Fallout Equestria: Sniper's Legacy

...I groaned as I came to. I thought I died from the wounds I had, but I felt...oddly healed. "Nnnn..." I groaned as I quickly sat upright to look around.

"Easy there, kiddo," said an old looking stallion that hesitantly touched my shoulder for support, "Your wounds were serious, lost alot of blood. Lucky for you I heard the gun shot's and came here."

"W-who are you? What is that thing?" I asked pointed to the two headed cow thing beside him.

"That is my Brahmin, named her ink, and I'm Spark. I'm a merchant." answered Spark "May I ask you for your name?"

"I'm Sinon...thanks for helping me...I don't ha-" I said

"No need to pay little one. I didn't use much anyways. Besides I find alot of stuff alone my routes." said Spark getting up and grabbing a bottle of water from his wears and giving it to me. "Go ahead and drink."

"Thank you..." I said as I drank the bottle dry. Then I took a better look at the merchant. He had a fur cap on his head and was wearing an old, slightly ripped, dusty suit. He also wore I'm guessing hikers boots. His build was not that of an old stallion but one who is turning old. He had a few wrinkles her and there on his face and one broken tooth.

I slowly turned around and looked inside my bags and pulled out what caps I had as well as radiated water and turned to him asking if I can sell the water and buy something from him. He had a kind smile as he said he will pay me 4 caps for the water then told me what he had. I bought two water bottles that were not full of radiation, one potion, and surprisingly five more .50 caliber rounds for my sniper rifle and it all costed about 38 caps. He said it was a child discount and, from what I did within the facility, a protectors discount for protecting him unintentionally. I asked him if he had some 5mm clips and he said he will give me his two clips that he had for free.

We talked about areas around this place where there is safety till I'm ready to travel again. I told him that i hope I see him again, that he is my friend for being this generous to me, and he gave me a friendly hug and smile and he waved me goodbye. I headed to one of the places that Spark had said, Tenpony Tower. I wished I had a map besides direction but I can't complain. I headed in the general direction of Tenpony carefully...

...It felt like hours but I came upon the extremely tall tower with its heavily defending wall. I wondered what it had looked like before the bombs and war happened, but it would only be a dream. I walked closer to the wall hoping there was a way in and that I'm not on the wrong part of it. I was greeted by a stallion wearing a security barding and a metal helmet.

"What business do you have here little filly?" asked the stallion from behind the wall.

"I need a place to stay. Please. I'll pay you when I get enough caps, I promise." I said. I heard the stallion turn to talk to a mare and listened closely as they talked.

"She is just a child, let her in for free. She doesn't seem dangerous" said the mare

"What they seem is different from what they might actually be. She could secretly attack us when we let her in." challenged the stallion.

"Not when we have lots of guns pointed at her head, besides look she has been injured from who knows what. Let her in." said the mare

"Alright, alright." said the stallion as he turned to me, "You may come in for free, but leave any weapons you have."

"I...I can't do that, but I can give you the ammo I have...and knife to." I said trying diplomacy, and by his look it worked.

"Fine; open the gate for the little filly." said the stallion as he turned back to a small room near the gate. And the gate slowly opened and I walked inside. Turning to the mare, I floated out all my ammo and the knife and gave it to her. The mare smiled at me and put the stuff in a crate and walked with me inside the tower.

As I walked it, the place looked amazing and so alive. Now living in a wasteland you expect nothing to be alive, but this place was different. They all looked happy, clean, and kind. They seem to be separated by what they wear because they looked at me with mixed looks. They wouldn't expect a little filly, like me, to be wearing slave rags and an eye piece with a little window. They would be thinking that I am spying on them or something. But it was not important to them as they kept walking and doing what they wanted. I looked at the many floors at the many stores; there were so many different stores; from the spa's, to food stores, to weapons, to armor. This place seems to have everything.

"I can get you a place to stay in the suites if you'd like." asked the mare.

"Please. I only have 2 caps. I was hoping to work to get more or go around equestria." I said

"It's dangerous out there. I'm sure there is a few ponies who can help you. I know one pony that will. His name is DJ Pon3. He lives in the top part of the tower." said the mare

"Thank you so much miss." I said

"Your welcome, lets get you a room before I go back to my post." said the mare as we walked to an elevator in the center of the tower that must also lead to the top of the tower; where the supposed DJ Pon3 is. As we got into the elevator there was a classic tune playing and it was moving me in ways I can't explain; kind of like a sad tone with a slight mix of happiness as well.

When we reached the suite, there was a red velvet carpet that looked somewhat average condition as well as the walls, which looked clean. I saw little to no dust in the suites as we walked to a specific room. When the mare guard opened it, I was welcomed by a big bed, a nice fridge, a beautiful view of the land. There was a bathroom that actually had pluming.

