private Fallout Equestria: Blood Moon

[KlutsyDraconequus 120]

After, the ceremony for Rave was done, the ponies who survived the encounter in Canterlot fired the twenty one gun salute in his honor at the zebra village. I even had Jack's body moved here so he too could find peace. I wondered if their spirits would still fight in the afterlife as well. At least he isn't suffering in the real world. I looked at Darkeye, "So, what now?" Laughing gently giving him a kiss. "The word is that Elegron has a new city built somewhere called Stable City. I have a hunch the Blood Queen still wants us dead, but I have a feeling that Elegron has much more to worry about than we do at the moment. In the meantime, you said this stuff was good?" Referring to the diet that Darkeye generally had these days. "If you insist, I'll try a taste, no guarantees though." Looking to the horizon, "You think we'll ever find peace? We need to leave this place anyway, come babe, the whole death thing may appease you but certainly doesn't for me. Let's go somewhere", I said with a wink. The whole sky was a mix of orange and reds as everyone set up watch for the night. "The night is young, lets be elsewhere yes?" Pulling him away from everyone for the night.

Darkeye followed. "You don't have to eat what I eat. I can even stop if you want, just for you. I doubt the Blood Queen will be after us. She has no quarrel with us. I was even thinking that she might need some mercenaries. If she continues to fight the Stabledweller, then I will support her. I would love it if you would stand beside me. She is of course the new ruling power in the Wastelands. By joining her, we can live a life of peace and settle somewhere down". Darkeye smiled and looked Rain in the eye. "We can have our own home, set up a house or something". He then looked down from the hill. "The night is beautiful. But not as beautiful as you". 

[Child Of Darkness 285]

(10 years later)

 

The world, had changed. More that it ever had over the last 200 years. Since the Canterlot battle and the Tenpony incident 10 years ago, the White Poison had taken control of the wasteland, and done what they saw as the best course of action for it. And they themselves had evolved from a gang of Raiders living in the harshest of conditions, being looked down on as murderers and cutthroats, into a power organisation which contacts all the way to the Griffin Kingdom on the other side of the world. Now called the White Poison Society, WPS for short. Over the last 10 years, the wasteland has adopted the discoveries that the WPS made during their isolation in the badlands. Methods of cultivating land and the secrets of agricultural to grow non irradiated foods had spread all around the world. Taming and killing of wild animals is also now common knowledge and Scorpions are now a household pet. No one resists the WPS and their dictatorship socioety, ruled over by two mares. The world was flourishing, and recovering faster than expected.

 

Vi: "Do you remember what day today is?"

 

Blooddrop: "Of course. 10 years since we first met in Canterlot. Seems like such a long time ago now. Yet a remember little of it. My memory must be starting to fail me in my old age."

 

Vi: "Your only 41. Your not old, you're experienced. But look at what you have accomplished in just 10 years. Fields of green and fresh food and water for the wastes are starting to become a reality. We are still far away from our end goal, and our only problems are the fact that the Brotherhood of steel joined up with the resistance. Those Lightbringers hiding away in their Stable City someplace in the world. Don't start to call yourself old just because you're older than the average pony. Life expectancy is expected to rise up to 70 in the next 20 years as opposed to the 34 it was 10 years ago. All thanks to you are your teachings."

 

Blooddrop: "I guess I do deserve a pat on the back. Anyway, what news have we received about resistance?"

 

Vi: "Nothing new. They are hiding away. The world is against them and only a few who are stupid enough try and join them."

 

Blooddrop: "Very good. How is the production of Steel in the mills in Vanhoover?"

 

Vi: "Going great. We have enough steel to start building out of it. Corrugated iron and mud huts will be forgotten in about 30 years. We will be a new society. A great society."

 

Blooddrop: "Implying we are not already so grossly incandescent. The world will remember us as the ones who saved it from this loop of destruction. And Lightbringer Elegron remembered as the one who tried to stop us. One day he will face a public execution along with all of his followers. One day."

[Elegron 168]

The wind was howling, Elegron grimaced as it stung his many small wounds. "You know what to do. Take the camp, and free any hostages, slaves, etc." Some of elegrons elite stealth unit was approaching the camp, totally unseen. Elegron put his stealth cloak over is head, and vanished from sight. The scouts fell first, quickly and silently, from the teams perfected melee, inarmed, and suppressed firearms techniques. A guard saw a shimmer I the air and went to investigate, but a swift strike from elegrons new hellhound guantlet ended his life.

