Fallout Equestria: The Stormcaller

"Um... can we begin to discuss more important issues? You know... instead of embarrassing me." I said, attempting to get the others back on track.

"Yes, I suppose we have teased you enough for today, don't you all agree?" Luna asked.

Everyone nodded in agreement, especially me. I then asked Celestia what would happen next, now that thing for equestria have gone to complete shit. She seemed uncertain, so did Luna. But they said that they were both assigned as overmares, which I assume to be the one in charge of the stable, or in this case the two. Also they said that everyone who as their cutie marks, would be assigned to jobs that best suit them. Which means your cutie mark decides your job in the stable. That also means Octavia would be assigned as musician like how she was before, and I probably would be assigned as an electrician, since my cutie mark are bolts of lightning. I'm not sure that I would be comfortable with that job but I try my best to cope with it. Maybe if I'm lucky I will assigned as stable security, which is a job I can most definitely handle. But Celestia told me that due to my current condition, I won't start working until a month or so. She also said that her and Luna would be my caretakers, or in Celestia's words:

"So I will be like your mother! Not trying to remind you of anything that has happened before this."

"It's alright Celestia, if my mother would have a say in this I'd bet she approve. She also wouldn't want to me to mourn her for too long. Mom would want me to be strong is what I am trying to say." I knew that's what mom would be thinking if she knew that she was going to die. It's basically my promise to her.

"Indeed, so sister and I will do our very best to keep you strong!" Luna said with enthusiasm.

"Plus, I've also wanted to have a son of my own!" Celestia commented, and Luna agreed.

"Thank you, right now... I bet my mom is smiling down on us." I said.

"Isaac, it's what we always do for you," Luna then turned to Octavia,"now Octavia if you may, guide our dear Isaac around the stable."

"Yes ma'am!" Octavia responded, then looked towards me and said, "alright then, Isaac just follow me and I'll introduce you to Vinyl."

Celestia and Luna then said their goodbyes and returned to their room. Then Octavia started her way to Vinyl's and I followed. As I did, it was tempting to stop and explore the parts of the stable that we walked passed. But I managed, and in matter of moments Octavia soon stopped at the door which read, DJ Vinyl "Pin-3 Scratch. Then Octavia began knocking on the door.

"Who is it?" A mares voice spoke, which I assumed to be the voice of Vinyl's.

"It's me Octavia, and the colt you helped recover." Octavia answered.

"The robo-colt? Well come in then!" Vinyl said excitedly.

"Vinyl, this is Isaac Heart-" Octavia could nearly finish her sentence, due to Vinyl's rude interruption.

"Hey there kid, names Vinyl! How's your foreleg? Isn't it just the COOLEST thing ever! I made it myself, pretty impressive for a musician like me, am I right?!!" I couldn't help notice but, Vinyl seem like if the balefire bombs never dropped, and she's only living in a fallout shelter because it seems cool.

"Well... it's cool and all but, I really just wanted to thank you for you know... not letting die and all."

"No problem kid, it was nothing really! Sure it took me about a week or so, but here it is! In the flesh, literally." Vinyl seemed really proud about the foreleg, so I didn't want to say anything about it that would disappoint her.

"Um... Vinyl why don't you explain to Isaac the devices features?" Octavia suggested.

"Oh yeah, well kid, what you have there is what I like to call the following: success, skill, and the pip-leg. Now what the [pip-leg] can do, is pretty handy. It has a built-in pip-buck, which is a device that is attached to the foreleg and has a radio, navigation system, E.F.S, or eyes-forward-sparkle, which is hud similar to the power-armor, S.A.T.S, another system which is used for precise targeting, and finally a storage system which keeps of your current inventory and along with health, and any other things you want to keep track of. But that's just the pip-buck part of it, your pip-leg also enhances your overall abilities, like strength, perception, endurance, intelligence, agility, charisma and luck is up to you." Vinyl then took a deep breath.

"Wait, when you said that it enhances my abilities, does magic count?" I asked anticipating an answer.

"Well if you were a unicorn like me, then yes, why ask?" Vinyl seemed confused, but I couldn't blame her.

"Does it have to do anything with that strange tattoo printed on you?" Octavia asked.

"What tattoo? I never had a tattoo." I then looked once again at my body for anything strange, and then found a jet black mark imprinted on me, which ran from my right forehoof to my right shoulder. It kinda resembles lightning bolts, like the ones on my cutie mark. I do admit, it looks pretty badass.

"You see? Tattoo right there." Vinyl pointed out to me.

"The mark of the storm-" I whispered to myself. I guess this is what the void-mare was talking about, "the mark of the stormcaller."

"The stormcaller? What's a stormcaller?" Octavia questioned.

"Me... It's me. I am the descent of the stormcaller. I should've told you when we were talking with Celestia and Luna." I explained.

"Sounds legit, what can it do?" Vinyl asked.

"Well it's kinda in the name. The ability to summon lightning from just a hoof. Have you and Octavia heard about what happened at Littlehorn?"

