The sky was dark as Charlie 3 was being evacuated from Reach. The 6 soldiers were all staring out the cockpit watching the covenant cruiser fall. Hooahs erupted from the soldiers within the pelican. Every man present breathed a sigh of relief.
"This is Pelican Alpha Two-Zero-Five requesting permission to land in bay five of the UNSC Pillar of Autumn, over." Said the female pilot.
"Permission granted... Hold on.... We are picking up signs of covenant slip space drives activating. Do not land, I repeat do not land." Said the voice over the comms.
The soldiers then turned their gaze out of the left side window to see 300 Heavy Covenant cruisers. "Oh my god." Said Charlie 3's leader. Soon the comms were flooded with commanders demanding evacuations of their men, requesting fighter support, or reporting casualties.
The cruisers mashed straight through the MAC guns orbiting the planet. 12 of the Covenant Cruisers went down to the atmosphere and began glassing the planets surface. The rest set up a blockade not allowing the escape of any UNSC vessels.
"The Pillar of Autumn is making a break for it. I will try to get us to one of the landing bays before it escapes!" Yelled the male pilot.
The pelican then rattled as a banshee shot at it. "Everyone into your seats I'm try and see if i can shake this bastard." Said the female pilot. All soldiers rushed to theirs seat clenching the bars that held them in place for dear life. Then a heavy plasma round hit the left engine of the pelican.
"Brace for impact were on a crash course with the Pillar of Autumn!!!." Yelled the pilot from over the speakers.
~~~~
And then the heavy ship blasted a plasma round straight into the Soth Ship and... The book Rainbow Dash was reading was engulfed in a purple glow and yanked away. .
"Hey!? What was that for!?" Rainbow Dash demanded to know Why she was being interrupted during he reading time.
"I've been shouting for you for about 10 minutes." Said Twilight.
"Oh sorry, I was reading this book. Its about how this alien race was invaded by this other alien race because their god willed it. I was at the best part of it before you interrupted me." Rainbow Dash said folding her hooves to show how irritated she was.
"Rainbow I highly doubt aliens would be raging war with one another. If the are intelligent enough to take to the stars they probably abandoned war long ago. If anything there is a huge alien alliance not an alien war." Twilight explained.
"How do you know? Its not like you are some weird space traveler... Are you?" Asked Rainbow.
"No I'm not a space traveler. And, well look through out histo-" Her sentence was cut short by the sounds of explosions.
~~4 minutes earlier~~
"WHERE THE FUCK ARE WE!?" Shouted the male pilot. The pelican tried to reach Pillar of Autumn before it went into slip space drive. They got 'sucked' in with its space slip drive and now found themselves under attack by two Banshees and descending to a possibly hostile planet.
"Damn I can't shake off these banshees. We might be able to lose them in the atmosphere of the planet... The stats show that the left engine is operational. Lets see what these Covenant bitches are made of." The female pilot then turned off the engines causing the two banshees to speed ahead of the Pelican.
When pelicans are built for breaking atmospheres and fighting at the same time there is a distinct and unfair advantage for them against any other ship. "Target locked. Firing now." A massive wall of 40mm APHE rounds hit one of the Banshees causing its engine to catch fire as it spirals down to the surface of the planet.
"Where is the other? I can't see it and the sensor isn't picking up any movement." Said the male pilot.
"I'm not sure it might be above y-" Then the last Banshee went on a high-speed dive straight into the pelican.

"Sister! Sister! Come quick!" Luna called Celestia over to the balcony that over looks the valley bellow the mountain. There were what appeared to be three asteroids falling to Eqius.
"Luna is this your doing!?" Celestia asked.
"No sister." Luna said in a slightly angrier toned voice "They are some kind of metal asteroids . But I can't control them with my magic. I am as baffled by this as you are sis." Luna said in her defense.
"They seem to be cashing near the Ponyville lake." Stated Celestia.
'I can see whats happening too. You don't need to point out the obvious' Luna thought.
"Guard!" Celestia shouted.
"Yes your highness?" Asked the guard with a salute of his hoof.
"Send word to Captain Shinning Armor... And tell him to lead a squad of soldiers to investigate the objects that have crashed near the Ponyville Lake."
"Yes your Majesty." With that the guard excited the room.
~~~
Sergeant Major Thomas Kryncki was the first to wake. The bodies of his fireteam were either strapped in their seat on the floor of the Pelican dead. He then unhooked himself from the seat but as he did he heard a cough. Thomas turned each way until he found Sergeant Kate Amsel lying on the ground coughing up blood.
"Kate!" He rushed to her side.
'Her rifle must have misfired and shot her in the chest. That high power rifle round easily would break straight through any A-11 power shield and chest plate.' Thomas thought to himself.
