Fallout Equestria: Undead Reknown
The Vampire, The Earth Pony and The Sphynx
Previous ChapterNext ChapterA full day has passed and Nightwalkers’ night vision begins to kick in as the duo continues on their journey. The energy cell inside Night Walker's power armored suit had died some time ago making traveling a bit more difficult but with how severe his leg was wounded and how much pain he was in without it wearing it just couldn't be helped, better than trying to crawl.
‘How did we even survive that.. especially me I should be dead’ Night thought to himself as the pain in his leg was beginning to get unbearable.
Violet looks around limping as she starts to get weaker with each step. “Hey… Princy I don’t mean to bother you but I need to lay down. I'm not feeling very well” Violet said as she staggered trying not to fall down the effects of her wounds beginning to take hold and her body exhausted. Night barely got to her before she collapsed breathing a bit heavily, he lifts her up onto his back and began to walk trying to find shelter. He trots ahead his rusted armor fighting him with each step soon finding an old sky wagon laying on its side, he forces the doors open and gently places violet inside covering her up with his old vault 220 cloak. “I will be right back, I need to go find some emergency supplies.. Patch you up at least” Night said as he left the unconscious mare in the sky wagon and headed out
Nightwalker followed the road for about a mile before he came upon what looked like an old pre-war medical facility, it was small and only looked like it was big enough to handle certain types of emergencies unlike a hospital.
“Don’t look like I’ll find anything better than this” Night said as he entered the building.
Inside the building was a mess, papers and clipboards scattered across the floor, the facility gave off an eerie vibe as night continued forward. 'First thing I should probably grab would be some bandages or bedding cloth then I should probably try and locate a few blood bags or something' Night said to himself as he walked over to the nurses station hoping there’d be a supply list or something that’d help him out.
Suddenly Nights bat-like hearing picked up a disturbance coming from behind him, his ear twitched and as he turned to face the source he found himself staring down the barrel of a full .50 caliber rifle.
“I don’t take kindly to trespassers, why have you come here and make it quick, you have till three” the voice behind the gun was female yet had a certain fierceness behind it. Nightwalker's night vision was able to make out the figure very well, she looked like a griffin but wasn’t, she had the body and tail of a lion, wings and head of a pony. Her eyes were green and feline, cat like fangs, her coat was a bleached blonde color, hair was a crazy combination of green with blue stripes. She stared the prince down with a very serious almost death stare.
“I didn’t know this place was occupied ma’am, I came here looking for medical supplies, you see, my.. Um mare friend was badly wounded. She needs blood and some new bandages. Once I have those I’ll be out of-” before he could finish the figure lowered the gun just a little “lemme stop you right there, your friend was hurt? And you just FUCKING LEFT THEM WHEREVER THE FUCK YOU FELT LIKE LEAVING THEM, HAVE YOU PERHAPS BEEN LIVING UNDER A DAMN ROCK!!! AND THEY’RE A FUCKING MARE TOO! I OUGHT TO CASTRATE YOU MYSELF!” she yelled almost roaring as she hit nightwalker over the head with the butt of the rifle.
“Ouch, fucking bitch that hurt, and yea.. I had no other choice and she’s safe. I hid her in a sky wagon a mile up the road” Night said, rubbing his head. The figure just about hit him again before she began to walk past him towards the door. “I swear you are hopeless how you made it this far without being killed is beyond me, there’s a storage room that should have what you need just down the hall,.. I’ll go watch over your little friend but after that you owe me bat boy” the figure walked out the door and as she exited the building she spread her wings which now that they were fully outstretched seemed to look more like a gryphons than a pegasus and flew off towards violets direction.
“I sure hope I just made the right choice letting that thing go to violet..” Night said as he walked down the hallway.
After about thirty minutes of searching, night finally found the supplies he needed to tend to violets’ wounds plus a book on how to mend wounds with magic that the vampire prince gave a happy little bat-like squeak to “this ought to come in handy.. Now let’s get back to violet.” Night said as he stashed the supplies in his battle saddle and walked out the door as fast as his power armor would let him which wasn't very fast considering it had no power.
—-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It was daylight by the time Violet woke up and began to look around. Night was asleep, almost cuddled up to her, she blushed slightly a faint smile crossed her face ‘I can’t believe I’m this close to him’ she thought as she tried to move a bit, a sharp pain suddenly filled her side forcing her to lay back down “well well well, she’s finally awake. Your boyfriend there did a damn good job at patching you up, however I wouldn’t move too much the wound is still pretty bad, and might I add you two are some kinky fucks, you let him bite you on your flank? can't say you two don't know how to keep things spicy, though you may want to tell him to not bite down so hard next time.. unless of course you like that sorta thing” a voice said coming from the entrance of the sky wagon causing violet to turn to it, upon doing so she saw a cat like figure staring back at her “who or better yet what are you? And what are you doing here? and I-it's not like that either!!” Violet said cautiously and somewhat embarrassed by the comment as it caught her off guard completely, her eyes searching for her gun only to see it on the other end of the wagon out of reach. “I am Flare Blitz or Hotshot whichever name you feel your little pony mind can better remember, and I’m a sphynx my little pony, and don’t worry... if I wanted to kill you you’d already be dead.” flare said as she knelt down next to Violet, her sharp talons out on display making violent back up into night a bit.
