Fallout Equestria Delta - proof of concept

Here's the result of madness, sparta, and Fallout 3 and the fallout 4 hype train.
Enjoy!

Note: There is very little editing for this story. So, well, that. I wrote it out, got it out of my head, and well, I hope you all enjoy it.

“It happened… it finally happened… we have reports of multiple megaspell detonations across the zebra… we have confirmed reported of detonations of megaspells all across Equestria.”

Oh Celestia… Jangle Jacket, the gruff orange unicorn dropped his scotch, his eyes glued on the small kitchen television.

“We have coming reports of megaspell detonations… Manehatten, Canterlot, Ponyville are gone. More megaspells launches are headed towards...my god…”

The sirens outside began to beam.

Oh celestia, please no…

“We’re seemed to lost contact with our affiliate stations…the soldiers were right…”

“...war...war never changes.”

Jangal closed his eyes. And neither does family, he told himself.

“To everypony still watching this, stay calm and-” By the time the picture on the television turned white, then to a permanent static, Jangle was already outside of the room.

“Ok, get gun, get it, and get to the Stable.” Jangle told himself as he ran out of the room and tried to run to his study.

Instead, he bumped into a light purple unicorn mare holding Jangle’s infant son.

“Jangle! By Luna, the bombs, they’re coming!” she said to him.

“Dinky, keep it together. We’re gonna be ok. We just need to get into the Stable, we’ll be safe there.”

He pulled his hyperventlating wife into a hug. “It’s going to be ok. Honey, it’s going to be ok.”

“Jangle…” Dinky Doo began to say to her husband, before The sirens blared again.

Jangle ended the hug. He placed a hoof on her shoulder. “We need to get to the stable.Go outside. I’ll be there in a minute.”

“Jangle, we need to get going now!”

“It’ll be ok. Go outside. I’ll be there in a minute. I need to grab my gun, just in case.”

“Jangle, we don’t have time...”

“Trust me Dinky, please.”

Dinky closed her eyes. “One minute. Promise me. One.”

“I promise.”

A promise made, Dinky Doo carried her child out of her husband’s sight.

Jangle Jacket ran into his study like a madpony. Instantly, he began tearing open closets with his telekinetic magic.

“Where is it where is it…” he muttered to himself as he searched his secure study. His eyes lit up as he found the first thing he desperately needed.

“Yes!”

With magic, he snatched his saddlebag out of the bottom of his study’s closet and tied it on him. As soon as he could, he began to jam other things within it.

A book, a gun, a flask, a pill bottle, a glowing hornring, a hidden hoofblade, a diamond necklace, and...

Two minutes later Jangle Jacket, saddlebags equipped, emerged from his study. He bobbed and weaved through his house one final time. He knew, he would never be returning here again. At the end of this final trip, was his wife at the front door. A small little saddle was on his Dinky’s back, their child was securely strapped in.

“About time! Jangle, let’s go!”

He nodded, and the trio ran out.

The sirens were getting louder.

Airships were all flying in a single direction. No cars or vehicles were on the street, galoping ponies were. Pegasus flew through the air, all in the same direction.

It was a pretty sure guess that was the correct way to go.

“To the stable! It’s at the top of the hill!” They overheard another pony yell to another.

Stable 111, at the top of Sanctuary hill. Leftside entrance, keep your metal shown, make sure noone else follows.

“I don’t care if we don’t have a ticket, they have to let us in! We’ll die out here!” Said another on the way.

On the path to the top of the hill. The couple noticed an elderly couple, sitting on their front porch holding hooves.

Jangle knew what that meant. No ticket. No entry into the stable.

The husband resumed focus.

The two reached the bottom of the hill. All the ponies running down the road were turning right alongside the road, the obvious trail up the hill alongside the road. Jangle and Dinky turned left.

As soon as they left the street, they heard the blare of a car’s horn. Several thuds. Jangle’s instinct told him what it was: death and chaos. The rest of him pushed it back down. His family was at risk. That was what was important. The everything else could for all he cared, (and was going to regardless), burn.

Inside the small forest, the treeway gave out to a tall barbed fence and a gate in the distance,.and beyond that he saw the entrance at the top of Sanctuary Hill. The earth and steel sanctuary, with ponies all over it.

He saw a tall chainlink fence, a pair of soldiers. And bodies. Ponies who didn’t have a ticket, and who didn’t take no for an answer. Jangle made quick note of the soldier’s assault rifles. The two stood in the path of the

“Halt!” shouted the first solder. “Stop or we’ll shoot!”

Dinky Doo pulled a pair of tickets out of the one of the side pockets of her saddle.

“We have our ticket! Let us in!”

“I’m sorry ma'am. For anypony going to the stable you need to go to the hillside entrance, not-”

Jangle pulled out a metal from his saddlebag, and flashed both soldiers his military rank.

“Privates,” He told them.

Both soldiers rose to their hindlegs and gave Jangle a salute. “Sir!”

They stepped aside.

“Right this way sir! It’s just a little more, but hurry, the crowds are going to knock down the fence and rush in any moment. The moment that happens we’re clamming up. Hurry!”
“Thank you gentlecolts.” Jangle said before running past them, Dinky in toe passing by.

On cue, the couple and their children who were behind him were stopped by the same pair of soldiers.

“No entry here Ma’am. Please turn around!” Said one of them.

“You have to let us through!” The mare shouted.

“We saw you let them through,” said the red pegasus filly, pointing at Jangle and his wife.

