> Fallout Equestria: A Gleam of Hope > by Xx soul sorrow xX > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Chapter 1: The lady of the Night > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hunger. It was all she felt thebse days. Everyday was the same... Steal, kill, eat, rinse, repeat. Most meals was cracker and tots. Sometimes a hoagie? Twilight was low on nutreants and needed to get move. She gotta get a move on. She had been at the assylum since Derpy and Rarity left to venture into The unknown... Twilight pushed her ratty hair behind her ear and outta the way. She smack her lips as she think what to do. The assylum was barren now from years of setting off Bombs to escape gourds from catching her. Twolight consider herself a escape goat except she were a pony. AFter a brick wall collapse and a Bunch of inmates escaped, the Assym staff gave up and left. Those still in cells were left behind to die... it was better that way. Better to starve and die than be exposed to the horrers outside. Cannibals roamed the streets with a virus. Black magic users put curses on people. Some were cursed with rash. Others would go insane and without a hospital, they would wander off into the forrest to die. Twilight stoamch grumpled like "HHERIUUGH" and she moaned LOud. While Twilight was a sassy escapiss, she had been trapped in her cell for a few mmonths when rubble crush her and block the door. She dwelled in the dark dank cement with the death stink for what seem like ever... Surviving off of the left over bodies. Now she was down the bones of the inmates. Occasionally food appear through the hole when she prayed like sometimes a hoagie but not always :( Time was caching up to her... soon she would be a gooner, forever forgotten, left as the last corpse amongst the piles of bones. But did she want to escape? Maybe, she could lay down right ther eon the horse bods and sleep forever into the death of night, and swimming off into the swim into the ocean of afterlife… Maybe she see her dead pals there like Tulips Trotz and Christma sKevin and Gerry,.... "I have to get of here..." she sayed to herself in quietly/ Then the purple mair punch a boulder and turn around quick, around her boulders FALL AROUND and light pierced her eye balls. After the dust settle like the pioneers of old, Twilight peak through her fingers. Finally... after onths she saw sunlight. She was in a whole new earth around her again. She her spirit was realined and she was filled with hope. Her eyes water with a Gleam of Hope... Twilight stretched her hoove out of the rubble and felt the hot concrete foundation the building once standed on. The smell of powerful chemical filled her nose cavaties and it burned like a fire of flames. But, it was still better than the reak of cropses and feces in her rubble shack. Now the rubble shack would be a grave of What once was her home for 62 days and 62 nights. Twilight crawl out, “what should I do?” She thot. Then she had a idea zap into her brain cells like jimmy neutron brain blast? She could meat up with her old buddys Derpy and Rainbop to see if they won, maybe the world would git better? Maybe they get world piece once and for all… It had ben three years since they left and she seen em she followed rainbow until they left but they forgot her and a guy grab her and arrest her so she stayed and its been three years so she want to see them again and see if they get world piece got it o Yeah maybe they do it? Only one way to fond out. She had to go venture out go get them she was lonely lady in the shack. The rubble shack. She Was the lady in the rubble the outlaster. Like the last of us the video game she was like ellie like the last one the last person in there in the rubble shack. She decide to go whatever it takes. It been three years? Would they remember who? WOuld they recognize her face? Her eyes? Her nose? Her hands? Only one way… to know….. Then she remember she hungers so Twilihht ran to the first food joint she think of. Just down the block from the assylum was “CUrds” cheese shack. ds.Twilight had a lucky bit she saved her mom gave uher…. Back in her childhood when she was a 8 years old. Twilight sprinkle a tear down her purple cheek and smeared her makeup. It was the only thing left from her mom Twilight Velvetine…. She prayed to her mom but not for a hoage this time. “Mom I dont know what to do now. I need food and gotta get a at Curds shack but This is all I have left… please forgive me. I love you. Give dad a ghost hug for me, Love, your most fateful student, Twilight Sparkle.” It takes Twilight a memento to regain her self but she put her hoof down like Iron Will and makes her way down the road toward the shack. Curd Shack cheese shack was where the Tough guys went… only the baddest of the bad could get in. But a vixen like