“H-he’s not my boyfriend” Violet said blushing slightly, turning her head trying to hide her face in her mane. “Oh but you want him to be don’t you” flare said almost teasingly “I-I don’t.. Yes- wait... I mean” Violet began to get redder and redder before burying her face in her hooves and letting out a faint scream.
“Don’t worry your secret's safe with me” Flare said with a chuckle patting the flustered earth pony on the head before she began to walk out of the sky wagon “so where are you two heading? With your injuries you won’t last very long out here” Flare added turning her head toward violet “We are heading to New Appleloosa and with Night we should be able to-” violet was cut off as the sphynx raised an eyebrow at her “Nightwalker... was it? can’t hide the smell of blood from me, I know he is injured somewhere and he is simply forcing himself forward… for you. He is like a wounded animal and that armor being the condition it is in will not be of much help to him, not much longer anyway. I am going to tag along with you two at least till you make it to your destination then I am out of here, and I won’t take no for an answer” she said with a very 'if looks could kill' type scowls making violets ears slap back.
“Fine fine, you’re right we won’t make it without some help.” Violet said laying back down she stroked nights crimson mane with her hoof as she watched him sleep. “Once he wakes up we can get going. I don't want to wake him.” Violet said with a smile and flare gave a nod before she walked outside perching herself on top of the sky wagon.
As Night slept he began to dream again, this one was much clearer. it was the battle of shattered hoof ridge, he was only there as an observer at first but upon seeing his friend Big Macintosh take that bullet he slipped into action. Going against the wishes of the princess he bit into the neck of a zebra and drained it dry entering into a vampiric blooded frenzy he carved a path for the princess to escape. This dream amplified the screams of the zebra he cut down, it began to slowly torment him, he could feel their flesh in his teeth, taste their blood and smell the total fear from that day he could hear celestias' voice calling his name, "nightwalker, nightwalker, NIGHTWALKER!!" this time it was violet night bolts straight up as he surveyed the room he wasn't fully out of it because when he looked to violet he saw a zebra soldier who he killed in battle. This made night jump backwards extending his wings and baring his fangs "I.. I killed you, you're not real you're not real..." Night was shaking his head as violet was starting to get worried.
"what's his problem?" Flare said a bit concerned. "he has these... flash backs of his past, this is only the second time he's had one of these but it's a bad one." Violet said before trying to approach him, he suddenly tackles violet who then hits him over the head causing night to snap out of it "ugh.. did- did I hurt anyone.." Night said as he looked at violet a bit hurt that happened. she only shook her head with a smile and hugged him "I'm just glad you're ok princy" Violet said which made Night smile a bit.
"I don't mean to interrupt but we are burning daylight and it'd be best we keep moving still got a good while before we reach new appleloosa and I bet Night here would like to get in his armor so he can walk." Flare said as she helped night walk over to his armor. "you know, that leg may wind up being better off amputated bat boy" flare remarked as she got a better look at the stallions leg. "you got the balls to try and cut it off kitty?" Night remarked only to find a talon pressed against his jaw "call me that again and I'll make sure you won't have to worry about fillies or colts of your own ever again understand me?" flare said with a grin. "Now let's get moving" she said as she shoved night into the suit and closed it up before walking out of the wagon with night and violet right behind them.
"how much longer till we reach our destination? or do you still want to make that pit stop?" Violet asked curiously as night used his EFS to track his destination "due to how bad our injuries are and how low we are on supplies I'd much rather not chance it, so we should continue ahead shouldn't be but another days walk" Night said as he walked ahead.
"you got wings yet you're walking I just noticed that" Flare said as she gave night a puzzled look
"yea I'm unable to use em, been asleep for 200 years and now my wings aren't as strong as they should be" Night said slightly stretching them out a bit. "or and hear me out, you're a pussy and too afraid to fall on your face trying to relearn such a basic skill" Flare said which night gave an offended look to "I am not scared" Night said slightly offended.
"really? ok prove it" Flare said and before night could respond she lifts violet up and carries her up into the air before dropping her "Catch!" " wait no no no no.. damn it night walker help!" Violet yelled out as she began to fall Night began to gallop at full speed flapping his wings to no avail they weren't strong enough so he used his telekinesis to catch her and set her down. "what the hell was that!?" Night said furiously
"that was an attempt to help you fly, but looks like you're not ready yet" flare said apologetically "sorry I was only trying to help" Night sighed "ok well don't do that again now let's keep moving" Night said walking off.
