Chapter 17
“Halsey is here?” Asked Six surprise and confusion quite evident in her voice. Why and how can she be here? This was the question most evident in her mind at hearing that revelation. She should be back on Earth after getting a ride off of Reach from Castle Base. Did the same thing happen to her? What happened to Jun then?
So many questions filled her brain as she processed the information that Halsey was also here. The Spartan was brought out of her stupor however as Stanford exited through the nearby door, Six beginning to follow once more.
“Yeah, she is. Didn’t arrive the same way as us and is currently figuratively banging herself against the wall trying to understand what the hell brought her here and literally against the floor whenever she trips over her workspace.” Answered the injured Agent, limping through the dimly lit corridor. The sounds of dim conversation could be heard. Stanfords limping however caught Six’s eye. Those injuries he had sustained were quite substantial and even with the limited medical knowledge, Six had about their new bodies in general. Even she knew that Stanford probably shouldn’t be walking around. But just as she was about to bring the topic up another voice beat her to the punch
“Stanford the hell are you doing walking around like that?!” Came a high-pitched voice as the pair entered what seemed to be the main room of the complex they resided in.
“Well someone had to prevent Crowly from being turned into a red paste when he brought Six here through the teleporter.” Responded the Agent to the voice, using his injured hoof to gesture towards Six. Moving her gaze towards the voice she saw another pony wearing what appeared to be medic marine armor but changed to suit their new equine body.
“Well, you still could have sent someone else! Do you have any idea how much damage that wave did to your body!? The fact that you aren’t currently stuck in some sort of coma after that impact,” She said as she pointed at a nearby wall in exasperation.” Is nothing short of a Miracle!” Continued the Medic as Six’s gaze wandered to the wall in question. Said wall was cracked in several places with an equine sized indent visible at the center of the cracks.
Six couldn’t help but cringe very slightly at the force Stanfords body must have gone through to leave such a marking in stone and still be able to move around, and just as the medic said let alone be conscious. But who was Six to judge? She fell from orbit and lived, if anything the resilience of Stanford impressed the Spartan.
“And then there is the fact you are healing way faster than you should, you haven’t eaten anything since then and… UGH!” She threw her hooves up in exasperation. “Stupid godamn weird-ass bodies breaking several laws of Biology!”
“Alright! Calm down, Lizzie! Just look at Six over here she isn’t complaining! So calm down I’ll go lie down after I’m done. Are you happy now?” Replied Stanford trying to calm the medic turned pony down.
“Yes, but come by the infirmary then when you’re done so I can change your bandages.” She turned her attention from the changeling to the Spartan and began to smile at the sight of the super-soldier. “It’s good to have you here Six, you’re just what the doctor ordered to get us off this planet.”
Six nodded at the Medic’s comment before following the injured changeling, who was currently trying to sneak away from the medic. It appeared to have worked however as the Medic named Lizzie turned back around to head back to what Six assumed to be the compounds Infirmary.
“Whew. Don’t get me wrong I have nothing against her or any medic in the corp but she really doesn’t like this whole pony nonsense. It really gets under her skin if you couldn’t tell.” He laughed slightly.
“Anyway, we’re almost there.” Continued the Changeling, as the pair continued through the room. Six nodded in agreement at the agent’s comment although due to her training of ‘adapt or die/ the deal with it protocol’ she would take what she was given and roll with until it changed. But having her old body back would always be better than this pegasus one she had been forced into.
Looking around Six could see several other ponies along the edges of the room. Each of them looking at her with varying states of awe and what appeared to be excitement on their equine faces. They looked similar to Lizzie with some of them wearing a modified version of their marine armor. There was even a lone ODST among them, judging by the helmet by their side and the dark coloration of their armor. Each of them a different subspecies. Some had horns, others had wings just like Six, and the rest head neither like Lizzie. But what really caught Six’s eye was the ODST.
They had wings just like many of the Pegasi Six had seen, but their wings weren’t covered in feathers. The ODST’s wings we more batlike than birdlike, a dark thin membrane in place of feathers. A small white glint of fangs was visible on their slightly smiling lips, their slitted catlike turquoise eyes full of what looked like rising hope at the sight of the Spartan.
“We have roughly twenty soldiers with us right now not including the doctor. A majority of them came here the same way as us. The rest came with Halsey. I would personally recommend you tell them your story and listen to theirs as morale isn’t as good as it could be right now. So telling them about the amount of Covies you took out will give them the hope we need.” Spoke Stanford sadly. Six could only nod in agreement once more to his words.
Morale was just as important as weapons and ammunition and in this situation, it couldn’t be more true.
The pair then continued through the complex, the walls seemingly turning from stone to a faintly familiar metallic color. Six couldn’t quite place where she had seen something like this before but this definitely wasn‘t the first time she had seen this material.
Following Stanford through a metal archway, the room they entered was no longer lit by improvised light bulbs but by large glowing strips covering the walls. In Front of the pair, in the center of the room was a large metal archway. The floor was littered with random wires and pieces of paper. But what really drew the pair's attention was the cream-colored unicorn wearing the same jacket Halsey had on reach tinkering with some sort of pedestal. Her horn slightly glowing as something was muttered under her breath and scribbled onto a clipboard floating beside her, covered in the same glow as her horn.
“Doctor.“ Began Stanford grabbing the Unicorn’s attention away from the pedestal she was working on. Turning around the doctor laid her eyes on the Spartan completely ignoring the changeling who had left the room soon after speaking. Leaving the Spartan and the doctor alone in the strange structure.
“I take it you arrived the same way as the majority of those here am I correct to assume that?“
Six nodded
“Did you do it before then? Did you do what I asked before it happened?“
Six nodded again and the corners of Halsey‘s lips curled upwards.
“Good our war hasn‘t ended yet. She was right to have chosen you as her courier“ her smile grew a bit wider.“ As did I, after all, ‘great minds think alike‘ do they not?”
I promised you a chapter on my birthday, didn't I?
And when I make a promise...

