Fallout Equestria: Days Gone

I was headed towards Canterlot, but also regretting leaving them, thinking that they will get hurt. I questioned in sadness to the Power Armor asking, “Why can’t I go with them? What do you want from me? What is my purpose in all of this?”. I walked for about an hour and decided to take a rest. I found a decayed tree to sit next to, I removed my armor and rested my back against it and started to doze off. As soon as I closed my eyes, I heard screaming and yelling, I opened my eyes to find that a young mare is being attacked by raiders. I immediately got up and ran over to the raiders asking them “what do you think you’re doing?”, the raiders all turned around and turned out to be some hoofington raiders, not like any normal raider, they were cannibalistic and were like zombies. I called “EDITH” and said “Choose Energy Sword”, but nothing happened, I soon came to realize that I wasn’t wearing my armor, one of them bit my leg and tried to bite it off, before it could bite right through it, I quickly teleported my armor on me and said “EDITH, choose Energy Sword”.

I wielded my Energy Sword and cut 3 of the 5 hoofington raiders into pieces, 2 of them were about to attack the young mare, I flew over and cut them in half. I removed my armor due to the pain of the bite and dropped to the ground, unable to get up. The mare rushed over with a first aid kit and put a cast over the bite mark. She carried me to a nearby bench to rest, I woke up about a half hour later. The mare was standing over me and said, “afternoon sleepyhead, you had a serious injury on your front right leg, but I took care of it”. I looked at my leg and saw a cast over it, I thanked the mare and asked for her name, she replied “My name? It’s Pink Raspberry, but you can call me PinkBerry or PB”. I also introduced myself. She asked me what I was doing out here, I told her I was on my way to Canterlot, she also told me she was on her way to Canterlot too. PinkBerry told me that I wasn’t in the condition to travel, I told her to pass me my armor, which she did, and I put it on.

PinkBerry took me to a shelter she built in case if something like this happened, so we went to the shelter. PinkBerry said that I may be infected with Enclave-Poisoned Produce or EPP but was not sure. She said that we must go to the Ministry of Peace HQ to get me checked. She realized I was an alicorn and was shocked, PinkBerry told me that her boss must see this. After an hour, we set off to go to Canterlot, but since I could not walk, I had to fly. We had been on the road for a day now. We encountered another two ponies, they looked scared, maybe because of my Power Armor, so I took off my helmet and asked them both what their names are, one of them was a Stallion Pegasi and said “my name is Big Dash and this is my marefriend Taffy”, seemed like they were ‘together’, so we introduced ourselves and asked them what they were doing out here, Taffy told us “we were on our way to the Ministry of Peace in Canterlot”. We told them we were on our way and they can come with us, so they did.

Second day on the road and one step closer to Canterlot. We encountered a gang of raiders, thank goodness they were normal, but there were four and they looked very unfriendly. I told the three to stay back and out of site, I gave PinkBerry my Power Armor to defend Taffy and Red Dash. I took my Energy Sword and kept it hidden on me in case if anything goes wrong. I started to walk towards the gang and they immediately pointed a Heavy Shotgun at my head and told me to get on the ground with hooves out, so I didn’t pull any tricks. One of them saw that I was an alicorn and told the others, the leader told me, “We don't accept alicorns on our territory, boys, hold him down with wings and horn out”, I didn’t like where this was going because one of the pulled out a Saw while the others tried to hold my head out. The pony took the Saw and started to cut my horn off, I tried to wriggle out and kick him away, but my legs were held down so tight I couldn’t even move. After the horn was off, they went for my wings, after the wings were gone, they didn’t finish me off so I could die with excruciating pain. I got up, taking the Energy Sword, quickly slashing the heads of the three followers and cutting the legs of the leader. I looked at the leader and said, “this is for my wings and horn”, then I shoved the Energy Sword in his face, going through the head and as I was taking out the blade, I twisted the sword like a drill.

As soon as all the rage left my body, I fell unconscious to the ground. The three ran over and PinkBerry held me. As I was unconscious, I could feel her hooves on my body, which woke me up. I woke up seeing my horn and wings on the ground, just sitting there. I was sad for about ten seconds until I sobered up and said, “What are we waiting for? We should get going”, completely ignoring that I was missing important parts of me which set the three into a shock. Before we left, PinkBerry put my horn and wings in her backpack she was carrying. We continued our journey for a couple of hours until we found a place to stay to rest. We dropped off all our stuff and looked around. I found a Big Boy mini nuke launcher, may keep that for later, there were 3 rooms, 2 with a single bed and 1 with a king-sized bed. Big Dash and Taffy had taken the room with the big single bed, while me and PinkBerry had taken the separate rooms.

