Fallout Equestria: Frozen Clock

We have found a place to sleep after getting many miles away from the factory we had stayed at. June stood guard because she didn't seem to want to sleep as much. Bowser had cooked for us as well when we woke up and Drift flew off to find the best way to the bridge. When she returned she told us on the bridge is a large town. But she doesn't know if it's friendly. I nodded and we got ourselves ready to leave. From what I noticed we stayed in an old bank. I even had looked through the terminal to see if there were any upgrades. But from what I was told it would only be from military terminal's. To get our upgrades.

The Ai in my hooves would send me a message in my brain to tell me where the closest one is. But at the moment there is none. But we left the bank and we did what we did before. June sticking ahead using her horn's to release steam to let us know it's fine. Bowser still searching with his eyes to make sure nothing will get in front of us. Drift stayed with beside me. But we finally saw the bridge and going through many ruins. Looking up I noticed the cloud's just stayed there no sun no nothing.

Hearing gun shot's to the right of us. But we ignored it and kept rushing to the bridge seeing a gate in our way. I knocked on the door with my hoof. A pony opened it and stared at us and then his eyes went wide. "It’s you four Bubble gum told us to expect you. Quickly!" He opens the door with a mare and we rush in as we heard more gun's behind us. Then the door's closed quickly and bullets smashed into the gate's and we heard yells outside.

" You can't keep us out of there forever!!" The stallion yells back.

" We will never let you get past." I blinked a moment looking at the entire city on a bridge." Anyway, welcome to Bridge city. This bridge is sixty miles long. It would take you two days just to get through it. Lucky for you some of the bridge is tamed. While some parts are off-limits." June snorted looking around. The Buffalo just stood there. Her eye's studying everything like it was going to harm her.

" But there is a bar here looking for some folk's that could work for them. Then we can get a caravan moving to bypass the bridge. But it would take maybe a few days to get it set up. Since the bridge is not wise to walk along alone. " June snorted again stomping her hooves.

"I will ask if they need a bouncer." I chuckled but noticed how many ponies gave Bowser some nasty looks. I stood beside him he looked around with his eyes. He looked to be like he was studying something." Then he looked back down at me the eyes retracting back into his head.

" This bridge is made to last forever. But there are some spot's the metal need's some work. But I doubt they can get down there to fix it." The stallion guard blinks.

" Wait you can see the weakness in the metal?" Bowser turned to look at the guard nodding.

" Yes The Black Hooves Gave me this eye's so I can see some pretty interesting things like that mare that works with you she is pregnant. That old mare her heart has clogs in it. That mare walking from that brothel she...." He cover's his eyes. " Yeah, enough of looking into their bodies.." I blinked a moment looking at the mare walking strangely then looked up to him. He looked down at me. Then I understood what he saw. Drift got some odd look's because of her wing's. Her face was bright red from all the looks. The orb in her chest glowed bright red.

" Alright, let’s see what we can find here job-wise. Then maybe we might find more terminal's to update more of these machines on us." We walked to the bar. Many ponies staring at us. My metal hooves clipped along the bridge. A large bouncer stallion stood in front of us.

" You don't belong here!!" The stallion said. He looked at me. I could tell he didn't like zebras. I heard the armor on June's body form. Then smashed into him tossing him away. The armor going back into the horns. I looked to see the stallion smash into the ground. Seeming to pass out from the pain. But I didn't hear any bones break when he landed. I do feel bad for him though. I feel very bad for him.

" Now we can go in," June said snorting. I sighed nodding went inside the bar. I sat at the bar. Looking to the tender who is a mare in a maid outfit.

" Excuse me miss we are looking for the owner of the bar." The mare just stared at us.

" Speaking dear. I'm the owner of this bar. You can call me Hops. But how may I help you all?" I sighed looking towards the others.

" Well, they said we need to get a job. Before we are allowed to leave on a caravan. If you could we would like jobs. I would mind working behind the bar. Since Bubble gum gave me and Drift here those jobs." Hops smirked.

