John was sure that the Enery Projecter's beam must've murdered a few thousand ponies.
And he was going to make sure they got it back.
"Hey," he piped,"I have a plan to destroy those bastards."
Everypony anxiously listened to his plan:
"Phase one," he explained."We have to board it with a Phantom, they should fit in 27 ponies at most, but we really just
need us and a pilot."
"How about Scootaloo?" suggested Rainbow Dash.
"Well probably yes, well getting back to the subject, we have to scout around; you may have a problem with infantry, if
you feel insecure, then feel free to ask me to kill them all."
Everypony nodded.
"Phase three, destroy all vehicles, you don't want those idiots to send some more vehicles, as far as I know, CCS-class
battlecruisers can carry hundreds of vehicles."
Everypony's eyes showed a bit of insecurity, if this was what the human, or John-117 had to do all the time, then they would never think of the human armies as cowardly.
"Phase four, go to the bridge and kill the captain. Then steer it to crash into a deserted area and escape before it does. Is
it simple enough?"
"Uh huh," they all said in unison.
"Then let's go," John ordered.
Everypony but Pinkie and Dash were devoid of their confidence, this may be the day of their death, but on a brighter note,
it might not. But that wasn't enough to assure them.
"Come on," he tried to sound assuring.
"Don't worry," Cortana said in the most soothing voice she could imagine.
"W-who's that?" Twilight wore a fairly startled expression.
"Cortana," he informed them."She's an A.I."
"What is a A.I?" asked Twilight, getting a sudden interest in all this human stuff.
"Uh..." John knew the easiest way was to just say Artificial Intelligence, he came up with something else.
"It's kind of like a person with no physical form, though they really are just programs, some of them have limited memory,
some have expendable memory, and this one, is one of the expendable ones.
He took out Cortana's data chip and showed her.
Her cyan body, and a few dark blue stripes stood out. Her tall, slender body stood on the chip, even though she was
actually only three inches tall.
Then John realized that he was getting carried away, he almost blushed, he was somehow, getting comfortable with
these ponies who he had only knew for 18 hours.
"Well let's go to the Sugarcube Corner..." he muttered. (The Elites were beginning to use it like a base)
"Wow," sighed Twilight, almost completely ignoring the Chief."Like someone without a physical form."
They trotted outside and dashed down the street, they were going to deal with this threat soon enough.
The streets of Ponyville were rather barren at the moment, it only took a few hours for the word to spresd that aliens were
invading, and some were on their side. That wasn't suprising.
They dashed through the cafe' and after a few minutes of dashing, they reached the corner.
"Well, at least yer wound is better," Applejack said, breaking the silence.
Fluttershy checked at Rarity's left-front leg, it was better, thanks to unicorn magic.
Everyone shrugged and just walked into a Separatist Phantom.
John opened the pilot door only to find a filly, with her violet eyes fixed at the controls, in her left hoove was a manual that
was entitled: How to fly a Type-52 Troop Carrier. Her Fuchsia mane had three spikes at the front, and was shaped like
Rainbow Dash's mane, her tiny, light orange wings were tucked in, they looked too small to fly anyways. Then she suddenly perked up and turned around, face to face with John-117.
"Hey," shouted Rainbow Dash."It's Scootaloo!"
Scootaloo almost blushed.
"Well," she said to steer the conversation's subject."I just learned how to fly this thing twenty-five seconds, so this may be
a rough ride!"
"Don't worry, trust me, I've had worse," John assured her.
Scootaloo shrugged and pressed a yellow button, the fully opened side doors began closing. However, the middle section,
which had a smaller door, remained open, the Plasma Cannons were still mounted on the side.
Rarity made a face at bad memories, plasma hurt like something was eating through you're flesh times ten.
"Oh come on," Rainbow assured her."Now you get to make those ugly apes feel what you felt."
A grin crept across Rarity's white face, she trotted to the cannon and spent a few seconds trying to work it, eventually, the
cannon was firing bolts like there was no tomorrow.
Scootaloo pushed a lever upwards.
The Phantom gained altitude.
She pushed another lever forwards completely.
The Phantom bolted forwards at 1,100 kph.
"Woah!" everypony shouted in unison.
"Okay, Scoot," John ordered."We need you to fly us there," he said, pointing at the CCS-class battlecruiser."You know how
to fire and use the Type-52 cannon, right?"
Scootaloo nodded.
She pushed a stick left.
The Phantom turned left, towards the battlecruiser, still speeding at 1,100 kph.
The battlecruiser became clearer quickly.
"Okay, kid," John ordered."You should slow down."
Scootaloo pushed the speed stick back till it was only half a centimeter away from default, and so, the Phantom rapidly
deaccelerated to 30 kph.
The cruiser's hanger was in plain sight, now they're only problem was to board it.
If they were seen, then they were screwed, they would activate the force field, it would be troublesome to get in the damn
shuttle bay.
They slipped by the side and went in before the field could be activated, Rarity started shooting the plasma cannon. Scootaloo began shooting the infantry with the Type-52 cannon, they were oliberating them.
But that ended when some Unggoy Heavies walked out of the corridors and began firing their Fuel Rod Guns.
3 shots hit the luckily closed doors.
And so, in a panic, Scootaloo opened the doors and ordered everypony out, once everyone was out, she began steering the Phantom away.
John looked up, the Heavies took no notice and fired some more shots, one hit the tail.
Everypony's faces filled up with horror as a high-pitched droning noise came up and the Phantom exploded into a bright blue/purple explosion.