twilight could flirt her way in. She been doing it since she was a young girl at the bars. Its why she is a alcoholig since a kid. Twilight licked her hoof to sclick her hairs back, and adjust her eyelashes just right. Then flaunt to the man at the door. He was a big chested stallion who got grey coat and grey hair… maybe he was another color in a time before the distopia dirt land they live in. He also got a fat scar on his head, from a battle? Or a fight? “Hey there hot shot, you got room for me in there?” she say seduct “Hey mama you can come in any day. Ok I will make sure you get a drink on the House” Twilight smack her lip  on his dirt cheek and he smile. He grab her and kiss her all on the face and she run in before he can grab her up and kidnap her. :( In the bar it smelled like curd. Twilight take a big olwhiff. Churd shack was known for its goremay cheese stack. It was it’s special dish. Twilight only got One bit to spend tho… Maybe she could work her magic on the bartender. Bartender was name Dirty Dish but he was called Dirty for short. and he was had blonde hair and was a color coat. He spit in a juggie and had a bad eye. It was from eye disease. “Hey dirty boy I Was told I could get a drink on the house” said the purple with a wink “Yeah baby Doll no problem but you gotta earn it with a dance” He pointed to a dirty dented pole There was peanut all over the floor around.  “Kranston, turn on the Box” dity dish say with a smug. Kranston punch the old busted up juicebox and it play Trouble by Tailer Swift. The music sound bad. The boys turned there heads to her Twilight roll her eyeballs. This wasnt the first time she had to do this. She knew the routine. “Okay Dishy, I’ll play your game; Twilight start dancing with the pole and swingin aroung tong and shake her hips. The men dranking alpchol stopped to watch and whistle and say “Yes Keep Going” Twilight try dancing faster but they don;t. The pole too greasy. It was like it got smear with ccream but really its sweat? She hang on tight and slip around on the peanut shells below and fell and broke her tooth. But the show must go on as they say so she didn’t le the pain stop her. Trouble, trouble I knew you were trouble when you walk in” the music blasted and everyone clapped alung. Twilight slipped onto the wood floor and broke her tooth. Twilight wipe away the blood and sweat and tears as the song end. She goed back to Dish Dirt and DEMAND her free beverage of choise.  “Whoah there hambone ok what you want” “I don;t want a drink,,, I want food. I have been starving for four days now, traped in a rubble shack.” Dirby Dish looked under the counter. Twilight hoped she could get the cheese stack. “I got a leftover cheesedog you can have it that but thats all I got Sparkle” Twilight loved fresh steamy hotdog from the fair when she was a girl befor ethe world became a hellish nightmare of blood and grub. She never have one with cheese on top.Her lips salivated at the thought. // Dirty dis handed her a grease paper brown baggie. It smell real bad. Twilight reached inside the baggy and pulled out the Food. Inside was a disappointment soggy bun menace… It wasn;t Real hodog. This was just a sausage casing with orange cheese whiz in the inside. Twilight gumped in a gulp. It was all she had… she had to make it work… she inhale the dog to get it down fast like joey chessnut (world hotdog champ) faster than him to get it down asap as possible. Twilight gaggle and spit up alittle like a baby gurgling milk. She had to swallow or she wood starve. Twilight teared up and cry but she had to. Out here in the wild west of the inner city, things were rough. But she knew she would get through. She knew it. Would get through. > 2. Ghost on the Shore > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- TWilight choke and swallow the hot doggie down and run out the bar crying. All the men laugh and crack at her. She face grew red and wrinkly from embarrassmant. Even the door gourd laugh at her. " Wow, not so beautiful now chonking on a hotdog" he said and laughing\ The unichorn had to get out of here. She hadda get Out of town. She had to get it. Twilight scream as she race to the abandoned docks and flung a spoon into the raging waters of the shore. She fell to the ground cryingn and morning the loss of her innocence and life. Her mom Twilight Velvetetine and her dad Cheesecake warehouse were hardworking civilians who fot for Twilight to live a life. But now she resort to being a horse of the night. Twilight stcuk her toes in the water and imagine her hoof was her whole body being washed way in the sea. He looked out in the distance pass the smog and fog and see Sombera Liberal Consevation Democratic Repubic was. it were really the old northern crystal Kingdom but he change it but they call it Sombra Island for short. so