Chernobyl Dairies in Equestira (going to be better than the movie from what I've heard about it

**WARNING** THIS STORY CONTAINS STRONG LANGUAGE AND GORE. THIS ALSO TAKES PLACE IN AN ALTERNATE UNIVERSE WHERE FLUTTERSHY WAS KILLED DURING A DISASTER AND NEVER MET TWILIGHT OR ANYONE ELSE, THERE WAS NO ELEMENT OF KINDNESS.

50 years after an incident in the town of Marenobyl, the site of Equestria's only power plant and only nuclear incident, the town lays barren and deserted. Sent on an assignment by Princess Celestia, Twilight and her friends set out for the ruined town with a guide to investigate what went wrong and if the area is able to be inhabited again. Things begin to look promising until night falls and strange mutated creatures begin to swarm and the group is trapped within the town. Will they meet their ends or will they survive with the help of one of the monstrosities terrorizing them.

Marenobyl (Edited)

Twilight stood outside the van, waiting for her friends to show up. She knew Rainbow Dash was going to be late, and so was Rarity. She didn't expect Pinkie Pie and Applejack to be late though. The only other ponies their was the princess and a guide pony by the name of Viktoriya Mikhailov. She was a stern looking earth pony, black maned and silver coat. Her cutie mark was a map and a strange symbol of a hammer and a sickle overlay-ed upon each other.

"Princess, why won't you tell me where you are sending us? It seems strange of you to be secretive of these matters." Twilight inquired of her teacher. "And why do we need a travel guide, I know all of Equestria by heart!"

"Calm yourself, my dear student. All things will be revealed in time. Also, Viktoriya  here is necessary for this expedition. Just trust me, Twilight. Just trust me." She smiled at the little purple unicorn, the look on her face told Twilight that she was hiding something.

"Twilight! There you are!" Pinkie came bouncing up the road with her normal I'm-so-happy-I-could-die-of-happiness-than-come-back-to-life-from-happiness-smile. No one ever never knew if Pinkie was just always happy or completely insane. "I looked all over for you. I have something to tell you."

"What is it Pinkie?"

"Applejack can't come with us, she's sick." The pink pony said as she bounced in place, obviously excited about this trip.

"Oh no. Princess, maybe we should wait until Applejack is felli-"

"No." She snapped without seeming harsh. "It is of vital importance that you leave immediately, Applejack will just have to remain here."

"But.." She looked up into Celestia's eyes, which looked back with kindness with urgency buried beneath." Ok, if you say so."

"Hey!" Rainbow Dash called as she and Rarity came down the road to meet the group."Wazzup every pony." She looked over at Viktoriya. "Who's that?"

"Мене звуть Вікторія Михайлова" Viktoriya stated, receiving strange looks from everyone but Celestia and Twilight. " Приємно зустрітися з вами."

"Uhh, any pony understand what the fuck she just said!?" Rainbow looked around.

"She said that her name is Viktoriya Mikhailov and it's nice to meet you." Twilight said staring straight at Rainbow, who was looking at the silver mare.

"Oh, uhh, Hi Viktoriya, I'm.."

"Веселка тире я знаю, і це Пінкі пиріг, і це рідкість"

"Let me guess, she said she knows I'm Rainbow Dash, and that's Pinkie Pie and that's Rarity."

"Uhh...yeah. How did you know?"

Rainbow smirked. "Як ви думаєте, що великий тире Рейнбоу ніколи не зможуть вивчати іншу мову, Eh товариш?"

"Umm...wow, I did not see that coming." Twilight stated just as shocked as everyone there. "Ok, enough bullshit. Princess, what the hell are we doing?!"

"Ok, I need you ponies to go check out a place I will only let you go to. Twilight you don't even know about this, no matter how much you may know about Equestria." Celestia looked off towards the mountains. "Have you ever noticed, any pony, that there is a blank area on the maps of Equestria, near Stalliongrad if I remember correctly. No roads, restricted airspace, no forests. Just blank."

