Chapter 4: Questions (Reworked)

Previous Chapter Next Chapter

"Ok, so we all go to him and ask 1 question, right?" Twilight asked her friends.

"YES! We all heard you the first 4 times! Let's just get it over with!" Rainbow complained.

"I hope so. You ponies have been yelling and asking each other for about 2 minutes now. I just need to find a way to speed up time and get a new machine," Nuclear yelled to them, which made them all realize to get on with it.

Enter: APPLEJACK

"So, uh, mr. changeling?" Applejack asked nuclear.

"NUCLEAR! I Told my name to you guys 6 times!" Nuclear yelled, making her jump back a bit.

"Ok. 'Nuclear' what are you doing here?" Applejack said, using up her question.

"Well, I don't know if you'd understand it, but I'm from the future where the world was destroyed by something that I'm trying to solve, and this machine, which I think is now broke, is a time machine I can use to travel anywhere, and somepony stupid smacked the control panel and now I'm stuck here until either I find something to fix this, or just wait until the world is broken again. Although I doubt that you ponies would want me to choose the latter," He explained. Applejack was now confused but also understanding in a mixed way.

"Okay... I'll go tell the others that," Applejack said, leaving nuclear to his devices for a few seconds.

Enter: RARITY

Rarity was somewhat scared and intrigued as she walked to nuclear, who was now actually looking at the machine from the outside, looking for mistakes on the outside.

"Umm... Mr. Nuclear? Was that it darling?" Rarity asked Nuclear, who nodded silently as he looked into the power converter.

"Yep, that's my name, and I believe I'm don't know you well enough to have you call me darling," He joked, making her sputter.

"Ah-uhh. No that's...what?" She spattered.

"I'm joking. I've been to Manehattan and met people like you," He said with a grin.

"Whatever, what are you?" Rarity asked, making nuclear realize that some ponies are stupid.

"I'm a changeling. Duh. You must know us," He deadpanned.

"Well, yes, but we've never seen a 'changeling' like you before," Rarity answered, making him somewhat frightened.

"Well...ok, rarity. I'm not telling anybody that, no matter what, unless someone's life depends on it. Got it?" he explained, then rarity walked away from him.

Enter: PINKIE PIE

The Bubble gum Mare hopped to the glowy changeling currently flying up onto the top of the machine.

"Hello Mr. Nuclear! Whatcha doin?" Pinkie pie asked.

"Hi. Right now just Looking around on this thing," He replied.

"Ok! Speaking of which, what is that thing?" She asked.

"A time machine," He answered.

"Ok!" She said as she bounced away.

Enter: FLUTTERSHY

Fluttershy looked around at her friends, knowing she was next. She crawled slowly to the changeling, looking at him intensely, not taking an eye off him, making sure he isn't doing anything bad.

"umm, mr nuclear?" Fluttershy asked.

"Yeah?" He asked, sliding down the pole on the side, which made a screeching noise that made fluttershy uncomfortable.

"umm...what is the green glow around you?" She asked quietly.

"That's called radiation. Don't stand in it," He answered seriously, making fluttershy have a hasty retreat.

Enter: RAINBOW DASH

"Ok, this guy isn't getting by my question," She said to herself.

"So Nuclear. Are you just a scout from a changeling hive?" Rainbow asked him with a tense tone.

"Nope. Just a random radioactive changeling here to save the world. Nothin bad here unless you try to hug me," Nuclear said as he completely deflected the question and made her fall to the back.

Enter: TWILIGHT SPARKLE

She walked to the changeling, now lying down in defeat as he couldn't figure out another way to fix this thing.

"So nuclear, was it?" She asked.

"Yep. Nuclear. That's me," He responded.

"Well...What's the future like?" Twilight asked a question that he knew was coming, but didn't want to answer.

"Oh boy. Well Twilight, Sit down here... Now, Are you brave?" He asked, where he received a slow nod.

"Well, You're wrong," He responded, making her head tilt, "Anypony that said they are brave, glorious, a warrior, or even
a god will tremble to their knees when they see what the world came too. Death around every corner, either from scavengers finding meat and food, ghouls killing for no reason, death claws hunting anything, raiders taking homes from others, or super mutants racking up the deaths every second. I couldn't describe the FIRST time I came through that hell of... well, hell. Not only that, but all ponies and creatures are stuffed into either suits and armor killing said creatures to clean the world, or just living in underground homes and stuffing their caps under mattresses. The World is a new home for tartarus, and it's even worse."

She was now terrorized from what he had told her, "But why didn't anyone stop whatever made this happen,"

"That's the thing. Nobody knows what made it happen, and that's what I'm trying to figure out," Nuclear said determined.

Enter: STARLIGHT GLIMMER

"So, twilight told me what the world came too," Starlight told him, "And I gotta say, I'm not really surprised," which made him somewhat sit up.

"Why would any pony not be surprised?" Nuclear asked.

"Well, I've also seen multiple horrible worlds, but I did fix it, although I didn't see yours. However, I know you can find it, with or without our help," Starlight told him.

"Hey, Aren't you supposed to ask me something?" He asked

"I gave my question to spike so he has 2. Welp, It's his turn. bye," She said.

Enter: SPIKE

"OK! WHAT IS THAT THING!" Spike yelled at the thing strapped to Nuclear Belt.

"Oh, my Pistol? It's a gun. Think of it like a Fast moving projectile made of strong metal that can pierce through a lot of things," He answered.

"Can I see it work?" Spike asked.

Nuclear looked to the group and then said, "Ok, but let's go somewhere else," He said as he lead Spike around the back of the castle.

"Where are they going?" Rarity pointed out the changeling and dragon going behind the castle, which was then followed by an ear piercing sound of a soon to be realized Glock-47 C.

"WHAT. WAS. THAT?" Rainbow dash yelled, worried that spike might be hurt as she raced around the castle, only to see nuclear holding out the pistol, pointing to a now hole in the ground, and spike watching in disbelief.

"That. was. SOMETHING AWESOME!" Spike yelled to the heavens, who then burped up a mail. "Twilight! Mail!" He yelled to his friend, who then opened it and read it.

Dear my Prized pupil, Twilight Sparkle,

I have recieved your emergency mail about a changeling and I have sent a 2 guards to watch over him and bring him here if he has proven to be hostile.

If he has proven to be more powerful then realized, you must send an emergency mail and me and luna shall come to you and find him.

Sincerely, Princess Celestia

Author's Notes:

Yeah, pinkie pie's was short, but that was the joke, as you don't need to tell her much to convince her.
