Fallout Equestria: RainFall

There are old stories of Junk Island. There are stories of this island around back during the war. A community of ponies who refused to be part of the war. Other races joined them soon after trying to get away from the war. When they learned the world ended some went back to gather survivors and brought them back to Junk island. There is a mystery on this island. Stories of travelers vanishing. Stories of bodies being found of visitors having every part of their body parts removed of course this is just old rumors and hearsay. They hate heroes and if you’re a so-called hero they will put you in jail.

Written by Cement Block, a citizen of Junk island.

Meanwhile Widowmaker Desert inside Rainfall Project {Wheel Tread}

I have been looking through these files for three years now. I have finally found what I need to do. I keep hearing my way of taking over this land is not working. I hear the Storm King keeps telling me forcing the issue is making it harder. I need blood. I need the two gems from the dagger and the one Luna left.

I take a deep breath letting my wheelchair lead me to the room holding the staff the Storm King used so many years ago to try to take over Equestria and steal the magic from the princess. The system is now fully turned on and I finally see the words Luna left behind years ago. ‘Real friendship can heal this land. Real friendship without heroes can bring back the rain. Heal this land, oh friends never let it go.’ What does it mean? Did I lose my chance when I destroyed the friendship of the heroes? No no, It’s time to fulfill my task to bring this land to heel.

I hear steps come in behind me. I turn to see the ponies who work for me and a smirk comes across my face.

“Master, I have all you need for your task. What do you wish us to do?”

I chuckle softly.

“I want you to take one of the airships and hover near the creation. Take these two gems with you and cover them in your blood and entrails. Then I will do what is needed.”

The leader of the ponies nods lying to his crew about what is happening. He takes the crystals and I head back to the console. I type in and turn on the screen to see the airship made it to the spot I wanted it to be. I watch the leader of them tell them to kill themselves and they cover the gems in their blood. I bring up the spell. It's an old zebra spell called ‘Flames of Truth.’

“Forgive me, my friends. For this is the only way to bring this land to heel.”

I chant the spell out loud

“Izinkanyezi zifuna amalangabi eqiniso. Udrako wokufa udrako woshintsho uveza isilo esizohlabelela futhi asishise. Kodwa kuphela indlela yokusikhulula kukho. Ingcwele futhi imsulwa ezinhliziyweni.”

The spell was cast and I hit the console. Red lighting strikes the ship and a large ball of magic storm forms around the dead ship. I hear screaming as whatever happens. Runes form over the rune many months later I look at the console and see the spell and how it has grown. I see strange bolts of lightning come out of the ball forming into jagged swords. I feel a hoof on my shoulder.

“Neighsay it’s time to stop this.”

I freeze. I know that voice. I turn my head seeing Smoke Pipe tears fall from my eyes. Is it’s Smoke Pipe for real? I turn around touching him and it’s him he is alive he’s alive!! How can one I used to know be alive he's a ghoul?

“Smoke Pipe you live. Wh…why are you here?’

Smoke Pipe doesn't even smile. I can see he is here to see me for what I am doing. I look at the console. I know full well I still want to bring this land to heel and I know I can’t stop it no matter what I do.

“I wish I could tell you but my game is finally over so many years ago. I am not the only one who lives, Dr. Slice is alive as well. He is stuck in a robot shell to show his punishment for everything he has done.”

I changed back to my real look. My body has aged many years. I look a mess and I just keep sitting in this chair to keep me alive. I am so old now and so broken. Smoke Pipe turns to look at the Storm King.

“I am here because of him. He asked me to come and help you. But I see I can’t do anything. You are too far gone. I see the hate in your eyes you had all these years. I see you have no remorse for what you’re doing.”

He is correct. I have no remorse for what I am doing. If I did I wouldn’t have killed Ruby as I did. I wouldn’t have broken the friendship as I did with her. I look back at my heart softening when I learned from Cozy Glow

“You have nothing left to lose anymore I see.”

I glance at the Storm King. He looks at Smoke pipe and his friends. He tosses the keys to his ship, nodding to them.

