Fallout Equestria: Wasteland Guardian

Twenty-year-old Apprentiance Lieutenant Honey Cake was sitting in the barracks of Grand Pegasus Enclave Base Aroura. She's writing in her journal saying that she's glad she isn't training in Neighvarro and hated the drill instructor she had there.

Honey Cake she's happy that she's with her father even though her mother since she was four has been trying to lobby her to be a councilmare over being an infantry officer. She hasn't taken a bite of it and her mother has been pissing her off about it.

"Hey Sugarplum how are you?" asked her father, a captain in maintenance.

Apprentice Lieutenant Honey Cake replied, "I'm fine dad. How are you? I'm glad I'm out of Neighvarro. Hated that Drill Instructor. Have you ever heard a stallion yell at his son for having a cutie mark he didn't expect and asked if it was for killing enemies? I mean come on should've been supportive that at least his son has a cutie mark! Me? I'm still a twenty-year-old blank flank!"

Her father replied supportively, "Don't worry sugar plum. You're going to get your cutie mark one day or another. I didn't get my cutie mark until you and your twin sister were born. So you hated Neighvarro that much?"

Honey Cake replied, "No not entirely. I saw two stallions that look alike a little though. To me they're dreamy. But they made me nervous a bit. But they're dreamy in my eyes. I talked to one of them I think they're nice. But my gut says they hate their baby brother."

Her father replied, "Oh like how you hate your twin sister? Besides that Lieutenant Soaring Pip was looking for you. Here's a note from her."

Honey Cake picked it up and read it and went over to hanger three.

***

In Hanger three.

"There she is," said Lieutenant Soaring Pip, "Late to the party. Alright, let's go down south and do a research purpose."

Before Honey Cake could get on the Vertibuck was halted by command saying it was Councilmare Daisy Sugar Belle's orders.

"Luna damn it. Luna can fuck me with her horn!" said Honey Cake, "My mother never wants me to be happy. Damn her."

Soon there was a mare in a suit. It's Councilmare Daisy.

"Come on home Ebone Honey Butte Cake." said Councilmare Daisy, "It's where you belong especially when you become a Councilmare."

Honey Cake replied, "Mother I'm a grown adult! Leave me alone and listen to me. I cannot be more crystal damn clear than this! I. AM. NOT. GOING. TO. BE. A. LUNA DAMN. COUNCILMARE! Now leave me alone!"

Honey Cake re-bored the Vertibuck and told them to go because she isn't going to stay behind.

***

In the southern Equestrian wasteland, the Vertibuck had to go back to refuel because it has enough fuel to return. But they have to find a suitable place to set up a firebase.

Honey Cake kept her Novasurge rifle ready which she illegally modified to be fired by her wings, not a battle saddle. But she still carries a battle saddle variant.

They found an old Equestrian base with a tall thirty-foot concrete wall with circular towers on top at the two entrances and on the flanks as well.

There were only some old barracks and they had to clear out the ferals which were easy and they were able to shoot and kill the few ferals with ease.

"Alright Ebone," said Lieutenant Soaring Pip, "Radio Aroura base and tell them to set up a Firebase here."

Honey Cake replied, "Please call me Honey Cake. Don't call me Ebone. I'm going to radio command."

Honey Cake flew up to a tower and picked up a pair of military binoculars and saw nothing by a sea of sand and some grasslands but they were in the mysterious south. She stayed up there for several hours.

Soon some bigger Vertibucks came and dropped the back half of a building and the other dropped a front end of a building and the soldiers there were dropped some engineering tools and settled up a firebase.

The platoon used the resources there to build stuff like a supply pad so Vertibucks can drop off supplies, and a generator, and they rebuilt the barracks so they can sleep in. Some more Grand Pegasus Enclave soldiers and scientists are off. Doesn't help a whole squad were her friends.

The night quickly hit and they're lucky they built three small windmills to get power so they can see in the dark. But at least it ain't noisy and everything will be fine so far.

***

In the morning.

