Fallout Equestria New Horizons: Demon Mares

The rest of the walk Blackjack avoided groups of Harbingers as they galloped around shouting, panicking, and carrying supplies. Taking an elevator up several stories, the cyber mare hanged herself to the ceiling, expecting an attack when the door opened. Sure enough when the door chrome doors sled open a hell storm of bullets followed. Blackjack just simply waited unlit their guns clicked than sprung into action with her 12.7mm pistol, putting three bullets between the eyes of three armored ponies. Checking around to see if any more surprises awaited she walked towards a set of white double doors with an icon of a pony holding a shovel on it.

Walking through double doors she was greeted with a large atrium with five rolls of seats and three sets of them facing a stage nestled into the wall, a red carpet set open to both sides revealing the actors underneath. A grey pegasus mare with a velvet mane set tied to a chair, her eyes stared back with fear yet wanting at the cyber mare as her sight fell on her. Behind her stood her mirror image but older with more aged features, her eyes stood closed yet Blackjack knew she was looking if the grin on her face was anything to go by.

Blackjack's blood boiled as she walked down the walkway between the seats. Her eyes shined red as she narrowed her view at the Prophet of the Harbingers. “Give me Glory Dawn and I might just drop the blood feud between us.” She didn’t know if she meant it that but she needed to at least get Glory away from her Mother

Dawn just cocked her head at that. “You storm my building, kill my followers, unleash an army of gangers onto this Temple, prevent our goddess plan to become fulfilled, and Now you want peace?” She chuckled a bit at that. “I think we’re passing the peace point, now it’s either you go or I do. Or you could surrender the rest of EC-1101?"

“Not a chance in hell.” Blackjack snarled.

“Well too bad.”

“Blackjack, it's a trap! RUN!” Glory yelled out causing her mother to hold her down.

Dawn gestured with her wing, and in an instant ponies came flooding in from doors around the room, not dozens but scores of them armed with magical energy weapons, battle saddles equipped with miniguns or flamers and anti-material rifles. Within seconds she was surrounded with enough firepower to fight a war. Blackjack thought Dawn must have called in half her force just to deal with her, which gave her some pride.

“Brought out your whole congregation to deal with me huh?” She smiled wickedly. “Well let's give you some new followers.”

Before Dawn could order them to fire, a flash appeared in front of the cyber mare, from it the familiar form of an Alicorn dress in a funeral dress appeared. To her side, the heavy armored spiked form of Rampage trotted up, but she was joined by a large collection of ponies and griffins wearing the iconic Reaper armor. A light blue bubble surrendered them as the Alicorn’s horn glowed.

“Yo Dawn long time no see,” Rampaged shouted joyfully at the pegasus. “What you haven’t been with your old flame in 40 years and this is how you greet me? What were you planning an orgy to get me back?”

“Open fire! Kill them” The calm posture Dawn excluded faded giving way to an angry shouting mess. The scores of Harbingers fired on the bubble, creating a light show of destruction as bullets, magical energy, and missiles impacted its surface but the shield held as Lacunae withstood the strain.

Blackjack pulled out her 45. Revolver, holding it and the 12.7 in the talons of both hooves she grinded her teeth. “Let’s get reaping.”

Answering the fire of the Harbingers the Reapers opened fire, their bullets going through the shield blowing apart harbingers. Lacunae Lifted her grenade launcher and began pepping custers of ponies with explosives, blowing apart many and causing others to flee. Rampage grabbed a veil with her hoof claw and smashed it across herself. Sprouting wings she took to the air, leaving the shield to drive toward the Harbingers in the balconies above. The first pony the that came into her view was decapitated with one swing of Reaper mare’s hoof claws. More followed suited as Rampage impaled pony after pony in her spikes, throwing their bodies off into Atruim below. Blackjack put bullet after bullet into every Harbinger's head with experted targeting, no a single bullets was wasted as she counted the number of ponies killed, every time she ran out of ammo one gun she quickly threw out a cartilage and replaced while firing with the other.

The Harbingers fell back overwhelmed by the carnage the Reapers unleashed. Dawn fled with Glory in toe through a door behind the stage as soon as the fighting started. When the shooting stopped the room was a mess of Harbinger corpses surrounding the bubble. bullets holes littered the room with fire threaten to consume the whole area

Blackjack looked at the stage where Dawn fled with her wife, looking back at the rest of the Reapers she pointed to three mares who trotted up at the gesture. One was a caramel unicorn mare wielding a shotgun in her magic, the other was a turquoise mare holding a set of hoof cuffs in her teeth, and the last a red mare with a giant hammer that sparkled with energy. Blackjack held upheld three talons to them. “Mullet’s, Cuffe’s, Smoky. Split up into three teams and cleanse this building of filth, spare only the foals if you find them but leave no pony else alive. I’m taking my team and going after Dawn.” The three mares nodded, turning and giving orders to the Reapers.

Blackjack cocked her guns, weaving Rampage and Lacunae to follow her. the trio trotted along, checking their weapons as they went, their mission was clear, their minds were set. Dawn would die that day even if they had to ripped every brick in the building apart. They would rip and tear until it’s done.

