Chapter One
Enter, The Other Dimension

"What happened! And why can't I see. This is eerily similar to when I got lobotomized by tribals."

"At least you didn't have your brain put in a jar and have it still broadcasting to your body."

"I was a brain in a jar for over eighty years. I win."

"You all lose, I'm seeing pastel coloured... Ponies?"

"Yeah okay you win."

"I've only had that much jet and psycho one time. I ended up single handedly wiping out the legion and kicked the NCR out of Vegas."

"Yeah our government still remembers that."

"Why did we agree to let some NCR come along?"

"Becau-" just as the Courier was saying that a loud crack echoed around the area and a distinct pinging sound soon followed. "Which one of you just shot me?" he replied a few seconds after the gunshot.

"Die bitch!!" was all he got in response.

"Oh, so that's how you want to play it? Well two can play at that game." after saying that the Courier pulled the biggest gun to ever grace mass production in the wastes out of thin air. "Taste the wrath of my Anti-Material Rifle!" the courier yelled whilst hip firing the AA Rifle, easily ripping apart the pony that had shot him.

"That's not overkill enough for my tastes." replied the Wanderer as she pulled a long glowing tube from her back.

"What's that?"

"What happens when the Brotherhood gets a hold of alien technology." and with that she fired at the last armed pony, enveloping him in light and a few seconds later a sizzling sound could be heard before the pony exploded in a blue mushroom cloud. "Ah that's a satisfactory level of overkill."

"I win hands down for overkill grade weaponry." replied the Lieutenant. "But first we should probably make sure that those two natives aren't gonna try and kill us."

"Oh right, I tend to face against insurmountable challenges on a daily basis."

"Sure. So little equine are you going to attack us?"

Both the ponies both nodded vigorously. "Good. Now can either of you lead us to the nearest town so we can get a few-"

"WHY does my Pip-boy already have a map of this place?"

"Dunno but my Pimp-Boy 3 Billion is doing the same thing."

"What's a Pimp-Boy 3 billion?"

"A pimped our Pip-boy."

"Okay you lot, I've gotten this equine to give use directions to a forest town. It's over there." he said whilst pointing at an ominous looking forest. "Shouldn't take too long."

-----(Three hours later)-----

"You sure it said there's a town in here?"

"Yes. Though I think it may have been sending us to our untimely deaths in a forest of doom."

"BAHAHAHAHAHA!!" at that the Warrior, the Courier and the Wanderer all cracked up laughing

"Oh if only it knew just how unkillable we really are."

"Hey! Look there's a cave here!"

"I wouldn't go in there if-" suddenly The Couriers loot sense divined a large cache of high quality loot. In a soft demonic tone he proclaimed "Looooooot" easily scaring the shit out of the local wildlife (and even afew expedition members). Suddenly the Courier took off into the cave with impossible speed.

"Oh yeah I guess the elder forgot to mention his Loot Sense."

"I want that sense."

"Dave your sixth sense is how you figure out how to break physics on a regular basis... WHY is that tree floating upside?"

"I was a Cockatrice."

"Those are mythical creatures... aaaaannnd there's one right behind me isn't there?"

"Yeah, how did you know?"

"Lucky guess." spinning around Amelia delivered a strong right hook to the Cockatrice sending it flying into a tree with a loud CRACK. "I think I chipped a nail." she remarked whilst continuing as if she didn't just punch a mythical creature into a tree. "What's everyone looking at?"

"Why are there stars moving across those trees?"

"Dave..."

"Hey I haven't done that since the observatory back in primary school."

Suddenly The Courier was sent flying by a massive bear claw that came from nowhere. "Alright that's it, I'm pissed." suddenly all the NCR troopers and Initiates present ran away as fast as they could.

"Wonder what their problem is."

"Dunno but maybe it has something to do with that little pistol he's holding."

"TASTE THE WRATH OF ARCHIMEDES II!!" he pointed the pistol at the starry bear and watched as nothing happened. "Wait... what? That should have worked."

"Well we are in another dimension."

"Screw it I'm just gonna shoot it with my pistol on overkill level three settings."

"Those are actually settings for your pistol?"

