Fallout Equestria Destiny's Zero Dawn
Sea Of Stars And Discovery
The Creed Part 1
On bored the Twilight Express I sat in my room the large space was dimly lit as it was night time on the train most of the residents were sleeping well save for me I was reading a report from Avalon the resistance had sent the report to the station then to the express as I was reading I heard a chime from my desk pushing the intercom button ``yes?'' I say ``hi Belle it's me Alpha open up'' I hear her say as I push the open button and Alpha strides into the room in a home made body that she says is called a Nikka body it was tall with long flam red hair streaming behind her like a cape a simple blue vest over a white t-shirt with tall boots and white slakes a tray with a glass of milk held in one hand ``I had a feeling you were still up burning the midnight oil well your assistant's Chi and Rally ask me to bring you a glass of warm milk and to shoo you off to bed''
I look up at her then at the data pad ``yeah maybe your right I am pretty tired'' I say powering down the data pad and standing up pulling my robs belt a bit tighter I had a feeling that Alpha had been eyeing over a bit ``that's good to hear Belle I told the others if you refused to go to bed I was going to tie you to the bed'' she says with a glint in her eyes as I look at her ``Alpha sometimes you come off as crazy you know that?'' I say as she chuckles placing the warm milk on my night stand ``yes you have Belle but as I always say I mean well its just been some time scene I have been around others more importantly friends''
It didn't take me long to fall asleep starting to think they was more than just milk in that glass as I opend my eyes I found myself in a world of mist I could only see a few feet in front of me reaching out with my magic sense's but it only went to the edge of the fog then stopped like I has hit a wall this mist was not normal I took a few steps forward I heard something.......was that a flute? taking a few more steps I heard it again okay that was an ocarina this time as I started walking I heard a rumbling under foot then the sound of a horn loud and deep then the mist started to clear
As the mist parted I saw four figures sitting around a camp fire as I got closer I saw all four of them were wearing some kind of black and dark gray uniforms and they were armed on who had thire back to me had a pair of kukris at their lower back in an ornate scabbard with a few throwing knifes as well as other wepons from short swords to handguns ``oh looks like he's here'' came a cheery female voice from my right she had dark to light chestnut hair and magenta eyes
As the woman got to her feet and came over to be she drops into a kneeling bow ``greetings Prince Belle my names Crowe I'm a mage from the Hidden Ones of Camelot'' she says looking up at me I blinked a few times ``i..its nice to meet you Crowe but I have to ask where am i?'' as I ask I feel two strong hands clap me on both shoulders turning to my right I saw a tall man with short shaggy brown hair with gray eyes a well trimmed mustache going down to a short trimmed beard ``ha ha you ask the right questions kid `` he says as a voice from my left joined in ``yeah so come on over and maybe we can give you some answer's `` this voice came from a somewhat heavy set man with short cropped blond hair blue eyes with a short trimmed beard and mustache
The three led me to the camp fire as I took a seat I looked over the fire to the last member of the team it was hard to make out his features but he had the air of a leader as the others sat down the one named Crowe moved closer to him I saw her wave a hand in front of the man's face ``oh come on wake your ass up Nyx'' she says and slaps him on the back of his head as he falls forward she grabs him ``ha....what okay I'm up Crowe no need to hit or.....was I falling into the fire?'' he asked looking back at her after a few moments Nyx looked at me ``well it is nice to finally met you Belle I have to say you have your fathers bearing and your mothers grace'' he says ``I'm sure yo have been wondering about ware you are well all I can say is you inside your fathers ring this place is kind of like a reality marble'' he says before looking at the rest of his teammates before looking at me again ``and I'm sorry to say but were not really here we all died some time ago after your father's kingdom fell'' he says and waves his hand to the mist as it starts to clear more reveling some kind of structure looked to be made of some kind of black stone with mutable level's the place looked like a training ground
