Chapters It all started with a gift
"Whoa,"
Looking around me I saw the amazing things that my fellow gamers have done to bring stuff from books, video games, and even movies to the real world.
Fans of every series walked around me along with characters from other worlds.
Bendy the ink demon,
This was truly a great place to be for a gamer, everything was amazing! Collectibles from everything under the sun ranging from the giant metal gear Rex to the smallest slime from portal.
I would die here happily.
"Hey," I turned to my cousin the reason why he was here.
You see he is a master photographer and taught me a thing or two that got me a award for best bird's eye view picture, he was a great cousin and photographer. He was hired by some company to take photos of the event and he got a plus one to come with and he knew how much I loved video games and he brought me here with him.
"Yeah Austin?"
He walked over to me, though he was older than me I was taller than him being 5ft 11in when he was 5ft 4in it was kinda funny in a way. When we were younger he was taller than me when I was the shortest one in the family but ended when the good old stones dropped causing me to grow like a weed.
Besides the irony of it he still brought me along.
"I'm going on a call it will be awhile you can head to the hotel without me it will be awhile," He informed me which I gave a nod as he walked away leaving me to my own devices.
As I browse though the vendors but I stopped when I saw a familiar face...er face plate.
"Welcome sir or ma'am do you wish to purchase something?"
VENDORTRON!
In the steel!
I was freaking out at what must be an animtronic but I played along.
"Alright Vendortron what do you got?"
"Proccedddddd ccccccddddddd-"
The protectron began to bug out as I took a step back at the robot, but then before it could do something damaging a masked man walked over and unplugged the machine.
"Damn machine," A also most pirate like voice spoke though the clothed mask.
As the machine powered down the man gave a huff and turned over to me in a merchant costume from RE4, glowing infected eyes and all you have to admit it was a great costume.
"Sorry about that stranger my assistant is quite new here I apologize about the malfunction," Damn he even nailed the voice.
I wave it off.
"No worries though I have to ask did you buy it or did you make this Vendertron?" I asked.
The merchant gave his creepy but warm laugh.
"Me build this no no no this was a gift from a customer of mine from the Mojave,"
"So you've been to Nevada too?" I asked.
He nodded as he turned to me slightly hunched over.
"So stranger are you buying?" He asked me as I got goosebumps from his voice making me smile.
"Yeah but I'm just looking around for now," for the first time I took a good look at his wares.
Most of the stuff is things that would make me go home with a smile and never go to sleep again but nothing really spoke to me...hell even the iron infinity gauntlet. The merchant looked at me placing a hand on his chin as if in deep though as I held a storm trooper E-11 blaster before he spoke.
"Stranger if you don't mind me asking have you have something stolen from you that connected you to realm of games?"
I froze how did he know?
"You mean a gaming system?" I asked.
He gave a nod.
Giving a sigh I placed down the E-11 as I placed a hand on my hair.
"Yeah, My dad's ex stole my X-box one X, My Ipad, and my games lucky I still have my 360 but its not really the same without it," This caused the Merchant to go wide eyed.
"My god that a crime in within itself did you go to court," I gave a sigh.
"She never showed up," This caused the Merchant to rub the back of his hood.
seeing how I must have made him uncomfortable I gave a smile and brought something else.
"So how's business did Leon come by?" I joked getting a chuckle from the salesman.
"No no he hasn't come for awhile but I might have something that you might be interested in stranger," he told me with a masked smile.
"Really then," I smiled back.
He ducked into his booth and within a moment he was back out with a Vault-Tec back pack, he placed it onto the table with a heavy THUD. I was a little surprised these things were rare this wasn't the cheep version of the backpack that came with the power armor of vault 76 but a real rugged Vault-Tec backpack. With a click he opened the back pack and pulled out three idems which made me go wide crazy.
The first was a Pipboy 2000 kit, the second one was a intelligence bobble head unopened mind you!, and the last one was a Tb-51 power armor helmet which made my jaw drop to the floor.
"W-w-w-what where did you get these!?" I almost shouted.
This got a dark chuckle from the merchant as he placed a finger on his 'lips'.
"Trade secret my dear vault dweller,"
I picked up the helmet in awe then the merchant said something that almost caused me to drop the helmet.
"You can take them Stranger,"
Turning to him with wide eyes he laughed.
"Are you serious?" I asked.
He nodded.
"I don't normally do this but a fallout gamer like yourself shouldn't have you Xbox stolen from you so this is a way for me to say sorry for your loss,"
Giving a light chuckle I looked at the helmet one last time as I packed them into the bag and thanked the merchant for the stuff as I turned and waved. With a pack full of fallout gear I began to leave but I turned around to the merchant and waved which he did but the moment I blinked he was...gone. Confused I walked back over to his booth but it was...empty?
