Fall(out) of Equestria

I have never been accused of being the sharpest tool in the shed, but sometimes, even I know I'm stupid. Like for instance the situation I currently find myself in. To my left is a contingent of Brotherhood of Steel. To my right is a group of Gunners and directly in front of me is some Institute remnants and all three have one goal...my head on a silver platter.

"How the hell do I get myself into these situations" I muttered out loud. It has been three years since I took out the leadership and a majority of the three groups and I guess they have joined together to get revenge on me. The old enemy of my enemy is my friend deal I guess. Oh well, my armour is going to take a pounding on this one.

"Whelp, who goes first" I asked pulling out my combat shotgun with the explosive effect.

Two hours, five hundred shells, twenty stimpacks and four fusion cores later, I finally trudged back to my main base of operations which was a old Red Rocket truck stop. Of course, my armour was shredded all to hell and to add salt to the wound, Dogmeat was sitting with a look on his muzzle that said 'I'm glad I stayed at home.' This is the one time that the mutt was smarter than me.

"Go bother Des. She probably could use the help tracking some synths." With a bark he took off. I wasn't pulling as many Railroad missions as I used to, but it was discovered that Dogmeat could track the gen three synths that was still loyal to the Institute. Climbing out of my armour, I stored my gear and crashed, hard onto my bed. I need a vacation I thought to myselfbefore sleep took me, but right before I slipped away, I noticed a blue glow surrounding me.

I've had lucid dreams before, maybe once or twice, but what I was experiencing at that moment...was strange. I wasn't dreaming, it was more memories than anything. My memories of the combat I've seen over my lifetime and the strangest thing was, something was watching. It looked like a blue pony I would say. I mean, it was horse shaped, but it wasn't as big as one and I've never seen a horse with wings and a horn. Plus, it's mane and tail looked like the night sky and was moving on their own. It took a moment for my brain to kick in, but I realized what it was.

"A alicorn?" I must have said it aloud because it's left ear turned my way before said alicorn turned it's head my way and smiled.

"Greetings, my name is Princess Luna. I have come to your world to ask you for your help to save mine."

I stood there in dumbfounded silence as I tried to process what I just heard. For one, the alicorn could speak and two, it was female by its voice.

"Okay, either I was more exhausted from that fight than I thought or someone slipped me some chems." Smiling lightly, the alicorn spoke again.

"I shall assure you that I am very real." Turning back to my memories, she watched for a few minutes before speaking again.

"You seem to have a talent for winning battles against impossible odds" she stated as the Battle of Anchorage ayed out in front of her.

"Lucky I guess" I answered as I walked up and stood next to her. "Why do you need my help? What makes me so special?" Smiling again, she looked at me with a knowing expression on her muzzle.

"You fight for others and have never asked for anything in return. When you was searching for your son, you was not doing it for your selfish reasons. You did it to protect him from the world you found yourselves in. When you fought for your country, you did it to protect others as all true warriors do. Not for personal gain, but out of a true want to keep the horrors of war from those that could not protect themselves." I couldn't believe that this mystical creature had me pegged so well by just watching so little of my past. After all of that, she defiantly had my attention.

"Alright, you have my attention. What is it that I could possibly help you with your Highness?"

"Please" she started while blushing. "Just call me Luna." She shuffled her hooves a few times before sighing and began to speak again.

"My kingdom was a peaceful land ruled by myself and my older sister. I, as you know am Princess Luna, Princess of the Night and Goddess of the Moon. My sister Celestia was Princess of the Day and Goddess of the Sun or she was until she was killed trying to protect our subjects from harm." She had trailed off on the last part and i could plainly see the pain she was in. Not knowing what else to do, I wrapped my arms around her neck to try and comfort her. After five minutes or so she rubbed her eyes with a foreleg and whispered a "thank you" before she continued.

"Anyway, my kingdom was invaded by a race native to the far west called the Caribou. Their sole purpose is to subjugate the female population and turn them into sex slaves. As of now, they control three-quarters of Equestria and the rest will fall before too long." That made no sense to me. I could understand if a invasion was done for resources or political reasons, but slaves?

"Why? That's not a real reason to invade a country?"

"It was for Dannin and his ilk. Equestrias population is eighty-five percent female and since the reverse is true for caribou, they wanted the mares of Equestria for sex slaves and breeding." I won't lie, I started to see red right then. That was all kinds if wrong in my view and I wasn't going to let it continue.

"Where are you right now?" She blushed again and hoofed the ground before answering.

"I am currently on the roof of your home."

"Did you do something to bring us to wherever we are?" She nodded in answer still looking at the ground. I was bound and determined to help her and her home. No one should go through that kind of hell. "Good. Wake me up, I need to prepare for war." She looked up sharply with a hopeful expression crossing her features.

"Does this mean..."

"That I'll help you?" She nodded in answer. "Then yes I will and those fuckers will know what hell on Earth will be."
