Fallout Equestria: Rat Paws in the sand.

" Some..try to find how to fix the insane minded. But those that do. Never understand they are crazy themselves why it's harder to do so."

It was early morning there have been rumors of unicorn's suddenly just vanishing from places and many areas getting attacked. The security has been doubled. It's gotten to the point that some old friends of Silver Gunner have shown back up after all these years. That Kip even knows. Cannon sighed. He knew that he was going to be leaving his family to a new war. But he had to finish his story to his granddaughter before everything was said and done. He was getting weaker but he could pace around. Looking outside the window seeing more guards and them making sure the young ones are fully protected.

He kept pacing while he noticed many Rat Creeper's from the Reaper Fields. Along with Junk Reaper's and Dumbbell raider's, they rushed in. One of the guard Creepers. Walked up to him and looked to the others.

" We are taking you back Cannon. Reaper Field's going into lockdown. So please come with us CannonBall.." The king of them paced looking to them and then back to the Guards. This was new for them. He shook his head.

" No, go back to the Fields if you move me to much I could die. The only reason I am not dead now from moving like this..Is because the sickness is not fully set in my body. So go lock down the fields keep the trade roads open. But make sure no one will harm the ponies here. If needed we need to keep trade going. We can't allow the trade to stop it will keep the former waste alive. Even so someday something will happen that might bring more pain." The Rat Creeper guards bow and then the other's follow them out. It's odd the alliance between the three in the fields has been stronger then most would think.

Sighing his grandaughter walked in and looked up.

" Grandfather...I am here for more of the story."

Cannon blinks and looked to her and he smiled. He sat down on the bed and thought a moment.

" Ah yes...well we fell asleep in the hospital."

_______________________________________
70 years ago.

We woke up the next morning at least I thought it was morning. But I placed my weapons back into the holder's I even found a little knife in one of the cases. It had a name. The Rat Slayer.I was like..wow really? A knife called the rat slayer uh-huh. I woke the others up and with no words pointed my claws up the stairs.

"Let’s go and get out of here." The others nodded and kept silent. They went upstairs and we opened the door looking into the next room. There just seemed to be calm music playing. Music playing after all this time? We slowly made it through the darkened area. Looking around and of course, we stuck together. The other's had their weapons ready as well. I went along as they followed me going through some rooms to make sure everything was going smoothly. But we did find alot of item's around. We found Rad-away Rad-x and many other chem’s. I placed them in my bags. Even though my species didn't get affected much by the rads in this world. But if we stayed near it for too long..We turned into some nasty things..or got sick. But it took longer, Looking around calmly to see what else we could find. Looking at my friends putting a claw to my mouth to tell them to stay silent.

We went to another room seeing bodies. But my tail hit something and made a loud sound. The eyes of the bodies opened up and just stared at us. Soft steps gulped and tried speaking to them.

" I um...your asleep yes you’re asleep!! Go...to sleep...go to sleep close those little eyes!!" The brainless ghouls looked at each other and then back at us. Then lie their heads back down and seemed to just die again. That was strange I never understood why some ghouls or zombie ponies avoided us. But some attacked us it got to the point that it concerned me..But I didn't wish them to suddenly get smarts in their dead brain's and grabbed the knife slicing off their heads and stared at them.

" We can't allow them to call others. We need to get out of here as quickly as we can." The other nodded to me and Pothead. Heh, I called her that alot now.

" Come weaker in the middle. Those ready to fight for their lives right beside me." I didn't wish to tell them I was scared to death. I didn't want them to know this either. It's many things to be brave and happy that we can't just become empty. I wanted to get out of here as quickly as we can. Find us a new home and new land. But it wouldn't be easy. We are in a deadly city. In a hospital meant for the crazy. I also knew some of the ponies are still alive in here with brains and crazy. Looking around calmly. We entered a room and then a screen popped up. A pony spoke.

" Welcome..to Hope Hospital. We welcome the mentally insane and broken here. To clean their minds and to heal them. Sadly the full broken minds would sometime be needed to be removed. The brain would be placed into a new body and then..It would be programmed with no memories of what happened before." It even showed how this worked. I just stared and thought to myself. ' Seriously? These ponies are crazy.'

