Author's Note

Well, before getting this party started, as Pinkie Pie would say, I would like to say a few things now. The original Fallout Equestria is written by Kkat and I will attempt to stay as close to her vision of the Wasteland, I mean really who would I be to think I have the right to mess with such a great story. On that note My Little Pony is the property of Hasbro and Fallout is the property of Bethesda. Also, this is loosely based off a game off table top Fallout of Equestria rpg system my friend and I put together using the open license D20 system. So, I know there will be a few crazy outlandish moments, but they were done within the confines of a structured system and happened due to extreme luck (read really good dice rolls) or a lot of planning and setting up by the player who accomplished the action. Now, with all this out of the way I hope you enjoy this story.

Prologue

The Story Teller

The night was dark and had a chill to it, and the five ponies huddled around a fire as they laughed and talked while eating an evening meal. The Wasteland was no longer such a wasteland anymore, not since the Gardens of Equestria. DJ-Pon3 was not on the air tonight having taking a slight vacation to celebrate Little Pip’s birthday. Four of the ponies were heavily armed, especially since raider activity had all but died out in the past fifteen years.

The steel grey unicorn mare with the blue mane suddenly goes quiet as the rust color pegasus was asking her a question. “Homage, did ya hear…” The pegasus trailed off as he noticed her expression of shock. He turned quickly along with the charcoal colored unicorn mare next to him and the two ghoul ponies sitting opposite from him.

At first the shadows shifted and writhed in an unnatural fashion this caused all the ponies to grab for weapons. As the shadows began to coalesce into a shape it looked as if a dragon was heading their way, but as it seemed to keep approaching the shadow kept shifting. This was crazy they had no idea what anyone, pony or otherwise, would even be out here this far from everything or this close to dragon territory. After a few seconds the charcoal colored unicorn spoke up “Who are and do you need any help?”

After a slight pause the shadow finally stopped shifting with a pony silhouette just before the pony was illuminated by the fire. A purplish-blue mare walked in with a traveling cloak, one that seemed right out of a Swordmare comic, with the hood drawn down. She stood taller than two of the ponies stacked on each other. Her eye though slightly obscured where a deep pool of azure. “I am sorry to disturb you good ponies. I was just about to make camp over yonder and noticed your fire. I have no traveling companions and thought perhaps you wouldn’t mind if I joined you this Luna blessed evening?” she replied with a questioning tone. Her voice seemed to hang in the air for a second as the other ponies tried to gather themselves.

The pegasus was the first to react with a slight chuckle lowering his weapon, “Ah’m sorry about that ma’am. Ah think we all thoughtcha was a dragon that had wandered far from home.” The strange mare chuckled slightly at this.

The charcoal colored mare looked horrified when as she fumbled to but her combat shotgun away, “I am so sorry, I just got jumpy. We haven’t seen a pony out here before and the firelight was playing tricks with your shadow. I am Velet Remedy and this here is my husband Calamity.” She pointed a hoof towards the rust colored pegasus, then pointed to the other. “The unicorn over there would be Homage, and those two would be Ditzy Doo and Lion.” She pointed her hoof at the other three respectively. First, the steel grey mare who had put a revolver with three apples on its handle away gently, then the greyish colored ghoul pegasus mare, and finally the white colored ghoul pegasus stallion sitting closely with Ditzy Doo.

The blue mare smiled and lifted her hood with a bluish glow around it from using her horn, her red mane a stark contrast to her coat. “My name is Starry Skies, I am a simple explorer come from the border between old Equestria and dragon lands. Perhaps you have heard of old Fort Dragon or the city of the same name?” Starry Skies asked inquisitively of the ponies. Lion’s ears perked up at the sound of the name.

“I KNOW OF THE PLACE YOU SPEAK. PRINCESS LUNA USE TO VISIT THE FORT TO SPEAK TO THE GENERAL THERE. THOUGH I NEVER HEARD OF THE GENERAL BEING USED DURING THE WAR AGAINST THE ZEBRAS. IT WAS RUMORED THAT THE GENERAL WAS AN ALICORN AND SECRET LOVE OF THE PRINCESS.” as Lion finished this last statement Velet, Calamity, and Homage jaws dropped open in disbelief. “IT WAS JUST A RUMOR.”

Starry smiled softly at lion with slight tear in her eye, “I have here on my Pipbuck something you might find proves your rumor to be true. I downloaded it from a terminal before I fled out of the city from Luna knows what. Let me play it for you”

A sobbing voice can be heard. They did it they took out Canterlot. I got there as the missile were still hitting the shield the sisters had erected. I was just about to teleport through when I saw it an explosion of pink gas that radiated necromantic energy the likes of which should not exist. I saw her Luna, my love she, was holding the barrier to keep the missiles from raining down on the fleeing ponies. My magic refused to allow me to teleport in. DAMN IT, why did I leave my protection ring at the fort. A sob and the sound of heart breaking crying for the next few minutes.

THEY KILLED HER NOTHING NOT EVEN AN ANCIENT DRAGON COULD SURVIVE THAT. I AM GOING TO RAZE THE ZEBRA LANDS UNTIL THERE IS NOTHING LEFT AND IF CELESTIA STILL LIVES I WILL TEAR HER SOUL FROM HER BODY. The sound of a full breakdown into another crying fit. Wh-why couldn’t th-they listen. I-I told them to let m-me jo-join the war.

The voice starts clear up the crying slowing down. Another Alicorn with millenniums of experience fighting wars and battles could have saved everything, but even Luna refused to let me loose on Equestria’s enemies. What good is a fortress full of ponies and infiltrators trained to fight dragons that can’t be used against an enemy openly fighting a war against their home? Now, I am stuck here in Stable Omega and only by the grace of the gods did everypony make it in. If it wasn’t for the fact we had pretty much moved everypony in after finding out about megaspells, we may not of had enough time to cast the illusion over the fort and city to try and preserve them.

The voice begins to cry again but this time there seems to be a rumble to it. When I get out of here if I can get her bones back I will try and bring my love back to me. If her bones have been destroyed I know one that might be able to teach me the spell required to still bring her back, but only if she wishes it.

The voice sounding distant. Perhaps I should let one of my captains be overmare until I have time to grieve.

Starry Skies turned off the recording. She raised her face with tears streaming down it her voice hitching, “S-sorry th-the rest o-of it is just m-more crying.” Homage launched herself across the fire hugging the strange mare as she herself let loose a flurry of tears. The other ponies stared all with tears in their eyes but a look of uncertainty.

Velet spoke up first, “That is a really powerful recording you have there, but how do we know it is real? I am not saying you are lying, but that would change the history we have managed to put together. The implications of it could even affect Little Pip’s friendship with Celestia.”

As Velet finished this statement Starry gently pushed away Homage motioning her to sit back down. Wiping the tears away from her eyes she smiled sadly at the group again. “Well, I know it is hard to believe, but it is true. Allow me to tell you a story that will help explain how I found this. It starts a few years before Little Pip stepped out of the Stable……
