Twilight squinted as the Canterlotian carriage began to circle their destination. She looked back at the Master Chief, who sat with his legs partially crossed, cradling a curious metal chip. She sighed quietly. It had been a silent two-hour ride from the ship’s crash site to Canterlot, the human electing silence as his answer for every question that her friends had asked him. Twilight was completely baffled by how quickly he had changed. She recalled the conversation during the long walk to the crash site, how he had at least tried to respond to anything he was ‘allowed’ to answer.
All of that had changed as soon as she and Rainbow had ventured into the ship to find him. After about an hour of searching, they found him kneeling in a strange room filled with metal pods that lined the walls. And that same metal chip that he was currently carrying was pinched between his thumb and forefinger while he looked forward, entranced by something unseen to both her and Rainbow Dash.
Fluttershy, who had volunteered to accompany Twilight on the carriage ride, gave her a gentle nudge. “You think he’s okay? Maybe he hit his head…?” She said, glancing back at the Chief.
“I don’t think so. Last time I checked for injuries, it didn’t seem like there were any signs of a concussion.” Twilight said, shrugging.
Fluttershy frowned. “Oh, dear. He looks kinda sad…” She said, now gazing at the Chief with her brilliant teal eyes.
Twilight glanced back at the Chief, now realizing he did look a little lonely, slowly turning the chip over in his hand. The metal chip fell under Twilight’s close scrutiny as she inspected the individual grooves on the surface, noting that it was actually shaped like a horseshoe of sorts. Except that it was a metal chip, and there was a large hole in the middle that gave it that resemblance. Maybe there used to be something there…? But why would that make him so depressed? Twilight thought.
She was jolted back to reality as the carriage bumped to a stop, landing in the Royal Courtyard. Half a dozen guards approached the sides, their gold armor glinting brightly in the waning sunlight.
“Off ya get, ya brute!” One barked, flying to land in the cart and nudging the Chief none-too-gently with a spear.
Twilight almost yelled out for him to stop when the Master Chief looked up slowly, eventually standing up. She watched as he stepped off of the carriage, balling his right hand (supposedly containing the chip) into a fist. She was even more shocked when the guards slapped heavy metal cuffs onto his wrists, and he didn’t even do so much as flinch. She watched as he was marched into the castle, dragging his feet as he went. Fluttershy was right. He did look pitifully sad.
Another guard saluted in front of Twilight, snatching her attention. “Ma’am. The Sun Princess would have a word with you.” He said, turning on his front hoof to march towards the castle. Twilight gritted her teeth. Time to sort out some misunderstandings…
Without another word, Twilight followed the guard at a brisk pace, while Fluttershy scurried to keep up.
--
John stumbled forward, shoved into the less-than-adequate-sized cell. The guard cleared his throat. “You have been given a 24-hour sentence in the dungeons for attempted evasion of Princess Celestia and your captor, Twilight Sparkle. In addition, you will apologize to the Princess herself for having declined her hospitality.”
John heard the heavy metal gate slam home, joined by the guard’s retreating hoofsteps. He looked down at the chains that held his wrists together, easily pulling the thick metal into pieces as he yanked his wrists apart.
Slowly opening his right hand, he looked longingly at the empty AI chip that rested there. His sudden desire to escape faded with the crushing weight of Cortana’s absence, bringing him back to his knees.
The soldier in him truly wanted to escape, search for her, and possibly escape this crazy planet. However, his logic was quick to kick in. Where would she go if she happened to live? She couldn’t have just stayed in the fried circuitry of the ship; she would’ve remained in the chip, where she knew he would find her.
He hung his head, letting the truth wash over him. She was gone, for all he knew. She wasn’t in the chip, and finding her in the ship was out of the question. He had no clue how to fish an AI out of a tangled wreck of the Dawn’s wiring. He didn’t even know if that could be done.
But the fact that she was gone still remained. Without her, he could never return home, as rebuilding the Pelican would be impossible.
Hell. Even if he somehow discovered how to rebuild it, he still wouldn’t leave until he found Cortana again. If that was even possible at this point.
Pressing himself into a corner, he slid the chip back into his helmet’s AI slot, pulling up his knees and resting his helmet on his arms, which he had crossed over his kneecaps. His motivation to escape now lost, he found himself only capable of simply waiting. What else could he do in the meantime, anyways?
