Fallout Equestria: Frozen Clock

"Welcome to the new world."

A strange explosion hit near the Black Hoof Military. In one room four tubes are there... They seemed to be plugged in this system. A strange device seems to be clicking on the terminal. One tube slowly unfreezes and a Zebra slowly falls out onto the floor with a thud. Groaning I open my eyes getting face to face with the strange robot. A voice comes from the machine.

"Listen calmly miss Zebra... You need to get out of here quickly and head to Battle Trot. Get yourself out of Detrot quickly. We will talk more when you get out of here... Also when I leave this robot..they will attack you... Sorry." I blinked and suddenly the robot discharged. I stood up quickly on the metal hooves and I did a zebra style attack and my hooves of metal smashed deep into the robot causing it to blow up. I pulled the hoof from the husk..staring at the metal hooves.

I walk to the terminal to open the others lift my hoof and suddenly strange wires come out of it and I gasped the wires fuse themselves to the terminal and my brain transports to inside the terminal. I look around and blink and suddenly a robotic voice speaks.

"Hello..new user..to Black Hoof's company hacking system. If you wish to learn how to use this system please press one now." A one shows up in front of my face and I blinked, clicking it.

"Ah good, good what you have been fitted with is a new black ops military unit. First, we shall update your system." A strange file shows up and I start feeling strange sensations entering my body. My blood carrying the data through it... Going right into my brain. Then the voice spoke again.

"Alright to hack the system. You will be given words to hack through... Warning if you fail you will sometimes get shocks forced through your body to your brain. Failure is not an option. Now, remember you will need to request updates for yourself at every terminal you come across. So remind yourself an update is your friend.." I blinked not even sure about all this.

"Now let's see hmmm ah yes..you're ID is number 27... Hmm, you seem to be the only one that lived through the other 26 impressive. Now let's see. Desert Rose Zebra spy and sympathiser. Wanted by the Equestrian army... Ooooo. You're inside an Equestrian army base... I recommend getting out of here quick. But first now to show you how to hack."

A bunch of words show up and text in front of my eyes form.

"You will see strange words as the passwords... You look through each of them..sometimes you only have four times to get it wrong... But thanks to the upgrades the file just gave you... You can bypass some of this. But again if you get any wrong. = You will have a charge come through your body... Now-" A strange feeling pulled my hoof to one of the words. "Click the word." I clicked it and it worked. Then it brings up the three other creatures I got trapped here with the Diamond Dog I click on that one..

"Hmm, male Diamond Dog. Known as Bowser. Given the eyes of many seasons or aka able to see heat and in the dark... Needs some updates... So the wires can fuse in the retinas. The hooves give updates to all the others. This will be painful to them. As well using night vision will be painful... Since the brain won't be used to it for awhile. Oh, poor creature this..one is a runaway worker from the hoof... Ha ha... Oh, poor boy.."

I sighed and clicked the Pegasus.

"Hmm, a well known adulterous mare. Who would sleep with whatever she could... So a slut." I blinked at this. Seeing that she was captured for sexual intercourse to blackmail leaders.

"Too bad, fake facts...for the poor mare... A happy mother...a happy wife...lost everything thanks to the black ops. Now her upgrade. Let's see... Oooo the emotions trigger. This weapon shows her emotions and gives her great might if she is upset... When she is scared she can change her coat into what the background is. Happy nothing, hungry it just keeps going... I am hungry...feed me. Again you need to connect to them and upgrade the systems...each terminal you come to...out in Equestria.." I rolled my eyes.

Clicking on the final one. The buffalo

"Hmm, the crying mares mane and horns. When she is in a fight armour would form on her body and her horns will overheat and the holes in the horns are used to release the steam. This makes her strong and able to break through anything but lead and hard steel. Reasons for her being here... Oh.....oh...she was there at the wrong time...her name is June. She needs to be updated as well. Now let's contact Equestria's military to see if we can understand what is going on."

I sigh and wait for the system to contact and then he comes up.

"The Military no longer exist no one has reported in. IN the last 200 years. It seems the last report was set in Trotting Creek. The map will be printed down for you when you get out of the system. OH!! I forgot something... Release them from their tubes...done. Thank you for using the computer system please don't come...back. HA HA HA I am kidding....but not really bye."

I am forced out of the system and shake my head hearing bodies thud beside me. I walk to the three was the Diamond dog looks around.

"I can't see!!! Grrrr, what happened?!" He yelled out.

"Shhhh.."

"Who is that?!" He looked around scared.

"A friend..give me a moment." I lift my hoof to his eyes and the wires enter the system. I close my eyes as the update installs.

"What....is that!! Hurts too much!!!" Inside his eyes, the wires connect to the retinas and to the brain. Causing so much pain and he falls to the ground passing out.

I calmly laid beside the Pegasus mare and she opened her eyes looking to me fear in them and I patting her back gently with my hoof.

"Shhhh I am not going to hurt you." The mare nods and nuzzled into me, shaking.

"Wh...what is going on? Where is my husband, my children?" I sighed softly.

"I am Desert Rose..I was captured myself by these ponies of the Black hoof. Do you have a name?"

She nods looking around.

"Thunder Drift or just call me Drift.." I smiled.

