Future Spike sends a message to the past.

The Tree of Harmony receives a message from a future Spike to Twilight.

This is a VERY weak spinoff to Fallout: Equestria and is not cannon.

This story includes spoilers to Fallout: Equestria and the Submachine games by Mateusz Skutnik.

Feel free to write a sequel to where Prologue 1 and/or Prologue 2 left off.

Prologue 1: The Message

"So Spike, what's on the schedule for today?" Twilight asked walking next to him.

"Not much. You have Royal Court in a few hours, other than that, nothing." Spike answered.

"Well I guess today is going to be pretty easy." Twilight said before her cutie mark and Spikes scales started to glow. "We're being called by the map Spike!" Twilight cheered excitedly.

"It's been awhile sense the last time you guys have been called." Spike said.

With a pop Twilight teleported them. "Okay, so where are we going?" She asked.

"It looks like The Castle of the Two Sisters, who would need help there?" Spike wondered.

"Could the Tree of Harmony need us for something?" Twilight asked.

"Well It's not exactly the "Tree" of Harmony any more, but ether way we should see." Spike said.

"You're right, we should go check." Twilight said before teleporting them to the castle.

"Good, you are here." The Tree of Harmony said in its sparkly version of Twilight.

"Are you the Tree of Harmony?" Twilight asked.

"Yes, but there is a reason I have called you both here." It answered. "I have received a recording sent from the future to you."

"You received a message from the future? How?" Asked Twilight.

"Spike from that time was using the fragments of the elements to send it. Such as you could still use the elements, so can I."

"So, what's the message?" Spike asked.

"I will play it for you now."

"I hope this is working. This is Spike, hopefully sending this to Twilight and my past self using what's left of the Elements of Harmony and the energy from the Gardens of Equestria. I'm recording this 200 years after The Great War with the zebras. I don't know whether I should say if we won or lost, because truly we all lost. During The Last Day when the Megaspells dropped everything ended. Equestria is a wasteland now. Ponies that were able to make it into one of the Stables are lucky. I've been hacking Sprite-Bots to survey the wasteland undetected. The ones that didn't make it either died from the explosion, died from the radiation, turned into zombie ponies or became ghoul ponies (basically zombies with a soul or living zombies). If ponies happened to live past, they either had to scavenge, or kill and then scavenge the pony they just killed and make sure whatever isn't radioactive. Without any order the wasteland became violent, with raiders and slavers while others are just trying to survive. I still try to figure out why the Ministry of Peace would release the schematics of the Megaspells to the zebras. That was the dumbest thing anypony in the history of even before Equestria has ever done. Even dumber then when Discord was pretending to be Grogar and tried to boost Twilight's confidence by having Sombra, Chrysalis, Cozy Glow and Tirek to attack her. I hope you all made it into one of the Stables before the apocalypse happened. Twilight I hope you get this and try to prevent this war and future from happening."

"That is the end of the message." Said The Tree of Harmony.

Twilight had a shocked look on her face while Spike was more worried.

"Twilight?" Spike said shaking Twilight.

"What do we do?" Twilight asked worried.

"Only you can choose how to prevent this future or not." The tree said before disappearing.

"Should we tell the others?" Asked Spike.

"I don't know Spike. I don't know."

Author's Note

I know I kinda left it on a cliffhanger, but if you know what Twilight might do please write a sequel to this. Will she try to prevent the future because it's not like it could be worse or would she think that her knowledge of knowing and interference would start this war instead of prevent it?

P.S. This chapter is a one-shot, Prologue 2 past is a canceled sequel to this, titled "Fallout Equestria: Twilight Through The Subnet" https://www.fimfiction.net/blog/924551/update-on-my-one-shot.

https://www.fimfiction.net/blog/932062/should-i-cancel-fallout-equestria-twilight-through-the-subnet I am re-adding those chapters because I was contacted by a Moderator on this site that took "The Alicorn Problem" down for doing what I did on this.

Prologue 2: The Decision

Author's Note

This is the beginning of a canceled sequel to "Fallout Equestria: A Message From The Future"
titled "Fallout Equestria: Twilight Through The Subnet" I added it to this to have it extend past 1000 words.

Prologue 2: The Decision

After the hole thing with the Tree of Harmony, Spike, the future, the Great War, the Megaspells, and the Last Day, Twilight could not focus on anything aside from Future Spike's warning. That night Twilight couldn't sleep, she kept having nightmares.

The next morning, Twilight spent the whole time modifying the mirror portal. "Twilight I really think this is a bad Idea." Spike said cautiously. "You've already messed with time travel more than once."

"First Spike we've only been to the past never the future and if I can figure out what starts the war I can prevent it." she answered.

