There is a legend. A legend of six heroes destined to protect Equestria from danger. But these six are not the Elements of Harmony. They are more.

The Steadfast Commander.
The True Genius.
The Vigilant Eye.
The Merciless Wrath.
The Fighting Spirit.
The Lone Wolf.

They are the true Protectors of Equestria.
They are the Guardians.
They are Noble.

Alright, so here is the story I have teased on my blog, The Noble Guardians! If you already guessed the concept, good for you! But for the rest of you, this is a Halo: Reach Crossover. I have seen a couple fics in which Six or Jorge are brought to Equestria, but they were always alone, so I decided to bring them all together as one. This will follow the show's storyline, with Noble acting as additional characters to the episodes, but don't worry, I guarantee they will be major characters with their own arcs and there will be plenty of original situations. I will also most likely skip any episodes in which Noble would have little to no involvement. (This will be few and far between, one example being "Call of the Cutie" I mean, even the Mane Six are only minor characters in that episode. I'll probably either mention those in passing or have another story going on with those episodes occurring in the background.) Anyway, see how Noble reacts to becoming Equestria's destined protectors!

Naturally, this story contains spoilers for Halo: Reach

They came to Earth in peace, all but looking for salvation. The world greeted them with open arms. The... Ponies... Were all nice and cheerful. Until... They wanted to take over the world, saying it is unfit for humanity. They attacked. They killed. They... Made humans into ponies. Humans fought back, but crumbled soon after. Except one. He fought with Queen Solar and Heaven King; Celestia and Luna's Mother and Father. He lost and was sealed in ice for two thousand years. Now he's back, and his trigger-finger is itchy for war.

BETA: Chaotic Pony

Everypony knows what happened to Princess Celestia, the bride and groom and the Elements of Harmony on that fateful day, but that can hardly be considered satisfying to those who are curious. Where were the rest of the guards? What was the Queen's army doing before the attack? And why in Equestria did Luna not help during the battle? All this and more shall be revealed!

[Wrote this before DS3, ending is probably not canon, but I had to modify the canon to integrate ponies into the storyline]
It is 2508. The USM Valor is armed and authorized to "rescue" USG Ishimura from the grasp of the Marker. Numerous cases of dementia start to appear in the crew members of the Valor along the journey to the Aegis system, especially in the Marine veterans onboard who have survived the horrors of the Resource Wars and colonial insurrections.

Meanwhile, across the universe, the Royal Sisters of Equestria funded a project to seek other sentient beings in the universe that have been directed along a path of havoc and destruction by Discord. Pinkie Pie, one of the "early-detection" staff, is accidentally transported onto the USM Valor around the time the destroyer's crew begins to experience its final moments, as they find something extremely foreign in one of Ishimura's escape pods....

One of the military personnel that had been deemed a Section 8 onboard the Valor soon narrowly escapes his demise, and, skating on the thin ice of his already broken sanity, meets the aformentioned pink pony in the blood-drenched decks of the crippled Valor.

To join is to survive, and in pieces we scatter.

BTW, it's a non-Isaac Clarke perspective

Observer Prime is given a new planet, a new life, a new choice. It's his job as an observer to research a planet for possible Federation contact.
Is something more sinister at play here?

Mort, also known as the Pale Pony (of Death), has been tasked to take time off from his rigorous duties of reaping souls. Seeking guidance, he is directed towards the town of Ponyville, to learn about the magic of friendship from Twilight Sparkle and her friends. All he needs to do is keep his true nature a secret. That shouldn't be too difficult...right?

Special thanks to Specter-Von-Baren and Pyrite Foolsgold for their help in proofreading and editing this story, as I really needed it. Additional thanks to Pilate, Chuckle5, Unimpressive Vagaries and Admiral Biscuit as well! Couldn't have done it without all their help!

A Romantic Story by Thorax

Every night when Pinkie Pie goes to bed, Pinkamina rises. Using the cryptic powers of the Pinkie Sense, she deciphers the clues and goes out to prevent the deaths of others. Meanwhile, the Stallion Lickity Split is developing feelings for Pinkie's darker half, and the Royal Sisters do NOT like Pinkamina messing with fate.

After a run-in with Trixie at a strip club, Clear Sky can't stop thinking about the beautiful blue mare. When Trixie stops showing up for performances, however, the pegasus stallion knows that all is not well. Now, he must go through many trials and tribulations to save the mare of his dreams from an evil pimp.
(inspired by many episodes of "The Boondocks" for some reason)