"Yes, normal firing, Overkill level one, Overkill level two and overkill level three. There's also redundantly over powered, but I doubt we need to bust any bunkers hidden three milometers under the planets surface anytime soon."

"SO you gonna shoot it or what?" asked The Courier as he went flying past them and into a tree, breaking it into a pile of saw dust, before standing up and rejoining the group.

"Sure." responded the Lieutenant as he took aim. "Taste the wrath of ULTRA-CORP AMALGAMATED!!" he yelled at the top of his lungs as he fired three rounds, all but one of which missed and watched as the mountains in the distance erupted in explosions and a giant bear went flying through the air with a massive hole in it.

"Why Ultra-corp Amalgamated?"

"Because that's the company that makes the gun I used."

"That makes some form of sense."

"Well I'm off to loot that cave. Cya in a bit."

"I'm gonna join you. I need some experience looting."

"You've never looted before?"

"No, never."

"Oh I have some things to teach you indeed..." he said as they walked into the cave leaving the others outside.

"Think we should tell the others it's safe to comeback?"

"Sure, but how are we gonna get them back."

"I have an idea." The Wanderer suddenly took a big breath and bellowed out at the top of her lungs "IT'S OVER! YOU CAN COME BACK NOW!"

"That should about do it."

They both heard the others returning when a large creature that looked like a cross between a scorpion, a bat and a lion attempted to tackle The Warrior. It suddenly found itself a severe case of death the moment the Warrior saw it pouncing.

"It you just kill a manticore with one punch?"

"It was to where I thought its frontal lobe was."

"I don't think its frontal lobe's in its chest."

"So what if i failed miserably at biology, it's dead isn't it?"

"True. now i suggest we leave a note for the others telling them where we've gone."

"We're going somewhere?"

"Yes. We're gonna get out of this forest and set up a base camp"

"That sounds like an excellent idea." the two suddenly jumped in surprise when H.W. Guy was suddenly standing next to them.

"How long have you been standing there?"

"Since about halfway through your conversation."

"So where we heading?"

"I saw a hill with clear plains around it we could use on our way here."

"Sounds good."

-----(Inside the cave)-----

"So far we've found nothing but these useless shiny rocks and that weird scaled creature we killed on top of that pile of gold. I know my Loot Sense picked up on some high quality loot in here."

"HEY! I found something." the Lieutenant called as he jogged up to the Courier with a golden amulet embedded with those shiny rocks he'd seen in the cave."

"Looks valuable. Well let's delve deeper." suddenly they both heard a cacophonous noise emanating from deep within the tunnel. "Well looks like we have another reason to go deeper, eh?"

"Yeah, lemme just put on this amulet so i don't use up pack space."

"Now that's the way a proper scavenger should behave!"

As the lieutenant put on the strange amulet a golden aura enveloped him, which neither of them noticed. "Okay we should probably go deeper now."

"We've been exploring this surprisingly large cave for thirty minutes now, and all we have to saw for it are these shiny rocks and enough gold to drown a camel."

"Why a camel?"

"Why not?"

"Because they're extinct?"

"Oh yeah, well in that case then, we also have enough gold to drown a Deathclaw. Why did my Pimp-Boy just say we discovered Dragons Den?"

"Because I think we found a dragons den."

"Oh yeah, this thing can be pretty unimaginative sometimes."

"So if we're in a dragons den, then where's the dragon?"

"That's a valid point, where is it?"

"Behind you." replied a deep gravelly voice.

"Oh, you can talk. Well that was unexpected."

"We travel between dimensions find talking ponies and a talking dragon is what you fins unexpected?"

"I've survived Big Mt, your argument is invalid."

"Why are you in my lair? Are you trying to steal my hoard?"

"No. My loot sense said there was some good loot in here. Obviously it lied. All we've found so far are these shiny rocks and enough gold to drown a Deathclaw."

"Those 'shiny rocks' as you call them are really priceless jewels and gemstones."

"I have no idea what ether of those are."

"Me neither, and I was educated in Aquos."

"You have been stealing my treasure and therefore must DIE!"

"Or we could, you now, kill you and continue looting this cave."

"What makes you think you can kill a dragon?"

"Our redundantly overpowered gear?"

"Why is it redundantly overpowered?"

"Because my pistol can bust a bunker."

"Okay."

