Chapter 57: The Colonial Fort
Previous ChapterNext ChapterAt the recently captured Grand Pegasus Enclave base Daylight.
Purple and Rainy Night were sleeping peacefully and cuddling up. Rainy Night was using Purple as a pillow.
***
Hours later the sound of an alarm went off and Purple got up tiringly but Rainy Night didn't. Purple was a gentleman and took rainy Night into a barracks and placed her into a bed where he covered her up.
He went back to the boat and kept fixing it even raided the workshop for some spare parts to do it.
Paladin Sapphire got out of bed tired and walked over to the armory. She saw in the armory of Novasurge rifles and other weapons in weapons lockers with combination padlocks and don't know the unlocking numbers so she couldn't do anything.
Paladin Sapphire Heart then walked over to Purple and gave him a kiss on the cheek.
"What's that for?" Purple asked
Paladin Sapphire replied, "What I can't kiss my spouse? Even though I was raped and don't want to be kissed on the mouth or forced to get a kiss."
Purple replied, "Oh sorry. I'm just a little busy and it's only 0740. I mean 7:40 AM. My Stable runs off the old military time even though we couldn't tell if it was night or day in the Stable and still can't so we took what time it had with a grain of salt. Oh, can you go and turn the key honey? Please?"
Paladin Sapphire walked over to the keys in the console of the boat and turned and soon the boat just did the sputtering sound so Purple went to go fix the boat's filter, pump, and other things to get it running. He was in luck that the shop hat it all and was able to get it up and running.
The two just spent the morning fixing the boat and got it in running condition.
"What are you doing?" asked Purple
Paladin Sapphire replied, "Got to check the guns to make sure they're working."
Purple replied, "It's 8:20 in the morning and Rocky is still sleeping. You do not want to wake her up without her beauty sleep. If she's interrupted in her sleep she'll kill you."
Paladin Sapphire then walked back over to Purple and sat down next to him and placed a hoof around him and slid herself closer to him. She even gave him a little kiss on the mouth.
"I'll be back," said Purple, "Going to see what's on the other side of this bend."
Purple then soared to see a little village, a hill, and a star fort on another hill, and that small island is connected by a wooden bridge.
Purple wanted to get a closer look so he went to the village where he soared to it and found that the village well they pointed their weapons at him and told him to keep his weapons holstered and they won't have a problem.
"Stop pointing your weapons at me or we're going to have a huge problem," Purple said
Purple then walked around the town and like how advanced the village was even though it was a post-apocalyptic world around it. Purple enjoyed they got irrigation, crops, some farmland to the side to grow corn and other crops, not adding brick roads, basic security. But he disliked the lack of a wooden or stone wall to give that extra layer of security or any turrets but he isn't going to tell them how to live.
When Purple entered a store they refused to service him and didn't allow him to barter with them because he's new and the town's leader hasn't given him any permission for them to sell to him, not even the crappy equipment they have.
Purple just kept walking and soon a voice caught his attention.
"Purple? Is that you?" said a stallion's voice
Purple turned around and saw a unicorn stallion wearing a Stable 190.
Purple replied, "Vulcan? No way that's you."
Vulcan replied, "Yeah it's me. Purple what are you doing out here? The last time I saw you, you were only so high"
Vulcan then placed his right hoof up to Purple's flank where his torso and hind legs meet.
Purple replied, "At first my father died back when I was eleven. Well, Eight years later I came out here to clear my mind. I made my friends, created a group of ponies and creatures called "The Wasteland Guardians.". I'm married to two different mares and going to have a ton of foals. Yeah half of them were "conceived" while I was in a coma and the other half I volunteered to help breed with. Also, found out that my father was still alive just working for those Grand Pegasus Enclave, and sent him back to Stable 190 to be with my ma. Well besides me how have you been?"
Vulcan replied, "I've been fine. Still can't believe I got chosen to be a missionary by Mrs. Rose and the Cathedral of Princess Luna. But I was rescued by the ponies here, I got married and got five foals. Two are young adults, two teenagers, a colt and a new one coming soon. I tried to make peace with our neighbors across the way but they don't want us."
The jet black unicorn with brass-colored mane and tail, and with brass-colored hair pointed to the star fort on the other island. But he warned Purple that they're not friendly and shot at them when a colt or filly hits a ball over on their side they just shoot a warning shot or straight-up murder. He then told Purple to let him show the leader of the place.
***
In a building.