The Grand Pegasus Enclave platoon with the scientists went out into the Wasteland and they just walked without being off track. Honey Cake thought that the scientist won't survive in a firefight because the Balefire suits they were wearing doesn't protect against bullets or energy weapons. In their power armor, they felt hot because of the morning sun

Honey Cake just removed her respirator mask and she had a hard time breathing. All of them snapped and yelled at her to put her mask back on even when she explained that she couldn't breathe they still snapped at her.

Lieutenant Soaring Pip walked over to her and inspected her and her armor and saw that everything was in tip-top shape so he tried her respirator and it wasn't pumping air. It was pumping Carbon Monoxide.

"Someone unless if it was you replaced your air pack," said Lt Soaring Pip. "Go back to base and get it fixed or repaired."

Appretance Lieutenant Honey Cake replied, "No sir. I wanna continue please don't sit me out."

Lieutenant Soaring Pip tried to reason with her why she should go back.

Honey Cake replied, "Just like everypony else in my family. My mother, stepfather, aunts, and uncles. Everyone that isn't my father always wants me to be sheltered. I'm a twenty-year-old mare who can take care of herself! If I couldn't take care of myself I wouldn't join the Army!"

Lieutenant Soaring Pip replied, "Fine. Get yourself killed out here. I ain't carrying your stinkin corpse back to base."

Honey Cake replied, "I can take care of myself. I don't need to prove my strength to anypony. And I didn't cut or cheat through the military academy by sucking a lot of dicks! When I did had a boyfriend I may have sucked his dick once or twice to have him help me pass an exam. But I didn't fuck any of my teachers to pass!"

Lieutenant Soaring Pip replied, "Alright calm down no need to yell. But I gave you a chance."

They continued and the hot Wasteland sun continued to bake them in the desert.

***

An hour passed and three Hellhounds appeared.

The Grand Pegasus Enclave soldiers including Honey Cake fired their Novasurge Rifles and had to protect the Scientists who were completely defenseless.

Honey Cake saw in horror what Hellhounds could do as she saw one pick up a Grand Pegasus Enclave Private First Class in her squad an engineer and tore him to shreds even ate his head off.

She then snapped out of it and fired and continued to fire as the Operator, Machine gunner, Specialist, Sniper, and three rifle pegasi including the squad leader. They just fired but the Hellhounds tore right through them.

The scientists didn't stand a chance. One slash they were dead and the power armor for the Grand Pegasus Enclave which they stood a chance but it was only temporarily.

Honey Cake heard the Grand Pegasus Enclave Operator scream very painfully and very loud as his wing was sliced off and the sharp nails or claws pierced the armor and hit vital organs. She could hear their agonizing screams of pain. But she was able to kill one.

A Hellhound slashed its claws at the Lieutenant and his head went flying off and rolled over to Honey Cake who's more frightened and scared than believed. She heard stories from scouts of the horrors of the Wasteland but didn't believe them thought they were fairy tales.

Honey Cake then reloaded her Novasurge rifle but she used her battle saddle version of the Novasurge rifle and the Hellhound destroyed it.

Fuck!, Honey Cake thought, Damn these are tough bastards. I'm the officer here and I should organize a retreat.

"Fall back!" Honey Cake yelled, "We can't take this anymore. Fallback to Aileron Base."

More Hellhounds came and Honey Cake and the remaining few remaining Grand Pegasus Enclave soldiers retreated back to Camp Aileron and they didn't stop running even if it felt like their hearts could explode.

***

Back at Camp Aileron.

"Appearance Lieutenant?" said a Grand Pegasus Enclave Captain, "Where's the rest of your unit?"

Honey Cake looked behind her now noticing she was by herself.

Appearance Lieutenant Honey Cake replied tiredly and breathing heavily, "Hellhounds! We were jumped by a pack of Hellhounds! Everyone dead if not scattered away."

Honey Cake then passed out due to having a heat stroke.

Two Grand Pegasus Enclave medics took Honey Cake into the command center and to the barracks and to the first aid center to cool her down.

***

Two days later.