" OH Bubble Gum sent you eh? Good good. She must like you, folks if she sent you here. There are other ways to get to the other side. But ten time's more deadly. Since most of the bridges are either broken or ran by Steel rangers or raiders. So I can give you and the Pegasus. A bartending job. I can give" She looks at Bowser.

" Oh sorry miss. I am Bowser a diamond dog. I was given these eyes to see through things. So If you need someone to search for you I can do it." She nodded.

" I have never seen a creature like you speak so pony like."

Bowser sighed.

"A group of ponies helped me learn. They helped me learn manners." I nodded but something came up in my vision military terminal in the back of the bar.

" Um...excuse me miss. May I use that military terminal you have in the back?" The bartender gave me an odd look.

" How do you know that I have that?" I sighed and smiled.

" The Black Hooves did some nasty things to me and my friends. They infused us with strange robotic parts. That seemed to be connected to every one of us." The tender nodded.

" But after that, I need some work done so you wish to help us before we allow you to leave?" We gave a nod sighing the four of us went into the back. Lifting my hoof to get connected to the terminal. The wire's from my hoof connected into the terminal.

My vision went into the computer and the voice spoke. " OH Well again miss Desert Rose. I see that you found another terminal now let’s see...Ah yes, this update will place more of the cybernetics up your legs protecting your bones. Now for the others. Ah, your Diamond dog friend will be able to see through thicker walls. The other mare will have protected wings. Learning to fly with those will take time. Now June's armor will be thicker. But for you, this will take time to download. So up for some card games?"

I gasped a bit in pain feeling the download take effect. It hurt when it entered my brain. But I played cards with the computer. " So what have you found since you have been going around?" The computer asked.

" Well, the entire world is dead. From bombs that fell at the end of the war. It seems most of the land is fully dead. But I do hope it gets healed. " I said with a grin. But I could see the computers face frown and he sighed.

" It's sad to hear that to bad I can't download myself into your head. Then you can see me wandering around as something I wish to be part of." The computer said snickering. I gasped feeling the metal fusing with my bones. It hurt so much. But then the download was done and he smiled.

" Now remember it will hurt your friends. to do this. Now I will let you go." I groaned but I spoke again.

" No, I need to know more about these devices. What was the real reason they were made? I doubt they were made because of this war."

The computer thought a moment and tried to dig into the files. " Hmm, let’s see what was the biggest reason for these. Ah, they were made to help crippled ponies and blind creatures. But of course, it didn't end up being used for that. The Black Hooves wanted to find a way into a land...Called Wymarnic to find the Blue Hats. So that's why they’re after you."

Blinking a moment. I heard stories of a group of ponies called the Blue hats in that area. But why would they want to go to that land? It's not like its a simple way to get in there. " I am sorry I wish I could be more helpful to you, Miss Desert Rose. But of course, it's a lot harder to help you then you think. Now I need to rest the download screwed me over. So The next terminal you find you will see it in your vision."

My mind finally got thrown back out of the computer.

Shaking my head and Drift stared at my legs. " Rose...your legs...what happen?" I smiled weakly moving my legs with no issue but I felt the metal in my bones.

" its an upgrade. You ready for your upgrade?" Drift nodded I placed my hoof to her chest infusing the wires into her. As it downloaded her upgrade. her wings grew some strange armor but she closed her eyes a concentrated and the armor turned into her fur color she smiled flapping the wings. It hurt at first. But of course, she would have to get used to it. The wire's left the device.

She went over to Bowser. " Sorry big guy." She lifted her hoof the wire's going into the eyes. The download happens and he groaned as he blinked.

" So I will see through thicker walls? What is this used to catch someone's daughter having sex?" I laughed removing the wires going to June placing the wires in her cybernetics. June snorted blinking at the fact that her armor gets thicker. This is amazing to her but when she spoke she laughed.

