I know that this is definitely right after Halo: Reach, and before Halo: CE begins.
But where is the MLP Season/Timeline are we?
11487535
Mentioned in the second part of the prologue, it's shortly after Cozy Glow's attempt at banishing all magic from Equestria
11487544
After Season 8, got it.
I must forewarned you. I eventually did read the three chapters, and I got a couple of questions to ask you later.
11487554
Alrighty.
Haven't read the story yet, but I noticed a mistake in the short description.
It says the Ad Meliora is a frigate in the short description, but it says the ship is a Cruiser in the long one.
Other than that, I am excited to read the story.
11487561
Thanks for the heads up! Hope you like the story!
WTF, Twilight!? Aren't you the FRICKIN Princess of "Friendship"!!?? You can't just semi-threaten the "alien" Captain and his loyal crew in their very own ship! Inside their very own Bridge!
Especially that he already DID apologize for "accidentally" coming here, and he or any fellow human didn't really did anything "bad/evil" against either ponykind, or anybody else?
And didn't you deal with humans already in Equestria Girls with Sunset!? How can you forget that?
And your "own armies"? Bitch please!
The pony guards/wonderbolts/lunar guard/"army" and even Princess Celestia/Luna, or any other royal DIDN'T do crap against the likes of Nightmare Moon, Discord, King Sombra, Queen Chrysalis/Changelings, Lord Tirek, Starlight Glimmer, Shadow Pony/Stygain, Storm King/Tempest Shadow. And finally, you all very recently a-l-m-o-s-t lose ALL magic to a frickin evil brat of all things!?
It was just either sheer pony dumb luck, hero "Plot Armor/Deus Ex Machina". To even the chosen villain's own incompetence, weak will, or hesitation to actually freaking KILL you, or either kill one/two/three/four/all five of your friends, or kill all six of you off to permanently achieve victory. Or several of the villains want to reform or something.
Well, we humans rarely hesitate to kill in battle/war. And the Covenant themselves definitely WOULDN'T hesitate or even change their evil ways very "easily" to slaughter you all. ( Until the Covenant's own downfall from the Great Schism in Halo 2 to Halo 3 will eventually show up? But that will probably be too late already. )
So, how the heck can you deal with Halo's humanity ( And the Covenant at the same time!? )!?
You shouldn't mess with humanity like that. You AIN'T the Covenant, so you won't last seconds against the highly experienced marines, super high tech weapons/vehicles, ODST's, and the three Spartan III's to boot.
Plus, the UNSC Ship has a still working MAC Cannon too, you dumbass princess.
And even then, the real enemy; The Covenant is right up there. With the literal Assault Carrier with the Glassing Beam, and over thousands of Covenant soldiers and vehicles too. ( Like the OP Scarabs for example. How can you deal with those? )
And trying to antagonizing BOTH sides is rather OOC, and a major dick move on endangering your planet times two.
And I doubt Celestia/Luna, and the other rulers will approve of your damn rude attitude.
Hey! Twilight should be the one to apologize for stupidity semi-threatening the captain like that. Him, and his crew already been though enough tough shit from the Covenant.
Some Princess of "Friendship".
P.S. Why doesn't Twilight recognized Humanity? Didn't Equestria Girls Series happened!?
Sorry about that. But, I am really livid at what Twilight have just said to the poor captain. Maybe, you could probably rectified this, but it's your choice.
This definitely has promise and I like it. It does however need some polishing and character consistency, particularly from Twilight. That said, try not to rush, add a little more descriptive flavour in their conversation (like their expressions when they speak to each other) and squeeze as much fun from the premise as you can.
By that, I mean give us normal pony-human interactions, especially with human civilian refugees aboard. The image of kids dogpiling one of the elements in a cuddle pile would be hilarious, adorable and heart-wrenching all at once.
Will we see Master Chief and Cortana in this?

