Chapter 12: Vassal of the Dead

Motor Runner stood before a small group of Raiders armed with an assortment of light projectile weaponry. He was hoping to put his new found Starmetal Hide to the test after being assured by the ghoul scientist that it should make his skin as durable as the armour once worn by the dreaded Queen of the Night. The Raiders were all grinning like a great prize had just walked into their laps.

"A bit far away from home aren't you pretty boy?" A scarred mare wearing something that resembled shredded rags said as she levitated a rather rusty sawed-off shotgun up to his face.

One of the male Raiders looked at Motor Runner closely from where he stood behind the unicorn mare raising the sawed-off. He tilted his head in thought. 'This guy looks familiar'

"Got any last words pretty boy?"

Motor Runner didn't move, inside he was scared to death if the experiment failed but he had faith in what Sanguine had given him and so he steeled himself for the hit while also hoping the poor condition of the weapon wouldn't make the shot lethal.

"Oh shit stop" Cried the male Raider causing the mare to jump from the sudden cry.

"What the fuck is the matter with you, you fucking schizo?"

"He's a fucking Reaper"

Motor Runner grinned as he got some recognition from one of the Raiders.

"Is he fuck" The mare said as she hovered the weapon before his face.

"He fucking is, I've seen him before"

BANG!

Motor Runner braced himself but all he felt was a light peppering over his face that just gave him an annoying itch to which he raised a hoof and rubbed his face to get rid of. He felt small metal beads run down his face as he rubbed it with his hoof and realised that the buckshot hadn't penetrated his skin and he smiled with both relief and satisfaction.

"That's impossible" The mare screamed in shock as she dropped her sawed-off.

"I told you" The male said backing up along with the other Raiders who were fallowing the mare.

Motor Runner smiled as he looked down at the mare and readied his chainsaw foreleg. "You should have listened to your colleague" He said and with a swift swing of his leg he sliced off the forelegs of the mare that then fell to the ground screaming in agony. The other Raiders were about to turn tail and run but Motor Runner called out to them, making them freeze in their tracks.

"I'm looking for ponies I can trust to work hard. I know a Raiders life is long and hard trying to survive day in and day out. I want ponies with your kind of determination to help me build something that we can use to take over this world" Motor Runner said loudly so the Raiders around could hear him. "I have possession of a pre-war project that can give us that power but I need you ponies to help me build it. I can promise you shelter in the facility and a place in my new world once it's finished" He looked sort of bored as he spoke, like it was a practiced speech he has done several times before. It helped mask the fact it was a lie to the Raiders as his true intention was different; he just needed ponies he could use.

The Raiders were listening and being the stupid ponies that they are known for and they believed ever word. The fact he was a Reaper helped to make them believe him.

Motor Runner then gave them a dark grin as small robotic arms extended from his cybernetic foreleg and he picked up the sawed-off and cracked open its breach as if to reload it.
