Fallout Equestria: RainFall

There are many creatures in this land. Gizmo learned this when she met us so long ago. The power Gizmo found is something she never expected to find. The moment she came to find us. She knew full well why we do what we do. It’s no longer the way to become what is there. I am just a simple creature like the rest of us. We aren’t rat creepers. We are rats made by magic and we live by magic.

Dream Castle before leaving.

It’s been a strange couple of days since we got to Dream Valley or Ponyland as they call it. Wicker and I have been given a room to ourselves. Oil didn’t wish to come to the castle; she felt it was too evil for her and the other camels. But she felt if we wanted to make our love between the three of us a long-term thing. Wicker and I needed to get to know each other better.

The first day I spent working on parts of my body parts I needed some upgrades before I went on this journey—the journey of finding the heart of Pony Land or Dream Valley. I am very unsure it’s starting to make me wonder though.

“Caps for your thoughts Gizmo?”

I glance up, turning my head a bit in the chair of course this chair is not made for me. I don’t wish to complain and upset our host Majesty, it's not wise to do so.

“To be honest my love I am worried about my love. I know fully that when this journey ends we will turn on Ruby. It’s something I felt deep in the back of my mind. We will be forced to betray her and she knows this too.”

A weak smile forms across Wicker's features.

“Kirin’s learned years ago Gizmo to fight for family. I know sadly as the pirate in my heart we will have to turn on her for our own lives. She gave this world what the other heroes gave hope. The issue with hope and being a hero is you cause more problems than trying to help solve them.”

I let out a sigh.

“I am more worried about those children of hers and how Melody will handle it. We all know she will be the first one to be told to betray her wife. Are we ready for that? Are we all ready to see the poor creature who did so much for us fall like a worthless creature to the power that be?”

Wicker nods

“Are you ready to go on a journey without me?”

I turn around in the chair to fully look at Wicker and a gentle smirk forms across my turtle features.

“Wicker I have been on my own for so long it’s sometimes hard to know what is real. I am older than you and Oil. I am a race who will outlive you. Unless I find ways to make you live as long as me. I know Ruby is going to do this for Melody. She is going to infuse her magic eater life span into Melody. It will cause Melody to watch her wife die and she will live on knowing what she did.”

Wicker is about to speak when there is a knock on the door.

“Excuse me, ladies, may I come in?”

I turn my head to the door. Majesty wishes to come in to speak with us. I wasn’t sure what to say so of course Wicker did it for me.

“Please come on in.”

The door opens, and the alicorn waltzes into the room. She stares at the two of us and chuckles softly.

“Melody just left for her journey. Gizmo in a few days your door will open. I am sorry if I am invading though. Just I got something I need to ask you two. I have been asking the others if they knew about this.”

I turn my head to Wicker looking back to Majesty.

“What do you mean?”

Majesty sighs.

“I found a letter Ruby has been writing. It’s a letter she hasn’t even told her wife about. Do you two know anything about it?”

Wicker shakes her head.

“I know she has been writing something. I just know about those parts. I fear what It’s about since we all know her fate.”

Majesty frowns.

“I am hoping I can stop her fate. I knew full well when she finally did everything she was meant to. The stars will finally let her go but they will only let her go when she gives them her blood.”

I just nod, lifting my sledgehammer. I have been adding to it. I have placed a rocket exhaust on it that I found in the junk in Junk Island and I felt I could use it to give me stronger attacks. I stood up knowing it would be my time to go soon. I gather my armor, placing it on me this armor I made over the last few months during our journey. A power armor-like armor nothing like our Donkey friend of course.

“Let me know when it’s my time to go. I am tired of sitting here doing nothing. The journey on the airship left me antsy. I want to break some skulls.”

Majesty snickers.

“I see why Wicker and Oil love you.”

Wicker smirks

“I love her because she listens and doesn’t judge me for what I did in the past as a sea raider. I did what I must to survive and to survive you do things most never wish upon others and the time we must know what is to see.”

I give a quick nod. We heard a strange alarm.

“Oh. Melody made it through her journey. It’s your turn Gizmo.”

I stood up, gathered my gear, and headed down to the many doors when I got to my door. I notice the symbols on the door are of strange rat creatures and Megan and her friends. Following a journey, I would follow myself.

When the door opens up I let out a sigh.

“I am not sure what you will find there, Gizmo. But please stay alive. I want you and your lovers to have a long peaceful life.”

I turn my head smiling at the Alicorn.

“I will be fine.”

I hold my hammer tightly. I am not sure what to expect during this journey. I walk through the door looking back while it closed behind me. It finally locks and I feel trapped but I can’t allow myself to worry.

________________

The rats of Dream Valley.

I don’t know how long I have been in this cavern. I smashed a couple of heads though of strange creatures trying to barrow into my body. I don’t know what these worms are called and it’s starting to worry me. These creatures are so hungry.

I stomped through so many of their nest while I walked through this cavern. I kept getting attacked while I smashed my hammer down. I didn’t know while lifting my arm though one of them tried to get into the flesh under my arm. I screamed in pain feeling them trying to go through.

I heard heavy gunshots and swords slicing. Looking up, I saw rats, the rats from the image of the door.

