Fallout Equestria: In The Beginning

I slowly started to drop back into the real world, I had a massive pounding headache. I sat up and looked at the clock, it was about time for me to go. I jumped out of my bed and grabbed my saddle, I had to pack up my things.

        I went around the room looking for all my crud when I noticed something, the right side of my face was bruised, and it hurt like hell! That dream couldn’t have been real, could it have been?

        I picked up a few school books, the papers that I would have to study, and a few other pieces of misc material that I cared about. As I finished up Mr. Royal entered the room.

        He looked at me and said, “Your driver’s here Viren, remember what I said, just get all that nonsense out of your head, thinking like that only does damage.”

        He guided me towards the front of the school and I saw our personal driver standing there, his name was Sky Chaser.

        Sky Chaser looked at me and said politely, “Are you ready for departure sir Viren?” I nodded and he started towards the door. I looked back at Mr. Royal and he was waving goodbye.

        I looked at the chariot and noticed it was different, this one had actual battlements on it, not to mention a pegasi guard with a battle saddle!

        Sky Chaser looked at me and noticed I was staring at the weapons, “Your father has asked for your safe return, the countryside is too dangerous to be transported unarmed, hopefully we will not have to use them though.”

        I nodded and slowly entered the chariot, this was going to be a long ride. I set my saddle on the seat and sat down in the middle, I always hated traveling by air, my dad always chose it when possible though.

        The chariot slowly started to take off and I was stuck sitting in the back. I watched as scenery started to go by slowly, such a boring ride. The guard behind us kept speed easily, even with that huge battle saddle mounted! This seemed like it was overkill just to get me home. Not like I was going to have to deal with anything.

        I noticed that we were flying lower than usual, I ignored the fact of it. I took note of how high above the treeline we were, how cou- Ding! -What the hell?- Ding!Ding!Ding! -What the, no, no the odds are not possible! I looked behind us to see the pegasi guard screaming something, I couldn’t understand him at all.

        I noticed that Sky Chaser was looking at me, he shouted out, “Get down!” I did as I was instructed, he instantly took off at a near 180 degree angle! I noticed that the guard separated from us, he charged towards where the gunfire was, he disapeared into the tree’s and I heard a loud chain sound that seemed as if a chain was spinning against metal. I could hear loud screams below but I couldn’t see anything past the tree’s top.

        The chariot all of a sudden righted itself up to its normal angle, it was still going faster than it should be, Sky Chaser was yelling things over a radio he had, I couldn’t understand a single word.

        I know my mom’s in a high place but what would they do with me! This was making no sense, my heart was pounding at speeds it's never raced before. Why me out of all ponies! How would they even know about my transport, it has only been scheduled for a couple days!

        After ten minutes of flying at top speeds in the same path we started to slow down and lower our altitude, Sky Chaser looked as if he was hiding something, I knew better than to ask questions in times like these though.

        As we neared the next city we slowed down to even slower speeds than before, Sky Chaser didn’t even look tired though. As we flew above the city, I couldn’t identify it sadly, four pegasi guards flew up and joined our formation, all wearing battle saddles.

        Sky Chaser finally looked back and said, “I think we won’t have to deal with any other problems, your dad asked that we have more guards though, we shouldn’t have to deal with them this far in but it’s better to be safe than sorry.” He looked back to the front and started to pick up speed back to normal.

        The four pegasi guards behind us were all Royal Guards, they looked as if they were willing to die to ensure our safe ride. As the day dragged on I decided it would be best to get some sleep. I laid down and let the world evaporate before me.

        I slowly looked up to see that the world around me was burning, this couldn’t be, what happened? I slowly stood up and everything hurt, I looked at the left side of my body and it was scorched!

        Every small movement hurt like nothing I’ve felt before! I looked around and I was in this deep trench. everypony around me was dead, I looked over and noticed that I was nowhere near Canterlot, this looked like the middle of nowhere. On the far end of the field of scorched earth were zebras, all lying dead to.

        What had happened? How could this many ponies die at once! I can’t make any of this out! The worst part about this, was the smell, it smelled like nothing I’ve experienced before, it was one of the most grotesque things I have experienced before, scratch that, it was the most grotesque thing I’ve experienced.

        I slowly started to look around, something around here has to help my burns, this is a dream after all, or at least I hope it is. I trotted down the long trench and saw a pony in full steel armor lying dead on the ground. What the hell is on him?

        Everything felt different to me, I couldn’t even explain the feelings my nerves were sending me. Nothing made sense anymore. This was sheer agony I was experiencing. I slowly picked through the scorched bodies, it was as if they already used all their medical supplies!

        I eventually found some special type of anti burn cream, I gently applied it to the wound, it hurt like hell but after a few seconds it started to feel soothing. I started to explore, I realized I was in a standard militarized uniform, or was, until majority of its side was burned off.

        Why did my dream take me here of all places? I don’t understand any of this! I started to trot further down the trench, the quiet world was even creepier than a noisy battlefield! All of a sudden I lost control of my actions again and my body picked up a rifle that was sitting next to another dead pony, how could I even think of wielding a weapon right now!

        My body started down the trench at even faster speeds and as it reached the end of the trench, an abomination was waiting for me there, it was a pony, but grotesquely mutated! My body dropped and instantly fired its rifle into its head, sending gore everywhere. As the head exploded, the world evaporated around me.

Sorry for the delay yesterday, had an interview with IBrony radio, killed most of my free time of that day on that, I also need artists for a PMV if anybody who can draw as if its from the show read this, comment if you wish to help. Back to the topic, I am debating on releasing chapters every day or every other day still, I know I only release a thousand or so words per chapter but it’s all the time I can spare as for now, I am also probably going to be upping my PMV production so that would take time out of making this fic, I will continue writing it though so don’t worry about that, just that I have a bunch on my plate so chapters may release a bit more slowly. Again, if you can draw as if its’ from the show, comment below, really, I need help on this PMV, there will be credit given if you help.