The tv turned off and I looked at the other's. My eyes stared at them as the others seemed to be crazy. I sighed shaking my head and we head out and I didn't want to see any more pony craziness. Of course knowing that we are a new creature's of this wasteland. We would see the pain this war of the past caused. I looked at Pothead.

" Come with me Potty." She stared at me with an angry look and I looked back to the others. " Stay here..We are going to see what else we can find then we will find a way out. Hopefully we can find a way out." The others nodded and they all backed up into the rooms. I shook my head and then looked to Pothead. " Come."

She nodded and we looked through the lower floor. We had no idea how to get out of here. It's going to be interesting if we ever found out how to get out of here. Looking towards the window's I saw all the rain coming down and I sighed softly. It's getting to the point that I hate the upper lands. It's getting to the point I want to go back to the sewers. The two of us went through many of the room's Then one of the room's had brain's in Jar's I blinked looking at them.

" I....wow.," Pothead exclaimed her eyes wide. As the brains just seem to float in the fluids. I stared calmly at the brain's and with my knife and tapped on them and then I turned around seeing ponytron's and blinked.

" DIe ZE BZZZZT" Pothead just fired as I tossed my knife into the brain and both fell since we didn't wait for them to speak their words and we looked to each other.

" Shall we care about what they wish to do to us?" I said with a smirk. Pot laughed and more jumped down from above us and I just sighed firing at them along with Pothead. This was going to be a crazy day. How come I felt that staying alive was so boring and dull? After we took out the ponytron's. Looking towards Pothead and she took apart the robot's taking whatever still worked. I grabbed my knife from the brain. Then we went on. The lower parts of this hospital seemed so big. Then something hanging above us came smashing down and hit Pot head right in the head. As she was knocked the cleanout. I blinked and looked around my eye's looking around more. As more dropped down and I started at the strange objects. Then heard a growl looking up seeing a large lizard-like being. The creature seemed, to be mutated from something else. I pointed behind him.

" Hey hey...what’s that?!" The creature suddenly turned and went.

" Huh?" I grabbed Pothead and lifted her up and rushed back to the other room. Then I heard a growling " HEY!!" Then the creature chased after me. He jumped up and got in front of me and spoke again. " You didn't need to run from me!!" He hissed and then I set down Pothead and grabbed my knife getting ready to fight him. " Whoa whoa whoa hey hey...I don't want to fight you..." I blinked.

" Then...why are you in here?! We are trying to find a way out." The lizard creature tried to speak he then thought a moment then thought more.

" I don't know...how I got in here..I have been in here...since the end?" He just gave a shrug and then looked to Pothead who was knocked out cold. I sighed softly.

" Listen to creature..or whatever you are.." I sighed oh I was on a roll, wasn't I? " Okay look we are on the run Lizard...whatever can I call you scale's?" The creature just gave one nod. I then went down to Pothead and got her to wake up and she groaned rubbing her head.

" Ow...what hit me..." I gave a smirk. " The roof now come on let’s keep going. Also, come with us Scales. We need to try to find a way out." The lizard creature nodded and had some sharp claws and followed us along. Since we kept looking through the bottom of the hospital. It was going to be hard to. Then again another thing happen. We went into a supplies room and turrets came down from the ceiling and looked at us. They hummed and looked around for the coming insane ponies that wished to invade. But they didn't see us. One did look at us with its scanner but just ignored us and turned back off.

" This is...crazy why don't they see us a threat? We are here like every other creature that wants to live." Of course, me being stupid. Yes, I was stupid. I touched one of the brain's and the turrets came back to life and aimed at us. " Good job whisker's." I lifted my gun and fired. As the alarm's going off and howls and roar's sounded through the entire hospital and dark evil laughing. Whatever was in here knew we are here now.

"Yes.... let’s go." We blew up the turret's and there were alot of sounds now. Whatever it was. I wanted to find us above. We would have to go through it but we stayed below and of course, my other friend's started running past us.