Nyx smiled and moved so he was standing beside me ``this place is called The Ziggurat the place meant to train the next generation of Assassin's as well as the next rulers of Camelot'' he says as he places a hand on my shoulder ``but first before you can truly use this place you need the bracelets as well as your own uniform as well''
The next morning I awake with a start reaching out I felt something in my hand looking I saw a data card then the memory of the dream came back to me Nyx handed me a data card ``the place you have to go is one of our last strongholds a castle it was not on any data base so it should not of been raided by the empire just be careful your stepping into a world of shadows the wrong word to the wrong ear can be deadly'' he told me
Bringing myself back to the present I got out of bed and rushed over to my very large bank of computer monitors placing the data card on a reader a deep from the intercom buzzed ``Mr. Belle I see your up would you care for some breakfast?'' came the cherry voice of Loppy ``Loppy you have the best timing sure I can eat just something that I can eat with one hand oh and some coffee as well'' I say as I hear my rooms door slide open and the sound of a cute little yawn as Chi padded her way in still in her lavender nightgown ``YAWN......good morning Belle'' she says coming over to me thankfully I was thinking and put on some shorts so Chi would not see me in the pink panties that Freya had made for me
As Chi got close she jumped up into my lap before turning to the monitor screens ``oh that's a pretty Castle'' she says as I look at her ``say Chi do yu happen to know the name of this place?'' I ask as Chi shacks her head ``sorry wish I did know it'' she says looking up at me ``can I ask way your looking this place up?'' she asked and I filled her her she looked shocked at what I told her but she believed my words and stood up on my lap ``okay then lets get to work'' she says just as her belly rumbles and I chuckle ``its okay breakfast is on its way'' I say as the chime sounds and Loppy and Terry come in Loppy holding a try of food with her long ears and Terry pushing a tea cart with a warm coffe pot n it along with cream sugar and cups as we got to work
As the two of use worked we enjoyed the food and coffee I plugged the image of the Castle letting the Twilight Express's mainframe computer system help us in our search starching in my chair ``say Belle how about me starch our legs and get something to drink down stairs in the party car?'' Chi says and I nod ``sure that sounds good to me Chi'' I say getting up as she comes along as we made our way down the slopping stair case into the party car I saw a table by a window a little hover drone came by displaying a menu for us I ordered a lavender smoothie and zucchini fry's and Chi ordered for a vanilla been smoothie but she asked them to add some spicy herba mystica powder to it as well as some soy nuggets
Raising an eye brow at Chi she just giggled ``hehe yeah I had a feeling you would do that Belle but yes I like spicy drinks and food when I'm doing research it helps focus my mind'' she says as I nod ``right but still sounds crazy Chi'' I say as she looks at me and pushes her glasses up on her muzzle ``now seeing as we have treats on the way I wanted to talk to you about something Belle'' she says with a look in her eyes that was hard to read like she was weighting options after a moment she spoke again ``belle do you consider us friends?'' I was shocked at what she had said it was hard to find my voice ``yes I think of you as a friend intact I think of you as a close friend'' I say as Chi blinks ``yeah I feel I can talk to you about anything Chi and you will tell it to be straight'' I was about to say more but Chi held up a paw then she smiled ``best answer I was looking for Belle'' she says as she spots a serving bot rolling its way to us ``well how about we enjoy our treat and talk a bit more after''
Later we found our self's back in my room we were joined my Malachi Run Nari Naru and Kai the five Fey-Kin wanted to help us with our research as we sat at the snack bar poring over data pads as I nibbled on a chocolate dipped sesame seed stick when an image caught my eye ``oh?'' I reach out a hand picking up the data pad and started to take a closer look as I did I felt Kai jump up on my left shoulder then I felt Vanny jump up onto my right shoulder her little bunny paws resting on my cheek ``oh Belle I think you found it'' Kai says looking over at Vanny ``do you think he found it Chi? Oh I man Vanny that's going to take some time to get use to saying'' Kai says looking sheepish as Vanny giggles ``that's okay Kai just take your time''