she looked out and Saw the isalnd and thought about where her Long Lost Friends was. Sudanly, behind her a voice in the distance made a voice. It sounded like a Man. Twilight grab a shard of glass from a fat broken bottle and tuurn around in fear. She whip the shard the slice it open. Behind her a griffon screak in pain. He had Brown and had a cutie mark of a green jewel and a big ol scar across his eyeball and down his neck. The scar even went on his eyeball. Twilight call it a scarball. "Holy Sh*it sorry" she yell at him. Blood get everywhere it was gross. The blood soke into the yellow sand, making a deep orange hue. She had cut the griffin on the chest and he fall to the ground. Twilight neal down next to his limp bod. She rip off piece of her hair to wrap around him like a sash. Ughgh.. thank you..." he moan. "Sorry I cutted you with that shart, I was scared you were a criminal" "Where I;m from, I would be called a criminal now..." he wink at her "My name is Bucky Chucking.I escaped from the hands of King Kombra across the sea. He thought he could get away with killing me but he was WRONG> I escaped trying to save my friends... but they send me a messgae. To you." Twilight was shacked. "How did you know it was me. Who is the message from? WHo is it? How do you know my name and my face and? Who are you from Chucky?" it was a good guestion. "Listen beloved horse. Derpy and Rainbow and Rarity need us. They only way the escape the Sombra's reign forever is to fight. But they need to be free from death." the Bucky said. Twilight shed a tear "You... you knew my friends..." "Yes. We fought the good fought and tried to stop sombre, but..." but what said But he killed them all before I could make it...." Bucky biggin to sob as the blood flow out. He was a mess of blood and death and sadness of mourning.... Twilight hurdle him in her arms in love. Twilight new his pain. Together they cried as the waves of the sea splash against the shore. They were so close Bucky could smell Twilight's perfume she had on. Shed smelled like a fresh blossom from the vine. Bucky smell like blood but Twilight wouldnt tell nobody ;) Bucky leaned his lips over and Kissed twilight. Twilight embraced it she doesn;t hadnt felt a man's touch in so long. "Bucky I cant" what I cant be your lover" said twolight "This is no time and place for Love... We have to go. We c=gtotta get it to make it. gotta gp get them back from the dead. Bring them back to life its the only way' twilight cried a cry of tear "ok" he said back Lets go They get up and walk away from the shore nd bucky gotta hang on to the wrapping around his chest of Twilght hair. It was coming apart cause Twilight's hair was oily becaus she use silky smooth touch of a conditioner to make it slicK. He tie it really tight/ Meanwhile Twilight look behind her and see it... It was the ghost of her mother Twilight Vtletne. She looked at Twilight and saluted. A ghost tear roll down her cheek. Twilight look back and salute and walk away... ready to start her journey.... Bucky lead Twilight throu the harbor town she had stumbled into. All the buildings were made of wood and Barnacle. It did not take long before the pony realized her was hungry again. She try to hide her pain inside but her stomach let out a grungle. Bucky turned and said "Hey Are You Okay" "No All I had was a cheese brot sausage dog? I dont know what it was called. I through it back up though so I'm starving like a tin roof in a Churchill. Bucky cry Beacuse his mom was from Churchhill. "Lets get you some grub, ok?" Buck wiped away his tears and he grab her horse hoof and they wet there. They went there to get go get ffood. Twilight even said a joke "How about we get hoagies like from the hole." and Bucky laughed. They rounded a corner on the boardwalk they walk down and saw an old shack with a cardboard fish stand. it was like a big square with a hole where you take a picture and you'r ethe guy but this one you take a picture with a face in the hole and its a big fish. Twilight's face was Lit. "Bucko take apicture of me!" she said cute. Bucky whip out his phone to do It. Twilight run to the stand but on the fish there were a sign that said Do Not "HUh? What in the heck--" Twilight walk closer and Bucky hurry up. Whats Wrong he said "I dont think I'm supposed to use it but I want a picture for a memory." Twilight go behind and stick her head inside the hole. Bucky was cry from laughter "YOU LOOK LIKE A FISH HAHA" he take out the iPhone 5s and snap a shot. Twiligth try to get out but her head were stuck.... Oh no... "I can't get out Bucky help" so Becky ran up and tryed to pull it off but it was NO USE! It was stuck there now. Twilight held back fat tears that swelled in her lids like a witch's brew. Bucky grab the bace of the stand and pluck it out so twilight could