'The hell?'
Looking around their wasn't even a table cloth and the booth was empty nothing, cleared weirded out I power walked out of the building and to the hotel I was staying at. Swiping my card the door to my room opened as the smell of clean hotel room entered my nose as I quickly closed the door and jumped to the desk and pulled out my loot.
Pulling out the red box from the bag I placed it before me and opened it, their before me was the parts for a pipboy 2000 ready for Assembly. I pulled out the instructions and tools that came with the pipboy, giving the whole device a look over I knew this was going to take awhile to build. Grabbing the hotel phone I punch in a series of numbers as I heard the ring from the other end before it picked up and I heard two words.
"Room service,"
(Half a pineapple and pepperoni pizza and a pack of sprints later)
*click*
'Its done,'
I raise the final product that was in my hands I gave a smile.
"My very own pipboy 2000,"
Opening the cuffing I strapped it to my left arm as I clicked it on and there I was wearing a pipboy that I made! Gently I opened the holotape slot and placed the holotape that came with the pipboy into the 'device' as I pushed it shut. Giving a laugh I then yawned, the Assembly and the rush from before must have tired me out. Not bothering with removing the pipboy I crawled on top of the bed as I placed my head on the pillow and with a smile I turned out the light and shut my eyes.
"What a great day,"
That was my last day on earth.

Guessssssss who's back!!!
Alright I been looking for a job after my graduation that's way I have been silent forever but right now I'm on vacation! Right now I'm on a plane to Seattle Washington writing this and then I'm going on cruse to Alaska! Cool right so while I'm at sea I'll be trying to keep up with you guys with this new story and another one that involves quake 4.
So that's it for now and no this isn't a fallout 76 fic I just like the design of the pip 2000 and the Construction, Assembly, Mobile, platform or C.A.M.P. Along with other fallout games like 1,2,3, and tactics.
Also Characters from other series (Anime/TV/video games) and maybe a few from the fallout series as well, but not all of them will be Allies to the Sentinel.
It all started with a gift
“From where you’re kneeling it must look like an 18 karat tun of bad luck. Truth is ... the game was rigged from the start.” -Benny
I awoke with a huge amount of back pain as I got up holding the back of my head as I slowly gave a growl of pain.
"Did I fall off my bed?" I open my eyes to be meet with darkness.
sighing I reached for the light switch.
'Is it still night? Wait whats with the carpet!'
Instead of feeling rug I felt rock and stone under my hands as I got up looking around me, before I could say more something on my arm gave off a green light. Looking at my arm I was blinded by a low green light that caused me to close my eyes slight as my eyes adjusted to the light as I saw what was before me.
My pipboy was GLOWING!
"WHAT IN THE NAME OF GOD!!!" The dim green light reviled a walking vault boy on the screen for the stats page.
'Ok calm down breathe. Find out where the bloody blazes you are,' I then lifted my pipboy at the dark stone room to find out it was some kind of cave.
I had no idea where I was or how my pip-boy was really working but it was, that didn't matter I need to find out where the hell I was! It took me a moment for me to switch to my Map on the pip-boy because I had to manually switch to it which wasn't that hard to do.
Nothing, my pip-boy couldn't mark where I was as it read 'Sorry can not connect with Robco satellites please try again later'.
'Damn,'
I placed a hand onto my chin as I looked down the cave before picking a direction and going that way as I looked thought my pip-boy.

On the dime in a green a flash the baton appeared in my hand as I looked at the new weapon in my hand before snapping it out. As I did the foot long baton came out as it was covered in spark, I gently played with the new weapon before folding it down back into it's stand by and I looked at my pip-boy again.

Well I guess if I need to than I will use them if I have to really really need to.

With a thought my pistol appeared in my hand and I inspected the pistol nothing too special about it almost as if fallout 3's pistol and fallout 4's had a child. Pulling the slid back I put one in the chamber as I smiled a bit before placing the gun to my side and some how it attached to my leg.
'That's fallout for you,'

'Interesting now how do I-'
Just then I was blinded by a bright light causing me to cover my eyes from the sudden light as I walked out of the cave slowly as my eyes adjusted to the light.
'Whoa,'
Lowing my arm I saw a lush green forest before me not a wasteland which wasn't was not what I was expecting...Hey who cares right I have a pip-boy and shit. Looking around at the forest I scratched my head it was a green sea with no end which I cursed at the never ending green ocean, I was hoping to find someone. Before I could do anything else I felt my pip-boy shock my arm causing me to grab it in pain as my eyes blurred for a moment before returning clear.
"THE FUCK WAS THAT-!"