" So that's it I get thicker? Oh if my family could see me now. I am so thick." She laughs softly. After the downloads finished we walked back out to the bartender."

" Alright now, what jobs do you have for us?"

The tender looked to be and Drift. " Alright, I would like you two to help me with the bar. I would like your Diamond dog and your Buffalo to patrol with the guards. We may be protected here but we do get some crazy ponies." June nodded. Bowser nodded as well they walked out.

Drift and I got behind the bar now it was time to see if we could do this again. But I see most of the time that Drift would get hit on again. Looking over to Drift who placed on a uniform looking to Me she offered one to me in her mouth. Sighing I placed it on.

00000

This was pretty much the same as the factory Drift got hit on by every male and female. Most just ignored me and I just gave them the drinks. But of course, some of my species came into the bar. I didn't know who they are but the mare sat on a stool in front of me.

" I have hard stories about you. Miss Rose." I looked up to her not sure what she heard. " That you were around before the war and woke up after the bombs had fallen."

I sighed looking away a moment then nodded. " Yes I was there before the war and then woke up after the war ended. I was happily married to a pony stallion and he was convinced to turn on me or be killed. But he was killed anyway along with my family in a fire. Then they blamed me for it."

The mare blinked nodding. " I see so is it true that you run with three others?" Nodding.

" Yes, I run with three others. The other is.." Looked over to Drift who is flirting with a stallion sighing softly. "Drift!!"

Drift blinked looking over to me blushing trotting over. " Um yes??"

" This is Drift. She was frozen along with me. Also, It seems she attracts anything that wants to sleep with her."

Drift blushed deeply. " I don't know why I never had this happen to me before."

The Zebra laughed. " It could be that device in your chest."

Drift blinked looking at the device in her chest. It glowed brightly but it had an odd question mark in it. Like it wasn't sure how it worked itself. "Maybe this device is very strange even to me. I'm learning how to use it and what to make of it. But I need to control my emotions."

I lifted my front hoof. " I have to deal with these and the fact my entire legs are now metal. Whatever they did to us. I'm now fully going to become a full metal Zebra at the end of this journey." I hated the fact that most of my life is going to be defined by these cybernetics. Maybe I will learn why these were created again. I will never understand. But maybe someday I will understand Then again maybe not.

"Hmm, I see well I was on my way to Wymarnic they welcome Zebras but no ponies from the outside. It's run by Gang members who hate pony outsiders."

Blinking a part of Equestria I have heard about before hating pony outsiders but not Zebra's. Huh, I could be welcomed there maybe they could use me. But I feel maybe we need to head to that place that robot told me to lead us to. "Well we would follow you but we have a mission. It's not an easy mission but we need to get to Battle trot"

The mare nodded. "I'm known as Stripped. Yeah, I was a slave for a long time born as a slave. So I got named this by a pony and raised by ponies. So it's why I no longer really care about my kind. But I still get attacked like I am a Zebra. Well, I may be one just being raised with ponies is different."

Nodding. "I was raised by ponies as well. Since well most of my family died trying to get to Equestria away from Rome. I don't blame them myself. The stories I heard about it when I was young it's a good thing. That I didn't live there myself. But I had a family I wish I still did and not be in this nightmare."

Stripped smiled. " The war was a bigger nightmare, Desert Rose. I am sure you would be one of those ghouls roaming around if you stayed. But It seems you two are sure close."

"Of course." Drift said with a smile. " I care deeply for my friend here and our other friends." We heard a big commotion outside and the sound of Bowser and June.

"You have no right to hurt this Zebra," Bowser yelled. Then a pony is smashed through the door. June ran inside the bar, her armor to allow bullets to smash into her thick armor.

Hops shook her head standing right beside June. " ENOUGH!!" The ponies that were trying to harm the Zebra outside turned to her. They looked at her with fear. This mare is very small but she seems to have a temper. " These four are under my protection and they can protect themselves. Their leader is a Zebra. So if I see you ponies harm anymore Zebra's"

I walked out of the bar my metal hooves clomping on the ground. I had to make a show. " Who is the leader of this group of attackers?"