" Hey were.." I looked to see a large robot.

" DIE ZEBRA SCUM!!" I wanted to just get into a hole and hide. But I had to run. The rest of us running and scales followed along. As rockets flew in front of us smashing into the wall's but not blowing up. All of us hid into another room. It was an operating room. Of course, we locked the door. Then a computer turned on. I started to speak as well.

" Ah, we got a new experiment everyone!!" Computer's and whatever else in this room started to clap and cheer. Claws grabbed Pothead. She screamed as I tried to grab her but I couldn't the other's with me are too scared and much like rats to fight. Scales rushed to the computer to try to destroy it. But his claw's refused to go into the screen. Then another set of claws crap him and keep him at bay.

" Now now...you will have your turn." I blinked having no idea why these robots wanted to do this.

" Why are you doing this?!" I suddenly looked at a screen come up and speak.

" Well...allow me to explain call me..X0057. I'm the doctor in charge since..all ponies haven't been seen in many years. Now from what the doctor’s mind sees’s. Well, your friend's brain is not well enough. Don't worry..she will be fine. We will make her better." The screen gave a smile. " Now now she will be fine and better. We haven't seen ponies in 200 year's, Now we see rats? Now please..tell your friend to hold still."

I lifted my gun and tried firing at the arm that was holding Pothead. It sparked and suddenly charged and then started to do a strange dance with the claw's. I thought to myself ' Wow...ponies are crazy!!' Then the claw charged at me and Scales grabbed the claw and ripped it off. I even yelled at it.

" Why is everything ponies make so crazy?!" The computer's looked at us and one started thinking. Blinking a moment and sighed. Scales and I sneaked to get Pot head off the bed. But of course, the arms stopped me and I sighed. But of course, before anything could happen that large robot a sentry I think it was called. The robot spoke

" DIE ZEBRA SCUM!!" It lifted it's weapons and fired at us and we got out of the way quickly. As the weapons smash into the computers. As they all scream and suddenly the doctor that wanted to work on us was..dead I think he was dead. We were trapped and I finally saw a large hole in the wall behind the computer. I grabbed Lilly.

" Come on!!" The robot started firing at us as the rest of us ran into the hole to getaway. We ended up inside a storge room blinking looking around and then opened the door looking through. we are still in the basement. But in this room is alot of brain's Some not even in the cases. We looked around as Two steps just stood there as suddenly his head fell off his shoulders the rest of us just stared at that. As a ponytron with a large sword killed him. The rest of us couldn't do a thing.. I grabbed my knife and charged at the ponytron stabbing into the brain. After the ponytron discharged. I looked down to the dead body grabbing the sword and set the knife on the headless chest.

" Leave him." The others sadly nodded. Scales looked down at the body. I sighed softly one of my friends was dead. I knew that sooner or later we all would be dead maybe. This world back then was a deadly world. We left the room and got into a hall. Finally seeing stair's to get upstairs to get out of here. Rushing to the stair's Again that large robot broke through the wall.

" DIE!!" The robot said is started shooting at us as we rushed the other way. I noticed that Scales got hit by many of the bullets but the bounce off. Then I stood there with my weapons.

" Pothead make a hole in the wall!!" She nodded and with her sharp teeth started to eat into the wall to try to get inside the wall to get the other way out. I fired my gun at the robot some of them bouncing off but some making it into the robot. Sighing looking towards the wall as..'Cough cough cough."

Present

Cannon started coughing as Kip rushed in and helped him to his bed. She looked towards Snow paw.

"Let him get some rest Snow paw I will let you back in after school is over." She sighed and Kip closed the door and there is now an argument. Snow paw leaned into the door. She could hear them.

" You need to take care of yourself Cannon!!" Cannon didn't talk much.

"I can't she needs to 'Cough' KNow how we got here." Kip sighs. Snow paw slowly left the hospital as a raider pony rushed to her and she smiled. The raider is one of the newest ponies. The raiders tend to protect the town.

" Were to miss Snow paw?" The mare asked. Snow paw just looked down and sighed.