I then saw it...well I really can un-see it for it followed my eyes, I had the fallout 4 HUD that was on my vision which was cool and scary at the same time. Blinking a few times I looked at my hands before giving a grin.
'This will be helpful,'
Climbing down from the cave and into the forest I headed north with my hands in my pockets as I looked around at the trees thinking about what they are so I could find out where I was.
'They looking like Pine trees but at the same time Oak are they-'
"Swwwwwwweeeeeeeeetttttiiiiiiieeeee beeeellllll!" I turned to the voice.
'Is their someone here GREAT I can now find out where the bloody blazes I am,'
I ran though the forest in the voice direction.
"Sweetie bell this isn't funny," The voice though was almost...familiar.
Valeting over a log closer to the voice.
"Guys where are you!" Yeah I heard it before but where.
Going past a tree and into a area where the voice was to see...
Button mash?
The kid didn't noticed me as I stopped in my tracks at the sight of the anthro pony as he yelled for his friends again.
'Must be lost like me,'
Taking a deep breath I pulled up my hood (not to scare him of course) then I spoke.
"Hey kid you lost,"
The gamer turned to me and gave a sigh of relief at the slight of another person...er...pony sorry.
"Ah thank the princess someone else. Hey their mister can you help me I seemed to be lost," Button mash asked cause me to freeze in place.
"Um...mister?"
I rubbed the back of my neck.
"Yeah about that kid I'm lost as well," This cause him to pale as he fell down.
"Why me...first sweetie bell told me to come with her friends to help them with something then they ditch me in the evergreen forest lost!" He hugged his legs to his chest almost about to cry.
Not really knowing what to do I sat down next to him as he tried his best not to cry.
"Um you alright kid?" I asked.
"Oh yeah sorry mister I'm just..."
"Sad?" I subjected causing him to nod.
I placed a hand on shoulder.
"Its OK to be sad when your lost its not your fault kiddo whats your name?" I asked.
"Button mash whats yours mister,"
With my hand on my darken face I then snapped my fingers as I turn to him with a smile.
"Jack...Jack Mercer its nice to meet you Button,"
He smiled and gave a nod.
"You too Mr. Mercer,"
Mentally I laughed at the last name I gave myself, of course it wasn't my real name but hey my dad called me Jack even though it wasn't the one my mom gave me.
"Alright kiddo now how about we find out how to get out this place?" I told him.
"But Sir I already tried retracing my steps but I wound up going in circles," He informed me.
"I got a campus do you know what direction you home is," I asked he then lit up.
"Yeah ponyville should be north of the everfree!" He said with a smile.
We both got up and I turned north with my pip-boy campus and began to walk north as Button mash began to inspect me.
"Mr. Mercer can I ask something?" The young pony asked.
"Please call me Jack but yes you can,"
"Um...whats that thing on your arm is it some kind of video game?" This caused me to chuckle slightly.
"This old thing no its my Pip-boy it helps me be organized and it does play games," Button mush stared at the device.
"What kind of games,"
"Ones that I want to play Tapper, Red menace, and other kinds," I informed the young man.
"Whoa I never heard of those before," He told me.
I tapped on my pip-boy with a grin.
"Yeah they were made just for this puppy,"
"CAN I PLAY!" He said reaching for my arm.
"Sorry not now but- Hey look a clearing!" I stated He turn to were I pointed to as he lit up and ran froward as I followed shortly behind him.
As we made it to the clearing I saw it a village full of ponies and I connected the dots.
'Ponyville,'
I stopped before the clearing as button mash cheered happy as I began to slowly walk back into the forest.
"Later kiddo,"
Gently I walked into the everfree with my hands in my pockets, I then hear Button call out for me but I did turn back, and I knew ponies where extremely xenophobic they would try to kill me, lock me up, or even run away from me.
(about a hour later)
After wandering for a bit I found a clearing that seemed like a good place to set up 'CAMP' Heh heh heh...
Its funny...
Going to my pip-boy I selected my CAMP as the metal device appeared before me and unfolded as the area around it held a green ring that covered the entire small clearing and most of the trees. My HUD had changed as well to construction mode from fallout 4, knowing what to do I began to break the trees, stone, and other restores down for my CAMP to make myself a small encampment.
CAMP:
Adhesive x 500
Smiling at my junk I rolled up my jacket's sleeves and got to work on building myself a little shack.
(2 hours of trial and error I know another time skip sue me)
YES DID IT!
