If you like Halo AND MLP:FIM you may wanna keep reading

Events in this story take place after the events of Halo 4 Spartan Ops, but before Twilight becomes an Alicorn.

(please note, im juggling a few things, so this story may take me a while. But i figured, what the hay? how else can i spend those free hours in my week?)

Disclaimer: I do not own MLP:FIM or Halo and this story is not an official continuation for either franchise. The real owners are Hasbro, Bungie, Microsoft Studios, and 343 Industries. Give them due credit for the characters, locations, and starships they created.

(Status Update 12/29/2014): Sequel status in doubt. Although considering renaming the sequel based on the name of a song from the band Muse and the song itself (source of some inspiration) I'll let you guys guess in the comments page below the sequel what song inspired me to give the sequel more time and basically, you know, give it a chance. :)

Now with a SEQUEL!!

An unexpected event happened in Crystal Empire and quickly spread all over Equestria. Unfortunately, the same thing happened to the youngest ranger in the Army Ranger.

When he and his friends are sent to Afghanistan to fight alongside each other and their main objective is to capture one of the ISIS base in a town, they suddenly got teleported into the 'beautiful' land of Equestria, where they met with colorful talking ponies. But everything didn't seem as beautiful as it looks like.

The rangers now are going to fight with a villain that his mission is to conquer Equestria. Luckily for them, they have technology far more advanced to fight the evil one. So, nothing could go absolutely wrong right? I hope so.

Rated T because contains hard languages.

(Undergoing edited)

Markus Becker is a Hauptmann, or Captain, of the German "Bundeswehr", mechanized Infantry. At least he was, until his armoured car hit an IED and he was sent to Equestria. There he found, that he couldn't move, no matter how hard he tried.
Luckily for him though, there is four-hooved help nearby...

'Sex'-warning added for a few sexual implications here and there... and because of chapter 32.

Added 'Gore' because I noticed that I went a little overboard with the descriptions of the action. Especially given that it is rated 'teen'.

North of the Crystal Empire, Chrysalis is a queen without subjects. Starved of love and affection, all hope seems lost until she finds shelter in something that can only be described as ‘alien’.

ISAEC Hurin Tascheter, an Exploration Cruiser for the Inter-Stellar Alliance, find a species of magic-using ponies deep in the Equuleus sector. Problem is, their uncompromising enemies, the Ratzis, found them first. How much of a head start do the Ratzis have on the ISA? The fate of Equestria is in their capable hands. Or hooves, or wings, or whatever...

Advances in science and magic had detected the Anomaly – a star in the heavens that was unlike all the others in the night sky. Intense research had only served to deepen the mystery. Although Equus had a vibrant space program, going forty-two light years to investigate had been considered impossible until now. The Cosmic Lotus program was born, and over a hundred crew-members of multiple species were sent into the void to discover the unknown. After a journey of years, what they would find would both amaze and terrify them.

The prequel to this story is the "Ad Astra" arc in the story – "Life, Love, and Death in the House of Path".

This will be a crossover story with my "Chakat Universe".

After an unexplainable storm consumes two Boeing C-17s during a routine sortie over the Arizona desert. Freelance Journalist, Frank Hugh, and a company of armed soldiers find themselves literally crash landing into Equestria. With no knowledge of survival or any combat training, Frank must find a way to cope and survive in a new world while trying to find any other survivors before the land's inhabitants take him.

War. Noun. (1) : a state of armed conflict between different nations or states or different groups within a nation or state.

"Soldiers are always preparing to fight the previous war" is a saying that is common amongst those of military profession. Equestria has not seen a war on her own soil in several hundred years. As such, would she be prepared for when such a thing happens? Of course not.

Battling the griffons and the minotaurs has been a challenge due to lack of experience. Fortunately, her armies adapted and started to hold her own. That was, until Tirek returned and aided in the fight to defeat Equestria. To keep his friends safe, Discord successfully defeated Tirek and sealed him away. The cost of fighting Tirek? Dying. Knowing that he would die, Discord summoned several creatures to protect his friends. These creatures, never seen before in Equestria, are very familiar with the concept of war.

This world has experienced their second industrial revolution and Equestria is at war, a World War, the first this world has seen. Equestria and her citizens have a lot to learn if they want to see the end of this conflict with their culture and way of life preserved.