His eyes dropped to the pistol on his side. In the guards’ ignorance of human technology, they had assumed it was a part of his armor and left it alone.
His hand slowly drooped to brush the handle, suddenly gripping it tightly and gently yanking it off of his armor’s magnetic holster. He thumbed the safety off, his face set in stone.
--
Twilight frowned at the guard. “Just let me see him. He’ll talk to me!”
The guard gestured to her leg. “It’s not healthy for you to even be up and about, ma’am. Besides, the Princess—”
“What about the us?” Asked a familiar voice. Twilight turned quickly, nearly bumping into Princess Luna.
The guard snapped a starchy salute. “P-Princess Luna! Ma’am!”
Twilight glanced up at Luna, but frowned when Luna did not look her way.
The Princess of the Night approached the guard. “At ease, Private. We’re going to have a little chat with our prisoner.” She said.
The guard frowned. “I… Uh… Permission to speak freely, ma’am?”
“Permission granted, Private.”
“With all due respect, I only take orders from Princess Celestia herself. I’m a part of the Solar Tower Guard, not your Lunar contingent.” He said, frowning.
Luna huffed irritably. “Yes, we know this. Tia asked us personally to negotiate with the human. Isn’t that a command from my sister?” She asked.
The soldier failed to respond. “I… uh… I’m… not—”
“And my point is proven. Come, Twilight Sparkle. You are to assist me.” Luna stated flatly, walking past the stuttering guard. Without hesitation, Twilight trotted after the lunar princess, taking care to keep pace with the Alicorn.
“Did Princess Celestia really send you down here, Luna?” she hissed, unsure if they were out of auditory range of the flabbergasted guardpony.
“No, we wanted audience with this human we hadn’t met despite hearing so much about.” Luna admitted, hooking a right down the gloomy-looking stockade. “For some reason, Tia did not want me meeting the creature.” Luna stuck out her lower lip. “She always has to keep secrets from us… I know she’s doing what she can to shelter us from numerous things… But we are a Princess, just like she is. We’re going to have to shoulder her burden eventually.”
Twilight looked to Luna, eyes brimming with curiosity. “Luna, did you ever learn anything about the humans? You use the word as if you know it well.”
The Alicorn shrugged her wings helplessly. “I know little more than you do, Twilight. Paradise Estate and their disappearance during the Discordian reign are all I know about. I was hoping that I could answer this and more things if I talked to the human you met the other night.” Luna explained.
Twilight looked forward again. “I’m not sure what he’ll be able to answer, Luna…” She said, frowning. “He’s been very hush-hush about everything, and I doubt that…” She trailed off as they arrived at the cell.
The human was sitting on his knees, his bonds obviously shattered. He was fondly hefting a strange device in his hand. A short barrel protruded from the silver ‘nose’ this thing bore, accompanied by a long handle that jutted out from the middle of the device. She watched as the human pressed something on the side, slowly lifting it to his head.
“What’re you—” She started.
The human’s head suddenly lifted, although it didn’t look like he was too surprised. He slowly turned, lowering whatever he was holding in his hand.
Luna’s horn glowed blue, and the device flew out of his hand, bumping into the bars to levitate in front of her. “We have some questions for you.” She said firmly, slowly opening the door.
The human looked at the levitating weapon, then back to his knees, facing the far wall again. “I’m not answering any.” He replied, his voice rasping.
Luna frowned. “We’ll see.” She said, her voice dangerously low. She approached him, much to Twilight’s dismay.
“Princess! Wait! He’s—”
“He’s not going to do anything.” Luna replied calmly. “He may be a different species entirely, but we can still recognize something we were forced to live with for a thousand years.” She turned to face the human, ensuring that she was in front of him. She tipped his chin up with her magic, here gaze piercing the polarized faceplate.
“Loneliness.” She said, almost whispering.
The human perked up at the word before pulling his head away from Luna’s telekinetic grasp, choosing to look to the side.
Twilight suddenly realized the man’s body language. His slumped shoulders, the lethargy plaguing his every move. But what could have caused this—
“Oh, goodness. We’re sorry; where are our manners?” Luna apologized. She bowed her head. “We are Princess Luna, sister of Princess Celestia, and Ruler of the Night.” She said.