'Though not the best but it works,'
Taking a few steps back at the small wooden shack with concrete walls and supports that sat in the middle of the clearing with a few small devices around the hut. First was the three junk harvesters that had been converted into a metal harvester, it used a drill to dig into the ground to find any raw metals to be used. Next were the water collectors that collect well water, both from the ground and any that come from rain to be cleaned into drinkable water. Finally were the flood lights and search lights to wear off unwanted guests, but if they get too close to my shack I had two Mark II turrets one on top of my house and the other on the back.
Besides that inside the hut was a three x three plate house, The entrance had a metal door that had a dead bolt and a bar if need if the normal lock wasn't enough, the left side when you entered had every workstation a wastelander need. Gun bench, Armor bench, chem station, cooking station, Robot workstation, Power armor work station, and a custom research station so I could unlock blueprints for other ideas to make into reality.
The right part of the shack were living courtiers with a vault bed from the fallout 3 and New Vegas games with a auto doc mark 1 at the foot of the bed in a folded state. I made it just in case if I get so hurt that it was going to take more than the healthy amount of stimpacks I didn't want to get stimpack sickness. Also to add that was a rad cleaning station that acted like a shower to keep myself clean, also I add a book shelf, steam trunks, comic stand, and some other day to day idems. My entire shack was powered by three windmills that were outside and a medium that had its C02 port acting as my chimney that gave black smoke.
You see I was limited on what I could build right now, like I couldn't make a power armor frame with hellfire power armor, no I was going to need to work for it. Though I could build a power armor frame I just need more metal to do so and I was going to make fusion cores to power the darn thing lucky I could make those as well but again not enough stuff. But I was able to make a auto-pipe rifle so I didn't just have my pistol to defend myself with ammo to go for it and I made my own Vault 111 jumpsuit with heavy leather shoulder guard on my right and left along with metal bracers, boots, and chest plate that hid under my suit. I add lead for radiation protection hey I had to be prepared for anything mates, Along with that I made a Camo bandanna that was wrapped around my neck, lastly was was a pair of goggles on my head for working.
I had become a true wastelander!
Which begs the question, what is a wastelander to do?
Gather resources and survive!
*LEVEL UP!*
*New perks gained!*
Author's Note
I'm in Alaska! So it took me forever to post this story I had it done but I con't post it I mean come on you would expect a cruse line to provide free wifi. ITS BASICALLY A HOTEL ON AT SEA!!!
It all started with a gift
(day 14)
"FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFWWWWWWWWWWWWWUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-!"
I bit down hard on the the stick that was on my mouth that I was using as a pain stick or what ever the hell you want to call it. Moments ago I had fallen down and dislocated my leg, normally you think a stimpack would fix the damn thing but those heal not reline your leg.
Spitting the stick from my mouth as I held my leg with my left and opened my right, in a flash a Med-x appeared in my opened hand. Biting on the safety cap off I put the needle in my leg, God I hated needles, Feeling the pain numb away I gave a smile as I pulled out a Stimpack to heal the ligaments in my leg.
As the Stimpack did its work my leg began to feel better as I got up and put weight on it, nothing good my leg was better that's always good. I know what your wandering what happened Jackie boy? Well it's quite easy to say the least, I was on a junk run to build more to my small home which has grown a bit from my last entry.
I wasn't being chased or anything, I wasn't watching where I was going.
Go ahead laugh it up...
...
You done? No *sigh* keep going...
...
HEY NOT EVERYONE IS PERFECT OK! I BET YOU TRIPPED SOMETIME IN YOUR LIFE!!!
...
Stooooooooopppppp...
...
Alright you do now ?
Yes?
OK then lets keep going on.
I was able to find some gems that can be recycled into crystals in a abandoned mine alone with some scrap metal from some old mining carts, I have hellaton of metal already but still their is no such thing as too much right?
Aw home sweet home.
Adding to my home from last time for more protective defensive matters, I added a chain link fence around the area around my home that had razor wire on top of the fence. Wires where connected to the fence that I could switch on to electrify it which is my first line of defense from raider/attackers/wild animals. Wild animals haven't really been a problem lately I mean, I have my run it was a Manicore but it didn't attack me just looked at me before walking off. Timber wolves hadn't been really a problem a matter of face one of them walked up behind me while I was eating some venison, it just sat right next to me and looked at me. I guessed it really didn't know what I was but it didn't attack me.
The wolf and I just sat down looking at each other before I gave it some meat and it went off a few days later it was back this time I didn't have any meat and I was working on the fence. It hung out and I gave it some water thinking it was thirsty but hey it took the water I just called him 'Woody'.
Hey come on I love those movies, Though I hate how the fourth one ended.
I won't spoil it for you but the ending sucked the movie was good but again sucked.
