The date is September the 19th 2552. The Halcyon class Cruiser "Filly of Autumn" exits a slip space jump after fleeing the Covenant's destruction of Reach; a Pony colonised planet on Equestria's doorstep that once thrived with Naval activity.
On the other side of slip space, the Filly of Autumn and the thousands of Ponies aboard her discover a mysterious alien ring world, as well as a new batch of Covenant warships.
As the Covenant board the Autumn with the intent of destroying it, Captain Rarity orders the soldiers and personnel to abandon ship, including the ship's AI, Twilight. Only one Pony on board is eligible to keep the AI Twilight safe, but she isn't exactly... "war material." Follow her as she is given the herculean task of protecting Twilight from the might of the Covenant juggernaut and the evil that lies in wait on the ring, with help from her friends and fellow Ponies who will give anything to protect her.
Pinkie Pie should be Jenkins
Needs a little editing, but it's good.
4551018 Somepony else is Jenkins. If you stick around long enough to find out who, I doubt you'll be dissapointed
Thanks for the feedback btw!
That's mah birfdai!!
4574826 Well then a happy birthday to you! (In another hundred or whatever days)
4576993 Yey.
Also, Hi world!
4579868 Hi world! I like my little pony! Are you proud of me?! No? I thought you'd be proud of me
This is a somewhat faithful retelling, I'm glad you didn't _______ Vinyl and Octavia like in the Pony Lisa. I also like the change back to the original Covenant for this story.
But, what happened to Fluttershy, you put her through hell. You put. Fluttershy. Through hell. You made Fluttershy cry.
4584912 It was fun writing Covenant, but I do miss Gilda. And Fluttershy is my fave Pony so it's always hard to write bad things happening to her. Especially that one scene from Pony Lisa. That was awful
4585198 That must have been. "'You’re… going… to LOVE ME."' I don't know how the flood did that, but no. Just...no.
4581246 You like ponies, I like ponies, what's not to be proud about aside from our obvious 'emasculation' for liking ponies? Naw, we're manlier than all those jocks in the locker room for admitting that we like something not normally associated with men. Of course, we can never be manlier than a loving father (happy birthday, Dad). Iz mah dadeh's birfdai toodai.
4589525 Tell yer pops I said happy bday. He cool with the whole brony thing? That's cool. About as cool as monster trucks on fire!
4589779 Aw, man, tha's hot! Also, he himself is a brony. Proof that even a former Spetsnaz agent can enjoy little colorful balls of "d'aaww!"
4590592 Spetsnaz? I have absolutely no idea what that is but it sounds cool
I liked this chapter, especially how Twilight has to do some of the things Fluttershy isn't willing to.
However, and this has nothing to do with your story, I just got done reading everything Past Sins related by Pen Stroke, so Ii can't tell whether I'm happy, sad, both, neither, or something else, so that may be clouding my judgement just a little bit. And by little I mean about the size of an Ursa Minor. Speaking of which, what are we gonna see on Halo? Who will Sergeant Johnson be portrayed by? Perhaps Apple Jack or Rainbow Dash? And how will Fluttershy, Pinkie, and Twilight deal with the flood? So many questions...
4652490 Lol I'm glad yer liking it so far! And the when the Flood come, well, that's when the real fun begins
Do you want me to answer those questions, or would you rather find out for yerself? The answers could be a lil spoilery, y'know.
Guessing match, go (Though there might be spoilers ahead)! AJ is Johnson
, RD is Foehammer 
(I mean, who wouldn't make that connection?), Trixie is 343 Guilty Spark 
, Big Mac is Jenkins or someone like that 
, and the CMC... I don't know. They are so hard to predict that, I just don't know.
Now if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna go find a version of Past Sins to get on my kindle, because as we all know, emotional stories are the best for long road trips
4655385 I hear that! And yer so right about some o' those, but some are so wrong lol. It'll add to the surprise, I guess
4655416 I was right?!
*dies* I'm not as hopeless with guessing as I thought.
4655428 You'll actually find out the answers to four of them in the second mission lol. (Not the next chapter tho)
4655435 Everything but Guilty Spark huh? Hmmm....
4655468 Dammit, I wanna correct you so much right now, but can't cos spoilers lol!
4695037 Shocked?
At that last sentence from the Autumn, yes. Also, not surprised because you can't tell me.
4699177 Y'mean that pink text? That's just something Pinkie said in chapter 2, lingering in Fluttershy's mind lol. And one of you're questions has been addressed by the new cover art
4699801 Yeah, I'm not very happy that Trixie isn't the monitor. She just, seems so perfect for the role, all condescending towards the Master Chief/ Fluttershy, believing themselves to be great (Monitor quote: "Ah, I am a genius *chuckles*") and turning out to be a liar in the end (well, pseudo liar in the 343's case. He did say that Halo would eradicate the flood, he just didn't specify how).
4699823 You talk sense mate, but making Trixie a part of the team is one of the funest things I've ever written lol. The banter and arguments she gets in with some of the other ponies is hilarious
As for casting Spark, I did consider Discord, cos of course Discord can trick n' troll and just plain mind-fuck. Did I choose him tho?
4699875 The world may never know... wait, it will when the chapter gets released.
4699886 Hellz yeah
4699920 So then who would Discord be? He wouldn't be...GM would he?
4699938 Sorry, can't tell you lol. Hell, he might not even be in the story?
4700047 GM was never ever seen in the first one, but he was in the second, and if anything, I would think you would continue this series of ponyfying Halo. Can't wait to see Halo 4 if that comes to fruition.
4700053 Thanks yo. It's awesome that you want that. There definately won't be a Halo 4 crossover (well, not from me) but I have been debating Halo 2. However, if I did rewrite Halo 2, it would be a fresh start and wouldn't continue on from this story. This cos Elites would have to be Griffons again so I have a character for the Arbiter. Also cos any characters that get lost in this story would have to come back. I'd be better off letting someone else write it lol
4723923 Lol well it could mean that, or it could not.I have added my own lil twists to make it original
We'll have to wait 'til the grande finale!
Thanks for the watch and/or fave btw
4724195 I read the finale part as grenade instead of grande
4730353 The grenade finale? Well, I suppose there are grenades involved lol.
4734739 So...Many...Grenades. I died multiple times trying to make the Autumn go Wildcat, and it's because I could never make the grenade throws. I know they were easy, but 8 yr old me had no concept of distance or conserving ammo. Grenades and bullets flew everywhere, just to kill a lonely grunt.
4747434 Lol same. I could've grabbed a launcher from the armoury, but after what you encounter there, I doubt I'll ever go back
4751765 Oh God, you're right. Wait... Do you think Fluttershy is gonna have to go in there? Because what be in there is... No.
4754459 Well, I know if she goes in there or not, so I'll just leave that for y'all to find out when it comes
Flutters? With a sniper rifle? Nnnnnnope.
4800797 Don't worry, she hasn't used yet lol. Like Twilight said: "You might not even have to use it."
4695037 Knowing Pinkie, she'll be back.
4804638 Question is; when?
"Hey! My aim is just fine! I'm so good at aiming; I can aim everywhere at once!"
The best line ever :D
4840168 Lol I wondered if you were following this. Yeah I'm proud o' that line
And I can't wait to publish the Flood chapters 
HOW DO I SET IT TO MEDIUM DARK?
4904711 Click on "formating" (top right). Then click "light" n' select "medium dark"
