open Fallout Equestria: Endeavor

[Defender of Tomorrow 323]

(Group 1)

"I am glad to see you are both cooperating, and worry not we will return your sword in the same condition we received it Shaman, same goes for you." The stallion spoke a bit more cheerily and reassuringly, after a moment of silence he tossed a few blindfolds to them. "I'm gonna guess that you two don't want us to put bags over your head, so if you could put those on that would be lovely." He chuckled softly as they didn't put the blindfold on immediately and then spoke again "Oh, the reason to which I want you to put these on is that our society cannot afford outsiders to know how to gain access of our establishment, or its existence for that matter." As the stallion spoke one of the ponies had magically enveloped Crackshot's and Ezekiel's weapons and brought them close. 

 

(Group 2)

"More coming? Where?!" The hellhound repeated in confusion as he quickly brought his claws to block Chip's gunfire, the bullets digging into his hands and infuriating him further and attempted to smack the gun out of his grasp. [sTR 10, AGL 8]. Quickly, he turned to the ponies that were watching him from the cave, all of them paralyzed by fear "You try sneaky? I KILL YOU!!" As he went to charge at those ponies the dynamite that was hissing near his foot exploded, knocking him forward and onto the ground. A handful of ponies were freed from their fear as they saw the hellhound stagger to his feet, though the rest remained, staring and watching in terror as he regained his composure, limping a little now but still readying a wide slash attack at them.

As Crackshot caught the blindfold, an even worse feeling washed over him. This was a perfect set up. Taking away their weapons and blinding them? They were just being led into a slaughter.

 

But, for Aile's sake, he had to comply. He used his magic to put the blindfold over his eyes.

"Don't think I don't recognise raider and slaver tactics," he warned the strangers, "if I have any clue shit's going down, you're all going with it."

[Steel Accord 6,660]

Ezekiel put on the blind fold without question. He didn't say such, but he had trained himself to fight while blinded so costing him his sight would in no way deter his threat. If they were speaking the truth, than Ezekiel would not see where they were going, but if they weren't . . .

[Defender of Tomorrow 323]

(Group 1)

The ponies from the rear of camp came forward, a mare and a stallion. The mare took her place beside Ezekiel and the Stallion beside Crackshot and placed a tether on them "Don't be alarmed, its just so we can direct you where to go and so you don't bump into things." The ponies then began to move deeper into the fog, the temperatures becoming very frigid and the fog thickening. The group traversed these conditions for quite a while before the subtle sounds of massive fans and machinery whirred, they had entered a small cavern that was deprived of the glowing fungus that most caves posses, meaning that their was practically no light in the cave. Stopping for a moment the leader of the ponies had spoken very softly [PER 9] "The Shroud Beckons." 

 

Two large steel doors swung outward slowly, opening just enough to let the group inside and shut behind them as they entered. Past the steel doors the cave had expanded in all aspects, the ceiling was taller and the walls were wider leaving plenty of space to walk. Though, it did not feel like a cave, not the slightest bit anymore. Shabby houses filled the space inside the cave, literally. Construction was no stranger, many incomplete houses and projects littered the cave as well, and it did not stop there, makeshift platforms and catwalks littered the upper portion of the cave as ponies carefully navigated themselves on what looked would be the 'third story' if one would consider this a building. A miniature waterfall-like installment occupied the northern sector of the cave where many pipes, contorted in every which way imaginable and coming from various portions of the city had met to tap into the source and distribute water across the populous. And at the apex of the cave, a small house with large windows overlooked the city, a single pony standing there and watching everything.

 

"You can take your blindfolds off now, welcome to Tomorrow-land. We normally never allow outsiders in which is why I must apologize about the circumstances in which you were brought here, if you get any dirty looks don't take it personal. If you would continue following me, we're not that much further from our leader, the reason to which you are here."  

 

(Group 2)

The hellhound at the base of the trail had decided that he wanted to go up the trail after all, that was until someone opened fire on him. Turning to the side he confronted the assailant, a lone griffon. "You shoot me? Bad mistake!" The hellhound had drew his own weapon on the griffon and fired two shots at him in quick succession, [Energy Weapons 90] and then readied himself for re-positioning, awaiting the griffon's next move.

