//------------------------------// // chapter 1 // Story: Fallout Equestria: project human // by Gaz1997 //------------------------------// When to video stopped, the trio just looked at each other in bewilderment at what they just saw. Cables moved away from the monitor and over to the side of the frost covered tube and looked inside and he was surprised to see what was inside. He was looking at the exact same creature that he just saw on the video, the thing that called itself a human with the name ‘matrix’ he was desperately trying to remember where he had heard the word human before then his thoughts went back to story his farther used to talk about. Flashback “This is a story my grandmother once told me, this is the story of a creature. This creature was known a hero, a true legend back in the old world, the tale of this creature goes way back before the war that broke out 200 years ago”. “It was said that this creature was from a different world. His race was highly advanced maybe more advanced than us but no pony knows. So one day the creature was supposedly on the brink of death but the sun goddess saw him and took pity on him and brought him to our world. He landed in the world in some kind of big metal bird and claimed himself a human, a creature that walks on to legs and has claw like appendages”. “They accepted him in there world as one their own and he lived for a few years in peace from his home world. But then when the war came he was made into one of the greatest weapons they had at their disposal against the zebras and he did his job like now other he would sacrifice his for other if need be”. “But then when the bombs fell he helped the ponies into a stable, our stable to be precise, but no pony knows what happened to him”. “Did he die or live?” “Some say that there keeping him locked away in the very depths of the stable and we never knew but the over mare said that it wasn’t possible. Then over time ponies began to question his existence saying that it was only a myth but I know that my grandmother was right but I didn’t want to believe her”. Present: cables pov I couldn’t believe it I was looking at the creature the ‘human’ that was supposedly a legend but led on to being a myth and here it was right in front of me. A small smile crept to my face that I didn’t notice my brother and lil’ twist were looking at me with looks of confusion “Hey cables what’s with the face, you look like you know what that thing is” said my younger brother “I do, we all do, remember when our farther used to tell us that story of that legendary creature” I replied and I was answered with a nod from both of them “This is the same creature, the very same human, from all those years ago” I them moved back to monitor and looked at the message again “And look at the date of the message, it was made almost 200 years ago so that confirms it” I looked over towards my brother and twist. Their mouths were hanging open so low they could’ve touched the floor. I then turned my attention back to the monitor where a new message had appeared on the screen *unseal cryo tube yes/no* I was about to type onto the keyboard but then some pony shouted out. “HALT” I jumped in mid-air and landed on the monitor and by accident pressed the yes key. Third person view Cables fell of the monitor and onto the floor rubbing his head which would a bruise there later. The trio then looked over to where the voice had come from and they saw the over mare flanked by at least 20 security ponies. “Stop what you’re doing now” said the over mare but she was cut off by a loud hissing noise coming from directly behind the three young ponies who in turn moved away from the tube as it was the source of the noise. Steam was coming out the sides of the tube and the then there was a clanking sound like locks unlocking. then the front of the tube began to open upwards. When the door finally stopped moving and the mist cleared away the security ponies the over mare and the trio edged closer to see inside and the all froze when they saw it. A tall creature that looked like it walked on to legs was laying in the tube almost motionless it had these weird looking limbs on the bottom of its fore and rear legs. It had short brown mane and flat face, it skin was a very light shade of pink and it wore only a small piece of clothing over its midsection and there where cables connected to its chest. The over mare slowly edged over to the monitor at the end of the tube, She looked at the terminal’s screen and read in her mind “Cryo tube stasis, normal, project human ‘matrix’ is stable, lights show green across the board” As she was scrolling down the terminal one of the security guards walked up to here and asked “Ma’am what is this thing, is it dangerous” he said in a slight worried tone “I guess it’s time you all learned the truth, for the past 200 years our stable has been host to him” she gestured towards the human “He was the reason why you’re all here today, he saved the ponies that first came into the stable when the war ended. And now for the past 200 years me and the past over mare’s have been keeping hi m secret until these three found him” she looked over towards the trio. Then a low grumbling sound broke the sudden silence from behind her. The creature was beginning to waken. They all backed away from the cryo tube but the over mare moved a closer till she reached to end on the tube She could now clearly see that the human was now breathing but rather quickly and raggedly. She then spoke up hoping it would wake up “hello can you hear me” No response “I said can you hear me” she said in a slightly louder tone Then the humans eyes shot open a took in a huge gasp of air “Nooooooooooooooooo” It shouted” The sudden outburst