"I'll pay for this room. I'm afraid I can only pay for a two night stay." said the mare

"That's fine, thank you miss." I said with a smile as I put my stuff down.

"I'll leave you be, have a great day." said the mare as she walked back to the elevator. Once the mare was gone, I got undressed and went into the bathroom to shower. I felt...dirty and hurting a little from what has happened in my life. I missed my mom and dad...I slumped against the wall of the shower and sobbed...

I had spent an hour sobbing in the shower, but I finally finished and got dressed and laid down. What is my next step? Where do I go? Who do I talk to? Then one name hit me, DJ. But I don't know if I can go up to that level of the tower. I decided to go anyways heading to the elevator and hit the top floor button. It slowly went up as I looked at my hooves thinking. No! Stop thinking right now. I don't need to cry or weep again. Better yet in front of the DJ himself. I have to be strong.

When the elevator finally stopped and opened, I was greeted by a big room with two doors. In the room there was tapestry and carpets that looked old but so did the room. It looked like it was used a lot. Slowly walking into the room I decided to sit down and wait. But I didn't have to wait long. I looked over at a door that was to my right and saw a steel grey coated mare, with a blue mane walking out. Her cutie mark looked like a speaker of some sort. When she looked at me she was a bit surprised to see a filly like me in the room. She walked over and asked me in a kind and beautiful voice:

"What do you need little one?" asked the grey mare.

"I...I need to talk to DJ Pon3...I...I don't know what to do. I was hoping he could help me." I answer with a sad smile as I looked at her.

"Oh um...I'm his assistant. I'm sure I can help you out. So what specifically do you want to do?" asked the grey mare.

"I...I want to find a way where I can help Equestria...I can't stand the raiders and the slavers...I...I miss my mother and father..." I said as I trembled a little looking at my hooves.

"Shhhh little one, it's alright." said the grey mare."I'll be glad to help you. Maybe you will help me in return as well. I don't want to see children suffer when they aren't deserving of it. And even still they should not suffer."

I was able to stop trembling and prevent myself from crying again as I looked at her and said "Okay...thank you."

"Your very welcome. My names Homage, what's yours?" asked Homage

"I'm Sinon...nice to meet you." I answered then looked around "Nice place you got here."

"Thanks. Anyways come with me I'm sure the DJ wouldn't mind if you see this." said Homage as she got up and walked over to the room on the right; the room where she came out of. I got up and followed her to the door as she opened it and walked inside. I walked in behind her and my eyes widened when I saw a wall full of computer screens and controls. There must be at least a hundred screens on the wall. Walking to the screens, I can see everywhere it seemed which is amazing. I looked around the room to the other walls and found some sort of radio, and equipment to broadcast as well.

"This is where DJ finds all the information he talks about. He looks at the screens and listens in to the radio for his friends to give him news. Then he uses the broadcasting equipment, connecting it to every radio he can and broadcasts the news he gets." said Homage smiling and abit amused by my looks.

"This is amazing. I...I can't believe this is here" I said as she sighed. I looked over at her and saw she was said. "What's wrong?"

"I...I can't lie to a child...Sinon, can you keep a secret?" she asked me, looking into my eyes. I didn't know why or what she wanted to be kept secret but I nodded. "Well, Sinon. I'm...not really DJ Pon3's assistant. I am the DJ."

"W-what? Your the DJ? I...I guess is kind of makes sense...your cutie mark I mean." I said, a little taken aback.

She looked at her cutie mark and chuckled. "I guess so, but I am keeping my word when I say I will help you. I am the voice after all. I try to give updated news to everyone when I can."

"Thank you and I'm sure your doing a great job Homage." I said smiling at her.

"So let's see what you can do." she said as she looked up at the screens. "Would it be okay if you can get rid of some raiders for me? It's preventing trade from some places."

"Um...sure, I can try. I'll do it as soon as possible." I said

"I suggest resting. Its best to be of good health before the journey." said Homage.

I nodded and got up and walked back out the room into the big um...atrium and towards the elevator until I was stopped by homage. "And Sinon, never give up, fight the good fight" she had said to me and I nodded back smiling as I walked into the elevator and hit the button for the suites.

I'd say today has been horrible. But I'm happy to already have some friends. And the DJ thing, it's is a lot to take in. I remember my mother and father had always listened in on the radio. They had it loud, so I can hear it but not to loud so that we can be captured or attacked. But still, it's a lot to take in. I always thought the DJ was a stallion not a mare, but hey I'm not gonna complain. Girl power! Hehehe.
