Chapter 1
Our story begins with a man who has changed the Mojave Wasteland. Hal Richards, also known as "The Courier", has just ousted the Legion from Hoover Dam. After such a long fight, it was over. The young, 20 year old man with nice brown hair, soft blue eyes, light skin, and a friendly smile was walking towards the commanding Sergeant of the invasion. All around him, the bodies of Legionaries and NCR alike lay all over the ground, bones broken and skin torn by bullets and knives. As he approached the NCR command post, the Sergeant turned to face him. "Hey Richards, you finally made it!", The Sergeant exclaimed. "Just taking a look around the place. Though it might take awhile to wash off all the blood," Richard said, grinning at the same time. "Heh, well, your work isn't over yet though. Some Rangers said they found a group of Legionaries running 'bout south. You can catch up to them if you run." Richards only replied with a nod of the head and tipping down his desperado hat. As he walked out a NPR trooper said, "Hey, Courier, why don't you get rid of that hat. Its getting pretty raggedy!" The Courier just looked at him and said, "Can't. Helps me remember some...friends...i had." "Oh, ok!," the trooper said, "Just be careful out there. Can't have the hero of the NCR getting killed!" Richards straightens out his Duster, and checks his magnum. As he walks out of the Dam, his mind wanders back to better days.........
He was running around the hallways of his vault, trying to get to his birthday on time. As he gets there, he's surprised to see nearly everyone in the vault there. Richards skids to a stop, and looks around. He excitedly runs in, for his Father to hold him back and say "Hey, wheres the fire!". Richard stops, and looks back at his dad. His father pats his head lovingly, then reaches for a box. "Your Great great great grandfather owned this. It was made before the War." He slowly opened the box, revealing a cowboy style Desperado Hat. "Its all yours son.", as he hands Richards the hat. Richard gazes at it, then puts it on his head. He goes over to his friends and they all pretend to be bandits as his father lovingly looks at him.
Richard is snapped out of it as he hears trudging up ahead. Crouching down, he sneaks to the top of the hill. As he looks down, he notices 6 Legionaries milling about. Most of them had knives, but 2 of them had some old rifles. "No match for Longshot", thought Richard as he slowly took off his rifle. He lined up the sights on the head of a Legionary with a shotgun, held his breath, and slowly pulled the trigger.....
FOOM. The Legionary only had a second to look at the sound of the shot before his brains were scattered over the desert floor in a bloody arc. The rest of the Legionaries had nearly no time to react, as 2 other men were taken out in the same manner before the survivors got to cover behind old, rusted cars."Damn!", Richards swore under his breath as he holstered the rifle and took out his magnum. He quickly runs down the hill and gets to cover, just as the remaining Legionary with a gun tries unloading on him. Entering VATS, Richards took out the rifleman with 2 well aimed shots to the head. As the man flopped down in his death throes, Richards leaned back behind the car and took out a Frag. "Overkill, but acceptable...", He thought to himself. Throwing the frag over the car at the survivors he ducked down as a large explosion rocked the place. Looking up, he found a even more burned out car wreck with 3 bodies lying around it. "Wait, wheres the sixth one?", he thought, just as he heard a war cry behind him. A running Legionary runs into him, knocking his magnum from his hands. "Shit!", he said, as he struggled to take out his knife. A kick in his stomach stopped him from that, and he settled for tackling the man's legs. As he goes down, he begins punching the Legionary in the face, until he took the Legionary's own knife and slit the buggers throat. He got up, and wiped the blood off his face with the sleeve of his Duster. Walking back to pick his gear up, he sighed and prepared himself for the messy job of looting the bodies....
Meanwhile, in Ponyville....
Twilight was up late at night doing what she does best: Studying. She yawns in exhaustion, but still levitates a quill and a piece of paper, dipping the quill into the inkwell. "Dear Princess Celestia," She sleepily mumbled to herself, "I have made a breakthrough with my teleportation spells. I think i have managed to make near energy free, and simply used teleportation. I will do a test of it in the morning." Twilight sleepily got up, then trotted to her bed. She noticed Spike was peacefully sleeping soundly next to her bed, so she patted his head and then groggily lay down on her bed.
The next morning.....
Twilight got up bright and early, and awoke to smell some breakfast. As she walked downstairs, she warmly smiled as Spike greeted her. Sitting down, she quickly scarfed down her breakfast. "What are you rushing for?", Spike asked, as Twilight replied "Oh, im testing out a new spell today". As Spike nodded and followed Twilight outside, she met Rainbow Dash flying by. "Hey Dash!", Twilight called out. Dash looked down and flew towards her. "Hey Sparkle, how are ya?", she said with a tomboyish tone. "Just testing out a new spell, RD", Twilight replied. "Lets hope it doesn't go wrong like the other 100 times it has...", Dash said, rolling her eyes. "It wont go wrong this time, i promise!",Twilight said. Twilight focused on the field near her house, and her horn started to glow. A small "eep" escaped from her when she saw a large rift appearing in the center of the field. "That's not supposed to happen...", She said. As the rift grew to a breaking point, a large discharge of energy was sent out, knocking everypony to the ground. "Ughh, what happened....", Dash said. "I dont know...Wait, is that a...portal?", Twilight said. Looking through it, she gasped as she saw the strangest creature ever through it, staring at her with what she guessed was shock on its face. "What the hell....", it said, making Twilight gasp. "It can talk!", she thought.
