Fallout Equestria: Return Of The King

I was in a elevator heading to the primary hanger of the Flutterwest stable. Krieg and his new militia corp arrived this morning, after a basic medical checkup and a feast to repair their malnourished bodies, they where outfitted in basic titanium flak armor, and given a standard issue lasgun.

I heard the ding of the elevator as I reached the hanger, the door opened and as I walked out I smacked into a maroon colored unicorn cyborg mare, she jumped into the air, frightened at my sudden impact and then she collapsed onto the floor, her hooves covering her face as the mechanical limbs protruding from her back flailed in all directions.

“Mechanica, I hope I did not startle you too badly.”

“Oh... BLOOD RAVEN!” she screamed, “i'm... i'm sorry, did I hurt you?” she said timidly.

“Oh... there is nothing to worry about, i'm fine,” Mechanica has always been a shy pony, but when around her father Skitarii, or lord Edward she is a brave, compassionate, and calm young mare, but otherwise becomes a timid paranoid and apologetic filly.

“Mechanica, what are you doing here?” I asked

“Oh... Edward put me in charge of base construction, I am to repair Flutterwest chapel, and to build more manufacotorums and to build a base for the militia, and... ”

“That's enough... remember I was at the meeting too.”

“Sorry...”

“Wait, Mechanica would you mind helping me purge the raiders, Edward said that you cannot start construction until the raiders are dealt with, and you sound like you already have everything planed,“ I asked the kind mare.

“Wait... you want my help... you really want my help!” she screamed in delight, “I'll go get my weapons,” she said as she darted off out of the hanger.

Well, now I have two arbiters, one mechanicus, and myself another arbiter, I say that i had enough to purge some local raiders.

I pushed the button on my communicator and ordered the others to come to the hanger, the first was Grey knight, he had a chainsword and a bolter levitating next to him, the second was bloody rose, she has a heavy flamer and heavy bolter mounted onto her saddle, I had a meltagun and a bolter, then Mechanica came back with her weapons, mounted to her back via metal arms was a radium carbine and an arc rifle.

“Good, everypony is here, now our first target is due south of here, the second about a mile east of the first and the third is north west of Flutterwest, I have packed food, drink, and extra bolter and flamer ammo... and Mechanica's weapons should never run out of ammo.”

The rest nodded and we began to trot over to the stable door.

...

Half way through our walk over to the first raider camp Grey knight asked “Why are we all unicorns, i'm a unicorn, you are a unicorn and the two ladies over there are unicorns.”

“Edward said to bring a mostly unicorn team, he needs the other ponies for other jobs, the earth ponies strength is being used to haul the materials from the mines to be used in construction, and the pegisai are being used to scout the area for anything good or bad near the base.”

We where almost to the first raider camp, we where mostly hiding in the trees, Mechanica's guns glowed and almost gave away our chance of surprise but we managed to get by without notice, I could see the camp through the trees, four raiders where sitting by their campfire, three others where patrolling along the outside, I could see five more in the buildings, and one off in the woods behind the camp.

I signaled Mechanica to fire, she aimed her radium carbine, with perfect accuracy she shot one of the patrols right in the torso with a wave of radioactive energy, the target collapsed in radioactive pain, the rest came running in the direction of the screaming raider.

They fell into our trap, Bloody rose fired her heavy flamer at the group of ponies, two of them died, the others ran as soon as they saw her, I floated up my bolter and tore one of the retreating raiders into pieces, two ran back to the camp, one got his head removed by Grey knight's chainsword, the other got away, Mechanica ran after the raider back to the camp, I got my meltagun and burned away another raider.

Mechanica found the raider hiding in the camp, he fled onto the metal roof of a shack, Mechanica aimed her arc rifle and with a blast of lightning, electrocuted the poor raider, back in the ambush Bloody rose tore down three other ponies with her heavy bolter, their remains now splattering the first raider, still screaming from the pain of radiation poisoning. Grey knight trotted up to the last raider and tore him up with his chainsword. Back from the direction of the camp we heard the final raider get killed by Mechanica's radium carbine, as the first raider finally died of radiation.

We scanned the primitive camp for anything of use, everything we found we either already have or we could make in the manufacotorum, Myself and grey knight inspected the inside of one of the shacks. it was disgusting, vulgar paintings littered the walls, painted in what we could assume was blood, there was a torn mattress in the corner and all sorts of random objects lining the floor. Understandably we wanted to leave as soon as possible.

When we where about to leave I turned around behind one of the shacks, I saw a pony, he was burned and unrecognizable, but I could tell from the cuts around his sides and flank that these raiders where eating him, I almost wanted to vomit, but knowing that all the raiders where already dead made me somewhat more comfortable, and I used my meltagun to burn away the rest of the body.

We reached the second camp, but it was deserted, we could not see a single pony anywhere in the camp, the buildings where still intact, or at least intact enough to assume that nothing slaughtered the raiders for us. Then I remembered that some raiders attacked the village that Krieg saved, presumably this was where they came from.

My communicator started to make a beeping sound, turning it on I heard Edward's voice from the other side “How's your progress Blood raven.”

“Good, we have destroyed the first raider base and the second was already abandoned when we got here.”

“I have sent Krieg ahead to destroy the third raider camp for you, it will be a good test of his militia, the death korps of krieg, he has named them.”

...

Myself and the other militia where marching towards the raider village, I hated raiders, they murdered my friends and family, they raped and burned my village, but now I was given the chance to fight back against the raider bastards. Krieg was leading all fifty of us, we all had the same uniform, metal armor and a dark red trench-coat, a gas mask to protect from any poisons in the air, and a type of magical energy weapon called a lasgun, Krieg and the other priesthood arbiters say that they aren't as good as their weapons but is the only thing they could produce in large enough numbers.

The raiders heard us coming, there where at least twenty of them, the started firing their guns at us, we did not have the same magical shields that the arbiters had, and a few of us where gunned down before they got to cover. Krieg screamed “FOR CELESTIA, FOR THE PRIESTHOOD AND ABOVE ALL ELSE, FOR LORD EDWARD, DIE!!!” as he charged at the raiders with his chainsword, I looked around the tree I was hiding behind, the raiders where firing wildly in all directions, I got hit a few times but the bullets bounced off of my armor.

I fired my lasgun into the hoard of raiders, my aim was off a bit and I only blew off a raider's leg, my second shot was a bit more accurate. The rest of the militia was also doing well in the battle, we had pushed the raiders back into their village and I was hiding behind a fallen tree, the raiders tried to hold us off but we had the technological advantage.

Some of the raiders tried to run as soon as they saw we had overrun them, I fired my lasgun at one, the shot tore open his side and he bled out, Krieg was taking shots with his bolter and killing quite a few, still some raiders got away. Krieg stood atop their dead campfire and screamed “This place belongs to the priesthood!” as he stuck a flag with the priesthood's iconic golden sun symbol. The battle was won.

I wonder how long it will be, before word of our existence gets out.