move around. She walked with the stand on and try to fit inside the shack door. Inside it was dark with nobody there so she didnt half to feel embraraced. When she pushed through she fell SPLAT like (that) Then Bucky and Twilight sit on the floor and figure out a plan, but before they can get it goin, it started to storm. It had been months since the last storm so Twilight was Shocked. Bucky said "Hold on Twilight, lets fetch some water to survive." They had to drink water in order to survuve the harsh lands they were in the harsh lands. Bucky get a pail from a moldy corner and put it outside. It was Essential they get water to drink in these times to survive. Wihout water they had no chance to make it out here. they would be but husks in a ashack left too die. They had to drink. Twilight sucked her saliva for hydration. Bucky took a second to recoop. He looked sad "Twilight this shaq was supposed to be a fish fry diner but it looks like it was left to rot.... I'm sorry.. now we are stuck here and you cant move because of the fish cut out and Hungry..." Twilight wasnt mad but she couldnt hug Buckj to make him feel better because she was stuck but she sat next to him and they staired outside the shack into the rainy musk of of Sea, looking for answers. > Chapter 3: Microwave Transformasion > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Her tummy grumble and her neck sweatt. Twilight thought about her life and Her death. If she couldent get out, Bucky might kill her for sustancecent like a badger in a bookcase. Bcucky was still asleeping qand Twilight could hear his mighty snore. he snore like a Bird. Twilight flip her body around to get a good angle. She squish her jaw under the cardbord hole and bit the juicy board til it broke. She cronch it and it was not have bad actually. She take another bite and soon her head were able to get free itself from it. Twilight rejoice in a high five and skidaddle. She crawld over to Buckyb and she did? Bucky snore real loud real proud. Twilight say like “A>” Bucky awakens from hSCREECH he him slumber. He say like “Hey Twilight Oh my god! Your free now!” He rolled over to lay next to her on the grime floor of rotting wood and nails. then she discover iyt. It was microwave? it had made  of white plastic and sit there smugly on the ground. Twilight spittle on it. “STOP” yell VBuck. (thats is Twilite’s nock name for him). “Why” said the horse. “W” said buck. “Oh okay” said. Bucky crawl over to the microwaves and he open it  he. he pry it opened with a crow bar laying there on the ground convenient. IT was usually easy 2 open becase it a microwave but it got a bunch o molten sauce spill in it and explode and seal the door shut with .  debris. so he use a crowbar. it look like chernobyl elephany foot kinda. twilight smell it it smell like bad like a Arm Pit.  Twilight saw it inside upon glance… there was food. LOT of fod but it was mouldy and crusty :( it has more mold than food even,. Bucky plugged his nose “Wowee that is rank haha” Twilight gave him a look and bucky recluse. “Maybe we can use it though” Twilight can use it with her magic? She ran out of dousing rods and her horn broke in the war times so she needed alternate medicines to help. Twilight was disability. sometimes she try to horn magic but it jus do sparks and piddle out like pspspsppspgg. It was like when you blow bubbles in a milk cup wiTh a straw except the bubbles was magic. So she said “I can’t do it?”Said twilight  Cucky said  uck said HMMMMM. Then she did it!  They wow and woah at the micowave. It spin and spin. Buckle gave a hearty laugh and Twilight was prod at herself. Then he said Hey Twilk what can we put i it.’ “Maybe I find a animal?” siad twiligt. “Good luck honeysuckle there aint no animals out here no more to hunt“ he horkl. Twilight huff and say “Well I guess we gotta try are best Buck” Then they decide to go and get but what? WHat kind? What kidn were tere? Per haps babbit or armadillo? Elk? I dont know In  the middle of the cabin cozy they were in Twilight dig in the ground with her hoof hands. there was hole in the wood so they can do it. she find a worm and a bottle. and some can of beef. It was expired in the 2005’s. :) said twickle. (that were bucky nick name for her) Then he dig more and more and dig like a fungus in a cunk and dig. she find a carcass shell of a lobsetr I think or maybe crawdaddy? but it was already dead. “Hm we gotta keep doing it” she thonk to hreself. she kept diggin and found the Mother Loade. It was a alive one like a Baby Alive baby so real and it was a mole. Bucky grab it up in her long fingers like a mother grabib up a child. Twelite and him said “shhh I love you” she wisper to its ear hole. it screamed in deLite at the light it finally get to see like a new birth. It was born again in the lord. Buncle