" School please." The mare nodded and brought out a large knife putting it into her teeth. The guard's now kept weapons ready just in case. Snow looked to her and softly spoke.

" Why are you dressed like that?" The mare stopped walking a moment setting the knife down and she smiled.

" I was a bad pony in the past...I am doing what I can to redeem my self..I know a raider has alot to answer for..But Bulwark was looking for guards to protect the young of this little town." She gives a gentle smile. " I know too many little princesses they wouldn't trust me..But I promised Bulwark with all my heart. That I will protect the future of this town. IN the spirit and Name of Tiria for what she did for the town here. She may have not saved the land. Like the Lightbringer along with the other hero's that did more for us. I am sure you can understand." Snow nods calmly as the mare lifts up her knife again. Leading the young Rat Creeper to the school. There is a few guards around the school with heavy gun's and they seem to be Griffin's former Griffin merc's.

The Griffin's looked down at the Rat Creeper. They aimed their gun's at the mare. One of them spoke.

" That's far enough Raider." Snow Paw looked up at the Griffin's who seemed to be from this town as well. Brought here from Shadow. Then the Griffin looked down at Snow paw her feature's softening and then back up at the former raider. " Sorry..habit...I keep forgetting." The raider nodded setting down her knife.

" Don't worry I do...as well..Old habits are hard. but" She was cut off as Fleur walked out of the School staring at them. Fleur was part of the school. She stared at the Griffins and the raider then looked down at Snow Paw. The Griffin's saluted the same with the mare.

Fleur laughed softly. " I am no pony important. I would be worried about Bulwark heard how you all are acting. Now let the Princess past. I need to get back to my inn." They nodded as the Raider helped Snow paw in The raider calmly leaned down to Snow paws and placed the knife down.

" There you go little one. I will see you again.." She pats her head and picks up her knife. As Deep Thought and Seeker stared at Snow paws she sat at her desk and alot of the young ponies, griffins, and Zebra's looked back at her.

" I see the Princes is here." Seeker smiled. " Now to the lesson." Seeker went to the chalkboard and placed the lesson.

" The star's" Some of the Zebra's looked up with fear in their eye's. " Now now relax. We will just explain them." She smiles at them. The Zebra's relaxed. There are just three two mare's and one male.

"Now the Star's to the Zebra's evil stories. But of course to most magic. Now the stars have been around so long. But the thing is almost never understood. I have seen it with my eye. How the future works." The Zebras get out of their chairs and started to bows her. As they say, seer. Seeker looks back to them. " Back in your chair's now." They rushed back in. She stared at all of them with a gentle smile.

" I am no Seer my friend's. I am just one that sees the lines." Then she stops speaking and looks towards the door. Crystal walks in Tiria's daughter.

" Seeker...It's time to leave." Seeker nods and looks to the children.

" Stay protected little one's something evil is coming. " She walks to the door. Deep thought leaves to. A new teacher walks in. She is a Rat Creeper.

" Forgive me children but Deep thought and Seeker will be gone for a while" The children started whispering to each other. Then soon after Class was over. " I will be your teacher for awhile children no homework." Snow Paw's left with the other children as they were all escorted by the Griffins. Snow Paw was escorted by the mare. Snow Paw Stopped watching Kip hug Crystal. She noticed Crystal was leaving.

Cree the son of Shadow and Owl beak. They hugged him tightly. Bear a vulf'van that showed up a year ago just stood there smoking. Kipper Kip and Crossfire's granddaughter. Kip hugged her along with her mother Uzzzy the mare was covered in thick fur. Seeker and Deep thought seemed to be going with them. Then one more Crosscheck. A family member of Kippers. They all calmly left. They seemed ready for some battle. But then she saw Silver Gunner opening the case. Giving Crystal Tiria's bag's her journey and her pistol the Red Dragon Zebra pistol. Crystal nodded placing it into her bags and they headed off. Cannonball was watching as well. The raider mare escorted Snow to Cannon and he looked down. Then up calmly.

