//------------------------------// // 4. Fallen Love // Story: Fallout Equestria: Dream of Darkness // by Xx soul sorrow xX //------------------------------// Rainbow chewed on a bone of some pony guy. She gnawed on it with her teeth and gums where she lost some. Her hair was all ratty and she drooled a lot. There was foamy spit coming from her mouth since she still had rabies. She had eaten a few bystanders since she had gone insane and she was crazy and she was a cannibal now. One time she even tried to gnaw off her leg but she didn't because she got distracted by a pigeon and forgot all about it. One of her wings got broken when she first escaped, and it healed on its own but it was bent weird now. She didn't know that she even had wings so she didn't fly ever. Rarity and Derpy hid behind a fat lamp post and watched as Rainbow ate her fellow citizens in what used to be Ponyville. Now it was so bad and full of famine it was called Bonyville. It was really bad. Anyway, Rarity jumped out of the bushes and she held down Rainbow against her will. Rainbow kicked and tried biting Rarity, but Rarity had skills and got away in time. Derpy quickly pulled out the pills from the sack on her back and she shoved them down Rainbow's throat. Derpy held down Rainbow's legs while Rarity used her hooves to push Rainbow's head to the ground. Soon, her body drained of her rainbow power and strength. She began to pant from flailing around until she was almost unconscience but she wasn't. She was just tired. "You guys. Is that you?" Rainbow asked. "You okay, Rainbow Dash?" Derpy asked. Rarity starting laughing manically. Everypony looked at her and she stopped. "Sorry, I was laughing because Rainbow's face is all covered in dirt." "Your face is covered in dirt too." Derpy replied. Rarity stopped laughing and the two pegasi stared at her. "Anyway, thanks for doing that. I must have done some damage." Dash sighed. "Yeah, I just don't know what went wrong..." Derpy sighed along with her. Rainbow looked around and saw the corpse of the pony that she had been in the middle of eating. "Wh-ha.." "Oh yeah. You were eating that pony when you were crazy." Derpy said. Rainbow started crying. "OMG, I can't believe I did that. Oh em gosh..." Rainbow Dash sobbed tears into Rarity's shoulders. "Ssssssshhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh... its OK, Rainbow Dash. We know you didn't mean it." "My insanity is a burden, Rarity..." "I know, Dash, but you gotta get it get it goin'. I did it I done it." "I know, Rarity..." They hugged for a while until the smell of the decaying corpse Dash was eating started to make them gag. So they sat next to a building and ate some grass they found 'cause they were horses. "Dash, I think telling us about the war will make you feel better." Derpy suggested. "Maybe, but It's so traumatizing. But I guess I can cope, y'know." she asked. "I know what you mean, girlfriend." Rarity agreed. "Well, it all started when I was born... My mom loved me as a girl and named me Rainbow Jennifer Dash. My dad wanted me to be a boy, so he stole me from my mom as a baby and he raised me up to be a tomboy. Yeah, but that wasn't all. You see, back then, I was born with yellow hair like Derpy, but he wanted me to grow up and be a clown, so he died my hair rainbow color and it stayed forever... So sad... But then, when I growed up, I got rid of my afro, so I have straight rainbow hair so it looked better. then my dad made me promise I'd go to war when the time came... So I had to make that promise and keep it. I ran away from home later and came to Ponyville and was the coolest one and I acted better then everypony... I even had a boyfriend. He was Thunder Lane. But my dad hunted me down and killed him on the day before our wedding. It was my fallen love...I regret all of my mistakes and regrets and I wanna take it all away forever..." "Oh Rainbow you'll be great someday." said Rarity comforting. "No" she sad back. She cried a little more. "I can't ever be a normal pony, but I can fix the mistakes in the past..." "What do you mean???" Rarity said. "I have information about the griffons and King Sombra. I found that the griffons are planning to attack Sombra's army. That technically includes us since he took us over. But we can form an alliance with the griffons and overthrow Sombra, but we can't do it on our own. We got a stick together as a teamwork. Teamwork makes the dream work. Whose with me?" Rainbow asked. "Rainbow... I don't know about this. What exactly are we doing and why?" Rarity hesitated. Derpy spoke up... "I think what Rainbow plans to do is make friends with the griffons, despite the war we had with them, then team up against Sombra for the good of the ponies." "Oh" Rarity said. "But the only problem with that is that it'll be really hard to get ahold of the griffons and form a army without Sombra finding out." Derpy explained. "Well, we should talk over this after we find shelter for the night. My house is two miles from here and it's almost five a clock. We might not make it before midnight......." Rarity sighed. "That's okay. We can just stay in the asylum for the night. My room is empty since I ate all the things there. That a'ight with you?" Rainbow asked. Rarity said "Yeah" and Derpy agreed so they went to the asylum and they went. The group walked to the asylum and Rarity was excited to see the handsome receptionist and be able to show him how good she was at catching insane people. Rainbow opened the asylum doors and everyone walked in there. Rarity ran over to the desk and started yelling, "Reginald! Look at what I--" She stood in shock. It seems that Rainbow Dash had eaten the resepcionist while they were looking for the medication bottle. Rarity was about to cry, when a bunch of police people came out and they grabbed Rainbow and tackled her and tried stabbing her, but Derpy stopped them. Though they took her away and Rarity and Derpy couldn't get passed the crowd of guards to save their friend. She cried out and said "stop" and Rarity but they couldn't do anything to stop it... Suddnenly, there was a flash of light, followed by an explosion and then another. The glass door shattered. Rarity and Derpy turned around and looked outside as buildings caught on fire and more bodies lay on the ground dead. Screaming and a death feeling filled up the air. "Rarity, Derpy! Help! Let go of me, you meatballs!!!!!!!!!!" she screamed as she was carried off down the hallway. Derpy immediately took cover under the desk and Rarity just stood by the glass door that had shattered and backed away towards the desk slowly dodjing the debris and pony limbs. She didn't know what to do now. Not this time.
