Fallout Equestria: Sleepless in Seaddle (Closing, IC)

[Das Metro]

Gallows felt happier than she had all her life, knowing that she could finally have the thing she wanted the most. "I wouldn't rather have anypony else," Gallows said sweetly, "W-What would we name them..?" she asked dreamily.

Cybrony smiled cheerfully. "Well, I guess that depends. Are they a filly or a colt? Pegasus or unicorn? You know we may even have an alicorn." He said with a chuckle as he held her tight. "First we'd need to make sure that you were . . . Err . . . You know . . . Pregnant." He said uncomfortably again. "We're definitely not calling them Toaster though." He said with a chuckle. "But before I make promises I cannot keep we should see your Dad about fixing me."

Just as Gallows got up and was about to suggedt going to see him, a bulky unicorncracked open the cell door. She was pretty sure his name was Chief. Chief's looked from Cybrony, to Gallows, then to all the blood. "I have some news Miss Gallows," he said flatly. Chief had seen worse in Gallows' cell.

"What?" Gallows asked, annoyed.

Chief's face remaoned stony, "Herr Doktor Opium, your father is in the Stable ICU. Mare threw pure sulfuric acid into his right eye during an interrogation. Without further explanation, Chief left, leaving Gallows' mouth agape. She broke down into tears.

[Das Metro]

"Mhm," Widowmaker mxumbled as she sleepily closed her eyes. It was so exciting! If the plan went well, she'd be going back to her father as the new Whisper. He'd be do proud of her... For the first time in her life, Tacitus would be proud of her. With a smile on Widiwmaker's face, she fell asleep in Shade's forelegs.

Shad chuckled as he watched his mate fall asleep in his forelegs. He stayed awake thinking about his day. A day filled with both happiness, and sorrow. Shade was happy to be with his tribe again. However, what he had to do, in order to do so, made his reunion bitter. At least, Shade thought, he could make up for his actions by helping In idea restore her family honor. Soon, Shade felt his eyes getting heavy. So he closed them, and drifted off to sleep.

Widowmaker couldn't sleep. Less than an hour after drifting off, her slit-irises opened and she grumbled. Why wait?.. The longer Vox and Venator were alive, the more damage they could do. Carefully finessing from Shade's forelegs, she took her bone spear between her teeth and looked to Shade. "Eclipse dear. Come on, let's do this now..." she mumbled, jabbing Shade with the blunt end of the spear.

Shade was sleeping like a log, until Invidea woke him up. The bat-colt roused from slumber, and peeled his cat-like eyes open. Shade yawned, and gave Invidea, a sleepy look, wondering why she woke him. "Uh... What is it, dear?" he said sleepily. Then it finally hit him. He immediately got onto his hooves. "Oh. Right... You want to do this now? Uh... Alright, Honey. If you say so.." Shade withdrew a sharp dagger, from a scabbard 'round his flank. "Ready?" he asked, with a devilish grin.

[La Bandera Roja]

Muffins? What was this? Tenpony tower? He hadn't seen a muffin for years and now this place was just giving them away. "I'll get a muffin too." He siad and moved down, "And some of that hay, and some of those beans, please." He said as he moved down the line of food. He was not used to eating a lot, but there was a lot of food.

Sec chuckled. "And perhaps... a nice salad, to go with my muffin." he said happily, as he grabbed a salad container from the counter. When their trays was filled with food, the two stallions sat down at table, and began eating. "Mmmm!" said Sec, as he took a bite out of his muffin, "I haven't eaten food this good, in a long time." The zebra then took a sip of his coffee milk, leaving a bit of milk on his upper lip.

Dunder licked the milk off of the Zebra's upper lip then blushed. "You had some milk on you, thought I could just get it for you, cutie pie." He said and nuzzled the other stallion before going back to feverishly wolfing down food.

Sec turned red, as Dunder licked the milk off his upper lip. "Thank you, hun. Did you like it?" he giggled, kissing him on the forehead, before chowing down on his salad, and taking another bite out of his muffin. The zebra then gazed at the chowing pegasus with his one eye, and grinned. "You're handsome, you know? I hope you know that."

Cybrony watched the exchange silently. He felt a deep sense of dread on Gallows behalf, fearing for the death of her father. He wrapped his hooves around her as she sobbed and pulled her close, nestling her head under his as he hugged her tight and gently wrapped his bloodied wings around her. "He'll be fine Gallows, he'll be okay. You'll see, he'll heal up and then he will be fine and he will give you this hug instead of me." He said with a smile as he held her tight. She was small compared to his soldier conditioned body and his mechanical parts. He kissed her forehead gently and sat down, cradling her in his strong robotic hooves with her tears being soaked up by his shoulder. "I'm here for you Gallows, we can get through this. We can go fix him if you want to." He said softly, trying to figure out what to say, he had never cared for his parents much.