The ponies pointed to a large stallion who had a patch over his eye. "How about this I fight you.. and If I win you leave us alone If you win. We will leave." The stallion thought a moment looking at my hooves.

"No, I know what happens to you. The Black hooves destroyed your lives in the past. I don't think you need to prove yourselves if you had to run away from them. We need all we can get to protect ourselves from the attack that is coming. from the ponies outside."

Nods. " Good to see a pony of this future is respectful sir." The stallion smiles.

" Just call me Spikes. I don't dare fight a mare that I could mate with." He winked at me. I just stared at him like he was a nut. Why would he wink at me? I am not even interested in a random fun time. Maybe that needs to change. My family is no longer alive. my husband is not either. Maybe I need to be loose. Giving a small smile.

" Let me see how I feel after our jobs here. If you be a good boy and start harming other zebra's I could lower myself to you." I gave him a wink and walked back into the bar. June just stared at me and snorted.

" You would risk getting pregnant to that guy?" June seemed very upset as the prospect, of course, Bowser rolled his eyes. We all knew June was very protective of us.

" No June just to see if he would leave us alone for the time being. if I really want a stallion it would be a Zebra." June smirked then rushed at the ponies that are still over the bleeding Zebra they all run from her but she just stopped near the Zebra.

She laughed and Hops along with Stripes helped the Zebra up helping her inside the Bar. " Come along Bowser lets keep up this simple job." Bowser turned to me and Drift he looked annoyed that He had to work with such a crazy female. The two went off and I sighed shaking my head. Drift went back to flirting with stallions. Of course, I did see her leave the bar a few times.

" Um, Hops were is she going?"

" There is a bed in the back. She has been using it." I sighed in anger going over to Drift pulling her away from the stallion.

" Drift this has to end you need to protect your body. We can't have you getting pregnant." Drift ear's pinned to the back of her head looking down tear's streamed from her face. I could tell that hurt her alot.

"I miss my family, Rose. I wish I didn't have to do this to make myself happy. " I sighed shaking my head a bit looking over to Hops.

" Hops is there a place we can stay at?" Hops gave a nod.

" There is an empty apartment upstairs."

"Thank You I need to talk to Drift."

Hops nodded. Opening the door for us allowing the two of us to go upstairs.

000000

The Apartment was pretty the same it looked like a very nicely kept together apartment looking at Drift who had tear's in her eye's still. I didn't know what to say to her. But I was angry I didn't want her to get pregnant and then we had to take care of a little one while we go on our journey.

"Drift look. I am sorry but you can't sleep with every stallion you see. It will make it harder for us to do our journey."

Drift sighed. "I can't help it... This thing in my chest controls my emotions and my bodily functions as well. Maybe it's a flaw?" Thinking a moment nodding lifting my hoof the wire's slowly come out of the hoof connecting to the orb in her chest. I hated it when this happens my brain is transported to the computer realm again.

The computer looks at me blinking. " Miss Rose, why are you bothering me again?" I had to figure out how to ask this thinking a bit and then finally spoke.

"I'm trying to understand why does the device that was given to Drift makes her so sexy to stallions and well some mares. She has been mating with every stallion she has met lately. I'm worried that we will have to deal with a pregnant mare. sooner or later."

The computer stared at me a moment. " Hmm let me see." The computer pony looked through the device's code and whatever else. "Oh, it's a feature that can be turned off. Basically, it's a way for the pony to spread his or her foals around just in case there is a need for more. So it thinks there are not enough ponies in the world thanks to the bomb. But I think it's not wise to turn it off. It's healthy for her to do this."

"But she is going to get pregnant. I don't want that to happen if we go battle someone."

" Listen Desert Rose I understand you care about Drift. But you need to let her make her own choices. If she gets pregnant it';s her choice. It’s like with you. You might find your lover along this journey. You might get pregnant yourself. You can't just control what she does. This could be her only chance."

