Fallout: A Brony Tale

After what felt like twenty minutes of walking in the cave Vault 46 was located in Alex and Charlie finally found the cave's mouth. Upon exiting the cave Alex could see that this cave is located inside a RobCo robot scrap yard and right next door to the robot scrap yard was a RobCo robotics factory.

"Blimey! the Great War certainly did a number on the country didn't it mum? and this scrapyard *huff* you would never see General Atomics treat there robots with such carelessness, even the malfunctioning ones," Charlie says to Alex

"Heh yea but fortunately for us, "one man's trash is another man's treasure" as the saying goes, since we don't know what's out here it's probably best for us to get are selves some extra security  and with the factory right next door I can fix some of these bots and maybe even find some Pip-Boy maintenance tools in the process since that's the one thing I didn't pack." Alex says cheeringly to Charlie while wiping the last remaining tears from her eyes.

"Oh goodie I love shopping," Charlie says excitingly.

"Let's see are choices here," Alex said while looking into the vast piles of deactivated robots.

"Oh! this is a securitron, the next line of security/law enforcement robots that would have bested the popular protectron if it spread over the rest of the country before the war," Alex says as she examines a deactivated securitron on the ground in front of her.

"And It's surprisingly intact, I think We'll take the Securitron, uuuuuuuuh that sentry bot, aaaaaaaaand that assaultron," Alex said while Charlie got a big platform truck that was big enough to carry all 3 robots.

After loading all 3 robots onto the platform truck Alex and Charlie made there way to the RobCo factory.

"*gasp*" Alex winced when she accidently stretched her gun wound when pushing the platform truck.

"Mum? Are you okay?" Charlie said in concern for Alex.

"Yea I just put a bit to much force on my leg, I guess my wound is a bit sore," Alex said to Charlie.

After getting inside the factory, Alex first started with the securitron and after an hour the securitron's screen turned on but it was blank and the securitron said nothing.

"Now the fun begins," Alex said as she cracked her fingers and removed the screen to customize what appeared on it.

"Aaaaaaaaaaannnnd DONE!" Alex said as a picture of the head of Braeburn from My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic appeared on the screen of the securitron.

"Oh yea, I almost forgot," Alex says as she scans a Bookcase titled "Voice Modules"

"YES!" Alex says in excitement as she blows the dust off a Voice Module she picked off a shelf titled "higher pitched southern accent".

Alex puts the voice module into the securitron and it springs to life and begins to speak.

"This unit is in factory default mode. Do you wish to enable this unit's personality subroutine? " She securitron says to Alex.

"Yes," Alex answers.

"Acknowledged, Well Howdy there missy I don't believe I've had the pleasure of meetin' ya," The securitron says to Alex.

"It's Alex, do you have a name?" Alex says to the securitron.

"Uuuuuh...I'm sorry this is a bit embarrassin' but I don't recall  me ever receiving a name I just known myself as a PDQ-88b securitron," The securitron said to Alex.

"Really? General Atomics always gives there robots names. I'm Charlie by the way pleasure to meet you," Charlie says to the securitron.

"Well pleasure to meet you to partner, but I don't now if you noticed but this isn't General Atomics this is RobCo." The securitron says to Charlie,"  The securitron says to Charlie.

"Well how about I give you a name then? how's Braeburn?" Alex suggests.

"Why that's mighty kind of you Alex. I'll take that name. but I have to ask are you naming me after an apple or some character from a Television show?" The securitron asked.

"Television show," Alex answered.

"I see. Well thanks for the name I'll cherish it for as long as a live," Braeburn said to Alex.

After several more hours Alex was finally done fixing the other robots.

"Factory default mode recognized, is this unit to be placed under your command?" The sentry bot said to Alex.

"Yes," Alex said to the sentry bot.

"Acknowledged, this unit is ready to serve," The sentry bot said to Alex.

"Let's get going then," Alex said to the sentry bot before she moves on to the assaultron.

"Factory default mode recognized, is this unit to be placed under your command?" the assaultron said to Alex.

"I'm sorry what?" Alex asked as she was imagining how to personalize her new body guards.

"Are you designated to command this unit?," the assaultron asked Alex.

"Yes," Alex answered.

"Understood, this unit is ready to serve," the assaultron said to Alex.

