Fallout Equestria: Wasteland Guardian
Chapter 40: Raiders
Previous ChapterNext ChapterWhile out visiting a farm that's been having some trouble with raiders.
The farm has been being harassed by a group named "The Conflagration". They were a fire-based raider group using flamers and other incendiary rounds like incendiary grenades and incendiary bullets. They were extorting the farmers for their food and other supplies and last time it wasn't pretty where the farmer's eldest daughter stood up to the raiders only for them to gang-rape her in front of her parents and brother and when her brother tried to free her a raider blew his head off with a sawed-off double-barrel shotgun.
"Critical Shot," said Purple, "stay here and provide overwatch. See anything go wrong or a fight about to start. Shoot a weapon out of the raider's magic or shoot their battle saddles."
Critical Shot rolled his eye and said "I know how to disarm somepony with a bullet from range."
Purple, Rocky Road, Midnight Twister, Paladin Sapphire, Twyla, Shining Harmony, & Pearly Love went in and intervened. They told the Raiders to leave where a unicorn raider was about to point her 10mm pistol at Purple only for it to go flying out of her magic aurora.
The raiders didn't know where the shot came from so they decided to flee to their base which is an old pre-war/wartime-made steel factory. The farmers gave thanks for them protecting them and sadly explained what happened last time.

Last week.
"Time to pay up!" said a Raider with a flamethrower, "Or we'll take everything you own by force!"
The farmer stallion replied, "Fine we'll give you some of our products so you can leave us alone."
"NO!" said a seventeen-year-old mare, "YOU'RE NOT GOING TO EXTORT US ANYMORE! I'M GETTING TIRED OF YOU DAMN RAIDERS COMING IN AND TAKING WHAT YOU WANT AND DOING WHAT YOU WANT WITHOUT SOMEPONY STANDING UP TO YOU! I'M FINALLY DRAWING MY HOOF IN THE SAND!"
"Somepony needs to put in her place!" said the raider leader, "Let's get her guys!"
The farmer, his wife, and son were forced to watch where the raiders took their turn and gang-raped her in front of them. Her brother who's a year younger than her fought the raiders. He was able to hurt a few of them only to see next was a double-barrel shotgun where he was shot and his head exploded from the incendiary and explosive rounds.
The parents were more shocked than they were used to giving some of their stuff to the raiders because they usually leave them alone. But what their daughter and son did make them more heartbroken even though they're more heartbroken seeing their daughter be raped for a few hours.
The raiders then took the seventeen-year-old mare and half of the farmer's produce and went on their way.

Present-day
"Sorry to hear about that," said Purple, "We'll go and rescue your daughter and bring back your stolen stuff. Let's go Guardians."
While out walking. Paladin Sapphire Heart said, "How far is it? My hooves are hurting."
"Then get out of your fancy suit." said Midnight Twister, "And walk like us without your fancy suit."
Paladin Sapphire replied, "I would say it but you're taken."
"Just say it." said Rocky Road, "Just say what you're going to say."
"Alright then." said Paladin Sapphire, "When I do get out of my armor when we are resting. You can bite my ass for saying that."
"I see some smoke." said Purple, "The steel mill must be getting close."
"About time," said Rocky Road, "We've walked for five miles"
Purple then held up his right hoof when he stopped. "Critical Shot. Let's go"
Purple Artist and Critical Shot moved up ahead and saw raiders standing guard, roaming around or taking.
"Heart of head, either way. Bad pony's dead!" said Critical Shot, "Trick or treat motherfuckers."
"Hold your fire." said Purple before going back to Rocky Road, Midnight Twister, and Paladin Sapphire. "Paladin Sapphire due to you have that weapon and in a suit of power armor you'll attack from the left." said Purple, "Rocky, Midnight due to you two are a brother-sister duo you attack from the left."
"What about us?" asked Twyla, "What role do we have?"
"Twyla, and Opal." said Purple, "You're with Paladin Sapphire, I'm with Rocky and Midnight. Shining you're with Critical Shot due to your scoped 7.92 Rifle and 7.92 Airborne Rifle. Make sure your scoped 7.62 rifle battle saddle is equipped not the 7.92 Airborne Rifle"
"What about me?" asked Pearly Love, "Who do I help?"
"You're with Critical Shot." replied Purple, "Your job is to keep raiders away from him and you're .30 Cal MG will do it perfectly."
Once they got into position without drawing attention to themselves. Critical Shot lit up his magic and he aimed down his sniper rifle's sights and fired off a round hitting a raider in the head that's on the roof.