Gallows continued to wail and sob into Cybrony's shoulder despite his calming words. This would of bern her reaction regardless, but the fact that he was the one pony capable of helping Cybrony was now in the intensive care unit. Opium had seemed invincible... How could he have slipped up like that? Gallows looked up at Cybrony and sniffled, "I- do- don't know... He was always there to fix things for me... H-How could he have let somepony do that?"

In The ICU
There was a long drawn out groan from the white stallion on the table. Three doctors stood around the pony and shook their heads. "Could we replace it? Something robotic?"

"No... Ocular nerves are frayed, a cybernetic eye would just e a glorified prothesis," the second said.

The third nodded, "Why not just remove it?"

"You know he'd have a fit."

"Right..." the third said.

"Why not make a statement..?" the first said cryptically.

The second doctor raised an eyebrow, "What?"

"The five scars... they're a icon for him... Let's give him another... Salvage what we can of the eye... Use graft-cell procedures to mend it... Then just leave it..."

"He'd like that."

The third nodded, "I agree. It should turn out beautifully..." The three nodded him and picked up their tools...

[Pinki3 Pon-3]

No Name looked at Belle and his gaze softened. This prisoner should consider himself lucky, No Name was on the verge of another breakdown. Focusing on Belle, the burning slowly disappeared, though it only seemed to agitate Fury. The booming roar turned to the most demonic, inpony thing he had ever heard. It was like the mix of a roar, a scream, and a buzzsaw. No Name would've said it sounded like a dragon, but even a dragon's roar wasn't as unnerving. "Do it! Now! Give in! Kill him! Do it! NOW," Fury roared in between bouts of the ungodly noise. No Name looked to the prisoner with a pained glance, "Who handles your contracting? What's your group named?.." No Name asked laboriously.

The captive watched the odd couple in confusion and then nodded when No Name asked him a question, "Oh . . . Erm, th-the b-boss? Sh-she's called D-Don Ivy." The captive said in terror. "Sh-she's t-trying t-to s-start a . . . A thing t-to rival th-that Opium guy." He said fearfully. Belle sighed, "I see so Corset is at the Tiara Mansion then?"
The captive nodded profusely.
"Then leave, you irritate my buckfriend." She said and waved her hoof. Poppet dropped him and he dashed out of the store at top speed. Belle turned to No Name and nuzzled him, her face was covered with worry, "Are you okay dear? Is it gone? We can wait for a moment until it subsides." She said worriedly.

No Name felt the horrid burning disappear as the prisoner scurried off. Fury continued roaring and making that other horrible noise for a moment, then suddenly cut off. No Name smiled and kissed Belle lightly on the nose. "Much better sugarcube... Now, let's find Corset..." he said, shakily moving to the door.

[Pinki3 Pon-3]

Silvershield walked exhaustedly, over a small grassy knoll. The wound on his back stung with every step, he wondered what those bandits thought they had to gain from a soldier. Oh well, he thought, the world was better without them. Then again, it may also be without him. He shook his head, and looked in front of him, the sun shined on him as he squinted his eyes. A mirage? How long had it been since he had a good gulp of water, or for that matter a meal. Too long. Perhaps it was abandoned? Likely, every 'city' he'd seen was long abandoned. Maybe, just maybe this was different? There was, of course, one way to find out. Silvershield sighed heavily and slowly walked towards the foreboding figure on the landscape, it felt like years as he forced himself forward, the minutes go by so slowly now. After what seemed like several decades, he stopped, a shadow enveloped him like that darkness that had overtaken the world. He looked up, and there it was before him, anything but abandoned. Civilization. Finally. Though he wondered if this city might be more dangerous than the badlands. With his luck it probably was. He sighed again, and slowly began to enter Maregaton.

(Co-op powers ACTIVATE *hits big red button*)
A short yellow mare appeared next to Silvershield with a soft *pop* she looked around in confusion and then saw him. "OHYYYY! How are you? Who are you? Why are you injured?" She spoke really, really fast and disappeared before reappearing on his back, she was so light that he hardly felt her four hooves as she inspected the wound. She disappeared again and reappeared in front of him, "Want me to have a look at that? I'm a qualified medic . . . Well I was . . . And then there was the gummi bear incident." She said and stared off into the distance before snapping back into reality, "Anyhooves my name's Blink. You want me to look at that hole near your spine?"

