Chapters Fallout Equestria: Reborn
Itachi's only good Sharingan eye stares into Sasuke's dual Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan eyes, "Brother, remember I will love you always." He closed his eyes as his soul left the mortal plain into the afterlife, fully expecting to suffer in hell for eternity. Only he found himself in a different place, it was white and peaceful.
Itachi looked around and frowned, "Where am I, Is this heaven?"
A booming voice shakes the area around him, "Yes, this is heaven, but you're not staying here."
Itachi's eyes narrowed, "Why not, do you not think I have suffered enough?"
"You have suffered more than most can handle and stay sane, but your past would prevent me from sending you to Heaven, you would be sent to the lowest level of hell. So would your brother, but I am giving you a chance to save both his and your soul."
"Why should I, I have had the same situation happen before, safe my brother but damn my family!
"Expect that's not what I want, I want you to go to a new world, become the older sister of a future hero and help her and this mare." A picture appeared out of nowhere to show a picture of a white unicorn mare with a black and red mane and tail.
Itachi was confused, "Horses occupy this world-"
"Ponies"
"Ponies, why do you need my help?"
"Because their world had a little mistake I made that needs to be destroyed, Soul Eater, you are one of the only beings capable of destroying it without using my power, but I will be giving you all your Ninja abilities. I will even be adding some, like all the Kekkai Genkai because you will honestly need them, and I have unlocked your eyes Eternal Mangekyou by Shisui's eyes. Along with a few presents." The voice said the last part so quite that Itachi couldn't hear it.
"So... I won't go blind?"
"Nope, just know though, these beings don't have special powers they only have Magic, something you will also have. Goodbye, Ebony Blade."
Itachi opened his eyes and winced when a flood of new memories slammed into his mind, 'I... I have a family again, and ... my mother is a useless drunk.' That actually disappointed Itachi, he noticed his body was a Pony, and he had memories of how to walk, talk, use magic, his powers, and his Dojustu. He rolled out of bed and stood on his legs, they shook a little but otherwise fine. His little sister barged into his room with a wide smile, "Big Brother, Big Brother!" Little Pip, he remembered. He smiled happy to have a family again. She was likely 12 just like he was,
"Yes, Pip?" She scrunched up her snout and pouted, he giggled. He hadn't laughed in a long time, but what he saw in Little Pip was a little sister.
"Big Bro, we have to go to the school, it's time to find out our future jobs!" Itachi, sorry Ebony Blade sighed and followed his little sister. "You are likely going to become a Guard for the Overmare, you are by far the most intelligent colts in our school year. You are also the most skilled in combat and even beat some of the guards in one v two combat, the Overmare watched and was very impressed with your skills!"
Ebony sighed again, "Yeah I know, I just wanna stay with you, we never abandon each other."
"Did you learn anything from that old suit of Power armor, you know the one we found in the Apple orchard?"
"Nope, honestly I'm confused as to why it is there."
"It was a construction model, a prototype sent to Stable-tec I think, at least that's what the manual said."
Ebony nodded his head, "Yeah It did, I just doubt it, that suit is old and very worn down. Though one thing I noticed was it was written by Ministry Mare Applejack, like hoofwritten!"
Pip's eyes widened, "So Applejack actually wrote that?"
"It's the only conclusion I can come up with, I have got it mostly working, in fact, I actually have it within my room. Don't worry no one will ever find it, I'm better at hiding things than you are finding them!"
The two shared a laugh as they walked on to the school, this is where this memory ends.
It had been a few years since they got their jobs, Little Pip now worked as a Pip-buck technician, while Ebony Blade now worked as an Overmare's guard. Everything was normal until one day the Stable's music mare, Velvet Remedy, left the stable, it was later confirmed that Little Pip had her Pip-buck. Ebony Blade was mad, but not at his sister, at Remedy.
The next day Little Pip also left the stable and Ebony Blade had to make a choice, leave the stable and join his sister or stay and die alone. He chose to leave the stable, he grabbed the now 99% repaired set of Power armor and grabbed his service rifle, pistol, baton, shotgun, and personal sword. He stole resources from the Stables supplies and ran, he was later confirmed as missing, no one even knew he left until the next day.
Ebony ran out into the night sky and scowled, "Sister, why the fuck did you leave, I have to find you!" Ebonies eyes turned red with three black tomoe around his pupil, he scanned the terrain and spotted a suspicious group in the distance. He went prone and looked down his enhanced scope, he spotted a group of disgusting-looking stallions, three, and two other figures were chained together. 'Slavers' He pointed his crosshair at the skull of the ponies but stopped, one of the slaves was his sister, but he wanted to wait until the right moment came. He followed the slavers and kept his rifle always pointed at their heads, his Magic flickered in the night sky but his gun never wavered.
He heard them shoot and he almost pulled the trigger of his rifle but stopped when they started to curse, "Okay, so it's not a kill shot, likely a reaction shot."
He followed them and noticed them suddenly shift directions, "This is new." He muttered but kept behind the group. They soon stopped on the bridge of a large walled-off town, one of the stallions, who he rightly assumed was the leader. He talked to a new group and I heard something about payment when suddenly the head of a slaver stallion exploded the double-barrel shotgun wielder. Ebony launched his attack that very moment, His rifle boomed four times as all the nearby enemies collapsed to the ground in a pool of their own fresh blood, and he Shunshined next to his sister. He grabbed his sister and jumped to the ground as a fresh bullet passed where her head was. The Other stallion reacted just in time and jumped to the ground. Ebony spun his rifle around and opened fire in the direction of where the bullets came from.
When his gun clicked empty he reloaded, He reloaded so fast it was all a blur to the new stallion but Pip saw it just fine. Ebony's Sharingan eyes twitched slightly and he looked down the scope and found the Sniper stallion, but not wishing to kill him he shoot him in the left shoulder completely disabling him. Ebony then spun around and pointed his rifle at the stallion, "I don't trust you, you just leak hostility. Take their supplies and go." Ebony shot the chain holding the two together. The Stallion's eyes widened and he ran off with the double-barreled shotgun.
He grabbed the riot shotgun and handed it to Pip, and handed her a few hundred shotgun shells. "Sis, what is the bright idea, you should have at least taken me with you!"
Pip winced, "I didn't want you to leave your job, it was my mistake this happened."
"I wanted to leave that stable more than anyone Pip, but stayed because of you. Mother was an alcoholic, our friends only wanted me for my position, and the Overmare only wanted me because of my skill. You were the only reason I stayed, I would have left when I was 14, but you were there so I had a reason to stay. Now, sister, you know of my abilities right?"
Little Pip nodded, "Yeah, you can teleport, Clone, use those weird eye things, and even create different elements right?"
Ebony nodded, "Yep, I'm going to leave but keep a clone with you always. I trust you sister, and I want to see the mare you can become without your Big Brother looking over your shoulder all the time. I wanna do my own thing, I know you want to also. That's the real reason you left, Deep deep inside, you wanted adventure and excitement, right? It's not a bad thing Pip, I want it also, I don't wanna live underground for the rest of my life, but if the stable needs me I will always come back." Pip's eyes widened but she nodded, "Bye then sister, I will see you later." Ebony's horn ignited with red magic because his Sharingan was activated and created a Steel clone that just vanished. Ebony used his Shunshin to disappear also.
When Ebony appeared again he released his Sharingan allowing his eyes to turn back to bright green that contrasted perfectly with his ebony black coat and light brown mane and tail. He also released the illusion over his body, showing his Ebon black feathered wings, He became an alicorn at age 13 after he beat some bullies that attacked Pip. He started to glow, he realized something was going to happen, so he cast a Genjustu/Henge on himself to keep his true body hidden. Now that he was outside the stable he could show his form more often, he still used the Genjustu to make people think he looks like a normal Unicorn.
He was likely 20 or so miles from his sister, he wanted to head towards Manehattan, this God fellow gave him a list of important things on his Pip-buck. This was a Tank that was in pristine condition because of it being in an Air sealed containment room, it was a Stealth Tank Prototype, a dumb idea that actually worked. Ebony started to walk his way toward the location, "I gave my sister enough ammo to last her a few days, she will likely get a better shotgun, whatever. It's going to take a few hours to get there." He started to sprint using Chakra to amplify his natural strength and speed, he left a blur in his wake, while he didn't have any trees to climb, he still used Shishi's Shunshin technique to constantly be in Chakra speed Amp.
It didn't take long for him to arrive at Manehattan, some 100 or so miles away from stable 2, his speed had already passed the Sound barrier and he was likely in Mach 12. He stopped using Shunshin outside Manehattan and looked around, he then used an invisibility Jutsu to vanish from sight. "Target in sight." He blitzed around Manehattan using any surfaces to his advantage, jumping from building to building, he make his way across the city. He soon landed on an empty Parking Lot, that was in the middle of the city. "Made it." He walked to the Tollbooth that allowed cars to use the parking lot, he pushed the door open and used his magic to pull out his Service pistol. It was a Basic Suppressed 10mm, but he added things, an extended mag, and a 3-round-burst mode. The pistol he named, Crow, after his own Genjutsu that he had to relearn.
Inside the tollbooth was a small door on the floor that seemingly lead to a basement, Ebony grabbed the door with his magic and picked it up. Under the door was a long ladder that lead deep into the ground, Ebony didn't even wait, he just jumped down.
His eyes were almost instantly consumed with never-ending darkness until his hooves hit the ground hard. He pulled out his riot shotgun and activated the Flashlight mod on the side of the barrel, the world became illuminated with the bright light. Ebony looked around and smirked, "Found you." There in the center of his flashlight was a tarp-covered tank. Ebony instantly measured its size, 20 feet tall, 50 feet long, and 25 feet wide. It had 2 turrets in total one for the rear and one for the front, it also had 12 automatic weapons, with 4 on the front and back, and 4 on each side. The turret was made to be a Stealth Vehicle so it was covered in thick plating and used Stealth-bucks for its invisibility cloak.
It was made to be large enough for a whole crew to basically live inside, but it didn't even require a crew, It only needed one person. The Automatic turrets used Friend and Foe identifiers that the driver could operate, the turrets used standard 5.56 rounds but could be changed to use 50BMG, .308, .44, 9mm, and 7.62 rounds. The Cannons used large 120mm tank rounds but also could be changed to take almost every single Tank shell in Equestria. The Vehicle had about a hundred different interchangeable parts, and each one was stored inside the vehicle's storage bay.
It was a dream come true to find this, in truth, this was not a vehicle that would be here normally, all you would have found was an old rusted tank that was the basic model. God Changed this and placed this model here, it was one of his many gifts for Ebony. This tank was made by Equestria but they scrapped the idea because of its expensive price, it used literally Star Metal for its underlying armor and a Balefire Reactor, This tank is basically indestructible as long as it does not come into contact with Moondust, It also created its own Tank rounds by recycling the used casing, and steel to create the rounds.
Ebony whistled, "This is a beauty, though I do see why she was abandoned, why would someone need a stealth tank? It's like the opposite of Tank, whatever, it works for me." He looked around a found an entire crate of Stelth-bucks, along with crates of 5.56 ammo, and plenty of Tank shells. He used his powerful telekinesis to load the entire Tank up with ammo, it was huge and he noticed how a large portion was devoted to storage. He looked around a spotted an arsenal of weaponry, he loaded those in the Armory section of the Tank and spotted a few crates of food and water supplies. He realized how cramped the Tank will be but, he was only one person, so it was manageable, so he loaded the food and water inside the Tank. He walked to the rear of the tank to the entrance and opened the hatch and crawled inside. He looked inside and smiled, it wasn't as cramped as he predicted, it was actually quite homey, and it was large enough to have many ponies inside at once.
He stood up and nodded, "Perfect, not too big, not too small." He walked to the edge Drivers room and sat down, "So apparently this tank used some special magic to connect to the driver's mind, the driver has to go to sleep though." He pulled out the manual, that was on the control console and started to read. "Okay, I get it." He leaned back in his seat and closed his eyes, the last thing he felt was a small pinch at the back of his neck.
The first thing he noticed was he was actually floating, inside a black void, empty of anything. Ebony knew what to do though, "Computer start-up sequence!" The black void went white as he heard the engine roar to life from his flesh body, all his senses were active but his body was inactive. Soon camera feed started to flicker into view and the Tank's cameras went into Nightvision mode, he could see at a perfect 360-degree Angle around the tank, The Auto turrets hummed and activated.
In front of his tank was a boarded-over wall that he knew led to the accessway to get out of this bunker, "Forward!" He pushed an imaginary Control collum forward, the Tank's engine roared as it rammed into the boarded-over wall and snapped them like twigs, the Tank drove up the ramp that lead to the outside. More boards blocked up his exit whole, "Fire!" He pushed the imaginary control collum top button, and the Tank's cannon went boom. The Boarded wall was basically erased, as the shell went through it. The Tank eviscerated the boarded exit, and the Tank finally saw the sunlight. Ebony's cameras were blinding until they switched from Night vision to regular.
"Let's get out of here." Ebony pulled out an old GPS map and placed a map marker near Hoofington, the Boneyard. "We should be able to make it, it's still day." He allowed the tank to do everything as it left the city going 50mph, the camera's allowed the Tank AI to know where to go and where to not, all it needed was a direction and it would do the rest. A few stupid raiders thought to shoot at the giant Behemoth of a Tank and found out the hard way, bullets hurt.
Meanwhile, Ebony fell asleep as the Tank did all the work for him, he needed a rest just like anyone else.
When Ebony awoke he was still inside the Tank system, he looked at the cameras, "Where are we?"
The GPS Map came up, He nodded, "Okay, 20 miles away from Boneyard, time?" A clock appeared and showed midnight. "Hn, okay, when we arrive stay just far enough so the weapons can target but far enough that it will be hard to spot." The AI reeved the Engine as Ebony disconnected from the system and walked to the Bathroom and looked at himself in the mirror, He activated his Sharingan, then activated his Eternal Mangekyou. His eyes were different, around the pupil was a red triangle with three spikes forming from the right side of each point, then three red blades circling around the pupil.
His eyes glowed a soft red and he smiled, He blinked his Eternal Manegkyou, "These are new."
He pulled out a rag and stared at it, "Amaterasu!" The rag ignited with black fire and for the first time, his eyes didn't hurt, but his eyes still leaked blood.
He smiled, "Okay, wake me up when someone is near Boneyard." He walked to his room and lay in his bed.
He woke up with a start, his eyes bleary from sleep, he sat up. He realized something was up and rolled to his hooves, He walked out of his bedroom and into the Driver's room. He lay in the seat and closed his eyes, returning to the Tank System. He appeared inside the White void as the Camera feed appeared, His attention spiked when he saw the pony he was looking for. A white unicorn mare with red eyes and black and red mane and tail, Black Jack the Security Mare.
He also noticed a few fillies and colts, "Keep the children safe, Scoodle, keep her safe." The Auto turrets click and the Tank positions in a way to use the turrets on the left and front sides of the tank. "Open fire on the Ghouls, the Undead Radioactive mutants! Careful on the allies, precision, and accuracy over volleys of fire and damage." The Engine revved, and as the turrets pointed in the direction of the Boneyard, suddenly hundreds of hostile marks appears on the Tanks EFS. Ebony's fake eyes widened as the number of enemies increased, "Open fire!" The machine guns opened fire and the entire Tank started to vibrate from the number of rounds fired.
The Number of rounds fired was definitely excessive but it seemed to get the job done, all the zombies besides a certain few were turned to nothing but mush. The ponies within the Boneyard retreated, "Go invisible and retreat to a safe distance. Then head toward the Fluttershy Medical Center and prepare for an invisibility cloak."
'I can't let Black Jack suffer the way she did In the original, she is critical, and it's likely she will help me save this world.' Ebony tapped his Pip-buck and looked at the Original Fallout Equestria PH Story, "Morning Glory, I have to ensure she doesn't become a Dashite, or if she does, she doesn't get branded."
He looked at his Pip-buck and all the things on his list, "A fifty stables full of Cryo-soldiers who are likely to follow me if I show my Alicorn body, 12 Raptor Cloud-Ships, a Thunderhead, and a Construction base."
The Tank, which he named Monster Mash or M.M, rolled down the road towards the Fluttershy Medical Center. He reached the max distance he felt was needed, 4 miles. "Go invisible, remain inactive, and only open fire if I say so." Ebony disconnected from the system and walked to the Armory, he spotted a clean set of standard issued Military armor. He disrobed and placed his armor inside a footlocker and dressed up in the Military uniform along with the armor. He grabbed a standard-issue combat rifle, Revolver, a trench Shotgun, and a small Submachinegun. At the end of his dress-up, he looked identical to the Soldiers from the photos.
He quickly exited his tank and looked around, "Okay, so... Fluttershy Medical Center is that way." He looked at the large building, "Gotta sneak in, can't be seen by anyone." He crouched and went invisible just like his own tank, he basically crawled the whole way to the Fluttershy Medical Center. Once he arrived at the building he went to the stairs and used Chakra to amp his jump, He then spread his black wings and flew up even further. He reached the Floor where he knew the children were and walked into the room, and scowled. "Blood, lot of blood." He levitated his rife so it was level with his right eye, He looked down the 4 times sight. "Enemies, negative. Signs of a struggle, blood trails."
He looked at his Pip-buck and looked at his Quest screen: Save Equestria, Fix the Story, Save Black Jack & Little Pip, and Save the Heroes. He looked at Save Blackjack and saw the waypoint inside the Medical center, he followed it, and he arrived at the pods. He didn't encounter anything hostile on his way here, which was odd, the amount of blood and signs of a struggle showed that the robots were controlled by the children. They just were unable to see him apparently. He walked to the pods and pumped his Chakra into the fluids that kept the children alive, "Hopefully this fixes most of your issues." The children's bodies started to heal quickly but sadly none regrew any lost limbs, "Gotta use the Knowledge from Steel Pony." He started to type into the console with his hooves, "Prevent the Turning off of the systems, Prevent access of the pods, prevent Death of pod Occupants." He nodded his head and used his Magic Teleport to appear outside the Medical Center, "Okay, so that happened, time to return to the tank." He then became invisible again and ran to the Tank.