happy birthday, and great chapter
So, there's a fair amount of UNSC personnel here. I wonder if they'll reveal themselves to the Princesses, reach a diplomatic agreement, or if they'll be a neutral third party in the upcoming war with the Changelings.
Update!!!

Can’t exactly be neutral at this point, you have changelings, someone who murdered many changelings in the same group.
S.M.I.L.E. will be so mind fucked that more and more strange non Equestria equicment user pop up here and there over time.
Wait, if Halsey is here, that already diverges pretty hard from Halo canon. I wonder if Master Chief or Sargent Johnson will show up?
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!
Pretty good, thus far.
Oh let the fun begin. Heeheehehahahahahahahahahaha!
Holy shit its reached 500 likes?!
10622743
I personally really enjoy it, and you keep making chapters; what did you think happen? Lol. Also, happy birthday!
Edit: Just to be clear, I meant that as a joking "You made a great story and deserve the likes." Sorry if that came across as anything else, it was intended as a "haha silly pony, you're the best, what do you mean how did you get the likes?" You're dah best, and happy birthday
That was great, well done.
Things that caught my eye:
- there is evidence suggesting more than a professional relationship between the changeling and that medic. Which is only going to infuriate her when the connection with his recovery is realized.
- thestral ODST. That is literally the best thing ever. I don't know if you're going to play into the thestral nightmother thing with her(?) and Luna (could be an interesting plot device) or she could serve as a pseudo sidekick to B312, that would be cool.
- That exchange with Halsey at the end was spot on, that is exactly how i would have expected that to go, amazing work as usual.
Happy Birthday

oh, also the story is quite good.

Oh thank God. I was so worried I would get Halsey wrong XD
10622969
You passed the introduction, now the question is: Can you manage the rest of the conversation?
Another good chapter keep it up.
Any chance other Spartans will show up?
And finally happy birthday!
10622447
At this point the divergence occurs three days into lone wolf from Halo Reach. B312 faught the covenant for (according to another user) two weeks and Halsey was recovered from Castle base after three. At this point in the story S-117 and the crew of the UNSC Pillar of Autumn would still be in slipspace, destined for Installation 04 (Alfa Halo); and months from his disappearance through the ark portal with the aft section of the UNSC Forward unto Dawn.
Loving it!~
Tho em questioning how they'll interact with Celly and Luna once they decide to come out. Truly? I thinks a bit more open honesty will be needed between Celestia and Six, or/and maybe the ODST will play the part of diplomat first.
Yay an update also could you add some SW clone troopers? If that’s ok?
Preferably Commander Fox even though he’s a team killing fucktard.

