Fallout Equestria: The Outcast

We met back up with Amy the next day in her quarters to discuss the route of Ten Pony Tower.

“Ah hello everypony”, she greeted us happily, “We are on our way to Ten Pony Tower, but there is a little problem …”,

“What problem?”, I asked worried trying to suppress the notion of us being thousands of bottlecaps in debt,

“We can get to the outskirts of the Manehatten Ruins, but there is no river leading into the ruins or even close to Ten Pony Tower.”, Amy explained,

“There is another way”, I said, “If we get into the sea and get close enough Bone, Dave, Diamond and Mitch can combine their magic to teleport us and the ship to the roof of Ten Pony Tower.”,

“Are you sure this will work if either Bone, Mitch or both of them are drunk again?”, Gillian asked,

“Good point!”, Amy added, “We have to take the journey by hoof!”, we agreed on getting towards the ruins and walk the rest. After our discussion the sun had nearly set and so we walked to the hatch, Mitch and Bone separated themselves from the group quickly, most likely for another drinking party, I thought, , Gillian went straight back to her engine room and Diamond and I walked some time in silence before I said,

“Diamond I want to be honest to you, has anypony ever told you what we are after?”,

“I know you´re searching for a data pad with some kind of code on it.”,

“Well yes we are but that’s not the whole truth…..”, I explained, “the code we are after is for the complete destruction of a file we have in Ten Pony Tower, that file contains the blueprints for a power armor so strong you are unkillable and loaded with weapons and those factions who captured us are after those plans to conquer the wasteland.”.

I could see how her ever-present smile slowly faded as she realized what this means, I added,

“And I´d prefer it if you would stay here with Amy and her crew, you´ll be safer with them”, she looked at me for a solid second and the answered,

“I will think about it.”. We both walked to our rooms and I just lay down in my bed.

I woke up being looked up and down by an orange mare with cowboy hat,

“Ah you´re awake sugar cube.”, she said,

“Awake?”, I asked, “I thought this is a dream”,

“Sure you are, don´t confuse him Applejack!”, Pinkie said hopping to her side,

“Confuse him? I´m confused myself Pinkie, I was fucking dead and the next thing I knew was me waking up here! We all should be dead!”, her eyes teared up as she talked,

“Us, Big Mac, Applebloom and her friends, we´re all dead!”,

“So you’re as clueless as I am about what this is and why you are here?”, I asked trying to switch the topic,

“Oh no darling, we know where we are, this is your dream, we just don´t know why.”, Rarity explained as I stood up,

“I was just inspecting your armor, or rather the patches of metal on your barding…… just give me a few seconds”, Applejack added. She trotted over to the plaza, searched for a spot, sat down, waved her hoof and a small workshop appeared,

“Wha …... How…. What?”, I stuttered trying to wrap my head around what just happened, an earth pony could do such feeds of magic,

“This is a dream”, I heard Rainbow Dash shout, “You can do whatever you want!”, she was not far away from the plaza fighting off zebras with her bare hooves. Note to self: everything’s possible on the plaza.

“Come here sugar cube!”, Applejack shouted from the workshop, so I walked over and sat down next to her, “Making armor is simple, making armor better is even simpler.”, she waved her hoof again and my armor disappeared and reappeared on the desk, “You just take your armor and find a bunch of scrap metal”, which promptly appeared to her left, “Now take off the old metal, every armor has a bit of fabric under it, then you take big pieces of scrap metal and cut them into hexagons or any other shape of your choice, and put them all over the fabric, now you take the smaller pieces that you couldn´t use for the hexagons and put a bunch of them in the oven, after that give it some time to cool down.

Now you have a mushy metal substance, now just fill the gaps between your shapes of choice and let it harden, now you have a metal armor that should be able to stop most bullets.”,

” Wow!”, I exclaimed with wide eyes, “That looks really easy!”,

“Fire!”, Pinkie shouted and I spun my head around to look at the pink mare, “Good luck with Amy!”, she added.

Once again everything went black and I woke up back in my bed with my old armor. I walked up and out the hatch to get some fresh air and was greeted by Mitch and Bone sitting at a table drinking,

“Have you been drinking since yesterday?”, I asked stunned, “No just for the last 5 hours”, Bone answered and grabbed another bottle of Wild Pegasus, the 8th if I counted the empty ones correctly. Amy trotted up next to me,

“Oh good you´re awake I´m gonna need your help.”, she said, “With what?”, I asked, “Getting those two away from the alcohol, otherwise this is going to turn into another one of my dad’s 12 hour drinking sessions”, she answered,

“Ok I grab Bone you grab your dad”, I said taking a step towards the now completely shitfaced stallions, she just nodded and we both jumped them at the same time earning a look that could kill a Gul from both of them and even if they were piss drunk they still fought back.

BOOM.

A massive explosion sounds as if somepony detonated another Balefire Bomb and as we looked around for the source. The cloud curtain was enveloped by a green flash that seemed to wander across the sky and within the blink of an eye the impenetrable indestructible cloud curtain was gone.

“What…? How…? How the fuck did just happen? How is that possible?”, I stammered as I watched the strongest clouds the weather factory turned out being destroyed within seconds,

“A Sonic Rainboom.”, Mitch said, “That green light must have been a Sonic Rainboom.”,

“But isn´t that impossible? Wouldn’t a Pegasus have to break the sound barrier to do that?”, Diamond asked,

“Yes, the stories say the only Pegasus to ever do that was the mare of the Ministry of Awesome and she did it twice.”, Bone explained, “That´s impossible. there are millions of Pegasi in the Enclave and no one has ever pulled it off!”, I said my eyes still locked on the sky, admittedly the Enclave was fast to patch it back up.

“Land ahead!”, came from Amy, which finally freed my eyes from the sky,

„Great we´re finally here!”, I said, “now it´s just a day’s walk to Ten Pony Tower!”,

“Then let´s go!”, Amy said,

“Come on Mitch let´s get our guns.”, Bone exclaimed,

“Hold up! My dad is staying here!”,

“No can-do Amy darling I´m coming with Wind!”, Mitch answered back,

“Wind?”, Diamond and I asked confused,

“Yes let´s get our guns!”, Bone said quickly and pulled him down the hatch, at the same time Gillian emerged from the hatch and talked to Diamond, I couldn´t hear what they were saying but after they finished Gillian gave the small unicorn a peck on the cheek. Gillian asked Amy, “

Do you still have it?”,

“Yes I do.”, Amy answered, “I kept it just like you asked me too.”,

” What is this all about?”, I asked, “What did she keep?”.
