Fallout Equestria, Blood of The Hero: chapter 3, part 1

The Beginning Of A New Journey: The Crash

35 years ago, 300,000 miles off of the surface of planet FID82 (Fidara)

USS Montana 45 minutes before mission starts. Main bay

May 29th, 2024 (I think)

“Last night, at 21:00, my husband, a father, passed away due to his injuries,” the speaker and captain of the ship stated, “but with a heavy heart, I still need to call upon a worthy volunteer to scout out the surface of the planet and to make sure that it is safe to send down a crew,” she then looked at all of the people that are gathered there, “do I have any volunteers?”

“I WILL!” I shouted after an eternity of silence.

“Son…”

“Don’t do that, Captain,” I stood up.

“ATOM!” Mom shouted, surprised that I volunteered, considering what happened last night, “it’s dangerous to do this, and you are only 16,”

“I know it is dangerous; that is the reason why I am doing this,” I stated, walking up to the stage, “look around,” I said, pointing around the bay, “no one else will do it, and I am no one important, no one will miss me, and I am willing to risk my life for us, even if I’m not remembered doing it.”

“Son, you are important to me,” she stated with tears in her eyes that I even thought so lowly of myself.

“Love it or hate it, but it is true,” I stated quite matter-of-factly. “You are the last person who thinks that everyone else either forgot about me or is dead,” I stood next to her on the stage. “No matter the cost, we must save our people.”

“ATOM!” a male voice shouted, prompting me to look over and see someone I had thought I would never see again. “That is not true yet. I’m still alive,” Peter stated,

Peter is a young German male who has been my first and only friend in life. He has lifted me up, and I can rely on him to stand up for me, and I will damn sure do the same thing. While I was finally evacuating, I noticed him out of the corner of my eye, trapped under some rubble, and so I stopped and got him out. He looked terrible, like he was trapped under there for a few days, and so, with the last of my reserves, I barely managed to teleport ourselves to the takeoff point. Suffering from a major burn-out, I was barely able to get us to the boarding ramp, and once we were inside, I passed out.

I woke up a few days later in a room that the “Captain” prepared for me. Still, I never received any news on Pete’s condition, even after I pushed them on it. Still, ultimately, I just gave up, concluding that I was too slow and that I failed my only friend; then, two days later, my father died in my arms, which was the icing on the cake, but here he is, standing in front of me, alive.

“Pete?” I asked, tearing up slightly

“Yeah?” he responded.

“PETE!” I shouted, hugging the friend that I thought I had lost. “I thought I lost you,” I said with my voice cracking.

“Why?” he asked, genuinely confused as to why I was acting like this.

“I was never told what happened to you, so I thought that I was too late when I rescued you,” I stated, breaking the hug.

“WHAT!” my mom shouted at the fact that I was never told about the condition of my friend

“Yep, just like what I thought, and these actions only prove my point.”

“What do you mean by that, Atom?” Peter asked

“I trust that mom told the medical crew to report what happened to you. Am I correct,” I asked, looking at her as she nodded, “Exactly. Sorry about my language, but that only fucking proves my point that no one gives two fucks about me or hates me, which is most likely the reason why the disobeyed DIRECT FUCKING ORDERS!”

“Atom…”

“Don’t do that to me,” I interrupted. “You know it is true.” I then pointed around the room again. “Look around. I am the only one willing and able to do this. Please let me, for the sake of humanity.”

“You will need a crew, though…” Mom stated, deep in thought.

“I will go with him,” Pete exclaimed, “he needs someone to keep him in check.”

“I will go, too,” a female voice shouted, prompting me to look over and see someone I never thought would work with me after my mistake two years before.

“Elle,” I greeted her.
After a few seconds, seven more people joined me, and two truly surprised me because we hated each other or were rivals. The ones I am talking about are Jackson and Elle. Jackson is a young black male whom I tried to befriend in 5th grade but ultimately made me turn my back on one of the “closer” friends that I have, and since then, we have never looked eye to eye. And Elle, that is too long of a story for me to explain why we hate each other, but despite our differences and rivalries, it is my job to do this. For Humanity

10 minutes before the mission starts

The final meeting, the main hall outside of the launch bay 1

“SON HOLD UP!” Mom shouted behind me.

“Yes, Mom,” I said, turning around, looking annoyed. “I need to get to the bay, and no, you will not change my mind, so don’t even try,” I stated, about ready to turn around, and then I felt a hand on my shoulder.

“I know,” she stated, “I only came to wish you good luck, and to give you this,” she said before handing me a holster with a pistol inside. No, that is not any pistol; it is a Colt M1911.

Looking it over, I saw that there was nothing really special about it, but still, this is still a good pistol. But I am shocked at how Mom got one.

“how..wh..what?” I stuttered.

“I got this for you for your birthday, but due to the chaos of the past few weeks with me becoming captain, you ran into the runes to save people, you returned three days later, passing out, a bright glow coming from your arm and a strange mark appearing…” She started listing things off, but one caught my interest.

“Did you say a strange mark appearing on my arm?” I interrupted.

