Fallout Equestria: Shinobi
Chapter 4
Previous ChapterNext Chapter"She survived?! How?!"
Sipho's voice rang out, she looked around panicked trying to figure out how! Then she looked closer at a picture, Her Sharingan eye picking up every single detail, there was a small part of the picture that showed shining steel, a gun barrel. It was the last photo, she weas saved, but why was he placed on display?! She also saw the mares injuries were smaller then when she first gained them, healing!
"Boss we have an issue!" She shouted into her radio.
Zephyr's voice echoed back gruff and agitated, "We know, we have an issue also! Robots have started to attack us! Likely from you activating the system, thank you by the way, we need you now Jar-nee will summon you!"
Sipho nodded and she vanished in a puff of smoke. When she appeared again she heard the sounds of gunfire and missile fire.
She looked over and noticed Zephyr, Lo-mi, Naraka, and also La-ma firing their weapons. Jar-nee looked at the Panicking Avalanche and sighed after he summoned her.
Sipho nodded and vanished when she used her Stealth Buck. She appeared behind the Robots at random and hacked into them, taking control, she targeted the heavy bots first before she targeted the rest. It did not take long, the only Mechanical casualties were Ponytrons who lost a few limbs. Sipho exhaled, happily. "Boss will be so happy."
Zephyr sighed, "Boss will also be happy to know, it was not a couple hundred but a few thousand ponies, each one directed to follow the Command of Akatsuki, this will give our Organization more power, along with those dragons we captured. Also Jar-nee noted there was Zebra, Zony, Griffin, hell even a few Diamond dogs along with the ponies. Who ever wanted ton help knew exactly what we needed." He shivered also, "There was one single Dragon Pony Hybrid, she is missing a few parts but she will be useful if she can be fixed.
Jar-nee nodded, "well, should I summon Naruto?" He looked to Avalanche who calmed, down. "Sorry bud but you saw to much to leave the Akatsuki now."
Avalanche paled, "You will k-kill me?"
Jar-nee choked but started to laugh, "No, we want you to join, of your own freewill." Avalanche looked into his young eyes.
"Yes."
Jar-nee smiled, He opened his Rinnegan and Sharingan eye. He slammed his hand on the ground and shouted, "Kuchiyose no Jutsu!" Seals formed on the ground until they were a couple feet wide and then in a puff of smoke Naruto appeared.
His Nine-tails swaying behind him along with the crown on his head, his Akatsuki robes tight, and his revolver on his hip. His eyes were exposed. "So?"
Zephyr nodded, each one ignore the shocked Avalanche face, "We found this Stable, it is for our occupation!" Naruto's eyes widened slight hearing this.
"Really?"
Sipho nodded, "Yeah boss! We have found out tons of things about this place, they have two hangars, both open to the outside world, one Hangar seems to be empty on the map. There is also a Cyro-pods and a Vehicle bay. The stable is actually huge, with tons of weapons within, each pony was armed and armored with Modern weapons! I also discovered this was a Stable-tec, M.O.M, and M.O.A supported Stable." She looked over to the M.O.M and M.O.A Insignia besides Stable-tec. Naruto face palmed.
"Great, but the population did they survive?"
She nodded, "The stable only had a 100 inhabitants before the end of the war, most were hybrids or close allies of a different species they wanted to protect. The rest are Military/Guards from the Stable itself. The Overmare also somehow survived, she seems to have a healing factor boss, like yours!"
La-ma spoke next, "We also a few VIP targets with the Cryo before the war, General Xethia she lead the Zebra army before the whole war started to become this bad, she then forsaken the Zebra empire and fled to the jungle. Where Daring Do found and assisted them, they soon joined the army and were frozen here a month before the bombs fell."
Naruto nodded, "Anyone else I should be aware of?"
"Yes a Dragon/pony hybrid names Frost, She is reported to have a very brash and uncaring attitude but always willing to help those in need. She is white, just white, she has red eyes, Albino. She is also capable of using frost magic, she has a horn and wings, so she was mistaken for a Alicorn quite often she became arrogant because of it and named herself Frost Princess."
"Okay?"
La-ma sighed so Lo-mi took after her, "The last one is a wild card, he was one of the only Diamond Dog to act in the war, he is very protective of ponies and others. He is named Blitz, he joined the military after his friends were killed by Zebra, the ponies accepted his help and had him be frozen here for our potential use."
