Chapter 2 A Shut-in basking in the Sun
Help I'm blind! The sun it burrrrrns!
I was stuck not because my hoof got caught on something its because I just saw my father's last moments as the cold twelve inch thick steal door closed separating us from ever being in close proximity of each other ever again. Who cares if I'm almost outside I wanted everypony to enjoy it with me! To think yesterday I said I was tired of safe goddesses please if your going to fuck me with your horns at least lube me up first going in dry is just painful!
"Come on Rui we can't stay in this cave all day we don't know if there are more of those crazy ponies around here so get up and let's go we can morn once were safe."
Daisy was right I have to make sure we live through this I still have Myu to look after! So we set off and finally leave the cave and oh fuck what's that blinding light!?
"Sis no pony said the sun was going to hurt my eyes!"
Myu held his eyes shut because of the new pain that is penetrating them and Daisy wasn't really complaining... what the fuck?
"You guys know you will be fine if you stop starring at the sun right?"
Well now I feel dumb because once I looked down the pain stopped though it was still very bright out but once my eyes adjusted I saw a desolate landscape a rocky desert and tar roads as far as the eyes can see and what looks like a small village or at least what I think a village looks like which is giving me the urge to explore.
"well standing here wont solve anything so lets go to that village over there maybe we can find a nice pony who will help us"
We nervously made our way yonder and realized something very important about the surface... IT'S FUCKING HOT OUT HERE!!! Why is it so hot is this what its really like without a fall breeze talisman running throughout a stable because its hot as balls out here!
After about twenty minutes of complaining about the heat from all of us well except for Daisy we finally made it to the village and just eww... This place was like a garbage dump and smelled like one too. Looking around I saw this building called a Gas... Station... The hell is a Gas Station well regardless its where I went first and I instantly regret it because I just stepped on a button a big red button on a small silver platform that read Explosive Minefield. oh that really didn't sound good.
A pony came around the corner he was old with a brown coat and gray mane with a cowpony hat holding a very nice sawed off double barrel shotgun to my face.
"what the hey are ponies like you doin in my home!" The elder pony said in a scratchy voice.
"I uh well we were just exploring and huh. if this explodes why are you standing so close to us?" I say now a little cocky even if there is still a big scary gun in my face.
"Ah ponyfeathers!"
Before he could do anything I levitated the big gun out of his hooves and aimed at him I felt sick aiming the gun at an old stallion but I had to as I got off the fake explosive I slowly pushed him back.
"We are three very lost ponies and just wanted some help so could you please oh please not shoot us!?"
I give him the gun back which he returns with a skeptical look and my brother is just shaking from that action.
"Guess I could be a bit more neighborly." He says scratching the back of his neck "It's not often that ponies are nice out here in Las Pegasus so your a sight for sore eyes."
Las Pegasus so that's what they call the surface or at least the general area those pre-war books I have basically taken from my friends said Equestria use to have many names for diverse towns and cities.
"so if your going to be nice can we have a gun like yours we did you know Not kill you and all we have are two metal pipes so we could use a gun one like you have Rui seemed to like it"
Wow Daisy for the win, I couldn't ask an old pony for a gun that's just crazy.
"Well I guess I should but your asking a lot for just not taken it but that's it I ant helpen no more! You want more go bother Mareapony at the bar!"
Mareapony? A Bar!? Oh thank Celestia I can actually get a drink the great goddess of the blinding sun really does care, I can have at least a little bit of pleasure for such a bad day! Aaaaand here comes the realization that all my friends are dead it's only been say half an hour and I'm happy to get a drink and a gun wow this day just sucks guess I better get started on making that sign from earlier...
* * *
The bar we went to was to sum it up a big half bubble of sheet metal and not very well put together I feel like once I open the door the whole thing will fall apart. Oh well with my new shotgun strapped to my side we walk in and the place actually held when I opened the door.
When we entered I was greeted by a rather pleasant sight of clean metal walls sure some of it was rusted and had holes but I found it comforting due to my life now having a lack of walls around me though the ponies inside were not to be desired they reminded me of the crazy ponies from before but cleaner and calmer though they all gave me the death glare my stable barding probably said we weren't from around here.
"Hello welcome to Dirt the home of cheep booze for cheep prices try another bar if you want but this is the best one around for miles"
That sounded rehearsed in her scratchy voice also what the hell was she!? If that's Mareapony then her name is very misleading because she does NOT look like a pony! She looks like some kind of winged gold feathered monster bird in the front half and a brown beast in the back!
"Hi I'm Rui Caster I just came out from a stable all my friends are dead and I got blinded by the sun for the first time took a shotgun from an elderly stallion and I'm wondering What the hell are you!?"