and Twitwi were the parents like merry and joseph fathers of jesus. The Mole was like the Prodigal Son. Twilight said “Lets name you Corgyn on the Rocks“ tthey did call him because he lived in the rock and dirts. and they baptist him in the name of the fagher and the Holy Lord. Then twi said “ok poppem in the oven :)” and bucky grab him and pop the animal in the microwave like a Poppon Cookin Japan edition style candy. Becase he aint finished cooking he isn’t fully formed. Twilight was confused but it was Bucky’s culture of the Grffin kind. She had to let him do his customs. Bucky prayed and kissed C orgy (his nick name) on the Rocks on the head and set him in there. He set the microwave to defrost and it spin again Wow and spin and spin. Corgin squeak a lil bit and maybe he sayed words but it was hard to hear. Microwave sputtler and loud and buzz like “HHRRRRRNNNNNNNNHH:” It was loud and bad. Twilight tried to look in the window at her Baby Boy but the light was bronk and wasnt brite enough it was . and the window covered in food and mold mildews anyhow. CorgYn stopped crying and Bucky smiled. Then they open the door and smoke filled the cabin Luckily there were no fire alarms (lol) Twilight reached into the pits of the beast and pulled out the. It trans formed? He was mostly burned to a charred and he was no longer alice so sad. and Twiilight mourned. Bucky pat her horse shoulders as twilight cried tears. He said “its ok twilight he was not strong enough for Life. But he is in. a better place.” The tears singe and sizzle when they hit the carcass. “His body will sustain us” said Buggy somber and twilight cry more. But she Understand.She understood the risk she had to take to survive. But on the bright side they had food again besides fish cardboard. > Chapter 4: Lima Juice > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Corgen on the Rocks left Twilight and Bucky feeling dandy He made a nice sustaining Meal. Twiligth cry as she swallow each chunk of crunch flesh but she sucked it up like a sippy cup and stop crying like a man. She wanted to empress Bucky Chuckle. The purple horse look over at Bucky as he eat. He studied he's food and ate slow and thoughtful. He looked tired and exhausted sitting there as the sun rays shine through to reveal his true beauty form. As he eat maybe he were thinking about her.../? She couldnt know. Twiight coughing up a fur. "WOAH are you okay" said bucky serendipidoiusly. "No" said twig. Oh. Unfortately tgwiligt still hungry so she. She said "Bunky I'm still hangry". "OHHH" said Buck Chuck. Luckyly he had a bonus snack in his backpack. It was Lima Juice. (Lima beans) It was green and have chunks. MMMMM said twilight. But they had to share it they had to make rations. Bucky said to the whorse "twilight you can only have one half of the can." and twiligt said "Ok Bucky you can onlt have one half." "Deal" they said and shake on it. they chug it and drink. "MMm delicious..." they both said with a voice of Pleasure. Twilight smack her lips on porpoise to get his attention. Her saliva salivatore down her chins. Bucky bluch a bright red blush color. He hide his cheeky beak grin and Twilight saw though, oopsss. Twilight open her maw bigger and bigger each time her chew it the juice. Eventually it were Bucky's turn and she hand over the juice and it had her spits on it. Twilight blush cause now Bucky had to have her saliva on him it was like they were kissing but don't... but thwy do. It was like Indirect Kiss. Twilight looked at bucky se blush with romance. Chucky Bucking was so handsome he has brown feathers and a bulge scar that was red like in a flipnote hatena OC. Just befire she Make a Move bucky said "So hey Twilight what is the plan?." Teilight said "well lets' find the rest of the mane six. Maybe they can help us defeat sonbra." Bucky said "well I got bad news I know for shore Rainbow and Rarity died from got killed... they were killed by sombra's army. I could escaped but they don't." Twiligyt said "Hmm well what about the others? What about Pinkie Pie? What about Fluter and apples jack?" Bucky said "I don't know, the odds ain't good that they still alive though" Twilight said "Ugh bunck din't be such a bummer... We got to have Hope, in our hearts. If we want to survive" Buck said "Oh okay you're right..." Twilight tjen said "Lets go look around the City to see if we can find any info." Buckie thought that was a good idea so he did do it he said "Okay " and smile wthb. Tilight blushed st his smile so charming handsome. But he didn't saw it. They go into the city streets of dirt i the air. In the distance was fire alarm sireens and someone screamed. Twolight cried as herOwn mother screams haunted her every day thoughts. Twilight's mom was a hood rat who got caught up in Drug Gang, a dasterdly gang doung drugs