Fallout Equestria-what once was
chapter 2- awakening
Previous ChapterNext ChapterI was wet, and very cold, and on the floor. When I got up, I knew something had gone wrong, hint number one were the two skeletons in the corner, number two, was the unnecessary furniture piled against the door. As I looked around I heard a hissing, and then a feminine voice said; "emergency protocol initiated; opening pod 2". I watched the pod opening, mist pouring out, and trotted over.
My sister suffered the same fate I did, a fall, except I was able to pull her to a sitting position against the wall. Thats when I noticed something I hadn't seen, the holsters on our jumpsuits. I was okay with barding laced with lead, but holsters too? They didn't want anything going wrong, or we weren't who they were meant for, or I was looking to far into it. After I'd seen the holster, I noticed the simple wooden door on the opposite side of the room, and I went over to open it.
When I opened the door, what I saw was truly frightening, not only did they give us barding, but attached to the room where we were frozen was a room full of supplies, it looked like it was meant for two ponies. The only thing wrong with the scene was the massive amount of food wrappers strewn about the floor, most likely from the two ponies outside. The closet; in total, contained a flashlight, four batteries, two knives, two pistols, two saddlebags, and an assorted supply of drugs and potions, all the potions looked like healing potions, but the weren't as bright as I remembered them. They had truly expected all-out war, they never expected peace.
Most of these I'd never herd of before, I mean, Buff-out, Dash, Rage, Buck, Stampede, Steady, Fixer, Mint-als, Party time Mint-als. I had no idea what any of these did, we were frozen long enough for Eqeustria to make nine separate drugs. After viewing the display of drugs I focused on the last things in the closet, the pistols, they were not like any I'd seen before, but neither were the drugs.
the two pistols were both magazine-fed, and after checking the rounds piled up in the corner, I could safely say they were 9-millimeters. as I was inspecting the pistols, I heard a groan, and holstered one before going to check on my sister. she was awake now, and she did not look happy.
"Why am I whet and cold?" she was glaring at me as if I'd gotten her wet.
"Well, sister, how do you unfreeze something?"
"You defrost it of- oh, never-mind." she turned red and looked down.
"So," I started, "we were in there for a REALLY long time." She looked at me, questioningly.
"what do you- oh. thats what you mean." She'd spotted the skeletons, the two had died holding each other.
"Yeah" I put the second pistol in her holster, "Thats why your taking this, and this." I holstered the knife in her suit as well.
My sister looked back to me, "Do they have anything?" I shrugged and went over to check on the corpses. The first thing I noticed was Dr. Harrington's name tag.
"oh." Thats all I could get out, because with him here, I know that whatever happened wasn't long after we were put in stasis. Dr. Amethyst was the mare he was holding, and judging from the wrappers in the closet, and the barricaded door, they hadn't gone peacefully. My sister had started to cry, she'd just sat down next to them and started crying. I noticed an audio recording next to them, a different one than from when we were first frozen, and decided to play it.
the stallions voice started pouring out of its tinny speakers, "The Mega-spells have been dropped, we didn't think they would do it. But they did, and we could here it. a boom that could be heard even down here. and now the experiments have escaped, and we've barricaded the doors. We should never have made them, they're just monsters, thats all the are." He takes in a shaky breath, "We won't make it, your really Equestria's only chance."
The recorder is moved around in the recording, and then a amethyst starts speaking "you can use the pip bucks in the closet, they should help you, and you can take our files from ours once they're on." Amethyst has a coughing fit and Harrington starts speaking again.
"just stay safe, your all thats left." The recording clicks and stops playing, I'm crying too now. The two of us sit there for a while before we move at all.
"We should sleep, and then we should go." My sister just nods in agreement and lays in a corner of the room, I follow and lay her her, and somehow sleep finds me.
Perk added: 'sympathy', you have sympathy for ponies in difficult situations, this opens dialog options with specific characters and makes those characters more likely to side with you.