The mares trotted down the hallway, the red hue lights mixing with clean white of the walls creating a feeling of eeriness in the air. As they trotted a group of four ponies armed with melee weapons held in their teeth charged them as they entered a crossroads. Rampage galloped towards them before they could try anything, biting on to the nose of one amber mare, tearing it off and spitting it into the face of a large grey buck. A pitch-black stallion to her side tried to charge but was met with a buck from her hindlegs that broke his neck in one hit. Charging, Rampage wrapped her left hoof around the right hoof of the grey buck, then ripped it off with a simple yank. The last of the ponies, a purple mare tried to gallop away but the armored mare of death was faster and caught up with her. Leaping with such force the ground under her cracked, landing on her foe crushing the mare into the lump form of pony and guts. By the end of it, the hall looked like a villain from a slasher movie came through. The mares just kept their trot as if nothing happened.

The next hallway brought its own dangers as the form of a large four-legate beneath crept into view, it’s pony like metal body looked like it could take a rocket to the chest and keep moving as if nothing happened. It carried three mounted weapons, a minigun in its chest that rotated in a circular formation, two arms to its sides that held missile launcher ports in one, and a magical Gatling gun in the other.

As the towering form of the death machine spotted them it opened fire turning the hallway into a cascade of bullets and colorful beams of energy. Lacunae’s horn flared up, but instead of creating a shield around her friends, she created one around the robot, stopping it’s fire before it reached them. As the machine kept firing Lacunae shrunk her shield little by little, the death machine's own fire began to tear into itself. The shield finally enclosed the death machine, crushing it while it destroyed itself with a launch of its own rocket. Releasing her magic spell, Lacunae let out a breath of reprieve, then the mares continued their march towards their target.

Finally, they came upon an elevator with the same icon of a pony holding a shovel. As the trio stopped at the entrance Blackjack fired off her revolver in quick succession, her bullets embedding themselves into thin air. Energy crackled off the bodies of six ponies who appeared out of nowhere than fell to the ground. “Stealth Bucks are only as good as it’s wearer fools.”

Blackjack walked up to the control panel, pressing a button called ‘Presidential suite’ the cyber mare’s eyes glowed when the door opened, as she looked around for traps then gestured for her friends to enter. As the door shut the sound of weird electronic music began playing from the speakers, that Blackjack and Lacunae blocked out as best they could with the cyber mare playing her own music in her head, Rampage was the only one swinging to the beat. “Yo Blackjack tell Applebloom to download the soundtracks from this place when we’re done?”

The cyber mare just stared at her. “Really we’re going into our biggest fight and you only care about getting some new tracks to listen to?”

The strange stripe mare gave ‘yeah’ making the cyber mare shake her head. “Fine, but after we’re done here got it?” The stripe mare stomped in glee shaking the elevator much to the annoyance of her companions.

Finally, the elevator stopped, the doors slid open revealing the large living room with marvel floors, sitting on a couch humming a tune Dawn looked at the warm sight of a roaring blaze in the fireplace. She turned to them with the same closed eyes motherly smile she gave everypony. “Well Blackjack your one deter-”

Blackjack stomped into the room and pointed a talon violently towards the mare. “No! Shut the fuck up! No more talking, no more bartering, no more Fucking Mercy. Just shut up and FIGHT!”

The pegasus simply just shrugged her shoulders nonecaring. “Okay.”

Her eyes opened quickly, the purple pupils turning from a light hue to a violet glow. The black jumpsuit that surrounded her body tore as talon spring forth from her hooves, her limbs extended ripping cloth revealing black metal plates underneath that glowed a sickly green in a hexagon pattern. Her wings became sharp spikes spreading out further and further unit the mare became an almost nightmarish version of an angel pony. The motherly smile she kept on her face became a disturbing grin as she looked towards the Security Mares.

“Well now let’s get started shall we.”

Blackjack and Lacunae opened fire, the combined bullets of pistols and minigun forcing the pegasus to dodge to the left. Rampage rushed her, launching herself into the air than doing a flip and spin bringing her hindlegs to bear toward the cyber pegasus face. Dawn simply just grabbed the legs with her foretalons, then swung the striped mare back at her friends, causing Blackjack to jump over the body as it smashed into Lacunae’s shield. The cyber mare bum-rushed her with sword drawn, Lacunae ceased firing as she helped Rampage up, Blackjack attacked Dawn with sword and pistol, the two doing a dance of death as the cyber mare’s shots and sword strikes were met with counters from one of Dawn’s metal feathers. Finally, Blackjack made contact with a slice across the pegasus mid-section, but it was only a flesh that was quickly countered by Dawn embedding her right hinetalons into Blackjack’s chest. It pierce the armor but didn't connect with flesh, the cyber mare quickly recovered and tried to shoot the pegasus dead center in the face but Dawn threw her to the side, Blackjack falling into the kitchen as she flew.