I sighed shaking my head. " I figured talking to you would be a bad idea since.. You don't seem to fully get how ponies are."

" Oh no no I get it. It's just something I had to think about it while I was being forced in you four. I can tell that Drift thinks of you as her leader. If you tell her no and to clean herself up she will do it. But maybe she needs these random bouts of sex to make her happy and feel better. Like with your friend June she needs to be an ass to make herself happy."

Sighed "I do have a question then. Is there a reason why the Black hooves gave us these?"

"If I knew this miss Rose I would have told you. I have been out of the loop as much as you. So get back to your jobs let Drift relax her way. You relax your way...How do you relax?"

I thought a moment. How do I relax? I relaxed by teaching ponies how to fight like a Zebra that’s all I remember. " Look I am sorry for bothering you I am sure you have much better things to do then rather speak to me."

The computer pony laughed. "I have nothing better to do but stay in here watching you folks use the abilities I give you and maybe you could find me a body. A body that I could live on my own and then we’ll see the world for myself and then take over the world." The computer laughed.

I blinked watching the computer that looked like a mare. " Ahem sorry I mean I would love to help you" I had a feeling that trusting this computer is not wise. But she hasn't done anything wrong yet. Just didn't give me the answer's I wished. I am sure she knows more then she is letting on.

"If we find a body that can be used for you. We will place you on it. But You will stay close to me because I don't trust you. I am sure you can understand."

"Oh yes, I can understand it's very easy to see. I'm a computer a non-living creature that lives in your devices. I am sure you understand that I know everything you think about. I see everything you see I even feel everything you feel."

Blinking at that. " You feel Drift have sex with all those mares and stallions?"

"Oddly yes it's an interesting sensation. I wouldn't do it myself it's just so strange to me. I understand that for creatures like you that sex is a very normal thing. I do hope that someday I could see it for myself if drift would allow me to."

I sighed shaking my head. The fact that this computer knows what we do and how we think and feel it's making me feel strange that I have a computer in my hooves that can see through my eyes. I am very very unhappy about that. It's going to bother me to no end. But maybe this a good thing it will keep me on my hooves. I am sure when I bring her a body she will explain more to me what this project was.

" I will be leaving now."

0000

My mind finally left the computer realm and looked up to Drift who had a gentle smile on her face. " I am so sorry for getting on your case Drift. I know you're having a bad time. So I should trust you more." Drift smiled nodding.

" I can understand it's hard to trust me. I used to be like this when I was in my younger years. But of course, that's what forced me to get married the first time. I slept with a lot of stallions in my collage." A sigh came from me looking up at Drift.

" Alright, let’s go back down stair's and do our job before we go check this down out and buy some supplies." Drift nodded and we both went back downstairs. Getting back behind the bar.

" Welp all is good Hop's I just needed to have a private conversation with Drift. But when can we go to town and buy some supplies?"

Hops blinks and smiles. " Thanks to what you and your friends are doing Miss Rose you will be given the supplies for free when you leave."

I blinked. " Hmm sounds wonderful but are there any other jobs we could do for you?" Hops thought a moment.

" How are you folks at taking care of problems?" I had to think about it for a moment. Not sure but maybe June and I could go take care of something for these ponies.

" What’s the problem? Maybe the four of us can go take care of it for you."

Hops sighed placing down a wanted poster. "There is a group of raiders that attack our caravan's their the one's that tried to attack you when you first came here. So if you could go take care of them. Then we will give you the supplies for free and some caps."

I looked to Drift smiling. " Think we can handle this?"

Drift shrugged. " Maybe?"

" Could you go get the other two Drift." Drift nodded spreading her wings flying out of the bar. After that happen though a stallion came up to me smashing his hoof into my face making me back up a bit shaking my head staring at the stallion. My nose bled just a bit.

"So what did I do wrong now?"

