"When you are defeated recover what you got." -Forgone. Z

During Cryogenic Storage

While Forgone was frozen in stable #142, The stable was starting to fall into disrepair, the only systems that were running were the emergency system, The main system gave up the ghost a long time ago. The ponies in
cryogenic storage started to wake up naturally do to the cryo systems failing on each pod, everypony that
woke up and started wandering the wastes, Few died but most survived, But Forgone's cryogenic pod
was a more advanced model meaning it had more fail safes so he was frozen longer than anyone.
But sometime in the year 2277 the stable began to have structural failures, Forgone's office was first to fail.
Do to the safety systems in the pod his pod ejected out of the stable with supplies that he put in a lock box.
His cryo pod started to warm up waking Forgone slowly, Forgone woke up 3 weeks after the stable failed.

Welcome To The Wasteland [TIME:POST-WAR] 200:Years 3:Mouths 2:Weeks 1:Days after the war (A.F.S.)

*starts feeling around* "HUGG," i open my eyes slowly and i see from the window. "THE OUTSIDE!?!? I-i-i." at the time i don't know the stable collapse and i was ejected. Heck i didn't even know that the pod had a ejection system back then, "ahh, what the, hmm, my rear hoof," I grab it and find 5 broses. "what the heck, AHH!" That pain sends my head back and i scream in pear pain from my hoof. after i stop i open the door and see if i have a healing potion in the pods storage, Then i see the sign of broken glass and a wet bag do to the broken healing potion. "crapppppp, ahh." I sit down next to the pod trying to look for something to be able to make a hoove brace. I found 2 sticks next to the pod long enough to use as the supports and reinforced bandages that are not soaked in the broken healing potion from the bag. "sigh, i need to find the nearest town and look for a doc or medic, OR SOMETHING!!" I scream out in anger how i was not able to fix my Celestia damned hoove, the pain from it is just hard to bare but ill power though it. After that i pass out from the pain.

Two hours later

I wake up but i don't open my eyes yet and act like I'm sleeping still, in my mind i thought i heard somepony walk up. The next thing i hear is a high pitched stallion type voice on the other side of the pod behind me, but then i hear magic being conjured up. I stay where i am and wait for him to come over here on the other side.

Then i hear the pony start talking, "Well, well, well, what do we have here." Start rummaging around in the bags on the sides of the pods. "Glass, would be good to sell for caps, 5.56 rounds in a clip, hay that's lucky I'm low on 5.56, And that's it , Damn it."

i grab my combat knife from my knife sheath with my zebra magic, i wait for him to start walking around the pod and i open a eye at him when he starts looking the other bag, he was a unicorn stallion like i heard, but the "cutie mark" that ponys call them was, Bottle caps? I did hear him mention caps, but i never thought that it would be the wasteland currency. I'm lucky he has not noticed me yet

I hear him start talking again, "In this one we have, a gun of some sort with a silencer and extended magazine, and more ammo looks like 9 millimeter, huh." he looks at me and see me not moving, "hum, hello, you ok Mr.zebra." he taps my shoulder.

I pounce onto him tackle him an put his back to my stomach with my combat knife to his neck. I whisper into his ear, "Who are you, how did you find me and who are you working for. You have 10 seconds to answer." i hold him as tight as i can but enough to let him breathe.

He starts talking, "Hug, my name is, Shade S-storm, i-i came across you, AHHG, I work as a Courier for the caravan company in Manhattan, HMM, would you let me go."

I release him and i sheaf my combat knife, "Well then I'm sorry for jumping you I'm AHH." My rear hoove starts hurting again and i scream in pain for a full minute, I conjure up and pain nullifier spell and cast it on myself. " *Pants*, sorry m-my rear hoof is broken and i just woke up from my pod." I see him give me a look that tells me he thinks I'm from outer space, "And, no, *Pants* ,I'm not from space, I was a zebra on the front line between Equestria and Zebrica, When i got orders to move back and, and, t-the bombs." I look out into the place i woke up in, all i see is a valley, A big valley that I'm in the middle of, With this pony. All of the suddenly it hits me that my tribe is dead and I'm the lucky one in this entire world even. I don't know why i was spared but, i was, Now it is just me my thoughts and this pony as a travel partner. I look at him, "Do you have a healing potion on you, or something to kill this pain until we go to the next town."

He looks back at me and answers, "Well i got a cart, And i wouldn't mind a travel partner. But i don't have a healing potion nor pain killers, sorry."