Honey Cake found a corner that was isolated and she started to cry due to out of nine squad members not adding the Lieutenant. Three of them were her besties since they were four years old. Not adding she didn't believe what the scouts or any member told her about the horrors.

She then heard some hoof steps approaching so she stopped crying and wiped the tears away and saw that it was a Grand Pegasus Enclave Marine.

A marine, Honey Cake thought, The Marines have been a mainstay of the GPE Armed Forces ever since the GPE Armed Forces was founded. They secured their popular reputation as an invaluable assist to the GPE Military. They're tuff, strong, and very combative and never walk or fly away from a fight. I couldn't be a marine. I'm weak and not useful.

"Hey you Ok?" asked the GPE Marine

Honey Cake replied sorrowfully, "No. My friends. They're dead. Torn to shreds if not eaten by the Hellhounds."

The marine was supportive to her and comforted her and even told her that it'll be ok where her friends will always be with her in her heart.

It cheered her up a bit to know that not all Grand Pegasus Enclave soldiers or citizens were all-around jackasses.

The marine then left so she could have some time to herself and start acting as a lieutenant.

***

Outside.

Appearance Lieutenant Honey Cake was walking with the Captain and he talked to her.

"HONEY CAKE!" yelled the Captain, "Next Vertibuck that arrives."

The sound of a Vertibuck came closer.

"Get your blank flank ass on board!" Continued the Captain, "And report for your next assignment as a secretary!"

Honey Cake couldn't believe it but she followed orders and got on the Vertibuck.

***

Back at GPE Base Aroura.

Honey Cake got off the Vertibuck and saw her mother standing there.

Councilmare Daisy said, "Come on Ebone Cake. Time for your new career and a date with your new stallionfriend."

Honey Cake replied, "Mother! WILL YOU STAY OUT OF MY LIFE!"

Councilmare Daisy walked over and grabbed her eldest daughter by her ear and took her back above the clouds and removed the power armor and had her daughter become her secretary.

Councilmare Daisy even told her daughter that it's "Time to play soldier is over." and even forced her onto a date even though she wasn't interested in the date nor a relationship. She and her ex well their breakup was a fiery train wreck.

Turns out her ex was only dating her for political favors from her mother even forced her to suck his dick or forced her into sex when she didn't want to even though. Not adding he was inappropriate and acted as a child sometimes including one time he took his wings and held her face to his butt and farted in her face.

The only reason they didn't break up sooner is that his father who's more of a gentleman than his son but he's a high-ranking general and works in the Grand Pegasus Enclave Armed Forces Staff and was hoping he would make her a high ranking officer. Until she turned Seventeen she finally snapped and told him to suck his own dick and even told him that if she had a dick he can choke on it.

***

At night.

Honey Cake snuck away from her mother and went back to Grand Pegasus Enclave Base Aroura and she was happy there even though she just sat in a hanger all teary-eyed and the hanger is occupied with old Equestrian fighter planes with the old Equestrian Air Force decals on them.

There were some more hoofsteps and it was her mother who sat down next to her and said, "Ebone. It's time to stop dressing up and playing soldier. It's time to return back home. Just get married, settle down, and have some foals."

Honey Cake replied, "Stop calling me Ebone. I don't care it's in my name I hate it. I prefer to be called "Honey Cake" not "Ebone Honey Butte Cake". Also, I'm sick and damn tired of you thinking you know what's best for me. I'm not going going to be working in a civilian role. I'm not going to settle down and have foals. You want me to but you never asked me what I wanted it's always like "Honey Cake do this. Honey Cake do that.". I just want to do what I wanna do not what you want to do. If you want another foal then just ask stepdad to give you one. But it's your fault that Dad divorced you!"

Councilmare Daisy replied, "My fault? It's his fault why if he didn't come home early then we wouldn't be here. He filled your and Lucy's minds with what the Army can do and gave you two more freewill and all that and polluted with what you can do. Damn him and his Authoritative parenting style. If he was more Authoritarian we wouldn't be here."

