Author's Note

Hello everypony, this is a story idea I have wanted to do for awhile, long before I actually decided to write my story 'A New Empire' and I wanted to say, this is not a sequel to that story! this is kinda just...a somewhat alternate universe, its not actually related to that story in any way aside from the fallout 4 themed items, I have decided to post this early, and see what you all think, I may pull it down after 4 or so hours so I can continue working on the story, I want to post it when I have 4 or so chapters ready

Chapter 1

I grinned as I destroyed another camp of raiders, I was pretty fucking bored at the moment however, since I had beat the game every way possible, with every faction you can join that has a major impact on the end of the game.

This play through I had decided to do a hero style character, I named em Maxwell Silver, since at the earliest level I could I got the Silver Shrouds costume, and did the quest that came with it, my main weapons I had used console commands to give them the 'never ending' affect, as reloading was a bitch mid combat, to me at least, I had an ALR, also known as an automatic laser rifle, a never ending ten mm pistol, those where my two main weapons, the ones I used the most, I had almost every weapon in the game, aside from ones you needed to side with certain factions in the end of the game to get, all stores in my inventory.

If you are wondering how I was able to carry all those weapons? It's simple, console commands are a wonderful thing, I just made my maximum carry weight over nine thousand, and for anyone out there who says its cheating, your right! but who the hell wants to make ten trips from one area to their storage area, just because the crap they are hauling is heavy as hell?

I had every DLC installed, and completed, Far Harbor, Automatron, liked that one the best, Vault-Tec Workshop, and then I had quite a few mods installed to make the game even better, like the Alien Assault rifle mod, I loved the beam barrel and the fusion core ammo converter, place everywhere, Nuka factory, working cars, plasma turrets, the ammo factory mod, and the Fallout 3 style stealth boy mod, cause Fallout 4 style stealth boys where complete shit and lasted only thirty seconds, added to the fact no matter how many points you invested into sneak, enemies could see you while invisible and target you regardless of how close or far you where, yet you could never take down a gunner using a stealth boy in vats, complete bullshit that I would never put up with so long as I had that mod.

I closed my game after saving it and took a look at the time, nearly 1 AM, maybe it was time to go to sleep, just as I was about to close my computer, I got a notification from discord, from someone I didn't know, the name I saw on screen was MR.D, strange name, must be a sexual joke or something.

MR.D today at 1:02 AM
Hello! I saw you loved fallout as much as I do, and wanted to ask if you would be willing to test out a mod I created, I have not released it to the public as of yet, as I have been looking for someone to test it for me.

Now this was already sketchy to begin with, but in my half asleep state I didn't care enough to use reason and think that this might be a scam, or someone trying to infect my computer with a virus and steal my information n shit.

Shadowflame today at 1:04 AM
Uhhhh, sure I guess, I love mods for the game so long as it does not break the game, what does the mod do exactly?

MR.D today at 1:07 AM
That is a surprise! but I will tell you, it CERTAINLY will make your game more interesting! for any player, old or new to the game, I am sure by now you've played the game a bunch of times right? it must get boring after awhile, the same thing over, and over, and over again, am I right? this mod will fix that!

Shadowflame today at 1:09 AM
Alright I guess, sure send the files over for me to download and I will give it a look in the morning, I'll download it before I go to sleep.

MR.D today at 1:11 AM
Alright! sleep well! your in for a treat when you wake up!

He sent me a file that contained the mod, and I downloaded it, the name was ZOMBIEWINRAR, and I shut my computer down and walked up to my room, and went to sleep inside my nice plush bed.

An unknown amount of time later, I woke up, however, everything felt off, for one I was wearing clothes, I never wear any clothes when I sleep, sitting up in bed, I realized I had sunglasses on, I took them off, and looked at myself in the lenses of them, and holy shit, this had to be some weird dream, as I didn't have a beard before this, nor did I look like the Silver Shroud himself. "Alright, so I am dreaming?...I don't normally know when I am dreaming so this actually can't be a dream, so this is real....what the fuck happened? why am I dressed like this? why do I have a pipboy, and a HUD, what the hell?" I said to myself, without really thinking about it, I just did so out of habit as I normally spoke to myself with no one was around.

I had just now noticed, this was not my bedroom, this was a plain white room with a white bed, white sheets and walls, and a grey door. Standing up, I felt something materialize into my hands, looking down I grinned, it was my main rifle, my never ending ALR, opening the door I stepped outside to see it was about midday, looking back to my surprise the entire room was gone, now I was in the middle of a road that from what I could see, had no end to it.

I wanted to test something, so I tried to open the creation club kit menu, and I was able to do so, thinking of the console command I summoned a mint green corvega sedan, how I was doing all this you may wonder? Instinct, I somehow knew what to do on a fundamental level, I just thought of doing what I would in game and it just sorta happened, might be a bullshit explanation I know, but its all I've got, as I have no fucking clue how I got here, so don't expect me to fucking know everything in the damned world.

