Chief stood his ground, even though he knew he was outmatched and possibly outgunned. However he made no attempt at a violent first encounter. The looks on the ponies however were some of mystery, fear, and amazement. The three that stood out the most to Chief were the three Alicorns; one being dark blue and being somewhat medium on the height scale, another one was pink which was about the same size as the blue pony. The last however stood out the most, mainly because she was the tallest out of all of them. She had spoken again:
"Do you have a name?" she was more demanding this time around but to her dismay Chief kept quiet again. She now asked the pink Alicorn a question, "Cadence, do you see any hate in it? Perhaps it is sad but I could be wrong." After a brief pause the pink Alicorn known as Cadence stepped forward and her horn started glowing. Another brief pause came and her response was grim.
"Nothing, it has never known true love, perhaps not even love. I can't tell. I'm sorry." Cadence apologized.
Chief was sick of the colored equines so he headed inside of the Pelican gunship to get away from the 'chaos' that was outside. 'What is this place, why didn't Cortana send me back to Earth?' Chief thought as the Pelican's hatch was closing. Just as the hatch was almost closed it was surrounded by a yellow aura, which seemed to restrain the hatch from finishing the command. This truly pissed Chief off at this point. Chief grabbed a storm rifle and unlocked the hatch. When the hatch was open all the way he shot, what passed for angry glares through his helmet, at the tall white Alicorn. She seemed to notice and replied with a stern statement.
"I wish for you to come with us so we can question your intentions here in Equestria."
When she finished Chief aimed at her face with the storm rifle and was about to pull the trigger when an unknown force started pulling on it.
"Thou will no hurt thy sister!" this time the dark blue Alicorn was interfering. The strength of her 'force' was stronger than Chief anticipated as it had pulled him a few feet, but he in the end came out as the victor. The Alicorn looked tired from using so much energy. "How did you beat my magic?!" she questioned.
"Hey!" this time a male unicorn was yelling at Chief, "You want the Princesses you go through me!" Chief took this challenge as he stepped forward and holstered his storm rifle to his magnetic back holster. The unicorn took that as a 'give me your best shot' gesture, which he in turn gave his most powerful shot of magic he has ever produced. Chief quickly dodged the fairly large projectile while heading closer to his new enemy. Chief swung but the pony disappeared in the blink of an eye, then appeared right behind Chief, blasting another bolt of energy at the green warrior. The same routine went on one more time until Chief found a weak point in the unicorn's tactic. This time when Chief went for a hit he quickly turned around and dashed towards where the unicorn would end up, and thanks to his precise planning, landed a punch to the creature's chest. Chief grinned when he heard a few cracks, but when he turned to see the audience, they were all dumbstruck as to how Chief beat the best guard Celestia had to offer.
"That is quite enough!" the lead Alicorn finally stopped the fight before things got to rough, "You will listen to your superiors! And you will not attack again!" she commanded.
"You and what army." Chief finally spoke up. This startled all of the ponies, but the majestic white Alicorn quickly regained composure and replied:
"Thank you, now acquaintances can be held later, but for now you will come with us and answer to your crimes against Equestria." she ordered Chief like Mendez did on first day of training.
"No, you have no authority over me. Now if you don't mind I would like to be left alone." Chief responded.
"How dare you disrespect the Princess in such a way!" now one of the smaller ponies stood up to Chief, this one being lavender in color, and a female unicorn to match.
"I don't belong here, and you just asked me to bow down to your leader like a damn peasant. So no, I will never bow to your 'majesty'." Chief thought he did a good job in his argument as he looked over to the injured male with Cadence over him, "I'm sorry about your friend though. Now leave me alone." Chief started walking back to the gunship when the goddess of an Alicorn spoke up again:
"Your apologies are accepted and we would like to know you better. I'm sorry, we didn't know you came from somewhere else and apologize ourselves to this honest mistake."
'Wow, this place is f-ed up, guess an 'I'm sorry' will settle any problems' Chief thought. "What do you want me to do?" he asked, "it's the least I can do to make up for this."
"I would like you to come to the castle with us so we can question you on some things. Is that alright?" she asked.
"No it's fine, just let me grab some things." with that Chief walked back into the Pelican and grabbed his assault rifle, his magnum, and plenty of magazines. Last thing he grabbed was a Cortana's AI. chip that he pulled out before Cortana's podium got obliterated by the Didact. He placed it in his helmets interface and continued on out of the Pelican. "All right let's go." he stated.
"Brace yourself." the Alicorn warned. As she finished her sentence everyone teleported back to, what Chief assumed to be, the castle. "Welcome to Canterlot Castle." she warmly welcomed. "First things first, guard get in here please!" she commanded one of the guards guarding the main hall door to come to her, "take Shining Armor to the infirmary please."
"Yes Princess!" he respectfully replied.
She nodded her head in thanks and turned to Chief. "How will we question you strange alien?"
Everyone pondered this question when a pink female pony spoke up and gave her idea, "Let's have a slumber party!" she exclaimed.
"What?"! was all Chief could reply.
"I for one think that is a splendid idea." the Alicorn replied.
"What?" Chief asked again.
"Yes we can question him, and all share out ideas while having fun. I will have this arranged for tonight." the Alicorn spoke again.
Chief had the thousand yard stare as he heard the atrocity forcing its way into his ears. 'Fuck me' was all Chief could think.
......
It had been an hour since first contact with the ponies and Chief had already learned all the ponies names. All ten of the group walked towards Celestia's royal bedroom to commence the sleepover. To Chief's delight, he only had to answer questions. When they got to the giant bedroom doors they opened with a yellow aura around them. The room already had all the plush items for all the other ponies to cuddle with and sleep with and whatever else Chief thought they might do tonight. 'UGH!' he thought. The ponies were getting comfortable while Chief found a nice non-fluffy spot to lie down on. 'This is the most ludicrous thing I've agreed to do, and I went through Spartan training, which was Hell!' he though again.
"Shall we get started with the questions then?" Celestia asked.
"Fine." Chief sternly replied.
"I'll go first," Twilight offered, "alright, so what is your name?"
"That's classified." Chief responded.
"Then what was your job?" Fluttershy asked.
"That's classified." he responded again.
"Have you ever been in true love?" this time Cadence asked the question.
"........................No I have known love beyond who is dead."
This made everypony in the room gasp at the sudden sadness they heard.
"What did you mean 'Who is dead'?" Cadence asked again.
"Where would you like me to start?" Chief asked.
when he says love i hope hes talking about kelly 087. Not the AI he knew for what 2months (btw the time in cryo dosnt count) becuase that would be dumb
. but cool so far.
i will say the chief in a slumber party with the prinncesses is THE MOST original idea i have ever heard.
Love it, but one problem, why the hell would chef come with them, he is a spartan super solder, dealing with possibly hostile sentient, also he just lost HIS FREAKING AI if chef wouldn't be cracking pony heads together just for that, his mission would be to wait for retrieval and deal with any "Problems" that may arise, still, that's just how I see the chef, as they said at the beginning of halo 4, spartens are anti-socal, war tool, and they don't play nice.
Keep up the good work

