Fallout Equestria: A Gamer's Wasteland
Suiting up
Previous ChapterNext ChapterAfter a good while of arguing me and pip find Tempest, Calamity, Winona at the bar when they see us only one thing they said. "What the hell happened to you two. "
Why did they say that, well we both have bruises and scratches over each other and both have black eyes.
"Jeez kid Candi just fixed ya up. "
"Well blame this stubburn mule. "
"Oh that's rich coming from you pippy. "
She growl. "Stop calling me that. "
"Never. "
"Alright, alright calm down you two, you sound like an old married couple." Then we both yell at him.
"We do not! "
He laughs." Even says the same things when's the honeymoon. "
"Shut up!" We yell again and then sit on opposite sides of calamity.
"Man too easy. "
"Keep it up cowboy you'll be eating that hat. "
"Sure. "
Then the bar keep comes up to us.
"What'll you be having. "
"Apple cider if you got it if not surprise me. "Tempest says she'll have the same, he says that'll be fifty caps, I reach into my pocket but in fact I was reaching into my inventory and pull out the caps and put them on the counter and slide them to him and he checks them.
"Dude they're bottle caps not bits in the days of old. "
"Still have to check son."
"Whatever just please get our drinks it's be a long couple days for me and tempest. "
He shrugs and takes em then the second bar keep is tuning the radio and finds what's he's looking for. "Hey everypony DJ-pon3 is on. "
Everyone shuts up and listen in.
"Hey everypony this is DJ-Pon3 coming to live with some news, looks like those raiders down in ponyville were taken out by a stable pony saving a few ponies along the way, then a few days later another pony showed up guns ablazing killing more raiders in harsher ways I haven't seen in years you know what that means ponies our courrier is back so I have a special thank you to this stable pony and a welcome back to the wastelands greatest hero let's welcome and welcome back them with a sweetiebelle classic. "Music starts playing and I recognize it as one of the songs me and sis sang to each other so we'd get to sleep faster.
"I'm coming little song bird, I may not be taking you back but I need to make sure you didn't get yourself killed. "
But then the music cuts off and another stallions voice comes on as I recgonize as red-eye from him taking over some sprite-bots.
"Not this asshole. "
"Know him kid. "
"Not officially got some info out of a raider first day out go a feel for all the big players out here but some of his buddies had me pin in ponyville had to kill them. "
"Wait ponyville you weren't the fella that killed those raiders down there."
"Yep also rescued tempest there now I'm helping her get back home. "
"Fehw I thought the courier was back they said he was a mad pony."
"Oi watch your words. "
"Oh you one of his fans. "
"You could say that."
"Well I'm just saying what a lot of ponies think."
I pull out path and point it between his eyes, and give a deadly glare. "Watch what you say about me and my sisters father you feathered mule. "
Everyone except tempest look at me with pure shock and fear.
"Wait your the Courier kid." Calamity says.
"One of them, yes."
"Holy shit the most deadly pony in the wasteland settled down."
"Oh believe me with how my mom is now I think my dad could have done better." Then pip chimes in.
"So mister Valent shield was originally from out here. "
"Apparently so. "
"Then who let him in and he was the head of security. "
"Oh believe me pip my moms going to be answering a shit ton of questions after I'm done checking on my sis. "
"Checking on, don't you mean finding and rescuing. "
I lower my gun and sigh looking at pip sadly. "No pip I'm so sorry you got caught up in this. "
She looks at me as soon as she realises." Y-you knew. "
"It was supposed to be a simple thing she didn't want to be pressured and caged by our mother before my sister got her cutie mark you know what she wanted to be. "She doesn't say anything but shakes her head. "A doctor she wanted to help other ponies to be a healer, she even helped out in the medical wing, but as soon as her cutie mark appeared she was forced to give it up, I didn't know-." I was cut off by her slapping me hard and walking out, my mane covering my eyes.
-35
"Heh thought that might happen. "
"Kid you alright." Calamity asks.
"Yeah I'll be fine." Then my attention is caught but a hand on my shoulder, I look and see tempest with a sad smile and feel Winona nuzzle against my leg. "Heh thanks you two. "
"No problem you helped me least I can do is return the favor, I'll go talk to her see if I can't help. "
"Be my guest that mare is stubborn."
