Fallout Equestria: End of Peace

Sitting in my cell I lost track of time as the sound of multiple ponies walking along the cell's fill the air till they stopped in front of my cell.

One of the ponies looking me down was Graymane with the giant power armor pony as well as a few raiders.

“What is this?” Graymane asked, holding the medical magazine I had with me.

“A medical magazine, what about it?” I said as I got up.

He looked at it then to me and said “You're no medic, why do you have it?”

“Oh becau-'' I was saying before I stopped to avoid giving him any insight on the fortress or any of its defenders.

He chuckled as he walked side to side in front of my cell and said “Smart noticed I was fishing for info but I will get what I want out of you.”

I kept my eyes on him and asked “how are you planning to do that?”

He stayed silent looking at me. I could feel him studding me carefully then he spoke saying “I could let my raiders try torturing you till you speak but most research shows any pony will tell you anything if it will get the pain to stop.”

I refused to speak not knowing where he was going with this.

He chuckled then said “your friend had with you holding my raiders back. Maybe they will speak if they wake up but then again I feel lack of medical care will cause them to die before they wake up.”

Wait they got Zonk impossible or is it they did not foresee their hoof prints so they could have been captured.

“Or maybe the mare you tried to save that we managed to cut off from the fortress. Might let my raiders torture her after we finish putting a foal in her. Who knows maybe we break her will and make her join us through combo of drugs and raping till she breaks,” He said with a huge smile on his face he was enjoying coming up with his twisted ideas of his.

“Treat Zonk for their injuries and do not touch Frosty. You can torture me for info like you said your self in the end somepony will say anything to make the pain stop!” I yell out running to my bars trying to reach for him.

My hoof got grabbed by a power armor pony and they started bending my hoof. I felt my bones slowly starting to break.

Graymane said “So Zonk and Frosty are their names. See how easy it is to get info out of a pony without torturing them. In the end i do not care for info on the fortress i already know i will win and second Armor let his hoof go he needs all four for the arena.”

The one he called armor let my hoof go so I pulled it back in as Graymane than said “you've been tested my child your next trial is soon.” as he turned and walked away with every pony leaving me alone in my cell.

I sat down and took time to think mostly if Frosty managed to report back to the fortress and if Zonk got out of all that alive or not.

Sounds of a stallion moaning and a mare crying echo through the cells. They are a hard reminder that these raiders are nothing more than animals like my drill sergeant told us.

A raider mare in leather armor stopped at my cell looking at me then said “this one i want him lay him on his back and drug him up so he is nice and hard.”

One raider stallion in junk armor was about to open the cell but stopped when he noticed my uniform then told her “We cannot Graymane say the ARA pony is not to be touched till he wins or loses in the arena.”

The raider mare stomp her hoofs angrily then said “He is the one i be fighting in the arena today well i guest i can publicly fuck him then. A good display of power and dominance.”

Before they could leave I asked them “What are the rules for the arena you all yap about?”

Mare turned happily and said “In the Arena there are three rounds for prisoner types like you that often do not go well for you. Rule one prisoners go in with armor they had when captured hence why you're still dressed. Rule two any raider can pledge a weapon to you or not to spice up the fight or to another raider so you are going in unarmed no one has helped an ARA prisoner. Last rule winner can ask for anything if they down or kill the pony in the arena; this one is shared between raider and prisoner.”

I was shocked how much she shared so willingly so I asked “why help me with rules so easily?”

She chuckled then said “Because knowing the rules have changed nothing. You will only have your armor and nothing else so I will put you down and ride you in front of the crowd as a piece of meat,” she started laughing and snorting on her way out of the prison area.

I sat down thinking what I can do to get somepony give me a weapon so I do not go into these fights without any way to fight back. I was not the best at CQC but gun play is what I am best at.

“ARA pony fight time” a raider pony said before tossing me jerky and then saying “You cannot die on an empty stomach.”

I started eating as he kept an eye on me. The moment I was done he opened my cell and waved me out.

“Not scared I will attack you and make a break for it?” I asked.

He looked at me then said “You in the heart of the encampment moment you try you will be found and killed now fallow.”

I followed him as he led me to the arena with a crowd of raider ponies cheering and booing at my arrival as a familiar voice speaked “We got an amazing display today not seen since the ponyville slaughter. an ARA pony!”

The crowd boo and cheer at me louder as the pony speaking walks out.

It was Heavy Metal this fucker again he then said “he needs to live through three rounds but he not going to last one so who is going first,” he pulled out a list then shouted “Night Haven!”

As a bat pony mare laned in the arena dressed in spiked leather armor equipped with spiked hoofs. Their black fur was as black as the night sky itself and her mane matched it as well.

“Now let us fig-” Heavy Metal said before being cut off by Graymane.

Graymane asked while sitting on a makeshift throne clearly built by his raiders “Ranged or melee?”

The Crowd went silent as Night Haven said “I am good.”

Graymane repeated his question while looking right at me “Ranged or melee?”