Lacunae’s horn lit up again forming dozens of magical arrows, while Rampage took a battle stance. Dawn took to the air and drove towards them at such speed both mares had little time to react, the alicorn's cascade of arrows flew at the coming death angel but Dawn put her wings up as a shield as they sped towards her, Rampage tried to charge while the pegasus was protecting herself, but one wing just swatted her to the side as the other kept the pegasus safe. Lacunae quickly put a shield around herself hoping it would protect her from the coming attack, but Dawn lowered her wings as she closed the distance than slashed at the shield with her foretalons, cutting through it like a knife through butter. Before the alicorn could react Dawn slashed at both her chest and neck creating huge gashes in the mare’s body. Lacunae fell back with a look of shock on her face, Dawn stood over ready to deliver the final blow but hoof claws embedded themselves into her side as she was pushed with violent force away from her foe. She was slammed against the wall, the claws going deeper inside causing a black liquid to leak from the wound, looking through dazed eyes at her attacker she was greeted with the sight of an enraged Rampage.

Through pain breathes she spit. “Found a new toy to impale me with Rampage?” She laughed as she coughed up blood, Rampage just shrunk the claws deeper and deeper. Dawn grab one of the forelegs with her talons and drove the other into the stripe mare’s armored chest than with a yank she tore the hoof stabbed into her off the striped mare, pushing her back then took to the air, her talons still embedded into the armor carrying Rampage up with her. Rampage tried to stab the mare with the other hoof as the tore off one regrew, but Dawn lifted the mare above her and smashed her into the ceiling. Before Rampage could act Dawn grab left hoof with her right talons and tore off the remaining limb. From there Dawn began to rip and tear the mare faster than she could regenerate, pieces of meat and metal rained down from the ceiling creating a room looked like a blood fest, various organs and spikes laying everywhere. When she was done pealing Rampage like an orange all that was left was a pink glowing orb that radiant a heart in its center.

Flapping her metal wings Dawn lowered herself down while holding the orb wanting in her talons. She stared at it with cold eyes. “I can finally give you the death you wanted my old mare.” her talons glowed and the orb begin to crack little by little in her grip, but she was shot in the flank before she could break it.

Looking to her side she saw Blackjack stepping out of the kitchen with the 12.7mm smokin, a shooty expression on her face. “Kill me before you touch anyone else you understand me?”

Dawn nodded then picked up the orb and threw into the fireplace. The orb glowed pink as flesh tried to grow around but it was burned away by the flames. Dawn turned towards Blackjack, her talons sharpening, her bloodlust growing. Both mares took reading positions ready to be unleash in a savage slashing release. As the sounds of war could be heard throughout the building and outside both mares just waited.

Finally Dawn moved and both rushed each over, Blackjack fired her gun as they closed the distance but Dawn blocked every shot with her hooves. As they clashed Dawn knocked the pistol from Blackjack’s talons into the air, where it landed on the balcony above to some pony's hooves. Finally facing each other, both mares just slashed at each other with reckless abandonment, cutting through boths armor, tearing each other apart piece by piece. Blackjack tore off her left wing, while slashed her left eye, finally Dawn slab the mare in the stomach causing her to fall. Before Blackjack could get up Dawn smashed her down with her right hind leg, lumping over the cyber mare she ready herself for the kill.

“This is what happens demons fight an angel, they get SMITHED!” she drove her foretalons at the mare’s neck.

The loud bang of a pistol went off, a hole formed in Dawn’s head. The pegasus fell back confused, barely able to process what was happening. All she did was look up, another bang and a hole blasted into her eye socket. She uttered a word before falling over.

Blackjack got up while holding her the wound in her chest, her left eye being the only one that could gaze up at her savior. Who she saw made her heart stop, above her Glory held her family’s 12.7mm pistol in her mouth, the barrel still smoking from the shot. Blackjack saw the hurt look in her eye and tried to get up and confronted her but she fell. Glory getting knocked out of her trace spit the gun out rushing Blackjack’s side.

“I’m sorry Glory. I should have come sooner.” Two embrace in a hug as the pegasus cried into her wife’s chest. “I’m sorry, so sorry.”

“I thought you were gonna die.”

“I will never die as long as you're in danger, I will fight to my last breath to make sure you're safe.” Blackjack hugged tightly, hoping that moment would never end.

As Glory broke off she looked over her wife, gasping at the wounds the cyber mare suffered. “Your hurt badly, we need to get you a healing potion.”

“I’m fine Glory, nothing a few meals of gems can’t handle.” Blackjack thanked Apple Bloom for the self repairing talisman in her, the girl thought of everything.

Glory just shook her head. “After all these years you're still that Stable Pony who throws herself into the fire for others.”

“Hey what can I say. Security saves ponies, it’s a hard habit to break and you know my bad habits.”

That mare the pegasus smiled, even after all these years the pony she fell for was still there. Still the loveable goofball in the face of it all.

Helping the others was an easy task, a quick bottle of magical radiation filled water and Lacunae was moving again. For Rampage all they did was remove the orb from the fire place, ten wait as the flesh regrew.

As the other got their bearings Glory looked upon the still form of her mother, a knot forming in her throat. “Blackjack, can you do something for me?”

Blackjack stopped at her wife’s tone change. “What is Glory?”

“After all of this is done I want to bury my mom at Chapel.”
