> Master Chief's Fall To Equestria > by LazyAva04 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Chapter 1: Radio Silence > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Pain. Death. War. That is all Petty Officer Sierra-117, John, The Master Chief knows. Ever since he was a young child, he was kidnapped by Dr. Catherine Elizabeth Halsey, as part of a super soldier program, The Spartan-II program. He had fought an alien race known as The Covenant. He was last seen 4 years ago, after firing a newly built Halo ring. Him and an Elite by the name of Thel'Vadam, the most recent Arbiter of the Covenant, fought side by side, until the firing of the ring seperated them, tearing the ship Forward Unto Dawn in half. It is here, that the Chief wakes up, not to find himself fighting against the Forerunners and the Didact, but instead saving an equine inhabited planet from horrors, both new, and old. Year 2557, in the Forward Unto Dawn. "Chief! WAKE UP! We're heading for a planet, unknown classification! We've never seen this planet, atleast the UNSC hasn't! Wake up, now Chief!." Cortana was in panic, but she calmed herself relatively fast, as soon the Master Chief woke up. He hammered against the cryopod glass with his right fist, thawing himself out the pod with his left hand. "Cortana! Do a scan of the planets surface!" Chief shouted, adrenaline pumping through his veins from being in a ship that was crashing. "Okay, but what about you?" "I'm going to rush to the ships drop pods, see if we can safely make it down to the surface of the planet!" Chief grabbed his MA5D Assault Rifle, and his Magnum Pistol, as well as a combat knife and a few grenades that were scattered on the floor by a dead UNSC Marine. He ran through the ship, to the drop ship area of the Forward Unto Dawn. "Chief, I've mapped out a drop location! Yank me, and go, now!" Cortana shouted. The Chief yanked Cortana's A.I Chip out of the A.I Holder, and put it in his helmet. He then pryed open the dropship door, and got in the front seat of the dropship, activating it. Soon he felt the dropship leaving the Forward Unto Dawn. "Chief? I ran a planetary scan, it seems to be inhabited by an equine race. I set a landing zone for a town, although I don't know if the planets inhabitants will take too kindly to a human super soldier crash landing on their planet." She sighed, before continuing to speak. "We should try to find the leader. Who knows, just because it's an equine race, doesn't mean that they aren't aliens. Aliens sometimes can speak english, so maybe the leader will be able to talk to us." Master Chief nodded his head, and sighed. "Will do." He said, in his usual deep voice. Equis, Equestria, 10:00 PM Twilight Sparkle was by the balcony of her castle, with her friends, Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Rarity, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, and her baby dragon, Spike. They were going to be watching a meteorite shower. Twilight was looking up to the sky, when Rainbow suddenly blurted out: "I bet that I could beat that meteor coming down, in 10 seconds fl-!" Twilight had stuffed her hoof on Rainbow Dash's mouth, silencing her. "Shhh! I don't think it's a meteorite! And it's heading right for us!" To be continued... > Ponies, Rampancy, and Destruction > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Master Chief felt pain. He felt like he had hit his head and the world around him was spinning. It took him a few minutes to start slowly getting up. "I like to think that we've landed on the planet?" Cortana let out a small laugh. "We have, and we're both FiNe!?" Chief reactivated his HUD and saw an angry- scratch that, pissed off looking Cortana. She was ironically red, but soon after shouting, she became normal again. "C-chief.. I'm.. I'm sorry.." "What was that, Cortana?" "I was put into service 8 years ago Chief... A.I's only have a lifespan of 7..." Cortana hung her head. "I'm going rampant.. and there's nothing we can do about it." Chief stayed silent. He hadn't thought much about when or how Cortana would go rampant. It felt like those words had delivered a blow to Chief's stomach. "There's.. there's got to be a way to fix it. Halsey! We just have to get to Halsey." "Chief.. you know as well as I do, that's not possible... We're possibly light years away from wherever Halsey is... I'm sorry... But.. we'd better get moving, I'm detecting life forms... Likely those equine creatures I talked about before we hit atmosphere." Master Chief nodded his head and stood up, grabbing his guns and checking his ammo reserves. He then walked out a hole in the side of the Forward Unto Dawn. Now, call this luck, but the ship had missed a giant crystalline castle by mere inches. It only had made a huge mess of debris around the cartoony houses surrounding the frigate. As he walked out the side, he was greeted by gasps and whispers of terror. The equine creatures, who were at the tallest up to his stomach, were terrified. He looked at the creatures, he decided to call ponies, and walked forward a few steps. He then shouted "boo!", To get them to scatter. Out of the crowd however, came six ponies. One of them, a yellow pony, fluttered up to the Spartan-II super soldier. She was looking at him with such an intensity, with one eye open wide and the other closed, that the Chief was surprised her eyeball didn't pop out of its socket. The yellow pony spoke up. "Don't you EVER scare my friends like that again, space person! GOT IT?!" All around her, the ponies looked shocked at this sudden display of confidence from a usually shy pony. The Chief however, didn't move one bit. He however still managed to shock the ponies, by letting out a chuckle. He continued staring directly at the yellow pony, before she squeeked after realizing her famous "Stare" hadn't worked, and she backed up impossibly fast. This time, a purple pony stepped forward. The Chief, while knowing the ponies