//------------------------------// // Chapter 2: Explanations and a bit of Chaos // Story: For the Emperor and the UNSC! (Old version) // by Titan Commander Sebaste //------------------------------// Chapter 2: Explanations and a bit of Chaos 3rd Person POV Twilight glared at the armored being in front of her. "Tell me how you know about me and my friends!" She growled, powering up her horn at the same time. Sasha sighed, then spoke. "On our world, you and your friends are a in a cartoon, a source of entertainment for humans, you're all made up. Same thing with what Sebaste and I are wearing, it's from two different games that humans made up." He said. Twilight was surprised to hear this. "So in your world, we're made up?" She asked in disbelief. "Yes, you see, where we come from, ponies don't talk, like at all. " Sebaste spoke up Twilight sighed. "Well, let's get out of here. The Everfree Forest isn't the safest place to be in." "That's where we are?" Sebastian asked Twilight nodded. "What happened that ended with you getting surrounded by those wolves?" He asked "I was returning from Zecora's hut when they came out of nowhere, I ended up getting chased off the path." She replied With that, the two armored humans and Twilight moved on. 1st Person POV - Sebaste We entered into a well worn path in the forest, and just as Twilight turned to lead us to Ponyvillle, my HUD picked up five contacts coming towards us, next thing I knew, I feel bullets flying past me! "What was...!" I started to say, but Sasha cut me off. "Chaos Marines! Get down!" He shouted. He then returned fire at our assailants. Suddenly a blue blur zipped past him and sent a Chaos marine flying. "Twi! Go, me and the others will deal with these freaks!" A familiar raspy voice yelled. "Rainbow! Don't be stupid!" Twilight yelled. "Just run, sugercube! We'll be fine!" Said a southern accented voice. With that, four of the Elements charged in, except for Fluttershy and Twilight, who stayed behind. The marines noticed them running towards them and quickly changed targets, but by the time they did so, Applejack and the other two were in their midst. One was sent stumbling back from a powerful buck courtesy of Aj, but as she was delivering the buck, another marine slammed the stock of his Bolter into Rarity, knocking her out. The marine that Rainbow had sent flying charged towards her, catching her off guard, and punched her on her left wing, causing it to snap and making her cry out in pain. Pinkie had pulled out her Party Cannon ( how she managed to do that, I have no fragging idea...) but a few shots from an enemy Bolter knocked it out of commission. Twilight and Sasha provided covering fire, while I stayed with Fluttershy. Then, Sasha put away his Bolter and pulls a plasma gun out of nowhere! "Holy shit! Where...?!" I was struck speechless. "Don't ask, I just thought of a plasma gun, and as I put my Bolter away, it appeared!" He said as he unleashed a torrent of plasma shots at the traitors. "Less talking, more fighting!" Rainbow shouted. The five Elements that were fighting had managed keep the Chaos marines hands full, but they had gotten hurt in the process. Rainbow's wing was hanging down by her side, and Rarity was unconscious. Seeing them hurt snapped me out of my funk. I thought of a energy sword so that I could dice the marines up for hurting them. I put away my assault rifle, and as I did so, I felt a handle appear in my hand. I pull my hand out and activate the sword. "For Equestria, For the UNSC!" I roared. I charged at the marines and slashed at the closest one, cutting him down before he could react. With a roar of "FOR THE LION!" Sasha also charged into the action, wielding a pair of Lightning Claws, within seconds, we had slain the squad in close quarters, though, we ended up with a few scratches in the process. Blood dripped from my energy sword and Sasha's Lightning Claws. "Well that was fun. But what the hell are Chaos marines doing here?!" Sasha said. "I have no idea, but let's get the girls back to Ponyvillle." I said while deactivating the energy sword. Sasha nodded, and picked up Rarity. "Is anyone else hurt badly?" He asked. "No, though I think Rainbow's wing is broken " said Twilight. "It is, I felt it break when that mook punched me." Said Rainbow with a wince. Fluttershy quickly grabbed some vines and sticks, and set Rainbow's wing in a rudimentary tourniquet until she could be taken to the hospital. "Can you make it?" I asked Rainbow. She nodded With that, we moved on towards Ponyville and, hopefully, someone who could help us.