"Three kilometers underground."

"You sure you're not packing megaspells in that thing?"

"Megaspell?"

"Well a megaspell is a-Hang on! I'm supposed to be killing you and eating your corpses."

The two easily dodged the dragon as it breathed fire at them. "Stay still so I can kill you!" shouted the dragon.

"Or we could shoot you with our more redundantly overpowered weapons, right Lieutenant?"

"I'm not using my Grid Rifle on its maximum setting in here."

"Why not?"

"It's used to take down Alliance Experimentals."

"Ah, well just shoot the dragon with its lowest setting."

"Sure." and with that they both opened fire on the dragon tearing its scaled skin apart as if it were tinfoil.

"How is it possible such puny creatures can possess such powerful weapons?" roared the dragon as it was slowly reduced to a pile of steaming flesh.

"SCIENCE MOTHAFUCKA!" they both replied as they unleashed a final barrage that finally ended the dragons life.

"Well that was interesting." commented the Courier as they finished up looting the dragons lair.

"Yeah. Who knew we'd be the first humans to kill a dragon?"

"Yeah. I hereby dub thee Sir Lieutenant Chaser, slayer of dragons."

"And I dub thee Sir Courier, legendary looter."

They both broke out in laughter at their little joke as they finished searching the massive circular chamber the dragon called home.

"Hey look. I found a whole bunch of amulets and jewellery. Why does it all have a slight glowing sheen to it"

"It's probably just the light reflecting off of them."

"Good point. Well we should probably take them so we can say we at least got some loot out of this endeavor."

"Yeah and we also got like two hundred dragon scales, and some of its bones."

"I took its teeth."

"Why?"

"Because they're incredibly sharp and highly magnetic."

"Dragon tooth rounds?"

"Dragon tooth rounds."

"Sweet, the others are gonna be so jealous."

"Yeah, but we should save them for 'Special' occasions."

"Yeah, not very often you can use bullets made of dragons teeth."

"So should we head back with all this loot?"

"Lets."

-----(Thirty minutes later)-----

"Where are they?"

"I dunno. Hey look they left a note."

Gone to these coordinates to set up shop.
See you there.

"Well that was straight to the point."

"Of course it was. It is a note telling us where they're going, not asking how we are."

"True. Oh look, some blue flowers. If I got these back to the Think Tank I'm sure they could analyze it and tell me its properties."

"And why would you want that?"

"Coz this is a land of magical unicorns."

"You just want to see you can use magic don't you?"

"Of course, imagine the stuff I could get done with a fireball. I could probably even purge radiation from the soil."

"Well then lets get as many samples as we can so we can both check if we can use magic."

"Hells yes we should." as they were about to take some samples, the blue flowers lept out of the ground and touched their exposed faces before going back into the ground and moving away.

"Well that was weird."

"Yeah, why are you a power armored horse?"

"What?" the Courier looked at himself and discovered to his (severe) confusion that he was, indeed a power armored horse. "Huh. That's new."

"You've had worse haven't you."

"Yes I have. One time I was inexplicably turned into a cat for a day."

"Some weird shit happens in New Vegas."

"Of course, otherwise it wouldn't have an insanely old pre-war genius residing in my basement."

"Do i even want to know?"

"Not really. Also while I may be a horse at least I'm not a moving tree."

"I'm an Ent?"

"Yeah."

"Good thing i can just make anew body and transfer my consciousness to it, sadly it's a one one time thing per excursion."

"Ah, I see. It would really suck if, oh wait you're not an Ent. I'm just high on jet again."

"That's lucky."

"Yeah you're really some sorta cross between a unicorn and a winged horse now."

"And I'm also a female?"

"Nope, still male."

"Let's just get to the base camp so we can find a cure for this."

"Don't you think they'll just shoot us on site?"

"Nah, they won't do that."

-----(At the under construction base camp)-----

"So it's agreed we shoot anything that comes near us that is armed."

"It's not like the locals have anything that can harm us."

"Yeah he just jinxed it."

"Thanks a lot Frank, now they're gonna have fuckin' miniguns and missile launchers."

"Maybe you don't get bitch slapped for saying certain things?"

"Or it could do it to the exact same level."

"Why do you say that?"