Elegron brought up the pipbuck on his forehoof "assault team, now" about 20 soldiers in combat armor took aim, and fired with assault carbines chambered in armor piercing rounds. Many of the encampment fell quickly, but a voice was soon heard by all. "I am commander blackblade, leader of this camp. I'm sure you all haven't noticed the explosives." He pulled out a detonator "now, surrender your entire army stable dweller, or I end you once and for-" he didn't get to finish. Ex-Paladin strawberry lemonade took him out with ease with her modified anti material rifle. Silver dash, a dashite that was fed up with the white poison, swooped in and grabbed the detonator, destroying it.

 

Elegron walked up to the remaining soldiers, with several snipers at the ready if they made any sudden movements. There were several casters hidden throughout the camp, creating a very powerful shield around Elegron. "Let's try this again. Drop your weapons, free any slaves, and run. Or you can stay here and be killed."

 

"It's funny" Elegron thought. "I told dash I wouldn't be on any more raids, yet here I am. The white poison has gotten out of control. But I've noticed something. A hesitation. They're afraid of me, even if just a little. We have access to all the same weaponry they have, and we use stealth assault offensive tactics. They have every reason to be afraid. I hate raids like this, but weve got to stop the white poison somehow. Now that I think about it.... They're numbers are growing. They're recruiting. If I kill all of the white poison, then at this rate. there won't be any pony left. I have to kill bloodrop. She's getting old now, so I have the advantage. She's 41 and I'm only 25. You learn a lot in 10 years."

 

Elegron watched as many of the remaining ponies fled. Only one tried to attack Elegron, but was quickly stopped by silver dash. Elegron ran into the main room, and saw the walls lined with cages. Only a few had beaten ponies, all of the rest had barely recognizable remains.

He walked up to one of the cages, and unlocked it.. Inside was a young, tortured filly, who as soon as she saw another pony backed up against the wall, terrified. Elegron out a hoof on her shoulder "shhh... It's ok, your safe now. You can come with us to stable city." Her eyes lit up! Elegron remembered no matter how hard it was, it was always worth it to change the lives of the tortured.

 

 

Elegrons team had arrived at... Nothing. Elegron waved to seemingly no pony, after making sure he wasn't followed. The front of the stealth field phased out, and the team entered stable city, the field closing behind them. "Take the freed ponies to their rooms and give them the tour, I'm heading to the spa. Strawberry lemonade, you want to come with me?" "Of course!" Came the response from his marefriend.

"It's not like I'm cheating on dash" he thought to himself "I told her about strawberry lemonade. She seemed to understand, and it's only until I can be with dash again. The stress of this war is too great for me to handle on my own. Had I not met strawberry, I probably would have cracked several years ago. It might be a little awkward when they meet. Heh. Maybe Ill be able to keep both." He chuckled "Thats for dash to decide"

Strawberry heard him laugh "what is it?"

"Nothing important, just thinking about the future."

[JonasDarkmane 19,787]

Darkeye heard news about the attack and decided it was time to step in. The whole ordeal had been going on for quite long enough. The Stabledweller was ruining other ponies lives, by taking away their jobs. He only had one last business to deal with. He had been reviewing some paperwork about a mare that was part of Elegron's resistance. She had not been cooperative and therefore she had to be punished. He signed a piece of paper and then stamped it with the mark of a White scorpion and a chalice, representing the justice department. 

 

Darkeye watched as Lemon Trade was executed. "Now that there is nothing more to finish, I shall write Blooddrop a letter". 

 

Darkeye had returned to his quarters and was writing the message. "We may be growing stronger each day, but it seems that the attacks are only getting worse. Therefore I have a suggestion on how to at least start striking at this hidden city. I only request that my department be given free reign to check on the slaves and the slave trade and perform our order of business. I also suggest making an alliance with the Hellhounds. It can be easily achievable if they are shown respect. The Stabledweller has been killing a lot of them and using their claws for weapons or trophies. We can use their hatred for the Stabledweller to our advantage as they can dig underground fast and spring up and kill without the victim realizing that he's dead. If we secure an alliance with them, I can use them to even further perfect the plan I have for terrorizing Stable City. 

The all and honorable Judge Darkeye Crystal". A griffin stood outside his room. It was his personal bodyguard. "Deliver this to the Blood Queen immediately".

In the years that past, Blooddrop commissioned the rebuilding of Ponyville along with a commemoration to Rave Crystal in the center. She used her forces to push back the ghouls prior gaining major support in the local area.

Now, it is a thriving community working as the center of trade for the flow of goods within the WPS. Although Darkeye and I still live together. We are kept apart by the duties he has as a judge in the WPS forces while I keep Ponyville flowing with valuable trade goods.