A few hours later he arrived at Megamart just before sunset, he walked up to the Megamart guards and raised his hooves. "One hundred for entry."
Ebony didn't even question it and tossed a bag of a Hundred caps to the guard, "We also need your weapons." Ebony scowled and dropped his Rifle, Shotgun, revolver, and Submachingun. "Not a big talker huh?" Ebony just stared at the guard making her feel uncomfortable.
"Sometimes silence can mean more than words." He looked at the gate and then at the guard, she nodded and opened the gate.
Ebony trotted towards the Hotel, he looked to the receptionist, "3 days." He dropped a bag of caps on the receptionist's desk. She nodded and slid a key to him.
He looked at the number, B12, second floor, 12th door. He disappeared in a Green flash.
He arrived at his room in a second, he used Teleportation. He created half a thousand Shadow clones, "Go out into the world and assist in any situation. Provide ample support to anyone in need, give Redeye issues, torment the Raiders, do anything to cause a huge shift, and change into different forms. I don't want a single one of you looking the same, similar maybe, but not the same!" The Clones all nodded and vanished, when Ebony was finally alone he sighed and laid back.
His eyes drifted shut as he finally got some much-needed rest.
He awoke the next morning and rolled to his hooves, He popped his neck and stretched like a cat. "Mmm..." He activated his Sharingan for a split second and deactivated them again, "Okay, so today, Watch Blackjack." He was engulfed in a sphere of magic as he teleported away.
He appeared a few feet away from Weather Monitoring Station 4, he became invisible and flew into the air above the station. He pulled out his guns, which were always on him and looked down his scope. He loved to henge rocks the weight of a firearm into the guns he wanted.
He looked around and noticed some movement, "Blackjack." He ensured she got irritated but Scoodle barely survived, she didn't know though, Ebony created a perfect copy of Scoodle when he let out some Blood sacs, so Blackjack is sure Scoodle was killed. This made everything in the story actually happen, he wanted to continue this trend for a long while, and He wanted Blackjack to really think someone died. This would make Blackjack not change from the story up until the point where he wants to deviate from the base story. He frowned, "I did send some clones with orders to take over Stable 99 and HMS Luna right?" He nodded fully sure he did.
Blackjack still fought the robots with a Baton, Ebony frowned. He looked around at the other Robots, "Katon: Fire Pheonix Jutsu!" He inhaled and exhaled a volley of tiny Fireballs. His eyes darted to Black Jack and realized that the fire would cause some suspicions, "Suiton: Water bullets!"
Ebony flew above Blackjack and looked down at her, "She is a mystery, I wonder." He looked at her Shotgun, "Okay, she needs 12 gauge." Ebony dropped a small box of ammo for Blackjack and it caught her attention, "Okay, time to leave, I need to find all the locations God ordered me to find." He pulled out a note he found inside the Tank Bunker, 220 in Hoofington area with 12 in Hoofington core, 210 in Canterlot area and 13 in Canterlot City. 170 in Manehattan area with 25 in Manehattan city, 167 in Trottingham are with 54 in city. 160 in Fillydelphia area and 50 in city, 100 in Pleasant Valley, with only 2 in Maripony. Ebony read all the numbers and frowned, "No map?" He turned the note over it and it was a picture of Hoofington with a single red X over the coast near Star Point. Besides the X was the word, Battleship with three question marks. "Battleship? I wonder why they would keep on in secret."
Ebony spread his wings and flew towards Starpoint, which was luckily quite close.
He landed at Star point and looked at the single skeleton, "It is good to meet you um... I seemingly forgot your name, odd." Ebony winced, "Sorry, I know who you are you were so popular, and you unknowingly took the child of your Ministry Mare Twilight Sparkle. Just know that filly you took care of, she's gone, but the fillies she had is still here, her name is Blackjack. You may meet her in the future, she's out of the stable, and she... she reminds me of my sister Little Pip..." Small amounts of tears starts to leak from Ebony's eyes, "Sh-she is something special, and has a bright and dark future ahead of her, but... I wanna fix it. She-shes a good mare but, she is twisted by the darkness of her stable. Oh, I forgot to introduce myself, Im Ebony Sword." He wiped the tears from his eyes, "Why am I crying? I don't normally cry, heh."
"Don't worry though, I will protect your kid Marigold." Ebony launched into the air and flew off before stopping, "Marigold, yeah, I will try and fix the mistakes of the past." He flew south of Star Point, towards a flat cliff face right on the water. He instantly noticed how deep the water was, easily deep and wide enough for a huge battleship like the HMS Luna. He landed on the cliff face and used Chakra to attach himself to it, "So I was supposed to find the entrance, it doesn't stay where though." A new Landmark appeared on his Pip-buck, SSC 1,231. He blinked as the 'Wall' he was attached to opened and nearly slammed him into a wall. He jumped to the side just in time, his eyes widened, "I guess the entrance found me." He poked his head inside and pointed his Trench Shotgun inside, "Interesting." He muttered, He walked inside the dark dusty room and activated the Flashlight.
It was just a small hallway that lead to a clean door, so the external Hallway was dirty but inside? He pushed the internal door open, or tried, the door state din place. Soon the External door shut hard, the force caused Ebony to actually jump in shock. The Room was soon filled with a burst of fresh clean water that absolutely drenched his Military clothes and armor, by the end of it Ebony's black mane and tail were hanging limp and his fur was soaked. Then the spray of soapy hot water that got in his eyes. "OW!" He rubbed my eyes with his wings and soon got blasted in the face by powerful wind. He was clean, and dry now, so was his clothes. He spat out some soapy water and grimaced. "Disgusting."
The internal door opened and showed a bright white corridor that was undamaged or even dirty. It looked pristine, and Ebony understood why a second later, Robots. "Hello Sir, welcome to Equestrias Secret Storage Center 1,231 otherwise known as the HMS Main Six resting Place, These were the Models that took after the HMS Celestia and Luna, They are all able to be solo operated as most are Computer controlled. I am Info Bot #2, I give Info of what the base stores, #1 Gives info on the bases second priority."
Ebony watched as the Mister Handy flew off, he only blinked. "Wow that was... informative. Wait where is the Ship's location!?"
The Bot's voice echoed through the halls, "Floor 0!"
Ebony sighed, "Okay, well at least I know that." Ebony looked directly ahead and frowned, "A map, why didn't I see that... Oh the Bot." He examined the map and nodded, "Okay so, the Stairs are a few yards down the right corridor, they will take me to Floor 0, its seems to be truly massive." Ebony jumped up and glided down the hall and towards the Staircase. He arrived quickly, He looked down the stairs and spotted a little sign that said Floor 0, Ebony didn't question it. He just jumped.
Fallout Equestria: Reborn
Something Bad and Something Good
Ebony stood beside Blackjack, Morning Glory, and P-21. Lancer was somewhere and Ebony keep an eye on him constantly. Ebony floated his Shotgun by his head and kept his weapons holstered and ready to use at any moment. "So?"
Ebony looked to Blackjack and tilted his head, "So?"
"Why are you helping us?"
Ebony looked stunned, "Can't a pony help out their fellow pony?" He coyly asked.
"I may be stupid, but I'm not Dumb you have some other motives."
Ebony sighed, "I am here to prevent Lancer from doing anything he would regret later, I am also here to recruit you to Peacekeepers, and I am also here to save you if the need arises."
"Why me?"
Ebony sighed again, "Because the Wasteland doesn't know it yet, but the world could end if we are not careful, there is an enemy unseen by many and feared by all. A power that is pulling strings on the past, present, and future. You may think you have no destiny but I know otherwise, I wish to fix this Destiny you have. You may not even know it but the entire world rests on your shoulders and the path you take, one wrong move could kill billions, and one mistake could end all that was ever done. I am the last resort, the one that defends the Security and the Light Bringer, the one who helps the weak and guides the strong. I am The Black Knight, the Armored Giant." Ebony turned his head and looked at the Hoofington Core in the distance, "This town is cursed but it could become blessed."
"I didn't ask you to get all cryptic on me!"
Ebony chuckled and rubbed the back of his head. "Sorry."
Ebony watched as Blackjack started the assault on Brimstone Falls, he frowned unsure what he was supposed to do. He had an idea, Gorgon. 'Okay, Blackjack I can't fix everything that happens to you, I can't fix the fact you are going to get your legs basically removed. What I can fix is your emotional trauma, I need to get the Peacekeepers into the Stable 99, but first I need to find the Supply Stashes.' He started his walk toward Gorgon using his Stealthy Buck to hide,
Ebony landed inside the mines and activated his Sharingan, it should negate any visual effects. He looked around and spotted Gorgon, "Hello Gorgon, or Stonewing, whatever name you prefer." Ebony basically appeared in front of Gorgon from the shadows, "I am a representative of the Peacekeeper Organization, I have one question for you Gorgon. Why are you hurting innocent ponies, didn't you learn the price of life during the war?" Ebony stared into Gorgon's eyes with his Sharingan spinning canceling out his ability, "Why are you following Sanguine, to be turned back to normal, you know that's impossible." That word caused Gorgon to growl, "Impossible, that word is a trigger? It is though, think with that mind that you have Stonewing, you are not stupid or even dumb. You are one of the strongest fliers in likely the world, but that brain still works in that skull of yours, think clearly. Why would Sanguine fix you when you are an easy pawn to control, and have a perfect body for what he needs you to do."
"Unlike Sanguine though, I wanna actually try to reverse this process, and possibly use this technology to help others. I can't do that if you resist or die Gorgon, so, will you join Peacekeeper?"
Gorgon's eyes widened slightly, he nodded his head timidly. Ebony sighed, "You are not a monster Gorgon, you are a pony that somepony else hurt, but I wanna help fix these mistakes of the past. You are the start of this fixing process, and just know Gorgon you would have died if I didn't arrive, killed by a Rock Crusher, and forgotten. I want to change that, I want others to see you for who you are and who you once was, Stonewing of Macintoshes Marauders." Ebony smiled wide, "If you really want to join the Peacekeeper Organization take this Pip buck, and follow the map until you arrive at the HMS Goldenblood." Ebony pulled out a spare Pip-buck and tossed it to Gorgon after he placed the waypoint. "Don't worry Gorgon you will always be welcome with us."
Gorgon vanished, using the Stealth-buck attached to the Pip-buck. Ebony turned away and smiled, "So, how can I fix the Ponies turned to stone?" His query was answered when suddenly all the stoned ponies reverted back to flesh and blood, "Oh, thanks gorgon." Ebony heard a grunt and the faded sound of wings flapping. "Okay, now that's done-"
Blackjack and her team ran inside and blinked, "What? Where is this Gorgon character, and why are all the ponies, not stone?"
Ebony smirked and shrugged, "The Peacekeeper organization tries Diplomacy before resorting to Violence, I just talked him down and he left a few seconds ago."
"How?"
"I just talked to him like he was a pony that needed help from a new friend. Also, there are the Zebra."
Ebony stood next to Blackjack as he stared at the zebras who did weird signs with their hooves, suddenly Ebony's danger senses flared and he scowled, he spun a second too late and a Bullet passed by his head and slammed into Blackjack's spine. Ebony saw red as a spray of blood splattered on his eyes, he screamed with rage and suddenly his Katana was unsheathed and magically attached to his hooves. Ebony moved like the wind and appeared in the shooter's face, one enemy zebra he didn't want to deal with, "Lancer!" Ebony swung his blade with both practice and instinct, Lancer was barely able to block the sword striking his rifle but the power behind it was still too much, Lancer was launched back and slammed into a nearby wall.
Ebony's eyes morphed into his Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan.
Ebony was suddenly engulfed with a bright red proto-Susanoo, the flesh covered the upper half of the Pony skeleton and the eyes ignited with bright green eyes similar to the color of Shisui's Susanoo. "Lancer Im gonna end you this moment! Sword of Totsuka!" The Pony Susanoo pulled out the Sword of Seals in its right hoof, "Be Sealed and feel your Oblivion!" Ebony's Susnaoo swung the blade only Lancer tried to disappear, fearful of his demise. "I have no choice, See the future, Face Reality, Kotoamtsukami!" Lancer's eyes widened and he started to shake, he went invisible and fled. Ebony coughed up blood from the usage of his Mangekyou, even his eyes started to burn with the pain. He looked over to Blackjack who had been cared to by Morning Glory, and he paled. 'That looks way worse than what the story described, her spinal column is severed, and she needs immediate care from the Peacekeeper medical staff.'
"Guys, we need to get her to a Hospital, along with everyone injured in the takeover event, we also need to check ponies out for the Raider Virus."
"What hospital! What place would have the needed medical supplies to be considered a hospital, in this fucking wasteland!" Morning Glory shouted, "I doubt anything in this world could possibly fix this, she will be paralyzed for life!"
Ebony pouted, "I'm calling a friend, hey Sandy Shores, do you guys wish to transport all these ponies to a safer location, It would be possible for my organization to move all of you guys to our HQ, we do need guards and soldiers."
"HQ?" Sandy Shores asks confused, "I mean, sure, it would be better than staying here in our opinion, could we possibly use this place as an Outpost or a mine?"
Ebony rubbed his chin and nodded, "Yep." 'Focus on saving Blackjack then you can be angry, help others then go have an anger vent.' Outside Ebony looked calm and collected but inside Ebony was so angry he was barely keeping himself collected, that anger of his exploded the moment Blackjack's blood hit him, not because it was Blackjack's but because his friend was hurt.
Ebony pulled out his Radio and attached it to his Pip-buck, "This is General Ebony-" His words seemed to both shock and confuse those that heard his words, "-we have a severe situation, we need instant Air Medical Evac and Air Civilian Transport. Prepare the Autodocs, HMS Fluttershy, and HMS Rarity, for Medical Usage."
"Rodger, how many?"
Ebony looked around, "Get as many planes as you can."
"Rodger!"
Ebony looked to Morning Glory, "How many?" It was a broad question but Morning Glory Instant realized what he was saying.
"All you have." Ebony gulped, "What?"
"Just don't freak out. Uncloak!" Seconds later Ebony's Tank appeared causing multiple startled gasp to come from the crowd and even Morning Glory, Ebony walked behind the tank and crawled inside. "I know I have a Medpack here somewhere." Ebony started to search around and finally, "Ah Ha!" He crawled out of the tank holding a large Hospital pack, a Med Pack, and a crate full of Stimpaks. "Here!"
"How do you have all that inside that Tank, how do you even have a functioning tank!" Morning Glory started to freak out.
"Focus on that later! Fix her!" Morning Glory luckily realized and started to get to work with what she could ensuring Blackjack didn't bleed out. "Okay guys, good news my guys are on their way to help, but they are running low on food supplies, I will have to take a small team to acquire some, the Tank may be required." 'Most likely, as the closest supply Stash was below a raider Deathtrap on the other side of the river. The only way to deal with it is to do a full-scale assault with a Heavy Vehicle, this Raider base is covered in turrets so we have to use the Tank as cover. Damn Zebra, they sure know how to make life hell even after 200 years.'
Minutes passed and Blackjack was barely stable at this point, any slip-ups would cause her body to shut down and no pony but Morning Glory dared to touch her, not even Ebony. He wouldn't even try if he could, he was more focused on trying to get back into contact with his organization, something happened minutes ago that seemingly shut down their communication. "Captain Seagreen, come in! This is General Ebony Blade, where is my backup, we are in need of immediate Medical Evac."
Again he received no answer until his radio crackled, "This is Pilot Infinite Bliss, we are en route to your position, sorry for the delay. We had a Pirate attack, then we had to get the HMS Rarity and HMS Fluttershy into the proper position, and next, we had to find the Medical Evac Vtols."
"Excuse excepted, luckily our injured is stable for the time, by a constant use of Stimpaks."
"Rodger that, only 5 minutes out."
"Phew, five minutes, will the supply last Morning Glory?" She nodded nervously, now soaked in Blackjack's blood. She was shaking and seemed to be having a panic attack, "Once the Medical aid is finished I will have to drop you all off back here, it is close to the Fleet."
Soon the Medical Evac Vtol landed within the walls of Brimstone, Morning Glory boarded with Blackjack and the crew looked pale at her condition.
"When is the Civilian Carrier coming?" All Ebony gained was silence, "What?"
"Boss, we don't have a method to transport all these ponies, most of our ships are going into Repair after being used for the first time in 200 years. Actually these Vtols are a miracle, you didn't hear this but, most of the planes used in the attack broke down days after. In fact, even the Angel of Death is now grounded, it took a few light dings to the engine by random spray but those bullets actually severely damaged the internals. In other words boss, we won't have an Air fleet if we don't get some spare parts."
"What? How! Most of those planes were sealed inside the Aircraft Carrier!"
"That's the thing, Boss, even our Ship Fleet is likely going on Standby, HMS Rainbow, Applejack, Goldenblood, and Pinkie are all stationary, Luckily HMS Spike and HMS Trottingham were saved by scrapping parts from the other ships."
"How is it this bad?"
"200 years is still 200 years in moist chambers, and rust is rampant across all the ships, no physical damage is on any parts, but Rust ate away most. In fact, it's a miracle that the ships were able to even make it to Fillydelphia, much less back!"
Ebony winced, "It's that dire huh?"
"Dire is not the word the Captain used, I believe he said, 'It's a Blody Miracle that this hunk of junk floats.' That's really why I have been calling everything a Miracle because it is!"
"Okay, okay I get it, we have to make up some plans to get the ships running again, then the planes, then branch out to land."
"Got it, Bye Boss!"
Minutes later Ebony excited Brimstone Falls, finally his rage and stress were about to explode. He walked out into the wild for what felt like hours until he was far away from Brimstone Falls, finally something hostile appeared on his Pip-buck, his eyes turned red with the three black tomoe, the Sharingan. "I need to vent out some anger, and whatever you are is about to feel my wrath."
Ebony pulled out the Trench Shotgun and noticed it was just a Bloatfly, but Ebony knows how disgusting they are. He points his shotgun at the little bug and slams fire all 6 shells into the damn bug. Its body didn't hold a candle to the power and its body exploded in a gory spray, Ebony frowned, he didn't feel better. He sighed, "Okay, we have to find a way to fix this mess."
