Fallout Equestria: End of Peace

I woke up the next day and a sense of dread filled the air you could just feel it in the air.

Getting out of bed I adjusted my armor and saw the empty medical wing, making me wonder where all the injured had gone.

I exited the medical wing and saw injured ponies being loaded onto trucks from the fortress medical wing as Winterboots stood there with concern on his face as plain as day.

“Hey, what's going on?” I asked walking up next to Winterboots.

“We are sending all ponies to injured to fight to Canterlot,” he said confusing me as to why he was still concerned.

Zonk walked to join us and said, “Because I have foreseen the medical transports will be destroyed if he does not go with them with an escort.”

Winterboots stomped his hoof and said, “Not leaving the Fortress I know if I leave they will sense the weakness and attack we just need to hold for a week, and Judgement is going to send six of her Judges.”

Zonk sighed and said, “Yes when you leave any pony here will die but.”

Winterboots puts his hoof up and cuts Zonk off before saying “We have a chance of them going alone and you being wrong for once. I cannot leave ponies here to die as I go to Canterlot,” then he walks away to the fortress wall.

Zonk waited a few minutes till Winterboots was gone and said “You need to get him to leave we both know I am not wrong and I am playing a bigger game here.”

I knew there was no saying no here so I nodded and headed up to the wall to talk to Winterboots.

Reaching the top of the wall I saw him watching where raiders build their encampment. He said, "My grandfather, my dad, and younger me were there when Graymane was last seen.”

I walked over to join him as he watched over an empty battlefield and asked, "A hundred years ago you were fighting?”

He laughed then said “No I said last time he was seen every pony knows about his loss at Ponyvill before raider groups started their decay but a few years after, back when I was ten he was cornered in a place called Foggy Bay. He killed so many ponies even tho he was out number seven to one because of that odd magic.”

I wonder about the magic he was talking about. It might explain how he could land shots through the smoke cloud but before I wonder more Winterboots keeps telling his story “he was landing shots no pony should of as if he had the spell S.A.T.S. on speed dial. That is the Stable-Tech Arcane Targeting Spell, but back to the point is that I ran that day and my team, my family, and all settlements around Foggy Bay paid for it.”

His face shifted to a face of sadness and worry, and then he said “If I go there will be more blood on my hoofs again and it may cost me, my daughter, all she wants is to stay and fight here,” He slowly pulled out a smoke and light it up and tried to relax.

“So if Frosty leaves will you?” I asked.

He shook his head no and said: “I know the threat Graymane is even before this cult…maybe he is immortal and what I am doing is pointless but.”

I cut him off by yelling “But nothing! Ponies look to you for leadership and your sister is Judgement, right? Well maybe if you retreat you can use some of your political connections with her to help her push to bring the hammer down on this problem,” I was speaking out of line but fuck it at this point.

He stood there looking at me in silence with anger but he shifted to sadness and said “Frosty needs to leave as well and half what is left of the defenders meaning this place can't hold and any pony here will die.”

“Deal,” I said before following with “I am willing to die here with any pony you can agree to stay here. But I want you to take Nighthaven.”

He nodded before going and leaving me to find and talk to Frosty.

I headed off to check for Frosty in her watch post. I was shocked that it was still standing considering how badly damaged the walls were but lucky us.

I climbed up there to talk to her, saw her lying down, scoped in her rifle’s scope, and said: “What you need Rook?”

“You need to leave,” I said as I sat down next to her she remained silent making me say “If you don’t your dad will not leave,” again she remained quiet and I spoke again “Do you not care?”

“Drop it now,” Frosty said as she looked down her rifle taking a shot at raiders who are trying to do some type of sabotage.

I do not want to play a type of card right now but I need to get her to leave so I looked and saw she was bleeding through her bandages meaning she reopened her injuries. “You are pushing yourself too hard and your body is too hurt keep up all of this. just go with the other injured ponies,” I said.

“I can keep going,” she said firing another shot.

“And what when your body finally breaks down force your dad to watch you get raped and bred by those fucking raiders again!?” I yelled at her provoking a response and that response was a punch to the face as she pinned me and hit me over and over again as tears rolled down her face.

All I could do was shout “Face it I am correct and you cannot hide it at all. Your hoof swings feel weak and you need therapy to heal mentally. all you are doing setting yourself up to be captured abused and bred like a toy for those raiders.”

“Shut up!” She shouted before readying to bring down both hoofs giving me an opening to head butt her and pin her now.

She started panicking and was having a panic attack set in so I got off and said “Did I make my point? you're not mentally stable and your body isn’t at peak condition If you stay you will slow the others down and only get yourself captured by those animals.”

She refused to look me in the eyes as she fixed her bandages and said “You win…I will go and get the mental help I need…do me a favor if you see them taking any mares kill them so they do not have to go through what they have been doing to all mares they have been taking alive.”

