The Four Strangers
What Do We Do Now
"Time... has taught me patience! But basking in new freedom, I will know all that I possess!" - Gravemind (Halo 3)
"You want us to do what now!?" Yelled out Obigation and Mercy at the sound of Tolerances idea.
"Its not that dangerous and besides, this plan has the best chance of succeeding." Replied Tolerance.
"No, I'm sorry brother, but the odds against us are just too high!"
Tolerance looked from Obligation to Mercy for support from said brother, but he wasn't going to help him.
"I have to agree with Obligation with this one Tolerance, usually I would agree with you, but there are too many risks with this plan!" Yelled Mercy.
"WeLl, I ActUally agReE, tHe plAn mAY bE riSkY, bUt iT's wOrTh A trY."
"Well it's the only plan I could think of that may actually work!" Tolerance yelled back to Mercy.
"Do EithEr Of yOu haVe aNy GOod idEaS TheN?" Added Restraint.
The two opposing Juggernauts looked at each other as they thought about it for a few minutes, as they did they didn't notice that the moon had descend under the view of the trees and the sun was beginning to rise on the other side. After a few more moments, the two agreed on a decision.
"Well, how are we exactly going to cloak ourselves and then make equine holograms for ourselves?" Asked Obligation.
"And we don't even know what an adult male equine looks like." Mercy added in the last comment, but Tolerance as usual, was prepared for everything.
"I still have the cloaks and holograms that we were studying before we were blasted into space." Tolerance took one of his arms and make a good sized hole in his side with it, causing six cloaks and eight holograms to fall out, afterwards the hole slowly closed up to have Tolerance return back to normal stature. Mercy looked at the equipment and back to Tolerance.
"Only you would keep extras of everything inside yourself."
"Well, Mercy my planning ahead just saved us large amounts of trouble and time."
"CaN wE sTOp bickEriNg aNd beGIn wOrKing oN tHiS pLaN, ThIs pLanEt's sUn HAs alrEAdy stArted tO riSe ANd ThE yOUnglIngs wOn'T sTAy inActIve foRever."
Obligation had to agree with Restraint, they didn't have time to waste as they saw that the most of the sun can already be seen over the trees, "Restraint is correct, we need to start moving, Tolerance can you modify the cloaks to function more efficiently and modify the holograms to work with the users movements."
"All I need is time to work with."
"You will get that time and more if you need it. Okay then with that part settled, Restraint I want you to move ahead and observe for any clues on the appearance of the male equines, if we see any. Mercy, you and I will carry the younglings so they don't get harmed."
Restraint left the clearing and into the forest in the direction that was pointed earlier, while the other three were preparing to follow, Mercy grabing the pegasus filly and some rare, but discarded alloys and metals, Obligation looked at Mercy in curiosity. Mercy took notice of this and said, "We need to be prepared in case the populace has some type of currency."
Obligation being satisfied with the answer took hold of the other two fillies and Tolerance took the cloaks and holograms and began to work on them. All three took a moment to look back at the space debris, knowing they would never see it again heading into the forest to follow Restraint.
=====
It was a beautiful morning in Ponyville, the birds were singing, ponies were starting to come out of there homes, greeting each other at the starting of a new, harmonious day. Inside of the local library a certain lavender colored unicorn mare was beginning to stir. Twilight squinted her eyes against the sun streaming in through the windows, casting rays of light that filled the room. Rubbing her eyes with a hoof, she sat up in bed, preparing herself to get up and prepare for the new day. She went straight to the bathroom to clean herself up. After she had finished her bathroom routine and now was fully awake, she saw Spike, still curled up in an adorable little ball and gently prodded him with a hoof.
“Spike,” she whispered, “wake up.”
After a few moments of waiting she poked him again, “Come on, now, you gotta get up! It’s a new a beautiful day. We've got stuff to do!”
Spike grumpily got up from his sleep, rubbing at his eyes with both hands. As spike showered and readied himself for the day, Twilight stretched out and sat down in a chair in the main lobby. She was reading a book that she had numerous times before on the magic of sentient non-pony beings, and the interesting thing was they could almost be classified as the pony races were. Gryphons were the fliers of the non-ponies. The minotaurs roughly represented the earth pony race. And the crystal ponies, while something like a pony, still were considered non-pony, and thus were the magic wielders. The Changelings both had a horn and wings, but were also strong and represented a mix of all three. Twilight was engrossed in the book yet again, and almost didn't hear the panicked knock on the door. Twilight put her book down and started to walk towards the door, but before she could reach it the door burst open with Rarity, Applejack, and Rainbow Dash looking at the unicorn with faces of worry and desperation. Twilight taking notice of this, started to get ideas in her head of things that the girls may be upset about. They were all panting, trying to regain their breathes, when Spike walked into the room. Rarity zoomed past Twilight and faced Spike.
"Uh, hi Rarity...what's up?"
"Oh, I'm just peachy darling, say have you seen Sweetie Bell today." Replied Rarity as she was trying to act as ladylike as can be.
"Hey Twilight have you seen Scoots, she was supposed to met me near the field so I could help her learn how to fly, but I haven't seen her anywhere!?"
Twilight didn't have time to answer Rainbow's question before Applejack joined in.
"And Ah haven't seen Applebloom since last night when Ah put her to bed!"
Everypony in the room stopped talking, moving, just thinking by putting the dots together, while Spike, not being a pony, slowly walked back into the kitchen. They continued to think about the events that happened the day before. They all knew that the girls wanted to go see Zecora sometime yesterday for something really important so they could try something to get their cutie marks. After a minute or so the girls all came to the same conclusion.
"THE EVERFREE FOREST!"
please continue
It's going to be hilarious when they find out they've befriended 18-foot tall killing machines. (If they do actually befriend them.)

Yes, indeed, good sir.
TROLLESTIA GET OUT OF HERE!
1953251
I told her not to mess with my computer, and this is what I get.
BANHAMMER TIME!
Oh god... NOOOOOOOOO!
I moustache in your general direction! (Good story idea, keep it up!)
1953297
Thank you
1953308
You are most certainly welcome.
aww yeah... Let the games begin!
well, it was ok, except for that jumping speech of one of the giant flood thingies. oh and i'd laugh my ass of if there were some human gamer in ponyville.

Ya the jumping speech thing with Restraint will disappear ounce he starts wearing the hologram-cloak, but it will return every time Restraint drops his disguise.
He will also be typed normally when he is speaking telepathically.
They are Juggernauts, like take the strength of ten hunters + the speed of a ghost on boost + brainpower greater than the Gravemind.

sorry, Windows XP here. Only first Halo, but it was quite fun.

The Juggernauts are do not appear in the any of the Halo games, but they are imbedded into the Halo 2 disk and can be put into the game if you mod it or you reactivate the codes.
That doesn't mean Juggernauts aren't cannon, in fact the Juggernauts are cannon and are an official part of the Halo franchise, they are just considered such a rare type of flood that you don't fight them, they are mentioned in Halo books.
Juggernauts=cannon, just never used in games, never made a death animation, said it was too complicated to make one for such a complex Flood Form.
The only problem so far is some grammar mistakes, but since this story was made in 2013, I'll let this slide
interesting idea I personally have never seen a story like this before so this should be interesting to read and a plus is that its actually complete so GREAT JOB MAN!!!.
I like Tolerance than any of the prophets with him, unless he turn into a pain in in the flank (indirect for pain in the ass)
