Fallout Equestria: The Greatest Rescue

The Debrief

"Sounds like fun!" Vorse replies, having just been informed of Iris and his missions' danger.

"Where are we going and why is it dangerous?" Iris asks, giving the captain a stink-eye.

"You current orders are to report to Dragon Mountain A.S.A.P. It seems Elder Spike wishes to see you. Get going."

"Now that, is interesting." Iris states as Vorse and she trot out of the building.

"Pray tell?" Vorse asks her with a look of curiosity on his face.

"Because since the fall of the Enclave, Spike hasn't made much contact with us, just staying up in his dragon hole, or flying down around as Watcher."

"This just got even better then. Let's get a move on."

"Do I have to ride in one of those contraptions you make, again? You know I get motion sickness."

"Would you rather take the week trek by hoof?"

"Fine. Build that flyer at least. At least it is more stable than the others."

"OK!" Vorse shouts as they get outside the base, which has a few metal cube barriers surrounding the entrance. The magic veins running from his suits cell box to his front hooves as his horn also glows a forest green. He plants his hooves on a metal cube, almost as tall as he is, and a web of energy flows out of his hooves, covering the metal cube. Inside the cube, a chip, which is wired to each of the corners of the cube, changes to a green color, immediately before the cube itself begins to morph, the sides warping in and out, changing until the entire thing had transformed into some kind of dual prop helicopter-motorcycle hybrid. Vorse and Iris both climb in, Vorse in the pilot seat.

"There you two are." Spike growls as Vorse and Iris enter his cave. "You are late for a very important date."

"I'm sorry Elder, but we don't know why we are here, and we got here as quickly as we could, if somepony didn't have to stop by New Sweet Apple Acres." Iris replies to the massive and ancient dragon.

"What! I haven't had good chow since I joined the military."

"That is beside the point. You finally made it here ponies. It is time for you to find out why you came. ERA, GET YOUR ASS OUT HERE!" Spike shouts back into his cave. Moments later, a teenage dragon, with light, pale blue scales, a set of wicked horns, laid back over his head, curling back up to a sharp point at the base of the neck, and spines that curve upwards like scycles along his spine. He lacked wings, and his tail was simple, having only two points along with a tip. "Meet End of the Dragon Era, or Era for short. He and I are the last remaining dragons alive, except for the dragon said to be beyond the waste. His mother was rare tribal dragon, hence the name. His mother was also poached in the wasteland outside Equestria.

"So what is he doing here?" Vorse asks.

"I'll let him tell you."

"Well, I did research, using Spikes massive library, to see if I could find any information of dragonkind. I couldn't find shit."

"Language!" Spike says at the young dragon.

"Sorry. Anyways, I was able to find one thing. There an ancient magic relic, said to be able to turn the remains of any dead dragon, back into an egg."

"WH-h-h-aaa-aah?" Iris gasps, her jaw dropped.

"What my marefriend here means to say is, DAFUQ?" Vorse shouts, jaw also dropping.

"You mean to tell me, that you want us, to help you, find the 500000 karat Soul Diamond?"

"Yes Iris." Era replies. "How did you know about it?"

"My grandmother's grandmother's grandmother allegedly said that she had found it, and that is how she got a dragon egg. But this was before the megaspells dropped, in old Canterlot, over 300 years ago."

"Well that is good to know."

"And how exactly is that good news Scaler?" Vorse asks in a negative tone.

"It's good, mecha head, because the book said that whenever the owner of the relic dies, it returns to the birthplace of dragons."

"My point exactly."

"If you would wait a moment, you would let me finish to say that, by using the Watcher system, I have heard about somepony who is selling off dragon scales and dragon scale accessories."

"And where is this?" Vorse asks the young dragon.

"Honestly, I don't know, but the rumor came from the Alicorn settlement past the Stalliongrad wasteland border."

"You mean Manechorage?" Spike asks Era.

"Yes, thank you."

"Well I suppose we have first objective then." Iris says. "After we get our gear, yes?" She asks, turning to Vorse.

"Mmmmm, yesh, I do believe we shhhould gather our new instruments of destruction, what shay you my good dragon?"

"What is he doing?" Era asks Iris, a look of bewilderment showing on his scaled face.

"He likes to act like a fancy pony randomly. I don't know why."

"While you three gather gear your new, I'm going to send word to Stalliongrad to arrange travel to Manechorage."

"Whatever." Vorse replies. "Just show us were the goods are."

"They are at the cave entrance, to the sides." Spike replies, before turning his massive bulk around, heading deeper into his cave, likely to make the contact with Stalliongrad, as the two ponies and other dragon head back out.

"Come 'ere little one." Iris says, beckoning the baby hellhound towards her, her horn glowing dark purple as her magic creates an energy bone, which the hound leaps at a grabs with its mouth.

"I don't know why you are bothering with that little thing." Vorse states, excitedly, as his horn glows, sending energy into nanomorphic pair of cubes, both roughly as large as his head, which proceeded to, to the surprise of Vorse, generate rockets, and fly around his armored hooves, flowing up his legs, along the sides of his armor, until settling along his sides.

"AWESOME! GEMS!" Era exclaims randomly, as he opens his travel bag.

"…" Vorse and Iris simply stare at the dragon.

"What? I can do different things based on what type of gem I ate last. I ate a sapphire last, I believe." Era states, before opening his mouth, and spouting a torrent of water out of the cave.

"What in tartarus happened to you scaler?" Vorse asks, surprised at the recent development.

"According to what my mother told me, as an egg, I was stolen. When she found the pony who stole the egg, they were in a field of radiation, almost where one of the megaspells hit all that time ago. Did something to me while I was growing. Now gems change my breath. Saphires equal water, rubies for fire, diamond for pure energy. That is all I know so far."

"Damn. Never thought I would see a dragon, let alone a mutant one." Iris states in a hushed voice.

"Yeah yeah, I know." Era replies.

"It's all settled you three. Time to go to an Alicorn city."

Trust me, I have a tendency to improve chapter length over time by 3X the earlier chapters.

And thanks