"Comeon Dinky, we need to get going." Jangle began to go up the path. Dinky did not.

“Please, at least let our children through,” pleaded the husband.

Jangle noticed he his wife wasn't following, and turned to her. "We need to help them." she said.

“I’m sorry sir.” The soldier said, his gun held up, blocking the path of the family. “The four of you need to get to the front entrance. They’ll let everyone who doesn’t have a ticket pass until they reach max capacity. You have time. ”

Jangle disagreed. "There's nothing we can do for them, we have to go, now."

Ditzy looked at Jangle. “Use your rank again. Come-on, show a little decency,” she whispered to him. “Please, now before…”

The mother rushed the guards and grabbed the soldier closest to her.

“You have to let us through! There’s no time! The bomb’s about to drop! We have to get in! You two as well! We all need to get-” A rifle pointed at the mare’s face quickly ended her plee.

“Ma’am.” the soldier callously said. “Leave now, or I will open fire.”

Jangle closed his eyes, tensed up. “The crowds are gonna be here any minute, you heard the chaos on the main road. It’s coming here any minute. We don’t have time.”

“Take your hooves off my wife!” the husband shouted, and found the other soldier’s rifle was in his face.

“Sir! Stand down and leave now! You have till the count of five! Five!”

Ditzy glared at her husband in anger. “We don’t have time to do the right thing?! Seriously, listen to yourself dear. Help them!”

“Four! We will fire!”

“And risk your life?!” Jangle said back. “They’ll throw us out back with them! They’re gonna leave, they’re not gonna stay and get shot.”

The family did not move.

“Three!” They all heard the click of the soldiers’ guns cocking.

“Was my mother really right about you? Prove her wrong.” Dinky said to her husband.

“Two!”

Dinky’s glare bore holes in Jangle. “Jangle Jacket, help them. Now.”

“One! This is your last warning!”

There would be no fighting this. Jangle sighed and turned around. With magic, he turned off his gun’s safety.

“Gentlecolts!” He shouted to the soldiers. “They’re with us. Let them through. The lady is right as well, you two need to leave as well. As a superior officer, I order you two to abandon this post and retreat to the shelter.”

The two soldiers looked at eachother, then back to the orange unicorn. The three all knew, he held nothing. In times of emergency, nothing Jangle had no power to make them move. At least the bribe of life might get them to move.

The air held heavy as the two soldiers decided the fate of the lives around them.

“Let them through private.” Jangle held his breath. His mind went over worst case scenarios. He was in little condition for a fight, any stray shot would endanger his wife and child. His magic ready to grab his gun and begin firing with one step, and push his wife into the bushes with the second step.

After what seemed like forever, the guards moved.

“As you wish sir.” The two stepped aside, allowing the family to pass. “You four may pass.”

“Thank you so much!” said the pair of pegasus. They grabbed their foals and rushed ahead, flying as fast as they could to the top of the hill and abandoning the four land-bound ponies..

“Happy?” Jangle asked his wife. They might just have taken our spot.

Unaware at her husband’s thoughts Dinky smiled, and nodded at the good deed. “Let’s go.”

Without another moment to waste, they ran.

-----------------=

The sirens doubled in speed. There were no more airships in the sky. The air itself felt frantic, like nature itself was struggling to get inside the safety of the stable.

Jangle and Dinky made it to the top of Sanctuary Hills.

“We’re V.I.P.’s let us through.” Dinky said to the umpteenth soldier.

“Wait right here ma’am. The next lift will have you. We’re maxed out on this one. It’ll be back up in a few minutes.”

Of course. Jangle thought to himself, looking at the platform that should have contained him.

“Stand clear! The platform is going down now!” Shouted one of the pegasus soldiers. The family of pegasus from before, sitting right ontop of the ramp where he would have been, had they not come. He saw the couple hug their children in a big group hug. Jangle sighed as they were lowered down, instead of he and his wife.Their family was safe, his was not. The large, plump pony infront of them, the stallion next in line, coughed.

For Jangle, time felt like it was slowing down, taunting him and taking twice as long as it should. Seconds felt like minutes, minutes felt like hours. Each moment another second closer to...

The ears of the soldiers all surrounding the stable pricked up. The pegasus soldiers in the air froze. Everyone turned to the sky, all looking in the same direction.

The megaspell.

They could see the megaspell in the distance, the weapon of mass destruction was now visible to all. The end was here.

The five soldiers all surrounding the hole jumped in, uncaring at the depth. The flying pegasus made a nosedive to reach inside the sanctuary.

Everyone heard the click and turning of gears. The stable doors began closing. Everyone outside knew they would not live to see the doors reopen. Ponies outside screamed, pain overtaking their souls.

The end was coming. They were going to die.

But not to Jangle. He would not die, not here. He had survived basic training, he had survived every challenge Equestria had thrown at him. He had survived in the ditches against the warring Zebra, fighting tooth and claw against the invading bastards. He survived countless bullet-wounds that would have claimed any other pony.

He did not go this far, to die here, screaming, like a worthless filly to a worthless bomb.

He would live. And so would his family.

Magic forming into a wedge generated infront of him, He batted away the large screaming pony infront of him. He grabbed his wife’s hoof, pulled her with him and jumped into the closing hole.

He pulled his arms around his falling wife as he heard a chorus of screams to a noise-deafening boom and the stable doors closing above him

“DINKY! I LOVE YOU!”
