//------------------------------// // chapter 2 // Story: Fallout Equestria: project human // by Gaz1997 //------------------------------// I just lay there, tears in my eyes, the images and memories of my friends flowing through my mind. “Twilight ,applejack, fluttershy, pinkie ,rarity, scootaloo, applebloom, sweetie belle…….rainbow dash, everyone……gone………. there all gone……why……why did this have to happen…….…just why………200 years 200 hundred fucking years………..but I know RD is alive…I just know it………. no pony can kill her that easy”. Then I felt a hoof touch my shoulder, I immediately stopped crying and manned up to look to see who’s hoof it was, I turned my head to see the over mare who had her hoof on my shoulder and this time I took a proper look at her, she had a dark golden coat and black mane I couldn’t see here cutie mark from my angle and she had green eyes, those eyes reminded me of applejacks eyes, I pushed that thought out of my head and stood up but still felling slightly groggy. “Are you ok?” she asked Yeah I’m ok its….just a bit of shock to me I mean…… 200 years……Jesus….well ……who do I have to thank for waking me up from that bitch of a slumber” I asked stretching out my arms and legs after 200 years of lying down frozen. “That would be them” she pointed a hoof towards “they found you down here by blind luck, only I knew that you were down here but I didn’t know what you where until I saw you” she said “Thanks I said to her before walking over to the trio still huddled in the corner, I knelt down and pulled them into a hug. “Thanks you three, I you hadn’t found me I would have been down here for god knows how long maybe even forever, what are your names” “My names batter up” “Names circuitry” “I’m little twist” she said shyly “Well thank you guys again I’m really grateful I owe you one” I broke the embrace and walked over the wall besides my cryo tube and banged on the wall, a panel opened revealing a hidden terminal and I started typing on it but try after try it wouldn’t unlock “God fucking damn it open you stupid bitch” I then remembered my pip buck and face palmed I moved my arm up to the terminal but took a look at my pip buck first, Let’s just say I have a habit for customizing things on the left hand side I had taped a picture of my wife and kids next to the screen that had the word ‘come back home soon’, my mind went back to when she gave me the picture and when she whispered in my ear ‘for luck’. I sighed then broke out of my sudden trance and held it in front the terminal for a few seconds “Erm what are you doing” asked the over mare looking at the advanced piece of tech on my arm “Just watch and you’ll see” I replied and after a couple of seconds the terminal unlocked and a message appeared with a computerized voice saying. *cryo chamber systems offline, running diagnostics, cryo tube still functioning on emergency power, activating override sequence, synching to specialist matrix, pip buck prototype mark III………….. Sync complete, welcome specialist matrix, activating primary cryo chamber systems* After the message had finished the light came on and some machinery began to hum in the background and to me left a door opened revealing a smallish room on the other side of the room. “Whoa how did you do that” asked one of the guard’s “With this” I said holding up my left arm with my pip buck “the pip buck prototype mark III, I was given it by twilight sparkle herself back in the war to help me when I was sent on important missions, it’s a bit more advanced than your normal pip buck”. “What do you mean more advanced” spoke the over mare “Sorry but that’s classified info” I said before walking through the newly opened door into the room and shutting it behind me. “Where does he think he’s going” said a guard “I don’t know” said the over mare “you go have a look and see want he’s doing and see if he’s coming out” “Yes ma’am” then walked up to the door and knocked “Um sir what are you doing, are you coming out of there?” he asked Then the door opened slightly and I put my hand through the door and flipped them the middle finger then closed the door again. He must of understood what it meant as he walked back up the over mare and said “Erm that’s a negative ma’am” but a few seconds later I came out fully dressed. I was wearing my customized elite riot/combat armour with my helmet in my hand http://images.wikia.com/fallout/images/d/dc/Elite_riot_gear.png On the back of the duster was an emblem I had personally asked rarity to do for me, in the middle was celestia’s and Luna’s cutie marks and around them in a circle was the mane six’s cutie mark’s, it’s an old world symbol now but it’s a symbol of happiness to me, it brings back memories, good memories. On the top of my helmet was a painted rainbow streak running down the back of it like Mohican in a way, With RD’s cutie mark emblazed on the side. The ponies just looked at me with their mouths hung open in awe I think was there expressions “Man does it feel good to be wearing clothing again” I said out loud “Wow you like a total badass dude” said another guard “I’ll take that as a compliment” I replied as I moved over to the to the pod next mine and held my pip buck next to its terminal and let it work its magic the good thing about my pip buck is that it is capable of doing a lot more than a normal one like hacking terminals