"I need to do something Drift, will you let me?" She nodded softly and I put my hoof to her chest and she noticed the device and I connected to it started to update and it seemed to be teaching her what the system is.

"Huh...very interesting that I was given this...but why?" I gave a shrug.

"I got contacted by someone they wish us to head to Trotting Creek." She gave a nod and I stood up walking to June and she stood up looking at me and gave me an angry look.

"I offer my goods in friendship and ponies....attack me.." I gave a nod and lifted my hoof and gave her the update to the system and it explains her about the machines.

So...thats why they took my horns away.." Bowser woke up and sighed.

"I have a feeling grrrr we should stick together grrr." Rubbing his head.

I nodded and looked around seeing the map.

"Heres our map." Bowser picked up and read it.

"Hmm it wants us to head to Trotting Creek..it will be a long walk." He rolled it up and looked to me and the other two.

"Yes..let's find a way out of here first.." Walked out the door. While the others stayed behind me..we found some dead bodies that have been dead for years and Bowser picked up some of the guns and ammo.

"I think we better find whatever we can in here..and then head out." I gave a nod. I removed the armour from the dead ponies, placing it on. Noticed June placing on armour she could fit and set the weapons on her sides.

"Never seen weapons like this." I gave a nod as I took a pistol to make sure I could use it. Drift went into another room and came out in armour that was meant for her. She cut a hole to make sure she could fire the beams.

"Guys there is bags of food and supplies in here.." Going inside we gathered what we could.

"I don't care much for this." I said softly.

The other three agreed with me..

"I need to find my children." Drift said she seemed very upset..

"I doubt we will find them...it's been 200 years since we have been there..and from what I gathered from what I learned...the world is dead.." They look at me blinking.

"Let's get outside to see if this is true." I said to them very unsure in my voice. We walk calmly. Drift looks at the weapons she placed on her sides looking at the bite.

"Why do ponies have these weapons?" She looked at them nickering softly feeling very unsure.

"Grrr...." Bowser looks around unsure about this place. June looks around.

A few robots seem to be leaving us alone and they scan us. Seeing our name tags from the armour.

"Ah...how may I help you?" The robot asked.

"Um...show us the way out?" I asked in returned and the robot nodded leading us to the outside door. Then stopped.

"Take care the Zebra threat needs to be removed from the Equestria." My eyes grew angry but I stayed silent and opened the door and a gasp came from me and the others.

The buildings around us shattered most of the buildings still standing, bones all over the place. Seeing this made me drop to my haunches... Drift started to sob as the chest light turned to very blue to show her sadness...

"Bowser show us the best way out of here to get to Trotting Creek?" Bowser nods and looks at the map.

"It seems if we cut through the city north-west. We would find ourselves there in a day or so if we move without anything stopping us." Bowser looked to me a moment.

"I feel we should do this.." I said nodding.

Slowly stands on my hooves and helped Drift getting on her hooves and June had tears in her eyes but we started moving. Drift flew in the air ahead of us. She was gone for awhile and then returned.

"I found no ponies. But I can say this the city is pretty empty." Drift landed back down having fear in her eyes. Nodded as we started to walk slowly. But we started hearing shooting. I looked to Drift and she flew up to see what it is and then rushed back.

"It seems to be a group of ponies under attack by very crazy looking ponies."

"Drift you go in first and use your device...we will come in from behind." Drift nodded and flew off and went on ahead and we started running towards the battle hearing the laser from drift going off with her guns and the ponies screaming. I get closer and did cartwheels and smashing into two of the ponies breaking the neck of one of them. June's armour forming on her and she charges smashing into one of the ponies breaking their side and then the steam comes out of the horns.

Bowser rushes in lifting up the machine gun and fires killing the pony.

"Bowser check if there are any more." Bowser looks around and then a pony comes up to him and he blocks the attack with the gun and he falls on his back and almost gets hit by a hammer but the ponies they were attacking shoots them. I noticed the last one started running.

"Drift get that one!! But keep him alive." She lifted her chest up and a beam hits the pony in the leg making it turn to dust and he falls screaming. As Drift lands beside him with Bowser taking weapons from the male... June stayed in her armor, her horns cooling down.

Walking over to the pony.

I placed my hoof on their neck

"Speak. Who are you?!" The pony laughed insanely.

"Murder, Rape, kill!!! Will kill you!!" I blinked staring at them and a voice speaks.

"You can't reason with this filth." Looking over to see a scared mare in heavy armor walk over slicing the stallion's neck with a knife and she is a large earth mare.

"I'm Bound Trot. I'm the guard of the caravan we are heading to the old taxi plant...our home.." Looking towards the ponies and I nodded.

"We need to get to Trotting Creek..so if you can help us get there...would be great..." I said with a smile.

She blinked.

"I see, that's not an easy path. But we can help you. But first, come with us.... You need better armour than that." Looking to the others and Drift nodded.

"Oh, my a dashite." Another unicorn came over.

Drift blinked looking to the Unicorn.

"What's a Dashite?" Drift got even more scared, Bowser calmly stood in front of her staring at them..

"Huh, nice pet did you tame him?" The unicorn mare asked while Bound trot hits the mare with her tail.

"Grrr no one...tamed me.....ponies capture me....freeze me....wake up just now...like the other three here..."