and selling them. Twilight's mom name is Twilight Sprinkle, and she used to be a spinner :/ Twilight shudder like a windows shudders like in the cold storm hurricane of olden tales... Bucky walk close to her to protect her safe. His warm bod was like an angel sent from Hell... A dark angel of love. it was kinda like back in The Day when angels were like a big ball of eyes and features and not just a human being with un halo. He look her n her eyeball... his eyes sparked a glow of red ruby gem, but it flash quick and go away in a flash. Twilight gadp. It was abeuatiful moment. But Suddenly gun shots appear shot thru the night. and more screams and twilight ran to hide in a alley and bucky followed. Buck said "Here twilught take my hand I know where we can go to safety." twilight grabed it no hesittaion. She had to get Outta It. outta there. bucky fly with his wings amd it was like a moment. They go up and the sun light steamed down. Twilight was held in bucky's strong hands and she looked up at him with wonder. the sun illuminated his features so handsome and his sweat dropps gleamin becase twilight was kind of heavy so it strain to carry her a lil bit. he flied up and up and up. Up and Up like coldplay song. Finallu they left the sonds of the city and the streets and the crimes. They went up to a field of clouds. It was ;ike a big field in the park but it was clouds. the sun shine through and it was like a heavenly dream. Buck said "Ok I think we are safe now." He put him down and she sit. In the clouds. "Wow Buncy you saved me..." said Twiliht. "Of course no prob" said the griffen. He pull out the can o juice from earlier ad said "Hey twilight wany more lima juice?" "I already drink the half the can?" said the twiliht confusion. "That was the deal bucky you get tje rest..." "I know the deal" said bucky "But you had a trauma experience and i know how hungry you get sp you can have more of it I don't mind." "Wow bucky thanks..." Twilight grab the can and drink it graciously. It was night time so after twilight full from her meal she curl up on the grond like a animal. She sleeped away like sleepaway camp and bucky chunky held her body for warmth and also for love. After they awake in the morning. Twilight get up and siad "hey Buck what shuld we do?" Bucky yawn and said "Well I guess we should go back to the city and try to find info on your buddys." "Oh yeah" Twilight said. They go down to the ground they flied there. Bucky snooped around for a little bit because he had to see if it was safe and the people who shoot guns weren't there anymore. They werrn't so they go. Twilight walk around and said "What should we be looking for anyhow." Bucky looked and said "I don't know" Twilight said "Uhh ok I guess I will just look then." They walk around some more but they stayed low becayse it was tsill danger in the streets. Twilight found a stale bagel so they shared it. Nromally twilight ate the whole thing but since Buncky didn't get more lima juice last night Twilight share more tha usaul to be fair. The pair of pals dip inside a break down building with busted out windows. it used to be a Corner Store but now it was just a home for druggies and squatters. They ain't there now though so it was safe. Buck sit down and ate the bagel and Twilight stare out the window. Then she gasp "Bucky look" she say. "What" he ssid. "Look at that bill board it looks familiar." she say and point to it. It was old faded billboard ad for a place twlight recognize... Sweet Apples Bunker. > Chapter 5: The Journey > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Twiligt pull up her magic G[pes. er magic dont work good but lucky her gps still does. Now that they know there destunation it was time to Go. twiligt been there to Sweet apple buker in the olden days of old but er memory isnt as good as it used to so she didn't know were it was. "HHhmm well i think its here" said brunkle. RTwiligt look and he was right! "Thanks bugy " said twilight and hug im like a buddy or maybe like soul mate? They Head Off to it. They fly and fly but suddenly, twilit coke and gasp. She had a stomac crunch and a real doozy of a one. "Buck I cant fly anymore" she said. "Ok" they stop and go to the ground. Wat hapenned" said bucky. "I got a stomac crank real bad" said twiligt. It was cramp. "WWe got to stop until its better" said twioligt with a somber note like a forest clearing at night time. "No problem My lady" said bucky. "Ill get you fixed up" Twligt sleep for a nap and bucky te griffone went off to find a medicinal herbs. Tey cant afford to go to drug store and buy a iibuprofen so they had to go back to their Roots (lol get the pun) and use a plants from the wild. Buky searc Hi and Low for his love. He find it and run back to twiligt so quick he forgott to use his wings and that he can fly