"Let's go then, and I'm giving you a new designation "Sonata" its Sonata ," Alex said when suddenly she heard a noise.

"Understood," the assaultron said to Alex.

"ssssshhhhhh!" Alex shushes Sonata the assaultron.

"unknown noise heard in maintenance room, this is a restricted area, please step into the open and identify your self," says a protectron that's walking down the hall.

"HIDE!" whispers Alex.

"mum why are we hiding we could easily overpower this protectron," Charlie whispers to Alex.

"Law abiding citizens have nothing to hide, reveal yourself and surrender to law enforcement," The protectron warns while in the room looking for are heroes.

"I want to reprogram it too," Alex whispers to Charlie.

"Sonata talk to it so it doesn't notice me," Alex whispers to the sonata.

"Understood," The assaultron identified as sonata says to Alex with a lowered volume.

"Unidentified unit detected, state your identity and designation," The protectron says to the assaultron.

"I am a assaultron class combat robot, designation "Sonata" ," Sonata said to the protectron.

"you have designated yourself as "Sonata" checking known designations under said name.........designation not found come with me to RobCo officials for reprogra-a-a-a-a-aaaaam ," the protectron says as Alex sneaks up behind and hard shuts down the protectron.

Before she gets started on reprogramin and modifying the protectron Alex takes her backpack and pulls out some spray paint stencils of some symbols from My Little Pony, she then begins gathering several can of spray paint around the factory and begins painting, she starts off with the sentry bot which she just painted the wonderbolts emblem over the white military star and designation number on the side of it's torso, she then moves on to the assaultron which she paints the whole thing a light blue color and replaces the U.S Military emblem with a ponified version of Sonata Dusk's cutie mark, lastly she moves to the deactivated protectron which she paints it a bright and shiny white and replacing the police star on the top of it's chest with the cutie mark of Vinyl Scratch aka DJ-PON3. After she was finished repainting the protectron she began modifying it, first she added a radio module to it's system so they can listen to the radio while on the ol' dusty concrete trail, she then sets the power level in it's left laser claw from 10 to 15 and also sets its fire rate to fully automatic, she adds a small screen below it's cutie mark that displays some bars that bounce to the beat of the music being played, she lastly removes the right laser claw and using some scrap reinforced metal and an old radio speaker and raised the bass to a specific frequency so it can push back targets. After everything has been done Alex reactivated the protectron.

"Beginning startup sequence, unknown hardware detected, flashing operational subroutines, left laser claw operational, radio signals detected, radio module operational, right bass cannon operational, start up sequence complete. Greetings are you my friend? " The protectron said with bars on the screen on his torso jumping as he spoke.

"Hell yes!" Alex said with extreme excitement.

"Confirmed, what are my orders?" the protectron asked.

"For one you will now be known as DJ P-TRON and as for two you have a new job, your job is that you are my bodyguard," Alex said to the DJ P-TRON.

"Understood," DJ P-TRON said to Alex

"Oh my god this is soooo AWESOME!" Alex screamed while unaware of the danger lurking just outside the factory.

"What the fuck was that?" asked a raider to his companions before he looked up to the window to see Alex ducking behind the bottom of the window to stay out of sight.

"Oh fuck I think he saw me.....there were severed hands tied to his belt!!!!" Alex said while trying to keep herself from panicking.

"Oh I seen you, ya little bitch. If ya come out here quietly and ya don't give us any trouble I promise we will go easy on ya and just sell ya off to the Legion or the Fiends who ever is looking to buy,"

"Don't fucking tell her that now she will never come out unless we force her to," said the slaver who was traveling with the raiders.

"Guuuuh your such an idiot! you two, go in there and drag the bitch out and be careful with her, did you see that vault suit that means she's from a vault and do you know how much vault dwellers are worth these days, we will practically be bathing in caps!" said the slaver to the two raiders who are now on there way inside.

"This sounds like trouble to me," Braeburn said as his mini laser began charging up.

Seeing that a fight was inevitable Alex quickly gathered her thoughts and began giving the robots orders.

"Charlie, Braeburn you stay up here with me, DJ P-TRON get down there and deal with the two that are coming in here, while you two, after DJ P-TRON is done you guys will head outside and deal with the others. Is that clear you three? ," Alex said as she tried her best not to stutter from the fear she is still feeling.