Woody just comes by every now and then, he would lay dawn by the gate and wait for water or food or just to hang out before leaving. I won't call him a pet but he hangs around and a few times I would run into him in the forest just two friends saying hi, hes not my pet I can't stress that out he has a pack and I have my home but we do hang out. Besides from that wildlife has been quite friendly with me, I gave a bear a high five the other day their was one time when a ugly ass creature bared its fangs at me.
Like hound one said.
"Take that Bitch," *shotgun blast to the face*
Oh yeah I have a shotgun now, the classic double barrel would make doom guy smile, I made a stub nose .44 to add more 'muff' to my arsenal.
I've good all around I'm a drug maker now...HAHAHAHAHA!
Sorry but yes I made some other drugs, I've also noticed I have gained a few perks over a short time.
Ex: Gun nut, Armor, Life giver, Fast metabolism, Blacksmith, leader, good nature, and others.
Along with that I've gotten stronger, I mean punching clean through a tree strong without getting hurt not just my body has been different my mind as well. The other day I was doing a cross word on my pipboy and I solved it in under about 2 minuets and I didn't know I knew the Russian word of 'pasta' but apparently I did.
Walking into my house I pulled my bandanna down from my face and pulled my goggles from my eyes as I poured my loot into the CAMP and sat my ass down. Pulling out my wasteland guide I began to read where I had left off, did you know you can make a bomb from some soda and sodium that is used to make pop rocks?
I began to read about mirulurks and their hive like nature.
"Quite the home you have,"
Startled I shot up with the book going from my hands as I pulled out both my 10mm and stub nose.
*Perk gained*
Old gunslinger style- be able to use two guns at once!
'NOT NOW!'
Pointing my two weapons at the intruder I saw surprised to see Luna standing in the corner reading 'From Tesla to you," as I kept my guns up.
"Did I startle you?"
I holstered my weapons getting a smile from the princess of the night.
"Sorry ma'am wasn't excepting guests," I told the princess.
She closed the book with one hand as she put it down one the book shelf as she walked into the light getting me a better look at her. She wore a pair of black pants that had a chain run from her front left pocket to her back left, black leather boots with belts that had sliver buckles, along with a dark navy shirt, a black leather jacket covered her arms and back, black finger-less gloves covered her slender fingers, and lastly a scarf wrapped around her neck colored like her mane sparked too.
She was quite pretty I had to say.
"Have to say this wasn't what I was expecting Jack," She told me as she walked over to my unfinished power armor frame that hung by the shoulders, it only have its legs or left arm and the T-51 helmet I was brought with rested on the head.
I chuckled.
"Button told you about me?" I asked.
She gave me a smile.
"Your smarter than I thought," She told me.
"Is that a insult or complement,"
She turned to me fully.
"What nonono sorry not many non-ponies know about my ability to enter the dreams of the little ones," She told me a she crossed her arms.
I walked over to my window.
"Are their guard surrounding us by any chance?"
"No, right now my sister believes I'm asleep in my tower but what button mash's mind had to say about you I had to come and see you for myself," She informed me.
"Well are you disappointed?"
She shook her head from my question.
"No, a matter of fact I'm surprised to be honest building all this in under a few hours I'm impressed," She told me.
Nodding with a smile I walked over to my fringe and opened it as I looked into it.
"You want a sunset sarsaparilla its home brewed," I asked her.
"What is it?"
"Root beer ever head of it before,"
"Can't say I have is it good?" She asked me.
I pulled two out and handed her one of the cold drinks, she grabbed it and used her magi to pop the cap off as I did my with my own hands.
"So what do you think of my humble home," I threw out.
"Amazing and this from gathering from what was here in the everfree?" I gave out so-so motion with my hand.
"Some of the stuff I had on hand but yeah the rest was gathered from the forest and some caves," She nodded as she took a sip of my drink and smiled.
"Wow this tastes great,"
I thanked her for complementing my drink as I took a sip as well.
"So why are you really here princess?" I asked.
She took a taste of my drink again before speaking.
"I was just making sure you weren't a threat Jack Mercer," finally showing her true reason why she was here.
"What made you think that,"
"Like any good ruler one needs to make sure your friend or foe," She told me.
I gave her a smile.
"Like any wise ruler of course," I complemented causing her to giggle slightly.
"So friend I take it?" Giving her a nod she took another sip.of her soda.
"Of course I won't want to make a enemy of such a pretty woman," I said with my smile.
She blushed at my words, sitting down back in my seat I gave a swig of my drink as she walked over in front of the coffee table.
"So tell me about yourself Jack what are you if I may ask?"
"Well i like building things that's for one...I like canines and felines but I hate seafood and like I always say 'if it comes from the sea it stays in the sea' besides that what else," I hummed in thought.
"take your time,"
"I do have anxity from time to time and I usually avoid large crowds," I told her.
