open Survival of The Fittest

[OG Blaze 269]

It was February 21st and winter had just passed felt like it was longer than the last one, it's been 10 years since the nuclear warfare stripped our planet of its people and it's materials. In this barren wasteland it's survival of the fittest, and only the strong will survive and live to see the new civilazation being born.

(I hope this entrance post is good, since I wanted to get this RP going and O didn't know hoe to start. I can edit or even delete if its nescesary...(question, even though this is an anthro rp, do we still say everthing with 'pony'? If not, then just act like I didn't do it :3))

 

Her heart pounding was all she heard... It was all she had heard for 10 years.

 

She felt at peace as she was floating around in a void of darkness and silence, feeling nothig bit her own heartbeat. Softly, as if from miles away, she could hear a voice singing. It calmed her as she thoughtlessly floated. Wothout breathing... Without living.

 

Then... Suddendly, she opened her eyes. She could see the light far far away at the surface. She was under water, and felt really sleepy as she slowly floated towards the light. She realised she had been the one who eas singing. Why had this happened? How did she get here?

 

As she reacher the surface and let the air flow into her lungs, she remembered. The blinding lights. The heat, the panicking ponies and the sirens. The sound of a blast so enormous that your eardrums instantly ripped. She shivered and moaned. She remembered why she was here, in this underwater cave that had provided her safety from the warheads. She had gone here herself, using healing and protecting magic with the water she was submerged in... For ten years. She had been in a comatic state underwater fot ten years...

 

The thought of it made her even more depressed and in agony. "everypony I knew is dead..." She thought as she sobber and climbed to the cave exit. The sun was setting outside. The world was silent and empty. She didn't know what to do, so she did what she did most. She started to sing, trying to attract as many ponies as possible towards her, if there were any at all as she walked in a random direction, sobbing and stumbling all the way.

 

"Going home without my sorrow, going home sometime tomorrow, going home to where it's better than before... Going home without my burden, going home behind the curtain, going home withou-."

 

She stopled singing the song with the sad melody and collapsed. She cried and screamed and suffered. Her heart was heavy as she screamed. "Somepony...Anypony!" And then her throat felt like it had been screaming for hours. She whispered. "Tell me this is just a bad dream..." As she sobbed some more and closed her eyes. She felt lonely.

Rye heard the sounds of a pony nearby, he pulled out his L96A1 and inched closer to the pony who was crying. Near a small river a mare sat on the ground with her head in her hooves, this could be just a raider trick, he knew better than to trust just any crying pony who seemed in need of help. He pulled back the bolt, "Hey! Hey! Get up and keep your hooves above your head!" Rye yelled as he gently came down the hill with his magic lifting up the sniper at the mare. "Who are you?" He asked.

Streamsung looked up at a yelling pony who had approached her. She didn't hear exactly what he was saying and the tears in her eyes made it hard to see. She wiled her eyes and then she saw an agressive looking satllion with a sniper rifle pointed at her...

 

@burning endurance

 

"AAAH! Don't point that thing at me! Please don't hurt me!" She screamed. "Is the war still going on? Am I too early? Please!" She would like to explain to this stallion who she was, but it was too complicated to tell while under aim of a heavy caliber weapon... She was too scared to say anything comprehendable.

Rye scanned the area for any unsuspecting bushes or raiders nearby. Rye had too many encounters with a seemingly harmless pony but then gets shot in the back by raiders. Rye lowered the high caliber sniper from the sky and slipped it gently into the sniper holster on his back. She wasn't that old if she asked if the war was over. Rye held out his hand, "You out here all alone?" Rye asked

End Game's head turns at the cries of a pony, followed by what could only be the ominous click of a bolt action rifle. For all ten years since the event, he didn't like to think that he was part of an atomic mass-extinction, he had regretted working with the other researchers on a nuclear weapon. Ever since he had tried his best to help other ponies survive, but for some reason everyone he traveled with died, as if he was cursed to bring death to anyone he tried to befriend. His formerly bored look becomes a mask of determination, "Not anymore. Not this time." He says as he walks over to the strange meeting of ponies, "Well howdy there, is something wrong?" He says as he casually levitates a grenade from his pack.

Rush was wandering looking for... anything, really- when he heard screaming in the distance. He hurried towards it, although by the time he got there it seemed the danger was over, as the three ponies there seemed to be fine.

"I thought I heard screaming. Is something wrong?"

@burning endurance

 

"Yes, I am alone... And I have no idea what is going on." She was silent for a while and tried to think of a way to quickly explain what had happened to her: "Long story short, I've been in a magical coma under water for 10 years and I just woke up..." She said. She immeadiately felt stupid. As if that was sufficient explanation to a stallion like that. "Is the war over? Are there no more bombs?" She asked again. She then saw the other two stallions around her, all with weaponry. She reckoned not...

Rye pulled his hand away and lifted up his sniper again aiming at the bypasses that had come by, "Think you could throw that grenade faster then I could shoot it out of your hoof" Rye said slyly, he likes being able to intimidate his opponents, he wondered if this mare really was working with a raider camp.