John let everypony say,"No," and took on the Heavies, the main six took no notice. They just continued staring off into space, where the explosion had happened, this couldn't be happening, Scootaloo, claimed by this invasion?
When everypony finally looked away and headed towards the exit, Rainbow Dash gazed down, to find a hand on her
flank.
"You won't get any vengeance just staying here," John told her."I always thought they were assholes as well."
Rainbow Dash looked up, and proceeded to the exit.
John trailed behind, they needed all the help the could have.
He picked up one of the Fuel Rod Guns and grabbed some more ammo, he looked at Cortana penetrating a 128,000 bit
door. After two minutes, she penetrated the key. The door opened in a awkward fashion.
It opened to reveal a brig. In other words, a prison.
Suddenly, John punched thin air, to reveal a moderately suprised Brute Minor, with his energy shields penetrated.
Before the Brute could respond, John kicked him in the groin. Then his fist met his face.
The Brute yelped and fell to the floor, dead.
Then, John punched again, to reveal a Brute Major with a Brute Shot, the weapon's bayonet was parried with John's Assault Rifle.
John kicked the Major in the stomach and stomped on his head, squishing it, making blood splatter everywhere.
"EWW!" shouted everypony.(That does not include John)
John ignored the screams of disgust and walked towards the control panel.
He entered a code that he found in one of the Brute's clip.
The doors open, one revealed Rainbowshine.
Her cerise eyes were filled with dismay, her light cerise mane was scruffy, her pale indigo body was beat.
She didn't look like the mare she used to be.
She didn't speak, so they decided to just tell her to follow them.
"Are you sure?" she murmured fearfully, those oversized apes had just threw her in prison.
"Well come on," Rainbow Dash assured her.
They dashed to the other exit, after a forty minutes of walking through corridors, they finally found something interesting,
the gravity lift room.
Inside, there were thirty troops, 15 Grunts, 10 Jackals and 5 Brutes.
Without warning Rainbow Dash bolted forward at 450 mph and knocked the shields of a Captain, the shields cracked at
another horse-kickback. His life was ended after she Rainblow Dried him outside by the gravity lift.(Don't ask me how she
did it, she just did alright?!)
After that, the troops were wary, one Brute found his shields knocked out after a beam from Twilight's horn, Applejack
kickbacked a few Grunts to death, Pinkie Pie did the same.
John-117 wrenched his Fuel Rod Gun off, and firing three shots, killed three Brutes.
After a load of blue blood covered the ground, Fluttershy left the room, everypony else went with her, except for Rainbow
Dash. She looked at the only other thing alive in the room, which was John, she signalled for him to leave.
John left without question.
Rainbow concentrated in tensing her body, after taking off, doing a quick backflip, she charged at the controls.
The entire room absolutely exploded, the door opened after the smoke (Or rainbowsmoke?) cleared, she walked out completely unharmed, now it was time to continue. She didn't care she was pretty damn drained.
"Okay," John said."Everything's going to plan. Now, the cruiser is completely crippled, we will have to proceed quickly."
So, Twilight, Applejack, Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie and Rarity dashed down the corridor, they had another
target, the Cargo Bay.
Inside the Bay, they found some weapons, a few Wraiths and a Ghost.(In the Halo Universe, these are vehicles.)
After a few explosions, six ponies and a Demon could be seen running from the Cargo Bay entrance.
"Hmmph," snickered the Chieftain. He watched as the things ran towards the direction of the bridge, he turned off the
security camera after that.
"Chieftain Kepentus!" shouted a Brute Minor from behind.
"Yes?" asked the now enthusiastic Chieftain. He was sure the Demon's streak would end here.
"The Gravity Lift room has been oliberated, now the vessel is crippled!" the Minor reported.
"I already know that, fool!" shouted Kepentus. His raised voice startled the Minor.
Kepentus was sure they just stocked up a lot of plasma grenades, he didn't mind that they were infiltrating, he would fend them off, after all, he only used half of his vehicles on that previous invasion.
"Fear not," Kepentus said in his most soothing voice, which wasn't particularly soothing.
Rainbow Dash was outraged, they were going to avenge Scootaloo, even if that was the last thing they ever did.
"ROWR!" shouted a Major jumping out of nowwhere, Rainbow Dash tackled him and Twilight shot him dead with her horn.
"Were avenging Scootaloo, right?" shouted Pinkie."You might need to mod."
Everypony gave her a confused look.
"You don't play Halo?" she asked.
Everypony shrugged.
They walked ahead, to find more Brutes.
John punched one, Pinkie stole one of their Spikers and began firing, Twilight began shooting them with her magic beams, Fluttershy found herself holding a Brute Shot.
Rarity was impaling them with magic; Applejack found her rear hooves in one of the Brutes face often.
And Rainbow Dash tackled them, finishing them off or knocking their shields out.
It was like a massacre.
Then, Applejack got shot in her rear left hoove with a spike, but instead of wailing, she pulled it out, and stabbed a Brute in
his face, showing agitation.
After eight more seconds, the contacts were eliminated, everypony brushed off their sweat.
"You did well," John complimented them.
They strided through a unlocked door and found themselves in a room with a purple, raised platform, everywhere else was
black pillars, out the windows, was a grand view of Equestria.
Shoving aside her thoughts of the room, she had to admit that in some part of her brain, she thought Scootaloo might be
alive, even though it was unlikely.
Then, a intimidating voice boomed,"Greetings, Demon, I have awaited you for too long."