Smooth... I could have said anything else like literally anything else besides that!
"Wow... You really did just get out of a stable guess I should give you the gist of Las Pegasus so sit down and have a drink just give me those bits your blond friend is holding they don't worth much out here"
She says that but she wants all fifty bits that Daisy 'won' from me what is she even going to use them for? I just look at Daisy begging for the drink and information good thing I'm cute because she caved and gave Mareapony our bits and was left at the bird monster's mercy mercy as I slowly downed the Wild Pegasus named beverage.
"Well to answer your first question I'm a Gryphon you wont see many of us but if you do just know that there not as nice as me so be on guard. Next bits aren't money out here bottle caps are more valuable then any of those bits you have I just wanted to melt them down for a new sign for my bar."
Damn it she is working on her sign before me! Though I would probably change it from ponies kissing my ass to nice ponies giving me cuddles I could really use them... I drink a little faster damn this stuff is much better then the filtered crap from home.
"Next on the list welcome to Las Pegasus land of sins, During the zebra attack on Canterlot they utterly destroyed Equestria with the mega spell bombings and that means this land is filthy with radioactive nuclear waste not from the mega spells but because during the war magical and nuclear machinery was in high demand, You should have seen hoofinton as of late because wow that place is just the biggest danger zone ever!"
My head hurts so much information at once how she knows this is crazy and now I guess I know why we were underground those books never mentioned anything about this they were mostly fantasy... Wild Pegasus is my new best friend though I wonder what a zebra is or a Pegasus.
"last thing because I know this is getting boring never and I mean ever get close to the city on the clouds the magical waste there has melted the city with the clouds itself and just trying to walk on it would be like stepping in hot tar!"
Now there was a city that floats on melted clouds what the fuck is this world I'm on!? I miss my stable so much it makes me sick or that's because of all my dead friends cooking in there from the heat out here oh goddesses I just had my stomach explode out of my mouth I feel like sleeping.
* * *
I woke up in a very moldy and blood stained bed as if I didn't feel gross before I do now just thinking about all that happened on this bed. But first things first where am I?
"Morning sis feel any better?"
Myu was sleeping on the corner of the bed he stayed with me while I slept so sweet!
"M-Morning? did I really sleep all day and where is Daisy I don't see her?"
"Daisy is helping Mareapony clean up the bar apparently you vomited from drinking way to fast and you passed out so were at Mareapony's house so you owe her and Daisy."
He was right I do owe them guess I wont be making any moves on Daisy for awhile though I doubt we would have a clean place to do it anyways.
I slowly made my way back to uh Dirt and looks like there was now a new sign above the metal bubble of a bar that said Dirt! best bar around! in bright gold letters hope she enjoys those hard earned bits I use to have. So I put on my I'm sorry face and walk in and hot damn Daisy looks cute in that apron!
"H-HILOW!!!"
"Hilow? well guess I look good if you messed up you words like that along with the tail wagging~"
Damn my silky tail you betrayed me again! Good to see she isn't bitter about it so I may still have a chance Mareapony on the other hoof was very bitter in fact she was poking me with her very sharp claw if not for my stable barding she would probably cut through
"Gingercorn you owe me for that mess from earlier and sense I know you don't have any caps you are coming with me to help keep the gizzards off my back while I go fix the water tank and I ant taken no for an answer!"
with her hunting riffle in hoof er claw we leave before I could even apologize to Daisy I'm sure I can when we get back.
We walked out in the barely tolerable heat in silence for about ten minutes and all that was running in my mind was why is her water tank so far away and what was a gizzard but at least the second question was answered when suddenly she shot a giant reptile thing with a neck that could expand like an umbrella and was standing on only two legs and she wanted me to shoot those things!? She acts like its not even a big deal!
"so uhh... how did you know so much about all that uh history?..."
"Huh oh the from yesterday well my bar is like a rest stop in the dessert and when people are trying to cross it I hear many things when they get drunk but none of them puked on my table from only one bottle!"
Okay yeah she was still upset so as we deal with the water tank it was quiet so I just watched her work I know how to fix a water tank though she wouldn't tell me why it was all the way out here thought best not to think about it.
As we eventually made our way back I saw some ponies in leather jackets harassing Daisy and well I don't like ponies messing with the mare I reeeaaallllly want in my bed.
"Ahem that's my friend there please stop harassing her."
The three young stallions surrounded me making me feel rather tiny compared to them.
"hehehe boys looks like we have a stable mare with us I'm sure you know what we do right?~"
They all started laughing that just made them look well like not the sharpest tool the shed. The second I tried to use my magic to reach my new gun I was suddenly very tired then everything went black.