"Because there's power armored ponies with miniguns and missile launchers approaching us."

"How many?"

"At least thirty."

"We are so boned."

"Or we could use the MIRV on them."

"We only have seven mini nukes."

"Well at least we have a Fatman."

"Should I fire a warning shot?"

"Yes." at that moment the power armored ponies opened fire on them. "Or you could shoot to kill."

"Sounds good."

-----(Amongst the Steel Rangers)-----

"So it looks like there are in fact aliens."

"Should we exterminate them and salvage their tech?"

"Of course that's what we should do. FIRE!"

"That one has a Balefire Egg Launcher."

"Those don't look like Balefire Eggs to me. OH SHIT! Brace for impact!" one of the aliens with someform of Balefire Egg Launcher on its shoulder opened fire on the Steel Rangers. When the object it launched collided with the ground it erupted with the biggest explosion the Steel Rangers had ever seen, easily dwarfing a Balefire Egg.

After the smoke had cleared over half the Steel Rangers lay dead or dying in the area surrounding the alien encampment. "Fall back! They are too strong!"

Heading away from the aliens they spotted two ponies emerging from the Everfree Forest. "Hey get away from here! There's aliens with insurmountable fire power attacking us."

"Well I suppose we could kill some aliens."

"I haven't killed any Xenos since the Indonesia incident."

"What happened there?"

"I don't remember."

"Aww, well lets go kill us some aliens."

"Wait! They'll kill you!" the captain of the steel rangers told them.

"Yeah and I'm not wearing Saturnite power armor."

"Well whatever, it's your funeral." the Steel Rangers then continued onwards towards their base.

-----(At the edge of the Everfree)-----

"So how do you think we should break being turned into equines to the rest of the team?"

"I should be fine for them believing me. I own the only suit of Saturnite Power Armor, you however have nothing they can use to verify if you're telling the truth. So all-in-all you're screwed."

"Neural pattern identifiers."

"What?"

"It's what we use to lock our armories."

"Well if you pass that then you're in I guess."

"Are those power armored ponies running towards us?"

"Yes it is."

"We should probably be confused right now."

"Yep,"

"We've too much weird shit to ever be confused again haven't  we?"

"Yep."

"Hey! Get away from here! There's aliens with insurmountable firepower attacking us!"

Well I suppose we could kill some aliens."

"I haven't killed any Xenos since the Indonesia incident."

"What happened there?"

"I don't remember."

"Aww, well lets go kill us some aliens."

"Wait! They'll kill you!" 

Yeah and I'm not wearing Saturnite Power Armor"

"Well whatever, it's your funeral."

"Think the aliens they were referring to were was our expedition team?"

"Obviously."

"Well lets head over there."

"Sure."

-----(Back at the nearly complete base camp)-----

"Hey guys!"

"Anyone ear that?"

"I did." called H.W. Guy from his workshop.

"So they must be back then."

"Hehe, I think they got turned into ponies."

"This reminds me of the Indonesia Incident all over again." mumbled one of the Union Marines.

"What was that?"

"Oh it was nothing, certainly not me mentioning a classified incident that happened in Indonesia."

"Oh, okay then carry on."

"You really don't care do you?"

"No. All I care about is the fact that two people on our team are quite possibly ponies."

"Nice place you built here."

"Well that's clearly the Courier." the Doctor said pointing at the pony in red power armor. "And the other is quite clearly Lieutenant Chaser."

"And you know that how?"

"Because I tasked an observation drone to watch over them in case they did something stupid."

"Makes sense. So what happened?"

"They got attacked by magic blue flowers that turned them into ponies, also the Lieutenant s now an alicorn."

"Well at least it's not as creepy as a two hundred year old girl who lives on an alien mothership."

"Nothings gonna creep you out is it?"

"Not in the slightest. Now we should probably get those two some help."

"We know nothing about magic. Although Chaser is an Alicorn now... Yes that might work."

"What might work?"

"We just need to get someone to teach chaser magic then he can change himself back."

"Sounds like it will take awhile."

"I spent three months in the Arctic, this is nothing."

"What's the Arctic?"

"Formerly known as New Zealand the Arctic is nothing but a frozen wasteland covered with destroyed military bases and inhabited by a massive sentient worm that possesses the knowledge of the meaning of life."