“Go home I will deal with this the pony way.”

Smoke Pipe catches the keys in his magic sighing nodding and heading off with his two friends and I watch him leave my last chance to say I am sorry to him but I lost the chance years ago. I close my eyes. I know what he means by the pony way of singing.

“Trust me I know the path you’re on. I did it at least I thought I did it for revenge. Then I did it just for the power to turn to darkness. If the only way to get you to understand is to sing like you ponies.”

The music around us plays. I turn to see the console playing the music. It plays heavy music. I don’t want to do this. I never did this in the past. I feel my anger and my hate for the Storm King's heart changed to a pony over the years.

“I have been down this path before you will lose your soul and lose control over yourself. Then realize there is nothing left to lose and you will kill everyone around you thinking all you can do is take over lands and power.”

I take a deep breath.

“The only way to regain control is the Flames of truth and with the words, only the purest can stop the flames of truth. I have lost the chains which kept me down. I have destroyed the words of friendship first with Twilight and her friendship school and because of my hatred and racism of other races.”

The Storm King sighs.

“You see you will lose everything, this song is the only way I feel I can tell you. But you already have lost everything you have nothing left to lose… And I will be with you till the end of the battle and I will make sure you suffer for all the deaths you cause. I will be there with you. For justice will come from both of us.”

I sing my last words.

“Then we both have nothing left to lose. Let it be then This land will conform to my rule or the Flames of Truth!”

The song stops and I cough, grabbing my mask and forcing it to my nose. Maybe it’s time to rest. I look back to the spell. It will be a while before whatever is released. I head to bed leaving the Storm King there himself to deal with what is to come as I rest.

Meanwhile on the island of the exiles. [CranBerry]

It’s been almost many months since Gem left to help Ruby with her task. I worry I may never see my wife again. I do what I can to keep things going and at least I got my friends. It’s a peaceful night at least I hear a knock on my door.

I know my little ones are asleep. I go to the door, open it up and see a mare standing there with a box hovering beside her in her magic. She smiles, setting the box down and bowing her head.

“I have a gift for you from the one known as Gem. She sent this to you months ago and told me to give it to you when she is long gone. It took me a while to find it in our various boxes of old mail but here it is. I am sorry but I can’t stay and talk. I got more mail to give to others.”

The mare leaves and I set the box down. I am about to open it but I hear two more knocks. I go over to the door and a smile forms across my face seeing WaterSpout and an extremely pregnant Inyanga. She is close from what I see.

“Inyanga are you here for an early appointment or is this a friendly visit?”

Inyanga chuckles while leaning on her staff.

“Just a visit to friends. WaterSpout wanted to see you as well. Just the rumors have stopped for now thankfully I doubt we will hear anymore soon.”

My ears wilt and I nod. They both came in and I got off to make some tea for us. I come back with it sitting down with them. We laugh and we talk and I glance at the box again.

“What is in the box?”

I look up to Waterspout

“I don’t know, Gem sent it to me a few months ago before she left. I haven’t got the heart to open it up. I just worry this may be the last thing she will ever send to me. But I know she is stronger than most would ever say.”

Inyanga and Waterspout drink while I take the box open. I see a note reading it.

“My dear Cranberry what you’re able to see when you open up this box are what I found in Rubie's old things I had to buy. She brought these back in Kludgetown but never used them. I rebuilt them for you and used space junk to make them stronger.”

I open the box fully seeing battle claws made for a pegasus to fight. They have an old name in the box: the Disemboweler. I have a new name for my name. I put them on my front hooves. I get in a battle stance looking at Gems battle dummy flapping my wings quickly and attacking the dummy slicing through the Dummy making many cuts and stabs.

“So you’re getting to join the final battle?”

I glance at Inyanga shaking my head

“Unless I am needed for the battle. I refuse to kill unless the need is dire. It seems no matter what my friends, the friends Ruby made will never fight for this land ever again unless it hurts what they created by themselves.”

Waterspout nods.

“If anyone harms my family I will just fight for them. I refuse to care about fighting for my old tribe.”

