Promethean 27-B


I am the only one standing...

Source

(A HALO and My Little Pony: Frendship is Magic crossover)

Promethean Unit 1889-3782-3378-0027-B...

First, born a Dragoness...

Then, a Soldier...

Then, a Promethean...

Then, a Weapon...

Now? She doesn't know...

Forerunners turned her into one of their ultimate weapons in order to hunt down the Flood. But after the conclusion of the deadly War, what is she to do? What does a weapon do with this freedom in peace? Do you try to protect it? Do you try to destroy it? Or do you try to blend in and let the chips fall where they may?

As 27 attempts to blend into this new society of 'ponies' to find answers to her questions, she is confronted by many wonderful and kind things. But unbeknownst to her, she was followed by something from her bloody past, a monument to her sins...

27’s commander designs flared bright red in further annoyance as the Binary Rifle mounted on her back fired again and again, trying to keep the flood pinned down.

That's a great gun and all (it's actually one of my favorites), but boy howdy does it suck for crowd control. It'd suck even more against the fast moving Flood. Man, do I feel bad for you, 27...

Three of them held Light Rifles and took aim, but the last one was a Flood Pure Form; a tank that held an Incineration cannon.

Yeah, if there's one thing you avoid like the Flood in Four, it's those damn Incineration Cannons... Sorry, doll. You just can't have a good day, now can you?

‘Finally… A challenge’ 27 thought. She backed away a little more and summoned the famed sentry gun that only a few Prometheans could summon.

Eh... I don't particularly like this explanation. I mean, if humans can summon the damn thing with their inferior tech, then why the fuck would the Prometheans, the CREATORS of the damn thing have any trouble constructing one? Just saying, you might wanna change that.

As it bucked, 27 fired a whole magazine of her Suppressor into its back, weakening its armor.

Now I'm sorry for what I'm about to say. But, that's a mistake, right there. That gun is called the 'Suppressor' for a reason, ya know! It's meant for crowd control! So, why was she not using it against the Flood? For a supersmart AI, that's just plain dumb. To fix that, just switch the two. Binary goes against the tank, and Suppressor goes against the hoard. That was a really stupid mistake. Besides, one Binary Round to the skull, and that thing would just be a pile of ash.

With twin hardlight cannons mounted in the nose and a plasma torpedo launcher mounted in the belly, it was a force to be reckoned with in the terms of aerial combat.

Might wanna switch that to Void Combat. Ya know. Void of space? But since there's no air, what you have down doesn't really make a whole lotta sense.

The rear engine pointed down and the ship leached up about a meter before shooting out the hanger like a bat out of hell.

Lurched. But, good imagery here. I like it.

Forerunner, San'Shyuum, Unggoy, Kig-Yar, Sangheili, Human and many more races of ship made up the death toll.

Good job on putting the major races up there without it being out of place. Nice.

That thought echoed through her head and it tore what was left of her heart apart as a small piece of debris bounced off her fighter’s shields. 27 sighed and looked at the piece of debris that hit her ship to find… a floating stuffed animal, half its face gone. 27 tried to look away and dismiss it, but found she couldn’t.

Painful, dark, and dreadfully, deeply disturbing mental picture. Wonderful job.

27 spun the ship around to the source of the rupture and found that human same human cruiser as before with its slipspace drive exposed, leaking its fuel into the blackness of space.

Switch that with, 'the', mmkay?

The ship, moving at about 443.7 meters per second dogged the ships left and right, rolling around the debris to avoid the all consuming blast chasing her. 27 was moving fast, but the blast was faster. Slowly, but surly, the blast was catching up.

Dodged, and surely.

‘Come on, COME ON!’ 27 thought as the blast closed in. She banked left to avoid a dislodged engine then right again to doge a large, warped piece of metal.

You are really having problems with that word.

But all this dodging, fancy or not, is slowing her down, and the blast was almost upon 27. Now inches from the rear of her ship, the fighter’s sensors (as well as her own) were going crazy. Audible alarms rung over the ship, and before 27 knew it, she was engulfed in the slipspace explosion.

And it's spelled right, here... Derp.

But the ship did finally make landfall in a place where future residents would call the ‘Everfree Forest’. The ground under the fighter shook as if in pain when the ship struck in the middle of a clearing, and was left to rest. It’s sole occupant still offline, waiting to be revived.

And... How, exactly, do we know it's gonna be the Everfree? Just say, 'But the ship finally did make landfall in a large forest clearing.' Then add everything after that.





All in all, this is really enjoyable. Fix those mistakes, and you should be golden for this chapter. Once you do that, go to some Halo groups, Message random strangers and link them to your story. Design a message that you can just copy and paste from message to message, and I can tell you that this story would be a pretty decent hit. While I cannot finish pointing out mistakes tonight, as I am dead tired, I will continue tomorrow. Probably.

27 awoke with a jolt and sat up, pain lancing up her spine… well, what’s left of it.

I got your back... Hehe... Anyway, in all seriousness, change that 'what's' to 'What Was'. 'What's' is for present tense.

‘This doesn’t make any sense… this radiation is almost too powerful… chaotic if that word can be used to describe it’ 27 thought. She needed to

find the source of this radiation and study it. 27 scanned it further, finding the source is somewhere above her.

Well, now we know exactly where we are in the timeline, without it being shoved up our ass on a platter. Neat. But, why are those extra lines there?