Jar-nee spoke last, "The last one of note is Griffin, she named Gabby, she is unlike the other griffin always friendly almost like a pony. When the war kicked up she was hidden by ponies, and soon frozen here."
Naruto nodded, "Good, so weapons?"
Sipho spoke first, "The Overmare Terminal stated something about Project Moon Crusher.
Naruto's eyes narrowed. "I have not heard of this."
Sipho, "Not surprising it was made and finished inside the stable." Naruto hummed. "It was made by the the three forces, something amazing and awesome. This project was supposed to end the war alone, the room it was supposed to be done in is that huge empty hangar. The interesting this is, the crew is in those pods." She pulled out a paper and showed the highlighted tag Crew, or Ship.
Naruto nodded, "Good, I will be sending troop to you this instant, they will arrive by our only means of transport, APC."
Sipho sighed, "That will very very obvious, we have nothing that can be used for stealth?"
Naruto shook his head. "Only way to not be spotted would be by foot, but it is dangerous, so we will be using APC."
Zephyr nodded. "Yes boss, also take Avalanche here he wants to join us." Naruto looked to the shocked pony, he nodded.
"So, what are you good at Avalanche?"
It did not take very long for the entire Stable to be alive again, Pre-war frozen ponies were awakened and soon the Stable became the main Akatsuki base, the base where the recruits were truly led to. The Ex-raiders became a very valuable asset, most became powerful warriors or smart ponies. The Akatsuki began to spread to Ashville, where the entire town joined.
The Akatsuki became a new hot topic in most of the wasteland, Akatsuki Mercenaries covered the world, each one searching for jobs or locations.
While the Akatsuki was huge in the wasteland, it was not revered or even feared, Most ponies only assumed it to be a normal Mercenary force yes they cost more and only took dangerous jobs that benefited ponies, but still they had no idea how much power the Akatsuki had.
Currently at this moment, the Akatsuki has around 15k ponies, from stables, Military Bunkers, or more. The Akatsuki had many above ground bases that were once Raider territory, It was only a few months after the Akatsuki founding.
Naruto was looking at the paperwork Zephyr was supposed to do, he was after all the Leader of the Akatsuki but it was a secret only Akatsuki members knew, each one had their Loyalty secure by Naruto's Kotoamatsukami.
"Damn this group." It was about a Steelranger group asking to join them, apparently when they heard what he was doing they wanted to join, he had no issue with it. He just had to use Kotoamatsukami to ensure their loyalty, nothing else. Ne learned not to trust the pony Organizations, so he used the eyes to create a true nation.
He looked to Zephyr and nodded, "Allow them to join but keep them under watch, if you have to use Kotoamatsukami to either erase their memories or turn them allies." Naruto's eye was getting tired from all the use it was getting. "I am soon going to replace both eyes in my socket, while Shisui's is powerful, his eye is getting harder to see from. I don't want this eye to go blind." Zephyr nodded, "Now the Rinnegan will be replaced by Sasuke's It may mean you guys will be out of commission for a few days." He did not mention, the likely death of his soul puppets, somehow the Corpses were revived by Kurama's chakra, only the body. New souls split off his own to create the souls for the puppets, and this in turn caused Naruto less mental issues.
Zephyr nodded again knowing it was fact.
"Don't worry you guys will be find, your bodies will still have their pulse you will just go into a coma."
The day came where Naruto pulled the eyes out of his socket, he wanted to change eyes so he would stop relying on Kotoamatsukami. Now that is army was big enough, he did not have to worry about smaller forces destroying them. Most of his army was either frozen for war or hidden in underground bases. Only trained soldiers were place above ground.
Doctor Black was looking at Naruto from above, his eyes looking over to his nurse who was preparing Sasuke's eyes for transplant.
Naruto was strapped down, and his eyes opened forcefully, Naruto was soon stuck with a needle that put him to sleep.
When he awoke his eyes felt new and different, but familiar, he opened his eyes to expose the Tomoed Rinnegan placed in his right eye. He grabbed his eyepatch and slid it over his eye. He knew now that gaining recruits would be difficult but now he wanted o no longer force loyalty, Raiders are one thing but civilians are another.
Frost was looking at Naruto, he had his eyepatch emplace over his right eye. "Alright today we will be forming One huge team, Akatsuki Devils, You have all proved to me that you are easily able to defeat almost any pony. So Frost, Blitz, and Gabby. You three will be join the Akatsuki Devils, Lead by Team Leader Zephyr. You will be sent to Fillydelphia, we need to secure the bunker located there, but Red-eye and the Steelrangers there are hostile. Ensure your own protection, I do not wish to know a single one of you died." They nodded their heads.