"MA'AM YES MA'AM!" Said DJ P-TRON, Sonata, and the sentry bot.

"Damn you sure know how to take charge youngin', " Braeburn said with an impressed tone in his voice.

As Braeburn was setting himself down beside the open window ready to shoot if given the order DJ P-TRON was walking down the hall to the stairs that led down into the entrance area, when he got to the stairs he let out a warning to the two raiders who were already in the building.

"Warning! deadly force is authorized, drop your weapons and submit to law enforcement immediately," Warned DJ P-TRON.

"Yea go ahead and try ya tin can!" Said the raider before DJ P-TRON showed himself.

"Why the fuck does it look like that?" Asked the second raider in the room.

"I said...." The protectron paused for a moment.

"DROP IT!" Said the protectron in a deeper tone before extending his  right arm bass cannon and firing a large blue beam of energy being produced by the loud bass drops of the dubstep coming from the speaker on the cannon, with his music bars bouncing with every beat before the  two raiders are crushed between the beam of fatal bass wubs and a concrete wall.

"MOVE! MOVE! MOVE!" yelled the assaultron as the sentry bot mad its way to the double doors to the outside, with its twin miniguns spinning quickly, ready to fire at the will of the sentry bot when it got to the door it held its arm in front of its body like it's ready to charge and began speeding up to the door causing the door to fly open.

"Oh shit a sentry!" said the slaver before ducking behind a large rock to use as cover.

"Weapon systems locked on, engaging target, weapons free" the sentry bot began firing it's miniguns rapidly at any target it could hit and it did it well, by taking out half a dozen raiders but there where still several more that were firing desperately behind cover, there bullets either completely missing there target or bouncing of the reinforced armor of the sentry bot, but the sentry bot closed the doors and headed back inside to head back upstairs to cool off.

"HA! We got it running scared we are as badass as they come WOOOOO!" said a raider as they all began getting up from behind cover to engage the robots and kidnap and enslave Alex.

Sonata with her eye laser fully charged sprinted towards the door and kicked it down and fired while the raiders where still out from behind cover taking out about five of them.

"Running elimination subroutines, weapons hot!" Sonata said as she charged for the remaining raiders and melee killed them while Braeburn was firing at any stragglers from the top window.

"Yeeeehaaaaaw! That's right run little doggies RUN!" screamed Braeburn to terrify the raiders.

"FUCK THIS SHIIIIIT!" Screamed a raider as he tried to flee the battle.

"HEY! GET YOUR ASS BACK HERE!!!" Said the cowering slaver before the fleeing raider was hit by DJ P-TRONS bass cannon.

"Check this out!" said DJ P-TRON before firing both his bass cannon and his fully automatic laser claw as the raiders disintegrating them into dust.

In good time all that was left was the slaver who was cowering behind the same large rock as before he attempted to flee when the firing stopped only to be grabbed by the neck by Sonata with her laser eye fully recharged.

"Hey hey hey come on we can work this out eh?..he...hey lady can you call off your your bots so we can work out a deal? hey how about you tin can what do ya say huh?" The slaver asked desperately to both Sonata and Alex who was still up in the factory maintenance room.

"I wasn't programed to negotiate, human!"Sonata said to the slaver.

"You son of a...." Said the slaver before Sonata blasted her laser directly into his face.

"Is.....is it over?" Alex said still shaking from the excitement as Sonata and the Sentry Bot came back up to the maintenance room.

"The threat has been eliminated ma'am." Sonata said to Alex.

"Threat level green" The sentry bot said to Alex.

After wiping the sweat from her forehead and taking a couple minutes to catch her breath, Alex with her band of combat robots headed out into the wide and mysterious Mojave wasteland after a couple hours of walking Alex and company came across what appeared to be a farm with a young teenage boy hiding behind a rundown tool shed, as Alex approached she began to hear some yelling coming from the front of the farm house. When Alex made it close enough that the boy knew she was there, he quickly turned around  and began franticly talking as if in a panic.

"Please you have to help me miss, my parents are in huge trouble. please help them!" The boy said quietly but panicked.

Alex told the young man she would see what's wrong and cautiously got closer to the yelling from the front of the house.