shocked the mare as she stumbled onto her back, the guards quickly circled her, weapons at the ready in case the creature tried anything, but it just lay there staring at the ceiling, its eyes bloodshot Matrix pov I was dreaming that I was flying, flying through the clouds above the beautiful land I now called my home, I couldn’t remember how long it had been since I crashed into Equestria, years maybe but I was eternally grateful that I had, I could barely remember my old life on earth, but why would I, the planet I used to call my home was an absolute shithole. Equestria was my home now, I had made many friends: twilight, applejack, rarity, fluttershy, pinkie pie and rainbow dash and many more but rainbow was probably the most important to me, she is……… my wife after all. I looked to my left and I saw her flying alongside me, she looked like she always did. Amazing. And then I looked to my left and I saw the rest of my family, my adopted daughter scootaloo and my own kids. Two little Pegasus foals, lightning wings and blue angel, were all flying with me through the clouds, but then all of a sudden the sky turned black and I was then back on the battlefield between the ponies and zebras. I was in my combat armour and was holding my gun of choice. Bozar. I looked around and all I could see was death I couldn’t move my arms or legs or do anything but watch. I turned my head away from it all but when I looked back I now lying on a table. I knew where I was. I was in twilight’s ministry about to undergo an experiment I had agreed to be part of. Project human. The operation was to make me stronger, faster and more intelligent. Needles were inserted to my arms and legs but I could feel no pain. but when they injected me with whatever it was the pain was almost unbearable and when they started to use their magic for the next part I swore I felt like I had died and then I closed my eyes to open them again and again I was on the front lines again this time in my new armour that I had received after the operation. I was on a ridge watching as pony soldier’s charged over the ridge at the enemy, weapons drawn and firing. I had killed my fair amount of zebras on the battle field but one thought stuck in my head the whole time “I’ve killed the enemy but do not hate them” I turned around and I was back in pony Ville. Warning sirens where blaring loudly, ponies where running everywhere, in the distance I could see canterlot with a massive magical shield being pounded by rockets. Then suddenly on the inside, it erupted into a giant pink cloud and the shield slowly began to fall, the capital was gone, I closed my eyes again that were now filled with tears I opened them again to see my family running towards me. I tried to run to then but I still couldn’t move my legs. Then a giant explosion erupted from behind them and the shockwave was closing fast “Come on, faster, FASTER “I shouted but I was too late. They were caught in the blast and then they were nothing more. “No………no……….. NNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO” ----------------- “NOOOOOOOOOO” my eyes shot open as I had awoken from my nightmare the same reoccurring nightmare, all I could see was white nothingness. I then looked at my surroundings to see a mare on the floor in front of me with several armed ponies guarding her and behind them I saw a trio of foal’s slightly shivering in a corner. I brought my hands up to my face and rubbed my eyes. I then remembered that I was inside stable 97’s hidden cryo chamber that only me, silver and the over mare I placed my hands on either side of the cryo tube and pulled myself to feet nearly stumbling over. The ponies moved back a bit when they saw how tall I was, they were at least half my height. Then one of the security ponies spoke up breaking the silence “w-w-what are you” he said he sound scared even though he tried to put on a bold front but before I could answer him, one of the foals said “He’s the thing from the legend ya, know the legend about the human, he’s been down here all this time after the war” beamed the young colt “You can’t be serious, that is nothing more than an old pony’s tail” said the same guard “Well that is a complete load of utter bollocks” I said finally speaking up They quickly turned to face me as they just heard me speak “You can talk” said the over mare in shock “Well not shit Sherlock, of course I can and I am very real. Now I’m sure you all have plenty of questions to ask me but first I have one question for you…….how long have I been down here?” They didn’t answer just stood there in total silence so I asked again “Didn’t you hear me, I asked you how long have I been down here?” “Two hundred years” mumbled the over mare “What was that speak up for celestias sake” “Two hundred years” she said this time so I could hear “What?” I replied “I said you’ve been asleep for two hundred years” she answered I just stood there frozen trying to take the words she just said, my head was full of emotions, sadness, pain but most of all…..anger. She could see the anger in my eyes. But then I lost it, I turned around and with all my strength I punched my cryo tubes terminal sending sparks flying all over, all the ponies jumped back at my sudden outburst . “AAAAAaaaaaaaarrrrrgghhhhhh TWO HUNDRED YEARS, IVE BEEN FUCKING DOWN HERE FOR TWO HUNDRED FUCKING YEARS!!!!” by now tears were forming in my eyes, I fell to my knees and just wept on the floor, the images of my friends, family and fellow soldiers in my head. they were all gone….just …….gone. well here's another chapter i know there may be a few mistakes but i didn't get it pre-read but the next one will be and now i bet you have questions hmm i bet you do but they will be answered......soon