"Dyna, combo attack. Get on my back."

 

Dashia lands next to Dyna. "We should try to get one inside it. My Flyby speed and your dynamite skill. He got hurt by it. Now we finish this."

 

Dashia waits for Dyna Mite to think it over. She fires her Recharger Rifle at the Hellhound.

[JonasDarkmane 19,785]

Dyna thinks about it, finding it to be really risky, but she obeys. She climbs onto Dashia's back and readies one of her dynamites. "Alright let's do this. Let's blow this monster apart" she said, with a bit of excitement in her voice, but also a trail of fear. She did not want to get ripped apart. 

[Ranger22 179]

The three round burst that Agony let off seemed to hit its target, however the bullets didn't seem to ignite. Upon taking a closer look it appeared that my bullets went right through its hide. Thinking about it for a bit I realized the hellhounds armor made me misjudge its body proportions, effectively making me send bullets through the thinner parts of its hide. "You shoot me, bad mistake!" Was its response, causing me to snicker a little bit due to its voice.

       The hilarity of this encounter ended as the hellhound responded with two quick shots with its energy weapon. Sending one bolt into the ground in front of me and another slamming against my thick chest plate. Luckily my gear wasn't as flimsy as his I thought to myself as I pulled out  grenade. "Fuck you!," was what I responded with as I pulled the pin and threw the grenade in its general direction.(Explosives 70) I got a little closer to the hellhound as I pulled up Agony once more for round two with the beast. Your gonna feel the burn this time ya little mutt!" Activating S.A.T.S in my helmet I targeted the hellhounds chest and fired three bursts of armor piercing rounds.(Guns 100)(AP 83)

[Unicorncob 5,690]

Crackshot did not feel comfortable being led around like this. A blindfold over his eyes and a tether around his neck, it was so...slave-like.

He began to wonder if this is what it felt like for her. Being captured by strange ponies, having no choice but to follow them around, going to strange places.

 

He tensed up as the air became cold and frigid around him. His ears twitched at the whirring of machinery around him. The air became the slightest bit stale.

 

He was familiar with this.

 

He removed his blindfold, and got a look at this 'Tomorrow-Land'; a community built inside a cave. Catwalks and platforms surrounded him, along with incomplete housings and even a waterfall.

 

It was like a stable that was still under construction after two hundred years.

 

He was no stranger to dirty looks, so he paid the warning no mind.

"So, what does this leader of yours want with us?" He questioned his, he supposed, captors.

[Chip Circuit 1,842]

Chip recovered his weapon with his magic and brought the scope to his eye since he had room between him and the hellhound. Dashia and Dyna were just teaming up as he inhaled deeply then exhaled as he compressed the trigger with his magic, firing for the hellhound's head.

[Steel Accord 6,660]

@@Defender of Tomorrow,

 

"Where is Aile our friend and ally? I demand you return her to us before I let anything about our capture slide!" Ezekiel stomped his hoof. Diplomacy took a backseat to his friend's safety and as long as he couldn't see her, he wasn't moving from this position. 

[Midnight_Aurora 571]

Dashia swings a thin cord around Dyna and fastens it to the other side as well. She then says, "Ok that should keep you on. Now let's take Care of him."

 

Dashia flies at the Hellhound. "You know you aren't really bright. Your leaving yourself open for a strike."

 

She flies by letting Dyna take her shot.

[JonasDarkmane 19,785]

Dyna aims with her toss. She had lit the dynamite and was ready to toss. "Be calm, you got this, you have tossed hundreds of dynamites. Nothing new with that.... except you are killing.... not that I have not killed before..... it was an accident" she thought. She then tossed the dynamite, hoping for the best. 

[Ranger22 179]

(Group 2)

The hellhound winced as the energy projectile struck its shoulder, leaving a blackened mass of sizzling dead flesh. Clearly the flying pony tried to use the same trick twice but in a different manner. Ignoring the Pegasus, the hellhound ferociously charged at the unicorn on all fours before leaping at the horned equine with its claws extended. Suddenly a heavy impact slammed into the center of the hellhound's skull blurring its vision and stiffening its limbs, sending the large creature barreling past its intended target. After tumbling through the cave floor the hellhound struggled to get up as it grasped its forehead. Its vision blurry and limbs weak the hellhound desperately slashed away in front of itself in an attempt to kill something in its anger. The hellhound didn't notice the dynamite stick roll by its feet in its angered and confused state. The explosion sent a large shockwave of heat and energy into the hellhounds hide. The blast shattering its bones in to dust and shearing  away its flesh, sending the hellhound reeling on to the floor. The hellhound laid still in a now forming pool of its own blood, twitching and unresponsive.

