Fallout Equestria: The Crystal's Howling Dance.
Chapter 14: Chapter 13: Death or victory
Previous Chapter Next Chapter"Death or Victory? What would be the time to know?"
The past how does one know the past? The past was said to be peaceful full of love full of happiness. But then why did this war start? Was the world so full of happiness that death was needed to come next? It's something that many have been asking since the war itself. What could it be that wished to cause it? Look through the ruins of every house building and store. Most would see that..peace was wanted in this time... But peace would never come. It was mostly either death or victory... But a victory was never going to happen that easy it seems. Victory was a story and will be another time. With time war may happen again down the line. But this war that happens could be stopped before a magic bomb of death is thrown everywhere. The idea of war seems to be in the minds of many in this new world. Victory on the minds of many and death on those that wish to have peace. But most of the time they will never see it.

Day 35 POW Camp
I closed my eyes knowing I had no time to move away from the blast of Silver Gunner's. I heard the shot and I didn't feel anything..but I heard some rocks getting blasted. Opening my eyes quickly and looking around seeing the Enclave bodies around and gasping. Seeing Sand holding a large shield of rocks and laying on the ground smoking but still alive. Silver Gunner fired at the rest of the army and they all hid behind area's they could get. I had no idea what to do....then Kip came to my mind.
"Silver.....Kip... is dying you wanted her to make a family. You can fight this new programming." Silver looked at me as he aimed his guns at me. I grabbed my hammer tightly. "Don't make me do this to you." Silver Gunner wasn't himself I blinked as I started floating with the magic aura of Fleur's around my body. As she started pulling me away as he fired missing hitting the wall. Looking to Fleur. "Toss me to him..." She blinked and nodded while Cannon Ball and Dumbbell fired to get Silver Gunner to focus on them.
She lifted me up she was having big issues from overusing her magic like this. But she tossed me and let me go. He turned to look at me and fired hitting my left leg. As the skin and bone charred versus the pain, I smashed my hammer hard into his head. Then hit the ground and rolled right the cave and hit the side of it. As I heard crying and sobbing. But I was in a lot of pain. Opening my eyes from the pain. Looking to my shattered hammer and looking up to see those red eyes staring at me. Aiming his guns down at me.
"Die..." He was about to fire and I put my hand on his head. "Silver..... Kip is probably dead... It would be all your fault." Silver gunner's weapons charged and he looked up firing at an Enclave soldier that was coming to finish the job on me. He then looked at me again. "Tiria?" He looked up seeing Fleur and looked around seeing the Enclave bodies of the dead and some of the army that lead in here. He then started to look through his memory and started to remember everything of his past. Just from that smash in his head.
"Tiria.... stay awake... wait Tiria?!" I was passed out from the pain.
______________
The Ghoul.
I woke up laying on the ground of an empty white space. Slowly standing looking around and the Ghoul looked at me and smiled. "I remember telling you... that we wouldn't meet again. But it seems having your leg blasted off changed that. Tiria.... I need to tell you something before... I vanish from your mind before... we meet again fully. Your journey is going to lead you to your death. Nothing can stop it. But you won't remember I even told you this. I won't tell you how you die either.."
I groaned and held my leg. The pain was crazy. The ghoul vanished from my sight and I just felt so much pain I couldn't even try to understand it.
____________________
Day 36: Pow camp
I opened my eyes to a bunch of the wounded and I heard the voice of Crossfire and Silver gunner speaking over me. Seeing that we had some of they firing into the cave to try to break through the defences of the Enclave. I tried sitting up as I felt a needle go into my body and a rush of strangeness went through my body. As I opened my eyes fully seeing my left leg. It's strapped to part of an enclave armour hoof. I just stared at it and Crossfire and Silver Gunner looked at me. As I got off the cot a bit dizzy but... it wasn't going to stop me. I stood on my new leg, it felt painful at first..But I was going to get used to it. As a new weapon as floated to me. Fleur smiled and a grabbed it. It was a large metal stick. On the end of it was one of the Enclave armour tails. The hilt was made from the rest of the tail. But the grabbing end was taken from another metal hoof.
I stared at them and sighed. "Send in the ghouls and we will rescue my friends." Crow landed on my shoulder. Looking up to him with a weak smirk.
"The Buffalo are waiting at the back. They're removing the rocks and now." I nodded and walked on the new leg and my good leg looking over to Crow. "Tell them to get ready. I will have Silver lead the charge."