"Is that why you set up here in the everfree?"
Nodding with a smile.
"Yeah with ponies being you know...whats the word-"
"Xenophobic?"
"That's the one!"
"Yes sadly they can be like that," Nodding at her statement.
She then placed her empty bottle of root beer on the table before heading for the door.
"Hey Luna,"
The princess stopped and turned to me with a smile.
"Come visit again I don't get too many visitors," I told her as I raised my glass.
"Of course just have some more of that drink when I came again,"
She opened the door to my shack and vanished using her magic, I need to find a way to block teleportation magic to my base but nothing in fallout does that...
I shot forward placing the bottle of my drink onto the table as I snapped to my CAMP station and got to work on something that could help with that. OK if you didn't figure out what I'm doing than let me give you a recap of a mission from fallout 4 slight spoilers for you fallout fans who haven't seen it so yeah.
(SPOILER WARNING!!!)
During the main quest line for any faction you have to find to the institute by using their own why of teleportation against them so if I'm right than this plan would work. Teleportation of anything requires some form of frequency, magic is just a form of science that one simply doesn't understand but if may be magic or science their has to something about it. So their has to be something of how it works.
*New perk gained*
Magical understanding- You dwell in the science of magic to under stand how it works, new idem recipes unlocked, and you gain 20% more damage against any magic user
Yeah that's been happening a lot lately...
After spending good resources to build this but it was done, MY GOBBER!
Sorry just pulling your legs my friends, I actually call it an anti-magic generator no fancy names guys just something simple. It looks like a normal medium size generator but with two ports on ether side that draw in any magic from the surrounding the area and bring it in as power and can absorb any form of magic power such as teleportation or any magic resulting in the spell falling. The magical spell that is teleportation will fail and result in the user on the outside of my fence about 10 feet away. So yeah this is going into the power shed.
With the device done I walked out of my power shed and shut the door with my hand and stretch my arms as I walked over to the water tank to get some water to drink as I got a cup.
"Jaaaaaaaaaaaack!"
Author's Note
It all started with a gift
(day 27)
"GET OFF ME!!!" This is the first time that the animals of the everfree have attacked me, I screamed as the later beast bit down and bit though the metal bracer that guarded my arm.
A mancore that I've seen a few time and walked besides with to the river to screech for any gold or gems, the lion in the first time in awhile had attack me!
I know something like this would have happened at some point but he was attacking more feral than one would normally do. The beast snarled as blood began to pour out into it's mouth as I punched it in the face to try to get it off my arm, but alas nothing so to save my arm I had to do one thing I was going to regret. Placing my hand on the grip of my .44 and pulled out the weapon to the side of the lion's head and pulled the trigger causing blood to splatter onto my face.
Closing my left eye as blood was flicked onto my left eye, the beast feel limp as I pushed the beast off myself as I held my arm as I whipped out a stimpack and jabbed into my bleeding arm. The bleeding stopped as I walked over to the corpse of the dead feline as I began to inspected what caused him to go so beastly than his normal more behaved state.
"JAAAAACCCCKKKKK!" I turned to the voice and ran.
'NO!'
(Many days ago)
Jack was looking for special herds to make for some more stimpacks but it wasn't going so well mostly because the herds there weren't any herds that matched with Bloc flowers and Xero roots. He could always have them broken down into slanet green and clone the herbs but he lacked the requirements to build a slanet green machine. So right now he had to work with what was around.
"Damnit," He sat down on a log out of luck finding any healing herbs and the guide wasn't helping because most planets in the guide where found in the wasteland.
"I see that what you seek is not what you see?" A voice spoke in the dark.
He turned to the the voice with a hand on his weapon.
"Hold your weapon for I came with no ill will," A cloaked figure came into the light.
Slowly he sat back down with his weapon still.
"What you seek is in the week," The figure pointed to a area near the stream.
Jack looked at the large herbs and walked over to it picking a few before getting going back to the figure.
"What are these?" Jack asked.
A hand came to the light and held out her hand, one covered in white fur with black strips along golden bracelets.
"For they are healing the leading,"
Looking at the herbs he gave a smile before pulling down his bandanna from his face reviling a smile.
"You must be Zercora correct?" The human asked.
She gave a nod before reaching back and pulling back her hood, the light shined down a face that was covered with the same fur with a black muzzle. Her eyes a yellow amber with a Mohawk matching her fur color as gold ear rings hung from her ears and many gold neck leases hugged around her neck.
"You know my name so what your name if you please?" The zebra.
"Jack Mercer is my name," Jack said as he gave a bow.
The zebra giggled.
"Such a name many hold great deeds for my Neighbor name is now seen," Zercora told.