[Professor Annabella 330]

     It was cold, gloomy, and damp. Not much more was expected from your typical Wasteland day. Walking through the acidic puddles was a single mare. A leather coat was wrapped around her, nearly as black as the surrounding charred and dead trees. She wore a flowing blue scarf, and had a sword strapped to her side that looked so sharp that the slightest touch would probably cut your hoof. The mare herself? Nothing special. A long blond mane, a coat that was a lighter shade of the same blonde. Her eyes were ocean blues and intense in a way, looking so serious and set on something. What was unique about her wasn't the wings, though that was unique in it's self. Instead it was her belly, rounded, and wide. Pregnant? Damn straight, 10 months and proud. Not really the place for such a mare to be wandering, she was lucky her stats weren't dampened too badly. But there were a few disadvantages. A lot of sleep was needed, and a lot of breaks from the common journeys of miles and miles. Things were going well, she just picked back up her journey to another settlement a few miles north of her current location. Only one problem... Anna was hungry. She was... really hungry. On the brink of starvation, she was on a path that lacked any nutrition that wouldn't give her radiation poisoning.

 

    This mare walked along a road, or... at least what used to be a road. It was a back road, branching off a highway coming from Canterlot. She hoped that maybe it'd have a few houses to scavenge through, which seemed to be the case. All Anna had found though was baby supplies, all of which were taking up a could portion of her carry weight. It wasn't too long until this foal of hers would appear, and given her current health, she may be expecting her baby earlier then previously thought.

 

     It had been 3 days since her last morsel of food. That was no good if you take her condition into consideration, as said before. Calories in and out? It wasn't even, she was walking miles with a empty tank and with child. Her mouth watered at the taste of the foods of her home. Fresh cut melons, with hay fries, or maybe fresh apples. A fresh apple was sounding so delicious right now... a apple covered in pickle juice. That would hit the spot.

 

    Anna stopped on the road as she heard a loud boom. Her head turned as she looked around trying to find the source. It came from a cave not to far off, just up the road. Could that mean other ponies, possibly with food? Anna didn't know, but the rain picked up again. Her belly gurgled as she continued to walk... she just needed to... lay down. She laid her weary body down near the cave and watched, but her lack of energy was making her somewhat dose off. Her legs forced her to rest, and her head gave the excuse that she was scouting. Anna wasn't doing either, if she laid here for long, there was a chance she'd never get up.

(Group 2) 

Three dead. Three ponies, the mare and two young stallions had gotten killed by the hellhounds frantic attacks before it fell. Four dead in total, their bodies sitting in pools of their own blood.

 

"This is your fucking fault! If you raiders hadn't shown up they wouldn't be dead!" The older stallion shouted at Chip and Dashia, his eyes subtly tearing up as he fought desperately to hold in his sorrow. "And then you put her in harms way? She's just a child, damn you, she just a child.."

 

He paused a moment and then continued, rage filling his voice "Just get out of my cave now, get the hell out before I blow this whole place to hell!"  The stallion couldn't hold back his rage or sorrow any longer and fell to the floor, sobbing quietly before the body of the mare. The handful of ponies that were lucky enough to have ran quietly sobbed in the background, occasionally glancing up at Chip as if it was his fault this happened.

 

"Fuck you!!" The hellhound repeated mockingly a second after vice had said it and fired off his plasma rifle at him, sending at least five shots at him. Unfortunately for him, the grenade had intersected his rifle's trajectory as he shot the last bullet and it collided with the grenade. The grenade detonated at it was hit and sent the hellhound staggering back, his metal plates had deflected some of the shrapnel but a few pieces dug into its neck. His roared in pain as he knelt, firing off his weapon at least six times accurately before he brought his paw up to block some of the armor piercing bullets that were pelting him. Bullets dug into its chest as it went through his armor like nothing and he brought up his other paw in attempt to block some of the bullets, firing off his weapon again, much less accurately though before falling to the ground as his paw ignited, and flailed about for a few more seconds as he frantically tried to put out the fire with his other paw. Unfortunately again for him, his other paw had caught fire and within a few more seconds the plasma rifle had a nasty reaction to the flame and erupted, the core exploded and plasma sprayed all over the hellhound, effectively melting him into a pile of goo.