Inyanga nods.

“I am the same way my tribe will never open their doors again till there is a winner.”

I nod I don’t care who wins this battle. I just know full well the rest of us are going to be put on the stands to turn on Ruby. I know I am going to turn on her and not be able to stop myself from hurting my poor adopted daughter.

“I am sure Cranberry knows what’s going to happen when we are asked to defend Ruby. We won’t be able to because after three years of peace in our lives we can no longer protect her.”

I nod despite everything that happened. We have a peaceful night of drinking tea and when they leave. I place the claw weapons back into the box and put them into the closet. I look at the box knowing I am going to have to use them when the time comes. I close the door to head to bed to dream of Gem by my side.

________________

Back to Ruby

I come into the meeting room while the rest of the crew works on getting the entire ship ready for the workers of Junk island to let us dock on their repair stations. I sit by Melody as the others wait with me. Gem comes in soon after lowering a panel.

“I have been here a few times over my lifetime. The reason I called for this meeting is mainly so you all could keep Ruby from doing something stupid. But I am going to give you some of the big names of this place.”

Gem switches the projector to a large black dragoness. She is wearing power armor made for a dragoness her size. She holds a large hammer and she looks like a no-nonsense female ready to kill whoever crosses her.

“This is Obsidian, the commander of the guards of the entire island. You don’t see the king of the island without going through her. You have to either prove yourself through battle in her arena or go to the tavern and do jobs her guards can’t do.”

She changes the projector to a white donkey in a very showy dress. My cheeks burn bright red at the fact she is not hiding anything. Gem shows many poses of her and it gets even worse and I just sigh.

“This is Loxie, she is the owner of the tavern that doubles as a brothel. If you prove yourself to her she will not demand you sleep with any of her girls. She will have jobs, drinks, and food for you. Each of the owners hates heroes. So please remember you’re not a hero.”

She changes the projector again to Minotaur standing in front of a large forge. This male Minotaur has his left arm missing and on it is a hammer and it seems he is a blacksmith. I worry we are heading into a place of some nasty creatures.

“This is their blacksmith, Anvil. He is the one we will be meeting. He doesn’t know we are coming to see him. So we need to make up a lie and that is where you come in Ruby. Melody is ready to change how she looks?”

I am confused.

“Why change how I look?

Melody sighs.

“Well, my love news has traveled fast about you. They didn’t hear the news that you’re dead and they only know a pink magic eater left the land and the rumor is she is leaving death and despair in her wake.”

But that is not true…

“That is not true at all. I didn’t leave any death and despair in my wake. What is going on?”

Gem sighs.

“Ruby there is something you don’t understand. Ever since Scootaloo and the other heroes. The time of heroes is coming to an end. The time of villains is slowly ending as well. To a certain point of view, you’re the threat, the villain is the hero who is fighting back against the hero and their trash sense of justice. It’s the only way to protect you.”

Gem switches the projector to another. From what I see a zebra mare wearing heavy skulls and looking up from her brew.

“This is Green Dust, the doctor of the island. I am focusing on these main ones because these are the main focus of this island. Others could be powerful for all we know. But these are the main ones that control most of this island. If you get sick or need help she will be the one you go to.”

Gem switches the projector and there is a golden-dressed creature I have never seen before. He has a heavy crown and his legs are bent and legs looking like they could help him jump. He has powerful arms that look ready to destroy you.

“This is Jumper his species are known as Roos his kind used to be stupid and dumb. But thanks to the war and everything that happened during it his kind mutated like many of the others and now he runs this island after killing the others.”

She goes through another projector.

“The power goes through him to Obsidian then goes to the others. Others get this power as well but I know nothing about them. Since they never show themselves. Now there are many mysteries on this island. You will not be here to solve any of them because we are just here to get the ship fixed and then we will be on our way.”

I sigh if we are just here to not see anything or do anything why are we leaving the ship at all then? I try to ask a question but I can tell Gem knows what I am about to say.

