Fallout Equestria: RainFall

It’s been so long since anyone has been in my kingdom. I used my device to try to freeze the entire world. My son stopped me and I turned good. Till I watched the other judges kill my son. I turned evil again to get revenge. Then I joined them to take on the real threat of the world—the ponies. Because of them, my son refused to listen to me and now I am here again. Waiting for the hero to get to the Avatar but first I must face one of her friends. I must guard the door or try to. If I lose I will join the Avatar and they will have to fight me again. So I must do everything I can to win.

Amandla’s Room

While I wait for my door to open, I work on my armor cleaning it out and repairing what I can before I head out. I upgraded it so it uses more magic batteries, which are easy to come by now. Since Majesty can make many of them for me. I finally attached my new sniper rifle to the armor. It goes inside the other weapons compartment so I can use whatever.

It took a while but I finally fixed the damage from the war we got stuck in to save the Upholies. I do hope whatever I am doing. I am useful. I heard a knock on the door looking towards the door and lowering my mask.

“Donkey is in.”

Majesty comes in with a box of batteries. I quickly get on my hooves trotting to them and opening the box. Put them into my bags and replace the old ones offering the used ones to Majesty while she repowers them for me. It didn’t take too long, so I placed them into the bag.

“So Amandla. I have been wanting to ask you this question. Why the power armor what made you wish to use it?”

I was surprised.

“Well to be honest I just wanted to go on an adventure and read stories about how awful the waste was. So I gathered everything that came to Junk Island and then when I learned things aren’t as bad I just thought of being a guard for the king.”

I am getting ready to get inside. I made sure though my food stores were ready the waste system worked. So it can give back the water. I hate the taste but I do what I must when it comes down to it. I turn back to Majesty with a smile on my donkey face.

“I am sorry I ruined most of the peace by having Ruby wake up Omega. I am sure somepony else would have found a way to wake him sooner or later. But he is needed for this task. I hope you and the others are up for the task of talking him down from his target. But there is something else I need to tell you.”

She sighs.

“I know you’re a former member of the Order of Mimic.”

My ears perk up.

“How did you learn this?’

Majesty sighs using her magic to move a spot of fur on my side. There is a symbol seared into my skin.

“Only the mark can give off the magic of her light my friend. I have been feeling it ever since you came here. Mimic is here and she knows one of her followers is here. But she doesn’t understand or know how evil the ones in the other lands are.”

Evil? She is correct; the order of Mimic changed many years ago. I heard stories that they used to help so many, but they have been doing things to take over powerful lands. They tried in Equestria, but many areas don’t agree. But some parts of the hoof accept them. Some parts of this widowmaker desert, I am sure have. I remember Jumper telling me they tried to return to Junk Island. I think they’re still there, just silent.

“Reason I say this… they work with the Pact, the group trying to find ways to bring Grogar back to the world fully. So after the war is over stop Wheel Tread once and for all. I will be joining to help Grogar so when we meet on the battlefield again my donkey friend. I will be trying to kill you?”

I grab a gun from my side using my hoof to hold it to get ready to fire.

“What happens if I end you now?’

I tried to fire but when the bullet went out of the gun a strange shield made of stars or what looked like stars stopped it. The power of the stars, the omen of the stars, the Zebra feel it’s real. So it is true. The old villains of this land are the judges. That is no story, it's all been true. So the stories of the stars are the reasons for the war. The Zebra’s must have been right all along.

“The stars have their game to play. Right now if we would fight you would surely lose. The stars of war are too powerful. It’s why heroes only can complete their tasks sometimes. They find a way to break the hold of the stars. This is Grogar’s will; he wants the stars to return to normal finally. I am going to tell you the reasons for this and you will never tell the others.”

Majesty closes her eyes, sighing.

“Years ago Grogar tried bringing his city to Dream Valley pony land. He stole all the unicorns and placed them in a cell when they winked in his city. It took Megan and the others to escape. With a song singing.”

She uses her magic to show the ponies of old with the humans singing.

“Let the bell of freedom ring.”