“Hurry, follow us, you're lucky we heard you!!.”

I quickly followed as quickly as my body would allow. When I got through the way the large rat helping me took my hammer and smashed the cavern wall to smash the way in to make these creatures can’t get out.

I stood there panting. I felt weak from many of the attacks of these creatures. They used a strange fluid and when it hit me it made me feel sick.

“What…are those things?”

The large rat chuckles.

“What remains of a curse. Now let's get you out of here.”

I weakly smile following the rats outside they’re heavily armed and trying to make sure none of the creatures made it. When we got out in the sun though I noticed a pony doctor. Why is there a pony here?

“A turtle creature hmm? You wouldn’t happen to be those visitors who helped bring life back to this land with a song?”

I gave a weak nod.

“I am Gizmo. I am here with a magic eater named Ruby. She came from an island called Devils Due to a desert far from Equestria itself.”

The doctor smiles.

“Ah, so Equestrians came to this land? I see my family left before the world ended. My family found its way to this village and… Gizmo, are you okay?”

The large rat chuckles.

“She fought the worms in the cavern.”

The pony looks worried and quickly uses her magic to look me over. She gasped.

“She has been bitten and quickly get her to my clinic.”

I let out a painful gasp. I felt my body going into shock and I fell to the ground. I don’t know what is going on. But I felt something get injected into my side and my world went dark. I don’t know how long it was. But I woke up in a bed looking around and noticing a strange jar with worms inside it and a bunch of eggs.

“Oh you’re awake so you made it through the worst of it.”

I look at the doctor and back at the jar.

“What are these things?”

The pony frowns.

“A curse well more a creation made by the witches of the Volcano of Gloom. They found a way to control the bodies of the dead with these worms. They would take over your brain and if you’re alive they would not only turn you into their nest they would eat you from the inside out. You’re lucky since they injected you. You now will be free of them and they will never bother you again. All of us have been bitten by them one way or another.”

I slowly sit up grunting.

“I have a journey. I need to find the second lock to the Heart of Ponyland.”

The mare opens her eyes widely.

“I see.”

Slowly getting out of the bed. Looking at the mare a weak smile formed across my turtle-like face.

“Forgive me if I don’t ask your name. But I need to get on my journey. But I have one request to ask you.”

The mare looks up at me.

“I don’t know if it hasn’t already started or not. But a war is going to be happening back in the land we are from. We are working to get the stars of hope and justice back into the sky. We are going to need help.”

The mare smiles.

“Well come with me, you can talk to the leader of the village. They’re the only ones who will let you go to the ruins.”

I shake my head looking at the table and finding my armor. As well as my hammer. I put it all on and sighed deeply.

“I am known as Dove. If you help us we will help you. So follow me to our leader's house.”

I didn’t argue and followed her to the main house. The two of us walk in and the leader is wearing a mayor outfit. The rat looks at me from his table as he is talking to other mice. He lifts his hand and stands up.

“You must be the one who came out of the cavern. How can we help you?”

I chuckle.

“I am searching for the second lock to the heart of Dream Valley. Do you know the location?”

The leader sighs.

“We do, yes it’s in an old building, a former villain our ancestors faced with Megan the hero of our land.”

Dove walks up to the leader and whispers in his ear.

“I see you want our help as well to deal with a war. Tell me about this war.”

I just said one word.

“The judges of the stars are there.”

The mayor blinks

“The judges I see. So every creature in this land will follow you to get revenge for what those judges did to our lands. But we need your help first before we let you go to the lock.”

Give a smile. Shifting on my turtle-like legs, my metal one clicking as I do.

“Name it.”

Dove chuckles.

“I will take over from here. The ruins are full of thieves and bandits. They stole so much from us all we need you to do is to kill their leader. If you kill all of them then it wouldn’t be much of an issue. But these bandits or thieves as most would call them used to be part of this village. During the judge's attack so long ago. They took a couple of our soldiers and they became bandits.”

I give a quick nod grabbing the handles of my hammer tightly.

“Then I shall do this for you.”

I turn to leave.

“Wait, don't you need the location?”

I chuckle

“No. I heard of this village back from a pony who visited your land many years ago. They gave me an old map just in case I ever found my way here. Her name was Fizzy. The poor pony escaped the attack. Now if there is nothing else I will take care of this.”

I head outside the leader's house, open the map, and notice it’s in a ruined old village called Bright Valley. It’s a couple of miles away from here. Hoof click while they stand beside me looking down to see Dove.

“I am coming with you. I have been told there might be sick and wounded citizens of the former village.”

I give a quick nod.

“I will allow it. Come, it's a long walk.”

Before I left though I turned to see the large rat who saved my life. A smile forms on my face. The large rat gives me a quick nod.

“I am Goliath. I am here to help you with this journey. It's best if it’s just the three of us. I will be following you for the rest of your journey even after. Dove and I got permission to go ahead with you on your airship while we gather the others of these lands to follow you.”

The thoughts in the back of my head I felt a smile from across my turtle face. So many wish to help us, so I have hope for the end of this war. It’s now time to follow our journey. I follow the map while we head to the Ruins of Grey Vale. What will we see there we never know..
