Chapter 1 - The last of her kind

"Rise and shine." Was the last thing Rainbow heard before it wen't black for a few seconds, and then her eyes started to slowly open. Small light beams made their way through whatever she was laying under. She wiggled her left fore-leg free and tried to shove the thing of from her, it wouldn't budge. So she tried to wiggle her second fore-leg free but failed. Not only was she laying on her leg it with all her own weight, but the thing on her seemed also to lay on it too, with a small part at least. She tried anything to wiggle any leg or even wing free, her hind-legs were pinned for good, but finally after a few seconds she got her metal wing free, and together with her left leg she again tried to push the object of from her. It moved, if only a little bit, it was enough for Rainbow to maneuver just a bit more and finally get her second fore-leg free and pushed with all her might. From the sound of it when the object fell down it was metal, the dust it threw around was blocking any view on her surroundings. Rainbow used her wings, or rather her metal wing to fan away the dust. The object was a car... and as she realized her right wing didn't wanted to move, she looked herself over, it was bend several ways, which implying it was broken. She then looked over the rest of her body.  The combat armor was bend, had armored plates missing, there even was one armor plate stuck sideways in another one on her right side. She got out of the armor and looked her body over. A few cuts and bruises here and there... what made her gulp was the big blue nearly black spot on her right side, over her ribs. From what knowledge she had, she could tell there were a couple broken ones, thanks Luna and Celestia her body didn't fully caught up yet. As she finally looked at her surroundings in detail, she found herself in a building... it seemed like the car slammed her through the wall, that would explain her back pain.  As she saw the hole she made she spotted the outside, she slowly walked closer to the hole and her mouth opened wider with every step she took. Everything was just... dead, trees had no leaves and where rotten, skeletons littered the street, big dark clouds covered the entire sky as far as she looked. There was nothing green, not even green grass, nothing. Everything was dead or had far darker colors then before. Her staring got interrupted as finally her body caught up and heavy pain ran through her wing and ribs. She ran back to the armor she threw off and looked for her bag, it laid under some concrete parts, she grabbed them and lifted them off from the bag. When she looked through it, only her armor from the first great war and the dog tags she collected where in it. She looked around the building and spotted a dirty, old magical bandage on the ground and grabbed it. "*Sigh* Better than nothing." She thought, she then grabbed her wing carefully and moved it into the right position, then bound the bandage around it. She then walked back to the bag and grabbed her armor from the first great war out of it. She looked at the old armor for a few seconds, everything she went through with this thing... and here it is still ready to get more, never giving in... same as herself. She then got into the armor, the familiar feeling of metal on her body and her head, plus the smell in her nose made her smile a bit. She then again looked out the hole in the wall, before she walked out, she finally noticed the blinking warning icons on the HUD in her right eye.

"Attention: Energy level low. Attention: Critical Starvation. Attention: Critical Dehydration. Attention: Severe Limp and Organ damage. Attention: Nanites inactive. Attention: Radioactive levels Deadly" She read and pondered on what to do now. She looked on her map, everything was grayish colored, the exception was the building she's in. The marker read: Destroyed house, and was not too far away from Les Manes. She looked around the building one last time, nothing to eat or drink in sight. So she once again grabbed her bag. swung it around her neck and under her left leg, and move her wing through the gap, and finally the bag was secure on her side. She didn't know which cities all got hit directly by balefire missiles, but she had to take her chances, if she wanted to survive. So with nothing to lose she made her way to Roan, for she knew Les Manes was fucked. On her way there was a constant pain everywhere, but she had to push on. Her only chance was to get to the city and get supplies.