"Yes... I am Desert Rose...a zebra that was accused of helping Equestria go to war... I was spending time with my friends Twilight Sparkle and Pinkie Pie."

The unicorn mare blinks and points her hoof to a sign. "You mean that Pinkie Pie?"

I looked my eyes going wide seeing the sign. It said. "Pinkie Pie is watching you forever." I gulped and looked back to them.

"Maybe we should get you out of the waste and then we can explain to you what happened." I nodded and we followed them. We passed many broken buildings and noticing so much death. Drift stayed close to Bowser and June she was shaking and June didn't like being leaned on but she didn't wish to hurt the mare.

We got to the plant it was called Fomare. On the outside was many guards and they allowed us to come in.

"Give us your weapons." The guard said.

I removed my pistol and the rest removed their weapons giving them it all.

"You will get them back when you leave." The guard gave a nod. We go inside and we see that many parts of the factory are sectioned off. Bound trot looked to us.

"I will take you to the leader." We follow her looking at all the ponies buying and selling and seeing that ponies seem to be harder than they used to be and angrier. As we enter the room a pink mare looks up from her reports and blinks.

"Oh, Bound Trot what have you found?" Bound trot smiles and allows us to come forward.

"I am Desert Rose...former resident of Ponyville." Giving a bow.

"I am Drift...formerly lived at Cloudsdale."

Bowser spoke up growling.

"Bowser slave from Hoofintin." The mare gasped and looked to the Buffalo.

"I will not say who I am." Stares with anger.

"I am sorry but Ponyville is a raider town... Cloudsdale never heard of it..in fact..no one has seen a Pegasus in 200 years. The hoof.....yeah...rather not talk about it." I finally asked.

"What happened to Equestria?" The mare tilted her head.

"The war happened."

I blinked speaking again.

"What war? All I know is that the ponies were having talks with my kind. Then some ponies kidnapped us and place us in weird devices and we wake up to this."

The mare sighed

"There was a long war..it ended in balefire and mega spells... Causing the entire world to be nothing but what you see." My eyes fill with tears and Drift started to get upset and angry and the chest orb attached to her turns red and she starts smashing her hooves agents it and it shakes the building a bit...

"Whoa... Drift relax..." I said calmly. Drift calmed herself and breathed deeply.

"My entire....family dead...." She said with tears in her eyes. I gave her a nod and nuzzled her.

"Forgive us miss...we just woke up from a frozen sleep... This world meeting with us..and we need to get to Trotting Creek." The pink mare nodded.

"I'm Bubble gum...but yes..it might be best if you stay. We have a caravan heading out that way in a few days. So if you want..you could make yourself some caps.." I blinked.

"Caps?" I asked. Bubble Gum set them down.

"This is the currency of the waste. Bottle caps." I blinked. Looking to my friends.

"What kind of jobs are there?"

"Hmm let's see... Ah yes..for your Diamond Dog friend we could use a heavy lifter... For the Buffalo, we could use someone to patrol with us. For you two. There are bartender spots open."

Looking to Drift.

"I will do it." Drift said and I looked up nodding.

"I will as well."

Bowser sighed.

"I guess I will do it..." Bowser said and June grunted.

"I guess I will patrol...till we leave." Bound trot nods and leads June to do some patrolling. A guard leads Bowser to the back to do some lifting.

"Alright, Drift lets do it."

______________

The bar.

Drift and I were placed in bartender dresses. Her chest orb was covered up, Drift already got some orders as she was setting food on the bar and drinks. I did the same it was very odd and then I saw a stallion hitting on her. She had a bright red blush on her face.

"I...um.....not going to be...here long..." Drift was going back to work but the stallion smiled.

"Awww I'm sure your amazing in bed.." Drift's eyes went wide and her face was bright red..gulping and she went to me hiding a bit.

"It's okay... Drift... I am sure nothing will happen let's just get back to work." Drift nodded and her face so bright red as she went back to taking orders and taking caps. I kept an eye on Drift. She was getting hit on a lot by the stallions but she blew off each of them and giving them their orders. I had a ghoul come to me and he gasped.

"Desert Rose?" I blink staring at the ghoul. I finally remembered who it was.

"Puzzle?" I stared at the stallion ghoul and we hugged.

"How...are you here... Desert Rose.... I heard that you were on the run..from a murder...but I know you didn't do it." He said.

"No... I didn't these ponies from a black ops military group called Black Hoof captured me and Drift here...and upgraded us in a way and then placing us in frozen tubes." Puzzle blinked nodding.

"I see I'm happy you didn't have to see the war...then and become like this."

"Puzzle....after I am off maybe...we should talk about it." Puzzle nods and leaves... Looking back to Drift who was getting hit on so much... I laughed at this she was a cute mare and young looking. I started to get some orders myself.

"Ah yes sir.." I filled up the drink and watching Drift giggling as she was talking to a mare.

"Yes keep ignoring them they will give you more caps.." She smirks and Drift giggles.

"That's how I got my husband......" She goes silent and looks down going back to doing orders the mare blinked and I gently walked over.

"She and I were frozen for 200 years... So she didn't get to see her husband or children....but I guess we bypassed a war..." The mares eyes go wide.

"OH OH, I am so sorry..." I smiled.

"Don't worry about it, miss.." Drift gave the mare her drink and she gave a weak smile.