We rested for about an hour until I woke up to the sound of a PipBuck beeping, I realized that we must’ve been followed because a PipBuck has a tracking device in it. I quickly ran to Big Dash and Taffy’s room with the sight of a PipBuck on Taffy’s leg. I quickly woke up Taffy telling her to remove the PipBuck and give it to me, I quickly ran to the kitchen with it, removing the red blinking tracking device. I must’ve been tracked by the Overmare because she knew I had escaped. I looked at the screen and it had my face on it with a reward of 10k bits, I must’ve been a big deal to the Overmare, but I was mostly concentrated on why Taffy had this with her. I swiped through the screens and I saw Taffy’s profile, she was a bounty hunter for the Overmare. I quickly dropped the PipBuck. I realized that I can’t trust anyone, so I put on my armor and left a note saying, “Seeing this makes me realize I cannot trust anyone anymore, I’m heading to Canterlot alone”. Soon enough I heard hoof steps from upstairs getting closer, so I quickly head out to venture towards Canterlot alone.

I had been walking for about a few hours now and nothing interesting to see. I saw a few raiders on the way but I've learnt my lesson after the last ones, so I just got EDITH to launch Saws, splitting the raiders in half as I walked through their corps. I've found a tree to rest under before adventuring of again. I woke up half an hour later to get back on the road. I according to the Power Armor, I was 12 km away from Canterlot. It was a bit foggy, but I saw three black figures standing in the fog, they came closer and the Power Armor Defense Mechanism (or P.A.D.M) kicked in, missile launchers came out the side, my armor legs had blades. But the figures came closer and it turned out it was Pink Raspberry, Big Dash, and Taffy. Taffy told me, “It wasn’t about Bits, the Overmare promised me a good life for me and my StallionFriend”, I told her, “Forget about the Overmare promise, it’s lies, it has always been lies. I can let you both have a good life, just come with me”.

PinkBerry saw the blood and guts all over my Power Armor and was terrified. I asked her, “What’s wrong?”she said, “my mom won’t like this”. I was very confused when she said that, but I told them we were 12 km away from Canterlot. It turned out that we were all headed towards the Ministry of Peace. We were 2 km away from Canterlot, but a giant Cybernetic pony came out of nowhere and tore PinkBerry in half, it was a horror to watch, but I told Big Dash and Taffy to hide. I called, “EDITH, choose Big Boy!”, in anger and sadness I fired as many rounds as possible, there was ten rounds, but each contained 2 mini nukes. I fired all twenty mini nukes until the giant Cybernetic pony exploded.

I rushed over to the torn PinkBerry and cried, I was told by the Power Armor to concentrate and channel my powers to save PinkBerry. I did what the armor told me and I concentrated as hard as possible until hoof started glowing yellow. Yellow sparkles came out of my hoof, covering the remains of PinkBerry, fixing her making it look as if nothing had happened. The other two knew and saw what I did. PinkBerry was as good as new and gave me a tight hug, which lasted for a minute. We headed back on track for the remaining 2 km and eventually reached Canterlot.

We made our way to the Ministry of Peace HQ and stopped at iron doors. Apparently PinkBerry worked there as a nurse. She pulled out an ID card and pressed it against a red scanner until it turned green. The iron doors opened with a hissing steam noise. We headed inside and the first pony I saw had pink hair and a yellow coat. A bunny came up to me and stared at me, I didn’t know what to do but the Power Armor saw that as a threat and the P.A.D.M kicked in. There were about twenty guards there who pointed their guns at my head, one of them ordered me to remove my armor and put away my weapons, I told EDITH to go back into passive mode, and the weapons were put away. I removed my armor, but as soon as I took off my helmet, the mare that I saw looked at me in shock and said, “Xander!”I didn’t know who this mare was, so I asked her for her name. She told me her name was ‘Fluttershy’ and wondered why I didn’t know her. I asked her why did she know my name and she replied, “You don’t remember me? I’m one of your best friends ‘Fluttershy’, I may know why you Don’t remember me”.