"Let's... go save them." Silver Gunner nodded and looked into the cave. Walking towards it as lasers came out from the cave hitting him... But he didn't stop. Thanks to the armour they gave him and the upgrades. His eyes glowed calmly and lifted a large few guns from the many arms in his back. Large Lazer's and one hand the held the Shotgun. He begins to speak... in the robotic voice.
"Ponies, Rat Creeper's, Vulf'ven and many other species. We have had enough of the Enclave they have almost killed our friends I am rushing in to save my friends. I am rushing into free everyone. We need to prove that we can fight them off... So the rest of Equestria will follow the path of Lightbringer. The light Bringer shall be our path to removing this threat from getting our friends back." He gives Fleur a simple nod and her horn glowed and the ghouls rushed in... There was a lot of firing but a lot of screaming as well. As the Enclave was trying to fight back. Then the robot pony rushed in with the rest. I was behind. As we went inside and saw the city but the arena area all destroyed and we saw the cells. They were in the arena. I sighed and the rest went ahead of me. hearing the Buffalo break through the back. With the Hell hound. As they ripped through most of the Enclave. But the Enclave had the high ground..it was going to take awhile to fight... This fight is going to be hard...
The Hellhound ran to me and he spoke. "What do you wish me to do my friend?" I started to think a moment and the lead him through the battle to the Dj's room and sitting him down. "Become the voice... for the ponies still lost in here. Play a song for them. This is different music than what other's have. Play this song." She brings out a recorded song... Called the Song of the Slaves. The hellhound nods and turns everything on and for a moment outside the battle stops. To listen. Then he speaks.
"HEY!!!! this is the new Bowser wowser!!! OW!! Now... every one of our fine city... The enclave needs to be pushed out and we shall play this song for you!!"
He turns it on and the song plays. "Oh.... free us.... Goddesses bring... peace to us." As the song plays the army fights off the Enclave the Enclave fights them off themselves. As the Buffalo uses the weapons that the ponies gave them. As they do their best to push them away.
______________________
Rat Creepers and their Leader.
As the song plays the Rat Creeper's fought amazingly with their leader Cannon Ball. They found a lot of children and some mare's left alive. They protected them as they brought in a medic to try to figure out what's wrong with them. Before funnelling them outside. Cannon kept screaming orders to keep the survivors of that battle to get out and one of his bodyguards saw a sniper aiming for him and Pot head got in the way and her head exploded and gore went everywhere... The Rat Creeper's watched one of their heros that has been by the side of Cannon Ball since he was just a normal Rat Creeper like them without the King. He stare's at the Enclave snipers and yells. "BURN!!"
A few groups come out of the back and fire large burning rockets at them and there is now screaming and pain. As they look to the body as around them the battle goes on and They all kneel down to honour Pot head and then afterwards... Stand up and go back on the search for more ponies that got left behind. Leaving behind the body of Pot head putting her half Destroyed pot on her chest leaving the headless creeper to be buried later.

Raider's and Dumbbell
Being raider's of course they did everything they could... Even if many of them fell to use melee weapons to rip the Enclave apart when most got close the raiders did everything they could to just rip all of them apart and their eyes were full of hate for all The enclave Dumbbells job was to try to repair the turrets. He had a mask on and they were fighting to the old building that held the warden's office that was somehow still standing after this battle. He rushed in the Enclave seemed to stay out of it. He was worried that the one's he lead will not be alive after he was done with this. They stood guard by the door as the battle raged on. He rushed through the area finding the old terminals trying to fix the damaged turrets and it seems it came up as needed repair's in the core. But he doesn't have a pip-buck. So he doesn't know that there is a lot of Toxic rads inside this place... From most of the weapons that are stored here.
He went to the core and his body started to get ripped inside out from the rads. He removed the mask to drink a potion and ran away. He worked on the terminal to get it to work. As it started to do so. But the core started pulsing over and over. As it caused a bright light and Dumbbell rushed out of the room and then fell of all his hooves and tried to crawl back and he was blacking out with a strange bird-like creature coming to his aid. Dragging him out of the building leaving him near his raider's. Who are either dead or dying. With the nurse Rat, Creeper's working on healing their wounds.
___________________
Silver Gunner
While the Turrets started powering up slowly. It would take time for them to fully get ready. Silver on the other hoof was pushing through the Enclave slowly with his new changeling and weapons they gave him. Soon he finally found the ShotGun Remeberence on the top of it as he stares at it and gets hit by a blast from one of the Enclave his chest smoking and staring at them. He was trying to break through to let Crossfire and the others save the caged ones in the arena. The music kept playing. Of the song of the slaver. "Our... heart's are chains... Oh please free us... For we shall never end this song... Then we will get a thorn in our hearts. Our hearts are broken... Oh please, Goddess save us."
