Fallout Equestria: Mountain Mystery.

How the fuck is this an idea?! I think the detective has lost it if he thinks using me as a trap for the troggles will work. I flap my wings staying high in the air to find the tear again. I watch while the town is having no issue fighting off the troggles.

I doubt Grogar can send a larger army but using me how dare he. Blossom flies beside me. I glance at her sighing.

“I know he sent you with me to make sure I do my part of the mission. But why did he have to send you with me?”

Blossom shrugs her shoulders.

“He doesn't trust you not to chicken out and leave us in the dust. We do what we can to stem the tide of troggles and we close the main rip to make sure Grogar can’t send something worse. Now again remember the plan?”

I take a deep breath sighing.

“Yes, I remember the plan. We get into the middle of the invading army and take out as many of their leaders as we can. But why just the two of us?”

Blossom chuckles.

“I know a good way to handle it.”

She lifts a bunch of enclave bombs with her hoof.

“I drop many of these by the tear and we fight till Smoke pipe can gather enough magic to protect this place and fully close the rip.”

I feel bad for the troggles they didn’t ask to fight for Grogar he forced them to be his slaves. I may be a gangster but there are a few things I wouldn’t even want to happen to my worst enemy. When Blossom and I get closer to the main rip we look at the ground below seeing them release creatures from the realm of Tambelon. They’re flying creatures I cock my Tommy gun.

“I will cover you!!”

The dark smokey birds fly towards me screeching loudly as when they open their beaks souls Grogar has stolen over the years scream at me. Saying help free us. Blossom looks at me fear filling her eyes. I smack her with my hoof on her left cheek bright red from the smack

“If you let your fear control you now then you’re as good as dead. GO NOW!!”

Blossom nods as she flies quickly past the birds while they fly at me. I know I am as good as dead since there are so many of them. I get ready to fire the birds coming closer and closer. I hear shooting from beside me seeing an armored enclave fly right by me taking out many of the birds. One of them a mare stops hovering beside me.

“Where is Blossom?!”

When the mare asks Blossom to dive bombs the troggles she is being shot at and she finally gets to the tear dropping the bombs and when they blow up the troggles scream and their bodies fly everywhere and one scream in pain screaming as he slowly dies.

The enclave and I quickly land to protect the big tear just in case more try to break through here. We know they’re using smaller tears. An enclave technician puts up a strange forcefield to block the tear from being used again.

“We don’t have enough power to keep this up for long. We need to know what the detective's plan will be.”

I wonder what his plan will be. I hear shots fired at me and the others as the energy bullets fly right past us. We gather up as pegasus does and fire at all the troggles they’re now surrounding us.

“Come on detective, what is your plan?!”

Root

I charge through the streets in my old armor from the lovely community I used to be in. I didn’t use weapons most would have used. I used claws on my armor. I tear through the troggles while Soda Pop and his rangers help me.

“Did Smoke Pipe tell you his plan?!”

I shrug my shoulders.

“I have no idea what his plan is. I just know it has something to do with zebras.”

We quickly do what we can to break through the troggles and whatever creatures came with them. Globe Eyes and Draco are not far behind us breaking through each of them more tears form up. While we see buildings from Grogars land forming and vanishing. We know what that means: more tears are opening up and closing.

“Okay, I don’t know how much more we can do this.”

I feel a blast hit me in the chest I groan feeling part of my armor cook I fall to my chest screaming in pain feeling the fur on my body burning. The rangers protect me as I lay on the ground screaming. I feel the pain subside hoping never to feel that again.

“Careful they can break through your armor with one blast.”

I get back on groaning. My plan for me was to get to the other side of town and stop them from getting into town. Draco and Globe eyes get ahead of us and we stop watching them break through the lines.

“Good, I need to rest. Before we go on.”

I sit down hearing shootings everywhere. How did this peaceful town become like this? I groan, falling to the ground feeling whatever hit me slowly drain me of all my energy. I still feel able to breathe.

“Root?!”

My world goes dark feeling my world vanish.

The gangs

The Lavender gang finally fully makes it to the town. After they heard something was going on all of them came with Lavender herself not far behind. Lavender and her gang use whatever they have to fight the troggles.

Many of the Lavender gang die in the streets while Lavender herself fights with them knowing if she dies she will be remembered for what she did. Vona the leader of the Chain boys gets in front of her before a blast goes into her.

Vona stares at the mare.

“If you die now Lavender you’re weaker than I thought. Have you seen Diamond or Ace?”

Lavender shakes her head.

“No, I haven’t seen them. Knowing Diamond she will do anything to help her grandfather. I hope I can tell Smoke Pipe thank you before the end.”

Vona smiles.

“You’re not the only one he helped through life Lavender. He is the reason I am the leader. Come on, let's save our hometown.”

The Black Aces come out from underground using the Blue hat tunnels and Ace himself comes out lifting a giant hammer. In his mouth, he smashes into many of the troggles. Many of his gang members use chains and whips to break through the lines.