After a painfully slow dig to the serface, the surface greeted her with unrelenting rays of sun light, and 27’s HUD darkened to filter out the light. 27 stood at her whole height and shook herself like a dog to remove most of the dirt that refused to fall off.

Now there is a very amusing picture, a Promethean, race of races, behaving like a simple pack animal.

After Shy was a pink pony with either a horn or a set of wings, seemingly hopping along with a large grin plastered to its face. The pink pony’s main was unruly and untamed as its blue eyes scanned the area around her with unnatural glee. 27 tilted her head, confused at the pony’s action. Did she not see its home was in shambles? 27 dubbed this pony Hyper Pinkie.

Eh... Might want to call this, 'Hyper Pink'. Easier to read, and seems less forceful to the reader.

27 tracked the pony’s trajectory, and found they were advancing on a hill where a throne was mounted. Upon the throne was a creature that

27 has never seen before, and possibly never would have imagined herself.

Odd spacing in an otherwise perfect environment. Oh, and I'm loving the descriptions of the Ponehs.

There was no error, that action she just witnessed really happened.

Might wanna add a 'had' before 'just'. Easier to read.

“NO!!!” the creature yelled before becoming enveloped in light. The creature under the beam then began to change on a molecular level, skin,

tooth, and claw becoming stone.

God, what is it with this chapter and strange spacing? It's like last chapter's 'Dodge'.

‘Things just got interesting…’ 27 thought, ‘I should keep my eyes on them…’

Gee, really? I would never thunked...

27 moved quietly back to her crashed ship, her active camouflage still on.

Since when is it working again? Please tell me.

‘What was that anyway?’ 27 thought, referencing the weapon ‘I have never seen a weapon like that before… the capability to turn any object to stone and neutralize radiation in the process…’

How does she know it was a weapon? An assumption? This should be, '27 thought, referencing the jewelry.' You also forgot a period, there, as well as a capitalization.

27 mentally reviewed the attack over and over again, trying to make sense of it. The energy the weapon produced was impressive; to the point it trumped her.

Trumped means 'beaten'. Try 'stumped'.

She has seen many things in the Universe, many strange, wonderful, and horrifying things, and this weapon is like nothing 27 has seen and may surpassed some weapon the Forerunners have created.

'Has' becomes 'has'. And, I'm seeing WAY to many numbers. It's messing up the flow of reading. Try switching them with 'her' and 'she'.

She landed on the deck of the large fighter with an audible clunk,

audible, 'clunk'

27 ripped the secured panel off its hinges and let it unceremoniously fall to the ground.

HOW ARE YOU SPELLING THINGS LIKE THIS RIGHT, BUT FUCK UP SIMPLE WORDS?! BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!! IT'S ENOUGH TO MAKE AN EDITOR GO MAD!!!

‘This unicorn is a whole 22 minutes early… Damnit! Why didn’t plan for this!’

Why didn't plan for this, indeed... Where is the 'I'?

“Uh oh… twitch incoming” Pinky stated to no one, and began to list the twitches in order to herself…

Pinkie, Pinkamena, Miss Diane, Miss Pie, and the list goes on. However, 'Pinky' isn't on it.

‘Come on 27, up… UP!’ she demanded herself. She placed her hoofs under her and pushed up.

Hooves.

She had a steel grey coat. Her main was messy and short, and slightly darker then her coat, but with a thick red stripe running down her main.

Mane.

27 walked past the foliage, feeling it brush up against her new fur, and the humidity, all feeling she had never felt in a long time.

Add, 'things' after 'feeling'.

‘Ancestors, it’s like the worlds larges bar fight down there…’

Largest. Bar-fight.

‘So that was Celestia?’ 27 thought, ‘I thought she would be taller’ she then chuckled at her own jest, and decided to follow Twilight and her friends up the steps.

Capitalization.

“Please, just call me Rainbow or RD, everypony else dose” she said with a smile. 27 nodded and smiled back.

Does.

I would like you to note I am correcting the big or obvious mistakes. Not the tiny, minute ones. You'll need a real Editor for that.

6410946 Thank you for your reviews! :twilightsmile:

I’m very sorry for the very late reply and for the amount of mistakes I have embedded into my story, for I do not have as much time as I would like to work on this story with school, marching band, homework, and sports bogging me down. But as soon as you read this reply, the mistakes you have noted will be almost or already corrected and I have a good start on the next chapter!

Again, thank you for the reviews and corrections (I don’t think I would have found those mistakes on my own :twilightsheepish:)

6455166 Neat! And, it's cool. I have a soft spot for High Altitude, Low Open games (Yes, that's what HALO stands for.), and this? Using a Promethean? God, it's waving meat in front of a starving dog. I love it. I'll re-read it once those major mistakes are fixed.

Forerunner, San'Shyuum, Unggoy, Kig-Yar, Sangheili, Human and many more races of ship made up the death toll.

Unggoy and Kig-Yar were not around back then.

The Lekgolo weren't around during the Forerunner-Flood War, and even if they were the Halos would not have killed them, since they can't be infected by the Flood.

no one truly knows where the Flood came from,

Well, the Forerunners did; the Primordial told them. I find it odd that they would not share this knowledge with 27, since it ties into the Flood's true motivations...

Sorry for all the lore nitpicks, but I'm just really passionate about the Halo series.

I would like to see a Pony Fim version of The Boxcar Children

Yeah they were, but they weren’t space faring though IIRC.

So, is 27 a Prometheon mutant (who resembles a dragon) or someone that got recruited by the Forerunners during the final days of the Forerunner-Flood War?
