//------------------------------// // Chapter Two: Super-soldier arrival // Story: Operation:Equestrian Assault // by SPkon107 //------------------------------// Chapter two: Super-Soldier arrival Location: Entering counter Earth’s orbit Date: October 19, 2552 Time: 7: 20 P.M Two days since the launch Dan was talking with his A.I will he was waiting to enter the atmosphere. “Lucy I know that we are facing something different but we have to do this we can kiss this world goodbye and our race will go straight to hell.” “107 I understand but you know I do not want to do this mission” she argued back. “Well too bad cause you are stuck with me till this mission is over.” “Very well I have no choice but I’m going in to sleep mode for five days after that you can wake me when you really need me” “Alright then I’ll wake you up.” As 107’s pod entered the atmosphere some Covenant troops thought that his pod was a meteorite that was falling on the night sky. But what he was not aware of is that the coordinates his pod had was about a mile away from Ponyville where the war has not touch the town yet but as they all know the war will come very soon. Most of the residents have left the town to get away from the war but some stayed behind. “Ahhh Twilight something landed near the Everfree forest!” the small dragon shouted. The purple unicorn was asleep but she woke up immediately and told her assistant Spike the dragon to call the rest of the elements. The pod was smoking and Dan pushes the pod door away and he jumped out and he looked around to see it there were any Covenant troops. As he was getting his weapons Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy were filing ahead and they flew behind a bush as the saw the metal object grabbing the rest of his supplies and he checked his HUD to analysis the planet and he said to himself. “Looks like the atmosphere of this planet contains oxygen and the gravity is the same as the Earth. I better check my weapons as well to see if they are working properly. He checked his assault rifle and then his pistol, but for the pistol he had to shoot a bullet just to be sure. When he shot the bullet Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash got scared and she said. “That’s it I’m not going to be killed by an oversize ape!” she flew to Danny as her attempt was to tackle him down. Clank! 107 turned around and said “What the hell?” Rainbow was rubbing her head thinking that tackling was a bad idea. “Ouch what the hay is this thing made of?” Dan picked her up by one of her forelegs just looking at her. “Hey let go of me you fucking oversize gorilla!” she shouted at him as she was hitting him with her hoof and Dan was confused that she was mistaking him for a Brute. “Oversize ape? What you think that I’m a …” Dan was bucked by Applejack’s brother Big Macintosh. Dan dropped Rainbow and looked at the red stallion then Applejack shouted at him. “Hey nopony hurts my friends!” 107 picked himself up and looked at the red horse. Her brother charged at him again this time Dan countered him, pinned him on the ground and struck him on the gut. Big Mac was hurt and injured on the ground. “Big Mac!” then he drew out his magnum at the ponies. He looked at the ponies as they just stood and a long silence came along. He noticed that they were all terrified. Then he sighed and walked to the injured horse as he took out his med kit. Applejack thought that he was going to finish him off. “Hey what the hay ya doing to ma brother?!” as she jumped on him as she look in shocked that he was healing him. “There just stay laying here or you will feel this pain tomorrow and it will be worse do you understand me?” it took a while for him to nod but he laid his head on the ground. He stood up and walked away. Twilight shouted. “Wait excuse me sir!” as Twilight shouted at him “Where are you off to?” “Where? Are you serious I’m off to fight the Covenant that is why I’m here?” “Wait what is a Covenant?” “You don’t know what the Covenant is. Then who do you think you are fighting.” “Wait the aliens is called the Covenant.” “No each alien has a specific name for their kind, but yeah the Covenant is the name of their military. “Then why are you here?” “I’m here to fight them.” “You fight them are you kidding me we need a miracle not one thing!” 107 looked at her and he walked up to her and said. “Well too bad because I am the miracle.” “Oh ok… I thought you were joking… but I only have one more question for you.” “Tell me lavender” “Um… are you alone or do you have an army along with you?” “For now I’m just alone but the UNSC will come along in abo…” he was cut off by a brute shot round. “Shit they found me take cover I will handle them!” one of the Brutes shouted. “Demon! You will not stop us on this plant!” He threw a spike grenade. The Spartan grabbed it and he threw it back killing a Jackal and two Grunts. 107 then took cover behind his pod he looked back making sure that the others were taking cover. Then he looked back as he heard a suicide Grunt running toward him he reacted fast and kicked the small alien back one of grenades landed on a Brute the explosion killed three Brute Minors and the other just broke his armor down. Then the armored human jumped out of his cover and he began shooting the remaining Covenant troops with his assault rifle. He drew closer to them. One Brute tried to strike him, but he duck and he struck him with the butt of the rifle and he stuck him again with his fist. When he turned he was hit by oversize hammer. “You thought I would let you live. I shall feast upon your remains! ” the oversize gorilla shouted at him. And 107 said to himself. “Shit a chieftain. I don’t have time for this I have to get to the other pod.” He got up and he dropped his rifle and he drew out his knife and he turned it upside down getting ready for combat. They stood from each other and the ponies looked