I nodded as she grabbed her gun and headed off to tell her father. but now how to get Night Haven to leave I'm going to need to ask some pony for help.

I started looking for Zonk for help or should I say I was till they popped out from a corner saying “Need help with Night Haven correct?”

They made me jump back out of fear and say “Ya got any ideas…stupid question you already got one.”

Zonk nodded and gave me a sleep chem mix in an injector. I am sure Zonk is planning for me to drug her.

“Ok so I get the idea but how are we going get her like that and is that enough to knock her out till it's all over?” I asked looking over the injector.

Zonk said “Talk to her tonight one-on-one and you will get the opening you need. Lucky for us, all injured will be leaving tomorrow so no rush. She out patrolling now with some flyers and helping to sabotage Graymane’s raiders so you got time why don't you go get some food and I will send her to you.”

I had an odd feeling Zonk was setting me up for something but I could use some food and grab some for Night Haven she will be hungry when she gets back.

I grab some food for Me and Night Haven before noticing the sun going down.

It dawned on me I never told Zonk where I would be but knowing them they already know…but I wish I knew exactly how they do it because of how they said it running the odds.

I set up a place for Me and Night Haven to talk in a semi-empty storage room in the fortress's lower levels.

“Hey, you want to talk to me one on one?” Voice of Night Haven said as I turned to look at her.

She was outside her raider armor balled up in her hoofs. I'm not going to lie for a raider she looks majestic outside her armor. “Good you're here let eat and talk about you,” I said gesturing to a makeshift table I made out of boxes.

We both sat down as Night Haven mended her armor and said “You know I was loyal to Graymane and my family before you. I would die for Graymane because that was what my family always told me was the right thing to do in life.”

I wondered where she was going with this as she kept saying, “But you show me kindness something I did not expect from a pony from ARA…it got me questioning what Graymane and the others I’ve been telling me for years.”

“It sounds like he tried to,” I said before she held up a hoof to stop me from talking.

“When word of Graymane being shot by you and me I tried to convince my family we did not do it at first I thought it was a misunderstanding but now I know Graymane lied to spark a rage fuel response from all raiders he got,” she said as she finishes mending her armor and started eating.

I was about to speak but she cut me off again saying “I thought of Raping you considering how good-looking you are and how kind you've been but not because your weak like all others I've been with.”

"Is there a point to this, besides making me feel like I'm about to be raped by a friend?" I asked, feeling a bit worried.

"I think I am in love with you," she said, grabbing me and locking me in a kiss. As she removed my gear and equipment, a rush of excitement ran through my body. Before I could finish thinking about it, we were wrapped up in each other's loving embrace, spending the night together.

We spent all night making love making me forget why we had this meeting in the first place. She made me forget the stress of tomorrow i only wish we could make this moment last forever.

When it was over we lay together in each other hoofs and I could not help but ask her something.

“Be honest if you were not a raider what would you love to be?” I asked as we lay together.

She smiled and then said “A doctor I think I told you that before.” she went silent for a moment before saying “If balefire bombs had never destroyed our world maybe I might have become a Doctor but I need to ask if you were not an ARA pony what would you like to be?”

she asked the world's easiest question to meand I replied "A farmer again like my dad.”

She laughed for a bit but stopped when she realized I was not joking “Oh a farmer? Then why are you in ARA then?” she said with confusion.

“Got serve ten years in the ARA at any age and if do so you without being too much trouble you get a bit of land near Canterlot of your choice…a farm outside of Canterlot,” I said before falling asleep with her in my hoofs.

Before I drifted asleep, she said, “Maybe I set up my clinic next to your farm one day.”

I found myself in another fucking dream about me and my dad.

He was sitting by a tree fiddling with Soulreaper but something felt off I had no memory about this.

“Son we need to talk,” my father said as he kept working on the revolver.

I walked over and sat down as we watched our home burn i never talked to my dad after I ran from the battle or ever saw him with Soulreaper.

My father spat up some blood and loaded his revolver then said “I was not honest with you or your mother I was once King of the Chest Raiders or checkmate raiders it's hard to think. I used to be his rival in a power struggle over raiders at the time.”

He injected himself with Med-x as I asked him “How am I remembering this?”

He ignored me and then said “Soulreaper feeds on souls but leaves behind echoes of souls I know all rules by heart so if I am correct when I do this next step all my messages will reach you as the gun makes its way to you because i will it…You likely saved multiple settlements by running away and saving non-combat ponies we sent with you.”

Wait is this going where I think it is please do not make me watch this.

“Graymane will die and you will play a part in it. So till we meet again,” he said before he shot himself and I woke up the next morning next to Night Haven.