but It can’t hack all of them. After 30 seconds of waiting for my pip buck to override the lock on the pod, it finally bypassed it and opened up, a smile appeared on my face as I looked at the two sleeping foals, my children, even to this day I still wonder how me and dash where even able to have foals because were not even the same race but that’s genetics for you cause I don’t know shit about it. The thawing process was now well underway and the kids were beginning to wake but were still asleep, they’re both heavy sleepers, something they picked up from their mother. We named them lighting wings and blue angel, dash wanted a name that had lightning in it so lightning wings it was to be for our son and I came up with blue angel for our daughter, yeah so I took the name of one the famous aerobatic teams on earth but it fitted her perfectly. I was lost in deep thought that I was snapped out of it when I heard a yawn from lightning, his eyes started to flutter open but he tried to go back to sleep. “Come on sleepy heads, time to wake up” I said quietly to them “Five more minutes dad, I don’t wanna go to school” mumbled angel “You two are just so adorable that’s why I love and your my kids so why wouldn’t I” I let out a little chuckle and said “well then I guess I won’t make you your favourite breakfast then. Their eyes both shot open as I said that and they leapt out of the pod and into my arms, tackling me to the ground dropping my helmet in the process. “DADDY” they both shouted as they hugged me with all there might “Hey kids did you have a nice sleep, any nice dreams” I said whilst ruffling there manes “Yeah daddy I had the best dream ever” exclaimed angel “Hehe that’s good to know kiddo why don’t you tell me about later daddy’s feeling a little dizzy right now ok”. “Ok daddy she said as they both continued to hug me on the ground, I then rolled my head backwards to face the over mare “Excuse me miss, could you do me a favour and open my friends pod over there for me, and the password is twilight to unlock it” I asked “Of course and you can call me ‘lockdown’ miss ‘lockdown’. She said “Thanks” I replied and continued to embrace the two foals on my chest. Lockdown went over to the guards and told them to guard the door to the chamber in case any pony came down here then went up to the pod and started typing on its terminal, After a couple of minutes I heard the recognisable hiss of the pod unlock and open. I looked over to my left and I saw lock down standing in front of my friends pod then I heard a groan coming from inside. “Uurrrgghh my head” said the voice from inside the pod as the figure leaned forward and opened his eyes then his gaze fell upon the over mare. “Well heeeeelllooo beautiful” he said as he lifted himself out from the pod. Lockdown blushed and backed away from him slightly “Smooth dude, like sandpaper, do you honestly have to try and hit on all the mares” I said as I turned my head to him and sat up with the two foals on my lap. “Matrix my man, how goes it, sleep well” he said “You could say that silver, I was about to ask you the same thing” I replied “UNCLE SILVER” blue and lightning shouted before leaping of my lap and onto silver “Hey kids, you two ok” silver said “Were ok uncle, we had some awesome dreams, do want to hear them” said lightning “Maybe later, first I need to talk to daddy” he said to them “You do” I asked “well then” I looked towards the trio who were still sitting in the corner talking amongst themselves “Hey erm little twist was it, could you keep an eye on my foals for a second while a talk to my friend here” I asked She took a moment to think then answered with “yes” so I motioned for the two foals to go over to her and of they trotted. I put on a smile as they walked off to the corner then I turned my attention back to silver who had a serious look on his face. “How long” he asked “Promise you won’t freak out like I did” “What do you mean” he asked so I simply pointed towards the terminal I had punched “Ah, well then back to what I said, how long”. “You sure you want to know” “Yes I do, now tell me” “Two hundred years” I simply stated The words hit him like a bomb. Already I see a tear start to form and then roll down his face and he held his head low, I moved forward to him and put and arm around his neck and put my forehead on his carefully to avoid hitting his horn. Tears were starting to form from my eyes as well. “200 hundred years” he said through tears “200 bucking years” “I know dude, I know” I said in a calming voice “But there gone dude, all gone” he said whilst pulling me into a man hug “Hey don’t say that, I know it may sound like that but I have a feeling, I have a feeling that RD made it, know pony can kill her that easy” “And what about my twilight” “I don’t know dude, but remember she is the most powerful unicorn in Equestria, she’s smart so she would have had a good chance but I can’t promise everything, and if it helps I’m going to go find out what happened to them, if there dead or alive” I said then broke the embrace “Well im coming with you” “He he I wasn’t even going to object to it” I said then we bro-hoofed “Come on, let’s go get suited up and get out of this hole” “Im with you on that” he said then we both got up he made his way into the other room while I picked up my helmet and followed him into the room and shut the