"Why yes, that was such a dreadful day for equestria, why?" Octavia responded.

"Did you hear about a colt taking out the invading zebra soldiers?" I asked.

"Yeah I remember, they said that a young colt took out the zebras single hoofedly. Was that you?!" Vinyl asked.

"Yes! It was me!" For some odd reason I sound excited.

"Oh... goddesses, you poor thing! I can tell you had extremely rough!" Octavia said.

"Well they weren't that tough, I used lightning to cut slice right through them. But... there was a teacher who I was good friends with that died that day. That's what cause the lightning to spark inside me." I said softly.

"So you can make lightning appear from your hooves?" Vinyl asked. "Can you do it right now?"

"I not really sure... but I'll try."

"Oh no... Isaac you don't have to, you already been through so much. Please, don't listen to Vinyl." Octavia told me.

"No it's alright, plus I plan on trying to gain full control. So if anything like that happens again... I'll be ready."

With that said, I began to focus my mind. If what Vinyl said is true about my new foreleg enhancing my abut, then making atleast a spark of lightning appear should be easier. As both of the mares watched expecting something to happen, I felt a little nervous. Since they were just staring at me in silence. So I tried to think about something that would make feel like I was alone, I then closed my eyes. Then I remembered how I got the lightning to spark, unfortunately, i did it when there was a tragedy. I didn't want to embarrass my self more than I already have, so I thought of tragedies that would ignite the spark. Then the thought of Silver Rose and mom's death came to mind. I tried to keep the sorrow inside and the anger out, since that is what I assume how I got my powers in the first place. Then I felt it... the anger within being the fuel to the lighting, and when I opened my eyes... I felt my nerves burning, my veins sparking, my heartbeat fasten. Then, my hooves became engulfed with lightning. I managed to keep it going for about couple minutes, but soon grew tried.

"Woah... That was AMAZING! Isaac, you are now officially dubbed as the COOLEST pony I have ever met!" Vinyl complemented.

"Wow... that was beautiful Isaac, why I have never seen lightning so close before. The pure blue light... why I just noticed... it matches your eyes." Octavia spoke in awe.

"*gasp*... thanks... I never... done something so... tiring." I said exhausted

"Yeah, I just noticed that too. Maybe it is just a coincidence?" Vinyl said.

I then finally caught my breath and spoke, "Really? No one has ever said that before... except my mom. She would always tell me I had the prettiest blue eyes, which were also the color of lightning during a storm." I then felt the sorrow slip, then I began crying.

"Oh come here Isaac." Octavia said wrapping herself around, like a warm blanket. "It's OK Isaac, for as long you have her in your memories, her spirit lives inside of you. This also goes for anyone that you loved and cared for, which has already passed."

"Yeah... what she said. Plus we can relate, Octavia and I lost our parents when we were about 5 years old. So we learned to look out for each other. And here we are, still alive. If we didn't learn to live will certain things we didn't like, then we'd be nothing more than just dead flowers." Vinyl spoke, and then joined the hugging.

"Thanks, you two... especially for saving me and all." I said thankfully. "By the way, how come you never told anyone that your both related?"

"Well since we look like opposites, we've decided to take advantage and it actually done us good. But it's really difficult to explain." Octavia said, not really answering my question.

"That makes... sense?" I said trying to sound like I understood it.

"Not many would understand, they would just be confused. But putting that aside, since I have you in my arms. You think I am attractive?" Octavia teased.

"Oh... so you have a special something, something, for my sister? You know she's not that older than you. It also just so happens that she has been looking for a special-stallion." Vinyl said, also teasing me.

"B-but I'm no stallion! And I mainly just admire her music!" I said nervously.

"Isaac... I also find you cute for little colt, and you DO have the prettiest blue eyes."

"Little colt? I am 10 years old! I'm like a preteen, and didn't we talk about this already?"

"Only 10? You look like your 8 or 9!" Vinyl said.

"Well I'm going to turn 11 pretty soon, in about 4 months." I informed Vinyl.

"But you do seem to act older than your actual age, just not in this situation. Your like a teddy bear... meant for hugging." Octavia joked. "Your so warm too, it feel nice."

"What?! I should be saying that... I-I mean since I am in the center." I said

"You two really would seem like a good couple." Vinyl commented.

"Really! I mean... in your opinion." I said.

"Isaac you seem nervous, what's wrong? Are my hugs not comfortable enough? Should I sing you a lullaby, and have you cradled like a cute little baby?" Octavia cooed.

"Yes..." I said in a low, embarrassed voice.

"I thought you would. Now relax and only listen to the sound of my voice." Octavia said, preparing a lullaby.

I really did need this. After all I have experienced in the last few days, this is what I so desperately wanted. Then Octavia began. Her voice sound so gentle and loving, like mom's. I could already feel drowsy, Octavia the most beautiful voice I ever heard. Then she faced me, with her bright purple eyes staring directly into mine. In a matter of seconds I feel asleep, as if I nothing ever happened, like it was a just a dream.
