Fallout Equestria: Burning Outcast
Prologue: The start of Hell
Fire. A deadly creature that devours all life. It burns away at the helpless victim till they are nothing, but crisp, and ash. That was the fate of the overmare at stable fifty-seven. During the night of that dreadful night an altercation occurred between her, and stable resident Golden Flare. Having been in a terrible mood when the fight broke out, he made sure to have silenced the screams of pain quick. Once she wasn't moving Golden tried to make sure the overmare couldn't be noticed, and he wouldn't be caught of the dreadful act by using his magic to light the dead Pegasus a blaze. Running away from the scene quickly Golden had forgotten about the security system that would be the source of his downfall. The guards quickly found the body, and put the flaming deceased overmare out. Her body was dark as she was nearly burnt to ash. Though from when the guards put the fire out, they found her to have the neck slit wide open as evident by the bloody splatters on the walls, and the floor of the overmare's office. With the body somewhat preserved the guards soon managed to catch Golden, and brought him to the atrium of the stable. It would be the next day for his trial to begin, as the other residence gathered on both of the open levels. Though the trial was incredibly short as it was held by the stables' top influencers the Council of Seven.
"GOLDEN FLARE! YOU HAVE BEEN CAUGHT RED-HOOFED OF THE OVERMARE'S MURDER. THE COUNCIL OF SEVEN, AND I HAVE GUILTY OF BETRAYING THE STABLE'S WAY OF LIFE! WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO SAY FOR YOURSELF?" Boomed Crystal Bullet, the head of the security team, and the first member of the council. Golden remained silent. To him last night was just a blur, yet there he was on the security footage fighting with, and ultimately killing the overmare brutally. His tears were inwards, as if Golden showed himself crying now to him that would only show cowardice. He did feel guilty despite that however. Jeers, booing, and whispers came out from the crowd that gathered. Some coming from his own friends, and family. They dared not sob for someone so guilty such as him.
"No argument back then Flare? Well then as punishment that is befitting such a heartless stallion such as yourself, is being banished to outside of the stable where you will wallow in nothing, but darkness for eternity! Your body, heart, mind, and soul will fade to nothing in the darkness out there!" Proclaimed the head of science, and Development. Stary Scope the fifth member of the council. Gasps, Cheers, and even more whispers poured out from the crowd. Golden had heard rumors of the outside, but he didn't really believe it was permanent darkness. Guards soon surrounded the captured unicorn ready to escort him to the stable's entrance. Cheers bounced off the gray poster covered walls as the seven council members each nod to each other ready to pass the punishment.
"GOLDEN FLARE! FROM THIS MOMENT ON YOU ARE BANISHED FROM THE STABLE, AND NEVER ABLE TO RETURN. GUARDS ESCORT THIS FILTH TO THE ENTRANCE, AND THROW THE TRASH AWAY!!!" All seven council members boomed as they spoke at the same time. The crowd quickly silencing as the guards lift Golden up, and drag him to the entrance. Minutes felt like hours, and hours felt like an eternity as the sound of twelves hooves tap slowly through the halls of the stable. It wasn't long until the three reached the only way in, and the only way out. Golden's fate was at the hooves of the loyal guards. Loud gears clang, and steam flows out as the door opens to the rest of the young stallions life.
"I swear.....I will survive out there, and show you all...." Golden finally spoke as the door came to a stop. Both guards simply laughed to what they thought were nothing, but feeble words. One shoved Golden as he got a move on to outside the gigantic gear shaped door. Some light was fleeting through the darkness illuminating a set of stairs that were blocked by a wall. The wall kept the stairs out of view of the guards as the door starts to close. Turning around Golden was far enough out that he saw the stairs. Looking back into the stable Golden gave a sly smirk which worried the guards as the door whirs shut. With a sigh he throws off the look which was quickly replaced by one saddened. With a head hanging low with a soft light from his pip-buck he fumbles about to the stairs which gave a better source of light. Trotting up the steps he looked to the outside world seeing nothing, but destruction. Each step sounded clear as day, along with falling rubble, an creaks in the stairs, which only made it feel even more like the eternity that Stary Scope had proclaimed he would suffer from. Unaware of where he was stepping he got to the top. A snap, and a click sounded off as a hefty bit of concrete swings down, hitting Golden's leg crippling it on impact. Folding over in pain Golden let tears of agony fall.
"HEY BOSS WE GOT A DWELLER!" Called out crazed mare. From his teary eyes Golden could make out a group of five other ponies. Two earth ponies, Two pegasi, and one unicorn. The other unicorn was walking forward so Golden could only expect that one to be the so called boss of the other four. A smirk appeared on the leader's face before turning to speak to the mare that summoned them. In an instant pain rained across Golden's right eye as a butt of what looked to be a gun slammed against him fully knocking him over. The last thing Golden saw was the leader mouthing something to the earth pony mare that slowly blurred out as Golden passed out from the pain that had consumed him.
