Hello, I'm Sinon. I am a 17 year old unicorn and I have no parents. They were murdered while we were walking on a road by raiders, when I was 9. The raiders chained me and sold me to slavers for caps. I had escaped and ran as far away as I could...

...When I had stopped running, I happened to find an ancient research facility, and walked inside, for reasons of shelter and in need of food, water, a weapon and things to sell. I looked around and found some bags hidden and started making custom made saddlebags. When I finished, I started looting what was worth caps, but all I found was chems, two medical bandages, one potion, radiated water and five .50 caliber rounds.

I found a door to a basement level, which I decided to go down. There were only two rooms. The first one I went to had a terminal, a desk, and filing cabinets. What caught my eye first was a file on the desk. As I walked over to it, I saw the word "Prototype". Floating it up and opening it, I began to read some of the information:

Prototype: Sniper Rifle

Name: PGM Hecate II

Materials: Unknown metal, and zebra talisman

Ammo type: .50 Caliber Rounds

Affects: On contact, the shots might explode (90% of the time)

Talisman engraved in the butt of the gun make's it's weight zero

I looked around for the gun, but found nothing. So I looked in the desk and found seven .50 caliber rounds. Walking over to the terminal, after taking the rounds, I skimmed through it finding notes on the weapon, but nothing of importance. After leaving the room, I walked to the second room finding a lab table, a big one actually, and there was glass everywhere on the ground. The ground was covered with glass and unknown liquids. In the far corner of the room was a big case of some sort, along with a device. I walked over to the device first and picked it up.

On it was a lens that would go over your right eye. There was also a curved piece with a button that goes around the ear. I thought it looks like something on a cover for use of undercover spy wear. I put it on and hit the button on the curve part and the lens did what I thought, and went over my right eye and everything on the screen was blue. I put my hoof in front of it and it was red. This device has a thermal visor, but looks like it also has what pipbuck's have, an EFS and SATS. I decided to call it Dragon's Eye.

Turning to the big case, floating it up and laid it down in front of me; I tried to open it, but it was locked by a numbered padlock. My guess is a four number code but I didn't see the code anywhere except...looking on the floor where the case had been, and sure enough, there was a set of numbers. They were engraved into the ground, as if scratched in; I believed that they were the code for the case.

( 6 6 2 1 )

After putting in the code, the case unlocked with a silent hiss. When I opened it, I saw a weapon that was for long range firing. A sniper rifle the length of a full grown dragon's claw. Looking at the butt of it, I saw the talisman. Then just looking at the gun, I saw the same code on the gun, the same code that was to open the case, and the same numbers that were in some of the notes from the terminal that I thought was useless. What's so important about these numbers? There is also a word engraved on the body of the gun:

Ristvak'baen

Which, according to the notes, means a place of sorrow; I thought it is weird. Looking in the case again, I found a combat knife. As I was about to put them back in the case and in my saddlebags, I heard a loud noise. Hitting the button on Dragon's Eye and turned around looking to find raiders everywhere above me and some coming down the stairs. Putting the case in my bags, after putting just the sniper in the case, I went against the wall near the door, waiting for one to come in as I held the combat knife in my mouth by the grip. I don't like using my horn much but seems with the sniper rifle I'm going to have to use magic to levitate it and pull the trigger. One went into the other room, while the other two walked to my room guns ready.

As the first walked in, I stabbed him in the chest. Before the other could act, I turned and bucked him in the face. The raider that still the knife in him fired at the ground with his UZI, causing the raiders upstairs and in the other room to come this way. I grabbed the UZI from the raider and aimed it at the one I bucked and fired ten shots killing him. Then aimed at the other doorway as the third raider came into view and fired at me, I used the body of dead raider, with my knife still in him, to block the shots. I floated my gun around the body shield and fired till the clip was empty. The raider fell with a meaty thump, as did my shield, as I took out my knife. I had about two minute's tops to loot from the bodies. When I did so, I found thirty-six bottle caps and two clips of five mm ammo. Taking out the old clip and putting a fresh one in my UZI, looking around, I counted about twenty raiders with in this facility.

Slowly walking up the stairs, I was greeted by a swarm of bullets. Ducking down, I floated out my gun, scanning, and locked on to the raiders down the hall with SATS, and fired five shots. One missed, the others hit their targets, killing them. So that means eighteen left; after taking the ammo from the body's, I continued on; walking up the hall too crossroads, a right and a left. The right side had boxes for cover, the left had nothing. Scanning the left, there was one raider; to my right were two raiders.

I could hear them say, "It's just a kid, kill the little fucker." The one on the left ran out and fired from his shotgun making me have to move out the way. But I wasn't fast enough, the pellets hit my leg making me yell in pain, but I turned my gun at him and fired, emptying the clip into him. Now all the raiders were coming this way, as I reloaded, I took the raiders' shotgun and any shells he had; five shells in total, which is bad. Within seconds, the last seventeen raiders were around the corners ready to fire. I have a clip of five mm to my UZI, and five shells to the shotgun. That's twenty shots left, not counting my sniper rifle. I got back up and floated all the dead bodies, I killed seconds before, over to the end of this hall making a barricade and sitting behind it.

My Dragon's Eye was flashing a medical warning for my leg. I ignored it and peeked over my barricade but they fired at me, making me hide. When the shooting stopped, I got up and fired the shotgun to my left and UZI to my right, to empty. Floating my UZI over and dropping the shotgun, I looked and saw I had killed four of them. Then a grenade was flung in with me, but I didn't let it land on the floor, I sent it back as they yelled and it exploded.

I then looked out from behind cover and saw, to my right, the boxes that served as the raiders cover was destroyed. To my left, I scanned and saw the raiders were dead. About three more killed making it ten more left. I ran out of cover and to the left side of the hall around the corner, with my hurt leg, and picked up their guns; an assault rifle, another shotgun, and a grenade. Standing against the wall and looking down the hall to where the last of the raiders are, I pulled the pin of the grenade and threw it at them, as they were trying to get up from being stunned. But before they could, the grenade thumped against the wall and onto the floor near two of them as it exploded killing them and injuring an other.

Running down the hall, as fast as my injured leg could go; I drew the shotgun and assault rifle and fired at the injured raider and the others. As the shotgun clicked on empty, I looted another three shells as fast as I could and loaded it and fired them as the assault rifle drew empty. As I stopped, I turned and looked at what I managed to kill and found that there were still two raiders left. Before I could scan, one of them fired a shot into my backside and legs causing me to scream loud and fall on my side. I moved towards the wall and leaned against it, as the last two raiders came out of hiding from around the corner and aimed their guns at me. Time seemed to slow, as fear swallowed me but I didn't give up. I looked and scanned there bodies finding not one but three grenades and pulled the pins as I showed them to the raiders.

They looked at the pins and then they tried to get rid of the grenades but was to slow as they exploded sending meaty chunks of flesh meat and bone everywhere and sent me flying down the hall and crashed in a bloody heap slowly falling into darkness from the blood that slowly ran out of my wounds and from a concussion...

Author's Note

I plan to edit and revise this in the future so what you see here is not the complete final. I'm doing this without help from editors or my closest friends so this is not as easy as it seems to be and could take alot more time. But I expect this to be done in 6 or so months time as I also continue writing my main Fallout Equestria story Experiment XXXHell. But once this is done I have one more short story before I continue typing up and publishing Experiment XXXHell. P.S. in my own definition of OC is own creation.
