Previous ChapterNext Chapter

While out going northeast. Purple checked his Pip-Buck 3000 and under the radio he found that Stable 190 is on there. So he selected it and heard his sister Blue's plea for him to return back to Stable 190 and nothing is the same but nothing but heartbreak for Purple of just remembering his father.

Purple encountered some raiders and it was easy for him and he ranked up to level two where he increased his sneak skill from 49% to 60% and used his remaining in barter taking it up from 10% to 14%.

Purple then looted the raiders and got some 5.56mm ammo and looted shotgun rounds and Purple scared one raider away because he's a purple alicorn and dark purple alicorns have the ability to teleport which he could've used to teleport and got the advantage on them.

Purple took a battle saddle because he can't use his wings to pull the trigger.

In another settlement Purple was warmly welcome where they welcome all types of ponies who are friendly. Purple asked a guard if there's any work so the earth pony guard told him to go to town hall. That was a police station that's ruined and serves both as town hall and the guards barracks.

Purple saw off in the distance of what was some mountains but Purple just went into town hall and asked if there's any jobs that fit his skill set.

A stallion asked Purple on his skill sets are so Purple said "Small guns, Big guns, and sneak." Said Purple, "I know how to shoot any type of weapon. I'm also a great listener and learner as well. Sir."

They only had a few jobs open which was Guard, Courier, and scout. Purple asked what's the purpose of a scout was. The stallion told him that scouts go out and find and mark dangers on maps like Mirelurks, Hellhounds, Alicorns, and Raiders to name a few.

The stallion also told Purple that if they can they can mark on maps of locations that'll be perfect to set up new settlements and the other two of a Guard and Courier are self-explanatory.

"Being a guard either a sentry or roaming guard you'll get 350 Bottlecaps a week and Hazard pay if this town get's attacked. You'll also get a 15% discount at stores. Being a Courier is also self-explanatory you'll get 700 Bottle caps per delivery and Hazard pay." said the earth pony stallion, "And a scout. You just roam the wasteland doing whatever you like. What job do you want?"

Purple told him that he would like to be a scout because he's skinny and can hide easily and it'll be easier to explore the wasteland.

The earth pony stallion told him it'll be easier to take somepony to watch over him but he has to look for that pony. The earth pony told him to look for her in town square.

In town square, Purple found a blue alicorn without a cutie mark sitting there wanting to make friends but can't. Ponies think she's under the control of the "The Goddess" and she's friendly and wants a friend.

Purple actually was nervous of talking to her.

"Hi. What's your name?" said the alicorn, "My name is Sunrise Storm. Well that was my pre-war name."

"Nice to meet you Ms. Sunrise Storm." said Purple Artist, "My name is Purple Artist. You can either call me Purple Artist or Purple. Want to travel with me?"

The blue alicorn told Purple sure that it's better then standing around and everypony ignoring her because everypony is afraid of Alicorns. But nopony is afraid of him where he may be an alicorn but he isn't evil.

Purple checked his Pip-Buck 3000 to see on what's there and Ms. Sunrise Storm has as 2 perks that gave Purple and that's called "Critical Strike" and "Cloak". Critical Strike offers 70% more accuracy to rifles, sniper rifles, and other scoped weapons and has a 90% of getting a "Critical Strike". Cloak due to everypony is afraid of Alicorns so everypony will fire upon Ms. Sunrise Storm making Purple almost non existent to other ponies and creatures. Ms. Sunrise also can go invisible and flank the enemy while Purple attacks head-on.

The two went back out into the wasteland and Ms. Sunrise Storm was happy that somepony was willing to be friends.

Purple then checked his map where he and Ms. Sunrise Storm are in the Undiscovered West which was secretly used to train Equestrian Special Forces because it's not populated as the rest of Equestria and they just talked about getting to know each other.

"Have you heard." said Sunrise Storm, "About the HMS Canterlot incident?"