[Pinki3 Pon-3]

No Name felt the horrid burning disappear as the prisoner scurried off. Fury continued roaring and making that other horrible noise for a moment, then suddenly cut off. No Name smiled and kissed Belle lightly on the nose. "Much better sugarcube... Now, let's find Corset..." he said, shakily moving to the door.

Belle moved ahead and stood in front of him, barring his exit. "Much better isn't good enough No Name." She said, abandoning pet names. She was dead serious about what she had to say. "You need to be fine No Name, I'm not letting you go anywhere until you are fine. If there's another outburst they might not be as forgiving next time. Besides, we don't even know what this condition does to you. What if you get hurt No Name?" She said and looked at him with worry in her eyes, he was shaking as he stood there and she wasn't happy about it at all, "Please, I want you to be okay No Name."

Cybrony sighed as he held her in his hooves. "The same way I managed to let us get captured, I made a mistake. He made one too, but he'll be fine. He is a lot smarter than me Gallows, he'll find a way to fix it." He said, his wings forming a sort of cage around her to keep her safe. He lowered his head and kissed her snout. "You'll see, he'll be fine, so fine in fact that he'll be able to fix me as well. You'll see." Cybrony said with a gentle smile as he nuzzled her stomach in an attempt to make her laugh.

No Name's gaze fell to the floor and he sighed. "I'm fine Belle, it's gone," he said whiningly. He knew she was right of course, but No Name didn't want to think about what he was like while in his trance like state. If Diamond's condition was any indication, it was definitely not pretty. "Don't worry about me Belle, I ha-" No Name stopped, the word 'hate' made him feel sick, "I dislike seeing you so distressed. I promised I'd protect you right? Well, if I'm going to do that, I need to kep myself under control. C'mon, let's go dear," No Name, his stern voice softening as he went on.

For a pony so tolerant to pain, Gallows was incredibly sensitive to anything even mildly ticklish. She muffled a ggigle with her hoof, and sobbed some what again. "B-But... In his eye!" she said, sniffling, "He got s-sulfuric acid in his eye!" Gallows repeated, still just as hysterical.

Cybrony grinned and nuzzled her stomach again before looking up at her with his robotic eye. "So did eye." He said with a chuckle at his awful pun. "An acid reflux caused by magical splashback went off in my face. Melted my wings off, my forehooves, my eye, my vocal chords, one my lungs and half my heart. I'm fine . . . Mostly. You'll see, he'll pull through and be back to his usual, smart talking, intelligent self." Cybrony said and half-grinned, "And he'll be able to smile fully." He said and returned to nuzzling her stomach, trying to make her laugh aloud.

No Name's gaze fell to the floor and he sighed. "I'm fine Belle, it's gone," he said whiningly.

Belle looked at him uncertainly and then walked through the door, allowing him to follow. She waited for him to pass through the door before kissing him on the lips. "Just be careful okay? I need you." She said softly and then began walking. "Should we go find Ghost or should we handle this ourselves?" She asked him curiously.

Gallows giggled aloud between smaller sobs and smiled slightly. She had forgotten that Cybrony had bern through worse. In comparison to him, Opium seemed fine. "Y-You're right... Dad has been through w-worse, I think..." Gallows said, cheering up slightly, "D-Do that again, it tickles," she said smiling.

No Name slowly stopped shaking the farther away he thought the captive had gone. Soon, he was walking as proudly and confidently he had been walking the day before. "The sooner we get this done... the better," he said immediately, "Besides, if we go and get him, then we find that these mercenaries are all incompetent idiots we could've handled ourselves, I'll be..." No Name paused, looking for an appropriate word, "Distraught."

Cybrony chuckled, "Exactly! He's the leader of the Coterie for Luna's sake!" He said excitedly, he had absolutely no idea what the Coterie was, it just sounded like a good thing to put on Opium's rap sheet. "He's had ponies stuffed, buildings destroyed, slaves executed, and he's died and come back." Cybrony said to Gallows encouragingly, he actually didn't know if any of that had happened or whether he just heard wild rumours.
He grinned (Half) when she told him to do it again and chuckled mischievously. "What this?" He said and began nuzzling her stomach furiously to try and make her burst into laughter. It was rather easy with the way she was held in his arms, as if she were reclining on a deck chair.

(I feel silly, missed this while reading the page, wrote a post, then saw it.)

