The Adventures Of Space Star

The world looked like a desolate wasteland and I loved it. The first thing that I noticed was that my dagger had turned into a Sniper Rifle. I cradled my new weapon in my hooves like it was a new toy. Just before I heard a loud bang in the distance followed by a crowd of cheers. I then ran right towards the sound not knowing what I was getting into.

When I got to the source of the noise I saw someone's legs burning as she hung right above a fire pit. I had no idea who it was but, I knew they were in trouble. Seeing that these ponies were burning her, I had to be very careful. if I was caught, I would be burnt as well. I then noticed that I was up high looking down at a crowd of savage looking ponies. At that moment I knew that I wouldn't be able to blend in with the crowd. So, I would have to fire on sight.

"Look it's an Alicorn!" A stallion with a barding of cutie marks stitched together screamed loudly as he spotted me quite easily. The whole crowd had their heads snap in my direction instantly. I saw their crazy yellowed smiles that these raider looking ponies had. I was then grabbed from behind by a mare sneering over my shoulders.

"This little shit is mine!" She said cackling as the rest started to surround me. Going with my plan I shot her. Creating a large hole in her skull.

"You wanna fight me! Let's go!" I yelled ready for a fight. Seeing one of their own laying on the ground motionless and surrounded by a pool of blood, they all started to run at me. I shot each of them when they got to close to me. Making it a rule that the one closer is more of a threat. Hence that they must be taken out first.

Soon they all were dead. Now, I had to figure out how to free the burning pony. She looked like she was about to die so, I had to be quick about this. If she was going to live long enough for me to free her, I would have to put out the fire. Lucky for me, there was a bucket of water right near the flames.

Picking up the heavy bucket of water with my magic, I threw the water at the flame extinguishing it. Now, I had to figure out how to free her. I ended up shooting the rope that held her with my rifle. She fell down to the now flameless pit. She had a few wounds on her. I healed all of her wounds with my magic. She looked charred and melted. It would take me a while to heal her properly but, I would get it done being used to getting injured frequently. After that was done she woke up. The mare looked at me in fear as she backed away.

"P-Please don't hurt me!" She blurted scared of me. The mare I freed had a red coat with an orange mane. "I don't want to become anything like you!" The earth pony shouted shaking scared.

"What are you talking about!" I asked the earth pony in confusion as I cocked my head to the side...

"Don't play dumb with me you Alicorn!" The mare spat angrily. "You Alicorns took my sister away!" The mare said with venom in her voice as she sneered at me.

"For your information, I just saved your life!" I shouted in her face. The mare flinched at my tone. Fearing what mean ‘Alicorn’ could do to her.

"Are you taking me too!" The mare fearfully asked now shaking.

"Taking you where?" I asked.

"With you? Alicorns take ponies away." She told me with fearful eyes.

"I'm not taking you away!" I yelled again making her flinch… again...

"You're not?" The mare asked as she eased up on her shaking as she tilted her head in confusion.

"Yes. I'm not." I answered with a roll of my eyes.

"B-But you're an Alicorn! But... a tad bit smaller..." She asked not sure if I was friend or foe. As she sized me up. "Are you tricking me with that magic you have?" The mare asked not feeling what to believe feeling quite lost sitting there with me. The earth pony stood up slowly as she studied me intently. "Horn heads like yourself are the most dangerous of kinds..." She said while studying me. She tapped my horn with a hoof nervously. Like it was a ticking time bomb. The mare let out a nervous laugh as she slowly turned at a 45-degree angle and slowly walked away to the dead raiders as she began to loot them. Taking an occasional glance back over her shoulder to keep an eye on me. When the red mare went to leave a group of ponies blocked the only exit.

"Please get out of my way... Please?" She pleaded the last word. As she had a nervous smile on her face slowly backing away.

"Get down!" I yelled. The mare dropped down hearing me speak scaring her into submission. She clenched her eyes shut. She clutched the ground for dear life. Squeaking like a scared puppy as she did so. I readied my Rifle and loaded some ammo into it. "You will not hurt her!" I shot the group of ponies before they could hurt the red mare. Some scampered behind several old rusted sky wagons.

"The Alicorn bitch is using the big guns!" A Raider colt screamed out as he ran into a small hole into a cabin nearby as the two other Raiders that were alive peaked out spraying with their pipe guns. The red mare hid behind a concrete wall scared out of her mind. As she placed her forehooves over her head. A bullet nicked my side brushing against my coat barely missing. The Raiders weapons were junk. I aimed at the Raiders ready to shoot. I fired my gun. The bullets hit their heads. With a satisfying pop sound as their brains exploded. Blood started to pour out of their heads. After they fell, they were surrounded by a pool of blood. The red mare slowly got up on shaky legs walking over to me.

"Why are you protecting me Alicorn?" She asked shaking as she couldn't believe she was standing next to an Alicorn that didn't just chew her head off. Imagination is a crazy place.

"Ok, I'm going, to be honest with you for a minute, I fell into a portal and I ended up here," I told the red mare. The Red mare blinked at me. Fixing me with a blank expression.

"What the hay is a portal Mrs.Alicorn?" She asked confused. As she slowly started loading a Pistol with her hooves dropping the bullets as she tried to place them in a magazine. She failed miserably with her hooves. Nothing beat magic at reloading efficiently.

"A portal is a gateway to another dimension," I said. I started to look through the Raiders stuff. My eyes darted over to some Rifle ammo which I quickly grabbed. The red mare just stared blankly.

"Another dimension what's that?" She asked. Her ear flicked awkwardly standing before me.

"It's kinda hard to explain," I replied. The hot sun bore down on both of us.

"Well, I can't take you back to town..." She said with a hoof to her chin. "Maybe you could cover your wings somehow?"

I took a cloak from a raider to cover my wings up. "How's this?" I asked.

"Good... just don't show anypony..." She said uneasily as she led me deeper into the unforgiving Wasteland. "S-so what's your name?"

"My name is Space Star. What's yours?" I asked.

"Orange Truce..." She said with her eyes flicking around nervously.

"Nice to meet you Orange Truce," I replied.

"Y-yeah-h su-ure." She stuttered. "I really shouldn't even be talking to you... S-tar."

"It's fine. I'm used to it." I replied flatly.