Raids are sometimes common from Elegron but we are usually pretty evened up for any real harm. My snipping had improved greatly and security is at an all-time high since the WPS were incorporated into our own.

We have our own fillies now as well, two stallions and a mare. They are now of age to begin firing weapons, something I personally seen to. They are named: dark sun, night moon, and violet. I do what I can help them however, between making sure that the traders cooperate and running the outpost. I am kept very busy with little time for kids.

Leaving the main building, (former city hall), a courier approached me. "Rain, Darkeye has arrived." He said happily. "Good, that Elegron keeps him away from me. I am starting to hate myself for not taking the shot when I had the chance." Running towards the front gate, "kids, dad's here!" Running into his arms and kissing him."Soo, hows everything with you lately honey? I assume that Elegron isn't too much trouble." The fillies pushing their way in. "No fair mom, my turn!" Haha, fine you can have him now" backing off.

[Elegron 168]

Elegron trots up to the tavern and sits next to homage [lady killer] "so, is the wasteland going to learn that dj pon3 is actually a gorgeous mare?" Homage chuckles "Elegron, you know I only have eyes for mares".

"I know that, we're just friends. Close friends. So anyway, a small team and I will be heading out to talk to bloodrop about negotiations. Until then I will focus on building stable city rather than attacking." Elegron got up and walked over to his negotiations office to find a zebra waiting for him. "So xenith, you wish to aid the resistance? I would be honored to fight by the side of one of the greatest leaders in zebra history."

"Of course" she replied with her exotic voice "you have aided zebras time and time again. I only have 100 or so under my command, but they and I are now under your command"

"No xenith, they are not under my command, they are under yours. We can coordinate defenses and attacks together."

"Interesting... I'm willing to try this.."

"Then it's settled" Elegron gave her a friendly smile "thank you xenith, this more than repays what I have done"

[JonasDarkmane 19,787]

Darkeye smiled as he embraced his family, reaching out with his hooves. Due to his big size, he was able to hug them all at once. "The Stabledweller has become more of a problem, but I will resolve that matter soon. Right now, I'm enjoying my time off with my lovely children and beautiful wife" he smiled. He looked at the children. "I brought some gifts for you". From a bag he was carrying came out 3 Magical Energy Rifles. "You have now reached the age to start firing weapons, but you are going to have to study as well". He brought forth 3 different books. "Your grandfather loved books, he read every book he could get his hooves on. He was a specialist in survival, could even point out flaws in Ditzy's survival guide". He then looked to his wife. "I hope you won't be busy this evening, I would like to take you out for dinner".

As Elegron is talking with Xenith a flash of green fire startles those around him. A voice he clearly recognizes says, "It has been an interesting ten years. I guess we both have been busy." A pony taps Elegron on the shoulder before spinning him and kissing him on the mussle.

[Elegron 168]

Strawberry lemonade leapt backwards and fell out of her chair

Elegron was a bit surprised at first, but quickly recovered "dash!" He tackled her with a hug "I missed you, it's been far too long!"

A small box with dash's name on it fell out of Elegrons saddlebag and he quickly put it back, blushing. "Uhh.. Just ignore that for now" after the initial awkwardness, Elegron kissed her again "we can talk more in my room" he said with a smirk.

[Midnight_Aurora 571]

Dashia says, "We have a day. The dragon lords have given me a day every 10 years to see you." She spins and shows him that her draconic form has been redone. The scales are shining a brilliant emerald light cyan mix. Her mane and tail have a hint of purple to it now. She then says, "I missed you. But the saying goes distance only make love stronger. I have so much to tell you about on my end."

[KlutsyDraconequus 120]

"I suppose I could make time for something. Since your here, I can make time later. Are we eating in or going out? Well I guess I should ask if your up to your old diet again?" Laughing to myself, "What do you mean by that mom, why was dad on a diet?" I guess i should watch my wording. "He just had his own food preferences back then, that's all. Go run along now, did you finish your homework like I asked earlier? I will get the Blood Queen herself to straighten you out!" They ran off the fear of the queen in their eyes and I looked at him again laughing lightly, "You miss too much at home with your trips, you do realize ten years ago we officially got together? Come along now, I have some renovations will you find quite fitting to the old town hall that will suite us quite nicely for tonight's dinner." Calling to the area supervisor, "Make sure nothing is left undone, I want tonight to go smoothly." He ran off and I looked back at Darkeye, "I heard the raids are getting worse, I am almost tempted to go with you myself but my place is here securing our supply lines. Ah well, a mare can only hope." Gripping him tightly, I didn't want to let go but things needed to be done before we could officially relax tonight. 

