Fallout Equestria: RainFall

The land of Bumbleland. It used to be the land of the Bumbles, the bees who weren’t welcomed in Flutter Valley. But even though they were welcome again the queen of them turned on the Flutter ponies again and killed most of them. Most of the time when we killed those who deserved it for harming our queen. No, the ponies never deserved this. Sadly this time I felt the same as the others. I stood over the body of a dying Morning Glory, a friend I made so long ago as I killed her. She reminded me of the past. I wish I could have stopped myself but what the queen says goes. I wish I could take it back but I can no longer. I heard stories of what Soft-heart found in our old home. It breaks my heart at what she saw and found. I wish she could forgive us for what we did but it was the past.

I know that is not wise to keep saying but in the past when we were minions of a judge of the stars our queen still is a judge. But now she regrets so much of what happened. It’s how we know fully what is happening.

Soft-Heart the Dragonslayer’s room.

I had my armor off my large body, closing my eyes and feeling able to relax for once in my life. Being back home it wasn’t easy to relax, always feeling the world was ending. The fact we float on a floating land and our leader kept us away from the normal world. Looking around the room I notice the queen of the bumbles, those bee creatures. I have seen them before but I know nothing about them.

I head to the bed to rest. But before I can I hear a knock. I was about to sleep. I wasn't used to this time difference. I have been living in that floating land of the dragon slayers for so long just a change of time is hard for me.

“Come in?”

Majesty opens the door and smiles sweetly at me.

“I haven’t seen one of your species in so long, Soft-Hearted. I thought the ponies of old killed all your species. Is there something that kept you all alive and stopped this from happening?”

I just shook my head.

“We just stayed away after the war between us and the ponies. Then we watched while the world ended. We did what we had to do just to survive. We brought ponies who wished to live with us during the old days. We even saved some of the ponies from the end of the world.”

Majesty gives a quick nod.

“So it will be a while before your door opens up. I hope you understand you’re the final heart to go to the key. Then the battle in my creation's life will finally end. Sadly I know full well she will not have a happy ending.”

I shook my head and I knew this as well. I have been told how she feels. I know the poor little bug is not going to have a happy life after everything is said and done. I wanted to rest a bit so I could be ready for my time.

“I see you have a moon-touched weapon.

I gave a laugh

“I have had it for years. I knew sooner or later from a vision I had I would be facing those of the stars. It’s not something I was hoping to see in my lifetime but I lived long enough to see it and I know now it’s time to get ready for whatever I will face. Do you know what I will face?”

Majesty gave a sigh

“There has been a spell placed on the land of the dead walk and they guard the door. The only way to stop them is to get to the one causing the dead to rise. It’s a necromancer left there by Grogar. They have been walking there unchecked for so long. They are even getting ready to attack the rest of the land.”

Necromancer I am going to be facing one who raises the dead and uses them as puppets? I am starting to understand why I got the weapon of the moon. Why during my vision I saw myself fighting the undead. I don’t remember much after it, I just know the battle will get to the end of the journey. I don’t know if I will die or I will live.

“I see I knew something about the undead would be in my future. So I made sure to train to fight the undead. It’s why I had this weapon made and went to the mainland in the old days to get a gun. I haven’t used it in years but I trained with it. Now before I do anything else have you been able to keep track of Omega?”

Majesty sighs.

“Yes, Omega landed near the path heading to Flutter Valley. I placed a spell on the way in. Omega won’t be able to fly or dig under. But the spell will end after several days. I sent a magic warning to Rose Dust to tell her to hide. But she refuses to so you need to go as fast as you can. It’s best to do what you can and how fast you can end this before the last hope for this land dies.”

Great, just wonderful. I have no idea how to fight an old creation like Omega and how we are going to talk the creature out of killing Rose Dust. I am sure Ruby has been told how. It’s the only way I can do it. Now I lay in the bed to rest and feel myself fall asleep with Majesty still in the room.

I could feel her using a spell to make sure nothing bothered me, not even the sound of the awful storm outside. The storm hasn't stopped since we got life back into this land. I have a feeling the storm is trying to bring full life back. I have a feeling the bigger issue is that there hasn’t been a storm like this for years.

A few days later

It’s been a few days since the time is very screwy here. The others had left and I saw the door open one by one. Ruby spent most of the time writing a letter. I even saw her leave to go back to the ship to talk to Gem and the others. Mellow even told me she is staying with her children. She will never see those children again after this journey.

After so long I hear my door open up finally. When it does, a couple of undead creatures come out of it. I take my spear and Ruby takes her swords and we fight them off as they spill into the castle.

“Quickly take them out I will cast a spell to make sure they can’t rise ever again!!”

Ruby and I fight off the creatures while Majesty does what she can to cast the spell. It took a while and finally, the spell was cast. The cavern heading into the Bumble land is finally free of the undead. I took a deep breath getting ready to go.

“I will return.”

I glance over seeing Ruby. She took off her armor and gear. The poor creature hasn't even given a smile since has been here. I think her life is not going well. She is worried about her wife and her own life. Her family and her friends back home.

“Ruby.”

She turns to look at me.

“Yes?”

I give her a weak smile.