Naruto looked at his clawed hands and scowled, "Kurama?" No answer. "Kurama this is not funny, it has been months! Where are you buddy?" Again no answer. His eyes went wide he felt Kurama's presence so he was alive just asleep it seems. Naruto gave up, He attempted to pull Kurama's chakra but stopped before he did, it was small and weak, no wonder he was getting no answer from Kurama.
He just hoped he was okay, Kurama is like his brother after the battle with Kaguya and the demon Madara.
Zephyr along with his team found out quickly they were able to stay alive even without Naruto's Rinnegan only thing they were missing was their shared vision, or vision in general. When Naruto's new eyes were implanted their eyes felt even more powerful, while they discovered they could not use Kotoamatsukami, like they suspected, they were capable of using Amaterasu, Kagutsuchi, Amenotejikara, and Susanoo. With all their powers, they were easily r-ranked shinobi. While they could mold Chakra it was weaker and less precise as Naruto, their bodies were meant for magic.
Their team had activated their Blood Henges, they were getting 3 new recruits for their team, now names Akatsuki Devil.
Before long the recruits walked into the Devils room, Frost looked at the three power armored ponies, only two had their helmet off while the Officer kept it on. The Rest looked like normal ponies, just with special looking weapons and armor.
Frost and Gabby wore the Quadruped Akatsuki cloaks, while Frost had a machine gun strapped to his side along with a double barrel short shotgun. Gabby had twin 12.7 suppressed pistols along with the same model Stealth Pip-buck as Sipho. Blitz wore one of Naruto's Akatsuki cloaks, along with a semi-auto shotgun.
Zephyr smiled under his mask. "Alright, I wish for you three to understand something, we are the best of the best. Naruto our boss is preparing to give you guys some of his magic for you to gain our level." They nodded, "So what will happen is we have four main places we must watch, One is is near Canterlot, this one is important. We are looking for an innocents soul who died 200 years ago, but still remains, her name is Puppysmiles she is pink with yellow mane and tail. She is wearing a Environmental suit, we will send her to Naruto who will use some Techniques to revive her fully." Zephyr nodded as he looked at the paper and smiled, "Gabby will join Puppysmiles and lead her to the Akatsuki base, we will attempt to revive those she wants but it will be harder then we think."
Sipho spoke next, "The Next on the list is named, er, Hired Gun? This is not right, its Silver Storm. We actually need her help, she is one of the best Markspony in Equestria. This mission will be taken by a whole team, So Main Team Devil will take this mission."
Zephyr spoke next, "The next one is Blackjack, I want you." He pointed his armored hoof to Frost to assist her, but only join her during the events of Deus Death, we will be taking Deus's body for Cloning, where we will transfer his brain."
Sipho looked to Blitz, "You are next, you will be joining Little Pip in helping Equestria, You will have to join her when she attacks Appleloosa." Her eyes narrowed, "You will have to be outfitted for many new weapons and armor, know the Akatsuki is your family, you can call us for help anytime you need it."
Zephyr nodded, "That is all the plans we have, Sadly all this planning will have to wait the 9 months, Akatsuki has still not spread out enough to even get to East Equestria. We are well known to the West coast, but the East coast is empty of us we need to be know to gain more numbers, This will be our mission. We will be exploring the East cost and support, We are headed to Marefort and to the other countries you three will stay here and will be in contact via Akatsuki rings."
Zephyr looked to Sipho when the three other ponies left, "Is the Dancer ready?" The Dancer is a Gunship, that was Earth Pony Design, not useable to Pegasi. Though it was by far the most advanced ship, it had Telekinetic shields heavy armor, 105mm rapid-fir 40mm cannon and a 25mm gatling gun. It was capable of dropping bombs and other things. The Best thing about it was its use of Balefire reactor, one of the few prototypes.
"Yes boss, we ready for our mission to Zebrica?" Zephyr nodded, "How long do you think it will take us to set up a Portal, There are no bases there but we need to investigate the Zebra lands." Sipho nodded, Then the whole team walked from the room, each one going to the exact same location, The Portals. They were currently within the main Akatsuki base, Stable 59.