He looked over to Brimstone Falls, "I need to actually put more effort into my Organization, they are the best chance to save this wasteland." Ebony sighed and walked back to Brimstone Falls, when he arrived he used his Magic to create a map of the Hoofingtion Area. P-21, and Sandy Shores all stand by him while new recruits join up, "Okay ponies, good news. You are all drafted to the Peacekeeper Organization, bad news the Fleet is now... stationary, and most of our air fleet is grounded for the time being. Luckily anything that is damaged can be fixed and broken can be replaced."
A random stallion raised his hoof, "How will we get these replacement parts?"
"Simple, find an SSC, sorry Secret Storage Center. They have many Prewar relics that have not been touched to found in the past 200 years."
"What about the food and water supply?" A mare asks.
"A Supply Stash."
"Why did the old government make these things?"
Ebony blinked not fully sure how to answer that question, "I-I'm not so sure..." He really had no idea, why did they make them? He shook his head, "Questions for a different time, what matters is that they exist and they have the supplies we need. Luckily the locations for the SSC and Supply Stashes were actually located inside the SSC HQs."
"Okay, so what are we supposed to do?"
Ebony sighed, "I need a Fireteam, a small group of expert ponies who can handle themselves, Pip-bucks will be given to any pony who can prove they should join up with me. The Weapons and armor will be given in due time. Sadly P-21 you have to stay with Fireteam Crimson-shadow or Team Blackjack. Sandy Shores you are now the Governor of this town so you cannot join up in any military operations."
It took a day to get the ponies for the operation, one earth pony mare, one earth Pony Stallion, two Unicorn stallions, and one unicorn mare. Both Earth Ponies were taught how to use the Power armor that was inside Ebony's tank along with the weapons they had, one of the Male Unicorns became the Sniper of the team, and his long-range accuracy was superb. The Other unicorn male became the Stealth/Assault unit of the team, capable of silent movement and able to hit all his targets in a rushed situation. The Mare Unicorn became the team heavily, she was a telekinetic genius and was able to carry a Minigun, Rocket launcher, Grenade Launcher, and so many other weapons at once with little strain, she was also able to make a near Alicorn shield. Their names are as followed, Rusty The Earth Pony Stallion, Blaze Stump the Earth Pony Mare, Silent Hunter the Sniper, Crack Shot the Assault/Stealth Pony, and Ripper the Heavy.
The five ponies were an Excellent Team with Ebony leading them they would be almost unstoppable, and that's why he was the leader. The Group hitched a ride inside Ebony's tank now named Silent Mistress. The Tank was capable of carrying 10 ponies comfortably so 5 was basically just a minor event, but the main thing was this Tank was barreling towards Chapel with the Stealth field activated, "What's the plan boss? It's a raider base and its across the river so why are we headed towards Hoofington Core?" Ripper asked nervously, she feared his answer.
"Simple, we go around. We cant go through Hoofington core at the moment, but I am trying to hack into Hoofington Cores control sectors but something is constantly pushing me out!" He snarled, "Nothing can live inside that death trap, so why is something pushing me out of control!" Ebony soon connected the Silent Mistress to his Pipbuck and allowed the System to assist him in hacking the core. "If I can't do it solo Silent Mistress will be able to help me push through whatever this thing is." His eyes widened when he gained instant access and Silent Mistress created a Hard locked Backdoor in the system. "Great!" He looked at the Simplified system list and clicked control over the Turrets. He scanned through the turrets and found the right one, "Got it, this turret overlooks the Raider base, Thankfully the weapons are functioning, and the Camera is... cracked but working."
"Can you fire a shot?" Crack Shot asked.
"Nope, the amount of power within these turrets are enough to totally destroy the Stash underneath, but it could be useful for a distraction, I could shoot at the the Raider base Intentionally missing, but gaining their attention."
"Then they would panic and we could attack them when they are at their weakest." Silent Hunter asked.
"Exactly, keep your heads on straight and focus on the Objective and staying alive."
"Got it!" His Team shouted in unison.
When they arrived at Chapel, Ebony jumped outside of the Tank followed by his Fireteam, The Crusaders all looked at him confused. He just stood there and leaned on his Tank that made the Crusaders nervous. Soon a Black stallion walked up to him, Priest. "Hello Traveler what brings you here?"
Ebony smiled, "We wanted to know if you wanted to join the Peacekeeper Organization along with the Crusaders, its entirely optional, and not forced, we would supply protection and supplies to your town after we establish ourselves in the New Brimstone Falls."
Priest stood there stunned, "What? Im sorry but you are here to help us?"
Ebony smiled, "Yeah! Peacekeeper is a group that is just now growing but we are kind of stunted at the moment."
"Why would that be?"
"Ours... Fleet is um running low on supplies to repair the engines."
Priest blinked again, its like he never heard of a fleet with engines, oh wait most haven't. "What kind of fleet?"
"Warships and Planes, along with Silent Mistress here."
Priest brain just couldn't comprehend what he was hearing, "W-we have to think about this..."
"Go on take your time, also please take this radio and crate of Pip-bucks we will be giving out free Pip-bucks for all our benefactors, contact Captain Sea Green if you want to join us. He is on Channel 1. Im on Channel 2 if you need Tank Support."
"Where are you going?"
"We need food and water for our Fleet, but we would have to go around Hoofington and raid a Raider base."
Priest nodded, "Thank you for the trust."
Later the tank exited Hoofington region, and crossed a bridge that was strong enough to support the Tank, The Tank crossed the Bridge with some difficulty but it still held strong, not long after the Tank was headed back towards Hoofington area and now had the weapons hot, this side of Hoofington was only Raider Territory, nothing else lived here and there was currently twelve SSC and Stashes in total in this region. They needed to clear out this one Base, and maybe the Raiders would think twice.
It didn't take long for the Tank to arrive to the designated Artillery location, Ebony looked at his crew and smiled, "I want Silent on the ledge in the north, use the 50.cal and attach a Silencer. Crack Shot I want you to sneak in the back and cause some chaos. Ripper, Blaze Stump, and Rust I want you three on Front Assault, Ripper use the two as cover and provide covering fire, Blaze Stump I want you to use the Auto Rocket Launcher and Auto Launcher to destroy groups, and finally I want you Rust to use the Minigun and Artillery Cannon to reck havoc on groups and gun down foolish solo's. I will have Silent Mistress provide covering fire on any targets that are to big for you guys to take down, I will be using my magic to provide Elemental support, and if needed I will provide cover."
It took a few minutes but soon the Operation was ready Ebony hid in a bush he pulled out his Pip-buck and hacked into the controls for the Hoofington core cannons, He aimed just above the Raider base and sent the message to fire. Hoofington Core cannons hummed and suddenly a beam of Magical energy shot over the raider base causing Chaos within their ranks. Instantly the attack started, The Three heavies charged and opened fire with their weapons, Ebony used Shunshin to appear ontop of a Raider Hut and ignited his horn with Chakra. Silent Hunter used his rifle to land headshots on the Raiders almost perfectly, Crack Shot snuck up behind a few raiders and slit their throats using magic, than he opened fire with his suppressed rifle.
Ebony Inhaled, "Katon: Great Fireball no Jutsu!" He Exhaled a giant Fireball that slammed into a small group of raiders firing upon the Heavies as they took down a different group. This group screamed in agony as their fur, flesh and even bone was incinerated. Ebony jumped off the building and his horn glowed again, "Suiton: Water wave!" He inhaled and exhales a literal wave of water that put out the fires. He spun around spotting a cowering Raider, "Sorry but also not, Doton: Earth Hand Capture!" Hands of dirt and mud grabbed the Raider and held him still, Ebony heard a foot step behind him, and no friendly announcement. He Pulled out his Service pistol and spun around opening fire with the entire clip, the Raider had no idea what had happened until he looked down and saw the front of his torso stained with blood. His eyes rolled back and fell down dead, Ebony reloaded quickly and pointed the pistol at the Captured Raider's skull, "Talk or perish."
The Raider started to freak out when the Available team members all walked up behind him now finished with the group, "Boss there was less than predicted, maybe 15 or 20, not as many as we assumed." Ebony's ear twitched and looked back to the one who talked, it was Silent hunter.
"Hn, where are the rest of your group?"
The raider started to panic, "I-I don't know-" His eyes morphed into a three tomoe Sharingan, "Underground, we found a massive food storage one day after burying our..." His eyes revert backed, "Wh-what happened."
"Guys, go clear them out, a team this time, I want you all to watch each others back, Silent Hunter go with, I will deal with this solo."
"Got it boss!" The Group ran towards where the Entrance to the Stash was.
Ebony looked to the Raider Stallion and grinned, "Sorry buddy, but you wont be alive to tell anyone what happened. Just relax and let death overtake you." Ebony pulled out his katana and pointed it at the Stallion's throat, "Bye Bye!" The Last things the raider saw was the sweep of the blade that decapitated him and his own body that sprayed out blood from the neck, and Ebony walking to the still conscious brain. The Very last thing the Raider heard as the laugh that would have sent chills down his spine, if it was attached.
Later the Raider Base was entirely cleared out and Ebony walked into the underground after his team called the all clear, he stepped over the dead bodies. He used his Magic to grab some of the useful items off the raiders and teleport them inside the Tank, he finally arrived inside the Storage Stash and nodded, "So it wasn't raided yet, good." There was hundreds of crates filled with supplies, from food, water, materials, even some mechanical parts. "Anything I should no?"
"The Enemy boss was here, and he was little concern."
"Rodger, calling for Cargo planes to land nearby."
"Are you sure there will be a Cargo Plane?"
Ebony nodded, "Yep, they have currently 12 VTOLs active and one singular Cargo plane for this exact situation, they priorities the repair of the Cargo Plane over all else, and the VTOLs for support."
"Landing?"
Ebony blinked for a split second and scowled, "Fuck, Fuck, Fuck, Fuck!" He inhaled and exhaled calming himself, "Fuck, I will deal with the Runway, you guys get the Lifters active and get the supplies ready to load, also load the Lifters."
"Rodger!"
Ebony walked towards a relatively flat area outside the base, "Doton: Flat Dirt! Doton: Hard Ground!" Those two basically created a extremally flat area long enough for the plane to land and takeoff from, than the ground hardened making it a permeant edition that basically will never change atleast for a good long while.
Soon he heard the sound of the propellers of the Cargo Plane behind him and soon the plane landed on the hardened soil. Ebony walked to the Cargo Pilot and smirked, "Good news the Storage center has plenty of supplies, enough to get most of the planes running again, bad news though not enough for the ships."
"Food?"
"321 crates full of safe stored MRE and canned meals, the same amount of Purified water, we will need a permeant post in this location until it is fully cleared out."
"Understood- Wait that's not possible."
Ebony blinked, "Why?"
"None of are trained in ground combat, we are Pilots and Sailors you need to get some ground Soldiers if you want a permeant base, also our SPEC-Ops are only good for short term missions."
Ebony hummed, "Okay, lets get those inside the Cyro pods inside Fillydelphia, some of those have to be Soldiers."
The Pilots eyes widened, "Captain will be please, that will work. Regroup at the HMS Golden Blood."
Ebony sighed, "Got It."
Hours later the Cargo Plane was long gone and Fireteam Nova all gathered outside the Tank, "Okay team, bad news for us, I have to split. You and the Tank will be doing missions on this side of Hoofington for the time to soften the Raider Influence, I want you guys to take down bases and any organized Raider establishments. I want to hear on the news the Chaos you guys are unfolding on this side of Hoofington, If you truly need some help, the Silent Mistress as access to the Core's turrets so use them as a Distraction or even to destroy bases."
"Got it Boss, who will be in charge?"
"Silent Hunter and Rust."
Ebony landed on the deck of the HMS Golden Blood, and walked to the Command deck, "So Captain Sea Green what do you think?"
"Crikey its perfect! It will allow us in the water time to repair but also give those in land our support."
Luckily I our ships all established the Magical Teleporter Devices so we could transport all our new team into the ships. Also just Fyi our Spec-Ops already opened the pods and the Pegasi group are the crew for Luna's Revenge, a Raptor Cloud Ship."
"Do we have the ship?"
Sea Green shook his head, "But remember the Civilian Cloud Ship?"
"Yeah, it doesn't have weapons."
"Weapons no, but Military Tech yes. It has a state of the art Stealth field, that our own Radars could not penetrate, it also has a built in Stealth field that only activates when landed, anything in the air can not see it or anything that is not terrain."
Ebony's eyes widened, "Those were on the ship's dossier."
"Because we found them in the supply you gave us, and there was only one of each, a failed Prototype."
"Failed?"
"It was impossible to reproduce, they tried but only got faulty tech, so these were trashed but the Military wanted to keep them just in case."
"So we have a Invisible ship that is basically just a cargo plane, we need air Offense and Defense."
"I was getting there, Crikey mate. We looked at some of the supplies you gave us and we realized most were spare parts for a Military Grade magical weaponry, we just need the Chassis and we will either have one big powerful gun or many smaller guns."
"Smaller, we aren't fighting an enemy fleet or Dragons, just ponies."
"Well if it's smaller we can produce maybe 20 Auto Laser Turrets and place them on the ship, but it will be just for self-defense at the time."
"Spread them out across the Hull, 10 on bottom an 10 on top."
"Huh, not bad, but why on top..."
Ebony blinked, "Correction 15 on bottom and 5 on top."
"That works."
With a Cloud ship and actual foot soldiers the Peacekeeper started to spread out quickly, it only took them a week and by then the group had gained a foothold on land, The Group gained control of Fluttershy Medical Center, Ironshod R&D and a few other minor locations. They quickly became contenders with the Reapers, their use of power armored ponies, functioning Air fleet and designated shelling. The Peacekeepers were quickly considered one of the most powerful factions in the Hoof. Still Ebony was not happy with this.
"It's not enough, we made a presence known in Hoofington and Red Eye fears us enough to consider us a greater threat than the Goddess."
"What's the Problem Boss?" Sea Green asked,
Ebony sighed, "The Problem is I didn't want this organization to just save Hoofington, I want to save as much of the world we can possibly achieve. Also our group is stunted the ships don't work, what happens if we need to rapidly redeploy in main Equestria, the answer we wont be able to. Also my Sister is in main Equestria and I think it's time for us to actually show them why we are feared in Hoofington."
"Boss, where is the Storage center-"
"No we will be using what we have, remember we have Stash in our control, we have to use all those spare ship parts to actually repair the vessels."
"The Air Fleet-"
"Is a Secondary Priority now, most if not all are fully functioning, I doubt us lowering their supply with cause much of a problem at the moment. If we were facing Air to Air targets then yes, I would spare as many parts as we could, but we are facing ground targets."
Sea Green sighed, "You are right, but still I would prefer not to lose any of our pilots."
"Did you guys set up the Magical Shields?"
"On a few planes, most were incompatible."
Ebony grunted, "Well I want our ships ready to move in the next few days, I have to check on how Blackjack is doing."
Sea Green frowned, "I hope you don't kid, she's worse off than what we assumed."
Fallout Equestria: Reborn
Assault on Fillydelphia and War
Ebony looked over the sleeping Blackjack, his eyes narrowed, and looked over to P-21 and Morning Glory, "How bad?"
She winced, "Worse than we assumed, she is entirely paralyzed and lucky to be alive."
He frowned, "We need to fix her, Steelpony is not ready to be used yet, but we really have no choice. P-21 You are the closest pony to a family with her, what do you suggest?" He looked torn for a moment, "It's up to you, but know this if we use a Mechanical spine we will have to amputate her legs partially, we aren't using Custom parts, we are using parts already made and we will have to adjust to what we have."
"What about the legs you will be amputating?"
Ebony sighed, "I'm unsure, we could keep them in storage but they may decay very quickly."
"Or?"
"Or I don't know, sorry."
Morning Glory frowned, "It still hurts, will she be the same pony?"
Ebony nodded, "She will be, maybe even enhanced."
Ebony walked to the Command Deck and looked over to Captain Sea Green, "How is the procedure with Blackjack going?"
Sea Green nodded, "Well, the only issue is that well you already know that."
"So it's going good?"
"Yep, now onto other matters, the Fleet is ready and some of the ponies unfrozen will be taking the HMS Rarity, Fluttershy, Hoofington, Manehattan, and Canterlot."
"So we have the whole fleet?"
"Yep, and good news, Hoofington is going Solo, Directly under your command."
"What does Hoofington have again?"
Sea Green blinked in surprise, "You don't know, it's one of the strongest ships in this entire fleet, The Armor plating is made entirely of Reinforced Star Metal, and the cannons are smaller versions of Hoofington Cores' own cannons, all of the ship that is not covered in Star metal is covered in thick Titanium-Tungsten alloy. Not to mention the fact it has 4 Balefire Reactors, 3 launchable Mega Spell sites, and a missile bay that are not Balefire."
"So it's a floating indestructible Fortress, that can blow up targets miles away and can use Mega Spells." Ebony blinked when Sea Green nodded, "I like it. What kind of Mega Spell?"
"Easy, Repair, Heal, and Sun Strike."
"So two support spells and one combat spell?"
"Yeah, Sun Strike is a better version of the one Twilight used in Manehattan, it doesn't need sun contact to use it just needs enough Magic energy to perform, good for you guys the Balefire Reactors provide the power."
"So all we have to do is guide them, we really don't even have to make the Spell just guide it to its location?"
"Mostly, it will take 3 unicorns to make the spell."
"Got it. So Where is she?"
Sea Green grinned, "look to the south, you will find her." Ebony smiled.
Ebony walked outside the Command Deck and looked towards the south, and boy was he impressed. The Ship was coated in thick ebony black metal that seemed to extend the Turrets were the same color with sickly green high lights across the weapons. "So this is my baby? My ship? She looks totally Unstoppable."
Sea Green nodded, "That's why Luna made her, to be the Unstoppable ship just like Hoofington City, She made her to be the morale ship of Hoofington Region, Hoofington Rises after all. Now Hoofington Floats for Eternity."