Later I sat in the ready room the main parlor car Rally sat across from me at the table print outs and holo projectors scattered about ``okay so tell me Belle what are you hoping to find in this castle?'' she says looking at me ``your going off of some dream you had'' ``its wasn't a dream Rally it was a...a vision from my ring from my dad's ring I'm meant to find something there not sure what it is'' I say as Rally looks at me a look on concern on her face ``bell I know you want to reclam something of your family but this world its deep in Empire territory'' she says as Vanny jumps up onto the table `` yes that is true Ms Rally I did talk to Belle about this very fact but I think theirs is a way'' she says holding a data pad and tapping on it as a new hologram appears of a new world then a shot of a lavish manor house with a poster next to it ``here this is manor iris the lady of the manor is holding a dinner for up and coming Fey-Kin performers'' she says as Rally looks at the info on the poster then to me then Vanny before closeing her eyes
After a moment Rally opened her eyes ``okay you convinced me Vanny but if he's doing this then we need to move fast the dinner is in two weeks and we need to get Belle ready Vanny you can teach him all the ins and outs of Royal dining and educate'' she says then looks at me ``as for you Belle your going to need some sprucing up'' she says thinking for a moment before napping her fingers ``that Glaceon friend of yours freya was it she can help get you ready as well'' a day later I sat at an outdoor cafe in Saint Rose City the town was amazing set within the walls of a castle city the cafe I was seated at was called The Lavender Bloom ``my oh my little Chime this city is amazing'' Freya says batting her eyes at me as I try to sink lower into my chair as Freya finish's off a croissant on a plate ``oh come now Little Chime don't hide that pretty face of yours'' she says as I try to go lower in my chair ``I know but still Freya way did you put eye shadow on me as well I look ridicules'' I say as Freya makes a tsk tsk sound
As I sat back up a long stand of black hair fell over my eyes before I could brush it away a pink hand brushed it away for me looking to my left I saw Lyre a cute Flaaffy his wool like main trimmed and styled he had the scent of a venial and mint perfume on him that was nice ``yeah your right Freya tsk tsk Belle yu have too look your best but.....now that I'm looking at you in the light I think a rose gold hairclip would look really good on you now that your hair is so much longer'' he says as I groin ``don't remind me Lyre it takes me so long to brush it out in the morning'' I say as both Freya and Lyre start giggling before going cheek to cheek and saying as one ``that's way you have us darling'' the two say and I couldn't help but giggle myself
A bit later we stopped by a small shop on our way back to our inn it didn't take them long as the two Fey-Kin came out with happy grins on their muzzles and that sent a shiver down my spine back at the inn I found myself in the bathroom under the caring paws of both Freya and Lyre the two Fey-Kin worked feverishly on my hair Lyre had used some kind of spell that made my hair grow a bit longer I was not able to see any of this I was told to close my eyes and to not peak as the two worked ``my oh my Little Chime I think we are close to making a master peace here what do yu think Lyre?'' I hear Freya say to Lyre as he giggles ``oh yes very much so just need to add a little color to his hair and we will be set for tonight'' I hear him say ``um.....are you going to change my hair color Lyre?'' I say
After a bit longer of the two working I hear a knock at the door I start to move to go answer it I was held down by Lyre ``no no little chime you stay right there'' he says and calls out to Nair to go and get the door a few moments later I hear the sound of something being rolled into the bathroom and i hear Freya call out ``Yohann so good to see you love your looking dashing as always'' she says as I hear them talk in low voices before Lyre proclaimed ``and........done....i think I have outdone myself'' he says as Freya comes over and lets out a sort of purring sound ``purrrr my oh my you really have Lyre'' I hear Freya say ``okay Little Chime you can open your eyes on three'' she says and nuzzles my cheek ``okay my little chime one....two.......and.....three'' she says and I open my eyes
As I opened my eyes I looked at a face in the mirror the face that looked back....was that me? Looking more closely I saw that I had lavender eye shadow on I even saw some color to my lips it was a clear pink ``you....you all of you thank you this looks amazing'' I say as Freya and Lyre both clap paws before hugging me from both sides
