//------------------------------// // Handle with care // Story: Halo: Equestria // by shenadri //------------------------------// Celestia's Mercy Hospital, Canterlot, 17 minutes later In his career , Dr. Bonesaw had seen some of the strangest cases in the hospital, however , he was trully surprised when the two regents of Equestria entered through the front door , carrying in a stretcher what appeared to be a huge furry purple monkey, behind the dyarchy, a torrent of guards, reporters and other ponies were coming , apparently , today isn't going to be a normal day at the hospital. "Princesses, what do I owe the honor" the doctor said , making a brief bow , which was promptly ignored, however, the doctor pony did not care for this discourtesy, his eyes fixed on the odd patient that was unconcious on the gurney. "Doctor , please take the patient to the private room, and make sure all her wounds are treated , the crown will cover all the expenses " Princess Celestia said, looking over her shoulder at the surprised doctor, "In addition, make sure all relevant exams on unknown or potentially dangerous diseases towards our race will be done on her, we could not do it in the field due to all the commotion she caused." "Okay, Princess, if I can ask, who is our strange patient? " the doctor asked, trying to fill the hospital admission form while trotting to keep up with the longer strides of his monarchs "Princess Twilight Sparkle" Princess Luna interceded, before entering the now opened room, leaving the doctor completely paralyzed, his mouth open wide and his ear twitching, after a while, the medical pony came back. "It is not supposed that she was a pony ?" Bonesaw said to no one in particular, before going back towards the main lobby. Isiapkis Training facility "I do not give a shit that you are some dignitary from a friendly planet, here in the UNSC we train the best, to be the best, and if it were up to me, you two, pair of horses, would be better off in a farm than in a military installation." Colonel Williams shouted, addressing the pair of ponies that had just come to the training center, as he droned on, private Twilight Sparkle was thinking how they ended in this mess. After the retrieval mission from Isis, Gipsy team was on a reconnaissance mission when a sudden blast of light from a nearby creek called the attention of the spartan veterans, when they reached the site, however , many in the company could not believe their eyes , in a clear apparently created by an explosion , a pair of horses , if I could be given that term , lay completely still, however, the vibrant colors of their coats , one purple and one orange, told the soldiers that those were not normal animals, Fred102 , as he was approaching, noticed that one of the animals was still conscious, but he was totally frozen when the purple horse turned it's head towards the soldier, and spoke with a raspy, but clearly femenine voice. "Help." After all the bureaucratic process, uncomfortable questions and meaningless paperwork, in the end the UNSC acknowledged that the two foreign horses found in the crater were no threat, despite the constant interventions to militarize the skills that the 'Princess Twilight Sparkle' possessed, so they give civilian rights and priviledges as foreign dignataries to the two ponies and moved on. then the invasion to the Earth happened. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- " Applejack, run! " Twilight said breathlessly, while both kept running outside the shopping district , however , several unknown ships began to attack people in public areas of the city, after running for a while, suddenly, she stumbled with a contingent of invaders, which consisted of several small aliens with gas masks and a pair of tall aliens , their blue and red armor marking them as leaders of the pack, after the surprise to find animals roaming around the city, the commander of the covenant contingent gave orders to exterminate the pair of unusual horses, however, he didn't know about the teleportation ability of one of the equines, on the other hand, Twilight was paralyzed by fear, seeing the weapons loading to end their lives, instinctively she began teleporting all over the place, calling the attention of the aliens, meanwhile, one of several companies of UNSC soldiers that were collaborating with the evacuation noticed the strange gleams in one of the commercial areas, so they approached to check the strange fenomenon, also one of the spartan that knew about the strange horses found in Isis was also in the squad, and after a brief scuffle, he could help the two mares in trouble. The next thing that Twilight remembered, was one big blue and yellow alien ripping one wall by himself, barreling towards her rescuers, only for all the memory to stay frozen, after blinking a couple of times, she noticed a blue pony in one of the nearby buildings, looking down, Princess Luna hopped over the ledge and gliding effortlessly , she approached the still wary alicorn. 'I assume, Twilight Sparkle that this is only a memory, or a vivid nightmare, I am correct? Luna bellowed, looking down to the purple pony, her face showing no expression. 'Princess Luna, what are you doing in my memories'the purple mare began, looking panicked towards her fellow equine 'I dont...' 'Be at peace, dear Twilight, you are simply unconscious, thy friend Rainbow Dash knocked you out when she thought that the one called 'Seed' was harming the survivors from Manehattan.' 'So, all of this is a dream'the purple librarian said, looking towards the gun pointed to her head, then when she touched the weapon, it began to disintegrate, as all of the remaining memory, after a while, only Luna and herself remained. 'I guess you are awakening, Twilight, see you on the other side, also you can tell us all that happened to you, as I can see, this is a very interesting story' the moon goddess said, looking straight to the eyes of her fellow princess, 'see you soon' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- On the real world, Twilight stirred, only to open her eyes suddenly, sitting straight on the all too small bed that some of the members of the royal guard had improvised on the private wing of the hospital, turning around, she opened her mouth in disbelief, sitting near the window, her back turned to the bed, Celestia was watching intently from one of the windows to the UNSC harmony sitting near the capitol, turning her head, the spartan also noticed Princess Luna, she was on a nearby bed, also awakening from her slumber, the moon alicorn looking straight to the veteran spartan. "Welcome to the land of the living Twilight," the dark Goddess said, picking herself up from her bed, "I really hope that you are better."