Thank you both for your comment regarding how I wrote Twilight's first interaction with the captain. I guess I did have her come off a little too out of character here. I had the mentality that she just watched a bunch of her ponies get hurt, and even though she is the princess of Friendship, being a princess means she must stand up for her subjects, and then she comes to find an alien army landing on her home planet. I felt anyone would be hostile towards that on first notice but looking back it is a bit out of character, I will tweak this as soon as I can.
11487713
Probably not in this specific fic. Depends on where I would want to take this story later on.
11487730
Ok. If they do I can’t wait for the Chief to take on some bad guy butt.
Managed to read this up to date.
This is going to be interesting to see
Though bummed Spike miss out hard on first contact with the humans because Twilight made him stay behind(like usual..)
11487729
I forgot to say this in my previous comment. But the fact that the UNSC ship also holds some of the surviving innocent civilians of Reach, makes Twilight much more of a total bitch right there, by almost threatening them all too.
( They already dealt with the horrors of the Covenant war. They don't want to go though another potential but highly unnecessary war from a bunch of ponies/non-ponies acting like total hypocritical jerks. )
So, I hope you can also add that.
And why didn't any of her friends like Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Applejack, Rarity, Rainbow Dash, or Spike? Or even one of the Spartans/ODST's/Marines, or another human be rightfully upset at her for saying that stupid threat? They'll in the same room?
11487846
Well... to be fair, it was revealed to her that there were civilians on board AFTER her outburst which is why she settled down after wards and showed her sympathy by offering to help them get in contact with Celestia. As all she saw was parts of a spaceship almost kill some ponies in Ponyville and when she shows up to the crash, she finds an army. I thought she would be pretty upset that many of her own civilians were possibly in a great deal of danger before learning about the real situation. She didn't know what the humans had went through up until that point.
Though I still agree maybe it's a bit out of character I and I will tweak it soon.

11487888
I'm debating or not if i want to include Equestria girls on this. tbh equestria girls is not really my favorite.
11487890
Well, it wouldn't make sense that Equestria Girls does happened. But, Twilight somehow forgot to recognized humanity like that? And I doubt she has amnesia or be very forgetful like that. Not in her character. Unless you want to heavily edited it to fix this?
Or, you could just add in the summary that Equestria Girls Series didn't even happened in this story. While the MLP canon story up to Season 8, and the MLP: Movie still happened. ( Although sad that Sunset, or the Dazzlings, and Shadowbolts probably don't exist here. )
Edit: Don't comment back as of yet. I'm just copying, pasting, and quoting these sentences from your chapters, Halo reddit, and Google. So I can talk about them eventually.

11487855
You have a point there. If a group of armed soldiers roll in my front yard, I'd freak. But once I see them escorting refugees, I'd give them a cuppa.
11487892
I'd think it'd be for the best that EQG didn't happen here. Makes for a better tension as to whether or not to trust these humans.
11488100
They definitely should trust them. Why not otherwise? I mean, would you rather trust the Covenant that is on a mad genocidal rampage!? Not to mention that the Prophets are going try to activate the Halo Rings too. And we all know that is a huge bad f******* idea!!!
11488149
Look, think of it in a political perspective; would you really want to be dragged in a galaxy wide war? I know as a reader, we all know they'll have to side with humanity or get glassed, but from the character's perspective (particularly their leaders, not just the ponies) is it really their business? I mean, for all they know, humanity probably started it.
11488157
Pfft! That definitely ain't true. And luckily, Captain McCormick DOES have proof that the Covenant definitely did started it by glassing the first human planet casualty: Harvest in the first place.
Heck, the prophet of truth said his "genocidal speech" in the beginning of the war.
So, there is no good reason for the MLP Characters to suddenly not trust our heroic UNSC/Humanity out of nowhere. For stupid plot drama, just for the sake of mindless drama.
Look, I don't want to start a argument. But, I don't want either the ponies or even the non-pony creatures to start acing OOC racist/xenophobic out of nowhere, and jeopardized with the only people ( UNSC/Humanity ) that can protect them from the Covenant menace.
We already have that racist/xenophobic drama from Chancellor Neighsay against the Young Six from season 8 of all things. And he already realized his error and changed. We don't need to see round 2 against a highly-technological race like Humanity, when they go out their way to risk their lives to protect Equis from the real threat ( The Covenant ) anyway.
11487544
But sadly you did make Earthquestria a part 9f this. That would gave been a hilarious interaction.
Though surprise we have another Halcyon class ship. Pillar of autumm was decommissioned until cortana chose it to be the mussion vessel and it git its upgrades.
11488157
The covenant would enslave or glass them. As soon as both sides showed up Equis was put in the crosshairs
Celestia is probably a Covenant zealot or something like that.
One thing that I'm really annoyed is how we would dash was so argumentative and trying to start stuff when it was obvious that they didn't Land here, they crash landed and were attacked because, well, another ship of distinct, a different design hitting a ship that was already on fire, I believe. Makes a very distinct difference between them planning and them not planning to be here.
So far I am loving how this is going down. Shame there are so few decent HiE Halo fics on here, all the others seemingly have been abandoned for years. The others have them be turned into ponies.

Thank you so much for giving my story a read. It means a lot. And I share your feelings, all the really good halo fics are about the ponies going into space, but hardly any about bringing the War to Equestria. This is a passion project for me as I thought up the story about 2 or 3 years ago. I would also like to mention that the story itself is being edited while also being updated. I started writing this myself before getting a co-author who offered to help me make the story 10x better. So the writing right now is a bit inconsistent, I hope you will continue reading despite this, as it can be jarring to see while reading. Once again, thank you so much for giving this fic a read!