They were headed to one of the Pre-war Military Air Bases, One the Akatsuki gained access to and rebuilt from the ground up. Along with Secretly rebuilding the Dancer, who will be carrying along a ground rover.
"Sipho is Naraka trained to fly it?" She nodded, "Jar-nee will be located in the plan to help with Keeping it in top shape, Lo-mi will be the Gunner." The two nodded also. "Me, Sipho, and La-ma will be on the ground, in the rover, The Ship can stay in the air for months without landing as long as you ensure it is kept cool. We are doing this Mission first to test our capability with the Dancer, we were trained but we want to know if we can accept it in our own force. Luckily The Zebra lands are the perfect place for testing secret projects, No Enclave. We will be flying to a Zebrica at low altitude until we exit Enclave air space."
The team walked the hallways seeing ponies who may or may not be important, most of them were Engineers, Soldiers, or even Science corp. The entire Stable had become a city underground, these men were either Slavers, Raiders, and bandits. These ponies were now loyal and powerful warriors for the Akatsuki, they will no longer kill or attack innocent ponies of the Wasteland.
They arrived to the Portal room, it was once the entry to the Stable they had blocked off the entire entrance with concrete, now it was the portal room. They had to rebuild the hut the stable was on and also fill the entire entrance way with concrete, Naruto then used Magic seals to create portals in and out of the base, This way the base was extremely defendable. After all this Stable was now named Vault 1 to keep a clear distinction between Stable-tec Stables and Akatsuki Vaults.
The Portal room was not very good looking, it was still under construction, but the idea was there. It would look more like a garden then a portal entry, with fresh living plants, but it was also heavy defended. There would be drop down turrets, wall turrets, and even stand turrets. This place was by far the most defended underground location by the time it was finished. The entire room was Gear shaped, almost identical to Stable-tec door, with small rivers or purified water running down them. The main thing to be of not was how tall the room was, it could easily fit trees, which is what it will do. In the center of the room was a huge portal.
The Team continued on their path, Walking to the portal, before they could enter they were stopped. White Skies, who now had her Cybernetic wings placed on her side, whistled. "Geez When Naruto Said you guys would be going on a mission, I didn't think now, you all just gained newbies!" Zephyr smiled under his helmet slightly, "Though, why are you going to Zebrica to begin with?"
Zephyr nodded, his armored head and spoke, "We need to test out Dancer, the AC-130 was a test model, it should be an amazing ship."
Sipho spoke next, "We need to discover if it had real combat usage, otherwise we may need to fix and change out the guns."
White Skies nodded, "So?"
Zephyr nodded, "Thank you for allowing us entry miss Skies."
She giggled, "You outrank me."
Zephyr shook his head, "Even so you outrank us when it comes to knowledge."
She just sighed. "Get going."
"Right!" They spoke in unison, she shivered.
The team walked into the portal and vanished.
"It so creepy when they talk in Unison."
When they appeared again, they were hundred miles away from their old location, it was Las Unicornia Air Defense Base. They were in the bases underground bunker, in the portal Entrance. The walls were dirt and unclean, after all it was almost uninhabited, only a few ponies actually lived here, but it was by far the most valuable locations.
They walked down the dirt halls, their armored hooved causing the steel to creek, They walked like a unit but without the unity. They reached the stairway to exit the bunker an started to climb. When they exited the bunker they entered a room that was cleaner but also more worn. The paint was peeling off but the floor was cleaned by soap, there in the room was a single Bat Pony Mare, Midnight Black, Dark green mane and blue slitted eyes. She was Midnight Blade, Naruto's personal Assassin, also one of the few ponies who gained a crush for Naruto. She was the Co-pilot for the Dancer, where she will learn how to pilot it. 1
"Yo!" She cheerily yelled, "How are my favorite group today?" Sipho giggled Jar-nee smiled, and Naraka smirked.
"Good, so what is happening to the Dancer?"
Midnight Blade frowned suddenly, "It is under constant repair, unlike the other AC-130, she seems to be sick." Other words she is under constant repairs and had to grounded.
Zephyr groaned, "Midnight, this is not pre-war she has not even gotten off the ground in nearly 200 years." He thought for a moment, "An the Other AC-130 are likely nothing more than hunks of metal now, she is the only AC-130 to survive the bombing because she was placed inside a underground hangar and kept under constant Robotic care for that time."
Midnights pupils shrank slightly, "S-sorry, none of us are used to the fact it is 200 years. It felt like yesterday when I was talking to mom about joining the army, sorry."