[Elegron 168]

"You can see I've gotten a lot done too" Elegron leads dash out of the office and shows her stable city. Guards patrolled the area, and ponies were enjoying their lives, risk free. The two found themselves in a well made home, with several artifacts from before the war, and many guns lined the walls. "This is my new home. Don't worry, we still have the base for when war starts up again, but I'm thinking of going neutral. You know what I mean? No more moral boundaries and edgy caravan raids. I just want to develop stable city. I'm creating a beacon of hope, safe from the white poison." He sat down on a bed and motioned for dash to sit next to him "but enough about me, what have you been up to?" He levitated a bottle of cider out of a nearby fridge and poured a glass for both of them.

[Midnight_Aurora 571]

Dashia sits next to Elegron and takes her glass politely. She takes a sip Before saying, "I will never get use to not being able to get drunk. The last 10 years I have been mastering my new abilities, trying to get the council to give the go ahead for project reunion. I also am now head of a detachment of halfbreeds that recover lost draconic artifacts from down here. I have also made contact with a Dashite city by the name of Cloudsdale. They all are with me for my plan. We all want a peaceful existence with the surface. I have a following of 200 halfbreeds and more then 500 Dashites."

[Elegron 168]

"Do you think this could involve creating peace between the lightbringers and the white poison? I'm tired of this war, and I hate it. There has been so much death." He snuggled up next to her "these past 10 years have felt like 30. I want to settle down dash. I want to have kids, and to end this stupid war. Of course we can still go on adventure together, but I don't want to kill any more ponies than I need to. To show how serious I am about this I will personally visit bloodrop. Of course I'll be prepared for an attack, but I hope it won't come to that." He smiled at her "a new age is coming for all of pony kind, and I think it is a good one."

[Midnight_Aurora 571]

Dashia nussles him and says, "Kids.....Funny you should mention that. I told you my heart is only for you in full." Dashia gets up and heads for the bathroom. "Shower?" She gives Elegron that one looks he knows all too well. She then proceeds to head inside. He can hear the water running.

[Elegron 168]

"Oh, uhh, right" elegant as always.

---------------------

Elegron woke up next to dash on the bed, and looked at his pipbuck. 2 hours had passed. He looked down to the sleeping mare beside him, her mane a complete mess, and smiled. "Hey dash" he whispered, not wanting to wake her up if she was still asleep. When he got no response, he snuggled up closer and waited patiently for her to wake up, enjoying her presence.

[JonasDarkmane 19,787]

Darkeye walked around Ponyville. "Things have really improved here. It is funny how one thing can be rebuilt from the ashes. Rave did a pretty good job when it came to utterly destroying towns". A few ponies ran past him in quite the hurry, they were carrying suitcases and dressed nicely. He saw some zebras, although ponies were eyeing them with distrust and some with hatred. "Vazandra. I did not expect to see you here in Ponyville". "Well, it is because of my second job. It aint easy being a mercenary and a peace spreader. I've come to Ponyville to try and teach ponies that zebras are not what they once was. After that I will head out to protect some of the Happy Smile's caravans". Darkeye nodded. He walked to where the gnarled and destroyed tree, that had been Ponyville's library and Twilight Sparkle's home, had once stood. In place of the destroyed tree now stood the statue of Rave Crystal. He sighed. 

[Child Of Darkness 285]

Blooddrop and Vi revived the letter from Darkeye and mulled over its contents.

 

Vi: "He has a point. These attacks are getting worse as time goes on, but he only stops our caravans from delivering good and water that our farms down south in the ponyville area have cultivated to the ponies around the wastes who need these supplies. If ponies are forced to eat and drink old irradiated food and water, it's The Lightbringers fault."

 

Blooddrop: "True. And an alliance with the Hell hounds would be possible, as I could agree to outlaw the hunting and killing of Hell hounds and let them live among us. As for Darkeye having control of the slave market. He is asking a lot, but he has earned a bit more power and respect. Inform our Caravans to take precautions against invisible opponents and increase the guard count from 2 to 3 guards."

 

Vi: "Ok."

 

Vi walked outside and talked with the Griffin messenger. "Go to Judge Darkeye and inform him that his request for control over the slave market has been granted. But only over the section of the market we control. The other 1/3 is property of Happy Smiles Caravan as per our deals."

 

The Griffin flew out of the WPS city in the badlands and started to make his way back to ponyville.