That night I stepped out of our inn I was blushing hard the outfit I had on was a pale blue vest over what I can only describe as a one-piece swimsuit that hugged the curve's of my body my legs were in matching blue silver thigh high socks and lastly I had gray slip on shoes as I made my way forward by my side was a Zorua who had tan body fur and tail fur with purple highlights on their legs and head fur and even some that looks a little like eye shadow as well as some black fluffy fur around his neck ``so you feeling ready for tonight Belle?'' the Zorua asked and I nodded ``yeah as ready as I will ever be Chip'' I say as he smiles a pink and red Fennekin comes up and nuzzles his cheek ``hehe that's my big strong and cute mate'' she says as Chip nuzzles her back `` oh come on Hathor I was trying to look cool'' he says as a giggle comes from our rear
Looking back I saw a very cute Sylveon and a snow white Alolan Vulpix-Eevee hybrid with ice blue stockings on each leg and very pretty blue eyes the Sylveon was taller than the Pixvee thire white and pink fur was well groomed and shined as the two got closer I saw the pink heart that looked like an eye patch on the Sylveon's left blue eye ``hay Kyuubi hay Zephyr nice to see the two of you'' I say as Kyuubi nuzzles my leg as Zephyr wraps a ribbon feeler around my hand as I kneel down to pet Zephyr Kyuubi leans up and licks my cheek and Zephyr dose the same with my other cheek as Chip and Hathor both giggle before joining in on the nuzzle party
As we waited by a street corner by the inn we were staying at a hours drawn carriage pulled up as a man in a very regal looking suit a plate with a crest of a sword with fairy wings wrapped around the hilt his hair was well kept not a stand out of place ``are you Belle Cullens ?'' he asked and I nodded ``yeah that's me'' the fancy man nodded as well ``very good place clime on board we just have one more stop to pick up two young maidens who will be joining you and the other performers'' he says as I get on board and take a seat in the plush enterer as I sat down a beep came from a phone nest to my seat picking it up `` hello?'' I say as the other person on the line talks again ``I hope everything is to your likeing we just need to make one more stop and pick up two ladys who will be joining festivity's so sit back and relax''
The ride was nice seeing more of the city as the carriage came to a stop in front of a very fancy looking hotel the door opened as two beautiful ladies climbed in followed by a barrage of camera flashes right before the door was closed cutting off the bright flashes ``eep man how did they find us we were so carful we used fake names and ever thing'' the one girl says as the other nods ``yeah not sure maybe someone saw Pixy and Ember when I was practicing in the hotel gem but......wait Bell is that you?'' came the voice as I was blinking away the flashes I saw Serena and Dawn looking at me looks of shock clear on there faces It took a bit of time to explain to both Serena and Dawn way I was here but in the end they wanted to help me then a ring from the phone as Dawn picked it up ``yes?.....oh...OH okay sure bye'' she says as she hangs up both Serena looked at her as she blush's ``oh that was the gu up front sounds like were going to the sky port to pick up a late add on to the party'' she says as things started moving
As the carriage moved through the city I talked with Serena and Dawn the two girls gave me some good advice and tips they even asked how there husbands to be were ding I told them there both doing good and were both out on a mission same for Chloe after I say that both Dawn and Serena look at me with looks in there eyes I did not like ``so Bell when are you going to ask her?'' Dawn says as Serena giggles as I blush ``um um I'm not sure what you mean Dawn you mean ask her out for dinner or tea?'' I say not sure how to respond to her I mean I know full well what she meant but my mind was running a mile a minute as I felt someone place a hand on my leg I look up and see Dawn and Serena both have a hand on my leg as both girls nod and Serena flashes' her sweet smile ``we know you love her Bell you will ask her when your ready'' she says as I nod ``yeah soon it will be soon'' I say and that got both girls eyes to widen
After a bit more time we made it to the sky port passing by the main gate we headed to what appeared to be a privet landing pad as the carriage came to a stop as we waited I heard the high pitched hum of a pair of mana drive engine's a bright glint of metal drew my eye to the south sky as a H-type sky yacht the craft came in low skimming the roof tops as it drew closer I saw it was a classic Fae Britain style the long round hull tapered to a point in the front the back was raised to three short flight fin's I had seen sky craft like this before when I was a scavenger/Junker but this one was in a dark phantom Gray the craft came around twice before coming for a landing the landing gear folded out from the hull