The two of us spent most of the day doing this... But close to the end a guard came in and told us to stay silent.

Looking outside we noticed that Bubble Gum met up with a group of interesting ponies. I whispered to the guard.

"What's wrong with them?" The guard looked to me.

"They hate Zebra's...so keep hidden. If they see you...they will kill you. They only come here...every month... Shit..." He said as one of them walked in here and I hid behind the bar... She walked up to Drift.

"Can I get an order of your hayburgers? Along with some Sparkle Cola." Drift nodded and it took her awhile but fulfilled the order.

"If you...see any Zebra's around here...remember to kill them." Drift nodded.

The mare took the food and the drinks to the others. The guard sighed.

"You can come up now..." I stood up and asked.

"Who are they and why do...they have the right to hurt my species?"

"They call themselves the Exterminators. They consider Zebra's an evil... Don't worry you will be leaving in a few days and they are only here for a day. They feel they have a right..since some Zebra's do cause heck around here..there are some tribes that demand..ponies to pay for their crimes." I blinked and sighed.

"So..my friends and I wake up in a world so backwards..." I stroked the bridge of my muzzle with my hoof and sighing. The two of us got back to work. June walked in to get a drink and Bowser came in as well he was whining and stroking his arms.

They both come to the bar and Bowser growls softly.

"These...ponies came in...and tried to accuse me of being a hell hound... I told them... I am a Diamond...dog..." He growled... Rubbing a bruise on his arm. I set down some Sparkle Cola to him.

"Drink that up and we will be out of here soon Bowser." June sighed and sat on her haunches.

"I don't like this world...." She layed her head on the bar sighing. I looked to the two and smile.

"We will be on our way in a day or so." She blinks seeing one of the Exterminator's come towards her. I looked and tried to hide... June looked at the strange pony.

"May I help you?" She said softly.

"Last...time I saw one of your species...they refused to help ponies... Because of the past..." June snorts.

"I am sorry to upset you, sir... I just came to this world from a cryo tube they called it... Along with my three friends..here..." I stood up.

"Four..." He gasped grabbing his gun aiming at me.

"I was there before the war started...before you try shooting me...you better learn...I had nothing to do with that war in the past... My family was murdered by the Black Hooves." A gasp came out from the ponies in the bar. He dropped his gun...

"The Black...hooves?" He gulped.

"Yes...they are the ones that took us from our families 200 years ago and did this to us." I lifted one of my hooves to the bar and Drift open the chest of her coat to show.

"They took my eyes..grrr..." June grunts taping the horns.

"We aren't your enemies.... Exterminator, I am a Zebra of the past..not one of this time... So don't put me in the same light as the ones now." I went back to work. As the Stallion left. The guard walked in.

"Come on everypony it's time for closing.." Drift was red in the face as a stallion held her hoof and basically kept telling her how beautiful she was. The guard pushed the stallion out of the way.

"Now now lover boy leave the mare alone." He turned to Drift giving her a wink as she blushed deep red..hiding her face with a wing. The ponies started to pour out... I chuckled and looked to Drift.

"Drift you have been asked to go to bed with ten stallions and two mares." Drift had a bright red face.

"I don't...know... I was never this attractive back then. Could it have something to do with this?" She opens the coat again to show the chest orb. I gave a nod.

"Maybe. I could check for you." Drift gave a nod and I put my hoof up to connect to it and then here I got again. I went inside the machine and the computer starts to speak.

"Ah, you have returned... YAY!!" It made a part and dance.. and then stopped.. "Now...what brings you here?" I blinked and coughed.

"Does this machine make the wearer more attractive?" The computer laughed.

"No, it doesn't it doesn't affect the attractiveness of the wearer. The mare is just that attractive. It is why she was chosen for this. She has that beauty that could make her a great spy.." Chuckles.

"All the sexual tension she could cause. It would be impressive." I sighed.

"Okay, so any terminal can give an update?" The computer chuckles.

"Yes yes... Now you done?" I nodded and was kicked out and shook my head.

"It has nothing to do with that Drift..it seems you just have that beauty." I gave a smirk her face turned bright red.

"Th..that's what my husband told me every day." Bubble gum walked in and smiled.

"Thank you for all the work you did for us today..the caravan will be leaving in two days do you four think you can handle staying here for two more days?" I gave a nod so did the others. Bubble gum looked through the caps we made and she gave us half of it.

"Since you are working hard for us... You will get half. I would say have one of you hold it... We will be giving you saddle bags armour and weapons even food. But this is the time we can help you for free. If you return you will be treated like we treat every pony here.." I gave a nod.

"Thank you, Bubble gum... Is there a place we can stay in?" Bubble gum thought a moment.

"There is a room that we give to the biggest payers... But since you are our guest for two more days you may stay in it for free. Food for being there for you along with drinks. Also please miss Rose..stay out of the way of the Exterminators." I gave a nod as she lead us to our room in our room was armour made specifically made for each of us.. Along with bags and weapons. I was given a pistol and something called a Zebra energy sniper. Bowser was given a large Minigun. June was given heavy armour and had smgs attached to it.

Drift was given Pegasus type armour with a plasma weapon attached to it. "I don't...care for this world..." She said softly. A knock came to the door as a stallion walked in and came up to Drift and she was bright red in the face.