I opened the door to the sedan and sat inside the drivers seat, closing the door I saw there was a button to turn the car on, pressing it got the hum of a nuclear engine, and I started to drive down the road, I most likely was not flipping out, cause I was hoping this was a dream I'd wake up any minute from. With that thought in mind I drove off down the road, awaiting what was to come, be it me waking up, or be it something completely different.

The road I was on was a dirt road, and what I saw next surprise the hell out of me, ponies, to be specific, Lyra, Bonbon, and Vinyl Scratch, but, they where anthro, hooves for feet, that kinda thing, by what seemed to be a model T style truck, while Bonbon was under the hood trying to fixed the damned engine, I drove up and rolled down a window. "Ya'll need a ride to town?" I nearly died at the site of them, I loved ponies, I watched the show all the way up to the season 8 finale episode, despite the show goin to shit in the past few years.

The ponies seemed surprised, and only then did I realize, they looked ragged, like they had not eaten in a few days, they where dirty, their clothes had small splatters of blood and where lightly torn in areas, and all three of em had a gun, and right now they where pointed at me. Vinyl had what looked to be a Howdah pistol, judging by the size of the four barrels, it was in .50 cal, Lyra had a MLE 1903 pistol, and Bonbon had fedorov avtomat, they looked like they had gone through hell, came back, then went through it again for the hell of it, but all of em where armed and looked ready to kill.

Bonbon was the one to speak up. "Just who the Fuck are you, and what do you want? we don't have anything you could steal aside from our guns and some water, so just leave us alone and keep moving along, and why would we want to go to a town? those are death traps now." She kept her fedorov avtomat aimed at my face.

I chuckled. "I ain't here to hurt ya, I offered to help ya get a lift to someplace you can get your ride fixed, seemingly however you just wanna be hostile, why is that?" I asked raising an eyebrow.

Bonbon narrowed her eyes. "How can you be so calm, with whats been happening lately? have you been living under a rock or something?"

At this point I heard a few groans, and moans, and no not sexual kinds, the hollow undead kind, I saw nine or so zombified looking ponies shambling towards us, I pulled out my ten millimeter pistol and took aim. "Oi look out." Bonbon turned around and shot, so did the other two, I myself put 4 of the bastards down.

I looked at Bonbon. "So, a zombie apocalypse?" I looked at the freshly killed undead.

Bonbon gave me a deadpan look. "Yes, its been going on for ten bucking days, how can you not know this?"

"Would you believe me if I told you I was an alien?" I heard more groans, this time it was a herd of them, 60 or so. "Look, we can continue this conversation in the car, get in now before those things tear us apart." I for one did not want to die to a zombie, maybe this is what that mod did? was it some weird fucking spell or something?

Bonbon sighed and shrugged. "Agreed, however try anything funny and I blow your brains out." Her tone completely serious.

Bonbon, Scratch, and Lyra hopped into the car, Bonbon sitting in the front passenger seat, while the other two sat in the back as I started driving again.

"Any destination in mind?" I asked Bonbon, as I had no idea where we were at the moment, I had neglected to check my pipboys map.

"Ponyville, its one of the few towns not overrun, me and my friends here where out for one of Vinyls music gigs in Manehatten when this all went down, we almost didn't make it out, that was 7 days ago, we ran out of food three days ago, and now we have no water since we had to ditch the shitty car."

I grinned and looked back at them. "Don't worry about water, or food, I got that covered, for now at least, how are you all on ammo? and just where did you get those guns to begin with?"

Lyra was the one to speak up this time. "Actually these belonged to some of Vinyls body guards, to prevent angry fans from grouping up on her, also...are you a human?"

Bonbon rolled her eyes. "Lyra how many times do I have to tell you? humans do not exis-" I cut her off.

"Why yes, yes I am a human, how did you know that?" The amusement in my voice clear as I spoke.

Bonbon went pale, while Lyra giggled. "I have dreams about humans sometimes, most are fuzzy however."

I hummed at that, that was certainly something to think about. "Good to know, so where is Ponyville from here?"

Bonbon took a deep breath, and spoke up again. "It should be just another two miles down the road, the only reason it was not overrun was due to the Princesses funding a wall to be built around the town since monsters kept trying to attack it, and sent armed guards after the Trixie incident to prevent some mad pony from taking over the town again, and just close the gate and its a prefect defense against the undead."

"I get that, nothin works better against zombies than a tall wall and some guns, other than maybe grenades." We continues driving and Ponyville came into view, a few undead around the wall being picked off by royal guards in gold colored armor, smart, plate armor would defend against teeth, it can't defend against a bullet, but a sword? or rotting teeth? it was the perfect armor for a zombie outbreak, as I drove up the guards pointed their guns at us.