even. Buck go to the unicorn and said "Here Have this plant" and hend it to her. "Wow bucky its bautiful" said twilight and she teared up. "No you have to eat it for your somach" "Oh" said twilight and se did. Twiligt was still Out of Commission like a unpopular artist so se sleeped off the pain and wait for it to kick in. Wile she did it bucky strategize. They could get to apple bunker pretty quick since they were close. but it was near nigt time so might as well stop for the night anyhow. After he got his plan bucky cucking decide ti sleep rigt next to twiligt parkle. In The Morning it was time. twilte look around and looked. she felt real good so good like a funk. Buckt worke up and was like ey twilit I got you something. "What is it" said twiligt. He gaved her te gift it was empty 2litre bottle. "WOW" said twilte. se put it on her horn stump it was a perfect fit!!! It was like armor like a helmet. BUT they got to go so twiligt take it off and put it in buckys backpack for later. Bick start up the GPS and get to go.c Tey go and get to it a while later. Twilite feel the wind whip her wings as they fly above the clouds and the bunk came into view. On it's surface was a farm with a barn and a silo or two. fields of wat used to be farmland but was now a wasteland and a badlands. there wasn't a sign that said it's a bunker because its secret. But they knew. They fly down in there and go to te dirts. Twilit follow the directions, 12 steps to the right and 11 to the east. There was a X marks the spot. Twilight smile a knowing smile. Se scrape with her hoove and dig. Bucky came and helped and finally the earth opened like a seismic rift and they saw a rusty crookd ladder going down into the earth to the bunker. "Come on bucky let's go" the horse said. "Ok" he reply. e take twilights foot stump in his bird hand and they creep down into the night of darkness. The ladder go on for ever and for ages. Then a light came into view. It was like the light of daytime emerging from the night. "Hurry up twi we're almost there" said Buck with a whisper voice. "DONT RUSH ME" twilight wisper in reply. buck said :(. They go and go and suddenly they smack into the ground. The light appear now and was blinding. Twilt and tthe bird man squinch their eyes in the light. "WHO GOES THERE" said a loud angry voice. It sound like a woman or maybe a man. Twiligt said "Hey this is seet apples bunker right?" "yeah" said the person. Twilt step into the light and said "It's me, twilight sparkle..... I need your help, we are all in grave danger" "If you need my help it will come at a cost" SAID THE VOICE. "I will do anything I can to help" said Twilight. The person put down te light and twiligt could see that it was who she suspect, Applejack. She orange body and yellow blond hairs and eyes that shine with a emerald shimmer through the darkness. She had some dirt and grease on her face and she wear a apron that's made of rubber and had stuff in the pockets. It had stuff like a wrench and a broken glass bottle for weapon. "Twilight?" said apple wit recognition. "Yeah, it's me" she say. "Ok... wo is with you" "This is Bucky Cucking, he helped Rarity and Ranbow in the fight to try to defeat Sombra." Applejack eyes got wide. "Really?" "Yeah" "Ok" said the orange pony, "Follow me" > Chapter 6: Deep Within The Bunker > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Apple hold the light as the group crawled through the deep dark grime of the pits. It was dark and greasy and nasty like a sewer. Apples Jacks lantern shot through the gloom, a pin point of light in the darkness. So far away yet you know it is close. Finally tey saw it, a house in the night of underground. It appear over the horizon like a ghost in the night. Buck gasp and crank wen he saw it but Apple said SHHUSH. They creep thru the night and they see it. A Farm house. It was like the one used to be aboveground but was now under to keep it safe, safe from the creepies and the bombs and desolation. Every one was silent. "We must be quiet" said Applejack "Yes" They said. Twilight scraped her arms against the slime wall. Her whole left side o her bod was covered in a oozy texture. She smelled of rot now, not even her perfume from earlier could mask the musk. Bucky whiffed it in and try to guess were it were til Twilight brushed against him and smelled like a fungal spot. It was bad. Applejack walk up or trote up to the door, it was a big one and made of wood and painted like a color. She did her secret knock. Nobpdy answer so she pull out her key from hher apron pocket and open it up. "Open up, buttercup" she said it. Was it a secret password? Twiligt din't know. All 3 ponies and one bird man went inside. Apple flipped on the ligt swatch and light buzz and creked and it was light. Twilight said "Let there be light LOL" but Buckle