Fallout Equestria Inferno's First Flame Chapter 1 War Never Changes
A gentle breeze cooled down Inferno as he was enjoying a raspberry nuka cola outside his home admiring the landscape, watching ponies go about their daily business while children spent the day either in school or in the park. He took it all in until his wife Roseluck came in and kissed him on the cheek.
"How are you feeling?" asked Rose.
"It feels right to not be on duty for Tia, not that I'm complaining" said Inferno sipping his cola.
Roseluck smiled, placing another gentle kiss on his cheek before going back in the house.
An armored stallion could be seen walking down the street and stopped at the fence.
"Can I help?" asked Inferno raising an eyebrow.
"Yea you can, you know anypony with any nuka cola?" asked Armor Plate jokily.
"Jeez Armor this is the second one this week" said Inferno giving him a nuka cola.
Armor removed his helmet then drank his cola down in one gulp which made his friend stare in surprise and amazement.
"I keep forgetting you've seen me do this before" said Armor burping.
Inferno nodded.
"Inferno hunny you might want come see this" said Roseluck frantic.
Armor started noticing other ponies running towards something as an ear piercing siren blaring like crazy.
"I'll see you later bud" said Armor running.
Inferno entered the house from the back as Roseluck looked at the TV.
"They say that a nuclear explosion is going to hinder our way of life and all citizens are to evacuate immediately" said the news anchor.
Roseluck had a face of sheer terror and fear but had enough in her to run out the house along with Inferno as they arrive on a elevator like platform.
"Are we going to be ok?" asked Roseluck.
"We'll be fine I promise" reassured Inferno as the platform lowered underground then stopped.
Ponies breathed a sigh of relief as they walked to one of the wellness nurses to have themselves fitted with vault suits on. Inferno put his on along with Rose as they walked over to their room which had a twin bed, kitchen running on electrical power throughout the bunker and a fully functional TV.
"Well this isn't our home but it will have to do at least until they safe it's go back to the surface" reassured Inferno.
"Mhm, well I'll go get dinner ready" said Roseluck.
Inferno decided to walk around a bit so he can get a better understanding of his new surroundings. That's when he noticed a bunch of stallions pushing around a changeling mare when one slapped her hard across the face knocking her down. Another was about to stomp on her until Inferno elbowed him in the gut backing him up.
"Hey! You shouldn't hit a mare just because she's different from you pricks!" shouted Inferno.
The group of stallions snickered at her for having Inferno as a bodyguard.
With an angry death glare the stallions stopped laughing one by one until eventually they all ran away in fear.
"Hey you ok?" asked Inferno offering his hoof to help her.
"Yes thank you" she said taking his hoof and standing up.
"My name is Inferno" introduced Inferno.
"Sally" said Sally smiling.
"Sorry you had to bail me out from those pricks" apologized Sally.
"No problem trust me, I had to deal with assholes like them who can't see past their own judgement but I am glad your ok Sally" said Inferno.
"Thank you" said Sally blushing a little.
Inferno gave her a salute before walking away.
"My goodness he is such a nice stallion" complemented Sally going back to her room.
Roseluck made themselves a dinner while watching a good movie.
"I saw well heard what you did and I am so proud of you" said Rose.
"Hey if I didn't she wouldn't have lasted long" replied Inferno.
Roseluck nodded.
After dinner Inferno climbed into bed on the top bunk while Roseluck took the bottom and both drifted to sleep.
Hours went by when a single gunshot forced Inferno's eyes to pop open as he got out of bed, grabbed his 44 magnum revolver pistol and opened the front door while looking around for anything.
He walked slowly until Inferno was hit in the back of the head with a metal pipe knocking him out cold. All he could hear was Roseluck screaming then complete silence before a bunch of hoovesteps left not before Armor came in and knocked them all before killing them with his double barrel shotgun.
"Inferno buddy wake up" said Armor shaking his friend trying to wake him up.
Inferno had a hazy feeling then when he came too, the first pony he saw was his friend Armor Plate who was looking down at him.
"What happened?" asked Inferno rubbing the back of his head.
"Well you want the long or short version?" asked Armor.
"Short" answered Inferno.
Armor explained how he got here by tunneling a way inside using the sewer system, the now killed group of stallions the very same who pushed around Sally earlier and the fact Roseluck was now dead.
Hearing that ran Inferno's blood run cold as ice with tears streaming down his face as he felt guilty for not being there to protect Roseluck but now she was in a better place now.
Sally came out in her pony form rubbing her eye seeing Inferno on the ground crying.
"Whoa what happened?" asked Sally concerned.
"His wife is gone...forever" said Armor.
Sally's heart dropped when she heard that and comforted Inferno with a hug which he accepted. After a few mins of crying, he packed his things in a saddlebag then walked out of the room shutting the door.
"You sure you want to head up the surface?" asked Sally.
"Beats staying here" replied Armor.
"Then it's settled; we leave now for the surface" said Inferno walking over to a platform.
Sally and Armor hopped on as well and the elevator went up with the intercom saying:
Enjoy your time on the surface and thank you for using Equestria Tech
The morning sun blinded the three ponies as they saw piles among piles of pony skeletons around them and possibly all over Ponyville.
"Wow how long were we down there?" asked Sally memorized by what she was seeing.
"300 years or less" said Inferno.
"Damn I didn't know we were down there that long" said Armor.
Inferno started to walking down the hill examining a deadbody laying back with a shotgun still in his hooves so Inferno took it slowly not to startle him even though he was dead. Armor scanned the surrounding area for any potential trouble and a red flash warning sign appeared on his screen.
"Uh oh" said Armor.
"What's wrong?" asked Inferno reloading the shotgun.
Sally tapped his shoulder then pointed to an all black alicorn mare standing in front of them. Her blood red shined in the sun as she flashed a sinister smirk at all three of them. Inferno stepped forward and cocked his shotgun before pointing at her.
"Speak or your joining the skeletons" said Inferno.
"I am know as Slyvia daughter of Nightmare Moon" said Slyvia.
Armor activated his weapons systems mainly rockets and fired at her repeatedly. When the dust cleared she had her shield up stunning Armor as if nothing could stop her.
Inferno's horn glowed brightly as a magical blast blazed past Slyvia distracting her from Sally biting her leg causing her to howl in pain and tried to shake her off. Armor tackled the alicorn to the ground pinning her making sure she doesn't move.
"Stay down" commanded Armor.
Slyvia smirked then disappeared.
"Damn it!" said Inferno smacking the ground with his hoof.
"Well that was interesting" said Armor.
They all nodded in agreement.