meant no harm so far, still hated the color purple. It was a classic color for the hated Covenant. This pony, spoke up in a much less angry voice. "Um.. excuse me, sir or ma'am? Do you mind telling me and my friends where you come from and.. what you are exactly?" She smiled- scratch that, grinned and clearly was thinking she was going to have a field trip asking him questions. Master Chief however, had other plans. He walked back inside the ship, and to the vehicle bay. He had hoped to find a warthog, or at the very least a mongoose, but what he found was enough to make even the most hardcore soldier cry in happiness. He had found not only the classic warthog, but also a Gauss warthog, and a Scorpion tank. Chief smiled to himself. Next stop was the armory. As Chief stepped inside, he was happily surprised to see it fully stocked. He grabbed two M6G Magnums, and placed them by the magnetic holders on his hips. He then took a MA5B Assault rifle, and placed his old magnum and assault rifle away. He then grabbed some duffle bags, and filled them with as much ammo as possible. He had two duffle bags. One for ammo, and one for grenades. He lifted the bags over his shoulders, and made his way out the frigate. It was then, that he saw two larger ponies. Both of them had flowing manes, one was white with multiple colors in it's mane, and the other was a black, or dark blue pony, with stars in its mane. They would have been up to Chief's shoulders had he stood right next to them The white pony spoke up. "Reveal yourself, creature of space, and I promise we will not harm you." That is when Cortana spoke to Chief. "Chief? I recommend listening to them. They are alicorns. Powerful mythological beings, that have flight, and magic." Chief nodded, and walked out, ready for anything. > This place is insane > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Chief walked out the Forward Unto Dawn, carrying with him his assault rifle and the duffle bags. The dark blue pony spoke up, in a loud booming voice. "Thy shall relinquish any weapons thy may have!" The Chief held his assault rifle even tighter, his Spartan Time kicking in. Not listening to Cortana's advice, he started to fire at the taller pony. Because, if Spartan-II training taught him anything, it's that a Spartan NEVER gives up their weapons. Luckily for the white pony, she used her magic to stop the bullets, only getting slightly grazed by one. The dark blue pony charged up her horn, clearly getting ready to attack. Chief waited for the right moment, jumping out of the way just in time. He opened fire on her, this time hitting the target right in the chest. Blood spurted out the wound, as a pale realization of death came to the pony. The white pony, screamed, and kept the dark blue one alive "LUNA!! Y-YOU MONSTER! YOU.. YOU METAL DEMON!" The white pony blasted something so powerful, so fast, at the chief that it completely knocked him cold. The last thing John remembered was hitting the ground with a thud. *1 hour later* The Chief started to awake, with a huge headache. He felt numb, and found that he was being held by the white ponies magic, while medics were attending to the pony that Chief now knew to be Luna. He spoke to Cortana using his neural interface. "Cortana? Are you there?" *No Answer* All of a sudden a voice spoke up. It was a feminine voice, and had a sense of kindness, and royalty to it. "She is safe. I took her to our scientists at Canterlot. She will further our technology by years! *ahem* now.. about what you did to Luna. You will spend a year in the Canterlot dungeons. We have also confiscated what we believe to be weapons." She had finally stopped talking. Chief, however, remained silent. He was thinking of a plan, until he was yet again interrupted. "You know, I can read your mind? The dungeons will be reinforced with magic barriers." The Chief sighed. This was going to be a hell of a day. *30 minutes later* The Chief had been looking around the rapidly moving scenery for a while. He was on a golden carriage, that somehow held his weight and all the other ponies weight too. He had kept his mind devoid of any thoughts to prevent the white pony from peering into his soul. He had also learned her name. Celestia The carriage slowed down as they flew over a city, a rather medieval looking one, just more colorful. They landed just outside a castle The Chief saw lots of guards. There was also a weird creature he was sure he had seen before. Alongside it, there was a pony who had a look of authority about him, as well as a mane of blue hair. The guards in the carriage told the Chief to get out. He decides to comply for now. Celestia got out too, and spoke up, her speaking directed to the weird creature and the pony with blue hair. "This metal monster landed in ponyville not so long ago. He.. propelled something from a metal object, that hit Luna in the chest, and she'll just make it. She was hurt bad. You two may do what you want to him when he is in his cell. He deserves it." The pony and the creature led the Chief into what looked to be an old dungeon. Now that he was free from Celestia, he could think. He luckily still had his armor, and his knife. He was sure with trying, he could break free from the magical cuffs on his arms. He was led into a chair. That was when he noticed the binds started to fade slightly. He struggled ever so slightly, breaking the cuffs. He rushed to the blue haired pony, punching him. He could hear bones breaking. The pony screamed in agony, and discord appeared in chiefs visor, smaller somehow. It spoke. "Don't you dare hurt him further!" The Chief grabbed the now small creature, and threw him away, taking out his knife. However, it wasn't a knife anymore. At least, it wasn't real. It was a plastic butter knife now. He stood up, and turned around to see the creature back to its tallish height now. The Chief then heard the clank of hooves in the dungeon. To be continued