"Its fine, we understand, always remember you are not the only one feeling this." Midnight nodded. "Well let us go see Dancer."
"Yeah!" She jumped up and rushed out the door.
Zephyr blinked under the helmet, "Uhh."
Lo-mi smirked, "Lets get going." Zephyr nodded and followed the team. It did not take long to arrive outside. The Bright sun was powerful and they could see the heatwaves in the air, They were near Las Unicornia, which was currently inhabited entirely by Slavers.
They arrived to a huge quad-propeller double decked plane it was 93 feet long 133 foot wingspan. They could see huge 105mm cannon on the side, it was bigger then their heads.
They could the see the ponies run around the plane doing the preflight check, one of the Technicians saw them and ran over. He looked to the Power Armored Ponies, "We are sorry to say this but you cannot wear that armor with you, atleast while you ride, it can be placed in storage."
Zephyr scowled under his helmet, his face had not been seen by anyponies he wanted it to stay that way. "I will remain in my armor, but the rest of you will have to take it off, I will never take my armor off."
The Technician was about to speak but was cut off, "Just let it go, he is one of the only ponies who never remove that armor, most have to take it off to eat. He never has."
Zephyr nodded, He has never ate or drank in public. "Now let us go."
The Technician nodded and allowed them to pass. Lo-mi and La-ma entered the plane and removed their armor and weapons. Lo-mi would not need it for a while, she would stay aboard the Dancer,
When Zephyr reached the main part of the planet he noticed how it looked, it was rebuilt and clean. There was also beds in the Crew quarters of the plane, enough beds for all 7 of them, well 8 beds, in 4 rooms. He noticed how the Crew quarters was near the nose of the plane while the Military quarters was near the back. The 25mm gatling gun was right after the crew quarters 3 feet from it, the 30mm cannon was besides that, and finally the 105mm cannon was right before the wing. This gave the room plenty of room for Cargo which had a small three person rover, and ammo for all the weapons on board.
It was quite cramped in the back but it was roomy in the front rooms. This plane would not stop until it either ran of ammo or damaged.
Boarding the plane they exhaled, their mission was about to start, Zephyr was stuck in the Cargo bay of the plane.
Naraka looked at the Control panels, she groaned, this would be difficult.
Jar-nee went to the Reactor level, the top floor, there was 20 Balefire reactors, each one only weighed 100 pounds, but together they weighted 2thousand pounds or 1 ton. This bade the plane an extra ton, they had to create more effective Props for the plane to even get it to flying speed, but in doing so it caused the reactors to work less. The Plane was able to hold more for less energy.
Now the plane was the most effective plane in the Akatsuki, though it took a little time to get it perfect.
Naraka sat in the seat and started to use the Startup procedure, she could hear the engine hum, soon that hum turned to a roar. It was the sound of the engine starting, It was a Hybrid Prop/Jet engine, it had a Jet engine for high altitude and Prop for close air support. The Plane lurched forward, most ponies onboard were not suspecting that, so some fell over. The Plane's wheels started to roll, the old worn brakes screeched slightly before all the new oil unlocked them, the plane started to roll with little issue.
The Ponies all cheered at the sight of the giant moving again, maybe now they can get to building new ones.
The plane rolled down the Taxi ways, it needed to be at the runway for take off. It took 15 minutes for the giant to reach the entrance to the Runway, Naraka turned towards the Runway and smiled. She grabbed the Radio for the plane and smiled, "081A. Prepared for take off, Give parameters?"
Tower's voice entered her Headset, "This is Tower, Confirm, Runway is rebuilt and clean, Take off. Parameters are fair, weather and wind is negligible, Weapons hot?"
"Roger, Weapons are hot and ready to fir Tower, Zebrica will have no idea what hit them!" She smirked.
"Good, See you 081A"
She deactivated the radio and pushed the throttle to max, The Plane lurched again and soon it was zipping down the runway.
Midnight blade walked in looking outside with a pout, "But I wanted to see how to take off."
"You are about to see. V1!" She then used the hoof gripped wheel and pulled back as gentle as possible, the plane's front tire lifted off the ground, before long the entire plane was off the ground and flying proudly in the air.
She was flying smoothly, no issues were detected in the flight controls, now it was all about getting out from under the Enclaves eyes.
Though it would take some time. 120mph was quite slow for this plane, it was only using prop engine and not its jet engine.