Silver Gunner did what he could to push through many many soldiers. He had no idea they had this many in here. He would rush into a burning building and there are ponies using the burning part of the building to warm themselves up and cooking their food. "Get out... I will protect you." The wounded broken ponies look up nodding. They fought not too long ago... and he rushed back out protecting them as he doesn't kill any of the Enclave just seems to knock them out of the air for the moment. But gives the ponies a chance to escape. It seems no matter how many fought... The ponies that lived here found so many places to hide. He looked back seeing their all rushing to the army that is slowly falling. He had to wait for the Turrets to start up so they could help clear the area. A large stomp comes behind him... Turning to see a reprogrammed R.A Proto. With new Armor and weapons. Staring down at him ready to attack. The two robots get ready to Duke it out.
____________________
Crow
The changeling was searching for more ponies to save. He could smell many that seemed to have been killed and found a building with the nurse and a centre for all the wounded here. The nurse lifted her gun with her magic. Looking at Crow as he changed to his true form and looked at her. "Listen..." Looks to Bulwark who is on one of the beds wrapped in bandages and seeming to be resting. "We will save you. We..." Suddenly an Enclave soldier rushed in and aimed for the nurse. Crow used his magic and started to literally suck the love out of the Enclave. They fell to the ground dead drained. "I will stay... and protect you. But... we are freeing you all."
The nurse nodded. "But... how did you stay away from the Enclave? They would normally kill you."
The nurse sighed. "We know every building and how to get to them. They never searched over here on the east side of the city. I brought as Many of the wounded as I could." Looks to Tiny the Griffin who was thought to be dead.
"Alright... Tiria came back with an army... It's slowly breaking through but also losing many... if I pull some of the wounded here... Could you help them?"
The nurse nodded.
Crow turns back into the Raven and flys back out.
________________________
The Buffalo
Little Strong Hoof with the other Buffalo rushed through the guarding post to get to the Arena to fight the commander of this army. What is interesting though the Buffalo seem to stay and let Little Strong Hoof do the fighting. As they fight the other troops to keep them from harming her. As she rushes to open the way in to let Crossfire and his troops rush in to find his wife. Strong Hoof rushes into one of the rooms to try to find the door to open it and when she rushes into one of the rooms. She turns to see Wheel tread in his wheelchair. Holding the Howling dance on his lap. His four hooves on the chair. He speaks softly.
"Little one... I know why you are here... Please give these words to Tiria... Please tell her... to never give this Crystal back to her own species... They will use it to try to control their own species. Now..... I think I know why..." Suddenly she turns seeing an Enclave firing at her and she jumps out of the way as the bolt hits Wheel tread and he turns into dust. The Howling Dance is all that is left along with the dust. The small Buffalo turns staring at the Enclave soldier as she grabs the hammer from her side and rushes to attack.
On the outside the rest of the Buffalo have broken fully through most of the Enclave they trample over are either wounded or dead. They stand there guarding the gate as the war is just starting. An Enclave soldier seems to be moving and then secretly calling for Reinforcements. But they sound like their stretched way to thin right now.
______________
Fleur and crew
Fleur had both her gun and her sword in her magic... As her and her crew rushed through to get to the arena as well. The battle was getting very deadly. She was very determined to find Little Hoof. But as they rushed through a robot battle was going on rushing through the area. Silver Gunner and R.A Proto just rushed through the area of battle doing their fight. The pony robot was slow..But able to fight the large robot rushing after him. Fleur blinked looking surprised on her decaying face and looks to the Griffin Ghoul. "Feather... fly into the air and use your sniper. We need to make sure we can protect all the ponies heading outside. Make sure No ponies get hurt." Feather nods and she flew up into the air grabbing her large sniper from her back and fires on the Enclave it seems most of her bullets just bounce off... But it's keeping them at bay till the turrets get ready.
Fleur looked to the others of her crew and smiled. "Let's do it for Equestria to honour all those that died 200 years ago." The Crew cheers and most of the crew are ponies and a few are Zebras. They stand guard and help the ponies that rush outside to get away from the battle. Her crew nods... While the song keeps playing to emboldened the fighters. She watched as the army pushed back the Enclave and seemed to be winning. But still, the turrets were warming up.