As the craft settled on the pad a boarding ramp extended and two figures made their way down one was in a black uniform a black and red cape trailing behind him the other figure looked to be a assistant who was a woman as the two got closer Dawn and Serena both looked ``oh wow it really is him'' Dawn says as I look at her ``who is that?'' I ask Dawn was about to respond but Serena beat her to it ``that's Julian Kingsley a Fey-Kin performer from Fae Britannia but he's also the head of Magic and Arcane sciences R&D for the Empire'' she says and my blood ran cold as the two reached the carriage I saw that Julian had violet eyes and black hair his assistant a very busty woman with red hair and blue/silver eyes as the carriage director stepped down and started talking with the two
After a few moments of talking the door was opened and the two claimed in as the red head got in Serena lend in close to me ``oh my that woman with Julian that's Kallen The Rose she's one of the top fairy type Fey-Kin performers in Fae Britannia what in the world is she doing here?'' she says as the door closes the two new comers let out a long exasperated sigh as the one named Julian took off his tie ``ahhhhh so stuffy and up tight I hate dealing with the airing boys of nobles'' he says as Kallen nods ``yeah but thankfully I think our carriage mates appear to not be the uptight type's'' Kallen says causing Dawn Serena and myself to blush at her words before the two of them started to laugh
That night at the Baron's manor house ``and there we have it the last team is set'' an announcer says as the last name is drawn as it stood I was on a four trainer team of Dawn Serena Julian and myself with Kallen as a back up after a bit of time we all sat down for dinner and talked about what we were going to do Dawn had a few good idea's Serena talked about our fashion to really make our team pop as Julian and I talked styles as Kallen typed everything out on a hand held laptop
The next day the five of us started to train for this night we had a short team tournament ``okay Belle try having Chip use Shadow ball then have Zephyr use fairy wind ``she says before looking to my right and down to Kyuubi ``now as for Kyuubi I know you told me that he has Shadow-Fey powers inside of him right?'' she says and the two of us node ``yeah my Omen has a fast array of moves that she had studied and found the origins of'' Kyuubi says as Kallen nods taken notes as I smiled down at the fluffy Eevee Vulpix hybrid before kneeling down and giving him a nice gentle rub down his back causing him to let out a cute veeeeeeepix sound before covering his muzzle with a paw before he gave me a dirty look that was followed by his cocky sexy smile
That night at the manor house I sat backstage doing some last minutia edits to Chip's halo gear outfit ``okay I think the lavender fits better with your colors Chip'' I say and look over the others Zephyr's looked good same for Kyuubi and Hathor after one last look over I sat down my as my mind was racing trying to come up some way to add something extra to our performance to get the points we need to get the last spot but nothing was coming to mind till I felt small paws on my head looking up I saw Hathor Chip Kyuubi and Zephyr giving me a hug `` you got his Belle'' came Hathor's voice as she nuzzles my cheek her soft worm fur a great comfort as she moves back I feel Hathor plant a kiss on my nose
Chip looked at me a smile on his muzzle ``yeah as my mate said you got this Belle all that practice we did last night and today I feel we can get the win for our team'' he says as I smile at him and reach out to rub is fluffy cheek as Kyuubi and Hathor giggle and Zephyr smiles ``well that is our mate Chip always knows just what to say to inspire others'' he says as I stand up ``okay lets go out there and give them a show to remember'' I say as we head to the stage
Later that night the lights shine bright as news stations covered the event the after party was in full swing but I was not partaken I ran the performance in my head for the not sure for how many times it was the last part I had Kyuubi and Chip use burst form's Chip had taken on the colors of Hathor and Kyuubi had taken on the form of a Ninetails the two of them looked stunning then I had them use two attack moves before Zephyr used the move that Kyuubi had shown him causing the ball of energy to burst into a dazzling flower as little red/gold pink and silver petals started to fall to thunderous applause and the panel of judge's started handing out points I had received two ten's in a row that was all I needed to get the team in the last spot but as it reached the last three judge's a buzzer sounded and the stage went silent