"Of course we have Princess!" Rainbow Dash called out. "Do you know how many times I've tried to fly over that place to see what was going on there?! I always assumed you were building some kind of weapon or something there."

Celestia sighed. "Well, you are almost right Rainbow Dash. About 50 years ago, we had to find a way to power all the great machines Equestrian scientists were inventing. We searched for months until we discovered something that produced enough energy to run the machines without pushing unicorn magic to far." She nudged a small piece of black rock to where everyone could see. "This ore could be refined and used to produce power."

"Sorry to interrupt, Princess, but how does this relate to where we are going?"

"Patience, Twilight. After we discovered this ore, we came up with a plan to build a power station, a place where we could produce power and send it all over Equestria. We wanted to build it near Canterlot, but the mayor of Stalliongrad suggested we set it up near a small community called Marenobyl. The mayor of Marenobyl agreed and we built it. Most of the residents were happy because the station would bring more jobs and money for the town. We opened it and things went smoothly for about a week, then something happened that no one expected. While running a systems test, there was an explosion in the No.4 reactor. It blew a giant hole in the station and sent harmful materials all over Marenobyl and a good bit around it. We got as many ponies out of there as we could, but the rest stayed and died."

"How were you able to hide such a terrible disaster, especially one this big, from the whole world!?" Rarity asked.

"We told every pony that there was nothing there but royal lands, and we swore all the survivors to secrecy. But it's been fifty years since then, and the land there should be inhabitable again. That's why i called on you all. You are the only ones i could trust with such a big secret, and the only ones i could trust to go there and make sure that all the dangerous materials are no longer a hazard to any pony."

Twilight gave her friends an odd look to her friends, sending a silent message to all of them. Rarity returned her look in disbelief, Dash with excitement, and Pinkie could care less as she bounced around.

"When do we leave?"

50 YEARS AGO.....

5:45pm

8 hrs. 23 mins. til the disaster.

Fluttershy rushed along a pathway that lead down from her house to her school. She was only a filly, yet she was taller than most others in her class. She didn't understand why and she didn't like how much it made her stand out. But today she didn't care, something amazingly wonderful had happened to her and she couldn't wait to show it off.

"Mommy!" She said in her quiet tone as she rushed through the doors of her families cottage and right into her mother in an ecstatic embrace.

"What is it, Fluttershy?" Her mother said with a smile as her wings wrapped around her child.

"Look!" She turned a little bit and showed off the image of three pink and blue butterflies on her flank.

"You got your cutie mark!" Her mother said in a mix of surprise and joy.

"Yeah! I was just helping take care of the class hamster today and i was enjoying it so much. The next thing i knew every pony was gasping and pointing at me, which got me kind of scared and awfully embarrassed. Then I look to where they were pointing and it was there!" Fluttershy was talking a mile a minute which was so unlike her. She was usually so quiet and withdrawn, her mother had never seen this side of her.

"That's great, Fluttershy!" Her mother sang, literally. They both laughed at the spectacle. "Your father is going to want to hear about this when he gets home. I wonder when he will be back, though."

"Remember, mommy? Daddy said that he was going to be working late tonight."

"Oh yeah, thanks for reminding me. Hey, maybe tonight we can go meet him when gets off work from the plant. Give him a good scare, eh?"

Fluttershy giggled abit. "Ok!" She nuzzled her mother then went to her room. She walked right up to her rabbit, Angel,   cage, leaving him a carrot for when he woke, if he would even eat it. Her mind was in a buzz as she laid down in her bed, giving one last look at her cutie mark before drifting off for her afternoon nap.

Oh, I hope that everyday from now on is this great! She whispered as she drifted off to sleep.

Entry 1: Damage Assessment and Rundown of Operations and Safety Test for Reactor 4 (Edited)

THE FOLLOWING IS A DAMAGE ASSESSMENT AND OPERATIONS TEST RUNDOWN GIVEN 2 DAYS BEFORE THE TEST ON REACTOR No.4. THIS WAS GIVEN A GREEN TO GO BY PRINCESS CELESTIA AND 4 OF EQUESTRIA'S FINEST ENGINEERS.
Damage Assessment on Marenobyl-Stalliongrad Power Station.

