I did not write this chapter. This chapter is writen by RuinQueenofOblivion. This chapter is based on his upcomming Fallout Equestria story: Fallout Equestria: Dark Secrets which is a sequel to all of his other Fallout Equestria stories. The stories were based of the original Fallout Equestria story by Kkat. Nebula is owned by RuinQueenofOblivion. The Goddess and Red Eye is made by Kkat. It's unsure if this is canon to the RuinQueenofOblivion's Fallout Equestria universe, she's still deciding. Anyways enjoy!

AppleSeed, Phil, and Sax land on the hard ground, finding themselves looking up at a massive cloud filled sky that covered the world for as far as they could see. When they got up they were shocked at what they saw, around them was a barren wasteland devoid of grass and only some trees that looked like they had been dead for a very long time.

"Where the hay are we?" AppleSeed asked as they looked around perplexed at this strange new world before Cindy appeared on the watch.

"Sorry, I had to pull up a lot of data on this world to figure out exactly where and when you showed up," Cindy said with a frown, it looked like whatever she found had distressed her. "Brace yourselves, this one's a bit of a doozy."

"I don't like the sound of that..." Phil said.

"In this universe, Equestria went to war with the Zebras as a result of a depletion of coal in the Zebra Empire," Cindy continued. "I've got a lot of data here and not to mention a lot of alternate universes, this thing is massive I'm telling you, but I'll give you the cliffs notes version of it. Eventually this resulted in powerful magic called Megaspells being detonated which poisoned the land with necromantic magic. The land is practically saturated with it, but that's not your main focus here."

"Then what is?" Sax asked. "Are we supposed to, save the world or something?"

"No, but from what I understand a pony recently left something called Stable 13 as part of some, experiment carried out by Twilight Sparkle and a company called Stable-Tec," Cindy continued. "She's a very powerful Unicorn mare who's actions are going to prepare Equestria for some events that will occur in about 14 years. To make matters worse... she's currently en-route to a place called Maripony, which is home to a very powerful and very dangerous magic user called the Goddess."

"And if Tringer got his hooves on either one, he'd steal a lot of magic," AppleSeed finished with a worried look. "This, could be a problem."

"Why does this feel like we're in some sort of game or something?" Phil commented with a groan.

"What's the name of the pony we're looking for?" Sax asked.

"Nebula Sparkle," Cindy answers simply. "Twilight's great-great... uh, the rest of the greats seem to be cut off for some reason... granddaughter. According to these records, she's at the moment traveling with some sort of cyberpony named Red Eye. Keep an eye out for him, he's got a mark by his name, I'm not sure he can be trusted. That's all I can tell you right now, they should be in a nearby cave system right now, just stay safe alright?"

"Great... just great..." Phil said as Cindy vanished.

Nebula Sparkle's POV.

Just what we needed, we had just barely escaped a Hellhound ambush when some pony approached us with this, thing that I hadn't ever seen before.

"Stop right there," I said, levitating my rifle up and pointing it at the pony, Red Eye was still recovering from the Hellhound attack so this was the last thing we needed right now. "Who are you?"

"Nebula Sparkle right?" The strange pony asked as he looked at me with what I'm sure was supposed to be a reassuring smile. "Don't worry, I'm here to help, my name is Tringer."

I looked at him hard for a long moment, not lowering my rifle just yet. This guy seemed, off to me for some reason. I looked at the device he was holding for a long moment and back at him.

"What's that thing?" I asked.

"Oh this? Its a special little device I created, it lets me remove magical radiation," he said as he held it up, this elected a snort from Red Eye behind me. "Do you find something funny, cyberpony?"

"I find you incredibly funny," Red Eye said through the pain of his injuries as he moved next to me, his cybernetic eye was still damaged. "You must think we're idiots if you really think we believe you."

"But I am speaking the truth," Tringer said with another smile. "Magic has done so much damage to Equestria, if I can use it to better the world... no, all worlds, then isn't that for the best?"

"It'll never work," I said and looked at Red Eye who nodded, I started to pull the trigger before all of a sudden Tringer lost all pretense and knocked the rifle away, I was too tired to try and fight back as he fumbled with the device. "What are you going to do?"

"Like I said, I'm going to save the multiverse," he said and pointed the device at me, I closed my eyes and turned away, expecting to die from, whatever he was about to do, but I felt nothing.

When I opened my eyes again, the device was sparking and it looked broken. Tringer cursed and hit against it with his hoof.

"Your little toy... not working?" Red Eye asked with a laugh. "Radiation can't be... absorbed without consequences to the technology used unless its built for it. That thing... is useless now."

He looked like he was about to say something when there was the sound of ponies talking from the entrance to the cave.

"Are you sure this is the right cave?"

"Hey, its the only cave nearby, what else would it be?"

"Maybe you two should try and be quiet, we don't know what's in there."

"Great, I was hoping they'd take longer to find me," Tringer said as he checked something on his leg before running off deeper into the cave just as three ponies came into view.

Third Person POV.

Phil honestly had no idea what to make of what he saw in the cave. There were two ponies sure, one of them was a darker shade of blue with a light blue mane with streaks of blue and purple who was wearing an armored Jumpsuit with the number 13 on the collar. The other was a red stallion with a black mane and tail, but that's not what drew your eye.

His right eye was made up of some sort of metal, it looked like it normally had some sort of attachment to it, but instead whatever it was looked like it had been ripped out, leaving wires visible and he was dressed in a cape made out of the same fabric as the mare's jumpsuit, with 101 on it.

They were both wearing some sort of, strange devices on their forelegs.

