Fallout Kaiju

Chapter 7 Into the Wastelands

Little Pip, Crasher, and Wrecka were met with black inky darkness. "It's so dark in here" Little Pip realized, trying to look around, unable to make thing's out with her eyes.

"Here, there's a flashlight in your backpack" Crasher realized, as he reached into her backpack, and pulled the device out. He clicked the light on, seeing through the blackness as the place was littered with Anthromorphic Pony Skeleton's.

"OH GODDESSES, WHAT HAPPENED HERE?" Little Pip screamed, as she looked at the horrifying decayed skeletons. Wrecka went over, bending down, as he investigated one of the corpses. "YOUR INVESTIGATING CORPSES!?!?!?!?!?!?" Little Pip shouted, as Wrecka gave her his response.

"I want to know what happen outside Stable 2, all my mother, and father told us was that a great disaster occurred here. The disaster, was the reason why these Stables were created, but mother acted like there was more to the story. To her, it looked too painful for her to talk about it" Wrecka told her, studying the pony skeleton's. "Strange.....these skeletons have been here for over 18 year's, and it looks like they were trying to get into the Stable" Wrecka told her, as this piqued Little Pip's interest.

"So they were there during the event of this Great Disaster?" Little Pip asked.

"Precisely" He told her. Both of them got up, and continued to tread forward, before finding a smaller, more simpler door. They opened it with ease, seeing that it was an entire underground cellar.

"Huh, I didn't know this was a cellar?" Little Pip pondered, before Crasher spoke.

"Our mother's used to own this farm. Back then these cellars were used to sell her tasty Apple cider, and her famous Zap Apple Jam. My father started a family with Applejack, and Applebloom. Our first mother was 21, while our other mother, was 18 when they first met dad. Our mother's spent there childhood on this farm, with our Great Grandparent's, before they passed away at a young age......" Crasher sighed sadly. They had stopped, as he began to feel along the rotting cellar wall's, knowing the stories the cellar told.

".........She also lived with our Uncle, and our Great Great Grandmother, before they died in the disaster as well, too bad it wasn't old age for Great Great Grandma" Crasher sighed sadly, holding back tears, as his brother placed his clawed hand on his shoulder. Little Pip gave him a nod, before they continued up some cellar stair's, opening the cellar door. The howling radioactive wind, began to blow around the area. The farm around them was completely ruined. This place used to be flourishing with life, now it was part of the wasteland's. Little Pip looked up, at the entrance from the cellar, wondering what great disaster could cause all this.

Wrecka, and Crasher looked like they were about to move on, when they heard the sound of someone sitting down. Both of them saw Little Pip sitting there with her head down, as they gave her a serious gaze. "Hey.......Little Pip is It, are you alright?" Wrecka asked, as Little Pip looked down.

"I feel like I want to go back......this wasteland is just gone. My friend's are all in the Stable's, yet out here, I feel so..........alone" Little Pip sighed, feeling tears well in her eyes.

"Your not alone, Little Pip......you have us, were your friend's, and we will help you find Velvet Remedy" Crasher smiled, as Little Pip looked up at him with a sniffle.

"Really, even though we just met?" Little Pip asked.

"Sure, we'll help you, after all what our friends for" He smiled, as she gave them a small hug, before letting go.

"So what are your names?" Little Pip asked.

"I'm Wrecka, and this is Crasher" Crasher introduced, as they shook hand's with the mare. She introduced herself, as well which they already knew her name. Little Pip sighed looking at the huge, almost dark cold wasteland's.

"I guess it's just us from here on out" Little Pip told them as both her, Wrecka, and Crasher began walking forward.

"Let's go" Wrecka told them, as they began their journey through the wastelands.

With there bags of supplies, along with hope in their heart's, the mare, and the Sharklantean's continued throughout the wastelands, finally leaving the absolutely destroyed area of Sweet Apple Acres. Wrecka, and Crasher were leaving behind the memories of their parents, hoping one day it would be restored. They continued down a small path, seeing that almost everything had been completely destroyed. This is what their lives in the stables was, only a small piece that the wasteland's had more part's to their lives. "So this is the outside, it's so empty.....and quiet, it's nothing like the stables at all" Little Pip sighed.

"I second that, aside from us" Wrecka told her, as all of them looked around, the huge miles of mass destruction.

"What on earth happened here......Crasher, did the Great Disaster do all this?" Little Pip asked.

"Indeed, our mother told us that the Great Disaster completely destroyed our world, everything had been taken from everyone, and thousand's of ponies died. My mother told us, she never knew what caused the Great Disaster in the first place, all that she last saw was a gigantic bright light coming from the sky. After that, everything became like it is now" Crasher told her.

"Maybe Velvet is also trying to get answers on what happened to Equestria" Little Pip suggested.

"All the more reason to find her" Wrecka replied, as Little Pip spoke up in a loud voice.

"V-VELVET.....IT'S LITTLE PIP IF YOUR OUT THERE SAY SOMETHING!" Little Pip shouted looking around. They heard the sound of cawing from crow's in response, before she spoke again. "OK......IF YOUR OUT THERE DON'T SAY ANYTHING!" She shouted back, as Crasher gave her, and odd look.

"That was helpful, maybe you should shout that you got a pretzel for her, like she were an average dog" Wrecka said sarcastically, as Little Pip gave him an annoyed glare.

"Ha, ha, ha, your very funny" Little Pip groaned, as she continued on with both of them as they all continued to look around. They all heard the Geiger counter on her Pipbuck, pick up a small radiation spot's, nearby.

"Look's like there's still radiation hot spot's in these area's, whatever caused the Great Disaster also made many thing's into a nuclear wasteland. Looks like some areas have returned back to normal, but there are still radiation hot spot's" Wrecka told them. They all nodded continuing forward, throughout the area. They heard the loud caw's from some blood covered crow's that watched them with curiosity. The crow's mostly cawed, flew, or just stared at them, while they passed by. All of them journeyed through the wasteland, coming across a second old barn that the Apple family had tried to build. Both of them looked inside, trying to find something to increase their survival.

Finally they found the first clue to Velvet Remedy, an audio recording from her, as Little Pip accessed it, while all three of them listened to the audio recording.

To anypony who has left Stable 2 in search of me......please........go home.........I'm doing what I have to do. The Overmare understand's, even if she can never agree, and I hope one day you will too. I will not come back, do not look for me, do not endanger yourself any further for my sake. Please, forgive me.....Velvet Remedy The audio recording ended, before hearing Crasher speak.

"FUUUUUUUUCCCCCKKKKKK DAAAAAAAATTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!" Crasher shouted, after listening the audio recording.

"Damm it Velvet it didn't have to be this way" Little Pip said with a curse, under her breath.

"It's very apparent, that Velvet Remedy does not want to be found, or brought back to the Stables" Wrecka told them.

"Then were not going back to the Stables" Little Pip spoke in a serious voice. Both Wrecka, and Crasher cocked their head's to the side, as they looked at her.

"Are you sure, I know the two of us won't go back to the Stable, but Little Pip you sounded like you wanted to go back to the Stables, with Velvet" Crasher told her, as Little Pip spoke.

"Whatever caused the disaster, may not only be linked to Velvet, but also me as well. If Velvet is searching for answers, then we need to search for answers as well.....even if it mean's not coming back" Little Pip told them, as Wrecka spoke again.

"And what if it's just us, that are searching for answers, that Velvet does not know about?" Wrecka asked.

"All the more reason to find her, and tell her what is really going on" Little Pip assured them. Both of them continued onward, leaving the second barn. By that time night had fallen, and the only option for all three of them, was to seek shelter.