“Thank you for coming to my home and doing what you did. You brought this old girl back to life and gave her a time of hope.”

Ruby just looks at me after a while. I couldn’t tell if she was smiling. But the look in her buggy eyes made her happy.

“I did my best for you Soft-heart. I am sorry for what I did to your home. Now I need to be ready for the end of my journey. It’s never going to be the end, it's always going to be the hope. The end and the journey. I know when my journey ends my life ends. Thank you for helping me give me wonderful hope and dreams.”

I just stare at the poor bug. She knew her fate and I wish I could stop this fate. I head into the door and gather what I can heading in and the door slowly closes. I look around heading through the cavern seeing no more undead and finally get to the location.

The dead land of Bumble land.

A book opens up quickly before the story continues. I am Sting. I have been asked before the story continues in the vision of Soft-Heart. You will learn so much about the Bumbles. You are allies when you read this during the Battle of Grogar. We are not your enemies. Our Queen refuses to join Grogar. Please when you get to this part of the story. Don’t turn on us, we will join you in the final battle. The Silver Trial needs us and the Silver End will come. Respecting what we did for the past is not the future. Now back to your story.

I get out of the cave into the dead forest. When I get into the dead forest I hear screeching and screaming. Seeing pony bones and bodies broken and melted into the ground and trees reach for me and scream for help.

“Help us….save us.”

I close my eyes, taking a deep breath. Oh, this is awful. I figured the ponies would be a weapon to give fear to who comes here. So I did the next best thing, grabbing my spear, the moon-touched weapon. Forcing the blade into the dead they scream so loudly when the magic leaves their dead bodies.

“I am sorry for the past.”

While I do this I face the bodies of the former Flutter ponies. I watch them come towards me so many of them. So many of them are dead and I feel if I do this I will finally free their souls. I quickly charge through the bodies of the dead ponies. Who try to use their bodies and teeth to dig into my flesh. Thankfully I have enchanted armor to deal with this thanks to my visions. I slice through each of them, each spirit coming out.

“Thank you… I am HoneySuckle.”

Bows her head, vanishing. I keep so many of the others. So many of them I can’t name them as I write this. Then I see one final one in a wooden cell. She is so broken and butchered. On her bones, she had been tortured and I feel I need to speak to this one.

“Sting?”

The voice of a female speaks up.

“I… it's been so long and empty. I don’t know what happens to the world around me. I just hear the empty land.”

Morning Glory. I know the story about this one. She was famous in pony history. A flutter pony who helped save Flutter Valley in the past and gave many Flutter ponies hope. Now I see this broken mare. Betrayed by her former friend and killed by the ones she saved so long ago.

“I am sorry. It’s been so many years my friend. The world died in a magic green fire. Your land got stuck in a time-travel spell. It caused it to be cut off from the rest of the land. It took heroes from the outside to destroy their own lives to break the spell. Even so, when the Avatar of the stars is destroyed this land will become part of the normal world again.”

The body of the dead mare looks up at me with her empty eyes.

“Rose Dust still lives. She left us to die. Many of us are asleep now in the hidden mountains of Flutter Valley till a new Sun Stone is placed back in its hold. By Doing so this land will return to the world at large. Not just the Avatar of the stars, the sun and the moon must be back in balance. Take it from the magic of the Alicorns. They’re the reason our land is destroyed.”

Before I could speak, finally the master of this land landed beside me. Quickly I turn around seeing a Flutter pony covered in Skulls. I just give the stallion a look. A flutter pony why would a Flutter pony do this? Then before I could do anything a flash of white hit me. After a while the flash ends and I finally see the real creature.

A human. I need to end this spell. I can't let them use their words or their mind. I quickly charged with my spear and the Necromancer didn’t expect me to just charge. He quickly chants a spell forming a sword of bones and blocks the attack pushing me back.

“How dare you?! I was going to speak to you about why and all this!!”

I laugh.

“I know your kind necromancer. I will never let you speak and tell me some story of why you’re like this or what happened to you in the past. You’re my foe I am not a fool and I am not going to allow you to cast your curses. So die with your kind and never return.”

The human found this funny and he laughed.

“Wow someone finally not just accepting what I am. Come on then let's see who has the best power. The power of the dead or the power of…The moon?!”

I quickly lift my spear to toss it and the moon glows on the runes. It shows the name Hope's arm and I toss it at the Necromancer and he tries to block it with a spell causing it to stop for a moment. I quickly grab the spear and force it into him and he screams in pain breaking through the death spell and killing him.

The death magic has built so much in his body. When he explodes it causes me to crash into a tree and he starts screaming and melting. The smell of his body turned into green fluid. While the body melts. I see the lock finally and I look around seeing the land slowly turn from death to start to heal. It will take years for this land to heal. I take the spear out of the ground, lifting the key lock. Looking over to the old throne of the queen. It is shaped like a door and I place it on the chair and stab my spear into it and close my eyes. Opening them watching the spirits of the flutter-ponies finally be free. I wave at them while Morning Glory cheers with the others and they finally go home. For me, I wait for the time spell to stop me and wait for Ruby to finish her task. I shall be there to fight for her.