Ebony turned to look at HMS Hoofington, "Does it have a dry dock and vehicle storage bay?"
Sea Green nodded, "Big enough for multiple vehicles and it even has a small Fighter Jet that can be deployed, it is capable of dropping small bombs, and the Pilot is always ready for action."
"So it's technically an all-purpose Vessel?"
"Not really, but also yeah, it can't do everything but what it can do it perfects."
"I will see you later then, I will be picking up my Fireteam and keeping Silent Mistress on board."
"Oh and keep raiding SSC and Stashes, you never know what we could use."
"Got it, I also want Blackjack and her team on my ship when the time is right, one pony cant save the world, only together can we do it."
"Will do mate!"
Ebony stood on the Command deck of his Ship, his eyes narrowed as he watched the small white arrow on the Equestrian map exit Hoofing Reigion. The ship was headed towards Fillydelphia, he heard his sister had just sent an SOS from that region, He would help.
He had already picked up his Nova Team He Met the Captain of the ship, it was an older female Hippogriff. "Oui kid, get your skinny ass in here!"
Ebony sighed, he had to deal with her quirky and almost slutty personality. "Coming."
He walked into the Bridge and looked at Captain Feather Load, our Feather. "We have some... unpleasant company." Feather Load looked out in front of the ship and scowled, Ebony followed her gaze and frowned. "What do we do Boss?"
It was a small fleet of what he could only assume were Zebra Pirate ships, "Open fire with all weaponry if that doesn't destroy them it will keep them away."
The Laser and Plasma turrets all hummed as they activated, "Oh we are doing this the fun way, can I grind on your-"
"-No." outside Ebony didn't look flustered but Feather Load knew otherwise, he was shy and he just didn't know how to deal with mares wanting him.
"Aw, no fun."
"Aren't you old enough to be my mother?"
"Uh, rude, I'm only 31!"
"Im 18"
"Oh, then yeah."
"Thought so."
By the time they finished their conversation, the ship's turrets opened fire releasing beams of magical death. By the time the pirates realized their mistake their ships were already sinking, those that survived the barrage landed in the water mentally lost at what happened, and they quickly surrendered.
"Great, more prisoners."
Not too long after the Ship arrived near Fillydelphia, The weapons all aimed towards Red-eyes base. "I will be disembarking if this does south retreat and wait. I will be bringing my sister and her team Back."
Ebony flew off towards Red-Eyes base. He sent a message to his sister on her location, he frowned when he received the message. "Stable-Tec?"
He landed a few miles away from the Base and put a physical restraint over his wings, "I can't have my sister or anyone know about my wings yet." He had been making an excuse that he can fly with self-Telekinesis, which he absolutely could, it was just easier to fly. He walked up to the entrance of the Stable-tec HQ, A few Steel rangers stopped him and checked out his gear, they found nothing unusual.
Ebony followed a Stallion wearing Scribes uniform, there was nothing that stood out about the stallion, absolutely nothing. Ebony couldn't even look at the stallion's face he looked so normal, oh wait no, that's a grizzly scar. Ebony actually paled when he realized it, that scar would have killed any pony that received the injury, and yet this pony lives. "So?" Ebony asked,
"So, we are here."
Ebony sighed as they arrived at the manager's office, he pushed the door open and was met with a Steelranger and an Elder, he looked around for his sister. "Where is my sister, Pip?"
"She is getting ready, we need you to be a distraction for Red-eye." Ebony raised an eyebrow, "I know it sounds stupid but Red-eye is very suspicious of everything now that he had been attacked, Pip has to get inside to get the Schematics for the Balefire Reactor, and her team has to do other things. She called you to help her do this, can you do it?"
Ebony sighed, "I could easily, my team is top quality, and I own a Tank-"
"A Tank?! Just who are you!"
"General Ebony Blade of the Peacekeeper Organization."
"General You? Why would they allow a Kid to lead them."
"Because this Kid is who attacked Red-eye and developed a new Faction In Hoofington region that stands Toe to Toe with The Steel rangers and the Reapers." Ebony frowned.
"You are very forward with this info, aren't you scared I may do something?"
"Sometimes info can prevent a war, and sometimes It can start one."
Ebony teleported outside the Steel Ranger Base and pulled up his Pip-buck with a wild smirk, "Sometimes all you need is a little info to destroy a faction, Thank you, Elder, for the knowledge on your Radio Frequency." He started to hack into the entire Steel Ranger Radio, he walked away from the base, "First I had to do this distraction, then I will be attacking their morale."
Ebony pulled out his Peace Keeper Radio, "I want Nova Team en route to Red-eyes Base, tell them it's time we make an entrance in main Equestria. I want HMS Manehattan, Canterlot, and Rarity to join up with HMS Hoofington. I want HMS Spike to move into a good firing Position for the Manehattan region."
He didn't wait for a response he closed the channel and started to run toward where his Team would be waiting, 'It will take us a day to prepare and for Pip to find what she can.'
He quickly regrouped with his Team, and they prepared, "Okay so this is a loud Operation, That means The tank will be used to its fullest. I want Rust and Blaze Stump flanking the Tank, Silent Hunter using the Auto Turrets to open fire, and Crackshot I want you to use the 50.cal Minigun. Ripper I want you to keep the rear cover and use the Heavy Armor, I will be driving the tank while the weapons are automated the drive sectors are not, someone has to manually command the system to drive."
"Okay boss, what should we do for the distraction?"
"Rip and tear until all that stands in our way is dust!" Ripper giggled in an almost maniacal manner. "No but seriously, we should just kill everyone that gets in our way and help the slaves, Ebony you should use something to convince the Raider Slaves into joining us."
Ebony nodded, 'I could use Kotoamtsukami to 'convince' the Raiders into joining us, and I could use words to convince the other slaves.' "Good idea Ripper, Okay, change of plans, this is no longer a Distraction, we are going to go on the assault against Red-eye."
"Boss, are you sure we can win this battle? This isn't a raider group, this is an Organized faction."
Ebony rubbed his chin, "I know, but what other choice do those ponies inside that wall have? We may be their only chance, Red-eye has lost a great number of ponies, and those that were on his side are close to leaving. So The best way I can think we hack into Red-Eyes radio, and use that as a powerful distraction, it will give hope to the slaves and also make the slavers lose morale. We also should send out a deal to any Slaver that wants to join us, better food, water, supplies, medical aid, etc. This will cause the enemy to both panic and possibly join us, the Slaves will likely join us."
"Okay but still you haven't said, we will likely be facing well over a hundred ponies-"
"Correction 50, their numbers here have greatly decreased from our attack, but you still have a point." Ebony looked up in the sky and smirked, "Why not use Celestia's Grievance."
"The Stealth Raptor, won't that bring unwanted attention, the planes are suspicious enough but a Raptor?"
Ebony sighed, "Good point, shit a second plan down the gutter." Ebony had an idea, "Wait, why not use a second-strike team?"
"Who? Who can help us?"
Ebony frowned, 'Each of our ships has at least 5 Strike teams, HMS Hoofington is an Exception with only 2, and the second has been dealing with Stable 99 for the past few weeks now. None of the other ships will be able to make it on time, what if cloned myself...'
"I have an idea, it will be a good distraction."
"We will do that then boss."
Ebony nodded, 'Time to prepare for the assault.'
In the middle of the night, Ebony used Taju Kage Bunshin no Jutsu to produce hundreds of Shadow clones, he sent them to the opposite side of the base and made them Henge into random ponies.
The night passed and now Ebony sat in the white space of the Silent Mistress System, he watched all the camera feed and pushed the tank onward with his eternal crew trailing behind.
They arrived at the front gate and Ebony hacked into Red-Eyes Radio, "This is General Ebony Blade of the Peacekeeper group, we are sorry we had to hack into your regularly scheduled program. Today marks the start of a New Era for Equestria, Peacekeeper will be attacking Red-eyes base with a full battalion on the east section. This is your only warning, any slaves retreat to your dens, and any Slavers who wish to join us join the Slaves in their dens. Those who remain should surrender at the east gates, those who do not surrender will perish, you all have 6 minutes to heed this warning. 6 Minutes counting now." A countdown was heard starting at 5:59 and down, and chaos erupted inside the base ponies were injured, and some were shot for insubordination. Ebony smirked, "This will lower their numbers, Remember no killing ponies that surrender, are unarmed, or are slaves."
6 Minutes passed and Ebony sent the message to his clones, almost instantly the sounds of panicked yells and gunfire were heard.
Silent Mistress punched through the west gate, met with a crowd of panicking ponies that realized what was happening, and reached for their guns, some fell to the ground whimpering. Those that pulled out their guns were gunned down by an overwhelming force of 5mm bullets and 50. cal minigun, the Auto Grenade Launcher released a near-constant stream of 40mm grenades. The Auto turrets released a barrage of angry red laser streaks that turned those it impacted into dust. Ripper only used her quad set of Miniguns and Rocket Launchers when an enemy tried to sneak up behind the tank. The Main Cannon fired at any balloons in the sky or huge groups of ponies to disrupt their charge.
The Battle lasted minutes but it didn't take long for the first injury to occur, Ripper was shot and retreated inside the Tank. Blood dripped down the inch-wide hole in her foreleg and some of the bullets that punctured her armor. Next was Crackshot who had a hole in his ear and blood dripping from his left eye. Ebony started to grow concerned for his team, "Stay inside you two, I can't lose any of you." Ripper used a healing potion to heal the bullet holes, while Crackshot had to retreat to the Tanks only Auto Doc.
Silent Hunter continued to fire the laser turrets even though many of them were damaged and refused to fire. Rust and Blaze Stump held the line alone even as their weapons failed or ran out of ammo, using their Martial arts-empowered power armor to absolutely wreck any pony they could. Soon though their struggle ended as Blaze Stump was shot in the skull with an AP 50. cal round, she slumped to the ground dead. Rust seeing her fall picked up her body and retreated inside the tank. "Boss this was a bad idea, we lost Blaze Stump!"
Ebony frowned, "Fuck fuck fuck fuck! Think!" He looked at Blaze Stump's dead body and his world started to turn red at the edges of his vision, "I have an idea, I want you guys to use the Tank to retreat, I will be a diversion, fuck."
"Boss we just lost a pony we can't lose you also, we really can't lose you."
Ebony's eyes morphed into his Eternal Mangekyou, "You won't, I will have to see how powerful these eyes truly are, I will be going down unknown territory when I use them this way." The rear Tank hatch swung open just as it was surrounded by Slavers. Ebony walked outside calmly and closed the hatch. "Sorry, but you won't be getting a single pony today, instead I will be death to your death steps." Ebony's eyes pulsed and he was instantly engulfed into a Perfect Pony Susanoo, covered in red eternal armor holding with a horn and a set of wings on its back, Inside a magic field the Sword of Totsuka and Yatamir Shield formed in their full glory. The Tank spun its treads and retreated, vanishing soon after activating its Stealth Field. Ebony stood inside his Susanoo placed inside the head of the Giant magic/Chakra construct. "This is the power of the Peacekeepers!" Ebony's left eye bleeds and pulses, "Amaterasu!" A wall of black flames formed behind where the Tank had traveled, "You all will die here by my hooves, so know this, your Red-eye cares naught for you at all." Ebony grinned, blood leaking into his mouth and staining his teeth, "You all will perish knowing this. Goodbye."
Meanwhile, Little Pip was fleeing with Xenith and saw her brother inside the Giant construct, "Bro? What are you..."
Xenith looked over to where her eyes were and blinked, "Your Brother is a God of something... No Mortal pony could possibly possess such powers. We must go, he is buying us time to flee." Little Pip was still frozen, Xenith sighed and knocked Pip out, "Foolish little pony, running is our only option." She ran carrying Pip on her back.
Ebony's Susanoo was soon grabbed by an angered Alicorn, He shouted and released his Susnaoo accidentally. He fell to the ground surrounded by enemies, his eyes still in their Eternal formation was able to trace the bullets that headed his way, he darted around completely avoiding the rounds. He soon appeared behind a stallion with his Katana unsheathed, His blade cut the air, flesh, and bone as if none were there. The Spray of blood coated his fur and he moved on, He jumped over a shotgun blast and stabbed the Katana into the shotgun ponies skull he tore his blade from the skull with a flourish.
He grabbed the shotgun and charged the next pony, he pumped the shotgun loading a new round, and pulled the trigger point blank from a mare's chest, an inch-wide hole formed right through her heart. He didn't stop killing, he grabbed the guns of the downed ponies and used them against their comrades, his sword sang the song of death for many ponies. He continued to fight even when almost nopony was left, He was now levitating hundreds of weapons and his eyes still glowed with a fury unmatched, he himself was sporting many wounds even with his speed and strength he was still a pony. He still bled red blood, Ebomy was panting his body sore and tired, but he could not stop. He was now surrounded by Alicorns, his eyes reverted from their Eternal state unable to sustain themself. "I wonder how many of you I can kill, I wonder if Twilight is even inside you, Monster. I also wonder what my Ancestor saw in you Twilight, Applejack would be disappointed." He loaded his gun and inhaled, "I also know, Trixie, you were wrong, the only way to save ponies is to be a pony yourself, something you lost. You are just a monster, like all of those in this world, like a Bloadfly or Radroach, all we have to do is squash you." He grinned and his magic erupted from his Cutie Mark, his body felt stronger, "An as the Hero of the Story, The Light always squashes the Darkness, or turns it good in the end." Ebony's magic covered his body, his eyes glowed white and he shouted with all the rage he could muster. They flashed purple for a split second until morphing back into his Eternal, "Die monster!" He charged the Alicorns who were stunned by his display, his speed increased every second until the only thing heard was the repetitive sonic booms, the Alicorns could not react fast enough and each one died on the spot. Ebony stumbled after he killed them all, unable to even keep moving. He collapsed to the ground and remained stationary, his breathing was the only thing he could hear. He saw the numerous bodies of Ponies and Griffin. He killed so many but he didn't truly enjoy the slaughter, he always lied to himself, and he hated killing.
He lied to himself, his sister doesn't need him distant she needs him with her. He failed to keep his team safe. A murky green stallion with a blonde mane and tail, along with green eyes appeared in his vision. Ebony grunted and barely forced himself into a sitting position, "You." The Stallion flinched, "What side are you, Slave or Slaver?"
"S-slave..." Ebony blinked and sighed, "Why do you wanna know."
Ebony stood up and used his Water Chakra to barely wash himself off, "Well good news, I am here to rescue any Slave that deserves it." He ditched his shredded uniform and now ruined body armor. His katana leaked blood but he swiped it off, "Only problem is my team took a bad hit and I had to stay behind for a diversion."
"That was a Slaughter." The Short stallion stated
Ebony weakly smiled unable to put on a strong false face. "Yeah, I didn't enjoy it, but... to be honest I hate Slavery."
"Will you still help us?"
Ebony smirked and pulled out all the guns he had taken from the dead, "You bet, I just need to rest for a while. My Magic and energy are all depleted. " Ebony spotted the broke Pip-buck on his leg, "Maybe I could fix that..."
The remnant of Team Nova arrived back at HMS Hoofingtons Landing Craft and boarded, placed the dead Blaze Stump in a Body bag. "She was a good soldier, died fighting how she wanted to go out," Rust muttered his normally silent voice finally speaking, "Boss was right though we brought hope to the slaves, we should continue to hammer into the slavers,"
"What about the Boss?"
"He's MIA at the moment, I doubt he's dead, I mean did you see what he unleashed?"
Ripper grunted, "It was Divine, he's alive, who will be in charge of the team for now?"
Sea Green crackled through the radio, "We are moving all current forces to Fillydelphia Region, HMS Twilight and HMS Spike will be staying solo in Hoofington. This is Captain Seagreen to all channels Civilian or otherwise, We are the Peacekeeper Union and we have just declared war with Red-eye. Peace will be achieved, love will be restored and families will be reunited. Oorah!"
"It seems this will be a common occurrence, I hope the Angel Of Deaths weapons are hot." Ripper giggled, "I can't wait to hear their fearful screams."
The Radio broadcast still continued, "Captain! An SOS from Stable 2, Steel Rangers have attacked, what should we do?!"
Sea Green muttered something off the radio, "Okay checking, oh shit. Okay new orders, HMS Twilight will be dropping a Spec-ops team directly on the Stable, I want all air units to provide air support, I want all civilian life to be extracted from that stable and moved to HMS Fluttershy."
Ebony's ear twitched from the Radio broadcast, "It just started."
Murky Number Seven looked at him oddly, "What do you mean?"
"The Begenning of a new Era."
Little Pip and Velvet's eyes widened from hearing the Broadcast, "Calamity we have to go to Ponyvile! Stable 2 is under attack by Steelrangers!"
Calamity sighed but pushed himself harder by flying the Skywagon, "Got it pip, are you sure that group can be trusted?"
"My Brother leads them, he knows what to do."
"I don't know what to do." Ebony looked at Murky's broken Pip-buck, "I can't fix this, it is far too damaged."
Murky sighed, "Thank you for trying."
"No problem, though we have to figure out to save all the slaves here." Ebony placed all his weapons on the Sewer wall, "I could make turrets but I lack the supplies, and I can't really do anything with scrap metal." He haphazardly banged pieces of metal together, "I'm not sure."
Murky couldn't help but smile, Ebony acted like a child sometimes.
Ebony bonked his head against a wall repeatedly, "I wonder, I could make Pipe bombs."
"With?"
"Not a thing... Yeah, that's not happening." Ebony pouted and laid his head down, "I wish I could help them."
"Help who?"
"My group, I'm the leader and I had to leave to help you guys, they had to retreat I had to stay."
"Oh, can't you get into contact with them?"
"Yeah but, I shouldn't not until you guys can be saved. Though I can help..." He smirked.