"Helloo..." She said softly. He smiled and leaned down to kiss her hoof. Her face turned bright red and there was a whisper in her ear and she backed up blushing deeper giggling. I grew tired of this and stood in front of her and stared at the stallion.

"Listen, big guy...we are new to this world...so... I don't think it's wise...for her to go anywhere with you." The stallion stared at me.

"Don't worry miss... I am not like those other stallions that wanted to just rape her... I want to take her on a walk and make sure she is treated well." Bowser growled softly.

Drift walked over to the stallion.

"I will be fine... Rose..." She looks to her and the orb had words come up on it... "If I am not back..in an hour find me." I gave her a nod. Bowser growled softly June didn't seem very happy about this either... As Drift left with the Stallion.

"Grrr, you're letting her go?!" Bowser wasn't happy.

"Shhh if she is not back...in an hour...we will go search for her." I said unsure Bowser growled softly and June was unsure herself.

"I am going to get some rest..." June said softly and layed on one of the beds. Bowser sat by himself unhappy that we let Drift go and I sat in a chair reading a book. An hour later we heard a knock on the door and the stallion walked in without Drift.

Bowser stood up growling.

"What happened to her?!" The stallion blinked.

"Oh um I um..." Bowser goes to the stallion and forces him against the wall forcing his claws in his neck. "talk or I will dig into you."

The stallion gulped.

"Okay.... Okay, she...was taken from me by the guards... They wished to speak to her." I stood up quickly so did June and Bowser.

"Lead us there." The stallion gulped and he did so... We heard crying and screaming and we broke in as Bubble Gum stood in front of Drift who was crying bruised and bleeding blood coming from between her legs. Bowser and June rushed to Drift and Bowser hugged her as she sobbed.

"You two...had no right to do this to her!! She is our guest." Bubble gum said in an angry voice. I stood beside her and stared at her.

"Is there any punishment for crimes like this?" Bubble gum looked to me.

"Sadly sometimes no...this is normal for our world." Suddenly Bowser charged at them both out of nowhere and killed one of them with his claws howling in anger...

"Bowser stop!!" I yelled but Bubble gum stopped me shaking her head.

"This is how we deal with crime. They will be replaced." She said giving a nod to me as the other tried to fight back and bowser's eyes showed his anger and killed the other. Rushing back to Drift...

"She needs a doctor!" June said

Bubble Gum nodded. Bowser picked her up and she sobbed so hard. As Bubble gum lead us to the infirmary. As a mare with crossbones for a cutie mark and she was a light blue unicorn with light red eyes and she gasped..

"...Wh...what happened?" She said with a stutter.

"She was raped by the guards... Bones.." She looked up gasping and pushed off a bunch of interments off the table.

"S..et her here.." Bowser set her there, stroking the crying mare's mane..

"Shhh, its grrr okay Drift...we are here.." I stood guard by the door just in case. Drift softly spoke sobbing.

"I...t..trusted them... Bubble gum followed us and then they started hurting me and did this to me.." She sobbed hard as I stood by the door and a guard came in.

"Bubble Gum to.....of..." It was Bound trot seeing Drift and Bubble Gum gave her an angry look.

"She was....raped by two of your ponies... Bound trot...now...go find better ponies to be guards..that won't hurt our guest." Bound trot sighed nodding. She walked over to Drift and Drift looked at her with bright red eyes from all the crying.

"I don't like this...world... I want to go home.....back to Equestria to my family.." She sobs hard and Bowser held her close as Bones did everything she could for her wounds. I stayed silent.

"We will keep doing for you ponies..then we will leave.." I said and Bubble gum nodded.

"I am very sorry for this...the Factory ponies will be told about this. There are more than us living in Factories like this..so you will be treated with respect each one you come to." I just stared at her looking back to Drift.

"If this happens again... Bubble Gum I can tell you that I won't stop Bowser here..." Bubble gum nods.

"Or would I want you to Desert Rose. I am going to contact the other factories around the Michitrot area... I will let them know you four are to be trusted." I nodded and she trotted off. Bones gasped staring at the machine in Drift's chest.

"Oh my, how did this happen?" Looking through the machine.

"Before we got frozen..some ponies from Black Hoof placed it in her along with what I have and so forth." Bones looked up and nodded.

"It's connected to her emotions. It's purple right now because she is sad." Said Bones sighing. Drift calmed down leaning into Bowser and he smiled.

"See I won't let anypony hurt you Drift." Drift smiled and nuzzled into him and whispered in her ear.

"I would be honoured to be your bodyguard.." He said softly. She smiled and the orb in her chest went back to a calm colour and Bones smiled.

"It seems you will be fine, they didn't release any of their ahem in you... So you won't get pregnant... So go enjoy your night." Drift nodded and flew off the table standing by me as June grunted, standing on the other side of Drift.

"If anyone..comes towards you Drift... I will gore them." June said with a smirk. Bowser walked the other side of her as we headed back to our room. When we walked in there was a robot standing there. I blinked and the others got ready to attack.

"Whoa whoa.." The robot said softly.

"I mean you no...harm...you may call me Forge... I am waiting for you at Trotting Creek. But I am sure you wonder why I woke you four up..." I gave a nod as the others lied on their beds. As the robot spoke to me.