"But we already know that it's coming, if we know that can't we just keep an eye out?" Spike asked.

"That's not good enough Spike. And this is the only way." Twilight said.

"But what if something goes wrong? You just became the new ruler, and if something does go wrong and the war still happens we'll need you." said Spike.

"Don't worry, I'll be back." she said before turning and walking through the portal.

Chapter: 32 Chambers

When Twilight woke up, she noticed she wasn't in the same place she last was. "Hah, where am I now?" Twilight asked looking around. "What's this? she said looking at a strange rusty machine with three numbers. Pressing the button it started to do something before parts broke off. Twilight sighed.

Continuing to look around the small room she noticed three glyphs. Twilight translated them as Greeting, Box, and Air. She couldn't do anything with the Greeting Glyph, but when she touched the Box Glyph it opened and revealed a stone plate with another glyph on it that read Autumn. Twilight them tried the Air Glyph, and in doing so opened a passage. Entering it she found a Jadeite before going down.

Exiting she began again to try and find a way out and prevent the future. "Why do I have this feeling that I should have listened to Spike." she thought. "No! I can't think like that, this is going to work, it has to if I can get out of here."

On the corner of a wall there was a big stone pony head with a slot in the wall next to it. On the other side She found what looked like some kind of handle. There was something on the wall that the handle was leaning against. Squinting her eyes Twilight noticed something off. Using her levitation magic that seemed to be the only magic she can do here, she grabbed another plate from the wall, this one with the symbol of Winter. "Winter, so I'm guessing there are probably two more of these."

Twilight not knowing what to do next tried potting the handle in the slot on the wall. It worked and on the other side of the room the floor opened. Twilight went down and grabbed a wooden stick that was just leaning against the wall.

Going the next room she grabbed a wooden bowl that was on the wall. There also seemed to something sticking up inside the wall. Twilight tried pressings it down but didn't seem to do anything. "Maybe if I put the bowl on it." It didn't work.

On the other side of the room Twilight found more glyphs that read "Air, wind and fire dig through the sand." she read before entering the next room.

Each room was mostly the same. Twilight pressed the square o the wall and it turned to reveal a glyph that read Wind. Twilight went back to that other room to reread what the order was. "Air, wind and fire." she read before going back and passing the square again that turned to reveal a different glyph that read Fire. She pressed it again that now read Sand. Twilight tried again and it spun to now read Air. "Finally." she said before going in the other two rooms to repeat the prosses with Wind and Fire.

In the second room there was another Jadeite and in the third room there was another Box Glyph. Twilight pressed it and it opened like the other one, only this one had a round stone. Twilight headed back and saw that a new floor opened.

Going down the ladder, Twilight found another Jadeite, and on the wall was a outline that looked kinda like the wooden stick she found and a hole under it that seemed to be able to fit it. Twilight took the stick and stuck it in the hole. After doing that it revealed a Topaz.

When Twilight reached the bottom there were more of those spears from the other location. Twilight looked down past the spears, there wasn't a floor. "Well, I can't go that way anyway sense I can't fly." she said before walking the opposite direction.

She found another Jadeite. "How many of these are there?" she said before she noticed a rope above her. Twilight tried to pull it down but it wouldn't budge. Continuing to walk there was a stone statue on the wall with three glyph under it, a Water Glyph a Drink Glyph and one that read ( Refutation - Denial - Rejection ).

Continuing, on the wall was a pony face and a wheel with more spears blocking the way. "More spears." Twilight groaned. Calming down examined the wheel. "Okay, now what does this do?" She asked spinning it. After turning it sand spilled out of the pony's mouth. Thinking Twilight held the bowl under it and filled it with sand.

Returning upstairs she and tried using the bowl again now that it was heavier. Twilight was feeling optimistic. She placed the bowl but it didn't work. It wasn't heavy enough. "Grrr." She growled. Heading back down to refill the sand Twilght suddenly shopped at the statues with the three glyphs. Twilight facehoofed. "I'm and Idiot." She said.

Refilling the bowl she poured it in the cup that the statue had. She heard and saw that there is now a rope she can climb.

If you have ever played the "Submachine" games by Mateusz Skutnik, you will notice chapters 0 and 32 Chambers are basically beat for beat from the games. And do to the number of games and how long some of them are it would take a long time and be very tiring for me. I only really wanted to do something with the games to get more attention because it has an interesting lore and that there are no crossover stories with "Submachine", but I believe it deserves better than just a lazy beat for beat and replacing whoever you play as and the characters you learn about with MLP characters and change the ending of "Submachine: 10" to better match "Fallout Equestria" and better link it to Prologue 1. I'm unable to provide the skill to write a better story off "Submachine" so that is why it is canceled.