Fireteam Alpha, Fireteam Bravo, Fire Team Beta, and Fireteam Charlie all dropped above Stable 2, 3 minutes before Pip's team arrived, they used parachutes and landed on the ground. Soon a new radio signal was heard on all frequencies, "This is General Ebony Blade of Peacekeeper, Great Times 12 Grandson of Applejack and Applesnack. I am the Desinated leader of the Steel Rangers, those who do follow this order are to be shot on sight by all Peacekeeper personnel. Surrender, and you will be treated fairly, and given rank and title befitting your status within our ranks, Applejacks Rangers. This is my only command."
The Fireteams all nodded with each other and moved forward, a yellow pegasus mare wearing Shadow bolt armor leading the charge, Her Nova rifles charged up, She found a Steelranger "Surrender!" She yelled. The Steelranger didn't listen he turned around and got one shot off with their 40mm grenade launcher, The Mare's eyes widened but she still opened for her twin Nova launchers, The Steelranger was incinerated inside the armor with minor damage to the armor, sadly the mare was also killed, the Explosion severed her head and it landed on the ground with a sick thud.
"Sergeant Lemon Lime is KIA!" Stallions shouted, "Move up!" The now 15 ponies moved inside the Stable entrance and took down any threats they came across, multiple Steelrangers dropped their weapons and gave up instantly, others refused and were gunned down, and soon they grouped with Team Pip.
"General Pip, what should we target first?"
Little Pip blinked in confusion, "General? I'm not a General."
"You are now kid, with General Ebony gone and you his Sister, and this is your home turf, you know it the best."
"O-Okay, um..." She thought about it, "The Apple Orchard is a location we should clear, it connects with the Atrium."
One of the Pegasi mares nodded, "Got it, You." She looked at Calamity, "Pegasi, you a Dashie?"
Calamity grunted, "Yep."
"Good job, at least this generation isn't all feather brains. Here take this armor." She pulled out a spare Power armor, "These are Peacekeeper, you could remove the tags if you want, remember though we would always take you, brother."
Calamity nodded, "I doubt I will join but I appreciate the armor."
The Pegasus mare nodded and looked to her ally, "Okay move out guys, we can't have any citizens hurt."
The Team nodded, and they moved forward.
The Pegasi mare eye's widened and she jumped into cover just like her friends, a barrage of minigun a rockets raced towards their location, "We found the enemy! Need Backup!"
An Earth Pony stallion pulled out his high power rifle and looked over the side of his cover, he didn't live long enough to realize his mistake. A grenade exploded feet from his face killing him instantly.
"Earthen Tree is KIA, what the hell, we are losing numbers fast!"
"Its overwhelming firepower and durability against skill and agility! We are on the loosing end, everypony put on your helmets this situation got dire."
"Remind me why we didn't have them on to start?"
"Our helmets are not fully functioning we could suffocate at the moment." The team put their Power armor helmets on and instantly realized why the helmet was missing the rebreather. "Who scrapped the helmets!"
"Command, they needed parts for the Planes and Fleet."
"So they tore out the Rebreather!?"
"Magical and electrical cables."
"Shit."
The Team jumped out of cover and opened fire with the weapons, their Power armor took the impacts and they moved forward gunning down the Steelrangers. "When we get back to base we have to get those Rebreathers back."
"We were supposed to get them back in a hour, but this came up suddenly."
"I fucking hate the timing to that, we lost two good ponies Lemon Lime and Earten tree, they were the best of their field, Lemon Lime was a medic for fuck sake."
"I know, no pony wants to loose soldiers but this situation is dire."
Little pip appeared behind one of the Steel Rangers with Lil Machintosh placed against their head, "Give up." He did not, he turned around and received a .44mag round straight into the eye his head slammed back and his body collapse to the ground. Xenith appeared behind Pip just in time to slam her hooves into a enemy steel rangers chest cracking something. The Fireteams all nodded, "General Pip assisted in take down, moving forward."
The group arrived close to the Atrium doors, they spotted a group of Scribes using plasma torches to open the door, "Get on the ground, Peacekeeper!" They did as they were told with no struggle realizing how outgunned they were, "Where is your boss!"
"Elder Blueberry Sabre and Elder Cottage Cheese have moved to the Theatre, and Nova rage is-" The scribe was shot in the skull by a plasma beam, Instantly the Fireteam reacted and jumped into cover.
"Contact, Contact!" Little pip appeared now bleeding some a small wound on her cheek, "What did you find General?"
"Its Nova Rage, what do we do, I cant get close to him."
The Pegasus mare frowned, "My wings are just a hinderance here so I will be following your command Golden Pear."
A Earth Pony stallion snorted, "My name is Pear."
"Whatever Pear, I'm following your lead."
"Right, Captain."
Pear jumped out of cover quickly followed by the Captain, their team proved covering fire. Pear and Cap hid behind a tree, "We good?"
"Rodger!"
Little Pip appear behind the Cap, "I can provide covering fire."
"You sure General, this situation is-" Beams of plasma passed by between Pip and Pear, "-Bad."
Pip scowled, "I can take care of it."
"Just like your brother you ponies always do things that you don't have to do. Go!" Pip opened fire with her Zebra rifle. Cap and Pear both moved forward with their team doing covering fire. They arrived in front of Nova Rage an tackled him to the ground, "Your underarrest, Cap use the Suit EMP!"
Cap nodded and pulled out a small device and slammed it onto the torso of the Power armor, The suit ignited with blue electricity and shut down. "Do you surrender."
"Never!"
Cap ripped the helmet off using the emergency system, she placed her Nova surge rifles to his skull, "I wonder if dying by a Nova Surge will be an Insult or compliment to you, after all your name is Nova Rage, but all I see is Nova Madness." Cap looked to Pear, "I can handle this get the team and get the Elders into Custody. General Pip where is your team?"
Pip nodded, "They are in the Theatre- Oh... Oh no..."
"Situation downgrade, go go go!"
Ebony stood next to Murky Number Seven, Brimstone Blitz, and Glimmerlight. "Okay with me you guys can easily escape, Solo, I doubt you could even attempt it. I have killed around... a hundred slavers and got their weapons and armor." He pointed at all the supplied he gathered, "Next thing we need is a good supply of Food and water, the Slavers are not going to be a good source. Luckily the forces here are now... basically none existent. How many were there Brimstone?"
"Only around 20." He grunted out.
"20, what is going on with their numbers, that's way lower than a facility of this size should have,"
"Your forces have attacked them twice, I doubt they have much more to give."
Ebony rubbed his chin, "That's a good point, maybe it time to take Fillydelphia back into a organized union."
Murky frowned, "B-but, are you sure I am suppose to escape this place?"
Ebony looked at the opened slave cuffs with a fond smirk, "Yep, I doubt slavery is what you are meant to do for the rest of your life. I think you have a better purpose ahead of you."
"We-we have to go, Protege will be mad and suspicious if we don't show up." Ebony frowned, "Bye."
Ebony nodded and looked at where they left, 'Okay, it's time to take out Stern, without Red-eyes main Slaver it may start to crumble away, if someone worse is given the title, I will make an example of them." Ebony disappeared in a white flash, he appeared above ground and instantly henged into a new pony. He was a random Griffion Guard he killed and hid the body. He walked over towards the Location where he knew Stern was, he pulled out his hand crafted Kunai, he saw her. His eyes narrowed, 'I could do this stealthy, obvious, or even loud. Stealthy would require me throws 12 Kunai each one that bounced off each other and only 3 would make contact with her body. Ovbious would be me walking up to her and either overpowering her in a struggle or just slit her throat and fly off. Loud would be me using my guns to open fire on the crowd of Slavers, and kill Stern first.'
He thought about it for a moment before he decide, 'Okay Stealthy it is, I do things loud almost all the time, time for a little skill and technique.' He pulled out multiple Kunai and threw three Kunai into the air and threw a second barrage that bounced off the first then a third. Stern never saw it coming, we she did but at the last moment. She couldn't react or scream, the first Kunai slit her throat causing her to gurgle up blood, the second impacted her right eye destroying it, and the third slammed into pelvis and cutting open her Uterus. Her eyes rolled back a second later and her body hit the ground dead. The kunai in her eye and uterus were forced deeper inside from her falling onto them, the tip of the Kunai were seen out the otherside.
The Guards all started to panic and Ebony vanished in the chaos, he arrived back at the Underground center and smirked. "Mission Successful, Fame +10, Slaver Hope -200, Slave Hope +100!" He walked over to a empty corner na dgot to work
The Fireteams all charged into the Theatre and grimaced, Velvet was shot, Steelhooves was unable to shoot and Calamity was using cover to shoot at the other Rangers. The Fireteam all charged in and opened fire on the SteelRangers, they weren't expecting it and soon found themselves overwhelmed. Pear shot through the eye pieces of the Steel Rangers killing them instantly.
Elder Blueberry Sabre was handcuffed by one of the Fireteam members, "Where is Cottage Cheese!"
"He retreated when he heard the Atrium door was under attack-"
The Fireteam member slammed Blueberry's face into the reinforced steel platform, "I want real answers not your bullshit excuse, we lost two good ponies to your group. Now start talking or i'll break more than just few bones."
Blueberry started to sweat, this earth pony had a crazed looked in his eyes, and she knew he meant every word. "Fine! He went to Stable 29 supposedly there was a Mainframe!"
"What! Command did you hear that!"
"Aye Mate sending detachment of Spec-ops to the location, Air dropped."
The Earth Pony stallion nodded, "Good, that means I can actually fulfill my promise to you, time to see how much pain it takes to hear you scream."
"Wait Wha-" Her sentence was cut off by a blood curdling scream as the skin at the end of her hooves were cut off by a ripper . The Stallion knocked her out, "All that info inside that brain of yours will be extracted, so don't fret, everything you know we will know."
"Isn't that a little brutal?" Cap asked arriving after giving Nova Surge to the Fireteam.
"Cap with all due respect you haven't seen brutal. This is standard procedure for actual enemies, infact all I have done so far are just superficial wounds, the hooves will heal in a week, and the bones in her snout will be easy to fix."
"Who are you?"
"Staff Sergeant Lunar Spectrum of Luna's Guard, I am half 'Bat pony' and Half Earth Pony, I gained the looks of a Batpony without the wings."
Cap winced, "Ouch, well where were you found?" She asked as her Team dragged off Elder Blueberry Sabre.
"Fillydelphia SSC HQ, it's sad, I was born in that town, raised in it too. Moved to Canterlot, the war started, Pointed Luna's guard after her sister was nearly killed that first time. Joined the war after Machintosh, and used my knowledge with detective work to find many criminals, I was supposed to be sent to hoofington to deal with that fake Angel of Death."
Cap giggled, "Did you ever hear what the crew of the Angel of Death said back then, it was hilarious."
Spectrum grinned, "If I remember what the Pilot said, 'That damn bitch is about to find out who the real Angel of Death is when I fire 105mm round straight up her arse and send her to the damn moon!' I believe the crew started to laugh but the Pilot was close to actually doing it, he sent in what... 30 request to be deployed in Hoofington to 'search' for the Fake Angel of Death, in reality he wanted to blow her sky high."
Cap smile grew, "Really I didn't hear that."
"I was on their base when they sent in the first request but I left around the 3rd but I got the message quick."
"So why was the pilot in charge of the Operation?"
"Because this Pilot used Autopilot and his Co-pilot to go to the Gun deck and open fire."
"That's... would get him fired."
"Yeah they threatened to remove him but on his first mission he alone descimated the enemy with those same guns, his crew were injured an the Co-pilot had to fly, he took his chance and opened fire."
"How many?"
"Three hundred."
The ponies in ear shot all widened their eyes, "Wa-wait what! Three hundred zebra dead by one pony?!"
"That's why they allowed him continue, anyway anymore hostiles?"
"Negative sir, no injured either besides our KIA and Velvet. Honestly a Medic should at least have a gun, Fluttershy had one, and she even used it once, it nearly broke her spirit."
Calamity frowned, "That's why we don't give her one-"
"Didn't they teach you Medics are the literal life of the team, if they go down you all go down. That's why Medics all have weapons, Doctors don't have weapons, they dont need them they stay away from conflict. She.... She goes into combat without armor, weapons, or even a way to stay alive. She is an easy target, and a critical target, do you not understand?"
Calamity sighed, "I get ya, but, you try. I have been trying for so long and Pip just talks to a Brick wall when she does."
"She is that dense?"
"Yep."
"Damn."
"Yep."
Little Pip walked over to her Mother and she spotted her, "Where is your brother Ebony, I'm so proud of him." Pip frowned.
"Brother is busy mother." 'Only one she is happy about is Ebony, I'm not Jealous of him, i just wished move would recognize me more. Thankfully Ebony always recognized my accomplishments.'
"He was always the better on-"
"Mother shut up." It wasn't Pip who spoke, the Clone of Ebony appeared, "You don't understand what Pip went through, I think you should be more appreciative that your daughter saved you, even after all the verbal abuse you unleashed on her. Pip the Main boss is inside Fillydelphia, he has killed stern."
"Fillydelphia! Stern! How, why, when!" The Clone vanished before she could get an answer. "Damn you Ebony, always leaving mid-question."
"General Pip we have to get you to HMS Hoofington, Its Ebony's ship but you are in command for the moment." Cap told her.
"I'm not good with strategies!"
"We need decisions, the Strategies will come from the Strat team."
"What about my friends?"
"They will be taking Stable 29, it will be part of the Applejack Rangers branch of the PU, Or Peacekeeper Union."
"What even is Peacekeeper?" Little Pip subtly hit the record device.
"Hm how to explain the Peacekeeper, we aren't afront to war, but we don't indulge in it unless against evil. We support anypony that comes to us, be it civilian or just a random military group in need of help, we do expect compensation but it doesn't not have to be cash, sometimes info will be enough. Maybe info on somepo- one who will join our group, it doesn't even have to be extremely valuable info. Life or death Situation is something we do not expect compensation for, so if a pony is dying we will heal them free of charge. To us, pony life is more important that any compensation. We fight for ponies that we protect, or any creature that wants our help, not only ponies. We support communities that do not wish to join us, but want our services, but again we expect compensation."
"What are your goals?"
"I would say world Domination but in reality, we just want to bring back an organizated government, something to defend their subjects. We want to expand and grow, helping ponies who need it. We also wish to bring all the factions under one roof, Reapers, Steel Rangers, and even the Enclave if they wish to join."
"I see, thank you for the interview!"
"Oh I knew you were recording, give that to that mare... whatever her name was."
Pip's eyes widened, "Wait wha- She vanished also! Why does everyone i know vanish Mid-conversation!
Author's Note
Akky here, sorry if the um... Grammar went downhill, it was an accident I swear. Anyway, Ooh Ebony is inside Fillydelphia, yeah that. You may wonder why I added Murky Number Seven and its cast into the story, well to be honest all the side stories are cannon in his story. In fact Original FoE is actually non-cannon, the fact is so many things are different that I have write a new story. I actually like this idea instead of having to follow guidelines for the other stories, it gives freedom to allow the story to grow easier.
Oh yeah the SSC and Stashes. The Next chapter will be all about their lore but, here are some 'spoilers' of anyone wants them, Princess Luna didn't think she could win.
The HMS Main Six and HMS Main Cities were constructs that were made to Rival HMS Luna and Celestia, Luna wanted to show that she was not the only Pony to lead Eqeuestria. She wanted to gain morale with the fact that al the Ministry mares and all the ponies inside these cities were those who helped her in the war, she could have not done it without them. The ships were all 'discontinued' but in reality were finished and stored, In fact a replacement set of Schematics of each ship was placed into a certain SSC HQ that possesed a Ship constructor. They were supposed to be Flagships but Luna denied their entrance into the fleet. Many argued that they should but Luna firmly stated they will not.
Now onto a different matter, Ebony, is Itachi but he had lost his past life memories, after gaining his status.
Hopefully this chapter will express how powerful but also how weak Ebony really is, physically he is near Deus's level, Magically he would be Near Twilight's level, and Chakra wise he would be basically an average Jonin. He is powerful but remember he lived his life without combat and is incredibly fragile, a single bullet can easily end his life.
Bye Bye!
Fallout Equestria: Reborn
Ebony walked down the tunnels of Fillydelphia Sewer, His Trench Shotty was out and he even attached a bayonet to the end. He walked down the Sewer and blinked, "SSC #1,000,000? I didn't think the numbers reached into the millions." It was a small hatch near the side of the Sewer, "Also none of the others had a sign pointing towards them, this ain't very secret." He opened the Hatch and dropped inside, he landed on the ground with a thud and the hatch automatically closed above him, seemingly vanishing. "Well..... That's odd..." 'Odd, that's almost Impossible.'
He looked around and saw the words on the wall, Secret Sector Command, The SSC letters were above a combination of Celestia's and Luna's Flag. "What? That's not how the Logo looked." If he remembered correctly the SSC Logo was the Equestrian flag with the Main 6 and Luna's cutie marks around the SSC words.
"What is the place?"
"Hi!" Ebony jumped, he turned his head, and almost screamed, it was a pink earth pony mare with a cotton candy pink mane and tail with blue eyes, "What did I scare you?~ Hi I'm Pinkiebot!"
"Pinkiebot? Are you a-"
"Yep! I'm a creation modeled after Ministry Mare Pinkie Pie!"
"Wh-who made you?"
"Oh, that's Classified!" She giggled, "I can give you a hint, We were molded after Sweetiebot!"
Ebony frowned, "Gross."
"It may seem that way but it's nice. It's better than having nothing to do for... 200 or something years."
Ebony sighed, "How many others are there?"
"The whole group! Even The Princesses, but we are lonely."
"Can you tell me about... um, Secret Sector Command?"
"Oh That's not Classified, so yeah! Secret Sector Command was first made by Princess Celestia months before Littlehorn, It was supposed to be a Command Center for all ongoing and outgoing radio signals, and it was supposed to be used to ensure Zebra never got into contact with Military radio. It was never in use, Luna then took the throne and changed the name from Secret Sector Command to Secret Storage Centers. They stripped the base of all radio devices and placed excess parts, food, weapons, ammo, and even vehicles inside the Centers. Their purpose was just in case Equestria fell to Zebra kind, the Country would have a potential backup. They contained the supplies for a whole army and they were spread across the entire country and many other countries, Supposedly Luna even established some inside Zebra lands, but their numbers only reached 12, but these 12 had the biggest weapons."