to see what was going to happen. Rarity said to Twilight. “Um Twilight this is your definition of a miracle this soldier is just as bad as these alien ruffians.” “Hey what do you prefer that his military comes to our world to fight these aliens or for them to come and destroy us too?” “Well you do have a point.” They looked back at the two aliens and the two charged at each other as the Chieftain swing his gravity hammer Dan slide under it. While the ape tried to gain his balance 107 sliced the back of the Brute’s right leg as he fell on his knee; the super-soldier turned him around and stabbed him right on the head killing him instantly. His energy shield recharged as he turned to the ponies that looked at him scared so he said to calm them down. “Look I’m not her to hurt you ok I’m here to help you.” Now they felt relieved that someone else is an enemy to the Covenant. Twilight said to Dan “Thank you for saving us now with you here we feel safer knowing that you have fought these things.” “Look um…” “Oh sorry I forgot to tell you my name I’m Twilight Sparkle and these are my friends.” “Ok Twilight look I have been fighting these assholes for almost thirty years all that my kind wants is for this war to end but we will not surrender to the prophet. “Thirty years! You have been fighting the Covenant for thirty years?!” “Yeah” 107 walked to the dead Covenant Troops looking for grenades then about five minutes later Princess Luna landed and looked at the armored thing then Twilight called for her. “Princess Luna what are you doing here.” “Well Twilight Sparkle we are here to escort you to Canterlot. My sister needs your assistances at once.” Then she looked at 107 again and Twilight noticed. “Oh sorry your highness this is um… well he comes from another world and he has fought these aliens for almost thirty years.” “So thy is the one that has fallen to my world.” Confuse on the kind of English she was using but at least he can understand her. “Yes I am.” “Very well now we would like to know the name of thy warrior or what are thou?” “I am Lieutenant Spartan-107 from the United Nation Space Command Marines. I am a Spartan Super-soldier and I am here to help you fight the Covenant.” Confused Luna stood across from the Spartan wondering why he wanted to call his by a number. The elements stood across from Luna and the metal biped and Twilight noticed that Luna was wearing armor different from the royal guard. “Princess Luna what are you wearing your highness?” “Oh you have noticed my armor. Well as you can see we are wearing the Elite Royal Armor. This kind of armor has not been used since the War of the Known World. This armor in particular is ours but it had to be modified since our banishment to the moon and we grew. But now it is ready for battle. All of the troops in Canterlot have now been equipped with this armor. Including Celestia and your brother Twilight Sparkle.” Dan stood just watching the ponies communicate which was actually reminding him of the humans back home. “But your highness we have seen how the armor handles with the enemy’s weapons how is this armor any different?” All of the ponies were wondering how this armor was unique. “Well as we will explained the armor has a magical shield that can take the enemy’s weapons and more damage than the traditional one the Guards use, similar to the ones that the gorillas use.” Then Applejack said.” “Not to forget the one 107 uses as well.” Luna looked at him and asked. “Your armor uses shielding too.” “Yes but the only difference is that my shields are energy not magic.” “We have realized that when we first attacked the enemy but we want to know how much damage can our shield take and we would like you to test this knowing that you can fight these things on your home.” “So how do you want me to help you” he said curiously “Well our shields can take damage for the ape’s weaponry as we stated before but we want to know how much damage can in take in close combat so we want you to strike us.” “What? Whoa I only fight the Covenant not royalty!” “Well if you won’t attack us then we will attack you until your instincts kick in.” She used her fore legs to strike at the human but her attacks only did minor damage to him, but after a minute she turned around and bucked him causing more damage which surprised him she continued to buck him until Dan grabbed her and stuck her toward her face but the body shield took the impact. “Holy shit princess I’m sorry my instincts kicked in and I” the dark sapphire alicorn shook her head and said. “Not to worry my ally as this is what we wanted to test. It seems that the shields can take weaponry attacks but not very well with physical impacts. “Well now that we are all settle I have to go.” “Wait where in the hay you think ya going at this hour into the forest?” the orange mare asked in her southern accent. “Well if you did not notice I have to get to the other pod before my military come thinking that I have been killed and a full assault battle starts here as well.” “But 107 it is dark and the forest is not save.” Twilight said to him. “Not safe Twilight the forest is not safe with me inside there.” “But what about the creatures in the forest?” “I have faced far worse creatures in my time exhibit A.” As he was pointing at the group of dead Brutes. Then Luna said. “Twilight you and your friends go back to the town my royal guard are waiting for you at the library with your armor as well. Prepare yourself all of you, because his war is now ours. I will accompany our alien ally.” The night princess said. “Yes your highness come on girls let’s go, AJ I’ll help you with your brother.” As the purple mare went to help her friend with the injured stallion. “Thank you Twi. Good luck princess and I think you too 107.” As the both took their separate way Dan has just noticed that he only had slightly over two days before UNSC fleet arrives.