[JonasDarkmane 19,785]

Dyna caught a glimpse of the mares body and started tearing up. What had she done? She was now dead because of her. She started to quietly sob as she heard everything the older stallion said. "This is my fault, isn't it? I always do this, I always end up killing the ones that care for me" she whispered to herself. 

[Chip Circuit 1,842]

Chip put his rifle on his back and looked over the group of ponies, seeing the looks of blame and hatred being shot at him. "What did I do, why do they look at me with such hatred... As if I can control a hellhound, I only trying to stop the hellhound before it reached them..." He thought to himself beginning to feel increasingly guilty and depressed.

 

Chip turned from the group of ponies and begun walking toward the exit of the cave, each step was slow and heavy weighed down by his own depression. "Why do I always attract the hatred of others?" He questioned in a whisper to himself  as his head hung in sorrow.

[Midnight_Aurora 571]

Dashia say, "Well fine....Then survive without the help of the nearby city of New Cloudsdayle. I am no bucking raider. If I was a raider I would have left the hound alone and you all would have been dead once it came into the cave."

 

Dashia turn and walks away. She no longer cared for them. "Bucking worthless. Normally I keep an open mind but they are the ones who treat all who aren't of their herd poorly. Also, Dyna chose to fight and her dynamite is what killed the hellhound. Next time think before you speak. My name is Cloudia Dashia of New Cloudsdayle. Good bye."

 

She stomps off.

The world severely slowed down as it always had in S.A.T.S, my actions moved faster then the eye could see. I could see the hail of energy weapon fire flying towards me as I made my shots with Agony. The hellhound responded with a bunch of quick shots with its energy weapon. Luckily the grenade from earlier went off staggering the beast enough to let my rounds impact. Before he hounds inevitable demise it fired a couple of bolts in quick succession which were surprisingly accurate.The heat and pain of an energy weapon hitting you was something you never forget. Three of the shots hit home shearing of portions of my armor and turning it pitch black. The impact and heat from the bolts were enough to cause a portion of my chest plate to cave in putting pressure on to my chest. It felt like hot needles were suddenly wedged in my skin. All the pain seemed to go away as I saw the hellhound burst into flames, causing it's gun to blow up and melt the hellhound into a puddle of green goo. "That's what happens when you mess with talons!" I screamed in victory before feeling the pain all surge back. Grunting in pain I tried my best to hurry along to the mouth of the cave.

    Anna was asleep. Aww, cute wittle sleepy pony. Not really cute at all actually, seeing as she fell asleep behind a rock in a anarchic post apocalyptic world in a bit of a iffy situation. That and she was starving, and was more unconscious than actually sleeping. Was there a difference? Either way she needed food, and probably water too, as soon as possible. Anna needed it before either she died or the baby did, whichever came first.

 

    The sky was still cloudy, and the rain picked up again with it's acidic contents and slight sting when hitting her coat. Anna's jacket somewhat protected her from the rain, but she was completely vulnerable from everything else. The pegasus was only a few yards from the entrance of the cave, only half of her detectable from the entrance. Anna was at the end of her long journey with no fuel in her tank. It was more coincidence that she ended up here than it was concious choice.

(Group 1)

"Yes, of course." The stallion responded softly and motioned to one of his men to fetch Aile. After a few minutes of silence, the stallion had returned with Aile following behind him, her hoof holding an ice pack to her head, however, once she saw Crackshot and Ezekiel she dropped the pack and ran to them.

 

"They smacked you guys on the head too!?" She asked, her voice cracking a bit. She magically levitated the ice pack back to her and put it on her head, wincing. 