"So?"

"No I'm not sharing the meaning of life with you, it took me three months of mental training to even grasp its basic meanings."

"That's really deep."

"Yes but we should probably set about making them some more comfortable and less over powered armor ad weapons."

"Why?"

"So they will find the task more difficult and not breeze through it like me and a university entrance exam."

"Right. Also how's that Transmogrifier thingy?"

"It turns out it isn't actually the Transmogrifier."

"What is it?"

"A piece of metal with the words 'You pissed me off so I'm sending you to another dimension assholes' on it."

"Ah, who's it from?"

"Dunno. But it has The Universal Genre Savvy Guide on the back."

"Ok. Ah they've reached the outer wall."

-----(Outside the base camp)-----

"So when do you think they'll finally take notice of us?"

"Oh in around three minutes."

"Yeah probably. At least it's not like we have to survive through like two waves of ghoul ponies... Fuck."

"You just had to say i didn't you?"

"It's not my fault!"

"Now we have to fight off a horde of zombies... Any second now. Aaaaannny second now."

"I don't thi-"

"Don't speak!"

"Sorry."

After waiting in silence for several minutes the gates to the base camp opened out and allowed them access to the camp. All around were piles of supplies, building materials, armor and weapons, and various other oddities.

"They really build fast don't they?"

"Yeah those Initiates I 'asked' to do this really do work fast."

"I'm not gonna ask how you persuaded them to do all the work. Anyway can you possibly find a cure to our conditions?"

"The Doctor has suggested that the Lieutenant here learns magic so he can change you both back, coz science can't do shit to help you."

"Fair enough. But where am I supposed to learn magic *DING* there we go, Pip-Boys found me a library in some place called Ponyville. Well we'll be back soon."

"Uh we should probably tone down your levels of overkill."

"Why? It's not like I'm gonna just shoot everything that moves."

"Yeah! That's my job!" butted in the Courier

"Right so anyway we made you some low powered gear to use."

"Define low powered."

"Infinite ammo mini gun that never breaks for the courier, of course it only fires 5mm rounds and a sniper rifle, now that I think about it, how are you going to use them?"

"Dunno. Maybe one of the natives will have something I can use."

"Good luck with that. And as for you Lieutenant, I have a low powered Railpistol and a Mag Rifle, Both with copper carbide round blocks for higher velocity and penetration. I'm sure you can eventually figure out how to levitate them, but until then they have been customized for use in your mouth."

"Okay, so what about armor?"

"Combat Armor for the Courier and a Light Officers Raiment for you Lieutenant."

"So we're reasonably well armed and defended."

"Yes but from ballistic projectiles only, energy based ones will rip you apart."

"Ok well we'd better head out after we get this gear on."

-----(Twelve minutes later on the road to Ponyville)-----

"So basically you decided to let your brain stay in its jar in Mobius' lab so they could work together to make advanced technologies?"

"Pretty much."

"HOW are you still alive?"

"Something about magnets and Testla Coils."

"Does all wasteland technology revolve around magnets?"

"Well at least we don't use them in our guns."

"We also use them in our other technologies but that's not important, what is important is how you are being kept alive by magnets and Testla coils."

"I don't know, anyway I can see the town on the horizon."

"Good, now we just need to find that library and-" *Crack* "Avoid that sniper."

"Good idea, Lieutenant."

At the sound of a second gunshot they dived behind a pile of rocks, when suddenly they heard an explosion.

"Should we rush them and try and take out the threat so we can search that library safely?"

"Most definitely."

After a few minutes of skulking through the alleyways of Ponyville they saw their target. "A fucking tree. Of course it's a tree, everything's fucking treey around here."

"Having a slight mental breakdown are we?"

"Just a tiny one, not as major as some people would behave, but still quite bad for someone who's been through all the shit I have."

"Such as?"

"Having my brain sucked out by a parasite that feasts off the memories of living creatures."

"Wow. Tough break."

"Yeah, now my brain is just an incredibly advanced computer so I don't die from lack of brain function."

"So you basically have a Pip-Boy in your head?"

"More like a ZAX."

"Yeah those thinks are awesome. What do you know about them?"

"Everything listed in the stolen Vault-tec files from before the war."

