Fallout Equestria: Sniper's Legacy

Hours later we had stopped crying and woke up from a small nap. Homage was cooking something and I had to go to the bathroom. Once I finished I went to Homage and sniffed the air. "mmmm, please tell me what you are cooking."

"If I told you there would be no fun in hearing you guess." answer Homage smiling.

"Awww come on." I said looking at her shaking her head, "Okay, is it radigator meat?"

"You are funny, but yes it is. It's something I don't normally eat. Actually was something I ate when I traveled outside Tenpony." said Homage as she was just about done cooking and was floating over some plates.

"I remember my dad cooking it and it was great." I said smiling as Homage place a piece of meat on the plates and gave me one of them. I started eating happily while Homage giggled a bit as she also started to eat.

"Well you get to taste my cooking, though it isn't that good. I was never a cook." said Homage

"What do you mean? This tastes better than my dad's cooking." I said matter-of-fact, as I ate the dish with extreme slowly to savor it.

"Well I'm glad you like it. Your the second pony to ever say that to me." Homage smiled at me as she ate.

"Who was the first?" I asked but then Homage became sad at my question. "Oh...um. I didn't mean to ask the wrong question..."

"No. It's alright, just the past coming to me again. The first pony to ever say they loved my cooking was my marefriend, Jokeblue" answered Homage.

"Oh well where is Jokeblue? No nevermind don't answer that it's not my business nor do I wish to pry...sorry." I said as I finished the radigator meat.

"No, I'll answer it, I don't mind. She was killed while we were traveling. She saved my life." answered Homage as a tear fell from those eye's of a pony who still loves and misses the ones they care so much about. It was also the tear that fell; within it you can see the memory of what could or would have happened, or what did happen, like you were there to see it and I looked away saddened myself at the fact of my loss. When Homage saw my look she hold me close and whispered, "It's okay. They are in a better place. They are with the Goddesses and watching over you."

"Okay. Your right. Thanks for the late dinner. I should get some rest." I said as I got up and headed to the elevator but before I could hit the button, Homage stopped me.

"Sleep here, please." Homage said, "You can sleep in my bed if you wish."

"Thank you so much, and I'll just sleep on your couch." I said as I hugged you and walked to the couch placing my stuff beside it and curling up on it. Homage smiled and went to her bed. I closed my eyes and began to dream...

...I woke up, or at least I thought I woke up, but looking around I knew I must still be sleeping because around me was nothing but wasteland. The grey sky's, the cloud cover, as it started to thunder. I looked around me and then there was a single pony beside me, but he looked odd. He wore a purple suit with a yellow flower on his left side below his pocket and his mane and tail were light green and looked sopping wet as it covered his face a bit. He had a mask or was it white paint on his face? I couldn't tell besides the fact he looked like a dressed up clown. He held a few joker cards from many boxes of cards and on his flank was a joker cutie mark. His smile looked mixed between crazy, happy, and mysterious.

"Hello there, what is your name kid?" the pony asked me as I stepped a few steps away from him.

"I...I'm Sinon. Who are you and what do you want?" I asked a bit scared at the sight of him.

"Oooo, I would answer that but it wouldn't be much fun at all. You see, what I want is to see what you can do. Maybe you can do a few tasks for me. Shouldn't be to hard, though if you don't do it..." he took in a nice deep breath and licked his lips, "You really don't have a choice really. You just have to do it."

"No. Who are you? What do you want from me?" I asked a bit unhappy as I frowned.

"Hmm." He licked his lips again, "I'm a mystery, you see. I don't know anything of who I was or who I am," and started laughing hysterically before continuing, "And what I want from you will come to you as you travel."

"Your not even real, why am I talking to some weird clown" I said glaring at him.

"Why so serious? Hm? I am very much real. I have friends that know a few tricks to get me here. But right now it seems my time is up, but we will meet again. I'll be sending some one very interesting your way. I wonder if you can outsmart him" He said as he laughed and slowly disappeared leaving me to this dreamscape...

...That was the first time I encountered the him. He calls himself the Joker and for good scary reasons. Somepony once told me "You need to know yourself, to know others", well...he truly doesn't know himself which makes him scary. I have never faced such a scary character in my life than him. I'm just glad he died 6 years ago after I killed him. Or...so I hope...But anyways the next morning...

...Slowly waking up I was greeted by homage's soft and kind words, "Morning sleepy head, you slept an hour in."

"Aww I missed your news...oh well, morning." I said getting up stretching. Then walked over to her,"What's for breakfast?"

"Scrabbled eggs and juice."

We walked over to her kitchen she had, it was small but big enough to fit a group of five, and I sat down as she floated over two plates and cups of juice over and onto the table and I started eating. The eggs were sweet, and I love things that taste sweet, and the juice of orange juice, which is a bit bitter but still okay. As I ate, I kept thinking about that dream I had and either I should tell homage or not. Before I could choose she snapped me out of it by messing my mane up.

"You okay? You seem to have something on your mind." Homage asked a little worried

"Yes, I'm fine. Just a weird dream is all." I answered with a smile.

"Are you sure? That it was just a dream I mean." she asked still worried

"Ya. I promise that I'm fine. But I have to go today."

"I can't force you to stay. Go where your heart tells you. Just please be safe." she said

"I will, cause I have the best eyes watching my back." I said smiling as she nuzzled me happily, "Besides I have a way we can communicate. Just will take time to make it"

"What is it and how?" in a curious kind of tone as she looked at me. I slowly took out Dragons Eye and showed her. "What is that?"