" Look at her Snow..The daughter of the long-dead Tiria. Going on an adventure. There is something bad going on." He looks up seeing the turrets being worked on. Seeing the heavy weapons and some Applejack Ranger's who are from here guarding as well. Along with some pegasi in Enclave armor. They all flew above. It was like a heavily protected town. "We are on lockdown Snow. The trading is still going Reaper field’s is in lockdown." Snow looked at everything. As Cannon sighed closing his eyes.

" I knew this peace was too good to be..." He Gasped holding his chest coughing hard and falling on his knees. Coughing hard. As Kip trotted to him. Looked at him calling for help as some Griffin's lifted him up and carried him back into the cave. Snow paw frowned she had a worried look into her eye’s biting her lower lip a bit. She sat down on her haunches swishing her pink tail. She knew what was going on and looked up to the sky to see all the Enclave. It was just a few solderer’s. These are the ones that lived here and became part of the Enclave to protect their home.

One of them landed near Snow paw and she looked up to the black armor and gave a weak smile. The voice from the armor screamed.

“ Land solderer’s protect the young of this town. Protect the young with the guard’s and Griffins. Move!!” The flyer’s flew everywhere to land near children and the other guard’s. Their weapons primed and most of them started to patrol. It’s getting to the point that so many are worried. But the former Raider’s are working on their weapons and looking up at the enclave. One spoke aloud.

“ Hey did you hear? The unicorns vanish first and then others are killed. I heard the Pegasus are taken out first..if whoever is doing. This can get to them.” The Solder gave a nod not speaking back. “ Also I see you got into the enclave. I do hope they know you’re here.”

“Yes alot of them know that we came here. Since they wish us to be with our families. It’s why we are all here to protect the young of this little town. We must protect the future just in case.” The raider nodded and then the soldier started to patrol again. Ra.Proto and Silver Gunner calmly patrolled around the town. Some rangers did the same more like four. The three mares that Tiria made friend’s with 50 years ago are here as well. Their old but they haven’t retired yet. They kept their helms on and stayed near the gate. Their weapons are primed and ready to take on whatever would come. It’s getting to the point that many of the ponies study the new one’s that walk in. Bulwark and Tiny sat on top of the gate. They keep watching. Bulwark had heavy armor on Tiny did as well.

Snow paw calmly walked back into the cave and went to the inn to go to the bar. The former bar was turned into a home. Since the old owner felt it would do better with a bar added to it. She walked in and Fleur was fixing drinks and there are heavy-armed ponies in here. They all looked at Snow paw she looked around fear in her eyes. They all cocked their weapons and ponies stood up looking at Snow paw. The bouncer mare calmly picked up Snow paw and brought her to the stool. The ponies kept their weapons primed. Since a young one is in here. They are ready for anything. The bouncer was a ghoul. One of the crews that were on the ship so long ago. She gave a smile.

“ I know who you are here to see Princess.” The mare went back to the door and gave a nod to the ponies and other races. But the Zebra’s kept their weapons primed and one of them spoke in their exotic voice.

“ No offense to you. But id rather is ready to protect my home then allow anyone to harm the young.” The ponies and Griffins gave a nod. All the ponies and so on that lived here for so long have learned that the young..is what you protect here. The bouncer gave a nod and Fleur got out from behind the bar. The rat creeper looking up to the former high society mare and she wrapped her broken hooves around The little one and hugged. She softly spoke.

“I am sorry about your grandfather...I wish I could help.” She said with a gentle smile. The little rat creeper looked up to Fleur and nodded. Fleur looked up to the bartender.

“ Feather please get a glass of water for this little one. Now.” She walked to the stage and spoke in the mic. “ Ponies all races of our little town. There is a threat going on right now. But please relax the guards will call if they need you. If an anymore young walk in here please stand near them and protect them. Jonon.” One of the large Zebra mare’s who is another bouncer looks up. “ Stay near the Princess even when she goes back to her grandfather. Don’t let her leave your sight.”

The Zebra smiled bowing her head.