Housing Unit No.2

Reactor No.4

Celestial Year 950.4

During a test on Marenobyl Reactor No.4, a cooling malfunction halted the testing from being completed. Engineers along with the manager of Reactor No.3 attributed the problems to the following items:

-Blocked Pressure Exchange Valve

-Crack in Coolant Tank No.8

-Overheating of Reactor Core of No.4 unit

-Pressure Drops of 50 psi. over a period of 30 sec.

The issues have been brought before the repair staff and all have been resolved. Testing will resume after normal operations resume and stability of the core is assured for a period of 36-72 hours. For the approval of stability, the reactor must meet the following criteria:

-Pressure of Core: Less than 200 psi. max.

-TEMPERATURE OF CORE: LESS THAN 150 *F MAX.

-POWER OUTPUT: BETWEEN 550-600 MW/h MAX.

These must be kept for the 36-72 hour duration of approval.

The following was released 36 hours after the Damage Assessment given on Reactor No.4

System Safety & Operations Test of Marenobyl-Stalliongrad Power Station

Housing Unit No.2

Reactor No.4

Celestial Year 950.4

This Document signifies that Marenobyl-Stalliongrad Power Station Reactor No.4 has passed stability and quality control and is to be allowed to conduct a safety / operations test under the following criteria:

-The test must be done during times when power usage by the public is less than 200 MW/h

-The test must be done in the presence of the Equestrian Nuclear Power and Safety Commission (ENPSC)scientists and engineers.

Control Rods must be ready to be inserted in case of malfunctions and must be checked for timing at 6, 2, 1, and 1/2 hours before the test.

-Back up cooling systems must be armed and ready to be put into use in case of overheating

-A specialized team must be setup near the reactor to manually insert control rods if safety systems fail

-Power must be run from Marenobyl-Stalliongrad Reactor No.4 for the duration of the test. Safety systems must be powered by a separate power supply and not from the reactor

-No one is allowed to be in the control room except for:

*Scientists: 3

*ENPSC workers: 3

*Reactor No.4 Lead Scientist and Lead Engineer

-All members of the test must have had at least 6 months experience or have special recommendation from either the Lead Scientist or Lead Engineer

The Exclusion and a Princesses Regrets

Twilight was the only one who knew how to drive the metal contraption the princess called a Van. Everyone protested at the idea of having to pile into this....thing... confined to such a small space for the trip. Well they protested until the  princess told them that it was an almost 350km journey. The farthest any of them have ever traveled was the 5km to Canterlot or the 3km to Cloudsdale. Even to Manehattan, Appaloosa and Los Pegasus is only 60km each way.

"Twilight, how long til we get to this place?" Pinkie asked once again.....for the third time in the last 5 minutes.

"For the last time, I don't know Pinkie!" She said as loud and clear as she could without upsetting her friend and causing another one of her crazy Pinkie-is-depressed freak outs. "Viktoriya, how long until we reach Marenobyl?"

"Приблизно в 20 км доки ми не досягнемо зони відчуження. Потім кілька військових контрольно-пропускних пунктах і у нас буде ще 30 км, поки ми не досягнемо міста." Viktoriya said coldly as she looked out her side window.

"What!? Another 50km!" Rainbow Dash was starting to get restless, not liking having to be constrained by her seat belt. Or having to be sandwiched between Rarity and Pinkie Pie. "Isn't there a faster route to this damn place!?"

"Якби був швидкий маршрут, ви дійсно думаєте, що я сидів би тут того, щоб отримати крикнув по шибайголова, як ви ще на 50 кілограмів!" Viktoriya snapped at Rainbow, which everyone knew would spark her temper. Well at least she isn't drunk and fighting with someone this time...

"Hothead! Oh that's it, bring it on you punk bitch. We're going to throw down right here and now!"