"She remainds me of super stubborn stallion. "She says before walking off to find pip.
"Yeah who-, hey." The last thing I hear from her is a giggle. "Damn it I walk in to that one. "
"You sure did. "
"Zip it cowboy. "Then bartender finally brings me and tempest's cider. "Thanks."
"No problem kid. "
I pop off the top of my cider and start drinking. Then a pop up shows. 'Oh come the buck on.' I thought as I saw the skill.
Poison resistance LVL: 1 EXP: 00.26
Nullifies most poisonous materials and substances
'I can't even get drunk properly great. 'I thought annoyed and just kept drinking after I finished I decided to take a walk around the town and fined it to be a seemingly normal town but something bothered me.' How are they getting their supplies I didn't see a town on way and well I might check my map. 'I bring up my pip-buck. 'Hmm bring up territory map and run a scan see if their are town close by and anything else like potential material spots. '
[Acknowledged]
Then the holographic map pulls up I don't notice the pony on lookers and it's a complete map of the area. 'Well not suprising dad would have needed to come though here to get to stable 2, Hmm there are some close by and what is that icon.' It looks like mask of some kind and it looks like it's in one of the material patches. 'Hmm maybe I show check it out maybe give pip sometime to cool off.' Winona nuzzles my leg. "Hehe I know you want to come with, I could use the company anyway." We head to the gate as I memorize the way their, we make it their and guard posted asks. "What's your bussiness here."
"Going outside."
"Why is that. "
"Winona here wants to stretch her legs. "
The guard looks at the the large canine who plays along with my lie by over excitingly jumping around.
"Alright but make sure you get back before dark we lock up the gates then. "
"Roger that boss. "
They open up and we head out and follow the direction I memorized from the map it was pretty far out and I've been keeping an eye on my detection skill and motion tracker on my pip-buck when we get there it looked like a junkyard, me and Winona walk up to the entrance but what happens next we didn't expect turrets pop out of the ground and aim at me. Oh buck me. But then something else pops out that looks weird but then I hear a robotic voice ring out.
Verify identity or be fire upon
"How do I do that." Then it says again.
Place pip-buck through scanner
Warning: if pip-buck doesn't match identification codes you have thirty seconds to flee
'Wonderful well here goes something. "I put my pip-buck arm through the scanner, it took three minutes and the robotic voice rang out again.
Identification confirmed, welcome courier chaos to courier outpost 1745 facility last used 20yrs: 11mth: 345days: 6hours: 45mins: 50sec timer reset will begin again once user leaves
"Holy shit what in Tartarus. "Then I start hearing gears turning and mechanisms churning then the door opens, me and Winona walk in and what I see is amazing.
I could see many machines and some mechanisms everywhere the outside was some kind of Illinois cause once we enter it was a large structure then me and Winona start hearing gears turning again then I see what looks like projecters pop out of the walls then turn on and once the beams of light converge a holographic image of a earth pony stallion is shown but I know this stallion. "Dad. "Then the holographic image starts to speak.
"Welcome new appointed Courier if you are watching this pre-recorded message then I'm dead or I'm dead and you've not recived the training outfit, well to start this off if you haven't guessed it yet you and I aren't the first to wear the monicor of the courier there have been plenty of us over the centuries dating back to the earliest days of the wasteland we've been everywhere except the zebralands themselves but I digress welcome to the latest of our ranks even though your probably the last but I want to say something first. His face turns to one of saddness. If this is one of my children, I'm so sorry I mixed you in this you should have never had to put on that pip-buck and I hope your able to save as many ponies as you can and please stay safe out there their are many danger out in the wasteland but luckily our forefathers of past couriers were paranoid sons of bitches and set up bases and safe houses all over the place not all were discovered by me or my predecessor so look for the couriors mark the picture you mostly saw on the pip-buck, they're hidden very well so keep an eye our this is a base equipped for defense or for weapons, food, matrials, and spells if you were born a unicorn, alright that's all the info I'm allow to tell hell that's all the info my old man gave me when I started my training with him, this base is close to a stable as well but I'd was getting strange readings when I passed it so check it out if you can… this base is well equip to upgrade and modify any weapons or armor you have but I don't think you'll need them. "
Then I hear some shifting and look a compartment raises from the ground showing a full set of armor(A/N: the ncr ranger set) and I whisle impressed.
