killed innocent people, you robbed me of my six thousand caps. You killed every single faction regardless of what they did. If being related to you means being related to a homicidal, alcoholic, Chem addict then I'd rather fight three alpha deathclaws bare handed.” I firmly stated.

“That wasn't me, it was the institute. That's why I blew it up.” He said in defense.

“You killed everyone inside, including your dying son. He wanted to give you a synth with his likeness as a child, so you could be a father again but you ignored him.” I said, causing him to look down in sadness. Seeing this, I felt my brotherly instinct kick in.

“You could've done so much good with the institute. You could've been a hero but you didn't and for what? Revenge? Kellogg apologized and gave you his prized gun as an apology.” I told him as I crossed my arms at him, waiting for an answer.

“The day I lost Nora, my whole world fell. So don't you tell me what I could've been because without her, I'm nothing.” Sal said as he pulled out a M1911 and aimed at me. This caught everyone by surprise but me.

Twilight was about to use magic but I raised my hand to stop her from doing so.

“Do it, because if you do, you'll know I'm right.” I said, waiting for him to pull the trigger but heard sound of metal hitting the crystal floor.

“How can I change?” I heard him ask.

“I can't tell you, it took someone else to encourage me to change....and losing my leg but you get the point.” I said to him. I offered my hand to him and he took it. I yanked his arm and pulled him to hug.

“This is for having you back.” I said as I pulled back. I then punched his beak, causing him to fall on the floor as he held his beak in pain.

“And that is for breaking in here.” I told him. It hurt my hand but, so worth it and I still have more left.

“Steel, what's going on and who is this?” I heard Twilight ask me as she walked towards me with Nyx and Scootaloo.

“This-” I started as I stomped him on his chest.

“Is Salvador De Rivera, my little brother.” I said before kicking him again. He knows he deserves worse and is taking it like a man. Speaking of which.

I kicked him again, this time in the area every man has to protect, causing him to scream in a high pitched tone.

“Then why are you doing this!?” Twilight shouted as she pulled me away.

“I'd rather keep it short, back then I was known as The Messiah and he was known for being Evil incarnate.” I said to her as she held me.

“But he's changed, right?” She asked me. I'm pretty sure I'm going to be hauled off into questioning.

“I don't know, but I know who can tell for sure.” I said to her. I then felt a pair of arms around my legs.

I looked down and saw Scootaloo with a worried look.

“You're not going to put it back on are you?” She asked me. I placed a hand on her mane and began to stroke it.

“No, I promised you I wouldn't.” I told her, earning a smile from her.

“Steel, is this going to stop our Linguistic lessons?” I heard Nyx ask me. I told her that I studied multiple languages, mostly french and spanish but as soon as I told Nyx she begged for lessons.

“No. You two should head to school without me, I need to go visit Fluttershy.” I said as I forced Sal to his feet and pushed him.

“Move it.” I ordered him as I walked out the throne room with him following behind.

I'm not going to let this ruin everything’ I thought as I passed by Kate, one of Chrysalis’ foals. I stopped and looked back only to see Spike with a sheepish smile as he waved at me.

I shook my head and turned back to the door and saw Scootaloo there.

“Can I come with?” She asked. I looked at her, waiting for her to tell me why.

“Why?” I asked her. I heard Sal mutter something out but I stomped his foot to shut him up.

“I-” She started but stopped, not able to come up with a reason. I crouched down and picked her up.

“I'll write up an excuse but just this once, alright.” I said to her as I straighten up. I took hold of Scootaloo's backpack and dropped it near the door.

I then opened the door and helped Sal walk out.


8:48 A.M.


We arrived at Fluttershy’s cottage and saw Dogmeat carrying two bags of seeds on that were suspeded by a pole on his back. He let out a bark and gained the attention of all Shy’s brids.

Scootaloo walked up to him and hugged his neck. When she pulled back, Dogmeat greeted her with an onslaught of licks.

I walked up to him and petted him behind the ears, making him shake his back leg. Once he saw Sal, his mood changed to that of anger.

I managed to calm him down but when Sal got near him, he almost bit him. I went and knocked on Fluttershy’s door.

A few seconds later, a familiar bear opened the door with a tired look.

“Morning Harry.” I greeted him as he let out a yawn.

“Is Fluttershy here?” I asked the bear. He held out a claw and walked inside, minutes later he came back with Fluttershy following behind.

“Hello Steel.” She greeted.

“Good morning, I'm sorry to bother you so early in the morning but something came up and I need to ask a favor from you if it isn't too much trouble.” I said to her.

“Oh, I hope it isn't as bad as I think it is.” She said in her usual tone. I shook my head and.pulled Sal up close.

“This is Salvador, my little brother and he's been a thorn on my side since I found him and I'm asking you if you could see if he has changed. He's usually a drunk, chem addicted, homicidal psycopath but he told me that he wants to change but I can't do it, I can't be in the same room as him.” I explained to her. She looked shaken up by this information.

“If shows any sign of danger to yourself, you come and find as quick as you can. I know that you reformed Discord and I'm hoping you could do the same to him.” I finished explaining to her. She closed her eyes and let out a breath she was holding.

“Okay, I'll do it.but it'll take time.” She said, determination in her voice.

“Take as much time as you need, I just want my little brother back.” I told her. She was about to ask something else but I stopped her.

“I'll explain later.” I said to her, earning a nod of understanding from her. She took hold of Sal’s arm and guided him inside.

Once the door closed, I turned around and came face to fur with Harry. I looked up and made I contact with the bear as he gave me a questioning look.

“Yes we're brothers.” I said, eanring a snort from the bear.

“Listen, it's complicated.” I said to him. He let out a small roar, meaning he was telling me something.

“Yes, if he acts with aggression then you're free to knock him out.” I said as I walked passes the bear. I walked towards Scoots, who was playing with Dogmeat.

“Come on, Scoots. Dogmeat has work to do.” I said to them, earning a whine from the both of them.

“You need to work for your food, remember.” I said to Dogmeat. I then looked at Scoots and saw her holding onto Dogmeats neck.

“If you don't let him go, I guess we won't go to that Wonder bolt show you wanted to go to.” I said outloud. She immediately let go of Dogmeat and ran up to me.

I smirked at this.

“Good choice.” I said as I started walking towards the Apple Farm.

On the way, I passed by a few townsfolk like Vinyl Scratch and Octavia S. Melody. I waved at both of them as I walked past them.

I heard Vinyl shout if she could use my Pip-boy for one of her gigs but was soon silenced by Octavia.

I chuckled at their arguing, either their dating or just friends with very little things in common, I don't know. I felt Scootaloo take a hold of my hand as we walked by her by her old home.

“Don't be afraid, Scoots. They're not coming back to hurt you, I promise.” I said as I stood on one knee and looked at her.

“I know, it's just I have so many bad memories of this place.” She said.

“I know, but I'm going to give you good memories, ones that you'll always want to cherish.” I said to her, giving her a kiss on the forehead.

“You really are like the best dad.” I heard her whisper to herself.