"Please we gave you our crops, our animals, our ammo! FOR CHRIST SAKE JUST TAKE ARE STUFF AND LEAVE US ALONE!" said an elderly man.

"As we said the Caesar is not satisfied with your petty wares this time we have come to bring him a greater prize, we desire the boy and your wench as are slaves." Said a man wearing what looked like homemade Roman armor with two others wearing the same attire but one of them had a red flag on his back bearing a yellow bull.

"You can take me but leave my son alone!" Said the woman standing beside the man.

"THAT'S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN ANNA!" Said the man.

"We either get what we want or we kill all of you and burn your farm to the ground" Said the man wearing the Roman armor.

"Hey what's going on here?" Asked Alex.

"This doesn't concern you scavver, be gone or we WILL kill you." Ordered the man in the roman armor as the soldier on his left pulled out a rifle while the soldier on his right pulled out the spear that was mounted on his back.

"Centurion. Adalric she's wearing a vault jumpsuit suit, didn't  Caesar say he was looking for some one with the same attire?" asked the soldier on the right.

"Centurion. Adalric? Who are these guys?" Alex thought to her self.

"No it is not her for one she is not male the one Caesar is looking for is a male courier, for two she does not bare the number." Said Centurion. Adalric.

"We better make sure." Said the soldier on the left before aiming his rifle at Alex.

Alex's quick reflexes allowed her to get behind cover before the soldier could open fire.

"Unlawful use of a firearm detected, lethal force authorized, all unlawful citizens must be EXTERMINATED!" Said DJ. P-TRON before firing his automatic laser, killing both of the soldiers while Centurion. Adalric turned tail and ran.

"Huh? I didn't program him to say that?" Alex said in confusion.

"STOP! Evading arrest is a crime." Said DJ. P-TRON before Centurion. Adalric disappeared behind a large rock formation.

"Weapons deactivated, the criminal has evaded justice, calling all available Law Enforcement unit's. ERROR! NO SIGNAL AVAILABLE RETRYING.... signal found relaying direction of criminal." said DJ. P-TRON.

"A police signal really? how?" Asked Alex.

"Thank You so much for saving us from those Legionaries" Said the elderly man.

"Your welcome, I really dislike bullies." said Alex.

"Heh, glad your on are side." said Anna.

"You asked about the police radio signals?" Asked the young teenager who Alex didn't even know was standing behind her.

"It's the NCR, they reactivated the police signals and commonly use them to relay orders across great distances." said the young teenager.

"Now young man what did I say? we are in the middle of Caesar's Legion territory" said the elderly man in a stern tone.

"But Uncle they are soooo cool and they are the only ones who can defeat the legion" Cried the teenage boy.

"Will you two stop fighting! I'm sorry young lady here take this laser rifle as thanks, some Courier passed by and dropped it couple days back, said it was too heavy but it feels okay to me." Said Anna.

"Thank you so much! But I have to ask, both you and Adalric guy mentioned a courier, is this the same one? " Asked Alex.

"Oh no doubt he was a pretty weird fellah but funny he sure gave my son here plenty to laugh about." Said Anna.

"Weird? Weird how?" Asked Alex.

"Just his friends that traveled with him, one was just a normal girl but the others...well there was a Protectron, a ghoul, a radroach he kept calling "Steve", a deathclaw that kept turning invisible every so often, and an exact look alike of him who also sounded like him too but all he would say was advertisements for "The Atomic Wrangler Casino". Not only that but when I invited them in for dinner he kept glancing over at my radio and giving it the stink eye. Like I said weird fellah." Said Anna.

"Any how why don't you and your pals stay for the night, we have a spare bedroom, and there's even a charging station for your bots, we also got some Mr. Handy fuel in the shed aswell?" Said the uncle.

"That would be great! thank you!" Alex said ecstatically.

"I guess this makes us chuck-line riders now. hehe."  Braeburn said to Alex.

"Or chuck-line wastelanders as the case maybe, since we aren't exactly riding anything. " Charlie said to Braeburn.

"Huh, "chuck-line wastelander", I like the sound of that." Alex said to Charlie.

The next morning, Alex and her gang of bots continued to head to a town the farmers spoke of while speaking of the mysterious Courier 6 this town is known to the wastelanders as "Primm".