"There is a battle about to start...a war you could say..between the flesh and the robotic... We need to put a stop to it..before it starts up.." I blinked.

"Is that why we got these upgrades?" The robot looked at them and blinked.

"I need to do more research on this matter but... I don't have much time..anymore..to speak to you..." The robot overloaded and then fell in a heap. I sighed and I went to my bed and I fell asleep.

_____________________

Next day.

Drift and I were back to work at the bar. She was more unsure about stallions flirting with her but she did blush a few times... I heard her giggling when she was talking to another mare who was hitting on her. I kept working but not talking. It was hard for her that every stallion that came up to her ask for sex... She just kept saying no... But she did offer them a drink but not for free.

"I um...." Drift blushed... "I don't swing..that way miss..thank you, though... But I can give you our drinks here." The mare chuckles and nodded

"I will take some water then." Drift sets down in front of her.

"I am sorry that I don't swing..that way..but thank you.." Drift said softly... The mare smirks and heads back to her table.

"I swear.... Drift sooner or later you're going to find your future husband here..." Drift blushed.

"I was a bartender back home...that's how I met him." Drift smiled and her eyes went wide... As a Pegasus stallion walked in he was blue he had no cutie mark and was in heavy armour. He leaned on the bar.

"Hello...beautiful.." She gulped staring at him. Her wings poofed out.

"I...u...um hello..." She stared at the stallion and I leaned into Drift whispering.

"I could leave you two alone.." I said with a smirk. Drift looked to me and regained herself...

"Ahem...I am Drift s...s..sir." The stallion smirked.

"I am Blitz wing... I think you're so beautiful..." Drift blushed so deep red and giggles.

"I um....um....can I get you to drink?" The stallion smiled and held her hoof.

"I would rather drink from your beauty..." Drifts face turns bright, bright red. I rolled my eyes face hoofing. Calmly got between them and looked to the stallion.

"Sir...maybe order...rather than flirting with her.." He smirked at me and chuckled

"I will take some whiskey." I nodded and gave him a bottle he set down a few extra caps and then leaned on the bar.

"Maybe we could talk later...beauty.." He winked at Drift and she blushed so red and I looked to her staring at her and she just seemed to stay focused on him. She then said.

"I want...his foals..." I was drinking water and spit from it...looking at her...

"Drift...you don't even know him...." Drift looked up to me and blushed deeply.

"S...sorry. I wish to get to know him.." She regains herself and then goes back to her job. I sighed thinking we need to get out of here before... Drift gets married here... I went back to my job and looked up seeing Puzzle again. He looked around with fear.

"Rose...there is a storm coming... A nasty storm. It's Tornado weather... I am going to go warn Bubble Gum... So please find a place to hide." Puzzle went after to warn Bubble Gum. Then my eyes went wide..

"Oh, shit June is out there... Drift..." She was at the bar flirting with Blitz wing who came closer and they even kissed...

"DRIFT!!" She jumped up looking at me.

"Go outside...quickly...see if you can find June." Drift flew out of the bar and flew out the door the wind blowing so hard as she flew out into it. Blitz looked at me blinking.

"I am going with her..." He flew out quickly to catch her. I was worried and then Bubble spoke over the intercom.

"Ponies go back to your rooms lock yourself in there and get ready for the storm." The bar started to close down as I went back to the room and on the way, I ran into Bowser.

"OH, it's bad out there..." There was a sudden hit of a flash against the side of the building and it shook.

"Bowser, June and Drift are out there..." Bowser blinks and the two of us nod and rush outside. June and the one's she patrolled with return along with Drift and Blitz wing.

"It's coming!!" Drift yells and suddenly the building started to shake a groan. Parts of the building came down on us as June's armor formed on her to protect her. Blitz wing pushed Drift out of the way some falling on him. After awhile as soon as it started it ended and started to pour down rain... The roof was worst for wear but no holes...

I looked up gasping

"JUNE!!!" Pointing my hoof up at the falling metal and stuff. June stood there ready to take it on. As I went to help get Blitz wing from under the metal and we all headed ...In as June hit some of the metal away that was about to smash into us... Bowser looked around.

"There are no ponies under anything." We rushed in to hear sudden crashing.

I panted softly.

"What was that?!"

Blitz wing groaned.

"Tornado....a category one...if it was higher more would be dropping." He groans trying to stand up. But his leg is broken.

"You saved... Drift...if you want to be with her...you better treat...her right..." Bowser said growling. Blitz smirked.

"Yes, father..." Bowser growls deeply and Bones rushed in to take Blitz away Drift following.

"June go outside and see if any ponies are out there... Bowser come with me see if they need us for anything." June nods and rushes outside. Bowser walks along with me as we check each room to see if the ponies are okay... Then we go check on Bubble Gum and she is fine as well.

"Do you wish us to open the bar back up Bubble?" She nodded. I smiled and trotted off to get back into the bar. Drift came back as well and smiled at me. Drift seemed to be walking on air.

"He wants...to come with us Rose...can he?" I smiled nodding.

"It may be awhile..but I told him where we are heading..." I nodded and gave her a gentle hug. As Bowser went back to his job and June came back in.

"No ponies outside just a lot of fire damage everywhere." I gave a nod as Drift and I started to take care of the bar she went to clean tables with her hooves and a towel. Bubblegum came in.

