The Chief walked under caution across the hard light bridge to the Composer’s firing area to finish off the Didact and end his campaign against Humanity with the nuke on his back. The Chief stopped dead in his tracks, and attempted to see farther by putting his head farther in front of him. He saw the Didact starting to vanish from sight in the beam, then in a flash of light he vanish completely from the beam. The Chief only took a few steps until he heard the Didact.
“You persist too long after your own defeat.”
The Chief spun around, raising his Battle Rifle and preparing to shoot the Didact, only to be met with nothing but blank space. The Chief lowered his Battle Rifle cautiously and took four steps backwards, then turned around. He did not make it far, only to sense the Didact’s presence right behind him.
“Come then warrior, have your resolution." The Didact challenging said, landing in position after slowly levitating himself down.
The Chief spun around again as fast as he could. Right as he was about to shoot the Didact, he was pushed away with extreme force from the Didact’s Constraint Field. The Chief was pushed away several feet, then fell on the bridge. The bomb fell off his back, and the Chief slid a couple more feet. He pushed himself up while he was still sliding on the bridge, then stopped sliding in a crouched position. Then, the Chief looked up to see the Didact’s position, then his eyes moved to the bomb, and the Didact clearly knew what he was going to do next. The Chief took off with all the speed his legs could offer to reach the nuke.
But he wasn’t nearly fast enough.
Right as he was about to reach the bomb, the Didact grabbed him in his Constraint Field and the Chief froze solid. The Chief was then lifted into the air in a straight position, his arms slightly extended and his hands in a claw like shape. The Didact’s helmet morphed off his head piece by piece
“So misguided,” Didact said with a note of profound derision. The Promethean slowly levitated John, walking to his right over to the Composer’s pit, where all the Humans from Earth were being composed into the Didacts new servants. The Didact stopped moving when he had the Chief in a good position above the Composers pit, then the Didact put his left leg behind him.
“Humanity’s imprisonment is a KINDNESS.”
The Didacts hand made a fist and the Chief’s shields flickered as the Constraint Field was crushing the life out of him. The bridge started to flickered and looked as if it were about to collapse. The Didact looked down in dismay, fearing it may collapse beneath him. But, what he saw instead were multiple hard light human females raising out of the bridge, whispering thing the Didact couldn't understand. Didact looked to his right with a face of confusion and saw more of the same females. He looked back at the Chief and then back again, seeing yet more females emerging from the framework of the bridge..
“In that case, you won’t mind if we return the favor,” the AI said with hostility.
“Your compassion for Mankind is misplaced!” Didact declared, looking down at the one female that was talking.
“I’m not doing this for Mankind,” Cortana retorted.
The main Cortana jumped at the Didact’s left arm and then attached it to the bridge. Then, the other Cortanas joined in and jumped at all his limbs. The Didact morphed his helmet back on when one of the Cortanas attached to his arm that was grasping the Chief. With that, the Chief gained control over his body once again, but fell towards the Composer’s pit.
Before he could begin plummeting, he grabbed on to the bridge just in time, preventing him from falling to his doom. The Didact was grunting and using all his strength to break free from his hard light shackles. The final Cortana attached to his head, preventing it from moving about. The Chief looked up and got a perfect view of the Composer’s beam hitting Earth in the American Southwest, right on top of New Phoenix.
John looked down to the Composer’s pit. There was absolutely no way he was going down there, he still had a mission and he planned on completing it. Master Chief got his grip on the bridge and looked up at Earth, bringing his other hand up on the bridge. With all his strength, he pulled himself up and brought his left arm up onto the bridge.
Then, with another burst of strength, he pulled his right arm up on the bridge and brought his left arm down, grabbing a Pulse Grenade from his waist, he then brought up his left arm with the Pulse Grenade in his hand.
John put his right arm in front of him, then pushed himself up while running forward towards the Didact as fast as he could. When he got close enough, he planted the Pulse Grenade on the Didact’s chest, Immediately, the Didact punched the Chief with enormous strength and knocked the Spartan off his feet. The Didact picked up a critically injured Chief in his Constraint Field. He was going to end this Human filth once and for all, such was his determination.