 

Vi: "So how are we going to deal with Stable City?"

 

Blooddrop: "We can't attack the which we do not know where it is. We need a spy to join up with them."

[KlutsyDraconequus 120]

Laughing to myself, "You should be here for the day to day trials and tribulations. I would need a judge for all creatures who think their goods are being sold for less than their worth. Bartering works but I'd imagine things go south quickly between zebras and ponies if we didn't have a huge security presence here." Taking a deep breath, "Can I ask you something?" Making sure no one could hear the conversation immediately within their general area. "I knew Elegron before and I seen sometimes the toll this guerrilla warfare is on the citizens. Ponies speak you know, sure we have a big enough military presence, but more ponies and zebras flock to stable city every day. Sooner or later, raids will become full-fledged assaults. I just think peace might be an option for a more reasonable and pragmatically long term future. Would you be willing to consider that option considering your place in the WPS, it might even convince the queen herself to think about it." Smiling now," I am sure you could eat all the zebras in ponyville right now, lets get my stallion some food huh?" hugging him more. "Besides, I miss you, you know."

[JonasDarkmane 19,787]

"I've missed you too. I also knew the Stabledweller, through my father at least. He let him down and has been spewing propaganda that what he is doing is the right thing. Not that we don't have our own propaganda, but we aren't pretending to be heroes. Only the rejects are flocking to Stable City, most ponies have jobs now and are happy with that. They will stick to it. Elegron still hasn't offered any peace, the first thing he did was immediately attack our caravans and he has been doing that for 10 years now, nonstop. If he ever wants peace, it will be hard to achieve with all the pony blood on his hooves". A pair walked past Darkeye and Rain. Darkeye glared at them and they ran off. "Most ponies won't be able to forgive all the blood that has been spilled. I will never accept peace unless he reveals where Stable City is. If he doesn't there will be no reason for us to trust him. He would be able to break the peace treaty whenever he wished and go hide like a coward within his little stable. He will also have to pay reparations for all the damage done to us. He was the first to go on the offensive, he has been the one attacking while we have been trying to defend our selves". His face softened. "But let us not discuss about Elegron any more. He is of no concern to me now. My concern now is how to provide for my family and make them happy" he smiled, putting a hoof around Rain. Darkeye's griffin came flying, landing in front of the two. He brought Blooddrop's message to him. "Alright, tell Dr. Zomora that he is to take his team to the slave market and do his part, even the Happy Smiles one. Let Lena know about my plan, she will agree to it. I'm also quite sure that the Blood Queen is ready for an alliance with the Hellhounds. Have Mad Dog carry out his orders. After that, the Hellhounds will be given jobs. Go now Windroar". Windroar took to the air and flew with great speed to carry out Darkeye's orders. "Now that has been dealt with, where were we?" he said as he held Rain lovingly.

"You may recognize this as the former city hall, but since I agreed to keep this outpost running, this is also our home." A pet scorpion crawled across the floor with the kids following in pursuit. "What did I say about running inside the house? Take it outside now!" I gave him a look of suicide for a moment, then continued. "She really did give us a nice place. I only wish I could sleep at night without a zebra complaint of their goods being stolen." Pulling some food out of the oven, "I took the opportunity to have the kids away so we could have our time alone tonight. My gift, anyway, you can eat and I have to get them settled before I send them away to the neighbors. He has a hoof in charge of the guard detail so hopefully he can instill some discipline." I said laughing, I kissed him for a minute, "I can never get enough of you, you realize that right?"

Dashia stirs from her sleep and says, "Hello sugar button. Enjoying yourself?" Dashia places a file on his night stand. Dashia then asks, "I want the truth, have you been keeping your promise of no more raids?" She gives him a kiss before getting up and stretching.

[JonasDarkmane 19,787]

"And I can never get enough of you. You seem like you might need help with the kids. I will try to visit more often and stay longer. I am free for a few days, unless something urgent happens. I found some of Jack's belongings, well, some prospectors did, so I bought it from them. I thought you might want it" Darkeye pulled from his saddlebag some of Jack's medical supplies and gear as well as some files.

[Elegron 168]

"Dash, the white poison is getting out of hand, you know that. But I'm ending it now. For real this time. Tomorrow I have plans to meet with darkeye first, then bloodrop. I won't bring any weapons, or guards. They need to know how important this is." Elegron walked over to a small kitchen and started making breakfast. "I was thinking you could come with me. That would add to the point, but at the same time, If we only have a day together, I want to make the most of it... I guess it's really up to you"