________________
CrossFire
CrossFire and the rest of the Misty Moon Apartment ponies ignored the battle going on. Trotting past the enclave fighting the army. The only time they stopped was to see Silver Gunner and R.A Proto doing a large battle of a small robot pony versus semi giant robot. Silver had the upper hoof because he was smaller. But he it would take awhile to whittle down the armour of the other. But they keep going on with their mini fight of metal and roboticness. The way into the arena finally was slowly opening and in the middle of the Arena was over ten cages full of ponies a Teal mare is what he wanted to save... But she wasn't there not even Shadow... Or Little Hoof. But he looked up seeing an Enclave pony in commander armour. She had the three chained and she took off the helm with a smile.
"Looking for these three? I figured... this fake war... Would be to get these ponies free." Kip looked very skinny and weak she gave Cross a weak smile. She spoke weakly. "I am not... worth it... I am not." Kip would weakly say. Crosses eyes were full of anger he wanted to save his wife. But he didn't know how to do it with the three held by her and he then noticed four troops on either side ready to fire.
"Surrender.... I will let these three live... let the Enclave keep this as a base... a hoof-hold in the wasteland to cleanse it... of you tribal children. So drop your weapons and they will go freely." While they were speaking Kip's horn calmly glowed trying to take the key's. "If I surrender will you let them go?"
The mare smiled and nodded. "I give you my word." Cross and his ponies set down their weapons. "Good stallion." Then Suddenly she would stab her scorpion stinger from the armour into Kips back and her eyes go wide. As Shadow looks up with much anger in his eyes. But all that was seen was the surprised angry look on Cross' face. As she watched his Wife smiled weakly in pain and then the stinger pulled out of her back and then she dropped from the stands to the ground... With a thud. Blood pooling from her body. Then Cross Yelled out. "KIP!!!!!!"
It was loud enough that the entire battle halted for a time... All looked at the Arena even the Enclave some looking with horror some looking with Giddy. But The one they would have to worry about they would hear a howl echoing through the city. A howl of anger a lot of anger.
__________________
The music played around me while I watched the battle go on and then. I looked to see that they had Camra's to look around the city. Old one's but I looked through seeing the Arena and seeing Kip, Shadow and Little Hoof. I was looked through more of the Camara's seeing Pot head get her head blown off sighing knowing there would be death. Watching the Creeper's protect many ponies. Watching the Buffalo break their way through to the Arena to keep the way in protected. Changing to seeing Wheel tread trying to speak to Little Strong hoof and then getting killed. Then seeing The little buffalo killing the Enclave soldier with her hammer and opening the gate. Watching Dumbbell and his men get slaughtered but seeing he did his job and watching him now slowly die from Rad poison. But some seem to be alive trying to keep him alive. Seeing Fleur and her crew doing an amazing job and then going back to the Arena.
I watched the exchange between the Commander and Crossfire. Watched them lower their weapons and then watched as the tail stabbing into Kip's back and falling to the ground from the stands with a thud... My eyes went wide... My anger grew and I grabbed the table near me... With a punch, it shattered a bit... I then howled full of anger.
I walked out of the Dj booth the Enclave backing up as I came up the battle stopping even between the two robots. I stood there in the middle of them all. The only group that refused to stop fighting was Fleur and her crew... Her sniper kept blowing the heads off Enclave soldiers that aimed at me. I spoke. "Ponies..." It Echoed. "Griffin's." Kept echoing. "Minotaur's... All the other races... sent back... 200 years because... Of ponies of the past... My kind created... because of your war between Zebra's and ponies. You swear you want to bring peace... back to the Equestria... But all I see is you want to control it... Look at the Lightbringer... She is trying to protect it from... FOOLS LIKE YOU!! Same with Security. I am nothing like those two... They are bigger players. I never wished to be a hero... But fate turned me into one. I used to hate ponies... I used to hate them... For what they did to this land."
I walked closer putting my paw hand on a Buffalo's head patting it calmly as the back of my neck was bristled and the fur standing on end. "I came back here... to free those that you captured... At first... I didn't care what happen to the lives of you ponies... Then I was forced in your little pity parties. I hear about you and how war like you are the ponies of old. None of you deserve to live only ones that run and tell... the others to never return here... I will ask never to be killed." An Enclave soldier charged me and I grabbed my weapon that had the scorpion stinger from the armour of an enclave soldier on it the end and blocked it. Staring at them with great anger. Smashing it across their head and then forcing them to the ground smashing over and over. As they try to struggle to get up. But I keep smashing till there was a sicking crack of their skull. Looking back up with a smile. "See... I am nothing like the Lightbringer... I don't care who gets in my way to save who I care about. Another life of a worthless pony." I put my new metal hoof on the enclaves head and smashed... Walking into the Arena.
