Fallout Equestria: Sparkle-World

It's your mission, as chosen by the Overmare.....

The mare came to, in a daze as she heard voices talking. Her head hurt and the sun was in her eyes, or at least what could reach though. She was moving, slowly moving. She quietly groaned as she attempted to lift her body off the bottom of this... cart? No, it was a cage on wheels, and a couple stallions were conversing to themselves. Fuck, they were raiders.

"Ey look." One of the raiders finally took notice of their captor. "Looks like 'ittle Dweller is awake."

"Hit yer head pretty hard, luv." The other smirked. "Don't worry though, we'll take good care o' ya."

They both started to cackle out is sick manner and continued back to the path ahead. The mare quickly looked at herself. Still clothed, good. Then she pulled up her Pip-Buck an quickly scrolled through her inventory. Empty. She sat back, literally having nothing but the barding on her body and the reliable device on her fore leg. This wasn't looking good.

~Some Time Earlier~

The Overmare stood if front of the mare, proudly smiling having personally picked her. The mare was scared, she hadn't been out of the comfort of the Stable before. The Overmare started to hand the mare some items: A couple of healing potions, ammo, a pistol, food, water, and a pair of binoculars.

"As Overmare of Stable 42, I have tasked you with one mission: Find a new source of food for the Stable." The Overmare announced after giving the mare items she felt was needed.

The mare was confused, but no time to rebuttal.

"Should you succeed in your mission, you are to immediately return to Stable 42 where we will extract the location from your Pip-Buck." The Overmare grinned one fake grin....

~Now~

Her memory was broken at the sound of gunfire.

"An ambush!" One of the raiders yellled as they hid behind the cage/wagon.

"By who?!" The other asked.

Being a unicorn, the first whip a scoped rifle from it's case and looked up, his eyes going wide. "It's HIM!

The other's jaw clenched and grabbed a knife from its sheath and bore it with his teeth. Charging out and heading off to the front of the wagon. He just barely made it a few meters away before streaks of light turned the stallion into pink ash. The mare had followed where the streaks come from to gaze upon another armored stallion. The armor had covered him from head to tail, showing no signs for slowing.

The only raider left took aim with the rifle in his magic, then squeezed the trigger. CLANG The armored stallion didn't slow, only a spark from where the bullet hit. CLANG Another shot hit his visor and did nothing. She could see a bit better now the armor was red, with white detailing. The Armor-clad stallion rushed by her and threw his entire weight in a bash.

The raider went down, knocked out cold. The armored stallion just stared at the raider then kicked the other's jaw, ensuring he wasn't getting back up anytime soon. The stallion then turned to look at the mare in the cage. Taking a few steps back from the cage. She didn't need to see his eyes, she could feel his stare on her.

He then charged the cage, his entire weight hitting the wagon and tipping it over. Fuck! He's gonna kill me! The patchwork on the bottom of the wagon was shoddy at best. Raiders were more for looking fearsome than making something worth while. Nothing a few good bucks can't handle. The stallion turned around, readying himself for the work.

BANG

BANG

BANG

One of the metal sheets came loose, then a another buck sent it into the cage. The stallion peered inside and groaned internally at the sight: the mare was knocked out. He took a closer look at the mare and finally saw the blue barding and device on the fore leg. A Stable Dweller, Alive? The stallion put his fore hooves on the other pieces of metal and pushed, popping it off and tearing it away. Then heading into the cage and grabbing the mare. He slung her unconscious body on his back and left the scene.

The raider came to hours later. It didn't take him long before he started to panic. His body was sore and he couldn't feel his jaw, but he pushed on and ran off. He ran until he collapsed from exhaustion, crying out in pain. Then he remembered the healing potions he took off the mare. His horned fired up in a magical blaze and pulled one from his bags and popped the cork, pouring its contents down his throat.

Night had fallen and the raider came scrambling through the gates of large settlement. He was pushing slaves out of his way, yelling a name that wasn't quite coming out right as he galloped. The raider stallion bumped into a couple of other raiders who nabbed him and held the pony in place. A hoof slapping him across the face.

"Get a hold of yer self mate!" One of them yelled, a mare with a dirty enough coat that the color couldn't be made out.

"He, he ambushed us! We gotta tell tha Overboss!" The stallion whinnied.

"Who?!" The mare asked, a scowl pointed at him.

"The S-Sparkle F-f-fury!"

Eyes around the raider went wide, and then he was hauled off in a rush. He soon found himself standing in front of a seated unicorn buck with a grayed coat and darker mane, scars marking all across his face. The stare he gave was cold, especially from his dulled blue eyes. He reached a hoof out to the panicked raider.

"And why, 12 Gauge, is it you have the nerve to demand the Overboss? You know they don't see no one for no reason." The unicorn asked, his void like gravel to the ears.

"Well.. uh... Sir.. tha Sparkle Fury ambushed me and Cable Cutter while transporting a new slave." Gauge replied. Unsure of his predicament.

The unicorn scowled. "The Overboss will not like this news."

12 Gauge nodded. "What should we do? This guy's been harrasin our work."

"Well..." The unicorn hummed, ".. YOU should be getting far away from here before the Overboss has your head on a pike."

12 Gauge turned pale and started to hyperventilate. He was a stallion of steel nerves, was. It changed when his ass was kicked by a pony in armor. A legend no less. 12 Gauge just started to scramble out the door, neither wanting to feel the wrath of the Overboss, and praying to Celestia and Luna that the Sparkle-Fury doesn't cross his path again.