"We will be keeping the bar open through the night... Since this happen and the caravan will be leaving a day after tomorrow so be ready for it." Gave her a nod as ponies started walking back in. I smiled softly and Drift started having stallions all over her and she backed away.

"Sorry...boys I am spoken for.." She winks and goes back behind the bar...

She whispers in my ear. "Not really but I don't like all this craziness of being all over me....it would make you think I am the only mare of beauty here." I laugh giving a nod. Going back to work and the storm got worse outside. I blinked seeing Puzzle again.

"Puzzle the Pegasus don't control the weather anymore?" Puzzle sighs.

"The Pegasus broke themselves off from the rest of the world while ponies down here were dying." Drift looks up hearing that her ears fall. Then another Ghoul walks in my eyes went wide... Seeing the mare come in with a shipment of food water. Drift and I walked over to her.

"Ditzy?" Ditzy turned around and her eyes went wide seeing the two of us. She set down her chalkboard writing down and lifting it up. "Drift? Rose?" We both nodded. She gave us both a tight hug. She then rushed outside and gave us a book wasteland survival guide for this area. She put down the chalkboard again writing. "It's free it will tell you about many things of this area to avoid." Gave her a nod.

She then lifts it back up after cleaning it and writing again. "I need to be going..maybe you could explain to me why you all vanished sometime." I gave a nod and she went outside and flew off with her wagon. Drift lifted up the boxes that Ditzy left behind and went behind the bar to open them up and get them ready...

I go clean tables that ponies leave behind and I see those ponies again one of them stares at me. I speak softly.

"Look... I am a zebra oh no... I am the boogie mare... I was not part of the Zebra's that helped destroy the past... I was locked in a cryo tube by The Black Hoof." The pony gulped looking away. The leader of the exterminators walks up to me he was a large stallion I looked up at him.

"I'm Noodle..." I blinked.

"Um...may I help you?" The large stallion stared at me.

"I can't help but notice you're a Zebra not hiding from us..like most do...why?"

I looked up to him...

"Should I be? Heck, I am sure you could kill me right now if you wanted but... I don't fear you." I stared at the large stallion he reared up to attack me and I quickly cartwheeled out of the way and took my hooves and smashed into his chest in pressure points. Just enough to stun him. He fell to the floor and coughed.

"Attack me again... I dare you..." I walked away from him to get back to work. Many guns from the Exterminator ponies aimed at me. Drift grew angry and she smashed into the ground with her hooves causing them all to fall.

"Enough.." Drift shouted... Then calmed down as they stood up gulping.

"Now sit down and we shall serve you.." She said in a sweet bubbly smile. They nod sitting back down and the other ponies in the bar clapped their hooves together and on the ground cheering me and Drift. Drift blushed softly and I chuckled.

"Now come let's enjoy our lives instead of trying to fight and murder.." I softly said and Puzzle smirked.

"You haven't changed Desert...now if I may, what happen to you?" I sighed.

"The Black Hoof killed my family captured me Drift here... Bowser and June." June rushed in.

"Storm is getting worse out there!! There is so much water out there." Puzzle looked to June and smiled.

"Sadly that is normal sometimes we get a little flooding in here." June grunts and snorts. Seeming to look around and staring at the ponies. See one of them lift a gun with their magic aiming for Desert Rose... She charged and the pony screamed in pain and the gun fell and she pulled her horn out of the ponies ass.

"Never do that...again.." She snorts at the pony and goes to the bar. The pony sobs softly. As he keeps saying "MY ASS!!"

I rolled my eyes laughing softly. Shaking my head and the bar started to close we had to wait one more day before we could leave... Drift and I stayed in the bar to clean it up. June went to go check on Bowser. I sighed looking towards the ponies staring at me. Looking to Drift.

"Drift it seems I am an enemy to these ponies." Drift blinks and looks towards the ponies staring at them. Looks back to me and shrugs with a nicker.

"Let them... I think just let them do this." I nodded and my stomach growled.

"Hmm want to have some dinner?" She nodded as we made some food for us and Bowser and June walked in. They sitting with us getting food and drinks of their own...

"I learned no one has seen a Buffalo for 200 years." June sighed.

"I learned something." Bowser said. "I learned that I am never going back home...the hoof is insane apparently. Extremely insane." I stayed silent. Drift spoke up...

"I heard that Pegasus no longer..control the weather and that... Princess Celestia and Luna are dead..." I blinked sighing.

"So I have a feeling we will be learning more about what happen to the past... On our journey." The others gave a nod as Blitz wing walked over limping and giving Drift a deep kiss. As she is blushing deeply in it. Bowser coughed as the orb on her chest could be seen glowing brightly. Drift broke the kiss giggling.

"I will see you in Trotting Creek... I can't leave here for a few days... So stay beautiful.." Drift Giggles and he kisses her again as he walks off.

I rolled my eyes snorted. "Whatever happened to dating but I guess in this world there won't be much of dating." Drift blushes gently.

"From what he told me...since they never know if they will live to see the next day and so on... It's hard to get a good date." I looked to Drift and nodded sighing.

"We got one more day here..." Bowser sighed.

"I want to get moving soon...after that Tornado, I am told that happens a lot around this time of year." June snorted eating her food.