Hell yeah I can!
10623708
This level of excitement is quite exciting. You have me on the edge of my seat, god speed my friend.
10623640
sorry but noooooooooooooo.
I don't want to get the interdimensional police on my ass their already watching quite closely when Halsey was first mentioned
10624019
How about Rex or Cody?
Fun fact a single Republic Commando is the equivalent of two SPARTAN head hunters.
10624104
Eehhhh
10624104
S-IIIs are stronger and can perceive the world in slow motion. SPI however is likely not as good as Katarn and thus the question becomes a matter of tactics and frankly, I find clone commando tactics lacking.
10624095
Sorry but I don't want to break universe and go to interdimensional jail
So this is Halsey, but is this the one from Reach or the future - Halo 4 - wondering if we'll get some time-shenanigans involved in this story.
10624801
she has all her limbs and is wearing the winter lab coat so I'd assume. Also if the first thing she does is ask about Cortana then she couldn't be the one from Halo 4, that one already knows
10624246
How about Fi Skirata? He was trained by a FING MANDALORIAN!?
10624246
A single ARC trooper can take on Noble Six like Fordo or Rex.
10625943
Though not quite as zealous and carrying far more equipment Mandalorian combat tactics aren't all that dissimilar to Sangheili. Against most S-IIIs I would give it to the Mandalorian, but not those wearing MJOLNIR Mark V or better. If that isn't the case then I say flip a coin and let luck decide this match up as that is what it would ultimately come down to.
No, no they couldn't. I was referring to alfa commandos with my previous statement. ARC-77 Fordo and CT-7567 Rex were both excellent soldiers, but they were only soldiers. S-B312 was something else entirely. Motivated be vengeance yet seemingly incapable of emotion. B312 is wearing MJOLNIR Mark V and like all S-IIs and S-IIIs has "spartan time".
I believe that Fordo was better than Rex, however I still don't give him very good odds. In my opinion nine times out of ten B312 wins; same for the rest of Nobel team.
10626367
what about noble six vs pre vizla?
10627372
That would be an interesting fight. We've seen B312 take down zealots and field marshals before I see no reason why he couldn't do it again. still it must be remembered that the Death Watch were, in a way, the last of the militant Mandalorian clans before the purge. Most of Mandalore's militaristic history was lost by the time of the Death watch. (why are we still doing this?)
If anyone who studies these topics more has anything to say I invite you to comment
10627436Dont forget the True Mandalorians
I'm really excited to see where this goes!
10622447
That would be cool. The Changelings would be running for the hills screaming the Demons!
10629110
?
You mean the Changelings running scared over Noble Six ( and possibly the entire Noble Team coming back to help her)?
Also, please UPDATE your Stories for Pete's Sake!

10638283
I was referring to SonicStreak5344?
He has a Lot of Good Stories. Including Sonic, Hot Wheels: Accleracers, Spyro/Skylanders, Need For Speed, Pokemon, and even Lego Bioincle. But, all of them haven't been Updated for a Long Time.
10638303
XD
10638320
:-\
I don't know why this is funny? Since you made a minor mistake?
10638209
Oh ok.
I love this story, happy belated birthday, and eagerly awaiting the next chapter.
spartan ponies army assemble!

HERES MY ANSWER AND TRANSLATE THIS
10731656
Its fine that people take it that way because it give off the vibe. I truly didn't mean it that way. It's a very good story and I read about 5 chapters in but I just couldn't connect with the main character. Like I said, its still a vary good story, from what I've read so far. My comment and preferences should not deter you from reading this story.
I had a thought! (I will say it now but I may reiterate it should you actually appear to take this path.) Should you decide to have any of the Equestrian's learn of the nature and/or details of Orion II-Spartan II/Spartan III program(s) and confront Halsey or S-B312 about it (for whatever reason); I want it to be known that by ancient tradition all Spartans begin their training as soldiers at age six. I say this because no one seems to remember that Spartan II is not Spartan I because it was modeled after the ancient Spartans from Greece, and that the idea of training children to be the perfect soldiers is something that humanity has understood since ancient times. Also, training children to be soldiers is not in or of itself inherently wrong; but kidnapping children to be experimented on and used as pieces of military hardware is.