Honey Cake replied, "Damn him? It's not his fault he walked in on you and stepdad having sex. Oh wait I mean your lover before you divorced him! It's your fault! We were a happy family but you broke up the family! Why do you think I hate you and stepdad? You & stepdad want me to be a damn councilmare and I don't want to be a fuckin councilmare. Just leave me alone you done more damage that's irreparable."

Councilmare Daisy replied, "But Sweetie."

Honey Cake interrupted and replied, "Don't "But Sweetie" me! You wanted me to get straight A's and be on the Honor Roll every school semester! The only reason I went to the Military Academy was to get away from you! I used my own money to pay for it! Just go. Just leave me alone for the rest of my life."

Councilmare Daisy replied, "But Sugarpie."

Honey Cake snapped, "Stop giving me those embarrassing nicknames! I hated them when i was four and I hate them now!"

Councilmare Daisy replied, "But Snookums. You loved being called having those nicknames."

Honey Cake replied, "Yeah when dad does it. He actually loves me and wants me to do what I want to do not what you want me to do! Just go. You have done more than enough damage to me. Now get out of my sight. I want to sulk alone."

Councilmare Daisy replied, "I just want to protect you. Due to your service so far you are eligible to have foals. Just keep going on the date with the stallion I picked out for you, marry him, and make me a grandmother."

Honey Cake replied, "There you go. All about you. You want to be a grandmother. I don't want to be a mother. And you just say that I won't. Just go. Right now."

Soon Honey Cake's biological father entered thinking she would be in here due to she likes to be in isolated places when she's sad.

He walked over to her and hugged her due to hugs from her father usually cheering her up or making her feel loved. Her mother makes her feel hated and not wanted.

"Oh it's you," said Councilmare Daisy, "Don't you have some Power armor to fix? Or fix something? Go away your not wanted here!"

Honey Cake's dad replied, "I'm allowed to see my daughter! The Judge said we have split custody but Honey Bunny she's an adult. You got to stop treating her like a filly. She's twenty years old. She may be our child but you keep her suppressed under your oppressive and authoritarian wing and hoof! Why do you think she feels oppressed, depressed, and sad? You don't allow her not to gain not even an inch or a 1/16th of an inch of freedom and happiness. With you, it's always forcing her to do something she doesn't want to do. You and your husband may hate that I gave her freedom and wasn't strict with her. But that's my choice. You choose to keep driving away from our daughter."

Councilmare Daisy replied, "Our daughter? That's a laugh. Do you mean my daughter? I was the one who carried her and Lucy and gave birth to them. You did nothing."

He replied, "Did nothing? Who's sperm did they come from? Not your second husband's sperm. She and Lucy came from me and I still have a say in what they should do. I'd say that they should do what they want to make them happy not force them to do something. Like you forcing both Honey and Lucy to go to Hail Force University. You know the top prestigious university we have named after one of the first Council pegasi we had back then. Honey Cake didn't want to go then what do you make she wants to go now?"

Councilmare Daisy replied, "Because I know she does want to go."

Honey Cake replied, "I didn't. What part of "I didn't". Don't you understand?"

Councilmare Daisy replied, "I know you do want to go and be more intelligent."

Honey Cake rolled her eyes.

"I'm going to go before I snap," said Honey Cake

Councilmare Daisy replied, "See what you did Angel Pine!"

Angel Pine replied, "What did I do? How is being a supportive father make me look like a bad guy? I was there for them when they needed me. Where were you when they needed you? You were too busy going behind my back and later your second husband's back suck others' cocks! Do you know why other mares don't want to be friends with you? Because they know the straight ones will keep their husbands locked up so you can't suck them off of having sex with them. When your husband was too busy doing what he does and not home and you weren't home because you were busy sucking off the other council stallions to get what you want. Remember that time your husband was gone and somewhere else for a month and couldn't take care of them and you were busy deciding something. What were you doing? That's right you were too busy sucking off the other council stallions you work with so they could vote what you want. What did I do? I made sure they were fed and had a roof over their heads not adding made sure they got an education."