“ You honor me Fleur.” The large Zebra mare calmly stood near the little creeper and sat beside her watching her with her gentle green eyes. Snow calmly drank the water looking to the mare. She wore some strange barding. But it seemed to have alot of knife’s ready to take on anything. The little one had some fear in her eye’s. But the large mare stroked her head with a hoof.

“ Shhhh I am not going to hurt you little one. I am now your protector. I am honored to be.” She looked up hearing the Griffin commander gave orders to his solder’s

“ Now Griffins every young pony zebra and so on must be protected. Now get out there and protect them. Walk every road to make sure no little one is left unguarded. In the name of the Lightbringer, we must not allow our future to be ruined. Go now.” The commander leaves with the Griffins and they cheer in a squawk. Snow looked up to Jonon.

“ Um....when did you come to the town?” Jonon smiled gently.

“ I was found...by Star Shooter. A deadly island that had us trapped there for so long. She freed us and I came here with her. But that was 40 years ago.” Her ear’s droop. “ She has been in the hospital for so long. She got so sick and broken. It’s taking so long for her to heal. Whatever happened to her there. She can’t heal from potions and made her so weak. I was told by a doctor that came with us. That it will be along time before she ever walks again. At least she is now able to speak after what happened. We had to carry her here.” She looks over to the Griffin commander who was hearing this and frowning looking down.

“Maybe someday you will be told the story. But we blame ourselves and one of our friend’s refuses to be in the cave’s blaming herself. She is under heavy guard being a unicorn so we hope that she wouldn’t be harmed. But we hope that she is able to stand and fight with us. But something trapped her into her own brain. From what the doctor said’s. It’s like she is watching a lifetime of a memory orb. She is able to come out of it sometimes and then go back into the memory.” Sighed softly Jonon looked to the Griffin who was near them and nods calmly.

Snow looked up to the Griffin and he smiled. “ Greetings little one. I’m commander Black Feather. My troops and I met Star Shooter on that island. I gave her my troops. She did so much for that island to save the ponies and all races there. She saved us all there and made it so we can finally leave. But the cause of how we got to leave...and free the island..It’s sad.”

The Griffin sighed Jonon nodded and Snow calmly listened as she drank. A strange Mr handy robot floated in. A long robotic shy came from him as he floated to his friends.

“ Dr...” Said the commander. “ how is she?” The eye’s of the robot look to Dark Feather and Jonan.

“ No change. She is getting a little better. She at least remembers my name. But then fell back into the memory. But I am angry at the one who did this to her. But to bad their dead.” He hissed and steam came out of his shell and sighed. Then floats to the bartender.

“ I would like some oil and scotch.” Feather nodded and poured scotch and oil into a large glass. A port opened up and the robot drank like a normal living creature. A female salamander creature walked in. The creature looked pure red with red burning spikes along her back. Her eye’s glowed brightly as she walked to her friends. She hissed softly.

“ Dr...Slice...I came to ..this Goddess forsaken cave..Like you asked.” She was like a snake with her tongue slowly hissing out. “ Any change?” She looks up with fear in her eye’s. The robot turned around and sighed.

“ Some...Blaze...Skull Crusher refuses to come into this cave. He refuses to see her like that. He blames himself his troops are very worried about him. She has been this way since the final battle of the island. It’s how it was going to be. But none of us knew when she went in alone She forced herself to fight through the pain and forced herself into an orb of many memories all in one.” Suddenly Slice growled and tossed the glass and ripped up some of the stools and threw over the tables. Growling in anger and torching some of the empty tables.

Blaze blinked Jonon stood up quickly so did Feather. Dr. Slice spoke in anger.

“ She is laying there... I can’t do anything!!” Slices many of the tables Feather rushes to him and grabs him pulling him back Jonon held one of the arms with her mouth.

“ Slice..you can’t blame yourself.” The dr was making weak robotic sobs. Jonon blinks and removed her mouth from the arm and Feather blinked as well and he sighed giving the large robot a hug along with Jonon and blaze.

“ She...will come back to us...Slice..” Jonon said calmly. Blaze nodded and Dr. Slice just kept sobbing robotically and Feather slowly helped him outside and looked back.