[Waterfall 13]

 Lost Flame came out from her cave; her safe spot; just to see if anyone was alive. Anyone she knew. She started walking towards her neighborhood to see if anyone in her family or friends were alive; but when she got there she found her family's, friends, children; she used to babysit; and neighbors bodies lying all over the ground. She started sobbing and fell to the ground, until she heard screaming of some pony on the next block. She got up; still crying; and started galloping towards the screaming.

[FractalMoon 378]

End Game laughs, "Yes, yes I could, but do I'm only trying to make sure that nopony is going to kill somepony for no good reason. Last I checked, a sniper rifle is a tad overkill for a filly. And anyway, if you haven't noticed Equestria's gone to hell. We need to work together, not kill eachother."

[Waterfall 13]

 As Lost Flame arrived, she heard some pony say "We need to work together, not kill each other". She slowly walked up to the three of them; with her hooves in the air; and said "That's true. We have witnessed enough murder and deaths with the war". She put her hooves back on the ground, and walked towards them.

[OG Blaze 269]

Rye lowered his bolt action rifle, he hadn't been used to seeing a lot of friendly pony's, he then turned his attention to the pony on the ground. He put his hoof out once more to greet the new pony, hibernating in the water? Whoever hear did sown thing like that? Seems crazy to me but between the nuclear explosives and everything else Rye has seen this want actually that strange

[Waterfall 13]

 If we're going to work together, we are going to have to find a place to stay. We are going to need food and weapons and lots of them. We all have lost people we know and love because of the raider camp already. If we are going to work together we are going to have to get to know each other, but we can do that once we find food, weapons, and a place to stay.

[Alex Kennedy 1,228]

Rush mostly just stood there as this all went on around him. If they were going to work together, he might as well tag along, but otherwise, he'd be fine continuing on his own. That said, there were two fairly good-looking mares here, and he'd hate to pass up an opportunity like that. "So the lot of us are working together now, then?"

[Waterfall 13]

Yes we are and it looks like i am in charge cause no one else is stepping up.  "By the way boys I am single and plan to stay that way. The reason I say that is because I saw one of you boys looking at us girls like we're a piece of meat; we are not one, and we are not about to be one".

Lost Flame sat down and said "Can we please go? I do not know if the enemy is still alive and I do not want to find out. So lets get out of here and try to find a house that is still sturdy enough to live in for us all. So we can sit here and find out if the enemy is gone or not, or we can go find a place to stay and arm ourselves ponies. if not it's your life not mine. So are you all coming?"

[Alex Kennedy 1,228]

@@Waterfall,

 

Rush shook his head. "Now miss, you've got me all wrong! I don't see you as a piece of meat, but as a priceless work of art, to be cherished and protected. That's not really so bad, is it?" He smiled in a way that he hoped was reassuring. The last thing he wanted was to alienate her.

 "I guess but don't step out of line, because if you do lets just say you are the one who is going to be protected, and just do as I say. Now lets get out of here, I since danger and I do not want to die. Although I should be dead along with my family. Someone is watching us, across the lake. So we better get going."

Short circuit put on his solar powered backpack, it had a battery inside where the power collected from the solar panel that had to coped wires running along his arm. Giving him power at a moments notice...tho each day it only was enough to power a light bulb. But he needed the electricity for his body, he craved it.

[Waterfall 13]

Lost Flame noticed want the pony with wires running on his body was doing and said "That is really neat. You could do a lot of damage."

 All of sudden  she felt someone sneaking up behind her, so to protect herself, she com-busted into flames. When she looked behind her no one was there. 

[OG Blaze 269]

(((Sorry had to do some things)))

Rye didn't agree with the stallion he just met but he agreed with him on one thing that they had to get away from this place, something didn't feel right here, " Alright I don't really have anywhere to go at night I mostly just wander, so if you to go anywhere I'll follow, I'd like to keep an eye on this one" Rye looked to the water mare who has been hibernating.

[Waterfall 13]

 "Well guys, on the way here, i saw this mansion that we can stay in, that is still standing surprisingly. How about we go there, and on the way we find supplies that will do us."   Lost Flame started walking and noticed no one was coming, so she turned around and said " Are you all coming, and is someone going to wake her up?"

[OG Blaze 269]

*sigh* Rye uses his magic to put the tired mare on his back, he wouldn't be able to draw his sniper but someone had to carry her, "Sounds good, we can all stay in the mansion until this one feels better" he nodes at the mare in front of him, he didn't trust any of these people but a danzel in distress needed Rye's help and he sure want going to turn her down.

[Waterfall 13]

 "Ok than lets go" 

  She started walking from the way she came earlier; hoping to lead everyone to safety. She couldn't take losing them, they were her only chance to make up for running away from that invasion from her house, that killed her family. While walking al she could think was I have to be strong and take care of them. I can't have their deaths on my hands. I don't think I can take another lose. Not to mention she soon would have a baby on her hands, from that guy who made her little sister watched while he rapped her. I can not believe I left them all to die, when I could help to fight and they would be alive. Or I would be dead to.    Lost Flame thought. 

[OG Blaze 269]

The raiders in this town were ruthless, he headed and seen there actions first hand, they were tea antes to each other's and didn't respect anyone else, they came into homes and massacred family's while making the little ones watch, Rye wasn't going to let anyone die on his watch, he didn't need any more deaths haunting his dreams every night.