"You hurt Kip... maybe even killed her... You are... my target... I am already an outcast of my species... I am not even a pony... I will not take heart... into killing you. For you are those of the past... and push... You belong there like the rest... So die and become dust like the past... Where trash like you belongs."
The enclave commander started firing at me and I was able to make it to the other end. As she screamed. "To those that don't keep fighting, I will kill you myself."
Soon after those words were spoken the battle started up again and Crossfire and his troops rushed to the cages to get the other ponies out. While The Buffalo rushed into the Arena to protect them and fired at the Enclave soldiers that didn't run. I wanted the Commander... to myself. I watched her fly into the former room of Wheel Tread and I rushed after her. She opened the case that held the Howling dance and carried it into her mouth and I chassed after her up the stair's that were in the arena area that lead to the very top of the mountain. It lead to a set of guard tower's that connected by one bridge.
She stood there holding the orb in her mouth and put it down on the bridge. "I don't know what is so amazing about this orb... But she told me a lot about it. It seems important to you." I blinked looking at the orb as it glowed brightly and it called to me... But I had to ignore it. But it was going to affect her if she kept it too close. Looking back to her calmly and smiled. "You left your troops to die... to the ponies and creatures of the wasteland. I am going to kill you..." I held my weapon getting closer as she picked up the orb again. I noticed it was starting to effect her slowly. She was holding it in her very mouth on her skin. She then set it down again and I stared at her.
"Your Lightbringer is going to fail... At saving this wasteland... All the ponies of this world know... is killing death...Al....t... hey... know.. is..." The orb starts to glow brightly. As she starts coughing up blood the radiation of the gem. It was getting very clear the Orb outside of it the case... Could effect ponies very easily with touch. "...What.....what did you do to me?" She coughed more and her wings fell off literally. She gasped looking at herself as the fur starts to fall off with her skin turning into bones and then dust... I looked at the Orb and went to grab it and picked it up.
Then it started to affect me groaning my head started to show so much pain. I carried it back to the arena back down the stairs. It was causing so much pain. I could hear voices of all the one's that touched it. They kept speaking to me. "Destroy the orb..... Destroy it... Nooo, keep it... It shows power." These voices went on over and over. I groaned and it was affecting me inside my body. But I didn't know it at the time. I placed it back inside the case and then closing it I passed out.
_______________
Crossfire
Crossfire held his wife tightly. As Shadow and Little hoof were freed. He held her and sobbed softly. As she seemed to be dead. But even so, the battle was still raging on. Crow found them and noticed Kip. "Bring her to the ruins there are nurses. there." Cross blinks nodding and puts her on his strong back. Carrying the bleeding body of her wife away from the Arena while the ponies that were captured tortured and starved were helped out to the outside of the arena. He carried the teal unicorn mare to the ruins to the nurses. The nurses looked up and they had a look of horror on their faces. He set her down. "Please... save her."
The nurses rush to her and nod to him as they start working on the dying unicorn mare.
______________
Silver Gunner.
The battle had been going on for a little bit of an hour. Proto and Gunner their armour smoking their weapons heated and causing sparks. They both seemed they could go on for day's months even in this battle. But one would have to fall. Proto had old hydraulics that seemed to freeze up after being overused. It was the chance to use that to take the big bot down. He looked at the movement and he backed up and fired his Lazer's again. Hitting the Hydraulics on the foot and Proto fell in a heap smoking and then slowly burning. The poor bot overheated. Maybe he could turn this robot into a guard... For the town, that would be made from this war. But of course Silver couldn't move his left back hoof was melted into the ground and he sighed he over did it... That the new armour that was put on him seemed to couldn't withstand it any longer. He tried to move the leg again and it would snap off. Moving around calmly on three legs with no issue. But looking around seeing some of the fights still going on... But he had to find Kip. He noticed Shadow being carried to a set of ruins. He followed them to get to Kip.
Little Hoof being a ghoul Minotaur seemed to be doing great when he got in there. But he couldn't find Kip. But He looked to see the Griffin Tiny and Bulkwark... With Bandages around their wounds. He then collapsed shutting down as his insides cooled.