“ I will have Skull Crusher talk to him.” Jonon smiled softly nodding and Jonon got some nasty looks from Fleur but then she sighed. As the bouncers pulled the tables out to get more. Then she walked to Jonon.

“ I know how it is...Jonon...I watched Tiria die...I was there...to watch her.” Jonon nodded she gave a smile as Fleur went back to cleaning up her inn and checking the caps. Snow was still drinking the water looking over to Jonon.

“Miss...jonon...I would like to go back to my grandfather soon. So are you ready to take me there yourself?” Jonon gave a nod as she placed some caps down even more caps for what slicer did. Snow calmly jumped off the stool and Jonon followed her along the cave’s and the zebra mare heard some argument outside the cave and she leads her to it and Slicer and Crusher were screaming at each other.

“ I told you Slice I can’t go face her like that. It’s so hard to do so.” Crusher said snorting a large amount of steam from his nose. Slicer’s anger was getting more steam came from his vents. Before a fight could break out Blaze got between them and stared at them with her fiery eyes. Skull Crusher stared at Blaze and then he sighed.

“ Fine...I will go see her” He looked to Slicer and gave a nod calmly walking off to go see Star Shooter. Blaze sighed and nodded to Jonon. The Zebra gave a smile nodding again. Leading Snow back to Cannonball. But when they got there he was strapped to a machine. His body was weak and he looked down to his little granddaughter as he stroked her head with his weak paw.

“ Hello...my little granddaughter. I was hoping to tell you the story before I pass. I got tell you this story before my body fails.” He smiled weakly looking up to the Zebra his eye’s show his kindness to her. Jonon gave a gentle smile. The older creeper lies on his back thinking a moment. His eyes look empty full of pain and his heart beats slowly. The machine beeped and being strapped to what he was. He just seemed so lost.

“ I never thought I would die this way.” He gave a weaker smile and stroked her head again. “Let’s see where were we?” He thought a moment and then smiled. “ Oh, I remember. The sentinel was closing in on us.”

____________________________
70 years ago Hospital.

The Sentinel slowly came along firing at me and I kept moving out of the way shooting back at it. Looking at Pothead making a hole for us. I reached into my bag bringing out a glue bomb. Tossing it down as the glue caused the tread’s of the sentry to be stuck and it screamed.

“ ERROR ERROR can’t move!!! Error!!” We get into the hole and we climbed into the wall heading up to the second floor. She started digging into the wall to get to the second floor. She ate the wall as she spite out the plaster. Her teeth seemed to be made for this. Looking back I knew the bomb wouldn’t be lasting then I noticed a robot fixing the wall. There is no way back. It seems there is still something in this building that has things repair. My eyes then turned back to Pothead as she broke through the wall and we finally get to the second floor. We looked around and scales softly spoke.

“ Be careful the Crazies are here..they..” He was cut off when a mine went off and flew us all over the place Scales crashed back into the wall and was knocked out the rest of them flew away from me. I was the only one left. I looked down I didn’t feel my left leg. Then I saw in the smoke a creature hitting me with the butt of a light and I went down.

The present

After the story was done for the moment Cannon fell asleep. It was night and Kip calmly shooed them out. Before Jonon fully left she looked to Skull crusher talking to the broken mare in the bed.

“ I know you can’t hear me little Star shooter. But we miss you...Star shooter you saved the island. The island..our home your home....your family needs you...We need you...We need you to come back...” He held her hoof and she just lies there. As she blinked a moment and she moved a hoof.

“ Skull Crusher...” She soft said as she sat up and looked around. Skull crusher blinked and looked to Jonon.

“ Get the other’s “ Jonon nods. She gave Snow a little nuzzle and rushed off. A few seconds later she came back with her friends. Slicer laughed and cheered.

“ She is awake!! But....allow me to check you out Star...then we can get you a drink.” Star nodded as Jonon smiled and calmly took Snow along to her home. She had a large smile on her face. It’s been years since they saw Star shooter wake. The snow was taken to her home and Jonon offered the sleepy little Snow to her mother. Snow’s mother calmly carried the little one to her bed and allowed her to sleep.
