6. First Impressions
As the guardspony ran out of the cover of the small overhang, everything seemed to slow down for a few seconds. He ran past the crater where his close friend Self Sacrifice had been utterly destroyed. He ignored the fact that he would probably look like that in a few seconds.
He dove through the line of trees at the edge of the clearing and continued to run. He felt the heat of one of the green balls charge past him by five feet; a narrow miss. What had caused it to miss though? Had the Princess begun her attack on the creature? He was sure that she had perhaps been able to at least escape.
It was then that he heard a muffled thump, completely different from the large creature's strange weapon. He completely turned around and saw that he was no longer in sight of the clearing. "Oh no!" He began running towards the line in the trees and burst through to see that there was orange blood and gore covering almost every inch of the trees in area.
As he finished his observation, he was overcome with shock. Whatever had done this, could it have done it to the Princesses? He quickly found the being responsible for the death of the giant. It was standing close to the Princesses and getting closer. He would not allow it to hurt them! He grabbed a nearby spear from his fallen friend. The beast hadn't noticed him yet; he still had the element of surprise. He leveled the spear and charged.
~~~~~~~~~~
"Call me Master Chief," the Chief said. He needed another person he could trust, and it was looking like these ponies were going to be the only ones he could trust after Cortana. He was about to walk forward to examine the rest of the group that was currently hiding from him, when suddenly there was a moving white blip rushing towards his six.
He turned just in time to catch a spearhead with the side of his arm instead of his back. The metal head and wooden shaft shattered. He easily slid around to the side and threw a quick jab to the pony's side, denting the armor and fracturing the rib. He didn't want to hurt the pony too bad, just in case came back and bit him later.
"No!" a female voice cried out. Suddenly, a second blip rushed at him at speeds that surpassed even Kelly. He braced himself just in time thanks to the augmentations Halsey gave him. By the time the object hit him, it had all the effect of a tennis ball being thrown against a brick wall. He looked to see who had flown into him. He saw that it was a cyan pegasus mare with a mane and tail of rainbow colors. She was unconscious with a lump swelling up on her forehead. She would have a heavy concussion just from running into him headfirst.
"Chief look out!" Cortana shouted as the original pony in armor charged at him again, but this time with a new friend. It was yet again another mare, but this one was orange with a blonde mane and tail. Just before they got to him, they stopped, turned around, and were preparing to double buck him when Cortana suddenly yelled out, "Chief, mild power building! It's coming from the white of the two normal sized horses!" Just as Chief brought his arms to bear to guard from the attack, a gold aura enveloped his entire body and the two charging ponies.
"ENOUGH!" Yelled the same pony whom Cortana had just identified was charging power. She levitated all of them, including the injured mare to the ground in front of her. She set the mare down on the ground in front of her. “We came here guard, to investigate the area of effect where the larger object landed, and to also possibly make peaceful meetings with any alien life forms!”
The guard visibly paled and hung his head in shame. “I am sorry milady, I have failed you.” As she released him from the field of magic, he walked over to where the Chief was still being held. “I am sorry creature. I was overzealous and thought you were attacking my Princess. I hope you will forgive me.” Just like the others, he did not expect the creature to know perfect Equestrian, so you would have to understand his surprise when Chief replied.
“You should get that cracked rib checked.” The Chief knew the feeling of panic that the guard had no doubt felt. “It’s fine. I know how you felt.” The orange mare looked at him in surprise as she was lowered next.
“Applejack, I understand why you charged out to defend Rainbow Dash, but next time, give me a little more time to get things under control.” The white alicorn, which Cortana had told Chief she was when she had been talking to the guard, said.
“Ah understand Princess. I’ll give ya’ll enough time next time we meet a weird alien thing-a-majig.” The mare walked over to her friends, who were gathered around Rainbow Dash. John now had a good view of the rest of the group. It included two alicorns; a white one with a rainbow mane and tail and a smaller light blue one with a night-like tail and mane, six guards, and six ponies that looked more like civilians.
John wasn't too worried about these ponies, except for one; the pink one. She just sat there and looked at him with a smile before going to her fallen friend.
"Ok then 'Master Chief', I'm going to put you down. Do not try anything. My name is Princess Celestia." The glow around the white alicorn's horn vanished as did the aura around Chief, releasing him from the golden prison. "First of all, what is the name of your species?"
