Author's Note
The most important thing I'll mention first is that I DON'T OWN ANYTHING that appears and is used in this story, not the characters or anything else, they all belong to their respective owners. The only thing I own is my OCs. Anyway, ever since I read Kkat's Fallout Equestria, I liked it so much that I thought I should write my own story as a part of the Fallout Equestria universe. I spent several days trying to come up with an idea of what kind of Fallout Equestria story to write but every idea that came to mind ended up in a trash can.
Until I came up with the idea of writing some sort of What-If that is not part of the official story, more like an alternate timeline or parallel universe with some similarities. So everything that happens in this story is not part of the official Fallout Equestria and should be accepted as an alternate universe.
I can't say much so there won't be any spoilers but what I can tell you is that this story takes place after the end of Fallout Equestria, the part where Littlepip entered the SPP tower and removed the cloud cover. I should also say that this story's history and timeline are pretty much the same as in the official Fallout Equestria, except there's a dark conspiracy behind them that will be revealed piece by piece as the story progresses.
I know my writing may not be perfect and I don't mind critics but I hope people will appreciate the hard work I'm putting into this story. I'd also like to mention that in this story, humans and some ponies use real-life firearms, along with the weapons of the Fallout universe of course. Anyway, I hope you will enjoy the story ;)
Prologue
War... war never changes. We were reminded of that simple but significant fact once more when we thought it was over. When we thought we had won and put an end to the nightmare. But we were wrong, we were all so very wrong.
It all began in Stable 2 when Littlepip emerged into the Equestrian Wasteland with one goal in her mind: To find Velvet Remedy who had left the stable to pursue her dreams. Littlepip crossed dangerous terrain for miles and encountered dangerous creatures and ponies alike but she made some friends as well. Like Calamity the pegasus, though their first meeting was a bit bloody.
When Littlepip finally reunited with Velvet, they formed a group that would travel around the wasteland, exploring, fighting raiders, and helping ponies. The group expanded over time when they met new friends, first being SteeleHooves the Steele Ranger, Xenith the Zebra, and me Homage the DJ Pon3.
But as her journey continued, Littlepip had to endure unbearable hardships while uncovering long-buried secrets from the war and fighting god-like enemies. She made mistakes, a lot, but she also did a lot of good for the wasteland even if it didn't seem enough sometimes.
Then came the day the wasteland faced the most dangerous threats ever, Red Eye, the Goddess, and the Grand Pegasus Enclave. It took her a lot but Littlepip slayed both Red Eye and the Goddess, leaving only the Enclave to defeat. But due to their superior military, there was only one way to defeat them: Break the cloud cover and expose all the lies the Enclave has been feeding to their citizens all these years.
When the Enclave descended from the sky, fierce and bloody battles occurred everywhere but they kept them distracted while Littlepip infiltrated the SPP Tower. She connected herself to the tower's mainframe and removed the cloud cover, letting the sun shine upon Equestria for the first time in 200 years.
It seemed that the nightmare had finally ended but our victory was gonna be short-lived. Little did we know that our actions would cause a new more powerful and worse enemy to emerge from the shadows to take over the wasteland. Shortly after the cloud cover was removed, the forces of the Human Enclave led by General Perseus invaded the wasteland. This event came to be known as "the Purge" where Perseus exterminated all those that posed a threat to him, including the Grand Pegasus Enclave.
My friends and I would have been killed as well if not for the intervention of an unexpected ally, the New California Republic/NCR. A team of NCR Veteran Rangers killed the Enclave troopers pursuing us and took us to safety inside their submarine. Sadly, the others weren't so lucky. After our rescuers told us everything they knew about Perseus and the Human Enclave, those of us who survived formed the Resistance and allied with the NCR. Our goal: kill Perseus, defeat the Enclave, and free the Equestrian Wasteland. And that's how began a new war in the wasteland, a war that would determine the very future of Equestria and all of ponykind.
Of course, achieving victory was easier said than done. Perseus had taken over pretty much all the wasteland by then and had integrated the surviving pegasi from the now-destroyed cloud cities into the Human Enclave. He cleaned all major cities in the wasteland such as Manehatten and Fillydelphia of radiation and rebuilt them, in the Enclave's image of course. He also anticipated our intentions to resist and unleashed his powerful military and horrific weapons on us. But with the help of the NCR, we fought back and held our own.
But as time passed, it was becoming clear that despite our efforts and NCR's help, this war would go on for years, perhaps even decades. We couldn't afford to wage war for that long, not with our current progress. Some of us have already begun to lose faith in our cause, that our defeat was inevitable, but I refuse to believe that. Me and my friends, both old and new, still believe we can win, that there is still hope for a better future we're all fighting for. The future that Littlepip sacrificed so much for.
However, I fear that we don't have much time. Every day, Perseus tightens his grip on Equestria, increasing his attacks against the NCR/Resistance Alliance and unleashing new powerful weapons on us. Things are getting worse so fast that our friends in the NCR are considering a nuclear strike against the Enclave but we convinced them to delay that because there are innocents living in the Enclave cities. But if things don't improve, then we may have no choice but to use the nukes as our last resort.
But no matter how bad things get, we are not alone, we have each other. We have friends, family, things we hold dear. But what we need, what I want the most, is someone who can stop this nightmare, someone who can save us. We need a hero, a savior, a friend, a lightbringer.
This is the DJ Pon3, signing off.