“Ranged?” I said with a bit of confusion.

Armor walked out to the arena and gave me a revolver with six shots and no ammo to reload it before they walked away.

The Crowd started talking to each other loudly, clearly as confused as I was before Graymane stood up and said “Do you all undermine my teachings? Have I not taught you all we are better than them? Have I not proven the strong should dominate the weak? We trust ARA are weak and we are strong so making the fight a bit more fair because in the end the strongest will win and our goal will be achieved every way.”

The crowd changed from confusion to joy as they cheered as Night Heaven stood on her hind hooves soaking in the crowd watching as Heavy Metal got clear then yelled “FIGHT!”

I quickly pull out the revolver and fire two shots at them as she dodge both shots, closing the gap fast.

She hit me so hard I was sent flying back. Landing on my back before I could regain my focus I was kicked hard in the ribs with Night Haven saying “oh come on lets have some fun hit me back ARA pony!”

I had four shots left and she was very fast but all I needed was to remove the threat but I had no clue how to just get her to stop fighting or kill her.

As she kept kicking me over and over I had an idea if she was fast and able to dodge every shot at range. There was one way to make sure my shot would hit but I needed the right moment.

“I don’t want you and I do not want to disappoint the crowd so I guess I'll finish this if you're not going to fight back,” Night Haven said before lifting both her front hoofs readying to bring them down onto me.

Moment those hoofs got as high as they could, I leapt up, tackling her to wrestle her to the ground. I tried to copy the hold that Frosty used on the raider back on our scouting mission.

Night Haven moves to keep me from moving behind them with the hold by slamming a hoof on my head over and over.

Blood started filling my vision. It felt like being hit by a bag of breaks over and over. I felt myself losing my grip before she tapped out?

Night Haven yelled “I surrender,” I let go but the moment I let go she took flight and came back down aiming for me.

I rolled out as she landed getting a spiked hoof stuck in the ground.

I took aim and shot at her twice but she let go of one of the spiked hoofs to dodge the shots.

“Mother fucker you try to shoot me while i was stuck!” Night Haven yells at me.

I looked at her then yelled back “You faked surrender you don’t have any space to bitch about it.”

She launched herself at me. I was about to dodge her attack but I noticed some pony in the audience was flashing something in her eyes blinding her so I took my chance.

I shot my fifth shot hitting a wing and causing her to hit the ground face first, giving me a chance to get on top of her from behind and press my gun to the back of her skull.

“Surrender now!” I yelled at her fully ready to shoot her if she said no. Know what maybe I will even if she does..

Night Haven growled at me then said “I am yours to do with I surrender!” loud enough for every pony to hear.

Heavy Metal stood there acting as if he did not hear her surrender but Armor put a single hoof on his back and pushed him down causing him to lift his mic and say “ARA pony wins now Armor for love of Graymane stop it that hurts like being fucked with a cactus!.”

Graymane stood up “Pick her fate!”

I look confused as Night Haven said “going fuck me publicly or what?”

Not going to lie the idea of raping a raider did sound ironic and a good way to let out some stress but i shook my head then said “Any other choices?”

Graymane then said “Feeling very merciful hu well you can do nothing or anything honestly she is not stronger than you so she has no say till tomorrow. She has to do whatever you say”

Like that I knew what to do “Help me fight,” I said as I got off her.

Night Haven got up dusting herself off and then got her spike hoof back then she said “I will by glory of Graymane i will but first we heal.”

We both walked to the exit of the arena to get patched up as Heavy Metal said “You cannot have somepony help you in a fight or get medical treatment, all prisoners have to keep going till they die!”

Night Haven turned to him then said “I am a raider and I am working for him till the next day you tell me where it says a ‘raider group’ is not allowed to heal between rounds?”

Heavy Metal stomped his hoof then yelled “He is a prisoner not a raider s-” but was cut off by Armor stomping their hoof and pointing at Graymane glaring at him.

Heavy metal went silent and bowed to him as we walked out of the arena.

Walking to the medical room that was covered in a bit more blood than I am used to as well as a severed hoof on the floor for some reason.

Night Haven said “Sit down wherever I am getting a medical kit if somepony hasn't used it.”

I found a bench not covered in blood to sit down on as Night Haven started treating my head injury with surprising good medical skills for a raider.

“How do you know how to do all this?” I asked.

As she kept treating me she said “In raider life health care varies. Like for example a ‘doctor’ treating me for withdrawal and then stole one of my kidneys so you know. Learning how to treat your own injuries or you have to roll the dice.”

I stayed silent as she stopped and started treating herself next, pulling out a lighter and burning her bullet hole on her wing close.

“ARA has a raider work program to work off your crimes you could join it and become a doctor in our civilization.” I said to her,

She pulled out one of her spike hooves from the side of her armor and started sharpening, then said as she worked “working to death does not sound fun to me.”

I was confused by what she said to me. The ARA work program has let out many ponies who used to be raiders back into civilization and so on.

Before I could ask Night Haven why but they beat me to the punch and asked me “Need ammo?”