Silvershield just stood there, really, in utter confusion of this...ambush he'd call it. Of course, being the rigid soldier he was, he could answer any question, and any number of them. "Been better. Name's Silvershield. Fight with bandits. You already are, and lastly I suppose now that i'm in civilization I should get that looked at." He readjusted his helmet slightly, which had, for an unknown reason, been nudged into an ever so slight jaunty angle. I was expecting to be shot at really, but this will do. He thought to himself, chuckling in his head.

Gallows began to cackle much in the manner of her father, though she sounded much happier. Whenever Opium cackled it meant he was about to do something most ponies found nauseating. She scooted up and nuzzled Cybrony's neck, feeling much more herself. "Oka- Okay stop!" she said through giggles and her mad cackling. It was like a sensory overload for Gallows, and she had tears in her eyes again.

[Das Metro]

Widowmaker couldn't sleep. Less than an hour after drifting off, her slit-irises opened and she grumbled. Why wait?.. The longer Vox and Venator were alive, the more damage they could do. Carefully finessing from Shade's forelegs, she took her bone spear between her teeth and looked to Shade. "Eclipse dear. Come on, let's do this now..." she mumbled, jabbing Shade with the blunt end of the spear.

Shade was sleeping like a log, until Invidea woke him up. The bat-colt roused from slumber, and peeled his cat-like eyes open. Shade yawned, and gave Invidea, a sleepy look, wondering why she woke him. "Uh... What is it, dear?" he said sleepily. Then it finally hit him. He immediately got onto his hooves. "Oh. Right... You want to do this now? Uh... Alright, Honey. If you say so.." Shade withdrew a sharp dagger, from a scabbard 'round his flank. "Ready?" he asked, with a devilish grin.

Widowmaker nodded and strolled out of the tent, checking to see that Shade had been following her. She was ready to do this, she was ready to take back what was hers and restore her bloodlines reputation as the leaders of the Umbra. The mare pointed a hoof to the Elder's tent and then to an equally sizeable tent next to it, "Vox is in the other tent. You know what to do dear." She gave him a quick peck on the lips and galloped towards the Elder's tent.

Shade nodded, with a twisted grin. Doing this again, actually felt great. Shade loved his job as an assassin, and he was proud of it. Making it more of a hobby, than a job. The bat-pony sneaked into Venator's tent, and saw him, lying on his bed cloth, sleeping like a rock. Shade snickered, silently as he approached the sleeping Venator, with the blade in his hoof, ready to kill. Shade then laid a hoof on his target, pinning him to the ground, and raised his knife in the air, before plunging it down, into Venator's chest. This is for bullying me, and Invidea, when we were foals, Venator! he thought to himself.

Silvershield just stood there, really, in utter confusion of this...ambush he'd call it. Of course, being the rigid soldier he was, he could answer any question, and any number of them. "Been better. Name's Silvershield. Fight with bandits. You already are, and lastly I suppose now that i'm in civilization I should get that looked at." He readjusted his helmet slightly, which had, for an unknown reason, been nudged into an ever so slight jaunty angle. I was expecting to be shot at really, but this will do. He thought to himself, chuckling in his head.

Blink giggled, "Yay! Hi Silvershield! Now . . . "She disappeared and reappeared standing on his back again with one of her forehooves pointed forward dramatically. "TO THE OPERATING THEATER!" She yelled and instantaneously the two disappeared, leaving some very confused onlookers. They two rematerialised inside a dark, dingy room with a wheely hospital bed that had restraining straps on it. The room was plain white and looked very bare for a hospital room. The walls had a few blood splatters here and there. Blink disappeared from his back and reappeared holding some latex hoofgloves and an operating mask. Her mane hung in loose red curls around her shoulders as she pulled the gloves on. "If you could just lie down on the trolley please I'll we'll you to the operating room, stomach first so I can see the wound." She said and giggled. "You're a soldier right? Of course, you said you were. While I'm outa anasthetic so you might have to be awake for this, that's fine I take it." She said with a twinkle in her eyes and disappeared again before reappearing next to the trolley while patting it's covers. "Come oooon! Its perfectly safe . . . 90% of statistics show that I've never not made no mistakes." She said with a grin. "Trust the big number! Numbers are your friends!"

Venator's eyes snapped open, and he narrowly rolled from the knife blow. Clumsily, he scrambled to his hooves in surprise at seeing Shade in his tent, with a knife, attacking him. "What in oblivion? Bad fucking move you little bug!" he shouted, but there was a twinge of fear in his eyes. They darted about his tent searching for a weapon.

"Yes, I am a soldier. I think I can handle the pain." He lies on the bed, stomach down as asked, and rested his eyes.