"Thomas? Is that you? Man you look like shit" Kate then slipped into unconsciousness
"Hang in there Kate." He then grabbed a canister of bio foam and shoved the tube into her just plate to cover her bullet wound. "Kate hang in there you're gonna be fine... I-I promise..."
Hm... I will say that it's a good start, though I'd highly suggest getting someone to proofread as I saw several grammar and spelling mistakes. But either way this story has already sparked my interest.
2835713 Well i am looking for an editor for both of my stories. Would you be interested?
Thought the UNSC had Marines(Jarheads), not grunts(Army)
2835749 That's a lie. The Army was actual used in all major UNSC invasions. Look up more on http://halo.wikia.com/wiki/UNSC_Army. It tells you a long list of known UNSC army divisions and squads. And in the Halo game Reach you actually meet up with Charlie 3. They were the soldiers that were pinned down. Remember? You flanked the Covenant and saved them.
2835760
Can I edit
2835766 Well the trollestia was a little disheartening but maybe.
2835760
Huh? Those were the guys? Huh, maybe slipping on the banana peel was a bad thing after all...
2835778
Cmon, I'm a mastur of grammar
2835797 Um...? Mastur? Well if you have a facebook and or a youtube channel tell me their names and we can talk. I also need one for my other story. So yah.
2835804
I'm only eight so I have a ROBLOX account...Will that work?
2835811 I don't have one. Just msg me on this website.
2835824
I read over the story, it seems like you need somepony who can help you with grammar.
I can help you if you want, I mean if that is alright with you.
Interesting, for once I found Halo/MLP crossover-fic with no errors pertaining to story. However, to prevent such problems in the future, would you like me to fact check upcoming chapters? I am a goddamn Halo nut. Ask me anything that's been said about the Halo universe and I can probably tell you the answer.
2835898 Yes.
Alright, edited it a little bit. Hope you enjoy it.
I like how it's going so far. Can't wait to see the rest of it
I already love it. Keep going dude.
I'll favorite! You're right, it's high time the Army got some love and attention!
I like the concept, but the United Earth Space Corps doesn't have an army. They only have the Marines, Navy, and Air Force.
2837569 OKAY THIS IS TO EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!!!!! The UNSC has an army. You meet Charlie 3 in the Halo game Reach. Look up http://halo.wikia.com/wiki/UNSC_Army it gives you a long line of known UNSC army divisions and squads.
2837636 While it does say army on the wiki (which IS NOT maintained or edited by ANYONE from Bungie), the Spartans always refer to the soldiers as Marines, and the soldiers do no object to being called Marines. Ergo, they are Marines, not the army.
Also, the Marines in the U.S. military and militaries around the world are given a different set of equipment than the army. How come, then, the "army" and Marines are given the same equipment on Reach? It just doesn't make sense.
2837656 You obviously never read the Halo books. When it talks about the victory at Harvest (When the UNSC retook it) It went into major detail of how the UNA (United Nations Army) took back Harvest. In most of the games it only speaks of marines because The marines stay on the ships. In what Halo game have you played. (Other than Reach or ODST) doesn't start off on a ship filled with Marines?
2837695 Halo 3 and Halo Wars both.
But the United Nations Army, isn't the United Earth Space Corps. Those are two VERY different branches of the humans' military.
And yes, I have never read the books. But I did read Bungie's comic strips about Halo.
2837708
UNSC stands for United Nations Space Command, mate.
Also it is stupid not to maintain a regular army. The Marines are the force that can be deployed within days anywhere in the word/universe/galaxy the army comes in after. Without the Army the marines would lose because they have to be light and small in order to mobilize at such speeds. Please get a better understanding of the military before you go around saying there isn't a army in a government.
2837712 In Halo 1 and Halo 2, it stands for United Earth Space Corps. It wasn't until Halo 3 that Bungie started using United Earth Space Command. It's still the same thing.
The 'e' isn't used in the initials.
2837712 You need to read everything I've been saying, because I NEVER said that the government didn't have an army. They do, but it's in the form of a militia that isn't CALLED an army. It's deployed on Earth, and was on Mars and Reach for a time, until both of those planets were lost to the Covenant.
You should brush up on your Halo knowledge a bit more. I'm not an expert, but I do know these basic concepts.
2837747 Yes after the fall of Reach all UNSC Army was called back to Earth for better defense. But in the beginning of the war when the Humans did a lot of offensive attacks they used the Army A LOT...
2837769 That's true, but the army was a militia. It was formed from civilians, but they only received 2 weeks of training and weren't given the same uniforms the military had.
The Marines were trained for months, received military uniforms, and military-grade weapons. The militia used whatever guns they could get their hands on, sometimes UNSC weapons, but not often.
Couple of things i feel the need to point out:
That sentence makes little sense as it stands.
Kate needs a first or last name, regardless how minor a character she is. If Kate was a "he" rather than a "she" it'd be easy to assume Kate was a surname.
2838793 Your comments are duly noted and will be fixed.
