Fallout Equestria: End of Peace
Chapter 10: The reaper calling pt 2
Previous ChapterI woke up to the sound of fighting outside the motor pool so I quickly realized that raiders had launched their attack.
I quickly got up, ran behind the Power Armor, and opened it.
I took a deep breath before jumping inside followed by it sealing itself i will not lie it felt claustrophobic but I needed to focus on getting out there.
I took one step with a powerful stomp leaving a crack in the floor showing how much stronger I was now in this suit or at least heavier.
I slowly made my way out with each heavy hoof step as I got used to the armor while my magic hooked up all the weapons I would need one minigun, one assault rifle, and The Reaper.
I slowly got used to the power armor and charged through the door into the courtyard of the Fortress and what I saw made me realize how bad things are and Heavy Metal was not lying about us being encircled.
Raiders controlled both walls with Sturdy and two others were hunkering down in the Armory.
I turned and fired at the south wall with the minigun on my power armor killing a good chunk of raiders.
They quickly realized what was happening on the northern wall and fired down at me from the wall.
It seems the majority of them on the northern wall were their meatshield raiders who had gone psycho and or on so many drugs they did not care if they lived or died.
Their meat shields were lower-tier raiders, so their weapons were unkempt rusty, and weak firepower, causing their gun rounds to bounce off my power armor.
I turned and opened fire at them as I made my way to the north wall tanking every shot they fired at me.
I made my way up the northern wall clearing them out as Sturdy and the last two defenders followed behind giving me supporting fire.
“Ok Rook what the play here?” Sturdy asked me after we had a moment of peace.
I replied, "Find and kill Heavy metal as you and the last two defenders flee from here.”
Sturdy said “There a fairly good chance we can all make it out of here alive an-” but he was cut off by an explosive round hitting me causing me to stagger.
I shouted, “No time to argue go now I am going do what Plow would and hope it works out.”
Sturdy looked at me, ran to the south wall, and said “I am not leaving but I will get these two out of here at least and come back to help you kill Heavy Metal,” before running off with the last two defenders.
A group of raiders ran into the fortress from holes in the wall, making me charge in the back of their formation, killing him in the impact as if I were a train.
They turned around and opened fire at me as I unloaded my minigun into them killing them fast and effectively.
More rounds bounced off my power armor as I kept walking and firing.
I turned to face the hole in the wall only to see a truck come right for me blasting loud music.
The impact sent me flying back and destroyed the front of the truck as Heavy Metal jumped on top of the Raider truck and shouted “Your head will be a great tribute for Graymane.”
I was on the ground and started to get up but my power armor made the process slower and harder as Heavy Metal kept monologuing “I know Graymane is still alive because you cannot kill our Prophet our masaya no our god!”
I manage to get up as he jumps down from the truck as raiders run out from behind the raider truck firing at me.
My power armor soaked a few rounds till one got through the armor on my back left hoof causing me to flinch but not taking me out of the fight as my power armor auto injected me with something to shut down the pain.
I return fire with my minigun as they shield Heavy Metal with a magic shield.
When the minigun ammo ran out I swapped to my assault rifle and started using that to fight.
Heavy Metal laughs at all this even tho he was losing ponies left and right to him even with me close to him this was a game to him.
A group of three Chosen opened fire at me with explosive rounds from the side causing me to stagger but I quickly recovered and opened fire at the Chosen.
My assault rifle rounds hit their armor bouncing and a few going through dropping one of them and causing a second one to rush at me and try to knock me down giving me a chance to unload a few into the back of their neck as he tried to push me over.
The third pulled out a grenade launcher and was ready to fire it so I dropped my rifle grabbed the dead chosen in front of me and tossed them at the last one as he fired blowing himself up in the process.
Heavy Metal tackled me and flipped me on my back pinning me in my power armor.
His unnatural strength caught me off guard, and I went from standing up on all fours to lying on my back.
Heavy Metal got on top of me and started punching me over and over with his two hoofs as he yelled “Come on you kill a good chunk of my raiders cannot be this easy to beat your ass!”
I attempted to get up and headbutted him but it did not phase him at all.
He returned my headbutt with his headbutt knocking my head back down before saying “Not going be that easy,” as he returned to punching my helmet causing it to start to dent.
His hoofs started to bleed but the damage he was doing to himself made it clear he was a zealot and no amount of pain would stand in his way for vengeance.
I was not taking any real damage yet but my helmet cannot hold forever under this assault of blows so I needed to think.
Then I realized he was reckless all I had to do was wait for a moment where he would leave himself open.
I did not have to wait too long as he razed both his front hoofs up and I bolted up and headbutted him in the chest sending him back onto the ground I grabbed my rifle and open-fired.
I won he has no way out, especially at this range all these rounds will punch through his armor at least that's how it should have ended for Heavy Metal.
Armor rushes out of nowhere in front of Heavy Metal tanking all the shots and looks down at me as Heavy Metal says “The prophets right hoof you here that means he alive like I said he was my faith has been rewarded!”
Armor remained silent as I raised my rifle and fired more rounds only for them to move with incredible speed grab it from me in their hoof and hit me in the head with it breaking the gun into pieces.
Armor pulled out from a bag hanging from their side the head of Sturdy Hoofs, tossed it in front of me, spoke with a robotic voice, and said “You think there was any hope of escape from the slaughterhouse?”
I swung a hoof at them and they caught it but my magic pulled out The Reaper to attempt to shoot them with it.
As I pulled the trigger with it right up to their helmet a shot rang out hitting The Reaper out of my magic sending it flying.
I looked at who shot it and to no surprise, it was Graymane as he laughed at me.
Heavy Metal cheered as a group of raiders started to crowd around Me and Armor as if we were a show, and then Graymane said “Break him.”
Armor shot me through my armor with an assault rifle hooked up to their side before punching me in the side head breaking my visor in my helmet.
I staggered back as I recovered I was met with a second punch breaking my helmet off.
I felt a warmth of liquid run down my head meaning one thing I got a head injury and I need a health potion.
Armor grabbed me by the neck, grabbed my hoof, and started to pull ripping my hoof off and tossing me aside like they did to Plow but they were not done with me not in the slightest.
Graymane laughed as Armor kept ripping off one hoof after the other then ended it all by breaking my horn off.
Graymane spoke “Do not let him die yet,” causing Armor to burn my injuries close with a torch given to them by a Chosen.
Whatever pain-killing drug the power armor injected with me was starting to fade because I felt the burning feeling of having my injuries burned closed.
Graymane walked over and then with joy in his voice ordered “Sit him up,” Armor picked me up and sat me up to look Graymane eye to eye.
He looked me over and then said “You know. With your skill, you could make a great Chosen.”
I got ready to spit on him but my jaw got crushed by Armor as Graymane said “Oh well looks like you die here today.”
Graymane pulled out a black crystal from under his leather armor chest piece.
The black crystal glowed with a dark light as I felt myself fading away ever from the crystal or all the damage my body had taken.
I passed out as I lost myself to the darkness closing in around me. The last thing I heard was Graymane saying “Now somepony find me that Sleep Walker i need her to find other crystals.”
Then I was gone.
