//------------------------------// // Chapter Seven: Hail to the Chief // Story: War To Peace // by Corgi King //------------------------------// "I need a weapon." ~Master Chief to Cortana (1030 HOURS, NOVEMBER 6, 2552 (MILITARY CALENDAR) \ SPACE UNKNOWN, PLANET EQUESTRIA \ MISSION CLASSIFIED \ CELESTIA'S STUDY) She paced around hoping for some news anything just even that her plan failed. Glancing around he looked at the book shelves that lined the walls and the large map sitting in the middle. Knock knock knock Her heart skipped a beat “Yes?” she asked putting a little too much enthusiasm in her voice. “Ah yes sister ho-” “WHERE IS HE?!” Luna yelled as she entered glaring daggers at her. “Dear Lulu who do you mean?” she asked wondering who she meant. “Don’t Lulu me, we know you took him where is he, the human!” Wait human? was this the creature Twilight wrote to her about or was her sister going mad… again. “Luna stop you’re talking like a mad-mare!” she retorted only getting a huff out of her. “We will see sister but in the mean time where is the human… or “creature” as you and Twilight call them?” There it is, so they do call themselves humans, but how would she know? (1020 HOURS, NOVEMBER 6, 2552 (MILITARY CALENDAR) \ SPACE UNKNOWN, PLANET EQUESTRIA \ MISSION CLASSIFIED \ GOLDEN OAKS LIBRARY) After getting a face full of hoof I sighed, there is no way this ‘thing’ was Luna, well I can at least let her explain why she is crazy, moving to the bright red door I slowly push it open only to hit the floor not two seconds later. Darkness fills my vision as I hear voices above me I groan in pain and try to open my eyes only to see a bag being placed over my head, my world was now only a dizzying blackness I soon passed out. cough cough “God damn my head what the fuck….” my brain was pounding I could not hear myself think let alone say anything. As I open my eyes my headache intensified ten fold a bright light shone above me it looked as if i was back on harvest getting interrogated by the cops, the walls are a cream gray and there what i think a one-way mirror placed in the wall giving the impression I was alone. I tried casually waving to who ever was behind the glass only to find my hands to be in what looked like handcuffs but looked as if they were meant for something bigger no doubt the ‘ponies.’ After what seemed like hours only to be ten minutes the same pony came in from before her dark hair… er mane withering behind her, she smiled like she had just won a battle after her came in a similar pony in build only standing a little taller, yet she still had wings and a horn. Her coat was a cream white her hair a spectrum of colors yet like ‘Luna’ still had a plasma effect to it. She held her head low and wore a frown. On her flank? was a sun. Form this forth on you shall be known as Sun Butt… or maybe Burnt Ass… hmm I will need time to think. “We must apologize for our sister Doc.” I looked up to see ‘Luna’ giving what I think to be her sister a frown “She seems to think Team Foxtrot was a bit too hostile and sent a team to collect them, but they took you instead.” Not knowing what to do I simply nodded dumbfounded on how she knew of Foxtrot. Then it hit me like trying to remember that name of a TV show then it suddenly popping up out of know where. “Y..You’re Luna, it’s true… you’re her…” I remember her smiling and a small look of confusion on her sisters face. My mind went a million miles an hour if she was real AND an AI how did she do it? Maybe a hack from a droid or a usb plugged into the server… an external wiring that could easily be slipped into the main console “But… I…” Slowly I forced my mind to slow before I gave myself an ulcer “Fuck it I’m bloody done with logic.” Getting only a giggle(?) from Luna. “Now Doc please do tell us why.” She held a smirk on her lips well what looked like a smirk. I’m really starting to get sick of these ponies. “Well for one you hacked into a UNSC military system with no one finding out and we believed you were an AI. Luna smirk only grew larger “Hook, line, sinker. You know at first I thought you would notice only to see you were too caught up in training Foxtrot, and to think just when I was going to say how smart you are.” This caused me to give her a deadpanned look “Glad to see your sense of humor was not fake Luna. Now if you will be so kind i think I would love to return to whatever hell hole i will be staying in.” and with that my mind finally caved in and I hit the metal table unconscious.. this is starting to get real annoying.
