//------------------------------// // Chapter 2 // Story: Halo: PARALLEL // by Secondchancer //------------------------------// (Hospital 3 days later) "Yes after running a few test on his body we can say three things about him princess," Doctor Stiches said as he looked over the charts the nurses had just handed looking up he could see the three princess and the elements of harmony looking at him "Okay 1. His body is built.........bigger than a normal ponies from what we can guess his muscles are extremely dense and tough, his bones are covered in a carbon steel like substance its not like anything we have ever seen before, 2 He is an omnivore from what we got from his DNA and the examination over his body, 3 His DNA is a hybrid strand with pony and something else what we can't tell but-" "Doctor we just got his blood test back.......you should see this." Nurse Redheart said looking at the princesses specifically Twilight walking away quickly she went back to work "OH thats unexpected." "What are you talking about ?" Twilight said looking at the doctor who looked up and seemed to be thinking "Doctor what is it ?" "Ms. Sparkle when we received him three days ago we have run many test but yesterday i asked to run some blood see if he is in the system and if he has relatives." "WELL DOES HE !?!?" "Yes......and it can't be right.........your related to him from the test we can guess he is your son." "WHAT !!!!!" Twilight yelled the doctor took a step back clearing his throat he held the clipboard out to the mare looking it over the charts, writing, and ETC all said that he was a Sparkle family member and her son "But thats impossible i've just started to see someone...........and he is older than me from the looks of things." "WE ran that he is 25." "Yes see three years older so how is this-" "Twilight my student deep breathes we can ask him when he wakes up." Celestia said walking up to her student and placing a hand on her shoulder clearing her throat Nightmare Moon mumbled "If i may suggest we all could go into his mind and ask him." "What you can't-" the doctor tried protesting only to be cut off by one of the elements of harmony who jumped in "Well you guys said he is in a coma like state and aren't people asleep in times like that ?" Pinkie said as she was in a lab coat and had cane everypony stared at causing her to giggle nodding the doc said "Yes but we don't know what he is dreaming about you all could be hurt !" "Doc we got this !" Rainbow dash said flying up to him smiling blushing she added "Also don't think i'd die before dinner tonight." Shaking his head Stitches agreed to let them in for 35 minutes but after that he would wake them up turning to leave he kissed Dash good bye and went to work. "My word Rainbow you sure know how to pick them." Rarity said smiling at he blushing friend nodding they all made there way into the room sitting/standing where there was room clearing her throat Nightmare Moon said "I don't know how this will go so be careful and stick together." they all nodded turning she began to weave the spell around the stallion and then themselves. (Shades mind) Looking out Shade watched the memories of his home him and Solar running through the town playing tag and hide and seek with there friends smiling he saw his mother and father laughing and having a good time. Standing up he slowly went through the town he was familiar UNSC members strolled throughout the town, colonist, ponies, and hybrids all spending the time together sighing Shade clicked his fingers making them all disappear looking up he remembered the first time he cast a spell his mother was so happy and perplexed he couldn't help but laugh. "Whats so funny mister ?" he heard a bubbly voice turning he saw the elements of harmony, two princesses of equestria and a third alicorn he recognized from his mothers stories seeing the pink mare he smiled "Nothing just some old memories." "This is Ponyville but its not." Twilight said staring at a few UNSC stores in awe chuckling Shade turned looking to the sky he felt a tear fall down his cheek "Your right Twilight its not this is MY Ponyville from what you can guess I'm not from this world............well this dimension to be exact." "What does thou mean." Luna asked quite confused by the stallions word turning he smiled and motioned for them to follow him to a building that looked like a cinema "Come lets watch a movie." "OOOOOOHHHHH whats is about ?" Pinkie said jumping onto the back of the stallion who was unfazed by her weight or her landing continuing to walk he said "Me we are gonna watch some memories to try and explain who i am, where i came from and maybe how i got here." "SOUNDS GREAT !" Pinkie said as they walked opening the door he held it there for the mares getting thank yous from each of them watching them pass by Shade couldn't help but stare at the black alicorn that wasn't Luna sighing he spoke up "Before we go in a was a soldier so some of my memories my be.........a little violent." (A time later) Sitting in Shades 'house' the ponies began to ask questions and he answered them sitting back he rubbed he shoulder as it was sore. Chuckling he watched as his 'Mother' asked him question after question raising up a hand he said "Twilight you saw most of my memories you could go and re watch them but yes in a different world your a ONI agent and a damn good one your married to a human and have have three kids including me." "But its just crazy i mean-" "TWILIGHT please stop I'm tired now and i still am trying to figure out how I'm not dead." Shade said not sounding angry or annoyed just bored smiling sheepishly she said "Sorry but why should you think I'm dead ?" "Well front the memories you could see i was mere inches from a nuke and five feet from a slip space engine that tears into a rift in space.........so basically i should either be on a distant planet, asteroid, or floating in vacuum or just a pile of dust." "But here you are."Princess Celestia said eye the stallion that stood as tall as her he was built well lean and muscular from the t-shirt she could see some scars and a tattoo of sorts on his right forearm it read "SI VIS PACEM PARA BELLUM" and it was in such a way it looked to be branded onto his skin. Nodding he stood up and said "Well since this happened i can wake up." "Wait your still in a coma dude !" "Y-y-y-yes how are you going to-" (Hospital room) "Like this I'm a very powerful mage once you run your test you'll be able to tell." Shade said smiling at the stunned mares he crossed his arms and laid back down. Staring at the stallion the mares wanted to keep asking questions till they noticed his tired look turning he said "Sorry but i really need to sleep seeya guys tomorrow."