"One shot, one kill..." said Critical Shot, "He won't see this one coming"
The assault began when they used their specialty like Purple being the riflepony, Midnight being the CQB one, Rocky being the riflepony like Purple, Paladin Sapphire being "the tank" due to her power armor, Critical Shot being the deadly cold sniper, Twyla being the Ranger, Pearly being the machine gunner because she's armed with a machine gun, Shining is the Designated Markspony or Assault pony depends on which battle saddle she has, and Opal being the Submachine Gunner.
The raiders threw Molotov cocktails and fired incendiary rounds at them. Some even tried to get close to use the flamethrowers they have to burn them.
"I've got them all lined up," said Critical Shot. "Going for the kill!"
"Die you fucking raiders, die!" said Pearly Love, "You raiders are a nuisance on the Wasteland!"
The bullets stopped flying where the raiders outside are dead. All of them besides Pearly and Critical Shot moved to a set of double doors and moved inside where they kept their head down and fired at the raiders with their bullets. But the raiders never expected the day for somepony or a group of ponies knocking in on their door.
"Damn it's hot!" Midnight Twister complained
"You think it's hot?" asked Paladin Sapphire, "I'm not and I'm wearing a steel suit."
The two bickered and Rocky Road told Purple to have Midnight Twister and Paladin Sapphire Heart to stop bickering.
"Will you two shut up!" said Purple, "Were here to fight raiders and save somepony not fight each other."
"Is three good for you?" asked Midnight Twister.
Paladin Sapphire replied, "Bite me Midnight."
Paladin Sapphire get knocked down where they killed a raider who popped out with a twin-barrel heavy rifle with .700 Nitro rounds. Purple took the rifle for himself and fired the rounds rarely but only at slightly armored targets.
They then moved into the crucible where they found a raider having the farmer's daughter lick her to keep her clean.
"Well, well, well. Look at this." said the raider mare earth pony, "Wasteland Guardians walked right into my house. This is suicide for ya. Just to be kind hoof over all of your stuff and I'll let you live. If not you'll all be fed to the crucible."
They all saw a giant vat of molten steel.
"Give us the mare that's licking you so we can give her back to her parents and we'll go." said Purple, "Wait who are you?"
"I am. Firey Thought but everypony calls me "Pyre" and you can call me that." said Firey "Pyre" Thought, "I can guess you're Purple Artist and you're the leader of the Wasteland Guardians?"
Purple replied, "I am. I never heard of you lady!"
"You never heard of me Pyre?" said Fiery Thought, "You crawled out of a hole or out were you born and raised under a rock?"
Firey Thought then saw Purple's Pipbuck and said, "You're a Stable Dweller. Who ran away from home?"
"How do you know I'm a Stable Dweller?" asked a confused Purple
"Stable 195." replied Fiery Thought, "Let my home be how it is. Where's your Stable? Stable Dweller?"
"I'll never tell you!" said Purple, "You're not going to find my Stable's location!"
"So be it." said Fiery Thought, "I'll just have my raiders just hold you down and saw off your left frontal leg and bring me your Pipbuck and I'll find out myself."
When two Raiders got started to get close to Purple there was the sound of a shotgun and a Novasurge rifle. Now they had a battle on their hooves. They decided to leave the crucible before getting killed and used range for their advantage and the raiders played hide and seek to find them.
The raiders didn't last long where they ain't use to combat and they could try to fight but die anyway.
Purple and the others entered back in the crucible and told Fiery Thought that she has no more forces left. He told her to give up only for her to shove the seventeen-year-old mare into the giant vat of molten steel. Purple caught her with her magic and floated her over to them.
Fiery Thought escaped but they got the daughter safe and walked with her back to the farm. The farmer said, "We don't know how to thank you."
"No need to thank us." said Purple, "We're here to help."
"Are you with the group called "Wasteland Guardians" or I'm I mistaken?" asked the Farmer's wife.
"Yes ma'am we are." said Purple, "Why?"
The Farmer and his wife looked at each other and nodded in unison. "We'd like to join. As long there isn't any long canonization. We like to join if that's possible."
Purple replied, "There aren't no requirements to join. Only if you want to help to make the world a better place."
"Wait before you go." said the Farmer, "There's a town nearby that's under raiders and slavers' control. The quickest way is through a dirt road between old ruined hedgerows."
Purple thanked them for the location of a town nearby and they were on their way to have a "civilized" chat with them.
"Wait." said the Seventeen-year-old mare, "Wait, wait"
The group stopped and let her tag along where for days she been raped and wants revenge to get the Raiders a lot of payback.
"What's your name?" asked Purple, "I'm Purple Artist. Call me Purple."
"Starry Cultivating," said the Green Earth pony mare, "Thanks for rescuing me."
