The Sole Survivor Needs Friendship.

by CommonDash


Atom bomb baby.

Steel Gem found a castle before her marker disappeared.
The newest objective in her quest chain was to wait till something happened involving some sort of elements of harmony and somepony.

“Some pony?” Steel asks aloud while continuing to explore the castle.

“What does some pony mean? Is it like someone?” Steel asks herself finding a good perch that will give her a perfect view into a room which according to her Pip-Boy will have the final battle in it.

“Let’s see how that shadow horse likes the power of the sun.” Steel mutters pulling out a Fat man launcher.

======================
There was a blinding flash of light as the shadowy mare and Lavender both appeared.

Steel watches as the lavender pony gives challenge to the much bigger one. Her horn glowing bright white.


“Your kidding right? Your kidding right?”

The two charge at each other at what is rather impressive speed before the Twilight disappears and reappears behind the shadowy mare at the MacGuffin.

That was when Steel’s Pip-Boy breaks the silence.

“Atom bomb baby loaded with power
Radioactive as a TV tower
A nuclear fission in her soul
Loves with electronic control”

The radio cuts off again.

“What!” Nightmare moon shouts before the whistling of a mini nuke is all Steel can hear.

“Taste the power of the sun!” Steel shouts equipping some welding goggles. As a blinding light forms at the side of Nightmare moon knocking her into the wall.

Besides being knocked to the side. The mare in question tanked the shot rather well.

“Durability of a behemoth? I mean that maybe did half her health.” Steel asks sitting down while storing away the catapult. Her chameleon legendary takes effect as she goes invisible right as the pair of angry eyes sweep over her location.

Lavender suddenly had her magic back fire and got knocked backwards. By the elements, in truth Steel only slightly remembered the story line. As a synth she could explore her own memories fairly easily, so that was something to do later.

Nightmare moon who was scanning for Steel had to give up and return to taunting Twilight.

She destroyed the petrified elements of harmony while laughing maniacally.

“You foal! Did you really think you could defeat me! The night will last forever!” Nightmare moon shouts wincing in pain from the nuke.

“You think you can destroy the elements of harmony just like that! Well your wrong because the spirits of the elements of harmony are right here!” Lavender/ Twilight shouts

‘Oh my god is she monologuing.’ Steel thinks

“What?” Nightmare moon asks letting her continue.

“Applejack who reassured me while I was in doubt represents the spirit of honesty! Fluttershy who tamed the manticore with her compassion represents Kindness! Pinkie pie who banished fear by giggling in the face of danger represents laughter! Rarity who calmed a sorrowful serpent with her gift represents the spirit of generosity! Rainbowdash who could not abandon her friends for her own hearts desire represents Loyalty!” Twilight shouts

‘She’s literally monologuing and charging an ultimate attack. And that bad guy is just letting it happen? The comics weren’t this bad were they?’ Steel thinks in wonder.

“The spirits of these 5 ponies got us through every challenge you threw at us!” Twilight announces

“You still don’t have the sixth elements the spark didn’t work!” Nightmare shouts

“But it did. A different kind of spark.” Twilight says turning around

“I felt it the very moment I realized how happy I was to hear you all.” Twilight says

Steel pulls out a syringer rifle and looks through her darts really quickly.

“To see you! How much I cared about you. The spark ignited inside me. When I realized that you all are my friends!” Twilight announces

‘She’s actually going for friendship triumphs over all.’ Steel thinks trying harder to remember the story line but for some reason can only Think of Q from space treck 2000.

Suddenly a bright light appears above lavender and Steel is happy to be wearing the welding goggles.

“You see nightmare moon when those elements are ignited by the… the spark that is inside us all. It creates the sixth element. The element of magic!” Lavender announces as all of the ponies start to float in the air.

Nightmare moon is suddenly blasted with a massive rainbow.

“She actually was bucking improvising at the end. This is exactly like a prewar cartoon comic.” Steel mutters

“Gee twilight, I thought you were just spouting a lot of who-we. But now I reckon we really do represents the elements of friendship.” Applejack says

Steels invisibility glimmers as the sun rises behind her.

“Indeed you do.” A voice says

Suddenly another bright light appears and Steel is happy she has yet to remove the welding goggles.

A white horse appears and all of the other smaller horses bow to her.

“Princess Celestia!” Lavender shouts

‘Ah that’s why they are bowing. Wasn’t her name Sunbutt or something though?’ Steel thinks

“Twilight Sparkle! My faithful student.” Celestia says

‘So that was lavenders name. Though I’m a keep Callin her lavender.’ Steel thinks

The two nuzzle when suddenly there is a loud cough.

Celestia stops her lesson looking over to see her sister on the ground coughing up blood with early onset radiation sickness.

“Lulu?” Celestia asks worried

“S-sister I’m sorry, help.” Luna says quietly.

Steel makes the call shooting Lulu with radaway and a stimpack healing her.

The small Princess suddenly gasps for breath as she begins to heal visibly.
“I feel better thank you.” Best pony Says

Celestia stands up and looks in the direction that the darts had come from.

“Reveal yourself!” Celestia shouts looking directly at Steel.

Steel feeling funny points at herself while still in stealth.

“Yes you.” Celestia says

Steel exits stealth while pushing up her welding goggles.

“How did you see me?” Steel asks

“… who are you?”

“I’m not on the list and I’m not a storm cloak so you don’t need to worry.” Steel says jumping out of the window behind her.

“Maybe she was just trying to cross the border and got caught in an ambush?” Pinkie asks

“Anyways, I knew you could do it all along my faithful student.” Celestia says

“I thought you said the mare in the moon was an old ponies tale.” Twilight says

“I said you should make some friends… even if some of them are weird.” Celestia says glancing at Pinkie.

“I think this calls for a party every pony!” Pinkie shouts