Since she appeared to be genuinely curious, Chief went ahead and told her. "My specie's name is human." As soon as he finished this though, Celestia's eyes opened wide in rage and her horn began to glow a more brilliant gold than before.
"Chief! There's an energy signature building around her horn again, and it's much stronger than before! She's going to send a blast of energy at you!" Cortana was now incredibly worried. She hadn't seen an energy source like this before. It could pick up objects and shoot beams but it seemed as though it came naturally to the unicorns and alicorns.
"Cortana, remember the training course with the anti-scorpion missile? Can you track how fast the beam shoots so that I can deflect it?" Of course Cortana would never forget the test she and John had first passed together. However, this would be harder since she had no idea how fast these bolts of energy could move, and the amount of energy the alicorn's horn was emitting was incredible; easily the same amount of destructive power of an anti-tank missile! This was not a creature you would want as an enemy.
The light of the horn was now blindingly bright. The Chief noted that the lavender unicorn had noticed what Celestia was doing and was trying to stop her. Suddenly, a beam of pure light shot forward from her horn straight towards Master Chief. Time slowed down for him, so he almost didn't need Cortana's help deflecting, almost.
As he brought his right hand across his chest, the shields on the palm of his hand hardened. His palm connected with the bolt of light, the two different energies fighting each other for a fraction of a second before his shields won. The bolt shot off into the forest, going a good fifty feet before creating an explosion that left a crater twenty feet in diameter. The civilians stared at their Princess and the crater in shock; they had never seen their leader so mad.
Since the Chief was distracted for half a second, he was quickly enveloped by the golden glow again. “You humans! I told you to stay away from this planet thousands of years ago! But you never listen! You come down in your big ships and constantly try to push us out! In fact, it’s been so long since I last saw a human that I had forgotten what you all looked like!” She was fuming, almost literally. “Now, I am going to cast spell that will allow us into your mind, so we may see what your leaders were thinking, sending you here alone.” And so, she proceeded to unlock and take off his helmet.
~~~~~~~~~~
Twilight was in shock. All of this had happened so fast. The large creature defeated by an explosion from within, the Master Chief then knocking Rainbow out without even trying, making the Princess so mad that she had used over half of her power to create an explosive piece of magic only to have it deflected by the bipedal human, and now, she was going to see the memories of this creature.
Celestia pulled the helmet off of the human, revealing his face. It was odd, the creature definitely had a face, but it was like her mind couldn’t put the face into perspective. She couldn’t even describe what it looked like.
Celestia walked up to the creature, horn aglow and was about to touch it to his forehead, when the Master Chief spoke. “Be careful, you may not like what find inside of my memories.” Celestia hesitated for a moment before proceeding to touch the horn to his head.
Suddenly, as a darkness began to overtake Twilight’s mind, she heard a feminine voice, the same as earlier surprisingly, yell out, “Chief!” Then the darkness completely overtook her.

Grrrrrrr
Moar updates!
1833750 But I just updated it!
This has a very rushed feel. Just a large number of missing and mispelt words.
Needs a couple mistakes fixed here and there and it feels a few sentences are missing, but overall good job.
As for the actual chapter, interesting. Seems kinda ooc for celestia to instantly go epic rage mode, but I guess this was explained with the humans attacking thousands of years ago.
Overall I give you 5/5 spikestaches, keep it up
I would suggest explaining more about how Celestia grew angry. She was curious about the MC one second, and as soon as she hears the he is a human, she tries to kill him, which is very un-celestia-like. I'm not sure about Celestia trying to kill the Master chief in cold blood; it seems like something she would never do. I think it would be more Celestia-like if you have her try to wipe his memory or something.
1833804 Don't worry. It'll be explained in later chapters
1833815
make sure celestia gets her horn and brain blown
I think you're missing "hit"
forgot a space between overtake and twilight.
Good chapter though princess Celestia wouldn't be such a tyrant. She'll also be mortified by his past being an orphan and having to defend humanity.
ten bucks says lord of admirals is involved
make who ever witnesses this have a mental break down, cause you know parents training friends squad mates battles gores Flood
that would be funny
troll.me/images/afraid-rainbow-dash/ive-seen-some-shit-man.jpg
1834011
Shoot first and warn Forerunner civillians later (maybe), that sounds like him.