"Alright Purple," said Vulcan, "Whatever you do. Don't fuck around with her. She isn't the type to piss off."
Purple nodded in agreement and the two then entered the room and talked to the leader who wasn't a very pleasant nor friendly mare. Purple found out she was rude but decided to exploit Purple for their services and in return, he'll be able to shop, even live among them and probably get married and have kids. Even though Purple doesn't care if he has foals or not even though he hates his older brother for having kids.
"Alright I'll give you one shot." said the mare, "Do a job for me and do it right. You'll get another if you fail don't show your face around here again you'll be shot on sight."
Purple replied, "You won't be disappointed in me. I'll get it done right."
The mare replied, "You better or I get to place your dick and balls in a blender and make you eat them."
"Ok then... What's my job?" Purple asked
The mare replied, "There's a cave nearby which has a stash of goodies from long ago. I mean a long long time ago. The problem is the citizens, guards, militia, and warriors won't go into the place saying it's scary and cursed. Do it you'll get fifty bottlecaps and some access to our gear. The shittest level of gear we have. Don't ask me for more caps or I'll say something rude."
Purple replied, "Consider it done."
Purple then got up and left and he trotted up solo to the cave.
***
In the cave.
Could've been darker not what I imagined, Purple thought, Also, wish I had my friends with me to watch my back.
Purple drew his IF-37 Police Shotgun and watched out for any dangers. It was almost quiet but Purple only hit was water dripping but he did see some stalagmites and stalactites. He thought they were neat and scary-looking.
Purple then saw a gate and saw a lock pad which he took a bobby pin and a screwdriver where he quickly placed the screwdriver away after seeing it won't fit even without trying. The lock was a pain in his ass but he didn't fight with it and soon he unlocked it.
There was a crate which says on it, "EQUESTRIAN ARMY SURPLUS"
When the gate opened a pack of ferals swarmed Purple and he opened fire with his shotgun blasting them. Purple saw them wearing old Equestrian combat armor and combat helmets but he aimed for the head.
Purple just grabbed the surplus box and galloped like hell and fired back killing them and safely made it back to the village.
***
In the small church.
"Pastor Vulcan," said Purple, "Got the supplies your leader was looking for. I think. I didn't have a chance to look without being attacked by ferals if it's the wrong one I'll go back and get more."
Vulcan replied, "Thanks put the surplus box down and I'll make sure the sick and injured will get to them."
Purple placed the box down where he opened it and noticed there were only about three boxes of healing potions but each box only has four, twelve Radaway, twelve buck, twelve Dash, Twelve Mint-als, Twelve bottles of painkillers, twelve Radsafe's, twelve rage, twelve Radeject, twelve radexpel, twelve Equestrian Power, Two metal ammo boxes of .308, two metal boxes of .357 Magnum, two metal boxes of .44 Magnum, two metal ammo boxes of .45 Auto Pistol, two ammo boxes of .45-70, two metal ammo boxes of .50 Caliber, two ammo boxes of 5.56mm, two ammo boxes of 7.62x51mm ammo, two ammo boxes of 12 gauge rounds, and two ammo boxes of .30-06. Let's see there's one hundred and thirty-two medicine and each ammo box has two hundred and fifty rounds. So there are fifty-five hundred bullets. Never heard of RadEject or RadExpel."
Vulcan replied, "RadEject was designed for ponies who are allergic to Radaway. It's the same and only a total of 4200 were made before the Balefire bombs hit. If the terminal in Los Unicornia is to believe. RadExpel is the same thing but was made for troops in the Chemical Corps and so on. Only 8400 were made if the terminal in Seaddle is to believe. Go report your success to the leader. Don't let her bitchy attitude get the best of you. You'll warm up to her sooner or later."
Purple nodded his head and left and saw some pegasi walking around with a smile on their faces even some had colts or fillies if not both riding on their backs or on the top of their heads. Purple asked what's with their cutie marks and they all gave the same story that they're "Dashites".
"Dashite?" said Purple, "Is that a pegasus who was a citizen or soldier with the Grand Pegasus Enclave?"
They all agreed and all said, "We wear it with a mark of pride not a mark of shame. Yeah, we live a half-mile away from a Grand Pegasus Enclave base. But we don't care."
Purple told them that he and his friends took the base out and placed it under the control of the Wasteland Guardians.