Councilmare Daisy replied, "Yeah. I did do that. I did make sure they were fed, educated, and had a place to stay."

Angel Pine replied, "Luna damn it. Pull your head out of your ass. I remember when you were an intelligent mare who didn't fuck others to get what she wanted. The Daisy Sugar Belle I remember was a kind, friendly and loving mare not a mare who got her head up her ass so far she doesn't see what was going around her. Somepony can hold a knife to Honey Cake's throat and you'll say, "I hope the two can have some foals so I can be a grandma". Just leave her alone. Let her make her own choices. She needs to learn life herself not having you holding her hoof at every step against her will."

Captain Angel Pine then got up and went over back to the workshop to do some repairs and other stuff.

***

In the workshop.

Captain Angel was surprised to see his daughter in their working on her power armor where she removed the respirator air pack thing and wondered why it was full of Carbon Monoxide. She thinks it was replaced intentionally when she wasn't looking or sleeping.

"Mother!" said Honey Cake, "Damn her! She was the only one who touched my power armor! She could easily swap it!"

Captain Angel Pine replied, "Your mother? What did she do this time?"

Apprentice Lieutenant Honey Cake replied, "My air pack that's supposed to give us fresh air so we don't breath in wasteland contaminated air. But "somepony" swapped it out for carbon monoxide. I bet my year's salary it was mom."

Captain Angel Pine replied, "Why would mom try to kill you? She wants the best for you and when I mean you I mean her."

Honey Cake replied, "Because I know she won't allow me to be happy and I've been rebelling against her since when I was nine. So she might as well get it over and just label me as "Killed In Action" over "Mother kills rebelling daughter". Also try it."

Captain Angel Pine placed on the respirator mask and turned on the air pack and he soon took it off and was about to help his daughter to fix it until he saw a flash of light.

"Um Honey," said Captain Angel Pine, "You might want to check your butt."

Honey Cake looked and saw that she finally received her cutie mark. It's a ratchet wrench and a Novasurge rifle overlapping.

Finally, I have a cutie mark and those punks and bullies can kiss my ass, Honey Cake thought, I know mom will hate it but I don't care.

Soon Councilmare Daisy Sugar Belle entered the workshop.

"Speak of the Devil!," exclaimed Honey Cake.

"Oh look you finally got a cutie mark," said Councilmare Daisy, "Wish it was something else like counseling or something about politics. Don't worry we'll burn it off like how we burn the cutie marks off Dashites and I'll put something more appropriate on your flank."

Honey Cake snapped, "NO YOU ARE NOT! I LOVE MY CUTIE MARK AND YOU ARE NOT GOING TO GET RID OF IT! IF YOU DO YOU MIGHT AS WELL BRAND ME AS AN DASHITE!"

Councilmare Daisy just tilted her head in confusion not knowing why she yelled at the top of her lungs like that and thinks she loves her and just acting in front of her father. And other things thinking other stuff and thinks she does wants to be a councilmare even though Honey Cake can't say it any more clearer that she doesn't want to be one she wants to be a field officer, not somepony who sits at a desk with her hoof or a wing up her ass.

Councilmare Daisy then went back home above the clouds and went home.

***

At home, Councilmare Daisy walked into her house and her husband was sitting on a couch made with cloud tech.

"Hey Sugar pie," said Daisy's husband, "How was work?"

Councilmare Daisy replied, "Good. I think I'm getting through with Honey Cake. I really do believe she wants to be a councilmare but she's just hiding it. How was work Nor'easter?"

Nor'easter replied, "It was ok. I don't think she'll become one. She resents us. She despises us, hates our guts. Remember when she was just a filly and just up to twelve years old when we would go kiss her goodnight? How she would yank the covers over her and put her pillow over her face and told us to get out of her room. I may have terribly bonded with her but at least I played "Blast Radius A Balefire Board Game with her even as a teenager. I tried to bond with her even though it was hard and couldn't. At least I tried to be a father figure to her. But when I started with "You want to be a Councilmare?" she would get up and leave. But when she turned Seventeen I said to her, "Do you want to be a soldier?" she replied, "Yes I do.". I told her to pack her bags and I used all five of my favors and got her into the War College to be an officer. And you know what happens when we don't have an officer spot available? We call them "Apprentices" until a spot is available. Because they're "Apprentices" to actual Officer's starting with Leftenants. Also, they can learn from the actual leftenants."