“The reason you and Melody will be leaving the ship, Ruby. Is because there is a place where you two can get married. Also as well to keep you out of the way of those working on fixing. Because I know Ruby you will get in the way and want to help and cause more problems by saying you’re a hero.”

Gizmo raises her hand in the form of a question.

“Question from me though. Why does this place hate heroes so much?”

Gem changes to the projector to show why. It looks like a hero came here years ago and caused a big stir and many problems.

“An unknown hero came here a few years after the war. The hero tried to dethrone the king because the resistance hired him to do so. When it failed they made a law anyone who calls themselves a hero is to be killed on sight for causing fake hope.”

I sigh Melody pulls me to the sick bay so she can work on me to change my color.

“Melody I got a question. Is there a way you could make the color change permanent?”

Melody nods.

“Cranberry and other doctors after what your adoptive mother did over the three years. She found ways species like you can have your bodies changed. She even found a way she could change not only your color but your face as well and your body a bit. It would let your magic system work with you.”

I sigh looking down at my stomach. I know inside me I got eggs forming in me. I don’t feel any movement and I know full well they will be eggs. I guess my instincts to make a nest won’t be happening for a while.

“I worry I will be forgotten by my friends someday.”

Melody stares at me, sighing.

“Love no matter what I will support you. If you don’t wish to return to Widowmaker I won’t blame you. If you wish to go back to your island and leave the Storm King to his devices. Just find a ship and leave.”

I am surprised she said this. She is right. I have no right to call myself a hero. I should just head back to the island or find a new place to live. I shift feeling a needle being placed into the exoskeleton and I watch my leg change color to blue.

“Now Miss Topaz are you ready?”

I chuckle weakly.

“How long will this last?”

Melody puts away the needle and the color. She looks at a paper to see how long it will last.

“It will last forever unless I inject you with a cleanser. The only other way it will go back to normal is if you drink too much magic.”

Too much magic? I am a magic eater and I need to eat magic to survive. When my body starts giving my magic to my little ones. I will need to eat more and more. It’s not going to be an easy life since I know I am holding the one I thought loved me. I am lucky I found Melody or I will be so alone on this trip to Dream valley.

“Melody how would you act if I tried finding a boat to convince our Panna friend to come with us and we got the rest of the way without the others.”

Melody sighs, shaking her head.

“Ruby, I understand how you feel. But is it wise to suddenly just leave the others? Many of them uprooted their lives to come with you. Do you feel you can’t keep going with others?”

I take a deep breath buzzing out the air. Every time I have others with me including the one I love I feel very guilty about it. I feel I need to go on the rest of my journey with just me. I know I may not survive the rest of the way. But it’s the only way I feel I can handle this.

“I just don’t want others to die because of me.”

So many died because of me I brought so much hope to each land I have come to. In the kingdom, we just came from many deaths because I was there. So I could fight to free the kingdom but now I see why so many are starting to hate heroes.

“All the deaths are not because of you Ruby. I was told by Rassie that many would have fought even without you there. Just without you, their things could have been much worse. Just I know you have so much guilt for every death you see.”

I sigh deeply it doesn’t change how I feel. Beezen comes into the sick bay with my armor. The color has been changed; it's now just a simple light green color with the name blocked out. The visor has been changed and it’s still the same armor.

“Gizmo fixed everything for you and upgraded the armor and the systems. Now when your armors connect to your sockets you won’t get any pain. You will be able to carry more in those arms now are you two ready to go on ahead? You two will be meeting the dock owner who we will be paying to repair the ship.”

I blow out air putting on the armor unsure what to think. After I put the armor on. I look at Beezen through the new visor. I don't know what to think anymore but I have a feeling it will be harder to understand.

“Come, my love, let's see what we can find.”

I sigh deeply flying in the air beside Melody while we head to the dock leading us outside of the ship. We are floating right by the docking bay of junk island and it seems we won’t be getting any repairs till we talk to the dock foreman or owner?

“I will do all the talking Ruby. I will tell them you’re a bug of many words.”