A Dashite replied, "I bet Colonel Autumn Leaf cost them the war too. He's extremely overconfident and he underestimates his opponents. He's probably either captured, dead, or made RedEye's sex slave by now. My gut says he's dead by now. He's a lucky son of a bitch if he's still alive."
Purple then left the Dashites alone because to them they're happy not adding they have families and already given the biggest middle feather to the Grand Pegasus Enclave by blowing up their biggest ammo dump that's beneath the clouds which could be seen from a hundred and fifty miles away in all directions. Purple wishes he could've seen it but he was still sucking on his mother's very small mammary gland/breast when that happened but that happened when he was a week old foal.
***
Back in the leader's office.
"I delivered the supplies unless you want me to go get more," said Purple
The mare replied, "No that'll do. For now, what did we agree on for a job well done? Was it three hundred bottle caps?"
Purple replied, "No it was fifty bottlecaps."
The mare chuckled and replied, "I do like honesty. I've had ponies try to nickel and dime me out of more bottlecaps than agreed on. Here you go."
She slid over the bottlecaps.
"So you ready for your second job?" said the mare, "Or do you want to rest up for a bit?"
Purple replied, "It's not even nine-thirty and I'm ready for more."
The mare replied, "I like stallions like you. Have the hunger for adventure and got balls of steel doing what others won't. Alright. I can tell you the star fort across on the other side. Well, we want it. We're planning on a surprise attack but that's kind of impossible."
Purple replied, "Let me guess. As a civil minded individual, you'd feel obliged to step in and have a new place under your belt. Also. You want me to eliminate the outer guards so your militia can catch them off guard."
"Where can I find more guys like you?", the mare asked
Purple replied, "Alright considered it done ma'am."
the mare replied, "When you're done, shoot a flare-up at night so we can attack them."
Purple replied, "I got soldiers under my command and I can have some come here and help with your assault if you want."
The mare replied, "If you wish. But I want my militia to take part at least 98% of it."
Purple replied, "Got it."
Purple then left and went outside.
She's becoming a nice mare, Purple thought, I guess due to she's wearing "Project: Super Pone" armor and probably had a rough childhood.
Purple lit up his horn and teleported back to GPE base Daylight and got his friends.
They even got spooked by him.
***
Back in the village/town at the church.
"Vulcan," said Purple, "These are my friends."
Rocky, Paladin Sapphire, and Starry introduced each other to him even though Rocky picked on Paladin Sapphire and told Vulcan not to let her eat "Wasteland Chili" if he wants to keep smelling. That keeps getting on her nerves.
Due to it's a stealth mission they had to keep their weapons behind. But Vulcan came prepared with his secret stash that he keeps under his bed. They were surprised that a pastor had weapons.
In the box was a longbow, a compound bow, and a heavy crossbow. There's also an EMC C-bar knife, a large bowie knife with a serrated edge, a trench knife, a silver broadsword, and a survival tactical tomahawk.
There were some other goodies such as frag grenades, Molotov cocktails, incendiary grenades, shurikens, javelins, throwing axes, throwing knives, concussion grenades, mines, and spiked ponyshoes.
Paladin Sapphire picked up the heavy crossbow and the Equestrian Marine Corps K-bar knife. Rocky picked up the large bowie knife with a serrated edge and a longbow. Starry just got the trench knife and the broadsword.
They then left and thanked him for the suppressed weapons and went on their way.
***
At the bridge.
"Alright," said Purple, "Should we sneak in underground or just take them head-on stealthfully?"
Rocky and Starry agreed to want to take the underground one, Paladin Sapphire wants to do what Purple wants to do.
They split up, Rocky and Starry went underground were Purple and Paladin Sapphire went head-on.
***
Up the hill.
There were two guards standing still with muskets and the two were talking. Paladin Sapphire snuck up on the one to the left and sliced his neck where Purple threw the tomahawk with his wing hitting the guard in the heart.
Purple acted as a gentle stallion and hid the bodies and had Paladin Sapphire wait for him to finish and he went on.
***
Down in the underground tunnel aka a sewer Rocky and Starry soon ran into some iron bars they couldn't get through. Rocky could teleport to the other side but she wouldn't be able to bring Starry so the two mares turned around and joined Purple and Paladin Sapphire.
Purple temporarily left them behind as he soared up to the edge of the fort and there were two guards just walking back and forth and Purple used his wings to drag them overboard and to the ground and they fell and broke their necks.
Paladin Sapphire started to climb up the wall and she did it carefully.
