I sigh as I walk into the square my wolf's riding in an extra duffle bag I had their mother by my side, these.. ponies just stood by bidding anywhere they could watching eyes wide and filled with horror. Moving into what looked to be the central market there was a large blue and black cart parked in front of my destination a large oak tree turned into what looked like a house. As I move past that I see two of these ponies that wear blue armor that looked like it never saw a fight they had what looked like bat wings to their sides as soon as they saw me they yelled for the princess to get to safety and rushed to me.
I deadpanned and stiffened as I heard growls below me, lowering slowly I held the mother wolf I named May from attacking. "STOP, I mean you no harm I only wish to speak with Twilight Sp-" the air is sucked from my lungs as one of the two tackle me to the ground. Luckily I was holding on to may and manger to push the pups away from where I would land or they all would be killed.
"Silence creature," one spat "I know a killer when I see one you're here for the Princess aren't you!" That's when I felt him press his sword to my neck, that's when i heard it a voice much like my AI's only a bit more life like.
"Release the doctor." As they moved off me I saw a rather large pony looking down at me her hair flowed with invisible wind, it looked as if the night sky was in her hair and tail the bright white specks looking like stars on a black canvas. She had silver cuffs on her hooves and walked with power.
As I stand I make sure every cub is all right, giving a sigh of relief that they are I turn to thank my savior. "Thank you Miss and before you take me captive I come in peace I only would like to talk to a Twilight Sparkles."
"We know why you are here Jones," wait how did she know my name and why did she sound so much like Luna? Damn my mind was filled with a thousand thoughts going at warp speed, it felt as if someone had fit the whole Pillar of Autumn in my head "We are Princess Luna you may know us as Luna the AI." I burst out laughing in front of a confused Luna and guards.
"You... AI... Lu- Luna!" I could barely breath my chest burned in need of air but my laugh over powered it, this was absurd a living being tapping into a system and becoming and AI was this some twisted joke was I in a simulator? My thoughts were cut short as something contacted the side of my face and a pain replaced it. Was I just slapped with a hoof? I looked up to see a annoyed Luna and confused guards.
“We are telling the truth Doctor now, please if you would Twilight would like to see you.” She waves a hoof at the literal form of a tree house.

“Chief? Chief wake up!” Cortana’s voice rang through his helmet and echoed inside his head, groaning he moved his stiff body feeling his armor loosen up after hours of being still.
“Sitrep Cortana.” he looked around the place was hell on Earth or rather Onyx craters from debris scattered the once lush forest as the Covenant cruisers loomed overhead Men and women screamed in pain as the Covies slowly wiped them out with little to no resistance.
“We lost Onyx Chief best bet now is to move into Zone 67 and blow whatever is there.” He pondered this and found himself running to the nearest armory looking for C4. After gathering enough to take out a Covie cruiser he ran past the gates that held the horrors of Zone 67 back.
“Cortana run a scan see if we have any activity out here.” As the radar scanned he soon found the portal that lead into Equestria, sighing he started placing C4 around the base in hopes it would close it.
“All clear Chief looks like they have not found this yet.” nodding he sighed if he stayed it would be a one-way trip but if he jumped into the portal he risked not being able to blow it.
“Cortana if I jump what the chance I could blow it from the other side?” His voice took up a concerned tone.
“Well Chief I don’t know what’s on the other side, there fore I can’t tell you.” sighing he knew it was the only chance of survival he jumped in and tumbled into the lush grass of Equestria.
“I hope this works…” He pulled the trigger and a green light winked noting that it blew, sighing he turned to see four confused Spartans. “Where the hell am I?” but one thought stuck in his mind had i worked?

Tom wished he had taken back the way he treated the doc, he had raised them almost gave them snacks and taught them battle tactics and school subjects, he was like a father to him but that was in the past he could not take them back now. It had been twenty-five minutes since he had left and Foxtrot had been doing their normal routine; guarding, cooking, cleaning, and checking supplies.
Tom often thought of Onyx how him and Kelly would run through the forest’s at night and how the doc always snuck them treats at night before the went to sleep. he smiled under his helm looking out into Ponyville, as the sun beat down it’s heat filling the world with light. He looked to his right to see his team talking and telling stories of Onyx and competing for ‘I did the worst.’ He knew he would not likely get home none of them did but until they had a straight answer there was hope.
He was snapped back into reality as the portal let yet another soul into this world the turned guns pointed ready for the Covent only to see another Spartan tumble out and press the trigger of a C4 detonator. Wait was this the Chief he was a fucking legend he killed thousands of Covies and took out cruisers.
“Where the hell am I?” the Spartan asked in a deep voice, yep definitely the Chief.