Great now I can’t speak I wonder if it’s because I could say something stupid. Melody and I fly over to the docks. We land on the docks. I look down at the docks noticing it’s made from various parts of old ships and even some weapon parts. I glance up as a zebra mare comes up to us. She is wearing a hard hat.

“How can we help you two?”

Melody smiles.

“We are a ship of treasure hunters. We have been through various storms and the old battleships and strange green smoke. The smoke destroyed most of our ship's ability to fly. Are you the owner of the docks?”

The zebra mare chuckles.

“No, come with me.”

The mare leads us into a warehouse made of various parts. It’s a factory we watch while many creatures work on fixing old parts making ammo and armor out of them. She leads us up the stairs and she knocks on the door two times.

“This better be worth it the door is open.”

The zebra opens the door letting us in. She closes the door behind us and we look around. Dark red eyes open up a growl deep in the darkness.

“What brings you here?”

A light turns on and we see what the heck we are talking to. I stare at the creature it’s a fucking cybernetic shark. The shark stands on its cybernetic legs as he smirks at us showing his many sharp teeth.

“Tell me what you want before. I have my next meal.”

I gulp deeply glancing at Melody. She doesn’t even look scared; she bows her head in respect to the large shark creature. The shark sits on a chair that seems to be made just for him. I glance around seeing paintings of each of the leaders of various areas. I have a feeling the power comes to him as well.

“Greetings great and powerful BloodBath.”

Wait, how did she get his name? Then I noticed the nameplate on his desk. He laughs darkly but doesn’t seem to do anything.

“My wife and I are treasure hunters with a large ship of many other treasure hunters. We are searching for Dream Valley and our ship needs some repairs. You great and powerful shark.”

Bloodbath snorts.

“You don’t need to praise my pony. If you want me to repair your ship all you need to do is tell me you will pay me and my workers. Now before I do anything for you are there any heroes hiding on your ship? I love to eat heroes. Their sense of fake justice is amazing to the taste.”

Melody snickers.

“We don’t allow worthless heroes near us. Their sense of fake justice is nothing we want.”

The shark stands up. I notice the gun on his back and he looks at the two of us. He hits the mic system on the wall to speak into it.

“Everyone, we will be working overtime to help these nice folks be on their way. Anything else you two need?”

Melody thinks a second and nods.

“We need to find a blacksmith. My wife has a weapon that needs to be repaired. Can you spare anyone to lead us there?”

Bloodbath nods. Hit the speaker again.

“Can anyone find Clover? We need her to help some customers find the blacksmith.”

After a second a green mare flies in. I stare at her wings. I know those wings. I heard stories of these types of ponies. She is a fluttery pony from Dream Valley who looks over at Melody and me.

“I got news for you, Clover. These two are looking for your ancestral home Dream Valley. Maybe they will find a way so they can come back and take you to Flutter Valley.”

Clover chuckles.

“If the stories are true I am sure they are. I doubt it’s even alive anymore. Without the Sunstone the entire land of Flutter Valley will be dead. So good for you if you find it and you will never be able to heal it.”

Clover looks at me and Melody.

“Are you the two who I will be leading?”

Melody nods.

“Does the one beside you speak?”

Melody looks down at me and then smiles.

“My wife has many talents but speech is not one of them.”

Clover smirks.

“I doubt you’re telling the truth. I think it’s more she will shoot her mouth off and get you two in trouble. But eh no worries anyone can shoot their mouth off here. As long as they aren't some bloodsucker hero.”

I take a deep breath trying not to speak. Clover leads the way as we follow the flutter pony through the trash-made city. I look around noticing there are no homeless or hungry. I don’t even see street performers. It’s a normal thing at least from what I am told. I never saw them in Widowmaker since it gets so hot there.

“Excuse me, Clover, I got a question.”

Melody looks down at me shaking her head. I lower my visor to give her a look like please let me ask this. Clover stops leading us, turning to look at me.

“Yes, what's up?”

I put the visor back down.

“I don’t see any homeless hungry street performers asking for a handout. Is there something I am missing?”

Clover frowns after a second then smiles.