The human simply nodded, remaining silent.
Luna looked at Twilight, shrugging her wings. Twilight simply shrugged back. Turning to face the human again, Luna ventured a question. “Are you sure you weren’t alone?” Luna asked, taking a seat in front of the soldier. “My sister informed me that you had arrived alone, and you told her that you were indeed alone. But I know that from the look on your face…”
The Chief raised his head. “How did you…?”
“It’s a simple spell, really!” Twilight chirped. “You just—”
“Twilight.” Luna stated firmly, glaring at the lavender equine. Twilight smiled sheepishly and backed away.
Luna turned back to the Chief, her expression serious. “But from the look on your face, you’re telling a rather tall tale to us, ‘Master Chief’.” She said, saying his name slowly.
The human didn’t even look up. “I’m alone. I always have been.” He stated simply.
Twilight’s jaw dropped when Luna reached forward, using her hoof to turn the Chief’s head towards her. “Please. From one lonely soul to another.” She asked, her voice sincere.
The Chief gazed into her eyes for several moments before looking down. “Her name was Cortana.” He blurted out. “She… She was an artificial intelligence construct. A “smart” AI, if you will.” He started.
Twilight cocked her head. “Artificial intelligence? You just… manufactured consciousness?”
“No. We always based them off of real human beings.” John corrected. “In this case, she was based off of my m—” He paused for a second before continuing, much to Luna and Twilight’s befuddlement. “My… superior. Dr. Catherine Halsey.” He said carefully.
Luna scrunched up her face. “So, how did you and Cortana become separated?”
The Chief hung his head. “She was in the ship’s systems when we crashed. I was separated from her during the rough landing, which was why I had fled the hospitality of Twilight’s friends in the first place.” He admitted. Reaching to the back of his helmet, he removed something, bringing it forward in a fist. He opened his hand, holding up the metal scrap Twilight had seen before. “This was her storage chip, which was empty when I found it at the crash site.” He lowered the chip, his head lowering again. “I haven’t seen her since.”
Luna and Twilight looked at each other, both bearing looks of despair. “Oh my…” was all Twilight could manage.
“So… how did you and Cortana first meet?” Luna ventured.
The human went on to recount meeting her for the first time before running a hellish obstacle course, recalling that he wouldn’t have survived it without her help. To their surprise, that was where he stopped.
Luna raised a brow, curious. “So… That was it? You only knew this… AI for a few weeks?”
“I went through a hell of a lot more than just a few weeks.” The human growled.
Luna leaned forward. “Well, would you mind if you showed me?” She said, indicating her horn.
The human hesitated. “I don’t follow.”
“It’s another simple spell!” Twilight said, leaping on this opportunity to explain something. “We unicorns and Alicorns can use magic to either restore or view the memories of an individual. In this case, Princess Luna is asking to do the latter.”
The human looked away. “I can’t.” He said. “I’ve already said too much.”
Luna frowned, turning back to Twilight. “Hm. I think we’ve gotten as much as we could out of him tonight.” Luna said. “I need to lower the moon in a few hours, so I must take my leave, Twilight Sparkle.”
Twilight bowed. “If it’s okay with you, Princess, I’d like to share a few words with him.”
Luna nodded. “Sure. Just… remember to call us ‘Luna.’” She said, smiling.
Twilight giggled. “Yes, Luna.” She waited for the lunar princess to leave before approaching the Chief. “So… Uh… I wanted to apologize for their treatment. I didn’t think they’d be so harsh as to throw you in the castle’s stockade.” She said, pushing a small pile of hay around.
The Chief simply glanced her way before turning back to face the far wall.
Twilight continued to stare at his backside. “I just wanted to let you know about something I’ve learned.”
The Chief let out an empty chuckle.
Twilight pouted for a moment before continuing. “When I was fighting against a draconequus named Discord, I was temporarily separated from all of my friends.” Her eyes burned at the memory, tears threatening to form. “My closest friends, all turned into the enemies that hampered my progress.” She said. “I lost all hope, and almost abandoned my friends, thinking that I couldn’t ever restore things to normal alone.”
She smiled. “But that’s when the Princess taught me that with friendship comes hardship. There are times where you’re separated, turned against each other or even driven to fight. However, that’s all a part of having a connection between two different personalities. Friendship isn’t always smooth sailing. It sometimes requires work, and a little bit of faith.”