"Принесіть його на тебе ублюдок лесбіянки пизда!" They started to unbuckle and throw punches back and forth over the seats. They only stopped when Twilight slammed on the brakes and restrained both of them with her magic.

"Both of you better stop before I kick both your asses!" She was definitely not in the mood for this shit.

"Образотворче ..... мама." They both said at the same time, right before giving each other a small laugh.

Twilight sighed as the van rolled up to a small building with a gate blocking the rest of the road. There were about 20 armed troops guarding the gate and one walking towards the van with a hoof up signalling them to stop.

Twilight stopped the car as the stallion approached the drivers window, looking over the hunk of junk like it was merely  just an eye sore and nothing more.

"Це королівський тільки зони, закритої для всіх. Ви повинні включити цю ... річ ... навколо негайно і повернутися туди, де ви прийшли." The guard said in his stern voice and thick Stalliongrad accent.

"Sir." Twilight said handing him the paper the princess had given her. "We have special permission to be here."

The guard took the paper and skimmed through it until he saw Celestia's signature sitting on the bottom line right next to the royal seal.

"Це видається цілком обгрунтованим.." He said as he handed the paper back to Twilight, a look of concern and fear taking over his once stern stare. "Ви можете пройти, але повернуся до заходу і ні за яких обставин йти в будь-якому з будівель відзначений знаком X."

"Yes sir." She said, slamming the van into gear before darting off past the gates and further towards the town.

Celestia sat in the throne room of the castle with a half hearted look on her face. What have I done, I've not only sent the Elements of Harmony to the most dangerous place in Equestria, but I didn't think to tell them about the...the. She couldn't even finish her own thought without tears falling from her cheeks.

Luna walked into the throne room with her normal guards following close behind. She didn't even have to look at her sister before she knew something was digging at her emotions.

"Sister, what hast thou so upset?" Luna asked the saddened alicorn sitting on her throne.

"I think I have made a terrible mistake sending them to...that place."

"Sister, you cannot regret the things thou hast done in the past. If you do you may never be able to forgive thine self and thou shalt pine away."

Celestia sighed at her sisters words. She knew she was right, but even she could not fight the tears that fell as she started to speak again.

"Luna, there is something I have never even told you about Marenobyl, something far more horrifying than anything you know about it could ever be."

"What is thou talking about, dear sister?"

"There is something far worse than I ever could have imagined there.....and I think Twilight and the others will....change in that place." She barely finished her sentence before she broke down crying into her sisters shoulder. "Luna, what have I done."

50 years ago

9:45 pm

"Fluttershy, time to wake up sweetie." Her mother gently nudged her daughters shoulder with her hoof.

"Hmmm... five more minutes mommy."She said as she rolled to the other side of the bed holding a stuffed bunny in her hooves

"No, time to get up. Don't you want to go surprise your father like we talked about?"

"Mhmm...."

"Then get up, or do I have to tickle you out of bed." She barely finished her sentence before she lunged at Fluttershy, planting her hooves softly on her stomach and started to tickle her.

Fluttershy burst out laughing. "Mommy! HAHAHA...S-Stop it HAHAH!" She rolled trying to move away from her mother grip as she rolled out of bed.

"So, your finally up." Her mother smiled at her child

"Yep yep yep!" She said as she flew over into her mothers arms.

"Hehe, go get ready. I want us to get there before midnight, ok?"

"Ok mommy. I love you." She said planting a kiss on her mothers cheek before flying off to the bathroom.

I swear that child is going to do great things one day Her mother thought as she began to straighten up the room.

"Sister, please say that thou is not being serious!"

"No, Luna. This is the most serious thing I have ever said to anyone."

"Why would you hide something like this!? That place needs to be fire bombed or something. If that kind of evil and hatred resides there, It must be destroyed!"

"I know, Luna. Trust me I do, but I cannot destroy what cannot be killed. I just hope that the Elements are more capable of subduing it than....I was." Celestia removed the glove from her hoof and Luna's eyes lit up in horror.

Her flesh was rotted, bloodied and moving on its own.