___________________________________
The Rat Creeper's
The turrets finally warmed up and started firing at the Enclave. The creeper's seemed to be holding back letting ponies get out of the cave to get into the camp. Cannon Ball looks back at the old POW camp that was inside the cave seeing the Stable not far off. Maybe there was a reason for all this. The battle seemed to be slowing down. As his follower's carried out the headless body of Pot head and placed her outside. Alongside Soft paw. He sighed and leaned on the wall of the cave. Finally understanding why the war ended like it did... Just one battle like this... Almost could have ended the one's that wished to save the ponies. He rushed off as the creeper's kept helping the runners out.
He rushed towards the ruins going inside seeing the wounded and some dead. A lot of them seem to be Dumbbell's raiders but Dumbbell himself was alive barely. It would take him time to heal. He looked to Shadow who was asleep for the moment. he asked the question to the others inside. "What happened to Tiria?" Crow looked up and flew out quickly.
___________
Crow
The creature that mostly stayed as a Raven named Crow. Some pony something... That promised he would protect Tiria lost track of her. He watched the Buffalo and Fleur's crew clean up the rest of the Enclave. As the rest started retreating. He was hoping that would be the last they had to deal with them. Looking around and finally seeing the dead and the dying. Half of the Raider's that Dumbbell brought dead... Some Rat Creepers wounded none of them other than Pot head dead. None of the Buffalo or any of Fleur and her crew. But something was off, where are the Junk Reapers? He flew out and saw them they were guarding the one's that ran out of the cave and they placed the dead bodies of the Enclave in a pile removing their armour first. It seems they stayed outside to guard the area just in case more came. He sighed happily at that. Then he flew to the arena seeing nothing there and then into wheel tread's Office he found Tiria passed out her left arm and hand have no hair at all. It seems it completely fell out and the arm was tainted by something. But it seems it was to far gone to even try to heal her. He shifted into a large creature and placed her on his back and calmly walked out. The dust cleared the battle was over. The dead littered the area. of ponies that died way before they came. Of the young foals that tried to fight back.
The mares all the ponies and raider's that lived here. It would seem that there would need to be a lot of rebuilding if the ponies that were saved here... Wished to live here and make it a home to live. It would change a lot of the trade in this area and help the wasteland heal a little more. He carried Tiria to the nurses in the ruins of the clinic. Setting her down on a cot. He found that he had to watch her till she would wake.
___________
Day 37 POW camp
I opened my eye's seeing the sky. But the clouds were still there. I was hoping to see the sun or the moon. But I noticed my arm was wrapped in a magic bandage to try to heal it. Then I thought of Kip. I tried to get up but Fleur kept me down. "Shhhhh rest. You absorbed a great deal of something that is a bit like the taint they told me about. Also, the battle has been won." I smiled weakly looking towards a hill that had the former Slave Qauiters there were four gravestones. I stood up since I was allowed to and she helped me to them. I looked at the graves. I saw that one was Pot head on the gravestone was her pot. Then Softpaw Dumbbell's nameless second in command... That he called Lifter and... Wheel Tread it said... he finally can rest in peace. "What about... Kip?" I asked.
Fleur gave me a soft smile as I leaned on the lanky ghoul mare. She was stronger then she looked on her four hooves... "She is coming along great... So are Tiny and Bulwark..." Then I turned and everypony and creeper along with the Buffalo started cheering when they saw me. Was I really a hero? Was I really the one that helped them. "They need a leader Tiria... the ponies of this city are going to need a leader..." Fleur softly said to me. "Why not the hero that freed them from Wheel tread and then the Enclave."
I looked at them all tears fell from my eyes. I was given the Howl dance in its casing. Silver Gunner read my mind it seemed. He brought the larger case. I placed the smaller case in it and then I placed my broken hammer. My broken SMG and the sword that caught on fire... It was stomped on by the Buffalo and half of it was shattered. It was a reminder of what took us to free this place. I was also given the Zebra pistol. I decided for the time being to place it in the case with the other weapons. Along with the large morning star type mace, I was given with the scorpion tail. I placed it in there and I whispered it in there and a laser on the case plaque. It said Freedom
Cannon spoke up. "Let it be known. If it wasn't for Tiria. A small hero even if just a small hero for small things... A small hero can make a big difference all cheer for her!!"
They call cheered stomping their hooves and all I could hear was my name being said as a hero. I didn't wish to be one the first time. Now I am to many ponies and whatever creature's that wish to live here. This former POW camp that would hold a thriving Wasteland home. But it would take time to rebuild and make it what others would want.
I closed my eyes and all the cheers kept filling my mind. For once in my life... I was full of happiness and peace.
