Fallout Equestria Inferno's First Flame Chapter 4 Rocky Bridge
Sally munched on the dead corpse of Chrysalis while her friends watched in horror as now they know this changeling wasn't as innocent as they originally thought. After what seemed like hours before Sally stopped to take a breath then looking up at the two horrified stallions staring back at her.
"Sorry guys am I scaring you?" Sally apologized covering her mouth.
"No it's ok Sally, it's just that me and Inferno have never seen you like this before" Armor retorted putting a gentle pat on the back then wiping her mouth clean of blood.
The buzzing sound from earlier got louder making Inferno's ear twitch as he cocked his gun awaiting for any changeling brave enough to face him.
"Inferno I think we need to go" Armor insisted.
A horde of changelings came out of nowhere swarming around them quickly. Inferno fired a few warning shots to make them spread out, giving his team a chance and Armor ran to the exit with Sally making it outside but Inferno was still in there.
"Wait! We have to get Inferno! He's still in the feeding ground!" Sally shouted.
Looking back, Armor trotted back inside killing changelings as they come. He looked around quickly to find his friend.
Come on Inferno where in Luna's name are you Armor said to himself angrily.
A string of shotgun shells tapped on the floor leaving a trail for Armor to follow and where it lead was a mountain of dead changelings. Inferno stood on top of the pile with his shotgun in his holster.
"Huh, I guess we don't have to worry about you" Armor said looking wide eyed.
"You ready to go?" Inferno asked walking down the pile.
Armor nodded and walked outside to meet Sally who embraced the flaming stallion tightly with tears streaming down her face.
"Don't make me worry again! I thought something happened to you in there!" Sally cried on his shoulder.
Inferno wanted to protest but chose not to and welcomed the hug.
"Well let's not waste any more time" Armor said.
Inferno nodded and proceeded to walk with them towards the bridge.
Slyvia flew down to see a managed mess of what's left of Chrysalis. The smell was unbearable making the dark blue alicorn back up in order to escape the smell.
"My goodness what a putrid smell! But on the other hoof this is quite a chance to test out my new nightmare spell. No hard feelings Chrysalis but your power is going to be mind" Slyvia stroked the changeling's head almost sounding apologetic.
Her horn glowed a dark hue and Chrysalis' power left while giving Slyvia a power boost. When it was all said and done, she felt more powerful as she opened her eyes. The color of the iris was dark purple with a jet black hue behind it making her start laughing evilly.
"Those ponies are going to reach their end" Slyvia proclaimed disappearing.
Unknown to her was a hooded figure walking over to Chrysalis' dead mangled body and stared at it.
"You are now relieved of your pain changeling queen. No pony will hurt you" The hooded figure said removing his hood.
Three changelings surrounded him inching closer as he pulled out a scythe and chopped all three of them in half splitting them before putting the scythe away. He put his hood back on then proceeded to leave out the feeding ground.
"All who defy the laws of nature will be punished" the figure proclaimed looking at a photo of Inferno with Roseluck.
"I will find you and kill you for what you've done to this perfect world"
It seemed like hours since Inferno walked up to the bridge, a rickety wooden bridge and down below was a gorge making Sally dizzy.
"You ok?" Inferno asked concerned.
Sally didn't budge as she kept looking down before turning blue in the face passing out in Armor's arms.
"Oh dear Luna" Armor said catching her before she fell.
"I think she has a fear of crossing bridges" Inferno stated.
Armor nodded in agreement.
Inferno and Armor waited until their friend woke up from her sudden passing out because of fear that she doesn't like crossing bridges. Sally woke up to see both stallions staring back at her smiling.
"Sorry guys I didn't mean to pass out in front of you. I just don't like-" Sally was stopped by Inferno who raised his hoof.
"It's ok Sally we all have our fears but you have to learn to face them" Inferno motivated Sally to face her fear in order to become stronger.
Sally nodded with a smile before getting up on all fours ready to cross the bridge even though there was a high chance of death. Armor trotted up first to test the strength of the bridge by adding his own weight to it. When he did this, the plank creaked a bit but was sturdy enough to cross.
"Ok this is sturdy but I think it would be best if we get on it one at a time" Armor exclaimed, hoping that it will be an easy trip.
Inferno and Sally shook their heads in agreement.
Armor walked first and did it with no problem even though he was wearing a suit of armor that weighed a full ton, next up Inferno crossed the bridge as well but now Sally was going to attempt walking across the bridge.
"You can do it Sally! We have faith in you!" Armor shouted from the other side.
Sally gulped in fear looking down and started to feel light headed from the gorge down below. Even though this bridge wasn't that high above the ground Sally could tell this isn't going to be easy.
It's ok, it's ok just think about happy thoughts and flying Sally said this in her mind so she can cross successfully without looking what's below her.
As she almost across the bridge Slyvia appeared as a shadow entity; Inferno's eyes grew big as the queen of nightmares readied a blast of dark magic.
"Sally watch out!" Inferno screamed, running onto the bridge taking the blast instead of Sally.
"INFERNO!" Armor yelled firing shots at Slyvia before she disappeared.
Sally carried him the rest of the way across on her back and onto the hard ground with a burn mark etched on his upper body but not close to his heart; almost gave his friends a heart attack.
"We'd better get him to a safe area" Armor announced picking up then putting Inferno on his back.
Sally followed close behind but stopped to look behind her as if somepony was following them. She shook it off and kept walking beside Armor.
The hooded pony stared out of the bushed watching them walk away.
At a campsite Armor set the flaming stallion down then took off his helmet to assess the problem.
"Should we bandage him up?" Sally asked.
"Yea hand me those bandages please" Armor commanded.
Sally went into the tent and grabbed some bandages then handed them to Armor.
"Thank you" Armor thanked Sally, wrapping up the wound so Inferno wouldn't bleed out.
Inferno laid back on the ground still passed out from the sudden shock.
"Now what?" Sally asked worried about Inferno's well being.
"For now all we can do is wait and hope that this stallion wakes up. In a way Inferno is as tough as nails so he'll pull through I promise" Armor promised smiling at Sally.
"Ok I'll keep an eye on him" Sally confirmed.
Armor put his helmet back on smiling.
Sally looked after Inferno all night for fear that his sudden shock would be the end of his life. A flash of Inferno sacrificing himself to save her wouldn't leave Sally's mind which made her tear up a bit.
Don't you ever do anything that reckless when you wake up Sally threatened to Inferno in her mind.
Nightfall persisted as Sally held him close all night long.