"Sorry I should introduced myself before," The woman only waved it off.
"Now that maybe but no ill will is here on this hill,"
"Lets talk,'
(Present)
'NONONONONONONONONONONO!'
I arrived at Zercora's hut as I was meet with broken door way, quickly I went in shotgun at the ready as I entered the house to find it damage and broken vials along with other idems.
"ZERCORA!" I ran though ever room looking for my neighbor as i looked of her.
Something is terribly wrong, even the animals of the everfree have kept the kind woman alone.
"Jack,"
Turning over a pile of rubble I pulled off the fallen wood from the zerbra as I found her in a weakened state bleeding from her head. Quickly and gently I pulled her out of the rubble holding my friend close as I ran out the hut and to my home to treat her wounds. She quickly shook from the lack of warmth in her body, she had lost a lot of blood and need some FAST !
Going inside my shack I set her down on the bed as I went over to the auto-doc and began to punch in her state, the medical machine's large slender arms came forth and began to scan her for any more damage.
"Jack,"
I went to her side holding her hand in my own.
"The beast of the free have been darken from a unseen being," I heard hollowing I went over to the window to see...
'Oh no not you too woody,'
The timber wolf had his pack surrounding the front gate as the glow in his eyes held a killers eyes not one of the wolf that sat next to and ate along side. I flipped on the electrical fence as sparks shot though the links of the fence, wolves tried to break in but they were shocked by the grid. Something was wrong, terribly wrong timber wolves don't act like this they are smart but not that smart but they shouldn't be this dumb to attack a electric fence.
Turning to my injured guest as the auto-doc was treating her wounds and giving her synthic blood to replace her lost blood. Then it hit me, if the animals in the everfree were attacking out of the blue than that must me...oh no.
'Ponyville,'
I turned to the cloth covering a project of mine.
"Guess its time see if you work,"
(day 27 noon)
PonyVille home of the elements of harmony and the school of magic was under attack by the animals that rested in the forest next to the town. The animals from the forest usually keep to themselves but today they did a full fledged attack upon the peaceful town, the town didn't have the elements to save them or the students from the academy for they were at the crystal empire for a field trip.
Their was no one to protect them.
Blood was being shed and screams filled the air, homes on fire, and other unspeakable actions came from the once peaceful animals.
A mother held her newborn child close to her chest as she ran out of a burning house as a group of timber wolves chased after her not caring if they were on fire. They ran forward as the mother screamed trying to shield her child from the threat behind her, one of the wolves jumped ready to bite on her flesh with it's burning wooden fangs. Before I could a large metal fist came from nowhere and punched the wolf in the face causing it's face to become a explosion of splinters.
The wolves stopped their attack and looked at the new player on the game of death that protected the mother and child, their stood a giant. More like a knight was before them but his armor didn't shine, it had rust in someplace and was dirty from head to its large boots. A black backpack was on its back along with two smaller bags on each thigh along with a knife on the left bag. The knight's chest plate, shoulders, and crouch guard where a military green and brown as one of his right shoulder held a street sign that said.
'Long 15'
In its hands was a handmade looking weapon that had dials and switches covering the thing as the knight then turned to the woman.
"Ma'am are you alright?"
The woman couldn't say a word to the kind knight that saved her and her child's life.
"Y-y-yes," She was shaking as the wolves snarled.
"Good stay behind me," with that the knight flipped the weapon's switch as the weapon's main compartment glowed red and barrel.
One of the wolves got saw this as a threat and lunged at the knight who only aimed his weapon and fired, a beam of red light shot though the air and hit the wolf in the had as it's body glowed for a moment before turning to ash. The wolf's remains gently fell though the air and past the knight as the other wolves where shocked by the power of the knight's weapon and began to back away but the knight didn't let them. He aimed his weapon and fired quickly hitting the six wolves in the chest or head with six shots. Quickly the Knight reloaded and turned back to the woman.
"Ma'am I suggest you find a spot to hit you and your child," She got up and nodded.
"Bless you Sir knight,"
"I'm no knight,"
The attacking animals stopped their attack at the sound of the music as they turn to the source for it was the knight from before.
His feet moved to the beat of the music as he stopped before them...
"It looks something like this,"
He then fired at the wolves and other animals as red lasers danced before the town, what ever the beam hit it turned into ash as one of the animals using the ash of a fellow animal as cover it jumped onto his back. The knight quickly ripped the animal that was a wilder beast the furred creature hissed as the song began to 'hmm' and the knight grabbed something from his belt and slammed it into the beast causing blood to be shoot out. He then grabbed the beast and threw it into a group of charging bears but they were stopped by the body of their fallen comrade in arms.