Councilmare Daisy replied, "It's pronounced as "Lieutenant" not "Leftenant". Also, what's wrong with you?! She wants to be a councilmare."

Nor'easter replied in his Cockney accent, "You mean you. You want her to be a Councilmare. When I started to do so even tried to bribe her to be one. But I noticed I was driving her far and far away. So I started to spend time with her doing what she wants not what you wanted. If she wanted to read an old Equestrian Military book about infantry and how to counter infantry. Well, when I was out at the Base I go to when called to. I would go out and scavenge around a bit. If she wanted I would go find and get her a dildo the size of Manehattan if she asked me. Honey Cake may not entirely not like me but at least she can come to me if and I'm open ears. Alright I'm going to go to bed."

Nor'easter got up and went to bed and Daisy followed him and before they went to sleep they had sex and went to bed with their backs turned. But Daisy doesn't get any goodnight's sleep due to her hind right leg acting up due to an injury she isn't or straight with due to she tells different Pegai different stories about it.

***

Appearance Lieutenant Honey Cake wanted to be a lieutenant so bad she wanted to lead a platoon so far even though she know it won't happen.

She just drank a few shots to mourn her friends who were killed even though she still has a few. She thinks they'll be great soldiers. But after she paid for her drinks she went up and stared up at the sky. It was a nice warm night but she decide to trot along the old asphalt runway with brick side access for old emergency wagons in case the old Equestrian plans had to make an emergency landing and caught fire or something.

Even though it was a nice night Honey Cake thought about removing her uniform, finding a non-radioactive polluted lake, and going skinny dipping. But she knows she'll get busted and scolded big time going AWOL/ Absent Without Leave and probably be kicked out of the military. Doesn't help she quickly thought about jumping into bed with either Autumn Leaf or Pride due to she thinks they're dreamy.

I wonder how they feel about settling down a mare who can lead and repair, Honey Cake thought, Wonder who'll ask out on a date first. Should I ask Autumn Leaf or Pride they're both cute in my eyes. Umm Major Autumn Leaf or Pride? I know that Autumn Leaf is going to be promoted soon to Lieutenant-Colonel probably going for Colonel or General of the Army or some higher rank in the GPE armed forces. But he is sure dreamy as long with his brothers Pride, the Tech one, and the one who's a Dashite. But my BCT or Basic Combat Training at Neighvarro was over in a year with a jackass Drill Instructor who always yelled and those three years at the War College sitting on my flank. There's nothing like being called a Blank Flank in training and back at school. Not they can eat my ass that they can't pick on me anymore.

Some stallions not in power armor came up to her and started to call her some names and when they call her a blank flank she showed them her cutie mark which is a torque wrench going upper left to lower right diagonally and a "Novasurge rifle" even though she calls all energy rifles "Novasurge rifles" and it's actually a Magical Energy Rifle.

They picked on her for getting her cutie mark last and she finally snapped. There were three quick shots and they were ash from the Novasurge rifle she illegally modified.

Honey Cake then quickly left before any of the Base's MP's arrived or any GPE soldiers did and when they got there they only saw three ash piles and just labeled that whoever they were committed suicide over being murdered out of anger.

***

Two-years-later

Apprentice Lieutenant Honey Cake finally got the ability to be an actual Lieutenant and her first assignment as an actual Lieutenant is to give a group of wastelanders an ultimatum or have seventy-two hours to be back on the good graces of the Grand Pegasus Enclave or be killed by them.

Unknown to her she a twenty-two-year-old started to have romantic feelings for the moderate purple alicorn in the group over Colonel Autumn Leaf and Pride due to she thinks he's a better leader over the latter two.