“That is because they’re below the city. For those who can’t work for those who are lame and sick and expect handouts are left below. Before you go all bleeding heart on me or the other way you could just get them a job. It’s been this way for years that laws change and they will return to the top of the streets. But right now it’s best this way to keep things clean and simple. Now, are there any more questions about how we live?”

I shake my head.

“No.”

Clover nods.

“Good I was worried I would have to call Obsidian and put you in jail where you belong. But we don’t need that.”

She comes up to me looking into the visor

“Do we?”

I shake my head again.

“No no, we don’t need that.”

Clover giggles.

“Good now, come on.”

Clover leads Melody and me through the town and we watch many people selling drugs and weapons. Many sell food and when we get to the red light area of the city many ponies are screwing each other and it’s amazing how heavily sexual this area is. Clover quickly gets us through here and we get to the worker district and leads us into Anvils store.

“Anvil I got some guests who are here to meet you!!”

I look around looking for the MInotaur and a large smash and laugh while the large Minotaur comes out of the backroom he tosses a box of ore to the side and laughs loudly and jolly.

“OOOOOH, Guests?! Welcome welcome to my store. What brings you to my humble store.”

Melody knows why we are here. I don’t know why we are here.

“Greetings, I am Melody, this is my wife. We are running a large airship while we find a path into Dream Valley. I was told you’re the one who we need to talk to about upgrading our weapons on the ship?”

Anvil smirks.

“Ah, I see I will have to see what kind of weapons you have. Then I will do what I can. I can’t promise anything.”

Before the deal is over the door opens behind us.

“Ah Obsidian, what brings you here?”

Melody and I turn around and I stare at the large dragoness she walks over to me and Melody stares at the two of us. She lowers herself to look right at me. I try to stay silent about the fact I am sure she is here for me.

“You two are from that airship in the bay correct?”

Melody nods.

“Yes, we are here before we head to our next destination, Dream Valley.”

Obsidian looks at Melody then back at me she takes a deep breath sniffing me.

“A magic eater. One who seems to be from the island of Majesty I will never forget the smell of that bitch.”

She is from the island I am from?

“You’re from Devils due?”

Obsidian smirks.

“Yes, I left before the war ended. So tell me what happened to the island?”

I sighed, shaking my head.

“Majesty was finally brought to justice. A pony known as Star Shooter showed up and fulfilled the legend. Even though the legend turned out to be fake she still fulfilled every detail of it.”

Obsidian stares at me.

“I see now are you planning on staying long?”

I gulped trying to speak but Melody finally took over.

“We will stay till our airship is fixed. Then we will be on our way. We will do nothing to upset your king.”

Obsidian nods.

“It’s not the king you should worry about. It’s the others in the power tree. With how big your ship is it’s brought some interest from the king himself as well as the others in our little power tree. So we are putting a heavy guard on your ship till you get ready to leave.”

Melody nods.

“I hope we haven’t caused any problems by showing up.”

Obsidian shakes her head.

“Not just there are some desperate few who would use the ship to try to harm the king. With how our laws are it’s not easy to help every single creature below there. I wish we could do it. But the king’s hands are tied; it would take a lot to change the laws. You would have to convince those in power to help change the laws. If they can’t work or are lame they’re worthless.”

Thankfully the visor hides my anger. I want to rage. I am sure Melody knows how I feel she shakes her head at me.

“Now I have one request for you miss Obsidian I would like to know the best place to marry my wife here. We have been together for so long on that ship she asked me to marry her there. Can you please lead us or should I ask Clover?”

Obsidian smiles.

“I can't, sadly I need to do what I can. But as long as you two or anyone on the airship causes no problems you’re welcomed here as long as you wish. Just if you see any of the king's guards and they ask you to come with them, do it. Because it means he wants to see you. I am sure Clover can take you there.”

Clover nods.

“I would be happy to take you there. The church here worships the princess as a goddess but we all know they aren’t. Just I think it’s the only way some can handle this broken world. I am not going to tell them how to live their lives.”