door. He went up to his locker’s and pulled out his combat armour and helmet then put it on along with side attachments for his weapons , I went up to my side of the room where three lockers were, One for my clothing, one for my weapons and another for personal belongings. I went up to my weapon locker and put in the code and opened it. I reached inside and pulled out one of my favourite weapons. Bozar. http://t0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQgs4H7lCfC15XwJlEbcPwJVzODDNfWWz5A8BBtYszi_8kPSI79 Fully automatic, 30 5.56mm round magazine, scope, it had a barrel that reminded me of a barret 50 cal. It put it on my back and opened up the ammo box next it. My HUD told me it had at least 1500 rounds “plenty” in thought to myself. I then pulled out my next weapon and it was a big one, an anti-material rifle to be exact, now this gun defiantly reminded me of a barret all though it was single shot but it had all the recoil I put this on my back also with my other gun and opened it ammo box. “250 rounds, reasonable and what’s this….oh hello” again thinking to myself as I put the normal ammo in my inventory and looked back into the box my HUD labelled it ‘explosive round’s 200’. “That will come in handy indeed” I mumbled quietly to myself whilst scooping up the clips and putting them in my inventory also, then I moved to my next weapons, to pistols, both berretta 9mm’s, I grabbed them by the handles and spun them round before putting them in my side holsters in concealed by my duster along with the ammo ‘200 rounds’ Finally I picked up my last weapons, my knife’s, I first picked up my two special knifes. (Sort of like this) http://t2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQ4l6m5-JWDhbdgKRbCzCMT7FtjUMac_xaFnstgy3gTCsoi6UFK They were shaped like dashie’s cutie mark but without the cloud and they were painted in the same colours as well and on the side of them I had embedded the name of my foals. the special thing about these knifes is when I gripped the handle hard enough, when I stabbed some pony mainly a zebra, it let a small electric shock, perfectly killing whoever was on the receiving end of them, yet another great piece of hardware from applejack’s ministry. I put them into my shoulder sheaths and picked up my last knife. My old combat knife http://images.wikia.com/fallout/images/f/fb/Combat_knife.png I had brought this with me from earth when I crashed here, it was an old thing yes but this thing has saved my life more times than I care to mention back in the war. It had a toothed edge with a curved tip, on its side I had dash’s name scratched into it this knife brought back memories, good and bad, but I had saved many lives with this knife in and out of the war as well as my own. I put it in its sheath on my chest went over to my personal locker, opened it and gazed inside. I pulled out a small wallet which held some money not that I needed it during warfare but what else it contained meant more to me, pictures of my family, friends and fellow soldiers of the field, all memories of better times and places, places that are now presumably gone. I pocketed the wallet and pulled out a device that most of you now, my iPod and earphones, yet another item I had brought with me from earth all those years ago. I put it in one of my pockets and pulled out the last thing I kept. My collapsible guitar, I never went anywhere without it on the battlefield, back home not anywhere because I loved my music and other ponies did to, I put it in my inventory and shut the locker door. I turned my attention to my comrade and he had finished getting ready himself. On his sides he had two standard issue assault rifles with suppressors. “Typical, he always has his silencers, always has, always will” he also had a 10mm standard pistol holstered across his chest along with his own knife that had twilight etched into it and he had his combat saddlebags on his flanks. He wore his trademark helmet that had ‘If you see stripes, shoot’ in white paint across the front with his captain insignia. He saw me looking at him and he gave me a nod which I returned, I put on my helmet and then we both walked out of the room both felling like total bad asses. Lockdown turned to look at us but when she did her face became a mix of shock, fear and curiosity, well you got to admit we did look a bit intimidating especially me when I had my helmet on. She than asked us when she had gained the use of her voice again “Erm are you planning on going somewhere because you defiantly look like it” "Yes, yes we are, were leaving” “Why” she asked I looked at silver that looked at me then I turned back to lockdown “Because we have to find some pony’s I even if we have to go through hell and back to find them” I had no idea what the world looked like after two century’s but I prayed to celestia that it looked ok. “Well ok but I must warn you that if you leave now you won’t be able to come back in” “Not a problem in my books now if you would be so kind to lead the way out” “Erm…ok then follow me” “Alright” I said “lightning, blue, come on were leaving”. hey guys hoped you liked the new chapter i bet your wondering how matrix and silver will react when he gets out the stable, will he completely lose it or deal, with it who knows well except for me anyway's hope you liked it character's: matrix (me) silver: Silverstein222