Let the bell of freedom ring, and they kept singing. It was the song that we hear in many stories from the descendants of the ponies of old. It’s something that most of us have heard all our lives. I heard it on Junk Island from my father and my great-grandfather. Maybe the song will be sung again and then we can finally end evil once and for all. I doubt it will end once and for all. It’s a sweet thing to think of but we must do what we can.

“Then It seems I must do what I need to. I will get inside my armor and gather my thoughts but I worry I wonder. What should I do when It comes to it? Before I get inside the armor, is there anything I should know about the place I am going to?”

Majesty chuckles

“All I know is the frozen north. I hope you have heaters in that thing.”

The heaters are great. It will take at least six to seven hours for it to charge.

“I guess I better go sleep for a bit. I know the others haven’t left yet and it may take them time to get their doors open.”

Majesty chuckles

“Well, some of the areas they’re going to are stuck in different times. So hours here could be days for them. I hope you understand that some may be gone for a week or even longer. We don’t know till you see them again.”

I shake my head. I hate time magic. It’s been an issue for so long. But this is normal in this land. Dream Valley had heroes who went back in time to deal with the issues of a spell.

“I feel bad for the heroes of time. Who lost their lives because of the time travel spells. Now I am going to get some rest and take care of Majesty.”

Majesty nods.

“Take care Donkey friend, I will have a meal ready for you when you get ready to head on your journey.”

I smiled at the Alicorn.

“Thank you, Majesty. I hope to never have to fight you when the time comes. I know full well when the time comes it will be hard to fight you.”

Majesty nods.

“I hope not to fight you too. But get some rest and you enjoy your peace till your door opens.”

Majesty left and I lay down in the bed I was given. The light turns off and I stare at old paintings I finally take a look at. I see ponies of old and the one known as Megan. She looks older and ready to fight a war. I have a feeling this is the last time she was even seen.

Closing my eyes I have a dreamless sleep.

________________________

Seven hours later.

I just had a very normal dreamless sleep. It’s been a while since I had a good rest like this. The airship is wonderful. But it takes so much time to get to sleep because of the sea air. I hear a knock on the door.

“Your door is open. I will be waiting for you downstairs with something to eat. Be prepared please and I am sorry but I haven’t heard anything from your friends. Ruby is getting very worried. I hope you understand and say nothing to her.”

I slowly stood making sure my power armor and everything else with my weapons armed and primed. I make sure the heater works to keep the core going. I check my drugs for healing and many other things. They’re all good. I get into the armor heading down the stairs. Seeing Ruby waiting by my food. I get out of the armor to get my food before I go. I sit down by the bug eating. I haven’t seen the other three. I am not going to bother them; they might be doing other things.

“So Ruby you doing alright?’

Ruby shakes her head.

“No, I am worried I finally learned who got me in this issue with the stars. A mare named Desert Rose. She got me into this issue during her old journey. Majesty is going to help me confront her. But I doubt I will be able to remove this journey from myself. She told me the stars will want me dead during the fight with Grogar.”

I shake my head. I don’t know what I am going to be doing after this journey. I finally finish eating and I notice Majesty filling my armor with more potions as well as injections to keep my body warm. She places food into the compartment as well.

“Alright, Amandla. Get going but I warn you. What you’re going to be facing you won’t be able to take on alone. You need to try to get him to come to the final battle with the avatar of the stars. If you anger him enough he will go join you for the final battle.”

I shake my head using the remaining food, and placing what is left in the compartment that turns the food into a type of drink. I add water to the system after and get inside. I put my helmet on and looked towards the door I am meant to go in. It leads to what looks like a cavern. But looking deeper inside with a light I see what looks like a button to open up the cavern to lead to the frozen waste.

“I will return when it allows me to or when the way to the heart of Pony Land lets me go.”

Heading into the cavern the door closes on me and I click on the button the cave wall moves opening up to a frozen cavern. I take a deep breath taking in the air my system gives me and close my eyes to take the plunge.

