The Arbiter. That is merely his title, nothing more. He has no name, no family, and no future... until now.
This Arbiter, he who was born of hate and wrath, thought no creature, let alone a mere human, could ever best him in combat. But, he was wrong. In the events of the Halo wars campaign, the Arbiter fought sergeant Forge multiple times, each time suffering a heavier, more degrading defeat. And at last, just when he thought he had the pestilent human, the gods suddenly turned their wrath upon him for his failures, and he failed against the little human, and perished on the shield world containing the forerunner fleet... or so he thought.
The gods he followed may have forsaken him on that day, but another, more fun power gave him another chance, to begin again, in a new world of its choice. However, that power failed to specify the Arbiter's new purpose, and dumped the belligerent sangheilli into a world that tests his very patience every moment of every day. Will he finally discover the source of true peace here, in this colorful, pony-filled world, or will he burn the fetid, cutesy, scum-sucking, human-loving planet to its bedrock!?
...Probably the latter.
(just to let you know im experimenting with the quote option to see if im correct about its use) oh buddy you would be shocked
and im correct
it seems like he has some problems.
3822962
He was in prison for a fourth of his life.
Yeah, he has problems.
oh...this looks like its going to be rather interesting...
And yet he still kills things
He needs to 'calm down'
NOT!
moar!
Is this thel vadaam?
3823807
No, this is Patrick.
Nah, seriously, this is Ripa 'Moramee, the arbiter from Halo Wars. He was kind of a thug.
3823823 haven't played halo wars now I have to. Fuck you
3823831
You're welcome.
3823841 *burns down his house family friends and pets*
3823849
Dude, your house is burning. Did you at least save the weed?
That moment when you forget about the Halo Wars Arbiter...
3823892
He wasn't a very memorable person.
3823858 weed? I'm a fucking robot
3823905
Cyber-weed?
The Arbitar!?

Must read soon argh
Must read now

Moar
Surprised no one posted the fight scene yet
3824245
I remember that cut-scene; I would replay it every time I played Halo Wars. Fuckin' amazing.
AUTHOR! BEFORE YOU READ THIS I MUST SAY!
denver.mylittlefacewhen.com/media/f/rsz/mlfw5378_medium.jpg
Now you may continue! And remember this is all constructive!
A tad bit repetitive, don't ya think?
Excessive and's.
This is supposed to be no :P
The start is kinda iffy, I've seen very similar in other stories. The way the Arbiter acts seems to match his character in Halo Wars, however I would choose to add a tad bit more to his personality then just hate, anger, indifference and more hate. Furthermore, the Arbiter, as I would assume wouldn't speak his plans out loud in an unknown environment. While of course he probably has a very big ego considering he is The Arbiter, I would think that as a soldier and battle planner he might have more caution and self control. Another thing, wouldn't the Arbiter speak his native language instead of English? (Unless the ponies speak his native language) Or they could just speak the same language, ya know, a lot of authors who focus more on the 'adventure' and 'action' Just skip that part.
Also, when Rainbow hopped in front of him, with the way he treats his subordinates and how his thoughts seem to be completely matriarchal in nature. I would've assumed more violence would've been caused by those blades of his. I also find it slightly odd how he doesn't question how his clothes change in that alternate world with Sheogorath. My final thought would be, with how 'manly' the Elites treat themselves, how in the hell would an Arbiter know or remember (even compare) something to a cartoon.
3824794
I'll fix all that later, but I thank you for pointing that all out.
3824003 Agreed
3824726 Who wouldn't this was by far (in my opinion) the best cutscene in all of Halo
3824840
Your welcome :)
Ripa 'Moramee.
3825408 That phrase symbolizes the fact that he is nothing more than the prophets' instrument. He has no life beyond the service to the prophets.
Oh dear. Oh dear, oh dear. You picked the wrong Arbiter. I wanted the wise Halo 2 arbiter to come in and be all "Companionship!" and stuff. Moramee here seems shallow. But that might just be personal preference.
You're not doing too horribly right now. Keep at it and keep the characters within believability and we might learn to live with each other. If you kill Applejack, though, I'll have to gut you.
3824245 Forge was a badass and Red team doesn't take shit from some punk ass Elites.

There will be no use of the white font color on my stories!
3826391 It's not white! It's merely a very light grey!

I care not for your trivial technicalities! Use it again, and I will lay upon you the fire of a thousand hells!

Sucks to be you, Zalgo.
Well I can see Ripa and the mane 6 are off to a great start
I don't know much about Halo, nor ever played the game, but this story looks awesome.
Can't wait for more! :D
3826493 what the hell is wrong with you?
3826373 ... oh yea .,. i forgot
SHEOGORATH IS IN IT.... I loved him in oblivion and in skyrim but more in oblivion. and now he's helping one of my favorite halo "villains" I'm faving so hard!
Ripa needs more love.
3823919 dumbass
If we came to hear him beg, we will be disappointed.
3825464 Oh, I see. Sorry, my bad.
A bit of a multi-crossover? The Arbiter. {Not Halo 2 Arbiter though.} An interesting set up?
All good points for me. Keep up the good work.
3822868
The should not be capitalized in the quote above.
I want to read this.
But Uberdeathninja made this.
Fellow bronies, I need your opinion.