I look at my rear hoove then back at him, "would you mind putting me in the cart and take all the loot here but, i get to keep the rest you can keep the glass, also there should be a supply trunk nearby with my stuff in it so, can we make a stop there two please." I look at him and he nods his head and agrees. I feel him pick me up with his magic walk a couple of feet away from the pod, then he puts me in and makes me comfortable for the long trip. The pain nullifier spell wears off and i pass out from the pain.

The Days Of Pain [TIME:POST-WAR] 200:Years 3:Mouth's 2:Weeks 5:Days after the war (A.F.S.)

I wake up and i feel my rear hoof start hurting again but not as much as it was, i don't know how long i was out, but when my ears wake up i hear my PIP-Buck Radio going off with a unfamiliar voice then music, "DINKA MICNA HINC (WHAT THE HELL IS THIS!?!?!)" I turn it off and i realized that since my brain is not fully up, i talked in zebrican, i see he is giving me what the heck face. "Sorry my mind, went back to my old language."

He changes his look and asks me some questions, "So you where in a ice box for over 200 years huh, ho and sorry about the radio i don't have my own PIP-BUCK and i like listening to Dj-Pon3."

I say back to him, "ya i was in a ice box for 200 years, apparently and, it is fi- AHHH!" The pain comes back and i pass out again, For hours on end i regain consciousness for a couple of moments and then pass out again.

The Dream Rlem?!?! [TIME:POST-WAR] ???? after the war (A.F.S.)

I wake up in a white void, i start looking around for any one in this world, as i keep looking i just see blank white void surrounding me, "HELLO! ANYPONY, ZEBRA, SOMETHING OUT THERE." I keep turning my body around looking for anything a landmark just something, but then i realize that im passed out but Dreaming, just dreaming, then the world starts changing from my hooves up to the sky from a white void to a castle?? In the middle of my thought i hear a familiar voice come from behind me.

"Well Forgone, we meet again on, unconventional terms." The voice said.

My eyes widen in pear realization on who that mares voice was, i stand at attention ready to be barked at by orders, " GENERAL FORGONE REPORTING FOR DUTY, MAM!" I salute waiting for her to start talking but she said a thing i didn't expect.

"Atese, I'm not here in your mind to bark orders, i know your thinking that." said the mares voice.

My brain starts racking ideas on who i could be, Considering the reaction of my body i merged my body's reactions' to the voice and then i realized, " P-Princes L-Luna, i-i d-don't understand what's going on is this place my body is in real or a simulation." I asked Luna this and she gave me a look that confirmed my fear.

"I believe where out of time to meet Mr.Forgone, Until we meet again." Luna said walking off though the door's that are on a porch then taking off.

"Princes, WAIT!" I screamed into the duration that i see the shadow of her, Then it fades to black.

The new dawn for Forgone [TIME:POST-WAR] 200:Years 3:Months 3:Weeks 1:Days after the war (A.F.S.)

I see black just black, i move my head a bit, all i feel is a very dirty pillow that my head is on, the pillow is like putting my head in mud and smudging it around, then i hear a voice, The voice sound rouge like a older stallion talking a mare a little bit like arguing over what there going to do to me.

"I suggest we pull the plug on his blood bag." I hear the stallion's voice saying in a serious tone.

Really there going to kill me if i don't move, I better move quick. I thought this while i was hearing the conversation, I tried to move every bone in my flippen body but i was pearlized from the neck down, i slowly opened my eyes and they felt heavy like lead, "Hugg, W-where am i." The nurse come over and puts a hoof on my chest trying to keep my body down, like that does anything, i'm pearlized from the neck down, "Why can't i move and where am i." I say to the nurse.

"Your in new Appaloosa and the medication we put in your body pearlized you, Because we had to amputate your rear hoof." Said the nurse.

I could see she was not kidding, all of a suddenly i got my feeling of my limbs back and i felt nothing, just nothing on my left rear hoof, I grab the blankets and i see my hole rear hoof is gone like it was never there to begin with, "Is t-there a way to make me walk again." I say to the nurse as soon as i say that the doctor comes over, He is in a white Stable-Tec lab coat and he looks tired and roughed up a bit like he didn't sleep well.

"There is a way but, it invales cybernetic enhancements." he said looking at me straight in the eye.

I was shocked that i have the opportunity to be part cyborg, but it is a long shot i might as well ask for something for my eye. "Is there also a way to monitor the hoof without looking at my PIP-BUCK." I ask to the doctor and i was not expecting his answer.

"Yes there is but it is not easy to implant into your head i would have to replace your eye two." He said to me then he start to turn around and leave, Then he stops and saids a another thing. "Also don't worry your friend that bright you in told us and all medical services for the visit are free with also the cybernetics." he said then started to walks somewhere.

After that the nurse put some sort of knockout kicker in my blood and i fell asleep.