"This armor has been worn by every courior thus far it has enchantments and modifications that put a lot to shame it's yours now take care of it, and one more thing this place has two set of modifications one for your courior's pip-buck the device you hold is the prototype of stable-tec they left out all the things it could do cause different scientist were working on the mods for it courior's from the start to me been finding these things in either special stable-tec caches in the scientists home or what was left of them or stable-tec facilities such as stables or branch offices and the other mods is something the couriers have been searching for a century now it's a zebra secret project that could have been super dangerous if the ponies didn't take the prototype during the war the weapons name was… the magi-axe or magi multi weapon. "
"No way. "
"This dangerous piece of weaponry would have changed the tide of the war if they had finished it but seeing that there are modifications means that our scientists over at the minastry of arcane science either keep working on it either with or behind minister twilight, this thing was made to shift into weapons to counter each of the pony races, its blade could cut through magic, it come hit Pegasus troops out of the air from yards away, some of the weapons increased the users speed or strength to overpower a earth pony but this is stuff we only know from documents we found at zebra secret bases in equestria none of us know if it's true we found a record on a sighting of it in one of the major battles and it was weilded by big Macintosh but it isn't concrete so if you find it you can take the mods but be careful we have no idea if the zebras that survived the war are still looking for their prize achievement, that's all the info I have for you good luck out their courior. "
Then the projection cut off and two more secret compartments open up, I just stand there Winona starts to worry.
"Master are you OK. "
Tears go down my face." Selfless bastard always thinking of others. " I wipe my eyes. "I'll make you proud dad. "But then the projection cuts back on.
"Oh almost forgot take care of pinkie for us she's been a courior project for a long time and she's not seen the outside world before but we've told her about how it's like post, pre, and after the war and if you are my kid then you'll be quite the mare magnet good luck." He finishes with a cheeky grin.
"Pinkie? Who's-. "Then my motion tracker and detection skill went off to movement behind me, I quickly turn around just to be tackled by a speedy pink object. "Offf!" The object takes me a few inches sliding on the floor, but I hear two different voices one that sound excited and energetic and the one that sounds concerned. "MASTER!/Master!"
With the wind knocked out of me I wait a little for my mind to focus on what just hit but I start hearing arguing.
"Get off master you pink hussy. "
"No, I finally get to meet master after all this time I will not leave him. "
Then I start feeling a grip around me tighten but felt oddly soft.
"I don't care I'm all master needs, now back off. "
"No master's mine. "
The two who are arguing who I can only assume is Winona and this pinkie character who full body tackled me, I finally focus back into everything just to see the two growling at each other… I was taking in this pinkies features she seems like a mix between a bipedal wolf or dog and robotic parts and her fur is pink which was strange by no by much, but then after I finished looking I felt this pinkie creature grab my head and bury it into her bust which was really soft but that's besides the point cause I'm being suffocated by them and I start struggling to get free then she speaks again.
"You could never do this for master so why don't you fuck off. "
"No master is my master I won't let some bitch take him."
Then Winona pounces pinkie knock her off and they roll around scratching and biting each other, it take me a sec to get my bearings before I see them trying to rip each other limb from limb then I louder then I expected. Enough! They hear this and quickly stop before sitting on their butts and says. "Yes master, sorry master. "I sigh and look at pinkie. "Alright who or what are you. "
"I am masters personal assistant made by the couriers and finish by courier Valiant shield and instructed to remain here till next courier entered this facility code name haven and I am to travel and assistant the courier in anything he may from fighting, gathering, to. Her fur around her cheeks glow, uh oh. "To letting him use my body in any fashion he sees fit." She goes back to serious mode. "My name is Pinkamena Dina pie or that's the name I remember when I first woke up from being alseep."
'Why does that sound familiar.' "Well my dad told you that your to follow the next courior."
"That's right master. "
"Well it can't be help welcome to the gang. "
"But master how can we trust this pinkie thing. "
"Hey don't be like that we were the same about tempest and she hasn't stab us in the back yet let's give her a chance." I finish then pet Winona's head which she appreciated.
Through her happy growls. "Fine master but it doesn't mean I have to like it."
"And that's why I count on you to have my back Winona."