One of the judge's a tall woman with long black hair in a silver dress and wide brimmed hat the lights highlighted the rainbow feathers in her hat ``AH HUM AH HUM'' she says before looking me right in the eyes ``I demand that this performers score's up to the point I hit the buzzer be disqualified'' she says as a judge with an epic handlebar mustache speaks up ``on what grounds Duchess Fairwinter?'' he says as she go's AH HUM AH HUM again ``I believe its obvious Duke Stone if you used your eyes before so crassly handed out points to this low born Nobel from the lowest region treads of the veil'' she says as a new voice chimed in ``and you don't have the numbers to call for his points to be disqualified Duchess Fairwinter'' came the voice of an elegant elf woman with silver starlight hair a silk dress that hugged her curves but Duchess Fairwinter just smirks `` ah hum ah hum I will remind you lady Starmoon to speak my name and title with the respect it demands'' she says with contempt to the elf woman
As Duchess Fairwinter took a pull from a pipe then set her gaze on me ``now then as for you Belle Cullens your performance was indeed impressive but that move you had your Zoura and that hybrid use what was it called again?'' she asked I was fighting with everything I had not to tell this stuck up noble off but I had to hold back ``yes Duchess Fairwinter f..first of call their names are Chip and Kyuubi as for the move is called burst form it allows my Fe-Kin to take on the likeness of someone close to their hearts Chip has a few forms he can use as for Kyuubi's he's is a Ninetails that is a self image of what he hopes to be one day''
I say and I was happy to see her left eye twitch and a vain on her forehead stand out but she regained her composer rather fast ``I see I see but....i know there's more to it that is the power of a Shadow-Fey'' she says and points at me ``and you willfully brought three Shadow-Fey into our city I should execute you and your shadow-Fey right now as is my right as the family who defended our great city'' she says looking down at me my blood was on fire ``so what if there Shadow-Fey there my friends and I will stand by them to the bitter end and if you try and kill them I.....i will kill you too'' I say and summon my Engine Blade the weight of the short sword felt good in my hand I looked up at the woman as she started to laught ``ha ha ha HAHAHAHHAHAHHAHA I knew it I truly knew it you really are a low born and have no place in this contest I Duchess Fairwinter invoke my power as a judge and as a member of the councel of Noble's I hear by disqualify you are done''
Snapping back to the here and now raising my head ilooked around the table I was sitting at and still no mates in site ``they probably hate me right now'' I say to no one way did I let that witch bait me like that was one of the many thoughts running in my head as I was sulked the light started to dim noticing this I raised my head hopping to see one of my team mates but who I did see was a pretty lynx girl she was about my heightmaybe a bit taller with her ear tuff's she was really cute light brown fur with black markings under her eyes and tail tip with black head fur that was done up in a long braid that reached her waste she had on a pretty ice blue dress with a white shall around her shoulders a pair of pretty green eyes looks at me ``oh hi sorry were you looking for Dawn or Serena?'' I asked and she shook her head `` no I was looking for you Belle'' she says and sits down next to me a glass of wine in one hand
The Lynx girl looks at me a bit more before taken a sip of her wine it was brave of yu to stand up to lady Fairwinter'' she says ``your Fe-Kin must be really proud to hae you as there trainer'' she says as I sheepishly rub my neck''um...yeah I'm not sure if they are we worked so hard to make that preformenc look amazing and what do I do?'' I says as she watch's me ``I let some.....some one get under my skine and I lash out at them......some trainer'' I say baring my face in my hands after a moment I feel a hand o my leg and I look to see the lynx girl ``you did what you felt was right Belle yu defended your Fey-Kin you defended your team'' she says and reaches into a pocket and pulls out a card and hands it to me looking at the card I look up at her ``rouge diamonds?'' I say and she nods ``my names Nicole and I think my team can help you'' she says