His second in command a mare is known as Spike stands beside him.

“Boss, let's get these gits!!”

The spike-covered mare charges through the troggles using her spike armor to stab them she laughs being a larger mare than most. Ace shrugs his shoulders charging through the troggles there are more of them than there are of them but they must fight to the end.

The Black Stripes finally make it to town after a long way from their main home. Diamond, the leader in her grandmother's Roman armor, charges into the town with many zebras tossing potions and brews at the troggles. When the brews and potions hit them they scream and some melt, some turn into chickens or other creatures. But the melted ones scream to the end.

Diamond looks around for Smoke Pipe and finally sees him going into the building where the zebra is working on the brews to make the gardens stronger. She watches Bray the Donkey follow close behind the ghoul.

“Boys use it.”

Two stallions nod they drink down potions and their bodies expand full muscles as they scream in pain, blood draining from some of the veins since the mussels are hurting them more than helping.

“Get me in there.”

The large stallions charge through the streets with Diamond not far behind. They get to the zebra's hut, look outside, and Diamond sighs, closing her eyes.

“I am sorry boys stay here as long as your hearts allow it.”

She goes inside.

Smoke Pipe

Zoonie is at her station and she knew her job from the start. She turns to look at me, sweat pouring down her forehead.

“I did all I could now. All that is needed is to toss the brew into the sky and let it rain to close the tears. It will cleanse the area and make sure no more tears open up.”

I use my magic to grab it but I hear a shot ring out and I feel a bullet go into my side. I groan my magic fails as the vial falls to the floor Zoonie catches it and the gun hits her right in the chest. Close to the heart.

Zoonie falls, blood leaking from her wound. She must stay alive, her eyes growing weak from the loss of blood. I turn my head to see Bray. He smirks, firing into my shoulder. I scream in pain.

“You have pissed off the master detective and for that, you must die.”

He cocks his weapon again and Diamond quickly comes up beside him smashing into the donkey. The donkey regains himself and the two fight. I quickly stand up even if I am in pain limping a bit. Going to Zoonie.

“I must save you.”

Zoonie smiles.

“Save the town…”

I ignore her words, taking one of her potions and shoving it down her throat knowing it will try to heal her. But I might be too late. Diamond pushes Bray back as I stand up taking the vial. She smiles at me.

“Come let's.”

From behind a troggle a big one stabs Diamond from behind. She gasped as the knife the troggle held went right through her heart, the zebra I have known since she was a little foal. The one I watched became a mare.

Diamond falls to the ground. I don't see her breathing. She lays in a pool of blood with a look of surprise on her face. The large troggle stands above her and Bray comes over aiming his gun at me.

“Now shall we hear you scream?”

I felt anger filling my core. My magic goes haywire as I let out a magic scream of anger and pain and sorrow. My emotions. I lift my gun trying to fire on them Bray quickly backs up.

“Okay, I think we have lost this round. Come on, let's go.”

Bray quickly runs out with the troggle not far behind. I run after the cowardly donkey. I am not going to let him out of my sight after what he did. His master wanted to make an example of me. I shall do the same to him!!

“Come on everyone we did what we could we broke them and showed them our OW!!”

I fire into Bray's ass as he looks back at me. I fire again in the same spot. He screams falls in pain and passes out.

“Master, we could use your help!!”

Grogar for a second opens a tear himself and sends a powerful spell to blind me and everyone else. The troggles use the time to lift Bray. I can make a little bit out of it. But the blinding spell keeps me and others from doing anything. After the spell ends the tears vanish from sight.

Blossom lands in front of me after a while. I offer the vial to her. I am doing my best to keep my composure. The pain I feel in my heart is too much but for now, I can do more than just stand here doing nothing.

“Blossom I need you to put this in the clouds and make it rain. There is something I need to do.”

Blossom takes the vial and with the help of the other pegasi, she makes it rain. I go back inside noticing Zoonie died from her wounds as well no matter what potion she took we had a loss I am sure we had many losses.

I look down at Diamond, the old zebra mare. I hold her lifeless body to me not caring if her blood gets on me. I sob softly, feeling sorrow filling every part of me. Root comes into the office she gasps seeing Diamond lifeless in my arms and Zoonie dead over a paper she was able to write before she passed.

We won, we have peace but at what cost? I will always remember what I felt every day. . The loss I have lost so much over my ghoul life. I have lost my memories and I have lost many friends. Now I have lost the only one who called me grandfather. I hold the mare close singing what I sang to her to get her to sleep when she was a foal.

“Hush little one.. Don’t cry, your grandfather is here.. To watch your every step. I shall be here to watch your every movement. I shall sing to you every day and in the end, you will be strong. You will be powerful. Oh please sleep my little darling.”

I shut her eyes with my bloody hoof and all I could do was sob. Sob loud enough for all to hear. For now, it is my time to show pain.