"I read about it in history books." said Purple Artist, "The battleship was off the coast of the Zebra homeland and a Equestrian submarine fired at the ship because of the fog and mistaken the battleship hitting the magazine sinking the ship and out of the 2,789 a total of 2231 were killed and the other half went to land. The ones who went to land were captured and sent to P.O.W camps."

"Yeah. I was there when I was a unicorn." said Sunrise Storm, "I was a gunner in a 16 inch/50 caliber heavy artillery gun. When the ship's captain ordered to abandon, I didn't hesitate to leave and make my way to a lifeboat. The mare survivors like me. The Zebra stallions loved us and before you ask it was non-consensual."

Purple then asked on why she doesn't have any firearms. Sunrise Storm says that she was stripped of having firearms because the world with their relations to Alicorns even though only reason why he still has his is that Purple is a stallion. Nopony ever saw or seen a male alicorn before and he also has his cutie mark which other alicorns don't have.

They came across a very bad critically injured unicorn mare. Purple Artist without hesitation gave her some medical supplies. After Purple patched her up after Raiders nearly killed her.

She even got scared at the sight of Sunrise Storm because she's looking down at her and she looks intimidating even though she doesn't mean too.

"ALICORN!" yelled a raider, "RUN AWAY!"

The three saw a group of raiders gallop away which made all three of them chuckle. That was a positive for Purple that other ponies will run away especially bad ponies as raiders will run away.

The mare thanked Purple for his help and thanked Sunrise Storm for scaring the raiders away and for that she'll give them a 50% discount at her store back in Emsfield. But Purple doesn't have any caps on him.

Purple and Sunrise continued and encountered some dead bodies. Sunrise looted and got a total of fifty-two bottle caps and gave Purple 26 bottle caps and she kept 26.

The two mostly encountered raiders while out in the wasteland but the sun started to set in the nightmare of the Equestrian Wasteland and the two made a camp for the night.

Before Purple went to bed Purple used his Pip-Buck 3000 and found the radio message from his sister Blue who pleaded him to return but he turned it off.

"I would but it's nothing but heartbreak for me." said Purple, "Sorry sister but I'm not planning on returning anytime soon or far. I'm going to find a life out here in the Wasteland."

"Ok. You're a Stable Dweller." said Sunrise Storm, "You were safe in a steel and concrete safe heaven. Why did you leave?"

Purple Artist explained to Sunrise Storm that his father was diagnosed with Colorectal cancer he spent the entire day with his daughter Blue and promised he was going to spend all day with Purple before he was supposed to go. He died in his sleep and he only sees heartbreak in the Stable.

Purple also explained that he never told his father how much he loved his father and Albatross died on October 25, when Purple was ten and died a day before Purple's eleventh birthday and since then a half of Purple Artist died with his father, and he been depressed for the past nine years.

Purple then went to bed sleeping in a sleeping bag.

"Fuck." said Sunrise, "Why did I survive the Balefire war? My mom, adoptive sister, adoptive brothers, adoptive uncles, and aunts. All vaporized in a heartbeat. Fuck my life."

Sunrise Storm just stared at the fire and wondered why she has to live the rest of her days as an Alicorn and in the war days she was a unicorn until Alicorns started to appear in the Equestrian Wasteland she was dragged off, dipped in Taint/I.M.P. and turned into an alicorn by force.

Sunrise Storm reflected on her life of her being born than being adopted by a pegasus couple, and then Sunrise joined the Equestrian Navy, and then the Megaspell or the "The Last Day" happened where she took cover in a sewer tunnel in outskirts of Las Unicornia visiting her crippled adoptive uncle.

Sunrise saw her crippled uncle galloping in while his fur was on fire after the megaspell detonation and him screaming at the top of his lungs. Sunrise even saw shadows of ponies who got vaporized in the blasts and what's more heartbreaking was walking past a playground at school which kids played on only to see shadows of what was colts and fillies.

Sunrise still can hear the screams of ponies when the Megaspell bombs first fell on Los Unicornia then she heard gunfire a few minutes afterward.