"Nice, but we should probably try and clear out that tree so we can search in peace."

"Sure."

After scoping out the interior of the building through the windows the group decided to just fuck it and breach the door. once they'd gotten into position they and as they were about to kick in the door and shoot everything that moves, they heard someone scream as though they had been shot.

"We should probably help that person screaming for help." reasoned the courier.

"Yeah, I'd really hate to see what happens when you get negative karma here."

Once they readied themselves they headed off towards the location they heard the cry for help from and found a mare lying in the ground surrounded by other ponies who were slobbering menacingly.

"OI, FUCK NUGGETS! LEAVE HER ALONE!"

Once they heard the Lieutenant shout the possible raider ponies turned to see the Lieutenant and the Courier standing on the road behind them holding their weapons in their mouths.

"You lot go after them, that way we can have more m-" the raider was eternally silenced by a magnetically accelerated round to the spine.

"So you fuckers gonna charge us one by one leading to your inevitable deaths or what?" all the raider ponies looked at each other before simultaneously charging the pair. "Oh I love it when they try to rush me." the Courier said over the roar of charging maniacs.

As the raiders were charging Lieutenant Chaser opened fire on them with pinpoint precision, easily ripping holes in them as the rounds impacted their poorly armored bodies.

"You know I actually thought that they would be more of a challenge."

"Yeah, I guess we should probably give that pony some medical attention before she bleeds out."

"Good idea."

When they arrived at the mares side they noticed she was just in shock from being shot and was wearing some form of ponified vault jumpsuit, as well as a Pip-Boy 3000 strapped around one of her forelegs.

"It'll be ok, we're just gonna give you some stimpacks and then go clear out the library so we can search it. After we've cleared it we'll come back for you. Okay?" the mare nodded her agreement. "Good, now you may feel a slight stinging sensation for a few seconds." the courier said as he injected the mare with a Stimpack.

"W-who are you ponies?"

"Well for starters we're not really ponies and secondly I'm Lieutenant Donavier Chaser, Don't laugh Courier of I'll remove your testicles through your asshole, and this here is the Courier. I don't actually know his full name as we only met like seen hours ago."

"The name's Johnathon Barkley a.k.a The Courier, The Guy You Don't Fuck With, and The Scavenger."

"That's a lot of tittles ego maniac."

"Hey it's not my fault I'm adored by thousands for bringing almost peace to New Vegas."

"Uh can I speak now?"

"Sure."

"Where are you from? I've only been outside my stable for about a day, and yesterday I was confronted by some aliens."

"Oh, I knew you looked familiar, you're that pony who was looking at the Courier yesterday."

"Wait you're the aliens!"

"Yeah but we encountered some strange blue flower in that forest over there and we suddenly turned into ponies." Chaser said whilst pointing at the Everfree Forest.

"Are you going to abduct me and experiment on me?"

"Not really, we're sorta here by accident. We were supposed to be traveling to another continent to explore it when something happened to our teleporter and we ended up here."

"Also, as the idiot of a courier forgot to mention we may have crossed between dimensions a bit."

"So I'm talking to inter-dimensional aliens?"

"Pretty much... just waiting for you to faint from the shock of the situation, and there we go." the courier said just before the mare in front of them fainted. "We should probably clear that library tree thingie now."

"One of us has to stay here to make sure she doesn't get raped."

"Okay good idea, since you proposed it you get to stay here whilst I clear the libraratree."

"Libraratree?"

"It's what I'm calling that tree structure now."

"Sounds rather fitting. I'll just wait here till you get back."

-----(Outside the library again)-----

The Lieutenant kicked in the door with a swift double kick from his hind legs that sent the door flying into the center of the room, startling the raiders present. "I'm here to read, motherfuckers." called out the Lieutenant in an excellently delivered (in his opinion anyway) a one liner and then opened fire on all the raiders he could see, using only two shoots to fell each one until he came across one covered in roughly thrown together sheets of rusty plate metal.

"Oh this is gonna be fun." the Lieutenant taunted as the two circled each other in the center of the room. "Most to move loses." called out the Lieutenant which caused the raider to charge. Easily dodging the haphazard attack, the Lieutenant pivoted on his rear legs and put two rounds in the exposed back of the raiders head.

