Why call him Prance Horrigan and not something like Frog Horrigan?

Admittedly, I just felt that Prance Horrigan had a nice ring to it and flowed off the tounge easily. Clearly a pony name, while still being easily recognizable as a reference to Frank Horrigan.

Thank you! I'm glad you're enjoying it.

I don't know all that much about the lore of Fallout Equestria, can someone tell me how many died when the Enclave collapsed? There should be a few dozen civilians for each active soldier, so a few ten thousand should be the minimum, right?

When the Enclave came down from the sky, almost half of their forces were lost when Littlepip detonated a balefire bomb. By the time the Enclave collapsed, they had lost countless battles and most of their forces were dead. The destruction of the cloudlayer practically put an end to all that remained, revealing the Enclaves lies to the ponies that had lived under their regime. Before they fell, the Enclave almost wiped a few settlements off the map and the final battle against them was described as the biggest battle since the great war, so though I don't have a specific number for the amount of ponies that died, I think it's safe to say it was a lot. In conclusion, the Enclave is not in a great spot at the moment.

“There is a… secondary objective… that we intend to procure at the MOA hub. At the moment, you do not need the details, only Firestreak and I are currently in a position to know, but rest assured that it is absolutely necessary for the Enclaves survival. Unfortunately, I have my doubts that Icewind will so simply stand by while we procure this objective… Are you understanding what I’m asking of you?”

You want me to keep Icewind in line?” I asked simply.

Oh shit, is he talking about FEV Curling-13 from fallout 2? he planed to wipe out the entire world population?

You manage to humanized Horigan. i'm impressed. :twilightsmile:
i hope it's still not too late for his redemption though.

Speaking of Loyalty, i just realize that Prance is pretty much Anti-Rainbow Dash. while Rainbow choose her friend over the Wonderbolt, Prance in turn choose the Enclave. they both are different but still loyal in their own ways.

Thank you! I wanted to make Horrigan a more interesting character than just the big bad that we see in the game.

As for redemption... only time will tell...

by the title aloanI love it.
lets get to readin

I stared at her for a moment longer, my eyes looking over every inch of her being. My eyes came to rest for a brief moment on the brand that adorned her flank before I forced myself to look away from it and back into her eyes. “I am a good pony,” I responded lamely. “I obey.

“No,” Skylight said simply. “You’re a good soldier. There’s a very big difference.”

Good Soldiers Follow Orders

I been thinking. does Prance have one of those inhibitor chip?

Horrigans blind obedience comes mostly from a lifetime of manipulation and mental conditioning. However, the Enclave did experiment with different cybernetic in his brain for two years, so who knows what they might have also implanted to keep him in line... Let's be honest, the Enclave is definitely not above using tactics like that to control ponies.

finished all the chapters up till now and amazing just amazing

Thank you! I'm glad you've enjoyed the story so far.

I somehow suspect that this new stable pony is Blackjack. she is only pony alive who can relatable to Prance i could think of.

11472297
or it could be the vault pony of the other story the author is righting.

11486403
I can dreaming. and beside, she was at maripony when it blow up. also, she had been turn into cyber-alicorn once. it would be awesome to see them fight.

Awesome chapter thank you so much for continuing it

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed the chapter! :twilightsmile:

11508780
And thank you for continuing to read the story. It means a lot. I'm glad that you liked the chapter.

Just as i suspected, a ponified FEV Curling 13. i wasn't that expect that many megaspell though, this gave me Lone Some Road vibe. i can see how this going to end, except for Dr Knife who seem like a mad scientist stereotypes, he seem unredeemable. no no, think this time Horrigan will be in Dr Curling's shoes instead. questioning his morality just as Curling does in Fallout 2, am i guessing right?

It would be cool if this new Stable Pony is actually Blackjack, she was in the same way Prance does once. she never question her duty, untill she was outside Overmare's influence. it'll be perfect if she facing Prance and tell him her virtue, "made up for it" and "do better" . beside, she probably has higher kill count that Horrigan.

poor Vapour. he's good pony. also, did Prance just awake his green alicorn power?

11564393
Yup, you were right on the money with the ponified FEV Curling-13! And Lonesome Road was defiantly an inspiration. I'll let the next two chapters confirm or deny your prediction.

Believe it or not, Blackjack being the Stable Pony was actually an idea in my initial concept for this story for much the same reasons you proposed. As a PH fan, Blackjack verses Horrigan is a fight that I would've loved to see! But I unfortunately decided against the idea. It wouldn't have worked with what I have planned for a number of reasons, awesome as it would've been.

Vapour will be missed. And yup, Prance just unlocked his green Alicorn shield. Because clearly he wasn't strong enough already.

Thank you for commenting and continuing to read this story. It really means a lot. :twilightsmile:

This is awesome. Seriously, it is.

Also, how to visualize what's going to happen when Prance learns the truth:

I'm glad you've enjoyed so far!

Also,:rainbowlaugh:I think that visualizes what could happen perfectly.

Shit about to get serious >:D

Hope to see more in the future m8 :D

Thank you for reading and commenting! I hope to have a new chapter out relatively soon.

11591986
yyyaaaaayyyy :DDD

Just taek ur time m8, no need to rush :)

WAIT WHAT?! ONE LEFT?!

Awwwww, Prance is going to die right? I really hope not, that would be so cliché.

Ma boi must live! Plz dont kill him :<

I'm honoured that you care about Horrigan enough to worry for his safety. Live, die, or something in between however, I will leave for the final chapter to unveil.

I will be disappointed if Horrigan didn't say Semper Fi in the final chapter.

I know it's a latin word, and zebra in Fallout Equestria speak latin.
but hey, the g4 pegasi is based on the ancient rome, so it's make sense that the Grand Pegasus Enclave has a motto in latin.

In US Marine Corps, Semper Fidelis mean always faithful to those on our left and right, from the fellow Marines we fight alongside, to those in our communities for which we fight.(qoute from marines.com)
I think this is vital for Horrigan as a character.

Well, that was magnificent! Easily one of the best FO:E fanfic out there!

But now, I really want a sequel where Prance somehow survived. I feel like much more could be done with this character. :twilightsmile:

I'm beyond honoured that you've enjoyed the story! Thank you so much for reading and commenting!

As for sequels, I might have an idea or two in mind for some of these characters still, somewhere down the line... but that's a story for another day...

Whelp, time to read all this again :)

Can't believe this is the end for ma boi :(

11659169
Thank you for reading and commenting :)

P.S. Sorry about your boi...

Just wanted to point out that Harbinger was a General (or High General) and the Enclave didn't lose a Thunderhead at Splendid Valley.

Other than that, looking forward to reading on.

11664014
I didn't know that about Harbinger. That's good to know.

I do believe a Thunderhead was destroyed in the explosion (at least that's what the FO:E wiki told me when I first did my research for this story), but it's admittedly been a long while since I read the original fic itself, so Kkat might have said otherwise.

Regardless, I hope you enjoy the rest of the story!

Fantastic story in the genre. I enjoyed it all.