Twilight set a hoof on the man’s shoulder. “So, Chief, just have a little faith that Cortana isn’t gone. That she’s out there, somewhere.”
The human didn’t even turn. “The only place she could be is at that crash site, in the ship’s systems. And even if she was, she would’ve known when I was aboard and looking for her.”
His shoulders sagged further. “You still held on to the hope that you could bring your friends back. I can’t have any faith if I know she’s already gone, Twilight.” His head lowered further. “Just as Luna had her sister. Unlike you two, I’ve lost all of my friends.”
“B-but—”
“My friends are dead, Twilight Sparkle.” He finished. “Be happy that you still have yours.”
Twilight’s nose stung, bringing tears to her eyes. “Aren't I a friend to you, Chief?” Twilight choked out before taking off, not even caring to close the door behind her.
--
“My friends are dead, Twilight Sparkle.” John said, struggling to keep his voice level. “Be happy that you still have yours.”
He was caught off-guard by a sniffling behind him. What followed nearly broke his very essence. “Aren’t I a friend to you, Chief?” he heard Twilight croak before the sound of her retreating hoofsteps followed.
John slowly turned, gazing longingly at the open door. Confusion overwhelmed his mind, along with the horrible knot of regret sitting in his stomach.
A friend?
how... depressing
oh snap
Wait... John didn't try to enact Cole Protocol ONI is going to have his head
922496 lol isn't that the truth.
Not bad, a couple things though.
"We are Princesses" should be "We are a Princess" if you're using the Royal We that Luna so loves.
You're missing an "I" in "which was why had fled the hospitality of Twilight’s friends"
Otherwise, enjoyable. Nice character progression.
Damn. Finally, we see Chief not as some unstoppable Spartan hero, but as human, as vulnerable. You're doing a great job depicting his inner struggles coping with lonliness. Keep it up and I hope you update more frecuently
Come on Chief, show your badass side already!
Now hold on there, Chief. You promised you'd keep an eye on her. Are you going to break your promise? 'Cuz remember, promises last --
FOREVEEEEER!
Typical battle-hardened soldier response to that question posed at the end: No.
Typical battle-hardened soldier, whom has PTSD, response to that question posed at the end: No.
Typical battle-hardened SpecOps warrior response to that question posed at the end: No.
Typical human response to that question posed at the end: yes.
Hate to say it, but this is one of those times where feeling bad, and trying to be a nice guy by saying yes, is a bad idea. It would ruin the wounded warrior persona that the Chief has. My recommendation (as a writer, as a reader, and as a soldier with friends who've got PTSD) would be for him to just say no. Reasons vary from "you don't know anything about me, so why should I call you friend?" to "Why would you want a broken warrior as a friend?" but all have the same result, S-117 would push her away. The resulting conflict of Twilight trying to become the Chief's friend, while he pushes her away, would definitely make for an interesting read.
Anyway, enough speculation/recommendations on what happens next. Hurry up and write it
I'm learning more about the Halo series from this story than I ever did in the last ten years. Okay, scratch that. The rate at which I'm learning new things about the series is much faster than it was in the past decade, but the majority of my knowledge of the series was still obtained prior to this story.
NOOOOOO dont give up on cortana shes my third favourite halo charactor
What has been said before,
and we're left wanting more.
IF YOU DON'T UPDATE SOON,
STRAIGHT TO THE MOON!
/Iron Will
actualy u are depicting master chiefs responce to cortana gone really well. in halo 3 cheif iwas going crazy looking for cortana. Like in that one cut sean when cortana was a recording and she was being corupted by grave mind he lashed out trying to hold her again. Cortana is esentialy master chiefs soule mate. without her he was sad.
922759Even thought she was an annoying biscit(SP?)
Nice chapter
hmm... chief is going through a serious mental breakdown and terrible loss, but however he must have faith if he is to find Cortana again
will master chief get through his severe state or will he just stay depressed... find out next time on "Halo: Ponies and Clouded Pasts"
922618 Ponies are more easily to befriend than humans. I remember a professor once asking how many friends we got. A lot answered that they had a lot of friends, but the next questions was "are they friends or acquaintances?" They barely meet, and really the ponies have brought more trouble to the Chief than anything.