"Fine but if she attacks I don't want any whining when I rub it in your face that I was right. "
"Fair. "
'Good. '
I look at pinkie. "Can you show us where the weapons are. "
"Will do master. She skips away and we follow"
We follow and the weapons are impressive from magic firearms from regular. "Oh… yeah. "
I start stocking up I only grab four cases of full boxes of ammunition and grab weapons for said ammo, Then I go to the second hidden rack that popped up during dad speech I look at all the modifications for both pip-buck and Magi-axe.
[A/N: the ones marked as green are the ones he has access to]

"Holy shit these numbers are nuts but they sound use full and from observing them my skill leveled up five times. "I was about to collect them but the panel on my pip-buck and my magi-axe absorbs them. "Well that's helpful. "I then go over to the secret compartment that opened up showing the armor and use observe again.
North cantorlot ranger armor (enchanted and modified) full set (enchantments and modifications will be revealed at level cap of armor pieces, currently hidden)
"Must be some powerful ones if I can see the info and observe leveled up another six time I'm guessing how much it progresses is how powerful or complex the object is. "Once I touch it the armor I'm guessing my power automatically equipped it, I touch around the helmet then I feel something that feels like a button and click and the helmet retracts. "Oh that's cool. "Then I look at pinkie. Can you show me where they keep the magic books.
"Huh but why master my scans say your a earth pony. "
"Trust me. "
"Alright master, then follow me. "
Me and Winona follow and are lead into a library and it was massive seriously these courier weren't messing around when making their bases.
"Welcome to the magic achieve this is where most couriers stored spell book and the like from their Journeys this is quiet small if my records are up to date master. "
"Thanks pinkie. "I go off to find some spells I'll need not noticing pinkie giving Winona a victorious smirk.
After a while I figure out that they are alphabetical order so I first go to the h section and find a heal spell.
Would you like to learn this spell [Y/N]
I was about to press y but I remember what happened when I learned those spells earlier today they disappeared I can't do that these might be the last copies in existance I wish I could copy them then a pop up shows up.
Reconfiguring in progess
Success
Would you like to copy this spell [Y/N]
I press y and the book glowed and magic silhouette of the book breaks off from the book, I touch it and its absorbed into me then a pop up shows.
Healing spell (Tier 1) EXP: 00.00
Can heal minor wounds and injuries
"Nice. "I put it back and start copying some attack spells and defense spells, but then I feel something compelling me to go to the center of the achieve, I keep going until I come upon a necklace with a green gem and my observe automatically goes off.
Key Item found
Warp stone necklace
Durablity: indestructible (unless hit with strong magical energy)
"Huh so this is a warp stone. "I pick it up and put it on, then what feels like a strong magical pulse shots through my body and I drop to one knee and start panting. "Buck what was that. "Then a pop up shows.
User is now connected to chaotic Realm can now use recycled magic without need use of own MP but highly advised to keep magic stable the stronger the spell the more magic used to keep stable (A/N: I didn't come up with concept of warp magic that honor goes to the brony/youtuber the editor I'm just adding the extra bits)
"Oh that sounds as dangerous as it sounds." Then I hear a male voice in my head.
"Oh well this is interesting another pony that can access the chaotic realm."
"And now I'm hearing voices well muffins not even a week and I'm going crazy."
"Oh believe me your quite sane well mostly I mean only a crazy person would access the chaotic realm without prior knowledge but who am I to judge. "
"And who are you. "
"Aww has so many years past that knows me anymore then let me reintroduce myself I am the chaotic being, the king of mischief, the one, the only, the undeniably handsome, lord of chaos discord." Then I start hearing fanfare and fireworks going off in my head.
"Wait discord, as in the discord. "
"Oh you've heard of me. "
"Heard of you I'm a fan. "
"A fan oh my never thought I'd hear that from a pony."
"Well yeah before you caused terror among my kind before the war but most seemed like harmless prank and not gonna lie would've liked to try some of those cotton candy clouds your famous for. "
"Well my boy if we meet in person I'll try to live up to the hype. "
"That would be nice this world could some fun now a days. "
"Ugh tell me about it it's dreadfully dull now a days it's just the same chaos day after day it so boring. "
"Well nice talking to you. "
"Same. "
Then I feel the slight presents leave. "Well meeting him was fun. " out one of the windows I see it getting dark. "Look like we're staying the night." I go to find pinkie and Winona