"I don't know much about it, but I called it Dragons Eye. Put it on and you will know why," I answered her as she hesitantly put it on her ear.

"What do I do now?" she asked and I told her there was a button on the ear piece she had to hit. When she hit it the eye piece or lens went over her right eye and her eyes widened in surprise. "This is amazing," she said as she looked at me, "It even has thermal vision, a EFS to."

I giggled at her amazement in it as she looked around and at herself. "It has SATS to I believe, I just haven't used it yet, but when I had it on myself, there was a call option of some sort. I can make something like this but it will take a few days and materials to do so. Then we can figure out what this call is."

"Well this is amazing, and I'm sure you can make another." she said taking it off and handing it to me, "I'll just have to wait though, anyways you have a point. I do have eyes on you, just know where to communicate. So till you make this or something of this nature I will be little to no help to you."

"That's okay. I'm only going to a few places that shouldn't be to dangerous, but I won't keep my hopes up though. I'll be back in a few days with or without injury depending on how I do my plans." I said thoughtfully

"Sounds like a plan, but I worry for you still." she said hugging me, "But I know your a big girl and you can care for yourself."

"I'm not a foal anymore. Stop it." I said smiling up at her hugging back before I went and grabbed my bags and stuff and headed for the elevator.

...As I walked outside of Tenpony into the rain, I walked to any random place for now till I meet that clown again. And who would that friend of his be? He said I didn't have a choice but to do what he said. Would he kill me if I didn't do what he wants? Torture me? I needed answers and I wasn't getting any where. I just walked around the wastes finding anyone who would need help or some pony I can join with in an adventure. Looking off into the distance feeling some ponies eye's on me I could make out a silhouette up on a hill seeming to watch me curious. I wanted to see who it was but when I blinked it had disappeared.

I hope that wasn't the clown or his friend playing jokes with me. I really didn't wanna deal with them right now. So I kept walking not thinking about what I had seen; hours later I came upon a small town seeming to be made out of train boxcars called Appleloosa no make that New Appleloosa. I found it fascinating that they were able to build a town with such things and even have a crane to pick up the boxcars. The boxcars themselves looked like they weighted several thousand pounds. And the town looked plain, no color besides rust, dust, and two century year old paint jobs. I did however find the towns store called Absolutely Everything. Home to the famous ghoul delivery pony, Ditzy Doo. I walked inside and looked around for a moment before I was greeted by the ghoul herself.

'Hello, what you wish to buy?' She had written on one of a few chalk boards around her neck. I simply told her I wish to have three clips of five mm ammo, some water, and food. Looking at me for a minute, thoughtfully, she walked away and looked at the shelves and grabbed a small box of five mm clips bringing it to me then walked over and grabbed three bottles of purified water and four apples and placed them beside me. She had erased her chalk board and wrote '64 caps please' But I simply gave her 80 for it all, which was worth it for the priceless smile she gave me. I gave her a hug and told her that she is one of the most amazing ponies ever.

It's true, she was an amazing pony. She is over two hundred and fifteen years old and still has her kindness and sanity. I once asked her what keeps her well her and she had answered by tell me that it was who is was before and will always be. She told me she wished things would have changed in the past but doesn't blame them for there mistakes. What kept her going was the fact that there would be a better tomorrow in place of the hell of today. If so then that is definitely something worth fighting for. Life is like a book, you can judge it's cover but within is where the story begins. Prologue with the beginning of Equestria, rising action with the war. Then climax when the bombs fell before falling action of the land dying. We will never reach the epilogue but once Equestria is healed to as normal as it will ever be then we will have returned to a normal prologue state.

Life is a game of chance full of emotions that are not real. Emotions are just a creation for our minds so that we wouldn't just be plain but full of life. My life is being part of chance with that clown from my dream. I look back to reality and grab my things I have bought and placed them in my bag. When I got up to leave, Ditzy stopped me and wrote on her chalk board 'take care be safe'.

"I promise. After all I plan to see you again. Don't worry."

She nodded and went to her counter putting the caps away as I left. I wished I had a map. It would be really helpful of where I wished to go next. I then decided to head to Old Appleloosa, a place now of ruins do to the past. I don't know the place very well, but I know that there is a big barn there with a stage. I know this because there used to be ponies who lived there a few years back and then moved to the New Apple. They told the folks there about the old town. I only cared for the barn and how there used to be performances. Walking there and looking at the place was as little of a surprise by it's look as a camp filled with raiders. The place looked dead as ever but I walked into the town.

There were homes there that looked to rotted to be standing but seemed to hold their own, their windows like Equestria, long been broken. The ground itself looked deformed in places. A ghost town of what was and is now nothing. Even the large barn itself looked broken but stood full of glory. Earth ponies sure knew what they were doing when they build ever standing buildings; but I started to get the uneasy feeling as if someone was watching me. Fear started to creep in as my mane started standing on edge. Looking around the town in every open window and open door, I was expecting something, anything to jump out at me and kill me. I thought I heard a growl of a wolf coming from one of the buildings. I activated Dragons Eye and looked around the town and saw nothing but blue. No heat signatures anywhere until I turned around and looked towards the barn. I saw one pony inside.

I hesitantly opened the door and was greeted by the lights turning on bright and a cheerful stallion voice announcing "Welcome little one. I wish for you to play a game." before something hit me and I passed out seconds later before I could see who it was and what did that to me...