We finally got two of the tasks done. The next task is for me and Melody to get married finally. Clover leads us through the city again while we see a large church made from various stones and when we go inside we see an Alicorn with a bunch of other ponies and races working the church.

The large alicorn comes over and bows to me and Melody.

“Greetings”

The Alicorn looks at me. I suddenly hear words in my head. ‘Hello, I need to speak to you alone. Tell your wife you need to set things up.’

I gulp deeply.

“Melody I need to speak to this Alicorn.”

Clover looks confused. I am wondering if only certain people can hear Alicorns talk to them in their heads. I remember being told Majesty created my kind. So we could hear her in our heads and she could read our minds. I wonder if others could do the same.

“But why can’t she speak with me too?”

I chuckle softly.

“I need to make sure everything is a surprise for you and we can go get you a dress. Maybe Clover can take you to a tailor to get a dress for you. Maybe you can get a tux made for me since you know my size and everything.”

Melody nods, Clover leads out and the Alicorn with wings asks me to follow her to a confessional booth. I take a deep breath. I know what these are. I have seen them so many times. She leads me to the back and locks the door so no one hears us.

“Creation of Majesty, your thoughts are screaming at me. It seems everything you scream in your mind is guilt pain and the feeling you’re at fault for everything. I wonder if you know if the path you’re leading yourself down will be nothing but blood and death? The stars want their blood and you haven’t been giving them enough.”

I took a deep breath removing my helm. She knows who I am now and I can't stop her from reading my mind.

“What gives you the right to read my mind?”

The alicorn smirks.

“If my goddess was still alive, little Ruby. I would have told the others in the unity about you. But I am no longer connected to unity or the goddess.”

I am confused and she reads what I am thinking and she explains everything to me about everything. The unity little pip and happened over the years. She even tells me more about the stories of what happened than others have.

“I see I understand now I guess. Just why do you care about me? I am a creation of a real Alicorn one who would look at you like you’re a threat. I know what path I am walking. I know what is going to happen to me when the final battle is over.”

The alicorn hugs me tightly. I feel myself about to sob. I cry loudly enough that all the halls hear me. The wailing of a weak bug full of sorrow and pain. The sorrow and pain are just going to keep filling. There is no way I can allow myself to be lost.

Soft gentle music plays through the halls. The alicorn slowly sings.

“The future is a future paved in black. There are many ways you can’t turn back. There are no ways you can go back on a simple word while the clocks tick and twang. You follow the path and follow the song. You see you have a lot before you. Your loving finance all those who love you even the ones who will turn on you. You know you can’t turn back you must keep going forward.”

She is right, all I can do is allow the song to drift from my soul.

“It’s time to move, it's time to fight. There is no way I can lose control now. I need to fulfill my task and bring the stars of life and love back from despair. I need to show I got nothing left to lose. I need to fight for the stars and give them their blood and make sure the ones of peace return. When I see Dream valley I shall sing the songs of old.”

The songs of old I close my eyes feeling the songs of old Majesty has sung before.

“Ring out the old

Ring in the new

Time for major alterations due

To hope we much cling

Let the bell of freedom ring.”

The alicorn smirks.

“The songs of old shall bring us peace for those who have not lost their view. For most, they don’t wish to live forever in this endless life. You must dance for us, Ruby. You must bring in the ending of this battle ahead. I may not see the end for I shall stay here and pray in the name of the goddess of old. I shall never forget and then it’s time for your wedding.”

The song ends. I take a deep breath looking back at the alicorn who bows to me. I worry she will tell others about me. She smirks knowing how I am feeling. I worry she will have to tell others about what she has learned. But I can’t allow that to happen now. I need to get this wedding going.

I got the wedding set up a few hours later. Everyone I have met on the airship and made friends with is in the crowd. I stand on the podium looking at all my friends. Beezen is in the crowd and even Gem. I look to Dust, who is mine in the world's best stallion? Gizmo, Rhyolite, and Mellow they’re Melody's bridesmaids. The Alicorn I met is the one who is going to marry us Gem was going to but I have a feeling she feels this is better.

