The second roar was even more monstrous than the first, making the ground shake and everypony's hearts pound. In the rush of the whole incident John was checking his weapons and ammo. Storm rifle showed to be at 68% charge, enough to help with another bear if that was the case. The case was settled when John came face to face with the largest living thing he has ever seen, another bear over twice the size of the last bear. Trying to help John Twilight screamed: "John get out of its, it's an ursa major!"
John was standing still staring at the new crimson colored enemy. The major looked at the dead body of it's offspring and roared in defiance and agony over losing its loved one. The roar was so loud in fact that even Celestia herself heard the menacing cry over the entire distance. When the ursa was finished bellowing it turned to John and gave him the "You're gonna fucking die," look. John took that as a compliment, the blue ursa was no easy task to take down. John felt however that he was at an extreme disadvantage compared to the older ursa because the ursa major was magnitudes larger than the thirty foot tall beast that lay dead. John looked at the pelican and back at the ursa. John put his new quickly thought out plan to action with an order. "Distract this thing I have an idea!"
"Are y'all crazy! It'l tear us to pieces!" A shocked Applejack responded.
"Just do it!" John commanded.
Applejack and the others fallowed his demands and started to gain the attention of the ursa major. While they were distracting the mega-beast John was running for the pelican cockpit. Instead of flying the ship, he decided to use the top mounted turret, a new feature since he was last out of cryo. The new model of the UNSC battle pelican came with a pilot operated machine gun and spartan anti-vehicle laser. The side man-operated cannons took after the falcon battle aircraft from the Invasion of Reach. And the top turret was the infamous scorpion tank main turret. With this weaponry available to him, John would have an easier time taking out the ursa major. When he reached the cockpit John jumped into the upper seat which controlled the top cannon. With precise aim he readied the shot and let loose a 90mm explosive round into the ursa's head. When the smoke cleared all that could be seen of the major's head was the side that John didn't shoot. With a sound as loud as thunder the gargantuan beast came tumbling down onto the ground. 'Why didn't I do this before?' he thought. He unhitched the cockpit and jumped out, greeted by five ponies. Fluttershy had passed out and laid on the ground where they were safe from the ursas earlier.
"John, how did you kill an ursa major?!" a shocked Twilight burst out.
"It was what I was trained to do."
"Dear why did you though? Twilight could have done what she did to the last one that arrived in Ponyville a while back." Right as Rarity stopped talking a large white flash appeared out of nowhere and blinded all but John. When the flash dissipated an enraged Celestia and Shining Armor along with his fairly new wife, Cadence, were trotting towards John.
"John do care to explain yourself here!" Celestia barked.
"I saved us from these ursas. Nothing else would have helped us in this situation ma'am."
"We don't kill here John, not the wildlife not the citizens. Do you understand?" Shining cut in.
"What if I don't?" John tested.
"Try me, I dare you." Shining relayed.
"Gentlecolts please calm down. I am sure we can handle this in a civil manner." Rarity but in.
"I would love to start," John replied, "I only did this to save your subjects and your sister. If I didn't they would be morsels for worms. If you don't like it what are you gonna do about it, prissy colt." John had pulled on Shining's last nerve causing the enraged colt to shoot out magical bolts of energy. John easily avoided all of them and continued to taunt. "You can't do anything. You're weak, pathetic, and most of all...worthless." Shining shot another volley of magic at John. More intense than the last. Again they were all avoided easily by him. "Why do you try, has Celestia even told you what I did for a living?" as John kept talking he was now taking action and throwing some punches and kicks in for more of a show. "I am a soldier the best in the galaxy." His fist made contact, cracking a rib or two in Shining's chest. "I have killed more than you can count." Another punch was delivered to Shining's side cracking another couple ribs in the process. "And I can kill you... but I won't." John's last kick made impact with Shining's jaw rendering the Captain 'down for the count'. "Because I don't need to." When John finished his speech he was hit with multiple shots of magic which brought his shields down by about 3%. John turned his head to see Twilight as angry as the ursa major was.
"Why would you do that!" She exclaimed.
"To show you the hell that I and over a hundred others have gone through. You see how easily I was able to break him, I was a child when this shit happened to me and I damn well plan on using my skill and knowledge in the battlefield and off the battlefield to help me when I can." John turned and walked back to the pelican and returned the storm rifle and any other equipment he had on him back to the pelican. When he got out he was surrounded by the six mares who used to call him friend but now called him foe. They all donned special looking jewelry, Twilight's was especially more dazzling than any of the others fancy necklaces. Celestia and Cadence were tending Shining while the mares in front of him were lighting up, as if they were charging.