The stallion blinked. "Oh, the goddess I am sorry miss. Just after miss Drift left I grew very angry at you for some reason. I better go." The stallion trotted out. I blinked at that. That device on her chest does more then the computer told me? Or does the computer not even know half the things the orb in her chest does.

"Oh, I am sorry about that Rose." Hops looked at my nose with worried eyes. "I felt something strange myself when your friend left. That orb of hers gives off a really strange aura. Like it makes her so attractive than when she leaves. It makes many ponies hate Zebras"

Rolling my eyes. "I have a feeling that these devices were never meant to be given to a Zebra." Lifting my hoof up looking at it. It doesn’t even look like a Zebra hoof it looks so much like a pony hoof. But it has the sharpness of a Zebra hoof. "So maybe I'm not affected by it because the devices are connected by a computer that all four of us have in our heads."

Hops blinked. " You mean you have a computer that speaks to you in your head?" I nodded.

" Yes, she knows everything we do feels what we feel. So when Drift has so much sex she knows how that feels. In great detail even."

Hops sighed. " I am very happy I wouldn't have to deal with that but I feel very bad for you four. What about June though. She seems to love these devices she was given."

"Well, That’s because she likes beating the shit out of anything that comes and will keep beating anything." June walked into the bar along with Bowser and Drift. Bowser had his claws around the neck of a stallion. He lifted the stallion to me and Hops.

" Can I hurt this stallion? He already slept with Drift.” Bowser always acting like the protective big brother.

Drift blushed. "Bowser please....don't hurt him."

" I am going to hurt whoever touches you." He snorted. Hops sighed shaking her head. Drift nuzzled Bowser to relax him. He sighed dropped the stallion and the stallion run's out like he was about to die. Bowser just shook his head. "Drift you need to be careful any stallion here could take advantage of you like back at the factory and get you pregnant. We don't need that at all."

"Bowser we don't need you hurting every pony that looks at me like I am a sexy mare. It makes me happy. But for you and the sake and lives of others, I will do better." Bowser sighed nodding.

"Now before this lovey-dovey party keeps going why did you call us Rose?" June seemed upset. She had blood on her horns. "I was busy putting the hurt on a fool that was trying to insult Bowser. It was so much fun to bad the pony won't be walking anymore ever." She smirked laughing steam coming out of the horns.

I sighed. " Anyway, I got a job for the four of us." Setting down the wanted poster. " These are of the raider's that tried to cause us some issues. Now we can't leave yet. They wish us to finish our jobs here.

"Well, then I have an idea. Excuse me miss Hops do you have anyone here that know's how to fix the bridge?" Hops blinked thinking.

" Oh we do but he's in a wheelchair he could teach you how to fix it." Bowser nods. "I am going to need your help then." He looks at the three of us I nodded.

"I will be back miss Hops. " I said taking off the uniform same with Drift.

00000

The four of us went to a very run-down building. I knocked on the door and a mare opened the door. She blinked. "Are you here for my husband?"

I gave a nod.

The mare goes back inside.

“Bolt you have some creatures here to see you.” The mare brings her head back out. “Sorry I don’t mean to be rude.” The mare gave a sweet smile. I just smiled trying to show we aren’t upset.

A stallion in a wheelchair slowly comes out. He looks very beat up from all the jobs he has done for this bridge. "What can I help you with?" Bowser stood in front of us looking around with his eyes. He could see so many problems that need to be fixed.

"I have these eye's I can see the weakness in the bridge and every building on this bridge. We need help fixing it all. So are you willing to tell us how to fix it?" Bolt blinks he sighed looking at his wife.

" Get my book, my love." The mare nodded rushing back inside to get a book. " Look I haven't been able to train any pony else to work on this. That would mean you have to work on parts of the gate in the front and back. The entire bridge needs some work. I doubt it will be standing in a couple of years."

Bowser’s eyes looked around. " Hmm, I doubt it would even last a few more years. The gate needs some reinforcement the struts of the bridge need some work. Some of the buildings look like them about to fall and the pips for your bathrooms are clogged."