The music plays and Melody comes down the aisle, her long dress following behind her. We made sure it would be my fake name who she marries. Then we will go back to the ship and marry again in my real name. She gets to the altar near me with a gentle smile forming on my face.

“We are gathered here today in Luna’s wonderful night. Even though Celestia's lovely sun is down. We honor this marriage in the princess of night's glory. Now I know you two have made powerful vows to honor Luna’s night.”

Melody smirks as she is the first to go.

“Topaz when I first met you. I wasn’t sure what to think of you. Now I see the gentle soul that I fell in love with at every step. I will do everything I can to make you happy and ready to enjoy your full life with me. As we grow old together I see you becoming more and more my soul mate, my love. With our kiss, we will seal the deal.”

I take a deep breath trying so hard not to let my face turn bright red from her words. I learned it’s normally the bride who blushes, not the groom. I take a deep breath again trying to regain my words.

“Melody I see the beautiful mare I see every morning you make my day and night a wonderful dream. You have saved me from my dread and my sorrow. I know you will follow me to hell and back I will never be lost.”

The alicorn smiles.

“Now the rings.”

Beezen comes up with the rings. They’re nice-looking rings and made on this island. Melody takes hers and puts it around my neck since I can’t wear it on a pony can.

“With this ring, I proclaim my love to you.”

I put her ring on one of her wing feathers and I chuckle softly.

“With this ring, this magic eater shows her love to you.”

The Alicorn smiles and her horn glows and the fake sun and moon glow from the sun outside bright showing the love between us.

“If no one has any problems with these two getting married then hold your peace. Now you may kiss the bride.”

Melody and I kiss then many hours later after the kiss we are back on the ship and in another room, since the others have seen the wedding it’s just me Gem, and Melody. We do everything at the same time and this time it’s my real name.

“You know what I am going to say, it's time for you two to get married and enjoy your wedding night.”

Melody and I kiss and we go enjoy our wedding night in our very private room. We have a wonderful night of our love while we hear the working on the ship and the upgrading of our weapons. We were told we might be here for at least a month. I fell asleep after Melody wore me out.

Junk island Throne room.

I sigh listening to the others under me as they argue about who these guests are.

“They could be here to help the weak below or force laws to be changed.”

Obsidian argues.

“I highly doubt they would come all this way to deal with that trash. Maybe they heard of my lovely brothel and want some fine lovely sex.”

Loxie smirks laughing.

“Or they just heard of my power and want a piece of Bloodbath.”

Bloodbath the robotic shark laughs.

I lift my hand to silence them.

“How about we continue this meeting another time? I am getting tired and I have a feeling we will know more about these guests later since they will be here for a month.”

The others nod and get up and leave. I take a deep breath hearing steps behind me and I sigh.

“It seems you were correct.”

The figure behind me chuckles and I turn in my chair.

“What can you tell me about these guests?”

Coming out of the darkness I finally see how it is. It’s an Abbinssyin with a strange lizard creature who I learned can shapeshift.

“I will have to have my minion infiltrate their ship when he comes back he will tell me what you can do.”

I smirk.

“Thank you, Catrina. I am going to take my leave and get some rest.”

I watch the fool of a king leave to get some sleep. I glance down at Rep. I sigh softly. I am upset I have no magic going through my system.

“Are you sure this is wise to do Catrina? You promised the ponies of old and Williams you wouldn’t allow yourself to be reliant on Witchweed ever again.”

I laugh softly.

“The ponies of old are dead. Williams herself that silly girl is no longer alive herself. Her bones are bleached in the ruins of that lovely estate her friends lived in. Now go Rep and don’t come back till you have my information.”

Rep shifts into a hawk to fly off out of the castle. I watch him fly off laughing to myself. Growling feeling so weak.

“Soon I will find my way back to Dream Valley and find my old slave the Bushwoolies and make more Witchweed potion and never lose my way again. A judge of old shall sing and I shall never lose again.”

I turn my large dress waving with me and I head to my room to rest to wait for the time I get back to my home.