Ebony was overwhelmed by the knowledge, 'Luna thought she would lose and made a backup procedure?'
"Many countries have Luna's SSC bases, some have failed Prototypes and Military Equipment thought to have been lost."
"What about the Scecretes Stashes?"
"The Stashes? Oh, those weren't secret! Almost everypony knew about them, they were made to store spare parts that the government didn't need at the moment and some were used to store supplies for a possible invasion."
"What is this one made for?"
"Oh that's easy, us!"
"Wow."
"Yep!"
Ebony followed Pinkie and arrived at the recharge station, "What happened?"
"Pinkie was the only one confirmed to be... um..."
"Dead?"
"Yeah! Her heart Monitor went off right before the systems went down, so I was released but the Systems have not confirmed the death of any pony else."
"Most likely because there were no systems. The Energized Magical Pulse likely knocked out all magic systems."
Pinkie frowned, "Makes sense I suppose."
"Anyway, how do we get them out of there?"
"Uh, we don't. I'm the only one that can be released until we know who is deceased."
"I know 3 of the Main 6 are KIA, Pinkie, Rarity, and Applejack. Twilight is Unconfirmed, Rainbow Dash is 'Alive', and Fluttershy is 'Alive'. Luna is KIA, and Celestia is KIA."
"How do you know all of this."
"Let's just say wherever there is a camera I can see."
"Hacker!"
"Yep!"
Ebony looked at the pods and smiled, "Hey Grandma... I know this ain't the real you, but... I think It works." He looked at Applebot, "Kinda sad I never got to meet the Real you, but I think you were an awesome mare."
He looked around, "So there is nothing else here but just you ponies?"
"Yep! Now awesome stuff besides the best stuff!"
Ebony pulled out a Magical Teleportation Device, he attached it to the ground, "Okay I have to leave but my group should be able to accept you inside our base."
"We can't leave unless EC-1101 or The new Owner of the SSC allows it."
"I am the New Owner, and I allow it."
"Yay! Freedom!"
Inside Fluttershy Medical Center a set of blue slitted eyes opened after 200 years, "W-what happened."
"Miss Flare, you are finally awake."
Flare looked around and noticed a Pony doctor, "What happened Doc, how long as I out?"
"As long as most of us have, 200 and something years."
Flare yelped and looked at the doctor with wide eyes, "What! 200 years! That's... way too long, Mom and Dad are dead then."
"Join the massive boat, it's sad but true, most of us lost our family. We were told we would be frozen until either they needed us or the war ended. It ended but... not the way we wanted."
"Huh, what do you mean?"
"The Balefire bombs were launched, and the government collapsed."
Flare started to cry, "T-this is horrible!" The Doctor remained stoic already past the phase of grief but still hit hard by the fact that a Dragon was crying.
Flare was an Amber scaled dragon with white spines and blue-slitted eyes, she had blue-slitted eyes and wore a black and white Equestria Army Uniform. She was one of the Youngest Dragons, only 17, she had a pony father and a Dragon mother. She joined the Equestrian army at the age of 16, doing minor support around a military base considering she was too young to join in the fighting. Luna heard of her and pulled her away from the base and placed her inside a SSC.
"Where is Princess Luna, she asked me to be here?"
The Doctor sighed, "Sorry Kid, she's dead."
"Whose in charge then?"
"Ebony Blade, General of the Peacekeeper Union."
"Where is he?"
"We suspect he is inside Fillydelphia this very moment, dealing with a Slave Organization."
"Slave Organizations, what else is wrong with the world!" Her tears didn't stop and seemed to increase, the Doctor sighed.
"A whole bunch of things kid, a whole bunch. We need to do some physical therapy to ensure nothing is wrong."
Ebony walked through the # One Million SSC and realized Pinkiebot may have been lying, 'This place is just way too big to hold only a few Bots.' He looked around and spotted a small crate, he walked over to it and pushed the lid off the top. Inside were plates of white metal that looked almost identical to Starmetal, 'Is this-'
"So you found the secret of this Facility." Ebony spun around and stared into Pinkiebot's sad eyes, "This is what Equesria was storing."
"What is it?"
"White Starmetal, a purified version of actual Starmetal, this is what happens when you fuse Starmetal and Moon Dust."
"Huh, I thought those two made an explosion."
Pinkiebot laughed, "It is, but White Starmetal is what happens when you fuse the two, instead of throwing them into each other."
"How.... how?"
"Oh, it's pretty impossible, Luna and Celestia had to do it together. Neither could do it alone, and each time they made a plate they were exhausted, but they kept making them. They hoped the White Starmetal would be done in time to save Equestria, 200k plates later they realized it was impossible and gave up, that was a day before the Bombs fell. Lunabot and Celestiabot would have finished if they were out."
"Where did she get such a large supply?"
"Hoofington is made of Starmetal, she just got some of the supplies from Hoofington and used it to her advantage."
"That's why Hoofington core is covered in Enervation. Hn, well what to do now." His eyes glazed over for a second before he blinked, "Sunny Smiles and Silver Storm, My troop should be here soon to pick your ponies up." Ebony disappeared in a Teleport.
Ebony appeared inside the Sewers of Fillydelphia again and ran to his Radio room. "I have to get Sea Green to help Sunny Smiles and Silverstorm." He tapped the radio a few times with his hooves, 'I am not sure how to fix this.' It soon activated and started blaring a warning message, "Ahh!" He jumped back and looked at the Radio. He looked at his hooves and saw a flashback of the blood that coated his fur and skin.
He pulled out multiple images of his ships, pre-war. They looked new and fresh, the wood didn't look as rotted as it was now, and the metal was pristine with minor rust across its hull.
"I need more boats, but... I might have to find something else to do for a while. I need Pre-war Modern Airsupport, Most of my planes are actually from before the Ministries even got involved. The Military still used them for the war but most were discontinued and sent to the SSCs for storage in case the war got worse. I doubt the Government sent away Raptors or even Thunderheads but they made contingency plans, so they have had to right?" He stared at most of the ships, 'Most of these were made before the War ramped up, but they repurposed the old models and used them for a while. Only Hoofigton and Twilight are Modern versions. With Hoofington being sent away by Luna, and Twilight never being finished on the crew quarters, it was sealed away. We need the HMS Luna and HMS Celestia. We can't attack the Brotherhood, we could pull Luna from the sea and drag her but Celestia is... sadly impossible to gain.'
He looked at his Pip-buck map and saw all his Ship and Owned locations, 'We can't attack any longer, Peacekeeper is being pressured by its ponies to not go offensive unless attacked first, which, I will have to disagree with. A Reactive force is always weaker than a Proactive force. We need to destroy both Red-eye and the Harbingers. I will be dealing with the Goddess personally. First, though I have to take over Fillydelphia. An I will take it over, Red-eye is actively pulling his troops from the City only leaving the Mercs.' Ebony pulled out an Old map of Fillydelphia and pulled out a partially destroyed Pencil, he started to draw the confirmed walls around Red-eye's camp. He then drew all the locations, that he remembered. He wrote down all the Slave quarters and the slave quarters.
He then made plans for the Slave rebellion, he just needed to weaken the Slaver's Morale, after all the Slavers were now alone. Red-eye would not be sending in reinforcement, he pulled out all his troops and gave a facade of supporting it. The Mercs would have been pulled out but Red-eye is no fool, doing something like this would be a sign of weakness, he wants to show no weakness. Pulling troops from the area will be his downfall though, Ebony counted all the Enemy guards, 'only a total of 50, how is this possible, the Slave population is 123, and the Slavers are severely outnumbered. The Slaves have not realized this yet likely because the Slavers have been using Intimidation Tactics to make the Slaves compliant.'
Ebony looked at his Broken blade and frowned, 'This is the blade Little Pip requested from the Monetary funds our Mother provided, made with whatever scrap metal around the Stable she could get. The Black Smith was rightfully confused, he was only used to fixing broken tools up until this point. I was so proud of her when she got it made, she even helped the Smith make the blade, to the point where she engraved the blade. It took so much abuse even during my time in the Stable. I used it for Special weapon Practice, while others used their Batons, I used my Sword.' He grabbed the Handle with his magic and pulled it from the wall, 'I can still fix you.'
The HMS Hoofington along with the Fleet moved towards all the Major Sea side Cities, Little Pip realized how much power his Brother had at his hoofs when she saw the fleet. She was like her Brother, a tactical genius. Her first move was to avoid Fillydelphia and focus on all the Major Cities across Equestria. If they take these cities they can quickly spread outward, HMS Rarity and HMS Fluttershy were with HMS Golden Blood and HMS Canterlot. Fluttershy is with Golden Blood and Rarity with Canterlot. The Four ships went their own way, with Canterlot and Rarity headed towards Anchorage. HMS Goldenblood and Fluttershy were headed toward the Peacekeeper's New Central Command, Baltimare. HMS Trottingham along with most of the fleet was diverted back to HMS Twilight.
Hoofington, Trottingham, Manehattan, and Baltimare were all on the East Coast, far from the with Hoofington being near Southern Zebra-owned territory, and Trottingham being the furthest north. Manehattan is the second north, and Baltimare is almost at the very center between Hoofingting and Trottingham.
Las Pegasus, Anchorage, Applewood, Little Horn, and a few others were on the West. Not many cities were located inland but two stood out. Canterlot and Raginhorn, Raginhorn was a City that mass-produced Aircraft from the beginning stages of the war but the City was mostly Abandoned by the end of the War. Raginhorn was within the Pleasant Valley area but outside any of the major locations.
HMS Hoofington made its way to Baltimare from Fillydelphia, Hoofington would join up with HMS Golden Blood and Fluttershy there. The Support ship would start to generate the 16"/50-caliber shells in mass quantities. The HMS Hoofington would use its own Balefire Reactor to supply power to both ships and go into Physical Standby, where its weapons would only be used on ship-to-ship targets.
Ebony was still planning the takeover for Fillydelphia, he looked at the plans and frowned. "It can't be this simple..." He stared at the plans, "Only 50 guards, this would be far too simple. Something is wrong, I mean yeah Red-eye pulled his forces out, even his Alicorns, but why does it feel like I'm missing something?" He scanned his notes, "I don't think I am, Griffions would be taken down by... Oh..." He scowled, "I forgot the Griffions, how are we going to take them down."
His eyes lit up and grinned, "That would work."
Meanwhile, Flare was escorted through Fluttershy Medical Center, now completely owned by the Peacekeepers. Stable 99, Stable 90, and Weather Monitoring Station were all under Peacekeeper control. Chapel and Megamart were within Peacekeeper Protection services, basically free of charge.
Flare looked at the Doctor, who had led her towards the Air transport, "Look kid, to be honest with you, you are too young to be part of this military unit. But, you can provide help differently. We need recruiters for our military, most are too busy getting actual training, Ebony had made the most difficult training they would need for each branch of the Military."
"I... I can do that."
"We will have to deploy guards with you, We can't have an underage do something that has even the slightest level of risk, without someone guarding them."
"That's okay, I wanna help!"
The Doctor smiled, "You would have to get permission from Commander Retort, he's a tough nut to crack, but General Sea Green gave me a letter giving you his permission."
Flare giggled, "Yes!"
Fireteam Nova Led by Crackshot and Ripper both sat inside the Mess Hall, almost none of the team even touched their food, and this wasn't a new occurrence. "Why did we have to lose Blaze Stump?" Rust asked quietly, the two were very close and her violent passing put him in a pit of Depression.
"This happens, with how you are acting Rust, I doubt you lost any friends to war. I lost, 12 friends and 2 lovers." Silent grunted, "I became numb to loss for a long while, and became consumed in the war efforts. This is the first time in a long while that I felt anything..."
Crackshot wiped a trail of tears from his eyes, "I... I lost my twin sister, we both were deployed in the war, in the same platoon." He chuckled, "We were a Tank Gunner and Tank Machine gunner, ironic. We were having a rest period, far away from the battle lines, but... enemies can be anywhere. She crawled out of the tank to get some fresh air and possibly go to the filly's room, she was gone... for a lot longer than she should have been. Instantly we got the tank running and followed the direction she went. We found her an hour later. She was killed by a Zebra, possibly raped while she was alive, and her body was eaten by some wild dogs." He started to sob, "I became consumed by so much rage that I along with my crew hunted down those responsible, We found them quickly. It was a Slaughter."
Ripper sighed, "I don't have a big sob story, I was a criminal before the War started. My crime was Assault with a deadly weapon. I was drunk at the time and possibly drugged, but one of the Recruiters saw promise in me and suggested I could stay in jail for years, or serve my sentence in the Military. I chose the latter, I started to like the Military too, it had rules and punishments, but also rewards. I strived to be the best Soldier I could be, I joined the Navy Marines then I was suggested to join Special Forces aboard the Luna Dream led by Vice General Frost-Mane. I accepted, but... I never actually arrived. Something happened and I suppose I was placed in a Medical Cryo-pod."
"Vice-General Frost-Mane, wasn't she convicted of going Awol before the end of the war?"
"Yes and No, She was, but no punishment would have been placed on her."
"What do you guys mean, went awol?"
"She didn't respond to Luna's orders or even her pleas to respond, Vice-General Frost-Mane was very loyal to Luna, I don't think she went awol, I think something else happened. We found some remnants of The Luna Dream near Little Horn, It was purely by accident but we spotted a large crater in the ground along with the sheet of metal with the ship's name on it. So we assume the Ship went down when the Bombs fell, but it doesn't explain what happened before."
"The ship was loaded with State of the Art Cryo-pods, and there were orders that put the crew in lockdown. It's possible someone hacked their commands and sent the ship in Lockdown, but, only Celestia and Luna could do such a thing.... no..."
"Fuck..." Everypony's eyes widened, "We just discovered a Mystery."
"Discovered what?" Little Pip along with her team walked into the Mess hall, Steelhooves were missing. She noticed the tear marks on their face, "Oh..."
"No, we discovered that Celestia plotted against Equestria, taking away a Vital force in the Equestrian War, Vice-General Frost-Mane."
Little Pip blinked for a second before she turned around and calmly walked out of the mess hall. "I have to report this." Calamity stared at Little Pip for a second, "That was some pretty odd behavior. Well, it is pretty odd to hear a Princess was possibly a Traitor."
"We have to find the Luna Dream! Luna would have made Contingency plans, a possible Second ship, and we know about the SSC now one could have been inside an SSC!"
"That is the thing, we have found an opened SSC, it was supposed to contain the newest version of the Luna Dream, but... it was Empty." General Sea Green along with Little Pip entered the Mess hall, "We also looked at the remnants of the ship and found it, scrap metal now. Someone gained access to the ship and used it against the Enclave, it was a successful but costly endeavor. We do have the Ship's Schematics that were left inside the SSC, but... we can't make it."
"Okay, but we want to find out what happened to the crew, Ponies like Frost-mane are very important, and Major Firestorm is exactly what we need."
"We have found some idea on where they could be, HMS Trottingham, found a weird spot in their Radar. It was a Ship but ponies lived there in great numbers."
"Anything odd?"
"Yeah, the settlement was entirely self-reliant, no records from any nearby settlement suggested a town was floating on the water. This means the Town made and produced its food, water, and even defense mechanisms."
"What do we do then?"
"HMS Rarity and Canterlot will be passing that area, but they will take a month before they get to that location. We could take you by air, but then you would have to find a fuel supply and a landing area. Solid Moon is available, but it's still being fixed."
"How is Blackjack?"
Captain Sea Green turned around and saw a frantic-looking Rampage, she was recruited to the Peacekeeper when Big Daddy sent her here as an Offering of friendship. "She awoke a day ago, but she is still recovering from her ordeal, she was quite resistant when she saw most of her body made of metal. It was quite the normal reaction when she saw Doctor Morning Glory and Extreme Demo P-21 she calmed down and we explained what happened. She was furious about being injured in such a manner, but she got over it quickly. She and her Team are making their way here as we speak Rampage. How is Stonewing, sorry Gorgon."
Rampage sighed feeling relieved, "At least that mission isn't a failure, Gorgon is doing good under your leadership, it seems even Deus accepted your offer also. Sanguine has offered to join." She scowled when she stated that name, "Please say I can kill him."
"If he turns Traitor yes, otherwise no, he will be used to first his family back and then provide knowledge on Project Chimera, Steel Pony, Horizons, and so on. We need Chimera not for the military, well not exactly, We want to use a more organic method of limb replacement but find a way to bypass the Use of Flux. Steel ponies would be used for both Medical and Military purposes. Horizons is something we must contain and prevent the use of."
"It seems so much stuff is happening so quickly," Pip muttered.
Sea Green grinned, "That's because Ebony thinks ahead, he wanted to recruit Deus, already recruited Gorgon, and wanted Sanguine on a leash. The Projects were a Joint idea, they are useful if used properly."
Pip tilted her head, "My brother tries to come up with multiple plans huh?"
Sea Green frowned slightly, "Yeah, sometimes forgetting to eat for days on end, and sometimes even canceling missions he chose to take."
"Yeah, that sounds like him, even in the Stable, if some crime was committed he didn't eat until either he solved it, or I got into his head and made him." Pip sighed.
Pip looked to Calamity, Velvet, and Xenith, "What do you suggest Calamity, have to been to Baltimare?"
Calamity shifted slightly, "Once, not the smartest time in my life, it was right after I left the...yeah. I battled against what seemed like an endless number of Raiders for possibly a day. I soon found these babies-" He tapped his battle saddle rifles," -and started to use them against the raiders, still I was outnumbered and ran a day later.
"Okay... that's not very useful."
"Sorry Pip, I tried, after I found those raiders I promised myself I would return. I never got the chance. I do know some of the Major landmarks, and if the raider Bases were not moved I know their location."
Sea Green looked to Fireteam Alpha, "I know you guys are still mourning the loss of Blaze Stump, but we have a new Team Member, her name is Royal Spectre. She's a Bat pony who worked directly under Princess Luna as her Private Detective. She is a Trained Police Officer, and we have given her minor Navy Dragon training. She learned quickly and her will is unbreakable."