June snorted. "I refuse to work with shit. If you want someone to be your shit cleaner you pick Drift. Since she has properly had someone's shit in her mouth."

Drift stares at June. The orb in her chest had no idea how to read her emotions. "What the hell June?"

"Hmm? You mate with whatever you see Drift... What do you expect me to say hmm?" Drift snorted. The mare brought the book it was a large book but it had everything in it on how to mix cement and were to get the wood and anything to help fix this bridge.

" Take this and read it. I warn you though the lumber and cement yard is blocked. It used to be connected to the town. But we had some nasty creature's take over that part of the town."

Bowser took the book and we went off to a heavily blocked off area of the large bridge. This bridge is so many miles long. The door into it had a heavy lock on it. Looking to June. She snorted putting her steam horn's on the lock using the steam to melt the lock. " Your lucky you have me." She smirks.

000000

We walk into the blocked off part of the bridge. Everything seems very well kept. But these creatures are no were to be seen. There are old bones and blood from ponies then we heard nasty howls. A large evil dog-like creature came out of the buildings. They didn't seem very threatening but they had some nasty looking claws. I stood back along with the others. But Bowser stood in front.

" Listen we come in peace." The leader of the creature's steps forward at our friend. He had strange robotic parts all over him. But there was something wrong. Bowser acted as he knew them. "Dad...."

" Bowser?" The old dog came up to him sniffing him tear's fell from both their eyes and they hug. " What did they do to you my son?"

"Ponies known as the Black Hooves captured me and my friends here. But father why are you stealing land from these ponies here?"

The hell hounds sighed. "This town used to be full of raiders. We helped clean it out for them but instead of giving us anything in return. They locked us behind here. They also fed us in the meat of raiders. Why you see the blood here. But then we hurt the workers that were trying to rebuild the bridge so it wouldn't fall."

Bowser snorted in anger. Rushing back out the door. The three of us followed him to the bar. "Hops who is the leader of this town?!"

Hops sighed. " White hat is the leader of the town. I think he’s in the bar right now.”

A large stallion stood up after hearing his name. The black stallion walked over to us. He had a giant hat on his head. I have never seen such a hat. He bowed his head in respect trying to show he is kinder than most.

" First why did you lock my family behind a wall?"

White hat sighed. " Look back then I was young I wasn't the boss of the town yet. My father was and he was a bigot most of the town has some bigoted ponies. So I did that for their protection as well as our own. But if needed I am willing to let them out. But I do warn you if I do those ponies will attack them."

"My friends and I will take care of them," I tried to stay calm. It’s getting harder because I no longer feel like I am flesh and blood.

0000

The wall's around the hell hounds are slowly taken down by the town's folk but what looks to be the ones causing the issues are one's not even part of the town. They come with weapons. But my friends and I stand in front of them. June has her armor fully on. Bowser is holding a shotgun. Drift's orb on her chest is bright red showing her anger. She is ready to smash them if needed.

I stand in front of my friends. "You have no right to harm these creatures."

"We have every right to. This world is for ponies only." June didn't care that there was no fight. She just charged her horn stabbing through the stallion that was speaking. Tossing him off her horn turning to the other ponies who had a large amount of fear in his eyes.

I quickly used my abilities that I trained others in back then to fight. Using my metal hooves to bruise not kill the other ponies. But Drift of course didn't understand her anger or her might. She smashed her hooves into one of the ponies breaking his neck.

The ponies didn't know how to act with us. They just gave up. I doubt they wished to fight a group of creatures that had strange abilities like us. But the issue's with these abilities they were more harm then helpful. Bowser starts to speak staring at the ponies attacking.

"Enough my family means no harm to you or these ponies inside this town. Are you ponies that full of hate that did nothing wrong but clean this former raider’s town of raiders?" The ponies looked at each other and they lowered their weapons. "They wish to help fix this bridge along with every inch of it to make sure it will be standing for more years to come."