"Whatever you don't fall down." said Rocky, "And don't land on me then fart on me."
Paladin Sapphire shook her head in disappointment and climbed up the wall up to Purple who stuck out his left-wing, she placed out her right hoof, Purple grabbed her leg and pulled her up.
It was Starry's turn and she didn't need any help getting up and Rocky was last where she almost fell if it wasn't for Purple using his magic to catch her and bring her up.
They have gotten into a fight with the guards on the roof and Paladin Sapphire thought Purple was kind enough to give the evil ponies a painless death as he either threw them over the edge, broke their necks or rammed the tomahawk or combat knife into their hearts or sliced their necks.
Paladin Sapphire made it worst where a unicorn armed with a magical energy musket fired and missed where the energy round hit one of the other guards.
"Oh hell with it," said Purple.
Purple then pulled out a flare gun and fired the flare towards the village even though it ain't night and soon the town's militia ran towards the danger and started to attack the wooden gate which soon broke down.
There weren't a lot of guards on top and Purple jumped down and there were two enemy soldiers inside where he used his combat knife and tomahawk and took them out before they could get a shot off.
Paladin Sapphire, Rocky, and Starry took a long way around and down some stairs even though they could've stayed above fighting the enemy above.
Purple rarely used his SATS but only did if he doubt if it thought he couldn't hit and just made sure he had at least a chance and not to waste ammo due to how scarce ammo is and they just had a big shoot out.
One unicorn aimed his bolt-action hunting rifle and aimed it at Paladin Sapphire where Purple galloped and shoved Paladin Sapphire out of the way. The .223 round hit Purple and lodged right into one of his ribs.
Paladin Sapphire picked up Purple and placed him onto her back even though she placed his face close to her plot/butt and she galloped like a bat out of hell.
***
In the church.
Paladin Sapphire placed Purple down on a pew and Vulcan asked what happened to him.
Paladin Sapphire didn't know where to start where she just told him that he stupidly if not heroically charged, shoved her out of the way, and took the bullet. She even told Vulcan that what Purple did was noble how old knights way back then before gunpowder was invented and armies could eliminate each other in seconds.
Paladin Sapphire then retrieved their weapons besides Purple's 7.62mm Automatic Battle rifle and she galloped back to the fight.
Vulcan had a problem and that is his surgical tools but he had no way to clean them without getting Purple sick due to infection.
"Use some whiskey, scotch, or vodka to sterile them," said Purple.
Vulcan replied, "There isn't any alcohol in this town. Ran out hundreds of years ago. Sometime after the Balefire bombs detonated. Maybe some painkillers can help you."
Vulcan opened a translucent orange pill bottle and gave Purple a few painkillers.
"Alright Purple," said Vulcan, "I'm going to give you some Morphine from the few morphine we have. Just going to knock you out for a bit and you'll be right as rain."
Vulcan then used his magic and gave Purple a shot of morphine which put him asleep and Vulcan wished the forceps, scalpel, surgical tubing, surgical scissors, a bone saw even though he didn't use it, a medical brace which he didn't use, a sewing needle and some surgery sewing.
***
The hours passed were two hours passed where Vulcan had a hard time trying to remove the bullet without hurting or hitting one of Purple's lungs, an artery, or his heart.
Vulcan was able to remove the bullet and patch Purple up.
Soon the doors opened and it was Rocky, Paladin Sapphire, and Starry who came to check on Purple. But Vulcan told them to check in with the leader.
***
In the leader's room or building.
"Excuse me, ma'am," said Starry, "We'd like to talk to you about that Colonial fort on the hill."
The mare replied, "What happened to the purple alicorn?"
"He got shot and in the building two buildings down and being taken care of. Wait you look familiar. Were you at a place called "The School"? Because their's a cream-coated mare with blue hair and blue eyes?" Paladin Sapphire said
The mare replied, "No that's my identical twin sister Target. My name is Bullseye. She hates me because she called me a "Zebra Lover" due to instead of putting Zebra's out of their misery back during the war I would waste first aid on them and help them so they could flee. Well, I'll give him the caps we agreed on later. Thanks for that."
They then all left and walked around the town where Bullseye gave them permission to shop with them even though it was what they sold to them was the crappiest of equipment they had even weapons made of wood and old pipes.
They got a surprise visit where it's Critical Shot where he use to visit this place a lot with his mother and sold their crops to for a reduced price.
