Fallout Equestria: Days Gone
Chapter Four: Old Friends
Previous ChapterNext ChapterThe first place was Cloudsdale, home to the burial place of Rainbow Dash. As I reached the doors of the Ministry of Awesome, the two guards immediately pointed their guns at me and told me to state my business here. I told them I was here to see the grave of Rainbow Dash, the guards saw me as a visitor and let me in, I walked down this long isle where Rainbow Dash’s coffin was. I made it to the coffin and placed my hooves on it. The five guards guarding it was wondering what I was doing, I used my power to bring back Rainbow Dash and reverse the death, making her young as before we last saw each other, as I did with Fluttershy. She came out of the coffin coughing, I waited for her to settle down and for her to notice me standing there. As soon as she saw me, I took off my helmet and she gave me a bear hug. I got her to kneel as I said, “I now grant you immortal life to forever keep the name of the Mane Six living”. She was asking about the others, but I told her they are all dead except Fluttershy and how I gave her immortality. I also told her about my journey to find the remaining four. She said she should come along just in case.
Next up is Applejack, she had died as did Sweetie Bell. The place they both died was stable 02, but I had to go alone because I knew I was wanted for execution by the Overmare running the stable. I told Rainbow Dash to head to the Ministry of Peace and say, ‘Xander’, to enter. I flew as quick as I could to Stable 02, eventually reaching the Stable Door. There were two guards on duty, as soon as I confronted them for permission to enter, they knew that I was Xander and pointed their guns at me. The Power Armor threw a knife slitting the throat of one of the guards, slowly making the guard bleed out. I walked up to the other guard and ripped off her hoof so I could get access around the stable. But something inside me wasn’t finished with the guard, I walked back to the guards and tore her in half, with my bear hooves. I used the hoof to open the Stable door and walked in. I had to be stealthy, so I activated the Power Armor Stealth System (or P.A.S.S) which rendered me invisible. I went to the Orchard Garden where Sweetie Bell and Applejack were buried. I dug out their graves, put their bodies next to each other and
used my power to bring them back to life, reverting them so Applejack was as young as when I last saw her and turned Sweetie Bell into her young mare self. I granted them both with immortality and told them to come with me back to the Ministry of Peace. As we reached the door, behind us was 20 guards. I pushed Applejack and Sweetie bell out the door telling them to hurry up and go, and that I would deal with the guards. As the door closed, I looked at the guards in anger. I didn’t want bloodshed, but I didn’t have control over myself anymore, there was a monster inside me that had been locked away for a long time and was ready to be released. My eyes turned crimson red and my body looked as if it was glitching.
I didn’t use weapons this time, only my hooves. I killed every guard that started to shoot at me, I snapped necks, tore them in half, ripped limbs and took their horns as a prize. There was one guard left, she didn’t shoot at me at all, I showed mercy for the soul that was in fear, sparing her to tell the tale. I wore the horns as a necklace, the horns still bleeding all over my body. I put on my armor and went to find Rarity next. Rarity is in the meeting room in the Ministry of Peace building. I headed back to Canterlot to find the body. When I arrived, I entered the building without removing my Power Armor because my body wouldn’t stop looking glitched. I headed to the meeting room where Fluttershy, Applejack, Sweetie Bell, Rainbow Dash, Taffy, Big Dash and PinkBerry were standing around Rarity’s corpse. Rarity was half inside and half outside, I used my power to dematerialize the glass to let Rarity’s corpse in, making the glass back to a solid and reverting Rarity’s death and making her young again. I granted her immortality. She looked around as she was confused and aware at the same time. I had no time to lose so I headed out to find Pinkie Pie.
As I was headed to the Ministry of Morale, I came across Stable 0 and saw a skeleton half into the ground. It turned out it was Apple Bloom’s skeleton, I dug out the skeleton and reversed the death, granting her immortality and told her to head back to the Ministry of Peace and say ‘Xander’ so that she could enter. I continued walking until I reached the Ministry of Morale, I walked inside towards Pinkie Pie’s skeleton on the ground. I reverted her death and told her to head back to the Ministry of Peace. I asked EDITH where we go next, EDITH told me to head to Rainbow Dash’s shack, but I didn’t know where it was, so I called up Rainbow Dash and she told me to go to a small shack on a high cliff not far from New Appleloosa and the Rock of Destiny.
I started to head towards Ponyville because there’s an old cliff I used to hang around, maybe the sack is there. As I reached, there was a familiar pony that was just leaving, it looked like Littlepip! I was told by the suit to not interact with her, so I made a paper airplane with a note saying, “It’s Xander”, nothing else. I walked into the shack and found the skeleton of Scootaloo. I brought her back and did what I always do, revert age, immortalize, send to the Ministry of Peace, all that crap. Now that I've reunited the Cutie Mark Crusaders, I was headed to get one last pony, Twilight Sparkle.