"Still too easy. Oh hello caged ponies, would you like some assistance?" all the ponies locked in cages nodded vigorously. "Okay, since I suck as picking locks I'm just gonna shoot them off, so cover your ears." the Lieutenant warned as he took aim at the cages locks and shot each of the locks once, breaking them easily.

"Okay I suggest you remain in here until the town has been swept."

"T-thank you mister."

"Oh it was nothing. I didn't go through seven years of basic training for nothing."

"Basic training?"

"Yeah I ad to spend seven years honing my skills before I could join the Union Air force."

"What's the Union Air force?"

"The main military power from where I come from/"

"And where's that?"

"Another dimension. Don't look so shocked, I did just take out like ten raiders with technology that has never been seen before."

"I think I'll just stay here a bit and try not to look at the dessicated corpses piled in this room."

"Okay I'm just gonna clear the upper floors. Also tell that ghoul to get up, it's free." and with that he took off up the stairs to find a raider raping a little filly. "Shouldn't have done that, friend." he said whilst silently walking up behind the raider before caving in his skull with a swift kick from his forelegs. "Are you alright little girl?"

"Y-ye-yes." she replied with tears in her eyes.

"Don't worry the monsters who did this will all be dead soon." he said whilst trying (and failing) to comfort the traumatized filly. "Head down stairs where you'll be safe."

And with that he lead the filly out the door, whilst she headed downstairs, he headed upstairs to deal with the final raider. Upon seeing that the raider was too focused on trying to find the Courier and the mare they rescued. Seeing his chance the Lieutenant snuck up behind the sniper before tapping him lightly on the back. The raider turned around angrily until he was the grinning alicorn standing behind him poised to strike.

"Any last words, raider scum?"

"I regret nothing!" and with that final exclamation the Lieutenant smashed the raider in the face, killing him instantly. "And now the town is cleared of raiders, time to go get Johnathon and that mare and start searching the library."

After descending the stairs to the main room of the library the Lieutenant decided to address the freed prisoners. "Alright the lot of you are free to go, just don't get into trouble again."

Continuing out of the library, the lieutenant looks around to see if there are any traps and is surprised to see a strangely designed eyebot floating around. "Either I'm high or there's ancient pre-war tech with wings floating past me." suddenly the eyebot stopped and looked at the Lieutenant. "Can I help you?"

There was a slight popping sound and a metallically toned voice came over the eyebot. "Who are you?" the eyebot asked.

"I am Lieutenant Donavier Chaser, of the seventy fifth Air division of the Union. And you are?"

"Confused. I've never heard of this 'Union' unless you're referring to Unity, in which case I'm expecting the goddess to try and assume direct control of you and destroy this spritebot."

"Goddess? Never heard of her, is she some sort of incredibly powerful magic user or something?"

"Yes. She's also in direct control of an army of alicorns."

"And what's do great about that?"

"She kidnaps ponies to turn into more alicorns."

"Well that sounds cruel. But anyway I have to meet up with the Courier so we can search the library for any books relating to magic."

"Why?"

"So I can learn magic and turns us back into what we were before we got attacked by that weird blue flower."

"You survived being touched by killing joke? Wow you must be incredibly lucky."

"Or from another dimension, but anyway I'll see you whenever you decide to pop in again." and with that the Lieutenant set off to get the Courier and the mare who's name he didn't bother to learn.

-----(Where ever the Couriers at)-----

"So you've had your brain, heart and spine removed by scientists who turned themselves into floating brains in jars and actually talked to it?"

"Yeah, that's why I'm not having a mental breakdown about talking pastel coloured ponies."

"I somehow think your world's more screwed over than mine."

"No, you had one war and screwed it up more spectacularly than most humans would, and over coal no less."

"Wait. Humans don't use coal for their machines?"

"No we use fossil fuel, well we used to before it ran out."

"Huh, well at least we have magic."

"Yeah. all we have is advanced super science capable of destroying whole planets."

"That sounds like it would be as powerful as magic."

"Yeah, oh look Chaser is back. Hey Chaser we're over here!"

"I see you two, I found some captives on the raider fulled tree over there."

"Well at least we can search for books on magic for you, wanna tag along... uh... I never asked your name."

