Chapter Ten
I am evil, bad, nightmare pony. Arrrr!

I felt a sharp pain in my side as I hit the ground hard. My revolver clattered to the ground somewhere.

“NO, DIAMOND!” Vanilla screamed at me. She had kicked me!”You can’t do that! You’re my-my best friend!”

I looked around at my friends, Vanilla was sobbing, and the rest of my friends had worried looks on their faces. Had I really just done that? Had I really just tried to kill myself in front of my friends?

“Why would you even think of doing that?” The cream mare asked, tears filling her eyes.

I frowned, then felt my sorrow turn to rage.

“Which way did they go.” I growled.

My friend pointed a hoof towards the downtown area. I levitated my revolver into my saddlebags, and stomped off where vanilla had pointed. I heard hoof steps behind me.

“Ya do know, Ah’m comin’ with ya.” Chip stated.

I turned. “No!”

“Diamon’, Ah ain’t gonna let ya get yerself killed!”

I drew my revolver and pointed it at him. His eyes widened.

“This is something I have to do myself!”

“Well if that’s the way it’s gonna be, then Ah guess Ah won’t stop ya. Ah’ll be prayin’ for ya, Diamon’”

I returned my revolver to my saddlebags, and galloped off.

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

I slowed as I saw the raider camp, it was mostly tents, but they had used a convince store as their headquarters. I pulled out my rifle, and checked the magazines. I looked down the scope, and fired, killing the two guards standing near the door to the headquarters, several raiders peeked their heads out from their tents, only to have them blow off.

I began to reload. While I was doing so, the raiders started shooting at me. Several rounds sunk deep into my skin, I didn’t notice. I fired my remaining rounds, killing eight more raiders. I tossed my rifle aside and drew my pistol, I fired all six rounds using S.A.T.S. Each shot was a kill. I then hurled it at an axe wielding raider and jerked the axe from his teeth. I then drove the blade into his skull.

I made it to the door, and bucked it in, It slammed into a unicorn raider, incapacitating her. The room was filled with gore and smelled of decaying flesh. I trotted over to another door on the far wall. I couldn’t buck it down, so I hacked it apart with the axe. The handle broke, but I had smashed it enough so that could smash the rest with my hooves. I felt splinters sink into my forelegs

In this room was a cage rusted. In the cage was my mother and a raider. My mom was gagged and tied, and the raider had a serrated knife in his teeth. He was using it to cut the inner part of her hind legs.

“YOU BASTARD!” I yelled.

He turned, then, with surprising speed, he lifted her up as a shield, a foreleg mounted gun at her head. He spit out the knife.

“Move, and she dies, bitch!”

My eyes widened. I had screwed up. If tried anything he’d kill my mother. If I didn’t do anything, more raiders would come pouring into the room. Either way, we’d both die. The pain from my wounds slammed into me, and I fell.

The raider laughed vilely. “You’re pathetic!”

Tears came to my eyes. Maybe I was pathetic. Maybe I should have ended it back in the stable. NO! I had to stop thinking like that! If had done that, all the ponies I had helped would have been put through hell.

I glared at the raider, murder in my eyes “NO!”

He raised an eyebrow.

“It’s ponies like you that are pathetic, killing innocent ponies that did nothing do you! You shouldn’t even exist! I AM GOING TO END YOU!!!”

With that, I used my magic to rip his gun leg from his body. I then slammed him into the cage’s door. The rusted bars snapped, and left several deep cuts in the raiders back. I smashed his body into a wall twice, the first time cracking the bricks, and the second, left a hole all the way through. Grey sunlight poured in.

I lifted him close to my face. His bloody face was painted with fear.

“Please, I-I don’t wanna die!” He pleaded, “I wanna live!”

I moved him closer “I. Don’t. Fucking. Care!”

I hurled him through the wall. After the dust settled, I saw the raider’s dead body impaled on several broken steel bars.

I walked shakily into the cage and untied my mother.

“Diamond!”

“Come on, mom, we need to get out of here.” I felt shaky, I had lost too much blood.

As the room started spinning, I saw two raiders step into the room, I fell. Blackness was creeping from the edges of my eyes. Was this what it was like to die?

“I’m sorry.” I barely said. The last thing I heard was a familiar roar, then nothing.

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

Black. That was the only thing I could see. It was all around me, nothing but an empty void. I wanted to scream, but no sound came out of my mouth. I reached down to turn on the lamp on my Pipbuck, but couldn’t move ether.

Suddenly a grey light shrouded in pink smoke, started moving towards me. Faster and faster ,until it was almost right on top of me. Then replacing the black, I saw a green field. A beautiful blue sky stretched out for miles. I looked around and saw my family, my father, my mother, my sister. Then all my friends walked up. All of these ponies smiling cheerfully at me.

A voice told me to turn around. I did. Behind me I saw dozens of raiders, all the ponies I had killed, covered in blood and rotting. They began waking towards me, their eyes glowing red.

There was a loud boom and a rainbow streaked across the sky. The zombies had disappeared, replaced with a regal looking pony, she was pink with hair that had streaks of cream, purple, and rose. She had both a horn, and wings.

I bowed.

“Princess.” I said.

She smiled.

“You are the one I chose to be the unsung hero of Equestria.” The princess spoke.

I got back to my hooves. “Why me?” I asked.

She looked down at me. “ Because you are a descendant of Starswirl the Bearded. It is your destiny to save Equestria from the coming doom.”

This was one crazy dream.