I softly spoke. " Eh, these ponies have no idea what peace is. All they care about is the old hatreds of the past. Allow them to die at the guns of those that wish to remove the hate of the past. I will do it myself." I snorted slowly walking away. "They don't deserve to be in a world of peace like we used to be. They will never understand that peace comes working hard for it."

"Wait..." The leader of them said's. A very young mare who looks to be sad and upset about this. "We."

"No, I won't listen to your ponies," I said. " Go find something to murder."

June snorts. "I agree with giving worthless beings like you another chance is not worth our time," June said.

"Just go don't try to impress me or anything. Just go. While we work to fix your home." The ponies that did the attack going back to the bar. I and the others walk into the yard to do our work.

The walls were removed from the yard. Wood and metal were taken to rebuild some of the homes or reinforce them. I made drinks for the workers. The Hell hounds lifted strange platforms that helped the ponies to repair the struts and what they could of the bridge.

Drift flew down and gave drinks to those from there. Bowser looked through each weak spot on the bridge marking them with a claw to make sure they know what spots need to be fixed. June used her steam to heat parts of the metal so they would be easily placed.

Drift even got to use her newfound might to break some of the rotted parts down then kept them up. They had to make her angry though. So June kept insulting her from above. " You are nothing but a worthless slut," June yelled. Some stallions and mares looked at this with a bit of unsure how they would take this.

As for me, I worked with Hops to just make the drinks. "Tell me miss Rose what was the past like?" I sighed not sure if I should talk about it using a strange device I learned I have in my new hooves that is like a mixer. I would have to think of a way to explain.

"Well, the past was pretty peaceful. Ponies respected the fact you were different then they are. But some of them were pretty silly. The higher up's felt they were better than everyone else. That's the sad thing we had to deal with in the past. But that's what we had to deal with. Now I was around before the war happen. But the Zebra's did start having issues with ponies before I was frozen."

Hops nodded. " I am sure you feel bad that you were used for this strange test of these devices on you." I sighed softly looking towards the way we came from then back to Hops.

"We had a group known as Steel Ranger's looking for us. Do you think they would come this way to find us?" Hops smiled laughing softly.

"Eh Steel rangers refuse to use our bridge to get through here. They have their bridge not far from us. But in a large casino like five miles from here is were the Raider's are holding up. They attack us almost every week trying to break through the door."

It's late at night me and my friends are pretty tired. But we stayed in the apartment to rest. Drift was in the shower. Bowser was cooking for us and June. She was pacing around. She didn't like to just sit and wait. She wanted to do something but she is willing to wait. But as for me. I lifted a book to read it. We would have to do more work on the bridge but a lot of the big issues have been taken care of.

"GAH!! I can't stand just being in here sitting doing nothing." June kept pacing she was getting very upset. " I need to find someone to kill or to stomp on or.."

"Dinner!!"

"OHH!!" June rushed to the table to sit in one of the chairs. I stood up sitting there as well. Drift came out all clean and laughed. " Yes, Food something to eat yes."

Bowser sighed putting down the food. it didn't look to be that interesting a lot of it looked old but it was an old food that had so many preservatives. We calmly ate to ignore the world around us for the moment. But what's odd that we needed to rest to be.

June calmly went to a bed she lay down closing her eye's snoring deeply. Drift looking to Bowser smiling at him nuzzling him. "Goodnight Bowser." Bowser nodded she went to the other bed to sleep.

"I caught her in the middle of having sex with a mare. I don't understand but when the mare left she told me that.. she didn't understand why she did that with her. But it was fun just the same. I am starting to wonder if we need to find another terminal to turn off some of those features in that device. But I am going to get some sleep."

I nodded laying in a chair trying to sleep with this computer in my brain. The pony Ai showed up in my vision in pajamas. The silly Ai tried singing me to sleep.

"Oh, hush little Zebra don't you cry." The Ai sang.

"Oh... shut up you." The Ai folded her forehooves