"I'm Littlepip, and I guess I'll join you. It's not like me joining up with you will misalign events that would have lead to the wastes being purged of radiation."

"Nah, our mere presence here has already done that."

"What?"

"Hmm? I didn't say anything."

"Whatever, got anything for me to wear to protect me better than this stable barding?"

"Not really, but you can wear this amulet I found, it does nothing."

As he was giving the amulet to Littlepip Chaser noticed a faint golden aura surrounding the amulet, but write it off as a trick of the light. "Okay good to go?"

"Yeah those 'Stimpacks' are really quite something, even more potent than a healing potion."

"Hehe, I don't know what those are."

"Our equivalent of your Stimpacks, but I suggest we get going before it gets dark. I mean darker."

"We'll camp out in the library tonight and head towards the nearest town tomorrow."

"Ok." they then set off towards the library. Ten minutes later when they arrived Littlepip noticed a strange smell. "Wat's that smell?"

"I don't smell anything out of the ordinary."

"I can't smell. Period, stupid science experiment."

"It smells rank, like something died."

"Oh then it must be the raiders I killed."

"You want us to sleep in the same room as some ponies you killed?"

"We I was planning on chucking their corpses out the door first."

"And none of you see anything morally wrong with that?"

"I lived in the wastes since childhood, I'm accustomed to death."

"And I was born in an underwater city suffering from a massive infestation of insane genetically alters humans who had lighting and other offensive alterations made to their bodies so they could be more lethal."

"Sounds like you had a rough childhood."

"Yeah but at least I can shot lightning and fire from my hands, and send a swarm of locusts at my enemies."

"So why do you use handguns?"

"Because I can only use them when I'm drunk."

"Ah, that sucks."

"Yeah but I'm saving up for the constant use mutagen so I can use them even when I'm not intoxicated."

"Can we get back to discussing what you guys are going to do with these bodies? Please?"

"Fine. grab that one's feet and drag it outside we'll get the rest."

"Blergh. I really don't want to use my mouth to drag a corpse outside."

"Well then it stays. You either move it yourself or it stays where it is."

"By Celestia's benevolent cunt, you guys are assholes."

"No. we're just really lazy"

"Like I said, assholes."

"Just move the body so we can go to sleep sooner. I've already moved mine, also aren't you a unicorn?"

"Yeah, so?"

"Wait for it."

"OH! Of course I could just levitate the body outside. I'm such an idiot."

"Yes but you're our idiot."

"I don't have to follow you guys."

"Yes, but with us you'll be very well protected. Now if you don't mind, I'd like to mine the doorway."

"Why?"

"So no one sneaks up on us in our sleep."

"Okay, but all land mines have a disarm button on top of them."

"Yeah, but not Union land mines."

"Why not?"

"Because they only go off when a non-Union being comes within proximity."

"So what about me?"

"You are now an honourary citizen in the Union."

"What do I get out off it?"

"Access to our stat of the art medical facilities and residence in one of the cities."

"Cities?"

"Massive population centers where most of our populace resides."

"How many are there?"

"Twenty seven. Each one averaging around one hundred million civilians."

"I took note you said 'civilians' instead of humans. What exactly do you have living in your country?"

"Every sentient life form we've discovered that doesn't think we are inferior to them in every way."

"And you've encountered one of those?"

"Yes, they call themselves The Alliance. Not very big on allies though."

"They a threat?"

"A big one, but let's search the library." he took look around. "Or we could go to bed and pretend we didn't waste our time."

"Good idea. I've also mined the doorway."

"Right lets get some sleep, who knows what's in store for us tomorrow."

-----(In the void between universes)-----

"Right lets get some sleep, who knows what's in store for us tomorrow."

The all powerful being watching them laughed. "Oh but I do. MWAHAHAHAHA!!"

"LARRY! GO TO BED! NOW!"

"But Mom, I'm watching some idiots adventure in another dimension!"

"I don't want to hear any buts, mister. Now you're going to bed now so you can get up in time to go to your fathers coronation tomorrow."

"Bu-"

"I said no but! Now get to bed!"

"Yes mom." the all powerful being said in defeat as he turned off his Trans-Dimensional Viewer and went to bed.