Crackshot sighed, "Get her ready, we will be deploying to Baltimare soon. General Pip, will we be under your Command?"
"Yes, how has Homage been setting into the new Radio Station?"
"It's not new, we demanded that the Twilight Society allow us into their town or we shell the place to oblivion, which we would never do."
"An empty threat then?"
"No, what they have done is almost worse than the raiders they have within their territory, they sat back and allowed it to happen. We would have marched into Manehattan and conquered Tempony Tower, we do not fuck around. We would not have killed anyone, but punishments for the leaders would have been severe."
Fireteam Sirrea from the HMS Pinkie Pie were Masters in their fields and at least Experts in others. They were considered some of the best Soldiers during the war, Special forces is what they were called.
Master Sergeant Talon, is one of the few Griffions in the Equestria Armed Forces. He was what the Talon Company is named after, he is the 3rd Talon, and his sons made the Talon Company. Specialist Azure Skull a Dragon with the unique genetic trait of a smaller dragon, joined the Equestrian Armed Forces out of the want of battle. Private Stinger is a Changeling who voluntarily joined the Equestrian Military after he was banished from his Hive, he was always a tremendous help in capturing any rouge Changeling groups. Private Great Horn is a Yak he is one of the few who even considered leaving their country and the only one in the Equestrian army. Last is Specialist Fire Stone a Pegasus sniper who was called 'Headshot Deadshot' Every shot she made was a 'headshot' and none of her victims even hit the ground alive.
MSgt. Talon looked at his crew, he was proud of them, something that was rare. Talon was very elderly, he looked like he was easily in his 50s, but his body and posture were one of a veteran warrior. All his limbs were replaced with Mechanical counterparts, even his heart and most of his vital organs were mechanical. He was accepted for Steel Pony enhancements by Luna, he signed the waiver and he gained the modifications. Spec. Azure Skull, was Assault and Medic, he looked like he would be 200 or so years old, but again he looked younger. Pr. Stinger was not very intimidating looking, he was not big, or muscular. He looked slim and skinny, but trust the crew's accounts. Pr. Stinger was a monster when he got into a Combat Trance, he took down almost all the crew in a Team V 1 battle. Pr. Great Horn was the Muscle and Heavy weapons, but he was also skilled in explosives and even Medic.
Spec. Fire Stone was a slim-looking Pegasus but she had very defined muscle mass, her weapon was a 50.cal Barret and an Anti-Aircraft 30mm cannon. She was a dead shot with both, and she frequently switched sides of her gun.
MSgt Talon smirked, "Crew, today is a new mission, the Boss sent us to Marefort. Our mission is to Rain down Firey death from above with our new big guns." He started to fake pray, "Thank you King Ebony for the new toys you give us filthy commoners. Honestly, though, these weapons are quite an eye-sore." He looked at the Blocky and unrefined 103mm cannon rudimentary attached to the hull of the VTOL they were inside. "It makes sense though."
"They work yes?" Pr. Great Horn grunted out, "If work, they do good."
"You are not Stupid Great Horn, speak normally." Azure Skull ordered.
"I will not."
"Whatever."
Spec. Fire Stone stared at the cannon with disdain, "Someone used different weapon ideas to make that weapon. they had no clear weapon Identity."
Pr. Stinger as usual sat in silence as his crew bickered and talked. "You do know you can talk with us right?" Stinger looked to Talon, and the old Griffin smiled softly.
"Maybe, but I still don't feel welcome yet..."
"You didn't do anything wrong, kid."
"My species did."
"So did mine, Azure's, and even Great Horns"
"I know but... I'm just not good at socializing. Where is Sergeant Zeph?"
"The Zebra? Oh yeah, the New Blood, he's with Fireteam Romeo, helping 'Pink Eyes'. He should be able to join us soon."
"Good. How far from the LZ?
"Marefort is only 12 Klicks out, Our first targets are Crimson Hoof, I want them Desimated. How much support do we have?"
"One Platoon of Infantry and Drop Paratroopers. We have three drop tanks, 2 APCs, and one set of Military Transport Vehicles. Our Air support includes 1 Fighter Jet and 12 Fighter Planes, but we have to make a landing strip before they can arrive. We also possess Air drop planes that will only drop the supplies and return to our Hoofington Command."
"So, we have the Air, and ground, what about water?"
"There are no rivers deep enough to have any ships bigger than a small Patrol, not like HMS Trottingham."
"Great, what about Artillery?"
"We will be getting some very soon Private." Stinger nodded his head.
"LZ in sight, prepare for drop off!" The Earth pony pilot shouted over the intercom, "Parachutes are located behind my seat. Drop in 10, 9, 8.-" The back hatch of the plane opened letting the pressurized air escape.
"Get ready boys, today is a good day to bleed!"
"5, 4, 3, 2."
Everyone prepared either their Parachute or their wings, "See you all on the ground fuckers!" Great Horn grinned, after all, he was the only one of the crew without wings.
"1, Go Go Go!" When the pilot said that everyone jumped from the back of the plane. Great Horn was the first followed by Talon, Stinger, Fire Stone, and Azure Skull.
Great Horn dived towards the ground uncaring about standard free fall procedure, he pulled the Chute 300 feet from the ground Everyone else landed on the ground seconds before him.
"Good?" Talon asked, everyone nodded. "Weapons check?" He checked his Zebra model Revolving rifle and revolver.
"Weapons ready." Fire Stone, Great Horn, and Stinger spoke in unison. While Azure Skull nodded his head.
"Good. Time to cause some chaos!" The LZ was a small prairie area, and the VTOL they were once inside disappeared behind the Treeline. They had no radio contact besides themselves, the VTOL was returning to the Temporary Base only 20 miles away from Marefort. "Okay, boys today we join the Fight. Our mission is simple, to arrive at Marefort and act as simple Mercs for hire, We will be wearing these cloaks." He pulled out Kevlar cloaks, "Boss developed these for his under-cover stealth Spies. Our weapons must be safe but do not fret, we can keep our guns. Marefort is 2 miles out. Move Out!"
"Got it, Boss!" The Crew all nodded.
Talon and the Team arrived at Marefort, "It looks peaceful..." Stinger whispers, "But... looks are deceiving." Stinger transforms into a small Unicorn stallion. "Better?"
"Good disguise Stinger."
"Thank's boss."
The crew walked into Marefort and sighed, it was very poor. It was almost impossible to see anything of Value, the only thing important, was the guns the ponies had. The mares all looked at them confused, 'Only mares. Someone is intentionally weakening this place, taking the Stallions away and in turn, removing their chances of rebellion.' Talon grumbled mentally. "Alright Crew, today we will find a position to form our Forward Base. Next, we will find a good location to scout out the Crimson Hoof."
Fire Stone grunted and looked at her Pipbuck, "From the Pre-fallout Maps state, there is an old Equestrian outpost not even 10 miles from here, it should have been raided or even conquered at this point."
Talon shook his head, "We can't risk being found by the Crimson hoof, we may have the guns, but we don't have the ammo."
Stinger rubbed his chin, "Why not take a nearby cave there are two in this vicinity, and they are near an old road we could easily convert to a landing pad."
"Good Idea Private Stinger, we will move out that way."
Team Sierra moved out, heading for their new base.
Ebony was watching the Red Eye's griffons as they prepared a new leader. "This is not going the way I assumed, the new leader is far worse than Stern but also weaker." His name was Claw, and he was well known for being very harsh on any slave under his control, which is why Stern placed him in command of the Severe Punishments. Ebony had to kill him before he caused any damage but he was basically out of offensive options, he only had 2 Kunai and 1 Shuriken, and his blade was broken. The weapons he had been collecting were far too loud, he needed a weapon for a quick and silent method of killing.
He glared at Claw, 'My best Method would be to use Tsukiyomi and torture him for years, but that would only make him far more willing to kill slaves. Amaterasu while viable, is very distinctive with my abilities. Kotoamtsukami is only useful in certain situations and Combat is not one of them.' He looked over and spotted Lucky Number Seven, 'I also can't be too brutal if I want to gain allies. To make matters worse, my faction is spread far too thin to give me any support at the moment.' He sighed, 'While I could go loud it would draw too much attention to me and possibly even the slaves, what would Naruto do?' He blinked as he heard that name, 'I have no idea who that even is, why did I just say that name? Forget it, I need to focus.'
He disappeared into the shadows needing to prepare for the attack he wanted to plan.
Fallout Equestria: Reborn
The Secret of SSC 1,231, Cause of Hope
His hooves landed on the ground and he grunted, it was a long fall but it was bearable, he looked up and blinked. "W-what?" It was an amazing sight, before him was not one, not two, or even three, but 12 Massive Battleships, and a singular Super Aircraft carrier. "What!"
On the side of the Super Aircraft Carrier was the title HMS Twilight, and it was easily larger than the HMS Luna, but then again it's an Aircraft carrier. The Next biggest ship was the HMS Rainbow, which was slightly smaller than HMS Luna, Third was the HMS Applejack which was a 3/4ths the size of the Luna it was a battleship, fourth was the HMS Pinkie a battleship the same size as the Applejack. Fifth & Sixth was the HMS Rarity and Fluttershy equal to the HMS Celestia but they were Support ships. Seventh was the HMS Golden Blood which was a Command Ship the size of HMS Celestia, Eighth was the HMS Spike, which was a Defensive Nuclear Submarine, it was easily the size of the Rainbow. Ninth was HMS Canterlot, which was a larger Command ship, easily the size of the HMS Luna. The tenth was the HMS Hoofington which was a fucking mess, it was easily the size of HMS Canterlot, but it was made to be as Futuristic looking as possible, it was also a Kind of Sub Battleship hybrid.
Eleventh was the HMS Manehattan which seemed to be a Military Transport Vessel, able to carry hundreds of vehicles of all different kinds, equal to Celestia. Twelveth was the HMS Trottingham, which was a larger version of a patrol boat.
This was a fleet of boats, each one had their own weakness and strengths. None could do everything, but together they were an unstoppable team.
"Why hello there!" A new voice made Ebony jump, he turned around and saw a Mister Handy that looked darker shade than the first. "My name is #1! I was commanded by Princess Celestia with Princess Luna's agreement to give ownership of our Military caches to anyone who arrived that was sane and perfect for leadership. You are perfect for the role, General- Checking biological signature."
Suddenly alarms started to go off inside the Facility, "Command Transfer complete, welcome Descendant of Ministry Mare Applejack. Please speak your name."
Ebony nodded, "Ebony Blade."
"Name input complete, welcome to Command Ebony Blade. Would you like to release the Stasis Ponies?"
Ebony's eyes widened, "Yes Please."
"Rodger, Life support deactivated and reviving protocols initiated."
"Wow, this is Amazing, what does this Facility have other than these ships?"
1 bounced in the air, "Since you are in command we have multiple Prototype vehicles and a singular Cloudship. We also have around a couple thousand suits of power armor that have been constructed over the 200-year period."
"Jeez, do you have any land Vehicles?"
"Yes, many."
"Cool." He looked around and winced, this underground facility was truly massive, it was wide and long as fuck. It had to be, it contained multiple massive ships."
A Pegasus Stallion wearing a Navy uniform stumbled into the room, "Crikey, I feel Bodgy."
Ebony looked over, "You alright sir?"
"Aye, Aye I'm just fine lad. Are you the new Captain?"
"Captain, I was supposed to be the General."
The Stallion blinked and face palmed, "My mistake lad, my name is Captain Seagreen! I am the Designated Captain of the HMS Twilight. My ship is the only ship with a crew at the moment. The rest are likely unmanned or even need of minor repairs before seaworthy."
"Only ship with a crew?"
"Yep, what they didn't teach that in SSC School?
Ebony frowned, "Do you have an idea for how long you have been under?"
"A year at most," Seagreen muttered confused.
"Two hundred years."
"Crikey!" Seagreen actually turned far greener than a Green stallion should look, he swayed on his hooves and looked sick. He sat down, "My family, this is Bloody bad."
"Sorry man, even though all the Princesses are Dead, I'm a descendant of Applejack if that helps."
"That helps some, how is the world?"
"Ruins, chaos, and violence. The War ended only for a new one to start now we are fighting each other."
"What should we do then, we are Sailors and Soldiers."
Ebony smiled, "That's why I came here to rebuild what was lost, first I need an army. Will you join me save this world and maybe see some action?"
Seagreen frowned and looked at his hooves, "Let's do it, What do you want our large crew of Ten thousand to do?"
Ebony's jaw dropped and he smiled, "Ten Thousand, how many do you think could be Captains?"
"Four maybe 6 if we get them some training, the HMS Twilight would then have to spare around a thousand crew for each vessel, giving everyone an equal 1,427 crew for each ship, this would be perfect for each ship. Though chosen wisely the crew on the Celestia will be mostly all pilots with maybe 12 engineers. This will be perfect for a static vessel, no captain, a few cooks, a few armorers, pilots, and Plane mechanics."
Ebony nodded, "I want the HMS Spike on major patrol detail, HMS Trottingham as the minor Patrol, HMS Rainbow, Applejack, Pinkie, and Goldenblood on Defense detail, and of course the HMS Twilight on Air duty. I want you to captain the HMS Golden Blood after we make static fall."
Seagreen nodded, "It will take a week but, we will send a Vertibuck to your location to pick you up when we get her set up."
"Got it, also be know I own the Prototype Stealth Tank."
Ebony landed next to his Tank, and crawled inside the back, "System!"
The Tank beeped and activated, Ebony felt a sting in the back of his neck as the tank connected to his brain. He appeared inside the white space. "What did you find Computer?"
Pictures all across Equestria appeared, "Hack Successful, Constant broadcast is now initiated."
"Keep eyes on Blackjack and her crew, along with Pip and any of her friends. Also keep constant eyes on any ponies that we could recruit, no matter their situation." Ebony relaxed, "Forward, we have to head back to the Fluttershy Medical Center."
"Rodger."
Ebony exited the tank and walked towards the Fluttershy Medical Center, Black Jack had picked up Glory hours ago and now is headed towards Fluttershy Medical Center. Ebony has to make a deal with Blackjack to give him access to Steelpony.
He needed Steelpony for his future plan.
He arrived at the Pony Pods and just stared at them waiting for Black Jack to arrive, most of the traps were active but none of the bots were going to kill anyone now.
He waited and waited until finally the Unconcious Blackjack arrived, the bots carried her in, the strapped her to the table. "Enough." Ebony grunted out, "They are not the Enemies kids, make sure they all arrive here."
He waited again until Blackjack finally awoke and tested the straps, "Sorry about the rough treatment, I am still trying to fix what those feather brain idiots did, no offense to any Pegasus of course."
"Who are you and why do you have me strapped down!" She tried to use her magic but the inhibitor ring stopped her, she again pulled at the straps.
"Just in case you tried to kill me, or harm me. I will release them." Ebony flexed his magic causing the Straps to unlatch and detach, "Sorry again about the Robots treatment, the children here have control over the system. I have been trying to fix it after I realized what happened, I succeeded."
"Oh, really then why did they make that trapped clock!"
"Past actions on their part, I have been busy so I couldn't really clean up all their mess, forgive me."
"Why are you even here talking to me!"
Ebony sighed, "Calm down, I am here for one reason, I need Project Steelpony, mainly to fix these kids."
"Why should I give you access to any Projects?" Ebony sighed, something he didn't like, questions.
"Fine, Project Steelpony is used to recreate artificial limbs, organs, and even upgrades, the reason I need them is for my Organization to produce Synthetic parts to fix these children. Maybe others if we can produce them regularly without any complications. My name is Ebony Blade, I am the General of the Fleet of Ex Equestrian Ships, we are trying to give the Wasteland our support slowly but surely."
"Okay? How do I give access?"
Ebony smiled and connected his Pip-buck to Blackjacks, "Say aloud, Access given to General Ebony Blade for the continuation of Project Steelpony."
Blackjack nodded, "Access given to General Ebony Blade for the Continuation of Project Steelpony!"
Ebony's eyes widened as filed started to copy into his Pip-buck, 'EC-1101 is coping into my System, there is no files called Ghost, or even Echo, So that means the Dealer is not in my system.'
Blackkjack's Pipbuck beeped, "Access granted, transferring partial command to Descendant of Ministry Mare Applejack from Descendant of Twilight Sparkle." Blackjack's eyes widened at the last line, "Holy Shit, I'm related to Twilight!"
'Damn, that wasn't supposed to show that yet!' Ebony sighed, "Yes you are a Descendant of Twilight, as I am of Applejack, If you ever need my help or even Airsupport give me a call, oh and just FYI these children are going to be airlifted out of here, maybe... 3 days from now?" Ebony was about to walk away but stopped, "I... I changed my mind, if you need heavy support of the Stealth Tank, give me a message." Ebony winked at Blackjack just before he vanished in thin air. Seconds later P-21 and Morning Glory all entered the room, looking around for any threats.
"What happened Black Jack?"
Blackjack grinned, "We have some help just in case a situation goes downhill, also P-21 I found out who saved us at Boneyard."
Ebony landed next to his Tank, "Stealth Field Activate, head towards Megamart, Unit headed alone." Ebony flew up and headed towards Megamart again with his stealth field. He arrived at his apartment and lay down.
He waited for his Tank to arrive, when he gained the message his Tank had entered the Area he got up and walked out of his apartment. He looked around and instantly noted U-21, a few Raiders, and the one and only Deus. Ebony grinned, he tapped on Deus's shoulder, "Excuse me, sir, you dropped this." Ebony handed Deus a note and just vanished into the crowd of ponies that didn't notice anything.
Deus read the note and his mechanical eyes widened then narrowed, "He knows who I am." He dropped the note which had the word "Doof."
Ebony waited outside and just relaxed watching the stars, his eyes suddenly narrowed when a Body flew past him. His eyes morphed into his Eternal Mangekyou.