"It's very deadly outside... It's not peaceful." I nodded and drank from the food. as Bubble Gum came down from her office and gave us our share and she smiled.

"Thank you for your kindness... I got in contact with the other Factories they will give you jobs if needed. You will be trusted so yes I do hope you four have a peaceful trek to Trotting Creek." I looked over to her and nickered nodding.

"One more day then we can get going." Bubble Gum nodded.

"You two wish to stay here and keep being bartenders?" The pink earth pony mare asked.

Drift and I look to her and smile.

"Sure we will work here one more day... Then I will write up a list for your next tender of how to work here... It's not that hard really it's pretty easy... Also...make sure your next tender is not as beautiful as Drift." Drift looked to me with a very angry look in her soft eyes but smiled. Then posed saying in a very soft voice.

"I can't help if my beauty brings all the stallions to the bar." I face hoofed

"Oh...seriously Drift I like you...but acting like that is going to make me want to slap you." Drift smiled sweetly and gave me a friendly nuzzle. Bubble Gum smiled and headed back to her office. Then I went back to eating, same for Drift.

"So....did anyone learn what parts of Equestria got hit?" I looked up asking. Drift sighed..

"I heard Manehatten and other areas but I have no idea... Maybe we will learn?" Bowser looked up from eating and he looked at the ponies that were staring at us. Outside the storm was getting worse. The flash hit outside over and over.

"Damn....and I thought the Pegasus made storms got intense.." I said softly watching outside slowly ending our dinner.

"I am going to head back to our room." June said and slowly got off the chair looking at the ponies and did a fake charge at them and they screamed. She trotted off laughing. I smirked as the ponies stared at me and I winked.

"I am going to head back to our room... I need some rest.." Bowser said and walked out of the bar looking to the ponies and stared at them. His eyes changing color to look inside their bodies.

"Hmm if you don't relax those hearts of yours are going to give out..and I would say lay off the drugs." He smirks and his eyes go back to normal heading back to our room. The ponies feared him to and they looked towards Drift who was eating her hay burger. Drift looked up to the ponies and opened the chest of her coat. She gave them a look like try it. I turned my head to look at them staring.

"Come... Drift lets..head to our room." Drift nodded and walked beside me we stared at the ponies who stared at us. I gave them a smile, softly speaking.

"You know boys... If you do want to have some fun..you could just ask me for some time in bed... It would be more fun...then shooting me." I said to them with a wink. They gave me a look of anger and hate... Then before I fully went back to my room.

"Oh, and my husband 200 years ago was a pony..and he gave me foals... So I am up for anything." I said to them with a wink swishing my tail and ass at them and I heard one of them vomit and I laughed. Bubble Gum rushed to me and whispered.

"You will be leaving tomorrow. The whispers of you and your friends are causing an issue with the Steel Rangers. They heard of the devices you have. So I had to move the caravan to the tomorrow." I gave a smile nodding.

"Thank you miss Bubble... I am sorry if we caused any problems." She smiled shaking her head.

"Don't worry about it.." I smiled and then went back into our room. Bowser is working on something June is laying in her bed and they look up to me.

"We will be leaving tomorrow apparently ponies called the Steel Ranger's learned about us... So we will be leaving early in the morning. So it's best to get some sleep but I am going to go learn more about them... Will you three be alright?" Bowser nods and he sits by Drift as she leans into her friend seeming to relax agents the large Diamond dog. June nodded and laid her head on her pillow falling asleep.

I left the room and went to Bubble Gum's office I blinked leaning on the door hearing them talk.

"Bound Trot..we can't...do this to them... They're our guest. We can't just have the caravan take them to Steel rangers." Bubble Gum sighed softly.

"The Steel Rangers are offering us a lot of caps."

"Fine... I guess we will do it.." I grew angry but then I silently trotted off and went into the doctor's office. To see Blitz wing.

"Blitz.."

I shook him awake and he looked at me...

"What?" I looked at him whispering

"Bubble gum is setting us up on a caravan that will lead us into the Steel Rangers...do you have a map to get us to Trotting Creek?" Blitz nodded and goes through is bag offering the map.

"You better get going... I will meet you in Hickory corners." I gave him a nod and trotted off to the room.

"Wake up!!" June stands up on her hooves Bowser looked up so did Drift.

"Get ready..we are leaving.." They nod as we get our armor and bags. We slowly sneak out and Bubble Gum trotted up to us looking towards us.

"Why are you leaving?" I stared at her.

"I heard your talk with Bound Trot...you wish to give us up to the Steel rangers for caps." I stared at her as she looks down sighing.

"Go...go right to the bridge and don't look back... If you keep going to you will get to the ruins of Trotting Creek. Please hurry the steel rangers will be in their position tomorrow." We nod and we rush out one the guards stops us for a moment.

"Thank you for your help you better get going...they will be heading down this way in six hours.." I nodded and we ran off into the ruins of Detrot. This was going to be a long trek and path. We head right into the ruins. I look towards the factory as we start running as fast as we can..away from the factory... I was told it would take us a few hours to get to the bridge. But for now, we are safe... Drift was flying beside me... Bowser was on all fours going very fast and June was ahead looking at every spot to make sure..we are good she stops every now and then to look. Bowser looks as well and with the steam from her horns. It shows its fine.

We vanish into the night and become one with the waste...