Crashing in an alien planet, losing Cortana, being attacked by a farm pony out of nowhere, being threatened with death by their princess, forced into the vigilance of Twilight, forced to apologize got defending himself from an attacking brute, while Big Mac didn't apologize and being thrown into a dungeon and being called names by a pre-space flight that walks in all four naked and still fights with spears. And THEN forced to apologize for this "hospitality".
Sincerely I wouldn't be too keen to cooperate with them, since it seems he already lost everything.
"Aren't I your friend?"
"Why would I consider you such?"
That other halo fic made a good point, the humans have lost about 20 billion people. If the ponies see what we have suffered, they can't really have much right to claim they understand. And I can't see them bonding only out of good intention. Would be interesting is He allowed them to see his memories to the Princesses, the Elements and the guard, so they eat their words.
You know. Is it possable the changeling might have her? Here me out. People like to think they have a kind of hive mind thing going or linked like a computer network. Is it possable she might be captured but stuck in a changeling?
God dam it Chief, I was expecting you to break down the wall and simply walk out, FORCE THEM to stop you from looking for Cortana. Or hell, kill the next guard who walks by with the pistol, just to show how much the ponies are inferior in many ways.
First things first.
Luna:1\Solar tower guardspony:0
But on a serious note; This chapter really does show how broken Cheif is now. Broken to the point where he would actually end right there in that cell(By the way thanks for making my heart skip a beat). And also good job with the character interactions between Luna and the Master Chief. Considering that Luna has known the soul crushing lonliness of being locked away on the moon for a thousand years and everyone being fearful of her for a year after being cleansed of Nightmare Moon, she is probably the best pony to relate and understand what the Chief is going through.
On that note, Bravo
And one last thing, the Chief's final line to Twilight “My friends are dead, Twilight Sparkle.” He finished. “Be happy that you still have yours.”
Probably the most hard hitting quote in this story yet. Especially when you know the Chief's Legendary but tragic story.
Anyway, glad to see you didn't pay the jerk who made empty threats to you no mind. Keep up the good work!
922496 wee needs to have Arbie come to help john
Just... so... SAD!!
I'll be honest; when I read 'Halo and MLP crossover' I thought this would be silly, but I was proven wrong, so so wrong. This story is great! The most amazing thing is that NO PONY/HUMAN IS OOC!
I am finding this rather interesting... and am especially intrigued by your cut-off statement by John about his relationship with Halsey.
922558 Spank ye very much. Fixed.
922906
Which fic is that?
922602 Thanks for letting me know. Fixed.
922618 Well, no worries. He hasn't answered that yet.
923446 http://www.fimfiction.net/story/13906/Halo:--On-the-Wings-of-Angels
922906 One of the points you brought up is why soldiers and civilians have a hard time mixing. Soldiers/sailors/airmen/Marines generally keep to themselves because they feel civilians don't understand them. I've met both kinds of civilians (those who respect me for what I was willing to do, and those who hated me only because of my uniform), and while one gave me the motivation to push myself just that much harder, neither made me feel like the truly understood what kind of burden I bore.
I've had friends go off to war and come back (almost lost a few, but I've never had to experience a friend being KIA), and I could see how it changed their reactions to both groups. One was ignored, the other was given a polite smile but nothing more. Those friends of mine felt more at ease around their fellow warriors, and more specifically their unit, then around their own family.
I actually asked one what it would take for a civilian to be his friend. He answered, "Suffering. They need to understand what it means to suffer for someone else, and never be recognized for it. To be willing to die for someone, and for that fact to never be known by that person." That's one of the reasons why I want to see Sparkles and the rest of the Mane 6 should really have to work to get the Chief's friendship.
(Although, if Twi gave me that story that she told the Chief, I'd slap her and say "What do you know about friendship? I had friends so close that I called them brothers, and they died in my arms.")
922496
He went straight for Cortana and was still sitting there when Twilight found him, and I imagine he was hauled out immediately afterward. I don't think he had a chance to initiate the Cole Protocol.
Things are really getting good. "My friends are dead, Twilight Sparkle. Be happy that you still have yours." That was brilliantly tragic and powerful.
Reminds me of Halo: The Flood. Chief kills a Hunter and the other one goes berserk. Chief thinks "You only lost one brother. I lost all of mine."
