Matthew never quite grasped the concept of "credit" very well. This proved even more so when he gets in a bit of money trouble with a few shady characters. After a mishap in his basement using items he bought off of borrowed money that was long overdue, he ends up in Equestria. Will he find that he doesn't want to leave this magical land or will he try and get away as quickly as possible. He knows whats waiting for him if he goes back but does he truly believe he can run away from his problems forever?

This is what I hope to be a very long tale of friendship, trust, intelligence and mustering the courage to face your fears. I truthfully only have a very very general idea of where I want to take this so bear with me and lets see what happens! I guess that's about it. I've never been very good at summaries.

Warning: This may contain increasingly foul language as it progresses and possibly some suggestive themes. I will be updating the content rating as I go but like I said I'm not 100% where this is going.

Props to my editor Laura and in some cases Talster and a close friend of mine not known to this site.

Ponies love order and predictability. They feel comfortable in a position of control over nature, weather, magic and the movement of the sky. Change is frightening. Perfection is paramount. When ponies begin to feel like they are losing control of these things and perfection is slipping out of their hooves, they look for something to blame. They are certain it can only be some malicious force of evil. Little do they know, their unwitting culprits will come falling right out of the sky. What ensues is a long and perilous struggle to reconcile the conflicting views and beliefs of two very different civilizations.

Its the dream that every brony asks for, to visit Equestria and the ponies that have grown close to their hearts. As an author I try to make that world through words but even I find that isn't enough and fall into a depression. A quick walk in the woods changes all that for me as I find myself in Ponyville!

Despite what the doctors keep trying to tell me.

(My own take on a self insert!)

A crossover between the Halo/Pony universes. It is centered around Richard B-294, a Spartan III part of a secretive Headhunter team; consisting of two men who often go on suicide missions into enemy territory. Richard is separated from his partner in an accident he can't remember and awakes in a strange ocean. Not knowing where he is he must survive using only his wits, weaponry, and help from candy-colored horses.

After the events of Season 2 of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, the six good friends gladly accept a calm state of peace and harmony that has seemed to settle across the land of Equestria. A new colt arrives from Canterlot University on a study-abroad program similar to that of Twilight Sparkle, and has no problems integrating himself into the tight circle of friends due to his near-perfect mannerisms, dedication to hard work, and surprisingly intellectual studies. The lovely status quo of Ponyville, however, starts to teeter out of balance because of everypony's possessive obsession with this new pony, and because a much darker enemy than anypony could have ever imagined begins to creep up over the veil of victory.

Matrix, Captain Matrix, that's all he's known as, nobody knows his real name, for its hidden by his past life so well that even he tends to forget,

19 years old, 19 years old and yet he's accomplished so much, but experienced things that nobody should go through at such a young age.

He became a pilot for the royal air force, performed well and made a reputation, made a few friends but was an outcast, a freak to most all because of what he was.

That didn't phase him, none of it, but what did though was the loss of the remaining family he could ever hold close to him.

Now, now he takes flight for the last time on earth, before approaching the brink of death and entering a new world, a world he could only ever think of being in his own dreams.

But what could happen to him here, here in this new world?

Who will he meet?

Will his life change for the better?

Or will he crash and burn again, just like before......

On hiatus until I find the time, effort and self esteem to re-write the entire story.

2022 REWRITE IN PROGRESS

After being rudely awoken from Cryo-sleep, John-117 finds that the Forward Unto Dawn has been sucked into a gravity well, causing it to fall towards an unknown planet. In the crash, he is separated from Cortana and falls alone into the Everfree forest. In addition to this new complication, old memories from a scarred and tragic past haunt his dreams, putting his remaining sanity on edge.

However, he has little time to ponder these thoughts, as he encounters the planet's... peculiar... inhabitants.

First 19 Chapters proofread by Bravo 539 and Shadownamesto.
Credit for the intro sequence goes to Blaze Spectrum.

Current rewrite will not necessarily follow the old story but certain events and details may be reused.

Metal 0-1 was thought KIA after the mission "Down the Rabbit Hole", sacrificing themselves to get the Russian president and their friends to safety. After awakening in a strange land, Sandman, Truck, and Grinch must piece together what happened after the mission, how they escaped alive, and how they are ever going to figure out a way back home.

*Note*
This is my first ever attempt at writing something along these lines, so overall it might not be very good.The idea just happened to pop into my head one day. I hope you all enjoy it, and I would appreciate it if you guys could give me some constructive criticism. Thanks!

(Attention: Permanently Cancelled) The UNSC Hastings crashes into Equestria's moon after a slip-space incident. The survivors make it to a pelican and crash-land in the Everfree forest. Their arrival throws Equestria into turmoil as an ancient cult plots its return. On top of that, a disillusioned officer in the Equestria military plays her hand.

Some things in this world happen by chance. Others do not. Twilight Sparkle is about to learn a disturbing truth that will turn her world upside down.