All my yes to this! You're doing an amazing job so far, so please keep up the good work!

Don't mean to be an ass but it's Chief not Chef. Second, he already beat the shit out of the captain of the guard with one punch. Third why would he wait for evac on a presumably unknown planet in the middle of God knows where. Just my ideas for a story.

Yeah it came to me in a dream, Luna came to get me on Earth and she took me to a slumber part with Cadence, Celestia, and Luna herself. Let me just say that dream was fucking amazing!
What is this, I don't even-
Never mind...not going to say anything bad. Just going to stop reading this and be on my way. Good luck on this story.

have twilight or celestia do a memory spell and see ALL of his memorys from boot on Reach to detonating a nuke in his hand in front of his face.

1. Kelly is alive and thus not classified under "those who are dead"
2. The Cheif and Cortana were together a lot longer than two months, closer to a year or two, also excluding cryo sleep
3. Waka waka hey hey.

Fuck the haters
One more 'Chief beats up ponies' beginning to a fanfic and I'm gonna start collecting peoples skin T_T. Seriously, Chief is severely OOC in this.
1624408 yes kelly is alive in glass lands but this is years later she could have died since then and chief meet cortana in what september 2552 the war ended march 2553 so 2 months is of a tad bit but a year is way off. (not trying to be a dick)
1624287that would be kelly-087
Great story so far, keep going
1624287
It's spelled "John" not "jhon".
1623961 huh i had a dream about ponies.... never acted on it. twas a conversion bureau dream of sorts. only the forced kind. i remember running through Perth city (the capital city of my state here in Australia) as ponies were dive bombing people with potions turning them into more of em. you know that dream revealed alot to me. people can always state what they would do in a situation but its so different when your in it. and it was one realistic dream. i still remember screams as people ran and the city burned for some reason.
anyway on a non dream related topic i like your story. the chiefs personality is nice however id think he'd be more.... emotionally compromised but... meh your story.
also i envy your dream. you got to experience ponies without running in terror trying to find a hiding spot as people screamed all around you
1632074
LOL
1632297 wasnt funny for me.... celestia is scary when shes pissed surrounded by fire and comanding pegasi royal guards to convert you
1636393
No, how you changed topics so fast. I'm sorry your nightmare scared you. Should'a said more than LOL. A mustache for you!
Once again, the typical "bring all the main cast to have a vain confrontation and then go to the castle peacefully".
Chief is also OOC, he does NOT speak that much either in speech or thought.
Why the fuck do all you Halo fans do it the same way? Only ONE story has done it right with Noble Six moments away from killing Celestia.
School for New Writers will help you immensely!

I know your comment is old as fuck, but I was reminiscing over my past works and I couldn't pass up the opportunity to reply to you. This was written almost three years ago. It was my second story, let alone my only released work at the time. About a year after I wrote it, I looked at it again, and I knew, with every fiber of my being, how fucking awful this story really is. It's just...so bad. No coherent story laid out, terrible character development, and god-awful writing over all. I wrote it for shits and giggles when Halo 4 came out, that's it. My writing skills have improved ten fold since then. After reading all the shitty Halo-fics out there, mine included, I finally see how hard it is to write the Chief. It's difficult if you think about it. Quiet protagonist in a talkative world is an extremely hard thing to formulate into a coherent story without breaking the character's original personality. In that Noble Team fic you talked about, Six doesn't really talk as much as the others because that is her personality. She is also in a group setting with individuals she is familiar with. There is no telling what Six would do alone. That was one example of silent protagonist, but she has other characters to bounce off of when she is talking.
But I digress. Back to the point: I know how shitty my work is, and I want to release a well-written story with captivating character development, and an already well thought out story. I wrote this in in such a short time, and I didn't even think ahead in the story. Look at the end antagonist. If you can't already tell, I shat him out write before he entered the story.
I was laughing the whole time I was typing this out, so if anything doesn't make sense, I apologize.
Have a good one.