A Pair of Red skeleton arms grabbed hold of the flying body and Ebony caught them with his hooves, he rolled back and the arms let go of the pony and grabbed hold of the ground leaving minor trenches in the ground. Ebony grunted and glared with his red spinning eyes, "You okay Blackjack?"
The Hammer pony looked into his eyes and a small blush grew on her cheeks, "Cutey!" She was injured but not in a lethal position.
Ebony rolled his eyes and looked over to Deus, "I just left you and now you have to face this monster! Fuck it, I'm dealing with this myself!" Ebony dropped Blackjack and appeared in front of Deus, his hoof an inch away from his mechanical face. When his fist made contact one of two things would have happened, One Deus would have been a smear on the dirt, or Ebony was going to find out how hard a Mechanical face was. Luckily neither happened as Ebony's fist created a miniature shockwave that send Deus flying back into a stall, Ebony's Susanoo reformed over his body creating a Pony Skeleton formed around Ebony causing his long black mane to float up from the output of Chakra. "Give up Deus, fighting inside a protected town? Are you a fool?"
"Stranger, you should back off before you get hurt-"
"I would think again Deus, you have no position to do anything, you are outnumbered, outgunned, and even outwitted." Ebony smirked and he pulled out a Detanator, "Or do you think this is only for show?" An almost maniacal grin formed on Ebony's face. Deus tensed up as he felt a new feeling, things attached to his body, he looked behind him and shivered. over a thousand dollars worth of C4. "Back off Deus, She is mine, I will defend her till the world ends."
"I give, you win, but let it be known. There is now a 50k bounty on her Pipbuck and a 100k bounty if you bring her in alive to me."
Ebony grinned, "I counter this Bounty with a 200k bounty on Deus Ex Machina, and a 300k bounty on Sanguine all captured alive. My financial backing came from my own organization the Peacekeepers" Ebony teleported bags of Caps to his location. His grin widened, 'Henged Rocks, It's all a ruse, to keep Deus and Sanguine on alert.'
Deus's eyes widened and he ran from the store with his team behind him.
Ebony then frowned as he teleported the 'caps' away, 'I just showed myself, and exposed my Organization.' He looked to Blackjack and smiled, 'It was worth it though.'
Ebony used a spell to flush the Alchohol from Blackjack's blood, Blackjack soon groaned, "Oh God, I feel like Trash." Ebony chuckled and started to heal her.
"Maybe you shouldn't get into fights with the God of Machine, huh?"
"Yeah, that sound like a Good idea."
"Oh and don't worry I will be helping from now on, I suppose." Ebony noticed the Approaching ponies, all her friends, and smiled at them. "Keep this Blackjack." He dropped a Radio in Blackjack's lap, "I will be in touch." Ebony's eyes reverted to their normal green and he walked out of Megamart.
He soon disappeared as he boarded his Tank, "System."
He arrived at the White void again and looked at all the Camera Feed, "How are the Peacekeeper doing?"
The cameras showed the limited feed for the Peacekeepers via the SPP Tower in Hoofington Core. The Peacekeeper ships were moving towards a safe location outside of the Hoofington area but close enough to fire off shells and send Airsupport. "System, do we have the next location for any SSC locations?"
"Negative, unit did not find any news on the Location of the Secret Storage Center Locations."
"What! I forgot to get the info, damn! Stop. Disconnect!"
He jumped off the Tank and started to fly towards SSC 1,231 he used his Chakra to amp his wings and soon he rocketed across the landscape. He quickly arrived at the SSC and landed on the same exact cliff face as before, he entered inside and it didn't spray him again. It took him a minute to finally reach the Boat Bay, He looked around and spotted #1. "#1 where is the Info terminal on all the SCCs?"
1 turned his three eyes onto me, "The Info on all the SCCs would be at the SSC Command Center, which is located inside of Canterlot, Hoofington City, Manehattan Center, Fillydelphia Center, and Trottingham Center. The Main HQs with the most Leeway would be in Canterlot and Hoofington Core."
Ebon scowled, 'I like my body intact.' "Is there any info here?"
"Nope, the only thing we have access to is all the HQ locations."
'Okay, so we are a roadblock.' "Where is the one in Canterlot?"
"Oh that's easy, it's 250 feet below the City and on the Cliff face like this one."
"The One in Hoofington Core?"
1 seemingly shivered, "It's best not to go to it, but it's inside that giant tower that pierces the clouds."
'Yikes, best to never head there.' "Okay, where are the ones in Manehattan and Fillydelphia, since I can easily reach their locations."
1 bobbed in the air, "Easy, the one located in Manehattan is below the water on the north part of the Friendship Monument, the one in Fillydelphia is located directly under the Stable Tec HQ."
Ebony's eyes widened, "Nice, so I can do one of those with ease, and for the one near Friendship City I would need the HMS Spike to get closed enough underwater and use the Diving gear to actually access it, the one in Fillydelphia I would need a distraction to gain access to it."
"Once you gain access to one of the HQs the others will be available to access via Magical Teleportation Devices. Though I suggest staying far away from Hoofington's HQ, the facility is the cause for most of those nasty Robots."
"Okay, staying far away from that facility, how do you know this?"
1 chuckled with his Mechanical voice, "What just because we are stuck here doesn't mean we don't keep up to date with our HQ in the City, the truth is that facility was actually made by MAw. None of the Officials behind the SSC liked the idea that one of the Ministries would have a hand in the creation, but they were forced to, multiple SSC Facilities had some things from the Ministries."
"Okay, I will have to plan a mission, how can I access the Fleet without flying constantly?"
"No idea that doesn't include one of those Magical Teleportation Devices, sadly only the HQs have any of those, and maybe a few Facilities."
"Damn, okay, I will be going then."
Ebony arrived at his Tank and frowned, "Okay, a new objective. Shut down and wait for my return after you arrive at Brimstone Falls, if I do not arrive in a few days activate and provide Aid to unit Blackjack and her crew and keep her safe from Lancer."
"Copy."
Ebony flew up into the air and headed towards his Fleet, he used his Chakra to amp his wings again. 'I should have days at most to do this job, and luckily I have an idea of Blackjack's constant location.' He landed on the landing pad for the HMS Goldenblood, "Captain Seegreen we have an issue that needs immediate action." I walked to the Bridge and listened to the Private talk to Captain Seagreen.
"What is it Private?"
"We only have enough food for at most a few months and our water supplies are the most dire, with only 2 weeks of purified water."
Seagreen grunted and sighed, "Where is Ebony when you need him?"
"I am here, and I have a mission to do."
"Can it wait, mate?"
"Nah, it's a serious matter, the SSC HQs, I need to find all the Bases and activate them. I will find a way to provide food and water, but to do this we have to help communities on the Mainland."
Seagreen grunted, "How are we going to get food for helping them?"
"Easy, Protection." Seagreen's eyes widened, and started to listen, "First I need the Facilities to you know find more soldiers and possibly the Supply Stash."
Seagreen nodded, "From what the statistics on the SSC stated there are supposed to be around 500 Supply Stashes all across the country each one capable of feeding millions for decades, they were supposed to be used if the war got worse."
"Good, do you have any idea where they were located?"
Seagreen shook his head, "I only have one that may be there, the rest are a mystery."
"Okay, we will find the HQs and find everything that they know. Then raid some stashes."
Seagreen sighed, "What's your Plan General?"
"Manehattan the Friendship Monument, or the Stable-tec HQ in Fillydelphia."
Ebony pulled out a magic Chalkboard and started to draw on it, he wanted the plans to go off with barely any casualties if they went to Fillydelphia. "Okay the First idea is simple and easy, but it's quite out of the way, Use the HMS Spike to get near the Friendship Monument which is now a heavily armored city, and use Scuba gear with a small team to invade the SSC HQ, or go to Fillydelphia which is closer but more difficult. This idea would be the most expensive idea also, we would need to transport the HMS Twilight to Fillydelphia coast and launch an Air assault as a distraction on either the Red-eye faction or the Steelrangers, I would prefer attacking Red-eye. This would cause the factions in the area to scramble as they would assume the pegasi would be attacking, we would also have to send a message afterward to Red-eye to tell him to prepare for a war."
"Why not both Boss?" Ebony looked to Seagree and he grinned, "It would be perfect, while the fleet attacks Fillydelphia it will send a message to all hostile organizations that we are not to be messed with lightly and we could easily send a team lead by one of our Spec-ops units into the SSC HQ in Manehattan for easy access."
"What about the fuel cost?"
Seagreen laughed, "Fuel! Haha no we use Balefire generators, the only price would be the ammo used in the assault, which is easy to produce considering we have two Support ships with Ammo, Medical, Magical, even armor, and repair systems on board."
"So, the price would be minor compared to what we would be gaining?"
"Yep."
"Let's do it then!" Seagreen laughed excited to finally have his crew see some action. "Where do you want me?"
Seagreen smiled, "Onboard one of the planes, our only Command Plane."
It took a few hours to get the plan perfected and a day of travel to the locations, The HMS Twilight stood proud amongst the sea, with her mighty fleet staying by her side, HMS Golden Blood in the front and sideways with all her weapons on display on the left. While HMS Applejack and Rainbow Dash stayed on the sides with their weapons pointed out to sea and the Mainlands, with the HMS Pinkie in the Rear with her weapons in their natural position but their AA Guns and 50. cal turrets pointed out to sea and behind the HMS Twilight. The HMS Trottingham constantly orbiting around the Fleet. This was a sight of perfect harmony of the ships, none could possibly penetrate this formation without alerting the other ships, the fact was the HMS Twilight was likely the most protected thing in the world at that very moment.
Hundreds of miles away the HMS Spike was 200 feet underwater and moving slowly, but the Submarine was already only 2 miles out. Inside the crew was mission ready, all dressed up in their emergency scuba gear just in case the worse happened the Submarine was hit. The Spec-ops group had their sealed rifles and wore Navy Scuba Gear, they had Nightvision goggles inside their bags and a few days' worth of food and water just in case the mission lasted longer than expected. A stallion walked into the room he looked gruff and not wearing the Navy Scuba gear, "Okay team, this is the mission, the General wants us to attack one of our own bases, anything could be there, keep guns hot and Nightvision on, and keep each other alive. Horah!"
"Horah!"
Back at the HMS Twilight Ebony walked to the Flight deck and put on the Standard Flight suit just in case the Atmospheric machines malfunctioned. Ebony sat down on one of the seats and waited for the plane to take off, It took a while because the Mechanics wanted to be absolutely sure the engines would be in perfect shape. Soon though the plane took off and Ebony's eyes widened. "We are now at Stable Altitude sadly we are going to be visible to all ground units. We had to stay below the Cloud layer."
"That's fine, no one should try and attack a Command plane with four Super Jets on defense detail. How is the fleet doing?"
"Getting a reading now. Yep, they are ready to attack both you and Seagreens command, Seagreen already gave the all clear."
"Attack," Ebony spoke with certainty.
Red-eye was having a normal day, he was visiting his base in Fillydelphia, and suddenly everything changed. He heard one explosion, and he thought, 'We just lost a slave, great more money down the drain.' A second bomb went off, then a third, and before he knew what was happening the whole base was under attack. Griffins screamed, "Planes! Shoot them down! Pegasi, Attack!"
'Pegasi?!' He poked his head outside and paled, what he saw was nothing less than a Nightmare, the sky was filled with Pegasi in Shadowbolt armor, Vertibucks, Jets, Planes, and even a few Helicopters! And they were all attacking his base, and only the slaves seemed to be spared, but even they died from the bombs dropping.
He heard the constant whistling of bombs falling and then a sound of a HE explosion, Suddenly everything went silent as all the Planes averted from their flight path and flew back towards the Ocean.
"What the hell just happened!" Red-eye screamed into the sky, and no one tried to answer him.
Ebony started to laugh but soon winced as he got a message from the Spec-ops unit that was headed to the Fillydelphia SSC HQ, "Man down, random shrapnel pierced throat and died almost instantly. Mission continuing."
Ebony frowned, "Okay, the new plan I want all units to land on HMS Twilight leaving behind Ebony and the Air fleet."
"Rodger!"
Ebony sighed, "Does this thing have guns?"
"Guns? Hell yeah, what do you think this thing is a Civilian plan, yeah we have a 105mm Howitzer, 40mm Bofors cannon, and 25mm Gatling gun. We like to call her the Angel of Death."
"Fitting Title." Ebony got control of the 105mm Howitzer, "Time to die Mother Fuckers."
"Wait boss you're taking over the guns! I wasn't told this!"
"New plan, Cause as much fucking Chaos as possible to the Red Eye legion, this will hopefully take their organization down a peg!" Ebony pushed the Button and he started to grin as he Activated his Sharingan.
Red-eye started to help recover his things so he could leave, but suddenly a new sound filled the area, a Cannon firing. Then a loud ass explosion rocked the entire area, he realized that it was nearby. It landed inside the Slaver's sleeping quarters. More explosions filled the air as he heard his Slavers open fire on something else in the air, he poked his head out the window and cursed. "AC 130 gunship!" He then paled as he noticed something else "Are those Super Jets!" Yeah, they were, and the bad news was they were headed straight for his base, their Miniguns and missiles fired and were aimed towards precise locations. His slavers were gunned down and blown up but the Slaves themselves were mostly unharmed, Red-eye realized this location was completely compromised if he had an entire air fleet attack his base, plus Jets and an AC 130. He looked up and he couldn't believe it, on the side of the AC 130 was a picture of a Pony wearing black robes carrying a skeleton Scythe. To his horror, he realized it was one of the most feared planes to ever appear, "It's The Angel Of Death..." The Plane took on an entire Zebra fleet of both planes and boats almost entirely solo, with only a few Super Jets backing her up.
He actually shat himself, not just any Super Jets, The four Ponies of the Apocalypse. "Conquest, Famine, War, and Death." Each of the Four ponies was there, defending their ally. He instantly knew that whatever he planned was doomed to fail, because those 5 planes were enough to wipe out months of planning on the Zebra's part and gave the Ponies a significant boost in the war, he knew seeing those planes on the enemy side was a sign of sure defeat.
"Retreat!" He screamed out as loud as he could, 'No one could possibly stop those 5, I doubt the Enclave with all their power would be enough to take them out with one single ship.'
Ebony stopped firing when he realized the Slavers started to fall like flies and the survivors scattered. "We did it!"
The pilot started to laugh, "The Angel of Death Strikes again!"
"Head back to base, Mission Accomplished."
Meanwhile, the Mission in the HMS Spike was going Well, the Spec-Ops arrived at the SSC HQ entrance with no issue, they entered the Airlock and waited for the water to drain, and it soon did.
They had their weapons at the ready and they put on their Nightvision goggles, the hallway behind the Airlock was clean. "No hostiles?" The Sergeant tapped his Pip-buck and nodded. "What to do Sarge?" One of the four Soldiers asked their superior.
"Search for a Magical Teleportation Device."
"Rodger!"
Inside the Base inside of Fillydelphia, the only three Spec-ops units arrived inside the SSC HQ and started to search for anything.
"Find anything?"
"Yeah, we have a map and a couple of crates of Teleportation Devices, also this place seems to have a Cyro Stable attached to it, but it's not Stable-tech."
"Let the poor fuckers out."
"Boss, they aren't ponies, most seem to be Zebra, there are also Dragonoids, Griffions, Changelings, a Queen, and a whole line of Pegasi!"
"Command says let them out but not at the moment they want two of us to take our dead friend back to the Fleet with as many Teleporters as we could manage."
"Rodger That, I will stay behind."
"Are you sure Pumpkin, it may be a few days."
"So I have enough food, and I think I saw a few movies and a Tv so I'll stay."
"Rodger, Spice, Let's go."
Ebony exited the Angel of Death and watched as the wings folded and the Engines dismounted, he headed towards the Command room of the HMS Twilight.
When he arrived it was a flurry of activity that stopped suddenly, "Yo the Boss is back!" With that, he was instantly asked multiple different questions that he didn't know how to answer so suddenly.
"Woah everyone calm down, the Captain wants to see you, General." Ebony nodded and he walked to the Bridge.
Seagree wore a wide bright smile that was tinged with sadness, "One man down in a huge operation, I'm proud to serve."
Ebony scowled, "There shouldn't have been a single casualty, it was a freak accident, they were well out of the Danger Radius." He growled, for some reason, he instinctively hated losing a single member of his group. A distant memory of his leading a group of weird monkey beings with special eyes and powers, similar to his own. He lost a member of his team and ever since he hated losing members of his team. Ebony suddenly gained a migraine and shook his head dispersing it, "Sorry headache." The Memory had already left his mind.
"It's normal to lose something in a battle son, war is war it never changes only its methods. Bombs, Nukes, guns, radiation, they shift but the end result never changes, with someone dead."
"Yeah, I know, what did the teams say about the Hq?"
"Team 1 in Manehattan hasn't even responded to their Comms must be blocked, but Team 2 they found some things that may interest you."
"Oh, what is it?"
"A military Cyro Stable."
"What! We need them."
"Your right but with more mouths to feed means less water and Food for others."
Ebony sighed, "Good point, did they find a map?"
"Yeah, they are bringing it."
"Get a Verti-buck to pick them up, then head back to Hoofington Area."
"Rodger."
They soon returned to the Stationary position outside of Hoofington Bay, and Ebony flew towards Brimstone Falls. He landed by the Schoolhouse after an hour and loaded his Shotgun with Stun Slugs, "System, is Unit Blackjack in the area?"
"Affirmative."
"Location?"
"Inside Brimstone Falls."
Ebony scowled, "Damn okay, is she sneaking out the uniform?"
"Affirmative."
"Great. This is gonna suck, okay I have to appear before Blackjack when she arrives-" He arrived inside the school room and looked into the red glowing eyes of Blackjack, "Hello Blackjack can I be of assistance?"
Blackjack blinked and nodded, "Why are you here though?"
Ebony looked towards Brimstone Falls, "Me and my Organization really hate Slavers, and I was sent to stall or possibly turn one of the leaders to my side, by any means."
"What do you offer?"
Ebony smirked, "I have a Tank, if that's not good enough I am a crack shot, a skilled Security Stallion, and I have a Pip-buck."
"You're in."