"Well here comes the music,"
The body of the wilder beast exploded into a blood and guts as the bones and shrapnel from the explosion ripped the bears flesh apart. Running forward he began to fire his laser rifle in his right hand as he held another homemade rifle pipe like weapon and fired. That was until his weapons clicked as he cursed under his breath, the animals number knew no end as his ammo did. He threw his weapons as the disappeared into green light along with a flash of new green light as a police baton appear in his hands snapping it out and gave a hand flip he pointed it forward.
(think of agent Carolina from RVB)
Sparks came from the hilt to the round point, as his other hand gave 'come on'.
The horde of beast came at the lone stranger but he didn't show fear as he hit one of the bears in the head then a bugbear on it's arm with a snap breaking it. His free arm came back as a pair of sharp knuckles came out over his robotic knuckles and punched his hand through a beast that he couldn't even tell what it was, and so the battle of blood and sparks went on.
Soon the animals 'dog' piled him, he felt the teeth and claws try to make they way under his armor but he had a trick up his sleeve.
A push of a button on his wrist the knight's pulps shrank under his helm.
The beasts on his back went flying into the air as the knight gave a unholy roar.
"FUCKING KILL!!!"
A mix of psycho, buffout, jet, and Med-x caused the knight's mortal body to temporarily brake the mortal chains that held him back from his true strength. Feeling no pain and no fear the knight gave a roar as he ran forward and threw his baton into the chest of a mancore as the shock from both the wound and weapon killed it in a heart beat the knight keep forward. Another set of spike knuckles covered his other hand as he punched his ways though the crowded of meat that was a threat to him and the Village. His already full strength was added by the suit that he wore giving him the ability to rip a wilder beast in half the drugs had turned his mind to match that of his enemy.
The villagers watched as the knight tore though the beast some with faces that had mixed expressions.
Some held panic,
Shock,
Surprise,
Awe,
and Fear.
They had been at the mercy of the beast of the everfree but now they were at the mercy of this knight that gave them a taste of their own medicine. Bloody baton in one hand and in his other the head of a feral beast at his feet were the bloody remains of the animals that attacked.
(end music)
The rush had meets its end when I came back to my normal state of mind, then I saw it.
Blood...
The music stopped on my though as I turned to the crowd and what their face's held.
Fear...
I wasn't welcomed here, this wasn't the first impression I wanted to go for.
Before the guards came and what not that would add more shit to the cocktail of terribleness I turned and began to walk back in the forest with a head of a horned beast in my hand.
"Wait sir knight!"
Turning I saw the mare I saved from before as she ran up to me with her child in her hands, she came up to me and placed a hand on my shoulder.
"Thank you,"
Giving a nod I was about to turn away when something touched my leg as I turned down to see button mash giving my metal leg a hug. Then another pony came to me and placed a hand on my back and gave me a nod of approve, this caused more ponies to come to me and thank me.
'Well that was kind of unexpected,'
"Knight of steel we thank you!" A pony shouted from the crowded.
"Yes thank you stranger!" Another?
"You have a heart of gold!" Well thank you.
"YOU DESTROYED MY HOUSE!!!" Annnnnnnnd their was the negativity I was expecting.
The crowd moved to show what I could guess money bags with a very pissed look on his face.
"I'm sorry?" I stated.
"You better be! If it hadn't been for the explosion my house would still be standing!" He pointed to a house as I turned to see...really...
One of the house in the village was almost undamaged but for one of the windows that had a crack in it.
"It still is," He turned red.
"OH YEAH WELL THE MARKETING VALUE ISN'T!," I gave him a really look but my helmet masked that.
"I don't have time for this," I began to walk away.
"HEY DON'T WALK AWAY FROM ME!" He shouted.
I stopped and turned to him.
"Oh really I'm sorry but I'm pretty sure your not my dad," I told him causing his to turn a dark shade of red as I began to walk away into the forest.
"YOU BETTER HAVE A GOOD AGENT BECAUSE I'M SUEING YOU!" Again I stopped.
I didn't turn around again.
"Why is that?" I asked.
"PROPERTY DAMAGE, DISRUPTING THE PEACE, MURDER, AND IN POSSESSION OF ILLEGAL WEAPONRY!" This time I didn't do anything but flip him off and vanished into the forest.
"DON'T THINK YOU CAN HIDE IN THE FOREST! YOU WILL STAND TRIAL BLAHBLAHBLAHBLAH,"
Switching my speaker to my internal headset I began to play a favorite of mine.
(POV 3)
Money bags was yelling to the forest as the rest of the residents helped each other out until help could arrive and unaware of a figure looking at the village from far away. The figure was standing on the top of tree with one foot his hands in his pockets and a fanged smile.