"I'm guessing that's the cyberpony Cindy mentioned," Sax whispered as AppleSeed tried not to stare at the cyberpony.

"And who are you three?" The mare asked looking at them closely.

"Uh, I'm Phil, this is Sax and AppleSeed," Phil said. "We're chasing after a pony that calls himself Tringer, have you seen him?"

"You just missed him, he tried to use some device on Nebula but it broke because of the radiation," the cyberpony said. "He ran off deeper into the cave system, but he's as good as dead with the Hellhounds in there. Are you going to keep staring at me like that?"

"Uh, because of your eye," AppleSeed said with a shake of her head. "Sorry, I haven't seen a pony like you before."

He just rolled his intact eye before going to work on repairing his cybernetics.

"So, why are you chasing after him?" Nebula asked as she picked up her rifle. "I'm guessing its related to his behavior."

"He's trying to steal magic from all universes within the multiverse," Sax answered. "We chased him here and, well, we had hoped to stop him before he got to you or Maripony."

"Great, just what we needed, another complication," Red Eye said with a groan. "What's next, are we going to have to go to Canterlot and survive the Pink Cloud?"

"Pink Cloud?" Phil asked as the three looked confused.

"Long story," Nebula said with a sigh, she was really only now becoming aware of everything herself. "I'm from Stable 13, my ancestor Twilight Sparkle, she set out a mission for one of her descendants to set out from the Stable and access certain, things around Equestria at her facilities. We're heading to Maripony now to do that, though between the Hellhounds and Alicorns we... what?"

"Uh, what's this about Alicorns?" Sax asked.

Nebula facehooved, this was going to be a long night.

"Plus if he's going to want to repair that thing he has, Maripony is the nearest place to do it," Red Eye commented. "Its going to be very dangerous, are you three up for it?"

"We are," Phil said with a nod.

"Fine, we leave in the morning, but we sleep in shifts, I don't want to be jumped in the middle of the night," Nebula said as she laid out her bedding.

Nebula Sparkle's POV.

"Hey everypony out there, this is your friend DJ Pon3 with the latest news," the DJ's voice said into my earbuds as we neared Maripony. "We've got reports of Talons high tailing it out of the settlement at Blacklight near Splendid Valley, seems something there scared them half to death. I don't mind telling you that whatever scares those Griffons is enough to make me want to stay far away from Blacklight. That being said, it seems our friend the Stable Dweller has no qualms about it because she was last seen in that area, lets hope she doesn't get herself killed out there."

"We're here," Red Eye commented as we reached the above ground entrance to Maripony, what was left of the facility at least.

"What happened here?" AppleSeed asked looking at the ruins.

"One of the Megaspells went off in there," I commented. "Splendid Valley was one of the early targets in the war. I'm surprised we didn't see any Alicorns on the way."

I had explained this morning that Alicorns were ponies created by a potion of some sort, the rumor was that it had been developed by Twilight Sparkle during the war but nopony was really sure. And yes, they looked exactly like Celestia or Luna, it made things a bit surreal.

"They were probably not expecting us," Sax commented as we started to move underground into Maripony. Me and Red Eye had our weapons at the ready, but our companions didn't seem to be armed.

As we started to move through the facility, we came across our first Alicorn. She was a shade of dark blue with a flowing mane that didn't seem to pay us any attention, at least not yet.

"I just had a thought," Phil said. "What if they make Tringer into one of these things?"

That made us all stop, we hadn't thought of that. "Well, that definitely would be bad," I commented. "If he does have access to alternate universes, then they might be able to spread beyond this one. That definitely would be bad."

With that we heard the sound of a gunfight coming from up ahead. We exchanged glances and started running towards the sound.

Indeed, there was Tringer fighting against 4 Alicorns, he must've found a gun because he was firing at them, but they were just waiting for his bullets to run out as they bounced off their shields.

"Any suggestions now?" Red Eye whispered to us.

"We need to draw them away," I commented and looked between them. "Anypony want to volunteer to do that?"

There was a long pause, I doubted our new companions would volunteer, they had a job to do after all, I respected that. I was about to volunteer when Red Eye finally nodded and got to his hooves.

"Take care of yourself Nebula," he said and galloped up behind the Alicorns, shouting at them rather insulting statements about their mothers. They blinked a moment before chasing after him, leaving us in hiding.

"Well, that worked..." AppleSeed commented as we moved closer to the door. "Give it up Tringer, we have you now!"

"Its not over yet, I've got exactly what I want from this world," Tringer shouted back. "Better luck next time."

And with that we saw him vanish after hitting a button on his watch I guess. Phil stomped his hoof angrily and we all went inside the room, yeah he was gone.

"What now?" I asked.

"We don't really have a choice, we have to follow him," AppleSeed said and offered me a hoof. "It was good working with you, Nebula."

"You too," I said with a smile and shook the Earth Pony's hoof, nodding to the other two. "Get him good for me and Red Eye, okay?"

"We will," Sax said with a grin as they turned on their own watches and a figure of another pony appeared. "Cindy, we're ready to go."

"Alright, locking onto you now to send you to the next universe," the pony said and they all vanished.

That's when I heard another voice, one all around me, it spoke with the voice of a thousand horrors, but it was still vaguely feminine. "Well... that was certainly interesting, a shame I could've used the technology they had, but I will settle for the concession prize, Nebula."

I looked out and beheld a horror beyond which I had never seen before. A monstrous mixture of four ponies that stared at me with cold, soulless eyes, it was more terrifying than anything I had seen before.

I knew I was facing the leader of the Alicorns.