I nodded yes as she checked bodies of a few dead raiders in the medical room forcing me to ask “Do you not feel bad looting your own?”

She looked at me and simply shrugged then kept on looting till she found a few revolver rounds.

She tossed me the rounds and I loaded my revolver in time for a raider to come in and say “Your next fight is ready to go. I hope you're both ready to die. Heavy Metal picked the next one himself.”

We both followed the raider back to the arena with Heavy Metal in middle hyping up the crowd with the two ponies who threaten to rape me from before.

Heavy Metal looked at me and said to the crowd “Time for one hell of a showdown ARA pony vs Hammerfall!”

The moment he said that the two ponies look confused as a pony in full heavy armor covering them from head to tail hiding all notable parts walked into the arena with a power hammer floating in there magic.

The raider mare walked up to Heavy Metal and said “Not fair not fair and not fair we are one who supposed fight not a chosen one!”

Heavy metal chuckled and said “Funny fact about that,” right before her head got sent flying off by Hammerfall hitting her with his power hammer with the crowd cheering.

“Hey what is this a fucken chosen!?” Night Haven yells out in confusion but I did not need to ask.

This pony is called a chosen and looks similar to the ponies from the fire fight me and zonk had from the mountain path.

“So I assume this is bad right?” I asked Night Haven while aiming my revolver trying to find a weak point to shoot.

Night Haven looked at me then said “Yes Chosen raiders get the best loot and experimental drugs.”

The mare raider’s partner fled from the arena as Hammerfall walked to and stood where they both stood moments ago.

Heavy Metal seem be enjoying this as they were about to speak Graymane spoke up and said “Hammerfall you been challenged do you accepted.”

Hammerfall stomped their hoof and nodded, seeming to get worked up at what Graymane said.

Graymane waved his hoof as oil drums were thrown in the arena and said “Careful now oil has two ways to kill a pony.”

Heavy Metal got close to the arena exit and said “Watch where you aim and now FIGHT!” before fleeing out of the arena to safety.

Hammerfall started walking towards us with heavy hoof steps.

I shot two shots and they did nothing. Their armor was too thick to penetrate so I shot a third at an oil drum next to him causing it to explode but their armor held.

“We are doom…fuck i am not getting those bullets i loaned to Cloudy,” Night Haven said with a look of despair forming on there face.

“No, we need to figure out a way to win, try getting his armor off. I need a weak point to do damage,” I ordered as I moved and tried to stay out of range of Hammerfall’s power hammer.

Night Haven took to the skies and kept dive bombing Hammerfall while trying to break off pieces of their armor without any luck.

Hammerfall keeps ignoring them as they keep walking at me slowly, swinging their hammer almost hitting me a few times as they keep saying over and over “one of us will be strong!”

I had no time to think of how odd he seemed to be as I was more focused on how to beat them.

First thing I noted was the fact they seem laser focused on me so much so Night Haven was largely ignored.

I shot my third shot into their helmet eye hole with the glass stopping the round and drawing no reaction.

Night Haven swooped down grabbing one his hooves and tripping him causing him to make a loud noise and the ground to shake. The shaking caused a few oil barrels around him to fall over spilling out their contents onto the ground..

she said as she landed next to me “we need to find a way to win this we cannot dodge him forever.”

I realized something that Graymane said earlier about oil having two ways to kill a pony. I said to Night Haven “Night Haven I will keep him distracted and you throw as many oil barrels at him as possible.”

Hammerfall got up slowly and carefully and returned to hyperfocus me as I moved back slowly making sure I had line of sight of him till everything was ready.

Night Haven grabbed a barrel and slammed it into them causing them to stagger and covering them in oil.

Everything was going as I thought it would. He is ignoring her and focusing on trying to turn my head into a red sludge as he keeps swinging at me throughout this entire thing.

Still I dodge as swing and by doing so got his hammer jammed into an oil barrel splashing its contents everywhere so I took the chance I shot it.

But timing could not be worse because when i shot it causing it to explode and lighting him on fire Night Haven and I both got caught in the blast.

When I got up the arena was on fire with Hammerfall swinging his hammer in a panic screaming “One of us will be strong One of us will be strong One of us will be strong YOU ARE STRONG!” before he dropped to the ground.

I started looking around the burning arena and I noticed Night Haven on the ground not moving while being surrounded by fire.

Then I saw a way out for myself. I could make it to the exit among the chaos and maybe escape the encampment and stop fighting these arena battles.

I was about to run for it but remember Night Haven was out cold and would likely die in the fire if somepony did nothing but maybe one of the raiders will help her…ya fucking right.

I ran through the fire as fast as possible to avoid getting burned badly by the flames and dragged her out to safety as the fire started to burn me.

Air started to get hard to breathe from the smoke and my vision started going blurry as I managed to get me and her to safety before I passed outside the arena.

Before I slipped into unconsciousness I heard Graymane say “Let this be proof that ARA only brings destruction to paradise and only care about those who are useful to them.”