I headed back to Canterlot to the Ministry of Arcane to find Twilight. As I reached the gates, I could hear mechanical whirring and steam from the old pipes. I entered the building and I saw broken glass everywhere with inventions everywhere. What really caught my eye was a giant Megaspell bomb just sitting in front of me. I walked around until I tripped over something, I looked at what tripped me, and it was the skeleton of Twilight. I turned her back to normal, but as soon as she was fully conscious, she tasered me out of fear because I was in my Power Armor. The taser was set at 1000 volts, penetrating my armor and shocking me unconscious. When I woke up, I was tied to a chair in a dark room. A light turned on above me and a chair was in front of me, soon enough Twilight came to interrogate me. There were so many questions that I didn’t answer them, soon enough Twilight wanted to see who I was, she took off my helmet and she was shocked to see me. She came to me and hugged me; I could feel her tears on my armor. I took her back to the Ministry of Peace.
When we entered, everypony was waiting for us. We took a few steps and everypony ran to Twilight and hugged her tightly. I knew that I had a two more ponies to find, so before they could come to me, I was already gone. I headed towards Canterlot Castle to find Princess Luna and Princess Celestia. I made it to the castle, I walked inside and saw a black alicorn looking pony dead on the ground, but I also saw a fire pit with a jar with ashes. I looked at the jar and it had Luna printed on it. I opened up the jar and realized that Luna has been cremated. I could repair the soul, but not the body. I used my magic to create a replica of Princess Luna and placed it on the floor. I took the ashes and spread it all over the replicated body and used my power to infuse the ashes bringing her back to life. It worked! But the weirdest thing was that she said, “Brother?”, I was confused, she was fully conscious and knew what she was saying. I asked her what she meant by that and she said, “You are Xander, the missing brother of me and Princess Celestia”. I couldn’t argue because after I immortalized her, I could feel my immortality turning more mortal. I told her to go wait at the Ministry of Peace, but she asked me where I was going. I told her that I was going to find Celestia, but she insisted on coming with me, but she brought the others that were at the Ministry of Peace along just in case.
We went to the Ministry of Awesome because Princess Celestia’s soul was uploaded to the Crusader Maneframe during the Single Pony Project (or S.P.P). I quickly went to the Maneframe and hacked the whole thing, when I was in, everypony was shocked because the technology for the S.P.P is very high. Getting into it should’ve taken years, but it took me one minute. When I was going through the files, I saw a message saying, “Help me! Get me out!”, it was sent the second I hacked in, as if somepony was watching me. I realized it was Princess Celestia and quickly made a replica body for her. I opened the body’s horn and plugged a USB cord into it, downloading Celestia into the body. The second the download was complete, we heard the body coughing, and it turned out that Celestia’s mind was uploaded back in. When I put my hoof on Celestia’s had when she knelt down before me to immortalize her, Princess Luna told me that I shouldn’t do it because I would become fully mortal, but I told her that it’s fine and better me than anypony else. As soon as I finished the immortalization, I fell to the ground due to me turning to a mortal. I got up and said, “let me make you guys Power Armor, I don’t want anypony to get hurt on my watch”. I created as many as I could, but I only had made ten because there was very little supply, but there were twelve of us and PinkBerry didn’t have armor. I offered my Power Armor to her and she told me she couldn’t take it because I was mortal and could die, but I told her I’ll be fine and I don’t want her to have missing limbs like I did (Wings and horn).
We walked outside and the second I got out because I was the last one, a beast of some sort came behind me and tore me apart like a candy wrapper and ate the inside of me. As soon as the beast was done with me, it made a noise and the others noticed. They turned around to see that I was in half with missing guts. They saw the beast and attacked it with everything they had, finally the beast was down and PinkBerry cut of its head in anger and sadness. They came to my body and stood there and cried, PinkBerry placed her arms on my head and said, “I wish I could’ve told you earlier what I should’ve”. My body started to fade away to rainbow sparkles, but all I saw was darkness with a red button labelled ‘Fresh Start’, I pushed it and I was back, behind them. I stepped on a twig and the noise startled Rainbow Dash, which she immediately shot me with ten rounds using a machine gun, but the bullets deflected off my body, as if I was immune. She realized it was me and everypony looked at me, PinkBerry ran up to me and kissed me on the lips for five seconds, she said, “I thought you were dead”, I told her, “Guess Gods aren’t allowed to die unless they fulfilled their duty”. Everypony else was shocked by the fact that PinkBerry, Fluttershy’s daughter, kissed me on the lips for five seconds.
