Broken Steel

Chapter 2: Not of this World

I stood behind a shattered window looking out into the streets of Ponyville from the second floor of the dead tree that was labelled as the Library. I had spent a good hour in the cellar looking at some old remains. It turned out that some of the residents of 112 had found their way to Ponyville and started a community here before the Raiders came and either killed or sold some of them to Slavers but unfortunately there wasn't much left to show they had even been here at all. I wouldn't have found anything if my E.F.S didn't show the objective marker pointing to the Library and once inside it directed me to the door leading to the cellar.

Raiders were in the streets, small groups of three or four. I guess they are looking to find out what happened to their friends from here when the Stable Dweller took them out. I grinned as I aimed my 50cal out the window and down at the first group I seen. Now it's my turn. I didn't have much need for S.A.T.S since my visor enhanced my E.F.S and I was a dead shot with a sniper anyway. I zeroed in on the first Raider and fired. Boom!! My first shot echoed through the streets just as the Raider literally exploded in a gory mess. His two companions froze in fright as they looked at each other coated in their friend's blood and organs, giving me the perfect opportunity to shoot again. I fired my second shot and the Raider on the right went down with a shot the head, his brains painting his back as the bullet tore through his head. The other Raider, realising there is a sniper in the town dove for cover behind what looked like a mail box with a pegasus on the side. I couldn't get a decent shot on my target so I aimed for a spot on the mail box hoping for a critical hit on my target when I fired again. My shot pierced the mail box with ease and I heard a meaty slap and then a cry of pain as my shot tore through my target. I watched to see what happened and the Raider stumbled out with a clean hole through her belly. My 50cal had put a clean hole through the belly of this Raider, I couldn't believe how off my aim was at that. I was about to fire again when I noticed more red contacts appearing on my E.F.S closing in on both sides, at least six were running towards my location. Its no surprise to me they discovered where I am, my thunderous 50cal shots could be heard half way across Equestria.

I opened my storage compartment and pulled out the Lever-Action Shotgun as I would be reduced to close quarters combat. At least my armour was strong enough to withstand the pathetic weapons these idiots use and I think this will be a good opportunity to get some close range weapon practice. Hovering the weapon by my side I started to trot down the stairs heading to the front door, waiting for the Raiders to start piling in.

 I waited for a little while but nopony kicked the door in and come charging at me. I looked at my E.F.S and I could see that they were just standing there on either side of the door. Letting out an annoyed moan I trotted to the door, extending my magic to grip the door knob I pulled it open and then I was met by an electronic beeping noise. BEEP! BEEP!! I looked down in time to see four mines on the doorstep "Oh smeg" I cried and before I could do anything. Ka-Boom!!! I had never felt so much pain in my life as I was sent flying backwards into the bookshelves from the blast. I received crippled forelegs and my armour also received some nasty fractures to its armour plating on the forelegs and chest. I moaned from the pain as I rolled back onto my belly to pick myself up as my armour suit's medical system kicked in and applied healing and restoration potions to fix me up but unfortunately my armour wasn't near anything that could be labelled as scrap metal so it couldn't be repaired.

As I was recovering the Raiders began to enter the library. Luckily for me my lever-action shotgun had landed beside me and I quickly picked it up with my magic and stood with a groan. I may have been healed but fuck it still hurts. "What the fucking hell? That bitch is still alive" The lead Raider of the group shouted in disgust at the failed attempt to kill me with the mines. "That's right you fuckers, I'm not dead yet" I shouted back in anger as I fired my first shot from the lever-action. The buckshot peppered the whole group but from the range I fired it from it only caused minor damage, more of an irritation than any harm. I then broke into a gallop, charging at the Raiders as they readied their guns and before any of them could get a fix on me I ploughed into the lead Raider with a satisfying crunch as my heavily armoured body broke his ribs, collapsing his lungs. He fell instantly unable to breath. One of the Raider's holding a sawn-off in her mouth fired, the poor condition weapon didn't help make the shots lethal as the buckshot from it pinged off my armoured hide harmlessly. The other Raiders had melee weapons, a pool cue, like that's gonna do anything to me, and a combat knife with a serrated edge and again, that's gonna do fuck all to me. I entered S.A.T.S for the first time in possibly years and took aim at the Sawn-off, I toggled a singled shot to her head before turning to the other two and doing the same. It felt weird being in S.A.T.S as time seemed to come to a stand still so I could get my targets and once I ended the spell, everything returned to normal but I got off three shots with the shotgun in quick succession thanks to S.A.T.S. Sawn-off went down without a head and so did Pool Cue but Combat Knife seemed to have moved somewhat so my shot didn't hit her head. Instead it tore into her lower back and she went sprawling on the floor. She was still alive as I trotted up to her.