The frozen castle

I don’t know how long I have been here. The sun has at least gone down and raised three times. I don’t know how I feel. I haven't been able to get any sleep. So I am allowing the drugs to keep me awake. Finally, though, I found the location, and before I could even get in. Suddenly I get stopped by a bunch of birds and they surround me.

“Halt in the name of the king!!”

I took a deep breath to relax

“I am here to find the lock to the heart of Pony Land.”

The birds take a look at each other lowering their weapons; one who looks like they’re in captain armor comes forward.

“You must be the one Majesty told us about. I warn you it’s best to go in guns blazing and kill the rebels. The rebels joined the king and now we are lost.”

I lower my helm, taking it off for a moment to let the cold all over my face for a moment.

“Why wouldn’t it be wise to keep them alive?”

The Captain shakes his head.

“They’re no longer alive. He killed them and used a spell to bring them back. The only ones who are alive are hiding. He still allows us to live because we are useful. I can’t explain right now why he is like this. He used to be such a good king. When you take care of him you will learn.”

I put my helmet back on, arming my mini-gun on the armor and the soldiers opened up the door for me. I take a deep breath, charging in quickly. Many of the undead creatures turn around hissing at me. Quickly I fire my mini-gun while they charge at me firing what looks like arrows and spears.

All of the weapons not only bounce off me. They can’t get through my armor. I leave undead bodies in my wake. It’s been so long since I used this gun it’s overheating but I can’t stop now. I quickly charge with the soldiers following me taking out what I left behind me.

I think the king knows I am here. The minions are getting much worse. They’re getting armored now. I quickly changed to my sniper rifle. Arming armor piercing and fire quickly. The creature screams and burns. My weapon is not only touched by the moon. It’s used to destroy those touched by the stars. I have a feeling it’s not going to be as easy to know if it fully works.

Charging through the dead bodies with my armor. Using whatever power I have left in this armor. I break through to the throne room. The king stood up and laughed.

“Well, I was expecting the bug. I am sure she told you what she saw. The coming storm, the coming stars to win the battle for the true side.”

When he says these words I see a strange image of a blood-red ball opening up and a couple of words like a song.

“To all of my children in whom Life flows abundant”

That is what I hear and then quickly break through it. My mind is stronger than Rubies.

“You want the bug?! She will be at the final battle or you can take her on during the battle with the Avatar. But before I allow you to leave I must do this.”

I fire a bullet from my sniper rifle. It doesn't hit him, it goes right through him and he laughs softly.

“I figured you would try to kill me. So I already left this is just a magic recording. Bye, my friend, and please.”

He frowns.

“Make sure my people take care of themselves. Tell them I am sorry for what I did to them. When we meet again the good side of me will be fully gone. Take care Donkey and please win.”

After a while, the soldiers came into the throne room, and from what they told me. When he left all those he brought back from the dead fell for their last rest. So many dead I wish I could help them.

“We need you for the final battle, think you could come and do so?”

The captain gives a very weak smile.

“We can. We need to help our people. We just need a few months. Then we can follow. But we will need to get a new leadership to take over and get our people back into their glory days. I am sorry for what you had to go through and if you want the lock. It’s in the king's chambers. I will lead you there.”

I am led through the halls of the castle.

“The reason why he turned to evil. His son got sick from the ponies brought from Megna’s world. So many died including his son. He never wanted to become evil like he did. I am sorry for what you had to do for us. He used to be called the great king. Now he has become a judge no one is allowed even to say his name here. It brings bad luck. Now I hope you do what you must and please stay safe. Many creatures might take advantage of the king being gone.”

He unlocks the door for me. I head inside and it’s oddly very warm inside here. I get out of the armor letting it cool. I will work on it later.

“I will lock the door just in case desperate ones of our kind try to harm you.”

The door closes back up and I look around seeing the paintings of the king and his son. Then I see Megan and the other ponies. But he didn’t harm the painting. I see the words beside the painting. ‘Forgive me, Megan.’

I walk towards what looks like the lock and put the hoof inside hearing the lock turn and finally, my journey is complete for now. I close my eyes at what feels like time-stopping for me or at least how Majesty put it. Time will stop for those who use their locks.