Plus, what ever the Lord of Admirals did to cause an reaction in Celestia by the mere mention of human must have been pretty bad.
What a cliff hanger, man, cantr wait till next chapter its so good
Great chapter, hope you update soon.
Alright, screw this story.
y do the ponies get to see master chiefs face and we don't ?
So pre-forerunner humans came to Equestria?
maybe a little bit moar?
I doubt Celestia could chase humans especially forunner humans off of anything there weapons and ships alone would have destroyed any resistance before they had even landed
1834441 It was more of a way that they saw his face but for some reason, it's like his face is blurred out to them. This point will be more brought out when they may or may not meet someone else.
Of all the stupid things you could do...

...you decided to read Chiefs memories...
1834085
I wouldn't recommend it!
1835268
Yes... I agree with you completely, even someone like Celestia can't match up for the new threats and horrifying things the chief has seen. She better have PTSD after seeing his memories, or at least very shaken up.
1834771
1835165
Oh... they were prehistoric humans? Haha... oh this is just rich. Celestia wouldn't be able to do jack shit against them. If you have read the wiki you would know that the Ancient humans weren't a force to be trifled with. Ancient humans would have defeated the forerunners if they had not just got out of a full scale war with the Flood. (which they won at the cost of 2/3 of their population) I'm sorry Mr.author, you're going to have to spin one huge tapestry to explain away how Celestia defeated the pre-historic Humans.
Yeah, author no offense the humans would have destroyed equestria.......... Also, I hate it when celestia just has the ability to mind rape someone. It gets fucking annoying after the first 500 times I've read it. She is going to be scarred for the rest of her life.
1836219 She didn't fefeat them. Everyone stop assuming things! Just watch how they turn out! I have a plan!
1836599
I apologize for assuming, however, she had to AT LEAST be able to hold her own, because from what the wiki tells us, the ancient humans were just as greedy as we are now, and wouldn't really care for a smaller species after the flood war if they stood in the way of a planet that was habitable (cause of forerunner-human war)
1834441Halo 4 legendary ending master chiefs face U HAPPY NOW?????
1835268
agreed. I cant wait to see how scarred the ponies will be.
Where is Cortana?
Yeah there is something wrong, its to short
1835268 they are gonna have nightmares for centuries.
Celestias about to have her mind shatterd by cheifs memories
You know what pisses me off more than cliches.. When Celestia, just decides that in her "endless and almighty" wisdom that she can just mind rape people/ponies. That's really what pisses me off in most of these stories. I mean, in real life, if the government had that kind of ability at all and used it on me. I would be going after their blood afterwards. Mind rape man, its basically raping his mind. I personally hope Celestia ends up in a vegetable state, or maybe some permanent brain damage!!
... Ok, maybe we should stick with scarred for the rest of her life from horrible images at least???? 
1838347 I totaly agree
1838347 After what Chief has been through? I'm guessing at the very least mind-crippling PTSD.
i wonder... after the first glassed planet will celestia think she's seen enough and try to kill him?
1845774 You'll just have to wait and see
1838347
Gotta agree here. I would be beyond anger if some decided they could look through my mind like that.
Although under more cordial circumstances I might let the princesses into my mind willingly.
1845774
Celestia being able to kill chief?
1845774 the keyword: try
1835268 don't forget this

also don't forget this
AND DEFINANTLY DONT FORGET CHIEF'S PROUDEST MOMENT
1875691 I should have put those in, but damn it that ending made me sad again
Man, it's so annoying when Celestia knows about the humans. It's so cliche.
This is a cliche...
That i like seeing
I SEE WHAT YOU DID THERE
I see hat you did there!
I don't understand why everyone who writes a Halo fic do not know how fast John really is. Sure he is not Kelly fast but with the suit, the augmentations, and Cortana, John's reflexes are as fast as lightning. Oh well it's your story, not mine. I love it anyways
2361940 The real question is WHY WOULD HE LET HER??!?!!
4466177 Another one of those times , in wich you want to strangle the life out of Celestia.
Thank you for not describing his face
Head canon or not I don't want to know