smacked her in her head. "Ok" says Apples. "My husband Garlic Onions is must be sleeping so we must be quiet to not wake him up." "Wow AJ I dodn't know you got married." said Bucke. He corkle. "Yeah" said the orange one. The door open with magic... nobody were there behind. It open with a creak or a crack and Apple steppin side. "How did the door open up by its own, Apple?" Twilight asked "It's a curse.... My old friend and sister Fluttershy Hendricks put a curse on it to keep it save from harm..." Twilight had a tinkle in her eye. She wanted to meet Fluttershy and lear about curses. They step into the old bunker. There were at least 20 inddustrial selves with cans of meat that said "MEAT". In the corner there was a big area of juggs of water and a keg of bear. Next to the keg was a massive pony with the body of a graceful boddlenose whale He were tall and big and of a pale brown hue. He belch and stand up wobble "GARLIC ONIONS? Did you drink our bear?" Yelled Abblejack. Garlic Onions was an alcocholic like Twilight... and Twilight's fore fathers.... "No, my little apple snack, it was just a one Mug." Garlic said raspy. His voice was succulent like an old man of time. Twilight gazed her eyeballs up n down his aura. He had a large belly and buttox. He had one saggy eye and black gums and a tattoo of a wolverine on his arm. He wore jammies and shoes. He reaked of alcohol and meat. His main was a yellow tinge on white with grease streaks throughout. He used pommade to impress his mare but she was disappointed. Meanwhile Twilight look over at him and thought "If he cleaned up a bit he Would actually look not half bad..." Apple look cross like a man. She said "God darm it" at her husband. Twilight look at er with eyes wide of shock. and bucky said nothing. Meanwile Garlic grapes said "Don't worry swaty there's still a lots left." Apple look at the juggie and seen it to be true. She said sorry Corn ZMuffin "and kiss him lippies. "Who is these" said Gargy point at the \griffon and twilti with his beef hooves. Appl explain. "They are my allies from back in the war. They want to join our cause. They weere friends with derby and Rainbow before they ceased to be living." I shed a tear at the mere thought of it. Garlic Onions said "Wow" bcause he used to be a war soldier in the war and that's how him and Sapple Jack met. He said Hi to eac Twiligt and Bucky and shake their hands and said "I'm name is Garlic Onions." Twiligt said hi and bucky cuck too. Twilight vlushed a bright red like a smachk on a baby's bottom. Bucky looked over and his hart raced. He were jealous. Bucky would not let another man take Twilight. Not after what happne with Chickpea... Apple spit out a gunk on the floor (like snot) and said to her beloved "Where should we put em" Garlic looked around "uhhffghhhmmm Well you girls can go in the main bedroom. Bucky and I can take the couch. Bucky did not like the idea. He did not like sharing beds. Even when his ex wife was still alive she had to sleep on the couch because bucky couldnt sleep togetehr another man becaUSE of his anxious. "Sleepoevr" yelled Applejack. She and Twilight went to the room and prepped their beds. Twilight looked at the bed and cry. "I haven't sleeped in a bed since before the war times... The assymlum and the prison didnt have beds.... it just reminds me of the good times I sleeping with Spike in the bed and he held me dear..." Applejack remembered Spike and his relations with Twilight. "Those days are behind us, Curb Stomp, you have us now. I will protect you. I am the element of Honestly." They hugged tight, Twilight went limp as Apple rubbed her hairy back. In the main living room, Garlic turned on a fan loud setting so the girls couldnt hear them. Bucky took off his gear and sat down on the little sofa. "I'd like to get to know you Bucky. We're both war veterans." "Yeah I know" Bucky had a grunge against Garlic for catching Twilight;s eye. Garlic ran his hood across Bucky's face to feel him big scar. "That's one hell of a scar there. handsome" Bucky cringed... it still hurt... "You okay? Bucky?" "Yeah..." Garlic knew saliva helped. He got closer to Bucky's face... His eyes gleamed bright in the night of the bunker. Garlic pressed his tongue on Bucky lower lid and went down. Bucky shivered at the wet feeling. Bucky slide down his face and neck smoothly. Bucky held his breath but fumes of hot onion filled his nostrals. Garlic Onions was now on his shoulder blades. He went farther back on the scar til he reached the end of it on his back. Then Garlic grabbed Bucky wings and massaged them. Bucky felt weak and fall into the couch. He could fall asleep like this. Garlicc finished and pick BUck up and cradled him. Bucket rested on Garlic's large abdomen throught he night peaceful, forgetting his grunge against the large man...