Excellent work. I eagerly await the next installment.
922496
if your remember clearly the Forward onto Dawn was split into 2. Arbiter's part was the one that control slipspace jumps. MC's part was just usual ship. He couldn't activate The Cole Protocol.
And Second that's if enemy ships where chasing him.
He crashed landed in this fic.
924030 The parts of the Cole Protocol that are relevant are the "immediate destruction of any on board NAV computer with the coordinates to any human world that hasn't been found by the Covenant" order and the "destruction or capture of any ship-born AI is prohibited" order. The fact Cortana was destroyed means that there will be an investigation into how IF ONI ever gets their hands on Chief (of which he would be found innocent of any and all charges, and that is assuming that Cortana is actually dead and not meta-stable or somehow still active), and I think we can all agree that if the ponies are somehow able to pull any information from the slag that is the Dawn would be an act of God (the information simply surviving would be a miracle in and of itself).
Also, Cole Protocol is initiated upon contact with the Covenant, not while being chased. In this case it should have been already enacted and the NAV computer purged.
922496 oh shit you're right... But wait, don't they only enable it if met with covy's? Or is it every alien?
You better bring back Cortana, or I'm gonna come through with my previous promise. I Pinkie Promise it.
Cross my Heart

In my Eye.
I'm reading so many different halo crossovers that i need to re read like the last 3 chapters to figure out which one this is lolz. But all of them are awesome, write more.
edit: god damit write more
U see I was the space aliens,those damn trolls! Or suprise ending to Halo 4 no spoilerz
924445 Well. This is certainly awkward.
924445 How about a shotgun slug, if you don't stop raging at the author for EVERY LITTLE THING that you don't approve of! Really, just let the man do his work. He could have something beautiful planned out, and you'll ruin it by demanding that he bring back your favorite character!
925116 Hold up. I was overreacting on purpose. I don't rage at every thing I don't like. Yes, it had occurred to me that this is all part of the author's master plan. I apologize that one can't really get subtle sarcasm over the Internet. I wish we could! There'd be a lot less comment wars that way.
924163 It is specific to covenant.
924137>>922496 The Cole Protocol:
If any Covenant forces are detected:
1. Activate selective purge of databases on all ship-based and planetary data networks.
2. Initiate triple-screen check to ensure all data has been erased and all backups neutralized.
3. Execute viral data scavengers
4. If retreating from Covenant forces, all ships must enter Slipstream space with randomized vectors NOT directed toward Earth, the Inner Colonies, or any other human population center.
5. In case of imminent capture by Covenant forces and boarders, all UNSC ships MUST self-destruct.
(All that stuff about ship board AI. Is only ever said by Captain Keyes, it is speculated that such restrictions of the protocol would be stated in an illusive second article)
Master Chief did not violate any of these. If nothing else simply because they are not Covenant.
925110 As I said, We've got your back. Stand your ground.

Prediction: Cortana has by the grace of god survived and is actually stuck inside Twilights horn as a catalyst to her magic, but without knowing the nervous system of of pony, let alone a unicorn, is unable to vocalize that she is even there, and when Twilight tries to launch a spell to find her, she accidentally creates a small sentient being of electricity that now contains the consciousness of Cortana. But just as she gets back into the chip, a large search group of covenant arrives and he has to defend Ponyville. After the fight he is barely able with Cortana's intelligence and Twilight's magic, to repair a phantom enough to get back to space where he has to take over an entire carrier (Regular, not Super) to be able to get back home, but it crashes as the high general sends it on a collision and luckily the space drive survives impact and is able to create a rift back to earth with the help of Alicorn magic.

925760 You're pretty much dead on, except for the part about Cortana going into Twilight's horn and Twilight bringing Cortana into existence and the Covenant finding Equestria and MC taking over the carrier and there being an intact Shaw-Fujikawa/Slipspace drive and the Chief getting home through that.
No offense, brosef. Keep reading to find out what you got right!
927266 best troll comment I've gotten yet.
For those who have sacrificed all so that others may live in peace and happiness must remain in that solace until death. The Scars that taught us. The sins that made us. For us there is no happy ending but in death.
Oh, why can't I hold all of this sadness?
Again good sir, you have saddened me