 

"Now, if you will come with me, I'm sure you still have questions but hold off on that until we reach our leader." With that, the stallion motioned his men to be on their way and led them through the less populated portion of the city, ponies nevertheless had glanced at them and spoke softly with each other as they passed by them. Finally after awkwardly going through various catwalks, stairs and passageways, they reached the little house at the top of the city. The door was left ajar and the stallion barged into the well-lit room, tables littered the corners of the room and desk-lamps and papers filled the surfaces of the tables. 

 

Just before the stallion was about to speak, the pony standing before the large windows of the room spoke "I see you've brought me the mare in question, but I remember asking just for her". He sighed deeply and turned to his right where a hooded pony stood and whispered to him "I hope these ponies don't cause more trouble than what they are worth, because if they do, that's on you Nova." The hooded pony nodded and extended his hoof to the leader, the chip sitting on there for a moment before the leader magically levitated it out of his grasp and into his magical field. "I presume you know what this is? I would like for you to tell me EVERYTHING you know about it." 

[Unicorncob 5,690]

"Not exactly," Crackshot muttered, glancing down to Aile, "We had to go along since they threatened to kill you."

 

As the trio were led through the town, they were met with many stares from the locals. The rough unicorn's glare sent a few of them scurrying off or looking away.

 

He glanced around the room in the house at the top, mentally snarking how such a dork could cause this much of a headache. Literally, in Aile's case.

 

As the supposed big boss stepped forward to demand answers about the chip, Crackshot glared daggers at him.

"Your fellow caveponies forced us to come here," He grunted, "so I think we're entitled to a few answers ourselves. Starting with who the fuck you all are and what the fuck this all is."

[Steel Accord 6,660]

Ezekiel stood close to Aile, keeping her near as they were escorted to the leader of this secret society.

 

Ezekiel was not sure why the ponies were muttering such rumors as they passed.

 

The shaman knew nothing of computer chips so he was of little help to the leader's question.

[Ranger22 179]

Anna's jacket protected her from the rain, but she was completely vulnerable like this. She was only a few yards from the entrance of the cave, only half her detectable from the entrance due to the rock she was behind. The mare was trying to scout because there some evidence that this cave may have a settlement, and settlement meant food.

I let out a sigh of relief as the heavy metallic pressure on my chest was gone. Thankfully autowagons littered the wasteland roads, being a nice source of scrap metal for my regenerative talisman built into my suit. I didn't know how many times those broken down machines have saved my hide and I didn't want to know, I was just content knowing they were there. Walking further along the path I reached my destination. The large gaping maw of the cave was pitch black save for the glowing mushrooms that filled the area. The rain was back, the annoying pitter patter sounds of dropping water once again filled my ears.

 

Noticing a blip on my E.F.S. which wasn't red, I pulled out my 9mm and cocked the gun, flipping off the safety as I did. The blip seemed to be pointing to a bunch of large rocks near the entrance of the cave. Making my way over to the rocks I readied mercy, despite the E.F.S not detecting danger I wasn't gonna take any chances. Rounding the corner I drew my pistol finger on the trigger "what the fuck?," I quietly yself in response to what I saw. It was a lone "Pegasus" mare dozing off in the middle of nowhere, what was more interesting was that she was pregnant. I gripped my talons into a fist to help ease the anger in my mind at just seeing a Pegasus with enough audacity to walk the same wasteland earth as I did. I took a deep breath to calm myself down, I knew well enough not every single Pegasus was a part of the enclave. The idea itself stopped me from just wasting her when she was vulnerable. From the looks of it she was starving, and bearing a child was not the best time to be starving. Taking out one of the slave collars I received during my service with redeye I made my way over to put it around her neck. "Just a little added security, nothing personal," I stated as I locked the collar around her with a satisfying click. Sitting down next to her I waited till she awoke, the detonator for her collar in my claws.

Dashia had left. She didn't want to deal with them any more. She switched to her custom made light flight power armor and put away her main armor and battle saddle. She still slung to her back the Recharger Rifle.

 

As she moved out she saw a Griffin by some rocks. She calls over to him while approaching. "Hey! What ya doing-"

 

She saw the mare and the slave collar. Her rifle was out faster then one can blink an eye at. "And what do we have here. Drop the device and put your talons up."

 

He can see a deep seeded hate for the collar. She thinks he is a slaver who is escorting a slave.