“Yes, why?” As soon as she said that, I pulled up my sleeve to reveal my cutie mark. Looking at it for the first time, I was so surprised that I actually had one, a bright blue star with two wings spreading out on either side surrounded by fire.

“How did you get there?” I asked myself.

“What?” mom asked, clearly hearing me

“Nothing,” I responded, covering it up again. “OOkay back to my first question. Why did you get me this?” I asked, holding up the pistol that she had given me.

“I noted that you like that pistol, so I wanted to get you one for your birthday, but due to what happened, I forgot about it until you volunteered to do this,” she responded casually, something that I did not hear often. “Anyways, I want to tell you something.”

“Shoot”

“Use this pistol to make your final stand if anything goes wrong.”

“I will. Do you have any mags”

“Two”

“It will work,” I said. After I said that, I looked at my watch and realized that I was almost late, “shit, love you, need to go.”

“I love you too,” she said so quietly that I could barely hear it.

After a few seconds, I was in the launch bay that would send me on my journey to FID82 and, ultimately, my new destiny.

Over FID82

Log One
Day one
Cpt. Atom Travis of SLIA32

Day one, I had never imagined that I would actually see possibly our new home with my own eyes from orbit. From what we can see, we have identified 14 continents, and I swear to god that one of them looks like a dragon. From what we can see, the diameter of this planet is about 10,917.5 miles in diameter, and it has distinct biomes like Earth. However, I do not know the composition of the atmosphere and if it is safe for humans to breathe even then. The most striking feature of this planet is, in fact, its three moons. I think that I will call them Imperial, Oracle, and Perception because they remind me of the moons of one of my favorite book series. It’s not important, but still, we need to get closer actually to do our experiments. I will continue this log when we are in low orbit and are able to conduct our research effectively.

Day two
Cpt. Atom Travis of SLIA32

We are finally in the low orbit of FID82, and I have to say that the more we conduct this research, the more I think this is, in fact, the planet that WOF was staged on… but how… that planet was made up? Anyway, from several tests on the planet’s atmosphere, it matches almost perfectly with Earth’s, minus the extreme amount of carbon and sulfur that Earth had, and other scans indicate that there is, in fact, sentient life on this planet anyway from what we can see, it only appears to be on two of the 14 continents that I codenamed Pyrrhia and Pantala due to appearance. But still, neither is good enough for us to land on due to the heavy population and other issues, so I think we will land on continent A24W, which is on the other side of the planet, to allow us to set up at least before we encounter the locals just in case they are hostile. But more research is needed before we can confirm a landing sight. I will have a full report tomorrow. Captain Atom Travis signing off.

Day three
Cpt. Atom Travis of SLIA32

My theory was correct. A24W is entirely uninhabited, so we can settle there unimpeded, but… what is going on?.... What SHIT!!!!
ERROR, ERROR, ERROR, LOST CONNECTION. ATTEMPTING TO RECONNECT………. UNABLE TO RECONNECT.

Meanwhile…

“What happened?” I asked myself out loud as I picked myself up off the ground. Crew, do you copy?”

“I copy atom,” Reef (Peter) responded

“Still kicking,” Zoey (Ella) responded

After a few seconds, all seven other members checked in. “What happened?” I asked, wondering why that happened.

“Metior crashed into us and fucked up the engines,” Reef responded.

“Try to get the engines back online, Pete. I will try to get in contact with The Montana.” After I said that, Reef saluted and returned to the engine room, and then I went to the cockpit to contact The Montana. “GOD FUCKING DAMNIT WORK YOU THING” I shouted after five minutes and the central computer failing to work, “is power offline?” I asked through my communicator

“We are on reserves, and the systems are focusing on life support, doors, and lights,” Reef responded.

“Okay, relocate pow…” I was cut off as I heard cracking from behind me “oh SHIT!!!!!!” I shouted as the front viewport suddenly shattered, and I felt a sharp stab of pain through my knee. But still, despite that, time suddenly seemed to slow down, allowing me to think before I had an idea. I teleported to the right side of the door jam and shut the door, sealing that room. With gravity being added back to my body, I collapsed due to intense pain in my right knee. Looking at it, I was so surprised to see a single piece of glass sticking out of it. Lifting my communicator, I realized that something must have struck it, making it unusable, so with a grunt, I rolled over to my left side and dragged myself across the floor to a wall-mounted communicator. Using my telekinesis, I grabbed it and spoke, “Pete, do you copy?”

“ATOM! Are you okay? I was so…” Reef (Pete(he is called that because I misspoke and said Reef instead of Pete))

“Reef,” I said, cutting him off, “disable gravity in the entire ship.”

“Why?”

“I cannot walk…” I said with hesitation in my voice, “Long story, the cockpit exploded, which is the reason why I am using a wall comu…” I was cut off by an explosion and a siren that was going off inside the ship. “Shit,” I said to myself before turning the transmission ship-wide. “ABANDON SHIP! DO NOT WORRY ABOUT ME! I WILL SEE YOU ON THE SURFACE!” with that said, I crawled my way to an open closet with padding in it. Just as the door closed, the ship hit the surface, knocking me out and marking the beginning once and for all.