As if on cue, the Pulse Grenade detonated right on the Didact’s chest, making him take a few steps back from the blast and leading him near the edge of the bridge. The Didact grunted, in serious pain, and lost his balance on the bridge and fell over into the Composers pit. He reach out his arm in a futile attempt to grab on to the bridge, but failed and lost control over his body. He fell, spinning on his side over and over again until he fell into the Composer’s energy stream, quite possibly to his death.
It may have looked like that, but a spontaneous slipspace portal opened up amidst the maelstrom of energy, and he went through it seemingly on complete accident
It was another peaceful day in the Crystal Empire. Crystal Ponies went about there day, and the foals playing with their friends, and lovers’ combined affection helped power the Crystal Heart and magnified its strength across the entire empire.
Princess Cadence enjoyed the view from the balcony of the Crystal Tower, It was a beautiful afternoon. Cadence always loved to see her subjects having a wonderful day, and this was all possible because of Twilight and her friends, but most importantly it was because of Spike's heroism that them all. It was he who took the Crystal Heart from the evil Sombra and helped Cadence restore the Crystal Empire to its former glory. There was nothing that could ruin this day.
"Princess, we require your attention at the Mirror Room at once!” One of Cadences guards shouted from behind her, breathing heavily from his run over here.
“Whats the matter?” Cadence asked, confused on why there was a problem specifically in the room where the Mirror Portal was kept, as she turned around and faced her guard.
“We don’t know exactly, but the portal is acting up and doing very strange things!" The Crystal Guard explained to Cadence, while searching for a explanation in his head, but couldn't find one.
"What do you mean acti-”
“Princess, I think its best if you saw it yourself, for I can't truly explain what it's doing."
“Alright, we better hurry before anypony gets hurt." Cadence pointed out, making her way past the Crystal Guard, as the guard the caught up.
The Princess and the crystal guard made there way to the Portal Room with urgency to get there. But when they did, the portal looked as if a gateway to eternal darkness had open and had blue swirling substance around the eternal darkness. The Guards circled the portal with there spears raised at portals entrance.
“What is going o-” Cadence never got to finish, as a pony in weird glowing armor was spontaneously tossed out of the portal towards Cadence and her guards with little but too no warning.
“Princess, get down!” The guard that escorted Cadence her dived at her to avoid any harm against her from that strange pony.
They got out of the way in time just as the strange pony hit the door sharply behind them. The pony was still conscious, it seemed, grunting in pain and holding his chest.
“By the order of the Princess, stop right there!” A guard run up to the pony with his spear raised and ready to protect the Princess against any harm.
“ *cough* *cough* “Get...those weapons *cough* away from...me!” *cough* The pony then got up on his hind legs, but fell as he was assailed by further bouts of coughing.
“Explain yourself this instant!” The guard demanded, taking a step closer towards the pony and raising his spear slightly more.
“You will not *cough* treat me with such *cough* disrespect!” The pony shouted, who then stood at his full height. Cadence was quite surprised at his stature. He was about six feet tall, maybe even a few inches taller then Celestia herself! He wave his hoof in front of him quickly. The guards went flying back several feet as they were hit by an unseen force, then the massive pony made a run for it.
“Wait come back!” Cadence shouted, trying to sound calm over what she just saw. That pony just sent her guards flying with merely a wave of his hoof. The pony outright ignored her and keep running, trying to get away so he could heal his injuries without interruptions. The Pony went into a coughing fit and fell to the ground. He looked up to see more guards coming.
“Halt intruder!" The leader of the group of guards a ordered, continuing to run towards him.
The Guards made a circular formation around the pony, with their spears facing him. The stallion just sat there coughing, then after a few seconds, he stopped and looked as if he was about to fall down.
Blackness was coming over his eyes; he was going to pass out. He just simply couldn’t handle the pain of his injuries anymore. Didact did nothing more but let the blackness over take him, and the last thing he heard was that feminine voice that called out to him saying to stand down, no doubt addressing her soldiers. With that, he finally lost all consciousness.
